Hello, and welcome to
Behold the Lamb presents.
00:00:40.80\00:00:43.47
I'm Chris Shelton your host,
00:00:43.51\00:00:45.04
and we have a
special message for you.
00:00:45.07\00:00:47.54
It is entitled A Challenge
for all Bible Christians.
00:00:47.58\00:00:51.55
And you know each time
we open the Word of God,
00:00:51.58\00:00:53.95
we are always
challenged by God's Word.
00:00:53.98\00:00:56.58
And the one Pastor Kenny
00:00:56.62\00:00:57.95
is going to present to you today
00:00:57.99\00:00:59.32
seems to be one
00:00:59.35\00:01:00.69
that people
struggle with so often
00:01:00.72\00:01:02.69
and yet it's so clear in
the Old and New Testament,
00:01:02.72\00:01:06.33
so stayed tuned
00:01:06.36\00:01:07.70
and enjoy your
study with us today.
00:01:07.73\00:01:11.93
Praise the Lord.
Happy Sabbath, everyone.
00:01:11.97\00:01:14.27
Glad you're here.
00:01:14.30\00:01:15.80
Praise the Lord for
each and everyone of you
00:01:15.84\00:01:17.74
and we praise God
00:01:17.77\00:01:19.11
that we have
one more opportunity
00:01:19.14\00:01:20.64
to come together
to study the Word.
00:01:20.68\00:01:23.14
We don't know how
many more opportunities
00:01:23.18\00:01:24.91
we will have.
00:01:24.95\00:01:26.72
You know, we talk
about it all the time
00:01:26.75\00:01:28.38
but please keep it in mind,
00:01:28.42\00:01:30.39
every time we
have an opportunity
00:01:30.42\00:01:32.85
make the best of it,
00:01:32.89\00:01:34.49
make sure that we come and
that we fellowship together
00:01:34.52\00:01:36.89
because there will be a day come
00:01:36.93\00:01:38.93
that we'll not be
able to open these doors.
00:01:38.96\00:01:41.56
I'm telling you
that's Bible prophecy,
00:01:41.60\00:01:43.26
the day will come
00:01:43.30\00:01:44.63
we will not be able
to open these doors.
00:01:44.67\00:01:47.00
We will wish
00:01:47.04\00:01:48.47
that we had made
every opportunity,
00:01:48.50\00:01:50.91
you know that we
have spent together,
00:01:50.94\00:01:52.71
and we will
draw from those times
00:01:52.74\00:01:54.71
that we've had together
that we've been encouraged.
00:01:54.74\00:01:56.85
We prayed together,
we sang songs together,
00:01:56.88\00:02:00.28
and we've had good
fellowship together,
00:02:00.32\00:02:02.55
and we know that
will be quite a blessing.
00:02:02.58\00:02:05.19
Before we get into
the message for today,
00:02:05.22\00:02:07.79
the title of the
message today is A Challenge
00:02:07.82\00:02:11.16
for all Bible Christians.
00:02:11.19\00:02:13.50
You know, in life,
00:02:13.53\00:02:14.86
I've always
liked a good challenge.
00:02:14.90\00:02:16.46
And I don't know about
you but I like a challenge.
00:02:16.50\00:02:19.87
It's always good.
00:02:19.90\00:02:21.24
Sometimes a challenge
brings you up another step,
00:02:21.27\00:02:25.17
may be from what
ordinarily that you're doing,
00:02:25.21\00:02:27.14
but when you're challenged
you put the best foot forward.
00:02:27.18\00:02:30.28
And so that's
what a challenge is
00:02:30.31\00:02:32.28
and so I'm going to challenge
00:02:32.31\00:02:34.82
all Bible
Christians today on the subject
00:02:34.85\00:02:37.35
that we're going
to be talking about,
00:02:37.39\00:02:39.12
one's that's very old subject
but it's all very, very good.
00:02:39.15\00:02:42.92
But I'm going to
kneel and have prayer first
00:02:42.96\00:02:44.43
and ask that you'd
pray with me, please.
00:02:44.46\00:02:48.46
Loving Father in heaven,
00:02:48.50\00:02:49.83
once again we want
to commit ourselves
00:02:49.86\00:02:51.20
into Thy care and Thy keeping.
00:02:51.23\00:02:53.13
I ask for the blood
of Jesus to cover me,
00:02:53.17\00:02:55.90
cleanse me from
all unrighteousness.
00:02:55.94\00:02:58.11
Please help me to
be a vessel today,
00:02:58.14\00:03:00.54
a vessel that can
be used for Your honor
00:03:00.58\00:03:03.31
and for Your glory.
00:03:03.35\00:03:04.81
We pray the
vessel will not be seen
00:03:04.85\00:03:06.75
but only Jesus' voice will be
00:03:06.78\00:03:08.62
and cross of
Calvary will be lifted up.
00:03:08.65\00:03:11.42
Bless us now, we
pray as the ears,
00:03:11.45\00:03:13.22
and eyes and hearts
of each of Your children
00:03:13.25\00:03:15.26
will be opened to
receive that which You have.
00:03:15.29\00:03:18.36
May we be Bible students today,
may we sit at Your feet today.
00:03:18.39\00:03:23.37
And we're going to
thank You in advance
00:03:23.40\00:03:24.73
as we thank You
for everyone here
00:03:24.77\00:03:26.13
in Jesus name.
00:03:26.17\00:03:27.50
Amen.
00:03:27.54\00:03:31.01
You have your Bible, I
want you to turn with me,
00:03:31.04\00:03:32.74
this is one of the...
00:03:32.77\00:03:34.34
I guess one of my
favorite Bible passages
00:03:34.38\00:03:37.61
that I remember,
00:03:37.65\00:03:38.98
especially when
you study Sabbath
00:03:39.01\00:03:41.75
and you study
about the Sabbath issue.
00:03:41.78\00:03:43.95
Remember, when we
studied the Sabbath issue,
00:03:43.99\00:03:46.39
that's quite an issue.
00:03:46.42\00:03:48.16
But you know, if
you only had one example
00:03:48.19\00:03:52.03
in the entire Bible
about Sabbath observance,
00:03:52.06\00:03:55.63
who would it be?
00:03:55.66\00:03:57.00
I could think of
all the Bible writers,
00:03:57.03\00:03:58.37
everybody in it,
00:03:58.40\00:03:59.73
Sabbath keepers, so
but who would it be?
00:03:59.77\00:04:02.64
It would be Jesus
Christ, wouldn't it?
00:04:02.67\00:04:04.54
And I like this passage
found in the Book of Luke 4:16.
00:04:04.57\00:04:09.34
So if you have your Bibles,
00:04:09.38\00:04:10.71
let's just turn there
quickly and let's read.
00:04:10.75\00:04:13.25
Now remember if
this is all that we had,
00:04:13.28\00:04:15.28
would it be
enough to convince you,
00:04:15.32\00:04:17.72
would it be
enough to convince me
00:04:17.75\00:04:20.42
that which day I should
keep, which day I should go on.
00:04:20.46\00:04:24.79
Luke 4, and we are
going to be reading verse 16.
00:04:24.83\00:04:28.76
The Bible says,
I always love that,
00:04:32.63\00:04:34.64
I say it every time
and I can't help myself,
00:04:34.67\00:04:37.07
I just love it
because I know the Bible says.
00:04:37.11\00:04:40.04
Any other book that you may have
00:04:40.08\00:04:41.61
that you hardly
ever referred it,
00:04:41.64\00:04:43.45
the other books as it were,
00:04:43.48\00:04:44.88
anything in the world
00:04:44.91\00:04:46.25
and say, well, this
book said, that person said,
00:04:46.28\00:04:47.62
because you know,
00:04:47.65\00:04:48.98
you never know
where they are coming from
00:04:49.02\00:04:50.35
and where they're
gathering their facts,
00:04:50.39\00:04:51.72
but I know this is
the truth of God's word
00:04:51.75\00:04:55.92
and we need to
learn just to read it
00:04:55.96\00:04:58.49
and take it for
the way that it reads
00:04:58.53\00:05:00.83
because the
scripture was inspired by God,
00:05:00.86\00:05:03.90
so God inspired
this for us to read it,
00:05:03.93\00:05:07.20
and then faith to believe it.
00:05:07.24\00:05:09.30
The Bible says, "And
when He," who is He here?
00:05:09.34\00:05:12.91
"Came to Nazareth,
where he had been brought up,
00:05:12.94\00:05:16.11
and as his..."
00:05:16.14\00:05:17.48
I love this, I've
always loved this,
00:05:17.51\00:05:18.85
"As his custom
was, He went," where?
00:05:18.88\00:05:23.15
"He went to the
synagogue on the Sabbath day,
00:05:23.18\00:05:26.96
and stood up for to read."
00:05:26.99\00:05:30.19
Very interesting, Jesus Christ,
00:05:30.23\00:05:32.09
King of kings and Lord
of lords came to this earth
00:05:32.13\00:05:36.70
and as He came to this earth,
00:05:36.73\00:05:38.07
there was a purpose why He came.
00:05:38.10\00:05:40.60
He came to set what?
00:05:40.64\00:05:42.04
An example for us,
certainly to die for our sins,
00:05:42.07\00:05:45.01
certainly on Calvary,
00:05:45.04\00:05:47.44
but He came to set an example
00:05:47.48\00:05:49.24
to show us the right
way, to teach us, right?
00:05:49.28\00:05:54.32
Because of all
the misconceptions
00:05:54.35\00:05:56.22
that were going
on even in His day,
00:05:56.25\00:05:58.85
all the teachings
of men and traditions
00:05:58.89\00:06:01.39
and doctrines of devils
00:06:01.42\00:06:03.22
that were out
there just like today.
00:06:03.26\00:06:06.26
Most of the
preaching and the teaching
00:06:06.29\00:06:07.83
you have is mingled
00:06:07.86\00:06:09.20
with the
doctrines of devils today
00:06:09.23\00:06:11.67
because they are not the truth,
00:06:11.70\00:06:13.84
because there's
Bible is telling us
00:06:13.87\00:06:15.77
what is truth, and we
want to follow what it was.
00:06:15.80\00:06:19.11
Here's Jesus, Bible says
here He came back to Nazareth,
00:06:19.14\00:06:24.11
well you know kind of that's
where He was raised and born.
00:06:24.15\00:06:27.95
That's where mom and daddy,
00:06:27.98\00:06:29.58
mom was at and the
brothers and sisters,
00:06:29.62\00:06:32.55
they were all there
and He was coming back
00:06:32.59\00:06:34.46
and we had to realize that
00:06:34.49\00:06:35.92
this was about a year
and a half, this passage,
00:06:35.96\00:06:38.99
a year and a half
into His fulltime ministry.
00:06:39.03\00:06:42.03
He left the carpenter shop
00:06:42.06\00:06:44.30
and He went
fulltime into ministry,
00:06:44.33\00:06:46.80
a year and a half,
00:06:46.84\00:06:48.17
so that simply means
that He only had about what?
00:06:48.20\00:06:50.84
A year and a half left.
00:06:50.87\00:06:53.41
He came back to town, and
when He came back to town,
00:06:53.44\00:06:57.11
people knew that
Jesus was the preacher man.
00:06:57.15\00:07:00.75
Somebody with me?
00:07:00.78\00:07:02.32
No one could preach like Jesus.
00:07:02.35\00:07:05.49
And very interesting
they had a lot on their heart
00:07:05.52\00:07:07.36
and a lot on their mind
because when they were getting,
00:07:07.39\00:07:09.62
as they were into the temple,
00:07:09.66\00:07:10.99
when Brother Mark
did bring him a scroll.
00:07:11.03\00:07:13.76
And they had to
unroll that scroll
00:07:13.80\00:07:15.43
until they found the passage
00:07:15.46\00:07:16.80
that they wanted
and everybody stood up
00:07:16.83\00:07:19.07
when the Holy Word was written.
00:07:19.10\00:07:21.17
And the speaker
would be standing,
00:07:21.20\00:07:22.54
and he would find it,
00:07:22.57\00:07:23.91
and he would read
his passage of scripture
00:07:23.94\00:07:26.07
and then he would
roll it back together
00:07:26.11\00:07:28.01
and give it to the man
and they would put it up.
00:07:28.04\00:07:30.88
Interesting.
