(Theme Song) Jesus is
worthy oh yes, he's worthy
00:00:06.10\00:00:15.06
worthy of all . . .
00:00:15.06\00:00:21.70
Genesis 1, verse 1,
the Word of God says,
00:00:21.70\00:00:25.83
"In the
beginning, God created the
00:00:25.83\00:00:30.06
heavens and the earth.
00:00:30.06\00:00:31.63
And the earth was
without form and void;
00:00:31.63\00:00:33.00
and darkness was on
the face of the deep.
00:00:33.00\00:00:34.36
And the Spirit of God moved
upon the face of the waters.
00:00:34.36\00:00:37.26
And God said, Let there be
light, and there was light."
00:00:37.26\00:00:41.53
Now, let's begin
in understanding.
00:00:41.53\00:00:42.93
There are how
many days in a week?
00:00:42.93\00:00:45.10
There are seven days in a week.
00:00:45.10\00:00:49.56
And what we're reading
here from the Word of God,
00:00:49.56\00:00:52.03
Genesis chapter
1, is the first week
00:00:52.03\00:00:55.20
as recorded from God's Word.
00:00:55.20\00:00:56.20
"In the beginning,
God created the heaven
00:00:56.20\00:01:00.36
and the earth.
00:01:00.36\00:01:01.76
And the earth was
without form and void;
00:01:01.76\00:01:03.76
and darkness was on
the face of the deep.
00:01:03.76\00:01:04.96
And the Spirit of
God moved upon the face
00:01:04.96\00:01:07.33
of the waters."
00:01:07.33\00:01:08.76
Verse 3, "And God
said, Let there be light,
00:01:08.76\00:01:10.66
and there was light."
00:01:10.66\00:01:12.53
Verse 4, "And God saw
the light, that it was good;
00:01:12.53\00:01:14.40
and God divided the
light from the darkness.
00:01:14.40\00:01:16.10
God called the light
Day, and the darkness
00:01:16.10\00:01:18.63
He called Night.
00:01:18.63\00:01:19.73
So the evening and the
morning were the first day."
00:01:19.73\00:01:21.96
How many days
are there in a week?
00:01:21.96\00:01:23.43
On day one, God created light.
00:01:23.43\00:01:25.83
Let's read on.
00:01:25.83\00:01:27.16
Verse 6, "And God said,
Let there be a firmament
00:01:27.16\00:01:30.40
in the midst of the waters,
and let it divide the waters
00:01:30.40\00:01:33.36
from the waters." Verse 7.
00:01:33.36\00:01:35.96
"Thus God made the firmament,
and divided the waters which
00:01:35.96\00:01:39.86
were under the firmament
from the waters which were above
00:01:39.86\00:01:43.06
the firmament; and it was so."
00:01:43.06\00:01:44.70
Verse 8: "And God
called the firmament Heaven.
00:01:44.70\00:01:48.86
So the evening and the morning
were the second day." On day
00:01:48.86\00:01:52.36
two, God created the firmament.
00:01:52.36\00:01:53.90
Day one, God created
what, everybody? Light.
00:01:53.90\00:01:57.73
How many days in the week
have we done thus far? Two.
00:01:57.73\00:02:00.46
How many days
are there in a week?
00:02:00.46\00:02:02.00
Seven minus five is what?
00:02:02.00\00:02:03.56
Let's go to verse 9.
00:02:03.56\00:02:05.73
The Word says, "And God
said, Let the waters under the
00:02:05.73\00:02:09.16
heavens be gathered together
into one place, and let the
00:02:09.16\00:02:12.13
dry land appear; and it was so.
00:02:12.13\00:02:15.23
And God called the dry
land Earth, and the gathering
00:02:15.23\00:02:18.23
together of the
waters He called Seas.
00:02:18.23\00:02:22.16
And God saw that it was good."
00:02:22.16\00:02:23.76
Verse 11: "And God
said, Let the earth
00:02:23.76\00:02:25.50
bring forth grass, the
herb that yields seed, and
00:02:25.50\00:02:27.76
the fruit tree that yields
fruit according to its kind,
00:02:27.76\00:02:29.43
whose seed is in itself,
on the earth; and it was so.
00:02:29.43\00:02:33.86
Verse 12: "And the earth
brought forth grass, the herb
00:02:33.86\00:02:36.13
that yields seed according
to its kind, and the tree that
00:02:36.13\00:02:38.16
yields fruit, whose seed is
in itself according to its kind.
00:02:38.16\00:02:40.03
And God saw that it was good.
00:02:40.03\00:02:42.76
And the evening and the
morning were the third day."
00:02:42.76\00:02:45.86
So on day three,
God created vegetation.
00:02:45.86\00:02:49.10
Day two he created what?
00:02:49.10\00:02:50.96
Firmament.
00:02:50.96\00:02:51.93
Day one he created what?
00:02:51.93\00:02:53.43
All right, let's go to Verse 14.
00:02:53.43\00:02:54.96
"And God said, Let there be
lights in the firmament of the
00:02:54.96\00:02:58.00
heaven to divide the day from
the night; and let them be for
00:02:58.00\00:02:59.93
signs, and for seasons, and
for days, and years: And let
00:02:59.93\00:03:02.33
them be for lights in the
firmament of the heaven to
00:03:02.33\00:03:05.43
give light upon the
earth: and it was so.
00:03:05.43\00:03:07.50
And God made two great lights;
the greater light to rule the
00:03:07.50\00:03:11.23
day, and the lesser
light to rule the night:
00:03:11.23\00:03:14.30
he made the stars also.
