The harvest truly is plenteous,
00:00:01.98\00:00:02.95
but the laborers are few.
00:00:02.96\00:00:03.93
Pray ye therefore,
the Lord of the harvest,
00:00:03.94\00:00:06.32
that he will, he will send forth
00:00:06.33\00:00:08.35
laborers unto this harvest.
00:00:08.36\00:00:10.44
Also, I heard the
voice of the Lord saying,
00:00:10.45\00:00:13.61
"Whom shall I send,
and who will go for us?"
00:00:13.62\00:00:17.87
Then said I, "Here
am I. Send me. Send me!"
00:00:17.88\00:00:23.53
Life on the Edge will
enable you to be an effective
00:00:23.54\00:00:26.07
harvester for the Lord.
00:00:26.08\00:00:27.90
We now invite you
into our classroom
00:00:27.91\00:00:30.14
to come, experience Life.
00:00:30.15\00:00:34.48
Hello, and
welcome you back again
00:00:43.59\00:00:45.45
to the Lay
Institute for Evangelism.
00:00:45.46\00:00:47.43
And today we're going
to be studying the Sabbath.
00:00:47.44\00:00:48.99
I wanna welcome
you people at home
00:00:49.00\00:00:50.56
also back to our classroom here
00:00:50.57\00:00:52.89
in the Lay
Institute for Evangelism.
00:00:52.90\00:00:55.00
Today's study, as we go
through will be about resting.
00:00:55.01\00:00:57.82
And we can all use
some rest right now,
00:00:57.83\00:00:59.20
how about that?
00:00:59.21\00:01:00.43
Yeah, you feel my pain, huh.
00:01:00.44\00:01:01.61
And so you go to the
slide here and see the title
00:01:01.62\00:01:03.75
of the subject
for today the Sabbath,
00:01:03.76\00:01:05.59
abbreviation being
(SB) stands just that's
00:01:05.60\00:01:08.32
what we're gonna
use for the abbreviation
00:01:08.33\00:01:09.54
for the Sabbath as
we go through the study.
00:01:09.55\00:01:11.44
And as we move along
the purpose of the study
00:01:11.45\00:01:13.67
is to show that God
gave us the Sabbath,
00:01:13.68\00:01:16.44
one, one reason
that he gave the Sabbath,
00:01:16.45\00:01:18.57
so we can have a rest.
00:01:18.58\00:01:19.67
But this purpose here is
he, he gave the Sabbath to,
00:01:19.68\00:01:22.74
and we're gonna us to find out
00:01:22.75\00:01:24.07
that the antichrist has
a counterfeit for the rest.
00:01:24.08\00:01:26.57
So the rest, the
Sabbath that God has given us,
00:01:26.58\00:01:29.10
we're gonna, we're
gonna find out that
00:01:29.11\00:01:30.12
antichrist has a
counterfeit to that.
00:01:30.13\00:01:32.18
Now, you remember
we've already studied
00:01:32.19\00:01:33.99
and looked at in the
Bible that every truth that
00:01:34.00\00:01:37.47
God has basically the devil has,
00:01:37.48\00:01:39.00
has developed a
counter, counter truth
00:01:39.01\00:01:41.30
and he's
counteracted it, you know,
00:01:41.31\00:01:42.40
everything that
God has its truth,
00:01:42.41\00:01:43.71
the devil has a
counterfeit for it,
00:01:43.72\00:01:45.05
counterfeit, that's
what I'm looking for.
00:01:45.06\00:01:46.94
And, well, the last
study, over the last two we did,
00:01:46.95\00:01:49.27
we looked at the
antichrist part I and part II
00:01:49.28\00:01:51.08
and that's where
we wrote out in full.
00:01:51.09\00:01:53.29
And usually when you
hear it like Bible studies,
00:01:53.30\00:01:55.49
when you go through
a Bible studies setting
00:01:55.50\00:01:56.77
such as what we were doing.
00:01:56.78\00:01:58.04
It's very rare that
you do a study on like
00:01:58.05\00:01:59.92
the antichrist so
early under the study.
00:01:59.93\00:02:02.21
But it's gonna make
sense as why we did that
00:02:02.22\00:02:03.95
as we go through this study.
00:02:03.96\00:02:05.49
In other words, the
decisions that we're going to be
00:02:05.50\00:02:07.49
making here and through
each study is not based on...
00:02:07.50\00:02:11.37
Okay, you, we
know as we're giving
00:02:11.38\00:02:13.16
a Bible study on the Sabbath.
00:02:13.17\00:02:14.38
It's gonna be, it's gonna
be a versus kind of study,
00:02:14.39\00:02:16.78
like Sabbath versus Sunday.
00:02:16.79\00:02:19.17
And often times in our
study if we make that the issue,
00:02:19.18\00:02:21.67
we want people
to make a decision,
00:02:21.68\00:02:22.88
you know, on Saturday or Sunday.
00:02:22.89\00:02:23.89
Here you gotta
make this decision,
00:02:23.90\00:02:25.33
but what's gonna be the
key part to this decision
00:02:25.34\00:02:27.09
is not Saturday and Sunday.
00:02:27.10\00:02:28.94
But we're gonna
be choosing between
00:02:28.95\00:02:30.42
Jesus Christ and the antichrist.
00:02:30.43\00:02:33.07
And that's how we're
gonna bring this Sabbath study
00:02:33.08\00:02:34.46
about by, by making a
comparison between the two.
00:02:34.47\00:02:36.60
And so we're gonna
show that the antichrist
00:02:36.61\00:02:38.31
obviously has a
counterfeit to the true Sabbath.
00:02:38.32\00:02:40.39
And the sinner part of the study
00:02:40.40\00:02:41.70
as we find our
rest in Jesus Christ,
00:02:41.71\00:02:43.85
who created the Sabbath
for us to spend time with Him.
00:02:43.86\00:02:47.35
So the purpose of the
Sabbath is that we can just take
00:02:47.36\00:02:49.63
that time and
spend it with Lord Jesus.
00:02:49.64\00:02:51.56
You know, what the
devil would have us do.
00:02:51.57\00:02:53.44
He would have us never find
that time to spend with Jesus.
00:02:53.45\00:02:57.45
And so he tries to
do one of two things,
00:02:57.46\00:02:59.22
either get rid of the
Sabbath all together or make it,
00:02:59.23\00:03:02.01
so, so insignificant
that nobody actually keeps it.
00:03:02.02\00:03:04.03
Either way if you're
not, if not obeying God,
00:03:04.04\00:03:06.16
keeping his commandments
and, and keeping that rest
00:03:06.17\00:03:08.72
that he has for us.
00:03:08.73\00:03:09.79
You're still
following the antichrist
00:03:09.80\00:03:11.34
instead of Jesus Christ,
00:03:11.35\00:03:12.42
that's how we're going
to proceed with this study.
00:03:12.43\00:03:14.73
And here is the number
of texts we're gonna have
00:03:14.74\00:03:16.12
is just 12 of
them in this study.
00:03:16.13\00:03:17.69
All though I can be long winded,
00:03:17.70\00:03:19.02
I can make 12 go for a
lot longer than an hour.
00:03:19.03\00:03:21.40
So I have to talk kind
of fast probably one point
00:03:21.41\00:03:23.70
when I realize I'm
falling behind to get
00:03:23.71\00:03:24.81
this done in an hour.
00:03:24.82\00:03:25.81
So, put your hearing
aids on fast forward,
00:03:25.82\00:03:28.04
do whatever you have
to do to keep up, okay?
00:03:28.05\00:03:29.93
So there they are
00:03:29.94\00:03:31.64
is where we'll begin,
we'll end in Isaac 66:22, 23.
00:03:31.65\00:03:34.96
And it's real interesting
I think how this study
00:03:34.97\00:03:36.82
will be broken down?
00:03:36.83\00:03:37.80
And basically I will give
you the overview right now.
00:03:37.81\00:03:40.32
First of all, we
show that the antichrist
00:03:40.33\00:03:41.76
is trying to, to counterfeit it.
00:03:41.77\00:03:43.41
Then we show who
created the Sabbath.
00:03:43.42\00:03:45.06
And we're going to
find out that was Jesus.
00:03:45.07\00:03:46.92
Then we're going to find
out that Jesus kept the Sabbath,
00:03:46.93\00:03:49.27
then we're gonna find
out that Jesus disciples kept
00:03:49.28\00:03:51.64
the Sabbath and
we're gonna find out
00:03:51.65\00:03:52.93
that we'll be keeping
the Sabbath in heaven.
00:03:52.94\00:03:56.98
And it's strange, it's
strange the idea that sometime
00:03:56.99\00:03:59.57
in between Jesus and
the disciples keeping
00:03:59.58\00:04:01.59
the seventh day Sabbath
and then all the way down
00:04:01.60\00:04:04.27
to the second coming of Jesus,
00:04:04.28\00:04:05.56
when we begin to keep it again,
00:04:05.57\00:04:07.01
that there is time in
between, that God says,
00:04:07.02\00:04:08.47
okay, don't worry
about it at that time.
00:04:08.48\00:04:10.02
And that's how
the study will proceed
00:04:10.03\00:04:11.96
to the understanding
that God is consistent,
00:04:11.97\00:04:14.15
he's not the
author of confusion,
00:04:14.16\00:04:15.52
as the Bible tells us.
00:04:15.53\00:04:16.58
But of understanding of
peace, these kind of things.
00:04:16.59\00:04:19.16
So he's not
going to be confusing
00:04:19.17\00:04:20.57
in what he wants
us to do at one point
00:04:20.58\00:04:22.01
and not wanting us to
do at some place else.
00:04:22.02\00:04:23.75
That's how the
study will proceed.
00:04:23.76\00:04:24.89
So, let us go on
right away to the first text
00:04:24.90\00:04:26.72
and it's found in
Daniel Chapter 7 and verse 25,
00:04:26.73\00:04:29.77
Daniel 7:25, I'm
already there in my Bible
00:04:29.78\00:04:34.22
who would like to read that?
00:04:34.23\00:04:35.57
Jessica, can you
read Daniel 7:25 for us?
00:04:35.58\00:04:38.05
When you get there it's
speaking of the antichrist,
00:04:38.06\00:04:41.25
remember we've
already covered the antichrist
00:04:41.26\00:04:43.34
a little
earlier on in our study,
00:04:43.35\00:04:46.04
and that was actually I
believe the study before last.
00:04:46.05\00:04:48.77
The last one was the law of God,
00:04:48.78\00:04:50.06
this one being of Sabbath.
00:04:50.07\00:04:51.30
So, go ahead,
Jessica, Daniel 7:25.
00:04:51.31\00:04:54.09
"And he shall
speak great words against
00:04:54.10\00:04:56.40
the Most High, and
shall wear out the saints of
00:04:56.41\00:04:59.54
the Most High, and think
to change times and laws.
00:04:59.55\00:05:03.95
And they shall be given
into his hand until a time
00:05:03.96\00:05:07.06
and times and a
dividing of time."
00:05:07.07\00:05:09.12
There's a whole lot in
that statement right there,
00:05:09.13\00:05:11.05
this is why we
covered this antichrist,
00:05:11.06\00:05:12.91
Jessica, before,
before we actually got
00:05:12.92\00:05:15.00
to the Sabbath study.
00:05:15.01\00:05:17.19
One of the things that
we brought out the last time
00:05:17.20\00:05:19.08
is he'll do what
concerning God's law.
00:05:19.09\00:05:21.35
He'll think to
change times and laws.
00:05:21.36\00:05:23.93
Now, do you
remember how we decide,
00:05:23.94\00:05:25.15
determined and
when you give the study
00:05:25.16\00:05:26.76
you may have to
remind the person of this.
00:05:26.77\00:05:28.10
You remember how we determined,
00:05:28.11\00:05:29.43
how we know that
this is God's law
00:05:29.44\00:05:30.74
they must be talking about here
00:05:30.75\00:05:31.76
because somebody
could read the text
00:05:31.77\00:05:33.33
and they can
say, well, you know,
00:05:33.34\00:05:34.61
this is as, it says,
right here in the text that
00:05:34.62\00:05:36.79
he will think to
change times and laws.
00:05:36.80\00:05:37.77
Well, that could be any...
00:05:37.78\00:05:38.76
How do you know it's God's law?
00:05:38.77\00:05:39.74
It could be any law, right.
00:05:39.75\00:05:41.22
So, how can we,
how do we determine,
00:05:41.23\00:05:42.58
how can we make sure
that he's definitely speaking
00:05:42.59\00:05:44.31
about God's law.
00:05:44.32\00:05:45.29
And we ask a question like this,
00:05:45.30\00:05:46.79
can the United States change
the laws of United States?
00:05:46.80\00:05:50.36
Sure, they can, right?
00:05:50.37\00:05:51.43
They can change their laws.
00:05:51.44\00:05:52.51
But they can
change the laws of say,
00:05:52.52\00:05:54.27
another country
say, such as Germany.
00:05:54.28\00:05:56.65
And the answer that
we actually come to is,
00:05:56.66\00:05:58.30
yes, they could, if
they conquered them.
00:05:58.31\00:06:01.11
Right, normally they
can't change the laws of that
00:06:01.12\00:06:02.58
country but they
could, theoretically,
00:06:02.59\00:06:04.11
if they went to, they wanted
to change the laws in Germany,
00:06:04.12\00:06:07.26
they'll have to go to
Germany and conquer them
00:06:07.27\00:06:08.80
then they can change
the laws, couldn't they?
00:06:08.81\00:06:10.38
But now could the United
States change the law of God?
00:06:10.39\00:06:13.74
Can they conquer him? No.
00:06:13.75\00:06:15.35
So we can't conquer God,
00:06:15.36\00:06:16.65
so one country
can't change God's laws,
00:06:16.66\00:06:18.32
that, remember, that's how
we come to the understanding.
00:06:18.33\00:06:20.42
So, we know this must
be talking about God's law.
00:06:20.43\00:06:23.29
Can any country,
the Unites States
00:06:23.30\00:06:25.35
or any country
think to change God's law.
00:06:25.36\00:06:28.48
Sure, they can think
they can, they can go up say,
00:06:28.49\00:06:30.09
hey, you know what that,
00:06:30.10\00:06:31.20
that whole
commandment there about,
00:06:31.21\00:06:32.39
about idols or stuff
like that let's just,
00:06:32.40\00:06:33.78
let's get rid of that
00:06:33.79\00:06:34.76
because we like
bowing down to our idols.
00:06:34.77\00:06:35.95
We actually have a program,
00:06:35.96\00:06:37.45
a TV program
called American Idol.
00:06:37.46\00:06:39.45
So we like our idols and we
don't want to get rid of them,
00:06:39.46\00:06:41.80
so let's rid of
that commandment,
00:06:41.81\00:06:42.78
how about that?
00:06:42.79\00:06:43.87
Can they change it?
No, but can they think to?
00:06:43.88\00:06:46.88
Sure, but notice here in
the text again in Chapter,
00:06:46.89\00:06:49.27
in Chapter 7 verse 25, it says,
00:06:49.28\00:06:50.98
he thinks to change
both times and laws.
00:06:50.99\00:06:53.64
Now, when we
cover the antichrist,
00:06:53.65\00:06:54.78
we're kind of spun around the
times thing just a little bit,
00:06:54.79\00:06:56.55
we didn't spend a
whole lot of time on it.
00:06:56.56\00:06:58.04
But are you aware
that there are wanted,
00:06:58.05\00:06:59.63
there is one of God's laws.
00:06:59.64\00:07:01.27
That deal
specifically with time.
00:07:01.28\00:07:03.44
Yes, there is and we'll
look at that in just a minute.