00:07:30.91\00:07:32.55
Everyone was excited
00:07:32.58\00:07:34.05
because Jesus
was coming to town,
00:07:34.08\00:07:36.95
the one that was different.
00:07:36.99\00:07:39.02
The one that
dared to be different.
00:07:39.05\00:07:41.19
The one that
challenged all false doctrines
00:07:41.22\00:07:44.09
and teaching
regardless of where it was at.
00:07:44.13\00:07:47.93
So no one needs
to say and think,
00:07:47.96\00:07:49.96
well in some issues Jesus,
00:07:50.00\00:07:51.43
you know, He
just let it slide by.
00:07:51.47\00:07:53.13
He never let wrong slide by.
00:07:53.17\00:07:55.70
He never let a false doctrine
and teaching just slide by.
00:07:55.74\00:07:59.31
He always met it head on
00:07:59.34\00:08:01.14
and He said
exactly what He meant.
00:08:01.18\00:08:04.05
Jesus, King of kings,
00:08:04.08\00:08:07.02
He went to the
temple, the synagogue,
00:08:07.05\00:08:10.55
and His custom
was, think about that.
00:08:10.59\00:08:14.42
As His custom, this
is what He always did.
00:08:14.46\00:08:18.19
I like that. You know why?
00:08:18.23\00:08:20.13
Because it's consistency.
00:08:20.16\00:08:21.70
Wouldn't that be nice
00:08:21.73\00:08:23.06
if we as Christians had
that kind of consistency.
00:08:23.10\00:08:26.10
You know we're
pretty rough sometimes
00:08:26.13\00:08:27.47
when it comes to
being consistent Christians.
00:08:27.50\00:08:29.97
You know we are just
kind of back and forth
00:08:30.01\00:08:31.61
by this or that circumstances,
or this or that happening,
00:08:31.64\00:08:34.58
something else took place
00:08:34.61\00:08:35.94
and something
else was a priority.
00:08:35.98\00:08:37.61
You know nothing is to
be a priority for you or me
00:08:37.65\00:08:40.62
on the Sabbath day
00:08:40.65\00:08:41.98
except coming
right here, nothing else.
00:08:42.02\00:08:46.15
You know why?
00:08:46.19\00:08:47.52
Because that's
what the Bible says.
00:08:47.56\00:08:50.03
That's what the Bible says.
00:08:50.06\00:08:51.39
And it's time that
we quit fussing with God
00:08:51.43\00:08:54.60
and get down to
business because God says so.
00:08:54.63\00:08:58.73
You want heaven to be our home,
00:08:58.77\00:09:00.10
we need to look at
it the way Bible said.
00:09:00.14\00:09:02.00
Now what will that do?
00:09:02.04\00:09:03.37
Oh, that will
offend some people.
00:09:03.41\00:09:04.74
Some people will get mad.
00:09:04.77\00:09:06.11
It's been number one,
they must not love the truth.
00:09:06.14\00:09:10.61
They must not love the truth.
00:09:10.65\00:09:11.98
Do you realize to
really appreciate God,
00:09:15.42\00:09:17.55
really appreciate Jesus
00:09:17.59\00:09:19.19
as our creator and our redeemer,
00:09:19.22\00:09:22.26
it is a must to keep
the seventh day Sabbath.
00:09:22.29\00:09:25.36
Somebody with me?
00:09:25.39\00:09:28.66
Because one of the reasons
00:09:28.70\00:09:30.03
we keep it is
because He is what?
00:09:30.07\00:09:32.23
He is the creator
of heaven and earth.
00:09:32.27\00:09:35.50
And when He got done
creating, He did what?
00:09:35.54\00:09:38.14
He rested on the Sabbath.
00:09:38.17\00:09:39.51
He was, Whoo, the
Bible says refreshed.
00:09:39.54\00:09:42.48
I like that, He was refreshed.
00:09:42.51\00:09:45.01
And you know we can be refreshed
00:09:45.05\00:09:46.41
on the Sabbath.
00:09:46.45\00:09:47.78
Brother Mark says,
00:09:47.82\00:09:49.15
He's refreshed on the
Sabbath because of the,
00:09:49.18\00:09:51.72
you know, all of the work you do
00:09:51.75\00:09:53.09
in six days working hard
00:09:53.12\00:09:54.72
and there's a day off,
00:09:54.76\00:09:57.39
put the carpenter belt
up, put the saw machine up,
00:09:57.43\00:10:00.00
whatever it might be,
00:10:00.03\00:10:01.36
put everything up
except for the Word of God,
00:10:01.40\00:10:03.67
go into the sanctuary.
00:10:03.70\00:10:05.03
And this is what Jesus is doing.
00:10:05.07\00:10:06.40
He went into the
synagogue on the Sabbath day,
00:10:06.43\00:10:08.60
the Bible said, and
He stood up for a read.
00:10:08.64\00:10:11.17
If that's all you had,
00:10:11.21\00:10:12.54
a challenge to
all Bible Christians,
00:10:12.57\00:10:14.58
if that's all you had in
scriptures and it is not.
00:10:14.61\00:10:17.48
It's not just a little
fraction of what is in there.
00:10:17.51\00:10:20.38
What would you do
with that passage?
00:10:20.42\00:10:22.32
Would you be safe in just saying
00:10:22.35\00:10:24.12
this is what Jesus
did while He was here.
00:10:24.15\00:10:26.62
He came to set
the example for me.
00:10:26.65\00:10:28.86
He came to walk before me.
00:10:28.89\00:10:30.66
He came to trot the path,
00:10:30.69\00:10:32.36
and, you know,
I'm to follow Him.
00:10:32.39\00:10:35.03
Would I feel secure?
00:10:35.06\00:10:38.07
Would I feel
secure in this passage?
00:10:38.10\00:10:39.43
This is what He did.
00:10:39.47\00:10:40.80
Rather than get
00:10:40.84\00:10:42.17
these little
flimsy things of saying,
00:10:42.20\00:10:43.57
well, He was a Jew,
that's why He did it.
00:10:43.61\00:10:46.21
Shame on us. Is it
okay if I say that?
00:10:46.24\00:10:48.94
Shame on us if
we used that to say,
00:10:48.98\00:10:51.61
well, He was a
Jew, that's why He...
00:10:51.65\00:10:54.88
How come we don't say
00:10:54.92\00:10:56.25
that on
thousands of other things,
00:10:56.28\00:10:57.62
well, He was Jew
that's why He did it.
00:10:57.65\00:10:59.55
Remember Jesus did
00:10:59.59\00:11:01.06
the right thing
in every situation.
00:11:01.09\00:11:05.33
He did the right thing
00:11:05.36\00:11:06.70
regardless of what the Jews did,
00:11:06.73\00:11:09.63
regardless of what they taught.
00:11:09.66\00:11:11.90
He did not go along with
it if it weren't scriptural.
00:11:11.93\00:11:14.80
He always set the right example,
00:11:14.84\00:11:16.71
so we can be sure
what He was doing here.
00:11:16.74\00:11:19.81
You think He didn't know
00:11:19.84\00:11:21.21
what men would do
at the end of time.
00:11:21.24\00:11:24.08
How they would
brutalize the Sabbath
00:11:24.11\00:11:25.95
and put a
counterfeit in its place.
00:11:25.98\00:11:29.28
As a Holy Spirit
inspired man of God
00:11:29.32\00:11:31.32
to write these things down
00:11:31.35\00:11:32.89
so we would know what truth is.
00:11:32.92\00:11:34.72
Sure, He knew all these things.
00:11:34.76\00:11:37.13
So He came to set
the example for us
00:11:37.16\00:11:40.06
and you know what?
00:11:40.10\00:11:41.43
It cost Him His life,
00:11:41.46\00:11:43.60
but to me it cost yours.
00:11:43.63\00:11:47.37
I can think about the
day He's coming into town
00:11:47.40\00:11:49.84
and mama knew about it,
00:11:49.87\00:11:51.57
brothers and
sisters knew about it.
00:11:51.61\00:11:55.14
At least in my mind, no doubt,
they attended the services.
00:11:55.18\00:11:58.55
Well, they had been or not,
00:11:58.58\00:11:59.91
you know, the
boys or the sissies,
00:11:59.95\00:12:01.28
you know the girls,
where they had been or not,
00:12:01.32\00:12:03.82
but I'm sure they did
but if they weren't they came
00:12:03.85\00:12:07.76
because they
wanted to hear from Jesus,
00:12:07.79\00:12:11.53
His custom was,
what was customary.
00:12:11.56\00:12:14.73
What was a habit
for him. I like that.
00:12:14.76\00:12:17.83
Attending service on
the seventh day of the week.
00:12:17.87\00:12:20.70
I like that.
00:12:20.74\00:12:22.27
There can be no
mistake about it.
00:12:22.30\00:12:24.44
Luke says something about Jesus,
00:12:24.47\00:12:26.27
if you remember
in the Book of Luke,
00:12:26.31\00:12:28.88
in fact chapters 23,
00:12:28.91\00:12:32.18
one of the last verses 56
00:12:32.21\00:12:34.02
and then you read
chapter 24 verse 1
00:12:34.05\00:12:37.22
makes it clear
00:12:37.25\00:12:38.62
when the services
of the Sabbath is,
00:12:38.65\00:12:41.39
it's on the seventh day
'cause it's talking about,
00:12:41.42\00:12:44.26
you know, the crucifixion,
it's talking about Friday,
00:12:44.29\00:12:46.83
it's talking about Sabbath,
it's taking about Sunday.
00:12:46.86\00:12:49.03
There was no mistake
00:12:49.06\00:12:50.60
about which day and
there is no mistake today
00:12:50.63\00:12:53.67
which is the
seventh day of the week.
00:12:53.70\00:12:56.00
Another flimsy thing and
excuse that people today.
00:12:56.04\00:13:00.38
Well, we don't know
00:13:00.41\00:13:01.74
which day is the
seventh day of the week.
00:13:01.78\00:13:04.28
Well how is it you
know which day is the first.
00:13:04.31\00:13:07.52
Well, we can't count on the day.
00:13:07.55\00:13:08.88
Well, you count on
certain day for your birthday
00:13:08.92\00:13:10.72
and every thing else, don't you?
00:13:10.75\00:13:13.02
We can figure out everything
and we can figure out every,
00:13:13.05\00:13:16.02
brother John, every Good Friday.
00:13:16.06\00:13:19.93
Ain't that right?
00:13:19.96\00:13:22.23
Catholic Church will tell
you, if that's Good Friday,
00:13:22.26\00:13:24.63
they came up with it.
00:13:24.67\00:13:27.34
Every Christian realized
Christ rose on the first day
00:13:27.37\00:13:29.87
of the week, Sunday.
00:13:29.90\00:13:31.71
But isn't it very strange
we can figure out Good Friday,
00:13:31.74\00:13:34.74
we can figure out Sunday,
the first day of the week,
00:13:34.78\00:13:36.91
but we've lost the seventh,
00:13:36.95\00:13:39.31
which is stuck in between
the two and you can't lose it.
00:13:39.35\00:13:44.32
Ain't it convenience?
00:13:44.35\00:13:46.42
Oh, well, we can't figure it out
00:13:46.45\00:13:48.09
unless it's convenient.
00:13:48.12\00:13:50.69
Luke said, "We know,"
00:13:50.73\00:13:52.06
he makes it clear that
the duty of the Christians
00:13:52.09\00:13:56.80
who love Jesus
with all their heart,
00:13:56.83\00:13:59.70
they want to
follow in His footsteps
00:13:59.73\00:14:01.50
because these are simple
things that we wrestle with.
00:14:01.54\00:14:04.11
John 14:50, Jesus said
I'm going to make it simple,
00:14:04.14\00:14:08.24
"If you love Me,
keep My commandments."
00:14:08.28\00:14:12.08
See, where do we...
00:14:12.11\00:14:13.48
What argument do
we put up with that?
00:14:13.52\00:14:16.45
It's so simple, if you love me,
oh, we love Him, we love Him,
00:14:16.48\00:14:20.96
but we don't, we
don't need to do this.
00:14:20.99\00:14:23.02
Who said? He said you did.
00:14:23.06\00:14:26.19
Jesus said you did,
00:14:26.23\00:14:27.96
if you love me,
then you keep them,
00:14:28.00\00:14:30.67
and we have the audacity to say,
00:14:30.70\00:14:32.30
well, I love Him, but
we don't have to keep Him.
