¤¤¤
00:00:07.57\00:00:14.34
>>JESUS EXPECTED HIS PEOPLE
WOULD STILL KNOW ABOUT THE
00:00:14.38\00:00:17.45
SABBATH IN THE LAST DAYS.
THE CHURCH HAS LARGELY FORGOTTEN
00:00:17.48\00:00:21.25
THE ONE COMMANDMENT
THAT HE SAID 'REMEMBER'.
00:00:21.28\00:00:25.02
¤¤¤
00:00:25.05\00:00:28.02
>>WE'RE SO GLAD TO SEE
EACH OF YOU HERE TONIGHT.
00:00:28.06\00:00:31.63
WE WANT TO WELCOME YOU TO
THE LANDMARKS OF PROPHECY BIBLE
00:00:31.66\00:00:33.63
STUDY SERIES. I
ALWAYS WANT TO WELCOME THOSE
00:00:33.66\00:00:36.43
WHO WE REMEMBER ARE WATCHING
ONLINE OR YOU'RE WATCHING VIA
00:00:36.46\00:00:39.73
SATELLITE TELEVISION AND WE'RE
JUST GLAD THAT YOU COULD BE PART
00:00:39.77\00:00:42.87
OF THIS EPIC
BIBLE STUDY ADVENTURE.
00:00:42.90\00:00:46.88
NOW TONIGHT WE HAVE A VERY
IMPORTANT LESSON THAT IS DEALING
00:00:46.91\00:00:50.38
WITH A SUBJECT THAT IS OF GREAT
INTEREST AMONG CHRISTIANS THESE
00:00:50.41\00:00:53.68
DAYS AND IT DOES HAVE A VERY
IMPORTANT BEARING ON THE ISSUES
00:00:53.72\00:00:58.55
OF PROPHECY. THE
TITLE OF THE LESSON IS
00:00:58.59\00:01:01.29
CALLED THE REST OF OUR
WORK - THE REST OF OUR WORK.
00:01:01.32\00:01:06.13
NOW WE'RE GOING TO BEGIN WITH A
STORY IN YOUR BIBLE THAT'S DRAWN
00:01:06.16\00:01:09.36
FROM THE BOOK OF EXODUS.
IN EXODUS, WE KNOW THAT THE
00:01:09.40\00:01:14.57
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL MIRACULOUSLY
CROSSED OVER THE RED SEA AND
00:01:14.60\00:01:17.27
NOW, AS THEY'RE GOING THROUGH
THE WILDERNESS, THEY HAD A FEW
00:01:17.31\00:01:21.68
TRYING DAYS BETWEEN THE
RED SEA AND MOUNT SINAI.
00:01:21.71\00:01:26.18
THEIR PROVISIONS RAN LOW
AND THEY STARTED TO COMPLAIN.
00:01:26.21\00:01:29.98
GOD SAID, 'LOOK, I'M
GOING TO WORK A MIRACLE FOR YOU.
00:01:30.02\00:01:32.52
HERE'S WHAT I'M GOING TO
DO. I'M GOING TO RAIN DOWN BREAD
00:01:32.55\00:01:35.09
FROM HEAVEN FOR YOU.' -
WHAT DO THEY CALL THAT BREAD?
00:01:35.12\00:01:38.06
>>MANNA. >>MANNA.
00:01:38.09\00:01:39.63
'AND I'M GOING TO DO IT SIX
DAYS A WEEK. GO OUT EARLY IN THE
00:01:39.66\00:01:43.23
MORNING. YOU GATHER IT UP
AND THERE WILL NOT BE ANY ON
00:01:43.26\00:01:47.64
THE SEVENTH
DAY.' WHY? >>SABBATH.
00:01:47.67\00:01:52.47
>>IT WAS THE SABBATH - EVER
SINCE THE GARDEN OF EDEN - AND
00:01:52.51\00:01:55.14
HE SAID, 'GATHER TWICE AS MUCH
ON FRIDAY SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO
00:01:55.18\00:01:58.68
GATHER IT.' AND THEN YOU
CAN READ THERE, THEN MOSES SAID,
00:01:58.71\00:02:01.35
'EAT THAT TODAY FOR TODAY IS
A SABBATH TO THE LORD.' - TODAY
00:02:01.38\00:02:04.55
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO FIND IT IN
THE FIELD.' INTERESTING MIRACLE
00:02:04.59\00:02:07.12
FOR FORTY YEARS. FORTY
YEARS THERE WAS MANNA THAT
00:02:07.16\00:02:10.19
RAINED DOWN SIX DAYS A
WEEK, BUT NONE ON THE SEVENTH.
00:02:10.23\00:02:14.20
NOW SOME PEOPLE SAY THE SABBATH
COMMAND APPEARED AT MOUNT SINAI
00:02:14.20\00:02:19.70
AND IT WAS GIVEN TO THE JEWS
ONLY. YOU NOTICE IT'S EXODUS 16,
00:02:19.73\00:02:23.37
WHERE GOD TELLS THEM ABOUT THE
MANNA COMING SIX DAYS A WEEK?
00:02:23.41\00:02:26.41
THEY HAVEN'T
GOTTEN TO MOUNT SINAI YET.
00:02:26.44\00:02:28.81
THE SABBATH GOES ALL THE
WAY BACK TO THE BEGINNING.
00:02:28.84\00:02:32.48
NOW, PLEASE HEAR
ME VERY CAREFULLY.
00:02:32.51\00:02:35.28
WE'RE GOING TO STUDY THE SUBJECT
OF THE SABBATH TONIGHT AND I'M
00:02:35.32\00:02:39.32
GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW IT IS
AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN PROPHECY.
00:02:39.35\00:02:42.02
FIRST REMEMBER, IN THE
LAST DAYS, THE MARK OF THE BEAST
00:02:42.06\00:02:46.19
COMPELS EVERYBODY TO RECEIVE
A MARK IN THE RIGHT HAND OR THE
00:02:46.23\00:02:50.00
FOREHEAD AND
WHOEVER DOESN'T DO WHAT?
00:02:50.03\00:02:52.17
WORSHIP THE IMAGE OF THE
BEAST SHOULD BE KILLED.' WHOEVER
00:02:52.20\00:02:56.30
DOESN'T WORSHIP. IS
WORSHIP GOING TO BE AN ISSUE
00:02:56.34\00:02:59.37
IN THE LAST DAYS? >>YES.
00:02:59.41\00:03:02.11
>>IN THE VERY FIRST CONFLICT
BETWEEN CAIN AND ABEL, CAIN
00:03:02.14\00:03:07.18
CLAIMED TO WORSHIP GOD,
ABEL CLAIMED TO WORSHIP GOD.
00:03:07.22\00:03:10.52
THEY BOTH BUILT ALTARS.
ONE WORSHIPED GOD THE WAY GOD
00:03:10.55\00:03:13.02
SAID - THAT'S ABEL - CAIN SAID,
'I'M GOING TO DO IT MY OWN WAY.'
00:03:13.05\00:03:16.16
GOD SAID, 'I'M NOT ACCEPTING
YOUR SACRIFICE, BUT I'M
00:03:16.19\00:03:20.10
ACCEPTING THE SACRIFICE
OF ABEL.' CAIN GOT MAD.
