CHILDREN AS AN ACT OF LOVE.
00:04:56.96\00:04:58.86
SOMETIMES YOU MAY NOT FEEL LIKE
IT'S AN ACT OF LOVE IF YOU'RE
00:04:58.86\00:05:01.56
GOING THROUGH A HARD TIME, BUT
WE MAY TRUST HIM FULLY AND FOR
00:05:01.56\00:05:06.86
US TO DO, THOSE WHO TRUST
HIM WHOLLY FIND HIM WHOLLY TRUE.
00:05:06.86\00:05:13.36
AT THIS TIME LET'S
BOW OUR HEADS FOR PRAYER.
00:05:13.36\00:05:16.90
FATHER IN HEAVEN, THANK YOU
SO MUCH THAT WE CAN TRUST YOU.
00:05:16.90\00:05:21.33
THAT WE KNOW THAT THE TRIALS
THAT COME UPON US ARE - IF
00:05:21.33\00:05:26.43
THEY'RE NOT BROUGHT ON BY
OURSELVES - YOU HAVE GIVEN THEM
00:05:26.43\00:05:36.53
FATHER, I JUST PRAY THAT WHEN WE
GO THROUGH HARD TIMES, WE WON'T
00:05:36.53\00:05:41.96
GIVE UP. WE WILL
TRUST YOU MORE FULLY.
00:05:41.96\00:05:47.43

AT THIS TIME OUR LESSON STUDY IS
00:06:07.13\00:06:13.30
GOING TO BE BROUGHT TO
US BY PASTOR DOUG BATCHELOR.
00:06:13.30\00:06:16.00
HE IS THE SENIOR PASTOR HERE AT
SACRAMENTO CENTRAL SEVENTH DAY
00:06:16.00\00:06:19.16
ADVENTIST CHURCH.
>>AMEN. MORNING. HAPPY SABBATH.
00:06:19.16\00:06:29.06
THANK YOU FOR OUR MUSICIANS
- OUR SINGERS - THAT WAS GOOD.
00:06:29.06\00:06:33.43
I ENJOYED THAT. AND
IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK.
00:06:33.43\00:06:36.86
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU NOTICED I
WAS GONE, BUT I'VE BEEN GONE FOR
00:06:36.86\00:06:40.46
A COUPLE OF WEEKS.
KAREN AND I WERE DOING A
00:06:40.46\00:06:43.00
CAMP MEETING FOR A
COUPLE OF WEEKENDS IN HAWAII.
00:06:43.00\00:06:46.83
I KNOW, THAT'S A
TOUGH ASSIGNMENT.
00:06:46.83\00:06:48.60
AND THAT WAS VERY NICE. I
WENT TO KAUAI - NEVER BEEN
00:06:48.60\00:06:51.60
THERE BEFORE - AND
THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL.
00:06:51.60\00:06:53.66
AND THEN THE SECOND WEEK WE WENT
TO OAHU AND DID A CONVOCATION
00:06:53.66\00:06:58.03
THERE AND HAD A
COUPLE THOUSAND PEOPLE.
00:06:58.03\00:07:00.40
IT WAS A REAL GOOD TURNOUT.
00:07:00.40\00:07:01.76
AND THEN I WAS HOME FOR ONE DAY
AND THEN - HOME FOR ONE NIGHT
00:07:01.76\00:07:07.00
AND THEN FLEW THE NEXT DAY
TO WASHINGTON, D.C. FOR SOME
00:07:07.00\00:07:10.30
MEETINGS BOTH AT THE GENERAL
CONFERENCE AND I WAS PART OF A
00:07:10.30\00:07:14.36
GROUP OF RELIGIOUS BROADCASTERS
MEETING WITH SOME GOVERNMENT
00:07:14.36\00:07:18.06
OFFICIALS TO PRESERVE FREEDOM
TO BROADCAST - FOR CHRISTIANS TO
00:07:18.06\00:07:22.43
BROADCAST - SO WE
HAD THREE MEETINGS.
00:07:22.43\00:07:26.90
ONE WITH A WHITE HOUSE MEETING -
PROBABLY A STAFFER FOR PRESIDENT
00:07:26.90\00:07:31.10
OBAMA TO TALK ABOUT FREEDOM
AND THAT WAS CANCELED BECAUSE WE
00:07:31.10\00:07:35.00
WERE THERE WHEN THE GOVERNMENT
SHUT DOWN AND - BUT THEN WE WERE
00:07:35.00\00:07:40.36
MEETING WITH SOMEONE FROM THE
SENATE - WE ACTUALLY MET WITH
00:07:40.36\00:07:43.13
RAND PAUL AND THEN WE WERE
MEETING WITH SOMEONE FROM THE
00:07:43.13\00:07:45.06
CONGRESS - WE MET WITH
CONGRESSMAN TRENT FRANKS.
00:07:45.06\00:07:48.26
AND SO I WAS IN
WASHINGTON YESTERDAY MORNING.
00:07:48.26\00:07:50.80
SO IT'S A - SO IF I FALL ASLEEP
DURING THE SERMON THAT'LL BE
00:07:50.80\00:07:55.10
PAYBACK FOR ALL THE TIMES - NO.
00:07:55.10\00:07:59.16
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT WAS REALLY
NEAT IS WHEN I WAS MEETING WITH
00:07:59.16\00:08:01.73
THE CONGRESSMAN AND I JUST WENT
UP TO SHAKE HIS HAND - HE SAID,
00:08:01.73\00:08:06.83
'DOUG, I APPRECIATE YOUR
PROGRAMS AND KEEP UP THE GOOD
00:08:06.83\00:08:10.46
WORK. I WATCH.' I
SAID, 'OH, THAT'S NEAT.
00:08:10.46\00:08:13.36
THERE'S ACTUALLY SOME PEOPLE IN
WASHINGTON THAT ARE WATCHING SO
00:08:13.36\00:08:16.50
IT'S NOT TOTALLY
HOPELESS IN OUR GOVERNMENT.
00:08:16.50\00:08:19.43
JUST KEEP THAT IN MIND.
NO, I JUST THOUGHT I'D SHARE
00:08:19.43\00:08:23.26
THAT WITH YOU. THAT WAS FUN.
BUT ANYWAY, I'M THANKFUL TO BE
00:08:23.26\00:08:27.00
ABLE TO COME BACK AND TO STUDY
THIS SUBJECT OF THE SANCTUARY.
00:08:27.00\00:08:30.63
IT IS A VERY
INTERESTING STUDY TODAY.
00:08:30.63\00:08:32.76
I WANT TO ALSO REMIND OUR
FRIENDS THAT, GOING ALONG WITH
00:08:32.76\00:08:34.90
OUR STUDY WE
HAVE A SPECIAL LESSON.
00:08:34.90\00:08:37.90
THIS IS ONE OF OUR PREMIUM
LESSONS THAT AMAZING FACTS
00:08:37.90\00:08:41.23
CARRIES. IT'S CALLED
'GOD DREW THE PLANS' -
00:08:41.23\00:08:43.63
IF YOU WANT TO UNDERSTAND
THE SUBJECT OF THE SANCTUARY,
00:08:43.63\00:08:45.76
IT'S REALLY NEAT.
IT'S FULLY ILLUSTRATED.
00:08:45.76\00:08:48.33
IT'S GOT A LOT OF SCRIPTURES
IN IT AND IT WILL EXPLAIN THIS
00:08:48.33\00:08:51.40
SUBJECT IN A WAY YOU
CAN UNDERSTAND. IT'S FREE.
00:08:51.40\00:08:53.63
CALL AND JUST
ASK FOR OFFER #129.
00:08:53.63\00:08:56.73
AND THE NUMBER, AGAIN,
IS 866-STUDY-MORE - THAT'S
00:08:56.73\00:09:00.70
866-788-3966. WE'LL
SEND IT TO YOU FOR FREE.
00:09:00.70\00:09:05.76
READ IT AND THEN YOU
SHARE IT WITH SOMEBODY ELSE.
00:09:05.76\00:09:08.63
SO WE'RE ON LESSON #4 TODAY
IN OUR STUDY GUIDE, DEALING WITH
00:09:08.63\00:09:12.16
THE SUBJECT OF THE SANCTUARY.
AND WE HAVE A MEMORY VERSE.
00:09:12.16\00:09:16.23
MEMORY VERSE COMES FROM EXODUS
25:8. YOU HAVE YOUR BIBLES?
00:09:16.23\00:09:21.26
EXODUS 25:8 AND HERE IN YOUR
LESSON IT'S COMING FROM THE NEW
00:09:21.26\00:09:25.60
AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE AND
IT SIMPLY SAYS - YOU READY? "LET
00:09:25.60\00:09:32.06
THEM CONSTRUCT ME A SANCTUARY
THAT I MAY DWELL AMONG THEM."
00:09:32.06\00:09:36.80
SEE? I INSTINCTIVELY WENT BACK
TO THE NEW KING JAMES VERSION.
00:09:36.80\00:09:39.73
BUT IT SAYS, "LET THEM CONSTRUCT
A SANCTUARY FOR ME THAT I MIGHT
00:09:39.73\00:09:44.03
DWELL AMONG THEM." THE LORD -
NOW DOES GOD DWELL IN BUILDINGS
00:09:44.03\00:09:49.26
MADE WITH STUCCO AND SHEET
ROCK AND TWO-BY-FOURS OR DOES
00:09:49.26\00:09:58.10
THE LORD REALLY DWELL IN PEOPLE?
YOU ARE THE TEMPLE OF GOD.
00:09:58.10\00:10:02.63
BUT THIS WAS TO
REPRESENT THE PRESENCE OF GOD.
00:10:02.63\00:10:05.20
IT SORT OF GAVE THEM A CENTRAL
FOCAL POINT FOR HIS PRESENCE
00:10:05.20\00:10:09.56
BEING WITH THEM. NOW
IN YOUR LESSON - I THINK
00:10:09.56\00:10:12.16
WE'VE ALREADY DONE THIS. I
KNOW I DID IT, I THINK, WHEN
00:10:12.16\00:10:13.93
WE FIRST INTRODUCED THIS STUDY.
IN THE LESSON, ON THE FIRST
00:10:13.93\00:10:16.90
PAGE OF YOUR LESSON, YOU'LL
NOTICE THERE'S AN OUTLINE OF THE
00:10:16.90\00:10:19.60
SANCTUARY. IT KIND OF GIVES YOU
A MAP. I BET MOST OF YOU HERE
00:10:19.60\00:10:22.96
KNOW THAT THE
SANCTUARY HAD THOSE THREE ROOMS.
00:10:22.96\00:10:27.03
YOU HAD THE COURTYARD - THREE
AREAS - YOU HAD THE COURTYARD
00:10:27.03\00:10:29.60
WHERE YOU HAD THE ALTAR AND YOU
HAD THE LAVER WITH WATER IN IT.
00:10:29.60\00:10:34.43
THEN YOU WENT INTO THE
HOLY PLACE WHERE YOU HAD -
00:10:34.43\00:10:36.93
WHAT WAS IN THERE?
LAMPSTAND, THE TABLE OF SHEW
00:10:36.93\00:10:42.93
BREAD - SHOW BREAD - I USED THE
KING JAMES - AND THE ALTAR OF
00:10:42.93\00:10:47.76
INCENSE. AND THEN YOU HAD
ONE ROOM LEFT WHICH WAS WHAT?
00:10:47.76\00:10:54.16
THE MOST HOLY PLACE OR THE HOLY
OF HOLIES AND IN THERE WAS ONE
00:10:54.16\00:10:58.10
THING. TYPICALLY
THERE WAS ONE THING IN
00:10:58.10\00:11:00.63
THERE AND THAT WAS THE ARK
OF THE COVENANT WITH THE ANGELS.
00:11:00.63\00:11:03.53
IT IS BELIEVED THAT ON THE DAY
OF ATONEMENT THEY WOULD ACTUALLY
00:11:03.53\00:11:07.50
BRING THE ALTAR OF INCENSE INTO
THE HOLY OF HOLIES AND YOU'LL
00:11:07.50\00:11:12.30
FIND REFERENCE TO THAT IN THE
BOOK OF HEBREWS, BUT NORMALLY -
00:11:12.30\00:11:16.30
BECAUSE WHEREVER THEY WERE
MINISTERING TO THE LORD, THEY
00:11:16.30\00:11:18.36
BROUGHT THAT TO
REPRESENT THEIR PRAYERS.
00:11:18.36\00:11:20.46
SO IT MAY HAVE SHIFTED
ONE DAY DURING THE YEAR.
00:11:20.46\00:11:23.20
AND SO, JUST TO GIVE YOU A
PICTURE OF THAT - NOW THERE WERE
00:11:23.20\00:11:27.73
THREE TEMPLES IN THE BIBLE -
EARTHLY TEMPLES - YOU HAD ONE
00:11:27.73\00:11:34.00
DURING THE TIME OF MOSES THAT
WAS THE MOBILE TEMPLE, SO TO
00:11:34.00\00:11:37.86
SPEAK, THAT WAS - THEY
CARRIED WITH THEM THROUGH THE
00:11:37.86\00:11:41.00
WILDERNESS. THEY
HAD TO PACK IT AROUND.
