Welcome to a new
Carter Report series,
00:00:01.36\00:00:03.93
The Game Changers.
00:00:03.97\00:00:05.80
These rare individuals
appear once in a lifetime.
00:00:05.83\00:00:09.47
Like a blazing
meteor across the night sky,
00:00:09.50\00:00:12.47
they change the
course of history.
00:00:12.51\00:00:15.28
They show us the way forward.
00:00:15.31\00:00:18.28
Welcome to The Game Changers.
00:00:18.31\00:00:22.55
Welcome back, my
friends, to the Game Changers.
00:00:26.32\00:00:29.19
Today, we're talking about
00:00:29.22\00:00:30.73
the mighty
prince of ancient Egypt,
00:00:30.76\00:00:33.03
Moses, the man who gave us
00:00:33.06\00:00:35.06
the first five
books of the Bible,
00:00:35.10\00:00:37.67
and who changed
the course of history.
00:00:37.70\00:00:41.57
I believe, we know
who the pharaoh was
00:00:41.60\00:00:44.77
with whom Moses
had the confrontation.
00:00:44.81\00:00:48.04
I believe, if you go according
to the 15th century Exodus,
00:00:48.08\00:00:53.62
I believe, it was Tuthmosis III,
00:00:53.65\00:00:57.55
the stepson of
Princess Hatshepsut,
00:00:57.59\00:01:01.82
who herself became the pharaoh.
00:01:01.86\00:01:04.86
Tuthmosis III was
one of the greatest kings
00:01:04.89\00:01:07.33
in the history of the world.
00:01:07.36\00:01:09.23
He was a warrior
king, mighty man,
00:01:09.26\00:01:12.30
man with great courage,
man of great power and success.
00:01:12.33\00:01:16.84
Had tremendous
armies, hundreds of chariots,
00:01:16.87\00:01:20.88
had a tremendous navy.
00:01:20.91\00:01:24.45
The question is, how
could an old has been
00:01:24.48\00:01:29.92
who's 80 years of age,
00:01:29.95\00:01:32.75
who spent the last 40
years out on a desert,
00:01:32.79\00:01:35.92
how can he come and
confront Tuthmosis III?
00:01:35.96\00:01:41.43
He goes up to
Tuthmosis and he says,
00:01:41.46\00:01:43.77
"God has sent me,
let my people go."
00:01:43.80\00:01:47.70
Now I want you
to take the Bible,
00:01:47.74\00:01:49.20
look at Exodus 6:1, 2.
00:01:49.24\00:01:52.47
"And the Lord said to Moses,
00:01:52.51\00:01:54.54
'Now you will see
what I will do to Pharaoh.
00:01:54.58\00:01:58.91
For with a strong
hand he will let them go,
00:01:58.95\00:02:02.65
and with a strong hand
00:02:02.68\00:02:04.35
he will drive
them out of his land.'
00:02:04.39\00:02:07.62
And God spoke to
Moses and said to him:
00:02:07.66\00:02:10.59
'I am the Lord.'"
00:02:10.63\00:02:13.40
Now listen, folks, I
want you to know this.
00:02:13.43\00:02:17.50
Moses is not
standing there just as Moses.
00:02:17.53\00:02:21.57
Moses is standing there as
the servant of almighty God.
00:02:21.60\00:02:28.48
And I want you to know
this, I don't care who you are.
00:02:28.51\00:02:32.45
I'm not worried about how
bad your circumstances are
00:02:32.48\00:02:36.28
but listen to this.
00:02:36.32\00:02:37.99
Moses had a living faith in God.
00:02:38.02\00:02:41.29
He was not just a lot of talk.
This was not a casual faith.
00:02:41.32\00:02:45.59
And I want you to know this.
00:02:45.63\00:02:48.46
One person and
Almighty God are a majority.
00:02:48.50\00:02:55.44
If you've got God on your side,
you don't need to be scared
00:02:55.47\00:02:59.51
of any crooked little attorney
00:02:59.54\00:03:03.45
or any person who
wants to do you in.
00:03:03.48\00:03:06.41
One person plus God are greater
00:03:06.45\00:03:09.42
than the greatest
army in the world.
00:03:09.45\00:03:12.05
Can you believe this?
