00:00 >> COMING UP NEXT ON
00:09 "AMAZING FACTS PRESENTS." 00:11 >> WHY WON'T BIBLE CHRISTIANS TAKE A STAND? 00:15 SO MANY CHRISTIAN MOVEMENTS HAVE COME OUT OF THE DARK AGES BACK 00:18 TO THE BIBLE, BUT THEY STOPPED WITH ONE OF GOD'S COMMANDMENTS, 00:21 THE ONE THAT DEALS WITH THE LOVE RELATIONSHIP AND GIVING GOD 00:25 YOUR TIME AND YOUR LIFE. 00:31 >> FOR OVER 40 YEARS, "AMAZING FACTS" HAS BEEN 00:33 DEDICATED TO SHARING GOD'S WORD THROUGH MEDIA. 00:36 THIS PROGRAM FEATURES HIGHLIGHTS FROM SOME OF OUR BEST TELEVISION 00:40 BROADCASTS. 00:43 WE INVITE YOU TO SIT BACK AND ENJOY THIS EDITION OF 00:46 "AMAZING FACTS PRESENTS." 00:59 >> SO, YOU LOOK IN THE BIBLE AND COMMONLY, WE THINK OF FRIDAY, 01:01 THEY CALL IT "GOOD FRIDAY" WAS THE DAY HE WAS CRUCIFIED. 01:04 IT'S THE PREPARATION DAY, THE BIBLE SAYS. 01:06 HE RESTED IN THE TOMB ON THE SABBATH. 01:08 THE SABBATH WAS ABOUT TO BEGIN. 01:09 AFTER THE SABBATH WAS PASSED, THEY CAME TO THE TOMB AS 01:12 THE FIRST DAY BEGAN TO DAWN. 01:13 THAT WOULD BE WHAT WE COMMONLY CALL "SUNDAY MORNING." 01:16 I HAVE NO DISPUTE THAT JESUS ROSE SUNDAY MORNING. 01:18 THE QUESTION IS: DOES THAT MAKE IT A NEW SABBATH DAY? 01:21 JESUS DIED ON FRIDAY. 01:24 DOES THAT MAKE THAT A NEW SABBATH DAY? 01:26 THE LORD'S SUPPER WAS CELEBRATED ON A THURSDAY. 01:29 DOES THAT MAKE THAT A NEW SABBATH DAY? 01:30 JESUS DID WONDERFUL THINGS ON MANY DIFFERENT DAYS OF THE WEEK, 01:33 BUT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE ORIGINAL SABBATH. 01:35 WHY WOULD HE CHANGE IT? 01:37 DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? 01:39 SOMEBODY PLEASE SAY AMEN. 01:41 I REALIZE WE'RE NOT IN A CHURCH, BUT IT'LL HELP ME. 01:44 SO, WE KNOW THE DAY BETWEEN FRIDAY WHEN HE DIED ON THE CROSS 01:48 AND SUNDAY WHEN HE ROSE IS WHAT DAY? 01:51 WHAT'S BETWEEN FRIDAY AND SUNDAY? 01:52 QUICK. 01:53 SATURDAY, THERE YOU GO. 01:54 IT HASN'T CHANGED. 01:56 AS A MATTER OF FACT, MOST CHRISTIANS THAT GO TO CHURCH ON 01:59 SUNDAY, THEY HAVE NO DISPUTE THAT SUNDAY'S THE FIRST DAY OF 02:02 THE WEEK. 02:03 THEY JUST ARGUE THEIR REASONS FOR KEEPING IT THAT DAY, 02:05 BUT THEY STILL FAIL TO PRODUCE A COMMANDMENT. 02:08 AND THEN, ONE OF THE OTHER, FOR ME, COMPELLING ARGUMENTS 02:11 ABOUT WHAT DAY IT IS IS YOU'VE GOT A WHOLE RACE OF PEOPLE 02:14 AROUND THE WORLD, WHAT DID I SAY LAST NIGHT? 02:17 FIFTEEN MILLION JEWS AROUND THE WORLD AND THEY KNOW WHAT 02:20 THEIR HOLY DAY IS AND IT HAS NOT CHANGED EVER SINCE AT LEAST 02:24 THE EXODUS, RIGHT? 02:27 YOU THINK I COULD SEE ONE OR TWO PEOPLE GOING INTO A COMA 02:30 AND WAKING UP AND FORGETTING THE DAYS OF THE WEEK. 02:31 BUT FOR THE WHOLE NATION TO FORGET IS NOT VERY LIKELY. 02:35 WE KNOW WHAT DAY THE SEVENTH DAY IS. 02:37 WE ALSO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. 02:39 AS A MATTER OF FACT, IN A 108 LANGUAGES OF THE WORLD, THE WORD 02:42 FOR WHAT WE CALL "SATURDAY" IS "SABBATH." 02:46 ANYONE HERE SPEAK SPANISH? 02:47 "SABADO," SABBATH DAY, THAT'S SPANISH, SEVENTH DAY OF 02:51 THE WEEK, SATURDAY. 02:53 RUSSIAN, "SUBOTA," AND MANY MANY OTHER LANGUAGES WHERE 02:56 I'VE BEEN IT'S SABBATH DAY. 02:59 THEY CALL IT THE "SABBATH." 02:59 THE WORD FOR THE SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH, EVEN THOUGH THEY 03:01 MAY GO TO CHURCH ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK. 03:04 WHEN DOES THE SABBATH BEGIN? 03:05 DO WE START KEEPING THE SABBATH MIDNIGHT OR TWO IN THE MORNING 03:07 WHEN THE DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME CHANGES? 03:09 IT TELLS US CLEARLY IN THE BIBLE, LEVITICUS 23:32, 03:14 "FROM EVENING TO EVENING, YOU'LL CELEBRATE YOUR SABBATH." 