male announcer: This
presentation is brought to you
00:00:02.26\00:00:03.47
by the friends of the
Amazing Facts Ministry.
00:00:03.60\00:00:06.77
Doug Batchelor: In 1629, the
emperor of India, Shah Jahan,
00:00:08.94\00:00:12.81
went on a military campaign to
crush rebellion in his kingdom.
00:00:12.84\00:00:16.75
Even though she was ill and
pregnant, his wife joined him on
00:00:16.78\00:00:20.08
the grueling journey.
00:00:20.12\00:00:21.42
On the way, she collapsed, gave
birth to their daughter, and
00:00:21.45\00:00:24.72
then died.
00:00:24.75\00:00:26.05
The beautiful empress
was only 39 years old.
00:00:26.09\00:00:28.86
Beside himself with grief, the
emperor carried his wife's body
00:00:28.89\00:00:32.16
home and constantly
wore white robes of mourning.
00:00:32.19\00:00:35.60
When he finally came out of
seclusion, he ordered that a
00:00:35.63\00:00:38.33
beautiful palace be
built for his beloved wife.
00:00:38.37\00:00:41.37
It was never to
be called a tomb.
00:00:41.40\00:00:43.30
It was to be called
by the Indian word mahal,
00:00:43.34\00:00:46.41
meaning palace.
00:00:46.44\00:00:48.14
The palace that the
emperor built is one of the most
00:00:48.18\00:00:50.71
breathtaking structures
ever built, a dazzling wonder of
00:00:50.75\00:00:54.62
marble and jewels,
known today as the Taj Mahal.
00:00:54.65\00:00:58.72
This majestic tomb is an abiding
memorial of the emperor's love
00:00:58.75\00:01:03.02
for his wife.
00:01:03.06\00:01:04.56
Did you know that God has
also given believers an eternal
00:01:04.59\00:01:08.73
memorial of His
creative power of love?
00:01:08.76\00:01:12.23
It's built, not in marble,
but in time, and it can change
00:01:12.27\00:01:16.07
your life.
00:01:16.10\00:01:17.34
So, let's dive in together now
and explore this important and
00:01:17.37\00:01:20.74
fascinating subject.
00:01:20.78\00:01:22.54
Doug: All right, friends, our
study tonight is dealing with
00:01:26.05\00:01:29.85
the subject of
Bricks Without Straw.
00:01:29.88\00:01:33.89
The story of the Bible is the
story of a people that God calls
00:01:33.92\00:01:38.09
out of slavery
into the Promised Land.
00:01:38.13\00:01:41.93
Well, you know, I'm not going to
tell you the whole story of the
00:01:41.96\00:01:44.97
ten plagues.
00:01:45.00\00:01:46.53
You know that what happened
then is Pharaoh--Moses said,
00:01:46.57\00:01:49.17
"Pharaoh, if you
don't let them go,
00:01:49.20\00:01:50.51
it's going to be really bad."
00:01:50.54\00:01:53.31
Plague after
plague after plague came.
00:01:53.34\00:01:56.85
Finally, the tenth plague
firstborn died, except for those
00:01:56.88\00:02:00.12
who had the lamb's
blood on their homes.
00:02:00.15\00:02:04.09
The blood of the
lamb protected them.
00:02:04.12\00:02:06.05
Then after that, they
began their journey out of the
00:02:06.09\00:02:09.32
Promised Land.
00:02:09.36\00:02:10.66
God parted the Red Sea.
00:02:10.69\00:02:11.99
They're on their
way, not to--they're not
00:02:12.03\00:02:14.30
going right to Israel.
00:02:14.36\00:02:15.63
They're actually going south.
00:02:15.66\00:02:16.97
They're going to Mount Sinai
because God said, "You're not
00:02:17.00\00:02:18.90
prepared to go to the promised
land until we go to Mount Sinai
00:02:18.93\00:02:22.57
and I give you My law."
00:02:22.60\00:02:23.91
Notice God did not give
them the law to save them.
00:02:23.94\00:02:26.88
They were saved by the lamb.
00:02:26.91\00:02:28.78
After they're saved by the
lamb, He brings them to the law.
00:02:28.81\00:02:32.25
We are not saved by keeping the
law, we're saved by the lamb,
00:02:32.28\00:02:34.88
the blood of the lamb, amen?
00:02:34.92\00:02:36.45
But then when you aren't saved,
God says, "If you love Me,
00:02:36.48\00:02:39.55
here's My commandments."
00:02:39.59\00:02:40.82
First commandment says, "I
am the Lord your God who brought
00:02:40.86\00:02:43.46
you out of Egypt out
of the house of bondage.
00:02:43.49\00:02:45.26
I'm the God who saved you.
00:02:45.29\00:02:46.70
If you love Me, here's My law."
00:02:46.73\00:02:50.83
Those who trusted
and loved the Lord,
00:02:50.87\00:02:52.40
made it to the Promised Land.
00:02:52.43\00:02:54.44
Those who lost faith, did not.
00:02:54.47\00:02:57.24
It's a pretty simple lesson.
00:02:57.27\00:02:59.17
So, as they're going into the
wilderness on the way to Mount
00:02:59.21\00:03:01.41
Sinai, they haven't got
there yet, they got hungry.
00:03:01.44\00:03:04.85
God said, "I'm going to rain
bread down from heaven for you,
00:03:04.88\00:03:07.02
but pay attention."
00:03:07.05\00:03:08.68
He said, "I'm going to
rain bread down from heaven
00:03:08.72\00:03:10.45
six days a week.
00:03:10.49\00:03:12.19
You got to go out and gather it.
00:03:12.22\00:03:13.66
On the sixth day, gather twice
as much for the Sabbath day."
00:03:13.69\00:03:19.19
Now, they hadn't
been to Mount Sinai yet.
00:03:19.23\00:03:21.70
Where's this
Sabbath business come from?
00:03:21.73\00:03:24.00
"Moses said, 'Eat that today.'"
He says, "You got twice as much
00:03:24.03\00:03:27.57
here on the
sixth day of the week.
