00:01:12.67\00:01:13.90
A SHARP-LOOKING SENTINEL
00:01:13.90\00:01:15.74
GUARDING THE TOMB
OF THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER.
00:01:15.74\00:01:18.47
EVERY DETAIL OF
THIS HONOR GUARD SERVICE
00:01:18.47\00:01:21.18
IS FLAWLESSLY EXECUTED.
00:01:21.18\00:01:23.31
AND IT'S FILLED
WITH SYMBOLISM TOO.
00:01:23.31\00:01:25.71
ONLY A FRACTION OF
SOLDIERS WHO TRY OUT

CANDIDATES MUST MEET
STRICT QUALIFICATIONS

THOSE WHO MAKE THE CUT
00:01:37.96\00:01:39.19
ARE HELD TO A
VERY HIGH STANDARD.
00:01:39.19\00:01:41.86
THE GUARDS WHICH ARE CHANGED
EVERY 30 MINUTES IN THE SUMMER
00:01:41.86\00:01:45.27
AND EVERY HOUR IN THE WINTER
00:01:45.27\00:01:47.07
HAVE BEEN PATROLLING
THE TOMB 24 HOURS A DAY,
00:01:47.07\00:01:50.74
365 DAYS A YEAR,
00:01:50.74\00:01:53.38
CONTINUOUSLY
SINCE APRIL 6, 1948,
00:01:53.38\00:01:57.71
IN ALL KINDS OF
WEATHER INCLUDING HURRICANES.
00:01:57.71\00:02:00.72
FOR THEM, GUARDING THE
TOMB IS NOT JUST AN ASSIGNMENT.
00:02:00.72\00:02:04.39
IT'S THE HIGHEST HONOR A
SERVICEPERSON CAN RECEIVE.
00:02:04.39\00:02:08.72
DID YOU KNOW THE BIBLE
TEACHES THAT GOD HAS A MEMORIAL
00:02:08.72\00:02:12.43
TO BE REMEMBERED IN HIS WORD?
00:02:12.43\00:02:14.30
IT'S FOUND IN THE
FOURTH COMMANDMENT.
00:02:14.30\00:02:16.20
AND IT
MEMORIALIZES GOD'S CREATIVE
00:02:16.20\00:02:18.27
AND SANCTIFYING POWER,
00:02:18.27\00:02:20.27
HONORING HIM AS OUR
CREATOR AND REDEEMER.
00:02:20.27\00:02:23.10
LET'S TAKE A FEW MINUTES
NOW AND EXPLORE FROM THE BIBLE
00:02:23.10\00:02:26.01
THIS MEMORIAL
FOUND IN GOD'S WORD.
00:02:26.01\00:02:28.48
TONIGHT, OUR PRESENTATION
IS GOING TO BE DEALING
00:02:32.41\00:02:34.68
WITH THE SUBJECT OF THE
144,000 AND THE SEAL OF GOD.
00:02:34.68\00:02:39.82
LET'S START WITH THE 144,000
IN CHAPTER 7 OF REVELATION
00:02:39.82\00:02:44.13
AND YOU CAN BEGIN WITH
VERSE 1, CHAPTER 7, VERSE 1,
00:02:44.13\00:02:47.86
"AFTER THESE
THINGS I SAW FOUR ANGELS
00:02:47.86\00:02:51.40
HOLDING THE FOUR
WINDS OF THE EARTH,
00:02:51.40\00:02:53.60
THAT THE WIND SHOULD
NOT BLOW ON THE EARTH,
00:02:53.60\00:02:56.30
OR THE SEA, OR ANY
TREE." UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS,
00:02:56.30\00:02:59.61
IT'S GOING TO BLOW EVENTUALLY.
00:02:59.61\00:03:01.64
THOSE WINDS OF
STRIFE ARE REALLY...
00:03:01.64\00:03:03.81
THEY'RE KIND OF SUMMARIZED
IN THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES.
00:03:03.81\00:03:07.72
"THEN I SAW ANOTHER
ANGEL ASCENDING FROM THE EAST,
00:03:07.72\00:03:10.79
HAVING THE SEAL
OF THE LIVING GOD.
00:03:10.79\00:03:13.86
AND HE CRIED
WITH A LOUD VOICE...
00:03:13.86\00:03:15.39
SAYING, 'DO NOT HARM THE EARTH,
00:03:15.39\00:03:17.93
OR THE SEA, OR THE TREES
00:03:17.93\00:03:20.26
TILL WE HAVE SEALED
THE SERVANTS OF OUR GOD
00:03:20.26\00:03:23.43
ON THEIR FOREHEADS.'"
00:03:23.43\00:03:25.17
AND, SORT OF, WITH
THAT AS AN INTRODUCTION,
00:03:25.17\00:03:26.74
LET'S GO THROUGH
SOME OF OUR QUESTIONS NOW
00:03:26.74\00:03:29.34
THAT TALK ABOUT THE
144,000 AND THE SEAL OF GOD.
00:03:29.34\00:03:33.31
FIRST QUESTION, SO
WHAT IS THE SEAL OF GOD?
00:03:33.31\00:03:37.11
IT SAYS THERE IN EPHESIANS 4:30,
00:03:37.11\00:03:38.81
"DO NOT GRIEVE THE
HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD,
00:03:38.81\00:03:40.92
WHEREWITH YOU ARE SEALED
FOR THE DAY OF REDEMPTION."
00:03:40.92\00:03:45.05
THERE'S A SEAL
OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
00:03:45.05\00:03:46.59
THAT HAPPENS INSIDE.
00:03:46.59\00:03:48.09
BUT THERE'S SOMETHING
00:03:48.09\00:03:49.46
THAT IS MORE TANGIBLE THAN THAT
00:03:49.46\00:03:51.36
THAT CAN BE SEEN IN THE LIFE,
00:03:51.36\00:03:52.86
AND YOU'LL FIND
THAT IN THIS VERSE,
00:03:52.86\00:03:54.30
ISAIAH 8:16,
"BIND UP THE TESTIMONY,
00:03:54.30\00:03:58.93
SEAL THE LAW
AMONG MY DISCIPLES."
00:03:58.93\00:04:03.17
CAN THE LAW BE
SEALED IN THE HEART?
00:04:03.17\00:04:06.64
SO THE LAW OF GOD,
IN A SENSE, IS THE SEAL,
00:04:06.64\00:04:08.71
WHAT'S THE NEW COVENANT?
00:04:08.71\00:04:09.84
"I'LL TAKE MY LAW AND
WRITE IT IN THEIR HEARTS."
00:04:09.84\00:04:13.72
BUT WE'RE GOING
TO GO A STEP DEEPER
00:04:13.72\00:04:15.55
TO FIND OUT WHAT IS
THAT SEAL AND THE LAW.
00:04:15.55\00:04:18.75
"REMEMBER THE
SABBATH DAY TO KEEP IT HOLY.
00:04:18.75\00:04:21.49
SIX DAYS YOU SHALL
LABOR AND DO ALL YOUR WORK.
00:04:21.49\00:04:25.56
BUT THE SEVENTH DAY
00:04:25.56\00:04:27.10
IS THE SABBATH OF
THE LORD YOUR GOD.
00:04:27.10\00:04:29.26
IN IT YOU SHALL NOT DO ANY WORK,
00:04:29.26\00:04:31.60
YOU OR YOUR SON
OR YOUR DAUGHTER,
00:04:31.60\00:04:33.34
YOUR MALE SERVANT
OR YOUR FEMALE SERVANT,
00:04:33.34\00:04:35.77
NOR YOUR CATTLE OR THE STRANGER
WHO IS WITHIN YOUR GATES."
00:04:35.77\00:04:38.84
NOW HEAR, WATCH CAREFULLY,
"FOR IN SIX DAYS, THE LORD,"
00:04:38.84\00:04:43.24
JEHOVAH HIS NAME,
CREATED, "MADE," HIS OFFICE,
00:04:43.24\00:04:47.95
HE'S THE CREATOR AND SUSTAINER
00:04:47.95\00:04:49.52
"THE HEAVENS AND
THE EARTH, AND THE SEA."
00:04:49.52\00:04:52.62
THERE YOU HAVE THE NAME OF GOD,
00:04:52.62\00:04:54.96
THE TITLE OF GOD,
THE TERRITORY OF GOD.
00:04:54.96\00:04:57.56
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
LAW OF GOD IS THIS SEAL.
00:04:57.56\00:05:01.80
AND WHAT WE'RE GOING
TO BE TALKING ABOUT NOW
00:05:01.80\00:05:04.13
IS THE SABBATH COMMANDMENT
00:05:04.13\00:05:06.37
AND WHY IT IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE
00:05:06.37\00:05:08.17
IN THE LAST DAYS
00:05:08.17\00:05:09.54
BECAUSE IT TALKS
ABOUT RESTING IN THE LORD.
00:05:09.54\00:05:13.51
IT TALKS ABOUT
HAVING A RELATIONSHIP,
00:05:13.51\00:05:15.38
IT TALKS ABOUT
HAVING THE FATHER'S NAME.
