"AMAZING FACTS PRESENTS."
00:00:08.34\00:00:11.67
>> SEE, THAT'S HOW
SIN ENTERED THE WORLD.
00:00:11.71\00:00:13.31
GOD SAID, "DON'T EAT
IT." THE DEVIL SAID, "EAT IT."
00:00:13.34\00:00:16.24
AND WHEN MAN CHOSE
TO LISTEN TO THE DEVIL,
00:00:16.28\00:00:18.25
THE DEVIL TOOK
POSSESSION OF OUR PLANET.

00:00:37.87\00:00:43.47
TODAY'S
PRESENTATION IS AN EXCERPT FROM
00:00:43.51\00:00:45.21
THE PROPHECY CODE VIDEO SERIES.
00:00:45.24\00:00:53.38
>> WOW, WE'VE GOT AN EXCITING
STUDY TONIGHT, AND I WANT
00:00:53.42\00:00:57.25
TO WELCOME YOU ONCE AGAIN.
OUR LESSON THAT CORRESPONDS WITH
00:00:57.29\00:01:01.29
OUR PRESENTATION TONIGHT
IS, "THE LOST DAY OF HISTORY."
00:01:01.32\00:01:05.26
AND IT IS SYNONYMOUS
WITH "HISTORY'S GREATEST HOAX"
00:01:05.29\00:01:08.90
WHICH IS THE
SERMON TITLE FOR TONIGHT.
00:01:08.93\00:01:13.27
A SUBJECT THAT IS VERY
IMPORTANT, VERY RELEVANT FOR
00:01:13.30\00:01:17.14
A PROPHECY SEMINAR LIKE
THIS AND I'M JUST GONNA TELL YOU
00:01:17.17\00:01:20.08
RIGHT NOW, PRAY, PLEASE,
FOR YOURS TRULY BECAUSE THIS IS
00:01:20.11\00:01:22.64
ONE OF THE VERY CONTROVERSIAL
SUBJECTS AMONG CHRISTIANS TODAY.
00:01:22.68\00:01:27.18
WHY, I DON'T KNOW;
BUT YOU KNOW THAT IT IS.
00:01:27.22\00:01:30.19
AND WHEN WE GET INTO IT,
YOU'LL UNDERSTAND BETTER.
00:01:30.22\00:01:32.35
"HISTORY'S GREATEST HOAX."
IF YOU GO TO REVELATION 13,
00:01:32.39\00:01:36.96
THIS IS THE HEART OF A LOT
OF PROPHECY PEOPLE WONDER ABOUT.
00:01:36.99\00:01:40.53
VERSE 15, WE READ,
SPEAKING OF THE BEAST POWER.
00:01:40.56\00:01:44.90
"HE WAS GRANTED POWER TO
GIVE BREATH TO THE IMAGE OF
00:01:44.93\00:01:48.00
THE BEAST, THAT THE IMAGE
OF THE BEAST SHOULD BOTH SPEAK
00:01:48.04\00:01:51.87
AND CAUSE AS MANY AS
WOULD NOT WORSHIP THE IMAGE OF
00:01:51.91\00:01:55.48
THE BEAST SHOULD BE KILLED."
NOW, IS IT CLEAR FROM THAT
00:01:55.51\00:02:00.35
PASSAGE TO EVERYBODY THAT
UNDERSTANDING SOMETHING ABOUT
00:02:00.38\00:02:04.52
RIGHT AND WRONG WORSHIP
IS AN ISSUE IN THE LAST DAYS?
00:02:04.55\00:02:10.16
REMEMBER, THAT CAIN AND ABEL,
THE FIRST TWO SONS OF ADAM AND
00:02:10.19\00:02:14.50
EVE, BROTHERS, THEY BOTH MADE AN
OFFERING TO GOD, ONE WORSHIPED
00:02:14.56\00:02:18.27
THE WAY THAT GOD HAD
PRESCRIBED. ONE DID NOT.
00:02:18.30\00:02:21.57
THE ONE WHO WORSHIPED THE WRONG
WAY KILLED THE ONE WHO WORSHIPED
00:02:21.60\00:02:26.37
THE RIGHT WAY. IN REVELATION,
WE HAVE A REPEAT SCENARIO.
00:02:26.41\00:02:32.48
THE ISSUE
REVOLVES AROUND WORSHIP.
00:02:32.51\00:02:36.18
THE WHOLE REBELLION OF THE
DEVIL REVOLVES AROUND WHO DO YOU
00:02:36.22\00:02:40.72
WORSHIP? WHO IS YOUR GOD?
00:02:40.76\00:02:44.36
AND AGAIN, DANIEL 7, SPEAKING
OF THE ANTICHRIST'S POWER.
00:02:44.39\00:02:47.40
VERSE 25, IT SAYS, "HE
WILL SPEAK GREAT WORDS AGAINST
00:02:47.40\00:02:50.37
THE MOST HIGH." WE'RE GONNA
STUDY MORE ABOUT THIS TOMORROW.
00:02:50.40\00:02:53.67
"AND HE WILL WEAR OUT THE
SAINTS OF THE MOST HIGH--"
00:02:53.70\00:02:56.20
PERSECUTING POWER,
WEAR OUT THE SAINTS--
00:02:56.24\00:02:58.74
"AND THINK TO
CHANGE TIMES AND LAWS."
00:02:58.77\00:03:02.18
NOW, WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT THE LAW OF GOD LAST NIGHT.
00:03:02.21\00:03:04.91
ARE YOU ALL AWARE, THERE'S ONLY
ONE OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS THAT
00:03:04.95\00:03:07.82
IS BOTH A TIME AND A LAW?
THAT'S THE FOURTH COMMANDMENT.
00:03:07.85\00:03:11.79
WHEN YOU READ IN DANIEL 3,
NEBUCHADNEZZAR THE BABYLONIAN
00:03:11.82\00:03:14.52
KING MAKES A GOLDEN IMAGE, TELLS
EVERYBODY AT THE APPROPRIATE
00:03:14.56\00:03:17.49
TIME, THEY ARE TO
WORSHIP HIS IMAGE OR BE KILLED.
00:03:17.53\00:03:21.76
YOU CAN READ THAT IN DANIEL 3:6.
00:03:21.80\00:03:23.97
"AND WHOSO FALLS NOT DOWN AND
WORSHIPS THE SAME HOUR WILL BE
00:03:24.00\00:03:28.07
CAST IN THE MIDST OF A BURNING
FIERY FURNACE." OF COURSE,
00:03:28.10\00:03:32.07
YOU REMEMBER THEIR NAMES.
HANANIAH, MISHAEL, AZARIAH.
00:03:32.11\00:03:34.78
THAT'S THE HEBREW NAME.
SHADRACH, MESHACH AND ABEDNEGO.
00:03:34.81\00:03:38.51
THE BABYLONIAN NAMES ARE
MORE POPULAR. THAT'S NOT FAIR.
00:03:38.55\00:03:41.45
THEY REFUSED TO BOW
DOWN AND WORSHIP THE KING
00:03:41.48\00:03:45.65
AND THE KING'S GOD. WHY?
00:03:45.69\00:03:47.76
BECAUSE IT CONFLICTED
WITH THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD.
00:03:47.79\00:03:50.96
AND FOR THAT, THEY STOOD UP
FOR THEIR FAITH. THEY WERE A
00:03:50.99\00:03:55.73
WITNESS FOR THE LORD IN THE
MIDST OF THAT VAST ASSEMBLY.
