TODAY'S
PRESENTATION IS AN EXCERPT FROM
00:00:47.81\00:00:49.61
"THE MOST AMAZING
PROPHECIES" VIDEO SERIES.
00:00:49.64\00:00:57.59
>> ALL OVER THE
WORLD, WE HAVE A 7-DAY WEEK.
00:00:57.62\00:01:01.59
WHAT IN THE SUN OR MOON OR
STARS, WHAT IN ASTRONOMY WOULD
00:01:01.62\00:01:06.70
GIVE US A 7-DAY
WEEK? THERE IS NOTHING.
00:01:06.73\00:01:11.80
THE ONLY PLACE OUR WORLD THAT
ALL RECOGNIZES THE 7-DAY WEEK
00:01:11.83\00:01:15.77
CAN TRACE IT TO IS GENESIS 1.
AND YET, WHAT'S INTERESTING IS
00:01:15.80\00:01:23.38
EVEN WHEN MANY OF THE SETTLERS
CAME ACROSS THE ATLANTIC AND
00:01:23.41\00:01:27.58
BEGAN TO MEET THE NATIVE
GROUPS IN NORTH AMERICA HAD
00:01:27.62\00:01:30.49
A 7-DAY WEEK.
WHERE DOES IT COME FROM?
00:01:30.52\00:01:34.52
NOW I THINK YOU'LL FIND IT
VERY INTERESTING HOW THIS TIES
00:01:34.56\00:01:37.29
INTO PROPHECY.
REVELATION 13, YOU ALL KNOW
00:01:37.33\00:01:41.56
THAT CHAPTER, THAT'S THE
ONE THAT TALKS ABOUT THE MARK OF
00:01:41.60\00:01:44.07
THE BEAST, AND THE
NUMBER 666. IT TELLS US THERE,
00:01:44.10\00:01:47.47
"HE WAS GRANTED POWER--"
THIS IS THE BEAST POWER.
00:01:47.50\00:01:50.41
"TO GIVE BREATH TO THE IMAGE
OF THE BEAST, THAT THE IMAGE OF
00:01:50.44\00:01:53.88
THE BEAST SHOULD BOTH CAUSE
AS MANY AS WOULD NOT WORSHIP
00:01:53.91\00:01:57.21
THE IMAGE OF THE
BEAST TO BE KILLED."
00:01:57.25\00:01:59.81
NOW THIS IS THE SECOND
BEAST TELLING THOSE WHO DO NOT
00:01:59.85\00:02:02.02
WORSHIP THE FIRST BEAST
THAT IF THEY DON'T WORSHIP
00:02:02.05\00:02:04.29
THE WAY THEY'RE
TOLD, THEY'LL BE KILLED.
00:02:04.32\00:02:05.99
YOU CAN'T HARDLY READ
REVELATION 13, IF YOU KNOW YOUR
00:02:06.02\00:02:09.59
BIBLE WITHOUT SEEING
SHADOWS AND ECHOES, OF DANIEL 3.
00:02:09.62\00:02:15.96
NOW YOU REMEMBER
WHEN WE STUDIED DANIEL 2.
00:02:16.00\00:02:19.80
KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR HAD
THAT DREAM OF THE METALLIC IMAGE
00:02:19.83\00:02:22.97
AND WHAT WAS HE TOLD
ABOUT THE HEAD OF GOLD?
00:02:23.00\00:02:26.61
DANIEL SAID, "YOU," MEANING
NEBUCHADNEZZAR IN BABYLON,
00:02:26.64\00:02:29.68
"YOU ARE THE HEAD OF GOLD."
00:02:29.71\00:02:31.38
AND THAT REALLY FLATTERED
HIS EGO BUT IT TROUBLED HIM AS
00:02:31.41\00:02:35.28
THE PROPHECY CONTINUED BECAUSE
DANIEL SAID, "BUT AFTER YOU
00:02:35.32\00:02:39.62
ANOTHER KINGDOM SHALL
ARISE INFERIOR TO YOURS."
00:02:39.65\00:02:43.63
HE DIDN'T WANT THERE
TO BE ANOTHER KINGDOM.
00:02:43.66\00:02:45.39
HE WANTED BABYLON TO LAST
FOREVER. IT WAS INSCRIBED ON
00:02:45.43\00:02:47.76
VIRTUALLY EVERY BRICK IN ANCIENT
BABYLON. HE'D WORKED SO HARD TO
00:02:47.83\00:02:52.27
BUILD IT UP, HE DIDN'T WANT
TO SEE IT FALL INTO ONE ELSE'S
00:02:52.30\00:02:54.47
HANDS OR BE REPLACED
AND THAT TROUBLED HIM.
00:02:54.50\00:02:59.31
SO MANY SCHOLARS SURMISE
THAT NEBUCHADNEZZAR THOUGHT TO
00:02:59.34\00:03:03.61
HIMSELF, "IF THAT HEAD OF GOLD
REPRESENTS BABYLON, WHAT IF I
00:03:03.65\00:03:08.82
MAKE AN IMAGE, A GREAT IMAGE
LIKE THE ONE I SAW IN MY DREAM
00:03:08.85\00:03:11.99
EXCEPT MAKE IT ALL GOLD,
MAYBE I CAN SOMEHOW CHANGE
00:03:12.02\00:03:16.62
THE PROPHECY OF THE GODS AND
FRUSTRATE THAT PROPHECY SO THAT
00:03:16.66\00:03:20.70
BABYLON WILL LAST FOREVER."
SO NEBUCHADNEZZAR DID THAT.
00:03:20.73\00:03:24.67
YOU CAN READ THIS IN THE
PROPHECY THERE OF DANIEL 3:1,
00:03:24.70\00:03:28.77
"NEBUCHADNEZZAR THE KING MADE
AN IMAGE OF GOLD, WHOSE HEIGHT
00:03:28.80\00:03:32.41
WAS SIXTY CUBITS AND
ITS WIDTH WAS SIX CUBITS.
00:03:32.44\00:03:37.01
AND HE SET IT UP IN THE PLAIN
OF DURA, IN THE PROVINCE OF
00:03:37.05\00:03:39.58
BABYLON." NOW
BEFORE I GO ANY FARTHER, A
00:03:39.61\00:03:43.02
BIBLE TEACHER FROM THIS CAMPUS,
YEARS AGO TAUGHT ME SOMETHING.
00:03:43.05\00:03:48.22
HE SAID, IN HEBREW, IF IT TELLS
YOU THE HEIGHT AND THE WIDTH, IF
00:03:48.26\00:03:51.99
IT DOESN'T TELL YOU THE
DEPTH IT'S USUALLY THE SAME AS
00:03:52.03\00:03:54.50
THE WIDTH, MEANING THAT IMAGE
THAT NEBUCHADNEZZAR BUILT WAS
00:03:54.56\00:03:59.37
60 BY 6 BY 6.
THAT SOUND FAMILIAR?
00:03:59.40\00:04:05.07
AND THEY'RE ALL TOLD TO BOW
DOWN TO THAT IMAGE OR BE KILLED.
00:04:05.11\00:04:09.58
DOES THAT SOUND
LIKE REVELATION TO YOU?
00:04:09.61\00:04:12.38
HE'S SAYING, "WORSHIP THE WAY
I TELL YOU TO WORSHIP OR DIE."
