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 He spoke in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: "And God rested on the seventh day from all His works."

5 And again in this place: "If they shall enter into My rest"--.

6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter in because of unbelief,

7 again He designates a certain day, saying in David "today," after so long a time, as it is said, "Today if you will hear His voice, harden not your hearts."

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