00:05:15.38\00:05:17.35
IS THE FATHER'S
NAME IN THAT COMMANDMENT?
00:05:17.35\00:05:19.68
JEHOVAH, "THE
LORD MADE THE HEAVEN
00:05:19.68\00:05:21.92
AND EARTH AND SEA
AND ALL THAT IS IN THEM,
00:05:21.92\00:05:23.75
AND HE RESTED THE SEVENTH DAY.
00:05:23.75\00:05:25.32
THEREFORE, THE LORD
BLESSED THE SABBATH DAY
00:05:25.32\00:05:28.09
AND HE HALLOWED IT,"
THAT MEANS HE MADE IT HOLY.
00:05:28.09\00:05:30.86
GOD, WHEN HE CREATED THE WORLD,
00:05:30.86\00:05:32.43
HE CREATED AND
SANCTIFIED A QUALITY TIME
00:05:32.43\00:05:35.33
TO NURTURE OUR
RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.
00:05:35.33\00:05:37.70
AND IF YOU LOVE GOD...
00:05:37.70\00:05:39.17
IF YOU KNOW
GOD, YOU'LL LOVE HIM.
00:05:39.17\00:05:40.34
IF YOU LOVE
HIM, YOU'LL OBEY HIM.
00:05:40.34\00:05:41.57
THE DEVIL IS TRYING TO
DESTROY THE QUALITY TIME
00:05:41.57\00:05:45.11
AND THE LOVE RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN PEOPLE AND GOD,
00:05:45.11\00:05:48.24
AND HE IS ESPECIALLY
ATTACKING THE SABBATH.
00:05:48.24\00:05:51.95
DID GOD MAKE THE
SABBATH ONLY FOR ISRAELITES?
00:05:51.95\00:05:54.55
NO. WELL, LET'S THINK ABOUT IT.
00:05:54.55\00:05:56.92
HOW FAR BACK
DOES THE SABBATH GO?
00:05:56.92\00:05:59.72
JESUS SAID, MARK
2:27, "HE SAID UNTO THEM,
00:05:59.72\00:06:03.43
'THE SABBATH
WAS MADE FOR JEWS.'"
00:06:03.43\00:06:06.49
AND... FOR MAN.
00:06:06.49\00:06:07.86
WELL, YOU CAN SPELL
JEWS SEVERAL DIFFERENT WAYS.
00:06:07.86\00:06:09.73
ONE WAY IS M-A-N.
00:06:09.73\00:06:11.97
IS THAT'S WHAT IT
SAYS? DOES IT SAY JEWS?
00:06:11.97\00:06:14.40
THAT WORD THERE IS TALKING
ABOUT ANTHROPOS, EVERYBODY,
00:06:14.40\00:06:17.04
HUMANITY, THE SABBATH
WAS MADE FOR MAN, MANKIND.
00:06:17.04\00:06:21.01
QUICK TEST, HOW MANY HERE
ARE RELATED TO ADAM AND EVE?
00:06:21.01\00:06:24.65
ALL OF US.
00:06:24.65\00:06:26.51
SABBATH WAS MADE
FOR MAN. WHEN WAS THAT?
00:06:26.51\00:06:28.22
WAY BACK IN THE
BEGINNING. JESUS SAID THAT.
00:06:28.22\00:06:31.49
IT'S NOT MADE FOR JEWS.
00:06:31.49\00:06:33.29
THE BIBLE'S REALLY
CLEAR, IT'S FOR EVERYBODY.
00:06:33.29\00:06:35.46
"ALSO, THE SONS OF THE
STRANGER THAT JOIN THEMSELVES
00:06:35.46\00:06:38.36
TO THE LORD TO SERVE HIM,
00:06:38.36\00:06:39.96
AND TO LOVE THE
NAME OF THE LORD,
00:06:39.96\00:06:42.20
TO BE HIS SERVANTS, EVERYONE,"
THE STRANGER, THE GENTILE,
00:06:42.20\00:06:45.33
"THAT KEEPS THE
SABBATH DAY FROM POLLUTING IT,
00:06:45.33\00:06:47.90
AND TAKES HOLD OF MY COVENANT,
00:06:47.90\00:06:49.67
EVEN THEM I WILL
BRING TO MY HOLY MOUNTAIN
00:06:49.67\00:06:52.14
AND MAKE THEM JOYFUL
IN MY HOUSE OF PRAYER."
00:06:52.14\00:06:55.58
WHAT DOES HE
PROMISE TO EVERYBODY
00:06:55.58\00:06:56.95
THAT REMEMBERS HIS COMMANDMENT?
00:06:56.95\00:06:58.81
JOY. IT'S TO BE A BLESSING.
00:06:58.81\00:07:01.22
HE DIDN'T CURSE THE DAY,
HE BLESSED THE DAY, RIGHT?
00:07:01.22\00:07:04.52
SO WHEN DID GOD
ESTABLISH THE SABBATH TRUTH,
00:07:04.52\00:07:06.52
THE SEAL THAT WE'RE STUDYING?
00:07:06.52\00:07:08.69
WAY BACK IN THE BEGINNING,
IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN,
00:07:08.69\00:07:10.83
AFTER GOD MADE
EVERYTHING IN SIX DAYS...
00:07:10.83\00:07:13.09
HOW MANY DAYS
IN THE WEEK? SEVEN.
00:07:13.09\00:07:15.63
DO YOU KNOW THERE'S
SEVEN DAYS IN THE WEEK
00:07:15.63\00:07:16.80
WHEN WE WENT TO CHINA?
00:07:16.80\00:07:18.33
AND THEY'RE TECHNICALLY
AN ATHEISTIC COUNTRY.
00:07:18.33\00:07:19.97
KAREN AND I WENT TO RUSSIA
RIGHT AFTER THE IRON CURTAIN
00:07:19.97\00:07:23.07
FELL SEVEN DAYS OF
THE WEEK IN KOREA, JAPAN,
00:07:23.07\00:07:25.57
EVERYWHERE WE'VE BEEN,
AUSTRALIA, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK.
00:07:25.57\00:07:28.84
WHY?
00:07:28.84\00:07:30.08
IT'S REALLY STRANGE
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT.
00:07:30.08\00:07:32.08
IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE WHY
ALL THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD,
00:07:32.08\00:07:35.18
EVEN BEFORE THE SPREAD
OF MODERN CIVILIZATION,
00:07:35.18\00:07:37.85
HAD 360 TO 370 DAYS IN
THEIR CALENDAR FOR A YEAR
00:07:37.85\00:07:43.59
BECAUSE THAT'S...
00:07:43.59\00:07:44.66
THEY COULD SEE,
THEY COULD OBSERVE
00:07:44.66\00:07:46.09
THAT'S HOW LONG IT
TOOK FOR THE EARTH TO GO
00:07:46.09\00:07:49.03
ONCE AROUND THE SUN,
00:07:49.03\00:07:50.27
SO IT SHOULDN'T SURPRISE US THAT
00:07:50.27\00:07:51.53
ALL THE ANCIENT
CIVILIZATIONS HAD A YEAR
00:07:51.53\00:07:53.94
WITH ABOUT THE
SAME NUMBER OF DAYS.
00:07:53.94\00:07:55.94
IT SHOULDN'T SURPRISE US
00:07:55.94\00:07:57.01
THAT THEY ALL HAD
SOMETHING LIKE A MONTH
00:07:57.01\00:07:59.47
BECAUSE IT'S THE LUNAR CYCLE.
00:07:59.47\00:08:01.28
THAT'S WHERE YOU GET
THE WORD MONTH, MOON.
00:08:01.28\00:08:04.41
AND WE ALL KNOW
IT TAKES 24 HOURS
00:08:04.41\00:08:05.95
FOR THE EARTH TO
REVOLVE ONCE ON ITS AXIS,
00:08:05.95\00:08:08.78
BUT WHERE IN THE SUN, MOON,
00:08:08.78\00:08:10.35
AND STARS DO YOU
GET A SEVEN-DAY WEEK?
00:08:10.35\00:08:13.69
NOWHERE.
00:08:13.69\00:08:14.86
THE ONLY PLACE THAT THE
WORLD CAN TRACE A SEVEN-DAY WEEK
00:08:14.86\00:08:17.33
IS TO "IN THE BEGINNING,
GOD CREATED THE HEAVENS
00:08:17.33\00:08:20.23
AND THE EARTH."
00:08:20.23\00:08:21.66
IT ALL GOES BACK TO THE BIBLE.
00:08:21.66\00:08:23.33
WHY DO WE HAVE
SEVEN AND NOT SIX?
00:08:23.33\00:08:25.00
HE FINISHED
EVERYTHING IN SIX DAYS,
00:08:25.00\00:08:26.67
WHY DO WE HAVE SEVEN?
HE SAID, "I'M NOT DONE YET.
00:08:26.67\00:08:29.37
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO ENJOY
00:08:29.37\00:08:30.47
ANYTHING I MADE
IN THESE SIX DAYS
00:08:30.47\00:08:31.77
UNLESS YOU REMEMBER THE SEVENTH
00:08:31.77\00:08:33.94
BECAUSE YOU NEED TO REST WITH ME
00:08:33.94\00:08:35.98
AND TO RECHARGE
YOUR RELATIONSHIP,
00:08:35.98\00:08:38.55
TO GO FORTH AND
DO WHAT I'VE CREATED,
00:08:38.55\00:08:40.38
TO ENJOY YOUR PARADISE."
