Remember 00:18:02.53\00:18:04.53 the Sabbath day to keep it holy. 00:18:04.53\00:18:06.53 Now, we're still looking for God's seal. 00:18:06.53\00:18:08.53 Let's look carefullyn Exodus, Chapter 20, verses 8, 9, 10 00:18:08.53\00:18:10.53 and 11 to find God's seal. 00:18:10.53\00:18:11.53 Now, remember, a seal bears three things. 00:18:11.53\00:18:13.53 It bears one's what? 00:18:13.53\00:18:14.56 Name. 00:18:14.56\00:18:15.63 It bears one's what? 00:18:15.63\00:18:16.80 Title. 00:18:16.80\00:18:17.80 It bears one's what? 00:18:17.80\00:18:18.80 Territory. 00:18:18.80\00:18:20.83 Let's find God's name in the fourth commandment. 00:18:20.83\00:18:23.83 The Lord thy God. 00:18:25.13\00:18:27.93 That's his name. 00:18:31.86\00:18:34.73 His title, he made everything, which makes his title, 00:18:34.73\00:18:38.20 he is Creator. 00:18:38.20\00:18:39.20 His territory. 00:18:39.20\00:18:44.83 The heavens, the earth, the seas and all that in them is. 00:18:44.83\00:18:52.73 Which means God's territory is everywhere. 00:18:52.73\00:18:56.36 The Sabbath then, we cannot have the Sabbath to take it or leave 00:18:58.13\00:19:03.60 it, because God's Sabbath is God's seal. 00:19:03.60\00:19:08.66 His name, Lord thy God, his title, he is Creator, 00:19:08.66\00:19:16.20 he made everything, and his territory, the heavens, 00:19:16.20\00:19:20.06 the earth, the seas, and all that in them is. 00:19:20.06\00:19:23.06 Well, Pastor Byrd, that's a stretch. 00:19:23.06\00:19:25.06 I don't know that about his sign. 00:19:25.06\00:19:27.06 I don't know if the Sabbath is God's sign. 00:19:27.06\00:19:29.06 I don't know if God's Sabbath is God's seal. 00:19:29.06\00:19:31.06 I'm with you, Pastor Byrd, but God created this earth 00:19:31.06\00:19:33.06 in six literal days and he rested, he blessed it, 00:19:33.06\00:19:36.66 and he sanctified the seventh day Sabbath. 00:19:36.66\00:19:38.66 I'm with you on that. 00:19:38.66\00:19:39.66 I understand that a seal bears one's name, title and territory, 00:19:39.66\00:19:43.03 but how do we really know God's seal is God's Sabbath? 00:19:43.03\00:19:45.96 How do we really know that God's seal, God's sign, 00:19:45.96\00:19:48.70 is God's Sabbath? 00:19:48.70\00:19:49.70 I knew you would ask, so now I'm going to 00:19:49.70\00:19:51.70 take you to Exodus 31. 00:19:51.70\00:19:53.70 Know what you believe, know why you believe it, 00:19:55.30\00:19:59.06 and know where it's found. 00:19:59.06\00:20:01.53 Getting quiet in here tonight. 00:20:01.53\00:20:06.60 Some of you all want me to come shout you. 00:20:06.60\00:20:08.76 I told somebody, preaching is not just shouting. 00:20:08.76\00:20:10.76 If you're going to shout, say something worth 00:20:10.76\00:20:12.76 shouting about. 00:20:12.76\00:20:13.76 Exodus 31, verse 12. 00:20:13.76\00:20:14.86 If you have it let me hear you say Amen. 00:20:14.86\00:20:16.86 The Word of God says, "And the Lord spake unto Moses, 00:20:16.86\00:20:18.86 saying, Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, 00:20:18.86\00:20:20.86 saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: 00:20:20.86\00:20:24.23 for it is a sign between me and you." 00:20:24.23\00:20:26.60 s a what, everybody? 00:20:26.60\00:20:27.73 Come on, it is a what, everybody? 00:20:27.73\00:20:29.73 (Aud: Sign) "Between me and you 00:20:29.73\00:20:31.73 throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am 00:20:31.73\00:20:33.73 the Lord that doth sanctify you. 00:20:33.73\00:20:35.73 Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is" 00:20:35.73\00:20:37.73 what unto you? 00:20:37.73\00:20:38.73 (Aud: Holy) "Every one that defileth it 00:20:38.73\00:20:40.73 shall surely be put to" what?

