Pastor Byrd: My date is
my Sabbath with my seal.
00:00:22.00\00:00:24.56
It's a holy convocation.
00:00:24.56\00:00:27.33
Which means the people of God
come together to worship God.
00:00:27.33\00:00:31.23
You come looking your best.
00:00:31.23\00:00:34.16
Understand that your best
and my best may be different,
00:00:34.16\00:00:37.10
but we come in our best.
00:00:37.10\00:00:38.10
I'm trying to understand
folk talking about I'm coming
00:00:38.10\00:00:40.73
to the Lord just as I am.
00:00:40.73\00:00:42.86
Well, he's the King of
Kings and the Lord of Lords.
00:00:42.86\00:00:45.96
I just feel if you were
going to see Barack Obama
00:00:45.96\00:00:48.53
you would come with your best.
00:00:48.53\00:00:50.10
So if you're going to
see the one who died and hung
00:00:50.10\00:00:52.46
and bled for you, you
ought to come in your best.
00:00:52.46\00:00:55.96
My attentions are on
him, not on everything else
00:00:58.56\00:01:02.50
that is going on.
00:01:02.50\00:01:03.56
Not speaking my own
words, doing my own pleasure,
00:01:03.56\00:01:05.63
because I'm
dealing with the best.
00:01:05.63\00:01:08.06
I'm dealing with the
Lord, because it's his Sabbath
00:01:08.06\00:01:13.56
and I have a date with him.
00:01:13.56\00:01:15.86
But he goes on in his Word.
00:01:15.86\00:01:16.86
Go to Isaiah 66. He tells
me, he says listen, this thing,
00:01:16.86\00:01:22.00
my Sabbath, my seal,
is not just for the here
00:01:22.00\00:01:26.23
and now.
00:01:26.23\00:01:27.93
But he says in the Word of
God in Isaiah 66, verse 22:
00:01:27.93\00:01:31.86
"For as the new
heavens and the new earth,
00:01:31.86\00:01:35.43
which I will make, shall remain
before me, saith the Lord,
00:01:35.43\00:01:38.06
so shall yr seed
and your name remain."
00:01:38.06\00:01:41.23
He says: "And it shall come
to pass, that from one new moon
00:01:41.23\00:01:43.46
to another, and from
one sabbath to another,
00:01:43.46\00:01:45.60
shall all flesh come to worship
before me, saith the Lord."
00:01:45.60\00:01:51.10
Now, you can think Pastor
Byrd has lost his mind up here
00:01:51.10\00:01:53.30
preaching, but
it's the truth anyhow.
00:01:53.30\00:01:55.30
It may not be popular, but you
can't be popular and prophetic
00:01:55.30\00:01:58.33
at the same time.
00:01:58.33\00:01:59.66
You've got to
call it like it is.
00:01:59.66\00:02:02.03
I keep saying and I'll
say it again, it's too much
00:02:02.03\00:02:04.60
cotton candy preaching.
00:02:04.60\00:02:06.06
Sweet on the outside and
hollow and empty on the inside.
00:02:06.06\00:02:09.76
You've got to call it like
it is, what thus saith the Lord.
00:02:09.76\00:02:14.66
Don't want a pat this
preach, preach, preach,
00:02:22.13\00:02:23.50
they ain't said nothing.
00:02:23.50\00:02:27.63
You better preach
what thus saith the Lord.
00:02:27.63\00:02:30.76
When the world is on
fire, I want what's thus saith
00:02:30.76\00:02:33.20
the Lord.
00:02:33.20\00:02:34.70
If I'm trying to get
to the kingdom, I want
00:02:34.70\00:02:38.30
what doth saith the Lord.
00:02:38.30\00:02:41.26
Don't sugar coat me with Jesus.
00:02:41.26\00:02:44.80
On this earth, in the
earth to come, God says
00:02:44.80\00:02:49.80
my Sabbath will be
observed and all flesh will come
00:02:49.80\00:02:53.00
together to
worship me, saith the Lord.
00:02:53.00\00:02:55.90
So we find there are seven days.
00:02:55.90\00:02:57.30
How many days, everybody?
00:02:57.30\00:02:58.30
(Aud: Seven) In a week.
00:02:58.30\00:03:00.36
God created this earth in six
literal days, but on the seventh
00:03:00.36\00:03:02.50
day he rested, he blessed
it, and he sanctified it.
00:03:02.50\00:03:05.13
God then said,
remember the seventh-day Sabbath
00:03:05.13\00:03:07.23
to keep it holy,
because it's my seal.
00:03:07.23\00:03:09.40
My name.
00:03:09.40\00:03:10.40
I am the Lord thy God.
00:03:10.40\00:03:11.53
My title, I am Creator.
00:03:11.53\00:03:13.63
My territory, the
heaven anearth, the seas
00:03:13.63\00:03:15.90
and all that in them is.
00:03:15.90\00:03:16.90
God said that my Sabbath
is to be a sign between me
00:03:16.90\00:03:19.53
and my people forever.