00:08:40.38\00:08:42.75
IT'S PART OF GOD'S PERFECT PLAN.
00:08:42.75\00:08:44.95
HE MADE A DAY TO NURTURE
00:08:44.95\00:08:46.52
OUR LOVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH HIM.
00:08:46.52\00:08:49.49
"THUS THE HEAVENS AND
THE EARTH WERE FINISHED,
00:08:49.49\00:08:50.96
AND ALL THE HOST OF THEM...
00:08:50.96\00:08:53.23
AND GOD BLESSED THE SEVENTH DAY,
00:08:53.23\00:08:55.36
AND HE SANCTIFIED IT
00:08:55.36\00:08:57.00
BECAUSE IN IT HE HAD
RESTED FROM ALL HIS WORK
00:08:57.00\00:08:59.47
WHICH GOD CREATED AND MADE."
00:08:59.47\00:09:02.00
NOTICE, THERE'S SEVERAL
THINGS THAT HE DID THERE.
00:09:02.00\00:09:04.51
WHAT DAY OF THE
WEEK IS THE SABBATH?
00:09:04.51\00:09:06.07
AND THIS IS WHERE
SOME PEOPLE ARE SURPRISED.
00:09:06.07\00:09:08.61
IS IT THE FIRST DAY? THIRD DAY?
00:09:08.61\00:09:10.55
THE BIBLE SAYS, AND,
NOTICE BACK IN CREATION,
00:09:10.55\00:09:12.68
I'M REPEATING THAT
VERSE HERE IN GENESIS 2
00:09:12.68\00:09:14.88
AND I WANT TO
ACCENTUATE SOMETHING,
00:09:14.88\00:09:17.02
"AND ON THE SEVENTH DAY,
00:09:17.02\00:09:19.05
GOD ENDED HIS
WORK WHICH HE HAD MADE,
00:09:19.05\00:09:21.42
AND HE RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY
00:09:21.42\00:09:23.96
FROM ALL OF HIS
WORK WHICH HE HAD MADE."
00:09:23.96\00:09:25.96
AND IT SAYS THAT "GOD BLESSED
00:09:25.96\00:09:27.13
THE SEVENTH DAY
AND SANCTIFIED IT."
00:09:27.13\00:09:28.96
FIRST TIME IN THE BIBLE
GOD SAYS SOMETHING LIKE THIS,
00:09:28.96\00:09:31.23
A NUMBER THREE TIMES.
00:09:31.23\00:09:32.40
WHAT NUMBER IS IT?
00:09:32.40\00:09:33.47
SEVENTH DAY,
SEVENTH DAY, SEVENTH DAY.
00:09:33.47\00:09:35.37
NOW YOU MAY THINK THIS
IS JUST CAVEMAN THEOLOGY,
00:09:35.37\00:09:37.67
BUT, FOR ME, I THINK
IT'S VERY INTERESTING
00:09:37.67\00:09:39.61
THAT THERE, IN THE
BEGINNING, IN GENESIS, GOD SAYS,
00:09:39.61\00:09:41.98
"SEVEN, SEVEN, SEVEN."
00:09:41.98\00:09:43.18
YOU GET TO THE LAST
BOOK IN THE BIBLE, IT SAYS,
00:09:43.18\00:09:44.81
"YOU DON'T WANT
THE SIX, SIX, SIX."
00:09:44.81\00:09:47.98
IT'S LIKE ONE IS
THE NUMBER OF GOD,
00:09:47.98\00:09:49.48
SIX, IN THE BIBLE,
IS THE NUMBER OF MAN.
00:09:49.48\00:09:52.35
KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR
MAKES A GOLDEN IMAGE
00:09:52.35\00:09:54.76
60 CUBITS BY 6 CUBITS,
00:09:54.76\00:09:58.59
PROBABLY 6 WIDE, 6
DEEP, 60 HIGH, 666.
00:09:58.59\00:10:01.96
HE TELLS EVERYONE, "BOW DOWN."
00:10:01.96\00:10:04.43
HOW HAS GOD DEMONSTRATED
00:10:04.43\00:10:05.73
THE IMPORTANCE
OF HIS HOLY SABBATH?
00:10:05.73\00:10:09.27
IT'S NOT PASTOR DOUG'S SABBATH.
00:10:09.27\00:10:11.41
IT'S NOT THE JEWS'
SABBATH, IT'S GOD'S SABBATH.
00:10:11.41\00:10:15.58
NOTICE HE SAID,
00:10:15.58\00:10:16.61
"REMEMBER THE
SABBATH DAY, TO KEEP IT HOLY.
00:10:16.61\00:10:20.02
THE LORD BLESSED THE SABBATH DAY
00:10:20.02\00:10:21.95
AND HE HALLOWED IT."
00:10:21.95\00:10:23.12
I WAS DOING A
MEETING LIKE THIS ONE TIME,
00:10:23.12\00:10:24.99
AND ONE OF THE
INDIVIDUALS COMING,
00:10:24.99\00:10:26.62
AND A LOT OF THE PEOPLE THERE,
AND THIS PASTOR WAS THERE,
00:10:26.62\00:10:29.82
AND HE INTERRUPTED THE MEETING.
00:10:29.82\00:10:31.76
HE SAID, "BROTHER DOUG,"
HE SAID, "THIS IS LEGALISM.
00:10:31.76\00:10:35.20
YOU'RE PUTTING THESE
PEOPLE UNDER BONDAGE OF WORKS."
00:10:35.20\00:10:38.73
I SAID,
"BROTHER, I'M TELLING THEM
00:10:38.73\00:10:39.83
TO KEEP THE SABBATH COMMANDMENT.
00:10:39.83\00:10:41.14
I'M TELLING THEM TO REST.
YOU'RE TELLING THEM NOT TO.
00:10:41.14\00:10:42.84
YOU'RE TELLING THEM TO WORK.
00:10:42.84\00:10:44.87
I'M SAYING REST." AND HE SAID,
00:10:44.87\00:10:47.81
"WE'RE NO LONGER UNDER THE LAW."
00:10:47.81\00:10:50.68
AND SO HE AND I KIND
OF GOT INTO AN EXCHANGE
00:10:50.68\00:10:52.48
RIGHT DURING THE MEETING AND,
00:10:52.48\00:10:54.45
YOU KNOW, I HAD TO DEAL WITH IT.
00:10:54.45\00:10:55.48
I SAID, "SO DO YOU THINK
00:10:55.48\00:10:58.25
WE SHOULD KEEP
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?"
00:10:58.25\00:10:59.85
HE SAID, "NO." SOME OF
HIS MEMBERS WERE THERE.
00:10:59.85\00:11:02.06
THEY KIND OF
GASPED AND LOOKED AT HIM
00:11:02.06\00:11:03.59
BECAUSE THEY NEVER
HEARD HIM SAY THAT.
00:11:03.59\00:11:04.99
AND THEN HE SAID, "WELL, YES."
00:11:04.99\00:11:06.83
BUT THAT, OF
COURSE, WOULD INCLUDE
00:11:06.83\00:11:07.86
THE FOURTH COMMANDMENT.
00:11:07.86\00:11:09.53
AND THEN HE
SAID, "NINE OF THEM."
00:11:09.53\00:11:13.20
AND SO I SAID, "SO
WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME
00:11:13.20\00:11:15.10
IS THE ONE COMMANDMENT
YOU THINK WE'RE SUPPOSED
00:11:15.10\00:11:17.07
TO FORGET IS
THE ONLY COMMANDMENT
00:11:17.07\00:11:19.04
THAT BEGINS WITH
THE WORD REMEMBER."
00:11:19.04\00:11:22.31
THAT DIDN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME.
00:11:22.31\00:11:25.05
DON'T GO ANYWHERE, FRIENDS,
WE'LL BE BACK IN JUST A MOMENT
00:11:25.05\00:11:27.72
WITH THE REST OF
TODAY'S PRESENTATION.
00:11:27.72\00:11:29.95
ARE YOU WEARY OF THE
NEVER-ENDING 24/7 SCHEDULE
00:11:29.95\00:11:33.25

OR IS THERE SOMETHING BETTER
OUT THERE WAITING FOR YOU?
00:11:39.83\00:11:43.23
WHAT IF I TOLD YOU THAT GOD
HAD ORIGINALLY DESIGNED MANKIND
00:11:43.23\00:11:47.67
TO TAKE REGULAR,
REFRESHING WEEKLY BREAK,
00:11:47.67\00:11:50.81
AND THEN IN DOING THIS,
00:11:50.81\00:11:52.11
YOUR LIFE AND EVEN
YOUR HEALTH WOULD IMPROVE?
00:11:52.11\00:11:55.08
IT'S A BLESSING
CALLED THE SABBATH.
00:11:55.08\00:11:57.68
AND IT CAN CHANGE
YOUR LIFE FOREVER.