00:03:12.09\00:03:13.69
One person plus God
00:03:13.72\00:03:15.56
are mightier than
the mightiest Pharaoh.
00:03:15.59\00:03:20.66
You know some other stories,
what about David and Goliath?
00:03:20.70\00:03:25.13
Just a little boy
against a man 10 feet tall,
00:03:25.17\00:03:28.44
but he had God.
00:03:28.47\00:03:29.97
What about
Luther? And the emperor?
00:03:30.01\00:03:33.58
One Roman
Catholic monk standing up
00:03:33.61\00:03:36.44
against the whole of
the Holy Roman Empire.
00:03:36.48\00:03:40.42
God plus one
person are invincible.
00:03:40.45\00:03:43.35
What about Moses and Pharaoh?
00:03:43.39\00:03:46.02
He's not just an old
beaten up 80-year old man,
00:03:46.05\00:03:50.26
but he's a man that is endowed
00:03:50.29\00:03:52.63
with the spirit
of the living God.
00:03:52.66\00:03:55.70
But Pharaoh said, "I
do not know the Lord,
00:03:55.73\00:03:59.30
and I will not led Israel go."
00:03:59.33\00:04:03.47
And what follows were
told in sacred history.
00:04:03.51\00:04:07.64
A 10 devastating plagues...
00:04:07.68\00:04:11.55
God says, "I'll
get your attention
00:04:11.58\00:04:13.68
because I'm in
charge of the universe."
00:04:13.72\00:04:17.02
There comes the plague of blood,
00:04:17.05\00:04:19.22
the Nile, and the
lakes become blood.
00:04:19.25\00:04:23.69
Then the frogs come
up over all the land,
00:04:23.73\00:04:26.59
millions of frogs,
then the lice come.
00:04:26.63\00:04:30.10
People are
scratching. Then the flies come.
00:04:30.13\00:04:34.64
And then there's a
plague upon the livestock.
00:04:34.67\00:04:38.47
And then the
priests and everybody,
00:04:38.51\00:04:41.21
they break out in
these dreadful boils.
00:04:41.24\00:04:44.65
Then the hail, and the
thunder, and the lightning,
00:04:44.68\00:04:49.82
and then the locusts come,
00:04:49.85\00:04:51.35
and then there's the
supernatural darkness,
00:04:51.39\00:04:54.02
and the tenth
plague is the Passover.
00:04:54.06\00:04:58.29
Now the Bible says
that before Jesus returns,
00:04:58.33\00:05:01.73
it says this in
Revelation 16, there will come
00:05:01.76\00:05:05.77
seven great
plagues upon this earth.
00:05:05.80\00:05:09.37
And the only
way you can be saved
00:05:09.40\00:05:11.67
is through the
blood of the Passover.
00:05:11.71\00:05:16.31
The tenth plague
was the Passover,
00:05:16.34\00:05:18.11
what did it mean?
00:05:18.15\00:05:19.65
God said, "I'm going to
pass through the land of Egypt
00:05:19.68\00:05:23.79
and every person who
is not under the blood,
00:05:23.82\00:05:26.82
every person the firstborn child
00:05:26.86\00:05:30.56
is going to be destroyed."
00:05:30.59\00:05:33.86
And the people were told,
00:05:33.90\00:05:36.20
you've got to go and get a lamb.
00:05:36.23\00:05:39.67
And you've got to kill
the lamb which is awful thing.
00:05:39.70\00:05:44.37
And you've got to
take the blood of the lamb,
00:05:44.41\00:05:46.64
and you've got to
put it on the doorpost,
00:05:46.68\00:05:49.24
on the lintel, and
when the angel of death
00:05:49.28\00:05:54.92
passes over the Passover.
00:05:54.95\00:05:58.62
The Jews still keep it today.
00:05:58.65\00:06:00.76
The angel of
death as he passes over,
00:06:00.79\00:06:03.73
he will look down, and
when he sees the blood,
00:06:03.76\00:06:07.66
he will pass you over,
and you will not be hurt.
00:06:07.70\00:06:13.54
So what was God
teaching the people?
00:06:13.57\00:06:15.84
He was teaching the people,
my friend, that the only way,
00:06:15.87\00:06:21.34
listen to me, the
only way we can be saved
00:06:21.38\00:06:26.01
is through the blood of Christ
because Christ is the Lamb.
