God’s Rest on the Seventh Day
God’s rest on the seventh day is not a cessation from fatigue—God speaks and it is done—but signifies the rest of those who abide in Him. It prefigures the eternal Sabbath promised to the saints, a rest without evening. The number six is perfect (the sum of its aliquot parts: 1, 2, 3), signifying the perfection of the works. The number seven, often used for completeness in Scripture, signifies the Holy Spirit and the rest of God.
