TODAY'S PRESENTATION IS AN
EXCERPT FROM "THE MILLENNIUM
00:00:41.06\00:00:43.36
OF PROPHECY" VIDEO SERIES.
00:00:43.36\00:00:45.76
>> YOU REMEMBER A LITTLE
BIT OF REHEARSAL THAT THE KING
00:00:50.50\00:00:54.20
OF BABYLON,
BELSHAZZAR, HAD A WILD FEAST.
00:00:54.20\00:00:57.43
AND IN THE PARTY, HE BEGAN
TO MOCK THE GOD OF HEAVEN AND
00:00:57.43\00:01:00.63
HE USED THESE HOLY VESSELS
TO PRAISE THE GODS OF SILVER
00:01:00.63\00:01:04.43
AND GOLD AND WOOD
AND STONE AND CLAY.
00:01:04.43\00:01:07.76
AND AS A RESULT OF THAT, THIS
HANDWRITING APPEARED ON THE WALL
00:01:07.76\00:01:12.83
AND IT PRONOUNCED
THE JUDGMENT ON BABYLON.
00:01:12.83\00:01:15.26
THEY DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT THE HANDWRITING MEANT
00:01:15.26\00:01:17.13
SO THEY BROUGHT IN DANIEL
AND DANIEL THEN INTERPRETED IT
00:01:17.13\00:01:19.86
"MENE, MENE, TEKEL UPHARSIN."
00:01:19.86\00:01:22.83
YOU ARE WEIGHED IN THE BALANCES
AND FOUND WANTING AND YOUR
00:01:22.83\00:01:25.40
KINGDOM IS NOW DIVIDED AND GIVEN
TO THE MEDES AND THE PERSIANS.
00:01:25.40\00:01:29.00
MATTER OF FACT THAT VERY NIGHT
THE MEDES AND THE PERSIANS WERE
00:01:29.00\00:01:32.50
DIVERTING EUPHRATES RIVER
WHERE IT WENT UNDER THE WALLS OF
00:01:32.50\00:01:36.13
BABYLON AND THE
KINGDOM OF BABYLON FELL.
00:01:36.13\00:01:39.03
ALL OF THE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS
AND THE CABINET THAT HAD SERVED
00:01:39.03\00:01:43.20
BELSHAZZAR WERE
EXECUTED WITH ONE EXCEPTION.
00:01:43.20\00:01:46.50
THAT OLD PATRIARCH AND
PROPHET DAME NAMED DANIEL,
00:01:46.50\00:01:50.63
HE WAS SPARED BECAUSE HE
HAD AN EXCELLENT SPIRIT IN HIM.
00:01:50.63\00:01:54.86
MATTER OF FACT, HE CAME
ONE OF THE PRIME ADVISORS OF
00:01:54.86\00:01:57.83
KING DARIUS OF--THE MEDIAN KING.
00:01:57.83\00:02:01.13
AND DARIUS WAS SO IMPRESSED WITH
THE WISDOM AND THE COMMITMENT
00:02:01.13\00:02:06.26
AND THE HONESTY OF DANIEL,
HE WAS THINKING ABOUT PUTTING
00:02:06.26\00:02:09.36
DANIEL IN CHARGE OF THE
WHOLE EMPIRE OF MEDO-PERSIA,
00:02:09.36\00:02:12.86
PRIME MINISTER.
00:02:12.86\00:02:14.10
WELL, WHEN THE OTHER
MEDO-PERSIAN GOVERNMENT
00:02:14.10\00:02:16.60
OFFICIALS HEARD THAT, THEY WERE
OUTRAGED THAT THEY WOULD TAKE
00:02:16.60\00:02:19.13
THIS CAPTIVE FROM JUDAH AND
THAT THEY WOULD BE REPLACED.
00:02:19.13\00:02:22.63
THEY WENT BEFORE THE KING
AND THEY SOUGHT TO FIND OCCASION
00:02:22.63\00:02:25.93
AGAINST DANIEL CONCERNING THE
KINGDOM, HAD PRIVATE DETECTIVES
00:02:25.93\00:02:29.30
FOLLOWING HIM AROUND TRYING TO
FIND SOMETHING THAT HE WAS DOING
00:02:29.30\00:02:32.23
WRONG, BUT THEY FOUND HE
WAS FAITHFUL IN EVERY AREA OF
00:02:32.23\00:02:35.30
HIS LIFE.
00:02:35.30\00:02:36.33
FINALLY THEY PERSUADED THE KING
TO MAKE A LAW AND THIS, THE IDEA
00:02:36.33\00:02:41.40
WAS YOU MAKE THIS RELIGIOUS
POLITICAL LAW AND IT WILL
00:02:41.40\00:02:44.73
WELD THE KINGDOM TOGETHER.
00:02:44.73\00:02:46.63
THAT'S WHY NEBUCHADNEZZAR
MADE THE GOLDEN STATUE TO TRY
00:02:46.63\00:02:50.30
AND CREATE SOLIDARITY AMONG
ALL THESE DIFFERENT NATIONS.
00:02:50.30\00:02:55.56
MAKE A LAW THAT NOBODY
SHOULD PRAY TO ANYBODY BUT YOU
00:02:55.56\00:02:58.33
FOR THE NEXT 30 DAYS.
00:02:58.33\00:03:00.26
AND THE KING FELT, "WELL
YEAH, MAKE THE KINGDOM STRONGER"
00:03:00.26\00:03:03.66
AND IT APPEALED TO HIS
EGO SO HE SIGNED IT INTO LAW.
00:03:03.66\00:03:06.66
AND THE BIBLE TELLS US THE LAW
OF THE MEDES AND THE PERSIANS
00:03:06.66\00:03:09.56
CANNOT BE CHANGED.
00:03:09.56\00:03:11.53
IT SAYS IT FOUR TIMES, IT CANNOT
BE CHANGED AND THEY KNEW THAT.
00:03:11.53\00:03:15.80
NOW THIS SCRIPTURE
REALLY STIRS ME WITH EMOTION.
00:03:15.80\00:03:20.03
IT TELLS US IN DANIEL
6:15-- OR VERSE 10, I'M SORRY.
00:03:20.03\00:03:24.03
"NOW WHEN DANIEL KNEW
THAT THE WRITING WAS SIGNED--"
00:03:24.03\00:03:28.46
HE KNEW ABOUT THE DEATH DECREE--
"HE WENT INTO HIS HOUSE;
00:03:28.46\00:03:31.33
HIS WINDOWS BEING OPEN IN HIS
CHAMBER TOWARD JERUSALEM, AND
00:03:31.33\00:03:36.33
HE KNEELED UPON HIS KNEES THREE
TIMES A DAY, AND HE PRAYED, AND
00:03:36.33\00:03:40.93
HE GAVE THANKS BEFORE HIS
GOD, AS HE HAD ALWAYS DONE."
00:03:40.93\00:03:44.53
DANIEL COULD HAVE USED
THAT SCRIPTURE WHERE JESUS SAID,
00:03:44.53\00:03:47.43
"ENTER INTO YOUR CLOSET AND SHUT
THE DOOR" BUT HE WAS NOT GOING
00:03:47.43\00:03:51.50
TO HIDE HIS
RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.
00:03:51.50\00:03:53.60
HE FLUNG HIS WINDOWS OPEN.
00:03:53.60\00:03:54.76
HE PRAYED TOWARD JERUSALEM.
00:03:54.76\00:03:56.60
HE GOT ON HIS KNEES WHERE HE WAS
IN A PHYSICAL POSTURE OF PRAYER,
00:03:56.60\00:04:00.06
AND HE PRAYED OUT LOUD.
