[Music] 00:00:18.82\00:00:22.82 Good evening, ASI, we are the Youth Division 00:03:26.87\00:03:29.92 and our theme this year was pleading the fifth. 00:03:29.93\00:03:33.46 That's the fifth verse of Second Timothy Chapter 3, 00:03:33.47\00:03:37.06 verses 1 through 5. 00:03:37.07\00:03:38.80 It's all about being real, escaping the forms 00:03:38.81\00:03:42.55 of Christianity and we just really emphasize 00:03:42.56\00:03:46.34 living by the power of Jesus Christ. 00:03:46.35\00:03:49.58 My name is Michelle Odinma and I'm one of 00:03:49.59\00:03:51.43 the youth mentors for the program this year. 00:03:51.44\00:03:53.99 And we've selected a couple of students to share with us, 00:03:54.00\00:03:57.20 how the program has impacted them this year. 00:03:57.21\00:04:01.86 The program this year has been amazing. 00:04:01.87\00:04:06.25 I have really had a great time with the teens 00:04:06.26\00:04:11.09 that come to the program, because they have the same 00:04:11.10\00:04:13.34 goals and challenges that I have in my walk with God. 00:04:13.35\00:04:16.64 And I've been really inspired and encouraged 00:04:16.65\00:04:18.82 by the speakers this year to keep growing in Christ. 00:04:18.83\00:04:22.16 And to stay strong no matter what happens. 00:04:22.17\00:04:24.41 I've also been a little bit challenged by our-- 00:04:24.42\00:04:29.90 a thing that we did today. 00:04:29.91\00:04:31.34 We went to Weimar Institute and helped them 00:04:31.35\00:04:33.58 on their farm, which was a lot of fun, 00:04:33.59\00:04:35.54 we got to pick apples and pull weeds and rake leaves 00:04:35.55\00:04:39.32 and even I got a farmer's tan. 00:04:39.33\00:04:44.55 So our theme is on pleading the fifth. 00:04:44.56\00:04:47.99 So what does that mean, when you're in a court case, 00:04:48.00\00:04:50.72 it's about not talking so you don't incriminate 00:04:50.73\00:04:54.99 yourself further, that means you are guilty. 00:04:55.00\00:04:58.33 So how do you this, in our life today, 00:04:58.34\00:05:01.05 in our spiritual walk. 00:05:01.06\00:05:02.90 You know, when someone comes up and ask you about God, 00:05:02.91\00:05:05.28 they ask you how great is this God of yours. 00:05:05.29\00:05:08.14 What is He about? 00:05:08.15\00:05:09.21 And you're just like, you know, He's a good God. 00:05:09.22\00:05:14.21 And that's all you say, it's, what does this form from? 00:05:14.22\00:05:20.13 It's because we don't to be true to our self. 00:05:20.14\00:05:23.11 We don't want to take off our armor, as Sebastian put it. 00:05:23.12\00:05:27.21 We have this armor on, and as we grow up 00:05:27.22\00:05:31.49 we constantly learn that we want to be the big ones. 00:05:31.50\00:05:36.14 We want to have, we want to be strong and-- 00:05:36.15\00:05:38.72 but we aren't, we aren't strong in ourselves 00:05:38.73\00:05:42.76 whatsoever, we need God. 00:05:42.77\00:05:46.97 We need His word, and unless we get rid of 00:05:46.98\00:05:50.53 the self satisfaction, this apathy for service, 00:05:50.54\00:05:56.08 we can do nothing. 00:05:56.09\00:05:57.98 These last days are coming so soon and we just-- 00:05:57.99\00:06:01.51 we need to be ready and we can only do this 00:06:01.52\00:06:04.94 by submitting ourselves to God by realizing that we are not 00:06:04.95\00:06:09.61 all we may think we maybe. 00:06:09.62\00:06:14.69 And this is what, this is what it's all been about. 