When the land which was to be known as Israel was promised by God to the Children of Israel, they were to conquer the then existing nations within the confines of the are promised.
It is my undersstanding the Children were to be given rest after having vanquished those nations.
They did have a brief rest, but not permanent rest because they were rebellious and often played the whore..
Of course, had the Children been totally and perfectly obedient there would be no need for another Israel, another rest.
By the gospel of Jesus Christ all who will come to Him are now joined to the Original Flock, and we now await the true Israel of God, the capital of which is New Jerusalem to come down form God. When this occurs we will once and forever enter into His rest.
The Sabbath rest is not the same, it is simply a rest from the other six days of work. Many people today say they are in constan rest becaue they believe Jesus Christ. I find this to be a delusion.
I do not know of anyone now in the flesh who has entered into toatl rest with God,, nor total resst from mundane work in this age.
The truth is now residing in our inward parts and in our hearts, but eternal rest with God will come when the batles are over and we are in the Israel of God with our King present. We are not reigning now in this age without the King. That thought is ridiculous.
As yet we have not invited every man under his fig tree, nor have any achieved the state of everyone kowing the Lord, but this Day is coming for all who are in Jesus Christ.
I believe many are self-deceived because they forget or even deny that our faith truly is the faith of Abraham, and not some latter day invention of mankind, that being of a denomination.
Believe Jesus Christ and do His word, for He is our Example, and we are to conduct ourselves as best we are able just as He did. Praise god.