00:04:00.06\00:04:02.56
HE PUT THE LAW OF GOD
AHEAD OF THE LAW OF MAN.
00:04:02.56\00:04:06.93
THE LAW OF GOD SAID, "THOU SHALT
NOT HAVE OTHER GODS AND THAT
00:04:06.93\00:04:10.13
EVEN MEANS THE KING OF PERSIA,
EVEN IF IT MEANS YOU'RE GONNA
00:04:10.13\00:04:12.63
LOSE YOUR JOB.
00:04:12.63\00:04:13.56
EVEN IF IT MEANS YOU'RE
GOING TO LOSE YOUR LIFE.
00:04:13.56\00:04:16.33
DID GOD HONOR DANIEL
FOR HIS FAITHFULNESS?
00:04:16.33\00:04:20.06
SURE ENOUGH.
00:04:20.06\00:04:20.76
WELL, YOU KNOW THE SPIES WERE
WATCHING AND PRETTY SOON THEY
00:04:20.76\00:04:22.96
RAN TO THE KING AND THEY SAID,
"KING, YOU KNOW YOU MADE THAT
00:04:22.96\00:04:25.36
LAW AND THE LAW DOES NOT CHANGE
THAT IF ANYBODY PRAYS TO ANY GOD
00:04:25.36\00:04:28.36
OR MAN FOR 30 DAYS EXCEPT YOU,
HE'S GOING TO THE LIONS' DEN."
00:04:28.36\00:04:32.56
AND THAT WAS A DEATH
DECREE BACK IN THOSE DAYS.
00:04:32.56\00:04:35.73
THESE WERE FEROCIOUS,
ASIAN LIONS, AND THE KING SAID
00:04:35.73\00:04:39.33
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:04:39.33\00:04:40.10
THAT'S THE LAW.
00:04:40.10\00:04:40.76
AND THEY SAID, THAT DANIEL FROM
THE CAPTIVITY OF JUDAH, HE BROKE
00:04:40.76\00:04:44.86
YOUR LAW, AND THE
KING WAS OUTRAGED.
00:04:44.86\00:04:47.03
HE DID EVERYTHING HE COULD TO
TRY AND FIND SOME LEGAL LOOPHOLE
00:04:47.03\00:04:50.10
TO SAVE DANIEL, BUT
THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO.
00:04:50.10\00:04:52.86
AND SO FINALLY, REGRETTABLY,
HE HAD TO GO AHEAD AND FULFILL
00:04:52.86\00:04:55.96
THE LAW.
00:04:55.96\00:04:56.70
THE KING COULD
NOT CHANGE THE LAW.
00:04:56.70\00:04:58.43
"AND THE KING GAVE THE COMMAND,
AND THEY BROUGHT DANIEL AND THEY
00:04:58.43\00:05:01.36
CAST HIM INTO THE DEN OF LIONS.
00:05:01.36\00:05:03.30
AND THE KING SPOKE AND SAID
TO DANIEL, 'YOUR GOD WHO YOUR
00:05:03.30\00:05:06.86
SERVE,'" FROM TIME TO
TIME, OCCASIONALLY, WHEN IT'S
00:05:06.86\00:05:10.96
CONVENIENT, "YOUR GOD
WHO YOU SERVE CONTINUALLY,
00:05:10.96\00:05:15.76
HE WILL DELIVER YOU."
00:05:15.76\00:05:18.80
HE MIGHT DELIVER YOU?
00:05:18.80\00:05:20.56
FRIENDS, YOU KNOW
THAT'S A WONDERFUL PROMISE,
00:05:20.56\00:05:22.26
IF YOU SERVE GOD
CONTINUALLY HE WILL DELIVER YOU.
00:05:22.26\00:05:26.66
AND THERE IS A SIMILAR
TEST COMING TO THE PEOPLE
00:05:26.66\00:05:29.53
OF THIS PLANET.
00:05:29.53\00:05:30.43
THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO LEARN.
00:05:30.43\00:05:31.66
SO A STONE WAS PLACED ON THE
MOUTH OF THE LIONS' DEN, JUST
00:05:31.66\00:05:35.43
AS A STONE WAS
PLACED ON CHRIST'S TOMB.
00:05:35.43\00:05:38.33
AND IT WAS SEALED WITH A
GOVERNMENT SEAL JUST AS THERE
00:05:38.33\00:05:40.93
WAS A GOVERNMENT SEAL
PLACED ON THE TOMB OF JESUS.
00:05:40.93\00:05:43.86
AND THE KING THEN WENT AND
HE SPENT THE NIGHT IN FASTING
00:05:43.86\00:05:46.16
BACK AT HIS PALACE.
00:05:46.16\00:05:47.36
FIRST THING IN THE MORNING,
HE CAME TO THE LION'S DEN AND
00:05:47.36\00:05:50.10
HE PULLED THE COVER OFF AND
HE CALLED TO DANIEL AND HE SAID,
00:05:50.10\00:05:53.26
"DANIEL, HAS YOUR GOD WHO YOU
SERVE BEEN ABLE TO DELIVER YOU?"
00:05:53.26\00:05:56.83
THEY'D NEVER HEARD ANYBODY
TALKING OUT OF THE LION'S DEN
00:05:56.83\00:05:59.36
BEFORE.
00:05:59.36\00:06:00.56
NOBODY HAD EVER COME OUT
OF THE LION'S DEN BEFORE.
00:06:00.56\00:06:03.93
AND A VOICE CAME UP AND THE
KING'S MOUTH DROPPED OPEN AND
00:06:03.93\00:06:07.46
HE SAID, "KING, LIVE FOREVER.
00:06:07.46\00:06:10.46
MY GOD HAS SENT HIS ANGEL,
AND HAS SHUT THE LIONS' MOUTH,
00:06:10.46\00:06:14.86
AND THEY HAVE NOT HURT
ME: BECAUSE I WAS INNOCENT
00:06:14.86\00:06:17.66
BEFORE YOU AND BEFORE GOD."
00:06:17.66\00:06:19.66
AND DANIEL WAS
BROUGHT OUT OF THE LIONS' DEN.
00:06:19.66\00:06:22.00
NOW SOME PEOPLE THINK,
THIS WAS NO MIRACLE, AND
00:06:22.00\00:06:24.00
THE LIONS JUST WEREN'T HUNGRY.
00:06:24.00\00:06:26.06
YOU KNOW THEY HAD JUST EATEN
SCORES OF BABYLONIAN POLITICIANS
00:06:26.06\00:06:30.63
AND THEY WERE PROBABLY
LAYING WITH SWOLLEN BELLIES AT
00:06:30.63\00:06:32.66
THE BOTTOM OF THE DEN BURPING,
AND THEY COULDN'T EAT ANOTHER--
00:06:32.66\00:06:35.26
THEY GROANED AND ROLLED OVER
WHEN DANIEL WAS THROWN IN THERE.
00:06:35.26\00:06:37.53
THIS WAS NO MIRACLE.
00:06:37.53\00:06:39.06
YOU KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE GET
INTO TROUBLE 'CAUSE THEY DON'T
00:06:39.06\00:06:40.96
KEEP ON READING IN THE BIBLE.
00:06:40.96\00:06:43.20
REMINDS ME ABOUT A STORY WHERE
A YOUNG MAN WENT TO A MISSION
00:06:43.20\00:06:46.60
HERE IN NEW YORK CITY.
00:06:46.60\00:06:48.16
AND AFTER HE ACCEPTED THE
LORD, HIS LIFE WAS CHANGED.