00:06:14.70\00:06:16.74 It's been such a big blessing. Amen. 00:06:16.75\00:06:19.67 Well, this past month I was with Youth for Jesus, 00:06:25.91\00:06:29.24 that's how I've got here to ASI. 00:06:29.25\00:06:30.71 It's actually my first ASI. 00:06:30.72\00:06:32.55 So I can't say anything about what happened last year. 00:06:32.56\00:06:34.67 But this ASI, I've had an awesome blessing. 00:06:34.68\00:06:38.60 I've had--Tuesday night, I was re-baptized because 00:06:38.61\00:06:43.16 I felt convicted that I need to take off the armor, 00:06:43.17\00:06:46.16 that I need to be real and the youth program 00:06:46.17\00:06:48.66 here at ASI definitely reinforced my decision. 00:06:48.67\00:06:51.64 And I hope this will continue to grow 00:06:51.65\00:06:55.11 because it will really help me, 00:06:55.12\00:06:56.48 and I know it can help a lot of other people. 00:06:56.49\00:06:58.49 And today, working on the farm, 00:06:58.50\00:07:01.53 I was digging a big hole, and I got a couple of visitors. 00:07:01.54\00:07:05.29 I've yet to know what lesson I have to get from that, 00:07:05.30\00:07:08.65 but I'm kind of glad I got them. 00:07:08.66\00:07:11.39 And I'm glad I'm here at ASI. Amen. 00:07:11.40\00:07:15.34 We used the two means that Ellen White gives to us, 00:07:15.35\00:07:18.98 the Bible and nature. 00:07:18.99\00:07:20.93 And it does not fail, God bless. 00:07:20.94\00:07:23.00 Have you not been blessed this evening? 00:07:25.52\00:07:28.69 Oh my, what a blessing this has been tonight 00:07:28.70\00:07:32.66 and to see the little ones and the bigger ones 00:07:32.67\00:07:36.49 and the really big ones. 00:07:36.50\00:07:39.16 You've been a blessing, I got the opportunity to 00:07:39.17\00:07:42.64 attend the baptism on Tuesday evening. 00:07:42.65\00:07:45.52 And what a special blessing that was to me. 00:07:45.53\00:07:48.67 I remember the very first Youth for Jesus, 00:07:48.68\00:07:51.11 I was there, along with my children 00:07:51.12\00:07:53.53 and to see how the program has grown, what a blessing. 00:07:53.54\00:07:58.88 We're happy to be here tonight, are you happy to be here?

Yes. 00:08:57.59\00:08:58.62 Tell us about what got you involved in ASI? 00:08:58.63\00:09:03.71 Tell us what happened a few years ago? 00:09:03.72\00:09:07.04 Well, when I was in Madison, Madison was a college that-- 00:09:07.05\00:09:13.82 we were doing--this was during the depression. 00:09:13.83\00:09:16.20 So kids couldn't go to school where you can, 00:09:16.21\00:09:18.74 for nothing, you know, in Madison. 00:09:18.75\00:09:20.30 Especially one of our institutions. 00:09:20.31\00:09:22.63 So this college was, Madison College 00:09:22.64\00:09:25.89 was formulated so that children could, 00:09:25.90\00:09:30.76 kids could go to school and get a 00:09:30.77\00:09:33.72 Christian education and be deferred. 00:09:33.73\00:09:36.87 When you got out of school then you paid your--paid them back. 00:09:36.88\00:09:40.68 And so that's how Adventists got in-- 00:09:40.69\00:09:43.13 Madison got started, Madison, Tennessee. 00:09:43.14\00:09:46.88 The name of it was Madison College 00:09:46.89\00:09:49.42 and E.A. Sutherland was our, was the founder. 00:09:49.43\00:09:53.62 We had about 200 students, everybody was going to school 00:09:53.63\00:09:58.17 and their tuition was deferred, didn't have to pay anything 00:09:58.18\00:10:01.11 until after they got out of school. 00:10:01.12\00:10:03.02 Then they would payback as you got a job, 00:10:03.03\00:10:07.82 monthly payments till you finally paid your tuition. 00:10:07.83\00:10:12.67 And I think you got 10 cents an hour for. 00:10:12.68\00:10:15.52 Yes, we got, we got 10 cents an hour and a education. 