00:01:59.68\00:02:03.79
NOW TONIGHT WE HAVE A VERY
IMPORTANT LESSON THAT IS DEALING
00:02:03.82\00:02:07.29
WITH A SUBJECT THAT IS OF GREAT
INTEREST AMONG CHRISTIANS THESE
00:02:07.32\00:02:10.59
DAYS AND IT DOES HAVE A VERY
IMPORTANT BEARING ON THE ISSUES
00:02:10.63\00:02:15.43
OF PROPHECY. THE
TITLE OF THE LESSON IS
00:02:15.46\00:02:18.10
CALLED THE REST OF OUR
WORK - THE REST OF OUR WORK.
00:02:18.13\00:02:22.94
NOW WE'RE GOING TO BEGIN WITH A
STORY IN YOUR BIBLE THAT'S DRAWN
00:02:22.97\00:02:26.21
FROM THE BOOK OF EXODUS.
IN EXODUS, WE KNOW THAT THE
00:02:26.24\00:02:31.41
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL MIRACULOUSLY
CROSSED OVER THE RED SEA AND
00:02:31.45\00:02:34.12
NOW, AS THEY'RE GOING THROUGH
THE WILDERNESS, THEY HAD A FEW
00:02:34.15\00:02:38.52
TRYING DAYS BETWEEN THE
RED SEA AND MOUNT SINAI.
00:02:38.55\00:02:43.02
THEIR PROVISIONS RAN LOW
AND THEY STARTED TO COMPLAIN.
00:02:43.06\00:02:46.83
GOD SAID, 'LOOK, I'M
GOING TO WORK A MIRACLE FOR YOU.
00:02:46.86\00:02:49.33
HERE'S WHAT I'M GOING TO
DO. I'M GOING TO RAIN DOWN BREAD
00:02:49.36\00:02:51.90
FROM HEAVEN FOR YOU.' -
WHAT DO THEY CALL THAT BREAD?
00:02:51.93\00:02:54.87
>>MANNA. >>MANNA.
00:02:54.90\00:02:56.44
'AND I'M GOING TO DO IT SIX
DAYS A WEEK. GO OUT EARLY IN THE
00:02:56.47\00:03:00.14
MORNING. YOU GATHER IT UP
AND THERE WILL NOT BE ANY ON
00:03:00.18\00:03:04.61
THE SEVENTH
DAY.' WHY? >>SABBATH.
00:03:04.65\00:03:09.45
>>IT WAS THE SABBATH - EVER
SINCE THE GARDEN OF EDEN - AND
00:03:09.48\00:03:12.12
HE SAID, 'GATHER TWICE AS MUCH
ON FRIDAY SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO
00:03:12.15\00:03:15.66
GATHER IT.' AND THEN YOU
CAN READ THERE, THEN MOSES SAID,
00:03:15.69\00:03:18.26
'EAT THAT TODAY FOR TODAY IS
A SABBATH TO THE LORD.' - TODAY
00:03:18.29\00:03:21.43
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO FIND IT IN
THE FIELD.' INTERESTING MIRACLE
00:03:21.46\00:03:24.00
FOR FORTY YEARS. FORTY
YEARS THERE WAS MANNA THAT
00:03:24.03\00:03:27.07
RAINED DOWN SIX DAYS A
WEEK, BUT NONE ON THE SEVENTH.
00:03:27.10\00:03:31.07
NOW SOME PEOPLE SAY THE SABBATH
COMMAND APPEARED AT MOUNT SINAI
00:03:31.11\00:03:36.61
AND IT WAS GIVEN TO THE JEWS
ONLY. YOU NOTICE IT'S EXODUS 16,
00:03:36.64\00:03:40.28
WHERE GOD TELLS THEM ABOUT THE
MANNA COMING SIX DAYS A WEEK?
00:03:40.32\00:03:43.32
THEY HAVEN'T
GOTTEN TO MOUNT SINAI YET.
00:03:43.35\00:03:45.72
THE SABBATH GOES ALL THE
WAY BACK TO THE BEGINNING.
00:03:45.75\00:03:48.06
NOW, PLEASE HEAR
ME VERY CAREFULLY.
00:03:48.09\00:03:52.19
WE'RE GOING TO STUDY THE SUBJECT
OF THE SABBATH TONIGHT AND I'M
00:03:52.23\00:03:56.20
GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW IT IS
AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN PROPHECY.
00:03:56.23\00:03:58.90
FIRST REMEMBER, IN THE
LAST DAYS, THE MARK OF THE BEAST
00:03:58.93\00:04:03.20
COMPELS EVERYBODY TO RECEIVE
A MARK IN THE RIGHT HAND OR THE
00:04:03.24\00:04:07.04
FOREHEAD AND
WHOEVER DOESN'T DO WHAT?
00:04:07.08\00:04:09.21
WORSHIP THE IMAGE OF THE
BEAST SHOULD BE KILLED.' WHOEVER
00:04:09.24\00:04:13.35
DOESN'T WORSHIP. IS
WORSHIP GOING TO BE AN ISSUE
00:04:13.38\00:04:16.42
IN THE LAST DAYS? >>YES.
00:04:16.45\00:04:19.09
>>IN THE VERY FIRST CONFLICT
BETWEEN CAIN AND ABEL, CAIN
00:04:19.12\00:04:24.16
CLAIMED TO WORSHIP GOD,
ABEL CLAIMED TO WORSHIP GOD.
00:04:24.19\00:04:27.50
THEY BOTH BUILT ALTARS.
ONE WORSHIPED GOD THE WAY GOD
00:04:27.50\00:04:29.96
SAID - THAT'S ABEL - CAIN SAID,
'I'M GOING TO DO IT MY OWN WAY.'
00:04:30.00\00:04:33.10
GOD SAID, 'I'M NOT ACCEPTING
YOUR SACRIFICE, BUT I'M
00:04:33.13\00:04:37.04
ACCEPTING THE SACRIFICE
OF ABEL.' CAIN GOT MAD.
00:04:37.07\00:04:40.38
HE PERSECUTED AND KILLED
HIS BROTHER AND IT WAS ALL OVER
00:04:40.41\00:04:44.31
WORSHIP. FROM THE
BEGINNING TO THE END -
00:04:44.35\00:04:48.52
WHAT DID THE DEVIL WANT
FROM JESUS? 'YOU FALL DOWN AND
00:04:48.55\00:04:51.05
WORSHIP ME, I'LL GIVE IT ALL
TO YOU.' IF WE DON'T UNDERSTAND
00:04:51.09\00:04:54.89
THIS SUBJECT AND WE DON'T THINK
THAT'S CONNECTED WITH LAST-DAY
00:04:54.92\00:04:58.76
PROPHECY, FRIENDS,
YOU'RE KIDDING YOURSELF.
00:04:58.79\00:05:01.06
IT IS ALL VERY INTEGRATED - FROM
COVER TO COVER IN THE BIBLE.
00:05:01.10\00:05:04.43
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE THAT
I THINK WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND.
