NOW WHY IS IT THAT BEFORE THEY 02:50 MET WITH THE PHARAOH, THEY MET WITH THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL? 02:53 WELL, SOME BIBLE COMMENTATORS SPECULATE, AND I'M INCLINED TO 02:56 AGREE, THAT THEY SAID GOD IS GETTING READY TO VISIT YOU 03:00 AND TO DELIVER YOU. 03:02 YOU SHOULD CONSECRATE YOURSELF TO HIM. 03:05 THEY HAD BECOME SO SATURATED WITH THE MIND-SET AND 03:08 THE RELIGION AND THE CUSTOMS OF THE EGYPTIANS, AND YOU CAN SEE 03:12 THAT AS YOU READ THE EXODUS EXPERIENCE, THEY KEPT THINKING 03:14 LET'S GO BACK TO EGYPT, THAT THEY HAD FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE GOD 03:18 OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB. 03:20 ONE OF THE CUSTOMS OF THE EGYPTIANS THEY HAD BEGUN 03:23 TO ADOPT WAS NEGLECTING THE SABBATH THE DAY OF REST. 03:27 WHEN MOSES RETURNED TO HIM, RETURNED TO THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL 03:31 AND THE ELDERS, HE SAID, "YOU NEED TO REST, YOU'VE BEEN 03:34 WORKING FOR THE PHARAOH 7 DAYS A WEEK. 03:36 YOU NEED TO KEEP GOD'S HOLY DAY. 03:38 HE'S GETTING READY TO DO GREAT THINGS FOR YOU. 03:40 SANCTIFY YOURSELVES." 03:42 NOW YOU'RE THINKING, "PASTOR DOUG, THAT'S A LOT 03:43 OF SPECULATION." 03:45 BUT THE BIBLE TELLS US AFTERWARD MOSES AND AARON WENT IN AND TOLD 03:48 PHARAOH, "THUS SAYS THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL, LET MY PEOPLE GO." 03:53 WELL, THE PHARAOH DIDN'T WANT TO LET THE PEOPLE GO. 03:55 HE HAD THEM ENGAGED IN BUILDING THESE COLOSSAL MONUMENTS FOR HIM 03:59 IN THESE BEAUTIFUL CITIES, HE WASN'T ABOUT TO LET THEM GO. 04:02 THEY WERE FREE LABOR. 04:04 FURTHERMORE THE PHARAOH WAS OUTRAGED AND HE SAID, "BEHOLD, 04:07 THE PEOPLE OF THE LAND ARE NOW MANY, AND YOU MAKE THEM REST 04:13 FROM THEIR BURDENS." 04:15 PHARAOH HAD SPIES WHO WERE FINDING OUT ABOUT MOSES AND 04:19 AARON MEETING WITH THE ISRAELITE LEADERS. 04:21 HE KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON, AND HE KNEW THEY HAD 04:24 A SPECIAL MEETING. 04:25 AND THAT WORD "REST" THERE IS SABBATH. 04:28 THE PHARAOH SAID, "YOU'RE MAKING THEM KEEP SABBATH. 04:31 YOU'RE MAKING THEM REST." 04:33 HE WANTED THEM TO WORK 7 DAYS A WEEK. 04:36 HE DID NOT WANT THEM TO THINK ABOUT GOING TO THE PROMISED 04:38 LAND. 04:39 THE DEVIL WANTS PEOPLE TO WORK, WORK, WORK SO THAT WE DO NOT 04:42 THINK ABOUT ETERNITY. 04:43 WE DON'T THINK ABOUT WHAT THE REAL PURPOSE OF LIFE IS, AND 04:46 THERE'S MORE TO IT THAN THAT. 04:47 HE SAID, "YOU'RE MAKING THEM REST, YOU'RE MAKING THEM SABBATH 04:50 FROM THEIR BURDENS." 04:51 SO THE PHARAOH MADE THINGS EVEN HARDER. 04:54 HE SAID, "THUS SAYS THE PHARAOH, I WILL NOT GIVE YOU STRAW. 04:58 GO YE, GET YOUR STRAW WHERE YOU CAN FIND IT." 05:02 HE NOW DECIDED TO INTENSIFY THEIR WORKLOAD. 05:06 IT GOES ON TO SAY, "GO THEREFORE NOW, AND WORK; FOR THERE 05:11 SHALL NO STRAW BE GIVEN YOU." 05:13 HE INCREASED THE WORKLOAD. 05:15 HE MADE THEM GO OUT AND GATHER STRAW AND THEN HE DEMANDED THAT 05:18 THEY MAINTAIN THE SAME QUOTA OF BRICK BECAUSE IT SAYS IN THE 05:22 BIBLE, IT SAYS IN THE BOOK OF EXODUS, "MAKE THEM WORK SO THEY 05:26 DO NOT REGARD VAIN WORDS." 05:28 IN OTHER WORDS, DO NOT THINK ABOUT THE WORD OF GOD. 05:30 DON'T THINK ABOUT FREEDOM. 05:32 DON'T THINK ABOUT THE PROMISED LAND, JUST WORK, WORK, WORK. 05:35 NOW YOU KNOW YOU THE DEVIL USES THE SAME TACTICS TODAY TO KEEP 05:38 PEOPLE SO PREOCCUPIED WITH THE CARES OF THIS LIFE, 05:41 WE FORGET WE'RE ONLY HERE FOR A LITTLE WHILE. 