00:10:15.53\00:10:20.53 So it was education and a vocation you learned, 00:10:20.54\00:10:23.74 by the time you finished Madison you had a vocation. 00:10:23.75\00:10:27.26 I went and became a registered nurse 00:10:27.27\00:10:30.20 and 10 cents an hour, labor. 00:10:30.21\00:10:33.91 And then, your senior year. 00:10:33.92\00:10:36.03 And then in my senior year, I became a representative, 00:10:36.04\00:10:44.55 if I say, of ASI, which was a college, 00:10:44.56\00:10:48.55 Madison College sent out 00:10:48.56\00:10:52.23 students to other, other districts. 00:10:52.24\00:10:56.18 Maybe even a hundred miles away to start another school 00:10:56.19\00:10:59.66 just like Madison, and they were called units at that time. 00:10:59.67\00:11:03.82 And we had about eight or ten units for Madison, 00:11:03.83\00:11:10.64 where you start a college just exactly like 00:11:10.65\00:11:13.88 Madison self supporting. 00:11:13.89\00:11:16.04 And so that was why I was into this, 00:11:16.05\00:11:19.59 because they had a meeting of all the units 00:11:19.60\00:11:23.21 would send a delegate. 00:11:23.22\00:11:24.35 And I was a delegate from Madison and the others would 00:11:24.36\00:11:27.77 send a delegate and we would meet every three months 00:11:27.78\00:11:30.26 to find out what you were doing 00:11:30.27\00:11:32.74 and be sure that it was kept just like 00:11:32.75\00:11:35.67 a self supporting institution like Madison. 00:11:35.68\00:11:38.58 So that how we--so our ASI meeting I was there 00:11:38.59\00:11:43.35 and there was only about eight of us. 00:11:43.36\00:11:45.43 How many did you say, Irene? About eight of us. 00:11:45.44\00:11:49.29 Only eight at the very first ASI get together. 00:11:49.30\00:11:53.19 That meant that there was eight different units 00:11:53.20\00:11:56.38 that Madison had represented from. 00:11:56.39\00:12:00.16 What did you think about that? 00:12:00.17\00:12:03.02 Well, at that time, I wasn't too happy about 00:12:03.03\00:12:05.53 even being the delegate, because I worked from 00:12:05.54\00:12:09.21 six in the morning till twelve at noon. 00:12:09.22\00:12:15.98 Nursing and then from 12 to about 6 O'Clock 00:12:15.99\00:12:20.28 we went to school, then at 6 O'Clock, 00:12:20.29\00:12:23.29 from 10 O'Clock, I went back to nursing again. 00:12:23.30\00:12:26.28 So when you work about ten hours a day 00:12:26.29\00:12:28.92 and try to go to school I was realizing what 00:12:28.93\00:12:32.08 I was missing by even going to those meetings, 00:12:32.09\00:12:34.85 but look what we have. Amen. Wonderful. 00:12:34.86\00:12:41.45 ASI at that time meant 00:12:45.42\00:12:48.44 Adventist Self Supporting Institution. 00:12:48.45\00:12:52.46 It's changed its name because it's gotten floosier, you know. 00:12:52.47\00:13:00.37 And anyway, I can't believe that we have 00:13:00.38\00:13:09.07 such a wonderful congregation 00:13:09.08\00:13:11.36 from ASI is just really wonderful. 00:13:11.37\00:13:13.74 I'm just -- that little, that little gathering 00:13:13.75\00:13:16.55 and that little thing that we started in Madison 00:13:16.56\00:13:19.67 has developed into something 00:13:19.68\00:13:21.37 that's very beautiful and wonderful. Amen. 00:13:21.38\00:13:24.74 Well, Irene, we're so happy 00:13:24.75\00:13:26.57 that you can be here with us tonight. 00:13:26.58\00:13:28.67 This is very, very special. 00:13:28.68\00:13:31.19 But you know, I know you're doing something else right now, 00:13:31.20\00:13:34.13 you're very involved with what?

