In the beginning,
00:00:01.64\00:00:04.19
the earth was
without form and void.
00:00:04.20\00:00:07.95
Then God said,
"Let there be light."
00:00:07.96\00:00:11.74
And there was light.
00:00:11.75\00:00:14.53
And God divided the
light from the darkness.
00:00:14.54\00:00:17.52
So the evening and the
morning were the first day.
00:00:17.53\00:00:20.26
So the evening and the
morning were the second day.
00:00:34.44\00:00:36.60
Then God said, "Let the waters
00:00:41.45\00:00:43.12
under the heavens be
gather together into one place
00:00:43.13\00:00:46.29
and let the dry land appear,
00:00:46.30\00:00:47.99
let the earth green
forth grass and herb
00:00:52.94\00:00:57.84
and the fruit
tree that yields fruit
00:00:57.85\00:00:59.20
according to its kind."
00:00:59.21\00:01:02.88
So the evening and the
morning were the third day.
00:01:02.89\00:01:05.44
Then God made two great lights.
00:01:09.01\00:01:11.47
He made the stars also.
00:01:11.48\00:01:13.51
So the evening and the
morning were the fourth day.
00:01:13.52\00:01:16.10
Then God said, "Let the waters
00:01:21.51\00:01:22.87
abound with an
abundance of living creatures.
00:01:22.88\00:01:25.33
And let birds
fly above the earth
00:01:30.08\00:01:32.42
across the face of the
firmament of the heavens."
00:01:32.43\00:01:35.01
So the evening and the
morning were the fifth day.
00:01:38.63\00:01:40.98
Then God said, "Let the earth
00:01:45.49\00:01:46.80
bring forth living
creatures according to its kind,
00:01:46.81\00:01:49.63
cattle and creeping
thing and beast of the earth."
00:01:52.58\00:01:55.04
Then God said, "Let us make man
00:02:04.56\00:02:06.58
in our image
according to our likeness."
00:02:06.59\00:02:10.70
So the evening and the
morning were the sixth day.
00:02:10.71\00:02:13.47
And on the seventh
day, God ended His work
00:02:16.16\00:02:18.46
which he had done and
He rested the seventh day
00:02:18.47\00:02:20.79
from all his work
which He had done.
00:02:20.80\00:02:22.72
Then God blessed the
seventh day and sanctified it,
00:02:22.73\00:02:25.58
because in it He had
rested from all His work
00:02:25.59\00:02:27.79
which God created and made.
00:02:27.80\00:02:31.49
And indeed it was very good.
00:02:31.50\00:02:34.05
As we begin this
evening, let's begin with payer,
00:02:36.25\00:02:39.77
"Holy Father, again this evening
00:02:39.78\00:02:41.18
we commit this next hour to you
00:02:41.19\00:02:44.25
and we invite the Holy Spirit
that causes us to understand
00:02:44.26\00:02:48.95
anything spiritual
we present tonight.
00:02:48.96\00:02:51.83
To give us a hard understanding,
00:02:51.84\00:02:54.64
so teach us now
00:02:54.65\00:02:55.64
as our prayer
in his name, amen."
00:02:55.65\00:02:58.65
We come to the
sixth day of creation
00:03:00.48\00:03:03.69
and on the sixth
day the creator made
00:03:03.70\00:03:06.92
so many things
and so many things
00:03:06.93\00:03:09.86
seem to be happening on this day
00:03:09.87\00:03:12.36
that we're gonna
divided into three parts.
00:03:12.37\00:03:15.73
Tonight and two
times in the morning
00:03:15.74\00:03:18.38
and then we'll take up
00:03:18.39\00:03:19.38
the seventh day
tomorrow evening.
00:03:19.39\00:03:22.31
So have your Bibles
I invite you to turn
00:03:22.32\00:03:24.43
to Genesis first
Chapter, verse 24.
00:03:24.44\00:03:29.14
Then God said, "Let
the earth bring forth
00:03:29.15\00:03:34.46
the living creatures
according to its kinds,
00:03:34.47\00:03:38.34
cattle and creeping
things and beasts of the earth,
00:03:38.35\00:03:41.57
each according to
its kind," and it was so.
00:03:41.58\00:03:47.19
And God made the
beast of the earth
00:03:47.20\00:03:48.79
according to its kind,
cattle according to its kind,
00:03:48.80\00:03:52.73
and everything
that creeps on the earth
00:03:52.74\00:03:54.90
according to its kind.
And God saw that it was good.
00:03:54.91\00:04:00.18
That's the part we're
gonna take a look at tonight
00:04:02.04\00:04:04.19
and we'll continue
with the rest of day
00:04:04.20\00:04:06.68
sixth there in the morning.
00:04:06.69\00:04:09.18
And so God made these creatures
00:04:09.19\00:04:12.64
and God made the
cattle according to its kind.
00:04:12.65\00:04:15.09
Notice again the law
of generics as it work
00:04:15.10\00:04:18.68
and we noticed in
Genesis 2 verses 19 and 20.
00:04:18.69\00:04:22.30
"Out of the ground the Lord God
00:04:22.31\00:04:24.42
formed every beast of the field
00:04:24.43\00:04:26.82
and so Adam gave
names to all the cattle
00:04:26.83\00:04:30.65
and to all the creatures."
00:04:30.66\00:04:32.85
Here we discover the creator
00:04:32.86\00:04:34.60
is doing something a
little bit different.
00:04:34.61\00:04:36.81
In the creation story,
he did this with birds,
00:04:36.82\00:04:39.38
he formed them out of the
earth and now we find here
00:04:39.39\00:04:43.61
when it comes to creating
the animals of the sixth day,
00:04:43.62\00:04:47.39
both the domestic the
wild and the crawling things
00:04:47.40\00:04:50.33
that He formed them and
then they began to live.
00:04:50.34\00:04:57.85
And so let's take a
look, and the Bible says,
00:04:57.86\00:05:03.20
"And God saw that it was good."
00:05:03.21\00:05:08.54
What I like to suggest
for your thinking this evening
00:05:08.55\00:05:12.07
that when God
created the domestic cattle,
00:05:12.08\00:05:18.44
I would like to
suggest for your thinking
00:05:18.45\00:05:21.06
that the domestic cattle
have always been domestic.
00:05:21.07\00:05:28.05
They never were
wild, never have been wild,
00:05:28.06\00:05:30.86
that is a teaching of evolution.
00:05:30.87\00:05:33.55
But some of the
animals on our planet earth
00:05:33.56\00:05:36.45
have always been under
the care keeping of man.
00:05:36.46\00:05:39.73
I am just curious how many
of you ever dealt with sheep?
00:05:39.74\00:05:43.65
How many of you think
those sheep would last very long
00:05:43.66\00:05:46.46
if it wasn't for the shepherd?
00:05:46.47\00:05:49.79
Anybody's ever
dealt with sheep knows
00:05:49.80\00:05:51.38
that sheep do not live
long without a shepherd.
00:05:51.39\00:05:54.51
They need a caretaker
and according to scripture,
00:05:54.52\00:05:59.99
Able was a keeper of sheep,
00:06:00.00\00:06:02.31
Cain was a tiller of the ground,
00:06:02.32\00:06:03.73
Genesis 4 verse 2.
00:06:03.74\00:06:06.98
And so right in the Bible,
00:06:06.99\00:06:08.43
it tells us that Able
was the keeper of sheep
00:06:08.44\00:06:12.84
and that's right there
at the very Gates of Eden
00:06:12.85\00:06:17.01
if you please.
And it's very doubtful
00:06:17.02\00:06:18.96
that they would not live long
if it was not for the shepherd.
00:06:18.97\00:06:25.35
How many grew up on the farm?
00:06:25.36\00:06:27.46
I grew up on a farm
in Southern Michigan.
00:06:27.47\00:06:30.64
And you know there's
something about cows,
00:06:30.65\00:06:34.05
they are just one of
those gregarious creatures
00:06:34.06\00:06:37.09
I also think that
they've been around
00:06:37.10\00:06:39.05
with man ever
since the gates of Eden.
00:06:39.06\00:06:42.70
And God
specifically told Adam and Eve,
00:06:42.71\00:06:45.04
and He said, that
mankind have dominion over
00:06:45.05\00:06:51.95
and notice what
God specifically said,
00:06:51.96\00:06:54.21
"Over the fish of the
sea, over the birds of the air
00:06:54.22\00:06:58.94
and over the cattle and
over every creeping thing
00:06:58.95\00:07:03.46
that creeps on the earth."
00:07:03.47\00:07:05.00
According to Genesis 1 verse 26.
00:07:05.01\00:07:09.25
Notice that evolution
would have you to believe
00:07:09.26\00:07:12.77
that you are monkey's uncle,
they would have you to believe
00:07:12.78\00:07:14.90
that we're all kissing
cousins with the animals,
00:07:14.91\00:07:16.86
but that's not
what God's word says.
00:07:16.87\00:07:20.40
God's word says,
that man was to be
00:07:20.41\00:07:22.82
the care keeper
of all these animals
00:07:22.83\00:07:26.24
and that they were not the same.
00:07:26.25\00:07:28.04
What did God
make in His own image
00:07:28.05\00:07:29.57
in His own
likeness? He didn't make them
00:07:29.58\00:07:31.82
in the likeness of
animals as we shall see.
00:07:31.83\00:07:35.61
A father's
employment greatly influences
00:07:35.62\00:07:39.18
how the family is going
to live and what they know.
00:07:39.19\00:07:44.71
And we read there a
husbandry of creatures
00:07:44.72\00:07:47.76
has profoundly
written human history.
00:07:47.77\00:07:51.29
We read in Genesis 4:20 to 22,
00:07:51.30\00:07:54.68
"Jabal was the father of those
00:07:54.69\00:07:56.00
who dwell in tents
and have livestock."
