Today is a story that we're
gonna do that some of you and
00:00:19.71\00:00:25.35
many of you might know
about but we want to bring some
00:00:25.38\00:00:28.81
significance, we want to
open the Scriptures and maybe
00:00:28.84\00:00:31.71
in a little bit different
way and it's about remembering.
00:00:31.74\00:00:34.23
"A Day To Remember. " So
you need to get those Bibles of
00:00:34.26\00:00:38.55
yours out and we are
going to start, where, Mark?
00:00:38.58\00:00:42.44
Because >> It start's >you
were going to start this story
00:00:42.47\00:00:44.44
>>in Luke Chapter 10 >OK. Luke
Chapter 10. Get those Bibles, if
00:00:44.47\00:00:48.60
you have them, open them.
Luke Chapter 10. Before we start
00:00:48.63\00:00:51.05
want to have our prayer.
But we'll go to Luke Chapter 10,
00:00:51.08\00:00:53.93
right now. >>Page 1226 of Luke
Chapter 10, verse 38 is where
00:00:53.96\00:00:58.88
we're going to begin. >Would
you like to have prayer? >>Yeah.
00:00:58.91\00:01:01.16
Why don't we pray? >OK
>>"Heavenly Father we pray that
00:01:01.19\00:01:05.09
the Holy Spirit would be given
us to give us understanding
00:01:05.12\00:01:08.19
now in this
passage we study. >Amen
00:01:08.22\00:01:10.50
>>Father teach us the spiritual
significance, teach us how
00:01:10.53\00:01:13.57
to apply what we learn
here, so that we may be faithful
00:01:13.60\00:01:16.96
in all that we do >Hmm >>as we
are followers of You, we ask and
00:01:16.99\00:01:22.09
pray this in the Name of Jesus.
Amen. >Amen. OK. Luke Chapter
00:01:22.12\00:01:27.71
10. >>Luke Chapter 10 and verse
38 which right off I think our
00:01:27.74\00:01:31.74
Viewers would be familiar
with the story but they may not
00:01:31.77\00:01:33.68
know it all, what it would
have to do with remembering >OK
00:01:33.71\00:01:35.99
>>But we are going to get
there. Luke 10 >OK >>verse 38
00:01:36.02\00:01:39.57
Now, what we want to talk about
today, first of all is, the Day
00:02:20.97\00:02:24.38
to Remember being >OK >>the
day God said to remember in his
00:02:24.41\00:02:27.06
Commandments and that is
the Sabbath Day. >Right. >>You
00:02:27.09\00:02:29.66
know a lot of people Dwight,
of course we've talked about
00:02:29.69\00:02:31.42
this before and we- we believe
that- that the Seventh Day
00:02:31.45\00:02:35.15
Sabbath is something that God
wants us to keep as Christians
00:02:35.18\00:02:38.15
and a lot of people miss the
significance of the Sabbath and
00:02:38.18\00:02:42.79
sometimes people will say,
"Well, you're going to keep
00:02:42.83\00:02:44.71
the Seventh Day Sabbath
you know it's a legalistic
00:02:44.74\00:02:47.40
thing to do. It's just about
you know works and your agenda
00:02:47.43\00:02:51.29
or just trying to be too
particular" but what this story
00:02:51.32\00:02:55.60
does is it actually gives
us a little bit more depth into
00:02:55.63\00:02:59.38
the reasons why we
believe that Sabbath keeping is
00:02:59.57\00:03:02.66
important and maybe we ought
to go back with when God- you
00:03:02.69\00:03:07.82
know of course in the
Commandments said to remember
00:03:07.85\00:03:09.54
>Right. >>even prior to that
when he gave instructions in
00:03:09.57\00:03:12.44
the wilderness to keep the
Sabbath, he told his people to
00:03:12.47\00:03:17.17
do all of their preparation
beforehand. It's got to be known
00:03:17.20\00:03:20.40
as the Preparation Day before
the Sabbath. >That's right.
00:03:20.43\00:03:23.49
Right. >>because- because
the Sabbath was a day where they
00:03:23.52\00:03:26.54
were to spend that day with
God and what God wanted to do is
00:03:26.57\00:03:30.63
make sure all that unnecessary
work was done so that he would
00:03:30.66\00:03:34.17
have that time, that undivided
time with them and this is what
00:03:34.20\00:03:37.47
we are seeing in principle
in the story of Mary and Martha.
00:03:37.50\00:03:40.08
Here comes Jesus to spend
time with them, Martha is so
00:03:40.11\00:03:43.76
busy with everything else she
has to do >And- and good things.
00:03:43.79\00:03:46.97
>>Yeah. >I mean, she's making
the dinner, she's- she's- in- in
00:03:47.00\00:03:49.90
fact Martha gets quite upset.
>>Yeah. >You know, she comes out
00:03:49.93\00:03:53.77
and rails on Jesus a little bit
about you know, about Mary but
00:03:53.89\00:03:57.67
Mary wanted to rest in Christ
so that- that's a good story. >>
00:03:57.70\00:04:01.69
That's right. Martha, you
know Martha understood also. The
00:04:01.72\00:04:04.66
teaching of Christ also taught
about the importance of being
00:04:04.69\00:04:07.05
diligent >Yes >>being a
good worker >Yep >>and so Martha
00:04:07.08\00:04:10.43
thought for sure that Jesus
would- would support him- her in
00:04:10.46\00:04:14.25
having Mary go in and help her
work but what Jesus is drawing a
00:04:14.28\00:04:17.92
distinction of is that Mary was
taking this brief opportunity,
00:04:17.95\00:04:22.40
I mean, how often did Jesus have
time to come and just sit down
00:04:22.43\00:04:24.82
>Right. >>and spend time in
this home >Yes >> and he was out
00:04:24.85\00:04:27.75
traveling about so Mary, she
knew she could cook and clean
00:04:27.78\00:04:31.67
and anything else some other
time but now was her time with
00:04:31.70\00:04:35.13
Jesus and this you know, and
of course Jesus says you know,
00:04:35.16\00:04:38.41
"Martha, Martha you
trouble yourself about all these
00:04:38.44\00:04:40.27
things. "They were all important
things >Right >>but now is the
00:04:40.30\00:04:43.09
time that- that you should be
spending focusing on you know,
00:04:43.12\00:04:47.60
be- being able to spend time
with your Guest >Right. >>and
00:04:47.63\00:04:49.74
that's what I see
Dwight in- in Sabbath keeping.
