Hebrews 4:7 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David: this is a further proof, that David did not mean or intend the rest of the Jews in Canaan, in the Psalms 95:1-11, from the determined time of it; as if the Spirit had said: Besides what I have proved, take another argument; Again I argue. God by the prophet setteth out, and severeth from all other time, a certain stated day, from which the rest spoken of is cleared, and of it testifieth by him, Psalms 95:7,8. To-day, after so long a time; after four hundred years past of Israel's rest in Canaan, which was a long time, doth David say of to-day, a time present, then and further to be extended, even the gospel day, in David's time, and after it; not in Joshua s, for that was past long before. As it is said, To-day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts; ye ought to-day to hear, receive, and believe the gospel of God's rest, and not by unbelief to turn your hearts from the voice of God in the gospel.