00:07:56.01\00:07:58.76
And that would be assume
would be cattle and horses
00:07:58.77\00:08:01.91
and these domestic type animals.
00:08:01.92\00:08:04.21
"His brother's name was Jubal
00:08:04.22\00:08:05.70
and he was the
father of all those
00:08:05.71\00:08:07.34
who play the
harp and the flute."
00:08:07.35\00:08:09.72
So musicians have been around
00:08:09.73\00:08:11.12
ever since the Gates of Eden
00:08:11.13\00:08:14.13
and their half
brother Tubal-Cain,
00:08:14.14\00:08:16.21
was an instructor in
every kind of craftsmanship
00:08:16.22\00:08:19.63
in bronze and
iron." Genesis 4:20 to 22.
00:08:19.64\00:08:23.95
So the father's employment,
00:08:23.96\00:08:25.27
what he does to earn a
living profoundly effects
00:08:25.28\00:08:28.19
how the family is going to live
00:08:28.20\00:08:32.16
and there is something
about growing up on a farm,
00:08:32.17\00:08:38.12
away from the
fast food, fast living,
00:08:38.13\00:08:42.43
fast cars, fast women,
fast everything of the city,
00:08:42.44\00:08:46.07
when you live in a country
00:08:46.08\00:08:47.10
thing go just a
little bit slower
00:08:47.11\00:08:49.49
and its just a
little more congenial
00:08:49.50\00:08:53.01
to your blood
pressure and your heart rate
00:08:53.02\00:08:55.71
if you live outside
the gates of the big city.
00:08:55.72\00:08:59.20
Dairy farming
made a deep impression
00:08:59.21\00:09:01.09
on my three year old
mind, when my dad said,
00:09:01.10\00:09:05.74
"That heavy milk
came right on my big toe."
00:09:05.75\00:09:08.59
I still remember and I
was only three years old,
00:09:08.60\00:09:10.95
but I do remember
that event quite well.
00:09:10.96\00:09:14.63
I like to
suggest that dad's cows
00:09:14.64\00:09:17.61
taught me five virtues that
I really badly needed to learn.
00:09:17.62\00:09:24.85
And the first virtue
00:09:24.86\00:09:26.89
that cattle
thought me was Self-denial.
00:09:26.90\00:09:30.17
You know there's just
something self denying
00:09:30.18\00:09:32.45
about at 5 o'clock in the
morning when dad yells up,
00:09:32.46\00:09:36.07
"C'mon boy, it's the
time to milk the cow."
00:09:36.08\00:09:38.02
There something crucifying about
00:09:38.03\00:09:39.70
that when you want
to stay in a warm bed
00:09:39.71\00:09:41.79
and its cold and
its chill and its dark
00:09:41.80\00:09:45.06
and you just really
don't want to go out there
00:09:45.07\00:09:47.82
and deal with those
cows, but cows don't wait
00:09:47.83\00:09:52.63
and they don't like to
miss being milked or fed on time
00:09:52.64\00:09:57.24
and so I found that
very crucifying to me
00:09:57.25\00:10:00.69
especially when
it was 10 below zero.
00:10:00.70\00:10:04.77
It just seems like it
was a tough thing to do.
00:10:04.78\00:10:08.54
The second
virtue is Faithfulness.
00:10:08.55\00:10:12.14
Cows gave me an
opportunity to learn
00:10:12.15\00:10:15.19
and when our
family took a vacation,
00:10:15.20\00:10:17.77
my father stayed at home,
00:10:17.78\00:10:22.01
because the cows had to
be milked morning and night.
00:10:22.02\00:10:26.52
And as I observed
00:10:26.53\00:10:27.77
my dad's
faithfulness to these creatures,
00:10:27.78\00:10:31.75
it made a deep
impression on my mind.
00:10:31.76\00:10:34.98
And I read in my
Bible that God is faithful.
00:10:34.99\00:10:39.86
That's what the scripture says
00:10:39.87\00:10:42.02
and we discover
he's the same yesterday,
00:10:42.03\00:10:44.86
today and forever,
00:10:44.87\00:10:46.03
and that was what I
discovered about my dad.
00:10:46.04\00:10:48.57
He was always
there for the cattle
00:10:48.58\00:10:51.74
when they needed
him and that meant
00:10:51.75\00:10:54.61
he had to
sacrifice a lot of time
00:10:54.62\00:10:57.23
with the family
in order to do that.
00:10:57.24\00:10:59.68
The third godly
quality was Responsibility.
00:10:59.69\00:11:03.17
I believe that some
of the crisis facing
00:11:03.18\00:11:05.41
our society today
particularly of child abuse
00:11:05.42\00:11:08.19
that's going on is
because there are many children
00:11:08.20\00:11:10.83
that have grown up
00:11:10.84\00:11:11.83
and never had to
learn the responsibility
00:11:11.84\00:11:14.43
of caring for
anything other than themselves.
00:11:14.44\00:11:18.06
When you grow up on a farm,
you got to feed the chickens,
00:11:18.07\00:11:20.37
and the dogs, and the
cats, and feed the cows
00:11:20.38\00:11:24.60
and go get them
and bring them in
00:11:24.61\00:11:26.47
and milk them and
clean up after them.
00:11:26.48\00:11:28.51
You learn a responsibility
that I think that is often
00:11:28.52\00:11:34.33
missing to the dear children
00:11:34.34\00:11:36.24
that have to
grew up in the cities.
00:11:36.25\00:11:38.60
And probably you've
already guessed by now,
00:11:38.61\00:11:40.51
I am just the little bit biased
00:11:40.52\00:11:42.45
about where I think God
had planned for people to live.
00:11:42.46\00:11:47.15
And you know sheep,
00:11:47.16\00:11:48.65
I remember there was
one mother who said this,
00:11:48.66\00:11:52.66
"This little lamb here awakened
00:11:52.67\00:11:54.08
in my young daughter
all her motherly instincts
00:11:54.09\00:11:57.73
and as she cuddled
00:11:57.74\00:11:58.97
and cared for this
little woolly life,
00:11:58.98\00:12:01.09
these motherly
desires blossomed."
00:12:01.10\00:12:05.00
And I think there's
nothing that can prepare a child
00:12:05.01\00:12:08.74
for some of the
responsibilities of parenthood
00:12:08.75\00:12:11.23
like it is in taking
care of some of God's
00:12:11.24\00:12:14.31
friendly little creatures
and having responsibility
00:12:14.32\00:12:18.97
that goes with it.
00:12:18.98\00:12:20.66
Well the fourth
character quality was Attention.
00:12:20.67\00:12:27.53
I discovered that when you're
taking care of these animals,
00:12:27.54\00:12:30.34
you can't treat
them all the same way.
00:12:30.35\00:12:33.09
Horses don't eat the
same way that cows do,
00:12:33.10\00:12:36.95
and sheep and
goats don't either,
00:12:36.96\00:12:39.50
and neither
does the dog and cat,
00:12:39.51\00:12:40.99
and so you have to
learn how to pay attention
00:12:41.00\00:12:45.01
each after its own
kind that did not evolve,
00:12:45.02\00:12:48.25
that each have
their own temperaments
00:12:48.26\00:12:50.25
and are
controlled and reproduced
00:12:50.26\00:12:53.88
by absolute laws of genetics
generation after generation.
00:12:53.89\00:12:59.05
And God created these
animals male and female
00:12:59.06\00:13:03.04
to reproduce after their kind.
00:13:03.05\00:13:05.12
And I believe that
originally in the Garden of Eden
00:13:05.13\00:13:08.70
all these
creatures had their own mate.
00:13:08.71\00:13:10.66
We know that's true
00:13:10.67\00:13:11.66
at least when they
went onboard the Ark
00:13:11.67\00:13:14.09
there in Noah's day
00:13:14.10\00:13:16.56
and "You should take seven
of each of the clean animals,
00:13:16.57\00:13:19.89
a male and his female
00:13:19.90\00:13:21.08
and two of each
that are unclean,
00:13:21.09\00:13:22.80
the male and it
female." Genesis 7 verse 2.
00:13:22.81\00:13:26.85
And so we see that God
made a distinction in animals
00:13:26.86\00:13:29.86
and they are not all the same.
00:13:29.87\00:13:31.01
There are some that
God considered unclean
00:13:31.02\00:13:34.64
and you take
those in by a number,
00:13:34.65\00:13:36.52
and the clean you
take those in by sevens.
00:13:36.53\00:13:39.06
More of the
clean than the unclean
00:13:39.07\00:13:42.17
and when we take a look
00:13:42.18\00:13:43.29
at what they are
according to scriptures,
00:13:43.30\00:13:46.21
we can know why He wanted
00:13:46.22\00:13:48.16
more of the
clean than the unclean.
00:13:48.17\00:13:51.61
That leads us to the
fifth virtue and that's Love.
00:13:51.62\00:13:56.68
You know all these creatures
when you are around them
00:13:56.69\00:13:58.95
and you work with
them for very long,
00:13:58.96\00:14:00.87
you can discover that
they are indeed unique
00:14:00.88\00:14:06.63
and different and
they liked to be loved.
00:14:06.64\00:14:09.66
Let me ask you a question?
00:14:09.67\00:14:11.49
Those who have dogs,
00:14:11.50\00:14:13.01
you know dogs are probably
one of the very few animals
00:14:13.02\00:14:15.27
that makes his living totally
00:14:15.28\00:14:17.46
just receiving love, may though.
00:14:17.47\00:14:19.90
How many of you ever
tried to pet a dog too much?
00:14:19.91\00:14:22.73
Have you ever tried?
