HEBREWS—NOTE ON Hebrews 4:8 For if Joshua had given them rest. One could conceivably argue that the “rest” that the exodus generation sought was their entrance into the Promised Land. However, that entrance occurred in the days of Joshua, and Psalms 95:1 (with its promise of “today” entering into God’s rest) is later than Joshua’s day. Therefore, the Sabbath rest remains possible for God’s people to enter even now, in this life (Hebrews 4:9).