05:44 AND THE MAIN PURPOSE FOR THIS LIFE IS TO DETERMINE WHERE 05:47 WE'RE GONNA SPEND ETERNITY. 05:48 THAT'S A FACT. 05:50 BUT THE DEVIL KEEPS US SO PREOCCUPIED WITH A CONSTANT SPIN 05:53 OF WORK THAT PRETTY SOON WE'RE THE RICHEST BODIES IN 05:56 THE GRAVEYARD, AND WE'VE FORGOTTEN WHAT THE PURPOSE IS. 06:00 WELL, THE DEVIL, THE PHARAOH COULD NOT 06:03 KEEP THEM AS HIS SLAVES. 06:04 GOD SENT A SERIES OF TEN PLAGUES, FINALLY THE PHARAOH WAS 06:08 FORCED TO RELEASE HIS GRIP AND THEN THE PEOPLE OFFERED THE 06:11 PASSOVER LAMB AND THEY BEGAN THEIR JOURNEY FROM 06:15 THAT POINT ON. 06:16 THEY MADE THE GREAT EXODUS OUT OF EGYPT. 06:18 THEY SPOILED THEIR OPPRESSORS, THEY CAME TO THE RED SEA. 06:22 THE EGYPTIANS FOLLOWED AFTER THEM. 06:24 THE LORD SWALLOWED UP THE EGYPTIANS IN THE RED SEA AND 06:26 THEY WERE ON THEIR WAY TO THE PROMISED LAND IN THE WILDERNESS. 06:30 BUT AFTER JUST A FEW DAYS IN THE WILDERNESS, THEY GOT HUNGRY 06:33 AND THEY CRIED UNTO THE LORD AND SAID, "YOU BROUGHT US OUT 06:36 HERE TO STARVE US TO DEATH?" 06:37 AND GOD BEGAN TO RAIN SOMETHING DOWN FROM HEAVEN. 06:39 WHAT WAS IT CALLED? 06:41 MANNA. 06:42 YOU KNOW WHAT THE WORD "MANNA" MEANS? 06:43 WHAT IS IT? 06:44 THEY DIDN'T HAVE A NAME FOR IT. 06:46 NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE. 06:48 AND THE BIBLE SAYS 6 DAYS A WEEK, GOD RAINED MANNA DOWN FROM 06:52 HEAVEN. 06:53 THEY'D GATHER IT, THEY'D BAKE IT INTO LOAVES AND BREAD AND 06:56 PROBABLY PREPARED IT A VARIETY OF WAYS, BUT IT DID NOT FALL 06:59 THE 7TH DAY OF THE WEEK. 07:01 GOD SAID, "GATHER TWICE AS MUCH ON 6TH DAY BECAUSE THERE 07:06 WOULDN'T BE ANY ON THE 7TH DAY." 07:09 MOSES SAID, "EAT THAT TODAY, FOR TODAY IS A SABBATH TO THE LORD. 07:13 TODAY YOU'RE NOT GOING TO FIND IT IN THE FIELD." 07:15 SPEAKING OF THE 7TH DAY OR THE SABBATH. 07:17 NOW SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT GOD ESTABLISHED THE SABBATH 07:19 FOR THE JEWS AND THAT IT'S A SPECIAL LAW 07:23 JUST FOR THEM AND THAT HE GAVE IT A MOUNT SINAI. 07:26 KEEP IN MIND, FRIENDS, THAT MOUNT SINAI AND 07:29 THE TEN COMMANDMENTS BEING SPOKEN AND WRITTEN, 07:31 THAT BEGINS EXODUS 20. 07:33 THE MANNA COMING DOWN 6 DAYS A WEEK AND NOT THE SABBATH 07:37 IS EXODUS 16. 07:38 AND IN EXODUS 16, SOME OF THE PEOPLE WENT OUT 07:41 TO GATHER MANNA ON THE 7TH DAY AND GOD SAID, "HOW LONG 07:44 DO YOU REFUSE TO KEEP MY LAWS?" 07:47 THE SABBATH WAS ONE OF GOD'S LAWS LONG BEFORE THEY GOT 07:50 TO MOUNT SINAI. 07:52 WE LEARNED SOMETHING ABOUT THE LAW OF THE LORD. 07:53 I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING RIGHT NOW, YOU'RE WONDERING 07:55 WHY IS THIS ISSUE IMPORTANT? 07:58 YOU KNOW IT'S INTERESTING THE DIFFERENT ATTITUDES AND THOUGHTS 08:00 THAT PEOPLE HAVE REGARDING THIS SPECIFIC COMMANDMENT. 08:04 AND I'LL EXPLAIN TO YOU HOW THIS TIES INTO PROPHECY IN JUST A 08:06 MINUTE, BUT WE'RE GONNA LISTEN TO SOME OF THE REACTIONS 08:09 THAT PEOPLE ON THE STREET HAD REGARDING IS THE 4TH COMMANDMENT 08:13 RELEVANT TODAY? 08:15 I WANT YOU TO LISTEN FOR A MOMENT TO SOME OF THE REACTION 08:16 THAT WE GOT ON THE STREETS HERE IN MANHATTAN REGARDING THIS 08:20 SPECIFIC SUBJECT, IS THE FOURTH COMMANDMENT RELEVANT TODAY? 08:23 >> IT'S MORE RELEVANT TO A JEWISH PERSON THAN TO ME 08:26 PERSONALLY. 