00:03:27.60\00:03:29.57
And for today is--eat what you
collected the day before, for
00:03:29.60\00:03:33.11
today is the Sabbath to the
Lord; today you're not going to
00:03:33.14\00:03:35.81
find it in the field."
00:03:35.84\00:03:37.08
The whole time they were in the
wilderness, that manna fell six
00:03:37.11\00:03:39.48
days a week and none fell on
the seventh day because God had
00:03:39.51\00:03:44.12
rested and blessed that day.
00:03:44.15\00:03:45.55
All right, let's go
into our questions here.
00:03:45.59\00:03:47.69
"What day of the
week is the Sabbath?"
00:03:47.72\00:03:50.46
In North America when the
Pilgrims came over, there was no
00:03:50.49\00:03:53.03
confusion about whether or not
people should keep a Sabbath.
00:03:53.06\00:03:55.33
Everybody believed that.
00:03:55.36\00:03:57.03
So, let's go and find
out what the Bible says.
00:03:57.07\00:03:58.53
What day of the
week is the Sabbath day?
00:03:58.57\00:04:01.27
And you can read in Genesis
chapter 2, verse 2--now, we just
00:04:01.30\00:04:04.71
quoted part of this a
minute ago, but I want
00:04:04.74\00:04:06.54
to emphasize something.
00:04:06.57\00:04:08.31
"And on the seventh day
God ended His work which He had
00:04:08.34\00:04:11.71
done; and He
rested on the," what day?
00:04:11.75\00:04:14.82
"The seventh day from all
His work which He had done.
00:04:14.85\00:04:17.65
Then God blessed the seventh
day and He sanctified it."
00:04:17.69\00:04:22.79
You notice a number
that keeps coming up?
00:04:22.82\00:04:25.23
Seventh day,
seventh day, seventh day.
00:04:25.26\00:04:29.66
Here, in the very beginning
of the Bible, you find the first
00:04:29.70\00:04:31.83
time a number is
mentioned three times, 777.
00:04:31.87\00:04:34.94
When you go to the
end of the Bible, seven is
00:04:34.97\00:04:37.01
the day of God, God's rest.
00:04:37.04\00:04:38.87
Six is the day
that man was made.
00:04:38.91\00:04:40.78
It's a day for man.
00:04:40.81\00:04:42.21
When you get to the end of the
Bible, you got 666 at the other
00:04:42.24\00:04:45.48
end of the Bible, and
it's about manmade worship.
00:04:45.51\00:04:48.62
And you realize that the whole
battle through the Bible is
00:04:48.65\00:04:50.99
about, who do we worship?
00:04:51.02\00:04:53.96
It's repeating itself.
00:04:53.99\00:04:55.66
"How has God demonstrated the
importance of His holy Sabbath?"
00:04:55.69\00:04:59.83
Well, you can read in
Exodus chapter 20, this is from
00:04:59.86\00:05:02.20
the Ten Commandments.
00:05:02.23\00:05:03.57
By the way, you find it
also in Deuteronomy, chapter 5.
00:05:03.60\00:05:07.00
"Remember the
Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
00:05:07.04\00:05:10.11
The Lord blessed the
Sabbath day, and hallowed it."
00:05:10.14\00:05:13.58
It's very clear which day it is.
00:05:13.61\00:05:15.74
The Bible tells us that God
rested on the seventh day, He
00:05:15.78\00:05:19.98
blessed it, and
He sanctified it.
00:05:20.02\00:05:23.02
It's obviously important.
00:05:23.05\00:05:25.15
Now, you know, I think it's
interesting that when I share
00:05:25.19\00:05:28.56
this message, I often have
pastors that will sometimes come
00:05:28.59\00:05:32.26
to programs like this,
and I'll visit with them.
00:05:32.29\00:05:35.46
And I remember I was doing a
seminar like this one time, and
00:05:35.50\00:05:39.90
pastor didn't wait
until after the program.
00:05:39.93\00:05:42.14
He saw some of his members
were coming, and he was a little
00:05:42.17\00:05:45.11
concerned that they were
going to start asking him
00:05:45.14\00:05:47.24
too many questions.
00:05:47.28\00:05:48.74
And he said, "Pastor
Doug," and just shouted out
00:05:48.78\00:05:53.01
from the audience.
00:05:53.05\00:05:54.35
Said, "You're
putting these people under
00:05:54.38\00:05:56.22
the bondage of works."
00:05:56.25\00:05:58.59
I said, "All right,
brother, why do you say that?"
00:05:58.62\00:06:00.59
He said, "You're putting them
under the bondage of legalism."
00:06:00.62\00:06:03.16
I said, "No."
00:06:03.19\00:06:04.49
Said, "I'm telling them
to keep the Sabbath day.
00:06:04.53\00:06:05.96
I'm telling them to rest,
you're telling them not to.
00:06:05.99\00:06:08.20
You're telling them to work."
00:06:08.23\00:06:10.47
And I said, "Do you
think God wants us to keep
00:06:10.50\00:06:12.47
the Ten Commandments?"
00:06:12.50\00:06:13.90
He said, "No."
00:06:13.94\00:06:15.24
Several of his members turned
and looked at him like--and then
00:06:15.27\00:06:19.24
he said, "Yes."
00:06:19.27\00:06:20.91
But he knew that would
include the fourth and he said,
00:06:20.94\00:06:22.84
"Nine of them."
00:06:22.88\00:06:25.25
This really happened.
00:06:25.28\00:06:26.72
And I said, "So you're telling
me and the people here that the
00:06:26.75\00:06:29.38
one commandment you think
we ought to forget about is the
00:06:29.42\00:06:31.65
only commandment that begins
with the word 'remember'?"
00:06:31.69\00:06:35.69
I said, "That
sounds suspicious."
00:06:35.72\00:06:38.66
You know, one reason that I came
to believe the Sabbath truth is
00:06:38.69\00:06:41.43
because when I talk to pastors,
if I asked ten pastors, I got 11
00:06:41.46\00:06:46.94
different
answers on this subject.
00:06:46.97\00:06:49.87
I talked to one pastor,
I said, "Why don't we keep
00:06:49.90\00:06:52.91
the Sabbath anymore?"
