Paula, but it is interesting that the seventh day does not have a morning and evening statement as do the others. Which I do think indicate that this rest lasted more than just one day.
I understand the God rest thing like,
- God created
- God rested
- At some point sin entered
- God began to work again
- His work finished with His death and resurrection
- God is now resting (waiting for his enemies to be made his footstool (Hebrews 10:13))
The rest spoken of in Hebrews 4, I guess is only available through Jesus Christ, to rest from working our way into eternal life, and just believe that Jesus has done the work for us, we can thus enter in his rest, by being in Him.
Just some rapid thoughts
In Jesus