00:22:45.63\00:22:47.63 Holy. 00:22:47.63\00:22:48.63 We are clear from the Word of God that God's seal 00:22:48.63\00:22:50.63 is God's Sabbath, which means I can't treat it 00:22:50.63\00:22:52.63 like any other thing. 00:22:52.63\00:22:53.63 I can't treat like any other day, 00:22:53.63\00:22:55.63 because it bears his name, his title, his territory. 00:22:55.63\00:22:57.63 The Lord thy God, his title, he is Creator, his territory, 00:22:57.63\00:23:01.13 the heavens, the earth, the seas and all 00:23:01.13\00:23:03.83 that in them is. 00:23:03.83\00:23:04.83 The Sabbath is God's seal, God's sign, which is to be 00:23:04.83\00:23:07.50 a sign or a mark between God and his people forever. 00:23:07.50\00:23:11.46 The Bible says that the Sabbath is a day of rest, 00:23:13.90\00:23:17.46 a holy convocation. 00:23:17.46\00:23:19.76 Which means, let me confess, I've nothing to hide, 00:23:19.76\00:23:24.70 that on God's seventh-day Sabbath I find myself 00:23:24.70\00:23:27.76 in worship to God in God's church, 00:23:27.76\00:23:30.40 because Leviticus 23:3 says that it is 00:23:30.40\00:23:33.86 a holy convocation. 00:23:33.86\00:23:35.40 When we talk about a convocation, we talk 00:23:35.40\00:23:37.40 about a coming together. 00:23:37.40\00:23:39.13 We talk about an assembly. 00:23:39.13\00:23:42.20 The Bible is saying, this is a holy coming together. 00:23:42.20\00:23:45.63 This is a holy assembly where the people of God, 00:23:45.63\00:23:49.50 because it's God's seal, they come together 00:23:49.50\00:23:52.50 in holy convocation in worship to God. 00:23:52.50\00:23:55.50 Yes, there are some people in this world that get 00:23:55.50\00:23:58.70 a little bit excited perhaps about LeBron James. 00:23:58.70\00:24:02.56 There are some people in this world that get perhaps 00:24:02.56\00:24:05.33 a little excited about Beyonce and Jay-Z. 00:24:05.33\00:24:08.76 But I need you to understand that on God's seventh-day 00:24:08.76\00:24:12.50 Sabbath, for me it ain't about LeBron James, for me it's not 00:24:12.50\00:24:16.66 about the Miami Heat, for me it's not about Jay-Z, Beyonce, 00:24:16.66\00:24:20.50 or anybody else for that matter, but it's all about the King 00:24:20.50\00:24:23.36 of Kings, it's all about the Lord of Lords, 00:24:23.36\00:24:26.36 because it's his seal, it is his Sabbath. 00:24:26.36\00:24:30.00 All right, Pastor Byrd. 00:24:34.93\00:24:35.93 It's a hard word, but it's the right word. 00:24:35.93\00:24:40.23 Get some more. 00:24:41.56\00:24:43.63 Go with me to the book of Isaiah. 00:24:43.63\00:24:46.63 I wish you to go to Chapter 58, verse 13. 00:24:53.10\00:24:57.73 The Word of God says: 00:24:57.73\00:25:03.80 "If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, 00:25:06.13\00:25:09.06 from doing thy" what, everybody?