Covering Cherub. 00:22:37.39\00:22:39.72 Now to understand what a covering Cherub is, 00:22:39.73\00:22:42.14 we must go back to the Old Testament, 00:22:42.15\00:22:44.01 to the Book of Exodus. Where in Exodus 25, 00:22:44.02\00:22:46.90 the Bible describes a building that God had instructed 00:22:46.91\00:22:50.90 Moses to make, that building is called the sanctuary 00:22:50.91\00:22:54.62 and inside that sanctuary was a Most Holy Place, 00:22:54.63\00:22:58.40 which was a reflection of God's throne room in Heaven. 00:22:58.41\00:23:01.99 Are you with me? Amen. 00:23:02.00\00:23:03.90 In that throne room was something called 00:23:03.91\00:23:05.65 the Ark of the Covenant and on top of it 00:23:05.66\00:23:09.09 was something called the Mercy Seat. 00:23:09.10\00:23:11.84 Now that Mercy Seat represents God's throne. 00:23:11.85\00:23:17.01 Now the Mercy Seat rests upon the Ark of the Covenant, 00:23:17.02\00:23:20.74 listen to what that tells us, beloved. 00:23:20.75\00:23:22.38 That, in Heaven the foundation of God's throne 00:23:22.39\00:23:26.55 was His law, because that's what's 00:23:26.56\00:23:29.59 found in the Ark of the Covenant. 00:23:29.60\00:23:30.62 Are you with me so far? Amen. 00:23:30.63\00:23:33.00 Now the Bible says that on either side of this Ark were 00:23:33.01\00:23:35.66 two angels and they were called what? 00:23:35.67\00:23:38.79 Covering Angels, that word cover simply means 00:23:38.80\00:23:41.87 to defend or protect. 00:23:41.88\00:23:43.76 Listen to what that tells us about Lucifer, beloved, 00:23:43.77\00:23:47.02 Lucifer's job description in Heaven was to protect 00:23:47.03\00:23:51.59 and defend the law of God. Whoa. 00:23:51.60\00:23:59.14 He who stood in the very presence of God, 00:23:59.15\00:24:01.07 he was to guard the sanctity of that law, 00:24:01.08\00:24:04.31 because it was the foundation of God's government. 00:24:04.32\00:24:06.44 But the Bible tells us in Ezekiel 28 00:24:06.45\00:24:08.75 that Lucifer was perfect until what? 00:24:08.76\00:24:11.90 Inequity was found in him. 00:24:11.91\00:24:13.16 Now, you help me, inequity according 00:24:13.17\00:24:15.35 to the word of God is sin 00:24:15.36\00:24:17.34 and sin is transgression of the Law. 00:24:17.35\00:24:20.57 So, Lucifer who was supposed to be guarding 00:24:20.58\00:24:23.66 the law of God ends up turning against that law and thus, 00:24:23.67\00:24:28.25 beloved, the first war 00:24:28.26\00:24:29.78 that ever broke out was over the law of God. 00:24:29.79\00:24:37.22 Okay, we'll work on that. 00:24:37.23\00:24:40.05 Now, now the question is why is it, 00:24:40.06\00:24:42.69 the Bible tells us that Lucifer deceived 00:24:42.70\00:24:44.84 one-third of the angels, amen. 00:24:44.85\00:24:47.73 And, and, we need to ask the question why is it, 00:24:47.74\00:24:50.37 how is it that Lucifer deceive one-third of angels. 00:24:50.38\00:24:52.81 Did Lucifer say, hey angels, 00:24:52.82\00:24:54.43 would you like to be evil and join me. 00:24:54.44\00:24:56.35 No, that wouldn't be deception. 00:24:56.36\00:24:59.38 The Book of Isaiah Chapter 14 tells us that Lucifer 00:24:59.39\00:25:02.91 claimed to, he said that, 00:25:02.92\00:25:03.97 "I can be or I will be like" who, the Most High. 00:25:03.98\00:25:07.96 Let's put it together, to be like the Most High means 00:25:07.97\00:25:11.03 to be just it means to be righteous as He is, 00:25:11.04\00:25:15.14 Holy like He is. 00:25:15.15\00:25:17.24 Listen to what Lucifer was saying. 