>>'THE SABBATH,' JESUS
SAID, 'WAS MADE FOR HUMANITY.'
00:01:09.43\00:01:14.94
HE DOESN'T SAY THE
SABBATH WAS MADE FOR JEWS.
00:01:14.97\00:01:16.74
HE DOESN'T SAY IT
WAS MADE FOR MOSES.
00:01:16.77\00:01:18.57
DOESN'T EVERYBODY NEED TIME OFF?

>>NOW TONIGHT WE HAVE A VERY
IMPORTANT LESSON THAT IS DEALING
00:01:44.23\00:01:47.74
WITH A SUBJECT THAT IS OF GREAT
INTEREST AMONG CHRISTIANS THESE
00:01:47.77\00:01:50.94
DAYS AND IT DOES HAVE A VERY
IMPORTANT BEARING ON THE ISSUES
00:01:50.97\00:01:55.78
OF PROPHECY. THE
TITLE OF THE LESSON IS
00:01:55.81\00:01:58.58
CALLED THE REST OF OUR
WORK - THE REST OF OUR WORK .
00:01:58.61\00:02:03.59
NOW WE'RE GOING TO BEGIN WITH A
STORY IN YOUR BIBLE THAT'S DRAWN
00:02:03.62\00:02:06.69
FROM THE BOOK OF EXODUS.
00:02:06.72\00:02:08.82
IN EXODUS WE KNOW THAT THE
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, FOR A LONG
00:02:08.86\00:02:12.99
TIME - HUNDREDS OF YEARS - WERE
SLAVES THERE AND IT TELLS US
00:02:13.03\00:02:18.77
ABOUT THE TERRIBLE HARDSHIP
- THEY WEREN'T JUST SLAVES, IT
00:02:18.80\00:02:22.10
SAYS THEY WERE SUFFERING - THEY
WERE SERVING WITH CRUEL BONDAGE
00:02:22.14\00:02:25.67
AND HARD LABOR.
THEIR LIVES WERE MISERABLE.
00:02:25.71\00:02:28.68
ALL IT WAS WAS WORK, WORK, WORK
AND THEY WERE WORKING SO MUCH
00:02:28.71\00:02:33.52
THAT THEY WERE NEGLECTING THE
DAY OF REST THAT GOD HAD GIVEN
00:02:33.55\00:02:36.65
MAN ALL THE WAY BACK FROM THE
GARDEN OF EDEN. AND DURING THAT
00:02:36.69\00:02:39.85
TIME, OF COURSE, MOSES HAD BEEN
BORN, HE WAS IN THE WILDERNESS,
00:02:39.89\00:02:42.76
HE HAD FLED FROM EGYPT, AND 40
YEARS IN THE WILDERNESS TAKING
00:02:42.79\00:02:45.73
CARE OF HIS FATHER-IN-LAW'S
SHEEP, ENJOYING A QUIET LIFE,
00:02:45.76\00:02:49.20
AND THE LORD APPEARED
TO HIM AT THE BURNING BUSH.
00:02:49.23\00:02:52.53
AND THERE AT THE BURNING BUSH
GOD SAID, 'I WANT YOU TO GO AND
00:02:52.57\00:02:56.50
YOU ARE GOING TO BE THE VEHICLE
THROUGH WHICH I AM GOING TO
00:02:56.54\00:03:00.24
LIBERATE MY PEOPLE AND BRING
THEM BACK INTO THEROMISED LAND
00:03:00.28\00:03:03.38
THAT THEY MIGHT ENJOY
THE REST I HAVE FOR THEM.
00:03:03.41\00:03:07.28
NOTICE THAT THERE'S A TOTAL
OPPOSITE BETWEEN THE HARD WORK
00:03:07.32\00:03:13.25
OF THE SLAVERY IN EGYPT AND THE
REST THE NEW TESTAMENT CALLS THE
00:03:13.29\00:03:19.56
PROMISED LAND. MOSES,
WHO'S LIKE CHRIST, THAT
00:03:19.59\00:03:23.50
LEADS US OUT OF SLAVERY INTO
THE PROMISED LAND, HE WAS TOLD
00:03:23.53\00:03:27.87
'FIRST, BEFORE YOU GO TO
PHARAOH, YOU NEED TO GO MEET
00:03:27.90\00:03:30.57
WITH THE ELDERS OF ISRAEL.' YOU
CAN READ ABOUT THIS IN EXODUS 4,
00:03:30.61\00:03:33.71
VERSE 29. 'AND
MOSES AND AARON WENT AND
00:03:33.74\00:03:36.88
GATHERED TOGETHER ALL THE ELDERS
OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL.
00:03:36.91\00:03:40.12
AND, DURING THAT TIME, PHARAOH
HAD ALREADY HEARD THAT MOSES AND
00:03:40.15\00:03:44.35
AARON WERE STIRRING UP PROBLEMS
- THAT THEY HAD MET WITH THE
00:03:44.39\00:03:48.86
ELDERS OF ISRAEL AND THE PHARAOH
RESPONDS - NOTICE - HE SAID TO
00:03:48.89\00:03:52.79
THEM, IN EXODUS 5:5, "BEHOLD,
THE PEOPLE OF THE LAND ARE NOW
00:03:52.83\00:03:56.73
MANY AND YOU MAKE THEM
REST FROM THEIR BURDENS."
00:03:56.77\00:04:01.10
WHAT DO YOU THINK
HE'S TALKING ABOUT?
00:04:01.14\00:04:02.64
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT
WORD 'REST' IS THERE?
00:04:02.67\00:04:04.81
'SHABAT' - PHARAOH SAID, 'EVER
SINCE YOU CAME AROUND YOU'RE
00:04:04.84\00:04:08.78
CAUSING THEM TO TAKE A DAY OFF.'
AND JUST TO MAKE THINGS MORE
00:04:08.81\00:04:13.85
DIFFICULT THE PHARAOH SAID,
'I'LL FIX THAT.' EXODUS 5, VERSE
00:04:13.88\00:04:18.92
10, "THUS SAID THE PHARAOH,
'I WILL NOT GIVE YOU STRAW.
00:04:18.95\00:04:21.92
GO GET YOU STRAW WHERE YOU
CAN FIND IT." - AND IT GOES ON,
00:04:21.96\00:04:26.70
VERSE 18, "THEREFORE NOW AND
WORK FOR THERE SHALL NO STRAW BE
00:04:26.73\00:04:31.17
GIVEN YOU. I WILL
INCREASE YOUR BURDEN."
00:04:31.20\00:04:34.94
THE PEOPLE WERE THINKING
ABOUT FREEDOM - NOW IF MOSES
00:04:34.97\00:04:38.01
REPRESENTS JESUS, WHO
DOES THE PHARAOH REPRESENT?
00:04:38.04\00:04:40.21
>>THE DEVIL. >>THE DEVIL, RIGHT?
00:04:40.24\00:04:43.21
MOSES WANTS TO LEAD THEM
INTO THE PROMISED LAND OF REST.
00:04:43.24\00:04:45.98
THE PHARAOH SAID, 'WORK, WORK,
WORK UNTIL YOUR LIVES ARE OVER.'
