00:00:14.86\00:00:18.66

FORGOTTEN WHAT THE PURPOSE IS.

>> REST IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR
OUR EFFICIENCY, FOR CLARITY OF
00:00:54.10\00:00:58.20
MIND, FOR PRODUCTIVITY AND YOU'D
BE AMAZED HOW IMPORTANT REST IS
00:00:58.20\00:01:01.76
IN OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.
00:01:01.76\00:01:04.46
AND THAT'S GOING TO BE THE THEME
OF OUR STUDY TONIGHT, DEALING
00:01:04.46\00:01:06.73
WITH BRICKS WITHOUT STRAW.
00:01:06.73\00:01:09.03
I'D LIKE TO GO TO THE STORACLE.
00:01:09.03\00:01:10.26
WE GOT A LITTLE ROLL-IN FOOTAGE
WE'RE GONNA SHARE WITH YOU IN
00:01:10.26\00:01:13.46
A FEW MOMENTS BUT FIRST LET'S
TAKE A LOOK AT THE STORY THAT
00:01:13.46\00:01:16.03
CORRESPONDS WITH
TONIGHT'S LESSON.
00:01:16.03\00:01:18.86
"BRICKS WITHOUT STRAW."
00:01:18.86\00:01:20.26
PERHAPS YOU REMEMBER THAT MOSES,
WHEN HE WAS ADOPTED BY PHARAOH'S
00:01:20.26\00:01:24.56
DAUGHTER, HIS ORIGINAL INTENTION
WAS THAT HE MIGHT LIBERATE THE
00:01:24.56\00:01:28.50
PEOPLE SOMEHOW, BUT THE PROBLEM
IS WHEN HE TRIED TO DO IT ON
00:01:28.50\00:01:32.00
HIS OWN, IT BACKFIRED.
00:01:32.00\00:01:33.66
HE ENDED UP WONDERING IN
THE WILDERNESS OF MIDIAN FOR
00:01:33.66\00:01:36.30
40 YEARS.
00:01:36.30\00:01:37.66
BY THE TIME HE WAS 80 YEARS OLD,
HE HAD GIVEN UP ALL HOPE THAT
00:01:37.66\00:01:40.30
GOD WOULD USE HIM TO SAVE THE
ISRAELITES AND LO AND BEHOLD,
00:01:40.30\00:01:44.43
THE LORD APPEARED TO
HIM AT A BURNING BUSH.
00:01:44.43\00:01:47.03
SENT HIM BACK INTO EGYPT THAT
HE MIGHT BE USED OF THE LORD FOR
00:01:47.03\00:01:51.36
THE GREAT EXODUS, DELIVERING
A WHOLE NATION FROM SLAVERY.
00:01:51.36\00:01:56.40
NOW IN THIS STORY,
WHO DOES MOSES REPRESENT?
00:01:56.40\00:01:59.93
WHO IS IT THAT
SAVES US FROM SLAVERY?
00:01:59.93\00:02:02.53
MOSES IS A TYPE IN
THIS STORACLE OF JESUS.
00:02:02.53\00:02:05.63
WHO WOULD THE PHARAOH REPRESENT?
00:02:05.63\00:02:08.36
WHO IS IT THAT WANTS TO
KEEP US CAPTIVE AS SLAVES?
00:02:08.36\00:02:11.33
THAT'D BE THE DEVIL.
00:02:11.33\00:02:12.73
DOESN'T WANT TO LET US GO.
00:02:12.73\00:02:14.20
HE WANTS US TO
WORK AS HIS SLAVES.
00:02:14.20\00:02:16.13
MANY PEOPLE FORGET, IF YOU READ
IN THE BOOK OF EXODUS, BEFORE
00:02:16.13\00:02:19.96
MOSES AND AARON WENT AND
MET WITH THE PHARAOH, BEFORE
00:02:19.96\00:02:23.16
THEY APPROACHED HIM, THEY
WENT DIRECTLY TO THE ELDERS AND
00:02:23.16\00:02:25.93
THE LEADERS OF THE ISRAELITES
AND THEY SAID TO THEM "AND MOSES
00:02:25.93\00:02:31.30
AND AARON WENT AND
GATHERED TOGETHER THE ELDERS OF
00:02:31.30\00:02:34.90
THE CHILDREN OF
ISRAEL: AND THEY HAD
00:02:34.90\00:02:36.80
A SPECIAL MEETING WITH THEM."
00:02:36.80\00:02:38.56
IT GOES ON TO SAY, "AFTERWARD
MOSES AND AARON WENT IN
00:02:38.56\00:02:43.93
AND TOLD PHARAOH SAYING,
'THUS SAYS THE LORD OF ISRAEL:
00:02:43.93\00:02:47.00
LET MY PEOPLE GO.'" NOW
WHY IS IT THAT BEFORE THEY
00:02:47.00\00:02:50.23
MET WITH THE PHARAOH, THEY
MET WITH THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL?
00:02:50.23\00:02:53.10
WELL, SOME BIBLE COMMENTATORS
SPECULATE, AND I'M INCLINED TO
00:02:53.10\00:02:56.73
AGREE, THAT THEY SAID GOD
IS GETTING READY TO VISIT YOU
00:02:56.73\00:03:00.36
AND TO DELIVER YOU.
00:03:00.36\00:03:02.36
YOU SHOULD
CONSECRATE YOURSELF TO HIM.
00:03:02.36\00:03:05.46
THEY HAD BECOME SO
SATURATED WITH THE MIND-SET AND
00:03:05.46\00:03:08.90
THE RELIGION AND THE CUSTOMS OF
THE EGYPTIANS, AND YOU CAN SEE
00:03:08.90\00:03:12.26
THAT AS YOU READ THE EXODUS
EXPERIENCE, THEY KEPT THINKING
00:03:12.26\00:03:14.70
LET'S GO BACK TO EGYPT, THAT
THEY HAD FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE GOD
00:03:14.70\00:03:18.50
OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB.
00:03:18.50\00:03:20.76
ONE OF THE CUSTOMS OF
THE EGYPTIANS THEY HAD BEGUN
00:03:20.76\00:03:23.80
TO ADOPT WAS NEGLECTING
THE SABBATH THE DAY OF REST.
00:03:23.80\00:03:27.93
WHEN MOSES RETURNED TO HIM,
RETURNED TO THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL
00:03:27.93\00:03:31.83
AND THE ELDERS, HE SAID,
"YOU NEED TO REST, YOU'VE BEEN
00:03:31.83\00:03:34.73
WORKING FOR THE
PHARAOH 7 DAYS A WEEK.
00:03:34.73\00:03:36.90
YOU NEED TO KEEP GOD'S HOLY DAY.
00:03:36.90\00:03:38.70
HE'S GETTING READY TO
DO GREAT THINGS FOR YOU.
00:03:38.70\00:03:40.56
SANCTIFY YOURSELVES."
00:03:40.56\00:03:42.06
NOW YOU'RE THINKING,
"PASTOR DOUG, THAT'S A LOT
00:03:42.06\00:03:43.86
OF SPECULATION."
00:03:43.86\00:03:45.20
BUT THE BIBLE TELLS US AFTERWARD
MOSES AND AARON WENT IN AND TOLD
00:03:45.20\00:03:48.73
PHARAOH, "THUS SAYS THE LORD GOD
OF ISRAEL, LET MY PEOPLE GO."
00:03:48.73\00:03:53.10
WELL, THE PHARAOH DIDN'T
WANT TO LET THE PEOPLE GO.
00:03:53.10\00:03:55.83
HE HAD THEM ENGAGED IN BUILDING
THESE COLOSSAL MONUMENTS FOR HIM
00:03:55.83\00:03:59.63
IN THESE BEAUTIFUL CITIES,
HE WASN'T ABOUT TO LET THEM GO.
00:03:59.63\00:04:02.63
THEY WERE FREE LABOR.
00:04:02.63\00:04:04.46
FURTHERMORE THE PHARAOH WAS
OUTRAGED AND HE SAID, "BEHOLD,
00:04:04.46\00:04:07.70
THE PEOPLE OF THE LAND ARE
NOW MANY, AND YOU MAKE THEM REST
00:04:07.70\00:04:13.76
FROM THEIR BURDENS."