00:07:03.45\00:07:04.77
First of all, we're going
to put a graphic on the screen
00:07:04.78\00:07:06.42
of the Ten Commandment
that you find in the Bible
00:07:06.43\00:07:08.74
and in the Ten
Commandments you will find
00:07:08.75\00:07:11.25
in the Catholic
Catechism, or you know,
00:07:11.26\00:07:13.09
we discovered that
being the antichrist
00:07:13.10\00:07:14.65
as we went through the study.
00:07:14.66\00:07:15.92
And you remember
we looked at this once
00:07:15.93\00:07:17.16
before even in that study,
00:07:17.17\00:07:18.41
and when we get to
the third commandment
00:07:18.42\00:07:20.01
when it says,
in Ten Commandments
00:07:20.02\00:07:21.25
on the left side there.
00:07:21.26\00:07:22.23
Thou shall not
take God's name in vain.
00:07:22.24\00:07:24.13
Then on the right side,
you will see what it says
00:07:24.14\00:07:25.85
remember the Lord's
day to keep it Holy.
00:07:25.86\00:07:28.16
Why is the one about not taking
00:07:28.17\00:07:29.77
God's name in vain there?
00:07:29.78\00:07:30.75
Oh, it is there, it's
actually the second commandment
00:07:30.76\00:07:32.76
on the right side.
00:07:32.77\00:07:34.08
So you can get, you
can get a catechism,
00:07:34.09\00:07:35.34
and open it up,
which they, you know,
00:07:35.35\00:07:36.57
the antichrist power claims
00:07:36.58\00:07:37.68
the tradition
is about the Bible.
00:07:37.69\00:07:39.53
And
Protestants, which most of us
00:07:39.54\00:07:41.27
consider ourselves
right, we're Protestants.
00:07:41.28\00:07:43.25
We consider the Bible
above any tradition, right?
00:07:43.26\00:07:45.99
Traditions are fine as long as
00:07:46.00\00:07:47.57
they don't
contradict the scriptures.
00:07:47.58\00:07:49.71
And so, what we find
here is they've taken out
00:07:49.72\00:07:52.27
the second commandment
about making graven images
00:07:52.28\00:07:54.11
and you know,
why that is, right?
00:07:54.12\00:07:55.78
If you're gonna, if
you're gonna come down
00:07:55.79\00:07:57.27
and kiss a statue on the
foot or pray to a statue,
00:07:57.28\00:08:00.41
or you know, saying
we're not really praying
00:08:00.42\00:08:01.67
to the statue or
praying to what it represents,
00:08:01.68\00:08:02.98
or whatever it is.
00:08:02.99\00:08:03.96
But that's
directly in contrast to what
00:08:03.97\00:08:05.38
the commandment is saying,
so we had to get rid of that.
00:08:05.39\00:08:07.55
You notice that,
that was the change.
00:08:07.56\00:08:09.38
But now look here when we
get to the fourth commandment,
00:08:09.39\00:08:11.22
and what it says in
the Catechism it will say,
00:08:11.23\00:08:13.09
you remember the,
Lord's day to keep it holy
00:08:13.10\00:08:17.02
That's what it
says in the Catechism,
00:08:17.03\00:08:18.79
Mike said, Sabbath
you look on the left side
00:08:18.80\00:08:20.37
in the fourth commandment,
there out in the Bible.
00:08:20.38\00:08:22.50
And it says, remember the
Sabbath day to keep it Holy.
00:08:22.51\00:08:25.58
And so there's
been, there's like a,
00:08:25.59\00:08:27.17
as a change there
in that commandment.
00:08:27.18\00:08:28.88
And as a matter of
fact you're gonna find out
00:08:28.89\00:08:30.46
that they did try to
change that commandment.
00:08:30.47\00:08:33.57
Now, contrast now
we're thinking about,
00:08:33.58\00:08:36.08
first of all, this
being the antichrist.
00:08:36.09\00:08:38.22
That's who we're referring to,
00:08:38.23\00:08:39.28
is the antichrist here, right.
00:08:39.29\00:08:40.46
So, contrasting to the
antichrist we could say
00:08:40.47\00:08:42.50
anytime anybody wants
to do away with God's law
00:08:42.51\00:08:45.10
or change God's law.
00:08:45.11\00:08:46.59
We can apply that to whose work?
00:08:46.60\00:08:49.20
The antichrist, the Bible said,
00:08:49.21\00:08:50.18
that's exactly
what he would try to do,
00:08:50.19\00:08:51.16
he would try to
change times and laws.
00:08:51.17\00:08:52.77
But now, as opposed to
that look what the Bible says
00:08:52.78\00:08:55.68
about the
followers of Jesus Christ.
00:08:55.69\00:08:57.71
And we will find
that in our next slide,
00:08:57.72\00:08:59.13
Revelation Chapter 14 verse 12.
00:08:59.14\00:09:01.44
Revelation 14 verse 12.
00:09:01.45\00:09:03.53
And, Christa, I wanna
ask you to read that for us,
00:09:03.54\00:09:06.79
Revelation Chapter
14, and 12th verse,
00:09:06.80\00:09:12.13
are you ready there?
00:09:12.14\00:09:13.42
Go right ahead.
00:09:13.43\00:09:15.26
Oh, pick up your
microphone, there you go.
00:09:15.27\00:09:18.99
Revelation 14 verse 12.
00:09:19.00\00:09:22.04
"Here is the
patience of the saints.
00:09:22.05\00:09:24.97
Here are those who keep
the commandments of God,
00:09:24.98\00:09:27.74
and the faith of Jesus."
00:09:27.75\00:09:28.88
So, Christa, while you have
00:09:28.89\00:09:30.07
the microphone,
tell me something.
00:09:30.08\00:09:31.70
People that
are, save the saints,
00:09:31.71\00:09:34.23
what is that they,
that the first thing
00:09:34.24\00:09:36.08
that God points out that has
00:09:36.09\00:09:37.75
a special
characteristic that they have?
00:09:37.76\00:09:40.05
The patience. And they do what?
00:09:40.06\00:09:42.36
They keep it the
Commandments of God.
00:09:42.37\00:09:45.67
Which
commandments, do you suppose
00:09:45.68\00:09:46.66
he is talking about, Christa?
00:09:46.67\00:09:47.64
The Ten Commandments.
00:09:47.65\00:09:48.70
The Ten Commandments obviously,
00:09:48.71\00:09:49.68
I mean like let say, oh well,
00:09:49.69\00:09:51.55
the Ten Commandments
were done away with,
00:09:51.56\00:09:52.75
as how many people say,
00:09:52.76\00:09:53.88
they're nailed to the
cross or done away with.
00:09:53.89\00:09:55.25
So what commandments would
this be talking about then?
00:09:55.26\00:09:57.94
Tough question isn't
it, because we don't know.
00:09:57.95\00:09:59.90
And it narrows
it down a whole lot,
00:09:59.91\00:10:01.11
if you can do away
with the Ten Commandments
00:10:01.12\00:10:02.13
and it says the
saints of God are keeping
00:10:02.14\00:10:03.71
the Ten Commandment or
the commandments of God
00:10:03.72\00:10:05.65
and you say, well
the Ten Commandments
00:10:05.66\00:10:06.70
we're done away
with, what commandments
00:10:06.71\00:10:07.92
would this be talking about?
00:10:07.93\00:10:09.53
It only make sense, doesn't it?
00:10:09.54\00:10:10.51
He must be talking
about the Ten Commandments.
00:10:10.52\00:10:12.20
So now, what we
discovered the antichrist power
00:10:12.21\00:10:14.96
will think to change God's law
00:10:14.97\00:10:17.01
times and laws and
he will try to get rid
00:10:17.02\00:10:18.31
of that, that think.
00:10:18.32\00:10:19.61
Then we'll find that
Jesus Christ, his followers,
00:10:19.62\00:10:21.38
the saints of
God will be keeping
00:10:21.39\00:10:23.14
the commandments of God.
00:10:23.15\00:10:24.25
And also you have
another reference,
00:10:24.26\00:10:25.84
you know, where it's
at in the Bible by chance.
00:10:25.85\00:10:27.61
It says almost
exactly the same things
00:10:27.62\00:10:28.99
in Revelation 12:17, right?
00:10:29.00\00:10:31.63
Revelation Chapter 12 verse 17,
00:10:31.64\00:10:33.14
just back a little bit
and it says, the same thing,
00:10:33.15\00:10:35.55
says,
00:10:35.56\00:10:37.24
the dragon was
angry at the woman.
00:10:37.25\00:10:39.06
Now you know who
the dragon represents
00:10:39.07\00:10:40.47
in the Bible prophecy.
00:10:40.48\00:10:41.71
The devil,
00:10:41.72\00:10:43.15
and the women
represents the church,
00:10:43.16\00:10:45.20
Jeremiah 6:2, it's in one place,
00:10:45.21\00:10:46.80
you can reference that.
00:10:46.81\00:10:47.80
And he said, he
makes war with her
00:10:47.81\00:10:49.11
and went to make war
with the reminder of her seed
00:10:49.12\00:10:51.05
which keep the
commandments of God
00:10:51.06\00:10:53.22
and have the testimony of Jesus.
00:10:53.23\00:10:54.21
So, there you go
again, the devil hates her
00:10:54.22\00:10:56.12
because she is
keeping the commandments.
00:10:56.13\00:10:57.90
Well, we know
that the devil inspires
00:10:57.91\00:10:59.30
the antichrist power
to do away with God's law.
00:10:59.31\00:11:01.64
So, you have it time and again,
00:11:01.65\00:11:02.65
in the Bible that God's
people are actually obeying
00:11:02.66\00:11:04.84
the commandments of God.
00:11:04.85\00:11:06.04
All nine of them,
right? No, all ten.
00:11:06.05\00:11:09.11
There's ten of them, right.
00:11:09.12\00:11:11.43
So, we referenced so far
that the antichrist power
00:11:11.44\00:11:14.55
will be trying
to change God's law,
00:11:14.56\00:11:16.47
doing away with, specifically
00:11:16.48\00:11:17.76
the one that deals with
God's time, times and laws.
00:11:17.77\00:11:20.80
And then people of
God will be keeping
00:11:20.81\00:11:22.11
all the Ten Commandments.
00:11:22.12\00:11:23.52
So, which commandment is it?
00:11:23.53\00:11:25.29
This is like
elementary school here,
00:11:25.30\00:11:26.88
so we all have to be
able to get this, right?
00:11:26.89\00:11:28.36
Which commandment is it that has
00:11:28.37\00:11:30.20
cto deal with time directly?
00:11:30.21\00:11:33.02
The Sabbath commandment.
00:11:33.03\00:11:34.04
And we're going to
read that right now.
00:11:34.05\00:11:35.09
Exodus Chapter 20
verse 8 through 11.
00:11:35.10\00:11:37.37
Exodus Chapter 20
verse 8 through 11.
00:11:37.38\00:11:40.80
We'll turn
there Genesis, Exodus,
00:11:40.81\00:11:44.94
let me get there myself,
00:11:44.95\00:11:46.24
20 verse 8 and who
would like to read that one?
00:11:46.25\00:11:52.42
Mike, you want to take that one?
00:11:52.43\00:11:53.41
Exodus Chapter 20
verses 8 through 11.
00:11:53.42\00:12:00.66
Reads, "Remember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy.
00:12:00.67\00:12:03.37
Six days shalt thou
labor and do all thy work,
00:12:03.38\00:12:05.90
but the seventh day is
the Sabbath of the Lord.
00:12:05.91\00:12:08.78
In it thou shall do,
shall not do any work,
00:12:08.79\00:12:11.64
thou nor thy
son, nor thy daughter,
00:12:11.65\00:12:13.99
nor thy manservant,
nor thy maidservant,
00:12:14.00\00:12:16.14
nor thy cattle,
nor the strangers
00:12:16.15\00:12:18.07
that is within thy gates.
00:12:18.08\00:12:20.35
For in six days,
the Lord made the heaven
00:12:20.36\00:12:22.43
and the earth, the sea,
and all that in them is,
00:12:22.44\00:12:25.36
and rested the seventh day.
00:12:25.37\00:12:26.80
Wherefore the Lord blessed
00:12:26.81\00:12:28.07
the Sabbath day
and hallowed it."
00:12:28.08\00:12:29.92
Very good, now there's
something I like to point out
00:12:29.93\00:12:32.74
in this text
when we bring this up.
00:12:32.75\00:12:33.93
This is the only one
in the Ten Commandments
00:12:33.94\00:12:35.85
that deals with God's time.
00:12:35.86\00:12:37.20
Times bring the Sabbath.
00:12:37.21\00:12:39.06
And the law being
the forth commandment,
00:12:39.07\00:12:41.75
isn't it also interesting
that it is the longest
00:12:41.76\00:12:43.64
of the Ten Commandments.
00:12:43.65\00:12:45.14
If you go through and
read the Ten Commandments,
00:12:45.15\00:12:46.22
it has the most words in it.
00:12:46.23\00:12:47.84
It's kind of been
the sinner there right,
00:12:47.85\00:12:48.82
the fourth commandment,
00:12:48.83\00:12:49.80
you go to the fifth you passed,
00:12:49.81\00:12:51.34
there is no sinner of
ten, other than you know,
00:12:51.35\00:12:53.57
between 5 and 6,
00:12:53.58\00:12:55.53
it will be
sinner, but we don't have
00:12:55.54\00:12:56.68
a commandment between 5 and 6.
00:12:56.69\00:12:58.48
Or 4 and 5 well I guess,
this is way I'm doing it.
00:12:58.49\00:13:00.83
There is no sinner of 10, right?
00:13:00.84\00:13:02.19
I'm trying to
figure my math out there,
00:13:02.20\00:13:03.17
I can't figure that out.
00:13:03.18\00:13:04.15
It's in the middle of
the heart of God's law.
00:13:04.16\00:13:05.73
It's the only that
starts with the word, remember.
00:13:05.74\00:13:08.78
But I want to
point out something here.
00:13:08.79\00:13:11.40
We've understood that the
antichrist power will be trying
00:13:11.41\00:13:13.86
to change that law or God's law.
00:13:13.87\00:13:17.79
And in this the only one that
deals with time and he said,
00:13:17.80\00:13:19.63
you will think to
change times and laws.
00:13:19.64\00:13:21.67
Now, some people at
this point, they'll say,
00:13:21.68\00:13:23.19
you know, you know,
I can kind of see that
00:13:23.20\00:13:26.61
like may be, may be
that I used to keep the,
00:13:26.62\00:13:28.24
the seventh day
Sabbath being on Saturday.
00:13:28.25\00:13:30.21
But, you know,
in the New Testament
00:13:30.22\00:13:31.55
we keep Sunday as the Sabbath.
00:13:31.56\00:13:33.36
And we're gonna
address that in more detail
00:13:33.37\00:13:34.50
in a minute, but a point that
00:13:34.51\00:13:35.99
you want to bring out here is,
00:13:36.00\00:13:38.36
can you just pick any day?
00:13:38.37\00:13:40.53
I mean, doesn't the commandment
00:13:40.54\00:13:41.88
in the spirit of
the Law, the spirit of
00:13:41.89\00:13:43.77
the commandment there
is something like this.
00:13:43.78\00:13:45.20
As long as you pick
one day in seven to rest,
00:13:45.21\00:13:46.70
isn't that what it is?
00:13:46.71\00:13:48.28
So, I like the point out
something in the commandment,
00:13:48.29\00:13:50.08
that some people may
overlook just a little bit.
00:13:50.09\00:13:52.81
And I can tell you a story
00:13:52.82\00:13:54.12
if I had time of
a particular case.
00:13:54.13\00:13:57.36
I was involved in
a, in this very thing,
00:13:57.37\00:13:59.32
where someone
was telling me, yeah,
00:13:59.33\00:14:00.63
it just doesn't matter
and I said, sure it matters.
00:14:00.64\00:14:03.63
And they're like no, no, no.
