Hebrews 4: Let Us Labor to Enter His Rest...Grammar Study

[cfultz3]

I will use the Textus Receptus for translating. Comments and suggestions are most welcome. This study is not for or against any particular opinion of theology, but is, in all possibilities, meant for a study of verb tense, and phrase meaning so that we all could learn more about God's written word. Keeping this in mind, I am asking that this does not become a thread for debate. I do ask that if you are to comment that you stay within the same chapter and comment on one verse at a time so that we can learn more easily. Thank you.

Again, you can copy and paste this study into E-Sword.

Heb 4:1φοβηθωμενG5399 V-AOS-1P - (we should be frightened) ουνG3767 CONJ - (therefore) μηποτεG3379 ADV-N - (if perhaps) καταλειπομενηςG2641 V-PPP-GSF - (being left behind) επαγγελιαςG1860 N-GSF - (a promise) εισελθεινG1525 V-2AAN - (to enter) ειςG1519 PREP - (into) την καταπαυσινG2663 N-ASF - (the rest) αυτουG846 P-GSM - (His) δοκηG1380 V-PAS-3S - (anyone should seem(to be of an opinion by another)) τιςG5100 X-NSM - (any one) εξG1537 PREP - (of (origin)) υμωνG4771 P-2GP - (you*) υστερηκεναιG5302 V-RAN - (to had fallen short)

Heb 4:1 Therefore, we should be frightened if perhaps, a promise being left behind to enter into His rest, anyone of you* should seem (to be of an opinion by another) to had fallen short.

KJV Heb 4:1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.

Notes:

be frightened (passive depOnent) = the passive tells us that something has caused us to be afraid. And what is that but that warning in chapter 3 telling us that there is a possibility of not entering into His rest. It is good to have faith, but faith alone is not enough. Will it be said of you, "But Lord, I was not under the Law, so when the Spirit said to me not to lie or to steal, I told Him to hush, that I am of faith alone.' And the Spirit will say, 'But I spoke to you God's will and you were stubborn in your obedience to it." And the Lord will say, 'Depart from me you worker of iniquity." Don't be fooled, faith alone without works is dead. The deeds which belongs to the house of faith are the ones which we perform under the Spirit. The Spirit says, "feed and cloth the hungry" and this fulfills the Law through Love and we will be spiritually rewarded in God's Kingdom. Seek you first your treasures in Heaven and that is done by obedience to His Voice.

should seem = not the opinion of another human, but that of God's. It is the one who does the will of the Father who shall enter into His rest, His Kingdom. (Mat 7:21) It is the servant whose heart has grown weary for His Lord's return and then turns to sin, as they did in the wilderness awaiting for the promised land, who shall be appointed their portion with the hypocrites (unbelievers). (Mat 24:48-51) It is the Lord who shall say, 'Depart from Me you workers of iniquity. (Luk 13:27) Faith without the works of the Spirit is a death warrant which shall be spoken by the Lord Himself. So, do not grow weary in doing good, knowing that the Lord speaks in the present when He says, 'I DO COME'.

had fallen short (peRfect Active iNfinite) = the perfect is a tense which speaks of an one time action which HAS occurred in the past. The active tells us that we are the performers of that action (the passive would tell us that God performed that action on us, which would be like saying, 'God caused me to fall". Is it not logical to conclude that we, by our choices, would have caused our own fall?). The infinite gives the action of the verb a sense of possibly having occurred at anytime, and thus, should be avoided. So, let us labor to enter into that rest and not be an example of those who fell in the wilderness (v4:11).

^ Yes! ^

Cee pulls power from He who is in him. Beautiful, Christbro

And, when, I say 'pulls,' I mean, cee wrestles with God for the greatest answer for the greatest good, wanting God's perfect words to bless you all, Christ peeps . And, like Jacob, would not let go of God until God granted Jacob favor, cee does not let go, for He knows his relatuinship with God is 'great,' and, God NEVER EVER NEVER lets go of us who are in Love with Him and His ways and leading by His Spirit and Truth for our life

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Notes:[/FONT]


[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]seeing that = the reason why we can come up short in entering His rest: the lack of making that which you have heard from Him reality. That is, not making that which you have heard an AMEN (so be it). Without belief in what He says, one is but a hearer and not a doer. As Jesus did the will of the Father, so too are we to do the will of the Father. Now, ask yourself, what is the will of the Father? Hint -- the Spirit speaks the Law of God which is written upon your heart. You have no need for one to teach you His will, just simply comply with the Spirit.[/FONT]