00:03:55.76\00:03:58.93
THEY WERE THROWN INTO A FIERY
FURNACE BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT
00:03:58.97\00:04:01.87
VIOLATE THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD
IN ORDER TO WORSHIP THE WAY THIS
00:04:01.90\00:04:05.71
POLITICAL, RELIGIOUS
POWER TOLD THEM TO WORSHIP.
00:04:05.74\00:04:09.44
THIS IS GONNA HAPPEN AGAIN,
FRIENDS, SO I HOPE WE'RE ALL
00:04:09.48\00:04:11.28
PAYING ATTENTION. SO THE
KING THREW THEM IN THE FURNACE.
00:04:11.31\00:04:14.62
DID THEY PERISH THERE OR WERE
THEY DELIVERED THROUGH THE FIRE?
00:04:14.65\00:04:19.92
THEN AGAIN, YOU READ IN DANIEL
6, ANOTHER LAW IS ENACTED.
00:04:19.95\00:04:23.76
THE MEDO-PERSIAN LEADERS
TOLD THE KING TO SIGN A LAW--
00:04:23.79\00:04:28.60
HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THEY WERE UP
TO--THAT YOU SHOULDN'T PRAY TO
00:04:28.63\00:04:30.57
ANYBODY BUT THE KING FOR
30 DAYS-- ANOTHER TIME PERIOD
00:04:30.60\00:04:33.97
CONNECTED WITH WORSHIP--AND
IF THEY DON'T, DEATH DECREE.
00:04:34.00\00:04:37.04
DEATH DECREE HERE WAS NOT A
FURNACE, IT WAS A LION'S DEN.
00:04:37.07\00:04:39.71
YOU SEE, THE DEVIL WANTS
GOD'S PEOPLE TO BREAK GOD'S LAW
00:04:39.74\00:04:44.71
BECAUSE THEN HE CAN
POINT TO THEM AND SAY,
00:04:44.75\00:04:46.25
"THEY DON'T LOVE YOU.
THEY'RE NOT LISTENING TO YOU.
00:04:46.28\00:04:49.18
THEY'RE LISTENING TO ME. THEY'RE
MINE. THEY'RE NOT YOURS."
00:04:49.22\00:04:51.65
SEE, THAT'S HOW
SIN ENTERED THE WORLD.
00:04:51.69\00:04:53.52
GOD SAID, "DON'T EAT
IT." THE DEVIL SAID, "EAT IT."
00:04:53.56\00:04:56.36
AND WHEN MAN CHOSE
TO LISTEN TO THE DEVIL,
00:04:56.39\00:04:58.33
THE DEVIL TOOK
POSSESSION OF OUR PLANET.
00:04:58.36\00:05:01.26
IN ORDER FOR THE LORD TO ONCE
AGAIN REASSUME THE NEW HEAVENS
00:05:01.30\00:05:05.87
AND THE NEW EARTH, THERE MUST BE
A PEOPLE WHO SAY, "WE'RE GONNA
00:05:05.90\00:05:08.50
OBEY GOD AND THE MEEK
WILL INHERIT THE EARTH."
00:05:08.54\00:05:13.21
DID GOD DELIVER
SHADRACH, MESHACH AND ABEDNEGO?
00:05:13.24\00:05:15.91
WILL GOD DELIVER HIS PEOPLE IN
THE LAST DAYS IF THEY STAND UP
00:05:15.94\00:05:18.88
FOR HIS LAW? AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
00:05:18.91\00:05:21.02
EVEN IF YOU'RE KILLED FOR YOUR
FAITH, YOU'RE STILL DELIVERED
00:05:21.05\00:05:23.15
BECAUSE CHRISTIANS DON'T
DIE. THEY JUST GO TO SLEEP AND
00:05:23.18\00:05:25.92
WAKE UP WITH NEW BODIES.
YOU CAN'T KILL A CHRISTIAN.
00:05:25.95\00:05:29.12
JESUS SAID, "DON'T FEAR HIM WHO
HURTS THE BODY BUT THAT CAN'T
00:05:29.16\00:05:31.56
TOUCH YOUR SOUL. FEAR
HIM WHO CAN DESTROY SOUL
00:05:31.59\00:05:33.76
AND BODY IN HELL." SOME
PEOPLE ARE MORE AFRAID OF
00:05:33.80\00:05:36.30
WHAT THE DEVIL'S GONNA
DO THAN THE POWER OF GOD.
00:05:36.33\00:05:39.27
AND DANIEL SAID, "MY GOD
HAS SENT HIS ANGEL, AND HAS SHUT
00:05:39.30\00:05:42.17
THE LIONS' MOUTHS, AND
THAT THEY HAVE NOT HURT ME."
00:05:42.20\00:05:44.77
THESE SAME ISSUES ARE GOING
TO BE REPEATED IN THE LAST DAYS.
00:05:44.81\00:05:48.24
IT REVOLVES AROUND HOW TO
WORSHIP GOD'S COMMANDMENTS
00:05:48.28\00:05:52.18
AND WHEN. AND THAT'S
WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
00:05:52.21\00:05:56.62
NOW, I'M GONNA HIT THIS HEAD ON.
AND I THINK THAT YOU FOLKS KNOW
00:05:56.65\00:05:59.79
I LIKE TO BE VERY
HONEST AND FORTHRIGHT.
00:05:59.82\00:06:02.12
I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS REGARDING
00:06:02.16\00:06:05.16
THE SABBATH DAY. AND I
DON'T WANT TO OFFEND ANYBODY.
00:06:05.19\00:06:09.10
I WANT TO LAY THE GROUNDWORK
BY SAYING, I CURRENTLY WORSHIP
00:06:09.13\00:06:12.23
GOD ON THE--WELL, I
WORSHIP HIM 7 DAYS A WEEK.
00:06:12.27\00:06:14.97
BUT I DON'T KEEP ALL
7 DAYS AS THE SABBATH.
00:06:15.00\00:06:17.24
THAT'S A DIFFERENT ISSUE,
RIGHT? SOME PEOPLE SAY, "WELL,
00:06:17.27\00:06:19.64
I WORSHIP GOD 7 DAYS A
WEEK." AND I SAY, "THAT'S FINE.
00:06:19.67\00:06:22.38
BUT IF YOU KEEP THE SABBATH
7 DAYS A WEEK, YOU'RE LAZY.
00:06:22.41\00:06:24.11
YOU'RE NOT HOLY." RIGHT?
00:06:24.15\00:06:27.15
BUT I KNOW THAT THERE ARE
MANY SPIRIT-FILLED CHRISTIANS.
00:06:27.18\00:06:32.79
THEY LOVE THE LORD, THEY'RE
GODLY PEOPLE, THEY'VE BEEN
00:06:32.82\00:06:34.76
WALKING IN THE LIGHT THAT ARE
WORSHIPING ON THE FIRST DAY OF
00:06:34.79\00:06:38.16
THE WEEK WHAT WE
COMMONLY CALL SUNDAY.
00:06:38.19\00:06:39.93
I AM NOT TRYING TO RIDICULE
OR CRITICIZE THOSE PEOPLE.
00:06:39.96\00:06:43.00
I KNOW THERE WILL BE THOUSANDS,
IF NOT MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WHO
00:06:43.03\00:06:46.67
WORSHIPED IN WHAT, I BELIEVE,
IS NOT THE BIBLE SABBATH
00:06:46.70\00:06:49.34
THAT WILL BE IN HEAVEN
BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T KNOW BETTER.
