Hello there, Happy Sabbath.
00:00:01.46\00:00:03.16
Come on in, we're
about to meet with the King.
00:00:03.23\00:00:05.57
¤ ¤
00:00:05.60\00:00:53.75
Hello, I'm Auntie Cecily.
00:00:53.78\00:00:55.12
And I'm Auntie Nat.
00:00:55.15\00:00:56.48
It's so good
00:00:56.52\00:00:57.85
you could come back and join us
00:00:57.89\00:00:59.22
to worship the King as we
00:00:59.25\00:01:00.59
welcome in the Sabbath. How
00:01:00.62\00:01:01.96
are you all today?
Good. Good. Yes Bethany.
00:01:01.99\00:01:06.06
May I say hello to my grandma?
00:01:06.09\00:01:07.43
Yes, what's your grandma's name
00:01:07.46\00:01:09.13
Grandma Lynn.
00:01:09.16\00:01:12.07
Lynn, okay. Hello Grandma Lynn.
00:01:12.13\00:01:15.00
Thanks Bethany. We know a
lot of our older folk watch this
00:01:15.04\00:01:18.61
program and it's so nice to
have you join us. And we hope
00:01:18.64\00:01:22.51
you feel welcomed too. And
speaking of welcomes, Welcome
00:01:22.54\00:01:26.28
Teddy. You've sort of become
part of the furniture, haven't
00:01:26.31\00:01:30.02
you? He sure has.
00:01:30.05\00:01:31.39
Auntie Nat, would you like
to say a prayer for us before we
00:01:31.42\00:01:35.32
commence our worship time.
00:01:35.36\00:01:36.69
Sure, I'd love to. Dearest
heavenly Father, we thank you
00:01:36.73\00:01:38.96
so much for bringing us safely
through another week. We thank
00:01:38.99\00:01:42.23
you for the Sabbath where we can
worship you and we ask Lord a
00:01:42.26\00:01:46.03
special welcome and a blessing
on the children at home. We ask
00:01:46.07\00:01:48.90
Lord would you please be with
them and especially the older
00:01:48.94\00:01:51.74
folk as well. And we ask
this in Jesus' name, Amen.
00:01:51.77\00:01:55.44
Amen. Thanks Auntie Nat.
Now let's have a look in our
00:01:55.48\00:01:59.58
blessing box. Let's see what
blessing we might be able to
00:01:59.61\00:02:03.69
with someone else. Kate would
you like to open the box and
00:02:03.72\00:02:07.79
read a blessing to us?
00:02:07.82\00:02:09.16
Invite a friend to church.
00:02:09.19\00:02:10.53
Oh that would be a nice
thing to do. What do you think
00:02:10.56\00:02:13.96
Auntie Nat?
00:02:14.00\00:02:15.33
Oh I think that would be a
fantastic idea. Do you know when
00:02:15.36\00:02:17.43
I was a child some relatives
took me to church. And do you
00:02:17.47\00:02:20.57
know what that sowed the seed in
my mind and helped me decide to
00:02:20.64\00:02:24.61
follow Jesus when I was older.
So I think it's a fabulous idea.
00:02:24.64\00:02:28.78
Oh, that's lovely. Can you think
of someone you could take to
00:02:28.81\00:02:33.08
church next week? Kate can you
think of somethings that might
00:02:33.11\00:02:36.42
be a blessing to someone if you
brought them along to church?
00:02:36.45\00:02:39.72
They can learn that
Jesus loves them very much.
00:02:39.75\00:02:42.72
So inviting someone to
church could be a really lovely
00:02:42.79\00:02:45.83
blessing for them. It could
change their lives couldn't it?
00:02:45.86\00:02:49.66
Yes. Boys and girls, have you
had a special experience where
00:02:49.73\00:02:53.47
you've invited someone to church
and it ended up being a blessing
00:02:53.50\00:02:57.17
We'd love to hear about it. We
could share it with the children
00:02:57.21\00:03:00.88
here. Our address is
www. adaywiththeking. com.
00:03:00.91\00:03:05.81
Yes, we'd love to hear about
your experience. Auntie Cecily
00:03:05.85\00:03:08.35
you've been sharing so
many blessings with us about the
00:03:08.38\00:03:11.39
second coming of Jesus. Do
you have another one for us?
