Perhaps if you explained how you see Hebrew 3:5 - 4:11 as being an allegory the Creation I would be able to grasp what it is your saying. Deut. 12:9,10; Josh. 21:44; 1 Kin. 8:56 The rest spoken about in Hebrew 3:5-19 was the rest of the promise land. God made the Children of Israel wander in the wilderness for 40 years because of their unrest. Hebrew 4:1-11 is really speaking of Jesus (Shiloh) The Rest Giver. Jesus was the fulfillment of the Sabbath Rest and this passage is speaking of the fulfillment and those that refuse to enter. EdB |

Regarding the creation and those travelling through the wilderness, the Author points out that God said, of the people, in His anger, they shall not "enter My rest." The author explains that God is reffering to His rest on the 7th day of creation, and relates it as a goal we should all try to attain. The Author then points out that after the forty years, Joshua led the people, but he was unable to lead them to God's "Rest." Therefore, the Author concludes that since Joshua was unable to take the people to God's "Rest," it must yet still be "Today," referencing the Sixth day of creation. He adds that while it is "Today," we (Christians) should act accordingly to a people trying to enter His "Rest." Now, under these circumstances, the 6th and 7th days of creation are not literal 24 hour periods, but are instead allegorized to reflect our lot in life "Today," as well as our ultimate destination tommorrow. There is a little more to it, but my brain is a little too tired to think. I hope this helps. |
