In the beginning,
00:00:01.76\00:00:04.05
the earth was
without form and void.
00:00:04.06\00:00:07.82
Then God said,
"Let there be light"
00:00:07.83\00:00:11.71
and there was light.
00:00:11.72\00:00:14.57
And God divided the
light from the darkness.
00:00:14.58\00:00:17.37
So the evening and the
morning were the first day.
00:00:17.38\00:00:20.46
So the evening and the
morning were the second day.
00:00:34.42\00:00:36.81
Then God said, "Let the
waters under the heavens
00:00:41.61\00:00:43.98
be gathered
together into one place,
00:00:43.99\00:00:46.16
and let the dry land appear.
00:00:46.17\00:00:48.04
Let the Earth bring
forth grass and herb
00:00:52.85\00:00:55.25
and the fruit tree that yields
fruit according to its kind.
00:00:57.72\00:01:00.52
So the evening and the
morning were the third day.
00:01:02.82\00:01:05.57
Then God made two great lights.
00:01:08.94\00:01:11.54
He made the stars also.
00:01:11.55\00:01:12.95
So the evening and the
morning were the fourth day.
00:01:12.96\00:01:16.33
Then God said,
"Let the waters abound
00:01:21.50\00:01:23.28
within abundance
of living creatures
00:01:23.29\00:01:25.26
and let birds
fly above the Earth
00:01:29.97\00:01:32.40
across the face of the
firmament of the heavens.
00:01:32.41\00:01:35.10
So the evening and the
morning were the fifth day.
00:01:38.55\00:01:41.20
Then God said, "Let
the Earth bring forth
00:01:45.46\00:01:47.39
living creatures
according to its kind,
00:01:47.40\00:01:52.32
cattle, and creeping
things, and beasts of the Earth.
00:01:52.33\00:01:55.30
Then God said, "Let us make man
00:02:04.79\00:02:06.59
in our image
according to our likeness."
00:02:06.60\00:02:10.52
So the evening and the
morning were the sixth day.
00:02:10.53\00:02:13.74
And on the seventh
day, God ended his work,
00:02:15.97\00:02:18.41
which he had done, and he rested
00:02:18.42\00:02:20.06
the seventh day from all
his work which he had done.
00:02:20.07\00:02:22.64
Then God
blessed the seventh day,
00:02:22.65\00:02:24.14
and sanctified it
because in it, He had rested
00:02:24.15\00:02:26.94
from all His work which
God had created and made.
00:02:26.95\00:02:31.26
And indeed it was very good.
00:02:31.27\00:02:35.83
Tonight we
invite the Holy Spirit
00:02:35.84\00:02:39.02
that caused
creation to take place
00:02:39.03\00:02:42.89
to meet with us
tonight and give us a heart
00:02:42.90\00:02:44.95
understanding of
this subject and help me
00:02:44.96\00:02:48.75
to make it simple, clear but
absolutely accurate and true.
00:02:48.76\00:02:55.26
So teach us tonight as our
prayer in Jesus name, amen.
00:02:55.27\00:03:00.32
We've been
walking our way through
00:03:00.33\00:03:01.57
the first chapter of Genesis.
00:03:01.58\00:03:04.36
And we discovered in the
first chapter of Genesis,
00:03:04.37\00:03:08.89
in Genesis 1
verse 4 and God said,
00:03:10.37\00:03:13.91
"Let there be
light" and there was light.
00:03:13.92\00:03:18.95
But this evening we
take up day number four.
00:03:20.23\00:03:27.14
We notice in Genesis
1 verse 4 God divided
00:03:27.15\00:03:31.50
the light from darkness.
00:03:31.51\00:03:34.18
Daniel 2:22 says, "God
knows what's in the darkness."
00:03:34.19\00:03:37.85
Astronomers do not know.
00:03:37.86\00:03:39.88
They just know there's an
awful lot of energy out there.
00:03:39.89\00:03:43.02
And astronomers believe
that more of the universe
00:03:43.03\00:03:45.53
is invisible than what's visible
00:03:45.54\00:03:47.93
because of the energy
coming out of the darkness.
00:03:47.94\00:03:52.03
But on day four,
beginning with verse 14,
00:03:52.04\00:03:56.99
we read these
words and then God said,
00:03:57.00\00:04:01.25
"Let there be lights in
the firmament of the heavens
00:04:01.26\00:04:05.46
to divide the day from
the night and let them be
00:04:05.47\00:04:09.70
for signs and seasons,
and for days and years.
00:04:09.71\00:04:14.61
And let them be for lights
in the firmament of the heavens
00:04:14.62\00:04:18.65
to give light on the
Earth," and it was so.
00:04:18.66\00:04:23.32
And then God
made two great lights,
00:04:23.33\00:04:27.23
the greater
light to rule the day,
00:04:27.24\00:04:30.47
and the lesser
light to rule the night.
00:04:30.48\00:04:33.05
He made the stars also.
00:04:33.06\00:04:36.00
God set them in the
firmament of the heavens
00:04:36.01\00:04:38.85
to give light on
the Earth, and to rule
00:04:38.86\00:04:41.87
over the day and over the night,
00:04:41.88\00:04:44.13
and to divide the
light from the darkness.
00:04:44.14\00:04:47.80
And God saw that it was good.
00:04:47.81\00:04:51.25
So the evening and the
morning were the fourth day."
00:04:51.26\00:04:57.10
On this day we
discovered that the Creator
00:04:57.11\00:04:59.08
now creates
something to take over the work
00:04:59.09\00:05:02.11
that He'd been doing
for the past three days.
00:05:02.12\00:05:04.93
If you please
God's personal presence
00:05:04.94\00:05:07.60
was a special grow
light, if you please,
00:05:07.61\00:05:10.51
that was working on
day one, two, and three,
00:05:10.52\00:05:14.21
but now on day
four, the Creator creates
00:05:14.22\00:05:18.03
something else to take
over the work of dividing
00:05:18.04\00:05:21.69
the day from the night.
00:05:21.70\00:05:24.87
And so Genesis 1
verse 17, "And God set them
00:05:24.88\00:05:27.86
in the
firmament of the heavens,"
00:05:27.87\00:05:30.77
to do the following things.
00:05:30.78\00:05:32.96
Number one, to
give light on the Earth.
00:05:32.97\00:05:37.11
Number two, to rule over
the day and over the night.
00:05:37.12\00:05:43.27
And number three, to
divide the light from darkness.
00:05:43.28\00:05:48.19
Here we see the
Creator has created something,
00:05:48.20\00:05:51.43
which is now
taking over the work
00:05:51.44\00:05:53.74
of separating the
light from darkness.
00:05:53.75\00:05:57.90
And Genesis 1 verse 16,
"Then God made two great lights,
00:05:57.91\00:06:03.91
the greater
light to rule the day
00:06:03.92\00:06:07.59
and the lesser
light to rule the night."
00:06:07.60\00:06:12.73
We've noticed that when
you run the light of the Sun
00:06:12.74\00:06:16.57
through the prism,
we can see three colors.
00:06:16.58\00:06:21.52
Sir Isaac Newton was the
first one to demonstrate this,
00:06:21.53\00:06:25.70
three primary colors
red, green, and blue.
00:06:25.71\00:06:30.59
And we discovered on day
one, as we took a look that
00:06:30.60\00:06:33.71
there is more of light that
is invisible than is visible.
00:06:33.72\00:06:38.88
In fact, the electromagnetic
spectrum of light
00:06:38.89\00:06:42.30
would make a
measurement that might reach
00:06:42.31\00:06:45.04
from here to the moon
and the part that we see
00:06:45.05\00:06:47.54
on that light
spectrum would be about
00:06:47.55\00:06:50.59
a couple inches on that scale.
00:06:50.60\00:06:52.76
So you know when the
Bible says you're blind,
00:06:52.77\00:06:54.84
you don't know it, that's
actually a physical reality
00:06:54.85\00:06:58.00
we really don't see very much.
00:06:58.01\00:07:01.67
But astronomers as
they look into the Heavens,
00:07:01.68\00:07:04.96
they have learnt
to utilize the total
00:07:04.97\00:07:08.23
electromagnetic
spectrum and there are at least
00:07:08.24\00:07:11.20
six different kinds of
telescopes that look up
00:07:11.21\00:07:14.60
into the Heavens and we
have learned a great deal
00:07:14.61\00:07:17.72
about the heavens because
we're using special telescopes
00:07:17.73\00:07:21.70
that measure the invisible
light that we cannot see.
00:07:21.71\00:07:25.94
And God made the
greater light to rule the day.
00:07:27.70\00:07:31.58
And this is the Sun as
seen with the hydrogen filter
00:07:33.06\00:07:35.91
and you can notice there
as you look at the outer edge
00:07:35.92\00:07:39.68
you can see it
looks like lighter flames
00:07:39.69\00:07:43.23
leaping out into space.