03:17 IT BEGINS AT SUNDOWN. 03:18 AGAIN, MARK 1:32, AND "AT EVENING, WHEN THE SUN HAD SET, 03:23 THEY BROUGHT TO HIM ALL THOSE WHO WERE SICK," THEY WAITED 'TIL 03:26 THE SABBATH WAS OVER AT SUNDOWN "AND HE HEALED THE SICK AND 03:31 THOSE WHO WERE DEMON-POSSESSED." 03:33 NOW, THE BIG QUESTION IS IF WE'RE CHRISTIANS, 03:36 WE FOLLOW CHRIST. 03:39 WHAT DAY, QUESTION FOUR, DID JESUS KEEP AS THE SABBATH? 03:42 IT SAYS IN MARK 6:2, "AND WHEN THE SABBATH DAY WAS COME, 03:46 HE BEGAN TO TEACH IN THE SYNAGOGUE." 03:49 JESUS HAD A PATTERN OF TEACHING IN THE SYNAGOGUE. 03:51 HE WENT TO SYNAGOGUE, MEANS GATHERING. 03:53 HE WENT TO THE CHURCH ON THE SABBATH DAY. 03:54 IN LUKE 4:16, "SO HE CAME TO NAZARETH, WHERE HE HAD BEEN 03:59 BROUGHT UP." 04:00 AND AS HIS CUSTOM WAS, HE WENT INTO THE SYNAGOGUE ON 04:03 THE SABBATH DAY AND HE STOOD TO READ. 04:05 JESUS WENT TO CHURCH ON THE SABBATH DAY. 04:09 HE READ THE SCRIPTURES ON THE SABBATH DAY. 04:11 IF YOU FOLLOW HIS PATTERN AND HE NEVER TOLD THE DISCIPLES 04:13 TO DO ANYTHING OTHERWISE. 04:16 AS A MATTER OF FACT, CHRIST, WHEN TALKING ABOUT THE END OF 04:18 THE WORLD, HE SAID THAT WE SHOULD PRAY, MATTHEW 24:20, 04:22 "PRAY THAT YOUR FLIGHT MIGHT NOT BE IN THE WINTER OR ON 04:24 THE SABBATH DAY." 04:25 JESUS, LOOKING DOWN IN HISTORY, PROPHESIED HIS PEOPLE WOULD 04:29 STILL BE KEEPING THE SABBATH AND THEY WOULD PRAY THEY WOULD 04:32 NOT HAVE TO FLEE ON THAT DAY. 04:35 THAT TELLS US SOMETHING ABOUT HIS RECOGNIZING HOW IMPORTANT 04:37 IT IS. 04:38 SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT JESUS CAME TO DO AWAY WITH THE SABBATH 04:40 BECAUSE OCCASIONALLY, HE'D HEAL PEOPLE OR DO THINGS LIKE THAT. 04:44 HE'D DO DEEDS OF GOODNESS ON THE SABBATH. 04:46 YES, HE CAME TO HELP TAKE AWAY SOME OF THE MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT 04:50 THE SABBATH. 04:51 HE CLARIFIED THE SABBATH TRUTH BECAUSE THERE WERE A NUMBER 04:54 OF MAN-MADE LAWS THAT HAD BEEN ATTACHED TO IT, BUT HE 04:57 DID NOT DO AWAY WITH IT. 04:59 IT'S STILL HOLY. 05:00 HE KEPT IT BY HIS EXAMPLE. 05:01 NUMBER FIVE, DID EARLY CHRISTIANS KEEP THE SABBATH? 05:05 IT SAYS IN ACTS 17:1, "THEY CAME TO THESSALONICA, WHERE THERE WAS 05:10 A SYNAGOGUE OF THE JEWS. 05:12 AND THEN PAUL AS HIS CUSTOM WAS, WENT TO THEM, AND FOR THREE 05:16 SABBATHS HE REASONED WITH THEM FROM THE SCRIPTURES." 05:19 AND NOT ONLY DID HE DO IT WITH THE JEWS, IT SAYS THEN, 05:24 "THE GENTILES BEGGED THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE THESE WORDS PREACHED 05:26 TO THEM THE NEXT SABBATH." 05:28 JEW, GENTILE, THEY MET ON THE SABBATH DAY IN 05:30 THE NEW TESTAMENT. 05:32 AS A MATTER OF FACT, I UNDERSTAND YOU CAN FIND OVER 05:34 100 EXAMPLES IF YOU ADD THEM UP OF THE DISCIPLES KEEPING 05:37 THE SEVENTH-DAY SABBATH IN THE NEW TESTAMENT. 05:40 YOU GO TO ACTS 13:44, "ON THE NEXT SABBATH ALMOST THE WHOLE 05:44 CITY CAME TOGETHER TO HEAR THE WORD OF GOD," JEW AND GENTILE. 05:48 ACTS 16:13, OF COURSE AGAIN WRITTEN BY LUKE, A GENTILE, 05:53 "AND ON THE SABBATH WE," LUKE COULD'VE SAID, "YOU KNOW, WE 05:57 WERE KEEPING THE JEWISH SABBATH, THE OLD JEWISH SABBATH, IF 05:59 THERE'S A NEW DAY--" THEY NEVER SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THAT BECAUSE 06:03 THEY ALL UNDERSTOOD WHAT DAY IT WAS. 06:05 "AND ON THE SABBATH DAY WE WENT OUT OF THE CITY TO A RIVERSIDE, 06:08 WHERE PRAYER WAS CUSTOMARILY MADE; AND WE SAT DOWN AND WE 06:11 SPOKE TO THE WOMEN WHO MET THERE." 06:13 ALL THROUGH THE ROMAN EMPIRE, THEY KNEW THAT GOD'S PEOPLE KEPT 06:16 THE SEVENTH-DAY SABBATH. 