Hello there. Happy Sabbath.
00:00:01.36\00:00:03.47
Come on in. We're
about to meet with the King.
00:00:03.50\00:00:06.74
¤ ¤
00:00:06.77\00:00:52.75
Hello, I'm Auntie Nat. It's
great that you could all join us
00:00:52.78\00:00:55.18
to meet with the King. We're
about to open the Sabbath. Come
00:00:55.22\00:00:57.59
and join our worship time
00:00:57.62\00:00:58.95
together. Auntie Cecily it's so
00:00:58.99\00:01:01.09
good that you're
here with us today.
00:01:01.12\00:01:02.72
I'm delighted to
be here Auntie Nat.
00:01:02.76\00:01:04.29
And hello children. It's
wonderful that you're here with
00:01:04.33\00:01:08.00
us to help us welcome in the
King for the Sabbath. And hello
00:01:08.03\00:01:11.23
Teddy. It's lovely that you've
joined us again today. You're
00:01:11.27\00:01:14.40
so good.
00:01:14.44\00:01:15.77
Yes he is.
00:01:15.80\00:01:17.14
Oh. Auntie Cecily can you
say a prayer for us to open our
00:01:17.17\00:01:19.37
worship time.
00:01:19.41\00:01:21.31
Yes. Dear heavenly Father, thank
you for keeping us safe through
00:01:21.34\00:01:25.01
another week. And thank you for
the Sabbath where we can rest
00:01:25.05\00:01:28.68
in You. And we pray a blessing
on all the boys and girls who
00:01:28.72\00:01:32.32
have joined us.
In Jesus' name. Amen.
00:01:32.35\00:01:35.92
Amen. Do you know that this is
a great time to reflect on our
00:01:35.96\00:01:39.86
week and count the many
blessings God has sent us.
00:01:39.89\00:01:42.56
And Ella, you have a
blessing to share with us.
00:01:42.63\00:01:45.23
I'm thankful to God that when
I broke my arm it didn't break
00:01:45.30\00:01:50.34
severely.
00:01:50.37\00:01:52.87
It didn't break all the way
through did it? Yeah, it was a
00:01:52.94\00:01:54.68
greenstick so it healed a lot
quicker and you didn't need an
00:01:54.71\00:01:58.18
operation. Yeah so that was
a good blessing wasn't it. Okay
00:01:58.21\00:02:01.45
thanks. Auntie Cecily, you have
a blessing to share with us too
00:02:01.48\00:02:04.69
about our amazing God.
00:02:04.72\00:02:07.56
Yes. We've been on quite a
journey these past 13 Sabbaths
00:02:07.59\00:02:11.63
getting to know who God is.
We found out that God is our
00:02:11.66\00:02:16.70
Deliverer. God is holy. God
is the I Am. He is compassionate
00:02:16.73\00:02:21.54
or caring and God is love and He
is our Provider. And He's a God
00:02:21.57\00:02:26.34
of order and a God of mercy
and He's sacrificial. God is
00:02:26.37\00:02:31.28
also our Creator. He's long-
suffering and He's trustworthy.
00:02:31.31\00:02:36.22
Today is special because
I'm going to add two more. God
00:02:36.25\00:02:42.79
keeps His promises and God can
be our very best friend. Later
00:02:42.82\00:02:46.93
on in our study we're going
to see how God kept His promise
00:02:46.96\00:02:51.13
to the children of Israel.
The Bible tells us that God is
00:02:51.20\00:02:56.44
faithful in keeping His promises
We can trust in God's word.
00:02:56.47\00:03:02.08
Matthew 24 tells us that God's
words will never pass away. If
00:03:02.11\00:03:07.72
God promises, He will deliver.
We've also discovered in
00:03:07.75\00:03:12.12
previous Bible studies that
Abraham was a friend of God.
00:03:12.15\00:03:16.46
We've been studying that Moses
also had a special relationship
00:03:16.52\00:03:21.06
with God. God spoke to Moses
face to face like a friend.