00:03:19.53\00:03:20.96
God then said,
you know what else?
00:03:20.96\00:03:23.53
Not only is it to be a
sign between me and my people,
00:03:23.53\00:03:25.53
but it's to be a
holy convocation.
00:03:25.53\00:03:27.53
A holy time for the people
of God, because they love me,
00:03:27.53\00:03:30.00
they come and they worship me.
00:03:30.00\00:03:31.40
And then God said, listen,
you're not supposed to do your
00:03:31.40\00:03:34.26
own thing, speak your own
words, find your own pleasure,
00:03:34.26\00:03:38.60
but understand that the
Sabbath is me and God time.
00:03:38.60\00:03:42.03
It is a date between me and God.
00:03:42.03\00:03:44.43
Because God says,
earth is preparation place
00:03:44.43\00:03:47.00
for paradise and we're going
to keep the Sabbath on earth
00:03:47.00\00:03:49.63
and when we get to the
new heavens and new earth.
00:03:49.63\00:03:53.46
So that's clear.
00:03:53.46\00:03:56.96
That's straight from the Bible.
00:03:56.96\00:03:58.96
Do you mean to tell me
that this is what the Word says?
00:04:04.43\00:04:07.83
Oh, but no, Pastor Byrd.
00:04:07.83\00:04:10.36
God must have changed his Word.
00:04:10.36\00:04:12.93
It can't just be this crystal
clear and everybody's doing
00:04:15.50\00:04:19.13
their own thing
about God's Sabbath.
00:04:19.13\00:04:21.40
God must have changed his Word.
00:04:21.40\00:04:25.66
Go to Malachi 3:6.
00:04:25.66\00:04:27.20
God must have changed his Word.
00:04:27.20\00:04:30.90
God had to change the Sabbath.
00:04:30.90\00:04:34.60
Go to Malachi 3:6.
00:04:34.60\00:04:37.03
If you have it let
me hear you say Amen.
00:04:37.03\00:04:43.36
Well, the Word of God
says where I'm reading,
00:04:43.36\00:04:45.40
Malachi 3:6, he says,
"For I am the Lord, I change"
00:04:45.40\00:04:50.90
what, everybody?
00:04:50.90\00:04:51.90
"Not." So stop there.
00:04:51.90\00:04:53.36
That means God didn't change
anything. And then why would
00:04:53.36\00:04:57.30
God change something
when God told us to remember
00:04:57.30\00:04:59.53
in the first place?
00:04:59.53\00:05:00.96
So God says, I
didn't change anything.
00:05:00.96\00:05:06.63
So if God the Father
didn't change, surely
00:05:06.63\00:05:11.36
in the New Testament, God
the Son, Jesus the Christ,
00:05:11.36\00:05:15.33
must have changed it.
00:05:15.33\00:05:17.33
Well, let's go to Matthew 5:17.
00:05:17.33\00:05:25.13
The Word of God, Jesus himself
speaking, did Jesus change
00:05:25.13\00:05:28.13
anything?
00:05:28.13\00:05:29.13
Jesus said, no, "Think not that
I am come to destroy the law,
00:05:29.13\00:05:32.66
or the prophets: I
am not come to destroy,
00:05:32.66\00:05:34.70
but to" what?
00:05:34.70\00:05:35.70
"Fulfill.
00:05:35.70\00:05:36.70
For verily I say unto you,
Till heaven and earth pass,
00:05:36.70\00:05:38.70
one jot or one
tittle shall in no wise pass
00:05:38.70\00:05:40.90
from the law, till
all be" what, everybody?
00:05:40.90\00:05:43.23
(Aud: Fulfilled) "Whosoever
therefore shall break one
00:05:43.23\00:05:45.23
of these least commandments,
and shall teach men so,
00:05:45.23\00:05:47.23
he shall be called the
least in the kingdom of heaven:
00:05:47.23\00:05:49.26
but whosoever shall do
and teach them, the same
00:05:49.26\00:05:51.50
shall be
called" what, everybody?
00:05:51.50\00:05:53.50
Great.
00:05:53.50\00:05:55.03
So Jesus said, I
don't change anything.
00:05:55.03\00:05:57.86
I came to fulfill it.
00:05:57.86\00:05:59.43
Well, what do you mean
you came to fulfill it?
00:05:59.43\00:06:01.53
Jesus said, I came to
fulfill it, because I came
00:06:01.53\00:06:03.53
to live it myself.
00:06:03.53\00:06:04.70
Well, what do you mean you
came to live it yourself, Jesus?
00:06:04.70\00:06:06.80
Well, Jesus said, you
know, when I was on his earth
00:06:06.80\00:06:09.46
I kept the Sabbath, too.
00:06:09.46\00:06:10.76
I observed the
Sabbath as being God's seal.
00:06:10.76\00:06:13.13
What do you mean, Jesus?
00:06:13.13\00:06:14.13
He said, well, turn
with me to the book of Luke,
00:06:14.13\00:06:16.36
Chapter 4. Jesus says,
I didn't change anything,
00:06:16.36\00:06:23.16
I fulfilled it. I lived it.
