>>TONIGHT OUR PRESENTATION
IS GOING TO BE DEALING WITH THE
00:01:54.08\00:01:56.44
SUBJECT OF THE
144,000 AND THE SEAL OF GOD.
00:01:56.48\00:02:01.25
LET'S START WITH THE 144,000 IN
CHAPTER 7 OF REVELATION AND YOU
00:02:01.28\00:02:05.79
CAN BEGIN WITH VERSE 1 - CHAPTER
7, VERSE 1, "AFTER THESE THINGS
00:02:05.82\00:02:10.96
I SAW FOUR ANGELS HOLDING THE
FOUR WINDS OF THE EARTH, THAT
00:02:10.99\00:02:15.66
THE WIND SHOULD NOT BLOW ON
THE EARTH, ON THE SEA, OR ON ANY
00:02:15.70\00:02:19.23
TREE." - UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS
- IT'S GOING TO BLOW EVENTUALLY.
00:02:19.27\00:02:23.00
THOSE WINDS OF STRIFE ARE REALLY
- THEY'RE KIND OF SUMMARIZED IN
00:02:23.04\00:02:26.41
THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES.
"THEN I SAW ANOTHER ANGEL
00:02:26.44\00:02:30.48
ASCENDING FROM THE EAST, HAVING
THE SEAL OF THE LIVING GOD.
00:02:30.51\00:02:35.45
AND HE CRIED WITH A LOUD
VOICE...SAYING, 'DO NOT HARM THE
00:02:35.48\00:02:38.75
EARTH, THE SEA, OR THE TREES
TILL WE HAVE SEALED THE SERVANTS
00:02:38.79\00:02:43.53
OF OUR GOD ON THEIR FOREHEADS.'"
- AND, SORT OF, WITH THAT AS AN
00:02:43.56\00:02:47.60
INTRODUCTION, LET'S GO THROUGH
SOME OF OUR QUESTIONS, NOW, THAT
00:02:47.66\00:02:50.83
TALK ABOUT THE
144,000 AND THE SEAL OF GOD.
00:02:50.87\00:02:54.74
FIRST QUESTION, SO WHAT IS THE
SEAL OF GOD? IT SAYS THERE IN
00:02:54.77\00:02:59.17
EPHESIANS 4:30, "DO NOT
GRIEVE THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD,
00:02:59.21\00:03:02.51
WHEREWITH YOU WERE SEALED
FOR THE DAY OF REDEMPTION."
00:03:02.54\00:03:06.48
THERE'S A SEAL OF THE HOLY
SPIRIT THAT HAPPENS INSIDE.
00:03:06.51\00:03:09.48
BUT THERE'S SOMETHING THAT
IS MORE TANGIBLE THAN THAT, THAT
00:03:09.52\00:03:13.09
CAN BE SEEN IN THE LIFE, AND
YOU'LL FIND THAT IN THIS VERSE -
00:03:13.12\00:03:15.96
ISAIAH 8:16, "BIND UP THE
TESTIMONY, SEAL THE LAW AMONG MY
00:03:15.99\00:03:23.73
DISCIPLES." CAN THE
LAW BE SEALED IN THE HEART?
00:03:23.77\00:03:28.37
SO THE LAW OF GOD, IN A SENSE,
IS THE SEAL; WHAT'S THE NEW
00:03:28.40\00:03:30.44
COVENANT? 'I'LL
TAKE MY LAW AND WRITE IT
00:03:30.47\00:03:32.94
IN THEIR HEARTS.' BUT WE'RE
GOING TO GO A STEP DEEPER TO
00:03:32.97\00:03:36.41
FIND OUT 'WHAT IS
THAT SEAL IN THE LAW?'
00:03:36.44\00:03:39.88
"REMEMBER THE
SABBATH DAY TO KEEP IT HOLY.
00:03:39.91\00:03:42.85
SIX DAYS YOU SHALL
LABOR AND DO ALL YOUR WORK.
00:03:42.88\00:03:46.45
BUT THE SEVENTH DAY IS THE
SABBATH OF THE LORD YOUR GOD.
00:03:46.49\00:03:50.79
IN IT YOU SHALL DO NO WORK: YOU,
NOR YOUR SON, NOR YOUR DAUGHTER,
00:03:50.83\00:03:54.66
NOR YOUR MALE SERVANT, NOR YOUR
FEMALE SERVANT, NOR YOUR CATTLE
00:03:54.73\00:03:58.03
NOR YOUR STRANGER
WHO IS WITH YOUR GATES."
00:03:58.07\00:04:00.47
- NOW HEAR - WATCH CAREFULLY
- "FOR IN SIX DAYS THE LORD" -
00:04:00.50\00:04:04.44
JEHOVAH - HIS NAME - CREATED
- "MADE" - HIS OFFICE - HE'S THE
00:04:04.47\00:04:09.78
CREATOR AND SUSTAINER - "THE
HEAVENS AND THE EARTH, THE SEA"
00:04:09.81\00:04:13.55
- THERE YOU HAVE THE NAME
OF GOD, THE TITLE OF GOD, THE
00:04:13.58\00:04:17.65
TERRITORY OF GOD. IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE LAW OF GOD IS HIS SEAL.
00:04:17.69\00:04:23.39
AND WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE
TALKING ABOUT NOW IS THE SABBATH
00:04:23.43\00:04:27.23
COMMANDMENT AND WHY IT IS
AN IMPORTANT ISSUE IN THE LAST
00:04:27.30\00:04:29.96
DAYS, BECAUSE IT TALKS
ABOUT RESTING IN THE LORD.
00:04:30.00\00:04:34.84
IT TALKS ABOUT HAVING A
RELATIONSHIP - IT TALKS ABOUT
00:04:34.87\00:04:37.27
HAVING THE FATHER'S NAME -
IS THE FATHER'S NAME IN THAT
00:04:37.31\00:04:39.94
COMMANDMENT? JEHOVAH
- THE LORD - MADE THE
00:04:39.97\00:04:43.14
HEAVEN AND EARTH AND THE SEA
AND ALL THAT IS IN THEM AND HE
00:04:43.18\00:04:45.45
RESTED THE SEVENTH DAY.
THEREFORE, THE LORD BLESSED THE
00:04:45.48\00:04:48.12
SABBATH DAY AND HE HALLOWED
IT - THAT MEANS HE MADE IT HOLY.
00:04:48.15\00:04:52.19
GOD, WHEN HE CREATED THE WORLD,
HE CREATED AND SANCTIFIED A
00:04:52.22\00:04:55.26
QUALITY TIME TO NURTURE
OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.
00:04:55.29\00:04:59.26
AND, IF YOU LOVE GOD - IF YOU
KNOW GOD YOU'LL LOVE HIM; IF YOU
00:04:59.29\00:05:02.13
LOVE HIM YOU'LL OBEY HIM.
THE DEVIL IS TRYING TO DESTROY
00:05:02.16\00:05:04.90
THE QUALITY TIME AND THE
LOVE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PEOPLE
00:05:04.93\00:05:08.67
AND GOD, AND HE IS ESPECIALLY
ATTACKING THE SABBATH.
00:05:08.70\00:05:13.07
DID GOD MAKE THE
SABBATH ONLY FOR ISRAELITES?
00:05:13.11\00:05:15.94
>>NO. >>WELL,
LET'S THINK ABOUT IT.
00:05:15.98\00:05:18.65
HOW FAR BACK
DOES THE SABBATH GO?
00:05:18.68\00:05:20.82
JESUS SAID - MARK 2:27 - "AND HE
SAID UNTO THEM, 'THE SABBATH WAS
00:05:20.85\00:05:25.79
MADE FOR JEWS'"
- AND - >>FOR MAN.
00:05:25.82\00:05:29.39
>>WELL, YOU CAN SPELL
'JEWS' SEVERAL DIFFERENT WAYS.
