There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. Hebrews 4:9


Do you see this rest as being synonomous with salvation?


JLB
No. The rest is assurance that God is the one saving. "...ceased from his own work." "Remains" means that sabbath rest is future to the one who does not yet have the experience. To one having the experience, entering is a past event and present condition, just like being born again is both a past event and a present condition to one who has the experience. Assurance is a blessing subsequent to the initial salvation experience which the apostles encourage us to attain.

Do you still have enemies that fight against you?

Does your flesh still strive against the Spirit within you?



When you have an immortal body that will never die and shines like the sun, then your flesh will no longer strive against the Spirit, and have lustful cravings that spring forth from the sin that now dwells in your flesh.

Then, you will be truly at rest.

This is something we all look forward to.




JLB
Glorification of the body is not the subject matter of Hebrews. This book is a warning about rejecting Christ as the ultimate sacrifice for sins, and an exhortation to accept the sufficiency of His sacrifice as full assurance of God's saving grace. In it there is no denial of enemies and struggles. Ch. 12 speaks of the "why" of the struggles, therefore struggles are acknowledged. So then, the rest that is talked about is not the kind you describe here. Sabbath rest is a condition of heart full of faith that Christ has won redemption. This rest is for those who believe, in the midst of current struggles.
TD:)
 
They same way I see a future salvation.



JLB
The NT teaches salvation that is past, present, and future. Justification is a past event, and therefore those who believe "have eternal life" as a current condition entered into in the past. Sanctification is an ongoing move to holiness enacted by the Spirit, making us more Christlike, and this is a present condition and process. Glorification is a future event enacted at the resurrection of the body.

But Hebrews is not about future glorification. To think so is to impose the idea on the book which is not intended by the author. The book is about the sufficiency of Christ's work for our salvation, and is an exhortation for God's people to enter into that sufficiency by faith. We enter this rest when we fully trust Christ for our eternal future. Entering sabbath rest as taught in Hebrews is the same as entering into the experience of knowing for certain that our justification is genuine. It is the "hope both sure and steadfast."

The rest that is future only pertains to the “people of God”.

I apologize for the length, but sometimes you need the whole.

Right after the seven vial judgments have been poured out on those who took the mark of the beast mystery Babylon will have been revealed and destroyed with fire as the kings of all the nations who took part in her will flee and bewail her destruction as well as those merchants who were made rich by her. Heaven and all those souls that have gone back to God while their physical bodies returned to the ground/grave will then rejoice as their blood will be avenged by God as the great city Babylon that has been revealed will be destroyed and the preaching of the Gospel will end as the door of Salvation will be closed forever as in Jesus was life and life was the light of men, but the darkness could not comprehend it, Rev 16-18, John 1:1-5.

Rev 19:1-6 begins with all those in heaven as they are rejoicing as God will have judged the great whore and destroys her in the end of days as even now she is corrupting the earth an causes much blood shed as she persecutes the saints of God to death. Rev 19:7-10 comes the timing of the marriage of the Lamb as the whore of Babylon and her city will have been destroyed and all those who are Christ asleep in the grave and alive at His coming have prepared themselves for the marriage of the Lamb as they being His Bride will sup with Him for eternity. Rev 19:7-9 mentions nothing of us being caught up to Him yet, but to us it will be granted that we being the Bride should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white for the fine linen is the righteousness of the saints.

The events that follow after heaven rejoices starting with Rev 19:11-21 is that Jesus returns with his army of warring angels (not the saints of God) from heaven that follow Him, as Jesus will then destroy the beast and fasle prophet casting them into the lake of fire and then will strike dead the remnant by the words of His mouth as the remnant are those who the beast uses to rule evil over the nations. Christ then sends an angel to bind Satan for a 1000 years so he can no longer deceive the nations (people) anymore until he is set loose for a time. A 1000 years in Rev 20 is not literal years, but only symbolic of a certain period of time as nowhere else in scripture does it mention a literal 1000 year reign of Christ here on earth, but symbolic as in Deuteronomy 7:9; 1Chronicles 16:15; Psalms 50:10; 90:4; 105:8 Ecc 6:6; 7:28; Daniel 5:1; 2Peter 3:8.