00:04:12.41\00:04:17.59
AND HE GOES ON, HE MADE A
DECREE, DANIEL 3:6, "WHOEVER
00:04:17.62\00:04:22.49
DOESN'T FALL DOWN AND WORSHIP
THE SAME HOUR SHALL BE CAST
00:04:22.52\00:04:25.83
INTO THE MIDST OF A BURNING,
FIERY FURNACE." WELL, THERE WAS
00:04:25.86\00:04:29.80
ONE LITTLE PROBLEM, AMONG
THE GREAT LEADERS OF HIS EMPIRE
00:04:29.83\00:04:33.47
THAT HE INVITED TO THE
INAUGURATION OF THIS NEW IMAGE
00:04:33.50\00:04:35.97
AND THIS WORSHIP, WERE
THREE VERY LOYAL HEBREWS.
00:04:36.00\00:04:41.01
DO YOU REMEMBER HANANIAH,
MISHAEL, AZARIAH, SOMETIMES
00:04:41.04\00:04:43.28
KNOWN AS SHADRACH,
MESHACH AND ABEDNEGO?
00:04:43.31\00:04:45.58
THOSE WERE THEIR
BABYLONIAN NAMES.
00:04:45.61\00:04:48.58
WHEN THE MUSIC PLAYED
AND THEY WERE TOLD THEY WERE
00:04:48.62\00:04:50.19
SUPPOSED TO BOW DOWN,
THEY DID NOT BOW DOWN. WHY?
00:04:50.22\00:04:54.29
BECAUSE ONE OF THE
TEN COMMANDMENTS SAYS,
00:04:54.32\00:04:55.72
"YOU SHALL NOT MAKE UNTO YOU
ANY GRAVEN IMAGES, YOU SHALL NOT
00:04:55.76\00:04:58.29
BOW DOWN YOURSELF
TO THEM NOR SERVE THEM.
00:04:58.33\00:05:00.60
IT WAS ONE OF THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS AND THEY SAID, NO.
00:05:00.63\00:05:03.80
OH, BUT THEIR FRIENDS
PROBABLY ELBOWED THEM.
00:05:03.83\00:05:05.80
"WE KNOW THAT YOU'RE JEWS AND
YOU NORMALLY WOULD NOT DO THIS
00:05:05.83\00:05:07.57
BUT JUST ONCE OR YOU'LL DIE.
GOD'LL UNDERSTAND, JUST ONCE.
00:05:07.60\00:05:10.41
TIE YOUR SHOE. JUST
WHEN THE MUSIC PLAYS AND
00:05:10.44\00:05:13.48
EVERYONE BOWS DOWN, OH, LOOK,
MY SANDALS, AND JUST, YOU KNOW,
00:05:13.51\00:05:16.48
JUST DON'T CAUSE A FUSS."
WHAT DID THEY DO? THEY SAID,
00:05:16.51\00:05:21.38
"WE'RE NOT EVEN GONNA
LOOK LIKE WE'RE BOWING DOWN.
00:05:21.42\00:05:24.79
WE'RE NOT GONNA GIVE
THE DEVIL THIS VICTORY.
00:05:24.82\00:05:26.89
WE'RE STANDING UP."
DANIEL 3:18, THEY'RE BROUGHT
00:05:26.92\00:05:30.39
BEFORE NEBUCHADNEZZAR AND HE
SAYS, "LOOK, MAYBE YOU DIDN'T
00:05:30.43\00:05:32.29
HEAR THE MUSIC." THEY
SAID, "NEBUCHADNEZZAR,
00:05:32.33\00:05:34.46
WE'RE NOT GONNA
WORSHIP YOUR IMAGE."
00:05:34.50\00:05:36.87
AND THEY WENT ON TO SAY,
"BE IT KNOWN UNTO THEE, O KING,
00:05:36.90\00:05:40.10
THAT WE WILL NOT SERVE THY
GODS. WE JUST OBEY OUR GOD."
00:05:40.14\00:05:45.07
"NOR WORSHIP THE GOLDEN
IMAGE WHICH YOU HAVE SET UP."
00:05:45.11\00:05:47.38
"WE'RE JUST NOT GONNA DO
IT. WE DON'T NEED A SECOND
00:05:47.41\00:05:49.18
AND A THIRD CHANCE."
THEY WERE DECISIVE ABOUT WHAT
00:05:49.21\00:05:52.98
THEY BELIEVED. THEN
IT SAYS, NEBUCHADNEZZAR
00:05:53.01\00:05:55.88
IN A RAGE, THEY
RUINED HIS INAUGURAL PARTY.
00:05:55.92\00:06:00.52
"THESE MEN WERE CAST INTO
THE MIDST OF THE BURNING FIERY
00:06:00.56\00:06:03.59
FURNACE." IT WAS SO
HOT, THE SOLDIERS WHO
00:06:03.63\00:06:05.39
THREW THEM IN WERE
SLAIN BY THE HEAT OF IT.
00:06:05.43\00:06:07.93
AND NEBUCHADNEZZAR SAID,
"DIDN'T WE THROW THREE MEN
00:06:07.96\00:06:09.86
BOUND INTO THE
MIDST OF THE FIRE?
00:06:09.90\00:06:13.07
I SEE FOUR MEN, NOT BOUND
ANYMORE, LOOSE WALKING IN THE
00:06:13.10\00:06:18.17
MIDST OF THE FIRE, AND
THEY HAVE NO HURT; AND THE FORM
00:06:18.21\00:06:21.58
OF THE FOURTH IS
LIKE THE SON OF GOD."
00:06:21.61\00:06:24.58
WHEN THEY WENT THROUGH
THE TRIAL FOR THEIR FAITH,
00:06:24.61\00:06:26.72
WHO WENT THROUGH IT WITH
THEM? YOU WILL BE TRIED FOR YOUR
00:06:26.75\00:06:30.09
OBEDIENCE, BUT
YOU WILL NOT BE ALONE.
00:06:30.12\00:06:32.99
WE WILL BE TESTED IF WE
DECIDE TO FOLLOW CHRIST.
00:06:33.02\00:06:34.99
THIS STORY OUGHT TO GIVE US
COURAGE IN THE LAST DAYS AND IF
00:06:35.02\00:06:37.39
THAT'S NOT ENOUGH FOR YOU,
GO TO DANIEL 6, VERY SIMILAR.
00:06:37.43\00:06:41.90
KING DARIUS MAKES A LAW
THAT EVERYBODY SHOULD WORSHIP
00:06:41.93\00:06:43.77
A CERTAIN WAY FOR 30
DAYS OR GO TO THE LION'S DEN.
00:06:43.80\00:06:47.80
AND DANIEL SAYS, "I'M NOT
GONNA HIDE MY DEVOTIONS TO GOD."
00:06:47.84\00:06:50.87
HE OPENS HIS
WINDOW, PRAYS OUT LOUD.
00:06:50.91\00:06:52.47
HE GOES TO THE LION'S DEN.
HE SAYS, "I'M GONNA OBEY GOD
00:06:52.51\00:06:56.18
RATHER THAN MAN, I'M GONNA OBEY
GOD RATHER THAN GOVERNMENT."