00:14:22.74\00:14:24.69
I don't care how
many times you pet them
00:14:24.70\00:14:26.84
when you get
down what does he do?
00:14:26.85\00:14:29.27
Sticks his nose back
00:14:29.28\00:14:30.27
and c'mon do that one more time.
00:14:30.28\00:14:31.78
There's just
something about dog,
00:14:31.79\00:14:33.81
he just loves to be loved.
00:14:33.82\00:14:37.15
And you know cats, they
are little bit different.
00:14:37.16\00:14:42.78
Cats are more aloof.
00:14:42.79\00:14:45.57
Anybody's ever dealt with
them, they like some petting
00:14:45.58\00:14:49.27
and they will do some
purring, but not like a dog
00:14:49.28\00:14:53.06
and yet cats are in
their own special way too
00:14:53.07\00:14:55.76
and they do
their own special thing
00:14:55.77\00:14:58.42
and they are fun too be around.
00:14:58.43\00:15:04.12
Well my boys, for seven years
00:15:04.13\00:15:07.14
we lived just outside
00:15:07.15\00:15:08.94
the Glacier
National Park in Montana.
00:15:08.95\00:15:12.76
And I have to admit
once you lived there,
00:15:12.77\00:15:14.55
every other place
after that is just,
00:15:14.56\00:15:16.33
you know, its sort of downhill
after that it seems like.
00:15:16.34\00:15:19.93
But that was just
the neatest place to live
00:15:19.94\00:15:21.71
and our boys, they
didn't get to grow up on a farm,
00:15:21.72\00:15:24.56
but there was this little fawn,
00:15:24.57\00:15:29.42
that we heard
crying out one morning.
00:15:29.43\00:15:31.57
And by the way a
deer can make a noise,
00:15:31.58\00:15:34.29
they can scream
just like a wild cat,
00:15:34.30\00:15:37.08
that's how we found this one,
his mother evidently had died,
00:15:37.09\00:15:40.62
and so my boys
got to raise this one.
00:15:40.63\00:15:42.58
And I tell you can
guess what his name was,
00:15:42.59\00:15:44.76
that's right it was Bambi.
00:15:44.77\00:15:46.40
And Bambi became the family pet.
00:15:46.41\00:15:49.66
Bambi went with
us wherever we went,
00:15:49.67\00:15:52.24
it know its name.
00:15:52.25\00:15:53.40
He would come when you call
00:15:53.41\00:15:55.06
and it could take a bowl of milk
00:15:55.07\00:15:56.96
so fast that it would
almost take the nipple off.
00:15:56.97\00:15:59.72
And by the way if
you're ever trying to do that,
00:15:59.73\00:16:01.92
lamb replacement is the
milk that deer thrive on,
00:16:01.93\00:16:05.22
don't try to feed him cow's milk
00:16:05.23\00:16:07.13
they will not live on that
at all but lamb replacement,
00:16:07.14\00:16:11.49
they thrive on it.
00:16:11.50\00:16:13.24
Have you ever wondered,
00:16:13.25\00:16:14.63
what it would have been like
to have a mind of an animal?
00:16:14.64\00:16:17.13
You ever thought about
that? You know, I grew up,
00:16:17.14\00:16:18.99
and if I has to
look into the eyes
00:16:19.00\00:16:20.49
of those big Guernsey
cows, the big brown eyes,
00:16:20.50\00:16:23.01
and he's now looking
at you and you wonder
00:16:23.02\00:16:24.39
what are they thinking you know,
00:16:24.40\00:16:25.91
what do they--
00:16:25.92\00:16:27.15
what are they trying
to tell me these animals?
00:16:27.16\00:16:29.79
And so what would it been
like to have an animal's mind?
00:16:29.80\00:16:33.24
Well, we don't
really have to guess
00:16:33.25\00:16:35.03
because scripture tells
there was a man in Daniel,
00:16:35.04\00:16:38.02
the fourth chapter.
00:16:38.03\00:16:39.28
He learned
something from the beast.
00:16:39.29\00:16:41.76
What would it be like
to have a mind transplant?
00:16:41.77\00:16:44.89
Daniel records the
experience of Nebuchadnezzar.
00:16:44.90\00:16:49.55
Nebuchadnezzar was very
proud of what he had done
00:16:49.56\00:16:54.24
and God told him that
if he didn't straighten up,
00:16:54.25\00:16:59.64
he will become an animal
00:16:59.65\00:17:00.83
and that's
exactly what happened.
00:17:00.84\00:17:02.93
"And he let him graze
00:17:02.94\00:17:04.50
with the beasts on
the grass of the earth.
00:17:04.51\00:17:06.17
Let his heart be
changed from that of a man,
00:17:06.18\00:17:09.18
and let him be given
the heart of a beast."
00:17:09.19\00:17:12.39
Daniel 4:15 and
16. Why did he do this?
00:17:12.40\00:17:17.71
Well Nebuchadnezzar
lived that way for seven years.
00:17:17.72\00:17:20.53
That's seems
like that's an awfully
00:17:20.54\00:17:21.75
long time to me to
have the mind of an animal.
00:17:21.76\00:17:26.20
What did Nebuchadnezzar
00:17:26.21\00:17:28.00
learned from having the mind
of an animal for seven years?
00:17:28.01\00:17:32.74
We don't have to guess
00:17:32.75\00:17:34.38
because in the Book of Daniel,
Chapter 4 verses 34 and 37,
00:17:34.39\00:17:38.46
this is what he says,
"And at the end of that time
00:17:38.47\00:17:41.40
I, Nebuchadnezzar,
lifted my eyes to heaven
00:17:41.41\00:17:43.99
and noticed my
understanding returned to me."
00:17:44.00\00:17:47.61
Evidently animals
don't have understanding.
00:17:47.62\00:17:50.08
"But it returned to me
and I blessed the Most High
00:17:50.09\00:17:52.86
and I praised and
honored Him who lives forever,
00:17:52.87\00:17:55.26
for His dominion is
an everlasting dominion
00:17:55.27\00:17:57.82
and His Kingdom is from
generation to generation.
00:17:57.83\00:18:00.61
Now, I, Nebuchadnezzar,
00:18:00.62\00:18:02.83
praise and extol and
honor the King of heaven,
00:18:02.84\00:18:05.97
all of whose works are
truth, and His ways justice.
00:18:05.98\00:18:09.71
And those who walk in
pride, He is able to put down."
00:18:09.72\00:18:15.80
When we think of these
animals and the way they live,
00:18:18.66\00:18:23.91
the atonement plan were
set up, the Gates of Eden
00:18:23.92\00:18:28.20
and of all the animals that
God chose to represent himself,
00:18:28.21\00:18:32.67
what did He chose?
00:18:32.68\00:18:34.61
A lamb, not a lion,
not a tiger, not some--
00:18:34.62\00:18:39.21
it was a lamb, a
lamb of all things.
00:18:39.22\00:18:44.12
And that's why
John the Baptist said,
00:18:44.13\00:18:45.84
"Behold, of
what? The Lamb of God,
00:18:45.85\00:18:49.42
who takes away the
sins of the world."
00:18:49.43\00:18:53.36
God said that he saw
00:18:53.37\00:18:54.66
that it was good
for man to live there.
00:18:54.67\00:18:58.61
Domestic cattle are
part of the animal kingdom
00:18:58.62\00:19:02.26
and there are
more than one million
00:19:02.27\00:19:05.77
known classified species
in the animal kingdom today
00:19:05.78\00:19:09.55
and while I just estimated
00:19:09.56\00:19:11.14
there's probably
10 million species,
00:19:11.15\00:19:13.79
most of which have
not been classified
00:19:13.80\00:19:16.44
and they range in size
from the microscopic creatures
00:19:16.45\00:19:19.56
to the 100 foot blue whale.
00:19:19.57\00:19:24.50
And what does God
says about these creatures?
00:19:24.51\00:19:27.72
"For every beast
of the forest is Mine,
00:19:27.73\00:19:30.43
the cattle on a thousand hills.
00:19:30.44\00:19:32.39
I know all the
birds of the mountains
00:19:32.40\00:19:34.21
and the wild beasts
of the field are Mine."
00:19:34.22\00:19:36.07
Psalm 50:10 and verse 11.
00:19:36.08\00:19:39.95
Cattle learn much from man
and men learn much from cattle.
00:19:39.96\00:19:47.41
I learned in the farm that
the cattle learned their name,
00:19:47.42\00:19:49.83
they knew which
stanchion to stand in
00:19:49.84\00:19:52.68
and they could call.
And God says you know,
00:19:52.69\00:19:55.36
"The ox knows its owner
and the donkey its master,
00:19:55.37\00:19:59.52
but Israel does not know Me,
and My people do not consider."
00:19:59.53\00:20:04.14
I like you to believe that
00:20:04.15\00:20:05.73
from the past total
history of human history,
00:20:05.74\00:20:09.05
nine tenths of the population
have always been farmers,
00:20:09.06\00:20:12.97
care takers of cattle
created on the sixth day.
00:20:12.98\00:20:17.19
Today one half of the world's
00:20:17.20\00:20:19.32
some six billion
people are still farmers.
00:20:19.33\00:20:24.09
In 1900 the average
U.S. farms was 160 acres
00:20:24.10\00:20:27.99
and were self sufficient.
00:20:28.00\00:20:30.05
From 1950 to 1980
the U.S. farm output
00:20:30.06\00:20:33.22
doubled while the
numbers on the farm
00:20:33.23\00:20:36.13
fell through one half
00:20:36.14\00:20:38.16
and today the
people on U.S farms
00:20:38.17\00:20:41.03
have dropped from 23
million to a mere 6 million.
00:20:41.04\00:20:45.51
Has population shifted
from the country to the city?
00:20:45.52\00:20:51.61
And indeed they have.