00:04:46.01\00:04:48.52
AND WHEN THEY STARTED THINKING
ABOUT WORSHIPING GOD, THE
00:04:48.55\00:04:53.86
PHARAOH TRIED TO ECLIPSE AND
DISPLACE THAT IDEA FROM THEIR
00:04:53.89\00:04:58.23
MIND BY INCREASING
WHAT? THEIR WORK LOAD.
00:04:58.26\00:05:02.23
WELL, EVERY TIME PHARAOH TRIED
TO STOP, GOD SENT A PLAGUE AND
00:05:02.26\00:05:06.30
EVENTUALLY TEN PLAGUES FELL
ON EGYPT. THE FINAL PLAGUE WAS
00:05:06.33\00:05:11.27
THE PASSOVER, THE
DEATH OF THE FIRST BORN.
00:05:11.31\00:05:14.28
AND BEFORE THEY BEGAN THEIR
JOURNEY TO THE PROMISED LAND,
00:05:14.31\00:05:19.38
WHAT DID THEY HAVE TO DO?
SACRIFICE A LAMB. WHAT IS THE
00:05:19.41\00:05:23.55
FIRST STEP IN OUR JOURNEY
TO THE PROMISED LAND? A LAMB.
00:05:23.59\00:05:28.22
YOU NOTICE, GOD DID NOT COME TO
THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL AND SAY,
00:05:28.26\00:05:31.16
'HERE'S THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.'
FIRST HE CAME AND HE SAID, 'WE
00:05:31.19\00:05:33.70
NEED TO GET A LAMB.' THE
JOURNEY BEGINS WITH A LAMB.
00:05:33.73\00:05:36.46
AFTER THE LAMB, THEN THEY WENT
TO MOUNT SINAI AND HE SAID, 'IF
00:05:36.50\00:05:40.04
YOU LOVE ME, HERE'S MY LAW.'
BUT THE LAMB AND THE BLOOD OF
00:05:40.07\00:05:42.67
THE LAMB AND
SALVATION COMES FIRST.
00:05:42.70\00:05:44.94
DON'T EVER FORGET THIS, FRIENDS:
YOU DO NOT KEEP THE LAW TO BE
00:05:44.97\00:05:48.21
SAVED, YOU KEEP THE
LAW BECAUSE YOU ARE SAVED.
00:05:48.24\00:05:52.01
>>AMEN. >>AND SO,
FIRST THE LAMB CAME.
00:05:52.05\00:05:54.45
NOW, GOD IS LOVE, ARE WE RIGHT?
CAN YOU HAVE LOVE WITHOUT TIME?
00:05:54.48\00:06:02.42
WHAT HAPPENS TO A RELATIONSHIP
IF PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE QUALITY
00:06:02.46\00:06:07.93
TIME TOGETHER? YOU
EVER HAVE ANY FRIENDS, YOU
00:06:07.96\00:06:12.47
START DRIFTING APART OVER THE
YEARS AND YOU SAY, 'OH, WE DON'T
00:06:12.50\00:06:16.14
HAVE MUCH IN COMMON. WE
JUST DIDN'T SPEND ANY TIME
00:06:16.17\00:06:18.14
TOGETHER'? IT
HAPPENS IN MARRIAGES.
00:06:18.17\00:06:20.71
IT HAPPENS IN FAMILIES.
IT HAPPENS WITH FRIENDS.
00:06:20.74\00:06:22.91
IN ORDER FOR THERE TO BE LOVE
RELATIONSHIPS, THERE MUST BE
00:06:22.94\00:06:26.38
QUALITY TIME TOGETHER. NOT
ONLY IS THAT TRUE WITH EACH
00:06:26.41\00:06:29.78
OTHER ON THE HORIZONTAL, IT IS
DEFINITELY TRUE ON THE VERTICAL.
00:06:29.82\00:06:35.09
IF YOU WANT A RELATIONSHIP WITH
GOD YOU MUST LEARN TO WALK WITH
00:06:35.12\00:06:38.03
GOD. NOT ONLY, YOU KNOW, PRAYING
00:06:38.06\00:06:42.06
EVERY NOW AND THEN, WE
NEED QUALITY TIME WITH GOD.
00:06:42.10\00:06:44.87
IS THERE A DIFFERENT BETWEEN
JUST BEING IN THE SAME ROOM AND
00:06:44.90\00:06:49.07
HAVING QUALITY TIME? DID
GOD MAKE A DIFFERENT DAY FOR
00:06:49.10\00:06:54.01
QUALITY TIME WITH
HIM? IT'S ALL ABOUT LOVE.
00:06:54.04\00:06:58.15
GOD MADE ANOTHER WHOLE
DAY OF THE WEEK TO NURTURE OUR
00:06:58.18\00:07:02.65
RELATIONSHIPS WITH HIM.
NOW, IF YOU WERE THE DEVIL AND
00:07:02.68\00:07:05.85
YOU WANTED TO DESTROY THE
LOVE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GOD'S
00:07:05.89\00:07:08.09
PEOPLE AND THE LORD,
WOULDN'T YOU ATTACK THE TIME?
00:07:08.12\00:07:11.06
GET THEM SO BUSY WORKING
THEY DON'T HAVE TIME FOR GOD.
00:07:11.09\00:07:14.96
WELL, THAT'S MY INTRODUCTION AND
NOW WE'RE GOING TO GO INTO THE
00:07:15.00\00:07:18.07
LESSON. ALRIGHT,
LET'S GO TO QUESTION #1
00:07:18.10\00:07:19.87
IN YOUR STUDY. DID
GOD MAKE THE SABBATH REST
00:07:19.90\00:07:22.67
ONLY FOR ISRAELITES OR FOR JEWS?
HAVE YOU HEARD THAT BEFORE?
00:07:22.70\00:07:27.51
'OH, HE MADE THE SABBATH FOR
JEWS.' LET'S FIND OUT FROM THE
00:07:27.54\00:07:30.11
BIBLE. WHEN
DOES IT FIRST APPEAR?
00:07:30.15\00:07:31.98
MARK CHAPTER 2, VERSE 27 - MARK
2, VERSE 27 AND IT SAYS, "HE
00:07:32.01\00:07:36.52
SAID UNTO THEM, 'THE SABBATH WAS
MADE FOR MAN AND NOT MAN FOR THE
00:07:36.55\00:07:43.56
SABBATH.' NOW WHO'S
SPEAKING HERE? JESUS.
00:07:43.59\00:07:45.73
THE WORD JESUS USES HERE -
M-A-N - THAT'S NOT HOW YOU SPELL
00:07:45.76\00:07:51.67
'JEW.' THAT WORD IS 'MANKIND'
- IT'S TALKING ABOUT ANTHROPOS -
00:07:51.70\00:07:57.54
HUMANITY. 'THE
SABBATH,' JESUS SAID, 'WAS
00:07:57.57\00:08:01.08
MADE FOR HUMANITY.' HE DOESN'T
SAY THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR
00:08:01.11\00:08:04.18
JEWS. HE DOESN'T SAY
IT WAS MADE FOR MOSES.
00:08:04.21\00:08:06.21
DOESN'T EVERYBODY NEED TIME OFF?
