¤¤¤
00:00:07.54\00:00:14.31
>>JESUS EXPECTED HIS PEOPLE
WOULD STILL KNOW ABOUT THE
00:00:14.34\00:00:17.41
SABBATH IN THE LAST DAYS.
THE CHURCH HAS LARGELY FORGOTTEN
00:00:17.45\00:00:21.22
THE ONE COMMANDMENT
THAT HE SAID 'REMEMBER'.
00:00:21.25\00:00:24.99
¤¤¤
00:00:25.02\00:00:27.99
>>WE'RE SO GLAD TO SEE
EACH OF YOU HERE TONIGHT.
00:00:28.02\00:00:31.59
WE WANT TO WELCOME YOU TO
THE LANDMARKS OF PROPHECY BIBLE
00:00:31.63\00:00:33.60
STUDY SERIES. I
ALWAYS WANT TO WELCOME THOSE
00:00:33.63\00:00:36.40
WHO WE REMEMBER ARE WATCHING
ONLINE OR YOU'RE WATCHING VIA
00:00:36.43\00:00:39.70
SATELLITE TELEVISION AND WE'RE
JUST GLAD THAT YOU COULD BE PART
00:00:39.73\00:00:42.84
OF THIS EPIC
BIBLE STUDY ADVENTURE.
00:00:42.87\00:00:46.84
NOW TONIGHT WE HAVE A VERY
IMPORTANT LESSON THAT IS DEALING
00:00:46.88\00:00:50.35
WITH A SUBJECT THAT IS OF GREAT
INTEREST AMONG CHRISTIANS THESE
00:00:50.38\00:00:53.65
DAYS AND IT DOES HAVE A VERY
IMPORTANT BEARING ON THE ISSUES
00:00:53.68\00:00:58.52
OF PROPHECY. THE
TITLE OF THE LESSON IS
00:00:58.55\00:01:01.26
CALLED THE REST OF OUR
WORK - THE REST OF OUR WORK.
00:01:01.29\00:01:06.09
NOW WE'RE GOING TO BEGIN WITH A
STORY IN YOUR BIBLE THAT'S DRAWN
00:01:06.13\00:01:09.33
FROM THE BOOK OF EXODUS.
IN EXODUS, WE KNOW THAT THE
00:01:09.36\00:01:14.54
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL MIRACULOUSLY
CROSSED OVER THE RED SEA AND
00:01:14.57\00:01:17.24
NOW, AS THEY'RE GOING THROUGH
THE WILDERNESS, THEY HAD A FEW
00:01:17.27\00:01:21.64
TRYING DAYS BETWEEN THE
RED SEA AND MOUNT SINAI.
00:01:21.68\00:01:26.15
THEIR PROVISIONS RAN LOW
AND THEY STARTED TO COMPLAIN.
00:01:26.18\00:01:29.95
GOD SAID, 'LOOK, I'M
GOING TO WORK A MIRACLE FOR YOU.
00:01:29.98\00:01:32.49
HERE'S WHAT I'M GOING TO
DO. I'M GOING TO RAIN DOWN BREAD
00:01:32.52\00:01:35.06
FROM HEAVEN FOR YOU.' -
WHAT DO THEY CALL THAT BREAD?
00:01:35.09\00:01:38.03
>>MANNA. >>MANNA.
00:01:38.06\00:01:39.59
'AND I'M GOING TO DO IT SIX
DAYS A WEEK. GO OUT EARLY IN THE
00:01:39.63\00:01:43.20
MORNING. YOU GATHER IT UP
AND THERE WILL NOT BE ANY ON
00:01:43.23\00:01:47.60
THE SEVENTH
DAY.' WHY? >>SABBATH.
00:01:47.64\00:01:52.44
>>IT WAS THE SABBATH - EVER
SINCE THE GARDEN OF EDEN - AND
00:01:52.47\00:01:55.11
HE SAID, 'GATHER TWICE AS MUCH
ON FRIDAY SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO
00:01:55.14\00:01:58.65
GATHER IT.' AND THEN YOU
CAN READ THERE, THEN MOSES SAID,
00:01:58.68\00:02:01.32
'EAT THAT TODAY FOR TODAY IS
A SABBATH TO THE LORD.' - TODAY
00:02:01.35\00:02:04.52
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO FIND IT IN
THE FIELD.' INTERESTING MIRACLE
00:02:04.55\00:02:07.09
FOR FORTY YEARS. FORTY
YEARS THERE WAS MANNA THAT
00:02:07.12\00:02:10.16
RAINED DOWN SIX DAYS A
WEEK, BUT NONE ON THE SEVENTH.
00:02:10.19\00:02:14.13
NOW SOME PEOPLE SAY THE SABBATH
COMMAND APPEARED AT MOUNT SINAI
00:02:14.20\00:02:19.67
AND IT WAS GIVEN TO THE JEWS
ONLY. YOU NOTICE IT'S EXODUS 16,
00:02:19.70\00:02:23.34
WHERE GOD TELLS THEM ABOUT THE
MANNA COMING SIX DAYS A WEEK?
00:02:23.37\00:02:26.37
THEY HAVEN'T
GOTTEN TO MOUNT SINAI YET.
00:02:26.41\00:02:28.78
THE SABBATH GOES ALL THE
WAY BACK TO THE BEGINNING.
00:02:28.81\00:02:32.45
NOW, PLEASE HEAR
ME VERY CAREFULLY.
00:02:32.48\00:02:35.25
WE'RE GOING TO STUDY THE SUBJECT
OF THE SABBATH TONIGHT AND I'M
00:02:35.28\00:02:39.29
GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW IT IS
AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN PROPHECY.
00:02:39.32\00:02:41.99
FIRST REMEMBER, IN THE
LAST DAYS, THE MARK OF THE BEAST
00:02:42.02\00:02:46.16
COMPELS EVERYBODY TO RECEIVE
A MARK IN THE RIGHT HAND OR THE
00:02:46.19\00:02:49.96
FOREHEAD AND
WHOEVER DOESN'T DO WHAT?
00:02:50.00\00:02:52.13
WORSHIP THE IMAGE OF THE
BEAST SHOULD BE KILLED.' WHOEVER
00:02:52.17\00:02:56.27
DOESN'T WORSHIP. IS
WORSHIP GOING TO BE AN ISSUE
00:02:56.30\00:02:59.34
IN THE LAST DAYS? >>YES.
00:02:59.37\00:03:02.08
>>IN THE VERY FIRST CONFLICT
BETWEEN CAIN AND ABEL, CAIN
00:03:02.11\00:03:07.15
CLAIMED TO WORSHIP GOD,
ABEL CLAIMED TO WORSHIP GOD.
00:03:07.18\00:03:10.49
THEY BOTH BUILT ALTARS.
ONE WORSHIPED GOD THE WAY GOD
00:03:10.52\00:03:12.99
SAID - THAT'S ABEL - CAIN SAID,
'I'M GOING TO DO IT MY OWN WAY.'
00:03:13.02\00:03:16.12
GOD SAID, 'I'M NOT ACCEPTING
YOUR SACRIFICE, BUT I'M
00:03:16.16\00:03:20.06
ACCEPTING THE SACRIFICE
OF ABEL.' CAIN GOT MAD.