[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]having had good news proclaimed = this is an adverbial description of 'we'. The emphasis is on us being a group, a group which has been proclaimed good news like the group in the wilderness. The writer of this letter is trying very hard to give the audience of this letter an understanding that the same thing will happen to us from the house of faith as it did to those from the house of Moses if we ignore His Voice as some of them did. [/FONT]


[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]that discourse from that hearing = that discourse of the Law which they heard as oppose to the discourse from Jesus we have heard. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Notes:[/FONT]


[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]The emphasis is on the middle voice. We from the house of faith, do walk ourselves into the Promised Land by belief in Jesus' discourse. And we do make that belief active by believing what was heard and obeying it (hearkening from His Voice). Do you get the connection now, it has always been about obedience to His Voice. That Voice who once spoke of righteousness obtained through deeds was spoken to those under the Law. But now, the Voice spoken through Jesus says righteousness is obtained by the Son obedience to those from the house of faith. So, indeed, we stand before God justified through the belief in the Son's discourse (believe the Son when He says, 'I am the Way'). But, we must be willing to walk on that narrow road with a willful heart to obey the Voice. [/FONT]

Amen, cee, hearing the Word is never enough, it must be mixed with faith that causes us to be obedient, even, if He deems, like Abraham having Isaac on the sltar, to the point of death.

Jesus is Lord, no one matches His power, no name is above His name, He is ruler supreme , of all. Therefore, live your life understanding of His Love for you. He came to Earth to show us the way Home, on a narrow road we walk, knowing His care for His sheep never wavers, ever, we are His. Stay His, sheep, don't leave the pasture, your green fields, for your Rest awaits

This finished works , foundation of the world could be reference to creation or Israel did not enter His rest even though they did works, because salvation is from faith, not works, though, be certain, Christ peeps, IF God is on your heart, in your heart, inside your life , you will WORK, as He leads

 

[cfultz3]

To understand 'they are finished works' we must first understand that two groups, the house of Moses and the house of faith. are being spoken about. The Word spoke the Law of Ordinances to them and by which, they received their justification and was able to enter God's rest, howbeit, not all. And to us, the Word spoke the Law of the Spirit and by which we are also able to enter God's rest, howbeit, not all of us in like manner. Now, both of these works, the Law and the Gospel, were foreordained in God's wisdom before He rested on His Sabbath, as verse 4 tells us.

Allow me to completely express out verse 3 without the middle clause so that all might understand:

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Heb 4:3 But we, those having believed (of the Jews and Christians), do bring ourselves into that rest, although those works (acts, deeds) had been caused to be (to become into existence) since the world's foundation.

Do we see now that all things are according to God's eternal plan. All that which was, is, and shall be is according to God's plan. There is nothing new under the sun, seeing that all creation follows the laws set forth by God for an end purpose. And when all that which is vanity shall vanish, we then shall return to Paradise Lost, forevermore in unity with God. Amen.

The Word is revealed here in cee's words, Christ peeps, the great 'rest' of the Word, for those who understand His 'rest' is forevermore good,for those who believe in 'it,' and, do things obedient to receiving 'it.' Follow Him, the Lord leads, worship Him, worship Him, with so doing, you will see His great Love and grace shower all over your life, as you create and create, and, create, and, create, and create, and create, as He leads you in your life, be a DO'er, not a say'er just, for then you will get that 'rest' at the appointed time of His that is for you forevermore.

God's place of comfort, heavenly comfort is waiting for us IF we can understand His way of having us 'rest' is to WORK but without working works that get us to Heaven, for only FAITH_FULL adherence to His commands for us leading our life get us to His 'rest.' A resting place, without rest, only joy ! No sorrow, no pain, ONLY rest !!! Ahhhh, the wonderful Truth, the wonderful promises of God for those who do what He asks ("Follow Me") in their life.

As if the Word is anything more than the simplicity of knowing who has been here since the foundation of the world, who God sent (His Son) to save us from sin and death and show us the way Home, as if there is any other more important thing than that understanding and all the Love of Him, His law of Love for us with that understanding, that is all. As Galations 5:14 states, once we Love the law is THEN being followed. Whose law, green? The law that leads our life, the law that is of Christ (Galations 6:2), 'the law' that gives us 'rest.'