00:20:51.62\00:20:53.65
And above the din
and roar of the cities,
00:20:53.66\00:20:57.34
I believe that God has a message
00:20:57.35\00:21:00.31
for the people
living on planet earth,
00:21:00.32\00:21:03.14
"Fear God and give glory to Him,
00:21:03.15\00:21:06.98
for the hour of
His judgment has come
00:21:06.99\00:21:10.55
and there is a
call to worship Him,
00:21:10.56\00:21:13.71
worship Him who made
heaven and earth, the sea
00:21:13.72\00:21:17.48
and the springs of waters."
00:21:17.49\00:21:20.01
And when you are out in nature,
00:21:20.02\00:21:22.05
your better nature just gets
arouse out there on the farm,
00:21:22.06\00:21:28.51
Revelation 14:6 to 7.
00:21:28.52\00:21:33.26
Now I want to shift gears,
00:21:33.27\00:21:35.14
that wasn't all that
God created on that day.
00:21:35.15\00:21:39.92
He also created,
00:21:39.93\00:21:41.66
what we know are
the beasts of the field
00:21:41.67\00:21:44.40
is the way the
Bible talks about it.
00:21:44.41\00:21:47.92
And I want to
spend a little time
00:21:47.93\00:21:50.50
with them this evening as well.
00:21:50.51\00:21:54.70
And you know, man has been
00:21:54.71\00:21:55.71
experimenting
with these animals,
00:21:55.72\00:21:58.19
the wild animals
we think of them,
00:21:58.20\00:22:01.10
the beast of the
field when He created them.
00:22:01.11\00:22:06.38
This first picture
I want you to notice
00:22:06.39\00:22:08.97
is what they call a
Liger, it's a huge creature,
00:22:08.98\00:22:13.83
it's been sort of
genetically engineered.
00:22:13.84\00:22:17.04
It's a cross
between a lion and a tiger.
00:22:17.05\00:22:19.82
Its huge, it's quite gentle,
00:22:19.83\00:22:23.12
you can see they're feeding
it with a bottle of milk,
00:22:23.13\00:22:27.42
huge creature and very gentle.
00:22:27.43\00:22:30.97
I like to suggest
this business the way
00:22:30.98\00:22:33.18
we breed animals today
00:22:33.19\00:22:35.63
are we're getting
very close to doing,
00:22:35.64\00:22:37.35
I think what they
did in the days of Noah
00:22:37.36\00:22:39.74
and we are
about to pay the piper
00:22:39.75\00:22:42.13
I think for what we
call genetic engineering,
00:22:42.14\00:22:45.88
but we'll see more
about that little bit later.
00:22:45.89\00:22:48.07
Tonight I like you
to consider with me,
00:22:48.08\00:22:52.03
this beast of the earth.
00:22:52.04\00:22:55.32
Behold the "Best of the fields"
00:22:55.33\00:22:58.23
is mentioned 10
times in scriptures.
00:22:58.24\00:23:01.01
I like to suggest
that animals hear and feel,
00:23:01.02\00:23:06.87
I almost think they think.
00:23:06.88\00:23:09.01
Some people would debate that.
00:23:09.02\00:23:10.73
I let you decide
that after you hear
00:23:10.74\00:23:12.26
some of the stories
that we're gonna think about.
00:23:12.27\00:23:14.79
I like you to consider
it for a moment tigers,
00:23:14.80\00:23:18.15
they're my favorite animals
00:23:18.16\00:23:19.96
and I just some day
when things are like
00:23:19.97\00:23:24.10
they were in
Genesis, that will be my pet,
00:23:24.11\00:23:27.22
I am looking forward to that.
00:23:27.23\00:23:29.12
I watched the guys playing
with tiger at the big zoo
00:23:29.13\00:23:32.85
there in San
Francisco and they were romping
00:23:32.86\00:23:36.57
with these tigers in
the water and splashing
00:23:36.58\00:23:39.47
and have the best
time and I thought
00:23:39.48\00:23:41.42
you know that's the
way it was in Genesis,
00:23:41.43\00:23:45.43
when they worked together.
00:23:45.44\00:23:49.50
A. R. Rumford
tells of a tiger cub
00:23:49.51\00:23:52.25
who receives kind treatment
from a sailor onboard a ship
00:23:52.26\00:23:57.59
and years later as that sailor
00:23:57.60\00:24:00.34
was walking by the tiger's cage,
00:24:00.35\00:24:03.72
all the sudden this
tiger let out a big roar
00:24:03.73\00:24:07.92
and what it did the
sailor turned around
00:24:07.93\00:24:09.98
and looked through
the bars and he said,
00:24:09.99\00:24:13.87
"Billy, is that you old charm?"
00:24:13.88\00:24:15.54
and he reach his
hands to the bars
00:24:15.55\00:24:17.14
and gave the
tiger a pet on the head
00:24:17.15\00:24:21.38
and the keeper there at the zoo
00:24:21.39\00:24:23.80
just about panic for this tiger
00:24:23.81\00:24:25.86
was not know to be friendly
00:24:25.87\00:24:27.19
to anybody and the sailor said,
00:24:27.20\00:24:30.01
"Who's in charge
of the zoo anyway?
00:24:30.02\00:24:31.58
This is my old sailing mate
00:24:31.59\00:24:33.38
and we want to
remember some old times"
00:24:33.39\00:24:36.31
and so the zookeeper
wasn't sure and he said,
00:24:36.32\00:24:39.50
"No, let me in there."
00:24:39.51\00:24:40.69
And so they opened the door
00:24:40.70\00:24:42.03
and the sailor slipped
in and the tiger rushed over
00:24:42.04\00:24:44.83
and he began to
sing the sailing songs
00:24:44.84\00:24:48.01
that he used to sing in the ship
00:24:48.02\00:24:50.02
and as he began to
keep time with his foot,
00:24:50.03\00:24:52.66
the tiger kept time with his paw
00:24:52.67\00:24:55.44
and his tail and
just seem to enjoy
00:24:55.45\00:24:58.84
that and the whole audience
was just there are amazed,
00:24:58.85\00:25:02.13
watching this
man and this tiger,
00:25:02.14\00:25:04.09
put his arm out and
the tiger would jump over,
00:25:04.10\00:25:06.38
then jump back
and you could tell
00:25:06.39\00:25:08.80
that tiger
remembered the man who have been
00:25:08.81\00:25:13.12
so kind to him onboard
that ship many-many years ago.
00:25:13.13\00:25:17.17
Well he went to leave the
tiger didn't want him to leave
00:25:17.18\00:25:20.23
and so it just to be a problem
00:25:20.24\00:25:22.06
because he had
to get to the ship
00:25:22.07\00:25:24.10
and so finally
the zoo keeper threw
00:25:24.11\00:25:25.46
a big chunk of meat at one end
and the tiger went over there
00:25:25.47\00:25:27.89
and the sailor was
able to slip out again.
00:25:27.90\00:25:30.88
And you know,
it was Jim Corbett,
00:25:30.89\00:25:35.97
who was the author of
the Man-Eaters of Kumaon
00:25:35.98\00:25:39.59
and it was his
opinion that tigers
00:25:39.60\00:25:42.30
unless molested
will do him no harm
00:25:42.31\00:25:46.52
and when he checked out
all the man eating tigers,
00:25:46.53\00:25:49.93
ever single one of them
00:25:49.94\00:25:51.61
was because they've been wounded
00:25:51.62\00:25:54.60
or in fact he said,
"I've not seen a case
00:25:54.61\00:25:57.25
where a tiger has
been deliberately cruel
00:25:57.26\00:25:59.72
or where it is blood thirsty
or killed without provocation."
00:25:59.73\00:26:03.99
That was Jim Corbett,
00:26:04.00\00:26:04.99
if you want to
read a fascinating book,
00:26:05.00\00:26:06.54
just read Man-Eaters of Kumaon
00:26:06.55\00:26:08.88
but don't read it before
you go to sleep at night,
00:26:08.89\00:26:11.17
it's quite a book to read.
00:26:11.18\00:26:15.44
Well, let consider
lions for a moment.
00:26:15.45\00:26:19.04
Lions, you know, he's
called king of the beast.
00:26:19.05\00:26:21.96
I want to tell
you a little story
00:26:21.97\00:26:24.27
and this is taken from a
book entitled "Little Tyke".
00:26:24.28\00:26:28.71
Margaret and Georges
Westbeau, Auburn in Washington
00:26:28.72\00:26:33.05
raised a lioness by
the name of Little Tyke.
00:26:33.06\00:26:37.37
What made this lioness unique
00:26:37.38\00:26:39.82
was that it was
rescued from its mother
00:26:39.83\00:26:42.81
and she refused to
eat meat of any kind.
00:26:42.82\00:26:47.71
Just a drop or two of
blood in the bottle of milk
00:26:47.72\00:26:50.33
and the lion will
refuse to drink it.
00:26:50.34\00:26:53.46
She was a total
vegetarian and here you see Tyke
00:26:53.47\00:26:59.39
and his lamb both
drinking bottles of milk.
00:26:59.40\00:27:04.21
This is Little
Tyke with Imp, the cat
00:27:04.22\00:27:07.27
and they were
the best of friends
00:27:07.28\00:27:09.55
and this Little Tyke,
she just loved animals
00:27:09.56\00:27:13.23
and she chewed on rubber boots
00:27:13.24\00:27:15.32
to keep her teeth in place
00:27:15.33\00:27:17.75
and she just loved other animals
00:27:17.76\00:27:21.89
and they would play together
00:27:21.90\00:27:23.09
and during an
earthquake one time
00:27:23.10\00:27:24.69
she jump right into the arm
00:27:24.70\00:27:25.95
of Westbeau and Georges said,
00:27:25.96\00:27:28.23
it was at this
time I finally realized
00:27:28.24\00:27:30.24
where there is no
fear, there is no savagery.