DOESN'T EVERYBODY WHO WORSHIPS
00:08:06.25\00:08:10.82
GOD NEED QUALITY
TIME WITH GOD? OF COURSE.
00:08:10.85\00:08:14.29
AND FURTHER EVIDENCE OF
THIS IS FOUND IN ISAIAH 56.
00:08:14.32\00:08:17.23
I GAVE YOU ONE FROM THE NEW
TESTAMENT, HERE'S ONE FROM THE
00:08:17.26\00:08:19.79
OLD. ISAIAH 56,
VERSE 6, "ALSO THE
00:08:19.83\00:08:22.30
SONS OF THE STRANGER THAT JOIN
THEMSELVES TO THE LORD TO SERVE
00:08:22.33\00:08:25.87
HIM, TO LOVE THE NAME OF
THE LORD." - NOTICE, IT'S LOVE -
00:08:25.90\00:08:29.54
"TO BE HIS SERVANTS. EVERYONE
THAT KEEPS THE SABBATH FROM
00:08:29.57\00:08:33.48
POLLUTING IT AND TAKES HOLD
OF MY COVENANT." THE SONS OF THE
00:08:33.51\00:08:37.21
STRANGER - NON-JEWS - HE SAYS,
"EVEN THEM I WILL BRING TO MY
00:08:37.25\00:08:41.08
HOLY MOUNTAIN AND MAKE THEM
JOYFUL IN MY HOUSE OF PRAYER.
00:08:41.12\00:08:45.65
NOW, VERY IMPORTANT POINT BEFORE
I GO ANY FARTHER, I WANT YOU TO
00:08:45.69\00:08:49.89
CATCH: PEOPLE LIVING IN OUR AGE,
ARE WE SAVED BASED ON THE TERMS
00:08:49.92\00:08:54.23
OF THE OLD COVENANT
OR THE NEW COVENANT?
00:08:54.30\00:08:57.53
>>NEW COVENANT. >>HOW
MANY BELIEVE NEW COVENANT?
00:08:57.57\00:09:00.40
I BELIEVE NEW
COVENANT. YONE HERE BELIEVE OLD
00:09:00.44\00:09:03.47
COVENANT? I BELIEVE
IT'S THE NEW COVENANT.
00:09:03.51\00:09:06.07
LET ME RECITE THE NEW COVENANT
TO YOU: "'I WILL MAKE A NEW
00:09:06.11\00:09:09.94
COVENANT WITH THE HOUSE
OF ISRAEL AFTER THOSE DAYS,'
00:09:09.98\00:09:14.75
SAYETH THE LORD. 'I'LL WRITE
MY LAW ON THEIR HEARTS.'" -
00:09:14.78\00:09:17.82
SO FORTH. 'I WILL MAKE A
NEW COVENANT WITH' - WHO?
00:09:17.85\00:09:19.79
DO YOU KNOW, NOWHERE IN THE
BIBLE, NEW OR OLD TESTAMENT - I
00:09:19.82\00:09:23.93
SHOULD MENTION YOU FIND THE
NEW COVENANT FIRST IN THE OLD
00:09:23.96\00:09:27.20
TESTAMENT, JEREMIAH 31:31, THEN
IT'S REPEATED SEVERAL TIMES IN
00:09:27.23\00:09:31.23
THE NEW TESTAMENT.
NOWHERE DOES GOD MAKE THE NEW
00:09:31.27\00:09:33.87
COVENANT WITH GENTILES.
LIKE THIS VERSE, THE GENTILES
00:09:33.90\00:09:37.31
WERE GRAFTED INTO
THE STOCK OF ISRAEL.
00:09:37.34\00:09:41.51
THEY THEN BECOME - THE BIBLE
SAYS IF YOU'RE CHRIST'S, YOU'RE
00:09:41.54\00:09:43.95
ABRAHAM'S SEED AND YOU'RE
HEIRS ACCORDING TO THE PROMISE.
00:09:43.98\00:09:46.25
AND SO EVERYBODY - THE
SABBATH WAS FOR EVERYBODY.
00:09:46.28\00:09:49.75
#2 - WHEN DID GOD
ESTABLISH THE SABBATH?
00:09:49.78\00:09:54.32
WAS IT MOUNT SINAI?
WAS IT THE BOOK OF EXODUS?
00:09:54.36\00:09:56.83
OR WAS IT GENESIS? >>GENESIS.
00:09:56.86\00:10:00.76
>>IF YOU READ IN GENESIS CHAPTER
2, VERSES 1 AND 3, IT SAYS,
00:10:00.80\00:10:04.07
"THUS THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH
WERE FINISHED AND ALL THE HOST
00:10:04.10\00:10:08.10
OF THEM AND GOD BLESSED THE
SEVENTH DAY AND SANCTIFIED IT
00:10:08.14\00:10:12.64
BECAUSE THAT IN IT HE HAD RESTED
FROM ALL HIS WORK WHICH GOD
00:10:12.67\00:10:16.54
CREATED AND MADE." HE
MADE THIS DAY AND HE DID
00:10:16.58\00:10:20.02
SOMETHING UNIQUE WITH IT BECAUSE
HE WANTED TO PRESERVE A LOVE
00:10:20.05\00:10:23.18
RELATIONSHIP WITH US.
00:10:23.22\00:10:25.15
QUESTION #3 - SOME VERY
PRACTICAL THINGS - WHAT DAY OF
00:10:25.19\00:10:30.53
THE WEEK IS THE
SABBATH - THE BIBLICAL SABBATH?
00:10:30.56\00:10:34.50
HERE'S WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS IN
GENESIS 2, VERSES 2 AND 3, "AND
00:10:34.56\00:10:38.50
ON THE SEVENTH DAY GOD ENDED HIS
WORK WHICH HE HAD MADE AND HE
00:10:38.53\00:10:44.01
RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY FROM
ALL HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD MADE
00:10:44.04\00:10:48.51
AND GOD BLESSED
THE SEVENTH DAY."
00:10:48.54\00:10:51.21
THIS IS GENESIS 2. THIS
IS ABOUT AS FAR BACK AS YOU
00:10:51.25\00:10:54.05
CAN GO IN THE
BEGINNING OF YOUR BIBLE.
00:10:54.08\00:10:56.35
SO DOES GOD SAY THAT HE
MADE THE SABBATH FOR JEWS?
00:10:56.38\00:11:00.76
HOW MAN OPLE WERE IN
THE WORLD WHEN GOD DID THIS?
00:11:00.79\00:11:02.99
>>TWO. >>TWO.
WHAT WERE THEIR NAMES?
00:11:03.02\00:11:05.63
>>ADAM AND EVE. >>ADAM AND EVE.
00:11:05.66\00:11:07.76
YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE SAYS
THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR MAN.
00:11:07.76\00:11:10.30
WHAT ELSE DID GOD MAKE
FOR MAN IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN?
00:11:10.33\00:11:13.44
>>A WIFE. >>WOMAN.
00:11:13.47\00:11:15.77
IT SAYS, "IT'S NOT GOOD
THAT A MAN SHOULD BE ALONE.
