Hebrews 4:6 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 4:6

Seeing therefore it remaineth
It follows by just consequence,

that some must enter therein;
for God's swearing concerning some, that they should not enter into his rest, supposes that others should: and

they to whom it was first preached;
to whom the Gospel was first preached, namely, the Israelites in the wilderness: entered not in because of unbelief; See ( Hebrews 3:19 ) .

Hebrews 4:6 In-Context

4 For in a certain place he spoke of the seventh day thus: And God rested the seventh day from all his works.

5 And in this place again: If they shall enter into my rest.

6 Seeing then it remaineth that some are to enter into it, and they to whom it was first preached did not enter because of unbelief:

7 Again he limiteth a certain day, saying in David; To day, after so long a time as it is above said: To day if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

8 For if Jesus had given them rest he would never have afterwards spoken of another day.
