Yahweh the transcendent and immanent God to come and redeem and rescue His people for the express purpose of His own Glory and the redemption of the world. They believed that one like Moses would come, one like David, and that he would bring in true Yahwist worship, and that in many ways he would be Yahweh in the flesh, that one of their forming creeds was "a wandering Aramean was my father," is pivotal to how Israel (lit. those who strive with God) saw their relationship to Yahweh even in the promised land, the faithful were always looking forward to the Messianic age where Yahweh truly would be King, the faithful are living in that reality now (John 19:19) the rest that was promised through the shadow of the land (Heb 4:8) is granted back through Christ (Heb 3:14-15) a reclamation of the rest that we experienced in Eden (4:3-7) but which we need to still pass through this veil of tears in order to attain (4:11 emph. strive) in order that the proclamation of the Gospel--of God's Glory in the act of redemption, at various times and in various ways delivered unto us through the prophets, but now in all its brilliance spoken through the Son--may extend to the ends of the cosmos. (Acts 1:8)