00:14:32.33\00:14:35.00
You don't smack
Jesus in the face
00:14:35.04\00:14:36.64
and get away with it.
00:14:36.67\00:14:39.31
It's a little bit bold
but you know what I'm saying.
00:14:39.34\00:14:41.74
You don't keep
saying, I know what you said,
00:14:41.78\00:14:43.65
and I know what
you were inspired
00:14:43.68\00:14:45.01
by the Holy Spirit.
00:14:45.05\00:14:46.38
The Holy Spirit
cannot write anything
00:14:46.41\00:14:47.75
or inspire men to
rile holy men of God,
00:14:47.78\00:14:50.19
but what, but what is truth.
00:14:50.22\00:14:52.75
If you believe
this is the truth,
00:14:52.79\00:14:54.52
then we need not
try to change it around
00:14:54.56\00:14:57.99
for convenience or
because everybody's doing it
00:14:58.03\00:15:02.13
because the whole world...
00:15:02.16\00:15:03.83
Bible says the whole world
will wander after the beast,
00:15:03.87\00:15:06.97
and they are those whose names
00:15:07.00\00:15:08.34
are not written in
the lamb's book of life.
00:15:08.37\00:15:11.34
See this is the heavy-duty stuff
00:15:11.37\00:15:13.01
that sometime we forget.
00:15:13.04\00:15:14.61
The bottom line is,
00:15:14.64\00:15:15.98
yeah, but all the
world's doing it this way,
00:15:16.01\00:15:17.71
yup, the whole
world basically is what?
00:15:17.75\00:15:20.72
Is going to be lost,
that's what the Bible says.
00:15:20.75\00:15:23.75
Do I like that?
Do I like it? No.
00:15:23.79\00:15:26.49
It saddens me to
think about that,
00:15:26.52\00:15:29.02
but after that it says,
00:15:29.06\00:15:30.49
but there is a little
group, all the world fail,
00:15:30.53\00:15:33.80
but this little
group, you know why?
00:15:33.83\00:15:35.16
Because that little
group is not of the world.
00:15:35.20\00:15:38.93
All the world wander after it.
00:15:38.97\00:15:40.30
The God's group
is not of the world,
00:15:40.34\00:15:42.37
they dare to be different.
00:15:42.40\00:15:44.37
They dare to preach the truth.
They dare to live the truth.
00:15:44.41\00:15:47.78
They dare to
speak what is truth.
00:15:47.81\00:15:50.05
I'm thankful for that.
00:15:50.08\00:15:51.41
If you love Me, He
said, just keep them.
00:15:51.45\00:15:54.52
And we realize this
is impossible on our own,
00:15:54.55\00:15:56.58
but with Him, all
things are possible.
00:15:56.62\00:15:58.72
You know why?
Because He came here, where?
00:15:58.75\00:16:01.12
In the flesh.
00:16:01.16\00:16:02.49
He came here
just like me and you,
00:16:02.52\00:16:04.49
and He lived a victorious life,
00:16:04.53\00:16:06.23
because He
emptied Himself of self
00:16:06.26\00:16:08.16
and was filled with the Father.
00:16:08.20\00:16:09.63
He had no edges,
the King of king,
00:16:09.66\00:16:12.00
Sister Marlene,
the King of kings
00:16:12.03\00:16:13.64
when he came down here,
00:16:13.67\00:16:15.00
He had nothing
that you can't have.
00:16:15.04\00:16:17.74
That blows my mind,
it's too much for me.
00:16:17.77\00:16:22.44
He put His life on the
line in facing the enemy
00:16:22.48\00:16:26.51
because He was
going to be my substitute.
00:16:26.55\00:16:30.12
'Cause He knew I would fail.
00:16:30.15\00:16:33.66
And if He failed,
the world was lost.
00:16:33.69\00:16:36.69
And what the enemy
said would be true.
00:16:36.73\00:16:39.33
But it wasn't
going to happen that way.
00:16:39.36\00:16:42.96
You know that
maybe just a small fact
00:16:43.00\00:16:46.53
that here that we
need not overlook.
00:16:46.57\00:16:50.94
Well, and we have alluded to it,
00:16:50.97\00:16:52.81
but why on this earth did Jesus,
00:16:52.84\00:16:55.51
or did He not observe
the same day of the week
00:16:55.54\00:16:59.55
as the Jews did
as far as Sabbath.
00:16:59.58\00:17:02.12
Did He or did He not?
00:17:02.15\00:17:03.85
He observed the same
day that the Jews did
00:17:03.89\00:17:07.99
on the seventh day Sabbath.
00:17:08.02\00:17:09.42
Yes, He did, He sure did this.
00:17:09.46\00:17:11.49
And then, I
think about 1 John 2:6,
00:17:11.53\00:17:14.53
it says, "We need
to walk as He walked."
00:17:14.56\00:17:19.23
See that's pretty simple to me.
00:17:19.27\00:17:20.87
Bible says we need to
learn to walk as He walked.
00:17:20.90\00:17:26.68
Okay, so keep that in mind.
00:17:26.71\00:17:28.14
Okay, He kept the
same day as the Jew.
00:17:28.18\00:17:30.71
This is evidence...
00:17:30.75\00:17:32.28
Listen, this is
evidence when He came
00:17:32.31\00:17:35.75
and He kept the
seventh day Sabbath
00:17:35.78\00:17:37.75
that no time had been lost
00:17:37.79\00:17:40.26
since the law was
given on Mount Sinai
00:17:40.29\00:17:42.69
and that no time had been lost
00:17:42.72\00:17:44.63
since the beginning of time.
00:17:44.66\00:17:49.03
Going all the way
back to Adam and Eve.
00:17:49.06\00:17:51.10
Are you still with me?
00:17:51.13\00:17:53.03
No time had been lost
00:17:53.07\00:17:54.90
in the daily cycle.
00:17:54.94\00:17:59.04
It was still there
and Jesus observed it.
00:17:59.07\00:18:02.84
Do you think for a
moment if He had been confused
00:18:02.88\00:18:05.18
that He would let it
continue to be confused?
00:18:05.21\00:18:07.52
Would He have not
tried to change it back?
00:18:07.55\00:18:09.78
He did everything else
that wasn't going right,
00:18:09.82\00:18:11.59
wouldn't He?
00:18:11.62\00:18:12.95
You know, I say, you Jews,
00:18:12.99\00:18:14.36
you are keeping
this day and really
00:18:14.39\00:18:15.79
it's this day right here.
00:18:15.82\00:18:17.39
You say, well, how
do you know which day?
00:18:17.43\00:18:18.89
Because I'm the
creator of these days.
00:18:18.93\00:18:22.33
He created the weekly cycle,
you think He didn't know it.
00:18:22.36\00:18:25.83
Absolutely, He did.
00:18:25.87\00:18:27.67
He created the world.
00:18:27.70\00:18:29.04
It says,
anything that wasn't made,
00:18:29.07\00:18:30.54
everything that was
made was made by Him.
00:18:30.57\00:18:33.41
How wonderful that
is to think about it.
00:18:33.44\00:18:37.45
So He knew
00:18:37.48\00:18:38.81
that since the law
was given at Sinai,
00:18:38.85\00:18:40.62
since creation time
had been the same, why?
00:18:40.65\00:18:44.32
Because the Bible says to me
00:18:44.35\00:18:46.39
that Christ is
Lord also of what?
00:18:46.42\00:18:49.66
Of the Sabbath.
00:18:49.69\00:18:51.26
Mark 2:28,
00:18:51.29\00:18:54.76
remember the Lord is what?
00:18:54.80\00:18:56.33
He is Lord of the Sabbath,
He is the creator of it.
00:18:56.36\00:19:02.54
He understands it, He knows it.
00:19:02.57\00:19:04.87
Think about it, if
He created something
00:19:04.91\00:19:06.78
that He knew that we needed,
00:19:06.81\00:19:09.14
that would be a blessing to us,
00:19:09.18\00:19:12.25
and then somehow we've forgotten
00:19:12.28\00:19:15.05
or that we don't
want to observe it,
00:19:15.08\00:19:16.42
or we want to make excuses
because we want to play games,
00:19:16.45\00:19:18.72
or we want to run
here and run there
00:19:18.75\00:19:20.16
and do all other
kind of strange things
00:19:20.19\00:19:22.36
on His holy day.
00:19:22.39\00:19:23.73
Remember, Christ is
Lord also of the Sabbath,
00:19:23.76\00:19:27.40
so the Lord's day is what?
00:19:27.43\00:19:30.10
Come on church,
what is the Lord's day?
00:19:30.13\00:19:31.57
Is it Saturday
or Sunday? Saturday.
00:19:31.60\00:19:33.20
It's Saturday
00:19:33.23\00:19:34.57
because that's
what the Bible says.
00:19:34.60\00:19:35.94
He is Lord of the Sabbath.
00:19:35.97\00:19:40.28
We never call
Sunday the Sabbath,
00:19:40.31\00:19:41.98
you can't do that, it's wrong.
00:19:42.01\00:19:45.45
Sunday is the
first day of the week.
00:19:45.48\00:19:47.55
Remember, that's the way
00:19:47.58\00:19:48.92
they were all
labeled, wasn't it,
00:19:48.95\00:19:50.29
first, second, third, fourth.
00:19:50.32\00:19:51.65
See man's made it a
little more complicated,
00:19:51.69\00:19:53.02
the devil did and said Monday,
and Tuesday, and Wednesday,
00:19:53.05\00:19:55.29
and all after some
of these ancient gods
00:19:55.32\00:19:57.73
and all different kind of stuff.
00:19:57.76\00:19:59.13
God just said,
first day, second day,
00:19:59.16\00:20:01.86
so we wouldn't forget.
00:20:01.90\00:20:03.47
Seven is not too
big, we can't forget.
00:20:03.50\00:20:07.97
He is Lord of the
Sabbath. Remember, He made it.
00:20:08.00\00:20:12.11
Genesis 2:1-3, He
is the creator of it.
00:20:12.14\00:20:17.75
It must be good
00:20:17.78\00:20:19.11
because when you
go back to Genesis,
00:20:19.15\00:20:21.32
He looked back over
creation and what did He say?
00:20:21.35\00:20:24.79
Everything was good.
00:20:24.82\00:20:27.92
And to me good
just translated perfect.
00:20:27.96\00:20:31.69
If it comes from
the Creator's hand,
00:20:31.73\00:20:33.06
it can't be anything
but perfect and good,
00:20:33.09\00:20:36.20
and He created it
and He rested, right,
00:20:36.23\00:20:38.93
from His work
00:20:38.97\00:20:40.30
which He had done creating
to set an example for me
00:20:40.34\00:20:43.41
and for you.
00:20:43.44\00:20:44.77
So the challenge goes out,
00:20:44.81\00:20:46.27
what do we do
with this information?
00:20:46.31\00:20:50.15
Say Jesus came
and He didn't know
00:20:50.18\00:20:51.58
what He was doing the
whole time He was here,
00:20:51.61\00:20:53.25
or lot of stuff
00:20:53.28\00:20:54.62
He didn't know
what He was teaching,
00:20:54.65\00:20:55.98
or He was teaching us a lie.
00:20:56.02\00:20:57.35
No, He couldn't possibly.
00:20:57.39\00:20:58.72
And the seventh
day Sabbath is a day
00:21:03.49\00:21:05.23
that Christ then claims as what?
00:21:05.26\00:21:08.66
His day. He said it's My day.
00:21:08.70\00:21:10.87
Mark 2:27, read it, Mark 2:27,
00:21:10.90\00:21:13.67
"The Sabbath of
the Lord thy God."
00:21:13.70\00:21:16.04
It's the Lord's day.
00:21:16.07\00:21:18.97
People use Revelation 1:10,
00:21:19.01\00:21:20.98
they are not
translating it properly.
00:21:21.01\00:21:22.61
I was in the
spirit on the Lord's day.
00:21:22.64\00:21:24.51
See, that's Sunday.
00:21:24.55\00:21:25.88
It didn't say
whether it's Sunday,
00:21:25.91\00:21:27.25
or whether it's Saturday,
00:21:27.28\00:21:28.62
or whether it's
Tuesday or Wednesday.
