Now in Kiev, the
capital of Ukraine.
00:00:07.27\00:00:10.61
I'm John Carter in Petra.
00:00:10.64\00:00:13.54
Right here in Communist China.
00:00:13.58\00:00:16.41
Reporting from India.
00:00:16.44\00:00:18.51
Hi, I'm John Carter

00:00:18.55\00:00:21.58
I'm John Carter in Soweto.
00:00:21.62\00:00:24.02

00:00:24.05\00:00:26.35
I'm John Carter
in Sydney, Australia.
00:00:26.39\00:00:29.66
Genesis, All You Need To Know.
00:00:29.69\00:00:32.43
Now here is John
Carter with today's message.
00:00:32.46\00:00:35.80
Hello, friend, I'm John Carter.
00:00:39.20\00:00:41.97
Welcome back.
00:00:42.00\00:00:43.34
We've got a terrific
program for you today.
00:00:43.37\00:00:46.27
Genesis, All You Need to Know.
00:00:46.31\00:00:50.01
We've been going
through some of the great truths
00:00:50.05\00:00:52.05
that we find in
the Book of Genesis.
00:00:52.08\00:00:55.15
And now we're going to talk
about the third great truth.
00:00:55.18\00:00:58.45
I'm going to take my Bible
and turn over here to Genesis.
00:00:58.49\00:01:02.86
Let me see now.
00:01:02.89\00:01:04.43
Genesis 2:1 down
to 3, are you ready?
00:01:04.46\00:01:09.20
Listen to this.
00:01:09.23\00:01:11.20
"Thus the heavens and the earth,
00:01:11.23\00:01:12.93
and all the host of
them, were finished."
00:01:12.97\00:01:14.80
So this tells us you
came from the hand of God.
00:01:14.84\00:01:18.04
You're not simply the
product of blind chance,
00:01:18.07\00:01:20.38
but you came
from the hand of God.
00:01:20.41\00:01:22.84
"And on the seventh day,
00:01:22.88\00:01:24.21
God ended His
work which He had done.
00:01:24.25\00:01:26.68
And He rested on the seventh day
00:01:26.72\00:01:29.05
from all His work
which He had done.
00:01:29.08\00:01:31.92
Then God blessed the seventh day
00:01:31.95\00:01:33.66
and sanctified it,
00:01:33.69\00:01:35.86
because in it He
rested from all His work
00:01:35.89\00:01:39.89
which God had created and made."
00:01:39.93\00:01:42.76
So the Bible tells me that
00:01:42.80\00:01:44.13
right at the very
beginning of time,
00:01:44.17\00:01:46.33
God gave to the
human race, a special gift.
00:01:46.37\00:01:50.74
In our first segment,
we spoke about marriage,
00:01:50.77\00:01:53.61
tremendously important gift.
00:01:53.64\00:01:55.64
We spoke about the gift of life.
00:01:55.68\00:01:58.25
But now God gives
to the human race,
00:01:58.28\00:02:00.28
this tremendous gift.
00:02:00.32\00:02:02.42
He gives to the human
race, the gift of the Sabbath.
00:02:02.45\00:02:07.76
Now the Sabbath is a
very, very special thing,
00:02:07.79\00:02:10.09
because the Sabbath signifies
the rest that comes from God.
00:02:10.13\00:02:14.80
It is a symbol of
the Gospel of Christ.
00:02:14.83\00:02:19.93
Now I've been living here
00:02:19.97\00:02:21.30
in this great
United States of America
00:02:21.34\00:02:23.37
for over 35 years.
00:02:23.41\00:02:27.11
I really love this place.
00:02:27.14\00:02:29.24
And once upon a time,
00:02:29.28\00:02:30.61
just about
everybody went to church.
00:02:30.65\00:02:32.41
At least, everybody knew
somebody who went to church.
00:02:32.45\00:02:36.25
And once upon a time in America,
00:02:36.28\00:02:38.62
the bells would
ring out on the weekend.
00:02:38.65\00:02:41.92
It seemed as though the bells
were ringing out and saying,
00:02:41.96\00:02:45.16
"Come to church.
00:02:45.19\00:02:47.20
Hey, you've had a tough week,
you've been on those freeways,
00:02:47.23\00:02:50.17
come to church,
come and worship.
00:02:50.20\00:02:52.93
You've been tied
up on Wall Street,
00:02:52.97\00:02:54.67
your mind is just cluttered.
00:02:54.70\00:02:56.14
Well, get rid of the
clutter, come and worship,
00:02:56.17\00:02:58.44
come and be blessed.
00:02:58.47\00:02:59.81
You're beat up.
00:02:59.84\00:03:01.64
Now the time is to be blessed.
00:03:01.68\00:03:03.78
Come and find forgiveness
because we're all sinners.
00:03:03.81\00:03:06.92
Come and be saved.