00:06:23.16\00:06:24.96
Luke 4:16.
00:06:24.96\00:06:26.96
Know what you
believe, why you believe it,
00:06:30.40\00:06:32.40
and where it's found.
00:06:32.40\00:06:33.40
The Word of God
says: "And he came to"
00:06:33.40\00:06:35.40
where?
00:06:35.40\00:06:36.40
"Nazareth, where he had
been brought up: and, as his"
00:06:36.40\00:06:38.40
what was?
00:06:38.40\00:06:39.73
As his what was?
00:06:39.73\00:06:40.93
(Aud: Custom) He
went into the what?
00:06:40.93\00:06:42.93
Synagogue, which was
the church, on the what day?
00:06:42.93\00:06:45.03
(Aud: Sabbath) "And
stood up for to read.
00:06:45.03\00:06:47.10
And there was delivered unto him
the book of the prophet Esias.
00:06:47.10\00:06:49.10
And when he had opened the book,
he found the place where it was
00:06:49.10\00:06:51.56
written, The Spirit of the
Lord is upon me, because he hath
00:06:51.56\00:06:54.46
anointed me to preach
the" what to the poor?
00:06:54.46\00:06:57.23
(Aud: Gospel) "He hath sent
me to heal the broken" what?
00:06:57.23\00:06:59.23
(Aud: Hearted) "To preach
deliverance to the captives,
00:06:59.23\00:07:01.30
and recovering of sight to
the blind, to set at liberty
00:07:01.30\00:07:03.30
them that are bruised, to
preach the acceptable year
00:07:03.30\00:07:05.30
of the Lord.
00:07:05.30\00:07:06.30
And he closed the book, and he
gave it again to the minister,
00:07:06.30\00:07:08.56
and sat down.
00:07:08.56\00:07:09.56
And the eyes of all them
there were in the synagogue were
00:07:09.56\00:07:12.16
fastened on him." Jesus
said, I didn't come to destroy
00:07:12.16\00:07:14.56
or change anything.
00:07:14.56\00:07:15.56
I came to fulfill it.
00:07:15.56\00:07:16.60
It was my custom to go to church
on the seventh-day Sabbath
00:07:16.60\00:07:19.60
and preach the gospel.
00:07:19.60\00:07:20.60
And in this
instance he did just that.
00:07:20.60\00:07:23.26
And then when he finished
preaching, he sat down and gave
00:07:23.26\00:07:25.26
the book to the host preacher
and to the host preacher,
00:07:25.26\00:07:29.50
you can take it
from here, I said it.
00:07:29.50\00:07:33.83
Okay, so God didn't change it.
00:07:33.83\00:07:35.83
Jesus the Christ didn't change
God's Sabbath, God's seal.
00:07:37.96\00:07:42.03
So it must have been
changed after Jesus' death.
00:07:43.70\00:07:47.53
The apostles much have
changed the Sabbath, because,
00:07:50.76\00:07:53.80
Pastor Byrd,
it's just too clear.
00:07:53.80\00:07:56.33
You read it from the Old
Testament, we've gotten it
00:07:56.33\00:07:58.33
from the New
Testament and the gospel.
00:07:58.33\00:08:00.40
It has to be that
God's Sabbath was changed.
00:08:00.40\00:08:02.90
God's seal had to be changed
after Jesus' death because
00:08:02.90\00:08:06.33
it just doesn't make sense
why everyone doesn't understand
00:08:06.33\00:08:08.73
the seventh day
is God's Sabbath,
00:08:08.73\00:08:13.86
God's seal, because it's
clear in the Bible, so it had
00:08:13.86\00:08:22.20
to change after Jesus' death.
00:08:22.20\00:08:25.96
Go to Acts 13:42.
00:08:25.96\00:08:29.16
Getting quiet in here.
00:08:29.16\00:08:31.83
Acts 13:42, the Word of
God says: "And when the Jews
00:08:31.83\00:08:38.73
were gone out of the
synagogue, the Gentiles besought
00:08:38.73\00:08:42.26
that these words might be
preached to them the next"
00:08:42.26\00:08:44.33
what?
00:08:44.33\00:08:45.33
Sabbath.
00:08:45.33\00:08:46.33
"Now when the congregation
was broken up, many of the Jews
00:08:46.33\00:08:48.33
and religious proselytes
followed Paul and Barnabas:
00:08:48.33\00:08:50.33
who, speaking to them,
persuaded them to continue
00:08:50.33\00:08:52.86
in the grace
of" whom, everybody?
00:08:52.86\00:08:54.86
(Aud: God) "And the next sabbath
day." The next what, everybody?
00:08:54.86\00:08:57.86
"Came almost the whole city
together to hear the word of"
00:08:57.86\00:09:00.46
whom, everybody?
00:09:00.46\00:09:01.46
(Aud: God) Three things
we learn from this text.
00:09:01.46\00:09:03.46
Number one, we clearly learn
after Jesus' death the Sabbath
00:09:03.46\00:09:06.60
was still kept.