00:27:30.25\00:27:34.76
And man was to "have dominion
over the fish of the sea,
00:27:34.77\00:27:37.26
and over every living
thing that moves on the earth."
00:27:37.27\00:27:40.22
According to Genesis 1 verse 28.
00:27:40.23\00:27:43.55
In the film Born Free,
Joy Adamson raised Elsa
00:27:43.56\00:27:49.30
and if you want
to see a neat film.
00:27:49.31\00:27:50.86
If you've never seen Born Free,
00:27:50.87\00:27:52.60
you overt to
yourself to watch it.
00:27:52.61\00:27:55.09
An incredible story as
they raised Elsa in captivity
00:27:55.10\00:28:01.21
and then took it back out
on to the wild and released it.
00:28:01.22\00:28:05.78
And this is what a C. R. Pitman,
00:28:05.79\00:28:10.44
former game
warden of Uganda wrote.
00:28:10.45\00:28:13.16
"Despite manifestation of
her late inherence savagery,
00:28:13.17\00:28:17.53
Elsa never lost and I
believe never will lose
00:28:17.54\00:28:21.41
that perfect trust in
confidence in her human parents
00:28:21.42\00:28:25.40
whom she regards
with a peculiar devotion,
00:28:25.41\00:28:29.20
a devotion which
she never would have
00:28:29.21\00:28:31.48
recorded even her own kind."
00:28:31.49\00:28:35.18
Because in the movie it shows
00:28:35.19\00:28:36.62
that she went back years later
00:28:36.63\00:28:38.78
and again Elsa
came right over to her
00:28:38.79\00:28:40.86
just like a tamed
kitten and it never lost
00:28:40.87\00:28:45.25
that love that it had for them.
00:28:45.26\00:28:48.73
And so in a remote wilderness
00:28:48.74\00:28:51.58
of Mt. Robinson
in Western Canada,
00:28:51.59\00:28:56.12
Robert F. Leslie met a
bear that he named "Bosco"
00:28:56.13\00:29:01.82
and you will find that
story in the Reader's Digest
00:29:01.83\00:29:04.49
"Animals you will never forget"
00:29:04.50\00:29:06.75
and some of the
stories I am telling tonight
00:29:06.76\00:29:08.34
come from that
source and it entitled
00:29:08.35\00:29:11.47
"The bear that
came in for supper."
00:29:11.48\00:29:13.71
Leslie was out there
fishing on a fishing trip
00:29:13.72\00:29:16.80
and it was dark
and it was raining
00:29:16.81\00:29:19.47
and he was in his lean-
00:29:19.48\00:29:20.62
to and out of the
darkness of the night came Bosco
00:29:20.63\00:29:23.64
and it came in and it
set his 500 pounds weight
00:29:23.65\00:29:26.65
right in there
beside him in the lean-to.
00:29:26.66\00:29:30.15
And he thought, "Oh, welcome.
00:29:30.16\00:29:34.00
Nice to have you with me."
00:29:34.01\00:29:35.53
And anyway they
took up a relationship,
00:29:35.54\00:29:39.48
this bear and this man
00:29:39.49\00:29:41.51
and it lasted for
about 10 or 15 days.
00:29:41.52\00:29:44.26
And when he would go fishing,
00:29:44.27\00:29:45.32
he would catch the fish,
00:29:45.33\00:29:46.88
and then he would throw
at him Bosco will grab it
00:29:46.89\00:29:50.18
and gulp it down with one gulp,
00:29:50.19\00:29:52.33
so he spend most of
his time feeding Bosco
00:29:52.34\00:29:55.02
and forgot about
catching fish for himself.
00:29:55.03\00:29:57.58
But he said as he fellowshipped
there with that bear,
00:29:57.59\00:30:03.26
he said it was interesting
00:30:03.27\00:30:05.25
that one of their
ways of communication
00:30:05.26\00:30:09.53
around the
campfire was they look
00:30:09.54\00:30:12.30
each other in
the eye and he said,
00:30:12.31\00:30:14.74
you know, when
you look into a bears
00:30:14.75\00:30:17.01
big brown yellow eyes.
00:30:17.02\00:30:20.24
He said at first
it was terrifying,
00:30:20.25\00:30:22.53
but then he said
after a while it got to be
00:30:22.54\00:30:24.21
a very meaningful conversation.
00:30:24.22\00:30:25.62
I don't know
what he was thinking,
00:30:25.63\00:30:27.72
I know what I was thinking
00:30:27.73\00:30:29.50
and he said we
got along very famous.
00:30:29.51\00:30:33.00
Well one night the bear came in
00:30:33.01\00:30:36.21
and pushed its rump
right over in his face,
00:30:36.22\00:30:39.38
he zipped and saying,
00:30:39.39\00:30:40.38
there he saw two embedded
ticks in the tail of this bear
00:30:40.39\00:30:46.49
and so he thought,
00:30:46.50\00:30:47.49
okay so he took
out his hunting knife
00:30:47.50\00:30:49.36
and he thought, I'll
get a mauling for this
00:30:49.37\00:30:52.52
but the bear just seem bewaring
00:30:52.53\00:30:54.57
and just took his
knife and quick flip he took
00:30:54.58\00:30:58.63
one tick out of
that red inflamed tissue
00:30:58.64\00:31:01.21
and when he did the bear
00:31:01.22\00:31:02.21
let out a roar that
shook the whole forest.
00:31:02.22\00:31:05.26
But he came back
and pushed his rump
00:31:05.27\00:31:08.49
back in his face again,
there is that other tick
00:31:08.50\00:31:10.75
and he flipped it
out and again the bear
00:31:10.76\00:31:12.65
let out another roar
that shook the forest.
00:31:12.66\00:31:15.80
Then he turned
around and licked his hand.
00:31:15.81\00:31:19.44
Do you think that animals think?
00:31:19.45\00:31:23.10
They certainly have
feelings that much is for sure.
00:31:23.11\00:31:28.14
Enos A. Mills, was the
man who tells us in his book,
00:31:28.15\00:31:34.47
he lived in a
Colorado Rockies alone
00:31:34.48\00:31:36.80
and unarmed and I
think he discovered
00:31:36.81\00:31:39.58
some of the Genesis piece
that the creator had in mind
00:31:39.59\00:31:43.34
when he created the beasts
of the field on the sixth day.
00:31:43.35\00:31:49.11
I myself had walked in
Glacier Park for a whole day
00:31:49.12\00:31:55.01
and I've seen
bear feces all around
00:31:55.02\00:31:57.61
and I knew they were there
00:31:57.62\00:31:58.61
but I never saw one
because I made a lot of noise.
00:31:58.62\00:32:00.83
I want to make
sure these bears knew
00:32:00.84\00:32:02.65
that I was in their bedroom
00:32:02.66\00:32:03.79
and I didn't want to surprise
them or make them nervous,
00:32:03.80\00:32:07.40
because I was there.
00:32:07.41\00:32:10.24
Enos A. Mills,
authored 12 fascinating books.
00:32:10.25\00:32:13.18
Just look up in
any used books store,
00:32:13.19\00:32:16.03
they're out of
print, most of them.
00:32:16.04\00:32:17.36
He was a naturalist
of the Colorado Rockies
00:32:17.37\00:32:20.54
and in the prepress
of his book entitled,
00:32:20.55\00:32:23.18
"Watched by Wild
Animals" he writes,
00:32:23.19\00:32:25.82
"Animals use
instincts and reason
00:32:25.83\00:32:28.70
and also have
curiosity, the desire to know.
00:32:28.71\00:32:31.80
Many of them more
wide-awake species
00:32:31.81\00:32:33.90
do not run panic stricken
00:32:33.91\00:32:35.71
from the sight
or the scent of man.
00:32:35.72\00:32:37.74
And when it is safe,
notice, when it is safe,
00:32:37.75\00:32:40.52
they linger to watch him.
00:32:40.53\00:32:42.69
They also go forth seeking him.
00:32:42.70\00:32:44.98
Their keen scent detects
him from as far and stealthily,
00:32:44.99\00:32:49.09
sometimes for hours,
stalk, follow and watch man."
00:32:49.10\00:32:54.54
In his book,
entitled "On Wildlife Trails"
00:32:54.55\00:32:59.49
he tells of sitting
on a game trail for days
00:32:59.50\00:33:06.02
and his question was, do
animals have trail rights?
00:33:06.03\00:33:12.13
In another words if
one animal is coming down
00:33:12.14\00:33:14.13
the trail then
there's another animal
00:33:14.14\00:33:16.54
that is coming up the
trail do these animals
00:33:16.55\00:33:19.70
have trail rights?
Well he was watching
00:33:19.71\00:33:24.56
and he sat there on
this-- above the game trail
00:33:24.57\00:33:27.05
and watched it for
about 10 or 15 days
00:33:27.06\00:33:29.84
and during that time
00:33:29.85\00:33:30.94
he observed some
fascinating things.
00:33:30.95\00:33:33.07
One morning he watched
and here was this grizzly bear
00:33:33.08\00:33:35.65
and he was just
coming down on the trail
00:33:35.66\00:33:37.68
and he was just going along
looking neither to the right,
00:33:37.69\00:33:41.22
and to the left and
then he noticed coming up
00:33:41.23\00:33:43.04
the trail was a
cougar, a mountain lion
00:33:43.05\00:33:47.27
and he thought, oh,
this will be interesting,
00:33:47.28\00:33:49.82
I wonder what's going to happen.
