YOU'RE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE,

EVERY ONE OF US AND WE THANK YOU

00:07:11.96\00:07:18.03

00:07:18.03\00:07:20.30
AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT HOW VAST
SPACE IS AND THEN YOU COME TO
00:07:20.30\00:07:26.56

00:07:40.23\00:07:46.90
IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN. AT
THIS TIME OUR LESSON STUDY IS
00:07:46.90\00:07:53.00
BEING BROUGHT TO US
BY PASTOR MIKE THOMPSON.
00:07:53.00\00:07:55.43
HE IS OUR HEALTH AND VISITATION

DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH.
00:07:58.40\00:08:02.46
>>WELCOME TO CENTRAL STUDY HOUR.
00:08:02.46\00:08:04.50
WE HAVE TO DO OUR LITTLE
COMMERCIAL FIRST - AND IT'S A
00:08:04.50\00:08:06.70

YOU, IN THE CONTINENTAL UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA, THIS LESSON
00:08:21.93\00:08:27.03
THAT WAS WRITTEN BY
PASTOR DOUG, ACTUALLY.
00:08:27.03\00:08:30.43
IT'S FROM A SET OF LESSONS
CALLED 'STORACLES' AND IT'S
00:08:30.43\00:08:33.50
CALLED 'THE SUPREME SACRIFICE'.
SO IF YOU SEND TO AMAZING FACTS
00:08:33.50\00:08:38.83
- FREE OFFER #704 - 7 - 0 - 4 -
AND YOU'LL PROBABLY GET THAT ON
00:08:38.83\00:08:43.96
THE SCREENS AT THE END
OF THE PROGRAM AS WELL.
00:08:43.96\00:08:46.76
SO IT'S LESSON #3 - THERE'S A
MEMORY TEXT FROM ROMANS 12:1 AND
00:08:46.76\00:08:53.50
IT SAYS, "THEREFORE, I URGE YOU,
BRETHREN, BY THE MERCIES OF GOD,
00:08:53.50\00:08:57.03
TO PRESENT YOUR BODIES A LIVING
AND HOLY SACRIFICE, ACCEPTABLE
00:08:57.03\00:09:03.33
TO GOD, WHICH IS YOUR
SPIRITUAL SERVICE OF WORSHIP."
00:09:03.33\00:09:06.76
THAT'S FROM THE NASB - YOU'RE
PROBABLY USED TO THE KING JAMES,
00:09:06.76\00:09:09.46
WHICH I AM, BUT IT EXPLAINS IT
VERY WELL. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT
00:09:09.46\00:09:13.26
THE THEME OF - IT'S SIMPLY
CALLED 'SACRIFICES' AND FROM THE
00:09:13.26\00:09:17.73
INTRODUCTORY PAGE OF THE LESSON
- LESSON 3 - WE READ, 'CENTRAL
00:09:17.73\00:09:22.43
TO THE ENTIRE GOSPEL IS
THE CONCEPT OF SACRIFICE.
00:09:22.43\00:09:27.40
AND NEAR THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE
IT SAYS, 'THIS WEEK WE LOOK AT
00:09:27.40\00:09:31.13
SOME OF THE SACRIFICES THAT
BELIEVERS HAVE OFFERED TO GOD.
00:09:31.13\00:09:35.00
WE WILL DISCOVER THAT GOD
HAS ALWAYS BEEN CALLING FOR
00:09:35.00\00:09:38.36
SACRIFICES AND HE IS
STILL DOING SO TODAY.
00:09:38.36\00:09:44.66
OF COURSE, THE MOST IMPORTANT
- GOD PROVIDED THE ULTIMATE
00:09:44.66\00:09:48.56
SACRIFICE - THAT OF HIMSELF IN
THE PERSON OF JESUS CHRIST, HIS
00:09:48.56\00:09:54.86
OWN SON.' SO I'M
GOING STRAIGHT TO SUNDAY.
00:09:54.86\00:09:58.86
WE'RE DEALING HERE
WITH THE FIRST SACRIFICE.
00:09:58.86\00:10:02.70
NOW, WE KNOW WHEN ADAM AND
EVE SINNED, GOD IMMEDIATELY
00:10:02.70\00:10:05.73
DEMONSTRATED HIS
UNWAVERING HATRED OF SIN.
00:10:05.73\00:10:11.16
WHEN, IN THE EXERCISE OF
HIS UNWAVERING JUSTICE, HE
00:10:11.16\00:10:15.76
PRONOUNCED JUDGMENT UPON
THE FALLEN PAIR AND ULTIMATELY
00:10:15.76\00:10:19.96
EXPELLED THEM
FROM THEIR EDEN HOME.
00:10:19.96\00:10:24.00
GOD TOLD THEM IN NO UNCERTAIN
TERMS THAT THEY WOULD REAP THE
00:10:24.00\00:10:27.23
ULTIMATE CONSEQUENCES OF
DEATH IN RETURN FOR THEIR
00:10:27.23\00:10:31.53
DISOBEDIENCE. SIN
COMES WITH A HEAVY
00:10:31.53\00:10:35.33
PRICE TAG. GENESIS
3, VERSE 3 WHEN EVE WAS
00:10:35.33\00:10:42.33
PARLAYING HERE WITH THE SERPENT
AROUND THE TREE - SHE KNEW.
00:10:42.33\00:10:46.83
THIS IS WHAT SHE SAID TO THE
SERPENT, SHE SAID, "BUT OF THE
00:10:46.83\00:10:50.76
FRUIT OF THE TREE WHICH IS
IN THE MIDST OF THE GARDEN, GOD
00:10:50.76\00:10:54.20
HATH SAID, 'YE SHALL NOT EAT OF
IT, NEITHER SHALL YE TOUCH IT,
00:10:54.20\00:10:58.73
LEST YE DIE.'" WELL,
HE SAID, 'DON'T EAT' -
00:10:58.73\00:11:01.20
BUT NONETHELESS, SHE
HAD IT RIGHT. SO SHE KNEW.
00:11:01.20\00:11:04.70
AND SHE PARLAYED WITH HIM AND
HE SAID, 'YOU KNOW, GOD DOESN'T
00:11:04.70\00:11:07.66
MEAN THAT. YOU WON'T DIE.
00:11:07.66\00:11:09.23
IN FACT, GOD'S
HIDING SOMETHING FROM YOU.
00:11:09.23\00:11:11.10
IF YOU EAT THIS IT
WILL OPEN YOUR EYES.
00:11:11.10\00:11:13.46
YOU'LL BE AS GODS.
YOU'LL BE ABLE TO DISCERN
00:11:13.46\00:11:15.60
BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL AND THAT
SOUNDED KIND OF FASCINATING AND
00:11:15.60\00:11:19.60
SO, IF YOU LIKE, SHE
TOOK THE BAIT. BUT IN VERSE 19
00:11:19.60\00:11:23.86
THERE WERE THE CONSEQUENCES
AND GOD SPELLED THEM OUT.
00:11:23.86\00:11:27.50
GOD TURNED AROUND AND SAID
TO ADAM AND EVE HE SAID, 'IN THE
00:11:27.50\00:11:31.63
SWEAT OF THY FACE SHALT THOU EAT
BREAD, TILL THOU RETURN UNTO THE
00:11:31.63\00:11:37.96
GROUND; FOR OUT OF IT WAST THOU
TAKEN: FOR DUST THOU ART, AND
00:11:37.96\00:11:44.23
UNTO DUST SHALT THOU RETURN."
BELOVED, GOD SAYS WHAT HE MEANS
00:11:44.23\00:11:53.73
AND HE MEANS WHAT HE
SAYS. LET US NEVER FORGET THAT.
00:11:53.73\00:11:59.40
BUT IN SPITE OF LOSING THEIR
EDEN HOME, WHICH THEY DID, FOR
00:11:59.40\00:12:04.76
SOME REASON ADAM AND EVE WERE
NOT IMMEDIATELY KIND OF SNUFFED
00:12:04.76\00:12:08.20
OUT OF EXISTENCE. THEY
CARRIED ON LIVING BEYOND
00:12:08.20\00:12:12.40
THAT FATEFUL DAY. THE
BIBLE TELLS US, ACTUALLY,
00:12:12.40\00:12:14.66
ADAM DIDN'T DIE UNTIL
HE WAS 930 YEARS OLD. WHY?
00:12:14.66\00:12:20.76
WELL, WE KNOW WHY -
OR WE SHOULD KNOW WHY.
00:12:20.76\00:12:23.86
YOU SEE, AT THE SAME TIME AS GOD
EXERCISES UNWAVERING JUSTICE,
00:12:23.86\00:12:29.53
GOD WILL NEVER CHANGE HIS
LAW OR BEND HIS LAW - IT'S THE
00:12:29.53\00:12:33.23
FOUNDATION OF HIS
THRONE - HIS GOVERNMENT.
00:12:33.23\00:12:36.03
HE WILL NOT CHANGE IT ONE IOTA.
IF THE LAW COULD SPEAK - IF WE
00:12:36.03\00:12:41.06
COULD STAND BEFORE THE ARK
OF THE COVENANT THIS MORNING AND
00:12:41.06\00:12:46.60
THE LAW COULD SPEAK, AS IT WERE,
YOU WOULD HEAR THAT LAW SAYING,
00:12:46.60\00:12:51.00
'YOU BREAK ME, YOU MUST DIE.'
CAN'T BEND THE RULES ONE BIT AND
00:12:51.00\00:12:57.00
SHOULD NOT FOR THE STABILITY OF
THE UNIVERSE. BUT STILL, AS GOD
00:12:57.00\00:13:01.50
EXERCISED HIS UNWAVERING
JUSTICE, HE ALSO EXERCISED HIS
00:13:01.50\00:13:07.96
UNWAVERING MERCY AND EXERCISED
IT TOWARD THE GUILTY PAIR.
00:13:07.96\00:13:13.90
FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER IN
THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE,
00:13:13.90\00:13:19.73
SOMETHING HAPPENED
WHICH WAS CALLED A SACRIFICE.
00:13:19.73\00:13:27.06
ANGELS HAD NEVER
HEARD OF SACRIFICES.
00:13:27.06\00:13:30.40
NONE OF THE INTELLIGENCES
OF OTHER WORLDS HAD HEARD OF
00:13:30.40\00:13:33.83
SACRIFICES - OF
BLOOD SACRIFICES.
00:13:33.83\00:13:36.53
AND THE BIBLE CLEARLY
IMPLIES THAT THERE WAS
00:13:36.53\00:13:38.43
A BLOOD SACRIFICE. YOU
KNOW, ADAM AND EVE WERE
00:13:38.43\00:13:42.43
COVERED WITH SKINS.
THOSE SKINS DIDN'T GROW ON
00:13:42.43\00:13:45.26
TREES. THEY ACTUALLY COVERED
BEINGS AND THOSE SKINS HAD TO BE
00:13:45.26\00:13:50.00
CUT OFF AND PLACED
UPON THE GUILTY PAIR.
00:13:50.00\00:13:53.66
BUT NONETHELESS, THERE WAS
SOMETHING CALLED A SACRIFICE
00:13:53.66\00:13:57.40
THAT WAS MADE AND WHAT HAPPENED?
