In the beginning, the
earth was without form and void.
00:00:01.39\00:00:07.40
Then God said,
"Let there be light"
00:00:07.41\00:00:11.23
and there was
light and God divided
00:00:11.24\00:00:14.94
the light from the darkness.
00:00:14.95\00:00:17.51
So the evening and the
morning were the first day.
00:00:17.52\00:00:20.23
So the evening and the
morning were the second day.
00:00:30.44\00:00:34.85
Then God said, "Let the
waters under the heaven's
00:00:34.86\00:00:37.17
be gathered
together unto one place,
00:00:37.18\00:00:39.48
and let the dry land appear.
00:00:39.49\00:00:41.46
Let the earth bring
forth grass and herb
00:00:41.47\00:00:44.11
and the fruit tree that yields
fruit according to its kind.
00:00:44.12\00:00:47.48
So the evening and the
morning were the third day.
00:00:47.49\00:00:51.98
Then God made two great lights.
00:00:51.99\00:00:53.82
He made the stars also.
00:00:53.83\00:00:55.44
So the evening and the
morning were the fourth day.
00:00:55.45\00:01:00.01
Then God said, "Let the
waters abound within abundance
00:01:00.02\00:01:02.61
of living creatures and
let birds fly above the earth
00:01:02.62\00:01:06.08
across the face of
the firmament of heavens.
00:01:06.09\00:01:10.56
So the evening and the
morning were the fifth day.
00:01:10.57\00:01:15.43
Then God said, "Let
the earth bring forth
00:01:15.44\00:01:17.27
living creature
according to its kind, cattle,
00:01:17.28\00:01:20.24
and creeping things,
and beast of the earth.
00:01:20.25\00:01:24.46
Then God said, "Let us make man
00:01:24.47\00:01:26.34
in our image
according to our lightness."
00:01:26.35\00:01:29.46
So the evening and
morning were the sixth day.
00:01:29.47\00:01:34.00
And on the seventh
day God ended his work
00:01:34.01\00:01:36.36
which he had done. And
he rested the seventh day
00:01:36.37\00:01:38.62
from all his work
which he had done.
00:01:38.63\00:01:40.59
Then God
blessed the seventh day,
00:01:40.60\00:01:42.04
and sanctified it
because in it he had rested
00:01:42.05\00:01:44.71
from all his work which
God had created and made.
00:01:44.72\00:01:49.15
And indeed it was very good.
00:01:49.16\00:01:51.65
How does one prepared to
study the subject of Origins
00:01:54.05\00:01:58.33
because this we're all aware
that's a controversial subject
00:01:58.34\00:02:02.82
and we do not all seeing
00:02:02.83\00:02:04.04
on the same page
and the first thing
00:02:04.05\00:02:06.15
I want suggest we've to do night
00:02:06.16\00:02:07.86
is a do little introspection
00:02:07.87\00:02:10.68
and then we want to
have the proper atmosphere
00:02:10.69\00:02:14.05
as we take a look at
this subject tonight.
00:02:14.06\00:02:17.39
So, what do you
mean introspection?
00:02:17.40\00:02:20.12
What we mean is
to examine yourself?
00:02:20.13\00:02:24.01
Do you believe truth
because you believe it
00:02:24.02\00:02:27.70
or you believe because
it is truth? Which is it?
00:02:27.71\00:02:33.81
And you say well that's
where we want to do a little bit
00:02:33.82\00:02:37.64
of self examination
because as we come to any study
00:02:37.65\00:02:42.27
of any subject we bring
with it a bag of information
00:02:42.28\00:02:49.01
that we've
collected over the years.
00:02:49.02\00:02:51.07
And in some that will
be true and some of them
00:02:51.08\00:02:53.27
will not be true and we
bring that to our subject.
00:02:53.28\00:02:56.55
Sometimes we can have the pride
00:02:56.56\00:02:58.33
of being open-minded,
I'm very open-minded.
00:02:58.34\00:03:01.29
We all think
we're but the real truth
00:03:01.30\00:03:03.54
is that when we come to
study controversial topics
00:03:03.55\00:03:07.85
sometimes where
not as open-minded
00:03:07.86\00:03:09.69
as we like the think we are.
00:03:09.70\00:03:11.61
And as we approach to subject
we were usually approach it
00:03:11.62\00:03:15.59
from three different
prospective. From an inquire.
00:03:15.60\00:03:20.06
Inquire has this
open-mind and I'm not sure
00:03:20.07\00:03:22.80
whether it's sure or not
but they're looking for it.
00:03:22.81\00:03:25.74
And then they believer,
he just believes even though
00:03:25.75\00:03:28.84
the evidence may not really
be there and then the skeptic,
00:03:28.85\00:03:32.46
he doubts everything.
00:03:32.47\00:03:34.23
And he doubts it even
after he hears the facts,
00:03:34.24\00:03:37.10
he's still of a doubting mind.
00:03:37.11\00:03:39.63
And so I hope this evening
we can be in the inquiring mode.
00:03:39.64\00:03:45.59
And hopefully before
this evening as through
00:03:45.60\00:03:48.28
we will have move
to the believing mode.
00:03:48.29\00:03:51.24
And hopefully the skeptics
00:03:51.25\00:03:53.56
will had all
their doubts removed
00:03:53.57\00:03:56.23
and we will be in the
inquiring and believing mode.
00:03:56.24\00:04:00.97
Now as we take of
our controversial subject
00:04:00.98\00:04:03.90
we also want to have
the proper atmosphere
00:04:03.91\00:04:07.01
because we get into
areas where people disagree
00:04:07.02\00:04:10.42
is just possible that we can
generate more heat than light.
00:04:10.43\00:04:15.25
And that's not the
intern of this seminar
00:04:15.26\00:04:17.75
and so I hope first of all
00:04:17.76\00:04:20.08
we will have the
atmosphere of humility.
00:04:20.09\00:04:23.26
What can I learn?
00:04:23.27\00:04:25.01
And we want to
have an honest heart,
00:04:25.02\00:04:27.58
by an honest heart we want
to look at it in such a way
00:04:27.59\00:04:31.48
that we're open to change.
00:04:31.49\00:04:36.80
And all of us think
we're opened to change
00:04:36.81\00:04:38.72
but we're not begin to
question some of things
00:04:38.73\00:04:41.68
you thought you may
not be as open to change
00:04:41.69\00:04:44.36
as you might think you are
and then of course, calmness.
00:04:44.37\00:04:48.24
Calmness is we look
at controversial subjects
00:04:48.25\00:04:51.89
and then we
want to have respect.
00:04:51.90\00:04:53.97
Respect does not
mean that I agree with you
00:04:53.98\00:04:56.70
but respect does mean
that I honor you with the right
00:04:56.71\00:04:59.91
to think differently than I do.
00:04:59.92\00:05:02.72
Is that fair enough and if
we can have this atmosphere
00:05:02.73\00:05:06.87
of humility, honesty
and calmness and respect.
00:05:06.88\00:05:12.06
For those who may differ
from my opinion or your opinion,
00:05:12.07\00:05:17.65
we still respect them
for the right to believe
00:05:17.66\00:05:21.99
differently than I do.
00:05:22.00\00:05:24.02
We give them that same freedom
00:05:24.03\00:05:26.01
that we want for
ourselves, is that fair enough?
00:05:26.02\00:05:29.30
All right so, with
that atmosphere in mind
00:05:29.31\00:05:31.86
let's just move
into our subject.
00:05:31.87\00:05:34.55
Charles Darwin wrote his
book "The Origin of Species"
00:05:34.56\00:05:38.48
and the Supremacy of the
Races is the second title
00:05:38.49\00:05:42.05
that usually not
quoted but that's second title
00:05:42.06\00:05:45.36
and we might talk more
about that another time
00:05:45.37\00:05:47.53
and it was published in 1859.
00:05:47.54\00:05:50.81
He founded his
ideas of what he believe
00:05:50.82\00:05:55.38
when he took a trip on
the ship Beagle from 1831-1836
00:05:55.39\00:06:02.50
and that was when
he formulated his ideas
00:06:02.51\00:06:05.31
that later
republished in the book
00:06:05.32\00:06:07.06
called the
Origin of the Species.
00:06:07.07\00:06:09.48
In the first five chapters
he describes variety of animals
00:06:09.49\00:06:13.10
and plants and then in
the next 6 to 9 chapters
00:06:13.11\00:06:18.19
he explore problems
with evolutionary theory
00:06:18.20\00:06:21.30
and then in chapter 10
to 13 he discuss fossils
00:06:21.31\00:06:25.63
and geographic variations
remember this was written back
00:06:25.64\00:06:29.96
in the mid part of the 1800s.
