THE LAST DAY OF PROPHECY.
AND OUR PRESENTATION TONIGHT IS
00:01:00.19\00:01:05.89
DEALING WITH THE LOST DAY
OF HISTORY. WELL, I'VE GOT
00:01:05.89\00:01:09.66
AN AMAZING FACT - I ALWAYS
LIKE TO START EVERY PROGRAM WITH
00:01:09.66\00:01:11.83
A LITTLE AMAZING FACT -
AND OUR AMAZING FACT TONIGHT IS
00:01:11.83\00:01:15.27
ABOUT SOMEONE WHO RAN FOR
PRESIDENT - OR HE ACTUALLY WAS
00:01:15.27\00:01:19.31
A PRESIDENT THAT YOU
PROBABLY NEVER HEARD OF.
00:01:19.31\00:01:21.44
HIS NAME WAS
DAVID RICE ATCHISON.
00:01:21.44\00:01:24.61
YOU EVER HEARD OF
HIM? WELL LET ME TELL YOU
00:01:24.61\00:01:27.92
HOW THIS HAPPENED.
JAMES POLK, IN 1849, CONCLUDED
00:01:27.92\00:01:33.12
HIS TERM AS PRESIDENT.
HE FINISHED ON SATURDAY.
00:01:33.12\00:01:38.49
ZACHARY TAYLOR WAS
SUPPOSED TO TAKE OVER ON SUNDAY.
00:01:38.49\00:01:42.40
TAYLOR DID NOT WANT TO BE
INAUGURATED ON SUNDAY BECAUSE OF
00:01:42.40\00:01:44.90
HIS RELIGIOUS BELIEFS, BUT
AMERICA CANNOT BE WITHOUT A
00:01:44.90\00:01:48.74
PRESIDENT. SO
WHAT HAPPENED IS THE
00:01:48.74\00:01:51.01
PRESIDENT PRO TEM OF THE SENATE,
WHO WAS DAVID RICE ATCHISON, WAS
00:01:51.01\00:01:55.34
THE NEXT IN LINE TO
FILL IN AS PRESIDENT.
00:01:55.34\00:01:58.45
BUT HE HAD WORKED SO HARD IN
PREPARING FOR THE FINAL BILLS
00:01:58.45\00:02:03.95
THEY HAD TO GET THROUGH CONGRESS
AND WRAPPING THINGS UP FROM THE
00:02:03.95\00:02:06.25
POLK ADMINISTRATION, THAT HE
WAS SO EXHAUSTED SATURDAY NIGHT,
00:02:06.25\00:02:10.53
WHEN HE FINALLY FELL ASLEEP,
HE SLEPT FOR 20 HOURS - SLEEPING
00:02:10.53\00:02:16.80
THROUGH HIS ENTIRE PRESIDENCY
AND SNORING MUCH OF THE TIME.
00:02:16.80\00:02:20.77
IT'S A TRUE STORY. CAN
YOU IMAGINE BEING PRESIDENT
00:02:20.77\00:02:25.21
FOR ONE DAY AND MISSING IT?
00:02:25.21\00:02:26.64
(LAUGHTER) WOULDN'T THAT BE SAD?
00:02:26.64\00:02:30.11
HE BOASTED THE REST OF HIS LIFE
- HE SAID, 'I WANT YOU FOLKS TO
00:02:30.11\00:02:32.11
KNOW I HAD THE MOST HONEST AND
ECONOMICAL ADMINISTRATION OF ANY
00:02:32.11\00:02:36.08
PRESIDENT.' PRESIDENT FOR A
DAY. HE WAS SO TIRED, HE SLEPT.
00:02:36.08\00:02:44.26
WELL WE'RE GOING TO BE DEALING
WITH SOME QUESTIONS IN OUR STUDY
00:02:44.26\00:02:47.13
TONIGHT AND FIRST I WANT YOU
TO BE THINKING ABOUT SOMETHING
00:02:47.13\00:02:51.70
THAT'S CONNECTED WITH
WHAT WE DISCUSSED LAST NIGHT.
00:02:51.70\00:02:54.44
WE TALKED ABOUT THE CYCLES OF
PROPHECY AND HERE'S QUESTION #1
00:02:54.44\00:02:59.41
IN OUR PRESENTATION.
FROM WHERE DO WE GET
00:02:59.41\00:03:02.54
A SEVEN-DAY WEEK? IT
TALKED ABOUT THE CYCLES OF
00:03:02.54\00:03:05.55
PROPHECY AND WE SHOWED YOU
ALL THE CYCLES THROUGH GENESIS
00:03:05.55\00:03:08.12
ALL THE WAY TO REVELATION.
YOU KNOW WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS?
00:03:08.12\00:03:13.29
SECOND CHAPTER - GENESIS CHAPTER
2 - YOU CAN READ THE FIRST FEW
00:03:13.29\00:03:17.03
VERSES. IT SAYS,
"THUS THE HEAVENS AND
00:03:17.03\00:03:19.16
THE EARTH, AND ALL THE
HOST OF THEM, WERE FINISHED.
00:03:19.16\00:03:22.96
AND ON THE SEVENTH DAY GOD ENDED
HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD DONE, AND
00:03:22.96\00:03:27.80
HE RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY"
- BECAUSE IN IT GOD HAD - HE
00:03:27.80\00:03:32.37
BLESSED THE SEVENTH DAY AND HE
SANCTIFIED IT BECAUSE IN IT HE
00:03:32.37\00:03:34.68
RESTED FROM ALL THE WORK THAT
GOD CREATED AND THAT HE MADE.
00:03:34.68\00:03:38.95
SO RIGHT THERE IN THE BEGINNING
OF THE BIBLE - GOD CREATES THE
00:03:38.95\00:03:43.28
WORLD IN SIX DAYS, BUT HOW
MANY DAYS DO WE HAVE IN A WEEK?
00:03:43.28\00:03:46.45
>>SEVEN. >>WE HAVE
SEVEN DAYS IN A WEEK.
00:03:46.45\00:03:48.29
GOD MADE AN EXTRA DAY FOR
A PURPOSE OF WORSHIP AND IT'S
00:03:48.29\00:03:54.56
INTERESTING, NO MATTER WHERE
YOU GO IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW,
00:03:54.56\00:03:56.90
YOU'LL FIND THAT
THEY'VE GOT A SEVEN-DAY WEEK.
00:03:56.90\00:03:59.10
NOW EVEN IN SPACE, YOU CAN
UNDERSTAND WHY WE HAVE A YEAR,
00:03:59.10\00:04:05.14
WITH ABOUT 364 4 DAYS, BECAUSE
THAT'S HOW LONG IT TAKES THE
00:04:05.14\00:04:10.51
EARTH TO MAKE A
CIRCUIT AROUND THE SUN, RIGHT?
00:04:10.51\00:04:14.02
ALL OF THE EMPIRES OF THE WORLD
HAD A YEAR WITH ABOUT THE SAME
00:04:14.02\00:04:17.49
AMOUNT OF TIME, BECAUSE THEY
COULD LOOK UP IN THE SKY AND SEE
00:04:17.49\00:04:20.06
THIS PATTERN. AND
VIRTUALLY ALL OF THE ANCIENT
00:04:20.06\00:04:23.16
CALENDARS HAD A MONTH - THEY HAD
SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 27 AND 30 DAYS
00:04:23.16\00:04:28.06
BECAUSE OF THE LUNAR
CYCLE - THAT'S WHERE YOU GET THE
00:04:28.06\00:04:30.00
WORD 'MONTH' IT'S FROM MOON.