00:06:26.05\00:06:31.62
We are not saved
because of our goodness
00:06:31.65\00:06:34.52
or our righteousness
00:06:34.56\00:06:36.19
or because we've got
a lot of earthly power
00:06:36.22\00:06:39.09
or because we've
got a lot of money.
00:06:39.13\00:06:41.00
We're saved because
of the blood of Christ,
00:06:41.03\00:06:45.10
you see.
00:06:45.13\00:06:46.47
You know, what that is
called in the New Testament?
00:06:46.50\00:06:48.20
That is called
the gospel of God.
00:06:48.24\00:06:52.04
This is the
story of amazing grace.
00:06:52.07\00:06:55.88
There was safety for
Israel but tragedy for Pharaoh
00:06:55.91\00:07:00.12
and his firstborn son.
00:07:00.15\00:07:02.25
His firstborn
son died that night.
00:07:02.28\00:07:06.19
But there was salvation
00:07:06.22\00:07:07.56
for those who
were under the blood,
00:07:07.59\00:07:10.39
and there will be
salvation for you, my friend,
00:07:10.43\00:07:12.73
if you are under
the blood of Christ.
00:07:12.76\00:07:15.86
Now listen, listen.
00:07:18.93\00:07:21.37
Then one of the greatest events
00:07:21.40\00:07:24.71
in the history of
the human race occurred,
00:07:24.74\00:07:28.38
it is called by
historians the Exodus.
00:07:28.41\00:07:32.81
If you turn to
Exodus 13:21, it says,
00:07:32.85\00:07:38.22
"And the Lord
went before them by day
00:07:38.25\00:07:41.09
in a pillar of
cloud to lead the way,
00:07:41.12\00:07:44.06
and by night in a pillar of fire
00:07:44.09\00:07:46.70
to give them light, so
as to go by day and night."
00:07:46.73\00:07:53.50
A vast number of
people with their sheep
00:07:53.54\00:07:57.94
and their goats
and everything else,
00:07:57.97\00:08:01.88
they left the land of Egypt.
00:08:01.91\00:08:06.05
This is how Israel was
born, the nation of Israel.
00:08:06.08\00:08:12.42
And they were led by
Moses who was led by God.
00:08:12.45\00:08:15.69
The Bible says, "They were
led by a pillar in the daytime
00:08:15.72\00:08:21.30
and a pillar of
fire at night time."
00:08:21.33\00:08:25.23
And then out came Pharaoh,
most likely Tuthmosis III,
00:08:25.27\00:08:30.01
and his army.
00:08:30.04\00:08:31.57
And the children of Israel
had got down beside the Red Sea
00:08:31.61\00:08:36.54
or the Reed Sea as
some translation say.
00:08:36.58\00:08:39.65
I want you to notice
the historical record,
00:08:39.68\00:08:42.15
Exodus 14:19.
00:08:42.18\00:08:45.55
Exodus 14.
00:08:45.59\00:08:46.92
"And the Angel of God,
00:08:46.96\00:08:48.29
who went before
the camp of Israel,
00:08:48.32\00:08:50.39
moved and went behind
them, and the pillar of cloud
00:08:50.43\00:08:54.16
went from before them
and stood behind them."
00:08:54.20\00:08:59.03
This is amazing because he
got the children of Israel,
00:08:59.07\00:09:02.24
and they are totally trapped
in front of the raging waters
00:09:02.27\00:09:06.84
of the Red Sea
00:09:06.88\00:09:08.21
and behind are
the armies of Pharaoh,
00:09:08.24\00:09:11.05
and they're out for blood.
00:09:11.08\00:09:13.01
And the pillar of cloud
comes down between the two.
00:09:13.05\00:09:17.39
Now if you notice
as we read on please.
00:09:17.42\00:09:20.92
Exodus 14:21, 22.
00:09:20.96\00:09:26.96
"Then Moses stretched
out his hand over the sea,
00:09:27.00\00:09:30.40
and the Lord
caused the sea to go back
00:09:30.43\00:09:33.03
by a strong east
wind all that night,
00:09:33.07\00:09:35.77
and made the sea into dry land,
and the waters were divided.
