Saturday, August 24 Israel continued to serve Jehovah all the days of Joshua and all the days of the older men who extended their days after Joshua.ā€”Josh. 24:31. That obedient generation gradually died out and was replaced by a generation that ā€œdid not know Jehovah or the work that he had done for Israel.ā€ Consequently, ā€œthe sons of Israel fell to doing what was bad in the eyes of Jehovah and serving the Baals.ā€ (Judg. 2:10, 11) The Promised Land did not prove to be a real ā€œplace of restā€ for them. Because of their disobedience, they did not enjoy lasting peace with God. In speaking of a later time, Paul wrote: ā€œIf Joshua had led [the Israelites] into a place of rest, God would not afterward have spoken of another day. So there remains a sabbath resting for the people of God.ā€ (Heb. 4:8, 9) ā€œThe people of Godā€ Paul was referring to were Christians. Does that mean that Christians could enter into Godā€™s rest? Most assuredlyā€”both Jewish and non-Jewish Christians! w11 7/15 3:11, 12 jw.org