00:03:21.10\00:03:27.14
John 15 tells us that Jesus
wants to be our friend as well.
00:03:27.17\00:03:32.37
Jesus promises that if we keep
His commandments, He will call
00:03:32.44\00:03:38.05
us His friend. When we get to
know God and who He is and what
00:03:38.11\00:03:43.62
He's done for us, it draws us
closer to Him. We've learnt many
00:03:43.65\00:03:49.12
things about God but the
one thing I want you to remember
00:03:49.16\00:03:53.23
most of all is that God who's
the King of the Universe and
00:03:53.26\00:03:57.27
angels worship Him day and night
in adoration and praise and it's
00:03:57.30\00:04:03.74
lovely mystery that He also
wants to be your best friend.
00:04:03.77\00:04:08.18
Amen. Isn't that a wonderful
thing that God can be our best
00:04:08.21\00:04:11.81
friend. Thank you Auntie Cecily
for sharing that blessing with
00:04:11.85\00:04:14.75
us. Do you know another way that
we can grow closer to God is to
00:04:14.78\00:04:21.76
worship Him in song. And guess
what? We've got Pastor Rick here
00:04:21.79\00:04:23.39
again. Thanks Pastor Rick.
00:04:23.43\00:04:25.43
It's terrific to be here, Auntie
00:04:25.46\00:04:28.03
Nat. Welcome children and I'm
00:04:28.06\00:04:30.53
thinking we might sing
that song God is My Best Friend.
00:04:30.57\00:04:33.70
Pastor Rick, could we please
sing Give Your Heart to Jesus?
00:05:55.55\00:06:00.62
I think this is probably
the most beautiful song we can
00:06:00.66\00:06:04.13
sing, don't you think?
Yeah. It's a great song.
00:06:04.16\00:06:06.83
Let's sing it again. ¤ ¤
00:06:42.36\00:06:44.67
Thanks Pastor Rick. We really
enjoy your company and your
00:07:24.51\00:07:28.04
music in our worship time.
Now Dr. John has another lovely
00:07:28.08\00:07:31.61
blessing to share with
us. Let's go and see one more.
00:07:31.65\00:07:36.42
Hello boys and girls. My name is
Dr. John Hammond and we are at
00:07:36.45\00:07:40.46
Sunnyside and we're about to
leave and to do some exploring
00:07:40.49\00:07:44.43
and we're going to find
something very, very interesting
00:07:44.46\00:07:48.36
Just come with me
and we'll go looking. ¤ ¤
00:07:48.40\00:07:56.60
Hello boys and girls. Welcome
back. I'm Dr. John and you are
00:07:56.64\00:08:01.21
with me in the Ellen G. White
Seventh-day Adventist Research
00:08:01.24\00:08:06.21
Center at Avondale College.
And this room has some wonderful
00:08:06.28\00:08:10.95
stuff. There are photos. And
in that room there is a copy of
00:08:10.99\00:08:15.79
every letter, every article,
every book that she ever wrote.
00:08:15.82\00:08:20.60
Here is a present that was
given to Pastor and Mrs. White.
00:08:20.63\00:08:24.47
It is a very old clock and it's
so valuable that we don't even
00:08:24.50\00:08:29.07
wind it up. It shows the time,
the day of the week, the month
00:08:29.10\00:08:32.97
and the day of the month.
And she had a clock a little bit
00:08:33.04\00:08:37.08
like this. The day that she died
over in America and when she
00:08:37.11\00:08:41.98
died, she died at 3:40 in
the afternoon on Friday, 16th of
00:08:42.05\00:08:47.22
July 1915. And Mary her nurse
when she saw that Mrs. White was
00:08:47.26\00:08:52.39
dead she went over and she
opened the little door at the
00:08:52.43\00:08:58.47
bottom and she stopped the
pendulum and it has never moved
00:08:58.50\00:09:03.41
since then. Almost a hundred
years. So we keep this clock
00:09:03.44\00:09:08.28
very, very carefully. Now over
here, if you'd like to follow me
00:09:08.31\00:09:14.52
It's not really a little Bible.