00:04:49.77\00:04:53.22
In the Biblical principle,
Sabbath keeping, you know even
00:04:53.25\00:04:56.32
preparing beforehand and
everything, is that when we
00:04:56.35\00:04:58.52
come to the Sabbath Day, it's
our time with God >Absolutely
00:04:58.55\00:05:01.65
and I think you know for
years, I mean, way before I was
00:05:01.68\00:05:06.74
born obviously but I think we-
I think we argue as Christians
00:05:06.77\00:05:11.78
too much about things that
we should be- we should be way
00:05:11.81\00:05:18.34
past. In other words, we
argue over a day >>Uhh hmm >the
00:05:18.37\00:05:22.43
seventh day, the first day
>> Yeah >and yet if we knew the
00:05:22.46\00:05:27.16
significance of the Sabbath >>
Yeah >we'd be past the arguing
00:05:27.19\00:05:32.00
stages >>Yeah Yes, we wouldn't
be past the > why would we want
00:05:32.03\00:05:33.33
to defend something, number
one, that's not scriptural?
00:05:33.36\00:05:36.42
Why do we want to say
it doesn't matter when
00:05:36.45\00:05:37.81
when Christ says it matters but
>>Yeah >to me it's even great-
00:05:37.84\00:05:40.34
deeper than >>Yeah >that >>xxx
>especially. The deep issue is
00:05:40.37\00:05:42.79
that we're- we're arguing over
something and Satan wants us to
00:05:42.82\00:05:46.93
argue because when he divides
us- us Christians, he wins >>
00:05:46.96\00:05:51.06
Yeah. >and so he loves it when
he can get us Christians divided
00:05:51.09\00:05:55.32
and the thing with it, it's not
about what you say, what I say
00:05:55.35\00:05:58.32
what the Baptist say,
the Methodist say, the
00:05:58.35\00:06:01.40
Presbyterians, the Catholics,
whatever, what is truth and- and
00:06:01.43\00:06:04.60
to me, what I really want to
get across today is why- why is
00:06:04.63\00:06:08.96
the Sabbath so significant
that we should remember it
00:06:08.99\00:06:13.16
because that's why sometimes
we argue. "Well, you know,
00:06:13.19\00:06:15.52
I'll rest on my day, you
rest on your day, we have our
00:06:15.55\00:06:17.60
same day of rest" >>Yes >but
there is- it's-it's greater than
00:06:17.63\00:06:20.45
just resting physically. There
is something about the Seventh
00:06:20.48\00:06:24.61
Day Sabbath that's-the reason
it is the Seventh Day Sabbath >>
00:06:24.64\00:06:28.76
That's right >and- and that's
why I think that- that I want
00:06:28.79\00:06:32.00
to get across, you want to
get across today to the >>Yeah
00:06:32.03\00:06:33.78
Viewers because otherwise it's
just one of the thing. "Well,
00:06:33.81\00:06:36.42
we can prove it in the Bible"
and we can but I believe if- if
00:06:36.45\00:06:40.77
you can grasp the deeper
significance of this Sabbath
00:06:40.80\00:06:44.96
rest, then- then you
would be- be leaping heads and
00:06:44.99\00:06:49.61
shoulders above most people
in the Christian World because
00:06:49.64\00:06:52.22
even I think, many Seventh
Day Adventists and Seventh
00:06:52.25\00:06:56.33
Day Baptists >>Yeah >and Seventh
Day Assembly of God, I mean,
00:06:56.36\00:06:58.79
there's a lot of Christians that
go to Church on the Seventh >>
00:06:58.82\00:07:01.54
That's right. >Day Sabbath.
>> The Jews went to Church on a
00:07:01.57\00:07:03.15
>The Church >>Saturday too >
Yeah. That's right. >>The same
00:07:03.18\00:07:04.85
Church that crucified Christ
> Absolutely >>and so > and- but
00:07:04.88\00:07:07.36
they- but they are losing the
significance of the Sabbath. >>
00:07:07.39\00:07:10.45
Well, let's >the remember part
>>Yeah, let's touch on one part
00:07:10.48\00:07:13.09
of the >OK >>in the Book of
Genesis where God sets apart the
00:07:13.12\00:07:16.41
Sabbath Day, it says, that when
God had finished his work of
00:07:16.44\00:07:20.31
creation, Verse 2. It wasn't
any other day, in the Bible,
00:07:28.58\00:07:31.19
specific, not a seventh day, The
Seventh Day >Right. >>Then it
00:07:31.22\00:07:33.23
says, verse 3
00:07:33.26\00:07:34.25
the King James says,
00:07:37.77\00:07:39.05
>and - and it means also to
set apart>> that's right and the
00:07:43.25\00:07:45.83
way- what lot of
people don't understand our
00:07:45.86\00:07:47.36
Viewers may not
understand, is the
00:07:47.39\00:07:48.77
way God set things apart
or made them Holy was with his
00:07:48.80\00:07:51.47
presence >Yes >>one of my- one
of my favorite examples in my
00:07:51.50\00:07:54.58
mind, of course you have the-
the burning bush >Yes >>where
00:07:54.61\00:07:57.14
Moses comes and God said,
"Take the shoes off your feet
00:07:57.17\00:07:59.03
because the ground your on
is Holy. "What do you mean, this
00:07:59.06\00:08:01.71
ground here is Holier than that
ground? What made it Holier?