08:27 BUT MY OWN FORM OF RELIGION, I DON'T CELEBRATE THE SABBATH, 08:31 BUT TO A JEWISH PERSON I THINK THAT'D BE VERY IMPORTANT TO HIM. 08:35 BUT IN GENERAL, YES I DO BELIEVE THE SABBATH IS IMPORTANT AS PART 08:38 OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. 08:39 >> THE ONLY COMMANDMENT THAT JESUS DID NOT SPEAK OF WAS 08:43 THE SABBATH. 08:44 SO WHETHER OR NOT WE WANT TO KEEP THE SABBATH TODAY, 08:48 THAT'S QUESTIONABLE. 08:49 SOME CHRISTIANS DO, SOME CHRISTIANS DO NOT. 08:52 THE FOURTH COMMANDMENT WHICH IS "YOU SHALL KEEP THE SABBATH," 08:56 THAT IS IN--THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY IMPORTANT ANYMORE. 09:01 FOR SOME PEOPLE THEY FIND IT IMPORTANT, BUT AS FAR AS TO FIND 09:07 OURSELVES RIGHTEOUS BEFORE GOD, IT IS NOT ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL. 09:12 >> WE ALL HAVE OUR SABBATH, BUT WE SHULD TAKE OUR TIME 09:14 AND WHETHER IT BE SATURDAY. 09:16 SOME PEOPLE KEEP THE SABBATH HOLY ON SATURDAY BUT TO ME, YOU 09:20 SHOULD ALWAYS SET ASIDE FOR GOD. 09:22 YOU SHOULD ALWAYS MAKE TIME FOR GOD. 09:24 >> I DO BELIEVE THAT THE SABBATH DID HAPPEN ON SATURDAY. 09:29 >> I DON'T KNOW. 09:30 YOU KNOW, 4TH COMMANDMENT, 5TH COMMANDMENT, WHATEVER YOU MAY 09:32 BE, IT JUST DEPENDS ON WHAT YOUR BELIEFS ARE AND CERTAINLY WHAT 09:36 YOUR TEACHINGS WERE IN REGARD TO CHURCH, GOD, BELIEFS, 09:42 THEM KINDS OF THINGS SO. 09:46 >> AN INTERESTING SPECTRUM OF RESPONSES THAT WE GET ON THE 09:49 STREETS, AND I'M SURE WE COULD HAVE STAYED OUT THERE ALL DAY 09:51 AND HAD A LARGE REACTION FROM A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT 09:58 PERSPECTIVES. 09:59 NOW LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, FRIENDS, THAT IS I THINK 10:02 IS VERY IMPORTANT. 10:02 FIRST OF ALL, WHAT I WANT TO SAY NOW, I'M GONNA 10:04 TALK ABOUT THE SABBATH DAY. 10:05 I'LL JUST HIT IT STRAIGHT ON. 10:07 I REMEMBER WHEN I FIRST LEARNED THIS AND I WANT TO BEGIN BY 10:11 SAYING THAT I BELIEVE THERE ARE MANY MILLIONS OF SPIRIT-FILLED, 10:16 HEAVEN-BOUND CHRISTIANS THAT GO TO CHURCH ON THE FIRST DAY OF 10:19 THE WEEK, WHICH WE CALL SUNDAY. 10:21 WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS WHAT DOES THE BIBLE TEACH? 10:25 YOU KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT PEOPLE HAVE MISUNDERSTOOD 10:27 OVER TIME THAT THEY WERE VERY SURE OF. 10:30 ARE YOU AWARE OF THE REASON THAT A BARBERSHOP HAS A READ AND BLUE 10:34 SPIRAL AROUND THE OLD-FASHIONED BARBERSHOPS? 10:37 YOU KNOW WHERE THAT CAME FROM? 10:38 BECAUSE DOCTORS BELIEVED THAT WHEN A PERSON HAD A FEVER, IT'S 10:42 'CAUSE THEY HAD TOO MUCH BLOOD AND THEY USED TO BLEED THEM. 10:45 HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER READING THIS FROM HISTORY? 10:47 THEY THOUGHT IT WAS VERY SCIENTIFIC AND THEY'D HAVE THEM 10:49 GRAB ON TO THIS PORCELAIN SPIRAL, AND THE BARBERS HAD 10:53 THE SHARPEST INSTRUMENTS. 10:55 THEY'D BRING PEOPLE TO BARBERS WITH A FEVER AND THEY'D GET CUT 10:57 WITH OFTEN UNSTERILIZED INSTRUMENTS THAT HAD BEEN 11:00 SHAVING PEOPLE. 11:01 AND THEY'D BLEED THEM AND THEY THOUGHT IF THEY GOT ENOUGH BLOOD 11:03 OUT THEN THE BLOOD PRESSURE WOULD DROP AND THE FEVER WOULD 11:06 GO AWAY. 11:07 HE HAD A FEVER BECAUSE HE HAD TOO MUCH BLOOD. 11:09 DO YOU KNOW THAT ARISTOTLE SAID 2,000 YEARS AGO, THE SPIDER 11:13 IS AN INSECT WITH EIGHT LEGS. 11:16 AND FOR 2,000 YEARS, SCIENTISTS AND BIOLOGISTS REPEATED 11:22 WHAT ARISTOTLE SAID. 11:24 SPIDERS: AN INSECTS WITH EIGHT LEGS. 11:27 WELL, IF YOU LOOK AT A SPIDER YOU FIND OUT IT'S GOT SIX LEGS 11:29 AND IT'S NOT EVEN AN INSECT. 