Hebrews 4:1-14 BSB

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 4:1

Let us therefore fear: the Spirit draws this counsel from the former sad event of unbelief in the progenitors of these Hebrews, who were shut out of an earthly Canaan by it, which was promised to them: hereon he adviseth them to avoid that sin which will have now as fearful a punishment, viz. the shutting them out of the heavenly Canaan, tendered and promised to believers in thee gospel. Fear is that affection of the soul, by which it avoideth and shunneth what is hurtful to it, and here... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 4:2

For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: the reason enforcing the former counsel is, their having mutually the same means, the one as the other, and if they fear not, may be guilty of the same sin; for the Hebrews and the whole church were evangelized by the outward publishing to them, and their professed reception of, the glad tidings of salvation by God the Son incarnate, who was to lead them in the way to God’s eternal rest; which if they had been truly evangelized and... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 4:3

For we which have believed do enter into rest: a further reason setting home this counsel, was the certain benefit of our care in believing; for that the community of real Christians, partakers and exercisers of the same precious faith, as Paul himself, 2 Peter 1:1, have the same privilege as believing Caleb and Joshua had, Numbers 14:24,Numbers 14:30, to enter into God’s rest; initially having peace with God now, and his love shed abroad in their hearts by the Holy Ghost, witnessing their... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 4:4

For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise; the Spirit proves, that the rest mentioned by David, Psalms 95:11, is not meant the seventh day’s rest, because spoken three thousand years after that rest was past; but this rest of which he speaks was to come, though spoken of and known then: for Moses had spoken of it in a well known place to them, Genesis 2:1-3, and this when he wrote of the seventh day, which was eminently noting the sabbath, and a type of God’s most... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 4:5

And in this place again: και here is not so much copularive, connecting an instance of David to the same purpose of that of Moses about the seventh day’s rest from the creation; but discretive, joining an instance of another rest of God different from the seventh day’s rest. Moses spake of this, but David here of a further rest; for in Psalms 95:11, David spake not of the seventh day, but of God’s last and eternal rest. If they shall enter into my rest; ei here is affirmative, as appears by... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 4:6

The Spirit having demonstrated, that God’s rest sworn to believers in the gospel, and mentioned by David, could not be the seventh day’s rest; proceeds to prove likewise, that it could not be the rest of Israel in the land of Canaan, since that was entered into four hundred years before he wrote by the Spirit of this better rest, since those unbelieving Israel that entered into Canaan never entered into this rest. Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein; forasmuch then as a... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 4:7

Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David: this is a further proof, that David did not mean or intend the rest of the Jews in Canaan, in the Psalms 95:1-11, from the determined time of it; as if the Spirit had said: Besides what I have proved, take another argument; Again I argue. God by the prophet setteth out, and severeth from all other time, a certain stated day, from which the rest spoken of is cleared, and of it testifieth by him, Psalms 95:7,Psalms 95:8. To-day, after so long a... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 4:8

This is the improvement of the former instance, Hebrews 4:7. If Joshua, by bringing Israel into Canaan, had given rest to all believers, then God would not by David have spoken of another day and state of rest to come. Joshua was a type of Jesus bringing believers into the true rest of the heavenly Canaan, as he did Israel into a literal one, Acts 7:45. For if Jesus had given them rest; if that of Canaan was the full and perfect rest of believers, which was given them by him. Then would he not... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 4:9

Here the Spirit concludes from his former proofs, that there is a more excellent rest revealed to faith in the gospel, which is remaining, future, and to come, and will surely and most certainly do so; though it be behind, yet it will be enjoyed. A sabbatism, which is a state and season of a most glorious rest, {see Hebrews 4:10} shall be enjoyed by sincere believers, the true Israel of God, of whom he is the Proprietor, and who are for their eternal state so excellently holy, and of so Divine... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 4:10

This proveth the foregoing consequence of a rest remaining, from the nature of a true rest, which is a resting from all labours, which the Israelites did not in Canaan, therefore it is yet to come. For every true believer who hath full possession of God’s rest, where God is satisfying of them in bliss, they rest in his loves, of which the sabbath and Canaan were but types. He also hath ceased from his own works; such true Christians have ceased and rested from all their sinful works and... read more