00:03:11.45\00:03:14.39
I do. Remember how we spoke last
Sabbath about what happens when
00:03:14.42\00:03:18.89
Jesus comes. God will raise
the dead and those who are alive
00:03:18.93\00:03:23.60
will be taken up to meet with
Jesus in the clouds. Later in
00:03:23.63\00:03:28.20
Bible study we'll discover how
the Philistines were deceived.
00:03:28.24\00:03:32.44
Do you know they thought that
if they stole the ark of the
00:03:32.47\00:03:36.04
covenant that they would have
the power of God and that they'd
00:03:36.11\00:03:40.62
be able to use it for themselves
Before Jesus comes Satan will
00:03:40.65\00:03:45.25
try to deceive everyone by
impersonating Jesus. If you see
00:03:45.29\00:03:49.89
someone walking around on
the earth claiming to be Jesus,
00:03:49.92\00:03:55.00
don't believe it. When Jesus
comes the second time to take us
00:03:55.03\00:03:59.03
home, He will not touch the
ground. He will be in the air
00:03:59.07\00:04:03.51
in the cloud of angels.
Listen to these verses found in
00:04:03.54\00:04:08.48
Matthew 24:4, 5. And Jesus
answered and said to them take
00:04:08.51\00:04:13.52
heed that no one deceives you
for many will come in my name
00:04:13.55\00:04:19.89
saying, I am the Christ, and
will deceive many and in verses
00:04:19.95\00:04:25.79
26 and 27 it says, Therefore
if they say to you look he is in
00:04:25.83\00:04:31.57
the desert, do not go out, or
look, He's in the inner rooms,
00:04:31.60\00:04:36.47
do not believe it, for as the
lightening comes from the east
00:04:36.50\00:04:40.81
and flashes to the west, so
shall the coming of the Son of
00:04:40.84\00:04:45.48
Man be. So beware and do
not let Satan deceive you. Let's
00:04:45.51\00:04:50.12
remember to read and
believe in God's promises.
00:04:50.15\00:04:52.69
Oh, Amen, Auntie Cecily. Thank
you so much for sharing that
00:04:52.72\00:04:56.52
with us. Jesus really wants
us to read the word so we won't
00:04:56.56\00:05:00.96
be deceived about the manner of
His coming. Oh look who's just
00:05:01.00\00:05:05.43
snuck in. Thanks Pastor Rick for
joining us. We are so blessed
00:05:05.47\00:05:09.87
by your musical talent.
00:05:09.90\00:05:11.24
You know, I'm glad to be
back again, especially with you
00:05:11.27\00:05:13.04
children and I understand Aunt
Cecily's been taking us through
00:05:13.07\00:05:16.91
Jesus return or Jesus coming
back to earth again. I have a
00:05:16.95\00:05:20.78
song just on that theme. It's
called Jesus Is Coming Again.
00:05:20.82\00:05:24.65
Do you want to sing this one?
00:05:24.69\00:05:26.02
Pastor Rick may we please
sing Wonderful, Wonderful?
00:07:52.07\00:07:57.57
What a wonderful
song, Bright idea.
00:07:57.61\00:08:01.58
Let's sing it again.
00:08:20.96\00:08:22.30
Thanks Pastor Rick. Won't it
be wonderful when we get to sing
00:08:43.55\00:08:47.39
with the angels in heaven? And
now it's time for a story from
00:08:47.42\00:08:50.99
Dr. John. Do you want to see
what he's up to in his study?
00:08:51.03\00:08:54.56
Let's go and find Dr. John.
00:08:54.60\00:08:57.47
Hello Boys and girls. I'm
00:08:57.50\00:09:00.30
Dr. John. Welcome to story time.
00:09:00.34\00:09:01.67
And welcome to all the other
boys and girls who are watching
00:09:01.70\00:09:06.98
I want to tell you about Bryan
and Olive and their three little
00:09:07.04\00:09:12.08
boys. That was Dr. Bryan and
they lived up at Kempsey and he
00:09:12.11\00:09:17.22
had a new house, a new car,
three little boys. Oh he was so
00:09:17.25\00:09:22.92
happy until one day the phone
rang. Hello, is that Dr. Bryan?
00:09:22.96\00:09:29.23
Yes. Would you like to be a
missionary? No. I've got a house
00:09:29.26\00:09:35.47
that I'm paying for and a
car. He hung up. But then he
00:09:35.50\00:09:39.21
thought about it and he said
to Olive, Maybe if they ever ask
00:09:39.27\00:09:43.68
us again, we should say yes.