AND OUR DAY HAS 24 HOURS BECAUSE
00:04:30.00\00:04:33.80
IT TAKES THE EARTH 24
HOURS TO ROTATE ON ITS AXIS.
00:04:33.80\00:04:38.34
NOW HERE'S YOUR QUESTION: ALL
OF THE WORLD TODAY CELEBRATES A
00:04:38.34\00:04:40.78
7-DAY WEEK, AND IT DIDN'T JUST
BEGIN WITH THE JEWISH PEOPLE.
00:04:40.78\00:04:46.35
WHERE DO WE GET
A 7-DAY WEEK FROM?
00:04:46.35\00:04:49.25
MATHEMATICAL - THERE'S NOTHING
IN THE SUN, MOON, OR STARS THAT
00:04:49.25\00:04:52.62
GIVES YOU A 7-DAY WEEK.
ONLY THING THAT THE WORLD THAT
00:04:52.62\00:04:55.36
CAN TRACE IT TO IS 'IN
THE BEGINNING, GOD CREATED THE
00:04:55.36\00:04:58.19
HEAVENS AND THE
EARTH.' AND YET, IT CARRIES ON.
00:04:58.19\00:05:02.70
I WORKED WITH THE NATIVE
AMERICANS FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND A
00:05:02.70\00:05:05.40
HALF AND I REMEMBER SOME OF
MY SIOUX AND NAVAJO FRIENDS SAY,
00:05:05.40\00:05:09.17
'LONG BEFORE THE BELAGONNA CAME'
- THE WHITE MAN - THEY SAID, 'WE
00:05:09.17\00:05:12.64
HAD A 7-DAY WEEK.' I
THOUGHT THAT WAS SO FASCINATING.
00:05:12.64\00:05:15.51
WHERE DO THEY GET IT?
ONLY PLACE YOU CAN TRACE IT
00:05:15.51\00:05:18.08
IS BACK TO THE BEGINNING.
QUESTION #2: DID GOD MAKE
00:05:18.08\00:05:22.62
THE SABBATH REST
ONLY FOR ISRAELITES?
00:05:22.62\00:05:25.42
>>NO. >>NO.
00:05:25.42\00:05:27.86
THERE'S A NUMBER OF
SCRIPTURES THAT BEAR THIS OUT.
00:05:27.86\00:05:29.96
FOR INSTANCE, YOU CAN READ WHERE
JESUS SAYS IN MARK CHAPTER 2,
00:05:29.96\00:05:34.60
"THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR" -
00:05:34.60\00:05:36.33
>>MAN. >>"MAN".
NOW HOW DO YOU SPELL
00:05:36.33\00:05:39.33
'JEW'? M-A-N?
00:05:39.33\00:05:40.74
(LAUGHTER) NO,
MAN MEANS MANKIND.
00:05:40.74\00:05:44.71
AND HE WENT ON TO SAY,
"NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH."
00:05:44.71\00:05:46.41
MEANING MAN WAS MADE FIRST
AND THE SABBATH WAS MADE TO BE A
00:05:46.41\00:05:49.94
BLESSING FOR MAN. AND
THEN YOU CAN READ AGAIN
00:05:49.94\00:05:52.68
WHERE IT - BY THE WAY, YOU KNOW,
I SHOULD PROBABLY PAUSE HERE
00:05:52.68\00:05:58.12
AND MENTION - WHY
DID GOD MAKE ANOTHER DAY?
00:05:58.12\00:06:02.09
HE MADE EVERYTHING IN SIX
DAYS, BUT WE HAVE A 7-DAY WEEK.
00:06:02.09\00:06:05.23
WHY DON'T WE
HAVE A SIX-DAY WEEK?
00:06:05.23\00:06:07.23
BECAUSE TIME IS THE
STUFF THAT LIFE IS MADE OF.
00:06:07.23\00:06:12.27
IT'S NOT IN THE BIBLE, THAT'S
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, BUT IT'S
00:06:12.27\00:06:14.07
TRUE. YOU CANNOT
LOVE WITHOUT TIME.
00:06:14.07\00:06:18.81
ALL LOVE
RELATIONSHIPS NEED TIME.
00:06:18.81\00:06:22.61
IF PEOPLE ARE NOT SPENDING
TIME TOGETHER, THE RELATIONSHIP
00:06:22.61\00:06:25.65
SUFFERS. ARE YOU ALL STILL
00:06:25.65\00:06:27.02
WITH ME ON THAT? >>AMEN.
00:06:27.02\00:06:28.82
>>SO AFTER GOD MAKES MAN, THEN
HE MAKES ANOTHER DAY FOR WHAT
00:06:28.82\00:06:32.62
YOU CALL 'QUALITY TIME'.
AND MY DEAR WIFE SITTING DOWN
00:06:32.62\00:06:35.89
FRONT HERE WILL TESTIFY THAT
QUALITY TIME IS DIFFERENT FROM
00:06:35.89\00:06:39.73
TIME BEING IN THE SAME BUILDING.
(LAUGHTER) SOMETIMES SHE'LL SAY,
00:06:39.73\00:06:43.37
'DOUG, WE'RE NOT SPENDING
ANY TIME TOGETHER.' AND I'LL
00:06:43.37\00:06:45.33
SAY, 'BUT I WAS
HOME ALL DAY YESTERDAY!'
00:06:45.33\00:06:46.87
SHE'D SAY, 'YOU
WERE IN THE OFFICE!'
00:06:46.87\00:06:48.77
I SAID, 'I WAS HERE.' SHE SAID,
'THAT'S NOT THE SAME THING.
00:06:48.77\00:06:51.74
WE NEED TO SPEND TIME TOGETHER.'
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS, RIGHT?
00:06:51.74\00:06:55.81
COMMUNICATING. YOU CAN'T
LOVE WITHOUT KNOWING SOMEBODY.
00:06:55.81\00:06:59.81
YOU CAN'T KNOW SOMEBODY WITHOUT
TALKING TO THEM AND THEM TALKING
00:06:59.81\00:07:02.58
TO YOU, HAVING EXPERIENCES
TOGETHER - TIME TOGETHER.
00:07:02.58\00:07:06.59
YOU CAN'T SERVE GOD
IF YOU DON'T LOVE HIM.
00:07:06.59\00:07:09.76
YOU WON'T LOVE HIM UNLESS YOU
HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.
00:07:09.76\00:07:12.36
THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THAT
SEVENTH DAY IS ABOUT A LOVE
00:07:12.36\00:07:16.06
RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD
AND RESTING IN THE LORD.
00:07:16.06\00:07:20.27
AND YET, THIS IS WHAT YOU WOULD
CALL THE GORILLA IN THE ROOM FOR
00:07:20.27\00:07:24.01
CHRISTIANITY. IT IS
SOMETHING THAT IS BEING
00:07:24.01\00:07:26.61
LOST AND PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING
BECAUSE OF IT AND THEY'RE JUST
00:07:26.61\00:07:29.74
WORKING THEMSELVES TO DEATH.
IT'S CALLED THE SABBATH TRUTH.