00:06:49.37\00:06:52.17
SO IS EVERYONE CLEAR ON THIS?
THAT'S WHEN I USED TO GO TO
00:06:52.21\00:06:54.54
CHURCH, WHEN I
FIRST ACCEPTED THE LORD.
00:06:54.58\00:06:56.51
BUT AS I STUDIED THE BIBLE, I
FOUND OUT, NO MATTER HOW POPULAR
00:06:56.54\00:06:59.71
SOMETHING IS, THERE'S A LOT OF
PEOPLE THAT ARE DOING SOMETHING
00:06:59.75\00:07:02.95
THAT ISN'T BIBLICAL. AND I WANT
TO BE A BIBLE CHRISTIAN, AMEN?
00:07:02.98\00:07:07.62
"ON WHAT DAY--" AND YOU'LL
FIND OUT HOW THIS INTERLOCKS
00:07:07.66\00:07:10.66
WITH THE LAST-DAY
PROPHECY IN A VERY REAL WAY.
00:07:10.69\00:07:13.46
"ON WHAT DAY DID
JESUS CUSTOMARILY WORSHIP?"
00:07:13.50\00:07:16.23
ANSWER LUKE 4:16, "AND HE CAME
TO NAZARETH, WHERE HE HAD BEEN
00:07:16.26\00:07:20.47
BROUGHT UP: AND, AS HIS
CUSTOM WAS--" WHAT'S A CUSTOM?
00:07:20.50\00:07:24.71
SOMETHING YOU DO ONCE
OR TWICE OR IT'S A PATTERN?
00:07:24.74\00:07:27.44
"HIS PATTERN WAS HE WENT INTO
THE SYNAGOGUE ON THE SABBATH DAY
00:07:27.48\00:07:30.65
AND HE STOOD UP TO READ."
JESUS HAD A PATTERN OF GOING
00:07:30.68\00:07:33.98
TO CHURCH EVERY SABBATH
DAY AND READING THE SCRIPTURE.
00:07:34.02\00:07:37.02
THE WORD "SYNAGOGUE" IS THE
HEBREW EQUIVALENT OF CHURCH.
00:07:37.05\00:07:39.95
IT MEANS THE GATHERING PLACE.
AND SO THIS WAS HIS PATTERN.
00:07:39.99\00:07:43.86
"BUT WHICH DAY OF THE WEEK
IS THE SABBATH OR THE BIBLE
00:07:43.89\00:07:47.83
SABBATH?" WELL,
YOU CAN FIND THE ANSWER
00:07:47.86\00:07:50.17
TO THIS IN THE VERY
BEGINNING OF YOUR BIBLE.
00:07:50.20\00:07:52.60
IF YOU TURN IN YOUR
BIBLES TO GENESIS 2.
00:07:52.63\00:07:54.84
AND WE'LL READ VERSES 2 AND
3. I'VE GOT IT ON THE SCREEN.
00:07:54.87\00:07:57.51
YOU MIGHT WANT TO READ
IT OUT OF YOUR OWN BIBLE.
00:07:57.54\00:07:59.47
SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT
THE SABBATH DAY WAS INVENTED
00:07:59.51\00:08:02.01
BY MOSES AND IT'S
SOMETHING FOR THE JEWS.
00:08:02.04\00:08:04.78
IT'S PART OF CREATION.
"AND ON THE SEVENTH DAY--"
00:08:04.81\00:08:08.88
THIS IS THE 2ND
VERSE OF GENESIS 2.
00:08:08.92\00:08:11.75
"GOD ENDED HIS WORK WHICH HE
HAD MADE; AND HE RESTED ON THE
00:08:11.79\00:08:15.19
SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL HIS
WORK WHICH HE HAD MADE AND GOD
00:08:15.22\00:08:18.63
BLESSED THE SEVENTH
DAY, AND SANCTIFIED IT."
00:08:18.66\00:08:21.40
NOW, DON'T MISS THIS.
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.
00:08:21.43\00:08:25.23
FIRST TIME IN THE BIBLE ANY
NUMBER IS REPEATED THREE TIMES.
00:08:25.27\00:08:29.00
THREE IN THE BIBLE IS A
SYMBOL FOR THE HOLINESS OF GOD.
00:08:29.04\00:08:31.84
THE ANGELS SAY, "HOLY, HOLY,
HOLY," A SYMBOL OF HOLY FOR
00:08:31.87\00:08:34.74
THE FATHER, FOR THE
SON, FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:08:34.78\00:08:37.21
WHEN GOD SAYS, "THE
SEVENTH DAY, THE SEVENTH DAY,
00:08:37.25\00:08:39.78
THE SEVENTH DAY," THREE TIMES,
THAT SHOULD BE SIGNIFICANT.
00:08:39.81\00:08:44.29
IN THE BEGINNING OF THE BIBLE,
THE FIRST BOOK OF THE BIBLE, GOD
00:08:44.32\00:08:46.89
TALKS ABOUT HOW TO WORSHIP
HIM, WHEN TO WORSHIP HIM.
00:08:46.92\00:08:49.16
HE ESTABLISHES AND
BLESSES A TIME AND HE SAYS, "THE
00:08:49.19\00:08:52.23
SEVENTH DAY, THE
SEVENTH DAY, THE SEVENTH DAY."
00:08:52.26\00:08:54.30
YOU GET TO THE LAST BOOK OF THE
BIBLE AND THERE'S ANOTHER NUMBER
00:08:54.30\00:08:56.63
THAT'S REPEATED THREE
TIMES. WHAT'S THAT NUMBER?
00:08:56.67\00:09:00.17
THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A
NUMBER FOR THE COUNTERFEIT.
00:09:00.20\00:09:03.30
YOU GETTING THAT?
NUMBERS MEAN SOMETHING.
00:09:03.34\00:09:07.08
WE HAD SOME
QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT.
00:09:07.11\00:09:08.88
NOW, YOU MIGHT BE ASKING, "WELL,
DOUG, WE HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH
00:09:08.91\00:09:11.65
WORSHIPPING GOD
ON THE SEVENTH DAY,
00:09:11.68\00:09:13.28
BUT WHICH DAY OF OUR
WEEK IS THE SEVENTH DAY?"
00:09:13.31\00:09:16.82
LOOK AT ANY DICTIONARY THAT'S
NORMAL AND IT WILL TELL YOU,
00:09:16.85\00:09:21.92
SATURDAY,
SEVENTH DAY OF THE WEEK.
00:09:21.96\00:09:24.66
LOOK UP SUNDAY,
SUNDAY FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK.
00:09:24.69\00:09:26.93
IF YOU LOOK AT A NORMAL
CALENDAR, I KNOW IN SOME
00:09:26.96\00:09:29.56
COUNTRIES THEY
CHANGE IT FOR THE WORKWEEK.
00:09:29.60\00:09:31.93
MATTER OF FACT, THEY
HAVE COMPUTER PROGRAMS.
00:09:31.97\00:09:33.74
IF YOU HAVE MICROSOFT OUTLOOK,
YOU CAN HAVE IT START YOUR WEEK
00:09:33.77\00:09:36.87
ON MONDAY IF YOU WANT,
BUT THAT'S NOT THE FIRST DAY
00:09:36.91\00:09:38.87
OF THE WEEK. MONDAY'S
THE SECOND DAY OF THE WEEK.