00:06:56.21\00:07:00.48
DANIEL GOES TO THE LION'S
DEN. DOES GOD PROTECT HIM?
00:07:00.52\00:07:02.98
YES, HE DOES. WILL WE
BE FACED WITH A SIMILAR
00:07:03.02\00:07:05.89
TEST IN THE LAST DAYS,
CHOOSING WHETHER TO OBEY
00:07:05.92\00:07:08.39
THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD OR
THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE BEAST?
00:07:08.42\00:07:11.83
AND IT HAD TO DO WITH WORSHIP.
IT ALL HAD TO DO WITH WORSHIP.
00:07:11.86\00:07:16.50
LOOK WITH ME, PROPHECY OF
REVELATION 14, ONE OF THE GREAT
00:07:16.53\00:07:19.47
PROPHECIES IN THE BIBLE.
"I SAW ANOTHER ANGEL FLYING IN
00:07:19.50\00:07:22.87
THE MIDST OF HEAVEN, HAVING
THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL TO PREACH
00:07:22.90\00:07:26.47
UNTO THEM," THIS IS VERSE 6,
"THAT DWELL ON THE EARTH AND TO
00:07:26.51\00:07:29.68
EVERY NATION AND KINDRED, AND
TONGUE, AND PEOPLE, SAYING WITH
00:07:29.71\00:07:33.28
A LOUD VOICE, FEAR GOD, AND
GIVE GLORY TO HIM; FOR THE HOUR
00:07:33.31\00:07:36.89
OF HIS JUDGMENT IS COME:
AND--" SAY THAT WORD WITH ME.
00:07:36.92\00:07:40.62
"WORSHIP HIM THAT MADE
THE HEAVEN, AND THE EARTH
00:07:40.66\00:07:46.03
AND THE SEA, AND
THE FOUNTAINS OF WATER."
00:07:46.06\00:07:49.90
HERE IT IS CALLING US
TO WORSHIP THE CREATOR.
00:07:49.93\00:07:53.07
WHY DOES GOD
DESERVE OUR WORSHIP?
00:07:53.10\00:07:55.27
'CAUSE HE IS THE
MAKER AND WE ARE THE MAKEE.
00:07:55.30\00:07:58.97
HE IS THE CREATOR,
WE ARE THE CREATION.
00:07:59.01\00:08:03.21
NOW GOD HAS SOMETHING IN
HIS LAW THAT TALKS TO US ABOUT
00:08:03.24\00:08:07.38
WORSHIP, ARE YOU AWARE OF THAT?
IT'S ONE OF HIS COMMANDMENTS.
00:08:07.42\00:08:11.32
IT'S THE LONGEST OF
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS,
00:08:11.35\00:08:13.99
IT'S IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS LAW
AND THE AMAZING THING ABOUT THIS
00:08:14.02\00:08:16.89
PRESENTATION IS THE TRUTH
ABOUT THIS SUBJECT IS SO CLEAR
00:08:16.93\00:08:21.36
AND IRREFUTABLE THAT IT IS
ABSOLUTELY ASTONISHING THAT
00:08:21.40\00:08:26.90
THIS HOAX HAS BEEN PERPETRATED
ON SO MANY DEAR PEOPLE.
00:08:26.94\00:08:30.77
IT'S THE SUBJECT OF THE SABBATH
TRUTH BECAUSE THE WHOLE SABBATH
00:08:30.81\00:08:34.61
COMMANDMENT
REVOLVES AROUND WORSHIP.
00:08:34.64\00:08:37.01
YOU NOTICE THERE IN
REVELATION 14 IT SAID, "WORSHIP
00:08:37.05\00:08:38.88
HIM THAT MADE THE HEAVENS
AND THE EARTH AND THE SEA."
00:08:38.91\00:08:41.28
THAT'S DRAWN FROM EXODUS
20, THE FOURTH COMMANDMENT
00:08:41.32\00:08:44.39
ABOUT THE SABBATH.
HAVEN'T WE BEEN LEARNING THAT
00:08:44.42\00:08:47.09
REVELATION, THERE ARE
SHADOWS IN REVELATION.
00:08:47.12\00:08:50.73
IT'S A KALEIDOSCOPE OF
ALL THESE OTHER PASSAGES
00:08:50.76\00:08:52.69
IN THE BIBLE.
IT'S ALL ABOUT WORSHIP.
00:08:52.73\00:08:56.97
THE VERY BEGINNING OF
THE BIBLE, ADAM AND EVE HAVE
00:08:57.00\00:08:58.60
TWO BOYS, CAIN AND ABEL.
00:08:58.63\00:09:00.97
THEY BOTH BUILD ALTARS,
OSTENSIBLY TO THE SAME GOD.
00:09:01.00\00:09:05.67
ONE WORSHIPS THE WAY GOD SAID,
ABEL, CAIN DOES IT HIS OWN WAY.
00:09:05.71\00:09:09.41
HE GETS UPSET BECAUSE GOD
ACCEPTS ABEL, BUT HE DOESN'T
00:09:09.44\00:09:12.48
ACCEPT CAIN'S MANMADE
WORSHIP. CAIN KILLS ABEL.
00:09:12.51\00:09:16.69
FAST FORWARD TO
THE END OF THE BIBLE.
00:09:16.72\00:09:18.49
TWO GROUPS AGAIN, BOTH
WORSHIPING, CLAIMING TO WORSHIP
00:09:18.52\00:09:23.12
THE SAME GOD. ONE IS
REALLY WORSHIPING THE BEAST.
00:09:23.16\00:09:26.70
THE ONE WHO WORSHIPS THE BEAST
IS TRYING TO KILL THE ONE WHO
00:09:26.73\00:09:29.10
WORSHIPS GOD. THE
DEVIL WANTS OUR WORSHIP,
00:09:29.13\00:09:32.20
GOD WANTS OUR
WORSHIP. WE MUST CHOOSE.
00:09:32.23\00:09:36.07
THAT'S ONE THING THE
DEVIL CANNOT FORCE YOU TO DO
00:09:36.10\00:09:39.17
AND GOD WILL NOT FORCE
YOU. NOW AS WE TALK ABOUT THIS
00:09:39.21\00:09:42.21
SUBJECT OF THE SABBATH, THE
REASON WE'RE PRESENTING THIS IS
00:09:42.24\00:09:45.38
BECAUSE IN THE LAST DAYS THERE
IS A MOVEMENT TO GET BACK TO
00:09:45.41\00:09:47.98
THE TEACHINGS
OF THE BIBLE. AMEN?
00:09:48.02\00:09:50.52
AND SO WHAT IS A
CHRISTIAN? FOLLOWER OF CHRIST.
00:09:50.55\00:09:54.69
LET'S FIND OUT WHAT JESUS DID.
QUESTION NUMBER ONE, "ON WHAT
00:09:54.72\00:09:57.49
DAY DID JESUS
CUSTOMARILY WORSHIP?"
00:09:57.53\00:10:01.26
THE BIBLE TELLS US RIGHT THERE
IN LUKE 4:16, "AND HE, JESUS,
00:10:01.30\00:10:05.20
CAME TO NAZARETH, WHERE HE
HAD BEEN BROUGHT UP: AND, AS HIS
00:10:05.23\00:10:08.57
CUSTOM WAS, HE WENT INTO
THE SYNAGOGUE ON THE SABBATH DAY
00:10:08.60\00:10:12.51
AND HE STOOD UP TO READ."