00:07:29.74\00:07:32.75
IS THE SABBATH
JUST FOR JEWS? NO.
00:07:32.75\00:07:35.85
YOU CAN READ IN ISAIAH CHAPTER
56, IT SAYS, 'AND ALSO THE SONS
00:07:35.85\00:07:39.19
OF THE STRANGER THAT JOIN
THEMSELVES TO THE LORD TO SERVE
00:07:39.19\00:07:43.19
HIM AND TO LOVE THE NAME OF THE
LORD, THEM ALSO I WILL - TO BE
00:07:43.19\00:07:48.56
HIS SERVANTS - EVERYONE THAT
KEEPS THE SABBATH FROM POLLUTING
00:07:48.56\00:07:51.60
IT' - HE'S TALKING ABOUT
THE SONS OF THE STRANGER.
00:07:51.60\00:07:53.77
THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT
JEWS, THAT JOINED TO THE LORD,
00:07:53.77\00:07:58.27
THAT KEEP THE SABBATH, TAKE HOLD
OF MY COVENANT, IT SAYS, 'EVEN
00:07:58.27\00:08:03.51
THEM I WILL BRING TO MY HOLY
MOUNTAIN AND MAKE THEM JOYFUL IN
00:08:03.51\00:08:07.12
MY HOUSE OF PRAYER. FOR
MY HOUSE SHALL BE CALLED
00:08:07.12\00:08:09.75
A HOUSE OF PRAYER FOR
ALL NATIONS.' FOR ONE NATION?
00:08:09.75\00:08:14.39
>>ALL. >>I
REMEMBER WHEN JESUS DROVE
00:08:14.39\00:08:15.72
THE MONEY CHANGERS OUT
OF THE TEMPLE, HE QUOTED
00:08:15.72\00:08:17.49
FROM THIS VERSE.
IT'S FOR EVERYBODY.
00:08:17.49\00:08:20.06
THAT'S WHY IT EVEN SAYS IN
THE COMMANDMENT THAT EVERYBODY'S
00:08:20.06\00:08:22.46
SUPPOSED TO REST. IT
SAYS, 'I'LL BRING THEM
00:08:22.46\00:08:24.77
TO THIS HOLY
MOUNTAIN. DOES THIS WORLD
00:08:24.77\00:08:26.57
NEED SOME REST NOW? >>YES.
00:08:26.57\00:08:29.67
>>YOU KNOW, STRESS IS CONSIDERED
ONE OF THE MOST DEADLY THINGS
00:08:29.67\00:08:32.17
THAT IS HAPPENING TO OUR
SOCIETY. I JUST HAD A FEW
00:08:32.17\00:08:35.54
STATISTICS HERE I THOUGHT
I'D SHARE WITH YOU. 43% OF ALL
00:08:35.54\00:08:38.95
ADULTS - THAT'D BE EVEN IN THIS
ROOM - SUFFER ADVERSE HEALTH
00:08:38.95\00:08:44.35
EFFECTS FROM STRESS. AT
LEAST 75% OF ALL PHYSICIAN
00:08:44.35\00:08:49.02
OFFICE VISITS ARE ATTRIBUTED
TO STRESS-RELATED AILMENTS,
00:08:49.02\00:08:52.96
ACCORDING TO THE AMERICAN
PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION.
00:08:52.96\00:08:55.70
STRESS IS LINKED TO THE SIX
LEADING CAUSES OF DEATH IN THE
00:08:55.70\00:08:59.80
UNITED STATES, NAMELY HEART
DISEASE, CANCER, LUNG AILMENTS,
00:08:59.80\00:09:04.34
ACCIDENTS, CIRRHOSIS
OF THE LIVER, AND SUICIDE.
00:09:04.34\00:09:09.28
AND YOU KNOW ONE OF THE NUMBER
ONE SELLING MEDICATIONS ARE
00:09:09.28\00:09:12.15
DEALING WITH STRESS AND
DIGESTION - ACID - INDIGESTION
00:09:12.15\00:09:18.55
AND ALL OF THIS IS
OFTEN STRESS RELATED.
00:09:18.55\00:09:21.16
AND MAYBE WE
FORGOT HOW TO RELAX.
00:09:21.16\00:09:25.29
YOU KNOW, I HEARD ONE TIME ABOUT
THESE TWO COUNTRY TOWNS DECIDED
00:09:25.29\00:09:30.03
TO HAVE A COMPETITION.
THEY EACH PICKED THE STRONGEST
00:09:30.03\00:09:32.37
MAN AND THEY HAD A
WOOD-CUTTING COMPETITION.
00:09:32.37\00:09:34.97
WHICHEVER MAN FROM SUNUP TO
SUNDOWN COULD CUT THE MOST WOOD
00:09:34.97\00:09:38.27
THAT TOWN WAS
GOING TO WIN THIS BET.
00:09:38.27\00:09:40.31
I DON'T KNOW WHAT BROUGHT IT ALL
ON, BUT ANYWAYS, SO THEY WENT
00:09:40.31\00:09:42.31
OUT TO A PIECE IN THE WOODS AND
EACH MAN SECTIONED OFF A PIECE
00:09:42.31\00:09:45.91
OF WOODS AND THEY STARTED EARLY
IN THE MORNING, THEY BLEW THE
00:09:45.91\00:09:48.82
WHISTLE, AND THEY BEGAN
TO CHOP TREES AND CUT WOOD.
00:09:48.82\00:09:51.49
AND THIS IS BACK
BEFORE THEY HAD CHAINSAWS.
00:09:51.49\00:09:55.79
AND ONE MAN WAS
WORKING FURIOUSLY ALL DAY LONG.
00:09:55.79\00:09:58.03
HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE
FULL OF ENERGY AND VERY STRONG.
00:09:58.03\00:10:00.33
AND HE WAS IRRITATED BECAUSE HE
SAW HIS CHALLENGER SITTING DOWN
00:10:00.33\00:10:04.77
SEVERAL TIMES, EATING LUNCH,
DRINKING WATER - BECAUSE AT THE
00:10:04.77\00:10:08.50
END OF THE DAY HE THOUGHT FOR
SURE HE'D BE WAY AHEAD - AND HIS
00:10:08.50\00:10:11.71
CHALLENGER WON!
HE SAID, 'HOW IN THE
00:10:11.71\00:10:14.04
WORLD COULD YOU WIN?'
HE SAID, 'I WORKED STRAIGHT
00:10:14.04\00:10:15.74
THROUGH ALL DAY LONG WITHOUT
TAKING A BREAK.' AND HE SAID,
00:10:15.74\00:10:18.01
'YOU KEPT SITTING DOWN. HOW?'
HE SAID, 'WELL YOU THOUGHT I WAS
00:10:18.01\00:10:20.55
JUST SITTING DOWN.' HE SAID,
'EVERY TIME I SAT DOWN AND TOOK
00:10:20.55\00:10:22.38
A DRINK' HE SAID, 'I SHARPENED
MY AX.' (LAUGHTER) YOU KNOW
00:10:22.38\00:10:27.06
THERE'S A
SCRIPTURE THAT SAYS THAT?
00:10:27.06\00:10:30.16
'IF THE AX IS DULL IT CAUSES
MORE WORK.' AND GOD DESIGNED -
00:10:30.16\00:10:34.46
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE A LOT SHARPER
AFTER REST AND YOU CAN GET MORE
00:10:34.46\00:10:36.70
DONE WHEN YOU'RE RESTED.
