God has fulfilled his promise. Israel has entered the Promised Land, and God gave them rest (Joshua 22:4). But because of their sins they often had no rest but were attacked and oppressed by enemies (Judges 2:10–15). God liberated them from enemies by David and gave them rest (2 Samuel 7:1). But due to their sins they went into the Babylonian exile: a new slavery. The ultimate rest—not in the Promised Land but on the new earth—will come by Jesus, the great Son of David. That rest is still waiting for us. That is God’s message (gospel) for us (Hebrews 4:2). We enter that rest only through faith in Jesus (Hebrews 4:14), who is greater than Moses (Hebrews 3:3).
8 Je suis descendu pour le délivrer de la main des Egyptiens, et pour le faire monter de ce pays dans un bon et vaste pays, dans un pays où coulent le lait et le miel, dans les lieux qu'habitent les Cananéens, les Héthiens, les Amoréens, les Phéréziens, les Héviens et les Jébusiens.
