Hello, friends, welcome
to another Wednesday night
00:00:20.32\00:00:23.15
Bible study here at
the 3ABN Worship Center.
00:00:23.18\00:00:25.75
Thank you for tuning
into A Sharper Focus.
00:00:25.79\00:00:28.59
Can we all have
say amen to that?
00:00:28.62\00:00:29.96
Amen!
00:00:29.99\00:00:31.33
You know we are all
hoping to focus more clearly
00:00:31.36\00:00:33.50
not only on gaining knowledge
00:00:33.53\00:00:35.86
but also strengthening
our relationship with the Lord
00:00:35.90\00:00:38.40
who imparts
this knowledge to us.
00:00:38.43\00:00:41.07
Tonight, we're
continuing on the topic
00:00:41.10\00:00:43.94
the truth about the first day,
the truth about the first day
00:00:43.97\00:00:47.88
and we've covered a
number of the questions.
00:00:47.91\00:00:49.54
Thus far we've covered 16
00:00:49.58\00:00:52.21
but we've have to go
all the way up to 35,
00:00:52.25\00:00:53.88
and I'll tell
you in just a moment
00:00:53.92\00:00:55.78
how to get a
copy of the lessons,
00:00:55.82\00:00:57.25
where to download those.
00:00:57.29\00:00:59.15
But before I tell
you about the website
00:00:59.19\00:01:01.42
and before we
sing our opening song,
00:01:01.46\00:01:02.96
our theme song,
00:01:02.99\00:01:04.33
let's begin with
a word of prayer.
00:01:04.36\00:01:06.13
Loving Father in
heaven, thank You for Your Word,
00:01:06.16\00:01:08.83
it is a lamp unto our feet
and a light unto our paths.
00:01:08.86\00:01:12.47
We do pray tonight,
Father, as we open Your Word
00:01:12.50\00:01:15.07
that You'll open our hearts
00:01:15.10\00:01:17.11
that we would hear
what the spirit is saying
00:01:17.14\00:01:19.67
to Your people, to the church.
00:01:19.71\00:01:22.64
Lead us, strengthen us in
our dedication to serve You
00:01:22.68\00:01:26.95
and represent You,
in Jesus' name we pray.
00:01:26.98\00:01:29.85
Amen.
00:01:29.88\00:01:31.55
Now, lesson number 32
00:01:31.59\00:01:32.95
can be found at
the following website,
00:01:32.99\00:01:34.82
asf.3abn.org.
00:01:34.86\00:01:38.63
That's asf.3abn.org,
00:01:38.66\00:01:42.76
download lesson number 32
00:01:42.80\00:01:45.63
entitled the ''The
Truth about the First Day".
00:01:45.67\00:01:48.70
The truth about the first day.
00:01:48.74\00:01:50.21
This has been a very
good lesson study thus far.
00:01:50.24\00:01:53.38
And tonight we're gonna
unfold some more things.
00:01:53.41\00:01:56.01
You know, one of the big...
00:01:56.04\00:01:57.55
Well, let me prevent myself
from going into the lesson
00:01:57.58\00:01:59.61
because if I lay the
foundation then sing a song,
00:01:59.65\00:02:02.15
you'll forget what I said.
00:02:02.18\00:02:03.59
So let's go ahead and
begin with our theme song,
00:02:03.62\00:02:06.55
our theme song
tonight is victory in?
00:02:06.59\00:02:09.72
"Victory in Jesus"
let's sing this song together.
00:02:09.76\00:02:11.63
I heard an old, old story
00:02:20.37\00:02:24.07
How a Savior came from glory
00:02:24.11\00:02:27.88
How He gave His life on
Calvary to save a wretch like me
00:02:27.91\00:02:35.32
I heard about His groaning
00:02:35.35\00:02:39.25
Of His precious blood's atoning
00:02:39.29\00:02:42.96
Then I repented of my sins
00:02:42.99\00:02:46.70
And won the victory
00:02:46.73\00:02:50.53
O victory in Jesus
00:02:50.57\00:02:54.14
My Savior, forever
00:02:54.17\00:02:58.07
He sought me and bought me
00:02:58.11\00:03:01.84
With His redeeming blood
00:03:01.88\00:03:05.51
He loved me ere I knew Him
00:03:05.55\00:03:09.52
And all my love is due Him
00:03:09.55\00:03:13.25
He plunged me to victory
00:03:13.29\00:03:16.96
Beneath the cleansing flood
00:03:16.99\00:03:20.83
I heard about a mansion
00:03:20.86\00:03:24.53
He has built for me in glory
00:03:24.57\00:03:28.30
And I heard about
the streets of gold
00:03:28.34\00:03:32.11
Beyond the crystal sea
00:03:32.14\00:03:35.88
About the angels singing
00:03:35.91\00:03:39.61
And the old redemption story
00:03:39.65\00:03:43.42
And some sweet
day I'll sing up there
00:03:43.45\00:03:47.16
The song of victory
00:03:47.19\00:03:49.99
Key change.
00:03:50.03\00:03:51.36
O victory in Jesus
00:03:51.39\00:03:54.83
My Savior, forever
00:03:54.86\00:03:58.60
He sought me and bought me
00:03:58.63\00:04:02.40
With His redeeming blood
00:04:02.44\00:04:06.04
He loved me ere I knew Him
00:04:06.07\00:04:09.91
And all my love is due Him
00:04:09.94\00:04:13.62
He plunged me to victory
00:04:13.65\00:04:17.39
Beneath the cleansing flood
00:04:17.42\00:04:21.32
He plunged me to victory
00:04:21.36\00:04:25.09
Beneath the cleansing flood.
00:04:25.13\00:04:31.40
Amen? Amen.
00:04:31.43\00:04:32.97
Wonderful song,
"Victory in Jesus".
00:04:33.00\00:04:35.30
Tonight, our topic is
00:04:35.34\00:04:37.77
"The Truth about the First Day".
00:04:37.81\00:04:39.91
Say that with me "The
Truth about the First Day".
00:04:39.94\00:04:45.18
You know, we've
covered 16 questions so far
00:04:45.21\00:04:49.18
and in question number 16
there were seven references.
00:04:49.22\00:04:54.49
What we've done thus far,
00:04:54.52\00:04:55.86
and let me give
you the foundation.
00:04:55.89\00:04:57.23
I think it's
important to lay the foundation
00:04:57.26\00:04:58.59
at the beginning
of every discussion
00:04:58.63\00:05:00.43
about this truth,
about the first day topic.
00:05:00.46\00:05:02.96
In America right now
there are many Christians
00:05:03.00\00:05:05.90
that are very upset about
what the Supreme Court did.
00:05:05.93\00:05:08.87
And what the
Supreme Court did was,
00:05:08.90\00:05:10.71
they decided to pass a law
in favor of same sex marriage.
00:05:10.74\00:05:15.38
Now, I will ask the question,
why are Christians so upset
00:05:15.41\00:05:19.31
about something
that `was ordained of God
00:05:19.35\00:05:21.58
about 6,000 years ago?
00:05:21.62\00:05:23.62
And here's why they are upset
and here's why we are upset is
00:05:23.65\00:05:26.62
because they know that
00:05:26.65\00:05:27.99
what God did 6,000
years ago still applies today.
00:05:28.02\00:05:33.06
They are not saying,
well, it was way back
00:05:33.09\00:05:35.00
in the Garden of Eden
so it's no longer relevant.
00:05:35.03\00:05:38.07
They are not concerned
about the Egyptian Empire,
00:05:38.10\00:05:40.17
the Babylonian, the
Medo-Persians, the Greece,
00:05:40.20\00:05:42.97
the Romans, they are not,
00:05:43.00\00:05:44.34
they don't care about
what culture has risen.
00:05:44.37\00:05:46.51
They don't care about
what new age philosophy
00:05:46.54\00:05:48.41
has come to the forefront.
00:05:48.44\00:05:49.88
They are saying, what
God did in the Garden of Eden
00:05:49.91\00:05:52.95
6,000 years ago,
00:05:52.98\00:05:54.32
when He joined a man to a
women, still stands today.
00:05:54.35\00:05:57.15
Amen? Amen.
00:05:57.19\00:05:58.69
But there's
something else that happened
00:05:58.72\00:06:00.19
in the Garden of Eden,
00:06:00.22\00:06:01.56
not just the
uniting of Adam to Eve,
00:06:01.59\00:06:04.09
the beginning of the human race,
00:06:04.13\00:06:06.43
but God blessed the
seventh day of the week.
00:06:06.46\00:06:11.40
What day did He bless?
00:06:11.43\00:06:12.97
The Seventh day.
00:06:13.00\00:06:14.47
When you read the Bible,
you don't find names like
00:06:14.50\00:06:16.67
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
00:06:16.71\00:06:18.04
Thursday,
Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
00:06:18.07\00:06:19.41
You don't find those names.
00:06:19.44\00:06:22.81
You find first day, second
day, third day, fourth day,
00:06:22.84\00:06:25.95
fifth day,
preparation day, Sabbath.
00:06:25.98\00:06:29.18
That's what you find.
00:06:29.22\00:06:30.55
And the Sabbath in the Bible
coordinates with sunset Friday
00:06:30.59\00:06:35.92
to sunset Saturday.
00:06:35.96\00:06:38.56
And why do we say sunset-sunset?
00:06:38.59\00:06:40.73
When you look at the
news next time on the weather,
00:06:40.76\00:06:43.20
you'll notice they
say sunrise today was,
00:06:43.23\00:06:46.23
and sunset today was.
00:06:46.27\00:06:48.27
And the Bible says
in Leviticus 23:32,
00:06:48.30\00:06:51.51
"From evening to evening
00:06:51.54\00:06:54.01
you shall celebrate the Sabbath.
00:06:54.04\00:06:55.78
And in Genesis 1
we find the evening
00:06:55.81\00:06:59.05
and the morning
were the what the day?
00:06:59.08\00:07:01.45
First, second, third,
fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh,
00:07:01.48\00:07:03.89
and so on and so forth.
00:07:03.92\00:07:06.12
So the world
began at the dark part
00:07:06.15\00:07:08.52
and then the Lord
said let there be light.
00:07:08.56\00:07:10.66
So when the sun rises,
we're already in the day.
00:07:10.69\00:07:15.90
When the sun sets, the day ends.
00:07:15.93\00:07:18.53
Now, let me give you an example.
00:07:18.57\00:07:20.37
When we hit 12:00 at
night what do we call it?
00:07:20.40\00:07:22.60
Someone tell me.
00:07:22.64\00:07:23.97
We call it midnight, which means
00:07:24.01\00:07:25.57
if it's a middle of the
night, the night already began.
00:07:25.61\00:07:28.78
When we hit 12:00
noon what we call it?
00:07:28.81\00:07:31.58
Midday, which means if
it's a middle of the day,
00:07:31.61\00:07:34.12
the day already started.
00:07:34.15\00:07:35.92
The day doesn't
begin at midnight
00:07:35.95\00:07:37.45
anymore than the
day begins at midday.
00:07:37.49\00:07:40.26
So from sunset one
day ends at sunset,
00:07:40.29\00:07:44.36
if one day ends
another day begins.
00:07:44.39\00:07:46.96
And so when the sunset on
the sixth day of the week,
00:07:47.00\00:07:53.94
the Lord ended
His work as He created
00:07:53.97\00:07:56.27
and blessed the seventh day.
00:07:56.30\00:07:59.34
But today, the
day that God blessed,
00:07:59.37\00:08:02.41
sanctified, hollowed, and
said remember to keep holy
00:08:02.44\00:08:05.31
in the fourth
commandment has been replaced
00:08:05.35\00:08:08.32
and most Christians today
honor the first day of the week
00:08:08.35\00:08:12.05
Sunday as the holy day.
