WE'RE GOING THIS SEPTEMBER 2011.

WE'VE JUST PURCHASED
10,000 OF THESE BIBLES HERE

WE'RE SHIPPING THEM
OUT TO THE SOLOMON ISLANDS.
00:00:35.23\00:00:38.56
WE'RE TAKING THE
ENTIRE "CARTER REPORT" TEAM.
00:00:38.56\00:00:41.70
WE ARE HIRING
AN OUTDOOR STADIUM.
00:00:41.70\00:00:44.80
THEY SAY THOUSANDS, MAYBE
TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE
00:00:44.80\00:00:48.93

00:00:48.93\00:00:52.70

I NEED YOUR PARTNERSHIP AS

00:01:01.00\00:01:05.26
MANY, MANY YEARS AGO, WHEN I WAS
GROWING UP IN AUSTRALIA, I MET
00:01:05.26\00:01:08.80
A MAN FROM THE SOLOMON ISLANDS.
00:01:08.80\00:01:10.63
HIS NAME WAS
PASTOR CARTER RANGASO.
00:01:10.63\00:01:12.96
HE TOLD ME THE
STORIES OF THE HEAD HUNTERS,
00:01:12.96\00:01:15.83
THE CANNIBALS, AND THE
COMING OF THE MISSIONARIES
00:01:15.83\00:01:19.23
WHO CAME TO PREACH THE
WORD OF THE LIVING GOD.
00:01:19.23\00:01:22.66
THAT IS WHY WE ARE GOING TO
THE SOLOMON ISLANDS TO FINISH
00:01:22.66\00:01:25.03
THE WORK THAT GOD
HAS CALLED US TO DO.
00:01:27.56\00:01:30.63
I WANT YOU TO BE MY
PARTNER IN THIS TREMENDOUS WORK.
00:01:30.63\00:01:35.20

00:01:52.80\00:01:55.56
JESUS SAID,
"WORK WHILE IT IS DAY.
00:01:55.56\00:02:01.30

IT'S ENTITLED, "THE SEAL OF
GOD OR THE MARK OF THE BEAST."
00:02:37.10\00:02:45.06
THE BIBLE MAKES IT VERY
PLAIN, IF YOU DON'T GET THE SEAL
00:02:45.06\00:02:47.40
OF GOD, YOU'RE GOING TO GET
00:02:47.40\00:02:49.66
THE MARK OF THE BEAST.

[APPLAUDING]
00:06:29.23\00:06:32.90
>> THE TOPIC IS, "THE SEAL OF
00:06:34.60\00:06:34.66
GOD OR THE MARK OF THE BEAST.
00:06:36.56\00:06:40.16
IF YOU DON'T GET THE SEAL OF GOD
IN THE LAST DAYS, YOU'RE MOST
00:06:40.16\00:06:44.56
CERTAINLY GOING TO
GET THE MARK OF THE BEAST.
00:06:44.56\00:06:48.50
LET ME TELL YOU TWO STORIES
THEY SEEM TO BE SO CONTRARY.
00:06:48.50\00:06:52.90
FIRST IS ABOUT A
LITTLE BOY, AND HE'S GOING TO
00:06:52.90\00:06:56.56
GRANDFATHER'S HOUSE.
00:06:56.56\00:06:58.60
HE DOES IT REGULARLY, BECAUSE HE
LIVES NEAR TO HIS GRANDFATHER,
00:06:58.60\00:07:03.63
MAYBE A MILE DOWN THE ROAD.
00:07:03.63\00:07:06.93
LET ME TELL YOU HOW
00:07:03.63\00:07:06.93
HE GETS THERE.
00:07:07.86\00:07:09.73
BETWEEN HIS HOUSE AND
GRANDFATHER'S HOUSE, THERE
00:07:09.73\00:07:13.33
ARE A SERIES OF LAMP POSTS.
00:07:13.33\00:07:17.26
THEY'RE NOT SKINNY
LITTLE ONES, EITHER.
00:07:17.26\00:07:19.06
THEY'RE THE BIG ONES.
00:07:19.06\00:07:20.63
AND SO THE LITTLE BOY WALKS.
00:07:20.63\00:07:24.73
AND BECAUSE IT'S SO
HOT, YOU KNOW WHAT HE DOES?
00:07:24.73\00:07:28.40
HE STOPS AT THE POST,
AND HE RESTS IN THE SHADE.
00:07:28.40\00:07:34.50
AND WHILE HE RESTS IN THE
SHADE, HE LOOKS TOWARD HIS
00:07:34.50\00:07:39.33
GRANDFATHER'S HOUSE AND
THINKS OF ALL THE GOODIES
00:07:39.33\00:07:42.00
HE'S GOING TO GET SOON.
00:07:42.00\00:07:44.96
SO, TO GET TO THE FATHER'S
HOUSE, YOU AND I NEED TO
00:07:44.96\00:07:48.76
WALK IN THE HEAT.
00:07:48.76\00:07:50.83
SOMETIMES IT'S TOUGH.
00:07:50.83\00:07:53.63
AND THEN WE NEED TO REST IN
THE SHADE, AND WE NEED TO LOOK
00:07:53.63\00:08:00.93
TO THE FATHER'S HOUSE AND
THINK OF ALL THE GOOD THINGS.
00:08:00.93\00:08:05.46
THAT'S THE FIRST STORY.
00:08:05.46\00:08:07.03
THE SECOND STORY IS ABOUT A LADY
WHO CAME FROM THE DEEP SOUTH,
00:08:07.03\00:08:12.33
A YOUNG LADY IN THE
TIME OF THE CIVIL WAR.
00:08:12.33\00:08:17.26
NOW, SHE DIDN'T HAVE A
GUN, BUT SHE HAD A BROOMSTICK.
00:08:17.26\00:08:25.96
RATHER, SHE HAD
THE STICK OF A BROOM.
00:08:25.96\00:08:29.26
AND ONE DAY, THEY SAW HER
START OUT TO THE FRONT, AND SHE
00:08:29.26\00:08:32.93
WAS CARRYING THIS STICK.
00:08:32.93\00:08:35.43
THEY SAID TO HER,
"WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO,
00:08:35.43\00:08:38.50
MISS, WITH THAT STICK?
00:08:38.50\00:08:40.76
YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO DO
MUCH FIGHTING WITH THAT STICK."
00:08:40.76\00:08:44.46
SHE SAID, "THAT'S TRUE,
BUT AT LEAST THEY'LL KNOW
00:08:44.46\00:08:47.50
WHAT SIDE I'M ON."
00:08:47.50\00:08:51.43
THERE COMES A TIME
WHEN THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW
00:08:51.43\00:08:54.76
WHAT SIDE YOU'RE ON.
00:08:54.76\00:08:57.60
AND YOU MIGHT SAY,
"I'VE ONLY GOT A STICK."
00:08:57.60\00:09:02.46
WELL, THEN, HOLD UP THE STICK.
00:09:02.46\00:09:06.26
AT LEAST THE WORLD WILL KNOW
WHETHER YOU'RE ON THE RIGHT SIDE
00:09:06.26\00:09:12.03
OR THE WRONG SIDE.
00:09:12.03\00:09:13.26
THERE WERE PEOPLE BACK
IN THE DAYS OF THE AMERICAN
00:09:13.26\00:09:15.86
CIVIL WAR THAT HAD TWO
FLAGS: THE FLAG OF THE U.S.
00:09:15.86\00:09:20.93
AND THE CONFEDERATE FLAG.
00:09:20.93\00:09:23.16
AND THEY WERE ON BORDER STATES.
00:09:23.16\00:09:25.40
AND WHEN THE YANKEES CAME,
THEY PUT UP THE YANKEE FLAG, AND
00:09:25.40\00:09:30.53
WHEN THE SOUTHERNERS CAME ALONG,
THEY PUT UP THE SOUTHERN FLAG.
00:09:30.53\00:09:35.10
A LOT OF PEOPLE TODAY ARE
TRYING TO DO THE SAME THING.
00:09:35.10\00:09:38.86
THEY PUT UP THE LORD'S FLAG,
AND THEY PUT UP THE DEVIL'S FLAG
00:09:38.86\00:09:41.06
WHEN IT SUITS THEM.
00:09:42.56\00:09:44.26
SO, THESE TWO STORIES.
00:09:44.26\00:09:46.43
TO GET TO THE FATHER'S HOUSE, WE
NEED TO WALK IN THE SUN, REST,
00:09:46.43\00:09:52.33
AND LOOK TOWARDS THE FATHER'S
HOUSE AND THINK OF ALL THE GOOD
00:09:52.33\00:09:56.56
THINGS THAT GOD HAS FOR US.
00:09:56.56\00:09:59.96
AND SECONDLY, THE WORLD NEEDS
TO KNOW WHAT SIDE WE'RE ON.
00:09:59.96\00:10:07.73
GOD GAVE TO EVERY ONE OF US, TO
THE WORLD, THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:10:07.73\00:10:09.73
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS WERE GIVEN
00:10:09.73\00:10:12.16
TO ALL MEN AND ALL
WOMEN FOR ALL TIME.
00:10:13.23\00:10:19.73
BUT I NOTICE TODAY THAT EVEN
THOUGH PEOPLE TALK A GREAT DEAL
00:10:19.73\00:10:22.70
ABOUT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS,
AND THERE'S BEEN QUITE AN ISSUE
00:10:22.70\00:10:25.86
IN WASHINGTON AND
OTHER PLACES ABOUT PUTTING
00:10:25.86\00:10:28.33
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS UP
IN THE COURTHOUSES, THEY SAY,
00:10:28.33\00:10:32.40
"THESE TEN COMMANDMENTS
ARE UNIQUELY AMERICAN,
00:10:32.40\00:10:37.03
BECAUSE OUR CIVILIZATION IS
BASED ON THE TEN COMMANDMENTS."
00:10:37.03\00:10:40.53
AND THEREFORE THEY'LL
SAY, "WE NEED TO PUT UP
00:10:40.53\00:10:43.46
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
IN EVERY COURTHOUSE."
00:10:43.46\00:10:46.83
FRANKLIN GRAHAM SAID WE OUGHT
TO PUT UP THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
00:10:46.83\00:10:50.90
IN EVERY SCHOOL.
00:10:50.90\00:10:52.53
WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT A
CHURCH, BUT IN EVERY SCHOOL.
