>>AMEN. >>I'M GOING
TO TELL YOU WHAT THE
00:02:02.98\00:02:04.02
WORD OF GOD SAYS
BECAUSE WE'RE TOO SHORT ON TIME.
00:02:04.02\00:02:07.66
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LOOK
AT THE NEWS IN THE LAST 24 HOURS
00:02:07.66\00:02:11.63
AND YOU CAN TELL THAT
THE WORLD IS IN BAD SHAPE.
00:02:11.63\00:02:15.00
AND WE NEED TO KNOW
WHAT THE PROPHECIES SAY.
00:02:15.00\00:02:18.40
JESUS HAS GIVEN US SOME TRUTH.
THERE'S A LOT OF STRESS AND
00:02:18.40\00:02:22.10
TROUBLE IN THIS WORLD AND GOD
WANTS YOU TO KNOW HOW YOU CAN
00:02:22.10\00:02:25.74
HAVE REAL PEACE AND
REST - THAT'S WHY JESUS CAME.
00:02:25.74\00:02:29.28
HE SAYS, 'COME UNTO ME AND I
WILL GIVE YOU REST.' WELL, WE'RE
00:02:29.28\00:02:32.58
GOING TO BE DEALING WITH SOME
QUESTIONS IN OUR STUDY TONIGHT
00:02:32.58\00:02:35.72
AND OUR PRESENTATION TONIGHT
IS DEALING WITH THE LOST DAY OF
00:02:35.72\00:02:40.89
HISTORY. AND HERE'S
QUESTION #1 IN OUR PRESENTATION.
00:02:40.89\00:02:45.03
DID GOD MAKE THE SABBATH
REST ONLY FOR ISRAELITES?
00:02:45.03\00:02:48.56
>>NO. >>NO.
00:02:48.56\00:02:50.77
THERE'S A NUMBER OF
SCRIPTURES THAT BEAR THIS OUT.
00:02:50.77\00:02:53.17
FOR INSTANCE, YOU CAN READ WHERE
JESUS SAYS, IN MARK CHAPTER 2,
00:02:53.17\00:02:57.71
VERSE 2, HE SAID, "THE
SABBATH WAS MADE FOR MAN."
00:02:57.71\00:03:02.38
NOW HOW DO YOU SPELL JEW? M-A-N?
00:03:02.38\00:03:05.08
(LAUGHTER) NO, MAN MEANS MANKIND
- AND HE WENT ON TO SAY, 'NOT
00:03:05.08\00:03:09.75
MAN FOR THE SABBATH' - MEANING,
MAN WAS MADE FIRST AND THE
00:03:09.75\00:03:13.29
SABBATH WAS MADE TO
BE A BLESSING FOR MAN.
00:03:13.29\00:03:16.06
AND THEN YOU CAN READ IN ISAIAH
CHAPTER 56, IT SAYS, 'AND ALSO
00:03:16.06\00:03:19.29
THE SONS OF THE STRANGER THAT
JOIN THEMSELVES TO THE LORD TO
00:03:19.29\00:03:23.43
SERVE HIM AND TO LOVE THE
NAME OF THE LORD AND TO BE HIS
00:03:23.43\00:03:29.50
SERVANTS, EVERYONE THAT KEEPS
THE SABBATH FROM POLLUTING IT' -
00:03:29.50\00:03:32.67
IT'S TALKING ABOUT
THE SONS OF THE STRANGER.
00:03:32.67\00:03:34.28
THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT
JEWS, THAT JOINED TO THE LORD,
00:03:34.28\00:03:39.11
THAT KEEP THE SABBATH, TAKE HOLD
OF MY COVENANT - IT SAYS, "EVEN
00:03:39.11\00:03:44.09
THEM I WILL BRING TO MY HOLY
MOUNTAIN AND MAKE THEM JOYFUL IN
00:03:44.09\00:03:47.79
MY HOUSE OF PRAYER. FOR
MY HOUSE SHALL BE CALLED
00:03:47.79\00:03:50.19
A HOUSE OF
PRAYER FOR ALL NATIONS."
00:03:50.19\00:03:53.26
FOR ONE NATION? >>ALL.
00:03:53.26\00:03:55.40
>>REMEMBER WHEN JESUS DROVE
THE MONEY CHANGERS OUT OF THE
00:03:55.40\00:03:57.20
TEMPLE, HE QUOTED FROM
THIS VERSE. IT'S FOR EVERYBODY.
00:03:57.20\00:04:00.50
THAT'S WHY IT EVEN SAYS IN
THE COMMANDMENT THAT EVERYBODY'S
00:04:00.50\00:04:03.00
SUPPOSED TO REST.
ALRIGHT, QUESTION #2: DID THE
00:04:03.00\00:04:06.88
SABBATH LAW EXIST
BEFORE MOUNT SINAI?
00:04:06.88\00:04:10.35
NOW SOME PEOPLE SAY, 'WELL, THE
SABBATH WAS CREATED FOR THE JEWS
00:04:10.35\00:04:12.65
AND IT'S A SPECIAL COVENANT WITH
THE JEWS AND GOD GAVE IT TO -
00:04:12.65\00:04:16.18
AND PEOPLE - SOMETIMES PASTORS
WILL SAY, 'THE SABBATH CAME FROM
00:04:16.18\00:04:18.99
MOSES' - LIKE IT WAS HIS IDEA.
AND THAT'S NOT AT ALL TRUE.
00:04:18.99\00:04:24.06
LET ME JUST TAKE YOU THROUGH
A LITTLE SCENARIO IN THE BIBLE.
00:04:24.06\00:04:27.00
GOD TALKS TO MOSES AT
THE BURNING BUSH, RIGHT?
00:04:27.00\00:04:29.56
IT SAYS, 'GO, BRING MY PEOPLE
OUT OF EGYPT.' AND HE GOES AND
00:04:29.56\00:04:34.24
HE MEETS WITH THE PHARAOH - HE
AND AARON - AND BEFORE HE MEETS
00:04:34.24\00:04:39.04
WITH THE PHARAOH - DID YOU
NOTICE THERE, IT SAYS IN EXODUS
00:04:39.04\00:04:41.64
CHAPTER 4:29, 'MOSES AND AARON
WENT AND GATHERED ALL THE ELDERS
00:04:41.64\00:04:45.71
OF THE CHILDREN
OF ISRAEL TOGETHER.
00:04:45.71\00:04:47.75
HE SAID, 'GOD HAS VISITED
US. AND HE HAS A SPECIAL PLAN.
00:04:47.75\00:04:51.95
HE'S GOING TO
REDEEM US FROM THIS PLACE.
00:04:51.95\00:04:53.36
BUT WE NEED TO
CONSECRATE OURSELVES TO HIM.
00:04:53.36\00:04:55.32
YOU'VE BEEN
WORKING SEVEN DAYS A WEEK.
00:04:55.32\00:04:57.13
YOU'RE NOT REMEMBERING
THE LORD. YOU'RE STARTING TO
00:04:57.13\00:04:58.76
FOLLOW THE GODS OF EGYPT.
YOU NEED TO RETURN TO THE LORD.'
00:04:58.76\00:05:01.20
AND THAT INCLUDED THE
SABBATH. HOW DO I KNOW THAT?
00:05:01.20\00:05:03.67
WHEN MOSES AND AARON GO TO
THE PHARAOH AND HE SAYS, 'LET MY
00:05:03.67\00:05:06.87
PEOPLE GO THAT
THEY MAY SERVE ME.'
00:05:06.87\00:05:09.77
YOU KNOW HOW THE
PHARAOH RESPONDS?
