SOMETHING IN THE FOREHEAD,
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT?
00:01:15.24\00:01:17.37

ABOUT, 'OH, YOU DON'T WANT
00:01:17.41\00:01:20.41
ANYTHING IN YOUR FOREHEAD IN
THE LAST DAYS.' IF YOU STUDY THE
00:01:20.44\00:01:23.11

00:01:26.68\00:01:29.08
YOU'VE EITHER GOT THE MARK OF
THE BEAST OR YOU HAVE THE SEAL
00:01:29.12\00:01:31.72

>>TONIGHT OUR PRESENTATION
IS GOING TO BE DEALING WITH THE
00:01:58.18\00:02:00.52
SUBJECT OF THE 144,000, WHICH
YOU FIND IN CHAPTER 7 AND 14 OF
00:02:00.55\00:02:07.52
REVELATION, AND THE SEAL OF
GOD AND IT PICTURES A TIME WHEN
00:02:07.56\00:02:13.56
ANGELS ARE HOLDING
BACK WINDS OF STRIFE.
00:02:13.60\00:02:16.83
AND I REMEMBER HEARING A STORY
ABOUT - I THINK IT WAS IN 2012,
00:02:16.87\00:02:22.80
IN MARCH, PAUL WALDEN HAD
HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTER CALL.
00:02:22.84\00:02:26.81
THEY WERE AT WORK AND THEY
SAID, 'HAVE YOU SEEN THE NEWS?
00:02:26.84\00:02:28.44
THERE'S A TERRIBLE STREAM
OF TORNADOES THAT ARE COMING
00:02:28.48\00:02:32.11
THROUGH.' HE NEVER PAID MUCH
ATTENTION TO STORM WARNINGS, BUT
00:02:32.15\00:02:35.98
HE THOUGHT HE OUGHT TO STEP
OUTSIDE AND LOOK AT THE SKY.
00:02:36.02\00:02:38.35
AND, RIGHT WHEN HE WENT OUT TO
LOOK UP AT THE SKY, HE SAW THIS
00:02:38.39\00:02:41.46
GREAT BIG GRAY WALL THAT
WAS MOVING TOWARDS HIM, THAT WAS
00:02:41.49\00:02:45.06
CHURNING UP HIS
NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE.
00:02:45.09\00:02:47.60
HE THOUGHT, 'OH,
THIS IS THE REAL THING.'
00:02:47.66\00:02:49.56
HE RAN INSIDE, HE
GRABBED A COUPLE OF DOGS, AND HE
00:02:49.60\00:02:52.40
JUMPED IN THE CLOSET
RIGHT BY THEIR STAIRCASE.
00:02:52.43\00:02:55.70
AND THEN IT HIT. YOU'VE
HEARD THE EXPRESSION 'IT
00:02:55.74\00:02:58.37
SOUNDS LIKE A FREIGHT
TRAIN IS GOING BY' WHEN YOU
00:02:58.41\00:03:01.48
HAVE A TORNADO GO BY?
AND THE WHOLE HOUSE BEGAN TO
00:03:01.51\00:03:05.21
SHAKE AND HE HAD BOTH HANDS
ON THE DOOR, WITH ALL OF HIS
00:03:05.25\00:03:09.58
STRENGTH HE WAS HANGING ON AND
TRYING TO KEEP THE DOOR SHUT AS
00:03:09.62\00:03:13.02
THE SUCTION OF THE STORM
WAS TRYING TO PULL THE DOOR OPEN
00:03:13.05\00:03:16.49
AND SUCK OUT HIM AND HIS DOGS.
AND IT WASN'T VERY LONG BEFORE
00:03:16.52\00:03:20.53
IT STOPPED, THE NOISE SETTLED,
IT MOVED DOWN AND PASSED AWAY,
00:03:20.56\00:03:24.50
AND HE FINALLY GOT THE COURAGE
TO OPEN THE DOOR AND THIS IS A
00:03:24.53\00:03:26.47
PICTURE OF WHAT HE SAW
WHEN HE STEPPED OUTSIDE.
00:03:26.50\00:03:30.14
THE HOUSE WAS GONE, HE WALKED
OUT OF THE CLOSET AND HE SAW
00:03:30.17\00:03:32.54
BLUE SKY - EVERYTHING WAS GONE
EXCEPT THE CLOSET AND SOME OF
00:03:32.57\00:03:36.58
THE STAIRS AND HE SAID IT WASN'T
LONG AFTER HE WALKED OUTSIDE AND
00:03:36.61\00:03:41.02
THE CLOSET FELL OVER AND THEN
HAIL BEGAN TO FALL AND HE FELT
00:03:41.05\00:03:44.09
LIKE HE WAS GETTING BEATEN UP
BY A BASEBALL BAT AND HE FOUND A
00:03:44.12\00:03:48.56
CONTAINER THAT HELD VACUUM
CLEANING SUPPLIES AND PUT IT ON
00:03:48.59\00:03:51.69
HIS HEAD, HE SAID, OR HE
WOULD HAVE DIED FROM THE HAIL.
00:03:51.73\00:03:54.83
AND HIS WIFE ALWAYS TEASES
HIM ABOUT WALKING AROUND WITH A
00:03:54.86\00:03:58.27
VACUUM CLEANER ACCESSORY BOX
ON HIS HEAD TO SAVE HIS LIFE.
00:03:58.30\00:04:03.34
BUT HE WAS TRYING
TO HOLD BACK THE STORM.
00:04:03.37\00:04:08.61
WELL, HUMANS AREN'T VERY GOOD
AT THAT, ANGELS DO A GOOD JOB.
00:04:08.64\00:04:12.28
REVELATION
PICTURES THIS HAPPENING.
00:04:12.31\00:04:14.42
LET'S START WITH THE 144,000 IN
CHAPTER 7 OF REVELATION AND YOU
00:04:14.45\00:04:18.89
CAN BEGIN WITH VERSE 1 - CHAPTER
7, VERSE 1, "AFTER THESE THINGS
00:04:18.92\00:04:24.26
I SAW FOUR ANGELS STANDING AT
THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH,"
00:04:24.29\00:04:28.30
- NOW WHAT DO THE
FOUR ANGELS REPRESENT?
00:04:28.33\00:04:29.96
THE DIVISIONS OF THE COMPASS.
IT'S TALKING ABOUT SIMPLY NORTH,
00:04:30.00\00:04:32.93
SOUTH, EAST, AND WEST -
IT'S A UNIVERSAL PROBLEM.
00:04:32.97\00:04:36.40
IT'S A UNIVERSAL SEALING THAT'S
GOING TO TAKE PLACE - "HOLDING
00:04:36.44\00:04:41.54
THE FOUR WINDS OF THE EARTH,
THAT THE WIND SHOULD NOT BLOW ON
00:04:41.58\00:04:44.88
THE EARTH, ON THE
SEA, OR ON ANY TREE."