AND IT'S DESTROYING FAMILIES.
00:10:36.70\00:10:42.74
IT'S DESTROYING HEALTH
AND RELATIONSHIPS - STRESS.
00:10:42.74\00:10:47.51
THAT'S PART OF THE
REASON FOR THE SABBATH TRUTH.
00:10:47.51\00:10:49.48
QUESTION #3: HOW HAS GOD HONORED
THIS LOST DAY OF HISTORY?
00:10:49.48\00:10:54.48
BY THE WAY, IF YOU HAVEN'T
FIGURED IT OUT YET, WHEN WE TALK
00:10:54.48\00:10:56.58
ABOUT THE LAST DAY OF PROPHECY,
THE LAST DAY OF PROPHECY IS
00:10:56.58\00:11:00.89
CONNECTED WITH
THE SABBATH TRUTH.
00:11:00.89\00:11:02.79
WE SHOWED YOU THE MILLENNIAL
SABBATH LAST NIGHT AND HOW THIS
00:11:02.79\00:11:07.30
ALL TIES IN. YOU
STAY WITH US, FRIENDS,
00:11:07.30\00:11:09.56
YOU'RE GOING TO
HEAR SOME AMAZING THINGS.
00:11:09.56\00:11:11.13
I PROMISE YOU IT WILL ALL
BE FROM THE BIBLE AND IT WILL
00:11:11.13\00:11:13.37
CHANGE YOUR LIFE
IN A POSITIVE WAY.
00:11:13.37\00:11:15.94
SO HOW HAS GOD HONORED
THIS LOST DAY OF HISTORY?
00:11:15.94\00:11:18.51
ANSWER: HE SAYS - WE'LL READ
THIS RIGHT OUT OF THE BIBLE.
00:11:18.51\00:11:21.51
IF YOU GO IN YOUR BIBLES TO
THE BOOK OF EXODUS - I'VE BEEN
00:11:21.51\00:11:24.51
HOLDING MY BIBLE LIKE A PROP
AND I'VE NOT BEEN READING TO YOU
00:11:24.51\00:11:26.82
FROM IT BECAUSE I'VE GOT ALL
THE SCRIPTURES UP ON THE SCREEN.
00:11:26.82\00:11:29.42
EXODUS CHAPTER 20 IS WHERE
YOU FIND THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:11:29.42\00:11:32.79
YOU'LL ALSO FIND THEM IN
DEUTERONOMY CHAPTER 5 AND JESUS
00:11:32.79\00:11:35.39
QUOTES VARIOUS ONES AND PAUL, IN
THE NEW TESTAMENT - BUT IF YOU
00:11:35.39\00:11:39.86
LOOK AT VERSE 8 IT SAYS,
"REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY, TO
00:11:39.86\00:11:42.76
KEEP IT HOLY. SIX DAYS YOU SHALL
LABOR AND DO ALL YOUR WORK, BUT
00:11:42.76\00:11:46.94
THE SEVENTH DAY IS
THE SABBATH OF THE JEWS" -
00:11:46.94\00:11:49.30
>>NO. >>THE LORD THY GOD.
00:11:49.30\00:11:51.87
>>IT'S "THE SABBATH
OF THE LORD YOUR GOD.
00:11:51.87\00:11:54.94
IN IT YOU SHALL DO NO WORK: YOU,
NOR YOUR SON, NOR YOUR DAUGHTER,
00:11:54.94\00:11:59.75
NOR YOUR MALE SERVANT," -
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT COUNTRY
00:11:59.75\00:12:02.68
THEY'RE FROM OR WHAT NATION -
"...YOUR MALE SERVANT, NOR YOUR
00:12:02.68\00:12:05.45
FEMALE SERVANT, NOR YOUR
CATTLE," - GOD CARES EVEN ABOUT
00:12:05.45\00:12:09.96
THE CATTLE RESTING - "NOR
YOUR STRANGER WHO IS WITHIN YOUR
00:12:09.96\00:12:12.96
GATES." WHY?
00:12:12.96\00:12:15.06
"FOR IN SIX DAYS THE LORD MADE
THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH, THE
00:12:15.06\00:12:18.17
SEA, AND ALL THAT IS IN THEM,
AND RESTED THE SEVENTH DAY.
00:12:18.17\00:12:22.20
THEREFORE THE LORD BLESSED THE
SABBATH DAY AND HALLOWED IT."
00:12:22.20\00:12:24.94
YOU NOTICE HE STARTS OUT AND HE
SAYS, 'REMEMBER IT' - MEANING IT
00:12:24.94\00:12:28.61
EXISTED BEFORE - AND KEEP
IT - MEANING IT'S SOMETHING HE
00:12:28.61\00:12:32.98
ESTABLISHED AND HE
WANTS US TO KEEP IT.
00:12:32.98\00:12:35.65
IF YOU COME OVER TO MY HOUSE
AND IT'S WINTERTIME AND I SAY,
00:12:35.65\00:12:38.29
'LOOK, I'VE GOT TO RUN TO TOWN.
CAN YOU KEEP MY FIRE GOING?'
00:12:38.29\00:12:41.19
'SURE DOUG.' AND I'D TAKE OFF
- TOWN'S 20 MILES AWAY - AND YOU
00:12:41.19\00:12:45.89
GO TO CHECK THE STOVE AND
THERE'S NO COALS - THERE'S NO
00:12:45.89\00:12:49.43
FIRE IN THE STOVE. AND
YOU'RE THINKING, 'WHY DID
00:12:49.43\00:12:52.33
DOUG TELL ME TO
KEEP THE FIRE GOING?
00:12:52.33\00:12:54.24
THERE'S NO FIRE.' THE VERY
FACT I SAY 'KEEP THE FIRE GOING'
00:12:54.24\00:12:57.67
MEANS I'VE GOT THE FIRE GOING,
YOU JUST KEEP STOKING IT RIGHT?
00:12:57.67\00:13:00.91
SO WHEN GOD SAYS, 'KEEP THE
SABBATH DAY HOLY IT'S BECAUSE
00:13:00.91\00:13:03.31
BACK IN GENESIS HE SAYS, 'I
BLESSED IT AND I MADE IT HOLY.'
00:13:03.31\00:13:07.02
AND HE WANTS TO KEEP THAT
BECAUSE MAN HAS A TENDENCY TO
00:13:07.02\00:13:10.82
FORGET - YES, EVEN HIS OWN
PEOPLE IN THE OLD TESTAMENT AND
00:13:10.82\00:13:14.19
IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, FORGET AND
WHEN GOD TELLS US TO REMEMBER
00:13:14.19\00:13:18.19
IT'S BECAUSE HE
KNEW WE WOULD FORGET.
00:13:18.19\00:13:20.86
AND THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENED
TO OUR SOCIETY AGAIN TODAY.
00:13:20.86\00:13:24.07
ALRIGHT, LET'S GET
BACK ON HERE WITH THIS.
00:13:24.07\00:13:27.14
SO YOU HEARD ME
READ THAT TO YOU.
00:13:27.14\00:13:30.11
SO GOD DID SEVERAL THINGS: HE
RESTED ON THAT DAY, HE BLESSED
00:13:30.11\00:13:34.68
THE SABBATH DAY, AND HE
MADE IT HOLY - HE SANCTIFIED IT.