00:10:52.53\00:10:55.96
BUT I WANT TO SUGGEST TO YOU
TODAY THAT MOST FOLKS DON'T HAVE
00:10:55.96\00:11:00.26
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:11:00.26\00:11:02.16
THEY HAVE THE NINE COMMANDMENTS.
00:11:02.16\00:11:07.53
DID YOU KNOW THAT?
00:11:07.53\00:11:09.63
MOST FOLKS TODAY,
MOST CHURCHES TODAY DON'T
00:11:09.63\00:11:13.56
HAVE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:11:13.56\00:11:16.06
THEY HAVE THE NINE COMMANDMENTS,
AS I THINK I WILL POINT OUT,
00:11:16.06\00:11:20.86
AS WE GO ALONG.
00:11:20.86\00:11:22.00
I WANT YOU TO TAKE YOUR
BIBLES NOW AND TURN WITH ME TO
00:11:22.00\00:11:24.16
EXODUS 19.
00:11:24.16\00:11:26.66
IT'S CALLED EXODUS, BECAUSE
IT TALKS ABOUT THE EXODUS OF
00:11:26.66\00:11:30.60
THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
OUT OF THE LAND OF EGYPT.
00:11:30.60\00:11:33.86
WE'RE GOING TO TURN TO
EXODUS 19:17 AND ONWARDS.
00:11:33.86\00:11:41.23
GENESIS, EXODUS, THE
STORY OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
00:11:41.23\00:11:45.86
AND MOSES, THE MAN OF GOD.
00:11:45.86\00:11:48.93
"THEN MOSES LED THE PEOPLE OUT
OF THE CAMP TO MEET WITH GOD."
00:11:48.93\00:11:53.46
THAT'S WHY WE COME
TO CHURCH, YOU KNOW.
00:11:53.46\00:11:55.86
"AND THEY STOOD AT
THE FOOT OF THE MOUNTAIN.
00:11:55.86\00:11:58.53
MOUNT SINAI WAS COVERED
WITH SMOKE, BECAUSE THE LORD
00:11:58.53\00:12:02.20
DESCENDED ON IT IN FIRE.
00:12:02.20\00:12:05.93
THE SMOKE BILLOWED UP FROM
IT LIKE SMOKE FROM A FURNACE,
00:12:05.93\00:12:09.40
THE WHOLE MOUNTAIN
TREMBLED VIOLENTLY,
00:12:09.40\00:12:13.10
AND THE SOUND OF THE
TRUMPET GREW LOUDER AND LOUDER.
00:12:13.10\00:12:17.53
THEN MOSES SPOKE AND THE
VOICE OF GOD ANSWERED HIM."
00:12:17.53\00:12:22.26
AND IT SAYS IN THE MARGIN,
"GOD ANSWERED HIM WITH THUNDER."
00:12:22.26\00:12:29.76
AND SO, MY FRIEND, SOMETHING
TREMENDOUS IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN.
00:12:29.76\00:12:38.60
ALMIGHTY GOD, YAHWEH ELOHIM,
CLOTHED IN FIRE AND GLORY,
00:12:38.60\00:12:45.76
DESCENDS AND COMES DOWN.
00:12:45.76\00:12:49.26
MOSES TALKS TO HIM, AND
GOD ANSWERS HIM WITH THUNDER.
00:12:49.26\00:12:56.76
AND THEN GOD, IN THE MIDST
OF FIRE AND SPLENDOR AND GLORY,
00:12:56.76\00:13:03.46
GIVES TO THE WORLD
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:13:03.46\00:13:07.80
I WANT YOU TO TURN TO EXODUS 20,
AND IN RESPECT TO THE HOLY LAW
00:13:07.80\00:13:12.90
OF GOD, I WOULD LIKE THE
CONGREGATION NOW TO STAND.
00:13:12.90\00:13:17.76
EXODUS 20, AND I WANT YOU
TO READ VERSES 1 TO 17 WITH ME.
00:13:17.76\00:13:25.40
EXODUS 20.
00:13:25.40\00:13:26.76
JUST KEEP WITH ME, AS WE GO
THROUGH THE LAW OF ALMIGHTY GOD.
00:13:26.76\00:13:32.80
EXODUS 20.
00:13:32.80\00:13:34.23
"AND GOD SPOKE ALL THESE
WORDS: 'I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD,
00:13:34.23\00:13:40.03
WHO BROUGHT YOU OUT OF EGYPT,
OUT OF THE LAND OF SLAVERY.
00:13:40.03\00:13:44.36
YOU SHALL HAVE NO
OTHER GODS BEFORE ME.
00:13:44.36\00:13:48.20
YOU SHALL NOT MAKE FOR YOURSELF
AN IDOL IN THE FORM OF ANYTHING
00:13:48.20\00:13:51.53
IN HEAVEN ABOVE OR ON THE EARTH
BENEATH OR IN THE WATERS BELOW.
00:13:51.53\00:13:57.66
YOU SHALL NOT BOW DOWN TO THEM
OR WORSHIP THEM; FOR I, THE LORD
00:13:57.66\00:14:01.80
YOUR GOD, AM A JEALOUS
GOD, PUNISHING THE CHILDREN
00:14:01.80\00:14:06.03
FOR THE SIN OF THE
FATHERS TO THE THIRD AND
00:14:06.03\00:14:08.50
FOURTH GENERATION OF THOSE
WHO HATE ME, BUT SHOWING LOVE
00:14:08.50\00:14:13.76
TO A THOUSAND [GENERATIONS]
OF THOSE WHO LOVE ME
00:14:13.76\00:14:17.13
AND KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS.
00:14:17.13\00:14:19.86
YOU SHALL NOT MISUSE THE NAME OF
THE LORD YOUR GOD, FOR THE LORD
00:14:19.86\00:14:24.53
WILL NOT HOLD ANYONE
GUILTLESS WHO MISUSES HIS NAME.
00:14:24.53\00:14:29.70
REMEMBER THE SABBATH
DAY BY KEEPING IT HOLY.
00:14:29.70\00:14:34.76
SIX DAYS YOU SHALL
LABOR AND DO ALL YOUR WORK,
00:14:34.76\00:14:38.63
BUT THE SEVENTH DAY IS A
SABBATH TO THE LORD YOUR GOD.
00:14:38.63\00:14:42.83
ON IT YOU SHALL NOT DO ANY WORK,
NEITHER YOU, NOR YOUR SON OR
00:14:42.83\00:14:49.30
DAUGHTER, NOR YOUR MANSERVANT OR
MAIDSERVANT, NOR YOUR ANIMALS,
00:14:49.30\00:14:54.83
NOR THE ALIEN WITHIN YOUR GATES.
00:14:54.83\00:14:57.86
FOR IN SIX DAYS THE LORD
MADE THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH,
00:14:57.86\00:15:02.03
THE SEA, AND ALL THAT
IS IN THEM, BUT HE RESTED
00:15:02.03\00:15:06.10
ON THE SEVENTH DAY.
00:15:06.10\00:15:07.60
THEREFORE THE LORD
BLESSED THE SABBATH DAY
00:15:07.60\00:15:10.66
AND MADE IT HOLY.
00:15:10.66\00:15:14.36
HONOR YOUR FATHER AND YOUR
MOTHER, SO THAT YOU MAY LIVE
00:15:14.36\00:15:18.56
LONG IN THE LAND THE
LORD YOUR GOD IS GIVING YOU.
00:15:18.56\00:15:21.96
YOU SHALL NOT MURDER.
00:15:21.96\00:15:24.66
YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY.
00:15:24.66\00:15:28.03
YOU SHALL NOT STEAL.
00:15:28.03\00:15:30.93
YOU SHALL NOT GIVE FALSE
TESTIMONY AGAINST YOUR NEIGHBOR.
00:15:30.93\00:15:35.50
YOU SHALL NOT COVET
YOUR NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE.
00:15:35.50\00:15:38.76
YOU SHALL NOT COVET
YOUR NEIGHBOR'S WIFE, OR HIS
00:15:38.76\00:15:41.83
MANSERVANT OR MAIDSERVANT,
HIS OX OR DONKEY, OR ANYTHING
00:15:41.83\00:15:47.33
THAT BELONGS TO YOUR
NEIGHBOR.'" PLEASE BE SEATED.
00:15:47.33\00:15:54.63
AND THE TEXT GOES ON.
00:15:54.63\00:15:57.26
PLEASE NOTICE
IT, VERSE 18 TO 20,
00:15:57.26\00:16:02.06
"WHEN THE PEOPLE SAW
THE THUNDER AND LIGHTNING
00:16:02.06\00:16:04.93
AND HEARD THE TRUMPET AND
SAW THE MOUNTAIN IN SMOKE,
00:16:04.93\00:16:09.46
THEY TREMBLED WITH FEAR.
00:16:09.46\00:16:12.56
THEY STAYED AT A DISTANCE
AND SAID TO MOSES, 'SPEAK TO US
00:16:12.56\00:16:16.26
YOURSELF AND WE WILL LISTEN.
00:16:16.26\00:16:20.40
BUT DO NOT HAVE GOD
SPEAK TO US OR WE WILL DIE.'
00:16:20.40\00:16:26.50
MOSES SAID TO THE
PEOPLE, 'DO NOT BE AFRAID.
00:16:26.50\00:16:31.56
GOD HAS COME TO TEST
YOU, SO THAT THE FEAR OF GOD
00:16:31.56\00:16:35.86
WILL BE WITH YOU TO
KEEP YOU FROM SINNING.'"
00:16:35.86\00:16:42.13
THAT IS, AS THE CONGREGATION
READ TODAY, THE HOLY MORAL LAW
00:16:42.13\00:16:48.40
OF GOD, TAUGHT AND
BELIEVED BY EVERY GREAT CHURCH,
00:16:48.40\00:16:54.63
EVERY GREAT CHURCH ON
THE FACE OF THIS EARTH.
00:16:54.63\00:17:00.26
THE ROMAN CATHOLIC
CHURCH, THE LUTHERAN CHURCH,
00:17:00.26\00:17:04.30
ALL THE GREAT REFORM CHURCHES,
THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH,
00:17:04.30\00:17:08.43
THE CONGREGATIONALISTS,
EVERY CHURCH,
00:17:08.43\00:17:10.63
THE BAPTIST CHURCH,
EVERY GREAT MAINSTREAM CHURCH
00:17:11.90\00:17:17.56
HAS TAUGHT THAT A CHRISTIAN IS
BOUND BY THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:17:17.56\00:17:25.56
BUT IN SPITE OF ALL OF
THIS, THE CHURCHES TODAY,
00:17:25.56\00:17:30.43
ON THE WHOLE, DO NOT
HAVE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:17:30.43\00:17:35.10
THEY HAVE THE NINE COMMANDMENTS,
AND THEY HAVE ONLY NINE
00:17:35.10\00:17:40.00
COMMANDMENTS, BECAUSE MOST
CHURCHES AND MOST PREACHERS SAY
00:17:41.43\00:17:46.86
THAT THE FOURTH COMMANDMENT
IS ABOLISHED; THEREFORE,
00:17:46.86\00:17:53.53
THEY DO NOT HAVE THE
TEN; THEY HAVE THE NINE.
