MALE ANNOUNCER: THIS
PRESENTATION IS BROUGHT TO YOU
00:00:02.06\00:00:03.60
BY THE FRIENDS OF THE
AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY.
00:00:03.63\00:00:06.40
DOUG BATCHELOR: EACH
BRANCH OF THE US ARMED SERVICES
00:00:10.11\00:00:12.67
HAS ONE OR MORE
ELITE TEAMS OF COMMANDOS.
00:00:12.71\00:00:16.34
THEY FIGHT USING SOPHISTICATED
GUERRILLA WARFARE TACTICS.
00:00:16.38\00:00:20.75
TO SERVE IN ONE OF
THESE SELECT UNITS,
00:00:20.78\00:00:22.78
A SOLDIER MUST BE
HIGHLY DISCIPLINED,
00:00:22.82\00:00:25.35
AND THEY PASS THROUGH
INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT PHYSICAL
00:00:25.39\00:00:28.26
AND MENTAL TRAINING.
00:00:28.29\00:00:30.39
EVEN A SMALL TEAM
OF THESE COMMANDOS,
00:00:30.43\00:00:32.69
BECAUSE OF THEIR
INTENSE TRAINING,
00:00:32.73\00:00:34.30
CAN ACHIEVE GREAT
VICTORIES IN A SHORT TIME.
00:00:34.36\00:00:37.50
DURING THE GULF WAR,
A TEAM OF US NAVY SEALS
00:00:37.53\00:00:41.44
CREATED A CONVINCING DIVERSION
00:00:41.47\00:00:43.44
BY STORMING THE
BEACHES OF KUWAIT.
00:00:43.47\00:00:45.87
AND THEY CREATED SUCH
HAVOC THAT THE IRAQI GENERALS
00:00:45.91\00:00:48.91
WERE COMPLETELY FOOLED
INTO THINKING THE US-LED ATTACK
00:00:48.94\00:00:52.15
WAS COMING FROM THE SEA.
00:00:52.18\00:00:54.68
WITHIN A COUPLE OF
DAYS, THE WHOLE WAR WAS OVER.
00:00:54.72\00:00:57.75
AND IT ALL STARTED
WITH LESS THAN 20 SOLDIERS.
00:00:57.79\00:01:01.22
THE BOOK OF
REVELATION TELLS ABOUT
00:01:01.26\00:01:03.29
ANOTHER SPECIAL FORCES UNIT,
00:01:03.32\00:01:05.66
AN ARMY OF 144,000 THAT
HAVE THE GREATEST MISSION
00:01:05.69\00:01:09.66
IN THE LAST DAYS, TO PREPARE
THE WORLD FOR JESUS' RETURN.
00:01:09.70\00:01:14.37
LET'S EXPLORE TOGETHER
WHAT THE BIBLE FACTS ARE,
00:01:14.40\00:01:16.81
ABOUT THE 144,000, AND
LEARN HOW YOU CAN RECEIVE
00:01:16.84\00:01:20.81
THE SEAL OF THE LIVING GOD.
00:01:20.84\00:01:22.61
DOUG: TONIGHT, OUR PRESENTATION
IS GOING TO BE DEALING
00:01:26.85\00:01:29.05
WITH THE SUBJECT OF THE 144,000,
00:01:29.08\00:01:31.95
WHICH YOU FIND IN CHAPTER 7
00:01:31.99\00:01:34.42
AND 14 OF
REVELATION, AND THE SEAL OF GOD.
00:01:34.46\00:01:39.29
AND IT PICTURES A TIME
WHEN ANGELS ARE HOLDING
00:01:39.33\00:01:43.77
BACK WINDS OF STRIFE.
00:01:43.80\00:01:45.93
AND I REMEMBER
HEARING A STORY ABOUT...
00:01:45.97\00:01:48.70
I THINK IT WAS
IN 2012, IN MARCH,
00:01:48.74\00:01:52.44
PAUL WALDEN HAD HIS
WIFE AND DAUGHTER CALL.
00:01:52.47\00:01:55.18
THEY WERE AT WORK AND THEY SAID,
00:01:55.21\00:01:56.61
"HAVE YOU SEEN THE NEWS?
00:01:56.64\00:01:57.98
THERE'S A TERRIBLE
STREAM OF TORNADOES
00:01:58.01\00:02:00.55
THAT ARE COMING THROUGH."
00:02:00.58\00:02:01.92
AND HE NEVER PAID MUCH
ATTENTION TO STORM WARNINGS,
00:02:01.95\00:02:04.59
BUT HE THOUGHT HE
OUGHT TO STEP OUTSIDE
00:02:04.62\00:02:05.92
AND LOOK AT THE SKY.
00:02:05.95\00:02:07.26
AND, RIGHT WHEN HE WENT
OUT TO LOOK UP AT THE SKY,
00:02:07.29\00:02:09.89
HE SAW THIS GREAT BIG GRAY WALL
THAT WAS MOVING TOWARDS HIM,
00:02:09.92\00:02:13.60
THAT WAS CHURNING UP
HIS NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE.
00:02:13.63\00:02:16.53
HE THOUGHT, "OH,
THIS IS THE REAL THING."
00:02:16.56\00:02:18.97
HE RAN INSIDE, HE
GRABBED A COUPLE OF DOGS,
00:02:19.00\00:02:21.04
AND HE JUMPED IN THE
CLOSET RIGHT BY THEIR STAIRCASE.
00:02:21.07\00:02:24.57
AND THEN IT HIT.
00:02:24.61\00:02:26.17
YOU'VE HEARD THE EXPRESSION
"IT SOUNDS LIKE A FREIGHT TRAIN
00:02:26.21\00:02:28.68
IS GOING BY WHEN YOU
HAVE A TORNADO GO BY"?
00:02:28.71\00:02:32.65
AND THE WHOLE
HOUSE BEGAN TO SHAKE
00:02:32.68\00:02:34.52
AND HE HAD BOTH
HANDS ON THE DOOR,
00:02:34.55\00:02:37.69
WITH ALL OF HIS
STRENGTH HE WAS HANGING ON
00:02:37.72\00:02:39.92
AND TRYING TO KEEP THE DOOR SHUT
00:02:39.95\00:02:41.62
AS THE SUCTION OF THE STORM
00:02:41.66\00:02:43.06
WAS TRYING TO PULL THE DOOR OPEN
00:02:43.09\00:02:45.36
AND SUCK OUT HIM AND HIS DOGS.
00:02:45.39\00:02:47.76
AND IT WASN'T VERY
LONG BEFORE IT STOPPED,
00:02:47.76\00:02:50.13
THE NOISE SETTLED, IT
MOVED DOWN AND PASSED AWAY,
00:02:50.17\00:02:53.17
AND HE FINALLY GOT THE
COURAGE TO OPEN THE DOOR,
00:02:53.20\00:02:54.87
AND THIS IS A
PICTURE OF WHAT HE SAW
00:02:54.90\00:02:56.84
WHEN HE STEPPED OUTSIDE.
00:02:56.87\00:02:58.51
THE HOUSE WAS GONE, HE
WALKED OUT OF THE CLOSET
00:02:58.54\00:03:01.08
AND HE SAW BLUE
SKY, EVERYTHING WAS GONE
00:03:01.11\00:03:04.01
EXCEPT THE CLOSET
AND SOME OF THE STAIRS.
00:03:04.05\00:03:07.35
AND HE SAID IT WASN'T
LONG AFTER HE WALKED OUTSIDE
00:03:07.38\00:03:09.65
AND THE CLOSET FELL OVER
AND THEN HAIL BEGAN TO FALL
00:03:09.68\00:03:12.65
AND HE FELT LIKE HE
WAS GETTING BEATEN UP
00:03:12.69\00:03:14.29
BY A BASEBALL BAT.
