So I swore in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter My rest.’ However, instead of saying “They shall not enter My promised land”, God called the promised land “My rest”. Enter God’s Restĭo you want to know God’s definition of His rest? Hebrews 3 describes how the children of Israel were not allowed to enter the promised land because they doubted God’s Word. So with each passing day, we have all things, including the defeated enemies of disease, poverty, depression and all kinds of curses, being put under our feet. God is telling us to have the same throne attitude as Jesus-to rest, while He makes our enemies our footstool. And who is the one who makes the enemies our footstool? It is not us, but God Himself! God’s Word is the truth and He keeps His Word. …He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand…And God placed all things under His feet and appointed Him to be head over everything for the church, which is His body… ![]() Likewise, Jesus’ conquered enemies are being dragged to Him one by one, and put under His feet. In biblical times, defeated enemies were brought back in chains and the victorious king would sit on his throne and put his feet up on the backs of his defeated enemies as a sign of victory. And the Father said, “Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” So Jesus’ throne attitude is to sit and expect His Father to bring all His defeated enemies under His feet. Therefore, the first verse actually reads, “Yahweh said to my Adonai…” After Jesus conquered sin and death, and rose from the dead, He returned to the Father. In Hebrew, the first “LORD” refers to Jehovah, or Yahweh, and the second “Lord” is Adonai. ![]() ![]() The LORD said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” The LORD shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion.