00:25:17.25\00:25:19.58 Lucifer was saying, I can be Holy like God 00:25:19.59\00:25:23.62 without some law telling me how to do it. 00:25:23.63\00:25:27.31 Okay, okay, have you heard that argument before that, 00:25:27.32\00:25:32.64 that we don't need a law in order to be like God. 00:25:32.65\00:25:36.59 Beloved, that's an argument of self righteousness 00:25:36.60\00:25:41.16 and that's what deceived one-third of angels in Heaven. 00:25:41.17\00:25:44.25 Lucifer didn't say, hey, I want to be evil. 00:25:44.26\00:25:46.12 He said, there are other ways to righteousness 00:25:46.13\00:25:48.32 other than obeying God. 00:25:48.33\00:25:51.11 That's how the rebellion began, 00:25:51.12\00:25:52.51 that's how he deceived one-third of the angels. 00:25:52.52\00:25:54.54 How many of you are following me in the movie so far? 00:25:54.55\00:25:58.28 The Bible tells us that Lucifer and the angels were cast out. 00:25:58.29\00:26:02.80 The question now becomes, why is it that Lucifer was 00:26:02.81\00:26:05.98 not immediately judged. 00:26:05.99\00:26:08.01 Have you ever asked yourself that question? 00:26:08.02\00:26:09.70 Very simple, beloved, the answer's a profound one, 00:26:09.71\00:26:11.83 you see in the Book of Deuteronomy 00:26:11.84\00:26:13.45 Chapter 19 verses 16 through 19, 00:26:13.46\00:26:16.33 the Bible lays out a principle there 00:26:16.34\00:26:18.31 giving to Moses and the children of Israel. 00:26:18.32\00:26:20.17 Whenever a controversy arose between two parties, 00:26:20.18\00:26:23.92 there had to be a third party of what, everyone? 00:26:23.93\00:26:27.27 A third party to discern between the two, 00:26:27.28\00:26:30.70 that's only fair, isn't that right. 00:26:30.71\00:26:32.86 Now, let's take that very same principle 00:26:32.87\00:26:35.08 and bring it back to our story in Heaven. 00:26:35.09\00:26:37.58 When Lucifer and his angels rebel, 00:26:37.59\00:26:40.31 how many sides are there in Heaven? 00:26:40.32\00:26:43.27 Two, God and His angels, the devil and his angels. 00:26:43.28\00:26:49.37 It's as though there's a stalemate, 00:26:49.38\00:26:51.28 the devil is accusing God and for God to sit over judgment 00:26:51.29\00:26:56.19 of the devil at that point in time would 00:26:56.20\00:26:58.39 have been seen to be unfair. 00:26:58.40\00:27:02.00 It's like you trying me to take me to court 00:27:02.01\00:27:03.57 and I'll say, okay and I'm the judge. 00:27:03.58\00:27:08.10 Okay, so, so in the Book of Ezekiel 00:27:08.11\00:27:10.08 the Bible says there, when God is speaking 00:27:10.09\00:27:12.67 of casting out Lucifer, He says, Lucifer, 00:27:12.68\00:27:14.92 I'm gonna lay you before kings that they may behold you. 00:27:14.93\00:27:18.54 This term appears to be synonymous with some kind of 00:27:18.55\00:27:21.32 judgment and I can imagine in my pastoral imagination, 00:27:21.33\00:27:24.83 Lucifer scratching his head going, 00:27:24.84\00:27:26.53 who are you gonna get to judge me, God. 00:27:26.54\00:27:29.45 Don't you know all heaven is polarized into two sides? 00:27:29.46\00:27:32.98 Beloved, here's a question, who would be the jury, 00:27:32.99\00:27:35.86 the third party that God will use to judge Lucifer? 