00:06:29.97\00:06:33.30
And then he offer classification
00:06:33.31\00:06:37.72
of the different
parts of the organs
00:06:37.73\00:06:40.10
and arguments for evolution.
00:06:40.11\00:06:43.39
Now he did all this in his book
00:06:43.40\00:06:44.68
and I read his last chapter?
00:06:44.69\00:06:46.72
In the last chapter he admits
00:06:46.73\00:06:48.64
that the most serious
objections to his theory,
00:06:48.65\00:06:51.82
he did not discuss in his
book which I thought was quite
00:06:51.83\00:06:55.11
an admission that he realized
00:06:55.12\00:06:57.15
there were more serious
objections to his theory
00:06:57.16\00:07:00.86
than what he even
discussed in his book.
00:07:00.87\00:07:04.19
Evolutionary concepts
did not begin with Darwin.
00:07:04.20\00:07:07.57
There are very common in
Europe in the 18th century
00:07:07.58\00:07:11.27
and we notice there that
they go back even to 500 BC
00:07:11.28\00:07:15.89
and these ideas have
better round for quite a while.
00:07:15.90\00:07:22.70
Thomas Huxley was
perhaps a greatest defender
00:07:22.71\00:07:25.53
of evolutionists,
particularly of Darwin,
00:07:25.54\00:07:29.16
but amazing thing
is the Mister Huxley
00:07:29.17\00:07:31.37
himself was never a
believer in the theories
00:07:31.38\00:07:35.14
he protected for his
biographer put it this way.
00:07:35.15\00:07:38.83
"Although no one strove so
nobly, and against such odds
00:07:38.84\00:07:42.81
in it's defense
from unfair attack,
00:07:42.82\00:07:44.84
and although no one ever
fought the battle of science
00:07:44.85\00:07:47.64
with more complete
success, Huxley was at no time
00:07:47.65\00:07:51.50
a convinced believer in
the theory he protected,"
00:07:51.51\00:07:55.58
so said his biographer.
00:07:55.59\00:07:58.31
Well, that's interested
why would you want protect
00:07:58.32\00:08:00.60
the theory that you
don't even believe it.
00:08:00.61\00:08:03.83
He must have been
may be an attorney
00:08:03.84\00:08:06.45
and just like to
argue "I don't know."
00:08:06.46\00:08:08.93
But interesting that
Huxley was not a believer
00:08:08.94\00:08:13.11
in the theory he protected.
00:08:13.12\00:08:16.39
On October 23, 1996 Pope John
Paul II, in a formal statement
00:08:16.40\00:08:22.43
sent to the Vatican's
Pontifical Academy of Science,
00:08:22.44\00:08:25.53
announced that evolution
was a scientific theory
00:08:25.54\00:08:28.72
acceptable to the Church.
00:08:28.73\00:08:31.38
And he was just reiterating
00:08:31.39\00:08:33.06
the official
position of his church.
00:08:33.07\00:08:36.75
And sadly but it is to, nearly
00:08:36.76\00:08:40.39
"All mainline
protestant churches
00:08:40.40\00:08:42.74
today teach some form of
Theistic evolution today".
00:08:42.75\00:08:47.87
And theistic evolution
simply says that God created
00:08:47.88\00:08:50.86
this well but he took millions
of years to do that and God
00:08:50.87\00:08:55.71
used evolution to do his
creation but that's contrary
00:08:55.72\00:09:00.60
that the simple word of
God, it says, that he created
00:09:00.61\00:09:03.38
it in seven literal 24-hour days
00:09:03.39\00:09:06.46
and that's what we're
going to be looking at this week
00:09:06.47\00:09:09.34
from the biblical prospective.
00:09:09.35\00:09:11.84
Theistic
evolution is bad science
00:09:11.85\00:09:15.83
and it is also bad
theology because according
00:09:15.84\00:09:19.67
to that theory then
death came into existence
00:09:19.68\00:09:23.15
before sin and God
then would be using death
00:09:23.16\00:09:28.64
to create that sabotage is
the whole plan of redemption.
00:09:28.65\00:09:33.75
So the question is
where did this idea
00:09:33.76\00:09:37.59
of evolution really begin?
00:09:37.60\00:09:39.77
Where did it start?
00:09:39.78\00:09:42.29
And I would like to
suggest that it is the core
00:09:42.30\00:09:44.99
of the lie of the serpent
to Eve in the Garden of Eden
00:09:45.00\00:09:49.33
in Genesis 3 verse 4 and
5 the serpent simply said,
00:09:49.34\00:09:55.06
"You shall be as God's
knowing good and evil."
00:09:55.07\00:10:01.13
And that exalted mankind
to the level with the God
00:10:01.14\00:10:05.79
so that man became
his own final authority
00:10:05.80\00:10:11.87
and Darwin's theory of evolution
00:10:11.88\00:10:14.10
is really thinly
disguised absolute atheism
00:10:14.11\00:10:18.42
because it is
contrary to the word of God.
00:10:18.43\00:10:22.49
W.L. Wilmhurst in his
book The Meaning of Masonry
00:10:22.50\00:10:25.69
put's it this way, "This -
evolution of man into superman
00:10:25.70\00:10:30.82
was always the purpose of
the ancient mysteries occultism.
00:10:30.83\00:10:35.35
Man, who has
sprung from the earth
00:10:35.36\00:10:37.10
and his developed through
the lower kingdoms of nature,
00:10:37.11\00:10:39.38
to his present rational
state, has yet to complete
00:10:39.39\00:10:42.34
his evolution by
becoming a God-like
00:10:42.35\00:10:45.25
being and
unifying his conscience
00:10:45.26\00:10:47.87
with the Omniscience."
00:10:47.88\00:10:49.83
And so we find in the
Occult Digest, it said,
00:10:49.84\00:10:54.26
"We must establish
in theological minds
00:10:54.27\00:10:56.74
the theory of evolution.
00:10:56.75\00:10:58.20
The doctrine of reincarnation.
00:10:58.21\00:11:00.24
Our work with
the modern scientist
00:11:00.25\00:11:01.93
is of vital importance."
00:11:01.94\00:11:04.45
Many of not equated the idea
00:11:04.46\00:11:07.43
of evolution being thinly
disguised actual spiritism.
00:11:07.44\00:11:13.18
And repeating the lie that the
serpent established with Eve.
00:11:13.19\00:11:19.13
So when we come to
The Study of Origins.
00:11:19.14\00:11:23.46
When we come to the study
we're not studying science.
00:11:23.47\00:11:29.30
We're studying history
because it is impossible
00:11:29.31\00:11:33.76
to study origins in
the scientific definition
00:11:33.77\00:11:37.81
and science to means
to study by observation
00:11:37.82\00:11:43.06
and by those
observations it can be tested
00:11:43.07\00:11:46.13
has to whether
it is true or false
00:11:46.14\00:11:47.47
and you can repeat the test
00:11:47.48\00:11:48.98
and of course,
origins took place
00:11:48.99\00:11:50.56
a long time ago
and that impossible.
00:11:50.57\00:11:53.14
You cannot study
origins in that strictest
00:11:53.15\00:11:56.28
scientific definition because
it took place a long time ago.
00:11:56.29\00:12:00.62
And it cannot be repeated today.
00:12:00.63\00:12:04.21
And so we're actually studying
history, ancient history.
00:12:04.22\00:12:08.24
Creationists have a BIAS.
00:12:08.25\00:12:10.41
And they take a
look at a Fact of Nature
00:12:10.42\00:12:13.15
and they draw a conclusion.
00:12:13.16\00:12:16.19
Evolutionists
likewise have a BIAS
00:12:16.20\00:12:18.87
and they look
at a Fact of Nature
00:12:18.88\00:12:21.80
and a conclusion is drawn.
00:12:21.81\00:12:24.82
And I would like to quote
00:12:24.83\00:12:25.90
from a former
evolutionists Colin Patterson,
00:12:25.91\00:12:30.69
Senior Paleontologist
at the British Museum
00:12:30.70\00:12:33.26
of Natural History. He said,
00:12:33.27\00:12:35.10
"I have been working
on this stuff fossils
00:12:35.11\00:12:38.01
for more than 20 years
and there was not one thing
00:12:38.02\00:12:41.34
that I knew about it, Evolution.
00:12:41.35\00:12:44.23
He said, it's
quite a shock to learn
00:12:44.24\00:12:46.08
that one can be
misled for so long."