00:11:15.80\00:11:17.97
NOW HERE'S A QUESTION:
DO WE STILL NEED WOMEN?
00:11:18.01\00:11:20.81
>>WE DO. >>DO WE ALSO
STILL NEED THAT DAY OF REST?
00:11:20.84\00:11:25.08
>>YES. >>THEY'RE
EQUALLY IMPORTANT.
00:11:25.11\00:11:28.82
ALRIGHT, NOW YOU
NOTICE SOMETHING ELSE HERE?
00:11:28.85\00:11:32.52
IT DOESN'T SAY 'AND ON A SEVENTH
DAY.' IT SAYS 'THE SEVENTH DAY.'
00:11:32.55\00:11:38.49
IS THERE A DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN SAYING 'A' AND 'THE'?
00:11:38.53\00:11:42.16
IF I WERE TO JUST CALL OUT TO
THE AUDIENCE NOW AND SAY 'COULD
00:11:42.20\00:11:45.53
YOU PLEASE BRING ME 'THE' PEN?'
YOU'D LOOK AT EACH OTHER AND
00:11:45.57\00:11:48.50
SAY, 'I WONDER WHO HAS 'THE'
PEN?' RIGHT? THE SPECIAL PEN.
00:11:48.54\00:11:52.04
BUT IF I SAY 'BRING ME A PEN.'
HALF OF YOU MIGHT JUMP OUT OF
00:11:52.07\00:11:57.35
YOUR SEATS AND GIVE ME A PEN
BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT
00:11:57.38\00:11:59.55
PEN - IT'S ANY PEN. SO
GOD DOESN'T SAY 'REMEMBER A
00:11:59.58\00:12:01.85
SEVENTH DAY' HE SAYS
'REMEMBER 'THE' SEVENTH DAY.'
00:12:01.88\00:12:04.69
IT'S A DEFINITE
ARTICLE. IT'S VERY SPECIFIC.
00:12:04.72\00:12:06.42
HOW HAS GOD DEMONSTRATED THE
IMPORTANCE OF HIS HOLY SABBATH?
00:12:06.45\00:12:10.03
EXODUS CHAPTER 20, VERSE
8 - MADE IT ONE OF THE TEN
00:12:10.06\00:12:14.60
COMMANDMENTS. IT SAYS,
"REMEMBER" - WHY DO YOU
00:12:14.63\00:12:18.40
THINK GOD BEGINS THAT
COMMANDMENT WITH THE WORD
00:12:18.43\00:12:20.24
'REMEMBER'? HE
KNEW WE MIGHT FORGET.
00:12:20.27\00:12:21.97
"REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY TO
KEEP IT HOLY...THE LORD BLESSED
00:12:22.00\00:12:26.91
THE SABBATH DAY AND HALLOWED
IT." THE BIBLE TELLS US.
00:12:26.94\00:12:30.65
NOW YOU NOTICE THAT GOD DIDN'T
SAY, 'I WANT YOU TO MAKE IT
00:12:30.68\00:12:35.78
HOLY' OR 'PICK A DAY AND MAKE IT
HOLY.' GOD SAYS, 'I HAVE PICKED
00:12:35.82\00:12:38.59
THE DAY AND I MADE IT HOLY AND I
SANCTIFIED IT, AND I BLESSED IT.
00:12:38.62\00:12:42.32
I WANT YOU TO ENJOY THOSE
BLESSINGS THAT I PUT INTO THAT
00:12:42.36\00:12:45.73
DAY. DOES HE SAY 'EVERYBODY
JUST KIND OF PICK YOUR DAY?'
00:12:45.76\00:12:48.90
OR DOES HE SAY 'THERE IS A DAY
WHERE WE WORSHIP CORPORATELY'?
00:12:48.93\00:12:52.93
IT SAYS IN LEVITICUS 23, 'THE
SABBATH IS A HOLY CONVOCATION.'
00:12:52.97\00:12:57.64
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE
WORD 'CONVOCATION' MEANS?
00:12:57.67\00:12:59.41
A CONVENING. THEY WERE TO
COME TOGETHER AND WORSHIP GOD.
00:12:59.44\00:13:02.51
HE HAD BLESSED THE TIME
FOR THEM. SO THAT'S IMPORTANT.
00:13:02.54\00:13:05.51
GOD DID SOMETHING
SPECIAL ON THIS DAY.
00:13:05.55\00:13:08.55
IT SAYS THREE, IN
PARTICULAR, THINGS.
00:13:08.58\00:13:11.65
IT SAYS GOD RESTED THAT DAY, GOD
BLESSED THAT DAY, GOD SANCTIFIED
00:13:11.69\00:13:17.49
THE SEVENTH DAY. HE'S GOD.
00:13:17.53\00:13:20.60
YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT HE GETS
TO MAKE THE RULES. AND ANYTHING
00:13:20.63\00:13:23.87
THAT HE TELLS US TO DO, IS
IT FOR OUR BAD OR FOR OUR GOOD?
00:13:23.90\00:13:27.24
>>GOOD. >>IT'S FOR BLESSING.
00:13:27.27\00:13:29.50
HE DOESN'T WANT
IT TO BE A BURDEN.
00:13:29.54\00:13:31.47
MATTHEW 5:19 - THESE ARE
THE WORDS OF JESUS - IF YOU'RE A
00:13:31.51\00:13:34.21
CHRISTIAN - THIS IS WHAT JESUS
SAID, "WHOSOEVER THEREFORE SHALL
00:13:34.24\00:13:37.31
BREAK ONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE
COMMANDMENTS AND TEACH MEN SO,
00:13:37.35\00:13:41.28
HE WILL BE CALLED LEAST IN
THE KINGDOM OF GOD, BUT WHOEVER
00:13:41.32\00:13:44.89
SHALL DO AND TEACH THEM, HE WILL
BE CALLED GREAT IN THE KINGDOM
00:13:44.92\00:13:50.06
OF HEAVEN." SO THE
LORD NOT ONLY WANTS US TO
00:13:50.09\00:13:53.03
HEAR IT, HE WANTS US TO DO
IT AND HE WANTS US TO TEACH IT.
00:13:53.06\00:13:56.53
AND HE SAYS THAT'S - THOSE
ARE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE BLESSED.
00:13:56.56\00:14:00.30
#5 - OF WHAT TWO PRECIOUS THINGS
DOES GOD SAYHE SABBATH IS A
00:14:00.34\00:14:05.74
SIGN? THIS IS WHERE IT STARTS
00:14:05.77\00:14:09.24
BECOMING, I THINK, REALLY
TO THE HEART OF THE ISSUE.
00:14:09.28\00:14:11.58
EXODUS 31, VERSE 17 - IT
SAYS, "IT IS A SIGN BETWEEN
00:14:11.61\00:14:16.22
ME AND THE
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL FOREVER.
00:14:16.25\00:14:19.42
FOR IN SIX DAYS THE LORD
MADE THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH."
00:14:19.45\00:14:25.99
NOW GOD MADE - THAT MEANS GOD
CREATED. ARE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD
00:14:26.03\00:14:31.50
HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE
CONCEPT THAT GOD CREATED?