00:06:48.16\00:06:50.53
THEY GAVE HIM A BIBLE.
00:06:50.53\00:06:51.50
HE WENT AND SAT ON A PARK
BENCH THERE IN CENTRAL PARK AND
00:06:51.50\00:06:54.13
STARTED READING THE BIBLE.
00:06:54.13\00:06:55.10
AND HE COULDN'T CONTAIN
HIMSELF, HE WAS SO EXCITED.
00:06:55.10\00:06:57.26
HE HAD NEVER KNOWN
THESE THINGS BEFORE.
00:06:57.26\00:06:58.93
PRETTY SOON HE
SAID, "THANK YOU, LORD.
00:06:58.93\00:07:00.43
PRAISE THE LORD.
00:07:00.43\00:07:01.36
HALLELUJAH."
00:07:01.36\00:07:02.13
HE HAD HEARD THEM SAY
THAT BACK AT THE MISSION.
00:07:02.13\00:07:03.66
HE WANTED TO EXPRESS
HIS GRATITUDE TO GOD.
00:07:03.66\00:07:05.76
WELL, THERE WAS AN
ATHEIST WALKING BY AND HE HEARD
00:07:05.76\00:07:07.60
THE YOUNG MAN WITH ALL
THIS RELIGIOUS EXPRESSION.
00:07:07.60\00:07:10.06
HE SAID, "WHY ARE
YOU SHOUTING LIKE THIS?"
00:07:10.06\00:07:11.76
OH, AND THE YOUNG
CHRISTIAN MAN SAID,
00:07:11.76\00:07:13.60
"SIR, THIS IS WONDERFUL.
00:07:13.60\00:07:14.90
I'M READING IN THE BIBLE WHERE
THE LORD PARTED THE RED SEA
00:07:14.90\00:07:18.03
AND THE CHILDREN OF
ISRAEL WENT OVER ON DRY GROUND."
00:07:18.03\00:07:21.13
AND THIS DISTINGUISHED-LOOKING
ATHEIST SAID, "YOUNG MAN, I
00:07:21.13\00:07:24.16
DON'T MEAN TO BURST YOUR BUBBLE
BUT IT WAS THE SEA OF REEDS
00:07:24.16\00:07:27.20
AND IT WAS ONLY 6-INCHES DEEP."
00:07:27.20\00:07:29.16
WELL, HE LOOKED SO DISTINGUISHED
AND INTELLIGENT, THE YOUNG
00:07:29.16\00:07:32.00
CONVERT DIDN'T
WANT TO CONTRADICT HIM.
00:07:32.00\00:07:34.33
AND HE SAID, "THANK
YOU, I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT.
00:07:34.33\00:07:36.10
APPRECIATE THAT."
00:07:36.10\00:07:37.20
JUST AS THE ATHEIST GOT A LITTLE
WAYS AWAY, HE HEARD THE YOUNG
00:07:37.20\00:07:39.63
MAN SHOUTING, "PRAISE THE LORD.
00:07:39.63\00:07:40.90
HALLELUJAH.
00:07:40.90\00:07:41.60
THIS IS WONDERFUL."
00:07:41.60\00:07:42.53
AND HE CAME BACK OVER HE SAID,
"NOW WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING?"
00:07:42.53\00:07:44.63
HE SAID, MISTER, "THE LORD JUST
DROWNED THE WHOLE EGYPTIAN ARMY
00:07:44.63\00:07:46.96
IN 6 INCHES OF WATER!"
00:07:46.96\00:07:51.63
NOW IF YOU DON'T THINK THE LIONS
WERE HUNGRY, THE BIBLE SAYS
00:07:51.63\00:07:55.90
THEN THEY TOOK THE MEN WHO HAD
ACCUSED DANIEL AND THEY THREW
00:07:55.90\00:08:00.60
THEM IN THE LIONS' DEN AND THE
LIONS HAD THE MASTERY OF THEM
00:08:00.60\00:08:04.06
AND BROKE ALL THEIR BONES
IN PIECES BEFORE THEY EVER HIT
00:08:04.06\00:08:06.93
THE BOTTOM.
00:08:06.93\00:08:08.06
THIS WAS A MIRACLE.
00:08:08.06\00:08:09.46
YOU DON'T THINK THE
FIERY FURNACE WAS HOT?
00:08:09.46\00:08:11.43
IT WAS HOT ENOUGH TO KILL THOSE
WHO THREW IN SHADRACH, MESHACH
00:08:11.43\00:08:14.00
AND ABEDNEGO, RIGHT?
00:08:14.00\00:08:15.70
GOD ALWAYS BACKS UP HIS
MIRACLES ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
00:08:15.70\00:08:18.76
NOW AMAZING FACTS WENT OUT
ON THE STREETS IN MANHATTAN.
00:08:18.76\00:08:22.16
WE WANTED TO GET A FEEL FROM
THE PEOPLE HERE IN THIS BIG CITY
00:08:22.16\00:08:24.96
TO FIND OUT HOW DO THEY
REACT TO THE LAW OF GOD.
00:08:24.96\00:08:28.60
DO THEY THINK THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS ARE STILL
00:08:28.60\00:08:30.83
RELEVANT TODAY.
00:08:30.83\00:08:32.26
I WANT YOU TO TAKE A
LOOK AT SOME OF THE RESPONSES
00:08:32.26\00:08:34.43
THAT WE RECEIVED.
00:08:34.43\00:08:39.36
>> I BELIEVE THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS ARE RELEVANT
00:08:41.06\00:08:42.56
BECAUSE TODAY WE HAVE TO HAVE
SOME KIND OF MORAL BACKGROUND,
00:08:42.56\00:08:47.13
MORAL FIBER TO KEEP US ALL
IN FOCUS AND HARMONY TOGETHER.
00:08:47.13\00:08:51.03
>> I AM A CHRISTIAN AND I
DO THINK THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
00:08:51.03\00:08:53.46
ARE RELEVANT TODAY.
00:08:53.46\00:08:55.16
>> AS FOR RELIGION PER SE, MY
BELIEF IS IF THE PERSON IS GOOD,
00:08:55.16\00:08:59.36
THEY DON'T NEED RELIGION.
00:08:59.36\00:09:01.70
>> YES, I BELIEVE THEY ARE
RELATIVE TODAY BECAUSE JUST
00:09:01.70\00:09:03.60
EVERYDAY LIVING, YOU KNOW THINGS
THAT PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW, IN
00:09:03.60\00:09:06.73
SCHOOL, ESPECIALLY YOUNG KIDS.
00:09:06.73\00:09:08.06
YES, I DO THINK
THEY'RE RELEVANT.
00:09:08.06\00:09:10.00
>> NOT REALLY BECAUSE I
DON'T THINK ANYBODY FOLLOWS
00:09:10.00\00:09:11.83
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:09:11.83\00:09:12.80
I DON'T EVEN THINK HALF
THE PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THEY ARE.
00:09:12.80\00:09:14.93
>> YES, I BELIEVE
THAT TEN COMMITMENT
00:09:14.93\00:09:17.56
ARE IMPORTANT BECAUSE OF
IT STILL HAS GOOD VALUES,
00:09:17.56\00:09:22.53
AND I THINK STUDENTS
NEEDS TO LEARN GOOD STUFF.