00:27:35.87\00:27:42.48 You're looking at them right now. 00:27:42.49\00:27:45.98 You see, beloved, listen, there is something about 00:27:45.99\00:27:48.06 jury selection that we should know. 00:27:48.07\00:27:49.72 When a jury is selected they like to choose people who have 00:27:49.73\00:27:53.29 little or no first hand knowledge of the crime. 00:27:53.30\00:27:56.97 Guess what, where was humanity when Lucifer rebelled? 00:27:56.98\00:28:02.05 We weren't even created yet, so far so good. 00:28:02.06\00:28:06.02 How about this, a juror must be a law abiding-- 00:28:06.03\00:28:11.49 a juror must be a law abiding citizen and, beloved, 00:28:20.10\00:28:23.28 we know that Adam and Eve were created with 00:28:23.29\00:28:24.70 the law of God written on their hearts. 00:28:24.71\00:28:27.25 And number three, beloved, a juror, 00:28:27.26\00:28:30.27 must be able to discern between right and wrong 00:28:30.28\00:28:34.97 and must not be swayed by public opinion. 00:28:34.98\00:28:40.75 First Corinthians 6 says, know ye not that we 00:28:40.76\00:28:42.85 shall judge angels. 00:28:42.86\00:28:47.04 We are the kings that God created 00:28:47.05\00:28:49.66 partially to serve as jurors. 00:28:49.67\00:28:52.49 Let me tell you something, jury duty don't skip out. 00:28:52.50\00:28:57.31 So, beloved, Lucifer sees his creation of man 00:28:57.32\00:28:59.56 and he goes, are these that ones that ought to judge me? 00:28:59.57\00:29:02.55 What shall I do, what shall I do. 00:29:02.56\00:29:05.76 Beloved, if you had access to a jury that had your fate 00:29:05.77\00:29:08.60 in their hands, what would you do? 00:29:08.61\00:29:10.88 Seek to bribe the jury. 00:29:10.89\00:29:18.09 Satan comes to Eve in the garden 00:29:18.10\00:29:19.55 and does he say to Eve, hey Eve, would like to be evil. 00:29:19.56\00:29:23.84 No, no, no, no, he says, Eve, you can be like huh? 00:29:28.66\00:29:33.24 Does that sound familiar. 00:29:33.25\00:29:35.62 It's the same thing he said to the angels. 00:29:35.63\00:29:38.98 Are you with me in the movie so far? 00:29:38.99\00:29:41.30 So, Adam and Eve sinned 00:29:41.31\00:29:42.93 and they are disqualified from jury selection. 00:29:42.94\00:29:45.61 Jesus comes to the garden and He gives them a promise, 00:29:45.62\00:29:48.36 and beloved, we can ultimately know that 00:29:48.37\00:29:50.66 the gospel was given to restore mankind to being sound jurors, 00:29:50.67\00:29:58.45 who know the difference between 00:29:58.46\00:30:00.15 right and wrong and who are law abiding citizens. 00:30:00.16\00:30:08.75 Are you with me so far? 00:30:08.76\00:30:10.32 So now, we're going to fast forward 00:30:10.84\00:30:12.88 our movie scene a little bit 00:30:12.89\00:30:14.90 and now we're going to go down to the Book of Exodus. 00:30:14.91\00:30:16.63 And beloved in the Book of Exodus 00:30:16.64\00:30:17.97 what we find is that God is about to call 00:30:17.98\00:30:20.00 a people out of captivity. 00:30:20.01\00:30:21.94 Who are they? They're the Israelites. 00:30:21.95\00:30:24.50 Now, beloved, listen to me in the, 00:30:24.51\00:30:27.26 when Lucifer rebelled against God in heaven 00:30:27.27\00:30:30.20 he didn't liked God's way. 00:30:30.21\00:30:31.86 God's what, everyone?

