<p>4:3- see on 2 Cor. 4:6.</p><p><i>For we who have believed do enter into that rest, even as He has said: As I swore in my anger: They shall not enter into My rest- </i>The emphasis is upon the word &quot;They&quot;. Because some would not enter the rest, the implication is that some would. This is a parade example of a cup half full rather than half empty attitude. It is typical of Paul's positivism, which should be seen in our thinking too. We &quot;do enter&quot; in the sense that we shall enter if we believe; a&nbsp;futuristic present middle indicative.</p><p><i>Although the works were finished from the foundation of the world</i>- The Kingdom has been prepared for us &quot;from the foundation of the world&quot; and we are to &quot;enter&quot; it as they were to enter the &quot;rest&quot; of Canaan (Mt. 25:34). So the tragedy was and is that those who have heard the word of promise of the Kingdom and who do not believe it... are missing out on a possible future that was carefully prepared for them from the beginning. It was not a question of doing enough works- all the necessary works had been done, the Kingdom prepared. They 'just' didn't believe it, didn't want it. To disbelieve in salvation is to spurn what was finished and totally prepared for us from the beginning.</p>