00:06:52.94\00:06:54.24
"Well, because we don't keep
it on the seventh day anymore
00:06:54.28\00:06:57.48
because it's not mentioned
again in the New Testament."
00:06:57.51\00:07:02.08
I said, "Really?"
00:07:02.12\00:07:03.42
So, I did a study, and I found
out there is one commandment
00:07:03.45\00:07:05.89
that's not repeated
in the New Testament.
00:07:05.92\00:07:07.99
You know which one it is?
00:07:08.02\00:07:10.33
"Thou shall not take the name
of the Lord thy God in vain.
00:07:10.36\00:07:12.99
The Lord will not hold
him guiltless that takes
00:07:13.03\00:07:14.60
His name in vain."
00:07:14.63\00:07:15.93
Show me where that's
in the New Testament.
00:07:15.96\00:07:17.57
But is the Sabbath
mentioned in the New Testament?
00:07:17.60\00:07:20.67
Many, many times.
00:07:20.70\00:07:22.17
It's like an urban myth that
just got out there and people
00:07:22.20\00:07:24.41
repeat it, and they
don't actually look to find out
00:07:24.44\00:07:26.07
it's not true.
00:07:26.11\00:07:28.14
Then another pastor, he said,
"Well, we don't have a command
00:07:28.18\00:07:31.85
to keep the Sabbath day,
but we've got a long-standing
00:07:31.88\00:07:34.05
tradition that we now
remember Sunday in honor of
00:07:34.08\00:07:36.38
the Resurrection."
00:07:36.42\00:07:37.72
I said, "Okay, that's beautiful.
00:07:37.75\00:07:39.05
Now, where's the verse?"
00:07:39.09\00:07:40.79
"Well, we don't have
a verse, but we do have
00:07:40.82\00:07:42.19
a church tradition."
00:07:42.22\00:07:44.39
I said, "I don't know
if that's got the authority
00:07:44.43\00:07:45.83
I'm looking for."
00:07:45.86\00:07:47.50
And I kept
asking these questions.
00:07:47.50\00:07:48.80
Another one said, "You know,
we're not under the law now."
00:07:48.83\00:07:50.73
I said, "Okay.
00:07:50.77\00:07:52.17
Does that mean we
break the Ten Commandments?"
00:07:52.20\00:07:55.47
They said, "Well, we
keep the spirit of the law,
00:07:55.50\00:07:58.04
but not the letter."
00:07:58.07\00:07:59.37
What does that mean?
00:07:59.41\00:08:01.58
I mean, if you're keeping
the spirit of the law, don't you
00:08:01.61\00:08:03.35
keep the letter?
00:08:03.38\00:08:04.98
Yeah.
00:08:05.01\00:08:06.31
And then I talked to--another
guy was really creative.
00:08:06.35\00:08:09.32
He was kind of a cowboy
evangelist and he said, "Pastor
00:08:09.35\00:08:12.55
Doug," said, "back in the days
of Joshua, he prayed, the sun
00:08:12.59\00:08:15.59
stood still,
Saturday turned into Sunday."
00:08:15.62\00:08:18.86
I never heard that before.
00:08:18.89\00:08:20.13
I said, "Well, they kept keeping
it on Saturday for a long time."
00:08:20.16\00:08:23.97
A lot of confusion out there in
the Christian world about this.
00:08:24.00\00:08:26.70
And it's not really hard to
figure it out if you look at
00:08:26.74\00:08:29.50
what the Bible actually says.
00:08:29.54\00:08:31.81
Now, is this important?
00:08:31.84\00:08:33.71
Jesus says in Matthew chapter 5,
verse 19, "Whosoever therefore
00:08:33.74\00:08:37.31
shall break one of the least
of these commandments, and teach
00:08:37.35\00:08:40.65
men so, he will be called
least in the kingdom of heaven.
00:08:40.68\00:08:44.52
But whoever will do and teach
them will be called great in the
00:08:44.55\00:08:48.36
kingdom of heaven."
00:08:48.39\00:08:49.69
So, please don't take offense
with Pastor Doug because I'm
00:08:49.72\00:08:51.59
teaching you
about this commandment.
00:08:51.63\00:08:53.26
The Lord and Savior said,
"Whoever shall do and teach it
00:08:53.29\00:08:56.83
is called great in
the kingdom of heaven."
00:08:56.87\00:08:58.87
I want to be a doer, and
I want to be a teacher of
00:08:58.90\00:09:01.04
the Word of God.
00:09:01.07\00:09:02.37
I have to answer to
Jesus, so I'm not going
00:09:02.40\00:09:04.01
to teach you
what tradition says.
00:09:04.04\00:09:05.34
I'm going to teach
you what he says and what
00:09:05.37\00:09:07.48
the Word says, amen.
00:09:07.51\00:09:08.91
So, it's important to Him.
00:09:08.94\00:09:11.71
"Did Jesus intend for His people
to be keeping the Sabbath after
00:09:11.75\00:09:15.95
He died for their sins?"
00:09:15.98\00:09:17.89
Some are saying, "Well, you
know, once He died on the cross,
00:09:17.92\00:09:20.12
the law was nailed to the
cross, and we don't need to
00:09:20.16\00:09:22.72
keep it anymore."
00:09:22.76\00:09:25.13
Jesus told them, speaking of the
last days, he said, "And pray
00:09:25.16\00:09:27.93
that your flight," he's talking
about this tribulation, "pray
00:09:27.96\00:09:31.20
that your flight--"
It depends what airline
00:09:31.23\00:09:35.60
you're booking, right?
00:09:35.64\00:09:38.04
"Pray that your flight may
not be in the winter or on the
00:09:38.07\00:09:40.78
Sabbath day."
00:09:40.81\00:09:42.48
Because obviously, in the winter
if you're fleeing--he said,
00:09:42.51\00:09:45.85
"Those that be in
Judea flee into the hills."
00:09:45.88\00:09:47.58
We may have to flee into
the hills in the last days.
00:09:47.62\00:09:49.88
It's hard to find food that
time of year, harsh environment.