00:14:31.53\00:14:34.50
YOU KNOW, THERE'S A COUPLE OF
OPTIONS: ONE IS THAT EVERYTHING
00:14:34.54\00:14:38.14
EVOLVED AND LIFE IS AN ACCIDENT,
OR THERE'S AN INTELLIGENT
00:14:38.17\00:14:40.74
CREATOR WHO COULD SPEAK
THE WORLD INTO EXISTENCE.
00:14:40.78\00:14:43.01
IF PEOPLE WERE KEEPING
THE SABBATH THE WAY GOD HAD
00:14:43.04\00:14:46.11
DESIGNED, WE WOULDN'T BE HAVING
ALL THE PROBLEMS WITH FOLKS
00:14:46.15\00:14:49.15
THINKING THAT THEY JUST EVOLVED
FROM LOWER FORMS OF LIFE AND I
00:14:49.18\00:14:52.62
SUSPECT THERE'D BE LESS SUICIDE
BECAUSE A LOT OF YOUNG PEOPLE
00:14:52.65\00:14:55.82
COMMIT SUICIDE BECAUSE THEY JUST
THINK THERE'S NO PURPOSE TO LIFE
00:14:55.86\00:14:58.13
- THAT THEY JUST EVOLVED
FROM PRIMITIVE CREATURES AND
00:14:58.16\00:15:01.03
THAT THEY'RE AN
ACCIDENT OF BIOLOGY.
00:15:01.06\00:15:03.23
EVERY SABBATH THEY WERE
REMEMBERING THAT THERE IS A
00:15:03.26\00:15:06.10
DIVINE PURPOSE.
HE IS OUR CREATOR.
00:15:06.13\00:15:08.37
AND THEN ANOTHER SIGN, EXODUS -
I'M SORRY, EZEKIEL 20, VERSE 12.
00:15:08.40\00:15:13.41
IN EZEKIEL 20, VERSE 12 HE SAYS,
"I GAVE THEM MY SABBATHS TO BE A
00:15:13.44\00:15:17.81
SIGN" - NOTICE THAT WORD 'SIGN'
- "A SIGN BETWEEN ME AND THEM
00:15:17.85\00:15:21.68
THAT THEY MIGHT KNOW THAT I
AM THE LORD THAT SANCTIFIES."
00:15:21.72\00:15:25.85
NOW YOU KNOW WHAT THE
WORD 'SANCTIFY' MEANS?
00:15:25.89\00:15:28.16
TO MAKE SOMETHING HOLY.
ARE ONLY JEWS SUPPOSED TO BE
00:15:28.19\00:15:32.76
MADE HOLY BY THE POWER
OF CHRIST? OR IS EVERYBODY
00:15:32.79\00:15:36.03
SUPPOSED TO BE MADE
HOLY? IS IT ONLY JEWS THAT ARE
00:15:36.06\00:15:39.10
SUPPOSED TO REMEMBER THAT
GOD CAN RECREATE OUR HEARTS?
00:15:39.13\00:15:42.14
HE'S THE CREATOR, WE
WANT HIM TO MAKE US HOLY.
00:15:42.17\00:15:44.57
WE WANT HIM TO CREATE
WITHIN US A NEW HEART.
00:15:44.61\00:15:47.21
EVERY SABBATH WE REMEMBER HE
CAN CREATE AND HE CAN SANCTIFY
00:15:47.24\00:15:49.74
BECAUSE THAT'S PART OF WHAT
THE DAY WAS ALL ABOUT FROM THE
00:15:49.78\00:15:54.18
VERY BEGINNING. #6 -
WHICH DAY DID JESUS KEEP HOLY?
00:15:54.22\00:15:59.49
ALRIGHT, YOU READ HERE IN LUKE
CHAPTER 4, VERSE 16 - THIS IS IN
00:15:59.52\00:16:04.43
THE NEW TESTAMENT - "AND HE CAME
TO NAZARETH WHERE HE HAD BEEN
00:16:04.46\00:16:08.13
BROUGHT UP AND AS HIS
CUSTOM WAS" - WHAT'S A CUSTOM?
00:16:08.16\00:16:12.63
SOMETHING YOU DO ONCE OR
SOMETHING THAT'S A PATTERN?
00:16:12.67\00:16:15.50
>>PATTERN. >>IT WAS
CUSTOMARY - SOMETHING
00:16:15.54\00:16:18.71
HE ALWAYS DID - "AS HIS CUSTOM
WAS HE WENT INTO THE SYNAGOGUE
00:16:18.74\00:16:21.38
ON THE SABBATH DAY
AND HE STOOD UP TO READ."
00:16:21.41\00:16:24.01
JESUS WENT TO THE SYNAGOGUE
ON THE SABBATH AND HE READ THE
00:16:24.05\00:16:26.41
SCRIPTURES. IT WAS A CUSTOM OF
HIS LIFE - A HABIT - A PRACTICE.
00:16:26.45\00:16:29.72
NOT ONLY WAS IT THE PRACTICE OF
JESUS, AND HE'S OUR EXAMPLE, IT
00:16:29.75\00:16:34.52
WAS A PRACTICE OF
THE APOSTLES AS WELL.
00:16:34.56\00:16:37.16
#7 - WHAT WAS PAUL'S CUSTOM
REGARDING THE SABBATH DAY?
00:16:37.19\00:16:42.26
PAUL, ONE OF THE GREAT - ABOUT
HALF THE NEW TESTAMENT YOU'RE
00:16:42.30\00:16:46.17
HOLDING WAS WRITTEN BY
PAUL. WHAT WAS HIS PATTERN?
00:16:46.20\00:16:49.27
ACTS 17, VERSE 2, "AND PAUL, AS
HIS CUSTOM WAS, HE WENT IN UNTO
00:16:49.30\00:16:55.81
THEM AND THREE SABBATH DAYS
HE REASONED WITH THEM OUT OF THE
00:16:55.84\00:16:59.48
SCRIPTURE." YOU CAN
JUMP TO ACTS 18, VERSE 4
00:16:59.51\00:17:02.45
AND IT SAYS, "HE REASONED IN THE
SYNAGOGUE EVERY SABBATH AND HE
00:17:02.48\00:17:07.52
PERSUADED JEWS AND
GREEKS" - JEWS AND GENTILES.
00:17:07.56\00:17:11.13
SOME PEOPLE SAY, 'WELL,
PAUL WENT THERE BECAUSE, OH, YOU
00:17:11.16\00:17:12.99
KNOW, HE WAS JUST TRYING TO
REACH THE JEWS.' BUT IT SAYS
00:17:13.03\00:17:16.23
EVEN WHEN THE JEWS DIDN'T COME,
HE'D GO AND HE'D SPEAK TO THE
00:17:16.26\00:17:18.80
GENTILES. IN FACT, BEFORE PAUL
WAS PAUL HE HAD ANOTHER NAME.
00:17:18.83\00:17:22.14
DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT WAS? >>SAUL.
00:17:22.17\00:17:24.34
>>SAUL - BEFORE HE WAS CONVERTED
HE WENT BY THE NAME SAUL AND HE
00:17:24.37\00:17:26.81
WAS OUT GATHERING AND
PERSECUTING, ARRESTING, AND
00:17:26.84\00:17:31.98
KILLING CHRISTIANS. RIGHT?