06:18 ONE OF THE GREATEST ARGUMENTS, I THINK, ABOUT THE PRACTICE IN 06:21 THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH IS IN LUKE 23:56, WHEN CHRIST DIED 06:27 AND THEY WERE NOT FINISHED EMBALMING HIS BODY WITH THEIR 06:30 INCREDIBLE LOVE FOR HIM, THEY STILL WOULD NOT VIOLATE 06:35 THE SACRED HOURS OF THE SABBATH TO EMBALM HIS BODY. 06:38 SO MANY PEOPLE WOULD ARGUE TODAY, "WELL, THE OX IS IN 06:41 THE DITCH, WE REALLY OUGHT TO FINISH UP WHAT WE'RE DOING." 06:43 HIS DISCIPLES, FROM SPENDING 3 1/2 YEARS WITH JESUS, 06:46 KNEW THAT HE WOULD NOT BE PLEASED WITH THAT. 06:48 SO, THEY WAITED UNTIL SUNDAY MORNING TO FINISH, WHY? 06:50 BECAUSE THEY BELIEVED THAT IT WOULD DISPLEASE THE LORD FOR 06:54 THEM TO VIOLATE IT IN THAT WAY OR AT LEAST THEY THOUGHT IT WAS 06:56 A VIOLATION. 06:57 THEY NEVER GOT ANY IDEA FROM JESUS THAT IT HAD BEEN DONE AWAY 06:59 WITH OR WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT? 07:03 NUMBER SIX, ARE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS STILL VALID TODAY? 07:08 I BELIEVE THEY ARE, FRIENDS. 07:10 JESUS SAID, "IT'S EASIER," LUKE 16:17, "FOR HEAVEN 07:14 AND EARTH TO PASS, THAN FOR ONE TITTLE OF THE LAW TO FAIL." 07:19 GOD'S LAW'S PERFECT. 07:20 GOD'S LAW DOES NOT NEED TO BE CHANGED. 07:22 THE PURPOSE OF THE GOSPEL IS TO TRANSFORM US. 07:24 WE ARE WHAT NEEDS CHANGING, FRIENDS, YET SO MANY IN 07:27 THE CHURCH ARE TRYING TO CHANGE THE STANDARDS OF GOD TO 07:30 ACCOMMODATE MAN'S SINFULNESS. 07:33 NO, THE PURPOSE OF THE GOSPEL IS TO LIFT MAN UP FROM HIS 07:35 SINFULNESS TO GOD'S PURITY. 07:37 AMEN. 07:39 REVELATION 22:14, "BLESSED ARE THOSE," BLESSING IN THE SABBATH, 07:43 "WHO DO HIS COMMANDMENTS, THAT THEY MAY HAVE THE RIGHT TO 07:47 THE TREE OF LIFE, AND ENTER THROUGH THE GATES OF THE CITY." 07:50 GOD EXPECTS HIS PEOPLE TO KEEP THEM. 07:53 AGAIN, HEBREWS 13:8, GOD'S LAW IS NOT CHANGED, "JESUS CHRIST IS 07:58 THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY AND FOREVER." 08:02 AND AGAIN IN MALACHI 3:6, HE SAYS, "I AM THE LORD, 08:06 I CHANGE NOT." 08:07 YOU KNOW, THAT'S ONE REASON THAT WE WENT WITH THIS THEME OF ROCK 08:10 FOR THIS SERIES. 08:12 THE WORD OF GOD IS LIKE A ROCK. 08:13 CHRIST IS OUR ROCK, AND THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ARE 08:15 WRITTEN ON A ROCK. 08:16 IT DOESN'T CHANGE. 08:18 GOD COULD'VE USED PAPER. 08:19 CEREMONIAL LAWS WERE WRITTEN ON SOME OTHER PARCHMENT OR LETTER, 08:23 BUT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS GOD WROTE HIMSELF, SPOKE WITH HIS 08:26 OWN VOICE, WROTE IT IN STONE. 08:28 IF HE WAS GOING TO CHANGE ONE OF THEM, I DON'T KNOW THAT HE 08:30 WOULD'VE DONE IT THAT WAY IF IT WAS TEMPORARY OR PASSING 08:33 IN NATURE. 08:35 BUT IT WAS BECAUSE OF ITS PERMANENT NATURE THAT HE DID 08:37 IT THAT WAY. 08:39 RIGHT NOW, WE'RE LIVING IN THE TIME OF THE NEW COVENANT. 08:41 OLD COVENANT WAS THE LAW OF GOD WRITTEN ON THE STONE. 08:44 THE NEW COVENANT, HE SAYS, "I'LL WRITE MY LAW ON THEIR HEARTS." 08:47 YOU NOTICE HE DOESN'T SAY A DIFFERENT LAW. 08:49 IT'S THE SAME LAW, BUT IT'S WRITTEN IN THE HEART NOW. 08:52 LOVE IS THE FULFILLING OF THE LAW. 08:55 IF YOU LOVE GOD, YOU'LL KEEP THE FIRST FOUR. 08:58 IF YOU LOVE YOUR FELLOW MAN, YOU'LL KEEP THE LAST SIX. 09:01 NUMBER SEVEN, DOES ONE COMMANDMENT MATTER? 09:05 I MEAN AS LONG AS YOU'RE DOING 90%, THAT'S NOT SO BAD, IS IT? 09:09 YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND YOU GET 09:11 A 90, YOU FEEL PRETTY GOOD. 09:14 IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY WITH GOD'S LAW. 09:16 JAMES 2:10, "FOR WHOSOEVER SHALL KEEP THE WHOLE LAW, 09:20 AND YET OFFEND IN ONE POINT, HE IS GUILTY OF ALL." 09:22 THOSE OF YOU WHO THINK THAT 90% IS OKAY, WELL THAT DEPENDS ON 09:27 WHICH LAW IT IS. 09:29 I DON'T THINK THERE'S TOO MANY HERE THAT WOULD THINK THAT THE 09:31 SEVENTH COMMANDMENT YOU DON'T MIND AS LONG AS YOUR SPOUSE 09:33 KEEPS THE OTHER NINE, THEY CAN BREAK THE SEVENTH. 