00:12:46.09\00:12:49.90
Because what he
discovered was as he carefully
00:12:49.91\00:12:52.67
looked into that subject there
was no real observable facts
00:12:52.68\00:12:58.03
as such about the
fossils that he had been looking
00:12:58.04\00:13:01.77
at and so he was
speaking to the biologist
00:13:01.78\00:13:08.28
at the America
Museum of Natural History,
00:13:08.29\00:13:11.07
the Field Museum
of Natural History,
00:13:11.08\00:13:12.63
the members of the
Evolutionary Morphology
00:13:12.64\00:13:15.25
Seminar at the
University of Chicago
00:13:15.26\00:13:17.68
and he asked the same question,
00:13:17.69\00:13:19.41
what do you know for
sure that's an actual fact
00:13:19.42\00:13:23.97
about
evolution? Observable facts
00:13:23.98\00:13:27.37
and all he got was silence.
00:13:27.38\00:13:29.06
Now this was at a meeting
were they were top evolutionists
00:13:29.07\00:13:32.70
and all he got was
silence and finally way
00:13:32.71\00:13:35.77
in the black of the room
there was voice that said,
00:13:35.78\00:13:38.25
I do know one thing it all
not be taught in high school.
00:13:38.26\00:13:43.36
But it is taught in high school.
00:13:43.37\00:13:45.68
It's taught in the high school
here and is taught in schools
00:13:45.69\00:13:49.82
our campuses
throughout this nation
00:13:49.83\00:13:52.41
and virtually around the world.
00:13:52.42\00:13:55.89
And so up
tonight, I'm addressing
00:13:55.90\00:13:59.45
the Jewish
community, the Moslem community
00:13:59.46\00:14:02.53
and the Christian community
00:14:02.54\00:14:04.59
all three of these
great communities of faith,
00:14:04.60\00:14:07.25
all hold as the
foundation pillar
00:14:07.26\00:14:10.53
of their believed system
00:14:10.54\00:14:12.20
that Genesis 1 is
like it is written.
00:14:12.21\00:14:16.51
And we're gonna
take a look at Genesis 1
00:14:16.52\00:14:18.63
this week and walk
our way through it.
00:14:18.64\00:14:20.90
This is a common ground believe.
00:14:20.91\00:14:23.28
Held that Genesis 1 reveals,
00:14:23.29\00:14:26.02
how life was
created on this earth?
00:14:26.03\00:14:28.13
And all three of these
great communities of faith
00:14:28.14\00:14:31.21
have been severely challenged
00:14:31.22\00:14:33.43
by Darwinian Theory of evolution
00:14:33.44\00:14:37.54
and we want to take a
look what does a Bible
00:14:37.55\00:14:40.31
really have to say.
00:14:40.32\00:14:42.04
What is the word
of God had to say,
00:14:42.05\00:14:44.33
and so let us unitedly
confront our dying planet
00:14:44.34\00:14:48.44
with the great Truth.
00:14:48.45\00:14:50.49
That God created this world
in six literal 24-hour days,
00:14:50.50\00:14:55.24
and he is calling upon
the nations and then heavens
00:14:55.25\00:14:59.27
of this earth to worship
Him who made heaven and earth.
00:14:59.28\00:15:04.24
As though if you have a Bible
00:15:04.25\00:15:05.87
in your pew there you might
just like to turn to Genesis,
00:15:05.88\00:15:10.86
Chapter 1 and I'm going
to using in this seminar
00:15:10.87\00:15:14.63
the New King James Version
but it reads very similar
00:15:14.64\00:15:19.26
to the King James Version
and so if you have your Bible
00:15:19.27\00:15:22.69
let's turn to Genesis
the very first chapter
00:15:22.70\00:15:27.17
and we're gonna begin reading
with the very first verse.
00:15:27.18\00:15:34.34
The Bible says,
"In the beginning God
00:15:34.35\00:15:37.17
created the heavens."
00:15:37.18\00:15:38.76
Plural. "And the earth.
00:15:38.77\00:15:42.21
And the earth was
without form, and void;
00:15:42.22\00:15:45.37
and darkness was
upon the face of the deep.
00:15:45.38\00:15:50.15
And the Spirit
of God was hovering
00:15:50.16\00:15:52.78
over the face of the waters."
00:15:52.79\00:15:54.66
And tomorrow night
we're gonna talk about
00:15:54.67\00:15:56.38
waters in more detail.
00:15:56.39\00:15:59.36
And as far as we can
tell from the word of God,
00:15:59.37\00:16:02.82
there is only one
substance that God
00:16:02.83\00:16:05.79
used in creation in
that were simply water.
00:16:05.80\00:16:10.37
And darkness was
upon the face of the deep.
00:16:10.38\00:16:13.45
Earth without form and
void, how do you picture
00:16:13.46\00:16:17.63
visually without form of
void was nothing was there.
00:16:17.64\00:16:21.99
If you please on the darkness
was on the face of the deep.
00:16:22.00\00:16:26.58
And the spirit of God hovered
00:16:26.59\00:16:27.93
and now we notice we come
00:16:27.94\00:16:29.92
to verse 3, and then God said,
00:16:29.93\00:16:37.20
"Let there be
light." And there was light.
00:16:37.21\00:16:41.40
Genesis 1 verse 3.
00:16:41.41\00:16:44.90
We notice in the
scripture that it says,
00:16:44.91\00:16:48.35
God said or the word spoke.
00:16:48.36\00:16:52.36
I would like to suggest
for your thinking tonight
00:16:52.37\00:16:55.05
that everything that
we know of our can observe
00:16:55.06\00:16:57.75
in this world pretty much
was created by sound waves.
00:16:57.76\00:17:02.94
God said, God spoke,
and it was sound waves
00:17:02.95\00:17:07.55
that actually was
the power when God said,
00:17:07.56\00:17:12.19
in Psalms 33:6-9 it simply says,
00:17:12.20\00:17:16.17
"God spoke and it was done;
00:17:16.18\00:17:17.99
He commanded and it stood fast."
00:17:18.00\00:17:20.37
And may come as a
surprise to us to realize
00:17:20.38\00:17:23.48
when science has taken things
down to other smallest point
00:17:23.49\00:17:27.60
where we're looking at the
Adam or the atomic principles
00:17:27.61\00:17:31.74
there of the nucleus
and electrons circling it.
00:17:31.75\00:17:35.16
And then they took it
down one more analysis
00:17:35.17\00:17:36.94
more in a quark
quirks very small part
00:17:36.95\00:17:39.94
and some science is
beginning to check that out
00:17:39.95\00:17:43.09
and they think that the
things that keeps the electrons
00:17:43.10\00:17:46.10
away from the
nucleus is sound waves,
00:17:46.11\00:17:49.50
isn't that amazing.
00:17:49.51\00:17:50.90
And that's exactly
what we read in God's word.
00:17:50.91\00:17:55.19
All creation is
created by sound waves.
00:17:55.20\00:17:58.02
Sinister in the Quran we find
"Your Guardian Lord is Allah,
00:17:58.03\00:18:03.60
Who created the heavens
and the earth in six days,
00:18:03.61\00:18:06.79
and is firmly established
on the throne (of authority).
00:18:06.80\00:18:11.19
He draweth the night
as a veil over the day,
00:18:11.20\00:18:14.48
each seeking the
other in rapid succession."
00:18:14.49\00:18:18.27
It's upon the Quran
we also find that God
00:18:18.28\00:18:20.91
created this world
very quickly evening
00:18:20.92\00:18:23.66
and the morning
following a day pattern.
00:18:23.67\00:18:27.87
And also find in
the New Testament
00:18:27.88\00:18:31.90
in John 1 verse 1 it says,
"In the beginning was the Word,
00:18:31.91\00:18:36.61
and the Word was with
God, and the Word was God."
00:18:36.62\00:18:40.96
And that power that did the
creating was those sound waves
00:18:40.97\00:18:46.26
they're brought into existence
00:18:46.27\00:18:48.28
and I'd like to suggest
for your thinking tonight
00:18:48.29\00:18:50.99
that the same power that created
00:18:51.00\00:18:53.48
this world is in this book.
00:18:53.49\00:18:56.94
And every command
is a promise accepted
00:18:56.95\00:18:59.85
by the will received
into the soul it brings
00:18:59.86\00:19:03.04
with it the life
with the infinite one
00:19:03.05\00:19:05.14
and it can
recreate in the human nature
00:19:05.15\00:19:08.89
the very divine
nature of God himself.
00:19:08.90\00:19:12.21
Isn't that good news?