00:05:04.47\00:05:07.27
WELL, THAT'S MY INTRODUCTION AND
NOW WE'RE GOING TO GO INTO THE
00:05:07.30\00:05:10.54
LESSON AND I WANT TO BE GENTLE
AS I SHARE THESE THINGS WITH
00:05:10.57\00:05:14.08
YOU, BECAUSE WHAT I'M SHARING
WITH YOU, I REMEMBER THE FIRST
00:05:14.11\00:05:16.38
TIME I HEARD IT
AND IT REALLY SHOOK ME.
00:05:16.41\00:05:19.65
I THINK IT SHOOK ME BECAUSE
IT WAS SO COMPELLING, BUT I FELT
00:05:19.68\00:05:23.69
LIKE I SHOULD HAVE
KNOWN THESE THINGS.
00:05:23.72\00:05:25.59
ALRIGHT, LET'S GO TO
QUESTION #1 IN YOUR STUDY.
00:05:25.62\00:05:28.82
WHAT DAY OF THE WEEK IS THE
SABBATH - THE BIBLICAL SABBATH?
00:05:28.86\00:05:32.93
BEFORE I GIVE YOU THE ANSWER,
I WANT TO MAKE SOMETHING VERY
00:05:32.96\00:05:37.87
CLEAR. I
BELIEVE THERE ARE LOVING
00:05:37.90\00:05:42.04
SPIRIT-FILLED CHRISTIAN
PEOPLE IN ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT
00:05:42.07\00:05:45.97
DENOMINATIONS. IS THAT CLEAR?
00:05:46.01\00:05:47.71
I COULD START NAMING RELIGIOUS
LEADERS THAT YOU SEE ON TV -
00:05:47.74\00:05:51.15
I'VE MET MANY OF THEM THAT
ARE FRIENDS. I RESPECT THEM.
00:05:51.18\00:05:56.32
THEY RESPECT ME AND WE
RESPECTFULLY MAYBE DISAGREE ON
00:05:56.35\00:06:00.29
SOME THINGS, BUT I
DON'T QUESTION THAT.
00:06:00.32\00:06:02.92
I KNOW THERE ARE GOING TO
BE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN HEAVEN
00:06:02.96\00:06:05.63
THAT MAYBE WENT TO
CHURCH ON THE WRONG DAY.
00:06:05.66\00:06:07.66
BUT THE TRUTH
IS STILL THE TRUTH.
00:06:07.73\00:06:09.80
HERE'S WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS IN
GENESIS 2, VERSES 2 AND 3, "AND
00:06:09.83\00:06:13.64
ON THE SEVENTH DAY GOD ENDED HIS
WORK WHICH HE HAD DONE, AND HE
00:06:13.67\00:06:19.21
RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY FROM
ALL HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD DONE.
00:06:19.24\00:06:22.88
THEN GOD BLESSED THE SEVENTH
DAY..." - THIS IS GENESIS 2.
00:06:22.91\00:06:26.82
THIS IS ABOUT AS FAR BACK AS YOU
CAN GO IN THE BEGINNING OF YOUR
00:06:26.85\00:06:30.52
BIBLE. SO DOES GOD SAY THAT
HE MADE THE SABBATH FOR JEWS?
00:06:30.55\00:06:35.66
HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE IN
THE WORLD WHEN GOD DID THIS?
00:06:35.69\00:06:37.99
>>TWO. >>TWO.
WHAT WERE THEIR NAMES?
00:06:38.03\00:06:40.63
>>ADAM AND EVE. >>ADAM AND EVE.
00:06:40.66\00:06:42.60
YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE SAYS THAT
THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR MAN.
00:06:42.63\00:06:45.17
WHAT ELSE DID GOD MAKE FOR MAN
IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN? WOMAN.
00:06:45.20\00:06:49.70
IT SAYS, 'IT'S NOT GOOD THAT A
MAN SHOULD BE ALONE.' NOW HERE'S
00:06:49.74\00:06:53.07
A QUESTION: DO
WE STILL NEED WOMEN?
00:06:53.11\00:06:55.21
(LAUGHTER) DO WE ALSO
STILL NEED THAT DAY OF REST?
00:06:55.24\00:07:00.85
>>YES. >>THEY'RE
EQUALLY IMPORTANT.
00:07:00.88\00:07:03.92
ALRIGHT, NOW YOU NOTICE
SOMETHING ELSE HERE - IT DOESN'T
00:07:03.95\00:07:08.12
SAY 'AND ON A SEVENTH DAY' - IT
SAYS, 'ON THE SEVENTH DAY.' IS
00:07:08.16\00:07:14.36
THERE A DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN SAYING 'A' AND 'THE'?
00:07:14.40\00:07:17.57
IF I WERE TO JUST CALL OUT TO
THE AUDIENCE NOW AND SAY, 'COULD
00:07:17.60\00:07:20.47
YOU PLEASE BRING ME 'THE' PEN?'
YOU'D LOOK AT EACH OTHER AND
00:07:20.50\00:07:23.57
SAY, 'I WONDER WHO
HAS 'THE' PEN?' RIGHT?
00:07:23.61\00:07:26.74
'THE SPECIAL PEN.' BUT IF I SAY
'BRING ME 'A' PEN, HALF OF YOU
00:07:26.78\00:07:31.71
MIGHT JUMP OUT OF YOUR SEATS AND
GIVE ME A PEN BECAUSE IT DOESN'T
00:07:31.75\00:07:34.12
MATTER WHAT PEN, IT'S ANY PEN.
SO GOD DOESN'T SAY 'REMEMBER
00:07:34.15\00:07:36.28
'A' SEVENTH DAY' HE SAYS,
'REMEMBER 'THE' SEVENTH DAY.'
00:07:36.32\00:07:39.39
IT'S A DEFINITE
ARTICLE. IT'S VERY SPECIFIC.
00:07:39.42\00:07:41.26
HOW HAS GOD DEMONSTRATED THE
IMPORTANCE OF HIS HOLY SABBATH.
00:07:41.29\00:07:45.66
EXODUS CHAPTER 20, VERSE
8 - MADE IT ONE OF THE TEN
00:07:45.69\00:07:49.83
COMMANDMENTS. IT
SAYS, "REMEMBER," - WHY DO
00:07:49.86\00:07:53.30
YOU THINK GOD BEGINS
THAT COMMANDMENT WITH THE WORD
00:07:53.34\00:07:54.97
'REMEMBER'? HE
KNEW WE MIGHT FORGET.
00:07:55.00\00:07:56.87
"REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY TO
KEEP IT HOLY...THE LORD BLESSED
00:07:56.91\00:08:02.78
THE SABBATH DAY AND HALLOWED
IT" - THE BIBLE TELLS US.
00:08:02.81\00:08:06.08
NOW YOU NOTICE THAT GOD DIDN'T
SAY, 'I WANT YOU TO MAKE IT
00:08:06.11\00:08:10.92
HOLY' OR 'PICK A DAY AND MAKE IT
HOLY,' GOD SAYS, 'I HAVE PICKED
00:08:10.95\00:08:13.92
THE DAY AND I MADE IT HOLY AND I
SANCTIFIED IT AND I BLESSED IT.
