In the beginning,
00:00:01.64\00:00:03.85
the earth was
without form and void.
00:00:03.86\00:00:07.85
Then God said,
"Let there be light."
00:00:07.86\00:00:11.66
And there was light.
00:00:11.67\00:00:14.54
And God divided the
light from the darkness.
00:00:14.55\00:00:17.45
So the evening and the
morning were the first day.
00:00:17.46\00:00:20.76
So the evening and the
morning were the second day.
00:00:34.40\00:00:37.39
Then God said, "Let the
waters under the heavens
00:00:41.57\00:00:44.01
be gathered
together into one place
00:00:44.02\00:00:46.20
and let the dry land appear.
00:00:46.21\00:00:48.58
Let the earth bring
forth grass and herb
00:00:52.91\00:00:57.53
and the fruit tree that yields
fruit according to its kind."
00:00:57.54\00:01:02.67
So the evening and the
morning were the third day.
00:01:02.68\00:01:08.90
Then God made two great lights.
00:01:08.91\00:01:11.44
He made the stars also.
00:01:11.45\00:01:13.54
So the evening and the
morning were the fourth day.
00:01:13.55\00:01:16.80
Then God said,
"Let the waters abound
00:01:21.47\00:01:23.24
with an abundance
of living creatures.
00:01:23.25\00:01:25.69
And let birds
fly above the earth
00:01:29.89\00:01:32.40
across the face of the
firmament of the heavens."
00:01:32.41\00:01:35.52
So the evening and the
morning were the fifth day.
00:01:38.62\00:01:41.75
Then God said,
"Let the earth bring
00:01:45.34\00:01:47.07
forth living
creatures according to its kind,
00:01:47.08\00:01:50.91
cattle and creeping
things and beast of the earth."
00:01:52.63\00:01:55.70
Then God said, "Let us make man
00:02:04.64\00:02:06.53
in our image
according to our likeness."
00:02:06.54\00:02:10.66
So the evening and the
morning were the sixth day.
00:02:10.67\00:02:16.11
And on the seventh day,
00:02:16.12\00:02:17.22
God ended His
work which He had done
00:02:17.23\00:02:19.35
and He rested the seventh day
00:02:19.36\00:02:20.82
from all His work
which He had done.
00:02:20.83\00:02:22.72
Then God blessed the
seventh day and sanctified it,
00:02:22.73\00:02:25.37
because in it He had
rested from all His work
00:02:25.38\00:02:27.83
which God had created and made.
00:02:27.84\00:02:31.31
And indeed it was very good.
00:02:31.32\00:02:36.50
Again it's a real
pleasure to welcome
00:02:36.51\00:02:38.62
each of you back
again to the final evening
00:02:38.63\00:02:43.12
of this creation week seminar,
00:02:43.13\00:02:45.71
Origins, The First Week in Time.
00:02:45.72\00:02:48.20
Holy Father, we
thank you for the freedom
00:02:48.21\00:02:51.02
that has allowed us to study
the very first week in time.
00:02:51.03\00:02:55.15
And now as we
come to this last day,
00:02:55.16\00:02:58.08
we again invite the same
Holy Spirit active in creation
00:02:58.09\00:03:02.25
to create in our
minds, in our hearts tonight
00:03:02.26\00:03:08.14
the spiritual
understanding of this subject.
00:03:08.15\00:03:12.84
So speak your word
into existence tonight
00:03:12.85\00:03:15.25
into our hearts as our prayer
00:03:15.26\00:03:17.24
because we ask it in
Jesus holy name, amen."
00:03:17.25\00:03:22.07
I thought you
might be interested
00:03:22.08\00:03:23.43
in this picture in
the Century magazine,
00:03:23.44\00:03:28.90
May of 1891 and what you're
looking at is visible sound.
00:03:28.91\00:03:35.57
As we have discovered this week,
00:03:35.58\00:03:38.19
when God speaks
that's not hot air,
00:03:38.20\00:03:41.45
that's creative energy
00:03:41.46\00:03:43.62
and sound waves
created most of the world
00:03:43.63\00:03:48.05
as we've looked at it this week.
