Rest refers to:—Hebrews 4:9, "there remaineth a keeping of sabbath (sabbatismos ) to the people of God." God's rest ("My rest" Hebrews 4:3) was a sabbatism, so will ours be; a home for the exile, a mansion for the pilgrim, a sabbath for the workman weary of the world's weekday toil. In time there are many sabbaths, then there shall be one perfect and eternal. The "rest" in Hebrews 4:8 is katapausis; Hebrew noach , "rest from weariness": as the ark rested on Ararat after its tossings; as Israel, under Joshua, rested from war in Canaan.
Αnesis (2 Thessalonians 1:7), "relaxation from afflictions". Αnapausis , "rest," given by Jesus now (Matthew 11:28); but the "rest" in Hebrews 4:9 is the nobler "sabbath rest"; katapausis , literally, "cessation from work finished" (Hebrews 4:4) as God rested from His (Revelation 14:13; Revelation 16:17). The two ideas combined give the perfect view of the heavenly sabbath: rest from weariness, sorrow, and sin; and rest in the completion of God's new creation (Revelation 21:5). The renovated creation shall share in it. Nothing will there be to break the sabbath of eternity. The Triune God shall rejoice in the work of His hands (Zephaniah 3:17). The Jews call the future rest "the day which is all sabbath."
Source: archive.org: Hastings' Dictionary of the BibleRest refers to:—The conception of rest as a gift of God runs through the Bible, the underlying idea being not idleness, but the freedom from anxiety which is the condition of effective work. It is promised to Israel in Canaan ( Exodus 33:14 , Deuteronomy 3:20 ), and Zion is the resting-place of J″ [Note: Jahweh.] ( Psalms 132:8; Psalms 132:14 ), the Temple being built by ‘a man of rest’ ( 1 Chronicles 22:9; a contrast is implied with the desert wanderings in Numbers 10:33-36 ). At the same time no earthly temple can be the real resting-place of J″ [Note: Jahweh.] ( Isaiah 66:1 , Acts 7:49 ). The rest of the Sabbath and the Sabbatical year are connected with the rest of God after creation ( Genesis 2:2 , Exodus 20:11 , Leviticus 25:4; see art. Sabbath). The individual desires rest, as did the nation ( Psalms 55:8 ); it is not to be found in ignoble ease ( Genesis 49:15 Issachar), but in the ways of God ( Psalms 37:7 , Jeremiah 6:10 ); it is the gift of Christ ( Matthew 11:28 ). Sinners fail to find it ( Isaiah 28:12; Isaiah 57:20 ), as Israel failed ( Psalms 95:11 ). Hebrews 4:1-16 develops the meaning of this failure, and points to the ‘sabbath rest’ still to come. This heavenly rest includes not only freedom from labour, as in OT ( Job 3:13; Job 3:17 [in Psalms 16:9 , see RV [Note: Revised Version.