00:08:01.74\00:08:04.70
God's presence made
it Holier >That's right
00:08:04.73\00:08:06.49
>>and one of my favorites
is when during the rebellion of
00:08:06.52\00:08:09.18
Corah, 250 men and women brought
their sensors, their golden
00:08:09.21\00:08:12.44
>That's right >>the men were
consumed and then God says- you
00:08:12.47\00:08:15.93
know they were destroyed, for
their pretentiousness and then
00:08:15.96\00:08:19.04
God says now, "I want you to
gather up all of those sensors
00:08:19.07\00:08:21.46
because they are Holy now.
" >Yes. >>They're Holy now.
00:08:21.49\00:08:24.33
Why? Because they came into
the presence of God and so >Yes
00:08:24.36\00:08:26.68
>>when we talk about the Sabbath
being Holy, what we are talking
00:08:26.71\00:08:28.60
about is that God's presence
is there in a special measure on
00:08:28.63\00:08:32.10
that day. >That's exactly right
and also that- that we get-
00:08:32.13\00:08:36.23
because we have to take a break
here in a little bit but Friday,
00:08:36.26\00:08:40.16
the 6th day, was the
Preparation Day >>That's right.
00:08:40.19\00:08:43.37
>which ushered in The
Seventh Day Sabbath and I think
00:08:43.40\00:08:46.50
>>and the Bible tells us- of
course according to the Bible
00:08:46.53\00:08:47.59
this day went from evening
to evening >evening >>so Friday
00:08:47.87\00:08:49.58
evening to Saturday evening >
Yeah. Friday evening to Saturday
00:08:49.61\00:08:51.67
evening but Friday before
the Sun went down, you prepared
00:08:51.70\00:08:54.34
for the Sabbath. I mean how many
people today, no matter what
00:08:54.37\00:08:58.90
Church you go to or people go
to, prepares for their rest day?
00:08:58.93\00:09:03.46
>>That's right. >I mean, in
fact, many people that go to
00:09:03.87\00:09:06.41
Christian Churches you
know, they go to Church in the
00:09:06.44\00:09:08.64
morning, they go shopping in
the afternoon, they watch their
00:09:08.67\00:09:10.46
football games,
their basketball >>OK.
00:09:10.49\00:09:11.62
>it's like any other
day excepting they aren't
00:09:11.65\00:09:14.30
working that day, it's- it's
their job but everything else
00:09:14.33\00:09:17.68
is exactly the same and
this Preparation Day to me has a
00:09:17.71\00:09:20.43
lot to do with remember. What-
we're going- we're going to
00:09:20.46\00:09:24.86
get to, we gotta- the
clock- you know I just heard
00:09:24.89\00:09:28.28
C D Brooks, Pastor C D Brooks
say, "The Tyranny of time. "
00:09:28.31\00:09:31.67
>>Oh Yeah >and it seems like
you never can beat that time
00:09:31.70\00:09:34.55
clock but we'll be right back,
to get into the Preparation Day.
00:09:34.58\00:09:39.10
What it means
to really remember.
00:09:39.13\00:09:40.97
How is that work in your
life? What makes it significant?
00:09:41.00\00:09:45.41
Don't go away
because we'll be right back.
00:09:45.44\00:09:47.96
>Hi. I'm Larry and I want
to share something with you
00:09:50.95\00:09:53.14
that comes straight
from Remnant Publications
00:09:53.17\00:09:55.32
and I am excited about it
because it helped strengthened
00:09:55.35\00:09:57.60
my walk with God in a huge
way and I know it will help you
00:09:57.63\00:10:00.79
too and it's
this new Apple iPod.
00:10:00.82\00:10:02.96
It comes preloaded
with a huge selection of
00:10:02.99\00:10:06.24
Remnants Audio Books.
Books like "Desire of Ages,"
00:10:06.27\00:10:09.50
"Great Controversy"
and "Steps To Christ"
00:10:09.53\00:10:11.86
and it comes with the entire
Testimonies for the Church set
00:10:11.89\00:10:14.48
preloaded, right on there.
Let's take a closer look. >>
00:10:14.51\00:10:17.46
For 25 years, I've had such
a burden to get people to get
00:10:17.49\00:10:22.02
truth filled Books in
their Homes and I'm excited that
00:10:22.05\00:10:25.03
Remnant Publications now
has Books on Audio and you
00:10:25.06\00:10:28.87
know what? You can listen
to them in an airplane, you can
00:10:28.90\00:10:31.26
listen to them when you're
driving to work and in fact
00:10:31.29\00:10:33.51
I was just talking to a good
friend of mine, that told me
00:10:33.54\00:10:36.19
this, "Dwight, I just take
my truck and I listen as I go
00:10:36.22\00:10:40.26
to work and when I shut off
the truck, it's the first time
00:10:40.29\00:10:42.54
in years that I can remember,
that I'd like to stay in the
00:10:42.57\00:10:45.09
truck and just keep listening
to them. " Now as never before
00:10:45.12\00:10:48.67
people don't have to put it
off, they can get the message,
00:10:48.70\00:10:51.29
the Word of God from
their head to their heart. >
00:10:51.32\00:10:54.07
As small as these iPods are,
you'll be amazed at the quality
00:10:54.10\00:10:57.22
of sound that
comes from them. >>
00:10:57.25\00:10:58.55
We've taken extreme care
in making these audio files as
00:10:58.58\00:11:01.93
true to their original quality
as possible. From the voices
00:11:01.96\00:11:05.22
that you hear reading
everything, to the music and the
00:11:05.25\00:11:08.17
sounds that you hear are
just as beautiful as they should
00:11:08.20\00:11:10.60
sound. >Not only is the iPod
easy to use but you can also do
00:11:11.09\00:11:15.50
so much more than
a regular MP3 Player.