00:04:13.76\00:04:15.80
PHARAOH HAD SPIES WHO WERE
FINDING OUT ABOUT MOSES AND
00:04:15.80\00:04:19.30
AARON MEETING WITH
THE ISRAELITE LEADERS.
00:04:19.30\00:04:21.30
HE KNEW WHAT WAS GOING
ON, AND HE KNEW THEY HAD
00:04:21.30\00:04:24.00
A SPECIAL MEETING.
00:04:24.00\00:04:25.03
AND THAT WORD
"REST" THERE IS SABBATH.
00:04:25.03\00:04:28.20
THE PHARAOH SAID, "YOU'RE
MAKING THEM KEEP SABBATH.
00:04:28.20\00:04:31.56
YOU'RE MAKING THEM REST."
00:04:31.56\00:04:33.03
HE WANTED THEM TO
WORK 7 DAYS A WEEK.
00:04:33.03\00:04:36.53
HE DID NOT WANT THEM TO THINK
ABOUT GOING TO THE PROMISED
00:04:36.53\00:04:38.50
LAND.
00:04:38.50\00:04:39.43
THE DEVIL WANTS PEOPLE TO WORK,
WORK, WORK SO THAT WE DO NOT
00:04:39.43\00:04:42.43
THINK ABOUT ETERNITY.
00:04:42.43\00:04:43.83
WE DON'T THINK ABOUT WHAT
THE REAL PURPOSE OF LIFE IS, AND
00:04:43.83\00:04:46.40
THERE'S MORE TO IT THAN THAT.
00:04:46.40\00:04:47.83
HE SAID, "YOU'RE MAKING THEM
REST, YOU'RE MAKING THEM SABBATH
00:04:47.83\00:04:50.03
FROM THEIR BURDENS."
00:04:50.03\00:04:51.83
SO THE PHARAOH
MADE THINGS EVEN HARDER.
00:04:51.83\00:04:54.20
HE SAID, "THUS SAYS THE PHARAOH,
I WILL NOT GIVE YOU STRAW.
00:04:54.20\00:04:58.86
GO YE, GET YOUR STRAW
WHERE YOU CAN FIND IT."
00:04:58.86\00:05:02.76
HE NOW DECIDED TO
INTENSIFY THEIR WORKLOAD.
00:05:02.76\00:05:06.60
IT GOES ON TO SAY, "GO THEREFORE
NOW, AND WORK; FOR THERE
00:05:06.60\00:05:11.23
SHALL NO STRAW BE GIVEN YOU."
00:05:11.23\00:05:13.56
HE INCREASED THE WORKLOAD.
00:05:13.56\00:05:15.50
HE MADE THEM GO OUT AND GATHER
STRAW AND THEN HE DEMANDED THAT
00:05:15.50\00:05:18.73
THEY MAINTAIN THE SAME QUOTA
OF BRICK BECAUSE IT SAYS IN THE
00:05:18.73\00:05:22.60
BIBLE, IT SAYS IN THE BOOK OF
EXODUS, "MAKE THEM WORK SO THEY
00:05:22.60\00:05:26.46
DO NOT REGARD VAIN WORDS."
00:05:26.46\00:05:28.46
IN OTHER WORDS, DO NOT
THINK ABOUT THE WORD OF GOD.
00:05:28.46\00:05:30.80
DON'T THINK ABOUT FREEDOM.
00:05:30.80\00:05:32.03
DON'T THINK ABOUT THE PROMISED
LAND, JUST WORK, WORK, WORK.
00:05:32.03\00:05:35.83
NOW YOU KNOW YOU THE DEVIL USES
THE SAME TACTICS TODAY TO KEEP
00:05:35.83\00:05:38.66
PEOPLE SO PREOCCUPIED
WITH THE CARES OF THIS LIFE,
00:05:38.66\00:05:41.86
WE FORGET WE'RE ONLY
HERE FOR A LITTLE WHILE.
00:05:41.86\00:05:44.23
AND THE MAIN PURPOSE FOR
THIS LIFE IS TO DETERMINE WHERE
00:05:44.23\00:05:47.26
WE'RE GONNA SPEND ETERNITY.
00:05:47.26\00:05:48.76
THAT'S A FACT.
00:05:48.76\00:05:50.13
BUT THE DEVIL KEEPS US SO
PREOCCUPIED WITH A CONSTANT SPIN
00:05:50.13\00:05:53.03
OF WORK THAT PRETTY SOON
WE'RE THE RICHEST BODIES IN
00:05:53.03\00:05:56.96
THE GRAVEYARD, AND WE'VE
FORGOTTEN WHAT THE PURPOSE IS.
00:05:56.96\00:06:00.13
WELL, THE DEVIL,
THE PHARAOH COULD NOT
00:06:00.13\00:06:03.03
KEEP THEM AS HIS SLAVES.
00:06:03.03\00:06:04.93
GOD SENT A SERIES OF TEN
PLAGUES, FINALLY THE PHARAOH WAS
00:06:04.93\00:06:08.40
FORCED TO RELEASE HIS GRIP
AND THEN THE PEOPLE OFFERED THE
00:06:08.40\00:06:11.90
PASSOVER LAMB AND THEY
BEGAN THEIR JOURNEY FROM
00:06:11.90\00:06:15.06
THAT POINT ON.
00:06:15.06\00:06:16.06
THEY MADE THE GREAT
EXODUS OUT OF EGYPT.
00:06:16.06\00:06:18.86
THEY SPOILED THEIR OPPRESSORS,
THEY CAME TO THE RED SEA.
00:06:18.86\00:06:22.26
THE EGYPTIANS
FOLLOWED AFTER THEM.
00:06:22.26\00:06:24.06
THE LORD SWALLOWED UP THE
EGYPTIANS IN THE RED SEA AND
00:06:24.06\00:06:26.86
THEY WERE ON THEIR WAY TO THE
PROMISED LAND IN THE WILDERNESS.
00:06:26.86\00:06:30.80
BUT AFTER JUST A FEW DAYS IN
THE WILDERNESS, THEY GOT HUNGRY
00:06:30.80\00:06:33.06
AND THEY CRIED UNTO THE LORD
AND SAID, "YOU BROUGHT US OUT
00:06:33.06\00:06:36.00
HERE TO STARVE US TO DEATH?"
00:06:36.00\00:06:37.10
AND GOD BEGAN TO RAIN
SOMETHING DOWN FROM HEAVEN.
00:06:37.10\00:06:39.96
WHAT WAS IT CALLED?
00:06:39.96\00:06:41.00
MANNA.
00:06:41.00\00:06:42.10
YOU KNOW WHAT THE
WORD "MANNA" MEANS?
00:06:42.10\00:06:43.76
WHAT IS IT?
00:06:43.76\00:06:44.53
THEY DIDN'T HAVE A NAME FOR IT.
00:06:44.53\00:06:46.50
NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE.
00:06:46.50\00:06:48.16
AND THE BIBLE SAYS 6 DAYS A
WEEK, GOD RAINED MANNA DOWN FROM
00:06:48.16\00:06:52.36
HEAVEN.
00:06:52.36\00:06:53.33
THEY'D GATHER IT, THEY'D BAKE
IT INTO LOAVES AND BREAD AND
00:06:53.33\00:06:56.26
PROBABLY PREPARED IT A VARIETY
OF WAYS, BUT IT DID NOT FALL
00:06:56.26\00:06:59.96
THE 7TH DAY OF THE WEEK.
00:06:59.96\00:07:01.60
GOD SAID, "GATHER TWICE AS
MUCH ON 6TH DAY BECAUSE THERE
00:07:01.60\00:07:06.23
WOULDN'T BE ANY ON THE 7TH DAY."
00:07:06.23\00:07:09.03
MOSES SAID, "EAT THAT TODAY, FOR
TODAY IS A SABBATH TO THE LORD.