00:11:41.00\00:11:44.30
THEY'D SET IT UP. THEY'D USE
IT. THEY MIGHT STAY IN ONE PLACE
00:11:44.30\00:11:46.86
SOMETIMES FOR UP TO A YEAR OUT
OF THOSE 40 YEARS OF WANDERING,
00:11:46.86\00:11:50.23
THEN THEY WOULD STRIKE IT
- PACK IT ALL BACK UP AGAIN.
00:11:50.23\00:11:53.66
IT WAS PORTABLE SO THAT THE
LEVITES WOULD CARRY IT TO THE
00:11:53.66\00:11:58.86
THEY WOULD PITCH THEIR CAMP, SET
UP THE TABERNACLE - IT WAS THE
00:11:58.86\00:12:01.73
CENTER OF THEIR SOCIETY.
WELL, THE REASON IT HAD TO BE A
00:12:01.73\00:12:05.43
MOBILE TEMPLE IS
THEY WERE A MOBILE NATION.
00:12:05.43\00:12:08.13
BUT ONCE THEY SETTLED IN
THE PROMISED LAND, GOD WANTED A
00:12:08.13\00:12:12.16
FIXED PLACE THAT WOULD
REPRESENT HIS PRESENCE.
00:12:12.16\00:12:16.50
NOW, THE REASON HE HAD THIS
PLACE IS BECAUSE GOD WANTS TO
00:12:16.50\00:12:20.53
BE WITH HIS PEOPLE. 'LET
THEM BUILD ME A SANCTUARY
00:12:20.53\00:12:22.60
THAT I MIGHT DWELL AMONG THEM.
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE PLAN
00:12:22.60\00:12:27.40
OF SALVATION? WHAT HAS HAPPENED
BECAUSE OF SIN? SIN CAUSES
00:12:27.40\00:12:39.76
SEPARATION. SIN CAUSES
SEPARATION IN FAMILIES. SIN
00:12:39.76\00:12:44.70
CAUSES SEPARATION AMONG CHURCH
MEMBERS. SIN CAUSES SEPARATION
00:12:44.70\00:12:49.30
OF NATIONS AND CULTURES
AND RACES AND SIN SEPARATES.
00:12:49.30\00:12:55.73
USUALLY BECAUSE SELFISHNESS
IS LIKE TWO MAGNETS THAT REPEL.
00:12:55.73\00:12:59.90
AND WHEN ADAM AND EVE SINNED AND
GOD CAME LOOKING FOR THEM, THEY
00:12:59.90\00:13:06.03
RAN FROM GOD. SIN
CAUSES SEPARATION.
00:13:06.03\00:13:10.30
NOW THERE'S
SOME VERSES FOR THAT.
00:13:10.30\00:13:11.63
SOMEONE LOOK UP - LET ME JUST
SAY - WHO'S GOT OUR MICROPHONES?
00:13:11.63\00:13:14.90
ELDER RAY HAS ONE OVER
HERE AND DO WE HAVE A MICROPHONE
00:13:14.90\00:13:17.10
OVER HERE? PANCHO HAS ONE, OKAY.
00:13:17.10\00:13:19.33
SOMEONE LOOK UP
FOR ME ISAIAH 64:7.
00:13:19.33\00:13:21.76
IF WE GAVE YOU THAT VERSE, HOLD
UP YOUR HAND AND WE'LL BRING YOU
00:13:21.76\00:13:25.10
THE MICROPHONE AND
SOMEONE ELSE LOOK UP FOR ME
00:13:25.10\00:13:28.50
PSALM 132, VERSE 4.
WHICH SIDE IS THAT VERSE ON?
00:13:28.50\00:13:32.90
THEY'RE BOTH ON THAT SIDE,
OKAY WE'LL GET YOU THE MIC NEXT.
00:13:32.90\00:13:37.50
AS WE PREPARE FOR THAT I'M GOING
TO READ A VERSE, DEUTERONOMY
00:13:37.50\00:13:40.13
31:17 - DEUTERONOMY 31:17,
"THEN MY ANGER SHALL BE AROUSED
00:13:40.13\00:13:50.13
HIDE MY FACE FROM THEM, AND
THEY WILL SHALL BE DEVOURED."
00:13:50.13\00:13:54.03
- IF THEY TURN FROM GOD
AND WORSHIP PAGAN GODS THE LORD
00:13:54.03\00:13:57.46
SAID, 'I WILL HIDE
MY FACE FROM THEM.'
00:13:57.46\00:13:59.63
THERE'S A
SEPARATION THAT HAPPENS.
00:13:59.63\00:14:01.40
WE CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT
GOD. YOU KNOW, THE EVANGELICALS
00:14:01.40\00:14:06.30
TYPICALLY REFER TO HELL AS
ETERNAL SEPARATION FROM GOD.
00:14:06.30\00:14:11.76
WE'RE, AT LEAST, TEMPORARILY
SEPARATED NOW, BUT GOD DOESN'T
00:14:11.76\00:14:14.20
WANT US TO BE SEPARATED.
YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU GET TO
00:14:14.20\00:14:20.10
REVELATION IT'S JUST SUCH
A WONDERFUL STATEMENT WHEN IT
00:14:20.10\00:14:23.36
SAYS, 'GOD HIMSELF WILL BE WITH
THEM.' GOD WITH THEM. ALRIGHT,
00:14:23.36\00:14:28.13
I THINK WE'RE READY.
GO AHEAD AND READ FOR US
00:14:28.13\00:14:29.70
ISAIAH 64, VERSE 7.
00:14:29.70\00:14:32.06
>>ISAIAH 64, VERSE 7, "FOR YOU
HAVE HIDDEN YOUR FACE FROM US
00:14:32.06\00:14:37.36
AND HAVE CONSUMED US
BECAUSE OF OUR INIQUITIES."
00:14:37.36\00:14:40.46
>>WHAT DO OUR INIQUITIES
DO? HIDES THE FACE OF GOD.
00:14:40.46\00:14:44.30
WHY CAN'T WE SEE GOD
RIGHT NOW? JESUS SAID,
00:14:44.30\00:14:46.86
'I'M WITH YOU WHEREVER YOU GO.'
WELL, WHY CAN'T WE JUST LOOK AND
00:14:46.86\00:14:50.86
SEE GOD LIKE I'M
LOOKING AND SEEING YOU?
00:14:50.86\00:14:53.80
FOR ONE THING, THE PRESENCE OF
GOD WOULD CONSUME US BECAUSE SIN
00:14:53.80\00:14:58.06
CANNOT EXIST IN THE
PRESENCE OF A HOLY GOD.
00:14:58.06\00:15:01.70
SIN SEPARATED LUCIFER FROM
GOD. HE WAS CAST OUT OF HEAVEN.
00:15:01.70\00:15:05.76
GOD WOULD LOVE TO
REVEAL HIMSELF TO US.
00:15:05.76\00:15:08.63
LOOK AT THE HOLY
MEN AND WOMEN OF GOD.
00:15:08.63\00:15:10.46
WHEN THEY HAD VISIONS OF
GOD WHAT WAS THEIR REACTION?
00:15:10.46\00:15:14.53
THEY WERE TERRIFIED.
THESE ARE GOOD PEOPLE LIKE MOSES
00:15:14.53\00:15:18.20
AND EZEKIEL AND DANIEL -
AND ISAIAH SAID, 'WOE IS ME I AM
00:15:18.20\00:15:22.80
UNDONE.' THEY WERE
PETRIFIED AT THE HOLY
00:15:22.80\00:15:25.13
PRESENCE OF GOD AND THEY EVEN
SAW IT VEILED. WHEN GOD CAME
00:15:25.13\00:15:28.96
DOWN ON MOUNT SINAI AND GAVE
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS HE SAID,
00:15:28.96\00:15:31.66
'DON'T COME NEAR THE
MOUNTAIN OR YOU'LL DIE.
00:15:31.66\00:15:33.90
AND HE WAS SHIELDED IN SMOKE AND
CLOUDS BECAUSE THE GLORY AND THE
00:15:33.90\00:15:38.00
HOLINESS OF GOD - MOSES CAME
DOWN, HIS FACE WAS SHINING JUST
00:15:38.00\00:15:42.16
FROM THE GLORY OF GOD.
AND SO, THE GLORY OF GOD WOULD
00:15:42.16\00:15:45.63
CONSUME US AND SO EVEN
BECAUSE OF HIS LOVE FOR US WE'RE
00:15:45.63\00:15:49.03
SEPARATED BECAUSE OF OUR
SIN. IT WOULD JUST DESTROY US.
00:15:49.03\00:15:53.93
YOU KNOW, THERE ARE - THEY CALL
IT XP - NOT COMPUTER - IT'S A
00:15:53.93\00:16:03.50
PIGMENTOSIS DISEASE WHERE
THESE CHILDREN ARE BORN WITHOUT
00:16:03.50\00:16:07.33
PIGMENT AND IF THEY'RE EXPOSED
TO LIGHT THEY GET CANCER ALMOST
00:16:07.33\00:16:10.86
IMMEDIATELY. THEY VERY
QUICKLY DEVELOP CANCER.
00:16:10.86\00:16:13.80
HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW
WHAT XERODERMA PIGMENTOSA IS?
00:16:13.80\00:16:17.56
- I'M NOT SAYING IT RIGHT,
BUT IT'S SUMMARIZED BY XP.
00:16:17.56\00:16:20.90
THESE CHILDREN HAVE TO LIVE
IN THE DARK AND THEY HAVE TO BE
00:16:20.90\00:16:24.10
SLATHERED WITH SUNSCREEN IF THEY
EVER JUST GO FROM THE HOUSE TO
00:16:24.10\00:16:28.10
THE CAR. AND THEY
JUST CAN'T GET OUT INTO
00:16:28.10\00:16:30.76
THE LIGHT OR IT REALLY
KILLS THEM LITTLE BY LITTLE.
00:16:30.76\00:16:35.40
AND WE SORT OF HAVE A DISEASE
OF SIN WHERE THE LIGHT OF GOD IS
00:16:35.40\00:16:42.33
MORE THAN WE CAN HANDLE.
LET ME GIVE YOU ANOTHER ONE,
00:16:42.33\00:16:45.93
ISAIAH 59, VERSE 2, "BUT YOUR
INIQUITIES HAVE SEPARATED YOU
00:16:45.93\00:16:50.43
FROM YOUR GOD; AND YOUR SINS
HAVE HIDDEN HIS FACE FROM YOU SO
00:16:50.43\00:16:54.96
THAT HE WILL NOT HEAR."
SO SIN SEPARATES FROM GOD.
00:16:54.96\00:17:00.20
SO GOD WANTED A PLACE THAT
WOULD REPRESENT HIS PRESENCE.
00:17:00.20\00:17:05.23
DO YOU HAVE YOUR BIBLES?
THIS IS NOT IN YOUR LESSON.
00:17:05.23\00:17:07.70
TURN WITH ME TO DEUTERONOMY
CHAPTER 12 - DEUTERONOMY 12,
00:17:07.70\00:17:11.96
VERSE 13. THIS IS
IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER.
00:17:11.96\00:17:14.63
WHEN THEY WERE IN THE WILDERNESS
AND THEY WERE WANDERING AROUND -
00:17:14.63\00:17:17.16
IT WAS A MOBILE SANCTUARY
- BUT GOD TOLD THEM IT WON'T
00:17:17.16\00:17:19.73
ALWAYS BE THIS WAY.
DEUTERONOMY 12, VERSE 13, "TAKE
00:17:19.73\00:17:25.70
HEED TO YOURSELF THAT YOU DO NOT
OFFER YOUR BURNT OFFERINGS IN
00:17:25.70\00:17:29.76
EVERY PLACE THAT YOU SEE;" - OR
ANY PLACE THAT YOU SEE - "BUT IN
00:17:29.76\00:17:34.53
THE PLACE WHICH THE LORD
CHOOSES," - NOW WHO IS GOING TO
00:17:34.53\00:17:37.93
CHOOSE THE PLACE?
ALRIGHT, IT'S NOT LIKE THEY
00:17:37.93\00:17:41.26
COULD JUST SAY,
'YOU KNOW, LOCATION'S
00:17:41.26\00:17:42.80
IMPORTANT, LET'S FIND A GOOD
CROSSROAD' AND, YOU KNOW, WHEN
00:17:42.80\00:17:45.80
YOU PICK A CHURCH LOCATION'S
REAL IMPORTANT - AND WON'T HAVE
00:17:45.80\00:17:49.56
TOO MUCH NOISE AND - THEY
WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO PICK IT, GOD
00:17:49.56\00:17:53.03
SAID, 'I WILL PICK THE PLACE.'
SO GOD SAID, 'I WILL PICK A
00:17:53.03\00:17:56.30
PLACE.' THE REASON DAVID WAITED
SO LONG TO GET THINGS READY
00:17:56.30\00:18:00.46
TO BUILD THE SANCTUARY - GOD
HAD NEVER TOLD THEM WHERE YET.