00:03:20.10\00:03:23.37
HE PERSECUTED AND KILLED
HIS BROTHER AND IT WAS ALL OVER
00:03:23.40\00:03:27.30
WORSHIP. FROM THE
BEGINNING TO THE END -
00:03:27.34\00:03:31.51
WHAT DID THE DEVIL WANT
FROM JESUS? 'YOU FALL DOWN AND
00:03:31.54\00:03:34.04
WORSHIP ME, I'LL GIVE IT ALL
TO YOU.' IF WE DON'T UNDERSTAND
00:03:34.08\00:03:37.88
THIS SUBJECT AND WE DON'T THINK
THAT'S CONNECTED WITH LAST-DAY
00:03:37.91\00:03:41.75
PROPHECY, FRIENDS,
YOU'RE KIDDING YOURSELF.
00:03:41.78\00:03:44.02
IT IS ALL VERY INTEGRATED - FROM
COVER TO COVER IN THE BIBLE.
00:03:44.05\00:03:47.32
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE THAT
I THINK WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND.
00:03:47.36\00:03:50.16
WELL, THAT'S MY INTRODUCTION AND
NOW WE'RE GOING TO GO INTO THE
00:03:50.19\00:03:53.43
LESSON AND I WANT TO BE GENTLE
AS I SHARE THESE THINGS WITH
00:03:53.46\00:03:56.93
YOU, BECAUSE WHAT I'M SHARING
WITH YOU, I REMEMBER THE FIRST
00:03:56.97\00:03:59.23
TIME I HEARD IT
AND IT REALLY SHOOK ME.
00:03:59.27\00:04:02.57
I THINK IT SHOOK ME BECAUSE
IT WAS SO COMPELLING, BUT I FELT
00:04:02.60\00:04:06.61
LIKE I SHOULD HAVE
KNOWN THESE THINGS.
00:04:06.64\00:04:08.51
ALRIGHT, LET'S GO TO
QUESTION #1 IN YOUR STUDY.
00:04:08.54\00:04:11.75
WHAT DAY OF THE WEEK IS THE
SABBATH - THE BIBLICAL SABBATH?
00:04:11.78\00:04:15.85
BEFORE I GIVE YOU THE ANSWER,
I WANT TO MAKE SOMETHING VERY
00:04:15.88\00:04:20.82
CLEAR. I
BELIEVE THERE ARE LOVING
00:04:20.86\00:04:24.99
SPIRIT-FILLED CHRISTIAN
PEOPLE IN ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT
00:04:25.03\00:04:28.90
DENOMINATIONS. IS THAT CLEAR?
00:04:28.93\00:04:30.63
I COULD START NAMING RELIGIOUS
LEADERS THAT YOU SEE ON TV -
00:04:30.67\00:04:34.07
I'VE MET MANY OF THEM THAT
ARE FRIENDS. I RESPECT THEM.
00:04:34.10\00:04:39.24
THEY RESPECT ME AND WE
RESPECTFULLY MAYBE DISAGREE ON
00:04:39.27\00:04:43.14
SOME THINGS, BUT I
DON'T QUESTION THAT.
00:04:43.18\00:04:45.71
I KNOW THERE ARE GOING TO
BE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN HEAVEN
00:04:45.75\00:04:48.42
THAT MAYBE WENT TO
CHURCH ON THE WRONG DAY.
00:04:48.45\00:04:50.49
BUT THE TRUTH
IS STILL THE TRUTH.
00:04:50.52\00:04:52.62
HERE'S WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS IN
GENESIS 2, VERSES 2 AND 3, "AND
00:04:52.65\00:04:56.46
ON THE SEVENTH DAY GOD ENDED HIS
WORK WHICH HE HAD DONE, AND HE
00:04:56.49\00:05:02.06
RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY FROM
ALL HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD DONE.
00:05:02.10\00:05:05.73
THEN GOD BLESSED THE SEVENTH
DAY..." - THIS IS GENESIS 2.
00:05:05.77\00:05:09.67
THIS IS ABOUT AS FAR BACK AS YOU
CAN GO IN THE BEGINNING OF YOUR
00:05:09.70\00:05:13.38
BIBLE. SO DOES GOD SAY THAT
HE MADE THE SABBATH FOR JEWS?
00:05:13.41\00:05:18.51
HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE IN
THE WORLD WHEN GOD DID THIS?
00:05:18.55\00:05:20.85
>>TWO. >>TWO.
WHAT WERE THEIR NAMES?
00:05:20.88\00:05:23.49
>>ADAM AND EVE. >>ADAM AND EVE.
00:05:23.52\00:05:25.49
YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE SAYS THAT
THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR MAN.
00:05:25.52\00:05:28.06
WHAT ELSE DID GOD MAKE FOR MAN
IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN? WOMAN.
00:05:28.09\00:05:33.66
IT SAYS, 'IT'S NOT GOOD THAT A
MAN SHOULD BE ALONE.' NOW HERE'S
00:05:33.70\00:05:37.00
A QUESTION: DO
WE STILL NEED WOMEN?
00:05:37.03\00:05:39.13
(LAUGHTER) DO WE ALSO
STILL NEED THAT DAY OF REST?
00:05:39.17\00:05:44.71
>>YES. >>THEY'RE
EQUALLY IMPORTANT.
00:05:44.74\00:05:47.71
ALRIGHT, NOW YOU NOTICE
SOMETHING ELSE HERE - IT DOESN'T
00:05:47.74\00:05:51.91
SAY 'AND ON A SEVENTH DAY' - IT
SAYS, 'ON THE SEVENTH DAY.' IS
00:05:51.95\00:05:58.19
THERE A DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN SAYING 'A' AND 'THE'?
00:05:58.22\00:06:01.46
IF I WERE TO JUST CALL OUT TO
THE AUDIENCE NOW AND SAY, 'COULD
00:06:01.49\00:06:04.36
YOU PLEASE BRING ME 'THE' PEN?'
YOU'D LOOK AT EACH OTHER AND
00:06:04.39\00:06:07.46
SAY, 'I WONDER WHO
HAS 'THE' PEN?' RIGHT?
00:06:07.50\00:06:10.60
'THE SPECIAL PEN.' BUT IF I SAY
'BRING ME 'A' PEN, HALF OF YOU
00:06:10.63\00:06:15.57
MIGHT JUMP OUT OF YOUR SEATS AND
GIVE ME A PEN BECAUSE IT DOESN'T
00:06:15.60\00:06:17.97
MATTER WHAT PEN, IT'S ANY PEN.
SO GOD DOESN'T SAY 'REMEMBER
00:06:18.01\00:06:20.14
'A' SEVENTH DAY' HE SAYS,
'REMEMBER 'THE' SEVENTH DAY.'
00:06:20.18\00:06:23.24
IT'S A DEFINITE
ARTICLE. IT'S VERY SPECIFIC.
00:06:23.28\00:06:25.11
HOW HAS GOD DEMONSTRATED THE
IMPORTANCE OF HIS HOLY SABBATH.
00:06:25.15\00:06:29.52
EXODUS CHAPTER 20,
VERSE 8 - MADE IT ONE
00:06:29.55\00:06:32.95
OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:06:32.99\00:06:34.29
IT SAYS, "REMEMBER," - WHY DO
00:06:34.32\00:06:37.19
YOU THINK GOD BEGINS
THAT COMMANDMENT WITH THE WORD
00:06:37.23\00:06:38.86
'REMEMBER'? HE
KNEW WE MIGHT FORGET.