WHAT'S A CUSTOM, SOMETHING YOU
00:10:12.54\00:10:15.08
DO ONCE OR TWICE OR
IT'S A HABIT, IT'S A PATTERN?
00:10:15.11\00:10:17.71
HIS CUSTOM WAS TO GO TO CHURCH,
THE SYNAGOGUE IS THE CHURCH,
00:10:17.75\00:10:21.88
ON THE SABBATH,
WORSHIP GOD, READ THE BIBLE.
00:10:21.92\00:10:24.89
IT WAS A CUSTOM FOR HIM.
00:10:24.92\00:10:27.29
YOU SAY, "WELL, I HAVE NO
PROBLEM WITH THAT, PASTOR DOUG,
00:10:27.32\00:10:29.62
BUT WHAT DAY IS
THE BIBLE SABBATH?
00:10:29.66\00:10:32.63
WHAT DAY OF THE
WEEK IS THE SABBATH?"
00:10:32.66\00:10:34.50
GO TO GENESIS 2:2, "AND ON THE
SEVENTH DAY GOD ENDED HIS WORK
00:10:34.56\00:10:40.97
WHICH HE HAD MADE; AND HE
RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY FROM
00:10:41.00\00:10:45.01
ALL HIS WORK WHICH HE
HAD MADE. AND GOD BLESSED
00:10:45.04\00:10:47.48
THE SEVENTH DAY,
AND SANCTIFIED IT."
00:10:47.51\00:10:50.81
NOW IT JUMPS OUT AT ME
THAT THE FIRST TIME ANYTHING IS
00:10:50.85\00:10:54.08
MENTIONED THREE TIMES IN
THE BIBLE, IT'S THE SABBATH.
00:10:54.12\00:10:57.72
GOD IS THE FATHER, THE SON,
THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THAT'S WHY
00:10:57.75\00:11:01.29
THE ANGELS SAY,
"HOLY, HOLY, HOLY."
00:11:01.32\00:11:04.33
AND HERE IN GENESIS
IT SAYS, THE SEVENTH DAY,
00:11:04.36\00:11:06.23
THE SEVENTH
DAY, THE SEVENTH DAY.
00:11:06.26\00:11:08.60
NOW WHAT DAY OF THE
WEEK IS THE SABBATH DAY?
00:11:08.63\00:11:12.17
IF YOU GO TO ANY
NORMAL DICTIONARY, YOU'LL FIND
00:11:12.20\00:11:14.17
THAT IT SAYS SATURDAY IS
THE SEVENTH DAY OF THE WEEK.
00:11:14.20\00:11:18.47
THE ENCYCLOPEDIA
WILL TELL YOU THAT.
00:11:18.51\00:11:20.68
MATTER OF FACT, IN OVER
105 LANGUAGES OF THE WORLD,
00:11:20.71\00:11:25.18
THE WORD, NO MATTER WHAT
THE RELIGION OF THE COUNTRY IS,
00:11:25.21\00:11:28.22
THE WORD FOR
SATURDAY IS SABBATH DAY.
00:11:28.25\00:11:32.29
SOME FRIENDS HERE SPEAK
SPANISH, I KNOW, THIS IS BEING
00:11:32.32\00:11:34.59
TRANSLATED INTO SPANISH.
THE WORD FOR SATURDAY IS SABADO.
00:11:34.62\00:11:38.39
WE HAVE ANY
RUSSIAN FRIENDS HERE?
00:11:38.43\00:11:40.00
SPEAK RUSSIAN?
SEVENTH DAY IS SUBOTA.
00:11:40.03\00:11:43.90
EVEN IN ARABIC, WHERE THEY
KEEP FRIDAY AS THEIR SABBATH
00:11:43.93\00:11:47.37
THE WORD FOR SATURDAY IS
SABBATH DAY, 105 LANGUAGES OF
00:11:47.40\00:11:51.61
THE WORLD. IT'S GOT
AN INTERESTING HISTORY.
00:11:51.64\00:11:56.08
"BUT PASTOR DOUG, HASN'T
THE CALENDAR BEEN CHANGED SO WE
00:11:56.11\00:11:58.38
DON'T REALLY KNOW?" CALENDAR'S
BEEN CHANGED MANY TIMES.
00:11:58.41\00:12:01.88
THAT'S ONE OF THE
FAMOUS MYTHS THAT YOU HEAR.
00:12:01.92\00:12:03.99
"OH, CAN'T TELL
WHAT DAY'S THE SABBATH."
00:12:04.02\00:12:05.59
PEOPLE NEVER HAVE A PROBLEM
WITH WHAT DAY OF THE WEEK IT IS
00:12:05.62\00:12:09.02
UNTIL THEY HEAR
THE SABBATH TRUTH.
00:12:09.06\00:12:10.29
FACT IS IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT
DAY THE SABBATH IS, YOU DON'T
00:12:10.33\00:12:12.69
KNOW WHAT DAY
SUNDAY IS EITHER, RIGHT?
00:12:12.73\00:12:15.80
BUT YOU CAN KNOW, NO CHANGE TO
THE CALENDAR EVER AFFECTS THAT.
00:12:15.83\00:12:21.17
THE SABBATH IN THE CALENDAR,
THE WEEKLY CYCLE, EVEN THOUGH
00:12:21.20\00:12:25.57
YOU SEE THEM ON THE SAME
CALENDAR ON THE WALL, THEY'RE
00:12:25.61\00:12:27.48
TWO COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT
MEASUREMENTS OF TIME.
00:12:27.51\00:12:29.78
NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO TO
THE CALENDAR, IT DOESN'T CHANGE
00:12:29.81\00:12:32.08
THE ONE, TWO, THREE,
FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN.
00:12:32.11\00:12:33.98
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE,
SIX, SEVEN. THAT'S WHY YOUR
00:12:34.02\00:12:35.88
BIRTHDAY IS A DIFFERENT DAY
OF THE WEEK EVERY YEAR, RIGHT?
00:12:35.92\00:12:41.92
SOMEBODY WROTE THE
U.S. NAVEL OBSERVATORY ABOUT
00:12:41.96\00:12:43.73
THIS QUESTION AND THIS IS A COPY
OF THE LETTER THAT CAME BACK.
00:12:43.76\00:12:47.76
AND THEY SAID, "WE'VE HAD
OCCASION TO INVESTIGATE THE
00:12:47.83\00:12:50.80
RESULTS OF THE WORKS OF
SPECIALISTS IN CHRONOLOGY AND
00:12:50.83\00:12:53.37
WE HAVE NEVER FOUND ONE OF
THEM THAT EVER HAS THE SLIGHTEST
00:12:53.40\00:12:56.07
DOUBT ABOUT THE CONTINUITY
OF THE WEEKLY CYCLE SINCE LONG
00:12:56.10\00:12:59.37
BEFORE THE CHRISTIAN ERA."