11:32 IT'S IN A WHOLE DIFFERENT CATEGORY. 11:34 THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS THAT PEOPLE ASSUME 11:36 THAT ARE NOT ACCURATE. 11:38 AND LAST NIGHT WE LEARNED THE LAW OF GOD IS STILL INTACT. 11:41 MOST PEOPLE HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. 11:44 I BECAME VERY SUSPICIOUS WHEN I DISCOVERED THE SABBATH TRUTH 11:49 IN PARTICULAR, UNNERVED PEOPLE, IT MADE THEM VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. 11:53 LET ME TELL YOU HOW I FOUND THIS OUT. 11:55 WHEN I WAS LIVING UP IN A CAVE, SOME PEOPLE HEARD MY TESTIMONY 11:58 THIS MORNING, AND I ACCEPTED THE LORD, I WENT TO CHURCH 12:02 ON SUNDAY. 12:03 I BEGAN TO VISIT A BROAD SPECTRUM OF CHURCHES, BUT I READ 12:07 IN THE BIBLE THAT IT SAID THAT THE 7TH DAY WAS THE SABBATH AND 12:09 I LOOKED AT THE CALENDAR AND IT SAID THE 7TH DAY IS WHAT WE 12:12 CALL SATURDAY. 12:14 AND SO I WENT TO THE PASTOR, I SAID, "WHY DO WE GO TO CHURCH 12:16 ON SUNDAY? 12:17 WHERE'S THE SCRIPTURES FOR THAT? 12:18 WHEN DID THAT CHANGE?" 12:19 AND I ASKED ABOUT TEN DIFFERENT PASTORS AND I GOT ELEVEN 12:23 DIFFERENT ANSWERS, SORT OF LIKE WHAT YOU SAW ON THE INTERVIEW. 12:27 ONE PASTOR SAID, "WELL DOUG, WE'RE NOT UNDER THE LAW ANYMORE, 12:30 WE'RE NOW UNDER GRACE. 12:31 WE DON'T NEED TO KEEP THE SABBATH COMMANDMENT ANYMORE." 12:34 I SAID, OH, I SAID, DOES THAT MEAN THEN WE BREAK THE OTHER 12:36 NINE COMMANDMENTS? 12:38 HE SAID, "NO, NO, NO. 12:39 WE ONLY KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS THAT APPEAR IN 12:41 THE NEW TESTAMENT." 12:43 SO I DID A STUDY AND I FOUND OUT THAT NINE OF 12:45 THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ARE RESTATED IN THE NEW TESTAMENT. 12:48 THERE'S ONE THAT IS NOT RESTATED. 12:50 YOU KNOW WHICH ONE IT IS? 12:52 IT'S NOT THE SABBATH. 12:53 IT'S THE COMMANDMENT THAT SAYS DON'T TAKE THE NAME OF THE LORD 12:55 THY GOD IN VAIN. 12:57 DOES THAT MEAN IT'S OKAY TO BREAK THAT ONE? 12:59 THE SABBATH IS MENTIONED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE NEW TESTAMENT 13:01 CONTRARY TO WHAT SOME PEOPLE THINK AND SAID. 13:04 WENT TO ANOTHER PASTOR, HE SAID, "DOUG, JESUS ROSE ON THE FIRST 13:08 DAY OF THE WEEK AND HE THEN MADE THAT THE NEW SABBATH DAY." 13:12 I SAID OH, ALL RIGHT, GREAT. 13:13 WHERE'S THE SCRIPTURE? 13:14 HE SAID, "WELL, WE DON'T HAVE A SCRIPTURE WHERE HE SPECIFICALLY 13:17 CHANGES IT, BUT WE'VE GOT A LONG-STANDING TRADITION." 13:21 I SAID THAT DON'T MAKE SENSE. 13:24 AND ANOTHER ONE WAS VERY CREATIVE. 13:25 HE SAID, "DOUG, BACK IN THE DAYS OF JOSHUA WHEN HE PRAYED AND THE 13:28 SUN STOOD STILL, SATURDAY TURNED INTO SUNDAY." 13:33 THEY ALL HAD DIFFERENT REFERENCES AND NONE OF THEM, 13:36 THERE WAS NO COMMAND IN THE BIBLE AND SO I BECAME VERY 13:38 SUSPICIOUS. 13:39 AND THEY FINALLY CONVINCED ME. 13:41 WHAT FINALLY SINGED IT FOR ME IS I WAS DOING A MEETING JUST LIKE 13:44 THIS AND A MINISTER INTERRUPTED ME AND HE SAID, "BROTHER DOUG, 13:47 YOU'RE PUTTING THESE PEOPLE UNDER THE BONDAGE OF WORKS." 13:51 I SAID, WHAT DO YOU MEAN? 13:52 HE SAID, "YOU'RE TELLING THEM TO KEEP THE TEN COMMANDMENTS." 13:53 I SAID, NOW WAIT A SECOND. 13:54 DO YOU THINK GOD WANTS US TO KEEP THE TEN COMMANDMENTS? 13:57 THEN THE MINISTER SAID NO AND THEN HE REALIZED HOW SILLY 13:59 THAT SOUNDED. 