00:09:22.53\00:09:26.30
>> I BELIEVE THAT THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS ARE IMPORTANT
00:09:26.30\00:09:28.60
TODAY BECAUSE JESUS,
WHEN HE CAME PREACHING
00:09:28.60\00:09:31.26
THE KINGDOM OF GOD, HE SAID THAT
THE MOST IMPORTANT COMMANDMENT
00:09:31.26\00:09:35.26
WAS FOR US TO LOVE THE LORD OUR
GOD WITH ALL OF OUR HEART, SOUL,
00:09:35.26\00:09:38.06
STRENGTH AND MIND AND THAT IS OF
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ONE THROUGH
00:09:38.06\00:09:41.53
FOUR.
00:09:41.53\00:09:42.53
AND THEN HE ALSO SAID THAT
WE SHOULD LOVE OUR NEIGHBOR
00:09:42.53\00:09:44.80
AS OURSELF.
00:09:44.80\00:09:46.00
>> WE SHOULD DEFINITELY
STILL KEEP THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
00:09:46.00\00:09:48.36
BECAUSE GOD'S WORD STILL EXISTS.
00:09:48.36\00:09:51.26
HIS WORD'S STILL ALIVE AND IT
STILL EXISTS TODAY AS YESTERDAY,
00:09:51.26\00:09:53.83
EVEN AS TODAY.
00:09:53.83\00:09:55.36
>> I BELIEVE THAT THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS ARE IMPORTANT
00:09:55.36\00:09:59.13
TO EACH PERSON IN THEIR OWN WAY,
BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT IT'S BEEN
00:09:59.13\00:10:03.93
LOOSELY TRANSLATED NOW AND IT
BASICALLY DEPENDS ON WHAT KIND
00:10:03.93\00:10:08.53
OF A PERSON YOU WANT TO BE.
00:10:08.53\00:10:13.00
>> INTERESTING SPECTRUM OF
ANSWERS THAT PEOPLE HAVE THERE
00:10:13.00\00:10:16.50
ABOUT HOW WE'RE SUPPOSED
TO RELATE TO THE LAW OF GOD.
00:10:16.50\00:10:18.96
YOU KNOW WHAT I WANTED TO DO?
00:10:18.96\00:10:20.00
THOSE WHO SAID, "YES, I
THINK WE SHOULD KEEP 'EM,"
00:10:20.00\00:10:22.50
I WAS GONNA SAY, COULD
YOU PLEASE NAME THEM FOR ME?
00:10:22.50\00:10:27.20
NOW IT'S TIME FOR US TO GET INTO
OUR STUDY OF THE LAW OF GOD.
00:10:27.20\00:10:32.70
NUMBER TEN, "UPON WHAT LAW
IS THE NEW COVENANT BASED?"
00:10:32.70\00:10:38.30
HEBREWS 8:8--NO,
NO, NO, HEBREWS 8:10.
00:10:38.30\00:10:42.06
"FOR THIS IS THE
COVENANT THAT I WILL MAKE,
00:10:42.06\00:10:44.30
SAYS THE LORD; I WILL PUT
MY LAW IN THEIR MINDS, AND
00:10:44.30\00:10:49.50
WRITE THEM IN THEIR HEARTS."
00:10:49.50\00:10:52.03
YOU KNOW WHEN WE
SIN, IT HURTS US.
00:10:52.03\00:10:55.33
WHEN WE SIN, IT HURTS
OTHERS AND IT HURTS GOD.
00:10:55.33\00:10:59.23
THE GREAT COMMANDMENT IS TO LOVE
THE LORD AND LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR
00:10:59.23\00:11:02.73
AS YOURSELF.
00:11:02.73\00:11:04.26
YOU NOTICE THAT GREAT
COMMANDMENT INCLUDES EVERYBODY.
00:11:04.26\00:11:06.66
LOVE THE LORD AND LOVE YOUR
NEIGHBOR AS YOU LOVE YOURSELF.
00:11:06.66\00:11:10.60
I HEARD SOMEONE SAY THAT
THE TRUE MEANING OF HAPPINESS
00:11:10.60\00:11:13.93
IS SPELLED J-O-Y,
JESUS, OTHERS AND THEN YOU.
00:11:13.93\00:11:20.16
THE WORLD HAS TURNED THAT
EQUATION UPSIDE DOWN WHERE THEY
00:11:20.16\00:11:22.50
SAY, "YOU TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF
FIRST AND THEN TAKE CARE OF
00:11:22.50\00:11:24.86
OTHERS, YOU KNOW HUMANITARIAN.
00:11:24.86\00:11:26.13
AND THEN IF THERE'S TIME
LEFT, WE'LL THINK ABOUT GOD."
00:11:26.13\00:11:28.60
BUT NO, GOD SAYS, "I COME FIRST.
00:11:28.60\00:11:30.23
LOVE ME WITH ALL YOUR HEART,
MIND, SOUL AND STRENGTH, THEN
00:11:30.23\00:11:32.40
YOU LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AND THEN
WHEN YOU GIVE, YOU'LL BE HAPPY."
00:11:32.40\00:11:36.63
WE HAVE EVERYTHING
INVERTED BACKWARDS.
00:11:36.63\00:11:39.76
NUMBER 11, "DOES LIVING UNDER
GRACE, BY FAITH, MAKE KEEPING
00:11:39.76\00:11:43.30
GOD'S LAW NON-ESSENTIAL?"
00:11:43.30\00:11:45.76
ROMANS 6:15, "WHAT THEN?
00:11:45.76\00:11:47.86
SHALL WE SIN," BREAK GOD'S
LAW, "BECAUSE WE'RE NOT UNDER
00:11:47.86\00:11:51.43
THE LAW BUT UNDER GRACE?"
00:11:51.43\00:11:52.53
WHAT DOES PAUL SAY?
00:11:52.53\00:11:53.30
"GOD FORBID."
00:11:53.30\00:11:55.83
ROMANS 3:31, "DO WE THEN
MAKE VOID THE LAW THROUGH FAITH?
00:11:55.83\00:12:00.23
GOD FORBID: YEA WE
ESTABLISH THE LAW."
00:12:00.23\00:12:05.13
WHEN WE HAVE FAITH,
WE ESTABLISH THE LAW.
00:12:05.13\00:12:07.20
WE DON'T NULLIFY OR NEGATE
OR MAKE VOID THE LAW BY FAITH.
00:12:07.20\00:12:10.33
PAUL SAYS IN
ROMANS 3-- WHAT IS IT?
00:12:10.33\00:12:16.66
ROMANS 2:13, "IT IS NOT THE
HEARERS OF THE LAW THAT ARE JUST
00:12:16.66\00:12:20.73
BEFORE GOD, BUT THE DOERS
OF THE LAW SHALL BE JUSTIFIED."
00:12:20.73\00:12:24.30
GOD WANTS US TO OBEY.
00:12:24.30\00:12:25.46
THE BIBLE SAYS WE'VE GOT SO MANY
PEOPLE THAT SAY, "LORD, LORD"
00:12:25.46\00:12:27.63
AND THEY DO NOT THE WILL
OF THEIR FATHER IN HEAVEN.
00:12:27.63\00:12:30.60
WHAT IS THE WILL OF GOD?
00:12:30.60\00:12:32.06
NO, WAIT, LET ME BACK UP.
00:12:32.06\00:12:33.36
FIRST I WANT TO
STRING YOU ALONG.
00:12:33.36\00:12:35.53
HOW MANY OF YOU AGREE
WITH ME THAT GOD WANTS US TO DO
00:12:35.53\00:12:39.06
HIS WILL, THAT IT'S CRITICAL TO
OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD?
00:12:39.06\00:12:43.40
WHAT IS THE WILL OF GOD?
00:12:43.40\00:12:45.23
PSALMS 40:8, "YEA,
I LOVE TO DO THY WILL.
