"Put away" is an inaccurate term. Rather, "fulfilled" or perhaps, " continuing 'sabbath' "rest" is more in keeping with the New Covenant of which the Old Covenant Prophets spoke. We can find the directives in passages such as:
Col 2:14-17
14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
Hebrews 8:1-13 is an enlarged view of the DIVINE arrangement concerning Israel affecting the gentile engrafts in this hour.
Is the "Sabbath" expurgated from among the people [BODY of Christ?] or is the "rest" [Sabbath] other than a particular "day" of the week? Surely those who have entered into Christ have ceased from their assumed works of righteousness having "received" Him [the only acceptable offering for sin] and are now at rest. What does a certain day of the week have to do with justification by faith alone? Keeping a certain day of the week is ineffectual concerning propitation or justification. Paul [if you receive him] has written that no man is to judge others in regard to a holyday, new month or the Sabbath "days." More than one is revealed in Scripture.
Should one wish to keep a certain day of the week in honor of their salvation by GRACE, so be it. He/she is not to be discrimnated against concerning it.
The "shadow of things to come" indicates a prophetic issue that is [naturally] future such as the keeping of the Feast of Tabernacles as outlined in
Zechariah 14:16-19. But as the saying goes, "we'll cross that bridge when we come to it."