00:03:20.13\00:03:23.40
HE PERSECUTED AND KILLED
HIS BROTHER AND IT WAS ALL OVER
00:03:23.43\00:03:27.34
WORSHIP. FROM THE
BEGINNING TO THE END -
00:03:27.37\00:03:31.54
WHAT DID THE DEVIL WANT
FROM JESUS? 'YOU FALL DOWN AND
00:03:31.57\00:03:34.08
WORSHIP ME, I'LL GIVE IT ALL
TO YOU.' IF WE DON'T UNDERSTAND
00:03:34.11\00:03:37.91
THIS SUBJECT AND WE DON'T THINK
THAT'S CONNECTED WITH LAST-DAY
00:03:37.95\00:03:41.78
PROPHECY, FRIENDS,
YOU'RE KIDDING YOURSELF.
00:03:41.82\00:03:44.05
IT IS ALL VERY INTEGRATED - FROM
COVER TO COVER IN THE BIBLE.
00:03:44.09\00:03:47.36
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE THAT
I THINK WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND.
00:03:47.39\00:03:50.19
WELL, THAT'S MY INTRODUCTION AND
NOW WE'RE GOING TO GO INTO THE
00:03:50.23\00:03:53.46
LESSON AND I WANT TO BE GENTLE
AS I SHARE THESE THINGS WITH
00:03:53.50\00:03:56.97
YOU, BECAUSE WHAT I'M SHARING
WITH YOU, I REMEMBER THE FIRST
00:03:57.00\00:03:59.27
TIME I HEARD IT
AND IT REALLY SHOOK ME.
00:03:59.30\00:04:02.60
I THINK IT SHOOK ME BECAUSE
IT WAS SO COMPELLING, BUT I FELT
00:04:02.64\00:04:06.64
LIKE I SHOULD HAVE
KNOWN THESE THINGS.
00:04:06.68\00:04:08.54
ALRIGHT, LET'S GO TO
QUESTION #1 IN YOUR STUDY.
00:04:08.58\00:04:11.78
WHAT DAY OF THE WEEK IS THE
SABBATH - THE BIBLICAL SABBATH?
00:04:11.81\00:04:15.88
BEFORE I GIVE YOU THE ANSWER,
I WANT TO MAKE SOMETHING VERY
00:04:15.92\00:04:20.86
CLEAR. I
BELIEVE THERE ARE LOVING
00:04:20.89\00:04:25.03
SPIRIT-FILLED CHRISTIAN
PEOPLE IN ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT
00:04:25.06\00:04:28.93
DENOMINATIONS. IS THAT CLEAR?
00:04:28.96\00:04:30.67
I COULD START NAMING RELIGIOUS
LEADERS THAT YOU SEE ON TV -
00:04:30.70\00:04:34.10
I'VE MET MANY OF THEM THAT
ARE FRIENDS. I RESPECT THEM.
00:04:34.14\00:04:39.27
THEY RESPECT ME AND WE
RESPECTFULLY MAYBE DISAGREE ON
00:04:39.31\00:04:43.18
SOME THINGS, BUT I
DON'T QUESTION THAT.
00:04:43.21\00:04:45.75
I KNOW THERE ARE GOING TO
BE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN HEAVEN
00:04:45.78\00:04:48.45
THAT MAYBE WENT TO
CHURCH ON THE WRONG DAY.
00:04:48.48\00:04:50.52
BUT THE TRUTH
IS STILL THE TRUTH.
00:04:50.55\00:04:52.65
HERE'S WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS IN
GENESIS 2, VERSES 2 AND 3, "AND
00:04:52.69\00:04:56.49
ON THE SEVENTH DAY GOD ENDED HIS
WORK WHICH HE HAD DONE, AND HE
00:04:56.52\00:05:02.10
RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY FROM
ALL HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD DONE.
00:05:02.13\00:05:05.77
THEN GOD BLESSED THE SEVENTH
DAY..." - THIS IS GENESIS 2.
00:05:05.80\00:05:09.70
THIS IS ABOUT AS FAR BACK AS YOU
CAN GO IN THE BEGINNING OF YOUR
00:05:09.74\00:05:13.41
BIBLE. SO DOES GOD SAY THAT
HE MADE THE SABBATH FOR JEWS?
00:05:13.44\00:05:18.55
HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE IN
THE WORLD WHEN GOD DID THIS?
00:05:18.58\00:05:20.88
>>TWO. >>TWO.
WHAT WERE THEIR NAMES?
00:05:20.92\00:05:23.52
>>ADAM AND EVE. >>ADAM AND EVE.
00:05:23.55\00:05:25.52
YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE SAYS THAT
THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR MAN.
00:05:25.55\00:05:28.09
WHAT ELSE DID GOD MAKE FOR MAN
IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN? WOMAN.
00:05:28.12\00:05:33.70
IT SAYS, 'IT'S NOT GOOD THAT A
MAN SHOULD BE ALONE.' NOW HERE'S
00:05:33.73\00:05:37.03
A QUESTION: DO
WE STILL NEED WOMEN?
00:05:37.07\00:05:39.17
(LAUGHTER) DO WE ALSO
STILL NEED THAT DAY OF REST?
00:05:39.20\00:05:44.74
>>YES. >>THEY'RE
EQUALLY IMPORTANT.
00:05:44.77\00:05:47.74
ALRIGHT, NOW YOU NOTICE
SOMETHING ELSE HERE - IT DOESN'T
00:05:47.78\00:05:51.95
SAY 'AND ON A SEVENTH DAY' - IT
SAYS, 'ON THE SEVENTH DAY.' IS
00:05:51.98\00:05:58.22
THERE A DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN SAYING 'A' AND 'THE'?
00:05:58.25\00:06:01.49
IF I WERE TO JUST CALL OUT TO
THE AUDIENCE NOW AND SAY, 'COULD
00:06:01.52\00:06:04.39
YOU PLEASE BRING ME 'THE' PEN?'
YOU'D LOOK AT EACH OTHER AND
00:06:04.43\00:06:07.50
SAY, 'I WONDER WHO
HAS 'THE' PEN?' RIGHT?
00:06:07.50\00:06:10.63
'THE SPECIAL PEN.' BUT IF I SAY
'BRING ME 'A' PEN, HALF OF YOU
00:06:10.67\00:06:15.60
MIGHT JUMP OUT OF YOUR SEATS AND
GIVE ME A PEN BECAUSE IT DOESN'T
00:06:15.64\00:06:18.01
MATTER WHAT PEN, IT'S ANY PEN.
SO GOD DOESN'T SAY 'REMEMBER
00:06:18.04\00:06:20.18
'A' SEVENTH DAY' HE SAYS,
'REMEMBER 'THE' SEVENTH DAY.'
00:06:20.21\00:06:23.28
IT'S A DEFINITE
ARTICLE. IT'S VERY SPECIFIC.
00:06:23.31\00:06:25.15
HOW HAS GOD DEMONSTRATED THE
IMPORTANCE OF HIS HOLY SABBATH.
00:06:25.18\00:06:29.55
EXODUS CHAPTER 20,
VERSE 8 - MADE IT ONE
00:06:29.58\00:06:32.99
OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:06:33.02\00:06:34.32
IT SAYS, "REMEMBER," - WHY DO
00:06:34.36\00:06:37.23
YOU THINK GOD BEGINS
THAT COMMANDMENT WITH THE WORD
00:06:37.26\00:06:38.89
'REMEMBER'? HE
KNEW WE MIGHT FORGET.