00:03:14.30\00:03:15.20
And God set them in the
firmament of the heaven to
00:03:15.20\00:03:17.63
give light upon the earth, and
to rule over the day and over
00:03:17.63\00:03:19.23
the night, and to divide
the light from the darkness: and
00:03:19.23\00:03:20.83
God saw that it was good.
00:03:20.83\00:03:21.80
And the evening and the
morning were the fourth day."
00:03:21.80\00:03:26.46
I sound like an auctioneer.
00:03:26.46\00:03:28.73
And the evening and the
morning were the fourth day.
00:03:28.73\00:03:32.86
All right.
00:03:32.86\00:03:33.93
How many days in a week?
00:03:33.93\00:03:35.20
Talk to me now.
00:03:35.20\00:03:37.06
We've got to teach
it then we preach it.
00:03:37.06\00:03:38.36
How many days in the week?
00:03:38.36\00:03:39.70
Seven.
00:03:39.70\00:03:40.50
On day four, God created
the sun, the moon and the stars.
00:03:40.50\00:03:42.86
On day three he created what?
00:03:42.86\00:03:43.83
Vegetation.
00:03:43.83\00:03:48.66
Day two he created what?
00:03:48.66\00:03:51.86
Day one he created what?
00:03:51.86\00:03:53.20
How many days in the week?
00:03:53.20\00:03:54.26
How many says
have we done thus far?
00:03:54.26\00:03:56.66
Seven minus four is?
00:03:56.66\00:03:57.60
Three.
00:03:57.60\00:04:02.33
Day one, light.
00:04:02.33\00:04:04.03
Day two, the firmament.
00:04:04.03\00:04:06.90
Day three, vegetation.
00:04:06.90\00:04:10.23
Day four, the sun,
the moon and the what?
00:04:10.23\00:04:14.03
Go to verse 20.
00:04:14.03\00:04:15.16
And God said, Let the waters
bring forth abundantly the
00:04:15.16\00:04:17.76
moving creature that hath
life, and fowl that may fly
00:04:17.76\00:04:20.80
above the earth in the
open firmament of heaven.
00:04:20.80\00:04:23.10
And God created great whales,
and every living creature that
00:04:23.10\00:04:26.90
moveth, which the waters
brought forth abundantly,
00:04:26.90\00:04:28.63
after their kind, and every
winged fowl after his kind:
00:04:28.63\00:04:30.16
and God saw that it was good.
00:04:30.16\00:04:32.83
And God blessed them, saying,
Be fruitful, and multiply, and
00:04:32.83\00:04:38.36
fill the waters in the
seas, and let fowl multiply
00:04:38.36\00:04:40.26
in the earth.
00:04:40.26\00:04:41.03
And the evening and the
morning were the fifth day."
00:04:41.03\00:04:45.16
The evening and the
morning were the what day?
00:04:45.16\00:04:46.36
Fifth day.
00:04:46.36\00:04:47.00
Now, let's be clear.
00:04:47.00\00:04:48.23
On day five, God
created fish and fowl.
00:04:48.23\00:04:50.33
Fish and birds.
00:04:50.33\00:04:52.60
Fish and fowl.
00:04:52.60\00:04:53.46
Are you hearing what I'm saying?
00:04:53.46\00:04:55.40
Are we together, everybody?
00:04:55.40\00:04:57.63
How many days in the week?
00:04:57.63\00:04:58.86
How many days
have we done this far?
00:04:58.86\00:05:01.70
And you notice after each day
the Bible defines a day as the
00:05:01.70\00:05:05.96
evening and the what?
00:05:05.96\00:05:08.13
So then that suggests to
me that a day biblically is
00:05:08.13\00:05:10.93
defined as evening
and the what? Morning.
00:05:10.93\00:05:14.50
Are you hearing what
I'm saying, everybody?
00:05:14.50\00:05:16.03
How many days in a week?
00:05:16.03\00:05:17.36
Seven days in the week.
00:05:17.36\00:05:19.86
How many days
have we done thus far?
00:05:19.86\00:05:21.90
How many days left?
00:05:21.90\00:05:23.10
Day five, God created what?
00:05:23.10\00:05:24.36
Day three God created what?
00:05:24.36\00:05:26.73
No, he didn't create the sun,
moon and stars on day three.
00:05:26.73\00:05:35.26
Let's try it again.
00:05:35.26\00:05:37.50
All right, day
five, God created what?
00:05:37.50\00:05:40.93
Day four, God created.
00:05:40.93\00:05:42.36
Day three God created what?
00:05:42.36\00:05:46.53
Day two God created what?
00:05:46.53\00:05:48.96
Day one God created what?
00:05:48.96\00:05:51.36
Day one God created what?
00:05:51.36\00:05:52.80
Day two God created.
00:05:52.80\00:05:55.03
Day three God created.
00:05:55.03\00:05:56.06
Day five, God created.
00:05:56.06\00:05:57.63
Day four God created what?
00:05:57.63\00:06:02.70
If you don't do anything else,
when you leave church today
00:06:02.70\00:06:06.53
you're going to know what God
created and when he created it.
00:06:06.53\00:06:08.23
Come on, say Amen.
00:06:08.23\00:06:10.10
Amen.
00:06:10.10\00:06:11.36
All right, let's read some more.
00:06:11.36\00:06:13.16
Verse 24, "And God said,
Let the earth bring forth the
00:06:13.16\00:06:16.26
living creature after his
kind, cattle, and creeping
00:06:16.26\00:06:18.36
thing, and beast of the earth
after his kind: and it was so.