00:07:09.03\00:07:13.36
TODAY YOU'RE NOT GOING
TO FIND IT IN THE FIELD."
00:07:13.36\00:07:15.63
SPEAKING OF THE
7TH DAY OR THE SABBATH.
00:07:15.63\00:07:17.30
NOW SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT
GOD ESTABLISHED THE SABBATH
00:07:17.30\00:07:19.63
FOR THE JEWS AND
THAT IT'S A SPECIAL LAW
00:07:19.63\00:07:23.30
JUST FOR THEM AND THAT
HE GAVE IT A MOUNT SINAI.
00:07:23.30\00:07:26.73
KEEP IN MIND,
FRIENDS, THAT MOUNT SINAI AND
00:07:26.73\00:07:29.63
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
BEING SPOKEN AND WRITTEN,
00:07:29.63\00:07:31.83
THAT BEGINS EXODUS 20.
00:07:31.83\00:07:33.43
THE MANNA COMING DOWN 6
DAYS A WEEK AND NOT THE SABBATH
00:07:33.43\00:07:37.30
IS EXODUS 16.
00:07:37.30\00:07:38.90
AND IN EXODUS 16,
SOME OF THE PEOPLE WENT OUT
00:07:38.90\00:07:41.46
TO GATHER MANNA ON THE 7TH
DAY AND GOD SAID, "HOW LONG
00:07:41.46\00:07:44.53
DO YOU REFUSE TO KEEP MY LAWS?"
00:07:44.53\00:07:47.16
THE SABBATH WAS ONE OF
GOD'S LAWS LONG BEFORE THEY GOT
00:07:47.16\00:07:50.56
TO MOUNT SINAI.
00:07:50.56\00:07:52.03
WE LEARNED SOMETHING
ABOUT THE LAW OF THE LORD.
00:07:52.03\00:07:53.93
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING
RIGHT NOW, YOU'RE WONDERING
00:07:53.93\00:07:55.73
WHY IS THIS ISSUE IMPORTANT?
00:07:55.73\00:07:58.30
YOU KNOW IT'S INTERESTING THE
DIFFERENT ATTITUDES AND THOUGHTS
00:07:58.30\00:08:00.76
THAT PEOPLE HAVE REGARDING
THIS SPECIFIC COMMANDMENT.
00:08:00.76\00:08:04.10
AND I'LL EXPLAIN TO YOU HOW THIS
TIES INTO PROPHECY IN JUST A
00:08:04.10\00:08:06.90
MINUTE, BUT WE'RE GONNA
LISTEN TO SOME OF THE REACTIONS
00:08:06.90\00:08:09.16
THAT PEOPLE ON THE STREET HAD
REGARDING IS THE 4TH COMMANDMENT
00:08:09.16\00:08:13.06
RELEVANT TODAY?
00:08:13.06\00:08:15.00
I WANT YOU TO LISTEN FOR A
MOMENT TO SOME OF THE REACTION
00:08:15.00\00:08:16.83
THAT WE GOT ON THE STREETS
HERE IN MANHATTAN REGARDING THIS
00:08:16.83\00:08:20.20
SPECIFIC SUBJECT, IS THE FOURTH
COMMANDMENT RELEVANT TODAY?
00:08:20.20\00:08:23.70
>> IT'S MORE RELEVANT TO
A JEWISH PERSON THAN TO ME
00:08:23.70\00:08:26.63
PERSONALLY.
00:08:26.63\00:08:27.73
BUT MY OWN FORM OF RELIGION,
I DON'T CELEBRATE THE SABBATH,
00:08:27.73\00:08:31.46
BUT TO A JEWISH PERSON I THINK
THAT'D BE VERY IMPORTANT TO HIM.
00:08:31.46\00:08:35.20
BUT IN GENERAL, YES I DO BELIEVE
THE SABBATH IS IMPORTANT AS PART
00:08:35.20\00:08:38.53
OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:08:38.53\00:08:39.93
>> THE ONLY COMMANDMENT
THAT JESUS DID NOT SPEAK OF WAS
00:08:39.93\00:08:43.00
THE SABBATH.
00:08:43.00\00:08:44.96
SO WHETHER OR NOT WE WANT
TO KEEP THE SABBATH TODAY,
00:08:44.96\00:08:48.03
THAT'S QUESTIONABLE.
00:08:48.03\00:08:49.20
SOME CHRISTIANS DO,
SOME CHRISTIANS DO NOT.
00:08:49.20\00:08:52.13
THE FOURTH COMMANDMENT WHICH
IS "YOU SHALL KEEP THE SABBATH,"
00:08:52.13\00:08:56.36
THAT IS IN--THAT'S NOT
NECESSARILY IMPORTANT ANYMORE.
00:08:56.36\00:09:01.26
FOR SOME PEOPLE THEY FIND IT
IMPORTANT, BUT AS FAR AS TO FIND
00:09:01.26\00:09:07.20
OURSELVES RIGHTEOUS BEFORE GOD,
IT IS NOT ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL.
00:09:07.20\00:09:12.23
>> WE ALL HAVE OUR SABBATH,
BUT WE SHULD TAKE OUR TIME
00:09:12.23\00:09:14.90
AND WHETHER IT BE SATURDAY.
00:09:14.90\00:09:16.36
SOME PEOPLE KEEP THE SABBATH
HOLY ON SATURDAY BUT TO ME, YOU
00:09:16.36\00:09:20.73
SHOULD ALWAYS SET ASIDE FOR GOD.
00:09:20.73\00:09:22.80
YOU SHOULD ALWAYS
MAKE TIME FOR GOD.
00:09:22.80\00:09:24.86
>> I DO BELIEVE THAT THE
SABBATH DID HAPPEN ON SATURDAY.
00:09:24.86\00:09:29.06
>> I DON'T KNOW.
00:09:29.06\00:09:30.33
YOU KNOW, 4TH COMMANDMENT, 5TH
COMMANDMENT, WHATEVER YOU MAY
00:09:30.33\00:09:32.90
BE, IT JUST DEPENDS ON WHAT YOUR
BELIEFS ARE AND CERTAINLY WHAT
00:09:32.90\00:09:36.86
YOUR TEACHINGS WERE IN
REGARD TO CHURCH, GOD, BELIEFS,
00:09:36.86\00:09:42.50
THEM KINDS OF THINGS SO.
00:09:42.50\00:09:46.36
>> AN INTERESTING SPECTRUM
OF RESPONSES THAT WE GET ON THE
00:09:46.36\00:09:49.03
STREETS, AND I'M SURE WE COULD
HAVE STAYED OUT THERE ALL DAY
00:09:49.03\00:09:51.16
AND HAD A LARGE REACTION
FROM A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT
00:09:51.16\00:09:58.66
PERSPECTIVES.
00:09:58.66\00:09:59.96
NOW LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING,
FRIENDS, THAT IS I THINK
00:09:59.96\00:10:02.00
IS VERY IMPORTANT.
00:10:02.00\00:10:02.70
FIRST OF ALL, WHAT I
WANT TO SAY NOW, I'M GONNA
00:10:02.70\00:10:04.56
TALK ABOUT THE SABBATH DAY.
00:10:04.56\00:10:05.63
I'LL JUST HIT IT STRAIGHT ON.
00:10:05.63\00:10:07.40
I REMEMBER WHEN I FIRST LEARNED
THIS AND I WANT TO BEGIN BY
00:10:07.40\00:10:11.40
SAYING THAT I BELIEVE THERE ARE
MANY MILLIONS OF SPIRIT-FILLED,
00:10:11.40\00:10:16.10
HEAVEN-BOUND CHRISTIANS THAT
GO TO CHURCH ON THE FIRST DAY OF
00:10:16.10\00:10:19.76
THE WEEK, WHICH WE CALL SUNDAY.
00:10:19.76\00:10:21.56
WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
IS WHAT DOES THE BIBLE TEACH?
00:10:21.56\00:10:25.00
YOU KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS
THAT PEOPLE HAVE MISUNDERSTOOD
00:10:25.00\00:10:27.40
OVER TIME THAT
THEY WERE VERY SURE OF.
