00:00 >> COMING UP NEXT ON
00:09 "AMAZING FACTS PRESENTS." 00:11 >> GOD DOES NOT SEND THE SABBATH TRUTH TO BE 00:13 A BURDEN FOR YOU. 00:14 HE SENDS IT TO BE A BLESSING. 00:16 HE DOESN'T WANT IT TO BE A PROBLEM. 00:18 IT'S A PRIVILEGE. 00:24 >> FOR OVER 40 YEARS "AMAZING FACTS" HAS BEEN 00:27 DEDICATED TO SHARING GOD'S WORD THROUGH MEDIA. 00:30 THIS PROGRAM FEATURES HIGHLIGHTS FROM SOME OF OUR BEST TELEVISION 00:34 BROADC WE INVITE YOU TO SIT BACK 00:38 AND ENJOY THIS EDITION OF "AMAZING FACTS PRESENTS." 00:53 >> OUR MESSAGE IS GONNA BE "THE REST OF THE STORY." 00:56 AND THE REASON I TITLED IT "THE REST OF THE STORY" IS 01:00 BECAUSE WE'RE GONNA BE TALKING ABOUT REST. 01:03 NORMALLY WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS MOST PEOPLE 01:06 DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM UNTIL YOU GET TO ONE IN PARTICULAR, 01:11 AND THAT'S THE FOURTH COMMANDMENT. 01:14 AND OBVIOUSLY WHEN SOMEONE MENTIONS THE SEVENTH DAY 01:17 ADVENTIST CHURCH, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S AT 01:19 THE FOREFRONT IS WHAT? 01:22 IT'S THE SABBATH. 01:23 SOMETIMES PEOPLE WILL ASK ME, "WHAT CHURCH DO YOU BELONG TO?" 01:27 I'LL SAY, "I'M A SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST CHRISTIAN." 01:29 "WHAT DO THEY BELIEVE?" 01:30 "THE BIBLE." 01:34 OH, WE DON'T, YOU KNOW, I AM NOT A MEMBER OF THE SEVENTH DAY 01:37 ADVENTIST CHURCH BECAUSE SOMEBODY FAXED ME A CREED ONE 01:39 DAY OR BECAUSE I WAS RAISED IN THIS CHURCH. 01:45 IT JUST HAPPENED THAT WHEN I READ THE BIBLE AND BEGAN TO 01:47 SEARCH FOR A CHURCH THAT WAS AS CLOSE TO THE BIBLE AS IT COULD 01:50 BE--I MEAN THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT TO SUPPORT, RIGHT? 01:53 I HAD NOWHERE ELSE TO GO. 01:55 NOW, THAT DOESN'T MEAN EVERYBODY WITHIN ANY SPECIFIC CHURCH IS 02:00 PERFECT. 02:01 THERE ARE GOOD PEOPLE IN EVERY DENOMINATION. 02:04 EVERY DENOMINATION HAS SOME FOLKS THAT THEY WISH WOULD NOT 02:07 GET OUT IN PUBLIC. 02:09 YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? 02:11 AND THAT'S NORMAL; YOU CAN'T REALLY JUDGE 'EM BY THAT. 02:13 BUT, YOU KNOW, THE FOUNDATIONAL TEACHINGS ARE THE IMPORTANT 02:16 ISSUE. 02:18 BUT WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS, 02:21 THE FIRST TEACHING THAT COMES TO MIND IS OF COURSE 02:23 THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH. 02:26 AND IT WAS AMAZING TO ME HOW PEOPLE WOULD CRINGE WHEN I FIRST 02:30 BEGAN TO LEARN THESE THINGS AND I WAS A BABY CHRISTIAN, 02:33 WORSHIPPING IN DIFFERENT FELLOWSHIPS, I KEPT WONDERING 02:37 ABOUT IT. 02:37 AND I'D GO TO A VARIETY OF PASTORS AND I'D SAY, "WHY DO WE 02:41 GO TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY?" 02:43 AND THEY ALL GAVE ME DIFFERENT ANSWERS, WHICH MADE ME 02:47 SUSPICIOUS. 02:48 ONE WOULD SAY, "WELL, WE GO TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY BECAUSE JESUS 02:52 ROSE ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK AND IT'S THE CHRISTIAN 02:54 SABBATH, IT'S THE NEW TESTAMENT SABBATH." 02:56 I'D SAY, "WELL, THAT SOUNDS GOOD, BUT WHERE'S 02:58 THE SCRIPTURE?" 02:59 "WELL, THERE REALLY IS NO SPECIFIC SCRIPTURE, BUT WE HAVE 03:02 A LONGSTANDING TRADITION--WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR, YOU KNOW, 03:04 1500 YEARS OR MORE." 03:07 WELL, THAT'S NOT A GOOD REASON. 03:08 WHERE'S THE BIBLE REASON? 03:10 I MEAN WHAT'S GONNA BE THE FOUNDATION FOR WHAT WE 03:12 STAND FOR? 03:13 IT'S THE SCRIPTURES. 03:15 HOW ELSE CAN YOU DEFEND IT? 03:17 I GO TO ANOTHER PASTOR, I'D SAY, "WHY DO WE GO ON SUNDAY?" 03:22 AND THEY'D SAY, "WELL, IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER WHAT DAY YOU GO, 03:24 JUST DON'T GO ON SATURDAY, BECAUSE WE'RE NOT UNDER THE LAW 03:27 NOW--WE'RE UNDER GRACE." 