¤¤¤
00:00:07.97\00:00:14.74
>>JESUS EXPECTED HIS PEOPLE
WOULD STILL KNOW ABOUT THE
00:00:14.78\00:00:17.85
SABBATH IN THE LAST DAYS.
THE CHURCH HAS LARGELY FORGOTTEN
00:00:17.88\00:00:21.65
THE ONE COMMANDMENT
THAT HE SAID 'REMEMBER'.
00:00:21.68\00:00:25.42
¤¤¤
00:00:25.45\00:00:28.42
>>WE'RE SO GLAD TO SEE
EACH OF YOU HERE TONIGHT.
00:00:28.46\00:00:32.03
WE WANT TO WELCOME YOU TO
THE LANDMARKS OF PROPHECY BIBLE
00:00:32.06\00:00:34.00
STUDY SERIES. I
ALWAYS WANT TO WELCOME THOSE
00:00:34.03\00:00:36.83
WHO WE REMEMBER ARE WATCHING
ONLINE OR YOU'RE WATCHING VIA
00:00:36.87\00:00:40.14
SATELLITE TELEVISION AND WE'RE
JUST GLAD THAT YOU COULD BE PART
00:00:40.17\00:00:43.27
OF THIS EPIC
BIBLE STUDY ADVENTURE.
00:00:43.30\00:00:47.28
NOW TONIGHT WE HAVE A VERY
IMPORTANT LESSON THAT IS DEALING
00:00:47.31\00:00:50.78
WITH A SUBJECT THAT IS OF GREAT
INTEREST AMONG CHRISTIANS THESE
00:00:50.81\00:00:54.08
DAYS AND IT DOES HAVE A VERY
IMPORTANT BEARING ON THE ISSUES
00:00:54.12\00:00:58.95
OF PROPHECY. THE
TITLE OF THE LESSON IS
00:00:58.99\00:01:01.69
CALLED THE REST OF OUR
WORK - THE REST OF OUR WORK.
00:01:01.72\00:01:06.53
NOW WE'RE GOING TO BEGIN WITH A
STORY IN YOUR BIBLE THAT'S DRAWN
00:01:06.56\00:01:09.76
FROM THE BOOK OF EXODUS.
IN EXODUS, WE KNOW THAT THE
00:01:09.80\00:01:14.97
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL MIRACULOUSLY
CROSSED OVER THE RED SEA AND
00:01:15.00\00:01:17.67
NOW, AS THEY'RE GOING THROUGH
THE WILDERNESS, THEY HAD A FEW
00:01:17.71\00:01:22.08
TRYING DAYS BETWEEN THE
RED SEA AND MOUNT SINAI.
00:01:22.11\00:01:26.58
THEIR PROVISIONS RAN LOW
AND THEY STARTED TO COMPLAIN.
00:01:26.61\00:01:30.39
GOD SAID, 'LOOK, I'M
GOING TO WORK A MIRACLE FOR YOU.
00:01:30.42\00:01:32.92
HERE'S WHAT I'M GOING TO
DO. I'M GOING TO RAIN DOWN BREAD
00:01:32.95\00:01:35.49
FROM HEAVEN FOR YOU.' -
WHAT DO THEY CALL THAT BREAD?
00:01:35.52\00:01:38.46
>>MANNA. >>MANNA.
00:01:38.49\00:01:40.03
'AND I'M GOING TO DO IT SIX
DAYS A WEEK. GO OUT EARLY IN THE
00:01:40.06\00:01:43.63
MORNING. YOU GATHER IT UP
AND THERE WILL NOT BE ANY ON
00:01:43.67\00:01:48.04
THE SEVENTH
DAY.' WHY? >>SABBATH.
00:01:48.07\00:01:52.87
>>IT WAS THE SABBATH - EVER
SINCE THE GARDEN OF EDEN - AND
00:01:52.91\00:01:55.54
HE SAID, 'GATHER TWICE AS MUCH
ON FRIDAY SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO
00:01:55.58\00:01:59.08
GATHER IT.' AND THEN YOU
CAN READ THERE, THEN MOSES SAID,
00:01:59.11\00:02:01.75
'EAT THAT TODAY FOR TODAY IS
A SABBATH TO THE LORD.' - TODAY
00:02:01.78\00:02:04.95
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO FIND IT IN
THE FIELD.' INTERESTING MIRACLE
00:02:04.99\00:02:07.52
FOR FORTY YEARS. FORTY
YEARS THERE WAS MANNA THAT
00:02:07.56\00:02:10.59
RAINED DOWN SIX DAYS A
WEEK, BUT NONE ON THE SEVENTH.
00:02:10.63\00:02:14.56
NOW SOME PEOPLE SAY THE SABBATH
COMMAND APPEARED AT MOUNT SINAI
00:02:14.60\00:02:20.10
AND IT WAS GIVEN TO THE JEWS
ONLY. YOU NOTICE IT'S EXODUS 16,
00:02:20.14\00:02:23.77
WHERE GOD TELLS THEM ABOUT THE
MANNA COMING SIX DAYS A WEEK?
00:02:23.81\00:02:26.81
THEY HAVEN'T
GOTTEN TO MOUNT SINAI YET.
00:02:26.84\00:02:29.21
THE SABBATH GOES ALL THE
WAY BACK TO THE BEGINNING.
00:02:29.24\00:02:32.88
NOW, PLEASE HEAR
ME VERY CAREFULLY.
00:02:32.91\00:02:35.68
WE'RE GOING TO STUDY THE SUBJECT
OF THE SABBATH TONIGHT AND I'M
00:02:35.72\00:02:39.72
GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW IT IS
AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN PROPHECY.
00:02:39.75\00:02:42.42
FIRST REMEMBER, IN THE
LAST DAYS, THE MARK OF THE BEAST
00:02:42.46\00:02:46.59
COMPELS EVERYBODY TO RECEIVE
A MARK IN THE RIGHT HAND OR THE
00:02:46.63\00:02:50.40
FOREHEAD AND
WHOEVER DOESN'T DO WHAT?
00:02:50.43\00:02:52.57
WORSHIP THE IMAGE OF THE
BEAST SHOULD BE KILLED.' WHOEVER
00:02:52.60\00:02:56.71
DOESN'T WORSHIP. IS
WORSHIP GOING TO BE AN ISSUE
00:02:56.74\00:02:59.77
IN THE LAST DAYS? >>YES.
00:02:59.81\00:03:02.51
>>IN THE VERY FIRST CONFLICT
BETWEEN CAIN AND ABEL, CAIN
00:03:02.54\00:03:07.58
CLAIMED TO WORSHIP GOD,
ABEL CLAIMED TO WORSHIP GOD.
00:03:07.62\00:03:10.92
THEY BOTH BUILT ALTARS.
ONE WORSHIPED GOD THE WAY GOD
00:03:10.95\00:03:13.42
SAID - THAT'S ABEL - CAIN SAID,
'I'M GOING TO DO IT MY OWN WAY.'
00:03:13.46\00:03:16.56
GOD SAID, 'I'M NOT ACCEPTING
YOUR SACRIFICE, BUT I'M
00:03:16.59\00:03:20.50
ACCEPTING THE SACRIFICE
OF ABEL.' CAIN GOT MAD.