00:10:27.40\00:10:30.16
ARE YOU AWARE OF THE REASON THAT
A BARBERSHOP HAS A READ AND BLUE
00:10:30.16\00:10:34.30
SPIRAL AROUND THE
OLD-FASHIONED BARBERSHOPS?
00:10:34.30\00:10:37.06
YOU KNOW WHERE THAT CAME FROM?
00:10:37.06\00:10:38.23
BECAUSE DOCTORS BELIEVED THAT
WHEN A PERSON HAD A FEVER, IT'S
00:10:38.23\00:10:42.46
'CAUSE THEY HAD TOO MUCH BLOOD
AND THEY USED TO BLEED THEM.
00:10:42.46\00:10:45.56
HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER
READING THIS FROM HISTORY?
00:10:45.56\00:10:47.73
THEY THOUGHT IT WAS VERY
SCIENTIFIC AND THEY'D HAVE THEM
00:10:47.73\00:10:49.90
GRAB ON TO THIS PORCELAIN
SPIRAL, AND THE BARBERS HAD
00:10:49.90\00:10:53.80
THE SHARPEST INSTRUMENTS.
00:10:53.80\00:10:55.03
THEY'D BRING PEOPLE TO BARBERS
WITH A FEVER AND THEY'D GET CUT
00:10:55.03\00:10:57.26
WITH OFTEN UNSTERILIZED
INSTRUMENTS THAT HAD BEEN
00:10:57.26\00:11:00.43
SHAVING PEOPLE.
00:11:00.43\00:11:01.36
AND THEY'D BLEED THEM AND THEY
THOUGHT IF THEY GOT ENOUGH BLOOD
00:11:01.36\00:11:03.60
OUT THEN THE BLOOD PRESSURE
WOULD DROP AND THE FEVER WOULD
00:11:03.60\00:11:06.23
GO AWAY.
00:11:06.23\00:11:07.06
HE HAD A FEVER
BECAUSE HE HAD TOO MUCH BLOOD.
00:11:07.06\00:11:09.33
DO YOU KNOW THAT ARISTOTLE
SAID 2,000 YEARS AGO, THE SPIDER
00:11:09.33\00:11:13.43
IS AN INSECT WITH EIGHT LEGS.
00:11:13.43\00:11:16.83
AND FOR 2,000 YEARS, SCIENTISTS
AND BIOLOGISTS REPEATED
00:11:16.83\00:11:22.66
WHAT ARISTOTLE SAID.
00:11:22.66\00:11:24.83
SPIDERS: AN
INSECTS WITH EIGHT LEGS.
00:11:24.83\00:11:27.26
WELL, IF YOU LOOK AT A SPIDER
YOU FIND OUT IT'S GOT SIX LEGS
00:11:27.26\00:11:29.60
AND IT'S NOT EVEN AN INSECT.
00:11:29.60\00:11:32.26
IT'S IN A WHOLE
DIFFERENT CATEGORY.
00:11:32.26\00:11:34.56
THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT
THINGS THAT PEOPLE ASSUME
00:11:34.56\00:11:36.60
THAT ARE NOT ACCURATE.
00:11:36.60\00:11:38.73
AND LAST NIGHT WE LEARNED
THE LAW OF GOD IS STILL INTACT.
00:11:38.73\00:11:41.40
MOST PEOPLE HAVE NO PROBLEM
WITH THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:11:41.40\00:11:44.96
I BECAME VERY SUSPICIOUS WHEN
I DISCOVERED THE SABBATH TRUTH
00:11:44.96\00:11:49.26
IN PARTICULAR, UNNERVED PEOPLE,
IT MADE THEM VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.
00:11:49.26\00:11:53.30
LET ME TELL YOU
HOW I FOUND THIS OUT.
00:11:53.30\00:11:55.63
WHEN I WAS LIVING UP IN A CAVE,
SOME PEOPLE HEARD MY TESTIMONY
00:11:55.63\00:11:58.10
THIS MORNING, AND I ACCEPTED
THE LORD, I WENT TO CHURCH
00:11:58.10\00:12:02.43
ON SUNDAY.
00:12:02.43\00:12:03.43
I BEGAN TO VISIT A BROAD
SPECTRUM OF CHURCHES, BUT I READ
00:12:03.43\00:12:07.20
IN THE BIBLE THAT IT SAID THAT
THE 7TH DAY WAS THE SABBATH AND
00:12:07.20\00:12:09.66
I LOOKED AT THE CALENDAR AND
IT SAID THE 7TH DAY IS WHAT WE
00:12:09.66\00:12:12.50
CALL SATURDAY.
00:12:12.50\00:12:14.03
AND SO I WENT TO THE PASTOR,
I SAID, "WHY DO WE GO TO CHURCH
00:12:14.03\00:12:16.23
ON SUNDAY?
00:12:16.23\00:12:17.10
WHERE'S THE SCRIPTURES FOR THAT?
00:12:17.10\00:12:18.36
WHEN DID THAT CHANGE?"
00:12:18.36\00:12:19.70
AND I ASKED ABOUT TEN DIFFERENT
PASTORS AND I GOT ELEVEN
00:12:19.70\00:12:23.43
DIFFERENT ANSWERS, SORT OF LIKE
WHAT YOU SAW ON THE INTERVIEW.
00:12:23.43\00:12:27.23
ONE PASTOR SAID, "WELL DOUG,
WE'RE NOT UNDER THE LAW ANYMORE,
00:12:27.23\00:12:30.03
WE'RE NOW UNDER GRACE.
00:12:30.03\00:12:31.20
WE DON'T NEED TO KEEP THE
SABBATH COMMANDMENT ANYMORE."
00:12:31.20\00:12:34.40
I SAID, OH, I SAID, DOES THAT
MEAN THEN WE BREAK THE OTHER
00:12:34.40\00:12:36.76
NINE COMMANDMENTS?
00:12:36.76\00:12:38.26
HE SAID, "NO, NO, NO.
00:12:38.26\00:12:39.30
WE ONLY KEEP THE
COMMANDMENTS THAT APPEAR IN
00:12:39.30\00:12:41.56
THE NEW TESTAMENT."
00:12:41.56\00:12:43.23
SO I DID A STUDY AND
I FOUND OUT THAT NINE OF
00:12:43.23\00:12:45.73
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ARE
RESTATED IN THE NEW TESTAMENT.
00:12:45.73\00:12:48.93
THERE'S ONE
THAT IS NOT RESTATED.
00:12:48.93\00:12:50.83
YOU KNOW WHICH ONE IT IS?
00:12:50.83\00:12:52.03
IT'S NOT THE SABBATH.
00:12:52.03\00:12:53.80
IT'S THE COMMANDMENT THAT SAYS
DON'T TAKE THE NAME OF THE LORD
00:12:53.80\00:12:55.83
THY GOD IN VAIN.
00:12:55.83\00:12:57.53
DOES THAT MEAN IT'S
OKAY TO BREAK THAT ONE?
00:12:57.53\00:12:59.83
THE SABBATH IS MENTIONED SEVERAL
TIMES IN THE NEW TESTAMENT
00:12:59.83\00:13:01.90
CONTRARY TO WHAT SOME
PEOPLE THINK AND SAID.
00:13:01.90\00:13:04.20
WENT TO ANOTHER PASTOR, HE SAID,
"DOUG, JESUS ROSE ON THE FIRST
00:13:04.20\00:13:08.30
DAY OF THE WEEK AND HE THEN
MADE THAT THE NEW SABBATH DAY."
00:13:08.30\00:13:12.43
I SAID OH, ALL RIGHT, GREAT.
00:13:12.43\00:13:13.26
WHERE'S THE SCRIPTURE?
00:13:13.26\00:13:14.73
HE SAID, "WELL, WE DON'T HAVE A
SCRIPTURE WHERE HE SPECIFICALLY
00:13:14.73\00:13:17.23
CHANGES IT, BUT WE'VE GOT
A LONG-STANDING TRADITION."
00:13:17.23\00:13:21.50
I SAID THAT DON'T MAKE SENSE.