00:09:06.60\00:09:08.00
That's clear.
00:09:08.00\00:09:09.00
After Jesus' death the
Sabbath was still kept.
00:09:09.00\00:09:11.73
Paul and Barnabas
were after Jesus' death.
00:09:11.73\00:09:13.80
Are you hearing what I'm saying?
00:09:13.80\00:09:15.00
Number two, even under grace.
00:09:15.00\00:09:17.63
When we in grace we don't have
to keep God's laws, that means
00:09:20.43\00:09:24.80
we can go shoot and kill
some people because you're under
00:09:24.80\00:09:28.66
grace?
00:09:28.66\00:09:29.66
We're under grace,
we don't--no, no, no.
00:09:29.66\00:09:31.66
They were still persuaded
to continue in the grace of God
00:09:31.66\00:09:34.53
and still observe God's Sabbath.
00:09:34.53\00:09:37.30
Number three, the
Sabbath is not just for Jews.
00:09:37.30\00:09:40.63
The Sabbath is for Jews
and the Sabbath is for Gentiles
00:09:40.63\00:09:46.93
because the
Sabbath is for everybody.
00:09:46.93\00:09:50.33
Jesus died for everybody.
00:09:50.33\00:09:52.76
Now, let's expand our minds.
00:09:52.76\00:09:55.53
Let's say that somebody comes
up to you or maybe you, your own
00:09:55.53\00:09:58.86
self, erroneously had believed
prior to tonight that, well,
00:09:58.86\00:10:04.66
the Sabbath was changed
00:10:04.66\00:10:06.66
because Jesus died
and there was no more need
00:10:09.90\00:10:14.26
for the Sabbath.
00:10:14.26\00:10:17.06
Or the Sabbath was changed
because Jesus rose on another
00:10:17.06\00:10:20.20
day other than the Sabbath.
00:10:20.20\00:10:22.90
So because of that, you
know, we don't have to deal with
00:10:22.90\00:10:24.90
that Sabbath thing.
00:10:24.90\00:10:25.90
That's not binding.
00:10:25.90\00:10:26.90
Now, I don't understand that
logic when you can say, keep all
00:10:26.90\00:10:30.20
the other ten commandments,
don't lie, don't kill,
00:10:30.20\00:10:32.20
don't steal,
don't commit adultery,
00:10:32.20\00:10:34.20
don't do all that, but you don't
have to observe the Sabbath.
00:10:34.20\00:10:37.03
Well, let's expand or minds.
00:10:37.03\00:10:39.03
The reason why that's a weak
argument to say that the Sabbath
00:10:40.86\00:10:47.30
was done away with at the
cross is because the Sabbath
00:10:47.30\00:10:52.16
was instituted
before man had even sinned.
00:10:52.16\00:10:59.86
In Genesis 1, creation.
00:10:59.86\00:11:04.66
Are you hearing me?
00:11:04.66\00:11:05.66
In Genesis 1, creation.
00:11:05.66\00:11:09.80
In Genesis 2, the
institution of the Sabbath.
00:11:09.80\00:11:15.43
In Genesis 3, the fall
of man or the first sin,
00:11:15.43\00:11:21.00
when Adam and Eve ate
of the fruit when God told
00:11:21.00\00:11:23.33
them don't do it.
00:11:23.33\00:11:24.33
Creation, Genesis 1, the
Sabbath instituted in Genesis 2,
00:11:24.33\00:11:29.83
in Genesis 3, the fall of man.
00:11:29.83\00:11:32.16
The Sabbath was in
place before the fall of man.
00:11:32.16\00:11:37.26
The reason Jesus had to go to
Calvary is because of the fall
00:11:37.26\00:11:43.90
of man, because man sinned,
Jesus had to go to Calvary.
00:11:43.90\00:11:49.66
If man had never sinned,
there would have been no need
00:11:49.66\00:11:52.46
for Jesus to go to Calvary.
00:11:52.46\00:11:54.20
Beloved, there is no other
name under which we can be saved
00:11:54.20\00:11:59.13
but the name of Jesus.
00:11:59.13\00:12:01.23
Through Jesus' shed blood
we have forgiveness of sin.
00:12:01.23\00:12:05.03
Jesus, yes, died for my sins.
00:12:05.03\00:12:07.66
Jesus, yes, rose, but that
had nothing to do with changing
00:12:07.66\00:12:15.16
the Sabbath because the
Sabbath was in place before man
00:12:15.16\00:12:21.96
had already sinned.
00:12:21.96\00:12:24.00
Hebrews 4.
00:12:24.00\00:12:25.56
I'm working my
way down to the end.
00:12:25.56\00:12:28.56
Hebrews 4:4, "For he spake in a
00:12:30.06\00:12:36.06
certain place of the seventh day
on this wise, and God did rest
00:12:42.30\00:12:46.80
the seventh day
from all his works.
00:12:46.80\00:12:49.10
And in this place again, If
they shall enter into my rest.