00:03:06.95\00:03:08.62
Come and be healed.
00:03:08.65\00:03:09.98
Come and find the grace of God."
00:03:10.02\00:03:14.62
That, of course,
00:03:14.66\00:03:15.99
is what the
Sabbath is all about.
00:03:16.02\00:03:18.06
The Sabbath is
about, now listen to this,
00:03:18.09\00:03:21.06
the Sabbath is about divine rest
00:03:21.10\00:03:25.30
for human restlessness.
00:03:25.33\00:03:27.64
Have you heard of Karl Barth?
00:03:27.67\00:03:30.67
Well, Karl Barth was perhaps
00:03:30.71\00:03:32.27
the most influential
theologian of the 20th century.
00:03:32.31\00:03:37.28
He was the great
European philosopher,
00:03:37.31\00:03:42.58
theologian, neo-orthodox.
00:03:42.62\00:03:45.42
He said this
statement and this man
00:03:45.45\00:03:47.59
had a profound
impression upon the world
00:03:47.62\00:03:50.76
in which he lived.
00:03:50.79\00:03:52.13
He said, "When the
holy day, the Sabbath,
00:03:52.16\00:03:55.76
becomes the day of man,
00:03:55.80\00:03:57.83
society and humanity wither away
00:03:57.87\00:04:01.20
and the demons rule."
00:04:01.24\00:04:06.01
Karl Barth said, "If
you give up the Sabbath,
00:04:06.04\00:04:08.88
you're just going
to give up everything.
00:04:08.91\00:04:11.15
You're going to
get away from yourself.
00:04:11.18\00:04:13.48
You're going to
get away from God,
00:04:13.52\00:04:15.38
and the demons are
going to start to rule."
00:04:15.42\00:04:20.62
The Bible says,
00:04:20.66\00:04:21.99
"Remember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy."
00:04:22.02\00:04:26.19
Now people are
saying all the time,
00:04:26.23\00:04:27.90
what's happened to America?
00:04:27.93\00:04:29.93
We've got so many
problems today in America.
00:04:29.96\00:04:33.57
Could it be that our
problems have come about
00:04:33.60\00:04:35.77
because we've
forgotten the commandment?
00:04:35.80\00:04:38.84
And this, of course,
is the fourth commandment.
00:04:38.87\00:04:40.78
This is found in the Decalogue
where Almighty God said,
00:04:40.81\00:04:44.68
"Remember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy."
00:04:44.71\00:04:51.35
Now, this is not a
statement from some church.
00:04:51.39\00:04:53.72
It's not a sectarian statement.
00:04:53.76\00:04:55.72
It is a statement
from Almighty God.
00:04:55.76\00:05:00.23
Remember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy.
00:05:00.26\00:05:03.26
Our topic today is
the Book of Genesis
00:05:03.30\00:05:07.00
and all you need to know.
00:05:07.04\00:05:09.57
Here's the next great truth.
00:05:09.60\00:05:10.94
Number four, actually.
00:05:10.97\00:05:14.01
Genesis alone explains
00:05:14.04\00:05:18.38
the human dilemma.
00:05:18.41\00:05:20.82
Now, what am I talking about?
00:05:20.85\00:05:23.65
Listen, my friend,
why is there so much hate?
00:05:23.69\00:05:27.59
Why is there so much lust?
00:05:27.62\00:05:30.19
Why is there so
much anger in the world?
00:05:30.23\00:05:33.76
Why is there so much fear?
00:05:33.80\00:05:36.63
Why do we have a pandemic
of racism around the world?
00:05:36.67\00:05:40.87
Why so much crime?
00:05:40.90\00:05:42.30
Why is it that we
have all of these riots
00:05:42.34\00:05:45.41
in our great cities?
00:05:45.44\00:05:46.78
Why violence, why war,
00:05:46.81\00:05:50.41
why inequalities,
why in a restlessness?
00:05:50.45\00:05:55.98
No other book explains
this, like the Book of Genesis.
00:05:56.02\00:06:00.39
It explains the human dilemma.
00:06:00.42\00:06:04.03
And I want you
to notice this text
00:06:04.06\00:06:05.59
out of the Book of Genesis 3:1
00:06:05.63\00:06:09.90
down to 3.
00:06:09.93\00:06:12.43
This takes us back
to the very beginning.
00:06:12.47\00:06:14.40
If you want to understand
00:06:14.44\00:06:15.77
what's going on
in the world today,
00:06:15.80\00:06:17.41
you need to
understand the story.
00:06:17.44\00:06:19.57
"Now the
serpent was more cunning
00:06:19.61\00:06:22.14
than any beast of the field
which the Lord God had made."
00:06:22.18\00:06:26.41
And the serpent is Satan.
00:06:26.45\00:06:28.45
"And he said to the
woman, 'Has God indeed said,
00:06:28.48\00:06:31.45
'You shall not eat of
every tree of the garden'?"
