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, as we know, when speaking of the seventh day He has used the words, "And God rested on the seventh day from all His works;"

5 and He has also declared, "They shall not be admitted to My rest."

6 Since, then, it is still true that some will be admitted to that rest, and that because of disobedience those who formerly had Good News proclaimed to them were not admitted,

7 He again definitely mentions a certain day, "To-day," saying long afterwards, by David's lips, in the words already quoted, "To-day, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts."

8 For if Joshua had given them the true rest, we should not afterwards hear God speaking of another still future day.