00:05:09.77\00:05:12.14
HE SAID, 'BEHOLD, THE PEOPLE OF
THE LAND ARE MANY AND YOU MAKE
00:05:12.14\00:05:16.61
THEM REST.' NOW, YOU KNOW WHAT
THE WORD THERE IS, IN HEBREW,
00:05:16.61\00:05:19.51
FOR REST? IT SAYS,
'YOU MAKE THEM SHABBAT.
00:05:19.51\00:05:23.22
YOU'RE MAKING THEM KEEP
SABBATH. YOU'RE TELLING THEM
00:05:23.22\00:05:26.19
THAT THEY NEED TO REST.
I'M NOT GOING TO LET THEM REST.
00:05:26.19\00:05:29.06
MATTER OF FACT, NOW THEY'RE
GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE BRICKS
00:05:29.06\00:05:30.59
WITHOUT STRAW. AND
YOU KNOW THAT STORY.
00:05:30.59\00:05:34.03
HE INCREASED THEIR WORKLOAD
TO PREVENT - WHO DOES MOSES
00:05:34.03\00:05:36.63
REPRESENT? HE'S CHRIST,
RIGHT? THE GREAT SAVIOR.
00:05:36.63\00:05:39.43
WHO DOES PHARAOH
REPRESENT? >>SATAN.
00:05:39.43\00:05:41.37
>>THE DEVIL.
JESUS IS SAYING 'REST.'
00:05:41.37\00:05:43.44
THE DEVIL IS SAYING, 'NO.
WORK, WORK, WORK. I'M GOING TO
00:05:43.44\00:05:46.11
INCREASE YOUR WORK SO YOU CAN'T
THINK ABOUT GOD.' AND THAT'S
00:05:46.11\00:05:48.98
WHAT HE'S DOING TO THE
CHURCH AND TO OUR SOCIETY TODAY.
00:05:48.98\00:05:51.25
>>AMEN. >>PEOPLE
HAVE GOT SO MANY THINGS
00:05:51.25\00:05:53.48
AND SO MANY DEVICES TO KEEP US
BUSY THAT THERE'S NO TIME TO BE
00:05:53.48\00:05:57.09
STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM
GOD. AND IT'S ALL A TRAP.
00:05:57.09\00:06:02.36
PHARAOH SAID, 'I'M NOT
GOING TO EVEN GIVE YOU STRAW.
00:06:02.36\00:06:04.23
YOU CAN GO GATHER IT WHERE YOU
CAN.' HE SAID, 'GO DOWN NOW AND
00:06:04.23\00:06:09.26
THERE'LL BE NO
STRAW GIVEN TO YOU.'
00:06:09.26\00:06:11.30
AND HE
INCREASED THEIR WORK LOAD.
00:06:11.30\00:06:12.90
THEN, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT
THE EXODUS - STAY WITH ME - GOD
00:06:12.90\00:06:15.70
WORKS THE TEN PLAGUES AND
THEY'RE - PARTS THE RED SEA AND
00:06:15.70\00:06:18.57
THEY COME OUT OF
EGYPT AND THEIR SLAVERY.
00:06:18.57\00:06:22.28
BEFORE THEY GET TO MOUNT SINAI,
THEY GOT HUNGRY AND GOD SAYS,
00:06:22.28\00:06:26.21
'I'VE GOT A PLAN. I'M
GOING TO FEED YOU WITH BREAD
00:06:26.21\00:06:28.18
FROM HEAVEN.' EXODUS 16
- WHAT CHAPTER DID I SAY?
00:06:28.18\00:06:31.35
>>EXODUS 16. >>EXODUS
16 - THAT'S ALL YOU'VE
00:06:31.35\00:06:33.69
GOT TO REMEMBER IS
THE NUMBER 16 THERE.
00:06:33.69\00:06:35.72
MOSES SAID, 'EAT
TODAY WHAT IS HERE.
00:06:35.72\00:06:38.53
I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU BREAD
SIX DAYS A WEEK FROM HEAVEN.
00:06:38.53\00:06:41.53
THERE'LL BE NONE ON THE SEVENTH
DAY, WHICH IS THE SABBATH.' HE
00:06:41.53\00:06:44.70
SAID, 'AND THEN, YOU KNOW, I'LL
MAKE THE BREAD YOU GATHER ON THE
00:06:44.70\00:06:48.34
SIXTH DAY LAST THROUGH THAT DAY.
AND IT SAYS SOME OF THE PEOPLE
00:06:48.34\00:06:52.94
DIDN'T BELIEVE GOD AND THEY WENT
OUT LOOKING FOR BREAD ON THE
00:06:52.94\00:06:56.04
SEVENTH DAY OF THE WEEK.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT GOD SAID?
00:06:56.04\00:06:58.31
'HOW LONG WILL YOU REFUSE
TO KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS AND MY
00:06:58.31\00:07:03.12
LAWS?' THEY HAVEN'T
GOTTEN TO MOUNT SINAI YET.
00:07:03.12\00:07:05.99
YOU STILL WITH
ME? WHAT IS HE CALLING
00:07:05.99\00:07:07.99
THE SABBATH THEN? A
COMMANDMENT AND A LAW.
00:07:07.99\00:07:11.19
AND THIS IS EXODUS CHAPTER
16 - YOU DON'T GET THE TEN
00:07:11.19\00:07:14.40
COMMANDMENTS UNTIL YOU
GET TO EXODUS CHAPTER 20.
00:07:14.40\00:07:17.00
SO THE IDEA THAT MOSES DREAMED
IT UP - GOD SAID - NO, IT GOES
00:07:17.00\00:07:20.00
ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE
BEGINNING - GENESIS CHAPTER 2.
00:07:20.00\00:07:23.17
IT'S MADE FOR MAN - FOR MANKIND.
QUESTION #3: HAVE THE TEN
00:07:23.17\00:07:27.48
COMMANDMENTS BEEN
CHANGED? ANSWER: NO.
00:07:27.48\00:07:31.11
EVERY WORD OF GOD IS PURE.
THE BIBLE SAYS, 'ADD NOT TO HIS
00:07:31.11\00:07:35.42
WORDS LEST HE REPROVE
YOU AND YOU BE FOUND A LIAR.
00:07:35.42\00:07:39.62
AND YOU CAN READ IN DANIEL 7:25
- ONE OF THE THINGS THE BEAST
00:07:39.62\00:07:44.66
POWER DOES - IT SAYS, 'HE WILL
THINK TO CHANGE TIMES AND LAWS.'
00:07:44.66\00:07:48.80
THAT'S WHY YOU NEED
TO KEEP COMING, FRIEND.
00:07:48.80\00:07:50.63
WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING THIS
WEEK ABOUT THE BEAST AND THE
00:07:50.63\00:07:52.90
MARK OF THE BEAST AND THINGS
THAT ARE HAPPENING IN THE LAST
00:07:52.90\00:07:55.00
DAYS. YOU DON'T
WANT TO MISS THIS.
00:07:55.00\00:07:58.21
WHICH DAY DID JESUS
KEEP? NOW, WHAT IS A CHRISTIAN?
00:07:58.21\00:08:00.81
>>A FOLLOWER OF
CHRIST. >>IS A CHRISTIAN A
00:08:00.81\00:08:02.51
FOLLOWER OF CHRISTIANS? >>NO.
00:08:02.51\00:08:04.41
>>IS A CHRISTIAN A
FOLLOWER OF CHURCHES?
00:08:04.41\00:08:06.68
>>NO. >>OR IS A CHRISTIAN A
00:08:06.68\00:08:08.22
FOLLOWER OF - >>CHRIST.
00:08:08.22\00:08:10.02
>>CHRIST. SO WHAT'S
THE EXAMPLE OF JESUS?
00:08:10.02\00:08:12.45
IF YOU DO WHAT
JESUS DOES, YOU'RE SAFE.
