Hebrews 4
1. We should be in such submission then, lest not, as there arises the
moment to enter His Haven of Peace, that there may be found a human being
among you who fails to enter.
2. For we also anticipated the Hope [of the Kingdom,] like them, except the
Manifestation had no affect on those who heard it, because they did not
adhere to the faith of those who obeyed.
3. Then we shall enter into the Haven of Peace, those of us who believe .
Whereas He said,
"As I swore in my anger that they will not enter in to my
haven,"
for, behold, the acts of God were from the beginning of the universe.
4. As He said regarding the Sabbath,
"God rested from all His labors on the seventh day."
5. And, therefore, He said again that they will not enter into my haven of
rest.
6. Because of that there was a certain type of people* that did enter, and
those who had the hope in the first place did not enter until they adhered
also,
7. Then again He consecrated another Day after many a season, whence whoever
entered, David said regarding them,
"If you obey His voice everyday,
Your hearts will not become hardened."
8. For if then Eashoa were to give them rest after He had called it, He would
not have said that there would be another Day.
9. Therefore, He rose to be the Sabbath for the nation of God.
10. For if He had entered into His haven of rest, He would have also rested
from His works, just as God did from His.
11. Strive then to enter in such a way into that haven, so as not to fail
like those that did not adhere.
12. For the Manifestation of God is alive and Supreme over all, and sharper
than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the point of differentiating
between the soul and the Spirit, joints, brain and bone, and He judges the
intentions of the heart and conscience.
13. And there is no creature that lies hidden before Him, except everything
lies naked and exposed before His eyes; to Him we must all answer.
14. Because we have such a King Priest as Lord and Master, Eashoa the Messiah,
the
Son of God, who rose to heaven, that we are leavened through His
Celebration.
15. For we have not such a King Priest who is unable to empathize* with our
afflictions, except one Who was tested by everything, like us, that He was
able to conquer sin.
16. Let us, therefore, approach His throne of Grace with open eyes and
receive mercy and find grace to aid us in the season of tribulation.