00:06:18.36\00:06:22.93
And God made the beast of
the earth after his kind, and
00:06:22.93\00:06:26.96
cattle after their kind, and
every thing that creepeth upon
00:06:26.96\00:06:28.96
the earth after his kind:
and God saw that it was good."
00:06:28.96\00:06:32.53
Then verse 26: And God said,
Let us"--let whom, everybody?
00:06:32.53\00:06:37.03
Us, make man.
00:06:37.03\00:06:37.80
We recognize when we see that
"us," God does not say, Let me
00:06:37.80\00:06:40.76
make man.
00:06:40.76\00:06:43.13
God says, "Let us make man."
00:06:43.13\00:06:44.36
Pointing to the fact that
trinity, the Father, the Son,
00:06:44.36\00:06:47.10
and the Holy Spirit, "let
us make man in our image, after
00:06:47.10\00:06:51.70
our likeness: and let them
have dominion over the fish of
00:06:51.70\00:06:53.80
the sea, and over the fowl
of the air, and over the cattle,
00:06:53.80\00:06:55.93
and over all the earth, and
over every creeping thing that
00:06:55.93\00:06:57.96
creepeth upon the earth.
00:06:57.96\00:06:58.56
So God created man in his
own image, in the image of God
00:06:58.56\00:07:05.43
created he him; male and" what?
00:07:05.43\00:07:08.06
Male and what?
00:07:08.06\00:07:09.46
Adam and Eve,
not Adam and Steve.
00:07:09.46\00:07:17.43
"created he them.
00:07:17.43\00:07:18.30
And God blessed them, and
God said unto them, Be fruitful,
00:07:18.30\00:07:21.13
and multiply, and replenish
the earth, and subdue it: and
00:07:21.13\00:07:24.40
have dominion over the fish
of the sea, and over the fowl of
00:07:24.40\00:07:26.86
the air, and over every living
thing that moveth upon the
00:07:26.86\00:07:29.80
earth." Verse 29: "And God
said, Behold, I have given you
00:07:29.80\00:07:31.90
every herb bearing seed, which
is upon the face of all the
00:07:31.90\00:07:35.30
earth, and every tree, in
the which is the fruit of a tree
00:07:35.30\00:07:38.30
yielding seed; to
you it shall be for meat.
00:07:38.30\00:07:40.56
And to every beast of the
earth, and to every fowl of
00:07:40.56\00:07:42.26
the air, and to every thing
that creepeth upon the earth,
00:07:42.26\00:07:43.66
wherein there is life, I
have given every green herb for
00:07:43.66\00:07:46.03
meat: and it was so.
00:07:46.03\00:07:46.83
And God saw every thing that
he had made, and, behold, it
00:07:46.83\00:07:50.36
was very good.
00:07:50.36\00:07:52.10
And the evening and the
morning were the sixth day."
00:07:52.10\00:07:54.30
On day six God
made mammal and man.
00:07:54.30\00:07:57.43
Day six, God created
mammal and whom, everybody?
00:07:57.43\00:08:01.23
All right, so day one,
God created what? Light.
00:08:01.23\00:08:03.63
Day two he
created the firmament.
00:08:03.63\00:08:05.56
Day three he created vegetation.
00:08:05.56\00:08:07.50
Day four he created the
sun, the moon and the stars.
00:08:07.50\00:08:09.63
Day five he
created fish and what?
00:08:09.63\00:08:12.06
Day six he
created mammal and what?
00:08:12.06\00:08:14.23
Now, how many days
are there in a week?
00:08:14.23\00:08:17.00
Come on, how many
days are there in a week?
00:08:17.00\00:08:18.63
How many days have
we done thus far? Six.
00:08:18.63\00:08:20.43
How many days do we have left?
00:08:20.43\00:08:21.56
One.
00:08:21.56\00:08:22.53
We're very clear, we're
mathematicians, we understand
00:08:22.53\00:08:24.56
very clearly that
there are seven days
00:08:24.56\00:08:26.73
in a week.
00:08:26.73\00:08:27.36
On six days God created
different things on each day,
00:08:27.36\00:08:31.10
a day being defined as
the evening and the morning.
00:08:31.10\00:08:34.86
Seven minus six is what?
00:08:34.86\00:08:36.43
One.
00:08:36.43\00:08:37.30
Which means we
have how many days left?
00:08:37.30\00:08:39.06
One day left to
make up what transpired
00:08:39.06\00:08:42.96
during creation week.
00:08:42.96\00:08:46.43
Go to Genesis 2. Verse 1.
00:08:46.43\00:08:50.90
The Word of God
says, "Thus the heavens and
00:08:50.90\00:08:55.70
the earth were finished,
and all the host of them.
00:08:55.70\00:09:01.73
And on the seventh day God
ended his work which he had
00:09:01.73\00:09:04.50
made." you need a break.
00:09:04.50\00:09:07.16
"And he rested on the seventh
day from all his work which he
00:09:07.16\00:09:15.83
had made." Verse 3: "And God
blessed the seventh day." And
00:09:15.83\00:09:20.73
what else did he
do to the seventh day?
00:09:20.73\00:09:22.23
He what?
00:09:22.23\00:09:23.40
"Sanctified it: because that
in it he had rested from all
00:09:23.40\00:09:26.03
his work which God created
and made." Now, that's some good
00:09:26.03\00:09:31.53
stuff right there.
00:09:31.53\00:09:32.50
How many days
are there in a week?
00:09:32.50\00:09:34.53
Seven.
00:09:34.53\00:09:35.23
On day one God created what?
00:09:35.23\00:09:36.30
Light.
00:09:36.30\00:09:37.36
On day two, God
created the what?