00:09:38.91\00:09:41.41
AND BY THE WAY, THE DAYS OF THE
WEEK IN THE BIBLE ARE NOT NAMED
00:09:41.44\00:09:45.95
MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY,
SUNDAY, SO FORTH. THOSE ARE THE
00:09:45.98\00:09:48.65
ROMAN NAMES AFTER THE
HEAVENLY BODIES AND THE GODS.
00:09:48.68\00:09:51.52
SUNDAY WAS THE DAY OF THE SUN.
MONDAY WAS THE DAY OF THE MOON.
00:09:51.55\00:09:54.16
THURSDAY WAS THE
DAY OF-- THOR'S DAY;
00:09:54.19\00:09:56.06
THOR, GOD OF THUNDER.
ODIN WAS WEDNESDAY, ODIN'S DAY.
00:09:56.09\00:09:59.33
AND FRIDAY WAS
FRIEDA, SATURDAY WAS WHAT?
00:09:59.36\00:10:01.63
SATURN. SO
THESE ARE ROMAN NAMES.
00:10:01.66\00:10:03.43
THE BIBLE DOESN'T
USE ANY OF THOSE NAMES.
00:10:03.47\00:10:06.10
GOD'S PEOPLE HAD A NUMBER FOR
EACH OF THE DAYS OF THE WEEK.
00:10:06.13\00:10:10.47
AND THE SEVENTH DAY IS SATURDAY,
WHAT WE COMMONLY CALL SATURDAY
00:10:10.51\00:10:15.34
OR THE SABBATH. MATTER
OF FACT, "IN 105 LANGUAGES
00:10:15.38\00:10:19.28
IN THE WORLD, THE SEVENTH
DAY OF THE WEEK IS THE SABBATH."
00:10:19.31\00:10:22.75
I'VE TRAVELED ALL OVER THE WORLD
AND I FIND THIS TRUE VIRTUALLY
00:10:22.78\00:10:24.55
EVERYWHERE I GO.
QUIEN AQUI HABLAS ESPANOL?
00:10:24.59\00:10:28.66
SABADO IS WHAT DAY? SATURDAY.
00:10:28.69\00:10:31.96
IF YOU SPEAK
RUSSIAN, SUBOLTA. SHABBAT.
00:10:31.99\00:10:36.70
THAT MEANS--SO MANY DIFFERENT
LANGUAGES THAT IT TRACES BACK TO
00:10:36.73\00:10:40.64
A COMMON TONGUE WHERE
UNIVERSALLY, EVERYBODY
00:10:40.67\00:10:43.37
RECOGNIZED THE SEVENTH DAY
OF THE WEEK AS THE DAY OF REST
00:10:43.41\00:10:46.07
OR THE DAY OF REPOSE.
AND PEOPLE ARE--RIGHT NOW,
00:10:46.11\00:10:51.08
I CAN HEAR YOUR WHEELS SPINNING.
"BUT DOUG, HOW COULD IT CHANGE
00:10:51.11\00:10:54.48
WITH SO MANY--WHAT--SOMETHING
HAPPENED IN THE BIBLE?"
00:10:54.52\00:10:57.05
WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT IT.
LOOK AT A NORMAL CALENDAR.
00:10:57.09\00:10:59.85
IT WILL TELL YOU SATURDAY
IS THE SEVENTH DAY OF THE WEEK.
00:10:59.89\00:11:03.02
AND IT'S IN THE DICTIONARY.
NOW, I KNOW SOME YOU ARE
00:11:03.06\00:11:06.19
THINKING, "WELL, BUT DOUG, THERE
HAVE BEEN SO MANY CHANGES TO
00:11:06.23\00:11:08.90
THE CALENDAR THAT WE JUST
REALLY CAN'T BE SURE WHICH DAY'S
00:11:08.93\00:11:11.17
THE SEVENTH DAY ANYMORE."
THAT IS A TRICK QUESTION.
00:11:11.20\00:11:14.60
IT'S AN ILLUSION.
LET ME EXPLAIN WHY.
00:11:14.64\00:11:18.51
NO MATTER WHAT YOU
DO TO THE CALENDAR,
00:11:18.54\00:11:20.21
IT NEVER HAS ANY
AFFECT ON THE WEEKLY CYCLE.
00:11:20.24\00:11:23.35
CALENDAR HAS BEEN
ADJUSTED SEVERAL TIMES.
00:11:23.38\00:11:25.45
I THINK BACK IN 1582, WE SHIFTED
OVER TO THE GREGORIAN CALENDAR
00:11:25.48\00:11:30.09
AND THURSDAY THE 5TH OF OCTOBER
WAS FOLLOWED BY FRIDAY THE 10TH.
00:11:30.12\00:11:37.29
NOW, WAS THE
CALENDAR CHANGED? YEAH.
00:11:37.33\00:11:40.90
DID IT AFFECT THE
WEEKLY CYCLE? NOT A BIT.
00:11:40.93\00:11:43.60
BECAUSE NO MATTER WHAT YOU
DO TO THE CALENDAR TO ADJUST THE
00:11:43.63\00:11:46.23
MONTHS, YOU NEVER HAVE TO
CHANGE THE SIMPLE CYCLE OF
00:11:46.27\00:11:49.54
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. 1, 2,
3, 4, 5, 6, 7. THAT'S THE WEEK.
00:11:49.57\00:11:53.27
WHY WOULD YOU EVER CHANGE
THE WEEK TO CHANGE THE CALENDAR?
00:11:53.31\00:11:56.18
WE GET CONFUSED 'CAUSE WE SEE
THEM ON THE SAME PIECE OF PAPER.
00:11:56.21\00:11:58.65
WE THINK, "WHEN YOU CHANGE
ONE, YOU MESS UP THE OTHER."
00:11:58.68\00:12:00.28
THEY'RE COMPLETELY SEPARATE
AND DISTINCT. YOU NEVER NEED TO
00:12:00.32\00:12:03.22
CHANGE THE WEEK WHEN YOU CHANGE
THE CALENDAR. THE CYCLE HAS BEEN
00:12:03.25\00:12:06.86
IN PERFECT CONTINUITY ALL
THE WAY BACK AS FAR AS RECORDED
00:12:06.89\00:12:10.06
HISTORY. MATTER OF FACT,
SOMEBODY WROTE A LETTER TO
00:12:10.09\00:12:12.53
THE U.S. NAVEL OBSERVATORY
AND HERE'S ACTUAL QUOTE FROM IT
00:12:12.56\00:12:15.03
REGARDING THE QUESTION ABOUT THE
WEEKLY CYCLE AND ITS CONTINUITY.
00:12:15.06\00:12:19.20
IT SAYS, "WE HAVE HAD OCCASION
TO INVESTIGATE THE RESULTS OF
00:12:19.23\00:12:22.00
THE WORKS OF SPECIALISTS IN
CHRONOLOGY, AND WE HAVE NEVER
00:12:22.04\00:12:25.37
FOUND ONE OF THEM THAT HAS EVER
HAD THE SLIGHTEST DOUBT ABOUT
00:12:25.41\00:12:29.58
THE CONTINUITY OF THE WEEKLY
CYCLE SINCE LONG BEFORE THE
00:12:29.61\00:12:33.31
CHRISTIAN ERA."
THERE'S NEVER BEEN A CHANGE
00:12:33.35\00:12:35.55
IN THE CALENDAR THAT AFFECTS
THE WEEKLY CYCLE. THAT'S A MYTH.
