Hebrews 4:9\u201310, Rest.<\/i><\/b>\u00a0The Greek word\u00a0sabbatismos<\/i>\u00a0means \u201ca keeping of the Sabbath\u201d and is derived from the Hebrew word sabbaton<\/i> meaning \u201cthe seventh day or Sabbath. It is \u00a0derived from the Hebrew word\u00a0shabbat <\/i>meaning \u201csabbath,” which originates from the root word\u00a0shabat<\/i> meaning \u201cto cease, desist, rest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those who have entered into the Sabbath rest do so by following the example of YHVH the Creator who not only rested spiritually, but literally rested on the seventh day after the creation. He set this as an example for man to follow.<\/p>\n

Some people see this verse in Hebrews only as a mandate to rest from their\u00a0spiritual works by putting their\u00a0faith in Yeshua. This is only partial rest. We must follow the example of YHVH who literally rested on the seventh day as well. Yeshua was YHVH the Creator (Heb 1:10; John 1:3, 10). He kept the Sabbath as YHVH the Creator, and as Yeshua the Messiah.<\/p>\n

When we rest both physically and spiritually, we’re walking out a higher level of truth, and as such, we’ve positioned ourselves before YHVH to receive more divine revelation from him. In other words, the more we obey him faithfully in love, the more truth he can entrust us with\u00a0for safekeeping, for he knows we won’t take for granted or trample his precious truth nuggets. To those who are faithful in much, YHVH gives more. That’s how it works in his spiritual economy.<\/p>\n

You see, the Jews keep the physical Sabbath, but have missed the revelation of spiritual rest in Yeshua, while the mainstream Christians have rejected the physical Sabbath rest but accepted the spiritual rest in the Messiah. Both sides have half the truth. Let’s put the two halves together and walk out the full truth! This is another way of connecting the gospel message to its Hebraic, pro-Torah roots.<\/p>\n