00:06:31.49\00:06:35.32
And the woman
said to the serpent,
00:06:35.36\00:06:37.09
'We may eat the fruit
of the trees of the garden,
00:06:37.13\00:06:39.76
but of the fruit of the tree
00:06:39.79\00:06:41.26
which is in the
midst of the garden,
00:06:41.30\00:06:43.97
God has said,
'You shall not eat it,
00:06:44.00\00:06:46.77
nor shall you
touch it, lest you die.'"
00:06:46.80\00:06:50.61
Now this tells us what
happened to the human race.
00:06:53.71\00:06:56.91
God said, "Don't do this."
00:06:56.95\00:06:58.85
But the serpent
said, "No, you can do this.
00:06:58.88\00:07:02.02
And it's going to be fine.
00:07:02.05\00:07:03.82
Don't take any
notice of God and His Word."
00:07:03.85\00:07:06.55
Then Genesis
3:4-7, "Then the serpent,"
00:07:06.59\00:07:12.56
now this Satan
disguised as the serpent.
00:07:12.59\00:07:16.30
"The serpent said to the
woman, 'You will not surely die.
00:07:16.33\00:07:20.10
For God knows that
in the day you eat of it
00:07:20.14\00:07:22.87
your eyes will be opened,
and you will be like God,
00:07:22.90\00:07:27.64
knowing good and evil.'
00:07:27.68\00:07:29.68
So when the woman saw that
the tree was good for food,
00:07:29.71\00:07:33.21
that it was
pleasant to the eyes,
00:07:33.25\00:07:35.15
and a tree
desirable to make one wise,
00:07:35.18\00:07:39.35
she took of its fruit and ate.
00:07:39.39\00:07:43.16
She also gave to her
husband with her, and he ate.
00:07:43.19\00:07:47.60
Then the eyes of
both of them were opened,
00:07:47.63\00:07:51.50
and they knew
that they were naked,
00:07:51.53\00:07:55.00
and they sewed
fig leaves together
00:07:55.04\00:07:58.31
and made themselves coverings.'"
00:07:58.34\00:08:02.04
So now here is
rebellion against God.
00:08:02.08\00:08:04.98
God says, "Don't do this."
00:08:05.01\00:08:06.35
But they say,
"We're smarter than God."
00:08:06.38\00:08:09.55
And the devil
says, "If you do this,
00:08:09.58\00:08:11.35
you're going to be so smart.
00:08:11.39\00:08:12.99
You're going to be so wise,
you're going to be so wealthy.
00:08:13.02\00:08:17.23
You're going to
be so sophisticated.
00:08:17.26\00:08:20.63
And you're going
to live forever."
00:08:20.66\00:08:22.00
That's what the devil
says, and they disobeyed God.
00:08:22.03\00:08:26.20
And when they disobeyed God,
00:08:26.23\00:08:28.14
something awful
insidious happened to them,
00:08:28.17\00:08:32.17
something insidious
happened to their souls,
00:08:32.21\00:08:35.84
their souls shriveled up,
00:08:35.88\00:08:39.65
and they became
naked and afraid.
00:08:39.68\00:08:45.12
Look at Genesis 3:8-10,
00:08:45.15\00:08:51.03
"And they heard the
sound of the Lord God,
00:08:51.06\00:08:52.99
Yahweh Elohim,
walking in the garden
00:08:53.03\00:08:55.50
in the cool of the day,
00:08:55.53\00:08:57.00
and Adam and his
wife hid themselves
00:08:57.03\00:08:59.47
from the
presence of the Lord God
00:08:59.50\00:09:01.87
among the trees of the garden.
00:09:01.90\00:09:04.44
Then the Lord God
called to Adam and said to him,
00:09:04.47\00:09:07.58
'Where are you?'
00:09:07.61\00:09:08.94
So he said,
00:09:08.98\00:09:10.31
'I heard Your
voice in the garden,
00:09:10.35\00:09:12.45
and I was afraid
because I was naked,
00:09:12.48\00:09:18.05
and I hid myself.'"
00:09:18.09\00:09:19.75
And man has been naked,
00:09:19.79\00:09:22.19
and running,
00:09:22.22\00:09:23.66
and afraid ever since.
00:09:23.69\00:09:28.93
So these very ancient verses
00:09:28.96\00:09:32.33
that describe the encounter
00:09:32.37\00:09:35.27
of our first parents
with this sinister force,
00:09:35.30\00:09:41.24
who was called Satan or Satan,
00:09:41.28\00:09:46.01
who was liken to
this poisonous snake.
00:09:46.05\00:09:51.75
This describes how it started
00:09:51.79\00:09:54.52
the origin of sin.