00:07:43.24\00:07:45.26
Again the filter,
00:07:45.27\00:07:49.33
Sunspots are one
of the most remarkable
00:07:49.34\00:07:53.62
features that we see
when we look at the Sun.
00:07:53.63\00:07:56.89
And the one that
measures the Sunspots perhaps
00:07:58.34\00:08:01.81
better than any other
science has discovered
00:08:01.82\00:08:04.35
is the giant solar collectors
00:08:04.36\00:08:07.13
that are on planet
Earth called trees.
00:08:07.14\00:08:09.77
And they've studied the tree
rings and they've discovered
00:08:09.78\00:08:12.92
that there is a
direct relationship between
00:08:12.93\00:08:15.88
Sunspot movement and the
size of the rings on the tree.
00:08:15.89\00:08:21.09
And you can take a
look at the rings on a tree
00:08:21.10\00:08:24.17
and pretty well
chart the activity
00:08:24.18\00:08:27.70
of the Sunspots
based on its size.
00:08:27.71\00:08:32.21
Now Sunspots, they still don't
know what they are exactly.
00:08:32.22\00:08:35.38
But we know that the
solar flares, that's the flames
00:08:35.39\00:08:41.18
that are leaping out
into outer space from the Sun
00:08:41.19\00:08:44.67
reach out 400,000
miles out into outer space.
00:08:44.68\00:08:50.25
When you have the
diamond ring eclipse,
00:08:50.26\00:08:52.98
you can see the solar flares,
the red part leaping up out
00:08:52.99\00:08:57.82
into the heavens
becomes visible when
00:08:57.83\00:09:00.59
something blocks out
the other lighter part.
00:09:00.60\00:09:03.87
And these flames reach
out 400,000 miles into space
00:09:03.88\00:09:08.81
and the heat is tremendous.
00:09:08.82\00:09:11.61
The heat--one
pinhead of material
00:09:11.62\00:09:16.66
heated to the temperature
of the Sun and placed
00:09:16.67\00:09:20.04
100 miles away from where
we're seated here tonight,
00:09:20.05\00:09:23.68
the heat would be so
intense that it would kill you.
00:09:23.69\00:09:26.53
A 100 miles away, one
pinhead size of material
00:09:26.54\00:09:30.63
heated to the
temperature of the Sun.
00:09:30.64\00:09:33.25
The Sun is incredibly hot.
00:09:33.26\00:09:36.59
And it is so hot 93 million
miles away from planet Earth,
00:09:36.60\00:09:41.46
it takes eight
minutes for a ray to come
00:09:41.47\00:09:45.53
from the Sun to Earth
covering that distance.
00:09:45.54\00:09:48.14
And yet, when it gets
here, it's still warm.
00:09:48.15\00:09:50.81
As we all know if you've
laid on a beach for very long,
00:09:50.82\00:09:54.17
it sure can be
very hot and can do
00:09:54.18\00:09:56.84
quite a bit of
damage to our skin.
00:09:56.85\00:10:01.83
So in Genesis 1 verse 16,
"God made the two great lights,
00:10:01.84\00:10:05.28
the greater
light to rule the day
00:10:05.29\00:10:07.00
and the lesser
light to rule the night."
00:10:07.01\00:10:10.83
And then we find these words,
and "He made the stars also."
00:10:10.84\00:10:17.61
You know, in our
seminar, you remember I said,
00:10:17.62\00:10:20.23
we wanna maintain
the attitude of humility
00:10:20.24\00:10:22.97
and try to carefully
look at the scriptures
00:10:22.98\00:10:25.54
and not judge too
quickly because some things
00:10:25.55\00:10:28.22
I'm about to say in the
next few minutes may challenge
00:10:28.23\00:10:31.32
what you've previously believed.
00:10:31.33\00:10:33.38
So stay with me very carefully.
00:10:33.39\00:10:36.12
What were the
stars that He made also?
00:10:36.13\00:10:39.91
Some have honestly
believed that God created
00:10:39.92\00:10:43.21
the entire
universe on the fourth day.
00:10:43.22\00:10:45.98
I would like you to
notice the words of scripture
00:10:45.99\00:10:48.55
very carefully, does not
say that He made all the stars.
00:10:48.56\00:10:53.37
It's just simply a parenthesis
phrase, He made the stars.
00:10:53.38\00:10:58.27
Also, it does not say how many
00:10:58.28\00:11:00.34
and it does not say which ones.
00:11:00.35\00:11:03.09
And I think we
ought to be very careful
00:11:03.10\00:11:04.96
to rightly divide the
word of God because we--
00:11:04.97\00:11:08.23
if we interpret it incorrectly,
00:11:08.24\00:11:12.05
we can do great damage to
both understanding of science
00:11:12.06\00:11:16.45
as well as understanding
what did God really say.
00:11:16.46\00:11:18.75
And then a man who is about
to lose his faith in the Bible
00:11:18.76\00:11:22.01
and then the Church
because he thought the Bible
00:11:22.02\00:11:24.56
and the Church
taught that all the universe
00:11:24.57\00:11:28.24
came into
existence on the fourth day.
00:11:28.25\00:11:30.31
I do not believe that
that's what the Bible teaches
00:11:30.32\00:11:33.54
and that's not
what the Church teaches.
00:11:33.55\00:11:35.73
So let's look at some
scripture that can kindly
00:11:35.74\00:11:38.20
help us to understand
that on this fourth day
00:11:38.21\00:11:41.14
God did not create all
the stars on the fourth day.
00:11:41.15\00:11:45.93
In fact, the Bible
speaks very fluently in at least
00:11:45.94\00:11:48.60
five different places before
the foundations of the Earth
00:11:48.61\00:11:51.72
certain things were
happening in the universe.
00:11:51.73\00:11:55.51
So let's notice first of
all Job, the 38th Chapter.
00:11:55.52\00:11:59.22
And let's just take a
look at what is this scripture
00:11:59.23\00:12:03.29
telling us God is talking
with Job out of a whirlwind.
00:12:03.30\00:12:08.35
And God asked a
question there in verse 4,
00:12:08.36\00:12:11.18
"Where were you when I laid
the foundations of the Earth?
00:12:11.19\00:12:15.49
Tell Me, if you
have understanding.
00:12:15.50\00:12:18.59
Who determined its measurements?
00:12:18.60\00:12:20.47
Surely you know! Or who
stretched the line upon it?
00:12:20.48\00:12:24.50
To what were its
foundations fastened?
00:12:24.51\00:12:27.92
Or who laid its cornerstone,
when the morning stars
00:12:27.93\00:12:32.36
sang together, and all the
sons of God shouted for joy?
00:12:32.37\00:12:38.43
Now we notice this scripture
very carefully it says here,
00:12:38.44\00:12:41.85
"When He laid the cornerstone,
00:12:41.86\00:12:43.56
when the morning
stars sang together."
00:12:43.57\00:12:47.17
As you read this
carefully, that's not speaking
00:12:47.18\00:12:49.44
figuratively in any
part of this chapter.
00:12:49.45\00:12:52.50
It's speaking very literally.
00:12:52.51\00:12:53.79
And we know that
the stars as they move
00:12:53.80\00:12:56.22
through the
space, give off sound.
00:12:56.23\00:12:59.10
They can be measured
with the radio telescopes
00:12:59.11\00:13:02.33
and I would like to suggest
that when the morning stars
00:13:02.34\00:13:05.83
sang together, there
were stars already in place.
00:13:05.84\00:13:09.87
And not only that, but
notice also and all the sons,
00:13:09.88\00:13:13.50
plural, of God shouted for joy.
00:13:13.51\00:13:17.07
So the question is who
were these sons of God, plural,
00:13:17.08\00:13:22.49
that were shouting for joy
when God created this Earth?
00:13:22.50\00:13:26.50
So if you go back to the
very first chapter of Job,
00:13:26.51\00:13:30.30
we get a picture there
00:13:30.31\00:13:31.91
and we'll start
with verse 6 and 7.
00:13:31.92\00:13:34.88
"There was a day when
the sons, plural, of God
00:13:34.89\00:13:38.15
came to present
themselves before the Lord,
00:13:38.16\00:13:40.82
and Satan also came among them.
00:13:40.83\00:13:43.57
And the Lord said to Satan,
"And where do you come from?"
00:13:43.58\00:13:46.75
So Satan answered
the Lord and said,
00:13:46.76\00:13:48.77
"From going to
and fro on the Earth,
00:13:48.78\00:13:51.38
and from walking
back and forth on it.
00:13:51.39\00:13:53.85
And then the Lord said to Satan,
00:13:53.86\00:13:55.68
"Have you
considered My servant Job,
00:13:55.69\00:13:57.65
that there is none like
him, blameless and upright,
00:13:57.66\00:14:00.75
and one who fears God?"
00:14:00.76\00:14:02.05
And so here we have sons
of God appearing before God,
00:14:02.06\00:14:06.87
and God asked Satan
specifically the question,
00:14:06.88\00:14:10.19
"And where do you come from?"