00:09:37.36\00:09:40.33
On day three God
created what, everybody?
00:09:40.33\00:09:42.36
On day four he created the
sun, the moon and the what?
00:09:42.36\00:09:44.46
On day five he
created fish and what?
00:09:44.46\00:09:46.73
On day six he
created mammal and what?
00:09:46.73\00:09:49.26
Man.
00:09:49.26\00:09:50.10
There are seven days to a
week, which means there is one
00:09:50.10\00:09:52.73
day left.
00:09:52.73\00:09:53.33
And you need a break.
00:09:53.33\00:09:56.56
God knew you needed a break.
00:09:56.56\00:10:00.03
So God, because he's all
that and then some and a bag of
00:10:00.03\00:10:03.80
chips, God is omnipotent,
God is omniscient, God is
00:10:03.80\00:10:07.00
omnipresent, God is sovereign,
God can do what he wants when
00:10:07.00\00:10:10.66
he wants where he wants, and
he doesn't have to ask you and
00:10:10.66\00:10:13.63
me what and how to do it.
00:10:13.63\00:10:15.66
God decided that on day seven,
according to Genesis 2:1, that
00:10:15.66\00:10:20.43
God had finished his work.
00:10:20.43\00:10:22.53
And so God says, "I finished
my work, so on the seventh day
00:10:22.53\00:10:28.26
I'm gonna rest.
00:10:28.26\00:10:30.96
But not only am I gonna
rest on the seventh day, but I'm
00:10:30.96\00:10:34.20
gonna bless the seventh day.
00:10:34.20\00:10:37.26
Not only am I going to bless
the seventh day, but God says,
00:10:37.26\00:10:41.03
I'm going to
sanctify the seventh day.
00:10:41.03\00:10:44.83
Which means God is saying, not
only am I just sanctifying it,
00:10:44.83\00:10:47.53
but in essence I am
setting that day apart.
00:10:47.53\00:10:51.40
That day is
different from all of the rest.
00:10:51.40\00:10:54.36
I'm going to rest on this day,
I'm gonna bless this day, but
00:10:54.36\00:10:58.10
I'm also gonna
sanctify or set apart this day.
00:10:58.10\00:11:03.16
There are seven days in
the week, the Bible is clear.
00:11:03.16\00:11:05.46
We're a Bible-believing people.
00:11:05.46\00:11:07.13
The Bible has clearly said,
not Pastor Byrd, but the Bible
00:11:07.13\00:11:09.60
has clearly said that
God created this earth in six
00:11:09.60\00:11:14.46
literal days.
00:11:14.46\00:11:15.93
But on the seventh day
God rested from his work, God
00:11:15.93\00:11:20.10
blessed the seventh day,
and then God sanctified the
00:11:20.10\00:11:23.90
seventh day.
00:11:23.90\00:11:25.20
Well, let's get some more Word
in us, because we often say,
00:11:25.20\00:11:27.46
If it's not in the Word, it
doesn't deserves to be heard.
00:11:27.46\00:11:29.40
But If it's in the Word, it
does deserve to be heard, and
00:11:29.40\00:11:31.36
because God said
it, that settles it.
00:11:31.36\00:11:34.63
So we've been in Genesis.
00:11:34.63\00:11:35.53
Let's go now to
the book of Exodus.
00:11:35.53\00:11:37.43
What book, everybody?
00:11:37.43\00:11:38.50
And let's work our way up, all
the way through Revelation, on
00:11:38.50\00:11:42.56
this topic of "you need a
break." Genesis has told us
00:11:42.56\00:11:47.00
what transpired in week one
of earth's history, and we now
00:11:47.00\00:11:51.06
must discover,
what does Exodus say.
00:11:51.06\00:11:54.03
Exodus, chapter 20.
00:11:54.03\00:11:55.66
Now, remember, the Bible
in Exodus 20, verses 3 through
00:11:55.66\00:12:03.83
17, deals with the Law of
God or the Ten Commandments.
00:12:03.83\00:12:08.23
Are you hearing what
I'm saying, everybody?
00:12:08.23\00:12:09.60
Exodus 20:3-17 deals
with God's Law, his Ten
00:12:09.60\00:12:17.50
Commandments law.
00:12:17.50\00:12:18.86
Now, if you look at the
commandments very carefully,
00:12:18.86\00:12:21.93
commandments 1, 2, 3 and 4
deal with our love for God.
00:12:21.93\00:12:28.43
Commandments 5, 6, 7, 8,
9 and 10 deal with our love
00:12:28.43\00:12:34.93
for each other.
00:12:34.93\00:12:35.83
So when we talk about, you
should love the Lord with all
00:12:35.83\00:12:39.33
your heart, mind, body, soul
and spirit, and then love your
00:12:39.33\00:12:41.76
neighbor as yourself, you need
to understand that those are
00:12:41.76\00:12:45.46
just affirmations to the
fact that Commandments 1-4 deal
00:12:45.46\00:12:51.30
with our love for God, and
Commandments 5-10 deal with
00:12:51.30\00:12:54.60
our love for our fellow man.
00:12:54.60\00:12:55.60
Go with me to Commandment
4, beginning at verse 8.
00:12:55.60\00:13:00.86
The Word of God says what?
00:13:00.86\00:13:04.60
Come on, say it
like you mean it.
00:13:04.60\00:13:06.96
The Word of God says what?