00:06:38.89\00:06:40.76
"REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY TO
KEEP IT HOLY...THE LORD BLESSED
00:06:40.80\00:06:46.50
THE SABBATH DAY AND HALLOWED
IT" - THE BIBLE TELLS US.
00:06:46.53\00:06:49.80
NOW YOU NOTICE THAT GOD DIDN'T
SAY, 'I WANT YOU TO MAKE IT
00:06:49.84\00:06:54.64
HOLY' OR 'PICK A DAY AND MAKE IT
HOLY,' GOD SAYS, 'I HAVE PICKED
00:06:54.68\00:06:57.65
THE DAY AND I MADE IT HOLY AND I
SANCTIFIED IT AND I BLESSED IT.
00:06:57.68\00:07:01.55
I WANT YOU TO ENJOY THOSE
BLESSINGS THAT I PUT INTO THAT
00:07:01.58\00:07:04.92
DAY.' DOES HE SAY 'EVERYBODY
JUST KIND OF PICK YOUR DAY'?
00:07:04.95\00:07:08.32
OR DOES HE SAY THERE IS A DAY
WHERE WE WORSHIP CORPORATELY.
00:07:08.36\00:07:12.43
IT SAYS IN LEVITICUS 23, 'THE
SABBATH IS A HOLY CONVOCATION.'
00:07:12.46\00:07:16.60
YOU KNOW WHAT THE
WORD 'CONVOCATION' MEANS?
00:07:16.63\00:07:18.33
A CONVENING. THEY WERE TO
COME TOGETHER AND WORSHIP GOD.
00:07:18.37\00:07:21.50
HE HAD BLESSED A TIME FOR
THEM. SO THAT'S IMPORTANT.
00:07:21.54\00:07:24.94
NOW I KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF
PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT WILL SAY,
00:07:24.97\00:07:29.48
'PASTOR DOUG, YOU'RE FOCUSING ON
ONE LITTLE THING AND THIS IS NOT
00:07:29.51\00:07:32.78
A BIG ISSUE AND IT DOESN'T
MATTER.' OR, YOU KNOW, 'THE LAW
00:07:32.81\00:07:37.25
WAS NAILED TO THE CROSS' AND -
HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE HEARD SOME
00:07:37.29\00:07:41.39
OF THESE ARGUMENTS BEFORE?
WHEN I FIRST READ THESE THINGS I
00:07:41.42\00:07:45.09
SAID, 'HOW CAN THIS BE RIGHT?
HOW CAN EVERYBODY BE WRONG?
00:07:45.13\00:07:50.27
HOW COULD THE
MAJORITY BE WRONG ABOUT THIS?
00:07:50.30\00:07:52.80
AND THEN I REMEMBER IT WAS THE
MAJORITY, WHEN JESUS CAME THE
00:07:52.83\00:07:56.27
FIRST TIME, THAT
DID NOT ACCEPT HIM.
00:07:56.30\00:07:58.91
MOSES SAID, 'FOLLOW NOT A
MULTITUDE TO DO EVIL.' I SAID,
00:07:58.94\00:08:02.84
'WELL, I'M GOING TO GO ASK SOME
PASTORS.' I WAS A BABY CHRISTIAN
00:08:02.88\00:08:07.62
SO WHEN I FIRST LEARNED THESE
THINGS I WENT TO CHURCH SUNDAY
00:08:07.65\00:08:09.88
LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE, AND I
SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER BECAUSE
00:08:09.92\00:08:11.69
MY MOTHER'S JEWISH AND I
THOUGHT, 'WELL, THERE MUST - I
00:08:11.72\00:08:14.72
HAVEN'T READ THE WHOLE BIBLE,
IT'S A BIG BOOK - SOMEWHERE IN
00:08:14.76\00:08:16.86
THERE IT SAYS THAT GOD CHANGED
IT AND I JUST HAVEN'T FOUND IT
00:08:16.89\00:08:18.79
YET.' SO I WENT TO THE PASTORS
AND I SAID, 'WHY DO WE GO TO
00:08:18.83\00:08:24.23
CHURCH ON SUNDAY IF
SATURDAY IS THE SABBATH?
00:08:24.27\00:08:28.07
AND ONE OF THEM SAID, 'WELL,
THAT'S BECAUSE JESUS ROSE ON THE
00:08:28.10\00:08:33.17
FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK AND THAT
MADE IT THE NEW SABBATH.' AND I
00:08:33.21\00:08:36.64
SAID, 'ALRIGHT, WELL WHERE'S
THE VERSE THAT SAYS THAT?'
00:08:36.68\00:08:38.55
'WELL, THERE'S NOT REALLY A
SPECIFIC VERSE, BUT WE HAVE A
00:08:38.58\00:08:41.85
LONG-STANDING TRADITION.'
HMM...I SAID, 'OH, I'D LIKE MORE
00:08:41.88\00:08:45.75
THAN THAT.' I WENT TO ANOTHER
PASTOR AND I SAID, 'WHY ARE WE
00:08:45.79\00:08:49.16
GOING TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY?'
AND WE'RE NOT EVEN KEEPING
00:08:49.19\00:08:52.46
SUNDAY VERY HOLY. LET'S FACE IT.
00:08:52.49\00:08:54.83
A LOT OF PEOPLE, THEY PUT IN
AN HOUR AND A HALF AT CHURCH AND
00:08:54.83\00:08:57.93
THEN THEY GO TO THE MOVIES,
THEY GO TO THE MALL, THEY GO MOW
00:08:57.97\00:08:59.77
THEIR LAWN, RIGHT?
EVEN AMONG PEOPLE THAT DON'T
00:08:59.80\00:09:03.84
KEEP THE SEVENTH DAY, NOT VERY
MANY PEOPLE ARE KEEPING IT HOLY.
00:09:03.87\00:09:06.07
AND I REMEMBER ONE PASTOR SAID,
'WELL, PASTOR DOUG, WE DON'T
00:09:06.11\00:09:10.41
NEED TO KEEP IT, IT'S PART OF
THE LAW AND IT'S ALL NAILED TO
00:09:10.45\00:09:13.82
THE CROSS.' I
SAID, 'DO WE KEEP THE TEN
00:09:13.85\00:09:17.05
COMMANDMENTS OR NOT?' I
WAS DOING A MEETING LIKE THIS
00:09:17.09\00:09:19.99
ONE TIME AND A PASTOR
CAME AND HE INTERRUPTED ME.
00:09:20.02\00:09:22.19
HE SAID, 'PASTOR DOUG, YOU'RE
PUTTING THESE PEOPLE UNDER
00:09:22.22\00:09:25.73
BONDAGE BY TEACHING THE LAW.'
AND I SAID, 'DO YOU BELIEVE
00:09:25.76\00:09:29.73
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO
KEEP THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?'
00:09:29.76\00:09:31.97
HE SAID, 'NO.' WELL, SOME OF
HIS MEMBERS WERE THERE AND THEY
00:09:32.00\00:09:35.10
LOOKED AT HIM LIKE - BECAUSE,
YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW,
00:09:35.14\00:09:38.81
YOU DON'T KILL, DON'T LIE, DON'T
STEAL, AND SO HE HAD NO PROBLEM
00:09:38.84\00:09:41.44
WITH THE OTHERS.
00:09:41.48\00:09:42.98
AND THEN HE SAID, 'WELL, YES.'