00:06:38.93\00:06:40.80
"REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY TO
KEEP IT HOLY...THE LORD BLESSED
00:06:40.83\00:06:46.53
THE SABBATH DAY AND HALLOWED
IT" - THE BIBLE TELLS US.
00:06:46.57\00:06:49.84
NOW YOU NOTICE THAT GOD DIDN'T
SAY, 'I WANT YOU TO MAKE IT
00:06:49.87\00:06:54.68
HOLY' OR 'PICK A DAY AND MAKE IT
HOLY,' GOD SAYS, 'I HAVE PICKED
00:06:54.71\00:06:57.68
THE DAY AND I MADE IT HOLY AND I
SANCTIFIED IT AND I BLESSED IT.
00:06:57.71\00:07:01.58
I WANT YOU TO ENJOY THOSE
BLESSINGS THAT I PUT INTO THAT
00:07:01.62\00:07:04.95
DAY.' DOES HE SAY 'EVERYBODY
JUST KIND OF PICK YOUR DAY'?
00:07:04.99\00:07:08.36
OR DOES HE SAY THERE IS A DAY
WHERE WE WORSHIP CORPORATELY.
00:07:08.39\00:07:12.46
IT SAYS IN LEVITICUS 23, 'THE
SABBATH IS A HOLY CONVOCATION.'
00:07:12.49\00:07:16.63
YOU KNOW WHAT THE
WORD 'CONVOCATION' MEANS?
00:07:16.67\00:07:18.37
A CONVENING. THEY WERE TO
COME TOGETHER AND WORSHIP GOD.
00:07:18.40\00:07:21.54
HE HAD BLESSED A TIME FOR
THEM. SO THAT'S IMPORTANT.
00:07:21.57\00:07:24.97
NOW I KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF
PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT WILL SAY,
00:07:25.01\00:07:29.51
'PASTOR DOUG, YOU'RE FOCUSING ON
ONE LITTLE THING AND THIS IS NOT
00:07:29.54\00:07:32.81
A BIG ISSUE AND IT DOESN'T
MATTER.' OR, YOU KNOW, 'THE LAW
00:07:32.85\00:07:37.29
WAS NAILED TO THE CROSS' AND -
HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE HEARD SOME
00:07:37.32\00:07:41.42
OF THESE ARGUMENTS BEFORE?
WHEN I FIRST READ THESE THINGS I
00:07:41.46\00:07:45.13
SAID, 'HOW CAN THIS BE RIGHT?
HOW CAN EVERYBODY BE WRONG?
00:07:45.16\00:07:50.30
HOW COULD THE
MAJORITY BE WRONG ABOUT THIS?
00:07:50.33\00:07:52.83
AND THEN I REMEMBER IT WAS THE
MAJORITY, WHEN JESUS CAME THE
00:07:52.87\00:07:56.30
FIRST TIME, THAT
DID NOT ACCEPT HIM.
00:07:56.34\00:07:58.94
MOSES SAID, 'FOLLOW NOT A
MULTITUDE TO DO EVIL.' I SAID,
00:07:58.97\00:08:02.88
'WELL, I'M GOING TO GO ASK SOME
PASTORS.' I WAS A BABY CHRISTIAN
00:08:02.91\00:08:07.65
SO WHEN I FIRST LEARNED THESE
THINGS I WENT TO CHURCH SUNDAY
00:08:07.68\00:08:09.92
LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE, AND I
SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER BECAUSE
00:08:09.95\00:08:11.72
MY MOTHER'S JEWISH AND I
THOUGHT, 'WELL, THERE MUST - I
00:08:11.75\00:08:14.76
HAVEN'T READ THE WHOLE BIBLE,
IT'S A BIG BOOK - SOMEWHERE IN
00:08:14.79\00:08:16.89
THERE IT SAYS THAT GOD CHANGED
IT AND I JUST HAVEN'T FOUND IT
00:08:16.93\00:08:18.83
YET.' SO I WENT TO THE PASTORS
AND I SAID, 'WHY DO WE GO TO
00:08:18.86\00:08:24.27
CHURCH ON SUNDAY IF
SATURDAY IS THE SABBATH?
00:08:24.30\00:08:28.10
AND ONE OF THEM SAID, 'WELL,
THAT'S BECAUSE JESUS ROSE ON THE
00:08:28.14\00:08:33.21
FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK AND THAT
MADE IT THE NEW SABBATH.' AND I
00:08:33.24\00:08:36.68
SAID, 'ALRIGHT, WELL WHERE'S
THE VERSE THAT SAYS THAT?'
00:08:36.71\00:08:38.58
'WELL, THERE'S NOT REALLY A
SPECIFIC VERSE, BUT WE HAVE A
00:08:38.61\00:08:41.88
LONG-STANDING TRADITION.'
HMM...I SAID, 'OH, I'D LIKE MORE
00:08:41.92\00:08:45.79
THAN THAT.' I WENT TO ANOTHER
PASTOR AND I SAID, 'WHY ARE WE
00:08:45.82\00:08:49.19
GOING TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY?'
AND WE'RE NOT EVEN KEEPING
00:08:49.22\00:08:52.49
SUNDAY VERY HOLY. LET'S FACE IT.
00:08:52.53\00:08:54.83
A LOT OF PEOPLE, THEY PUT IN
AN HOUR AND A HALF AT CHURCH AND
00:08:54.86\00:08:57.97
THEN THEY GO TO THE MOVIES,
THEY GO TO THE MALL, THEY GO MOW
00:08:58.00\00:08:59.80
THEIR LAWN, RIGHT?
EVEN AMONG PEOPLE THAT DON'T
00:08:59.83\00:09:03.87
KEEP THE SEVENTH DAY, NOT VERY
MANY PEOPLE ARE KEEPING IT HOLY.
00:09:03.91\00:09:06.11
AND I REMEMBER ONE PASTOR SAID,
'WELL, PASTOR DOUG, WE DON'T
00:09:06.14\00:09:10.45
NEED TO KEEP IT, IT'S PART OF
THE LAW AND IT'S ALL NAILED TO
00:09:10.48\00:09:13.85
THE CROSS.' I
SAID, 'DO WE KEEP THE TEN
00:09:13.88\00:09:17.09
COMMANDMENTS OR NOT?' I
WAS DOING A MEETING LIKE THIS
00:09:17.12\00:09:20.02
ONE TIME AND A PASTOR
CAME AND HE INTERRUPTED ME.
00:09:20.06\00:09:22.22
HE SAID, 'PASTOR DOUG, YOU'RE
PUTTING THESE PEOPLE UNDER
00:09:22.26\00:09:25.76
BONDAGE BY TEACHING THE LAW.'
AND I SAID, 'DO YOU BELIEVE
00:09:25.79\00:09:29.76
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO
KEEP THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?'
00:09:29.80\00:09:32.00
HE SAID, 'NO.' WELL, SOME OF
HIS MEMBERS WERE THERE AND THEY
00:09:32.03\00:09:35.14
LOOKED AT HIM LIKE - BECAUSE,
YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW,
00:09:35.17\00:09:38.84
YOU DON'T KILL, DON'T LIE, DON'T
STEAL, AND SO HE HAD NO PROBLEM
00:09:38.87\00:09:41.48
WITH THE OTHERS.
00:09:41.51\00:09:43.01
AND THEN HE SAID, 'WELL, YES.'