00:03:48.06\00:03:51.26
But these pictures
00:03:51.27\00:03:52.29
were made by--they
put a elastic membrane
00:03:52.30\00:03:56.19
over a mouth piece
00:03:56.20\00:03:59.21
and then they sang with powder,
00:03:59.22\00:04:02.24
damp powder or damp
sand on that membrane
00:04:02.25\00:04:06.45
and as they would sing, these
images vibrated into existence
00:04:06.46\00:04:12.69
just from the result of singing
00:04:12.70\00:04:16.22
into this elastic membrane
vibrating the powder and dust
00:04:16.23\00:04:21.20
and so these are
literally visible sound.
00:04:21.21\00:04:25.96
Just another interesting
way of looking at sound waves.
00:04:25.97\00:04:30.57
This evening I would like to
00:04:30.58\00:04:33.95
walk you through
the Creation Story.
00:04:33.96\00:04:37.53
Just want to review
in our minds tonight
00:04:37.54\00:04:40.11
what we've been looking
at each night this week.
00:04:40.12\00:04:45.27
In the beginning, God created
the heavens and the earth.
00:04:45.28\00:04:49.41
And earth was
without form and void,
00:04:49.42\00:04:52.66
and darkness was
upon the face of the deep.
00:04:52.67\00:04:56.00
And the Spirit of God
was hovering over the waters.
00:04:56.01\00:05:01.40
And Then God said,
"Let there be light"
00:05:01.41\00:05:05.00
and there was light.
00:05:05.01\00:05:07.64
And God saw the
light, that it was good.
00:05:07.65\00:05:10.66
And God divided the
light from darkness.
00:05:10.67\00:05:14.27
And God called the light day,
00:05:14.28\00:05:16.64
and the
darkness He called night.
00:05:16.65\00:05:20.26
So the evening and the
morning was the first day.
00:05:20.27\00:05:25.38
And then God said,
00:05:25.39\00:05:27.19
"Let there be a firmament
in the midst of the waters,
00:05:27.20\00:05:29.80
and let it divide the
waters from the waters."
00:05:29.81\00:05:32.88
And thus God made the firmament,
00:05:32.89\00:05:36.04
and divided the waters
which were under the firmament
00:05:36.05\00:05:40.18
from the waters which
were above the firmament.
00:05:40.19\00:05:43.60
And it was so.
00:05:43.61\00:05:45.98
And God called
the firmament Heaven.
00:05:45.99\00:05:48.71
So the evening and the
morning was the second day.
00:05:48.72\00:05:53.34
And then God
said, "Let the waters
00:05:55.04\00:05:58.61
under the heavens
be gathered together
00:05:58.62\00:06:01.77
into one place and
let dry land appear"
00:06:01.78\00:06:05.97
and it was so.
00:06:05.98\00:06:08.16
And God called
the dry land Earth,
00:06:08.17\00:06:11.31
and the gathering
together waters, He called seas.
00:06:11.32\00:06:15.45
And God saw that it was good.
00:06:15.46\00:06:18.87
And then God said,
00:06:18.88\00:06:20.95
"Let the earth bring forth grass
00:06:20.96\00:06:23.71
and the herb that yields seed,"
00:06:23.72\00:06:26.39
"and fruit trees
that yields fruit
00:06:26.40\00:06:28.95
according to its kind,
00:06:28.96\00:06:30.73
whose seed is in
itself, on the earth";
00:06:30.74\00:06:33.92
and it was so.
00:06:33.93\00:06:36.11
And the earth
brought forth grass,
00:06:36.12\00:06:38.82
and the herb that yields
seed according to its kind,
00:06:38.83\00:06:42.40
and the tree that yields
fruit according to its kind
00:06:42.41\00:06:45.73
whose seed is in itself.
00:06:45.74\00:06:47.90
And God saw that it was good.
00:06:47.91\00:06:51.03
So the evening and the
morning was the third day.
00:06:51.04\00:06:56.08
And then God said,
"Let there be lights
00:06:56.09\00:06:58.85
in the firmament of the heavens
00:06:58.86\00:07:01.33
to divide the day from night
00:07:01.34\00:07:04.88
and let them be for
signs and for seasons,
00:07:04.89\00:07:08.11
and for days and years,
00:07:08.12\00:07:10.11
and let them be for
lights in the heavens
00:07:10.12\00:07:13.23
to give light on the
earth." and it was so.
00:07:13.24\00:07:18.17
Then God made two great lights,
00:07:18.18\00:07:21.18
the greater
light to rule the day,
00:07:21.19\00:07:23.38
and the lesser
light to rule the night.
00:07:23.39\00:07:26.81
And He made the stars also.