00:14:10.20\00:14:11.76
And his answer was,
00:14:11.77\00:14:14.09
"From walking to
and fro on planet Earth.
00:14:14.10\00:14:18.45
Now we get a little clue
who were these sons of God
00:14:18.46\00:14:21.80
that gathered together
and Satan came along with them
00:14:21.81\00:14:24.43
and he came from planet Earth.
00:14:24.44\00:14:25.88
And I'd like to suggest
he came from planet Earth
00:14:25.89\00:14:28.32
because he claimed to
represent planet Earth because
00:14:28.33\00:14:32.13
when Adam fell into
sin, Satan took over
00:14:32.14\00:14:35.98
the ruler ship
from Adam of this Earth.
00:14:35.99\00:14:39.87
And he came to
represent planet Earth
00:14:39.88\00:14:42.60
in the Heavenly counsel
that was taking place there.
00:14:42.61\00:14:46.36
But we get a clue to
the answer of who these
00:14:46.37\00:14:48.89
sons of God were if you
will go to Luke the 3rd Chapter,
00:14:48.90\00:14:53.24
Luke the 3rd Chapter verse 38.
00:14:53.25\00:14:57.11
And it's giving the
genealogy of Jesus Christ
00:14:57.12\00:15:01.50
and it traces Him from
Joseph all the way back to Adam.
00:15:01.51\00:15:08.08
And we notice in verse 38,
00:15:08.09\00:15:09.83
"The son of
Enos, the son of Seth,
00:15:09.84\00:15:12.94
the son of Adam, the
son, singular, of God."
00:15:12.95\00:15:19.01
And so we find
Adam was called a son,
00:15:19.02\00:15:22.79
singular, of God.
00:15:22.80\00:15:24.31
And he represented planet
Earth originally before sin
00:15:24.32\00:15:28.26
but when he fell by sin,
00:15:28.27\00:15:30.61
Satan took over that leadership,
00:15:30.62\00:15:32.71
and I would like
to suggest for you
00:15:32.72\00:15:34.48
thinking that tonight
that the sons of God, plural,
00:15:34.49\00:15:38.33
that were
meeting with God there,
00:15:38.34\00:15:40.23
the sons of God that
were shouting for joy
00:15:40.24\00:15:43.06
when God laid the
foundations of this Earth
00:15:43.07\00:15:45.55
were actually the heads
of other inhabited planets
00:15:45.56\00:15:48.76
in the universe,
and the universe was
00:15:48.77\00:15:51.77
quite well in place when
God created on this fourth day
00:15:51.78\00:15:56.23
the Sun and, I believe,
00:15:56.24\00:15:58.48
He also created
the other planets
00:15:58.49\00:16:02.20
and perhaps some other stars
as well on this fourth day.
00:16:02.21\00:16:06.14
But we will get more into that
00:16:06.15\00:16:07.63
little bit later as we go
on in the program this evening.
00:16:07.64\00:16:11.26
So the scripture says that,
00:16:11.27\00:16:12.94
"He created the lesser
light to rule the night."
00:16:12.95\00:16:15.64
And that was the moon.
00:16:15.65\00:16:17.29
And we take a look at the
moon and we ask ourselves,
00:16:17.30\00:16:19.35
what caused these lunar craters?
00:16:19.36\00:16:22.03
Well, we believe that
they were created by impacts
00:16:22.04\00:16:25.26
of other space
material that crashed into it.
00:16:25.27\00:16:29.62
And there is an
estimated 200,000 craters
00:16:29.63\00:16:32.81
larger than 1
kilometer on the moon.
00:16:32.82\00:16:35.70
And so we can see that
the moon has been taking
00:16:35.71\00:16:38.17
quite a few hits and I'm glad
00:16:38.18\00:16:40.76
it's taking the hits and
not planet Earth, aren't you?
00:16:40.77\00:16:44.45
I'm glad that it could be there
00:16:44.46\00:16:45.75
and there a permanent record
00:16:45.76\00:16:47.20
of past collisions with meteors.
00:16:47.21\00:16:50.24
And so we can ask
ourselves the question,
00:16:50.25\00:16:53.64
"What is the purpose of the moon
00:16:53.65\00:16:56.02
when it rules the night?"
00:16:56.03\00:16:58.77
Well, we could spend a
whole evening on just the moon.
00:16:58.78\00:17:02.78
One thing we can
note about the moon,
00:17:02.79\00:17:05.51
it rises 50
minutes later every night,
00:17:05.52\00:17:09.04
have you noticed that?
00:17:09.05\00:17:10.36
It's actually comes up almost
an hour later every evening.
00:17:10.37\00:17:15.15
Number two we
notice the moon marks
00:17:15.16\00:17:17.81
the signs of the seasons.
00:17:17.82\00:17:20.61
And we know farmers
know about the harvest moon
00:17:20.62\00:17:23.13
and spring moon
00:17:23.14\00:17:25.05
and they give it different names
00:17:25.06\00:17:27.47
because that is how many
farmers do their planting.
00:17:27.48\00:17:32.69
And it also ticks
off one month of time,
00:17:32.70\00:17:37.92
a lunar month we call it.
00:17:37.93\00:17:40.04
It produces the pull
of the tides of the sea
00:17:40.05\00:17:44.63
or has a marked influence on it.
00:17:44.64\00:17:47.12
We also note that it
has a very profound affect
00:17:47.13\00:17:52.11
upon plants, and animals,
00:17:52.12\00:17:54.90
and fish depending
on where that moon is,
00:17:54.91\00:17:58.45
and at what phase it is.
00:17:58.46\00:18:00.73
And we could spend quite a
bit more time on just the moon.
00:18:00.74\00:18:04.97
But this
evening, let's just notice
00:18:04.98\00:18:08.02
we know a great
deal about the moon
00:18:08.03\00:18:10.58
and our knowledge has increased
00:18:10.59\00:18:13.22
greatly in my dad's
lifetime and dad is 97.
00:18:13.23\00:18:17.65
Man has gone from old
Darwin, the oak burner,
00:18:17.66\00:18:21.17
to the moon and back
in my dad's lifetime.
00:18:21.18\00:18:24.73
And so knowledge has
been greatly increased
00:18:24.74\00:18:28.03
as the Bible
prophecy predicted it would.
00:18:28.04\00:18:30.89
In the last days,
Daniel predicted knowledge
00:18:30.90\00:18:34.79
would be increased.
00:18:34.80\00:18:36.29
And so according to science,
man has walked on the moon.
00:18:36.30\00:18:43.04
And what do you
think was the first hurdle
00:18:43.05\00:18:46.85
that mankind faced when
they were going to try to put
00:18:46.86\00:18:50.46
a man on the moon?
00:18:50.47\00:18:52.04
What was the first
thing that had to be overcome?
00:18:52.05\00:18:54.13
If we couldn't overcome this,
00:18:54.14\00:18:55.81
there would not be
the slightest chance
00:18:55.82\00:18:58.14
that you could ever
put a man on the moon.
00:18:58.15\00:19:00.99
A man who worked on the
moon project told me this.
00:19:01.00\00:19:07.54
"It was clocks."
00:19:07.55\00:19:09.90
Because that the
time they set about
00:19:09.91\00:19:11.79
to put a man on the moon,
00:19:11.80\00:19:13.17
there was no clock
on Earth accurate enough
00:19:13.18\00:19:16.68
to be in harmony
with the universe.
00:19:16.69\00:19:19.43
And that's
where the atomic clock
00:19:19.44\00:19:21.15
came into existence.
00:19:21.16\00:19:22.68
Because they had to have
a clock that was so precise,
00:19:22.69\00:19:26.37
otherwise there would
be not the finished chance
00:19:26.38\00:19:28.94
of landing a man on the moon.
00:19:28.95\00:19:30.79
Because when you are
shooting at a moving target
00:19:30.80\00:19:33.48
and you are a moving target,
00:19:33.49\00:19:35.61
you have got to be
absolutely precisely dead-on
00:19:35.62\00:19:40.54
or you're gonna miss that target
00:19:40.55\00:19:42.49
by--as we would
say a million miles.
00:19:42.50\00:19:46.39
Now Job tells us,
00:19:46.40\00:19:49.16
"And you hang the
Earth upon nothing."
00:19:49.17\00:19:53.69
That's quite an
accurate scientific statement
00:19:53.70\00:19:56.81
in this aged
book called the Bible.
00:19:56.82\00:20:00.62
And it wasn't
until the space program
00:20:00.63\00:20:04.13
that we actually
could see with physical eyes
00:20:04.14\00:20:07.32
that the Earth did
indeed hang upon nothing
00:20:07.33\00:20:10.70
at least nothing
that you could see.