00:17:53.53\00:18:00.73
BECAUSE IF TODAY YOU GO TO
A PREACHER, MOST PREACHERS IN
00:18:00.73\00:18:06.66
MOST CHURCHES AND SAY, "REMEMBER
THE SABBATH DAY TO KEEP IT
00:18:06.66\00:18:12.96
HOLY," HE WILL SAY TO YOU,
"IT WAS NAILED TO THE CROSS.
00:18:12.96\00:18:19.00
IT IS NO LONGER BINDING."
00:18:19.00\00:18:21.40
AND SOME PREACHERS WILL EVEN
SAY TO YOU THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
00:18:21.40\00:18:26.40
WERE NAILED TO THE CROSS, BUT
GOD GAVE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
00:18:26.40\00:18:33.53
FOR ALL PEOPLE FOR ALL TIME.
00:18:33.53\00:18:38.13
I WOULD HAVE YOU NOTICE TODAY
THAT IT IS ONLY THE SABBATH
00:18:38.13\00:18:44.20
COMMANDMENT, THE ONLY ONE
OF THE TEN, THAT TALKS ABOUT
00:18:44.20\00:18:49.66
DIVINE REST THAT
SYMBOLIZES THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST.
00:18:49.66\00:18:56.10
NO OTHER COMMANDMENT, MY
BELOVED FRIEND, SYMBOLIZES
00:18:56.10\00:19:02.36
THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST,
ONLY THE SABBATH COMMANDMENT.
00:19:02.36\00:19:07.53
IT IS THE ONLY COMMANDMENT THAT
ALMIGHTY GOD SAID, "REMEMBER."
00:19:07.53\00:19:15.46
IT IS THE COMMANDMENT
THAT ALMOST ALL OF CHRISTENDOM
00:19:15.46\00:19:20.00
HAS WILLINGLY FORGOTTEN,
AND IT IS THE ONLY COMMANDMENT
00:19:20.00\00:19:26.53
THAT SYMBOLIZES THE REST, DIVINE
REST, THE SYMBOL OF THE GOSPEL.
00:19:26.53\00:19:34.03
COME OVER HERE TO HEBREWS 4:4 IN
THE NEW TESTAMENT, THE BOOK OF
00:19:34.03\00:19:42.63
HEBREWS, CHAPTER 4 AND VERSE 4.
00:19:42.63\00:19:50.26
HEBREWS 4:4, THE BIBLE SAYS,
"FOR SOMEWHERE HE HAS SPOKEN
00:19:50.26\00:19:57.63
ABOUT THE SEVENTH DAY IN THESE
WORDS: 'AND ON THE SEVENTH DAY
00:19:57.63\00:20:03.83
GOD RESTED FROM ALL HIS
WORK.'" AND, OF COURSE, THIS IS
00:20:03.83\00:20:09.43
QUOTING GENESIS 2 AND EXODUS 20.
00:20:09.43\00:20:15.16
NOW, VERSES 9 AND ONWARDS.
00:20:15.16\00:20:17.36
"THERE REMAINS, THEN, A SABBATH
REST FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD;
00:20:17.36\00:20:25.36
FOR ANYONE WHO ENTERS GOD'S REST
ALSO RESTS FROM HIS OWN WORK,
00:20:25.36\00:20:30.36
JUST AS GOD DID FROM HIS.
00:20:30.36\00:20:33.13
LET US, THEREFORE, MAKE
EVERY EFFORT TO ENTER THAT REST,
00:20:33.13\00:20:38.06
SO THAT NO ONE WILL FALL
BY FOLLOWING THEIR EXAMPLE
00:20:38.06\00:20:43.00
OF DISOBEDIENCE."
00:20:43.00\00:20:46.90
NOW, MY FRIEND, LET
THE HOLY WORD OF GOD
00:20:46.90\00:20:50.93
SPEAK TO YOUR HEART.
00:20:50.93\00:20:53.40
THE BIBLE SAYS, AS PLAIN AS
IT CAN BE SAID, THAT THE SEVENTH
00:20:53.40\00:21:00.20
DAY SABBATH IS THE
SYMBOL OF THE GOSPEL REST
00:21:00.20\00:21:06.26
THAT WE HAVE IN CHRIST.
00:21:06.26\00:21:08.66
NO OTHER COMMANDMENT TALKS ABOUT
THE GOSPEL, BUT THE SABBATH
00:21:08.66\00:21:15.43
IS THE GOSPEL COMMANDMENT, AND
THE BIBLE SAYS THERE REMAINS,
00:21:15.43\00:21:21.06
THEREFORE, A REST
TO THE PEOPLE OF GOD.
00:21:21.06\00:21:26.13
I'VE BEEN ASKED TO EXPLAIN
THESE FOUR EXPRESSIONS THAT I
00:21:26.13\00:21:31.90
SOMETIMES USE: SOLA CHRISTUS,
SOLA SCRIPTURA, SOLA GRATIA,
00:21:31.90\00:21:41.73
AND SOLA FIDE.
00:21:41.73\00:21:45.23
THESE WERE THE WORDS THAT
WERE USED BY MARTIN LUTHER AND
00:21:45.23\00:21:50.30
THE GREAT PROTESTANT REFORMERS.
00:21:50.30\00:21:52.90
SOLA CHRISTUS,
WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
00:21:52.90\00:21:56.20
IT MEANS CHRIST ALONE.
00:21:56.20\00:21:58.50
I'M NOT SAVED, MY
FRIEND, BY THE CHURCH.
00:21:58.50\00:22:01.93
SOME PEOPLE THINK THEY
ARE SAVED BY THE CHURCH.
00:22:01.93\00:22:05.56
THEY ACT AS THOUGH
THE CHURCH SAVES THEM.
00:22:05.56\00:22:09.66
THE CHURCH NEEDS TO BE SAVED,
SO HOW CAN THE CHURCH SAVE?
00:22:09.66\00:22:14.50
THE CHURCH NEEDS TO BE SAVED,
AND SO WE SAY SOLA CHRISTUS,
00:22:14.50\00:22:19.46
ONLY CHRIST.
00:22:19.46\00:22:21.76
AND WHEN YOU COME TO CHURCH,
YOU OUGHT TO HEAR ABOUT CHRIST,
00:22:21.76\00:22:26.23
NOT THE CHURCH, SOLA CHRISTUS.
00:22:26.23\00:22:31.33
AND THEN IT SAYS, LUTHER SAID
SOLA SCRIPTURA, ONLY SCRIPTURE.
00:22:31.33\00:22:37.93
MY FAITH MUST REST UPON
THE WORDS OF THE HOLY BIBLE,
00:22:37.93\00:22:46.70
NOT THE TEACHINGS OF CHURCHES
THAT HAVE FREQUENTLY ERRED
00:22:46.70\00:22:51.20
AND CONTRADICTED THEMSELVES.
00:22:51.20\00:22:55.00
SOLA SCRIPTURA!
00:22:55.00\00:22:58.76
SOLA GRATIA, ONLY GRACE.
00:22:58.76\00:23:02.46
I'M NOT SAVED BY MY WORKS, I'M
NOT SAVED BY BEING GOOD ENOUGH.
00:23:02.46\00:23:07.16
IF I'M SAVED BY WORKS, AND
I AM, THEY ARE NOT MY WORKS.
00:23:07.16\00:23:10.96
THEY ARE CHRIST'S WORKS.
00:23:10.96\00:23:12.96
NOT BY MY GOODNESS, BUT
BY HIS GOODNESS, SOLA GRATIA.
00:23:12.96\00:23:16.50
SOLA FIDE.
00:23:16.50\00:23:19.63
I AM NOT SAVED
SOLA FAITH, ONLY FAITH.
00:23:19.63\00:23:23.63
I AM NOT SAVED
BY FAITH PLUS WORKS.
00:23:23.63\00:23:26.80
I'M SAVED BY A FAITH THAT WORKS.
00:23:26.80\00:23:30.26
SO, THIS IS THE GREAT CRY
OF THE BIBLE: SOLA CHRISTUS,
00:23:30.26\00:23:36.33
SOLA SCRIPTURA,
SOLA GRATIA, SOLA FIDE.
00:23:36.33\00:23:39.93
LET IT SINK DOWN INTO
THE CHAMBERS OF YOUR MIND,
00:23:39.93\00:23:44.50
MY DEAR FRIEND.
00:23:44.50\00:23:46.16
AND I MUST STAND ON THESE
GREAT TRUTHS WHEN I CONSIDER
00:23:46.16\00:23:50.50
THE HOLY SABBATH.
00:23:50.50\00:23:53.06
SO, THE HOLY SABBATH,
THE BIBLE SAYS, IS THE SYMBOL
00:23:53.06\00:23:57.80
OF THE GOSPEL.
00:23:57.80\00:23:59.86
NOW, SOME OF MY BELOVED
PROTESTANT FRIENDS, WHOM I LOVE
00:23:59.86\00:24:03.86
IN CHRIST, COME TO ME AND THEY
SAY, "IT IS FULL OF LEGALISM."
00:24:03.86\00:24:08.70
NOT SO.
00:24:08.70\00:24:09.70
IT IS FULL OF CHRIST.
00:24:09.70\00:24:13.53
AND THEY SAY, "WE KNOW
LOTS OF PEOPLE WHO KEEP IT IN
00:24:13.53\00:24:16.43
A LEGALISTIC WAY.
00:24:16.43\00:24:17.66
THAT MAY BE SO, BUT MISUSE
OF A GOOD THING DOES NOT CANCEL
00:24:17.66\00:24:23.06
THE GOOD USE OF A GOOD THING.
00:24:23.06\00:24:27.33
WHAT DO I MEAN WHEN I TALK ABOUT
THE REST THAT WE HAVE IN CHRIST?
00:24:27.33\00:24:32.76
THIS IS MY OLD KING JAMES
VERSION BIBLE THAT I'VE USED
00:24:32.76\00:24:36.76
AROUND THE WORLD, AND I LOVE IT.
