And like a mantle You will roll them up; Like a garment they will also be changed. But You are the same, And Your years will not come to an end.”

Are they not all ministering spirits, sent to render service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?

Jesus, the Author of Salvation

For He did not subject to angels the world to come, concerning which we are speaking.

You have put all things in subjection under his feet.” For in subjecting all things to him, He left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we do not yet see all things subjected to him.

For both He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of One; for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brothers,

and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives.

For assuredly He does not give help to angels, but He gives help to the seed of Abraham.

Do not harden your hearts as when they provoked Me, As in the day of trial in the wilderness,

Therefore I was angry with this generation, And said, ‘They always go astray in their heart, And they did not know My ways’;

As I swore in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter My rest.’”

Warning Against Unbelief

See to it brothers, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God.

while it is said, “Today if you hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts, as when they provoked Me.”

For who provoked Him when they had heard? Indeed, did not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses?

And with whom was He angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness?

And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who were disobedient?

So we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief.

The Believer’s Rest

Therefore, let us fear, lest, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you may seem to have fallen short of it.

For indeed we have had good news proclaimed to us, just as they also; but the word that was heard did not profit those who were not united with faith among those who heard.

For we who have believed enter that rest, just as He has said, “As I swore in My wrath, They shall not enter My rest,” although His works were finished from the foundation of the world.

and again in this passage, “They shall not enter My rest.”

He again determines a certain day, “Today,” saying through David after so long a time just as has been said before, “Today if you hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts.”

For if Joshua had given them rest, He would not have spoken of another day after that.

For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things like we are, yet without sin.

In this way also Christ did not glorify Himself to become a high priest, but He who said to Him, “You are My Son, Today I have begotten You”;

For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food.