00:03:20.53\00:03:23.80
HE PERSECUTED AND KILLED
HIS BROTHER AND IT WAS ALL OVER
00:03:23.83\00:03:27.74
WORSHIP. FROM THE
BEGINNING TO THE END -
00:03:27.77\00:03:31.94
WHAT DID THE DEVIL WANT
FROM JESUS? 'YOU FALL DOWN AND
00:03:31.97\00:03:34.48
WORSHIP ME, I'LL GIVE IT ALL
TO YOU.' IF WE DON'T UNDERSTAND
00:03:34.51\00:03:38.31
THIS SUBJECT AND WE DON'T THINK
THAT'S CONNECTED WITH LAST-DAY
00:03:38.35\00:03:42.18
PROPHECY, FRIENDS,
YOU'RE KIDDING YOURSELF.
00:03:42.22\00:03:44.45
IT IS ALL VERY INTEGRATED - FROM
COVER TO COVER IN THE BIBLE.
00:03:44.49\00:03:47.76
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE THAT
I THINK WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND.
00:03:47.79\00:03:50.59
WELL, THAT'S MY INTRODUCTION AND
NOW WE'RE GOING TO GO INTO THE
00:03:50.63\00:03:53.86
LESSON AND I WANT TO BE GENTLE
AS I SHARE THESE THINGS WITH
00:03:53.90\00:03:57.37
YOU, BECAUSE WHAT I'M SHARING
WITH YOU, I REMEMBER THE FIRST
00:03:57.40\00:03:59.67
TIME I HEARD IT
AND IT REALLY SHOOK ME.
00:03:59.70\00:04:03.00
I THINK IT SHOOK ME BECAUSE
IT WAS SO COMPELLING, BUT I FELT
00:04:03.04\00:04:07.04
LIKE I SHOULD HAVE
KNOWN THESE THINGS.
00:04:07.08\00:04:08.94
ALRIGHT, LET'S GO TO
QUESTION #1 IN YOUR STUDY.
00:04:08.98\00:04:12.18
WHAT DAY OF THE WEEK IS THE
SABBATH - THE BIBLICAL SABBATH?
00:04:12.21\00:04:16.28
BEFORE I GIVE YOU THE ANSWER,
I WANT TO MAKE SOMETHING VERY
00:04:16.32\00:04:21.26
CLEAR. I
BELIEVE THERE ARE LOVING
00:04:21.29\00:04:25.43
SPIRIT-FILLED CHRISTIAN
PEOPLE IN ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT
00:04:25.46\00:04:29.33
DENOMINATIONS. IS THAT CLEAR?
00:04:29.36\00:04:31.07
I COULD START NAMING RELIGIOUS
LEADERS THAT YOU SEE ON TV -
00:04:31.10\00:04:34.50
I'VE MET MANY OF THEM THAT
ARE FRIENDS. I RESPECT THEM.
00:04:34.54\00:04:39.67
THEY RESPECT ME AND WE
RESPECTFULLY MAYBE DISAGREE ON
00:04:39.71\00:04:43.58
SOME THINGS, BUT I
DON'T QUESTION THAT.
00:04:43.61\00:04:46.15
I KNOW THERE ARE GOING TO
BE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN HEAVEN
00:04:46.18\00:04:48.85
THAT MAYBE WENT TO
CHURCH ON THE WRONG DAY.
00:04:48.88\00:04:50.92
BUT THE TRUTH
IS STILL THE TRUTH.
00:04:50.95\00:04:53.05
HERE'S WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS IN
GENESIS 2, VERSES 2 AND 3, "AND
00:04:53.09\00:04:56.89
ON THE SEVENTH DAY GOD ENDED HIS
WORK WHICH HE HAD DONE, AND HE
00:04:56.93\00:05:02.50
RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY FROM
ALL HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD DONE.
00:05:02.53\00:05:06.17
THEN GOD BLESSED THE SEVENTH
DAY..." - THIS IS GENESIS 2.
00:05:06.20\00:05:10.11
THIS IS ABOUT AS FAR BACK AS YOU
CAN GO IN THE BEGINNING OF YOUR
00:05:10.14\00:05:13.81
BIBLE. SO DOES GOD SAY THAT
HE MADE THE SABBATH FOR JEWS?
00:05:13.84\00:05:18.95
HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE IN
THE WORLD WHEN GOD DID THIS?
00:05:18.98\00:05:21.28
>>TWO. >>TWO.
WHAT WERE THEIR NAMES?
00:05:21.32\00:05:23.92
>>ADAM AND EVE. >>ADAM AND EVE.
00:05:23.95\00:05:25.92
YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE SAYS THAT
THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR MAN.
00:05:25.95\00:05:28.49
WHAT ELSE DID GOD MAKE FOR MAN
IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN? WOMAN.
00:05:28.52\00:05:34.10
IT SAYS, 'IT'S NOT GOOD THAT A
MAN SHOULD BE ALONE.' NOW HERE'S
00:05:34.10\00:05:37.43
A QUESTION: DO
WE STILL NEED WOMEN?
00:05:37.47\00:05:39.57
(LAUGHTER) DO WE ALSO
STILL NEED THAT DAY OF REST?
00:05:39.60\00:05:45.14
>>YES. >>THEY'RE
EQUALLY IMPORTANT.
00:05:45.17\00:05:48.14
ALRIGHT, NOW YOU NOTICE
SOMETHING ELSE HERE - IT DOESN'T
00:05:48.18\00:05:52.35
SAY 'AND ON A SEVENTH DAY' - IT
SAYS, 'ON THE SEVENTH DAY.' IS
00:05:52.38\00:05:58.62
THERE A DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN SAYING 'A' AND 'THE'?
00:05:58.65\00:06:01.89
IF I WERE TO JUST CALL OUT TO
THE AUDIENCE NOW AND SAY, 'COULD
00:06:01.92\00:06:04.79
YOU PLEASE BRING ME 'THE' PEN?'
YOU'D LOOK AT EACH OTHER AND
00:06:04.83\00:06:07.86
SAY, 'I WONDER WHO
HAS 'THE' PEN?' RIGHT?
00:06:07.93\00:06:11.03
'THE SPECIAL PEN.' BUT IF I SAY
'BRING ME 'A' PEN, HALF OF YOU
00:06:11.07\00:06:16.00
MIGHT JUMP OUT OF YOUR SEATS AND
GIVE ME A PEN BECAUSE IT DOESN'T
00:06:16.04\00:06:18.41
MATTER WHAT PEN, IT'S ANY PEN.
SO GOD DOESN'T SAY 'REMEMBER
00:06:18.44\00:06:20.58
'A' SEVENTH DAY' HE SAYS,
'REMEMBER 'THE' SEVENTH DAY.'
00:06:20.61\00:06:23.68
IT'S A DEFINITE
ARTICLE. IT'S VERY SPECIFIC.
00:06:23.71\00:06:25.55
HOW HAS GOD DEMONSTRATED THE
IMPORTANCE OF HIS HOLY SABBATH.
00:06:25.58\00:06:29.95
EXODUS CHAPTER 20,
VERSE 8 - MADE IT ONE
00:06:29.98\00:06:33.39
OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:06:33.42\00:06:34.72
IT SAYS, "REMEMBER," - WHY DO
00:06:34.76\00:06:37.63
YOU THINK GOD BEGINS
THAT COMMANDMENT WITH THE WORD
00:06:37.66\00:06:39.29
'REMEMBER'? HE
KNEW WE MIGHT FORGET.