00:08:12.09\00:08:13.99
Now, what we want to do
in this topic is find out
00:08:14.02\00:08:16.52
if we can find any
support in the Bible
00:08:16.56\00:08:19.29
for the sanctity of Sunday.
00:08:19.33\00:08:21.80
There are those that say
we honor and we observe it
00:08:21.83\00:08:24.87
in honor of the resurrection.
00:08:24.90\00:08:26.53
Well, let me go
ahead and summarize this
00:08:26.57\00:08:27.90
before we go to
question number 17.
00:08:27.94\00:08:30.34
There are only 12
verses in the New Testament
00:08:30.37\00:08:33.27
about the first day of the week.
00:08:33.31\00:08:34.64
How many did I say? Twelve.
00:08:34.68\00:08:36.44
Twelve, there's only twelve.
00:08:36.48\00:08:37.81
We went through all 12
00:08:37.85\00:08:39.45
and found absolutely
none of them, Cynthia,
00:08:39.48\00:08:42.35
that support the sanctity
of the first day of the week,
00:08:42.38\00:08:44.95
absolutely not.
00:08:44.99\00:08:46.55
Now we found some
that people try to twist.
00:08:46.59\00:08:49.42
To follow up on what I'm saying,
00:08:49.46\00:08:51.19
go to that website asf.3abn.org
00:08:51.23\00:08:55.10
and download this
very lesson number 32
00:08:55.13\00:08:57.83
and go through
all the Bible verses
00:08:57.87\00:08:59.50
referring to the
first day of the week.
00:08:59.53\00:09:03.51
Furthermore, we discovered
that after the resurrection
00:09:03.54\00:09:06.68
and ascension of Jesus,
the apostles and the disciples
00:09:06.71\00:09:12.11
still honored the
seventh day as the Sabbath.
00:09:12.15\00:09:17.12
All through the Book of
Acts under question number 16
00:09:17.15\00:09:19.99
we look at, we
looked at seven references
00:09:20.02\00:09:22.09
all referring to the Sabbath,
00:09:22.12\00:09:24.19
the day the apostles
honored after the crucifixion,
00:09:24.23\00:09:28.20
after the resurrection.
00:09:28.23\00:09:29.90
And so when we
come to that conclusion,
00:09:29.93\00:09:31.60
we have to discover
and come to some conclusion
00:09:31.63\00:09:34.10
that here's the point.
00:09:34.14\00:09:35.67
Listen carefully.
00:09:35.70\00:09:37.71
If Jesus never nailed the
commandments at the cross,
00:09:37.74\00:09:40.91
then they still stand
today, what do you say?
00:09:40.94\00:09:44.65
If Jesus intended to
get rid of the Sabbath
00:09:44.68\00:09:48.38
or if Jesus did
get rid of the Sabbath,
00:09:48.42\00:09:51.42
the disciples and the apostles
would not honor that day,
00:09:51.45\00:09:54.72
they would pick a new day.
00:09:54.76\00:09:56.49
They would honor the first day
00:09:56.52\00:09:57.96
like many today
honor the first day.
00:09:57.99\00:10:00.96
But what many
Christians don't know
00:10:01.00\00:10:02.96
is the first day of the
week is based on tradition,
00:10:03.00\00:10:07.60
say that together
based on tradition.
00:10:07.64\00:10:11.37
But here's my point,
00:10:11.41\00:10:12.74
when tradition
conflicts with the Bible,
00:10:12.77\00:10:16.64
the Bible is always
higher than tradition, right?
00:10:16.68\00:10:21.65
So what we're gonna do tonight,
00:10:21.68\00:10:23.49
since we went through all
12 verses in the New Testament
00:10:23.52\00:10:27.26
about the first day found,
00:10:27.29\00:10:28.82
none of them there
including Revelation 1:10
00:10:28.86\00:10:31.53
which says, "I was in the
spirit on the Lord's Day."
00:10:31.56\00:10:34.93
We discovered that the
Lord's Day in the Bible
00:10:34.96\00:10:36.83
is the Sabbath.
00:10:36.87\00:10:38.53
It's in the lesson
there, you'll find that.
00:10:38.57\00:10:40.40
And then we're gonna
look now at question number 17
00:10:40.44\00:10:44.71
to even find out more
about the special significance
00:10:44.74\00:10:48.88
that the Lord
added to the Sabbath.
00:10:48.91\00:10:51.78
So let's begin
00:10:51.81\00:10:53.15
with question number
17 tonight, all right?
00:10:53.18\00:10:55.32
Here we go.
00:10:55.35\00:10:56.69
Question number 17,
what special significance
00:10:56.72\00:11:00.06
does the Bible
connect to the Sabbath?
00:11:00.09\00:11:02.99
We're gonna begin by
going to Mark 2:27-28.
00:11:03.02\00:11:07.30
What special significance
00:11:07.33\00:11:08.70
does the Bible
connect to the Sabbath?
00:11:08.73\00:11:11.83
Now the reason why
these texts are chosen
00:11:11.87\00:11:14.17
is because many
Christians have been taught
00:11:14.20\00:11:18.17
that the Sabbath is
a Jewish institution.
00:11:18.21\00:11:23.08
They have been taught
that if you keep the Sabbath
00:11:23.11\00:11:25.41
you got to be a Jew.
00:11:25.45\00:11:27.78
Somewhere,
somehow they got taught
00:11:27.82\00:11:31.75
that the Sabbath
is just for the Jew.
00:11:31.79\00:11:36.29
If that were the case,
00:11:36.32\00:11:37.89
then Adam and
Eve had to be a Jew.
00:11:37.93\00:11:41.16
But Adam and Eve were not Jews.
00:11:41.20\00:11:43.30
He was just a man.
00:11:43.33\00:11:45.00
She was just a woman.
00:11:45.03\00:11:47.87
And God blessed the seventh day
00:11:47.90\00:11:51.61
right after He sanctified0
00:11:51.64\00:11:53.54
the marriage between
Adam and his wife Eve.
00:11:53.58\00:11:57.41
Not only that, if the Sabbath
was made for just the Jews,
00:11:57.45\00:12:02.28
then Abraham had to be a Jew.
00:12:02.32\00:12:05.79
But Abraham wasn't a Jew.
00:12:05.82\00:12:07.66
He was a Babylonian.
00:12:07.69\00:12:09.96
Genesis 26:5 says,
"Abraham kept my commandments,
00:12:09.99\00:12:15.30
my statutes, and my laws."
00:12:15.33\00:12:19.07
And by the way many of
you may or may not know
00:12:19.10\00:12:21.47
that Abraham through his
seed the Jewish nation was born.
00:12:21.50\00:12:26.78
Abraham, Isaac
Jacob, Jacob renamed Israel
00:12:26.81\00:12:30.75
and then he had 12
sons, the children of Israel
00:12:30.78\00:12:33.35
from which we get
the nation of Israel
00:12:33.38\00:12:35.32
or the Jewish nation.
00:12:35.35\00:12:36.79
So Abraham wasn't a Jew,
but let me ask a question
00:12:36.82\00:12:39.35
before I read the text.
00:12:39.39\00:12:41.42
Did Cain kill Abel? Yes or no?
00:12:41.46\00:12:44.73
That's kind of a...
I'm giving you the answer.
00:12:44.76\00:12:47.83
That's a redundant
question. Did Cain kill Abel?
00:12:47.86\00:12:50.53
Yes.
00:12:50.57\00:12:51.90
What was Cain guilty of?
00:12:51.93\00:12:55.80
Come on say together.
00:12:55.84\00:12:57.17
Murder. Well, now wait a minute.
00:12:57.21\00:13:00.44
How could Cain
be guilty of murder
00:13:00.48\00:13:03.78
when Mount Sinai was
about 2,000 years in the future
00:13:03.81\00:13:07.72
when the commandments were
written on tables of stone?
00:13:07.75\00:13:11.02
Where thou shalt not kill...
00:13:11.05\00:13:16.49
You follow me?
00:13:16.52\00:13:17.86
Where thou shall not kill was
one of those Ten Commandments,
00:13:17.89\00:13:20.76
so here's my point.
00:13:20.80\00:13:22.66
It must be clear that
the commandments of God
00:13:22.70\00:13:26.03
which is a reflection
of the character of God
00:13:26.07\00:13:29.07
was in place
00:13:29.10\00:13:31.07
but then first written
down on tables of stone
00:13:31.11\00:13:34.68
at Mount Sinai
00:13:34.71\00:13:36.04
because Cain could
not be guilty of murder.
00:13:36.08\00:13:40.68
Unless there was a law
against committing a murder,
00:13:40.72\00:13:44.09
thou shalt do no murder.
00:13:44.12\00:13:45.49
Thou shalt not kill.
00:13:45.52\00:13:47.86
So now, going to Mark 2:27-28
00:13:47.89\00:13:51.46
and by the way a
New Testament verse,
00:13:51.49\00:13:53.53
let's see what
Jesus said about this day
00:13:53.56\00:13:55.90
that's often
connected to just the Jews.
00:13:55.93\00:13:58.10
Here it is, Mark
2:27-28, the Bible says,
00:13:58.13\00:14:01.04
And he said to them,
00:14:01.07\00:14:03.00
"The Sabbath was made for man,
00:14:03.04\00:14:06.24
and not man for the Sabbath.
00:14:06.27\00:14:08.28
Therefore the Son of man
is also Lord of the Sabbath."
00:14:08.31\00:14:13.42
Okay, question now. Who
is the Sabbath made for?
00:14:13.45\00:14:16.92
M-A-N, let's spell man, J-E-W.
00:14:16.95\00:14:22.26
Am I incorrectly spelling that?
00:14:22.29\00:14:26.03
Man is spelled what? Ready?
00:14:26.06\00:14:28.06
J-E-W.
00:14:28.10\00:14:31.03
How do you spell man? Ready?
00:14:31.07\00:14:33.60
M-A-N.
00:14:33.64\00:14:35.50
The Sabbath is made
for M-A-N, not J-E-W alone.
00:14:35.54\00:14:41.91
It was inclusive
including the Jews
00:14:41.94\00:14:45.21
not exclusive to the Jews.
00:14:45.25\00:14:48.42
Mankind is one of the ways
that the newer transition says.
00:14:48.45\00:14:52.32
The Sabbath was
made for mankind.
00:14:52.35\00:14:54.12
Now what benefit do I
get out of the Sabbath?
00:14:54.16\00:14:56.99
When Jesus rested at
the end of His creation week
00:14:57.03\00:14:59.86
and I rest, I'm now
entering into His rest.
00:14:59.89\00:15:03.50
Not only physically
00:15:03.53\00:15:04.87
but I entering
into a spiritual rest,
00:15:04.90\00:15:06.53
a spiritual relationship.
00:15:06.57\00:15:08.60
It's a sign
that we're connecting
00:15:08.64\00:15:10.67
on a spiritual level.
00:15:10.71\00:15:13.91
So when the Bible says
the Sabbath was made for man,
00:15:13.94\00:15:16.58
one of the ways
that the Greeks says it
00:15:16.61\00:15:18.08
is that Sabbath was
made for the good of the man,
00:15:18.11\00:15:20.88
for the physical and
spiritual good of man.
00:15:20.92\00:15:23.35
So write that down.
00:15:23.39\00:15:24.95
What specific significance
00:15:24.99\00:15:26.32
does the Bible
connect to the Sabbath?
00:15:26.35\00:15:28.26
Made for the good of mankind.