THERE HAS BEEN NO CHANGE IN THE
00:12:59.41\00:13:02.78
CALENDAR THAT HAS EVER AFFECTED
THE CONTINUITY OF THE WEEKLY
00:13:02.81\00:13:05.81
CYCLE. POPE
GREGORY MADE A CHANGE BACK
00:13:05.85\00:13:09.18
IN, I THINK, 1582, THURSDAY
OCTOBER 4TH WAS FOLLOWED BY
00:13:09.22\00:13:16.02
FRIDAY OCTOBER
15TH. THEY ADDED 10 DAYS,
00:13:16.06\00:13:18.93
IT CHANGED THE CALENDAR.
DID IT CHANGE THE WEEK?
00:13:18.96\00:13:21.56
NO, IT DOESN'T AFFECT THE WEEK.
SO THERE'S NO QUESTION ABOUT
00:13:21.60\00:13:24.90
WHAT DAY OF THE
WEEK IS THE SEVENTH DAY.
00:13:24.93\00:13:26.37
AND YOU KNOW FOR ME, WHAT
THE SLAM DUNK IS FOR ME ON THIS,
00:13:26.40\00:13:29.97
YOU GOT A WHOLE JEWISH
NATION ALL OVER THE WORLD.
00:13:30.01\00:13:32.31
DO THEY KNOW WHAT DAY THE
SEVENTH DAY OF THE WEEK IS?
00:13:32.34\00:13:34.91
IT'S ALWAYS BEEN WHAT WE
COMMONLY CALL SATURDAY TODAY,
00:13:34.94\00:13:39.21
THERE'S MORE
EVIDENCE FOR THIS LATER.
00:13:39.25\00:13:41.38
WHO MADE THE
SABBATH DAY AND WHEN?
00:13:41.42\00:13:44.69
GENESIS 2:1-3, "THUS THE
HEAVENS AND THE EARTH WERE
00:13:44.72\00:13:48.49
FINISHED, AND ALL
THE HOSTS OF THEM.
00:13:48.52\00:13:50.39
AND GOD BLESSED
THE SEVENTH DAY."
00:13:50.43\00:13:52.39
GOD DID IT, WAY BACK IN
THE BEGINNING, IN CREATION.
00:13:52.43\00:13:56.36
THAT'S WHY JESUS SAID THE
SABBATH WAS MADE FOR MAN BACK
00:13:56.40\00:13:59.40
IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN.
THE LORD CAME WALKING IN
00:13:59.43\00:14:02.30
THE COOL OF THE DAY
LOOKING FOR ADAM AND EVE.
00:14:02.34\00:14:04.11
THIS DAY WAS A SPECIAL DAY
FOR THEIR COMMUNION TOGETHER,
00:14:04.14\00:14:08.11
HE CREATED AS A BLESSING TO MAN.
00:14:08.14\00:14:09.98
WAS THERE SIN IN THE WORLD
WHEN GOD CREATED THE SABBATH?
00:14:10.01\00:14:12.81
WAS IT PART OF HIS PERFECT PLAN?
00:14:12.85\00:14:15.52
THEN IT'S NOTHING
THAT HE NEEDED TO CHANGE.
00:14:15.55\00:14:17.49
GOD, IN THE VERY BEGINNING,
MADE THE INSTITUTIONS OF
00:14:17.52\00:14:20.82
MARRIAGE. DO WE
STILL HAVE MARRIAGE?
00:14:20.86\00:14:22.52
IS THAT STILL
PART OF GOD'S PLAN?
00:14:22.56\00:14:24.09
BY THE WAY, WHAT DID GOD MAKE
FOR MAN IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN?
00:14:24.13\00:14:31.37
HE MADE WOMAN AND HE
MADE THE SABBATH DAY.
00:14:31.40\00:14:34.97
DO WE STILL NEED
WOMEN? DO WE STILL NEED
00:14:35.00\00:14:40.31
THE SABBATH DAY?
PART OF HIS PERFECT PLAN.
00:14:40.34\00:14:43.91
"WHAT DOES GOD SAY
ABOUT SABBATH KEEPING IN THE
00:14:43.95\00:14:47.08
TEN COMMANDMENTS, WHICH HE
WROTE WITH HIS OWN FINGER?"
00:14:47.12\00:14:50.42
I MIGHT ADD. EXODUS 20:8, THIS
IS PART-- OH, BY THE WAY, IT'S
00:14:50.45\00:14:54.22
NOT THE TEN RECOMMENDATIONS,
IT'S NOT THE TEN GOOD IDEAS,
00:14:54.26\00:14:58.89
IT'S THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
"REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY
00:14:58.93\00:15:03.20
TO KEEP IT HOLY. THE
LORD BLESSED THE SABBATH
00:15:03.23\00:15:06.47
DAY, AND HALLOWED IT."
NOW NOTICE, GOD ON THE SABBATH
00:15:06.50\00:15:10.57
DAY, HE RESTED, HE BLESSED AND
HE SANCTIFIED THE SEVENTH DAY.
00:15:10.61\00:15:17.78
ONE TIME THE
WORD, "HOLY" APPEARS
00:15:17.81\00:15:20.58
IN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
IT'S IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LAW.
00:15:20.62\00:15:23.82
IT'S THE LONGEST OF
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:15:23.85\00:15:25.62
IT'S THE ONE THAT BEGINS WITH
THE WORD, "REMEMBER" AND IT'S
00:15:25.65\00:15:28.09
THE SABBATH COMMANDMENT AND YET
IT IS ONE THAT IS LARGELY BEING
00:15:28.12\00:15:31.39
NEGLECTED BY PROFESSED
CHRISTIANS THE WORLD OVER.
00:15:31.43\00:15:34.56
DOES GOD CARE?
00:15:34.60\00:15:36.40
HE CARED ENOUGH TO SPEAK
IT WITH HIS VOICE AND WRITE IT
00:15:36.43\00:15:38.70
WITH HIS FINGER IN THE
PRESENCE OF A WHOLE NATION.
00:15:38.73\00:15:41.67
AND JESUS SAID, "IF YOU
LOVE ME, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS."
00:15:41.70\00:15:44.41
SOME PEOPLE SAY, "WELL, THEY
WEREN'T REALLY EXPECTED TO KEEP
00:15:44.44\00:15:48.11
THE SABBATH AS A SABBATH DAY
UNTIL THEY GOT TO MOUNT SINAI."
00:15:48.14\00:15:51.28
WRONG, THE BIBLE
DOESN'T TEACH THAT.
00:15:51.31\00:15:53.08
FOR INSTANCE, WHEN THE CHILDREN
OF ISRAEL FIRST CAME OUT OF
00:15:53.11\00:15:55.22
EGYPT BEFORE THEY GET TO
MOUNT SINAI, GOD RAINS MANNA
00:15:55.25\00:15:59.29
DOWN FROM HEAVEN. YOU
REMEMBER THAT EXPERIENCE?
00:15:59.32\00:16:02.42
AND MOSES SAID, "EAT THAT
TODAY FOR TODAY IS A SABBATH."
00:16:02.46\00:16:06.73
THEY GATHERED TWICE AS MUCH ON
FRIDAY. "FOR TODAY IS A SABBATH
00:16:06.76\00:16:09.96
UNTO THE LORD: TODAY YE
SHALL NOT FIND IT IN THE FIELD."