You couldn't fit it in your
00:09:14.58\00:09:20.76
pocket. In fact, it weighs
nearly nine kilograms or 18
00:09:20.79\00:09:26.63
pounds and this is an exact copy
of the Bible that Ellen held in
00:09:26.66\00:09:31.23
her hand for 30 minutes. I
couldn't hold it in my hand for
00:09:31.27\00:09:35.30
three minutes like that even if
you paid me a million dollars.
00:09:35.34\00:09:40.91
Chenae, hold out your arm, just
one, underneath. Are you ready.
00:09:40.94\00:09:47.28
Leave the other arm still. It
is so heavy. And that is a very
00:09:47.32\00:09:52.55
precious part of the center
here. In fact, you're allowed to
00:09:52.59\00:09:56.93
touch it but most of the time
nobody is allowed to touch this
00:09:56.96\00:10:01.20
Bible, it is so precious to
us. Boys and girls I've got two
00:10:01.23\00:10:05.40
special visitors and
they're coming here to meet you.
00:10:05.43\00:10:07.57
If you'd just like to walk over
in here. These two people know
00:10:07.64\00:10:12.51
more about Mrs. White I think
than anybody in the whole world.
00:10:12.54\00:10:17.38
This is Dr.
Skrzypaszek and Mrs. de Berg.
00:10:17.41\00:10:19.38
Hello boys and girls. It's nice
00:10:19.41\00:10:21.65
to have you with us. Let me
00:10:21.68\00:10:23.22
take you inside the heart of the
research center and we'll share
00:10:23.25\00:10:28.12
with you some exciting stories
and show you some letters
00:10:28.16\00:10:31.99
written by Ellen White and a few
other stories. So let's walk in.
00:10:32.03\00:10:38.03
Hello, Ellen White wrote a
lot of letters and papers and
00:10:38.07\00:10:43.97
periodicals in her time. She
often rose about 3 a. m. and she
00:10:44.01\00:10:48.88
would start writing. This is one
of her letters to her children
00:10:48.91\00:10:55.18
written in 1900. She says, Dear
children. Now when we open a
00:10:55.22\00:11:00.09
lot of periodicals they're
printed in books like this and
00:11:00.12\00:11:04.93
bigger and they take up a lot
of room. So they have microfiche
00:11:04.99\00:11:11.37
now and we can fit
several volumes on one piece of
00:11:11.40\00:11:15.47
microfiche. See each one
of these pages is one page and
00:11:15.50\00:11:19.87
this is microfilm and it's
the same; it works the same way.
00:11:19.91\00:11:24.61
See each one of these little
slots is one page so you can
00:11:24.65\00:11:29.62
imagine how much room we
save by having these sources on
00:11:29.65\00:11:34.36
microfiche and microfilm. So
I'm going to hand you over to
00:11:34.39\00:11:39.06
Dr. John now and he
has something to show you.
00:11:39.09\00:11:43.90
Well you know it's was very very
interesting. Ellen White was a
00:11:43.93\00:11:48.47
very, very special person.
She received approximately 2000
00:11:48.50\00:11:52.97
visions from God. And God said
to her, Please talk to my people
00:11:53.01\00:11:57.25
And we have all the letters
and manuscripts that she wrote
00:11:57.28\00:12:01.42
and some quite interesting. She
wrote to her children, to her
00:12:01.45\00:12:04.95
family and to the church
people at lunch. One day I was
00:12:04.99\00:12:08.42
sitting in my office and I said
to myself I wonder what did she
00:12:08.46\00:12:13.26
say in her last letter to the
church written in 1914. Let me
00:12:13.29\00:12:17.20
give you for example. This a
letter and she said something
00:12:17.27\00:12:22.14
like this: Be faithful, never
doubt in God for He loves you.