03:29 I ACTUALLY WAS DOING A MEETING LIKE THIS WHEN A MINISTER WHO 03:31 WAS ATTENDING INTERRUPTED THE MEETING. 03:34 HE SAID, "YOU'RE PUTTING ALL OF THESE PEOPLE UNDER A YOKE OF 03:36 BONDAGE, YOU'RE PUTTING THEM UNDER WORKS TELLING THEM THEY'VE 03:38 GOT TO KEEP THE OLD LAWS." 03:42 AND I SAID, "BROTHER," I MEAN THERE WAS A SMALLER GROUP AND SO 03:46 WE BEGAN TO HAVE A DIALOGUE RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF 03:48 THE MEETING. 03:49 I SAID, "BROTHER, DO YOU BELIEVE GOD WANTS US TO KEEP 03:51 THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OR NOT?" 03:54 AND SOME OF HIS PARISHIONERS WERE THERE AT THE MEETING, 03:57 SO HE WAS SENSITIVE TO THAT. 03:58 AND HE SAID, "NO." 04:01 AND THEN THEY, HE COULD HEAR THE GASP. 04:03 HIS MEMBERS WERE, "YOU DON'T BELIEVE WE SHOULD KEEP 04:05 THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?" 04:06 AND THEY REALIZED THAT THAT WOULD INCLUDE THE OTHER NINE 04:08 AND THAT DIDN'T SOUND RIGHT. 04:10 AND SO HE SAID, "YES." 04:12 BUT THEN HE THOUGHT, "WELL, THAT'S GONNA INCLUDE 04:14 THE SABBATH." 04:15 SO THEN HE SAID, "NINE OF THE THEM." 04:19 AND SO I SAID, "YOU'RE TELLING ME, IN OTHER WORDS, THE ONE 04:22 COMMANDMENT YOU THINK WE SHOULD FORGET IS THE ONLY ONE 04:25 THAT BEGINS WITH THE WORD 'REMEMBER?'" 04:29 AND THEN ONE FELLOW I TALKED TO WAS VERY CREATIVE. 04:33 I SAID, "WHY DO WE GO TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY?" 04:34 HE SAID, "BACK IN THE DAYS OF JOSHUA, THE SUN STOOD STILL, 04:38 SATURDAY BECAME SUNDAY." 04:42 THEN OF COURSE I SAID, "WELL, THEN WHY FOR THE NEXT 04:44 THOUSAND YEARS DID THEY STILL KEEP IT ON THE SEVENTH DAY?" 04:47 AND HE COULDN'T ANSWER THAT. 04:48 AND THERE ARE A HUNDRED OTHER ANSWERS, BUT ON MANY 04:50 OCCASIONS--I'M NOT AFRAID TO DO IT NOW--I'VE TURNED A CAMERA 04:53 AROUND IN A BIG AUDIENCE AND I SAID, "PLEASE SHOW ME ONE 04:56 SCRIPTURE THAT COMMANDS US TO KEEP THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK 05:00 HOLY AS THE SABBATH." 05:03 I'M NEVER AFRAID TO ASK THAT QUESTION. 05:05 I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WHO KNOWS WHAT SOMEONE MIGHT SAY, BUT THERE IS 05:06 NO SCRIPTURE. 05:09 SO I'M NOT AFRAID OF SOMEONE GIVING ME A SCRIPTURE--THERE 05:11 ISN'T ANY. 05:12 BUT THERE ARE PLENTY OF SCRIPTURES THAT COMMAND US TO 05:14 KEEP THE SEVENTH DAY HOLY AS THE SABBATH. 05:19 NOW, I WOULDN'T MAKE SUCH A BIG DEAL ABOUT THIS, EXCEPT IF THE 05:22 TEN COMMANDMENTS WERE SPOKEN BY GOD'S VOICE AND WRITTEN BY GOD'S 05:26 FINGER, IF THERE IS SOMETHING WORTH STANDING FOR, THAT WOULD 05:31 BE AMONG THAT GROUP OF THINGS FOR WHICH YOU SHOULD BE WILLING 05:34 TO STAND. 05:35 WE ILLUSTRATED LAST NIGHT THAT THE HEROES OF THE BIBLE, LIKE 05:38 DANIEL AND SHADRACH, MESHACH, ABEDNEGO, WERE WILLING TO DIE 05:42 RATHER THAN DISOBEY ONE OF GOD'S COMMANDMENTS. 05:44 IS HE GOING TO WANT LESS FROM HIS PEOPLE IN THE LAST DAYS? 05:48 "THAT'S FINE AND WELL, PASTOR DOUG, BUT IS IT NECESSARY 05:50 FOR NEW TESTAMENT CHRISTIANS TO ACTUALLY KEEP THE SEVENTH DAY 05:53 SABBATH?" 05:54 WELL, LET'S FIND OUT WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS. 05:56 DO YOU BELIEVE WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS? 05:58 LET'S START WITH A COMMANDMENT, EXODUS 20:8, THIS IS THE FOURTH 06:02 OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. 06:04 IT'S THE LONGEST OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS; IT'S THE ONLY 06:07 COMMANDMENT THAT BEGINS WITH THE WORD, "REMEMBER," IMPLYING GOD 06:11 KNEW, WE MIGHT BE PRONE TO FORGET. 