00:09:35.80\00:09:41.88
So the children of Israel
went into the midst of the sea
00:09:41.91\00:09:44.85
on the dry ground,
00:09:44.88\00:09:46.55
and the waters
were a wall to them
00:09:46.58\00:09:48.52
on their right
hand and on their left."
00:09:48.55\00:09:51.32
It is incredible, it is true.
00:09:51.35\00:09:55.46
And Moses the man
of God was told by God,
00:09:55.49\00:09:58.89
"Reach out the rod,"
00:09:58.93\00:10:00.26
and he held out
his rod, his staff.
00:10:00.30\00:10:03.77
And Almighty God
split the sea in two.
00:10:03.80\00:10:09.27
And the children of
Israel went through on dry land
00:10:09.30\00:10:12.21
and the skeptic says,
"I cannot believe it."
00:10:12.24\00:10:17.81
But I want you to know this
that the God who made the sea
00:10:17.85\00:10:21.75
can make the sea
00:10:21.78\00:10:23.12
go wherever He wants
the sea to go, you see.
00:10:23.15\00:10:26.86
The God who walked on the water
is the God who made the water.
00:10:26.89\00:10:32.53
You see this. Listen.
00:10:32.56\00:10:35.73
Then into the dry sea bed
pulled the hordes of Pharaoh.
00:10:35.76\00:10:40.00
Exodus 14:27 says.
00:10:40.04\00:10:43.57
Exodus 14.
00:10:43.61\00:10:45.17
"And Moses stretched
out his hand over the sea,
00:10:45.21\00:10:47.81
and when the morning appeared,
00:10:47.84\00:10:49.48
the sea returned
to its full depth,
00:10:49.51\00:10:52.21
while the Egyptians
were fleeing into it.
00:10:52.25\00:10:55.78
So the Lord
overthrew the Egyptians
00:10:55.82\00:10:59.35
in the midst of the sea."
00:10:59.39\00:11:02.72
God's people went
through on dry land
00:11:02.76\00:11:05.49
and Moses the man
of God stretched out
00:11:05.53\00:11:08.93
his rod or the staff
and the sea came back.
00:11:08.96\00:11:14.37
And the enemies of
God were destroyed.
00:11:14.40\00:11:16.67
This indeed is one
of the greatest stories
00:11:20.24\00:11:23.85
in the history
of the human race.
00:11:23.88\00:11:26.72
We believe the
pharaoh was Tuthmosis III.
00:11:26.75\00:11:30.69
I have been to his
tomb on many occasions.
00:11:30.72\00:11:34.96
This is the tomb.
00:11:34.99\00:11:36.99
He died in March 1450
B.C., which is the very date
00:11:37.03\00:11:42.06
the Bible says,
the Exodus took place.
00:11:42.10\00:11:45.23
Now I want to say
this to every person today,
00:11:45.27\00:11:48.10
have faith in God.
00:11:48.14\00:11:50.81
You may feel trapped, but
God can open your Red Sea,
00:11:50.84\00:11:55.24
He can deliver you, you see.
00:11:55.28\00:11:58.81
Maybe you have
Pharaoh at your back,
00:11:58.85\00:12:01.85
some crooked attorney.
00:12:01.88\00:12:04.25
And the Red Sea in front
of you and you are desperate.
00:12:04.29\00:12:08.86
But the God we
serve is the Almighty God
00:12:08.89\00:12:12.09
who made the universe.
00:12:12.13\00:12:14.83
And then in Exodus 15:1,
2, they had a time of praise,
00:12:14.86\00:12:19.77
"Then Moses and
the children of Israel
00:12:19.80\00:12:21.80
sang this song to the Lord,
00:12:21.84\00:12:24.74
and spoke, saying, 'I
will sing to the Lord,
00:12:24.77\00:12:27.94
For He has triumphed gloriously!
00:12:27.98\00:12:31.11
The horse and its rider
He has thrown into the sea!
00:12:31.15\00:12:35.72
The Lord is my
strength and song,
00:12:35.75\00:12:37.99
And He has become my
salvation, He is my God,
00:12:38.02\00:12:41.99
and I will praise
Him, My father's God,
00:12:42.02\00:12:44.69
and I will exalt Him.
00:12:44.73\00:12:47.13
Listen to me.