00:13:21.50\00:13:24.03
AND ANOTHER ONE
WAS VERY CREATIVE.
00:13:24.03\00:13:25.86
HE SAID, "DOUG, BACK IN THE DAYS
OF JOSHUA WHEN HE PRAYED AND THE
00:13:25.86\00:13:28.46
SUN STOOD STILL,
SATURDAY TURNED INTO SUNDAY."
00:13:28.46\00:13:33.00
THEY ALL HAD DIFFERENT
REFERENCES AND NONE OF THEM,
00:13:33.00\00:13:36.76
THERE WAS NO COMMAND IN
THE BIBLE AND SO I BECAME VERY
00:13:36.76\00:13:38.96
SUSPICIOUS.
00:13:38.96\00:13:39.63
AND THEY FINALLY CONVINCED ME.
00:13:39.63\00:13:41.86
WHAT FINALLY SINGED IT FOR ME IS
I WAS DOING A MEETING JUST LIKE
00:13:41.86\00:13:44.40
THIS AND A MINISTER INTERRUPTED
ME AND HE SAID, "BROTHER DOUG,
00:13:44.40\00:13:47.96
YOU'RE PUTTING THESE PEOPLE
UNDER THE BONDAGE OF WORKS."
00:13:47.96\00:13:51.26
I SAID, WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
00:13:51.26\00:13:52.00
HE SAID, "YOU'RE TELLING THEM
TO KEEP THE TEN COMMANDMENTS."
00:13:52.00\00:13:53.73
I SAID, NOW WAIT A SECOND.
00:13:53.73\00:13:54.96
DO YOU THINK GOD WANTS US
TO KEEP THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?
00:13:54.96\00:13:57.03
THEN THE MINISTER SAID NO
AND THEN HE REALIZED HOW SILLY
00:13:57.03\00:13:59.43
THAT SOUNDED.
00:13:59.43\00:14:00.23
HE SAID, "YES."
00:14:00.23\00:14:01.53
AND THEN HE
SAID, "NINE OF THEM."
00:14:01.53\00:14:05.30
I SAID, SO WHAT YOU'RE TELLING
ME IS THE ONE COMMANDMENT THAT
00:14:05.30\00:14:08.60
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO FORGET IS
THE ONLY COMMANDMENT THAT BEGINS
00:14:08.60\00:14:11.40
WITH THE WORD "REMEMBER."
00:14:11.40\00:14:13.43
I SAID THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
00:14:13.43\00:14:15.56
AND I SAID WHY ARE YOU ACCUSING
ME OF PUTTING PEOPLE UNDER
00:14:15.56\00:14:17.86
WORKS, I'M TELLING THEM TO REST.
00:14:17.86\00:14:20.50
YOU'RE TELLING THEM NOT TO REST,
YOU'RE PUTTING THEM UNDER WORKS.
00:14:20.50\00:14:24.13
LET'S GET TO QUESTION NUMBER ONE
AND I'LL ELABORATE AS WE GO ON.
00:14:24.13\00:14:27.50
"DID GOD MAKE THE SABBATH
REST ONLY FOR ISRAELITES?"
00:14:27.50\00:14:30.80
YOU SAY THE ANSWERS WITH ME.
00:14:30.80\00:14:31.93
MARK 2:27, AND HE SAID
UNTO THEM, THE SABBATH WAS MADE
00:14:31.93\00:14:37.30
FOR JEWS.
00:14:37.30\00:14:39.56
OH, I MISSED THAT, DIDN'T I?
00:14:39.56\00:14:41.40
SABBATH WAS MADE FOR, WHO?
00:14:41.40\00:14:42.96
FOR MAN.
00:14:42.96\00:14:45.43
AND WHO SAID THAT?
00:14:45.43\00:14:46.73
JESUS.
00:14:46.73\00:14:47.83
HE DIDN'T SAY FOR ISRAEL.
00:14:47.83\00:14:49.50
WHY?
00:14:49.50\00:14:50.16
BECAUSE IT GOES BACK
TO THE GARDEN OF EDEN.
00:14:50.16\00:14:52.56
YOU KNOW WHAT
ELSE WAS MADE FOR MAN?
00:14:52.56\00:14:54.60
THE BIBLE SAYS IT'S NOT
GOOD THAT MAN SHOULD BE ALONE.
00:14:54.60\00:14:56.90
SO GOD MADE SOMETHING
ELSE FOR MAN, WHAT WAS IT?
00:14:56.90\00:14:59.70
A HELP MEET, AND THAT
DOESN'T MEAN HELP MEET EXPENSES.
00:14:59.70\00:15:04.80
THAT WAS WOMAN.
00:15:04.80\00:15:06.30
DO WE STILL HAVE WOMEN?
00:15:06.30\00:15:08.13
DO WE STILL NEED 'EM?
00:15:08.13\00:15:09.16
WE STILL NEED THE SABBATH
TOO THAT GOD MADE FOR MAN.
00:15:09.16\00:15:11.56
YOU KNOW THERE'S SOME
SCRIPTURES I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT
00:15:11.56\00:15:13.36
IN ISAIAH 56.
00:15:13.36\00:15:15.76
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS, "ALSO,"
VERSE 6, "THE SONS OF THE
00:15:15.76\00:15:18.96
STRANGER, THAT JOINED THEMSELVES
TO THE LORD," SPEAKING OF PEOPLE
00:15:18.96\00:15:21.93
FROM EVERYWHERE, "THAT SERVE
HIM, AND TO LOVE THE NAME OF
00:15:21.93\00:15:25.66
THE LORD, TO BE HIS
SERVANTS, EVERYONE THAT KEEPETH
00:15:25.66\00:15:29.46
THE SABBATH FROM POLLUTING IT,
AND TAKETH HOLD OF MY COVENANT.
00:15:29.46\00:15:33.50
EVEN THEM I WILL BRING TO
MY HOLY MOUNTAIN, AND MAKE THEM
00:15:33.50\00:15:37.16
JOYFUL IN MY HOUSE OF PRAYER."
00:15:37.16\00:15:39.90
HOW DOES GOD PLACE
THE SABBATH CONTEXT?
00:15:39.90\00:15:42.66
IS IT SUPPOSED TO BE
A BURDEN OR A BLESSING?
00:15:42.66\00:15:44.96
IT'S SUPPOSED TO BRING
PEACE AND JOY AND REST AND BOY,
00:15:44.96\00:15:47.50
DO WE EVERY NEED THAT.
00:15:47.50\00:15:48.60
NUMBER TWO, "WHEN DID
GOD ESTABLISH THE SABBATH?"
00:15:48.60\00:15:52.36
ANSWER, GENESIS 2:1-3, "THUS
THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH WERE
00:15:52.36\00:15:58.10
FINISHED, AND
ALL THE HOST OF THEM.
00:15:58.10\00:16:01.30
AND GOD BLESSED THE SEVENTH DAY,
AND SANCTIFIED IT BECAUSE IN IT
00:16:01.30\00:16:05.20
HE HAD RESTED FROM ALL HIS WORK
WHICH GOD CREATED AND MADE."
00:16:05.20\00:16:09.93
NOW HOW MANY DAYS DID
GOD USE TO CREATED THE WORLD?
00:16:09.93\00:16:13.93
SIX DAYS.
00:16:13.93\00:16:15.46
HOW MANY DAYS IN THE WEEK?
00:16:15.46\00:16:17.76
SEVEN DAYS.
00:16:17.76\00:16:19.06
WHY?
00:16:19.06\00:16:20.86
'CAUSE HE MADE ONE MORE DAY.
00:16:20.86\00:16:23.10
HE MADE ONE MORE
DAY FOR A RELATIONSHIP.
00:16:23.10\00:16:26.50
NOW LET ME EXPLAIN SOMETHING
THAT I THINK IS VERY IMPORTANT,
00:16:26.50\00:16:28.56
VERY, VERY IMPORTANT.
00:16:28.56\00:16:30.63
WHY THIS ISSUE IS SO IMPORTANT
TO ME, I'M NOT TRYING TO
00:16:30.63\00:16:32.80
SUPERIMPOSE A NEW LAW ON PEOPLE.
