There is only one day im concerned with, which is "today"

Hebrews 4:7 God again set a certain day, calling it “Today.” This he did when a long time later he spoke through David, as in the passage already quoted:

“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts.”[d]

And the one that chooses to listen to God "today" will see God saying this

"Love Me and KEEP My Commandments" Ex 20:6
"if you Love Me KEEP My Commandments" John 14:15
"this IS the Love of God that we KEEP His Commandments" 1 John 3:4
"Honor your father and mother...is the first commandment with a promise" Eph 6:2
"Keep the Commandments" and then Jesus is asked "Which ones"...then He quotes from the TEN Matt 19

Hebrews 4 is Gods commandment, as far as im concerned. It speaks of the real sabbath rest, i.e. "today"

for all eternity after the cross God said mankind would be keeping Sabbath in the New Earth "from SABBATH to Sabbath shall ALL Mankind come before Me to worship" - Isaiah 66:23

Is it your opinion that Isaiah is referencing Hebrews 4???

Acts 18:4 "EVERY Sabbath" both gentiles and Jews met in the Synagogue to hear Gospel preaching from Paul - and even after they hear "and believe and are baptized" - the statement of Acts 18:4 remains "every Sabbath" they met to hear Gospel preaching in the Synagogue. Were the Jews and gentiles of Acts 18:4 gathering on some unknown Hebrews 4 day?

Such that even in Acts 15 part of the "solution" to that crisis faced by the NT early church was that the scriptures were being heard by the saints "every Sabbath in the Synagogues".

Is it your opinion that all these references to Sabbath in the NT - are a reference to Hebrews 4??

BTW - Hebrews 4 says the Sabbath remains unchanged from its form in Psalms 95 in the days of David - from then until this very day the Sabbath "remains" as it was.

Do you know where Paul is quoting from in Hebrews 4? I do, and it's a lot more than Genesis and Psalms 95.

Hebrews 4:4 KJB - For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.

Hebrews 4:5 KJB - And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.​

How did God, give the exmple for men in Genesis? How many days did He "work" and on which specific day did God, "rest"?

Now, why didn't some enter into it? See vs 6. Will mankind repent and believe and thus "enter into" God's "rest", "the seventh day"?

Hebrews 4:7 KJB - Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
Or, will 'Israel' today, like 'Israel' of old, "harden" their "hearts" and refuse God's commandment and example? It is "to day", and that "to day" is the day of grace. Soon that "to day" of grace will close. All those still found not in repentant obedience to God, will perish. Make the decision then "to day", and "harden not your heart", and obey God in His commandment [Exodus 20:8-11 KJB], which is the demonstration of faith and love, that Jesus has delivered from sin [1 John 3:4 KJB].

I have many more pages on this ...
Did you miss the part of Hebrews 4 where is refers to another day i.e "today"?

You are missing the point of Hebrews 4. It speaks of another day, i.e today. Thats not the seventh day bro.

No, I expressly addressed it in my response. They [past] had a 'day' of grace back then to repent and believe and obey God. They refused, did not believe and did not keep God's commandment. Thus, they [past] did not enter in. A[nother] 'day' of grace is open for us [now, present]. Do not refuse to believe as they, do not refuse to repent as they, and do not refuse to keep God's commandment as they, and rest the 7th Day as God did, otherwise like they, those also shall not enter in.

But in addition it says that the Sabbath rest of Psalms 95 in the day of David "REMAINS" for the people of God today.

So now -- just how much "creative divergence" do you think they had for their seventh day Sabbath in David's day???

@LoveGodsWord

You are saying this scripture refers to saturday?

Hebrews 4:6 Therefore since it still remains for some to enter that rest, and since those who formerly had the good news proclaimed to them did not go in because of their disobedience, 7 God again set a certain day, calling it “Today.” This he did when a long time later he spoke through David, as in the passage already quoted:

“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts.”[d]

8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. 9 There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; 10 for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works,[e] just as God did from his. 11 Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.