00:08:12.45\00:08:14.36
CAN YOU SAY 'AMEN'? >>AMEN.
00:08:14.36\00:08:15.62
>>WHAT DAY DID HE
KEEP AS HOLY? >>SATURDAY.
00:08:15.62\00:08:18.59
>>YOU CAN READ IN LUKE CHAPTER
4, VERSE 16, "SO HE CAME TO
00:08:18.59\00:08:21.43
NAZARETH, WHERE HE
HAD BEEN BROUGHT UP.
00:08:21.43\00:08:23.26
AND AS HIS CUSTOM
WAS" - WHAT'S A CUSTOM?
00:08:23.26\00:08:26.43
SOMETHING YOU DO ONCE OR TWICE
IN YOUR LIFE, OR IS IT A REGULAR
00:08:26.43\00:08:28.74
PATTERN? >>PATTERN.
00:08:28.74\00:08:30.07
>>"AND AS HIS CUSTOM WAS, HE
WENT INTO THE SYNAGOGUE ON THE
00:08:30.07\00:08:32.91
SABBATH DAY, AND
STOOD UP TO READ."
00:08:32.91\00:08:35.11
(THE SCRIPTURES) JESUS, FROM HIS
YOUTH, HE WENT TO CHURCH EVERY
00:08:35.11\00:08:39.25
WEEK AND HE READ THE
BIBLE AND THIS WAS HIS CUSTOM.
00:08:39.25\00:08:43.08
AND THAT WAS THE PRACTICE IN
THE OLD TESTAMENT AND IN THE NEW
00:08:43.08\00:08:45.49
TESTAMENT. WHAT
WAS PAUL'S CUSTOM?
00:08:45.49\00:08:48.49
WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT SOME OF
THE OTHER GREAT LEADERS IN THE
00:08:48.49\00:08:51.43
BIBLE. PAUL WROTE
ALMOST HALF OF THE
00:08:51.43\00:08:53.36
NEW TESTAMENT, SO
WHAT WAS HIS PRACTICE?
00:08:53.36\00:08:56.56
YOU CAN READ HERE - IT SAYS IN
ACTS CHAPTER 17, VERSE 2, "...AS
00:08:56.56\00:08:59.90
HIS" - WHAT'S THE WORD?
00:08:59.90\00:09:01.74
- HIS CUSTOM WAS - IT SAYS, "HE
WENT IN TO THEM, AND FOR THREE
00:09:01.74\00:09:05.07
SABBATHS REASONED WITH
THEM FROM THE SCRIPTURES."
00:09:05.07\00:09:08.51
MATTER OF FACT, IF YOU LOOK
IN THE BOOK OF ACTS, CHAPTER 9,
00:09:08.51\00:09:13.45
WHEN PAUL BEGINS - BEFORE HE'S
CONVERTED - PAUL'S NAME WAS SAUL
00:09:13.45\00:09:17.65
AND HE GOES TO
HUNT DOWN CHRISTIANS.
00:09:17.65\00:09:20.52
HOW MANY OF YOU
KNEW THAT - IN THE BIBLE?
00:09:20.52\00:09:22.26
DO YOU KNOW WHERE HE
GOES TO LOOK FOR THEM?
00:09:22.26\00:09:23.99
>>SYNAGOGUES. >>HE GOES INTO THE
00:09:23.99\00:09:25.19
SYNAGOGUES TO LOOK FOR THEM.
WHY? BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THEY
00:09:25.19\00:09:27.40
WERE MEETING. AND
THAT WAS OPEN ON SABBATH.
00:09:27.40\00:09:31.00
SO THE EARLY CHRISTIANS, THEY
NEVER UNDERSTOOD THAT THERE WAS
00:09:31.00\00:09:34.07
ANYTHING OTHER TO DO THAN KEEP
THE DAY THAT JESUS KEPT AND THAT
00:09:34.07\00:09:37.97
WAS GIVEN BACK TO
MAN IN THE BEGINNING.
00:09:37.97\00:09:40.61
AND HE REASONED WITH THEM IN
THE SYNAGOGUE EVERY SABBATH AND
00:09:40.61\00:09:44.65
PERSUADED - NOT JUST JEWS - JEWS
AND GREEKS - THE WORD 'GREEK'
00:09:44.65\00:09:47.38
THERE MEANS
'GENTILES' OR NON-JEWS.
00:09:47.38\00:09:50.79
NEXT QUESTION: DID THE APOSTLES
ALSO MEET WITH GENTILES?
00:09:50.79\00:09:54.42
SOME PEOPLE SAY, 'WELL, YEAH,
THEY WERE GOING TO THE SYNAGOGUE
00:09:54.42\00:09:56.09
BECAUSE THEY WERE
TRYING TO CONVERT THE JEWS.
00:09:56.09\00:09:57.96
THE NEW TESTAMENT SAYS IT WAS
THEIR PRACTICE - NOT JUST PAUL,
00:09:57.96\00:10:03.23
BUT PETER, JAMES, JOHN - ALL
OF THEM, THEY MET WITH JEWS AND
00:10:03.23\00:10:07.24
GENTILES. DID THE
APOSTLES JUST SPEAK
00:10:07.24\00:10:09.50
TO GENTILES ON THE SABBATH?
ANSWER: IN ACTS CHAPTER 13,
00:10:09.50\00:10:13.11
VERSE 42 IT SAYS, "AND WHEN THE
JEWS WENT OUT OF THE SYNAGOGUE,
00:10:13.11\00:10:17.48
THE GENTILES BESOUGHT THAT
THESE WORDS MIGHT BE PREACHED
00:10:17.48\00:10:20.65
TO THEM THE NEXT
SABBATH." AND WHAT HAPPENED
00:10:20.65\00:10:23.12
AS A RESULT OF THAT? IT
SAYS ON THE NEXT SABBATH, THE
00:10:23.12\00:10:27.19
WHOLE CITY GATHERED TOGETHER
TO HEAR THE WORD OF GOD.
00:10:27.19\00:10:30.89
IT'S NOT JUST TALKING
ABOUT JEWS; ALL OF THEM CAME.
00:10:30.89\00:10:33.63
WHEREVER THE CHRISTIANS WENT,
THROUGH THE FIRST CENTURIES,
00:10:33.63\00:10:37.13
THEY MET EVERY SABBATH DAY.
DID JESUS INTEND FOR HIS PEOPLE
00:10:37.13\00:10:41.44
TO KEEP THE SABBATH
AFTER HE DIED FOR THEIR SINS?
00:10:41.44\00:10:45.04
>>YES. >>WELL, YOU LOOK AT THE
00:10:45.04\00:10:46.68
PROPHECIES THAT JESUS GAVE ABOUT
THE SECOND COMING AND HE SAYS,
00:10:46.68\00:10:49.94
'PRAY THAT YOUR FLIGHT BE NOT
IN THE WINTER NEITHER ON THE' -
00:10:49.94\00:10:53.35
>>SABBATH.
>>WHY DID HE SAY THAT?
00:10:53.35\00:10:57.19
LOOKING DOWN IN TIME, CHRIST
KNEW - HE SAID, 'PRAY IT'S NOT
00:10:57.19\00:10:59.89
IN THE WINTER BECAUSE IF
THEY HAD TO FLEE OUT INTO THE
00:10:59.89\00:11:01.79
WILDERNESS - THERE'S
NOT MUCH IN THE FIELDS.
00:11:01.79\00:11:04.89
THERE'S NO HARVEST GOING ON.