00:12:22.17\00:12:28.24
Put your trust and confidence
in your heavenly Father. God is
00:12:28.31\00:12:33.45
waiting to show
all His blessings.
00:12:33.48\00:12:35.72
It is your privilege to
trust in the love of Jesus.
00:12:35.75\00:12:39.99
And you know what I
have discovered that she was
00:12:40.02\00:12:43.06
so passionately in love with
Jesus that people often heard
00:12:43.09\00:12:47.90
her say, Oh Jesus how I love
You Oh Jesus how I love You.
00:12:47.93\00:12:51.90
Well boys and girls and all
my friends, boys and girls right
00:12:51.93\00:12:55.94
around the world, today you
have visited the Ellen G. White
00:12:55.97\00:13:00.98
Seventh-day Adventist Research
Center. The lady who wrote more
00:13:01.01\00:13:05.88
books and more words than any
other lady who has ever lived.
00:13:05.91\00:13:10.75
Thank you for coming.
00:13:10.79\00:13:12.25
Hi boys and girls. Happy Sabbath
Welcome to our Bible study.
00:13:12.32\00:13:15.62
I hope you have your Bibles
ready to read along with us.
00:13:15.66\00:13:18.96
Come and join us. Nick, can
you please say a prayer for us
00:13:18.99\00:13:22.23
before we open
our Bible reading?
00:13:22.26\00:13:24.53
Dear Father, We thank you for
keeping your promises. Thank you
00:13:24.57\00:13:28.20
for our Bibles and please be
with the children today as they
00:13:28.24\00:13:31.87
study Your word.
In Jesus' name Amen.
00:13:31.91\00:13:35.14
Amen. Nick, do you remember what
we studied about last Sabbath.
00:13:35.21\00:13:39.38
The 12 spies.
00:13:39.41\00:13:40.75
And who were the two
spies that were faithful?
00:13:40.78\00:13:43.92
Caleb and Joshua.
00:13:43.95\00:13:45.29
Were the children of Israel
allowed to go into the promised
00:13:45.32\00:13:48.39
land? No. No they weren't. They
didn't trust God, did they? How
00:13:48.42\00:13:51.29
many years did they have to go
back into the wilderness? Forty.
00:13:51.33\00:13:54.86
Forty years. So we're going
to begin our study today back at
00:13:54.90\00:13:58.43
the borders of Canaan. The
children of Israel had spent
00:13:58.47\00:14:01.64
their time in the wilderness
where God had been working on
00:14:01.67\00:14:05.01
their hearts and minds in
preparation for them to enter
00:14:05.04\00:14:08.31
the promised land. And Auntie
Cecily, I might just get you to
00:14:08.34\00:14:13.11
show the children where Kadesh
is. Thank you. And you can see
00:14:13.15\00:14:17.85
the blue circular line where
they wandered around for 40
00:14:17.89\00:14:20.92
years. And God, it looks
like, is going to take them on a
00:14:20.96\00:14:23.93
different route up into the land
of Canaan. You can see the green
00:14:23.99\00:14:27.70
line there and we'll study more
about that shortly. Okay, Ella,
00:14:27.73\00:14:31.57
can you please read our first
reading for us in Numbers 20:2-6
00:14:31.60\00:14:35.60
Now there was no water for the
congregation so they gathered
00:14:35.64\00:14:40.18
together against Moses and Aaron
and the people contended with
00:14:40.21\00:14:44.38
Moses and spoke saying, If only
we had died when our brothers
00:14:44.41\00:14:50.49
died before the Lord. Why have
you brought up the assembly of
00:14:50.52\00:14:55.36
the Lord into the wilderness
that we and our animals should
00:14:55.42\00:15:00.73
die here and why have you let
us come out of Egypt to bring
00:15:00.80\00:15:05.90
us to this evil place? It is
not a place of grain or figs or
00:15:05.93\00:15:11.01
vines or pomegranates nor
is there any water to drink.
