The essence of the facts, page-642

The scriptures Clearly say -> He rested from his works and was refreshed.

Wotsup, I don't claim to have an understanding of Hebrew. Do you?
However, your right! All translations of the Bible teach God rested on the 7th day . He had been working on the 6 previous days so if asked 'When did his rest begin' the answer would logically be 'On the 7th day'. If asked 'When did it end'? that would be trickier to find agreement on. To find the answer you would have to first answer the question 'Rested from what?' It can't be rested from all work because that conflicts with what Jesus tells us.
(John 5:17) But he answered them: “My Father has kept working until now, and I keep working.”

So when we read that Jehovah created something different on each of the 6 days and then rested on the 7th and yet ''has kept working until now'', it can only mean he has rested or desisted from creating anything new since the 6th day was completed.

Nowhere in the Scriptures can there be found anything to say Jehovah's rest has ended. Thousands of years after his rest began we read:
(Psalm 95:7-11) For he is our God, And we are the people of his pasture, The sheep in his care. Today if you listen to his voice,  Do not harden your heart as at Merʹi·bah, As in the day of Masʹsah in the wilderness,  When your forefathers tested me; They challenged me, though they had seen my works.  For 40 years I felt a loathing toward that generation, and I said: “They are a people who always go astray in their hearts; They have not come to know my ways.”  So I swore in my anger: “They will not enter into my rest.”

Around another 1,000 years later Paul quoted from the Genesis account plus this passage of Scripture urging Christians of his day to not harden their hearts as the Jews had.
(Hebrews 4:4, 5) For in one place he has said of the seventh day as follows: “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works,”  and here again he says: “They will not enter into my rest.”

He went on to urge them:
(Hebrews 4:11) Let us therefore do our utmost to enter into that rest, so that no one may fall into the same pattern of disobedience.

Since Paul was urging fellow Christians to ''enter into that rest'' this shows God's rest was continuing in Paul's day. And since God has not resumed creating since Paul's day we can conclude He is still resting and in fact wont resume creative works for the 1,000 year rule of Jesus that lies just ahead,

Sorry to be so long winded, but there is no easy way to explain it.