00:13:57.40\00:14:01.10
IT MEANT THAT GOD TOOK AN
INNOCENT CREATURE AND ACCOUNTED
00:14:01.10\00:14:05.56
IT GUILTY IN THE STEAD OF
ADAM AND EVE. AND THIS INNOCENT
00:14:05.56\00:14:12.40
CREATURE ASSUMED THE ROLE OF
THEIR SIN-BEARER - INNOCENT AND
00:14:12.40\00:14:18.23
SINLESS AS IT WAS, IT RECEIVED
THE STROKE OF DEATH IN THEIR
00:14:18.23\00:14:23.46
BEHALF THAT THEY MIGHT LIVE.
AND THROUGH THIS MYSTERIOUS -
00:14:23.46\00:14:28.00
AND IT WAS - IT WAS A MYSTERIOUS
EVENT. THROUGH THIS MYSTERIOUS
00:14:28.00\00:14:33.90
AND WONDROUS EVENT ADAM AND EVE
AND EVERY OTHER INTELLIGENCE IN
00:14:33.90\00:14:39.00
THE UNIVERSE WAS GIVEN A GLIMPSE
OF THE MESSIAH - THE PROMISED
00:14:39.00\00:14:45.53
ONE - THE PURE AND INNOCENT
SON OF GOD WHO WAS TO COME.
00:14:45.53\00:14:51.46
NOT ONLY BECOME THE SIN-BEARER
OF THE GUILTY RACE AND OFFER UP
00:14:51.46\00:14:57.20
HIS LIFE AS AN ATONEMENT FOR THE
HUMAN RACE - AS A SUBSTITUTE AND
00:14:57.20\00:15:02.63
SURETY - BUT ALSO FOR THE SAKE
OF THE WHOLE UNIVERSE IT WAS
00:15:02.63\00:15:07.70
NECESSARY THAT
THERE BE A REDEEMER.
00:15:07.70\00:15:12.16
WE KNOW THAT GOD HAS QUARANTINED
SIN DOWN TO THIS LITTLE WORLD OF
00:15:12.16\00:15:17.36
OURS AND IN WISDOM HE'S
DONE THAT, BUT WHAT HAPPENS HERE
00:15:17.36\00:15:22.10
AFFECTS THE WHOLE
BOUNDLESS UNIVERSE.
00:15:22.10\00:15:26.13
SO ANGELS WERE INTERESTED THEN.
THE SONS OF GOD FROM UNFALLEN
00:15:26.13\00:15:31.30
WORLDS WERE INTENSELY INTERESTED
TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED THEN AND
00:15:31.30\00:15:35.03
THEY'RE JUST AS INTENSELY
INTERESTED NOW BECAUSE BEFORE
00:15:35.03\00:15:40.30
THEIR EYES IT'S PLAYING OUT -
THIS THEME THAT WE, AS SEVENTH
00:15:40.30\00:15:45.16
DAY ADVENTISTS, ARE KNOWN
FOR. BUT I WONDER, DO YOU REALLY
00:15:45.16\00:15:48.53
UNDERSTAND IT? CALLED
THE GREAT CONTROVERSY.
00:15:48.53\00:15:52.70
IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE
GREAT CONTROVERSY THEME, YOU'LL
00:15:52.70\00:15:56.53
NEVER UNDERSTAND THE
THIRD ANGEL'S MESSAGE.
00:15:56.53\00:16:00.20
AND IF YOU - ALRIGHT, I'M GOING
TO JUST SAY IT - IF YOU'RE A
00:16:00.20\00:16:04.26
LIBERAL AND YOU TAKE THIS BOOK
AND YOU ALLEGORIZE IT ALL THE
00:16:04.26\00:16:10.13
WAY, YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND
THE GREAT CONTROVERSY THEME,
00:16:10.13\00:16:14.56
WHAT'S MORE, YOU WILL HAVE NO
NEED OF IT. THEREFORE, THE THIRD
00:16:14.56\00:16:17.40
ANGEL'S MESSAGE WILL ALWAYS BE
IRRELEVANT AND ALWAYS WILL BE.
00:16:17.40\00:16:22.66
AND THE SAVING GRACE THAT IT
POINTS US TO THROUGH CHRIST OUR
00:16:22.66\00:16:26.00
GREAT HIGH PRIEST IN THE
HEAVENLY SANCTUARY WHERE HE WENT
00:16:26.00\00:16:29.20
IN 1844 ADMINISTERS NOW FOR HIS
PEOPLE, IT WILL MEAN NOTHING TO
00:16:29.20\00:16:35.10
YOU, THEREFORE, IT -
WELL, YOU'LL BE DONE, YOU KNOW.
00:16:35.10\00:16:42.70
YOU'LL BE DONE. SO LET
US UNDERSTAND THE GREAT
00:16:42.70\00:16:47.16
CONTROVERSY THEME, BELOVED.
THERE'S TOO MUCH AT STAKE HERE.
00:16:47.16\00:16:52.00
AND SO THIS - THIS IS WHAT WAS
- THE ANGELS HAD SEEN THE GREAT
00:16:52.00\00:16:55.50
CONTROVERSY BEGIN IN HEAVEN
AND IT STILL WASN'T TOO CLEAR.
00:16:55.50\00:16:59.13
THE DEVIL HAD TAKEN A THIRD
OF THEIR FELLOW ANGELS AND THOSE
00:16:59.13\00:17:03.06
WHO REMAINED BEHIND, THEY
STILL WONDERED ABOUT THIS THING.
00:17:03.06\00:17:06.90
BUT GOD, IN SYMBOLISM THERE
IN EDEN SAYS, 'LOOK, THERE'S A
00:17:06.90\00:17:12.23
SIN-BEARER COMING AND YOU JUST
WATCH AND YOU WILL SEE, IN THE
00:17:12.23\00:17:15.73
GREAT CONTROVERSY,
THROUGH THE SACRIFICIAL SYSTEM,
00:17:15.73\00:17:20.23
WHO IS RIGHT AND WHO IS WRONG.
00:17:20.23\00:17:24.00
WHO TRULY IS A GOOD GOD - A GOOD
BEING - AND TRULY THE ONE WHO
00:17:24.00\00:17:29.26
WANTS TO BE THE GOD OF THIS
WORLD AND THIS UNIVERSE IS AN
00:17:29.26\00:17:32.70
IMPOSTER, BUT WE HAVE TO
WAIT UNTIL WE GET TO THE CROSS.
00:17:32.70\00:17:36.83
BUT NONETHELESS, IT WAS
PREFIGURED, THIS WHOLE THING.
00:17:36.83\00:17:41.56
AND SO THIS INNOCENT ANIMAL,
PREFIGURING CHRIST, WAS OFFERED.
00:17:41.56\00:17:46.60
HIS DEATH WOULD BE IN PLACE OF
THEIRS AND THAT APPLIES TO US ON
00:17:46.60\00:17:54.66
CONDITION THAT WE, AS THEY,
ACCEPT CHRIST AS SAVIOR AND
00:17:54.66\00:18:00.30
COMPLY WITH THE PURPOSES
THROUGH WHICH HE FREELY PROVIDES
00:18:00.30\00:18:04.90
SALVATION. IT'S A FREE
GIFT BUT THERE ARE CONDITIONS.
00:18:04.90\00:18:11.06
THERE ARE VERY CLEAR CONDITIONS
AND LET US NOT BE LIKE THOSE WHO
00:18:11.06\00:18:15.00
SAY, 'WELL, YOU KNOW,
GOD LOVES ME.' YES HE DOES.
00:18:15.00\00:18:19.00
PRAISE GOD FOR THAT.
'AND GOD'LL MEET ME WHERE I AM
00:18:19.00\00:18:23.70
BECAUSE HE'S A LOVING GOD.'
HE WILL. PRAISE GOD FOR THAT.
00:18:23.70\00:18:27.56
BUT GOD'S A RIGHTEOUS GOD
AND IT'S HIS PURPOSE TO MEET YOU
00:18:27.56\00:18:30.13
WHERE YOU ARE BUT NOT LEAVE YOU
THERE AND PARLAY WITH YOUR SINS.
00:18:30.13\00:18:33.46
IT'S HIS PURPOSE TO TAKE YOU
FROM THAT POINT AND SANCTIFY YOU
00:18:33.46\00:18:37.76
AND HE WILL DO THAT IF YOU
BELIEVE IN THE THIRD ANGEL'S
00:18:37.76\00:18:40.83
MESSAGE AND JESUS CHRIST AS
YOUR GREAT HIGH PRIEST IN THE
00:18:40.83\00:18:44.03
HEAVENLY SANCTUARY. HE WILL
FULFILL THAT PURPOSE AND WHEN HE
00:18:44.03\00:18:47.36
COMES IN GLORY YOU WILL BE
LIKE HIM, MORALLY, IN CHARACTER.
00:18:47.36\00:18:53.46
SO, HE PROVIDES SALVATION. IT'S
FREE BUT THERE ARE CONDITIONS.
00:18:53.46\00:19:02.96
AND WHILE THE GUILTY PAIR
WERE SUDDENLY AWARE OF THEIR
00:19:02.96\00:19:06.33
NAKEDNESS, AFTER TRANSGRESSING
GOD'S WILL - AND THEY WERE -
00:19:06.33\00:19:11.26
WE'RE TOLD IN THE 'SPIRIT OF
PROPHECY' THAT GOD CLOTHED THEM
00:19:11.26\00:19:14.40
IN GARMENTS OF LIGHT AND WHEN
THEY SINNED IT WAS ALL GONE SO
00:19:14.40\00:19:20.93
THEY RAN OFF TO TRY AND
FIND SOMETHING TO COVER.
00:19:20.93\00:19:22.90
FOR THE FIRST TIME, THIS STRANGE
THING CALLED SIN, WHICH SEEMED
00:19:22.90\00:19:26.36
SO INFATUATING, SUDDENLY THEY'RE
FEELING UNCOMFORTABLE WITH IT.
00:19:26.36\00:19:30.60
AND SO GOD - GOD HELPED THEM.
00:19:30.60\00:19:33.83
IT SAYS IN GENESIS 3:21, "UNTO
ADAM ALSO AND TO HIS WIFE DID
00:19:33.83\00:19:39.20
THE LORD GOD MAKE COATS
OF SKINS, AND CLOTHED THEM."
00:19:39.20\00:19:44.23
NOW, WHILE GOD PHYSICALLY
COVERED THEIR NAKEDNESS, THIS
00:19:44.23\00:19:48.90
ACT WAS A SYMBOL OF HIS MERCY
IN COVERING THEIR SIN AND THEIR
00:19:48.90\00:19:54.56
MORAL NAKEDNESS - THEIR
MORAL WRETCHEDNESS. YOU KNOW,
00:19:54.56\00:19:57.26
IN THE MESSAGE TO LAODICEA WHAT
DOES JESUS TELL US? HE SAYS,
00:19:57.26\00:20:01.56
'YOU'RE NAKED.' HE SAYS,
'YOU DON'T HAVE ANY CLOTHES ON.
00:20:01.56\00:20:03.93
YOU DON'T HAVE A ROBE OF
RIGHTEOUSNESS AND IT'S THE HOUR
00:20:03.93\00:20:07.73
OF GOD'S JUDGMENT.'