00:12:47.16\00:12:49.33
You may be in a
desperate set of circumstances
00:12:49.36\00:12:55.00
but there is
nothing desperate with God.
00:12:55.04\00:12:59.91
The God who lived
in the days of Moses
00:12:59.94\00:13:03.85
is the same great
God who lives today.
00:13:03.88\00:13:07.52
Therefore, I say to
you have faith in God.
00:13:07.55\00:13:12.29
Then Moses, little while
later after they get through
00:13:12.32\00:13:16.93
the Red Sea, after
this mighty merry go,
00:13:16.96\00:13:19.09
Moses is called
up to the mountain
00:13:19.13\00:13:21.66
to meet with God.
00:13:21.70\00:13:23.03
Can you believe it?
00:13:23.06\00:13:24.40
Exodus 33:11 says these words,
00:13:24.43\00:13:28.14
"So the Lord spoke
to Moses face to face,
00:13:28.17\00:13:32.27
as a man speaks to his friend."
00:13:32.31\00:13:37.08
Almost too hard to believe.
00:13:37.11\00:13:40.35
He spoke to God.
00:13:40.38\00:13:42.05
And yet the Bible says,
00:13:42.08\00:13:43.99
He was the meekest man on earth.
00:13:44.02\00:13:47.06
It doesn't say the weakest.
00:13:47.09\00:13:49.42
But he was the
meekest man on earth.
00:13:49.46\00:13:52.03
A man... Think of these words.
00:13:52.06\00:13:54.96
Honesty,
truthfulness, integrity,
00:13:55.00\00:13:59.53
courage, God's man.
00:13:59.57\00:14:03.37
So different to many
so-called leaders today.
00:14:07.01\00:14:09.78
We're talking about Moses today
but most great leaders today
00:14:12.78\00:14:17.22
either in the
world or in the church
00:14:17.25\00:14:19.02
will soon be
forgotten but never Moses.
00:14:19.05\00:14:24.29
One great writer
said these words,
00:14:24.33\00:14:26.29
"The greatest want of
the world is the want of men,
00:14:26.33\00:14:32.73
men who will not
be bought or sold,
00:14:32.77\00:14:36.74
men who in their inmost
souls are true and honest,
00:14:36.77\00:14:42.04
men who do not fear to
call sin by its right name,
00:14:42.08\00:14:47.58
men whose
conscience is as true to duty
00:14:47.62\00:14:50.39
as the needle to the pole,
00:14:50.42\00:14:53.46
men who will stand for the right
00:14:53.49\00:14:55.99
though the heavens fall."
00:14:56.02\00:14:59.29
Now Moses was not a wimp.
00:14:59.33\00:15:06.30
Moses was not a coward.
00:15:06.33\00:15:09.70
And dare I say this to you,
00:15:09.74\00:15:12.21
Moses was not a
sniveling politician.
00:15:12.24\00:15:18.11
Who simply lies to get the vote,
00:15:18.15\00:15:21.22
and who lies every
day to build up his base.
00:15:21.25\00:15:24.49
Moses was God's
man doing God's work.
00:15:29.32\00:15:33.86
One of the greatest
events after the Exodus
00:15:40.34\00:15:44.14
in the history of the human race
00:15:44.17\00:15:47.38
was when God gave to
Moses the Ten Commandments.
00:15:47.41\00:15:51.38
Moses went up on the mountain.
00:15:51.41\00:15:56.02
The Bible says he
spoke to God face to face.
00:15:56.05\00:16:02.46
He was called the friend of God.
00:16:02.49\00:16:05.23
He spoke to God as a
man talks to his friend.
00:16:05.26\00:16:08.00
And then God delivered to Israel
00:16:11.90\00:16:15.74
and to the people of the
world the Ten Commandments.
00:16:15.77\00:16:21.71
The basis of every great nation,
00:16:21.74\00:16:24.08
I'm going to say
some strong things.
00:16:24.11\00:16:26.65
The foundation of every
church, synagogue, and mosque,
00:16:26.68\00:16:30.09
the Ten Commandments.
00:16:30.12\00:16:32.05
The guiding faith of the
pillar of society, the home.
00:16:32.09\00:16:37.56
The Ten Commandments.