00:04:44.91\00:04:48.02
THAT'S TALKING ABOUT EVERYTHING
ON THE PLANET - THE EARTH, THE
00:04:48.05\00:04:50.99
SEA, THE TREES - UNTIL SOMETHING
HAPPENS - IT'S GOING TO BLOW
00:04:51.02\00:04:53.66
EVENTUALLY. THOSE
WINDS OF STRIFE ARE REALLY
00:04:53.69\00:04:56.29
- THEY'RE KIND OF SUMMARIZED
IN THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES.
00:04:56.32\00:05:01.06
"THEN I SAW ANOTHER ANGEL
ASCENDING FROM THE EAST, HAVING
00:05:01.10\00:05:04.57
THE SEAL OF THE LIVING
GOD. AND HE CRIED WITH A LOUD
00:05:04.60\00:05:08.37
VOICE...SAYING, 'DO NOT HARM THE
EARTH, THE SEA OR THE TREES TILL
00:05:08.40\00:05:13.91
WE HAVE SEALED THE SERVANTS
OF OUR GOD ON THEIR FOREHEADS."
00:05:13.94\00:05:18.98
AND IT GOES ON TO SAY, 'I HEARD
THE NUMBER OF THOSE THAT WERE
00:05:19.01\00:05:21.35
SEALED AND IT WAS 144,000 -
12,000 FROM EACH OF THE TWELVE
00:05:21.38\00:05:27.56
TRIBES OF ISRAEL.' AND IT'S AN
INTERESTING LIST THAT IS GIVEN.
00:05:27.59\00:05:31.29
THEN YOU'LL ALSO READ IN CHAPTER
14 OF REVELATION, YOU FIND THE
00:05:31.33\00:05:34.73
SECOND REFERENCE TO THE 144,000
AND IT GIVES US A LITTLE MORE
00:05:34.76\00:05:39.47
INFORMATION ABOUT THEM.
"THEN I LOOKED, AND BEHOLD,
00:05:39.50\00:05:42.44
A LAMB" - THIS IS VERSE 1
OF CHAPTER 14 - REVELATION - "A
00:05:42.47\00:05:46.21
LAMB STANDING ON MOUNT ZION,
AND WITH HIM ONE HUNDRED AND
00:05:46.24\00:05:50.15
FORTY-FOUR THOUSAND,
HAVING HIS FATHER'S NAME WRITTEN
00:05:50.18\00:05:53.15
ON THEIR FOREHEADS." -
WELL, 7 SAID IT WAS THE
00:05:53.18\00:05:54.88
SEAL OF GOD, HERE IT
SAYS HIS FATHER'S NAME.
00:05:54.92\00:05:57.62
THEY MUST BE SIMILAR - "AND I
HEARD A VOICE FROM HEAVEN, LIKE
00:05:57.65\00:06:00.86
THE VOICE OF MANY WATERS, AND
LIKE THE VOICE OF LOUD THUNDER."
00:06:00.89\00:06:04.39
AND I HEARD THE SOUND OF
HARPS AND HARPISTS PLAYING THEIR
00:06:04.43\00:06:07.10
HARPS. THEY SANG
AS IT WERE A NEW SONG
00:06:07.13\00:06:10.07
BEFORE THE THRONE, BEFORE THE
FOUR LIVING CREATURES, AND THE
00:06:10.10\00:06:13.10
ELDERS, AND NO ONE COULD LEARN
THAT SONG EXCEPT THE HUNDRED AND
00:06:13.13\00:06:16.60
FORTY-FOUR THOUSAND WHO
WERE REDEEMED FROM THE EARTH.
00:06:16.64\00:06:19.94
THESE ARE THE ONES WHO WERE NOT
DEFILED WITH WOMEN, FOR THEY ARE
00:06:19.97\00:06:24.11
VIRGINS." - SO
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? -
00:06:24.15\00:06:26.85
"THESE ARE THE ONES WHO FOLLOW
THE LAMB WHEREVER HE GOES.
00:06:26.88\00:06:30.19
THEY WERE REDEEMED FROM AMONG
MEN BEING THE FIRSTFRUITS TO GOD
00:06:30.22\00:06:33.89
AND TO THE LAMB AND IN THEIR
MOUTH WAS FOUND NO DECEIT FOR
00:06:33.92\00:06:37.79
THEY ARE WITHOUT FAULT
BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD."
00:06:37.83\00:06:40.96
AND THEN IT GOES ON TO ANOTHER
PASSAGE THAT IS RELATED, BUT
00:06:40.96\00:06:44.37
WE'LL PAUSE RIGHT THERE.
SO YOU'VE GOT THE 144,000 ARE
00:06:44.40\00:06:47.37
OBVIOUSLY A VERY
IMPORTANT GROUP. YOU'VE GOT -
00:06:47.40\00:06:50.37
CHAPTER 7 ADDRESSES THEM,
CHAPTER 14 ADDRESSES THEM.
00:06:50.41\00:06:52.87
THEY'RE VERY CLOSE TO THE LORD.
THEY RECEIVE A SPECIAL SEAL.
00:06:52.91\00:06:55.84
NOW, TYPICALLY, IF YOU TALK
TO SOMEBODY ABOUT REVELATION AND
00:06:55.88\00:06:59.55
SOMETHING IN THE FOREHEAD,
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT?
00:06:59.58\00:07:02.98
EVERYBODY AUTOMATICALLY THINKS
ABOUT, 'OH, YOU DON'T WANT
00:07:03.02\00:07:06.42
ANYTHING IN YOUR
FOREHEAD IN THE LAST DAYS.
00:07:06.45\00:07:08.32
SOMEONE TRIES TO PUT ANYTHING
IN YOUR FOREHEAD, RUN THE OTHER
00:07:08.36\00:07:10.46
WAY.' BUT IF YOU STUDY
THE BIBLE, YOU'LL FIND OUT, IN
00:07:10.49\00:07:14.83
REVELATION, EVERYBODY'S GOT
SOMETHING IN THEIR FOREHEADS IN
00:07:14.86\00:07:18.03
THE LAST DAYS. YOU'VE
EITHER GOT THE MARK OF
00:07:18.07\00:07:20.74
THE BEAST OR YOU'VE
GOT THE SEAL OF GOD.
00:07:20.77\00:07:23.10
YOU JUST WANT TO MAKE
SURE YOU'VE GOT THE RIGHT MARK.
00:07:23.14\00:07:25.17
>>AMEN. >>AND,
SORT OF, WITH THAT AS AN
00:07:25.21\00:07:27.41
INTRODUCTION, LET'S GO THROUGH
SOME OF OUR QUESTIONS NOW THAT
00:07:27.44\00:07:30.55
TALK ABOUT THE
144,000 AND THE SEAL OF GOD.
00:07:30.58\00:07:34.52
FIRST QUESTION: WHAT CLUES DOES
REVELATION PROVIDE TO HELP US
00:07:34.55\00:07:38.59
IDENTIFY WHO ARE THE 144,000?
