God ended His work of creation in six days; then God rested on the Seventh day. One thing worth noticing here is that the rest mentioned is Gods rest, not mans. The Bible declares that this is Gods Sabbath. God had worked for six days, and now He rested. What kind of a Sabbath was this which God blessed and Sanctified? What kind of Rest did God enter into? This rest (Genesis 2:2-3) was not physical, because God is never tired. He fainteth not, neither is weary (Isaiah 40:28). What then, is the meaning of His rest? It is not physical but spiritual in nature. It signifies Gods satisfaction with His creation. All who study the Scriptures carefully should understand the meaning of Gods rest. With regards to this subject, we should notice that God concluded the first six days of creation with the words, And the evening and the morning were the first, second, etc...day, but, on this day - on Gods Sabbath day there was neither evening nor morning. This day is perfect, complete and glorious. It is an endless day.