00:13:34.68\00:13:38.35
NOW THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT
TO REMEMBER BECAUSE WHAT HE DID
00:13:38.35\00:13:40.78
WITH THAT DAY, HE
WANTS TO DO WITH US.
00:13:40.78\00:13:43.02
NOW LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT I MEAN
BY THAT: JESUS SAYS IN MATTHEW
00:13:43.02\00:13:46.72
5:19, "WHOEVER THEREFORE
BREAKS ONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE
00:13:46.72\00:13:49.99
COMMANDMENTS, AND TEACHES MEN
SO, SHALL BE CALLED LEAST IN THE
00:13:49.99\00:13:54.00
KINGDOM OF HEAVEN;" BY THE WAY,
CHRIST HAS BEEN QUOTING, IN THE
00:13:54.00\00:13:57.40
SERMON ON THE MOUNT,
FROM THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:13:57.40\00:13:59.63
HE SAID, 'YOU HAVE HEARD IT SAID
BY THEM OF OLD YOU SHALL NOT
00:13:59.63\00:14:02.04
COMMIT ADULTERY.' WHAT'S
HE QUOTING? TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:14:02.04\00:14:05.67
AND HE QUOTES IT IN
SEVERAL PLACES THERE.
00:14:05.67\00:14:09.14
AND SO HE SAID, 'WHOEVER
BREAKS ONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE
00:14:09.14\00:14:11.88
COMMANDMENTS AND TEACHES MEN SO,
THEY WILL BE CALLED - OR SPOKEN
00:14:11.88\00:14:14.75
OF - AS THE LEAST IN
THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
00:14:14.75\00:14:17.79
BUT WHOSOEVER WILL
DO AND TEACH THEM."
00:14:17.79\00:14:21.56
NOW FRIENDS, IF YOU SAY, 'PASTOR
DOUG, WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT
00:14:21.56\00:14:23.69
THE SABBATH?' JESUS
SAID 'WHOEVER DOES AND
00:14:23.69\00:14:26.13
TEACHES, I WILL CALL GREAT
IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.' SO I
00:14:26.13\00:14:29.86
HOPE YOU'RE NOT OFFENDED
BUT I'M JUST TRYING TO DO WHAT
00:14:29.86\00:14:32.00
JESUS TELLS ME TO DO. >>AMEN.
00:14:32.00\00:14:34.64
>>HE WANTS US TO DO IT
AND HE WANTS US TO TEACH IT.
00:14:34.64\00:14:36.17
>>AMEN. >>WE
SHOULD NEVER BE ASHAMED
00:14:36.17\00:14:38.17
OF TALKING ABOUT
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:14:38.17\00:14:40.01
IT'S KIND OF SAD THAT IN
CHRISTIAN CHURCHES TODAY THAT
00:14:40.01\00:14:43.24
PEOPLE IN SOME CHURCHES ARE
UNCOMFORTABLE TALKING ABOUT THIS
00:14:43.24\00:14:46.25
SUBJECT BECAUSE
IT'S BEEN NEGLECTED.
00:14:46.25\00:14:48.78
BUT IT'S ONE OF THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS AND IT'S HURTING US
00:14:48.78\00:14:52.52
THAT WE'RE FORGETTING ABOUT
IT. QUESTION #4: OF WHAT TWO
00:14:52.52\00:14:56.69
PRECIOUS THINGS DOES GOD
SAY THAT THE SABBATH IS A SIGN?
00:14:56.69\00:15:01.10
NOW HERE'S FROM EZEKIEL 20,
VERSE 12, IT SAYS, "...I ALSO
00:15:01.10\00:15:04.83
GAVE THEM MY SABBATHS, TO BE
A SIGN BETWEEN THEM AND ME, THAT
00:15:04.83\00:15:08.54
THEY MIGHT KNOW THAT I AM
THE LORD THAT SANCTIFIES THEM."
00:15:08.54\00:15:13.24
NOW, DO WE STILL
NEED SANCTIFYING TODAY?
00:15:13.24\00:15:15.41
>>YES. >>ALRIGHT, SO HE GIVES
00:15:15.41\00:15:17.41
IT TO US FOR THAT
REASON. IS THAT STILL IMPORTANT?
00:15:17.41\00:15:20.28
>>YES.
>>FURTHERMORE, IT SAYS IN EXODUS
00:15:20.28\00:15:23.45
CHAPTER 31 - IT SAYS, "IT IS A
SIGN BETWEEN ME AND THE CHILDREN
00:15:23.45\00:15:27.56
OF ISRAEL FOREVER; FOR IN
SIX DAYS THE LORD MADE" - IT'S A
00:15:27.56\00:15:31.16
SIGN OF HIS CREATIVE ABILITY.
DO WE STILL NEED THE LORD TO
00:15:31.16\00:15:35.66
CREATE WITHIN US
NEW HEARTS? >>AMEN.
00:15:35.66\00:15:38.03
>>SO IT'S A SIGN OF HIS ABILITY
TO SANCTIFY, IT'S A SIGN OF HIS
00:15:38.03\00:15:41.90
ABILITY - HIS POWER - TO CREATE.
A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE WORLD
00:15:41.90\00:15:45.04
TODAY DOUBT THAT GOD CREATED.
I STILL BELIEVE WHAT THE BIBLE
00:15:45.04\00:15:47.44
SAYS, THAT THE LORD CREATED.
I DON'T THINK THAT THE WHOLE
00:15:47.44\00:15:50.21
UNIVERSE IS AN ACCIDENT.
THERE'D BE NO PURPOSE TO LIFE.
00:15:50.21\00:15:53.08
EVERY SABBATH WE'RE
REMEMBERING THE DIVINE CREATION.
00:15:53.08\00:15:57.32
WHAT TIME OF DAY DOES
THE SABBATH BEGIN AND END?
00:15:57.32\00:16:01.76
YOU CAN READ IN LEVITICUS -
IT SAYS 'FROM EVEN UNTO EVEN' -
00:16:01.76\00:16:05.73
FROM SUNDOWN TO SUNDOWN - 'YOU
WILL CELEBRATE YOUR SABBATHS.'
00:16:05.73\00:16:09.00
IT'S PRETTY CLEAR. YOU
CAN READ IN MARK 1, VERSE
00:16:09.00\00:16:11.23
32, AND IT SAYS, "AT
EVENING, WHEN THE SUN HAD SET"
00:16:11.23\00:16:15.50
- SO IT'S SUNDOWN.
THAT'S WHEN THE SABBATH BEGAN.
00:16:15.50\00:16:18.54
AND SOME OF YOU HAVE MAYBE SEEN
A HEBREW VESPERS, WHERE THEY
00:16:18.54\00:16:21.44
UNDERSTAND THIS. CAN
WE BE CERTAIN THAT THE
00:16:21.44\00:16:25.41
PRESENT SEVENTH DAY OF THE
WEEK - SATURDAY - IS THE SAME
00:16:25.41\00:16:28.38
SABBATH THAT JESUS KEPT HOLY?
YOU KNOW, THERE MAYBE HAVE BEEN
00:16:28.38\00:16:32.12
CALENDAR CHANGES AND SO WE CAN'T
BE REALLY SURE.' LOOK AT THESE
00:16:32.12\00:16:35.42
SCRIPTURES THAT I
THINK MAKE IT CLEAR.