00:16:37.59\00:16:40.86
When you read
the story of Moses,
00:16:40.90\00:16:42.46
you discover the
story of the gospel
00:16:42.50\00:16:44.73
that we are saved by
the blood of the Lamb,
00:16:44.77\00:16:47.47
we are not saved
by our own works,
00:16:47.50\00:16:49.57
we are saved because
the Lamb died for us.
00:16:49.60\00:16:52.74
That's why John
the Baptist said,
00:16:52.77\00:16:54.24
"Behold the Lamb of
God," speaking of Jesus.
00:16:54.28\00:16:58.51
And so Moses gave us the gospel,
00:16:58.55\00:17:00.42
and he also gave us
00:17:00.45\00:17:01.92
the Ten
Commandments, notice them.
00:17:01.95\00:17:04.82
"You shall have no other
gods, but the Lord, but Yahweh,
00:17:04.85\00:17:10.03
Elohim, the
Creator, the Lord God.
00:17:10.06\00:17:15.36
Moses the great monotheist.
00:17:15.40\00:17:19.97
Monotheism is the basis
of everything that is good
00:17:20.00\00:17:24.71
and decent in the
world, monotheism.
00:17:24.74\00:17:28.14
It paved the way for
all scientific research.
00:17:28.18\00:17:32.68
"You shall have no
other gods before Me.
00:17:32.71\00:17:36.18
You shall not make or
worship a carved image."
00:17:36.22\00:17:39.15
The Bible says, "No
images in my church,"
00:17:39.19\00:17:43.29
where people
fall down and worship.
00:17:43.32\00:17:46.49
"You shall not misuse the
name of the Lord, your God."
00:17:46.53\00:17:50.53
And yet we hear
people blaspheming
00:17:50.57\00:17:52.97
on television all the time
00:17:53.00\00:17:55.20
and in the
streets the name of God.
00:17:55.24\00:17:59.34
Their day is coming.
00:17:59.37\00:18:01.08
"Remember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy.
00:18:01.11\00:18:04.35
You shall do no
work on my Sabbath.
00:18:04.38\00:18:07.78
Honor your
father and your mother.
00:18:07.82\00:18:10.62
You shall not murder.
00:18:10.65\00:18:13.59
You shall not commit adultery.
00:18:13.62\00:18:17.36
You shall not steal.
00:18:17.39\00:18:19.66
You shall not
bear false witness.
00:18:19.69\00:18:22.10
No lying."
00:18:22.13\00:18:25.80
I would suggest
that you go online
00:18:25.83\00:18:28.24
and purchase the book The
Day America Told the Truth.
00:18:28.27\00:18:34.58
It is a book
written by some sociologist
00:18:34.61\00:18:37.68
that is all comprehensive.
00:18:37.71\00:18:43.52
It is interviewed
tens of thousands of people
00:18:43.55\00:18:47.52
and the authors tell us
that 92% of us are liars.
00:18:47.56\00:18:54.16
It says we lie about everything.
00:18:54.20\00:18:58.23
And yet the Bible
makes it very plain
00:18:58.27\00:19:00.34
that all liars shall have
their part in the lake of fire.
00:19:00.37\00:19:07.34
"You shall not
bear false witness.
00:19:07.38\00:19:09.44
You shall not covet."
00:19:09.48\00:19:13.72
When I was a boy
growing up in Australia,
00:19:13.75\00:19:16.99
I went to a state
school, no church school,
00:19:17.02\00:19:20.46
I went to a state school
00:19:20.49\00:19:22.46
and we started
the day with prayer,
00:19:22.49\00:19:25.29
and we were taught
the Ten Commandments.
00:19:25.33\00:19:27.60
What has happened to America,
and Australia, and Britain
00:19:31.23\00:19:36.20
since we kicked God
out of the classroom?
00:19:36.24\00:19:40.44
I will tell you, today you can
teach evolution in the schools
00:19:40.48\00:19:45.71
but not intelligent design.
00:19:45.75\00:19:48.32
You can teach Nietzsche
who paved the way for Hitler,
00:19:48.35\00:19:52.82
but you cannot teach
the teachings of Christ.