00:09:49.92\00:09:53.66
And he's also saying that
wouldn't be appropriate for a
00:09:53.69\00:09:56.32
day of rest, having
to run for your life.
00:09:56.36\00:09:58.63
Jesus, looking down on
-- says, "Pray that you
00:09:58.66\00:10:01.33
won't have to do that then."
00:10:01.36\00:10:02.93
Christ still expected His people
to recognize the Sabbath, even
00:10:02.96\00:10:06.17
in the future.
00:10:06.20\00:10:07.90
Doug: Don't go
anywhere, friends.
00:10:08.47\00:10:09.77
We'll be back in just
a moment with the rest
00:10:09.80\00:10:11.64
of today's presentation.
00:10:11.67\00:10:13.17
Are you weary of the
never-ending 24/7 schedule
00:10:13.21\00:10:16.38
in today's hectic world?
00:10:16.41\00:10:18.55
Is this stressful grind
really the way that life
00:10:18.58\00:10:21.52
was meant to be lived?
00:10:21.55\00:10:23.08
Or is there something better
out there waiting for you?
00:10:23.12\00:10:26.52
Well, what if I told you
that God had originally designed
00:10:26.55\00:10:29.92
mankind to take a regular
refreshing weekly break, and
00:10:29.96\00:10:34.20
that in doing this, your
life, and even your health,
00:10:34.23\00:10:36.87
would improve.
00:10:36.90\00:10:38.33
It's a blessing called
the Sabbath, and it can change
00:10:38.37\00:10:41.60
your life forever.
00:10:41.64\00:10:43.44

Let's return now to today's
presentation and learn some more
00:11:19.81\00:11:22.84
amazing facts
from the Word of God.
00:11:22.88\00:11:25.58
Doug: Now I am going to
preemptively share with you a
00:11:26.65\00:11:29.08
Scripture because you're going
to hear these things, you're
00:11:29.12\00:11:32.09
going to go, "I got
to ask my friends or
00:11:32.12\00:11:33.76
my pastor about this."
00:11:33.79\00:11:35.09
Two verses that are often
misunderstood that people turn
00:11:35.12\00:11:38.06
to when it comes to learning
the Sabbath truth, one of them
00:11:38.09\00:11:40.73
is found in Romans chapter 14.
00:11:40.76\00:11:42.73
Let me just read
that to you real quick.
00:11:42.76\00:11:45.00
Romans 14, and I'm
going to jump to verse 5.
00:11:45.03\00:11:48.97
"One person esteems one day
above another; another esteems
00:11:49.64\00:11:53.14
every day alike.
00:11:53.17\00:11:54.48
Let each one be fully
convinced in his own mind.
00:11:54.51\00:11:57.51
He who observes the day,
observes it to the Lord; and he
00:11:57.55\00:12:00.45
who does not observe the
day, does not observe it."
00:12:00.48\00:12:03.92
What's that talking about?
00:12:03.95\00:12:05.25
"Well, Pastor Doug, that just
means that, you know, if you
00:12:05.29\00:12:06.99
want to go to
church, go to church.
00:12:07.02\00:12:08.32
If you want to go Thursday,
Saturday, Sunday, doesn't
00:12:08.36\00:12:10.13
matter, just go when
you feel like going."
00:12:10.16\00:12:12.56
Would God really say that?
00:12:12.59\00:12:13.90
I have never heard a pastor
stand up in his church on Sunday
00:12:13.93\00:12:16.43
and tell his congregation that,
never ever, ever, because they
00:12:16.46\00:12:21.40
know--well, first of all, if you
tell all your people, "Oh, you
00:12:21.44\00:12:23.81
don't have to go, it doesn't
matter," well, they have a hard
00:12:23.84\00:12:25.84
enough time
getting them to come.
00:12:25.87\00:12:28.61
This is talking about the Jewish
converts to Christianity that
00:12:28.64\00:12:32.91
were asking the Gentiles.
00:12:32.95\00:12:34.48
They said, "You've got to
keep the ceremonial sabbaths."
00:12:34.52\00:12:37.35
There are two kinds
of sabbaths in the Bible.
00:12:37.39\00:12:40.16
There was the perfect Sabbath
of the Ten Commandments that
00:12:40.19\00:12:42.66
existed before sin.
00:12:42.69\00:12:45.59
Then there were the ceremonial
sabbaths nailed to the cross
00:12:45.63\00:12:48.60
that came after sin that
were fulfilled in Christ.
00:12:48.63\00:12:51.00
They were annual sabbaths.
00:12:51.03\00:12:53.03
They were feast days.
00:12:53.07\00:12:54.40
They were other
days and new moons.
00:12:54.44\00:12:56.91
They were saying, "You
got to keep all these."
00:12:56.94\00:12:58.91
And Paul said, "No, you don't.
00:12:58.94\00:13:00.31
If you want to go ahead, no sin
in it, but you don't have to."
00:13:00.34\00:13:02.71
But there was never a contest
about the importance of the
00:13:02.74\00:13:05.38
weekly worship day of rest.
00:13:05.41\00:13:08.52
So, using these verses that
are talking about the ceremonial
00:13:08.55\00:13:11.82
sabbaths to say that God
doesn't care if we keep the Ten
00:13:11.85\00:13:14.16
Commandments is not an
honest biblical argument.
00:13:14.19\00:13:17.56
Most pastors know that, but
I've heard them use it that way.
00:13:17.59\00:13:20.10
Let me show you the other one.
00:13:20.13\00:13:21.33
It's in Colossians chapter
2, and I'll start with verse 13.
00:13:21.36\00:13:25.70
"And you, being dead
in your trespasses and the
00:13:25.73\00:13:28.97
uncircumcision of your flesh,
He has made alive together--"
00:13:29.00\00:13:32.47
Notice it mentions circumcision.
00:13:32.51\00:13:34.21
That's one of the things they've
done away with, part of the
00:13:34.24\00:13:35.91
ceremonial law.
00:13:35.94\00:13:37.45
"He has made alive together with
Him, having forgiven all your
00:13:37.48\00:13:40.25
trespasses, having wiped out
the handwriting--" It's not the
00:13:40.28\00:13:44.55
finger of God.