00:18:00.46\00:18:04.36
HUNDREDS OF YEARS WENT BY DURING
THE TIME OF JOSHUA AND THE
00:18:04.36\00:18:07.20
JUDGES WHERE THEY DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT WAS THE PLACE AND SO THEY
00:18:07.20\00:18:10.36
STARTED MAKING THEIR
OFFERINGS ON EVERY HIGH PLACE
00:18:10.36\00:18:13.00
AND EVERY HILL.
THAT WAS NOT GOD'S PLAN.
00:18:13.00\00:18:15.90
AND, IN FACT, YOU KNOW, FOR
A WHILE THEY DID IT AT SHILOH.
00:18:15.90\00:18:19.96
AND YOU REMEMBER SOLOMON MADE
A BIG OFFERING AT GIBEON - A
00:18:19.96\00:18:23.00
THOUSAND SACRIFICES - AND THEY
WERE KIND OF PICKING DIFFERENT
00:18:23.00\00:18:25.36
PLACES BUT THEY WERE WAITING FOR
THE PLACE TO BUILD THE HOUSE OF
00:18:25.36\00:18:27.90
THE LORD. THEY DIDN'T
KNOW WHERE TO DO THAT.
00:18:27.90\00:18:30.16
A WAR ALMOST BROKE OUT BETWEEN
THREE OF THE TRIBES IN THE NORTH
00:18:30.16\00:18:38.13
WHICH WERE EPHRAIM, MANASSEH, OR
WAS IT GILEAD - UP IN GILEAD IS
00:18:38.13\00:18:46.76
WHERE IT WAS AND IT WAS HALF THE
TRIBE OF MANASSEH, AND EPHRAIM -
00:18:46.76\00:18:53.86
GAD - THAT'S IT - GAD, EPHRAIM,
AND HALF THE TRIBE OF MANASSEH
00:18:53.86\00:18:56.63
AND THEY BUILT AN ALTAR ON THE
OTHER SIDE OF THE JORDAN IN THE
00:18:56.63\00:19:00.20
NORTH IN THE COUNTRY OF GILEAD.
00:19:00.20\00:19:01.76
AND WHEN THE OTHER TRIBES FOUND
OUT THEY GOT ALL ARMED AND READY
00:19:01.76\00:19:04.56
FOR WAR AND THEY CAME UP AND
SAID, 'YOU KNOW THAT WE'RE NOT
00:19:04.56\00:19:07.33
SUPPOSED TO
SEPARATE IN OUR WORSHIP.
00:19:07.33\00:19:08.80
GOD TOLD US HE'D
TELL US THE PLACE.'
00:19:08.80\00:19:10.63
AND THEY SAID,
'NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
00:19:10.63\00:19:11.96
WE DIDN'T DO THIS TO ESTABLISH A
NEW PLACE TO OFFER SACRIFICE, WE
00:19:11.96\00:19:16.00
DID IT AS A MEMORIAL TO REMIND
YOU THAT WE ARE PART OF THE
00:19:16.00\00:19:20.03
TRIBES BECAUSE IN THE YEARS THAT
GO BY YOU'RE GOING TO FORGET.
00:19:20.03\00:19:22.76
WE'RE ON THE OTHER
SIDE OF THE JORDAN.
00:19:22.76\00:19:23.90
WE'RE SORT OF
OFF IN THE FRINGES.
00:19:23.90\00:19:25.50
WE DID THIS JUST AS A MEMORIAL
THAT WE'RE ALL PART OF THE SAME
00:19:25.50\00:19:27.86
PEOPLE.' AND THEY SAID,
'OH, OKAY, WE'LL LET IT GO.'
00:19:27.86\00:19:30.66
BUT - SO THEY WERE WAITING
FOR GOD TO CHOOSE THE PLACE.
00:19:30.66\00:19:32.93
NOW HOW DID GOD CHOOSE THE
PLACE? ALRIGHT, IF YOU LOOK IN
00:19:32.93\00:19:38.43
GENESIS 14 - THIS IS THE FIRST
CLUE - EVEN BEFORE THEY GOT
00:19:38.43\00:19:42.66
INTO THE PROMISED LAND.
GENESIS 14, VERSE 18 - I SHOULD
00:19:42.66\00:19:47.83
SAY, EVEN BEFORE THE EXODUS.
"THEN MELCHIZEDEK KING OF SALEM
00:19:47.83\00:19:53.60
BROUGHT OUT BREAD AND WINE; HE
WAS THE PRIEST OF GOD MOST HIGH.
00:19:53.60\00:19:58.16
AND HE BLESSED HIM AND SAID:
'BLESSED BE ABRAM OF GOD MOST
00:19:58.16\00:20:01.50
HIGH, POSSESSOR OF HEAVEN AND
EARTH; AND BLESSED BE GOD MOST
00:20:01.50\00:20:05.73
HIGH, WHO HAS DELIVERED
YOUR ENEMIES INTO YOUR HAND.'
00:20:05.73\00:20:08.03
AND HE GAVE HIM A TITHE
OF ALL." MELCHIZEDEK IS A
00:20:08.03\00:20:10.70
TYPE OF WHO? OF CHRIST.
00:20:10.70\00:20:14.16
AND HE BRINGS
OUT BREAD AND WINE.
00:20:14.16\00:20:18.53
WHAT DID JESUS DO
AT THE LAST SUPPER?
00:20:18.53\00:20:21.00
BREAD AND WINE - IT'S A
SIGN OF THE COVENANT, RIGHT?
00:20:21.00\00:20:24.00
AND IT SAYS HE'S A PRIEST.
JESUS IS OUR HIGH PRIEST.
00:20:24.00\00:20:27.73
AND IT SAYS HE'S A
KING. JESUS IS OUR KING.
00:20:27.73\00:20:30.70
AND HIS NAME MELCHIZEDEK
MEANS 'KING OF RIGHTEOUSNESS'.
00:20:30.70\00:20:33.36
JESUS IS OUR
KING OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.
00:20:33.36\00:20:34.93
NOW HERE YOU'VE GOT THIS
MYSTERIOUS PRIEST THAT APPEARS
00:20:34.93\00:20:38.36
AND ABRAHAM RECOGNIZES HIM AS
SUPERIOR - HE BRINGS HIM TITHE.
00:20:38.36\00:20:42.63
THIS PRIEST APPEARS OUT
OF NOWHERE - THE BIBLE SAYS,
00:20:42.63\00:20:46.06
'WITHOUT
BEGINNING OF DAYS OR END'.
00:20:46.06\00:20:48.33
IN OTHER WORDS, THE BIBLE
DOESN'T TELL US WHO HIS PEOPLE
00:20:48.33\00:20:50.50
WERE, WHAT IS ANCESTRY WAS
- HE JUST SUDDENLY APPEARS.
00:20:50.50\00:20:54.26
IT'S LIKE JESUS IS FROM
EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING.
00:20:54.26\00:20:56.20
BUT IT TELLS US THERE IS
A PLACE WHERE HE APPEARS.
00:20:56.20\00:20:59.16
WHERE IS IT? SALEM.
KING OF WHAT? SALEM.
00:20:59.16\00:21:04.16
LATER THAT PLACE IS KNOWN AS -
AND THE WORD 'SALEM' IS 'SHALOM'
00:21:04.16\00:21:08.90
- THAT'S THE SAME WORD. AND
THE PLACE WHERE HE ARRIVES -
00:21:08.90\00:21:14.63
THAT HE APPEARS - IS LATER KNOWN
AS 'JERUSHALOM' - SAME PLACE.
00:21:14.63\00:21:18.86
SO THIS IS INTERESTING, THIS IS
WHERE THE TEMPLE ENDS UP BEING
00:21:18.86\00:21:23.03
BUILT - AT THE SAME PLACE
WHERE ABRAHAM PAYS TITHE TO THIS
00:21:23.03\00:21:27.93
MYSTERIOUS PRIEST
WHO IS A TYPE OF CHRIST.
00:21:27.93\00:21:30.40
A PLACE IS FIRST CHOSEN - IT'S
NOT EVEN CHOSEN THEN, IT'S SORT
00:21:30.40\00:21:33.76
OF - A CLUE IS GIVEN. ALRIGHT?
NOW THERE'S ANOTHER CLUE -
00:21:33.76\00:21:38.16
GENESIS 22, VERSE 2 - THIS PLACE
- AND WE'RE UNDER THE SECTION OF
00:21:38.16\00:21:43.80
'THE PLACE OF THE
PRESENCE' - GENESIS 22, VERSE 2.
00:21:43.80\00:21:47.93
AND GOD SAYS TO ABRAHAM - YOU
KNOW THIS - "TAKE NOW YOUR SON,
00:21:47.93\00:21:52.03
YOUR ONLY SON ISAAC, WHOM
YOU LOVE, AND GO TO THE LAND OF
00:21:52.03\00:21:54.60
MORIAH, AND OFFER HIM THERE AS
A BURNT OFFERING ON ONE OF THE
00:21:54.60\00:21:58.60
MOUNTAINS OF WHICH
I SHALL TELL YOU." -
00:21:58.60\00:22:00.93
'I'M GOING TO PICK A PLACE
WHERE YOU'RE TO OFFER YOUR SON.'
00:22:00.93\00:22:04.16
WHERE WERE THOSE
MOUNTAINS OF MORIAH?
00:22:04.16\00:22:07.26
THEY WERE IN THE SAME AREA AS
SALEM OR SHALOM - LATER KNOWN AS
00:22:07.26\00:22:12.23
JERUSALEM OR MOUNT ZION
- IT'S ALL THE SAME SPOT.
00:22:12.23\00:22:16.96
SO ANOTHER CLUE ABOUT THE PLACE
WHERE THE TEMPLE IS GOING TO BE
00:22:16.96\00:22:19.76
BUILT. NOW HERE'S THE LAST CLUE:
00:22:19.76\00:22:23.23
2 SAMUEL 24, VERSE 18 - AND,
NOW THIS HAPPENS WHEN DAVID WAS
00:22:23.23\00:22:29.56
NUMBERING ISRAEL. HE
WASN'T SUPPOSED TO NUMBER
00:22:29.56\00:22:32.46
ISRAEL AND GOD WAS DISPLEASED.
DAVID WAS - YOU KNOW GOD - JUST
00:22:32.46\00:22:38.10
VERY QUICKLY I HAVE TO SAY THIS
BECAUSE PEOPLE SAY, 'WHY WAS GOD
00:22:38.10\00:22:40.66
SO HARD ON DAVID
FOR NUMBERING ISRAEL?
00:22:40.66\00:22:42.86
DON'T WE DO A CENSUS AND DIDN'T
THEY COUNT THEIR SOLDIERS?
00:22:42.86\00:22:45.16
WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THAT?
AREN'T YOU SUPPOSED TO COUNT
00:22:45.16\00:22:46.46
YOUR SHEEP?' THAT
WASN'T THE REASON.
00:22:46.46\00:22:48.90
DAVID WAS NUMBERING ISRAEL
BECAUSE HE WANTED TO SEE HOW BIG
00:22:48.90\00:22:51.43
HIS ARMY WAS. AND
EVERY TIME DAVID HAD GONE
00:22:51.43\00:22:54.43
INTO BATTLE
TRUSTING GOD HE ALWAYS WON.
00:22:54.43\00:22:58.73
IHE ALWAYS WON TRUSTING
GOD. HE DIDN'T TRUST HOW MANY
00:22:58.73\00:23:01.26
SOLDIERS HE HAD. MANY
TIMES DAVID AND A HANDFUL
00:23:01.26\00:23:04.26
FOUGHT BIG ARMIES AND WON.
AND SO NOW HE'S STARTING TO
00:23:04.26\00:23:08.00
TRUST HIS ARMY. HIS
FAITH WAS SHIFTING FROM GOD
00:23:08.00\00:23:10.60
AND GOD WAS
GOING TO PUNISH THEM.
00:23:10.60\00:23:12.93
A PLAGUE WENT THROUGH THE LAND.
PEOPLE WERE DYING AND DAVID IS
00:23:12.93\00:23:17.53
SAYING, 'LORD, DON'T
DO IT TO YOUR PEOPLE.'
00:23:17.53\00:23:19.13
HE'S PRAYING FOR
THEM, HE'S INTERCEDING.
00:23:19.13\00:23:20.66
GOD SAYS, 'OKAY,
MAKE AN OFFERING.'
00:23:20.66\00:23:22.63
WHERE DOES HE TELL
HIM TO MAKE THE OFFERING?
00:23:22.63\00:23:24.10
AND YOU READ IN 2 SAMUEL 24:18,
"AND GAD CAME THAT DAY TO DAVID
00:23:24.10\00:23:30.36
AND SAID TO HIM, - GAD THE
PROPHET - 'GO UP, ERECT AN ALTAR
00:23:30.36\00:23:34.46
TO THE LORD ON THE THRESHING
FLOOR OF ARAUNAH THE JEBUSITE.'