00:16:10.00\00:16:13.37
GOD WORKED A MIRACLE THE
WHOLE TIME THEY WERE IN THE
00:16:13.40\00:16:15.07
WILDERNESS WHEN HE RAINED MANNA
DOWN FROM HEAVEN 6 DAYS A WEEK.
00:16:15.10\00:16:18.17
THEY'D GET TWICE AS MUCH ON
FRIDAY AND HE WOULD NOT RAIN
00:16:18.21\00:16:21.21
MANNA ON THE SABBATH.
NOW THAT'S IN EXODUS 16
00:16:21.24\00:16:26.41
AND HE'S TELLING THEM THAT
THE SABBATH IS HIS COMMANDMENT.
00:16:26.45\00:16:29.22
HE USES THAT PHRASE IN HIS LAW
BEFORE THEY GET TO MOUNT SINAI.
00:16:29.25\00:16:33.32
YEAH, THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
HAD FORGOTTEN ABOUT IT OR HAD
00:16:33.36\00:16:35.62
BEEN NEGLECTED. "PASTOR
DOUG, THAT'S THE OLD TESTAMENT.
00:16:35.66\00:16:39.13
HAVEN'T THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
BEEN CHANGED OR ALTERED
00:16:39.16\00:16:41.76
IN SOME WAY?" YOU
KNOW, THAT'S WHAT PROPHECY
00:16:41.80\00:16:44.07
TELLS US THE
BEAST WOULD THINK TO DO.
00:16:44.10\00:16:46.87
YOU REMEMBER WE
STUDIED THE ANTICHRIST.
00:16:46.90\00:16:48.00
DANIEL 7:25, ONE OF HIS
CHARACTERISTICS WAS HE WOULD
00:16:48.04\00:16:51.97
THINK TO CHANGE TIMES
AND LAWS. WHEN I LOOK AT THE
00:16:52.01\00:16:55.48
TEN COMMANDMENTS, I CAN ONLY
FIND ONE COMMANDMENT THAT IS
00:16:55.51\00:16:57.51
BOTH A LAW AND A
TIME. IT'S THE SABBATH.
00:16:57.55\00:17:01.88
PROVERBS 30:5-6, "EVERY WORD OF
GOD IS PURE: ADD THOU NOT UNTO
00:17:01.92\00:17:07.09
HIS WORDS, LEST HE REPROVE
THEE, AND THOU BE FOUND A LIAR."
00:17:07.12\00:17:11.59
WE ARE NOT TO ADD TO OR
TAKE AWAY FROM HIS WORDS.
00:17:11.63\00:17:14.56
AND THEN YOU CAN
ALSO READ IN HEBREWS 4:9,
00:17:14.60\00:17:16.46
THIS IS NEW TESTAMENT.
"THERE REMAINS THEREFORE A REST
00:17:16.50\00:17:19.60
TO THE PEOPLE OF GOD."
AND THAT WORD, "REST" THERE IF
00:17:19.63\00:17:21.97
YOU TAKE IT FROM ITS GREEK
TRANSLATION, IT'S SABBITISMOS
00:17:22.00\00:17:25.47
AND IT MEANS THE KEEPING
OF A SABBATH, THERE REMAINS.
00:17:25.51\00:17:29.11
THIS IS NEW TESTAMENT,
ONE OF THE FINAL BOOKS IN
00:17:29.14\00:17:30.68
THE NEW TESTAMENT SAYS, "THERE
REMAINS A KEEPING OF THE SABBATH
00:17:30.71\00:17:33.38
FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD."
OH, WELL SOMEBODY'S GONNA SAY,
00:17:33.42\00:17:36.08
"WELL, PASTOR DOUG, NOW THAT
WE'RE CHRISTIANS WE KEEP THE
00:17:36.12\00:17:39.29
SPIRIT OF THE
LAW, NOT THE LETTER.
00:17:39.32\00:17:40.79
YOU'RE BEING LEGALISTIC TO
TELL PEOPLE THEY GOTTA KEEP
00:17:40.82\00:17:43.53
THE LETTER OF THE LAW."
REMEMBER WE TALKED ABOUT THAT
00:17:43.56\00:17:45.33
A LITTLE BIT? HOW
CAN YOU SAY YOU'RE GONNA
00:17:45.36\00:17:48.06
KEEP THE SPIRIT OF THE
LAW AND IGNORE THE LETTER?
00:17:48.10\00:17:51.90
THE LETTER IS THE
FOUNDATION FOR THE SPIRIT.
00:17:51.93\00:17:54.30
IF YOU SAY, "I'M GONNA KEEP
THE SPIRIT OF THE LAW THAT SAYS
00:17:54.34\00:17:56.71
THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT
ADULTERY," WHICH MEANS YOU
00:17:56.74\00:17:58.27
DON'T LOOK UPON THE OPPOSITE
SEX TO THINK IT IN YOUR HEART,
00:17:58.31\00:18:01.38
THAT'S RIGHT
THAT'S THE SPIRIT OF IT.
00:18:01.41\00:18:02.98
BUT HOW DO YOU KEEP THE SPIRIT
OF THE LAW AND SAY, "I'M GONNA
00:18:03.01\00:18:04.88
COMMIT THE ACT OF ADULTERY, BUT
I'M NOT GONNA BREAK THE SPIRIT?
00:18:04.91\00:18:08.52
OR I'M NOT GONNA BREAK THE
SPIRIT OF THE LAW, THOU SHALT
00:18:08.55\00:18:11.52
NOT KILL." JESUS SAID, "THE LAW
SAYS DON'T KILL, BUT I SAY UNTO
00:18:11.55\00:18:14.89
YOU, WHOEVER IS ANGRY WITH HIS
BROTHER WITHOUT CAUSE IS GUILTY
00:18:14.92\00:18:17.09
OF MURDER." THAT'S
THE SPIRIT OF THE LAW.
00:18:17.13\00:18:19.39
BUT IF YOU'RE NOT GONNA BREAK
THE SPIRIT OF THE LAW, DON'T BE
00:18:19.43\00:18:21.70
ANGRY WITH YOUR BROTHER WITHOUT
CAUSE, HOW DO YOU KEEP THAT
00:18:21.73\00:18:25.07
AND STILL BREAK THE LETTER?
00:18:25.10\00:18:27.87
SO IF YOU'RE GONNA KEEP THE
SPIRIT OF THE LAW, JESUS SAID,
00:18:27.90\00:18:29.97
"COME UNTO ME AND
I'LL GIVE YOU REST."
00:18:30.01\00:18:31.47
THAT'S THE SPIRIT OF
THE LAW. I BELIEVE IT, AMEN.
00:18:31.51\00:18:34.78
BUT THE SABBATH IS THE
VERY STARTING POINT FOR THAT
00:18:34.81\00:18:37.31
EXPERIENCE OF REST.
AND DO WE STILL NEED A DAY
00:18:37.35\00:18:41.12
OF REST? DO WE
NEED A DAY OF WORSHIP.
00:18:41.15\00:18:44.79
CORPORATE WORSHIP SOME
PEOPLE SAY, "OH, PASTOR DOUG,
00:18:44.82\00:18:47.19
I'M A NEW TESTAMENT CHRISTIAN,
I WORSHIP GOD 7 DAYS A WEEK.