WELL, THERE'S SEVERAL THINGS,
00:07:38.62\00:07:44.79
FIRST OF ALL IT SAYS
THERE'S 12,000 FROM THE TWELVE
00:07:44.83\00:07:47.40
TRIBES OF ISRAEL. NOW
THE LIST OF TRIBES THAT ARE
00:07:47.40\00:07:51.23
GIVEN IN REVELATION IS
DIFFERENT FROM ANY OTHER
00:07:51.27\00:07:54.80
LIST IN THE BIBLE. THE
TWELVE TRIBES ARE LISTED
00:07:54.84\00:07:57.61
MANY TIMES IN THE BIBLE.
THEY USUALLY START WITH THE
00:07:57.64\00:08:00.48
FIRSTBORN WHO WAS
JUDAH - I'M SORRY REUBEN.
00:08:00.51\00:08:03.48
BUT, IN REVELATION,
IT STARTS WITH JUDAH.
00:08:03.51\00:08:06.25
IT'S DIFFERENT.
IT'S A DIFFERENT LIST.
00:08:06.28\00:08:08.65
YOU'LL FIND THAT IT TALKS ABOUT
JOSEPH, BUT EPHRAIM IS LEFT OUT.
00:08:08.68\00:08:16.56
AND SO IT'S A UNIQUE LIST AND
YOU NEED TO JUST SAY, 'WHAT'S
00:08:16.59\00:08:20.56
GOING ON HERE? ARE
THESE REAL, LITERAL
00:08:20.60\00:08:23.06
JEWS IT'S TALKING ABOUT?'
IN THE LAST DAYS HE'S GOING TO
00:08:23.10\00:08:25.50
GET 12,000 FROM EACH OF THE
TRIBES. IF YOU KNOW YOUR JEWISH
00:08:25.53\00:08:28.84
HISTORY, YOU'LL KNOW THAT
SOME OF THE TRIBES HAD VERY FEW
00:08:28.87\00:08:30.71
PEOPLE AND JUDAH HAD LOTS OF
PEOPLE - HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS -
00:08:30.74\00:08:35.38
AND SO, THE IDEA OF GETTING
AN EVEN NUMBER FROM EACH OF THE
00:08:35.41\00:08:38.55
TRIBES. THAT WOULD BE
INTERESTING, BUT I BELIEVE
00:08:38.58\00:08:41.42
THEY'RE ACTUALLY TALKING ABOUT
SPIRITUAL JEWS. THAT MEANS IT
00:08:41.45\00:08:44.05
CAN INCLUDE LITERAL JEWS AND IT
CAN INCLUDE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN
00:08:44.09\00:08:47.36
ADOPTED INTO THE SEED OF ABRAHAM
BY ACCEPTING CHRIST. LET ME TELL
00:08:47.39\00:08:53.33
YOU WHY. YOU READ IN THE
BIBLE IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, FOR
00:08:53.36\00:08:56.83
INSTANCE, GO TO 2
KINGS 17, VERSE 6.
00:08:56.87\00:09:00.47
TEN OF THE TRIBES WERE CONQUERED
BY THE ASSYRIANS WAY BACK,
00:09:00.50\00:09:05.67
HUNDREDS OF YEARS
BEFORE JESUS WAS BORN.
00:09:05.71\00:09:08.81
YOU READ THERE, "IN THE NINTH
YEAR OF HOSHEA, THE KING OF
00:09:08.84\00:09:12.91
ASSYRIA TOOK SAMARIA" - THAT'S
THE CAPITAL OF ISRAEL - THE
00:09:12.95\00:09:15.88
NORTHERN KINGDOM - "AND CARRIED
ISRAEL" - THOSE ARE THE TEN
00:09:15.92\00:09:18.25
TRIBES - "AWAY TO ASSYRIA."
NOW, LATER, THE SOUTHERN KINGDOM
00:09:18.29\00:09:22.79
OF JUDAH, THEY WERE CARRIED
TO BABYLON, BUT THEY CAME BACK.
00:09:22.82\00:09:26.03
THOSE CARRIED OFF TO
ASSYRIA LARGELY INTERMARRIED AND
00:09:26.06\00:09:30.30
DISAPPEARED AS
A DISTINCT PEOPLE.
00:09:30.33\00:09:32.63
AND SO, WHEN REVELATION
SAYS 12,000 FROM THE TRIBE OF
00:09:32.67\00:09:36.17
MANASSEH, CAN YOU PLEASE SHOW
ME SOMEBODY FROM THE TRIBE OF
00:09:36.20\00:09:39.54
MANASSEH TODAY? OR
ISSACHAR OR ZEBULUN?
00:09:39.57\00:09:44.28
WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT JEWS, YOU'RE
TYPICALLY TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE
00:09:44.31\00:09:46.82
WHO ARE FROM LEVI,
JUDAH, AND BENJAMIN.
00:09:46.85\00:09:50.49
YOU READ THE BIBLE, LONG BEFORE
JESUS WAS BORN IT TELLS EXACTLY
00:09:50.52\00:09:53.49
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TRIBES.
00:09:53.52\00:09:54.76
SOME OF THEM CAME
BACK DOWN AND JOINED JUDAH.
00:09:54.79\00:09:57.83
THEY INTERMARRIED
WITH THE TRIBE OF JUDAH.
00:09:57.86\00:10:00.30
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO FIND PEOPLE
WHO ARE PUREBRED PEOPLE FROM
00:10:00.33\00:10:04.10
ZEBULON, MANASSEH, ISSACHAR AND
SO FORTH. SO, WHAT DOES IT MEAN
00:10:04.13\00:10:10.01
WHEN IT SAYS THAT?
GALATIANS 3:29, "AND IF YOU ARE
00:10:10.04\00:10:14.38
CHRIST'S, THEN YOU ARE ABRAHAM'S
SEED, AND HEIRS ACCORDING
00:10:14.41\00:10:18.35
TO THE PROMISE." ALL
THE PROMISES GOD MADE TO THE
00:10:18.38\00:10:20.32
JEWS IN THE BIBLE, NEW AND
OLD TESTAMENT, YOU CAN CLAIM
00:10:20.35\00:10:23.49
THROUGH CHRIST, AMEN?
THAT'S A WONDERFUL PROMISE -
00:10:23.52\00:10:26.69
PAUL SAID THAT -
THIS IS NEW TESTAMENT.
00:10:26.72\00:10:28.22
PAUL SAID, IN ROMANS 2:28 AND
29, "FOR HE IS NOT A JEW WHICH
00:10:28.26\00:10:32.26
IS ONE OUTWARDLY; NEITHER
IS THAT CIRCUMCISION, WHICH IS
00:10:32.29\00:10:36.13
OUTWARD IN THE FLESH, BUT HE
IS A JEW, WHICH IS ONE INWARDLY;
00:10:36.16\00:10:40.44
AND CIRCUMCISION IS
THAT OF THE HEART..."