00:08:13.96\00:08:17.76
I WANT YOU TO ENJOY THOSE
BLESSINGS THAT I PUT INTO THAT
00:08:17.79\00:08:21.10
DAY.' DOES HE SAY 'EVERYBODY
JUST KIND OF PICK YOUR DAY'?
00:08:21.13\00:08:24.50
OR DOES HE SAY THERE IS A DAY
WHERE WE WORSHIP CORPORATELY.
00:08:24.53\00:08:28.60
IT SAYS IN LEVITICUS 23, 'THE
SABBATH IS A HOLY CONVOCATION.'
00:08:28.64\00:08:32.81
YOU KNOW WHAT THE
WORD 'CONVOCATION' MEANS?
00:08:32.84\00:08:34.54
A CONVENING. THEY WERE TO
COME TOGETHER AND WORSHIP GOD.
00:08:34.58\00:08:37.71
HE HAD BLESSED A TIME FOR
THEM. SO THAT'S IMPORTANT.
00:08:37.75\00:08:41.15
NOW I KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF
PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT WILL SAY,
00:08:41.18\00:08:45.69
'PASTOR DOUG, YOU'RE FOCUSING ON
ONE LITTLE THING AND THIS IS NOT
00:08:45.72\00:08:48.99
A BIG ISSUE AND IT DOESN'T
MATTER.' OR, YOU KNOW, 'THE LAW
00:08:49.02\00:08:53.46
WAS NAILED TO THE CROSS' AND -
HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE HEARD SOME
00:08:53.50\00:08:57.57
OF THESE ARGUMENTS BEFORE?
WHEN I FIRST READ THESE THINGS I
00:08:57.60\00:09:01.34
SAID, 'HOW CAN THIS BE RIGHT?
HOW CAN EVERYBODY BE WRONG?
00:09:01.37\00:09:06.61
HOW COULD THE
MAJORITY BE WRONG ABOUT THIS?
00:09:06.64\00:09:09.14
AND THEN I REMEMBER IT WAS THE
MAJORITY, WHEN JESUS CAME THE
00:09:09.18\00:09:12.61
FIRST TIME, THAT
DID NOT ACCEPT HIM.
00:09:12.65\00:09:15.25
MOSES SAID, 'FOLLOW NOT A
MULTITUDE TO DO EVIL.' I SAID,
00:09:15.28\00:09:19.12
'WELL, I'M GOING TO GO ASK SOME
PASTORS.' I WAS A BABY CHRISTIAN
00:09:19.15\00:09:23.89
SO WHEN I FIRST LEARNED THESE
THINGS I WENT TO CHURCH SUNDAY
00:09:23.93\00:09:26.16
LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE, AND I
SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER BECAUSE
00:09:26.19\00:09:27.96
MY MOTHER'S JEWISH AND I
THOUGHT, 'WELL, THERE MUST - I
00:09:27.96\00:09:30.97
HAVEN'T READ THE WHOLE BIBLE,
IT'S A BIG BOOK - SOMEWHERE IN
00:09:31.00\00:09:33.10
THERE IT SAYS THAT GOD CHANGED
IT AND I JUST HAVEN'T FOUND IT
00:09:33.13\00:09:35.04
YET.' SO I WENT TO THE PASTORS
AND I SAID, 'WHY DO WE GO TO
00:09:35.07\00:09:40.51
CHURCH ON SUNDAY IF
SATURDAY IS THE SABBATH?
00:09:40.54\00:09:44.35
AND ONE OF THEM SAID, 'WELL,
THAT'S BECAUSE JESUS ROSE ON THE
00:09:44.38\00:09:49.45
FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK AND THAT
MADE IT THE NEW SABBATH.' AND I
00:09:49.48\00:09:52.92
SAID, 'ALRIGHT, WELL WHERE'S
THE VERSE THAT SAYS THAT?'
00:09:52.95\00:09:54.82
'WELL, THERE'S NOT REALLY A
SPECIFIC VERSE, BUT WE HAVE A
00:09:54.86\00:09:58.13
LONG-STANDING TRADITION.'
HMM...I SAID, 'OH, I'D LIKE MORE
00:09:58.16\00:10:02.00
THAN THAT.' I WENT TO ANOTHER
PASTOR AND I SAID, 'WHY ARE WE
00:10:02.03\00:10:05.40
GOING TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY?'
AND WE'RE NOT EVEN KEEPING
00:10:05.43\00:10:08.70
SUNDAY VERY HOLY. LET'S FACE IT.
00:10:08.74\00:10:11.07
A LOT OF PEOPLE, THEY PUT IN
AN HOUR AND A HALF AT CHURCH AND
00:10:11.11\00:10:14.21
THEN THEY GO TO THE MOVIES,
THEY GO TO THE MALL, THEY GO MOW
00:10:14.24\00:10:16.04
THEIR LAWN, RIGHT?
EVEN AMONG PEOPLE THAT DON'T
00:10:16.08\00:10:20.05
KEEP THE SEVENTH DAY, NOT VERY
MANY PEOPLE ARE KEEPING IT HOLY.
00:10:20.08\00:10:22.28
AND I REMEMBER ONE PASTOR SAID,
'WELL, PASTOR DOUG, WE DON'T
00:10:22.32\00:10:26.62
NEED TO KEEP IT, IT'S PART OF
THE LAW AND IT'S ALL NAILED TO
00:10:26.65\00:10:30.03
THE CROSS.' I
SAID, 'DO WE KEEP THE TEN
00:10:30.06\00:10:33.26
COMMANDMENTS OR NOT?' I
WAS DOING A MEETING LIKE THIS
00:10:33.29\00:10:36.16
ONE TIME AND A PASTOR
CAME AND HE INTERRUPTED ME.
00:10:36.20\00:10:38.37
HE SAID, 'PASTOR DOUG, YOU'RE
PUTTING THESE PEOPLE UNDER
00:10:38.40\00:10:41.90
BONDAGE BY TEACHING THE LAW.'
AND I SAID, 'DO YOU BELIEVE
00:10:41.94\00:10:45.94
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO
KEEP THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?'
00:10:45.97\00:10:48.18
HE SAID, 'NO.' WELL, SOME OF
HIS MEMBERS WERE THERE AND THEY
00:10:48.21\00:10:51.31
LOOKED AT HIM LIKE - BECAUSE,
YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW,
00:10:51.35\00:10:55.02
YOU DON'T KILL, DON'T LIE, DON'T
STEAL, AND SO HE HAD NO PROBLEM
00:10:55.05\00:10:57.65
WITH THE OTHERS.
00:10:57.69\00:10:59.19
AND THEN HE SAID, 'WELL, YES.'
BUT THEN, YOU KNOW, IT'S PART OF
00:10:59.22\00:11:02.89
A COMPLETE PACKAGE - IT'S RIGHT
IN THE MIDDLE - AND THEN HE
00:11:02.92\00:11:06.36
SAID, 'NINE OF THEM.' AND I
SAID, 'SO BROTHER, YOU'RE SAYING
00:11:06.39\00:11:11.17
THAT THE ONE COMMANDMENT
THAT GOD BEGINS WITH THE WORD
00:11:11.20\00:11:13.67
'REMEMBER' IS THE ONLY
ONE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO FORGET?'