00:11:15.53\00:11:18.05
You can load it with iPod Apps,
Calendars, Calculators, text
00:11:18.08\00:11:23.22
versions of Bibles and
you can put all sorts of Apps.
00:11:23.25\00:11:26.05
The sky's the limit. >>
00:11:26.08\00:11:27.25
I have to admit that I thought
that there would be many who
00:11:27.28\00:11:30.49
are intimidated by Technology
that would be afraid to try
00:11:30.52\00:11:33.11
this new tool but when people
see how easy it is to use, they
00:11:33.14\00:11:37.14
typically end up a happy user.
Usually they take it out of
00:11:37.17\00:11:40.65
the box, plug in your
headphones, go into the book you
00:11:40.68\00:11:43.07
want to read and you're
listening. It really is that
00:11:43.10\00:11:46.40
easy. >We realize there is some
people who already have their
00:11:46.98\00:11:50.21
own iPods or MP3 Players
and that's also why we have also
00:11:50.24\00:11:53.53
made these Books available
on Flash Drives, like this one.
00:11:53.56\00:11:56.27
People can easily copy the
files from this small drive
00:11:56.30\00:11:59.67
to their own MP3 Player. >>
00:11:59.70\00:12:01.27
I am so excited about this
new technology but it's not the
00:12:02.82\00:12:06.60
technology that makes it so
special, like Mom used to say,
00:12:06.63\00:12:09.64
"It's what's on the inside that
matters most" and this iPod is
00:12:09.67\00:12:12.56
no exception. Check this out. >
00:12:12.59\00:12:13.99
>>The new fully loaded iPod
has being such a blessing to me
00:12:29.39\00:12:32.76
and many others and Remnant
wants it to be a blessing
00:12:32.79\00:12:36.13
to you too. >You can have all
this in your daily devotions to
00:12:36.74\00:12:39.32
prepare you and your
Family for the Second Coming.
00:12:39.35\00:12:42.40
Be equipped to face the future
with God's powerful message
00:12:42.43\00:12:46.96
of faith and hope for today. >>

Russians Officials accepted
the Vatican credentials of
00:12:49.42\00:12:54.52
Archbishop Antonio
Mennini as the first ever
00:12:54.55\00:12:57.43
Papal Nuncio to Russia.
The event ushers in a new era
00:12:57.46\00:13:01.69
of full diplomatic relations
between The Holy See and
00:13:01.72\00:13:05.59
The Russian Federation.
Pope Benedict XVI and
00:13:05.62\00:13:09.00
President Dmitry Medvedev
had agreed to establish full
00:13:09.03\00:13:12.82
diplomatic
relations in December of 2009,
00:13:12.85\00:13:16.22
after they met at the Vatican.
"The purpose of this diplomatic
00:13:16.25\00:13:20.18
Cooperation is for the moral
growth of the people of Russia,"
00:13:20.21\00:13:24.01
said Mennini. That
would certainly include
00:13:24.04\00:13:27.16
enforcement of
Sunday worship, eventually.
00:13:27.19\00:13:29.77
In Revelation 13:3,
the Bible says that,
00:13:29.80\00:13:33.38
"All the World wondered after
the beast. All the Nations will
00:13:33.41\00:13:37.12
support and worship
The Papal Religious Power
00:13:37.15\00:13:40.04
That will dominate the
World in the last days. "

I'm Hal Mayor,
reminding you to keep the faith.