00:20:10.71\00:20:13.43
And if you get anything
out of this message tonight,
00:20:13.44\00:20:17.32
what I'm about
to put on the screen
00:20:17.33\00:20:19.94
is the primary thought
00:20:19.95\00:20:21.89
that I want you
to grasp in your mind
00:20:21.90\00:20:24.38
as we take a
look at the heavens.
00:20:24.39\00:20:27.48
Because of the
need for better clocks,
00:20:27.49\00:20:31.69
if the universe
tells us anything,
00:20:31.70\00:20:35.12
it demonstrates Law and Order.
00:20:35.13\00:20:40.26
Everywhere you look
in the stellar universe,
00:20:40.27\00:20:44.09
you see very precise order.
00:20:44.10\00:20:48.22
And you see obedience to law.
00:20:48.23\00:20:52.00
In fact, that obedience
is a very precise obedience.
00:20:52.01\00:20:56.85
It is so precise that is--
you can go to an observatory
00:20:56.86\00:21:01.00
and you can tell the person
in-charge of that telescope,
00:21:01.01\00:21:04.07
I would like to
look at planet Saturn.
00:21:04.08\00:21:06.48
And he would look and he'd say,
00:21:06.49\00:21:07.69
yes it is-- he
would look at his clock
00:21:07.70\00:21:09.86
and he'd look at the
calendar and he would say,
00:21:09.87\00:21:11.43
"Yes, it's visible
right now in the heavens."
00:21:11.44\00:21:15.30
He would punch in
some calculations,
00:21:15.31\00:21:17.58
set the dials on the telescope,
00:21:17.59\00:21:19.57
swing it into place
and you would take a look
00:21:19.58\00:21:22.12
in the eyepiece and
there is Saturn dead-on.
00:21:22.13\00:21:25.78
And the only way you can do that
00:21:25.79\00:21:28.23
is that those planets
are neither early nor late.
00:21:28.24\00:21:32.70
They are
precisely in the exact spot
00:21:32.71\00:21:37.55
that the Creator
set them to be in.
00:21:37.56\00:21:41.18
And when you take a
look at the planets,
00:21:41.19\00:21:46.01
what we know is that
they had all be there
00:21:46.02\00:21:49.29
at the same time
they did not evolve.
00:21:49.30\00:21:51.75
They had to all be in
the heavens at the same time
00:21:51.76\00:21:55.54
or the planets would not
stay in their proper order
00:21:55.55\00:21:59.57
because each one influences
the other to be on its target.
00:21:59.58\00:22:03.79
And if they weren't all there,
00:22:03.80\00:22:05.63
the whole thing would
not function as it does.
00:22:05.64\00:22:10.09
And so notice this statement,
00:22:10.10\00:22:11.73
"Rapturous amazement at
the harmony of natural law,
00:22:11.74\00:22:15.73
which reveals an
intelligence of such superiority
00:22:15.74\00:22:20.38
that when compared with it,
00:22:20.39\00:22:21.84
all the systematic thinking
and acting of human beings
00:22:21.85\00:22:26.07
is utterly
insignificant reflection."
00:22:26.08\00:22:29.53
You know, who said that.
00:22:29.54\00:22:32.03
That was Albert Einstein.
00:22:32.04\00:22:34.39
That was his
view of the universe
00:22:34.40\00:22:37.93
and that's what
he said about it.
00:22:37.94\00:22:39.66
That the harmony
of what kind of law,
00:22:39.67\00:22:42.33
natural law,
laws that are emplaced
00:22:42.34\00:22:45.18
that man did not
create, had nothing to do with.
00:22:45.19\00:22:47.73
Sir Isaac Newton
when he discovered
00:22:47.74\00:22:49.49
the law of gravity and he
was voted by associated press
00:22:49.50\00:22:53.46
as the most influential
man in the last 1,000 years.
00:22:53.47\00:22:56.77
And he said
because I give it a term,
00:22:56.78\00:23:00.47
gravity, does not mean that
00:23:00.48\00:23:02.16
I understand
anything about it at all.
00:23:02.17\00:23:05.77
He just came up
with some formulas
00:23:05.78\00:23:08.51
that all the world of
physics still uses to this day.
00:23:08.52\00:23:14.62
And while they charted him
as the most influential man,
00:23:14.63\00:23:17.85
never forget he was a Christian.
00:23:17.86\00:23:20.73
And spent more
time with the Bible
00:23:20.74\00:23:22.80
than he did in the science lab
00:23:22.81\00:23:24.58
but the world
remembers him for his science
00:23:24.59\00:23:27.76
not his study of this book.
00:23:27.77\00:23:29.84
But he did write a
book about revelation
00:23:29.85\00:23:32.35
and you can read
it, do a Google search.
00:23:32.36\00:23:34.78
And you can find it and read it
00:23:34.79\00:23:36.31
and it's worth
reading, very thought provoking.
00:23:36.32\00:23:40.06
So all planets relate to the Sun
00:23:40.07\00:23:42.46
and to each other
in a way of the cross.
00:23:42.47\00:23:47.31
The cross is the
greatest single demonstration
00:23:47.32\00:23:49.92
of self denying love that
human beings can ever ponder
00:23:49.93\00:23:54.08
and these planets all
obey in a way of self denial.
00:23:54.09\00:23:59.04
Hear me carefully. I
didn't say they think.
00:23:59.05\00:24:01.60
I said they function in
an action of self denial
00:24:01.61\00:24:05.30
and that they
stay in their orbit.
00:24:05.31\00:24:07.32
They don't get over
into somebody else's.
00:24:07.33\00:24:09.45
They stay exactly
in that precise orbit
00:24:09.46\00:24:12.27
and obey the laws of their
being in a self denying way.
00:24:12.28\00:24:17.36
They don't become creative
00:24:17.37\00:24:18.85
and decide I'm gonna
find a new way to do this.
00:24:18.86\00:24:21.64
They are on target precisely.
00:24:21.65\00:24:24.98
Herschel, one of the
greatest astronomers said,
00:24:24.99\00:24:28.26
"All human
discoveries seem to be made
00:24:28.27\00:24:30.68
only for the
purpose of confirming
00:24:30.69\00:24:33.00
more strongly the
truths that come from on high
00:24:33.01\00:24:36.65
and are contained in
the sacred writings."
00:24:36.66\00:24:40.03
That's one of the
greatest astronomers
00:24:40.04\00:24:41.91
and that's what he
thinks about this book
00:24:41.92\00:24:44.44
as we look into the heavens.
00:24:44.45\00:24:46.73
And so as we look
into the heavens tonight,
00:24:46.74\00:24:49.10
I'd like to take you on a
very fast quick short trip
00:24:49.11\00:24:54.06
and this is an artist conception
00:24:54.07\00:24:56.04
that Sun is on the far left
00:24:56.05\00:24:59.05
and then they are
drawn somewhat to scale
00:24:59.06\00:25:02.01
and we will walk our way
00:25:02.02\00:25:03.99
through all of the nine planets
00:25:04.00\00:25:07.23
that circle our Sun.
00:25:07.24\00:25:08.41
The first one is Mercury
00:25:08.42\00:25:10.60
and its 36 million
miles from the Sun.
00:25:10.61\00:25:13.66
The temperature is
370 degrees Celsius
00:25:13.67\00:25:16.09
that would melt
lead, by the way.
00:25:16.10\00:25:17.99
And during the long
night, it is way below freezing.
00:25:18.00\00:25:22.32
It travels the
fastest at over 100,000 miles
00:25:22.33\00:25:26.09
an hour around the Sun.
00:25:26.10\00:25:28.80
And is the smallest,
only 3,100 miles in diameter.
00:25:28.81\00:25:33.24
The Venus is seen clearly
in the evening or morning.
00:25:33.25\00:25:36.83
It lies 67
million miles from the Sun
00:25:36.84\00:25:40.53
and is Earth's closest
planet and it spins backwards.
00:25:40.54\00:25:46.90
According to the
theory of evolution
00:25:46.91\00:25:48.55
and the law of angular momentum,
00:25:48.56\00:25:50.49
if there was an
explosion like a big bang
00:25:50.50\00:25:53.11
everything would spin
off in the same direction.
00:25:53.12\00:25:56.25
But that's not what
we see in the universe.
00:25:56.26\00:25:58.52
At this point, Venus is spinning
00:25:58.53\00:26:01.50
in the exact opposite direction
00:26:01.51\00:26:03.39
as are two other
planets in our solar system.
00:26:03.40\00:26:08.87
And its diameter is
very similar to the Earth
00:26:08.88\00:26:10.84
7,700 miles and it
is 67.2 million miles
00:26:10.85\00:26:16.93
from the Sun,
and has an atmosphere
00:26:16.94\00:26:19.43
and the daytime temperature
is about 60 degree Celsius.
00:26:19.44\00:26:23.68
At night, it's a -25 Celsius.
00:26:23.69\00:26:27.01
Then we come to
our dear planet Earth.
00:26:27.02\00:26:29.74
Its 93 million
miles from the Sun
00:26:29.75\00:26:32.06
and is tilted to 23 and
half degrees from vertical.
