so I sware in my wrath, they shall not enter into my rest."

and to whom did He swear that they should not enter into his rest, but to those that were disobedient?

Let us therefore fear least a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of us should seem to fall short of it:

For we who believe shall enter into rest, as He said above, "So I sware in my wrath, they shall not enter into my rest:" though the works of creation were finished from the foundation of the world:

And yet in this place, "They shall not enter into my rest."

For if Joshua had given them the rest, He would not afterwards have spoken of another day.

There remaineth therefore a rest for the people of God:

for he that is entered into his rest, hath also himself ceased from his works, as God did from his.

Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, least any one fall after the same example of unbelief.
