1 | What is "entering into God's rest?" | NT general | Inquisitor | 224959 | ||
Hebrews 3:18 And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed? Hebrews 4:1 Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it. Hebrews 4:1-3 Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said, "So I declared on oath in my anger, 'They shall never enter my rest.' " And yet his work has been finished since the creation of the world. Hebrews 4:10 for those who enter God's rest also rest from their own work, just as God did from His. If we look at all these verses together in context, it seems pretty clear that God is talking the Ultimate Rest from our labors as christians, His children. In other words, it seems that the Hebrews writer (most probably Apostle Paul) is referring to Heaven. Notice especially the last verse where he's comparing our rest to that of God's Rest. What other meaning would you propose? It would be helpful if you provided some other verse to which you're referring. BTW, I could only find this phrase in the NIV, so please mention which version to which you're using. God bless, Inquisitor |

2 | What is "entering into God's rest?" | NT general | ariel levin | 224961 | ||
Shalom Inquisitor, According to Revelation, it doesn't seem that heaven is our final destination, just a connecting bus ride. After a minute in heaven, we return to the old earth during the millenium or to the New Earth (which has its own New Heavens). We were created from the earth for the earth, we're not heavenly beings. In the Bible, God doesn't do things that are not necessary, so why would He create a New Earth when all we need is heaven? We're bound for the New Jerusalem on the New Earth!! (Or are you equationg heaven with that?) Thank you :o) |

I can only respond with God's Word... Heb 9:26 He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now, once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. 27 And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, 28 so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation. God bless, Inquisitor |