09:36 YOU ALL KNOW WHAT THE SEVENTH IS? 09:38 THAT'S THE ONE ABOUT ADULTERY, 90%. 09:40 WOULD YOU ACCEPT THAT ARGUMENT? 09:41 "I'M KEEPING 90%, DEAR." 09:44 HOW MANY OF YOU WOULD ACCEPT THAT ARGUMENT? 09:47 YOU SEE, BECAUSE IF YOU LOVE SOMEBODY, YOU WOULDN'T EVEN 09:50 THINK OF OFFERING THAT AS A SUGGESTION. 09:52 GOD IS SAYING, "WHAT ABOUT YOUR TIME WITH ME? 09:55 YOU'RE GOING TO TELL ME THAT ONE DOESN'T MATTER?" 09:57 IT'S A SERIOUS THING. 09:59 JESUS SAID IN MATTHEW 5:19, "WHOSOEVER THEREFORE SHALL BREAK 10:03 ONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE COMMANDMENTS," SPECIFICALLY OR 10:07 AT LEAST THE TEN, "AND SHALL TEACH MEN SO, HE WILL BE CALLED 10:12 THE LEAST IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN: BUT WHOSOEVER SHALL DO 10:16 AND TEACH THEM, THE SAME SHALL BE CALLED GREAT IN THE KINGDOM 10:19 OF HEAVEN." 10:21 SEE, WHENEVER YOU'RE IN DOUBT ABOUT WHAT TO DO, FIRST OF ALL, 10:24 FOLLOW JESUS' EXAMPLE AND YOU'RE SAFE. 10:26 SECONDLY, DO THE SAFE THING. 10:29 I KNOW THAT I'M NOT IN TROUBLE COME JUDGMENT DAY BECAUSE I'M 10:31 KEEPING THE FOURTH COMMANDMENT ALONG WITH THE OTHER NINE. 10:37 AND IT ALWAYS STRIKES ME AS VERY STRANGE. 10:39 I'VE PREACHED IN MANY DIFFERENT CHURCHES. 10:42 I'VE PREACHED IN NAZARENE, FOURSQUARE, ASSEMBLY OF GOD, 10:45 BAPTIST, CHURCH OF CHRIST, METHODIST, I'VE LOST COUNT. 10:48 I'VE SPOKEN IN MANY DIFFERENT CHURCHES. 10:50 THAT'S WHY I KNOW THAT THERE ARE GODLY, SPIRIT-LED, LOVELY PEOPLE 10:55 IN THESE DIFFERENT CHURCHES. 10:56 SOME HAVE JUST NOT HEARD THE TRUTH. 10:58 JESUS SAID, "I'VE GOT OTHER SHEEP THAT ARE NOT OF THIS FOLD, 11:00 BUT THEY'RE GOING TO HEAR MY VOICE AND THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE 11:02 A STAND IN THE LAST DAYS." 11:05 BUT I ALWAYS THINK IT'S ODD. 11:07 I KNOW THESE CHURCHES. 11:08 I KNOW WHAT THEY BELIEVE. 11:09 I COULD GO TO MOST OF THOSE CHURCHES AND I COULD SAY, "THANK 11:12 YOU FOR INVITING ME TO PREACH. 11:13 TODAY, I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT NOT WORSHIPPING OTHER GODS," 11:15 AND I'D GET A LOT OF AMENS. 11:18 I COULD TALK ABOUT NOT STEALING. 11:20 I COULD TALK ABOUT ANY OF THE OTHER NINE COMMANDMENTS, AND I'D 11:24 PROBABLY GET A HEARTY AMEN. 11:25 OF COURSE, THERE IS ONE CHURCH IF I TALKED ABOUT IDOLATRY, 11:27 THEY'D BE UNCOMFORTABLE. 11:29 BUT THE OTHERS, 90%, THEY'D BE VERY, VERY HAPPY WITH. 11:33 BUT IF I WERE TO START SAYING, "KEEP THE SABBATH DAY," 11:35 THEY'D ACTUALLY BE OKAY. 11:37 BUT IF I SAID, "ON THE DAY THAT GOD BLESSED, THE SEVENTH DAY," 11:40 THEY WOULD BE--THEY'D FOLD THEIR ARMS. 11:43 THEY'D SIT BACK IN THEIR CHAIRS. 11:44 THEY'D SAY, "LEGALISM! 11:45 NOT UNDER THE LAW!" 11:47 DOESN'T THAT SOUND STRANGE? 11:49 SOMETHING STRANGE ON THE RANGE, AS THEY SAY, AMONG CHRISTIANS 11:52 THAT WOULD BE NERVOUS AND SO RESTLESS ABOUT KEEPING ONE OF 11:57 GOD'S COMMANDMENTS. 11:59 IT'S A SERIOUS SIN. 12:01 ONE TIME, A MAN DURING THE EXODUS EXPERIENCE WAS CAUGHT 12:05 BREAKING THE SABBATH AND MOSES WASN'T SURE WHAT TO DO. 12:07 THEY BROUGHT THE CASE BEFORE THE LORD. 12:09 AND YOU KNOW WHAT GOD SAID? 12:10 "BRING HIM BEFORE THE PEOPLE AND STONE HIM TO DEATH." 12:14 NOW, WE DON'T LIVE IN THAT SOCIETY TODAY. 12:16 THEY WOULD STONE WHEN PEOPLE WOULD BREAK A NUMBER OF 12:18 THE COMMANDMENTS. 