Made for the good of mankind.
00:15:28.29\00:15:32.63
Now, let's look at another one.
00:15:32.66\00:15:35.20
We're gonna go to Luke 4:16.
00:15:35.23\00:15:37.23
This is a powerful verse.
00:15:37.27\00:15:39.00
Luke 4:16
00:15:39.03\00:15:42.20
reminds me of a story that
Pastor CA told not to long ago,
00:15:42.24\00:15:45.87
we'll read the text
and I'll share the story.
00:15:45.91\00:15:47.54
It made me giggle
00:15:47.58\00:15:49.74
when I thought
about what this lady said,
00:15:49.78\00:15:52.71
but I'll tell you, it's
not in reference necessarily
00:15:52.75\00:15:54.58
to the text,
00:15:54.62\00:15:55.95
but it illustrates
a particular point.
00:15:55.98\00:15:57.55
Luke 4:16.
00:15:57.59\00:15:58.95
What special significance
does the Bible connect
00:15:58.99\00:16:00.76
to the Sabbath?
00:16:00.79\00:16:02.12
Here it is.
00:16:02.16\00:16:03.49
"So He came to Nazareth,
where he had been brought up."
00:16:03.53\00:16:08.30
That is Jesus.
00:16:08.33\00:16:10.00
"And as was his custom was,
00:16:10.03\00:16:12.47
He went into the
synagogue on the what day?
00:16:12.50\00:16:15.87
"Sabbath day and
stood up to read."
00:16:15.90\00:16:20.41
If Jesus now, look,
years ago there was an acronym,
00:16:20.44\00:16:23.95
you know what an acronym is?
00:16:23.98\00:16:25.65
Letters that have a
broader meaning to them.
00:16:25.68\00:16:28.25
It was WWJD.
00:16:28.28\00:16:32.69
Does anybody remember that?
00:16:32.72\00:16:34.66
Okay, say it again.
What would Jesus do?
00:16:34.69\00:16:36.69
What would Jesus do?
00:16:36.73\00:16:39.26
I want to modify that.
00:16:39.29\00:16:41.66
I have another one.
00:16:41.70\00:16:43.03
WDJD.
00:16:43.06\00:16:44.93
What did Jesus do?
00:16:44.97\00:16:47.80
Now, just imagine for a moment.
00:16:47.84\00:16:50.94
And we know that there
is nobody keeping the gate
00:16:50.97\00:16:53.24
in heaven level not even Peter,
that's of old wives' tale.
00:16:53.27\00:16:57.91
That's fairytale.
00:16:57.95\00:17:00.28
But if you ever to be asked,
00:17:00.32\00:17:02.92
"Why you should be
allowed in heaven?"
00:17:02.95\00:17:04.95
And you say,
00:17:04.99\00:17:06.72
"Jesus, I simply
followed what you did."
00:17:06.76\00:17:10.33
That would be a good
reason. What do you say?
00:17:10.36\00:17:13.33
If you follow
Jesus as an example,
00:17:13.36\00:17:15.90
there's no way that you could
be left out of the kingdom.
00:17:15.93\00:17:19.13
So now today let's
fast-forward that to 2015.
00:17:19.17\00:17:24.44
Jesus comes to town and
as His custom always was,
00:17:24.47\00:17:28.24
He honors the Sabbath.
00:17:28.28\00:17:30.95
He looks around town
00:17:30.98\00:17:32.31
and most churches are
closed on the Sabbath.
00:17:32.35\00:17:35.25
And by the way if
you were taught that
00:17:35.28\00:17:36.62
Sunday is the Sabbath,
00:17:36.65\00:17:37.99
we'll change
that in just a moment.
00:17:38.02\00:17:39.85
Because the resurrection day
00:17:39.89\00:17:41.52
and the Sabbath can't
be the same day, all right?
00:17:41.56\00:17:44.89
Jesus as His custom was,
and let's write this down
00:17:44.93\00:17:47.50
what special
significance, Luke 4:16.
00:17:47.53\00:17:50.47
Jesus honored the Sabbath.
00:17:50.50\00:17:52.97
Now why did He honor it?
00:17:53.00\00:17:54.34
He made it.
00:17:54.37\00:17:55.74
That's as simple.
00:17:55.77\00:17:57.11
He honored it
because He made it.
00:17:57.14\00:17:59.97
If He blessed it, He honors it.
00:18:00.01\00:18:03.08
If He honors it, He
further supports it.
00:18:03.11\00:18:05.61
He further emphasizes
its greater importance.
00:18:05.65\00:18:08.42
Now this one is a
really powerful text
00:18:08.45\00:18:10.22
and I went to
the Amplified Bible.
00:18:10.25\00:18:12.25
We could read it
in the New King James
00:18:12.29\00:18:14.16
or the King James Version.
00:18:14.19\00:18:15.72
And I'll do that first
00:18:15.76\00:18:17.13
before I ask the guys to
bring it up on the screen,
00:18:17.16\00:18:19.56
or the ladies
whoever is at the graphics,
00:18:19.59\00:18:21.93
because any given day
00:18:21.96\00:18:24.20
it could be a male or female.
00:18:24.23\00:18:26.03
All right.
00:18:26.07\00:18:27.40
I'm going to first read,
don't bring the text up yet.
00:18:27.44\00:18:28.77
I'm going to read it
00:18:28.80\00:18:30.14
in the New King
James version first.
00:18:30.17\00:18:31.74
Go with me to Hebrews 4:8-9.
00:18:31.77\00:18:35.14
Hebrews 4:8-9.
00:18:35.18\00:18:40.25
I'll read it here in
the New King James Version.
00:18:40.28\00:18:45.45
And it reads thus in verse 8,
00:18:45.49\00:18:48.36
"For if Yeshua," many of
us pronounce that Joshua,
00:18:48.39\00:18:52.29
"For if Yeshua
had given them rest,
00:18:52.33\00:18:55.16
then He would not afterward
have spoken of another day."
00:18:55.20\00:19:00.60
And verse 9, "There remains
00:19:00.64\00:19:02.80
therefore a rest
for the people of God."
00:19:02.84\00:19:05.77
That's the way it
reads in the Bible.
00:19:05.81\00:19:07.14
And the word
Yeshua there means Christ.
00:19:07.18\00:19:10.28
Joshua was a representative
by name of Christ.
00:19:10.31\00:19:14.75
He led them in
the absence of Moses
00:19:14.78\00:19:17.65
into the Promised Land.
00:19:17.69\00:19:19.15
We follow Yeshua,
Jesus into the Promised Land.
00:19:19.19\00:19:22.86
That's the beauty
of going to heaven
00:19:22.89\00:19:24.29
when He comes back to take us.
00:19:24.33\00:19:26.09
But it says in verse 9,
00:19:26.13\00:19:27.76
"There remains therefore a
rest to the people of God."
00:19:27.80\00:19:30.57
Now some of you may have
heard of the Amplified Bible.
00:19:30.60\00:19:33.64
Don't bring it up yet.
00:19:33.67\00:19:35.00
Some of you may have
heard of the Amplified Bible,
00:19:35.04\00:19:36.37
the Amplified Bible is
a beautiful translation.
00:19:36.40\00:19:38.61
Let me tell you why.
00:19:38.64\00:19:40.41
When this Bible
was put together,
00:19:40.44\00:19:42.71
it was financed by
individuals who wanted to,
00:19:42.74\00:19:47.05
as clearly as possible,
00:19:47.08\00:19:48.48
communicate the
Greek language the way
00:19:48.52\00:19:51.75
that it's actually written.
00:19:51.79\00:19:53.46
In other words in English,
00:19:53.49\00:19:54.82
they want to communicate
the meaning in the Greek,
00:19:54.86\00:19:56.59
so they put the
Amplified Bible together.
00:19:56.62\00:19:58.63
So therefore now
let's read the amplified
00:19:58.66\00:20:00.20
and see how it
reads in the amplified.
00:20:00.23\00:20:02.13
Now I'll bring the
text up for us. Here it is.
00:20:02.16\00:20:05.33
"This mention of rest,
00:20:05.37\00:20:09.17
this mention of
rest was not a reference
00:20:09.20\00:20:12.34
to their entering into Canaan.
00:20:12.37\00:20:14.74
For if Joshua," here it
is, "had given them rest.
00:20:14.78\00:20:19.71
He God would not speak
afterward about another day."
00:20:19.75\00:20:24.35
Now let's read verse 9 together,
00:20:24.39\00:20:25.72
now you can bring it up.
00:20:25.75\00:20:27.16
Here it is.
00:20:27.19\00:20:28.52
"So then there is
still awaiting a full
00:20:28.56\00:20:32.56
and complete together
00:20:32.59\00:20:34.33
Sabbath rest reserved
for the true people of God."
00:20:34.36\00:20:40.84
That's the way
it is in the Hebrew.
00:20:40.87\00:20:42.74
There remains a
full and complete Sabbath
00:20:42.77\00:20:46.37
rest reserved for
the true people of God.
00:20:46.41\00:20:50.58
Now, why?
00:20:50.61\00:20:52.21
When the children of
Israel entered Canaan,
00:20:52.25\00:20:54.75
they embraced the
rest, the spiritual rest,
00:20:54.78\00:20:59.45
by entering into
the land of rest,
00:20:59.49\00:21:02.22
and weekly they
embraced the spiritual rest
00:21:02.26\00:21:05.06
by entering
into the day of rest.
00:21:05.09\00:21:07.66
That's why the Bible says,
00:21:07.70\00:21:09.03
if he had given them
rest on any other platform,
00:21:09.06\00:21:12.47
He would not afterward
have spoken of another day.
00:21:12.50\00:21:15.34
What that simply means was
00:21:15.37\00:21:16.94
if entering Canaan
got rid of the Sabbath,
00:21:16.97\00:21:20.21
He would not have still
emphasized the Sabbath rest.
00:21:20.24\00:21:23.11
That's why it's
there, still remains
00:21:23.14\00:21:24.91
a Sabbath rest to
the true people of God.
00:21:24.95\00:21:27.42
So why is that
vitally important?
00:21:27.45\00:21:29.75
Now go with me to Exodus.
00:21:29.78\00:21:31.42
Sorry to Ezekiel. Let
me show you something.
00:21:31.45\00:21:33.66
This is not in our notes.
00:21:33.69\00:21:35.72
This is just extra credit.
00:21:35.76\00:21:38.56
Not in our notes.
00:21:38.59\00:21:40.13
This is just extra credit.
00:21:40.16\00:21:42.80
All right.
00:21:42.83\00:21:44.17
Go with me to Ezekiel.
00:21:44.20\00:21:48.54
Okay.
00:21:48.57\00:21:50.17
Because a lot of times we...
00:21:50.21\00:21:53.04
it's important to understand.
00:21:53.07\00:21:54.41
We're going to go to Ezekiel 20.
00:21:54.44\00:21:56.68
Ezekiel 20.
00:21:56.71\00:21:59.41
All right.
00:21:59.45\00:22:03.62
And I'm looking up another text
just so that you can follow me.
00:22:03.65\00:22:06.42
Okay, here we are.
00:22:10.23\00:22:12.43
And I'm gonna look
at another verse here.
00:22:12.46\00:22:16.43
Okay, good.
00:22:16.46\00:22:18.13
And we're going to
look at Ezekiel 20.
00:22:18.17\00:22:21.44
And we're going to
look together at verse 12.
00:22:21.47\00:22:24.97
Some of you theologians
know where I'm going.
00:22:25.01\00:22:27.84
All right, look at the,
look at, look at Ezekiel 20:12.