00:18:47.22\00:18:51.73
YOU ONLY WORSHIP HIM 1 DAY A
WEEK." AND, YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE
00:18:51.76\00:18:54.86
TELLS US THAT WE SHOULD, I
BELIEVE, WORSHIP GOD ALWAYS.
00:18:54.93\00:18:57.70
BUT IN THE COMMANDMENT,
IT SAYS WE ARE NOT TO WORK.
00:18:57.73\00:19:00.67
AND IF A PERSON SAYS THAT
THEY'RE KEEPING THE SABBATH
00:19:00.70\00:19:02.70
7 DAYS A WEEK, THEY'RE
NOT HOLY, THEY'RE LAZY.
00:19:02.74\00:19:06.17
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO ONLY
KEEP THAT DAY ONE DAY A WEEK,
00:19:06.21\00:19:08.58
NOT SECULAR WORK BUT RESERVE
THAT DAY ONLY FOR HOLY TIME
00:19:08.61\00:19:12.08
WITH GOD. SOME
ARE SAYING, "NOW THAT
00:19:12.11\00:19:14.48
WE'RE UNDER GRACE,
GRACE BLOTS OUT THE LAW.
00:19:14.52\00:19:17.52
WE'RE NOT UNDER THE LAW
ANYMORE, WE'RE NOW UNDER GRACE."
00:19:17.55\00:19:20.29
YOU KNOW, I
DON'T GET THAT EITHER.
00:19:20.32\00:19:22.32
THAT'S SORT OF LIKE YOU
GET PULLED OVER BY A POLICEMAN
00:19:22.36\00:19:24.89
BECAUSE YOU'RE DRIVING TOO FAST
AND YOU START TO CRY, IT WORKS,
00:19:24.93\00:19:30.27
I'VE DONE IT, AND SHE
DIDN'T GIVE ME A TICKET.
00:19:30.30\00:19:38.41
BUT SUPPOSE THEY DO SHOW
YOU MERCY, WHAT DO YOU DO? SAY,
00:19:38.44\00:19:42.01
"PRAISE THE LORD, I'M NOT UNDER
THE LAW NOW BECAUSE THEY'VE
00:19:42.04\00:19:43.91
HAD MERCY ON ME SO I CAN
DRIVE AS FAST AS I WANT"? NO.
00:19:43.95\00:19:47.58
WHEN YOU'RE FORGIVEN BECAUSE
OF BEING UNDER THE LAW AND THE
00:19:47.62\00:19:50.09
CURSE OF THE LAW FOR OUR SINS,
WHEN YOU'RE FORGIVEN FOR YOUR
00:19:50.12\00:19:52.19
SINS, CHRISTIANS ARE THE
MOST CAREFUL TO OBEY THE LAW.
00:19:52.22\00:19:55.42
WE'RE NOT GIVEN A
LICENSE TO DISOBEY.
00:19:55.46\00:19:58.19
DID THE APOSTLES
KEEP THE SABBATH? YES.
00:19:58.23\00:20:01.76
PAUL, AS HIS MANNER WAS, HE
WENT UNTO THEM, THREE SABBATH
00:20:01.80\00:20:05.40
DAYS AND HE REASONED WITH
THEM OUT OF THE SCRIPTURES."
00:20:05.43\00:20:09.07
THIS IS ACTS 17:2,
YOU CAN JUMP TO ACTS 18:4.
00:20:09.10\00:20:13.38
"HE REASONED IN THE SYNAGOGUE
EVERY SABBATH, AND PERSUADED
00:20:13.41\00:20:16.08
BOTH JEWS AND GREEKS." GREEKS
MEANING GENTILES, NON-JEWS.
00:20:16.11\00:20:20.58
WHY WOULD YOU THINK THAT JESUS
WOULD SAY, SPEAKING OF THE LAST
00:20:20.62\00:20:23.49
DAYS, "PRAY THAT YOUR FLIGHT
BE NOT IN THE WINTER, NEITHER
00:20:23.52\00:20:27.49
ON THE SABBATH DAY"?
CHRIST, LOOKING DOWN THE COURSE
00:20:27.52\00:20:30.29
OF TIME SEEING HIS PEOPLE
IN THE LAST DAYS, TOLD THEM, WE
00:20:30.33\00:20:33.40
SHOULD PRAY THAT WE
WOULDN'T HAVE TO FLEE
00:20:33.43\00:20:34.66
ON THE SABBATH DAY.
IF THEY'RE NOT KEEPING
00:20:34.73\00:20:36.50
THE SABBATH ANYMORE,
WHY WOULD JESUS SAY THAT?
00:20:36.53\00:20:39.50
DID THE GENTILES ALSO
WORSHIP ON THE SABBATH DAY?
00:20:39.53\00:20:44.21
NEW TESTAMENT, YES, ACTS 13:42.
00:20:44.24\00:20:47.28
BY THE WAY, THIS IS
WRITTEN BY A GENTILE.
00:20:47.31\00:20:49.88
"AND WHEN THE JEWS WERE
GONE OUT OF THE SYNAGOGUE,
00:20:49.91\00:20:52.71
THE GENTILES BESOUGHT
THESE WORDS MIGHT BE PREACHED TO
00:20:52.75\00:20:55.22
THEM THE NEXT SABBATH DAY."
THAT'S STILL THE SEVENTH DAY
00:20:55.25\00:20:58.79
OF THE WEEK, NOT
SUNDAY. AND IT GOES ON TO SAY
00:20:58.82\00:21:03.53
IN MARK 2:27, "AND HE
SAID UNTO THEM, THE SABBATH WAS
00:21:03.56\00:21:08.16
MADE FOR MAN, AND
NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH."
00:21:08.20\00:21:12.00
THE SABBATH IS MEANT TO
BE A BLESSING FOR MANKIND.
00:21:12.03\00:21:15.37
NOW ONE OF THE BIG STRUGGLES
JESUS HAD DURING HIS EARTHLY
00:21:15.40\00:21:17.47
MINISTRY IS THE RELIGIOUS
LEADERS AT HIS TIME HAD BECOME
00:21:17.51\00:21:21.68
VERY LEGALISTIC
ABOUT THE SABBATH.
00:21:21.71\00:21:24.31
DISCIPLES ARE
WALKING THROUGH THE FIELD.
00:21:24.35\00:21:25.78
THEY'RE HUNGRY, THEY PICK
ON SOME GRAIN OUT OF THE FIELD
00:21:25.81\00:21:27.78
AND THEY'RE EATING IT AND
THE PHARISEES SAID, "YOU'RE
00:21:27.82\00:21:30.62
HARVESTING ON THE SABBATH
DAY, YOU'RE CARRYING A BURDEN."
00:21:30.65\00:21:33.42
I MEAN THEY HAD ALL THESE
MANMADE LAWS AND CHRIST DID
00:21:33.46\00:21:35.12
HAVE TO CONTEND WITH THAT,
BUT NEVER EVER DOES JESUS SAY,
00:21:35.16\00:21:38.59
"SABBATH DOESN'T MATTER
ANYMORE." MATTER OF FACT,
00:21:38.63\00:21:42.16
IT WAS SO IMPORTANT TO CHRIST
AND HIS DISCIPLES UNDERSTOOD
00:21:42.20\00:21:46.27
THIS THAT AFTER HE HAD DIED
ON THE CROSS, THEY DID NOT EVEN
00:21:46.30\00:21:51.57
FINISH EMBALMING HIS BODY
BECAUSE THE SABBATH HAD COME,
00:21:51.61\00:21:55.91
THEY WAITED UNTIL AFTER
THE SABBATH AND CAME BACK.