LET'S RETURN NOW TO
TODAY'S PRESENTATION
00:12:36.38\00:12:38.79
AND LEARN SOME
MORE AMAZING FACTS
00:12:38.79\00:12:40.89
FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:12:40.89\00:12:43.73
IT SAYS, "REMEMBER THE SABBATH."
00:12:43.73\00:12:44.89
NOTICE IT SAYS, "HE
BLESSED THE SABBATH DAY."
00:12:44.89\00:12:47.30
THERE'S SOME
THINGS HE DID TO THAT DAY.
00:12:47.30\00:12:49.40
IN A SPECIAL WAY HE RESTED,
00:12:49.40\00:12:51.33
HE BLESSED AND HE SANCTIFIED IT.
00:12:51.33\00:12:53.40
HE MADE IT HOLY, AND HE
SPECIFIED A CERTAIN DAY.
00:12:53.40\00:12:56.91
HE DIDN'T SAY
KEEP A SABBATH DAY,
00:12:56.91\00:12:58.24
DID YOU NOTICE THAT?
00:12:58.24\00:12:59.81
IT DOESN'T SAY GOD BLESSED A DAY
00:12:59.81\00:13:01.08
AND YOU JUST PICK
WHERE YOU WANT TO PASTE
00:13:01.08\00:13:02.28
THAT BLESSING LIKE A STAMP.
00:13:02.28\00:13:04.08
GOD SAYS, "I BLESSED THE DAY.
00:13:04.08\00:13:05.61
I'M GOING TO MEET WITH
YOU." WE DON'T PICK OUR OWN DAY.
00:13:05.61\00:13:08.08
IT'S A COMMANDMENT.
00:13:08.08\00:13:09.72
HE DOESN'T SAY A
SEVENTH DAY, THE SEVENTH DAY.
00:13:09.72\00:13:13.46
WHICH DAY DID JESUS KEEP HOLY?
00:13:13.46\00:13:15.26
A CHRISTIAN IS A
FOLLOWER OF CHRIST, RIGHT?
00:13:15.26\00:13:18.39
ARE WE STILL TOGETHER? Yes.
00:13:18.39\00:13:20.53
IT SAYS, "AND HE
CAME TO NAZARETH,
00:13:20.53\00:13:21.93
WHERE HE HAD BEEN BROUGHT
UP, AND, AS HIS CUSTOM WAS,"
00:13:21.93\00:13:26.10
WENT TO HIS
HOMETOWN AND IS CUSTOM
00:13:26.10\00:13:27.47
SOMETHING YOU DO ONCE OR
TWICE OR IT'S A WAY OF LIFE?
00:13:27.47\00:13:29.90
WAY OF LIFE.
00:13:29.90\00:13:30.94
"AS HIS CUSTOM WAS,
00:13:30.94\00:13:32.04
HE WENT INTO THE
SYNAGOGUE ON THE SABBATH DAY,
00:13:32.04\00:13:34.88
AND HE STOOD UP FOR
TO READ THE SCRIPTURES."
00:13:34.88\00:13:36.91
JESUS REGULARLY
WENT TO CHURCH...
00:13:36.91\00:13:39.71
SYNAGOGUE OR CHURCH,
SAME WORD, GATHERING IT MEANS.
00:13:39.71\00:13:42.02
ON THE SABBATH
DAY, READ HIS BIBLE,
00:13:42.02\00:13:44.42
IT'S PROBABLY
STILL A GOOD IDEA FOR US
00:13:44.42\00:13:46.35
TO DO WHAT JESUS DID.
00:13:46.35\00:13:48.72
NOW CAN YOU TELL ME
00:13:48.72\00:13:49.76
WHERE JESUS SAID
NOT TO DO IT ANYMORE?
00:13:49.76\00:13:53.66
WHAT ABOUT THE APOSTLES?
LET'S TAKE PAUL, FOR EXAMPLE.
00:13:53.66\00:13:56.20
HE WROTE NEARLY HALF
OF THE NEW TESTAMENT.
00:13:56.20\00:13:58.60
WHAT WAS PAUL'S CUSTOM
REGARDING THE SABBATH DAY?
00:13:58.60\00:14:02.34
IT SAYS, "PAUL,
AS HIS CUSTOM WAS,
00:14:02.34\00:14:04.51
HE WENT IN TO THEM
AND THREE SABBATH DAYS
00:14:04.51\00:14:07.21
HE REASONED WITH THEM
OUT OF THE SCRIPTURE."
00:14:07.21\00:14:09.48
PAUL HAD A CUSTOM, HE WENT IN,
00:14:09.48\00:14:11.38
NOT JUST WHEN HE
WAS TALKING TO THE JEWS,
00:14:11.38\00:14:14.02
HE ALSO DID IT WITH THE GREEKS.
00:14:14.02\00:14:15.88
IT SAYS, IN ACTS 18:4,
00:14:15.88\00:14:17.79
"HE REASONED IN THE
SYNAGOGUE EVERY SABBATH
00:14:17.79\00:14:20.86
AND PERSUADED THE
JEWS AND THE GREEKS,"
00:14:20.86\00:14:22.79
MEANING THE JEWS
AND THE GENTILES.
00:14:22.79\00:14:24.89
IT WAS SOMETHING
THAT HE DID FOR EVERYBODY.
00:14:24.89\00:14:27.60
SO THIS, I BELIEVE,
WAS A PATTERN YOU'LL SEE
00:14:27.60\00:14:30.07
ALL THROUGH THE TIME OF CHRIST
WITH JESUS, WITH THE APOSTLES.
00:14:30.07\00:14:34.60
DID JESUS INTEND FOR HIS
PEOPLE TO BE KEEPING THE SABBATH
00:14:34.60\00:14:37.81
AFTER HE DIED FOR THEIR SINS
00:14:37.81\00:14:40.44
DOWN THROUGH
HISTORY IN THE LAST DAYS?
00:14:40.44\00:14:43.38
YOU CAN LOOK IN THAT
PROPHECY WHERE JESUS, TALKING
00:14:43.38\00:14:45.61
ABOUT THE END OF
THE WORLD IN MATTHEW 24,
00:14:45.61\00:14:48.02
AND HE'S TALKING
ABOUT THIS TIME OF TROUBLE,
00:14:48.02\00:14:49.88
AND HE SAID,
"PRAY THAT YOUR FLIGHT
00:14:49.88\00:14:52.39
BE NOT IN THE WINTER,
OR ON THE SABBATH DAY."
00:14:52.39\00:14:56.56
WHY IF HIS PEOPLE WERE NOT
KEEPING THE SABBATH ANYMORE,
00:14:56.56\00:14:59.79
THEN WHY WOULD HE SAY THAT?
00:14:59.79\00:15:02.13
EXCEPT MAYBE HE KNEW
THEY WOULD BE KEEPING IT.
00:15:02.13\00:15:05.07
IF YOU LOOK IN REVELATION
14, REMEMBER THE 144,000
00:15:05.07\00:15:08.94
ARE IN REVELATION 14,
IF YOU LOOK IN VERSE 7,
00:15:08.94\00:15:11.87
THERE THE ANGEL DECLARES,
00:15:11.87\00:15:13.24
"WORSHIP HIM WHO MADE THE HEAVEN
00:15:13.24\00:15:16.18
AND THE EARTH, AND THE SEA
00:15:16.18\00:15:18.25
AND THE SPRINGS OF
THE FOUNTAINS OF WATER."
00:15:18.25\00:15:20.72
DO YOU KNOW THAT'S AN EXTRACT
00:15:20.72\00:15:23.28
RIGHT FROM THE
FOURTH COMMANDMENT
00:15:23.28\00:15:24.82
ABOUT THE SABBATH?
00:15:24.82\00:15:26.19
"FOR IN SIX DAYS,
00:15:26.19\00:15:27.32
THE LORD MADE THE
HEAVEN AND THE EARTH
00:15:27.32\00:15:29.46
AND THE SEA."
00:15:29.46\00:15:31.13
AND THEN HE'S...
THE ANGEL'S SAYING,
00:15:31.13\00:15:32.36
"WORSHIP HIM."
00:15:32.36\00:15:33.36
WHAT DO WE DO IN A
SPECIAL WAY ON THE SABBATH?
00:15:33.36\00:15:35.33
IT IS A SPECIAL TIME
OF COLLECTIVE WORSHIP.
00:15:35.33\00:15:37.93
BY THE WAY, I MEET PEOPLE
00:15:37.93\00:15:39.03
AND THEY SAY, "OH, PASTOR DOUG,
00:15:39.03\00:15:40.30
I BELIEVE
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT
00:15:40.30\00:15:41.97
AND I KEEP THE SABBATH DAY.
00:15:41.97\00:15:43.57
I DON'T DO ANY WORK
ON THE SABBATH DAY."
00:15:43.57\00:15:45.41
YOU'D BE SURPRISED
00:15:45.41\00:15:47.21
HOW MANY PASTORS
HAVE COME UP TO ME
00:15:47.21\00:15:49.61
RIGHT HERE IN ORLANDO.