00:14:03.64\00:14:04.69
It just says, remember
the Sabbath to keep it holy.
00:14:04.70\00:14:07.03
I said, well you
know, that's the sign,
00:14:07.04\00:14:08.73
it's out in your front
door, that where it says that,
00:14:08.74\00:14:10.41
remember the
Sabbath, keep it holy.
00:14:10.42\00:14:12.45
But the commandment says,
00:14:12.46\00:14:13.43
and look what
the commandment says.
00:14:13.44\00:14:15.80
As Mike has read, but it
says verse 10 that part of it.
00:14:15.81\00:14:19.96
But the seventh day, which day?
00:14:19.97\00:14:23.54
You know, what word
he used before seventh?
00:14:23.55\00:14:25.63
The. It's a definite article.
00:14:25.64\00:14:28.37
The Seventh day, is The
Sabbath of the Lord thy God.
00:14:28.38\00:14:34.27
So if the commandment says,
00:14:34.28\00:14:36.30
The Seventh day and you can say,
00:14:36.31\00:14:39.45
doesn't really
matter, it can be any day.
00:14:39.46\00:14:41.31
It also says, the Lord thy God.
00:14:41.32\00:14:44.27
So, it can also be any
God and you think about
00:14:44.28\00:14:47.67
what's going on in
our churches today like
00:14:47.68\00:14:49.07
the ecumenical idea,
yes, it is basically.
00:14:49.08\00:14:51.14
Yeah, you can
worship any God on any day
00:14:51.15\00:14:52.63
and everybody
could be just fine.
00:14:52.64\00:14:53.74
But is that what
the Bible teaches?
00:14:53.75\00:14:55.09
No, because the children
of Israel was doing just that.
00:14:55.10\00:14:57.83
And when they was being
like curses put on him from God,
00:14:57.84\00:15:00.53
when they be
worshiping the false Gods
00:15:00.54\00:15:01.81
and things like that.
00:15:01.82\00:15:02.79
So, it's God who
says, I'm a jealous God.
00:15:02.80\00:15:05.33
And I want your
worship for myself,
00:15:05.34\00:15:06.69
that's what the first four
commandments are all about.
00:15:06.70\00:15:08.53
Not only does it
say, The Seventh day,
00:15:08.54\00:15:10.30
the Sabbath, The Seventh day
00:15:10.31\00:15:11.89
and The Lord thy God
and it also says just down
00:15:11.90\00:15:14.34
underneath that what
it says the Lord thy God
00:15:14.35\00:15:17.01
and the seventh day,
00:15:17.02\00:15:18.09
it says, let me
go down to it here.
00:15:18.10\00:15:20.35
For in six days the
Lord made the heaven
00:15:20.36\00:15:22.17
and the earth, the sea
and all that is in them is.
00:15:22.18\00:15:24.12
In other words, the whole idea
00:15:24.13\00:15:26.07
the commandment
shows God as the creator,
00:15:26.08\00:15:29.80
I made everything, I
rested the Seventh day
00:15:29.81\00:15:32.64
and I commanded you
to rest the seventh day,
00:15:32.65\00:15:34.68
and in honor of
worshiping me, he says,
00:15:34.69\00:15:37.98
as God you will keep
the Seventh day Sabbath.
00:15:37.99\00:15:40.09
That's in the
commandment there, right?
00:15:40.10\00:15:42.27
So as we look
at that we find out
00:15:42.28\00:15:43.64
that God's people
are gonna be keeping
00:15:43.65\00:15:44.68
the Ten Commandments.
00:15:44.69\00:15:45.67
And the Lord here says,
00:15:45.68\00:15:46.85
I am the Lord thy
God and you worship me
00:15:46.86\00:15:48.76
on The Seventh day.
00:15:48.77\00:15:50.14
Now, how many days a
week, shall we worship God?
00:15:50.15\00:15:52.86
Every day, but how many
days we keep holy to God.
00:15:52.87\00:15:56.91
Why? Because he
commanded it, exactly right.
00:15:56.92\00:16:00.20
So, this is the
importance of the commandment.
00:16:00.21\00:16:01.60
So, do you understand
right now from this point
00:16:01.61\00:16:04.14
if you were the devil, if
you were the antichrist power
00:16:04.15\00:16:08.04
and you want
people be worshiping you.
00:16:08.05\00:16:09.94
Remember that's what we
learned from the antichrist,
00:16:09.95\00:16:11.53
he wanted people to worship him.
00:16:11.54\00:16:12.54
That's what devil
wanted all way back there
00:16:12.55\00:16:14.40
when you read
about it in Isaiah,
00:16:14.41\00:16:15.48
he says, I, Isaiah Chapter 14,
00:16:15.49\00:16:17.56
I will the Most
High, I will be like God,
00:16:17.57\00:16:19.43
I want his
position, I want his throne,
00:16:19.44\00:16:20.83
remember all that stuff, right?
00:16:20.84\00:16:21.88
If you want to
be worshiped as God,
00:16:21.89\00:16:23.57
what one
commandment which you definitely
00:16:23.58\00:16:24.97
want want to away with.
00:16:24.98\00:16:27.67
The one where you honor
him is the creator, right?
00:16:27.68\00:16:29.24
You want tells you
which God you're worshiping.
00:16:29.25\00:16:31.16
You know, the
other nine commandments,
00:16:31.17\00:16:32.94
you can, you can basically
keep those commandments
00:16:32.95\00:16:35.15
in your mind and
worship any other Gods
00:16:35.16\00:16:37.97
keeping those commandments.
00:16:37.98\00:16:39.32
You can have that
the God of the moon
00:16:39.33\00:16:41.00
and still you
want, you want him first,
00:16:41.01\00:16:42.57
you know, you want all the,
00:16:42.58\00:16:44.38
you don't worshiping every God,
00:16:44.39\00:16:45.52
you don't bow
down to other images,
00:16:45.53\00:16:46.74
you know, those kind of things
00:16:46.75\00:16:47.72
and you keep that God first.
00:16:47.73\00:16:49.07
You don't take his
name in vain, right?
00:16:49.08\00:16:50.47
But when you get to
the Sabbath commandment,
00:16:50.48\00:16:52.14
it tells you which
God you're worshiping.
00:16:52.15\00:16:54.41
The creator God.
00:16:54.42\00:16:55.39
It tells you out of
all the other things
00:16:55.40\00:16:56.45
which God you're worshiping.
00:16:56.46\00:16:57.45
So, can you
understand why the devil
00:16:57.46\00:16:58.85
would want to go
away with this one?
00:16:58.86\00:17:00.30
Can you also
understand what the Bible says,
00:17:00.31\00:17:02.29
this that since his job is
to deceive the whole world.
00:17:02.30\00:17:05.67
And if it's possible, he'll
deceive even the very elect.
00:17:05.68\00:17:08.26
Why he would
just want not to say,
00:17:08.27\00:17:09.58
do away with the
commandment, but change it.
00:17:09.59\00:17:13.08
See, this is the
work of the antichrist,
00:17:13.09\00:17:14.22
to change things,
make it deceptive,
00:17:14.23\00:17:15.37
and that's what's going on.
00:17:15.38\00:17:16.37
Now, let us go now,
what we're gonna find out
00:17:16.38\00:17:18.40
as we move along, as we
progress along in the study,
00:17:18.41\00:17:21.01
we're gonna take look at
00:17:21.02\00:17:22.53
who is it that
created the Sabbath.
00:17:22.54\00:17:25.73
Who created the Sabbath?
00:17:25.74\00:17:26.71
Where did it come from exactly?
00:17:26.72\00:17:27.69
John Chapter 1,
it's on the slide there,
00:17:27.70\00:17:29.48
oh I'm sorry, you
go to John Chapter 1,
00:17:29.49\00:17:32.47
John Chapter 1... And, I made
a mistake on my slides there,
00:17:32.48\00:17:37.72
but I think they can fix that.
00:17:37.73\00:17:38.94
John Chapter 1,
Matthew, Mark, Luke, John
00:17:38.95\00:17:47.08
and we're gonna
read verse 1 to 3
00:17:47.09\00:17:49.35
and then verse 14, Jessica,
will you do that for me?
00:17:49.36\00:17:53.72
John 1, through 3.
00:17:53.73\00:17:55.24
"In the beginning was the Word,
00:17:55.25\00:17:56.87
and the Word was with
God, and the Word was God.
00:17:56.88\00:18:00.14
The same was in
the beginning with God.
00:18:00.15\00:18:02.87
All things were made by
him, and without him was
00:18:02.88\00:18:05.78
not anything
made that was made."
00:18:05.79\00:18:07.71
Go into verse 14.
00:18:07.72\00:18:09.89
"And the Word was made
flesh, and dwell among us,
00:18:09.90\00:18:13.42
and we beheld his glory,
00:18:13.43\00:18:15.20
the glory as of the
only begotten of the Father,
00:18:15.21\00:18:18.75
full of grace and truth."
00:18:18.76\00:18:19.99
Okay, according to the
text we've read, Jessica,
00:18:20.00\00:18:21.63
who is the word? God,
and then that would be Jesus,
00:18:21.64\00:18:26.41
dwelt among us
with the flesh right,
00:18:26.42\00:18:28.05
that's what verse 14
says, he dwelt among us,
00:18:28.06\00:18:30.23
he dwelt in the flesh among us.
00:18:30.24\00:18:31.60
So, speaking now to everyone
of God creating everything,
00:18:31.61\00:18:36.03
who specifically
was it, of the God head
00:18:36.04\00:18:37.73
that done the
creating according to text.
00:18:37.74\00:18:39.69
Jesus the word. So
Jesus created everything.
00:18:39.70\00:18:42.97
Did he also create the Sabbath?
00:18:42.98\00:18:46.10
He created everything else.
00:18:46.11\00:18:47.16
Let's find out if he
also created the Sabbath.
00:18:47.17\00:18:48.66
Genesis Chapter 1, verse 31,
00:18:48.67\00:18:52.18
Genesis Chapter 1, verse 31,
00:18:52.19\00:18:53.37
we found out in
the book of John that
00:18:53.38\00:18:55.10
Jesus come in the flesh.
00:18:55.11\00:18:56.65
He created everything,
he is the one responsible
00:18:56.66\00:18:59.37
for creating everything
and what we're gonna find out
00:18:59.38\00:19:00.95
now is, Kaitlin is
going to read for us,
00:19:00.96\00:19:02.65
Genesis Chapter 1 verse 31,
00:19:02.66\00:19:04.33
is that he also
created the Sabbath.
00:19:04.34\00:19:07.23
All right, Kaitlin,
when you read verse 31,
00:19:07.24\00:19:08.95
read it all the way down
through verse 3 of Chapter 2,
00:19:08.96\00:19:11.30
read it straight
on through, okay.
00:19:11.31\00:19:13.40
"And God saw every
thing that he had made,
00:19:13.41\00:19:16.27
and behold, it was very good.
00:19:16.28\00:19:18.25
And the evening and the
morning were the sixth day.
00:19:18.26\00:19:21.49
Thus the heavens and
the earth were finished,
00:19:21.50\00:19:23.44
and all the host of them.
00:19:23.45\00:19:25.96
And on the seventh
day God ended his work
00:19:25.97\00:19:27.95
which he had made, and
he rested on the seventh day
00:19:27.96\00:19:31.26
from all his
work, which he had made.
00:19:31.27\00:19:33.90
And God blessed the
seventh day and sanctified it.
00:19:33.91\00:19:37.06
Because that in it he
had rested from all his work
00:19:37.07\00:19:40.07
which God had created and made."
00:19:40.08\00:19:42.37
Very good, now according
to what we read in John,
00:19:42.38\00:19:44.36
that the Jessica read for us,
00:19:44.37\00:19:45.75
who is one that
done this creating here?
00:19:45.76\00:19:48.30
Jesus himself, specifically
Jesus himself right,
00:19:48.31\00:19:50.44
the word made flesh and
dwelt among us and said,
00:19:50.45\00:19:52.14
he was the one
that done the creating.
00:19:52.15\00:19:54.32
Okay, Jesus done the
creating and it says here
00:19:54.33\00:19:56.65
that on the seventh day.
00:19:56.66\00:19:58.62
Now on the other
six days of the week,
00:19:58.63\00:20:01.74
God would create a day
00:20:01.75\00:20:03.30
and then he would
fill it with something.
00:20:03.31\00:20:05.36
Right, every time he
would create something,
00:20:05.37\00:20:06.91
he would create
something physical,
00:20:06.92\00:20:08.93
you know, on those
days and each day he,
00:20:08.94\00:20:10.84
there will be
something physically
00:20:10.85\00:20:11.82
that would take place.
00:20:11.83\00:20:12.80
What physically took
place on the seventh day?
00:20:12.81\00:20:15.01
What did he make?
00:20:15.02\00:20:15.99
What did he make on
the seventh day, Christa,
00:20:16.00\00:20:17.01
I want to pick on you again?
00:20:17.02\00:20:17.99
What did God
make on a seventh day?
00:20:18.00\00:20:19.37
Pick up your microphone there.
00:20:19.38\00:20:21.04
Tell me what he
made on the seventh day?
00:20:21.05\00:20:22.70
He didn't make anything.
00:20:22.71\00:20:23.76
He didn't make
anything, that's exactly right.
00:20:23.77\00:20:25.46
And so what you find here
is he didn't make anything,
00:20:25.47\00:20:27.71
all he did was rest.
00:20:27.72\00:20:30.03
Now, there is something that
00:20:30.04\00:20:31.13
that I find was very
fascinating in our world,
00:20:31.14\00:20:34.33
is whenever we think of the
way the world works right now,
00:20:34.34\00:20:37.46
in our world right now.
00:20:37.47\00:20:39.30
We're in a world, why
do we have a 365 roughly,
00:20:39.31\00:20:43.68
365 day year,
why do we have that?
00:20:43.69\00:20:45.55
365 and a quarter because
we have the leap year, right.
00:20:45.56\00:20:48.21
But why do have
a 365 day a year?
00:20:48.22\00:20:51.88
It's exactly how
long it takes back,
00:20:51.89\00:20:53.09
you got the earth setting
here, the sun setting here
00:20:53.10\00:20:55.01
and the earth goes
around it and it takes 365 days
00:20:55.02\00:20:57.94
to a full season
around the earth,
00:20:57.95\00:20:58.95
round the sun,
you knew that, right?
00:20:58.96\00:21:00.32
Okay, so that's why we
have a calendar set up that way.
00:21:00.33\00:21:02.72
Why do have say it
like a 30 day a month.
00:21:02.73\00:21:05.47
Thirty day, 28
some, 31 others right,
00:21:05.48\00:21:07.23
but we have a 30
day month, why is that?
00:21:07.24\00:21:09.40
That's how long it
takes the moon to rotate
00:21:09.41\00:21:10.95
around the earth, right?
00:21:10.96\00:21:12.88
Why do have a 24 hour day?
00:21:12.89\00:21:15.44
That's how long it
takes the earth to spin
00:21:15.45\00:21:16.96
one time of its axis,
it spins one time around
00:21:16.97\00:21:18.65
own its axis in 24 hours,
moving pretty fast, right?
00:21:18.66\00:21:21.64
But where in the sun,
moon or stars do we get
00:21:21.65\00:21:25.80
a seven day week?
00:21:25.81\00:21:28.00
It's nowhere, you don't find
anything in the solar system,
00:21:28.01\00:21:30.01
anything, any moments of
the bodies of the solar system
00:21:30.02\00:21:33.88
anything moving that
gives a seven day a week.
00:21:33.89\00:21:35.93
The only place you find
it is in the Hebrew Bible,
00:21:35.94\00:21:39.53
the Christian Bible
that says that God created
00:21:39.54\00:21:42.00
everything in six days
and rested the seventh day.