00:21:28.65\00:21:29.98
Let's not just project
what it says right there
00:21:30.02\00:21:31.95
but you go back to
scriptures like this.
00:21:31.99\00:21:33.99
The Lord's day is the
Sabbath, the seventh day.
00:21:34.02\00:21:37.66
Now we know which
day is the Lord's day.
00:21:37.69\00:21:39.69
It's His day.
00:21:39.73\00:21:41.06
He created, He
made it, He stamped it.
00:21:41.10\00:21:45.00
And He said, "My
people need this rest."
00:21:45.03\00:21:49.14
He put it in the
heart of the commandment.
00:21:49.17\00:21:50.97
How many of us think
that we can just, in these,
00:21:51.01\00:21:52.61
any commandment we want, we
can just ex one of them out.
00:21:52.64\00:21:56.78
Remember the only
00:21:56.81\00:21:58.15
that's been
exed out by the world
00:21:58.18\00:21:59.61
is the fourth commandment, why?
00:21:59.65\00:22:01.58
Because that's the one
the remembers Him as what?
00:22:01.62\00:22:03.72
Creator God, right?
00:22:03.75\00:22:05.99
Creator of heaven,
earth, the stamp of approval.
00:22:06.02\00:22:08.49
You can tell that's the only one
00:22:08.52\00:22:09.86
that identifies who
wrote the Ten Commandments.
00:22:09.89\00:22:12.59
All the others, thou shall not.
00:22:12.63\00:22:14.86
The fourth one is God's sign
00:22:14.90\00:22:16.73
and His seal of His
people in the last days.
00:22:16.77\00:22:20.10
And the devil has done his best,
00:22:20.14\00:22:22.40
when he said in the
beginning, I shall, what?
00:22:22.44\00:22:24.34
Sit above, right?
00:22:24.37\00:22:26.11
And then the devil,
what, what did he say.
00:22:26.14\00:22:28.18
I'm going to be using powers,
00:22:28.21\00:22:30.01
I'm going to be using
00:22:30.05\00:22:31.38
and we see that, in Daniel 7:25,
00:22:31.41\00:22:33.95
for the papacy
00:22:33.98\00:22:35.32
and he shall think to
change times and laws.
00:22:35.35\00:22:38.89
He shall think to change them.
00:22:38.92\00:22:41.92
See we have to realize
00:22:41.96\00:22:43.29
as much as we've
heard these things
00:22:43.32\00:22:44.89
that we need to
set it deep in our mind
00:22:44.93\00:22:46.53
because we will be
approached with these issues
00:22:46.56\00:22:50.17
much more than we
even are right now.
00:22:50.20\00:22:52.77
We're going to be
challenged with these issues,
00:22:52.80\00:22:54.94
a challenge of it,
00:22:54.97\00:22:56.30
does it really
make a difference.
00:22:56.34\00:22:58.67
See, I'm
challenging Christians today
00:22:58.71\00:23:00.41
who say it
doesn't make a difference.
00:23:00.44\00:23:02.28
Where do you read
that in the Word of God?
00:23:02.31\00:23:03.88
Where at one place do
you read in the Word of God,
00:23:03.91\00:23:06.08
it doesn't make any difference?
00:23:06.11\00:23:07.78
Who is it, can write down here,
00:23:07.82\00:23:09.15
and I've people
do the same thing.
00:23:09.18\00:23:10.65
Well, God says one in seven.
00:23:10.69\00:23:12.49
I go to them, I say, He
does not say one in seven.
00:23:12.52\00:23:17.69
They want to think one in seven.
00:23:17.73\00:23:19.39
Well, it doesn't really make it,
00:23:19.43\00:23:20.76
any day will do.
00:23:20.80\00:23:22.13
Where does it say
it in the Word of God?
00:23:22.16\00:23:24.53
See, that's my whole point.
00:23:24.57\00:23:26.07
If we're going to
use the Word of God,
00:23:26.10\00:23:27.54
let's go back to the Word of God
00:23:27.57\00:23:28.90
and say here's what it says.
00:23:28.94\00:23:30.27
But because
00:23:30.31\00:23:31.64
they've just heard these things,
00:23:31.67\00:23:33.01
they've just taken them and say,
00:23:33.04\00:23:34.38
oh, okay, well,
that's why I go because...
00:23:34.41\00:23:36.64
I go to church on Sunday, why?
00:23:36.68\00:23:38.01
Because Christ rose on that day.
00:23:38.05\00:23:39.51
Well, good, you
got a good point there,
00:23:39.55\00:23:41.25
but nowhere does it
say now the day is changed
00:23:41.28\00:23:43.39
because He rose on Sunday.
00:23:43.42\00:23:45.15
In fact, it says
Sunday resurrection is what?
00:23:45.19\00:23:48.79
What's commemorative
of that? Baptism, baptism.
00:23:48.82\00:23:53.73
He rose because it give us what?
00:23:53.76\00:23:55.43
Going down into watery grave,
coming up in newness of life.
00:23:55.46\00:23:58.40
Romans 6:1-3,
00:23:58.43\00:24:01.04
just read it, it tells
you exactly what it is.
00:24:01.07\00:24:04.67
No change whatsoever,
00:24:04.71\00:24:07.81
and so what are we
going to do with it.
00:24:07.84\00:24:11.55
His example to me is a
perfect, I don't know about you,
00:24:11.58\00:24:14.38
but it's a perfect,
He is a perfect pattern.
00:24:14.42\00:24:17.35
All I have to
do is look and say,
00:24:17.39\00:24:18.72
what did Jesus do here?
00:24:18.75\00:24:20.99
It's a pattern for
all Christians to follow.
00:24:21.02\00:24:26.09
And it really
shouldn't upset us,
00:24:26.13\00:24:27.53
and we shouldn't get all upset
and mad about and say, what,
00:24:27.56\00:24:30.27
this is what the Word says.
00:24:30.30\00:24:32.63
It says the seventh day
00:24:32.67\00:24:34.00
is a Sabbath of
the Lord thy God.
00:24:34.04\00:24:37.17
All of this stuff
really helps us understand
00:24:37.21\00:24:39.84
the weekly cycle.
00:24:39.87\00:24:41.54
How the weekly
cycle has come down for us
00:24:41.58\00:24:44.41
when there's
changes in the calendars,
00:24:44.45\00:24:45.98
changes in this
we don't really know.
00:24:46.01\00:24:49.72
Do we realize how we need to
be very, very careful with that.
00:24:49.75\00:24:52.52
We understand that
some days were taken out
00:24:52.55\00:24:54.89
but in no way
affected the weekly cycle.
00:24:54.92\00:24:59.19
Why would God give us something
00:24:59.23\00:25:00.56
that's
impossible for us to keep?
00:25:00.60\00:25:02.93
Why would God give us something
and then turn around and said,
00:25:02.96\00:25:07.14
"If you're doing working
00:25:07.17\00:25:08.50
and you're doing theft on that."
00:25:08.54\00:25:09.87
Remember what He told Israel?
00:25:09.90\00:25:11.24
He said, "You shall surely die."
00:25:11.27\00:25:12.61
He's going to put them to death.
00:25:12.64\00:25:13.98
A death decree on
those who broke the Sabbath
00:25:14.01\00:25:16.24
and He loved them just
as much as He loves us,
00:25:16.28\00:25:17.61
the bottom line,
00:25:17.65\00:25:18.98
there's going to
be a death decree
00:25:19.01\00:25:20.35
for those who
understand it and won't do it.
00:25:20.38\00:25:22.68
We might as well get down to it,
00:25:22.72\00:25:24.05
that's what it's about.
00:25:24.09\00:25:25.42
Why would He do it for one group
00:25:25.45\00:25:26.79
which was called
His chosen people?
00:25:26.82\00:25:28.89
Did He not tell
them that? Yes, He did.
00:25:28.92\00:25:31.93
And you feel like
00:25:31.96\00:25:33.29
you are His chosen people today,
00:25:33.33\00:25:34.66
you understand it,
wouldn't the same thing apply.
00:25:34.70\00:25:37.63
We find in this cycle
00:25:37.67\00:25:39.00
it's an unbroken sequence
from the time of Christ.
00:25:39.03\00:25:44.54
There is no
excuse about not knowing
00:25:44.57\00:25:46.44
which day to worship on.
00:25:46.47\00:25:49.31
I say we need a Sabbath reform.
00:25:49.34\00:25:52.61
Seventh-day Adventists
need a Sabbath reform.
00:25:52.65\00:25:54.78
We need to start remembering
what the Sabbath is all about.
00:25:54.82\00:25:58.42
Sabbath is not
about family reunions,
00:25:58.45\00:26:01.52
it's not about birthday parties,
00:26:01.56\00:26:02.89
it's not about weddings,
00:26:02.92\00:26:04.26
it's not about all
these other things right here,
00:26:04.29\00:26:06.06
it's God's day, do you get it?
00:26:06.09\00:26:08.20
And only thing
that we can do is what?
00:26:08.23\00:26:10.73
We should do is the things
00:26:10.77\00:26:12.10
that God says is
acceptable on His day.
00:26:12.13\00:26:15.37
All these other
things may not be bad
00:26:15.40\00:26:16.77
within themselves
00:26:16.81\00:26:18.14
but it takes our mind off
00:26:18.17\00:26:19.51
of what the
Sabbath is all about.
00:26:19.54\00:26:22.38
Spending some time
with Him. We need a reform.
00:26:22.41\00:26:27.28
God said in these last
days there would be what?
00:26:27.32\00:26:30.39
Would there be a group of people
00:26:30.42\00:26:31.75
that would bring
all of these things
00:26:31.79\00:26:33.15
to the mind of
others, do you remember that?
00:26:33.19\00:26:36.93
See most of the times,
'cause people can't discuss it
00:26:36.96\00:26:38.96
because they
don't read the Word,
00:26:38.99\00:26:40.80
they don't understand the Word.
00:26:40.83\00:26:42.16
This we've read
so, so many times,
00:26:42.20\00:26:43.97
hundreds of
times over the years.
00:26:44.00\00:26:45.33
I'm going to read it
again because it's important,
00:26:45.37\00:26:47.64
if in case you haven't
00:26:47.67\00:26:49.00
or there are people
who listened who haven't.
00:26:49.04\00:26:50.84
You know Revelation 14,
00:26:50.87\00:26:52.61
everybody knows
that verses 6 and 7,
00:26:52.64\00:26:54.74
called the
three angels' message.
00:26:54.78\00:26:57.08
Majority of Christians
today when you challenge them
00:26:57.11\00:26:59.61
with what is the
three angels' message.
00:26:59.65\00:27:02.48
They've never
heard of such a thing,
00:27:02.52\00:27:05.05
never heard a
three angels' message.
00:27:05.09\00:27:07.09
Just as the devil would have it.
00:27:07.12\00:27:09.69
Just as the enemy would have it.
00:27:09.72\00:27:12.09
This is the
last message of mercy
00:27:12.13\00:27:13.93
and warning to go to
world before Jesus comes.
00:27:13.96\00:27:17.33
God said, there
would be a people
00:27:17.37\00:27:19.20
that would rise
up in the last days
00:27:19.23\00:27:22.24
that would proclaim this message
00:27:22.27\00:27:24.47
that I'm talking
to you about today.
00:27:24.51\00:27:27.24
Revelations 14:6,
00:27:27.28\00:27:29.54
"I saw another
angel flying" where?
00:27:29.58\00:27:32.25
"Heaven, having
the everlasting gospel
00:27:32.28\00:27:34.95
to preach to them
that dwell," where?
00:27:34.98\00:27:37.62
What kind of gospel?
00:27:37.65\00:27:39.72
The last gospel of
mercy to go this world,
00:27:39.75\00:27:43.99
and then every nation
is going to hear about it,
00:27:44.03\00:27:46.23
every kindred, every tongue,
every people and remember
00:27:46.26\00:27:49.70
that's not for you to
figure out how's it's done,
00:27:49.73\00:27:51.63
God's already
got it figured out.
00:27:51.67\00:27:53.44
He just said,
it's going to happen,
00:27:53.47\00:27:55.04
that's by faith we accept it.
00:27:55.07\00:27:56.40
Verse 7,
00:27:56.44\00:27:57.77
"Saying with a
loud voice," do what?