00:19:52.85\00:19:57.99
And we wonder why
America is a place of insecurity
00:19:58.03\00:20:04.80
where even when you
send your kids to school,
00:20:04.83\00:20:07.80
you don't know whether
they're going to come back,
00:20:07.84\00:20:10.07
and people say, "What
on earth is going wrong?"
00:20:10.11\00:20:12.97
It is because
we've got rid of God
00:20:13.01\00:20:14.81
and the Ten Commandments.
00:20:14.84\00:20:16.54
That's right.
00:20:16.58\00:20:19.55
You know, I get
tired, I turn on CNN
00:20:19.58\00:20:21.45
and other stations,
and they have every person
00:20:21.48\00:20:23.72
on saying what the problem is.
00:20:23.75\00:20:25.49
The problem is
we've got rid of God,
00:20:25.52\00:20:27.99
and we've got rid of Christ,
00:20:28.02\00:20:29.59
and we've got rid of
the commandments of God.
00:20:29.62\00:20:31.79
That's what it is.
00:20:31.83\00:20:33.60
Karl Barth
quoted, "When the holy day
00:20:33.63\00:20:36.90
becomes the day of man",
00:20:36.93\00:20:38.27
he was talking
about the Sabbath,
00:20:38.30\00:20:39.70
he said, "society
and humanity wither away
00:20:39.73\00:20:44.07
and the demons rule."
00:20:44.11\00:20:45.61
You get rid of God,
00:20:45.64\00:20:48.88
and you get rid
of everything decent,
00:20:48.91\00:20:51.21
why so much drunkenness?
00:20:51.25\00:20:54.75
Why the opioid crisis?
00:20:54.78\00:20:57.05
Why the heroin crisis?
00:20:57.09\00:21:00.76
You don't have to be
too smart, just honest.
00:21:00.79\00:21:05.53
We got rid of God.
00:21:05.56\00:21:08.53
The happiest people in the world
00:21:08.56\00:21:09.96
are those who keep
the commandments of God.
00:21:10.00\00:21:13.54
When Israel kept
God's commandments,
00:21:13.57\00:21:15.60
they were a blessed
people, so was America.
00:21:15.64\00:21:19.87
But there are forces
working today in America
00:21:19.91\00:21:22.71
to crucify Christ
on the cross again.
00:21:22.74\00:21:27.35
Look at Deuteronomy 28:1-3.
00:21:27.38\00:21:30.52
Deuteronomy 28:1-3,
"Now it shall come to pass,
00:21:30.55\00:21:34.29
if you diligently obey the
voice of the Lord your God,
00:21:34.32\00:21:40.80
to observe carefully
all His commandments,
00:21:40.83\00:21:43.16
which I command you
today, that the Lord your God
00:21:43.20\00:21:46.90
will set you high above
all the nations of the earth.
00:21:46.94\00:21:50.91
And all these
blessings shall come upon you
00:21:50.94\00:21:53.44
and overtake you,
00:21:53.48\00:21:54.81
because you obey the
voice of the Lord your God.
00:21:54.84\00:21:59.25
Blessed shall you be in the city
00:21:59.28\00:22:01.38
and blessed shall
you be in the country."
00:22:01.42\00:22:04.05
The Bible says,
"You put God first,
00:22:04.09\00:22:06.76
and God will make you the
greatest nation in the world."
00:22:06.79\00:22:11.73
What has happened to America?
00:22:11.76\00:22:15.23
Moses led the
Israelites for 40 years
00:22:21.80\00:22:25.41
during which time the people
often complained and rebelled.
00:22:25.44\00:22:29.34
They got thirsty, God said,
"Go, Moses, speak to the rock."
00:22:29.38\00:22:34.22
Moses is old, he's
tired, he's frustrated.
00:22:34.25\00:22:39.12
The people are
giving him a hard time.
00:22:39.15\00:22:41.76
He goes to the rock,
and he smites it twice,
00:22:41.79\00:22:45.53
"Must we fetch you
water out of this rock."
00:22:45.56\00:22:52.10
And God says,
"I love you, Moses,
00:22:52.13\00:22:55.60
but I can't take you
into the Promised Land,
00:22:55.64\00:22:58.27
you dishonored me."
00:22:58.31\00:23:00.81
Moses almost argued with
God, he said, "But God, God..."
00:23:00.84\00:23:03.61
And God said, "Moses, no more."