00:22:27.88\00:22:32.38
"More over," the
Lord says in other words
00:22:32.41\00:22:34.88
"Furthermore I also
gave them my Sabbath
00:22:34.92\00:22:40.92
to be a sign between me and them
00:22:40.96\00:22:42.96
that they might know that I
am the Lord who," does what?
00:22:42.99\00:22:47.16
"Sanctifies them."
00:22:47.20\00:22:49.13
The Sabbath is not just a day.
00:22:49.16\00:22:52.40
It is a sign that I know
00:22:52.43\00:22:56.24
where my
sanctifying power comes from.
00:22:56.27\00:22:59.17
It connects me to
the Lord, amen somebody?
00:22:59.21\00:23:01.48
Amen.
00:23:01.51\00:23:02.84
So it's a sign
of our relationship
00:23:02.88\00:23:04.78
like an anniversary is a sign
between a husband and a wife.
00:23:04.81\00:23:08.28
Right? We have
presidents that have holidays.
00:23:08.32\00:23:11.95
People say, well, we
think we need to have a holiday
00:23:11.99\00:23:14.16
for this
president or that president.
00:23:14.19\00:23:17.03
There's a sign
when you, when you,
00:23:17.06\00:23:19.39
on a Presidents Day
00:23:19.43\00:23:20.80
you're recognizing
mostly in our country
00:23:20.83\00:23:22.73
Abraham Lincoln
and George Washington.
00:23:22.76\00:23:24.37
It's a sign
about those presidents.
00:23:24.40\00:23:26.30
Every day established
has a special indication,
00:23:26.33\00:23:29.04
has a special significance,
the Sabbath is the sign
00:23:29.07\00:23:32.91
and let me use my
pen as an example.
00:23:32.94\00:23:35.34
The Sabbath, here I
am, here is the Sabbath,
00:23:35.38\00:23:39.85
and here is the Lord,
is the sign between us.
00:23:39.88\00:23:43.52
When I embrace
this pen as the Sabbath,
00:23:43.55\00:23:47.82
it's connecting me to my Lord.
00:23:47.86\00:23:50.59
The Sabbath is
a sign between us.
00:23:50.63\00:23:52.89
This pen represents the Sabbath.
00:23:52.93\00:23:55.33
When I ignore it,
there is no sign between us.
00:23:55.36\00:23:58.93
When I get rid of it,
00:23:58.97\00:24:01.04
there's nothing
that connects us.
00:24:01.07\00:24:02.67
And what man has done.
00:24:02.70\00:24:04.04
He's gotten rid of it
00:24:04.07\00:24:05.41
and put a
tradition like my remote
00:24:05.44\00:24:07.41
between the two and Lord
is not holding on to that
00:24:07.44\00:24:09.48
because He says that
has no connection to Me.
00:24:09.51\00:24:11.31
You could hold on to that.
00:24:11.35\00:24:12.68
That's your tradition,
00:24:12.71\00:24:14.05
but I'm not
connecting the other end.
00:24:14.08\00:24:15.68
You see, so man have
embraced the tradition
00:24:15.72\00:24:18.25
and want the Lord to accept it.
00:24:18.29\00:24:19.62
He said, no, put
the tradition down
00:24:19.65\00:24:21.52
and pick up my Sabbath.
00:24:21.56\00:24:23.49
Now I'll join hands with you.
00:24:23.53\00:24:25.49
Amen somebody?
00:24:25.53\00:24:26.93
It's a special sign.
00:24:26.96\00:24:28.30
So when men tell
you, pick any day,
00:24:28.33\00:24:30.80
God's not
telling you that, right?
00:24:30.83\00:24:34.60
Men are telling us
that, not the Lord.
00:24:34.64\00:24:36.54
Let's go to the
next question, number 18.
00:24:36.57\00:24:38.87
Now, this question,
number 18, is so important
00:24:38.91\00:24:42.51
because what it does
and what it's going to do.
00:24:42.54\00:24:45.55
It's going to show you
unequivocally one of the events
00:24:45.58\00:24:50.85
that helps us to
see clearly the create,
00:24:50.89\00:24:54.49
these three days we mentioned.
00:24:54.52\00:24:57.16
We're going to see the
entire crucifixion weekend,
00:24:57.19\00:25:00.90
and we're going
to be able to see
00:25:00.93\00:25:03.43
between the holiday of Easter.
00:25:03.47\00:25:07.54
There is Easter
the resurrection day.
00:25:07.57\00:25:09.44
There is Good Friday.
There's a day between.
00:25:09.47\00:25:12.61
We're gonna see
all three of these days
00:25:12.64\00:25:14.94
so that if you ask the question,
00:25:14.98\00:25:16.58
how do I know
which day is a Sabbath,
00:25:16.61\00:25:18.98
the Bible makes it very clear.
00:25:19.01\00:25:20.95
Here's the question number 18.
00:25:20.98\00:25:23.82
What are the names
00:25:23.85\00:25:25.19
that the Bible gives
to the days of the week?
00:25:25.22\00:25:28.32
What are the names
00:25:28.36\00:25:29.69
that the Bible gives
to the days of the week?
00:25:29.72\00:25:33.50
All right, let's
begin by going to Luke 23.
00:25:33.53\00:25:38.20
All right.
00:25:38.23\00:25:39.67
And we're going to
start with verse 54.
00:25:39.70\00:25:41.94
I know in my
lesson I put it verse 53.
00:25:41.97\00:25:44.91
But let me go to Luke 23.
00:25:44.94\00:25:47.44
I'm on my way there.
00:25:47.48\00:25:49.64
Slow down you, fast
people, here we are.
00:25:49.68\00:25:55.22
Luke 23.
00:25:55.25\00:25:57.39
Okay, here I am.
00:25:57.42\00:25:59.82
And we're gonna
begin with verse 54,
00:25:59.85\00:26:04.46
and it will
appear on the screen.
00:26:04.49\00:26:06.16
All right.
00:26:06.19\00:26:07.53
It says, here it is,
"That day was the," what day?
00:26:07.56\00:26:13.03
That day was the preparation.
00:26:13.07\00:26:15.40
So let's put that.
That day was the what?
00:26:15.44\00:26:17.41
"Preparation and
the Sabbath drew near."
00:26:17.44\00:26:20.24
Now verse 55.
00:26:20.28\00:26:22.04
"And the women
00:26:22.08\00:26:23.41
who had come with Him
from Galilee followed after.
00:26:23.45\00:26:27.92
And they observed the
tomb, and how his body was laid,
00:26:27.95\00:26:32.55
then they returned
and prepared spices
00:26:32.59\00:26:35.32
and fragrant oils.
00:26:35.36\00:26:37.66
And get this and
they rested on the,
00:26:37.69\00:26:40.40
what day, Sabbath
according to the what?
00:26:40.43\00:26:44.97
Commandment."
00:26:45.00\00:26:46.40
Now get this take the
slide away for a moment.
00:26:46.43\00:26:49.10
They rested on the Sabbath
according to the commandment.
00:26:49.14\00:26:52.34
I gotta ask you the
question, what commandments?
00:26:52.37\00:26:54.98
Somebody tell me.
00:26:55.01\00:26:57.28
Now, the Ten Commandments
00:26:57.31\00:26:58.65
or specifically
the fourth commandment,
00:26:58.68\00:27:01.28
even at the death of Jesus,
00:27:01.32\00:27:02.82
the women who were
followers of Jesus,
00:27:02.85\00:27:05.02
they followed Him from Galilee.
00:27:05.05\00:27:07.26
They rested.
00:27:07.29\00:27:08.62
They had these fragrant oils
for the embalming of His body.
00:27:08.66\00:27:11.86
But they rested on the Sabbath
00:27:11.89\00:27:13.23
because they knew that
thou shalt not do any work.
00:27:13.26\00:27:17.40
So they rested on the Sabbath,
00:27:17.43\00:27:19.37
and they were waiting
for the Sabbath to pass
00:27:19.40\00:27:21.64
so they can go to the tomb
and anoint the body of Jesus.
00:27:21.67\00:27:24.57
So now so far
let's put the first day
00:27:24.61\00:27:26.98
we found the first
day we found was the what?
00:27:27.01\00:27:30.08
Preparation.
00:27:30.11\00:27:31.45
The next one B was the what?
00:27:31.48\00:27:33.15
Sabbath.
00:27:33.18\00:27:34.52
We're going to add the
third one in just a moment.
00:27:34.55\00:27:35.95
All right.
Let's go to Luke 24:1.
00:27:35.98\00:27:38.85
Here it is again.
00:27:38.89\00:27:41.12
"Now on the
first day of the week,
00:27:41.16\00:27:44.16
very early in the morning,
00:27:44.19\00:27:46.26
they, and certain
other women with them
00:27:46.29\00:27:50.17
came to the tomb
bringing the spices
00:27:50.20\00:27:53.10
which they had,
what, they had prepared."
00:27:53.13\00:27:56.81
Now what next day did we find?
00:27:56.84\00:27:59.47
What was it called?
00:27:59.51\00:28:01.04
First day of the week.
00:28:01.08\00:28:03.45
Let's go and make this clear.
00:28:03.48\00:28:05.48
Preparation day,
Sabbath day, first day.
00:28:05.51\00:28:11.52
All right, so I want to
illustrate this very clearly.
00:28:11.55\00:28:14.39
I have not done this before
00:28:14.42\00:28:16.19
but I need three
people up here real quickly,
00:28:16.22\00:28:17.99
come on, come on, Hannah.
00:28:18.03\00:28:19.39
Come on up here real quick.
00:28:19.43\00:28:20.76
Yannick, you're an
Olympian get up here.
00:28:20.80\00:28:23.47
Come on, David, get up here.
00:28:23.50\00:28:26.37
Come hurry up,
real quick. Hurry up.
00:28:26.40\00:28:28.10
Wide shot. Okay.
00:28:28.14\00:28:30.14
Good to have you, Hannah.
00:28:30.17\00:28:31.51
We do have
people on our audience
00:28:31.54\00:28:32.87
I'm not talking to the
tables. Okay. Get over here.
00:28:32.91\00:28:35.34
You're the yellow,
you're the, okay, okay.
00:28:35.38\00:28:37.45
So we have the preparation day,
we have the preparation day.
00:28:37.48\00:28:42.45
We have the first day.
00:28:42.48\00:28:44.95
Now what day was
Christ raised on, do you know?
00:28:44.99\00:28:50.39
First. Raise your hand.
00:28:50.43\00:28:52.46
Let's say the first day.
00:28:52.49\00:28:55.50
What day was Christ
put in the tomb, what day?
00:28:55.53\00:28:58.97
Preparation. What day
was Christ put in the tomb?
00:28:59.00\00:29:01.04
Preparation
day. Raise your hand.
00:29:01.07\00:29:02.40
Preparation day.
00:29:02.44\00:29:03.77
What day did the
women rest on, what day?
00:29:03.81\00:29:05.84
What day they rest on?
00:29:05.87\00:29:08.41
Sabbath. Okay, put your hand up.
00:29:08.44\00:29:09.78
What day? The Sabbath day.
00:29:09.81\00:29:11.75
Now get this.
00:29:11.78\00:29:13.35
This is the day honored
because of His resurrection.
00:29:13.38\00:29:16.99
This is the day that men
have substituted for this day.
00:29:17.02\00:29:22.69
So watch what men have done.
00:29:22.72\00:29:25.63
Bye, Yannick.
00:29:25.66\00:29:28.46
They have said, Ah,
now you take the place
00:29:28.50\00:29:31.57
and don't go anywhere
I'm have you come back.