IT'S GOING TO BE ESPECIALLY COLD
00:11:04.89\00:11:07.03
AND HARD AND, OBVIOUSLY, FLEEING
FOR YOUR LIFE - YOU WOULDN'T
00:11:07.03\00:11:10.53
WANT TO BE DOING THAT ON THE
SABBATH DAY. AND SO, HE EXPECTED
00:11:10.53\00:11:13.50
HIS PEOPLE TO BE REMEMBERING
THIS ON THROUGH TIME.
00:11:13.50\00:11:17.14
DOES THE BIBLE TEACH THAT GOD'S
END-TIME PEOPLE WOULD ALSO BE
00:11:17.14\00:11:20.98
KEEPING WHAT WE CALL THE
SEVENTH-DAY SABBATH HOLY?
00:11:20.98\00:11:25.21
YOU CAN LOOK HERE IN REVELATION
CHAPTER 12, VERSE 17 - IT SAYS,
00:11:25.21\00:11:29.05
"AND THE DRAGON WAS WROTH WITH
THE WOMAN, AND HE WENT TO MAKE
00:11:29.05\00:11:33.02
WAR WITH THE REMNANT OF
HER SEED," - AND THERE'S TWO
00:11:33.02\00:11:35.52
OUTSTANDING CHARACTERISTICS IN
THE LAST DAYS, OF GOD'S PEOPLE -
00:11:35.52\00:11:38.99
REVELATION 12:17 - SHE KEEPS THE
COMMANDMENTS OF GOD AND HAS THE
00:11:38.99\00:11:43.77
TESTIMONY OF JESUS.
THAT'S THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS.
00:11:43.77\00:11:47.44
THAT'S THE OLD TESTAMENT ENDED
- MOSES AND ELIJAH - THE LAW AND
00:11:47.44\00:11:50.14
THE PROPHETS - STILL BELIEVES
IN THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD.
00:11:50.14\00:11:53.41
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAUGHT
SOMETHING THERE IN GENESIS
00:11:53.41\00:11:56.21
CHAPTER 2, THE FIRST VERSE.
THE FIRST TIME YOU FIND ANY
00:11:56.21\00:11:59.95
NUMBER MENTIONED THREE
TIMES IN THE BIBLE IS SEVEN.
00:11:59.95\00:12:03.08
IT SAYS, 'THE SEVENTH DAY, THE
SEVENTH DAY, THE SEVENTH DAY' -
00:12:03.08\00:12:05.99
THERE IN THE
BEGINNING OF GENESIS CHAPTER 2.
00:12:05.99\00:12:08.39
AT THE END OF THE BIBLE THERE'S
ANOTHER NUMBER THAT STANDS OUT.
00:12:08.39\00:12:11.73
WHAT NUMBER IS THAT? >>6-6-6.
00:12:11.73\00:12:13.40
>>6-6-6. SEVEN
IS A NUMBER FOR GOD.
00:12:13.40\00:12:17.73
IT'S CALLED THE PERFECT NUMBER.
00:12:17.73\00:12:19.23
MAN WAS MADE ON THE SIXTH
DAY - IT IS A NUMBER FOR MAN.
00:12:19.23\00:12:22.74
YOU'LL NOTICE IT SAYS IN
REVELATION CHAPTER 13, SPEAKING
00:12:22.74\00:12:25.44
OF THE MARK OF THE BEAST AND THE
NUMBER 6-6-6 - IT SAYS IT IS THE
00:12:25.44\00:12:28.68
NUMBER OF A MAN. SO, IN
THE LAST DAYS, YOU HAVE A
00:12:28.68\00:12:33.15
CONFLICT BETWEEN WORSHIPING
GOD AND WORSHIPING MAN.
00:12:33.15\00:12:37.65
YOU KNOW WHY THIS
IS IMPORTANT, FRIENDS?
00:12:37.65\00:12:40.72
YOU'RE GOING TO FIND, IN
THE LAST DAYS, AND I'M GOING TO
00:12:40.72\00:12:43.86
REPEAT THIS A FEW TIMES.
THERE'S GOING TO BE A BATTLE
00:12:43.86\00:12:47.60
OVER WHO YOU WORSHIP.
RIGHT BACK IN THE BEGINNING,
00:12:47.60\00:12:51.10
WITH CAIN AND ABEL, THEY BOTH
CLAIMED TO WORSHIP THE SAME GOD.
00:12:51.10\00:12:56.07
ABEL DID IT THE WAY GOD
TOLD HIM - HE BROUGHT A LAMB.
00:12:56.07\00:13:00.18
CAIN MODIFIED THINGS AND HE
BROUGHT THE FRUIT OF T GROUND.
00:13:00.18\00:13:03.55
ABEL TRIED TO REASON WITH HIS
BROTHER AND SAID, 'YOU NEED TO
00:13:03.55\00:13:06.01
OBEY GOD.' AND HE SAID,
'LOOK, I CAN DO MY OWN THING.
00:13:06.01\00:13:08.12
IT'S A SMALL DETAIL.' GOD
ACCEPTED ABEL'S SACRIFICE.
00:13:08.12\00:13:12.42
HE DID NOT
ACCEPT CAIN'S SACRIFICE.
00:13:12.42\00:13:14.49
THEY BOTH WERE BROTHERS AND THEY
CLAIMED TO WORSHIP THE SAME GOD,
00:13:14.49\00:13:18.23
BUT CAIN KILLED HIS
BROTHER. YOU'VE GOT THE ONE -
00:13:18.23\00:13:22.43
THEY'RE BOTH WORSHIPING.
THEY'RE BOTH, OSTENSIBLY,
00:13:22.43\00:13:24.90
WORSHIPING THE SAME GOD, BUT THE
ONE WHO IS WORSHIPING CORRECTLY
00:13:24.90\00:13:29.10
IS PERSECUTED BY
THE ONE WHO COMPROMISES.
00:13:29.10\00:13:32.34
YOU'VE GOT MAN-MADE WORSHIP -
AND THIS IS WHAT'S HAPPENING IN
00:13:32.34\00:13:34.24
REVELATION - THOSE WHO DO
NOT WORSHIP THE BEAST THE WAY
00:13:34.24\00:13:37.38
THEY'RE TOLD ARE PERSECUTED
AND THEY CAN'T BUY OR SELL AND,
00:13:37.38\00:13:41.72
ULTIMATELY,
THERE'S A DEATH PENALTY.
00:13:41.72\00:13:43.52
YOU SEE IT HAPPENING
ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE.
00:13:43.52\00:13:45.65
BUT NOW I'M GETTING AHEAD OF
MYSELF BECAUSE I'M GOING TO BE
00:13:45.65\00:13:47.42
TALKING MORE
ABOUT THAT TOMORROW.
00:13:47.42\00:13:49.89
ALRIGHT, SO - ANOTHER ONE -
REVELATION 14:6 - SIMILAR TO
00:13:49.89\00:13:54.23
REVELATION 12:17 - IT SAID,
"THEN I SAW ANOTHER ANGEL FLYING
00:13:54.23\00:13:57.87
IN THE MIDST OF HEAVEN, HAVING
THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL TO PREACH
00:13:57.87\00:14:01.70
TO THOSE WHO DWELL ON THE
EARTH - TO EVERY NATION, TRIBE,
00:14:01.70\00:14:05.64
TONGUE, AND PEOPLE" - THIS
IS THE GOSPEL GOING IN THE LAST
00:14:05.64\00:14:07.98
DAYS - THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL -
"SAYING WITH A LOUD VOICE, 'FEAR
00:14:07.98\00:14:12.41
GOD AND GIVE GLORY TO HIM,
FOR THE HOUR OF HIS JUDGMENT HAS
00:14:12.41\00:14:15.92
COME;'" - THIS IS SOMETHING THAT
HAPPENS JUST BEFORE THE END.