00:26:32.07\00:26:35.96
It spins at 1,000
miles an hour at the equator.
00:26:35.97\00:26:39.62
It takes 365 days
to circle the Sun,
00:26:39.63\00:26:43.13
traveling at
66,600 miles an hour.
00:26:43.14\00:26:47.27
I like to think of
my birthday that way.
00:26:47.28\00:26:50.45
Just think since I was born,
00:26:50.46\00:26:53.22
the Sun has only made
69 cycles around the Sun.
00:26:53.23\00:26:58.97
So it doesn't sound so
bad when you say it that way.
00:26:58.98\00:27:01.85
And then Mars
the great red planet,
00:27:01.86\00:27:05.81
141 million miles from the Sun,
00:27:05.82\00:27:07.94
about half the size of the Earth
00:27:07.95\00:27:09.84
at 4,200 miles in diameter.
00:27:09.85\00:27:12.58
It spins at 15 miles per second.
00:27:12.59\00:27:15.28
Its daytime
temperature is 25 Celsius,
00:27:15.29\00:27:18.43
night time a -40 Celsius.
00:27:18.44\00:27:21.14
We have taken pictures of
Mars from the Viking Lander.
00:27:21.15\00:27:26.24
Notice carefully as we
walk through these planets,
00:27:26.25\00:27:30.04
are they
different from each other?
00:27:30.05\00:27:32.52
They are markedly different.
00:27:32.53\00:27:34.05
This is not some kind
of an explosion of pieces
00:27:34.06\00:27:37.18
flying out into space somewhere.
00:27:37.19\00:27:39.40
No, each one is unique
and very, very different
00:27:39.41\00:27:42.41
from any of the
others. The largest is Jupiter.
00:27:42.42\00:27:46.45
It is the largest planet
00:27:46.46\00:27:47.88
located 483
million miles from the Sun.
00:27:47.89\00:27:51.50
It spins the fastest
at 8.1 miles a second,
00:27:51.51\00:27:55.17
turns around in
less than 10 hours.
00:27:55.18\00:27:57.84
And it sends out
strong radio waves
00:27:57.85\00:28:00.92
at 22 million cycles per second.
00:28:00.93\00:28:04.16
Its total mass is
two and a half times
00:28:04.17\00:28:06.37
greater than all the rest
of the planets put together.
00:28:06.38\00:28:10.51
And it is one of
the neatest things
00:28:10.52\00:28:12.19
to look at in the heavens.
00:28:12.20\00:28:13.29
I have a six-inch telescope
00:28:13.30\00:28:15.71
and I just love
to look at Jupiter
00:28:15.72\00:28:18.04
with its four moons
that are so clearly visible
00:28:18.05\00:28:22.49
with even small telescopes.
00:28:22.50\00:28:24.82
It actually has 16 moons,
some orbit in one direction,
00:28:24.83\00:28:29.53
and some in another.
00:28:29.54\00:28:30.93
There is one of them
and there is the other
00:28:30.94\00:28:33.81
and they move in
different directions.
00:28:33.82\00:28:37.43
Saturn located at 886.2
million miles from the Sun.
00:28:37.44\00:28:45.36
It is 75,100 miles in diameter.
00:28:47.79\00:28:54.14
And it takes 29
00:28:54.15\00:28:55.26
and a half years
to circle the Sun.
00:28:55.27\00:28:57.28
And Saturn has 17 moons.
00:28:57.29\00:28:59.72
All orbit in the same
direction, except for Phoebe,
00:28:59.73\00:29:04.36
and it goes in the
opposite direction.
00:29:04.37\00:29:07.14
Someone said, just enough
to make the big bang theory
00:29:07.15\00:29:09.88
really look not too intelligent.
00:29:09.89\00:29:13.36
We could say a lot
about the big bang theory.
00:29:13.37\00:29:16.34
The big bang theory as
it was originally put forth,
00:29:16.35\00:29:18.73
was put forth by a creationist.
00:29:18.74\00:29:21.51
Because he believed
that all the heavens
00:29:21.52\00:29:23.66
had to be in
place at a reasonably
00:29:23.67\00:29:26.28
soon period of time,
00:29:26.29\00:29:28.71
but
evolutionists picked up on that
00:29:28.72\00:29:30.39
and they tried to make it
into some kind of an explosion.
00:29:30.40\00:29:34.16
But the big bang
theory is already exploded
00:29:34.17\00:29:37.46
and all the astronomers know
it's really a very sick theory
00:29:37.47\00:29:41.16
and it does not
match observable science.
00:29:41.17\00:29:44.33
Saturn with over 17
moons hastening on in space.
00:29:44.34\00:29:48.71
We come to Uranus.
00:29:48.72\00:29:50.38
It is located at one
billion 783 million miles
00:29:50.39\00:29:55.83
from the Sun.
Notice the distance.
00:29:55.84\00:29:58.48
And it orbits
the Sun in 84 years
00:29:58.49\00:30:01.66
and it moves at
14 miles per second.
00:30:01.67\00:30:05.27
And it spins on its axis
every 10 and a half hours
00:30:05.28\00:30:10.29
at 4.2 miles per second.
00:30:10.30\00:30:12.98
And notice this
one also is spinning
00:30:12.99\00:30:15.33
in the opposite
direction to the others.
00:30:15.34\00:30:18.93
And it also has five moons.
00:30:18.94\00:30:21.66
And then we have Neptune
00:30:21.67\00:30:23.47
located to 2,794
million miles from the Sun.
00:30:23.48\00:30:29.34
It has the
diameter of 30,770 miles,
00:30:29.35\00:30:32.45
takes 165 years
to circle the Sun
00:30:32.46\00:30:36.26
at 10,800 miles per hour.
00:30:36.27\00:30:40.87
It also has two moons,
00:30:40.88\00:30:43.76
Triton, which
orbits east to west,
00:30:43.77\00:30:45.99
and Nereid, which
orbits west to east,
00:30:46.00\00:30:48.80
they going in two
opposite directions altogether.
00:30:48.81\00:30:52.57
And then we come to the one
00:30:52.58\00:30:55.13
that used to think
was the farthest one out
00:30:55.14\00:30:57.95
and that is Pluto.
00:30:57.96\00:31:01.21
Its 3.7 billion
miles from the Sun.
00:31:01.22\00:31:06.30
Think of it. That's a long way.
00:31:06.31\00:31:09.45
And if you got on
board a Concorde jet
00:31:09.46\00:31:13.99
and traveled at
1,500 miles an hour.
00:31:14.00\00:31:16.96
It would take 300 years
00:31:16.97\00:31:18.53
just to get to
Pluto at those speeds.
00:31:18.54\00:31:22.70
It orbits the Sun in 248 years.
00:31:22.71\00:31:25.26
It has one
satellite and its satellite
00:31:25.27\00:31:27.76
is half the size of itself.
00:31:27.77\00:31:31.62
And it also rotates backwards.
00:31:31.63\00:31:36.46
This particular
picture is a composite picture
00:31:36.47\00:31:40.09
taken in the early
morning light of about 5
00:31:40.10\00:31:43.72
of the planets
all lined up together,
00:31:43.73\00:31:46.43
that picture will not
be seen again for another,
00:31:46.44\00:31:49.70
I think they estimate
about 2 million years.
00:31:49.71\00:31:52.56
Next time that lines up,
00:31:52.57\00:31:53.84
I hope it's a new heavens
00:31:53.85\00:31:55.03
and a new Earth, don't you?
00:31:55.04\00:31:57.27
And so here we have them--
00:31:57.28\00:32:00.46
they have now found
another 1,000 icy Pluto
00:32:00.47\00:32:04.32
like objects
beyond Neptune's orbit.
00:32:04.33\00:32:07.75
And they are collectively
called Kuiper's Belt.
00:32:07.76\00:32:11.66
And as you may have
heard they have demoted Pluto
00:32:11.67\00:32:15.90
and don't call it a real planet,
00:32:15.91\00:32:17.38
but that's
still under discussion
00:32:17.39\00:32:19.33
and probably they will
call it a planet again.
00:32:19.34\00:32:22.76
But the other planet, Eris,
00:32:22.77\00:32:24.94
that we know of out there
00:32:24.95\00:32:26.46
is actually bigger than Pluto.
00:32:26.47\00:32:28.41
And so, let's try
to get a little idea
00:32:28.42\00:32:30.42
of how big really
are we on planet Earth.
00:32:30.43\00:32:33.92
And so we just compare ourselves
00:32:33.93\00:32:36.03
there size wise that's Earth,
00:32:36.04\00:32:38.53
and Venus, and Mars,
and Mercury, and Pluto.
00:32:38.54\00:32:41.39
And you can tell
from that picture
00:32:41.40\00:32:42.98
Earth is the biggest one there.
00:32:42.99\00:32:44.64
We're big stuff, right?