00:12:45.23\00:12:48.93
THY LAW IS WITHIN MY HEART."
00:12:48.93\00:12:52.40
WHEN YOU'VE GOT THE LAW OF
GOD IN YOUR HEART, YOU'LL WANT
00:12:52.40\00:12:54.56
TO DO THE WILL OF GOD.
00:12:54.56\00:12:56.00
THAT'S THE WAY IT NEEDS TO WORK.
00:12:56.00\00:12:58.33
AND THE MORE TIME YOU SPEND
LOOKING AT GOD, YOU'LL DEVELOP
00:12:58.33\00:13:00.56
A LOVE RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.
00:13:00.56\00:13:02.50
NOW I WANT TO TALK ABOUT
NOT BEING--WELL, I CAN'T MAKE
00:13:02.50\00:13:06.03
UP MY MIND.
00:13:06.03\00:13:07.46
I'M RUNNING OUT OF
TIME AND I'VE GOT A THOUSAND
00:13:07.46\00:13:09.43
THINGS LEFT TO SAY.
00:13:09.43\00:13:11.86
I'VE BEEN TO TRAFFIC
SCHOOL SEVERAL TIMES.
00:13:11.86\00:13:15.03
>> HOW MANY?
00:13:15.03\00:13:15.83
>> I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES,
BUT I COULD TEACH THE COURSE.
00:13:15.83\00:13:18.60
I HAVEN'T BEEN LATELY.
00:13:18.60\00:13:21.73
MY INSURANCE IS
ACTUALLY CLEAN NOW BECAUSE
00:13:21.73\00:13:23.66
I THINK I'VE LEARNED MY LESSON.
00:13:23.66\00:13:25.26
YOU GOTTA LOOK AT ALL YOUR
MIRRORS, BUT MORE THAN ONCE I'VE
00:13:25.26\00:13:29.66
BEEN PULLED OVER AND YOU
KNOW THAT SINKING FEELING.
00:13:29.66\00:13:32.33
YOU KNOW ONE TIME, I
DON'T KNOW WHAT I WAS THINKING.
00:13:32.33\00:13:34.13
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.
00:13:34.13\00:13:34.93
I HAD JUST COME OFF A HIGHWAY
WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT WAS LIKE
00:13:34.93\00:13:38.13
65 OR 70, AND I WAS IN THAT
MODE AND THEN I WENT ON ANOTHER
00:13:38.13\00:13:41.50
HIGHWAY WHERE IT WAS 55.
00:13:41.50\00:13:43.00
AND I WASN'T EVEN
PAYING ATTENTION AND I PASSED
00:13:43.00\00:13:46.13
A HIGHWAY PATROLMAN.
00:13:46.13\00:13:47.63
HE WASN'T PARKED ON THE SIDE.
00:13:47.63\00:13:48.70
I DROVE PASSED HIM.
00:13:48.70\00:13:49.96
I'M A DEEP THINKER
AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT
00:13:49.96\00:13:52.56
I WAS THINKING ABOUT THAT DAY.
00:13:52.56\00:13:54.43
HE THEN PULLED ME OVER.
00:13:54.43\00:13:55.50
AND HE SAID, "WELL, YOU WEREN'T
GOING THAT FAST, BUT I FELT KIND
00:13:55.50\00:13:58.43
OF SILLY 'CAUSE I WAS FOLLOWING
SOMEONE AND YOU PASSED ME."
00:13:58.43\00:14:02.26
I SAID, "OH
OFFICER, PLEASE HAVE MERCY.
00:14:02.26\00:14:05.23
MY INSURANCE
RATES ARE GONNA GO UP.
00:14:05.23\00:14:06.76
MY WIFE WILL NEVER
LET ME FORGET ABOUT THIS.
00:14:06.76\00:14:08.53
CAN YOU HAVE MERCY ON ME?"
00:14:08.53\00:14:10.36
HE SAID, "I'LL TELL YOU
WHAT, I'M GONNA LET YOU GO."
00:14:10.36\00:14:14.30
NOW I DIDN'T WANT TO PULL
OVER WHEN THE LIGHTS STARTED,
00:14:14.30\00:14:16.70
THOSE BLUE AND RED LIGHTS IN MY
REARVIEW MIRROR, I DIDN'T WANT
00:14:16.70\00:14:19.36
TO PULL OVER, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
00:14:19.36\00:14:20.40
I'D BROKEN THE LAW.
00:14:20.40\00:14:22.03
THE LAW SAID 55, I WAS GOING
65 AND WHEN I BROKE THE LAW,
00:14:22.03\00:14:25.73
I WAS UNDER THE CURSE,
THE AUTHORITY OF THE LAW.
00:14:25.73\00:14:29.03
I HAD PLACES TO GO,
BUT I HAD TO PULL OVER.
00:14:29.03\00:14:31.60
BUT I SAID, "HAVE MERCY ON ME."
00:14:31.60\00:14:33.33
AND I'VE ACTUALLY
SAID THIS SEVERAL TIMES.
00:14:33.33\00:14:36.53
YOU KNOW SOMETIMES WHAT YOU
NEED TO DO IS YOU NEED TO CRY.
00:14:36.53\00:14:42.40
I TRIED IT ONE TIME AND
SHE DID NOT GIVE ME A TICKET.
00:14:42.40\00:14:47.90
SO I FIGURED IF
GIRLS CAN DO IT, YOU KNOW?
00:14:47.90\00:14:50.13
SO I SAID, "WILL YOU
PLEASE HAVE MERCY ON ME?"
00:14:50.13\00:14:51.96
HE SAID, "OKAY, WELL
LOOK, WE'LL LET YOU GO."
00:14:51.96\00:14:53.40
AND I SAID, "I KNOW I'M GUILTY.
00:14:53.40\00:14:55.90
HAVE MERCY ON ME."
00:14:55.90\00:14:57.60
I'M HONEST WITH HIM.
00:14:57.60\00:14:58.73
AND HE SAID, "WE'LL LET YOU GO."
00:14:58.73\00:15:00.46
MATTER OF FACT HE
SAID, "I'LL PAY YOUR TICKET."
00:15:00.46\00:15:02.50
NO, NO, HE DIDN'T
REALLY SAY THAT, BUT HE SAID,
00:15:02.50\00:15:04.56
"I'LL LET YOU GO."
00:15:04.56\00:15:05.26
SO NOW THAT HE SAID YOU'RE
FORGIVEN, I'M NOT UNDER THE LAW.
00:15:05.26\00:15:08.06
AS SOON AS HE SAYS, "YOU'RE
FORGIVEN AND YOU'RE FREE TO GO,"
00:15:08.06\00:15:10.40
I'M NOW UNDER WHAT?
00:15:10.40\00:15:11.86
WHEN YOU'RE UNDER GRACE,
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?
00:15:11.86\00:15:14.70
YOU UNDERSTAND THE
TRUE MEANING OF THAT.
00:15:14.70\00:15:16.06
THAT MEANS THEN AS YOU GET BACK
IN YOUR CAR, YOU REV YOUR ENGINE
00:15:16.06\00:15:18.60
AND YOU PUT IT IN SECOND GEAR
AND YOU POP YOUR CLUTCH AND YOU
00:15:18.60\00:15:22.70
PEEL AWAY DOING DONUTS
AND LEAVING A BLACK STREAK UP
00:15:22.70\00:15:25.56
THE HIGHWAY AND YOU
CAN NOW GO 85 MILES AN HOUR
00:15:25.56\00:15:27.80
'CAUSE I'M NOT UNDER THE
LAW, I'M UNDER GRACE NOW.
