00:03:42.64\00:03:44.15
Give thanks to the Lord
00:04:06.06\00:04:07.91
Our God and King
00:04:07.94\00:04:10.26
His love endures forever
00:04:10.29\00:04:14.48

Sing praise, sing praise

And by the grace of
God we will carry on
00:05:03.84\00:05:08.14
His love endures forever
00:05:08.17\00:05:12.21
Sing praise, sing praise
00:05:12.24\00:05:20.19
Sing praise, sing Praise
00:05:20.22\00:05:28.19
Forever God is faithful

Amen.
00:06:38.59\00:06:40.44
How many of you are just glad
00:06:40.47\00:06:41.50
to be the house
for worship today?
00:06:41.53\00:06:43.64
To come and have prayers
00:06:43.67\00:06:44.74
you see friends
and our loved ones
00:06:44.77\00:06:46.84
who had a long week
00:06:46.87\00:06:48.29
and God brings us back
Sabbath to Sabbath fellowship.
00:06:48.32\00:06:52.17
And so we have a new
song we want to teach you
00:06:52.20\00:06:54.56
it's about the Sabbath
00:06:54.59\00:06:56.53
its called "This Is Your Day."
00:06:56.56\00:07:00.34
God declared it
so this is your day
00:07:00.37\00:07:02.13
we are gonna teach
you too at this time.
00:07:02.16\00:07:04.01
We sing the verse
and the chorus for you.
00:07:04.04\00:07:05.76
it's very easy so
when you catch it join in.
00:07:09.02\00:07:10.93
It says, "A time,
set aside for worship"
00:07:18.10\00:07:20.80
A time, set aside for worship
00:07:20.83\00:07:27.20
Sanctified and perfect.
00:07:27.23\00:07:28.62
Sanctified and perfect
00:07:28.65\00:07:31.49
Purified and ture.
00:07:31.52\00:07:33.11
Purified and ture
00:07:33.14\00:07:35.30
That's the same level you
sing that with us "A time."
00:07:35.33\00:07:38.18
A time
00:07:38.21\00:07:39.51
For every tribe and nation.
00:07:39.54\00:07:41.46
For every tribe and nation
00:07:41.49\00:07:44.25
For all of your creation.
00:07:44.28\00:07:45.62
For all of your creation
00:07:45.65\00:07:48.69
To come and honor You.
00:07:48.72\00:07:49.88
To come and honor You
00:07:49.91\00:07:52.64
And the chorus,
"You are my Creator."
00:07:52.67\00:07:54.37
You are my creator,
Lord over Heaven and Earth
00:07:54.40\00:08:01.52
I hear you you're my sustainer.
00:08:01.55\00:08:02.98
You are my sustainer,
00:08:03.01\00:08:05.86
My soul You
redeemed from the curse
00:08:05.89\00:08:11.22
And as I delight in you
00:08:11.25\00:08:14.35
You cause me to ride on
the high places of the earth
00:08:14.38\00:08:20.10
My king, my God,
00:08:20.13\00:08:24.04
This is Your day
00:08:24.07\00:08:28.29
Just simple enough,
let's try it again all together
00:08:28.32\00:08:30.99
"A time, set a
side for worship."
00:08:31.02\00:08:33.59
A time, set aside for worship
00:08:33.62\00:08:41.17
Sanctified and perfect
00:08:41.20\00:08:44.24
Purified and ture.
00:08:44.27\00:08:45.51
Purified and ture
00:08:45.54\00:08:50.57
A time, for
every tribe and nation
00:08:50.60\00:08:57.73
For all of your creation
00:08:57.76\00:09:00.96
To come and honor You.
00:09:00.99\00:09:02.02
To come and honor You
00:09:02.05\00:09:05.04
You are my creator.
00:09:05.07\00:09:06.65
You are my creator,
Lord over Heaven and Earth.
00:09:06.68\00:09:13.88
My sustainer.
00:09:13.91\00:09:15.18
You are my sustainer
00:09:15.21\00:09:18.02
My soul You
redeemed from the curse
00:09:18.05\00:09:23.57
And as I delight in You
00:09:23.60\00:09:26.47
You cause me to ride on
the high places of the earth
00:09:26.50\00:09:32.22
My king, my God,
00:09:32.25\00:09:36.15
This is Your day
00:09:36.18\00:09:40.81
My king, my God,
00:09:40.84\00:09:44.71
This is Your day
00:09:44.74\00:09:46.92
How great is our God.
00:09:52.55\00:09:56.26
This picture heavenly seen,
00:09:56.29\00:09:58.42
together the splendor.
00:10:08.98\00:10:11.23
The splendor of the King
00:10:11.26\00:10:18.12
Clothed in majesty
00:10:18.15\00:10:22.70
Let all the earth rejoice
00:10:22.73\00:10:25.90
Let all the earth rejoice
00:10:25.93\00:10:30.04
He wraps Himself in light
00:10:30.07\00:10:36.65
And darkness tries to hide
00:10:36.68\00:10:41.81
And trembles at His voice
00:10:41.84\00:10:45.10
And trembles at His voice
00:10:45.13\00:10:49.14
How great is our
God, sing with me
00:10:49.17\00:10:55.96
How great is our
God, and all will see
00:10:55.99\00:11:02.26
How great, how great is our God
00:11:02.29\00:11:09.86
Age to age, He stands
00:11:14.89\00:11:20.71
And time is in His hands
00:11:20.74\00:11:25.79
Beginning and the End
00:11:25.82\00:11:28.61
Beginning and the End
00:11:28.64\00:11:32.65
The Godhead Three in One
00:11:32.68\00:11:39.38
Father, Spirit, Son
00:11:39.41\00:11:43.65
The Lion and the Lamb
00:11:43.68\00:11:46.91
The Lion and the Lamb
00:11:46.94\00:11:50.95
How great is our
God, sing with me
00:11:50.98\00:11:57.38
How great is our
God, and all will see
00:11:57.41\00:12:03.42
How great, how great is our God
00:12:03.45\00:12:10.57
Name above all names,
00:12:15.67\00:12:19.67
You are worthy of all praise
00:12:19.70\00:12:27.00
And my heart will sing
00:12:27.03\00:12:29.49
How great is our God
00:12:29.52\00:12:37.14
Name above all names.
00:12:37.17\00:12:39.15
Name above all names
00:12:39.18\00:12:44.79
You are worthy of our praise
00:12:44.82\00:12:50.37
And my heart will sing
00:12:50.40\00:12:52.79
How great is our God
00:12:52.82\00:12:57.66
How great is our
God, sing with me
00:13:01.85\00:13:08.43
How great is our
God, and all will see
00:13:08.46\00:13:14.93
How great, how great is our God
00:13:14.96\00:13:22.41
Come unto Him
00:13:55.09\00:14:00.83
all ye that labor
00:14:00.86\00:14:06.63
Come unto Him
00:14:06.66\00:14:11.71
that are heavy laden
00:14:11.74\00:14:18.54
And He will give you rest
00:14:18.57\00:14:24.12
Come unto Him
00:14:30.55\00:14:37.03
all ye that labor
00:14:37.06\00:14:43.13
Come unto Him
00:14:43.16\00:14:49.36
that are heavy laden
00:14:49.39\00:14:55.44
And He will give you rest
00:14:55.47\00:15:01.15
Take His yoke upon you,
00:15:08.02\00:15:13.42
and learn of Him
00:15:13.45\00:15:19.57
For He is meek
00:15:19.60\00:15:25.64
and lowly of heart
00:15:25.67\00:15:31.51
And ye shall find rest
00:15:31.54\00:15:37.59
And ye shall find rest
00:15:37.62\00:15:43.99
unto your souls
00:15:44.02\00:15:49.62
Take His yoke upon you,
00:15:56.58\00:16:02.55
and learn of Him
00:16:02.58\00:16:08.77
For He is meek
00:16:08.80\00:16:15.03
and lowly of heart
00:16:15.06\00:16:21.14
And He shall find rest
00:16:21.17\00:16:27.69
And ye shall find rest
00:16:27.72\00:16:33.90
unto your souls
00:16:33.93\00:16:40.89
Let's pray together.
00:17:13.29\00:17:15.57
Oh Father, what when
an appropriate prayer
00:17:15.60\00:17:19.78
on a day like today.
00:17:19.81\00:17:22.62
The words of our
Lord and Savior come to me
00:17:22.65\00:17:26.02
they are weary heavy laden
00:17:26.05\00:17:27.84
I will give you rest
come to Me and so we have.
00:17:27.87\00:17:33.13
A few moments remain
in this house of Yours
00:17:33.16\00:17:40.11
engage our minds and
communicate with our hearts.
00:17:40.14\00:17:46.10
We pray in Jesus name, amen.
00:17:46.13\00:17:49.05
This last week I
received an email
00:17:52.53\00:17:54.76
from a student
somewhere who had been listening
00:17:59.03\00:18:02.37
last weekend on the radio
00:18:02.40\00:18:05.08
as we began this series.
00:18:05.11\00:18:08.32
I want to read to you
a portion of that email.