06:14 "REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY, TO KEEP IT HOLY. 06:17 SIX DAYS YOU SHALL LABOR AND DO ALL OF YOUR WORK, BUT 06:20 THE SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH OF THE LORD YOUR GOD, IN IT YOU 06:24 SHALL NOT DO ANY WORK. 06:26 YOU, NOR YOUR SON, NOR YOUR DAUGHTER, NOR YOUR MALE SERVANT, 06:30 NOR YOUR FEMALE SERVANT, NOR YOUR CATTLE, NOR THE STRANGER 06:33 WHO IS WITHIN YOUR GATES. 06:35 FOR," HERE'S WHY, "IN SIX DAYS THE LORD MADE THE HEAVEN 06:38 AND THE EARTH AND THE SEA, AND ALL THAT IS IN THEM. 06:41 AND HE RESTED THE SEVENTH DAY, THEREFORE THE LORD BLESSED 06:45 THE SABBATH DAY AND HALLED IT." 06:48 REMEMBER, THEY ARE NOT CALLED "THE TEN SUGGESTIONS" OR 06:51 "THE TEN RECOMMENDATIONS." 06:53 WHEN THE ALMIGHTY CREATOR OF THE COSMOS SAYS, 06:57 "THIS IS MY WILL, DO THIS," THEN HE WANTS US TO DO IT. 07:02 NOT JUST TO BE HEARERS, BUT DOERS OF THE LAW. 07:05 QUESTION NUMBER ONE: "WHAT IS THE SABBATH DAY?" 07:09 OF COURSE IT WAS ON THE SABBATH DAY THAT GOD RESTED FROM HIS 07:12 WORK OF CREATION. 07:13 FOR SIX DAYS GOD CREATED THE WORLD, AND HE MADE DIFFERENT 07:18 THINGS ON THOSE SIX DAYS. 07:21 WHAT DID HE MAKE ON THE SEVENTH DAY? 07:23 HE MADE A DAY. 07:26 THE ONLY THING HE MADE ON THE SEVENTH DAY WAS THE SABBATH. 07:29 DO WE STILL NEED EVERYTHING ELSE GOD MADE ON THOSE OTHER 07:31 SIX DAYS? 07:33 THEN WHY WOULD WE THINK THE ONLY THING HE MADE ON THE SEVENTH DAY 07:36 IS NO LONGER NEEDED? 07:38 LET'S READ IT, GENESIS 2. 07:40 SABBATH GOES BACK TO CREATION, IT'S PART OF GOD'S PERFECT PLAN. 07:43 THERE WAS NO SIN IN THE WORLD AT THIS TIME. 07:46 "ON THE SEVENTH DAY GOD ENDED HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD DONE, 07:49 HE RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL OF HIS WORK WHICH HE 07:52 HAD DONE. 07:53 THEN GOD BLESSED THE SEVENTH DAY AND SANCTIFIED IT, 07:56 BECAUSE IN IT HE HAD RESTED FROM ALL HIS WORK WHICH 07:59 GOD CREATED AND MADE." 08:01 THE SABBATH IS THIS HOLY SPHERE OF TIME THAT DATES BACK TO 08:06 THE VERY BEGINNING. 08:07 NOW, YOU NOTICE IN THE COMMANDMENT IT SAYS THAT ON THE 08:10 SABBATH DAY THAT GOD RESTED, HE BLESSED IT AND HE SANCTIFIED IT. 08:16 MAN WAS MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD. 08:18 GOD HAS ASKED US TO FOLLOW HIS PATTERN 08:21 OF EMBRACING THE REST, "COME TO ME," JESUS SAYS, 08:25 "AND YOU'LL HAVE REST." 08:27 THE BLESSING--HE'S BLESSED THIS DAY ABOVE EVERY OTHER DAY. 08:31 AND SO MANY PEOPLE ARE MISSING THE BLESSING, BECAUSE YOU MUST 08:33 CAPITALIZE ON THAT BY FAITH; YOU MUST CLAIM IT. 08:37 IT'S THERE WHETHER YOU BELIEVE IT OR NOT. 08:39 THE SEVENTH IS THE SABBATH, WHETHER YOU'VE EVER KNOWN IT 08:41 OR NOT; WHETHER YOU BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THAT DOESN'T CHANGE IT. 08:43 IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE THE SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH, IT'S NOT 08:46 GOING TO AFFECT THAT TRUTH. 08:47 THE TRUTH IS THE TRUTH WHETHER YOU BELIEVE IT OR NOT. 08:51 AND GOD, AND HE SANCTIFIED IT, HE MADE IT HOLY. 08:55 AND WHEN GOD TELLS US SOMETHING IS HOLY, IT'S STILL HOLY. 08:57 TWO INSTITUTIONS IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN. 09:00 GOD ESTABLISHED MARRIAGE AND HE ESTABLISHED THE SABBATH TRUTH. 09:05 BECAUSE ALL LOVE RELATIONSHIPS FLOURISH IN THE DIMENSION OF 09:11 TIME. 09:12 THE REASON THE DEVIL HATES THE SABBATH TRUTH IS HE KNOWS IF 09:18 HE CAN GET PEOPLE SO BUSY WITH THE CARES OF LIFE THAT THEY WILL 09:20 NOT BE THINKING ABOUT THAT QUALITY TIME, THAT APPOINTMENT 09:23 WE'VE GOT WITH GOD WHERE OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM IS TO 09:26 GROW, IT'S TO BE NURTURED, IT'S TO BE NOURISHED. 09:29 NOT ONLY THAT, PEOPLE NEED PHYSICAL REST. 09:33 I'VE HEARD A NUMBER OF REPORTS FROM THE MILITARY. 