00:15:27.80\00:15:30.93
IS THAT WHAT THAT MEANS?
00:15:30.93\00:15:32.33
OH, NO.
00:15:32.33\00:15:33.36
YOU KNOW WHAT I DID
BECAUSE I WAS UNDER GRACE?
00:15:33.36\00:15:35.36
I TURNED ON MY TURN SIGNAL.
00:15:35.36\00:15:37.33
I LOOKED BOTH WAYS, I GOT
OUT AND KICKED ALL THE TIRES.
00:15:37.33\00:15:42.66
I PUT IT IN FIRST GEAR.
00:15:42.66\00:15:45.00
I SLOWLY LET OUT THE CLUTCH.
00:15:45.00\00:15:46.63
I WAITED UNTIL THERE WAS NO ONE
FOR A HALF MILE IN ANY DIRECTION
00:15:46.63\00:15:49.16
ON THE ROAD, AND I CREEPED OUT
AND I WENT 52 1/2 MILES AN HOUR
00:15:49.16\00:15:52.86
BECAUSE I WAS UNDER GRACE.
00:15:52.86\00:15:54.40
I WAS MORE CAREFUL THAN ANYBODY
TO OBEY BECAUSE I'M NOT UNDER
00:15:54.40\00:15:58.46
THE LAW, BUT I'M UNDER GRACE.
00:15:58.46\00:16:00.16
YOU GOT THE IDEA?
00:16:00.16\00:16:01.16
WHEN PAUL SAYS WE'RE NOT UNDER
THE LAW, HE SAYS BECAUSE OF
00:16:01.16\00:16:03.30
JESUS, WE'RE NOT UNDER THE
PENALTY OF THE LAW, THEREFORE WE
00:16:03.30\00:16:05.80
ARE MORE CAREFUL THAN
ANYBODY TO SHOW OUR LOVE AND
00:16:05.80\00:16:08.96
APPRECIATION AND DO GOD'S WILL.
00:16:08.96\00:16:10.66
OTHER PEOPLE TURN THAT AROUND
LIKE NOT UNDER LAW'S A LICENSE
00:16:10.66\00:16:13.30
TO CRUCIFY JESUS
AGAIN AND AGAIN EVERY DAY.
00:16:13.30\00:16:16.66
THAT'S A DOCTRINE
OF DEVILS, FRIENDS.
00:16:16.66\00:16:18.70
THAT'S NOT WHAT
THE BIBLE IS TEACHING.
00:16:18.70\00:16:20.66
IF WE ARE GOING TO UNDERSTAND
THESE FINAL ISSUES, WE NEED
00:16:20.66\00:16:24.40
TO UNDERSTAND THE
RELATIONSHIP ABOUT THE LAW.
00:16:24.40\00:16:26.80
QUESTION NUMBER 12, "ARE PEOPLE
SAVED BY KEEPING THE LAW?"
00:16:26.80\00:16:31.53
NO, THE BIBLE SAYS
IN EPHESIANS 2:8-9,
00:16:31.53\00:16:36.33
"FOR BY GRACE ARE
YOU SAVED THROUGH FAITH:
00:16:36.33\00:16:40.63
NOT OF YOURSELVES.
00:16:40.63\00:16:42.06
IT'S THE GIFT OF
GOD: NOT OF WORKS,
00:16:42.06\00:16:44.60
LEST ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST."
00:16:44.60\00:16:47.63
IT'S A GIFT HE GIVES US.
00:16:47.63\00:16:48.90
WE ALL HAVE BROKEN GOD'S LAW,
BUT HE WANTS TO NOW NOT ONLY
00:16:48.90\00:16:52.70
GIVE US FORGIVENESS FOR
THE PAST, GOD WANTS TO GIVE
00:16:52.70\00:16:55.26
YOU POWER TO BE
DIFFERENT IN THE PRESENT.
00:16:55.26\00:16:58.36
AMEN?
00:16:58.36\00:16:59.53
NUMBER 13, "WHAT MOTIVATES
A PERSON TO OBEY GOD'S LAW?"
00:16:59.53\00:17:04.10
'CAUSE I WANT TO GO TO HEAVEN
AND I DON'T WANT TO GO TO HELL.
00:17:04.10\00:17:07.70
NOW THAT MIGHT BE A STARTING
POINT, BUT WHAT'S THE BEST
00:17:07.70\00:17:10.66
REASON TO OBEY GOD?
00:17:10.66\00:17:12.60
LOVE FOR THE LORD
HAS TO BE THE REASON.
00:17:12.60\00:17:15.23
IT SAYS IN ROMANS
3:10, "THEREFORE LOVE IS
00:17:15.23\00:17:18.66
THE FULFILLING OF THE LAW."
00:17:18.66\00:17:20.63
MATTHEW 22:37-39, "THOU SHALT
LOVE THE LORD THY GOD WITH ALL
00:17:20.63\00:17:26.10
THY HEART, WITH ALL THY
SOUL, WITH ALL THY MIND.
00:17:26.10\00:17:29.90
THIS IS THE FIRST AND GREAT
COMMANDMENT, AND THE SECOND
00:17:29.90\00:17:32.30
IS LIKE IT, THOU SHALL
LOVE THY NEIGHBOR AS THYSELF."
00:17:32.30\00:17:36.03
AND THEN YOU CAN
READ IN 1 JOHN 5:3,
00:17:36.03\00:17:39.06
"THIS IS THE LOVE OF GOD
THAT WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS."
00:17:39.06\00:17:43.50
YOU KNOW WHEN WE REALLY LOVE
THE LORD, WE WANT TO OBEY HIM.
00:17:43.50\00:17:48.30
NUMBER 14, "CAN I BE A TRUE
CHRISTIAN WITHOUT KEEPING HIS
00:17:48.30\00:17:53.43
COMMANDMENTS?"
00:17:53.43\00:17:54.86
WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY?
00:17:54.86\00:17:56.46
1 JOHN 2:3-4, "HEREBY WE
DO KNOW THAT WE KNOW HIM,
00:17:56.46\00:18:01.26
IF WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS.
00:18:01.26\00:18:04.40
HE THAT SAITH, I KNOW HIM, AND
KEEPETH NOT HIS COMMANDMENTS,
00:18:04.40\00:18:07.60
IS A LIAR, AND THE
TRUTH IS NOT IN HIM."
00:18:07.60\00:18:12.13
NOW SOME PEOPLE SAY, "OH DOUG,
YOU'RE MAKING TOO MUCH EMPHASIS
00:18:12.13\00:18:14.26
ON THE LETTER OF THE LAW.
00:18:14.26\00:18:16.00
THE IMPORTANT THING
IS THE SPIRIT OF THE LAW.
00:18:16.00\00:18:18.46
YOU KNOW WE GOT THESE PEOPLE
THINK THE SPIRIT IS LICENSE
00:18:18.46\00:18:19.96
FOR DISOBEDIENCE.
00:18:19.96\00:18:21.93
WHEN JESUS SAID, "IF A MAN LOOKS
ON A WOMAN TO LUST AFTER HER
00:18:21.93\00:18:25.53
IN HIS HEART, HE'S COMMITTED
ADULTERY," HE WAS EXPLAINING
00:18:25.53\00:18:28.83
THE SPIRIT OF THE
SEVENTH COMMANDMENT.
00:18:28.83\00:18:31.50
THE LAW SAYS, "THOU
SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY."
00:18:31.50\00:18:34.20
JESUS SAID, "IT'S NOT JUST
AN ACTION, IT'S AN ATTITUDE,"
00:18:34.20\00:18:36.73
RIGHT?
