4 - For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day in this way, “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.” 5 And again in this passage he said “They shall not enter my rest.” 6 Since therefore it remains for some to enter, and those who formerly received the good news failed to enter because of disobedience {not following the instructions} 7 again he appoints a certain day, “Today,” saying through David so long later, in the words already quoted, “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.” {Don’t LET our heart be hardened. The face of the wolf (in sheep’s clothing no less!) is accusation. Of our self. Of others. Of that other group over there.. The us and them attitude. But especially the accusations about God. Remember his voice has to speak to all, not just the best among us. But also the worst. Surely pre-flood was hands off. Imperfection/entropy is an abyss oF potential.. And how did Jesus preach to those who were waiting and ridiculing while the ark was being built? 1 Pet.3:19-20 -> 2Pet.2:5, imo.}

    {Jesus said - “All those - in the tombs/graves - will hear God’s voice and will come forth (from where? Clue - they’re in graves/tombs.) Some rising into the resurrection of life (into THE millennium, to serve called reigning.. for to do His works is surely to reign.. crown of Life, after all, not metal). And some rise in the resurrection into GWT judgment” ‘day’ (Jn.5:28-29) which elsewhere He calls agelasting correction “kolasin aionion” (oR “korrection eonian”) Mt.25:46. The crucible being life as we presently know it - this unavoidable, all important contrast - untiL vivification at 1Cor.15:52,53 or Rev.21:5, 1Cor.15:24-28. All in the kingdom of heaven shall have character that is clear as crystal. Humanity and creation sealed. “The lion will eat straw like the ox, the bear will graze with the cow..” Is.11:7}