00:12:49.10\00:12:51.73
Seeing therefore it remaineth
that some must enter therein,
00:12:51.73\00:12:54.80
and they to whom it was
first preached entered not in
00:12:54.80\00:12:57.90
because of unbelief."
00:12:57.90\00:13:00.30
Now, I'm reading straight
from the Word tonight. It may
00:13:02.83\00:13:04.96
be different, but I'm
reading from the Word.
00:13:04.96\00:13:07.60
They entered not in
because of unbelief.
00:13:07.60\00:13:12.00
Verse 7: "Again, he limiteth
a certain day, saying in David,
00:13:12.00\00:13:14.40
Today, after so long a time;
as it is said, Today if ye will
00:13:14.40\00:13:17.36
hear his" what?
00:13:17.36\00:13:18.36
(Aud: Voice)
Harden not your what?
00:13:18.36\00:13:20.60
(Aud: Hearts) "For if Jesus had
given them rest, then would he
00:13:20.60\00:13:23.23
not afterward have
spoken of another day.
00:13:23.23\00:13:25.66
There remaineth therefore a rest
to the people of God." If God
00:13:25.66\00:13:35.86
had changed his day, if God had
changed the Sabbath, if he had
00:13:35.86\00:13:39.16
given another day of rest,
don't you think he would have
00:13:39.16\00:13:41.26
told us?
00:13:41.26\00:13:43.26
All right, Pastor Byrd.
00:13:44.73\00:13:45.80
It's clear.
00:13:45.80\00:13:49.03
You were right Saturday night.
00:13:49.03\00:13:51.36
You were right Sunday night.
00:13:51.36\00:13:53.83
That Satan is a deceiver.
00:13:53.83\00:13:55.46
That Satan is a liar.
00:13:55.46\00:13:58.20
Pastor Byrd, you were right.
00:13:58.20\00:14:00.96
He's a liar and
there's no truth in him.
00:14:00.96\00:14:05.96
And this whole thing boils
down to who are we going to give
00:14:05.96\00:14:09.16
our worship to?
00:14:09.16\00:14:10.16
And if I'm going to worship
God, yeah, I clap my hands when
00:14:10.16\00:14:14.83
the praise team sings.
00:14:14.83\00:14:16.60
Yes, I'll clap my
hands when committed sings.
00:14:16.60\00:14:19.93
But they that
worship God must worship God
00:14:19.93\00:14:23.83
in spirit and in truth.
00:14:23.83\00:14:30.50
All right, Pastor
Byrd, you're clear.
00:14:30.50\00:14:32.50
The Word of God is clear.
00:14:32.50\00:14:33.50
So, Pastor, if the seventh day
is the Sabbath, the seventh day
00:14:33.50\00:14:38.50
is God's seal, the Sabbath
was in place before man sinned,
00:14:38.50\00:14:46.36
so we recognize that even
though man sinned and Jesus
00:14:46.36\00:14:48.50
had to go to Calvary,
the Sabbath was in place
00:14:48.50\00:14:50.96
before man sinned.
00:14:50.96\00:14:53.23
So that couldn't be nullified
at the cross, the Sabbath,
00:14:53.23\00:14:55.93
because it was already in place.
00:14:55.93\00:14:59.36
So, Pastor Byrd, how do we
know which day is the Sabbath?
00:14:59.36\00:15:05.93
How do we know
which day is the Sabbath?
00:15:10.13\00:15:15.00
Somebody wants the
Bible to say remember Saturday
00:15:17.26\00:15:22.43
to keep it holy.
00:15:22.43\00:15:24.80
Remember this
day to keep it holy.
00:15:24.80\00:15:27.36
Can we be real?
00:15:27.36\00:15:29.43
The rule of common sense.
00:15:29.43\00:15:31.36
The Bible does not say, and I
say this all the time, the Bible
00:15:31.36\00:15:34.43
does not say thou
shalt not smoke crack.
00:15:34.43\00:15:36.60
But the Bible does say
00:15:36.60\00:15:42.60
that your body and
my body, our bodies,
00:15:45.23\00:15:47.46
are God's temples.
00:15:47.46\00:15:49.93
And so the Bible gives us
principles by which we live.
00:15:49.93\00:15:52.10
Let's be clear on that.
00:15:52.10\00:15:56.06
How do we know which day?
00:15:56.06\00:15:58.83
All right.
00:15:58.83\00:15:59.90
I told you we were going to
work our way down to the end.
00:15:59.90\00:16:02.36
Go to Revelation 1:10.
00:16:02.36\00:16:15.00
The Word of God says,
John himself speaking,
00:16:15.00\00:16:19.53
I, John, "was in the
Spirit on the Lord's day,
00:16:19.53\00:16:27.80
and heard behind me a
great voice, as of a trumpet."
00:16:27.80\00:16:35.16
Now notice, the text
does not say anything about
00:16:35.16\00:16:40.00
what number day John was
in the Spirit, the text just
00:16:40.00\00:16:44.53
says that I, John,
was in the Spirit on
00:16:44.53\00:16:48.30
the Lord's day.