00:10:40.47\00:10:42.84
THIS WAS THE MESSAGE OF JESUS
AND JOHN THE BAPTIST - THEY SAID
00:10:42.87\00:10:45.61
TO THEIR JEWISH BRETHREN, 'DO
NOT THINK TO SAY WITHIN YOURSELF
00:10:45.64\00:10:49.31
'GOD MUST SAVE US, WE ARE
CHILDREN OF ABRAHAM.' GOD IS
00:10:49.34\00:10:51.98
ABLE TO RAISE UP FROM THE STONES
CHILDREN UNTO ABRAHAM.' AND
00:10:52.01\00:10:55.82
JESUS SAID, 'MANY WILL COME FROM
THE EAST AND THE WEST AND SIT
00:10:55.85\00:10:58.72
DOWN IN THE KINGDOM WITH
ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB' -
00:10:58.75\00:11:01.32
MEANING THE GENTILES COMING FROM
THE EAST AND THE WEST - AND THE
00:11:01.36\00:11:04.46
NATURAL CHILDREN, SOME OF THEM
WHO DON'T BELIEVE, WILL BE IN
00:11:04.49\00:11:07.13
OUTER DARKNESS. SO THE
NEW TESTAMENT IS REALLY
00:11:07.13\00:11:10.73
CLEAR THAT NOW THE GOSPEL GOES
TO EVERYBODY - WHOSOEVER WILL.
00:11:10.77\00:11:16.24
GOD IS NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS.
SO THE IDEA THAT TO BE ONE OF
00:11:16.27\00:11:19.67
THE 144,000 YOU MUST
HAVE A DNA TEST, IS NOT TAUGHT
00:11:19.71\00:11:23.68
IN THE BIBLE. GOD DOES
NOT DISCRIMINATE THAT WAY.
00:11:23.71\00:11:26.88
IF YOU ARE ABRAHAM'S SEED,
YOU ARE HEIRS ACCORDING TO THE
00:11:26.92\00:11:30.92
PROMISE, OKAY? >>YOU
KNOW, WE ALL BELIEVE THAT
00:11:30.95\00:11:33.89
WE ARE SAVED UNDER THE PROMISE
OF THE NEW COVENANT, BUT DID YOU
00:11:33.92\00:11:37.29
KNOW THAT GOD ONLY
MAKES THAT COVENANT WITH THE
00:11:37.33\00:11:39.66
HOUSE OF ISRAEL? SO
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
00:11:39.69\00:11:42.66
ONLY JEWS CAN BE SAVED?
OR IS THERE A WAY THAT EVERY
00:11:42.70\00:11:45.60
PERSON CAN BECOME A SPIRITUAL
JEW AND ENJOY THE PROMISES THAT
00:11:45.63\00:11:49.60
GOD MADE TO
ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB.
00:11:49.64\00:11:51.84

00:12:18.80\00:12:22.94
SO WHY DOES IT GIVE THIS LIST
AND WHY IS THE LIST UNIQUE IN
00:12:22.97\00:12:27.01
REVELATION CHAPTER
7? I'M GOING TO READ
00:12:27.04\00:12:29.81
SOMETHING TO YOU. YOU
KNOW, IN HEBREW, WHEN THEY
00:12:29.84\00:12:32.45
NAME SOMEONE,
EVERY NAME HAD A MEANING.
00:12:32.48\00:12:35.28
YOU READ THE STORY ABOUT WHEN,
YOU KNOW, JACOB ENDED UP WITH
00:12:35.32\00:12:37.65
FOUR WIVES. HE
ONLY WANTED RACHEL.
00:12:37.69\00:12:39.99
HE ENDED UP WITH RACHEL AND LEAH
AND BILHAH AND ZILPAH, THEIR
00:12:40.02\00:12:43.26
HANDMAIDS, AND EVERY TIME -
THEY'RE ALL FIGHTING OVER HIS
00:12:43.29\00:12:46.53
ATTENTION - EVERY TIME THEY GOT
PREGNANT AND HAD A CHILD, THE
00:12:46.56\00:12:49.00
MOTHERS WOULD NAME THE CHILD
AND MAKE A STATEMENT BECAUSE THE
00:12:49.03\00:12:52.17
NAMES ALL MEAN
SOMETHING IN HEBREW.
00:12:52.20\00:12:55.30
THE NAME JUDAH MEANS 'I WILL
PRAISE THE LORD' - AND WE'RE
00:12:55.34\00:12:57.64
PUTTING THIS UP FOR
THE - YOU ON THE SCREEN.
00:12:57.67\00:13:00.11
REUBEN MEANS 'HE HAS LOOKED ON
ME' GAD - 'GIVEN GOOD FORTUNE' -
00:13:00.14\00:13:03.98
ASHER MEANS 'HAPPY AM I' -
NAPHTALI MEANS 'MY WRESTLING'
00:13:04.01\00:13:07.78
MANASSEH MEANS 'MAKING ME TO
FORGET.' IT SAYS, SIMEON MEANS
00:13:07.82\00:13:12.02
'GOD HEARS ME' - LEVI -
'ATTACHED TO ME' - ISSACHAR -
00:13:12.05\00:13:16.52
'PURCHASED ME' - 'DWELLING' IS
ZEBULUN - JOSEPH - 'GOD WILL ADD
00:13:16.56\00:13:20.66
TO ME' - BENJAMIN - 'SON
OF HIS RIGHT HAND.' NOW WHAT'S
00:13:20.70\00:13:23.90
FASCINATING IS, IF YOU TAKE
THESE TWELVE NAMES, LINE THEIR
00:13:23.93\00:13:29.27
MEANINGS UP THE WAY THEY'RE
GIVEN THERE IN REVELATION, THIS
00:13:29.30\00:13:32.04
IS WHAT IT SAYS - LOOK AT THIS
PARAGRAPH: "I WILL PRAISE THE
00:13:32.07\00:13:35.51
LORD FOR HE HAS LOOKED ON ME AND
GRANTED GOOD FORTUNE I AM HAPPY
00:13:35.54\00:13:40.65
BECAUSE MY WRESTLING,
GOD IS MAKING ME TO FORGET.
00:13:40.68\00:13:44.42
GOD HEARS ME AND IS
ATTACHED" - OR JOINED - "TO ME."
00:13:44.45\00:13:47.89
- IT'S LIKE A MARRIAGE - "HE HAS
PURCHASED ME A DWELLING" - I'VE
00:13:47.92\00:13:50.49
GONE TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU
- "AND WILL ADD TO ME THE SON OF
00:13:50.53\00:13:53.50
HIS RIGHT HAND."
- MEANING CHRIST.
00:13:53.53\00:13:56.67
THE WHOLE STORY OF SALVATION
IS TOLD IN THE NAMES, THE WAY
00:13:56.70\00:14:01.24
THEY'RE ARRANGED
THERE IN REVELATION.
00:14:01.27\00:14:03.61
IT'S THE STORY OF REDEMPTION.
ISN'T THAT BEAUTIFUL?
00:14:03.64\00:14:06.34
THAT'S WHY THE BIBLE IS
SUCH AN INCREDIBLE BOOK.
00:14:06.37\00:14:08.68
IT TELLS US THE
144,000 HAVE SPECIAL ROBES.
