A Special 'Sabbath-Rest'
Commentators highlight that the author uses a unique Greek word, 'sabbatismos', not found elsewhere in the New Testament. This isn't just any rest, but a 'Sabbath-keeping' rest. It signifies a deeper, more spiritual reality than the weekly Sabbath or the rest in Canaan, pointing to a complete rest in God Himself.