14:00 HE SAID, "YES." 14:01 AND THEN HE SAID, "NINE OF THEM." 14:05 I SAID, SO WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME IS THE ONE COMMANDMENT THAT 14:08 WE'RE SUPPOSED TO FORGET IS THE ONLY COMMANDMENT THAT BEGINS 14:11 WITH THE WORD "REMEMBER." 14:13 I SAID THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. 14:15 AND I SAID WHY ARE YOU ACCUSING ME OF PUTTING PEOPLE UNDER 14:17 WORKS, I'M TELLING THEM TO REST. 14:20 YOU'RE TELLING THEM NOT TO REST, YOU'RE PUTTING THEM UNDER WORKS. 14:24 LET'S GET TO QUESTION NUMBER ONE AND I'LL ELABORATE AS WE GO ON. 14:27 "DID GOD MAKE THE SABBATH REST ONLY FOR ISRAELITES?" 14:30 YOU SAY THE ANSWERS WITH ME. 14:31 MARK 2:27, AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, THE SABBATH WAS MADE 14:37 FOR JEWS. 14:39 OH, I MISSED THAT, DIDN'T I? 14:41 SABBATH WAS MADE FOR, WHO? 14:42 FOR MAN. 14:45 AND WHO SAID THAT? 14:46 JESUS. 14:47 HE DIDN'T SAY FOR ISRAEL. 14:49 WHY? 14:50 BECAUSE IT GOES BACK TO THE GARDEN OF EDEN. 14:52 YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE WAS MADE FOR MAN? 14:54 THE BIBLE SAYS IT'S NOT GOOD THAT MAN SHOULD BE ALONE. 14:56 SO GOD MADE SOMETHING ELSE FOR MAN, WHAT WAS IT? 14:59 A HELP MEET, AND THAT DOESN'T MEAN HELP MEET EXPENSES. 15:04 THAT WAS WOMAN. 15:06 DO WE STILL HAVE WOMEN? 15:08 DO WE STILL NEED 'EM? 15:09 WE STILL NEED THE SABBATH TOO THAT GOD MADE FOR MAN. 15:11 YOU KNOW THERE'S SOME SCRIPTURES I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT 15:13 IN ISAIAH 56. 15:15 TAKE A LOOK AT THIS, "ALSO," VERSE 6, "THE SONS OF THE 15:18 STRANGER, THAT JOINED THEMSELVES TO THE LORD," SPEAKING OF PEOPLE 15:21 FROM EVERYWHERE, "THAT SERVE HIM, AND TO LOVE THE NAME OF 15:25 THE LORD, TO BE HIS SERVANTS, EVERYONE THAT KEEPETH 15:29 THE SABBATH FROM POLLUTING IT, AND TAKETH HOLD OF MY COVENANT. 15:33 EVEN THEM I WILL BRING TO MY HOLY MOUNTAIN, AND MAKE THEM 15:37 JOYFUL IN MY HOUSE OF PRAYER." 15:39 HOW DOES GOD PLACE THE SABBATH CONTEXT? 15:42 IS IT SUPPOSED TO BE A BURDEN OR A BLESSING? 15:44 IT'S SUPPOSED TO BRING PEACE AND JOY AND REST AND BOY, 15:47 DO WE EVERY NEED THAT. 15:48 NUMBER TWO, "WHEN DID GOD ESTABLISH THE SABBATH?" 15:52 ANSWER, GENESIS 2:1-3, "THUS THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH WERE 15:58 FINISHED, AND ALL THE HOST OF THEM. 16:01 AND GOD BLESSED THE SEVENTH DAY, AND SANCTIFIED IT BECAUSE IN IT 16:05 HE HAD RESTED FROM ALL HIS WORK WHICH GOD CREATED AND MADE." 16:09 NOW HOW MANY DAYS DID GOD USE TO CREATED THE WORLD? 16:13 SIX DAYS. 16:15 HOW MANY DAYS IN THE WEEK? 16:17 SEVEN DAYS. 16:19 WHY? 16:20 'CAUSE HE MADE ONE MORE DAY. 16:23 HE MADE ONE MORE DAY FOR A RELATIONSHIP. 16:26 NOW LET ME EXPLAIN SOMETHING THAT I THINK IS VERY IMPORTANT, 16:28 VERY, VERY IMPORTANT. 16:30 WHY THIS ISSUE IS SO IMPORTANT TO ME, I'M NOT TRYING TO 16:32 SUPERIMPOSE A NEW LAW ON PEOPLE. 16:36 THE DEVIL HATES THE SABBATH TRUTH AND IT'S VERY SIMPLE 16:39 BECAUSE YOU CANNOT BE SAVED WITHOUT LOVING THE LORD. 16:42 YOU CANNOT BE SAVED WITHOUT KNOWING THE LORD. 16:45 HAVEN'T WE BEEN EMPHASIZING THAT? 16:47 ALL LOVE RELATIONSHIPS ARE BUILT IN THE CONTEXT OF TIME. 16:52 WHAT HAPPENS TO A MARRIAGE WHEN THE HUSBAND AND THE WIFE 16:54 STOP EXPERIENCING QUALITY TIME? 16:57 IT BEGINS TO ERODE AND DETERIORATE. 16:59 DO PEOPLE FALL IN LOVE JUST BY LOOKING AT EACH OTHER OR DO THEY 17:03 NEED TO SPEND TIME COMMUNICATING WITH EACH OTHER? 