00:13:42.69\00:13:46.29
>OK. I'm glad that you stayed
with us and again we get these
00:14:54.62\00:14:59.51
little breaks and we can talk
off camera about things that
00:14:59.54\00:15:02.05
we've been discussing but
we- we want to offer this book
00:15:02.08\00:15:06.10
"A Day To Remember. "
00:15:06.13\00:15:07.47
I wrote this, and you
know what? This doesn't
00:15:07.50\00:15:09.90
even get close to answering
nearly all the questions and
00:15:09.93\00:15:13.00
we can't do it today but
it can get you started. We are
00:15:13.03\00:15:15.90
going to offer it to you
for free and all you have to do
00:15:15.93\00:15:18.50
is- is order it from our
Website, you can call us, you
00:15:18.53\00:15:24.03
know, just get with us and
we'll give- and you know what
00:15:24.06\00:15:25.75
another thing, these
Books, Pastor Mark, are- we made
00:15:25.78\00:15:29.46
these Booklets so that people
could get them out, "Like the
00:15:29.49\00:15:31.65
leaves of
autumn" you know >>Yeah
00:15:31.68\00:15:32.97
>don't- when you get it
and you're happy with this Book
00:15:33.00\00:15:35.34
make sure that >>What we
call that, the convenient pocket
00:15:35.37\00:15:38.74
size, >Yeah >>right. So one way
or another, I have "Oh, here's a
00:15:38.77\00:15:42.30
Booklet >That's right
>>that I have on that subject >
00:15:42.33\00:15:43.75
Absolutely >>thank you for
handing out >and I think we have
00:15:45.48\00:15:48.51
them in packs of 25 so you know,
this is for a free offer. If you
00:15:48.54\00:15:50.20
like it, let's get the Word
out. That's what we're supposed
00:15:50.23\00:15:53.15
to be doing as
Christians >>that's right
00:15:53.18\00:15:54.55
>letting people know and
then of course more importantly
00:15:54.58\00:15:56.86
even more than that is we need
to be living it but now let's
00:15:56.89\00:15:59.58
get back into this deal. I want
to talk about probation. I want
00:15:59.61\00:16:03.85
to talk about the Seventh
Sabbath in a different way
00:16:03.88\00:16:05.86
than most people. It's not
just about keeping a day Holy,
00:16:05.89\00:16:08.77
>>Uhh hmm >that's vitally
important, God sanctified it,
00:16:08.80\00:16:11.64
which we can't do. People say,
"Well, I want to basically give
00:16:11.67\00:16:16.38
every day to God. "Well, we
should- we are supposed to give
00:16:16.41\00:16:18.29
every day to God but the
Bible we can't sanctify a day
00:16:18.32\00:16:20.84
>>No and the Bible also
says, "There are 6 working days"
00:16:20.87\00:16:23.33
>Yes. >>You- so there is >Yeah,
I don't know about you, you can
00:16:23.36\00:16:26.74
keep them all but I gotta
be working that day and we just
00:16:26.77\00:16:29.12
need to be in Christ everyday
but there is a lot into that but
00:16:29.15\00:16:31.98
now, you know, the Lord gave us
the Seventh Day Sabbath for more
00:16:32.01\00:16:36.95
than to just rest because
every people work 7 days a week
00:16:36.98\00:16:39.69
>>That's right. >for years. They
are not dying, sure it helps us
00:16:40.25\00:16:43.48
physically but there is
something that helps, everything
00:16:43.51\00:16:45.66
that Christ has done, he has
done for our- for the plan of
00:16:45.69\00:16:49.43
Salvation >That's right
>and The Seventh Day Sabbath is
00:16:49.46\00:16:51.40
vitally important. I mean it's
big in that. You know what? In
00:16:51.43\00:16:55.52
the Old Testament you tilled
the land for 6 years >>Uhh hmm
00:16:55.55\00:16:59.29
> I mean, think about it, you
tilled and the 7th year, you let
00:16:59.32\00:17:01.93
that land the rest. >>Yeah
00:17:01.96\00:17:03.59
>OK. So Christ created the
Earth in 6 days, that's why
00:17:03.62\00:17:07.06
this evolution stuff is
ridiculous. If you believe in
00:17:07.09\00:17:10.08
Christ, if you're Christian,
there is no way, as a Christian,
00:17:10.11\00:17:13.98
if you believe in the Bible
that you can try to think that
00:17:14.01\00:17:17.34
maybe this was created,
the Earth was millions of years
00:17:17.37\00:17:20.65
first, it's not even physically
possible, it can't be dark you
00:17:20.68\00:17:24.59
know a million years and we
can all stay alive but without
00:17:24.62\00:17:27.91
getting into that, Christ
created the earth in 6 days.
00:17:27.94\00:17:30.55
He rested on the seventh,
for our benefit >>Uhh hmm
00:17:30.58\00:17:33.04
>then he told the people,
till the land for 6 years, let
00:17:33.07\00:17:35.77
it rest the 7th year. Then
He says, "There is going to be
00:17:35.80\00:17:38.84
6 thousand years of sin
and they were going to have a
00:17:38.87\00:17:41.53
thousand years of"
what? >>the millennium >
00:17:41.56\00:17:42.86
"the millennium. " Which people
gets mixed up in this rapture
00:17:43.36\00:17:45.56
thing too >>Yeah >which we'll
talk about some but if you look
00:17:46.08\00:17:48.16
all through the Bible, 6 is
significant, it's a Preparation
00:17:48.19\00:17:52.29
Day and you know, Seventh
Day Adventists know about the
00:17:52.32\00:17:56.40
Preparation Day. I remember
when I was growing up before I
00:17:56.43\00:17:59.75
left the Church and then I came
back but, we would- Deb and I,
00:17:59.78\00:18:03.22
you know Deb normally but it
was funny, I remember watching
00:18:03.25\00:18:06.42
her one time, sundown was going
to be down, one day, it was from
00:18:06.45\00:18:09.37
sundown to sundown, the days,
through the Bible, and so she is
00:18:09.40\00:18:12.88
vacuuming the floor
really fast. she's just whipping
00:18:12.91\00:18:14.53
around like this and you
know she's looking at her watch,
00:18:14.56\00:18:16.65
"Oh man! I've got to work and
work. " She was busy and >>Yes
00:18:16.68\00:18:19.13
>and the next thing you know,
instead of walking over and
00:18:19.16\00:18:20.83
unplugging the plug. She
gives that thing a fling and
00:18:20.86\00:18:24.36
you know it comes bounce-
flying at her and she ducks >>
00:18:24.39\00:18:27.29
Yeah >and then she hurries
up and grabs it, don't even- she
00:18:27.32\00:18:29.52
doesn't even wrap it up,
no time, throws the thing, the
00:18:29.55\00:18:32.41
vacuum sweeper in the closet and
shuts the door and "Huh!" Now
00:18:32.44\00:18:36.86
>>Yeah >is that a real
Preparation Day? >>No. not
00:18:36.89\00:18:40.23
really. >I mean, really that's
not the way it is. Preparation
00:18:40.26\00:18:44.16
Day signifies that we get sin
out of our lives and >> Isn't
00:18:44.19\00:18:48.36
that >we work 6 days >>isn't
that what one Pastor called the
00:18:48.39\00:18:50.36
kind of like the stop light
preparation, you know, where
00:18:50.39\00:18:53.51
you're- you're driving down the
road and you get stopped by the
00:18:53.54\00:18:56.07
light, you've got to be
somewhere and you, "Ahh, oh no!