00:24:36.76\00:24:40.50
I'M GOING TO READ TO
YOU FROM A STATEMENT OUT OF
00:24:46.13\00:24:51.96
THE HEIDELBERG CATECHISM
OF 1563 THAT GAVE BREATH TO
00:24:51.96\00:24:58.20
THE PROTESTANT REFORMATION.
00:24:58.20\00:24:59.66
I HAVE IT HERE IN THE MARGIN
OF MY OLD KING JAMES VERSION.
00:24:59.66\00:25:07.36
"HEIDELBERG CATECHISM.
00:25:07.36\00:25:09.73
HOW ART THOU RIGHTEOUS
00:25:07.36\00:25:09.73
BEFORE GOD?"
00:25:10.60\00:25:11.80
NOW, THIS IS PROTESTANTISM.
00:25:11.80\00:25:12.93
PEOPLE SAY, "WHAT ON
EARTH DOES THAT MEAN?"
00:25:12.93\00:25:14.83
IT MEANS SOLA CHRISTUS,
SOLA SCRIPTURA, SOLA GRATIA,
00:25:14.83\00:25:19.53
SOLA FIDE.
00:25:19.53\00:25:21.50
"HOW ART THOU
RIGHTEOUS BEFORE GOD?
00:25:21.50\00:25:23.70
ANSWER: ONLY BY TRUE
FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST.
00:25:23.70\00:25:27.33
THAT IS: ALTHOUGH MY CONSCIENCE
ACCUSE ME, THAT I'VE GRIEVOUSLY
00:25:27.33\00:25:31.13
SINNED AGAINST ALL
THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD,
00:25:31.13\00:25:34.60
AND HAVE NEVER KEPT
ANY OF THEM, AND THAT
00:25:34.60\00:25:38.36
I AM STILL PRONE ALWAYS TO ALL
EVIL, YET GOD, WITHOUT ANY MERIT
00:25:38.36\00:25:45.33
OF MIND, OF MERE GRACE, GRANTS
AND IMPUTES TO ME THE PERFECT
00:25:45.33\00:25:50.80
SATISFACTION, RIGHTEOUSNESS AND
HOLINESS OF CHRIST, AS IF I HAD
00:25:50.80\00:25:58.00
NEVER COMMITTED NOR HAD ANY
SIN, AND HAD MYSELF ACCOMPLISHED
00:25:58.00\00:26:04.36
ALL THE OBEDIENCE WHICH CHRIST
HAD FULFILLED FOR ME, IF ONLY
00:26:04.36\00:26:10.20
I ACCEPT SUCH BENEFIT
WITH A BELIEVING HEART."
00:26:10.20\00:26:14.70
CAN YOU SAY AMEN TO THAT?
00:26:14.70\00:26:16.46
>> AMEN.
00:26:16.46\00:26:17.83
>> THAT IS THE TRUTH OF
THE GOSPEL THAT I'M SAVED BY
00:26:17.83\00:26:22.06
THE BLOOD OF JESUS, AND WHEN
I'M SAVED BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS,
00:26:22.06\00:26:28.70
I ENTER INTO REST.
00:26:28.70\00:26:34.23
I CAN REMEMBER, AS A BOY AT
AVONDALE COLLEGE, WORKING DOWN
00:26:34.23\00:26:38.60
AT THE FACTORY, THE
SANITARIUM HEALTH FOOD FACTORY.
00:26:38.60\00:26:42.96
NOW, AUSTRALIA AND NEW
ZEALAND OWN THE SANITARIUM
00:26:42.96\00:26:47.63
HEALTH FOOD COMPANY.
00:26:47.63\00:26:48.80
IN NEW ZEALAND,
THEY OWN NABISCO.
00:26:48.80\00:26:52.13
IT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST
COMPANIES IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC,
00:26:52.13\00:26:56.53
A MARVELOUS COMPANY.
00:26:56.53\00:26:58.86
AND I WORKED ON THE
GREAT PRINTING PRESS PRINTING
00:26:58.86\00:27:02.26
THE BOXES FOR WEET-BIX.
00:27:02.26\00:27:08.93
AND WHILE I WAS THERE, BECAUSE
THERE WAS TIME DURING THE NIGHT,
00:27:08.93\00:27:13.76
WHEN THE MACHINE WAS JUST
RUNNING BY ITSELF, I WOULD
00:27:13.76\00:27:16.76
READ THE TEXT OF THE BIBLE,
AND I WOULD GET THOSE TEXTS
00:27:16.76\00:27:20.53
IN MY MIND.
00:27:20.53\00:27:22.00
YOU NEED TO DO THE SAME.
00:27:22.00\00:27:24.43
AND A TEXT THAT CAME INTO
MY MIND THAT HAS NEVER LEFT ME
00:27:24.43\00:27:28.93
IS WHEN JESUS SAID,
"COME UNTO ME ALL YOU WHO
00:27:28.93\00:27:32.93
LABOR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN,
AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST."
00:27:32.93\00:27:37.50
I FOUND THAT REST.
00:27:37.50\00:27:40.23
WHEN I CAME TO CHRIST, I WAS NO
LONGER WORKING MY WAY TO CHRIST.
00:27:40.23\00:27:45.26
I CAME TO CHRIST, AND CHRIST
GAVE ME REST, AND THE SABBATH IS
00:27:45.26\00:27:53.20
THE ONLY COMMANDMENT THAT
POINTS US TO THE DIVINE REST.
00:27:53.20\00:28:00.30
I WANT YOU TO NOTICE WHERE
GOD PLACED THE HOLY SABBATH.
00:28:00.30\00:28:04.36
NOW STAY WITH ME.
00:28:04.36\00:28:06.46
GOD PLACED IT IN THE CENTER.
00:28:06.46\00:28:09.90
IN THE CENTER OF THE WORLD,
THERE WAS A NATION BY THE NAME
00:28:09.90\00:28:16.26
OF WHAT?
00:28:16.26\00:28:18.06
THE CENTER OF THE WORLD, ISRAEL.
00:28:18.06\00:28:21.70
IN THE CENTER OF
ISRAEL, THERE WAS THE CAPITAL.
00:28:21.70\00:28:25.73
WHAT WAS IT CALLED?
00:28:25.73\00:28:27.70
JERUSALEM.
00:28:27.70\00:28:29.40
IN THE CENTER OF THE CAPITAL
OF JERUSALEM, WHAT WAS THERE?
00:28:29.40\00:28:34.06
THE SANCTUARY, THE TEMPLE.
00:28:34.06\00:28:38.03
IN THE VERY CENTER OF
THE TEMPLE, YOU HAVE THE HOLY
00:28:38.03\00:28:45.60
PLACE AND THE MOST HOLY PLACE.
00:28:45.60\00:28:49.20
BUT THEN, MY FRIEND, AT THE
VERY CENTER OF THAT, YOU'VE GOT
00:28:49.20\00:28:53.20
THE MOST HOLY PLACE, AND
IN THE VERY CENTER OF THE MOST
00:28:53.20\00:28:57.50
HOLY PLACE, THE ARK OF GOD.
00:28:57.50\00:29:01.23
THAT'S WHERE GOD MET WITH
HIS PEOPLE, THE SHEKINAH GLORY.
00:29:01.23\00:29:06.10
AND THEN IN THE VERY CENTER
OF THE ARK OF GOD, GOD SAID,
00:29:06.10\00:29:10.50
"PLACE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS."
00:29:10.50\00:29:15.06
IN THE CENTER OF THE WORLD,
IN THE CENTER OF THE CITY,
00:29:15.06\00:29:18.40
IN THE CENTER OF THE TEMPLE,
IN THE CENTER OF THE MOST HOLY
00:29:18.40\00:29:22.16
PLACE, IN THE CENTER OF THE ARK
YOU'VE GOT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS,
00:29:22.16\00:29:26.73
AND IN THE CENTER OF
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, IF
00:29:26.73\00:29:30.16
YOU NUMBER THE HEBREW
LETTERS, IN THE VERY CENTER OF
00:29:30.16\00:29:34.80
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, YOU HAVE,
"REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY."
00:29:34.80\00:29:41.70
SO, THE COMMANDMENT THAT POINTS
US TO THE GOSPEL WAS PLACED
00:29:41.70\00:29:45.96
IN THE VERY CENTER, BECAUSE
GOD WANTS TO BE THE CENTER
00:29:45.96\00:29:51.40
OF OUR LIVES.
00:29:51.40\00:29:54.66
NOW, PEOPLE SAY, "BUT,
YOU KNOW, IT'S JEWISH."
00:29:54.66\00:29:59.70
MY FRIEND, DO
NOT BE ANTI-SEMITIC.
00:29:59.70\00:30:07.13
IT IS JEWISH, AND SO WAS JESUS,
AND SO WAS THE BLESSED VIRGIN
00:30:07.13\00:30:14.06
MARY, AND SO WAS THE CHRISTIAN
BIBLE, BUT THE SABBATH ISN'T.
00:30:14.06\00:30:21.50
IT GOES BACK TO THE GARDEN OF
EDEN, AND IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN
00:30:21.50\00:30:25.96
GOD GAVE TO THE HUMAN
RACE TWO HEAVENLY TWINS:
00:30:25.96\00:30:31.20
MARRIAGE AND THE
SABBATH, TWO PILLARS OF SOCIETY.
00:30:31.20\00:30:40.86
AND WHEN MARRIAGE
GOES, AND THE SABBATH GOES,
00:30:40.86\00:30:46.00
THE DEMONS RULE.
00:30:46.00\00:30:51.40
NOW, IF YOU CAN READ THE GREEK
LANGUAGE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT,
00:30:51.40\00:30:56.46
IT DOESN'T SAY THE FIRST DAY
OF THE WEEK OR THE SECOND DAY OF
00:30:56.46\00:31:00.20
THE WEEK, ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
00:31:00.20\00:31:01.53
THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK, WHICH
WE CALL SUNDAY, IN THE BIBLE
00:31:01.53\00:31:05.90
IS CALLED IN THE GREEK,
TO THE FIRST OF THE SABBATH.
00:31:05.90\00:31:09.73
THE SECOND DAY, THE
SECOND OF THE SABBATH,
00:31:09.73\00:31:12.10
THAT'S MONDAY; TUESDAY,
THE THIRD TO THE SABBATH,
00:31:12.10\00:31:15.86
THE FOURTH TO THE SABBATH,
THE FIFTH TO THE SABBATH.