00:16:48.30\00:16:50.03
Because a lot of people try
to tell you this text as license
00:16:50.03\00:16:53.33
to keep whatever day
they want as the Sabbath.
00:16:53.33\00:16:56.86
John says he was in the
Spirit on the Lord's day.
00:16:56.86\00:16:59.13
It does not say which
day was the Lord's day.
00:16:59.13\00:17:01.73
It just says John was in
the Spirit on the Lord's day.
00:17:01.73\00:17:05.63
Now go back to Mark 2:27-28.
00:17:05.63\00:17:13.66
The Word of God
says, stay with me,
00:17:13.66\00:17:22.90
"He said unto them,
The sabbath was made for"
00:17:22.90\00:17:27.66
what?
00:17:27.66\00:17:28.66
Man, and not man for the what?
00:17:28.66\00:17:30.50
(Aud: Sabbath) Therefore the Son
of man is also Lord of the what?
00:17:30.50\00:17:34.86
(Aud: Sabbath) Now, if
Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath
00:17:34.86\00:17:38.53
and the Sabbath day,
then is it not logical
00:17:38.53\00:17:42.03
to deduce that the
Sabbath is the Lord's day?
00:17:42.03\00:17:47.23
If he's Lord of the Sabbath day,
why then wouldn't the Sabbath
00:17:47.23\00:17:50.10
be his day?
00:17:50.10\00:17:52.10
Now, if we go to a
dictionary, Saturday is defined
00:17:53.33\00:17:56.23
as the seventh day of the week.
00:17:56.23\00:17:59.43
Any dictionary that
has not been tainted.
00:17:59.43\00:18:02.26
I wish I had a
witness in this place.
00:18:02.26\00:18:05.40
Saturday is the seventh day.
00:18:05.40\00:18:06.93
That's what the dictionary says.
00:18:06.93\00:18:09.43
If you talk to
someone who speaks Spanish,
00:18:09.43\00:18:11.93
Sabado is the root
word for Saturday, Sabado
00:18:11.93\00:18:16.46
from the root word
Sabaoth, meaning the Sabbath.
00:18:16.46\00:18:20.43
If you talk to any Orthodox Jew,
they will tell you that Saturday
00:18:21.60\00:18:26.10
is the Sabbath.
00:18:26.10\00:18:28.80
But remember you all, our rule
is not to go to the dictionary,
00:18:28.80\00:18:33.13
our rule is not to go
to another man, our rule
00:18:33.13\00:18:37.03
it go to the Word of God.
00:18:37.03\00:18:39.93
Which day then is the Sabbath?
00:18:39.93\00:18:42.13
Go to Luke 23:50.
00:18:42.13\00:18:48.13
"And, behold, there was a
man named Joseph, a counsellor;
00:19:07.50\00:19:12.43
and he was a
good man, and a just:
00:19:12.43\00:19:14.43
(The same had no consented
to the counsel and deed
00:19:14.43\00:19:17.23
of them;) he was of Arimathaea,
00:19:17.23\00:19:19.43
a city of the Jews:
who also himself waited
00:19:19.43\00:19:21.43
for the kingdom of God.
00:19:21.43\00:19:22.53
This man went unto Pilate,
and begged the body of Jesus.
00:19:22.53\00:19:25.20
And he took it down, and wrapped
it in linens, and laid it in
00:19:25.20\00:19:27.23
a sepulcher that was hewn
in stone, wherein never man
00:19:27.23\00:19:30.70
before was laid.
00:19:30.70\00:19:31.70
And that day was
the" what, everybody?
00:19:31.70\00:19:33.70
That day was
the what, everybody?
00:19:33.70\00:19:35.70
(Aud: Preparation)
"And the sabbath drew on."
00:19:35.70\00:19:37.70
So they took his
body down from the cross
00:19:37.70\00:19:40.63
on the preparation day.
00:19:40.63\00:19:41.93
Good Friday.
00:19:41.93\00:19:45.00
The sixth day of the week.
00:19:45.00\00:19:46.33
Are you hearing what I'm saying?
00:19:46.33\00:19:48.10
Took his body
down from the cross.
00:19:48.10\00:19:50.46
That day, verse 54,
was the preparation,
00:19:50.46\00:19:52.50
and the sabbath drew on.
00:19:52.50\00:19:54.50
Which means, the
Sabbath came after Good Friday,
00:19:54.50\00:19:56.50
the preparation day.
00:19:56.50\00:19:58.06
The women also, verse
55, "which came with him
00:19:58.06\00:20:00.60
and beheld the sepulcher,ter,
and how his body was laid.
00:20:00.60\00:20:03.80
And they returned, and prepared
spices and ointments: and rested
00:20:03.80\00:20:07.20
the" what day?
00:20:07.20\00:20:08.70
Come on, rested the what day?
00:20:08.70\00:20:11.30
(Aud: Sabbath)
"According to the" what?