BUT THEN, YOU KNOW, IT'S PART OF
00:09:43.01\00:09:46.55
A COMPLETE PACKAGE - IT'S RIGHT
IN THE MIDDLE - AND THEN HE
00:09:46.58\00:09:50.02
SAID, 'NINE OF THEM.' AND I
SAID, 'SO BROTHER, YOU'RE SAYING
00:09:50.05\00:09:54.86
THAT THE ONE COMMANDMENT
THAT GOD BEGINS WITH THE WORD
00:09:54.89\00:09:57.36
'REMEMBER' IS THE ONLY
ONE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO FORGET?'
00:09:57.39\00:10:01.96
I SAID, 'THAT DIDN'T MAKE
SENSE.' BUT, I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT
00:10:02.00\00:10:05.67
CONVINCED ME IS I ASKED TEN
PASTORS, I GOT TWELVE DIFFERENT
00:10:05.70\00:10:08.17
ANSWERS - THEY
WERE ALL DIFFERENT.
00:10:08.20\00:10:10.11
I SAID, 'SOMETHING'S WRONG HERE.
WE DON'T HAVE A GOOD BIBLICAL
00:10:10.14\00:10:12.27
REASON.' GOD DID
SOMETHING SPECIAL ON THIS DAY.
00:10:12.31\00:10:15.71
IT SAYS THREE, IN
PARTICULAR, THINGS.
00:10:15.74\00:10:18.25
IT SAYS GOD RESTED THAT DAY, GOD
BLESSED THAT DAY, GOD SANCTIFIED
00:10:18.28\00:10:25.25
THE SEVENTH DAY. HE'S GOD.
YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT HE GETS
00:10:25.29\00:10:29.02
TO MAKE THE RULES.
WHICH DAY DID JESUS KEEP HOLY?
00:10:29.06\00:10:33.80
ALRIGHT, YOU READ HERE IN LUKE
CHAPTER 4, VERSE 16 - THIS IS IN
00:10:33.83\00:10:37.60
THE NEW TESTAMENT - "SO HE CAME
TO NAZARETH, WHERE HE HAD BEEN
00:10:37.63\00:10:41.60
BROUGHT UP. AND AS HIS
CUSTOM WAS," - WHAT'S A CUSTOM?
00:10:41.64\00:10:45.47
SOMETHING YOU DO ONCE OR
SOMETHING THAT'S A PATTERN?
00:10:45.51\00:10:49.04
>>PATTERN. >>IT WAS
CUSTOMARY - SOMETHING
00:10:49.08\00:10:51.11
HE ALWAYS DID. "AS HIS CUSTOM
WAS, HE WENT INTO THE SYNAGOGUE
00:10:51.15\00:10:54.45
ON THE SABBATH DAY, AND STOOD
UP TO READ." JESUS WENT TO THE
00:10:54.48\00:10:58.89
SYNAGOGUE ON THE SABBATH
AND HE READ THE SCRIPTURES.
00:10:58.92\00:11:00.52
IT WAS A CUSTOM OF HIS
LIFE - A HABIT - A PRACTICE.
00:11:00.56\00:11:04.29
NOT ONLY WAS IT THE PRACTICE OF
JESUS, AND HE'S OUR EXAMPLE, IT
00:11:04.33\00:11:08.63
WAS A PRACTICE OF
THE APOSTLES AS WELL.
00:11:08.66\00:11:12.47
WHAT WAS PAUL'S CUSTOM
REGARDING THE SABBATH DAY?
00:11:12.50\00:11:15.70
PAUL, ONE OF THE GREAT - ABOUT
HALF OF THE NEW TESTAMENT YOU'RE
00:11:15.74\00:11:18.21
HOLDING WAS WRITTEN BY
PAUL. WHAT WAS HIS PATTERN?
00:11:18.24\00:11:21.78
ACTS 17, VERSE 2, "THEN PAUL,
AS HIS MANNER WAS, WENT IN UNTO
00:11:21.81\00:11:28.35
THEM, AND THREE SABBATH DAYS
REASONED WITH THEM OUT OF THE
00:11:28.38\00:11:31.72
SCRIPTURES," - YOU CAN JUMP
TO ACTS 18, VERSE 4 AND IT SAYS,
00:11:31.75\00:11:36.02
"HE REASONED IN THE SYNAGOGUE
EVERY SABBATH, AND PERSUADED THE
00:11:36.06\00:11:41.06
JEWS AND THE GREEKS." -
JEWS AND GENTILES - SOME
00:11:41.10\00:11:43.53
PEOPLE SAY, 'WELL PAUL WENT
THERE BECAUSE HE WAS JUST TRYING
00:11:43.57\00:11:46.90
TO REACH THE JEWS.' BUT IT SAYS
EVEN WHEN THE JEWS DIDN'T COME,
00:11:46.94\00:11:49.90
HE'D GO AND HE'D
SPEAK TO THE GENTILES.
00:11:49.94\00:11:52.11
IN FACT, BEFORE PAUL WAS
PAUL HE HAD ANOTHER NAME.
00:11:52.14\00:11:54.58
YOU KNOW WHAT IT WAS? >>SAUL.
00:11:54.61\00:11:55.94
>>SAUL - BEFORE HE WAS CONVERTED
HE WENT BY THE NAME SAUL AND HE
00:11:55.98\00:12:01.08
WAS OUT GATHERING AND
PERSECUTING, ARRESTING, KILLING
00:12:01.12\00:12:04.42
CHRISTIANS, RIGHT? YOU
KNOW WHERE THE BIBLE SAYS HE
00:12:04.45\00:12:07.92
WENT TO LOOK FOR
THEM? IT SAYS HE WENT TO THE
00:12:07.96\00:12:10.33
SYNAGOGUES TO FIND
THE CHRISTIANS. WHY?
00:12:10.36\00:12:13.36
BECAUSE THEY WERE MEETING
THE SAME DAYS THAT THE JEWS WERE
00:12:13.40\00:12:16.26
MEETING. THE EARLY
CHRISTIAN CHURCH ALL
00:12:16.30\00:12:19.07
WERE KEEPING THE SABBATH.
HOW IMPORTANT DO YOU THINK ONE
00:12:19.10\00:12:23.47
OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
WAS TO THE JEWISH NATION?
00:12:23.51\00:12:27.18
WHEN THE CHRISTIANS ACCEPTED
JESUS - GENTILE AND JEW - THEY
00:12:27.21\00:12:32.01
ARGUED OVER CIRCUMCISION; THEY
ARGUED OVER THE FEAST DAYS AND A
00:12:32.05\00:12:36.45
NUMBER OF THINGS. YOU
DON'T FIND ANY ARGUMENT OVER
00:12:36.48\00:12:39.59
THE SUBJECT OF WHETHER OR NOT
WE'RE GOING TO KEEP THE SABBATH.
00:12:39.62\00:12:42.79
EVERY TIME JESUS HAD A DISPUTE
OVER THE SABBATH, IT WASN'T
00:12:42.82\00:12:45.63
WHETHER OR NOT TO KEEP
IT, IT WAS HOW TO KEEP IT.
00:12:45.66\00:12:49.23
DOUG: DON'T GO
ANYWHERE, FRIENDS.
00:12:49.26\00:12:50.57
WE'LL BE BACK IN JUST
A MOMENT WITH THE REST
00:12:50.60\00:12:52.43

IS THIS STRESSFUL GRIND

00:12:59.37\00:13:02.38
WAS MEANT TO BE LIVED?