BUT THEN, YOU KNOW, IT'S PART OF
00:09:43.04\00:09:46.58
A COMPLETE PACKAGE - IT'S RIGHT
IN THE MIDDLE - AND THEN HE
00:09:46.61\00:09:50.05
SAID, 'NINE OF THEM.' AND I
SAID, 'SO BROTHER, YOU'RE SAYING
00:09:50.09\00:09:54.89
THAT THE ONE COMMANDMENT
THAT GOD BEGINS WITH THE WORD
00:09:54.92\00:09:57.39
'REMEMBER' IS THE ONLY
ONE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO FORGET?'
00:09:57.43\00:10:02.00
I SAID, 'THAT DIDN'T MAKE
SENSE.' BUT, I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT
00:10:02.03\00:10:05.70
CONVINCED ME IS I ASKED TEN
PASTORS, I GOT TWELVE DIFFERENT
00:10:05.73\00:10:08.20
ANSWERS - THEY
WERE ALL DIFFERENT.
00:10:08.24\00:10:10.14
I SAID, 'SOMETHING'S WRONG HERE.
WE DON'T HAVE A GOOD BIBLICAL
00:10:10.17\00:10:12.31
REASON.' GOD DID
SOMETHING SPECIAL ON THIS DAY.
00:10:12.34\00:10:15.74
IT SAYS THREE, IN
PARTICULAR, THINGS.
00:10:15.78\00:10:18.28
IT SAYS GOD RESTED THAT DAY, GOD
BLESSED THAT DAY, GOD SANCTIFIED
00:10:18.31\00:10:25.29
THE SEVENTH DAY. HE'S GOD.
YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT HE GETS
00:10:25.32\00:10:29.06
TO MAKE THE RULES.
WHICH DAY DID JESUS KEEP HOLY?
00:10:29.09\00:10:33.83
ALRIGHT, YOU READ HERE IN LUKE
CHAPTER 4, VERSE 16 - THIS IS IN
00:10:33.86\00:10:37.63
THE NEW TESTAMENT - "SO HE CAME
TO NAZARETH, WHERE HE HAD BEEN
00:10:37.67\00:10:41.64
BROUGHT UP. AND AS HIS
CUSTOM WAS," - WHAT'S A CUSTOM?
00:10:41.67\00:10:45.51
SOMETHING YOU DO ONCE OR
SOMETHING THAT'S A PATTERN?
00:10:45.54\00:10:49.08
>>PATTERN. >>IT WAS
CUSTOMARY - SOMETHING
00:10:49.11\00:10:51.15
HE ALWAYS DID. "AS HIS CUSTOM
WAS, HE WENT INTO THE SYNAGOGUE
00:10:51.18\00:10:54.48
ON THE SABBATH DAY, AND STOOD
UP TO READ." JESUS WENT TO THE
00:10:54.52\00:10:58.92
SYNAGOGUE ON THE SABBATH
AND HE READ THE SCRIPTURES.
00:10:58.95\00:11:00.56
IT WAS A CUSTOM OF HIS
LIFE - A HABIT - A PRACTICE.
00:11:00.59\00:11:04.33
NOT ONLY WAS IT THE PRACTICE OF
JESUS, AND HE'S OUR EXAMPLE, IT
00:11:04.36\00:11:08.66
WAS A PRACTICE OF
THE APOSTLES AS WELL.
00:11:08.70\00:11:12.50
WHAT WAS PAUL'S CUSTOM
REGARDING THE SABBATH DAY?
00:11:12.53\00:11:15.74
PAUL, ONE OF THE GREAT - ABOUT
HALF OF THE NEW TESTAMENT YOU'RE
00:11:15.77\00:11:18.24
HOLDING WAS WRITTEN BY
PAUL. WHAT WAS HIS PATTERN?
00:11:18.27\00:11:21.81
ACTS 17, VERSE 2, "THEN PAUL,
AS HIS MANNER WAS, WENT IN UNTO
00:11:21.84\00:11:28.38
THEM, AND THREE SABBATH DAYS
REASONED WITH THEM OUT OF THE
00:11:28.42\00:11:31.75
SCRIPTURES," - YOU CAN JUMP
TO ACTS 18, VERSE 4 AND IT SAYS,
00:11:31.79\00:11:36.06
"HE REASONED IN THE SYNAGOGUE
EVERY SABBATH, AND PERSUADED THE
00:11:36.09\00:11:41.10
JEWS AND THE GREEKS." -
JEWS AND GENTILES - SOME
00:11:41.13\00:11:43.57
PEOPLE SAY, 'WELL PAUL WENT
THERE BECAUSE HE WAS JUST TRYING
00:11:43.60\00:11:46.94
TO REACH THE JEWS.' BUT IT SAYS
EVEN WHEN THE JEWS DIDN'T COME,
00:11:46.97\00:11:49.94
HE'D GO AND HE'D
SPEAK TO THE GENTILES.
00:11:49.97\00:11:52.14
IN FACT, BEFORE PAUL WAS
PAUL HE HAD ANOTHER NAME.
00:11:52.17\00:11:54.61
YOU KNOW WHAT IT WAS? >>SAUL.
00:11:54.64\00:11:55.98
>>SAUL - BEFORE HE WAS CONVERTED
HE WENT BY THE NAME SAUL AND HE
00:11:56.01\00:12:01.12
WAS OUT GATHERING AND
PERSECUTING, ARRESTING, KILLING
00:12:01.15\00:12:04.45
CHRISTIANS, RIGHT? YOU
KNOW WHERE THE BIBLE SAYS HE
00:12:04.49\00:12:07.96
WENT TO LOOK FOR
THEM? IT SAYS HE WENT TO THE
00:12:07.99\00:12:10.36
SYNAGOGUES TO FIND
THE CHRISTIANS. WHY?
00:12:10.39\00:12:13.40
BECAUSE THEY WERE MEETING
THE SAME DAYS THAT THE JEWS WERE
00:12:13.43\00:12:16.30
MEETING. THE EARLY
CHRISTIAN CHURCH ALL
00:12:16.33\00:12:19.10
WERE KEEPING THE SABBATH.
HOW IMPORTANT DO YOU THINK ONE
00:12:19.13\00:12:23.51
OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
WAS TO THE JEWISH NATION?
00:12:23.54\00:12:27.21
WHEN THE CHRISTIANS ACCEPTED
JESUS - GENTILE AND JEW - THEY
00:12:27.24\00:12:32.05
ARGUED OVER CIRCUMCISION; THEY
ARGUED OVER THE FEAST DAYS AND A
00:12:32.08\00:12:36.48
NUMBER OF THINGS. YOU
DON'T FIND ANY ARGUMENT OVER
00:12:36.52\00:12:39.62
THE SUBJECT OF WHETHER OR NOT
WE'RE GOING TO KEEP THE SABBATH.
00:12:39.65\00:12:42.82
EVERY TIME JESUS HAD A DISPUTE
OVER THE SABBATH, IT WASN'T
00:12:42.86\00:12:45.66
WHETHER OR NOT TO KEEP
IT, IT WAS HOW TO KEEP IT.
00:12:45.69\00:12:49.20
>> DON'T GO ANYWHERE,
FRIENDS, IN JUST A MOMENT,
00:12:49.23\00:12:51.50
WE'LL RETURN FOR THE
REST OF TODAY'S PRESENTATION.
00:12:51.53\00:12:54.40
HAVE YOU EVER FORGOTTEN
YOUR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY? OUCH.
00:12:54.44\00:12:57.77
OR SOME OTHER SPECIAL OCCASION?
