But there was the coming of Christ, our full-time Sabbath rest (of which it was the type, Heb 4:4), from our own work to save and in his work which saves to the uttermost.
Heb 4:4 is talking about the future the millennium period, when Jesus makes his second coming. But let's take a look in the future concerning the Sabbath in Isaiah 56: 1 Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation
is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed. 2 Blessed
is the man
that doeth this, and the son of man
that layeth hold on it; that
keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and
keepeth his hand from doing any evil. 3 Neither let the
son of the stranger, that hath
joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I
am a dry tree. 4For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose
the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant; 6
Also the sons of the stranger, that
join themselves to the LORD, to
serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that
keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and
taketh hold of my covenant; 7 even them will
I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices
shall be accepted upon mine altar;
for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.
God intended for the weekly Sabbath (this word means rest in Hebrew) to be a refreshing blessing for mankind. God knew that human beings would need periodic rest and change from work. But the purpose for keeping God's Sabbath goes far beyond simply resting on that day.