00:14:08.71\00:14:12.55
THE BIBLE TELLS US THEY HAVE
WASHED THEIR ROBES AND MADE THEM
00:14:12.58\00:14:15.32
WHITE IN THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB,
SYMBOLIZING THEY ARE COVERED
00:14:15.35\00:14:19.42
WITH THE
RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST.
00:14:19.45\00:14:21.76
IT TELLS US THEY SING A UNIQUE
SONG. THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU
00:14:21.79\00:14:25.06
CAN'T READ OFF
THEIR MUSIC BECAUSE IT'S
00:14:25.09\00:14:26.96
THEY'RE SONG, IT MEANS THEY'VE
GONE THROUGH AN EXPERIENCE.
00:14:27.00\00:14:31.10
IT'S LIKE WHEN THE CHILDREN OF
ISRAEL WENT THROUGH EGYPT, THEY
00:14:31.13\00:14:34.30
SANG THIS SONG OF
DELIVERANCE LED BY MIRIAM.
00:14:34.34\00:14:37.97
AND, AT THE END OF THEIR 40
YEARS, MOSES WROTE A SONG THAT
00:14:38.01\00:14:41.14
TALKED ABOUT THOSE WHO HAD
SURVIVED THEIR WANDERINGS AND
00:14:41.18\00:14:44.05
HOW GOD WOULD BE FIRST.
SOMETIMES A SONG - YOU HAVE TO
00:14:44.08\00:14:47.12
HAVE THE EXPERIENCE TO
KNOW HOW TO SING THE SONG.
00:14:47.15\00:14:50.05
IT'S LIKE SOMETIMES YOU'LL HEAR
A CHOIR - YOU MIGHT HEAR A CHOIR
00:14:50.09\00:14:54.89
IN IRELAND
SINGING A NEGRO SPIRITUAL.
00:14:54.92\00:14:58.49
THEY MAY NOT KNOW HOW TO SING IT
THE WAY IT WAS WRITTEN BECAUSE
00:14:58.53\00:15:03.13
THEY HAVE NOT HAD THE EXPERIENCE
THAT GAVE BIRTH TO THE SONG.
00:15:03.16\00:15:08.80
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? >>YES.
00:15:08.84\00:15:10.07
>>AND SO THOSE WHO ARE THE 144
- THEY'RE SINGING A SONG NOBODY
00:15:10.11\00:15:14.11
ELSE CAN SING. WHY?
BECAUSE IT SAYS THERE IN
00:15:14.14\00:15:16.44
REVELATION THESE ARE
THOSE WHO - THEY'VE COME OUT OF
00:15:16.48\00:15:18.95
A GREAT TRIBULATION.
THEY FOLLOWED THE LAMB IN A
00:15:18.98\00:15:22.18
CLOSE WAY, UNLIKE ANYONE
ELSE. IT SAYS THEY SANG, AS
00:15:22.22\00:15:25.85
IT WERE, A NEW SONG.
SOMETHING ELSE IT TELLS US, THEY
00:15:25.89\00:15:28.69
FOLLOW THE LAMB
WHEREVER HE GOES.
00:15:28.72\00:15:31.46
BY THE WAY, IF YOU WANT TO
FOLLOW THE LAMB THERE THEN, YOU
00:15:31.49\00:15:37.30
MUST FIRST FOLLOW
THE LAMB HERE NOW.
00:15:37.33\00:15:40.50
>>WOW. AMEN. >>AND
YOU CAN'T SAY, 'WELL I
00:15:40.54\00:15:43.07
CAN'T WAIT TO GET TO HEAVEN AND
START FOLLOWING THE LAMB.' YOU
00:15:43.10\00:15:45.47
WON'T BE IN HEAVEN UNLESS
YOU START FOLLOWING HIM NOW.
00:15:45.51\00:15:49.44
A CHRISTIAN IS A
FOLLOWER OF CHRIST.
00:15:49.48\00:15:52.31
AND IT SAYS THEY ARE VIRGINS
- AND THIS HAS ALWAYS THROWN
00:15:52.35\00:15:54.65
PEOPLE - DOES THAT MEAN
ALL THE 144,000 ARE WOMEN?
00:15:54.68\00:15:58.59
BECAUSE THE TERM THERE, IN
GREEK, IT DOES SEEM TO IMPLY THE
00:15:58.62\00:16:01.09
FEMININE SIDE. KEEP
IN MIND, IN REVELATION,
00:16:01.12\00:16:04.46
IT TALKS ABOUT BABYLON HAS
DAUGHTERS THAT ARE HARLOTS -
00:16:04.49\00:16:09.00
UNFAITHFUL - THE 144,000, IT'S
SAYING THEY ARE VIRGINS FOR THEY
00:16:09.03\00:16:13.20
ARE NOT DEFILED.
IT'S TALKING ABOUT THEY
00:16:13.23\00:16:16.37
ARE A PART OF THE
TRUTH. THEY'VE NOT BEEN DEFILED
00:16:16.40\00:16:18.81
BY THE WINE OF BABYLON.
IT'S SIMPLY SAYING - THEY'RE NOT
00:16:18.84\00:16:22.34
TALKING ABOUT SEX AT ALL, IT'S
TALKING ABOUT THEY ARE A PURE
00:16:22.38\00:16:25.01
GROUP BECAUSE THEY
BELIEVE THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS.
00:16:25.05\00:16:28.02
THEY ARE UNDEFILED
BY THE FALSE TEACHINGS.
00:16:28.05\00:16:30.15
EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE BEEN
TELLING YOU ABOUT THE 144,000,
00:16:30.19\00:16:33.52
YOU KNOW WHAT THE KEY
IS TO UNDERSTANDING IT?
00:16:33.56\00:16:35.76
THEY REPRESENT
MODERN-DAY APOSTLES.
00:16:35.79\00:16:39.93
SEE, IN THE OLD TESTAMENT -
I'M SORRY, IN THE NEW TESTAMENT,
00:16:39.96\00:16:41.83
RATHER, JESUS PICKED TWELVE
APOSTLES AND HE SAID, 'I WANT
00:16:41.86\00:16:45.97
YOU TO BE MY ADVOCATES TO TAKE
THIS MESSAGE TO THE WORLD.' BUT
00:16:46.00\00:16:50.21
THEY WERE NOT THE ONLY ONES
SAVED, THEY WERE A SPECIAL GROUP
00:16:50.24\00:16:52.81
OF LEADERS. BEFORE
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS POURED
00:16:52.84\00:16:55.51
OUT IN ACTS CHAPTER 2, JUDAS
HAS KILLED HIMSELF, PETER SAID
00:16:55.54\00:17:00.12
THERE'S ONLY ELEVEN OF US NOW,
WE NEED TO REPLACE JUDAS AND
00:17:00.15\00:17:03.32
GET BACK TO THE NUMBER TWELVE.
WHEN THEY REPLACED JUDAS, THE
00:17:03.35\00:17:06.02
HOLY SPIRIT FALLS
OUT IN THE NEXT VERSE.