00:13:44.59\00:13:45.89
It's talking about
handwriting of a man.
00:13:45.92\00:13:47.96
"Of requirements--" not talking
about the Ten Commandments,
00:13:47.99\00:13:50.66
these are ordinances.
00:13:50.69\00:13:52.19
"That were against us,
which were contrary to us.
00:13:52.23\00:13:55.26
And He's taken them out of
the way, having nailed them
00:13:55.30\00:13:57.50
to the cross."
00:13:57.53\00:13:58.87
I just want to pause
here and give you some points.
00:13:58.90\00:14:02.84
The ceremonial laws were
not written on stone, they were
00:14:02.87\00:14:05.27
written on paper.
00:14:05.31\00:14:06.61
Moses instructed the children of
Israel, "Take this scroll, put
00:14:06.64\00:14:09.81
it in a pocket on the outside of
the Ark of the Covenant, that it
00:14:09.84\00:14:12.68
might be a witness against
you," uses the very words.
00:14:12.71\00:14:16.15
Paul is specifically talking
about the ceremonial laws that
00:14:16.18\00:14:19.55
were to be a witness against
them that contained ceremonial
00:14:19.59\00:14:22.52
sabbaths, wasn't talking
about the Ten Commandments
00:14:22.56\00:14:25.46
inside the Ark of the Covenant.
00:14:25.49\00:14:28.26
Going on here.
00:14:28.30\00:14:30.10
It says, "Having wiped out the
handwriting of requirements that
00:14:30.13\00:14:33.20
was against us,
which was contrary to us.
00:14:33.23\00:14:35.40
Having taken it out of the
way, nailing it to the cross."
00:14:35.44\00:14:37.74
You can't nail
stone to anything.
00:14:37.77\00:14:39.97
"Having disarmed
principalities and powers.
00:14:40.01\00:14:42.34
He made a public spectacle
of them, triumphing over them
00:14:42.38\00:14:45.05
in it.
00:14:45.08\00:14:46.38
So let no one judge you in food
or in drink--" These are the
00:14:46.41\00:14:49.18
food and drink
offerings in the sanctuary.
00:14:49.22\00:14:51.02
"Or regard of a festival
or new moon or sabbaths."
00:14:51.05\00:14:55.46
There's an S there.
00:14:55.49\00:14:56.79
"Talking about
sabbaths, which are a shadow."
00:14:56.83\00:14:59.36
He tells you what sabbaths,
the ones which are a shadow
00:14:59.39\00:15:02.26
of Christ.
00:15:02.30\00:15:03.60
All the ceremonial sabbaths and
feasts it's talking about, not
00:15:03.63\00:15:06.60
talking about the
weekly day of worship and rest.
00:15:06.63\00:15:10.97
It says here, "Don't let
anyone judge you about this, the
00:15:11.01\00:15:13.51
substances of Christ."
00:15:13.54\00:15:14.84
Those are the two verses people
typically turn to and say,
00:15:14.88\00:15:17.78
"That's one commandment that
we don't need to keep anymore."
00:15:17.81\00:15:20.38
But friends, let's
be perfectly honest.
00:15:20.42\00:15:22.35
I'm willing to go
anywhere that has the truth.
00:15:22.38\00:15:28.59
I accepted the Sabbath
truth, not because anyone else
00:15:28.62\00:15:30.99
in my family did.
00:15:31.03\00:15:32.63
Matter of fact, I knew
it might be more unpopular.
00:15:32.66\00:15:35.20
I did it only
because I had no choice.
00:15:35.23\00:15:38.87
I thought if I'm going to be
a Christian, I want to get to
00:15:38.90\00:15:41.00
heaven, I want to
be a real Christian.
00:15:41.04\00:15:43.71
And you can't convince me
that God would have these Ten
00:15:43.74\00:15:45.97
Commandments that He would speak
from a mountain for the whole
00:15:46.01\00:15:49.14
nation, thunder and lightning
was His majesty and glory, write
00:15:49.18\00:15:55.22
it with His finger in stone,
I mean what more could God do to
00:15:55.25\00:15:59.12
emphasize the glory of it all?
00:15:59.15\00:16:00.86
Give it to His people and say,
"This is to be placed in the
00:16:00.89\00:16:03.99
Holy of Holies.
00:16:04.03\00:16:05.33
It's My Word."
00:16:05.36\00:16:07.40
And then say later in the New
Testament, "Well, from here on
00:16:07.46\00:16:11.23
out, you only need
to keep nine of them."
00:16:11.27\00:16:14.54
"Can we be certain that the
present seventh day of the week
00:16:14.57\00:16:17.84
(Saturday) is the same
Sabbath that Jesus kept holy?"
00:16:17.87\00:16:21.51
How do we know that for sure?
00:16:21.54\00:16:23.31
That's pretty easy.
00:16:23.35\00:16:24.65
Just look here at the
examples you find in the Bible.
00:16:24.68\00:16:27.28
It tells us that day, the
day that Christ was crucified,
00:16:27.32\00:16:30.15
Friday, was the preparation.
00:16:30.19\00:16:32.75
They used to prepare on the
sixth day of the week by getting
00:16:32.79\00:16:35.09
their cooking, their
wood gathered and everything.
00:16:35.12\00:16:38.23
And the Sabbath drew on.
00:16:38.26\00:16:40.96
It says, "And then they returned
and they prepared spices and
00:16:41.00\00:16:43.50
fragrant oils."
00:16:43.53\00:16:44.83
Christ was crucified.
00:16:44.87\00:16:46.17
They did not finish
their work of embalming him.
00:16:46.20\00:16:48.47
"And they rested on the Sabbath
according to the commandment."
00:16:48.50\00:16:52.51
Notice Luke, a
Gentile, writes this.
00:16:52.54\00:16:54.41
That would have been a really
good place for him to say they
00:16:54.44\00:16:56.44
rested on the
old Jewish Sabbath.
00:16:56.48\00:16:58.25
He doesn't write it like that.
00:16:58.28\00:16:59.58
It says, "According
to the commandment."