00:05:29.42\00:05:31.33
ONE WAY IS 'M-A-N'.
IS THAT WHAT IT SAYS?
00:05:31.36\00:05:34.36
DOES IT SAY 'JEWS'?
THAT WORD THERE IS TALKING
00:05:34.36\00:05:36.80
ABOUT 'ANTHROPOS' - EVERYBODY
- HUMANITY - THE SABBATH WAS
00:05:36.83\00:05:39.77
MADE FOR MAN - MANKIND.
QUICK TEST: HOW MANY HERE
00:05:39.80\00:05:44.17
ARE RELATED TO ADAM
AND EVE. >>ALL OF US.
00:05:44.21\00:05:48.04
>>SABBATH WAS MADE FOR MAN.
WHEN WAS THAT? WAY BACK IN THE
00:05:48.08\00:05:50.15
BEGINNING. JESUS SAID
THAT - IT'S NOT MADE FOR JEWS.
00:05:50.18\00:05:54.82
THE BIBLE'S REALLY
CLEAR, IT'S FOR EVERYBODY.
00:05:54.85\00:05:57.02
"ALSO, THE SONS OF THE STRANGER
THAT JOIN THEMSELVES TO THE LORD
00:05:57.05\00:06:00.66
TO SERVE HIM, AND TO
LOVE THE NAME OF THE LORD.
00:06:00.69\00:06:03.46
TO BE HIS SERVANTS, EVERY ONE"
- THE STRANGER - THE GENTILE -
00:06:03.49\00:06:06.80
"THAT KEEPETH THE SABBATH FROM
POLLUTING IT, AND TAKETH HOLD OF
00:06:06.83\00:06:10.47
MY COVENANT: EVEN THEM WILL
I BRING TO MY HOLY MOUNTAIN AND
00:06:10.50\00:06:13.67
MAKE THEM JOYFUL IN
MY HOUSE OF PRAYER."
00:06:13.70\00:06:17.04
WHAT DOES HE PROMISE TO
EVERYBODY THAT REMEMBERS HIS
00:06:17.07\00:06:19.01
COMMANDMENT? JOY.
IT'S TO BE A BLESSING.
00:06:19.04\00:06:22.84
HE DIDN'T CURSE THE DAY,
HE BLESSED THE DAY, RIGHT?
00:06:22.88\00:06:25.71
SO WHEN DID GOD
ESTABLISH THE SABBATH TRUTH?
00:06:25.75\00:06:28.12
THE SEAL THAT WE'RE STUDYING?
WAY BACK IN THE BEGINNING, IN
00:06:28.15\00:06:31.49
THE GARDEN OF EDEN, AFTER
GOD MADE EVERYTHING IN SIX DAYS
00:06:31.52\00:06:34.42
- HOW MANY DAYS
OF THE WEEK? >>SEVEN.
00:06:34.46\00:06:36.73
>>DO YOU KNOW THERE'S SEVEN
DAYS IN THE WEEK WHEN WE WENT TO
00:06:36.76\00:06:38.66
CHINA - AND THEY'RE TECHNICALLY
AN ATHEISTIC COUNTRY?
00:06:38.69\00:06:41.63
KAREN AND I WENT TO RUSSIA RIGHT
AFTER THE IRON CURTAIN FELL -
00:06:41.66\00:06:44.90
SEVEN DAYS OF THE WEEK IN KOREA,
JAPAN - EVERY WHERE WE'VE BEEN -
00:06:44.93\00:06:47.50
AUSTRALIA -
SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. WHY?
00:06:47.54\00:06:51.64
IT'S REALLY STRANGE
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT.
00:06:51.67\00:06:53.38
IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE WHY ALL
THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD, EVEN
00:06:53.41\00:06:56.81
BEFORE THE SPREAD OF MODERN
CIVILIZATION, HAD 360 TO 370
00:06:56.85\00:07:03.08
DAYS IN THEIR CALENDAR FOR A
YEAR BECAUSE THAT'S - THEY COULD
00:07:03.12\00:07:06.19
SEE - THEY COULD OBSERVE THAT'S
HOW LONG IT TOOK FOR THE EARTH
00:07:06.22\00:07:10.33
TO GO ONCE AROUND THE SUN, SO IT
SHOULDN'T SURPRISE US THAT ALL
00:07:10.36\00:07:13.26
THE ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS HAD A
YEAR WITH ABOUT THE SAME NUMBER
00:07:13.29\00:07:16.67
OF DAYS. IT
SHOULDN'T SURPRISE US THAT
00:07:16.70\00:07:18.83
THEY ALL HAD SOMETHING LIKE
A MONTH BECAUSE IT'S THE LUNAR
00:07:18.87\00:07:22.00
CYCLE - THAT'S WHERE YOU
GET THE WORD 'MONTH' - MOON.
00:07:22.04\00:07:24.94
AND WE ALL KNOW IT TAKES 24
HOURS FOR THE EARTH TO REVOLVE
00:07:24.97\00:07:28.34
ONCE ON ITS AXIS, BUT WHERE IN
THE SUN, MOON, AND STARS DO YOU
00:07:28.38\00:07:32.35
GET A SEVEN-DAY WEEK? NOWHERE.
00:07:32.38\00:07:36.15
THE ONLY PLACE THAT THE WORLD
CAN TRACE A SEVEN-DAY WEEK IS TO
00:07:36.18\00:07:39.25
'IN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED
THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH'.
00:07:39.29\00:07:43.09
IT ALL GOES BACK TO
THE BIBLE. WHY DO WE HAVE
00:07:43.12\00:07:45.36
SEVEN AND NOT SIX? HE
FINISHED EVERYTHING IN SIX
00:07:45.39\00:07:47.60
DAYS, WHY DO WE HAVE SEVEN?
HE SAID, 'I'M NOT DONE YET.
00:07:47.66\00:07:50.77
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO ENJOY
ANYTHING I MADE IN THESE SIX
00:07:50.80\00:07:53.23
DAYS UNLESS YOU REMEMBER
THE SEVENTH, BECAUSE YOU NEED TO
00:07:53.27\00:07:56.54
REST WITH ME AND TO RECHARGE
YOUR RELATIONSHIP - TO GO FORTH
00:07:56.57\00:08:00.61
AND DO WHAT I'VE CREATED - TO
ENJOY YOUR PARADISE - IT'S PART
00:08:00.64\00:08:04.58
OF GOD'S PERFECT PLAN.
HE MADE A DAY TO NURTURE OUR
00:08:04.61\00:08:08.18
LOVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH HIM.
"THUS THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH
00:08:08.22\00:08:12.05
WERE FINISHED, AND ALL THE HOST
OF THEM...AND GOD BLESSED THE
00:08:12.09\00:08:15.59
SEVENTH DAY, AND HE SANCTIFIED
IT: BECAUSE THAT IN IT HE HAD
00:08:15.62\00:08:19.49
RESTED FROM ALL HIS WORK
WHICH GOD CREATED AND MADE."
00:08:19.53\00:08:23.30
NOTICE, THERE'S SEVERAL
THINGS THAT HE DID THERE.
00:08:23.33\00:08:26.03
WHAT DAY OF THE
WEEK IS THE SABBATH?
00:08:26.07\00:08:27.74
AND THIS IS WHERE
SOME PEOPLE ARE SURPRISED.
00:08:27.77\00:08:29.47
IS IT THE FIRST DAY? THIRD DAY?