HE SAYS, 'YOU'RE NAKED.'
00:20:07.73\00:20:11.10
HE SAYS, 'I COUNSEL YOU TO BUY
OF ME WHITE LINEN THAT YOU MIGHT
00:20:11.10\00:20:15.73
BE COVERED.' AND THIS IS
WHAT THIS REPRESENTED HERE.
00:20:15.73\00:20:20.40
PRAISE GOD FOR THAT. BUT
AGAIN, AS I SAY, THE SKINS
00:20:20.40\00:20:24.43
OF THESE INNOCENT ANIMALS,
OBVIOUSLY SACRIFICED TO PROVIDE
00:20:24.43\00:20:28.93
SUCH A COVERING, REPRESENTED THE
ROBES OF JESUS' RIGHTEOUSNESS.
00:20:28.93\00:20:36.83
BUT THE PROMISE OF THE REDEEMER
TO COME AS GIVEN IN GENESIS 3:15
00:20:36.83\00:20:43.70
- IT'S GIVEN THERE -
WE'LL READ SOME OF IT.
00:20:43.70\00:20:45.50
WELL, LET'S READ IT - GENESIS
3:15 - WE SHOULD DO THIS -
00:20:45.50\00:20:49.13
GENESIS 3:15, THE
PROMISE OF THE REDEEMER.
00:20:49.13\00:20:53.13
GOD SAYS, "AND I WILL
PUT ENMITY" - SPEAKING TO THE
00:20:53.13\00:20:56.76
SERPENT HERE - HE SAYS, "AND
I'LL PUT ENMITY BETWEEN THEE AND
00:20:56.76\00:21:00.86
THE WOMAN, AND BETWEEN THY SEED
AND HER SEED; IT" - THAT IS,
00:21:00.86\00:21:07.06
GOD'S SEED THAT WAS CHRIST TO
COME, IT SAYS - "HE SHALL BRUISE
00:21:07.06\00:21:10.66
THY HEAD, AND THOU
SHALT BRUISE HIS HEEL."
00:21:10.66\00:21:16.96
AND SO, THIS PROMISE OF THE
SIN-BEARER WAS GIVEN THAT HE
00:21:16.96\00:21:22.03
WOULD COME TO DIE FOR THEIR
INIQUITY - TO PAY THE PRICE FOR
00:21:22.03\00:21:25.60
THEIR TRANSGRESSION AND
SINS SO THEY COULD BE ACCOUNTED
00:21:25.60\00:21:27.96
RIGHTEOUS AND NO LONGER
CONDEMNED IN GOD'S EYES.
00:21:27.96\00:21:32.90
BUT IN HERE THE PROMISE WAS ALSO
GIVEN THAT GOD WOULD PROVIDE
00:21:32.90\00:21:36.96
GRACE, THROUGH THE SEED, AND
STRENGTH TO DELIVER THEM FROM
00:21:36.96\00:21:41.06
THE POWER OF SIN AND SATAN
WHO HOPED TO KEEP THEM FOREVER
00:21:41.06\00:21:45.00
ENSLAVED AND ENTANGLED
IN THE SHACKLES OF INIQUITY.
00:21:45.00\00:21:50.50
AND THIS IS WHY GOD SAID, 'I
WILL PUT ENMITY' - SPEAKING TO -
00:21:50.50\00:21:54.66
'I WILL PUT ENMITY BETWEEN
YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN AND THE
00:21:54.66\00:21:59.20
CHILDREN OF THE SEED.'
NOW, THERE'S A BOOK CALLED 'THE
00:21:59.20\00:22:02.50
SANCTUARY SERVICE' - IT'S
BEEN OUT A LONG TIME - BY M.L.
00:22:02.50\00:22:07.23
ANDREASEN. HE
WAS ONE OF THE BEST
00:22:07.23\00:22:10.90
THEOLOGIANS THAT THE SEVENTH DAY
ADVENTIST CHURCH HAS EVER HAD.
00:22:10.90\00:22:15.00
AND YOU CAN STILL GET IT -
I THINK IT'S - I THINK TEACH
00:22:15.00\00:22:19.03
SERVICES MIGHT BE REPRINTING IT,
BUT GO TO THE ABC IF YOU DON'T
00:22:19.03\00:22:21.90
HAVE IT. IT'S CALLED 'THE
SANCTUARY SERVICE' BY M.L.
00:22:21.90\00:22:24.43
ANDREASEN AND HE WRITES
SOME VERY INTERESTING THINGS.
00:22:24.43\00:22:30.00
AND I WANT TO PICK UP ON A
COMMENT THAT HE HAS GIVEN HERE
00:22:30.00\00:22:34.00
IN HIS BOOK - PAGES 15 AND 16, I
THINK, ABOUT GOD PUTTING ENMITY
00:22:34.00\00:22:44.56
BETWEEN SATAN - BETWEEN GOD'S
- CHRIST'S CHILDREN AND SATAN.
00:22:44.56\00:22:51.53
LET ME JUST READ IT.
00:22:51.53\00:22:53.03
IT SAYS, "A PARAPHRASE OF
THIS TEXT," - 'I WILL PUT ENMITY
00:22:53.03\00:22:57.56
BETWEEN THY SEED' AND SO ON - "A
PARAPHRASE OF THIS TEXT, WITHOUT
00:22:57.56\00:23:01.20
DOING VIOLENCE TO THE MEANING,
WOULD READ, 'I WILL PUT HATRED
00:23:01.20\00:23:04.96
OF SIN INTO YOUR
HEART.' THAT'S WHAT GOD MEANT.
00:23:04.96\00:23:08.93
HE SAID, 'I WILL PUT HATRED OF
SIN INTO THE HEARTS OF ADAM AND
00:23:08.93\00:23:13.50
EVE AND THEIR OFFSPRING - THOSE
WHO TRUST IN THE SEED THAT IS TO
00:23:13.50\00:23:16.56
COME. ARE YOU GLAD
FOR THAT, BY THE WAY?
00:23:16.56\00:23:19.66
I'M GLAD FOR THAT BECAUSE IN
MY NATURAL STATE DO I HATE SIN?
00:23:19.66\00:23:23.83
NOT FOR A MINUTE. IN MY
NATURAL STATE - I'LL COME
00:23:23.83\00:23:26.33
CLEAN - I LOVE THE STUFF.
I HAVE A FALLEN NATURE LIKE
00:23:26.33\00:23:29.53
ANYBODY ELSE,
YES. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
00:23:29.53\00:23:36.26
I'M LEARNING TO HATE
IT. I THANK GOD FOR THAT.
00:23:36.26\00:23:40.36
BECAUSE OF THIS - "THIS WAS A
DISTINCT PROMISE OF PRESENT HELP
00:23:40.36\00:23:48.46
TO ADAM. GOD WOULD
HELP HIM RESIST AND
00:23:48.46\00:23:51.86
CONQUER SIN BY PLACING ENMITY
TO IT IN HIS HEART." AND HE
00:23:51.86\00:23:57.03
CONTINUES HERE, "HATRED OF
SIN IS VITAL TO FULL SALVATION.
00:23:57.03\00:24:03.23
HUMANLY SPEAKING, NO MAN IS SAFE
UNTIL HE HAS LEARNED TO HATE SIN
00:24:03.23\00:24:09.20
AS DEEPLY AS HE FORMERLY
LOVED IT." NOW LISTEN TO THIS.
00:24:09.20\00:24:14.50
HE REALLY WROTE THIS WELL.
HE SAID, "HE MAY RESIST SIN.
00:24:14.50\00:24:20.36
HE MAY EVEN FLEE FROM
IT. BUT AS LONG AS THERE IS A
00:24:20.36\00:24:24.13
LINGERING LOVE OF SIN IN THE
HEART, HE IS NOT ON SAFE GROUND.
00:24:24.13\00:24:29.96
A LOVE OF GOOD IS VITAL.
SO, ALSO, IS HATRED OF EVIL.
00:24:29.96\00:24:35.50
IT MAY TRULY BE SAID THAT OUR
CAPACITY FOR LOVE OF THE GOOD IS
00:24:35.50\00:24:40.26
MEASURED IN BALANCE BY
OUR CAPACITY FOR LOVE -
00:24:40.26\00:24:44.26
OR FOR HATRED OF EVIL."
SOME TIME, I DON'T KNOW, TWO OR
00:24:44.26\00:24:49.13
THREE YEARS AGO, I DID A SERMON
UP HERE CALLED 'SCEPTER OF
00:24:49.13\00:24:52.83
RIGHTEOUSNESS' AND THERE'S
A POWERFUL PASSAGE THERE IN
00:24:52.83\00:24:56.10
HEBREWS CHAPTER 1,
HEBREWS 1:9, AND HE QUOTES THIS.
00:24:56.10\00:25:02.10
HE SAID, "OF CHRIST IT IS SAID,
'THOU HAST LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS
00:25:02.10\00:25:07.66
AND HATED INIQUITY" - THIS IS
SPEAKING OF JESUS - "THOU HAST
00:25:07.66\00:25:11.86
LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS
AND HATED INIQUITY.
00:25:11.86\00:25:14.86
THEREFORE GOD, EVEN THY GOD, HAS
ANOINTED THEE WITH THE OIL OF
00:25:14.86\00:25:18.60
GLADNESS ABOVE THY FELLOWS.
IN CHRIST LOVE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
00:25:18.60\00:25:23.60
WAS ACCOMPANIED
BY A HATRED OF EVIL."
00:25:23.60\00:25:27.53
NOW LISTEN, LET'S NOT GET THIS
WRONG HERE, IN HIS FLESH JESUS
00:25:27.53\00:25:32.16
COULD BE TEMPTED
JUST LIKE ANY ONE OF US.
00:25:32.16\00:25:36.10
IN FACT, THE DEVIL KNEW - THE
DEVIL KNOWS THE HUMAN PSYCHE -
00:25:36.10\00:25:39.90
HE KNOWS WE HAVE FALLEN NATURES
AND SATAN UNDERSTOOD THAT HE HAD
00:25:39.90\00:25:43.76
TO TAKE JESUS DOWN AND HE KNEW
HE HAD A NATURE LIKE US - AND SO
00:25:43.76\00:25:47.73
YOU CAN BE SURE - IF YOU'VE EVER
BEEN WORKED OVER BY THE DEVIL,
00:25:47.73\00:25:51.23
YOU CAN BE SURE HE TRIED TO
WORK JESUS OVER MANY TIMES BY
00:25:51.23\00:25:55.00
PRODDING HIM WHERE HE KNEW THERE
WERE THE RAW INGREDIENTS IN HIS
00:25:55.00\00:25:58.43
FALLEN NATURE WHERE THERE COULD
BE THAT FORMULA WHERE HE REACHED
00:25:58.43\00:26:01.93
CRITICAL MASS AND HE SINNED.
I'M SAYING THIS ON CAMERA AND
00:26:01.93\00:26:04.83
YOU CAN E-MAIL ME IF YOU WANT,
BUT JESUS COULD HAVE SINNED.
00:26:04.83\00:26:07.76
THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT
THAT. BUT HE DIDN'T, PRAISE GOD.