Rev 20:4-15 during this time of Satan being bound comes the resurrection of all, (as all means saints and those who are not of faith in God), who are asleep in the ground will hear the voice of Christ calling them to come forth as some will be resurrected to eternal life with the Father and others to damnation, John 5:28,29, 1Corinthians 15:51-58; 1Thessalonians 1:1-10; 4:13-18. When we are given our new glorified bodies Jesus will gather us to Him like a mother hen gathers her chicks under her wings for protection, Matthew 23:34-39. Satan will be loosed for a short time to go out and deceive the nations by gathering all those who are still alive that have rejected Christ and then sends them to attack the camp of the saints, but God sends fire down from heaven and to devour them. Satan is then cast into the lake of fire followed by those who stand in Gods Great White Throne judgment and as their names are not written in the book of life will then be cast into the lake of fire and remembered no more.

Many teach that there are two resurrections, but that is not what scriptures says.There is only one resurrection, but two judgments of those who sleep in the grave, John 5:28,29. Everyone was created by God, but not all are found faithful to Him as many refused to Hear the word of God and turned away from Him and will continue to do so until the coming of the Lord. Then there are those like that of the parable Jesus gave in Matthew 25:14-30 and the judgment of the Gentiles in Matthew 25:31-46. We know Jesus comes with rewards as the rewards are different for each one.

Rev 6:9-11 and Rev 20:4 were only visions John was being shown as it is only the souls that are reigning with Christ in heaven as John 3:13 says no one other than Christ has ever ascended up to heaven. The only thing that goes back to God when this physical body dies and goes back to the dust of the ground is the very breath/spirit that made us a living soul as the soul can never die, Genesis 22:7; Ecc 12:7; Matthew 10:28. Those souls John was being shown are reigning with Christ in Heaven for a time until all of God's enemies become His footstool as Christ who sits at the right hand of the Father reigns with Him in heaven until the end comes on the last day, John 6:40, when Christ returns and establishes His kingdom here on earth and takes His seat on the throne of David in the New Jerusalem, Isaiah 66:1; Matthew 5:33-37; Hebrews 10:12,13.

Many look for a physical kingdom here on earth and read into Rev 20 that Christ will reign for a thousand years here on earth with His saints, but truth is that Christ has always reigned with God from before the foundation of the world and for eternity, John 1:1-4; 1Peter 1:18-23. It was Satan's pride that caused the nations to sin against God as Satan ruled evil over the nations, Isaiah 14:12-15; Ezekiel 28:13-17, but yet the nations have always been Gods kingdoms as in the end of days He will separate the sheep from the goats/wheat from the tares. In Rev 11:14-19 the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign forever. What this means is that Gods longsuffering and patience will come to an end, 2 Peter 3:9, 10, as His great wrath is poured out on the earth. All His enemies will become His footstool, then will He send Christ and His army of angels to destroy all that is an abomination to Him casting it all into the lake of fire. Jesus will at that time establish His kingdom here on earth as God makes new the heaven and earth ushering down the new Jerusalem as we will then be with the Lord forever, Luke 19:12; 1Corinthians 15:20-26; 2Peter 3:10; Colossians 1:13; John 18:36, Rev 21:1.

Everything from Chapter 11:14 that starts the third woe with the seventh trumpet sounding and continues through Rev 20:15 comes quickly in Gods timing, even though man tries to put a certain timing to the beginning and end of Gods great wrath. We inherit the kingdoms of God from the day of our Spiritual rebirth, John 3:3-6; Romans 10:9,10 as they have been prepared for us from the foundation of the world, Matthew 25:34. We reign with Christ here on this present earth as Gods grace gives us all power and authority through that of Christ Jesus for it is not our power and authority, but is Christ's that works in us and through us as a faithful servant as He is in us and we in Him.
 
The NT teaches salvation that is past, present, and future. Justification is a past event, and therefore those who believe "have eternal life" as a current condition entered into in the past. Sanctification is an ongoing move to holiness enacted by the Spirit, making us more Christlike, and this is a present condition and process. Glorification is a future event enacted at the resurrection of the body.

Yes eternal life is past present as well as future, for those who believe to the end, in which they alone are qualified to enter His rest to come, that is for the people of God.