00:17:06.05\00:17:08.82
BUT THERE'S NOT JUST TWELVE THAT
RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT, THERE'S
00:17:08.86\00:17:11.73
A HUNDRED AND TWENTY IN
THE UPPER ROOM, AND THEN THREE
00:17:11.76\00:17:14.56
THOUSAND ARE CONVERTED
AS A RESULT OF WHAT THEY DO.
00:17:14.60\00:17:18.47
WHICH LEADS TO THE NEXT
QUESTION: ARE THE 144,000 THE
00:17:18.50\00:17:21.80
ONLY ONES SAVED
WHEN JESUS COMES?
00:17:21.84\00:17:24.71
WELL, IF YOU DO THE MATH,
THAT WOULD BE PRETTY SAD BECAUSE
00:17:24.74\00:17:27.54
THERE ARE ABOUT 7 BILLION PEOPLE
IN THE WORLD - THERE'S MORE THAN
00:17:27.58\00:17:31.31
7 BILLION - AND IF ONLY 144,000
ARE GOING TO BE SAVED, THAT
00:17:31.35\00:17:37.39
MEANS YOUR CHANCE IS
ABOUT ONE OUT OF 50,000.
00:17:37.42\00:17:42.62
IT'S STILL BETTER THAN THE
LOTTERY IN FLORIDA, DID YOU KNOW
00:17:42.66\00:17:44.53
THAT? (LAUGHTER) BUT IT'S NOT
GOOD. NO, THEY'RE NOT THE ONLY
00:17:44.56\00:17:50.57
ONES SAVED, THEY ARE A
SPECIAL GROUP OF LEADERS.
00:17:50.60\00:17:54.04
IN THE SAME WAY - LET ME MAKE
THE 144,000 REALLY EASY FOR YOU
00:17:54.07\00:17:56.94
- IN THE SAME WAY THAT JESUS HAD
TWELVE APOSTLES THAT FOLLOWED
00:17:56.97\00:18:00.48
HIM WHEREVER HE WENT, THAT HAD
A SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM
00:18:00.51\00:18:04.65
THAT SANG A - YOU KNOW, THE
BIBLE SAYS THAT JESUS, THE ONLY
00:18:04.68\00:18:07.08
TIME HE SANG, HE SANG WITH THE
TWELVE - HE SANG OTHER TIMES,
00:18:07.12\00:18:10.75
BUT THE ONLY TIME RECORDED, IN
THE BIBLE, WHEN JESUS SANG, HE
00:18:10.79\00:18:13.62
SANG WITH THE TWELVE APOSTLES
JUST BEFORE HE WENT TO THE
00:18:13.66\00:18:16.22
CROSS. THEY SANG WITH
THE LORD A SPECIAL SONG.
00:18:16.26\00:18:19.66
AND SO, ALL THE THINGS ABOUT THE
144,000 - BY THE WAY, THIS WAS
00:18:19.69\00:18:23.97
WRITTEN BY AN APOSTLE, ISN'T
IT? HE'S TALKING ABOUT THEIR
00:18:24.00\00:18:27.54
RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS
DURING THE FIRST COMING.
00:18:27.57\00:18:30.74
THERE'S GOING TO BE AN ARMY OF
APOSTLES GETTING THE WORLD READY
00:18:30.77\00:18:34.24
FOR THE SECOND COMING. >>AMEN.
00:18:34.28\00:18:36.58
>>DOES THAT MAKE
SENSE? THAT'S THE 144,000.
00:18:36.61\00:18:39.61
BUT NOW WE'VE LEARNED A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT THEM, WHAT'S THE
00:18:39.65\00:18:42.55
SPECIAL NAME IN THEIR FOREHEADS?
IT TALKS ABOUT A NAME, A SEAL.
00:18:42.58\00:18:47.89
KEEP IN MIND, IT'S NOT
TALKING ABOUT A TATTOO.
00:18:47.92\00:18:51.66
YOU'RE GOING TO FIND OUT
ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE IN THE OLD
00:18:51.69\00:18:54.10
TESTAMENT IT TALKS ABOUT IN THE
HAND AND IN THE FOREHEAD - THAT
00:18:54.10\00:18:57.47
MEANS IN YOUR
ACTIONS AND IN YOUR THOUGHTS.
00:18:57.50\00:19:00.97
IN DEUTERONOMY 5 MOSES
REPEATS THE TEN COMMANDMENTS; IN
00:19:01.00\00:19:04.07
DEUTERONOMY 6 HE SAYS, "YOU
SHALL BIND THEM AS A SIGN ON
00:19:04.11\00:19:06.37
YOUR HAND, AND THEY SHALL BE
AS FRONTLETS BETWEEN YOUR EYES."
00:19:06.41\00:19:09.08
WHAT'S THAT?
FOREHEAD - THAT THE LORD'S LAW
00:19:09.11\00:19:12.98
MIGHT BE IN YOUR
HEART, ANOTHER SYMBOL.
00:19:13.01\00:19:15.78
IN THE HAND MEANS IN THE
ACTIONS; IN THE FOREHEAD MEANS
00:19:15.82\00:19:18.39
IN THE WORSHIP, IN THE THOUGHTS.
I'LL MAKE SOMETHING REALLY
00:19:18.42\00:19:21.99
CLEAR: IN THE LAST DAYS, IF
YOU'VE GOT THE LAW OF THE LORD
00:19:22.02\00:19:26.56
IN YOUR HEART AND YOUR ACTIONS
AND YOUR MIND, YOU WILL NOT
00:19:26.59\00:19:29.66
HAVE THE MARK OF THE BEAST.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE LAW OF GOD
00:19:29.70\00:19:33.13
IN YOUR HEART AND YOUR HAND
AND YOUR HEAD, YOU WILL HAVE
00:19:33.17\00:19:36.37
THE MARK OF THE BEAST.
IT'S JUST ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.
00:19:36.40\00:19:40.38
NOW, YOU NOTICE IN EZEKIEL 9 -
WE ALWAYS THINK THE MARK IS THE
00:19:40.41\00:19:43.88
BAD THING - IF YOU READ EZEKIEL
9, THERE'S ANOTHER VISION THERE.
00:19:43.91\00:19:47.25
BY THE WAY, REVELATION IS
REFERRING BACK TO EZEKIEL, THAT
00:19:47.28\00:19:51.32
EVERYBODY IN JERUSALEM WAS TO BE
DESTROYED EXCEPT THOSE THAT HAD
00:19:51.35\00:19:55.09
THIS MARK PLACED
ON THEM BY THE ANGEL.
00:19:55.12\00:19:57.43
EVERYBODY IN EZEKIEL 9 WHO GETS
THE MARK IS SAVED BECAUSE THEY
00:19:57.46\00:20:01.93
ARE SIGHING AND CRYING FOR THE
ABOMINATIONS THAT ARE DONE IN
00:20:01.96\00:20:05.07
ISRAEL BECAUSE THERE WAS FALSE
WORSHIP THAT WAS HAPPENING AMONG
00:20:05.10\00:20:08.74
THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL.
AND YOU READ THAT CHAPTER
00:20:08.77\00:20:13.17
AND YOU'LL UNDERSTAND THAT.