00:19:12.22\00:19:13.79
There's our world
need to know that night.
00:19:13.80\00:19:16.60
Now for our
understanding tonight,
00:19:16.61\00:19:19.77
I like you to
understand the first of all
00:19:19.78\00:19:21.91
when we come to
this subject of light.
00:19:21.92\00:19:25.12
We have to
understand that light is energy.
00:19:25.13\00:19:29.31
And the scientific
community had a model
00:19:29.32\00:19:34.72
that looks something like
this and way works is like this.
00:19:34.73\00:19:39.47
Light is
traveling through the space
00:19:39.48\00:19:41.28
on 186000 miles per second.
00:19:41.29\00:19:45.32
Now as it passes through space,
00:19:45.33\00:19:48.29
science believes that it
is electro going this way
00:19:48.30\00:19:52.73
and magnetic going this way
to different electromagnetic
00:19:52.74\00:19:57.40
powers moving to space called
the electromagnetic spectrum.
00:19:57.41\00:20:03.77
And I would like to
suggest for our thinking tonight
00:20:03.78\00:20:07.42
that on day 1 when God
said, "Let there be light."
00:20:07.43\00:20:12.37
What God did was he
brought his own personal self
00:20:12.38\00:20:17.71
to that part of the heavens
and manifested himself there.
00:20:17.72\00:20:22.59
We know that the light
that was created on day one
00:20:22.60\00:20:25.49
was not the sun because
that was created on day four
00:20:25.50\00:20:28.83
don't miss day four
because we're gonna look
00:20:28.84\00:20:31.92
at the heavens in
a fascinating way.
00:20:31.93\00:20:35.01
We read in the Bible
that God is cloth with light
00:20:35.02\00:20:39.25
according to Psalms 104:2.
00:20:39.26\00:20:43.56
And God also says, "I form
the light and I create darkness.
00:20:43.57\00:20:50.00
I, the Lord, do
all these things."
00:20:50.01\00:20:52.63
And so God is not
depended on any other
00:20:52.64\00:20:55.36
preexisting material
00:20:55.37\00:20:57.06
other than himself
as the source of light.
00:20:57.07\00:21:01.21
And so in 1st John 1 verse 5
00:21:01.22\00:21:06.39
we read the
words, "God is light."
00:21:06.40\00:21:10.08
By that verse, we're
not saying pantheistically
00:21:10.09\00:21:13.20
that God is light,
that he is the source
00:21:13.21\00:21:16.26
of all energy if you please.
00:21:16.27\00:21:19.37
And so light is energy.
We read in 1 Timothy 6:16,
00:21:19.38\00:21:26.10
"Who only has immortality,
dwelling in the light
00:21:26.11\00:21:30.15
which no man can approach
unto, whom no man has seen,
00:21:30.16\00:21:34.69
nor can see, to whom be
honor and power everlasting."
00:21:34.70\00:21:39.27
Amen. 1 Timothy
6:16, So God is light.
00:21:39.28\00:21:44.14
God is the source of light.
He is the source of all energy
00:21:44.15\00:21:47.69
if you please and so on this
day one, God brought his light
00:21:47.70\00:21:53.88
into focus on this
particular part of the universe.
00:21:53.89\00:22:00.57
And the scripture simply
says God divided the light
00:22:00.58\00:22:05.26
from the darkness
in Genesis 1 verse 4
00:22:05.27\00:22:09.03
and Daniel 2 verse 22 says,
00:22:09.04\00:22:11.45
"He knows what
is in the darkness."
00:22:11.46\00:22:14.44
And we don't and we know
that in the role of astronomy
00:22:14.45\00:22:20.49
for example, astronomers
believe there is more
00:22:20.50\00:22:23.87
in this universe that is
invisible than what's visible.
00:22:23.88\00:22:27.54
And the reason they say that,
00:22:27.55\00:22:29.20
is because in the
darkness of outer space,
00:22:29.21\00:22:31.94
there is this
tremendous amount of energy
00:22:31.95\00:22:34.23
flowing through this
darkness from something.
00:22:34.24\00:22:37.39
They don't know what?
00:22:37.40\00:22:38.55
I believe it's
simply flowing forth
00:22:38.56\00:22:41.63
from the very
throne of God himself.
00:22:41.64\00:22:45.65
And so up tonight, I see
we have some young people
00:22:45.66\00:22:49.14
with us here tonight.
00:22:49.15\00:22:50.76
How many of you have
ever been afraid of the dark?
00:22:50.77\00:22:54.18
Raise your hand, we
won't ask for how many
00:22:54.19\00:22:56.61
are still afraid
of the dark today.
00:22:56.62\00:22:58.63
I hope you're really listening
00:22:58.64\00:23:00.26
to what I'm about to share
with you because if you catch
00:23:00.27\00:23:03.57
what we are talking about
you'll never have to be afraid
00:23:03.58\00:23:07.45
of the darkness again.
00:23:07.46\00:23:09.88
By faith we
understand that the worlds
00:23:09.89\00:23:11.74
were framed by the word of God.
00:23:11.75\00:23:13.92
So the things which
are seen were not made
00:23:13.93\00:23:16.38
from that which is visible.
00:23:16.39\00:23:18.66
Hebrews 11 verse 3 tells us.
00:23:18.67\00:23:21.60
And what that's
simply saying is by faith
00:23:21.61\00:23:23.99
we understand that
what came into existence
00:23:24.00\00:23:27.26
came into existence because
God created out of nothing.
00:23:27.27\00:23:31.16
He was not intended to
any preexisting material.
00:23:31.17\00:23:35.00
And David said,
"Indeed, the darkness
00:23:35.01\00:23:37.50
shall not hide from
You, but the night shines
00:23:37.51\00:23:40.18
as the day and
the darkness and light
00:23:40.19\00:23:42.28
are both alike to
You." Psalms 139 verse 12.
00:23:42.29\00:23:47.62
And so for you
who're afraid of dark
00:23:47.63\00:23:50.02
I just want you to
understand that the pictures
00:23:50.03\00:23:52.48
you about to see should forever
00:23:52.49\00:23:55.04
remove your fear of darkness.
00:23:55.05\00:23:58.91
When we think about the
electromagnetic spectrum
00:23:58.92\00:24:02.47
this is an
illustration that show's
00:24:02.48\00:24:05.30
that the
electromagnetic spectrum
00:24:05.31\00:24:07.33
is a spectrum of energies
that would be a measurement
00:24:07.34\00:24:11.25
that would reach from
here to the moon and apart
00:24:11.26\00:24:13.82
that you and I
actually see this visible light.
00:24:13.83\00:24:16.75
We're about 2''
inches on that scale
00:24:16.76\00:24:19.84
and so there is much
more to the energy of light
00:24:19.85\00:24:23.00
that we can't see
then what we really do see.
00:24:23.01\00:24:26.43
And so at the bottom
end of the spectrum wave,
00:24:26.44\00:24:28.30
radio waves they've never
found the longest radio wave
00:24:28.31\00:24:32.30
they are in miles of length.
00:24:32.31\00:24:35.37
All moving through space
at a 186000 miles per second.
00:24:35.38\00:24:39.91
Moving at the speed of
light a huge big radio waves
00:24:39.92\00:24:43.73
and then we move up
to scale to infrared
00:24:43.74\00:24:46.88
and then we get
to the visible light
00:24:46.89\00:24:49.03
and then it moves over
into what science calls
00:24:49.04\00:24:52.51
pellets or bullets it
gives so short and so tiny,
00:24:52.52\00:24:56.86
it's like the UV light which
is what I use in my pictures
00:24:56.87\00:25:02.85
and then there is
x-ray very penetrating
00:25:02.86\00:25:05.67
and then finally
gamma ray or cosmic rays.
00:25:05.68\00:25:08.77
And these are
moving through space
00:25:08.78\00:25:10.62
at a very high rate of speed.
00:25:10.63\00:25:12.85
Mariner 2 detected solar winds
00:25:12.86\00:25:15.99
blowing the electromagnetic
particles towards the earth
00:25:16.00\00:25:18.94
at speeds of 650,000 to
1,800,000 miles per hour.
00:25:18.95\00:25:25.52
This energy is
moving to the space.
00:25:25.53\00:25:28.75
Now what we're going
to do as gonna take a look
00:25:28.76\00:25:32.20
at radio waves
infrared visible light,
00:25:32.21\00:25:35.93
UV light and
X-ray and Gamma rays.
00:25:35.94\00:25:38.11
And we're gonna take
a look at those tonight
00:25:38.12\00:25:41.02
at one part of the heavens
00:25:41.03\00:25:42.98
right there in the
center you see galaxies.