00:18:08.35\00:18:14.20
Dr. Nelson, I
listen to your presentation
00:18:14.23\00:18:16.61
on the refreshing
delusion today via radio.
00:18:16.64\00:18:23.21
I'm coming to consider
myself a closet atheist
00:18:23.24\00:18:28.49
which makes your
confrontational Dawkins,
00:18:28.52\00:18:30.41
that would be Richard
Dawkins we looked at his book
00:18:30.44\00:18:32.59
The God Delusion last week
00:18:32.62\00:18:34.59
which makes your
confrontation of Dawkins
00:18:34.62\00:18:36.42
a particular significance
at this point in my search.
00:18:36.45\00:18:40.08
And then he describes the family
00:18:40.11\00:18:42.80
he grew up in a very
Christian family, obviously
00:18:42.83\00:18:45.92
and as a result
my bookshelf is lined
00:18:45.95\00:18:47.98
with titles by Josh McDowell,
00:18:48.01\00:18:49.98
Michael Behe
and Alister McGrath.
00:18:50.01\00:18:52.71
Those are all Christian writers,
scientists and theologians.
00:18:52.74\00:18:56.49
But those books they've
been steadily losing ground
00:18:56.52\00:18:59.62
as the scales tip in
favor of Richard Dawkins,
00:18:59.65\00:19:03.30
Daniel Dennett, Michael
Shermer all atheist authors
00:19:03.33\00:19:09.41
and the deafening voice
of the academic community
00:19:09.44\00:19:12.74
at large, all right.
00:19:12.77\00:19:16.35
I have to admit
that despite my attempts
00:19:16.38\00:19:18.20
to be an objective learner
00:19:18.23\00:19:19.64
my worldview is essentially
a leaf swaying in the winds off
00:19:19.67\00:19:23.62
cognitive
dissonance and peer pressure.
00:19:23.65\00:19:28.06
I gather from the website
that there will be a second part
00:19:28.09\00:19:30.42
to the refreshing
delusion next week?
00:19:30.45\00:19:33.20
Actually there are six parts
we are now in-- in part two.
00:19:33.23\00:19:36.84
I look forward to it.
00:19:36.87\00:19:38.02
My challenge to
you would be this.
00:19:38.05\00:19:41.27
Wow. Impress me.
00:19:41.30\00:19:44.34
I want to tell you I have such
a hard time impressing my wife
00:19:47.97\00:19:51.73
how could I
possibly impress you?
00:19:51.76\00:19:56.68
At this rate it
probably won't be long
00:19:56.71\00:19:59.68
before I begin
losing ties with the church.
00:19:59.71\00:20:05.05
And the outside voices
will be all I can hear.
00:20:05.08\00:20:09.50
Your voice is one of the voices
00:20:09.53\00:20:12.24
that has a chance to make
a cogent impact on a paradigm
00:20:12.27\00:20:15.37
that I and others like me share
00:20:15.40\00:20:17.46
before we get sucked
into the skeptic machine.
00:20:17.49\00:20:22.26
Thank you again for
your openness in the pulpit
00:20:22.29\00:20:25.40
and he signs his name.
00:20:25.43\00:20:30.11
I want to respond
to my young friend.
00:20:30.14\00:20:32.60
I don't know if he's here,
00:20:32.63\00:20:33.66
I don't know if he's
listening on the radio,
00:20:33.69\00:20:35.00
I don't if he is watching
on television right now.
00:20:35.03\00:20:39.70
I got your word,
00:20:39.73\00:20:42.28
it's a bit intimidating
its bit about impress me
00:20:42.31\00:20:46.24
but I want to respond to you
00:20:46.27\00:20:47.39
and I want to
respond to your friends.
00:20:47.42\00:20:50.22
As we noted last time
there are only two worldviews--
00:20:50.25\00:20:52.80
regarding human
origins only two worldviews.
00:20:52.83\00:20:54.89
One is called naturalism
where nature reigns supreme
00:20:54.92\00:20:59.99
and my -- and the young
writers absolutely right,
00:21:00.02\00:21:03.17
this worldview is
the deafening voice
00:21:03.20\00:21:04.86
to the academic
community at large.
00:21:04.89\00:21:07.32
No question.
00:21:07.35\00:21:08.69
The other worldview
00:21:08.72\00:21:09.75
it's the older
worldview super naturalism.
00:21:09.78\00:21:13.53
Above and beyond nature
there is a divine creator.
00:21:13.56\00:21:16.97
There is no third option.
00:21:19.42\00:21:21.06
There is no middle ground
00:21:21.09\00:21:23.11
when it comes to human origin.
00:21:23.14\00:21:24.69
Only those two worldviews
00:21:24.72\00:21:27.88
which is why I
take very seriously
00:21:27.91\00:21:29.54
the challenge of this
young writer impress me.
00:21:29.57\00:21:33.98
And while there's no way
I can impress you, no way.
00:21:34.01\00:21:37.54
Nevertheless I want
to invite you to join me
00:21:37.57\00:21:39.99
all of us join
together and ponder a bit longer
00:21:40.02\00:21:42.56
the last day of
creation in the biblical account
00:21:42.59\00:21:45.59
recorded here in Holy Scripture.
00:21:45.62\00:21:48.69
Open your Bible with me please,
00:21:48.72\00:21:50.08
to the Bible's
first book Bresheit.
00:21:50.11\00:21:53.15
The first word in Hebrew
00:21:53.18\00:21:54.31
is the title in Hebrew of
the book in the beginning.
00:21:54.34\00:21:57.02
Genesis 1 was
where we were last week.
00:21:58.65\00:22:02.81
We moved into Genesis 2, I
want to return to Genesis 2.
00:22:02.84\00:22:05.67
If you didn't bring a Bible
00:22:05.70\00:22:06.77
please grab the few
Bible right in front of you,
00:22:06.80\00:22:08.50
you need to track this today.
00:22:08.53\00:22:09.75
Especially today
it will be page 2
00:22:09.78\00:22:12.11
in your pew Bible Genesis 2,
00:22:12.14\00:22:15.53
New King James Version,
there in a pew Genesis 2
00:22:15.56\00:22:22.01
so that I have right here.
00:22:22.04\00:22:25.02
Genesis 2:1 here we go, "Thus"
00:22:25.05\00:22:29.74
the six days are
described there in Genesis 1.
00:22:29.77\00:22:32.03
Six days of creation.
00:22:32.06\00:22:33.09
"Thus the heavens and the earth,
00:22:33.12\00:22:34.17
and all the host to
them were finished."
00:22:34.20\00:22:35.92
Verse 2 "And on the seventh day
00:22:35.95\00:22:37.92
God ended His
work which He had done
00:22:37.95\00:22:40.15
and He rested on the seventh day
00:22:40.18\00:22:41.95
from all His work
which He had done."
00:22:41.98\00:22:43.47
Now verse 3 "Then God blessed
the seventh day and sanctified
00:22:43.50\00:22:48.15
because in it He
rested from all His work
00:22:48.18\00:22:50.68
which God had created and made."
00:22:50.71\00:22:53.59
I got to ask you
something have you ever wondered
00:22:53.62\00:22:55.43
why there is a little
bit of cognitive dissonance
00:22:55.46\00:22:57.88
in what we just read.
00:22:57.91\00:22:59.35
I mean, it says,
how is this possible?
00:22:59.38\00:23:02.28
It says the God ended
His work on the seventh day.
00:23:02.31\00:23:05.32
He did two things He
ended his work any also rested,
00:23:05.35\00:23:08.05
it doesn't seem
logical at all to me.
00:23:08.08\00:23:09.22
It ought to read
00:23:09.25\00:23:10.28
and on the sixth
day He ended His work
00:23:10.31\00:23:11.93
and on the
seventh day He rested.
00:23:11.96\00:23:14.06
But ladies and gentlemen,
that is not what we just read.
00:23:14.09\00:23:18.49
I came across the
work of a Danish writer.
00:23:18.52\00:23:23.30
I've been impressed
00:23:23.33\00:23:25.08
with his careful
logical philosophical thinking.
00:23:25.11\00:23:30.68
And his writing
is bit of reasoning
00:23:30.71\00:23:33.57
as help clear up any confusion
00:23:33.60\00:23:35.12
and so I want to share
top of your study guide,
00:23:35.15\00:23:40.07

00:24:15.83\00:24:17.96
the Three Act
Play, the Three Act Play.
00:24:17.99\00:24:21.50
You look for that one
its part two in the series.
00:24:21.53\00:24:23.87
It will say study guide there,
00:24:23.90\00:24:25.52
you click and you'll have
the same study guide we have.
00:24:25.55\00:24:28.47
Let's begin with the
words of this Danish writer's.
00:24:28.50\00:24:30.56
His name M. L. Andreasen,
00:24:30.59\00:24:32.60
all right first quotation
at the top of your study guide
00:24:32.63\00:24:37.00
"The heavens and the
earth were indeed finished"
00:24:37.03\00:24:38.87
we just read that Genesis 2:1
00:24:38.90\00:24:40.65
"but God's work was not ended.