00:21:42.01\00:21:44.06
And it's funny because
even in like communist China,
00:21:44.07\00:21:46.93
even in other countries
that don't claim there is,
00:21:46.94\00:21:48.48
there it is no God,
you know, or they don't,
00:21:48.49\00:21:50.68
they don't hold up
the same God you and I do.
00:21:50.69\00:21:52.29
Guess how many days
they have in their week?
00:21:52.30\00:21:54.35
Seven, isn't that fascinating?
00:21:54.36\00:21:56.04
It only comes from one
place, in the beginning God.
00:21:56.05\00:21:59.24
And so God here says, now
I created the seven day week
00:21:59.25\00:22:02.16
and for the skeptic it say,
00:22:02.17\00:22:03.45
well I don't really
believe he did in seven days.
00:22:03.46\00:22:05.07
Then why do you
keep a seven day week?
00:22:05.08\00:22:07.12
Because the rest of
the world does, why?
00:22:07.13\00:22:09.99
It's very good to
think about, isn't it?
00:22:10.00\00:22:11.17
I mean, even, even
devout evolutionists,
00:22:11.18\00:22:13.60
the denying of
God altogether say,
00:22:13.61\00:22:16.70
they keep a seven day week.
00:22:16.71\00:22:17.80
I mean, like okay, what are
you going to do this weekend?
00:22:17.81\00:22:19.83
You'll say to them.
00:22:19.84\00:22:20.91
Well, I'm going to
do this, this week end,
00:22:20.92\00:22:22.51
you know, like how do
they know what the weekend is?
00:22:22.52\00:22:27.22
Because we have
a seven day week.
00:22:27.23\00:22:28.70
And they know
when, when we're all,
00:22:28.71\00:22:29.85
when we're all
referring to the weekend,
00:22:29.86\00:22:30.99
we're all referring to
the same couple of days
00:22:31.00\00:22:33.10
cat the end of the
first day of the next week.
00:22:33.11\00:22:34.67
You know, because we
know that from the Bible
00:22:34.68\00:22:36.09
that Saturday is the seventh day
00:22:36.10\00:22:37.16
and Sunday is the first day,
00:22:37.17\00:22:38.14
and we'll prove that
from Bible as we go along.
00:22:38.15\00:22:39.84
But it's
fascinating that the whole world
00:22:39.85\00:22:41.25
recognizes that, isn't that?
00:22:41.26\00:22:43.13
But look what God
did on that seventh day,
00:22:43.14\00:22:45.43
on sixth day he
created everything,
00:22:45.44\00:22:46.84
he finished creating, he create,
00:22:46.85\00:22:47.82
what was his
crowning act of creation.
00:22:47.83\00:22:50.25
You, me, us, that was
his crowing act of was us.
00:22:50.26\00:22:55.23
But what did he
create on the seventh day,
00:22:55.24\00:22:57.75
he gave us a day to rest.
00:22:57.76\00:23:01.48
And we're going to find out
00:23:01.49\00:23:02.46
that Sabbath was made for a man.
00:23:02.47\00:23:05.26
Sabbath was made
for us, a day of rest
00:23:05.27\00:23:07.95
because he knew we need it.
00:23:07.96\00:23:09.48
Do we ever sometimes, right.
00:23:09.49\00:23:10.87
All right, and so as
we go along through here,
00:23:10.88\00:23:12.43
look what he says
about the seventh day,
00:23:12.44\00:23:13.83
and verse two says
on the seventh day God
00:23:13.84\00:23:15.30
ended his work,
which he made and he rested
00:23:15.31\00:23:17.56
because he was tired?
00:23:17.57\00:23:19.48
Like God says, whoa, man,
00:23:19.49\00:23:20.87
I've been crazed up all week,
00:23:20.88\00:23:22.17
I'm so weary, I gotta quit.
00:23:22.18\00:23:24.35
You think that's what happened?
00:23:24.36\00:23:25.71
I mean it says
he rested, it wasn't
00:23:25.72\00:23:27.96
because he was tired, it
was because he was giving
00:23:27.97\00:23:29.43
his followers an example.
00:23:29.44\00:23:31.56
And then the Bible
says this about it,
00:23:31.57\00:23:33.22
God blessed the seventh day.
00:23:33.23\00:23:35.12
When did God
bless the seventh day?
00:23:35.13\00:23:37.22
At Mount Sinai, right?
00:23:37.23\00:23:38.68
When he gave the
Ten Commandments,
00:23:38.69\00:23:39.67
that's when he blessed it.
00:23:39.68\00:23:40.73
No, according to the
Bible he blessed it all
00:23:40.74\00:23:42.03
the way back in creation.
00:23:42.04\00:23:43.32
Now, I heard some people
with their higher criticism,
00:23:43.33\00:23:45.55
the critics you
know, we've been studying
00:23:45.56\00:23:47.02
hermeneutics here
at LIFE and though
00:23:47.03\00:23:49.36
I've been interpreting
the Bible they'll say,
00:23:49.37\00:23:50.69
who wrote the book of Genesis?
00:23:50.70\00:23:53.19
Moses, well, Moses was a Hebrew
00:23:53.20\00:23:55.39
and he was just
saying, well this is the reason
00:23:55.40\00:23:56.81
why God gave us the Ten
Commandments on Mount Sinai.
00:23:56.82\00:23:59.71
Well, if he start picking
the Bible apart like that,
00:23:59.72\00:24:01.10
you might as well throw it away
00:24:01.11\00:24:02.08
and quit calling
yourself a Christian.
00:24:02.09\00:24:03.64
The Bible says that God blessed
00:24:03.65\00:24:05.95
the seventh day back in Genesis.
00:24:05.96\00:24:08.74
What the Bible says,
God blessed the seventh day
00:24:08.75\00:24:11.85
and he sanctified it.
00:24:11.86\00:24:12.83
What's the word sanctified mean?
00:24:12.84\00:24:15.32
Not only make it holy, but
to set apart for a Holy use.
00:24:15.33\00:24:19.18
So, he set a day apart
for our holy use himself.
00:24:19.19\00:24:22.61
Now I preached this
sermon called holy flesh
00:24:22.62\00:24:25.26
and it's taken
out of the book Haggai
00:24:25.27\00:24:27.51
in the Old
Testament there, in Chapter 2.
00:24:27.52\00:24:29.13
And starting in verse
11 through 13 and a priest,
00:24:29.14\00:24:31.43
God talking to Haggai says,
ask the priest concerning law.
00:24:31.44\00:24:34.95
If he is carrying some
holy flesh in his garment.
00:24:34.96\00:24:37.46
And he touches something.
00:24:37.47\00:24:38.76
Because if you touch holy flesh,
00:24:38.77\00:24:40.06
that means like
the sacrifice is holy,
00:24:40.07\00:24:42.14
you know, and if you
touch that holy flesh yourself
00:24:42.15\00:24:44.24
you become holy.
00:24:44.25\00:24:45.70
But if the priest after
becoming holy after touching
00:24:45.71\00:24:47.53
that flesh touches,
like say this table,
00:24:47.54\00:24:49.43
this podium thing here,
does that podium become holy?
00:24:49.44\00:24:51.81
And he says, no.
00:24:51.82\00:24:53.03
Because mankind has no
power to make anything holy.
00:24:53.04\00:24:55.97
Only, only that flesh
we're talking about there
00:24:55.98\00:24:59.37
is a
representation of Jesus Christ.
00:24:59.38\00:25:01.35
Only he can make something Holy,
00:25:01.36\00:25:02.69
he creates everything, right?
00:25:02.70\00:25:03.78
So, it's him that
makes something holy,
00:25:03.79\00:25:05.37
he blesses the seventh day here
00:25:05.38\00:25:07.40
in Genesis Chapter 2
in verse 3, he blessed it.
00:25:07.41\00:25:10.88
Now, I've spend a
lot of time on this.
00:25:10.89\00:25:11.99
I do this when I give a Bible
study or anything else too,
00:25:12.00\00:25:13.95
because the person
has to understand that
00:25:13.96\00:25:16.12
as many people will say, hey,
00:25:16.13\00:25:17.66
the Sabbath that was
just for the Jews, right?
00:25:17.67\00:25:21.46
How many Jews
were around in Genesis?
00:25:21.47\00:25:26.85
They were none,
right, who was the first Jew?
00:25:26.86\00:25:29.96
It wasn't until the
time of Abraham, right?
00:25:29.97\00:25:32.10
Abraham, Isaac,
and Jacob, you know,
00:25:32.11\00:25:33.99
whose name become Israel right.
00:25:34.00\00:25:35.90
He went from deceiver to Israel.
00:25:35.91\00:25:37.56
Those were the first
what we would we call Jews.
00:25:37.57\00:25:39.54
There were no Jews
when God first created
00:25:39.55\00:25:41.41
the seventh day and blessed it.
00:25:41.42\00:25:43.27
So, what we find
out we're just using
00:25:43.28\00:25:45.15
the book of Genesis is
that God specifically set aside
00:25:45.16\00:25:48.19
the seventh day and rested on it
00:25:48.20\00:25:49.62
and commanded us to do the same.
00:25:49.63\00:25:51.03
He set it aside for a holy use.
00:25:51.04\00:25:53.59
Now, many people
will say oh, yeah,
00:25:53.60\00:25:55.80
but that was, that
was only for the Jews.
00:25:55.81\00:25:58.02
Let's find out what Jesus
has to say about that himself.
00:25:58.03\00:26:00.48
Mark Chapter 2 verse 27 and 28.
00:26:00.49\00:26:03.25
Mark Chapter 2 verse 27 and 28.
00:26:03.26\00:26:10.02
And Gloria, Miss Gloria,
you wanna read that one for us?
00:26:10.03\00:26:16.29
Everybody there needs to
be there, I am, go ahead...
00:26:16.30\00:26:23.07
"And he said to them,
The Sabbath was made for man,
00:26:23.08\00:26:27.81
and not man for the Sabbath.
00:26:27.82\00:26:30.28
Therefore the Son of man is
also the Lord of the Sabbath."
00:26:30.29\00:26:34.47
Miss Gloria, I
hate to correct you.
00:26:34.48\00:26:36.62
No, no, you gave the right text,
00:26:36.63\00:26:38.03
but I thank you read
it from a bad translation
00:26:38.04\00:26:39.52
or something,
because I think it should say
00:26:39.53\00:26:41.14
the Sabbath was
made for the Jews
00:26:41.15\00:26:42.48
and not Jews for the Sabbath.
00:26:42.49\00:26:43.64
Doesn't yours say that?
00:26:43.65\00:26:45.42
Yours doesn't say
that, oh so your says man,
00:26:45.43\00:26:47.77
that's what mine says
too actually, it says man.
00:26:47.78\00:26:50.45
Yeah, and the reason you
want to pin point this out.
00:26:50.46\00:26:52.96
That Jesus is here
speaking, and he is creator,
00:26:52.97\00:26:54.92
the one who created everything.
00:26:54.93\00:26:55.98
And they was giving
him a hard time saying,
00:26:55.99\00:26:57.42
you know, you
messed up on the Sabbath,
00:26:57.43\00:26:58.87
they're trying to accuse
him of breaking the Sabbath.
00:26:58.88\00:27:00.45
And he's simply
pointing them to the whole idea,
00:27:00.46\00:27:02.08
you know, what?
00:27:02.09\00:27:03.06
Sabbath wasn't made, or he
says Sabbath was made for man.
00:27:03.07\00:27:07.19
In other words, it
was made for mankind,
00:27:07.20\00:27:08.70
it was made for you,
not you for the Sabbath.
00:27:08.71\00:27:11.98
In other words,
the Sabbath is there
00:27:11.99\00:27:13.40
for a blessing to mankind.
00:27:13.41\00:27:16.14
Now, to some people I
admit that Sabbath is not
00:27:16.15\00:27:18.53
a blessing to them,
because they've got a lot
00:27:18.54\00:27:20.32
of worldly things they
need to be doing on the Sabbath.
00:27:20.33\00:27:21.88
You know, they got,
00:27:21.89\00:27:22.86
they got to do
their grocery shopping
00:27:22.87\00:27:24.13
and they got to go
to their ball games.
00:27:24.14\00:27:25.47
And they got
to, maybe, you know,
00:27:25.48\00:27:26.68
go run here and run
there and they got to do on,
00:27:26.69\00:27:28.43
a lot of things they need
to be doing on the Sabbath.
00:27:28.44\00:27:30.13
So the Sabbath
to them would be not
00:27:30.14\00:27:31.50
a blessing but a burden.
00:27:31.51\00:27:33.80
That Jesus himself was
trying to set us straight,
00:27:33.81\00:27:35.27
if you're a follower
of him, who did he say,
00:27:35.28\00:27:37.04
the Sabbath will made for?
00:27:37.05\00:27:39.14
For you. If
you're following him.
00:27:39.15\00:27:41.27
That Sabbath is made for you.
00:27:41.28\00:27:42.99
And so we found out, Jesus
was the creator of everything
00:27:43.00\00:27:46.37
and we're
gonna, and we found out
00:27:46.38\00:27:47.84
that he even
created the Sabbath.
00:27:47.85\00:27:49.31
And now we're going to find out,
00:27:49.32\00:27:50.40
not only did he
create the Sabbath,
00:27:50.41\00:27:51.95
but Jesus
himself kept the Sabbath.
00:27:51.96\00:27:55.84
Jesus kept the Sabbath,
here we find out he says
00:27:55.85\00:27:57.80
it was made for man, him
being a man himself would have,
00:27:57.81\00:28:00.18
would have, when
he come in the flesh,
00:28:00.19\00:28:01.96
he would have kept it too if
he wanted us to keep it right?
00:28:01.97\00:28:04.27
Did he keep it?
Let us look at it.
00:28:04.28\00:28:06.51
Let us go to the next
text, it's on the slide here.
00:28:06.52\00:28:08.20
Luke Chapter 4 and
verse 16, Luke Chapter 4,
00:28:08.21\00:28:11.71
Matthew, Mark and Luke,
still the New Testament,
00:28:11.72\00:28:15.52
Chapter 4 and
verse 16, Miss Danielle,
00:28:15.53\00:28:20.56
not really Miss
Danielle, that's her first name,
00:28:20.57\00:28:22.08
but you wanna read
that for us, Luke 4:16.
00:28:22.09\00:28:24.87
Sure, "And He came to Nazareth,
00:28:24.88\00:28:27.00
where He had been brought
up, and as His custom was,
00:28:27.01\00:28:29.24
He went to the
synagogue on the Sabbath day,
00:28:29.25\00:28:31.55
and stood up for to read."
00:28:31.56\00:28:33.06
Why did Jesus go
to the synagogue?
00:28:33.07\00:28:36.05
To stand up to read, what
do you suppose he was reading?
00:28:36.06\00:28:38.02
Why did he go, I
say why did he go,
00:28:38.03\00:28:39.24
I'm sorry, you're
missing the table.
00:28:39.25\00:28:40.26
It was his custom...
00:28:40.27\00:28:41.24
Yeah, and you know,
what he was reading?
00:28:41.25\00:28:42.27
When, according to what
we follow along to there.
00:28:42.28\00:28:43.91
He read from the book of Isaiah.
00:28:43.92\00:28:46.22
So, he was reading the
Bible in the synagogue.
00:28:46.23\00:28:49.13
Why was Jesus in the
synagogue on the Sabbath?
00:28:49.14\00:28:51.81
Come on, give me
the answer, somebody?
00:28:51.82\00:28:56.12
Because he was keeping it holy,
00:28:56.13\00:28:57.22
cbecause it was
his custom, right.
00:28:57.23\00:28:59.11
He was there to reach the Jews,
00:28:59.12\00:29:01.17
he wasn't there to
worship or anything,
00:29:01.18\00:29:02.54
he was there just to
reach the Jews, right.
