So, as long as God's promise of entering into a state of rest with Him [still] remains, we should fear that someone among you will appear [in the end] to have fallen short of [attaining] it. [Note: In this section "entering into rest" refers to Israel entering Canaan (verses 6, 8) and to Christians entering heaven (verses 3, 9). The "Sabbath day rest" is represented as a type of both]. For we [Christians] have had the good news [about resting with God] preached to us, just as the Israelites [had good news proclaimed to them. See 1:16-19]. But the message they heard did not benefit them, because it was not coupled with faith by those who heard it.

[So] then, a Sabbath "rest day" [still] remains for God's people [i.e., for Christians, in heaven]. Verse ConceptsNames For HeavenRest, EternalSabbath, In OtSabbath, In NtAfflictions, Consolation DuringThe SabbathRest