00:11:13.70\00:11:18.31
I SAID, 'THAT DIDN'T MAKE
SENSE.' BUT, I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT
00:11:18.34\00:11:22.01
CONVINCED ME IS I ASKED TEN
PASTORS, I GOT TWELVE DIFFERENT
00:11:22.04\00:11:24.51
ANSWERS - THEY
WERE ALL DIFFERENT.
00:11:24.55\00:11:26.45
I SAID, 'SOMETHING'S WRONG HERE.
WE DON'T HAVE A GOOD BIBLICAL
00:11:26.48\00:11:28.62
REASON.' GOD DID
SOMETHING SPECIAL ON THIS DAY.
00:11:28.65\00:11:32.05
IT SAYS THREE, IN
PARTICULAR, THINGS.
00:11:32.09\00:11:34.59
IT SAYS GOD RESTED THAT DAY, GOD
BLESSED THAT DAY, GOD SANCTIFIED
00:11:34.62\00:11:41.56
THE SEVENTH DAY. HE'S GOD.
YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT HE GETS
00:11:41.60\00:11:45.33
TO MAKE THE RULES.
WHICH DAY DID JESUS KEEP HOLY?
00:11:45.37\00:11:50.11
ALRIGHT, YOU READ HERE IN LUKE
CHAPTER 4, VERSE 16 - THIS IS IN
00:11:50.14\00:11:53.94
THE NEW TESTAMENT - "SO HE CAME
TO NAZARETH, WHERE HE HAD BEEN
00:11:53.98\00:11:57.95
BROUGHT UP. AND AS HIS
CUSTOM WAS," - WHAT'S A CUSTOM?
00:11:57.98\00:12:03.39
SOMETHING YOU DO ONCE OR
SOMETHING THAT'S A PATTERN?
00:12:03.42\00:12:05.85
>>PATTERN. >>IT WAS
CUSTOMARY - SOMETHING
00:12:05.89\00:12:08.02
HE ALWAYS DID. "AS HIS CUSTOM
WAS, HE WENT INTO THE SYNAGOGUE
00:12:08.06\00:12:10.93
ON THE SABBATH DAY, AND STOOD
UP TO READ." JESUS WENT TO THE
00:12:10.96\00:12:15.33
SYNAGOGUE ON THE SABBATH
AND HE READ THE SCRIPTURES.
00:12:15.36\00:12:16.90
IT WAS A CUSTOM OF HIS
LIFE - A HABIT - A PRACTICE.
00:12:16.93\00:12:20.67
NOT ONLY WAS IT THE PRACTICE OF
JESUS, AND HE'S OUR EXAMPLE, IT
00:12:20.70\00:12:25.04
WAS A PRACTICE OF
THE APOSTLES AS WELL.
00:12:25.07\00:12:28.88
WHAT WAS PAUL'S CUSTOM
REGARDING THE SABBATH DAY?
00:12:28.91\00:12:32.11
PAUL, ONE OF THE GREAT - ABOUT
HALF OF THE NEW TESTAMENT YOU'RE
00:12:32.15\00:12:34.62
HOLDING WAS WRITTEN BY
PAUL. WHAT WAS HIS PATTERN?
00:12:34.65\00:12:38.19
ACTS 17, VERSE 2, "THEN PAUL,
AS HIS MANNER WAS, WENT IN UNTO
00:12:38.22\00:12:44.76
THEM, AND THREE SABBATH DAYS
REASONED WITH THEM OUT OF THE
00:12:44.79\00:12:48.10
SCRIPTURES," - YOU CAN JUMP
TO ACTS 18, VERSE 4 AND IT SAYS,
00:12:48.13\00:12:52.40
"HE REASONED IN THE SYNAGOGUE
EVERY SABBATH, AND PERSUADED THE
00:12:52.43\00:12:57.47
JEWS AND THE GREEKS." -
JEWS AND GENTILES - SOME
00:12:57.51\00:12:59.94
PEOPLE SAY, 'WELL PAUL WENT
THERE BECAUSE HE WAS JUST TRYING
00:13:00.04\00:13:03.45
TO REACH THE JEWS.' BUT IT SAYS
EVEN WHEN THE JEWS DIDN'T COME,
00:13:03.48\00:13:06.45
HE'D GO AND HE'D
SPEAK TO THE GENTILES.
00:13:06.48\00:13:08.65
IN FACT, BEFORE PAUL WAS
PAUL HE HAD ANOTHER NAME.
00:13:08.68\00:13:11.12
YOU KNOW WHAT IT WAS? >>SAUL.
00:13:11.15\00:13:12.39
>>SAUL - BEFORE HE WAS CONVERTED
HE WENT BY THE NAME SAUL AND HE
00:13:12.42\00:13:17.56
WAS OUT GATHERING AND
PERSECUTING, ARRESTING, KILLING
00:13:17.59\00:13:20.90
CHRISTIANS, RIGHT? YOU
KNOW WHERE THE BIBLE SAYS HE
00:13:20.93\00:13:24.37
WENT TO LOOK FOR
THEM? IT SAYS HE WENT TO THE
00:13:24.40\00:13:26.77
SYNAGOGUES TO FIND
THE CHRISTIANS. WHY?
00:13:26.80\00:13:29.80
BECAUSE THEY WERE MEETING
THE SAME DAYS THAT THE JEWS WERE
00:13:29.84\00:13:32.74
MEETING. THE EARLY
CHRISTIAN CHURCH ALL
00:13:32.77\00:13:35.54
WERE KEEPING THE SABBATH.
HOW IMPORTANT DO YOU THINK ONE
00:13:35.58\00:13:39.95
OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
WAS TO THE JEWISH NATION?
00:13:39.98\00:13:43.65
WHEN THE CHRISTIANS ACCEPTED
JESUS - GENTILE AND JEW - THEY
00:13:43.69\00:13:48.49
ARGUED OVER CIRCUMCISION; THEY
ARGUED OVER THE FEAST DAYS AND A
00:13:48.52\00:13:52.93
NUMBER OF THINGS. YOU
DON'T FIND ANY ARGUMENT OVER
00:13:52.96\00:13:56.03
THE SUBJECT OF WHETHER OR NOT
WE'RE GOING TO KEEP THE SABBATH.
00:13:56.06\00:13:59.23
EVERY TIME JESUS HAD A DISPUTE
OVER THE SABBATH, IT WASN'T
00:13:59.27\00:14:02.20
WHETHER OR NOT TO KEEP
IT, IT WAS HOW TO KEEP IT.
00:14:02.24\00:14:05.94
HE SAID, 'THE SABBATH IS FOR
DOING GOOD, NOT FOR DOING EVIL.'
00:14:05.97\00:14:08.31
HE HEALED SOMEBODY, RIGHT?
