This has been a question I have pondered for many years now. Anyone who reads and studies scripture, knows there seems to be several different groups of people. Questions arise, are some of them included in a larger group or are all these mentions separate? While I don't have the answer to that, I would like to offer up something that sprung out of a heated debate on YouTube about the keeping of the Sabbath. On YT, someone kept throwing out there verse from Colossians and so I dug into the Greek and as it turns out, you can get a message from YHWH even from disbelievers. HE will use even the most stubborn stiff necked to work His will!!
So, with that being said, please see the Forum for the posting.

I am inclined to agree with the idea that those who believe in Messiah and keep Sabbath form a composite group who are likened to YHWH's bride. This sort of the imagery so familiar from the OT, Hosea come to mind. I think the wording "those who keep the commands and have the testimony of Yeshua" make it a neat fit.
Fully agreed!!! :)