00:03:14.32\00:03:16.93
AND HE FOUND A CONTAINER
THAT HELD VACUUM CLEANING
00:03:16.96\00:03:19.66
SUPPLIES HE PUT IT
ON HIS HEAD, HE SAID,
00:03:19.69\00:03:21.23
OR HE WOULD HAVE
DIED FROM THE HAIL.
00:03:21.26\00:03:24.37
AND HIS WIFE ALWAYS
TEASES HIM ABOUT WALKING AROUND
00:03:24.40\00:03:26.94
WITH A VACUUM
CLEANER ACCESSORY BOX
00:03:26.97\00:03:29.57
ON HIS HEAD TO SAVE HIS LIFE.
00:03:29.60\00:03:31.97
BUT HE WAS TRYING
TO HOLD BACK THE STORM.
00:03:32.01\00:03:37.38
WELL, HUMANS AREN'T VERY GOOD
AT THAT, ANGELS DO A GOOD JOB.
00:03:37.41\00:03:40.75
REVELATION
PICTURES THIS HAPPENING.
00:03:40.78\00:03:43.18
LET'S START WITH THE 144,000
IN CHAPTER 7 OF REVELATION
00:03:43.22\00:03:47.39
AND YOU CAN BEGIN WITH
VERSE 1, CHAPTER 7, VERSE 1,
00:03:47.42\00:03:50.49
"AFTER THESE THINGS, I
SAW FOUR ANGELS STANDING
00:03:51.19\00:03:55.36
AT THE FOUR
CORNERS OF THE EARTH..."
00:03:55.40\00:03:56.77
NOW WHAT DO THE
FOUR ANGELS REPRESENT?
00:03:56.80\00:03:58.73
THE DIVISIONS OF THE COMPASS.
00:03:58.77\00:04:00.40
IT'S TALKING ABOUT SIMPLY
NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, AND WEST,
00:04:00.44\00:04:03.14
IT'S A UNIVERSAL PROBLEM.
00:04:03.17\00:04:05.17
IT'S A UNIVERSAL SEALING
THAT'S GOING TO TAKE PLACE.
00:04:05.21\00:04:09.64
"HOLDING THE FOUR
WINDS OF THE EARTH,
00:04:09.68\00:04:11.85
THAT THE WIND SHOULD NOT
BLOW ON THE EARTH, OR THE SEA,
00:04:11.88\00:04:15.32
OR ANY TREE."
00:04:15.35\00:04:16.75
THAT'S TALKING ABOUT EVERYTHING
ON THE PLANET, THE EARTH,
00:04:16.79\00:04:19.55
THE SEA, THE TREES
UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS,
00:04:19.59\00:04:21.86
IT'S GOING TO BLOW EVENTUALLY.
00:04:21.89\00:04:23.73
THOSE WINDS OF
STRIFE ARE REALLY...
00:04:23.76\00:04:25.89
THEY'RE KIND OF SUMMARIZED
IN THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES.
00:04:25.93\00:04:29.90
"THEN I SAW ANOTHER
ANGEL ASCENDING FROM THE EAST,
00:04:29.93\00:04:32.90
HAVING THE SEAL
OF THE LIVING GOD.
00:04:32.93\00:04:36.00
AND HE CRIED
WITH A LOUD VOICE...
00:04:36.04\00:04:37.61
SAYING, 'DO NOT HARM
THE EARTH, OR THE SEA,
00:04:37.64\00:04:40.84
OR THE TREES TILL WE HAVE SEALED
00:04:40.88\00:04:43.55
THE SERVANTS OF OUR
GOD ON THEIR FOREHEADS.'"
00:04:43.58\00:04:47.45
AND IT GOES ON TO SAY,
"I HEARD THE NUMBER OF THOSE
00:04:47.48\00:04:49.72
THAT WERE SEALED
AND IT WAS 144,000,
00:04:49.75\00:04:53.76
12,000 FROM EACH OF
THE 12 TRIBES OF ISRAEL."
00:04:53.79\00:04:57.69
AND IT'S AN
INTERESTING LIST THAT IS GIVEN.
00:04:57.73\00:04:59.89
THEN YOU'LL ALSO READ IN
CHAPTER 14 OF REVELATION,
00:04:59.93\00:05:03.03
YOU FIND THE SECOND
REFERENCE TO THE 144,000,
00:05:03.06\00:05:06.90
AND IT GIVES US A LITTLE
MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THEM.
00:05:06.94\00:05:10.01
"I LOOKED, AND BEHOLD, A LAMB,"
00:05:10.04\00:05:12.04
THIS IS VERSE 1 OF
CHAPTER 14 REVELATION,
00:05:12.07\00:05:14.78
"A LAMB STANDING ON MOUNT ZION,
00:05:14.81\00:05:17.21
AND WITH HIM 144,000
HAVING HIS FATHER'S NAME
00:05:17.25\00:05:21.25
WRITTEN ON THEIR FOREHEADS."
00:05:21.28\00:05:22.58
WELL, 7 SAID IT
WAS THE SEAL OF GOD,
00:05:22.62\00:05:24.45
HERE IT SAYS HIS FATHER'S
NAME. THEY MUST BE SIMILAR.
00:05:24.49\00:05:27.69
"AND I HEARD A
VOICE FROM HEAVEN,
00:05:27.72\00:05:29.26
LIKE THE VOICE OF MANY WATERS,
00:05:29.29\00:05:30.79
AND LIKE THE
VOICE OF LOUD THUNDER.
00:05:30.83\00:05:32.93
AND I HEARD THE SOUND OF HARPS
00:05:32.96\00:05:34.36
AND HARPISTS
PLAYING THEIR HARPS.
00:05:34.36\00:05:36.56
AND THEY SANG AS IT WERE A
NEW SONG BEFORE THE THRONE,
00:05:36.60\00:05:39.97
BEFORE THE FOUR
LIVING CREATURES,
00:05:40.00\00:05:41.30
AND BEFORE THE
ELDERS, AND NO ONE COULD LEARN
00:05:41.34\00:05:43.71
THAT SONG EXCEPT THE 144,000
00:05:43.74\00:05:46.57
WHO WERE
REDEEMED FROM THE EARTH.
00:05:46.61\00:05:48.84
THESE ARE THE ONES
00:05:48.88\00:05:50.18
WHO WERE NOT DEFILED WITH WOMEN,
00:05:50.21\00:05:52.15
FOR THEY ARE VIRGINS."
00:05:52.18\00:05:53.48
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
00:05:53.52\00:05:55.15
"THESE ARE THE ONES WHO FOLLOW
THE LAMB WHEREVER HE GOES.
00:05:55.18\00:05:58.52
THEY WERE
REDEEMED FROM AMONG MEN
00:05:58.55\00:06:00.46
BEING THE FIRSTFRUITS
TO GOD AND TO THE LAMB.
00:06:00.49\00:06:03.79
AND IN THEIR MOUTH WAS
FOUND NO DECEIT FOR THEY ARE
00:06:03.83\00:06:06.86
WITHOUT FAULT
BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD."
00:06:06.90\00:06:09.76
AND THEN IT GOES
ON TO ANOTHER PASSAGE
00:06:09.80\00:06:11.93
THAT IS RELATED, BUT
WE'LL PAUSE RIGHT THERE.
00:06:11.97\00:06:14.37
SO YOU'VE GOT THE
144,000 ARE OBVIOUSLY
00:06:14.40\00:06:16.40
A VERY IMPORTANT GROUP.
00:06:16.44\00:06:17.77
YOU'VE GOT
CHAPTER 7 ADDRESSES THEM,
00:06:17.81\00:06:20.04
CHAPTER 14 ADDRESSES THEM.
00:06:20.08\00:06:21.41
THEY'RE VERY CLOSE TO THE LORD.
00:06:21.44\00:06:22.94
THEY RECEIVE A SPECIAL SEAL.
00:06:22.98\00:06:24.65
NOW, TYPICALLY, IF YOU TALK
TO SOMEBODY ABOUT REVELATION
00:06:24.68\00:06:28.02
AND SOMETHING IN THE FOREHEAD,
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT?