00:18:56.10\00:18:58.70
I got caught by the light. Oh
come on, come on, come on" and
00:18:58.73\00:19:02.15
you drum your fingers on the
steering wheel >Yeah >>and- and
00:19:02.18\00:19:04.07
instead of enter- entering into
the Sabbath where- it's you're-
00:19:04.10\00:19:06.79
you're glad it came >Yes
00:19:06.82\00:19:07.98
>>you're almost disappointed
it came because you've got so
00:19:08.01\00:19:10.26
much to do and then you can't-
and then when the- you know when
00:19:10.29\00:19:12.88
the Sabbath is over and you
know you come to Saturday and
00:19:12.91\00:19:15.34
the Sun's down and it's like,
"Ahh!" You know, now the light
00:19:15.37\00:19:17.88
turn green and I can go again.
00:19:17.91\00:19:18.91
>I can go again and it's like-
it's a- it's a- it's not, it's a
00:19:18.94\00:19:20.99
>>and unfortunately I know a lot
of Seventh Day Adventists who
00:19:21.31\00:19:23.00
keep Sabbath that way. >Yep.
It's a holiday >>which really
00:19:23.03\00:19:25.03
isn't Sabbath keeping. It's
just Saturday keeping. >Right
00:19:25.06\00:19:27.75
and- and- and I say a holi-
a holiday instead of a Holy Day
00:19:27.78\00:19:31.79
>>Yeah >and so, here is
this Preparation Day that we're
00:19:32.00\00:19:35.11
supposed to have worked 6 days
and that 6 days that God has-
00:19:35.14\00:19:39.37
represents as your working. You
worked those 6 days, >>Uhh hmm
00:19:39.40\00:19:44.27
>you've have- you'd tilled
the land for 6 years. >>Yeah
00:19:44.30\00:19:46.75
>In fact I used to wonder
where was this 6 hundred years?
00:19:46.78\00:19:49.59
You've got, God created
the Heavens and the Earth in 6
00:19:49.62\00:19:52.37
days, he's rested
on the seventh>>Yes
00:19:52.40\00:19:53.37
>You've got, God
says, "Till the ground >>Yes
00:19:53.52\00:19:56.35
>for 6 years and
let it rest 1 year >>Yes
00:19:57.01\00:19:59.00
>then you have got 6 thousand
years of sin, there's a work on
00:19:59.56\00:20:04.63
this Earth, then there is a
thousand years in Heaven >>Yes
00:20:04.66\00:20:07.77
>won't get into that but it's
a rest. Where did this 6 hundred
00:20:07.80\00:20:10.17
years go? Do you know that
Adam was around 622 years old
00:20:10.20\00:20:14.70
when Anik was born?
And Anik was a first fruit.
00:20:14.73\00:20:17.82
Anik walked with God and
went to Heaven. In other words,
00:20:17.85\00:20:20.50
there was a rest at the
end of that 600 years. It's all
00:20:20.53\00:20:23.03
through the Scriptures of the
6 days that God is telling us
00:20:23.06\00:20:28.20
you've got time to get your
heart right with me. "Pickup
00:20:28.23\00:20:31.64
your cross and follow me"
and so when we go to Preparation
00:20:31.67\00:20:34.84
Day we should realize that
not only should we be ready
00:20:34.87\00:20:37.40
to rest, in other words, we
shouldn't be able- we shouldn't
00:20:37.43\00:20:41.07
be going up to that stop light
and squealing our tires because
00:20:41.10\00:20:44.45
we know we can't make
the yellow light >> Yeah
00:20:44.48\00:20:45.87
>and we stop. Christ is
trying to get to us. Listen.
00:20:46.66\00:20:49.69
It- the ones that are going
to go to Heaven, are not just
00:20:49.72\00:20:52.51
good people. The ones
that are going to Heaven
00:20:52.54\00:20:54.82
are resting in me. In other
words, they've surrendered all
00:20:55.31\00:20:58.55
they have to me. There is
nothing between my Savior and
00:20:58.58\00:21:02.01
me >>Hmm >and that 6 days that
God created the Heavens and the
00:21:02.04\00:21:05.17
Earth represents that, the- the
Preparation Day. I mean, we're
00:21:05.20\00:21:08.18
we shouldn't even have, I
mean, Pastor Mark, if I have
00:21:08.21\00:21:11.36
something against you and
it's Friday the Preparation Day,
00:21:11.39\00:21:15.29
should I let that sun set before
I make that right with you?
00:21:15.32\00:21:20.10
>>No. Not at all
>and why would that be?
00:21:20.13\00:21:22.02
What significance is
that about The Seventh Day?
00:21:22.05\00:21:24.84
What- what is this all telling
us? It's steeper than just
00:21:24.87\00:21:27.73
having a holiday here.
00:21:27.76\00:21:29.25
>>Yeah. The whole idea is- well
it seems to be, and this whole
00:21:29.28\00:21:32.58
discussion is that we- we
are missing the substance >Yeah
00:21:32.61\00:21:35.81
>>of the Sabbath and the
substance of the Sabbath is
00:21:35.84\00:21:39.42
Christ. >Yes >>In other words,
that was time that he- Christ
00:21:39.45\00:21:43.22
was the one who created.