17:06 IF YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE GOD, YOU NEED QUALITY TIME WITH GOD WHERE 17:09 YOU LAY ASIDE YOUR REGULAR CONCERNS AND REST AND YOU BASK 17:13 IN HIS PRESENCE, YOU COMMUNE WITH HIM, YOU SPEND SACRED TIME 17:16 WITH HIM DEDICATED FOR HIM. 17:18 YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM WILL GROW AS A RESULT. 17:22 THE DEVIL DOES NOT WANT THAT TO HAPPEN AND SO HE WANTS PEOPLE 17:25 TO WORK AND WORK AND WORK SO THEY'RE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD 17:29 EVAPORATES. 17:30 THAT'S WHY THE SABBATH IS SO IMPORTANT, IT IS A CONTEXT, 17:33 A DAY THAT GOD HAS CREATED. 17:34 HE'S BLESSED FOR US TO NURTURE OUR LOVE RELATIONSHIP. 17:37 DO WE NEED IT IN THIS DAY AND AGE WHERE WE WERE ULTRA 17:40 STRESSED? 17:41 I'LL TELL YA WHAT, FRIENDS, IF THERE WAS EVER A CULTURE ON 17:45 THE FACE OF THE WORLD THAT WAS RUNNING TO AND FRO LIKE A BUNCH 17:48 OF MAD CHICKENS WITH THEIR HEADS CUT OFF, IT'S THIS AGE AND 17:51 IT'S THIS CITY IN PARTICULAR. 17:53 JUST BETWEEN MY APARTMENT AND THIS PLACE, YOU GOTTA SPIN AND 17:58 DODGE AND DUCK AND DO CARTWHEELS JUST NOT TO GET BOWLED OVER BY 18:02 TAXIES AND HUMAN CARGO ROARING UP AND DOWN THE STREETS. 18:06 AND EVERYBODY LOOKS SO PLEASANT AND RELAXED AND HAPPY 18:08 AS THEY'RE GOING. 18:11 YOU KNOW THE MEDICAL INDUSTRY, ONE OF THE NUMBER-ONE PRODUCTS 18:14 THAT SOLD IS ANTACID. 18:16 THERE'S SO MUCH ULCERS AND HEARTBURN AND STRESS AND STRAIN, 18:21 AND THIS IS WHAT'S BEING BORN OUT BY THE RESEARCH. 18:24 PEOPLE ARE LIVING UNDER WHAT WE WOULD CALL THE AGE OF RAGE. 18:29 I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE GOT IT IN MANHATTAN. 18:31 YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH CARS IN MANHATTAN, BUT IN L.A. 18:33 EVERYONE'S GOT A CAR, AND EVEN PETS HAVE CARS IN L.A. 18:36 AND PEOPLE ARE SHOOTING EACH OTHER BECAUSE THERE'S TO SO MUCH 18:39 PENT UP RAGE AND THERE'S SO MUCH STRESS. 18:41 COULD THERE BE A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE HUMAN RACE 18:43 FORGETTING TO REST IN THE LORD? 18:47 I THINK THERE IS. 18:48 NUMBER THREE, "WHAT DAY OF THE WEEK IS THE SABBATH?" 18:52 AND SOME OF YOU WILL WONDER, DOES IT MATTER? 18:54 WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT. 18:55 WHAT DAY OF THE WEEK? 18:56 GENESIS 2, INCIDENTALLY IN GENESIS 2:2-3, HOW MANY PEOPLE 19:02 WERE IN THE WORLD THEN? 19:04 TWO. 19:05 WHAT WERE THEIR NAMES? 19:06 ADAM AND EVE. 19:07 WHAT WAS THEIR RELIGION? 19:12 THEY WERE JEWISH, AND EVERYBODY ELSE IS TOO. 19:17 NO, THEY WERE, OF COURSE, GOD'S CHILDREN. 19:20 THEY DIDN'T HAVE ALL THESE DENOMINATIONS BACK THEN. 19:23 "AND ON THE--" SAY IT, "AND ON THE SEVENTH DAY, 19:26 GOD ENDED HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD MADE; AND HE RESTED 19:29 THE SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD MADE. 19:33 AND GOD BLESSED AND SANCTIFIED THE SEVENTH DAY." 19:37 NOW DID YOU NOTICE THAT? 19:38 THE FIRST TIME A NUMBER APPEARS THREE TIMES IN SCRIPTURE IT'S 19:41 THE SABBATH AND IT SAYS THE SEVENTH DAY, THE SEVENTH DAY, 19:44 THE SEVENTH DAY. 19:46 WHEN YOU GET TO THE LAST BOOK OF THE BIBLE, THERE'S A NUMBER 19:49 THAT IS OFTEN USED TO IDENTIFY THE BEAST. 19:52 WHAT IS THAT NUMBER? 