12:19 IT WAS CAPITAL PUNISHMENT, ESPECIALLY THE FIRST FOUR 12:21 COMMANDMENTS; CAPITAL PUNISHMENT WHEN GOD WAS RIGHT IN THEIR 12:24 MIDST. 12:25 BUT THE SABBATH COMMANDMENT, HOW IMPORTANT DOES GOD FEEL 12:29 ABOUT THAT? 12:31 DOES HE FEEL LIKE IT'S LESS OF A SIN NOW? 12:34 SOME OF US HAVE JUST THOUGHT, "WELL, YOU KNOW, IT'S A LITTLE 12:37 COMMANDMENT." 12:38 WHAT DID JESUS SAY? 12:39 "WHOSOEVER SHALL BREAK ONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE." 12:41 IT'S A NOT A LITTLE ONE, TRUST ME, FRIENDS. 12:43 IF IT WAS SO LITTLE, THE DEVIL WOULDN'T HATE IT SO MUCH. 12:46 YOU'RE USUALLY SAFE LOVING WHAT THE DEVIL HATES. 12:49 DID YOU CATCH THAT? 12:51 WILL WE KEEP THE SABBATH IN ETERNITY? 12:53 ISAIAH 66:22, IT SAYS, "FOR AS THE NEW HEAVENS AND THE NEW 12:58 EARTH, THAT I WILL MAKE, SHALL REMAIN BEFORE ME, SAITH 13:01 THE LORD, SO SHALL YOUR SEED AND YOUR NAME REMAIN." 13:05 AND HE'S TALKING ABOUT THE NEW HEAVENS AND THE NEW EARTH. 13:06 "AND IT WILL COME TO PASS, THAT FROM ONE NEW MOON TO 13:09 ANOTHER," AND IT GOES ON TO SAY, "FROM ONE SABBATH TO ANOTHER, 13:13 SHALL ALL FLESH," DOES IT SAY ALL JEWS? 13:16 "ALL FLESH COME AND WORSHIP BEFORE ME," IN HEAVEN. 13:21 AND WHO DO YOU THINK THE PREACHER WILL BE WHEN WE 13:23 GO TO CHURCH IN HEAVEN? 13:25 JESUS. 13:26 AND WILL ANYBODY SLEEP DURING THE SERMON AT THAT POINT? 13:29 NO. 13:31 NOW, FOLLOW ME PLEASE. 13:35 WE ALREADY KNOW THAT GOD CREATED THE SABBATH BACK IN 13:37 THE BEGINNING WITH ADAM. 13:39 WE KNOW THAT THEY KEPT IT, IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, WHENEVER THEY 13:42 FORGOT ABOUT IT, THE LORD WOULD REMIND THEM. 13:45 WE KNOW THAT JESUS AND THE APOSTLES KEPT IT. 13:48 I COULD SHOW YOU FROM HISTORY THAT THE EARLY CHURCH KEPT IT 13:51 UNTIL 4 OR 500 YEARS. 13:52 AS A MATTER OF FACT, THERE HAVE BEEN CHRISTIANS THROUGH THE AGES 13:54 THAT HAVE KEPT THE SEVENTH-DAY SABBATH. 13:56 WHY WOULD WE NOT KEEP IT NOW? 13:59 WE'RE GOING TO KEEP IT IN HEAVEN. 14:00 WHY WOULD THERE BE THIS ONE BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME WHERE 14:02 GOD WAS GOING TO CHANGE DAYS OR DO AWAY WITH IT? 14:05 IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE, FRIENDS. 14:08 PEOPLE OF GOD HAVE BEEN UNDER ATTACK BECAUSE THE DEVIL'S 14:11 ATTACKING THE RELATIONSHIP. 14:13 IN HEAVEN, WE'LL BE KEEPING THE SABBATH DAY. 14:16 IT'LL BE A TIME OF RESTING WITH GOD. 14:18 JESUS SAYS, "COME TO ME AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST." 14:21 AND I'LL TELL YOU, THE ULTIMATE COMING TO JESUS IS WHEN HE COMES 14:24 TO PICK US UP AND TAKE US BACK TO GLORY, AMEN? 14:28 AND THAT WILL BE--WE'RE GOING TO SPEND A MILLENNIUM SABBATH WITH 14:30 HIM; 1ST 1,000 YEARS IS GOING TO BE LIKE A SABBATH TO RECUPERATE 14:35 FROM THIS WORLD. 14:37 NUMBER NINE, WHY DO RELIGIOUS LEADERS IGNORE THE SABBATH 14:41 TRUTH? 14:42 WELL, YOU KNOW, THIS IS A PROPHECY. 14:44 IT'S NOT ORIGINAL, DID NOT HAPPEN RECENTLY. 14:46 WHY DO THE RELIGIOUS LEADERS IGNORE IT? 14:48 WELL, YOU CAN READ IN MARK 7:9, "JESUS SAID TO THEM, 'ALL TOO 14:52 WELL YOU REJECT THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD, THAT YOU MIGHT KEEP YOUR 14:56 TRADITION.'" PUTTING ASIDE A CLEAR 14:59 COMMANDMENT OF GOD, IT'S NOT NEW FOR RELIGIOUS LEADERS TO FAVOR 15:03 TRADITIONS OF THEIR INSTITUTION RATHER THAN THE CLEAR 15:06 COMMANDMENTS OF GOD'S WORD. 15:08 AND AGAIN, LUKE 6:46, "WHY DO YOU CALL ME 'LORD, LORD,' 15:12 AND DO NOT THE THINGS I SAY?" 15:14 AGAIN, EZEKIEL 22:26 AND 31, HE SAYS, "HER PRIESTS HAVE VIOLATED 15:20 MY LAW, AND HAVE PROFANED MY HOLY THINGS: THEY HAVE PUT NO 15:24 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE HOLY AND THE PROFANE AND THEY'VE HID 15:27 THEIR EYES FROM MY SABBATHS, AND I AM PROFANED AMONG THEM. 15:32 THEREFORE, I HAVE POURED OUT MY INDIGNATION UPON THEM." 15:36 WHEN GOD TELLS US THAT THE SABBATH IS HIS HOLY DAY, IT'S 15:41 THE SABBATH OF THE LORD, AND WE SAY IT JUST DOESN'T MATTER, HOW 15:45 CAN WE SAY HE HAS OUR HEART WHEN HE DOESN'T HAVE OUR TIME? 15:49 LET'S FACE IT, IT'S EASIER FOR SOME PEOPLE TO GIVE GOD THEIR 15:51 MONEY THAN THEIR TIME. 15:53 I THINK MANY OF US PROBABLY HAD FATHERS WHERE YOU COULD GIVE 15:56 YOUR KIDS A TRINKET OR A TOY, BUT DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME. 16:00 AND LOVE SHOWS THAT YOU CARE BY INVESTING TIME. 16:06 AND PEOPLE SAY, "LORD, LORD," BUT THEY DON'T WANT TO GIVE 'EM 16:08 THE SEVENTH DAY. 16:10 NUMBER TEN, WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT THE SABBATH TRUTH? 16:15 WELL, JESUS TELLS US, JOHN 14:15, "IF YOU LOVE ME," 16:21 DO WHAT? 16:22 "KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS." 16:24 HE WANTS US TO SHOW OUR LOVE FOR HIM BY KEEPING IT. 16:28 AND FURTHERMORE, THE LORD SAYS IN JOHN 13:17, "IF YOU KNOW 16:32 THESE THINGS, HAPPY--" DOES HE SAY MISERABLE? 16:37 "HAPPY ARE YE IF YOU DO THEM." 16:41 WHY AM I SHARING THESE THINGS WITH YOU? 16:43 TO MAKE PROBLEMS? 16:45 WELL, IT DOESN'T SAY THERE AREN'T ANY PROBLEMS IN 16:46 FOLLOWING THE LORD. 16:47 BUT ULTIMATELY, YOU WILL BE MUCH HAPPIER. 16:50 I HAD A PERSON CAME TO A PRESENTATION LIKE THIS AND THEY 16:53 TOLD ME AFTERWARD, "PASTOR DOUG, I WISH I HAD NEVER COME." 16:56 I SAID, "WHY?" 16:58 HE SAID, "BECAUSE WHAT YOU SAID MAKES SENSE AND NOW I KNOW, 16:59 AND I DON'T WANT TO CHANGE. 17:01 NOW, I'M MISERABLE." 17:03 I SAID, "I'LL PRAY FOR YOU'LL CONTINUE TO BE MISERABLE UNTIL 17:06 YOU SURRENDER." 17:08 THE LORD DIDN'T SEND IT TO YOU TO MAKE A PROBLEM. 17:11 HE SENT IT TO YOU BECAUSE HE'S TRUSTING YOU WITH TRUTH. 17:14 AND WHEN YOU TAKE A STAND FOR THE TRUTH, THERE'S A BLESSING 17:16 THAT WILL COME FROM THAT. 17:18 WELL, THINK ABOUT IT. 17:19 WORST THING THAT COULD HAPPEN IS YOU TAKE A STAND FOR THE SABBATH 17:22 TRUTH AND YOU GET KILLED FOR IT. 17:24 AND IF YOU DIE STANDING FOR JESUS, WHAT'S THE NEXT THING 17:26 YOU'RE AWARE OF? 17:27 YOUR PROBLEMS ARE OVER. 17:29 IT'D BE THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO YOU, RIGHT? 17:32 I MEAN WE SOMETIMES THINK THAT THIS LIFE IS WHAT IT'S ALL 17:35 ABOUT, THIS LIFE PREPARING FOR THE ONE THAT REALLY MATTERS 17:40 AND WE FORGET AND THINK, "THIS IS IT." 17:42 THIS IS NOT IT. 17:43 IF WE HAVEN'T GOT TIME TO GIVE JESUS ONE DAY A WEEK IN SEVEN, 17:50 HOW ARE YOU GOING TO ENDURE ETERNITY WITH HIM? 17:53 ISAIAH 58:13, THERE'S PROMISES THAT GO WITH IT, "IF YOU TURN 17:58 AWAY YOUR FOOT FROM THE SABBATH, FROM DOING YOUR PLEASURE ON MY 18:01 HOLY DAY," THE FOOT IN THE BIBLE STEPPING ON SOMETHING MEANT 18:03 DISRESPECT, "AND CALL THE SABBATH A DELIGHT," IT'S 18:07 A DELIGHT, "HOLY DAY OF THE LORD AND HONORABLE, AND YOU'LL HONOR 18:12 HIM, NOT DOING THINE OWN WAYS, NOR FINDING THINE OWN PLEASURE, 18:18 NOR SPEAKING YOUR OWN WORDS, THEN YOU WILL DELIGHT YOURSELF 18:22 IN THE LORD," WHAT DOES GOD ASSOCIATE WITH KEEPING 18:24 THE SABBATH? 18:25 DELIGHT. 18:26 "AND I'LL CAUSE YOU TO RIDE UPON THE HIGH PLACES OF THE EARTH, 18:29 AND FEED YOU WITH THE HERITAGE OF JACOB YOUR FATHER, 18:32 FOR THE MOUTH OF THE LORD HAS SPOKEN IT." 18:34 WHEN THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL WERE GETTING READY TO ENTER INTO 18:37 THE PROMISED LAND, GOD SAID TO MOSES, "MY PRESENCE WILL GO WITH 18:43 YOU, AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST." 18:46 THE VERY PROMISED LAND WAS A SYMBOL OF THAT REST THAT GOD 18:50 WAS GOING TO GIVE THEM, BUT THE DEVIL DOESN'T WANT YOU 18:54 TO HAVE THAT REST. 18:55 HE WANTS TO KEEP IT SO BUSY WITH THE CARES OF THIS LIFE THAT 18:58 THE DAY OF THE LORD OVERTAKES US AS A THIEF. 