The Bible makes it clear. "All
00:21:43.25\00:21:44.54
things >Yes >> were made by him,
without him was nothing made
00:21:44.57\00:21:46.46
that was made. "He was the
one who created in 6 days and
00:21:46.49\00:21:49.33
then on the seventh
day rested. >That's right
00:21:49.36\00:21:50.73
>>and he set aside a day to
spend with his people and so
00:21:50.76\00:21:55.64
it- it, I mean, you know, you
take a year- when we- we, back
00:21:55.67\00:21:57.95
when you were dating >Yes >>you
had a day coming up and you're
00:21:57.98\00:22:00.42
going to spend with your
you know, your lovely Wife, back
00:22:00.45\00:22:02.84
then you're- you're girlfriend
>Yes >>you know she's coming
00:22:02.87\00:22:05.02
Over. Well, you
don't want to be busy >No
00:22:05.05\00:22:07.64
>>with everything else you've
got going on. You're going to
00:22:07.67\00:22:09.82
make sure that you've got
all your work done. She is
00:22:09.85\00:22:11.71
>She gets my
undivided attention.
00:22:11.74\00:22:12.79
>>Exactly and- and when- and
when you have that focus >Yes
00:22:12.82\00:22:17.58
>>that she's coming over then
all the work that you have to
00:22:17.61\00:22:20.34
get done isn't a burden and
neither is the time you've got
00:22:20.37\00:22:22.87
to take off, you are not like,
"Ahh. Man you know I was helping
00:22:22.90\00:22:25.45
mowing the lawn. I had to stop
and I go sit down with her for
00:22:25.48\00:22:27.90
a while. " >Yes. Got to take
a shower and clean up >>Yeah
00:22:27.93\00:22:30.12
>Oh what a bomber >>It was a
pleasure to be with her >That's
00:22:30.76\00:22:32.38
right, that's right and see
what's happening I think for a
00:22:33.21\00:22:34.45
lot of people is they've lost
the significance of the Mary and
00:22:34.48\00:22:37.26
Martha story. Mary was
00:22:37.29\00:22:39.14
with Jesus, that's what the
Sabbath is about. Coming and
00:22:39.17\00:22:42.24
spending that time with Jesus.
Undivided time and if we have
00:22:42.27\00:22:46.20
that focal point we- we won't
have to be told to prepare.
00:22:46.23\00:22:50.14
>That's right. >We'll want
to prepare because when that day
00:22:50.17\00:22:53.04
comes, That's his day. That's
the time I'm spending with him.
00:22:53.07\00:22:55.99
>I- I- I can share from my own
experience and to the Viewers
00:22:56.02\00:23:00.28
that are watching
right now that when I started
00:23:00.31\00:23:02.80
understanding the significance
of The Seventh Day Sabbath
00:23:02.83\00:23:05.30
and- and I hear people arguing
all the time over the day
00:23:05.33\00:23:09.42
which is vitally important
but we are still on milk and I
00:23:09.45\00:23:15.32
started realizing that
Jesus wants me to rest in him
00:23:15.35\00:23:19.11
and he is created the day
to allow us to realize that the
00:23:19.14\00:23:23.77
Sabbath is a- a culmination,
it's the- it's the prize. It's
00:23:23.80\00:23:29.02
the end result of resting,
working and work- the working
00:23:29.05\00:23:33.07
part, I mean, look at the
Children of Israel came out of
00:23:33.10\00:23:35.58
Egypt and they had that
sanctification process. We know
00:23:35.61\00:23:39.53
that there is sanctification.
You cannot- you cannot be
00:23:39.56\00:23:43.29
justified without a second part
which- which is sanctification
00:23:43.32\00:23:47.30
Uhh hmm >which means that
once Jesus justifies us, just as
00:23:47.33\00:23:50.88
though we have never sinned.
There is that sanctification
00:23:50.91\00:23:53.50
process which means that, day
after day, I say, "Lord not my
00:23:53.53\00:23:58.10
will but your will be done" like
Paul said, "I die daily" >>Uhh
00:23:58.13\00:24:00.39
hmm >and he lets that go, I-
I mean, not let it go but he- he
00:24:00.42\00:24:05.19
let's his own self go and
he get draws closer and closer
00:24:05.22\00:24:08.08
which is the work. It's a daily
process >> Uhh hmm >and then on
00:24:08.11\00:24:12.26
Friday which represents the
close of probation. Probation is
00:24:12.29\00:24:16.71
going to come it says, in
Revelation, suddenly without
00:24:16.74\00:24:19.38
warning. It says, "The righteous
will get righteous still, the
00:24:19.41\00:24:22.54
wicked, wicked still" and if you
and I are not preparing every
00:24:22.57\00:24:25.45
single day if we just go through
our- our work week and we work
00:24:25.48\00:24:29.45
and we get upset, we get angry
and we have no time and we- we
00:24:29.48\00:24:33.61
come to that stop light Sabbath
that, "Oh we've gotta have the
00:24:33.64\00:24:36.30
Sabbath >>xxx xxx >we- we
are never going to have the
00:24:36.67\00:24:38.84
rest in Christ. >>No. We carry
all those burdens right into
00:24:38.87\00:24:41.79
the Sabbath.
>Right in the Sabbath.
00:24:41.82\00:24:42.97
>>It is interesting, in the Book
of Isaiah, 58, this is what it
00:24:43.00\00:24:45.92
says in- this is page 850
in the Study Bible >Isaiah 58
00:24:45.95\00:24:49.63
>>Isaiah 58, verse 13, it says,
00:24:49.66\00:24:51.47
notice the
'if,' it's a condition
00:24:52.16\00:24:53.59
the imagery is "You're
trampling my Sabbath" >Yes
00:24:56.44\00:24:58.19
In other words, don't
divide your attention >>Right
00:25:09.54\00:25:11.19
give me your attention,
then you shall delight yourself
00:25:11.22\00:25:14.77
in the Lord >Amen >>You know,
we'll- we delight ourselves,
00:25:14.80\00:25:17.98
we're not going to find the
delight in the Sabbath until we
00:25:18.01\00:25:21.12
turn away from doing our
pleasure and dividing our
00:25:21.15\00:25:23.04
attention and we give God all of
our attention on His Holy Day.