00:29:02.55\00:29:04.75
No, that's wrong.
00:29:04.76\00:29:06.85
I mean, that's like an
argument that comes up,
00:29:06.86\00:29:08.01
but I want you
to think about it.
00:29:08.02\00:29:09.11
Did Jesus really care about
the traditions of the Jews?
00:29:09.12\00:29:11.43
No, as a matter of
fact you can read quite
00:29:11.44\00:29:13.01
a few places in the
Bible where Jesus pretty much
00:29:13.02\00:29:15.26
slammed the Jews
for their traditions.
00:29:15.27\00:29:16.56
For when you
worship me in vain, right,
00:29:16.57\00:29:19.36
he's talking about you
worship God in vain by keeping,
00:29:19.37\00:29:21.46
for teaching for doctrine
the commandments of men.
00:29:21.47\00:29:24.84
I paraphrase it
just a little bit,
00:29:24.85\00:29:26.02
but you know what the text is,
00:29:26.03\00:29:27.01
you can reference it, right.
00:29:27.02\00:29:28.82
You worship me in
vain, because you're keeping
00:29:28.83\00:29:31.61
the commandments of men.
00:29:31.62\00:29:32.88
So does he care about
the traditions of the Jews,
00:29:32.89\00:29:35.41
no, no, if Jesus didn't
think the Sabbath was important,
00:29:35.42\00:29:38.68
it was just a Jewish
tradition, you know, what?
00:29:38.69\00:29:40.06
He would have said,
00:29:40.07\00:29:41.36
you guys you shouldn't be
keeping the Sabbath, stop it.
00:29:41.37\00:29:44.85
He called them out
all the other places,
00:29:44.86\00:29:46.05
why would he changed there.
00:29:46.06\00:29:47.32
But he created the
Sabbath, he made it for us,
00:29:47.33\00:29:50.70
he made it for them and he...
00:29:50.71\00:29:51.77
as it says in the
Bible, his custom.
00:29:51.78\00:29:54.40
Now you know what a custom is,
00:29:54.41\00:29:56.91
csomething you do regularly.
00:29:56.92\00:29:58.21
You know,
something you regularly do.
00:29:58.22\00:30:00.26
And if it's
something you regularly do
00:30:00.27\00:30:01.45
then Jesus
apparently had been doing it
00:30:01.46\00:30:02.94
long before this time as well.
00:30:02.95\00:30:04.70
So, the custom of
the Jesus was to keep
00:30:04.71\00:30:07.63
seventh day Sabbath,
he went into the synagogue
00:30:07.64\00:30:09.62
and worshiped
on the seventh day.
00:30:09.63\00:30:11.61
Now, we're gonna
continue on now we found out
00:30:11.62\00:30:13.53
that Jesus himself kept
the seventh day Sabbath.
00:30:13.54\00:30:16.85
We know that he, we
know that Jesus taught
00:30:16.86\00:30:18.92
and believed that the
Sabbath was on Saturday
00:30:18.93\00:30:21.07
and we'll find
that out as we go along,
00:30:21.08\00:30:22.53
being a Jew himself.
00:30:22.54\00:30:23.89
But what about... oh,
00:30:23.90\00:30:26.98
we got to continue
on morale, I'm sorry.
00:30:26.99\00:30:29.44
It's okay, Luke Chapter 23,
00:30:29.45\00:30:32.62
which day is the
Sabbath that's the question
00:30:32.63\00:30:34.29
we got to find out.
00:30:34.30\00:30:36.07
Jesus kept the Sabbath
that what we find out here,
00:30:36.08\00:30:38.28
Jesus created the
Sabbath, we realize that.
00:30:38.29\00:30:40.00
But many people will
say, now wait a minute,
00:30:40.01\00:30:41.24
wait a minute, how do we know
00:30:41.25\00:30:43.08
that Sabbath is on Saturday?
00:30:43.09\00:30:45.45
And you can say,
well look at a calendar,
00:30:45.46\00:30:47.12
well let me tell you something,
00:30:47.13\00:30:48.24
calenders have been changing.
00:30:48.25\00:30:49.83
I'm studying right now Spanish,
00:30:49.84\00:30:51.11
I study regularly and I got
00:30:51.12\00:30:53.04
that program
called Rosetta Stone.
00:30:53.05\00:30:54.54
Can I give them a
commercial right here?
00:30:54.55\00:30:56.01
It's a bad commercial, because
when studying Rosetta Stone,
00:30:56.02\00:30:59.83
it was come up in a,
I'm studying the days
00:30:59.84\00:31:01.88
of the week right now,
00:31:01.89\00:31:02.92
I'm studying the days of
the week and so el sábado
00:31:02.93\00:31:06.80
is the first day of
the week in Rosetta Stone.
00:31:06.81\00:31:09.19
And it got me confused at first,
00:31:09.20\00:31:10.49
because it
would pop up first day
00:31:10.50\00:31:11.50
of the week and say,
okay, what day is this?
00:31:11.51\00:31:12.82
And I would say, domingo,
00:31:12.83\00:31:15.07
Sunday right and
it would say err,
00:31:15.08\00:31:17.21
it would give a
little thing like wrong.
00:31:17.22\00:31:18.51
You know, I say, come
on, come on first day of
00:31:18.52\00:31:20.12
the week is domingo
and it would say sabado.
00:31:20.13\00:31:22.76
Because in this, in this
program it actually has it
00:31:22.77\00:31:25.52
as Saturday being
the first day of the week
00:31:25.53\00:31:27.93
and Sunday being the
seventh day of the week.
00:31:27.94\00:31:30.06
So, if sometimes
some of the references are
00:31:30.07\00:31:31.90
like all mixed
up, but old calendars,
00:31:31.91\00:31:33.90
no more calendars,
even calendars today
00:31:33.91\00:31:35.19
for the most part
still have Saturday
00:31:35.20\00:31:36.43
as the seventh day of the week.
00:31:36.44\00:31:37.41
But that we can't just go about
00:31:37.42\00:31:38.47
the things of the world, right?
00:31:38.48\00:31:40.09
We had to also be
looking at what like,
00:31:40.10\00:31:43.39
how do we know, how
do we know that Saturday
00:31:43.40\00:31:44.72
is the seventh day.
00:31:44.73\00:31:45.70
Let me just put it that way.
00:31:45.71\00:31:46.68
We can't, definitely can't go
to Rosetta Stone and ask them.
00:31:46.69\00:31:48.53
But, look at Luke Chapter 23,
00:31:48.73\00:31:52.05
now I like to ask
you people this way
00:31:52.06\00:31:53.24
first as we're turning there...
00:31:53.25\00:31:54.23
when I'm giving a Bible study
00:31:54.43\00:31:55.53
or when you're
preaching it or whatever.
00:31:55.54\00:31:57.15
Most of the time
the people don't realize
00:31:57.16\00:31:58.95
where you're going
to with this next text
00:31:58.96\00:32:00.48
and they're not,
they're not catching on.
00:32:00.49\00:32:01.64
So, I would like
to ask it this way,
00:32:01.65\00:32:02.89
before I read the
text I ask this question,
00:32:02.90\00:32:05.14
here is the question.
00:32:05.15\00:32:06.48
What day did Jesus die on?
00:32:06.49\00:32:09.18
Nine out of ten
people, not everybody will say,
00:32:09.19\00:32:11.67
we call it Good Friday, right.
00:32:11.68\00:32:14.42
I don't know what's so
good about Jesus dying,
00:32:14.43\00:32:15.91
but that's what it is
called Good Friday, right.
00:32:15.92\00:32:18.17
And then we will say what
day did Jesus rise on Easter,
00:32:18.18\00:32:22.32
they will say, Easter Sunday,
00:32:22.33\00:32:23.77
won't they say
that, Easter Sunday.
00:32:23.78\00:32:24.91
That's what they will say
00:32:24.92\00:32:26.31
and then they go
around hiding eggs
00:32:26.32\00:32:28.72
or that kind of
nonsense like that,
00:32:28.73\00:32:30.15
which had
nothing to do with Jesus
00:32:30.16\00:32:31.19
death, burial, and resurrection.
00:32:31.20\00:32:32.59
But that we have an
agreement with the majority
00:32:32.60\00:32:34.93
of the people you'll study with,
00:32:34.94\00:32:36.18
they'll agree that
Jesus died on Friday
00:32:36.19\00:32:38.64
and rose on Sunday.
00:32:38.65\00:32:40.15
No problems there right.
00:32:40.16\00:32:41.16
Now, I'll take
them to the Bible,
00:32:41.17\00:32:43.45
we'll take them to the
Bible, Luke Chapter 23 verse 58,
00:32:43.46\00:32:46.18
53 rather through Luke 24:3,
00:32:46.19\00:32:48.75
and here something to
keep in mind too is that
00:32:48.76\00:32:51.53
when the Bible was written,
00:32:51.54\00:32:52.79
it didn't have
Chapter and verse divisions.
00:32:52.80\00:32:54.38
So, it would be
just straight through.
00:32:54.39\00:32:55.80
And Aletta, would
you read that for us.
00:32:55.81\00:33:00.09
"And he took it down,
and wrapped it in linen,
00:33:00.10\00:33:02.59
and laid it in a sepulchre,
that was hewn in stone,
00:33:02.60\00:33:08.34
wherein never
man before was laid.
00:33:08.35\00:33:11.29
In that day was the preparation,
00:33:11.30\00:33:13.91
and the Sabbath drew on."
00:33:13.92\00:33:15.14
Let me stop you
there just for a second.
00:33:15.15\00:33:16.50
Okay, that day that
Jesus, they took his body down,
00:33:16.51\00:33:20.04
they took his body down
and put it in the sepulchre,
00:33:20.05\00:33:22.52
that day was called the, what?
00:33:22.53\00:33:24.22
Preparation day. Yeah,
it's funnier... Aletta.
00:33:24.23\00:33:27.40
It's funny Aletta,
there's only two days
00:33:27.41\00:33:28.97
named in the Bible, do you know,
00:33:28.98\00:33:29.95
what two days they
are, actually have a name?
00:33:29.96\00:33:33.23
Yes. Yeah.
00:33:33.24\00:33:34.33
The preparation day
and the Sabbath day.
00:33:34.34\00:33:36.11
The rest them is
called one, two three, four,
00:33:36.12\00:33:37.61
five preparation Sabbath.
00:33:37.62\00:33:39.46
So, right here this
is the preparation day
00:33:39.47\00:33:41.49
and the Sabbath drew on.
00:33:41.50\00:33:42.82
So, was it Sabbath
yet, when the Jesus died?
00:33:42.83\00:33:45.11
It was the preparation,
continue on in next verse 55
00:33:45.12\00:33:48.22
"And the women also, which
came with him from Galilee,
00:33:48.23\00:33:52.03
followed after, and
beheld the sepulchre,
00:33:52.04\00:33:54.95
and how his body was laid.
00:33:54.96\00:33:57.38
And they returned, and
prepared spices and ointments,
00:33:57.39\00:34:01.04
and rested the sabbath day
according to the commandment."
00:34:01.05\00:34:04.73
Okay, stop right there a second.
00:34:04.74\00:34:05.97
I think this is a very
good point to point out here too
00:34:05.98\00:34:07.94
when you're giving a study.
00:34:07.95\00:34:08.92
It says that they
returned and prepared spices
00:34:08.93\00:34:11.74
and they rested
on the Sabbath day
00:34:11.75\00:34:13.09
according to the commandment.
00:34:13.10\00:34:14.07
Who wrote the Gospel of Luke,
00:34:14.08\00:34:16.92
Luke, was he a Jew
or Gentile historically,
00:34:16.93\00:34:19.53
what was he?
00:34:19.54\00:34:20.89
He was a
gentile, a doctor right,
00:34:20.90\00:34:22.61
he was a
physician, Luke the physician.
00:34:22.62\00:34:24.25
So, Luke here writing the,
writing the gospel of Luke,
00:34:24.26\00:34:26.55
did he write
before the Jesus die?
00:34:26.56\00:34:28.54
Was it prophetic
or did he write it
00:34:28.55\00:34:30.19
some 20, 30, 40 years after?
00:34:30.20\00:34:32.98
It was afterwards,
isn't it interesting
00:34:32.99\00:34:34.51
that Luke looking
back under this inspiration
00:34:34.52\00:34:37.42
of the holy spirit,
writes that the women rested
00:34:37.43\00:34:39.62
according to the
Sabbath after the cross.
00:34:39.63\00:34:44.15
Because, you know,
I want just to address
00:34:44.16\00:34:45.13
a little
something here, you know,
00:34:45.14\00:34:46.20
many people say that that
the, that the cross was nailing
00:34:46.21\00:34:49.01
the Ten
Commandments to the cross,
00:34:49.02\00:34:51.42
and that's how
they get away with,
00:34:51.43\00:34:52.41
get rid of the Sabbath
because the Ten Commandments
00:34:52.42\00:34:54.35
were nailed to the cross.
00:34:54.36\00:34:55.41
Wouldn't it be a perfect time
00:34:55.42\00:34:56.39
for Luke here to reference that?
00:34:56.40\00:34:58.14
Like he still
calls it the commandment
00:34:58.15\00:35:00.01
and he's looking back and
if anybody would have known
00:35:00.02\00:35:02.25
the commandments
were done away with.
00:35:02.26\00:35:03.24
They would have been a
gentile Christian looking back
00:35:03.25\00:35:05.44
after the cross said
they, they didn't go to
00:35:05.45\00:35:07.72
the anointing of his body
on Sabbath and they rested.
00:35:07.73\00:35:11.22
But they didn't need
to because the Sabbath
00:35:11.23\00:35:12.87
have been done away with.
00:35:12.88\00:35:13.89
I mean, something there, I mean,
00:35:13.90\00:35:15.10
I don't have any
word of it, but he didn't,
00:35:15.11\00:35:16.59
he just said, they
still kept the Sabbath.
00:35:16.60\00:35:19.20
And apparently the
disciples of Jesus recognized
00:35:19.21\00:35:22.93
after following him around
00:35:22.94\00:35:23.91
for three and a half
years of his ministry,
00:35:23.92\00:35:25.57
recognized that they
would disappoint him even
00:35:25.58\00:35:28.20
if they anointed
his body on the Sabbath,
00:35:28.21\00:35:29.78
so they refrained from working.
00:35:29.79\00:35:31.19
They still kept the commandment,
00:35:31.20\00:35:32.20
they didn't want to,
even in the act of love,
00:35:32.21\00:35:33.77
they didn't want
to disappoint Jesus.
00:35:33.78\00:35:35.26
So, the Bible says they,
now what we looked at so far,
00:35:35.27\00:35:37.69
we're looking at what
day the Sabbath is on,
00:35:37.70\00:35:39.34
it says that they
rested, that the day
00:35:39.35\00:35:42.22
before they prepared the spices,
00:35:42.23\00:35:43.27
they took his body
down and put it in tomb
00:35:43.28\00:35:44.60
the day before rather
on the preparation day.
00:35:44.61\00:35:46.79
Then it says they
rested on the Sabbath day,
00:35:46.80\00:35:48.75
now Aletta, what it says
the next couple of verses there.
00:35:48.76\00:35:52.36
"Now upon the
first day of the week,
00:35:52.37\00:35:55.25
very early in the morning,
they came unto the sepulchre,
00:35:55.26\00:35:59.46
bringing the spices
which they had prepared,
00:35:59.47\00:36:02.39
and send others with them.
00:36:02.40\00:36:05.06
And they found the stone
rolled away from the sepulchre.
00:36:05.07\00:36:08.46
And they entered in,
00:36:08.47\00:36:10.19
and found not the
body of the Lord Jesus."