00:06:39.33\00:06:41.16
"REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY TO
KEEP IT HOLY...THE LORD BLESSED
00:06:41.20\00:06:46.94
THE SABBATH DAY AND HALLOWED
IT" - THE BIBLE TELLS US.
00:06:46.97\00:06:50.24
NOW YOU NOTICE THAT GOD DIDN'T
SAY, 'I WANT YOU TO MAKE IT
00:06:50.27\00:06:55.08
HOLY' OR 'PICK A DAY AND MAKE IT
HOLY,' GOD SAYS, 'I HAVE PICKED
00:06:55.11\00:06:58.08
THE DAY AND I MADE IT HOLY AND I
SANCTIFIED IT AND I BLESSED IT.
00:06:58.11\00:07:01.98
I WANT YOU TO ENJOY THOSE
BLESSINGS THAT I PUT INTO THAT
00:07:02.02\00:07:05.35
DAY.' DOES HE SAY 'EVERYBODY
JUST KIND OF PICK YOUR DAY'?
00:07:05.39\00:07:08.76
OR DOES HE SAY THERE IS A DAY
WHERE WE WORSHIP CORPORATELY.
00:07:08.79\00:07:12.86
IT SAYS IN LEVITICUS 23, 'THE
SABBATH IS A HOLY CONVOCATION.'
00:07:12.89\00:07:17.03
YOU KNOW WHAT THE
WORD 'CONVOCATION' MEANS?
00:07:17.07\00:07:18.77
A CONVENING. THEY WERE TO
COME TOGETHER AND WORSHIP GOD.
00:07:18.80\00:07:21.94
HE HAD BLESSED A TIME FOR
THEM. SO THAT'S IMPORTANT.
00:07:21.97\00:07:25.37
NOW I KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF
PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT WILL SAY,
00:07:25.41\00:07:29.91
'PASTOR DOUG, YOU'RE FOCUSING ON
ONE LITTLE THING AND THIS IS NOT
00:07:29.94\00:07:33.21
A BIG ISSUE AND IT DOESN'T
MATTER.' OR, YOU KNOW, 'THE LAW
00:07:33.25\00:07:37.69
WAS NAILED TO THE CROSS' AND -
HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE HEARD SOME
00:07:37.72\00:07:41.82
OF THESE ARGUMENTS BEFORE?
WHEN I FIRST READ THESE THINGS I
00:07:41.86\00:07:45.53
SAID, 'HOW CAN THIS BE RIGHT?
HOW CAN EVERYBODY BE WRONG?
00:07:45.56\00:07:50.70
HOW COULD THE
MAJORITY BE WRONG ABOUT THIS?
00:07:50.73\00:07:53.23
AND THEN I REMEMBER IT WAS THE
MAJORITY, WHEN JESUS CAME THE
00:07:53.27\00:07:56.71
FIRST TIME, THAT
DID NOT ACCEPT HIM.
00:07:56.74\00:07:59.34
MOSES SAID, 'FOLLOW NOT A
MULTITUDE TO DO EVIL.' I SAID,
00:07:59.37\00:08:03.28
'WELL, I'M GOING TO GO ASK SOME
PASTORS.' I WAS A BABY CHRISTIAN
00:08:03.31\00:08:08.05
SO WHEN I FIRST LEARNED THESE
THINGS I WENT TO CHURCH SUNDAY
00:08:08.08\00:08:10.32
LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE, AND I
SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER BECAUSE
00:08:10.35\00:08:12.12
MY MOTHER'S JEWISH AND I
THOUGHT, 'WELL, THERE MUST - I
00:08:12.15\00:08:15.16
HAVEN'T READ THE WHOLE BIBLE,
IT'S A BIG BOOK - SOMEWHERE IN
00:08:15.19\00:08:17.29
THERE IT SAYS THAT GOD CHANGED
IT AND I JUST HAVEN'T FOUND IT
00:08:17.33\00:08:19.23
YET.' SO I WENT TO THE PASTORS
AND I SAID, 'WHY DO WE GO TO
00:08:19.26\00:08:24.67
CHURCH ON SUNDAY IF
SATURDAY IS THE SABBATH?
00:08:24.70\00:08:28.50
AND ONE OF THEM SAID, 'WELL,
THAT'S BECAUSE JESUS ROSE ON THE
00:08:28.54\00:08:33.61
FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK AND THAT
MADE IT THE NEW SABBATH.' AND I
00:08:33.64\00:08:37.08
SAID, 'ALRIGHT, WELL WHERE'S
THE VERSE THAT SAYS THAT?'
00:08:37.11\00:08:38.98
'WELL, THERE'S NOT REALLY A
SPECIFIC VERSE, BUT WE HAVE A
00:08:39.01\00:08:42.28
LONG-STANDING TRADITION.'
HMM...I SAID, 'OH, I'D LIKE MORE
00:08:42.32\00:08:46.19
THAN THAT.' I WENT TO ANOTHER
PASTOR AND I SAID, 'WHY ARE WE
00:08:46.22\00:08:49.59
GOING TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY?'
AND WE'RE NOT EVEN KEEPING
00:08:49.62\00:08:52.89
SUNDAY VERY HOLY. LET'S FACE IT.
00:08:52.93\00:08:55.23
A LOT OF PEOPLE, THEY PUT IN
AN HOUR AND A HALF AT CHURCH AND
00:08:55.26\00:08:58.37
THEN THEY GO TO THE MOVIES,
THEY GO TO THE MALL, THEY GO MOW
00:08:58.40\00:09:00.27
THEIR LAWN, RIGHT?
EVEN AMONG PEOPLE THAT DON'T
00:09:00.30\00:09:04.27
KEEP THE SEVENTH DAY, NOT VERY
MANY PEOPLE ARE KEEPING IT HOLY.
00:09:04.31\00:09:06.51
AND I REMEMBER ONE PASTOR SAID,
'WELL, PASTOR DOUG, WE DON'T
00:09:06.54\00:09:10.85
NEED TO KEEP IT, IT'S PART OF
THE LAW AND IT'S ALL NAILED TO
00:09:10.88\00:09:14.25
THE CROSS.' I
SAID, 'DO WE KEEP THE TEN
00:09:14.28\00:09:17.49
COMMANDMENTS OR NOT?' I
WAS DOING A MEETING LIKE THIS
00:09:17.52\00:09:20.42
ONE TIME AND A PASTOR
CAME AND HE INTERRUPTED ME.
00:09:20.46\00:09:22.62
HE SAID, 'PASTOR DOUG, YOU'RE
PUTTING THESE PEOPLE UNDER
00:09:22.66\00:09:26.16
BONDAGE BY TEACHING THE LAW.'
AND I SAID, 'DO YOU BELIEVE
00:09:26.19\00:09:30.17
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO
KEEP THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?'
00:09:30.20\00:09:32.40
HE SAID, 'NO.' WELL, SOME OF
HIS MEMBERS WERE THERE AND THEY
00:09:32.43\00:09:35.54
LOOKED AT HIM LIKE - BECAUSE,
YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW,
00:09:35.57\00:09:39.24
YOU DON'T KILL, DON'T LIE, DON'T
STEAL, AND SO HE HAD NO PROBLEM
00:09:39.27\00:09:41.88
WITH THE OTHERS.
00:09:41.91\00:09:43.41
AND THEN HE SAID, 'WELL, YES.'