00:25:42.99\00:25:45.86
And we're gonna take a look
at the galaxy looking southward.
00:25:45.87\00:25:49.84
If you look into
the heavens towards
00:25:49.85\00:25:51.08
the south you look to
the center of that galaxy
00:25:51.09\00:25:54.72
don't miss Wednesday night.
00:25:54.73\00:25:56.64
We're gonna going to
that in lot more detail but,
00:25:56.65\00:26:00.19
we're gonna look at
that same part of heavens
00:26:00.20\00:26:02.79
but we're gonna
look at it through
00:26:02.80\00:26:04.35
the different radio waves
00:26:04.36\00:26:07.97
or
electromagnetic spectrum waves.
00:26:07.98\00:26:11.36
We're gonna look at
that part of the heavens
00:26:11.37\00:26:13.17
and you'll see that
it is indeed visible
00:26:13.18\00:26:16.37
and if we could see like God
00:26:16.38\00:26:18.11
sees who sees the total
electromagnetic spectrum
00:26:18.12\00:26:22.64
then we could see that the night
00:26:22.65\00:26:26.87
cannot hide anything from God.
00:26:26.88\00:26:29.48
That's the visible sky and
we're looking at the center
00:26:29.49\00:26:34.13
towards the center
of Milky Way galaxy.
00:26:34.14\00:26:38.04
Try to follow me carefully
00:26:38.05\00:26:39.43
because this is
just a little bit...
00:26:39.44\00:26:42.44
So I hope you can stay with me.
00:26:42.45\00:26:44.84
We're looking at the visible sky
00:26:44.85\00:26:46.77
as we would see
with the naked eye.
00:26:46.78\00:26:48.95
Okay, now the next
picture we're gonna look at
00:26:48.96\00:26:52.28
is the identical
same part of the heavens
00:26:52.29\00:26:54.65
only we're gonna
look at with radio waves.
00:26:54.66\00:26:57.77
And you will see with
radio wave that the radial sky
00:26:57.78\00:27:02.61
of the long six
miles are longer in length
00:27:02.62\00:27:06.70
and the move intensity from
the red being the most intense
00:27:06.71\00:27:11.62
and dark blue
being the least intense
00:27:11.63\00:27:16.22
and you can see as
we look to the center
00:27:16.23\00:27:18.74
of the Milky Way galaxy
00:27:18.75\00:27:20.39
you'll see there're
that is tremendous energies
00:27:20.40\00:27:23.59
flowing out of the
center of our Milky Way galaxy,
00:27:23.60\00:27:28.41
is that visible?
00:27:28.42\00:27:30.12
The machines can
measure but our naked eye
00:27:30.13\00:27:32.86
cannot and the machine
says radio wave is lit up
00:27:32.87\00:27:36.33
and it looks like that.
00:27:36.34\00:27:38.39
Now if we take a
look at the infrared sky
00:27:38.40\00:27:42.73
that's the way it
looks with infrared.
00:27:42.74\00:27:45.02
An infrared is heat
waves that the we can pick up
00:27:45.03\00:27:49.66
and that's the way it would
look that way is that visible?
00:27:49.67\00:27:53.99
That's visible with
machinery we can look at it
00:27:54.00\00:27:57.90
but the human naked
eye cannot see this,
00:27:57.91\00:28:00.47
but machines do.
00:28:00.48\00:28:02.41
And then the X-ray sky
and this is the same part
00:28:02.42\00:28:06.61
of the heavens
with the X-ray sky,
00:28:06.62\00:28:08.43
is that visible?
It is by machinery.
00:28:08.44\00:28:11.71
And this is very
penetrating and powerful
00:28:11.72\00:28:14.18
the same scale is in place.
00:28:14.19\00:28:16.07
And then we move into
Gamma and Cosmic rays.
00:28:16.08\00:28:20.22
And again you can
see is that visible.
00:28:20.23\00:28:23.79
The machinery can see it
but the naked eye cannot.
00:28:23.80\00:28:27.91
And so we go back to
the words of the Psalms.
00:28:27.92\00:28:31.02
"Indeed, the darkness
shall not hide from you,
00:28:31.03\00:28:33.75
but the night shines as the day;
00:28:33.76\00:28:35.29
the darkness and light
are both alike to thee."
00:28:35.30\00:28:40.21
Here's a good news, you
can't do anything but what God
00:28:40.22\00:28:45.80
doesn't see it,
is that a good news?
00:28:45.81\00:28:48.55
And you can never in
darkness so dark that God
00:28:48.56\00:28:51.64
doesn't know where
you are and he can see you
00:28:51.65\00:28:54.83
and you're
protected because he knows,
00:28:54.84\00:28:56.61
where you are?
Is that good news?
00:28:56.62\00:28:58.79
And so that become
00:28:58.80\00:29:00.25
what I called the
Armour of light, Hagar.
00:29:00.26\00:29:05.00
When she was playing
with her son, Ishmael.
00:29:05.01\00:29:09.94
She cried out when
God answered her prayer.
00:29:09.95\00:29:15.90
"Thou, God, seest
me." Is that a good news.
00:29:15.91\00:29:22.01
"Thou, God seest, me."
00:29:22.02\00:29:24.92
He knows all about
you, even the Bible
00:29:24.93\00:29:28.28
tells us even the
hairs of head all numbered.
00:29:28.29\00:29:31.35
He knows that and to do that
he has to keep running a comb
00:29:31.36\00:29:34.67
because I'm finding every time
00:29:34.68\00:29:36.03
I come here it seems
like it gets to be more
00:29:36.04\00:29:38.85
of this than less of that,
00:29:38.86\00:29:40.02
you know, what
I'm talking about?
00:29:40.03\00:29:41.63
And so he keeps a
running account visible light.
00:29:41.64\00:29:47.80
He is made up of three primary
colors red, green and blue.
00:29:47.81\00:29:52.00
This is the light spectrum
00:29:52.01\00:29:55.09
and I wish you
could see this pictures
00:29:55.10\00:29:56.51
the way it was like I took it.
00:29:56.52\00:29:57.63
It looks some of
like its got light in it.
00:29:57.64\00:29:59.49
Because it just radiates
all it's beautiful energy
00:29:59.50\00:30:02.69
when it comes through a prism.
00:30:02.70\00:30:05.44
And these make up the
visible light that we see.
00:30:05.45\00:30:10.43
And what I'm
suggesting is that a day one God
00:30:10.44\00:30:14.21
brought his light to focus
on that part of the universe
00:30:14.22\00:30:18.93
and quite likely
that light includes
00:30:18.94\00:30:21.49
all of the electromagnetic
spectrum brought there.
00:30:21.50\00:30:26.54
Now the Bible
says, "Thy Word is a lamp
00:30:26.55\00:30:31.27
and thy Word is
a lamp unto my feet
00:30:31.28\00:30:33.56
and a light unto my path."
00:30:33.57\00:30:34.85
Psalm 119. How can
this word be a light?
00:30:34.86\00:30:39.69
And it says, "I love Thy Law!
00:30:39.70\00:30:41.33
It is my
meditation all the day."
00:30:41.34\00:30:44.96
"You through Your commandments
00:30:44.97\00:30:46.28
make me wiser than my enemies.
00:30:46.29\00:30:48.26
They are ever
with me because Satan
00:30:48.27\00:30:50.55
is the one who
claims to rule this world.
00:30:50.56\00:30:53.66
I have more
understand than all my teachers
00:30:53.67\00:30:55.99
for Your
testimonies are my meditation."
00:30:56.00\00:31:00.95
And so when think of
the electromagnetic spectrum
00:31:00.96\00:31:05.25
we're thinking of the
power and energy that God
00:31:05.26\00:31:09.56
has and in his word.
00:31:09.57\00:31:12.39
And it is invisible but
my mediation on that word
00:31:12.40\00:31:16.40
it can becomes visible through
the inner man, is that clear?
00:31:16.41\00:31:20.37
The invisible becomes visible
as we meditate on his Word.
00:31:20.38\00:31:25.52
Let me ask you question?
00:31:25.53\00:31:27.07
When the Word
speaks and when Moses
00:31:27.08\00:31:29.98
saw the invisible God,
on the top of mount Sinai,
00:31:29.99\00:31:35.24
when God give his holy Law.
00:31:35.25\00:31:39.69
What did Moses see?
00:31:39.70\00:31:42.27
I mean what you see when
you see the invisible God.