00:09:54.56\00:09:58.49
Listen
carefully, because of sin,
00:09:58.53\00:10:01.36
Adam and Eve found
themselves frightened,
00:10:01.40\00:10:05.17
naked, hiding.
00:10:05.20\00:10:07.30
It is the story
of lost humanity.
00:10:07.34\00:10:11.57
Are you listening to me?
00:10:11.61\00:10:13.61
We say, "What's gone
wrong with the human race?"
00:10:13.64\00:10:16.24
My friend, the Book
of Genesis tells you
00:10:16.28\00:10:19.08
everything that
you need to know.
00:10:19.11\00:10:22.18
It is the story of
man's rebellion against God.
00:10:22.22\00:10:27.16
That is why we
feel naked and afraid,
00:10:27.19\00:10:31.16
and why we are still running.
00:10:31.19\00:10:34.06
Now, I'm going to turn over here
00:10:34.10\00:10:35.90
in the Bible to Romans 5:12.
00:10:35.93\00:10:40.97
Romans 5:12.
00:10:41.00\00:10:45.61
Romans 5:12.
00:10:45.64\00:10:51.11
And these words are written
by the great Jewish scholar
00:10:51.15\00:10:53.31
by the name of Paul.
00:10:53.35\00:10:55.65
He says, "Therefore,
just as through one man
00:10:55.68\00:10:59.05
sin entered the
world, and death through sin,
00:10:59.09\00:11:04.23
and thus death
spread to all men,
00:11:04.26\00:11:06.56
because all sinned."
00:11:06.59\00:11:12.23
When our first parents sinned,
00:11:12.27\00:11:15.54
something insidious happened
00:11:15.57\00:11:19.17
to their humanity.
00:11:19.21\00:11:22.64
Death came into the human race.
00:11:22.68\00:11:26.82
God said, "You
are going to die."
00:11:26.85\00:11:31.12
And we've been dying ever since.
00:11:31.15\00:11:32.79
We died
spiritually and we also die,
00:11:32.82\00:11:36.89
listen to me, we die physically.
00:11:36.93\00:11:42.86
Everything you need to know
00:11:42.90\00:11:46.40
we are born sinners.
00:11:46.43\00:11:49.34
We are born lost.
00:11:49.37\00:11:52.14
Billy Graham was talking
to a great American politician
00:11:52.17\00:11:56.28
who explained his grand plan
00:11:56.31\00:12:00.38
to save America.
00:12:00.42\00:12:03.82
What a tremendous
picture this is here.
00:12:03.85\00:12:07.06
You got the great evangelist
and there in the audience
00:12:07.09\00:12:11.26
you see the great president
00:12:11.29\00:12:14.90
John Kennedy.
00:12:14.93\00:12:17.80
Billy Graham had a
profound influence.
00:12:17.83\00:12:19.77
So he was talking
to this politician
00:12:19.80\00:12:22.44
with this marvelous
plan to save America
00:12:22.47\00:12:26.21
through the Great Society.
00:12:26.24\00:12:29.51
Billy Graham said to him,
00:12:29.54\00:12:32.35
"But sir, what
about human nature?"
00:12:32.38\00:12:37.99
And the politician said,
"Yes, Dr. Graham, I know.
00:12:38.02\00:12:43.02
That is the weak
link in the chain.
00:12:43.06\00:12:45.46
That is the problem."
00:12:45.49\00:12:47.30
I want you to know, my friend.
00:12:47.33\00:12:49.53
The human race is
somehow fatally flawed,
00:12:49.56\00:12:53.74
it is because of our sin.
00:12:53.77\00:12:57.94
And if you want
to understand it,
00:12:57.97\00:12:59.81
you've got to go back
to the Book of Genesis
00:12:59.84\00:13:01.91
to the story of this encounter
00:13:01.94\00:13:04.28
between the serpent
and our first parents.
00:13:04.31\00:13:10.25
President, L.B.J,
00:13:10.29\00:13:13.86
President
Johnson 1964-65 started
00:13:13.89\00:13:17.99
what he called euphemistically,
The Great Society,
00:13:18.03\00:13:23.16
great program to
eliminate poverty,
00:13:23.20\00:13:25.63
racial injustice,
and to reduce crime.
00:13:25.67\00:13:29.64
It has cost America,
think of this, $22,000 billion,
00:13:29.67\00:13:35.21
astronomical $22 trillion
enough to give every American
00:13:35.24\00:13:39.81
a gift of $100,000,
every American family $400,000.
00:13:39.85\00:13:45.45
But I asked the question,
it's an embarrassing question.
00:13:45.49\00:13:49.22
Has the noble plan worked?
00:13:49.26\00:13:52.66
Well, right now some
people are saying that
00:13:52.69\00:13:54.53
America is on the edge,
00:13:54.56\00:13:56.46
on the edge of a revolution
00:13:56.50\00:13:59.23
that could be a
bloody revolution.