00:14:15.92\00:14:19.89
AND IT SAYS, "WORSHIP HIM WHO
MADE HEAVEN AND EARTH, THE SEA
00:14:19.89\00:14:26.09
AND SPRINGS'" - OR THE FOUNTAINS
- "'OF WATER.'" DO YOU KNOW,
00:14:26.09\00:14:29.16
THAT'S AN EXACT QUOTE
FROM THE SABBATH COMMANDMENT?
00:14:29.16\00:14:31.47
'FOR IN SIX DAYS THE LORD MADE
THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH AND THE
00:14:31.47\00:14:34.40
SEA.' IT'S SAYING - IT'S CALLING
US, IN REVELATION, BACK TO THE
00:14:34.40\00:14:39.07
WORSHIP OF THE BEGINNING - THE
WORSHIP OF THE FIRST BELIEVERS -
00:14:39.07\00:14:43.71
GOD'S ORIGINAL PLAN - THE
WORSHIP THAT GOD DESIGNED - THE
00:14:43.71\00:14:48.55
SABBATH TRUTH HAS
BEEN LOST SIGHT OF.
00:14:48.55\00:14:50.85
AND THESE ANGELS - AND NOTICE
WHAT HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER THAT IN
00:14:50.85\00:14:53.19
REVELATION CHAPTER 14, VERSE 12,
IT SAYS, "HERE IS THE PATIENCE
00:14:53.19\00:14:56.73
OF THE SAINTS; HERE ARE THOSE
WHO KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD
00:14:56.73\00:15:00.63
AND THE FAITH OF JES."
AGAIN, RIGHT AFTER IT TALKS
00:15:00.63\00:15:03.90
ABOUT THE PRINCIPLE OF
WORSHIPING THE CREATOR WHO MADE.
00:15:03.90\00:15:07.90
EVERY SABBATH, WHEN IT SAYS,
'REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY TO
00:15:07.90\00:15:10.84
KEEP IT HOLY' IT SAYS, WHY?
00:15:10.84\00:15:12.37
'FOR IN SIX DAYS THE LORD MADE
THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH AND THE
00:15:12.37\00:15:15.68
SEA.' IT'S CALLING US
BACK TO REMEMBER OUR ORIGIN.
00:15:15.68\00:15:18.58
WHAT RIGHT DOES HE HAVE
TO ASK US TO WORSHIP HIM?
00:15:18.58\00:15:23.22
HE OWNS YOU BY CREATION,
AND HE OWNS YOU BY REDEMPTION.
00:15:23.22\00:15:27.36
HE OWNS YOU BECAUSE HE MADE
YOU AND THEN HE BOUGHT YOU BACK
00:15:27.36\00:15:29.19
AGAIN AFTER WE WERE KIDNAPPED.
AND SO, WHEN HE SAYS, 'WORSHIP
00:15:29.19\00:15:32.83
ME' AND HE TELLS US
WHEN TO WORSHIP HIM.
00:15:32.83\00:15:36.93
YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S - IT'S
ODD THAT - I JUST WANT YOU TO
00:15:36.93\00:15:41.20
KNOW, FRIENDS, I SHOULD MAKE
IT VERY CLEAR RIGHT HERE - I
00:15:41.20\00:15:43.94
BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE
GOOD SPIRIT-FILLED GODLY, LOVING
00:15:43.94\00:15:48.71
PEOPLE IN MANY DIFFERENT
CHURCHES AND THERE ARE PEOPLE
00:15:48.71\00:15:52.08
WHO MAYBE DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS
TRUTH AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE IN
00:15:52.08\00:15:55.22
HEAVEN BECAUSE THEY WALKED
IN THE LIGHT THAT THEY HAD.
00:15:55.22\00:15:58.29
BUT GOD WANTS US TO KNOW - THE
BIBLE TALKS ABOUT THE LIGHT THAT
00:15:58.29\00:16:01.39
GROWS BRIGHTER AND
BRIGHTER AS THE DAY APPROACHES.
00:16:01.39\00:16:05.83
GOD WANTS US TO KNOW THE TRUTH.
00:16:05.83\00:16:07.13
I'VE PREACHED IN BAPTIST
CHURCHES, METHODIST CHURCHES,
00:16:07.13\00:16:10.70
CHURCH OF CHRIST, ASSEMBLY OF
GOD, NAZARENE, FOUR SQUARE - I
00:16:10.70\00:16:15.27
CAN'T COUNT - HUNDREDS OF
DIFFERENT CHURCHES. AND I KNOW
00:16:15.27\00:16:19.44
THERE ARE GODLY, CHRISTIAN
PEOPLE. I'VE GOT FRIENDS FROM
00:16:19.44\00:16:21.21
MANY DIFFERENT PERSUASIONS.
I COULD NAME SEVERAL OF THE
00:16:21.21\00:16:23.88
EVANGELICAL LEADERS AND WE KNOW
EACH OTHER ON A FIRST-NAME BASIS
00:16:23.88\00:16:27.32
AND - GOOD
PEOPLE - LOVE THE LORD.
00:16:27.32\00:16:29.35
HEAVEN IS GOING TO BE FULL
OF PEOPLE THAT MAYBE DIDN'T
00:16:29.35\00:16:33.09
UNDERSTAND THE SABBATH TRUTH
BUT, YOU KNOW, AS WE GET NEAR
00:16:33.09\00:16:36.79
THE END OF TIME, THE LORD IS
CALLING HIS PEOPLE TO RETURN TO
00:16:36.79\00:16:40.33
THE FAITH THAT WAS ONCE
DELIVERED TO THE SAINTS.
00:16:40.33\00:16:43.53
HE WANTS TO HAVE HIS PEOPLE
COME TOGETHER ON BIBLE RELIGION.
00:16:43.53\00:16:47.74
AND SOME THINGS
HAVE BEEN LOST SIGHT OF.
00:16:47.74\00:16:50.37
AND EVERY TRUTH THAT WE
LOSE SIGHT OF, WE SUFFER FOR.
00:16:50.37\00:16:54.14
AND THAT'S WHY HE WANTS US TO
KNOW THESE THINGS, THAT WE MIGHT
00:16:54.14\00:16:56.28
BE BLESSED. HERE IS
THE PATIENCE OF THE SAINTS.
00:16:56.28\00:16:59.38
REVELATION 22:14 - LAST CHAPTER
IN THE BIBLE - WHAT DOES IT SAY?
00:16:59.38\00:17:02.78
"BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO DO HIS
COMMANDMENTS, THAT THEY MIGHT
00:17:02.78\00:17:05.79
HAVE A RIGHT TO THE TREE OF LIFE
AND ENTER IN THROUGH THE GATES
00:17:05.79\00:17:09.16
OF THE CITY." BLESSED ARE THOSE.
00:17:09.16\00:17:12.46
WHY AM I SHARING THIS
WITH YOU? TO BRING A CURSE?
00:17:12.46\00:17:16.20
OR TO BRING A
BLESSING? >>BLESSING.
00:17:16.20\00:17:18.10
>>I WAS DOING A SEMINAR LIKE
THIS ONCE SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND
00:17:18.10\00:17:22.50
A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY
WERE COMING AND ONE PASTOR WAS
00:17:22.50\00:17:25.74
THERE AND THIS - I COULD SEE HE
WAS VISIBLY UPSET BY WHAT I WAS
00:17:25.74\00:17:29.61
SAYING AND - I'VE BEEN SHARING
THIS FOR 30 YEARS AND THE MORE I
00:17:29.61\00:17:33.42
READ THE BIBLE, THE MORE
CONVINCED I AM IT'S BIBLICAL.
00:17:33.42\00:17:35.82
THAT'S ALL I NEED TO
KNOW IS 'AM I FOLLOWING JESUS?