09:36 THEY'VE TRIED ALL KINDS OF TESTS ABOUT HOW--WHAT IS THE ENDURANCE 09:39 OF MAN? 09:40 AND THEY EVEN TRIED GOING ON A 10-DAY WORKWEEK FOR THE TROOPS. 09:46 AND THEY SAID THE IDEAL SCHEDULE IS 6 DAYS OF WORK, 09:49 1 DAY OF REST. 09:51 GOD KNEW WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT. 09:53 AND THEN YOU CONSIDER, ESPECIALLY IN OUR AGE NOW, 09:57 ALL OF THE STRESS THAT PEOPLE GRAPPLE WITH. 10:00 MORE THAN ANY OTHER TIME IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD, TODAY 10:03 PEOPLE STRUGGLE WITH STRESS. 10:05 PEOPLE ARE ALL STRESSED OUT. 10:07 LET ME READ SOME, THERE'S SOME SCIENTIFIC DATA THAT I THINK IS 10:11 WORTHY OF SHARING WITH YOU. 10:14 A CORNELL UNIVERSITY STUDY OF WORKING COUPLES CONFIRMS 10:16 THE DETRIMENTAL EFFECTS THAT WORK-RELATED STRESS HAS 10:20 ON FAMILIES. 10:21 MARRIED COUPLES WITH CHILDREN BURDENED BY LONG HOURS OF PAID 10:24 WORK REPORT THE LOWEST QUALITY OF LIFE AMONG WORKING COUPLES. 10:29 ADDITIONALLY, CATCH THIS--43% OF ALL ADULTS SUFFER ADVERSE HEALTH 10:35 EFFECTS FROM STRESS. 10:38 I WISH I COULD SAY I WAS TOTALLY IMMUNE. 10:40 AND 75% TO 90% OF ALL PHYSICIAN OFFICE VISITS ARE ATTRIBUTED-- 10:45 DID YOU CATCH THAT? 10:46 75 TO 90% OF ALL PHYSICIAN OFFICE VISITS ARE ATTRIBUTED TO 10:50 STRESS-RELATED AILMENTS OR COMPLAINTS. 10:54 ACCORDING TO THE AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION, 10:57 STRESS IS LINKED TO THE SIX LEADING CAUSES OF DEATH 11:00 IN THE UNITED STATES. 11:01 STRESS IS RELATED TO HEART DISEASE, CANCER, LUNG AILMENTS, 11:04 ACCIDENTS, CIRRHOSIS OF THE LIVER, SUICIDE. 11:08 THE PHARMACY, SO MANY OF THE DRUGS THAT ARE SOLD OVER 11:11 THE COUNTER, EVERYTHING FROM SLEEPING PILLS TO ANTACIDS ARE 11:14 RELATED TO STRESS. 11:15 AND I WONDER IF THERE'S A CONNECTION BETWEEN MAN 11:18 FORGETTING THAT GOD SAID REST, AND TO ENJOY THE REST THAT 11:22 HE HAS TOLD US TO ENJOY IN THE SABBATH TIME. 11:27 EVERY SABBATH DAY IS NOT ONLY A TIME FOR US TO LET THE PRESSURE 11:32 OF THE STRESS GO AWAY, JUST TO LAY YOUR BURDENS DOWN. 11:37 JESUS SAYS, "COME TO ME, I'LL HELP YOU WITH YOUR BURDENS, 11:41 I'LL GIVE YOU REST." 11:42 THE SABBATH IS A RENEWING OF THAT RELATIONSHIP EVERY WEEK. 11:46 IT'S ALSO A MEMORIAL OF CREATION. 11:50 YOU SEE, EVERY TIME YOU REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY, YOU REMEMBER 11:53 THAT IN SIX DAYS GOD CREATED. 11:55 IT IS A CONSTANT MEMORIAL THAT GOD IS OUR CREATOR. 11:59 YOU CAN ALSO FIND THAT IN EZEKIEL. 12:02 IT TELLS US THAT HE GAVE US THE SABBATH DAY AS A SIGN OF 12:05 REDEMPTION. 12:07 NOT ONLY IT REMINDS US THAT HE IS OUR CREATOR, THAT HE MADE 12:10 US--IT REMINDS US THAT HE REDEEMED US. 12:13 FOR INSTANCE, YOU CAN LOOK IN EXODUS 31:13, "VERILY MY 12:18 SABBATHS YOU SHALL KEEP, FOR IT SHALL BE A SIGN BETWEEN ME AND 12:23 YOU THROUGHOUT YOUR GENERATIONS, THAT YOU MIGHT KNOW THAT I AM 12:26 THE LORD THAT DOES SANCTIFY YOU." 12:29 AND A MOMENT AGO I CITED EZEKIEL, IT'S 20:20, "HALLOW MY 12:34 SABBATHS AND THEY SHALL BE A SIGN BETWEEN ME AND YOU THAT YOU 12:39 MIGHT KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD." 12:41 DID IT STOP BEING THE SIGN THAT HE IS OUR REDEEMER AND OUR 12:45 CREATOR AT SOME POINT, OR IS THAT A PERPETUAL SIGN? 12:49 THAT'S WHY GOD TOLD US IN THE COMMANDMENT, "REMEMBER TO KEEP 12:52 THE SABBATH DAY, TO KEEP IT," WHAT? 12:55 "TO KEEP IT HOLY." 12:57 WHY WOULD GOD MAKE SUCH A BIG DEAL ABOUT THE SABBATH? 13:00 BECAUSE YOU AND I LIVE IN SOMETHING CALLED TIME. 13:03 IF YOU HAVE NO MORE TIME, THAT'S BAD NEWS--ISN'T THAT RIGHT? 