00:36:33.02\00:36:36.19 Because in Exodus 20. 00:36:36.20\00:36:38.16 In Exodus 20, beloved, God comes down and speaks what? 00:36:45.49\00:36:49.59 the Ten Commandments. 00:36:49.60\00:36:51.28 Let's just do a few more, is that okay? 00:36:51.29\00:36:54.00 Jesus is born in a manger among animals. 00:36:54.01\00:36:59.39 We might say He was born on an Altar of Sacrifice. 00:36:59.40\00:37:03.36 He was baptized at the age of 30, that's the Laver. 00:37:03.37\00:37:09.62 He's then led up into the wilderness where He's tempted, 00:37:09.63\00:37:12.60 the first temptation, 00:37:14.99\00:37:18.61 you thought I was making this up. 00:37:18.62\00:37:22.28 Turn the stone into bread, second temptation, 00:37:22.29\00:37:26.46 throw yourself down from this cliff 00:37:26.47\00:37:28.07 and offer a presumptuous prayer to God. 00:37:28.08\00:37:31.43 Third temptation, I know you came for your people, 00:37:31.44\00:37:34.06 your Seven-branched Candlestick, 00:37:34.07\00:37:35.58 bow down and I'll give you your people. 00:37:35.59\00:37:38.21 Jesus overcomes all three temptations 00:37:38.22\00:37:40.36 and goes on to preach the law combined with the mercy of God. 00:37:40.37\00:37:45.84 Or we could reverse it, Jesus left Heaven, 00:37:45.85\00:37:48.79 His throne, lived a life of prayer, 00:37:48.80\00:37:52.39 lived a life based on the word of God. 00:37:52.40\00:37:54.15 Let his light shine, was baptized and then crucified. 00:37:54.16\00:37:58.03 Which way do you want it?

00:38:39.85\00:38:42.41 Christ, and if I genuinely accept Christ, 00:38:42.42\00:38:44.67 I will be baptized and if I'm genuinely baptized 00:38:44.68\00:38:48.66 and following Christ, I will study the word, 00:38:48.67\00:38:51.61 I will pray and I will what?

00:39:24.40\00:39:27.88 So, it's as though God gives, imagine it like this, 00:39:27.89\00:39:30.40 the blueprint is the football 00:39:30.41\00:39:32.49 and God gives this football 00:39:32.50\00:39:33.81 to Israel and he says, take it down the field. 00:39:33.82\00:39:38.00 But Israel, they begin running down the field 00:39:38.01\00:39:40.03 but they begin to rebel against God 00:39:40.04\00:39:41.93 and they get so stubborn 00:39:41.94\00:39:43.26 that God allows them to fall into Babylonian captivity. 00:39:43.27\00:39:48.39 Well, what happens?

00:40:37.06\00:40:38.94 The veil in the temple is rent into, 00:40:38.95\00:40:43.03 signifying the end of the earthly blueprint. 00:40:43.04\00:40:47.87 Jesus as after His resurrection 00:40:47.88\00:40:49.99 ascends to Heaven in a heavenly sanctuary, 00:40:50.00\00:40:54.76 and the blueprint, the ball is taken 00:40:54.77\00:40:57.34 from literal Israel 00:40:57.35\00:40:58.70 and given to spiritual Israel. 00:40:58.71\00:41:02.11 Guess what, 00:41:02.12\00:41:03.17 we just went through the entire Old Testament 00:41:03.18\00:41:06.10 and we've 16 minutes to go, 00:41:06.11\00:41:08.28 the clock is tickling. 00:41:08.29\00:41:12.25 God gives Israel the gift of tongues, 00:41:12.26\00:41:14.56 so that they can take this message 00:41:14.57\00:41:16.75 of a heavenly sanctuary, 00:41:16.76\00:41:18.47 and a heavenly high priest into all the world. 