00:33:49.83\00:33:51.55
Well they got
about 30 yards apart,
00:33:51.56\00:33:53.98
the cougar stop,
looked down the trail,
00:33:53.99\00:33:56.94
arched its back,
hissed and spit and groan
00:33:56.95\00:34:00.90
and created a big
ruckus but he got off the trail
00:34:00.91\00:34:05.14
and he made about a 30
yard ue around the trail
00:34:05.15\00:34:08.95
as the grizzly bear,
he's just going along
00:34:08.96\00:34:10.91
and he never even
looked to the right,
00:34:10.92\00:34:12.78
or to the left, just
started running down the trail
00:34:12.79\00:34:15.65
and then when
the cougar got around
00:34:15.66\00:34:18.07
and made the ue and
got back in the trail,
00:34:18.08\00:34:20.06
the cougar looked over
his shoulder still hissing
00:34:20.07\00:34:22.96
and spitting and groaning,
00:34:22.97\00:34:24.27
got back on the trail
and went up the trail,
00:34:24.28\00:34:27.10
were there trail rights?
00:34:27.11\00:34:30.01
Yes there were.
00:34:30.02\00:34:31.03
Well it was a different
day when the grizzly bear,
00:34:31.04\00:34:33.21
he was going down
the trail as usual,
00:34:33.22\00:34:35.24
just having a good
time when coming up
00:34:35.25\00:34:38.31
the trail was a skunk,
a black and white stinker
00:34:38.32\00:34:43.86
and he thought, oh
this will be interesting
00:34:43.87\00:34:45.85
and sure enough when
they got about 3 yards apart,
00:34:45.86\00:34:48.89
the grizzly bear stopped
and he looked down the trail
00:34:48.90\00:34:54.83
and the grizzly
bear got off the trail,
00:34:54.84\00:34:59.21
about 10 yards or so.
00:34:59.22\00:35:01.95
And sit down in his
hunches and he sat there
00:35:01.96\00:35:04.92
and watch as this slow
moving black and white stinker
00:35:04.93\00:35:08.26
just went on by the trail
00:35:08.27\00:35:11.07
and as it got on by
and just as it got level
00:35:11.08\00:35:15.20
with the grizzly bear,
00:35:15.21\00:35:16.20
he couldn't help
to play the clown
00:35:16.21\00:35:18.07
and the grizzly
bear did a summersault
00:35:18.08\00:35:19.66
and roll right up to
the edge of the trail
00:35:19.67\00:35:22.80
and he watched the skunk go by.
00:35:22.81\00:35:25.63
And when the skunk got
by then the grizzly bear
00:35:25.64\00:35:28.18
got back on the trail
and he went down the way.
00:35:28.19\00:35:32.14
You know dear
people, I wonder if we have
00:35:32.15\00:35:33.85
as much smarts as a bear.
00:35:33.86\00:35:37.82
You know when you
see a stinker coming
00:35:37.83\00:35:39.33
you know do we have a
sense of get out of the way.
00:35:39.34\00:35:43.09
Well it was a different day
00:35:43.10\00:35:44.51
when he saw a skunk
coming down the trail
00:35:44.52\00:35:48.01
and a porcupine
coming up the trail
00:35:48.02\00:35:50.44
and he thought, oh
this will be interesting
00:35:50.45\00:35:52.85
because neither
one is overly smart
00:35:52.86\00:35:55.34
and sure enough they
banged right into each other
00:35:55.35\00:35:59.24
and there was some hissing
00:35:59.25\00:36:00.84
and some spitting
and some sputtering
00:36:00.85\00:36:02.73
and then the quilt got placed
00:36:02.74\00:36:04.58
then there was
very strong perfume
00:36:04.59\00:36:07.75
and there was
more scuffing around
00:36:07.76\00:36:09.63
and then finally they
both went on the same direction
00:36:09.64\00:36:13.74
and they never learned a thing.
00:36:13.75\00:36:15.09
He watched as the
goats came up the trail,
00:36:18.18\00:36:22.64
14 of them and one
coming up and 13 coming down
00:36:22.65\00:36:27.16
and they rub noses
and spent time together
00:36:27.17\00:36:29.52
there as they
lingered back and forth
00:36:29.53\00:36:35.15
and must they had a
wedding because he said,
00:36:35.16\00:36:37.44
when they went down the trail
00:36:37.45\00:36:39.38
it was a different
number than when they went up
00:36:39.39\00:36:41.24
and so he must had a
wedding or something took place
00:36:41.25\00:36:45.04
and they went on up the trail.
00:36:45.05\00:36:49.09
"Animals can almost be human"
talks about the elephants.
00:36:49.10\00:36:53.35
They are largest
of the land animals.
00:36:53.36\00:36:56.59
There are two species,
the African and the Indian.
00:36:56.60\00:36:58.96
African is the largest
and can stand 11 and half feet
00:36:58.97\00:37:02.34
high and weight up to six tons
00:37:02.35\00:37:04.83
and these animals are wild,
00:37:04.84\00:37:06.23
they make their
home in the jungle
00:37:06.24\00:37:07.75
but they can tamed.
00:37:07.76\00:37:09.64
And he wrote, I loved elephants,
00:37:09.65\00:37:12.36
elephants probably
have a kinder feeling
00:37:12.37\00:37:14.34
for other animals
than to any other beast.
00:37:14.35\00:37:17.19
There are many-many
stories of elephants
00:37:17.20\00:37:19.25
taking up
friendships with dogs or cats
00:37:19.26\00:37:22.79
and they become
the best of friends
00:37:22.80\00:37:25.42
and they become
almost inseparable.
00:37:25.43\00:37:28.92
"Elephant Bill"
Col. J. H. Williams says
00:37:28.93\00:37:33.97
that elephant does
not work mechanically,
00:37:33.98\00:37:37.00
he never stops learning
because he's always thinking
00:37:37.01\00:37:41.58
and he said the ways
of the jungle are strange
00:37:41.59\00:37:45.16
but all is not
savage, hard and cruel in it.
00:37:45.17\00:37:49.22
Every savage elephant
00:37:49.23\00:37:50.75
that attacks or kills its rider,
00:37:50.76\00:37:52.85
there are 99 that
are docile and friendly.
00:37:52.86\00:37:56.10
And he sums it up in this way,
00:37:56.11\00:37:57.88
I find it hard to realize
00:37:57.89\00:37:59.34
after living for
25 years in the jungle
00:37:59.35\00:38:02.14
with the most
magnificent of all animals.
00:38:02.15\00:38:04.63
After the first
three and half years
00:38:04.64\00:38:06.58
my eyes were blinded by the
thrill of big game shooting.
00:38:06.59\00:38:10.77
I now feel that the
elephants are God's own
00:38:10.78\00:38:13.90
and I would never
shoot another one.
00:38:13.91\00:38:16.53
But the question is, why
do elephants have big ears?
00:38:16.54\00:38:20.70
Have you ever
wondered about that?
00:38:20.71\00:38:22.83
Kathryn Payne, 1984
tells a fascinating story
00:38:22.84\00:38:27.00
that she was in
the Washington Park zoo
00:38:27.01\00:38:30.10
with those animals.
00:38:30.11\00:38:32.75
She felt a strange
vibration in the elephant room,
00:38:32.76\00:38:36.41
just a faint
vibration, didn't hear
00:38:36.42\00:38:38.37
anything just felt
this little vibration.
00:38:38.38\00:38:40.60
And then she thought about it,
00:38:40.61\00:38:41.60
she thought you
know this vibration
00:38:41.61\00:38:44.47
that I am feeling is
quite similar to the feeling
00:38:44.48\00:38:48.23
that I had when I sang in
the church choir in New York
00:38:48.24\00:38:51.85
and she stood right beside
00:38:51.86\00:38:53.40
the big base spikes of the organ
00:38:53.41\00:38:55.75
and when they hit
those big bass notes
00:38:55.76\00:38:57.82
she got the same
kind of a quivery feeling
00:38:57.83\00:39:00.50
that she had in
the elephant house
00:39:00.51\00:39:03.58
and she thought I wonder,
00:39:03.59\00:39:06.65
could elephants be
talking to each other
00:39:06.66\00:39:09.79
at a frequency lower
than what we can hear.
00:39:09.80\00:39:13.58
And so she took
some instruments in there
00:39:13.59\00:39:17.17
and she did some measurements
00:39:17.18\00:39:18.58
and sure enough
those elephants were using
00:39:18.59\00:39:23.89
what she coined as
Infra-Sound, 30 Hertz and lower.
00:39:23.90\00:39:30.17
And she discovered
that they do indeed
00:39:30.18\00:39:35.92
talk to each other
by these base sounds
00:39:35.93\00:39:39.04
and you may have noticed,
00:39:39.05\00:39:40.04
you heard these boom
box cars as I call them,
00:39:40.05\00:39:42.36
you can hear then a mile
away coming down the road.
00:39:42.37\00:39:45.14
And I can only imagine
00:39:45.15\00:39:46.14
how deaf the
people must be in them,
00:39:46.15\00:39:48.58
that are listening at
that level of noise or sound
00:39:48.59\00:39:55.44
but here's the
point, she discover,
00:39:55.45\00:39:58.56
she went over to
Africa, did more testing
00:39:58.57\00:40:00.12
and she
discovered these elephants
00:40:00.13\00:40:01.87
can talk to each
other five miles or more
00:40:01.88\00:40:05.36
through the
forest using infra sound
00:40:05.37\00:40:08.69
and that's why
they have the big ears,
00:40:08.70\00:40:12.86
because those big ears
00:40:12.87\00:40:14.06
enable them to pick
up the sound frequencies.
00:40:14.07\00:40:20.70
Well you know the Bible
talks about in Isaiah 65:17,
00:40:20.71\00:40:24.11
"I create new
heavens and a new earth.
