Q: What's clear is keeping the sabbath holy. No verse in the Bible says the weekly Sabbath was stopped or changed.
A: The answer you're seeking is plainly laid out in Colossians 2:16-17. This passage describes the Sabbath days as a "shadow," which inherently indicates their temporary nature. There's no need to deny that they were not meant to be permanent.
Hebrews 10:1 clarifies that a "shadow" is never the actual "reality." This includes the Ten Commandments and the Sabbath, as the immediate context of Hebrews 9:1-4 shows. That's the answer you're looking for; it's right there in the text.
This is also why in Hebrews 4:9, what "remains" is the "Sabbatismos," not the "Sabbaton." The word "remains" implies that the "shadow-sabbaton" has already passed away after Christ's arrival and sacrifice on the cross, as explained in Ephesians 2:14-15.