00:13:59.27\00:14:02.67
Has society been transformed
00:14:02.70\00:14:05.74
by LBJ's Great Society?
00:14:05.77\00:14:09.88
I ask you the
question, what's wrong with us?
00:14:09.91\00:14:12.81
Why don't we get smart?
00:14:12.85\00:14:15.08
Why don't we go to the
book that has the answers,
00:14:15.12\00:14:17.42
not to the politicians
who were floundering like you
00:14:17.45\00:14:20.29
and like I am without God.
00:14:20.32\00:14:25.39
Look at the evening news.
00:14:25.43\00:14:26.83
What do you see
on the evening news?
00:14:26.86\00:14:30.23
We see riots, buildings,
00:14:30.27\00:14:32.77
burning, people being shot,
00:14:32.80\00:14:36.81
people shooting other people.
00:14:36.84\00:14:39.81
We see poverty, racial unrest.
00:14:39.84\00:14:43.38
We see the rich getting richer
00:14:43.41\00:14:45.51
and the poor getting poorer.
00:14:45.55\00:14:49.72
So I'm saying to you
today, we need a new power,
00:14:49.75\00:14:51.99
not a new government program.
00:14:52.02\00:14:53.62
Government programs
have largely failed.
00:14:53.66\00:14:55.49
I'm sick of them.
00:14:55.52\00:14:57.03
We need a new driving force,
a new energy, a new motivation.
00:14:57.06\00:15:01.93
Human nature frustrates the call
00:15:01.96\00:15:04.07
for the Great Society.
00:15:04.10\00:15:05.43
We need a new power, we
need a new rocket within us.
00:15:05.47\00:15:10.41
Let me tell you the
story of two nations,
00:15:10.44\00:15:13.17
Britain and France.
00:15:13.21\00:15:16.48
You go back to the
days of John Wesley
00:15:16.51\00:15:18.75
back to the 18th century.
00:15:18.78\00:15:21.95
They were both great
countries with great problems.
00:15:21.98\00:15:26.76
Poverty,
inequality, crime, disease,
00:15:26.79\00:15:29.52
the smell of
revolution was in the air.
00:15:29.56\00:15:33.80
England had John
Wesley, and John Wesley went out
00:15:33.83\00:15:37.20
and preached his heart out.
00:15:37.23\00:15:39.53
And people came to Christ
00:15:39.57\00:15:40.90
by the hundreds
of the thousands.
00:15:40.94\00:15:44.44
England never had
a bloody revolution.
00:15:44.47\00:15:47.28
France did.
00:15:47.31\00:15:48.64
France had the guillotine.
00:15:48.68\00:15:51.25
France had all the murders.
00:15:51.28\00:15:53.28
France had all the atrocities.
00:15:53.31\00:15:55.28
Why?
00:15:55.32\00:15:56.65
Because they never
had the Gospel of Christ.
00:15:56.69\00:15:59.29
That is why they had the church.
00:15:59.32\00:16:01.42
They had corrupt politicians,
they had all that garbage,
00:16:01.46\00:16:05.09
but they never had the
voice of the Word of God.
00:16:05.13\00:16:09.10
Now, I want to tell every person
00:16:09.13\00:16:10.57
watching today,
especially my American friends.
00:16:10.60\00:16:13.50
It's time for us to stop
00:16:13.54\00:16:15.47
putting our faith
in the politicians,
00:16:15.50\00:16:19.24
because you're going to
be terribly disillusioned.
00:16:19.27\00:16:23.18
What America needs, my friend,
00:16:23.21\00:16:25.11
is not a new government program,
00:16:25.15\00:16:27.02
what America needs
is the Gospel of Christ.
00:16:27.05\00:16:32.45
Are you listening to me?
00:16:32.49\00:16:33.82
Do you believe
this? This is the truth.
00:16:33.86\00:16:36.19
The Book of Genesis
tells us all we need to know.
00:16:36.22\00:16:41.36
It also predicts
the only solution
00:16:41.40\00:16:44.53
to the human dilemma.
00:16:44.57\00:16:46.94
Now I'm going to turn
00:16:46.97\00:16:48.30
to a text here, Genesis 3:14-15.
00:16:48.34\00:16:54.01
It tells us the
solution to the human dilemma.
00:16:54.04\00:16:58.18
Genesis 3:14-15,
00:16:58.21\00:17:04.92
"So the Lord God
said to the serpent,
00:17:04.95\00:17:07.46
that's Satan:
'Because you have done this,
00:17:07.49\00:17:09.66
you are cursed
more than all cattle,
00:17:09.69\00:17:11.93
and more than
every beast of the field,
00:17:11.96\00:17:15.70
on your belly
you shall go and all,
00:17:15.73\00:17:17.80
and you shall eat dust
all the days of your life."
00:17:17.83\00:17:20.77
Now listen to it.