00:17:35.82\00:17:37.55
IS IT BIBLICAL?' AND HE
INTERRUPTED THE PROGRAM.
00:17:37.55\00:17:40.09
HE STOOD UP AND SAID, 'BROTHER
DOUG,' - HE SAID, 'I JUST CAN'T
00:17:40.09\00:17:44.16
SIT HERE.' - HE SAID, 'YOU'RE
PUTTING THESE PEOPLE UNDER A
00:17:44.16\00:17:46.16
BURDEN OF WORKS.' AND I KNEW HIS
NAME, I SAID, 'BROTHER, WHY ARE
00:17:46.16\00:17:50.00
YOU SAYING THAT?' HE
SAID, 'BECAUSE YOU'RE TELLING
00:17:50.00\00:17:51.50
THEM TO KEEP THE SABBATH AND'
- HE SAID - 'YOU'RE PUTTING THEM
00:17:51.50\00:17:54.67
UNDER A BONDAGE OF WORKS.'
I SAID, 'WAIT A SECOND, I'M
00:17:54.67\00:17:57.17
TELLING THEM 'REMEMBER
THE SABBATH' AND TO REST.
00:17:57.17\00:17:58.97
YOU'RE TELLING THEM 'DON'T
REMEMBER.' YOU'RE TELLING THEM
00:17:58.97\00:18:00.68
TO WORK.' - I SA - 'YOU'RE
PUTTING THEM UNDER WORKS.
00:18:00.68\00:18:02.51
I'M TELLING THEM TO REST.'
(LAUGHTER) HE SAID, 'WE'RE UNDER
00:18:02.51\00:18:06.31
THE NEW COVENANT NOW. WE
DON'T NEED TO KEEP THE TEN
00:18:06.31\00:18:08.18
COMMANDMENTS ANYMORE.' I SAID,
'LET ME JUST GET THAT STRAIGHT.
00:18:08.18\00:18:11.12
DO YOU BELIEVE GOD WANTS US
TO KEEP THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?'
00:18:11.12\00:18:14.19
AND HE SAID, 'NO.' AND SOME
PEOPLE GASPED AND HE HEARD THEM
00:18:14.19\00:18:17.93
- BECAUSE THEY WERE
MEMBERS OF HIS CHURCH.
00:18:17.93\00:18:20.76
BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, DON'T
KILL, DON'T LIE, DON'T STEAL.
00:18:20.76\00:18:23.93
THAT'S OKAY NOW? AND
HE SAID, 'WELL, YES.' AND
00:18:23.93\00:18:28.77
THEN HE REALIZED, 'WELL,
THAT WOULD INCLUDE THE SABBATH.'
00:18:28.77\00:18:30.71
AND HE SAID, 'NINE OF THEM.'
(LAUGHTER) THIS REALLY HAPPENED.
00:18:30.71\00:18:36.81
AND I SAID, 'BROTHER, SO YOU'RE
TELLING ME THE ONE COMMANDMENT
00:18:36.81\00:18:39.11
YOU THINK WE SHOULD FORGET
IS THE ONLY ONE THAT BEGINS WITH
00:18:39.11\00:18:42.02
THE WORD 'REMEMBER'? I
SAID, 'THAT'S HARD FOR ME TO
00:18:42.02\00:18:46.02
UNDERSTAND.' IT'S HARD FOR ME -
00:18:46.02\00:18:48.56
I'M BEING VERY OPEN AND HONEST
WITH YOU, FRIENDS, BECAUSE WHEN
00:18:48.56\00:18:51.09
I FIRST LEARNED
THESE THINGS I WAS UPSET.
00:18:51.09\00:18:53.43
WHEN I FIRST CAME TO THE LORD, I
WENT TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY - NEVER
00:18:53.43\00:18:55.83
HEARD ABOUT THE SABBATH TRUTH -
AND, YOU KNOW, LET'S FACE IT, A
00:18:55.83\00:18:59.00
LOT OF PEOPLE, THEY COME OUT OF
CHURCH ON SUNDAY, THEY'RE MAD IF
00:18:59.00\00:19:01.80
THE PREACHER GOES LONG BECAUSE
THEY'RE GOING TO MISS THE
00:19:01.80\00:19:03.24
FOOTBALL GAME AND THERE'S A SALE
AT THE MALL AND THEY'VE GOT TO
00:19:03.24\00:19:06.74
MOW THEIR LAWN. >>YES.
00:19:06.74\00:19:09.61
>>EVEN PEOPLE THAT RECOGNIZE
SUNDAY DON'T REALLY KEEP IT AS
00:19:09.61\00:19:12.51
THE SABBATH ANYMORE. NOT
TOO MANY - THERE ARE SOME.
00:19:12.51\00:19:16.75
AND I COULD GO TO JUST ABOUT ANY
CHURCH IN THIS CITY OR AROUND
00:19:16.75\00:19:20.59
NORTH AMERICA AND I COULD PREACH
'HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER'
00:19:20.59\00:19:24.63
AND THEY'D ALL SAY, 'AMEN.' SOME
MIGHT BE CONVICTED, BUT THEY'D
00:19:24.63\00:19:27.56
AGREE. AND I
COULD SAY, 'DON'T COMMIT
00:19:27.56\00:19:30.13
ADULTERY' AND SEVERAL WOULD
BE CONVICTED BUT THEY'D AGREE -
00:19:30.13\00:19:32.47
IT'S IN THE BIBLE -
IT'S STILL A TEACHING.
00:19:32.47\00:19:34.94
AND I COULD GO THROUGH ALL OF
THE COMMANDMENTS AND THEY'D SAY
00:19:34.94\00:19:36.84
'AMEN' AND THEN I COULD SAY,
'AND REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY.
00:19:36.84\00:19:41.58
KEEP IT HOLY. THE SEVENTH DAY
IS THE SABBATH AND' - 'OH, OLD
00:19:41.58\00:19:45.51
COVENANT! WORKS!' WHAT?
I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT.
00:19:45.51\00:19:51.32
AND THIS - THAT'S A RELATIVELY
NEW REACTION THAT'S JUST
00:19:51.32\00:19:53.92
HAPPENED IN THE LAST
COUPLE OF HUNDRED YEARS.
00:19:53.92\00:19:55.76
ALRIGHT, LET'S KEEP GOING HERE.
I WANT TO QUOTE SOMETHING TO YOU
00:19:55.76\00:19:59.56
FROM DWIGHT MOODY TO
PROVE WHAT I WAS JUST SAYING.
00:19:59.56\00:20:01.86
DWIGHT MOODY, IN HIS BOOK
WEIGHED AND WANTING, P. 46
00:20:01.86\00:20:05.47
HE SAID, "I HONESTLY
BELIEVE THAT THIS COMMANDMENT" -
00:20:05.47\00:20:08.24
SPEAKING OF THE FOURTH
COMMANDMENT - "IS AS BINDING
00:20:08.24\00:20:10.47
TODAY AS IT EVER WAS.
I'VE TALKED WITH MEN WHO SAY IT
00:20:10.47\00:20:13.88
WAS ABROGATED, BUT THEY'VE NEVER
BEEN ABLE TO POINT TO ANY PLACE
00:20:13.88\00:20:17.21
IN THE BIBLE WHERE GOD REPEALED
IT. WHEN CHRIST WAS ON EARTH HE
00:20:17.21\00:20:20.68
DID NOTHING TO SET IT ASIDE."
MOODY WAS VERY CLEAR: IT'S ONE
00:20:20.68\00:20:24.42
OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
AND IT SHOULD STILL BE KEPT.
00:20:24.42\00:20:26.39
HE JUST THOUGHT IT
WAS A DIFFERENT DAY.