00:07:26.82\00:07:29.74
And He set them in the
firmament of the heavens
00:07:29.75\00:07:32.75
to give light on the earth,
00:07:32.76\00:07:34.90
and to rule over the
day and over the night,
00:07:34.91\00:07:36.97
and to divide the
light from the darkness.
00:07:36.98\00:07:39.33
And God saw that it was good.
00:07:39.34\00:07:41.82
And so the evening and the
morning was the fourth day.
00:07:41.83\00:07:47.88
And then God said,
"Let the waters abound
00:07:47.89\00:07:51.38
with an abundance
of living creatures
00:07:51.39\00:07:55.47
and let birds fly
above the firmament
00:07:55.48\00:07:58.91
across the face of the heavens."
00:07:58.92\00:08:01.60
And so God created
great sea creatures
00:08:01.61\00:08:04.67
and every living thing
that moves in the waters,
00:08:04.68\00:08:07.82
which abounded
according to its kind,
00:08:07.83\00:08:10.77
and every winged bird
according to its kind.
00:08:10.78\00:08:14.37
And God saw that it was good.
00:08:14.38\00:08:17.37
And God blessed them, saying,
"Be fruitful and multiply,
00:08:17.38\00:08:22.04
and fill the waters in the seas,
00:08:22.05\00:08:24.67
and let the birds
multiply in the earth."
00:08:24.68\00:08:27.45
And so the evening and
the morning was the fifth day.
00:08:27.46\00:08:31.91
And then God said,
"Let the earth bring forth
00:08:31.92\00:08:35.43
living creature
according to its kind,
00:08:35.44\00:08:39.14
cattle and creeping
things, and beasts of the earth,
00:08:39.15\00:08:43.03
each according to its
own kind" and it was so.
00:08:43.04\00:08:46.61
And God made the
cattle according to its kind,
00:08:46.62\00:08:50.35
and the beast
according to its kind,
00:08:50.36\00:08:53.48
and everything that
creeps and crawls on the earth,
00:08:53.49\00:08:55.94
according to its kind.
And God saw that it was good.
00:08:55.95\00:09:00.56
And then God said, "Let
us make man in our image
00:09:00.57\00:09:05.17
according to our likeness,
00:09:05.18\00:09:07.04
let them have dominion
over the fish of the sea,
00:09:07.05\00:09:09.14
and over the birds of the air,
00:09:09.15\00:09:10.38
and over the
cattle, and over the earth,
00:09:10.39\00:09:12.84
and every creeping thing
that creeps on the earth."
00:09:12.85\00:09:15.53
And so God created
man in His own image,
00:09:15.54\00:09:19.26
and He created
them male and female.
00:09:19.27\00:09:21.79
And God blessed them,
00:09:21.80\00:09:22.85
and said, "Be
fruitful and multiply,
00:09:22.86\00:09:26.42
fill the earth and subdue it,
00:09:26.43\00:09:28.11
and have dominion
over the fish of the sea,
00:09:28.12\00:09:30.63
and over the birds of the air,
00:09:30.64\00:09:31.76
and over every living
thing that moves on the earth."
00:09:31.77\00:09:34.52
And it was so.
00:09:34.53\00:09:37.72
And God said, "See, I
have given you every herb
00:09:37.73\00:09:41.23
that yields seed which is
on the face of all the earth,
00:09:41.24\00:09:44.59
and every tree
whose fruit yields seed,
00:09:44.60\00:09:47.36
to you it shall be for food.
00:09:47.37\00:09:50.59
And to every beast of the earth,
00:09:50.60\00:09:52.25
and to every bird of the air,
00:09:52.26\00:09:53.61
and to everything that creeps
00:09:53.62\00:09:55.17
in and on the
earth that has life,
00:09:55.18\00:09:57.06
I have given every green
herb for food" and it was so.
00:09:57.07\00:10:01.62
And God saw
everything that He had made,
00:10:01.63\00:10:03.75
and indeed it was very good.
00:10:03.76\00:10:06.41
And the evening and the
morning was the sixth day.
00:10:06.42\00:10:10.42
Thus the heavens and the earth,
00:10:10.43\00:10:12.65
and all the host of
them, were finished.
00:10:12.66\00:10:17.07
And on the seventh day
00:10:17.08\00:10:19.23
God ended His
work which He had done,
00:10:19.24\00:10:22.49
and He rested on the seventh day
00:10:22.50\00:10:24.79
from all His work
which He had done.