00:16:32.80\00:16:36.23
THE DEVIL HATES THE SABBATH
TRUTH AND IT'S VERY SIMPLE
00:16:36.23\00:16:39.00
BECAUSE YOU CANNOT BE
SAVED WITHOUT LOVING THE LORD.
00:16:39.00\00:16:42.90
YOU CANNOT BE SAVED
WITHOUT KNOWING THE LORD.
00:16:42.90\00:16:45.03
HAVEN'T WE BEEN
EMPHASIZING THAT?
00:16:45.03\00:16:47.06
ALL LOVE RELATIONSHIPS ARE
BUILT IN THE CONTEXT OF TIME.
00:16:47.06\00:16:52.56
WHAT HAPPENS TO A MARRIAGE
WHEN THE HUSBAND AND THE WIFE
00:16:52.56\00:16:54.93
STOP EXPERIENCING QUALITY TIME?
00:16:54.93\00:16:57.76
IT BEGINS TO
ERODE AND DETERIORATE.
00:16:57.76\00:16:59.96
DO PEOPLE FALL IN LOVE JUST BY
LOOKING AT EACH OTHER OR DO THEY
00:16:59.96\00:17:03.33
NEED TO SPEND TIME
COMMUNICATING WITH EACH OTHER?
00:17:03.33\00:17:06.36
IF YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE GOD, YOU
NEED QUALITY TIME WITH GOD WHERE
00:17:06.36\00:17:09.96
YOU LAY ASIDE YOUR REGULAR
CONCERNS AND REST AND YOU BASK
00:17:09.96\00:17:13.23
IN HIS PRESENCE, YOU COMMUNE
WITH HIM, YOU SPEND SACRED TIME
00:17:13.23\00:17:16.70
WITH HIM DEDICATED FOR HIM.
00:17:16.70\00:17:18.93
YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH
HIM WILL GROW AS A RESULT.
00:17:18.93\00:17:22.03
THE DEVIL DOES NOT WANT THAT
TO HAPPEN AND SO HE WANTS PEOPLE
00:17:22.03\00:17:25.43
TO WORK AND WORK AND WORK SO
THEY'RE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD
00:17:25.43\00:17:29.13
EVAPORATES.
00:17:29.13\00:17:30.20
THAT'S WHY THE SABBATH IS
SO IMPORTANT, IT IS A CONTEXT,
00:17:30.20\00:17:33.33
A DAY THAT GOD HAS CREATED.
00:17:33.33\00:17:34.60
HE'S BLESSED FOR US TO
NURTURE OUR LOVE RELATIONSHIP.
00:17:34.60\00:17:37.93
DO WE NEED IT IN THIS DAY
AND AGE WHERE WE WERE ULTRA
00:17:37.93\00:17:40.50
STRESSED?
00:17:40.50\00:17:41.36
I'LL TELL YA WHAT, FRIENDS,
IF THERE WAS EVER A CULTURE ON
00:17:41.36\00:17:45.23
THE FACE OF THE WORLD THAT WAS
RUNNING TO AND FRO LIKE A BUNCH
00:17:45.23\00:17:48.46
OF MAD CHICKENS WITH THEIR
HEADS CUT OFF, IT'S THIS AGE AND
00:17:48.46\00:17:51.80
IT'S THIS CITY IN PARTICULAR.
00:17:51.80\00:17:53.36
JUST BETWEEN MY APARTMENT AND
THIS PLACE, YOU GOTTA SPIN AND
00:17:53.36\00:17:58.90
DODGE AND DUCK AND DO CARTWHEELS
JUST NOT TO GET BOWLED OVER BY
00:17:58.90\00:18:02.76
TAXIES AND HUMAN CARGO
ROARING UP AND DOWN THE STREETS.
00:18:02.76\00:18:06.20
AND EVERYBODY LOOKS SO
PLEASANT AND RELAXED AND HAPPY
00:18:06.20\00:18:08.96
AS THEY'RE GOING.
00:18:08.96\00:18:11.43
YOU KNOW THE MEDICAL INDUSTRY,
ONE OF THE NUMBER-ONE PRODUCTS
00:18:11.43\00:18:14.26
THAT SOLD IS ANTACID.
00:18:14.26\00:18:16.63
THERE'S SO MUCH ULCERS AND
HEARTBURN AND STRESS AND STRAIN,
00:18:16.63\00:18:21.33
AND THIS IS WHAT'S BEING
BORN OUT BY THE RESEARCH.
00:18:21.33\00:18:24.73
PEOPLE ARE LIVING UNDER WHAT
WE WOULD CALL THE AGE OF RAGE.
00:18:24.73\00:18:29.43
I DON'T KNOW IF
YOU'VE GOT IT IN MANHATTAN.
00:18:29.43\00:18:31.33
YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH
CARS IN MANHATTAN, BUT IN L.A.
00:18:31.33\00:18:33.46
EVERYONE'S GOT A CAR, AND
EVEN PETS HAVE CARS IN L.A.
00:18:33.46\00:18:36.86
AND PEOPLE ARE SHOOTING EACH
OTHER BECAUSE THERE'S TO SO MUCH
00:18:36.86\00:18:39.46
PENT UP RAGE AND
THERE'S SO MUCH STRESS.
00:18:39.46\00:18:41.90
COULD THERE BE A CONNECTION
BETWEEN THE HUMAN RACE
00:18:41.90\00:18:43.83
FORGETTING TO REST IN THE LORD?
00:18:43.83\00:18:47.40
I THINK THERE IS.
00:18:47.40\00:18:48.56
NUMBER THREE, "WHAT DAY
OF THE WEEK IS THE SABBATH?"
00:18:48.56\00:18:52.53
AND SOME OF YOU WILL
WONDER, DOES IT MATTER?
00:18:52.53\00:18:54.70
WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT.
00:18:54.70\00:18:55.50
WHAT DAY OF THE WEEK?
00:18:55.50\00:18:56.50
GENESIS 2, INCIDENTALLY IN
GENESIS 2:2-3, HOW MANY PEOPLE
00:18:56.50\00:19:02.06
WERE IN THE WORLD THEN?
00:19:02.06\00:19:04.13
TWO.
00:19:04.13\00:19:05.40
WHAT WERE THEIR NAMES?
00:19:05.40\00:19:06.66
ADAM AND EVE.
00:19:06.66\00:19:07.76
WHAT WAS THEIR RELIGION?
00:19:07.76\00:19:12.46
THEY WERE JEWISH, AND
EVERYBODY ELSE IS TOO.
00:19:12.46\00:19:17.50
NO, THEY WERE, OF
COURSE, GOD'S CHILDREN.
00:19:17.50\00:19:20.83
THEY DIDN'T HAVE ALL
THESE DENOMINATIONS BACK THEN.
00:19:20.83\00:19:23.33
"AND ON THE--" SAY IT,
"AND ON THE SEVENTH DAY,
00:19:23.33\00:19:26.96
GOD ENDED HIS WORK WHICH
HE HAD MADE; AND HE RESTED
00:19:26.96\00:19:29.76
THE SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL
HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD MADE.
00:19:29.76\00:19:33.33
AND GOD BLESSED AND
SANCTIFIED THE SEVENTH DAY."
00:19:33.33\00:19:37.20
NOW DID YOU NOTICE THAT?
00:19:37.20\00:19:38.13
THE FIRST TIME A NUMBER APPEARS
THREE TIMES IN SCRIPTURE IT'S
00:19:38.13\00:19:41.63
THE SABBATH AND IT SAYS THE
SEVENTH DAY, THE SEVENTH DAY,
00:19:41.63\00:19:44.86
THE SEVENTH DAY.
00:19:44.86\00:19:46.06
WHEN YOU GET TO THE LAST BOOK
OF THE BIBLE, THERE'S A NUMBER
00:19:46.06\00:19:49.66
THAT IS OFTEN USED
TO IDENTIFY THE BEAST.
00:19:49.66\00:19:52.80
WHAT IS THAT NUMBER?