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Notes:[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Today after so long of an interval =[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif] from their time in the wilderness to the time He said 'today' again in one of David's psalms. By Him saying 'today' in both instances, then that means that day which He spoke it was not the day in which He was speaking about. Thus, the promise of rest was not concerning the promised land of their inheritance, but a rest which is His rest, as verse 4 tells us. [/FONT][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Heb 4:6 Seeing that it therefore does remain for some to enter into it, then those having formerly been brought good news did not enter in because of (channel of an act) disbelief (stubborn opposition). [/FONT]

God said things, like 'no tatoos' and when a command was not obeyed it was showing not just a lack of belief but a lack of what, Christ peeps? Faith. As a cee word said, the Israelites showed 'faithless ' way. Faithlessness, this simple kind of act was HUGE in these times and ....

What about now, green? We are under Christ now, not under law, right?.

'Under Christ' means an even.greater appreciation of the law, with grace and mercy and His Love understood of being under Him.
Faithless, as has been made clear in Hebrews verses earlier , means not entering His 'rest' when you die
Remember, too, never forget, His mercies are new every morning
Christ, so Loves you, peeps, live in His Love, let Him lead you, read the Word with Him teaching you soo many things

Thankyou cultz, I am amazed as I was able to read this posting and understand what is written, I love how Jesus works!
For I had set a question before Our Lord in Jesus, and the answer was given in the words here.

For where before we obeyed the law, we now in love, obey Jesus, thus all is done according to the wll of God, and by doing so, we have our rest in Him.
For the law of love fullfills the comandments, and brings us rest in Jesus.

A scripture that sums up well the lesson taught here...
Do not love me just in words, but in deed and truth as well.

Sometimes I do wonder which steals salvation more, sin or condemnation?
Some how I believe they are one in the same.

Thankyou for this posting cultzs.

Thankyou Lord Jesus!!!

God bless

Everything which has been said so far has been pointing to that one thing you quoted: Do not love me just in words, but in deed and truth as well. It is all about love Pickles. Love fulfills all things.

Heb 4:8 ειG1487 COND - (if...then) γαρG1063 CONJ - (for) αυτουςG846 P-APM - (them) ιησουςG2424 N-NSM - (Joshua (Greek form of his name is 'Jesus')) κατεπαυσενG2664 V-AAI-3S - (Joshua gave rest) ουκG3756 PRT-N - (not (abs. neg.)) ανG302 PRT - (would) περιG4012 PREP - (about) αλληςG243 A-GSF - (another) ελαλειG2980 V-IAI-3S - (then He have been speaking) μεταG3326 PREP - (after) ταυταG3778 D-APN - (those things) ημεραςG2250 N-GSF - (another day)

Heb 4:8 For if Joshua (Greek form of his name is 'Jesus') gave them rest, then He would not (abs. neg.) have been speaking about another day after those things (in the wilderness).

KJV Heb 4:8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.


Notes:

Although Joshua did give them rest in the Promised Land, it is not the sort of rest being spoken about here. Otherwise He would not have mentioned 'Today' again in one of David's psalms after having entered the Promised Land.

Heb 4:9 αραG686 PRT - (therefore) απολειπεταιG620 V-PPI-3S - (sabbatical does remain) σαββατισμοςG4520 N-NSM - (a sabbatical rest (our sabbath as God has a Sabbath)) τω λαωG2992 N-DSM - (for the people) του θεουG2316 N-GSM - (of the God)

Heb 4:9 Therefore, a sabbatical rest(our sabbath as God has a Sabbath) does remain for the people of God.

KJV Heb 4:9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

Notes:

Note the word change from 'rest' to 'sabbatical rest'. There will come a blessed time when the 'sweat of our brow' and the 'labor of childbirth' shall be lifted up off from us. There shall be no more of that curse, but we, as God, shall rest from our labor and be reunited to our God as it was before the fall. Do not grow weary, knowing soon the toils of this life shall be but not even a memory for those who are God's people.

Heb 4:10 Seeing that the one having entered into His rest (God's rest, not man's rest of v9) has also himself ceased from his works, just at God has from His own.

KJV Heb 4:10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his


Notes:

LOL. This is funny, before reading this verse for study, I explained it in verse 9 notes. What is to be taken from this: there is a logical flow in God's written word.