00:13:06.96\00:13:07.70
"Remember the sabbath day,
to keep it holy." All right, it
00:13:07.70\00:13:11.63
says, "Remember the sabbath
day, to keep it holy." Now, if
00:13:11.63\00:13:15.53
we stop right there and
analyze all of the different
00:13:15.53\00:13:18.40
commandments, verses 3-17,
we will notice all of the other
00:13:18.40\00:13:22.56
commandments begin with
the words "Thou shalt not." But
00:13:22.56\00:13:26.93
when we look at Commandment
4, we discover that it begins
00:13:26.93\00:13:31.20
with the word "Remember."
00:13:31.20\00:13:33.26
Which suggests to me that
God knew somebody was going to
00:13:33.26\00:13:36.63
forget.
00:13:36.63\00:13:39.16
It also suggests to me
that God knew, because he's
00:13:39.16\00:13:42.90
all-knowing, God knew that
somebody was going to try to
00:13:42.90\00:13:46.03
change his law.
00:13:46.03\00:13:48.00
So instead of saying,
"Thou shalt keep the sabbath day
00:13:48.00\00:13:51.16
holy," God says, "Remember the
sabbath day, to keep it holy."
00:13:51.16\00:13:57.40
Going on, verse 9: "Six days
shalt thou labor, and do all
00:13:57.40\00:14:01.03
thy work: But the seventh day
is the sabbath of the LORD thy
00:14:01.03\00:14:06.46
God: in it thou shalt not
do any work, thou, nor thy son,
00:14:06.46\00:14:08.73
nor thy daughter,
thy manservant, nor thy
00:14:08.73\00:14:10.43
maidservant, nor thy
cattle, nor thy stranger that is
00:14:10.43\00:14:12.26
within thy gates: For in six
days the LORD made heaven and
00:14:12.26\00:14:16.60
earth, the sea, and all that
in them is." And then he did
00:14:16.60\00:14:19.70
what on the seventh day?
00:14:19.70\00:14:20.50
"Rested the seventh day:
wherefore the LORD blessed
00:14:20.50\00:14:23.56
the" what day?
00:14:23.56\00:14:25.16
Which means the sabbath day is
the seventh day, "and hallowed
00:14:25.16\00:14:30.36
it." Now, God said
it, that settles it.
00:14:30.36\00:14:34.16
In six literal days
God created this earth.
00:14:34.16\00:14:38.06
On day seven, God rested, he
blessed it, he sanctified it.
00:14:38.06\00:14:42.66
He set it apart.
00:14:42.66\00:14:43.70
And he can do it because he's
God, and that's just the way
00:14:43.70\00:14:46.33
he is.
00:14:46.33\00:14:47.03
Then we go over to Exodus, and
Exodus just affirms what we've
00:14:47.03\00:14:51.26
already read in Genesis.
00:14:51.26\00:14:52.93
God says, "Remember the
sabbath day," the seventh day,
00:14:52.93\00:14:56.50
"to keep it holy." Six
days you do all your labor.
00:14:56.50\00:15:00.33
And God has said, just
follow my example, because at
00:15:00.33\00:15:02.73
creation week I did all of
my labor in days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
00:15:02.73\00:15:05.63
and 6.
00:15:05.63\00:15:08.10
But on day
seven, God says, rest.
00:15:08.10\00:15:11.33
Because I blessed it.
00:15:11.33\00:15:13.36
And he uses the
term in the commandment,
00:15:13.36\00:15:15.36
I also hallowed it.
00:15:15.36\00:15:16.90
Which is synonymous, the
same thing as sanctifying.
00:15:16.90\00:15:20.36
But God says, I set it apart.
00:15:20.36\00:15:23.56
There is something specific
about the seventh day sabbath.
00:15:23.56\00:15:27.46
Pastor Byrd, why did
God choose the seventh day?
00:15:27.46\00:15:30.83
He's God, and he can do that.
00:15:30.83\00:15:34.03
Whom am I to question?
00:15:34.03\00:15:36.56
Whom am I to question God?
00:15:36.56\00:15:37.86
God said it, that settles it.
00:15:37.86\00:15:40.33
Are you hearing what I'm saying?
00:15:40.33\00:15:41.86
Let's get some more Word.
00:15:41.86\00:15:42.80
Go to the book of
Exodus, chapter 31.
00:15:42.80\00:15:44.66
Let's get some more Word.
00:15:44.66\00:15:47.53
Know what you believe, know
why you believe it, know where
00:15:47.53\00:15:50.43
it's found.
00:15:50.43\00:15:51.36
We're going to work
our way through scripture.
00:15:51.36\00:15:57.50
Exodus 31, verse 12: And the
Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
00:15:57.50\00:16:07.43
Speak thou also unto the
children of Israel, saying,
00:16:07.43\00:16:12.63
Verily my sabbaths ye shall
keep: for it is a sign between
00:16:12.63\00:16:18.03
me and you throughout your
generations." Which means then
00:16:18.03\00:16:23.76
to me that the Sabbath
is not supposed to stop.
00:16:23.76\00:16:27.00
The Sabbath is to be a
sign, the seventh-day Sabbath, a
00:16:27.00\00:16:29.90
sign between God and
his people throughout your
00:16:29.90\00:16:33.36
generation.
00:16:33.36\00:16:34.60
"That ye may know that I
am the LORD that doth sanctify
00:16:34.60\00:16:39.76
you." In other words, I'm
the Lord who set you apart.
00:16:39.76\00:16:42.66
Are you hearing what I'm saying?
00:16:42.66\00:16:44.50
Verse 14: "Ye shall keep
the sabbath therefore; for it is
00:16:44.50\00:16:46.96
holy unto you: every one
that defileth it shall surely be
00:16:46.96\00:16:50.80
put to death: for whosoever
doeth any work therein, that
00:16:50.80\00:16:55.00
soul shall be cut off from
among his people." Verse 15:
00:16:55.00\00:16:58.03
"Six days may work be
done; but in the seventh is the
00:16:58.03\00:17:03.96
sabbath of rest, holy to the
LORD: whosoever doeth any work
00:17:03.96\00:17:06.66
in the sabbath day, he
shall surely be put to death.