00:06:28.05\00:06:31.85
EVERYBODY
AUTOMATICALLY THINKS ABOUT,
00:06:31.89\00:06:34.39
"OH, YOU DON'T WANT
ANYTHING IN YOUR FOREHEAD
00:06:34.42\00:06:35.76
IN THE LAST DAYS."
00:06:35.79\00:06:37.09
SOMEONE TRIES TO PUT
ANYTHING IN YOUR FOREHEAD,
00:06:37.13\00:06:38.46
RUN THE OTHER WAY.
00:06:38.49\00:06:40.46
BUT IF YOU STUDY THE BIBLE,
YOU'LL FIND OUT, IN REVELATION,
00:06:40.50\00:06:44.10
EVERYBODY'S GOT
SOMETHING IN THEIR FOREHEADS
00:06:44.13\00:06:46.30
IN THE LAST DAYS.
00:06:46.33\00:06:47.90
YOU'VE EITHER GOT
THE MARK OF THE BEAST
00:06:47.94\00:06:49.57
OR YOU HAVE THE SEAL OF GOD.
00:06:49.60\00:06:51.51
YOU JUST WANT TO MAKE
SURE YOU'VE GOT THE RIGHT MARK.
00:06:51.54\00:06:53.51
AMEN.
00:06:53.54\00:06:54.84
AND, SORT OF, WITH
THAT AS AN INTRODUCTION,
00:06:54.88\00:06:56.34
LET'S GO THROUGH
SOME OF OUR QUESTIONS NOW
00:06:56.38\00:06:58.91
THAT TALK ABOUT THE
144,000 AND THE SEAL OF GOD.
00:06:58.95\00:07:02.98
FIRST QUESTION, WHAT
CLUES DOES REVELATION PROVIDE
00:07:03.02\00:07:06.72
TO HELP US IDENTIFY
WHO ARE THE 144,000?
00:07:06.76\00:07:11.96
WELL, THERE'S
SEVERAL THINGS, FIRST OF ALL,
00:07:11.99\00:07:13.90
IT SAYS THERE'S 12,000
FROM THE 12 TRIBES OF ISRAEL.
00:07:13.93\00:07:18.13
NOW THE LIST OF TRIBES
THAT ARE GIVEN IN REVELATION
00:07:18.17\00:07:21.40
IS DIFFERENT FROM ANY
OTHER LIST IN THE BIBLE.
00:07:21.44\00:07:24.87
THE TWELVE TRIBES ARE
LISTED MANY TIMES IN THE BIBLE.
00:07:24.91\00:07:28.04
THEY USUALLY
START WITH THE FIRSTBORN
00:07:28.08\00:07:29.38
WHO WAS JUDAH...
00:07:29.41\00:07:30.71
I'M SORRY, REUBEN.
00:07:30.75\00:07:32.05
BUT, IN REVELATION,
IT STARTS WITH JUDAH.
00:07:32.08\00:07:34.72
IT'S DIFFERENT.
IT'S A DIFFERENT LIST.
00:07:34.75\00:07:36.99
YOU'LL FIND THAT
IT TALKS ABOUT JOSEPH,
00:07:37.02\00:07:42.19
BUT EPHRAIM IS LEFT OUT.
00:07:42.22\00:07:44.86
AND SO IT'S A UNIQUE
LIST AND YOU NEED TO JUST SAY,
00:07:44.89\00:07:48.73
"WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
00:07:48.76\00:07:50.07
ARE THESE REAL, LITERAL
JEWS IT'S TALKING ABOUT?"
00:07:50.10\00:07:52.80
IN THE LAST DAYS,
HE'S GOING TO GET 12,000
00:07:52.83\00:07:55.04
FROM EACH OF THE TRIBES.
00:07:55.07\00:07:56.37
IF YOU KNOW YOUR JEWISH HISTORY,
00:07:56.40\00:07:57.71
YOU'LL KNOW THAT
SOME OF THE TRIBES
00:07:57.74\00:07:59.37
HAD VERY FEW PEOPLE, AND
JUDAH HAD LOTS OF PEOPLE,
00:07:59.41\00:08:02.34
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS.
00:08:02.38\00:08:04.11
AND SO THE IDEA OF
GETTING AN EVEN NUMBER
00:08:04.15\00:08:06.58
FROM EACH OF THE TRIBES,
THAT WOULD BE INTERESTING,
00:08:06.61\00:08:09.42
BUT I BELIEVE THEY'RE ACTUALLY
TALKING ABOUT SPIRITUAL JEWS.
00:08:09.45\00:08:12.05
THAT MEANS IT CAN
INCLUDE LITERAL JEWS
00:08:12.09\00:08:13.89
AND IT CAN INCLUDE
PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN ADOPTED
00:08:13.92\00:08:16.86
INTO THE SEED OF
ABRAHAM BY ACCEPTING CHRIST.
00:08:16.89\00:08:21.40
LET ME TELL YOU WHY.
00:08:21.43\00:08:23.40
YOU READ IN THE
BIBLE IN THE OLD TESTAMENT,
00:08:23.43\00:08:25.00
FOR INSTANCE, GO TO
2 KINGS 17, VERSE 6.
00:08:25.03\00:08:28.87
TEN OF THE TRIBES WERE CONQUERED
00:08:28.90\00:08:31.07
BY THE ASSYRIANS WAY
BACK HUNDREDS OF YEARS
00:08:31.11\00:08:34.64
BEFORE JESUS WAS BORN.
00:08:34.68\00:08:37.18
YOU READ THERE,
00:08:37.21\00:08:38.51
"IN THE NINTH
YEAR OF KING HOSHEA,
00:08:38.55\00:08:40.52
THE KING OF
ASSYRIA TOOK SAMARIA"
00:08:40.55\00:08:42.48
THAT'S THE CAPITAL OF
ISRAEL, THE NORTHERN KINGDOM.
00:08:42.52\00:08:45.05
"AND CARRIED ISRAEL,"
THOSE ARE THE TEN TRIBES,
00:08:45.09\00:08:47.26
"AWAY TO ASSYRIA."
00:08:47.29\00:08:49.42
NOW, LATER, THE
SOUTHERN KINGDOM OF JUDAH,
00:08:49.46\00:08:52.16
THEY WERE CARRIED TO
BABYLON, BUT THEY CAME BACK.
00:08:52.19\00:08:54.73
THOSE CARRIED OFF TO
ASSYRIA LARGELY INTERMARRIED
00:08:54.76\00:08:58.47
AND DISAPPEARED
AS A DISTINCT PEOPLE.
00:08:58.50\00:09:01.70
AND SO WHEN REVELATION SAYS
00:09:01.74\00:09:03.04
12,000 FROM THE
TRIBE OF MANASSEH,
00:09:03.07\00:09:05.64
CAN YOU PLEASE SHOW ME SOMEBODY
00:09:05.67\00:09:07.44
FROM THE TRIBE
OF MANASSEH TODAY?
00:09:07.48\00:09:09.74
OR ISSACHAR OR ZEBULUN?
00:09:09.78\00:09:12.51
WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT
JEWS, YOU'RE TYPICALLY TALKING
00:09:12.55\00:09:14.78
ABOUT PEOPLE WHO ARE FROM
LEVI, JUDAH, AND BENJAMIN.
00:09:14.82\00:09:18.82
YOU READ THE BIBLE,
LONG BEFORE JESUS WAS BORN,
00:09:18.85\00:09:21.02
IT TELLS EXACTLY WHAT
HAPPENED TO THE TRIBES.
00:09:21.06\00:09:23.22
SOME OF THEM CAME
BACK DOWN AND JOINED JUDAH.
00:09:23.26\00:09:26.23
THEY INTERMARRIED
WITH THE TRIBE OF JUDAH.