00:12:57.81\00:12:59.84
WELL, YOU KNOW, IT CAN
FEEL A LITTLE EMBARRASSING
00:12:59.87\00:13:01.98
WHEN FRIENDS
FORGET YOUR BIRTHDAY.
00:13:02.01\00:13:04.18
SO, WHAT IF I TOLD YOU THAT
THERE IS A SPECIAL DAY FOR GOD
00:13:04.21\00:13:07.98
THAT NEARLY THE
ENTIRE WORLD HAS FORGOTTEN?
00:13:08.02\00:13:10.72
IN FACT, IT'S ONE OF
THE MOST SIGNIFICANT DAYS
00:13:10.75\00:13:13.66
IN HUMAN HISTORY.
00:13:13.69\00:13:15.06
AND FORGETTING IT CAN
PROFOUNDLY AFFECT YOUR LIFE.
00:13:15.09\00:13:18.46
WOULDN'T YOU WANT TO
KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS DAY?
00:13:18.49\00:13:20.93

00:13:29.40\00:13:31.57

WELL, LET'S GET BACK TO THE
REST OF TODAY'S PRESENTATION
00:13:49.26\00:13:51.99
AND LEARN SOME
MORE AMAZING FACTS
00:13:52.03\00:13:53.43
FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:13:53.46\00:13:55.50
>> HE SAID, 'THE SABBATH IS FOR
DOING GOOD, NOT FOR DOING EVIL.'
00:13:56.16\00:13:58.50
HE HEALED SOMEBODY, RIGHT?
HE NEVER SAID, 'DON'T KEEP THE
00:13:58.53\00:14:01.20
SABBATH ANYMORE.' JESUS, AS
HIS CUSTOM WAS, HE WENT INTO THE
00:14:01.24\00:14:04.57
SYNAGOGUE. THE
BIBLE IS SO CLEAR - THINK
00:14:04.61\00:14:07.24
ABOUT IT - WHEN GOD GAVE
THE LAW, HOW CLEARLY DID HE
00:14:07.28\00:14:11.28
ADVERTISE IT? HE
GATHERS THE WHOLE NATION,
00:14:11.31\00:14:14.85
FROM THIS DIVINE MEGAPHONE ON
THE TOP OF MOUNT SINAI HE, WITH
00:14:14.88\00:14:18.39
HIS OWN VOICE, ANNOUNCES THE
TEN COMMANDMENTS TO THE PEOPLE.
00:14:18.42\00:14:23.06
HE THEN SAYS,
'EVERYONE GOT THAT?' 'WE GOT IT!
00:14:23.09\00:14:25.09
ALL THE LORD HAS SAID WE WILL
DO.' HE SAYS, 'NOW I'M GOING TO
00:14:25.13\00:14:26.53
WRITE IT DOWN.' HE WRITES IT.
MOSES GETS MAD, HE BREAKS THOSE.
00:14:26.56\00:14:30.40
GOD SAYS, 'MOSES, I CUT OUT THE
FIRST STONES, YOU CUT OUT THE
00:14:30.43\00:14:33.13
NEXT STONES, BUT I'M WRITING IT
BACK DOWN AGAIN.' MOSES BRINGS
00:14:33.17\00:14:35.20
UP SOME MORE STONES, GOD
WRITES IT DOWN AGAIN. WHY?
00:14:35.24\00:14:38.34
'HEAVEN AND
EARTH WILL PASS AWAY.
00:14:38.37\00:14:40.18
MY WORD WILL NOT PASS
AWAY.' HE WROTE IT IN STONE.
00:14:40.21\00:14:43.18
IF GOD WAS GOING TO CHANGE ONE
OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, DON'T
00:14:43.21\00:14:46.61
YOU THINK THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN
A REALLY HOT TOPIC IN THE NEW
00:14:46.65\00:14:49.95
TESTAMENT? >>AMEN.
00:14:49.98\00:14:51.62
>>OH, THERE WOULD HAVE
BEEN INCREDIBLE DEBATE AND
00:14:51.65\00:14:53.46
DISCUSSION. IT WOULD
HAVE BEEN VERY CLEAR.
00:14:53.49\00:14:55.12
ALL OF THE APOSTLES
WOULD HAVE ADDRESSED IT.
00:14:55.16\00:14:57.36
BUT THEY DON'T BECAUSE IT WAS AN
UNDERSTOOD TRUTH. IT'S LIKE OUR
00:14:57.39\00:15:02.03
FOUNDING FATHERS SAID -
CERTAIN THINGS ARE SELF-EVIDENT.
00:15:02.06\00:15:05.17
AND FOR ALL OF THE EARLY
CHRISTIANS, IT WAS SELF-EVIDENT
00:15:05.20\00:15:07.84
THAT THEY KEPT THE SABBATH
DAY. WHY WOULD GOD CHANGE IT?
00:15:07.87\00:15:11.77
WHAT WAS WRONG
WITH THE SEVENTH DAY?
00:15:11.81\00:15:13.38
DO GENTILE CHRISTIANS
NOT NEED WORSHIP AND REST?
00:15:13.41\00:15:17.51
'PASTOR DOUG, DOESN'T IT SAY
IN COLOSSIANS CHAPTER 2, 'LET NO
00:15:17.55\00:15:21.25
MAN JUDGE YOU CONCERNING MEAT
OR DRINK OR NEW MOONS OR SABBATH
00:15:21.28\00:15:25.19
DAYS, WHICH ARE SHADOWS'?
LOOK AT THAT, MY BIBLE JUST
00:15:25.22\00:15:27.89
TURNED TO IT - COLOSSIANS
CHAPTER 2 - YOU READ IN VERSE
00:15:27.92\00:15:30.76
13, "AND YOU BEING DEAD
IN YOUR TRESPASSES AND THE
00:15:30.79\00:15:35.30
UNCIRCUMCISION OF YOUR
FLESH, HE HAS MADE ALIVE" -
00:15:35.33\00:15:38.10
NOTICE PAUL USES THE WORD
'CIRCUMCISION' THERE SO IT TELLS
00:15:38.13\00:15:39.93
YOU WHAT THE TOPIC IS. "HE
HAS MADE ALIVE TOGETHER WITH
00:15:39.97\00:15:42.67
HIM HAVING FORGIVEN ALL YOUR
TRESPASSES; HAVING WIPED OUT THE
00:15:42.70\00:15:46.11
HANDWRITING" - TEN COMMANDMENTS,
WERE THEY WRITTEN, LIKE THE LAW
00:15:46.14\00:15:50.21
OF MOSES, ON PAPER BY HAND OR
BY THE FINGER OF GOD IN STONE?
00:15:50.25\00:15:53.88
THERE WAS - THE CEREMONIAL LAW
WAS WRITTEN BY MOSES - "HAVING
00:15:53.92\00:15:57.39
WIPED OUT THE HANDWRITING OF
REQUIREMENTS THAT WAS AGAINST
00:15:57.42\00:16:00.72
US" - WHEN MOSES WROTE THE
CEREMONIAL LAW HE PUT IT IN THE
00:16:00.76\00:16:04.26
OUTSIDE OF THE ARK IN A POCKET
AND HE SAID, 'THIS WILL BE A
00:16:04.29\00:16:06.96
WITNESS AGAINST YOU.' HE
DIDN'T SAY THAT ABOUT THE TEN
00:16:07.00\00:16:09.93
COMMANDMENTS. "THE
HANDWRITING OF ORDINANCE
00:16:09.96\00:16:12.43
THAT WAS AGAINST US, TAKING
IT OUT OF THE WAY, NAILING IT TO
00:16:12.47\00:16:16.14
THE CROSS." AND
THEN I'LL JUMP DOWN.