00:13:02.41\00:13:03.95
OR IS THERE SOMETHING BETTER
OUT THERE WAITING FOR YOU?
00:13:03.98\00:13:07.38
WELL, WHAT IF I TOLD YOU
THAT GOD HAD ORIGINALLY DESIGNED
00:13:07.42\00:13:10.79
MANKIND TO TAKE A REGULAR
REFRESHING WEEKLY BREAK, AND
00:13:10.82\00:13:15.09
THAT IN DOING THIS, YOUR
LIFE, AND EVEN YOUR HEALTH,
00:13:15.12\00:13:17.76
WOULD IMPROVE.
00:13:17.79\00:13:19.23
IT'S A BLESSING CALLED
THE SABBATH, AND IT CAN CHANGE
00:13:19.26\00:13:22.46
YOUR LIFE FOREVER.

LET'S RETURN NOW TO TODAY'S
PRESENTATION AND LEARN SOME MORE
00:14:00.67\00:14:03.71
AMAZING FACTS
FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:14:03.74\00:14:06.44
>> HE SAID, 'THE SABBATH IS FOR
DOING GOOD, NOT FOR DOING EVIL.'
00:14:07.41\00:14:09.74
HE HEALED SOMEBODY, RIGHT?
HE NEVER SAID, 'DON'T KEEP THE
00:14:09.78\00:14:12.38
SABBATH ANYMORE.' JESUS, AS
HIS CUSTOM WAS, HE WENT INTO THE
00:14:12.41\00:14:15.75
SYNAGOGUE. THE
BIBLE IS SO CLEAR - THINK
00:14:15.78\00:14:18.42
ABOUT IT - WHEN GOD GAVE
THE LAW, HOW CLEARLY DID HE
00:14:18.45\00:14:22.46
ADVERTISE IT? HE
GATHERS THE WHOLE NATION,
00:14:22.49\00:14:26.03
FROM THIS DIVINE MEGAPHONE ON
THE TOP OF MOUNT SINAI HE, WITH
00:14:26.06\00:14:29.53
HIS OWN VOICE, ANNOUNCES THE
TEN COMMANDMENTS TO THE PEOPLE.
00:14:29.56\00:14:34.20
HE THEN SAYS,
'EVERYONE GOT THAT?' 'WE GOT IT!
00:14:34.24\00:14:36.24
ALL THE LORD HAS SAID WE WILL
DO.' HE SAYS, 'NOW I'M GOING TO
00:14:36.27\00:14:37.67
WRITE IT DOWN.' HE WRITES IT.
MOSES GETS MAD, HE BREAKS THOSE.
00:14:37.71\00:14:41.58
GOD SAYS, 'MOSES, I CUT OUT THE
FIRST STONES, YOU CUT OUT THE
00:14:41.61\00:14:44.31
NEXT STONES, BUT I'M WRITING IT
BACK DOWN AGAIN.' MOSES BRINGS
00:14:44.35\00:14:46.38
UP SOME MORE STONES, GOD
WRITES IT DOWN AGAIN. WHY?
00:14:46.41\00:14:49.52
'HEAVEN AND
EARTH WILL PASS AWAY.
00:14:49.55\00:14:51.35
MY WORD WILL NOT PASS
AWAY.' HE WROTE IT IN STONE.
00:14:51.39\00:14:54.36
IF GOD WAS GOING TO CHANGE ONE
OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, DON'T
00:14:54.39\00:14:57.79
YOU THINK THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN
A REALLY HOT TOPIC IN THE NEW
00:14:57.83\00:15:01.16
TESTAMENT? >>AMEN.
00:15:01.20\00:15:02.83
>>OH, THERE WOULD HAVE
BEEN INCREDIBLE DEBATE AND
00:15:02.86\00:15:04.67
DISCUSSION. IT WOULD
HAVE BEEN VERY CLEAR.
00:15:04.70\00:15:06.33
ALL OF THE APOSTLES
WOULD HAVE ADDRESSED IT.
00:15:06.37\00:15:08.57
BUT THEY DON'T BECAUSE IT WAS AN
UNDERSTOOD TRUTH. IT'S LIKE OUR
00:15:08.60\00:15:13.21
FOUNDING FATHERS SAID -
CERTAIN THINGS ARE SELF-EVIDENT.
00:15:13.24\00:15:16.34
AND FOR ALL OF THE EARLY
CHRISTIANS, IT WAS SELF-EVIDENT
00:15:16.38\00:15:19.01
THAT THEY KEPT THE SABBATH
DAY. WHY WOULD GOD CHANGE IT?
00:15:19.05\00:15:22.95
WHAT WAS WRONG
WITH THE SEVENTH DAY?
00:15:22.98\00:15:24.55
DO GENTILE CHRISTIANS
NOT NEED WORSHIP AND REST?
00:15:24.59\00:15:28.69
'PASTOR DOUG, DOESN'T IT SAY
IN COLOSSIANS CHAPTER 2, 'LET NO
00:15:28.72\00:15:32.43
MAN JUDGE YOU CONCERNING MEAT
OR DRINK OR NEW MOONS OR SABBATH
00:15:32.46\00:15:36.33
DAYS, WHICH ARE SHADOWS'?
LOOK AT THAT, MY BIBLE JUST
00:15:36.36\00:15:39.03
TURNED TO IT - COLOSSIANS
CHAPTER 2 - YOU READ IN VERSE
00:15:39.07\00:15:41.90
13, "AND YOU BEING DEAD
IN YOUR TRESPASSES AND THE
00:15:41.94\00:15:46.47
UNCIRCUMCISION OF YOUR
FLESH, HE HAS MADE ALIVE" -
00:15:46.51\00:15:49.28
NOTICE PAUL USES THE WORD
'CIRCUMCISION' THERE SO IT TELLS
00:15:49.31\00:15:51.11
YOU WHAT THE TOPIC IS. "HE
HAS MADE ALIVE TOGETHER WITH
00:15:51.15\00:15:53.85
HIM HAVING FORGIVEN ALL YOUR
TRESPASSES; HAVING WIPED OUT THE
00:15:53.88\00:15:57.29
HANDWRITING" - TEN COMMANDMENTS,
WERE THEY WRITTEN, LIKE THE LAW
00:15:57.32\00:16:01.46
OF MOSES, ON PAPER BY HAND OR
BY THE FINGER OF GOD IN STONE?
00:16:01.49\00:16:05.13
THERE WAS - THE CEREMONIAL LAW
WAS WRITTEN BY MOSES - "HAVING
00:16:05.16\00:16:08.60
WIPED OUT THE HANDWRITING OF
REQUIREMENTS THAT WAS AGAINST
00:16:08.63\00:16:11.87
US" - WHEN MOSES WROTE THE
CEREMONIAL LAW HE PUT IT IN THE
00:16:11.90\00:16:15.40
OUTSIDE OF THE ARK IN A POCKET
AND HE SAID, 'THIS WILL BE A
00:16:15.44\00:16:18.11
WITNESS AGAINST YOU.' HE
DIDN'T SAY THAT ABOUT THE TEN
00:16:18.14\00:16:21.11
COMMANDMENTS. "THE
HANDWRITING OF ORDINANCE
00:16:21.14\00:16:23.61
THAT WAS AGAINST US, TAKING
IT OUT OF THE WAY, NAILING IT TO
00:16:23.65\00:16:27.32
THE CROSS." AND
THEN I'LL JUMP DOWN.