And you know what? The phone
00:09:43.75\00:09:48.62
rang again. Would you like to
be a missionary? Yes. Where to?
00:09:48.68\00:09:54.42
Well they went to Panang in
Malaya, we call it Malaysia now.
00:09:54.46\00:09:59.69
But before they left they were
told to be very careful of two
00:09:59.73\00:10:04.57
things. One were the bandits
who like to shoot missionaries.
00:10:04.60\00:10:10.31
The other thing, they said there
are lots of snakes and Bryan
00:10:10.34\00:10:16.71
said really? Dangerous snakes?
Very dangerous snakes. In fact,
00:10:16.75\00:10:23.69
I've got a photo of the type of
snake. It is a cobra. And when
00:10:23.72\00:10:30.63
a cobra gets angry, they
can stand that far up and if
00:10:30.66\00:10:34.36
one bites you and you haven't
got the medicine, start saying
00:10:34.40\00:10:40.74
your prayers because you've only
got 25 minutes and you're dead.
00:10:40.80\00:10:46.57
Well, with that news Dr. Bryan,
Mrs. Olive and the three boys
00:10:46.61\00:10:52.35
Bryan, John and
Gordan. What were their names?
00:10:52.38\00:10:56.28
Bryan, John and Gordon.
00:10:56.32\00:10:59.82
They arrived at their house.
They'd been flying for a day and
00:10:59.85\00:11:04.43
a night, and it was nighttime.
They went to bed and early the
00:11:04.46\00:11:09.60
next morning Dr. Bryan came out
and he opened the back door. It
00:11:09.63\00:11:14.74
was very hot. He didn't have
shoes on and he put his foot
00:11:14.77\00:11:20.91
on the back of a King Cobra.
And he shut that door so fast
00:11:20.94\00:11:26.45
he nearly left his foot outside.
And he came in and he said to
00:11:26.48\00:11:31.99
Olive, don't unpack the
bags, we are not going anywhere
00:11:32.02\00:11:37.93
except home. And he had
breakfast and his hands were
00:11:37.99\00:11:43.83
shaking. Then he thought God
has asked us to come all the way
00:11:43.87\00:11:48.14
out here to be missionaries
and now we're going home. That's
00:11:48.17\00:11:52.14
not very much faith in that.
And he said to Olive, I tell you
00:11:52.17\00:11:57.51
what I'm going to do. I'm going
to get my Bible, we're going to
00:11:57.55\00:12:01.12
pray and I'm going to get the
Bible like this and I'm going to
00:12:01.15\00:12:04.62
look the other way and I'm
just going to open it and put my
00:12:04.65\00:12:08.02
thumb inside and if there is not
a message under my thumb, we'll
00:12:08.06\00:12:13.70
go home. Is that fair? Well
he thought it was. Had prayer,
00:12:13.73\00:12:19.00
opened his Bible and he put it
on a text he'd never ever read
00:12:19.03\00:12:24.77
before. It's Luke chapter 10 and
verse 19: Listen to this-Behold
00:12:24.81\00:12:30.51
I give unto you power to
tread on serpents (snakes) and
00:12:30.55\00:12:37.99
scorpions and over all the power
of the enemy and nothing will
00:12:38.02\00:12:42.62
ever hurt you. He looked at that
text and he said to Olive, I
00:12:42.66\00:12:47.93
I think we have to stay. And you
know they stayed there for 12
00:12:47.96\00:12:53.60
years and they killed 12 snakes
in the bathroom in that house.
00:12:53.64\00:12:59.24
Little John went to the
bathroom one night and he
00:12:59.27\00:13:05.18
turned on the light. He looked
on the floor, because the shower
00:13:05.21\00:13:09.15
used to go under the floor and
right there was a yikes, like
00:13:09.18\00:13:13.99
that. Yes, you got a fright and
so did John. And daddy had to
00:13:14.02\00:13:18.89
come and get rid of it. Do you
want to see a picture of Bryan
00:13:18.93\00:13:24.20
and John and Gordon. That's what
they looked like when they lived
00:13:24.23\00:13:29.50
in Penang and they were never
bitten by any snakes. That's
00:13:29.54\00:13:35.31
Bryan, that's Gordon, who's
that John. What's my name? John.