00:16:16.17\00:16:18.97
HE SAYS IN VERSE 16, "SO LET
NO ONE JUDGE YOU IN FOOD OR IN
00:16:19.01\00:16:23.21
DRINK, OR REGARDING OF A
FESTIVAL, OR A NEW MOON, OR
00:16:23.24\00:16:25.75
SABBATHS, WHICH ARE A
SHADOW OF THINGS TO COME."
00:16:25.78\00:16:29.85
PEOPLE SAY, 'SEE, DON'T LET
ANYONE JUDGE YOU REGARDING THE
00:16:29.88\00:16:31.82
SABBATH.' THEY'RE NOT READING IT
HONESTLY. THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT
00:16:31.85\00:16:35.46
KINDS OF SABBATHS IN THE BIBLE.
THERE WAS THE SABBATH OF THE TEN
00:16:35.49\00:16:38.73
COMMANDMENTS AND THERE WERE THE
ANNUAL FEAST DAY SABBATHS - ONE
00:16:38.76\00:16:42.83
CAME WEEKLY, THE OTHERS
WERE WRITTEN ON PAPER - THE TEN
00:16:42.86\00:16:46.27
COMMANDMENTS WAS
WRITTEN ON STONE.
00:16:46.30\00:16:48.30
ONE WAS PART OF WORSHIP FOR
EVERYBODY, THE OTHERS ORIGINATED
00:16:48.34\00:16:51.81
AFTER THE EXODUS AND
THEY ENDED AT THE CROSS.
00:16:51.84\00:16:54.54
THEY WERE SHADOWS TO
HELP US RECOGNIZE JESUS.
00:16:54.58\00:16:57.81
AND SO PEOPLE WILL POINT TO THAT
AND THEY'LL SAY, 'SEE, WE DON'T
00:16:57.85\00:17:00.82
HAVE TO - DON'T LET ANYONE
JUDGE YOU ABOUT THE SABBATH.
00:17:00.85\00:17:02.82
YOU DON'T HAVE TO KEEP A
SABBATH.' THAT'S A VERY POOR
00:17:02.85\00:17:06.42
EXEGESIS OF THE BIBLE,
WHEN THEY USE IT THAT WAY.
00:17:06.45\00:17:08.59
BUT SOMEONE'S GOING
TO BRING THAT TO YOU.
00:17:08.62\00:17:10.66
SOMEONE ELSE IS GOING TO POINT
OUT ROMANS 14, WHERE IT SAYS,
00:17:10.69\00:17:13.86
'ONE MAN REGARDS ONE DAY ABOVE
ANOTHER; ANOTHER MAN REGARDS
00:17:13.90\00:17:16.10
EVERY DAY ALIKE. LET
EVERY MAN BE PERSUADED IN
00:17:16.13\00:17:18.47
HIS OWN MIND.' THE
WORD 'SABBATH' NEVER EVEN
00:17:18.50\00:17:20.90
APPEARS IN THE CHAPTER.
PAUL IS TALKING ABOUT THESE
00:17:20.94\00:17:23.41
ANNUAL FEASTS THAT THEY WERE
BEING TOLD THEY HAD TO KEEP.
00:17:23.44\00:17:26.21
PAUL SAYS, 'LOOK, IF YOU WANT
TO KEEP THE DAY, KEEP IT TO THE
00:17:26.24\00:17:28.21
LORD.' PEOPLE COME TO ME
AND THEY SAY, 'ARE CHRISTIANS
00:17:28.24\00:17:31.21
REQUIRED TO OBSERVE CHRISTMAS?'
I SAY, 'NO, THERE'S NO COMMAND.
00:17:31.25\00:17:35.85
IF YOU'RE GOING TO REMEMBER IT,
KEEP JESUS IN IT' - DO IT UNTO
00:17:35.88\00:17:39.32
THE LORD - 'IF YOU'RE NOT, THEN
YOU'RE NOT.' BUT NO, THERE'S NO
00:17:39.35\00:17:43.29
COMMAND - 'THOU SHALT REMEMBER
CHRISTMAS.' YOU ALL KNOW IT'S
00:17:43.32\00:17:46.36
PROBABLY NOT THE 25TH WHEN JESUS
WAS BORN, BUT THAT'S AS GOOD A
00:17:46.39\00:17:49.73
TIME AS ANY TO
REMEMBER HIS BIRTHDAY.
00:17:49.76\00:17:52.07
ASK ME A QUESTION ABOUT THAT.
SO YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR THESE
00:17:52.10\00:17:54.20
ARGUMENTS, BUT I PRAY
THAT YOU'LL HEAR IT OUT.
00:17:54.24\00:17:57.44
ASK ANY QUESTION YOU WANT,
WE'LL BE WILLING TO ANSWER THEM.
00:17:57.47\00:18:00.14
ALRIGHT, BACK TO OUR STUDY.
DID JESUS INTEND FOR HIS PEOPLE
00:18:00.18\00:18:05.58
TO KEEP THE SABBATH
AFTER HE DIED FOR THEIR SINS?
00:18:05.61\00:18:09.15
LISTEN TO THE PROPHECY NOW
THAT JESUS GIVES IN MATTHEW 24.
00:18:09.18\00:18:13.02
SPEAKING OF THE SECOND COMING HE
SAID - AND THE TIME OF TROUBLE
00:18:13.05\00:18:16.89
AT THE END - HE SAID, 'PRAY
THAT YOUR FLIGHT BE NOT IN THE
00:18:16.93\00:18:20.16
WINTER" - AND HE'S NOT TALKING
ABOUT CATCHING A PLANE OUT OF
00:18:20.20\00:18:22.13
DENVER - HE SAYS, 'PRAY
THAT YOUR FLIGHT BE NOT IN THE
00:18:22.16\00:18:25.63
WINTER' - HE'S TALKING ABOUT
FLEEING FOR YOUR LIVES BECAUSE
00:18:25.67\00:18:27.80
IT SAYS 'THOSE THAT BE IN JUDEA
FLEE INTO THE MOUNTAINS.' IN THE
00:18:27.84\00:18:31.11
LAST DAYS, WHEN THERE'S THIS
GREAT TRIBULATION, GOD'S PEOPLE
00:18:31.14\00:18:33.61
WILL AGAIN HAVE TO FLEE.
THOSE - HE SAID, 'PRAY YOUR
00:18:33.64\00:18:36.88
FLIGHT IS NOT IN THE WINTER OR
ON THE SABBATH DAY.' WHY WOULD
00:18:36.91\00:18:40.52
JESUS SAY THAT EXCEPT JESUS
EXPECTED HIS PEOPLE WOULD STILL
00:18:40.55\00:18:44.49
KNOW ABOUT THE
SABBATH IN THE LAST DAYS.
00:18:44.52\00:18:47.62
EVEN THOUGH THEY MAY HAVE
FORGOTTEN FOR A WHILE, BEFORE HE
00:18:47.66\00:18:50.59
COMES BACK THERE'S GOING TO BE
A GREAT REVIVAL AND GOD'S PEOPLE
00:18:50.63\00:18:53.26
ARE GOING TO COME BACK TOGETHER
ON THE BIBLE - BEFORE JESUS
00:18:53.29\00:18:56.13
COMES BACK. >>AMEN.