00:20:26.39\00:20:28.36
BUT RECENTLY, CHURCHES ARE NOT
ONLY SAYING THAT YOU SHOULDN'T
00:20:28.36\00:20:32.49
KEEP THE SABBATH, - THEY'RE
SAYING, 'YEAH, SATURDAY'S THE
00:20:32.49\00:20:34.10
SABBATH BUT WE DON'T REALLY NEED
TO KEEP A SABBATH ANYMORE.' AND
00:20:34.10\00:20:37.47
WE'RE SUFFERING FROM THAT BAD
THEOLOGY, IF YOU DON'T MIND MY
00:20:37.47\00:20:40.20
SAYING SO. WILL
ALL OF THE SAVED KEEP
00:20:40.20\00:20:43.84
THE SABBATH IN HEAVEN? >>YES.
00:20:43.84\00:20:45.74
>>IT SAYS THAT IN THE BIBLE.
YOU CAN READ IN ISAIAH CHAPTER
00:20:45.74\00:20:48.71
66, VERSE 22, "'FOR AS THE NEW
HEAVENS AND THE NEW EARTH WHICH
00:20:48.71\00:20:52.91
I WILL MAKE SHALL REMAIN BEFORE
ME,' SAYS THE LORD, 'SO SHALL
00:20:52.91\00:20:56.25
YOUR DESCENDANTS AND YOUR NAME
REMAIN. AND IT SHALL COME TO
00:20:56.25\00:20:59.62
PASS THAT FROM
ONE...SABBATH TO ANOTHER,
00:20:59.62\00:21:01.82
ALL FLESH SHALL COME
TO WORSHIP BEFORE ME,'" -
00:21:01.82\00:21:05.16
ALL FLESH - ALL JEWS? >>NO.
00:21:05.16\00:21:07.03
>>IT'S TALKING ABOUT EVERYBODY
WILL COME TO WORSHIP BEFORE HIM.
00:21:07.03\00:21:10.30
AND WHO DO YOU THINK
THE PREACHER'S GOING TO BE?
00:21:10.30\00:21:12.47
>>JESUS. >>THAT'D BE JESUS.
00:21:12.47\00:21:13.97
NOW, I WANT YOU TO NOTICE
THAT IN THE TIME OF ADAM GOD
00:21:13.97\00:21:19.54
ESTABLISHES THE SABBATH
IS MADE FOR MAN. THEN YOU'VE
00:21:19.54\00:21:22.74
GOT, DURING THE TIME OF MOSES,
WE KNOW THAT THEY KEPT IT THERE.
00:21:22.74\00:21:26.65
THEN, OF COURSE, CHRIST AND
THE APOSTLES KEPT THE SABBATH.
00:21:26.65\00:21:30.05
IT SAYS WE'RE GOING
TO KEEP IT IN HEAVEN.
00:21:30.05\00:21:32.39
WHY WOULD GOD NOT THINK THAT
WE NEED REST NOW AND A SPECIAL
00:21:32.39\00:21:37.36
BLESSED TIME FOR
WORSHIP? WHY WOULD HE CHANGE IT?
00:21:37.36\00:21:41.03
WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THAT
DAY? IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
00:21:41.03\00:21:47.14
WHEN I FIRST LEARNED THESE
THINGS, YOU KNOW WHAT CONVINCED
00:21:47.14\00:21:48.80
ME ABOUT THE SABBATH TRUTH? I
WENT TO - WHEN I FIRST LEARNED
00:21:48.80\00:21:54.21
THIS, I WENT TO SEVERAL OF
MY FRIENDS - I WENT TO CHURCH ON
00:21:54.21\00:21:56.44
SUNDAY - I ACTUALLY, WORSHIPED
WITH SEVERAL DIFFERENT GROUPS.
00:21:56.44\00:21:58.81
I WAS SO HUNGRY I WENT TO CHURCH
SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK - PRAYER
00:21:58.81\00:22:01.55
MEETINGS, HOME MEETINGS - I WAS
JUST - I WOULD STAY UP ALL NIGHT
00:22:01.55\00:22:04.32
SO I COULD GO TO AN
EARLY MORNING HOME MEETING.
00:22:04.32\00:22:06.25
THEY THOUGHT I WAS VERY HOLY
BECAUSE I'D BE THERE AT 5 IN THE
00:22:06.25\00:22:08.09
MORNING. I'D JUST BEEN UP ALL
NIGHT. (LAUGHTER) OTHERWISE, I
00:22:08.09\00:22:12.46
NEVER WOULD HAVE MADE IT.
BUT, I MEAN, I WAS JUST EATING
00:22:12.46\00:22:13.96
UP ALL THE CHRISTIAN
TEACHING I COULD GET.
00:22:13.96\00:22:16.26
WHEN I LEARNED ABOUT THE SABBATH
I WENT TO MY PASTORS AND I ASKED
00:22:16.26\00:22:18.93
TEN PASTORS, 'WHY DON'T
WE KEEP THE SABBATH ANYMORE?'
00:22:18.93\00:22:22.50
AND I GOT ELEVEN DIFFERENT
ANSWERS. AND THEY CONTRADICTED
00:22:22.50\00:22:25.31
EACH OTHER. THEY'D
SAY THINGS LIKE, 'WELL
00:22:25.31\00:22:28.68
DOUG, WE'RE NOT UNDER THE LAW
NOW, WE'RE UNDER GRACE.' AND SO
00:22:28.68\00:22:32.21
I SAID, 'DOES THAT MEAN WE DON'T
KEEP THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?'
00:22:32.21\00:22:35.22
AND THEY SAY, 'WELL, WE JUST
KEEP THE ONES THAT ARE MENTIONED
00:22:35.22\00:22:37.65
IN THE NEW TESTAMENT AND THE
SABBATH'S NOT REPEATED.' AND I
00:22:37.65\00:22:41.09
STUDIED THE BIBLE AND
FOUND OUT THAT'S A MYTH.
00:22:41.09\00:22:43.79
THE COMMANDMENT THAT IS NOT
REPEATED IN THE NEW TESTAMENT IS
00:22:43.79\00:22:46.46
THE THIRD COMMANDMENT - 'THOU
SHALT NOT TAKE THE NAME OF THE
00:22:46.46\00:22:49.03
LORD THY GOD IN VAIN FOR THE
LORD WILL NOT HOLD HIM GUILTLESS
00:22:49.03\00:22:51.87
THAT TAKETH HIS NAME IN VAIN.'
THAT'S NOT MENTIONED IN THE NEW
00:22:51.87\00:22:54.70
TESTAMENT. DOES THAT MEAN WE CAN
00:22:54.70\00:22:56.14
TAKE GOD'S NAME IN VAIN? >>NO.
00:22:56.14\00:22:58.07
>>OF COURSE, IT SAYS IN THE
LORD'S PRAYER, 'HALLOWED BY THY
00:22:58.07\00:23:00.08
NAME' - THAT'S CLOSE ENOUGH
FOR ME AND - BUT THE SABBATHS
00:23:00.08\00:23:05.11
MENTIONED MANY TIMES
IN THE NEW TESTAMENT.
00:23:05.11\00:23:07.18
IT'S LIKE ONE OF THOSE MYTHS
THAT YOU REPEAT IT AND PEOPLE -
00:23:07.18\00:23:09.18
SO THAT WAS ONE. THEN
SOMEONE SAID, 'WELL, WE
00:23:09.18\00:23:12.05
KEEP SUNDAY NOW IN HONOR
OF THE RESURRECTION.' I SAID,
00:23:12.05\00:23:14.62
'THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL
THOUGHT. WHERE'S THE SCRIPTURE?'
00:23:14.62\00:23:17.16
'WELL, WE DON'T REALLY HAVE A
SCRIPTURE THAT COMMANDS US; WE
00:23:17.16\00:23:20.86
HAVE A LONG-STANDING TRADITION.'