00:16:59.61\00:17:02.52
He states it as a self-evident
truth for any believer
00:17:02.55\00:17:04.99
in Christ.
00:17:05.02\00:17:07.06
Now friends, I
can't get past this point.
00:17:07.09\00:17:08.86
This is a speed
bump for my logic.
00:17:08.89\00:17:11.86
How in the world could it be
that the apostles followed Jesus
00:17:11.89\00:17:15.63
for three and a half years,
heard Him teach and preach
00:17:15.66\00:17:17.73
hundreds of sermons as He went
from town to town, they lived
00:17:17.77\00:17:21.70
with Him every day, they
observed Him week after week,
00:17:21.74\00:17:24.57
when it came to burying Him,
there were no Pharisees that
00:17:24.61\00:17:28.48
were overseeing that event.
00:17:28.51\00:17:29.91
It was just the
apostles, the inner circle.
00:17:29.94\00:17:33.35
They said, "The
sun is going down.
00:17:33.38\00:17:36.35
We are not going to be able
to finish embalming Him before
00:17:36.38\00:17:40.02
Sabbath begins.
00:17:40.06\00:17:41.36
Jesus would not be pleased if
we did this kind of work on the
00:17:41.39\00:17:44.13
Sabbath day."
00:17:44.16\00:17:45.46
You can't deny
they believe that.
00:17:45.49\00:17:47.00
They say, "We'll
come back Sunday morning,
00:17:47.03\00:17:48.63
and we'll finish."
00:17:48.66\00:17:49.96
Read it, this is what happened.
00:17:50.00\00:17:52.00
They would not even finish
this labor of love because they
00:17:52.03\00:17:56.20
believed it would
displease the Lord.
00:17:56.24\00:17:58.14
Jesus never gave them the
impression that it didn't matter
00:17:58.17\00:18:01.91
because they wouldn't even
violate the Sabbath to finish
00:18:01.94\00:18:04.38
burying Him.
00:18:04.41\00:18:05.75
You see what I'm saying?
00:18:05.78\00:18:07.75
And it does matter.
00:18:07.78\00:18:10.82
"Now on the first day of
the week, they came early
00:18:10.85\00:18:13.39
to the tomb."
00:18:13.42\00:18:14.72
So, one thing we just
learned here is you've got the
00:18:14.76\00:18:17.29
Preparation Day, which we call,
some people call it Good Friday.
00:18:17.33\00:18:22.80
Do you realize that Jesus
died just before the Sabbath?
00:18:22.83\00:18:26.77
He said, "It is finished."
00:18:26.80\00:18:28.47
Then Jesus went to sleep,
and He woke up Sunday morning to
00:18:28.50\00:18:32.94
continue His work
as our high priest.
00:18:32.97\00:18:36.08
Jesus even kept the
Sabbath in His death.
00:18:36.11\00:18:40.65
He finished His
work of saving man.
00:18:40.68\00:18:42.45
He rested, just
like Jesus rested.
00:18:42.48\00:18:45.25
You know on the sixth day of
the week, God put Adam to sleep.
00:18:45.29\00:18:48.02
He opened his side
and out came a bride.
00:18:48.06\00:18:52.06
You know the story?
00:18:52.09\00:18:54.03
On the sixth day of the week,
Jesus had his side opened up
00:18:54.10\00:18:56.73
with a Roman spear
and blood came out,
00:18:56.77\00:18:58.50
and the church was born.
00:18:58.53\00:19:01.00
And then He rested on
the Sabbath just like Adam.
00:19:01.04\00:19:04.41
This is truth
that's been lost, friends.
00:19:04.44\00:19:06.47
And people are
missing the blessing.
00:19:06.51\00:19:08.24
So, you got Preparation Day,
what we would call, what day?
00:19:08.28\00:19:11.18
Friday.
00:19:11.21\00:19:12.51
Then you get the Sabbath day.
00:19:12.55\00:19:13.85
We commonly call it--these are
Roman names Sunday and Saturday.
00:19:13.88\00:19:16.89
And then the
first day of the week,
00:19:16.92\00:19:18.42
they call that Easter Sunday.
00:19:18.45\00:19:20.26
Now, is it important that Jesus
rose the first day of the week?
00:19:20.29\00:19:23.73
Absolutely.
00:19:23.76\00:19:25.06
But did He
change the Sabbath day?
00:19:25.09\00:19:27.60
No. Why would He need to?
00:19:27.60\00:19:29.63
Was there anything wrong with
the first choice that God made?
00:19:29.66\00:19:32.57
It's not a man or a church
that picked the seventh day,
00:19:32.60\00:19:34.54
God picked it.
00:19:34.57\00:19:35.87
Said, "I bless that day.
00:19:35.90\00:19:37.21
I've hallowed that day."
00:19:37.24\00:19:38.54
Do we find anywhere in the Bible
where God said, "I blessed or
00:19:38.57\00:19:40.38
hallowed a different day"?
00:19:40.41\00:19:42.21
In fact, I'm going to ask
the studio, if you want, you can
00:19:42.24\00:19:44.31
turn the camera around.
00:19:44.35\00:19:45.65
I don't want to put
you on the spot, but just
00:19:45.68\00:19:47.25
to demonstrate this point.
00:19:47.28\00:19:48.58
Show me--I know
there's people here from
00:19:48.62\00:19:50.35
all different backgrounds.
00:19:50.39\00:19:51.69
Name one Scripture, you
hold up your hand, you tell me,
00:19:51.72\00:19:53.92
I'll repeat it.
00:19:53.96\00:19:55.26
Name one Scripture where we are
commanded anywhere to keep the
00:19:55.29\00:19:57.46
first day of the
week as the Sabbath.
00:19:57.49\00:20:01.20
There is none.
00:20:01.23\00:20:02.53
The only command to keep
a day is the seventh day.
00:20:02.56\00:20:06.67
You know, I think it's
interesting that if I were to
00:20:06.70\00:20:10.81
tell you tomorrow there's going
to be a new law and the speed
00:20:10.84\00:20:16.24
limit in Northern California is
90 miles an hour, would any of
00:20:16.28\00:20:21.52
you believe me?