19:53 SIX, SIX, SIX. 19:55 THE VERY FIRST BOOK IN THE BIBLE GOD SAYS, "I'VE GOT A NUMBER 19:58 THAT IDENTIFIES MY RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU AND MY CREATIVE POWER," 20:01 AND IT'S THE 7TH DAY. 20:03 WHEN GOD SAYS SOMETHING THREE TIMES, IT IS ETERNAL. 20:06 THE ANGELS AROUND THE THRONE OF GOD GO HOLY, HOLY, HOLY. 20:12 AND WHEN GOD SAYS, "THE SEVENTH DAY, THE SEVENTH DAY, THE 20:15 SEVENTH DAY," WILL YOU NOTICE HE DIDN'T SAY A SEVENTH DAY? 20:19 WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? 20:21 WELL, IF I SAY, COULD YOU BRING ME A CHAIR? 20:24 WELL, YOU COULD ATTEMPT TO THROW ANY CHAIR IN THE ROOM TO ME, 20:27 RIGHT? 20:28 BUT IF I SAY, BRING ME THE CHAIR, YOU KNOW I'M SPEAKING OF 20:31 A SPECIFIC CHAIR. 20:33 "A" MEANS SOMETHING, "THE" MEANS A DEFINITE ARTICLE. 20:39 WHEN GOD SAID, "THE SEVENTH DAY," 20:41 HE WAS BEING VERY DEFINITE. 20:43 THERE'S A LOT OF TRADITIONS THAT PEOPLE HAVE COME TO EMBRACE THAT 20:46 WE LATER DISCOVER ARE NOT ACCURATE; LIKE THE MOON 20:49 IS NOT MADE OF CHEESE AS THEY ONCE SAID. 20:51 OF COURSE, THAT WAS JUST A CHILDREN'S FABLE, BUT SCIENTISTS 20:54 AT ONE POINT SAID THAT THE WORLD WAS FLAT, THAT YOU WOULD SAIL 20:57 OFF THE END. 20:59 COPERNICUS SAID NO, THE EARTH RESOLVES AROUND THE SUN. 21:03 AND GALILEO ALMOST GOT KICKED OUT OF THE CHURCH FOR AGREEING 21:05 WITH HIM. 21:06 THEY SAID, "NO, NO, THE SUN GOES AROUND THE EARTH. 21:09 WE'RE THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE. 21:11 AND THE SCIENTISTS SAID, YES, IT'S TRUE. 21:13 AND THE CHURCH SAID, YES, IT'S TRUE. 21:14 THEY WERE WRONG. 21:16 THE EVIDENCE IS VERY CLEAR. 21:18 AND SO I WANT YOU TO TAKE KEEP YOUR MIND OPEN TO LOOK 21:20 FAITHFULLY AT THE EVIDENCE. 21:21 YOU KNOW THE BIBLE TELLS US YOU'LL KNOW THE TRUTH AND 21:24 THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE. 21:26 I HOPE YOU WILL LOVE THE TRUTH. 21:28 NUMBER FOUR, "HOW HAS GOD DEMONSTRATED THE IMPORTANCE 21:32 OF THE HOLY SABBATH?" 21:33 ANSWER, JESUS SAID, "REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY TO KEEP IT 21:38 HOLY." 21:40 IT GOES ON FURTHER TO SAY, "THE LORD BLESSED THE SABBATH DAY, 21:43 AND HALLOWED IT." 21:45 NOW DOES GOD SAY THAT WE MAKE THE SABBATH HOLY? 21:48 ONE OF THE PEOPLE ON THE STREETS SAYS, "WELL, YOU KNOW YOU 21:50 JUST GOTTA PICK A DAY, YOU GOTTA MAKE TIME." 21:53 DO WE MAKE A DAY HOLY OR DOES GOD DO THAT? 21:56 CAN YOU AND I BLESS AND SANCTIFY A DAY? 21:58 NO. 21:59 IF YOU COME AND YOU TAKE CARE OF MY HOUSE FOR ME WHILE I GO TO 22:02 TOWN AND GO TO THE MARKET AND I SAY, LOOK IT'S COLD, AND 22:05 I GOT A FIRE GOING IN THE STOVE. 22:06 CAN YOU KEEP THE FIRE GOING? 22:07 SAY, "NO PROBLEM, DOUG, I'LL KEEP THE FIRE GOING." 22:10 AND THEN I LEAVE AND YOU WALK OVER TO THE STOVE TO SEE IF IT 22:13 NEEDS ANY WOOD AND THERE'S NO FIRE. 22:15 THERE'S NOT EVEN ANY WARM COALS. 22:16 IT'S DEAD COLD EMPTY. 22:18 AND YOU SAY, "WHY DID DOUG SAY 'KEEP THE FIRE GOING' 22:20 WHEN THERE'S NO FIRE?" 22:21 RIGHT? 22:22 WHEN GOD SAYS KEEP THE SABBATH DAY HOLY, HE'S SAYING, "I MADE 22:25 IT HOLY BACK AT CREATION AND I'M COMMANDING YOU TO KEEP IT HOLY." 22:30 JUST BECAUSE WE DON'T ACCEPT IT OR DON'T KNOW ABOUT 22:33 IT DOESN'T MEAN IS IT NOT A DAY WHEN GOD HAS BLESSED. 22:36 THE BIBLE SAYS WHEN GOD BLESSES SOMETHING, IT'S BLESSED FOREVER. 22:39 WITH THIS DAY GOD RESTED, GOD BLESSED IT AND HE SANCTIFIED IT. 22:43 MAN WAS MADE IN HIS IMAGE. 