Few people understand it.
I don't think you are referring to any Scripture that is pointing to one day of the week, nor a weekday;
rather "TODAY" IF His Voice you will hear, stop hardening your heart.

After someone stops hardening their heart, Yahweh reveals everything about Salvation in this life and concerning the life to come to them.
They hear the Shepherd's Voice (they hear Jesus). (DAILY, and follow Him).

A true miracle as described throughout the NT, and realized by few people, yet by everyone of the elect whom Jesus is referring to.

Why not? The Sabbath is all through HEBREWS 4...

HEBREWS 4:3, For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

HEBREWS 4:4, For he spoke in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.

Key points...

1. v3 GOD'S REST from the FOUNDATION of the WORLD
2. v4 For he spoke in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.

Both scriptures are a direct reference from GENESIS 2:1-3..

GENESIS 2:1-3
1, Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2, And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3, And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

Key points...

1. v1 GOD'S REST from the FOUNDATION of the WORLD; the end of CREATRION
2. v2-3 speaking of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
3. v3 God BLESSED, SET APART and MADE HOLY the SEVENTH DAY of the week


links to...

EXODUS 20:8-11
[8], Remember the SABBATH DAY, to KEEP IT HOLY. <Why?> Because God made it Holy for mankind and commands us to keep it as a Holy day; GENESIS 2:3)
[9], Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work:
[10], But the SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: <WHY ? KEY v 11>
[11], For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, AND RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY: wherefore the LORD BLESSED THE SABBATH, AND MADE IT HOLY. <DIRECT QUOTE FROM GENESIS 2:1-3>

Key points...

1. v8 God's 4th Commandments says we are to REMEMBER the SABBATH DAY to KEEP it HOLY
2. v10 THE SEVENTH DAY of the week is the SABBATH DAY (Genesis 2:1-3) and NO WORK is to be DONE rest only because it is a HOLY DAY
3. v11 WHY? REFERENCE back to GENESIS 2:1-3 and God's REST at the END of CREATION on the SEVENTH DAY of the week that God BLESSED and MADE a HOLY DAY.

...................


CONCLUSIONS: HEBREWS 4:3-4 is a direct REFENENCE to the ORIGIN of God's REST and the ORIGIN of the SABBATH from the end of creation on the SEVENTH DAY and God's 4th Commandment (Exodus 20:8-11)

...................

Moving on in HEBREWS 4...

HEBREWS 4:9
[9], There remains a SABBATH REST <REST G4521 Sabatismos; a keeping of a SABBATH> to the people of God.

The GREEK word for REST in HEBREWS 4:9 is "Sabatismos" the GREEK meaning G4520 σαββατισμός sabbatismos (sab-ba-tiz-mos') n. 1. a “sabbatism.” 2. (figuratively) the repose of Christianity (as a type of heaven) from a derivative of G4521 σάββατον sabbaton (saɓ'-ɓa-ton) n. 1. the Sabbath (i.e. Shabbath). 2. a day of weekly repose from secular avocations. 3. the observance or institution itself. 4. (by extension) a week, i.e. the interval between two Sabbaths. 5. likewise the plural in all the above applications. [of Hebrew origin (H7676)] שַׁבָּת shabbath (shab-bawth') n-e. 1. intermission, a period of temporary rest. 2. (specifically) the Sabbath, the seventh day being the day of rest.

The purpose for sharing these words was to show that the ORIGIN of God's 4th Commandment (like the scripture posts in the above section of this post all these word meaning have their ORIGIN from GENESIS 2:1-3 AND THE HEBREW ROOT WORD IN REST (H7673) which is SHABATH (verb) which means; to repose, i.e. to cease from exertion.{used in many implied relations (causative, figurative or specific)}[a primitive root]KJV: (cause to, let, make to) cease, celebrate, cause (make) to fail, KEEP SABBATH, suffer to be lacking, leave, put away (down), (make to) rest, rid, still, take away.