00:31:15.86\00:31:18.63
THEN YOU HAVE FRIDAY, AND
IT'S CALLED THE PREPARATION DAY,
00:31:18.63\00:31:22.03
AND THE NEXT DAY IS THE SABBATH.
00:31:22.03\00:31:25.53
YOU KNOW WHY?
00:31:25.53\00:31:26.63
SO THE PEOPLE WOULD
COUNT THE DAYS TO THE SABBATH.
00:31:26.63\00:31:30.50
DON'T YOU DO SO?
00:31:30.50\00:31:31.73
I DO SO.
00:31:31.73\00:31:33.33
IT IS THE BEST DAY OF THE SEVEN.
00:31:33.33\00:31:36.10
AND SO IN THE BIBLE, IT'S
THE FIRST TO THE SABBATH, TO
00:31:36.10\00:31:39.60
THE SECOND TO THE SABBATH, AND
THEN YOU COME TO THE SABBATH.
00:31:39.60\00:31:44.90
AND GOD SAID,
"REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY."
00:31:44.90\00:31:50.96
ONE OF MY CHURCH
MEMBERS MADE THIS COMMENT;
00:31:50.96\00:31:55.16
SHE SAID, "I THINK
YOU MAKE TOO MUCH OF IT."
00:31:55.16\00:32:01.93
IT'S LIKE A MAN
CAUGHT BY HIS WIFE,
00:32:01.93\00:32:06.60
AND HE'S COMMITTING ADULTERY.
00:32:06.60\00:32:09.96
SO, HERE'S A MAN, HE'S
CAUGHT COMMITTING ADULTERY,
00:32:09.96\00:32:13.10
AND HIS WIFE SAYS TO
HIM, "YOU'RE BREAKING
00:32:13.10\00:32:16.00
THE SEVENTH COMMANDMENT!"
00:32:16.00\00:32:18.00
AND HE SAYS, "I THINK
YOU MAKE TOO MUCH OF IT."
00:32:18.00\00:32:22.60
HE SAYS THAT BECAUSE
HE'S GUILTY BEFORE GOD!
00:32:22.60\00:32:26.96
IT IS A GUILTY WORLD, MY FRIEND,
THAT HAS FORGOTTEN THE WORDS
00:32:26.96\00:32:33.43
OF GOD, THAT SAYS,
"YOU MAKE TOO MUCH OF IT."
00:32:33.43\00:32:40.06
BUT GOD PLACED IT RIGHT
THERE IN THE VERY CENTER.
00:32:40.06\00:32:45.23
IT IS CALLED IN
SCRIPTURE, THE LORD'S DAY.
00:32:45.23\00:32:49.53
WOULD YOU COME OVER
HERE TO REVELATION 1:10?
00:32:49.53\00:32:53.26
REVELATION 1:10, THE BIBLE SAYS,
JOHN THE BELOVED DISCIPLE SAYS,
00:32:53.26\00:33:01.66
"I WAS IN THE
SPIRIT--" HAVE YOU GOT IT?
00:33:01.66\00:33:04.90
"ON THE LORD'S DAY I WAS IN
THE SPIRIT AND I HEARD BEHIND ME
00:33:04.90\00:33:10.10
A LOUD VOICE LIKE A
TRUMPET--" ON THE LORD'S DAY.
00:33:10.10\00:33:14.33
MY FRIEND, GOD HAS A DAY.
00:33:14.33\00:33:18.40
IT DOESN'T SAY THAT HE WAS IN
THE SPIRIT ON THE LORD'S HOUR.
00:33:18.40\00:33:28.46
NOW NOT ONLY TODAY HAS
CHRISTENDOM TURNED AWAY
00:33:28.46\00:33:32.06
FROM THE LORD'S DAY, THEY
BARELY GIVE TO GOD AN HOUR
00:33:32.06\00:33:37.73
DURING THE CHURCH SERVICE.
00:33:37.73\00:33:39.10
THEY WILL COME LATE TO CHURCH
AND WANT TO GET OUT OF CHURCH
00:33:39.10\00:33:43.53
AS FAST AS THEY CAN,
BECAUSE THEY'RE A MILLION MILES
00:33:43.53\00:33:48.70
FROM GOD.
00:33:48.70\00:33:54.03
I LIKE THE JEWISH CUSTOM, AND
THE JEWISH BROTHERS AND SISTERS
00:33:54.03\00:33:59.30
CAN TEACH US A THING OR TWO.
00:33:59.30\00:34:01.53
I LIKE IT THAT IN AN ORTHODOX
HOME, WHEN THE SABBATH COMES ON,
00:34:01.53\00:34:06.80
THEY LIGHT A CANDLE.
00:34:06.80\00:34:09.03
IT'S THE LORD'S DAY.
00:34:09.03\00:34:11.83
THE TELEVISION GOES OFF.
00:34:11.83\00:34:13.60
NO MORE POLITICS!
00:34:13.60\00:34:15.56
IT'S FINISHED.
00:34:15.56\00:34:17.10
IF YOU TALK POLITICS ON
THE SABBATH, YOU ARE SINNING
00:34:17.10\00:34:21.23
AGAINST GOD, AND IF YOU TALK
YOUR BUSINESS, YOU ARE SINNING
00:34:21.23\00:34:26.80
AGAINST GOD, AND IF GO SHOPPING
ON THE LORD'S DAY, YOU ARE
00:34:26.80\00:34:30.33
SINNING AGAINST GOD, EVEN IF
IT'S 5 MINUTES OF GOD'S TIME.
00:34:30.33\00:34:34.16
YOU ARE A THIEF.
00:34:34.16\00:34:40.50
"REMEMBER THE
SABBATH DAY TO KEEP IT HOLY."
00:34:40.50\00:34:47.53
EVERY ONE OF US SHOULD HAVE
A LITTLE CEREMONY WHEN WE OPEN
00:34:47.53\00:34:52.36
AND WE CLOSE THE SABBATH.
00:34:52.36\00:34:55.10
IF I HAD TIME TODAY--AND TIME
WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO DO AS MUCH
00:34:55.10\00:34:59.33
AS I WANT TO--I WOULD POINT
OUT THAT JESUS RISKED HIS LIFE
00:34:59.33\00:35:04.30
AND MISSION TO SHOW THE
IMPORTANCE OF THE SABBATH.
00:35:04.30\00:35:09.16
IT IS RECORDED THAT HE
PERFORMED SEVEN MIRACLES
00:35:09.16\00:35:13.46
ON THE SABBATH DAY.
00:35:13.46\00:35:16.83
I DON'T HAVE TIME TO GET YOU TO
TURN TO THE TEXT, BUT HE HEALED
00:35:16.83\00:35:22.63
A MAN WHO WAS FILLED WITH
DEMONS, A WOMAN WHO WAS BENT
00:35:22.63\00:35:27.23
OVER, A MAN, THE BIBLE CALLS
HIM THE IMPOTENT MAN, SICK FOR
00:35:27.23\00:35:32.66
38 YEARS, AND THE
BIBLE TELLS ME, BECAUSE OF
00:35:32.66\00:35:39.16
OUR LORD'S ACTIVITY
ON THE SABBATH, THE JEWS
00:35:39.16\00:35:44.66
HELD A COUNCIL TO
HAVE HIM PUT TO DEATH.
00:35:44.66\00:35:50.80
IT HAS ESCAPED THE ATTENTION
OF ALMOST ALL THE THEOLOGIANS
00:35:50.80\00:35:52.56
THAT JESUS RESTORED THE SABBATH
00:35:52.56\00:35:55.23
TO ITS EDENIC GLORY.
00:35:58.83\00:36:03.56
NOW SOME PEOPLE THAT WILL
ADMIT THAT, YES, JESUS RESTORED
00:36:03.56\00:36:07.03
THE SABBATH, BUT THEN
THEY TELL ME HE ABOLISHED IT.
00:36:07.03\00:36:13.56
CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?
00:36:13.56\00:36:15.53
HERE IS A MAN, MY
FRIEND, WHO'S GOT AN OLD HOUSE.
00:36:15.53\00:36:19.76
IT'S BEEN ALLOWED TO GO
INTO A SHAMBLES, AND HE WORKS,
00:36:19.76\00:36:21.83
AND HE RESTORES THE HOUSE,
00:36:21.83\00:36:24.53
AND THEN HE BURNS IT DOWN.
00:36:27.46\00:36:30.20
HOW ABSURD!
00:36:30.20\00:36:32.83
OUR BLESSED LORD CAME TO SAVE
US FROM OUR SINS, AND WHEN JESUS
00:36:32.83\00:36:37.86
CAME, HE RESTORED
THE HOUSE OF THE SABBATH,
00:36:37.86\00:36:44.40
BECAUSE IT IS SO IMPORTANT.
00:36:44.40\00:36:47.63
THE SABBATH IS THE
SIGN OF LOYALTY TO GOD.
00:36:47.63\00:36:52.63
YOU SAY, "ISN'T
THAT GOING TOO FAR?"
00:36:52.63\00:36:54.56
ONLY AS FAR AS
THE BIBLE TAKES ME.
00:36:54.56\00:36:56.66
COME OVER HERE TO EZEKIEL 20:12,
EZEKIEL 20:12, EZEKIEL 20:12.
00:36:56.66\00:37:10.90
PEOPLE SAY, "WHY DO
YOU USE THE OLD TESTAMENT?"
00:37:10.90\00:37:13.26
BECAUSE THAT'S THE
ONLY BIBLE JESUS EVER HAD.
00:37:13.26\00:37:16.73
I USE THE OLD AND THE NEW.
00:37:16.73\00:37:19.36
EZEKIEL 20:12, THE BIBLE SAYS,
"ALSO I GAVE THEM MY SABBATHS AS
00:37:19.36\00:37:27.66
A SIGN BETWEEN US, SO THAT THEY
WOULD KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD,
00:37:27.66\00:37:33.76
MAKE THEM HOLY."
00:37:33.76\00:37:36.06
AND THEN YOU COME TO VERSE 20.
00:37:36.06\00:37:37.53
"KEEP MY SABBATHS HOLY, THAT
THEY MAY BE A SIGN BETWEEN US.
00:37:37.53\00:37:41.80
THEN YOU WILL KNOW THAT
I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD."
00:37:41.80\00:37:45.70
NOW, FRIEND, I'M GOING TO PUT
IT OVER HERE ON THE BLACKBOARD.