00:29:31.60\00:29:33.30
They say now Yannick is that
00:29:33.34\00:29:37.21
Hannah is the
new day of worship,
00:29:37.24\00:29:39.41
but there's a problem.
00:29:39.44\00:29:40.78
Hannah represents what day?
00:29:40.81\00:29:43.65
Get back over here, Hannah.
00:29:43.68\00:29:45.61
Yannick, get back over here.
00:29:45.65\00:29:47.25
Yannick represents what day?
00:29:47.28\00:29:49.78
The Sabbath.
00:29:49.82\00:29:51.15
So if Hannah is the first
00:29:51.19\00:29:52.79
and there are only
seven days in a week.
00:29:52.82\00:29:54.52
Let's start counting
backward, mathematicians,
00:29:54.56\00:29:57.03
first, then the
last day is what?
00:29:57.06\00:29:59.63
Seventh, the day
before the seventh is a six.
00:29:59.66\00:30:02.73
So you have the six,
you have the seventh,
00:30:02.76\00:30:05.33
you have the first.
00:30:05.37\00:30:07.34
Wow!
00:30:07.37\00:30:08.70
Do you know, and I'm
going to show you this in an,
00:30:08.74\00:30:10.54
in the next lesson
we're going to study
00:30:10.57\00:30:12.41
how Sunday became a
popular day of worship.
00:30:12.44\00:30:16.04
Men, if you read
the Catholic catechism,
00:30:16.08\00:30:20.12
they call this day
now the eighth day.
00:30:20.15\00:30:23.95
This day is now
called the eighth day.
00:30:23.99\00:30:27.76
There is no eight day week.
00:30:27.79\00:30:29.19
Come one, somebody, say amen.
00:30:29.22\00:30:30.69
Amen.
00:30:30.73\00:30:32.06
This day which is the
first in the Bible is now called
00:30:32.09\00:30:34.76
the eighth day.
00:30:34.80\00:30:36.36
So you know when
the confusion comes in?
00:30:36.40\00:30:38.27
When Easter comes around,
these two days are in conflict.
00:30:38.30\00:30:43.24
Stand in front of him.
00:30:43.27\00:30:44.67
Okay, I didn't
tell him to do that.
00:30:44.71\00:30:47.71
But this is where
Christians get confused
00:30:47.74\00:30:49.44
because some Christians believe
that this day is this day
00:30:49.48\00:30:52.45
and some believe
that this day is this day.
00:30:52.48\00:30:54.52
I was confused too.
00:30:54.55\00:30:56.32
You were confusing too
until you got cleared up, right.
00:30:56.35\00:30:58.85
These days are not the same.
00:30:58.89\00:31:00.86
So if we get rid
of this day. Go ahead.
00:31:00.89\00:31:03.66
Then the Sabbath still stands.
00:31:03.69\00:31:05.79
Amen.
00:31:05.83\00:31:07.60
Thank you, David thank
you, Yannick, thank you, Hannah.
00:31:07.63\00:31:10.17
Amen. Can we say amen? Amen.
00:31:10.20\00:31:12.13
Don't get the days mixed up
00:31:12.17\00:31:13.70
any more than we
got the people mixed up.
00:31:13.74\00:31:15.97
But many pastors have
told you it doesn't matter.
00:31:16.00\00:31:18.54
Well, I'll tell
you, Yannick is Yannick,
00:31:18.57\00:31:20.71
Hannah's Hannah,
00:31:20.74\00:31:22.08
and David is David, what we say.
00:31:22.11\00:31:24.45
You can merge them,
00:31:24.48\00:31:25.81
you can't get rid of
one in place of the other
00:31:25.85\00:31:28.18
and when you try to do that,
00:31:28.22\00:31:29.55
Easter is the most
confusing vacation,
00:31:29.58\00:31:31.95
I mean holiday of the year.
00:31:31.99\00:31:34.32
Because when Easter comes,
00:31:34.36\00:31:35.69
I'm sure some people go
to church on Sunday morning
00:31:35.72\00:31:37.43
say happy Sabbath.
00:31:37.46\00:31:40.56
Because they were taught that!
00:31:40.60\00:31:42.76
So many
Christians I heard songs.
00:31:42.80\00:31:45.63
Every day will be the Sabbath.
00:31:45.67\00:31:47.04
Sunday would never change.
00:31:47.07\00:31:49.07
There's some popular artists
00:31:49.10\00:31:50.44
that sing that
every day in heaven.
00:31:50.47\00:31:51.81
Every day will be the
Sabbath, Sunday would never end.
00:31:51.84\00:31:54.58
Popular artists, they
put both words together.
00:31:54.61\00:31:57.01
We couldn't do
it no matter what.
00:31:57.05\00:31:58.38
We could not merge
Hannah with Yannick,
00:31:58.41\00:32:01.32
they just wouldn't mix.
00:32:01.35\00:32:03.49
The Lord never got rid of
one in place of the other.
00:32:03.52\00:32:06.32
Men made a change and
we're going to show you
00:32:06.35\00:32:08.69
from the records of
history how men did that.
00:32:08.72\00:32:11.86
But we're going to
take another step now
00:32:11.89\00:32:14.66
to question 19
because this is powerful.
00:32:14.70\00:32:17.07
This is powerful.
00:32:17.10\00:32:18.43
People are also taught
00:32:21.90\00:32:25.37
that something was made new.
00:32:25.41\00:32:31.55
They say a new day of worship.
00:32:31.58\00:32:33.92
The reason for this
question number 19 is huge.
00:32:33.95\00:32:37.55
Look at question number 19,
00:32:37.59\00:32:38.92
it's huge because many
are taught that Sunday,
00:32:38.95\00:32:41.46
we honor Sunday now or
the first day of the week,
00:32:41.49\00:32:44.66
we honor it in recognition
of the resurrection of Christ.
00:32:44.69\00:32:49.26
But let me show you
what the Lord established,
00:32:49.30\00:32:52.57
to honor the
resurrection of Christ.
00:32:52.60\00:32:55.14
Let's go now to
question number 19.
00:32:55.17\00:32:56.60
Here it is, question number 19.
00:32:56.64\00:32:59.34
What service is established
in honor of Jesus' death
00:32:59.37\00:33:03.65
and resurrection?
00:33:03.68\00:33:05.01
What service is established
in honor of Jesus' death
00:33:05.05\00:33:08.92
and resurrection?
00:33:08.95\00:33:10.35
Let's go now to Romans 6.
00:33:10.39\00:33:13.42
What book did I say?
00:33:13.46\00:33:15.06
Romans 6, a powerful,
00:33:15.09\00:33:19.66
a powerful description
00:33:19.69\00:33:21.56
of what the Lord established
to honor His resurrection.
00:33:21.60\00:33:26.60
All right, we're
going to read Romans 6:3-5.
00:33:26.63\00:33:30.51
Okay. Okay.
00:33:30.54\00:33:32.14
This is huge. This is huge.
00:33:32.17\00:33:34.84
Here it is.
00:33:34.88\00:33:37.38
"Or do you not know
00:33:37.41\00:33:40.08
that as many of
us as were, what,
00:33:40.12\00:33:44.29
baptized into Christ
Jesus were baptized into his,
00:33:44.32\00:33:47.76
what, death?
00:33:47.79\00:33:49.42
Therefore we were,
what, buried with him through,
00:33:49.46\00:33:53.16
what, baptism into death
that just as Christ was what,
00:33:53.19\00:33:58.50
raised from the dead by
the glory of the Father.
00:33:58.53\00:34:01.90
Even so we also
should walk in the,
00:34:01.94\00:34:04.37
what, newness of life."
00:34:04.41\00:34:07.64
This is huge.
00:34:07.68\00:34:09.94
For the next verse, verse,
00:34:09.98\00:34:12.75
"For if we had
been united together
00:34:12.78\00:34:15.55
in the likeness of His death.
00:34:15.58\00:34:18.39
Certainly we also shall be
00:34:18.42\00:34:20.16
in the likeness
of His resurrection,
00:34:20.19\00:34:22.92
finally knowing this
that our old man was,
00:34:22.96\00:34:27.30
what, crucified with Him,
that the body of sin might be,
00:34:27.33\00:34:32.53
what, done away with
00:34:32.57\00:34:34.50
that we should no
longer be slaves to,
00:34:34.54\00:34:36.54
what, sin."
00:34:36.57\00:34:38.67
I got to take a breath here
00:34:38.71\00:34:40.04
because what I'm
about to reveal to you
00:34:40.08\00:34:41.41
has never been
revealed in this context before.
00:34:41.44\00:34:44.51
Okay, now I have four questions.
00:34:44.55\00:34:46.82
Are you ready for number 19?
00:34:46.85\00:34:48.52
The name of the service is what?
00:34:48.55\00:34:50.55
Baptism, okay.
00:34:50.59\00:34:51.92
The name of the
service is baptism.
00:34:51.95\00:34:54.86
Okay.
00:34:54.89\00:34:58.09
From the verses we
read, what was made new?
00:34:58.13\00:35:02.50
Someone look at the verses.
00:35:02.53\00:35:03.87
I'm not going to give you the...
00:35:03.90\00:35:05.23
I'm not going to
give you the spoon.
00:35:05.27\00:35:06.60
What was made new?
00:35:06.63\00:35:08.47
Tell me what was made new?
00:35:08.50\00:35:12.07
Say it again. We are made new.
00:35:12.11\00:35:15.54
The Lord wanted to
create a new man not a new day.
00:35:15.58\00:35:22.18
Huge.
00:35:22.22\00:35:23.55
Have you ever had that scripture
00:35:23.59\00:35:24.92
used that way before?
00:35:24.95\00:35:26.29
The Lord instituted baptism.
00:35:26.32\00:35:30.43
Not Sunday worship.
00:35:30.46\00:35:33.60
To create a new
man, not a new day.
00:35:33.63\00:35:39.10
Look at the third
question, what was done away?
00:35:39.13\00:35:42.67
What was done away?
00:35:42.70\00:35:44.04
Verse 6, come on, somebody. Huh?
00:35:44.07\00:35:47.48
The body of sin.
00:35:47.51\00:35:51.11
The body of sin,
00:35:51.15\00:35:52.48
that old nature
was done away with,
00:35:52.51\00:35:54.62
not the Sabbath.
00:35:54.65\00:35:56.45
You see, how the
devil twists things up.
00:35:56.48\00:35:58.72
The devil says, the
Sabbath was done away with,
00:35:58.75\00:36:00.82
the Bible says, the body
of sin was done away with.
00:36:00.86\00:36:04.46
Right?
00:36:04.49\00:36:06.73
And now this is huge.
00:36:06.76\00:36:09.10
What should we no longer do?
00:36:09.13\00:36:13.50
Be, said it again.
00:36:13.54\00:36:15.64
Be slaves to sin.
00:36:15.67\00:36:17.04
We should no
longer be slaves to sin
00:36:17.07\00:36:19.84
but you've been taught
00:36:19.87\00:36:21.21
we should no
longer honor the Sabbath.
00:36:21.24\00:36:23.35
You see how the
devil has mixed this up?
00:36:23.38\00:36:26.38
Here it is.
00:36:26.41\00:36:27.75
The name of the
service, together, baptism.
00:36:27.78\00:36:30.29
What was made new? We are.
00:36:30.32\00:36:32.72
Not a new day.
What was done away with?
00:36:32.75\00:36:35.46
Sin, the body of
sin was done away with.
00:36:35.49\00:36:38.36
What should we no longer do?
00:36:38.39\00:36:40.26
Be slaves to sin.