00:23:34.46\00:23:39.26
- NOW YOU KNOW WHERE JEBUS
WAS? THE CAPITAL OF JEBUS WAS
00:23:39.26\00:23:42.26
JERUSALEM. THIS WAS
A THRESHING FLOOR IN
00:23:42.26\00:23:45.90
JERUSALEM. NOW A
THRESHING FLOOR IS A BIG
00:23:45.90\00:23:49.33
FLAT PAVED AREA - THEY WOULD
PAVE IT WITH STONES - WHERE
00:23:49.33\00:23:54.73
TIT WAS USUALLY A HIGH SPOT
BECAUSE THEY WANTED A BREEZE.
00:23:54.73\00:23:58.00
THEY'D THROW THE GRAIN - THEY
BEAT THE GRAIN - THEY'D ROUGHEN
00:23:58.00\00:24:01.13
UP THE CHAFF, THEY'D THROW IT IN
THE AIR ON THIS HIGH SPOT, THE
00:24:01.13\00:24:04.23
WIND WOULD BLOW THE CHAFF
AWAY, THE GRAIN WOULD FALL DOWN.
00:24:04.23\00:24:07.23
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN WOMEN
THRESHING RICE OR WHEAT WHERE
00:24:07.23\00:24:10.40
THEY'RE USING A WINNOWING FAN -
THEY'RE THROWING IT UP AND IT'S
00:24:10.40\00:24:12.73
- THE CHAFF - IS BLOWING AWAY?
AND SO THIS IS A HIGH SPOT THAT
00:24:12.73\00:24:18.30
WAS IN SALEM OR JERUSALEM ON
MOUNT ZION AND GOD SAID BUILD AN
00:24:18.30\00:24:23.33
ALTAR HERE' AND DAVID BOUGHT THE
LAND FROM ARAUNAH THE JEBUSITE.
00:24:23.33\00:24:28.66
THAT WAS THE PLACE WHERE HE TOLD
SOLOMON GOD WANTED THEM TO BUILD
00:24:28.66\00:24:31.73
THE TEMPLE. SO THIS
IS HOW IT ENDED UP - AND
00:24:31.73\00:24:34.53
WHEN THE TEMPLE WAS DESTROYED
BY NEBUCHADNEZZAR AND THEY CAME
00:24:34.53\00:24:36.63
BACK TO REBUILD, WHERE'D
THEY REBUILD IT? SAME SPOT.
00:24:36.63\00:24:39.93
WHY HAVEN'T THE JEWS REBUILT THE
TEMPLE IN SOME OTHER TERRITORY
00:24:39.93\00:24:45.63
OF ISRAEL? BECAUSE
THEY KNOW THE BIBLE
00:24:45.63\00:24:48.80
TEACHES GOD PICKED A SPOT AND
THEY CAN'T REBUILD IT IN THAT
00:24:48.80\00:24:52.13
SPOT NOW. WHY? THERE'S
A VERY BIG MUSLIM MOSQUE
00:24:52.13\00:24:58.13
THERE. IT'S THE
THIRD HOLIEST PLACE FOR
00:24:58.13\00:25:00.06
THE MUSLIMS. THEY
SAY IT'S WHERE MUHAMMAD
00:25:00.06\00:25:02.10
BRIEFLY ASCENDED INTO
HEAVEN AND CAME BACK AGAIN.
00:25:02.10\00:25:05.13
IT'S CALLED THE DOME OF THE
ROCK. IT'S BY THE WAILING WALL.
00:25:05.13\00:25:08.33
THE JEWS DON'T GO UP ON THE
PLATFORM THERE BECAUSE THEY SAY
00:25:08.33\00:25:10.60
THAT'S HOLY GROUND SO
THEY PRAY AT THE WALL.
00:25:10.60\00:25:13.03
AND THEY'RE SECRETLY LONGING FOR
THE DAY WHEN THAT DOME OF THE
00:25:13.03\00:25:16.70
ROCK IS NOT THERE ANYMORE.
AND I'VE BEEN TO THE DOME OF THE
00:25:16.70\00:25:19.90
ROCK AND, YOU
KNOW, ANYONE CAN GO.
00:25:19.90\00:25:22.46
AND YOU GO INSIDE THE MOSQUE -
YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR SHOES OFF
00:25:22.46\00:25:26.50
- YOU LOOK DOWN IN THE HOLE AND
YOU KNOW WHAT'S IN THE MIDDLE?
00:25:26.50\00:25:28.66
THE WHOLE DOME IS BUILT AROUND A
ROCK AND IN THE ROCK THERE IS A
00:25:28.66\00:25:35.00
TUNNEL THAT GOES DOWN TO THE
KIDRON VALLEY BECAUSE THAT WAS
00:25:35.00\00:25:38.96
THE PLACE WHERE THE ALTAR
OF SOLOMON SUPPOSEDLY WAS BUILT
00:25:38.96\00:25:45.40
CLEANSED. BECAUSE THEY HAD A LOT
OF SACRIFICES THEY ALLOWED THE
00:25:45.40\00:25:48.20
BLOOD TO RUN FROM THAT
POINT OUT TO THE KIDRON VALLEY.
00:25:48.20\00:25:51.96
AND SO - BUT THE MUSLIMS SAY
IT WASN'T ISAAC THAT WAS OFFERED
00:25:51.96\00:25:55.66
HERE, IT WAS ISHMAEL.
BUT IT'S THE SAME PLACE THAT
00:25:55.66\00:26:00.13
ABRAHAM OFFERED HIS SON.
THEY INSIST IT WAS ISHMAEL AND
00:26:00.13\00:26:02.66
NOT ISAAC. HOW
MANY OF YOU KNEW THAT?
00:26:02.66\00:26:05.30
SO THAT SPOT IS
A VERY SACRED SPOT.
00:26:05.30\00:26:10.46
THAT'S WHERE THE
TEMPLE WAS BUILT.
00:26:10.46\00:26:11.76
THAT WAS THE
PLACE THAT WAS CHOSEN.
00:26:11.76\00:26:13.96
THAT'S WHY IT HAS NOT BEEN
REBUILT AND GOD SAID, 'I WILL
00:26:13.96\00:26:18.73
PICK A PLACE.' NOW I
GAVE YOU A VERSE - PSALM
00:26:18.73\00:26:20.96
132, VERSE 4 - YOU'RE GOING
TO READ THAT FOR US. GO AHEAD.
00:26:20.96\00:26:25.40
>>PSALM 132:4 AND 5, "I WILL NOT
GIVE SLEEP TO MY EYES OR SLUMBER
00:26:25.40\00:26:30.06
TO MY EYELIDS, UNTIL I FIND A
PLACE FOR THE LORD, A DWELLING
00:26:30.06\00:26:33.86
PLACE FOR THE
MIGHTY ONE OF JACOB."
00:26:33.86\00:26:38.13
HE SAID, 'WE'VE
GOT TO FIND A PLACE.'
00:26:38.13\00:26:40.86
'IT'S NOT FAIR THAT I DWELL IN
HOUSE MADE OF CEDAR' DAVID SAID
00:26:40.86\00:26:43.53
- 'AND THE ARK OF THE LORD
IS IN A TENT.' YOU CAN ALSO READ
00:26:43.53\00:26:46.73
IN THAT SAME PSALM -
LOOK AT VERSES 13 AND 14.
00:26:46.73\00:26:49.83
"FOR THE LORD HAS CHOSEN
ZION; HE HAS DESIRED IT FOR HIS
00:26:49.83\00:26:54.60
DWELLING PLACE; 'THIS IS MY
RESTING PLACE'" - FOR HOW LONG?
00:26:54.60\00:26:58.50
- "'FOREVER; HERE I WILL
DWELL, FOR I HAVE DESIRED IT.'"
00:26:58.50\00:27:02.26
GOD SAID, 'I HAVE CHOSEN A
PLACE THAT WILL BE THE PLACE
00:27:02.26\00:27:05.33
WHERE MY PRESENCE IS
GOING TO BE REPRESENTED.
00:27:05.33\00:27:09.03
NOW, I TOOK A LOT OF TIME TO
TALK ABOUT THAT BECAUSE WE'VE
00:27:09.03\00:27:11.26
GOT THIS WHOLE QUARTER
TO TALK ABOUT THE SANCTUARY.
00:27:11.26\00:27:13.80
I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THE
PLACE THAT WAS CHOSEN FOR THE
00:27:13.80\00:27:17.13
EARTHLY SANCTUARY GOD WENT TO
GREAT EFFORT TO SAY, 'I'M GOING
00:27:17.13\00:27:20.03
TO PICK A SPOT ON THE PLANET
THAT WILL - THROUGH WHICH THIS
00:27:20.03\00:27:24.33
BUILDING - I WILL
TEACH THE PLAN OF SALVATION.
00:27:24.33\00:27:27.16
IT WILL BE THE PLACE WHERE YOU
COME TO OFFER YOUR SACRIFICES.
00:27:27.16\00:27:30.33
IT REPRESENTS
MY PRESENCE.' OKAY.
00:27:30.33\00:27:34.20
LET ME GIVE YOU - LET ME
GIVE SO IYOU ONE MORE VERSE.
00:27:34.20\00:27:39.23
2 CHRONICLES - 2 CHRONICLES
CHAPTER 5, VERSE 13 AND 14,
00:27:39.23\00:27:47.06
"INDEED IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN
THE TRUMPETERS AND SINGERS WERE
00:27:47.06\00:27:51.06
AS ONE, TO MAKE ONE SOUND TO BE
HEARD IN PRAISING AND THANKING
00:27:51.06\00:27:54.70
THE LORD, AND WHEN THEY LIFTED
UP THEIR VOICE WITH THE TRUMPETS
00:27:54.70\00:27:57.76
AND CYMBALS AND INSTRUMENTS
OF MUSIC, AND PRAISED THE LORD,
00:27:57.76\00:28:00.63
SAYING: 'FOR HE IS GOOD,
FOR HIS MERCY ENDURES FOREVER.'
00:28:00.63\00:28:03.96
THAT THE HOUSE, THE HOUSE OF THE
LORD, WAS FILLED WITH A CLOUD,
00:28:03.96\00:28:08.76
SO THAT THE PRIESTS COULD NOT
CONTINUE MINISTERING BECAUSE OF
00:28:08.76\00:28:11.00
THE CLOUD; FOR THE GLORY OF THE
LORD FILLED THE HOUSE OF GOD."
00:28:11.00\00:28:16.63
IT ACTUALLY TELLS US IN - I
BELIEVE IT'S IN KINGS - THAT
00:28:16.63\00:28:21.70
FIRE CAME DOWN FROM GOD WHEN
SOLOMON DEDICATED HIS TEMPLE AND
00:28:21.70\00:28:26.03
GOD SHOWED HIS
APPROVAL OF THAT LOCATION.
00:28:26.03\00:28:29.20
NOW THERE'S NO RECORD FIRE
CAME DOWN WHEN THEY REBUILT THE
00:28:29.20\00:28:31.56
TEMPLE DURING THE TIME OF EZRA
AND NEHEMIAH, BUT FIRE CAME DOWN
00:28:31.56\00:28:35.20
FROM HEAVEN TO SHOW - LIKE IN
THE WILDERNESS WHEN THEY BUILT
00:28:35.20\00:28:38.86
THE FIRST TEMPLE, FIRE CAME
DOWN FROM GOD TO INAUGURATE IT.
00:28:38.86\00:28:42.10
THAT'S WHY THEY
CALLED IT HOLY FIRE.
00:28:42.10\00:28:43.83
NOW THIS FIRE COMES DOWN AGAIN
- THEY WERE ONLY SUPPOSED TO USE
00:28:43.83\00:28:46.33
THE FIRE FROM THAT ALTAR IGNITED
BY GOD, ON THE ALTAR OF INCENSE
00:28:46.33\00:28:51.20
AND FOR THEIR SACRIFICES.
WHY WERE THE SONS OF - NADAB AND
00:28:51.20\00:28:57.03
ABIHU - SONS OF AARON SLAIN?
BECAUSE THEY USED PROFANE FIRE.
00:28:57.03\00:29:01.13
THEY JUST TOOK COMMON FIRE FROM
THE CAMP FIRE AND BROUGHT IT
00:29:01.13\00:29:03.33
INTO THE TEMPLE. ALRIGHT.
SO THIS PLACE WAS CHOSEN.
00:29:03.33\00:29:07.43
THE BIBLE TELLS US - IF YOU
GO TO MONDAY - THIS PLACE IS
00:29:07.43\00:29:10.20
SUPPOSED TO BE A HOLY PLACE.
NOW WHAT DOES THE WORD 'HOLY'
00:29:10.20\00:29:14.10
MEAN? MOST OF YOU,
I ASSUME, BROUGHT A
00:29:14.10\00:29:17.70
BOOK WITH YOU TODAY,
IT'S CALLED THE BIBLE.
00:29:17.70\00:29:20.60
BUT OFTEN IT SAYS ON
YOUR BIBLES - ANOTHER WORD.
00:29:20.60\00:29:23.76
I'M JUST CHECKING TO
MAKE SURE MINE SAYS IT - YEAH.
00:29:23.76\00:29:26.16
HOLY BIBLE. IF YOU'VE
GOT A SPANISH ONE IT'S
00:29:26.16\00:29:28.86
SANTA BIBLIA, RIGHT?