00:17:06.66\00:17:10.50
Wherefore the children of
Israel shall keep the sabbath,
00:17:10.50\00:17:12.50
to observe the sabbath
throughout their generations,
00:17:12.50\00:17:14.43
for a perpetual covenant."
00:17:14.43\00:17:16.56
Which means, perpetual,
ongoing." Verse 17: "It is a
00:17:16.56\00:17:21.06
sign between me and the
children of Israel for ever:
00:17:21.06\00:17:23.86
for in six days the Lord made
heaven and earth, and on the
00:17:23.86\00:17:27.86
seventh day he
rested, and was refreshed.
00:17:27.86\00:17:31.53
And he gave unto Moses,
when he had made an end of
00:17:31.53\00:17:34.03
communing with him upon
mount Sinai, two tables of
00:17:34.03\00:17:36.53
testimony, tables of
stone, written with the
00:17:36.53\00:17:39.43
finger of God."
00:17:39.43\00:17:41.60
If God said it, that settles it.
00:17:41.60\00:17:43.73
There are how
many days in a week?
00:17:43.73\00:17:46.60
Seven.
00:17:46.60\00:17:48.10
In six days, day
one God created what?
00:17:48.10\00:17:50.70
Light.
00:17:50.70\00:17:51.36
Day two the what?
00:17:51.36\00:17:52.06
Firmament.
00:17:52.06\00:17:52.70
Day three what?
00:17:52.70\00:17:53.46
Vegetation.
00:17:53.46\00:17:54.43
Day four, the sun,
the moon and the stars.
00:17:54.43\00:17:56.60
Day five, fish and what?
00:17:56.60\00:17:57.66
Fowl.
00:17:57.66\00:17:58.60
Day six, mammal and what?
00:17:58.60\00:17:59.93
Man.
00:17:59.93\00:18:00.86
And then on the seventh
day God ended his which he had
00:18:00.86\00:18:03.10
made, and God did what first?
00:18:03.10\00:18:04.96
Rested.
00:18:04.96\00:18:06.13
you Need a break.
00:18:06.13\00:18:08.00
Secondly, not only did
God rest, but God what?
00:18:08.00\00:18:10.06
Blessed it.
00:18:10.06\00:18:12.23
And the thirdly he what?
00:18:12.23\00:18:13.60
Sanctified it.
00:18:13.60\00:18:15.23
We go to the Ten Commandments
in Exodus, chapter 20, and we
00:18:15.23\00:18:17.86
see and read where God's
Word says, "Remember the sabbath
00:18:17.86\00:18:22.66
day, to keep it holy."
00:18:22.66\00:18:24.46
We go over to Exodus 31,
and we read that the Sabbath,
00:18:24.46\00:18:27.43
the seventh day,
was to be a sign between
00:18:27.43\00:18:29.86
God and his people forever.
00:18:29.86\00:18:34.53
Let's go to Leviticus.
00:18:34.53\00:18:37.13
Get some more Word.
00:18:37.13\00:18:39.03
Know what you believe, know
why you believe it, know where
00:18:39.03\00:18:43.53
it's found.
00:18:43.53\00:18:45.40
Leviticus, chapter 23,
and we're going to verse 3.
00:18:45.40\00:18:50.73
Leviticus 23:3.
00:18:50.73\00:18:57.20
The Word of God
is very clear to us.
00:18:57.20\00:18:59.13
It says to us today, "Six
days shall work be done: but the
00:18:59.13\00:19:04.90
seventh day is the sabbath of
rest, an holy convocation; you
00:19:04.90\00:19:11.03
shall do no work therein: it
is the sabbath of the Lord in
00:19:11.03\00:19:14.83
all your dwellings." So not
only was the Sabbath to be a
00:19:14.83\00:19:19.03
day of rest, not only was
the Sabbath blessed by God, not
00:19:19.03\00:19:22.90
only was the Sabbath
sanctified by God, but the
00:19:22.90\00:19:25.46
Bible says that the Sabbath
is to be a holy convocation.
00:19:25.46\00:19:32.03
Which means,
convocation by definition is, a
00:19:32.03\00:19:33.96
coming together.
00:19:33.96\00:19:35.40
Convocation means an assembly.
00:19:35.40\00:19:37.90
The Bible is clear that on
the Sabbath day there is to be a
00:19:37.90\00:19:41.36
holy coming together.
00:19:41.36\00:19:43.73
There is to be
a holy assembling.
00:19:43.73\00:19:46.16
That is why I was glad today
when they said unto me, Let us
00:19:46.16\00:19:49.66
go into the house of the Lord.
00:19:49.66\00:19:52.13
That's why I was happy today
when I said, Praise God from
00:19:52.13\00:19:55.63
whom all blessings flow.
00:19:55.63\00:19:57.33
Because this is the
seventh-day Sabbath, and I'm
00:19:57.33\00:20:00.46
to enter into his courts with
thanksgiving, into his courts
00:20:00.46\00:20:03.46
with praise, recognizing who
I am and whose I am, because it
00:20:03.46\00:20:08.20
is to be a holy convocation.
00:20:08.20\00:20:10.60
God knew that
you needed a break.
00:20:10.60\00:20:13.10
God knew that I needed a break.
00:20:13.10\00:20:15.56
God knew that we needed
some one-on-one time with him.