00:26:07.76\00:26:15.73
BUT HE COULD HAVE
SINNED. BUT HE DIDN'T. WHY?
00:26:15.73\00:26:19.96
BECAUSE FALLEN NATURE OR NOT,
FOR ALL HIS FLESH WOULD CRY OUT,
00:26:19.96\00:26:24.83
HE REALIZED HE HAD TO LIVE ABOVE
THE DESIRES AND CLAMORS OF THE
00:26:24.83\00:26:28.13
FALLEN FLESH. HE HAD TO LIVE ON
A DIFFERENT PLANE. AND HE DID.
00:26:28.13\00:26:31.96
AND WE CAN DO THE SAME.
HE WASN'T A LESSER GOD WITH
00:26:31.96\00:26:37.03
ADVANTAGES OVER US,
SERVING A HIGHER GOD.
00:26:37.03\00:26:40.50
IN HIS HUMANITY HE WAS LIKE US.
BUT HE DIDN'T CHERISH IT, EVEN
00:26:40.50\00:26:44.60
THOUGH IT TRIED
TO PULL HIM DOWN.
00:26:44.60\00:26:46.23
HE LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS
AND HE HATED INIQUITY.
00:26:46.23\00:26:52.26
AND IT SAYS HERE, 'IN CHRIST,
LOVE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WAS
00:26:52.26\00:26:56.70
ACCOMPANIED BY HATRED OF EVIL.
BECAUSE OF THESE TWO ATTRIBUTES,
00:26:56.70\00:27:02.10
HE WAS ANOINTED
FOR HIS WORK BY GOD.'
00:27:02.10\00:27:07.00
AND WE CAN BE
ANOINTED FOR OUR WORK AS WELL.
00:27:07.00\00:27:10.83
HAS HE CALLED US TO DO A WORK?
THEN IF HE'S CALLED US TO DO A
00:27:10.83\00:27:14.16
WORK AS HE DID -
TO DO IT - LOVING
00:27:14.16\00:27:17.40
RIGHTEOUSNESS AND
HATING INIQUITY, THEN WILL HE
00:27:17.40\00:27:19.90
QUALIFY US? WILL HE
IMPLANT WITHIN US THAT
00:27:19.90\00:27:21.96
SAME LOVE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WITH
A PASSION AND AT THE OTHER SIDE
00:27:21.96\00:27:25.83
OF THE COIN THAT SAME
PASSION AND HATRED AGAINST EVIL.
00:27:25.83\00:27:28.96
WILL HE DO THAT FOR US? HE WILL.
'THIS COMBINATION OF LOVE AND
00:27:28.96\00:27:34.33
HATRED MUST BE
IN EVERY CHRISTIAN.
00:27:34.33\00:27:37.76
THEY ARE
FUNDAMENTAL IN CHRISTIANITY.
00:27:37.76\00:27:40.23
IT'S SIGNIFICANT THAT THE FIRST
PROMISE OF A SAVIOR IN THE BIBLE
00:27:40.23\00:27:44.13
IS PREFACED BY THE PROMISE OF
GOD'S HELP IN CONQUERING SIN BY
00:27:44.13\00:27:48.93
GIVING MAN A
CAPACITY FOR HATRED OF EVIL.
00:27:48.93\00:27:52.50
THIS HATRED IS A GREAT FACTOR IN
OUR STRUGGLE WITH EVIL AND OUR
00:27:52.50\00:27:56.53
EVENTUAL VICTORY OVER IT.
WERE IT NOT FOR THE FACT THAT
00:27:56.53\00:28:00.66
GOD IMPLANTS IN
THE HEART OF EVERY
00:28:00.66\00:28:02.66
CHRISTIAN A HATRED OF
EVIL AS WELL AS A LOVE FOR
00:28:02.66\00:28:06.36
RIGHTEOUSNESS' - HE SAYS HERE -
'THERE WOULD BE LITTLE HOPE FOR
00:28:06.36\00:28:11.10
US.' BUT PRAISE GOD.
WE'VE GOT A BIG HOPE, FRIENDS.
00:28:11.10\00:28:21.80
AND THAT HOPE AND THAT PROMISE
WAS GIVEN RIGHT THERE IN THAT
00:28:21.80\00:28:25.70
DISMAL SCENE WHERE IT LOOKED
LIKE THE DEVIL WAS RUBBING HIS
00:28:25.70\00:28:29.13
HANDS, 'I GOT HIM!
I GOT HIM! I GOT HIM!'
00:28:29.13\00:28:32.16
AND GOD EXERCISED JUSTICE
BUT HE SAID, 'YOU KNOW WHAT?
00:28:32.16\00:28:38.96
I'M GOING TO SEND YOU A SAVIOR
WHO'LL NOT ONLY REDEEM YOU FROM
00:28:38.96\00:28:43.93
YOUR FAILURE AND PAY THE PRICE
FOR YOUR SIN, BUT THAT SAVIOR IS
00:28:43.93\00:28:49.96
GOING TO DO SOMETHING IN YOUR
LIFE AND IN YOUR HEART, IF YOU
00:28:49.96\00:28:52.56
WILL LET HIM IN, THAT WILL
CHANGE YOU. AND THE STUFF THAT
00:28:52.56\00:28:56.66
YOU MAY HAVE LOVED, YOU'RE
GOING TO HATE IT WITH A PASSION
00:28:56.66\00:29:00.06
AND WHAT YOU DON'T LIKE
YOU STAY AWAY FROM, RIGHT?
00:29:00.06\00:29:03.80
AND GOD IS GOING TO HAVE A
GENERATION OF CHILDREN WHO HATE
00:29:03.80\00:29:06.30
SIN SO MUCH THEY'RE
GOING TO STAY AWAY FROM IT.
00:29:06.30\00:29:09.36
AND THEY WILL BE THE ONES WHEN
JESUS SAYS, IN THE SANCTUARY,
00:29:09.36\00:29:12.10
'IT IS FINISHED.' AND
HE THROWS DOWN THAT CENSER
00:29:12.10\00:29:15.00
AND IF YOU COULD BE THERE IN
THE MOST HOLY PLACE - TRY AND
00:29:15.00\00:29:18.60
IMAGINE - DO YOU
HEAR THAT CENSER?
00:29:18.60\00:29:20.40
IT'S ALL QUIET - OMINOUSLY YOU
HEAR THIS CENSER ROLLING ACROSS
00:29:20.40\00:29:23.46
THE FLOOR - CLUNK,
CLUNK, CLUNK, CLUNK, CLUNK,
00:29:23.46\00:29:25.63
CLUNK...CLUNK...CLUNK - THOSE
FEW COALS JUST COME OUT AND THE
00:29:25.63\00:29:31.43
LAST BIT OF INCENSE OF GOD'S
MERCY ARISES AND IT'S GONE.
00:29:31.43\00:29:35.56
FROM THAT MOMENT
ON, PROBATION IS CLOSED.
00:29:35.56\00:29:39.23
BUT THERE WILL BE THOSE WHO WILL
STAND AT THAT TIME, BEFORE A
00:29:39.23\00:29:45.56
HOLY GOD, WITHOUT A MEDIATOR
BECAUSE IN THE SIMPLE FAITH OF
00:29:45.56\00:29:51.03
LITTLE CHILDREN THEY ACCEPTED
THE PROMISE THAT THE SEED WOULD
00:29:51.03\00:29:57.90
COME AND MAKE THEM LOVERS OF
RIGHTEOUSNESS AND INTENSE HATERS
00:29:57.90\00:30:03.90
OF EVIL. WE HAVE TO MOVE ON.

00:30:22.13\00:30:26.56
BUT WHAT I WANT TO DO THIS
MORNING IS - THERE'S SO MUCH WE
00:30:26.56\00:30:31.23
COULD SAY ABOUT EACH ONE OF
THESE OFFERINGS - THESE VARIOUS
00:30:31.23\00:30:34.10
TYPES OF OFFERINGS - BUT I'VE
DECIDED TO FOCUS, THIS MORNING,
00:30:34.10\00:30:37.96
ON THE BURNT OFFERING.
BECAUSE IT, KIND OF, IS
00:30:37.96\00:30:43.00
INTERLACED IN SO MANY OF
THE OTHER OFFERINGS THAT WERE
00:30:43.00\00:30:45.50
PRESENTED IN THE SANCTUARY.
AND IN HIS BOOK - AGAIN -
00:30:45.50\00:30:49.33
'THE SANCTUARY SERVICE' -
YOU'VE GOT TO GET THAT BOOK.
00:30:49.33\00:30:52.03
YOU'VE REALLY
GOT TO GET THAT BOOK.
00:30:52.03\00:30:53.36
I WAS LOOKING FOR ANOTHER
BOOK THIS WEEK AND I COULDN'T
00:30:53.36\00:30:55.10
LAY MY HANDS ON IT. IT'S
CALLED 'WITH JESUS IN THE
00:30:55.10\00:30:57.93
SANCTUARY' BY LESLIE
HARDINGE AND I COULDN'T FIND IT.
00:30:57.93\00:31:02.30
IT'S SOMEWHERE IN THE
HOUSE. I'LL FIND IT NOW.
00:31:02.30\00:31:04.26
I WAS BLAMING MY SON-IN-LAW.
I SAID, 'ERIC, HAVE YOU BORROWED
00:31:04.26\00:31:06.33
MY BOOK?' AND HE SAID, 'NO.'
BUT ANYWAY, IF YOU HAVE THAT
00:31:06.33\00:31:10.06
BOOK AS WELL, YOU'VE
GOT TO STUDY THE SANCTUARY.
00:31:10.06\00:31:13.43
THAT'S WHERE IT'S AT. SO
GETTING BACK TO ANDREASEN'S
00:31:13.43\00:31:19.00
BOOK - I WANT TO READ ON
PAGE 89 ABOUT BURNT OFFERINGS.
00:31:19.00\00:31:23.13
WE READ THIS: "BURNT OFFERINGS
WERE THE MOST CHARACTERISTIC OF
00:31:23.13\00:31:27.23
ALL OFFERINGS, CONTAINING AS
THEY DID THE ESSENTIAL QUALITIES
00:31:27.23\00:31:32.03
OF THE OTHER SACRIFICES."
OKAY, AND THEN WE GO TO PAGE 90.
00:31:32.03\00:31:38.20
HE SAYS, "BURNT OFFERINGS WERE
USED ON MANY OCCASIONS, SUCH AS
00:31:38.20\00:31:41.90
THE CLEANSING OF LEPERS" - AND
HE GIVES REFERENCES HERE SUCH AS
00:31:41.90\00:31:44.80
LEVITICUS 14 - "THE CLEANSING
OF WOMEN AFTER CHILDBIRTH" - YOU
00:31:44.80\00:31:48.63
FIND THAT IN LEVITICUS 12 - "AND
ALSO FOR CEREMONIAL DEFILEMENT"
00:31:48.63\00:31:52.86
- YOU FIND THAT IN LEVITICUS 15.