00:37:45.70\00:37:49.90
THE BIBLE TELLS ME
THAT THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH
00:37:49.90\00:37:55.90
IS A SIGN OF LOYALTY TO GOD.
00:37:55.90\00:38:00.46
REMEMBER THE GIRL WHO SET OUT
FOR THE BATTLE, AND THEY SAID,
00:38:00.46\00:38:04.10
"YOU WON'T DO MUCH
WITH THAT OLD STICK!"
00:38:04.10\00:38:06.86
SHE SAID, "AT LEAST
THEY'LL KNOW WHAT SIDE I'M ON."
00:38:06.86\00:38:10.50
WHEN YOU COME TO
CHURCH, AND WHEN YOU TURN OFF
00:38:10.50\00:38:14.06
THE TELEVISION, AND THE RADIO,
AND ALL OF THOSE WORLDLY THINGS,
00:38:14.06\00:38:19.16
IT IS A SIGN
BETWEEN YOU AND GOD.
00:38:19.16\00:38:22.66
IN FACT, THE BIBLE TELLS ME
THE SABBATH IS THE SEAL OF GOD.
00:38:22.66\00:38:29.60
NOW, IN A SEAL,
YOU HAVE THREE THINGS.
00:38:29.60\00:38:34.46
YOU HAVE THE PERSON'S NAME,
SUCH AS OBAMA, BARACK OBAMA.
00:38:34.46\00:38:46.26
YOU HAVE HIS NAME, THEN
THE TITLE, THE PRESIDENT,
00:38:46.26\00:38:52.50
AND THEN THE TERRITORY,
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
00:38:52.50\00:38:59.43
NOW, IF YOU PICK UP AN
ENGLISH COIN, YOU'LL READ THERE,
00:38:59.43\00:39:03.00
ELIZABETH.
00:39:03.00\00:39:04.93
THEN IT SAYS, QUEEN, AND
THEN IT SAYS GREAT BRITAIN
00:39:04.93\00:39:10.73
AND HER TERRITORIES; THE NAME,
THE TITLE, AND THE TERRITORY.
00:39:10.73\00:39:14.53
THERE IS ONLY ONE COMMANDMENT
IN THE BIBLE THAT HAS THOSE
00:39:14.53\00:39:19.46
THREE CHARACTERISTICS.
00:39:19.46\00:39:21.40
IT SAYS THE LORD.
00:39:21.40\00:39:24.06
THERE IS HIS NAME.
00:39:24.06\00:39:25.33
THE LORD, HE
MADE-- HE'S THE MAKER.
00:39:25.33\00:39:30.46
HE'S THE CREATOR--AND IT
SAYS THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH.
00:39:30.46\00:39:35.63
THE SABBATH IS THE GREAT SEAL OF
THE ALMIGHTY GOD, AND HE SAYS,
00:39:35.63\00:39:41.60
"REMEMBER THE
SABBATH DAY TO KEEP IT HOLY."
00:39:41.60\00:39:48.30
WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN THE SABBATH GOES?
00:39:48.30\00:39:51.23
NOW, MANY THINKING PEOPLE TODAY
ARE CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT IS
00:39:51.23\00:39:57.66
HAPPENING IN AMERICA
AND AROUND THE WORLD.
00:39:57.66\00:40:02.66
THEY SAY, "WHAT HAS
GONE WRONG WITH OUR SOCIETY?
00:40:02.66\00:40:08.56
THERE IS SO MUCH INCREASING
VIOLENCE, AND LAWLESSNESS,
00:40:08.56\00:40:13.36
AND LYING, AND
CHEATING, AND STEALING.
00:40:13.36\00:40:16.83
WHOM CAN YOU TRUST?"
00:40:16.83\00:40:19.46
AND THEY SAY THE DIVORCE COURTS
ARE SO FILLED, YOU'VE GOT TO
00:40:19.46\00:40:23.70
QUEUE UP AROUND THE BLOCK.
00:40:23.70\00:40:28.13
WHAT HAPPENED TO AMERICA?
00:40:28.13\00:40:31.73
WHAT HAPPENED TO THOSE GREAT
COUNTRIES THAT GOT RAISED UP
00:40:31.73\00:40:35.76
TO PREACH THE GOSPEL?
00:40:35.76\00:40:38.63
WELL, COME OVER HERE
TO THE BOOK OF JEREMIAH,
00:40:38.63\00:40:41.83
AND YOU'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENED.
00:40:41.83\00:40:44.36
JEREMIAH 17:19 AND ONWARDS,
DEAR HEARTS AND GENTLE PEOPLE.
00:40:44.36\00:40:54.13
JEREMIAH 17:19 AND ONWARDS.
00:40:54.13\00:40:57.56
"THIS IS WHAT THE LORD SAID
TO ME: 'GO AND STAND AT THE GATE
00:40:57.56\00:41:00.70
OF THE PEOPLE, THROUGH
WHICH THE KINGS OF JUDAH
00:41:00.70\00:41:03.33
GO IN AND OUT; STAND ALSO AT
THE OTHER GATES OF JERUSALEM.
00:41:03.33\00:41:07.20
SAY TO THEM, HEAR THE WORD
OF THE LORD, O KINGS OF JUDAH
00:41:07.20\00:41:10.43
AND ALL PEOPLE OF JUDAH AND
EVERYONE LIVING IN JERUSALEM
00:41:10.43\00:41:14.30
WHO COME THROUGH THESE GATES.
00:41:14.30\00:41:15.90
THIS IS WHAT THE LORD SAYS:
BE CAREFUL NOT TO CARRY A LOAD
00:41:15.90\00:41:19.63
ON THE SABBATH DAY OR BRING IT
THROUGH THE GATES OF JERUSALEM.
00:41:19.63\00:41:23.56
DO NOT BRING A LOAD OUT
OF YOUR HOUSES OR DO ANY WORK
00:41:23.56\00:41:26.70
ON THE SABBATH, BUT
KEEP THE SABBATH DAY HOLY,
00:41:26.70\00:41:30.90
AS I COMMANDED YOUR FOREFATHERS.
00:41:30.90\00:41:33.36
YET THEY DID NOT LISTEN OR PAY
ATTENTION," LIKE SO MANY OF US.
00:41:33.36\00:41:38.20
WE HEAR THE WORD OF
GOD PREACHED, AND WE PAY
00:41:38.20\00:41:41.16
NO ATTENTION.
00:41:41.16\00:41:42.83
"THEY WERE
STIFF-NECKED--" THEY SAID,
00:41:42.83\00:41:45.16
"DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO."
00:41:45.16\00:41:47.06
"AND WOULD NOT LISTEN
OR RESPOND TO DISCIPLINE.
00:41:47.06\00:41:52.03
BUT IF YOU ARE CAREFUL TO OBEY
ME, DECLARES THE LORD, AND BRING
00:41:52.03\00:41:56.23
NO LOAD THROUGH THE GATES OF
THIS CITY ON THE SABBATH, BUT
00:41:56.23\00:41:59.80
KEEP THE SABBATH DAY HOLY BY NOT
DOING ANY WORK ON IT, THEN KINGS
00:41:59.80\00:42:03.96
WHO SIT ON DAVID'S THRONE
WILL COME THROUGH THE GATES OF
00:42:03.96\00:42:07.50
THIS CITY WITH THEIR OFFICIALS.
00:42:07.50\00:42:09.50
THEY AND THEIR OFFICIALS WILL
COME RIDING IN CHARIOTS AND ON
00:42:09.50\00:42:12.93
HORSES, ACCOMPANIED BY THE
MEN OF JUDAH AND THOSE LIVING
00:42:12.93\00:42:17.10
IN JERUSALEM, AND THIS
CITY WILL BE INHABITED FOREVER.
00:42:17.10\00:42:22.93
PEOPLE WILL COME FROM THE TOWNS
OF JUDAH AND THE VILLAGES AROUND
00:42:22.93\00:42:26.23
JERUSALEM, AND THE TERRITORY
OF BENJAMIN AND THE WESTERN
00:42:26.23\00:42:29.96
FOOTHILLS, FROM THE HILL COUNTRY
OF THE NEGEV, BRINGING BURNT
00:42:29.96\00:42:33.73
OFFERINGS AND
SACRIFICES, GRAIN OFFERINGS,
00:42:33.73\00:42:36.40
INCENSE AND THANK OFFERINGS
TO THE HOUSE OF THE LORD."
00:42:36.40\00:42:40.56
NOW LISTEN TO THE WORD.
00:42:40.56\00:42:42.33
"BUT IF YOU DO NOT OBEY ME TO
KEEP THE SABBATH DAY HOLY BY NOT
00:42:42.33\00:42:50.60
CARRYING ANY LOAD AS YOU COME
THROUGH THE GATES OF JERUSALEM
00:42:50.60\00:42:54.13
ON THE SABBATH DAY, THEN I
WILL KINDLE AN UNQUENCHABLE FIRE
00:42:54.13\00:42:58.76
IN THE GATES OF JERUSALEM THAT
WILL CONSUME HER FORTRESSES."
00:42:58.76\00:43:04.53
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT
JERUSALEM WOULD'VE STOOD FOREVER
00:43:04.53\00:43:11.83
IF THE CHILDREN OF
ISRAEL HAD BELIEVED THE GOSPEL
00:43:11.83\00:43:18.03
AND KEPT THE SABBATH.
00:43:18.03\00:43:20.86
NOW, MOST FOLKS SAY AROUND
THE WORLD THAT THE GREATEST
00:43:20.86\00:43:28.33
THEOLOGIAN OF THE 20TH CENTURY
WAS THAT GREAT MAN, KARL BARTH.
00:43:28.33\00:43:37.13
I DON'T SUPPOSE ANY THEOLOGIAN
IN MODERN TIMES IS RESPECTED
00:43:37.13\00:43:41.33
MORE THAN KARL BARTH.
00:43:41.33\00:43:45.20
NOW, MY PREACHER
FRIENDS, LISTEN TO KARL BARTH,
00:43:45.20\00:43:48.93
IF YOU WON'T LISTEN TO ME.
00:43:48.93\00:43:50.96
"DE QUERVAIN IS ONLY
TOO RIGHT IN THIS RESPECT,"
00:43:50.96\00:43:56.33
HE'S QUOTING THIS
GUY, "WHERE THE HOLY DAY
00:43:56.33\00:43:59.36
BECOMES THE DAY OF
MAN," THAT'S THE SABBATH,
00:43:59.36\00:44:03.16
"SOCIETY AND HUMANITY WITHER
AWAY AND THE DEMONS RULE."