13:06 WE LIVE IN TIME. 13:08 AND THE SABBATH IS A MEMORIAL THAT GOD GIVES US LIFE, THAT HE 13:12 REDEEMS US, THAT RELATIONSHIPS ARE BUILT IN TIME. 13:15 THE DEVIL HATES IT, BECAUSE AS WE SPEND TIME WITH GOD, 13:18 WE GET TO KNOW GOD. 13:20 AS WE GET TO KNOW HIM, WE LOVE HIM. 13:22 AS WE GET TO KNOW HIM BETTER, WE LOVE HIM BETTER, AND IF YOU 13:24 LOVE HIM THEN YOU OBEY HIM. 13:26 YOU CAN'T OBEY HIM IF YOU DON'T KNOW HIM AND YOU DON'T LOVE HIM. 13:28 DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? 13:30 SO THE DEVIL HATES THAT, BECAUSE THIS IS WHERE PEOPLE FIND 13:33 THE POWER TO LIVE THE CHRISTIAN LIFE--IT'S IN THE RELATIONSHIP 13:36 WITH JESUS. 13:37 AND THE SABBATH IS ALL ABOUT THAT RELATIONSHIP, THAT LOVE, 13:40 THAT TIME, THAT QUALITY TIME WITH GOD. 13:43 IT IS NOT A JEWISH LAW. 13:46 NOW, MY MOTHER WAS JEWISH; GREW UP UNDERSTANDING A LOT 13:50 ABOUT THE RELIGION. 13:51 BUT ONE THING THAT'S REAL CLEAR TO ME IS THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT 13:54 THE SABBATH IS FOR EVERYBODY. 13:56 WHAT DID JESUS SAY, MARK 2:27? 13:59 "THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR?" 14:02 "FOR MAN." 14:03 THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN AN EASY PLACE TO SAY THE SABBATH IS MADE 14:05 FOR JEWS OR FOR HEBREWS OR ISRAELITES. 14:08 HE DOESN'T SAY THAT. 14:08 HE SAYS THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR MAN. 14:10 BECAUSE--AND YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE--HE'S TRACING IT BACK TO 14:13 THE GARDEN OF EDEN, WHEN AFTER GOD MADE MAN ON THE SIXTH DAY, 14:18 THEN HE MADE TIME. 14:21 FOR MAN WITH GOD, THE VERY NEXT THING HE MADE WAS THE SABBATH. 14:25 EVERY MAN NEEDS IT. 14:27 EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD IS RELATED TO ADAM. 14:30 AND IF YOU'RE NOT RELATED TO ADAM, I'D LIKE TO TALK TO 14:31 YOU LATER. 14:34 YOU NEED TO HAVE YOUR DNA CHECKED. 14:37 YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE GOD MADE FOR MAN? 14:39 WOMAN. 14:41 GOD SAID, "IT'S NOT GOOD THAT MAN SHOULD BE ALONE," 14:43 SO HE MADE A WOMAN. 14:43 SO HERE'S THE QUESTION: DO WE STILL NEED WOMEN? 14:50 DO WE STILL NEED THE SABBATH? 14:53 I ALWAYS GET EXTRA VOTES WHEN I DO IT THAT WAY. 14:55 LET'S READ THIS VERSE, ISAIAH 56:6. 14:59 THE SABBATH'S NOT JUST FOR ONE RACE--LISTEN TO THIS. 15:03 "ALSO THE SONS OF THE STRANGER THAT JOIN THEMSELVES TO THE LORD 15:06 TO SERVE HIM." 15:07 THESE ARE STRANGERS, ALIENS, NON-JEWS. 15:10 "TO LOVE THE NAME OF THE LORD, TO BE HIS SERVANTS. 15:13 EVERYONE THAT KEEPS THE SABBATH FROM POLLUTING IT AND TAKES HOLD 15:17 OF MY COVENANT." 15:19 HE'S NOT EVEN TALKING ABOUT THE GENERAL SABBATH DAYS; 15:21 HE SAYS THE SABBATH. 15:22 "EVEN THEM I WILL BRING TO MY HOLY MOUNTAIN AND MAKE THEM 15:26 JOYFUL IN MY HOUSE OF PRAYER." 15:29 IT'S FOR EVERYBODY. 15:32 IN THE EARLY DAYS OF THE CHURCH WHEN PEOPLE CONVERTED TO 15:35 CHRISTIANITY, THEY EMBRACED THE SABBATH ALONG WITH THE OTHER 15:37 PRINCIPLES OF THE BIBLE. 15:39 IT'S A TIME FOR CORPORATE WORSHIP. 15:42 WE NEED THAT, WE NEED TO COME TOGETHER TO FELLOWSHIP, TO EDIFY 15:45 AND BUILD EACH OTHER UP. 15:47 AND THE BIBLE TELLS US IN EXODUS 23 THAT THE SABBATH IS 15:50 A HOLY CONVOCATION. 15:52 THAT WORD "CONVOCATION" MEANS, IT'S LIKE WHERE YOU GET THE WORD 15:55 "CONVENTION," IT MEANS, "AN ASSEMBLY, A CONVENING, 15:58 A COMING TOGETHER." 15:59 AND YET SOMETIMES I MEET PEOPLE, EVEN SABBATH KEEPERS AND BY 16:03 THE WAY, SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS, WE DON'T HAVE A PATENT ON THE 16:06 SABBATH TRUTH; MANY DIFFERENT CHURCHES OUT THERE TODAY THAT 16:08 HAVE LEARNED THE SABBATH TRUTH. 16:10 MATTER OF FACT, I GOT A CALL, WHAT, 2, 3 WEEKS AGO, 16:13 BONNIE, FROM A PASTOR--I WON'T SAY HIS NAME, I DON'T WANT TO 16:16 PUT HIM ON THE SPOT. 16:16 HE LIVES IN AUSTIN, TEXAS; A PENTECOSTAL CHURCH OF GOD 16:20 PASTOR, STUDYING OUR MATERIAL, WATCHING THE PROGRAMS; ACCEPTED 16:25 THE SABBATH TRUTH, PRESENTED IT TO HIS CHURCH. 