19:01 EVERY SABBATH DAY, WE PUT THE BRAKE ON AND WE RECALIBRATE. 19:04 WE GET OUR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT AND THE DEVIL DOESN'T WANT US 19:06 TO DO THAT. 19:08 AND EVEN IN GOD'S REMNANT CHURCH, WE'RE GETTING VERY 19:10 SLOPPY ABOUT HOW WE'RE KEEPING THE SABBATH. 19:13 AS A MATTER OF FACT, I'M GOING TO GO SO FAR AS TO SAY I'LL BET 19:15 YOU THAT IF YOU GO 100 YEARS BACK, MOST SUNDAY KEEPERS WERE 19:19 KEEPING SUNDAY BETTER THAN MANY SABBATH KEEPERS ARE NOW KEEPING 19:21 THE SABBATH. 19:23 THAT'S TRUE. 19:25 I'VE TALKED TO A LOT OF FOLKS THAT ARE CUT FROM THE OLD CLOTH. 19:27 THEY MAY BE EVEN WITH THE WRONG DAY, BUT THEY WERE VERY STRICT 19:31 ABOUT KEEPING IT. 19:34 AND THE DEVIL IS NOW DOING TO GOD'S CHURCH WHAT HE'S DONE TO 19:36 MANY OTHERS AND WE'RE--I MEAN LET'S FACE IT, A LOT OF FOLKS GO 19:40 TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY, THEN THEY GO TO THE MALL, THEY GO TO THE 19:42 MOVIES, THEY GO TO THE FOOTBALL GAME, MOW THEIR LAWN. 19:45 IT'S JUST IT'S NOT EVEN A SABBATH FOR THOSE WHO SAY 19:47 IT'S A DIFFERENT DAY. 19:50 LET'S GET THE DAY RIGHT, BUT LET'S NOT STOP THERE. 19:52 LET'S KEEP IT HOLY. 19:54 NUMBER 11, IMPORTANT QUESTION, HOW DID SO MANY PEOPLE START 20:00 KEEPING SUNDAY? 20:01 THE EARLIEST RECOGNITION, THIS IS THE ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA 20:04 11TH EDITION ON THE ARTICLE ON SUNDAY: "THE EARLIEST 20:08 RECOGNITION OF THE OBSERVANCE OF SUNDAY AS A LEGAL DUTY IS 20:10 A CONSTITUTION OF CONSTANTINE," THIS IS CONSTANTINE THE GREAT, 20:15 "ENACTING THAT ALL COURTS OF JUSTICE, 20:17 INHABITANTS OF TOWNS, AND WORKSHOPS WERE TO REST ON 20:20 SUNDAY," AND THEY CALLED THAT THE "VENERABLE DAY OF THE SUN, 20:24 VENERABILI DEI SOLIS." 20:26 IT WASN'T HAVING ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE SON OF GOD. 20:29 IT HAD TO DO WITH SUN WORSHIP AND MITHRA, "WITH THE EXCEPTION 20:32 OF THOSE WHO WERE ENGAGED IN AGRICULTURAL LABOR." 20:34 HE PUBLISHED "THE EDICT OF MILAN." 20:36 HE ESTABLISHED SUNDAY AS A DAY OF WORSHIP. 20:39 AND MANY OF THE CHRISTIANS WHO WERE TRYING TO GET IN WITH THE 20:41 NEW SUPPOSED CHRISTIAN EMPEROR, THEY BEGAN TO LITTLE BY LITTLE 20:45 DRIFT AWAY FROM THE SABBATH OF THE SEVENTH DAY BECAUSE THEY 20:49 WERE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE JEWS AND THEY WANTED TO 20:51 CREATE A SEPARATION BETWEEN THEMSELVES AND THE JEWS. 20:54 AND SO, THEY SAID, "WELL, WE'RE GOING TO KEEP THE MORE POPULAR 20:56 ROMAN SABBATH," AND THEY BEGAN TO DISTANCE THEMSELVES FROM 21:00 THE JEWISH SABBATH, NOT BECAUSE OF ANY SCRIPTURE BUT BECAUSE 21:03 OF POLITICAL PRESSURE. 21:05 IT WAS POLITICALLY CORRECT TO DO WHAT THE EMPEROR WAS DOING. 21:08 NOW, YOU CAN GO RIGHT TO "THE CONVERT'S CATECHISM OF 21:10 THE CATHOLIC CHURCH." 21:11 THEY'RE VERY HONEST ABOUT THIS. 21:13 IT SAYS, "QUESTION," THIS IS A CATHOLIC CATECHISM, 21:17 "WHICH DAY IS THE SABBATH DAY? 21:19 ANSWER: SATURDAY IS THE SABBATH DAY." 21:23 WELL, THE NEXT NATURAL QUESTION IS, "WHY DO WE OBSERVE SUNDAY 21:26 INSTEAD OF SATURDAY? 21:29 ANSWER: WE OBSERVE SUNDAY INSTEAD OF SATURDAY BECAUSE 21:32 THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TRANSFERRED THE SOLEMNITY FROM SATURDAY 21:38 TO SUNDAY." 21:39 THEY FREELY ADMITTED THAT. 21:40 IT HAPPENED BACK IN THE EARLY DAYS OF THE MOVEMENT THERE 21:43 IN ROME WHERE IT ORIGINATED AND SPREAD THROUGH THE EMPIRE. 