00:19:52.80\00:19:53.90
SIX, SIX, SIX.
00:19:53.90\00:19:55.60
THE VERY FIRST BOOK IN THE BIBLE
GOD SAYS, "I'VE GOT A NUMBER
00:19:55.60\00:19:58.70
THAT IDENTIFIES MY RELATIONSHIP
WITH YOU AND MY CREATIVE POWER,"
00:19:58.70\00:20:01.76
AND IT'S THE 7TH DAY.
00:20:01.76\00:20:03.36
WHEN GOD SAYS SOMETHING
THREE TIMES, IT IS ETERNAL.
00:20:03.36\00:20:06.76
THE ANGELS AROUND THE THRONE
OF GOD GO HOLY, HOLY, HOLY.
00:20:06.76\00:20:12.00
AND WHEN GOD SAYS, "THE SEVENTH
DAY, THE SEVENTH DAY, THE
00:20:12.00\00:20:15.66
SEVENTH DAY," WILL YOU NOTICE
HE DIDN'T SAY A SEVENTH DAY?
00:20:15.66\00:20:19.60
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
00:20:19.60\00:20:21.23
WELL, IF I SAY,
COULD YOU BRING ME A CHAIR?
00:20:21.23\00:20:24.86
WELL, YOU COULD ATTEMPT TO THROW
ANY CHAIR IN THE ROOM TO ME,
00:20:24.86\00:20:27.36
RIGHT?
00:20:27.36\00:20:28.16
BUT IF I SAY, BRING ME THE
CHAIR, YOU KNOW I'M SPEAKING OF
00:20:28.16\00:20:31.50
A SPECIFIC CHAIR.
00:20:31.50\00:20:33.63
"A" MEANS SOMETHING,
"THE" MEANS A DEFINITE ARTICLE.
00:20:33.63\00:20:39.20
WHEN GOD SAID,
"THE SEVENTH DAY,"
00:20:39.20\00:20:41.23
HE WAS BEING VERY DEFINITE.
00:20:41.23\00:20:43.33
THERE'S A LOT OF TRADITIONS THAT
PEOPLE HAVE COME TO EMBRACE THAT
00:20:43.33\00:20:46.33
WE LATER DISCOVER ARE
NOT ACCURATE; LIKE THE MOON
00:20:46.33\00:20:49.46
IS NOT MADE OF
CHEESE AS THEY ONCE SAID.
00:20:49.46\00:20:51.60
OF COURSE, THAT WAS JUST A
CHILDREN'S FABLE, BUT SCIENTISTS
00:20:51.60\00:20:54.16
AT ONE POINT SAID THAT THE WORLD
WAS FLAT, THAT YOU WOULD SAIL
00:20:54.16\00:20:57.96
OFF THE END.
00:20:57.96\00:20:59.36
COPERNICUS SAID NO, THE
EARTH RESOLVES AROUND THE SUN.
00:20:59.36\00:21:03.13
AND GALILEO ALMOST GOT KICKED
OUT OF THE CHURCH FOR AGREEING
00:21:03.13\00:21:05.43
WITH HIM.
00:21:05.43\00:21:06.80
THEY SAID, "NO, NO, THE
SUN GOES AROUND THE EARTH.
00:21:06.80\00:21:09.96
WE'RE THE
CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE.
00:21:09.96\00:21:11.30
AND THE SCIENTISTS
SAID, YES, IT'S TRUE.
00:21:11.30\00:21:13.06
AND THE CHURCH
SAID, YES, IT'S TRUE.
00:21:13.06\00:21:14.43
THEY WERE WRONG.
00:21:14.43\00:21:16.10
THE EVIDENCE IS VERY CLEAR.
00:21:16.10\00:21:18.26
AND SO I WANT YOU TO TAKE
KEEP YOUR MIND OPEN TO LOOK
00:21:18.26\00:21:20.73
FAITHFULLY AT THE EVIDENCE.
00:21:20.73\00:21:21.86
YOU KNOW THE BIBLE TELLS
US YOU'LL KNOW THE TRUTH AND
00:21:21.86\00:21:24.76
THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE.
00:21:24.76\00:21:26.76
I HOPE YOU WILL LOVE THE TRUTH.
00:21:26.76\00:21:28.46
NUMBER FOUR, "HOW HAS GOD
DEMONSTRATED THE IMPORTANCE
00:21:28.46\00:21:32.36
OF THE HOLY SABBATH?"
00:21:32.36\00:21:33.86
ANSWER, JESUS SAID, "REMEMBER
THE SABBATH DAY TO KEEP IT
00:21:33.86\00:21:38.40
HOLY."
00:21:38.40\00:21:40.10
IT GOES ON FURTHER TO SAY, "THE
LORD BLESSED THE SABBATH DAY,
00:21:40.10\00:21:43.90
AND HALLOWED IT."
00:21:43.90\00:21:45.53
NOW DOES GOD SAY THAT
WE MAKE THE SABBATH HOLY?
00:21:45.53\00:21:48.90
ONE OF THE PEOPLE ON THE STREETS
SAYS, "WELL, YOU KNOW YOU
00:21:48.90\00:21:50.90
JUST GOTTA PICK A
DAY, YOU GOTTA MAKE TIME."
00:21:50.90\00:21:53.06
DO WE MAKE A DAY
HOLY OR DOES GOD DO THAT?
00:21:53.06\00:21:56.00
CAN YOU AND I
BLESS AND SANCTIFY A DAY?
00:21:56.00\00:21:58.33
NO.
00:21:58.33\00:21:59.13
IF YOU COME AND YOU TAKE CARE
OF MY HOUSE FOR ME WHILE I GO TO
00:21:59.13\00:22:02.83
TOWN AND GO TO THE MARKET
AND I SAY, LOOK IT'S COLD, AND
00:22:02.83\00:22:05.00
I GOT A FIRE GOING IN THE STOVE.
00:22:05.00\00:22:06.50
CAN YOU KEEP THE FIRE GOING?
00:22:06.50\00:22:07.60
SAY, "NO PROBLEM, DOUG,
I'LL KEEP THE FIRE GOING."
00:22:07.60\00:22:10.90
AND THEN I LEAVE AND YOU WALK
OVER TO THE STOVE TO SEE IF IT
00:22:10.90\00:22:13.20
NEEDS ANY WOOD
AND THERE'S NO FIRE.
00:22:13.20\00:22:15.26
THERE'S NOT EVEN ANY WARM COALS.
00:22:15.26\00:22:16.66
IT'S DEAD COLD EMPTY.
00:22:16.66\00:22:18.20
AND YOU SAY, "WHY DID
DOUG SAY 'KEEP THE FIRE GOING'
00:22:18.20\00:22:20.50
WHEN THERE'S NO FIRE?"
00:22:20.50\00:22:21.70
RIGHT?
00:22:21.70\00:22:22.63
WHEN GOD SAYS KEEP THE SABBATH
DAY HOLY, HE'S SAYING, "I MADE
00:22:22.63\00:22:25.63
IT HOLY BACK AT CREATION AND I'M
COMMANDING YOU TO KEEP IT HOLY."
00:22:25.63\00:22:30.06
JUST BECAUSE WE DON'T
ACCEPT IT OR DON'T KNOW ABOUT
00:22:30.06\00:22:33.06
IT DOESN'T MEAN IS IT NOT
A DAY WHEN GOD HAS BLESSED.
00:22:33.06\00:22:36.20
THE BIBLE SAYS WHEN GOD BLESSES
SOMETHING, IT'S BLESSED FOREVER.
00:22:36.20\00:22:39.43
WITH THIS DAY GOD RESTED, GOD
BLESSED IT AND HE SANCTIFIED IT.
00:22:39.43\00:22:43.86
MAN WAS MADE IN HIS IMAGE.
00:22:43.86\00:22:45.13
HE WANTED US TO FOLLOW THAT.
00:22:45.13\00:22:46.66
DO WE STILL NEED REST?
00:22:46.66\00:22:48.66
SURE WE DO,
SPIRITUAL AND PHYSICAL REST.
