Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
| in this place--In this passage of the Psalm again, it is implied that the rest was even then still future. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
And in this place again - Psa 95:11.
If they shall enter - That is, they shall not enter; see the notes at Heb 3:11. The object of quoting this here seems to be two-fold:
(1) To show that even in this Psalm God spoke of "his" rest, and said that they should not enter into it; and,
(2) it is connected with Heb 4:6, and is designed to show that it was implied that a rest yet remained. "That which deserves to be called "the divine rest" is spoken of in the Scriptures, and as "they" did not enter into it, it follows that it must be in reserve for some others, and that the promise must still remain." |
| Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886] |
In this place (ἐν τούτῳ)
The passage already cited, Heb 4:3. It is cited again to show that the rest was not entered into. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| In this psalm, of a rest yet to come. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| And in this place again - In the ninety-fifth Psalm, already quoted, Psa 95:3. This was a second rest which the Lord promised to the believing, obedient seed of Abraham; and as it was spoken of in the days of David, when the Jews actually possessed this long promised Canaan, therefore it is evident that that was not the rest which God intended, as the next verse shows. |
6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
11 Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.
3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
3 For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.