16:27 THE MAJORITY OF HIS CHURCH ACCEPTED IT--THEY SAID IT'S 16:28 IN THE BIBLE. 16:30 THIS IS A TRUTH THAT'S SPREADING EVERYWHERE. 16:32 I MEAN WE DON'T HAVE A PATENT ON THIS. 16:34 AND SO IT DOES MATTER, IT IS IMPORTANT--IT'S ONE OF 16:39 THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. 16:42 IT SAYS HERE IN OF COURSE EXODUS 20:8 AND ON, TO, 16:50 "REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY, TO KEEP IT HOLY." 16:52 YOU NOTICE GOD DIDN'T SAY, "REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY 16:54 AND START KEEPING IT HOLY." 16:56 HE SAID, "KEEP IT HOLY." 16:58 THAT MEANS IT IS HOLY, HE'S ASKING US TO KEEP WHAT HE HAS 17:01 MADE HOLY, HOLY. 17:03 LET ME ILLUSTRATE. 17:05 IF YOU COME TO MY HOME AND I SAY--I LIVE IN A COLD CLIMATE 17:08 AND IT'S WINTER, AND I SAY, "COULD YOU JUST, OH, YOU KNOW, 17:12 WATCH THE HOUSE FOR A FEW MINUTES, GOTTA RUN TO 17:14 THE STORE--CAN YOU KEEP THE FIRE GOING?" 17:17 "NO PROBLEM, DOUG." 17:18 I SAY, "THERE'S THE WOOD BOX, CAN YOU KEEP THE FIRE GOING?" 17:20 "NO PROBLEM." 17:21 SO I LEAVE AND YOU THINK, "WELL, I BETTER CHECK THE FIRE." 17:23 AND YOU GO OVER AND YOU OPEN UP THE STOVE--THERE'S NO FIRE, 17:25 JUST COLD ASHES. 17:28 AND YOU'RE THINKING TO YOURSELF, "WHY DID DOUG SAY 'KEEP THE FIRE 17:30 GOING,' IF THERE'S NO FIRE?" 17:32 THE VERY FACT THAT I SAY, "KEEP THE FIRE GOING," IMPLIES THERE 17:34 IS A FIRE--YOU JUST KEEP IT GOING. 17:37 GOD IS SAYING THE SABBATH IS HOLY. 17:39 IT DID NOT START BEING HOLY WITH MOSES. 17:42 SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT GOD DREAMED IT UP FOR THE CHILDREN 17:45 OF ISRAEL AT MOUNT SINAI. 17:47 THEY JUST DON'T KNOW THEIR BIBLES VERY WELL--IT GOES ALL 17:49 THE WAY BACK TO ADAM. 17:50 AND PROOF OF THAT WOULD BE IF YOU GO TO EXODUS 16 WHEN 17:53 THE LORD BROUGHT THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL OUT OF EGYPT BEFORE THEY 17:57 EVER GOT TO MOUNT SINAI, IT SAYS, "MOSES SAID TO THEM," 18:01 REMEMBER THEY RAINED THE BREAD DOWN FROM HEAVEN? 18:03 "MOSES SAID TO THEM, 'EAT TODAY WHAT THEY'VE GATHERED, FOR TODAY 18:08 IS THE SABBATH TO THE LORD. 18:11 TODAY YOU WILL NOT FIND IT IN THE FIELD.'" 18:13 THEY WOULD GO OUT, 5 DAYS A WEEK THEY'D GATHER MANNA. 18:16 ON THE SIXTH DAY THEY'D GATHER TWICE AS MUCH BECAUSE THERE 18:19 WOULD BE NO MANNA ON THE SABBATH DAY. 18:23 YET ON THE SABBATH DAY SOME STILL WENT OUT LOOKING FOR 18:25 MANNA, AND GOD SAID, "HOW LONG WILL YOU REFUSE TO KEEP MY 18:27 COMMANDMENTS?" 18:29 NOW, NOTICE YOU FIND THE MANNA STORY IN EXODUS 16, YOU DON'T 18:33 GET TO MOUNT SINAI UNTIL EXODUS 20. 18:36 GOD WAS SAYING, "THE SABBATH IS ONE OF MY LAWS" BEFORE THEY EVER 18:39 GOT TO MOUNT SINAI. 18:41 IT GOES ALL THE WAY BACK TO ADAM AND EVE. 18:44 WE ALL NEED REST, THAT'S NOT JUST A JEWISH NEED. 18:47 THAT'S ABSURD FOR PEOPLE TO SAY THAT THIS IS A JEWISH LAW. 18:50 WHAT, DID GOD GET IT WRONG AT CREATION, HE HAD TO CHANGE 18:53 IT LATER? 18:54 IT WAS PART OF HIS PERFECT PLAN. 18:56 WHAT ABOUT THE NEW TESTAMENT WOULD MEAN THERE WOULD SOMETHING 18:59 WRONG WITH THE DAY? 19:00 WHICH BRINGS ME TO MY NEXT QUESTION--WHICH DAY OF THE WEEK 19:03 IS THE SABBATH? 19:05 I'VE ALREADY TOLD YOU, BUT LET'S READ IT ONE MORE TIME. 19:07 IT SAYS, GENESIS 2, "ON THE," SAY IT WITH ME, "SEVENTH DAY 19:12 GOD ENDED HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD DONE. 19:14 HE RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD 19:19 DONE, AND THEN GOD BLESSED THE SEVENTH DAY AND SANCTIFIED IT, 19:23 BECAUSE IN IT HE HAD RESTED FROM ALL HIS WORK WHICH GOD CREATED 19:26 AND HE HAD DONE." 19:28 FIRST TIME IN THE BIBLE ANY NUMBER IS MENTIONED THREE TIMES 19:30 AS IN CONNECTION WITH THE SABBATH. 