00:16:35.42\00:16:37.46
LUKE CHAPTER 23, VERSE 54, "THAT
DAY WAS THE PREPARATION," -
00:16:37.46\00:16:42.46
(FRIDAY) - "AND
THE SABBATH DREW NEAR."
00:16:42.46\00:16:45.70
NOW IN A FEW DAYS THEY'RE GOING
TO BE CELEBRATING WHAT THEY CALL
00:16:45.70\00:16:47.84
GOOD FRIDAY IN MANY
OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCHES.
00:16:47.84\00:16:51.11
"AND THE SABBATH DREW NEAR"
- SO IT'S THE PREPARATION DAY -
00:16:51.11\00:16:54.71
THAT'S PRETTY CLEAR? AND
THEN IT SAYS, "THEY RETURNED AND
00:16:54.71\00:16:57.11
PREPARED SPICES ANDS FRAGRANT
OILS AND THEY RESTED THE SABBATH
00:16:57.11\00:17:00.22
DAY, ACCORDING TO THE
COMMANDMENT. NOW YOU NOTICE -
00:17:00.22\00:17:04.62
THIS WAS WRITTEN BY LUKE.
WAS LUKE A JEW OR A GENTILE?
00:17:04.62\00:17:07.02
>>GENTILE. >>GENTILE.
00:17:07.02\00:17:08.46
HE DOESN'T SAY, 'ACCORDING
TO THE JEWISH LAW.' LUKE, WHO'S
00:17:08.46\00:17:11.36
WRITING THIS, YOU KNOW, TWENTY
YEARS AFTER IT ALL OCCURRED.
00:17:11.36\00:17:15.50
HE DOESN'T SAY, 'THIS IS THE
JEWISH SABBATH' - IT WOULD HAVE
00:17:15.50\00:17:18.03
BEEN A GREAT TIME - HE COULD
HAVE SAID, 'THIS IS THE OLD
00:17:18.03\00:17:19.47
SABBATH.' HE STATES IT AS
A MATTER-OF-FACT THAT EVERY
00:17:19.47\00:17:22.10
CHRISTIAN WOULD UNDERSTAND -
'AND THEY RESTED ACCORDING TO
00:17:22.10\00:17:24.94
THE SABBATH.' IT'S LIKE
IT'S A SELF-EVIDENT TRUTH.
00:17:24.94\00:17:28.04
NOW FRIENDS, DID YOU CATCH THAT?
THE APOSTLES SPENT THREE AND A
00:17:28.04\00:17:31.58
HALF YEARS LISTENING TO JESUS
TEACH, AND WHEN THEY TOOK HIS
00:17:31.58\00:17:35.05
BODY OFF THE CROSS AND THE
SUN WAS GOING DOWN, THEY LOOKED
00:17:35.05\00:17:38.05
AMONG THEMSELVES AND THEY SAID,
'WE ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO
00:17:38.05\00:17:41.06
FINISH ANOINTING
HIS BODY BEFORE SUNDOWN.
00:17:41.06\00:17:43.46
THE LORD WOULD NOT BE PLEASED.'
THEY SAID, 'WE'LL COME BACK
00:17:43.46\00:17:47.36
SUNDAY AND FINISH.' WOW, THEY
WOULD NOT EVEN FINISH THIS LABOR
00:17:47.36\00:17:51.53
OF LOVE BECAUSE THEY
KNEW WHAT JESUS TAUGHT.
00:17:51.53\00:17:56.14
THEY NEVER GOT THE IDEA FROM
CHRIST THAT IT DIDN'T MATTER.
00:17:56.14\00:17:58.87
JESUS HAD A LOT OF CONFLICT WITH
THE RELIGIOUS LEADERS ON THE
00:17:58.87\00:18:01.61
SABBATH, NOT WHETHER OR NOT
IT SHOULD BE KEPT, BUT HOW IT
00:18:01.61\00:18:04.98
SHOULD BE KEPT. BIG DIFFERENCE.
00:18:04.98\00:18:07.55
HE SAID, 'IT'S BETTER TO
DO GOOD ON THE SABBATH DAY.
00:18:07.55\00:18:10.39
IT'S OKAY TO HEAL ON THE SABBATH
DAY.' AND WE MIGHT ANSWER SOME
00:18:10.39\00:18:13.46
OF YOUR QUESTIONS ON
THAT IN A FUTURE PRESENTATION.
00:18:13.46\00:18:17.03
AND THEN IT SAYS - SO THAT WAS
SUNDOWN - SATURDAY - "WHEN HE
00:18:17.03\00:18:21.13
ROSE EARLY THE FIRST DAY
OF THE WEEK" - MARK 16:9 - "HE
00:18:21.13\00:18:24.90
APPEARED FIRST TO MARY
MAGDALENE," - WHAT DAY WOULD
00:18:24.90\00:18:26.97
THAT BE? IT'S
WHAT WE CALL SUNDAY.
00:18:26.97\00:18:29.24
SO YOU JUST KIND OF GET
THE PANORAMA HERE - HE DIES ON
00:18:29.24\00:18:33.27
FRIDAY - CALLED THE PREPARATION
DAY - HE - DO YOU REALIZE JESUS
00:18:33.27\00:18:37.81
EVEN KEPT THE
SABBATH IN HIS DEATH?
00:18:37.81\00:18:40.38
HE WENT TO SLEEP FRIDAY -
YOU KNOW, IT'S INTERESTING, THEY
00:18:40.38\00:18:43.95
OPENED UP HIS SIDE, BLOOD AND
WATER CAME OUT, AND THE CHURCH
00:18:43.95\00:18:46.52
WAS BORN. ADAM WENT
TO SLEEP ON THE SIXTH
00:18:46.52\00:18:49.42
DAY OF THE WEEK AND GOD OPENED
HIS SIDE AND HIS BRIDE WAS BORN.
00:18:49.42\00:18:53.50
JESUS WENT TO SLEEP AND RESTED
THROUGH THE SABBATH AND WOKE
00:18:53.50\00:18:58.40
SUNDAY MORNING EARLY TO CONTINUE
HIS WORK AS OUR HIGH PRIEST - AS
00:18:58.40\00:19:02.90
OUR INTERCESSOR
BEFORE THE HEAVENLY FATHER.
00:19:02.90\00:19:05.81
AND SO, THERE'S NO
QUESTION ABOUT WHICH DAY IT IS.
00:19:05.81\00:19:07.68
NOBODY HAS ANY PROBLEM
FIGURING OUT WHAT DAY FRIDAY IS.
00:19:07.68\00:19:10.08
MUSLIMS ALL OVER THE WORLD, THEY
HAVE SPECIAL PRAYER ON FRIDAY.
00:19:10.08\00:19:14.32
NO ONE WONDERS WHICH DAY SUNDAY
IS UNTIL THEY HEAR THE SABBATH
00:19:14.32\00:19:17.42
TRUTH, THEN THEY SAY
'THE CALENDAR'S BEEN CHANGED.
00:19:17.42\00:19:19.15
WE CAN'T BE TOO SURE ANYMORE.'
