How does Shiloh relate to the rest we find in Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Shiloh symbolizes the rest believers enter into through Christ, signifying the end of striving for salvation through works.

Shiloh, as mentioned in Joshua and symbolizing a place of rest, directly correlates to the rest that Jesus provides for believers. In Hebrews 4:9-10, we see that true rest is characterized by ceasing from our works, paralleling God's rest after creation. When Jesus completed His work on the cross, He provided believers with resting from striving to achieve righteousness. Just as the Israelites would travel to Shiloh to worship the Lord, believers now come to Christ to find their spiritual rest, assured that they are accepted in Him. Shiloh thus represents the fulfillment of God's promise of rest and peace found in Christ alone.