00:09:26.26\00:09:28.66
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO FIND
PEOPLE WHO ARE PUREBRED PEOPLE
00:09:28.70\00:09:32.30
FROM ZEBULUN, MANASSEH,
ISSACHAR, AND SO FORTH.
00:09:32.33\00:09:37.01
SO WHAT DOES IT
MEAN WHEN IT SAYS THAT?
00:09:37.04\00:09:39.47
GALATIANS 3:29,
"AND IF YOU ARE CHRIST'S,
00:09:39.51\00:09:43.61
THEN YOU ARE ABRAHAM'S SEED,
00:09:43.65\00:09:45.78
AND HEIRS
ACCORDING TO THE PROMISE."
00:09:45.81\00:09:47.32
ALL THE PROMISES GOD
MADE TO THE JEWS IN THE BIBLE,
00:09:47.35\00:09:49.78
NEW AND OLD TESTAMENT,
00:09:49.82\00:09:51.12
YOU CAN CLAIM
THROUGH CHRIST, AMEN?
00:09:51.15\00:09:53.72
THAT'S A WONDERFUL
PROMISE, PAUL SAID THAT,
00:09:53.76\00:09:55.42
THIS IS NEW TESTAMENT.
00:09:55.46\00:09:56.79
PAUL SAID, IN
ROMANS 2:28 AND 29,
00:09:56.83\00:09:59.29
"FOR HE IS NOT A JEW
WHICH IS ONE OUTWARDLY,
00:09:59.33\00:10:02.80
NEITHER IS THAT CIRCUMCISION,
THAT IS OUTWARD IN THE FLESH,
00:10:02.83\00:10:06.13
BUT HE IS A JEW,
WHICH IS ONE INWARDLY,
00:10:06.17\00:10:08.70
AND CIRCUMCISION IS
THAT OF THE HEART..."
00:10:08.74\00:10:11.27
THIS WAS THE MESSAGE OF
JESUS AND JOHN THE BAPTIST,
00:10:11.31\00:10:13.81
THEY SAID TO
THEIR JEWISH BRETHREN,
00:10:13.84\00:10:15.48
"DO NOT THINK TO
SAY WITHIN YOURSELF
00:10:15.51\00:10:17.78
'GOD MUST SAVE US, WE
ARE CHILDREN OF ABRAHAM.'
00:10:17.81\00:10:19.88
GOD IS ABLE TO RAISE UP
00:10:19.91\00:10:21.25
FROM THE STONES
CHILDREN UNTO ABRAHAM."
00:10:21.28\00:10:24.19
AND JESUS SAID, "MANY
WILL COME FROM THE EAST
00:10:24.22\00:10:26.45
AND THE WEST AND
SIT DOWN IN THE KINGDOM
00:10:26.49\00:10:28.22
WITH ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB,"
00:10:28.26\00:10:29.56
MEANING THE GENTILES COMING
FROM THE EAST AND THE WEST,
00:10:29.59\00:10:32.43
AND THE NATURAL CHILDREN,
SOME OF THEM WHO DON'T BELIEVE,
00:10:32.46\00:10:35.06
WILL BE IN OUTER DARKNESS.
00:10:35.10\00:10:37.37
AND SO THE NEW
TESTAMENT IS REALLY CLEAR THAT
00:10:37.40\00:10:41.04
NOW THE GOSPEL GOES TO
EVERYBODY WHOSOEVER WILL.
00:10:41.07\00:10:44.34
GOD IS NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS.
00:10:44.37\00:10:46.64
SO THE IDEA THAT
TO BE 1 OF THE 144,000
00:10:46.68\00:10:49.31
YOU MUST HAVE A DNA TEST
IS NOT TAUGHT IN THE BIBLE.
00:10:49.34\00:10:53.31
GOD DOES NOT
DISCRIMINATE THAT WAY.
00:10:53.35\00:10:55.32
IF YOU ARE
ABRAHAM'S SEED, YOU ARE HEIRS
00:10:55.35\00:10:58.69
ACCORDING TO THE PROMISE, OKAY?
00:10:58.72\00:11:00.46
DOUG: DON'T GO
ANYWHERE, FRIENDS, WE'LL BE BACK

00:11:11.63\00:11:14.84
WAS MEANT TO BE LIVED?
00:11:14.87\00:11:16.27
OR IS THERE SOMETHING BETTER
OUT THERE WAITING FOR YOU?
00:11:16.30\00:11:19.74

00:11:29.72\00:11:31.42

00:12:12.96\00:12:15.96
AMAZING FACTS
FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:12:16.00\00:12:18.60
DOUG: SO WHY DOES IT GIVE THIS
LIST AND WHY IS THE LIST UNIQUE
00:12:19.93\00:12:23.74
IN REVELATION CHAPTER 7?
00:12:23.77\00:12:26.11
I'M GOING TO
READ SOMETHING TO YOU.
00:12:26.14\00:12:28.18
YOU KNOW, IN HEBREW,
WHEN THEY NAME SOMEONE,
00:12:28.21\00:12:30.08
EVERY NAME HAD A MEANING.
00:12:30.11\00:12:32.25
YOU READ THE STORY
ABOUT WHEN, YOU KNOW,
00:12:32.28\00:12:33.95
JACOB ENDED UP WITH FOUR
WIVES, HE ONLY WANTED RACHEL.
00:12:33.98\00:12:36.72
HE ENDED UP WITH RACHEL
AND LEAH AND BILHAH AND ZILPAH,
00:12:36.75\00:12:39.99
THEIR HANDMAIDS,
00:12:40.02\00:12:41.46
AND EVERY TIME
THEY'RE ALL FIGHTING
00:12:41.49\00:12:43.12
OVER HIS ATTENTION,
EVERY TIME THEY GOT PREGNANT,
00:12:43.16\00:12:44.86
THEY HAD A CHILD, THE
MOTHERS WOULD NAME THE CHILD
00:12:44.89\00:12:47.86
AND MAKE A
STATEMENT BECAUSE THE NAMES
00:12:47.93\00:12:50.00
ALL MEAN SOMETHING IN HEBREW.
00:12:50.03\00:12:52.27
THE NAME JUDAH MEANS
"I WILL PRAISE THE LORD."
00:12:52.30\00:12:54.34
AND WE'RE PUTTING THIS
UP FOR YOU ON THE SCREEN.
00:12:54.37\00:12:57.01
REUBEN MEANS "HE
HAS LOOKED ON ME,"
00:12:57.04\00:12:59.24
GAD "GIVEN GOOD FORTUNE,"
ASHER MEANS "HAPPY AM I,"
00:12:59.27\00:13:02.68
NAPHTALI MEANS "MY WRESTLING,"
00:13:02.71\00:13:04.75
MANASSEH MEANS
"MAKING ME TO FORGET."
00:13:04.78\00:13:07.42
IT SAYS, SIMEON
MEANS "GOD HEARS ME,"
00:13:07.45\00:13:10.12
LEVI "ATTACHED TO ME,"
ISSACHAR, "PURCHASED ME,"
00:13:10.15\00:13:14.76
"DWELLING" IS ZEBULUN,
00:13:14.79\00:13:16.36
JOSEPH, "GOD WILL ADD TO ME,"
00:13:16.39\00:13:18.06
BENJAMIN, "SON
OF HIS RIGHT HAND."
00:13:18.09\00:13:20.40
NOW WHAT'S FASCINATING IS,
IF YOU TAKE THESE TWELVE NAMES,
00:13:20.43\00:13:25.73
LINE THEIR MEANINGS UP
THE WAY THEY'RE GIVEN THERE
00:13:25.77\00:13:27.87
IN REVELATION,
THIS IS WHAT IT SAYS,
00:13:27.90\00:13:29.60
LOOK AT THIS PARAGRAPH,
00:13:29.64\00:13:31.24
"I WILL PRAISE THE
LORD FOR HE HAS LOOKED ON ME
00:13:31.27\00:13:34.74
AND GRANTED GOOD FORTUNE,
00:13:34.78\00:13:36.64
I AM HAPPY BECAUSE MY WRESTLING,
00:13:36.68\00:13:39.08
GOD IS MAKING ME TO FORGET.