BUT THEN, YOU KNOW, IT'S PART OF
00:09:43.45\00:09:46.98
A COMPLETE PACKAGE - IT'S RIGHT
IN THE MIDDLE - AND THEN HE
00:09:47.02\00:09:50.45
SAID, 'NINE OF THEM.' AND I
SAID, 'SO BROTHER, YOU'RE SAYING
00:09:50.49\00:09:55.29
THAT THE ONE COMMANDMENT
THAT GOD BEGINS WITH THE WORD
00:09:55.32\00:09:57.79
'REMEMBER' IS THE ONLY
ONE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO FORGET?'
00:09:57.83\00:10:02.40
I SAID, 'THAT DIDN'T MAKE
SENSE.' BUT, I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT
00:10:02.43\00:10:06.10
CONVINCED ME IS I ASKED TEN
PASTORS, I GOT TWELVE DIFFERENT
00:10:06.13\00:10:08.60
ANSWERS - THEY
WERE ALL DIFFERENT.
00:10:08.64\00:10:10.54
I SAID, 'SOMETHING'S WRONG HERE.
WE DON'T HAVE A GOOD BIBLICAL
00:10:10.57\00:10:12.71
REASON.' GOD DID
SOMETHING SPECIAL ON THIS DAY.
00:10:12.74\00:10:16.14
IT SAYS THREE, IN
PARTICULAR, THINGS.
00:10:16.18\00:10:18.68
IT SAYS GOD RESTED THAT DAY, GOD
BLESSED THAT DAY, GOD SANCTIFIED
00:10:18.71\00:10:25.69
THE SEVENTH DAY. HE'S GOD.
YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT HE GETS
00:10:25.72\00:10:29.46
TO MAKE THE RULES.
WHICH DAY DID JESUS KEEP HOLY?
00:10:29.49\00:10:34.20
ALRIGHT, YOU READ HERE IN LUKE
CHAPTER 4, VERSE 16 - THIS IS IN
00:10:34.23\00:10:38.03
THE NEW TESTAMENT - "SO HE CAME
TO NAZARETH, WHERE HE HAD BEEN
00:10:38.07\00:10:42.04
BROUGHT UP. AND AS HIS
CUSTOM WAS," - WHAT'S A CUSTOM?
00:10:42.07\00:10:45.91
SOMETHING YOU DO ONCE OR
SOMETHING THAT'S A PATTERN?
00:10:45.94\00:10:49.48
>>PATTERN. >>IT WAS
CUSTOMARY - SOMETHING
00:10:49.51\00:10:51.55
HE ALWAYS DID. "AS HIS CUSTOM
WAS, HE WENT INTO THE SYNAGOGUE
00:10:51.58\00:10:54.88
ON THE SABBATH DAY, AND STOOD
UP TO READ." JESUS WENT TO THE
00:10:54.92\00:10:59.32
SYNAGOGUE ON THE SABBATH
AND HE READ THE SCRIPTURES.
00:10:59.35\00:11:00.96
IT WAS A CUSTOM OF HIS
LIFE - A HABIT - A PRACTICE.
00:11:00.99\00:11:04.73
NOT ONLY WAS IT THE PRACTICE OF
JESUS, AND HE'S OUR EXAMPLE, IT
00:11:04.76\00:11:09.06
WAS A PRACTICE OF
THE APOSTLES AS WELL.
00:11:09.10\00:11:12.90
WHAT WAS PAUL'S CUSTOM
REGARDING THE SABBATH DAY?
00:11:12.93\00:11:16.14
PAUL, ONE OF THE GREAT - ABOUT
HALF OF THE NEW TESTAMENT YOU'RE
00:11:16.17\00:11:18.64
HOLDING WAS WRITTEN BY
PAUL. WHAT WAS HIS PATTERN?
00:11:18.67\00:11:22.21
ACTS 17, VERSE 2, "THEN PAUL,
AS HIS MANNER WAS, WENT IN UNTO
00:11:22.24\00:11:28.78
THEM, AND THREE SABBATH DAYS
REASONED WITH THEM OUT OF THE
00:11:28.82\00:11:32.15
SCRIPTURES," - YOU CAN JUMP
TO ACTS 18, VERSE 4 AND IT SAYS,
00:11:32.19\00:11:36.46
"HE REASONED IN THE SYNAGOGUE
EVERY SABBATH, AND PERSUADED THE
00:11:36.49\00:11:41.50
JEWS AND THE GREEKS." -
JEWS AND GENTILES - SOME
00:11:41.53\00:11:43.97
PEOPLE SAY, 'WELL PAUL WENT
THERE BECAUSE HE WAS JUST TRYING
00:11:44.00\00:11:47.34
TO REACH THE JEWS.' BUT IT SAYS
EVEN WHEN THE JEWS DIDN'T COME,
00:11:47.37\00:11:50.34
HE'D GO AND HE'D
SPEAK TO THE GENTILES.
00:11:50.37\00:11:52.54
IN FACT, BEFORE PAUL WAS
PAUL HE HAD ANOTHER NAME.
00:11:52.57\00:11:55.01
YOU KNOW WHAT IT WAS? >>SAUL.
00:11:55.04\00:11:56.38
>>SAUL - BEFORE HE WAS CONVERTED
HE WENT BY THE NAME SAUL AND HE
00:11:56.41\00:12:01.52
WAS OUT GATHERING AND
PERSECUTING, ARRESTING, KILLING
00:12:01.55\00:12:04.85
CHRISTIANS, RIGHT? YOU
KNOW WHERE THE BIBLE SAYS HE
00:12:04.89\00:12:08.36
WENT TO LOOK FOR
THEM? IT SAYS HE WENT TO THE
00:12:08.39\00:12:10.76
SYNAGOGUES TO FIND
THE CHRISTIANS. WHY?
00:12:10.79\00:12:13.80
BECAUSE THEY WERE MEETING
THE SAME DAYS THAT THE JEWS WERE
00:12:13.83\00:12:16.70
MEETING. THE EARLY
CHRISTIAN CHURCH ALL
00:12:16.73\00:12:19.50
WERE KEEPING THE SABBATH.
HOW IMPORTANT DO YOU THINK ONE
00:12:19.53\00:12:23.91
OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
WAS TO THE JEWISH NATION?
00:12:23.94\00:12:27.61
WHEN THE CHRISTIANS ACCEPTED
JESUS - GENTILE AND JEW - THEY
00:12:27.64\00:12:32.45
ARGUED OVER CIRCUMCISION; THEY
ARGUED OVER THE FEAST DAYS AND A
00:12:32.48\00:12:36.89
NUMBER OF THINGS. YOU
DON'T FIND ANY ARGUMENT OVER
00:12:36.92\00:12:40.02
THE SUBJECT OF WHETHER OR NOT
WE'RE GOING TO KEEP THE SABBATH.
00:12:40.06\00:12:43.22
EVERY TIME JESUS HAD A DISPUTE
OVER THE SABBATH, IT WASN'T
00:12:43.26\00:12:46.06
WHETHER OR NOT TO KEEP
IT, IT WAS HOW TO KEEP IT.
00:12:46.09\00:12:49.60
>> DON'T GO ANYWHERE,
FRIENDS, IN JUST A MOMENT,
00:12:49.63\00:12:51.90
WE'LL RETURN FOR THE
REST OF TODAY'S PRESENTATION.
00:12:51.93\00:12:54.80
HAVE YOU EVER FORGOTTEN
YOUR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY? OUCH.
00:12:54.84\00:12:58.17
OR SOME OTHER SPECIAL OCCASION?
