Nope. Actually the past would not be a "single past-oriented meaning." It can be past and future. The denial of the verse significance would need a "single future-oriented meaning".
However, that is a difficult position, as the scripture itself points back:
... For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day:
wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
And since the decalogue creation sabbath has multiple attestations, OT and NT, it is a minor issue. And simply fits perfectly with the note about Abraham. Rather than being a singular "proof text".