00:20:15.56\00:20:20.50
A holy convocation.
00:20:20.50\00:20:23.13
A holy assembly.
00:20:23.13\00:20:25.50
A holy coming together.
00:20:25.50\00:20:29.36
Evening and the morning.
00:20:29.36\00:20:32.13
Which means sunset to what?
00:20:32.13\00:20:34.00
Sunset.
00:20:34.00\00:20:36.53
So by biblical definition,
when the sun sets this
00:20:36.53\00:20:38.66
evening, we're now
moving into another day.
00:20:38.66\00:20:41.90
Because the Bible defines
a day as the evening and the
00:20:41.90\00:20:43.73
what?
00:20:43.73\00:20:45.03
Morning.
00:20:45.03\00:20:45.83
Let's go a little further.
00:20:45.83\00:20:46.96
Let's go to the book of Isaiah.
00:20:46.96\00:20:49.16
Chapter 58.
00:20:49.16\00:20:50.93
Know what you believe, know
why you believe it, know where
00:20:50.93\00:20:52.86
it's found.
00:20:52.86\00:20:54.60
Isaiah 58, and we're
going to verse 13 and 14.
00:20:54.60\00:20:59.46
All right, Pastor, it's clear,
the Bible is clear that the
00:20:59.46\00:21:02.50
seventh day is the Sabbath.
00:21:02.50\00:21:04.13
The Bible is clear, Pastor
Byrd, that not only is the
00:21:04.13\00:21:06.10
seventh day the Sabbath, but
we should rest, it's blessed,
00:21:06.10\00:21:09.10
it's sanctified and set apart,
and it's also supposed to be a
00:21:09.10\00:21:12.66
holy coming together.
00:21:12.66\00:21:14.43
So I see why we come into
God's house on the seventh-day
00:21:14.43\00:21:17.23
Sabbath to worship, because
it's to be a holy convocation.
00:21:17.23\00:21:20.36
But Pastor Byrd, is that it?
00:21:20.36\00:21:22.46
Isaiah 58:13.
00:21:22.46\00:21:26.96
The Word says, "If thou
turn away thy foot from the
00:21:26.96\00:21:32.90
sabbath, from doing thy
pleasure on my holy day; and
00:21:32.90\00:21:36.60
call the sabbath a
delight, the holy of the Lord,
00:21:36.60\00:21:39.20
honorable; and shalt honor
him, not doing thine own ways,
00:21:39.20\00:21:41.56
nor finding thine own
pleasure, nor speaking thine
00:21:41.56\00:21:49.23
own words." Go to verse
14: "Then shalt thou delight
00:21:49.23\00:21:53.70
thyself in the Lord; and I
will cause thee to ride upon
00:21:53.70\00:21:58.03
the high places." Not the
low places, but the high places
00:21:58.03\00:22:01.96
"of the earth, and feed thee
with the heritage of Jacob thy
00:22:01.96\00:22:04.50
father: for the mouth of the
Lord hath spoken it." Because
00:22:04.50\00:22:12.06
the seventh day is the Sabbath
and I'm resting, it's been
00:22:12.06\00:22:15.30
blessed, it's been set aside
and sanctified by God, because
00:22:15.30\00:22:18.56
the Commandments tell me this,
and because I love the Lord so
00:22:18.56\00:22:21.80
I want to keep his
commandments, recognizing that
00:22:21.80\00:22:23.96
keeping God's commandments and
doing what God says is rooted
00:22:23.96\00:22:27.00
in my love for him, I realize
also it's a holy convocation,
00:22:27.00\00:22:34.33
which means there's
a holy coming together.
00:22:34.33\00:22:36.43
We sing, we pray, we praise,
we read God's Word, we worship
00:22:36.43\00:22:40.43
him because it's
a holy convocation.
00:22:40.43\00:22:42.56
I also recognize that I don't
speak any kind of way on God's
00:22:42.56\00:22:45.73
Sabbath.
00:22:45.73\00:22:48.50
I recognize I don't do any
and everything on God's Sabbath.
00:22:48.50\00:22:52.63
I don't speak my own words,
find my own pleasure, because
00:22:52.63\00:22:56.16
I'm doing those
things that please God alone.
00:22:56.16\00:22:58.96
Are you hearing what I'm saying?
00:22:58.96\00:23:00.40
I recognize that because
it's me and God time, I may like
00:23:00.40\00:23:05.66
the Falcons, I may like
the Dolphins, I may like the
00:23:05.66\00:23:09.06
Cowboys, but from sunset
Friday to sunset Saturday it's
00:23:09.06\00:23:13.53
my time with God.
00:23:13.53\00:23:15.66
Because I need a break.
00:23:15.66\00:23:18.26
I need some me and God time.
00:23:18.26\00:23:20.20
I'm on a date with my God.
00:23:20.20\00:23:22.73
God loved me so much that
he sent his Son, Jesus, to die
00:23:22.73\00:23:27.13
for me.
00:23:27.13\00:23:28.00
And on the seventh-day
Sabbath, I need to let him
00:23:28.00\00:23:29.56
know how much I love him.
00:23:29.56\00:23:30.60
So when I'm on a date with
God, I can't be distracted by
00:23:30.60\00:23:34.40
other people.
00:23:34.40\00:23:35.43
I can't be distracted by other
talk, because I'm walking and
00:23:35.43\00:23:39.26
talking with my
mind stayed on Jesus.
00:23:39.26\00:23:42.66
My wife and I, we will have
been married 13 years, praise
00:23:42.66\00:23:49.03
the Lord, in December.
00:23:49.03\00:23:50.73
Thirteen years.