00:25:23.07\00:25:25.68
>And- now, and- and- I-
such a burden for you- you that
00:25:25.71\00:25:32.67
are watching right now because
I know, I wish, sometimes I
00:25:32.70\00:25:35.35
say I wish I could speak in the
Heavenly Canaan Language >>Yes
00:25:35.38\00:25:37.71
but I- I can't, but I pray
that- I know the Holy Spirit can
00:25:38.73\00:25:40.90
work upon your hearts.
Probation is going to close
00:25:40.93\00:25:45.18
Jesus is coming very soon
00:25:45.21\00:25:47.55
and we are arguing sometimes
over things that in and of
00:25:47.58\00:25:54.09
themselves are important but our
heart is still not right with
00:25:54.12\00:25:56.33
Jesus Christ >>That's right
00:25:56.36\00:25:57.90
>and my plea to you today
is, are you right with Christ?
00:25:57.93\00:25:59.94
Are you- are you learning,
in the 6 days that God gave you
00:25:59.97\00:26:03.53
to work, a Preparation Day that
represents the probation will
00:26:03.56\00:26:07.69
close and that everything
needs to be out of our life that
00:26:07.72\00:26:10.87
keeps us connected. You know,
Moses looked to the left, he
00:26:10.90\00:26:14.53
look to the right and then
he slayed the Egyptian. He never
00:26:14.56\00:26:17.56
kept his eyes on Jesus Christ.
Our thing is, we're so busy
00:26:17.59\00:26:20.87
reading the left and right,
we might be keeping a day Holy.
00:26:20.90\00:26:23.36
I don't care if it's Sunday
or Saturday, the point of just
00:26:23.39\00:26:26.19
trying to keep a day
holy but it becomes a holiday.
00:26:26.22\00:26:28.50
Jesus gave us the right day
to worship because probation is
00:26:28.53\00:26:32.89
going to close on time, it's not
going to say, "Well, probation
00:26:32.92\00:26:34.71
just might close any
old time. " >>That's right
00:26:34.74\00:26:37.11
>Probation's gonna close
on time. The Sabbath rest
00:26:37.14\00:26:39.48
is for you and I to always
remember that he's with us,
00:26:39.51\00:26:44.72
every single day. He wants
you and me and Pastor Mark to be
00:26:44.75\00:26:49.89
in the heavenly Kingdom.
He wants everything to be out
00:26:49.92\00:26:52.92
of us that can be- he wants self
to truly be his in Jesus Christ
00:26:52.95\00:26:55.90
and that's my
plea for you today is,
00:26:55.93\00:26:58.60
learn about The
Seventh Day Sabbath.
00:26:58.63\00:27:01.19
Learn about the Preparation Day.
00:27:01.22\00:27:03.29
and parallel that
with your own life.
00:27:03.32\00:27:05.53
Do you have nothing
between you and your Savior?
00:27:05.56\00:27:10.62
That's- that's the
story about remember.
00:27:10.65\00:27:14.94
It's more than just a day.
00:27:14.97\00:27:17.33
It's about The Whole Day.
00:27:17.36\00:27:19.64
The rest in Jesus Christ
00:27:19.67\00:27:21.07
and I want you,
to not to put it off
00:27:21.10\00:27:23.95
because if you don't, you
will have a better way of life.
00:27:23.98\00:27:26.85
One day, you and I and
the Pastor and our Spouses and
00:27:26.88\00:27:30.88
the Children can stand
on that "Sea of Glass. "
00:27:30.91\00:27:32.97
I encourage you and I implore
you, let's be there together
00:27:33.00\00:27:37.05
Don't put it off.
00:27:37.08\00:27:39.39
By working together,
1.7 million copies of
00:27:39.42\00:27:42.67
"The Passion of Love"
were distributed around
00:27:42.70\00:27:44.79
the Country
resulting in an unprecedented
00:27:44.82\00:27:47.22
Partnership with
Wal-Mart, that led to over
00:27:47.25\00:27:50.03
a thousand Bible Studies.
00:27:50.06\00:27:51.64
By working together
over 6 million copies of
00:27:51.67\00:27:55.55
"The Ten
Commandments, Twice Removed"
00:27:55.58\00:27:57.25
were shared around the
World, resulting in more than
00:27:57.28\00:28:00.38
20 Churches now keeping
00:28:00.41\00:28:01.71
The Bible Sabbath.
00:28:01.74\00:28:02.86
By working
together, we have shipped
00:28:03.39\00:28:05.74
almost a million Bibles to
spiritually thirsty Christians
00:28:05.77\00:28:08.94
in Africa, touching the lives of
00:28:08.97\00:28:11.04
20 million people, for Christ.
00:28:11.07\00:28:12.90
Working together, is what allows
00:28:13.36\00:28:16.16
Remnant Publications
to spread truth-filled
00:28:16.19\00:28:18.83
Books around the World,
to hasten the Lord's coming.
00:28:18.86\00:28:22.17
Will you join
us in that mission?
00:28:22.20\00:28:24.64
Will you help us
reach the World for Jesus?
00:28:24.67\00:28:27.63
One Book at a time.
00:28:27.66\00:28:29.82
