Commentary on Hebrews 4:8
If Joshua had given them rest, God wouldn't speak of another day later. The Greek name Iēsous (Jesus/Joshua) creates wordplay - Joshua couldn't give ultimate rest, but Jesus does. This demonstrates the typological principle: OT persons and events foreshadow Christ who fulfills them. Reformed theology emphasizes Christ as the substance to which OT shadows pointed (Colossians 2:17).