00:36:10.20\00:36:13.23
Okay, so what we see
here just from the text,
00:36:13.24\00:36:15.94
we're looking
right out of the Bible,
00:36:15.95\00:36:17.21
we're just pulling
right out of the Bible,
00:36:17.22\00:36:18.42
it says that
the preparation day,
00:36:18.43\00:36:20.12
they put him in the tomb.
00:36:20.13\00:36:21.31
The Sabbath day everyone rested,
00:36:21.32\00:36:23.24
the first day of
the week they came
00:36:23.25\00:36:25.86
and guess what had happened?
00:36:25.87\00:36:28.05
He resurrected,
according to the Bible what day
00:36:28.06\00:36:32.68
did he lay in the tomb on?
00:36:32.69\00:36:35.11
The Sabbath day.
00:36:35.12\00:36:36.18
Okay, according to what
we looked at in the Bible,
00:36:36.19\00:36:37.88
what day did he rise on?
00:36:37.89\00:36:40.61
The first day of the week,
yes, take a look at the text,
00:36:40.62\00:36:42.19
the first day
of the week, right.
00:36:42.20\00:36:43.37
So, he rises on the
first day of the week
00:36:43.38\00:36:45.00
and we call that
day, Easter Sunday.
00:36:45.01\00:36:47.70
You call the resurrection,
Easter Sunday right,
00:36:47.71\00:36:49.23
so you can't have it both ways.
00:36:49.24\00:36:51.29
Now, and here is
another thing that
00:36:51.30\00:36:52.66
I like just drive me insane,
00:36:52.67\00:36:54.41
when I first was
coming from a Non-Christian
00:36:54.42\00:36:56.31
background to
become a Christian.
00:36:56.32\00:36:59.00
And this whole thing of
the Sabbath Sunday thing,
00:36:59.01\00:37:01.58
you know, and
whether or not you know,
00:37:01.59\00:37:03.62
the seventh day is there or not.
00:37:03.63\00:37:05.26
One of the arguments
that people would say is we,
00:37:05.27\00:37:06.74
we can't really tell
which day is the seventh day
00:37:06.75\00:37:08.00
of the week, we
can never be sure
00:37:08.01\00:37:08.98
and you'd read this
text and they say, well,
00:37:08.99\00:37:10.15
I'm still not sure.
00:37:10.16\00:37:11.13
But you're still
not sure what day
00:37:11.14\00:37:12.11
the first day is either then.
00:37:12.12\00:37:13.42
If you don't know
which day Saturday is
00:37:13.43\00:37:14.75
or the seventh day is,
then you also don't know,
00:37:14.76\00:37:16.31
which day you rose on.
00:37:16.32\00:37:17.29
So, why you
keeping that day holy?
00:37:17.30\00:37:19.24
See it's not a issue,
no one has a question about
00:37:19.25\00:37:20.99
which day of the
week each day is,
00:37:21.00\00:37:22.51
until it comes the
issue of what God says.
00:37:22.52\00:37:24.62
Now, imagine this,
okay, imagine this,
00:37:24.63\00:37:27.39
God commands us to keep
the forth command, doesn't he?
00:37:27.40\00:37:30.63
I mean it's the
forth commandment,
00:37:30.64\00:37:31.75
"remember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy,
00:37:31.76\00:37:32.96
six days shall thou
labor and do all thy work,
00:37:32.97\00:37:34.49
but the seventh day is the
Sabbath of the Lord thy God,
00:37:34.50\00:37:36.66
in it you shall not
do any work," right.
00:37:36.67\00:37:38.76
He commands it,
wouldn't it be strange
00:37:38.77\00:37:40.97
to have the God of order,
00:37:40.98\00:37:43.44
the God of creation
that created all the order
00:37:43.45\00:37:45.41
and every vase you
see, everything you see.
00:37:45.42\00:37:46.74
Commandments, Ten Commandments
00:37:46.75\00:37:49.17
of which nine
it's possible to keep
00:37:49.18\00:37:50.69
and one is impossible to keep,
00:37:50.70\00:37:52.51
having one out of the
ten it's impossible to keep
00:37:52.52\00:37:53.86
because we don't know.
00:37:53.87\00:37:54.87
Does that sounds like
a God, a reasonable God.
00:37:54.88\00:37:57.56
No, it doesn't.
00:37:57.57\00:37:58.54
And so it's only unreasonable
if you don't want to obey
00:37:58.55\00:38:01.79
what God has to say.
00:38:01.80\00:38:03.29
I remember the devil
is going to be subtle,
00:38:03.30\00:38:04.79
he is not going
to come in wide open,
00:38:04.80\00:38:06.34
plot down with his
pitchfork and his tail
00:38:06.35\00:38:09.22
and his red
leotards and his horns.
00:38:09.23\00:38:11.50
Of course, we don't have
that in the Bible either,
00:38:11.51\00:38:12.89
but that's the way most
Christians think of the devil,
00:38:12.90\00:38:14.19
right, many
Christians think of the devil.
00:38:14.20\00:38:15.74
Plot down and say,
okay, worship me, do this.
00:38:15.75\00:38:18.82
Are you going to do it?
00:38:18.83\00:38:19.82
I mean, he plot down and
says, okay Friday is the day,
00:38:19.83\00:38:21.77
worship on
Friday, would you do it?
00:38:21.78\00:38:23.89
No. We won't, absolutely right.
00:38:23.90\00:38:25.85
But if he can come and
suddenly change to where
00:38:25.86\00:38:28.39
the majority of
the people are doing it
00:38:28.40\00:38:29.62
and so it must be okay.
00:38:29.63\00:38:30.96
Does that sound more like
that scoundrel, to me too.
00:38:30.97\00:38:35.03
We have the Bible, it
tells us which day he died on.
00:38:35.04\00:38:38.88
Laid in the tomb
on, rested from his work
00:38:38.89\00:38:41.48
of saving
mankind on the Sabbath.
00:38:41.49\00:38:43.61
And then we have
the Bible telling us
00:38:43.62\00:38:44.62
he rose on
first day of the week.
00:38:44.63\00:38:46.48
We have the Bible telling
us that he kept the Sabbath
00:38:46.49\00:38:48.76
while he was alive, on
the seventh day of the week.
00:38:48.77\00:38:52.27
We know today, just by
asking a real blood Jew
00:38:52.28\00:38:57.18
what day the
seventh day of the week is,
00:38:57.19\00:38:58.70
he'll be glad to tell
you, it's on Saturday.
00:38:58.71\00:39:00.75
If you go ask your preacher,
00:39:00.76\00:39:03.08
even if they're not a
Sabbath keeping pastor,
00:39:03.09\00:39:06.03
as a matter of fact
there's Mike here sitting
00:39:06.04\00:39:07.50
in our classroom?
00:39:07.51\00:39:08.55
He was reading his
Bible and he come across,
00:39:08.56\00:39:13.03
and he was
Non-Christian all together,
00:39:13.04\00:39:14.71
a non believer,
Mike was a non believer
00:39:14.72\00:39:16.24
and he was
starting to find the Lord
00:39:16.25\00:39:17.52
and he wanted to
become a Christian,
00:39:17.53\00:39:18.50
want to serve God.
00:39:18.51\00:39:19.58
And he's reading his Bible
and he comes across a passage
00:39:19.59\00:39:21.67
that says, we need to
keep the Sabbath holy.
00:39:21.68\00:39:23.45
So, he goes to a
Baptist minister and he says,
00:39:23.46\00:39:25.88
I need to talk with
you, and the guy says,
00:39:25.89\00:39:26.96
what do you're talking about.
00:39:26.97\00:39:27.98
And he says,
well, I've been my Bible
00:39:27.99\00:39:29.55
and I've got a problem
here, because the company
00:39:29.56\00:39:31.38
I work for is
making me work on Sunday.
00:39:31.39\00:39:33.85
And the Bible says,
we should, we should,
00:39:33.86\00:39:35.69
we should rest on that
day, isn't that how it went?
00:39:35.70\00:39:37.27
And so he says and the
Sunday pastor say no, no, no
00:39:37.28\00:39:39.96
that we're under,
grace we don't worry
00:39:39.97\00:39:41.19
about that anymore.
00:39:41.20\00:39:42.18
Mike's like how is that,
and he argues with the pastor
00:39:42.19\00:39:44.54
about we should
be keeping Sunday,
00:39:44.55\00:39:45.63
not working on Sunday
and finally the pastor
00:39:45.64\00:39:47.44
got frustrated with
him and said, no, no, no
00:39:47.45\00:39:48.80
you're all mixed up anyway.
00:39:48.81\00:39:49.78
Because the Sunday is not the
Sabbath any how, Saturday is.
00:39:49.79\00:39:55.05
So, Mike learned about
the Saturday Sabbath being
00:39:55.06\00:39:57.15
the seventh day not from a
00:39:57.16\00:39:58.73
Seventh day
Adventist or anybody else.
00:39:58.74\00:40:00.66
But he learned it
from a Baptist minister,
00:40:00.67\00:40:02.37
he got frustrated with
him about keeping Sunday holy.
00:40:02.38\00:40:05.26
Isn't that fascinating?
00:40:05.27\00:40:06.28
So, you can ask your ministers,
00:40:06.29\00:40:08.62
you know you can go
and talk to him and say,
00:40:08.63\00:40:09.77
hey which day is the
Sabbath and if they're honest,
00:40:09.78\00:40:12.72
if they're
intellectually honest,
00:40:12.73\00:40:14.02
they'll tell you on Saturday.
00:40:14.03\00:40:15.78
And they'll say,
why do we keep Sunday?
00:40:15.79\00:40:16.99
They'll come up with an excuse,
00:40:17.00\00:40:18.05
but it won't be biblical.
00:40:18.06\00:40:19.93
Oh, we keep Sunday in
honor of the resurrection,
00:40:19.94\00:40:22.86
oh that's fair
enough, show me in the Bible
00:40:22.87\00:40:24.07
where it says to do that?
00:40:24.08\00:40:25.84
It doesn't, it's our tradition.
00:40:25.85\00:40:27.99
And what the problem with
traditions above the Bible.
00:40:28.00\00:40:30.05
You got major issues, all right.
00:40:30.06\00:40:31.99
So, now we find out that Jesus,
00:40:32.00\00:40:33.80
Jesus himself
created all things,
00:40:33.81\00:40:35.37
Jesus kept the Sabbath,
Jesus commanded the Sabbath,
00:40:35.38\00:40:37.66
did the
disciples keep the Sabbath?
00:40:37.67\00:40:40.50
Let's go down to
Matthew Chapter oh,
00:40:40.51\00:40:42.32
this is Jesus
here and talking about
00:40:42.33\00:40:44.00
the disciples in the
future, talking about us should,
00:40:44.01\00:40:46.58
should they be
keeping the Sabbath,
00:40:46.59\00:40:47.67
whether or not they
should be keeping it.
00:40:47.68\00:40:48.86
And you find it here
in Matthew Chapter 24,
00:40:48.87\00:40:50.57
did he expect in Matthew 24
to Jesus expect his disciples,
00:40:50.58\00:40:54.58
his followers
after his death, burial,
00:40:54.59\00:40:56.75
and resurrection to
be keeping the Sabbath.
00:40:56.76\00:40:58.57
Here he is going to be talking
00:40:58.58\00:40:59.66
about the
destruction of Jerusalem,
00:40:59.67\00:41:01.07
much into the
future from the time that,
00:41:01.08\00:41:04.31
that he was walking there
and talking about the disciples.
00:41:04.32\00:41:07.72
What does he say
in Matthew Chapter 24,
00:41:07.73\00:41:09.57
predicting the future, Mike?
00:41:09.58\00:41:11.79
But pray ye that your
flight not be in the winter,
00:41:11.80\00:41:13.67
neither on the Sabbath day.
00:41:13.68\00:41:14.92
Pray that your
flight, in other words,
00:41:14.93\00:41:16.87
you're fleeing
from Jerusalem on 70 AD
00:41:16.88\00:41:19.53
when the temple was destroyed.
00:41:19.54\00:41:20.51
He was prophesying that
the future for the disciples
00:41:20.52\00:41:23.05
and he says, pray
when you have to leave
00:41:23.06\00:41:25.04
that your flight not be when.
00:41:25.05\00:41:27.58
So, did he, did Jesus expect
the winter to continue on?
00:41:27.59\00:41:32.43
Did he expect
winter to continue?
00:41:32.44\00:41:34.13
Sure, he did because he says
00:41:34.14\00:41:35.11
pray that your
flight not be on winter.
00:41:35.12\00:41:36.15
So he wasn't
expecting the winter to be
00:41:36.16\00:41:37.54
done away with was he?
00:41:37.55\00:41:38.87
I mean he kind a figure
that he wasn't be summer
00:41:38.88\00:41:40.79
from then on, he knew that
the winter would still exist.
00:41:40.80\00:41:42.60
Did he also expect
the Sabbath to continue?
00:41:42.61\00:41:45.17
How, how do you know that?
00:41:45.18\00:41:47.67
Just like the winter,
pray that your flight...
00:41:47.68\00:41:49.45
Now why would he be
concerned about the Sabbath?
00:41:49.46\00:41:52.06
Now, here's a trick question?
00:41:52.07\00:41:53.63
Because many
people, the scoffers about
00:41:53.64\00:41:55.42
cthis point will say
huh, he was worried about
00:41:55.43\00:41:57.09
the Sabbath,
because the Jews wouldn't be
00:41:57.10\00:41:58.36
able to get out of
the city on the Sabbath
00:41:58.37\00:41:59.75
because they got
the gates closed.
00:41:59.76\00:42:01.90
Right, that's the
argument and that's not true.
00:42:01.91\00:42:05.51
The gates were not
opened to merchants
00:42:05.52\00:42:06.89
on the Sabbath, but
you can leave the city.
00:42:06.90\00:42:09.31
You just had trouble
getting in with your stuff.
00:42:09.32\00:42:10.98
Right, because
they didn't want to be
00:42:10.99\00:42:11.96
selling things on the Sabbath.
00:42:11.97\00:42:13.07
But I guarantee you,
if you wanted to leave
00:42:13.08\00:42:15.56
your house on the Sabbath,
00:42:15.57\00:42:17.47
it will no problem
because if you remember
00:42:17.48\00:42:18.80
when Jesus said when you flee,
00:42:18.81\00:42:20.54
don't take your stuff with you.
00:42:20.55\00:42:23.14
So, if he is gonna tell
his disciples not to take
00:42:23.15\00:42:24.86
your stuff with you
when you flee the city,
00:42:24.87\00:42:26.17
when you have to
flee, don't take your stuff,
00:42:26.18\00:42:27.62
just get down and go.
00:42:27.63\00:42:28.60
Why would he, can be
concerned about whether not
00:42:28.61\00:42:30.29
the gates of city would
be open or close anyway.
00:42:30.30\00:42:32.07
cYou still have the
ways out of the city,
00:42:32.08\00:42:33.91
you know not the big open gates.
00:42:33.92\00:42:35.10
You still have the, the
eyes on the side of the city
00:42:35.11\00:42:37.37
what ever that
you can slip out of,
00:42:37.38\00:42:38.94
the smaller openings.
00:42:38.95\00:42:40.65
The concerned wasn't
whether or not they will be able
00:42:40.66\00:42:42.83
to carry their stuff out.
00:42:42.84\00:42:44.77
He didn't want them to have
to be doing that on Sabbath.
00:42:44.78\00:42:48.50
So, even if
someone wants to say, hey,
00:42:48.51\00:42:51.59
he wasn't worried about
them keeping the Sabbath,
00:42:51.60\00:42:54.10
he was just worried about not
being able to get out of city.
00:42:54.11\00:42:55.76
So pray that you're
able to get out of city,
00:42:55.77\00:42:57.40
you can't if it's on Sabbath.