HE SAYS, "IN THESE CASES A SIN
00:31:52.86\00:31:56.86
OFFERING WAS USED, AS WELL
AS A BURNT OFFERING. THE FIRST
00:31:56.86\00:32:01.00
OFFERING, THE SIN OFFERING,
ATONED FOR SIN. THE SECOND"
00:32:01.00\00:32:04.43
- AND, BY THE WAY, A BURNT
OFFERING WAS ALWAYS VOLUNTARY.
00:32:04.43\00:32:08.30
IT WAS A VOLUNTARY OFFERING
WHEN IT WAS MIXED WITH THE SIN
00:32:08.30\00:32:12.13
OFFERING - IT WAS KIND OF
REQUIRED BUT, NONETHELESS, MANY
00:32:12.13\00:32:15.03
TIMES IT WAS OFFERED
AS A VOLUNTARY OFFERING.
00:32:15.03\00:32:18.40
THAT'S WHY IT
MEANS SO MUCH TO GOD.
00:32:18.40\00:32:21.46
"THE SECOND - THE BURNT OFFERING
- SHOWED THE OFFENDER'S ATTITUDE
00:32:21.46\00:32:25.36
TOWARD GOD IN
WHOLEHEARTED CONSECRATION."
00:32:25.36\00:32:29.93
SO WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT
HERE WITH BURNT OFFERINGS?
00:32:29.93\00:32:32.56
WE'RE LOOKING AT THE ISSUE OF
THE OFFENDER'S ATTITUDE TOWARD
00:32:32.56\00:32:36.13
GOD IN
WHOLEHEARTED CONSECRATION.
00:32:36.13\00:32:41.56
THE BURNT OFFERING WAS PROMINENT
IN THE CONSECRATION OF AARON AND
00:32:41.56\00:32:45.93
HIS SONS." - WE'RE GOING
TO LOOK AT THAT IN A MINUTE -
00:32:45.93\00:32:48.63
"AS WELL AS THEIR INDUCTION INTO
THE MINISTRY. IT WAS ALSO USED
00:32:48.63\00:32:53.36
IN CONNECTION WITH A NAZARITE
VOW" - NUMBERS CHAPTER 6 -
00:32:53.36\00:32:57.66
"IN ALL THESE INSTANCES IT STOOD
FOR COMPLETE CONSECRATION OF THE
00:32:57.66\00:33:02.83
INDIVIDUAL TO GOD." - AGAIN
WE FIND THAT. THIS IS WHAT THE
00:33:02.83\00:33:06.70
BURNT OFFERING WAS. -
"THE OFFERER PLACED HIMSELF
00:33:06.70\00:33:11.50
SYMBOLICALLY ON THE ALTAR,
HIS LIFE WHOLLY DEVOTED TO GOD."
00:33:11.50\00:33:20.73
NOW, GENESIS CHAPTER 29 - I WANT
TO GO THERE BECAUSE HERE, AS YOU
00:33:20.73\00:33:28.40
READ IN ANDREASEN'S BOOK, 'THE
BURNT OFFERING WAS PROMINENT IN
00:33:28.40\00:33:31.83
THE CONSECRATION OF AARON
AND HIS SONS INTO THE MINISTRY.'
00:33:31.83\00:33:37.80
NOW, I'M GOING TO RELIEVE YOU TO
READ ALL OF CHAPTER 29 YOURSELF
00:33:37.80\00:33:42.03
IN YOUR OWN TIME.
00:33:42.03\00:33:43.33
I'M GOING TO REFER TO IT, BUT AS
YOU READ THROUGH CHAPTER - I'M
00:33:43.33\00:33:47.30
HAVING TO DO THIS BECAUSE
WE'VE GOT SO MUCH THIS MORNING.
00:33:47.30\00:33:49.86
I HATE TO DO IT, BUT AS YOU READ
THROUGH CHAPTER 29, WHEN IT CAME
00:33:49.86\00:33:54.06
TO THE CONSECRATION OF AARON AND
HIS SONS AND THE DEDICATION -
00:33:54.06\00:33:57.13
THE CONSECRATION OF THE
SANCTUARY SO IT COULD BE MADE
00:33:57.13\00:34:02.10
EFFECTIVE AS A PLACE WHERE
PEOPLE COULD COME - WHERE IT
00:34:02.10\00:34:04.90
COULD BE EFFECTIVE AS A TEMPLE,
A TOTAL OF ONE BULLOCK AND TWO
00:34:04.90\00:34:10.66
RAMS WERE ULTIMATELY OFFERED.
THE CONSECRATION OF THE BUILDING
00:34:10.66\00:34:14.96
AND THE DEDICATION
OF AARON AND HIS SONS.
00:34:14.96\00:34:17.56
'FIRST THE BULLOCK WAS SLAIN AND
THEN ONE OF THE RAMS' - YOU CAN
00:34:17.56\00:34:21.16
READ ABOUT THAT - BUT THE
SECOND RAM, WHICH WAS THE LAST
00:34:21.16\00:34:24.70
OFFERING, IT WAS CALLED 'THE
RAM OF DEDICATION' AND NOW I'M
00:34:24.70\00:34:30.43
ACTUALLY GOING TO TURN THERE -
EXODUS 29 - IT'S CALLED 'THE RAM
00:34:30.43\00:34:36.73
OF CONSECRATION' AND YOU'LL
SEE IT CALLED SUCH AT THE END OF
00:34:36.73\00:34:42.33
VERSE 22 - RIGHT AT THE
VERY END. ACTUALLY, NO -
00:34:42.33\00:34:47.16
I'M GOING TO GO A BIT BEFORE
THAT. I'M GOING - WE'RE LOOKING
00:34:47.16\00:34:49.36
IN EXODUS 29 - DID I GIVE
YOU THAT RIGHT? EXODUS 29? OKAY.
00:34:49.36\00:34:53.96
EXODUS 29, VERSE 19 - IT SAYS,
"AND THOU SHALT TAKE THE OTHER
00:34:53.96\00:35:01.33
RAM;" - THIS IS GOD GIVING MOSES
THE INSTRUCTIONS TO TELL AARON
00:35:01.33\00:35:05.70
WHAT TO DO - "THOU SHALT TAKE
THE OTHER RAM;" - SECOND ONE -
00:35:05.70\00:35:08.90
"AND AARON AND HIS SONS SHALL
PUT THEIR HANDS UPON THE HEAD OF
00:35:08.90\00:35:14.16
THE RAM." OKAY - AND VERSE
20 - I WANT TO LOOK AT THAT NOW.
00:35:14.16\00:35:22.53
IT SAYS, "THEN SHALT THOU KILL
THE RAM, AND TAKE OF HIS BLOOD,
00:35:22.53\00:35:30.16
AND PUT IT UPON THE TIP OF THE
RIGHT EAR OF AARON AND UPON THE
00:35:30.16\00:35:36.10
TIP OF THE RIGHT EAR OF
HIS SONS, AND UPON THE THUMB OF
00:35:36.10\00:35:40.60
THEIR RIGHT HAND, AND UPON THE
GREAT TOE OF THEIR RIGHT FOOT,
00:35:40.60\00:35:46.36
AND SPRINKLE THE BLOOD UPON
THE ALTAR ROUND ABOUT." OKAY.
00:35:46.36\00:35:53.66
THAT'S WHAT IT TELLS US
THERE IN VERSE 20. NOW THIS -
00:35:53.66\00:36:00.80
THIS RAM OF DEDICATION
- PART OF IT WAS BURNED.
00:36:00.80\00:36:05.63
SOME OF IT WAS KEPT
BACK, LIKE THE SHOULDER.
00:36:05.63\00:36:08.63
THAT WAS - YOU READ IN
THE CHAPTER - YOU CAN READ IT
00:36:08.63\00:36:10.90
YOURSELF - THAT WAS COOKED.
THEY BOILED IT IN WATER AND
00:36:10.90\00:36:14.23
AARON AND HIS SONS WERE ABLE TO
EAT SOME OF THAT ALONG WITH SOME
00:36:14.23\00:36:17.80
BREAD AND WAFER - PART
OF THE CONSECRATION PROCESS.
00:36:17.80\00:36:24.06
BUT IT SAYS HERE, 'WHATEVER WAS
LEFT OVER 'TIL THE NEXT DAY HAD
00:36:24.06\00:36:29.03
TO BE CONSUMED BECAUSE IT
WAS HOLY.' EXODUS 29:34, "AND IF
00:36:29.03\00:36:33.90
OUGHT OF THE FLESH OF THE
CONSECRATIONS, OR OF THE BREAD,
00:36:33.90\00:36:37.60
REMAIN UNTO THE MORNING, THEN
THOU SHALT BURN THE REMAINDER
00:36:37.60\00:36:41.23
WITH FIRE: IT SHALL NOT BE
EATEN, BECAUSE IT IS HOLY."
00:36:41.23\00:36:46.53
SO YOU'VE GOT THIS RAM OF
CONSECRATION - RAM OF DEDICATION
00:36:46.53\00:36:49.33
- IT'S SACRIFICED, BLOOD PUT ON
HIS EAR, HIS THUMB, HIS FOOT -
00:36:49.33\00:36:52.80
SAME WITH HIS SONS - RIGHT
EAR, RIGHT FOOT, RIGHT THUMB.
00:36:52.80\00:36:56.40
SOME IS EATEN - THE REST
IS BURNED - SOME IS EATEN - IF
00:36:56.40\00:36:59.76
ANY LEFT THE NEXT
MORNING THAT HAS TO BE BURNED
00:36:59.76\00:37:02.23
BECAUSE IT'S HOLY.
00:37:02.23\00:37:03.50
BUT I WANT TO RETURN NOW
TO VERSE 20 WHERE GOD ACTUALLY
00:37:03.50\00:37:08.53
DELINEATES WHAT NEEDED TO HAPPEN
- WHERE THE BLOOD WAS PUT ON
00:37:08.53\00:37:11.63
AARON'S EAR, HIS
THUMB AND HIS FOOT.
00:37:11.63\00:37:15.40
AND I'M READING FROM
PAGE 67 OF ANDREASEN'S BOOK.
00:37:15.40\00:37:20.33
IS THIS EASY FOR -
AM I MAKING THIS CLEAR?
00:37:20.33\00:37:22.96
CAN YOU FOLLOW ME OKAY? ALRIGHT.
00:37:22.96\00:37:25.90
NOTICE - LET'S THINK
ABOUT THIS OURSELVES.
00:37:25.90\00:37:30.50
"THE APPLICATION OF THE BLOOD
TO THE EAR OF AARON, DOUBTLESS
00:37:30.50\00:37:35.00
SIGNIFIES THE CONSECRATION
OF THIS MEMBER TO THE SERVICE OF
00:37:35.00\00:37:40.23
GOD." NOW THINK
ABOUT THAT IN RESPECT
00:37:40.23\00:37:44.20
TO YOURSELF AND
APPLY THIS TO YOURSELF.
00:37:44.20\00:37:47.50
"HENCEFORTH AARON MUST HARKEN
DILIGENTLY TO GOD'S COMMANDMENTS
00:37:47.50\00:37:53.70
AND MUST CLOSE HIS EARS TO EVIL.
00:37:53.70\00:37:58.16
THIS LESSON IS FOR
ALL AND FOR ALL TIME.