00:24:40.68\00:24:42.70
He had yet to make the Sabbath,
00:24:42.73\00:24:44.25
and this He could
do only on the Sabbath.
00:24:44.28\00:24:47.74
And so God made the
Sabbath on the Sabbath,
00:24:47.77\00:24:50.00
and He made it by
resting" write that in.
00:24:50.03\00:24:52.63
"He made it by resting.
That resting ended His work.
00:24:52.66\00:24:58.01
The Sabbath was
the finishing touch.
00:24:58.04\00:25:00.27
Only when God had made
the Sabbath was His work done.
00:25:00.30\00:25:05.79
Whoever believes
in a finished creation
00:25:05.82\00:25:07.81
must of necessity
believe in the Sabbath."
00:25:07.84\00:25:12.78
What's-- what's his point?
00:25:12.81\00:25:14.11
It's a point that
Genesis 2 what Moses is making.
00:25:14.14\00:25:16.94
Look, God's work was
not ended on a sixth day.
00:25:16.97\00:25:19.69
There was more work to be done
00:25:19.72\00:25:20.81
and so God gave the
finishing touch to His work
00:25:20.84\00:25:23.66
by resting on the seventh day.
00:25:23.69\00:25:27.50
If God had ended
His work on a sixth day
00:25:27.53\00:25:29.85
somewhat conclude
you know the Sabbath
00:25:29.88\00:25:31.33
really is not that essential
to God's original design,
00:25:31.36\00:25:33.86
you know, you
don't have to have it.
00:25:33.89\00:25:36.10
No way a Genesis
two cries out no, no, no
00:25:36.13\00:25:39.85
He was not
finished on a sixth day.
00:25:39.88\00:25:42.97
In fat jot this down
00:25:43.00\00:25:44.08
"God ended His
work on the seventh day,
00:25:44.11\00:25:46.34
which means that in
some significant way
00:25:46.37\00:25:48.94
the seventh day is
utterly is essential
00:25:48.97\00:25:52.78
to both the divine
Creator and the human race."
00:25:52.81\00:25:57.75
To reinforce the high premium
00:25:57.78\00:25:59.23
that the divine Creator places
on the seventh day Genesis
00:25:59.26\00:26:02.36
two describe three
divine acts three acts,
00:26:02.39\00:26:06.68
a three act play
here it goes, three acts.
00:26:06.71\00:26:10.05
Let's read it again
this will be verse three
00:26:10.08\00:26:12.33
"Then God blessed the
seventh day and sanctified it
00:26:12.36\00:26:16.25
because in it He
rested from all His work
00:26:16.28\00:26:18.58
which God had created and made."
00:26:18.61\00:26:22.84
What are those three
divine acts jot them down.
00:26:22.87\00:26:25.42
Let's go, number one.
00:26:25.45\00:26:26.48
Divine act number
one in His three act play
00:26:26.51\00:26:28.29
God blessed the seventh day.
00:26:28.32\00:26:33.14
Do you know
that when God blesses
00:26:33.17\00:26:34.31
and the Hebrew
word here is Barach.
00:26:34.34\00:26:36.01
When God blesses
something or someone
00:26:36.04\00:26:38.03
His posture assumes a
very intentional stance.
00:26:38.06\00:26:42.95
Watch this, this is fascinating.
00:26:42.98\00:26:44.58
Let's go to remember Moses
and Aaron they were brothers,
00:26:44.61\00:26:49.97
Aaron was a leader
of the worship community
00:26:50.00\00:26:51.74
and Moses
instructed Aaron he said hey,
00:26:51.77\00:26:53.36
listen, when we
are done worship,
00:26:53.39\00:26:55.00
I want you to come out
every time and raise your hands
00:26:55.03\00:26:58.21
and give what we now
call the Aaronic blessing
00:26:58.24\00:27:00.89
it's in Numbers 6.
00:27:00.92\00:27:01.95
Notice what
happens in Numbers 6,
00:27:01.98\00:27:03.44
let's put it on the screen.
00:27:03.47\00:27:04.60
Numbers 6:24, 25
"The Lord bless you"
00:27:04.63\00:27:08.86
okay, so that's
what's going to happen now.
00:27:08.89\00:27:10.26
"The Lord bless
you and keep you,
00:27:10.29\00:27:12.56
the Lord make His
face to shine upon you,
00:27:12.59\00:27:18.31
and be gracious to you,
00:27:18.34\00:27:20.12
the Lord" here
comes the face again.
00:27:20.15\00:27:21.35
"The Lord lift up
His countenance upon you
00:27:21.38\00:27:23.99
and give you peace."
00:27:24.02\00:27:25.16
That's the Aaronic blessing.
00:27:25.19\00:27:26.49
Is that isolated
in that blessing?
00:27:26.52\00:27:27.65
No it is not.
00:27:27.68\00:27:28.71
Take a look at this Psalm 67:1
00:27:28.74\00:27:30.85
It's a prayer to God,
00:27:30.88\00:27:31.91
"God be merciful
to us and bless us
00:27:31.94\00:27:34.64
and cause His face"
00:27:34.67\00:27:37.03
When you bless us
here's what's gonna happen
00:27:37.06\00:27:38.45
you are gonna "cause
your face to shine upon us."
00:27:38.48\00:27:42.53
Write it down please,
00:27:42.56\00:27:43.73
"When God blesses
something or someone,
00:27:43.76\00:27:46.14
He turns His face toward it
to give it His full attention."
00:27:46.17\00:27:52.09
Hey come on guys, you and
I are the same way aren't we?
00:27:52.12\00:27:54.00
We are the same way.
00:27:54.03\00:27:56.16
I remember the very first car
I ever bought it was in college.
00:27:56.19\00:27:58.93
It was a brand new 11
year old Volkswagen Bug.
00:27:58.96\00:28:03.42
Oh, I love that car look
at flaky green paint job,
00:28:03.45\00:28:06.87
oversized rear tires
rested and holy muffler
00:28:06.90\00:28:10.08
but I could not take
my eyes off of that car.
00:28:10.11\00:28:15.19
Every time I came out of
the door I'm telling for sure
00:28:15.22\00:28:17.00
I look over in the
parking lot is it still there?
00:28:17.03\00:28:18.51
Oh, yes, lovely, lovely.
00:28:18.54\00:28:21.96
All right,
because when something
00:28:21.99\00:28:23.29
is of great value to you,
00:28:23.32\00:28:25.08
you put your face, full face
00:28:25.11\00:28:27.28
and you hold your
eyes and you lock on.
00:28:27.31\00:28:31.17
The scripture say
that when God blesses us
00:28:31.20\00:28:33.65
He turns His smiling
00:28:33.68\00:28:35.16
and beaming face full
on straight into our face.
00:28:35.19\00:28:40.11
That's a means to
get a blessing from God.
00:28:40.14\00:28:43.65
Karen and I were at
some holiday gathering
00:28:43.68\00:28:46.08
the other evening and
I gazed across the room
00:28:46.11\00:28:48.12
it was one of those moments
00:28:48.15\00:28:49.76
that husbands
and wives know about
00:28:49.79\00:28:51.23
even if you've been
married for nearly 34 years.
00:28:51.26\00:28:55.10
She turned and it was
an epiphany of beauty.
00:28:55.13\00:28:59.74
I could not get my
eyes off at that girl.
00:28:59.77\00:29:04.27
Why?
00:29:04.30\00:29:05.33
Because when something
is of great value to you,
00:29:05.36\00:29:07.95
you'll lock your eyes on it.
00:29:07.98\00:29:09.64
When God blesses,
how does that line go
00:29:09.67\00:29:12.41
and God blessed the seventh day,
00:29:12.44\00:29:16.76
God did something
to the seventh day,
00:29:16.79\00:29:18.47
He does not do to the first day
00:29:18.50\00:29:19.77
or the second
day or the third day
00:29:19.80\00:29:20.90
or fourth, fifth and
sixth only to the seventh.
00:29:20.93\00:29:23.61
Does got turn His face
and with that beaming smile
00:29:23.64\00:29:28.12
He locks His eyes
on that seventh day
00:29:28.15\00:29:32.66
because when
something is of great value
00:29:32.69\00:29:34.26
to you keep
turning your face toward
00:29:34.29\00:29:36.32
and the seventh
day is the only day
00:29:36.35\00:29:39.51
that God Has blessed.
00:29:39.54\00:29:41.53
Which is why by the
way for the life of me
00:29:41.56\00:29:43.86
I'm little slow
but I cannot imagine
00:29:43.89\00:29:46.38
how anybody could
come along and announce
00:29:46.41\00:29:48.89
that the blessing of God
00:29:48.92\00:29:49.95
has been removed
from the seventh day
00:29:49.98\00:29:52.03
and transferred to another day
00:29:52.06\00:29:53.61
especially since
there is not a solitary hint
00:29:53.64\00:29:56.54
of such a removal and transfer
in all of Holy Scripture.
00:29:56.57\00:30:02.51
What so big deal
about the seventh day
00:30:02.54\00:30:05.11
we will find it now keep going.