00:32:44.65\00:32:46.72
Well, now when you
compare to the other planets,
00:32:46.73\00:32:50.67
Jupiter, and Saturn,
and Uranus, and Neptune,
00:32:50.68\00:32:53.95
and you notice where Earth is.
00:32:53.96\00:32:56.43
It's been demoted
quite a bit size wise
00:32:56.44\00:33:00.39
as we compare and
Pluto is hardly noticeable.
00:33:00.40\00:33:03.90
But now hang on to
your seats and try to grasp
00:33:03.91\00:33:06.26
what we're now about to look at.
00:33:06.27\00:33:10.61
This is our Sun
and this is the planets
00:33:10.62\00:33:13.76
compared to it Jupiter
00:33:13.77\00:33:15.71
and the other planets there
00:33:15.72\00:33:19.07
and notice where Earth is.
00:33:19.08\00:33:21.15
It's just a little
tiny speck down there
00:33:21.16\00:33:24.89
when you compare it to the Sun.
00:33:24.90\00:33:26.20
You could put a
million Earths in our Sun
00:33:26.21\00:33:29.40
and still be
comfortable in space.
00:33:29.41\00:33:32.50
But now this next
picture, look very carefully
00:33:32.51\00:33:35.81
and see if you can find
where the Earth really is?
00:33:35.82\00:33:41.86
That's our Sun where the arrow
00:33:41.87\00:33:43.88
is pointing to
and that's Sirius,
00:33:43.89\00:33:46.18
another star, and
Pollux and Arcturus.
00:33:46.19\00:33:48.59
These are other Suns.
00:33:48.60\00:33:50.29
And so you can see our
Sun that we think is so big,
00:33:50.30\00:33:54.09
is actually really very
small when you compare it
00:33:54.10\00:33:59.01
to some of the other Suns
00:33:59.02\00:34:01.11
that we know of
in our neighborhood
00:34:01.12\00:34:03.46
circling around our
part-- our corner of the galaxy
00:34:03.47\00:34:08.96
if you please
call the Milky Way.
00:34:08.97\00:34:10.85
But now hold on to your seats
00:34:10.86\00:34:12.13
and look really
carefully at this next picture
00:34:12.14\00:34:14.76
and see if you
can even find our Sun.
00:34:14.77\00:34:18.71
And you probably can't see it.
00:34:18.72\00:34:21.99
But it's
actually one pixel in size
00:34:22.00\00:34:25.01
and where do you
think planet Earth
00:34:25.02\00:34:26.38
is compared to that?
00:34:26.39\00:34:28.88
And you can see
00:34:28.89\00:34:29.89
there are other
stars infinitely bigger.
00:34:29.90\00:34:33.34
And so when David
asked the question,
00:34:33.35\00:34:35.09
what is man, that
thou art mindful of him?
00:34:35.10\00:34:37.78
He may--he didn't know
what we just looked at.
00:34:37.79\00:34:40.87
But when you
look at it that way,
00:34:40.88\00:34:43.98
how do you feel?
00:34:43.99\00:34:45.77
Kind of, maybe, insignificant.
00:34:45.78\00:34:48.47
Our Earth is
rather insignificant
00:34:48.48\00:34:50.60
or our Sun is insignificant.
00:34:50.61\00:34:52.78
But when we go into the heavens,
00:34:52.79\00:34:55.50
and Job 9:9 says,
00:34:55.51\00:35:00.69
Lord you have
created the Pleiades,
00:35:00.70\00:35:05.25
and the Bear, and
the other constellations.
00:35:05.26\00:35:07.59
Notice carefully that God
00:35:07.60\00:35:09.09
specifically
warned ancient Israel
00:35:09.10\00:35:11.78
when he said, "Do
not worship the stars."
00:35:11.79\00:35:16.49
Many people have
worshiped the stars in the past.
00:35:16.50\00:35:19.44
The heathen have
worshipped the stars
00:35:19.45\00:35:21.55
and people today are
worshiping the stars.
00:35:21.56\00:35:25.43
Notice carefully
astronomy and astrology,
00:35:25.44\00:35:28.40
astrology is not astronomy.
00:35:28.41\00:35:31.78
Astrology is a system of belief.
00:35:31.79\00:35:36.74
This happens to be
the Eastern zodiac.
00:35:36.75\00:35:39.60
This is the one on this side.
00:35:39.61\00:35:41.05
This is an
imaginary belt in the heavens
00:35:41.06\00:35:44.72
and they have
given names to these
00:35:44.73\00:35:47.36
and you've heard
of the horoscopes.
00:35:47.37\00:35:49.66
Many people live
by those horoscopes
00:35:49.67\00:35:52.46
that are published in
newspapers and so forth.
00:35:52.47\00:35:56.06
But what most
people don't realize
00:35:56.07\00:35:57.75
those horoscopes are set
00:35:57.76\00:35:59.88
by the Babylonian charts long,
00:35:59.89\00:36:03.44
long ago and they are
hopelessly out of sync
00:36:03.45\00:36:06.43
with where the heavens are today
00:36:06.44\00:36:08.94
and so when they tell you,
00:36:08.95\00:36:10.20
you were born under
such and such a sign
00:36:10.21\00:36:12.32
and that means such
and such and so forth,
00:36:12.33\00:36:15.00
actually, that
is not true at all
00:36:15.01\00:36:18.47
with observable science today.
00:36:18.48\00:36:20.93
Because the charts
they're using date way back
00:36:20.94\00:36:23.49
to the days of
the Babylonian pagans
00:36:23.50\00:36:25.84
when they worshipped the Sun.
00:36:25.85\00:36:28.20
And--but we can
look into the heavens
00:36:28.21\00:36:30.58
and there are the constellations
00:36:30.59\00:36:32.51
and we don't have time to
go into the constellations.
00:36:32.52\00:36:35.97
But we're--many
are aware of Orion.
00:36:35.98\00:36:39.06
By the way, I do, do
a seminar 9 hours' worth
00:36:39.07\00:36:42.61
on the heavens
and we are just flying
00:36:42.62\00:36:44.91
through the heavens tonight.
00:36:44.92\00:36:46.16
This is surely getting
a little bird's eye view.
00:36:46.17\00:36:48.06
We spent a whole night
just on constellations.
00:36:48.07\00:36:51.21
And then there is Lyra
00:36:51.22\00:36:53.15
what I want you
to notice is this.
00:36:53.16\00:36:56.57
These stars are predictive.
00:36:56.58\00:36:58.85
You can predict where they are
00:36:58.86\00:37:00.96
because they're obedient to law.
00:37:00.97\00:37:03.31
But here's the part I want you
00:37:03.32\00:37:04.57
to really fasten in your mind.
00:37:04.58\00:37:07.02
The greatest
proof that this world
00:37:07.03\00:37:09.63
and universe did not
evolve is predictive prophecy.
00:37:09.64\00:37:16.26
Because you could
not possibly predict
00:37:16.27\00:37:18.35
the future if
everything was random,
00:37:18.36\00:37:21.33
chance, and accidental
that would be impossible.
00:37:21.34\00:37:24.62
And yet the Bible predicts
00:37:24.63\00:37:27.33
"Present your
case," says the Lord.
00:37:27.34\00:37:28.94
"Let them bring forth
and show us what will happen
00:37:28.95\00:37:32.12
and declare to
us things to come.
00:37:32.13\00:37:34.40
Show us the things
that are to come hereafter.
00:37:34.41\00:37:36.85
And we will know
whether you are God or not.
00:37:36.86\00:37:39.86
God is saying, I predict
the end from the beginning.
00:37:39.87\00:37:43.46
I can tell you
what the future is
00:37:43.47\00:37:45.85
and so with predictive prophecy,
00:37:45.86\00:37:48.30
there are many.
Jeremiah 51:36 and 37,
00:37:48.31\00:37:53.45
It predicted the city
of "Babylon shall become
00:37:53.46\00:37:59.16
a heap and
without an inhabitant."
00:37:59.17\00:38:02.23
And it predicted that it
would never ever be rebuilt.
00:38:02.24\00:38:06.00
And that
prediction was made in 595 BC.
00:38:06.01\00:38:10.38
That prediction was
made and today you can go
00:38:10.39\00:38:15.74
and it's located
where Babylon was,
00:38:15.75\00:38:18.38
is 50 miles south of Baghdad,
00:38:18.39\00:38:20.50
it's flat, it's hot,
it's deserted and it's dusty.
00:38:20.51\00:38:25.29
That's just one
of the predictions
00:38:25.30\00:38:27.38
that was predicted and
today we can look at it
00:38:27.39\00:38:30.41
and it was fulfilled.
00:38:30.42\00:38:32.62
But there are other predictions.
00:38:32.63\00:38:35.20
Scholars tell us that
there are 600 predictions
00:38:35.21\00:38:39.74
in the Old and the New
Testaments of the scripture.
