text: what does this bible vs mean hebrews 4:3 and compare it to vs9? when it says "rest" what does rest mean does it mean heaven, rest for my soul, or a worship rest  hebrews 4:3 we who have put our trust in god go into his rest. god said this of our early fathers, "i was angry and said, 'they will not go into my rest. and yet god's work was finished after he made the world.   hebrews 4:9-10 9 there remains, then, a sabbath-rest for the people of god; 10 for anyone who enters god's rest also rests from his own  work, just as god did from his. i think it means "being done with your work", so heaven. since god's rest came when his work was done, so we will too. the sabbath is just a way to observe god's day of rest until we go through it in heaven. i think.... so god bless you and i hope this will help.