SANTA MEANS SANCTIFIED.
00:29:28.86\00:29:33.63
WE GET THE WORD - IT MEANS
HOLY OR SET ASIDE AS DIFFERENT
00:29:33.63\00:29:37.43
FROM OTHERS. WHEN TWO
PEOPLE GET MARRIED THEY
00:29:37.43\00:29:40.36
CALL IT WHAT KIND OF MATRIMONY?
HOLY. WHY HOLY? SET ASIDE.
00:29:40.36\00:29:46.46
IT'S NOT A COMMON RELATIONSHIP.
IT BECOMES A SACRED
00:29:46.46\00:29:49.40
RELATIONSHIP. IT'S AN
EXCLUSIVE RELATIONSHIP
00:29:49.40\00:29:53.46
BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE. THE BIBLE
IS NOT LIKE ANY OTHER BOOK.
00:29:53.46\00:29:56.90
IT'S AN EXCLUSIVE BOOK. IT'S
A SACRED BOOK. IT'S A HOLY BOOK.
00:29:56.90\00:30:02.06
AND SO THE BIBLE TELLS US
THE TEMPLE - YOUR TITHE - ONLY A
00:30:02.06\00:30:06.26
FEW THINGS ARE HOLY IN THE BIBLE
- TITHE IS SAID TO BE HOLY.
00:30:06.26\00:30:11.43
THE SANCTUARY WAS
TO BE A HOLY PLACE.
00:30:11.43\00:30:19.83
GOD HAS BEEN SET
ASIDE FOR A HOLY PURPOSE.
00:30:19.83\00:30:24.90
WHAT DID JESUS DO TWICE IN
HIS MINISTRY WHEN THEY STARTED
00:30:24.90\00:30:31.06
TREATING A PLACE SET ASIDE - THE
TEMPLE - FOR SACRED PURPOSES?
00:30:31.06\00:30:36.20
IT TURNED INTO SORT OF A FLEA
MARKET WHERE THEY WERE SELLING
00:30:36.20\00:30:39.20
ANIMALS AND ARGUING ABOUT PRICES
AND 'GET YOUR TEMPLE KEYCHAINS
00:30:39.20\00:30:44.33
AND T-SHIRTS' - AND IT JUST SORT
OF BECAME A BAZAAR IN MORE WAYS
00:30:44.33\00:30:50.00
THAN ONE. WHAT DID JESUS
DO? ONE OF THE FEW TIMES THAT A
00:30:50.00\00:30:56.46
RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION WAS SEEN
IN CHRIST AND HE DROVE THE MONEY
00:30:56.46\00:31:02.20
CHANGERS AND THE MERCHANTS AND
THE ANIMALS OUT OF THE TEMPLE.
00:31:02.20\00:31:06.43
AND THEN HE
CONCLUDED WITH A STATEMENT.
00:31:06.43\00:31:08.90
HE SAID - THE BIBLE TELLS US -
'THIS HOUSE - MY HOUSE IS TO BE
00:31:08.90\00:31:15.10
A HOUSE OF PRAYER FOR ALL
NATIONS AND YOU HAVE MADE IT A
00:31:15.10\00:31:18.80
DEN OF THIEVES.' TURNED
IT INTO THE VERY OPPOSITE
00:31:18.80\00:31:22.36
OF WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE.
SO HOW DOES GOD FEEL ABOUT IT
00:31:22.36\00:31:25.26
WHEN THOSE THINGS THAT ARE SET
ASIDE AND CONSECRATED AS SACRED
00:31:25.26\00:31:29.66
ARE TREATED AS COMMON OR
PROFANE? IT'S SOMETHING THAT IS
00:31:29.66\00:31:35.40
SUPPOSED TO BE
RESPECTED IN THAT WAY. OKAY.
00:31:35.40\00:31:39.23
SO THE SANCTUARY WAS TO BE HOLY.
SOMEBODY READ FOR ME EXODUS 40 -
00:31:39.23\00:31:44.96
WHO'S GOT EXODUS
40, VERSES 9 AND 10?
00:31:44.96\00:31:47.06
THIS IS IN YOUR -
GOT RIGHT BEHIND YOU RAY.
00:31:47.06\00:31:49.70
RAISE YOUR HAND. OKAY.
00:31:49.70\00:31:52.70
AND WHILE WE GET THAT I'M GOING
TO READ LEVITICUS 19, VERSE 2 -
00:31:52.70\00:31:57.56
LEVITICUS 19, VERSE 2, "SPEAK
TO ALL THE CONGREGATION OF THE
00:31:57.56\00:32:03.06
CHILDREN OF ISRAEL AND SAY TO
THEM: 'YOU SHALL BE HOLY, FOR I
00:32:03.06\00:32:21.66
TESPECIALLY GOOD ON THE SABBATH
DAY? MORE THAN OTHER DAYS?
00:32:21.66\00:32:32.06
SHOULD PASTORS BE GODLY PEOPLE?
BECAUSE WE HAVE A HOLY WORK.
00:32:32.06\00:32:37.86
IF YOU'RE NOT A PASTOR
SHOULD YOU BE LESS GODLY?
00:32:37.86\00:32:42.30
COME ON NOW, SHOULDN'T
PASTORS BE A BETTER EXAMPLE?
00:32:42.30\00:32:46.30
IT'S KIND OF A TRICK QUESTION.
00:32:46.30\00:32:48.70
OUR EXPECTATION OF PASTORS IS
- YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOME THINGS
00:32:48.70\00:32:53.36
THAT YOU JUST KNOW IS NOT GOOD
BEHAVIOR, BUT IT'S ESPECIALLY
00:32:53.36\00:32:56.23
BAD IF IT'S ON THE SABBATH.
AND THERE'S SOME THINGS YOU KNOW
00:32:56.23\00:33:01.63
YOU SHOULDN'T
MAYBE TALK ABOUT, BUT
00:33:01.63\00:33:03.53
IT'S ESPECIALLY BAD IF
IT'S IN THE CHURCH, RIGHT?
00:33:03.53\00:33:07.10
AND I KNOW THERE ARE PEOPLE -
PROBABLY SOME SITTING HERE TODAY
00:33:07.10\00:33:09.46
- WHO MIGHT BE STRUGGLING WITH
SMOKING, BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN
00:33:09.46\00:33:12.20
THEM LIGHT UP IN THE SANCTUARY.
00:33:12.20\00:33:14.66
THERE'S JUST SOMETHING ABOUT A
HOLY PLACE, A HOLY OFFICE, THAT
00:33:14.66\00:33:22.13
INVITES US TO BEHAVE
IN A UNIQUE, SACRED WAY.
00:33:22.13\00:33:29.50
WE'RE CALLED A HOLY PEOPLE.
BUT IT'S NOT JUST PASTORS.
00:33:29.50\00:33:33.20
BIBLICALLY, YOU ARE
TO BE A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD.
00:33:33.20\00:33:36.53
EVERYBODY - MAN AND WOMAN
- IS PART OF THIS SPIRITUAL
00:33:36.53\00:33:41.23
PRIESTHOOD WHERE WE ARE TO
REPRESENT GOD - IF YOU'RE A
00:33:41.23\00:33:43.96
CHRISTIAN - TO A
LOST WORLD. RIGHT?
00:33:43.96\00:33:47.76
ALL OF US HAVE A WORK TO DO.
00:33:47.76\00:33:50.03
AND SO WE'RE TO REMEMBER
THIS AND BE HOLY IN THAT WAY.
00:33:50.03\00:33:53.83
ALRIGHT, READ FOR
US EXODUS 40:9 AND 10.
00:33:53.83\00:33:56.90
>AND ANOINT THE TABERNACLE AND
ALL THAT IS IN IT; AND YOU SHALL
00:34:00.93\00:34:04.53
HALLOW IT AND ALL ITS
UTENSILS, AND IT SHALL BE HOLY.
00:34:04.53\00:34:08.50
YOU SHALL ANOINT THE ALTAR OF
THE BURNT OFFERING AND ALL ITS
00:34:08.50\00:34:11.33
UTENSILS, AND
CONSECRATE THE ALTAR.
00:34:11.33\00:34:14.33
THE ALTAR SHALL BE MOST HOLY."
>>ALRIGHT, HOW MANY UTENSILS AND
00:34:14.33\00:34:19.80
HOW MUCH OF THE FURNITURE
WAS ANOINTED IN THE SANCTUARY?
00:34:19.80\00:34:23.30
IT SAID THE WORD
'ALL'. IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT.
00:34:23.30\00:34:26.73
WHERE WAS THE
ARK OF THE COVENANT?
00:34:26.73\00:34:30.50
HOLY OF HOLIES, RIGHT?
WHO ONLY COULD GO IN THERE?
00:34:30.50\00:34:35.63
ONLY THE HIGH PRIEST.
BUT IN THE EARTHLY TABERNACLE
00:34:35.63\00:34:39.46
THERE WAS ONE INDIVIDUAL BESIDES
AARON THAT WENT IN THERE.
00:34:39.46\00:34:42.86
MOSES. WHAT WAS
THE ONLY DAY THAT THE
00:34:42.86\00:34:47.03
HIGH PRIEST WAS
SUPPOSED TO GO INTO
00:34:47.03\00:34:49.13
THE HOLY OF
HOLIES? DAY OF ATONEMENT.
00:34:49.13\00:34:54.23
I TO SAY TOO MUCH ON THAT RIGHTN
COMINOW, BUT THERE WAS ONEWA
00:34:54.23\00:34:58.53
EXCEPTION, WHEN MOSES WENT INTO
THE HOLY OF HOLIES, OTHER THAN
00:34:58.53\00:35:03.36
THE DAY OF ATONEMENT.
WHEN THEY CONSECRATED THE
00:35:03.36\00:35:07.63
SANCTUARY ALL OF THE FURNITURE
AND ALL OF THE IMPLEMENTS WERE
00:35:07.63\00:35:10.80
ACTIVATED. I MEAN,
WHEN YOU LAUNCH A SHIP
00:35:10.80\00:35:13.70
WHAT DO THEY DO?
THEY CHRISTEN IT.
00:35:13.70\00:35:16.16
YOU'VE SEEN THAT BEFORE WHERE
THEY CRACK MARTINELLI'S OR WINE
00:35:16.16\00:35:18.76
OR SOMETHING ON IT THEN IT
SLIDES OFF ITS RAMP INTO THE
00:35:18.76\00:35:21.70
OCEAN AND - I SAW ONE CLIP ONE
TIME WHERE A QUEEN WAS LAUNCHING
00:35:21.70\00:35:29.93
- I THINK A BRITISH SUBMARINE OR
OCEAN LINER - I'M NOT SURE WHAT
00:35:29.93\00:35:32.43
IT WAS AND SHE WHACKED
THIS BOTTLE OF CHAMPAGNE AND IT
00:35:32.43\00:35:35.16
DIDN'T BREAK.
ANY OF YOU SEE THAT?
00:35:35.16\00:35:38.46
THEN SHE HIT IT
AGAIN AND IT DIDN'T BREAK.
00:35:38.46\00:35:40.43
THEN FINALLY
SOMEONE I THINK, HELPED HER
00:35:40.43\00:35:41.86
WITH IT AND IT SMASHED
EVERYWHERE, BUT - SO THERE WAS
00:35:41.86\00:35:44.33
LIKE A CHRISTENING EXCEPT
GOD DOESN'T USE CHAMPAGNE.
00:35:44.33\00:35:48.76
THE ARTICLES IN THE SANCTUARY
WERE INAUGURATED WITH THE BLOOD
00:35:48.76\00:35:52.53
OF A SACRIFICE, SHOWING
THEY WERE SET ASIDE FOR A HOLY
00:35:52.53\00:35:56.00
PURPOSE. NOW WHAT
I'M SAYING TO YOU - I'M
00:35:56.00\00:35:57.33
BELABORING THIS BECAUSE
THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT POINT.
00:35:57.33\00:36:02.13
OUR CHURCH, IN PARTICULAR,
WE BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS
00:36:02.13\00:36:05.63
MINISTERING AS OUR HIGH PRIEST
IN THE HEAVENLY SANCTUARY,
00:36:05.63\00:36:08.60
RIGHT? AND THAT
SOMETHING UNIQUE BEGAN IN 1844.
00:36:08.60\00:36:15.00
NOW, I EVEN WAS TALKING WITH A
FRIEND - SOME OF YOU HAVE HEARD
00:36:15.00\00:36:18.20
OF THE PASTOR - THE MOODY BIBLE
CHURCH - ERWIN LUTZER - I WAS
00:36:18.20\00:36:20.83
WITH HIM THIS WEEK AND WE HAD
A LITTLE STUDY IN THE SUPREME
00:36:20.83\00:36:23.20
COURT, OF ALL PLACES, ON
THE SABBATH AND THE STATE OF THE
00:36:23.20\00:36:26.16
DEAD. WE WERE TALKING
ABOUT A NUMBER OF THINGS.