00:17:20.80\00:17:22.60
"And I will put enmity
between you and the woman,
00:17:22.64\00:17:26.71
between your seed and her Seed,"
00:17:26.74\00:17:30.68
now listen to it, "He
shall bruise your head,"
00:17:30.71\00:17:37.15
this Seed that's going to come,
00:17:37.19\00:17:39.65
it's going to bruise
the head of the serpent,
00:17:39.69\00:17:43.43
he's got to kill
him, "And you, serpent,
00:17:43.46\00:17:47.76
shall bruise His heel."
00:17:47.80\00:17:50.03
Which is painful, but
it's not a mortal wound.
00:17:50.07\00:17:54.47
This is one of the most
amazing prophecies in the Bible,
00:17:54.50\00:17:58.67
all you need to know.
00:17:58.71\00:18:01.31
He is a glimmer of
hope for poor Adam and Eve
00:18:01.34\00:18:04.18
bowed down in despair.
00:18:04.21\00:18:07.75
A Seed is coming.
00:18:07.78\00:18:10.52
God says, "A Seed is coming."
00:18:10.55\00:18:13.25
The Seed is going to come,
the offspring is going to come,
00:18:13.29\00:18:16.16
it's going to be
the Seed of the woman.
00:18:16.19\00:18:20.13
And that Seed is going
to crush the serpent's head.
00:18:20.16\00:18:26.10
Gonna kill the serpent.
00:18:26.13\00:18:27.94
And that serpent is
going to bruise the Seed.
00:18:27.97\00:18:33.48
But the Seed is
going to survive.
00:18:33.51\00:18:36.64
What are we talking about?
00:18:36.68\00:18:38.15
You come over
here to Galatians 3:16,
00:18:38.18\00:18:43.35
amazing words from
the great Apostle Paul,
00:18:43.39\00:18:46.52
this great Jewish scholar.
00:18:46.55\00:18:49.32
"Now to Abraham and his
Seed were the promises made.
00:18:49.36\00:18:54.36
He does not say,
00:18:54.40\00:18:55.73
'And to seeds,'
plural, as of many,
00:18:55.76\00:18:59.97
but as of," what does it say?
00:19:00.00\00:19:01.47
"'One, and to your
Seed,' who is Christ.'"
00:19:01.50\00:19:07.78
Do you get this?
00:19:07.81\00:19:10.88
The Book of Genesis says,
"The Seed is going to come."
00:19:10.91\00:19:14.88
Not the seeds.
00:19:14.92\00:19:16.42
We're not saved
by a bunch of people.
00:19:16.45\00:19:18.75
We're not saved by
a bunch of preachers,
00:19:18.79\00:19:21.26
or a bunch of politicians,
or a bunch of anybody.
00:19:21.29\00:19:25.29
We are saved by not plural,
00:19:25.33\00:19:28.76
singular, the Seed.
00:19:28.80\00:19:32.37
And that Seed is going to come
00:19:32.40\00:19:34.07
and that Seed is going to crush
00:19:34.10\00:19:37.37
the head of the serpent.
00:19:37.41\00:19:40.71
It's talking, of
course, about the Messiah,
00:19:40.74\00:19:43.48
fully God fully man.
00:19:43.51\00:19:46.68
Jesus partook of human nature.
00:19:46.72\00:19:48.85
He was a real human being.
00:19:48.88\00:19:50.35
He carried the genes of Mary,
00:19:50.39\00:19:55.22
who carried the genes of Adam,
00:19:55.26\00:19:57.73
Abraham,
Joseph, Moses and David,
00:19:57.76\00:20:01.36
our genes also.
00:20:01.40\00:20:05.37
He was the promised Seed.
00:20:05.40\00:20:09.44
Where do you find this?
00:20:09.47\00:20:10.81
You find this in
the Book of Genesis.
00:20:10.84\00:20:12.47
It predicts the
coming of the promised seed.
00:20:12.51\00:20:16.14
Without the seed, my friend,
00:20:16.18\00:20:18.95
there is no salvation.
00:20:18.98\00:20:23.99
Will you believe it?
00:20:24.02\00:20:27.46
He was the Seed of the woman.
00:20:27.49\00:20:28.82
Maybe He looked like David,
was called the son of David,
00:20:28.86\00:20:33.16
even though David
lived 1,000 years before.
00:20:33.19\00:20:36.43
He was the Seed
of His mother, Mary,
00:20:36.46\00:20:40.80
maybe He looked like Mary.
00:20:40.84\00:20:42.54
Why did He come?
00:20:42.57\00:20:44.37
To redeem the sin of Adam?
00:20:44.41\00:20:47.94
He was the second Adam.
00:20:47.98\00:20:50.48
He would receive a cruel wound,
00:20:50.51\00:20:54.25
but He would crush
the serpent's head.