HE NEVER SAID, 'DON'T KEEP THE
00:14:08.34\00:14:10.95
SABBATH ANYMORE.' JESUS, AS
HIS CUSTOM WAS, HE WENT INTO THE
00:14:10.98\00:14:14.32
SYNAGOGUE. THE
BIBLE IS SO CLEAR - THINK
00:14:14.35\00:14:16.99
ABOUT IT - WHEN GOD GAVE
THE LAW, HOW CLEARLY DID HE
00:14:17.02\00:14:21.02
ADVERTISE IT? HE
GATHERS THE WHOLE NATION,
00:14:21.06\00:14:24.59
FROM THIS DIVINE MEGAPHONE ON
THE TOP OF MOUNT SINAI HE, WITH
00:14:24.63\00:14:28.10
HIS OWN VOICE, ANNOUNCES THE
TEN COMMANDMENTS TO THE PEOPLE.
00:14:28.13\00:14:32.77
HE THEN SAYS,
'EVERYONE GOT THAT?' 'WE GOT IT!
00:14:32.80\00:14:34.80
ALL THE LORD HAS SAID WE WILL
DO.' HE SAYS, 'NOW I'M GOING TO
00:14:34.84\00:14:36.24
WRITE IT DOWN.' HE WRITES IT.
MOSES GETS MAD, HE BREAKS THOSE.
00:14:36.27\00:14:40.14
GOD SAYS, 'MOSES, I CUT OUT THE
FIRST STONES, YOU CUT OUT THE
00:14:40.18\00:14:42.88
NEXT STONES, BUT I'M WRITING IT
BACK DOWN AGAIN.' MOSES BRINGS
00:14:42.91\00:14:44.95
UP SOME MORE STONES, GOD
WRITES IT DOWN AGAIN. WHY?
00:14:44.98\00:14:48.08
'HEAVEN AND
EARTH WILL PASS AWAY.
00:14:48.12\00:14:49.92
MY WORD WILL NOT PASS
AWAY.' HE WROTE IT IN STONE.
00:14:49.95\00:14:52.92
IF GOD WAS GOING TO CHANGE ONE
OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, DON'T
00:14:52.95\00:14:56.36
YOU THINK THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN
A REALLY HOT TOPIC IN THE NEW
00:14:56.39\00:14:59.69
TESTAMENT? >>AMEN.
00:14:59.73\00:15:01.40
>>OH, THERE WOULD HAVE
BEEN INCREDIBLE DEBATE AND
00:15:01.43\00:15:03.30
DISCUSSION. IT WOULD
HAVE BEEN VERY CLEAR.
00:15:03.33\00:15:04.97
ALL OF THE APOSTLES
WOULD HAVE ADDRESSED IT.
00:15:05.00\00:15:07.20
BUT THEY DON'T BECAUSE IT WAS AN
UNDERSTOOD TRUTH. IT'S LIKE OUR
00:15:07.24\00:15:11.84
FOUNDING FATHERS SAID -
CERTAIN THINGS ARE SELF-EVIDENT.
00:15:11.87\00:15:14.98
AND FOR ALL OF THE EARLY
CHRISTIANS, IT WAS SELF-EVIDENT
00:15:15.01\00:15:17.65
THAT THEY KEPT THE SABBATH
DAY. WHY WOULD GOD CHANGE IT?
00:15:17.68\00:15:21.58
WHAT WAS WRONG
WITH THE SEVENTH DAY?
00:15:21.62\00:15:23.18
DO GENTILE CHRISTIANS
NOT NEED WORSHIP AND REST?
00:15:23.22\00:15:27.32
'PASTOR DOUG, DOESN'T IT SAY
IN COLOSSIANS CHAPTER 2, 'LET NO
00:15:27.36\00:15:31.06
MAN JUDGE YOU CONCERNING MEAT
OR DRINK OR NEW MOONS OR SABBATH
00:15:31.09\00:15:34.96
DAYS, WHICH ARE SHADOWS'?
LOOK AT THAT, MY BIBLE JUST
00:15:35.00\00:15:37.67
TURNED TO IT - COLOSSIANS
CHAPTER 2 - YOU READ IN VERSE
00:15:37.70\00:15:40.54
13, "AND YOU BEING DEAD
IN YOUR TRESPASSES AND THE
00:15:40.57\00:15:45.11
UNCIRCUMCISION OF YOUR
FLESH, HE HAS MADE ALIVE" -
00:15:45.14\00:15:47.91
NOTICE PAUL USES THE WORD
'CIRCUMCISION' THERE SO IT TELLS
00:15:47.94\00:15:49.74
YOU WHAT THE TOPIC IS. "HE
HAS MADE ALIVE TOGETHER WITH
00:15:49.78\00:15:52.48
HIM HAVING FORGIVEN ALL YOUR
TRESPASSES; HAVING WIPED OUT THE
00:15:52.51\00:15:55.92
HANDWRITING" - TEN COMMANDMENTS,
WERE THEY WRITTEN, LIKE THE LAW
00:15:55.95\00:16:00.09
OF MOSES, ON PAPER BY HAND OR
BY THE FINGER OF GOD IN STONE?
00:16:00.12\00:16:03.83
THERE WAS - THE CEREMONIAL LAW
WAS WRITTEN BY MOSES - "HAVING
00:16:03.86\00:16:07.30
WIPED OUT THE HANDWRITING OF
REQUIREMENTS THAT WAS AGAINST
00:16:07.36\00:16:10.57
US" - WHEN MOSES WROTE THE
CEREMONIAL LAW HE PUT IT IN THE
00:16:10.60\00:16:14.10
OUTSIDE OF THE ARK IN A POCKET
AND HE SAID, 'THIS WILL BE A
00:16:14.14\00:16:16.81
WITNESS AGAINST YOU.' HE
DIDN'T SAY THAT ABOUT THE TEN
00:16:16.84\00:16:19.81
COMMANDMENTS. "THE
HANDWRITING OF ORDINANCE
00:16:19.84\00:16:22.31
THAT WAS AGAINST US, TAKING
IT OUT OF THE WAY, NAILING IT TO
00:16:22.34\00:16:26.01
THE CROSS." AND
THEN I'LL JUMP DOWN.
00:16:26.05\00:16:28.85
HE SAYS IN VERSE 16, "SO LET
NO ONE JUDGE YOU IN FOOD OR IN
00:16:28.88\00:16:33.09
DRINK, OR REGARDING OF A
FESTIVAL, OR A NEW MOON, OR
00:16:33.12\00:16:35.62
SABBATHS, WHICH ARE A
SHADOW OF THINGS TO COME."
00:16:35.66\00:16:39.73
PEOPLE SAY, 'SEE, DON'T LET
ANYONE JUDGE YOU REGARDING THE
00:16:39.76\00:16:41.66
SABBATH.' THEY'RE NOT READING IT
HONESTLY. THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT
00:16:41.70\00:16:45.30
KINDS OF SABBATHS IN THE BIBLE.
THERE WAS THE SABBATH OF THE TEN
00:16:45.33\00:16:48.57
COMMANDMENTS AND THERE WERE THE
ANNUAL FEAST DAY SABBATHS - ONE
00:16:48.60\00:16:52.71
CAME WEEKLY, THE OTHERS
WERE WRITTEN ON PAPER - THE TEN
00:16:52.74\00:16:56.14
COMMANDMENTS WAS
WRITTEN ON STONE.