00:27:57.81\00:27:59.64
Here's what this voice will say,
00:27:59.67\00:28:01.38
what is this angel,
what does angel represent?
00:28:01.41\00:28:03.85
Messenger.
00:28:03.88\00:28:05.21
It means a messenger,
necessarily angels themselves,
00:28:05.25\00:28:07.68
but you as mankind, messenger,
00:28:07.72\00:28:10.69
they're flying,
they're going at swift speed
00:28:10.72\00:28:12.82
around the world as we
feel in, you know, in 3ABN,
00:28:12.85\00:28:15.62
if you talk about it here,
00:28:15.66\00:28:16.99
you know, less
than half a second
00:28:17.03\00:28:19.19
it goes around the world,
that's quite speedy, right,
00:28:19.23\00:28:23.06
travels 22, 500 miles into space
00:28:23.10\00:28:25.57
and back down in
less than half a second.
00:28:25.60\00:28:27.54
It's amazing.
00:28:27.57\00:28:29.64
This is one of
the signs that said
00:28:29.67\00:28:31.21
and that what God has
raised up in the last days
00:28:31.24\00:28:33.68
will be giving this message
00:28:33.71\00:28:35.91
that I'm talking about right now
00:28:35.94\00:28:37.75
to warn the world
00:28:37.78\00:28:39.75
because it's talking
about, notice what it says,
00:28:39.78\00:28:41.62
and here's' what
they'll be talking about,
00:28:41.65\00:28:43.69
"Fear God and give glory to Him,
00:28:43.72\00:28:46.89
for the hour of
His judgment has come.
00:28:46.92\00:28:49.62
Worship Him that made heaven,
00:28:49.66\00:28:51.93
and earth, the sea, and
the fountains of water."
00:28:51.96\00:28:54.30
See the first angel's
message is to fear God.
00:28:54.33\00:28:58.50
See, we're not fearing
God, we have no reverence,
00:28:58.53\00:29:00.47
no respect for God,
we've thrown Him out.
00:29:00.50\00:29:03.57
And it's said
here in the God's Word,
00:29:03.61\00:29:04.94
"In the judgment hour,"
00:29:04.97\00:29:06.74
We realize we've
in the judgment hour
00:29:06.78\00:29:08.61
since 1844, do we not?
00:29:08.64\00:29:11.51
That's the Bible
prophecy, Daniel 8:14,
00:29:11.55\00:29:13.72
we have to realize
00:29:13.75\00:29:15.08
we know where we're
at in the stream of time
00:29:15.12\00:29:16.99
because God has
made it available to us.
00:29:17.02\00:29:18.95
We understand
00:29:18.99\00:29:20.49
we're in the
judgment hour right now.
00:29:20.52\00:29:22.32
And He said, while
we're in the judgment hour,
00:29:22.36\00:29:24.13
these last day
people, these angels
00:29:24.16\00:29:26.49
as they were
represented here, why?
00:29:26.53\00:29:29.43
Revelation is the book
full of symbols, is it not?
00:29:29.46\00:29:32.83
Symbolism, you
know, we're talking about
00:29:32.87\00:29:34.24
beast coming out of
the water and beast here,
00:29:34.27\00:29:35.84
they all represent something
00:29:35.87\00:29:37.21
and the Bible tells
you what they represent,
00:29:37.24\00:29:39.07
so you have to follow that down.
00:29:39.11\00:29:41.28
But this messengers are going
to proclaim a specific message,
00:29:41.31\00:29:46.55
and notice how it says here,
00:29:46.58\00:29:47.92
not only we're
living in the what?
00:29:47.95\00:29:50.09
The judgment hour, 1884,
00:29:50.12\00:29:52.69
door of
probation is soon to close,
00:29:52.72\00:29:54.79
Jesus is coming.
00:29:54.82\00:29:56.16
Notice this here,
00:29:56.19\00:29:57.53
but also what are
they going to be saying.
00:29:57.56\00:29:59.29
Worship Him, so
there's a call then,
00:29:59.33\00:30:01.86
the people will be saying
00:30:01.90\00:30:03.26
we need to go back
and worship the Creator,
00:30:03.30\00:30:06.50
the one who made what?
00:30:06.53\00:30:08.20
Heaven and earth, and
if we go back and worship
00:30:08.24\00:30:10.71
the one who made
heaven, and earth, and the sea,
00:30:10.74\00:30:12.31
you go back to creation.
00:30:12.34\00:30:13.91
And when you go
back to creation,
00:30:13.94\00:30:15.28
you go back to what?
00:30:15.31\00:30:16.64
Creation week, and you go
back to the seventh day Sabbath.
00:30:16.68\00:30:19.48
He's calling the
world back to keep His day,
00:30:19.51\00:30:23.59
not Adventist day, or
Baptist day, or whoever day.
00:30:23.62\00:30:28.89
It's not their
day, it's His day.
00:30:28.92\00:30:31.56
That's what the Bible said.
00:30:31.59\00:30:32.93
It's the Sabbath
of the Lord thy God.
00:30:32.96\00:30:35.36
See, we need to
quit looking at it,
00:30:35.40\00:30:36.73
well, this denomination's day,
00:30:36.77\00:30:38.13
or these people have
third day has nothing to do.
00:30:38.17\00:30:40.47
He made the days, they are His.
00:30:40.50\00:30:42.84
He specified which day is holy
00:30:42.87\00:30:45.47
and then He
challenges you and me
00:30:45.51\00:30:47.01
if we are loyal and obedient
to accept what He has said.
00:30:47.04\00:30:51.05
Think about it.
00:30:51.08\00:30:52.41
This is all
test, this is the test
00:30:52.45\00:30:55.12
if you really love Him or not.
00:30:55.15\00:30:57.39
I mean how far
does this message go.
00:30:57.42\00:31:01.69
Three angels'
message goes how far?
00:31:01.72\00:31:04.13
World wide message, you
know what it's saying here,
00:31:04.16\00:31:06.70
the whole word, angels
flying in the midst of heaven,
00:31:06.73\00:31:09.56
voices going all over.
00:31:09.60\00:31:10.93
Everybody have the opportunity
to hear, every nation, kindred,
00:31:10.97\00:31:13.07
tongue, and people,
00:31:13.10\00:31:14.44
and they're going
to be hearing about
00:31:14.47\00:31:15.80
go back to the one
00:31:15.84\00:31:17.17
who made heaven
and earth, the Creator.
00:31:17.21\00:31:19.44
The seventh day Sabbath,
00:31:19.47\00:31:21.74
every person had the
opportunity to hear it,
00:31:21.78\00:31:26.68
they become accountable for it,
00:31:26.72\00:31:28.92
become responsible
when you hear this message.
00:31:28.95\00:31:32.15
And when you
close your ears to it,
00:31:32.19\00:31:33.52
you've had the opportunity,
you are still accountable.
00:31:33.56\00:31:36.42
We need to get
with the programmer
00:31:36.46\00:31:37.79
and say, well,
I don't understand
00:31:37.83\00:31:39.16
all that well.
00:31:39.19\00:31:40.53
There's no reason for
us not to study and say,
00:31:40.56\00:31:41.90
I want to know.
00:31:41.93\00:31:43.26
Whether I do it or
not, that's up to you,
00:31:43.30\00:31:46.03
but you owe it to
yourself and you owe it to God
00:31:46.07\00:31:49.84
because God has said,
00:31:49.87\00:31:51.31
I want to know what truth is.
00:31:51.34\00:31:56.44
Most people don't want to know
00:31:56.48\00:31:57.81
'cause they're afraid it
might change their little life.
00:31:57.85\00:32:00.98
You know, most
of our little lives
00:32:01.02\00:32:02.35
are coming to an
end, believe it or not.
00:32:02.38\00:32:04.55
We don't have that much time
00:32:04.59\00:32:05.92
may be left here on this planet,
00:32:05.95\00:32:07.29
one way or another.
00:32:07.32\00:32:08.66
So it would be a
good time to gear up do
00:32:08.69\00:32:11.06
what God says to do.
00:32:11.09\00:32:12.63
So this group of people
00:32:12.66\00:32:14.00
will be
proclaiming the judgment hour,
00:32:14.03\00:32:15.76
right, the Sabbath
message going back to Creator,
00:32:15.80\00:32:18.23
they're going to be
going world wide with it,
00:32:18.27\00:32:21.24
and what are they called to do?
00:32:21.27\00:32:22.84
Just what we said.
00:32:22.87\00:32:24.21
The whole world
is called to fear God
00:32:24.24\00:32:26.37
and give glory to Him.
00:32:26.41\00:32:28.61
And the way you give
glory to Him is what?
00:32:28.64\00:32:30.68
Is rightly representing
Him even in character.
00:32:30.71\00:32:34.42
That's giving glory to Him.
00:32:34.45\00:32:38.55
Man, you think about what,
00:32:38.59\00:32:40.06
you know, special
reason for this is,
00:32:40.09\00:32:43.12
is because it is
the judgment hour.
00:32:43.16\00:32:45.86
Because after
there is a judgment
00:32:45.89\00:32:47.60
there is a scene
in the Book of Daniel
00:32:47.63\00:32:50.07
where it says
the angels all come,
00:32:50.10\00:32:51.50
you know, and God comes
in and He is seated down,
00:32:51.53\00:32:54.60
you know, when Jesus comes in,
00:32:54.64\00:32:55.97
And, man, ten thousand times
ten thousands of thousands,
00:32:56.00\00:32:58.87
that's a court scene.
00:32:58.91\00:33:01.84
The judgment hour,
00:33:01.88\00:33:03.21
and the Bible said
the books are opened, why?
00:33:03.24\00:33:06.18
Because there
is a book of deeds,
00:33:06.21\00:33:07.55
and a book of
remembrance, and a book of life.
00:33:07.58\00:33:09.92
Everything is
recorded, sister Marlene,
00:33:09.95\00:33:12.05
every word, every thought,
00:33:12.09\00:33:13.42
every deed, every
act, there's no mistake.
00:33:13.46\00:33:16.99
No one, oh, no,
he will burn in hell
00:33:17.03\00:33:18.66
because there was a mistake,
there'd not be any mistake.
00:33:18.69\00:33:22.90
But everything is recorded
and the motives of the heart.
00:33:22.93\00:33:25.93
And that's all brought
in as it were in a trial
00:33:25.97\00:33:28.37
that we can understand.
00:33:28.40\00:33:29.90
So we give that
to the world to say,
00:33:29.94\00:33:31.57
you know, we're right now,
we're in that judgment hour.
00:33:31.61\00:33:35.58
We're called to worship
Him that made heaven and earth.
00:33:35.61\00:33:40.75
We have to realize
that there's only one gospel
00:33:40.78\00:33:43.18
and certainly we
look at Jesus Christ.
00:33:43.22\00:33:44.95
I wish we had time.
00:33:44.99\00:33:46.32
May be we'd just look at,
00:33:46.35\00:33:47.69
look at Romans
with me, Romans 1.
00:33:47.72\00:33:50.03
I have heard a
lot of people say,
00:33:50.06\00:33:51.39
well, I'm not sure
what the gospel is,
00:33:51.43\00:33:52.76
I'm not sure what we, you know.
00:33:52.79\00:33:54.43
But, you know, if we
just turn to the Word of God,
00:33:54.46\00:33:56.13
the Word of God
will tell, Romans 1,
00:33:56.16\00:33:58.23
if you have your
Bibles, Romans 1.
00:33:58.27\00:34:00.24
If you don't have your Bibles,
then you need to get one.
00:34:00.27\00:34:02.50
Romans 1:16-17,
00:34:02.54\00:34:07.64
you remember what
was going on here,
00:34:07.68\00:34:09.31
it says, starts out,
00:34:09.34\00:34:10.68
"For I'm not ashamed
of the gospel of," what?
00:34:10.71\00:34:14.32
God. So the gospel is what?
00:34:14.35\00:34:16.82
Really the gospel is what?
00:34:16.85\00:34:18.35
The gospel of Jesus
Christ, the gospel of salvation,
00:34:18.39\00:34:23.32
the plan of salvation.
00:34:23.36\00:34:24.86
I'm not ashamed of the
gospel of Jesus Christ,
00:34:24.89\00:34:28.86
for it is the
power of God unto what?