SO WHAT IS THE SEAL OF GOD?
00:20:13.21\00:20:17.31
ALRIGHT, WE TALKED ABOUT THE
144,000, WE'RE GOING TO SPEND
00:20:17.35\00:20:19.45
THE REST OF OUR TIME TALKING
ABOUT THIS VERY IMPORTANT
00:20:19.48\00:20:22.32
SUBJECT - AND YOU PRAY FOR ME AS
I PROCEED, BECAUSE I REALLY WANT
00:20:22.35\00:20:25.32
YOU TO GET THIS
FRIENDS. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT.
00:20:25.35\00:20:28.66
ALRIGHT, FIRST OF ALL,
SEAL OF GOD IS THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:20:28.69\00:20:33.43
YOU ALREADY SORT OF KNEW THAT.
THOSE THAT HAVE THE MARK OF THE
00:20:33.46\00:20:36.40
BEAST, WHOSE
SPIRIT DO THEY HAVE?
00:20:36.43\00:20:38.70
>>SATAN. >>THE DEVIL.
00:20:38.73\00:20:40.24
THOSE THAT HAVE SEAL OF
GOD, WHOSE SPIRIT DO THEY HAVE?
00:20:40.27\00:20:43.94
IT SAYS THERE IN EPHESIANS 4:30,
"AND DO NOT GRIEVE THE HOLY
00:20:43.97\00:20:47.01
SPIRIT OF GOD, BY WHOM
YOU WERE SEALED FOR THE DAY OF
00:20:47.04\00:20:50.61
REDEMPTION."
THERE'S A SEAL OF THE HOLY
00:20:50.65\00:20:53.18
SPIRIT THAT HAPPENS INSIDE.
BUT THERE'S SOMETHING THAT IS
00:20:53.21\00:20:56.85
MORE TANGIBLE THAN THAT THAT CAN
BE SEEN IN THE LIFE AND YOU'LL
00:20:56.89\00:21:00.19
FIND THAT IN THIS VERSE - ISAIAH
8:16, "BIND UP THE TESTIMONY,
00:21:00.22\00:21:05.99
SEAL THE LAW
AMONG MY DISCIPLES."
00:21:06.03\00:21:10.07
CAN THE LAW BE
SEALED IN THE HEART?
00:21:10.10\00:21:13.80
SO THE LAW OF GOD,
IN A SENSE, IS THE SEAL.
00:21:13.84\00:21:15.77
WHAT'S THE NEW COVENANT?
'I'LL TAKE MY LAW AND WRITE IT
00:21:15.80\00:21:18.64
IN THEIR HEARTS.' BUT WE'RE
GOING TO GO A STEP DEEPER TO
00:21:18.67\00:21:22.58
FIND OUT WHAT IS
THAT SEAL IN THE LAW?
00:21:22.61\00:21:26.58
I COULD - NOW, TYPICALLY, A SEAL
- IN BIBLE TIMES WHEN YOU WOULD
00:21:26.61\00:21:30.05
MAKE A DOCUMENT OFFICIAL, THEY'D
POUR WAX ON THE SEAL LIKE YOU DO
00:21:30.09\00:21:33.86
WITH AN ENVELOPE, THEY'D STAMP
IT WITH THE GOVERNMENT SEAL AND
00:21:33.89\00:21:36.79
THE SEAL ALWAYS
CONTAINED THREE CHARACTERISTICS.
00:21:36.83\00:21:39.76
IT WOULD HAVE THE NAME OF
THE OFFICIAL, THE TITLE, AND THE
00:21:39.79\00:21:45.23
TERRITORY. FOR
EXAMPLE, I'VE GOT A COPY
00:21:45.27\00:21:48.80
HERE OF QUEEN ELIZABETH AND
IN CANADA IT SAYS, 'QUEEN OF
00:21:48.84\00:21:54.11
CANADA, ELIZABETH' - AND
THAT'S THE NAME: QUEEN - THE
00:21:54.14\00:21:58.91
OFFICE: ELIZABETH -
CANADA. AND SO, YOU WOULD HAVE
00:21:58.95\00:22:03.18
THREE CHARACTERISTICS.
WHEN PONTIUS PILATE PUT A SEAL
00:22:03.22\00:22:06.22
ON THE TOMB OF
JESUS, WHAT DID IT SAY?
00:22:06.25\00:22:08.49
PONTIUS PILATE - HIS NAME -
GOVERNOR - HIS OFFICE - JUDEA -
00:22:08.52\00:22:12.93
HIS TERRITORY. WHEN
KING DARIUS PUT A SEAL -
00:22:12.96\00:22:16.60
THE BIBLE SAYS HE PUT A
SEAL ON THE STONE, PLACED ON THE
00:22:16.63\00:22:19.80
LION'S DEN - WHAT DID IT
SAY? DARIUS, KING, MEDO-PERSIA -
00:22:19.83\00:22:24.81
YOU'VE GOT THOSE THREE
THINGS WERE ALWAYS IN A SEAL.
00:22:24.84\00:22:27.38
YOU EVER SEE THE
PRESIDENTIAL SEAL?
00:22:27.41\00:22:30.05
IT'S GOING TO SAY THE
PRESIDENT'S NAME - PRESIDENT -
00:22:30.08\00:22:32.75
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
AND SO, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
00:22:32.78\00:22:36.18
THOSE THREE CHARACTERISTICS.
DO YOU FIND THE SEAL OF
00:22:36.22\00:22:38.12
GOD IN THE LAW OF GOD? YOU
DO. IT'S IN THE MIDDLE OF GOD'S
00:22:38.15\00:22:42.82
LAW, IN THE LONGEST OF THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS, AND HERE'S WHAT IT
00:22:42.86\00:22:47.13
READS - AND YOU READ IN EXODUS
CHAPTER 20, VERSE 8, "REMEMBER
00:22:47.20\00:22:51.47
THE SABBATH
DAY, TO KEEP IT HOLY.
00:22:51.50\00:22:53.47
SIX DAYS YOU SHALL LABOR AND DO
ALL YOUR WORK, BUT THE SEVENTH
00:22:53.50\00:22:58.11
DAY IS THE SABBATH
OF THE LORD YOUR GOD.
00:22:58.14\00:23:01.31
IN IT YOU SHALL NOT DO ANY
WORK: YOU NOR YOUR SON, NOR YOUR
00:23:01.34\00:23:04.95
DAUGHTER, NOR YOUR MALE SERVANT,
NOR YOUR FEMALE SERVANT.
00:23:04.98\00:23:07.62
NOR YOUR CATTLE, NOR YOUR
STRANGER WHO IS WITHIN YOUR
00:23:07.65\00:23:10.15
GATES." NOW YOU
HEAR - WATCH CAREFULLY
00:23:10.19\00:23:12.29
- "FOR IN SIX DAYS THE LORD"
- JEHOVAH - HIS NAME - CREATED -
00:23:12.32\00:23:18.23
"MADE" - HIS OFFICE - HE'S
THE CREATOR AND SUSTAINER - "THE
00:23:18.26\00:23:21.76
HEAVENS AND THE
EARTH, THE SEA..."