00:12:58.21\00:13:00.31
WELL, YOU KNOW, IT CAN
FEEL A LITTLE EMBARRASSING
00:13:00.34\00:13:02.38
WHEN FRIENDS
FORGET YOUR BIRTHDAY.
00:13:02.41\00:13:04.58
SO, WHAT IF I TOLD YOU THAT
THERE IS A SPECIAL DAY FOR GOD
00:13:04.61\00:13:08.38
THAT NEARLY THE
ENTIRE WORLD HAS FORGOTTEN?
00:13:08.42\00:13:11.12
IN FACT, IT'S ONE OF
THE MOST SIGNIFICANT DAYS
00:13:11.15\00:13:14.06
IN HUMAN HISTORY.
00:13:14.09\00:13:15.46
AND FORGETTING IT CAN
PROFOUNDLY AFFECT YOUR LIFE.
00:13:15.49\00:13:18.86
WOULDN'T YOU WANT TO
KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS DAY?
00:13:18.89\00:13:21.30

WELL, LET'S GET BACK TO THE
REST OF TODAY'S PRESENTATION
00:13:49.66\00:13:52.39
AND LEARN SOME
MORE AMAZING FACTS
00:13:52.43\00:13:53.83
FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:13:53.86\00:13:55.90
>> HE SAID, 'THE SABBATH IS FOR
DOING GOOD, NOT FOR DOING EVIL.'
00:13:56.56\00:13:58.90
HE HEALED SOMEBODY, RIGHT?
HE NEVER SAID, 'DON'T KEEP THE
00:13:58.93\00:14:01.60
SABBATH ANYMORE.' JESUS, AS
HIS CUSTOM WAS, HE WENT INTO THE
00:14:01.64\00:14:04.97
SYNAGOGUE. THE
BIBLE IS SO CLEAR - THINK
00:14:05.01\00:14:07.64
ABOUT IT - WHEN GOD GAVE
THE LAW, HOW CLEARLY DID HE
00:14:07.68\00:14:11.68
ADVERTISE IT? HE
GATHERS THE WHOLE NATION,
00:14:11.71\00:14:15.25
FROM THIS DIVINE MEGAPHONE ON
THE TOP OF MOUNT SINAI HE, WITH
00:14:15.28\00:14:18.79
HIS OWN VOICE, ANNOUNCES THE
TEN COMMANDMENTS TO THE PEOPLE.
00:14:18.82\00:14:23.46
HE THEN SAYS,
'EVERYONE GOT THAT?' 'WE GOT IT!
00:14:23.49\00:14:25.49
ALL THE LORD HAS SAID WE WILL
DO.' HE SAYS, 'NOW I'M GOING TO
00:14:25.53\00:14:26.93
WRITE IT DOWN.' HE WRITES IT.
MOSES GETS MAD, HE BREAKS THOSE.
00:14:26.96\00:14:30.80
GOD SAYS, 'MOSES, I CUT OUT THE
FIRST STONES, YOU CUT OUT THE
00:14:30.83\00:14:33.54
NEXT STONES, BUT I'M WRITING IT
BACK DOWN AGAIN.' MOSES BRINGS
00:14:33.57\00:14:35.60
UP SOME MORE STONES, GOD
WRITES IT DOWN AGAIN. WHY?
00:14:35.64\00:14:38.74
'HEAVEN AND
EARTH WILL PASS AWAY.
00:14:38.77\00:14:40.58
MY WORD WILL NOT PASS
AWAY.' HE WROTE IT IN STONE.
00:14:40.61\00:14:43.58
IF GOD WAS GOING TO CHANGE ONE
OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, DON'T
00:14:43.61\00:14:47.02
YOU THINK THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN
A REALLY HOT TOPIC IN THE NEW
00:14:47.05\00:14:50.35
TESTAMENT? >>AMEN.
00:14:50.39\00:14:52.02
>>OH, THERE WOULD HAVE
BEEN INCREDIBLE DEBATE AND
00:14:52.05\00:14:53.86
DISCUSSION. IT WOULD
HAVE BEEN VERY CLEAR.
00:14:53.89\00:14:55.52
ALL OF THE APOSTLES
WOULD HAVE ADDRESSED IT.
00:14:55.56\00:14:57.76
BUT THEY DON'T BECAUSE IT WAS AN
UNDERSTOOD TRUTH. IT'S LIKE OUR
00:14:57.79\00:15:02.43
FOUNDING FATHERS SAID -
CERTAIN THINGS ARE SELF-EVIDENT.
00:15:02.46\00:15:05.57
AND FOR ALL OF THE EARLY
CHRISTIANS, IT WAS SELF-EVIDENT
00:15:05.60\00:15:08.24
THAT THEY KEPT THE SABBATH
DAY. WHY WOULD GOD CHANGE IT?
00:15:08.27\00:15:12.17
WHAT WAS WRONG
WITH THE SEVENTH DAY?
00:15:12.21\00:15:13.78
DO GENTILE CHRISTIANS
NOT NEED WORSHIP AND REST?
00:15:13.81\00:15:17.91
'PASTOR DOUG, DOESN'T IT SAY
IN COLOSSIANS CHAPTER 2, 'LET NO
00:15:17.95\00:15:21.65
MAN JUDGE YOU CONCERNING MEAT
OR DRINK OR NEW MOONS OR SABBATH
00:15:21.68\00:15:25.59
DAYS, WHICH ARE SHADOWS'?
LOOK AT THAT, MY BIBLE JUST
00:15:25.62\00:15:28.29
TURNED TO IT - COLOSSIANS
CHAPTER 2 - YOU READ IN VERSE
00:15:28.32\00:15:31.16
13, "AND YOU BEING DEAD
IN YOUR TRESPASSES AND THE
00:15:31.19\00:15:35.70
UNCIRCUMCISION OF YOUR
FLESH, HE HAS MADE ALIVE" -
00:15:35.73\00:15:38.50
NOTICE PAUL USES THE WORD
'CIRCUMCISION' THERE SO IT TELLS
00:15:38.53\00:15:40.34
YOU WHAT THE TOPIC IS. "HE
HAS MADE ALIVE TOGETHER WITH
00:15:40.37\00:15:43.07
HIM HAVING FORGIVEN ALL YOUR
TRESPASSES; HAVING WIPED OUT THE
00:15:43.10\00:15:46.51
HANDWRITING" - TEN COMMANDMENTS,
WERE THEY WRITTEN, LIKE THE LAW
00:15:46.54\00:15:50.61
OF MOSES, ON PAPER BY HAND OR
BY THE FINGER OF GOD IN STONE?
00:15:50.65\00:15:54.28
THERE WAS - THE CEREMONIAL LAW
WAS WRITTEN BY MOSES - "HAVING
00:15:54.32\00:15:57.79
WIPED OUT THE HANDWRITING OF
REQUIREMENTS THAT WAS AGAINST
00:15:57.82\00:16:01.12
US" - WHEN MOSES WROTE THE
CEREMONIAL LAW HE PUT IT IN THE
00:16:01.16\00:16:04.66
OUTSIDE OF THE ARK IN A POCKET
AND HE SAID, 'THIS WILL BE A
00:16:04.69\00:16:07.36
WITNESS AGAINST YOU.' HE
DIDN'T SAY THAT ABOUT THE TEN
00:16:07.40\00:16:10.33
COMMANDMENTS. "THE
HANDWRITING OF ORDINANCE
00:16:10.37\00:16:12.83
THAT WAS AGAINST US, TAKING
IT OUT OF THE WAY, NAILING IT TO
00:16:12.87\00:16:16.54
THE CROSS." AND
THEN I'LL JUMP DOWN.