00:36:40.30\00:36:41.96
It didn't say we should
no longer honor the Sabbath,
00:36:42.00\00:36:44.63
it said, we should no
longer be slaves to sin.
00:36:44.67\00:36:47.04
You have been taught and many...
00:36:47.07\00:36:49.60
and I want to tell you the
largest church in the world
00:36:49.64\00:36:51.57
the Catholic
Church, I got to be clear,
00:36:51.61\00:36:53.04
not the people,
00:36:53.07\00:36:54.41
I love my family 90%
of my family is Catholic.
00:36:54.44\00:36:57.18
So I'm telling you,
out of a heart of love.
00:36:57.21\00:36:59.91
All Catholics have been told
by the pontiff whether Francis,
00:36:59.95\00:37:04.05
Pope Paul, or
Benedict go all the way back.
00:37:04.09\00:37:07.69
They were all taught
that Sunday is a new day.
00:37:07.72\00:37:13.29
The Bible says we
receive a new life.
00:37:13.33\00:37:17.53
They were taught that
the Sabbath was done away.
00:37:17.57\00:37:20.64
The Bible says the body
of sin was done the way.
00:37:20.67\00:37:24.47
They were taught,
we walk in a new day.
00:37:24.51\00:37:27.01
The Bible says, we
walk in a new life.
00:37:27.04\00:37:29.98
You get the difference?
00:37:30.01\00:37:31.38
And the service is not
called a day of worship.
00:37:31.41\00:37:33.95
It's called baptism.
00:37:33.98\00:37:36.45
That's what the Lord instituted
in honor of His resurrection,
00:37:36.48\00:37:39.75
baptism.
00:37:39.79\00:37:41.22
That when you come up
out of the watery grave,
00:37:41.26\00:37:43.36
you walk in a new life.
00:37:43.39\00:37:44.93
You don't accept a new day.
00:37:44.96\00:37:46.43
Can we all say
amen to that? Amen.
00:37:46.46\00:37:48.33
This scripture has often
been left out of the equation
00:37:48.36\00:37:51.20
but when I was
studying this lesson Louis,
00:37:51.23\00:37:53.13
the Lord said,
John, go to Romans 6.
00:37:53.17\00:37:56.54
They've been told
that there's a new day
00:37:56.57\00:37:59.47
but it's a new life.
00:37:59.51\00:38:01.28
They've been told the
Sabbath was done away with,
00:38:01.31\00:38:03.18
but the body of
sin was done away with,
00:38:03.21\00:38:05.01
they were told to walk
in a new day of worship,
00:38:05.05\00:38:06.98
the Lord says, I want
you to walk in a new life.
00:38:07.02\00:38:08.88
Amen? Amen.
00:38:08.92\00:38:10.39
It's huge. The
difference is magnificent.
00:38:10.42\00:38:12.69
It's the difference between
tradition and God's word.
00:38:12.72\00:38:16.69
Now, let's go to some
of the favorite verses
00:38:16.73\00:38:20.33
in the Bible.
00:38:20.36\00:38:21.70
This lesson is probably
one of the most potent ones
00:38:21.73\00:38:24.07
I've ever covered.
00:38:24.10\00:38:25.43
Because what I'm going to do
now in the next two questions
00:38:25.47\00:38:27.67
is I'm going to show you
00:38:27.70\00:38:29.97
what Sabbaths were a shadow.
00:38:30.01\00:38:35.81
There's a favorite
verse in the Bible.
00:38:35.84\00:38:37.55
Let's go to question number 20.
00:38:37.58\00:38:39.68
There's a
favorite verse in the Bible
00:38:39.71\00:38:41.38
that many theologians use
00:38:41.42\00:38:43.85
to try to get
rid of the Sabbath.
00:38:43.89\00:38:45.55
And let's look at it.
00:38:45.59\00:38:46.96
Let's not skip a single verse.
00:38:46.99\00:38:49.42
Let's look at every one of them.
00:38:49.46\00:38:50.79
Question number
20. Question number 20.
00:38:50.83\00:38:53.96
Here it is.
00:38:54.00\00:38:55.36
Was the Creation
Sabbath a "shadow"
00:38:55.40\00:38:58.07
that needed to be discontinued?
00:38:58.10\00:39:01.10
Was the creation
Sabbath a "shadow"
00:39:01.14\00:39:03.81
that needed to be discontinued?
00:39:03.84\00:39:05.74
Let's go now to
Colossians 2:16-17.
00:39:05.77\00:39:09.71
Colossians 2:16-17.
00:39:09.74\00:39:12.38
This is a favorite verse.
00:39:12.41\00:39:13.85
You know what amazes me,
00:39:13.88\00:39:15.55
is many clergy and leaders
00:39:15.58\00:39:18.85
and traditionalist try
to find verses in the Bible
00:39:18.89\00:39:21.79
to support what
they already believe,
00:39:21.82\00:39:23.99
rather than letting the Bible
teach them what to believe.
00:39:24.03\00:39:27.40
They go in with
a preconceived idea
00:39:27.43\00:39:30.03
as one of my
favorite Dr. Pundit said,
00:39:30.07\00:39:32.53
"Don't ever say to
anybody that they are not bias."
00:39:32.57\00:39:34.97
Everybody's bias.
00:39:35.00\00:39:36.74
You're not going to
meet a single person
00:39:36.77\00:39:38.11
that's not bias.
00:39:38.14\00:39:41.78
But if you are an inquirer,
00:39:41.81\00:39:45.05
he said you need to
be an inquiring inquirer.
00:39:45.08\00:39:48.58
A person that
wants to honestly learn
00:39:48.62\00:39:51.15
and we should be so,
00:39:51.19\00:39:52.92
we should be so
subject to God's word
00:39:52.95\00:39:55.52
that the Word of God,
00:39:55.56\00:39:57.36
we should be willing
to allow the Word of God
00:39:57.39\00:39:59.63
to destroy any preconceived idea
00:39:59.66\00:40:03.03
that's out of harmony with it.
00:40:03.06\00:40:04.63
Ain't it right? Amen.
00:40:04.67\00:40:06.03
After all, do you,
00:40:06.07\00:40:07.40
how many how many people
buy GPS's and throw it out,
00:40:07.44\00:40:09.77
when it says make a left
00:40:09.80\00:40:11.14
and you think
you should go right?
00:40:11.17\00:40:14.58
How many people bang
on the door of the cockpit
00:40:14.61\00:40:17.45
when we say I think
California is over there
00:40:17.48\00:40:19.51
and the pilot's
going over there?
00:40:19.55\00:40:22.65
You've got to trust something
and I want to tell you,
00:40:22.68\00:40:24.79
we can still trust God's Word.
00:40:24.82\00:40:26.15
What do you say? Amen.
00:40:26.19\00:40:27.52
So now let's go to
this favorite text.
00:40:27.56\00:40:30.76
Colossians
2:16-17, I'm turning there
00:40:30.79\00:40:34.56
because I want
to read it with you.
00:40:34.60\00:40:36.03
This is a favorite passage.
00:40:36.06\00:40:37.97
I'm not leaving
any stone unturned.
00:40:38.00\00:40:41.40
Okay, here we are.
00:40:41.44\00:40:43.10
It's on the screen, here we go.
00:40:43.14\00:40:44.54
This verse in my
book... So here it is. Gotcha.
00:40:44.57\00:40:46.68
Okay.
00:40:46.71\00:40:48.04
Colossians 2, here it is
on the screen, here it is.
00:40:48.08\00:40:52.21
"So let no one
judge you in, what,
00:40:52.25\00:40:56.15
together food or in, what,
drink or regarding a, what,
00:40:56.18\00:41:01.02
festival or a new, what,
00:41:01.06\00:41:03.22
new moon or, what,
Sabbaths which are, what,
00:41:03.26\00:41:07.36
a shadow of things
to come but the, what,
00:41:07.40\00:41:11.63
substance is of Christ."
00:41:11.67\00:41:14.60
Now this is the passage
00:41:14.64\00:41:15.97
where the devil
pops up his head and say,
00:41:16.00\00:41:18.44
"That's it, that's it,
00:41:18.47\00:41:20.68
that's the one that
gets rid of the Sabbath."
00:41:20.71\00:41:23.38
Let me say like the kid said
in my neighborhood growing up.
00:41:23.41\00:41:27.72
We're going to find out
now, because we need to know.
00:41:27.75\00:41:31.45
Food, drink, festivals,
new moon, Sabbath, shadows?
00:41:31.49\00:41:36.29
Write this down.
00:41:36.32\00:41:37.66
Was the
creation Sabbath a shadow
00:41:37.69\00:41:39.63
that needed to be discontinued?
00:41:39.66\00:41:41.06
Now, I don't want
you to answer this yet.
00:41:41.10\00:41:44.43
Because what
we're going to do now,
00:41:44.47\00:41:47.34
you know the
answer is no, right?
00:41:47.37\00:41:50.97
What we're going to do now
00:41:51.01\00:41:52.34
is we're going to go through
all of the shadow Sabbath.
00:41:52.37\00:41:56.88
So that you can
see what was a shadow.
00:41:56.91\00:41:59.41
Now, what's a shadow?
00:41:59.45\00:42:01.48
Listen, listen, what's a shadow?
00:42:01.52\00:42:03.15
I wish I could create a shadow.
00:42:03.18\00:42:06.19
I got a shadow.
00:42:06.22\00:42:07.76
If you follow my
shadow, it leads to me.
00:42:07.79\00:42:10.99
Right?
00:42:11.03\00:42:12.99
Which means the
shadows had to lead somewhere,
00:42:13.03\00:42:19.43
the shadows had
to lead somewhere,
00:42:19.47\00:42:22.60
and based on the
text, the shadows,
00:42:22.64\00:42:25.64
these were
shadows of things to come,
00:42:25.67\00:42:27.94
but who was the substance?
00:42:27.98\00:42:31.78
And the word the
Bible uses is Christ.
00:42:31.81\00:42:34.18
Christ was the substance.
00:42:34.22\00:42:35.88
So here is the point.
00:42:35.92\00:42:37.25
All these things
00:42:37.29\00:42:39.72
had to be a
reflection of who was to come.
00:42:39.75\00:42:46.49
Let's go now and
break down the reflections.
00:42:46.53\00:42:50.40
We're going to go
to question number 21,
00:42:50.43\00:42:53.07
and I'm purposefully
leaving question 20 open,
00:42:53.10\00:42:55.40
although I know
the answer is no.
00:42:55.44\00:42:58.54
I'm purposefully
leaving question number 21
00:42:58.57\00:43:00.64
because I want to be
an inquiring inquirer.
00:43:00.68\00:43:03.31
I don't want to say
anything that you might say,
00:43:03.35\00:43:05.38
you're only saying that
because you keep the Sabbath.
00:43:05.41\00:43:07.38
I want the Bible to speak.
00:43:07.42\00:43:09.15
Let's go to
Leviticus question number 21,
00:43:09.18\00:43:10.89
here it is now, question 21.
00:43:10.92\00:43:14.32
What were some of
the "Shadow Sabbaths"
00:43:14.36\00:43:18.29
that pointed to
the work of Jesus?
00:43:18.33\00:43:21.73
Let's begin by
going to Leviticus.
00:43:21.76\00:43:24.13
Let's all turn there because
I'm only giving you some,
00:43:24.17\00:43:26.63
there were very many.
00:43:26.67\00:43:28.64
But I'm going to give
you only some, all right.
00:43:28.67\00:43:31.77
While you're going to Leviticus,
00:43:31.81\00:43:33.78
I'm turning there now. Okay.
00:43:33.81\00:43:38.61
Can we say, thank
the Lord for His Word?
