Resting in Gods’ Rest

For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. (Hebrews 4: 10)

After the creation of the world, the bible says that God rested from all his works. Did God not know that Satan was in the world? Was He unaware that Satan would beguile Eve and consequently cause Adam to fall and plunge the whole world into spiritual darkness? Did God not know that under the curse of sin every imagination of the thoughts of mans heart would only be evil continually? Was God not aware that mans sin would bring a flood of water in judgment to destroy all but a handful of men? Did the eternal God not understand that even after the flood that evil man would wax worse and worse upon the earth? Did the all seeing and all knowing God not take into account that His own people would reject him and the promised redeemer and hang his son on a cross? Did the eternal living God not see evil man, even after the death and resurrection of Christ, despising his gospel turning their backs to the truth and doing despite to the spirit of grace?

Of course, God saw these things “All things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do (Hebrews 4: 3). “He declares the end from the beginning and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, my counsel shall stand and I will do all my pleasure (Isaiah 46: 10). But if God knew these things, and it is apparent that he did, how then could he rest? How could he rest knowing the utter chaos and corruption that lay ahead? In Ephesians 1: 9 we are told that God has made known unto us the mystery of his will. The mystery of his will is his eternal purpose: What God has done, is doing, and yet intends to do. “That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth; even in him: In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: That (in order that) we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ” (Ephesians 1: 9-12).

God rested because he trusted all things into the hands of his beloved Son. And then immediately he tells us that so shall we after we hear this glorious word of truth and gospel of our salvation.