00:08:29.50\00:08:31.94
THE BIBLE SAYS - AND, NOTICE,
BACK IN CREATION - I'M REPEATING
00:08:31.97\00:08:34.64
THAT VERSE HERE IN GENESIS 2 AND
I WANT TO ACCENTUATE SOMETHING:
00:08:34.68\00:08:38.48
"AND ON THE SEVENTH DAY
GOD ENDED HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD
00:08:38.51\00:08:41.92
MADE, AND HE RESTED ON THE
SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL OF HIS WORK
00:08:41.95\00:08:46.12
WHICH HE HAD MADE." -
AND IT SAYS THAT "GOD BLESSED
00:08:46.15\00:08:48.29
THE SEVENTH DAY AND SANCTIFIED
IT." FIRST TIME IN THE BIBLE GOD
00:08:48.32\00:08:51.63
SAYS SOMETHING LIKE
THIS - A NUMBER THREE TIMES -
00:08:51.66\00:08:53.83
WHAT NUMBER IS IT? SEVENTH
DAY, SEVENTH DAY, SEVENTH DAY.
00:08:53.86\00:08:56.63
NOW, YOU MAY THINK THIS IS JUST
CAVEMAN THEOLOGY, BUT, FOR ME, I
00:08:56.67\00:08:59.73
THINK IT'S VERY INTERESTING
THAT THERE, IN THE BEGINNING IN
00:08:59.77\00:09:02.20
GENESIS, GOD SAYS
'SEVEN, SEVEN, SEVEN'.
00:09:02.24\00:09:04.77
YOU GET TO THE LAST BOOK IN THE
BIBLE IT SAYS, 'YOU DON'T WANT
00:09:04.81\00:09:06.74
THE SIX, SIX, SIX.' IT'S LIKE
ONE IS THE NUMBER OF GOD - SIX,
00:09:06.78\00:09:11.25
IN THE BIBLE, IS
THE NUMBER OF MAN.
00:09:11.28\00:09:14.05
KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR MAKES A
GOLDEN IMAGE 60 CUBITS BY SIX
00:09:14.08\00:09:18.19
CUBITS - PROBABLY SIX WIDE, SIX
DEEP, SIXTY HIGH - SIX, SIX, SIX
00:09:18.22\00:09:23.29
- HE TELLS EVERYONE, 'BOW DOWN.'
HOW HAS GOD DEMONSTRATED THE
00:09:23.32\00:09:27.30
IMPORTANCE OF HIS HOLY SABBATH?
IT'S NOT PASTOR DOUG'S SABBATH.
00:09:27.36\00:09:32.53
IT'S NOT THE JEWS'
SABBATH, IT'S GOD'S SABBATH.
00:09:32.57\00:09:37.17
NOTICE HE SAID, 'REMEMBER THE
SABBATH DAY, TO KEEP IT HOLY.
00:09:37.21\00:09:41.44
THE LORD BLESSED THE
SABBATH DAY AND HALLOWED IT."
00:09:41.48\00:09:44.41
I WAS DOING A MEETING LIKE
THIS, ONE TIME, AND ONE OF THE
00:09:44.45\00:09:47.22
INDIVIDUALS COMING, AND A LOT
OF THE PEOPLE THERE, AND THIS
00:09:47.25\00:09:49.88
PASTOR WAS THERE AND HE
INTERRUPTED THE MEETING.
00:09:49.92\00:09:52.69
HE SAID, 'BROTHER DOUG,' -
HE SAID - 'THIS IS LEGALISM.
00:09:52.72\00:09:56.39
YOU'RE PUTTING THESE PEOPLE
UNDER BONDAGE OF WORKS.' I SAID,
00:09:56.42\00:10:00.63
'BROTHER, I'M TELLING THEM
TO KEEP THE SABBATH COMMANDMENT.
00:10:00.66\00:10:02.80
I'M TELLING THEM TO REST.
YOU'RE TELLING THEM NOT TO.
00:10:02.83\00:10:04.50
YOU'RE TELLING THEM TO
WORK. I'M SAYING REST.'
00:10:04.53\00:10:08.14
AND HE SAID, 'WE'RE NO LONGER
UNDER THE LAW.' AND SO HE AND I
00:10:08.17\00:10:12.67
KIND OF GOT INTO AN EXCHANGE
RIGHT DURING THE MEETING AND,
00:10:12.71\00:10:15.04
YOU KNOW, I HAD TO DEAL WITH
IT. I SAID, 'SO, DO YOU THINK
00:10:15.08\00:10:19.75
WE SHOULD KEEP
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?'
00:10:19.78\00:10:21.45
HE SAID, 'NO.' SOME OF
HIS MEMBERS WERE THERE.
00:10:21.48\00:10:23.55
THEY KIND OF GASPED AND LOOKED
AT HIM BECAUSE THEY NEVER HEARD
00:10:23.59\00:10:25.69
HIM SAY THAT. AND
THEN HE SAID, 'WELL, YES.'
00:10:25.72\00:10:27.26
BUT THAT, OF COURSE, WOULD
INCLUDE THE FOURTH COMMANDMENT.
00:10:27.29\00:10:30.79
AND THEN HE SAID, 'NINE OF
THEM.' (LAUGHTER) AND SO I SAID,
00:10:30.83\00:10:35.10
'SO WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME
IS THE ONE COMMANDMENT YOU THINK
00:10:35.13\00:10:37.90
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO FORGET IS
THE ONLY COMMANDMENT THAT BEGINS
00:10:37.93\00:10:40.57
WITH THE WORD 'REMEMBER.'
>>THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT GOD IS
00:10:40.60\00:10:45.21
LOVE. THE ESSENCE OF THE GREAT
COMMANDMENTS ARE TO LOVE THE
00:10:45.24\00:10:48.68
LORD AND LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR.
BUT REAL LOVE REQUIRES TIME.
00:10:48.71\00:10:53.18
THAT'S WHY, AFTER GOD MADE THE
WORLD IN SIX DAYS, HE MADE ONE
00:10:53.21\00:10:56.65
MORE DAY FOR A SPECIAL LOVE
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GOD THE
00:10:56.69\00:11:01.66
CREATOR AND HIS CREATURES.
IT'S CALLED THE SABBATH DAY.
00:11:01.69\00:11:04.96
MANY PEOPLE MISUNDERSTAND
WHETHER IT'S STILL APPLICABLE
00:11:04.99\00:11:08.20
TODAY FOR CHRISTIANS OR
WHICH DAY THE SABBATH IS.
00:11:08.23\00:11:11.50
WOULD YOU LIKE TO BETTER
UNDERSTAND WHAT IS MEANT BY
00:11:11.53\00:11:14.04
JESUS WANTING TO
GIVE US THAT REST?
00:11:14.07\00:11:17.41
HE SAYS, 'COME UNTO ME
AND I'LL GIVE YOU REST.
00:11:17.44\00:11:19.14
WE HAVE A SPECIAL STUDY GUIDE
AND IT'S CALLED THE LOST DAY OF
00:11:19.17\00:11:23.14
HISTORY . IN THIS
LESSON WE EXPLAIN HOW
00:11:23.18\00:11:25.75

ENCOURAGED AND COMFORTED BY THIS

00:11:44.07\00:11:47.90
WE DO HERE AT AMAZING FACTS.
BECAUSE GOD'S MESSAGE IS OUR
00:11:47.94\00:11:51.47
MISSION. >>IT
SAYS, 'REMEMBER THE
00:11:51.51\00:11:53.91
SABBATH' - NOTICE IT SAYS,
'HE BLESSED THE SABBATH DAY' -
00:11:53.94\00:11:56.64
THERE'S SOME
THINGS HE DID TO THAT DAY.
00:11:56.68\00:11:58.58
IN A SPECIAL WAY HE RESTED,
HE BLESSED AND HE SANCTIFIED IT.
00:11:58.61\00:12:03.39
HE MADE IT HOLY AND HE
SPECIFIED A CERTAIN DAY.
00:12:03.42\00:12:06.49
HE DIDN'T SAY KEEP A SABBATH
DAY - DID YOU NOTICE THAT?