00:20:54.28\00:20:57.62
Hey, that's good news.
00:20:57.65\00:21:01.02
I want to tell you,
there is some good news here.
00:21:01.06\00:21:04.19
You think this old
world is out of shape?
00:21:04.23\00:21:08.13
This old world is in a mess?
00:21:08.16\00:21:11.10
This old world is in a mess,
and there is only one person
00:21:11.13\00:21:16.04
who can save you and me.
00:21:16.07\00:21:18.44
Why are we so tied
up with incidentals?
00:21:18.47\00:21:21.64
It is the Seed,
00:21:21.68\00:21:23.78
it is born of the
Blessed Virgin Mary,
00:21:23.81\00:21:27.72
the Seed who went to the cross
00:21:27.75\00:21:30.99
to pay for our
sins, it is Christ.
00:21:31.02\00:21:36.22
All you need to know, my friend.
00:21:36.26\00:21:40.00
Redemption
prefigured and predicted.
00:21:40.03\00:21:42.46
Genesis 3:21 is
absolutely an incredible text.
00:21:42.50\00:21:47.10
Genesis 3:21.
00:21:47.14\00:21:50.37
Now give you the context.
00:21:50.41\00:21:54.44
Adam and Eve because
they're smarter than God.
00:21:54.48\00:21:58.45
They break God's commandments,
they rebelled against God.
00:21:58.48\00:22:00.98
God says, "If you do
this, you're going to die."
00:22:01.02\00:22:03.25
No, no.
00:22:03.28\00:22:04.72
The devil says, "You
gonna become really smart.
00:22:04.75\00:22:06.79
You gonna become like God.
00:22:06.82\00:22:09.56
You know, you gonna be like God,
00:22:09.59\00:22:11.03
you're going to
know good and evil,
00:22:11.06\00:22:12.96
you're going to be elevated,
you're going to be superior."
00:22:12.99\00:22:16.23
That's the biggest
lie that was ever told.
00:22:16.26\00:22:20.20
But God says,
"There's hope for you.
00:22:20.24\00:22:23.07
The woman is going
to have a divine Seed
00:22:23.10\00:22:27.94
and the Creator
who made the universe.
00:22:27.98\00:22:31.98
Listen to this, the Creator
00:22:32.01\00:22:33.92
who made the
universe becomes a man.
00:22:33.95\00:22:38.12
He's the only perfect
man this world ever saw.
00:22:38.15\00:22:43.63
He goes to the cross,
and He bears our sins.
00:22:43.66\00:22:47.36
And then the
Creator God does something.
00:22:47.40\00:22:49.93
It says Genesis 3:21.
00:22:49.96\00:22:52.50
"Also for Adam and
his wife, the Lord God,"
00:22:52.53\00:22:57.64
Yahweh Elohim,
00:22:57.67\00:22:59.47
"made tunics of
skin, and clothed them."
00:22:59.51\00:23:02.98
Are you, hey, with me on this?
00:23:03.01\00:23:07.25
Almighty God has
to kill some animals.
00:23:07.28\00:23:11.69
Almighty God, listen to me.
00:23:11.72\00:23:16.56
Let me look in your eyes,
Almighty God, Almighty God,
00:23:16.59\00:23:20.33
Yahweh Elohim
killed some animals
00:23:20.36\00:23:25.23
in the Garden of Eden.
00:23:25.27\00:23:27.64
This pristine, beautiful place,
00:23:27.67\00:23:29.90
this place that
is called paradise.
00:23:29.94\00:23:31.97
So He kills some animals,
00:23:32.01\00:23:35.64
and He gets the
skin of those animals.
00:23:35.68\00:23:38.91
And He covers up the nakedness
00:23:38.95\00:23:42.78
of Adam and Eve.
00:23:42.82\00:23:48.09
That's the story of
Christ on the cross.
00:23:48.12\00:23:52.69
The Christ,
Almighty God in human flesh,
00:23:52.73\00:23:58.20
goes to the cross
00:23:58.23\00:24:01.44
to cover us.
00:24:01.47\00:24:05.54
On the cross,
the Seed of the woman
00:24:05.57\00:24:08.01
paid the price of Adam's failure
00:24:08.04\00:24:09.48
with His own blood.
00:24:09.51\00:24:11.31
He is called the second
Adam, it's all you need to know.
00:24:11.35\00:24:16.62
So Genesis tells us
all we really need to know,
00:24:16.65\00:24:20.06
so we can be decent people.
00:24:20.09\00:24:22.46
Number one, God
made the universe,
00:24:22.49\00:24:23.93
He made you.
00:24:23.96\00:24:25.29
You're special.
00:24:25.33\00:24:27.43
Number two, marriage matters.
00:24:27.46\00:24:29.26
It's between a man and a woman.
00:24:29.30\00:24:31.53
Don't be taken in
by all this propaganda.