00:16:56.18\00:16:58.18
ONE WAS PART OF WORSHIP FOR
EVERYBODY, THE OTHERS ORIGINATED
00:16:58.21\00:17:01.75
AFTER THE EXODUS AND
THEY ENDED AT THE CROSS.
00:17:01.78\00:17:04.55
THEY WERE SHADOWS TO
HELP US RECOGNIZE JESUS.
00:17:04.59\00:17:07.82
AND SO PEOPLE WILL POINT TO THAT
AND THEY'LL SAY, 'SEE, WE DON'T
00:17:07.86\00:17:10.76
HAVE TO - DON'T LET ANYONE
JUDGE YOU ABOUT THE SABBATH.
00:17:10.79\00:17:12.76
YOU DON'T HAVE TO KEEP A
SABBATH.' THAT'S A VERY POOR
00:17:12.79\00:17:16.33
EXEGESIS OF THE BIBLE,
WHEN THEY USE IT THAT WAY.
00:17:16.36\00:17:18.50
BUT SOMEONE'S GOING
TO BRING THAT TO YOU.
00:17:18.53\00:17:20.57
SOMEONE ELSE IS GOING TO POINT
OUT ROMANS 14, WHERE IT SAYS,
00:17:20.60\00:17:23.77
'ONE MAN REGARDS ONE DAY ABOVE
ANOTHER; ANOTHER MAN REGARDS
00:17:23.81\00:17:26.04
EVERY DAY ALIKE. LET
EVERY MAN BE PERSUADED IN
00:17:26.07\00:17:28.41
HIS OWN MIND.' THE
WORD 'SABBATH' NEVER EVEN
00:17:28.44\00:17:30.85
APPEARS IN THE CHAPTER.
PAUL IS TALKING ABOUT THESE
00:17:30.88\00:17:33.35
ANNUAL FEASTS THAT THEY WERE
BEING TOLD THEY HAD TO KEEP.
00:17:33.38\00:17:36.15
PAUL SAYS, 'LOOK, IF YOU WANT
TO KEEP THE DAY, KEEP IT TO THE
00:17:36.18\00:17:38.15
LORD.' PEOPLE COME TO ME
AND THEY SAY, 'ARE CHRISTIANS
00:17:38.19\00:17:41.16
REQUIRED TO OBSERVE CHRISTMAS?'
I SAY, 'NO, THERE'S NO COMMAND.
00:17:41.19\00:17:45.79
IF YOU'RE GOING TO REMEMBER IT,
KEEP JESUS IN IT' - DO IT UNTO
00:17:45.83\00:17:49.23
THE LORD - 'IF YOU'RE NOT, THEN
YOU'RE NOT.' BUT NO, THERE'S NO
00:17:49.26\00:17:53.20
COMMAND - 'THOU SHALT REMEMBER
CHRISTMAS.' YOU ALL KNOW IT'S
00:17:53.23\00:17:56.27
PROBABLY NOT THE 25TH WHEN JESUS
WAS BORN, BUT THAT'S AS GOOD A
00:17:56.30\00:17:59.67
TIME AS ANY TO
REMEMBER HIS BIRTHDAY.
00:17:59.71\00:18:02.08
ASK ME A QUESTION ABOUT THAT.
SO YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR THESE
00:18:02.11\00:18:04.28
ARGUMENTS, BUT I PRAY
THAT YOU'LL HEAR IT OUT.
00:18:04.31\00:18:07.52
ASK ANY QUESTION YOU WANT,
WE'LL BE WILLING TO ANSWER THEM.
00:18:07.55\00:18:10.15
ALRIGHT, BACK TO OUR STUDY.
DID JESUS INTEND FOR HIS PEOPLE
00:18:10.19\00:18:15.59
TO KEEP THE SABBATH
AFTER HE DIED FOR THEIR SINS?
00:18:15.62\00:18:19.16
LISTEN TO THE PROPHECY NOW
THAT JESUS GIVES IN MATTHEW 24.
00:18:19.19\00:18:23.00
SPEAKING OF THE SECOND COMING HE
SAID - AND THE TIME OF TROUBLE
00:18:23.03\00:18:26.87
AT THE END - HE SAID, 'PRAY
THAT YOUR FLIGHT BE NOT IN THE
00:18:26.90\00:18:30.14
WINTER" - AND HE'S NOT TALKING
ABOUT CATCHING A PLANE OUT OF
00:18:30.17\00:18:32.14
DENVER - HE SAYS, 'PRAY
THAT YOUR FLIGHT BE NOT IN THE
00:18:32.17\00:18:35.64
WINTER' - HE'S TALKING ABOUT
FLEEING FOR YOUR LIVES BECAUSE
00:18:35.68\00:18:37.81
IT SAYS 'THOSE THAT BE IN JUDEA
FLEE INTO THE MOUNTAINS.' IN THE
00:18:37.85\00:18:41.12
LAST DAYS, WHEN THERE'S THIS
GREAT TRIBULATION, GOD'S PEOPLE
00:18:41.15\00:18:43.62
WILL AGAIN HAVE TO FLEE.
THOSE - HE SAID, 'PRAY YOUR
00:18:43.65\00:18:46.89
FLIGHT IS NOT IN THE WINTER OR
ON THE SABBATH DAY.' WHY WOULD
00:18:46.92\00:18:50.53
JESUS SAY THAT EXCEPT JESUS
EXPECTED HIS PEOPLE WOULD STILL
00:18:50.56\00:18:54.46
KNOW ABOUT THE
SABBATH IN THE LAST DAYS.
00:18:54.50\00:18:57.60
EVEN THOUGH THEY MAY HAVE
FORGOTTEN FOR A WHILE, BEFORE HE
00:18:57.63\00:19:00.64
COMES BACK THERE'S GOING TO BE
A GREAT REVIVAL AND GOD'S PEOPLE
00:19:00.67\00:19:03.37
ARE GOING TO COME BACK TOGETHER
ON THE BIBLE - BEFORE JESUS
00:19:03.41\00:19:06.27
COMES BACK. >>AMEN.
00:19:06.31\00:19:08.08
>>THIS TRUTH THAT I'M SHARING
WITH YOU, I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE.
00:19:08.11\00:19:11.05
IT'S GOING ALL OVER THE
WORLD AND I AM MEETING BAPTISTS,
00:19:11.08\00:19:14.45
PENTECOSTAL, METHODIST -
CHRISTIANS FROM ALL DIFFERENT
00:19:14.48\00:19:17.55
FAITHS THAT ARE TALKING TO THEIR
PEOPLE - MATTER OF FACT, RIGHT
00:19:17.59\00:19:20.46
UP THE STREET FROM OUR OFFICE IN
CALIFORNIA, A LARGE CHURCH WITH
00:19:20.49\00:19:22.86
SEVERAL THOUSAND PEOPLE, THEY
LEARNED THE TRUTH ON THIS AND
00:19:22.89\00:19:25.43
THEY'RE MEETING
TWO DAYS A WEEK NOW.