00:43:38.65\00:43:42.12
No, I said say thank
the Lord for His Word.
00:43:42.15\00:43:44.79
Thank the Lord for His Word.
00:43:44.82\00:43:47.39
I want to let you know the board
00:43:47.42\00:43:48.82
has approved the
word "Thank you, Jesus."
00:43:48.86\00:43:52.56
Okay. It's amazing.
00:43:52.59\00:43:54.30
Now, Leviticus, here
it is, I'm in 23 now.
00:43:54.33\00:43:57.10
Here we are. Okay. Here we are.
00:43:57.13\00:43:59.93
Now, I'm only giving
you some, there are so many,
00:43:59.97\00:44:02.77
but let's begin to
break down these shadows
00:44:02.80\00:44:05.54
because this is huge.
00:44:05.57\00:44:08.58
You can't have a shadow
00:44:08.61\00:44:10.28
unless that shadow is
connected to a substance.
00:44:10.31\00:44:13.88
No, nothing that cast,
00:44:13.92\00:44:18.42
anything that casts a
shadow has to have substance.
00:44:18.45\00:44:21.82
So Jesus was saying,
00:44:21.86\00:44:23.76
"Until I come
here are the shadows
00:44:23.79\00:44:26.49
letting you know
I am going to come."
00:44:26.53\00:44:28.46
Let's look at the first one.
00:44:28.50\00:44:29.83
Leviticus 23:39.
All right, look at this.
00:44:29.86\00:44:34.10
And we're gonna give labels
00:44:34.14\00:44:35.47
and titles to each one of these.
00:44:35.50\00:44:36.84
Here it is.
Leviticus 23:39. Here it is.
00:44:36.87\00:44:40.58
"Also on the fifteenth
day of the, what month,
00:44:40.61\00:44:46.05
seventh month,
00:44:46.08\00:44:48.05
when you have gathered
in the fruit of the land,
00:44:48.08\00:44:51.59
you shall keep
the feast of the Lord,
00:44:51.62\00:44:53.72
how long, seven days."
00:44:53.76\00:44:55.89
Now, this brings
out two of the Sabbaths.
00:44:55.92\00:44:58.43
Let me go to the next verse.
00:44:58.46\00:45:00.03
Let's go to the next verse.
00:45:00.06\00:45:01.40
I mean the
continuation of the verse.
00:45:01.43\00:45:02.80
It says, "On the first
day there shall be a, what,
00:45:02.83\00:45:07.97
Sabbath-rest and on
the eighth day a, what,
00:45:08.00\00:45:12.34
Sabbath-rest.
00:45:12.37\00:45:13.71
Now notice it
says, a Sabbath-rest,
00:45:13.74\00:45:16.38
a Sabbath-rest.
00:45:16.41\00:45:18.08
What Sabbath-rest was this?
What Sabbath-rest was this?
00:45:18.11\00:45:21.78
Go back to the
beginning of the verse.
00:45:21.82\00:45:23.32
I'm turning there with myself.
00:45:23.35\00:45:25.09
The beginning of
the verse, here it is.
00:45:25.12\00:45:27.22
This is called the
gathering in of the fruit
00:45:27.26\00:45:30.83
or the first
fruits, the first fruits.
00:45:30.86\00:45:37.50
And this was a seven,
every, the Bible had sevens,
00:45:37.53\00:45:41.90
they had something
called every, they had seven,
00:45:41.94\00:45:44.94
seven months rest,
seven days of rest,
00:45:44.97\00:45:48.74
which was a seven day Sabbath.
00:45:48.78\00:45:51.31
They had a first day Sabbath.
00:45:51.35\00:45:53.62
They had an eighth day Sabbath.
00:45:53.65\00:45:55.58
These were feasts.
00:45:55.62\00:45:57.62
And this was
00:45:57.65\00:45:58.99
the Feast of First
Fruits, write that down.
00:45:59.02\00:46:02.16
So here we go
on Leviticus 23:39.
00:46:02.19\00:46:05.83
What day was the
first day mentioned?
00:46:05.86\00:46:08.86
Fifteenth day,
00:46:08.90\00:46:10.37
it's the beginning of the verse.
00:46:10.40\00:46:11.73
Also on the what?
00:46:11.77\00:46:13.10
Fifteenth day of
the seventh month.
00:46:13.13\00:46:15.80
That was the Sabbath.
00:46:15.84\00:46:17.17
The 15th day.
No, not that verse.
00:46:17.21\00:46:19.77
Not that verse yet.
00:46:19.81\00:46:21.14
We're going back,
we're looking over verse 39.
00:46:21.18\00:46:23.01
On the 15th day, so
in question number 21
00:46:23.04\00:46:25.98
under the first
reference on a put 15th, 15th.
00:46:26.01\00:46:30.35
I'll bring that up on the screen
00:46:30.39\00:46:31.72
so my people in the
audience here can see.
00:46:31.75\00:46:33.09
Here on the 15th day, all right?
00:46:33.12\00:46:37.73
Of what month?
00:46:37.76\00:46:39.49
Seventh month.
Write that down for B.
00:46:39.53\00:46:42.66
Fifteenth day of
the seventh month
00:46:42.70\00:46:46.13
of the sabbatical month,
00:46:46.17\00:46:48.30
was when they
gathered the fruits in.
00:46:48.34\00:46:50.74
It was called the Feast
00:46:50.77\00:46:52.57
and it was a
feast for seven days.
00:46:52.61\00:46:55.01
So A is 15th
day, B is 7th month.
00:46:55.04\00:46:59.48
These were shadow Sabbaths.
00:46:59.51\00:47:00.92
This was the
gathering in off the fruits.
00:47:00.95\00:47:02.72
It's also called the
Feast of First Fruits.
00:47:02.75\00:47:06.02
It's a harvest
time, the seventh month.
00:47:06.05\00:47:09.42
Now, let's go to the
very next to that verse
00:47:09.46\00:47:10.93
and then you
have on the first day
00:47:10.96\00:47:14.03
there shall be a,
what, Sabbath-rest
00:47:14.06\00:47:16.26
and on the, what, eighth day
there should be a Sabbath-rest.
00:47:16.30\00:47:19.40
These are feasts that
were specifically ordained
00:47:19.43\00:47:23.51
for the Jews to honor.
00:47:23.54\00:47:25.57
These were
feasts that they honored
00:47:25.61\00:47:27.38
during this seventh month.
00:47:27.41\00:47:29.51
So in the seventh month
they had a 15 day Sabbath,
00:47:29.54\00:47:34.32
a first day Sabbath,
and an eighth day Sabbath.
00:47:34.35\00:47:37.22
It was all called Sabbath.
00:47:37.25\00:47:38.59
You know, the day, you know
00:47:38.62\00:47:39.95
what the word
Sabbath simply means?
00:47:39.99\00:47:41.32
It means holy convocation.
It means holy convocation.
00:47:41.36\00:47:44.99
You got to know these
because what happens here is
00:47:45.03\00:47:47.13
when people connect these
with the Ten Commandments,
00:47:47.16\00:47:52.23
you get confused and
if you're not careful,
00:47:52.27\00:47:54.94
you merge them together.
00:47:54.97\00:47:57.14
Now, I'm gonna give
myself in the very next question
00:47:57.17\00:47:59.07
we'll see why we
cannot merge them together.
00:47:59.11\00:48:01.58
All right.
00:48:01.61\00:48:02.94
So on question 21,
first one you have A 15,
00:48:02.98\00:48:07.38
B seventh month, C
first day, D eighth day.
00:48:07.42\00:48:12.69
Those are the...
00:48:12.72\00:48:14.06
those are four
Sabbaths right there.
00:48:14.09\00:48:16.52
Now, let's go to
the very next verse.
00:48:16.56\00:48:18.29
Leviticus 23:27-32.
00:48:18.33\00:48:23.73
Here it is. Now you
can bring the text up.
00:48:23.77\00:48:26.23
Verse 27, it says
also on the, what,
00:48:26.27\00:48:31.91
tenth day of the seventh month
00:48:31.94\00:48:35.04
shall be the,
what, Day of Atonement.
00:48:35.08\00:48:39.45
Write that down.
00:48:39.48\00:48:41.02
And let's keep
reading the verses.
00:48:41.05\00:48:42.65
And it says you
shall afflict your souls
00:48:42.68\00:48:45.05
and offer an offering
made by fire what, to the Lord.
00:48:45.09\00:48:49.29
Now, look at
verse 32. Here it is.
00:48:49.32\00:48:52.99
It shall be to you together,
a Sabbath of solemn rest
00:48:53.03\00:48:59.30
and you shall afflict
your souls on the, what day,
00:48:59.33\00:49:03.41
ninth day of
the month at evening
00:49:03.44\00:49:06.71
from evening to
evening you shall, what,
00:49:06.74\00:49:09.54
celebrate your, what's the word,
00:49:09.58\00:49:12.95
your Sabbath.
00:49:12.98\00:49:14.52
Now, which one was this?
00:49:14.55\00:49:16.35
We got the answer in the verse
before that somebody tell me
00:49:16.38\00:49:19.05
what, what celebration was that?
00:49:19.09\00:49:21.46
Day Of Atonement.
00:49:21.49\00:49:22.89
When was it? When was it?
00:49:22.92\00:49:25.53
On the ninth day
of the, what month,
00:49:25.56\00:49:30.93
ninth day of the tenth month.
00:49:30.97\00:49:32.67
So now here is the answer.
00:49:32.70\00:49:34.37
Under Leviticus 23:27
put Day of Atonement under A.
00:49:34.40\00:49:40.98
And put, and put ninth day,
00:49:41.01\00:49:45.11
ninth day tenth month under B.
00:49:45.15\00:49:48.58
Ninth day tenth month under B.
00:49:48.62\00:49:51.32
Here it is.
00:49:51.35\00:49:53.05
On the ninth day of
the month that evening
00:49:53.09\00:49:56.42
and it was
under the tenth month.
00:49:56.46\00:49:58.16
Okay?
00:49:58.19\00:49:59.96
Of the seventh month,
ninth day of the seventh month.
00:50:00.00\00:50:02.50
So here you are.
00:50:02.53\00:50:03.87
You have the Day of Atonement,
00:50:03.90\00:50:05.23
the ninth day of
the seventh month.
00:50:05.27\00:50:07.90
That's another shadow Sabbath.
This happened once a year.
00:50:07.94\00:50:11.27
The Jews had a Day
of Atonement service
00:50:11.31\00:50:12.84
and what was that
purpose of that service?
00:50:12.87\00:50:16.91
The cleansing of sin.
00:50:16.95\00:50:18.58
Every day they
sacrificed their sin,
00:50:18.61\00:50:20.78
they took the life of
the lamb, sprinkle the blood,
00:50:20.82\00:50:23.39
but once a year they
call the Day of Atonement
00:50:23.42\00:50:26.15
where the sins
were not just confessed
00:50:26.19\00:50:27.96
they were, what, blotted out.
00:50:27.99\00:50:32.13
They were I was
forgiven every day
00:50:32.16\00:50:34.76
but my sins were blotted out
00:50:34.80\00:50:36.46
once a year in
the Day of Atonement.
00:50:36.50\00:50:40.00
That was in the seventh month,
00:50:40.04\00:50:43.10
the ninth day of
the seventh month
00:50:43.14\00:50:45.81
was called the Day of Atonement.
00:50:45.84\00:50:47.84
Let's go to the next
one. Let's go to next one.
00:50:47.88\00:50:50.78
Chapter 23:24.
Chapter23:24. Here it is.
