Hebrews 4:6,7

Seeing therefore-harden not your hearts; some connect verse Hebrews 4:6 immediately with verse Hebrews 4:11, making the intervening verses a parenthesis. But the passage is plainer if taken without any parenthesis, thus: "Seeing therefore"-as has been shown by the preceding argument-"it remaineth"-long after God has entered upon his rest of the Sabbath-"that some must enter therein"; in other words, that it is a rest yet reserved for some, namely, for all those who accept it as it is offered; "and seeing they to whom it was first preached"-namely, the Israelites in the wilderness-"entered not in because of unbelief; again, he limiteth a certain day"-that is, he therefore again sets a certain day-"saying by the mouth of David, To-day; thus showing that to-day an offer is made to men of God's rest-"after so long a time"-so long a time after the rest of Canaan had been entered upon-"as it is said"-rather, as it has been said before, in the quotation already made from Psalms 95:7 -"To-day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts" Of course, when David spoke of a time when men by believing might obtain rest, it was not the rest of Canaan, for that they had, verse Hebrews 4:8; nor was it the rest of the Sabbath, for that they had, verses Hebrews 4:3-4; but it was the rest of which these were emblems, the glorious, eternal rest of heaven.