00:16:27.35\00:16:30.15
HE SAYS IN VERSE 16, "SO LET
NO ONE JUDGE YOU IN FOOD OR IN
00:16:30.19\00:16:34.39
DRINK, OR REGARDING OF A
FESTIVAL, OR A NEW MOON, OR
00:16:34.42\00:16:36.93
SABBATHS, WHICH ARE A
SHADOW OF THINGS TO COME."
00:16:36.96\00:16:41.00
PEOPLE SAY, 'SEE, DON'T LET
ANYONE JUDGE YOU REGARDING THE
00:16:41.03\00:16:42.96
SABBATH.' THEY'RE NOT READING IT
HONESTLY. THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT
00:16:43.00\00:16:46.60
KINDS OF SABBATHS IN THE BIBLE.
THERE WAS THE SABBATH OF THE TEN
00:16:46.63\00:16:49.87
COMMANDMENTS AND THERE WERE THE
ANNUAL FEAST DAY SABBATHS - ONE
00:16:49.90\00:16:54.01
CAME WEEKLY, THE OTHERS
WERE WRITTEN ON PAPER - THE TEN
00:16:54.04\00:16:57.45
COMMANDMENTS WAS
WRITTEN ON STONE.
00:16:57.48\00:16:59.48
ONE WAS PART OF WORSHIP FOR
EVERYBODY, THE OTHERS ORIGINATED
00:16:59.51\00:17:03.05
AFTER THE EXODUS AND
THEY ENDED AT THE CROSS.
00:17:03.08\00:17:05.79
THEY WERE SHADOWS TO
HELP US RECOGNIZE JESUS.
00:17:05.82\00:17:09.06
AND SO PEOPLE WILL POINT TO THAT
AND THEY'LL SAY, 'SEE, WE DON'T
00:17:09.09\00:17:11.99
HAVE TO - DON'T LET ANYONE
JUDGE YOU ABOUT THE SABBATH.
00:17:12.03\00:17:14.00
YOU DON'T HAVE TO KEEP A
SABBATH.' THAT'S A VERY POOR
00:17:14.00\00:17:17.57
EXEGESIS OF THE BIBLE,
WHEN THEY USE IT THAT WAY.
00:17:17.60\00:17:19.73
BUT SOMEONE'S GOING
TO BRING THAT TO YOU.
00:17:19.77\00:17:21.80
SOMEONE ELSE IS GOING TO POINT
OUT ROMANS 14, WHERE IT SAYS,
00:17:21.84\00:17:25.01
'ONE MAN REGARDS ONE DAY ABOVE
ANOTHER; ANOTHER MAN REGARDS
00:17:25.04\00:17:27.28
EVERY DAY ALIKE. LET
EVERY MAN BE PERSUADED IN
00:17:27.31\00:17:29.64
HIS OWN MIND.' THE
WORD 'SABBATH' NEVER EVEN
00:17:29.68\00:17:32.08
APPEARS IN THE CHAPTER.
PAUL IS TALKING ABOUT THESE
00:17:32.11\00:17:34.58
ANNUAL FEASTS THAT THEY WERE
BEING TOLD THEY HAD TO KEEP.
00:17:34.62\00:17:37.39
PAUL SAYS, 'LOOK, IF YOU WANT
TO KEEP THE DAY, KEEP IT TO THE
00:17:37.42\00:17:39.39
LORD.' PEOPLE COME TO ME
AND THEY SAY, 'ARE CHRISTIANS
00:17:39.42\00:17:42.39
REQUIRED TO OBSERVE CHRISTMAS?'
I SAY, 'NO, THERE'S NO COMMAND.
00:17:42.42\00:17:47.03
IF YOU'RE GOING TO REMEMBER IT,
KEEP JESUS IN IT' - DO IT UNTO
00:17:47.03\00:17:50.47
THE LORD - 'IF YOU'RE NOT, THEN
YOU'RE NOT.' BUT NO, THERE'S NO
00:17:50.50\00:17:54.44
COMMAND - 'THOU SHALT REMEMBER
CHRISTMAS.' YOU ALL KNOW IT'S
00:17:54.47\00:17:57.51
PROBABLY NOT THE 25TH WHEN JESUS
WAS BORN, BUT THAT'S AS GOOD A
00:17:57.54\00:18:00.98
TIME AS ANY TO
REMEMBER HIS BIRTHDAY.
00:18:01.01\00:18:03.31
ASK ME A QUESTION ABOUT THAT.
SO YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR THESE
00:18:03.35\00:18:05.45
ARGUMENTS, BUT I PRAY
THAT YOU'LL HEAR IT OUT.
00:18:05.48\00:18:08.68
ASK ANY QUESTION YOU WANT,
WE'LL BE WILLING TO ANSWER THEM.
00:18:08.72\00:18:11.32
ALRIGHT, BACK TO OUR STUDY.
DID JESUS INTEND FOR HIS PEOPLE
00:18:11.35\00:18:16.76
TO KEEP THE SABBATH
AFTER HE DIED FOR THEIR SINS?
00:18:16.79\00:18:20.33
LISTEN TO THE PROPHECY NOW
THAT JESUS GIVES IN MATTHEW 24.
00:18:20.36\00:18:24.17
SPEAKING OF THE SECOND COMING HE
SAID - AND THE TIME OF TROUBLE
00:18:24.20\00:18:28.04
AT THE END - HE SAID, 'PRAY
THAT YOUR FLIGHT BE NOT IN THE
00:18:28.07\00:18:31.31
WINTER" - AND HE'S NOT TALKING
ABOUT CATCHING A PLANE OUT OF
00:18:31.34\00:18:33.31
DENVER - HE SAYS, 'PRAY
THAT YOUR FLIGHT BE NOT IN THE
00:18:33.34\00:18:36.81
WINTER' - HE'S TALKING ABOUT
FLEEING FOR YOUR LIVES BECAUSE
00:18:36.85\00:18:38.98
IT SAYS 'THOSE THAT BE IN JUDEA
FLEE INTO THE MOUNTAINS.' IN THE
00:18:39.01\00:18:42.28
LAST DAYS, WHEN THERE'S THIS
GREAT TRIBULATION, GOD'S PEOPLE
00:18:42.32\00:18:44.79
WILL AGAIN HAVE TO FLEE.
THOSE - HE SAID, 'PRAY YOUR
00:18:44.82\00:18:48.06
FLIGHT IS NOT IN THE WINTER OR
ON THE SABBATH DAY.' WHY WOULD
00:18:48.09\00:18:51.69
JESUS SAY THAT EXCEPT JESUS
EXPECTED HIS PEOPLE WOULD STILL
00:18:51.73\00:18:55.63
KNOW ABOUT THE
SABBATH IN THE LAST DAYS.
00:18:55.66\00:18:58.77
EVEN THOUGH THEY MAY HAVE
FORGOTTEN FOR A WHILE, BEFORE HE
00:18:58.80\00:19:01.80
COMES BACK THERE'S GOING TO BE
A GREAT REVIVAL AND GOD'S PEOPLE
00:19:01.84\00:19:04.47
ARE GOING TO COME BACK TOGETHER
ON THE BIBLE - BEFORE JESUS
00:19:04.51\00:19:07.38
COMES BACK. >>AMEN.