00:15:49.61\00:15:51.18
NEXT WEEK, I'LL BE AT
00:15:51.18\00:15:52.71
WHAT THEY CALL
THE NRB CONVENTION,
00:15:52.71\00:15:54.62
NATIONAL RELIGIOUS
BROADCASTERS CONVENTION,
00:15:54.62\00:15:56.62
A LOT OF DEAR FRIENDS FROM
OTHER CHURCHES AND PASTORS,
00:15:56.62\00:15:59.05
WE KNOW EACH
OTHER, WE'RE FRIENDS.
00:15:59.05\00:16:00.39
THEY KNOW ME, THEY
SEE OUR TV PROGRAMS,
00:16:00.39\00:16:02.52
THEY KNOW WHERE I STAND.
00:16:02.52\00:16:05.53
AND THEY'LL COME TO ME SECRETLY,
00:16:05.53\00:16:06.73
I'M NOT GOING TO
BETRAY ANY OF THEM,
00:16:06.73\00:16:08.43
THEY SAY, "BROTHER DOUG,
00:16:08.43\00:16:09.43
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE RIGHT
ON THAT SABBATH BUSINESS,
00:16:09.43\00:16:10.73
AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW
00:16:10.73\00:16:11.77
I DON'T DO ANY
WORK ON SATURDAY."
00:16:11.77\00:16:13.37
I SAY, "YEAH, BUT DO
YOU GATHER FOR WORSHIP?"
00:16:13.37\00:16:16.54
"WELL, YOU KNOW,
00:16:16.54\00:16:17.61
MY SUNDAY FRIENDS
PROBABLY WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND
00:16:17.61\00:16:19.47
IF I DID THAT."
00:16:19.47\00:16:21.28
BUT, YOU KNOW, THE
BIBLE SAYS, IN LEVITICUS 23,
00:16:21.28\00:16:23.88
"THE SABBATH IS A
HOLY CONVOCATION."
00:16:23.88\00:16:26.92
YOU KNOW WHAT A CONVENTION IS?
00:16:26.92\00:16:28.68
CONVOCATION,
ASSEMBLY, A COMING TOGETHER,
00:16:28.68\00:16:31.69
THE PEOPLE OF GOD
WOULD COME TOGETHER
00:16:31.69\00:16:33.39
TO WORSHIP THE LORD.
00:16:33.39\00:16:34.76
IT'S A TIME TO SPEND
QUALITY TIME WITH GOD.
00:16:34.76\00:16:38.09
DOES THE BIBLE TEACH
THAT GOD'S END-TIME PEOPLE
00:16:38.09\00:16:40.96
WOULD ALSO BE KEEPING
THE SEVENTH-DAY SABBATH HOLY?
00:16:40.96\00:16:44.80
IT SAYS, "THE DRAGON
WAS WROTH WITH THE WOMAN,"
00:16:44.80\00:16:47.57
THIS IS IN
REVELATION CHAPTER 12:17
00:16:47.57\00:16:50.07
"AND HE GOES TO MAKE WAR
00:16:50.07\00:16:51.14
WITH THE REMNANT OF HER SEED"
00:16:51.14\00:16:52.57
AND, HERE, THE TWO
OUTSTANDING CHARACTERISTICS,
00:16:52.57\00:16:54.74
"WHICH KEEP THE
COMMANDMENTS OF GOD
00:16:54.74\00:16:56.85
AND HAVE THE
TESTIMONY OF JESUS CHRIST."
00:16:56.85\00:16:59.71
YOU CAN READ, ALSO,
IN REVELATION 12:14,
00:16:59.71\00:17:02.28
SIMILAR VERSE.
00:17:02.28\00:17:03.62
"HERE IS THE
PATIENCE OF THE SAINTS,
00:17:03.62\00:17:05.42
HERE ARE THOSE THAT
KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD
00:17:05.42\00:17:07.76
AND THE FAITH OF JESUS."
00:17:07.76\00:17:09.99
SO YOU CAN SEE THAT
ALL THROUGH REVELATION.
00:17:09.99\00:17:13.96
NOW EVERYBODY KEEPS
SOME OF THE COMMANDMENTS
00:17:13.96\00:17:16.50
SOME OF THE TIME.
00:17:16.50\00:17:18.23
MOST OF YOU
KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS
00:17:18.23\00:17:19.57
WHEN YOU'RE SLEEPING.
00:17:19.57\00:17:22.37
YOU GO TO PRISON,
YOU'RE GOING TO MEET PEOPLE
00:17:22.37\00:17:23.81
THAT KEEP A LOT
OF THE COMMANDMENTS.
00:17:23.81\00:17:25.87
GOD IS LOOKING FOR PEOPLE
00:17:25.87\00:17:26.94
THAT BELIEVE
ALL OF THEM AND ARE,
00:17:26.94\00:17:28.84
BY THE GRACE OF GOD,
GOING TO DO THEIR BEST
00:17:28.84\00:17:30.98
TO NOT JUST BE
HEARERS BUT DOERS.
00:17:30.98\00:17:33.88
YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE SAYS,
00:17:33.88\00:17:34.92
"WHOSOEVER THEREFORE
SHALL BREAK ONE COMMANDMENT,
00:17:34.92\00:17:37.85
HE IS GUILTY OF ALL."
00:17:37.85\00:17:39.82
SO IF YOU GO TO
THE JUDGE AND YOU SAY,
00:17:39.82\00:17:41.46
"I REALIZE THAT I
KILLED THAT PERSON,
00:17:41.46\00:17:43.22
BUT I KEEP ALL THE
OTHER COMMANDMENTS."
00:17:43.22\00:17:45.99
IS THAT DEFENSE
GOING TO WORK VERY WELL?
00:17:45.99\00:17:47.50
NO.
00:17:47.50\00:17:48.83
YOU KNOW, GOD SAYS,
"LOOK, YOU SHOULD DO YOUR BEST,
00:17:48.83\00:17:51.37
BY THE GRACE OF GOD,
TO KEEP ALL OF THEM."
00:17:51.37\00:17:53.13
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:17:53.13\00:17:54.24
NOW, AGAIN, THEY'RE
NOT THE TEN SUGGESTIONS.
00:17:54.24\00:17:58.21
AND IT SAYS, "BLESSED ARE
THOSE WHO KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS,
00:17:58.21\00:18:01.34
THAT THEY MIGHT EAT
FROM THE TREE OF LIFE,
00:18:01.34\00:18:03.14
AND ENTER THROUGH
THE GATES TO THE CITY."
00:18:03.14\00:18:04.81
THAT, AGAIN, IS
REVELATION 22:14.
00:18:04.81\00:18:08.08
WILL ALL OF THE SAVED
00:18:08.08\00:18:09.18
BE KEEPING THE
SABBATH IN HEAVEN?
00:18:09.18\00:18:10.92
YES. WELL, I THINK SO.
00:18:10.92\00:18:13.66
YOU CAN READ HERE,
00:18:13.66\00:18:14.76
IT SAYS IN ISAIAH
66, VERSES 22 AND 23,
00:18:14.76\00:18:18.56
"FOR AS THE NEW HEAVENS
00:18:18.56\00:18:20.13
AND THE NEW
EARTH, THAT I WILL MAKE,
00:18:20.13\00:18:22.03
WILL REMAIN
BEFORE ME, SAYS THE LORD,
00:18:22.03\00:18:24.43
SO SHALL YOUR NAME
AND YOUR SEED REMAIN.
00:18:24.43\00:18:27.70
AND IT WILL COME TO PASS,
00:18:27.70\00:18:29.37
THAT FROM ONE
SABBATH TO ANOTHER,
00:18:29.37\00:18:31.54
SHALL ALL FLESH COME
TO WORSHIP BEFORE ME."
00:18:31.54\00:18:35.34
IS ALL FLESH JEWS?
00:18:35.34\00:18:37.11
OR DOES ALL
FLESH MEAN EVERYBODY?
00:18:37.11\00:18:38.48
EVERYBODY.
00:18:38.48\00:18:39.58
HE'S TALKING
ABOUT, AS THE NEW HEAVENS
00:18:39.58\00:18:40.92
AND THE NEW EARTH,
THAT'S FUTURE, RIGHT?
00:18:40.92\00:18:44.15
SO IF THEY KEPT IT BACK
00:18:44.15\00:18:46.79
IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN
IN THE DAYS OF ADAM, RIGHT?
00:18:46.79\00:18:50.89
IF WE KNOW MOSES
00:18:50.89\00:18:52.09
AND THE CHILDREN
OF ISRAEL KEPT IT,
00:18:52.09\00:18:54.20
AND THE PEOPLE OF GOD IN
THE OLD TESTAMENT KEPT IT,
00:18:54.20\00:18:56.90
AND JESUS KEPT IT,
AND THE APOSTLES KEPT IT,
00:18:56.90\00:19:00.14
AND WE'RE GOING
TO KEEP IT IN HEAVEN,
00:19:00.14\00:19:02.50
WHY WOULDN'T WE KEEP IT NOW?
00:19:02.50\00:19:06.17
DO WE NEED REST NOW?
00:19:06.17\00:19:08.41
DO WE NEED
QUALITY TIME WITH GOD NOW?
