We have up to this point declared and established the hidden meanings of the Old Covenant Words of Moses, in that all point to Jesus the Christ the Son of God / Son of Man as the perfect offering for all fallen mankind unto the Father. That God now speaks instructively to His New Covenant people through Christ’s words is seen in Hebrews 1:1-2…“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son…” And thus comes the first warning of the Book of Hebrews to reluctant Believers: “Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, (a reference to the Old Covenant demand for observance) and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward; How shall we escape (us escaping New Covenant judgment being even less likely), if we neglect so (much more) great salvation: (beyond an earthly to a heavenly) which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him…” [Hebrews 2:1-3]

After the first warning, Paul continues his argument of the superiority of Jesus. He discusses how He had willingly taken on the nature of man, as the seed of Abraham, and suffered being tempted and tested in all points as man, even unto death. By His obedience unto suffering, even unto the place of death, He destroyed the devil and his authority over death, being the First Resurrected Begotten Son from among the dead, and was exalted to the right hand of the Father. He is greater than Angels and more worthy than Moses, as He was superior as a Deliverer and Messenger; having a greater Salvation calling Message for sons unto God’s glory, and now being appointed that great task as mediating High Priest; in that of bringing those many sons who will unto that heavenly kingdom glory of His House. “Whose house are we if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.” [Hebrews 3:6] (Compare this with 1st Peter 2:1-10)

Which leads to the 2nd warning in the Book of Hebrews to Believers starting in verse 3:7 (to 4:13) where Paul quotes an applicable passage from the 95th Psalm… “TO DAY if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation in the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. Wherefore I was grieved…So I SWARE in my wrath, they shall not enter into my REST” (see Numbers 13&14). Paul then further declares to the New Covenant Believers… “Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.” [Hebrews 3:12]Three great things of note so far in Paul’s argument:
1) The Holy Spirit’s application of “To day”…Paul now also holds out as yet attainable, as did David to his generation, now over a thousand years later, the opportunity still exists to enter into God’s future “Rest”. This showing that the “Rest” into which the Israelites delivered from Egypt were to enter, the Promised Land, is but a type for the current calling unto God’s delivered by Jesus Christ from the kingdom of darkness, that they, like the ancient Israelites, don’t fall under judgment for stubborn unbelief and be refused entry into His Millennial Redemption Rest. “Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.” (Hebrews 4:1) …2) God “sware”… to those who were then in unbelief, that they would not enter into His typical “rest”, in that His Oath removes all question as to any possibility of their entering into that promised land “rest”. It was certainly put aside, as we saw. 3) The “rest” of that day was lost by the Israelites finally, by the provoking of God 10 times in unbelief in the wilderness. And by way of example, the Holy Spirit uses them as a picture of how followers of Christ may also finally lose their inheritance, that of being a partaker in the future heavenly kingdom. That inheritance being the 1000 year Redemption Rest of God; that greatest “rest” than set forth in the Israelites’ Promised Land type, and greater than that of Creation’s Rest after 6 days of creative work, after which on the 7th Day He rested.

“To Day” is representative of........