00:30:05.14\00:30:06.76
Let's read the verse 3 again
00:30:06.79\00:30:08.78
"Then God blessed the
seventh day and sanctified it
00:30:08.81\00:30:12.63
because in it He
rested from all His work
00:30:12.66\00:30:15.51
which God had created and made."
00:30:15.54\00:30:18.66
Okay here comes Act
number two in the divine play,
00:30:18.69\00:30:21.06
act number two, jot it down.
00:30:21.09\00:30:22.70
"God sanctified
the seventh day."
00:30:22.73\00:30:26.72
Now the Hebrew word
for sanctified is qadash.
00:30:26.75\00:30:29.14
It's a verb form
of the word Holy.
00:30:29.17\00:30:31.09
So essentially what
Genesis two is saying
00:30:31.12\00:30:32.91
is God holyized the seventh day.
00:30:32.94\00:30:38.21
Eugene Peterson
in that marvelous
00:30:38.24\00:30:40.75
paraphrase of his
called "The Message"
00:30:40.78\00:30:42.80
nailed it, he nailed it.
00:30:42.83\00:30:44.05
Jot this down, here
is how he translated it.
00:30:44.08\00:30:46.52
This is Genesis
2:3, the message reads.
00:30:46.55\00:30:48.75
"He" God "made it a Holy."
00:30:48.78\00:30:51.70
Capital H, makes
sure you get the capital.
00:30:51.73\00:30:53.75
"He made it a Holy Day."
00:30:53.78\00:30:57.86
And God made the
seventh day a Holy Day.
00:30:57.89\00:31:02.17
Hey listen, you know
what makes something holy?
00:31:02.20\00:31:04.45
What makes something holy?
00:31:04.48\00:31:06.26
I you remember
that story the old
00:31:06.29\00:31:07.78
middle age shepherd
attending his father-in-law
00:31:07.81\00:31:10.66
sheep out in the
middle of nowhere
00:31:10.69\00:31:12.98
minding his own business.
00:31:13.01\00:31:14.80
When one day he
sees this towering sheet,
00:31:14.83\00:31:19.84
you remember that,
towering sheet of orange flame
00:31:19.87\00:31:24.79
and inside that
sheet is a green bush
00:31:24.82\00:31:29.45
that is not being
consumed and he's never seen
00:31:29.48\00:31:32.66
anything like it
in his whole life.
00:31:32.69\00:31:33.92
So Moses tells the
sheep to stay right there
00:31:33.95\00:31:35.78
and Moses is walking up to
the bush and he has a stick
00:31:35.81\00:31:38.24
and he's gonna
poke it at the flames
00:31:38.27\00:31:40.34
when this voice
comes booming out,
00:31:40.37\00:31:44.19
take off your shoes
you are on holy ground.
00:31:44.22\00:31:48.28
Question what made that
ground and that bush holy?
00:31:48.31\00:31:51.57
Answer, the very presence
and glory of God Almighty.
00:31:51.60\00:31:57.60
Isn't that right?
00:31:57.63\00:31:58.88
I mean a few months later
Moses and the children of Israel
00:31:58.91\00:32:01.27
God has deliver them from Egypt
00:32:01.30\00:32:02.42
they are on their
way to the Promised Land
00:32:02.45\00:32:04.11
and they built this
little, they built this little
00:32:04.14\00:32:05.96
lean to church made
out of tapestry walls.
00:32:05.99\00:32:09.48
They called it the
sanctuary and on that day
00:32:09.51\00:32:11.49
they opened it
for the first time
00:32:11.52\00:32:12.95
you look at Exodus 40
00:32:12.98\00:32:14.30
right there at
the end there is this
00:32:14.33\00:32:16.76
you remember the pillar of
cloud that lead them every day
00:32:16.79\00:32:18.97
where they went
you remember that?
00:32:19.00\00:32:20.03
It just comes
descending and turns into fire
00:32:20.06\00:32:22.38
there is so much glory
in the place not one priest,
00:32:22.41\00:32:26.65
not even Moses
himself would dare to enter
00:32:26.68\00:32:29.64
it's become holy ground.
00:32:29.67\00:32:32.04
Question what turned that
sanctuary into holy ground?
00:32:32.07\00:32:36.83
Answer, the very presence
and glory of God Almighty.
00:32:36.86\00:32:42.47
So when the same Moses
speaks of this same God
00:32:42.50\00:32:45.65
and He describes
God turning a day,
00:32:45.68\00:32:48.13
turning a day into
holy sanctifying a day.
00:32:48.16\00:32:54.14
Question, what is it that
makes, the seventh day holy?
00:32:54.17\00:32:59.34
Answer, the very presence
00:32:59.37\00:33:02.38
and glory of almighty God.
00:33:02.41\00:33:07.37
Keep your pen moving.
00:33:07.40\00:33:09.07
God is present in now this
is-- this is very important.
00:33:09.10\00:33:12.55
The point is God
is present in not on.
00:33:12.58\00:33:16.98
That's not as
some we forgot in there
00:33:17.01\00:33:18.17
that supposed to be there.
00:33:18.20\00:33:19.23
God is present in
not on the seventh day,
00:33:19.26\00:33:22.69
the seventh day Sabbath
00:33:22.72\00:33:23.75
which is why
keep your pen moving.
00:33:23.78\00:33:24.81
Abraham
Heschel, the great mystic
00:33:24.84\00:33:25.98
and theologian could write,
00:33:26.01\00:33:27.10
"The seventh day is
like a palace in time
00:33:27.13\00:33:30.40
with a kingdom for all."
00:33:30.43\00:33:33.34
Look, God not only turns
his face isn't this incredible.
00:33:33.37\00:33:36.05
God not only turns his
face toward the seventh day
00:33:36.08\00:33:39.00
He actually infuses it
00:33:39.03\00:33:40.77
so that it
becomes He becomes it.
00:33:40.80\00:33:44.57
Which by the way
ladies and gentlemen,
00:33:44.60\00:33:46.57
is why and this is
critical on the seventh day.
00:33:46.60\00:33:49.48
I used to get this
backwards on the seventh day
00:33:49.51\00:33:53.58
God invites the
human race to enter His day
00:33:53.61\00:33:56.43
we do not invite
God to enter our space.
00:33:56.46\00:33:59.95
I mean we've
tended to think well,
00:33:59.98\00:34:01.01
the Sabbath is when
you say God, come on in
00:34:01.04\00:34:02.50
coming into our little house,
00:34:02.53\00:34:03.56
come into my dormitory
room spend the day with me.
00:34:03.59\00:34:05.22
God says, you got a timeout.
00:34:05.25\00:34:07.60
You just walk into My space
00:34:07.63\00:34:09.73
it's My palace in
time welcome child,
00:34:09.76\00:34:13.78
nice to have you here today.
00:34:13.81\00:34:15.64
See there's a
difference. Jot it down.
00:34:15.67\00:34:19.20
"For it is God's very
presence in the seventh day
00:34:19.23\00:34:21.65
that makes it both
holy and wholly his."
00:34:21.68\00:34:24.52
Make sure you spell
the holies different.
00:34:24.55\00:34:26.01
To different holies, The
seventh day makes it holy
00:34:26.04\00:34:28.15
because God's presence
00:34:28.18\00:34:29.21
is infused into
the very seventh day
00:34:29.24\00:34:31.20
and by the way
it's not only that holy
00:34:31.23\00:34:32.89
it's the W-H
O-L-L-Y wholly as well.
00:34:32.92\00:34:35.95
This is
exclusively it is all mine.
00:34:35.98\00:34:39.45
I used to think
that well this day
00:34:39.48\00:34:40.51
is mine He gave it to me.
00:34:40.54\00:34:41.92
No, no I didn't
give it to you to posses
00:34:41.95\00:34:45.02
I gave it to you as a
gift to spend with Me.
00:34:45.05\00:34:47.62
It's My day.
00:34:47.65\00:34:49.75
Wow, which is why
for the life for me,
00:34:49.78\00:34:54.28
I cannot imagine how anybody
could come along and announce
00:34:54.31\00:34:57.18
that God's holy
presence is somehow been removed
00:34:57.21\00:34:59.91
from that from
His palace and time
00:34:59.94\00:35:01.39
which has been removed and
transfer to some other day.
00:35:01.42\00:35:04.44
Come on, who in the world
00:35:04.47\00:35:06.75
would have the
authority to do that
00:35:06.78\00:35:11.28
especially when
there's not a solitary hint
00:35:11.31\00:35:13.04
of such a removal and
transfer in all Holy Scripture.
00:35:13.07\00:35:15.72
I'm telling you as you--
as you university students say
00:35:15.75\00:35:18.60
God is all over the seventh day,
00:35:18.63\00:35:20.85
He's all over its His day.
00:35:20.88\00:35:24.58
It must be a-- it
must be a huge day to God.
00:35:24.61\00:35:31.58
Why is it so special?
00:35:31.61\00:35:33.19
That's what we are
trying to find out.
00:35:33.22\00:35:34.88
Let's read it again
verse 3, Genesis 2:3
00:35:34.91\00:35:36.97
"Then God blessed the seventh
day and He sanctified it,
00:35:37.00\00:35:41.03
because in it He
rested from all His work
00:35:41.06\00:35:43.42
which God had created and made."