00:13:35.34\00:13:41.38
That's me. That was my mommy
and daddy and we had that as our
00:13:41.42\00:13:47.39
favorite text for all
those years and it is still our
00:13:47.42\00:13:52.39
favorite text. Power to tread
on serpents and scorpions and
00:13:52.43\00:13:56.50
nothing will hurt you, because
God looks after missionaries.
00:13:56.53\00:14:00.60
Thank you boys and girls.
00:14:00.64\00:14:01.97
Hi boys and girls. Welcome to
our Bible study. If you haven't
00:14:02.00\00:14:04.81
got your Bibles ready yet, go
get them now so you can follow
00:14:04.84\00:14:07.68
along with us. Auntie Cecily,
would you like to say a prayer
00:14:07.71\00:14:10.55
for us to open
our Bible study today?
00:14:10.58\00:14:13.01
Yes. Dear Father, thank you
so much for our Bibles. We just
00:14:13.08\00:14:17.15
pray that you would help us
to understand the things that we
00:14:17.19\00:14:21.22
read and please give us willing
hearts to follow Your word.
00:14:21.26\00:14:24.73
Please especially bless the
children and families at home
00:14:24.76\00:14:28.20
who are watching too. We
pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
00:14:28.23\00:14:31.70
Amen. Now Anna, we were
studying about some interesting
00:14:31.73\00:14:35.10
characters last Sabbath. Who was
the main character of our story
00:14:35.17\00:14:40.78
last week. Samuel. Samuel. Now
was he obedient to God. Yeah.
00:14:40.81\00:14:45.31
He was wasn't he? He was only
a child wasn't he. What about
00:14:45.35\00:14:48.98
Hophni and Phinehas. No. No they
weren't obedient to God at all
00:14:49.02\00:14:52.79
were they. And our story today
that we're going to talk about
00:14:52.82\00:14:56.56
is what happens with
the consequence of not being
00:14:56.59\00:15:00.56
obedient to God. It's a
very interesting story. So Anna
00:15:00.60\00:15:04.93
you're going to start off
our reading with 1 Samuel 4:1-2.
00:15:04.97\00:15:10.41
Now Israel went out to battle
against the Philistines and
00:15:10.44\00:15:15.78
encamped beside Ebenezer and the
Philistines encamped in Aphek.
00:15:15.81\00:15:19.21
Then the Philistines put
themselves in battle array
00:15:19.25\00:15:23.25
against Israel and when
they joined battle, Israel was
00:15:23.28\00:15:27.26
defeated by the Philistines
who killed about 4000 men of the
00:15:27.29\00:15:30.73
army in the field.
00:15:30.76\00:15:33.13
Mmm. Thanks Anna. So the
Israelites went to war without
00:15:33.16\00:15:37.07
consulting God or the high
priest. Their spiritual decline
00:15:37.10\00:15:41.30
and wandering away from God's
laws had caused them to make
00:15:41.34\00:15:45.47
an unwise decision Unfortunately
because of their unwise decision
00:15:45.51\00:15:48.84
4000 men died in battle. Let's
00:15:48.88\00:15:52.48
continue to see what happens
next. Matthew can you please
00:15:52.51\00:15:55.98
read 1 Samuel 4:3.
00:15:56.02\00:16:00.09
And when the people had come
into the camp, the elders of
00:16:00.16\00:16:04.09
Israel said, Why has the Lord
defeated us today before the
00:16:04.13\00:16:07.20
Philistines. Let us bring the
ark of the covenant of the Lord
00:16:07.23\00:16:11.07
from Shiloh to us, that when
it comes among us it may save us
00:16:11.10\00:16:14.90
from the hands of our enemies.
00:16:14.94\00:16:17.31
So Hophni and Phinehas went into
the sanctuary at Shiloh and took
00:16:17.34\00:16:22.71
the ark out of the most
holy place without permission of
00:16:22.74\00:16:26.58
father, the high priest.
Now Aunt Cecily can you just put
00:16:26.61\00:16:30.19
that up for the camera please.
Now were they supposed to go
00:16:30.25\00:16:34.39
into the Most Holy place. No.
No, only Eli they high priest
00:16:34.42\00:16:38.83
was supposed to go in there and
only once a year on the day of
00:16:38.86\00:16:43.67
atonement. Thanks Aunt Cecily.
