<TITLE>18. Par -</TITLE>L-37-152 Now, notice now in Hebrews 4, he comes to the sabbath proposition. Now, look.
Let us therefore fear, lest, the promise being left us to enter into his rest,...
Now, Paul speaking to sabbath keepers now, the people that kept the sabbath day. "Let us fear lest a promise being left us about a sabbath day," in other words. Or if you'll notice your marginal reading, or the "keeping of a sabbath." It's "j" in mine, of the Scofield Bible, or the "keeping of a sabbath." See? All right.
Let us... fear, lest, a promise being left us... to come short of it.
For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them... (back under the law):... but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith to them that heard it.
Now, that's back under the law. They didn't have faith, 'cause there's nothing to base it on. See? All right:
For we which have believed to enter into His rest, as he said,...
Now, "His" rest, now, "His," it's Christ's Rest (All right.), His Rest, His sabbath. I'm... Every time I use "rest," is wrote there, I'm going to use the "sabbath" so you'll understand about keeping of a day. See?
For we which have believed to enter into His... (sabbath)... rest, as he said,... I have sworn in my wrath,... (to the Hebrews)... they shall not enter into my rest: although... (Now, watch Paul...?... after God's sanctified day)... although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day for a rest,... (or a sabbath... Is that right? I'm going to lay that there. See?) For he spake in a certain place... (in the law)... of the seventh day on this wise,
And God did rest on the seventh day from all his works.

L-37-156 That was His seventh day. Now, Paul would admit that God give it to them; that was the seventh day. And God did rest the seventh day: He blessed the sabbath day; He hallowed it; He sanctified it, and made it a day of rest. God did do it, from all His works.
And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest (Jesus speaking).
Now, there's another sabbath somewhere. Where's it? Now, remember this here, "God's rest," that seventh day. Paul said, "They had that in a certain place." But now again he said, "If they shall enter into My Rest," speaking of Jesus in Matthew, all right.
Seeing that it remains that some must enter in, and to them to whom it was first preached entered not... because of unbelief:
Again...
Now, listen close. Everybody listening, say "Amen."  [Congregation says, "Amen!"--Ed.] Listen:
Again, he limited a certain day,...
He limited a day here. What was it? Everybody say it at once. The sabbath. Is that right? He limited the seventh day of the week as a sabbath in this place.
And again, he limited a certain day, saying in David... (in the Psalms)..., To day, after so long a time;... (till Jesus comes, you see, the first time)... it is said,
To day if You... hear his voice, harden not your heart. (There's another rest coming, not a physical, a spiritual.)