00:15:11.04\00:15:14.74
So Moses and Aaron went from
the presence of the assembly to
00:15:14.78\00:15:20.25
the door of the tabernacle of
meeting, and they fell on their
00:15:20.28\00:15:25.69
faces and the glory of
the Lord appeared to them.
00:15:25.72\00:15:27.52
Thanks Ella. So there is no
water and the children of Israel
00:15:27.56\00:15:32.06
are complaining again to Moses
and Aaron. And they went into
00:15:32.09\00:15:36.36
the sanctuary to pray to God.
Let's see what God tells them.
00:15:36.40\00:15:40.60
Nick can you please
read for us Numbers 20:7-12.
00:15:40.64\00:15:45.07
Then the Lord spoke to Moses,
saying, take the rod, you and
00:15:45.14\00:15:49.31
your brother Aaron. Gather the
congregation together. Speak to
00:15:49.34\00:15:53.52
the Rock before their eyes
and it will yield its water.
00:15:53.55\00:15:56.82
Thus you shall bring water for
them out of the rock and give
00:15:56.85\00:16:00.39
a drink to the congregation
and their animals. So Moses took
00:16:00.42\00:16:04.56
the rod from before the Lord as
He commanded him and Moses and
00:16:04.59\00:16:08.73
Aaron gathered the assembly
together before the rock. And
00:16:08.76\00:16:13.00
he said to them, Hear now you
rebels, must we bring water for
00:16:13.03\00:16:17.81
you out of this rock. Then Moses
lifted his hand and struck the
00:16:17.84\00:16:22.58
rock twice with his rod and
water came out abundantly and
00:16:22.61\00:16:27.45
the congregation and the animals
drank. Then the Lord spoke to
00:16:27.48\00:16:31.09
Moses and Aaron, Because you did
not believe Me, you hallowed me
00:16:31.12\00:16:34.72
in the eyes of the children
of Israel, therefore, you shall
00:16:34.76\00:16:38.39
not bring this assembly into the
land which I have given them.
00:16:38.43\00:16:43.13
Wow. So in verse eight God asked
Moses to speak to the rock. In
00:16:43.16\00:16:47.64
verse 10, Moses says, Must we
bring water for you out of this
00:16:47.67\00:16:52.34
rock. Did they provide the water
or did God provide the water?
00:16:52.37\00:16:56.64
God. God, yes God did and in
verse 11 Moses struck the rock
00:16:56.71\00:17:00.98
twice. Moses wasn't supposed to
strike to rock but speak to it
00:17:01.02\00:17:05.75
like God asked him to. So we
read in verse 12 that God tells
00:17:05.82\00:17:10.16
Moses and Aaron because of their
sin they were not to lead the
00:17:10.19\00:17:14.50
Israelites into the promised
land. That seems a bit harsh
00:17:14.53\00:17:17.77
doesn't it? Moses and Aaron when
they are very old men that had
00:17:17.80\00:17:21.60
put up with a lot. The children
of Israel had complained and
00:17:21.67\00:17:25.41
rebelled for 40 years. Moses had
lost his patience and with anger
00:17:25.44\00:17:29.54
struck the rock. Moses had
dishonored God. Moses and Aaron
00:17:29.58\00:17:33.92
repented immediately and God
forgave them, but God could not
00:17:33.98\00:17:37.75
take away the consequences of
their sin. Let's have a look at
00:17:37.79\00:17:41.49
our Torch Light, Mrs. White's
writings, to see what they shine
00:17:41.52\00:17:44.63
on what we've just read. Nick
you're going to read that for
00:17:44.66\00:17:47.70
us, thank you.