00:37:58.16\00:38:02.60
IT IS PROFITABLE FOR MINISTERS
AND LAYMEN ALIKE. WELL WOULD IT
00:38:02.60\00:38:08.20
BE IF IT WERE HEEDED TO OBEY, TO
LISTEN, TO OBEY IS BETTER THAN
00:38:08.20\00:38:14.93
SACRIFICE AND TO
HARKEN THAN THE FAT OF RAMS."
00:38:14.93\00:38:20.70
WE COULD STOP RIGHT THERE AND
TALK THE REST OF THIS MORNING,
00:38:20.70\00:38:22.80
COULDN'T WE -
ABOUT WHAT WE LISTEN TO?
00:38:22.80\00:38:25.80
IT'S A TEMPTATION BUT I
HAVE TO MOVE ON. LET'S MOVE ON -
00:38:25.80\00:38:31.33
STILL IN VERSE 20 - AND THE
BLOOD WAS PUT "...UPON THE THUMB
00:38:31.33\00:38:35.43
OF THEIR RIGHT
HAND..." GOOD MORNING, SIR.
00:38:35.43\00:38:39.46
AND THIS IS WHAT WE READ ON PAGE
67 OF ANDREASEN'S BOOK ABOUT THE
00:38:39.46\00:38:44.63
BLOOD ON THE THUMB OF THE RIGHT
HAND. "THIS PLACING OF THE BLOOD
00:38:44.63\00:38:51.06
ON THE THUMB OF
THE RIGHT HAND OF AARON
00:38:51.06\00:38:53.76
SIGNIFIES THAT HE SHOULD
HENCEFORTH DO RIGHTEOUSNESS.
00:38:53.76\00:38:58.83
JUST AS HEARING HAS TO DO WITH
THE MIND, SO THE HAND HAS TO DO
00:38:58.83\00:39:02.13
WITH BODILY ACTIVITY." IT
STANDS FOR THE LIFE FORCES -
00:39:02.13\00:39:06.30
THE OUTWARD ACT - THE
DOING OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.
00:39:06.30\00:39:09.13
OF CHRIST IT IS WRITTEN
FROM HEBREWS 10:7 - AND THIS IS
00:39:09.13\00:39:12.26
ACTUALLY FROM PSALMS - 'LO
I COME TO DO THY WILL O GOD.'
00:39:12.26\00:39:17.60
"MY MEAT, CHRIST SAID, IS TO DO
THE WILL OF HIM THAT SENT ME AND
00:39:17.60\00:39:20.50
TO FINISH HIS WORK." JOHN 4:34.
TOUCHING THE HAND WITH THE BLOOD
00:39:20.50\00:39:25.33
MEANS THE CONSECRATION OF
THE LIFE AND SERVICE TO GOD.
00:39:25.33\00:39:28.56
ENTIRE DEDICATION.
WHO HAS YOUR HANDS?
00:39:28.56\00:39:34.66
YOU KNOW WHAT'S
GOING ON IN YOUR MIND.
00:39:34.66\00:39:38.83
WHERE ARE YOUR
FONDEST THOUGHTS RIGHT NOW?
00:39:38.83\00:39:42.03
ELLEN WHITE SAYS IN THE BOOK
'STEPS TO CHRIST' 'IF YOU WANT
00:39:42.03\00:39:45.30
TO KNOW WHERE YOU'RE AT' - SHE
SAYS - DO A LITTLE CHECKING -
00:39:45.30\00:39:49.10
WHO HAS YOUR FONDEST THOUGHTS
AND AFFECTIONS RIGHT NOW?
00:39:49.10\00:39:52.30
AND I'LL GUARANTEE WHOEVER
HAS YOUR FONDEST THOUGHTS AND
00:39:52.30\00:39:55.10
AFFECTIONS, WHETHER IT'S GOD
OR SATAN, THEY ALSO HAVE YOUR
00:39:55.10\00:39:57.96
HANDS. AND AS
YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT
00:39:57.96\00:40:01.16
'OH, I'D LIKE TO DO THAT' - IT
MIGHT BE BAD - THEN YOUR HANDS,
00:40:01.16\00:40:04.93
GIVEN THE CHANCE,
THEY'RE READY TO GO.
00:40:04.93\00:40:10.60
OR IF THE THOUGHT, HOPEFULLY,
IS IN THE OTHER DIRECTION, 'OH
00:40:10.60\00:40:15.46
LORD, I WANT TO DO THAT - I WANT
TO DO THAT GOOD THING SO MUCH.'
00:40:15.46\00:40:21.03
IF THAT'S IN YOUR HEART THEN
YOUR HANDS - WHAT DIRECTION ARE
00:40:21.03\00:40:24.30
THEY FACING?
THEY'RE GOING THAT WAY.
00:40:24.30\00:40:28.40
IT SAYS IN PSALMS - IT
SAYS, 'LORD, THY WAY IS IN THE
00:40:28.40\00:40:32.10
SANCTUARY' AND WE CAN SEE THAT
GOD'S WAY - SALVATION AND HOW WE
00:40:32.10\00:40:36.93
ARE TO BE AS CHRISTIANS -
IT'S ALL THERE IN THE SANCTUARY.
00:40:36.93\00:40:41.80
THE SANCTUARY IS A
PICTURE BOOK OF SALVATION.
00:40:41.80\00:40:45.63
THE SANCTUARY IS A PICTURE BOOK
OF HOW GOD IS DEALING WITH THIS
00:40:45.63\00:40:50.90
ISSUE OF SIN. HOW
WE CAN MAINTAIN HIS LAW
00:40:50.90\00:40:55.43
WITHOUT BENDING IT, BREAKING IT
- AND AT THE SAME TIME CAN SAVE
00:40:55.43\00:40:59.70
THESE DISOBEDIENT LITTLE
WRETCHES THAT WE ARE BECAUSE HE
00:40:59.70\00:41:04.90
LOVES US SO MUCH. AND SO
HE PAINTED A PICTURE BOOK
00:41:04.90\00:41:09.23
AND THAT'S THE
SANCTUARY SERVICE.
00:41:09.23\00:41:12.00
AND IF YOU WANT TO UNDERSTAND
SALVATION, YOU LOOK IN THAT BOOK
00:41:12.00\00:41:15.03
AND SEE - YOU'LL SEE THERE.
AND THE BLOOD WHICH WAS ON AARON
00:41:15.03\00:41:21.00
AND HIS SONS' EARS AND THUMBS
AND FEET - THAT BLOOD SYMBOLIZED
00:41:21.00\00:41:27.76
WHOSE BLOOD? JESUS,
THE BLOOD OF THE SEED
00:41:27.76\00:41:33.26
THAT WAS PROMISED - THAT
WOULD COME AND WOULD PUT ENMITY
00:41:33.26\00:41:37.50
BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND
CHRIST. AND, OF COURSE, THE TOE.
00:41:37.50\00:41:46.53
IT SAYS, 'PLACING THE BLOOD ON
THE TOE HAS A SIMILAR MEANING.
00:41:46.53\00:41:48.63
IT SIGNIFIES WALKING IN
THE RIGHT WAY - RUNNING GOD'S
00:41:48.63\00:41:51.86
ERRANDS - STANDING FOR
TRUTH AND RIGHTEOUSNESS.
00:41:51.86\00:41:54.63
IT MEANS TREADING THE PATH OF
OBEDIENCE - HAVING ONE'S STEPS
00:41:54.63\00:41:58.36
ORDERED BY THE LORD.
EVERY FACULTY OF THEIR BEING IS
00:41:58.36\00:42:01.80
TO BE DEDICATED TO GOD AND
CONSECRATED TO HIS SERVICE.
00:42:01.80\00:42:05.83
THAT VISION OF ELLEN WHITE -
THE FIRST ONE SHE HAD - DO YOU
00:42:05.83\00:42:07.86
REMEMBER? WHERE DID
SHE SEE GOD'S PEOPLE?
00:42:07.86\00:42:10.10
THEY WERE GOING
UP THIS HILL, RIGHT?
00:42:10.10\00:42:11.66
THIS PATH - IT WAS A NARROW PATH
AND THERE THEY WERE GOING UP AND
00:42:11.66\00:42:16.76
IT WAS STEEP AND BEHIND THEM
THERE WAS A LIGHT - SHE SAID
00:42:16.76\00:42:19.20
THAT WAS THE MIDNIGHT CRY - AND
AHEAD OF THEM THERE WAS A LIGHT
00:42:19.20\00:42:22.66
AND THERE WAS JESUS. AND
THEY WERE GOING UP THAT PATH
00:42:22.66\00:42:26.00
AND THE ONLY WAY THEY COULD
GO UP THAT PATH AND THE ONLY WAY
00:42:26.00\00:42:28.16
THEY WOULD CONTINUE TO GO UP
THAT PATH IS IF THEY HAD THAT
00:42:28.16\00:42:31.46
BLOOD ON THEIR FEET. WE
NEED OUR FEET CONSECRATING -
00:42:31.46\00:42:37.00
OUR HANDS CONSECRATING - OUR
HEARTS CONSECRATING - OUR ALL
00:42:37.00\00:42:40.96
CONSECRATING WITH
THE BLOOD OF JESUS.
00:42:40.96\00:42:42.80
AND WHEN THINGS GET TOUGH
AND THAT PATH GETS NARROW AND IT
00:42:42.80\00:42:46.30
GETS STEEPER - YOU KNOW
WHICH WAY YOU'LL KEEP GOING?
00:42:46.30\00:42:49.13
YOU'LL KEEP GOING UP AND YOU'LL
SO LOVE RIGHTEOUSNESS AND YOU'LL
00:42:49.13\00:42:55.10
SO HATE EVIL THAT YOU WOULD
RATHER DIE THAN TURN AROUND.
00:42:55.10\00:43:02.10
I WANT TO BE A
CHRISTIAN LIKE THAT. ALRIGHT.
00:43:02.10\00:43:09.73
IN CONCLUDING THIS
SECTION, I WANT TO JUST GO TO
00:43:09.73\00:43:15.03
LEVITICUS 9 - TURN TO LEVITICUS
9 - I'M GOING TO READ VERSES 22,
00:43:15.03\00:43:21.56
23, AND 24 IN A MOMENT.
00:43:21.56\00:43:23.96
BUT IN LEVITICUS CHAPTER 9 - AND
WE'RE GOING HERE TO THIS SAME
00:43:23.96\00:43:27.50
EVENT THAT IS IN GENESIS 29 -
JUST DIFFERENT ACCOUNT - OF WHEN
00:43:27.50\00:43:32.56
AARON AND HIS SONS AND THE
SANCTUARY WERE ALL SPRINKLED AND
00:43:32.56\00:43:36.86
DEDICATED WITH THE BLOOD AND THE
OIL AND ALL THAT WAS NECESSARY.
00:43:36.86\00:43:42.50
BUT HERE IN LEVITICUS 9, ON THIS
SAME DAY - ON THIS SAME OCCASION
00:43:42.50\00:43:48.30
- IN VERSE 4, GOD TOLD THE
PEOPLE THIS - WELL, AARON TOLD
00:43:48.30\00:43:55.00
THE PEOPLE THIS AS THEY WERE
GETTING READY TO GO THROUGH THIS
00:43:55.00\00:43:58.40
CONSECRATION PROCESS. THE
VERY LAST SENTENCE OF VERSE
00:43:58.40\00:44:03.33
4, MOSES SAID, "...FOR TODAY
THE LORD WILL APPEAR UNTO YOU."