00:44:03.16\00:44:09.80
HE SAID WHEN PEOPLE GIVE UP
THE SABBATH, THEY GO DOWNHILL,
00:44:09.80\00:44:16.50
AND THE DEMONS RULE.
00:44:16.50\00:44:21.36
WHAT IS HAPPENING TODAY
IN AMERICA AND THE WORLD?
00:44:21.36\00:44:25.60
I TELL YOU, MY
FRIEND, THE DEMONS ARE RULING,
00:44:25.60\00:44:30.53
AND IT'S GOING TO GET WORSE.
00:44:30.53\00:44:32.73
HE SAYS, "THE HOLY DAY IS
A SIGN, AND KEEPING IT HOLY
00:44:32.73\00:44:38.10
AN EXERCISE, OF MAN'S FREEDOM
BEFORE GOD AND THE SPECIAL
00:44:38.10\00:44:43.43
RESPONSIBILITY TOWARDS
HIM IN WHICH HE IS MAN,
00:44:43.43\00:44:46.63
THE HUMAN CREATURE.
00:44:46.63\00:44:48.53
AS THE REGULAR OBSERVANCE
OF A DEFINITE PORTION OF TIME,
00:44:48.53\00:44:54.13
KEEPING THE HOLY DAY IS THE
MOST VISIBLE AND, BECAUSE OF
00:44:54.13\00:44:58.00
THIS DAY'S SPECIAL MEANING,
THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE FORM OF
00:44:58.00\00:45:06.73
THIS SPECIAL RESPONSIBILITY."
00:45:06.73\00:45:10.16
YOU GIVE UP THE SABBATH,
MY FRIEND, WHAT GOES NEXT?
00:45:10.16\00:45:13.93
MARRIAGE AND THEN MORALITY
AND THE COLLAPSE OF SOCIETY.
00:45:13.93\00:45:22.16
AND THE POPE IS WISER THAN MOST
OF US, AND HE RECOGNIZES IT,
00:45:22.16\00:45:27.03
AND THAT IS WHY HE PUT OUT
THAT GREAT PAPER, ENTITLED,
00:45:27.03\00:45:31.23
"THE LORD'S DAY."
00:45:31.23\00:45:32.90
HE SAID, "UNLESS WE GET BACK
TO GOD AND KEEP THE SABBATH,
00:45:32.90\00:45:36.40
WE'RE FINISHED."
00:45:36.40\00:45:39.70
AND NOW YOU HAVE THE LORD'S DAY
ALLIANCE ALL OVER THE WORLD, AND
00:45:39.70\00:45:44.36
THEY'RE SAYING WE'VE GOT TO GET
BACK TO GOD, AND WE'VE GOT TO
00:45:44.36\00:45:48.06
KEEP THE SABBATH, BECAUSE
WE'RE SUNK WITHOUT THE SABBATH;
00:45:48.06\00:45:54.93
AND, OF COURSE, THEY'RE RIGHT.
00:45:54.93\00:45:58.16
WHAT THEY DON'T RECOGNIZE,
HOWEVER, IS THAT THEY'RE
00:45:58.16\00:46:02.20
PROMOTING A COUNTERFEIT SABBATH,
AND ONE DAY THAT COUNTERFEIT
00:46:02.20\00:46:07.33
WILL BE ENFORCED BY LAW.
00:46:07.33\00:46:10.30
COME OVER HERE TO DANIEL 7:25.
00:46:10.30\00:46:12.43
NOW, YOU KNOW THIS TEXT.
00:46:12.43\00:46:14.50
I'VE TAUGHT THIS.
00:46:14.50\00:46:15.60
YOU SHOULD HAVE
IT IN YOUR HEADS.
00:46:15.60\00:46:17.80
DANIEL 7:25,
SPEAKING OF THE GREAT CHURCH,
00:46:17.80\00:46:24.36
IT SAYS, "HE WILL
SPEAK AGAINST THE MOST
00:46:24.36\00:46:27.40
HIGH AND OPPRESS HIS SAINTS
AND TRY TO CHANGE THE SET TIMES
00:46:27.40\00:46:33.93
AND THE LAWS--" THE
BIBLE SAYS THE GREAT STATE
00:46:33.93\00:46:37.86
CHURCH WOULD
CHANGE THE HOLY SABBATH.
00:46:37.86\00:46:44.20
NOW, LET ME READ TO
YOU FROM THE BAPTISTS.
00:46:44.20\00:46:48.10
I WANT ANY PERSON WHO IS A
BAPTIST WATCHING THE TELECAST
00:46:48.10\00:46:53.30
TO LISTEN TO THIS
STATEMENT FROM OUR LEADER
00:46:53.30\00:46:58.06
OF THE BAPTIST CHURCH.
00:46:58.06\00:46:59.93
HERE IT IS.
00:46:59.93\00:47:02.33
"THERE WAS AND IS A COMMANDMENT
TO KEEP HOLY THE SABBATH DAY,
00:47:02.33\00:47:09.36
BUT THAT SABBATH DAY WAS
NOT SUNDAY," SAYS THE BAPTIST.
00:47:09.36\00:47:14.06
"IT WILL BE SAID, HOWEVER,
AND WITH SOME SHOW OF TRIUMPH,
00:47:14.06\00:47:17.20
THAT THE SABBATH WAS
TRANSFERRED FROM THE SEVENTH TO
00:47:17.20\00:47:21.40
THE FIRST DAY OF THE
WEEK--" THE BAPTIST SAYS,
00:47:21.40\00:47:24.56
"WHERE CAN THE RECORD OF
SUCH A TRANSACTION BE FOUND?
00:47:24.56\00:47:27.53
NOT IN THE NEW
TESTAMENT-- ABSOLUTELY NOT.
00:47:27.53\00:47:31.70
THERE IS NO SCRIPTURAL EVIDENCE
OF THE CHANGE OF THE SABBATH
00:47:31.70\00:47:35.53
INSTITUTION FROM THE
SEVENTH TO THE FIRST DAY,"
00:47:35.53\00:47:39.06
SAYS THE BAPTIST.
00:47:39.06\00:47:40.90
"OF COURSE, I QUITE WELL KNOW
THAT SUNDAY DID COME INTO USE
00:47:40.90\00:47:44.13
IN EARLY CHRISTIAN HISTORY
AS A RELIGIOUS DAY, AS WE LEARN
00:47:44.13\00:47:48.23
FROM CHRISTIAN
FATHERS AND OTHER SOURCES.
00:47:48.23\00:47:51.40
BUT WHAT A PITY THAT IT
COMES BRANDED WITH THE MARK OF
00:47:51.40\00:47:54.80
PAGANISM, AND CHRISTENED
WITH THE NAME OF THE SUN GOD,
00:47:54.80\00:48:00.66
WHEN ADOPTED AND SANCTIONED
BY THE PAPAL APOSTASY, AND
00:48:00.66\00:48:05.00
BEQUEATHED AS A SACRED
LEGACY TO PROTESTANTISM!"
00:48:05.00\00:48:10.13
DR. HISCOX, THE AUTHOR
OF THE BAPTIST MANUAL--
00:48:10.13\00:48:15.10
AND HE'S RIGHT.
00:48:15.10\00:48:16.30
LOOK WHAT THE
CATHOLIC CHURCH SAYS.
00:48:16.30\00:48:19.46
"HAVE YOU ANY OTHER WAY OF
PROVING THAT THE CHURCH HAS
00:48:19.46\00:48:21.50
POWER TO INSTITUTE
FESTIVALS OF PRECEPT?"
00:48:21.50\00:48:25.20
"ANSWER: HAD SHE NOT SUCH POWER,
SHE COULD NOT HAVE DONE THAT IN
00:48:25.20\00:48:31.40
WHICH ALL MODERN RELIGIONISTS
AGREE WITH HER; SHE COULD NOT
00:48:31.40\00:48:35.40
HAVE SUBSTITUTED THE OBSERVANCE
OF SUNDAY THE FIRST DAY OF
00:48:35.40\00:48:39.06
THE WEEK, FOR THE OBSERVANCE
OF SATURDAY THE SEVENTH DAY,
00:48:39.06\00:48:43.60
A CHANGE FOR WHICH THERE
IS NO SCRIPTURAL AUTHORITY."
00:48:43.60\00:48:49.73
"QUESTION:
WHICH IS THE SABBATH?"
00:48:49.73\00:48:51.50
"SATURDAY IS THE SABBATH,"
SAYS THE CHURCH OF ROME.
00:48:51.50\00:48:54.76
"WHY DO WE OBSERVE
SUNDAY INSTEAD OF SATURDAY?"
00:48:54.76\00:48:57.10
"WE OBSERVE SUNDAY INSTEAD
OF SATURDAY BECAUSE THE CATHOLIC
00:48:57.10\00:49:00.50
CHURCH, IN THE COUNCIL
OF LAODICEA, TRANSFERRED
00:49:00.50\00:49:05.20
THE SOLEMNITY FROM
SATURDAY TO SUNDAY."
00:49:05.20\00:49:09.96
I APPEAL TO YOU, MY FRIEND,
IN THIS MATTER, TO FOLLOW CHRIST
00:49:09.96\00:49:15.13
AND NOT THE
TEACHINGS OF THE CHURCH.
00:49:15.13\00:49:18.90
NOW, LET ME TELL YOU WHAT
I BELIEVE IS GOING TO COME,
00:49:18.90\00:49:22.20
AND I ALLUDED TO THIS LAST
WEEK, AND I GAVE YOU THE TEXT;
00:49:22.20\00:49:26.53
THEREFORE, I SHALL NOT
TURN TO THEM AGAIN NOW.
00:49:26.53\00:49:30.43
THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT A
LAMB-LIKE POWER, WHO SPEAKS
00:49:30.43\00:49:35.36
AS A DRAGON, A GREAT
APOSTATE RELIGIOUS POWER.
00:49:35.36\00:49:41.36
HE BRINGS DOWN FIRE FROM HEAVEN.
00:49:41.36\00:49:45.36
HE'S THE COUNTERFEIT ELIJAH.
00:49:41.36\00:49:45.36
HE IS THE GREAT PRETENDER!
00:49:49.06\00:49:52.33
AND THEN THE BIBLE SAYS
HE'S GOING TO SET UP AN IMAGE TO
00:49:52.33\00:49:56.80
THE BEAST, A COPY OF THE BEAST,
AND THE BEAST, OF COURSE, IS
00:49:56.80\00:50:00.86
THE UNION OF CHURCH AND STATE.