00:21:55.94\00:21:59.18
MATTER OF FACT, CHRIST SAID,
"THINK NOT THAT I HAVE COME
00:21:59.21\00:22:01.58
TO DESTROY THE
LAW, DON'T THINK THAT."
00:22:01.62\00:22:04.89
ISAIAH 56, IS IT
ALSO FOR THE GENTILES?
00:22:04.92\00:22:08.59
A PROPHECY IN THE OLD
TESTAMENT, "ALSO THE SONS
00:22:08.62\00:22:10.83
OF THE STRANGER, THAT
JOIN THEMSELVES TO THE LORD, TO
00:22:10.86\00:22:14.20
SERVE HIM, AND TO LOVE THE
NAME OF THE LORD, AND TO BE HIS
00:22:14.23\00:22:17.27
SERVANTS, EVERY ONE THAT KEEPS
THE SABBATH FROM POLLUTING IT,
00:22:17.30\00:22:21.27
AND TAKING HOLD OF MY COVENANT."
00:22:21.30\00:22:24.37
HE WILL MAKE THEM
JOYFUL IN HIS HOUSE OF PRAYER.
00:22:24.41\00:22:26.88
THE SONS OF THE STRANGER, THOSE
WHO CHOSE TO WORSHIP JEHOVAH,
00:22:26.91\00:22:30.78
THEY DIDN'T PICK THEIR
OWN NEW SABBATH DAY, THEY KEPT
00:22:30.81\00:22:33.18
THE SABBATH DAY THAT GOD PICKED,
THE ONE HE GAVE ADAM AND EVE,
00:22:33.21\00:22:36.38
THE ONE HE GAVE IN
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS,
00:22:36.42\00:22:38.82
THE ONE THAT JESUS KEPT,
IT'S ALWAYS BEEN THE SAME.
00:22:38.85\00:22:44.49
DO WE STILL NEED PHYSICAL REST?
00:22:44.53\00:22:46.70
OH, MAN, I TELL YOU,
WE'RE LIVING IN A SOCIETY TODAY.
00:22:46.73\00:22:49.86
THERE IS A WHOLE LITANY OF
DISEASES NOW THAT HAVE BEEN
00:22:49.90\00:22:52.97
CONNECTED WITH STRESS AND
FATIGUE RANGING FROM HEART
00:22:53.00\00:22:57.97
DISEASE, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE,
ULCERS, ONE OF THE TOP-SELLING
00:22:58.01\00:23:01.91
MEDICATIONS IN NORTH AMERICA
DEALS WITH ULCERS, SLEEP AIDS,
00:23:01.94\00:23:06.88
PEOPLE ARE STRESSED
AND THEY DON'T SLEEP.
00:23:06.92\00:23:09.32
A LOT OF IT IS BECAUSE PEOPLE
HAVE FORGOTTEN ABOUT GOD'S TIME
00:23:09.35\00:23:12.82
OF REST. AND HE BLESSED THE DAY.
00:23:12.85\00:23:15.99
YOU KNOW, IT SAID RIGHT
THERE IN THE COMMANDMENT,
00:23:16.02\00:23:17.49
"I'VE SANCTIFIED
IT. I'VE BLESSED IT.
00:23:17.53\00:23:19.89
I'VE MADE IT HOLY."
GOD EVEN RESTED THAT DAY
00:23:19.93\00:23:22.80
AND WE'RE MADE IN HIS
IMAGE. IF GOD RESTED THAT DAY,
00:23:22.83\00:23:25.37
ARE WE BETTER THAN
HIM? AND SO, IT IS IMPORTANT
00:23:25.40\00:23:28.90
TO THE LORD. IT'S
IMPORTANT FOR OUR HEALTH.
00:23:28.94\00:23:32.47
"WAS THE SABBATH
CHANGED TO SUNDAY AT CHRIST'S
00:23:32.51\00:23:35.58
RESURRECTION?" HOW MANY OF
YOU HAVE HEARD THAT BEFORE?
00:23:35.61\00:23:38.31
YOU DON'T FIND THAT
ANYWHERE IN THE BIBLE.
00:23:38.35\00:23:40.48
MATTER OF FACT IF WE
READ IN THE BIBLE, LUKE 23:54.
00:23:40.52\00:23:44.12
I'LL READ ALL THE WAY THROUGH
LUKE 24:1, "AND THAT DAY WAS
00:23:44.15\00:23:48.19
THE PREPARATION, FRIDAY
AND THE SABBATH DREW ON."
00:23:48.22\00:23:51.63
THE DAY JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS
IS COMMONLY CALLED GOOD FRIDAY,
00:23:51.66\00:23:55.16
OKAY? NOW BEFORE
I GET TO THE REST
00:23:55.20\00:23:57.17
OF LUKE, I WANTED TO INTERJECT
A COUPLE OF SLIDES HERE.
00:23:57.20\00:24:00.20
WHEN DOES THE SABBATH BEGIN?
JUST SO YOU KNOW, JESUS DIED
00:24:00.24\00:24:03.30
RIGHT ABOUT SUNDOWN. IT
SAYS IN LEVITICUS 23:32,
00:24:03.34\00:24:06.57
"FROM EVEN UNTO EVEN,"
EVEN MEANING EVENING, SUNDOWN,
00:24:06.61\00:24:11.28
"YOU SHALL CELEBRATE YOUR
SABBATH." IF THAT'S NOT ENOUGH,
00:24:11.31\00:24:13.68
READ MARK 1:32, "AND AT
EVEN, WHEN THE SUN DID SET."
00:24:13.72\00:24:18.09
SO THE SABBATH BEGINS AND ENDS
AT SUNSET, THE SABBATH TIME,
00:24:18.12\00:24:21.49
SACRED HOURS, NOT JUST FOR
JEWS BUT FOR ALL THAT FOLLOW
00:24:21.52\00:24:25.99
THE GOD OF THE BIBLE.
YOU KEEP GOING BACK TO--ALL
00:24:26.03\00:24:29.06
RIGHT, LET'S RETURN BACK
TO LUKE 23, SO FRIDAY SUNDOWN.
00:24:29.10\00:24:34.17
IT SAYS, "THEY RETURNED, AND
PREPARED SPICES AND OINTMENTS;
00:24:34.20\00:24:37.67
AND THEY RESTED THE SABBATH DAY
ACCORDING TO THE COMMANDMENT."
00:24:37.71\00:24:42.61
NOW THIS IS THE GOSPEL OF LUKE,
IS LUKE A JEW OR A GENTILE?
00:24:42.64\00:24:46.11
WHAT A GOOD OPPORTUNITY
LUKE MISSED TO SAY THEY RESTED
00:24:46.15\00:24:50.49
ACCORDING TO THE JEWISH
SABBATH, THE JEWISH LAW.
00:24:50.52\00:24:53.69
HE DOESN'T, HE
SAYS, "THE COMMANDMENT."
00:24:53.72\00:24:56.52
SO THERE'S NO QUESTION ABOUT IT.