22:45 HE WANTED US TO FOLLOW THAT. 22:46 DO WE STILL NEED REST? 22:48 SURE WE DO, SPIRITUAL AND PHYSICAL REST. 22:51 FURTHERMORE, SOME PEOPLE SAY, "WELL, JESUS CAME TO DO AWAY 22:54 WITH THE LAW, WE DON'T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THAT, 22:56 THAT HE FULFILLED IT." 22:57 IS THAT WHAT CHRIST SAID? 22:58 SOME OF YOU ARE SAYING, "PASTOR DOUG, 23:00 I CAME TO THIS SEMINAR. 23:01 I WANTED TO HEAR ABOUT PROPHECY AND YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ONE 23:03 OF THE COMMANDMENTS." 23:04 YOU NEED TO TAKE THAT UP WITH JESUS. 23:05 LISTEN TO WHAT THE LORD SAYS, MATTHEW 5:19, "WHOSOEVER 23:10 THEREFORE SHALL BREAK ONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE COMMANDMENTS, 23:13 AND SHALL TEACH MEN SO, HE SHALL BE CALLED LEAST IN 23:17 THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. 23:18 BUT WHOSOEVER SHALL DO AND TEACH THEM, THE SAME SHALL BE CALLED 23:23 GREAT IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN." 23:25 I'D LIKE THE LORD TO SPEAK OF ME OF GREAT AND SO I WANT TO DO 23:27 IT AND I WANT TO TEACH IT. 23:29 AND THERE'S A CURSE PRONOUNCED ON THOSE WHO BREAK IT AND TELL 23:32 OTHER PEOPLE TO INTENTIONALLY. 23:35 THAT'S THE ISSUE I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND. 23:36 NUMBER FIVE, "OF WHAT TWO THINGS, OF WHAT TWO PRECIOUS 23:40 THINGS DOES GOD SAY THE SABBATH IS A SIGN?" 23:44 YOU CAN READ IN EXODUS 31:17 IT SAYS, "IT IS A SIGN BETWEEN 23:50 ME AND THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL FOREVER: FOR IN SIX DAYS 23:54 THE LORD MADE HEAVEN AND EARTH." 23:58 SO ONE THING IT'S A SIGN OF HIM BEING THE MAKER, THE CREATOR 24:02 AND HE WILL RECREATE US. 24:05 HOW MANY OF US NEED HIM TO CREATE A NEW HEART IN US? 24:08 THE SABBATH IS A SIGN THAT HE CAN RECREATE OUR HEARTS. 24:11 FURTHERMORE IF YOU GO TO EZEKIEL 20:12 IT SAYS, 24:15 "I GAVE THEM MY SABBATHS, TO BE A SIGN BETWEEN 24:17 ME AND THEM, THAT THEY MIGHT KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD 24:20 THAT SANCTIFIES THEM." 24:23 HE REDEEMS AND SANCTIFIES AND HE CREATES. 24:27 SANCTIFY MEANS TO MAKE HOLY. 24:29 HOW MANY OF US NEED TO BE MADE HOLY? 24:31 NOW THE FIRST PART OF THAT ANSWER SAYS THE SABBATH 24:33 IS A SIGN BETWEEN ME AND THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL. 24:35 SOME OF YOU ARE SAYING, "THERE IT IS, DOUG, IT'S BETWEEN 24:38 THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL AND GOD. 24:40 IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH CHRISTIANS." 24:41 ARE WE UNDER THE NOW COVENANT OR THE OLD COVENANT TODAY? 24:46 YOU DON'T SOUND SURE. 24:47 DON'T BE BASHFUL. 24:48 WE'RE LIVING IN THE NEW COVENANT TIME, RIGHT? 24:50 LET ME QUOTE THE NEW COVENANT FOR YOU. 24:53 ANYBODY WHO GETS SAVED, YOU'RE SAVED BASED ON THE COVENANT OF 24:55 SALVATION THAT GOD MADE. 24:57 THE LORD HAS NOW ESTABLISHED A NEW COVENANT. 25:00 THE NEW COVENANT, THIS IS WHAT IT SAYS, "I WILL MAKE 25:03 A NEW COVENANT AFTER THOSE DAYS WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL." 25:07 ARE YOU AWARE THAT NOWHERE IN THE BIBLE DOES GOD MAKE 25:10 A COVENANT WITH ANYBODY BUT THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL? 25:14 THAT'S WHY PAUL SAYS IF YOU'RE A CHRISTIAN, YOU ARE ABRAHAM'S 25:17 SEED. 25:18 YOU ARE ADOPTED SPIRITUALLY AS JEWS INTO THE FAMILY. 25:22 >> STAY TUNED, WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK AFTER 25:27 THESE IMPORTANT MESSAGES.