00:38:39.75\00:38:44.26
600 predictions
that you can test out
00:38:44.27\00:38:46.92
and see whether
that's really true or not
00:38:46.93\00:38:49.73
and we know from
examining it, it is true.
00:38:49.74\00:38:52.57
There are 300 of
these predictions
00:38:52.58\00:38:55.33
that all relate to one
individual, Jesus Christ.
00:38:55.34\00:39:00.27
24 of those predictions
were fulfilled in one weekend
00:39:00.28\00:39:03.93
and some of those
predictions were made
00:39:03.94\00:39:05.92
a 1,000 years before He was born
00:39:05.93\00:39:10.44
but the longest time
prophecy in this book
00:39:10.45\00:39:14.47
is found in the Book of Daniel,
00:39:14.48\00:39:17.40
the ancient Book of Daniels.
00:39:17.41\00:39:20.59
Also we--I've
discovered in scripture
00:39:20.60\00:39:24.42
that he has fixed the day
00:39:24.43\00:39:25.90
on which He would
judge the whole Earth.
00:39:25.91\00:39:29.16
And Bible prophecy tells us
00:39:29.17\00:39:31.95
that we are nearing that time.
00:39:31.96\00:39:33.79
Is that important to know?
00:39:33.80\00:39:35.19
The Bible says,
"This world's gonna
00:39:35.20\00:39:37.05
come to an end." It's
not gonna go on forever.
00:39:37.06\00:39:39.05
And it's not gonna burn out.
00:39:39.06\00:39:40.53
We don't have time
to go into that prophecy
00:39:40.54\00:39:42.25
but if you go
to AmazingFacts.org
00:39:42.26\00:39:45.11
and check out that website
00:39:45.12\00:39:47.04
and ask for their
Bible study on prophecies
00:39:47.05\00:39:50.18
you can study
that out for yourself
00:39:50.19\00:39:53.34
and you will find
it most fascinating.
00:39:53.35\00:39:56.27
"The stars of the
heavens are all under law,
00:39:56.28\00:39:58.48
each influencing the
other to do the will of God,
00:39:58.49\00:40:01.41
yielding their
common obedience to the law
00:40:01.42\00:40:04.36
that controls their action."
00:40:04.37\00:40:06.62
And in the heavens, if
we could just take time
00:40:06.63\00:40:08.95
to go out there and look,
00:40:08.96\00:40:10.23
we would see such beauty.
00:40:10.24\00:40:12.80
And I believe that the
stars that He made also.
00:40:12.81\00:40:16.71
Now the pictures
we're about to look at
00:40:16.72\00:40:18.84
may make your head spin,
00:40:18.85\00:40:20.70
so sit right up
straight and carefully notice
00:40:20.71\00:40:24.62
because we're gonna walk
through this very quickly.
00:40:24.63\00:40:27.24
The Earth is
spinning at the equator
00:40:27.25\00:40:29.18
at 1,000 miles an
hour every 24 hours
00:40:29.19\00:40:32.19
it rotates once on its axis.
00:40:32.20\00:40:35.14
Notice carefully our Sun
00:40:35.15\00:40:36.89
and all the planets
are circling the Sun
00:40:36.90\00:40:39.38
and Earth is circling the Sun.
00:40:39.39\00:40:41.55
And it is traveling
66,600 miles an hour
00:40:41.56\00:40:46.12
and at that speed
it takes it one year
00:40:46.13\00:40:48.45
to make one
circle around the Sun.
00:40:48.46\00:40:50.97
They all are circling that Sun
00:40:50.98\00:40:53.68
and then we find our Sun
00:40:53.69\00:40:55.46
also is part of the
Milky Way galaxy system
00:40:55.47\00:41:00.56
and with its 10 or more planets
00:41:00.57\00:41:05.72
all circling each other.
00:41:05.73\00:41:07.35
They are also
circling our Milky Way galaxy
00:41:07.36\00:41:12.00
at 500,000 miles an hour
00:41:12.01\00:41:15.50
and they estimate
that at that speed
00:41:15.51\00:41:17.98
it would take
about 2 million years
00:41:17.99\00:41:20.99
for our Sun to make one circuit
00:41:21.00\00:41:23.52
around that Milky Way galaxy.
00:41:23.53\00:41:25.91
That Milky Way
galaxy, if planet Sun
00:41:25.92\00:41:29.62
and its moons were all created
00:41:29.63\00:41:32.61
on this fourth day,
00:41:32.62\00:41:34.33
they'd be new
comers to the block,
00:41:34.34\00:41:36.16
I think, just new kids.
00:41:36.17\00:41:39.10
Or it is conceivable
that God could have welcomed--
00:41:39.11\00:41:42.48
created the
entire Milky Way system
00:41:42.49\00:41:45.58
on that fourth day if he did so.
00:41:45.59\00:41:49.24
Our Milky Way galaxy
with its 100 billion Suns
00:41:49.25\00:41:53.20
is moving through space
00:41:53.21\00:41:54.48
at 1.1 million miles an hour.
00:41:54.49\00:41:59.81
Isaiah asked the
question lift up your eyes
00:41:59.82\00:42:04.14
and see who has
created these things,
00:42:04.15\00:42:06.30
who brings out
their host by number,
00:42:06.31\00:42:08.45
He calls them all by name,
00:42:08.46\00:42:11.35
and by the
greatness of His might
00:42:11.36\00:42:12.96
and the strength of His power,
00:42:12.97\00:42:14.39
and not one is missing.
00:42:14.40\00:42:16.39
But these galaxies are
also circling each other.
00:42:16.40\00:42:19.52
Latest estimate saw
that they are all moving
00:42:19.53\00:42:21.92
through space at 3
billion miles an hour
00:42:21.93\00:42:25.73
and some of the
latest research suggests
00:42:25.74\00:42:27.75
that they're all
headed in the same direction.
00:42:27.76\00:42:30.29
And, dear
people, that's purpose.
00:42:30.30\00:42:32.60
They're going somewhere
and at a high rate of speed.
00:42:32.61\00:42:37.72
Notice as we take a
look at that solar system,
00:42:37.73\00:42:40.57
it looks like something
what does it look like?
00:42:40.58\00:42:43.96
It looks like an atom.
00:42:43.97\00:42:47.49
There are many
galaxies. They did not evolve.
00:42:47.50\00:42:50.49
Wherever they
looked, they are complete.
00:42:50.50\00:42:53.33
They are as common as
blades of grass in a field.
00:42:53.34\00:42:56.15
And they found 1,000 new ones
00:42:56.16\00:42:58.27
when they looked
in the empty space
00:42:58.28\00:43:00.32
in the area of the Big Dipper.
00:43:00.33\00:43:03.22
So where are we
located in these galaxies.
00:43:03.23\00:43:06.56
If you look carefully,
our Sun is located there
00:43:06.57\00:43:10.11
and this is the Sagittarius
Arm of our Milky Way galaxy
00:43:10.12\00:43:14.72
and this is the Perseus Arm.
00:43:14.73\00:43:16.84
And our Sun is
located in the space
00:43:16.85\00:43:20.58
between those two
called the Orion belt.
00:43:20.59\00:43:24.48
And that's where we're located,
00:43:24.49\00:43:25.91
when you look to the south,
00:43:25.92\00:43:27.55
you're looking
towards the center
00:43:27.56\00:43:29.32
of our Milky Way galaxy system.
00:43:29.33\00:43:32.46
Our bodies are sort of
like a walking universe.
00:43:32.47\00:43:35.28
Don't miss Saturday morning
00:43:35.29\00:43:37.28
when we take up the subject
00:43:37.29\00:43:38.85
the most amazing thing in
all creation is the human body.
00:43:38.86\00:43:43.66
But those who
are wise will shine
00:43:43.67\00:43:45.20
like the
brightness of the firmament,
00:43:45.21\00:43:47.32
and those who turn
many to righteousness
00:43:47.33\00:43:49.02
like the stars forever.
00:43:49.03\00:43:52.81
It's like a ship
that's lost in a storm.
00:43:52.82\00:43:55.36
He doesn't know where he was at.
00:43:55.37\00:43:56.55
This was years
ago, the sailing ships.
00:43:56.56\00:43:58.87
But then, there was
a break in that storm
00:43:58.88\00:44:01.18
and then he can see the stars.
00:44:01.19\00:44:02.89
So he takes out his instrument
00:44:02.90\00:44:04.28
and he begins to
check out that measurement
00:44:04.29\00:44:07.18
and as he looks
at it pretty soon
00:44:07.19\00:44:10.32
as he keeps
checking out the stars,
00:44:10.33\00:44:12.85
he can discover where he is at.
00:44:12.86\00:44:16.11
And he can get his bearings.
00:44:16.12\00:44:18.52
And I'd like to suggest that
00:44:18.53\00:44:22.00
God has written
His law in your heart.