00:50:00.86\00:50:04.43
AND THEN THE BIBLE SAYS HE
COMMANDS THAT EVERYONE RECEIVES
00:50:04.43\00:50:12.30
A MARK IN HIS RIGHT
HAND-- THAT'S THE WORK--OR IN
00:50:12.30\00:50:16.30
THE FOREHEAD--THAT'S THE MIND.
00:50:18.50\00:50:21.50
IT'S IN THE HAND.
00:50:21.50\00:50:25.33
YOU DON'T EVEN
HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT
00:50:25.33\00:50:28.16
TO GET THE MARK OF THE
BEAST, AND THE MARK OF THE BEAST
00:50:28.16\00:50:33.40
IS THE GREAT COUNTERFEIT
TO THE SIGN AND THE SEAL
00:50:33.40\00:50:38.50
OF ALMIGHTY GOD.
00:50:38.50\00:50:42.70
DO YOU KNOW
WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN?
00:50:42.70\00:50:45.13
CONDITIONS ARE GOING TO GET SO
BAD IN THE WORLD, AND THE PAPACY
00:50:45.13\00:50:50.76
RECOGNIZES THIS BETTER THAN MANY
OF US, AND THE PAPACY WILL SAY--
00:50:50.76\00:50:57.56
AND THE POPE
HAS ALREADY SAID IT.
00:50:57.56\00:51:01.30
HE'S WRITTEN A WONDERFUL ARTICLE
ON THE SABBATH, HIS SABBATH,
00:51:01.30\00:51:08.30
AND HE SAYS SOCIETY IS ABOUT
TO IMPLODE AND MAYBE EXPLODE.
00:51:08.30\00:51:17.13
MAYBE THE ECONOMIES OF THE WORLD
WILL COLLAPSE, IF NOT THIS TIME,
00:51:17.13\00:51:22.70
BUT SOMETIME, AND THERE'LL BE
RIOTING IN THE STREETS, AND THEN
00:51:22.70\00:51:28.53
A CRY WILL GO UP TO GOD FROM
THE CHURCHES, "WE MUST RETURN
00:51:28.53\00:51:33.56
TO THE SABBATH."
00:51:33.56\00:51:40.80
AND IT'LL BE THE
SABBATH OF THE ANTICHRIST.
00:51:40.80\00:51:46.40
THE MARK OF THE BEAST
IS A COUNTERFEIT SABBATH.
00:51:46.40\00:51:53.83
HE SHALL THINK HIMSELF ABLE TO
CHANGE THE TIMES AND THE LAWS.
00:51:53.83\00:52:03.46
AND PEOPLE ARE GOING TO
GET THE MARK OF THE BEAST.
00:52:03.46\00:52:05.66
THE VAST MAJORITY ARE GOING
TO GET THE MARK OF THE BEAST,
00:52:05.66\00:52:09.00
BECAUSE THEY'VE NEVER TAKEN
CHRIST INTO THEIR HEARTS AND
00:52:09.00\00:52:13.96
UNDERSTOOD THE TRUTHFULNESS
OF THE GOSPEL THAT IS POINTED TO
00:52:13.96\00:52:22.10
BY THE COMMANDMENT THAT
SAYS, "ENTER INTO REST."
00:52:22.10\00:52:26.40
REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY.
00:52:26.40\00:52:31.76
THE ONLY WAY THAT YOU AND I CAN
ESCAPE THE MARK IS BY GETTING
00:52:31.76\00:52:36.46
THE SIGN--NOT IN THE HAND--
YOU CAN'T GET IT IN THE HAND--
00:52:36.46\00:52:41.90
BUT IN THE FOREHEAD.
00:52:41.90\00:52:46.73
YOU'RE GOING TO
SEE IT, I BELIEVE.
00:52:46.73\00:52:50.23
THERE'LL BE TWO
CLASSES-- ONE A LITTLE CLASS.
00:52:50.23\00:52:53.83
NEVER THINK THE
MAJORITY HAVE GOT IT RIGHT,
00:52:53.83\00:52:57.53
THE MAJORITY HAS NEVER
BEEN ON THE SIDE OF TRUTH.
00:52:57.53\00:53:02.10
ONE CLASS WHO HOLD ONTO CHRIST,
SOLA CHRISTUS, SOLA SCRIPTURA,
00:53:02.10\00:53:09.43
SOLA GRATIA, SOLA FIDE.
00:53:09.43\00:53:13.16
AND BY THE GRACE OF
GOD, KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS.
00:53:13.16\00:53:16.40
THEY DESCRIBE, "HERE ARE THEY
WHO KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD
00:53:16.40\00:53:19.60
AND HAVE THE FAITH OF JESUS.
00:53:19.60\00:53:22.33
THEY KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS
AND THE HOLY SABBATH."
00:53:22.33\00:53:26.90
AND THERE'LL BE ANOTHER CLASS.
00:53:26.96\00:53:28.16
IT'LL BE A VAST COMPANY.
00:53:28.16\00:53:32.20
DO THEY READ THEIR BIBLES?
00:53:32.20\00:53:33.53
NO.
00:53:33.53\00:53:35.46
DO THEY STUDY THE WORD?
00:53:35.46\00:53:36.93
NO.
00:53:36.93\00:53:38.06
DO THEY THINK FOR THEMSELVES?
00:53:38.06\00:53:39.70
NO!
00:53:39.70\00:53:41.16
THEY FALL IN WITH THE CROWD.
00:53:41.16\00:53:43.23
THEY TAKE THE PATH
OF LEAST RESISTANCE.
00:53:43.23\00:53:44.16
ALL THROUGH THEIR LIVES,
00:53:44.16\00:53:46.40
THEY HAVE BEEN CONFORMISTS.
00:53:47.96\00:53:53.46
SO, THE BIG CLASS,
THEY FOLLOW THE BEAST,
00:53:53.46\00:53:58.56
THE COUNTERFEIT TO THE LAMB.
00:53:58.56\00:54:01.16
THEY KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS
OF THE CHURCH AND HIS
00:54:01.16\00:54:05.06
COUNTERFEIT SABBATH.
00:54:05.06\00:54:08.50
TWO CLASSES.
00:54:08.50\00:54:12.43
AND THE QUESTION WE SHOULD ASK
OURSELVES OR THE QUESTIONS WE
00:54:12.43\00:54:16.46
SHOULD ASK OURSELVES ARE
THESE; WHO HAS OUR HEARTS?
00:54:16.46\00:54:25.43
PEOPLE SAY, "ANYBODY
CAN KEEP THE SABBATH."
00:54:25.43\00:54:30.16
WHY DON'T YOU TRY?
00:54:30.16\00:54:31.73
YOU'LL FIND IT
TAKES DEDICATION TO GOD.
00:54:31.73\00:54:35.26
IT TAKES CONSECRATION TO GOD.
00:54:35.26\00:54:37.60
IT TAKES DISCIPLINE.
00:54:37.60\00:54:39.83
WHEN I BECOME A
CHRISTIAN, I BECOME A DISCIPLE.
00:54:39.83\00:54:42.56
A MAN CAME TO THIS CHURCH.
00:54:42.56\00:54:43.83
I BAPTIZED HIM YEARS AGO.
00:54:43.83\00:54:45.16
HE SAID, "I CANNOT
STAY IN THIS CHURCH.
00:54:45.16\00:54:47.50
I'M LOOKING FOR A CHURCH WHERE
I DO NOT NEED TO BE A DISCIPLE."
00:54:47.50\00:54:52.73
HE SAID, "I WILL
JUST BE A BELIEVER."
00:54:52.73\00:54:57.16
NO.
00:54:57.16\00:55:00.50
A TRUE BELIEVER IS A DISCIPLE.
00:55:00.50\00:55:04.80
THERE'LL BE TWO CLASSES:
FOLLOWERS AND DISCIPLES.
00:55:04.80\00:55:13.73
I'M GOING TO ASK A
YOUNG MEMBER OF OUR CHURCH--
00:55:13.73\00:55:17.56
HER NAME IS SYDNEY
WEXLER-- HAS A WONDERFUL FAMILY:
00:55:17.56\00:55:25.40
BENJAMIN, DONNA, AND BLAKE.
00:55:25.40\00:55:28.30
WE LOVE THEM.
00:55:28.30\00:55:29.40
AND NOT ONLY DO WE
LOVE THEM, WE LIKE THEM.
00:55:29.40\00:55:32.83
AND SHE'S GOING TO COME HERE,
AND SHE'S GOING TO GET YOU TO
00:55:32.83\00:55:36.40
TURN IN YOUR
BIBLES TO ISAIAH 58.
00:55:36.40\00:55:38.90
WE'RE GOING TO GIVE THEM
00:55:38.90\00:55:42.56
A MOMENT TO FIND IT, OKAY?
00:55:44.26\00:55:46.80
>> OKAY.
00:55:46.80\00:55:47.53
>> YOU LOOK GOOD.
00:55:47.53\00:55:48.83
>> THANK YOU.
00:55:48.83\00:55:49.70
>> YEAH.
00:55:49.70\00:55:51.00
YOUR MOTHER'S SORT OF A
BIT NERVOUS, BUT YOU LOOK GOOD.
00:55:51.00\00:55:54.23
ISAIAH 58.
00:55:54.23\00:55:56.96
WHAT VERSE?
00:55:56.96\00:55:59.03
>> ISAIAH 58:11-14.
00:55:56.96\00:55:59.03
"THE LORD WILL GUIDE YOU ALWAYS.
00:56:02.26\00:56:04.50
HE WILL SATISFY YOUR NEEDS
IN A SUN-SCORCHED LAND AND WILL
00:56:04.50\00:56:08.10
STRENGTHEN YOUR FRAME.
00:56:08.10\00:56:09.73
YOU WILL BE LIKE A WELL-WATERED
GARDEN, LIKE A SPRING WHOSE
00:56:09.73\00:56:13.13
WATERS NEVER FAIL.
00:56:13.13\00:56:14.76
YOUR PEOPLE WILL REBUILD
THE ANCIENT RUINS AND WILL RAISE
00:56:14.76\00:56:18.43
UP THE AGE OLD FOUNDATIONS.
00:56:18.43\00:56:20.93
YOU WILL BE CALLED REPAIRER
OF BROKEN WALLS, RESTORER OF
00:56:20.93\00:56:24.90
STREETS WITH DWELLINGS.
00:56:24.90\00:56:26.96
IF YOU KEEP YOUR FEET FROM