On the other hand the HEBREW WORD for Sabbath in EXODUS 20:8-11 means the interval (noun) between SHABATH (interval of REST) or from one SABBATH to another (EVERY SEVENTH DAY)
GENESIS 2:1-3 connects directly to God's 4th COMMANDMENT from EXODUS 20:8-11 as shown above.

Not only do the scripture ORIGINS trace back to GENESIS 2:1-3 and the creation week for God's 4th Commandment Sabbath so do the GREEK and HEBREW word meanings show the ORIGIN of SABBATH is the REST found in GENESIS 2.

Now if we look at the literal GREEK from the Interlinear of HEBREWS 4:9 it read ....

First thoughts, "not really", since you seem to focus on one day of the week,
instead of "stop hardening your heart".

Which do you think is most important ?

Only God's WORD is true and important and we should believe and follow it over the teaching and traditions of men that break the commandments of God.

................

SIN is the breaking of God's Commandments (James 2:9-11; Romans 7:7; 1 John 3:4)

Those who CONTINUE in UNREPENTANT SIN will NOT enter into the KINGDOM of HEAVEN.

................

God's 4th commandment is one of the ten (Exodus 20:8-11) If we knowingly break it when God asks us not to we stand guilty before God of committing sin (James 2:8-12). If we do not seek him in repentance and forgiveness we are in danger of the Judgement (Hebrews 10:26-27)

Sunday worship is a tradition and teaching of man that has led many to break the commandments of God. Jesus says that if we follow the traditions of man that break the commandments of God we are not following God (Matthew 15:3-9)

There is not one scripture in all of God's Word that says that God's 4th Commandment is now ABOLISHED and we are now commanded to KEEP Sunday as a Holy day.

Who should we follow the teachings and traditions of men or the Word of God? Who should we believe the Words of men or the Word of God?

Good question W2L,

They had no rest because of their UNBELIEF in God's WORD and sinning against God.

HEBREWS 3:8, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

HEBREWS 3:9, When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.

HEBREWS 3:10, Why I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do always err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.

HEBREWS 3:11, So I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)

HEBREWS 3:12, Take heed, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

HEBREWS 3:13, But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

HEBREWS 3:14, For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end;

HEBREWS 3:15, While it is said, To day if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

HEBREWS 3:16, For some, when they had heard, did provoke: however, not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

HEBREWS 3:17, But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?

HEBREWS 3:18, And to whom swore he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?

HEBREWS 3:19, So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

Hope this helps..

Good question W2L,

They had no rest because of their UNBELIEF in God's WORD and sinning against God.

HEBREWS 3:8, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

HEBREWS 3:9, When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.

HEBREWS 3:10, Why I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do always err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.

HEBREWS 3:11, So I swore in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)

HEBREWS 3:12, Take heed, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

HEBREWS 3:13, But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

HEBREWS 3:14, For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end;

HEBREWS 3:15, While it is said, To day if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

HEBREWS 3:16, For some, when they had heard, did provoke: however, not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

HEBREWS 3:17, But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?

HEBREWS 3:18, And to whom swore he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?

HEBREWS 3:19, So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

Hope this helps..
So why did God need to speak of another day? Why wasnt the already established saturday sabbath not enough? And why was that other day called "today"?

You posted a reply with more than needed and more than requested,
without apparently answering the simple question I posted.

Your post was answered with the WORD of GOD.

Those who break ANY of GOD's Commandments will NOT ENTER into the KINGDOM of HEAVEN or God's REST. ALL who CONTINUE in KNOWN UNREPENTANT will NOT ENTER the KINGDOM of HEAVEN because they have not accepter the GIFT of God's dear.

Not at all.
You did not in any way answer the question.
I'll quote it once more to keep it simple:
First thoughts, "not really", since you seem to focus on one day of the week,
instead of "stop hardening your heart".

Which do you think is most important ?
Which is most important (for everyone,btw; not just for you)
- focusing on one day of the week,
OR stop hardening your heart ?