00:12:35.58\00:12:38.85
YOU HEAR SOMETHING OFTEN ENOUGH
AND PEOPLE ARE INCLINED TO
00:12:38.89\00:12:42.22
BELIEVE IT, BUT
IT'S JUST NOT TRUE.
00:12:42.26\00:12:44.13
NOW, LET ME SHARE WITH YOU
WHY I THINK THIS IS SO IMPORTANT
00:12:44.16\00:12:47.03
FOR US TO UNDERSTAND.
HOW MANY DAYS DID GOD OCCUPY
00:12:47.03\00:12:50.37
IN CREATING THE WORLD? SIX DAYS.
00:12:50.40\00:12:53.40
HOW MANY DAYS IN THE WEEK? WHY?
00:12:53.44\00:12:56.44
BECAUSE GOD CREATED ANOTHER
DAY AND WHAT DID HE MAKE ON THAT
00:12:56.47\00:12:59.54
DAY? HE MADE A
PERIOD OF TIME FOR US
00:12:59.57\00:13:04.61
TO DEVELOP A LOVE RELATIONSHIP.
IF YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M ABOUT
00:13:04.65\00:13:08.42
TO SAY, ALL OF
THIS WILL JUST CLICK.
00:13:08.45\00:13:10.82
THE PURPOSE OF THE SABBATH
IS FOR A LOVE RELATIONSHIP WITH
00:13:10.85\00:13:15.36
GOD. THAT'S WHY
THE DEVIL HATES IT.
00:13:15.39\00:13:18.83
YOU SEE, YOU AND I
EXIST IN SOMETHING,
00:13:18.86\00:13:21.10
A DIMENSION CALLED TIME. WE LIVE
IN TIME. IT'S LIKE BEN FRANKLIN
00:13:21.13\00:13:24.90
SAID, "TIME IS THE
STUFF THAT LIFE IS MADE OF."
00:13:24.93\00:13:28.97
AND WHEN GOD CREATED ANOTHER DAY
AND SAID, "YOU'VE GOT THESE DAYS
00:13:29.00\00:13:32.87
TO WORK IN THE GARDEN
TO DRESS AND DO YOUR THING.
00:13:32.91\00:13:35.44
BUT THIS DAY, WE ARE
TO WALK AND TALK TOGETHER.
00:13:35.48\00:13:38.41
WE'RE TO DEVELOP
OUR LOVE RELATIONSHIP."
00:13:38.45\00:13:40.92
GOD WANTS TO BE WITH US.
HE WANTS TO HAVE THIS LOVE
00:13:40.95\00:13:43.89
RELATIONSHIP WITH US.
WHAT HAPPENS IN MARRIAGES WHERE
00:13:43.92\00:13:47.26
THERE'S NOT QUALITY TIME?
DOES THE LOVE RELATIONSHIP START
00:13:47.29\00:13:51.13
TO GET STRAINED?
STARTS TO GET THIN?
00:13:51.16\00:13:53.56
AND YOU CAN ALWAYS HEAR, "WELL,
WE'VE BEEN GROWING APART."
00:13:53.60\00:13:55.83
YOU CAN TELL WHEN THAT HAPPENS,
THEY'RE NOT SPENDING TIME
00:13:55.86\00:13:57.53
TOGETHER AND THAT'S
WHY THEY'RE GROWING APART.
00:13:57.57\00:13:59.63
IT NOT ONLY HAPPENS IN MARRIAGE
RELATIONSHIPS, IT HAPPENS
00:13:59.67\00:14:01.97
BETWEEN PARENTS AND CHILDREN,
FRIENDS STOP SPENDING TIME
00:14:02.00\00:14:05.54
TOGETHER AND THEIR
FRIENDSHIP STARTS TO EVAPORATE.
00:14:05.57\00:14:08.01
RELATIONSHIPS ARE BUILT IN
TIME. AND SO WHAT GOD SAID IS,
00:14:08.04\00:14:12.11
"I WANT," WE USE THIS
WORD, "QUALITY TIME WITH YOU."
00:14:12.15\00:14:15.68
THE SABBATH IS ALL ABOUT
HOLY QUALITY TIME FOR OUR
00:14:15.72\00:14:18.82
RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD AND
TO SHOW THAT HE IS OUR GOD.
00:14:18.85\00:14:22.32
SEE, EVERY SABBATH, IT'S A
MEMORIAL THAT HE IS THE CREATOR.
00:14:22.36\00:14:26.16
AND LET ME ASK YOU, FRIENDS,
ISN'T IT TRUE THAT THE CREATION
00:14:26.19\00:14:30.30
IS OBLIGATED TO THE CREATOR?
EVERY SABBATH IS TO REMIND US
00:14:30.33\00:14:35.67
THAT HE IS THE BOSS, THAT HE
IS GOD. WE ARE THE CREATURES.
00:14:35.70\00:14:39.64
HE'S THE CREATOR AND
WE'RE TO WORSHIP HIM.
00:14:39.67\00:14:41.61
THE DEVIL HATES THAT
CONCEPT AND SO HE'S BEEN TRYING
00:14:41.64\00:14:45.48
TO DESTROY THE RELATIONSHIP
BY DESTROYING THE SABBATH TIME.
00:14:45.51\00:14:49.05
AND I THINK THAT MOST OF US WILL
FREELY ADMIT, EVEN THOSE WHO
00:14:49.08\00:14:52.09
KEEP THE FIRST DAY OF THE
WEEK AS THE SABBATH, VERY RARELY
00:14:52.12\00:14:54.19
DO THEY DEEP IT HOLY.
AND I SHOULD ADD, I, AGAIN,
00:14:54.22\00:14:59.46
I WANT TO BE ABLE TO
RELATE TO VIRTUALLY EVERYBODY.
00:14:59.49\00:15:02.23
I HAVE PREACHED IN
POSSIBLY HUNDREDS OF
00:15:02.26\00:15:04.43
DIFFERENT DENOMINATIONS,
IN THEIR CHURCHES.
00:15:04.47\00:15:06.33
I USED TO TEACH
METHODIST SUNDAY SCHOOL.
00:15:06.37\00:15:08.47
I PREACHED IN BAPTIST CHURCHES.
I PREACHED IN CHURCH OF CHRIST.
00:15:08.50\00:15:11.94
IT'S HARD TO GET IN THERE
IF YOU'RE NOT A MEMBER, I HAVE.
00:15:11.97\00:15:14.54
I PREACHED IN EPISCOPAL
CHURCHES, IN FOUR SQUARE,
00:15:14.58\00:15:17.48
IN NAZARENE, ASSEMBLY OF GOD.
00:15:17.51\00:15:18.95
AND I CAN JUST GO
AND ON DOWN THE LINE.
00:15:18.98\00:15:20.15
GODLY PEOPLE, I'VE GOT FRIENDS
IN MANY DIFFERENT PERSUASIONS
00:15:20.18\00:15:23.69
AND THERE'S NO QUESTION
ABOUT THAT. BUT I'VE ACTUALLY
00:15:23.72\00:15:25.89
GOTTEN TO THE DOOR AFTER THE
SERMON AND HAD THEM SAY, "WHY'D
00:15:25.92\00:15:28.46
YOU GO SO LONG? THE
FOOTBALL GAME'S STARTING." OR
00:15:28.49\00:15:31.56
"THERE'S A SALE AT THE MALL." OR
"I'VE GOTTA GO MOW MY LAWN." AND
00:15:31.59\00:15:34.86
VERY FEW PEOPLE EVEN KEEP SUNDAY
AS A HOLY DAY. AM I RIGHT?