00:12:06.52\00:12:09.36
IT DOESN'T SAY GOD BLESSED A DAY
AND YOU JUST PICK WHERE YOU WANT
00:12:09.39\00:12:11.36
TO PASTE THAT
BLESSING - LIKE A STAMP.
00:12:11.39\00:12:13.13
GOD SAYS, 'I BLESSED A DAY.
I'M GOING TO MEET WITH YOU.'
00:12:13.16\00:12:16.23
WE DON'T PICK OUR OWN
DAY. IT'S A COMMANDMENT.
00:12:16.26\00:12:18.67
HE DOESN'T SAY 'A
SEVENTH DAY' - THE SEVENTH DAY.
00:12:18.70\00:12:22.80
WHICH DAY DID JESUS KEEP
HOLY? A CHRISTIAN IS A FOLLOWER
00:12:22.84\00:12:25.87
OF CHRIST, RIGHT?
ARE WE STILL TOGETHER?
00:12:25.91\00:12:29.31
>>AMEN. >>IT
SAYS, "AND HE CAME TO
00:12:29.34\00:12:30.81
NAZARETH, WHERE HE HAD BEEN
BROUGHT UP: AND, AS HIS CUSTOM
00:12:30.85\00:12:34.45
WAS," - WENT TO HIS HOME TOWN
AND - IS CUSTOM YOU DO SOMETHING
00:12:34.48\00:12:37.35
ONCE OR TWICE OR
IT'S A WAY OF LIFE?
00:12:37.39\00:12:39.72
>>WAY OF LIFE. >>"AS
HIS CUSTOM WAS, HE WENT
00:12:39.75\00:12:41.62
INTO THE SYNAGOGUE ON
THE SABBATH DAY, AND STOOD UP
00:12:41.66\00:12:44.89
FOR TO READ" THE SCRIPTURES.
JESUS REGULARLY WENT TO CHURCH -
00:12:44.93\00:12:49.23
SYNAGOGUE/CHURCH - SAME WORD
- GATHERING, IT MEANS - ON THE
00:12:49.26\00:12:51.73
SABBATH DAY, READ HIS BIBLE -
IT'S PROBABLY STILL A GOOD IDEA
00:12:51.77\00:12:55.34
FOR US TO DO WHAT JESUS DID.
NOW CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE JESUS
00:12:55.37\00:12:59.67
SAID NOT TO DO IT ANYMORE?
WHAT ABOUT THE APOSTLES?
00:12:59.71\00:13:04.65
LET'S TAKE PAUL, FOR EXAMPLE.
HE WROTE NEARLY HALF OF THE NEW
00:13:04.68\00:13:07.25
TESTAMENT. WHAT WAS PAUL'S
CUSTOM REGARDING THE SABBATH
00:13:07.28\00:13:10.62
DAY? IT SAYS, "PAUL, AS HIS
CUSTOM WAS, WENT IN UNTO THEM
00:13:10.65\00:13:15.06
AND THREE SABBATH DAYS REASONED
WITH THEM OUT OF THE SCRIPTURE."
00:13:15.09\00:13:18.83
PAUL HAD A CUSTOM - HE WENT IN,
NOT JUST WHEN HE WAS TALKING TO
00:13:18.86\00:13:22.30
THE JEWS, HE ALSO DID IT WITH
THE GREEKS. IT SAYS, IN ACTS
00:13:22.33\00:13:26.20
18:4, "HE REASONED IN THE
SYNAGOGUE EVERY SABBATH AND
00:13:26.23\00:13:30.47
PERSUADED THE JEWS AND THE
GREEKS" - MEANING THE JEWS AND
00:13:30.51\00:13:32.97
THE GENTILES. IT WAS SOMETHING
THAT HE DID FOR EVERYBODY.
00:13:33.01\00:13:36.88
SO THIS, I BELIEVE, WAS A
PATTERN YOU'LL SEE ALL THROUGH
00:13:36.91\00:13:39.81
THE TIME OF CHRIST -
WITH JESUS, WITH THE APOSTLES.
00:13:39.85\00:13:43.59
DID JESUS INTEND FOR HIS PEOPLE
TO BE KEEPING THE SABBATH AFTER
00:13:43.62\00:13:47.46
HE DIED FOR THEIR SINS
DOWN THROUGH HISTORY IN THE LAST
00:13:47.49\00:13:51.93
DAYS? YOU CAN
LOOK IN THAT PROPHECY
00:13:51.96\00:13:55.30
WHERE JESUS, TALKING ABOUT THE
END OF THE WORLD IN MATTHEW 24,
00:13:55.33\00:13:57.33
AND HE'S TALKING ABOUT THIS TIME
OF TROUBLE, AND HE SAID, "BUT
00:13:57.37\00:14:00.44
PRAY THAT YOUR FLIGHT BE
NOT IN THE WINTER, NEITHER
00:14:00.47\00:14:04.07
ON THE SABBATH DAY."
WHY, IF HIS PEOPLE WERE NOT
00:14:04.11\00:14:08.11
KEEPING THE SABBATH ANYMORE,
THEN WHY WOULD HE SAY THAT?
00:14:08.14\00:14:11.75
EXCEPT MAYBE HE KNEW
THEY WOULD BE KEEPING IT.
00:14:11.78\00:14:14.52
IF YOU LOOK IN REVELATION 14
- REMEMBER, THE 144,000 ARE IN
00:14:14.55\00:14:18.42
REVELATION 14 - IF YOU
LOOK IN VERSE 7, THERE THE ANGEL
00:14:18.45\00:14:22.06
DECLARES, "WORSHIP HIM WHO MADE
THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH, THE
00:14:22.09\00:14:26.83
SEA AND SPRINGS OF
WATER." DO YOU KNOW, THAT'S AN
00:14:26.86\00:14:30.80
EXTRACT RIGHT FROM THE FOURTH
COMMANDMENT ABOUT THE SABBATH?
00:14:30.83\00:14:35.74
'FOR IN SIX DAYS THE LORD MADE
THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH AND THE
00:14:35.77\00:14:39.14
SEA.' AND THEN HE'S - THE
ANGEL'S SAYING, 'WORSHIP HIM.'
00:14:39.17\00:14:42.68
WHAT DO WE DO IN A
SPECIAL WAY ON THE SABBATH?
00:14:42.71\00:14:44.95
IT IS A SPECIAL TIME
OF COLLECTIVE WORSHIP.
00:14:44.98\00:14:47.48
BY THE WAY, I MEET PEOPLE
AND THEY SAY, 'OH PASTOR DOUG, I
00:14:47.52\00:14:49.42
BELIEVE YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT
AND I KEEP THE SABBATH DAY.
00:14:49.45\00:14:53.15
I DON'T DO ANY WORK ON THE
SABBATH DAY.' YOU'D BE SURPRISED
00:14:53.19\00:14:55.82
HOW MANY PASTORS HAVE COME
UP TO ME, RIGHT HERE IN ORLANDO.
00:14:55.86\00:15:00.43
NEXT WEEK, I'LL BE AT WHAT
THEY CALL THE NRB CONVENTION -
00:15:00.46\00:15:04.37
NATIONAL RELIGIOUS BROADCASTERS
CONVENTION - A LOT OF DEAR
00:15:04.40\00:15:06.94
FRIENDS FROM OTHER CHURCHES -
AND PASTORS, WE KNOW EACH OTHER
00:15:06.97\00:15:09.44
- WE'RE FRIENDS. THEY
KNOW ME, THEY SEE OUR TV
00:15:09.47\00:15:11.57
PROGRAMS, THEY
KNOW WHERE I STAND.
