Proposal 3 is strong. Well written, we must always interpret the OT by the NT and expect clarification and exposition where there is not abrogation, as Augustine wrote,

“The New Testament lies hidden in the Old, and the Old Testament is unveiled in the New”

Our Sabbath theology flows and is clarified at each major stage of revelation….founded at Creation, which emphasises the concept of holy rest, clarified at Sinai, the positive application of active worship, and fully revealed by Christ and His Apostles.