00:13:39.11\00:13:41.35
GOD HEARS ME AND IS
ATTACHED OR JOINED TO ME."
00:13:41.38\00:13:44.29
IT'S LIKE A MARRIAGE,
00:13:44.32\00:13:45.62
"HE HAS PURCHASED ME A DWELLING"
00:13:45.65\00:13:47.06
I'VE GONE TO
PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU
00:13:47.09\00:13:48.96
"AND HE WILL ADD TO ME
THE SON OF HIS RIGHT HAND,"
00:13:48.99\00:13:52.13
MEANING CHRIST.
00:13:52.16\00:13:53.70
THE WHOLE STORY OF
SALVATION IS TOLD IN THE NAMES,
00:13:53.73\00:13:57.83
THE WAY THEY'RE
ARRANGED THERE IN REVELATION.
00:13:57.87\00:14:00.14
IT'S THE STORY OF REDEMPTION,
ISN'T THAT BEAUTIFUL?
00:14:00.17\00:14:03.04
THAT'S WHY THE BIBLE IS
SUCH AN INCREDIBLE BOOK.
00:14:03.07\00:14:04.97
IT TELLS US THE
144,000 HAVE SPECIAL ROBES.
00:14:05.91\00:14:09.58
THE BIBLE TELLS US
THEY HAVE WASHED THEIR ROBES
00:14:09.61\00:14:11.75
AND MADE THEM WHITE
IN THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB,
00:14:11.78\00:14:13.95
SYMBOLIZING THEY ARE COVERED
00:14:13.98\00:14:16.28
WITH THE
RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST.
00:14:16.32\00:14:18.82
IT TELLS US THEY
SING A UNIQUE SONG.
00:14:18.85\00:14:20.82
THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT
YOU CAN'T READ OFF THEIR MUSIC
00:14:20.86\00:14:23.39
BECAUSE IT'S THEIR
SONG, IT MEANS THEY'VE GONE
00:14:23.43\00:14:25.93
THROUGH AN EXPERIENCE.
00:14:25.96\00:14:27.83
IT'S LIKE WHEN THE CHILDREN
OF ISRAEL WENT THROUGH EGYPT,
00:14:27.86\00:14:30.93
THEY SANG THIS SONG OF
DELIVERANCE LED BY MIRIAM.
00:14:30.97\00:14:34.67
AND, AT THE END
OF THEIR 40 YEARS,
00:14:34.70\00:14:36.40
MOSES WROTE A SONG
THAT TALKED ABOUT THOSE
00:14:36.44\00:14:38.84
WHO HAD
SURVIVED THEIR WANDERINGS
00:14:38.87\00:14:40.74
AND HOW GOD WOULD BE FIRST.
00:14:40.78\00:14:42.08
SOMETIMES A SONG, YOU
HAVE TO HAVE THE EXPERIENCE
00:14:42.11\00:14:45.01
TO KNOW HOW TO SING THE SONG.
00:14:45.05\00:14:47.45
IT'S LIKE SOMETIMES
YOU'LL HEAR A CHOIR,
00:14:47.48\00:14:50.55
YOU MIGHT HEAR
A CHOIR IN IRELAND
00:14:50.59\00:14:52.55
SINGING A NEGRO SPIRITUAL.
00:14:52.59\00:14:55.19
THEY MAY NOT KNOW
HOW TO SING IT THE WAY
00:14:55.22\00:14:58.23
IT WAS WRITTEN
BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT HAD
00:14:58.26\00:15:00.96
THE EXPERIENCE THAT
GAVE BIRTH TO THE SONG.
00:15:00.96\00:15:05.17
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?
00:15:05.20\00:15:06.50
AND SO THOSE
WHO ARE THE 144,000,
00:15:06.53\00:15:08.97
THEY'RE SINGING A SONG
NOBODY ELSE CAN SING. WHY?
00:15:09.00\00:15:12.07
BECAUSE IT SAYS
THERE IN REVELATION,
00:15:12.11\00:15:13.81
THESE ARE THOSE WHO--
00:15:13.84\00:15:15.14
THEY'VE COME OUT OF
A GREAT TRIBULATION.
00:15:15.18\00:15:17.71
THEY FOLLOWED THE
LAMB IN A CLOSE WAY,
00:15:17.75\00:15:19.78
UNLIKE ANYONE ELSE.
00:15:19.81\00:15:21.55
IT SAYS THEY SANG,
AS IT WERE, A NEW SONG.
00:15:21.58\00:15:24.19
SOMETHING ELSE IT TELLS US,
00:15:24.22\00:15:25.52
THEY FOLLOW THE
LAMB WHEREVER HE GOES.
00:15:25.55\00:15:29.26
BY THE WAY, IF YOU WANT
TO FOLLOW THE LAMB THERE,
00:15:29.29\00:15:32.73
THEN, YOU MUST FIRST
FOLLOW THE LAMB HERE NOW.
00:15:32.76\00:15:38.30
AND YOU CAN'T SAY, "WELL,
I CAN'T WAIT TO GET TO HEAVEN
00:15:38.33\00:15:40.64
AND START FOLLOWING THE LAMB."
00:15:40.67\00:15:42.07
YOU WON'T BE IN HEAVEN UNLESS
YOU START FOLLOWING HIM NOW.
00:15:42.10\00:15:46.21
A CHRISTIAN IS A
FOLLOWER OF CHRIST.
00:15:46.24\00:15:48.94
AND IT SAYS THEY ARE VIRGINS,
00:15:48.98\00:15:50.58
AND THIS HAS
ALWAYS THROWN PEOPLE.
00:15:50.61\00:15:52.08
DOES THAT MEAN ALL
THE 144,000 ARE WOMEN?
00:15:52.11\00:15:55.15
BECAUSE THE
TERM THERE, IN GREEK,
00:15:55.18\00:15:56.48
IT DOES SEEM TO
IMPLY THE FEMININE SIDE.
00:15:56.52\00:15:59.42
KEEP IN MIND, IN REVELATION,
IT TALKS ABOUT BABYLON
00:15:59.45\00:16:02.52
HAS DAUGHTERS THAT
ARE HARLOTS, UNFAITHFUL.
00:16:02.56\00:16:07.13
THE 144,000, IT'S
SAYING THEY ARE VIRGINS
00:16:07.13\00:16:09.70
FOR THEY ARE NOT DEFILED.
00:16:09.73\00:16:11.63
IT'S TALKING ABOUT THEY
ARE A PART OF THE TRUTH,
00:16:11.67\00:16:14.20
THEY'VE NOT BEEN
DEFILED BY THE WINE OF BABYLON.
00:16:14.24\00:16:17.91
IT'S SIMPLY SAYING,
THEY'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT
00:16:17.94\00:16:19.51
SEX AT ALL, IT'S TALKING
ABOUT THEY ARE A PURE GROUP
00:16:19.54\00:16:22.51
BECAUSE THEY BELIEVED
THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS.
00:16:22.54\00:16:24.48
THEY ARE UNDEFILED
BY THE FALSE TEACHINGS.
00:16:24.51\00:16:26.95
EVERYTHING THAT
WE'VE BEEN TELLING YOU
00:16:26.98\00:16:28.62
ABOUT THE 144,000,
YOU KNOW WHAT THE KEY IS
00:16:28.65\00:16:30.69
TO UNDERSTANDING IT?
00:16:30.72\00:16:32.69
THEY REPRESENT
MODERN-DAY APOSTLES.