00:31:42.28\00:31:45.66
What we don't have to
guess because in Exodus 34,
00:31:45.67\00:31:48.84
verse 6 it tells us exactly,
what it was that he saw?
00:31:48.85\00:31:53.10
What he saw was God's glory.
00:31:53.11\00:31:57.05
And that glory was
seven character qualities.
00:31:57.06\00:32:03.26
He saw the God was merciful,
gracious, longsuffering,
00:32:03.27\00:32:09.22
abounding in
goodness, abounding in truth,
00:32:09.23\00:32:14.41
forgiving iniquity
and transgression and sin.
00:32:14.42\00:32:18.38
And God was also justice.
00:32:18.39\00:32:22.37
And that was what Moses
saw as he saw the invisible God
00:32:22.38\00:32:29.67
on that mountain.
00:32:29.68\00:32:31.16
And Romans 20 says, "since
the creation of the world.
00:32:31.17\00:32:34.34
His invisible attributes
are clearly understood
00:32:34.35\00:32:37.65
by the things that are
made, even light that created
00:32:37.66\00:32:42.31
as it were on that first day.
00:32:42.32\00:32:44.99
So to see the invisible God.
00:32:45.00\00:32:49.88
I would like to suggest
by way of an illustration
00:32:49.89\00:32:53.36
hear me carefully,
I'm saying that God
00:32:53.37\00:32:56.14
is actually light
00:32:56.15\00:32:58.70
but I'm using the
electromagnetic spectrum
00:32:58.71\00:33:01.30
as an illustration
those character qualities
00:33:01.31\00:33:05.09
in the electromagnetic
spectrum I believe illustrate
00:33:05.10\00:33:09.68
those seven
characteristics of God.
00:33:09.69\00:33:12.44
Let's walk our way through that.
00:33:12.45\00:33:14.82
The radio waves
they're very long in length
00:33:14.83\00:33:17.46
and during World
War 2 the allied forces
00:33:17.47\00:33:20.34
used radio waves
six miles in length
00:33:20.35\00:33:23.91
they used the fence as
the antenna and short wave,
00:33:23.92\00:33:27.35
FM and T.V. and radio microwave
00:33:27.36\00:33:30.84
all of these are
part of the radio waves.
00:33:30.85\00:33:33.65
Now I would like to
suggest that illustrates
00:33:33.66\00:33:35.68
the very first
character quality that Moses
00:33:35.69\00:33:38.74
saw on the Mount and
that is God is merciful.
00:33:38.75\00:33:44.11
Rachamim is the Hebrew
word that was used for merciful.
00:33:44.12\00:33:48.90
Coveys the idea that God
has deep feeling and sympathy
00:33:48.91\00:33:54.99
for you his
children, it's like the womb
00:33:55.00\00:33:58.64
he in encloses us like
radio waves they encompass
00:33:58.65\00:34:03.25
the whole earth
nothing is left out radio wave.
00:34:03.26\00:34:05.79
It sweeps in everywhere and
his mercy like his available
00:34:05.80\00:34:10.73
to every child of
Adam on planet earth,
00:34:10.74\00:34:14.35
is that good news?
00:34:14.36\00:34:16.17
And that mercy is
his character quality
00:34:16.18\00:34:19.50
and that conveys
the idea in the Hebrew,
00:34:19.51\00:34:22.28
he bows in courtesy to us
and treat us like an equal.
00:34:22.29\00:34:27.30
That's all most blasphemous
00:34:27.31\00:34:28.71
to think of that way but God
00:34:28.72\00:34:30.60
looks that us as the
sons and daughter's of Adam.
00:34:30.61\00:34:37.47
He considers us and treats us
00:34:37.48\00:34:40.28
like we were and equal to Him.
00:34:40.29\00:34:43.44
And he treats all that
same way is that good news.
00:34:43.45\00:34:47.42
No matter what race you
are, what color you are?
00:34:47.43\00:34:50.85
God's mercy is
available to every single one
00:34:50.86\00:34:54.50
of the children of
Adam, is that a good news?
00:34:54.51\00:34:57.55
Do we need to know,
that God is merciful
00:34:57.56\00:35:00.50
and that's his
first quality that Moses
00:35:00.51\00:35:03.19
saw there on the mountain.
00:35:03.20\00:35:05.88
And then we look down
the electromagnetic spectrum
00:35:05.89\00:35:08.62
we come to infrared
there 1 mm in length
00:35:08.63\00:35:12.42
and this produces
heat and every heat source
00:35:12.43\00:35:16.10
you put your handover
toaster you can't see anything
00:35:16.11\00:35:19.42
coming out put your hand there,
00:35:19.43\00:35:20.98
your jerked away really
quick because it's a heat wave
00:35:20.99\00:35:24.34
that are the
infrared that do the heating.
00:35:24.35\00:35:29.18
The second
character quality that Moses
00:35:29.19\00:35:31.10
saw on the
mountain was gracious.
00:35:31.11\00:35:33.13
It's a Hebrew word knaw noan
00:35:33.14\00:35:37.09
and it means to bow to
an inferior in courtesy
00:35:37.10\00:35:40.86
he bows towards even
though we are inferior
00:35:40.87\00:35:44.13
He treats us graciously.
00:35:44.14\00:35:48.75
Do you like to be
treated graciously
00:35:48.76\00:35:51.59
and he gives this gracious
quality of his own character
00:35:51.60\00:35:57.15
and that way it
warms others with His love.
00:35:57.16\00:36:02.06
Sometimes we
don't love for somebody
00:36:02.07\00:36:04.24
but he does and if we
make ourselves a channel
00:36:04.25\00:36:07.14
for his life and
power to flow through us
00:36:07.15\00:36:10.11
we have his warmth
to pass on to others
00:36:10.12\00:36:13.60
in this cold world of sin.
00:36:13.61\00:36:15.44
Do we need that character
quality of his graciousness?
00:36:15.45\00:36:20.21
And then visible
light, it's 700 nanometer,
00:36:20.22\00:36:24.92
6 colors measured by
photon that's the part of light
00:36:24.93\00:36:28.77
that we can see that is visible.
00:36:28.78\00:36:31.63
And that illustrate
the character quality
00:36:31.64\00:36:34.96
that God is longsuffering
it's a Hebrew word "Ark"
00:36:34.97\00:36:38.16
it means patience day after day
00:36:38.17\00:36:40.64
have you ever
thought how long God
00:36:40.65\00:36:42.14
has born with his simple world.
00:36:42.15\00:36:44.93
We believe
according to geologist study
00:36:44.94\00:36:48.16
about 6000 years God has been
longsuffering with this world.
00:36:48.17\00:36:53.90
Let me ask you
question your family deny
00:36:53.91\00:36:56.34
does it need patience and your
children ever need patience.
00:36:56.35\00:37:01.12
Did parents ever need the
character quality of patience
00:37:01.13\00:37:04.90
when dealing
with their children.
00:37:04.91\00:37:07.05
I have four sons in our family
00:37:07.06\00:37:10.15
and I know all about
this patience business.
00:37:10.16\00:37:12.84
There're to be
patience with me and I had learn
00:37:12.85\00:37:15.37
to be patience with them.
00:37:15.38\00:37:17.20
What about our neighbors,
00:37:17.21\00:37:18.49
do you ever had
neighbor that needed patience?
00:37:18.50\00:37:24.67
Or the neighbors needed
to be patience with you.
00:37:24.68\00:37:27.58
What about the
workplace, see your boss?
00:37:27.59\00:37:29.93
Does he ever need
patience in dealing with you?
00:37:29.94\00:37:33.08
What about you
in dealing with him?
00:37:33.09\00:37:35.59
What about work
maids in the workplace,
00:37:35.60\00:37:38.16
do they need patience?
And do we need patience?
00:37:38.17\00:37:42.15
This character quality
of God is so necessary.
00:37:42.16\00:37:46.63
That UV light, UV light
is 400 nanometers in length,
00:37:46.64\00:37:50.44
this is what creates sunburn
00:37:50.45\00:37:53.16
as also where we
also create vitamin D,
00:37:53.17\00:37:56.17
do we need those?
00:37:56.18\00:37:58.16
Not the sunburn we
do need the vitamin D
00:37:58.17\00:38:01.34
if you get it in the right
amount that's the Hebrew word
00:38:01.35\00:38:05.33
"Takeed" it means to
bow again to unequal.
00:38:05.34\00:38:08.67
He treats us on a
equal basis and he treats us
00:38:08.68\00:38:12.47
all the same the world over,
no matter what race you are,
00:38:12.48\00:38:17.49
or color, he has the
same love and compassion
00:38:17.50\00:38:21.69
as one of his children.