00:20:21.55\00:20:23.39
Some of you would like that.
00:20:23.42\00:20:25.15
You might try it even.
00:20:25.19\00:20:26.86
Some of you are
already doing it.
00:20:26.89\00:20:30.49
But you wouldn't believe
me that that's been posted.
00:20:30.53\00:20:32.93
You know why you
wouldn't believe me?
00:20:32.96\00:20:34.73
Because a government has a
responsibility that if it's
00:20:34.73\00:20:37.67
going to change a law that is a
major law that's going to impact
00:20:37.70\00:20:41.34
all of its citizens, that
it needs to carefully promote,
00:20:41.37\00:20:44.54
advertise, announce that change.
00:20:44.57\00:20:46.68
You see what I'm saying?
00:20:46.71\00:20:48.38
One of the Ten Commandments
that the people of God had been
00:20:48.41\00:20:52.31
keeping for ages, if God was
going to change that, you'd find
00:20:52.35\00:20:55.58
some announcement somewhere.
00:20:55.62\00:20:57.42
You'd find some declaration.
00:20:57.45\00:20:58.75
You'd find some event.
00:20:58.79\00:21:00.19
There'd be something stupendous.
00:21:00.22\00:21:02.16
The reason that you find silence
in the Bible is because it was
00:21:02.19\00:21:06.33
assumed by all the New Testament
fathers and writers and apostles
00:21:06.36\00:21:11.00
that we're still
keeping the original.
00:21:11.03\00:21:13.77
Matter of fact, it wasn't until
a few hundred years after Christ
00:21:13.80\00:21:16.34
that a change began to come in.
00:21:16.37\00:21:18.54
The Jews became
very unpopular in Rome.
00:21:18.57\00:21:21.64
And some of the Christians,
wanting to distance themselves
00:21:21.68\00:21:23.81
from the Jews, they said,
"Well, maybe we ought to keep
00:21:23.85\00:21:26.82
two days a week."
00:21:26.85\00:21:28.55
Since the Romans,
Sunday was a big day for them.
00:21:28.58\00:21:31.02
That's why you get the
word "Sunday," the first day
00:21:31.05\00:21:33.22
was sort of a festival.
00:21:33.25\00:21:34.56
And they said, "You know,
we'll be able to win more Romans
00:21:34.59\00:21:37.56
into the church.
00:21:37.59\00:21:38.89
It'll be evangelistic."
00:21:38.93\00:21:40.23
They argued, "This
will be good evangelism.
00:21:40.26\00:21:41.53
It'll be easier
for them to relate."
00:21:41.56\00:21:43.77
So, for a while
they kept two days.
00:21:43.80\00:21:45.93
Gradually, they began to give
up the day, the seventh day.
00:21:45.97\00:21:50.11
They called the seventh day a
day of fasting, and they called
00:21:50.14\00:21:53.44
the first day a day of feasting.
00:21:53.48\00:21:54.71
Nowhere in the Bible does it say
you have to fast on the Sabbath.
00:21:54.74\00:21:57.85
Now, which would you
prefer, a day of feasting
00:21:57.88\00:22:00.52
or a day of fasting?
00:22:00.55\00:22:03.45
The day of fasting
started becoming very unpopular.
00:22:03.49\00:22:07.09
And gradually,
they moved things.
00:22:07.12\00:22:09.09
It didn't happen overnight.
00:22:09.12\00:22:10.43
This happened over centuries.
00:22:10.46\00:22:11.76
And we'll give you
more history on that.
00:22:11.79\00:22:13.43
In over 105 languages in the
world, the word for the seventh
00:22:13.46\00:22:17.17
day of the week is "Sabbath."
00:22:17.20\00:22:20.20
[Speaking in Spanish]
00:22:20.24\00:22:27.08
Russian, [Speaking in Russian]
00:22:27.11\00:22:30.05
Yeah, right?
00:22:30.08\00:22:31.38
A hundred and five
languages of the world.
00:22:31.41\00:22:32.71
Isn't that interesting?
00:22:32.75\00:22:34.05
These are in places
that weren't even Christian.
00:22:34.08\00:22:35.62
The word for Saturday is Sabbath
day, that's because it goes way
00:22:35.65\00:22:40.19
back before the
time of the Jews.
00:22:40.22\00:22:43.22
I remember talking to--I used to
pastor on an Indian reservation
00:22:43.26\00:22:45.93
and one of the Sioux Indians
said, "Oh, yeah, we had a
00:22:45.96\00:22:48.06
seven-day week
before you guys showed up."
00:22:48.10\00:22:50.87
They call--the Navajo
call the white men bilagaana.
00:22:50.90\00:22:53.40
They said, "Before you
bilagaanas came," and they said,
00:22:53.44\00:22:55.54
"The seventh day
was the Sabbath."
00:22:55.57\00:22:57.64
I go, "Well,
that's interesting."
00:22:57.67\00:22:59.87
Someone said, "Well,
the calendar's been changed.
00:22:59.91\00:23:02.58
We don't know
what day is what day."
00:23:02.61\00:23:04.28
Well, friends, you might
convince me that, you know, some
00:23:04.31\00:23:07.28
Jewish family got stuck on a
deserted island, they lost track
00:23:07.32\00:23:09.92
of time, and they forgot
what day the Sabbath was.
00:23:09.95\00:23:12.19
But you're not going to convince
me that 15 million Jews around
00:23:12.22\00:23:14.59
the world all woke up and
forgot what their holy day was.
00:23:14.62\00:23:17.89
We know what day it is.
00:23:17.93\00:23:19.36
The calendar has been changed.
00:23:19.39\00:23:21.00
We're under the
Gregorian calendar now.
00:23:21.03\00:23:23.87
In 1582 when it was changed from
the Julian calendar, they added
00:23:23.90\00:23:27.60
ten days to the calendar and
October 5 went to October 15,
00:23:27.64\00:23:33.41
but Thursday was
followed by Friday.
00:23:33.44\00:23:36.24
People are confused.
00:23:36.28\00:23:37.58
They think because a calendar
and the week are on the same
00:23:37.61\00:23:39.68
piece of paper,
that they're intertwined.