00:23:21.80\00:23:24.07
- THERE YOU HAVE THE NAME
OF GOD, THE TITLE OF GOD, THE
00:23:24.10\00:23:28.14
TERRITORY OF GOD, IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE LAW OF GOD IS THIS SEAL.
00:23:28.17\00:23:33.81
AND WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE
TALKING ABOUT NOW IS THE SABBATH
00:23:33.84\00:23:37.75
COMMANDMENT AND WHY IT IS AN
IMPORTANT ISSUE IN THE LAST DAYS
00:23:37.78\00:23:41.22
BECAUSE IT TALKS
ABOUT RESTING IN THE LORD.
00:23:41.25\00:23:45.42
IT TALKS ABOUT
HAVING A RELATIONSHIP.
00:23:45.45\00:23:47.36
IT TALKS ABOUT HAVING THE
FATHER'S NAME - IS THE FATHER'S
00:23:47.39\00:23:49.89
NAME IN THAT COMMANDMENT?
JEHOVAH, "THE LORD, MADE HEAVENS
00:23:49.92\00:23:53.86
AND THE EARTH, THE SEA
AND ALL THIS IS IN THEM, AND
00:23:53.90\00:23:56.00
RESTED THE SEVENTH DAY.
THEREFORE THE LORD BLESSED THE
00:23:56.03\00:23:58.53
SABBATH DAY AND HALLOWED
IT." THAT MEANS HE MADE IT HOLY.
00:23:58.57\00:24:03.14
SO HERE YOU'VE GOT THOSE THREE
CHARACTERISTICS: YOU'VE GOT HIS
00:24:03.17\00:24:05.97
TITLE, YOU'VE GOT HIS TERRITORY,
YOU'VE GOT HIS NAME, ALL IN THE
00:24:06.01\00:24:10.45
MIDDLE OF THE LAW. NOW,
I WANT - WANT YOU TO JUST
00:24:10.48\00:24:13.92
SEE, FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF
THE BIBLE AND HEAVEN, WHY THIS
00:24:13.95\00:24:17.92
WOULD BE SO IMPORTANT. IS
THERE A PLACE IN THE WORLD
00:24:17.95\00:24:21.56
TODAY - IF I WAS GOING TO SAY,
'I'M GOING TO THE HOLY LAND.
00:24:21.59\00:24:23.73
I'M GOING ON A HOLY
LAND TOUR.' WHERE AM I GOING?
00:24:23.76\00:24:26.06
>>ISRAEL. >>ISRAEL.
00:24:26.09\00:24:28.26
NOT TOO MANY
PEOPLE DISPUTE THAT.
00:24:28.30\00:24:30.07
AND, IF I'M IN ISRAEL, I'M GOING
TO SAY, 'I'M GOING TO THE HOLY
00:24:30.10\00:24:31.77
CITY.' WHERE AM I GOING?
00:24:31.80\00:24:33.13
>>JERUSALEM. >>JERUSALEM.
00:24:33.17\00:24:35.27
AND THEN, IF I SAY I'M IN
JERUSALEM, I'M GOING TO GO VISIT
00:24:35.30\00:24:37.67
THE HOLY MOUNT - MOUNT MORIAH,
SOMETIMES CALLED MOUNT ZION -
00:24:37.71\00:24:42.48
IT'S WHERE THE TEMPLE WAS.
AND, IN ANCIENT TIMES, IF YOU
00:24:42.51\00:24:45.81
WENT TO THE TEMPLE,
YOU'D GO TO THE HOLY TEMPLE.
00:24:45.85\00:24:48.92
AND, IN THE HOLY TEMPLE,
THEY HAD A PLACE CALLED THE HOLY
00:24:48.95\00:24:50.85
PLACE, BUT THE HOLY PLACE HAD AN
INNER SANCTUM CALLED THE HOLY OF
00:24:50.89\00:24:56.19
HOLIES AND THERE WAS ONLY
ONE THING IN THE HOLY OF HOLIES.
00:24:56.22\00:25:01.10
WHAT WAS IT? >>THE ARK.
00:25:01.13\00:25:02.46
>>AN ARK - GOLDEN BOX - WE'VE
ALL HEARD ABOUT THIS SACRED
00:25:02.50\00:25:05.30
GOLDEN BOX THAT'S
STILL MISSING TODAY.
00:25:05.33\00:25:07.14
WHAT MADE THE GOLDEN BOX
SUCH A NATIONAL TREASURE?
00:25:07.17\00:25:11.94
WHAT DID IT HAVE IN
THERE? TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:25:11.97\00:25:15.08
AND, IN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS,
DO YOU FIND THE WORD 'HOLY'?
00:25:15.11\00:25:18.68
>>YES. >>HOW MANY TIMES?
00:25:18.71\00:25:21.25
ONE TIME. WHERE IS IT?
IT'S IN THE SABBATH COMMANDMENT.
00:25:21.28\00:25:25.95
BECAUSE GOD WANTS TO MAKE
US HOLY AND LIFE IS COMPOSED OF
00:25:25.99\00:25:32.19
TIME. GOD IS LOVE - YOU WITH ME?
YOU CANNOT LOVE WITHOUT TIME.
00:25:32.23\00:25:39.40
WIVES USUALLY GET
THAT BETTER THAN HUSBANDS.
00:25:39.43\00:25:44.04
THEY SAY, 'OH YOU NEVER DO
ANYTHING WITH ME.' 'I'VE BEEN
00:25:44.07\00:25:45.74
HOME ALL DAY.' 'BUT, YEAH,
YOU'VE BEEN ON YOUR COMPUTER.'
00:25:45.77\00:25:49.04
NOW THIS CONVERSATION
NEVER HAPPENED IN OUR HOME.
00:25:49.08\00:25:51.18
(LAUGHTER) BUT I SAID, 'I
WAS HERE.' 'THAT'S NOT QUALITY
00:25:51.21\00:25:54.85
TIME.' SO WE LIVE ALL WEEK LONG,
BUT DO WE HAVE QUALITY TIME?
00:25:54.88\00:26:00.09
BECAUSE LOVE IS
NOURISHED IN QUALITY TIME.
00:26:00.12\00:26:05.06
GOD, WHEN HE CREATED THE WORLD,
HE CREATED AND SANCTIFIED A
00:26:05.09\00:26:08.13
QUALITY TIME TO NURTURE
OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.
00:26:08.16\00:26:12.00
AND, IF YOU LOVE GOD - IF YOU
KNOW GOD YOU'LL LOVE HIM, IF YOU
00:26:12.03\00:26:14.74
LOVE HIM YOU'LL OBEY HIM.
THE DEVIL IS TRYING TO DESTROY
00:26:14.77\00:26:17.34
THE QUALITY TIME AND THE
LOVE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PEOPLE
00:26:17.37\00:26:21.34
AND GOD AND HE IS ESPECIALLY
ATTACKING THE SABBATH.
