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 has said somewhere about the seventh day like this, "God rested on the seventh day from all his works;"

5 and in this place again, "They will not enter into my rest."

6 Seeing therefore it remains that some should enter therein, and they to whom the good news were before preached failed to enter in because of disobedience,

7 he again defines a certain day, today, saying through David so long a time afterward (just as has been said), "Today if you will hear his voice, Don't harden your hearts."

8 For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day.