00:19:08.41\00:19:11.95
YOU KNOW, FRIENDS, THIS IS JUST
SUCH A VERY IMPORTANT SUBJECT.
00:19:11.95\00:19:15.28
SOME PEOPLE WOULD BE
THINKING, "OH, PASTOR DOUG,
00:19:15.28\00:19:16.82
YOU'RE MAKING A BIG
DEAL OUT OF ONE COMMANDMENT."
00:19:16.82\00:19:20.69
IT ALWAYS
STRIKES ME AS PECULIAR.
00:19:20.69\00:19:22.99
AND I DIDN'T ALWAYS
BELIEVE THESE THINGS.
00:19:22.99\00:19:24.49
I JUST SAID, "LORD,
I WANT TO BE IN HEAVEN.
00:19:24.49\00:19:26.53
I WANT TO FOLLOW YOUR
WORD. IT'S IN THE BIBLE.
00:19:26.53\00:19:28.70
IT MAY NOT BE POPULAR
BUT I WANT TO BE FAITHFUL."
00:19:28.70\00:19:32.73
I KNOW, FROM WORSHIPING
WITH MY BRETHREN AND SISTREN,
00:19:32.73\00:19:37.31
IN ALL THESE DIFFERENT CHURCHES,
00:19:37.31\00:19:39.44
THAT I COULD GO TO
ALMOST ANY CHURCH IN TOWN
00:19:39.44\00:19:42.34
AND I COULD STAND UP, IF
THEY INVITE ME TO PREACH,
00:19:42.34\00:19:44.08
AND I COULD PREACH A SERMON ON
"HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER"
00:19:44.08\00:19:47.48
AND YOU'D HEAR "AMEN!"
00:19:47.48\00:19:48.58
"AMEN!" THEY'D
NOD, FOLD ARMS, "AMEN!"
00:19:48.58\00:19:50.39
THEY'D LOOK AT
THEIR TEENAGERS, "AMEN!"
00:19:50.39\00:19:52.95
I KNOW BECAUSE I'VE DONE IT.
00:19:52.95\00:19:54.56
I COULD GO AND I
COULD PREACH A SERMON
00:19:54.56\00:19:56.12
ON "THOU SHALL NOT STEAL"
00:19:56.12\00:19:58.09
AND THE FOLKS MIGHT
SQUIRM A LITTLE BIT,
00:19:58.09\00:19:59.46
THEY GO, "AMEN!"
00:19:59.46\00:20:01.53
I COULD TALK ABOUT
00:20:01.53\00:20:03.10
"THOU SHALL NOT
COMMIT ADULTERY,"
00:20:03.10\00:20:04.93
IT GETS QUIET.
00:20:04.93\00:20:07.90
BUT YOU'LL HEAR SOME AMENS.
00:20:07.90\00:20:10.87
I COULD TALK ABOUT "DO
NOT HAVE OTHER GODS BEFORE ME"
00:20:10.87\00:20:13.31
"THOU SHALL NOT TAKE THE
NAME OF THE LORD THY GOD"
00:20:13.31\00:20:15.28
I COULD PREACH ON ALMOST
00:20:15.28\00:20:16.34
ANY OF THE OTHER
NINE COMMANDMENTS
00:20:16.34\00:20:19.08
AND EVERYBODY WOULD SAY, "AMEN!"
00:20:19.08\00:20:21.45
BUT IF YOU HAVE
THE AUDACITY TO SAY,
00:20:21.45\00:20:23.15
"REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY,
00:20:23.15\00:20:24.49
THE SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH,"
00:20:24.49\00:20:25.85
PEOPLE SAY, "OH, NO, NO,
00:20:25.85\00:20:26.96
WE'RE NOT UNDER THE
LAW, WE'RE UNDER GRACE."
00:20:26.96\00:20:30.19
PEOPLE HAVE NO PROBLEM
WITH THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
00:20:30.19\00:20:32.13
UNTIL YOU PRESENT THE ONE
THAT THEY'RE ALL FORGETTING.
00:20:32.13\00:20:34.50
WHY DID GOD SAY REMEMBER?
00:20:34.50\00:20:35.80
BECAUSE HE KNEW WE'D FORGET.
00:20:35.80\00:20:37.07
YEP. YEP.
00:20:37.07\00:20:38.90
THERE'S SOMETHING...
00:20:38.90\00:20:40.00
IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE A
BIBLICALLY HONEST CHRISTIAN,
00:20:40.00\00:20:43.64
THEN AT LEAST SAY, "PASTOR DOUG,
00:20:43.64\00:20:45.57
YOU KNOW, KEEPING THE
SABBATH IS GOING TO BE
00:20:45.57\00:20:46.88
A REAL PROBLEM FOR ME."
00:20:46.88\00:20:47.94
ALL RIGHT, WELL,
LET'S JUST BE HONEST.
00:20:47.94\00:20:49.01
GIVE IT TO GOD,
00:20:49.01\00:20:50.31
BUT DON'T SAY IT DOESN'T MATTER.
00:20:50.31\00:20:51.91
AMEN.
00:20:51.91\00:20:52.95
"NOW THIS IS A
REVELATION PROGRAM
00:20:52.95\00:20:54.55
PROPHECY PROGRAM,
00:20:54.55\00:20:55.55
WHY ARE YOU TALKING
ABOUT THIS, PASTOR DOUG?"
00:20:55.55\00:20:57.42
FOLLOW MY LOGIC. SEE
IF IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
00:20:57.42\00:21:00.66
DANIEL CHAPTER 3,
THE KING MAKES A LAW.
00:21:00.66\00:21:04.66
EVERYBODY'S GOT TO
WORSHIP THE IMAGE OR THEY DIE.
00:21:04.66\00:21:08.66
SHADRACH, MESHACH,
00:21:08.66\00:21:09.76
AND ABEDNEGO WILL
NOT WORSHIP THE IMAGE
00:21:09.76\00:21:11.70
BECAUSE ONE OF
THE COMMANDMENTS SAYS,
00:21:11.70\00:21:13.10
"DON'T DO IT.
00:21:13.10\00:21:14.50
DO NOT MAKE
IMAGES AND BOW DOWN."
00:21:14.50\00:21:17.47
DANIEL CHAPTER 6,
KING DARIUS MAKES A LAW,
00:21:17.47\00:21:21.04
"I AM TO BE YOUR
GOD FOR 30 DAYS,"
00:21:21.04\00:21:23.18
JUST 30 DAYS.
00:21:23.18\00:21:25.38
DANIEL SAYS, "I AM NOT
GOING TO CLOSE MY WINDOWS
00:21:25.38\00:21:27.35
AND STOP PRAYING TO JEHOVAH
00:21:27.35\00:21:30.42
BECAUSE ONE OF
THE COMMANDMENTS SAYS,
00:21:30.42\00:21:31.69
'THOU SHALL NOT
HAVE OTHER GODS.'"
00:21:31.69\00:21:34.56
SO HE GOES TO THE
LION'S DEN. BUT GOD SAVES HIM.
00:21:34.56\00:21:37.96
GOD SAVES SHADRACH
AND MESHACH AND ABEDNEGO
00:21:37.96\00:21:40.43
FROM THE FIERY FURNACE.
00:21:40.43\00:21:41.70
REVELATION 13,
00:21:41.70\00:21:43.30
"WHOEVER DOESN'T
WORSHIP THE BEAST
00:21:43.30\00:21:44.53
AND HIS IMAGE CANNOT BUY OR SELL
00:21:44.53\00:21:47.17
AND WILL ULTIMATELY BE KILLED."
00:21:47.17\00:21:49.74
IF WE DON'T UNDERSTAND
HOW IMPORTANT THE LAW IS,
00:21:49.74\00:21:52.34
THEN HOW ARE WE GOING TO HAVE
THE FAITH OF DANIEL, SHADRACH,
00:21:52.34\00:21:55.34
MESHACH, AND
ABEDNEGO IN THE LAST DAYS?
00:21:55.34\00:21:57.45
WE'RE GOING TO BE LIKE
ALL THE OTHER COMPROMISING,
00:21:57.45\00:21:59.25
WISHY-WASHY PEOPLE
WHO SAY, "LORD, LORD,"
00:21:59.25\00:22:01.85
BUT THEY'RE NOT
REALLY DOING WHAT GOD SAYS.
00:22:01.85\00:22:04.72
SO, YES, IT
DOES MATTER, FRIENDS.
00:22:04.72\00:22:06.55
AND THE DEVIL'S VERY CLEVER.
00:22:06.55\00:22:08.89
BACK IN THE DAYS OF
SHADRACH, MESHACH, AND ABEDNEGO,
00:22:08.89\00:22:12.03
HE SAID, "I'M GOING TO
SEE IF I CAN MAKE A LAW
00:22:12.03\00:22:13.56
AND GET THEM TO BREAK
THE SECOND COMMANDMENT."
00:22:13.56\00:22:16.43
AND THEN, IN THE DAYS OF DANIEL,
00:22:16.43\00:22:18.10
WITH DARIUS, HE SAID,
"I'M GOING TO TRY AND GET THEM
00:22:18.10\00:22:19.67
TO BREAK THE FIRST COMMANDMENT."