00:41:18.48\00:41:21.75 And off Israel goes, down the field, 00:41:21.76\00:41:24.27 nothing can stop them. 00:41:24.28\00:41:25.52 Satan says, I gotta stop these guys, so what does He do? 00:41:25.53\00:41:28.42 He raises up first literal Israel 00:41:28.43\00:41:31.53 to attack spiritual Israel and then He raises up literal Rome 00:41:31.54\00:41:35.54 to attack spiritual Israel. 00:41:35.55\00:41:37.45 But He finds that every time a Christian dies, 00:41:37.46\00:41:40.28 it's working against him. 00:41:40.29\00:41:41.88 Because, their seed only what? 00:41:41.89\00:41:44.29 Multiplies, so then he says, I've gotta change my tactic, 00:41:44.30\00:41:48.33 and beloved, that introduces us to the second 00:41:48.34\00:41:50.80 of three time prophecies in the Book of Daniel. 00:41:50.81\00:41:52.86 The prophecy of the 1260-years, 00:41:52.87\00:41:57.53 and beloved, this prophecy simply stated, 00:41:57.54\00:41:59.72 that there would rise a power called a little horn. 00:41:59.73\00:42:04.08 And this little horn would seek 00:42:04.09\00:42:06.20 to cast down God's blueprint. 00:42:06.21\00:42:09.47 Are you with me so far?

Very simple, 00:42:41.34\00:42:43.34 the Altar of Sacrifice which represented Christ's sacrifice 00:42:43.35\00:42:47.38 was cast down and replaced with a teaching called Penance. 00:42:47.39\00:42:53.50 Christ sacrifice is not enough 00:42:53.51\00:42:55.07 to pay for your sin, you must pay penance. 00:42:55.08\00:42:59.73 The effectiveness of Christ sacrifice was cast down 00:42:59.74\00:43:03.54 and something was taught in its place. 00:43:03.55\00:43:06.96 Well, what about the Laver which represents baptism? 00:43:06.97\00:43:10.05 The church of the Dark Ages 00:43:10.06\00:43:11.98 said we're gonna substitute infant sprinkling 00:43:11.99\00:43:17.48 in the place of genuine baptism 00:43:17.49\00:43:19.70 that calls for confession and repentance. 00:43:19.71\00:43:23.59 Not only do they do that, 00:43:23.60\00:43:24.98 but they went up into the Holy Place 00:43:24.99\00:43:26.72 and said that the Table of Showbread 00:43:26.73\00:43:28.37 which represents the word of God. 00:43:28.38\00:43:30.03 Man, you can't understand the word of God for yourself, 00:43:30.04\00:43:32.67 only the priest can explain it to you. 00:43:32.68\00:43:36.40 And they say, listen, we're gonna, 00:43:36.41\00:43:37.54 the traditions of the church are more important 00:43:37.55\00:43:41.66 than the word of God. 00:43:41.67\00:43:43.91 Not only do they do that, beloved, 00:43:43.92\00:43:45.54 but they reached up unto the Altar of Incense 00:43:45.55\00:43:48.18 which represents prayer and they said, 00:43:48.19\00:43:49.79 you can't pray to God, 00:43:49.80\00:43:51.42 you have to go through priests. 00:43:51.43\00:43:55.01 In fact, they even created their own 00:43:55.02\00:43:58.14 two compartment room divided by a curtain, okay. 00:43:58.15\00:44:05.62 With a man sitting in the place of God, 00:44:05.63\00:44:07.99 hearing the confessions of other men. 00:44:08.00\00:44:11.29 They put up the light of the church 00:44:11.30\00:44:13.12 thus creating the Dark Ages 00:44:13.13\00:44:14.75 and then they went up into the Most Holy Place 00:44:14.76\00:44:16.82 and took the law and took that Seventh day Sabbath 00:44:16.83\00:44:19.84 and cast it on and put in its place 00:44:19.85\00:44:22.41 a first day of Sabbath. 00:44:22.42\00:44:24.39 Shall we despair, what is God gonna do now. 00:44:27.25\00:44:30.55 Can you see it in your movie?