00:18:36.73\00:18:37.53
THE LAW SAYS,
"THOU SHALT NOT KILL."
00:18:37.53\00:18:40.53
THAT'S THE LETTER OF THE LAW.
00:18:40.53\00:18:42.03
THE SPIRIT OF THE LAW SAYS IF
YOU'RE ANGRY WITH YOUR BROTHER
00:18:42.03\00:18:44.30
WITHOUT CAUSE, JESUS
SAID YOU'RE GUILTY OF MURDER.
00:18:44.30\00:18:46.80
THE LETTER OF THE LAW
SAYS, "THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE
00:18:46.80\00:18:49.43
WITNESS."
00:18:49.43\00:18:50.76
JESUS SAID, "LET ALL YOUR
COMMUNICATIONS BE YEA, YEA,
00:18:50.76\00:18:53.80
OR NAY, NAY."
00:18:53.80\00:18:54.60
YOU DON'T NEED TO BE SWEARING.
00:18:54.60\00:18:56.43
NOW IF A PERSON SAYS, "WE DON'T
NEED TO KEEP THE LETTER ANYMORE,
00:18:56.43\00:18:58.93
WE KEEP THE
SPIRIT," THAT'S ABSURD.
00:18:58.93\00:19:02.20
THE LETTER IS
THE STARTING POINT.
00:19:02.20\00:19:04.56
YOU BUILD ON
THAT WITH THE SPIRIT.
00:19:04.56\00:19:06.56
PERSON SAYS, "NO, I
DON'T KEEP THE LETTER ANYMORE.
00:19:06.56\00:19:09.86
I DON'T THINK ABOUT
ADULTERY, BUT I RAPE PEOPLE."
00:19:09.86\00:19:13.90
OBVIOUSLY, IF YOU'RE KEEPING
THE SPIRIT, YOU'RE NOT GONNA
00:19:13.90\00:19:15.93
BREAK THE LETTER, RIGHT?
00:19:15.93\00:19:17.66
"OH NO, I WOULD--
I LOVE MY BROTHER.
00:19:17.66\00:19:21.10
I DON'T THINK ANGRY THOUGHTS.
00:19:21.10\00:19:22.43
I DO COMMIT MURDER, BUT
I'M NOT ANGRY WHEN I DO IT."
00:19:22.43\00:19:26.30
IF YOU'RE BREAKING THE SPIRIT OF
THE LAW, YOU'RE ALWAYS BREAKING
00:19:26.30\00:19:28.73
THE LETTER.
00:19:28.73\00:19:29.86
AND SO THIS IDEA THAT WE KEEP
THE SPIRIT, IF YOU'RE REALLY
00:19:29.86\00:19:32.80
KEEPING THE SPIRIT, IT ALWAYS
INCLUDES THE LETTER OF THE LAW.
00:19:32.80\00:19:36.53
THAT'S AN
IMPORTANT ISSUE MANY FORGET.
00:19:36.53\00:19:39.60
NUMBER 15, "ARE SOME
OLD TESTAMENT LAWS NO LONGER
00:19:39.60\00:19:44.20
BINDING UPON CHRISTIANS?"
00:19:44.20\00:19:46.00
YES.
00:19:46.00\00:19:47.43
EPHESIANS 2:15,
"HAVING ABOLISHED
00:19:47.43\00:19:49.86
THE LAW OF COMMANDMENTS
CONTAINED IN ORDINANCES."
00:19:49.86\00:19:54.13
NOW YOU REALIZE THAT BACK
IN THE VERY BEGINNING, GOD HAD
00:19:54.13\00:19:57.53
THE TEN COMMANDMENT LAW.
00:19:57.53\00:19:59.10
YOU REMEMBER
WHEN CAIN KILLED ABEL?
00:19:59.10\00:20:02.50
GOD SAID TO CAIN
"SIN LIETH AT YOUR DOOR.
00:20:02.50\00:20:04.96
SIN IS THE
TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW."
00:20:04.96\00:20:06.36
IT WAS A SIN TO MURDER
BACK THEN IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN.
00:20:06.36\00:20:08.83
WHEN JOSEPH WAS TEMPTED BY
POTIPHAR'S WIFE, JOSEPH SAID,
00:20:08.83\00:20:11.76
"HOW CAN I COMMIT
THIS SIN AGAINST GOD?"
00:20:11.76\00:20:14.53
ADULTERY WAS A SIN AND THAT WAS
LONG BEFORE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
00:20:14.53\00:20:17.46
WERE WRITTEN OR SPOKEN BY GOD.
00:20:17.46\00:20:19.23
SO THE TEN COMMANDMENTS GO
ALL THE WAY BACK, BUT CERTAIN
00:20:19.23\00:20:21.76
CEREMONIAL LAWS WERE GIVEN
TO MOSES THAT REVOLVED AROUND
00:20:21.76\00:20:25.96
THE SANCTUARY AND THE SERVICES,
AND THERE WERE SOME CEREMONIAL
00:20:25.96\00:20:28.66
SABBATH DAYS AND HOLIDAYS.
00:20:28.66\00:20:29.96
THESE THINGS ALL POINTED TO
JESUS TO HELP US RECOGNIZE HIM.
00:20:29.96\00:20:34.03
THOSE THINGS WERE WRITTEN
ON PAPER AND WERE NAILED TO
00:20:34.03\00:20:36.96
THE CROSS.
00:20:36.96\00:20:37.93
YOU CAN'T NAIL
STONE TO ANYTHING.
00:20:37.93\00:20:40.66
AND IT SAYS THE HANDWRITING OF
THESE THINGS WERE NAILED TO THE
00:20:40.66\00:20:43.40
CROSS, BUT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
WERE NOT NAILED TO THE CROSS.
00:20:43.40\00:20:45.86
THAT WAS PART OF THE CEREMONIAL
LAW BUT THE--CONTAINED IN YEARLY
00:20:45.86\00:20:51.30
SABBATHS, BUT THE MORAL LAW AND
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS IS ETERNAL.
00:20:51.30\00:20:55.16
NUMBER 16, "WHOM
DOES THE DEVIL ESPECIALLY
00:20:55.16\00:20:59.20
HATE IN THE LAST DAYS?"
00:20:59.20\00:21:01.50
ANSWER, "THE DRAGON WAS
WROTH WITH THE WOMAN--" NOW WHO
00:21:01.50\00:21:06.60
DOES THE DRAGON REPRESENT?
00:21:06.60\00:21:08.30
HE'S ANGRY WITH THE WOMAN
AND HE GOES TO MAKE WAR WITH
00:21:08.30\00:21:11.60
THE REMNANT OF HER SEED THAT
KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD
00:21:11.60\00:21:15.96
AND THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS.
00:21:15.96\00:21:17.56
THE DEVIL IN THE LAST DAYS,
PROPHECY TELLS US, IS ESPECIALLY
00:21:17.56\00:21:20.80
ANGRY WITH THE PEOPLE
WHO KEEP GOD'S COMMANDMENTS.
00:21:20.80\00:21:24.10
CAN YOU SEE HOW
THIS TIES INTO PROPHECY?
00:21:24.10\00:21:26.80
THE DEVIL HAS AN ALL OUT
WAR AGAINST THE LAW BECAUSE IT
00:21:26.80\00:21:29.36
BRINGS PEOPLE TO JESUS.
00:21:29.36\00:21:31.03
NUMBER 17, "WHAT ARE
SOME OF THE GLORIOUS REWARDS
00:21:31.03\00:21:34.20
OF KEEPING GOD'S LAW?"