00:40:24.12\00:40:28.05
The wolf and the
lamb will feed together,
00:40:28.06\00:40:30.26
and the lion shall
eat straw like the ox
00:40:30.27\00:40:33.04
and they shall
not hurt or destroy
00:40:33.05\00:40:35.36
in all My holy
mountain," says the Lord.
00:40:35.37\00:40:41.63
Its gonna happen,
00:40:41.64\00:40:43.43
God's gonna create a new heavens
00:40:43.44\00:40:44.95
and a new earth
and the world is gonna
00:40:44.96\00:40:47.06
go back like it was originally.
00:40:47.07\00:40:49.56
Well, I want to talk
about one more creature
00:40:49.57\00:40:52.34
that God
created on the sixth day
00:40:52.35\00:40:55.04
and that's the creeping thing,
00:40:55.05\00:40:56.25
you're looking at the
bacterium of the Nitrogen cycle
00:40:56.26\00:41:01.08
and here's the point I
want you to keep in mind.
00:41:01.09\00:41:03.60
God uses humble, lowly things.
00:41:03.61\00:41:06.17
In fact notice
what scriptures says,
00:41:06.18\00:41:08.44
" God has chosen the
weak things of this world
00:41:08.45\00:41:10.71
to put to shame the
things which are mighty."
00:41:10.72\00:41:14.78
And here is the point.
00:41:14.79\00:41:15.78
This bacterium of
the nitrogen cycle
00:41:15.79\00:41:19.71
and here it is dividing.
00:41:19.72\00:41:22.63
This little
creature is absolutely
00:41:22.64\00:41:25.18
essential to your life.
00:41:25.19\00:41:27.46
Notice carefully
out of all the animals
00:41:27.47\00:41:29.52
that we looked at
created on the sixth day so far,
00:41:29.53\00:41:32.45
we can live without
the domestic animals
00:41:32.46\00:41:34.35
and we can live
without the wild animals,
00:41:34.36\00:41:38.59
but mankind cannot live
without the creeping things,
00:41:38.60\00:41:43.68
because it's
these creeping things
00:41:43.69\00:41:46.09
that are absolutely vital
for the survival of mankind.
00:41:46.10\00:41:49.77
This creature
that you're looking at,
00:41:49.78\00:41:51.54
part of the nitrogen cycle.
00:41:51.55\00:41:53.60
This creature breaks
down the inorganic material
00:41:53.61\00:41:56.79
that's in the soil to
where plants can utilize it
00:41:56.80\00:42:01.51
and if they ever
quit or go on strike
00:42:01.52\00:42:03.41
because they are not appreciated
00:42:03.42\00:42:04.77
or paid enough,
it's a dead world,
00:42:04.78\00:42:09.07
because plants
can't live without them
00:42:09.08\00:42:10.97
and that's another proof
you know interdependency.
00:42:10.98\00:42:14.98
When God created this world,
00:42:14.99\00:42:16.33
He put it all
together rather quickly
00:42:16.34\00:42:17.93
because green plants
wouldn't have lived long
00:42:17.94\00:42:20.25
without the crawling things,
00:42:20.26\00:42:21.99
because they are the
ones that are essential
00:42:22.00\00:42:25.01
and vital to our being
able to stay alive and live.
00:42:25.02\00:42:31.08
Well, now there's other microbes
00:42:31.09\00:42:33.49
and I just want you to notice
00:42:33.50\00:42:35.75
that a single
bacterium is potentially
00:42:35.76\00:42:38.85
capable of producing
00:42:38.86\00:42:40.02
another 16 million
copies of itself a day
00:42:40.03\00:42:44.39
and its thought that about
00:42:44.40\00:42:45.56
only one tenth of
the world's bacteria
00:42:45.57\00:42:49.93
has ever been identified.
00:42:49.94\00:42:51.39
90% of them are still unknown.
00:42:51.40\00:42:53.82
We only know what
to call them much less
00:42:53.83\00:42:56.22
what they do in
the cycle of life.
00:42:56.23\00:43:00.60
And so these viruses
00:43:00.61\00:43:02.09
they've been found
in lakes and rivers,
00:43:02.10\00:43:03.95
5 and 10 million
per milliliter of water
00:43:03.96\00:43:07.93
and in most sites tested.
00:43:07.94\00:43:10.23
They are there,
you don't see them
00:43:10.24\00:43:12.16
but they are
doing their little thing
00:43:12.17\00:43:14.22
to make life possible.
00:43:14.23\00:43:17.21
And you know when we think
00:43:17.22\00:43:18.21
of this complexity
of design, God says,
00:43:18.22\00:43:21.07
"For my thoughts
are not your thoughts,
00:43:21.08\00:43:22.90
nor your ways, my
ways," says the Lord.
00:43:22.91\00:43:25.29
"As the heavens are
higher than the earth,
00:43:25.30\00:43:26.85
so are my ways
higher than your ways
00:43:26.86\00:43:29.43
and my thoughts
than your thoughts."
00:43:29.44\00:43:30.93
Isaiah 55:8 and 9.
00:43:30.94\00:43:33.82
Well, the largest
00:43:35.90\00:43:36.90
and most diverse group
of animals is invertebrates,
00:43:36.91\00:43:39.78
that means they have no backbone
00:43:39.79\00:43:42.89
and that's about
1.8 million species,
00:43:42.90\00:43:47.08
did you get that number.
00:43:47.09\00:43:48.46
That's about 90% of all
animals belong to this group
00:43:48.47\00:43:52.10
and of course this is our
little friend the lady bug.
00:43:52.11\00:43:56.90
They are growing those now,
00:43:56.91\00:43:58.14
just to put them in your garden
00:43:58.15\00:43:59.21
because they work better
than pesticides of keeping up
00:43:59.22\00:44:02.81
where they're
controlling the Aphids
00:44:02.82\00:44:05.46
that are grow there.
00:44:05.47\00:44:06.90
And then we have the Arthropods
00:44:08.59\00:44:11.61
and invertebrates with
joined appendages there,
00:44:11.62\00:44:13.72
three quarter of all species.
00:44:13.73\00:44:16.29
Spiders, 30,000 identified.
00:44:16.30\00:44:21.17
Estimated 20,000
are still unknown.
00:44:21.18\00:44:25.78
In fact W.S. Bristow
00:44:25.79\00:44:29.55
did a census on a
grassy acre in England
00:44:29.56\00:44:32.17
and he found
2,265,000 spiders per acre.
00:44:32.18\00:44:38.08
Many of them are so
small you can't even see them,
00:44:38.09\00:44:40.91
they are doing
their own little thing.
00:44:40.92\00:44:43.72
And then there are ants.
00:44:43.73\00:44:45.23
Oh, we got to
talk about the ants,
00:44:45.24\00:44:46.39
I just can't leave them.
00:44:46.40\00:44:48.14
One day Doctor John Baldwin
00:44:48.15\00:44:50.35
and his wife were out on a walk
00:44:50.36\00:44:53.91
and as they were out
on this walk they came
00:44:53.92\00:44:55.46
where the antlion
have build its trap
00:44:55.47\00:44:58.23
and the antlion it's a circle
that comes down to a point,
00:44:58.24\00:45:01.12
the antlion sits down there
00:45:01.13\00:45:02.38
and he waits for the
curious ant to come along,
00:45:02.39\00:45:04.58
he gets down in there
00:45:04.59\00:45:05.73
but when he turns around
to go back out its so steep,
00:45:05.74\00:45:08.66
and the sides are
so slippery coated
00:45:08.67\00:45:10.83
with his pottery dust,
00:45:10.84\00:45:12.47
its like trying to run
on a grease ball bearing.
00:45:12.48\00:45:15.12
And antlion will blew a fountain
00:45:15.13\00:45:16.42
of dust up in the air
00:45:16.43\00:45:17.42
and he watch the
little ant down the bottom
00:45:17.43\00:45:19.28
and he eats him.
00:45:19.29\00:45:20.87
Well this person
on his walk with them
00:45:20.88\00:45:22.52
said that's too much to believe,
00:45:22.53\00:45:24.10
I just can't
believe that any creature
00:45:24.11\00:45:26.56
could be that smart
to trick another one.
00:45:26.57\00:45:28.94
And Doctor Baldwin
said, well just a minute,
00:45:28.95\00:45:30.65
let me show you
and so he reach here
00:45:30.66\00:45:32.10
and he found a little ant
00:45:32.11\00:45:33.22
and dropped in there
right in the ant lion's trap.
00:45:33.23\00:45:36.98
Well as soon as
the little ant landed
00:45:36.99\00:45:38.62
there he began to
scurry and try to get out
00:45:38.63\00:45:41.07
and antlion is
blowing the dust up in the air
00:45:41.08\00:45:43.50
and slowly but
surely that little ant
00:45:43.51\00:45:46.43
was being washed
down to his doom.
00:45:46.44\00:45:48.51
Doctor Baldwin said he
felt sorry for the ant,
00:45:48.52\00:45:53.28
when suddenly there
came running a bigger ant,
00:45:53.29\00:45:56.02
that bigger ant ran right
up to the edge of that trap,
00:45:56.03\00:45:58.50
hooked his feet on some pebbles,
00:45:58.51\00:46:00.16
stretched down in
to the pit of death,
00:46:00.17\00:46:02.08
grab that little
ant, pulled him out
00:46:02.09\00:46:04.32
and they both went running off.
00:46:04.33\00:46:06.24
He said wow, did you see that,
00:46:06.25\00:46:08.98
that's interesting
that raises some question.
00:46:08.99\00:46:10.80
How did the big ant know
the little ant was in trouble,
00:46:10.81\00:46:13.17
did he dialed ant
911, didn't hear anything
00:46:13.18\00:46:16.74
but here's the bigger question?