00:18:56.16\00:18:57.93
>>THIS TRUTH THAT I'M SHARING
WITH YOU, I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE.
00:18:57.97\00:19:00.97
IT'S GOING ALL OVER THE
WORLD AND I AM MEETING BAPTISTS,
00:19:01.00\00:19:04.37
PENTECOSTAL, METHODIST -
CHRISTIANS FROM ALL DIFFERENT
00:19:04.41\00:19:07.48
FAITHS THAT ARE TALKING TO THEIR
PEOPLE - MATTER OF FACT, RIGHT
00:19:07.51\00:19:10.38
UP THE STREET FROM OUR OFFICE IN
CALIFORNIA, A LARGE CHURCH WITH
00:19:10.41\00:19:12.78
SEVERAL THOUSAND PEOPLE, THEY
LEARNED THE TRUTH ON THIS AND
00:19:12.81\00:19:15.35
THEY'RE MEETING
TWO DAYS A WEEK NOW.
00:19:15.38\00:19:19.32
YOU PROBABLY KNOW SOME OTHER
EVANGELICAL CHURCHES THAT ARE
00:19:19.35\00:19:22.06
NOW HAVING SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY MEETINGS BECAUSE THEY'RE
00:19:22.09\00:19:25.43
LEARNING THESE THINGS. WE
NEED TO GET BACK TO WHAT THE
00:19:25.46\00:19:27.86
BIBLE SAYS, FRIENDS.
AND IT'S NOT JUST GOING TO
00:19:27.93\00:19:29.43
CHURCH, WE NEED TO LEARN
ABOUT KEEPING A DAY HOLY.
00:19:29.46\00:19:32.90
WHAT IT MEANS TO REST.
DOES THE BIBLE TEACH THAT GOD'S
00:19:32.93\00:19:36.81
END-TIME PEOPLE WOULD ALSO KEEP
HIS SEVENTH-DAY SABBATH HOLY?
00:19:36.84\00:19:41.84
LET'S SEE WHAT IT SAYS HERE
IN REVELATION - ANOTHER PROPHECY
00:19:41.88\00:19:44.61
SCRIPTURE - AND THE DRAGON -
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE,
00:19:44.65\00:19:47.45
WHO'S THE DRAGON? >>THE DEVIL.
00:19:47.48\00:19:49.35
>>'THE DEVIL WAS WROTH'
- WE'RE USING KING JAMES.
00:19:49.38\00:19:52.02
THAT'S OLD ENGLISH. THAT MEANS
'INFURIATED' WITH THE WOMAN.
00:19:52.05\00:19:55.72
WHICH WOMAN IS
THE DRAGON WROTH WITH?
00:19:55.76\00:19:57.56
>>THE CHURCH.
>>CHURCH, GOOD CHURCH OR BAD
00:19:57.59\00:19:58.89
CHURCH? >>GOOD CHURCH.
00:19:58.93\00:20:00.30
>>THE FACT THAT THE DEVIL'S
MAD AT HER MEANS SHE'S THE GOOD
00:20:00.33\00:20:02.03
CHURCH, RIGHT? 'AND
HE WENT TO MAKE WAR WITH
00:20:02.06\00:20:05.63
THE REMAINDER - OR THE REMNANT
- OF HER SEED THAT' - DO WHAT?
00:20:05.67\00:20:09.80
- 'KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD
AND THEY HAVE THE TESTIMONY OF
00:20:09.84\00:20:14.21
JESUS.' NOW DOES THAT MEAN
KEEP SOME OF THE COMMANDMENTS?
00:20:14.24\00:20:19.15
EVERYBODY - YOU'LL HEAR MY
TESTIMONY TOMORROW MORNING.
00:20:19.18\00:20:22.15
I'VE BEEN IN JAIL SEVERAL TIMES
AND EVERYBODY I EVER MET IN JAIL
00:20:22.18\00:20:25.42
KEEPS SOME OF THE
COMMANDMENTS SOME OF THE TIME.
00:20:25.45\00:20:27.16
(LAUGHTER) IS THAT
WHAT GOD'S LOOKING FOR?
00:20:27.19\00:20:30.39
I MEAN, AT LEAST WHEN WE SLEEP.
THE BIBLE SAYS, 'WHOSOEVER SHALL
00:20:30.43\00:20:35.10
BREAK ONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE
COMMANDMENTS HAS BROKEN THEM
00:20:35.13\00:20:38.83
ALL' - THAT'S JAMES - AND SO YOU
CAN'T STAND BEFORE THE JUDGE AND
00:20:38.87\00:20:43.47
SAY, 'WELL, YOU KNOW, I PAY MY
TAXES ON TIME AND I DON'T SPEED.
00:20:43.51\00:20:48.74
I REALIZE I MURDERED SOMEBODY -
THAT'S ONLY - BUT I'M GIVING YOU
00:20:48.78\00:20:51.15
90 PERCENT OBEDIENCE, JUDGE.'
HE'S NOT GOING TO CARE ABOUT
00:20:51.18\00:20:53.78
THAT. REVELATION
14 - ANOTHER VERSE,
00:20:53.82\00:20:57.89
SIMILAR - 'HERE IS THE PATIENCE
OF THE SAINTS; HERE ARE THOSE
00:20:57.92\00:21:01.06
THAT KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF
GOD.' NOW THAT'S CONTRASTED WITH
00:21:01.09\00:21:04.93
THOSE WHO WORSHIP THE BEAST
AND HIS IMAGE - SAME CHAPTER -
00:21:04.96\00:21:07.96
PEOPLE LIKE DANIEL.
REVELATION 22 - LAST CHAPTER IN
00:21:07.96\00:21:11.63
YOUR BIBLE -
'BLESSED' - IS THAT GOOD OR BAD?
00:21:11.67\00:21:14.57
BLESSED? >>THAT'S GOOD.
00:21:14.60\00:21:15.90
>>BLESSED ARE THOSE THAT DO
HIS COMMANDMENTS THAT THEY MIGHT
00:21:15.94\00:21:19.57
HAVE A RIGHT TO THE TREE OF LIFE
AND ENTER THROUGH THE GATES OF
00:21:19.61\00:21:22.81
THE CITY. YOU'RE
GOING TO TELL ME THIS
00:21:22.84\00:21:24.28
ISN'T IMPORTANT TO JESUS? IT IS.
00:21:24.31\00:21:27.62
THE CHURCH HAS LARGELY FORGOTTEN
THE ONE COMMANDMENT THAT HE SAID
00:21:27.65\00:21:31.19
'REMEMBER.' THE DEVIL
WANTS US TO FORGET OUR
00:21:31.22\00:21:34.09
TIME WITH GOD, SO WE
BECOME SO PREOCCUPIED.
00:21:34.12\00:21:37.06
JESUS SAID BEFORE HE COMES
BACK, 'BEWARE, BEWARE, LEST YOUR
00:21:37.09\00:21:41.36
HEARTS BE OVERCHARGED WITH THE
CARES OF THIS LIFE.' NEXT THING
00:21:41.40\00:21:45.30
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE ON SOCIAL
SECURITY, YOUR LIFE IS OVER, AND
00:21:45.33\00:21:50.31
YOU DIDN'T SERVE
GOD. NOW IS THE TIME.