00:19:25.46\00:19:29.36
YOU PROBABLY KNOW SOME OTHER
EVANGELICAL CHURCHES THAT ARE
00:19:29.40\00:19:32.10
NOW HAVING SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY MEETINGS BECAUSE THEY'RE
00:19:32.13\00:19:35.47
LEARNING THESE THINGS. WE
NEED TO GET BACK TO WHAT THE
00:19:35.50\00:19:37.94
BIBLE SAYS, FRIENDS.
AND IT'S NOT JUST GOING TO
00:19:37.97\00:19:39.51
CHURCH, WE NEED TO LEARN
ABOUT KEEPING A DAY HOLY.
00:19:39.54\00:19:42.98
WHAT IT MEANS TO REST.
DOES THE BIBLE TEACH THAT GOD'S
00:19:43.01\00:19:46.88
END-TIME PEOPLE WOULD ALSO KEEP
HIS SEVENTH-DAY SABBATH HOLY?
00:19:46.92\00:19:51.92
LET'S SEE WHAT IT SAYS HERE
IN REVELATION - ANOTHER PROPHECY
00:19:51.95\00:19:54.69
SCRIPTURE - AND THE DRAGON -
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE,
00:19:54.72\00:19:57.53
WHO'S THE DRAGON? >>THE DEVIL.
00:19:57.56\00:19:59.43
>>'THE DEVIL WAS WROTH'
- WE'RE USING KING JAMES.
00:19:59.46\00:20:02.06
THAT'S OLD ENGLISH. THAT MEANS
'INFURIATED' WITH THE WOMAN.
00:20:02.10\00:20:05.77
WHICH WOMAN IS
THE DRAGON WROTH WITH?
00:20:05.80\00:20:07.60
>>THE CHURCH.
>>CHURCH, GOOD CHURCH OR BAD
00:20:07.64\00:20:08.90
CHURCH? >>GOOD CHURCH.
00:20:08.94\00:20:10.34
>>THE FACT THAT THE DEVIL'S
MAD AT HER MEANS SHE'S THE GOOD
00:20:10.37\00:20:12.11
CHURCH, RIGHT? 'AND
HE WENT TO MAKE WAR WITH
00:20:12.14\00:20:15.71
THE REMAINDER - OR THE REMNANT
- OF HER SEED THAT' - DO WHAT?
00:20:15.74\00:20:19.88
- 'KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD
AND THEY HAVE THE TESTIMONY OF
00:20:19.91\00:20:24.29
JESUS.' NOW DOES THAT MEAN
KEEP SOME OF THE COMMANDMENTS?
00:20:24.32\00:20:29.22
EVERYBODY - YOU'LL HEAR MY
TESTIMONY TOMORROW MORNING.
00:20:29.26\00:20:32.23
I'VE BEEN IN JAIL SEVERAL TIMES
AND EVERYBODY I EVER MET IN JAIL
00:20:32.26\00:20:35.46
KEEPS SOME OF THE
COMMANDMENTS SOME OF THE TIME.
00:20:35.50\00:20:37.20
(LAUGHTER) IS THAT
WHAT GOD'S LOOKING FOR?
00:20:37.23\00:20:40.44
I MEAN, AT LEAST WHEN WE SLEEP.
THE BIBLE SAYS, 'WHOSOEVER SHALL
00:20:40.47\00:20:45.17
BREAK ONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE
COMMANDMENTS HAS BROKEN THEM
00:20:45.21\00:20:48.91
ALL' - THAT'S JAMES - AND SO YOU
CAN'T STAND BEFORE THE JUDGE AND
00:20:48.94\00:20:53.55
SAY, 'WELL, YOU KNOW, I PAY MY
TAXES ON TIME AND I DON'T SPEED.
00:20:53.58\00:20:58.82
I REALIZE I MURDERED SOMEBODY -
THAT'S ONLY - BUT I'M GIVING YOU
00:20:58.85\00:21:01.29
90 PERCENT OBEDIENCE, JUDGE.'
HE'S NOT GOING TO CARE ABOUT
00:21:01.32\00:21:03.99
THAT. REVELATION
14 - ANOTHER VERSE,
00:21:04.03\00:21:08.06
SIMILAR - 'HERE IS THE PATIENCE
OF THE SAINTS; HERE ARE THOSE
00:21:08.10\00:21:11.17
THAT KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF
GOD.' NOW THAT'S CONTRASTED WITH
00:21:11.20\00:21:15.04
THOSE WHO WORSHIP THE BEAST
AND HIS IMAGE - SAME CHAPTER -
00:21:15.07\00:21:18.07
PEOPLE LIKE DANIEL.
REVELATION 22 - LAST CHAPTER IN
00:21:18.11\00:21:21.78
YOUR BIBLE -
'BLESSED' - IS THAT GOOD OR BAD?
00:21:21.81\00:21:24.71
BLESSED? >>THAT'S GOOD.
00:21:24.75\00:21:25.88
>>BLESSED ARE THOSE THAT DO
HIS COMMANDMENTS THAT THEY MIGHT
00:21:25.91\00:21:29.72
HAVE A RIGHT TO THE TREE OF LIFE
AND ENTER THROUGH THE GATES OF
00:21:29.75\00:21:32.95
THE CITY. YOU'RE
GOING TO TELL ME THIS
00:21:32.99\00:21:34.42
ISN'T IMPORTANT TO JESUS? IT IS.
00:21:34.46\00:21:37.76
THE CHURCH HAS LARGELY FORGOTTEN
THE ONE COMMANDMENT THAT HE SAID
00:21:37.79\00:21:41.30
'REMEMBER.' THE DEVIL
WANTS US TO FORGET OUR
00:21:41.33\00:21:44.20
TIME WITH GOD, SO WE
BECOME SO PREOCCUPIED.
00:21:44.23\00:21:47.17
JESUS SAID BEFORE HE COMES
BACK, 'BEWARE, BEWARE, LEST YOUR
00:21:47.20\00:21:51.51
HEARTS BE OVERCHARGED WITH THE
CARES OF THIS LIFE.' NEXT THING
00:21:51.54\00:21:55.44
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE ON SOCIAL
SECURITY, YOUR LIFE IS OVER, AND
00:21:55.48\00:22:00.52
YOU DIDN'T SERVE
GOD. NOW IS THE TIME.
00:22:00.55\00:22:04.35
DOES GOD ALLOW ANYONE
TO CHANGE HIS HOLY DAY?
00:22:04.39\00:22:08.82
DOES MAN SAY, 'I'M
GOING TO MAKE A DAY HOLY'?
00:22:08.86\00:22:10.89
CAN - DO WE HAVE
THE POWER TO DO THAT?
00:22:10.93\00:22:12.79
PROVERBS 30, VERSES 5 AND 6,
"EVERY WORD OF GOD IS PURE...ADD
00:22:12.83\00:22:19.57
THOU NOT UNTO HIS WORDS, LEST HE
REPROVE THEE, AND THOU BE FOUND
00:22:19.60\00:22:25.11
A LIAR." WHAT IS ONE OF THE
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE BEAST
00:22:25.14\00:22:29.78
POWER THAT YOU FIND IN
DANIEL CHAPTER 7, VERSE 25?
00:22:29.81\00:22:33.98
'HE WILL THINK TO
CHANGES TIMES AND LAWS.'