00:46:16.75\00:46:19.48
Where did the
bigger ant find the courage
00:46:19.49\00:46:22.40
and the bravery
and the self denial
00:46:22.41\00:46:25.52
at the risk of
his life to reach down
00:46:25.53\00:46:28.69
in the pit of death
to pull up little ant out
00:46:28.70\00:46:30.92
and the little ant is not even
00:46:30.93\00:46:32.18
the same species as the big one.
00:46:32.19\00:46:34.42
Where did he get that?
00:46:34.43\00:46:35.82
Hear me carefully
00:46:35.83\00:46:37.25
that's not Darwin's theory
of the survival of the fittest.
00:46:37.26\00:46:41.45
Dear people that is
the principal of the cross,
00:46:41.46\00:46:46.51
the law of self
denial. And dear people,
00:46:46.52\00:46:49.55
if God can put that into
the heart of a little ant,
00:46:49.56\00:46:54.15
do you think he can create
that in your heart or mine?
00:46:54.16\00:46:58.34
Well, we can
talk about mosquitoes
00:46:58.35\00:46:59.85
you know, well,
there's one thing
00:46:59.86\00:47:00.86
you can see about
mosquito, ant, bugs and ticks
00:47:00.87\00:47:04.39
and so forth, in
spite of man's technology
00:47:04.40\00:47:08.02
and all his wisdom,
they still outwit us.
00:47:08.03\00:47:12.27
And in spite of all our skills
00:47:12.28\00:47:13.88
we've not learned
how to control them.
00:47:13.89\00:47:16.41
They still outwit us.
00:47:16.42\00:47:19.09
One last story
before I draw my conclusion.
00:47:19.10\00:47:23.00
A farmer had a herd of cows
00:47:23.01\00:47:25.66
and they were good friends.
00:47:25.67\00:47:27.75
Every cow knew its name
and they dwell together,
00:47:27.76\00:47:31.47
they worked together and
one day his old bull died
00:47:31.48\00:47:37.39
and he bought a new bull
and put it into the herd.
00:47:37.40\00:47:43.08
And so he went out there
00:47:43.09\00:47:44.08
in his quad one day
to check out the cattle
00:47:44.09\00:47:47.27
and see how they are doing
00:47:47.28\00:47:48.30
and as he did that he
got to talking to this cow
00:47:48.31\00:47:52.33
and call him by
name and that cow
00:47:52.34\00:47:53.97
and he go off his
quad and walked over
00:47:53.98\00:47:56.23
and was scratching its
ears and they were the best--
00:47:56.24\00:47:59.54
he forgot about the new bull.
00:47:59.55\00:48:01.26
And he didn't
realize that bull came up
00:48:05.21\00:48:06.84
by and just powered
into him and knocked him flat
00:48:06.85\00:48:10.53
and that bull
came over for the kill,
00:48:10.54\00:48:14.12
but all the cows made a
circle around the farmer
00:48:14.13\00:48:19.45
and they wouldn't let
the bull get at the farmer.
00:48:19.46\00:48:22.90
But the bull was in
rage and he snored and roared
00:48:22.91\00:48:25.13
and he went around the herd,
00:48:25.14\00:48:26.59
he crashed into those cows
00:48:26.60\00:48:28.39
again and again in
fact he hit one cow
00:48:28.40\00:48:31.61
so hard that he
killed it and the other cows
00:48:31.62\00:48:34.90
but they stood their ground,
00:48:34.91\00:48:36.02
they would not let
that bull at the farmer
00:48:36.03\00:48:38.32
and finally he
came to his senses
00:48:38.33\00:48:41.07
and he began to
crawl towards the fence
00:48:41.08\00:48:42.95
and as he trod
towards the fence,
00:48:42.96\00:48:45.37
the cows just
moved along with him,
00:48:45.38\00:48:47.43
keeping that
shield of protection away
00:48:47.44\00:48:50.06
from bull till
they got to the fence
00:48:50.07\00:48:51.97
and he could crawl to safety.
00:48:51.98\00:48:55.01
Where did they get that?
00:48:55.02\00:48:56.97
To lay down their life
00:48:56.98\00:48:59.18
for species not
even of their own kind.
00:48:59.19\00:49:04.65
I want to draw a conclusion
to this message tonight.
00:49:04.66\00:49:07.81
It was my privilege
to live with my family
00:49:21.41\00:49:24.63
for seven years
00:49:28.27\00:49:29.39
at the edge of
beautiful Glacier National Park,
00:49:37.52\00:49:42.57
it borders Canada.
00:49:42.58\00:49:44.26
And when I used to pinch myself-
00:49:59.91\00:50:02.50
I was then gonna say just think,
00:50:02.51\00:50:04.38
I get to live here
00:50:04.39\00:50:05.38
and other people
have to pay money
00:50:05.39\00:50:06.61
to come here for vacation,
and I got to live there
00:50:06.62\00:50:10.20
and take in all that beauty,
00:50:10.21\00:50:14.62
that was there at Glacier Park
00:50:14.63\00:50:19.55
and to go for an afternoon walk
00:50:19.56\00:50:23.77
out there in those
00:50:23.78\00:50:26.62
beautiful snow capped mountains.
00:50:29.28\00:50:32.29
Now, there is
something about the plains,
00:50:43.50\00:50:45.37
to smell that air
was so invigorating.
00:50:48.91\00:50:53.69
And to be around all those--
00:51:07.22\00:51:09.29
lovely creatures.
00:51:14.30\00:51:15.59
And at that time,
00:51:22.13\00:51:23.43
it was fun to watch the eagles
00:51:30.17\00:51:35.82
as they would soar.
00:51:35.83\00:51:37.41
There're other animals
00:51:43.55\00:51:44.85
and of course in the evening
00:51:48.47\00:51:51.18
you could hear the jackal
00:51:53.68\00:51:55.43
as it would
00:52:01.52\00:52:02.86
sing its song
00:52:05.18\00:52:10.93
but the wolves return,
00:52:10.94\00:52:14.57
while we were there
and began to recover.
00:52:17.71\00:52:21.81
And the wolf,
00:52:28.11\00:52:30.96
if you've ever
heard a wolf howl,
00:52:30.97\00:52:32.72
it's a sound of the
wilderness that is so haunting.
00:52:37.01\00:52:42.66
As he begins to howl,
00:52:45.14\00:52:47.64
it's a sound that
you will never forget,
00:52:47.65\00:52:52.06
it's a moan, it's a howl, it's--
00:52:56.80\00:52:58.98
it's a sound of the wilderness
00:53:02.29\00:53:07.17
and as it makes its cry,
00:53:07.18\00:53:08.70
it's almost as if
the wolf is crying out
00:53:13.64\00:53:16.26
particularly when
the moon is there.
00:53:16.27\00:53:20.22
It's almost as if
that wolf is crying out
00:53:25.97\00:53:28.75
almost in pain,
it's a howl and moan.
00:53:33.11\00:53:37.79
It's almost as if the
wolf is crying out and saying,
00:53:40.31\00:53:44.49
I don't want to live this
way, I don't want to kill,
00:53:44.50\00:53:48.71
it's a howl, it's a moan
as it gives out that cry.
00:53:48.72\00:53:53.21
And it's almost as if--
00:53:53.22\00:53:54.65
its saying I like to go back,
00:53:57.78\00:54:01.54
it's almost as if
the wolf is saying,
00:54:06.22\00:54:08.17
I remember in my
genetics there is a time
00:54:12.45\00:54:19.61
when they did not hurt nor
kill in all God's holy mountain.
00:54:22.46\00:54:27.78
Its almost as if
the wolf is saying,
00:54:29.08\00:54:31.11
I want to go back,
00:54:35.43\00:54:38.01
I want to go back to Genesis.
00:54:38.02\00:54:41.16
And my Bible tells me that,
that day is going to happen
00:54:41.17\00:54:48.54
when the wolf and the lamb
00:54:48.55\00:54:51.25
can lie down
together and eat straw.
00:54:51.26\00:54:55.38
And Eden will again be restored.
00:54:58.59\00:55:02.44
And so on the sixth day,
00:55:02.45\00:55:05.84
the Creator
created these creatures.
00:55:05.85\00:55:09.90
And as we hear
the howl of the wolf,
00:55:12.28\00:55:16.68
I think it's a cry to
want to go back to the world
00:55:16.69\00:55:22.01
that once knew when
it didn't have to kill,
00:55:22.02\00:55:25.13
didn't have to hurt
00:55:25.14\00:55:26.22
and destroy in
all My holy mountain.
00:55:26.23\00:55:29.37
Let's pray, Holy Father
00:55:32.17\00:55:36.10
as we've spend few minutes
00:55:36.11\00:55:37.77
at the close of the sixth day,
00:55:40.41\00:55:43.04
pondering the
domestic cattle, wild animals,
00:55:43.05\00:55:47.31
the crawling creatures that
You created on the sixth day.
00:55:47.32\00:55:51.10
And we know that we're living
in a hurting world tonight.
00:55:51.11\00:55:54.39
There is a predator
and there is the prey.
00:55:54.40\00:55:58.28
But Lord creation
wants to go back to Bible,
00:55:58.29\00:56:01.33
very clear it says all creation
00:56:01.34\00:56:03.45
groans to be
delivered to restore back
00:56:03.46\00:56:07.74
and I be long for that day
creating our heart of hearts,
00:56:07.75\00:56:12.40
a love to care
for, the creatures
00:56:12.41\00:56:16.30
that you put into
our hands to care for
00:56:16.31\00:56:19.19
and to look
after on that sixth day
00:56:19.20\00:56:22.30
as our prayer tonight
00:56:22.31\00:56:23.30
because we ask you
in your holy name, amen.
00:56:23.31\00:56:27.32