00:36:26.16\00:36:28.70
BUT THEY TAKE ISSUE WITH THE
IDEA THAT WE THINK THAT THERE'S
00:36:28.70\00:36:33.83
A JUDGMENT PRIOR
TO CHRIST'S COMING.
00:36:33.83\00:36:36.06
IT IS SO SIMPLE FOR ME THAT IF
JESUS SAYS, 'BEHOLD I COME AND
00:36:36.06\00:36:40.66
MY REWARD IS WITH ME TO GIVE
TO EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS
00:36:40.66\00:36:43.70
WORKS' SOME JUDGMENT TAKES PLACE
BEFORE HE COMES IF HE KNOWS WHAT
00:36:43.70\00:36:49.30
REWARDS ARE GIVEN
WHEN HE DOES COME.
00:36:49.30\00:36:50.90
SO THAT SHOULDN'T
BE DIFFICULT, OKAY?
00:36:50.90\00:36:52.60
THERE'S SOME
PRE-ADVENT JUDGMENT.
00:36:52.60\00:36:54.70
AND IF THERE ARE SEVEN AGES OF
THE CHURCH - AND MANY RELIGIONS
00:36:54.70\00:36:57.86
BELIEVE THAT - REVELATION THE
SEVEN CHURCHES - THE SEVEN AGES
00:36:57.86\00:37:00.83
OF THE CHURCH. ARE YOU WITH
ME? THAT WE WOULD BE IN THE LAST
00:37:00.83\00:37:04.10
STAGE OF THE CHURCH NOW, WHICH
IS KNOWN AS LAODICEA, WHICH
00:37:04.10\00:37:07.33
MEANS 'A JUDGING OF THE
PEOPLE' OR 'A PEOPLE BEING
00:37:07.33\00:37:10.76
JUDGED' AND THAT
TIME PERIOD BEGAN IN 1844.
00:37:10.76\00:37:16.40
AND THERE'S ANOTHER WHOLE STUDY
ON THAT WE'LL GET INTO LATER.
00:37:16.40\00:37:19.76
BUT THE REASON I'M SAYING THAT
IS CHRIST DID ASCEND INTO THE
00:37:19.76\00:37:24.53
HOLY OF HOLIES RIGHT AFTER HIS
SACRIFICE TO ACTIVATE - TO PLEAD
00:37:24.53\00:37:30.46
HIS BLOOD - THAT HIS SACRIFICE
WAS ACCEPTABLE AND THE HEAVENLY
00:37:30.46\00:37:35.96
TEMPLE - WHAT WAS BEING OFFERED
IN THE HEAVENLY TEMPLE IN THE
00:37:35.96\00:37:39.26
OLD TESTAMENT BEFORE
JESUS DIED? IF THERE'S NO BLOOD,
00:37:39.26\00:37:42.26
WHAT DO YOU OFFER?
THAT HEAVENLY TEMPLE WASN'T
00:37:42.26\00:37:44.96
REALLY ACTIVATED IN THAT
SENSE UNTIL CHRIST PRESENTED
00:37:44.96\00:37:47.96
HIS BLOOD. SO HE ASCENDED
AND DID THAT WORK THAT MOSES DID
00:37:47.96\00:37:52.26
TO QUICKLY ACTIVATE IT
AND THEN HE BEGAN HIS WORK AS
00:37:52.26\00:37:55.26
OUR HIGH PRIEST WITH
THE DAILY SACRIFICES.
00:37:55.26\00:37:57.50
AND, OF COURSE, THAT'S ALL
SYMBOLIC OF THINGS HAPPENING
00:37:57.50\00:37:59.30
HERE ON EARTH WHICH IS, AGAIN,
I'M TRYING NOT TO GET INTO THAT
00:37:59.30\00:38:02.66
STUDY. BACK TO
HOLINESS. WHAT DOES HOLY MEAN?
00:38:02.66\00:38:09.80
'BELONGING TO OR DERIVED FROM OR
ASSOCIATED WITH A DIVINE POWER;
00:38:09.80\00:38:14.26
SOMETHING SACRED' - THE BIBLE
SAYS, 'BE YE HOLY' - 'REGARDED
00:38:14.26\00:38:18.96
AS WORTHY OF WORSHIP OR
VENERATION; TO BE REVERED AS IN
00:38:18.96\00:38:22.46
A HOLY BOOK OR HOLY PLACE;
LIVING ACCORDING TO A STRICT OR
00:38:22.46\00:38:27.36
HIGH MORAL, RELIGIOUS, OR
SPIRITUAL SYSTEM; SAINTLY, AS IN
00:38:27.36\00:38:31.50
A HOLY PERSON; SPECIFIED OR SET
APART FOR RELIGIOUS PURPOSE; A
00:38:31.50\00:38:37.33
HOLY PLACE; SOLEMNLY UNDERTAKEN;
SACROSANCT; A HOLY PLEDGE;
00:38:37.33\00:38:43.23
REGARDED OR DESERVING SPECIAL
RESPECT OR REFERENCE; A HOLY
00:38:43.23\00:38:48.00
QUEST' - IT'S NOT JUST
THAT YOU'RE GOING TO THE MARKET,
00:38:48.00\00:38:50.90
YOU'RE ON A HOLY PILGRIMAGE.
ALRIGHT, WHAT WAS ON THE BROW OF
00:38:50.90\00:38:58.26
THE HIGH PRIEST? HE HAD A CROWN.
00:38:58.26\00:39:02.36
AND WHAT DID IT
SAY ON THAT CROWN?
00:39:02.36\00:39:04.40
'HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD.'
DOES THAT REPRESENT THAT ALL OF
00:39:04.40\00:39:08.33
US, IN THAT SPIRITUAL
PRECEPT, ARE TO LIVE HOLY LIVES?
00:39:08.33\00:39:12.46
WHAT WAS ABOVE THE HEAD OF
THE WOMAN IN REVELATION 17?
00:39:12.46\00:39:17.40
YOU NOTICE IN THE FOREHEAD - IN
THE BIBLE A LOT OF THINGS IN THE
00:39:17.40\00:39:19.63
FOREHEAD - THOSE WHO
ARE SAVED, WHAT DO THEY HAVE
00:39:19.63\00:39:24.00
IN THE FOREHEAD?
00:39:24.00\00:39:25.76
THE SEAL OF GOD AND THAT'S
A SYMBOL FOR HOLINESS UNTO THE
00:39:25.76\00:39:29.50
LORD AND THE SABBATH IS PART
OF THAT BECAUSE WHERE IN THE TEN
00:39:29.50\00:39:33.70
COMMANDMENTS DOES THE
WORD 'HOLY' APPEAR ONE TIME?
00:39:33.70\00:39:37.10
ONLY IN THE SABBATH
COMMANDMENT DOES IT APPEAR.
00:39:37.10\00:39:39.73
THAT'S
INTERESTING. JUST A FOOTNOTE.
00:39:39.73\00:39:42.53
REVELATION 17, WHAT DOES
SHE HAVE ON HER FOREHEAD?
00:39:42.53\00:39:45.56
THE ANTITHESIS OF HOLINESS -
'BABYLON THE GREAT THE MOTHER OF
00:39:45.56\00:39:50.86
HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF
THE EARTH' - IT'S TALKING ABOUT
00:39:50.86\00:39:53.66
FILTH AND HARLOTRY, IMMORALITY -
IT'S THE OPPOSITE OF - BUT IT'S
00:39:53.66\00:39:57.90
A RELIGIOUS
INSTITUTION. VERY INTERESTING.
00:39:57.90\00:40:00.76
SO YOU'VE GOT GOD'S
RELIGIOUS INSTITUTION
00:40:00.76\00:40:02.83
AND THE HIGH PRIEST -
HE'S A TYPE OF CHRIST - HOLY
00:40:02.83\00:40:04.70
LIFE JESUS LIVED, AND THEN
YOU'VE GOT THE DEVIL'S CHURCH
00:40:04.70\00:40:08.33
AND IT'S THE OPPOSITE
OF THAT. IT'S UNHOLINESS.
00:40:08.33\00:40:11.53
SO, YOU KNOW,
WE'RE TOLD TO BE HOLY.
00:40:11.53\00:40:14.23
I'LL JUST GIVE YOU A
COUPLE MORE VERSES ON THIS.
00:40:14.23\00:40:15.80
SOMEONE LOOK UP
EPHESIANS 4, VERSE 24.
00:40:15.80\00:40:18.56
WE'VE GOT A HAND -
RICHARD'S GOT THAT.
00:40:18.56\00:40:20.50
GO AHEAD, RAY, YOU CAN
PASS HIM THE MICROPHONE.
00:40:20.50\00:40:25.76
AN1 THESSALONIANS 3:13 - NOW,G
THESE ARE JUST GOOD VERSES FOR
00:40:25.76\00:40:28.53
YOU TO REMEMBER THAT GOD
IS CALLING US TO HOLINESS.
00:40:28.53\00:40:31.50
AND YOU KNOW WHY I'M
SPENDING MORE TIME ON THIS?
00:40:31.50\00:40:36.13
BECAUSE OF THE - AND I BELIEVE
THAT GRACE - IT'S IMPORTANT TO
00:40:36.13\00:40:39.66
EMPHASIZE GRACE -
THAT WE ARE SAVED BY GRACE.
00:40:39.66\00:40:43.33
BUT I THINK THAT SOMETIMES,
WHILE WE EMPHASIZE THAT WE ARE
00:40:43.33\00:40:46.66
SAVED BY GRACE, WE FORGET THAT
GOD ALSO EXPECTS US AND EMPOWERS
00:40:46.66\00:40:49.83
US TO LIVE HOLY LIVES. WE
ARE CALLED - WE ARE COMMANDED
00:40:49.83\00:40:54.03
TO BE HOLY AND THAT
MEANS TURNING FROM SIN.
00:40:54.03\00:40:57.50
ALRIGHT, SO 1 THESSALONIANS
3:13, "SO THAT HE MAY ESTABLISH
00:40:57.50\00:41:01.86
YOUR HEARTS BLAMELESS IN
HOLINESS BEFORE OUR GOD AND
00:41:01.86\00:41:06.16
FATHER AT THE COMING OF OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST WITH ALL HIS
00:41:06.16\00:41:08.63
SAINTS." - SAINTS MEANS
HOLY ONES - THEY'RE ANGELS.
00:41:08.63\00:41:12.00
1 THESSALONIANS 4:7 AND 8,
"FOR GOD DID NOT CALL US TO
00:41:12.00\00:41:16.00
UNCLEANNESS, BUT IN HOLINESS.
00:41:16.00\00:41:18.73
THEREFORE HE WHO REJECTS THIS
DOES NOT REJECT MAN, BUT GOD,
00:41:18.73\00:41:22.23
WHO HAS ALSO GIVEN
US HIS HOLY SPIRIT."
00:41:22.23\00:41:24.36
YOUR BODY IS A TEMPLE OF THE
HOLY SPIRIT AND HE WANTS US TO
00:41:24.36\00:41:27.33
BE LIVING HOLY LIVES THAT
THEY MIGHT BE HOLY VESSELS.
00:41:27.33\00:41:30.80
IT'S ALL THROUGH THE
BIBLE GOD CALLS US TO HOLINESS.
00:41:30.80\00:41:32.90
AND THIS IS ALL IN KEEPING
WITH THE SANCTUARY. ALRIGHT,
00:41:32.90\00:41:35.96
WHO WAS GOING TO READ FOR
US EPHESIANS 4:24? RICHARD.
00:41:35.96\00:41:40.83
>>EPHESIANS 4:24, "AND THAT
YOU PUT ON THE NEW MAN WHICH WAS
00:41:40.83\00:41:45.66
CREATED ACCORDING TO
GOD, IN TRUE RIGHTEOUSNESS AND
00:41:45.66\00:41:49.06
HOLINESS." >>SO
WE'RE NEW CREATURES.
00:41:49.06\00:41:52.03
WHAT KIND OF NEW
MAN - NEW CREATURE?
00:41:52.03\00:41:53.56
CREATED IN HOLINESS -
DIFFERENT KIND OF LIVES.
00:41:53.56\00:41:56.80
NOT ACCORDING TO OUR
FORMER CONDUCT BUT NEW CONDUCT.
00:41:56.80\00:42:00.90
HEBREWS 12, VERSE 14 - IF
YOU FORGET ALL THE OTHER VERSES
00:42:00.90\00:42:04.13
REMEMBER THIS ONE - "PURSUE
PEACE WITH ALL PEOPLE, AND
00:42:04.13\00:42:09.36
HOLINESS," - PURSUE MEANS 'LOOK
FOR; LONG FOR; STRIVE FOR' -
00:42:09.36\00:42:17.13
I WANT TO SEE THE LORD AND HIS
BEAUTY WITHOUT HOLINESS - NO.
00:42:17.13\00:42:20.80
BLESSED ARE THE PURE IN
HEART FOR THEY WILL WHAT?
00:42:20.80\00:42:23.46
SEE GOD. ISN'T
THAT WHAT JESUS TAUGHT?
00:42:23.46\00:42:27.10
WILL GOD ASK YOU TO DO
SOMETHING YOU CAN'T DO?