00:15:11.61\00:15:14.24
AND THEY'LL COME TO ME SECRETLY
- I'M NOT GOING TO BETRAY ANY OF
00:15:14.28\00:15:17.18
THEM - THEY SAY, 'BROTHER DOUG,
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE RIGHT ON THAT
00:15:17.21\00:15:19.75
SABBATH BUSINESS AND I WANT YOU
TO KNOW I DON'T DO ANY WORK ON
00:15:19.78\00:15:21.48
SATURDAY.' I SAY, 'YEAH,
BUT DO YOU GATHER FOR WORSHIP?'
00:15:21.52\00:15:26.02
'WELL, YOU KNOW, MY
SUNDAY FRIENDS PROBABLY WOULDN'T
00:15:26.05\00:15:28.36
UNDERSTAND IF I DID THAT.' BUT,
YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE SAYS, IN
00:15:28.39\00:15:32.19
LEVITICUS 23, 'THE SABBATH IS A
HOLY CONVOCATION.' YOU KNOW WHAT
00:15:32.23\00:15:36.67
A CONVENTION IS? CONVOCATION
- ASSEMBLY - A COMING TOGETHER.
00:15:36.70\00:15:41.10
THE PEOPLE OF GOD WOULD COME
TOGETHER TO WORSHIP THE LORD.
00:15:41.14\00:15:44.21
IT'S A TIME TO SPEND
QUALITY TIME WITH GOD.
00:15:44.24\00:15:47.54
DOES THE BIBLE TEACH THAT GOD'S
END-TIME PEOPLE WOULD ALSO BE
00:15:47.58\00:15:51.45
KEEPING THE
SEVENTH-DAY SABBATH HOLY?
00:15:51.48\00:15:54.25
IT SAYS, "AND THE DRAGON WAS
WROTH WITH THE WOMAN" - THIS IS
00:15:54.28\00:15:57.32
IN REVELATION CHAPTER 12:17 -
"AND WENT TO MAKE WAR WITH THE
00:15:57.35\00:16:00.72
REMNANT OF HER SEED" -
AND, HERE, THE TWO OUTSTANDING
00:16:00.76\00:16:03.19
CHARACTERISTICS: "WHICH KEEP THE
COMMANDMENTS OF GOD AND HAVE THE
00:16:03.22\00:16:06.73
TESTIMONY OF JESUS
CHRIST." YOU CAN READ, ALSO, IN
00:16:06.76\00:16:10.17
REVELATION
12:14 - SIMILAR VERSE.
00:16:10.20\00:16:13.13
"HERE IS THE PATIENCE OF THE
SAINTS: HERE ARE THEY THAT KEEP
00:16:13.17\00:16:15.97
THE COMMANDMENTS OF
GOD, AND THE FAITH OF JESUS."
00:16:16.00\00:16:19.31
SO YOU CAN SEE THAT ALL THROUGH
REVELATION - NOW, EVERYBODY
00:16:19.34\00:16:24.61
KEEPS SOME OF THE
COMMANDMENTS SOME OF THE TIME.
00:16:24.65\00:16:27.55
MOST OF YOU KEEP THE
COMMANDMENTS WHEN YOU'RE
00:16:27.58\00:16:29.22
SLEEPING. (LAUGHTER) YOU GO
TO PRISON, YOU'RE GOING TO MEET
00:16:29.25\00:16:33.05
PEOPLE THAT KEEP A LOT OF THE
COMMANDMENTS. GOD IS LOOKING FOR
00:16:33.09\00:16:36.16
PEOPLE THAT BELIEVE ALL OF THEM
AND ARE, BY THE GRACE OF GOD,
00:16:36.19\00:16:39.39
GOING TO DO THEIR BEST TO
NOT JUST BE HEARERS, BUT DOERS.
00:16:39.43\00:16:43.40
THE BIBLE SAYS, 'WHOSOEVER
THEREFORE SHALL BREAK ONE
00:16:43.43\00:16:46.87
COMMANDMENT, HE IS GUILTY OF
ALL.' SO, IF YOU GO TO THE JUDGE
00:16:46.90\00:16:50.37
AND YOU SAY, 'I REALIZE THAT
I KILLED THAT PERSON, BUT I KEEP
00:16:50.41\00:16:53.01
ALL THE OTHER COMMANDMENTS.' IS
THAT DEFENSE GOING TO WORK VERY
00:16:53.04\00:16:56.48
WELL? >>NO.
00:16:56.51\00:16:57.95
>>YOU KNOW, GOD SAYS, 'LOOK,
YOU SHOULD DO YOUR BEST, BY THE
00:16:57.98\00:17:01.18
GRACE OF GOD, TO
KEEP ALL OF THEM.'
00:17:01.22\00:17:03.52
>>THAT'S RIGHT.
>>NOW, AGAIN, THEY'RE NOT THE
00:17:03.55\00:17:04.75
TEN SUGGESTIONS. AND IT SAYS,
"BLESSED ARE THEY THAT DO HIS
00:17:04.79\00:17:09.62
COMMANDMENTS, THAT THEY MAY HAVE
RIGHT TO THE TREE OF LIFE, AND
00:17:09.66\00:17:12.89
MAY ENTER IN THROUGH
THE GATES INTO THE CITY."
00:17:12.93\00:17:14.46
THAT, AGAIN, IS
REVELATION 22:14.
00:17:14.50\00:17:17.53
WILL ALL OF THE SAVED BE
KEEPING THE SABBATH IN HEAVEN?
00:17:17.57\00:17:20.70
>>YES. >>WELL, I THINK SO.
00:17:20.74\00:17:23.07
YOU CAN READ HERE, IT SAYS
IN ISAIAH 66, VERSES 22 AND 23,
00:17:23.10\00:17:27.98
"FOR AS THE NEW HEAVENS AND THE
NEW EARTH, WHICH I WILL MAKE,
00:17:28.01\00:17:31.28
SHALL REMAIN BEFORE ME, SAITH
THE LORD, SO SHALL YOUR SEED AND
00:17:31.31\00:17:35.52
YOUR NAME REMAIN. AND
IT SHALL COME TO PASS,
00:17:35.55\00:17:38.45
THAT...FROM ONE SABBATH
TO ANOTHER, SHALL ALL FLESH
00:17:38.49\00:17:42.32
COME TO WORSHIP BEFORE
ME..." IS ALL FLESH JEWS?
00:17:42.36\00:17:46.49
OR DOES ALL
FLESH MEAN EVERYBODY?
00:17:46.53\00:17:48.23
>>EVERYBODY. >>HE'S
TALKING ABOUT, AS THE
00:17:48.26\00:17:49.96
NEW HEAVENS AND THE NEW
EARTH - THAT'S FUTURE, RIGHT?
00:17:50.00\00:17:53.10
SO, IF THEY KEPT IT BACK IN THE
GARDEN OF EDEN - IN THE DAYS OF
00:17:53.13\00:17:59.17
ADAM, RIGHT? IF
WE KNOW MOSES AND THE
00:17:59.21\00:18:01.68
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL KEPT IT,
AND THE PEOPLE OF GOD IN THE OLD
00:18:01.71\00:18:04.91
TESTAMENT KEPT IT, AND JESUS
KEPT IT, AND THE APOSTLES KEPT
00:18:04.95\00:18:08.78
IT, AND WE'RE GOING TO
KEEP IT IN HEAVEN, WHY WOULDN'T
00:18:08.82\00:18:12.19
WE KEEP IT NOW? DO WE NEED REST
NOW? DO WE NEED QUALITY TIME
00:18:12.22\00:18:19.46
WITH GOD NOW? YOU
KNOW, FRIENDS, THIS IS
00:18:19.49\00:18:22.06
JUST SUCH A - A
VERY IMPORTANT SUBJECT.
