Is Sabbath rest about going to heaven? ~ Cross reference of Hebrews 4:4 to Genesis 2:2
This is probably a very sloppy verse in the Greek text where the author of Hebrews says that "somewhere he has spoken" so much for every word of the Greek text being god breathed. Anyway what Hebrews 4 is saying is that Christians who believed in Jesus will enter the rest [I believe he is saying that the Christians will go to heaven], while Israel did not believe in Jesus and hence are not be going to heaven. What confuses me is why does he quote Genesis 2:2 that talks about G-d taking rest on the seventh day. There are several other passages that talk about Sabbath that G-d gave as a command to Israel. I will quote a few of these passages and leave this post here as Sabbath rest is for Israel as part of the 613 laws and they are to keep it for eternity on this earth. This is not about going to heaven and resting. All Images are links to Google Images. Copyright violations not intended. All Greek Text references are from NIV and Tanakh references are from Chabad.