00:16:16.57\00:16:19.37
HE SAYS IN VERSE 16, "SO LET
NO ONE JUDGE YOU IN FOOD OR IN
00:16:19.41\00:16:23.61
DRINK, OR REGARDING OF A
FESTIVAL, OR A NEW MOON, OR
00:16:23.65\00:16:26.15
SABBATHS, WHICH ARE A
SHADOW OF THINGS TO COME."
00:16:26.18\00:16:30.25
PEOPLE SAY, 'SEE, DON'T LET
ANYONE JUDGE YOU REGARDING THE
00:16:30.29\00:16:32.22
SABBATH.' THEY'RE NOT READING IT
HONESTLY. THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT
00:16:32.25\00:16:35.86
KINDS OF SABBATHS IN THE BIBLE.
THERE WAS THE SABBATH OF THE TEN
00:16:35.89\00:16:39.13
COMMANDMENTS AND THERE WERE THE
ANNUAL FEAST DAY SABBATHS - ONE
00:16:39.16\00:16:43.23
CAME WEEKLY, THE OTHERS
WERE WRITTEN ON PAPER - THE TEN
00:16:43.26\00:16:46.67
COMMANDMENTS WAS
WRITTEN ON STONE.
00:16:46.70\00:16:48.70
ONE WAS PART OF WORSHIP FOR
EVERYBODY, THE OTHERS ORIGINATED
00:16:48.74\00:16:52.21
AFTER THE EXODUS AND
THEY ENDED AT THE CROSS.
00:16:52.24\00:16:54.94
THEY WERE SHADOWS TO
HELP US RECOGNIZE JESUS.
00:16:54.98\00:16:58.21
AND SO PEOPLE WILL POINT TO THAT
AND THEY'LL SAY, 'SEE, WE DON'T
00:16:58.25\00:17:01.22
HAVE TO - DON'T LET ANYONE
JUDGE YOU ABOUT THE SABBATH.
00:17:01.25\00:17:03.22
YOU DON'T HAVE TO KEEP A
SABBATH.' THAT'S A VERY POOR
00:17:03.25\00:17:06.82
EXEGESIS OF THE BIBLE,
WHEN THEY USE IT THAT WAY.
00:17:06.86\00:17:08.99
BUT SOMEONE'S GOING
TO BRING THAT TO YOU.
00:17:09.02\00:17:11.06
SOMEONE ELSE IS GOING TO POINT
OUT ROMANS 14, WHERE IT SAYS,
00:17:11.09\00:17:14.23
'ONE MAN REGARDS ONE DAY ABOVE
ANOTHER; ANOTHER MAN REGARDS
00:17:14.30\00:17:16.50
EVERY DAY ALIKE. LET
EVERY MAN BE PERSUADED IN
00:17:16.53\00:17:18.87
HIS OWN MIND.' THE
WORD 'SABBATH' NEVER EVEN
00:17:18.90\00:17:21.30
APPEARS IN THE CHAPTER.
PAUL IS TALKING ABOUT THESE
00:17:21.34\00:17:23.81
ANNUAL FEASTS THAT THEY WERE
BEING TOLD THEY HAD TO KEEP.
00:17:23.84\00:17:26.61
PAUL SAYS, 'LOOK, IF YOU WANT
TO KEEP THE DAY, KEEP IT TO THE
00:17:26.64\00:17:28.61
LORD.' PEOPLE COME TO ME
AND THEY SAY, 'ARE CHRISTIANS
00:17:28.64\00:17:31.61
REQUIRED TO OBSERVE CHRISTMAS?'
I SAY, 'NO, THERE'S NO COMMAND.
00:17:31.65\00:17:36.25
IF YOU'RE GOING TO REMEMBER IT,
KEEP JESUS IN IT' - DO IT UNTO
00:17:36.28\00:17:39.72
THE LORD - 'IF YOU'RE NOT, THEN
YOU'RE NOT.' BUT NO, THERE'S NO
00:17:39.75\00:17:43.69
COMMAND - 'THOU SHALT REMEMBER
CHRISTMAS.' YOU ALL KNOW IT'S
00:17:43.73\00:17:46.76
PROBABLY NOT THE 25TH WHEN JESUS
WAS BORN, BUT THAT'S AS GOOD A
00:17:46.80\00:17:50.13
TIME AS ANY TO
REMEMBER HIS BIRTHDAY.
00:17:50.17\00:17:52.47
ASK ME A QUESTION ABOUT THAT.
SO YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR THESE
00:17:52.50\00:17:54.60
ARGUMENTS, BUT I PRAY
THAT YOU'LL HEAR IT OUT.
00:17:54.64\00:17:57.84
ASK ANY QUESTION YOU WANT,
WE'LL BE WILLING TO ANSWER THEM.
00:17:57.87\00:18:00.54
ALRIGHT, BACK TO OUR STUDY.
DID JESUS INTEND FOR HIS PEOPLE
00:18:00.58\00:18:05.98
TO KEEP THE SABBATH
AFTER HE DIED FOR THEIR SINS?
00:18:06.01\00:18:09.55
LISTEN TO THE PROPHECY NOW
THAT JESUS GIVES IN MATTHEW 24.
00:18:09.58\00:18:13.42
SPEAKING OF THE SECOND COMING HE
SAID - AND THE TIME OF TROUBLE
00:18:13.46\00:18:17.29
AT THE END - HE SAID, 'PRAY
THAT YOUR FLIGHT BE NOT IN THE
00:18:17.33\00:18:20.56
WINTER" - AND HE'S NOT TALKING
ABOUT CATCHING A PLANE OUT OF
00:18:20.60\00:18:22.53
DENVER - HE SAYS, 'PRAY
THAT YOUR FLIGHT BE NOT IN THE
00:18:22.56\00:18:26.03
WINTER' - HE'S TALKING ABOUT
FLEEING FOR YOUR LIVES BECAUSE
00:18:26.07\00:18:28.20
IT SAYS 'THOSE THAT BE IN JUDEA
FLEE INTO THE MOUNTAINS.' IN THE
00:18:28.24\00:18:31.51
LAST DAYS, WHEN THERE'S THIS
GREAT TRIBULATION, GOD'S PEOPLE
00:18:31.54\00:18:34.01
WILL AGAIN HAVE TO FLEE.
THOSE - HE SAID, 'PRAY YOUR
00:18:34.04\00:18:37.28
FLIGHT IS NOT IN THE WINTER OR
ON THE SABBATH DAY.' WHY WOULD
00:18:37.31\00:18:40.92
JESUS SAY THAT EXCEPT JESUS
EXPECTED HIS PEOPLE WOULD STILL
00:18:40.95\00:18:44.89
KNOW ABOUT THE
SABBATH IN THE LAST DAYS.
00:18:44.92\00:18:48.02
EVEN THOUGH THEY MAY HAVE
FORGOTTEN FOR A WHILE, BEFORE HE
00:18:48.06\00:18:50.99
COMES BACK THERE'S GOING TO BE
A GREAT REVIVAL AND GOD'S PEOPLE
00:18:51.03\00:18:53.66
ARE GOING TO COME BACK TOGETHER
ON THE BIBLE - BEFORE JESUS
00:18:53.70\00:18:56.53
COMES BACK. >>AMEN.
