“The provocation.” God swears “They shall not enter into my rest Psalm 95.
N.B.—This was said long after "God had rested the seventh, day from all 'Ms' works," showing that man had not entered with Him into His rest—that he had no participation with Him in that rest which the Sabbath prefigured.
THE DAY OF ISRAEL'S ENTERING THE LAND WITH JOSHUA.

“my rest” TYPICALLY.
The day of David’s warning the people.
(after so long a time)
“To-Day, if ye will hear my voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.”
“ANOTHER DAY”
Contrasted with the above day of Israel’s entering the land.
N.B.—This was said long after Joshua had brought Israel into the land, showing that HE had not given them, rest.
NOW.
Paul's word to us.
N.B.—Paul's repetition to us of the above word of David's to the Jews, shows that we have not entered into our rest—that there yet 'remaineth a rest to the people of God.
GOD'S REST,
FINAL AND PERFECT.