00:18:22.10\00:18:24.77
SOME PEOPLE WOULD BE THINKING,
'OH, PASTOR DOUG, YOU'RE MAKING
00:18:24.80\00:18:26.53
A BIG DEAL OUT OF ONE
COMMANDMENT.' IT ALWAYS STRIKES
00:18:26.57\00:18:30.61
ME AS PECULIAR - AND I DIDN'T
ALWAYS BELIEVE THESE THINGS.
00:18:30.64\00:18:33.98
I JUST SAID, 'LORD,
I WANT TO BE IN HEAVEN.
00:18:34.01\00:18:36.01
I WANT TO FOLLOW YOUR
WORD. IT'S IN THE BIBLE.
00:18:36.04\00:18:38.01
IT MAY NOT BE POPULAR, BUT I
WANT TO BE FAITHFUL.' I KNOW,
00:18:38.05\00:18:42.88
FROM WORSHIPING WITH MY BRETHREN
AND SISTREN IN ALL THESE
00:18:42.92\00:18:47.46
DIFFERENT CHURCHES, THAT I COULD
GO TO ALMOST ANY CHURCH IN TOWN
00:18:47.49\00:18:51.29
AND I COULD STAND UP, IF THEY
INVITE ME TO PREACH, AND I COULD
00:18:51.33\00:18:53.83
PREACH A SERMON ON 'HONOR YOUR
FATHER AND MOTHER' AND YOU'D
00:18:53.86\00:18:57.27
HEAR 'AMEN!' 'AMEN!'
00:18:57.30\00:18:58.67
- THEY'D NOD,
FOLD ARMS - 'AMEN!'
00:18:58.70\00:19:00.10
- THEY'D LOOK AT
THEIR TEENAGERS - 'AMEN!'
00:19:00.14\00:19:01.30
(LAUGHTER) I KNOW
BECAUSE I'VE DONE IT.
00:19:01.34\00:19:03.51
I COULD GO AND I COULD PREACH A
SERMON ON 'THOU SHALL NOT STEAL'
00:19:03.54\00:19:07.78
AND FOLKS MIGHT SQUIRM A LITTLE
BIT BUT - 'AMEN!' I COULD TALK
00:19:07.81\00:19:11.55
ABOUT 'THOU SHALL NOT COMMIT
ADULTERY' - IT GETS QUIET -
00:19:11.58\00:19:15.62
(LAUGHTER) - BUT YOU'LL HEAR
SOME AMENS. I COULD TALK ABOUT
00:19:15.65\00:19:21.16
'DO NOT HAVE OTHER GODS BEFORE
ME' - 'THOU SHALL NOT TAKE THE
00:19:21.19\00:19:23.73
NAME OF THE LORD THY GOD' -
I COULD PREACH ON ALMOST ANY OF
00:19:23.76\00:19:25.93
THE OTHER NINE COMMANDMENTS
AND EVERYBODY'D SAY, 'AMEN!'
00:19:25.96\00:19:30.80
BUT IF YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO
SAY, 'REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY -
00:19:30.83\00:19:34.24
THE SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH'
- PEOPLE SAY, 'OH, NO, NO -
00:19:34.27\00:19:36.44
WE'RE NOT UNDER THE LAW, WE'RE
UNDER GRACE.' (LAUGHTER) PEOPLE
00:19:36.47\00:19:39.97
HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS UNTIL YOU PRESENT
00:19:40.01\00:19:42.34
THE ONE THAT
THEY'RE ALL FORGETTING.
00:19:42.38\00:19:44.11
WHY DID GOD SAY, 'REMEMBER'?
BECAUSE HE KNEW WE'D FORGET.
00:19:44.15\00:19:46.65
>>YEP. YEP.
00:19:46.68\00:19:48.45
>>THERE'S SOMETHING INCON - IF
YOU'RE GOING TO BE A BIBLICALLY
00:19:48.48\00:19:50.99
HONEST CHRISTIAN, THEN AT LEAST
SAY, 'PASTOR DOUG, YOU KNOW,
00:19:51.02\00:19:55.36
KEEPING THE SABBATH IS GOING
TO BE A REAL PROBLEM FOR ME.'
00:19:55.39\00:19:57.26
ALRIGHT, WELL
LET'S JUST BE HONEST.
00:19:57.29\00:19:58.89
GIVE IT TO GOD. BUT
DON'T SAY IT DOESN'T MATTER.
00:19:58.93\00:20:01.60
>>AMEN. >>NOW
THIS IS A REVELATION
00:20:01.63\00:20:03.26
PROGRAM - PROPHECY PROGRAM
- WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT
00:20:03.30\00:20:05.73
THIS, PASTOR
DOUG? FOLLOW MY LOGIC.
00:20:05.77\00:20:07.94
SEE IF IT DOESN'T MAKE
SENSE. DANIEL CHAPTER 3,
00:20:07.97\00:20:12.01
THE KING MAKES A LAW.
EVERYBODY'S GOT TO WORSHIP
00:20:12.04\00:20:15.08
THE IMAGE OR THEY DIE.
SHADRACH, MESHACH AND ABEDNEGO
00:20:15.11\00:20:19.85
WILL NOT WORSHIP THE IMAGE
BECAUSE ONE OF THE COMMANDMENTS
00:20:19.88\00:20:22.28
SAYS 'DON'T DO IT.' DO
NOT MAKE IMAGES AND BOW DOWN.
00:20:22.32\00:20:26.22
DANIEL CHAPTER 6 - KING DARIUS
MAKES A LAW - 'I AM TO BE YOUR
00:20:26.25\00:20:31.23
GOD FOR THIRTY
DAYS' - JUST THIRTY DAYS.
00:20:31.26\00:20:34.50
DANIEL SAYS, 'I AM NOT GOING
TO CLOSE MY WINDOWS AND STOP
00:20:34.56\00:20:37.17
PRAYING TO JEHOVAH.
BECAUSE ONE OF THE COMMANDMENTS
00:20:37.20\00:20:40.94
SAYS, 'THOU SHALL NOT
HAVE OTHER GODS.' SO HE GOES
00:20:40.97\00:20:44.41
TO THE LION'S DEN. BUT GOD SAVES
HIM. GOD SAVES SHADRACH AND
00:20:44.44\00:20:48.51
MESHACH AND ABEDNEGO
FROM THE FIERY FURNACE.
00:20:48.54\00:20:50.95
REVELATION 13, 'WHOEVER DOESN'T
WORSHIP THE BEAST AND HIS IMAGE
00:20:50.98\00:20:55.22
CANNOT BUY OR SELL AND WILL
ULTIMATELY BE KILLED.' IF WE
00:20:55.25\00:20:59.39
DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT
THE LAW IS, THEN HOW ARE WE
00:20:59.42\00:21:02.52
GOING TO HAVE THE FAITH OF
DANIEL, SHADRACH, MESHACH, AND
00:21:02.56\00:21:05.46
ABEDNEGO IN THE LAST DAYS?
WE'RE GOING TO BE LIKE ALL THE
00:21:05.49\00:21:08.00
OTHER COMPROMISING, WISHY-WASHY
PEOPLE WHO SAY, 'LORD, LORD' BUT
00:21:08.03\00:21:11.60
THEY'RE NOT REALLY
DOING WHAT GOD SAYS.
00:21:11.63\00:21:14.20
SO, YES IT DOES MATTER, FRIENDS.
AND THE DEVIL'S VERY CLEVER.