00:22:19.67\00:22:21.54
AND HERE WE ARE,
AT THE END OF TIME,
00:22:21.54\00:22:22.84
HE'S GOING TO SAY,
"I'M GOING TO GET THEM
00:22:22.84\00:22:23.91
TO BREAK THE FOURTH COMMANDMENT,
00:22:23.91\00:22:25.41
BUT I'LL BE VERY CLEVER.
00:22:25.41\00:22:26.47
I'LL SAY, 'YEAH, GO TO CHURCH,
00:22:26.47\00:22:27.54
JUST DON'T GO THE SEVENTH DAY.'"
00:22:27.54\00:22:29.81
SEE, GOD, HE KEEPS TRYING TO...
00:22:29.81\00:22:31.48
IT'S LIKE WITH DANIEL, YEAH,
00:22:31.48\00:22:33.31
YOU DON'T HAVE TO
WORSHIP OTHER GODS FOREVER,
00:22:33.31\00:22:34.78
JUST FOR 30 DAYS.
00:22:34.78\00:22:37.55
JUST SHUT YOUR WINDOWS
00:22:37.55\00:22:39.25
AND DON'T LET YOUR
LIGHT SHINE FOR 30 DAYS.
00:22:39.25\00:22:41.69
SEE, THE DEVIL,
HE'S VERY CLEVER,
00:22:41.69\00:22:45.09
BUT A
COMMANDMENT'S A COMMANDMENT.
00:22:45.09\00:22:47.46
CAN WE BE
CERTAIN THAT MODERN DAY,
00:22:47.46\00:22:49.36
WHAT WE CALL SATURDAY,
00:22:49.36\00:22:50.60
IS THE SAME SABBATH
DAY THAT JESUS KEPT?
00:22:50.60\00:22:53.03
PEOPLE SAY, "WELL,
PASTOR DOUG, CALENDARS CHANGE
00:22:53.03\00:22:54.77
AND HOW DO WE
KNOW WHICH DAY IT WAS?"
00:22:54.77\00:22:57.64
READ IN YOUR
BIBLE, IT'S PRETTY CLEAR.
00:22:57.64\00:22:59.57
LOOK IN LUKE, FOR INSTANCE,
CHAPTER 23, GO TO VERSE 54,
00:22:59.57\00:23:04.35
IT'S NEAR THE END OF LUKE.
00:23:04.35\00:23:05.75
IT SAYS, "THE DAY
WHEN CHRIST WAS CRUCIFIED
00:23:05.75\00:23:07.95
WAS THE PREPARATION,"
WHAT WE COMMONLY CALL FRIDAY,
00:23:07.95\00:23:10.42
THEY CALL IT GOOD FRIDAY
"AND THE SABBATH DREW ON...
00:23:10.42\00:23:13.82
AND THEY RETURNED,
00:23:13.82\00:23:14.89
AND PREPARED
SPICES AND OINTMENTS,
00:23:14.89\00:23:16.59
AND RESTED THE SABBATH DAY
ACCORDING TO THE COMMANDMENT."
00:23:16.59\00:23:20.76
NOW LUKE IS A GENTILE.
00:23:20.76\00:23:22.16
WHY WOULD HE SAY
THEY RESTED ON THE SABBATH
00:23:22.16\00:23:23.73
ACCORDING TO THE COMMANDMENT
00:23:23.73\00:23:24.93
IF JESUS TAUGHT THE DISCIPLES
THE SABBATH DOESN'T MATTER?
00:23:24.93\00:23:28.40
HOW CAN ANYONE THINK THAT
THE DISCIPLES DIDN'T THINK
00:23:28.40\00:23:30.61
THE SABBATH WAS IMPORTANT
00:23:30.61\00:23:31.71
BECAUSE IT WAS
SO IMPORTANT TO THEM
00:23:31.71\00:23:33.41
THAT EVEN AFTER JESUS WAS
DEAD AND NO LONGER SPEAKING,
00:23:33.41\00:23:37.25
THEY LOOK AT EACH
OTHER AND THEY SAY,
00:23:37.25\00:23:38.45
"LOOK, THE SUN IS GOING DOWN.
00:23:38.45\00:23:39.85
WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE
TO FINISH EMBALMING HIS BODY
00:23:39.85\00:23:42.55
BEFORE THE SABBATH,
00:23:42.55\00:23:43.59
SO LET'S JUST DO OUR
BEST TO KIND OF WRAP HIM UP.
00:23:43.59\00:23:45.39
WE'LL PUT HIM IN THE TOMB.
00:23:45.39\00:23:46.49
WE WILL COME BACK
SUNDAY MORNING AND FINISH.
00:23:46.49\00:23:48.72
WE'RE GOING TO GO HOME
AND KEEP THE COMMANDMENT."
00:23:48.72\00:23:51.76
SO WHERE DID THE
DISCIPLES EVER GET THE NOTION
00:23:51.76\00:23:53.60
THAT IT DIDN'T MATTER TO JESUS?
00:23:53.60\00:23:55.30
IT WAS SO IMPORTANT TO
THEM AND SO IMPORTANT TO JESUS,
00:23:55.30\00:23:58.67
THEY WOULD NOT EVEN
FINISH THEIR LABOR OF LOVE
00:23:58.67\00:24:01.30
BECAUSE THE
SABBATH WAS APPROACHING.
00:24:01.30\00:24:03.00
AMEN.
00:24:03.00\00:24:05.07
AND THEN ON THE
FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK
00:24:05.07\00:24:06.31
THEY CAME BACK TO FINISH.
00:24:06.31\00:24:07.34
PRAISE GOD, THE ANGELS
HAD ROLLED AWAY THE STONE,
00:24:07.34\00:24:09.94
CHRIST ROSE,
00:24:09.94\00:24:11.15
AND THAT WAS THE
FIRST DAY WHICH WAS WHAT?
00:24:11.15\00:24:13.01
EASTER SUNDAY.
00:24:13.01\00:24:15.05
SO, THERE
YOU'VE GOT IT, FRIENDS,
00:24:15.05\00:24:16.25
YOU'VE GOT FRIDAY
THE PREPARATION DAY,
00:24:16.25\00:24:18.29
SABBATH IS THE DAY.
00:24:18.29\00:24:19.65
DO YOU REALIZE JESUS
DIED JUST BEFORE THE SABBATH
00:24:19.65\00:24:21.62
AND HE RESTED FROM
HIS WORK OF SAVING MAN?
00:24:21.62\00:24:24.19
HE ROSE SUNDAY
MORNING TO CONTINUE HIS WORK
00:24:24.19\00:24:26.56
AS OUR HIGH PRIEST.
00:24:26.56\00:24:27.86
JESUS EVEN KEPT
THE SABBATH IN DEATH.
00:24:27.86\00:24:30.57
YEP.
00:24:30.57\00:24:33.47
WHAT BLESSING IS PROMISED
BY THE SABBATH COMMANDMENT?
00:24:33.47\00:24:38.17
JESUS SAYS, "COME UNTO ME,
00:24:38.17\00:24:39.97
ALL YOU WHO LABOR
AND ARE HEAVY LADEN,
00:24:39.97\00:24:42.71
AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST."
00:24:42.71\00:24:45.35
SO EVERY COMMANDMENT OF GOD,
00:24:45.35\00:24:47.62
YOU'VE GOT THE LETTER OF THE LAW
00:24:47.62\00:24:49.58
AND YOU'VE GOT
THE SPIRIT OF THE LAW.
00:24:49.58\00:24:50.85
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT
THIS BEFORE, RIGHT?
00:24:50.85\00:24:53.29
LETTER OF THE LAW SAYS,
"DON'T COMMIT ADULTERY."
00:24:53.29\00:24:55.69
THE SPIRIT OF THE LAW SAYS,
00:24:55.69\00:24:56.89
"DO NOT BE
THINKING IT IN YOUR HEART."
00:24:56.89\00:24:59.46
LETTER OF THE LAW, "DO
NOT KILL, DO NOT MURDER,"
00:24:59.46\00:25:03.10
IT ACTUALLY SAYS.
00:25:03.10\00:25:04.17
SPIRIT OF THE LAW,
00:25:04.17\00:25:05.23
"DO NOT BE ANGRY
WITH YOUR BROTHER
00:25:05.23\00:25:06.70
OR SISTER WITHOUT A CAUSE."
00:25:06.70\00:25:08.94
LETTER OF THE LAW, "DO
NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS."
00:25:08.94\00:25:11.51
SPIRIT OF THE LAW,
00:25:11.51\00:25:12.54
"LET YOUR YES BE
YES AND YOUR NO BE NO.
00:25:12.54\00:25:14.54
BE HONEST IN YOUR
HEART, IN YOUR COMMUNICATIONS."
00:25:14.54\00:25:17.38
SOME PEOPLE LIE
WITH THEIR BODY LANGUAGE.
00:25:17.38\00:25:19.75
JESUS SAID, "BE HONEST."
