Hebrews 4:1-2
4 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest (a place of rest, implies a final rest day), any of you should seem to come short (have failed) of it.
2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed (blended, united) with faith (believing) in them that heard it.
Hebrews 4:9-12
9 There remaineth therefore a rest (rest day) to the people of God.
10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased (rested) from his own works, as God did from his (own).
11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after (resting within) the same example of unbelief.
12 For (For in fact also) the word (spoken word) of God is quick (living), and powerful (strength and effectual in operation), and sharper (more cutting) than (above) any twoedged sword, piercing (passing through) even to the dividing asunder (the act of dividing) of soul and spirit (differentiating between that which is begotten of the flesh and that which is begotten of the spirit in the individual. In addition, it differentiates between the natural and spiritual), and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner (skilled in judging) of the thoughts (secret motives and emotional revolving of the mind) and intents (what is in the mind, idea) of the heart (the seat of one's distinctive character).
13 Neither is there any creature (created thing) that is not manifest (made visible) in his sight (before his eyes): but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do (is our account).