00:35:43.45\00:35:47.07
Its-- a three act divine play
00:35:47.10\00:35:48.85
here comes act
number three, jot it down.
00:35:48.88\00:35:50.35
Act number one, God
blessed the seventh day,
00:35:50.38\00:35:52.43
act number two, God
sanctify the seventh day
00:35:52.46\00:35:54.68
and act number three got
rested on the seventh today.
00:35:54.71\00:35:59.60
But I got to ask you
come on, just in all candor
00:35:59.63\00:36:01.34
why would had God
please you tell me--
00:36:01.37\00:36:03.25
why do God who is infinite?
00:36:03.28\00:36:04.31
You know what infinite means
it means I'm above all time,
00:36:04.34\00:36:06.52
I'm not affected by time.
00:36:06.55\00:36:07.75
Why would have God who is
both infinite and amputation?
00:36:07.78\00:36:10.13
Do you know what it
means to be amputation?
00:36:10.16\00:36:11.34
It means you have all power.
00:36:11.37\00:36:12.40
You can do anything
00:36:12.43\00:36:13.46
just like, just moving
your figure it happens.
00:36:13.49\00:36:16.70
How could a God like
that need time for rest?
00:36:16.73\00:36:20.72
He need to rest.
00:36:20.75\00:36:23.70
In fact, look at
this, this is amazing.
00:36:23.73\00:36:25.53
This verse is in your Bible.
00:36:25.56\00:36:27.10
This will be Isaiah
Chapter 40, fill this in please.
00:36:27.13\00:36:29.39
"The everlasting God,
the Lord, the Creator"
00:36:29.42\00:36:31.82
notice
intentionally the wording there
00:36:31.85\00:36:34.23
"The Creator of
the ends of the earth,
00:36:34.26\00:36:36.55
neither faints nor is weary."
00:36:36.58\00:36:40.93
The Bible make sure that we know
00:36:40.96\00:36:42.38
that whatever's
happening on the seventh day
00:36:42.41\00:36:44.56
with Almighty God has nothing
to do with physical rest.
00:36:44.59\00:36:48.42
He never gets weary.
00:36:48.45\00:36:49.48
Why would I need to
rest out of tiredness?
00:36:49.51\00:36:52.84
No it can't be.
00:36:52.87\00:36:55.91
Remember the Hebrew
word for rest is shabbos,
00:36:55.94\00:36:59.11
from which comes the
word Shabbat or Sabbath.
00:36:59.14\00:37:02.64
Why would God
need a Sabbath rest?
00:37:02.67\00:37:05.49
Clearly something more
00:37:05.52\00:37:06.82
got to be more
than physical rest.
00:37:06.85\00:37:08.21
I mean, you think about it.
00:37:08.24\00:37:09.27
To whom did God give the
first seventh day Sabbath?
00:37:09.30\00:37:11.84
To whom did God give it?
00:37:11.87\00:37:13.43
First to human
beings man and woman.
00:37:13.46\00:37:14.73
Of course Adam and Eve.
00:37:14.76\00:37:16.63
I want to ask you something,
are they worn out already?
00:37:16.66\00:37:19.79
Are they tired?
00:37:19.82\00:37:21.38
How could it be, they
just got made yesterday.
00:37:21.41\00:37:25.30
You can't get tired if
you are made yesterday,
00:37:25.33\00:37:28.39
can you?
00:37:28.42\00:37:29.70
Now, Sakae Kubo in
his book "God Meets Man"
00:37:29.73\00:37:35.51
makes the obvious point
that we so easily overlook
00:37:35.54\00:37:38.47
and I want to have
there in your study guide
00:37:38.50\00:37:39.79
so there it is,
Thus I'm quoting Kubo,
00:37:39.82\00:37:41.60
"Thus fittingly the
Sabbath for Adam and Eve
00:37:41.63\00:37:44.42
was the first full
day after their creation.
00:37:44.45\00:37:48.79
It was not because
they had labored for a week
00:37:48.82\00:37:50.74
and needed rest that God
invited them to celebrate it."
00:37:50.77\00:37:52.52
No.
00:37:52.55\00:37:53.58
"God met them on
their first day."
00:37:53.61\00:37:55.59
And I like this.
00:37:55.62\00:37:56.65
"Man's history with God
thus begins on the Sabbath,"
00:37:56.68\00:38:01.27
human history
begins on the Sabbath
00:38:01.30\00:38:04.63
"the seventh day
of the Creation week,
00:38:04.66\00:38:06.49
not on the first day."
00:38:06.52\00:38:10.37
Come on guys, this
is not rocket science.
00:38:10.40\00:38:12.52
Our first day as
a newly created race
00:38:12.55\00:38:15.25
was God's seventh day
00:38:15.28\00:38:16.92
thus, jot this
down will you please.
00:38:16.95\00:38:18.50
The Sabbath has ever been
00:38:18.53\00:38:20.17
the first day of
the rest of our lives.
00:38:20.20\00:38:25.44
It will double entendre there.
00:38:25.47\00:38:27.73
The first day of
the rest of our lives.
00:38:27.76\00:38:32.31
And what is it that
brings rest to our lives?
00:38:35.86\00:38:38.23
Oh, come on, what could
rest us and refresh us more
00:38:38.26\00:38:40.91
than a personal
friendship with our Creator?
00:38:40.94\00:38:43.61
I mean what would be
more resting, refreshing.
00:38:43.64\00:38:46.90
John Kellman he
is a Scottish writer
00:38:46.93\00:38:49.69
mid nineteenth century
00:38:49.72\00:38:51.58
describes why God
created this seventh day.
00:38:51.61\00:38:53.12
I like this, now jot it down.
00:38:53.15\00:38:54.81
"Every time the
Sabbath came round,
00:38:54.84\00:38:56.83
while it would of necessity
00:38:56.86\00:38:58.37
bring before the
minds of humanity
00:38:58.40\00:39:00.08
the glory of God's
wisdom, and power, and goodness,
00:39:00.11\00:39:02.54
as manifested in
His works of creation."
00:39:02.57\00:39:04.89
But there's more he is saying,
00:39:04.92\00:39:05.95
there's more
than just reminding us
00:39:05.98\00:39:07.08
that God is the Creator.
00:39:07.11\00:39:08.14
"It would bring still more
prominently before our minds,
00:39:08.17\00:39:12.05
and present in
special splendour"
00:39:12.08\00:39:14.49
he is writing as an Englishman
00:39:14.52\00:39:15.63
"and attractiveness, the
crowning glory of His love,
00:39:15.66\00:39:20.32
manifested in His coming so
very near to us in friendship
00:39:20.35\00:39:23.39
as man's glorious Friend."
00:39:23.42\00:39:30.35
Oh, I like that.
00:39:30.38\00:39:32.42
But Kellman is
saying us hey, hey look
00:39:32.45\00:39:34.02
the Sabbath is not-- is
not just about reminding us
00:39:34.05\00:39:36.72
that we have a Creator
and that there is a creation.
00:39:36.75\00:39:38.78
I mean, that's, that's wonderful
00:39:38.81\00:39:40.30
but an even higher
calling of the Sabbath
00:39:40.33\00:39:43.08
is not just that
God is our Creator
00:39:43.11\00:39:44.58
He is also our companion.
00:39:44.61\00:39:46.96
The God of the universe
00:39:46.99\00:39:48.05
is your
companion in the journey.
00:39:48.08\00:39:52.16
The three act
divine play on the Sabbath
00:39:52.19\00:39:54.95
makes it utterly clear
00:39:54.98\00:39:56.63
the gift of the Sabbath
is the friendship of God.
00:39:56.66\00:40:00.41
Nathan Greene a--
00:40:00.44\00:40:01.83
an internationally
celebrated artist
00:40:01.86\00:40:03.67
live just a few mile from us
00:40:03.70\00:40:05.03
right now painted that
painting and I love it.
00:40:05.06\00:40:07.65
Isn't that
great? I just love it.
00:40:07.68\00:40:09.92
"The gift of the Sabbath
is the friendship of God."
00:40:09.95\00:40:16.43
And that is why
ladies and gentlemen,
00:40:16.46\00:40:17.67
in the very middle
of the Ten Commandments
00:40:17.70\00:40:19.72
which by the way were
written by the Creator
00:40:19.75\00:40:21.88
with His own finger into stone
00:40:21.91\00:40:23.43
in the very
centre of the Decalogue
00:40:23.46\00:40:25.92
is inscribed the
fourth commandment,
00:40:25.95\00:40:28.66
the fourth commandment.
00:40:28.69\00:40:29.72
I want to end with this,
this will be our last text.
00:40:29.75\00:40:31.61
Exodus Chapter 20, we
are gonna look this one up,
00:40:31.64\00:40:34.90
20 so you just go to the
second book of the Bible.
00:40:34.93\00:40:37.52
If you have a pew
Bible that would be page 52.
00:40:37.55\00:40:41.58
Exodus Chapter 20,
we're only gonna look
00:40:41.61\00:40:44.47
at the fourth commandment
that begins in verse 8.