00:17:47.73\00:17:49.53
But when it was declared that
00:17:49.56\00:17:58.77
because of that one sin Moses
and Aaron were not to enter
00:17:58.81\00:18:02.54
Canaan, the people knew that
God is no respecter of persons
00:18:02.58\00:18:07.08
and that He will surely punish
the transgressor. The fact that
00:18:07.12\00:18:11.52
Moses had enjoyed so great light
and knowledge made his sin more
00:18:11.55\00:18:17.56
grievous. Past faithfulness will
not atone for one wrong act.
00:18:17.59\00:18:22.76
The greater light and privileges
granted to a man, the greater is
00:18:22.80\00:18:27.94
his responsibility.
00:18:27.97\00:18:30.27
Mmm. So that's very sobering.
So that is telling us that even
00:18:30.31\00:18:34.68
God's servant Moses who had been
so obedient and faithful was not
00:18:34.71\00:18:38.58
immune or had special protection
from God from the consequences
00:18:38.61\00:18:42.92
of sin. So God asked Moses
to do something. Elijah, can you
00:18:42.95\00:18:47.22
please read Numbers 20:25-29.
00:18:47.26\00:18:50.73
Take Aaron and Eleazar his son
and bring them up to Mount Hor
00:18:50.76\00:18:56.77
and strip Aaron of his garments
and put them on Eleazar his son
00:18:56.80\00:19:01.74
for Aaron shall be gathered
to his people and die there. So
00:19:01.80\00:19:05.97
Moses did just as the Lord
commanded and they went up to
00:19:06.01\00:19:10.11
Mount Hor in the sight of all
the congregation. Moses stripped
00:19:10.15\00:19:14.98
Aaron of his garments and
put them on Eleazar his son and
00:19:15.02\00:19:19.02
Aaron died there on top of
the mountain. Then Moses and
00:19:19.05\00:19:22.59
Eleazar came down from
the mountain. Now when all the
00:19:22.62\00:19:26.09
congregation saw that Aaron was
dead, all the house of Israel
00:19:26.13\00:19:29.20
mourned for Aaron thirty days.
00:19:29.23\00:19:32.37
So Aaron died. He was 123 years
old. His son Eleazar took his
00:19:32.43\00:19:38.27
place as high priest. Moses felt
his loss greatly. Aaron had been
00:19:38.31\00:19:43.61
his constant companion for the
past 40 years. Moses now leaned
00:19:43.65\00:19:48.92
more heavily on God his
best friend. God can become our
00:19:48.98\00:19:53.56
friend too. Let's read our
memory verse together. It's in
00:19:53.59\00:19:58.13
John 15:14. Go to that
and we'll read that together.
00:19:58.16\00:20:03.93
You ready?
00:20:03.97\00:20:08.80
You are my friends if you
do whatever I command you.
00:20:08.84\00:20:14.54
That's an amazing promise isn't
it? Okay now we're going to go
00:20:14.58\00:20:18.81
to the book of Deuteronomy. This
is the fifth book that Moses
00:20:18.85\00:20:23.79
wrote. Now we're going to go
to Deuteronomy 7. We'll go to
00:20:23.82\00:20:28.72
Deuteronomy 7 and Kate
you're going to read for us
00:20:28.76\00:20:31.23
Deuteronomy 7:6-8 and 11.
00:20:31.26\00:20:36.73
For you are a holy people to the
Lord your God. The Lord your God
00:20:36.77\00:20:41.44
has chosen you to be a people
for Himself, a special treasure
00:20:41.47\00:20:46.24
above all the peoples on the
face of the earth. The Lord did
00:20:46.27\00:20:51.01
not set His love on you
nor choose you because you were
00:20:51.05\00:20:56.32
more in number than any other
people for you were the least
00:20:56.35\00:21:01.69
of all peoples; but because the
Lord loves you and because He
00:21:01.72\00:21:06.49
would keep the oath which He
swore to your fathers the Lord
00:21:06.53\00:21:11.23
has brought you out with a
mighty hand and redeemed you
00:21:11.27\00:21:14.17
from the house of bondage from
the hand of Pharaoh the King of
00:21:14.20\00:21:18.47
Egypt. Therefore, you shall keep
the commandment, the statutes,
00:21:18.51\00:21:22.78
and the judgments
which I command you today to
00:21:22.81\00:21:26.21
observe them.