00:44:03.33\00:44:12.16
HE SAID, 'THE LORD WILL APPEAR
UNTO YOU.' KEEP THAT IN MIND.
00:44:12.16\00:44:17.96
SO THE CEREMONIES BEGIN AND
IT LASTED, ACTUALLY, SEVEN DAYS,
00:44:17.96\00:44:22.23
ACTUALLY, THE - AARON AND HIS
SONS HAD TO REMAIN WITHIN THE
00:44:22.23\00:44:24.70
CONFINES OF THE SANCTUARY.
BUT NONETHELESS, WE PICK UP NOW
00:44:24.70\00:44:30.10
WHERE EVERYTHING
HAD BEEN COMPLETED.
00:44:30.10\00:44:31.86
AARON AND HIS SONS WERE FULLY
CONSECRATED TO - HE WAS FULLY
00:44:31.86\00:44:36.00
CONSECRATED TO HIS HIGH PRIESTLY
OFFICE AND EMPOWERED BY GOD TO
00:44:36.00\00:44:40.86
FULFILL THIS SACRED ROLE AND
IN LEVITICUS 9 WE FIND THAT HE
00:44:40.86\00:44:46.43
OFFERS THE FIRST SACRIFICE.
AND THEN WE READ, PICKING UP IN
00:44:46.43\00:44:50.46
LEVITCUS 9, VERSE 22, "AND AARON
LIFTED UP HIS HAND TOWARD THE
00:44:50.46\00:44:56.26
PEOPLE, AND BLESSED THEM, AND
CAME DOWN FROM OFFERING OF THE
00:44:56.26\00:45:01.40
SIN OFFERING, AND THE BURNT
OFFERING, AND PEACE OFFERINGS.
00:45:01.40\00:45:06.66
AND MOSES AND AARON WENT INTO
THE TABERNACLE" - SO HE OFFERED
00:45:06.66\00:45:09.63
THE FIRST SACRIFICES.
THEN MOSES - MOSES STILL HAS A
00:45:09.63\00:45:13.40
TEACHING ROLE AT THIS
POINT, SHOWING AARON WHAT TO DO.
00:45:13.40\00:45:17.03
ONCE IT WAS ALL FULLY
CONSECRATED, EVEN MOSES COULDN'T
00:45:17.03\00:45:19.40
GO IN THERE, JUST AARON -
BUT RIGHT AT THIS POINT GOD'S
00:45:19.40\00:45:21.73
GOT MOSES
SHOWING AARON WHAT TO DO.
00:45:21.73\00:45:23.70
AND SO THEY GO INTO THE
SANCTUARY AND THEY GO INTO THE
00:45:23.70\00:45:25.40
HOLY PLACE AND THEY WOULD HAVE
GONE INTO THE MOST HOLY PLACE
00:45:25.40\00:45:28.86
AND MOSES IS INSTRUCTING
AARON, YOU KNOW, 'YOU DO THIS.
00:45:28.86\00:45:33.96
YOU DO THAT.
YOU'VE GOT TO GET IT RIGHT
00:45:33.96\00:45:37.86
BECAUSE GOD IS PARTICULAR.'
THEN THEY COME OUT. NOTICE NOW -
00:45:37.86\00:45:44.43
23 - "AND MOSES AND AARON
WENT INTO THE TABERNACLE OF THE
00:45:44.43\00:45:47.46
CONGREGATION, AND CAME OUT, AND
BLESSED THE PEOPLE: - NOW NOTICE
00:45:47.46\00:45:53.73
- "AND THE GLORY OF THE LORD
APPEARED UNTO ALL THE PEOPLE.
00:45:53.73\00:45:59.43
AND THERE CAME A FIRE OUT FROM
BEFORE THE LORD, AND CONSUMED
00:45:59.43\00:46:02.76
UPON THE ALTAR THE BURNT
OFFERING AND THE FAT: WHICH WHEN
00:46:02.76\00:46:07.63
ALL THE PEOPLE SAW, THEY
SHOUTED, AND FELL ON THEIR
00:46:07.63\00:46:10.26
FACES." 'WHOA - DID YOU SEE
THAT? WHAT HAPPENED?' NOW GOD'S
00:46:10.26\00:46:17.43
SERVANT - HIS SANCTUARY - WAS
CONSECRATED. HE HAD HIS PRIEST.
00:46:17.43\00:46:22.03
HE HAD HIS HIGH PRIEST. HE
HAD HIS SONS - TOO BAD THEY WENT
00:46:22.03\00:46:25.06
ASTRAY BUT LET'S NOT
GET AROUND TO THAT TODAY.
00:46:25.06\00:46:28.10
EVERYTHING WAS READY, THE
SACRIFICE WAS OFFERED, THE HANDS
00:46:28.10\00:46:31.83
WERE RAISED IN BENEDICTION AND
FIRE CAME DOWN FROM GOD OUT OF
00:46:31.83\00:46:36.40
HEAVEN AND THE PRESENCE OF GOD
WAS MANIFEST AND THAT SACRIFICE
00:46:36.40\00:46:40.50
WAS CONSUMED AND THE
PEOPLE FELL ON THEIR FACES.
00:46:40.50\00:46:44.43
DID THEY DO THAT
SOMETIME IN THE PAST?
00:46:44.43\00:46:46.10
WHAT ABOUT ON
MOUNT CARMEL, RIGHT?
00:46:46.10\00:46:50.90
WELL THE POINT I WANT TO MAKE IS
THIS: WHEN WE, AS A PEOPLE, ARE
00:46:50.90\00:47:01.10
FULLY CONSECRATED, FULLY
CONVERTED AND FULLY GIVEN OVER
00:47:01.10\00:47:07.23
TO GOD - WHEN WE, AS A PEOPLE,
HAVE A FULLY CONVERTED AND A
00:47:07.23\00:47:14.26
FULLY CONSECRATED MINISTRY - AND
I'M PART OF THAT - NOT POINTING
00:47:14.26\00:47:18.06
FINGERS BUT I'LL SAY IT AGAIN.
00:47:18.06\00:47:20.53
WHEN WE, AS A PEOPLE, HAVE
A FULLY CONVERTED AND FULLY
00:47:20.53\00:47:24.43
CONSECRATED MINISTRY THAT WILL
ONLY OFFER UPON THE ALTAR OF GOD
00:47:24.43\00:47:29.80
THAT WHICH HE HAS SPECIFICALLY
SAID IN HIS WORD - STRICTLY
00:47:29.80\00:47:34.20
ACCORDING TO HIS WORD, THEN THE
GLORY OF GOD WILL BE MANIFEST IN
00:47:34.20\00:47:38.30
HIS REMNANT CHURCH BEFORE OUR
EYES AND BEFORE THE EYES OF THE
00:47:38.30\00:47:42.53
ONLOOKING UNIVERSE AND
EVEN IN THE EYES OF THE WORLD.
00:47:42.53\00:47:46.40
THAT IS WHY GOD IS TELLING US
WE NEED TO COME INTO LINE AS A
00:47:46.40\00:47:50.70
PEOPLE AND WE NEED TO
SEEK HIM SUCH AS NEVER BEFORE.
00:47:50.70\00:47:55.23
FRIENDS, WE'VE GOT A
LOT OF PRAYING TO DO.
00:47:55.23\00:47:57.76
WE'VE GOT A LOT OF HEART
SEARCHING TO DO - EVEN WITHIN
00:47:57.76\00:48:00.66
THE MINISTRY - A LOT
OF HEART SEARCHING TO DO.
00:48:00.66\00:48:03.96
THERE'S A LOT
OF REPENTING TO DO.
00:48:03.96\00:48:05.70
THERE'S A LOT OF FORSAKING OF
SIN TO DO AND WE NEED TO DO IT
00:48:05.70\00:48:10.96
BECAUSE IF WE DON'T GOD MAY PASS
US BY AND HE WILL FIND SOMEBODY
00:48:10.96\00:48:15.30
WHO WILL ALLOW HIM TO PUT THE
BLOOD ON THEIR EAR AND ON THEIR
00:48:15.30\00:48:19.40
THUMB AND ON THEIR FOOT AND ON
THEIR HEART AND ON THEIR BRAIN
00:48:19.40\00:48:22.13
AND TRULY BRING TO
HIM A SACRIFICE THAT IS A
00:48:22.13\00:48:25.06
SWEET-SMELLING SAVOR BECAUSE
THEY ARE FULLY SURRENDERED TO
00:48:25.06\00:48:28.96
HIM WHO HAS
GIVEN HIS ALL TO THEM.
00:48:28.96\00:48:33.63
I WANT TO READ
GENESIS 22, VERSES 1 AND 2.
00:48:33.63\00:48:37.13
NOW MORIAH, OF COURSE, MOUNT
MORIAH, THIS IS WHERE ABRAHAM
00:48:37.13\00:48:40.70
TOOK HIS DEAR BOY, RIGHT?
AND TALK ABOUT A TEST - VERSE
00:48:40.70\00:48:48.00
1, "AND IT CAME TO PASS AFTER
THESE THINGS, THAT GOD DID TEMPT
00:48:48.00\00:48:52.66
ABRAHAM," - WHAT IT MEANS
IS THAT HE TESTED HIM - "AND IT
00:48:52.66\00:48:56.16
CAME TO PASS AFTER THESE THINGS,
THAT GOD DID 'TEST' ABRAHAM,
00:48:56.16\00:48:59.83
AND SAID UNTO HIM,
'ABRAHAM:' AND HE SAID,
00:48:59.83\00:49:04.90
'BEHOLD, HERE I AM.' AND
HE SAID, 'TAKE NOW THY SON,
00:49:04.90\00:49:11.26
THINE ONLY SON ISAAC, WHOM THOU
LOVEST, AND GET THEE INTO THE
00:49:11.26\00:49:16.60
LAND OF MORIAH; AND OFFER HIM
THERE FOR A BURNT OFFERING UPON
00:49:16.60\00:49:22.13
ONE OF THE MOUNTAINS
WHICH I WILL TELL THEE OF."
00:49:22.13\00:49:28.46
THE FEW MOMENTS WE HAVE
THIS MORNING TO CONTEMPLATE AND
00:49:28.46\00:49:31.93
COMMENT ON THIS EVENT IN
ABRAHAM'S LIFE IS SO - IT'S SO
00:49:31.93\00:49:37.26
PITIFULLY INADEQUATE, IT ALMOST
SEEMS LIKE AN INSULT TO GOD AND
00:49:37.26\00:49:43.63
WHAT'S WRITTEN HERE AND
EVERYTHING IT MEANS, BUT WE JUST
00:49:43.63\00:49:47.33
HAVE A FEW MINUTES.