00:50:50.81\00:50:56.62
Okay.
00:50:56.65\00:50:58.35
Here's what the
Bible says, together.
00:50:58.39\00:50:59.89
"Speak to the children
of Israel saying in the,
00:50:59.92\00:51:03.43
what month now,
seventh month on the, what day,
00:51:03.46\00:51:09.60
first day of the month
00:51:09.63\00:51:11.90
you shall have
together a Sabbath-rest,
00:51:11.93\00:51:15.60
a memorial of,
what, blowing of trumpets.
00:51:15.64\00:51:19.47
Hey, what else?
Holy convocation.
00:51:19.51\00:51:23.81
Going on.
00:51:23.85\00:51:26.01
I'll give you that one
they're so that's that one.
00:51:26.05\00:51:27.85
So now what is that called?
00:51:27.88\00:51:31.15
Okay. Okay.
00:51:31.19\00:51:32.59
And what day was
this supposed to be on?
00:51:32.62\00:51:36.36
The first day of what month?
00:51:36.39\00:51:38.53
Seventh month, exactly,
00:51:38.56\00:51:39.89
now, why the first
day of the seventh month?
00:51:39.93\00:51:43.53
Because the
blowing of the trumpets
00:51:43.57\00:51:45.23
was always a warning
of the Day of Atonement.
00:51:45.27\00:51:48.10
So, the trumpets were
blown and the Lord said,
00:51:48.14\00:51:50.21
"It shall be a Sabbath-rest".
00:51:50.24\00:51:52.44
When the trumpets began to blow,
00:51:52.47\00:51:53.81
the people were to rest,
00:51:53.84\00:51:55.41
prepare themselves
for the Day of Atonement,
00:51:55.44\00:51:57.55
and it was
called a Sabbath-rest.
00:51:57.58\00:51:59.71
Now, let me ask
a question today.
00:51:59.75\00:52:01.45
How many Christians have
the blowing of the trumpets
00:52:01.48\00:52:03.25
in your church?
00:52:03.28\00:52:04.62
How many Christians
celebrate the Day of Atonement?
00:52:04.65\00:52:06.09
How many Christians have
the feast of first fruits?
00:52:06.12\00:52:08.52
None of us.
00:52:08.56\00:52:09.89
Because these are all
foreshadowing the work
00:52:09.92\00:52:12.39
that Jesus would
do, and when was this?
00:52:12.43\00:52:15.20
That's when was this?
00:52:15.23\00:52:17.07
The seventh month, the
first day of the month,
00:52:17.10\00:52:20.24
write that down
for Leviticus 23:24.
00:52:20.27\00:52:25.51
Blowing up the
trumpets on the seventh month,
00:52:25.54\00:52:29.18
the first day of the month.
00:52:29.21\00:52:30.91
Notice how you can get confused.
00:52:30.95\00:52:32.75
If you're not if you
don't read your Bible carefully
00:52:32.78\00:52:35.48
you can have a pastor
that lumps all this together
00:52:35.52\00:52:38.15
and make you think
just pick a Sabbath,
00:52:38.19\00:52:40.42
and that's why people do that,
00:52:40.46\00:52:42.22
because they don't
see the shadows Sabbaths,
00:52:42.26\00:52:44.59
they miss them.
00:52:44.63\00:52:45.96
These are all
pointing to the work of Christ.
00:52:45.99\00:52:48.33
Now let's look at the next one.
00:52:48.36\00:52:50.87
All right.
00:52:50.90\00:52:52.57
We're going to go
now to Leviticus 23:4-5.
00:52:52.60\00:52:56.20
And here it's going to appear
on the screen now here it is,
00:52:56.24\00:52:59.94
"These are the
feasts of the Lord,
00:52:59.97\00:53:04.41
holy convocations
00:53:04.45\00:53:06.72
which you shall proclaim
at their appointed times."
00:53:06.75\00:53:10.42
Now, let's read together.
00:53:10.45\00:53:11.79
On the, what day, 14th
day of the, what month,
00:53:11.82\00:53:15.89
first month at
twilight is the Lord's Passover
00:53:15.92\00:53:21.03
what's supposed to happen.
00:53:21.06\00:53:22.40
So let's write that down.
00:53:22.43\00:53:23.77
What's what day
is it supposed to be?
00:53:23.80\00:53:26.97
Fourteenth day
of the first month
00:53:27.00\00:53:29.74
the Passover the
Lord's Passover is a Sabbath,
00:53:29.77\00:53:33.21
a shadow Sabbath.
00:53:33.24\00:53:35.24
Because today, do
we honor the Passover?
00:53:35.28\00:53:37.08
Yes or no?
00:53:37.11\00:53:38.55
What's in place of the Passover?
00:53:38.58\00:53:40.45
Somebody tell me.
The communion service.
00:53:40.48\00:53:45.09
Jesus during the
time of Passover,
00:53:45.12\00:53:48.49
when the lamb was about to
be killed for the Passover,
00:53:48.52\00:53:51.93
the Lamb of God was
being nailed to the cross
00:53:51.96\00:53:55.10
and the Jews there were about
to take the life of the Lamb,
00:53:55.13\00:53:58.47
the Lamb got away, the curtain
was torn from top to bottom,
00:53:58.50\00:54:01.90
read it there,
Matthew Chapter 27
00:54:01.94\00:54:03.71
and the Lamb Christ
Jesus was being crucified.
00:54:03.74\00:54:06.71
Can you say amen? Amen.
00:54:06.74\00:54:08.41
So this was normally
00:54:08.44\00:54:09.78
the real Lamb
giving his literal life,
00:54:09.81\00:54:13.38
his throat being
cut, his blood being shed.
00:54:13.42\00:54:16.58
How are we forgiven?
00:54:16.62\00:54:18.69
We overcome by the
blood of the Lamb, a shadow.
00:54:18.72\00:54:22.76
that little lamb pointed
to the Lamb Christ Jesus.
00:54:22.79\00:54:26.06
So when John the
Baptist in John 1:29 said
00:54:26.09\00:54:28.53
"Behold the Lamb of God".
00:54:28.56\00:54:30.87
The reason why they knew
is because for 1,500 years
00:54:30.90\00:54:33.74
they've been
killing the shadow lamb.
00:54:33.77\00:54:36.84
But the real lamb
showed up Christ Jesus.
00:54:36.87\00:54:39.01
Come on somebody. It's a shadow.
00:54:39.04\00:54:41.38
So every time they
celebrate a Passover
00:54:41.41\00:54:44.38
it was to point them to Christ.
00:54:44.41\00:54:46.45
That's why it
was such a travesty
00:54:46.48\00:54:48.42
when Jesus came,
00:54:48.45\00:54:50.05
He came to His own people
00:54:50.09\00:54:52.19
that He had given
these shadow Sabbath
00:54:52.22\00:54:54.72
and they didn't
even recognize Him.
00:54:54.76\00:54:57.53
Who are you?
00:54:57.56\00:54:59.59
Before Abraham was You am,
you're not even old enough.
00:54:59.63\00:55:05.17
They didn't
recognize the Lamb of God
00:55:05.20\00:55:07.37
that was the travesty.
00:55:07.40\00:55:08.74
But the devil has
turned it around now.
00:55:08.77\00:55:12.94
And he wants Christians today
00:55:12.97\00:55:14.48
to ignore what God
established from the beginning,
00:55:14.51\00:55:16.58
and try to find
another way to Christ.
00:55:16.61\00:55:18.41
The only way to
Christ is through obedience.
00:55:18.45\00:55:19.91
Let's get the last one now.
00:55:19.95\00:55:22.28
Leviticus 23:6.
Leviticus 23:6. Here it is.
00:55:22.32\00:55:27.52
All right, here it is.
00:55:27.56\00:55:31.06
And on the, what day,
00:55:31.09\00:55:33.66
the 15th day of the same month
00:55:33.70\00:55:38.87
and, what month was that,
first month is the feast of,
00:55:38.90\00:55:44.14
what, Unleavened
Bread to the Lord,
00:55:44.17\00:55:48.24
you must eat,
what, unleavened bread.
00:55:48.28\00:55:52.21
What do we use
unleavened bread for today?
00:55:52.25\00:55:55.25
Somebody tell me.
The communion service.
00:55:55.28\00:55:59.39
Now, you want to know
that the unleavened bread
00:55:59.42\00:56:03.79
is a shadow of the
bread of life, right.
00:56:03.83\00:56:07.20
When Jesus came to the
disciples, to the Jews,
00:56:07.23\00:56:10.20
there in John 8, they saw Him.
00:56:10.23\00:56:14.87
And he said, "Your
fathers gave you bread
00:56:14.90\00:56:18.81
in the
wilderness," remember that?
00:56:18.84\00:56:21.51
And they said,
"Of course they did",
00:56:21.54\00:56:24.11
he said "Well, I am
the true bread that came,
00:56:24.15\00:56:28.48
Moses couldn't give you bread
00:56:28.52\00:56:30.52
but my father
has given you bread.
00:56:30.55\00:56:32.29
I am the true bread,"
00:56:32.32\00:56:35.22
the bread in the
wilderness pointed to Jesus
00:56:35.26\00:56:37.86
the bread of life.
00:56:37.89\00:56:39.23
Can you say amen?
00:56:39.26\00:56:40.60
Let me show you, the
water in the sanctuary service
00:56:40.63\00:56:43.73
the water there in the laver
00:56:43.77\00:56:45.10
where the priest wash their hand
00:56:45.13\00:56:47.04
was a shadow of the
water of life Jesus.
00:56:47.07\00:56:51.61
The Lamb being slain was
a shadow of the Lamb of God
00:56:51.64\00:56:56.24
which taketh away the
sin of the world, right?
00:56:56.28\00:56:59.88
The candelabras in the sanctuary
00:56:59.91\00:57:02.55
was a shadow of the
Jesus the light of the world.
00:57:02.58\00:57:08.26
The high priest who
was a man who was sinful
00:57:08.29\00:57:12.06
who had to confess his own sins
00:57:12.09\00:57:13.46
before he
participated in the services,
00:57:13.50\00:57:15.96
was a shadow of a high priest
00:57:16.00\00:57:18.17
who was sinless What do you say?
00:57:18.20\00:57:21.20
That was weak amen. Amen.
00:57:21.24\00:57:22.64
Amen? Amen.
00:57:22.67\00:57:24.04
We have a high priest
00:57:24.07\00:57:25.64
that doesn't need
to create a sacrifice
00:57:25.67\00:57:28.44
because he is the sacrifice.
00:57:28.48\00:57:30.71
You see, friends,
were going to continue
00:57:30.75\00:57:32.75
and you will see
in the next study,
00:57:32.78\00:57:35.18
why the shadow
Sabbath which were added
00:57:35.22\00:57:37.82
because of sin
cannot replace the Sabbath
00:57:37.85\00:57:41.69
which was instituted before sin.
00:57:41.72\00:57:44.56
That's the
comparative nature right there.
00:57:44.59\00:57:47.43
I know it's a challenge
00:57:47.46\00:57:48.80
to understand
some of these things,
00:57:48.83\00:57:50.17
but if you keep on studying
allowing the Word of God
00:57:50.20\00:57:52.77
to be your guide, you'll
see that it's a simple thing
00:57:52.80\00:57:55.74
to honor what the
Lord has established.
00:57:55.77\00:57:57.71
So don't stop now
because I believed
00:57:57.74\00:57:59.67
if you keep going one day
00:57:59.71\00:58:01.28
it will come
into a sharper focus.
00:58:01.31\00:58:03.51
God bless you.
00:58:03.55\00:58:04.88