00:15:34.93\00:15:39.53
AND BOY, DO WE NEED, WE NEED
THAT TIME OF REST NOW, DON'T WE?
00:15:39.57\00:15:43.91
AND SO, WHEN I COVER THE
SUBJECT, I'M NOT APOLOGETIC
00:15:43.94\00:15:46.98
AT ALL BECAUSE A CHRISTIAN
IS A FOLLOWER OF CHRIST AND THE
00:15:47.01\00:15:50.45
EXAMPLE OF CHRIST WAS EVERY
SABBATH DAY HE KEPT, HE WENT, HE
00:15:50.48\00:15:55.28
READ THE BIBLE, HE WORSHIPED.
IT'S SLOWLY BEEN CHANGED BY MAN,
00:15:55.32\00:15:59.49
NOT BY GOD, OVER TIME.
WE'RE GONNA GET MORE TO THAT.
00:15:59.52\00:16:02.16
SOME THINK THE SABBATH WAS
CREATED AT MOUNT SINAI WHEN
00:16:02.19\00:16:05.76
MOSES GAVE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS,
ANOTHER MYTH. READ YOUR BIBLES.
00:16:05.79\00:16:08.93
LOOK IN EXODUS 16, WHEN
THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL CAME OUT
00:16:08.96\00:16:11.90
OF EGYPT BEFORE THEY
EVER GOT TO MOUNT SINAI,
00:16:11.93\00:16:15.04
THEY RAN OUT OF FOOD.
00:16:15.07\00:16:16.74
YOU CAN READ IN CHAPTER 16 AND
THEY WERE TOLD TO GATHER MANNA.
00:16:16.77\00:16:21.98
AND THEY WOULD GATHER MANNA AND
IT SAYS, "AND MOSES SAID, EAT
00:16:22.01\00:16:25.88
THAT TODAY FOR TODAY IS
THE SABBATH UNTO THE LORD."
00:16:25.91\00:16:29.15
THE MANNA FELL DOWN
HOW MANY DAYS A WEEK?
00:16:29.18\00:16:33.15
SIX DAYS A WEEK, THE MANNA FELL.
THE SABBATH, THERE WAS NONE.
00:16:33.19\00:16:37.29
GOD WAS REINFORCING IT AND SOME
OF THEM WENT OUT LOOKING FOR
00:16:37.33\00:16:39.86
MANNA AND HE SAID, "HOW
LONG WILL YOU REFUSE TO KEEP MY
00:16:39.89\00:16:42.00
COMMANDMENTS?"
BEFORE THEY EVER GOT TO
00:16:42.03\00:16:44.03
MOUNT SINAI GOD SAID THAT THE
SABBATH WAS HOLY AND THEY WERE
00:16:44.07\00:16:47.00
TO KEEP IT HOLY AND IT WAS
ONE OF HIS LAWS, NOT THEIR LAWS.
00:16:47.04\00:16:51.34
MATTER OF FACT, MOSES HAD
NOT UTTERED IT PRIOR TO THAT
00:16:51.37\00:16:53.48
WHICH MAKES US ASSUME THAT
IT WAS ALREADY IN EXISTENCE.
00:16:53.51\00:16:56.58
AND SO, IT'S THE SABBATH OF
THE LORD, NOT THE SABBATH OF THE
00:16:56.61\00:17:00.45
JEWS. EXODUS 16 IS WHERE
YOU GOT THIS MANNA EXPERIENCE.
00:17:00.48\00:17:04.59
EXODUS 20 IS WHERE YOU
FIND THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
00:17:04.62\00:17:08.36
BEING SPOKEN BY THE LAW.
NOW, I WANT TO BE GRACIOUS
00:17:08.39\00:17:11.03
BECAUSE WHEN I FIRST HEARD THESE
THINGS, IF YOU'RE AT ALL LIKE
00:17:11.06\00:17:12.83
ME--AND IF I OFFEND
YOU TONIGHT, FORGIVE ME.
00:17:12.86\00:17:15.26
I DON'T WANT TO DO THAT.
00:17:15.30\00:17:16.23
I GET WORKED UP BECAUSE
WHEN I FIRST HEARD THIS,
00:17:16.26\00:17:18.33
I WAS VERY
DISTURBED. I FELT DECEIVED.
00:17:18.37\00:17:21.34
FOR ONE THING, I
HAD A JEWISH BACKGROUND.
00:17:21.37\00:17:24.71
YOU THINK I WOULD HAVE KNOWN
BETTER. AND AFTER I BECAME A
00:17:24.74\00:17:27.01
CHRISTIAN, HERE I AM
GOING TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY.
00:17:27.04\00:17:29.38
AND WHEN I STARTED ASKING AROUND
ABOUT WHY, WHEN I FIRST HAD THIS
00:17:29.41\00:17:32.81
BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION, I WENT
TO SOME OF THE PASTORS AND SAID,
00:17:32.85\00:17:35.58
"WHY DO WE GO TO CHURCH ON
SUNDAY?" YOU KNOW WHAT ENDED UP
00:17:35.62\00:17:37.65
CONVINCING ME, WAS THE
DIFFERENT PASTORS I TALKED TO.
00:17:37.69\00:17:41.19
I'D ASK TEN DIFFERENT PASTORS
WHY WE WORSHIP ON THE FIRST DAY
00:17:41.22\00:17:44.09
OF THE WEEK, I'D GET
ELEVEN DIFFERENT ANSWERS.
00:17:44.13\00:17:46.46
THEY ALL
DISAGREED WITH EACH OTHER.
00:17:46.49\00:17:48.23
THE MOST COMMON ONES WERE,
"WELL, WE WORSHIP ON THE FIRST
00:17:48.26\00:17:51.30
DAY OF THE WEEK BECAUSE
THAT'S THE DAY THAT JESUS ROSE
00:17:51.33\00:17:53.94
AND IT'S THE NEW
SABBATH." AND I'D SAY, "WHERE'S
00:17:53.97\00:17:56.10
THE COMMANDMENT THAT
SAYS IT'S THE NEW SABBATH?"
00:17:56.14\00:17:58.87
WELL, THEY'D SAY, "THERE'S
REALLY NO EXPLICIT COMMANDMENT
00:17:58.91\00:18:01.34
THAT SAYS IT, BUT WE DO HAVE,
YOU KNOW, THE EXAMPLE IN THE
00:18:01.38\00:18:04.48
BIBLE OF JESUS RISING AND
WE CAN FIND WHERE THE DISCIPLES
00:18:04.51\00:18:06.95
MET ON THE FIRST
DAY OF THE WEEK."
00:18:06.98\00:18:08.95
WELL, WE CAN ALSO FIND
WHERE THEY MET ON THURSDAY.
00:18:08.98\00:18:11.25
YOU CAN FIND WHERE THEY
MET ON MANY DAYS OF WEEK.
00:18:11.29\00:18:13.12
DOES THAT MAKE IT A
NEW SABBATH COMMAND?
00:18:13.15\00:18:15.49
AND I'D SAY, "WELL, THAT
DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME."
00:18:15.52\00:18:18.43
I TALKED TO ANOTHER PASTOR
AND SAID, "WELL, DOUG, WE'RE NOT
00:18:18.46\00:18:21.36
UNDER THE LAW NOW,
WE'RE UNDER GRACE."