00:21:50.34\00:21:54.08
DOES GOD ALLOW ANYONE
TO CHANGE HIS HOLY DAY?
00:21:54.11\00:21:58.55
DOES MAN SAY, 'I'M
GOING TO MAKE A DAY HOLY'?
00:21:58.58\00:22:00.68
CAN - DO WE HAVE
THE POWER TO DO THAT?
00:22:00.72\00:22:02.58
PROVERBS 30, VERSES 5 AND 6,
"EVERY WORD OF GOD IS PURE...ADD
00:22:02.62\00:22:09.39
THOU NOT UNTO HIS WORDS, LEST HE
REPROVE THEE, AND THOU BE FOUND
00:22:09.42\00:22:14.93
A LIAR." WHAT IS ONE OF THE
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BEAST
00:22:14.93\00:22:19.57
POWER THAT YOU FIND IN
DANIEL CHAPTER 7, VERSE 25?
00:22:19.60\00:22:23.77
'HE WILL THINK TO
CHANGES TIMES AND LAWS.'
00:22:23.81\00:22:28.28
DO YOU REMEMBER READING THAT?
SPEAKING OF THE BEAST POWER -
00:22:28.31\00:22:30.75
IT'S VERY CLEAR IN THAT CHAPTER.
CAN YOU NAME ONE OF THE TEN
00:22:30.78\00:22:33.78
COMMANDMENTS THAT IS
NOT ONLY A LAW BUT A TIME?
00:22:33.82\00:22:37.02
THERE'S ONLY ONE. IT
IS THE LONGEST OF THE TEN
00:22:37.05\00:22:39.69
COMMANDMENTS. IT IS
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LAW.
00:22:39.72\00:22:42.52
IT'S THE ONLY COMMANDMENT THAT
BEGINS WITH THE WORD 'REMEMBER.'
00:22:42.56\00:22:46.16
HEBREWS CHAPTER 4, VERSE 9,
"THERE REMAINS THEREFORE A REST
00:22:46.19\00:22:51.53
FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD." DO
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT WORD IS?
00:22:51.57\00:22:53.20
THIS IS NEW TESTAMENT - THAT
WORD 'REST' IS THERE REMAINS
00:22:53.23\00:22:55.47
THEREFORE A SABBATH - SABATISMOS
- FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD EVEN IN
00:22:55.50\00:22:59.64
THE NEW TESTAMENT. WHAT
DAY IS THE LORD'S DAY OF
00:22:59.67\00:23:02.81
REVELATION 1, VERSE 10?
PEOPLE SAY, 'WELL THAT'S THE
00:23:02.84\00:23:05.55
SABBATH, BUT WE REMEMBER THE
LORD'S DAY.' WELL, WHAT IS THE
00:23:05.58\00:23:07.85
LORD'S DAY? YOU CAN
READ IN EXODUS 20, IT
00:23:07.88\00:23:12.32
SAYS, "BUT THE SEVENTH DAY
IS THE SABBATH OF THE LORD THY
00:23:12.35\00:23:15.99
GOD"' YOU CAN
ALSO READ IN ISAIAH
00:23:16.02\00:23:18.49
58, VERSE 13, "IF YOU TURN AWAY
YOUR FOOT FROM THE SABBATH, FROM
00:23:18.53\00:23:23.63
DOING THY
PLEASURE ON MY HOLY DAY."
00:23:23.67\00:23:28.20
GOD SAYS THE
SABBATH IS HIS HOLY DAY.
00:23:28.24\00:23:30.61
AND THEN, AGAIN, MARK CHAPTER
2, WE'VE READ THIS ALREADY,
00:23:30.64\00:23:34.18
"THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN
IS LORD ALSO OF THE SABBATH."
00:23:34.21\00:23:37.11
WHEN JOHN WROTE THE VISION OF
REVELATION - IT SAYS - HE SAID,
00:23:37.15\00:23:40.12
'I WAS IN THE SPIRIT ON THE
LORD'S DAY.' A LOT OF PASTORS
00:23:40.15\00:23:43.35
HAVE JUST KIND OF TAKEN LIBERTY
AND SAID, 'THAT WAS ON SUNDAY.
00:23:43.39\00:23:46.35
HE WAS
WORSHIPING GOD ON SUNDAY.'
00:23:46.39\00:23:47.69
NOTHING IN THE TEXT OR IN
HISTORY SAYS IT WAS SUNDAY.
00:23:47.72\00:23:51.03
THE BIBLE SAYS WHAT
DAY IS THE LORD'S DAY.
00:23:51.06\00:23:53.83
IF ANYTHING, YOU KNOW, THEY
WORKED THEM IN THE MINES ON THE
00:23:53.86\00:23:56.36
ISLE OF PATMOS
WHERE HE WAS A PRISONER.
00:23:56.40\00:23:58.37
THEY GAVE HIM THAT DAY OFF
AND GOD GAVE HIM THE VISION.
00:23:58.40\00:24:03.77
FROM COVER TO COVER IN THE BIBLE
WE CAN SEE THAT THE DEVIL IS
00:24:03.81\00:24:07.64
TRYING TO DO ALL HE CAN TO KEEP
US SO PREOCCUPIED WITH WORK AND
00:24:07.68\00:24:11.68
WORRY AND STRESS AND
CARES THAT WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT
00:24:11.71\00:24:16.25
MEANS TO REALLY REST IN JESUS.
AND RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS
00:24:16.28\00:24:19.52
LAW GOD SAID, 'I WANT TO
PRESERVE A TIME FOR US TO
00:24:19.55\00:24:22.69
DEVELOP A RELATIONSHIP.' AFTER
HE MAKES THE WORLD IN SIX DAYS,
00:24:22.72\00:24:26.09
GOD SAYS, 'I'M NOT DONE.
I'M MAKING ONE MORE DAY FOR
00:24:26.13\00:24:29.56
QUALITY TIME WITH
YOU BECAUSE I LOVE YOU.
00:24:29.60\00:24:31.93
I WANT TO WALK WITH
YOU AND TALK WITH YOU.
00:24:31.97\00:24:34.07
I WANT TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP
WITH YOU.' WHAT SHOULD WE LOVE
00:24:34.10\00:24:37.64
MORE, THE
CREATION OR THE CREATOR?
00:24:37.67\00:24:39.97
>>CREATOR. >>HE WANTS TO HAVE A
00:24:40.01\00:24:42.58
RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU BUT WE GET
TOO BUSY WITH THE HORIZONTAL -
00:24:42.61\00:24:45.55
THE WORRIES - AND WE
FORGET ABOUT OUR TIME WITH GOD.
00:24:45.58\00:24:49.45
WHAT PROFIT IS IT IF YOU GAIN
THE WHOLE WORLD AND LOSE YOUR
00:24:49.48\00:24:51.32
SOUL? IF YOU DON'T
HAVE GOD, YOU DON'T
00:24:51.35\00:24:52.65
HAVE ANYTHING. IF
YOU'VE GOT GOD, YOU'VE GOT
00:24:52.69\00:24:55.12
EVERYTHING. >>AMEN.
00:24:55.16\00:24:57.26
>>IF YOU'VE GOT JESUS, YOU'VE
GOT THE WHOLE WORLD, FRIENDS.
00:24:57.29\00:24:59.86
AND CHRIST SAID WHAT? HE
SAID, 'IF YOU LOVE ME, KEEP
00:24:59.89\00:25:03.90
MY COMMANDMENTS.'