00:38:21.70\00:38:23.62
Notice carefully that
God can create goodness
00:38:23.63\00:38:27.02
and he does not reflect badness.
00:38:27.03\00:38:29.57
Do we need that
quality because sometime
00:38:29.58\00:38:32.05
we dealing with people
they can teach you very unkindly
00:38:32.06\00:38:35.82
and if you're simply reflecting
00:38:35.83\00:38:37.72
there are in loneliness back
00:38:37.73\00:38:39.46
to them that
becomes a problem does not?
00:38:39.47\00:38:41.95
We have to have the
creator to create his goodness
00:38:41.96\00:38:45.16
in our hearts in order
to pass that on to others.
00:38:45.17\00:38:48.90
X-ray they're
penetrating it can be dangerous
00:38:48.91\00:38:52.12
but it also can be
beneficial because it seats
00:38:52.13\00:38:55.62
beneath the
service but it is stopped
00:38:55.63\00:38:57.94
only by bone and
doctors use x-ray
00:38:57.95\00:39:01.64
and that means to
be abounding in truth.
00:39:01.65\00:39:05.37
Hebrew word "Amat"
00:39:05.38\00:39:06.93
and it gives a
certain stability truth
00:39:06.94\00:39:10.74
you can count on and
yet penetrates error.
00:39:10.75\00:39:14.92
In a world of
deception do we need truth
00:39:14.93\00:39:18.02
and that's the character
quality of God is truth.
00:39:18.03\00:39:20.69
Gamma rays sun
nuclear very penetrating
00:39:20.70\00:39:24.58
and then God is the
one who forgives iniquity
00:39:24.59\00:39:28.94
and sin that we
need forgiveness.
00:39:28.95\00:39:31.66
Does this world
need forgiveness tonight
00:39:31.67\00:39:33.52
what about your family
ever has to forgive one
00:39:33.53\00:39:35.86
another at your house?
00:39:35.87\00:39:38.12
We need his forgiveness
to see the invisible God
00:39:38.13\00:39:42.38
these qualities or
so crucially important
00:39:42.39\00:39:46.86
as we think of them.
00:39:46.87\00:39:48.31
His last quality is justice.
00:39:48.32\00:39:50.96
There's our world need justice,
00:39:50.97\00:39:53.58
are we glad to
know that there is a God
00:39:53.59\00:39:56.52
who is also a God of justice?
00:39:56.53\00:39:59.72
Have you ever been wrong,
00:39:59.73\00:40:00.89
deeply wrong and
longed for justice.
00:40:00.90\00:40:05.89
Scripture tells
us one day justice
00:40:05.90\00:40:08.66
will be established
but Habakkuk 2 verse 4
00:40:08.67\00:40:13.42
in the Old Testament tells
us the justice live by faith."
00:40:13.43\00:40:16.72
And then in this
world we need his faith
00:40:16.73\00:40:19.90
and so as we work our way
through this light that God
00:40:19.91\00:40:25.50
demonstrated for us.
00:40:25.51\00:40:28.81
That was what Moses
saw on the mountain top
00:40:28.82\00:40:31.93
was the character of God.
00:40:31.94\00:40:34.94
And the Bible
says, "Forever Your word
00:40:34.95\00:40:36.85
is settled
(stands firm) in heaven.
00:40:36.86\00:40:39.38
Your faithfulness
endures to all generations;
00:40:39.39\00:40:42.23
you established the earth,
00:40:42.24\00:40:43.72
and it abides
and it (stands sure).
00:40:43.73\00:40:46.55
They continue this day
according to your ordinances,
00:40:46.56\00:40:51.46
for all are your servants
these (invisible laws)."
00:40:51.47\00:40:54.63
According to Psalms 119,
they are all God servants.
00:40:54.64\00:40:58.61
For by Him all things
were created that are in heaven
00:40:58.62\00:41:01.19
and that are on
earth, visible and invisible.
00:41:01.20\00:41:03.65
And in Him all things
consists. Colossians 1:16
00:41:03.66\00:41:09.35
Is there true light in a
false slide in this world today.
00:41:09.36\00:41:13.66
Philippians 4:8 suggest
00:41:13.67\00:41:15.50
that we need a put
on the armour of light
00:41:15.51\00:41:17.63
that will filter out
darkness and the first questions
00:41:17.64\00:41:20.90
and I would like you
to reply that to the media
00:41:20.91\00:41:23.55
that coming to your
home, the music, the T.V.
00:41:23.56\00:41:27.70
well that pass
the test of truth.
00:41:27.71\00:41:31.10
Is it noble, is it just,
is it pure, is it lovely,
00:41:31.11\00:41:38.76
is it of a good report,
is there any virtue in it.
00:41:38.77\00:41:43.68
is anything praiseworthy?
00:41:43.69\00:41:44.89
The Bible tells us to
meditate on these things.
00:41:44.90\00:41:50.82
And so we need to put
on this armor of light.
00:41:50.83\00:41:55.15
Do our homes need
this kind of protection?
00:41:55.16\00:41:57.82
I just wish that
flash on every T.V. screen
00:41:57.83\00:42:00.72
when it's turned on and
if your mom passed that test
00:42:00.73\00:42:03.90
you won't let it in your
house fathers and mothers
00:42:03.91\00:42:08.21
and children you
won't let it into your mind.
00:42:08.22\00:42:10.95
So we need this armor of light
00:42:10.96\00:42:12.52
that Romans 13 talks
about, to awaken out of sleep,
00:42:12.53\00:42:15.94
to cast off the
works of darkness,
00:42:15.95\00:42:18.13
put on the armor of light,
00:42:18.14\00:42:19.83
to walk properly as in the day
00:42:19.84\00:42:22.01
and make no
provision for the flesh."
00:42:22.02\00:42:25.44
And young people my
testimony is simply this that.
00:42:25.45\00:42:32.91
when I was 9 ½
years old I committed
00:42:32.92\00:42:35.19
my life to the Lord.
00:42:35.20\00:42:38.35
I began to seek
Him in this word at 9 ½
00:42:38.36\00:42:42.60
and I never went
back on that decision.
00:42:42.61\00:42:45.72
And my testimony is this
00:42:45.73\00:42:47.32
when you have on
the armour of light,
00:42:47.33\00:42:49.35
when you washing your mind
00:42:49.36\00:42:51.09
with this book
with this powerful light
00:42:51.10\00:42:54.14
coming into your life.
00:42:54.15\00:42:56.05
When that's
happening you're protected
00:42:56.06\00:42:59.35
but armor of light.
And my testimony is this.
00:42:59.36\00:43:03.81
Never once at all my
high school year and college
00:43:03.82\00:43:08.53
and graduate school that ever
have to say no to cigarettes.
00:43:08.54\00:43:14.60
I was never offered one.
00:43:14.61\00:43:17.32
Why not, when you have on
the armour of light and God
00:43:17.33\00:43:21.13
is walking with you in
that light you are protected
00:43:21.14\00:43:23.97
you don't have to say no,
the light says no for you.
00:43:23.98\00:43:26.80
I didn't have say
no to booze or alcohol.
00:43:26.81\00:43:29.62
No one has ever
offered me alcohol
00:43:29.63\00:43:33.22
why not because when
you're walking with God
00:43:33.23\00:43:36.30
in the light of his
Word and you're walking
00:43:36.31\00:43:38.54
with those who walk in
that word you're protected.
00:43:38.55\00:43:42.85
And in the schools I went to
00:43:42.86\00:43:44.60
I never had to girlie magazines
00:43:44.61\00:43:47.59
no one ever
offered one, why not?
00:43:47.60\00:43:50.75
Because when you're walking
in God's light and his word
00:43:50.76\00:43:53.74
you're protected
with this armor of light.
00:43:53.75\00:43:56.74
And when you've that on
and you're walking confidently
00:43:56.75\00:43:59.59
and boldly in the light of
this Word you're protected.
00:43:59.60\00:44:02.74
Dear young people
you need the protection
00:44:02.75\00:44:06.18
of the armor of light.
00:44:06.19\00:44:10.93
"Thou, God, seest me."
00:44:10.94\00:44:14.48
And we need to know that he
seest us even in the darkness.
00:44:14.49\00:44:19.67
Who has shown in our hearts
00:44:19.68\00:44:21.13
to give light of the
knowledge of the glory of God
00:44:21.14\00:44:24.81
all seven of
those qualities of God.