00:21:14.24\00:21:18.34
BACK IN THE DAYS OF SHADRACH,
MESHACH, AND ABEDNEGO, HE SAID,
00:21:18.37\00:21:21.88
'I'M GOING TO SEE IF I CAN MAKE
A LAW AND GET THEM TO BREAK THE
00:21:21.91\00:21:23.71
SECOND COMMANDMENT.' AND THEN,
IN THE DAYS OF DANIEL, WITH
00:21:23.75\00:21:27.68
DARIUS, HE SAID, 'I'M GOING
TO TRY AND GET THEM TO BREAK THE
00:21:27.72\00:21:29.35
FIRST COMMANDMENT.' AND HERE
WE ARE, AT THE END OF TIME, HE'S
00:21:29.38\00:21:32.39
GOING TO SAY, 'I'M GOING TO
GET THEM TO BREAK THE FOURTH
00:21:32.42\00:21:34.12
COMMANDMENT, BUT I'LL BE VERY
CLEVER - I'LL SAY, 'YEAH, GO TO
00:21:34.16\00:21:36.32
CHURCH, JUST DON'T GO THE
SEVENTH DAY.'' SEE, GOD - HE
00:21:36.36\00:21:39.96
KEEPS TRYING TO - IT'S LIKE WITH
DANIEL - YEAH, YOU DON'T HAVE TO
00:21:40.00\00:21:43.13
WORSHIP OTHER GODS
FOREVER, JUST FOR THIRTY DAYS.
00:21:43.16\00:21:46.74
JUST SHUT YOUR WINDOWS AND DON'T
LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE FOR THIRTY
00:21:46.77\00:21:50.54
DAYS. SEE, THE DEVIL, HE'S VERY
00:21:50.57\00:21:52.17
CLEVER, BUT A COMMANDMENT'S A
COMMANDMENT. CAN WE BE CERTAIN
00:21:52.21\00:21:57.75
THAT MODERN DAY, WHAT WE CALL
SATURDAY, IS THE SAME SABBATH
00:21:57.78\00:22:00.92
DAY THAT JESUS KEPT?
PEOPLE SAY, 'WELL, PASTOR DOUG,
00:22:00.95\00:22:03.45
CALENDARS CHANGE AND HOW
DO WE KNOW WHICH DAY IT WAS?'
00:22:03.49\00:22:07.26
READ IN YOUR BIBLE - IT'S
PRETTY CLEAR - LOOK IN LUKE, FOR
00:22:07.29\00:22:09.92
INSTANCE, CHAPTER 23 - GO TO
VERSE 54 - IT'S NEAR THE END OF
00:22:09.96\00:22:14.40
LUKE - IT SAYS THE DAY WHEN
CHRIST WAS CRUCIFIED WAS THE
00:22:14.46\00:22:17.70
PREPARATION - WHAT WE COMMONLY
CALL FRIDAY - THEY CALL IT GOOD
00:22:17.73\00:22:20.37
FRIDAY - "...AND THE SABBATH
DREW ON...AND THEY RETURNED, AND
00:22:20.40\00:22:24.41
PREPARED SPICES AND OINTMENTS:
AND RESTED THE SABBATH DAY
00:22:24.44\00:22:27.54
ACCORDING TO THE COMMANDMENT."
NOW, LUKE IS A GENTILE.
00:22:27.58\00:22:31.71
WHY WOULD HE SAY THEY RESTED
ON THE SABBATH ACCORDING TO THE
00:22:31.75\00:22:33.72
COMMANDMENT, IF JESUS TAUGHT THE
DISCIPLES THE SABBATH DOESN'T
00:22:33.75\00:22:36.15
MATTER? HOW CAN
ANYONE THINK THAT THE
00:22:36.18\00:22:39.25
DISCIPLES DIDN'T THINK THE
SABBATH WAS IMPORTANT, BECAUSE
00:22:39.29\00:22:41.56
IT WAS SO IMPORTANT TO THEM THAT
EVEN AFTER JESUS WAS DEAD AND NO
00:22:41.59\00:22:45.39
LONGER SPEAKING, THEY LOOK
AT EACH OTHER AND THEY SAY,
00:22:45.43\00:22:47.86
'LOOK, THE SUN IS GOING DOWN.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO
00:22:47.93\00:22:50.37
FINISH EMBALMING HIS BODY BEFORE
THE SABBATH, SO LET'S JUST DO
00:22:50.40\00:22:53.60
OUR BEST TO KIND OF WRAP HIM
UP. WE'LL PUT HIM IN THE TOMB.
00:22:53.64\00:22:55.70
WE WILL COME BACK
SUNDAY MORNING AND FINISH.
00:22:55.74\00:22:58.11
WE'RE GOING TO GO HOME AND KEEP
THE COMMANDMENT.' SO WHERE DID
00:22:58.14\00:23:01.61
THE DISCIPLES EVER GET THE
NOTION THAT IT DIDN'T MATTER TO
00:23:01.64\00:23:03.98
JESUS? IT WAS SO
IMPORTANT TO THEM AND
00:23:04.01\00:23:06.72
SO IMPORTANT TO JESUS THEY WOULD
NOT EVEN FINISH THEIR LABOR OF
00:23:06.75\00:23:10.05
LOVE BECAUSE THE
SABBATH WAS APPROACHING.
00:23:10.09\00:23:12.35
>>AMEN. >>AND
THEN ON THE FIRST DAY
00:23:12.39\00:23:15.52
OF THE WEEK THEY
CAME BACK TO FINISH.
00:23:15.56\00:23:17.13
PRAISE GOD, THE ANGELS HAD
ROLLED AWAY THE STONE, CHRIST
00:23:17.16\00:23:19.66
ROSE, AND THAT WAS THE
FIRST DAY WHICH WAS WHAT?
00:23:19.69\00:23:22.23
EASTER SUNDAY. SO,
THERE YOU'VE GOT IT,
00:23:22.26\00:23:25.50
FRIENDS, YOU'VE GOT FRIDAY THE
PREPARATION DAY, SABBATH IS THE
00:23:25.53\00:23:28.17
DAY - DO YOU REALIZE JESUS DIED
JUST BEFORE THE SABBATH AND HE
00:23:28.20\00:23:31.11
RESTED FROM HIS
WORK OF SAVING MAN?
00:23:31.14\00:23:33.51
HE ROSE SUNDAY MORNING TO
CONTINUE HIS WORK AS OUR HIGH
00:23:33.54\00:23:36.34
PRIEST. JESUS EVEN KEPT THE
00:23:36.38\00:23:38.35
SABBATH IN DEATH. >>YEP.
00:23:38.38\00:23:42.52
>>WHAT BLESSING IS PROMISED
BY THE SABBATH COMMANDMENT?
00:23:42.55\00:23:47.79
JESUS SAYS, 'COME UNTO ME,
ALL YE THAT LABOR AND ARE HEAVY
00:23:47.82\00:23:51.29
LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE YOU
REST.' SO EVERY COMMANDMENT OF
00:23:51.33\00:23:56.56
GOD - YOU'VE GOT THE LETTER
OF THE LAW AND YOU'VE GOT THE
00:23:56.60\00:23:59.47
SPIRIT OF THE LAW. WE'VE
TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE, RIGHT?
00:23:59.50\00:24:02.44
LETTER OF THE LAW SAYS 'DON'T
COMMIT ADULTERY.' THE SPIRIT OF
00:24:02.47\00:24:05.67
THE LAW SAYS, 'DO NOT BE
THINKING IT IN YOUR HEART.'
00:24:05.71\00:24:09.08
LETTER OF THE LAW: DO NOT KILL -
DO NOT MURDER, IT ACTUALLY SAYS
00:24:09.11\00:24:13.25
- SPIRIT OF THE LAW: DO NOT
BE ANGRY WITH YOUR BROTHER OR
00:24:13.28\00:24:16.18
SISTER WITHOUT A CAUSE.
LETTER OF THE LAW: DO NOT BEAR
00:24:16.22\00:24:19.92
FALSE WITNESS - SPIRIT
OF THE LAW: LET YOUR YES BE
00:24:19.95\00:24:22.79
YES AND YOUR NO BE NO.
BE HONEST IN YOUR HEART
00:24:22.82\00:24:25.73
- IN YOUR COMMUNICATIONS.