00:34:28.90\00:34:31.40
Salvation.
00:34:31.43\00:34:32.77
The gospel then
deals with salvation,
00:34:32.80\00:34:34.24
you know what it said,
but you have to believe,
00:34:34.27\00:34:36.94
you notice, to the Jew
first and also to the Greek,
00:34:36.97\00:34:40.41
"For there in is
the righteousness
00:34:40.44\00:34:42.21
of God revealed
from faith to faith,"
00:34:42.24\00:34:45.31
and is written, "The
just shall live by faith."
00:34:45.35\00:34:47.95
No working your way in, is it?
00:34:47.98\00:34:50.12
Heaven is by faith, by
faith and trust in Him.
00:34:50.15\00:34:53.59
You know by grace are
you saved through faith,
00:34:53.62\00:34:56.76
gospel of Jesus Christ.
00:34:56.79\00:34:58.59
And when you have time,
Galatians 1:8, read that also.
00:34:58.63\00:35:02.76
You know this same message
that I'm talking about here
00:35:02.80\00:35:05.73
was announced in
the Garden of Eden
00:35:05.77\00:35:08.00
in Genesis 3:15.
00:35:08.04\00:35:10.61
The plan of
salvation were it talked about
00:35:10.64\00:35:12.64
the bruising of the head,
00:35:12.67\00:35:14.01
you remember, the
serpent, and then the heel.
00:35:14.04\00:35:16.58
Right then, God was announcing
right then the gospel,
00:35:16.61\00:35:20.28
salvation, the power,
there's hope for mankind,
00:35:20.32\00:35:23.22
there's going to be
00:35:23.25\00:35:24.59
another opportunity for mankind.
00:35:24.62\00:35:26.79
How wonderful, how good,
00:35:26.82\00:35:28.19
how big, and
merciful, and wonderful,
00:35:28.22\00:35:30.39
and kind that God is to look
00:35:30.43\00:35:32.23
at somebody like
me down here and say,
00:35:32.26\00:35:34.93
"I want him to
have another chance."
00:35:34.96\00:35:36.40
Why?
00:35:36.43\00:35:37.77
Because I failed
the first chance,
00:35:37.80\00:35:39.67
and we're just
using one, two here,
00:35:39.70\00:35:41.30
not thousands of them.
00:35:41.34\00:35:42.67
But I failed the first one,
00:35:42.70\00:35:44.04
He said, "I want Kenny
to have another chance.
00:35:44.07\00:35:45.64
I want Brother Mark
to have another chance."
00:35:45.67\00:35:47.58
Man, I tell you,
I want Brother Mark
00:35:47.61\00:35:49.21
to spend eternity with me.
00:35:49.24\00:35:50.61
Heaven just won't be the same
00:35:50.65\00:35:51.98
if Brother Mark's
not up here with me.
00:35:52.01\00:35:53.58
See that's how God
thinks about each one of us.
00:35:53.62\00:35:56.48
Heaven just won't be
the same if we're not there.
00:35:56.52\00:35:59.02
And everybody sinned
and everybody come short,
00:35:59.05\00:36:01.32
we're all in the death penalty.
00:36:01.36\00:36:02.86
And He said, there
has to be another chance.
00:36:02.89\00:36:06.56
And Jesus said, the only
way they get the chance is what?
00:36:06.59\00:36:10.30
If I die for them.
00:36:10.33\00:36:11.83
If I come and
live the perfect life,
00:36:11.87\00:36:14.94
but if I fouled it up,
00:36:14.97\00:36:16.30
I'm lost and they're lost
too and this world is lost,
00:36:16.34\00:36:19.84
everything in this
little world is lost.
00:36:19.87\00:36:23.08
It's going to be
devil's playground.
00:36:23.11\00:36:26.65
And Jesus said,
I'll not have it,
00:36:26.68\00:36:28.85
I'm paraphrasing for
you if you don't mind,
00:36:28.88\00:36:30.22
I'm not going to have it.
00:36:30.25\00:36:33.86
By the grace of God, He
lived the righteous life,
00:36:33.89\00:36:36.79
He emptied himself of self
and was filled with the Father.
00:36:36.83\00:36:40.86
"When you have seen Me,
you have seen the Father."
00:36:40.90\00:36:44.60
Didn't really see,
you think about it.
00:36:44.63\00:36:45.97
We've seen Jesus,
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus did this.
00:36:46.00\00:36:48.54
What you're seeing everything
He did, you've seen the Father.
00:36:48.57\00:36:52.04
If you want to
know who the Father.
00:36:52.07\00:36:53.41
Well, He is gruff and He is...
00:36:53.44\00:36:54.78
Remember how they always,
Israel was afraid of God.
00:36:54.81\00:36:58.31
Jesus said, "if
you have seen Me,
00:36:58.35\00:37:00.72
you have seen the Father."
00:37:00.75\00:37:02.45
How wonderful that is to know
00:37:02.48\00:37:03.92
the Father has
that kind of love too.
00:37:03.95\00:37:05.82
And how He says,
00:37:05.85\00:37:07.19
when you live the
life and you accept My Son,
00:37:07.22\00:37:09.36
He said I love you
as I love My own Son.
00:37:09.39\00:37:12.39
Wow, what love.
00:37:12.43\00:37:15.10
But it would be hard
for us to understand.
00:37:15.13\00:37:19.07
We're called to worship Him.
00:37:19.10\00:37:22.14
Remember the
gospel of Jesus Christ.
00:37:22.17\00:37:25.24
This same gospel
was preached to Abraham.
00:37:25.27\00:37:28.38
See with that all,
it's a new gospel now,
00:37:28.41\00:37:30.38
it's a new dispensation,
it's a new age right now.
00:37:30.41\00:37:33.31
The same thing that
started in the Garden of Eden,
00:37:33.35\00:37:36.22
dear friends, is the same thing
that was preached to Abraham.
00:37:36.25\00:37:39.02
Read Galatians 3:8,
00:37:39.05\00:37:40.96
we can't read it out now
00:37:40.99\00:37:42.32
because of our time,
but just jot it down.
00:37:42.36\00:37:44.49
And the same gospel
message was preached to Israel.
00:37:44.53\00:37:48.50
Hebrews 4:1-2,
please keep that in mind.
00:37:48.53\00:37:52.80
It was proclaimed to
every generation since,
00:37:52.83\00:37:56.44
the same gospel message.
00:37:56.47\00:37:59.07
John the Baptist was a preacher.
00:37:59.11\00:38:01.84
Man, could he
preach, could he not?
00:38:01.88\00:38:04.75
He captivated the hearts
and the minds of the people.
00:38:04.78\00:38:07.62
He could preach a
message, brought conviction.
00:38:07.65\00:38:11.42
Hey, what message did he preach?
00:38:11.45\00:38:14.06
Could you say it was the gospel?
00:38:14.09\00:38:16.62
He preached the
gospel but what he preached?
00:38:16.66\00:38:19.19
He said the
kingdom of God is at...
00:38:19.23\00:38:21.80
Matthew 3,
00:38:21.83\00:38:23.16
"The kingdom of God is at hand."
00:38:23.20\00:38:25.80
He was saying right
then, Jesus when He said,
00:38:25.83\00:38:28.00
He didn't say the
coming of Jesus a second time,
00:38:28.04\00:38:30.64
it was a coming of Jesus, what?
00:38:30.67\00:38:32.84
Why preach the
second coming of Jesus
00:38:32.87\00:38:34.68
when He hadn't come the
first time at that point.
00:38:34.71\00:38:36.78
He is preaching the coming,
00:38:36.81\00:38:38.15
the first
coming of Jesus Christ.
00:38:38.18\00:38:40.42
His kingdom of heaven is
at hand, and he said what?
00:38:40.45\00:38:45.85
Repent, repent,
00:38:45.89\00:38:49.09
he was preparing the way
00:38:49.12\00:38:50.96
for the second advent
00:38:50.99\00:38:52.53
in John 1:22-23.
00:38:52.56\00:38:57.37
And notice after
John came preaching
00:38:57.40\00:38:59.27
and teaching repentance,
what gospel did Jesus preach?
00:38:59.30\00:39:03.17
He preached the
same gospel message
00:39:03.20\00:39:06.07
but He preached a
definite time period.
00:39:06.11\00:39:09.68
He preached the time period
00:39:09.71\00:39:11.05
we call the,
Daniel 8:14, 2300 days,
00:39:11.08\00:39:14.42
but he referred
to the first what?
00:39:14.45\00:39:16.82
483 year
prophecy of Daniel 9:25,
00:39:16.85\00:39:21.99
the 69 weeks
00:39:22.02\00:39:23.69
because it
pointed to the Messiah.
00:39:23.73\00:39:26.70
Does that makes sense,
church? Jesus preached it what?
00:39:26.73\00:39:30.33
The time, the
gospel, it's coming.
00:39:30.37\00:39:33.23
So after 69 weeks, you see. How?
00:39:33.27\00:39:37.47
From the baptism of
Jesus in 27 AD, right?
00:39:37.51\00:39:42.01
The cross, 31 AD.
00:39:42.04\00:39:44.71
Stoning of Stephen,
message to the gentile
00:39:44.75\00:39:46.88
and Paul taking in 34 AD.
00:39:46.92\00:39:48.85
See, you can
follow these things.
00:39:48.88\00:39:50.82
There's 1810 years left,
00:39:50.85\00:39:52.42
add 34, 18, 10, my
lands of love at 1844,
00:39:52.45\00:39:56.62
the judgment hour began.
00:39:56.66\00:40:00.43
And only in
God's mercy and grace
00:40:00.46\00:40:01.86
that this world
is still going on
00:40:01.90\00:40:03.47
because there is somebody
yet that's gonna accept Him.
00:40:03.50\00:40:08.27
He will keep that
door of probation open
00:40:08.30\00:40:10.37
if there is just
one more out there.
00:40:10.41\00:40:13.44
And I brought in
the lesson today,
00:40:13.48\00:40:14.81
what it's talking
about, whether it be 50,
00:40:14.84\00:40:17.11
whether it be
20, whether it be 10,
00:40:17.15\00:40:18.58
whether it be, oh, would be one.
00:40:18.61\00:40:21.35
He said, if there'd be one,
00:40:21.38\00:40:22.72
I'll hold that door open
just a little bit longer,
00:40:22.75\00:40:25.29
and that one may be you and me.
00:40:25.32\00:40:27.42
It may be us here
because we think we've got it,
00:40:27.46\00:40:30.23
but we've really haven't got it.
00:40:30.26\00:40:32.53
We think we're doing
somewhat the right thing,
00:40:32.56\00:40:34.30
but we know there's some changes
00:40:34.33\00:40:35.66
that need to take place.
00:40:35.70\00:40:38.20
But think what
goes on day after day
00:40:38.23\00:40:40.94
when we refuse to
come to the cross,
00:40:40.97\00:40:43.10
maybe we will later on
00:40:43.14\00:40:44.91
and He's holding that door open.
00:40:44.94\00:40:46.27
Can you think of all
the murders, the rapes,
00:40:46.31\00:40:47.78
and all the
stuff that's going on,
00:40:47.81\00:40:49.14
starvation, the beating,
00:40:49.18\00:40:50.58
the abuse that goes on
in the world every 24 hours,
00:40:50.61\00:40:53.72
it's unbelievable,
00:40:53.75\00:40:55.55
Only God of mercy and compassion
00:40:55.58\00:40:58.62
that understands
the worth of a soul
00:40:58.65\00:41:01.69
can continue to let it go on.
00:41:01.72\00:41:03.59
He'd be right, He'd to me,
00:41:03.63\00:41:06.19
still would be faithful
to say I call it quits today.
00:41:06.23\00:41:08.76
The world's just too
mean. The world's brutal.
00:41:12.13\00:41:16.44
Lots of innocent people,
good people getting hurt...
00:41:16.47\00:41:18.84
But He won't do it.
00:41:22.24\00:41:24.91
He's waiting for you and
He's waiting maybe for me.
00:41:24.95\00:41:30.12
But when Jesus came,
00:41:30.15\00:41:31.49
He called the
people to repentance,
00:41:31.52\00:41:34.16
the same thing, He
called them to repentance.
00:41:34.19\00:41:38.69
I believe the time
of judgment is here.