00:44:24.82\00:44:28.67
"But we have this
treasure in earthen vessels,
00:44:28.68\00:44:31.22
that the excellence of the power
00:44:31.23\00:44:32.39
may be of God and not of us."
00:44:32.40\00:44:35.93
Therefore, we do not lose heart.
00:44:35.94\00:44:42.08
Even though our
outward man is perishing,
00:44:42.09\00:44:44.05
yet the inward
man is being renewed
00:44:44.06\00:44:46.25
day by day by his word.
00:44:46.26\00:44:51.40
And for the things of this world
00:44:51.41\00:44:53.38
that we see that are
visible are temporary,
00:44:53.39\00:44:56.32
but the things that are
not seen, they are eternal."
00:44:56.33\00:45:02.84
And so I want draw a conclusion
00:45:02.85\00:45:05.71
to this message tonight.
00:45:05.72\00:45:07.06
What would it have
been like on that day
00:45:16.12\00:45:18.27
when the
creator--created this world?
00:45:18.28\00:45:23.68
And as He created this world--
00:45:29.93\00:45:31.48
--he spoke and it was done.
00:45:36.95\00:45:39.96
He commanded
and it's stood fast.
00:45:39.97\00:45:43.68
And matter came into
existence by His sound waves.
00:45:54.37\00:45:59.97
And I'd like to suggest that God
00:46:16.20\00:46:19.29
is setting for His portrait
00:46:19.30\00:46:22.18
in each one of our lives.
00:46:22.19\00:46:24.76
And He also is
adding color to our lives
00:46:30.41\00:46:35.37
and sometimes
we don't understand
00:46:35.38\00:46:38.62
what His color is all about.
00:46:38.63\00:46:42.69
Because sometimes,
in our lives, He puts in
00:46:42.70\00:46:46.36
colors that we don't understand
00:46:49.51\00:46:51.71
and sometimes
He puts other marks
00:47:03.33\00:47:07.74
that we don't understand.
00:47:07.75\00:47:09.15
He is setting for His portrait
00:47:20.99\00:47:22.76
and He wants us to expose
00:47:22.77\00:47:24.77
our minds through
the light of His word.
00:47:24.78\00:47:28.41
And we get impatience with God,
00:47:37.70\00:47:39.27
sometimes it seems like He
is just not adding the colors
00:47:39.28\00:47:44.07
fasten up but if
we're patience with Him.
00:47:44.08\00:47:47.25
Some of the marks that
didn't make sense as we wait,
00:47:53.06\00:47:58.09
they do make sense,
00:47:58.10\00:48:00.55
and they begin to
add meaning to our lives.
00:48:00.56\00:48:05.05
But then there comes times
in our life but we have darkness
00:48:15.77\00:48:23.68
and there are dark times
00:48:23.69\00:48:27.32
when we don't
understand what's going on.
00:48:27.33\00:48:32.70
And there are boulders and rocks
00:48:32.71\00:48:36.06
of difficulty that come in
and we don't understand; Lord,
00:48:36.07\00:48:42.96
are you still there?
00:48:42.97\00:48:44.20
Do you know what's
happening in my world?
00:48:44.21\00:48:46.29
And I don't know
what you're facing
00:48:46.30\00:48:48.34
in your personal
life but I know one thing
00:48:48.35\00:48:53.62
"Thou God seest to me".
00:48:53.63\00:48:58.19
He knows the
darkness that you are facing.
00:48:58.20\00:49:00.75
He knows the problems
that you are coping with.
00:49:00.76\00:49:07.58
And these hardest part
00:49:07.59\00:49:15.13
times when doubts move in,
00:49:15.14\00:49:19.18
and despair comes to
us, and we just wonder;
00:49:19.19\00:49:25.29
Lord, do you know what
it is that I am facing,
00:49:29.25\00:49:35.34
what I'm going through.
00:49:35.35\00:49:39.59
And as the
picture begins to unfold,
00:49:39.60\00:49:44.41
we get tired of
waiting on God's patience.
00:49:44.42\00:49:49.73
Have we get all them impatience,
00:49:49.74\00:49:50.97
when we say, you know, Lord,
I'm going to take the chalk
00:49:50.98\00:49:55.16
of life into my hands
and I'm going to start living
00:49:55.17\00:49:58.24
the way I want to live
and fool you with your word,
00:49:58.25\00:50:01.38
fool you with your
laws, even the invisible one.
00:50:01.39\00:50:04.79
And we take the chalk
in our hands and we say,
00:50:04.80\00:50:08.04
I'm going to run my life the way
00:50:08.05\00:50:11.68
I want to and so we
begin to put some marks
00:50:11.69\00:50:16.89
on the picture and before
you know it, all of a sudden
00:50:16.90\00:50:22.21
these marks coming and
conflicts come into our life
00:50:22.22\00:50:26.67
and pain and
difficulty and lost, and we say,
00:50:26.68\00:50:30.47
Oh, no, I messed up the picture,
00:50:30.48\00:50:33.91
there is no hope for me.
00:50:33.92\00:50:36.70
I've gone too far.
00:50:36.71\00:50:38.44
I've wrecked the
picture, it's no use.
00:50:38.45\00:50:41.58
My's will go kill
myself and self-destruction
00:50:41.59\00:50:47.36
is the number one
killer of youth today
00:50:47.37\00:50:50.75
because they think
they came for nothing,
00:50:50.76\00:50:53.44
and they don't know
about the creator God.
00:50:53.45\00:50:55.22
They think,
they came for nothing
00:50:55.23\00:50:56.80
and the future holds
nothing so, fool you with it.
00:50:56.81\00:50:59.94
But the great God in Heaven
is inviting us in this series,
00:50:59.95\00:51:05.80
this week to put
ourselves back on His easle.
00:51:05.81\00:51:11.74
And let Him finish the picture
00:51:11.75\00:51:13.84
that He had in my
when He gave you life
00:51:13.85\00:51:16.57
in your mother's womb.
00:51:16.58\00:51:19.78
And if you'll put
yourself back on God's easle
00:51:19.79\00:51:22.97
and you'll take
the light of His word
00:51:22.98\00:51:29.11
and put yourself
back on His easle
00:51:29.12\00:51:33.16
then He can take
these mistakes in your life
00:51:33.17\00:51:36.34
and He can turn them
into a meaningful testimony
00:51:36.35\00:51:43.01
of His mercy,
of His graciousness
00:51:43.02\00:51:46.61
of all those character qualities
00:51:46.62\00:51:50.10
that Moses saw on the mountain.
00:51:50.11\00:51:54.29
And he'll begin to take
those marks that we put,
00:51:54.30\00:52:01.65
and He can
transform them and make them
00:52:01.66\00:52:05.06
into a meaningful
part of the picture
00:52:05.07\00:52:12.68
that He wants to produce
in your life and no matter,
00:52:12.69\00:52:16.75
how badly you have
messed up the creator
00:52:16.76\00:52:21.56
wants you in the
light of His word
00:52:21.57\00:52:25.74
He wants to change your picture.
00:52:25.75\00:52:28.73
And by faith, we
must see this picture
00:52:38.29\00:52:42.65
the way it will finally end.
00:52:42.66\00:52:48.84
And the creator
00:52:48.85\00:52:54.61
can take all our mistakes.
00:52:54.62\00:53:01.25
And if we'll bring that
to Him and put ourselves back
00:53:01.26\00:53:05.24
on a easle and believe
that "Thou, God, seest me,"
00:53:05.25\00:53:11.75
you can trust Him for He
is able to do exceedingly,
00:53:11.76\00:53:19.15
abundantly more
than we can think or ask
00:53:19.16\00:53:24.50
and so with the light of faith.
00:53:24.51\00:53:27.80
We want to see this picture
00:53:32.66\00:53:34.57
the way it
really is in if we can
00:53:34.58\00:53:36.63
put out these other lights.
00:53:36.64\00:53:38.94
We'll by faith take
the invisible light,
00:53:38.95\00:53:42.80
and we'll see the way
this picture really is
00:53:42.81\00:53:47.94
when we see it from the
creator's point of view.
00:53:47.95\00:53:52.44
And by faith,
00:53:52.45\00:53:56.94
we'll discover that the creator
00:53:56.95\00:54:01.14
is fully capable of
taking your mistakes and turning
00:54:01.15\00:54:06.86
it into a testimony of
His amazing grace, His mercy,
00:54:06.87\00:54:13.47
and His power. And I
want to appeal to you tonight;
00:54:13.48\00:54:17.88
give Him all the broken
pieces and let Him create
00:54:17.89\00:54:24.30
to create in
your life a new heart.
00:54:24.31\00:54:29.03