00:23:50.73\00:23:53.20
Before we got married, I used
to take her out on dates and
00:23:53.20\00:23:56.43
even as we are married, I
still take her out on dates.
00:23:56.43\00:23:58.80
Do I have a
witness in this place?
00:23:58.80\00:24:01.13
And when I take her out on
dates, you need to understand,
00:24:01.13\00:24:04.06
I better not be talking
to anybody else, looking for
00:24:04.06\00:24:06.76
anybody else, go to a
restaurant where you can watch
00:24:06.76\00:24:09.73
ESPN.
00:24:09.73\00:24:10.43
Do I have a
witness in this place?
00:24:10.43\00:24:13.30
My wife got hip to that.
00:24:13.30\00:24:14.33
We would go in the restaurant,
baby, where do you want to
00:24:14.33\00:24:16.60
sit?
00:24:16.60\00:24:17.20
Well, I want to sit right
here, because I want to see TV
00:24:17.20\00:24:19.13
in my view.
00:24:19.13\00:24:19.90
Come on, say Amen, brothers.
00:24:19.90\00:24:21.36
But I learned when I'm
on a date with my wife,
00:24:21.36\00:24:24.50
I can't do all that.
00:24:24.50\00:24:27.60
I've got to look in her eyes.
00:24:27.60\00:24:33.66
I've got to tell
her she looks good.
00:24:33.66\00:24:36.33
I have to tell her
how much I love her.
00:24:36.33\00:24:39.33
I've got to smell good.
00:24:39.33\00:24:42.50
Come on, you know you don't
go on no dates smelling bad.
00:24:42.50\00:24:45.66
Do I have a
witness in this place?
00:24:45.66\00:24:48.10
I've got to smell good.
00:24:48.10\00:24:50.40
I've got to look good.
00:24:50.40\00:24:53.76
Hair has to be cut, in
place, lotion on my elbows.
00:24:53.76\00:24:59.10
Can I get a
witness in this place?
00:24:59.10\00:25:03.30
Because I'm on a
date with my wife.
00:25:03.30\00:25:05.73
Are you hearing what I'm saying?
00:25:05.73\00:25:07.53
Well, how much more
so when the sun sets
00:25:07.53\00:25:10.06
on Friday evening.
00:25:10.06\00:25:11.03
And the sun goes down and
I turn off that phone ringer.
00:25:11.03\00:25:15.00
You all hear what I'm saying.
00:25:15.00\00:25:16.20
I cut off that television set.
00:25:16.20\00:25:18.23
You all hear what
I'm talking about.
00:25:18.23\00:25:19.83
And it's my time to
commune with the King of Kings
00:25:19.83\00:25:22.73
and the Lord of Lords.
00:25:22.73\00:25:24.26
I step into God's house
for the holy convocation on the
00:25:24.26\00:25:27.76
seventh-day Sabbath.
00:25:27.76\00:25:28.73
I look good, I dress
good, I smell good, my hair's in
00:25:28.73\00:25:33.70
place, because I'm
on a date with my Jesus.
00:25:33.70\00:25:36.83
You all hear what I'm saying.
00:25:36.83\00:25:37.96
Because Jesus told
me, you need a break.
00:25:37.96\00:25:47.46
I don't speak my own words.
00:25:47.46\00:25:49.16
I don't do my own thing.
00:25:49.16\00:25:51.66
I'm doing what
he tells me to do.
00:25:51.66\00:25:54.63
I'm doing the God thing.
00:25:54.63\00:25:56.40
Are you all
hearing what I'm saying?
00:25:56.40\00:25:58.83
All right, Pastor, well,
we understand that there are
00:25:58.83\00:26:01.86
seven days in a week.
00:26:01.86\00:26:02.83
God created this earth in six
literal days, and on day seven
00:26:02.83\00:26:06.36
God rested, blessed
and sanctified and put
00:26:06.36\00:26:08.30
apart that day.
00:26:08.30\00:26:08.96
"Remember the sabbath day,
to keep it holy." The Sabbath,
00:26:08.96\00:26:11.43
the seventh day, is
to be a holy convocation.
00:26:11.43\00:26:13.23
I then understand why we come
into God's house and worship
00:26:13.23\00:26:15.80
him on the seventh-day Sabbath.
00:26:15.80\00:26:17.26
That makes good
sense, Pastor Byrd.
00:26:17.26\00:26:19.03
I understand, it's to be
a time between God and his
00:26:19.03\00:26:21.70
people forever.
00:26:21.70\00:26:22.73
I also understand I'm not
supposed to speak my own words
00:26:22.73\00:26:25.23
or do my own pleasure, because
this is my time with God.
00:26:25.23\00:26:28.33
One, two, three, four, five,
six for us, but the seventh is
00:26:28.33\00:26:31.33
for Jesus.
00:26:31.33\00:26:33.30
Pastor Byrd, that's so
clear from the Word of God.
00:26:33.30\00:26:41.10
Why doesn't
everyone understand that?
00:26:41.10\00:26:43.36
Why doesn't
everyone believe that?
00:26:43.36\00:26:46.46
Pastor Byrd, God must
have changed his Sabbath
00:26:46.46\00:26:52.63
and his law.
00:26:52.63\00:26:53.30
Because most people don't
realize or recognize in the
00:26:53.30\00:26:55.00
Christian community that the
seventh day and observe it as
00:26:55.00\00:26:58.30
the Sabbath.
00:26:58.30\00:26:59.30
God had to change
his law, Pastor Byrd.
00:26:59.30\00:27:00.93
Did God change his law?
00:27:00.93\00:27:03.06