00:21:26.25\00:21:27.58
Thanks Kate. So Moses was again
reminding them that the children
00:21:27.62\00:21:30.85
of Israel were a special people
that God had chosen to reflect
00:21:30.89\00:21:34.89
God's character to all nations
and not to forget what God had
00:21:34.92\00:21:38.89
done for them. Okay
Ben you're going to read
00:21:38.93\00:21:41.60
Deuteronomy
18:9-14 for us please.
00:21:41.63\00:21:45.77
When you come into the
land which the Lord your God is
00:21:45.83\00:21:49.30
giving you, you shall not learn
to follow the abominations of
00:21:49.34\00:21:53.11
those nations. They shall not be
found among you anyone who makes
00:21:53.14\00:21:56.88
his son or his daughter pass
through the fire, or one who
00:21:56.91\00:22:00.62
practices witchcraft, or a
soothsayer or one who interprets
00:22:00.65\00:22:04.29
omens, or a sorcerer, or one who
conjures spells or a medium or a
00:22:04.35\00:22:09.16
spiritist, or one who calls up
the dead. For all who do these
00:22:09.19\00:22:12.96
things are an abomination to
the Lord and because of these
00:22:12.99\00:22:16.67
abominations the Lord your God
drives them out from before you.
00:22:16.70\00:22:21.57
You shall be blameless before
the Lord your God. For these
00:22:21.60\00:22:25.07
nations which you will
dispossess listen to soothsayers
00:22:25.11\00:22:28.44
and diviners but as for you the
Lord your God has not appointed
00:22:28.48\00:22:32.11
such for you.
00:22:32.15\00:22:33.72
So these were the things that
the people who lived in Canaan
00:22:33.75\00:22:37.52
did. God did not want them to
be influenced by it as it was an
00:22:37.55\00:22:41.22
abomination to God. Who do you
think was responsible for all
00:22:41.26\00:22:45.26
these activities? Satan.
Satan, yes. And they are all a
00:22:45.29\00:22:49.20
counterfeit to God. We're now
going to go to the last chapter
00:22:49.23\00:22:53.67
of Deuteronomy, can you find
that, chapter 34. So before the
00:22:53.74\00:22:57.44
children went into the promised
land God tells Moses to climb
00:22:57.47\00:23:01.21
Mount Nebo. Aunt Cecily I might
get you to point out Mount Nebo
00:23:01.24\00:23:06.61
on the map. See it way up there.
So God wanted to show Moses the
00:23:06.65\00:23:11.95
land of Canaan laid out before
him because Moses could only
00:23:11.99\00:23:16.73
see it from afar. The Lord also
reminds Moses the He kept His
00:23:16.76\00:23:21.00
promise of bringing them to the
land He had promised Abraham,
00:23:21.03\00:23:24.93
Isaac and Jacob. Ella, you're
going to read for us please
00:23:24.97\00:23:28.84
Deuteronomy 34:5-8.
00:23:28.87\00:23:31.97
So Moses, the servant of the
Lord, died there in the land of
00:23:32.01\00:23:35.64
Moab according to the word
of the Lord and He buried him in
00:23:35.68\00:23:39.45
the valley in the land of Moab,
opposite Beth Peor, but no one
00:23:39.48\00:23:43.79
knows his grave to this day.
Moses was 120 years old when he
00:23:43.82\00:23:49.29
died. His eyes were not dim nor
his natural vigor diminished.
00:23:49.32\00:23:54.03
And the children of Israel wept
for Moses in the plains of Moab
00:23:54.06\00:23:58.40
30 days and the days of weeping
and mourning for Moses ended.