00:23:39.71\00:23:41.82
They're two completely separate
distinct cycles of time.
00:23:41.85\00:23:45.35
That's why your birthday
falls on a different day
00:23:45.39\00:23:47.19
of the week every year.
00:23:47.22\00:23:49.26
So, changes in the
calendar don't do that.
00:23:49.29\00:23:51.46
Someone wrote a letter
to the US Naval Observatory.
00:23:51.49\00:23:54.23
They said, "Have you seen
that there's any change in the
00:23:54.30\00:23:56.03
calendar that has
affected the weekly cycle?"
00:23:56.06\00:23:58.67
They wrote back and they said,
"In all of our research, we have
00:23:58.70\00:24:01.57
not seen--from the time of the
Christian era, we've not seen
00:24:01.60\00:24:04.21
anything that has changed
the calendar to affect the
00:24:04.24\00:24:06.91
continuity of the weekly cycle."
00:24:06.94\00:24:09.04
So, when people say
that, that's a myth argument.
00:24:09.08\00:24:13.15
"Does the Bible teach that God's
end-time people would also be
00:24:13.18\00:24:16.48
keeping His
seventh-day Sabbath holy?"
00:24:16.52\00:24:19.39
You can read in
Revelation 12:17, the dragon.
00:24:19.42\00:24:22.06
Who's the dragon?
00:24:22.09\00:24:24.16
The devil, was wroth
or enraged with the woman.
00:24:24.19\00:24:26.90
We've read this
before, but it bears repeating.
00:24:26.93\00:24:29.30
Who's the woman, the church?
00:24:29.33\00:24:32.53
And he went to make war with the
remnant or the remainder of her
00:24:32.57\00:24:35.30
seed, her offspring, that keep
the commandments of God and as
00:24:35.34\00:24:40.88
the testimony of Jesus Christ.
00:24:40.91\00:24:44.15
Again, you can read here in
Revelation 14:12 just before it
00:24:44.18\00:24:46.88
talks about the Second Coming,
"Here is the patience of the
00:24:46.92\00:24:49.88
saints; here are those who
keep the commandments of God."
00:24:49.92\00:24:53.25
Now, would that be
one or two of them?
00:24:53.29\00:24:55.39
And they get the faith of Jesus.
00:24:55.42\00:24:57.63
You realize that everybody
keeps some of the commandments
00:24:57.66\00:25:00.23
some of the time.
00:25:00.26\00:25:02.00
You do a pretty good
job when you're asleep.
00:25:02.03\00:25:05.23
People in jail all keep
some of the commandments
00:25:05.27\00:25:07.27
some of the time.
00:25:07.30\00:25:09.04
You know, it says in Deuteronomy
chapter 5, "O, that there was
00:25:09.07\00:25:13.21
such a heart in them," God
is speaking, "O, that there was
00:25:13.24\00:25:16.01
such a heart in them that they
would fear Me and keep all of My
00:25:16.04\00:25:19.11
commandments always that
it might be well with them
00:25:19.15\00:25:22.92
and their children."
00:25:22.95\00:25:24.79
God wants you to be blessed.
00:25:24.82\00:25:27.12
The Bible says, "If you
know these things, happy are ye
00:25:27.16\00:25:30.89
if you do them.
00:25:30.93\00:25:33.16
Great peace have
they that love thy law."
00:25:33.19\00:25:35.50
Sometimes people hear,
people hear the Sabbath truth,
00:25:35.53\00:25:38.40
and they think it's a burden.
00:25:38.43\00:25:39.73
And God said, "No,
no, it's a blessing.
00:25:39.77\00:25:41.67
I want to bless you."
00:25:41.70\00:25:43.51
And they're missing
out on that blessing.
00:25:43.54\00:25:46.01
The Bible tells us before Jesus
comes again, there's going to be
00:25:46.04\00:25:48.64
a revival of
returning to His law.
00:25:48.68\00:25:52.01
And this is a commandment that
has been neglected, and it may
00:25:52.05\00:25:54.58
be a real point of
contention in the last days.
00:25:54.62\00:25:58.22
Last chapter in the Bible,
"Blessed are those," there's
00:25:58.25\00:26:01.89
that blessing again,
"who do His commandments."
00:26:01.92\00:26:04.86
Those who hear it?
00:26:04.89\00:26:06.46
Those who listened to it? No.
00:26:06.49\00:26:08.30
"Blessed are those who do His
commandments, that they may have
00:26:08.33\00:26:10.93
a right to the tree of
life, and they enter through
00:26:10.97\00:26:13.57
the gates of the city."
00:26:13.60\00:26:14.90
"Pastor Doug, I thought that
we're being saved by faith."
00:26:14.94\00:26:16.91
You are saved by faith.
00:26:16.94\00:26:18.24
But do you know the Bible says
you're judged by your works?
00:26:18.27\00:26:21.18
It's not me.
00:26:21.21\00:26:22.51
The Bible says, "Behold, He
comes and He'll reward everyone
00:26:22.54\00:26:24.48
according to his works."
00:26:24.51\00:26:26.78
Those are the words of Jesus.
00:26:26.82\00:26:28.52
"But I thought
we're saved by faith."
00:26:28.55\00:26:30.09
You are saved by faith
and if you are saved by faith,
00:26:30.12\00:26:32.82
your works will be different.
00:26:32.85\00:26:35.06
It's that simple.
00:26:35.09\00:26:37.33
And so, it's like, you know,
Jesus said, "Not everyone that
00:26:37.36\00:26:40.80
says unto me, 'Lord, Lord,' will
enter the kingdom but they that
00:26:40.83\00:26:43.63
do the will of My Father."
00:26:43.67\00:26:46.43
And the simplest expression
of God's will in the Bible
00:26:46.47\00:26:49.50
is the Ten Commandments.
00:26:49.54\00:26:51.44
It says that in
Psalm chapter 40.
00:26:51.47\00:26:53.71
"Yea, Lord, I
love to do Thy will.
00:26:53.74\00:26:55.71
Thy law is within my heart."