00:20:11.30\00:20:13.30
(Aud: Commandment) On day seven,
Saturday, the Sabbath, Jesus'
00:20:13.30\00:20:17.90
body laid resting in the
grave, Jesus was obedient
00:20:17.90\00:20:20.73
to God's
commandment even in death.
00:20:20.73\00:20:22.80
Luke 24:1.
00:20:22.80\00:20:26.86
"Now upon the first
day of the week, very early
00:20:26.86\00:20:33.76
in the morning, they
came unto the sepulcher,
00:20:33.76\00:20:35.76
bringing the spices which they
had prepared, and certain others
00:20:35.76\00:20:37.76
with them.
00:20:37.76\00:20:38.76
And they found the stone
rolled away from the sepulcher.
00:20:38.76\00:20:40.76
And they entered in, and found
not the body of the Lord Jesus.
00:20:40.76\00:20:42.76
And it came to pass, as they
were much perplexed thereabout,
00:20:42.76\00:20:46.76
behold." How
many men, everybody?
00:20:46.76\00:20:48.76
"Two men stood by
them in shining garments:
00:20:48.76\00:20:50.76
And as they were afraid,
and bowed down their faces
00:20:50.76\00:20:52.76
to the earth, they
said unto them, Why seek
00:20:52.76\00:20:54.76
ye the living among the dead?
00:20:54.76\00:20:56.76
He is not here, but is risen:
remember how he spake unto you
00:20:56.76\00:20:58.76
when he was yet in Galilee,
saying, The Son of man must be
00:20:58.76\00:21:00.83
delivered into the
hands of sinful men,
00:21:00.83\00:21:02.83
and be crucified, and
the third day rise again.
00:21:02.83\00:21:04.83
And they remembered his words."
00:21:04.83\00:21:06.80
Which means, friends of
mine, what day is the Sabbath?
00:21:06.80\00:21:10.63
The Bible is clear.
00:21:10.63\00:21:12.06
Good Friday, the sixth
day, preparation day, Jesus died
00:21:12.06\00:21:16.33
on Calvary.
00:21:16.33\00:21:17.33
His body was taken
down from the cross.
00:21:17.33\00:21:19.86
On the seventh day,
Sabbath, Saturday, his body lay
00:21:19.86\00:21:24.83
resting in the grave.
00:21:24.83\00:21:26.70
On the first day of the
week, early Sunday morning,
00:21:26.70\00:21:30.70
Christianity says
today, Easter Sunday morning,
00:21:30.70\00:21:34.16
Jesus rose.
00:21:34.16\00:21:35.70
Because after day
seven you've got to go back
00:21:35.70\00:21:38.03
to day number one.
00:21:38.03\00:21:39.03
Are you hearing what I'm saying?
00:21:39.03\00:21:40.40
The Bible is clear that
the seventh day, Saturday,
00:21:40.40\00:21:44.70
is the Sabbath.
00:21:44.70\00:21:45.93
Which means, because it's a holy
convocation, I find myself in
00:21:45.93\00:21:52.60
God's church on God's Sabbath,
lifting the name of Jesus.
00:21:52.60\00:21:57.76
Yes, I may have come this night.
00:21:57.76\00:22:00.06
Yes, I may have come that night.
00:22:00.06\00:22:02.16
But on God's seventh
day Sabbath, a day of rest,
00:22:02.16\00:22:10.70
evening unto evening.
00:22:10.70\00:22:14.93
Well, Pastor Byrd,
man, this is tough.
00:22:14.93\00:22:17.03
Pastor Byrd, this is hard.
00:22:17.03\00:22:19.03
I'm telling you because I love
you, and God told me to tell you
00:22:22.03\00:22:27.26
this because he loves you.
00:22:27.26\00:22:30.86
And if you love God you
will keep his commandments.
00:22:30.86\00:22:38.46
Now we're righteous in the sight
of God, but as filthy rags.
00:22:42.86\00:22:47.93
In and of myself I
cannot save myself.
00:22:47.93\00:22:50.93
Yes, I keep God's
Sabbath, but in and of myself
00:22:52.30\00:22:55.66
I cannot save myself.
00:22:55.66\00:22:57.20
I told you, just
as the woman says,
00:22:57.20\00:23:00.36
I go to Sabbath every week,
I go to Sabbath, yeah, yeah,
00:23:00.36\00:23:04.96
yeah.
00:23:04.96\00:23:05.96
The devil goes to church, too.
00:23:05.96\00:23:07.96
But I keep God's Sabbath.
00:23:11.00\00:23:13.33
I observe God's Sabbath
because I love me some Jesus.
00:23:13.33\00:23:18.50
And Jesus says, if you
love me, keep my commandments,
00:23:18.50\00:23:21.43
but not only that,
we've got to learn,
00:23:21.43\00:23:23.46
friends of mine, if we're
serious about loving Jesus,
00:23:23.46\00:23:25.76
we've got to love Jesus the
way Jesus wants us to love him.
00:23:25.76\00:23:29.03
We don't love Jesus the
way we want to love Jesus.
00:23:32.10\00:23:34.20
I love Jesus.