00:23:58.43\00:24:02.70
Thanks Ella. So Moses was what,
how old was he, what did we just
00:24:02.77\00:24:07.38
read? 120. He was 120 years old
when he died. The Bible tells us
00:24:07.44\00:24:11.88
that God's angels came down and
buried Moses. Mrs. White tells
00:24:11.91\00:24:16.12
us at the bottom of our Remnant
Young Scholar Study Bibles that
00:24:16.15\00:24:19.65
Christ came down and raised
Moses from the dead and took him
00:24:19.69\00:24:23.29
to heaven. So Moses may not
have been able to go into the
00:24:23.32\00:24:26.90
promised land but he went to
heaven to be with God his best
00:24:26.93\00:24:31.23
friend forever. Nick, can you
please read Deuteronomy 34:10.
00:24:31.27\00:24:36.37
But since then there has not
arisen in Israel a prophet like
00:24:36.40\00:24:41.44
Moses whom the
Lord knew face to face.
00:24:41.48\00:24:44.08
Thanks Nick. Do you remember
our very first memory verse way
00:24:44.11\00:24:48.32
back about the faithfulness of
Moses' parents in hiding Moses?
00:24:48.35\00:24:52.52
Do you remember what the
Pharaoh wanted to do? Where did
00:24:52.55\00:24:55.16
he want to throw the baby boys?
In the river. In the River Nile.
00:24:55.19\00:24:59.79
Do you think the faithfulness
of his parents paid off. We just
00:24:59.83\00:25:03.77
read in the Bible that Moses
was one of the greatest prophets
00:25:03.80\00:25:08.37
that knew God face to face and
his story is here for us to read
00:25:08.40\00:25:12.94
today. We can all learn
something from the amazing life
00:25:12.97\00:25:16.85
of Moses. Thank you boys and
girls for following along with
00:25:16.88\00:25:20.72
us as we have read from Exodus
to Deuteronomy. God loves you
00:25:20.75\00:25:24.49
very much and wants to be your
friend too. Remember to read
00:25:24.52\00:25:28.49
your Bibles every day. You can
trust His word and know that God
00:25:28.52\00:25:32.39
does keep his promises. We
have a seven day devotional that
00:25:32.43\00:25:36.23

00:25:58.75\00:26:03.59
When we read our Bibles we get
to know God as our friend. God
00:26:03.63\00:26:08.16
wants His friends to spend
eternity with Him. God wants you
00:26:08.20\00:26:12.40
to read your Bibles every day
so He can communicate with you
00:26:12.43\00:26:16.54
and tell you how much He loves
you. Do you know Auntie Nat,
00:26:16.57\00:26:21.71
we've learnt so much about
God during this past 13 Sabbaths
00:26:21.74\00:26:25.98
Yes we have. We've been on
an incredible journey. God is
00:26:26.01\00:26:30.19
amazing. He's the King of kings
and the Lord of lords, He is the
00:26:30.22\00:26:33.96
I Am, He is the beginning
and the end and God is mighty to
00:26:34.02\00:26:38.79
save. He's a holy God. But the
beautiful thing is that He can
00:26:38.83\00:26:43.67
be your best friend. Ask
Him into your hearts today. Aunt
00:26:43.70\00:26:47.57
Cecily shall we go over our
memory verse that we learnt in
00:26:47.60\00:26:51.41
our Bible study?
00:26:51.44\00:26:52.77
Yes. Children we're
going to read it together.
00:26:52.81\00:26:55.91
John 15:14-You are my friends
if you do whatever I command you
00:26:55.94\00:27:01.82
Auntie Nat, are you ready to
sing our blessing song to the
00:27:01.85\00:27:07.69
Yes. Children can you turn
around so that we can sing that
00:27:07.72\00:27:10.83
to the children at home?
00:27:10.86\00:27:13.80
¤May God bless you and keep you
and fill your heart with love¤
00:27:13.83\00:27:28.41
¤May God guide and protect
you and watch you from above¤
00:27:28.44\00:27:39.35