19:32 IT SAYS, "THE SEVENTH DAY, THE SEVENTH DAY, THE SEVENTH DAY." 19:36 NOW, IF YOU'VE GOT CAVEMAN THEOLOGY, WHENEVER YOU HEAR A 19:41 NUMBER LIKE THAT, 777, WHAT POPS INTO MY MIND--WHAT'S THE MARK OF 19:44 THE BEAST? 19:45 SIX-SIX-SIX. 19:47 ONE OF THE IDENTIFYING MARKS, WE JUST READ ONE OF THE SIGNS, ONE 19:51 OF THE SEALS THAT YOU BELONG TO GOD IS THE SABBATH. 19:55 THAT NUMBER, SEVEN, IS A SIGN THAT YOU ARE RESTING IN THE 19:59 LORD; YOU'RE TRUSTING IN HIM. 20:01 NOW, YOU NOTICE GOD DIDN'T-- HE DIDN'T SAY KEEP 20:04 A SEVENTH DAY. 20:05 AND THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST COMMON ARGUMENTS. 20:07 AFTER I START STUDYING WITH PEOPLE, IT'S INTERESTING TO 20:10 WATCH PEOPLE KEEP CHANGING THEIR POSITIONS TO AVOID THE SABBATH 20:12 TRUTH. 20:13 OKAY, WAIT A SECOND, LET ME JUST SAY SOMETHING HERE. 20:16 I ALWAYS FORGET THIS. 20:18 I GET SO WORKED UP OVER THIS SUBJECT. 20:21 I FORGET HOW IT DISTURBED ME WHEN I FIRST HEARD IT. 20:25 PLEASE FORGIVE ME, FRIENDS, IF I'M NOT BEING GRACIOUS. 20:29 I KNOW IT CAN BE VERY DISTURBING WHEN PEOPLE HEAR THIS. 20:31 IT'S SUCH A COMPELLING--FOR ME IT SEEMS TO BE SUCH COMPELLING 20:33 EVIDENCE THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE BLOWN AWAY AND THEY DON'T KNOW 20:36 WHAT TO DO. 20:38 BECAUSE ACCEPTING THE SABBATH TRUTH FOR THEM CAN MEAN LOSING 20:41 THEIR FRIENDS, THEIR FELLOWSHIP, THEY COULD BE PUT OUT OF THEIR 20:44 CHURCH, THEY CAN LOSE THEIR JOBS; IT CAN MEAN TREMENDOUS 20:46 CHANGE IN THEIR LIVES. 20:48 AND I'VE ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN PEOPLE DISCOVER THE SABBATH 20:51 TRUTH, THEY START GOING THROUGH A STRUGGLE, BECAUSE THEY BEGIN 20:54 TO SAY, "CAN I AFFORD TO BELIEVE THIS?" 20:58 I'D LIKE TO PLEAD WITH YOU RIGHT NOW--DON'T THINK THAT WAY. 21:02 OPEN YOUR HEART, OPEN YOUR MIND AND SAY, "LORD, FIRST LET ME 21:04 JUST ASK THE HONEST QUESTIONS, IS IT TRUE?" 21:08 BE OPEN TO THE LOGIC OF GOD'S WORD. 21:12 IT SAYS, "COME LET US REASON TOGETHER." 21:15 USE YOUR HEAD, ASK YOURSELF IF IT MAKES SENSE. 21:18 IF IT'S TRUE THEN SAY, "LORD, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA DO 21:20 ABOUT IT, BUT PLEASE GIVE ME GRACE AND GUIDE ME." 21:22 GOD DOES NOT SEND THE SABBATH TRUTH TO BE A BURDEN FOR YOU. 21:25 HE SENDS IT TO BE A BLESSING. 21:27 HE DOESN'T WANT IT TO BE A PROBLEM--IT'S A PRIVILEGE. 21:31 AND SO JUST LOOK AT THIS HONESTLY, AMEN? 21:34 HE DOESN'T SAY, "KEEP A SABBATH DAY." 21:38 IT'S LIKE IF I WERE TO SAY, "CAN YOU BRING ME A CHAIR?" 21:41 WELL, YOU COULD GRAB ANY OLD CHAIR, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT 21:43 COLOR IT IS, AND BRING IT TO ME. 21:45 BUT IF I SAY, "BRING ME THE CHAIR," WELL, YOU KNOW I'M 21:48 TALKING ABOUT A SPECIFIC CHAIR. 21:51 IT DOESN'T SAY "A SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH," GOD SAYS, 21:53 "THE SEVENTH DAY." 21:55 ISN'T THAT WHAT HE SAYS? 21:56 AND HE MEANS WHAT HE SAYS-- HE'S GOD. 21:59 NOW, IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS AND YOU THINK I'M TEACHING SOMETHING 22:01 BIASED, THERE'S NO QUESTION ABOUT WHAT THE SEVENTH DAY 22:03 IS--IT'S WHAT WE COMMONLY CALL SATURDAY. 22:05 IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE PASTOR DOUG, MAYBE YOU'LL 22:07 BELIEVE WEBSTER. 22:09 YOU LOOK AT WEBSTER'S DICTIONARY, SATURDAY 22:11 THE SEVENTH DAY OF THE WEEK. 22:13 IT'S VERY SIMPLE. 22:15 AND IF YOU'RE WONDERING, "WELL, WHAT IS SUNDAY? 