God has always promised "REST" to His people,and the "elect" "saved" of His people, Israel, and a few "chosen" ones of the Gentiles, have always found the enterance into this "REST" By faith and holiness. Heb. 4: 1 "Therefore, "since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it. v.2 "For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those heard it." v.3 "For we who have BELIEVED DO ENTER THAT REST,(are entering, present tense) We have not entered FULLY, but we and the O. T. saints will fully enter at the same time. Thirs' and ours' is a physical REST in ,on , the New Earth. READ ON ! v.5b "...They shall not enter My rest",(as a nation,they were not saved, only the "ELECT" were saved were saved and began to enter that eternal REST) v. 6 "Since therefore it remains that some must enter it, and those of whom it was first preached did no enter because of disobedience ," v.7 "Again He designates a certain day, saying in David.Today,...If..." ( like, being postponed again because Israel is still in unbelief.) (AND Israel rejected Jesus, SO, it was postponed again, as God's eternal plan) SO, v.9 "There remains therefore a rest for the people of God." v.11 "Let us therefore be diligent to enter that REST, lest any one fall according to the same example of disobedience." ( the saved of God of all the age have yet to enter that REST God has promised , BECAUSE, God will not give the elect their REST untill all the "ELECT" of all nations have been saved. AND it will take the Millenium reign of Christ to finish His work with Israel and all nations.) THINK hard on these truths. Hoffco And Homwardbound, You also must be diligent to enter that RST by faith and much hard work and patience. why am I told, a lie by my PC? I have not make as post , HOW can this one be a "duplicate"?