00:24:31.57\00:24:35.20
Number three,
00:24:35.24\00:24:36.57
the Sabbath is a part
of God's plan for you.
00:24:36.60\00:24:38.74
You need restoration.
00:24:38.77\00:24:40.88
You need the
blessing of the Sabbath
00:24:40.91\00:24:44.15
that represents the gospel.
00:24:44.18\00:24:45.58
Number four.
00:24:45.61\00:24:46.95
Genesis explains
what's wrong with the world.
00:24:46.98\00:24:49.38
It is sin, it is our rebellion.
00:24:49.42\00:24:51.95
It is our turning from God.
00:24:51.99\00:24:55.29
Number five, the
coming of the woman Seed,
00:24:55.32\00:24:59.69
Christ solves every problem.
00:24:59.73\00:25:01.50
So what's the end result?
00:25:06.84\00:25:08.74
The destruction of the serpent,
00:25:08.77\00:25:10.14
the serpent has
his head crushed.
00:25:10.17\00:25:13.98
The triumph of Christ and
those who trust in Christ.
00:25:14.01\00:25:19.28
Revelation 7:9, you
can't do it by yourself.
00:25:19.31\00:25:24.65
You can't do it through
human philosophy or politics,
00:25:24.69\00:25:29.59
or any of those substitutes.
00:25:29.62\00:25:32.09
I am amazed that people
who think they're Christians
00:25:32.13\00:25:35.20
are so caught up in politics,
00:25:35.23\00:25:37.47
they've forgotten
all about God's Word.
00:25:37.50\00:25:40.77
Look at the outcome.
00:25:40.80\00:25:42.14
Revelation 7:9,
"After these things,"
00:25:42.17\00:25:46.37
and today we
started on the first book,
00:25:46.41\00:25:48.78
now we finished
on the last book.
00:25:48.81\00:25:50.38
"After these things I looked
and behold, a great multitude
00:25:50.41\00:25:55.08
which no one could number,"
room for you, "of all nations,"
00:25:55.12\00:26:00.69
hey, all colors.
00:26:00.72\00:26:02.59
Racism is so evil,
00:26:02.62\00:26:05.19
"of all
nations, tribes, peoples,
00:26:05.23\00:26:07.50
and tongues,
standing before the throne,
00:26:07.53\00:26:11.07
and before the Lamb,"
00:26:11.10\00:26:13.00
that's the
Seed, the divine Seed.
00:26:13.03\00:26:17.11
The Lamb had to be
killed so we could be clothed,
00:26:17.14\00:26:21.58
"clothed with white robes,
00:26:21.61\00:26:24.11
with palm
branches in their hands."
00:26:24.15\00:26:28.85
That's the outcome.
00:26:28.88\00:26:31.52
Will you think about
it, my friend, please?
00:26:31.55\00:26:34.49
I beseech you.
00:26:34.52\00:26:37.43
The Lamb has to be slain.
00:26:37.46\00:26:42.56
The Seed comes,
00:26:42.60\00:26:44.67
the Seed dies on the cross
00:26:44.70\00:26:49.50
to save us from the
overwhelming disease,
00:26:49.54\00:26:54.84
the pandemic of evil
00:26:54.88\00:26:57.58
that is
ravaging the world today.
00:26:57.61\00:27:00.78
Maybe your life too.
00:27:00.82\00:27:04.92
So what should we do?
00:27:04.95\00:27:08.16
Well, believe
these great truths.
00:27:08.19\00:27:13.03
God made you, you're special.
00:27:13.06\00:27:16.30
He loves you.
00:27:16.33\00:27:17.67
God made marriage
between a man and a woman.
00:27:17.70\00:27:20.97
It's all wonderful.
00:27:21.00\00:27:23.20
God gave us the
Sabbath, so we can be restored.
00:27:23.24\00:27:28.64
The Bible teaches,
God did more than this.
00:27:28.68\00:27:33.31
He sent Christ, the Seed,
00:27:33.35\00:27:37.85
who died for our sins,
00:27:37.89\00:27:40.56
to take away our sins
which are destroying us.
00:27:40.59\00:27:45.89
Therefore, my friend,
00:27:45.93\00:27:48.60
please start to read your Bible.
00:27:48.63\00:27:50.73
Is that asking too much?
00:27:50.77\00:27:53.20
Read your Bible.
00:27:53.23\00:27:55.30
Trust in Christ.
00:27:55.34\00:27:57.64
Christ died for you.
00:27:57.67\00:27:59.01
He wants you in heaven.
00:27:59.04\00:28:00.54
There's room for you, my
friend, a great multitude.
00:28:00.58\00:28:05.95
You can be there.
00:28:05.98\00:28:10.59
Believe in the God
00:28:10.62\00:28:15.59
who believes in you.
00:28:15.62\00:28:18.46
Amen.