Now when the ark arrived at the
00:16:43.70\00:16:47.47
Israelite encampment there was
a huge shout and cheer from them
00:16:47.54\00:16:51.27
because they thought that
now God would win the battle for
00:16:51.31\00:16:54.74
them. After all that of going
to get the ark, the Philistines
00:16:54.78\00:16:58.95
actually won the battle and
30,000 Israelites died. God was
00:16:58.98\00:17:04.35
not with the ark. God only
resided with the ark when the
00:17:04.39\00:17:09.69
children of Israel were being
obedient to the 10 commandments.
00:17:09.72\00:17:12.16
That is what the ark was for.
What was the ark for, what was
00:17:12.19\00:17:14.60
inside the ark of the covenant?
00:17:14.63\00:17:16.06
The 10 commandments.
00:17:16.10\00:17:17.43
The 10 commandments. Kate can
you please take the blue cloth
00:17:17.47\00:17:20.34
off of our ark of the covenant
so that the children can see at
00:17:20.37\00:17:23.67
home. Thank you. Isn't that
beautiful. So God was unable to
00:17:23.71\00:17:27.78
bless this endeavor. Can we keep
the commandments on our own.
00:17:27.81\00:17:32.01
No. We can't. We have to invite
Jesus into our hearts and He
00:17:32.05\00:17:36.15
will help us keep them. Let's
go to our memory verse found in
00:17:36.18\00:17:40.22
Philippians 4:7. Okay.
Let's read that together.
00:17:40.26\00:17:49.23
And the peace of God, which
surpasses all understanding,
00:17:49.26\00:17:54.77
will guard your hearts and
minds through Christ Jesus.
00:17:54.80\00:18:00.21
So if we pray to Jesus every
day and ask Him to help us keep
00:18:00.28\00:18:05.25
these commandments, He will.
Okay, Kate, can you please read
00:18:05.28\00:18:10.22
1 Samuel 4:11.
00:18:10.25\00:18:14.76
Also the ark of God was captured
and the two sons of Eli, Hophni
00:18:14.79\00:18:19.66
and Phinehas died.
00:18:19.69\00:18:21.40
Mmm. So Hophni and Phinehas
died among the 30,000 and the
00:18:21.46\00:18:27.20
Philistines they stole that ark.
Now an Israelite from the tribe
00:18:27.24\00:18:31.17
of Benjamin ran all the way back
from the battlefield to Shiloh
00:18:31.21\00:18:35.44
where the sanctuary was to tell
this awful news. The ark being
00:18:35.48\00:18:39.81
taken was too much for Eli
and he fell off his chair and he
00:18:39.88\00:18:43.28
died. Let's continue reading
what happened to the ark. J J
00:18:43.32\00:18:46.69
can you please
read 1 Samuel 5:1-4.
00:18:46.72\00:18:50.13
Yeah. Then the Philistines took
the ark of God and brought it
00:18:50.16\00:18:56.46
from Ebenezer to Ashdod. When
the Philistines took the ark of
00:18:56.50\00:19:02.44
God they brought it into
the house of Dagon and set it by
00:19:02.47\00:19:06.94
Dagon. And when the people
of Ashdod arose early in the
00:19:06.98\00:19:11.38
morning there was Dagon fallen
on its face to the earth before
00:19:11.41\00:19:18.99
the ark of the Lord. So they
took Dagon and set it in its
00:19:19.02\00:19:23.53
place. And when they arose early
the next morning there was Dagon
00:19:23.59\00:19:31.30
fallen on its face to the
ground before the ark of the
00:19:31.33\00:19:35.20
Lord. The head of Dagon and
both the palms of its hands were
00:19:35.27\00:19:42.14
broken off on the threshold.
Only Dagon's torso was left
00:19:42.18\00:19:49.05
on it.
00:19:49.08\00:19:50.42
Thanks, J J. So this is showing
that God is more powerful than
00:19:50.45\00:19:54.82
the idols. The idols were bowing
to God. Now Aunt Cecily, can you
00:19:54.86\00:19:59.06
show us where Ashdod is on the
map where they'd taken the ark
00:19:59.09\00:20:03.20
to. All the way from down there.
Okay, we've got a map here boys
00:20:03.23\00:20:07.10
and girls showing the journey
of were the stolen ark was taken
00:20:07.14\00:20:10.97
from Shiloh at the sanctuary,
all the way down to Ashdod.
00:20:11.01\00:20:15.81
Okay, Aunt Cecily. You're
going to read 1 Samuel 5:6.