SOME PEOPLE LIE WITH THEIR BODY
00:24:25.76\00:24:28.06
LANGUAGE - JESUS SAID, 'BE
HONEST.' LETTER OF THE LAW:
00:24:28.10\00:24:32.53
REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY TO KEEP
IT HOLY - SPIRIT OF THE LAW:
00:24:32.57\00:24:36.60
COME UNTO ME AND I
WILL GIVE YOU REST.
00:24:36.64\00:24:39.57
AND, AS PEOPLE GATHER TOGETHER
TO WORSHIP GOD EVERY SABBATH
00:24:39.61\00:24:42.68
DAY, THERE IS A REST THAT
COMES. IT REMINDS US THAT HE'S
00:24:42.71\00:24:47.42
THE GOD WHO CREATED US.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT THE SALVATION
00:24:47.45\00:24:51.29
IS ALL ABOUT 'I WILL CREATE A
NEW HEART WITHIN YOU.' THE BIBLE
00:24:51.32\00:24:55.49
SAYS, 'WE WILL BE' - 'OLD THINGS
ARE PASSED AWAY, ALL THINGS ARE
00:24:55.52\00:24:58.16
MADE NEW.' WE ARE A
NEW CREATION IN CHRIST.
00:24:58.19\00:25:02.53
DO WE STILL NEED
A DAY OF REST TODAY?
00:25:02.56\00:25:05.57
DO WE STILL NEED
A DAY OF WORSHIP?
00:25:05.60\00:25:08.07
THEN DID GOD TELL US, 'I
HAVE SET ASIDE AND BLESSED A
00:25:08.10\00:25:10.54
PARTICULAR DAY.' SHOULD WE SAY,
'GOD, IT'S NOT CONVENIENT TO DO
00:25:10.57\00:25:14.28
IT THE DAY YOU'VE PICKED,
I'M GOING TO DO IT MY OWN DAY'?
00:25:14.31\00:25:16.85
WELL, THAT DEPENDS.
WHO'S YOUR GOD, YOU OR HIM?
00:25:16.88\00:25:19.91
DO WE DO WHAT GOD SAYS? >>AMEN.
00:25:19.95\00:25:23.05
>>HE SAYS, 'I HAVE MADE AN
APPOINTMENT WITH YOU ON THE
00:25:23.08\00:25:26.42
SEVENTH DAY. IF
YOU LOVE ME, PROVE IT.'
00:25:26.45\00:25:29.66
>>PROVE IT. >>'KEEP
MY COMMANDMENTS.' NOW,
00:25:29.69\00:25:31.83
BEFORE I GO ANY FARTHER - I KNOW
SOME PEOPLE ARE HEARING THIS
00:25:31.86\00:25:34.20
AND YOUR MINDS ARE SPINNING.
YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF
00:25:34.23\00:25:36.70
THINGS YOU COULD TEACH
IN A REVELATION SEMINAR.
00:25:36.73\00:25:38.80
IT'S INTERESTING TRIVIA.
PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW, 'WELL, YOU
00:25:38.83\00:25:42.84
KNOW, PASTOR DOUG, SO WHEN DOES
THIS AGE BEGIN AND WHAT DOES
00:25:42.87\00:25:46.27
THIS SYMBOL IN REVELATION MEAN?
AND WHAT DOES THAT SYMBOL MEAN?
00:25:46.31\00:25:50.25
OH, THAT'S VERY INTERESTING -
VERY INTERESTING.' BUT, YOU KNOW
00:25:50.28\00:25:52.71
WHAT'S DIFFERENT
ABOUT THIS PRESENTATION?
00:25:52.75\00:25:55.18
WHEN PEOPLE LEARN THE
SABBATH TRUTH, THEY GO, 'WHOA!
00:25:55.22\00:25:58.75
THAT WOULD
ACTUALLY AFFECT MY TIME.
00:25:58.79\00:26:01.69
THAT WOULD AFFECT MY LIFE.
THAT WOULD AFFECT MY SCHEDULE.'
00:26:01.72\00:26:07.93
YOU KNOW, MY FATHER, WHEN
I WAS GROWING UP, HE WAS A
00:26:07.96\00:26:09.70
MULTI-MILLIONAIRE -
HE HAD A LOT OF MONEY.
00:26:09.73\00:26:12.13
HE WAS ALWAYS BUSY. I
WANTED TIME WITH MY FATHER.
00:26:12.17\00:26:14.84
AND HE'D SAY,
'DOUG, LOOK, I'M BUSY.
00:26:14.87\00:26:17.41
I'VE GOT A LOT I'VE GOT TO DO.
HERE'S FIVE DOLLARS, GO TO THE
00:26:17.44\00:26:19.57
MOVIE.' IT WAS EASIER
FOR HIM TO GIVE ME A TIP THAN
00:26:19.61\00:26:23.04
TO GIVE ME HIS TIME. >>WOW.
00:26:23.08\00:26:26.01
>>AND, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES YOU
GO, 'LORD, YEP - PRAISE THE LORD
00:26:26.05\00:26:28.88
- PRAISE THE LORD.' BUT WHEN YOU
START GIVING GOD YOUR TIME, THAT
00:26:28.92\00:26:31.39
MEANS HE'S REALLY YOUR GOD.
AND THAT'S WHY THIS SUBJECT IS
00:26:31.42\00:26:34.39
SUCH A SERIOUS SUBJECT,
BECAUSE IT REALLY HAS TO DO
00:26:34.42\00:26:37.66
WITH 'IS HE OUR GOD?'
JESUS SAID, 'IF YOU LOVE ME,
00:26:37.69\00:26:41.40
KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS.'
AND HE WANTS TO BLESS
00:26:41.43\00:26:43.63
YOU, FRIENDS, AMEN? >>AMEN.
00:26:43.67\00:26:45.87
>>NOW, THIS IS A
COMMANDMENT OF GOD.
00:26:45.90\00:26:49.40
HE SAYS, 'REMEMBER THE SEVENTH
DAY' - NOT 'REMEMBER A SEVENTH
00:26:49.44\00:26:52.87
DAY.' THIS IS THE SEAL OF GOD
BECAUSE THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF
00:26:52.91\00:26:56.64
GOD'S LAW YOU'VE GOT THE NAME OF
GOD, YOU'VE GOT THE WORD 'HOLY',
00:26:56.68\00:27:01.28
YOU'VE GOT THE CONTEXT
OF WORSHIP, YOU'VE GOT TIME.
00:27:01.32\00:27:04.72
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ARE
DIVIDED IN TWO PARTS: THE FIRST
00:27:04.75\00:27:08.06
COMMANDMENTS DEAL WITH OUR LOVE
RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD; SECOND
00:27:08.09\00:27:12.03
GROUP - COMMANDMENT CHAPTER -
NUMBER 5 ON THROUGH 10 DEAL WITH
00:27:12.06\00:27:17.00
OUR LOVE FOR OUR FELLOW MAN.
IN THE MIDDLE OF GOD'S LAW, THE
00:27:17.03\00:27:21.14
LONGEST COMMANDMENT - IN
THE CENTER OF HIS LAW - THE ONLY
00:27:21.17\00:27:25.41
COMMANDMENT THAT BEGINS WITH THE
WORD 'REMEMBER' IS VERY UNIQUE
00:27:25.44\00:27:30.58
BECAUSE IT TELLS US THAT
HE NOT ONLY HAS OUR MINDS,
00:27:30.61\00:27:34.65
HE'S GOT OUR TIME.
AND THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS.
00:27:34.68\00:27:38.22
HE IS OUR GOD - WE WORSHIP HIM
AND HE IS GOING TO BE FIRST IN
00:27:38.25\00:27:41.26
OUR LIVES. >>AMEN.
00:27:41.29\00:27:43.43