00:18:21.40\00:18:23.50
I SAID, "WELL, DOES GOD WANT
US TO KEEP THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
00:18:23.53\00:18:25.97
OR NOT?" AND I
REMEMBER ONE TIME A GUY
00:18:26.00\00:18:28.30
ACTUALLY
INTERRUPTED A MEETING LIKE THIS.
00:18:28.34\00:18:30.84
HE SAID, "PASTOR DOUG, YOU'RE
PUTTING THESE PEOPLE UNDER
00:18:30.87\00:18:33.24
BONDAGE. YOU'RE PREACHING
THE LAW. ITS WORK'S ORIENTED."
00:18:33.27\00:18:38.31
I SAID, "NOW WAIT A SECOND
NOW." I SAID, "I'M TALKING ABOUT
00:18:38.35\00:18:40.85
REST. YOU'RE TELLING THEM NOT TO
REST. YOU'RE WORK'S ORIENTED."
00:18:40.88\00:18:45.79
AND THEN I SAID,
"YOU TELL ME SOMETHING.
00:18:45.82\00:18:47.99
ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KEEP
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OR NOT?"
00:18:48.02\00:18:50.46
AND HIS FACE WAS TURNING RED
BECAUSE HE WAS A LITTLE NERVOUS
00:18:50.49\00:18:52.89
ABOUT INTERRUPTING THE
SEMINAR AND HE SAID, "NO."
00:18:52.93\00:18:56.56
AND THEN HE REALIZED THAT
SOUNDED BAD FOR A PREACHER TO
00:18:56.60\00:18:58.87
SAY YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED
TO KEEP THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:18:58.90\00:19:00.87
BECAUSE JUST THINK ABOUT THAT,
IS IT OKAY TO KILL AND LIE?
00:19:00.90\00:19:03.17
AND HE SAID, "YES," BUT
THEN HE KNEW THAT WOULD INCLUDE
00:19:03.20\00:19:06.37
THE FOURTH. AND THEN
HE SAID, "NINE OF THEM."
00:19:06.41\00:19:11.11
AND SO I SAID, "SO YOU'RE
TELLING ME THE ONE COMMANDMENT
00:19:11.15\00:19:14.32
GOD WANTS US TO FORGET IS
THE ONLY COMMANDMENT THAT BEGINS
00:19:14.35\00:19:17.35
WITH THE WORD, 'REMEMBER?'"
THAT DIDN'T MAKE SENSE.
00:19:17.39\00:19:23.63
I MET ANOTHER
PASTOR, HE'S VERY CREATIVE.
00:19:23.66\00:19:25.29
HE SAID, "PASTOR
DOUG, I'VE GOT YOUR ANSWER."
00:19:25.33\00:19:27.40
HE SAID, "BACK IN THE DAYS
OF JOSHUA, HE PRAYED AND THE SUN
00:19:27.40\00:19:30.47
STOOD STILL,
SATURDAY TURNED INTO SUNDAY."
00:19:30.50\00:19:32.87
WELL, THAT'S CREATIVE.
THE PROBLEM WAS, NOBODY DID
00:19:32.90\00:19:35.80
ANYTHING ABOUT IT FOR
ANOTHER THOUSAND YEARS.
00:19:35.84\00:19:38.57
AND SO I HEARD SO MANY DIFFERENT
THINGS, IT STARTED SOUNDING VERY
00:19:38.61\00:19:41.64
PECULIAR TO ME THAT THEY
COULDN'T GET THIS TOGETHER.
00:19:41.68\00:19:46.15
THE BIBLE TELLS US THE
BEAST POWER, AS I'VE QUOTED,
00:19:46.18\00:19:48.92
DANIEL 7:25, WOULD THINK
TO CHANGE TIMES AND LAWS.
00:19:48.95\00:19:52.72
BUT GOD'S
SABBATH HASN'T CHANGED.
00:19:52.75\00:19:55.79
JESUS CHRIST IS THE SAME
YESTERDAY, TODAY AND FOREVER.
00:19:55.82\00:20:01.13
EVERY WORD OF
GOD, PROVERBS 30:5-6,
00:20:01.16\00:20:04.60
"EVERY WORD OF GOD IS PURE--
ADD THOU NOT TO HIS WORDS,
00:20:04.63\00:20:07.84
LEST HE REPROVE THEE,
AND THOU BE FOUND A LIAR."
00:20:07.87\00:20:10.81
YOU KNOW ONE REASON I TEACH THIS
AND I BELIEVE IT IS BECAUSE I DO
00:20:10.84\00:20:13.58
NOT EVER HAVE TO BE EMBARRASSED
ABOUT WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ON
00:20:13.61\00:20:16.34
THIS SUBJECT.
HEBREWS 4:9, IT SAYS,
00:20:16.38\00:20:20.12
"THERE REMAINS THEREFORE A
REST TO THE PEOPLE OF GOD."
00:20:20.15\00:20:23.55
AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE GREEK
FOR THAT WORD, IT'S SABBITISMOS,
00:20:23.59\00:20:26.25
WHICH MEANS THE
KEEPING OF A SABBATH.
00:20:26.29\00:20:28.46
HERE YOU ARE IN THE NEW
TESTAMENT, IT SAYS, "THERE
00:20:28.49\00:20:30.29
REMAINS THE KEEPING OF A
SABBATH FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD."
00:20:30.33\00:20:33.06
AND THINK ABOUT THIS FOR A
MOMENT, TEN COMMANDMENTS, WHEN
00:20:33.09\00:20:36.63
GOD DELIVERS THEM TO HIS PEOPLE,
SPEAKS THEM FROM A MOUNTAIN TOP
00:20:36.67\00:20:42.27
SO THE FOLKS ARE TERRIFIED FOR
THEIR LIVES, THUNDERING WITH HIS
00:20:42.30\00:20:45.01
OWN VOCAL CORDS. GOD
SPEAKING, NOT TO ONE PERSON,
00:20:45.04\00:20:47.74
TO A WHOLE NATION.
WRITES IT IN STONE, ARC WELDING
00:20:47.78\00:20:51.85
WITH HIS FINGERS IN GRANITE.
DOES EVERYTHING HE CAN TO SHOW
00:20:51.88\00:20:56.99
THAT THIS IS LAW. THEY
OBSERVE IT FOR CENTURIES.
00:20:57.02\00:21:00.22
IF GOD WAS GOING TO CHANGE
SOMETHING THAT HE ESTABLISHED
00:21:00.26\00:21:03.96
WITH SUCH MAJESTY, WOULDN'T
IT BE CLEAR IN THE BIBLE?
00:21:03.99\00:21:08.13
WOULD THERE BE ALL THIS NEBULOUS
WONDERING ABOUT WHERE IT IS?
00:21:08.16\00:21:11.27
IF I SHOULD TELL YOU RIGHT NOW,
THEY'VE CHANGED THE SPEED LIMIT
00:21:11.30\00:21:14.34
ON THE BELTWAY AROUND
D.C. IT'S NOW 90 MILES AN HOUR.
00:21:14.37\00:21:18.97
AND NOT ONLY THAT, THEY'VE
REVERSED THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC SO
00:21:19.01\00:21:23.04
NOW WE'RE GONNA DRIVE LIKE THEY
DO IN ENGLAND, OTHER SIDE OF
00:21:23.08\00:21:25.65
THE ROAD.