Now we have faith for this very thing, which means we have the hope of obtaining.

JLB
The rest discussed is to be entered when people of God are still alive. "Let us strive to enter." Those whom God said "would never enter" did not enter because of unbelief. Those who believe enter. This is why we can experience sabbath rest in the here and now. We don't have to wait until death and resurrection for this. Paul wrote "in due season you shall reap, if you don't faint." Different words for the same experience. Jesus came to give us abundant life; "Take My yoke upon you, for My yoke is easy and My burden light"; and "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." This is the same rest that Heb. is talking about. "Now is the acceptable time... today is the day of deliverance."

The rest is for today.

If you teach people that sabbath rest cannot be obtained in this life, you are hindering them from the purpose of the Hebrews message.

Yes when we have His Spirit within us we do have rest for our souls, which being free from the bondage and slavery to sin is truly rest and peace.

However this is only a small down payment towards the rest to come when we no longer are striving against the sin that dwells in our flesh and the devil that seeks to destroy us.

As it is written -

Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”
10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; 21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. 23 Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.

We do enter that rest to come by faith.

Heb 3:18-19 "And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief." "They could not enter" when? When they were still alive on earth!

Heb 4:1 "Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it." Come short of it when? When we are still alive on earth. If you don't enter into the experience in the here and now, you have come short of it.

Heb 4:2 "For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it." The only way to know that we have profited from the message is to have the experience of it in the here and now.

Heb 4:3 "For we which have believed do enter into rest..." "Do enter" - not "will enter at the Millennium" - it is a present experience (but only if you believe it).

Heb 4:6-7 "Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts." He says "today" is the time. Paul concurs by saying "now is the accepted time." The experience of rest is for "today." But only if you believe it.

Heb 4:10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. "Is entered" is a past-tense action. I have ceased from my own works to obtain rest, therefore I have entered. It then is a present experience.

Heb 4:11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. If I labor to enter rest but never enter until some "castle in the sky" time, then how am I to know whether or not I have fallen after the same example of unbelief? It is only when I experience that rest in the here and now, that I know for certain I have entered by faith into the eternal rest.

My experience is that I have entered that rest. I have ceased from my own works. This is spiritual truth requiring spiritual experience and spiritual understanding. Those who have not yet entered cannot know by experience, they can only hope that there is a promise from God to be fulfilled, and so they search for it. Those who have already entered know this rest by experience, and can testify that it is a promise for this life. It gives others who have not yet experienced it hope to enter that rest in this life.

If you acknowledge the rest that Jesus talks about is for a present experience, why do you think that the rest which the writer of Hebrews talks about is something different which can't be obtained until the Millennium? It is the same message, the same rest, and given the context of Hebrews, it is for the here and now.

Heb 3:18-19 "And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief." "They could not enter" when? When they were still alive on earth

Yes we have to enter the rest to come by faith, while still on the earth.


16 For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses? 17 Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey? 19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
Hebrews 3:16-19


They were obedient, and then rebelled.

They were qualified to enter the rest to come, but later the became disobedient, and were disqualified to enter the rest to come.

The way we are qualified to enter the rest to come is by the obedience of faith, in which we do enter now by faith, and receive an earnest or down payment now, in this life, of the rest to come, which is the Seventh Prophetic Day.

Mankind has been here for close to 6000 years and is approaching the Seven Thousandth year, which will be the Seventh Day that the weekly Sabbath points to.

For one the world ceases at the 7th vial as eternity begins.

You have human life continuing beyond the 7th vial, there is no further earthly time beyond this.

"It Is Done"

Revelation 16:17KJV
17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.

Revelation 21:6KJV
And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

Rev 16:17 Human life does continue after the seven vials are poured out as this is only God's wrath against those who take the mark of the beast as the great white throne judgment has not yet come at this point in time. It is done means that God's wrath upon those who have rejected Christ is now done.

Rev 21:6 it is done means that all things are then made new again and the New Jerusalem will have been ushered down from heave.

We will disagree, "It Is Done" is the end of time, eternity begins.

The 7th Vial and 7th Trump are parallel events of "The End", "The Last Day"