00:41:38.73\00:41:42.40
The second coming of
Christ is around the corner.
00:41:42.43\00:41:46.70
Now you don't have
time to finish it today
00:41:46.74\00:41:48.30
so I will finish
it the next time.
00:41:48.34\00:41:50.21
I always like to
have that out there,
00:41:50.24\00:41:52.67
because there's too much
00:41:52.71\00:41:54.04
to what we're
talking about here.
00:41:54.08\00:41:56.21
The world wide
announcement of the three angels
00:41:56.24\00:41:59.21
is going in
full force right now.
00:41:59.25\00:42:03.28
And it's going to be united
with that Revelations 18 angel,
00:42:03.32\00:42:06.42
that fourth angel.
00:42:06.45\00:42:08.62
People are
going to be convicted,
00:42:08.66\00:42:10.03
they're going to be converted.
00:42:10.06\00:42:11.39
The world is going to change.
00:42:11.43\00:42:12.76
There will be a
few that will change.
00:42:12.79\00:42:16.46
There no longer just
be ho-hum, go to church.
00:42:16.50\00:42:19.13
The church pew should be filled.
00:42:19.17\00:42:22.90
People could only realize
00:42:22.94\00:42:24.27
how close we are
to the end of time.
00:42:24.31\00:42:26.44
They wouldn't worry
about all the other foolishness
00:42:26.47\00:42:28.64
that's going on in the world.
00:42:28.68\00:42:30.18
All the excuses
they're made by the thousands,
00:42:30.21\00:42:32.98
because somebody
kept me from church.
00:42:33.01\00:42:34.65
Somebody said,
00:42:34.68\00:42:36.02
well, you need to
do this or that today.
00:42:36.05\00:42:37.65
That friend say,
look I'm going to church
00:42:37.69\00:42:39.55
and then I'll go
and I'll help you.
00:42:39.59\00:42:43.39
That's a commitment.
00:42:43.43\00:42:44.76
I mean how many times you
think Jesus didn't go to church
00:42:44.79\00:42:46.76
because somebody
wanted Him to go with them
00:42:46.80\00:42:50.50
to circus or something.
00:42:50.53\00:42:52.27
Somebody is not with me.
00:42:52.30\00:42:55.04
Never. Never.
00:42:55.07\00:42:57.97
The Bible said His custom was,
that's exactly what it means,
00:42:58.01\00:43:02.28
that was His
habit, that was weekly,
00:43:02.31\00:43:04.68
that's what He always did.
00:43:04.71\00:43:09.18
We live in that hour,
00:43:09.22\00:43:10.79
the closing hour
of earth's history
00:43:10.82\00:43:12.29
and we need a reaffirmation
as far as I'm concerned.
00:43:12.32\00:43:17.63
I wish we had time and
we will next time to read,
00:43:17.66\00:43:20.36
certainly the
most famous passages
00:43:20.40\00:43:22.80
as far as I'm concerned
that people know, Isaiah 58,
00:43:22.83\00:43:26.37
when God said
00:43:26.40\00:43:27.80
even His church
needs a reaffirmation.
00:43:27.84\00:43:31.67
He's calling us back.
Why is He calling us back?
00:43:31.71\00:43:35.14
Because the world is
making fun of His day.
00:43:35.18\00:43:38.81
The world is rejecting His day
00:43:38.85\00:43:41.28
that He says this is My day
00:43:41.32\00:43:43.42
and they're saying,
no, I've got a substitute.
00:43:43.45\00:43:46.32
This is my day. No,
I'll keep any day I want.
00:43:46.35\00:43:49.79
This is My day, God says,
00:43:49.82\00:43:52.63
and people say
it doesn't matter.
00:43:52.66\00:43:56.06
We must not have any
idea who we are dealing with.
00:43:56.10\00:44:00.87
Why this message now?
00:44:00.90\00:44:03.61
Why is it given now?
00:44:03.64\00:44:07.88
Most Christians
today challenge it
00:44:13.85\00:44:16.69
or most Christians today
00:44:16.72\00:44:18.62
calling the seventh day
Sabbath holy and honorable.
00:44:18.65\00:44:24.03
No, they're not.
00:44:24.06\00:44:25.39
But the Bible said,
it's holy and it's honorable.
00:44:25.43\00:44:28.73
It's called holy and
it is honorable, why?
00:44:28.76\00:44:31.53
Because it's His
day and He is in it.
00:44:31.57\00:44:33.67
And if He is in it,
it's holy and it's honorable.
00:44:33.70\00:44:38.57
He's not in any
other day spiritually like
00:44:38.61\00:44:42.94
He is the seventh day, why?
00:44:42.98\00:44:44.61
Because He said so.
00:44:44.65\00:44:48.75
Think about it,
because He said it,
00:44:48.78\00:44:50.35
why don't we just
say because He said it.
00:44:50.39\00:44:53.52
There is no substitute.
00:44:53.56\00:44:54.89
The only substitute is
what the enemy has done,
00:44:54.92\00:44:57.69
and did it through the papacy,
there's no doubt about it.
00:44:57.73\00:44:59.63
If we need to
talk more about it,
00:44:59.66\00:45:01.00
we'll talk more about it.
00:45:01.03\00:45:02.46
He said, I'm going to
call a group of people back
00:45:02.50\00:45:04.60
because it's not honorable
00:45:04.63\00:45:06.43
and it's not
called holy anymore.
00:45:06.47\00:45:08.24
It's not called My day anymore.
00:45:08.27\00:45:10.04
It's man's day
through tradition,
00:45:10.07\00:45:13.07
through false doctrines,
00:45:13.11\00:45:14.44
and false
teachings of the world today.
00:45:14.48\00:45:16.41
And God just simply
says, I won't have it.
00:45:16.44\00:45:20.22
And as His mouth piece today,
00:45:20.25\00:45:21.58
we say we are
not going to have it.
00:45:21.62\00:45:26.19
We are going to
speak up against it.
00:45:26.22\00:45:29.22
We shall not remain silent.
00:45:29.26\00:45:31.96
When God says to
His last day people,
00:45:31.99\00:45:33.90
He said Isaiah 61 and
to cry aloud and do what?
00:45:33.93\00:45:37.07
And spare not, show My
people, show My people.
00:45:37.10\00:45:41.27
He didn't say show the world.
00:45:41.30\00:45:42.64
He said show My people,
00:45:42.67\00:45:46.51
sinning and transgression.
00:45:46.54\00:45:47.94
Show them, cry
aloud and spare not.
00:45:47.98\00:45:50.35
You think people won't
hear somebody crying aloud,
00:45:50.38\00:45:52.15
even maybe like today
some people say, oh, no,
00:45:52.18\00:45:54.65
you know,
there's no use for people
00:45:54.68\00:45:56.42
to write for me and say,
00:45:56.45\00:45:57.99
you know, you
need to tone it down,
00:45:58.02\00:45:59.35
you need not get excited.
00:45:59.39\00:46:00.72
Just don't.
00:46:00.76\00:46:02.09
I'm not trying
to be ugly about it,
00:46:02.12\00:46:03.79
but my Bible says,
00:46:03.83\00:46:05.16
cry aloud and spare
not, this is urgent times,
00:46:05.19\00:46:07.96
there is a fire,
there's death, do you get it.
00:46:08.00\00:46:11.23
People are going to be
dying by the tens of thousands,
00:46:11.27\00:46:13.44
going to Christless graves today
00:46:13.47\00:46:15.40
because I didn't do my part,
00:46:15.44\00:46:17.41
I don't want
that to ever be again.
00:46:17.44\00:46:21.84
That means all of your family,
00:46:21.88\00:46:23.31
your family, my
family, all the others,
00:46:23.35\00:46:25.55
this message goes to
them as well as it goes to us.
00:46:25.58\00:46:28.55
We are sitting here and say,
well, we've got this message.
00:46:28.58\00:46:31.92
You might understand
it but are you living it?
00:46:31.95\00:46:34.02
Is it changing your
heart? Is it changing your life?
00:46:34.06\00:46:36.29
Do you really realize
that your family will be tested
00:46:36.32\00:46:39.49
on exactly what I'm
talking about right here?
00:46:39.53\00:46:42.33
And this test,
well, why are we tested
00:46:42.36\00:46:43.97
on the seventh day Sabbath?
00:46:44.00\00:46:45.33
Because that's the only
one the world feels at liberty
00:46:45.37\00:46:47.47
to tear out and
say it doesn't matter.
00:46:47.50\00:46:51.37
We wouldn't be
talking about the Sabbath
00:46:51.41\00:46:52.74
if people were
keeping the Sabbath.
00:46:52.77\00:46:54.28
If everybody was
a thief and a robber
00:46:54.31\00:46:55.91
I would be talking about
thieves and robbers up here.
00:46:55.94\00:46:58.41
Are you with me?
00:46:58.45\00:46:59.78
James 2:10-12, if
you offend at one point,
00:46:59.81\00:47:02.05
you are guilty of all.
00:47:02.08\00:47:03.49
I mean let's nail it down,
let's not fool around with it.
00:47:03.52\00:47:06.19
Well, it's not
just what we want to do
00:47:06.22\00:47:07.62
because this is what we do.
00:47:07.66\00:47:10.06
It's in the Word
of God, I don't mind,
00:47:10.09\00:47:11.43
I'd keep Tuesday if
He said keep Tuesday.
00:47:11.46\00:47:13.90
Now is anybody with me?
00:47:13.93\00:47:15.50
See if I had to keep Wednesday,
I would keep Wednesday.
00:47:15.53\00:47:17.63
It doesn't matter to me
as long as what God says,
00:47:17.67\00:47:20.27
but He didn't say that.
00:47:20.30\00:47:21.97
Seventh day is a
Sabbath of the Lord thy God.
00:47:22.00\00:47:24.24
Never any other day,
00:47:24.27\00:47:25.61
just might as well
get it through our mind.
00:47:25.64\00:47:28.08
And for somebody to come to
me, I've said so many times,
00:47:28.11\00:47:30.41
I've had to pray
not to lay hands.
00:47:30.45\00:47:32.71
Somebody pray for me.
00:47:32.75\00:47:34.98
They say, well,
yeah, well, Jesus,
00:47:35.02\00:47:36.45
well He kept that
old Jewish Sabbath.
00:47:36.48\00:47:40.02
Anybody ever heard of that?
00:47:40.06\00:47:41.72
Well, He wasn't an old Jew.
00:47:41.76\00:47:44.36
Be careful how you
address the Son of God.
00:47:44.39\00:47:47.30
That's what they say,
well, He's just an old Jew,
00:47:47.33\00:47:48.76
He just kept the
old Jewish Sabbath.
00:47:48.80\00:47:51.03
Bible says it's
holy and it's honorable.
00:47:51.07\00:47:53.80
It's holy and
just and it's good,
00:47:53.84\00:47:55.90
ain't that what it says.
00:47:55.94\00:47:57.67
Romans talks about the
law, and God is the author of,
00:47:57.71\00:48:01.21
it's holy, it's just, it's good.
00:48:01.24\00:48:03.41
Spiritual Roman talks about,
00:48:03.45\00:48:05.71
so how can
something spiritual be bad.
00:48:05.75\00:48:08.35
How can something
spiritual been a lie,
00:48:08.38\00:48:10.42
be changed, it can't be.
00:48:10.45\00:48:13.25
Man be careful by
saying the old Jewish.
00:48:13.29\00:48:17.26
We realize lot of things
00:48:17.29\00:48:18.63
they do we don't
really appreciate
00:48:18.66\00:48:20.10
but we appreciate Jesus.
00:48:20.13\00:48:22.00
We appreciate His example.
00:48:22.03\00:48:25.37
Jesus saw us as we close
00:48:25.40\00:48:27.00
how it was going to
be in these last days.
00:48:27.04\00:48:31.47
And He inspired
through the Holy Spirit,
00:48:31.51\00:48:34.18
the prophets of old to
write these things down,
00:48:34.21\00:48:40.32
so that we need not be fooled.
00:48:40.35\00:48:44.59
Many people He knew
00:48:44.62\00:48:45.95
would be trampling upon His law,
00:48:45.99\00:48:48.19
trampling upon His Sabbath
day which He has made so plain.
00:48:48.22\00:48:54.93
Doing their own
pleasure He said on My holy day.