00:22:48.66\00:22:51.60
FURTHERMORE, SOME PEOPLE SAY,
"WELL, JESUS CAME TO DO AWAY
00:22:51.60\00:22:54.40
WITH THE LAW, WE DON'T
NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THAT,
00:22:54.40\00:22:56.40
THAT HE FULFILLED IT."
00:22:56.40\00:22:57.36
IS THAT WHAT CHRIST SAID?
00:22:57.36\00:22:58.83
SOME OF YOU ARE
SAYING, "PASTOR DOUG,
00:22:58.83\00:23:00.40
I CAME TO THIS SEMINAR.
00:23:00.40\00:23:01.23
I WANTED TO HEAR ABOUT PROPHECY
AND YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ONE
00:23:01.23\00:23:03.03
OF THE COMMANDMENTS."
00:23:03.03\00:23:04.10
YOU NEED TO TAKE
THAT UP WITH JESUS.
00:23:04.10\00:23:05.93
LISTEN TO WHAT THE LORD
SAYS, MATTHEW 5:19, "WHOSOEVER
00:23:05.93\00:23:10.10
THEREFORE SHALL BREAK ONE OF
THE LEAST OF THESE COMMANDMENTS,
00:23:10.10\00:23:13.70
AND SHALL TEACH MEN SO,
HE SHALL BE CALLED LEAST IN
00:23:13.70\00:23:17.23
THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
00:23:17.23\00:23:18.83
BUT WHOSOEVER SHALL DO AND TEACH
THEM, THE SAME SHALL BE CALLED
00:23:18.83\00:23:23.23
GREAT IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN."
00:23:23.23\00:23:25.46
I'D LIKE THE LORD TO SPEAK OF
ME OF GREAT AND SO I WANT TO DO
00:23:25.46\00:23:27.96
IT AND I WANT TO TEACH IT.
00:23:27.96\00:23:29.16
AND THERE'S A CURSE PRONOUNCED
ON THOSE WHO BREAK IT AND TELL
00:23:29.16\00:23:32.63
OTHER PEOPLE TO INTENTIONALLY.
00:23:32.63\00:23:35.00
THAT'S THE ISSUE I
WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND.
00:23:35.00\00:23:36.70
NUMBER FIVE, "OF WHAT TWO
THINGS, OF WHAT TWO PRECIOUS
00:23:36.70\00:23:40.63
THINGS DOES GOD SAY
THE SABBATH IS A SIGN?"
00:23:40.63\00:23:44.80
YOU CAN READ IN EXODUS 31:17
IT SAYS, "IT IS A SIGN BETWEEN
00:23:44.80\00:23:50.53
ME AND THE CHILDREN OF
ISRAEL FOREVER: FOR IN SIX DAYS
00:23:50.53\00:23:54.06
THE LORD MADE HEAVEN AND EARTH."
00:23:54.06\00:23:58.16
SO ONE THING IT'S A SIGN OF
HIM BEING THE MAKER, THE CREATOR
00:23:58.16\00:24:02.13
AND HE WILL RECREATE US.
00:24:02.13\00:24:05.20
HOW MANY OF US NEED HIM
TO CREATE A NEW HEART IN US?
00:24:05.20\00:24:08.10
THE SABBATH IS A SIGN THAT
HE CAN RECREATE OUR HEARTS.
00:24:08.10\00:24:11.63
FURTHERMORE IF YOU GO
TO EZEKIEL 20:12 IT SAYS,
00:24:11.63\00:24:15.20
"I GAVE THEM MY
SABBATHS, TO BE A SIGN BETWEEN
00:24:15.20\00:24:17.76
ME AND THEM, THAT THEY
MIGHT KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD
00:24:17.76\00:24:20.60
THAT SANCTIFIES THEM."
00:24:20.60\00:24:23.20
HE REDEEMS AND
SANCTIFIES AND HE CREATES.
00:24:23.20\00:24:27.26
SANCTIFY MEANS TO MAKE HOLY.
00:24:27.26\00:24:29.00
HOW MANY OF US
NEED TO BE MADE HOLY?
00:24:29.00\00:24:31.13
NOW THE FIRST PART OF
THAT ANSWER SAYS THE SABBATH
00:24:31.13\00:24:33.13
IS A SIGN BETWEEN ME
AND THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL.
00:24:33.13\00:24:35.53
SOME OF YOU ARE SAYING,
"THERE IT IS, DOUG, IT'S BETWEEN
00:24:35.53\00:24:38.03
THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL AND GOD.
00:24:38.03\00:24:40.10
IT HAS NOTHING TO
DO WITH CHRISTIANS."
00:24:40.10\00:24:41.86
ARE WE UNDER THE NOW COVENANT
OR THE OLD COVENANT TODAY?
00:24:41.86\00:24:46.60
YOU DON'T SOUND SURE.
00:24:46.60\00:24:47.33
DON'T BE BASHFUL.
00:24:47.33\00:24:48.30
WE'RE LIVING IN THE
NEW COVENANT TIME, RIGHT?
00:24:48.30\00:24:50.90
LET ME QUOTE THE
NEW COVENANT FOR YOU.
00:24:50.90\00:24:53.56
ANYBODY WHO GETS SAVED, YOU'RE
SAVED BASED ON THE COVENANT OF
00:24:53.56\00:24:55.96
SALVATION THAT GOD MADE.
00:24:55.96\00:24:57.60
THE LORD HAS NOW
ESTABLISHED A NEW COVENANT.
00:24:57.60\00:25:00.53
THE NEW COVENANT, THIS IS
WHAT IT SAYS, "I WILL MAKE
00:25:00.53\00:25:03.20
A NEW COVENANT AFTER THOSE
DAYS WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL."
00:25:03.20\00:25:07.36
ARE YOU AWARE THAT NOWHERE
IN THE BIBLE DOES GOD MAKE
00:25:07.36\00:25:10.50
A COVENANT WITH ANYBODY
BUT THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL?
00:25:10.50\00:25:14.06
THAT'S WHY PAUL SAYS IF YOU'RE
A CHRISTIAN, YOU ARE ABRAHAM'S
00:25:14.06\00:25:17.16
SEED.
00:25:17.16\00:25:18.53
YOU ARE ADOPTED SPIRITUALLY
AS JEWS INTO THE FAMILY.
00:25:18.53\00:25:22.50

00:25:22.50\00:25:27.83

WHOEVER DESIRES, LET HIM

00:25:29.56\00:25:32.70
REVELATION 22:17. IMAGINE,
YOU ARE IN A REMOTE VILLAGE IN
00:25:32.70\00:25:36.66
GUATEMALA AND THERE IS NO WATER
AVAILABLE FOR COOKING, WASHING,
00:25:36.66\00:25:39.96
OR DRINKING. YOU MUST WALK TWO
OR MORE HOURS ONE WAY JUST TO
00:25:39.96\00:25:43.43
GET WATER FOR YOUR FAMILY OR
BE FORCED TO DRINK THE STAGNANT
00:25:43.43\00:25:46.36
WATER IN PONDS OR POLLUTED

EVEN LET OUR DOGS DRINK.
00:25:49.33\00:25:51.13
IN THESE VILLAGES SMALL CHILDREN
SUFFER THE MOST FROM WATER-BORNE
00:25:51.13\00:25:53.86
DISEASES AND MANY
INFANTS DIE FROM DYSENTERY.

>> HI FRIENDS, I EXPECT
THAT SOME OF YOU MIGHT FIND
00:27:03.40\00:27:06.43
IT SHOCKING THAT MOST MODERN
CHURCHES HAVE TOTALLY DISCARDED
00:27:06.43\00:27:10.13
OR DISTORTED THE 4TH COMMANDMENT
AND THEY'VE REPLACED IT WITH
00:27:10.13\00:27:13.63
MANMADE TRADITIONS, BUT THIS
JUST UNDERSCORES THE IMPORTANCE
00:27:13.63\00:27:17.40
OF KNOWING THE REST OF THE
STORY REGARDING GOD'S HOLY DAY