00:21:34.20\00:21:35.86
JOHN 15:11, "THESE THINGS I
HAVE SPOKEN UNTO YOU, THAT YOUR
00:21:35.86\00:21:40.90
JOY MIGHT BE FULL, AND THAT
YOUR JOY--THAT YOUR JOY MIGHT BE
00:21:40.90\00:21:46.90
FULL--" WHOA, I SAID THAT WRONG.
00:21:46.90\00:21:49.00
LET ME TRY THIS ONE MORE TIME.
00:21:49.00\00:21:50.26
"THESE THINGS I'VE SPOKEN UNTO
YOU, THAT YOUR JOY MIGHT REMAIN
00:21:50.26\00:21:53.53
IN YOU, AND THAT
YOUR JOY MIGHT BE FULL."
00:21:53.53\00:21:56.70
PROVERBS 29:18, "HE THAT KEEPETH
THE LAW," MISERABLE IS HE--
00:21:56.70\00:22:03.30
"HAPPY IS HE."
00:22:03.30\00:22:04.86
PSALM 119:165, "GREAT PEACE
HAVE THEY WHICH LOVE THY LAW
00:22:04.86\00:22:11.06
AND NOTHING WILL OFFEND THEM."
00:22:11.06\00:22:13.66
YOU WILL HAVE GREAT PEACE.
00:22:13.66\00:22:15.23
NOW FRIENDS, I WANT TO GIVE
YOU SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.
00:22:15.23\00:22:19.00
PALESTINE OR JERUSALEM IS
IN WHAT WE CALL THE HOLY LAND.
00:22:19.00\00:22:23.56
YOU KNOW WHY IT'S
CALLED THE HOLY LAND?
00:22:23.56\00:22:25.13
YOU GO ALL AROUND THE WORLD
AND PEOPLE FROM PROTESTANTS,
00:22:25.13\00:22:28.83
CATHOLICS, JEWS, MUSLIMS,
THEY CALL THAT THE HOLY LAND.
00:22:28.83\00:22:31.63
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HOLY LAND
MANY YEARS AGO WAS THE TEMPLE.
00:22:31.63\00:22:37.30
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
TEMPLE WAS THE HOLY OF HOLIES.
00:22:37.30\00:22:41.60
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HOLY
OF HOLIES IN THE HOLY LAND ON
00:22:41.60\00:22:45.06
THE HOLY MOUNTAIN WAS THE ARK
OF THE COVENANT, A GOLDEN BOX.
00:22:45.06\00:22:49.70
WHAT WAS INSIDE THAT BOX?
00:22:49.70\00:22:52.20
GOD WROTE HIS WILL FOR
THE HUMAN RACE IN STONE.
00:22:52.20\00:22:56.00
ISN'T IT INTERESTING?
00:22:56.00\00:22:56.73
EVERYONE WANTS TO FIND THE
LOST GOLDEN ARK OF THE COVENANT?
00:22:56.73\00:22:58.96
THEY'RE MORE
INTERESTED IN THE GOLDEN BOX.
00:22:58.96\00:23:01.30
WHAT GOD WAS REALLY INTERESTED
IN IS THE ROCKS IN THE BOX
00:23:01.30\00:23:05.16
WRITTEN WITH THE FINGER OF GOD.
00:23:05.16\00:23:06.70
THAT'S THE THING THAT MATTERS.
00:23:06.70\00:23:08.33
GOD DOESN'T WANT US JUST
TO BE HEARERS OF THE WORD.
00:23:08.33\00:23:11.36
HE WANTS US TO BE DOERS OF
THE WORD BECAUSE JESUS DIED
00:23:11.36\00:23:14.26
FOR OUR DISOBEDIENCE.
00:23:14.26\00:23:18.90
YOU KNOW, FRIENDS, MANY PEOPLE
MISUNDERSTAND HOW IT GRIEVES THE
00:23:18.90\00:23:24.10
LORD AND HOW MUCH IT COSTS THE
FATHER FOR US TO BE FORGIVEN.
00:23:24.10\00:23:27.83
I SOMETIMES WISH WE COULD
BE TRANSPORTED BACK IN TIME
00:23:27.83\00:23:30.73
AND SEE WHAT JESUS ENDURED
THAT WE MIGHT BE FORGIVEN.
00:23:30.73\00:23:34.86
DURING THE DAYS OF
OLIVER CROMWELL, A YOUNG MAN
00:23:34.86\00:23:38.70
WHO WAS A SOLDIER FELL
ASLEEP GUARDING HIS POST.
00:23:38.70\00:23:42.00
THE PENALTY FOR THAT WAS
DEATH, AND HE WAS TO BE EXECUTED
00:23:42.00\00:23:45.50
AT CURFEW WITH THE
RINGING OF THE CHURCH BELL.
00:23:45.50\00:23:49.26
WELL, WHEN THE TIME CAME
FOR THE SOLDIER TO BE EXECUTED,
00:23:49.26\00:23:52.00
HIS FIANCEE, THAT
LOVED HIM DESPERATELY,
00:23:52.00\00:23:54.93
CLIMBED THE BELL TOWER.
00:23:54.93\00:23:56.86
SHE GOT INSIDE THE BELL AND HELD
ON WITH HER WHOLE BODY TO THIS
00:23:56.86\00:24:00.86
MAMMOTH CLAPPER INSIDE THE BELL.
00:24:00.86\00:24:03.76
AND CROMWELL GAVE THE ORDER THAT
THEY SHOULD RING THE BELL AND
00:24:03.76\00:24:07.46
THEY TRIED TO RING IT AND RING
IT AND THEY COULDN'T EVEN GET
00:24:07.46\00:24:09.56
A MUFFLED THUD OUT OF THE BELL.
00:24:09.56\00:24:11.96
ON INVESTIGATION PRETTY
SOON THEY FOUND THIS LADY WAS UP
00:24:11.96\00:24:14.66
THERE ALL CUT AND BROKEN AND
BRUISED AND BLEEDING, AND THEY
00:24:14.66\00:24:18.10
ASKED HER WHAT WAS GOING ON.
00:24:18.10\00:24:19.53
SHE SAID, "I'M HIS
FIANCEE, I LOVE HIM.
00:24:19.53\00:24:22.40
PLEASE DON'T RING THE BELL."
00:24:22.40\00:24:24.76
CROMWELL SAID,
"CURFEW WILL NOT RING TONIGHT"
00:24:24.76\00:24:27.90
AND THE MAN WAS FORGIVEN.
00:24:27.90\00:24:29.50
YOU KNOW WE ARE UNDER A DEATH
PENALTY, AND WE HAVE NO CONCEPT
00:24:29.50\00:24:32.76
HOW MUCH JESUS HAS SUFFERED
THAT WE MIGHT BE FORGIVEN.
00:24:32.76\00:24:36.56
HAVE YOU
ACCEPTED THAT FORGIVENESS?
00:24:36.56\00:24:38.96
WHEN YOU INVITE HIM INTO
YOUR HEART, THEN YOU WANT TO DO
00:24:38.96\00:24:41.26
HIS WILL.
00:24:41.26\00:24:41.90
DON'T WORRY ABOUT HOW
YOU MIGHT OBEY HIM TOMORROW.
00:24:41.90\00:24:43.80
YOU CAN'T EVEN COMPREHEND THAT.
00:24:43.80\00:24:45.36
YOU COME TO HIM JUST
AS YOU ARE TODAY, FRIENDS,
00:24:45.36\00:24:47.50
AND HE WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