00:20:15.84\00:20:20.55
But the hand of the Lord was
heavy on the people of Ashdod
00:20:20.62\00:20:24.62
and he ravaged them and struck
them with tumors, both Ashdod
00:20:24.65\00:20:28.62
and its territory.
00:20:28.66\00:20:30.23
So God sent a plague of tumors
on the people and they decided
00:20:30.29\00:20:34.70
they could keep the ark no
longer and they sent it to Gath.
00:20:34.73\00:20:39.10
Okay. Anna, can you
please read 1 Samuel 5:9.
00:20:39.13\00:20:43.37
So it was after they had carried
it away that the hand of the
00:20:43.41\00:20:47.48
Lord was against the city with
a very great destruction and He
00:20:47.54\00:20:51.58
struck the men of the city, both
small and great, with tumors and
00:20:51.61\00:20:55.62
tumors broke out on them.
00:20:55.65\00:20:57.65
Thanks Anna. So the people in
Gath were also struck down with
00:20:57.69\00:21:01.32
tumors and they sent it to Ekron
Now Aunt Cecily can you please
00:21:01.36\00:21:05.23
point to Gath and then up to
Ekron. They took it all the way
00:21:05.26\00:21:09.10
up there. Thank you.
Matthew, can you please read
00:21:09.13\00:21:12.37
1 Samuel 5:11-12
00:21:12.40\00:21:14.67
So they sent and gathered
together all the Lords of the
00:21:14.70\00:21:18.37
Philistines and said, Send away
the ark of God of Israel and let
00:21:18.41\00:21:22.98
it go back to its own place, so
that it does not kill us and our
00:21:23.01\00:21:27.05
people, for there was a deadly
destruction throughout all the
00:21:27.08\00:21:30.72
city and the hand of God was
very heavy there. And the men
00:21:30.75\00:21:34.26
who did not die were stricken
with the tumors and the cry of
00:21:34.29\00:21:37.79
the city went up to heaven.
00:21:37.83\00:21:40.20
Thanks Matthew. So the people
of Ekron now get the plague of
00:21:40.26\00:21:44.07
tumors and they want to get
rid of that ark. The Philistines
00:21:44.10\00:21:47.80
realized they need to do
something with the ark but they
00:21:47.84\00:21:51.27
are not sure how to remove it
from their country. They asked
00:21:51.34\00:21:55.11
the priests and the wise men of
their land and they put it on a
00:21:55.14\00:21:59.31
bullock cart and they sent it
on its way with a very special
00:21:59.35\00:22:03.28
gift next to it to try and
appease God for what they've
00:22:03.32\00:22:07.46
done Do we steal from God?
No. No we don't. Bethany can you
00:22:07.49\00:22:11.59
please read 1 Samuel 6:13-14.
00:22:11.63\00:22:16.80
Now the people of Beth Shemesh
were reaping their wheat harvest
00:22:16.87\00:22:19.50
in the valley and they lifted
their eyes and saw the ark and
00:22:19.53\00:22:22.50
rejoiced to see it. Then
the cart came into the field of
00:22:22.54\00:22:25.44
Joshua of Beth Shemesh and stood
there. A large stone was there
00:22:25.47\00:22:29.41
so they split the wood of
the cart and offered the cows as
00:22:29.44\00:22:32.71
a burnt offering to the Lord.
00:22:32.75\00:22:34.12
So the ark arrived safely back
in Israel. Can you please show
00:22:34.18\00:22:39.05
us Beth Shemesh on the map
Aunt Cecily. There we go. But
00:22:39.09\00:22:42.89
something happened to the
people of Beth Shemesh. Kate,
00:22:42.92\00:22:46.70
can you please
read 1 Samuel 6:19.
00:22:46.73\00:22:50.87
Then He struck the men of Beth
Shemesh because they had looked
00:22:50.90\00:22:56.71
into the ark of the Lord. He
struck 50,070 men of the people
00:22:56.74\00:23:00.98
and the people lamented because
the Lord had struck the people
00:23:01.01\00:23:05.25
with a great slaughter.
00:23:05.28\00:23:07.78
Mmm. Thanks Kate. Very sobering.
Aunt Cecily can you please read
00:23:07.85\00:23:10.42
our Torch Light, Mrs. White's
writings, because she shines
00:23:10.45\00:23:14.02
something very interesting
on that verse that we just read.