00:18:56.56\00:18:58.33
>>THIS TRUTH THAT I'M SHARING
WITH YOU, I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE.
00:18:58.37\00:19:01.37
IT'S GOING ALL OVER THE
WORLD AND I AM MEETING BAPTISTS,
00:19:01.40\00:19:04.77
PENTECOSTAL, METHODIST -
CHRISTIANS FROM ALL DIFFERENT
00:19:04.81\00:19:07.88
FAITHS THAT ARE TALKING TO THEIR
PEOPLE - MATTER OF FACT, RIGHT
00:19:07.91\00:19:10.78
UP THE STREET FROM OUR OFFICE IN
CALIFORNIA, A LARGE CHURCH WITH
00:19:10.81\00:19:13.18
SEVERAL THOUSAND PEOPLE, THEY
LEARNED THE TRUTH ON THIS AND
00:19:13.21\00:19:15.75
THEY'RE MEETING
TWO DAYS A WEEK NOW.
00:19:15.78\00:19:19.72
YOU PROBABLY KNOW SOME OTHER
EVANGELICAL CHURCHES THAT ARE
00:19:19.75\00:19:22.46
NOW HAVING SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY MEETINGS BECAUSE THEY'RE
00:19:22.49\00:19:25.83
LEARNING THESE THINGS. WE
NEED TO GET BACK TO WHAT THE
00:19:25.86\00:19:28.26
BIBLE SAYS, FRIENDS.
AND IT'S NOT JUST GOING TO
00:19:28.30\00:19:29.83
CHURCH, WE NEED TO LEARN
ABOUT KEEPING A DAY HOLY.
00:19:29.86\00:19:33.30
WHAT IT MEANS TO REST.
DOES THE BIBLE TEACH THAT GOD'S
00:19:33.34\00:19:37.21
END-TIME PEOPLE WOULD ALSO KEEP
HIS SEVENTH-DAY SABBATH HOLY?
00:19:37.24\00:19:42.24
LET'S SEE WHAT IT SAYS HERE
IN REVELATION - ANOTHER PROPHECY
00:19:42.28\00:19:45.01
SCRIPTURE - AND THE DRAGON -
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE,
00:19:45.05\00:19:47.85
WHO'S THE DRAGON? >>THE DEVIL.
00:19:47.88\00:19:49.75
>>'THE DEVIL WAS WROTH'
- WE'RE USING KING JAMES.
00:19:49.78\00:19:52.42
THAT'S OLD ENGLISH. THAT MEANS
'INFURIATED' WITH THE WOMAN.
00:19:52.45\00:19:56.12
WHICH WOMAN IS
THE DRAGON WROTH WITH?
00:19:56.16\00:19:57.96
>>THE CHURCH.
>>CHURCH, GOOD CHURCH OR BAD
00:19:57.99\00:19:59.29
CHURCH? >>GOOD CHURCH.
00:19:59.33\00:20:00.70
>>THE FACT THAT THE DEVIL'S
MAD AT HER MEANS SHE'S THE GOOD
00:20:00.73\00:20:02.43
CHURCH, RIGHT? 'AND
HE WENT TO MAKE WAR WITH
00:20:02.46\00:20:06.03
THE REMAINDER - OR THE REMNANT
- OF HER SEED THAT' - DO WHAT?
00:20:06.07\00:20:10.21
- 'KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD
AND THEY HAVE THE TESTIMONY OF
00:20:10.24\00:20:14.61
JESUS.' NOW DOES THAT MEAN
KEEP SOME OF THE COMMANDMENTS?
00:20:14.64\00:20:19.55
EVERYBODY - YOU'LL HEAR MY
TESTIMONY TOMORROW MORNING.
00:20:19.58\00:20:22.55
I'VE BEEN IN JAIL SEVERAL TIMES
AND EVERYBODY I EVER MET IN JAIL
00:20:22.58\00:20:25.82
KEEPS SOME OF THE
COMMANDMENTS SOME OF THE TIME.
00:20:25.85\00:20:27.56
(LAUGHTER) IS THAT
WHAT GOD'S LOOKING FOR?
00:20:27.59\00:20:30.79
I MEAN, AT LEAST WHEN WE SLEEP.
THE BIBLE SAYS, 'WHOSOEVER SHALL
00:20:30.83\00:20:35.50
BREAK ONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE
COMMANDMENTS HAS BROKEN THEM
00:20:35.53\00:20:39.23
ALL' - THAT'S JAMES - AND SO YOU
CAN'T STAND BEFORE THE JUDGE AND
00:20:39.27\00:20:43.87
SAY, 'WELL, YOU KNOW, I PAY MY
TAXES ON TIME AND I DON'T SPEED.
00:20:43.91\00:20:49.14
I REALIZE I MURDERED SOMEBODY -
THAT'S ONLY - BUT I'M GIVING YOU
00:20:49.18\00:20:51.55
90 PERCENT OBEDIENCE, JUDGE.'
HE'S NOT GOING TO CARE ABOUT
00:20:51.58\00:20:54.18
THAT. REVELATION
14 - ANOTHER VERSE,
00:20:54.22\00:20:58.29
SIMILAR - 'HERE IS THE PATIENCE
OF THE SAINTS; HERE ARE THOSE
00:20:58.32\00:21:01.46
THAT KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF
GOD.' NOW THAT'S CONTRASTED WITH
00:21:01.49\00:21:05.33
THOSE WHO WORSHIP THE BEAST
AND HIS IMAGE - SAME CHAPTER -
00:21:05.36\00:21:08.33
PEOPLE LIKE DANIEL.
REVELATION 22 - LAST CHAPTER IN
00:21:08.36\00:21:12.03
YOUR BIBLE -
'BLESSED' - IS THAT GOOD OR BAD?
00:21:12.07\00:21:14.97
BLESSED? >>THAT'S GOOD.
00:21:15.00\00:21:16.30
>>BLESSED ARE THOSE THAT DO
HIS COMMANDMENTS THAT THEY MIGHT
00:21:16.34\00:21:19.97
HAVE A RIGHT TO THE TREE OF LIFE
AND ENTER THROUGH THE GATES OF
00:21:20.01\00:21:23.21
THE CITY. YOU'RE
GOING TO TELL ME THIS
00:21:23.24\00:21:24.68
ISN'T IMPORTANT TO JESUS? IT IS.
00:21:24.71\00:21:28.02
THE CHURCH HAS LARGELY FORGOTTEN
THE ONE COMMANDMENT THAT HE SAID
00:21:28.05\00:21:31.59
'REMEMBER.' THE DEVIL
WANTS US TO FORGET OUR
00:21:31.62\00:21:34.49
TIME WITH GOD, SO WE
BECOME SO PREOCCUPIED.
00:21:34.52\00:21:37.46
JESUS SAID BEFORE HE COMES
BACK, 'BEWARE, BEWARE, LEST YOUR
00:21:37.49\00:21:41.76
HEARTS BE OVERCHARGED WITH THE
CARES OF THIS LIFE.' NEXT THING
00:21:41.80\00:21:45.70
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE ON SOCIAL
SECURITY, YOUR LIFE IS OVER, AND
00:21:45.73\00:21:50.71
YOU DIDN'T SERVE
GOD. NOW IS THE TIME.