00:48:54.96\00:48:59.63
Man, if that's not a
rebuke, what is, when He said,
00:48:59.67\00:49:01.54
why you're doing
your own pleasure
00:49:01.57\00:49:02.90
on My holy day.
00:49:02.94\00:49:04.81
And He has every right
to say that if He wants to.
00:49:04.84\00:49:08.44
He created you, Brother
Mark, He can say what He wants.
00:49:08.48\00:49:10.58
I'm not trying
to say He did ugly,
00:49:10.61\00:49:12.21
He showed how much He loves
you 'cause Calvary proves that.
00:49:12.25\00:49:15.48
So when He
comes to you and says,
00:49:15.52\00:49:16.85
man, what are you doing?
00:49:16.89\00:49:18.99
I have told you
right here through the Word
00:49:19.02\00:49:20.76
how I want you to observe it.
00:49:20.79\00:49:22.99
And if you'll observe
it I know it's a test.
00:49:23.02\00:49:25.59
And you're going to prove
00:49:25.63\00:49:26.96
whether you love Me
or you love the world.
00:49:27.00\00:49:29.93
It's a test.
00:49:29.96\00:49:31.50
And most of the world
is going to flunk the test
00:49:31.53\00:49:33.37
because they just love
00:49:33.40\00:49:34.74
what they are
doing in the world.
00:49:34.77\00:49:36.27
He said keep it holy,
keep in harmony with Me.
00:49:40.78\00:49:44.41
Keep the Sabbath.
00:49:44.45\00:49:45.78
Christ knew the
importance of Sabbath reform,
00:49:50.82\00:49:53.09
and I want us to
be reacquainted again
00:49:53.12\00:49:55.32
and reminded next few times
that we spend here together
00:49:55.36\00:50:00.23
because it is
life and death issue.
00:50:00.26\00:50:04.73
Many times in Sabbath church
00:50:04.77\00:50:06.10
you don't hear a
whole lot on Sabbath,
00:50:06.13\00:50:07.94
about Sabbath
and Sabbath keeping,
00:50:07.97\00:50:10.34
but you know what?
00:50:10.37\00:50:11.71
We should
00:50:11.74\00:50:13.07
because the whole
world is being tested
00:50:13.11\00:50:15.34
on this question.
00:50:15.38\00:50:17.25
The whole world, religious world
00:50:17.28\00:50:19.01
is being
challenged on this subject
00:50:19.05\00:50:21.45
that I'm
talking about right now.
00:50:21.48\00:50:23.79
And every time
they're challenged on it,
00:50:23.82\00:50:25.99
there is no one yet,
be pastor, evangelist,
00:50:26.02\00:50:29.89
doesn't care who
church, what church,
00:50:29.92\00:50:32.16
has able to come up
with one passage, not one,
00:50:32.19\00:50:35.40
I'm not trying to
be smart about it,
00:50:35.43\00:50:37.07
not one that says
00:50:37.10\00:50:39.27
that seventh day
Sabbath has been changed.
00:50:39.30\00:50:41.10
Everything that they
use is out of context
00:50:41.14\00:50:43.54
and referring to the old
ceremonial different laws,
00:50:43.57\00:50:46.81
not the law of God.
00:50:46.84\00:50:48.18
Law of Ten Command,
00:50:48.21\00:50:49.54
law of God cannot be
changed or cannot be altered.
00:50:49.58\00:50:51.68
It's just steady
as holy as God is.
00:50:51.71\00:50:55.08
Think about that,
00:50:58.75\00:51:00.09
down through the ages
00:51:00.12\00:51:01.46
many, many
brilliant men have tried
00:51:01.49\00:51:04.46
to destroy the
seventh day of the week
00:51:04.49\00:51:08.63
by trying to give
some passages out.
00:51:08.66\00:51:11.50
They will use old thing like,
well, it was a school teacher,
00:51:11.53\00:51:13.97
now we, you know, we
went through kindergarten,
00:51:14.00\00:51:16.77
now we don't need
him as it were anymore.
00:51:16.81\00:51:19.31
Didn't mean that all,
00:51:19.34\00:51:20.68
means you got
his school teacher,
00:51:20.71\00:51:22.04
the A-B-C still apply today
if you're 70 or 80 years old.
00:51:22.08\00:51:25.85
1-2-3 still applies, doesn't it?
00:51:25.88\00:51:29.78
All of this still,
everything is still in place.
00:51:29.82\00:51:32.45
You know,
Sabbath and the new moons
00:51:35.52\00:51:38.63
and oh, He's talking
about ceremonial law,
00:51:38.66\00:51:40.96
it has nothing to do
with the seventh day Sabbath,
00:51:41.00\00:51:43.06
the seventh day Sabbath.
00:51:43.10\00:51:44.47
So I'm saying,
friends, we need to be studying
00:51:44.50\00:51:45.97
to show ourselves
approved under God.
00:51:46.00\00:51:49.50
The papacy has done this thing
00:51:49.54\00:51:53.78
and they must be exposed for it.
00:51:53.81\00:51:56.58
You don't have to expose
them, they do it themselves.
00:51:56.61\00:51:59.65
I've never read
anything or I've had emails
00:51:59.68\00:52:01.98
where it says,
that just you made up.
00:52:02.02\00:52:04.79
I always read
from their own writings
00:52:04.82\00:52:08.22
what they say about themselves.
00:52:08.26\00:52:11.49
Does that make sense?
00:52:11.53\00:52:12.86
They've said it,
if they've said it,
00:52:12.89\00:52:14.23
then I feel free
I can say it too.
00:52:14.26\00:52:16.83
And not only that,
00:52:16.87\00:52:18.20
the Bible said they shall think.
00:52:18.23\00:52:19.87
I know who the little horn is.
00:52:19.90\00:52:23.10
I know who the
beast of Revelation 13 is.
00:52:23.14\00:52:26.94
You see, and you do too,
00:52:26.98\00:52:30.61
and it's time that we
just have to let it out.
00:52:30.65\00:52:32.78
And say it be so quick
to save some time to people.
00:52:32.81\00:52:35.32
Well, I hear what you're saying,
00:52:35.35\00:52:37.22
I understand it's
difficult, I understand...
00:52:37.25\00:52:40.46
Listen, it's not
difficult to understand
00:52:40.49\00:52:42.49
the Word of God.
00:52:42.52\00:52:45.86
Would be, and I say this nice,
00:52:45.89\00:52:47.23
it would be a shame on
Jesus to put a death decree
00:52:47.26\00:52:51.17
for breaking His Sabbath
and He hasn't made it plain.
00:52:51.20\00:52:55.34
Wouldn't that be a shame?
00:52:55.37\00:52:57.14
Would He do that to you and me?
00:52:57.17\00:53:01.38
If He made it plain
it His word, then you...
00:53:01.41\00:53:04.31
But put it in there so vague
and no one can figure it out,
00:53:04.35\00:53:06.72
then you're going to die
00:53:06.75\00:53:08.08
if you don't do it and all that.
00:53:08.12\00:53:10.22
No.
00:53:10.25\00:53:11.59
He makes it so simple a
baby, a child can understand it.
00:53:11.62\00:53:15.12
People who have
never been taught
00:53:15.16\00:53:17.59
can just get books
some from other islands
00:53:17.63\00:53:20.33
that we've read before,
00:53:20.36\00:53:22.40
it was never taught
00:53:22.43\00:53:23.77
and all they do is read and say,
00:53:23.80\00:53:25.13
Oh, this is what it means,
00:53:25.17\00:53:26.50
they can figure it
out, we can figure it out.
00:53:26.53\00:53:28.24
Let's ask God to help us.
00:53:28.27\00:53:30.37
We need a reform, we
need to get his message out,
00:53:30.41\00:53:32.54
didn't it, doesn't
need to stay in these walls.
00:53:32.57\00:53:35.18
It's got to go to the
world and let the world hear it
00:53:35.21\00:53:38.65
and let them chose.
00:53:38.68\00:53:40.65
The Bible has already
said what they're going to do,
00:53:40.68\00:53:42.35
but there are still other people
00:53:42.38\00:53:43.72
who will accept it.
00:53:43.75\00:53:45.09
Our job is to make sure
00:53:45.12\00:53:46.89
that they don't come up to
you one of these days and say,
00:53:46.92\00:53:48.69
you knew but you
wouldn't tell us.
00:53:48.72\00:53:52.49
You knew but you
wouldn't say anything
00:53:52.53\00:53:55.33
because you didn't want
to upset the family circle
00:53:55.36\00:53:57.33
or you didn't want to upset
00:53:57.37\00:53:58.70
this one or you didn't
want to upset that one,
00:53:58.73\00:54:00.54
they're lost for
eternity and you are too.
00:54:00.57\00:54:03.44
What possible good?
00:54:03.47\00:54:06.11
Ask God to help us
to be able to do it
00:54:06.14\00:54:07.88
with the love of Christ,
00:54:07.91\00:54:10.45
but as He did it
with all the love
00:54:10.48\00:54:12.41
that could possibly be given,
00:54:12.45\00:54:14.32
they accused Him
of everything else
00:54:14.35\00:54:15.75
and they nailed Him to a cross.
00:54:15.78\00:54:17.69
So some people say,
00:54:17.72\00:54:19.05
well, you know
what Brother Mark,
00:54:19.09\00:54:20.42
if you do it a little different
00:54:20.46\00:54:21.79
I would accept
it, no they won't.
00:54:21.82\00:54:23.16
if your attitude was different,
00:54:23.19\00:54:24.53
I know, there's
adjustments to that,
00:54:24.56\00:54:28.26
but most generally is, if
you want to know the truth,
00:54:28.30\00:54:31.63
God will lead you to someone
00:54:31.67\00:54:33.70
and you'll get to hear that.
00:54:33.74\00:54:35.07
Let's pray that
God will do that,
00:54:35.10\00:54:36.44
that each one of us will say,
00:54:36.47\00:54:37.81
I want to be open,
00:54:37.84\00:54:40.11
if this is
truth, I want to know.
00:54:40.14\00:54:43.88
And if it is, then God
give me the strength to do it
00:54:43.91\00:54:45.71
because right now
00:54:45.75\00:54:47.08
I really don't want
to and may be that way,
00:54:47.12\00:54:48.45
I don't want to.
00:54:48.48\00:54:50.29
I don't want my life to
change but if it is truth,
00:54:50.32\00:54:52.75
I want to know it
00:54:52.79\00:54:54.36
and then give me grace
and strength to follow it.
00:54:54.39\00:54:56.86
And watch what God will do,
00:54:56.89\00:54:59.49
that's where it calls
bringing you out of darkness
00:54:59.53\00:55:01.26
into marvelous light.
00:55:01.30\00:55:05.83

Friends, we want
to hear from you.

If you have questions,
we've got books we can send you
00:55:47.78\00:55:50.85

subject even more clear.

There's several
books that we have on hand,
00:55:54.35\00:55:56.55
just call in and speak
to one of the staff and say,
00:55:56.58\00:55:59.59
I want to know more,
00:55:59.62\00:56:01.39

00:56:03.69\00:56:05.66
don't turn it away.
00:56:05.69\00:56:07.13
I know I was
talking to my grandson
00:56:07.16\00:56:08.53
just this
morning, and I was saying,
00:56:08.56\00:56:10.83
you know, God has
made a special day for us.
00:56:10.87\00:56:14.14
He's blessed it,
00:56:14.17\00:56:15.50
He's sanctified
it, He set it apart,
00:56:15.54\00:56:17.87
it's not like any
other day of the week.
00:56:17.91\00:56:20.98
And so, I pray that
you will study this,
00:56:21.01\00:56:23.91
that you will listen to
this, share these messages,
00:56:23.95\00:56:26.92
give God a chance.
00:56:26.95\00:56:28.38
He means what He
says all the time.
00:56:28.42\00:56:31.35
If it wasn't important,
00:56:31.39\00:56:32.85
He wouldn't have left it there
for each and everyone of us.
00:56:32.89\00:56:35.69
So call us, won't you?
00:56:35.72\00:56:37.43
Again, that phone number
00:56:37.46\00:56:38.79

and ask for the two part series,
00:56:43.13\00:56:45.43
A Challenge for
Every Bible Christian.
00:56:45.47\00:56:48.90
Friends, we love you and