00:40:44.50\00:40:46.32
Exodus 20:8 all right,
00:40:46.35\00:40:53.05
Exodus 20:8
"Remember the Sabbath day,
00:40:53.08\00:40:57.52
to keep it holy."
00:40:57.55\00:40:59.26
Verse 9 "Six
days you shall labor
00:40:59.29\00:41:01.06
and do all your work."
00:41:01.09\00:41:02.12
Ten "But the seventh day
00:41:02.15\00:41:03.98
is the Sabbath of
the Lord your God.
00:41:04.01\00:41:06.47
In it you shall do no work.
00:41:06.50\00:41:07.53
You, nor your
son, nor your daughter,
00:41:07.56\00:41:08.72
nor your male servant,
nor you are female servant,
00:41:08.75\00:41:10.55
nor your cattle,
nor your stranger
00:41:10.58\00:41:12.13
who is with in your gates. Why?
00:41:12.16\00:41:13.40
Verse 11, "For in six
days the Lord made the heavens
00:41:13.43\00:41:16.45
and the earth, the
sea, and all that is in them
00:41:16.48\00:41:18.64
and rested on the seventh day.
00:41:18.67\00:41:21.00
Therefore the Lord blessed
00:41:21.03\00:41:22.74
the Sabbath day
and hallowed it."
00:41:22.77\00:41:26.46
Isn't that amazing?
00:41:26.49\00:41:27.52
This is the only command
00:41:27.55\00:41:28.58
that begin with
the word remember.
00:41:28.61\00:41:30.10
It's the only one in
the ten that appeals--
00:41:30.13\00:41:32.78
that appeals to
human memory, why?
00:41:32.81\00:41:36.20
Jot it down
00:41:36.23\00:41:37.26
because it is
the one commandment
00:41:37.29\00:41:39.33
the human race has known
00:41:39.36\00:41:41.04
from the beginning
of time, that's why.
00:41:41.07\00:41:44.93
You've always
known remember, remember
00:41:44.96\00:41:50.12
from day seven of creation
00:41:50.15\00:41:51.18
the divine gift of
the seventh day Sabbath
00:41:51.21\00:41:53.14
has been in play
in human history.
00:41:53.17\00:41:55.70
You know, come on
00:41:55.73\00:41:56.76
why we remember the
Sabbath to keep it holy?
00:41:56.79\00:41:58.71
Its stated the
finger of the Creator carved
00:41:58.74\00:42:01.25
He says, this
is, look at verse 11
00:42:01.28\00:42:03.59
"For in six days the Lord
made the heavens and the earth,
00:42:03.62\00:42:05.71
the sea in all that is in them,
and rested the seventh day.
00:42:05.74\00:42:08.87
Therefore the Lord blessed
00:42:08.90\00:42:10.21
the Sabbath day
and hallowed it."
00:42:10.24\00:42:13.28
Did you notice that
there we have it again
00:42:13.31\00:42:14.34
three act divine play.
00:42:14.37\00:42:15.58
That's it all
three acts are there.
00:42:15.61\00:42:18.65
God blessed the seventh day,
00:42:18.68\00:42:21.23
in other words on the
Sabbath God turns His face
00:42:21.26\00:42:24.65
full beaming smile
straight into the children
00:42:24.68\00:42:30.25
He has invited to
join Him on that day.
00:42:30.28\00:42:31.82
God blessed the seventh day,
God sanctified the seventh day.
00:42:31.85\00:42:35.88
He infuses His time,
00:42:35.91\00:42:37.74
His very self into
the time those 24 hours.
00:42:37.77\00:42:42.28
And third act, God
rested on the seventh day, i.e.,
00:42:42.31\00:42:45.01
the seventh day is the gift day
00:42:45.04\00:42:47.33
of His friendship
for the rest our lives.
00:42:47.36\00:42:51.37
No wonder, He placed
00:42:55.02\00:42:57.22
the fourth
commandment in the center.
00:42:57.25\00:42:58.97
And by the way, if
you count the words
00:42:59.00\00:43:00.46
of the Ten
Commandments in the Hebrew
00:43:00.49\00:43:01.74
and you start at the end
and you start at the beginning
00:43:01.77\00:43:03.86
you will come
right to the middle word
00:43:03.89\00:43:06.46
fourth commandment center.
00:43:06.49\00:43:10.13
Let me quote that
Danish writer again
00:43:10.16\00:43:13.46
who in this
context makes a point
00:43:13.49\00:43:15.22
I had never noted before.
00:43:15.25\00:43:17.30
M. L. Andreasen
it's in your study guide.
00:43:17.33\00:43:19.31
"The Sabbath command
is the only commandment
00:43:19.34\00:43:21.96
in the observance of
which God could join man."
00:43:21.99\00:43:27.91
You know, I never
thought about that
00:43:27.94\00:43:28.97
but it's got to be true.
00:43:29.00\00:43:30.33
I mean-- how is He,
how is God gonna join us in
00:43:30.36\00:43:31.95
you shall have no
other Gods before me.
00:43:31.98\00:43:33.93
Do they make sense?
00:43:33.96\00:43:34.99
How is He gonna join us and keep
00:43:35.02\00:43:36.45
you should-- you should not take
00:43:36.48\00:43:37.75
the name of the Lord
your God in vain, please.
00:43:37.78\00:43:40.67
He can't join us and honor
your father and your mother.
00:43:40.70\00:43:43.13
He doesn't have any parents,
00:43:43.16\00:43:44.19
He is the one that made parents.
00:43:44.22\00:43:46.79
How does He join
us and don't steal
00:43:46.82\00:43:47.85
or don't commit adultery?
00:43:47.88\00:43:48.91
He cannot join us.
00:43:48.94\00:43:49.97
It's the one commandment
of all ten it's the one.
00:43:50.00\00:43:53.44
"Remember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy,"
00:43:53.47\00:43:55.53
where this great
friendship day He comes down
00:43:55.56\00:43:58.59
and we join together
in that one commandment.
00:43:58.62\00:44:02.22
Andreasen goes on here,
00:44:02.25\00:44:03.74
"There is one
commandment in the observance
00:44:03.77\00:44:05.58
of which God could join
man, the Sabbath commandment.
00:44:05.61\00:44:09.22
Man can keep
it, God can keep it.
00:44:09.25\00:44:12.73
thus the Sabbath
is the meeting place."
00:44:12.76\00:44:16.58
I like that, it's the
only one, only one in a ten.
00:44:16.61\00:44:20.11
"The Sabbath is the
meeting place of God and man."
00:44:20.14\00:44:26.62
Which is why I repeat
this, for the life of me.
00:44:26.65\00:44:30.37
I cannot imagine how anyone
00:44:30.40\00:44:33.44
not even any church
could come along and announce
00:44:33.47\00:44:38.38
the God's fourth commandment
00:44:38.41\00:44:40.61
has been chiseled
out of the Decalogue
00:44:40.64\00:44:45.08
an another day now
has been substituted.
00:44:45.11\00:44:47.58
It just-- it just
00:44:47.61\00:44:50.04
especially since
there's not a solitary hint
00:44:50.07\00:44:53.45
of such a removal and
transfer in all Holy Scripture.
00:44:53.48\00:44:57.85
I mean, here's
the-- here's the question?
00:44:57.88\00:45:00.73
Why would anybody ever want
00:45:00.76\00:45:04.39
to get rid of the
seventh day Sabbath?
00:45:04.42\00:45:08.32
Now, I know they
are those who say
00:45:12.27\00:45:15.37
hey, listen
Dwight, come on timeout,
00:45:15.40\00:45:16.88
timeout don't you know boy,
00:45:16.91\00:45:18.86
that the Sabbath
was made for the Jews.
00:45:18.89\00:45:21.46
And then they make-- they
make a correct observation.
00:45:21.49\00:45:23.83
They say after all
00:45:23.86\00:45:24.89
there is no biblical
record of Sabbath keeping
00:45:24.92\00:45:27.01
or explicit divine
command for Sabbath keeping
00:45:27.04\00:45:29.61
until Mount Sinai and
the children of Israel.
00:45:29.64\00:45:31.66
So it's for Israelites
not for the rest of us.
00:45:31.69\00:45:35.58
I want to respond to that,
00:45:35.61\00:45:38.24
I want to give
you six challenges
00:45:38.27\00:45:40.53
to that kind of thinking.
00:45:40.56\00:45:41.68
Let me run them
by, you jot them down.
00:45:41.71\00:45:43.02
All right challenge number one,
00:45:43.05\00:45:44.08
this is-- this is
kind of the obvious
00:45:44.11\00:45:46.67
no rocket science here.
00:45:46.70\00:45:48.00
Number one, "When God
gave the Sabbath to humanity,
00:45:48.03\00:45:51.86
Jews were not even in
existence just the human race."
00:45:51.89\00:45:56.47
So that have a pretty
much end it right there
00:45:56.50\00:45:58.24
but I want to give
you five more-- five more.
00:45:58.27\00:46:01.68
Number two, "In a perfect world
00:46:01.71\00:46:05.01
wouldn't the
example of the Creator
00:46:05.04\00:46:07.78
be command enough?"
