Quote:What about Sabbath?


Heb 4:1 Therefore, since a promise remains of entering into His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it.
Heb 4:2 For indeed the Good News was brought to us as well as to them, but the word which they heard did not profit them, not having been mixed with belief in those who heard it.
Heb 4:3 For we who have believed do enter into that rest, as He has said, “As I swore in My wrath, if they shall enter into My rest...” And yet His works have come into being from the foundation of the world.
Heb 4:4 For somewhere He has said thus about the seventh day, “And Elohim rested on the seventh day from all His works,”
Heb 4:5 and in this again, “If they shall enter into My rest...”
Heb 4:6 Since then it remains for some to enter into it, and those who formerly received the Good News did not enter in because of disobedience,1 Footnote: 1See 3:18.
Heb 4:7 He again defines a certain day, “Today,” saying through Dawiḏ so much later, as it has been said, “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.”
Heb 4:8 For if Yehoshua had given them rest, He would not have spoken of another day after that.
Heb 4:9 So there remains a Sabbath-keeping for the people of Elohim.

The sabbath being kept there is a spiritual rest and the way it's entered into is by belief.If we read verses it says it clearly

Heb 4:3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

In the following verse 6 it confirms that those who do not enter this rest do so because of unbelief.

Heb 4:4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
Heb 4:5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
Heb 4:6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:



Heb 4:9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
Heb 4:10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
Heb 4:11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.


The rest that remains for the people of God is not the physical rest as a result of keeping the fleshly commandment but as a result of labouring from our works to earn our salvation and believe in Jesus Christ for our salvation.
The Israelites did not enter the Promised Land due to their unbelief foreshadowing those who would not enter the eternal Promised Land due to their unbelief in Jesus, the salvation of God.