AND THEN ANOTHER GUY WAS REALLY
00:23:20.86\00:23:23.93
CREATIVE - HE SAID, 'BACK IN THE
DAYS OF JOSHUA THERE WAS THIS
00:23:23.93\00:23:26.94
BATTLE AND JOSHUA PRAYED AND
THE SUN STOOD STILL AND SATURDAY
00:23:26.94\00:23:31.14
TURNED INTO SUNDAY.
(LAUGHTER) I SAID, 'WELL, THAT'S
00:23:31.14\00:23:34.54
CLEVER BUT THEY STILL KEPT IT ON
SATURDAY FOR ANOTHER 1400 YEARS,
00:23:34.54\00:23:38.35
SO THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.' AND
THE MORE I ASKED THEN I GOT ALL
00:23:38.35\00:23:42.42
THESE DIFFERENT ANSWERS AND NONE
OF THEM AGREED AND THEY'D ALL
00:23:42.42\00:23:44.55
SAY, 'OH, THAT OTHER PASTOR'S
WRONG. THIS IS' - I SAID,
00:23:44.55\00:23:47.79
'SOMETHING'S - SOMETHING DOESN'T
PASS THE SNIFF TEST ABOUT THIS.
00:23:47.79\00:23:52.79
(LAUGHTER) DOES BREAKING JUST
ONE OF GOD'S COMMANDMENTS REALLY
00:23:52.79\00:23:55.50
MATTER? >>YES.
00:23:55.50\00:23:56.90
>>WELL, YOU CAN READ THERE,
IN THE BOOK OF JAMES, CHAPTER 2,
00:23:56.90\00:24:00.37
VERSE 10, "FOR WHOEVER WILL KEEP
THE WHOLE W AND YET STUMBLE IN
00:24:00.37\00:24:04.41
ONE POINT HE IS GUILTY OF ALL."
YOU CAN'T STAND BEFORE THE JUDGE
00:24:04.41\00:24:09.14
AND SAY, 'NOW, YOUR HONOR, I
REALIZE I'M GUILTY OF MURDER,
00:24:09.14\00:24:11.48
BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW
I'VE NEVER SHOPLIFTED BEFORE.'
00:24:11.48\00:24:13.65
(LAUGHTER) 'AND I'VE
ALWAYS BEEN FAITHFUL TO MY WIFE.
00:24:13.65\00:24:18.15
AND I DON'T USE GOD'S NAME -
JUST ONE LITTLE MURDER - 90% -
00:24:18.15\00:24:21.59
HOW'S THAT?' NO, GOD'S
NOT GIVING US A DISCOUNT.
00:24:21.59\00:24:26.96
YOU NOTICE THEY'RE NOT
CALLED THE TEN SUGGESTIONS?
00:24:26.96\00:24:29.50
(LAUGHTER) OR THE
TEN RECOMMENDATIONS?
00:24:29.50\00:24:33.54
JESUS SAID, IN JOHN 14,
"IF YOU LOVE ME" - DO WHAT?
00:24:33.54\00:24:38.41
>>KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS.
00:24:38.41\00:24:39.71
>>IT SAYS IF YOU LOVE
HIM, GIVE HIM YOUR TIME.
00:24:39.71\00:24:42.41
YOU KNOW, THE MOST PRECIOUS
THING YOU'VE GOT IS YOUR TIME.
00:24:42.41\00:24:45.95
MY FATHER WAS A MILLIONAIRE AND
HE NEVER HAD ANY TIME FOR HIS
00:24:45.95\00:24:51.42
KIDS BECAUSE HE WAS
WORKING ALL THE TIME.
00:24:51.42\00:24:53.59
IT WAS EASIER FOR HIM TO GIVE US
MONEY THAN IT WAS TO GIVE US HIS
00:24:53.59\00:24:56.79
TIME. WHAT DOES GOD WANT?
DOES HE WANT OUR OFFERINGS
00:24:56.79\00:25:00.16
OR DOES HE WANT
OUR HEART? >>OUHEART.
00:25:00.16\00:25:01.83
>>AND, YOU KNOW, THE LORD SAYS,
'IF YOU LOVE ME, DO YOU HAVE ANY
00:25:01.83\00:25:05.67
TIME FOR ME?' OR ARE WE
SO BUSY? REMEMBER THE SABBATH
00:25:05.67\00:25:11.31
DAY TO KEEP IT HOLY.
HE'S BLESSED THIS DAY AND HE
00:25:11.31\00:25:14.54
WANTS IT TO BE A
BLESSING FOR YOU.
00:25:14.54\00:25:16.91
JESUS HAS GIVEN US THE SABBATH
TRUTH AS A SIGN OF HIS POWER TO
00:25:16.91\00:25:20.58
CREATE US, TO SANCTIFY
US, AND TO RECREATE US.
00:25:20.58\00:25:24.85
AND IT'S GOING TO BE A SPECIAL
ISSUE IN THE LAST DAYS, FRIENDS.
00:25:24.85\00:25:28.46
YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED, AS YOU
KEEP COMING, TO LEARN THAT THIS
00:25:28.46\00:25:31.19
IS THE LAST DAY OF PROPHECY.
THIS IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING
00:25:31.19\00:25:34.20
THAT IS GOING TO BE GREATLY
DISPUTED. THE LAW OF GOD.
00:25:34.20\00:25:36.83
NOTICE: THE BOOK OF DANIEL
THERE - CHAPTER 3 - THERE'S A
00:25:36.83\00:25:41.27
GOVERNMENT LAW AND THEN THERE'S
A LAW THAT SAYS YOU DON'T
00:25:41.27\00:25:44.64
WORSHIP IDOLS.
SHADRACH, MESCHACH, AND ABEDNEGO
00:25:44.64\00:25:47.44
HAVE TO DECIDE WHICH GOD
THEY'RE GOING TO SERVE: THE LAW
00:25:47.44\00:25:50.78
OF GOD OR THE LAW OF MAN?
DANIEL CHAPTER 6, THE KING SAYS,
00:25:50.78\00:25:55.02
'DON'T PRAY TO
ANYONE BUT ME FOR 30 DAYS.
00:25:55.02\00:25:57.89
WELL, THE FIRST COMMANDMENT
SAYS, 'DON'T HAVE OTHER GODS.'
00:25:57.89\00:26:00.62
DANIEL'S GOT TO DECIDE ' I
GOING TO PUT THE LAW OF GOD
00:26:00.62\00:26:02.89
ABOVE THE LAW OF THE
GOVERNMENT - THE LAW OF MAN?'
00:26:02.89\00:26:05.93
AND THEN YOU GO TO
THE BOOK OF ESTHER.
00:26:05.93\00:26:07.83
THOSE WHO DID NOT BOW DOWN TO
HAMAN - HE BUILT A GALLOWS FOR
00:26:07.83\00:26:10.93
THEM. MORDECAI WOULD NOT. HE
HAD TO MAKE A DECISION: 'AM I
00:26:10.93\00:26:16.47
GOING TO OBEY THE LAW
OF GOD OR THE LAW OF MAN?'
00:26:16.47\00:26:18.41
WHY WOULD THE CHURCH
THINK THAT THINGS HAVE CHANGED?
00:26:18.41\00:26:22.14
OUR FAITH IS GOING TO BE TESTED
ON THIS AND MANY OTHER FRONTS IN
00:26:22.14\00:26:25.41
THE LAST DAYS. THE BOTTOM LINE
IS IF YOU LOVE JESUS, HE SAYS,
00:26:25.41\00:26:29.88
'KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS.' >>AMEN.
00:26:29.88\00:26:31.89