00:19:19.15\00:19:21.59
NO ONE HAS A PROBLEM ABOUT
IT UNTIL THEY HEAR THE TRUTH AND
00:19:21.59\00:19:24.16
THEN YOU LOOK IN ANY DICTIONARY
OR ENCYCLOPEDIA AND SAY WHAT IS
00:19:24.16\00:19:26.96
THE SEVENTH DAY? SATURDAY.
WHAT'S THE FIRST DAY? SUNDAY.
00:19:26.96\00:19:30.70
MATTER OF FACT, IN OVER 105
LANGUAGES OF THE WORLD, THE WORD
00:19:30.70\00:19:36.20
FOR THE SEVENTH DAY
OF THE WEEK IS SABBATH.
00:19:36.20\00:19:38.74
MATTER OF FACT, THEY'RE GOING
TO MAYBE SPLASH SOME OF THOSE
00:19:38.74\00:19:41.18
DIFFERENT LANGUAGES
UP THERE ON THE SCREEN.
00:19:41.18\00:19:43.31
THOSE OF YOU WHO SPEAK SPANISH
- AQUI HABLAS ESPANOL - CUAL IS
00:19:43.31\00:19:48.02
SATURDAY? SABADO.
00:19:48.02\00:19:49.82
RUSSIAN - YA
PONIMAYU NIMNOZK RUSKI - IT'S
00:19:49.82\00:19:52.49
SUBOTA. AND JEWISH IT'S SHABBAT.
00:19:52.49\00:19:57.49
IN MANY LANGUAGES OF THE WORLD,
EVEN THOUGH THEY DON'T KEEP IT
00:19:57.49\00:20:01.16
IN THEIR COUNTRY, THE WORD FOR
THE SEVENTH DAY IS SABBATH - OR
00:20:01.16\00:20:04.50
DAY OF REST OR
SOME DERIVATIVE OF THAT.
00:20:04.50\00:20:07.77
SOME PEOPLE SAY, 'WELL, PASTOR
DOUG, THE CALENDAR WAS CHANGED
00:20:07.77\00:20:10.37
SO WE'RE REALLY NOT SURE ANYMORE
WHICH DAY IS WHICH.' THEY NEVER
00:20:10.37\00:20:14.18
RAISE THAT ARGUMENT UNTIL
THEY LEARN THE SABBATH TRUTH.
00:20:14.18\00:20:16.91
THEY SAY, 'WE DON'T KNOW
WHAT DAY IT IS ANYMORE.' HAS THE
00:20:16.91\00:20:18.98
CALENDAR BEEN
CHANGED BEFORE? YES.
00:20:18.98\00:20:22.25
DOES THE CALENDAR CHANGE EVER
AFFECT THE DAYS OF THE WEEK?
00:20:22.25\00:20:25.92
>>NO. >>NO.
00:20:25.92\00:20:27.39
HERE'S AN EXAMPLE OF WHEN THE
JULIAN CALENDAR WAS TRANSFERRED
00:20:27.39\00:20:30.53
TO THE GREGORIAN CALENDAR.
YOU CAN NOTICE THAT THEY HAD TO
00:20:30.53\00:20:34.10
COMPENSATE - AND THAT'S WHERE WE
GET LEAP YEAR NOW - AND YOU'VE
00:20:34.10\00:20:37.10
GOT 1, 2, 3, 4 - THURSDAY IS
THE FOURTH - THEN THEY ADDED TEN
00:20:37.10\00:20:42.80
DAYS AND THE NEXT DAY WAS
THE FIFTEENTH. IT WENT FROM THE
00:20:42.80\00:20:45.81
FOURTH TO THE FIFTEENTH.
DID THEY CHANGE THE CALENDAR?
00:20:45.81\00:20:48.34
YES. WAS THURSDAY STILL
00:20:48.34\00:20:51.18
FOLLOWED BY FRIDAY? >>YES.
00:20:51.18\00:20:53.18
>>YOU KNOW, IT TRICKS PEOPLE
BECAUSE THE DAYS OF THE WEEK ARE
00:20:53.18\00:20:55.82
ON THE CALENDAR, THEY THINK
THAT THEY'RE INTERWOVEN CYCLES.
00:20:55.82\00:20:58.35
THEY'RE COMPLETELY
DIFFERENT CYCLES OF TIME.
00:20:58.35\00:21:00.66
ANY CHANGE YOU MAKE TO
THE CALENDAR NEVER AFFECTS THE
00:21:00.66\00:21:03.02
WEEKLY CYCLE. THAT'S
WHY YOUR BIRTHDAY MIGHT
00:21:03.02\00:21:05.46
BE ON A DIFFERENT DAY
OF THE WEEK EVERY YEAR.
00:21:05.46\00:21:07.66
AND SO, PEOPLE, WHEN THEY
RAISE THIS ARGUMENT ABOUT 'THE
00:21:07.66\00:21:10.90
CALENDAR'S BEEN CHANGED. WE
DON'T KNOW WHICH THE DAYS OF
00:21:10.90\00:21:12.93
THE WEEK ARE.'
THAT'S A TOTAL MYTH.
00:21:12.93\00:21:15.94
SOMEONE WROTE A
LETTER, YEARS AGO, TO THE U.S.
00:21:15.94\00:21:18.04
NAVAL OBSERVATORY AND, IN THEIR
RESPONSE, THEY SAID, 'WE'VE HAD
00:21:18.04\00:21:21.84
THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXAMINE
CHRONOLOGY AND WE'VE NOT FOUND
00:21:21.84\00:21:25.85
ONE PERSON THAT BELIEVES THERE'S
BEEN ANY CHANGE IN THE CALENDAR
00:21:25.85\00:21:29.48
THAT HAS AFFECTED THE CONTINUITY
OF THE WEEKLY CYCLE SINCE LONG
00:21:29.48\00:21:34.29
BEFORE THE CHRISTIAN
ERA.' YOU CAN ALSO SPEAK TO THE
00:21:34.29\00:21:37.53
OBSERVATORY IN GREENWICH,
ENGLAND AND THEY'LL SAY, 'NO,
00:21:37.53\00:21:39.66
THERE'S BEEN NOTHING TO CHANGE
THE CALENDAR THAT AFFECTS THE
00:21:39.66\00:21:42.33
DAYS OF THE WEEK.
AND, IF NOTHING ELSE WILL
00:21:42.33\00:21:46.23
CONVINCE YOU, THERE ARE 15
MILLION JEWS AROUND THE WORLD -
00:21:46.23\00:21:49.54
AND I CAN UNDERSTAND ONE JEWISH
FAMILY GETTING WASHED UP ON A
00:21:49.54\00:21:53.07
DESERTED ISLAND AND LOSING TRACK
OF TIME, AND SAYING, 'WE DON'T
00:21:53.07\00:21:57.08
KNOW ANYMORE WHAT THE SABBATH
IS.' BUT TO SUGGEST THAT THE
00:21:57.08\00:21:59.48
WHOLE NATION - 15 MILLION OF
THEM RIGHT NOW - THAT THEY'VE
00:21:59.48\00:22:01.92
ALL LOST TRACK OF WHAT
THEIR SPECIAL SACRED DAY IS.
00:22:01.92\00:22:05.72
THEY'VE BEEN KEEPING IT
EVER SINCE BEFORE THE EXODUS.
00:22:05.72\00:22:08.82
THEY KNOW - AS
HAVE OTHER COUNTRIES.
00:22:08.82\00:22:11.56
SO THERE'S NO QUESTION
ABOUT WHAT DAY THE SABBATH IS.