00:42:27.10\00:42:29.66
WILL GOD ASK YOU TO BE
SOMETHING YOU CAN'T BE?
00:42:29.66\00:42:32.70
IF GOD SAYS, 'BE YE HOLY' - WHEN
GOD SAID, 'LET THERE BE LIGHT'
00:42:32.70\00:42:36.40
DID LIGHT HAPPEN? SO
WHEN GOD SAYS 'BE HOLY' -
00:42:36.40\00:42:40.86
THROUGH FAITH IN HIS WORD CAN
YOU BE A NEW CREATURE? YOU CAN.
00:42:40.86\00:42:45.23
IF YOU'VE FAILED BEFORE,
KEEP BELIEVING YOU CAN. YOU CAN.
00:42:45.23\00:42:48.60
AND THEN PETER QUOTES LEVITICUS
WHEN HE SAYS IN 1 PETER 1,
00:42:48.60\00:42:53.56
VERSES 14 TO 16, "AS OBEDIENT
CHILDREN, NOT CONFORMING
00:42:53.56\00:42:57.43
YOURSELVES TO THE FORMER LUSTS,
AS IN YOUR IGNORANCE; BUT AS HE
00:42:57.43\00:43:01.10
WHO CALLED YOU IS HOLY, YOU ALSO
BE HOLY IN ALL YOUR CONDUCT,
00:43:01.10\00:43:06.00
BECAUSE IT IS WRITTEN,
'BE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY.'"
00:43:06.00\00:43:11.16
PEOPLE - SINCE YOU ASKED, I'LL
TELL YOU WHY - SOME PEOPLE SAY,
00:43:11.16\00:43:14.66
'YES, WE GET A GIFT OF HOLINESS
- THROUGH JUSTIFICATION THE LORD
00:43:14.66\00:43:17.83
COVERS US WITH HOLINESS AND WE
MAY NOT LIVE AND ACT LIKE WE'RE
00:43:17.83\00:43:21.36
HOLY BUT WE GET IT SORT OF, YOU
KNOW, IT'S A VICARIOUS HOLINESS
00:43:21.36\00:43:25.20
WE RECEIVE BY FAITH. IT'S A
PHILOSOPHICAL PHANTOM HOLINESS.
00:43:25.20\00:43:31.10
WE MAY NOT ACT IT BUT WE
GET CREDIT' - WELL YOU DO WHEN
00:43:31.10\00:43:35.26
YOU'RE JUSTIFIED, BUT THEN YOU
MOVE ON TO SANCTIFICATION AND
00:43:35.26\00:43:37.86
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO
CONDUCT YOURSELF IN HOLINESS.
00:43:37.86\00:43:40.46
YOU NOTICE IN THAT VERSE
IT'S NOT TALKING ABOUT JUST IN
00:43:40.46\00:43:42.23
THEORY, IT'S TALKING ABOUT
IN BEHAVIOR WE'RE TO BE HOLY.
00:43:42.23\00:43:46.80
IS THAT CLEAR? THE DIFFERENCE
THAT WE'RE MAKING HERE?
00:43:46.80\00:43:49.73
BECAUSE I RUN
INTO THAT ALL THE TIME.
00:43:49.73\00:43:51.23
'OH, WE CAN'T REALLY BE HOLY,
IT'S JUST SORT OF - IT'S THE
00:43:51.23\00:43:53.70
PHANTOM HOLINESS THAT WE
GET FROM JESUS' SACRIFICE ON OUR
00:43:53.70\00:43:56.60
BEHALF.' WE GET
CREDIT FOR HIS HOLINESS
00:43:56.60\00:43:59.16
BUT SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY WE
NEED TO BRING IN SANCTIFICATION
00:43:59.16\00:44:02.20
WHERE OUR CONDUCT IS
HOLY, WHICH IS WHAT PETER SAID.
00:44:02.20\00:44:06.26
NOT WALKING AFTER
YOUR FORMER BEHAVIOR.
00:44:06.26\00:44:08.90
ALRIGHT,
'INSTRUMENTS OF THE SANCTUARY'.
00:44:08.90\00:44:11.23
NOW THIS IS A VERSE I REFERRED
TO BEFORE BUT I'M GOING TO READ
00:44:11.23\00:44:15.06
NOW AND IT'S HEBREWS 9, VERSE
19, "FOR WHEN MOSES HAD SPOKEN"
00:44:15.06\00:44:21.76
- NOW WE'RE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT
- "FOR WHEN MOSES HAD SPOKEN
00:44:21.76\00:44:24.40
EVERY PRECEPT TO ALL THE PEOPLE
ACCORDING TO THE LAW, HE TOOK
00:44:24.40\00:44:27.46
THE BLOOD OF CALVES AND GOATS,
WITH WATER, SCARLET WOOL, AND
00:44:27.46\00:44:30.86
HYSSOP, AND SPRINKLED BOTH THE
BOOK ITSELF AND ALL THE PEOPLE,
00:44:30.86\00:44:34.73
SAYING, 'THIS IS THE BLOOD
OF THE COVENANT WHICH GOD HAS
00:44:34.73\00:44:37.33
COMMANDED YOU.' THEN
LIKEWISE HE SPRINKLED WITH
00:44:37.33\00:44:40.83
THE BLOOD BOTH THE
TABERNACLE AND ALL" - HOW MANY?
00:44:40.83\00:44:46.46
ALL THE UTENSILS. HE
WASN'T THE HIGH PRIEST AND
00:44:46.46\00:44:48.90
THIS WAS NOT THE DAY OF
ATONEMENT. ARE YOU WITH ME?
00:44:48.90\00:44:51.76
- "ALL THE
VESSELS OF THE MINISTRY.
00:44:51.76\00:44:56.96
AND ACCORDING TO THE LAW ALMOST
ALL THINGS ARE PURIFIED WITH
00:44:56.96\00:44:59.23
BLOOD, AND WITHOUT SHEDDING
OF BLOOD THERE IS NO REMISSION."
00:44:59.23\00:45:01.96
SO ALL THESE
THINGS WERE SET ASIDE.
00:45:01.96\00:45:04.00
WHAT MOSES DID IN THE EARTHLY
TEMPLE TO INAUGURATE IT, JESUS
00:45:04.00\00:45:07.80
DID IN THE HEAVENLY
TEMPLE FOLLOWING HIS SACRIFICE.
00:45:07.80\00:45:10.60
HE WENT INTO THE HOLY OF HOLIES,
THEN HE CAME BACK DOWN TO EARTH.
00:45:10.60\00:45:14.53
REMEMBER WHEN MARY WENT TO CLING
TO HIS FEET HE SAID, 'DO NOT
00:45:14.53\00:45:18.50
CLING TO ME' - I KNOW THE KING
JAMES SAYS 'DO NOT TOUCH ME' BUT
00:45:18.50\00:45:21.73
THAT'S PROBABLY
NOT A GOOD TRANSLATION.
00:45:21.73\00:45:24.33
SHE WAS GRABBING HIS FEET
AND KEEPING HIM FROM ASCENDING.
00:45:24.33\00:45:26.60
HE SAID, 'DO NOT CLING TO ME
FOR I'VE NOT YET ASCENDED TO MY
00:45:26.60\00:45:29.40
FATHER.' BUT HE
SAID, 'GO TELL MY
00:45:29.40\00:45:31.86
BRETHREN I ASCEND TO MY FATHER
YOUR FATHER, MY GOD YOUR GOD.'
00:45:31.86\00:45:34.53
SO HE ASCENDS, HE THEN IS
DECLARED VICTORIOUS - HE HASN'T
00:45:34.53\00:45:37.73
BEEN TO HEAVEN YET
FROM HIS SACRIFICE.
00:45:37.73\00:45:39.76
HE GOES BEFORE THE
FATHER INTO THE HOLY OF HOLIES.
00:45:39.76\00:45:42.26
HE PRESENTS HIS BLOOD. THE
ANGELS SING. HE IS DECLARED
00:45:42.26\00:45:48.03
VICTORIOUS - THAT HIS
SACRIFICE - HIS LIFE WAS
00:45:48.03\00:45:50.33
HOLY AND ACCEPTED. HE
THEN COMES DOWN TO EARTH AND
00:45:50.33\00:45:56.20
YROOM HE SAYS, 'ALL HAIL' AND
THEY GRAB HIM BY THE FEET AND
00:45:56.20\00:45:58.83
WORSHIP HIM AND HE DOESN'T
SAY DON'T TOUCH ME.' WHY?
00:45:58.83\00:46:02.43
BECAUSE SOMETHING'S HAPPENED.
00:46:02.43\00:46:03.93
HE HAS GONE UP AND PRESENTED HIS
BLOOD IN THE HEAVENLY SANCTUARY.
00:46:03.93\00:46:07.46
NOW YOU CAN READ ABOUT THIS
IN 'THE GREAT CONTROVERSY' AND
00:46:07.46\00:46:10.03
OTHER PLACES, BUT I'M
CONDENSING THAT TRUTH.
00:46:10.03\00:46:12.83
WHAT MOSES DID, JESUS DID.
00:46:12.83\00:46:15.06
NOW YOU'VE GOT THE
DIFFERENT IMPLEMENTS, OF COURSE.
00:46:15.06\00:46:19.66
YOU'VE GOT THE ALTAR, THE LAVER,
THERE'S A DOOR, THERE'S A LAMP,
00:46:19.66\00:46:24.80
THERE'S A TABLE OF BREAD, AN
ALTAR OF INCENSE, AND THE ARK OF
00:46:24.80\00:46:27.63
THE COVENANT. ALL
THESE THINGS IN THE ARTICLES
00:46:27.63\00:46:30.46
OF FURNITURE ARE
TELLING US ABOUT JESUS.
00:46:30.46\00:46:33.16
REMEMBER THIS LESSON IS CALLED
'LESSONS FROM THE SANCTUARY AND
00:46:33.16\00:46:38.56
I - IN THE INTRODUCTION I THINK
I BRIEFLY TALKED ABOUT THESE.
00:46:38.56\00:46:41.53
THE ALTAR REPRESENTS THE CROSS.
00:46:41.53\00:46:43.63
THAT'S WHERE THE VICTIM
WAS - IT WENT THROUGH THE FIRE.
00:46:43.63\00:46:46.70
DID JESUS GO
THROUGH THE FIRE FOR US?
00:46:46.70\00:46:49.03
HE WAS SACRIFICED. THE LAVER
REPRESENTS WATER. JESUS SAID,
00:46:49.03\00:46:52.20
'I AM THE LIVING WATER' -
IT ALSO REPRESENTS BAPTISM.
00:46:52.20\00:46:55.16
AFTER THEY WASHED THEY THEN
ENTERED THE NEXT ROOM AND THAT'S
00:46:55.16\00:46:58.76
WHERE SANCTIFICATION TAKES
PLACE. JUSTIFICATION TAKES PLACE
00:46:58.76\00:47:01.96
IN THE COURTYARD, SANCTIFICATION
TAKES PLACE IN THE HOLY PLACE.
00:47:01.96\00:47:06.53
THERE WAS ONLY ONE DOOR -
JESUS SAID, 'I AM THE DOOR.'
00:47:06.53\00:47:09.36
YOU NEEDED A PRIEST -
JESUS SAID, 'I AM THE PRIEST.'
00:47:09.36\00:47:11.53
YOU NEEDED A LAMB -
JESUS SAID, 'I AM THE LAMB.'
00:47:11.53\00:47:14.36
YOU WENT IN THERE WAS A LIGHT
- JESUS SAID WHAT? 'I AM THE
00:47:14.36\00:47:17.70
LIGHT OF THE WORLD.' THERE
WAS BREAD - JESUS SAID WHAT?
00:47:17.70\00:47:21.40
'I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE.'
AND THEN THERE WERE PRAYERS THAT
00:47:21.40\00:47:24.96
WERE OFFERED ON THE ALTAR OF
INCENSE AND JESUS SAID WE ARE TO
00:47:24.96\00:47:28.86
PRAY IN HIS NAME - IT'S
THE ESSENCE OF HIS NAME.
00:47:28.86\00:47:31.63
AND THEN IN THE ARK OF THE
COVENANT THERE WAS ROCK - JESUS
00:47:31.63\00:47:35.80
SAID, 'HE THAT HEARS THESE WORDS
OF MINE' - ROCK WRITTEN WITH THE
00:47:35.80\00:47:38.46
FINGERS OF GOD, RIGHT?
00:47:38.46\00:47:40.73
THE WORD OF GOD WAS
IN THERE WRITTEN ON ROCK.
00:47:40.73\00:47:44.13
'HE THAT HEARS THESE WORDS
OF MINE AND DOES THEM IS LIKE A
00:47:44.13\00:47:46.20
WISE MAN BUILDING
HIS HOUSE ON THE ROCK.'
00:47:46.20\00:47:48.96
AND SO CHRIST IS THE ROCK OF
AGES UPON - HE IS THE ROCK THAT
00:47:48.96\00:47:52.66
BROUGHT DOWN GOLIATH. HE
IS THE ROCK THAT BRINGS DOWN
00:47:52.66\00:47:54.86
THE IDOL IN DANIEL
TWO - JESUS IS THAT ROCK.