00:25:19.75\00:25:21.78
LETTER OF THE LAW,
00:25:21.78\00:25:23.22
"REMEMBER THE
SABBATH DAY TO KEEP IT HOLY."
00:25:23.22\00:25:25.89
SPIRIT OF THE LAW,
00:25:25.89\00:25:27.36
"COME UNTO ME AND I
WILL GIVE YOU REST."
00:25:27.36\00:25:30.03
AND, AS PEOPLE GATHER TOGETHER
00:25:30.03\00:25:31.89
TO WORSHIP GOD
EVERY SABBATH DAY,
00:25:31.89\00:25:35.13
THERE IS A REST THAT COMES.
00:25:35.13\00:25:36.90
IT REMINDS US THAT
HE'S THE GOD WHO CREATED US.
00:25:36.90\00:25:40.90
AND YOU KNOW WHAT THE
SALVATION IS ALL ABOUT?
00:25:40.90\00:25:42.64
"I WILL CREATE A
NEW HEART WITHIN YOU."
00:25:42.64\00:25:45.81
THE BIBLE SAYS, "WE WILL BE..."
00:25:45.81\00:25:47.44
"OLD THINGS ARE PASSED
AWAY, ALL THINGS ARE MADE NEW.
00:25:47.44\00:25:49.71
WE ARE A NEW
CREATION IN CHRIST."
00:25:49.71\00:25:53.01
DO WE STILL NEED
A DAY OF REST TODAY?
00:25:53.01\00:25:55.85
DO WE STILL NEED
A DAY OF WORSHIP?
00:25:55.85\00:25:58.42
THEN DID GOD TELL US
00:25:58.42\00:25:59.52
"I HAVE SET ASIDE AND
BLESSED A PARTICULAR DAY"?
00:25:59.52\00:26:02.82
SHOULD WE SAY,
"GOD, IT'S NOT CONVENIENT
00:26:02.82\00:26:04.69
TO DO IT THE DAY YOU'VE PICKED,
I'M GOING TO PICK MY OWN DAY"?
00:26:04.69\00:26:07.30
WELL, THAT DEPENDS.
WHO'S YOUR GOD, YOU OR HIM?
00:26:07.30\00:26:10.97
DO WE DO WHAT GOD SAYS? AMEN.
00:26:10.97\00:26:13.80
HE SAYS, "I HAVE MADE
AN APPOINTMENT WITH YOU
00:26:13.80\00:26:16.64
ON THE SEVENTH DAY.
00:26:16.64\00:26:17.77
IF YOU LOVE ME, PROVE IT."
00:26:17.77\00:26:20.94
"KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS."
00:26:20.94\00:26:22.21
NOW, BEFORE I GO ANY FARTHER,
00:26:22.21\00:26:23.55
I KNOW SOME
PEOPLE ARE HEARING THIS
00:26:23.55\00:26:24.75
AND YOUR MINDS ARE SPINNING.
00:26:24.75\00:26:26.45
YOU KNOW,
THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS
00:26:26.45\00:26:27.48
YOU COULD TEACH IN
A REVELATION SEMINAR,
00:26:27.48\00:26:29.35
IT'S INTERESTING TRIVIA.
00:26:29.35\00:26:31.92
PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW,
"WELL, YOU KNOW, PASTOR DOUG,
00:26:31.92\00:26:34.19
SO WHEN DOES THIS AGE BEGIN
00:26:34.19\00:26:36.36
AND WHAT DOES THIS
SYMBOL IN REVELATION MEAN?
00:26:36.36\00:26:38.93
AND WHAT DOES THAT SYMBOL MEAN?
00:26:38.93\00:26:40.60
OH, THAT'S VERY
INTERESTING, VERY INTERESTING."
00:26:40.60\00:26:42.86
BUT, YOU KNOW WHAT'S DIFFERENT
ABOUT THIS PRESENTATION?
00:26:42.86\00:26:45.93
WHEN PEOPLE LEARN THE
SABBATH TRUTH, THEY GO,
00:26:45.93\00:26:48.17
"WHOA!
00:26:48.17\00:26:49.54
THAT WOULD
ACTUALLY AFFECT MY TIME.
00:26:49.54\00:26:52.91
THAT WOULD AFFECT MY LIFE.
00:26:52.91\00:26:55.08
THAT WOULD AFFECT MY SCHEDULE."
00:26:55.08\00:26:58.11
YOU KNOW, MY FATHER,
WHEN I WAS GROWING UP,
00:26:58.11\00:26:59.85
HE WAS A MULTI-MILLIONAIRE,
HE HAD A LOT OF MONEY.
00:26:59.85\00:27:02.45
HE WAS ALWAYS BUSY. I
WANTED TIME WITH MY FATHER.
00:27:02.45\00:27:05.69
AND HE'D SAY,
"DOUG, LOOK, I'M BUSY.
00:27:05.69\00:27:07.76
I'VE GOT A LOT I'VE GOT TO
DO. HERE'S $5, GO TO THE MOVIE."
00:27:07.76\00:27:10.76
IT WAS EASIER FOR
HIM TO GIVE ME A TIP
00:27:10.76\00:27:13.46
THAN TO GIVE ME HIS TIME.
00:27:13.46\00:27:15.50
WOW.
00:27:15.50\00:27:16.77
AND, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES YOU GO,
00:27:16.77\00:27:17.90
"LORD, YEP, PRAISE THE
LORD, PRAISE THE LORD."
00:27:17.90\00:27:19.83
BUT WHEN YOU START
GIVING GOD YOUR TIME,
00:27:19.83\00:27:21.74
THAT MEANS HE'S REALLY YOUR GOD.
00:27:21.74\00:27:24.01
AND THAT'S WHY THIS SUBJECT
IS SUCH A SERIOUS SUBJECT,
00:27:24.01\00:27:27.11
BECAUSE IT REALLY HAS
TO DO WITH "IS HE OUR GOD?"
00:27:27.11\00:27:30.31
JESUS SAID, "IF YOU LOVE
ME, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS."
00:27:30.31\00:27:33.35
AND HE WANTS TO
BLESS YOU, FRIENDS, AMEN?
00:27:33.35\00:27:35.55
AMEN.
00:27:35.55\00:27:36.95
NOW, THIS IS A
COMMANDMENT OF GOD.
00:27:36.95\00:27:40.22
HE SAYS,
"REMEMBER THE SEVENTH DAY,"
00:27:40.22\00:27:42.16
NOT "REMEMBER A SEVENTH DAY."
00:27:42.16\00:27:44.26
THIS IS THE SEAL OF GOD
00:27:44.26\00:27:46.06
BECAUSE THERE IN
THE MIDDLE OF GOD'S LAW,
00:27:46.06\00:27:48.63
YOU'VE GOT THE NAME OF
GOD, YOU'VE GOT THE WORD HOLY,
00:27:48.63\00:27:51.80
YOU'VE GOT THE CONTEXT
OF WORSHIP, YOU'VE GOT TIME.
00:27:51.80\00:27:55.14
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
ARE DIVIDED IN TWO PARTS,
00:27:55.14\00:27:58.11
THE FIRST COMMANDMENTS
00:27:58.11\00:27:59.54
DEAL WITH OUR LOVE
RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.
00:27:59.54\00:28:02.14
SECOND GROUP,
COMMANDMENT CHAPTER,
00:28:02.14\00:28:05.31
NUMBER 5 ON THROUGH
10 DEAL WITH OUR LOVE
00:28:05.31\00:28:08.18
FOR OUR FELLOWMAN.
00:28:08.18\00:28:10.09
IN THE MIDDLE OF GOD'S
LAW, THE LONGEST COMMANDMENT,
00:28:10.09\00:28:13.92
IN THE CENTER OF HIS
LAW, THE ONLY COMMANDMENT
00:28:13.92\00:28:16.76
THAT BEGINS WITH
THE WORD REMEMBER
00:28:16.76\00:28:18.96
IS VERY UNIQUE
BECAUSE IT TELLS US
00:28:18.96\00:28:22.16
THAT HE NOT ONLY HAS OUR MINDS,
00:28:22.16\00:28:25.07
HE'S GOT OUR TIME.
00:28:25.07\00:28:27.57
AND THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS.
00:28:27.57\00:28:28.74
HE IS OUR GOD, WE WORSHIP HIM,
00:28:28.74\00:28:30.91
AND HE IS GOING TO
BE FIRST IN OUR LIVES.
00:28:30.91\00:28:32.87
IN SIX DAYS, GOD CREATED
THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH.
00:28:37.18\00:28:41.48
FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS,
00:28:41.48\00:28:42.98
MAN HAS WORSHIPED GOD ON
THE SEVENTH DAY OF THE WEEK.
00:28:42.98\00:28:46.29
NOW, EACH WEEK,
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE
00:28:46.29\00:28:48.72
WORSHIP ON THE FIRST DAY.
00:28:48.72\00:28:50.73
WHAT HAPPENED?
00:28:50.73\00:28:51.99
WHY DID GOD
CREATE A DAY OF REST?
00:28:51.99\00:28:54.40
DOES IT REALLY
MATTER WHAT DAY WE WORSHIP?
00:28:54.40\00:28:57.13