00:16:32.72\00:16:36.42
SEE, IN THE OLD
TESTAMENT, I'M SORRY,
00:16:36.46\00:16:37.83
IN THE NEW
TESTAMENT, RATHER, JESUS PICKED
00:16:37.86\00:16:39.96
TWELVE APOSTLES AND HE SAID,
00:16:40.00\00:16:42.26
"I WANT YOU TO BE MY ADVOCATES
00:16:42.30\00:16:44.90
TO TAKE THIS
MESSAGE TO THE WORLD."
00:16:44.93\00:16:46.77
BUT THEY WERE NOT
THE ONLY ONES SAVED,
00:16:46.80\00:16:48.50
THEY WERE A
SPECIAL GROUP OF LEADERS.
00:16:48.54\00:16:50.87
BEFORE THE HOLY
SPIRIT IS POURED OUT
00:16:50.91\00:16:52.51
IN ACTS CHAPTER 2,
JUDAS HAS KILLED HIMSELF,
00:16:52.54\00:16:56.31
PETER SAID,
"THERE'S ONLY 11 OF US NOW,
00:16:56.34\00:16:58.51
WE NEED TO REPLACE JUDAS
AND GET BACK TO THE NUMBER 12."
00:16:58.55\00:17:01.38
WHEN THEY REPLACED JUDAS,
00:17:01.42\00:17:02.72
THE HOLY SPIRIT FALLS
OUT IN THE NEXT VERSE.
00:17:02.75\00:17:05.35
BUT THERE'S NOT JUST 12
THAT RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT,
00:17:05.39\00:17:08.16
THERE'S A 120 IN THE UPPER ROOM,
00:17:08.19\00:17:10.66
AND THEN 3,000 ARE CONVERTED
AS A RESULT OF WHAT THEY DO
00:17:10.69\00:17:14.93
WHICH LEADS TO
THE NEXT QUESTION,
00:17:14.96\00:17:17.13
ARE THE 144,000 THE ONLY
ONES SAVED WHEN JESUS COMES?
00:17:17.17\00:17:21.60
WELL, IF YOU DO THE
MATH, THAT WOULD BE PRETTY SAD
00:17:21.64\00:17:23.54
BECAUSE THERE ARE
ABOUT 7 BILLION PEOPLE
00:17:23.57\00:17:26.81
IN THE WORLD TODAY,
THERE'S MORE THAN 7 BILLION.
00:17:26.84\00:17:29.11
AND IF ONLY 144,000
ARE GOING TO BE SAVED,
00:17:29.14\00:17:33.75
THAT MEANS YOUR CHANCE
IS ABOUT 1 OUT OF 50,000.
00:17:33.78\00:17:38.99
IT'S STILL BETTER THAN
THE LOTTERY IN FLORIDA,
00:17:39.02\00:17:40.76
DID YOU KNOW THAT?
00:17:40.79\00:17:42.82
BUT IT'S NOT GOOD.
00:17:42.86\00:17:46.09
NO, THEY'RE NOT
THE ONLY ONES SAVED,
00:17:46.13\00:17:48.60
THEY ARE A
SPECIAL GROUP OF LEADERS.
00:17:48.63\00:17:50.43
IN THE SAME WAY, LET ME MAKE
THE 144,000 REALLY EASY FOR YOU
00:17:50.47\00:17:53.80
IN THE SAME WAY THAT
JESUS HAD 12 APOSTLES
00:17:53.84\00:17:56.54
THAT FOLLOWED
HIM WHEREVER HE WENT,
00:17:56.57\00:17:58.61
THAT HAD A SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP
WITH HIM THAT SANG...
00:17:58.64\00:18:01.61
YOU KNOW, THE
BIBLE SAYS THAT JESUS,
00:18:01.64\00:18:03.28
THE ONLY TIME HE
SANG, HE SANG WITH THE 12,
00:18:03.31\00:18:06.25
HE SANG OTHER TIMES,
BUT THE ONLY TIME RECORDED,
00:18:06.28\00:18:08.45
IN THE BIBLE, WHEN JESUS SANG,
HE SANG WITH THE 12 APOSTLES
00:18:08.48\00:18:11.65
JUST BEFORE HE
WENT TO THE CROSS.
00:18:11.69\00:18:13.69
THEY SANG WITH THE
LORD A SPECIAL SONG.
00:18:13.72\00:18:16.32
AND SO, ALL THE THINGS
ABOUT THE 144,000, BY THE WAY,
00:18:16.36\00:18:20.26
THIS WAS WRITTEN BY
AN APOSTLE, ISN'T IT?
00:18:20.30\00:18:23.00
HE'S TALKING ABOUT
THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS
00:18:23.03\00:18:25.60
DURING THE FIRST COMING.
00:18:25.63\00:18:27.10
THERE'S GOING TO
BE AN ARMY OF APOSTLES
00:18:27.14\00:18:29.44
GETTING THE WORLD
READY FOR THE SECOND COMING.
00:18:29.47\00:18:32.44
AMEN. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?
00:18:32.47\00:18:34.04
THAT'S THE 144,000.
00:18:34.08\00:18:35.98
BUT NOW WE'VE LEARNED
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THEM,
00:18:36.01\00:18:38.65
WHAT'S THE SPECIAL
NAME IN THEIR FOREHEADS?
00:18:38.68\00:18:41.48
IT TALKS ABOUT A NAME, A SEAL.
00:18:41.52\00:18:44.32
KEEP IN MIND, IT'S NOT
TALKING ABOUT A TATTOO.
00:18:44.35\00:18:48.12
YOU'RE GOING TO FIND
OUT ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE
00:18:48.16\00:18:50.29
IN THE OLD
TESTAMENT, IT TALKS ABOUT
00:18:50.33\00:18:51.69
IN THE HAND AND IN THE FOREHEAD,
00:18:51.73\00:18:53.80
THAT MEANS IN YOUR
ACTIONS AND IN YOUR THOUGHTS.
00:18:53.83\00:18:57.33
IN DEUTERONOMY 5, MOSES
REPEATS THE TEN COMMANDMENTS,
00:18:57.37\00:19:00.30
IN DEUTERONOMY 6, HE SAYS,
"YOU'LL BIND THEM AS A SIGN
00:19:00.34\00:19:02.64
ON YOUR HAND, AND
THEY'LL BE AS FRONTLETS
00:19:02.67\00:19:04.71
BETWEEN YOUR EYES," WHAT'S THAT?
00:19:04.74\00:19:06.91
FOREHEAD, THAT THE LORD'S
LAW MIGHT BE IN YOUR HEART,
00:19:06.94\00:19:10.88
ANOTHER SYMBOL.
00:19:10.91\00:19:12.21
IN THE HAND
MEANS IN THE ACTIONS,
00:19:12.25\00:19:14.05
IN THE FOREHEAD
MEANS IN THE WORSHIP,
00:19:14.08\00:19:15.95
IN THE THOUGHTS.
00:19:15.98\00:19:17.52
I'LL MAKE
SOMETHING REALLY CLEAR.
00:19:17.55\00:19:20.59
IN THE LAST DAYS, IF
YOU'VE GOT THE LAW OF THE LORD
00:19:20.62\00:19:22.99
IN YOUR HEART AND
YOUR ACTIONS AND YOUR MIND,
00:19:23.02\00:19:25.69
YOU WILL NOT HAVE
THE MARK OF THE BEAST.
00:19:25.73\00:19:28.16
IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE LAW OF GOD
00:19:28.20\00:19:30.47
IN YOUR HEART AND
YOUR HAND AND YOUR HEAD,
00:19:30.50\00:19:32.27
YOU WILL HAVE THE
MARK OF THE BEAST.
00:19:32.30\00:19:33.97
IT'S JUST ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.
00:19:34.00\00:19:37.47
NOW, YOU NOTICE IN
EZEKIEL 9, WE ALWAYS THINK
00:19:37.51\00:19:39.81
THE MARK IS THE BAD
THING, IF YOU READ EZEKIEL 9,
00:19:39.84\00:19:42.04
THERE'S ANOTHER VISION THERE.