00:17:32.01\00:17:33.88
YOU KNOW WHERE THE BIBLE
SAYS HE WENT TO LOOK FOR THEM?
00:17:33.92\00:17:36.62
IT SAYS HE WENT TO
THE SYNAGOGUES TO FIND THE
00:17:36.65\00:17:39.02
CHRISTIANS. WHY?
00:17:39.05\00:17:40.99
BECAUSE THEY WERE MEETING
THE SAME DAYS THAT THE JEWS WERE
00:17:41.02\00:17:43.73
MEETING. THE EARLY
CHRISTIAN CHURCH ALL
00:17:43.76\00:17:46.29
WERE KEEPING THE SABBATH.
BUT THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH, AT
00:17:46.33\00:17:50.53
LARGE, HAS
FORGOTTEN ABOUT THIS TRUTH.
00:17:50.57\00:17:53.03
MORE AND MORE ARE DISCOVERING IT
NOW BECAUSE IT IS SO CLEARLY -
00:17:53.07\00:17:57.57
FROM GENESIS TO
REVELATION - IN THE BIBLE.
00:17:57.61\00:17:59.91
DID JESUS INTEND FOR HIS
PEOPLE TO KEEP THE SABBATH AFTER
00:17:59.94\00:18:02.58
HE DIED FOR THEIR SINS?
LISTEN TO THE PROPHECY NOW THAT
00:18:02.61\00:18:06.98
JESUS GIVES IN MATTHEW 24,
SPEAKING OF THE SECOND COMING,
00:18:07.02\00:18:10.89
HE SAID - AND THE TIME OF
TROUBLE AT THE END - HE SAID,
00:18:10.92\00:18:14.49
'PRAY THAT YOUR
FLIGHT BE NOT IN THE WINTER.'
00:18:14.52\00:18:17.03
HE'S NOT TALKING ABOUT
CATCHING A PLANE OUT OF DENVER.
00:18:17.06\00:18:19.26
HE SAYS, 'PRAY THAT YOUR FLIGHT
BE NOT IN THE WINTER' - HE'S
00:18:19.29\00:18:22.56
TALKING ABOUT FLEEING FOR YOUR
LIVES BECAUSE IT SAYS 'THOSE
00:18:22.60\00:18:24.67
THAT BE IN JUDEA
FLEE INTO THE MOUNTAINS.'
00:18:24.70\00:18:26.57
IN THE LAST DAYS WHEN
THERE'S THIS GREAT TRIBULATION,
00:18:26.60\00:18:29.24
GOD'S PEOPLE WILL
AGAIN HAVE TO FLEE.
00:18:29.27\00:18:31.37
THOSE - HE SAID, 'PRAY YOUR
FLIGHT IS NOT IN THE WINTER OR
00:18:31.41\00:18:34.28
ON THE SABBATH DAY.' WHY WOULD
JESUS SAY THAT EXCEPT JESUS
00:18:34.31\00:18:37.58
EXPECTED HIS PEOPLE WOULD STILL
KNOW ABOUT THE SABBATH IN THE
00:18:37.61\00:18:41.68
LAST DAYS - EVEN THOUGH THEY
MAY HAVE FORGOTTEN FOR AWHILE,
00:18:41.72\00:18:45.35
BEFORE HE COMES BACK
THERE'S GOING TO BE A REVIVAL OF
00:18:45.39\00:18:48.69
BIBLICAL TRUTH. NOW
JUST THINK ABOUT THIS,
00:18:48.72\00:18:51.63
FRIENDS, THAT MEANS THAT IN THE
GARDEN OF EDEN GOD CREATED FOR
00:18:51.66\00:18:55.80
ADAM AND EVE,
RIGHT? YOU STILL WITH ME?
00:18:55.83\00:18:58.43
SABBATH IS MADE FOR MAN.
WE KNOW THAT GOD'S PEOPLE THAT
00:18:58.47\00:19:01.20
HE CALLED OUT OF
EGYPT, THEY KEPT IT.
00:19:01.24\00:19:03.67
WE KNOW THAT JESUS
AND THE APOSTLES KEPT IT.
00:19:03.71\00:19:07.51
WE KNOW WE'RE GOING
TO KEEP IT IN HEAVEN.
00:19:07.54\00:19:10.68
WHY WOULD IT SUDDENLY NOT BE
IMPORTANT IN THE LAST GENERATION
00:19:10.71\00:19:14.42
BEFORE THE LORD COMES?
CAN WE BE CERTAIN THAT THE
00:19:14.45\00:19:19.35
PRESENT SEVENTH DAY OF THE WEEK
- SATURDAY - IS THE SAME SABBATH
00:19:19.39\00:19:23.59
DAY THAT JESUS KEPT
HOLY? HOW DO WE KNOW?
00:19:23.63\00:19:28.13
MAYBE, YOU KNOW, TIMES
CHANGE AND CALENDARS CHANGE.
00:19:28.16\00:19:30.30
WELL, DOES EVERYONE KNOW
WHAT DAY OF THE WEEK JESUS ROSE?
00:19:30.33\00:19:34.27
>>SUNDAY.
>>SUNDAY - EASTER SUNDAY -
00:19:34.30\00:19:37.31
NO QUESTION. LOOK IN
THE BIBLE, IT TELLS YOU.
00:19:37.34\00:19:39.77
LUKE 23, VERSE 54 ON THROUGH
LUKE 24, VERSE 1, "AND THAT DAY"
00:19:39.81\00:19:44.55
- FRIDAY AFTERNOON WHEN
CHRIST WAS CRUCIFIED - "WAS THE
00:19:44.58\00:19:48.62
PREPARATION AND THE
SABBATH DREW ON" - CLEAR ENOUGH.
00:19:48.65\00:19:53.05
THEY WANTED TO TAKE THE BODIES
DOWN BEFORE THE SABBATH, YOU
00:19:53.09\00:19:55.72
REMEMBER? AND THEY
RETURNED AND PREPARED
00:19:55.76\00:19:58.13
SPICES AND OINTMENTS AND THEY
RESTED THE SABBATH DAY ACCORDING
00:19:58.16\00:20:02.16
TO THE COMMANDMENT."
YOU NOTICE LUKE WROTE THIS.
00:20:02.20\00:20:04.77
LUKE WAS A GENTILE. LUKE
DOESN'T SAY 'ACCORDING TO
00:20:04.80\00:20:08.84
THE JEWISH LAW.' LUKE TALKS
ABOUT THE SABBATH AS THOUGH IT
00:20:08.87\00:20:11.17
WAS JUST A
SELF-EVIDENT TRUTH. THEY RESTED.
00:20:11.21\00:20:15.21
THINK ABOUT THIS, FRIENDS, JESUS
WALKED WITH THE DISCIPLES THREE
00:20:15.24\00:20:18.95
AND A HALF YEARS. THEY
HEARD AND SAW EVERYTHING
00:20:18.98\00:20:22.22
THAT COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN ABOUT
WHETHER THE SABBATH WAS TRUE.