00:42:57.41\00:42:58.51
Even if that was the
case, he still recognizing
00:42:58.52\00:43:00.96
that the Sabbath
would be in existence.
00:43:00.97\00:43:04.01
He still recognizes
people will be keeping
00:43:04.02\00:43:05.29
and obeying the Sabbath after
00:43:05.30\00:43:07.01
his death,
burial, and resurrection.
00:43:07.02\00:43:09.25
But, whether
that's the case or not,
00:43:09.26\00:43:11.83
did his
disciples keep the Sabbath.
00:43:11.84\00:43:15.33
Did his disciples and his
followers keep the Sabbath?
00:43:15.34\00:43:17.36
Now, this is one of my most
favorite texts to go to here.
00:43:17.37\00:43:20.76
This is
powerful, Acts Chapter 13,
00:43:20.77\00:43:23.76
Acts Chapter 13
and what we're gonna do
00:43:23.77\00:43:26.17
is we read through this,
at one point here later on
00:43:26.18\00:43:28.65
in Acts Chapter 13,
I'm gonna ask you all to do
00:43:28.66\00:43:31.63
a little exercise with me.
00:43:31.64\00:43:32.81
Are you gonna be ready for that?
00:43:32.82\00:43:34.17
You don't have to
get out of your seats
00:43:34.18\00:43:35.67
for anything like that
but at one point I say,
00:43:35.68\00:43:37.55
okay, close your
Bibles, close them.
00:43:37.56\00:43:39.06
But when you close
them and, and by the way
00:43:39.07\00:43:40.83
you at home, whenever
you're giving a Bible study
00:43:40.84\00:43:42.94
or something at this
point when we do that closing
00:43:42.95\00:43:45.01
our Bible thing, you want to,
00:43:45.02\00:43:46.15
you want to kind of
play along with the person
00:43:46.16\00:43:47.55
you're studying with too
and let them do the same thing.
00:43:47.56\00:43:49.39
But tell them not
to lose their spot,
00:43:49.40\00:43:51.07
so what you'll do is,
when you get to Acts Chapter 13
00:43:51.08\00:43:53.60
you take a little thing here
and you got this little string
00:43:53.61\00:43:56.83
in your Bible first
you do and if you don't
00:43:56.84\00:43:58.15
get a piece of paper
and mark Acts Chapter 13,
00:43:58.16\00:44:01.17
as we read along here, okay.
00:44:01.18\00:44:03.15
So, that you don't lose your
spot when we close our Bible.
00:44:03.16\00:44:05.12
It's important we do
this, we want to make sure that
00:44:05.13\00:44:07.62
everybody is following along
with our little exercise here.
00:44:07.63\00:44:10.75
So, Acts Chapter 13, did
the disciples keep the Sabbath,
00:44:10.76\00:44:15.41
were they going to
synagogue on Sabbath,
00:44:15.42\00:44:16.96
were they preaching on
Sabbath what were they doing?
00:44:16.97\00:44:19.19
Starting in verse 14, Aletta?
00:44:19.20\00:44:20.71
Can you read verse 14 for me
00:44:20.72\00:44:22.74
and 15 and 16
that first three. Okay.
00:44:22.75\00:44:25.79
"But when they
departed from Perga,
00:44:25.80\00:44:28.08
they came to Antioch in Pisidia
00:44:28.09\00:44:31.37
and went into the synagogue on
the Sabbath day, and sat down.
00:44:31.38\00:44:35.88
And after the reading
of the law and the prophets
00:44:35.89\00:44:38.57
the rulers of the
synagogue sent unto them,
00:44:38.58\00:44:41.03
saying, Ye men and brethren,
00:44:41.04\00:44:43.60
if ye have any
word of exhortation
00:44:43.61\00:44:45.82
for the people, say on.
00:44:45.83\00:44:47.75
Then Paul stood up, and
beckoning with his hand said,
00:44:47.76\00:44:51.69
Men of Israel, and ye
that fear God, give audience."
00:44:51.70\00:44:55.37
So, what happens here is Paul,
00:44:55.38\00:44:57.80
they go to a
synagogue on the Sabbath
00:44:57.81\00:45:00.75
and he just sat down.
00:45:00.76\00:45:02.87
And people knowing
that I was the head,
00:45:02.88\00:45:04.43
they must have been fidgeting
or something like I do,
00:45:04.44\00:45:06.07
when I sit down in
some churches or sometime,
00:45:06.08\00:45:07.37
they'll say, you got
something you want to say?
00:45:07.38\00:45:09.99
Yes, I do.
00:45:10.00\00:45:11.05
And he says, beckons with
the answers, listen to me.
00:45:11.06\00:45:12.85
Now, did the Paul
believe in keeping
00:45:12.86\00:45:16.23
the seventh day Sabbath?
00:45:16.24\00:45:17.27
Some people was gonna say,
00:45:17.28\00:45:18.30
he was just there
to reach the Jews.
00:45:18.31\00:45:22.48
Good, I want that to be argument
00:45:22.59\00:45:24.29
because if that
your argument, you know,
00:45:24.30\00:45:26.72
if that's your, that's
your take on this you're gonna
00:45:26.73\00:45:29.07
find out that was he
their just to reach the Jews?
00:45:29.08\00:45:31.83
No, the Bible is
gonna tell us so.
00:45:31.84\00:45:34.83
So, we're gonna find out who,
who is the best interpreter?
00:45:34.84\00:45:36.82
Right now someone
could say, someone could say,
00:45:36.83\00:45:39.30
that's why he was
there for to reach the Jews,
00:45:39.31\00:45:41.36
no problem say that.
00:45:41.37\00:45:43.93
But if Bible say
something contradictory to that
00:45:43.94\00:45:46.83
what we're gonna believe,
00:45:46.84\00:45:48.60
yeah we've to
believe the Bible, don't we?
00:45:48.61\00:45:50.21
So, what happens in
verse 17 all the way down
00:45:50.22\00:45:53.25
to verse 36, let me tell
you what happens through there.
00:45:53.26\00:45:55.07
Paul preaches a powerful
sermon about Jesus Christ.
00:45:55.08\00:45:58.48
He preaches the message about.
00:45:58.49\00:45:59.76
About you hung him on a
cross, it's your fault he died,
00:45:59.77\00:46:02.61
you messed up
or you rejected him
00:46:02.62\00:46:06.01
but it's not too
late, you can repent.
00:46:06.02\00:46:07.16
I'm just paraphrasing
his sermon there, right.
00:46:07.17\00:46:09.19
He is calling
people to worship Jesus,
00:46:09.20\00:46:11.34
the son of David and,
and, and he's done all
00:46:11.35\00:46:14.14
of these wonderful things,
00:46:14.15\00:46:15.16
you rejected him
but it's not too late
00:46:15.17\00:46:16.59
to take him back, right.
00:46:16.60\00:46:17.90
He'll accept you if you'll
surrender, surrender to him.
00:46:17.91\00:46:19.96
It's a righteousness by
faith sermon you might say
00:46:19.97\00:46:22.08
and in verse 37,
I'm going to read
00:46:22.09\00:46:23.56
verse 37 and 38, 39
here because I'm going
00:46:23.57\00:46:26.08
to do my little part here
to make sure I close my Bible.
00:46:26.09\00:46:28.13
So when you're given
a Bible study as well
00:46:28.14\00:46:29.52
and when you're given the study,
00:46:29.53\00:46:30.50
you make sure that
whenever you get to the,
00:46:30.51\00:46:32.32
this part of it
that you our recalls
00:46:32.33\00:46:34.23
when you tell me close it,
00:46:34.24\00:46:35.21
you want to able to
emphasize certain things
00:46:35.22\00:46:36.80
and shut the Bible and
be ready for them okay?
00:46:36.81\00:46:38.49
So, this is the
fun part of the study,
00:46:38.50\00:46:40.58
I like this
better than anything.
00:46:40.59\00:46:41.85
So, starting in
verse 37, it say's.
00:46:41.86\00:46:44.07
"But he, whom God raised
again, saw no corruption."
00:46:44.08\00:46:48.17
This is, this is Paul
speaking about Jesus he saw no
00:46:48.18\00:46:51.04
corruption and his body
didn't rot in the grave.
00:46:51.05\00:46:53.46
"Be it known unto you therefore,
00:46:53.47\00:46:55.81
men and brethren, that
through this man is preached
00:46:55.82\00:46:58.62
unto you the
forgiveness of sins."
00:46:58.63\00:47:00.66
Halleluiah, that's my addition,
that's not in the Bible.
00:47:00.67\00:47:03.72
"And by him all that believe
are justified from all things,
00:47:03.73\00:47:08.49
from which ye
could not be justified
00:47:08.50\00:47:10.32
by the Law of Moses."
00:47:10.33\00:47:11.86
The reason I bring that
all the way down to that text
00:47:11.87\00:47:13.94
specifically, it says
you can't be justified
00:47:13.95\00:47:15.71
by whose law?
00:47:15.72\00:47:17.18
The law of Moses.
00:47:17.19\00:47:18.23
So, is Paul here
also doing away with
00:47:18.24\00:47:20.21
the Ten
Commandments and the Sabbath?
00:47:20.22\00:47:22.47
If he is, you got
trouble as we continue along.
00:47:22.48\00:47:25.65
Right, of course he is
not and we know that obviously
00:47:25.66\00:47:27.96
that he's doing away
with Sabbath right here.
00:47:27.97\00:47:29.64
But isn't it funny here
that he says that you're
00:47:29.65\00:47:31.60
not justified by the
law of Moses, in other words
00:47:31.61\00:47:34.63
by keeping the law of Moses,
00:47:34.64\00:47:36.11
by doing
everything that Moses said,
00:47:36.12\00:47:37.39
is that saving anybody?
00:47:37.40\00:47:38.90
No, you can't
be saved by keeping
00:47:38.91\00:47:40.36
even the Ten
Commandments, you keep them
00:47:40.37\00:47:42.14
that doesn't save you.
00:47:42.15\00:47:43.71
It's Christ that saves
you, that's what he is trying
00:47:43.72\00:47:45.66
to explain to these
hard headed Jews, right?
00:47:45.67\00:47:47.23
They're trying to think,
00:47:47.24\00:47:48.26
if they do
everything just right,
00:47:48.27\00:47:49.29
if they keep the law of
Moses and they obey just right.
00:47:49.30\00:47:51.17
And if they do
everything, they need to do,
00:47:51.18\00:47:53.06
then they will be
saved and what's he is say?
00:47:53.07\00:47:56.23
Sorry, you're out of luck
00:47:56.24\00:47:57.65
because you can't be justified,
00:47:57.66\00:47:58.91
you can't be made
right in God's eye's
00:47:58.92\00:48:00.41
by keeping his laws.
00:48:00.42\00:48:02.91
Look what
happens next? Verse 42.
00:48:02.92\00:48:05.94
After Paul preached,
the Jews were gone out of
00:48:05.95\00:48:08.59
the synagogue,
when verse 42 be ready
00:48:08.60\00:48:09.89
to close your Bible,
the Jews were gone out
00:48:09.90\00:48:11.61
of the synagogue.
00:48:11.62\00:48:13.07
The Gentiles besought
that these words might be
00:48:13.08\00:48:15.49
preached to them
the next Sabbath day,
00:48:15.50\00:48:17.31
close your Bible, close them,
00:48:17.32\00:48:18.84
what does that text
say, again, does he remember?
00:48:18.85\00:48:20.76
The gentiles, the Non-Jews said,
00:48:20.77\00:48:23.83
we want these words
to be preached to us
00:48:23.84\00:48:25.14
when the next Sabbath.
00:48:25.15\00:48:27.06
Now, now, I don't
have the Bible back up
00:48:27.07\00:48:29.23
because I can tell you
what it's going to say,
00:48:29.24\00:48:30.59
let me tell you
what he is going to say?
00:48:30.60\00:48:31.70
Paul says, in the
next couple of verses,
00:48:31.71\00:48:33.50
he says, gentiles,
no, no, no, no don't worry
00:48:33.51\00:48:36.49
about coming back next Sabbath
00:48:36.50\00:48:38.31
because we meet with the
gentiles on Sunday, tomorrow.
00:48:38.32\00:48:42.37
So, you just comeback tomorrow,
00:48:42.38\00:48:43.35
we'll meet together and
I'll preach to you tomorrow,
00:48:43.36\00:48:45.25
isn't that what
he is going to say?
00:48:45.26\00:48:46.50
He has to, he has
to, because the Bible,
00:48:46.51\00:48:49.53
we know from the
Bible everybody knows
00:48:49.54\00:48:51.17
the Bible teaches that Paul was
00:48:51.18\00:48:53.09
the apostle to the gentiles.
00:48:53.10\00:48:55.80
So, therefore he is
going to tell the gentiles,
00:48:55.81\00:48:57.88
hey, come back on Sunday
00:48:57.89\00:48:59.11
because that's
the new Sabbath anyway
00:48:59.12\00:49:00.86
we keep the honor
resurrection of Jesus.
00:49:00.87\00:49:02.50
He was just talking about
the resurrection of Jesus,
00:49:02.51\00:49:04.59
he was just taking
about the forgiveness of sins
00:49:04.60\00:49:06.37
from Jesus, right?
00:49:06.38\00:49:07.60
All this stuff is
about Jesus, he is preaching
00:49:07.61\00:49:10.05
a sermon about Jesus.
00:49:10.06\00:49:11.12
Do you think at this
point now we're gonna just open
00:49:11.13\00:49:13.13
the Bible back up and
Paul, you're going to write,
00:49:13.14\00:49:14.99
read where Paul
says don't, no peeking,
00:49:15.00\00:49:16.26
Gloria, no peeking,
and you going to read
00:49:16.27\00:49:19.99
where Paul says,
come back tomorrow,
00:49:20.00\00:49:22.20
now we should, shouldn't we?
00:49:22.21\00:49:24.32
This is some at least, at
least four years past the cross,
00:49:24.33\00:49:27.87
at least four years past
the cross it's happening.
00:49:27.88\00:49:30.60
And so obviously,
Paul is going to tell them,
00:49:30.61\00:49:33.10
hey, we keep Sunday
now, now you can peek Gloria,
00:49:33.11\00:49:36.24
you wanna peek now.
00:49:36.25\00:49:37.22
Look what it is, let's
see, is that what he says
00:49:37.23\00:49:38.78
to them, he has to, doesn't he?
00:49:38.79\00:49:41.28
All right, we're
gonna read, verse 43.
00:49:41.29\00:49:44.43
"Now when the
congregation was broken up,
00:49:44.44\00:49:46.30
many of the Jews
and religious proselytes
00:49:46.31\00:49:48.76
followed Paul and Barnabas.
00:49:48.77\00:49:49.99
Who's speaking to
them, persuaded them
00:49:50.00\00:49:52.05
to continue in
the grace of God."
00:49:52.06\00:49:54.77
And the next
Sunday came almost oh,
00:49:54.78\00:49:57.09
I messed that up, didn't I?
00:49:57.10\00:49:58.37
That's not what it says, is it?
00:49:59.06\00:50:00.27
what did it say,
00:50:00.28\00:50:01.65
the next Sabbath day came almost
00:50:02.07\00:50:03.75
the whole city together
to hear the word of God.
00:50:03.76\00:50:07.99
Now, I've got a
question, I've to ask,
00:50:08.00\00:50:09.49
it begs to be asked here.
00:50:09.50\00:50:10.98
I'm preaching now
I know but I preach
00:50:10.99\00:50:12.28
by Bible studies
sometimes too, people like it.
00:50:12.29\00:50:14.52
They told everybody back,
00:50:14.53\00:50:15.78
they told everybody back, right.
00:50:15.79\00:50:17.46
So, it says here
that the next Sabbath day
00:50:17.47\00:50:20.60
came the whole city
together, the whole city means
00:50:20.61\00:50:22.57
the Jews and the gentiles,
00:50:22.58\00:50:24.22
specifically the
gentiles came back,
00:50:24.23\00:50:25.32
why did they come on Sunday?