00:23:03.65\00:23:06.88
And so God thought
if he kept talking,
00:23:06.92\00:23:08.68
he'd talk him into it.
00:23:08.72\00:23:11.72
And then Moses
climbed Mount Nebo, God said,
00:23:11.75\00:23:14.19
"The time has come."
00:23:14.22\00:23:16.96
God showed him
the Promised Land.
00:23:16.99\00:23:18.69
"He was a 120 years
old, his eyes were not dim,
00:23:18.73\00:23:22.53
nor his natural
vigor diminished."
00:23:22.56\00:23:26.10
God showed him the
great land, the Promised Land.
00:23:26.13\00:23:30.34
And then he showed
him the kingdom of God
00:23:30.37\00:23:34.24
that one day would
come when Jesus came.
00:23:34.28\00:23:38.11
And then Moses got very tired,
00:23:38.15\00:23:43.42
and he lay down.
00:23:43.45\00:23:46.29
And the text says,
"He buried him there."
00:23:46.32\00:23:50.59
That was God, God buried him.
00:23:50.63\00:23:54.30
So Moses didn't get
into the land of Canaan.
00:23:54.33\00:23:58.60
He died within sight.
00:23:58.63\00:24:02.27
But later on, Scripture
says, "Jesus came down,
00:24:02.30\00:24:09.24
and Jesus resurrected him.
00:24:09.28\00:24:12.31
And Jesus took
him home to glory."
00:24:12.35\00:24:17.45
Moses is in heaven. Praise God.
00:24:17.49\00:24:22.62
He's home.
00:24:22.66\00:24:24.53
Listen to me, I've
had the great privilege
00:24:24.56\00:24:28.60
of going into
the Royal Mummy Room
00:24:28.63\00:24:31.03
with Dr. Hawass,
00:24:31.07\00:24:32.50
the Supreme Director of
Antiquities for all of Egypt.
00:24:32.53\00:24:37.24
I've seen the
greatest of the Pharaohs,
00:24:37.27\00:24:40.51
I've seen Tuthmosis III,
I've seen Rameses the Great,
00:24:40.54\00:24:45.51
I've even seen the
mummy of Hatshepsut.
00:24:45.55\00:24:49.92
I've seen the greatest
people that this whole world
00:24:49.95\00:24:53.99
has ever seen in ancient
times, the mighty pharaohs,
00:24:54.02\00:25:00.73
the people who built
those tremendous buildings.
00:25:00.76\00:25:06.10
I've looked at them all.
00:25:06.13\00:25:07.47
I've had a little
chat with them all.
00:25:07.50\00:25:08.84
This is Rameses the Great.
00:25:08.87\00:25:11.11
But there's one
person I didn't find there.
00:25:11.14\00:25:15.24
Moses, he could have been there.
00:25:15.28\00:25:20.08
He could have been there.
00:25:20.12\00:25:22.35
But Moses made the right choice.
00:25:22.38\00:25:25.85
The Bible says in
the Book of Hebrews,
00:25:25.89\00:25:28.06
"Moses decided in his
soul that he would choose
00:25:28.09\00:25:33.70
Christ over the
treasures of Egypt.
00:25:33.73\00:25:37.33
He could have been the Pharaoh.
00:25:37.37\00:25:40.67
He could have had
the golden death mask
00:25:40.70\00:25:46.34
and being a mummy.
00:25:46.37\00:25:48.78
But Moses today...
00:25:48.81\00:25:51.25
Moses is home in glory.
00:25:54.28\00:25:58.62
If you follow
the example of Moses
00:25:58.65\00:26:03.39
and choose
Christ over this world,
00:26:03.43\00:26:08.40
one day you will be with Christ
00:26:08.43\00:26:13.34
and Moses in glory.
00:26:13.37\00:26:17.87
Amen.
00:26:17.91\00:26:19.94
Jesus said, "All
authority has been given to Me
00:26:26.75\00:26:29.92
in heaven and on earth.
00:26:29.95\00:26:32.35
Go therefore and make
disciples of all the nations,
00:26:32.39\00:26:36.66
baptizing them in
the name of the Father,
00:26:36.69\00:26:39.23
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit.
00:26:39.26\00:26:44.47