00:21:50.74\00:21:54.48
DOES GOD ALLOW ANYONE
TO CHANGE HIS HOLY DAY?
00:21:54.51\00:21:58.95
DOES MAN SAY, 'I'M
GOING TO MAKE A DAY HOLY'?
00:21:58.98\00:22:01.08
CAN - DO WE HAVE
THE POWER TO DO THAT?
00:22:01.12\00:22:02.98
PROVERBS 30, VERSES 5 AND 6,
"EVERY WORD OF GOD IS PURE...ADD
00:22:03.02\00:22:09.79
THOU NOT UNTO HIS WORDS, LEST HE
REPROVE THEE, AND THOU BE FOUND
00:22:09.82\00:22:15.30
A LIAR." WHAT IS ONE OF THE
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BEAST
00:22:15.33\00:22:19.97
POWER THAT YOU FIND IN
DANIEL CHAPTER 7, VERSE 25?
00:22:20.00\00:22:24.17
'HE WILL THINK TO
CHANGES TIMES AND LAWS.'
00:22:24.21\00:22:28.68
DO YOU REMEMBER READING THAT?
SPEAKING OF THE BEAST POWER -
00:22:28.71\00:22:31.15
IT'S VERY CLEAR IN THAT CHAPTER.
CAN YOU NAME ONE OF THE TEN
00:22:31.18\00:22:34.18
COMMANDMENTS THAT IS
NOT ONLY A LAW BUT A TIME?
00:22:34.22\00:22:37.42
THERE'S ONLY ONE. IT
IS THE LONGEST OF THE TEN
00:22:37.45\00:22:40.09
COMMANDMENTS. IT IS
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LAW.
00:22:40.12\00:22:42.92
IT'S THE ONLY COMMANDMENT THAT
BEGINS WITH THE WORD 'REMEMBER.'
00:22:42.96\00:22:46.56
HEBREWS CHAPTER 4, VERSE 9,
"THERE REMAINS THEREFORE A REST
00:22:46.59\00:22:51.93
FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD." DO
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT WORD IS?
00:22:51.97\00:22:53.60
THIS IS NEW TESTAMENT - THAT
WORD 'REST' IS THERE REMAINS
00:22:53.64\00:22:55.87
THEREFORE A SABBATH - SABATISMOS
- FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD EVEN IN
00:22:55.90\00:23:00.11
THE NEW TESTAMENT. WHAT
DAY IS THE LORD'S DAY OF
00:23:00.14\00:23:03.21
REVELATION 1, VERSE 10?
PEOPLE SAY, 'WELL THAT'S THE
00:23:03.24\00:23:05.95
SABBATH, BUT WE REMEMBER THE
LORD'S DAY.' WELL, WHAT IS THE
00:23:05.98\00:23:08.25
LORD'S DAY? YOU CAN
READ IN EXODUS 20, IT
00:23:08.28\00:23:12.72
SAYS, "BUT THE SEVENTH DAY
IS THE SABBATH OF THE LORD THY
00:23:12.75\00:23:16.39
GOD"' YOU CAN
ALSO READ IN ISAIAH
00:23:16.42\00:23:18.89
58, VERSE 13, "IF YOU TURN AWAY
YOUR FOOT FROM THE SABBATH, FROM
00:23:18.93\00:23:24.03
DOING THY
PLEASURE ON MY HOLY DAY."
00:23:24.07\00:23:28.60
GOD SAYS THE
SABBATH IS HIS HOLY DAY.
00:23:28.64\00:23:31.01
AND THEN, AGAIN, MARK CHAPTER
2, WE'VE READ THIS ALREADY,
00:23:31.04\00:23:34.58
"THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN
IS LORD ALSO OF THE SABBATH."
00:23:34.61\00:23:37.51
WHEN JOHN WROTE THE VISION OF
REVELATION - IT SAYS - HE SAID,
00:23:37.55\00:23:40.52
'I WAS IN THE SPIRIT ON THE
LORD'S DAY.' A LOT OF PASTORS
00:23:40.55\00:23:43.75
HAVE JUST KIND OF TAKEN LIBERTY
AND SAID, 'THAT WAS ON SUNDAY.
00:23:43.79\00:23:46.76
HE WAS
WORSHIPING GOD ON SUNDAY.'
00:23:46.79\00:23:48.09
NOTHING IN THE TEXT OR IN
HISTORY SAYS IT WAS SUNDAY.
00:23:48.12\00:23:51.43
THE BIBLE SAYS WHAT
DAY IS THE LORD'S DAY.
00:23:51.46\00:23:54.20
IF ANYTHING, YOU KNOW, THEY
WORKED THEM IN THE MINES ON THE
00:23:54.23\00:23:56.77
ISLE OF PATMOS
WHERE HE WAS A PRISONER.
00:23:56.80\00:23:58.77
THEY GAVE HIM THAT DAY OFF
AND GOD GAVE HIM THE VISION.
00:23:58.80\00:24:04.17
FROM COVER TO COVER IN THE BIBLE
WE CAN SEE THAT THE DEVIL IS
00:24:04.21\00:24:08.04
TRYING TO DO ALL HE CAN TO KEEP
US SO PREOCCUPIED WITH WORK AND
00:24:08.08\00:24:12.08
WORRY AND STRESS AND
CARES THAT WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT
00:24:12.11\00:24:16.65
MEANS TO REALLY REST IN JESUS.
AND RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS
00:24:16.69\00:24:19.92
LAW GOD SAID, 'I WANT TO
PRESERVE A TIME FOR US TO
00:24:19.95\00:24:23.09
DEVELOP A RELATIONSHIP.' AFTER
HE MAKES THE WORLD IN SIX DAYS,
00:24:23.12\00:24:26.49
GOD SAYS, 'I'M NOT DONE.
I'M MAKING ONE MORE DAY FOR
00:24:26.53\00:24:29.96
QUALITY TIME WITH
YOU BECAUSE I LOVE YOU.
00:24:30.00\00:24:32.33
I WANT TO WALK WITH
YOU AND TALK WITH YOU.
00:24:32.37\00:24:34.47
I WANT TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP
WITH YOU.' WHAT SHOULD WE LOVE
00:24:34.50\00:24:38.04
MORE, THE
CREATION OR THE CREATOR?
00:24:38.07\00:24:40.38
>>CREATOR. >>HE WANTS TO HAVE A
00:24:40.41\00:24:42.98
RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU BUT WE GET
TOO BUSY WITH THE HORIZONTAL -
00:24:43.01\00:24:45.95
THE WORRIES - AND WE
FORGET ABOUT OUR TIME WITH GOD.
00:24:45.98\00:24:49.85
WHAT PROFIT IS IT IF YOU GAIN
THE WHOLE WORLD AND LOSE YOUR
00:24:49.88\00:24:51.72
SOUL? IF YOU DON'T
HAVE GOD, YOU DON'T
00:24:51.75\00:24:53.05
HAVE ANYTHING. IF
YOU'VE GOT GOD, YOU'VE GOT
00:24:53.09\00:24:55.52
EVERYTHING. >>AMEN.
00:24:55.56\00:24:57.66
>>IF YOU'VE GOT JESUS, YOU'VE
GOT THE WHOLE WORLD, FRIENDS.
00:24:57.69\00:25:00.33
AND CHRIST SAID WHAT? HE
SAID, 'IF YOU LOVE ME, KEEP
00:25:00.36\00:25:04.30
MY COMMANDMENTS.'