00:50:25.33\00:50:26.43
It's a good
question though isn't it?
00:50:29.37\00:50:30.95
I mean, like right now,
I'm in a position I'm now,
00:50:30.96\00:50:33.39
I used to work a secular job.
00:50:33.40\00:50:35.02
The Lord has
blessed me to able to be
00:50:35.03\00:50:36.45
like a minister now,
I'm working here at LIFE.
00:50:36.46\00:50:37.98
And I've love it,
love it, love it, you know.
00:50:37.99\00:50:39.75
I recommend it.
00:50:39.76\00:50:41.60
But if someone come
to me if I was preaching
00:50:41.61\00:50:43.89
somewhere on a Sabbath right now
00:50:43.90\00:50:45.74
and I had a
gentile say, a Sunday goer,
00:50:45.75\00:50:49.81
I'm not gonna
really call them gentile
00:50:49.82\00:50:51.05
they're are spiritual Jews too,
00:50:51.06\00:50:52.66
they just don't understand
that many times, right?
00:50:52.67\00:50:54.56
But if come to me and said,
00:50:54.57\00:50:55.54
hey will you preach
at my church tomorrow?
00:50:55.55\00:50:58.00
Do you think I'm
gonna tell him no
00:50:58.01\00:50:58.98
you got to come back on,
you got to come back next week.
00:50:58.99\00:51:00.96
I used to, when I was
like a fourth class mechanic
00:51:02.21\00:51:06.06
and I would have
to work on Sunday.
00:51:06.07\00:51:07.73
If someone want me to
preach on a their church
00:51:07.74\00:51:08.86
at a church Sunday, you
know what I had to tell him?
00:51:08.87\00:51:11.78
I got a work, I can't
go preach I got a work.
00:51:11.79\00:51:14.80
I can't go give a Bible study,
00:51:14.81\00:51:15.78
I got to work tomorrow, right.
00:51:15.79\00:51:17.11
But now would I ever
tell somebody that on Sabbath?
00:51:17.12\00:51:18.97
Like about the Sabbath?
00:51:20.21\00:51:21.30
No, because I
wasn't working on Sabbath.
00:51:21.31\00:51:24.07
No matter what, I
mean, I will like lose my job
00:51:24.08\00:51:25.60
before I disappoint
God. That's my idea, right.
00:51:25.61\00:51:27.47
I want to keep
the Ten Commandments
00:51:27.48\00:51:28.45
because I love Jesus.
00:51:28.46\00:51:29.43
Are you following that idea?
00:51:29.44\00:51:30.41
So, Paul here, he
didn't go and worship with them
00:51:30.42\00:51:33.43
and teach them on
Sunday and I want to know why?
00:51:33.44\00:51:35.25
Don't you? Let me give
you a good illustration
00:51:36.61\00:51:39.25
as to why we think
that maybe the case.
00:51:39.26\00:51:41.40
Acts 18, 1-4. What was
Paul doing that he could not go
00:51:41.41\00:51:45.68
on Sunday and
preach to these brothers.
00:51:45.69\00:51:48.90
What was, what was he doing?
00:51:48.91\00:51:49.88
Kaitlin, I want you to
get your microphone out there
00:51:49.89\00:51:52.52
and read verses 1, we're
starting with verse 1, and 2,
00:51:52.53\00:51:54.72
and 3, and 4, and I'll
stop you at some point.
00:51:54.73\00:51:56.47
"After these
things Paul departed
00:51:57.55\00:51:59.35
from Athens,
and came to Corinth;
00:51:59.36\00:52:02.06
And found a
certain Jew named Aquila,
00:52:02.07\00:52:06.05
born in Pontus,
lately come from Italy,
00:52:06.06\00:52:11.49
with his wife
Priscilla; because that Claudius
00:52:11.50\00:52:15.07
had commanded all Jews to depart
00:52:15.08\00:52:17.15
from Rome and come unto him.
00:52:17.16\00:52:20.55
And because he was
one of the same craft,
00:52:20.56\00:52:23.17
he abode with them."
00:52:23.18\00:52:24.78
Okay, stop right
there just for a second.
00:52:24.79\00:52:26.62
Paul was of the same craft.
00:52:26.63\00:52:27.94
In other words, he
done the same thing
00:52:27.95\00:52:29.05
they did for
living, he was doing, right.
00:52:29.06\00:52:30.66
What was that job he did
he bow with them and he rot,
00:52:30.67\00:52:33.76
what was that he did,
Kaitlin, go ahead and read.
00:52:33.77\00:52:35.33
"For by their occupation
they were tentmakers."
00:52:37.14\00:52:40.17
All right, so Paul
went, he is visiting these
00:52:40.18\00:52:42.52
two brothers
right, the other Jews
00:52:42.53\00:52:44.46
they had to leave Rome,
and he's working with them,
00:52:44.47\00:52:46.31
what's he doing?
Making tents, all right.
00:52:46.32\00:52:49.46
Look what it says
in the next verse,
00:52:49.47\00:52:50.80
and read it with,
with enthusiasm, Kaitlin.
00:52:50.81\00:52:53.82
"And he reasoned in the
synagogue every Sabbath."
00:52:53.83\00:52:56.35
When? Every Sabbath.
00:52:56.36\00:52:58.44
Every Sabbath, all right go on.
00:52:58.45\00:53:00.33
"And persuaded the
Jews and the Greeks."
00:53:00.34\00:53:02.53
Oh, oh, so Paul
here, what was he doing
00:53:02.54\00:53:04.88
the other six days of the week?
00:53:04.89\00:53:06.66
Making tents, but what
did he do on the Sabbath?
00:53:06.67\00:53:09.73
He persuaded, he went to
the synagogue and preached.
00:53:09.74\00:53:11.62
And who do you persuade?
00:53:11.63\00:53:12.64
The Jews, and the
gentiles, and the Greeks.
00:53:12.65\00:53:16.00
So where was the
gentiles meeting on,
00:53:16.01\00:53:17.20
meeting at in
early Christian church,
00:53:17.21\00:53:19.22
where were the gentiles meeting?
00:53:19.23\00:53:20.79
In the synagogue, on Sabbath,
00:53:20.80\00:53:22.60
and who was preaching to them?
00:53:22.61\00:53:25.04
The preacher to the
gentiles, Paul himself.
00:53:25.05\00:53:27.40
Hey, look he had
to work on Sunday.
00:53:27.41\00:53:28.60
He wasn't keeping as a Holy day,
00:53:30.29\00:53:31.62
he was working on
Sunday, how do we know that?
00:53:31.63\00:53:33.51
The Bible doesn't
record him preaching on Sunday,
00:53:33.52\00:53:36.23
particularly in the synagogue.
00:53:36.24\00:53:37.65
It says, he was
working, he is making tents.
00:53:37.66\00:53:40.27
It's six days, these
other day he was working
00:53:40.28\00:53:43.03
and then on his Sabbath
day, it says, he reasoned
00:53:43.04\00:53:45.37
in the synagogue every Sabbath.
00:53:45.38\00:53:46.83
Now, if he was also
meeting with Jews on Sunday
00:53:46.84\00:53:48.71
the text would have to
read something like this.
00:53:48.72\00:53:50.63
And the he
reasoned in the synagogue
00:53:50.64\00:53:52.32
every Sabbath and every Sunday,
00:53:52.33\00:53:54.41
he visited with the gentiles.
00:53:54.42\00:53:56.71
Would it have to
say something like that?
00:53:56.72\00:53:58.79
But it doesn't.
00:53:58.80\00:53:59.98
It just says that he reasoned
00:53:59.99\00:54:01.47
in a synagogue
every Sabbath day,
00:54:01.48\00:54:05.15
fascinating isn't it?
00:54:05.16\00:54:06.13
That's what I did when I
was working for a living.
00:54:06.14\00:54:07.59
When I had, when I wasn't
being able to support myself,
00:54:07.60\00:54:09.95
wasn't supported by
just the ministry money.
00:54:09.96\00:54:11.92
You know, like being able
to be a minister full time,
00:54:11.93\00:54:14.27
when I wasn't able to do that.
00:54:14.28\00:54:15.53
And I was working, if
I had to work on Sunday,
00:54:15.54\00:54:17.54
I couldn't go preach.
I had to make a living.
00:54:17.55\00:54:20.97
Paul did too, he was
preaching all the time
00:54:20.98\00:54:23.80
you know when I was
working as a forklift mechanic,
00:54:23.81\00:54:25.25
I would go round these different
00:54:25.26\00:54:26.30
factories and stuff like.
00:54:26.31\00:54:27.28
I got to travel
around all over Kentucky
00:54:27.29\00:54:28.91
I love that job prior to moving
00:54:28.92\00:54:32.07
into different areas, right.
00:54:32.08\00:54:33.24
But I love that, that
was one of my favorite jobs
00:54:33.25\00:54:34.84
I ever had next
to being a minister.
00:54:34.85\00:54:36.32
Because I would get to travel,
00:54:36.33\00:54:37.30
they would, they
would give me a company van
00:54:37.31\00:54:38.47
and all this
equipment and everything.
00:54:38.48\00:54:39.83
And I would travel
from company to company,
00:54:39.84\00:54:41.16
repairing their forklifts.
00:54:41.17\00:54:43.14
And I would take literature
with me and where ever I go,
00:54:43.15\00:54:45.03
I would witness, you
know, I had Bible studies
00:54:45.04\00:54:46.57
with people everywhere.
00:54:46.58\00:54:47.55
So I know where
seeds are planted,
00:54:47.56\00:54:48.53
all over these factories,
all over Kentucky there,
00:54:48.54\00:54:49.94
who know what
may come from them.
00:54:49.95\00:54:51.28
Paul, I can picture
Paul, he would make his tents
00:54:51.29\00:54:52.98
and he probably
wrap up his scroll
00:54:52.99\00:54:54.24
of some scriptures in
there, or something like that
00:54:54.25\00:54:55.92
and sew his tents, who
knows what he was doing.
00:54:55.93\00:54:57.75
But he was preaching
all the time, wasn't he.
00:54:57.76\00:54:59.21
It wasn't just
Sabbath he was preaching,
00:54:59.22\00:55:01.20
but that was the
day he was not working,
00:55:01.21\00:55:03.58
he would spend it in the
synagogue and not working.
00:55:03.59\00:55:05.66
So, now to recap,
Jesus created the Sabbath,
00:55:05.67\00:55:10.21
Jesus kept the
Sabbath, Jesus expected
00:55:10.22\00:55:12.54
his disciples to
keep the Sabbath,
00:55:12.55\00:55:13.71
Matthew Chapter 24, right.
00:55:13.72\00:55:15.60
One of the
disciples to the gentiles,
00:55:17.00\00:55:18.92
main one to the
gentiles kept the Sabbath, Paul.
00:55:18.93\00:55:21.97
Now, some people
say we don't have
00:55:21.98\00:55:23.18
the Sabbath
anymore, but let me show you
00:55:23.19\00:55:24.68
something next, the
next text we're going to,
00:55:24.69\00:55:26.55
our last text is
Isaiah 66 Chapter,
00:55:26.56\00:55:29.41
it didn't change,
let me try it again.
00:55:29.42\00:55:31.28
Isaiah 66:22-23, the Old
Testament book of Isaiah,
00:55:31.29\00:55:35.52
you know how to get
there, go come to the middle
00:55:35.53\00:55:38.30
of your Bible
and you find the book
00:55:38.31\00:55:39.88
of Proverbs or Song of Solomon,
00:55:39.89\00:55:41.84
or any of those right there,
you need to go to the right,
00:55:41.85\00:55:43.57
Ecclesiastes to
the right, Jeremiah,
00:55:43.58\00:55:45.97
go back one book to the left.
00:55:45.98\00:55:47.49
So, you be in Isaiah Chapter 66,
00:55:47.50\00:55:49.32
what we're going to
find right now is that
00:55:51.92\00:55:53.93
we will be keeping
the Sabbath in heaven.
00:55:53.94\00:55:57.41
So, Jesus kept the Sabbath,
00:55:57.42\00:55:59.13
the disciples kept the Sabbath,
00:55:59.14\00:56:00.30
Jesus commanded
to keep the Sabbath.
00:56:00.31\00:56:01.79
All of his
followers all through time
00:56:01.80\00:56:03.21
have kept the Sabbath.
00:56:03.22\00:56:04.42
And now we're going to find out
00:56:04.43\00:56:06.02
that we will keep
it in heaven, go ahead,
00:56:06.03\00:56:08.82
Daniel, verse 22, Jeremiah
Chapter 66 verse 22 and 23,
00:56:08.83\00:56:13.84
I'm sorry Isaiah Chapter 66.
00:56:13.85\00:56:18.76
"For as the new
heavens and the new earth,
00:56:18.77\00:56:20.64
which I will make,
shall remain before me,
00:56:20.65\00:56:22.40
said the Lord, so shall
your seed and your name remain.
00:56:22.41\00:56:26.30
And it shall come to
pass, that from one new moon
00:56:26.31\00:56:28.61
to another, and from
one Sabbath to another,
00:56:28.62\00:56:31.46
shall all flesh come to worship
00:56:31.47\00:56:32.81
before me, said the Lord."
00:56:32.82\00:56:34.50
So, we read those 22 to see
00:56:34.51\00:56:35.93
there is new
heavens and a new earth.
00:56:35.94\00:56:37.17
It's the context
of the New Jerusalem;
00:56:37.18\00:56:39.28
it's a context of heaven.
00:56:39.29\00:56:41.30
And what is
gonna happen in heaven
00:56:41.31\00:56:42.51
from one new moon
to another and from
00:56:42.52\00:56:44.21
one Sabbath to
another, we're going come
00:56:44.22\00:56:46.20
to worship before the Lord.
00:56:46.21\00:56:48.10
That's powerful isn't?
00:56:48.11\00:56:49.40
To me, you know, if
anybody that studied
00:56:49.41\00:56:52.07
the Bible or
you're studying the Bible
00:56:52.08\00:56:53.87
or somebody that's
may be doesn't have
00:56:53.88\00:56:55.23
the real solid pre conceded
idea that doesn't matter
00:56:55.24\00:56:57.58
you can just disobey
God and still go to heaven,
00:56:57.59\00:56:59.13
people have that
pre conceded idea,
00:56:59.14\00:57:01.45
goes through this study.
00:57:01.46\00:57:03.02
The only
conclusion you can come to,
00:57:03.03\00:57:04.24
is that Jesus
himself expects us to keep
00:57:04.25\00:57:07.97
the Sabbath even now.
00:57:07.98\00:57:10.43
And you know, it's not a burden,
00:57:10.44\00:57:13.06
it is a great joy
to keep the Sabbath,
00:57:13.07\00:57:15.44
it's that day of rest
that God has given to us.
00:57:15.45\00:57:17.37
Now, you remember how
we started this study?
00:57:17.38\00:57:19.44
Who is it,
that's trying to keep us
00:57:19.45\00:57:20.42
from having that rest?
00:57:20.43\00:57:21.51
The antichrist, the antichrist.
00:57:22.62\00:57:24.62
Your decision right now is not,
00:57:24.63\00:57:27.54
am I going to keep Saturday
00:57:27.55\00:57:28.56
or keep Sunday as holy day.
00:57:28.57\00:57:30.57
But the decision
that you have to come to
00:57:30.58\00:57:32.76
am I going to follow
Jesus Christ in his day
00:57:32.77\00:57:35.42
or the antichrist in his day.
00:57:35.43\00:57:37.56
It's not a decision of, of a day
00:57:38.67\00:57:41.12
but it's a decision of a person.
00:57:41.13\00:57:42.82