00:22:34.02\00:22:38.49
DO YOU REMEMBER READING THAT?
SPEAKING OF THE BEAST POWER -
00:22:38.52\00:22:40.96
IT'S VERY CLEAR IN THAT CHAPTER.
CAN YOU NAME ONE OF THE TEN
00:22:40.99\00:22:43.99
COMMANDMENTS THAT IS
NOT ONLY A LAW BUT A TIME?
00:22:44.03\00:22:47.23
THERE'S ONLY ONE. IT
IS THE LONGEST OF THE TEN
00:22:47.23\00:22:49.86
COMMANDMENTS. IT IS
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LAW.
00:22:49.90\00:22:52.70
IT'S THE ONLY COMMANDMENT THAT
BEGINS WITH THE WORD 'REMEMBER.'
00:22:52.73\00:22:56.34
HEBREWS CHAPTER 4, VERSE 9,
"THERE REMAINS THEREFORE A REST
00:22:56.37\00:23:01.81
FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD." DO
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT WORD IS?
00:23:01.84\00:23:03.55
THIS IS NEW TESTAMENT - THAT
WORD 'REST' IS THERE REMAINS
00:23:03.58\00:23:05.81
THEREFORE A SABBATH - SABATISMOS
- FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD EVEN IN
00:23:05.85\00:23:09.98
THE NEW TESTAMENT. WHAT
DAY IS THE LORD'S DAY OF
00:23:10.02\00:23:13.09
REVELATION 1, VERSE 10?
PEOPLE SAY, 'WELL THAT'S THE
00:23:13.12\00:23:15.82
SABBATH, BUT WE REMEMBER THE
LORD'S DAY.' WELL, WHAT IS THE
00:23:15.86\00:23:18.13
LORD'S DAY? YOU CAN
READ IN EXODUS 20, IT
00:23:18.16\00:23:22.56
SAYS, "BUT THE SEVENTH DAY
IS THE SABBATH OF THE LORD THY
00:23:22.60\00:23:26.23
GOD"' YOU CAN
ALSO READ IN ISAIAH
00:23:26.27\00:23:28.74
58, VERSE 13, "IF YOU TURN AWAY
YOUR FOOT FROM THE SABBATH, FROM
00:23:28.77\00:23:33.91
DOING THY
PLEASURE ON MY HOLY DAY."
00:23:33.94\00:23:38.48
GOD SAYS THE
SABBATH IS HIS HOLY DAY.
00:23:38.51\00:23:40.88
AND THEN, AGAIN, MARK CHAPTER
2, WE'VE READ THIS ALREADY,
00:23:40.92\00:23:44.45
"THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN
IS LORD ALSO OF THE SABBATH."
00:23:44.49\00:23:47.39
WHEN JOHN WROTE THE VISION OF
REVELATION - IT SAYS - HE SAID,
00:23:47.42\00:23:50.39
'I WAS IN THE SPIRIT ON THE
LORD'S DAY.' A LOT OF PASTORS
00:23:50.43\00:23:53.63
HAVE JUST KIND OF TAKEN LIBERTY
AND SAID, 'THAT WAS ON SUNDAY.
00:23:53.66\00:23:56.60
HE WAS
WORSHIPING GOD ON SUNDAY.'
00:23:56.63\00:23:57.87
NOTHING IN THE TEXT OR IN
HISTORY SAYS IT WAS SUNDAY.
00:23:57.90\00:24:01.34
THE BIBLE SAYS WHAT
DAY IS THE LORD'S DAY.
00:24:01.37\00:24:04.21
IF ANYTHING, YOU KNOW, THEY
WORKED THEM IN THE MINES ON THE
00:24:04.24\00:24:06.78
ISLE OF PATMOS
WHERE HE WAS A PRISONER.
00:24:06.81\00:24:08.78
THEY GAVE HIM THAT DAY OFF
AND GOD GAVE HIM THE VISION.
00:24:08.81\00:24:14.12
FROM COVER TO COVER IN THE BIBLE
WE CAN SEE THAT THE DEVIL IS
00:24:14.15\00:24:17.99
TRYING TO DO ALL HE CAN TO KEEP
US SO PREOCCUPIED WITH WORK AND
00:24:18.02\00:24:22.02
WORRY AND STRESS AND
CARES THAT WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT
00:24:22.06\00:24:26.59
MEANS TO REALLY REST IN JESUS.
AND RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS
00:24:26.63\00:24:29.83
LAW GOD SAID, 'I WANT TO
PRESERVE A TIME FOR US TO
00:24:29.86\00:24:33.00
DEVELOP A RELATIONSHIP.' AFTER
HE MAKES THE WORLD IN SIX DAYS,
00:24:33.03\00:24:36.40
GOD SAYS, 'I'M NOT DONE.
I'M MAKING ONE MORE DAY FOR
00:24:36.44\00:24:39.91
QUALITY TIME WITH
YOU BECAUSE I LOVE YOU.
00:24:39.94\00:24:42.28
I WANT TO WALK WITH
YOU AND TALK WITH YOU.
00:24:42.31\00:24:44.41
I WANT TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP
WITH YOU.' WHAT SHOULD WE LOVE
00:24:44.45\00:24:47.98
MORE, THE
CREATION OR THE CREATOR?
00:24:48.02\00:24:50.32
>>CREATOR. >>HE WANTS TO HAVE A
00:24:50.35\00:24:52.92
RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU BUT WE GET
TOO BUSY WITH THE HORIZONTAL -
00:24:52.95\00:24:55.89
THE WORRIES - AND WE
FORGET ABOUT OUR TIME WITH GOD.
00:24:55.92\00:24:59.79
WHAT PROFIT IS IT IF YOU GAIN
THE WHOLE WORLD AND LOSE YOUR
00:24:59.83\00:25:01.70
SOUL? IF YOU DON'T
HAVE GOD, YOU DON'T
00:25:01.73\00:25:03.00
HAVE ANYTHING. IF
YOU'VE GOT GOD, YOU'VE GOT
00:25:03.03\00:25:05.57
EVERYTHING. >>AMEN.
00:25:05.60\00:25:07.70
>>IF YOU'VE GOT JESUS, YOU'VE
GOT THE WHOLE WORLD, FRIENDS.
00:25:07.74\00:25:10.31
AND CHRIST SAID WHAT? HE
SAID, 'IF YOU LOVE ME, KEEP
00:25:10.34\00:25:14.31
MY COMMANDMENTS.'
00:25:14.34\00:25:19.78
>>ONE OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
CLEARLY SAYS, 'REMEMBER THE
00:25:19.81\00:25:22.62
SABBATH DAY TO KEEP IT
HOLY...THE SEVENTH DAY IS THE
00:25:22.65\00:25:25.52
SABBATH OF THE LORD.' AND YET,
MILLIONS OF SINCERE CHRISTIANS
00:25:25.55\00:25:28.96
AROUND THE WORLD CELEBRATE THE
FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK, SUNDAY,
00:25:28.99\00:25:32.06
IN HONOR OF THE
RESURRECTION. IS THIS BIBLICAL?