00:19:07.41\00:19:09.18
>>THIS TRUTH THAT I'M SHARING
WITH YOU, I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE.
00:19:09.21\00:19:12.15
IT'S GOING ALL OVER THE
WORLD AND I AM MEETING BAPTISTS,
00:19:12.18\00:19:15.55
PENTECOSTAL, METHODIST -
CHRISTIANS FROM ALL DIFFERENT
00:19:15.58\00:19:18.65
FAITHS THAT ARE TALKING TO THEIR
PEOPLE - MATTER OF FACT, RIGHT
00:19:18.69\00:19:21.56
UP THE STREET FROM OUR OFFICE IN
CALIFORNIA, A LARGE CHURCH WITH
00:19:21.59\00:19:23.96
SEVERAL THOUSAND PEOPLE, THEY
LEARNED THE TRUTH ON THIS AND
00:19:23.99\00:19:26.53
THEY'RE MEETING
TWO DAYS A WEEK NOW.
00:19:26.56\00:19:30.47
YOU PROBABLY KNOW SOME OTHER
EVANGELICAL CHURCHES THAT ARE
00:19:30.50\00:19:33.20
NOW HAVING SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY MEETINGS BECAUSE THEY'RE
00:19:33.23\00:19:36.57
LEARNING THESE THINGS. WE
NEED TO GET BACK TO WHAT THE
00:19:36.60\00:19:39.04
BIBLE SAYS, FRIENDS.
AND IT'S NOT JUST GOING TO
00:19:39.07\00:19:40.61
CHURCH, WE NEED TO LEARN
ABOUT KEEPING A DAY HOLY.
00:19:40.64\00:19:44.08
WHAT IT MEANS TO REST.
DOES THE BIBLE TEACH THAT GOD'S
00:19:44.11\00:19:47.98
END-TIME PEOPLE WOULD ALSO KEEP
HIS SEVENTH-DAY SABBATH HOLY?
00:19:48.02\00:19:53.02
LET'S SEE WHAT IT SAYS HERE
IN REVELATION - ANOTHER PROPHECY
00:19:53.05\00:19:55.79
SCRIPTURE - AND THE DRAGON -
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE,
00:19:55.82\00:19:58.63
WHO'S THE DRAGON? >>THE DEVIL.
00:19:58.66\00:20:00.53
>>'THE DEVIL WAS WROTH'
- WE'RE USING KING JAMES.
00:20:00.56\00:20:03.16
THAT'S OLD ENGLISH. THAT MEANS
'INFURIATED' WITH THE WOMAN.
00:20:03.20\00:20:06.87
WHICH WOMAN IS
THE DRAGON WROTH WITH?
00:20:06.90\00:20:08.70
>>THE CHURCH.
>>CHURCH, GOOD CHURCH OR BAD
00:20:08.74\00:20:10.04
CHURCH? >>GOOD CHURCH.
00:20:10.07\00:20:11.44
>>THE FACT THAT THE DEVIL'S
MAD AT HER MEANS SHE'S THE GOOD
00:20:11.47\00:20:13.21
CHURCH, RIGHT? 'AND
HE WENT TO MAKE WAR WITH
00:20:13.24\00:20:16.81
THE REMAINDER - OR THE REMNANT
- OF HER SEED THAT' - DO WHAT?
00:20:16.85\00:20:20.98
- 'KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD
AND THEY HAVE THE TESTIMONY OF
00:20:21.02\00:20:25.39
JESUS.' NOW DOES THAT MEAN
KEEP SOME OF THE COMMANDMENTS?
00:20:25.42\00:20:30.33
EVERYBODY - YOU'LL HEAR MY
TESTIMONY TOMORROW MORNING.
00:20:30.36\00:20:33.33
I'VE BEEN IN JAIL SEVERAL TIMES
AND EVERYBODY I EVER MET IN JAIL
00:20:33.36\00:20:36.56
KEEPS SOME OF THE
COMMANDMENTS SOME OF THE TIME.
00:20:36.60\00:20:38.30
(LAUGHTER) IS THAT
WHAT GOD'S LOOKING FOR?
00:20:38.33\00:20:41.54
I MEAN, AT LEAST WHEN WE SLEEP.
THE BIBLE SAYS, 'WHOSOEVER SHALL
00:20:41.57\00:20:46.27
BREAK ONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE
COMMANDMENTS HAS BROKEN THEM
00:20:46.31\00:20:50.01
ALL' - THAT'S JAMES - AND SO YOU
CAN'T STAND BEFORE THE JUDGE AND
00:20:50.05\00:20:54.65
SAY, 'WELL, YOU KNOW, I PAY MY
TAXES ON TIME AND I DON'T SPEED.
00:20:54.68\00:20:59.92
I REALIZE I MURDERED SOMEBODY -
THAT'S ONLY - BUT I'M GIVING YOU
00:20:59.95\00:21:02.39
90 PERCENT OBEDIENCE, JUDGE.'
HE'S NOT GOING TO CARE ABOUT
00:21:02.42\00:21:05.03
THAT. REVELATION
14 - ANOTHER VERSE,
00:21:05.06\00:21:09.10
SIMILAR - 'HERE IS THE PATIENCE
OF THE SAINTS; HERE ARE THOSE
00:21:09.13\00:21:12.20
THAT KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF
GOD.' NOW THAT'S CONTRASTED WITH
00:21:12.23\00:21:16.07
THOSE WHO WORSHIP THE BEAST
AND HIS IMAGE - SAME CHAPTER -
00:21:16.10\00:21:19.11
PEOPLE LIKE DANIEL.
REVELATION 22 - LAST CHAPTER IN
00:21:19.14\00:21:22.81
YOUR BIBLE -
'BLESSED' - IS THAT GOOD OR BAD?
00:21:22.84\00:21:25.75
BLESSED? >>THAT'S GOOD.
00:21:25.78\00:21:27.08
>>BLESSED ARE THOSE THAT DO
HIS COMMANDMENTS THAT THEY MIGHT
00:21:27.12\00:21:30.75
HAVE A RIGHT TO THE TREE OF LIFE
AND ENTER THROUGH THE GATES OF
00:21:30.79\00:21:33.99
THE CITY. YOU'RE
GOING TO TELL ME THIS
00:21:34.02\00:21:35.46
ISN'T IMPORTANT TO JESUS? IT IS.
00:21:35.49\00:21:38.79
THE CHURCH HAS LARGELY FORGOTTEN
THE ONE COMMANDMENT THAT HE SAID
00:21:38.83\00:21:42.33
'REMEMBER.' THE DEVIL
WANTS US TO FORGET OUR
00:21:42.36\00:21:45.23
TIME WITH GOD, SO WE
BECOME SO PREOCCUPIED.
00:21:45.27\00:21:48.20
JESUS SAID BEFORE HE COMES
BACK, 'BEWARE, BEWARE, LEST YOUR
00:21:48.24\00:21:52.54
HEARTS BE OVERCHARGED WITH THE
CARES OF THIS LIFE.' NEXT THING
00:21:52.57\00:21:56.48
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE ON SOCIAL
SECURITY, YOUR LIFE IS OVER, AND
00:21:56.51\00:22:01.55
YOU DIDN'T SERVE
GOD. NOW IS THE TIME.
00:22:01.58\00:22:05.32
DOES GOD ALLOW ANYONE
TO CHANGE HIS HOLY DAY?