21:46 YOU CAN GO RIGHT TO THE "CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA," 21:48 VOLUME 4, PAGE 153, "THE CHURCH AFTER CHANGING THE DAY OF REST 21:54 FROM THE JEWISH SABBATH OR THE SEVENTH-DAY OF THE WEEK," 21:57 YOU NOTICE "THE CHURCH," NOT THE BIBLE, "THEN MADE THE THIRD 21:59 COMMANDMENT REFER TO SUNDAY," THEY DID AWAY WITH THE SECOND 22:02 COMMANDMENT THAT HAS TO DO WITH IDOLATRY. 22:04 "THE THIRD COMMANDMENT REFER TO SUNDAY AS THE DAY TO BE KEPT 22:07 HOLY AS THE LORD'S DAY." 22:09 IT IS SO CLEAR FROM HISTORY. 22:11 THE BIG QUESTION IS: WHY WON'T BIBLE CHRISTIANS TAKE A STAND? 22:15 SO MANY CHRISTIAN MOVEMENTS HAVE COME OUT OF THE DARK AGES BACK 22:18 TO THE BIBLE, BUT THEY STOPPED WITH ONE OF GOD'S COMMANDMENTS, 22:21 THE ONE THAT DEALS WITH THE LOVE RELATIONSHIP AND GIVING GOD YOUR 22:25 TIME AND YOUR LIFE. 22:27 THE BIBLE FORETOLD IN PROPHECY THE BEAST POWER WOULD "THINK TO 22:31 CHANGE TIMES AND LAWS." 22:34 THERE'S ONLY ONE LAW THAT IS A LAW AND A TIME. 22:38 THAT'S THE SABBATH COMMANDMENT. 22:39 AM I RIGHT? 22:41 YOU'VE HEARD A LOT TONIGHT, FRIENDS. 22:43 I HAVE NOT TOLD YOU THE HALF OF WHAT I COULD SAY ON 22:45 THIS SUBJECT. 22:47 THIS IS ONE OF GOD'S COMMANDMENTS. 22:49 IF I WERE TO TELL YOU THAT DURING THE WEEKEND, THE MICHIGAN 22:53 GOVERNMENT HAS CHANGED THE SPEED LIMIT. 22:55 YOU CAN NOW GO 90 MILES AN HOUR ON THE INTERSTATE. 22:58 DOES ANYONE HERE BELIEVE ME? 23:01 NOBODY? 23:02 YOU CAN TRY IT OUT. 23:03 TRY AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. 23:04 LET ME KNOW TOMORROW. 23:07 WHY DON'T YOU BELIEVE ME? 23:09 BECAUSE NO RESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT WOULD HAVE SUCH 23:11 A PROMINENT LAW THAT AFFECTS SO MANY CITIZENS THAT WOULD NOT 23:15 THOROUGHLY ADVERTISE A CHANGE IN THAT LAW. 23:20 HOW IN THE WORLD CAN CHRISTIANS THINK THAT ONE OF GOD'S 23:22 COMMANDMENTS, SPOKEN WITH HIS AUDIBLE VOICE THUNDERING FROM 23:26 A MOUNTAIN, BURNING WITH ARK LETTERS INTO STONE? 23:30 MOSES BROKE THE FIRST SET. 23:31 HE CAME BACK. 23:32 HE SAID, "I'M GIVING IT TO YOU AGAIN!" 23:34 SAME EXACT THING, UNCHANGEABLE. 23:37 GOD'S GOING TO DELIVER HIS LAW THAT WAY. 23:39 HE'S GOING TO CHANGE THE ONE COMMANDMENT THAT SAYS "REMEMBER" 23:41 AND SILENCE IN THE BIBLE ON THAT? 23:44 COME ON, FRIENDS. 23:48 WE MIGHT COME UP WITH ALL THESE VERY CREATIVE RATIONALIZATIONS 23:51 AND ARGUMENTS ABOUT WHY WE DON'T WANT TO GIVE GOD OUR TIME, 23:54 BUT LET'S BE HONEST AND CALL THE TRUTH THE TRUTH. 23:57 IF WE'RE HAVING PROBLEMS, SAY, "LORD, THIS MAKES SENSE BUT I'M 23:59 STRUGGLING" AND PRAY THAT GOD--DON'T GO BY WHAT YOU FEEL, 24:03 DON'T GO BY WHAT YOUR PASTOR SAYS, DON'T GO BY WHAT I SAY, 24:05 GO BY WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS. 24:08 AND THE BIBLE IS VERY CLEAR; GOD'S LAW HAS NOT CHANGED. 24:12 JESUS WANTS YOU TO HAVE THAT REST. 24:15 THE DEVIL WANTS YOU TO WORK YOURSELF TO DEATH. 24:17 WHEN MOSES CAME TO LIBERATE GOD'S PEOPLE FROM THEIR BONDAGE, 24:21 THE PHARAOH WAS MAD. 24:22 HE SAID, "YOU'RE MAKING THE PEOPLE REST." 24:25 YOU KNOW WHAT THAT WORD IS? 24:27 "YOU ARE MAKING THE PEOPLE SABBATH." 24:30 THAT PHARAOH'S THE DEVIL, AND THAT'S HOW THE DEVIL 24:32 FEELS TODAY. 24:33 BEFORE THE GREAT DELIVERANCE IN THE DAYS OF MOSES, THERE WAS 24:36 A REVIVAL OF THE SABBATH TRUTH. 24:39 BEFORE JESUS COMES TO DELIVER US FROM OUR BONDAGE, THERE'S GOING 24:42 TO BE PLAGUES AGAIN AND A REVIVAL OF THE SABBATH TRUTH 24:45 AMONG GOD'S PEOPLE. 24:46 AND I THINK IT'S TIME THAT REVIVAL STARTS. 24:48 AMEN, FRIENDS?