00:23:34.20\00:23:35.20
Well, love him the
way he wants to be loved.
00:23:35.20\00:23:38.83
Our wives want us to love them
the way they want to be loved.
00:23:38.83\00:23:42.20
Husbands want their
wives to love them the way
00:23:42.20\00:23:44.73
they want to be loved.
00:23:44.73\00:23:46.60
You've got to love the
Lord the way the Lord wants
00:23:46.60\00:23:48.83
to be loved,
not the way you want
00:23:48.83\00:23:50.83
to be loved.
00:23:50.83\00:23:51.83
Well, Pastor
Byrd, it's just a day.
00:23:51.83\00:23:55.60
God is a God of specifics.
00:23:55.60\00:23:58.06
Pastor Byrd, it's just a
day, and if Adam and Eve were
00:23:58.06\00:24:02.46
here they would
say it was just fruit.
00:24:02.46\00:24:05.66
It looked good.
00:24:12.96\00:24:15.46
It tasted good.
00:24:15.46\00:24:17.46
But God says,
it's not what I wanted.
00:24:18.66\00:24:21.36
I told you don't eat of the tree
of good and evil in the middle
00:24:21.36\00:24:24.10
of the garden.
00:24:24.10\00:24:25.10
Don't do it.
00:24:25.10\00:24:26.10
If you do it you
shall what, everybody?
00:24:26.10\00:24:28.10
Die.
00:24:28.10\00:24:29.10
God is a god of specifics.
00:24:29.10\00:24:30.10
You don't believe me, ask Cain.
00:24:30.10\00:24:33.20
Well, Cain gave God his best.
00:24:36.36\00:24:38.06
It could have been his
best fruits, best grains
00:24:38.06\00:24:40.16
and vegetables, but God said,
00:24:40.16\00:24:42.16
I need a sacrifice.
00:24:42.16\00:24:44.33
And God said, I can't
accept a sacrifice without
00:24:44.33\00:24:46.90
the shedding of blood.
00:24:46.90\00:24:47.90
So, yes, Abel
brought a sacrifice.
00:24:47.90\00:24:52.73
Cain brought a sacrifice and it
was Cain's best, but God didn't
00:24:52.73\00:24:56.10
accept it because it
was not what God asked for.
00:24:56.10\00:25:03.53
I'm giving God my worship.
00:25:05.63\00:25:07.63
I'm giving God my praise.
00:25:10.70\00:25:12.83
But is it the worship and praise
00:25:12.83\00:25:18.83
that God asked for.
00:25:21.16\00:25:22.73
Go to Matthew 7, verse 21.
00:25:22.73\00:25:28.73
"Not every one that saith unto
me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into
00:25:34.76\00:25:46.83
the kingdom of heaven; but he
that doeth the will of my Father
00:25:46.83\00:25:52.73
which is in heaven.
00:25:52.73\00:25:53.73
Many will say to me in that
day, Lord, Lord, have we not
00:25:53.73\00:25:56.43
prophesied in thy name?
00:25:56.43\00:25:57.43
and in they name
have cast out devils?
00:25:57.43\00:25:59.43
And in thy name done
many wonderful works?"
00:25:59.43\00:26:01.50
God, I sang in the praise team.
00:26:01.50\00:26:03.10
God, I sang in the choir.
00:26:03.10\00:26:04.10
God, I ushered.
00:26:04.10\00:26:05.10
God, I sold fish dinner.
00:26:05.10\00:26:06.60
But did you do my will?
00:26:06.60\00:26:12.33
Verse 23: "And then will I
profess unto them, I never knew
00:26:12.33\00:26:15.50
you: depart from me, ye
that work iniquity." Last text,
00:26:15.50\00:26:22.60
give me just a
little time tonight.
00:26:22.60\00:26:26.26
Mark, Chapter 7.
00:26:26.26\00:26:28.26
Trying to give you the Word.
00:26:31.40\00:26:32.40
Know what you believe, know
why you believe it, and know
00:26:32.40\00:26:34.40
where it's found.
00:26:34.40\00:26:36.00
Mark 7, last text, verse 6.
00:26:36.00\00:26:41.56
"He answered and said
until them, Well hath Esaias
00:26:41.56\00:26:48.33
prophesied of you hypocrites,
as it is written, This people
00:26:48.33\00:26:53.60
honoureth me with their lips,
but their heart is far from me.
00:26:53.60\00:27:01.33
Howbeit in vain do they worship
me, teaching for doctrines
00:27:01.33\00:27:08.30
the commandments of men.
00:27:08.30\00:27:10.83
For laying aside the commandment
of God, ye hold the tradition
00:27:10.83\00:27:14.20
of men, as the washing
of pots and cups: and many
00:27:14.20\00:27:17.70
other such like things ye do.
00:27:17.70\00:27:19.46
And he said unto them, Full well
00:27:19.46\00:27:21.90
ye reject the commandment
of God, that ye may keep
00:27:24.00\00:27:31.00
your own tradition."
00:27:33.53\00:27:38.50
But if you love me,
keep my commandments.