00:22:05.35\00:22:09.79
DOES MAN SAY, 'I'M
GOING TO MAKE A DAY HOLY'?
00:22:09.82\00:22:11.86
CAN - DO WE HAVE
THE POWER TO DO THAT?
00:22:11.89\00:22:13.76
PROVERBS 30, VERSES 5 AND 6,
"EVERY WORD OF GOD IS PURE...ADD
00:22:13.80\00:22:20.54
THOU NOT UNTO HIS WORDS, LEST HE
REPROVE THEE, AND THOU BE FOUND
00:22:20.57\00:22:26.07
A LIAR." WHAT IS ONE OF THE
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BEAST
00:22:26.11\00:22:30.75
POWER THAT YOU FIND IN
DANIEL CHAPTER 7, VERSE 25?
00:22:30.78\00:22:34.95
'HE WILL THINK TO
CHANGES TIMES AND LAWS.'
00:22:34.98\00:22:39.45
DO YOU REMEMBER READING THAT?
SPEAKING OF THE BEAST POWER -
00:22:39.49\00:22:41.92
IT'S VERY CLEAR IN THAT CHAPTER.
CAN YOU NAME ONE OF THE TEN
00:22:41.96\00:22:44.96
COMMANDMENTS THAT IS
NOT ONLY A LAW BUT A TIME?
00:22:44.99\00:22:48.16
THERE'S ONLY ONE. IT
IS THE LONGEST OF THE TEN
00:22:48.20\00:22:50.83
COMMANDMENTS. IT IS
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LAW.
00:22:50.87\00:22:53.67
IT'S THE ONLY COMMANDMENT THAT
BEGINS WITH THE WORD 'REMEMBER.'
00:22:53.70\00:22:57.31
HEBREWS CHAPTER 4, VERSE 9,
"THERE REMAINS THEREFORE A REST
00:22:57.34\00:23:02.78
FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD." DO
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT WORD IS?
00:23:02.81\00:23:04.45
THIS IS NEW TESTAMENT - THAT
WORD 'REST' IS THERE REMAINS
00:23:04.48\00:23:06.72
THEREFORE A SABBATH - SABATISMOS
- FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD EVEN IN
00:23:06.75\00:23:10.89
THE NEW TESTAMENT. WHAT
DAY IS THE LORD'S DAY OF
00:23:10.92\00:23:13.99
REVELATION 1, VERSE 10?
PEOPLE SAY, 'WELL THAT'S THE
00:23:14.02\00:23:16.73
SABBATH, BUT WE REMEMBER THE
LORD'S DAY.' WELL, WHAT IS THE
00:23:16.76\00:23:19.03
LORD'S DAY? YOU CAN
READ IN EXODUS 20, IT
00:23:19.06\00:23:23.47
SAYS, "BUT THE SEVENTH DAY
IS THE SABBATH OF THE LORD THY
00:23:23.50\00:23:27.14
GOD"' YOU CAN
ALSO READ IN ISAIAH
00:23:27.17\00:23:29.64
58, VERSE 13, "IF YOU TURN AWAY
YOUR FOOT FROM THE SABBATH, FROM
00:23:29.67\00:23:34.81
DOING THY
PLEASURE ON MY HOLY DAY."
00:23:34.84\00:23:39.38
GOD SAYS THE
SABBATH IS HIS HOLY DAY.
00:23:39.41\00:23:41.78
AND THEN, AGAIN, MARK CHAPTER
2, WE'VE READ THIS ALREADY,
00:23:41.82\00:23:45.35
"THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN
IS LORD ALSO OF THE SABBATH."
00:23:45.39\00:23:48.29
WHEN JOHN WROTE THE VISION OF
REVELATION - IT SAYS - HE SAID,
00:23:48.32\00:23:51.29
'I WAS IN THE SPIRIT ON THE
LORD'S DAY.' A LOT OF PASTORS
00:23:51.33\00:23:54.50
HAVE JUST KIND OF TAKEN LIBERTY
AND SAID, 'THAT WAS ON SUNDAY.
00:23:54.56\00:23:57.50
HE WAS
WORSHIPING GOD ON SUNDAY.'
00:23:57.53\00:23:58.83
NOTHING IN THE TEXT OR IN
HISTORY SAYS IT WAS SUNDAY.
00:23:58.87\00:24:02.24
THE BIBLE SAYS WHAT
DAY IS THE LORD'S DAY.
00:24:02.27\00:24:05.04
IF ANYTHING, YOU KNOW, THEY
WORKED THEM IN THE MINES ON THE
00:24:05.07\00:24:07.61
ISLE OF PATMOS
WHERE HE WAS A PRISONER.
00:24:07.64\00:24:09.61
THEY GAVE HIM THAT DAY OFF
AND GOD GAVE HIM THE VISION.
00:24:09.64\00:24:14.95
FROM COVER TO COVER IN THE BIBLE
WE CAN SEE THAT THE DEVIL IS
00:24:14.98\00:24:18.82
TRYING TO DO ALL HE CAN TO KEEP
US SO PREOCCUPIED WITH WORK AND
00:24:18.85\00:24:22.86
WORRY AND STRESS AND
CARES THAT WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT
00:24:22.89\00:24:27.40
MEANS TO REALLY REST IN JESUS.
AND RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS
00:24:27.46\00:24:30.67
LAW GOD SAID, 'I WANT TO
PRESERVE A TIME FOR US TO
00:24:30.70\00:24:33.84
DEVELOP A RELATIONSHIP.' AFTER
HE MAKES THE WORLD IN SIX DAYS,
00:24:33.87\00:24:37.24
GOD SAYS, 'I'M NOT DONE.
I'M MAKING ONE MORE DAY FOR
00:24:37.27\00:24:40.74
QUALITY TIME WITH
YOU BECAUSE I LOVE YOU.
00:24:40.78\00:24:43.11
I WANT TO WALK WITH
YOU AND TALK WITH YOU.
00:24:43.14\00:24:45.25
I WANT TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP
WITH YOU.' WHAT SHOULD WE LOVE
00:24:45.28\00:24:48.82
MORE, THE
CREATION OR THE CREATOR?
00:24:48.85\00:24:51.15
>>CREATOR. >>HE WANTS TO HAVE A
00:24:51.19\00:24:53.76
RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU BUT WE GET
TOO BUSY WITH THE HORIZONTAL -
00:24:53.79\00:24:56.73
THE WORRIES - AND WE
FORGET ABOUT OUR TIME WITH GOD.
00:24:56.76\00:25:00.70
WHAT PROFIT IS IT IF YOU GAIN
THE WHOLE WORLD AND LOSE YOUR
00:25:00.73\00:25:02.53
SOUL? IF YOU DON'T
HAVE GOD, YOU DON'T
00:25:02.56\00:25:03.87
HAVE ANYTHING. IF
YOU'VE GOT GOD, YOU'VE GOT
00:25:03.90\00:25:06.33
EVERYTHING. >>AMEN.
00:25:06.37\00:25:08.47
>>IF YOU'VE GOT JESUS, YOU'VE
GOT THE WHOLE WORLD, FRIENDS.
00:25:08.50\00:25:11.07
AND CHRIST SAID WHAT? HE
SAID, 'IF YOU LOVE ME, KEEP
00:25:11.11\00:25:15.08
MY COMMANDMENTS.'