22:16 I THOUGHT SUNDAY WAS THE SEVENTH DAY?" 22:18 NO--SUNDAY, THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK. 22:21 YOU CHECK ON ME. 22:22 NOW, SOMETIMES PEOPLE JUGGLE CALENDARS A LITTLE BIT, 22:25 DEPENDING ON WHAT COUNTRY YOU'RE IN, BUT IT DOESN'T CHANGE 22:27 THE DAYS OF THE WEEK. 22:29 AND I CAN SET UP MY COMPUTER WHERE IT STARTS ON THE WORKING 22:32 DAYS OF MONDAY, BUT THAT DOESN'T MAKE MONDAY THE FIRST DAY OF 22:34 THE WEEK. 22:35 PEOPLE DO ALL KINDS OF THINGS TRYING TO JUGGLE THAT. 22:38 SOME PEOPLE SAY, "WELL, DOUG, NOBODY REALLY KNOWS ANYMORE WHAT 22:40 WAS THE SEVENTH DAY OF CREATION, BECAUSE AFTER ALL CALENDARS 22:43 BEEN CHANGED MANY TIMES AND WHO KNOWS ANYMORE?" 22:46 HAVE YOU HEARD THAT ARGUMENT BEFORE? 22:48 THAT IS A MYTH. 22:49 THAT IS ABSURD WHEN YOU REALLY THINK ABOUT IT. 22:52 HAS THE CALENDAR BEEN CHANGED? 22:54 MANY TIMES THE MONTHS AND DATES ON THE CALENDAR HAVE BEEN 22:58 CHANGED. 22:59 THAT NEVER HAS ANY EFFECT ON THE DAYS OF THE WEEK. 23:03 I'LL SHOW YOU IN JUST A MINUTE WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. 23:05 SOMEONE WROTE YEARS AGO THE U.S. 23:06 NAVAL OBSERVATORY WITH THIS QUESTION, ASKING IF THE CHANGES 23:10 IN THE CALENDAR IN RECENT YEARS HAVE AFFECTED THE WEEKLY CYCLE. 23:15 AND THEY RESPONDED FROM THE U.S. 23:17 NAVAL OBSERVATORY, "THERE HAS BEEN NO CHANGE IN THE CONTINUITY 23:21 OF THE WEEKLY CYCLE SINCE LONG BEFORE THE CHRISTIAN ERA." 23:24 THE CONTINUITY OF THE WEEKLY CYCLE MEANING THE FIRST, SECOND, 23:28 THIRD, FOURTH, FIFTH, SIXTH, SEVENTH DAY OF THE WEEK, AND IT 23:30 JUST KEEPS CYCLING. 23:32 FOR INSTANCE, THERE WAS A CHANGE IN THE CALENDAR, WE'RE NOW 23:34 LIVING UNDER THE GREGORIAN CALENDAR. 23:36 AND I THINK IT WAS 1582, POPE GREGORY THE XIII CHANGED, 23:40 AND IT WAS LIKE OCTOBER 5TH, FRIDAY, AND THE NEXT DAY WAS 23:43 SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15TH. 23:45 IT WENT FROM THE 5TH TO THE 15TH, THEY ADDED TEN DAYS. 23:48 AND IT WAS REALLY AN ASTRONOMICAL CHANGE THEY 23:50 NEEDED TO MAKE--THERE WASN'T ANY CONSPIRACY. 23:53 THEY WERE DOING IT FOR THE SEASONS AND FOR FARMING. 23:56 BUT WHEN HE CHANGED THE 5TH OF OCTOBER TO THE 15TH, HE CHANGED 24:00 THE CALENDAR, IT DID NOTHING TO THE DAYS OF THE WEEK. 24:04 FRIDAY WAS FOLLOWED BY SATURDAY. 24:06 SEE WHAT I'M SAYING? 24:07 THAT'S WHY YOUR BIRTHDAY MIGHT BE ON A DIFFERENT DAY OF 24:08 THE WEEK EVERY YEAR. 24:10 BECAUSE PEOPLE LOOK AT A CALENDAR AND THEY SEE THE DAYS 24:12 OF THE WEEK ON A CALENDAR, AND THEY SEE THE MONTH, THEY THINK 24:16 WHEN YOU CHANGE THE MONTH IT AFFECTS THE WEEK. 24:18 IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WEEK. 24:20 SO THAT ARGUMENT REALLY HOLDS NO WATER AT ALL. 24:23 THEN, YOU KNOW, FOR ME WHAT'S ONE OF THE VERY COMPELLING 24:25 ARGUMENTS IS IN THE BIBLE IT TELLS US WHAT DAY THE SEVENTH 24:29 DAY IS. 24:30 IF YOU READ IN LUKE 23:54-24, WHEN CHRIST DIED, IT SAYS, 24:36 "THEY RETURNED AND PREPARED SPICES AND OINTMENTS, AND THEY 24:38 RESTED THE SABBATH DAY ACCORDING TO THE COMMANDMENT." 24:44 BY THE WAY, THIS WAS WRITTEN BY LUKE, A GENTILE, WRITTEN 24:46 20 YEARS AFTER THE CROSS. 24:48 IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD PLACE FOR HIM TO INTRODUCE THE NEW 24:50 CHRISTIAN SABBATH IF THERE WAS ONE--BUT HE DOESN'T. 24:55 AND I THINK IT'S INTERESTING THAT JESUS CHOSE FRIDAY 24:57 AFTERNOON AS THE SABBATH WAS ABOUT TO BEGIN, TO SAY, 25:01 "IT IS FINISHED." 25:04 HE WENT TO SLEEP, HE RESTED THROUGH THE SABBATH FROM HIS 25:07 WORK OF SAVING MANKIND, AND HE ROSE SUNDAY TO CONTINUE HIS WORK 25:11 AS OUR HIGH PRIEST, NOT TO ESTABLISH A NEW DAY OF REST. 25:14 JESUS EVEN KEPT THE SABBATH IN HIS DEATH! 25:18 >> STAY TUNED, PASTOR DOUG WILL BE RIGHT BACK WITH THIS WEEK'S 25:21 SPECIAL FREE OFFER. 25:26 >> WHY WON'T BIBLE CHRISTIANS TAKE A STAND?