BUT NONETHELESS, TWO THINGS
00:49:47.33\00:49:50.00
I WANT TO MENTION. THE
FIRST ONE, WE DO NOT - WE
00:49:50.00\00:49:57.16
MUST NOT - WE CANNOT FAIL
TO RECOGNIZE THE MAGNITUDE OF
00:49:57.16\00:50:04.43
ABRAHAM'S FAITH IN BEING WILLING
TO OBEY GOD - BEING WILLING TO
00:50:04.43\00:50:11.03
DESTROY - DESTROY THE BELOVED
CHILD THAT HAD BEEN GIVEN HIM,
00:50:11.03\00:50:18.46
AND THROUGH WHICH
EVERYTHING HAD BEEN PROMISED.
00:50:18.46\00:50:22.53
IT SEEMED ALMOST INSANE BUT GOD
SAID, 'TAKE YOUR BOY, ABRAHAM,
00:50:22.53\00:50:29.83
TAKE HIM INTO THE LAND OF
MORIAH AND YOU OFFER HIM AS A
00:50:29.83\00:50:34.06
SACRIFICE.' AND SO HE WENT.
WELL, JUST IMAGINE WHEN HE'S
00:50:34.06\00:50:41.83
EVEN RAISING
THE KNIFE, YOU KNOW?
00:50:41.83\00:50:44.33
THE FAITH HE HAD - HE'S RAISING
THE KNIFE - GOD SAYS, 'KILL YOUR
00:50:44.33\00:50:47.10
BOY' - HE'S RAISING THE KNIFE
AND YET HE STILL SAID, GOD WILL
00:50:47.10\00:50:50.13
PROVIDE A LAMB AND HE'S
READY TO BRING THAT KNIFE DOWN.
00:50:50.13\00:50:53.10
IT ALMOST SEEMED
LIKE AN ACT OF INSANITY.
00:50:53.10\00:50:56.66
IT MAY BE QUESTIONED AS
INSANITY - I DON'T KNOW - IN HIS
00:50:56.66\00:50:58.86
HUMANNESS - BUT WE KNOW THAT
GOD SPARED HIM FROM HAVING TO DO
00:50:58.86\00:51:03.93
THAT. SO THERE'S ABRAHAM'S
FAITH. WE COULD SAY LOTS ABOUT
00:51:03.93\00:51:07.80
IT BUT I WANT TO MOVE
ON TO THE SECOND POINT.
00:51:07.80\00:51:10.53
BECAUSE I'VE OPTED THIS MORNING
INSTEAD TO FOCUS - AGAIN BRIEFLY
00:51:10.53\00:51:13.46
- ON HOW THIS EVENT NOT ONLY
PREFIGURED THE SACRIFICIAL DEATH
00:51:13.46\00:51:17.30
OF JESUS, OF COURSE, BUT HOW
IT GAVE ABRAHAM - EVEN THOUGH IT
00:51:17.30\00:51:22.86
WAS REALLY SLIGHT COMPARED
TO GOD'S MEASURE OF THE CUP - IT
00:51:22.86\00:51:27.23
STILL GAVE ABRAHAM A TASTE OF
THE UNSPEAKABLE ANGUISH THAT GOD
00:51:27.23\00:51:32.66
THE FATHER ENDURED WHEN
HE OFFERED UP HIS ONLY SON TO
00:51:32.66\00:51:38.90
SUFFER AND DIE FOR THE SINS
OF A WORLD THAT HAS NEVER REALLY
00:51:38.90\00:51:43.23
LOVED HIM.
00:51:43.23\00:51:45.20
IN 'PATRIARCHS AND PROPHETS'
PAGE 154 WE READ THIS, "IT WAS
00:51:45.20\00:51:55.06
TO IMPRESS ABRAHAM'S MIND WITH
THE REALITY OF THE GOSPEL, AS
00:51:55.06\00:51:59.90
WELL AS TO TEST HIS FAITH, THAT
GOD COMMANDED HIM TO SLAY HIS
00:51:59.90\00:52:03.60
SON" - AND IT'S THIS I WANT US
TO FOCUS ON - "THE AGONY WHICH
00:52:03.60\00:52:07.56
HE ENDURED DURING THE DARK
DAYS OF THAT FEARFUL TRIAL WAS
00:52:07.56\00:52:12.20
PERMITTED THAT HE
MIGHT UNDERSTAND FROM HIS OWN
00:52:12.20\00:52:15.13
EXPERIENCE, SOMETHING OF THE
GREATNESS OF THE SACRIFICE MADE
00:52:15.13\00:52:20.36
BY THE INFINITE GOD
FOR MAN'S REDEMPTION.
00:52:20.36\00:52:24.80
NO OTHER TASK COULD HAVE CAUSED
ABRAHAM SUCH TORTURE OF SOUL AS
00:52:24.80\00:52:32.16
DID THE OFFERING OF HIS SON.
GOD GAVE HIS SON TO A DEATH OF
00:52:32.16\00:52:38.60
AGONY AND SHAME."
TRY AND PUT YOURSELF IN
00:52:38.60\00:52:44.76
ABRAHAM'S SHOES
IF YOU POSSIBLY CAN.
00:52:44.76\00:52:49.60
HE'S GOT TO OFFER HIS SON AND
THEN ON TOP OF THAT WE WONDER AT
00:52:49.60\00:52:54.50
THE GRIEF HE MUST HAVE SUFFERED
AS HE FINALLY GETS TO MOUNT
00:52:54.50\00:52:58.86
MORIAH AND HE'S THINKING OF
THE GRIEF THAT THIS IS GOING TO
00:52:58.86\00:53:02.90
BRING TO HIS SON AS
WELL - HIS ONLY BOY.
00:53:02.90\00:53:06.86
AND SO, YOU KNOW, THE BOY ASKS,
'DAD, WHERE'S THE, YOU KNOW,
00:53:06.86\00:53:11.50
RAM?' HE WAS A
BOY, HE WASN'T A GROWN
00:53:11.50\00:53:14.73
MAN, HE WAS WONDERING
WHERE WAS THE SACRIFICE.
00:53:14.73\00:53:18.20
'SON, GOD WILL PROVIDE
A SACRIFICE.' HE GETS TO
00:53:18.20\00:53:23.60
MOUNT MORIAH, SETS UP THE
ALTAR - THERE'S STILL NO RAM.
00:53:23.60\00:53:29.56
AND THEN THE MOMENT COMES THAT
ABRAHAM TURNS TO HIS PRECIOUS
00:53:29.56\00:53:37.40
SON. HE WAS A DAD. HE
WAS A FATHER LIKE ANYBODY
00:53:37.40\00:53:41.10
ELSE AND HE'S GOT TO TURN TO HIS
SON NOW AND BREAK THE NEWS THAT
00:53:41.10\00:53:49.23
'YOU'RE GOING TO
BE THE SACRIFICE.'
00:53:49.23\00:53:53.03
NOW, IF - TO HAVE LISTENED IN TO
THAT CONVERSATION - I'M SURE GOD
00:53:53.03\00:53:58.46
MUST HAVE IT RECORDED AND
WE CAN LISTEN TO IT IN HEAVEN.
00:53:58.46\00:54:01.03
I WANT TO HEAR IT. BUT
IF WE COULD LISTEN INTO THAT
00:54:01.03\00:54:03.96
CONVERSATION IT WOULD BREAK THE
HEART OF EVERY MOTHER AND FATHER
00:54:03.96\00:54:10.86
WHO'S EVER THOUGHT THAT MUCH
ABOUT THEIR CHILD. HE TURNS TO
00:54:10.86\00:54:15.90
HIS SON AND HE SAYS, 'SON, YOU
KNOW I LOVE YOU, DON'T YOU SON?
00:54:15.90\00:54:22.86
WELL, YOU KNOW I DO AND, YOU
KNOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'LL
00:54:22.86\00:54:28.90
THINK ABOUT ME WHEN I TELL YOU
THIS AND I'M NOT SURE HOW YOU
00:54:28.90\00:54:33.03
MIGHT FEEL ABOUT ME.' AND
SO HE'S GOING ON TRYING TO
00:54:33.03\00:54:36.43
FIND THE WORDS AND HE SAYS, 'YOU
KNOW, THIS IS HARD SON AND TO BE
00:54:36.43\00:54:41.70
HONEST I DON'T KNOW
HOW BEST I CAN TELL YOU.'
00:54:41.70\00:54:44.66
AND SO ISAAC'S SAYING,
'DAD. WHAT IS IT DAD? TELL ME.'
00:54:44.66\00:54:49.50
'WELL SON' - AND YOU CAN IMAGINE
THE TEARS START TO STREAM DOWN
00:54:49.50\00:54:54.93
ABRAHAM'S OLD FACE.
HIS HANDS PROBABLY START TO
00:54:54.93\00:54:59.33
SHAKE A LITTLE BIT
AND HE GETS CHOKED UP.
00:54:59.33\00:55:02.96
'WELL SON, THIS IS GOING TO BE
- IT'S GOING TO BE THE HARDEST
00:55:02.96\00:55:06.63
THING I'VE EVER HAD TO DO BUT,
WELL, YOU AND I, WE'VE GOT TO
00:55:06.63\00:55:12.73
SAY 'GOODBYE' TODAY.'
AND THEN HE TELLS HIM.
00:55:12.73\00:55:18.30
TRY TO IMAGINE THAT IF YOU CAN.
00:55:18.30\00:55:20.76
WELL, WE KNOW GOD, IN MERCY,
HE SPARED ABRAHAM'S SON, HE DID.
00:55:20.76\00:55:27.66
BUT ALL THAT THIS PREFIGURED WAS
THAT GOD WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO
00:55:27.66\00:55:31.46
SPARE HIS OWN SON. WE
GET A GLIMPSE OF THIS.
00:55:31.46\00:55:37.50
WE GET A GLIMPSE OF THE DARK
SORROW AND GRIEF THAT SWALLOWED
00:55:37.50\00:55:41.03
UP THE HEART OF GOD AS HE STOOD
SILENTLY IN THE SHADOWS BESIDE
00:55:41.03\00:55:46.76
THE CROSS WATCHING HIS POOR
TORTURED AND BROKEN-HEARTED SON
00:55:46.76\00:55:51.93
BLEEDING AND WASTING AWAY
FOR THE SINS OF THIS WORLD.
00:55:51.93\00:55:56.60
AND AT THAT POINT I HAVE
TO STOP. THE TIME'S GONE.
00:55:56.60\00:56:02.43
BUT I WOULD ASK YOU TO GO READ
'DESIRE OF AGES' - GETHSEMANE
00:56:02.43\00:56:08.83
AND CALVARY - AND ASK GOD
TO GIVE YOU SOMETHING OF AN
00:56:08.83\00:56:13.63
UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT IT
WAS LIKE IN THAT DARK PLACE
00:56:13.63\00:56:19.16
PREFIGURED ON MOUNT MORIAH WHERE
GOD GAVE HIS SON FOR THIS WORLD.
00:56:19.16\00:56:28.73
DON'T RUSH
THROUGH IT. PRAY ABOUT IT.
00:56:28.73\00:56:31.76
AND AS WE START TO SEE THAT
- SEE THE PRECIOUSNESS OF THAT
00:56:31.76\00:56:35.03
BLOOD - WE'LL WANT TO MAKE
OURSELVES A LIVING SACRIFICE.
00:56:35.03\00:56:40.63
SAY, 'LORD, HERE I AM.
ALL OF ME. TAKE IT ALL.