00:23:14.06\00:23:17.59
All Israel had been taught to
00:23:17.63\00:23:22.66
regard the ark with awe and
00:23:22.70\00:23:27.67
reverence. When required to
remove it from place to place,
00:23:27.70\00:23:31.47
the Levites were not so much
as to look upon it. Only once a
00:23:31.51\00:23:35.21
year was the high priest
permitted to behold the ark of
00:23:35.24\00:23:40.82
God. Even the heathen
Philistines had no dared to
00:23:40.85\00:23:43.15
remove its coverings. Angels
of heaven, unseen, ever attended
00:23:43.18\00:23:48.56
it in all its journeying's. The
irreverent daring of the people
00:23:48.59\00:23:54.00
of Beth Shemesh was speedily
punished. Many were smitten with
00:23:54.03\00:23:59.43
sudden death.
00:23:59.47\00:24:00.80
Thanks Auntie Cecily. So did the
Israelites know better. They did
00:24:00.84\00:24:04.37
know better. They knew that they
weren't supposed to take the
00:24:04.41\00:24:07.98
blue cloth off the ark of
the covenant. Do you know what,
00:24:08.04\00:24:11.51
even the Philistines who were
their enemies didn't remove that
00:24:11.58\00:24:14.58
covering. But the Israelites
really did commit a great sin
00:24:14.62\00:24:17.55
because they went and took that
cloth off and they even dared to
00:24:17.59\00:24:21.69
open the lid and look in. So God
was not happy with them and they
00:24:21.72\00:24:25.79
suffered some very grave
consequences. Caleb, can you
00:24:25.83\00:24:28.80
please read 1 Samuel 6:20-21.
00:24:28.83\00:24:33.17
And the men of Beth Shemesh said
who is able to stand before this
00:24:33.20\00:24:40.11
holy Lord God and to whom shall
it go up from us. So they sent
00:24:40.14\00:24:46.28
messengers to the inhabitants
of Kirjath Jearim saying the
00:24:46.31\00:24:50.95
Philistines have brought back
the ark of the Lord. Come down
00:24:50.99\00:24:55.62
and take it up with you.
00:24:55.66\00:24:58.33
Thanks Caleb. So the ark goes
to a place called Kirjath Jearim
00:24:58.36\00:25:04.07
Can you point that out. Thank
you Cecily. Thank you boys and
00:25:04.10\00:25:07.90
girls for reading along with us.

So hop on line today at
dwk@3abnaustralia.org.au.
00:25:42.34\00:25:44.11
Thanks Sarah and Nick. Yes, we'd
love to hear from you. Auntie
00:25:44.14\00:25:48.04
Nat can you tell us what we're
going to study in our lesson
00:25:48.11\00:25:51.98
next week.
00:25:52.01\00:25:53.35
Yes. Next Sabbath we're going to
study about kings. Can you find
00:25:53.38\00:25:57.05
out in your Bible who was the
first king of Israel. We look
00:25:57.09\00:26:00.06
forward to studying that with
you next week. Auntie Cecily
00:26:00.09\00:26:02.99
shall we go over
our memory verse.
00:26:03.02\00:26:04.59
Yes. Children can we
read this all together?
00:26:04.63\00:26:07.60
Jeremiah, what did you
learn about the King today?
00:26:20.48\00:26:21.88
To read our Bibles so we
won't be deceived by Satan.
00:26:21.91\00:26:29.02
Yes that's so important. Jesus
wants us all to be in heaven
00:26:29.05\00:26:34.36
with Him. He doesn't want
any of us to stray away and be
00:26:34.39\00:26:38.89
deceived. The Bible truths keep
us connected with Jesus don't
00:26:38.93\00:26:43.20
they. Auntie Nat it's almost
time our worship's come to an
00:26:43.26\00:26:47.50
end.
00:26:47.54\00:26:48.87
Is it that time again. It goes
by so fast. Children are you
00:26:48.90\00:26:51.74
ready to sing the blessing song
to the children at home. Yes.
00:26:51.77\00:26:55.28
Okay, so let's
turn around and do that.
00:26:55.31\00:27:01.22
¤May God bless you and keep you,
And fill your heart with love¤
00:27:01.25\00:27:11.89
¤May God guide and protect
you And watch you from above¤
00:27:11.93\00:27:23.54
¤As Sabbath after Sabbath
We greet the day of rest¤
00:27:23.57\00:27:33.92