00:19:42.08\00:19:43.55
BY THE WAY, REVELATION IS
REFERRING BACK TO EZEKIEL,
00:19:43.58\00:19:47.62
THAT EVERYBODY IN
JERUSALEM WAS TO BE DESTROYED
00:19:47.65\00:19:50.49
EXCEPT THOSE THAT HAD THIS MARK
PLACED ON THEM BY THE ANGEL.
00:19:50.52\00:19:53.92
EVERYBODY IN EZEKIEL 9
WHO GETS THE MARK IS SAVED
00:19:53.96\00:19:58.06
BECAUSE THEY ARE
SIGHING AND CRYING
00:19:58.09\00:19:59.93
FOR THE ABOMINATIONS
THAT ARE DONE IN ISRAEL
00:19:59.96\00:20:02.00
BECAUSE THERE WAS FALSE
WORSHIP THAT WAS HAPPENING
00:20:02.03\00:20:05.00
AMONG THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL.
00:20:05.03\00:20:07.40
AND YOU READ THAT CHAPTER
AND YOU'LL UNDERSTAND THAT.
00:20:07.44\00:20:11.04
SO WHAT IS THE SEAL OF GOD?
00:20:11.07\00:20:13.51
ALL RIGHT, WE
TALKED ABOUT THE 144,000,
00:20:13.54\00:20:15.48
WE'RE GOING TO SPEND THE REST
OF OUR TIME TALKING ABOUT THIS
00:20:15.51\00:20:18.01
VERY IMPORTANT
SUBJECT, AND YOU PRAY FOR ME
00:20:18.05\00:20:19.98
AS I PROCEED
BECAUSE I REALLY WANT YOU
00:20:20.02\00:20:21.92
TO GET THIS,
FRIENDS, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT.
00:20:21.95\00:20:24.85
ALL RIGHT, FIRST OF ALL,
SEAL OF GOD IS THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:20:24.89\00:20:29.96
YOU ALREADY SORT OF KNEW THAT.
00:20:29.99\00:20:31.83
THOSE THAT HAVE
THE MARK OF THE BEAST,
00:20:31.86\00:20:33.36
WHOSE SPIRIT DO THEY HAVE?
00:20:33.40\00:20:35.26
SATAN. THE DEVIL.
00:20:35.30\00:20:36.77
THOSE THAT HAVE SEAL OF
GOD, WHOSE SPIRIT DO THEY HAVE?
00:20:36.80\00:20:40.40
IT SAYS THERE IN EPHESIANS 4:30,
00:20:40.44\00:20:42.20
"DO NOT GRIEVE THE
HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD,
00:20:42.24\00:20:44.24
WHERE WITH YOU ARE SEALED
FOR THE DAY OF REDEMPTION."
00:20:44.27\00:20:48.51
THERE'S A SEAL
OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
00:20:48.54\00:20:49.98
THAT HAPPENS INSIDE.
00:20:50.01\00:20:51.58
BUT THERE'S SOMETHING
THAT IS MORE TANGIBLE THAN THAT
00:20:51.61\00:20:54.72
THAT CAN BE SEEN IN THE LIFE,
00:20:54.75\00:20:56.28
AND YOU'LL FIND
THAT IN THIS VERSE,
00:20:56.32\00:20:57.69
ISAIAH 8:16,
"BIND UP THE TESTIMONY,
00:20:57.72\00:21:02.36
SEAL THE LAW
AMONG MY DISCIPLES."
00:21:02.39\00:21:06.49
CAN THE LAW BE
SEALED IN THE HEART?
00:21:06.53\00:21:09.93
SO THE LAW OF GOD,
IN A SENSE, IS THE SEAL.
00:21:09.96\00:21:11.93
WHAT'S THE NEW COVENANT?
00:21:11.97\00:21:13.27
"I'LL TAKE MY LAW AND
WRITE IT IN THEIR HEARTS."
00:21:13.30\00:21:17.04
BUT WE'RE GOING
TO GO A STEP DEEPER
00:21:17.07\00:21:18.84
TO FIND OUT WHAT IS
THAT SEAL IN THE LAW.
00:21:18.87\00:21:22.78
I COULD... NOW,
TYPICALLY, A SEAL,
00:21:22.81\00:21:24.91
IN BIBLE TIMES, YOU KNOW,
00:21:24.95\00:21:26.25
WHEN YOU WOULD MAKE
A DOCUMENT OFFICIAL,
00:21:26.28\00:21:27.92
THEY'D POUR WAX ON
THE SEAL LIKE YOU DO
00:21:27.95\00:21:30.25
WITH AN
ENVELOPE, THEY'D STAMP IT
00:21:30.29\00:21:31.72
WITH THE GOVERNMENT SEAL
AND THE SEAL ALWAYS CONTAINED
00:21:31.75\00:21:34.36
THREE CHARACTERISTICS.
00:21:34.39\00:21:36.06
IT WOULD HAVE THE NAME
OF THE OFFICIAL, THE TITLE,
00:21:36.09\00:21:41.33
AND THE TERRITORY.
00:21:41.36\00:21:43.53
FOR EXAMPLE, I'VE GOT A
COPY HERE OF QUEEN ELIZABETH
00:21:43.57\00:21:47.80
AND IN CANADA, IT SAYS,
"QUEEN OF CANADA, ELIZABETH"
00:21:47.84\00:21:52.94
AND THAT'S THE NAME,
00:21:52.97\00:21:54.28
QUEEN, THE
OFFICE; ELIZABETH, CANADA.
00:21:54.31\00:21:58.05
AND SO YOU WOULD HAVE
THREE CHARACTERISTICS.
00:21:58.08\00:22:00.45
WHEN PONTIUS PILATE PUT A
SEAL ON THE TOMB OF JESUS,
00:22:00.48\00:22:03.35
WHAT DID IT SAY?
00:22:03.39\00:22:04.69
PONTIUS PILATE,
HIS NAME, GOVERNOR,
00:22:04.72\00:22:07.12
HIS OFFICE,
JUDEA, HIS TERRITORY.
00:22:07.16\00:22:11.06
WHEN KING DARIUS PUT
A SEAL, THE BIBLE SAYS
00:22:11.09\00:22:13.60
HE PUT A SEAL ON THE
STONE PLACED ON THE LION'S DEN,
00:22:13.63\00:22:17.23
WHAT DID IT SAY?
00:22:17.27\00:22:18.57
"DARIUS, KING, MEDO-PERSIA,"
YOU'VE GOT THOSE THREE THINGS
00:22:18.60\00:22:21.64
WERE ALWAYS IN A SEAL.
00:22:21.67\00:22:23.64
YOU EVER SEE THE
PRESIDENTIAL SEAL?
00:22:23.67\00:22:26.21
IT'S GOING TO SAY
THE PRESIDENT'S NAME,
00:22:26.24\00:22:28.14
PRESIDENT, UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA.
00:22:28.18\00:22:31.25
AND SO YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
THOSE THREE CHARACTERISTICS.
00:22:31.28\00:22:33.42
DO YOU FIND THE SEAL
OF GOD IN THE LAW OF GOD?
00:22:33.45\00:22:36.22
YOU DO.
00:22:36.25\00:22:37.72
IT'S IN THE MIDDLE OF GOD'S LAW,
00:22:37.75\00:22:39.89
IN THE LONGEST OF
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS,
00:22:39.92\00:22:42.69
AND HERE'S WHAT IT READS
00:22:42.72\00:22:44.03
AND YOU READ IN
EXODUS CHAPTER 20, VERSE 8,
00:22:44.06\00:22:46.90
"REMEMBER THE
SABBATH DAY, TO KEEP IT HOLY.
00:22:46.93\00:22:49.73
SIX DAYS YOU SHALL
LABOR AND DO ALL YOUR WORK,
00:22:49.76\00:22:53.67
BUT THE SEVENTH
DAY IS THE SABBATH
00:22:53.70\00:22:56.14
OF THE LORD YOUR GOD.