00:22:11.56\00:22:14.30
WHAT BLESSINGS ARE PROMISED
BY THE SABBATH COMMANDMENT FOR
00:22:14.30\00:22:18.40
GOD'S PEOPLE? SEVERAL.
00:22:18.40\00:22:21.00
HE SAYS IN MATTHEW 11 -
YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE GREAT
00:22:21.00\00:22:23.51
INVITATION - 'COME UNTO ME
ALL YOU WHO ARE WEARY AND HEAVY
00:22:23.51\00:22:27.18
LADEN AND' - WHAT
DOES JESUS PROMISE?
00:22:27.18\00:22:28.64
>>REST. >>I'LL GIVE YOU REST.
00:22:28.64\00:22:31.31
NOW GOD NOT ONLY WANTS US
TO HAVE THE LETTER OF THE LAW -
00:22:31.31\00:22:35.58
PHYSICAL REST, HE WANTS TO
HAVE THE SPIRIT OF THE LAW -
00:22:35.58\00:22:37.95
SPIRITUAL REST. AND
CHRIST GIVES US BOTH, BUT WE
00:22:37.95\00:22:42.52
STILL NEED THE
PHYSICAL REST AS WELL.
00:22:42.52\00:22:45.23
NOTICE SOMETHING IN REVELATION
ABOUT THE BEAST POWER.
00:22:45.23\00:22:49.36
IT SAYS THAT IN REVELATION
CHAPTER 14, VERSE 11, "THE SMOKE
00:22:49.36\00:22:54.94
OF THEIR TORMENT ASCENDS UP
FOREVER AND EVER; AND THEY HAVE"
00:22:54.94\00:22:58.94
- WHAT? - "HAVE
NO REST" - AND NOTICE
00:22:58.94\00:23:03.58
JESUS SAYS, 'COME AND I'LL GIVE
YOU REST.' THE BEAST POWER SAYS,
00:23:03.58\00:23:06.35
'NO REST.' CHRIST TELLS US IN
EXODUS 33:14, "MY PRESENCE WILL
00:23:06.35\00:23:12.45
GO WITH YOU, AND I
WILL GIVE YOU REST."
00:23:12.45\00:23:15.89
JESUS WANTS YOU TO HAVE PEACE
AND HE WANTS YOU TO HAVE REST
00:23:15.89\00:23:17.93
AND THE SABBATH -
IT'S NOT A CURSED DAY.
00:23:17.93\00:23:20.40
WHAT DID HE DO TO
THE DAY? HE BLESSED IT.
00:23:20.40\00:23:23.37
HOW MANY OF YOU
WANT A BLESSING? >>AMEN.
00:23:23.37\00:23:25.73
>>PEOPLE ARE MISSING A BLESSING
THAT - IT'S NOT FROM A CHURCH -
00:23:25.73\00:23:29.80
IT'S FROM THE CREATOR AND HE'S
COMMANDING IT BECAUSE HE LOVES
00:23:29.80\00:23:34.18
US AND HE KNOWS WHAT WE NEED.
YOU KNOW, EVERY ONE OF THE TEN
00:23:34.18\00:23:36.85
COMMANDMENTS IS FOR YOUR GOOD.
HOW MANY OF YOU BELIEVE THAT?
00:23:36.85\00:23:39.15
>>AMEN. >>THEY'RE
NOT FOR YOUR HARM.
00:23:39.15\00:23:41.95
AND YET, SOME CHURCHES, THEY'RE
NOT SHARING THAT TRUTH. AGAIN,
00:23:41.95\00:23:45.95
HEBREWS 4, VERSE 9, IT SAYS,
"THERE REMAINS THEREFORE A REST"
00:23:45.95\00:23:50.36
- THIS IS NEW TESTAMENT - "THERE
REMAINS THEREFORE A REST" - THAT
00:23:50.36\00:23:53.53
WORD 'REST' THERE - SABATISMOS
- IT'S THE GREEK FOR SABBATH -
00:23:53.53\00:23:57.07
THERE REMAINS A
SABBATH FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD.
00:23:57.07\00:24:00.37
FOR THOSE WHO SAY THAT THE
SABBATH'S NOT MENTIONED IN THE
00:24:00.37\00:24:03.64
NEW TESTAMENT, HERE'S
JUST ONE OF THOSE MANY VERSES.
00:24:03.64\00:24:06.84
WE STILL NEED IT. IT REMAINS
- AND MUCH OF THE CHURCH HAS
00:24:06.84\00:24:10.15
FORGOTTEN WHAT GOD WANTS US
TO ENJOY AND EMBRACE. AND THAT'S
00:24:10.15\00:24:13.75
SOMETHING WE NEED. JESUS SAID,
IN JOHN CHAPTER 13, VERSE 17,
00:24:13.75\00:24:19.12
"IF YOU KNOW THESE THINGS,
BLESSED" - OR HAPPY - "ARE YOU
00:24:19.12\00:24:23.63
IF YOU DO THEM." I
BELIEVE THE LORD WANTS YOU TO
00:24:23.63\00:24:27.30
BE BLESSED. HE WANTS
YOU TO HAVE THAT PEACE
00:24:27.30\00:24:29.43
AND THAT REST. HOW MANY OF
YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE PEACE AND
00:24:29.43\00:24:31.90
REST IN YOUR LIFE? >>AMEN.
00:24:31.90\00:24:34.07
>>FATHER IN HEAVEN, LORD, I PRAY
THAT YOU'LL BE WITH EACH PERSON
00:24:34.07\00:24:37.44
THAT IS HERE, THOSE THAT ARE
WATCHING - WE'VE LEARNED SOME
00:24:37.44\00:24:41.04
NEW THINGS TONIGHT AND
I'VE TRIED TO JUST PACK SO MUCH
00:24:41.04\00:24:43.51
INFORMATION INTO VERY LITTLE
TIME AND I JUST PRAY THAT THE
00:24:43.51\00:24:47.15
HOLY SPIRIT, NOW, WILL
TAKE THESE SCRIPTURES AND THESE
00:24:47.15\00:24:50.02
PRINCIPLES AND HELP THEM
SETTLE INTO OUR HEARTS, LORD.
00:24:50.02\00:24:54.36
ULTIMATELY, I PRAY THAT EACH
PERSON WILL ASK THE QUESTION,
00:24:54.36\00:24:57.43
'WHAT DOES THE WORD
SAY?' WE'LL BE WILLING
00:24:57.43\00:24:59.79
TO DO YOUR WORD.
I PRAY YOUR BLESSING
00:24:59.79\00:25:01.96
ON EACH PERSON. BE
WITH THEM IN THEIR BODIES,
00:25:01.96\00:25:04.27
THEIR FAMILIES - HELP THEM
TO HAVE PEACE AND REST IN JESUS.
00:25:04.27\00:25:08.27
WE THANK YOU AND PRAY THESE
THINGS IN CHRIST'S NAME. AMEN.

>>THE BIBLE TELLS
US THAT GOD IS LOVE.
00:26:39.56\00:26:42.70
THE ESSENCE OF THE GREAT
COMMANDMENTS ARE TO LOVE THE
00:26:42.70\00:26:45.13
LORD AND LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR.
BUT REAL LOVE REQUIRES TIME.
00:26:45.13\00:26:49.47