00:20:22.25\00:20:24.79
WHEN HE DIED AND THEY COULD NOT
FINISH EMBALMING HIS BODY BEFORE
00:20:24.82\00:20:29.42
THE SUN WENT DOWN, THEY DIDN'T
WANT TO DISAPPOINT THE LORD AND
00:20:29.46\00:20:33.06
THEY SAID, 'JESUS WOULDN'T
WANT US TO DO THIS, IT'S THE
00:20:33.09\00:20:36.63
SABBATH.' THEY
STOPPED EMBALMING HIS BODY.
00:20:36.67\00:20:39.40
THEY SAID, 'WE WILL COME BACK
SUNDAY MORNING.' YOU'RE GOING TO
00:20:39.43\00:20:42.47
TELL ME THE DISCIPLES
DIDN'T THINK IT WAS IMPORTANT?
00:20:42.50\00:20:44.54
THEY WOULD NOT EVEN
FINISH THAT LABOR OF LOVE?
00:20:44.57\00:20:47.54
THEN YOU KEEP READING: "NOW, ON
THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK THEY
00:20:47.58\00:20:51.75
CAME TO THE SEPULCHER"
AND PRAISE GOD, HE AWOKE.
00:20:51.78\00:20:54.35
DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU THAT
JESUS EVEN KEPT THE SABBATH IN
00:20:54.38\00:20:57.95
HIS DEATH? FRIDAY
AFTERNOON BEFORE THE SUN
00:20:57.99\00:21:01.89
WENT DOWN HE STRETCHED OUT HIS
ARMS, HE DIED FOR OUR SINS, HE
00:21:01.92\00:21:05.19
SAID, 'IT IS FINISHED.' HE
FINISHED HIS WORK OF SAVING MAN.
00:21:05.23\00:21:09.30
HE RESTED IN THE
TOMB THROUGH THE SABBATH.
00:21:09.33\00:21:13.00
WHEN IT WAS OVER HE WOKE AND
CONTINUES HIS WORK AS OUR HIGH
00:21:13.03\00:21:16.24
PRIEST NOW IN HEAVEN. HE
EVEN KEPT IT IN HIS DEATH.
00:21:16.27\00:21:19.01
NOW, HOW DO WE
KNOW WHAT DAY THAT WAS?
00:21:19.04\00:21:22.58
WELL, JUST - YOU CAN ADD IT UP.
IT'S PRETTY CLEAR: PREPARATION
00:21:22.61\00:21:25.78
DAYS ARE GETTING READY FOR THE
SABBATH - IT'S CALLED FRIDAY.
00:21:25.81\00:21:28.45
SOME PEOPLE, DURING EASTER, THEY
CALL IT 'GOOD FRIDAY' - RIGHT?
00:21:28.48\00:21:31.72
DAY AFTER FRIDAY
IS WHAT? >>SATURDAY.
00:21:31.75\00:21:34.39
>>SATURDAY.
THAT'S THE SABBATH DAY.
00:21:34.42\00:21:36.36
NEXT DAY - SUNDAY -
FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK.
00:21:36.39\00:21:39.16
GO TO A DICTIONARY, LOOK UP
SABBATH AND SEE WHAT IT SAYS.
00:21:39.19\00:21:42.03
IT'LL SAY 'SATURDAY, SEVENTH DAY
OF THE WEEK.' OR IF YOU LOOK UP
00:21:42.06\00:21:46.40
SATURDAY, RATHER, IT'LL SAY
'SEVENTH DAY OF THE WEEK.' MOST
00:21:46.43\00:21:49.10
NORMAL CALENDARS - PRINTERS
SOMETIMES CHANGE CALENDARS FOR
00:21:49.14\00:21:52.64
WORK WEEKS, BUT MOST NORMAL
CALENDARS WILL HAVE SUNDAY IS
00:21:52.67\00:21:55.21
THE FIRST DAY,
SATURDAY IS THE SEVENTH DAY.
00:21:55.24\00:21:58.41
IT'S ALWAYS BEEN THAT
WAY. IN FACT, I KNOW WE HAVE A
00:21:58.45\00:22:01.48
SPANISH GROUP HERE AND IN - THE
WAY YOU SAY SATURDAY IN SPANISH
00:22:01.52\00:22:07.89
- SABADO. I WAS IN
RUSSIA A FEW YEARS AGO
00:22:07.92\00:22:11.66
WITH KAREN - TWENTY YEARS
AGO NOW - AND THE WAY YOU SAY IT
00:22:11.69\00:22:15.30
THERE IS 'SUBOTA.' IN 105
LANGUAGES OF THE WORLD, THE WORD
00:22:15.33\00:22:20.34
FOR SATURDAY IS THE SABBATH DAY
- EVEN IN COUNTRIES WHERE THEY
00:22:20.37\00:22:24.41
DON'T RECOGNIZE THE SABBATH,
THE WORD CALLS IT THE SABBATH.
00:22:24.44\00:22:28.04
NOW SOMEONE MIGHT SAY, 'WELL,
THE CALENDAR'S CHANGED PASTOR
00:22:28.08\00:22:31.75
DOUG AND, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T
KNOW WHAT DAY IT IS ANYMORE SO
00:22:31.78\00:22:34.62
AS LONG AS IT'S A SEVENTH DAY,
IT DOESN'T MATTER.' NO FRIENDS,
00:22:34.65\00:22:37.75
I'M SORRY, THE
SABBATH HAS NOT CHANGED.
00:22:37.79\00:22:39.75
THE SEVENTH DAY HAS NOT CHANGED.
00:22:39.79\00:22:41.16
YOU CAN LOOK - SOMEONE
ACTUALLY WROTE THE U.S.
00:22:41.19\00:22:44.16
NAVAL OBSERVATORY AND THEY ASKED
A QUESTION: 'HAVE ANY CHANGES OF
00:22:44.19\00:22:49.30
THE CALENDAR
AFFECTED THE WEEKLY CYCLE?'
00:22:49.33\00:22:52.37
AND THE RESPONSE WAS THAT
THEY'VE HAD AN OCCASION TO STUDY
00:22:52.40\00:22:56.54
THE CHANGES OF THE CALENDAR
AND THEY HAVE NEVER HAD THE
00:22:56.57\00:22:59.77
SLIGHTEST EVIDENCE THAT ANY
CHANGE IN THE CALENDAR AFFECTED
00:22:59.81\00:23:02.44
THE CONTINUITY OF THE
WEEKLY CYCLE. IT FOOLS PEOPLE.
00:23:02.48\00:23:06.45
MATTER OF FACT, IN YOUR LESSON,
IN THE BACK OF THE LESSON
00:23:06.48\00:23:10.15
YOU'LL SEE
THERE'S A LITTLE EXHIBIT.