00:22:56.17\00:22:57.47
IN IT YOU SHALL NOT DO
ANY WORK, YOU OR YOUR SON,
00:22:57.51\00:23:00.88
OR YOUR DAUGHTER,
YOUR MALE SERVANT,
00:23:00.91\00:23:02.54
OR YOUR FEMALE SERVANT.
00:23:02.58\00:23:04.08
NOR YOUR
CATTLE, OR YOUR STRANGER
00:23:04.11\00:23:05.71
WHO IS WITHIN YOUR GATES."
00:23:05.75\00:23:07.08
NOW HERE, WATCH CAREFULLY,
"FOR IN SIX DAYS THE LORD"
00:23:07.12\00:23:11.49
JEHOVAH, HIS
NAME, CREATED "MADE",
00:23:11.52\00:23:15.66
HIS OFFICE HE'S THE
CREATOR AND SUSTAINER
00:23:15.69\00:23:17.69
"THE HEAVENS AND THE
EARTH, AND THE SEA..."
00:23:17.73\00:23:20.96
THERE YOU HAVE THE NAME
OF GOD, THE TITLE OF GOD,
00:23:20.96\00:23:24.20
THE TERRITORY OF GOD,
00:23:24.23\00:23:25.87
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
LAW OF GOD IS THIS SEAL.
00:23:25.90\00:23:29.94
AND WHAT WE'RE GOING
TO BE TALKING ABOUT NOW
00:23:29.97\00:23:32.27
IS THE SABBATH
COMMANDMENT AND WHY IT IS
00:23:32.31\00:23:35.34
AN IMPORTANT
ISSUE IN THE LAST DAYS
00:23:35.38\00:23:37.61
BECAUSE IT TALKS
ABOUT RESTING IN THE LORD.
00:23:37.65\00:23:41.68
IT TALKS ABOUT
HAVING A RELATIONSHIP.
00:23:41.72\00:23:43.52
IT TALKS ABOUT
HAVING THE FATHER'S NAME.
00:23:43.55\00:23:45.49
IS THE FATHER'S
NAME IN THAT COMMANDMENT?
00:23:45.52\00:23:47.86
JEHOVAH, "THE LORD
MADE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH,
00:23:47.89\00:23:50.43
THE SEA AND ALL THIS IS IN THEM,
00:23:50.46\00:23:51.89
AND RESTED THE SEVENTH DAY.
00:23:51.93\00:23:53.46
THEREFORE THE LORD
BLESSED THE SABBATH DAY
00:23:53.50\00:23:55.93
AND HE HALLOWED IT."
00:23:55.96\00:23:57.27
THAT MEANS HE MADE IT HOLY.
00:23:57.30\00:23:59.33
SO HERE YOU'VE GOT
THOSE THREE CHARACTERISTICS,
00:23:59.37\00:24:01.74
YOU'VE GOT HIS TITLE,
YOU'VE GOT HIS TERRITORY,
00:24:01.77\00:24:05.01
YOU'VE GOT HIS NAME, ALL
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LAW.
00:24:05.04\00:24:07.94
NOW I WANT YOU TO JUST
SEE, FROM THE PERSPECTIVE
00:24:07.98\00:24:11.75
OF THE BIBLE AND HEAVEN,
WHY THIS WOULD BE SO IMPORTANT.
00:24:11.78\00:24:16.48
IS THERE A PLACE
IN THE WORLD TODAY
00:24:16.52\00:24:17.95
IF I WAS GOING TO SAY,
"I'M GOING TO THE HOLY LAND.
00:24:17.99\00:24:19.85
I'M GOING ON A HOLY
LAND TOUR," WHERE AM I GOING?
00:24:19.89\00:24:22.29
ISRAEL. ISRAEL.
00:24:22.32\00:24:24.46
NOT TOO MANY
PEOPLE DISPUTE THAT.
00:24:24.49\00:24:26.19
AND, IF I'M IN
ISRAEL, I'M GOING TO SAY,
00:24:26.23\00:24:27.50
"I'M GOING TO THE HOLY
CITY," WHERE AM I GOING?
00:24:27.56\00:24:29.43
JERUSALEM. JERUSALEM.
00:24:29.46\00:24:31.77
AND THEN, IF I
SAY, I'M IN JERUSALEM,
00:24:31.80\00:24:33.37
I'M GOING TO GO VISIT
THE HOLY MOUNT, MOUNT MORIAH,
00:24:33.40\00:24:37.27
SOMETIMES CALLED MOUNT
ZION, IT'S WHERE THE TEMPLE WAS.
00:24:37.31\00:24:40.61
AND, IN ANCIENT TIMES,
IF YOU WENT TO THE TEMPLE,
00:24:40.64\00:24:42.74
YOU'D GO TO THE HOLY TEMPLE.
00:24:42.78\00:24:45.01
AND, IN THE HOLY
TEMPLE, THEY HAD A PLACE CALLED
00:24:45.05\00:24:46.58
THE HOLY PLACE,
BUT THE HOLY PLACE
00:24:46.61\00:24:50.09
HAD AN INNER SANCTUM
CALLED THE HOLY OF HOLIES,
00:24:50.12\00:24:54.02
AND THERE WAS ONLY ONE
THING IN THE HOLY OF HOLIES.
00:24:54.06\00:24:57.09
WHAT WAS IT?
00:24:57.13\00:24:58.69
AN ARK, GOLDEN BOX,
WE'VE ALL HEARD ABOUT
00:24:58.73\00:25:01.06
THIS SACRED GOLDEN BOX
THAT'S STILL MISSING TODAY.
00:25:01.10\00:25:04.03
WHAT MADE THE GOLDEN BOX
SUCH A NATIONAL TREASURE?
00:25:04.07\00:25:08.34
WHAT DID IT HAVE IN
THERE? TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:25:08.37\00:25:11.27
AND, IN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS,
DO YOU FIND THE WORD HOLY?
00:25:11.31\00:25:14.98
YES. HOW MANY TIMES?
00:25:15.01\00:25:17.55
ONE TIME. WHERE IS IT?
00:25:17.58\00:25:19.21
IT'S IN THE SABBATH COMMANDMENT.
00:25:19.25\00:25:22.18
BECAUSE GOD
WANTS TO MAKE US HOLY.
00:25:22.22\00:25:26.22
AND LIFE IS COMPOSED OF TIME.
00:25:26.25\00:25:29.82
GOD IS LOVE. YOU WITH ME?
00:25:29.86\00:25:32.63
YOU CANNOT LOVE WITHOUT TIME.
00:25:32.66\00:25:35.66
WIVES USUALLY GET
THAT BETTER THAN HUSBANDS.
00:25:35.70\00:25:40.10
THEY SAY, "OH YOU
NEVER DO ANYTHING WITH ME."
00:25:40.14\00:25:41.44
"I'VE BEEN HOME ALL DAY."
00:25:41.47\00:25:42.80
"BUT, YEAH, YOU'VE
BEEN ON YOUR COMPUTER."
00:25:42.84\00:25:45.04
NOW THIS CONVERSATION
NEVER HAPPENED IN OUR HOME.
00:25:45.07\00:25:48.34
BUT I SAID, "I WAS HERE."
"THAT'S NOT QUALITY TIME."
00:25:48.38\00:25:53.05
SO WE LIVE ALL WEEK LONG,
BUT DO WE HAVE QUALITY TIME?
00:25:53.08\00:25:55.88
BECAUSE LOVE IS
NOURISHED IN QUALITY TIME.
00:25:55.92\00:26:01.06
GOD, WHEN HE CREATED THE
WORLD, HE CREATED AND SANCTIFIED
00:26:01.09\00:26:03.99
A QUALITY TIME TO NURTURE
OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.
00:26:04.03\00:26:08.03
AND, IF YOU LOVE GOD,
00:26:08.06\00:26:09.36
IF YOU KNOW GOD YOU'LL LOVE HIM,