00:46:07.81\00:46:11.12
His very example,
Samuele Bacchiocchi
00:46:11.15\00:46:17.74
asked just five question
that's what I'm gonna do.
00:46:17.77\00:46:19.62
I'm just gonna
quote these five questions
00:46:19.65\00:46:20.92
you have them
in your study guide
00:46:20.95\00:46:21.98
this is from His book Divine
Rest for Human Restlessness.
00:46:22.01\00:46:25.16
Five rhetorical questions
you think of the answers.
00:46:25.19\00:46:27.33
Question number one,
"What is it that makes
00:46:27.36\00:46:29.75
any divine precepts moral
00:46:29.78\00:46:31.60
and universal
in the first place?
00:46:31.63\00:46:35.73
Would have to be example of God.
00:46:35.76\00:46:38.34
Number two, "Do we
not regard a law more
00:46:38.37\00:46:41.00
when it reflects God's nature?"
00:46:41.03\00:46:44.37
Number three could God had
given a stronger revelation
00:46:44.40\00:46:47.46
of moral nature of the Sabbath
00:46:47.49\00:46:48.72
than by making it a
rule of His divine conduct?"
00:46:48.75\00:46:52.75
Number four, "Is a principle
established by divine example
00:46:52.78\00:46:55.83
less binding than one
enunciated by divine command."
00:46:55.86\00:46:59.30
And finally number five,
00:46:59.33\00:47:00.89
"Do not actions
speak louder than words".
00:47:00.92\00:47:05.33
If you've ever been a parent
00:47:05.36\00:47:06.54
or if you ever
gonna become a parent
00:47:06.57\00:47:07.95
you're gonna find
out just like that
00:47:07.98\00:47:09.90
that you sometimes never
have to say a word to your kids
00:47:09.93\00:47:13.13
you just go through the motions
and they will be right behind
00:47:13.16\00:47:16.79
you doing the very same thing.
00:47:16.82\00:47:19.89
It's just the way it
is when you are parent.
00:47:19.92\00:47:21.70
Children love
to follow the model
00:47:21.73\00:47:26.90
of a father or mother.
00:47:26.93\00:47:30.18
If you have to make a
command just follow me.
00:47:30.21\00:47:35.68
Okay, that's number
two here is number three
00:47:35.71\00:47:37.23
this is
interesting seven times--
00:47:37.26\00:47:38.38
jot this down please
00:47:38.41\00:47:39.44
seven times in
the Book of Genesis
00:47:39.47\00:47:41.38
it refers to the seven day week
00:47:41.41\00:47:43.80
and there the
references are all there.
00:47:43.83\00:47:45.33
Now, guys let's just do
little bit of thinking here
00:47:45.36\00:47:47.91
if a week a seven days long
00:47:47.94\00:47:49.61
would you pretty
much have the seventh day.
00:47:49.64\00:47:54.68
Seven times in
the Book of Genesis
00:47:54.71\00:47:56.49
the week is referred to.
00:47:56.52\00:47:57.80
If you've got a week
00:47:57.83\00:47:58.86
you're gonna have to
have the seventh day.
00:47:58.89\00:48:02.87
Number four, oh, this is
this is an interesting one.
00:48:02.90\00:48:06.74
"The divine
provision of the manna,"
00:48:06.77\00:48:08.47
write it in manna.
00:48:08.50\00:48:09.64
Remember that little white
frosting substance on the ground
00:48:09.67\00:48:12.04
that the people
ate for forty years.
00:48:12.07\00:48:13.90
"The divine provision
manna clearly presupposes
00:48:13.93\00:48:17.21
the people's
knowledge of the sanctity
00:48:17.24\00:48:19.68
of the seventh day."
00:48:19.71\00:48:20.76
Read Exodus 16 it's all there.
00:48:20.79\00:48:23.03
And by the way, this
is before Mount Sinai
00:48:23.06\00:48:24.61
the Ten Commandments
aren't given until Exodus 20.
00:48:24.64\00:48:26.97
So before there
ever were the ten.
00:48:27.00\00:48:30.38
There's a story
remember on Sunday,
00:48:30.41\00:48:32.51
Monday and every day of the week
00:48:32.54\00:48:34.48
there was this
white stuff on the ground
00:48:34.51\00:48:35.92
and by the way the
word went out from God
00:48:35.95\00:48:38.51
don't you-- you
thinking asleep in on Tuesday
00:48:38.54\00:48:40.49
so you get a double portion
00:48:40.52\00:48:41.60
and Monday so you can
sleep in Tuesday forget it.
00:48:41.63\00:48:43.53
It will turn rotten overnight.
00:48:43.56\00:48:45.60
Some people don't believe
it they took a little extra
00:48:45.63\00:48:47.49
so they could sleep in it
was rotten the next morning.
00:48:47.52\00:48:50.19
Divine miracle.
00:48:50.22\00:48:51.25
You're not going-- you
just get enough for today
00:48:51.28\00:48:53.60
but when you
come to the sixth day
00:48:53.63\00:48:56.02
listen to me
carefully God says on this day
00:48:56.05\00:48:58.21
you go ahead and
take a double portion
00:48:58.24\00:49:00.35
because you're gonna
wake up tomorrow morning
00:49:00.38\00:49:01.70
and there will not
be up blade of grass
00:49:01.73\00:49:04.69
with anything white on it
00:49:04.72\00:49:06.31
because that's my Sabbath.
00:49:06.34\00:49:08.73
By divine
miracle every seventh day
00:49:08.76\00:49:12.34
before Mount
Sinai before Mount Sinai
00:49:12.37\00:49:17.80
and then you look at
Exodus 16 God says, Listen
00:49:17.83\00:49:19.74
because some people
went out on a Sabbath
00:49:19.77\00:49:20.82
and said I'm hungry I
forgot to get extra yesterday.
00:49:20.85\00:49:24.04
Too late, nothing there.
00:49:24.07\00:49:26.74
God says how long, how long
are you gonna forget My command.
00:49:26.77\00:49:31.49
This command has been
around from the very beginning.
00:49:31.52\00:49:34.53
All right we got
to go, number five.
00:49:34.56\00:49:35.99
The very language of
the fourth commandment
00:49:36.02\00:49:37.53
presupposes a
knowledge at the Sabbath.
00:49:37.56\00:49:39.18
It says "Remember"
if they had known it
00:49:39.21\00:49:41.54
God should have said "Thou
shall keep the seventh day holy"
00:49:41.57\00:49:43.59
I got something new
I'm gonna tell you today
00:49:43.62\00:49:45.41
keep the seven-day holy.
00:49:45.44\00:49:46.47
Just no-- just
remember you've been with this
00:49:46.50\00:49:48.36
you've been following
father for all these centuries
00:49:48.39\00:49:53.40
and then finally to me
this is a clincher, number six.
00:49:53.43\00:49:56.44
None write it in, "None
of the other Ten Commandments
00:49:56.47\00:50:00.60
is commanded in Genesis
00:50:00.63\00:50:02.09
either does that mean
they were not applicable
00:50:02.12\00:50:04.03
to humanity and
unknown until Sinai?
00:50:04.06\00:50:06.70
Because that's a big point.
00:50:06.73\00:50:07.76
Nobody knew about
the Sabbath until Sinai
00:50:07.79\00:50:09.51
what about the other nine.
00:50:09.54\00:50:11.40
Look at did Cain when
Cain killed his brother
00:50:11.43\00:50:13.72
did you feel bad? He felt awful.
00:50:13.75\00:50:16.09
Did he know you're
not supposed to kill
00:50:16.12\00:50:17.69
why didn't you say to God?
00:50:17.72\00:50:18.75
I never knew you
can't kill people.
00:50:18.78\00:50:21.11
I thought you could do this.
00:50:21.14\00:50:24.75
No, he knew
00:50:24.78\00:50:26.35
when Abraham is lying
about his wife being a sister
00:50:26.38\00:50:29.15
don't you think he knows
00:50:29.18\00:50:30.94
he's breaking the don't
bear false witness command.
00:50:30.97\00:50:33.34
Of course he knows
he's feeling guilty as sin
00:50:33.37\00:50:37.44
and when Joseph
comes to Mrs. Potiphar
00:50:37.47\00:50:39.57
or let's reverse the story
00:50:39.60\00:50:41.23
when Mr.
Potiphar comes to Joseph
00:50:41.26\00:50:42.87
why didn't Joseph
just say hey listen
00:50:42.90\00:50:44.48
you want to sleep with me,
00:50:44.51\00:50:45.59
let's go to bed.
00:50:45.62\00:50:47.84
There's no commandment yet.
00:50:47.87\00:50:49.15
We are this site on
Mount Sinai, hallelujah.
00:50:49.18\00:50:53.71
No, there's none of
that ladies and gentlemen,
00:50:53.74\00:50:55.26
Joseph knew the command
you shall not commit adultery.
00:50:55.29\00:50:58.96
And he said woman, I can't
sin against God and do this.
00:50:58.99\00:51:01.80
Where do these boys
and girls get all this?