00:47:54.86\00:47:57.40
SO EVERYTHING ABOUT THE
SANCTUARY AND ALL OF ITS
00:47:57.40\00:48:00.30
FURNITURE IS TELLING US
SOMETHING ABOUT GOD, OKAY?
00:48:00.30\00:48:07.06
THE CENTER OF DIVINE
AND COMMUNAL ACTIVITY.
00:48:07.06\00:48:10.73
NOW EVERYTHING I'M ABOUT TO
SHARE WITH YOU ABOUT - I THINK
00:48:10.73\00:48:14.96
VIRTUALLY ALL OF THESE VERSES
ARE BASED UPON THE DEDICATION
00:48:14.96\00:48:18.56
PRAYER OF SOLOMON WHEN
HE BUILT THE EARTHLY TEMPLE.
00:48:18.56\00:48:21.53
THIS WAS THE APEX - THE REAL
CLIMAX - THE PINNACLE OF THE
00:48:21.53\00:48:25.03
HISTORY OF THE TEMPLE IS WHEN
SOLOMON FINALLY - THE SON OF
00:48:25.03\00:48:28.16
DAVID - JESUS IS THE SON OF
DAVID - DEDICATES THE HOUSE OF
00:48:28.16\00:48:31.86
THE LORD. IT WAS THE MOST
GLORIOUS BUILDING. IT'S TOO BAD
00:48:31.86\00:48:35.86
THAT THE HISTORIAN HERODOTUS HAD
NEVER SEEN IT BECAUSE HE WOULD
00:48:35.86\00:48:41.46
HFILLED WITH GOLD - IT WAS
ENORMOUS IN ITS SCALE - GREAT
00:48:41.46\00:48:46.00
BIG BRONZE PILLARS, I MEAN,
IT WAS VERY MAJESTIC. AND HERE,
00:48:46.00\00:48:50.53
IN THE DEDICATION PRAYER OF
SOLOMON THAT IS A SPIRIT-FILLED
00:48:50.53\00:48:53.93
PRAYER, HE TALKS ABOUT
THE PURPOSE OF THIS PLACE
00:48:53.93\00:48:57.10
OF WORSHIP. AND I'LL
JUST GO THROUGH THESE -
00:48:57.10\00:49:00.83
THESE ARE IN YOUR LESSON.
THE TEMPLE WAS A PLACE FOR
00:49:00.83\00:49:03.63
SEEKING FORGIVENESS. YOU
FIND THAT IN HIS PRAYER IN
00:49:03.63\00:49:06.06
VERSE 30. IF THEY
SINNED THEY WOULD COME
00:49:06.06\00:49:08.50
TO THIS PLACE AND
OFFER THEIR SACRIFICES, OKAY?
00:49:08.50\00:49:13.10
IT'S A PLACE WHERE THEY WOULD
COME AND MAKE THEIR VOWS AND
00:49:13.10\00:49:16.30
THEIR OATHS IN THE PRESENCE OF
GOD. CAN YOU THINK OF SOMEBODY
00:49:16.30\00:49:20.23
WHO CAME TO THE TABERNACLE
AND MADE A VOW OR AN OATH IN THE
00:49:20.23\00:49:23.30
BIBLE? HOW MANY
OF YOU REMEMBER WHERE
00:49:23.30\00:49:28.53
HANNAH WAS PRAYING AND SHE MADE
A PROMISE THAT, 'LORD, IF YOU'LL
00:49:28.53\00:49:32.96
AND WHERE DID SHE GO TO DO THAT?
THE HIGH PRIEST WAS RIGHT THERE.
00:49:36.40\00:49:39.80
AT FIRST HE THOUGHT SHE WAS
DRUNK BECAUSE SHE WAS SWAYING
00:49:39.80\00:49:41.66
BACK AND FORTH AND SHE WAS SO,
YOU KNOW, HEARTBROKEN - SO MUCH
00:49:41.66\00:49:45.10
GRIEF THAT HE
THOUGHT SHE WAS INTOXICATED.
00:49:45.10\00:49:47.53
BUT SHE PRAYED AND HE SAID, 'OH,
SO SORRY I MISUNDERSTOOD YOU.
00:49:47.53\00:49:50.50
YOUR PRAYER WILL BE
ANSWERED.' SHE BELIEVED HIM.
00:49:50.50\00:49:53.23
SOMETIMES PASTORS SAY THINGS
AND PEOPLE BELIEVE AND THEY'RE
00:49:53.23\00:49:56.80
BLESSED BECAUSE THEY HAVE FAITH
- PASTOR DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT
00:49:56.80\00:49:58.20
HE SAID. ISN'T
THAT RIGHT? IT'S TRUE.
00:49:58.20\00:50:03.36
YOU KNOW, THE HIGH PRIEST,
DURING CHRIST'S TIME, HE SAID,
00:50:03.36\00:50:07.10
'DO YOU KNOW NOTHING AT ALL BUT
THAT IT'S EXPEDIENT THAT ONE MAN
00:50:07.10\00:50:09.93
SHOULD PERISH TO
SAVE THE NATION?'
00:50:09.93\00:50:12.10
AND JOHN, IN HIS COMMENTARY
ON THAT, HE SAYS, 'BEING HIGH
00:50:12.10\00:50:15.26
PRIEST HE DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE
THAT HE HAD UTTERED A PROPHECY.'
00:50:15.26\00:50:18.23
HE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT. BUT
ANYWAY, IT WAS A PLACE WHERE
00:50:18.23\00:50:22.23
THEY WOULD MAKE THEIR VOWS.
ONE REASON IS THEY'RE KIND OF
00:50:22.23\00:50:25.86
RECORDED THERE AND PEOPLE - GOD
WANTED PEOPLE TO REMEMBER 'YOU
00:50:25.86\00:50:31.60
SAID THISPROMISES.' YOU
SEE, WHEN THEY WERE BEATEN
00:50:31.60\00:50:34.30
BY THEIR ENEMIES THEY WOULD COME
AND PLEAD FOR VICTORY AT THE
00:50:34.30\00:50:37.80
SANCTUARY. YOU
FIND THEY ALL GATHERED
00:50:37.80\00:50:40.80
BEFORE THE TEMPLE - OH, I WON'T
TELL YOU. LET'S SEE IF YOU KNOW.
00:50:40.80\00:50:43.90
WHEN'S A TIME WHEN THE KING
AND PEOPLE GATHERED BEFORE THE
00:50:43.90\00:50:47.70
SANCTUARY BECAUSE OF EITHER
A LOOMING BATTLE OR A DEFEAT.
00:50:47.70\00:50:54.00
HEZEKIAH IS ONE EXAMPLE,
WHEN THE - RABSHAKEH AND THE
00:50:54.00\00:50:56.50
ASSYRIANS CAME TO ATTACK.
REMEMBER WHEN JEHOSHAPHAT -
00:50:56.50\00:51:00.70
AN ARMY WAS GATHERED AGAINST
JEHOSHAPHAT AND THEY GATHERED IN
00:51:00.70\00:51:03.26
THE COURTYARD AND THEY PRAYED
AND PLEAD BEFORE THE LORD?
00:51:03.26\00:51:05.83
DID HE GIVE THEM
VICTORY? BOTH TIMES, OKAY.
00:51:05.83\00:51:09.03
THEY WOULD PLEAD FOR RAIN AND
FOR NATURAL BLESSINGS AND I'LL
00:51:09.03\00:51:15.00
BE TALKING ABOUT THAT DURING THE
SERMON ON ELIJAH A LITTLE LATER,
00:51:15.00\00:51:17.80
BUT THIS WAS A PLACE WHERE
THEY WOULD COME AND PRAY FOR THE
00:51:17.80\00:51:21.83
BOUNTIES OF HEAVEN AND REPENT
OF THEIR SINS BECAUSE SOMETIMES
00:51:21.83\00:51:24.90
THEIR BAD BEHAVIOR
AFFECTED THE WEATHER.
00:51:24.90\00:51:27.33
IT WAS A PLACE FOR THE ALIEN
TO PRAY, NOT JUST THE CHURCH
00:51:27.33\00:51:31.33
MEMBERS, AND THAT'S WHY - BY THE
WAY, YOU FIND THAT IN ISAIAH AND
00:51:31.33\00:51:37.30
IT SAYS IT'S TO BE A HOUSE OF
PRAYER TO ALL PEOPLE AND IT WAS
00:51:37.30\00:51:41.06
- THAT'S IN ISAIAH 56, VERSE
7. A PLACE TO PETITION GOD FOR
00:51:41.06\00:51:45.16
VICTORY - VERSES 44 AND 45.
SO IT TELLS ABOUT THE DIFFERENT
00:51:45.16\00:51:47.93
THINGS. IT WAS A
CENTER FOR WORSHIP.
00:51:47.93\00:51:50.10
OH, AND YOU KNOW
SOMETHING'S NOT IN HERE.
00:51:50.10\00:51:52.70
WHERE WERE THE KINGS SOMETIMES
CORONATED ONCE THE TEMPLE WAS
00:51:52.70\00:51:56.00
BUILT? WHERE WAS JOASH
PRONOUNCED KING? WASN'T IT
00:51:56.00\00:51:59.80
STANDING BY THE PILLAR IN THE
TEMPLE OF THE LORD? AND SO IT
00:51:59.80\00:52:05.33
WAS SORT OF THE CENTER OF THEIR
DIVINE AND COMMUNAL ACTIVITY.
00:52:05.33\00:52:09.03
AND THEN THE LAST PART - AND I'M
RUNNING OUT OF TIME HERE - IS
00:52:09.03\00:52:13.33
WHERE IT SAYS, 'UNTIL I
WENT INTO THE SANCTUARY OF GOD.'
00:52:13.33\00:52:16.63
PSALM 27, VERSE 4, "ONE THING
I HAVE DESIRED OF THE LORD, THAT
00:52:16.63\00:52:22.43
WILL I SEEK: THAT I MAY DWELL
IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD ALL THE
00:52:22.43\00:52:25.93
DAYS OF MY LIFE, TO BEHOLD
THE BEAUTY OF THE LORD, AND TO
00:52:25.93\00:52:30.16
INQUIRE IN HIS TEMPLE."
TO BE ABLE TO COME INTO THE
00:52:30.16\00:52:33.90
PRESENCE OF GOD
AND TALK TO THE LORD.
00:52:33.90\00:52:35.93
NOW DID I GIVE
SOMEBODY PSALM 23, VERSE 6?
00:52:35.93\00:52:39.13
YOU GOT IT RIGHT HERE?
LET'S GET YOU A MICROPHONE.
00:52:39.13\00:52:41.16
WE'RE GOING TO LET
YOU HAVE THE LAST WORD.
00:52:41.16\00:52:43.23
ALRIGHT, GO AHEAD.
00:52:43.23\00:52:45.76
>>PSALM 23, VERSE 6, "SURELY
GOODNESS AND MERCY SHALL FOLLOW
00:52:45.76\00:52:50.06
ME ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE; AND
I WILL DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF THE
00:52:50.06\00:52:52.96
LORD FOREVER."
>>THAT FAMOUS PSALM.
00:52:52.96\00:52:55.23
WHAT ARE THE
CLOSING WORDS? PSALM 23?
00:52:55.23\00:52:59.30
'GOODNESS AND MERCY ALL THE DAYS
OF MY LIFE...DWELL IN THE HOUSE
00:52:59.30\00:53:01.90
OF THE LORD' -
FOR HOW LONG? FOREVER.
00:53:01.90\00:53:04.93
AND THAT'S GOING TO BE - WHY?
BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO BE IN
00:53:04.93\00:53:06.76
THE PRESENCE OF GOD FOREVER.
WE'VE BEEN SEPARATED BY SIN.
00:53:06.76\00:53:09.76
JESUS WANTS TO ABIDE
WITH US, HE SAID, RIGHT?
00:53:09.76\00:53:13.16
AND SO, EVEN IN HEAVEN,
THAT'LL BE THE PRESENCE OF GOD.
00:53:13.16\00:53:16.33
GOD HIMSELF WILL BE WITH
US. FOR HOW LONG? (FOREVER)
00:53:16.33\00:53:19.86
THAT'S A
WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL TRUTH.
00:53:19.86\00:53:21.50
WELL, WE'RE OUT OF TIME WITH
THAT BUT I WANT TO REMIND OUR
00:53:21.50\00:53:23.16

>>IN SIX DAYS GOD CREATED
THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH.
00:53:46.10\00:53:50.66
FOR THOUSANDS OF
YEARS MAN HAS WORSHIPED GOD
00:53:50.66\00:53:53.56
ON THE SEVENTH DAY OF THE WEEK.
NOW, EACH WEEK, MILLIONS OF
00:53:53.56\00:53:57.36
PEOPLE WORSHIP ON THE
FIRST DAY. WHAT HAPPENED?
00:53:57.36\00:54:01.16
WHY DID GOD
CREATE A DAY OF REST?
00:54:01.16\00:54:03.50
DOES IT REALLY
MATTER WHAT DAY WE WORSHIP?