00:23:10.19\00:23:11.52
IT'S GOT A VERY SIMPLE PICTURE
OF A CALENDAR BECAUSE IT'LL SHOW
00:23:11.55\00:23:13.99
YOU WHEN THE JULIAN CALENDAR
WAS CHANGED TO THE GREGORIAN
00:23:14.02\00:23:17.23
CALENDAR AND YOU'LL NOTICE THAT
THEY WENT FROM THURSDAY, THE 4TH
00:23:17.26\00:23:20.93
OF OCTOBER, 1582 - THEY NEEDED
TO MAKE THIS TO ADJUST FOR
00:23:20.96\00:23:24.37
DISCREPANCIES - NOW WE HAVE LEAP
YEAR TO COMPENSATE - THEY DIDN'T
00:23:24.40\00:23:28.70
HAVE THAT BACK THEN. FOR
EVERY FEW YEARS THE WHOLE
00:23:28.74\00:23:30.87
FARMING CYCLE GOT OFF SO
THEY SAID, 'WE NEED TO GO TO THE
00:23:30.91\00:23:33.94
GREGORIAN CALENDAR',
WHICH IS WHAT WE USE NOW.
00:23:33.98\00:23:36.41
THEY MADE AN ADJUSTMENT -
THURSDAY OCTOBER 1582 - THE 4TH
00:23:36.44\00:23:41.95
- WAS FOLLOWED BY FRIDAY -
THURSDAY WAS FOLLOWED BY FRIDAY,
00:23:41.98\00:23:45.59
EXCEPT THE 4TH
JUMPED TO THE 15TH.
00:23:45.62\00:23:47.46
CALENDAR CHANGED - THE
WEEKLY CYCLE IS NOT AFFECTED.
00:23:47.49\00:23:50.93
WE GET FOOLED BECAUSE WE SEE
THE WEEK AND THE CALENDAR ON THE
00:23:50.96\00:23:53.96
SAME PAGE, WE THINK CHANGING
THE CALENDAR CHANGES THE WEEK.
00:23:54.00\00:23:56.63
THEY NEVER TOUCH EACH OTHER.
THEY'RE TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
00:23:56.67\00:24:00.14
CYCLES OF TIME. SO
WHEN DOES THE SABBA BEGIN
00:24:00.17\00:24:04.17
AND END. THE
BIBLE TELLS US FROM - IN
00:24:04.21\00:24:06.71
LEVITICUS 23, VERSE 32 -
"FROM EVEN UNTO EVEN SHALL YOU
00:24:06.74\00:24:13.55
CELEBRATE YOUR SABBATH."
SO WHEN THE SUN WENT DOWN.
00:24:13.58\00:24:17.22
I KNOW THE ROMANS, IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE NIGHT THE CLOCKS - THEY
00:24:17.25\00:24:20.49
DIDN'T HAVE THAT BACK THEN,
SUNDOWN IS WHEN THE SABBATH
00:24:20.52\00:24:22.26
BEGAN. MOST OF YOU KNEW THAT.
00:24:22.29\00:24:23.79
HERE'S ANOTHER VERSE - NEW
TESTAMENT EXAMPLE - MARK 1:32,
00:24:23.83\00:24:25.69
"AND AT EVEN
WHEN THE SUN DID SET."
00:24:25.73\00:24:29.10
THEN THEY BROUGHT ALL THESE
PEOPLE TO JESUS FOR HEALING.
00:24:29.13\00:24:32.30
WHAT BLESSING IS PROMISED
BY THE SABBATH COMMANDMENT?
00:24:32.33\00:24:36.34
GOD WANTS YOU
TO HAVE A BLESSING.
00:24:36.37\00:24:38.01
NOW THIS IS WHY I THINK IT'S SO
CRUCIAL, FRIENDS, JESUS SAYS, IN
00:24:38.04\00:24:41.11
MATTHEW 11, THIS GREAT
INVITATION - VERSE 28 - "COME
00:24:41.14\00:24:44.71
UNTO ME ALL YOU WHO LABOR AND
ARE HEAVY LADEN AND I WILL GIVE
00:24:44.75\00:24:50.32
YOU REST." THE WHOLE
SABBATH POINTS TO JESUS.
00:24:50.35\00:24:54.02
IT'S ALL ABOUT
COMING TO HIM FOR REST.
00:24:54.06\00:24:56.93
HEAVEN IS THAT
PROMISED LAND OF REST.
00:24:56.96\00:24:59.39
EXODUS CHAPTER 33, VERSE 14,
GOD SAID, "MY PRESENCE WILL GO
00:24:59.43\00:25:06.20
WITH THEE AND I
WILL GIVE YOU REST."
00:25:06.23\00:25:09.24
IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD
THERE IS PEACE AND REST.
00:25:09.27\00:25:11.84
MAYBE YOU'VE BEEN MISSING
THAT PEACE AND REST, FRIENDS.
00:25:11.87\00:25:14.51
HEBREWS CHAPTER 4, VERSE 5, IT
SAYS, "IF THEY WILL ENTER INTO
00:25:14.54\00:25:18.51
MY REST." FROM COVER
TO COVER IN THE BIBLE
00:25:18.55\00:25:23.35
WE CAN SEE THAT THE DEVIL IS
TRYING TO DO ALL HE CAN TO KEEP
00:25:23.39\00:25:26.09
US SO PREOCCUPIED WITH WORK AND
WORRY AND STRESS AND CARES THAT
00:25:26.12\00:25:32.53
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT
MEANS TO REALLY REST IN JESUS.
00:25:32.56\00:25:35.73
AND RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF
HIS LAW, GOD SAID, 'I WANT TO
00:25:35.76\00:25:38.57
PRESERVE A TIME FOR US
TO DEVELOP A RELATIONSHIP.
00:25:38.60\00:25:41.30
AFTER HE MAKES THE WORLD IN SIX
DAYS, GOD SAYS, 'I'M NOT DONE.
00:25:41.34\00:25:44.71
I'M MAKING ONE MORE DAY FOR
QUALITY TIME WITH YOU BECAUSE I
00:25:44.74\00:25:48.84
LOVE YOU. I WANT TO WALK
WITH YOU AND TALK WITH YOU.
00:25:48.88\00:25:51.35
I WANT TO HAVE A
RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU."
00:25:51.38\00:25:53.45
WHAT SHOULD WE LOVE MORE,
THE CREATION OR THE CREATOR?
00:25:53.48\00:25:57.62
>>CREATOR. >>HE WANTS TO HAVE A
00:25:57.65\00:26:00.16
RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU, BUT WE
GET TOO BUSY WITH THE HOZONTAL
00:26:00.19\00:26:03.56
- THE WORRIES - AND WE
FORGET ABOUT OUR TIME WITH GOD.
00:26:03.59\00:26:06.33
WHAT PROFIT IS IT IF YOU GAIN
THE WHOLE WORLD AND LOSE YOUR
00:26:06.36\00:26:08.86
SOUL? IF YOU DON'T
HAVE GOD, YOU DON'T
00:26:08.90\00:26:10.77
HAVE ANYTHING. IF YOU'VE
GOT GOD, YOU'VE GOT EVERYTHING.
00:26:10.80\00:26:12.87
IF YOU'VE GOT JESUS, YOU'VE
GOT THE WHOLE WORLD, FRIENDS.
00:26:12.90\00:26:16.84
AND CHRIST SAID WHAT? HE
SAID, 'IF YOU LOVE ME, KEEP
00:26:16.87\00:26:20.48
MY COMMANDMENTS.