ANYONE HERE BELIEVE ME?
00:21:25.68\00:21:28.58
YOU KNOW WHY YOU DON'T
BELIEVE ME? IT'S ABSURD THAT THE
00:21:28.62\00:21:31.89
GOVERNMENT WOULD CHANGE A
LAW THAT HAS BEEN SO ENTRENCHED
00:21:31.92\00:21:35.29
THAT WOULD AFFECT PEOPLE'S
LIVES SO RADICALLY WITHOUT VERY
00:21:35.32\00:21:37.89
THOROUGHLY BROADCASTING,
TRUMPETING, THAT CHANGE.
00:21:37.93\00:21:43.83
IF GOD WAS GONNA CHANGE ONE OF
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, ESPECIALLY
00:21:43.87\00:21:47.17
THE ONE THAT BEGINS WITH
THE WORD, "REMEMBER," DON'T YOU
00:21:47.20\00:21:51.01
THINK THAT YOU WOULD REALLY
HEAR A DEAFENING ROAR IN THE
00:21:51.04\00:21:53.94
NEW TESTAMENT ON THAT SUBJECT?
00:21:53.98\00:21:56.21
BUT INSTEAD THERE'S A
DEAFENING SILENCE. YOU KNOW WHY?
00:21:56.24\00:21:58.85
WE MUST ASSUME,
IT DIDN'T CHANGE.
00:21:58.88\00:22:01.15
IT WAS SO OBVIOUS ALL THROUGH
THE BIBLE THAT IT WAS STILL
00:22:01.18\00:22:03.75
INTACT. "DID THE
APOSTLES KEEP THE SABBATH DAY?"
00:22:03.79\00:22:08.52
ANSWER, "AND PAUL, AS HIS MANNER
WAS, HE WENT UNTO THEM, THREE
00:22:08.56\00:22:13.43
SABBATH DAYS AND HE
REASONED WITH THEM OUT OF THE
00:22:13.46\00:22:15.53
SCRIPTURES." EVERY
SABBATH THEY WERE PREACHING.
00:22:15.56\00:22:18.63
MATTER OF FACT, ACTS 18:4, "HE
REASONED IN THE SYNAGOGUE EVERY
00:22:18.67\00:22:21.97
SABBATH DAY, AND
PERSUADED JEWS AND GREEKS."
00:22:22.00\00:22:25.11
IT WASN'T JUST THE
JEWS; JEWS AND GREEKS.
00:22:25.14\00:22:29.44
IF GOD'S PEOPLE WERE NOT GOING
TO BE KEEPING THE SABBATH IN
00:22:29.48\00:22:32.55
THE LAST DAYS, THEN WHY
IN MATTHEW 24, WHERE JESUS IS
00:22:32.58\00:22:35.38
TALKING ABOUT THE END OF THE
WORLD, DID HE SAY VERY CLEARLY,
00:22:35.42\00:22:39.45
"PRAY YE THAT YOU'RE
FLIGHT BE NOT IN THE WINTER,
00:22:39.49\00:22:41.82
NEITHER ON THE SABBATH DAY."
THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD TIME
00:22:41.86\00:22:44.49
FOR JESUS TO SAY, "WELL, DON'T
WORRY ABOUT THE SABBATH DAY."
00:22:44.53\00:22:47.10
BUT HE SAID, "PRAY THAT YOU
WON'T HAVE TO FLEE FOR YOUR LIFE
00:22:47.13\00:22:49.23
ON THIS HOLY DAY." IT'S
VERY CLEAR THAT THE LORD
00:22:49.26\00:22:51.87
UNDERSTOOD HIS PEOPLE
WILL STILL BE KEEPING HIS DAY.
00:22:51.90\00:22:55.07
FRIENDS, THIS IS A MUCH MORE
IMPORTANT SUBJECT IN CONNECTION
00:22:55.10\00:22:58.51
WITH PROPHECY THAN YOU THINK
BECAUSE IN THE LAST DAYS WHEN
00:22:58.54\00:23:02.18
THE LORD RETURNS, IT SAYS THAT
HE IS COMING FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE
00:23:02.21\00:23:06.01
OBEDIENT. YOU CAN
READ THIS--MATTER OF
00:23:06.05\00:23:08.15
FACT, I THINK THIS IS
ONE OF MY NEXT SLIDES.
00:23:08.18\00:23:10.62
HEBREWS 4:5, THE PROMISE
IS: WE WILL ENTER INTO HIS REST.
00:23:10.65\00:23:15.89
AND THEN FURTHERMORE, HE
TELLS US IN REVELATION 12:17,
00:23:15.92\00:23:20.33
WHO IS THE DRAGON ANGRY
AT? THIS IS IN THE LAST DAYS.
00:23:20.36\00:23:23.97
THE DRAGON IS WHO? IS
WROTH. WHAT DOES WROTH MEAN?
00:23:24.00\00:23:28.94
THAT'S KING JAMES
FOR INFURIATED, ENRAGED.
00:23:28.97\00:23:31.27
WITH WHO? THE WOMAN IS WHO?
IS THIS A GOOD WOMAN OR BAD?
00:23:31.31\00:23:35.71
TRUE CHURCH OR FALSE? THE VERY
FACT THE DRAGON IS ANGRY AT HER
00:23:35.74\00:23:39.88
IS A GOOD SIGN. SHE MUST
BE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT?
00:23:39.91\00:23:42.08
WHO IS HE ANGRY AT? THE WOMAN
AND THE REMNANT OF HER SEED.
00:23:42.12\00:23:46.82
THAT MEANS THE REMAINDER OF
HER DESCENDANTS, HER CHILDREN.
00:23:46.86\00:23:50.16
WHAT IS THE
IDENTIFYING CHARACTERISTIC?
00:23:50.19\00:23:51.96
"THAT KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS
OF GOD AND HAVE THE TESTIMONY OF
00:23:51.99\00:23:56.40
JESUS CHRIST." GOD
WANTS A PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT
00:23:56.43\00:23:59.00
ONLY HEARERS BUT
DOERS OF HIS WORD.
00:23:59.03\00:24:01.64
WOULD THAT INCLUDE ALL
THE COMMANDMENTS? ALL TEN?
00:24:01.67\00:24:06.71
AGAIN, REVELATION 14:12,
ANOTHER CORRESPONDING PASSAGE.
00:24:06.74\00:24:11.75
"HERE IS THE PATIENCE OF THE
SAINTS: HERE ARE THEY THAT KEEP
00:24:11.78\00:24:15.62
THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD,"
AND HAVE THE FAITH OF JESUS.
00:24:15.65\00:24:20.36
AND THEN AGAIN REVELATION 22:14,
THREE TIMES IN REVELATION IT
00:24:20.39\00:24:23.73
IDENTIFIES WHO THE SAVED ARE.
"BLESSED ARE THEY THAT DO HIS
00:24:23.76\00:24:27.46
COMMANDMENTS, THAT THEY
MIGHT HAVE A RIGHT TO THE
00:24:27.50\00:24:29.70
TREE OF LIFE, AND MAY ENTER IN
THROUGH THE GATES OF THE CITY."
00:24:29.73\00:24:33.23
WHAT DO YOU THINK,
FRIENDS, IS THIS SOMETHING
00:24:33.27\00:24:34.90
THAT'S IMPORTANT TO THE LORD?
I HOPE IT'S IMPORTANT TO YOU.