00:51:01.83\00:51:04.37
They got it from a Father
00:51:04.40\00:51:06.43
who's been telling
them from the very beginning
00:51:06.46\00:51:08.52
you don't have to write
it when you're a parent.
00:51:08.55\00:51:12.09
You just model it.
00:51:12.12\00:51:15.43
There they are
ladies and gentlemen,
00:51:15.46\00:51:16.57
six proves that the
Sabbath has been God's gift
00:51:16.60\00:51:19.50
to the human race from
the very beginning of time.
00:51:19.53\00:51:22.30
Why?
00:51:22.33\00:51:23.36
For the gift of the Sabbath
is the friendship of God.
00:51:23.39\00:51:28.12
That's why-- that's why,
00:51:28.15\00:51:31.28
but why would
anybody-- why would anybody
00:51:31.31\00:51:33.62
want to get rid of
the seventh day Sabbath
00:51:33.65\00:51:37.07
I want to tell you.
00:51:37.10\00:51:39.57
Our next teaching don't miss it,
00:51:39.60\00:51:41.03
it's entitled "Legacy
of the Bastard Science."
00:51:41.06\00:51:44.59
That's not strong
language by the way
00:51:44.62\00:51:46.28
that's technical
dictionary language
00:51:46.31\00:51:48.11
and I'm quoting somebody else
00:51:48.14\00:51:50.14
and it's
descriptive got your attention,
00:51:50.17\00:51:55.78
that's the point the legacy
00:51:55.81\00:51:58.31
of the
illegitimate science next time.
00:51:58.34\00:52:03.31
Think of the
heartache, come on guys,
00:52:03.34\00:52:04.50
think of the heartache
that could have been spared
00:52:04.53\00:52:05.94
the human race
had we always remember
00:52:05.97\00:52:07.87
God is our Creator and
our capital 'F' Friend.
00:52:07.90\00:52:11.47
The only way I
can figure it out,
00:52:11.50\00:52:12.84
I'm not real smart
00:52:12.87\00:52:13.90
but the only way I can figure it
out is there must be some body
00:52:13.93\00:52:17.75
who does not want the
human race to remember.
00:52:17.78\00:52:22.08
There must be somebody
who is working awfully hard.
00:52:22.11\00:52:29.77
And so let me end with
the word to my young friend
00:52:29.80\00:52:32.72
who wrote the email
challenged to me impress me.
00:52:32.75\00:52:37.69
My friend, you know
00:52:37.72\00:52:39.15
by now that I have
taken your email seriously.
00:52:39.18\00:52:42.03
It's clear to me you are
serious about the possibility
00:52:42.06\00:52:44.92
of adopting
atheism as your worldview.
00:52:44.95\00:52:51.07
Now, I need you
to take me seriously.
00:52:51.10\00:52:55.52
I've taking you seriously
you take me seriously now.
00:52:55.55\00:52:58.51
Listen, if you are
intellectually honest
00:52:58.54\00:53:03.46
and everything you
write indicates that you are
00:53:03.49\00:53:06.99
if you are then you
need-- you need to experiment
00:53:07.02\00:53:13.92
for a bit longer.
00:53:13.95\00:53:15.87
You need to experience
this gift to the seventh day
00:53:15.90\00:53:21.50
and what you think
is hey, come on, come on
00:53:21.53\00:53:22.89
I don't have time for this.
00:53:22.92\00:53:25.53
You have time,
it's taken you months
00:53:25.56\00:53:27.92
to come to your convictions now.
00:53:27.95\00:53:30.00
You need, you
intellectually honest
00:53:30.03\00:53:32.47
you need to give
yourself this time.
00:53:32.50\00:53:35.83
And here is what I
want to invite you to do,
00:53:35.86\00:53:37.64
can't required of you,
can't check up with you,
00:53:37.67\00:53:40.88
I'm asking you, you owe
it to yourself in honesty
00:53:40.91\00:53:45.90
is what I'm asking you to
do over the next few Sabbaths.
00:53:45.93\00:53:49.86
Say how many?
00:53:49.89\00:53:50.94
More than just two or
three over the next few Sabbaths
00:53:50.97\00:53:53.87
here is the prayer that
I'd like to ask you to pray.
00:53:53.90\00:53:58.88
You don't have to write it down
00:53:58.91\00:53:59.94
I'm have a feeling
it'll stick in your mind.
00:53:59.97\00:54:01.98
I put it on the screen
though, in case you watching.
00:54:02.01\00:54:05.34
Here is the prayer.
00:54:05.37\00:54:07.56
"Okay God. If
there really is you.
00:54:07.59\00:54:13.59
And you really are my Creator.
00:54:13.62\00:54:17.10
And the seventh day
really is your day with me.
00:54:17.13\00:54:19.40
Then I'm asking you"
okay this is the deal.
00:54:19.43\00:54:22.43
I'm bright your
bright God? Let's do this.
00:54:22.46\00:54:25.76
"Then I'm asking You to
please reveal Yourself to me.
00:54:25.79\00:54:33.34
Impress me.
00:54:33.37\00:54:36.97
Because if You do
exist, and You are a Friend,
00:54:37.00\00:54:41.81
then I'd be a fool
to walk away from You.
00:54:41.84\00:54:45.67
Amen."
00:54:45.70\00:54:48.54
You remember the
prayer, I know you will.
00:54:48.57\00:54:51.81
I want you to pray it
over the next few seventh days.
00:54:51.84\00:54:55.80
Do it on a day where God
is infused Himself into time.
00:54:55.83\00:55:00.57
You pray the prayer
00:55:00.60\00:55:03.49
because on the authority
of this word right here
00:55:03.52\00:55:07.02
it's clear to me
00:55:07.05\00:55:08.55
that the gift to the
Sabbath is the friendship God.
00:55:08.58\00:55:13.94
And if that's true
00:55:13.97\00:55:16.04
then you open your
mind to Him on this day
00:55:16.07\00:55:18.32
and I promise you
that in his own way
00:55:18.35\00:55:22.77
He will speak to you.
00:55:22.80\00:55:26.88
He wants your
friendship that much
00:55:26.91\00:55:33.77
and I will be praying for you.
00:55:33.80\00:55:36.19
Let's stand as we pray together.
00:55:36.22\00:55:37.71
And so here we are Holy Father,
00:55:46.12\00:55:47.67
we are on this vast
and wide spectrum of life
00:55:47.70\00:55:52.13
and one hand an email
wrestling with a worldview
00:55:52.16\00:55:57.96
far down the spectrum
and aged senior citizen
00:55:57.99\00:56:04.34
who has found You
faithful every day of her life
00:56:04.37\00:56:11.83
and who worships
You with all her heart.
00:56:11.86\00:56:14.94
In between these two
we're all spread out.
00:56:14.97\00:56:19.12
Oh, God, please we
pray the same prayer.
00:56:19.15\00:56:22.60
Impress us with
all the sincerity
00:56:22.63\00:56:26.08
we can muster we ask
that in Your graciousness
00:56:26.11\00:56:30.48
You might reveal Yourself
to us on the seventh day
00:56:30.51\00:56:35.32
as both our
Creator and our Friend
00:56:35.35\00:56:40.21
because if it's
true that You are both
00:56:40.24\00:56:43.93
why would we ever walk away.
00:56:43.96\00:56:49.80
In the name of
Jesus Christ, amen.
00:56:49.83\00:56:56.44
I wanted to take
one more moment here
00:56:56.47\00:56:58.02
at the end of the
telecast to let you know
00:56:58.05\00:56:59.71
how grateful I am
for your journey with us,
00:56:59.74\00:57:02.83
with our New
Perceptions Ministry.
00:57:02.86\00:57:04.66
You may think
that New Perceptions
00:57:04.69\00:57:05.84
is only about television
00:57:05.87\00:57:07.63
but I need to tell
you, we do have a website
00:57:07.66\00:57:10.12
which is more than
just the study guide.
00:57:10.15\00:57:12.20
I know you go to the
study guide every week
00:57:12.23\00:57:13.74
but if you go to our website,
00:57:13.77\00:57:14.80
let me put the

00:57:14.83\00:57:16.33
www.pmchurch.tv.
00:57:16.36\00:57:20.77
You'll find at
that website a blog.
00:57:20.80\00:57:22.56
I write every Wednesday.
00:57:22.59\00:57:23.62
I sit down with my
laptop and write up a blog,
00:57:23.65\00:57:25.32
something as
commenting on world events,
00:57:25.35\00:57:27.54
something local,
something national.

00:57:48.64\00:57:50.06
The point is
we're trying to connect
00:57:50.09\00:57:51.77
with a generation
on the move, on the go.
00:57:51.80\00:57:54.53
Thanks for being a part of it.
00:57:54.56\00:57:55.82
Thanks for your
prayer partnership.
00:57:55.85\00:57:57.00
We have got to connect
00:57:57.03\00:57:58.52

00:57:58.55\00:58:01.78
and I'm grateful you and
I are sharing the mission.
00:58:01.81\00:58:04.10
God bless you until next time.
00:58:04.13\00:58:06.10
