What word is used for rest in Heb 4:3

Look up in Strong's which word is used:

a resting place

a) metaph. the heavenly blessedness in which God dwells, and of which he has promised to make persevering believers in Christ partakers after the toils and trials of life on earth are ended

This is not the same rest of Genesis 2:2

to cease, desist, rest

a) (Qal)

1) to cease

2) to rest, desist (from labour)


God ceased creating.

It is a 6 part series, all one sermon. Check it out, then post here your assessment or his exegesis.
