I'm not asking about the word Sabbath in Greek. I am asking about the word ἄρα.
GREEK INTERLINEAR
HEBREWS 4:9 άρα (Then) απολείπεται (there is left) σαββατισμός (a Sabbath keeping) τω (to the) λαώ (people) του θεού (of God)

Deuteronomy 4:2
"You must not add anything to what I command you or take anything away from it, so that you may keep the commands of the LORD your God I am giving you."
This is what I have been trying to show you!

Exo 20:8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.


This is the rest in the Greek in Heb 4:9.

sabbatismos: Sabbath rest
Original Word: σαββατισμός
Part of Speech: Noun, Masculine
Transliteration: sabbatismos
Pronunciation: sab-bat-is-mos'
Phonetic Spelling: (sab-bat-is-mos')
Definition: Sabbath rest
Meaning:
a keeping of the Sabbath, a Sabbath rest.

We cannot edit God's commandments because there is no greater authority than God. Exo 31:18 So no other interpretation can mean anything different, and it doesn't if we carefully and prayerfully study the passages.

Then, there is left a Sabbath keeping to the people of God.

Why does it appear that there is left, meaning, there has yet to arrive, a sabbath keeping to the people of God.

When exactly does this sabbath rest come?

Left, remains for God's people seems self-explanatory
Heb 4:9 There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God;

Its like this
Rev 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Remnant means a small remainder of the original- which keep the commandments of God- His version, not what man edited we were warned about Dan 7:25 Mat 15:3-14
When exactly does this sabbath rest come?
Lets let Scripture interpret Scripture

Luke 23:56 Then they returned and prepared spices and fragrant oils. And they rested on the Sabbath according to the commandment.

The Sabbath rest is according to the Sabbath commandment, that God gave, both written and spoken, why the Sabbath rest or keeping of the Sabbath as translated in the Greek remains for God's people. God's people keep God's commandments, Rev 14:12 His version, because He is God and there is no greater than He to edit anything God personally spoke and personally wrote, His personal testimony Exo 31:18

We shouldn't try to make Scripture work against what it tells us not to Deut 4:2 Psa 89:34 Mat 5:18-19

We seem to be going to circles, so unless something new is presented I will let the Scriptures I posted stand and ok leaving it with agree to disagree. Be well.

The passage we are talking about is clearly eschatological in nature.

The Sabbath continues for the saints in the New Heaven and New Earth from one Sabbath to another to come before the Lord to worship Him. Isa 66:23 Sin separated us from God Isa 59:2, but the keeping of the Sabbath remains for God's people, because no relationship can survive without spending quality time with each other and God is no different.. So God in His wisdom from Creation, rested on the seventh day, blessed and sanctified the Sabbath, made for man Mark 2:27 so we can spend quality time with God resting from all our works and labors Exo 20:9 so He can bless Isa 56:2 and sanctify us Eze 20:12 because man can't do that themselves, Isa 66:17 we need God.

If we object to keeping the Sabbath now, I doubt one will suddenly want to keep it in the New Earth and New Heaven. God would never force one to do something for eternity they object to so much, which is why I believe His judgment is one of love.

Your entire theology, from the beginning to the end, has to do with the Sabbath. This is a perverted view of the Bible that God does not intend. In the NHNE, there will be no night, so there will be no different days. Day and night are for this universe, this earth, not the NHNE. To say you have an incorrect theology would not be enough force to say how wrong you are. I don't want to be rude, but if this is what you believe, I kinda want to block you. This is so far detached from the purpose of God's word that it borders on fantasy religion.

Thats actually not true, but in the context of the Scriptures we have been discussing its been about the Sabbath

The Sabbath brings us back to worship our Creator. There are many gods of this world but only one God of Creation, which keeping the Sabbath is a memorial to the God of Creation Exo 20:8-11, so we never forget Who created and us and where we came from. A sign between God and His people Eze 20:20 and a sign of His re-creation Eze 20:12

Exo 20:11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

Rev 14: 7 saying with a loud voice, “Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.”

Why the Sabbath started from the beginning Exo 20:11 Gen 2:1-3 and continues for eternity Isa 66:23 and is a commandment of God all thus saith the Lords

Your objection to God's Sabbath is something you will have to take up with Him. Once He comes through all decisions are sealed Rev 22:11. Whoever we obey is who we serve Rom 6:16, we can obey God on His authority and keep the Sabbath day holy, or we can follow the traditions of man Jesus warned us about over obeying God's commandments Mat 15:3-14 these decisions determine which path we end up on. Rev 22:14-15 No wonder why we are told to come out of our false teachings before its too late Rev 18:4. The whole Bible is about the testimony of Jesus Christ, yet when it comes to God's own Testimony, both personally spoken and written by God Exo 31:18 not many believe 2 Timothy 4:3

Here is another one:

Every priest stands daily at his service, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, waiting from that time until his enemies should be made a footstool for his feet. For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.
Hebrews 10

That's one I refer to a lot. That's the Gospel

A couple verses later:
Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.

It is finished
Here is another one. I don't know the chapter, I think it's around Chapter 10 too.

"Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins"