00:44:22.01\00:44:26.44
And we get
confused in our world today
00:44:26.45\00:44:29.07
but if we will keep that
law, it becomes a shelter to us
00:44:29.08\00:44:32.91
and protection and
it will help us to know
00:44:32.92\00:44:36.41
where we are.
00:44:36.42\00:44:39.09
And if you lay those
words up in your heart
00:44:39.10\00:44:40.96
and in your soul, and bind them
00:44:40.97\00:44:42.30
as a sign in your hand,
they will be as frontlets
00:44:42.31\00:44:45.66
between your eyes
and you would teach them
00:44:45.67\00:44:48.41
to your children.
00:44:48.42\00:44:49.98
And they would become a shelter
00:44:49.99\00:44:52.02
and a protection to you.
00:44:52.03\00:44:55.17
And tonight I want to draw
a conclusion to this message.
00:44:55.18\00:44:57.93
But as I draw a conclusion
to this picture tonight,
00:44:59.32\00:45:02.58
I'm going to ask my
wife to share her testimony.
00:45:02.59\00:45:05.86
It's a story of
what happened to her.
00:45:05.87\00:45:08.90
And I'll finish that
story. So do two things at once.
00:45:08.91\00:45:13.51
You can watch the picture
and listen as Jean shares
00:45:13.52\00:45:17.37
an experience we
had when we met a storm
00:45:17.38\00:45:20.61
that was bigger than we are.
00:45:20.62\00:45:23.05
It's incredible how
God can care for just one
00:45:36.66\00:45:41.32
seemingly insignificant
person in the universe
00:45:41.33\00:45:43.82
in such a big universe.
00:45:43.83\00:45:47.83
But I had an
experience several years ago,
00:45:47.84\00:45:51.97
where my life was spared.
00:45:51.98\00:45:54.56
I had been sick all night long
00:45:54.57\00:45:57.64
and the next morning my
husband was going to preach.
00:45:57.65\00:46:01.66
And I had a prickly sensation
00:46:01.67\00:46:06.84
that was coming in my feet
00:46:06.85\00:46:08.67
and I'd had a
history of allergies.
00:46:08.68\00:46:11.79
And I had taken some supplements
00:46:11.80\00:46:14.92
and I thought maybe this
was the problem I was having,
00:46:14.93\00:46:19.27
a reaction to supplements,
supplements I'd taken.
00:46:19.28\00:46:24.16
And this prickly sensation
00:46:24.17\00:46:26.59
was traveling very
quickly up my legs.
00:46:26.60\00:46:30.47
And I thought, you know,
00:46:30.48\00:46:33.41
I don't think
that Terry should leave
00:46:33.42\00:46:35.68
to go to church
and preach this morning
00:46:35.69\00:46:39.14
with me like this.
00:46:39.15\00:46:40.18
Because I think I'm
having an allergic reaction.
00:46:40.19\00:46:43.94
So, by the time they
got ready to go to church
00:46:43.95\00:46:52.54
I could not walk
00:46:52.55\00:46:54.77
and breathing was
getting very, very difficult
00:46:54.78\00:46:58.44
and we had one hour before
we could be at the hospital.
00:46:58.45\00:47:04.93
And we had to travel up a
very bad lodging mountain road.
00:47:04.94\00:47:11.29
Anyway, I soon was
having psychedelic colors
00:47:11.30\00:47:16.16
coming before my
eyes and my breathing
00:47:16.17\00:47:21.20
was just getting cut off.
00:47:21.21\00:47:24.30
And I just knew
that we would make it.
00:47:24.31\00:47:29.49
So before I went unconscious,
00:47:29.50\00:47:35.64
I saw a picture in my
mind that gave me such peace.
00:47:35.65\00:47:46.05
It was a picture of a
boat in the terrible storm.
00:47:46.06\00:47:52.51
And the waves were
coming over the boat,
00:47:52.52\00:47:56.31
but there was one at the wheel
00:47:56.32\00:47:59.44
who was guiding the
boat through the storm.
00:47:59.45\00:48:05.19
And it gave me such peace.
00:48:05.20\00:48:07.97
So I just felt like
I could go to sleep.
00:48:17.82\00:48:21.92
And I didn't need to worry.
00:48:21.93\00:48:24.14
Because Jesus would be
there to take care of my family
00:48:24.15\00:48:29.47
and so I just
relaxed and went to sleep,
00:48:29.48\00:48:33.93
I thought for
good, but God saw fit
00:48:33.94\00:48:39.18
to spare my life
those few years ago.
00:48:39.19\00:48:43.60
And...I praise the
Lord for that experience.
00:48:43.61\00:48:50.01
And my experience was
00:48:50.02\00:48:52.36
I was to preach
on Psalm 61 that day.
00:48:52.37\00:48:56.86
And I didn't get to
preach it, I got to leave it.
00:48:56.87\00:49:00.88
It says when your
heart is overwhelmed,
00:49:00.89\00:49:03.44
lead you to the rock
that's higher than I--
00:49:03.45\00:49:05.72
if we can have
the other lights out.
00:49:05.73\00:49:08.01
When your heart is overwhelmed
00:49:11.05\00:49:14.05
and I thought my wife was dying
00:49:14.06\00:49:15.52
and we rushed for the hospital.
00:49:15.53\00:49:18.94
My testimony was there
was perfect peace in my heart.
00:49:22.03\00:49:29.48
Because I wasn't
relying on the doctors.
00:49:29.49\00:49:31.22
They didn't know what to do.
00:49:31.23\00:49:32.94
And when they got her there,
00:49:35.24\00:49:36.99
they wanted to know
what drugs was she taking.
00:49:37.00\00:49:38.84
She didn't take any drugs.
00:49:38.85\00:49:40.63
They experimented around
and tried to figure it out
00:49:44.15\00:49:46.53
and finally Jean, she rallied
a little bit and she said,
00:49:46.54\00:49:54.62
"Doctor, I'm having
an allergy reaction,
00:49:54.63\00:49:57.47
give me some Benadryl."
00:50:00.91\00:50:04.79
And she began to come around.
00:50:04.80\00:50:10.13
What I want you
to notice is this,
00:50:10.14\00:50:13.41
that no matter how
bad the storm gets,
00:50:13.42\00:50:18.48
God does not vacate the throne
because you're in trouble.
00:50:18.49\00:50:25.71
And if you will rely on Him,
when your heart is overwhelmed
00:50:25.72\00:50:31.23
lead me to the rock
that's higher than I.
00:50:31.24\00:50:36.18
Those doctors
couldn't give Jean any drugs
00:50:36.19\00:50:40.08
because she is
allergic to everything.
00:50:40.09\00:50:43.20
And they didn't know what to do.
00:50:43.21\00:50:46.58
And she was had a
body core temperature
00:50:46.59\00:50:48.84
of a drowning person.
00:50:48.85\00:50:50.57
But gradually she
began to rally a little bit
00:50:54.57\00:51:00.41
and when they finally
gave her that shot of Benadryl,
00:51:00.42\00:51:03.53
she popped out of that storm.
00:51:03.54\00:51:07.60
And my question to you is this.
00:51:07.61\00:51:10.62
You must know those promises.
00:51:17.29\00:51:20.84
They'll be an anchor to you.
00:51:20.85\00:51:24.00
And when the night gets dark
00:51:24.01\00:51:25.56
and you can't see
where you're going,
00:51:25.57\00:51:27.61
His promises
are sure and certain
00:51:27.62\00:51:30.57
and you can count on them
00:51:30.58\00:51:32.77
and they will take you through.
00:51:32.78\00:51:35.87
And you can count on it
00:51:35.88\00:51:37.66
as surely as you can
count on the Bible's prophecies.
00:51:37.67\00:51:41.23
They are sure. They are certain.
00:51:41.24\00:51:44.21
They are like a compass.
00:51:44.22\00:51:45.99
They are an anchor point to you
00:51:46.00\00:51:47.17
that no matter how
bad the night gets,
00:51:47.18\00:51:50.66
the one who created
the stars is still in place
00:51:50.67\00:51:54.93
and is on target
and you can follow Him.
00:51:54.94\00:51:59.05
And you can anchor on
these exceedingly sure
00:51:59.06\00:52:02.38
and precious promises
and they will hold you true.
00:52:02.39\00:52:06.89
Eternal Father,
that's our prayer tonight.
00:52:08.81\00:52:13.64
We wanna build it on
something that's sure and solid
00:52:13.65\00:52:18.74
as are those
stars in their place.
00:52:18.75\00:52:22.64
We can count on
it and the same God
00:52:22.65\00:52:25.47
who hung them
there knows where we are
00:52:25.48\00:52:28.97
and can guide us
through no matter
00:52:28.98\00:52:31.16
what storm it is, we might face.
00:52:31.17\00:52:34.64
Dismiss us with his
keeping power as I pray
00:52:34.65\00:52:37.79
because we ask it
in His holy name, amen.
00:52:37.80\00:52:42.68
Worship Him
00:52:56.20\00:53:04.65