00:10:24.80\00:10:27.23
Then God blessed the
seventh day and sanctified it,
00:10:27.24\00:10:31.59
because in it He
rested from all His work
00:10:31.60\00:10:34.85
which He had created and made.
00:10:34.86\00:10:37.28
This is the history
of the heavens and earth
00:10:37.29\00:10:39.74
when they were created,
in the day that the Lord God
00:10:39.75\00:10:43.30
made the heavens and the earth.
00:10:43.31\00:10:47.31
Worship Him.
00:10:47.32\00:10:50.60
"Worship Him who made
heaven and earth, the sea
00:10:50.61\00:10:54.16
and the fountains of water."
00:10:54.17\00:10:56.77
Worship Him.
00:10:56.78\00:11:00.73
In those brief
words we have the story
00:11:00.74\00:11:04.20
of what God created
in the first week of time
00:11:04.21\00:11:09.15
and this evening we
come to the seventh day.
00:11:09.16\00:11:12.30
And on the seventh day
00:11:12.31\00:11:14.77
God created a sanctuary in time.
00:11:14.78\00:11:18.99
On the seventh day, God
had one more thing to create
00:11:19.00\00:11:24.70
and the creation story
00:11:24.71\00:11:25.84
was not completed
in six days, but seven.
00:11:25.85\00:11:29.79
And on the seventh day
00:11:29.80\00:11:31.70
God created
time, 24 hours of it.
00:11:31.71\00:11:37.10
It was God's
concluding creations.
00:11:37.11\00:11:41.24
They have no substance.
They are key to health.
00:11:41.25\00:11:45.63
A key to joy. A key
to life's relationships.
00:11:45.64\00:11:52.92
Time, simply
time, 24 hours of it.
00:11:52.93\00:11:59.81
And thus the
heavens and the earth,
00:11:59.82\00:12:02.15
and all the host of
them, were finished, we read.
00:12:02.16\00:12:05.28
And on the seventh day
00:12:05.29\00:12:06.76
God ended His
work which He had done,
00:12:06.77\00:12:10.96
and He rested on the seventh day
00:12:10.97\00:12:14.07
from all His work
which He had done.
00:12:14.08\00:12:16.48
Then we noticed three
things He did on this day.
00:12:16.49\00:12:20.55
One, He rested, number
Two, He blessed the seventh day.
00:12:20.56\00:12:26.18
And then God
sanctified the seventh day.
00:12:26.19\00:12:31.16
And He gives a reason,
00:12:31.17\00:12:32.93
because in it the seventh day,
00:12:32.94\00:12:35.68
God rested from all His work
00:12:35.69\00:12:38.14
which God had created and made.
00:12:38.15\00:12:42.47
As He created that
seventh day in time.
00:12:42.48\00:12:46.42
I would like you to go
with me in our imagination.
00:12:46.43\00:12:50.36
Let's go back to the end
00:12:50.37\00:12:54.53
of a perfect week
in a perfect world.
00:12:54.54\00:12:58.83
And a world in
which there was no sin,
00:12:58.84\00:13:00.53
no suffering, no death,
00:13:00.54\00:13:02.46
perfect people
in a perfect world
00:13:02.47\00:13:05.70
and we note that
the dark part of the day
00:13:05.71\00:13:09.23
came first as it had
throughout the entire week.
00:13:09.24\00:13:12.83
The sun is setting
behind majestic mountains
00:13:12.84\00:13:15.15
crowned with
towering giant trees,
00:13:15.16\00:13:17.64
200 feet tall or more.
00:13:17.65\00:13:19.37
The skies are blazed with light
00:13:19.38\00:13:21.13
and undim by any pollutions
00:13:21.14\00:13:24.01
and there's a hush
as the shadows lengthen
00:13:24.02\00:13:27.59
and stars and undim
glory begin to shine and glow.
00:13:27.60\00:13:32.90
And in the
distance a love bird coos
00:13:32.91\00:13:36.36
above the insect bird orchestra,
00:13:36.37\00:13:38.80
evening lullaby and
nearby a waterfall splashes out
00:13:38.81\00:13:42.11
its melody of love.
00:13:42.12\00:13:43.66
Two swans glide by
in that sea of glass,
00:13:43.67\00:13:46.87
rippling its dazzling spectrum
00:13:46.88\00:13:48.96
reflected from
the atmosphere above.
00:13:48.97\00:13:51.97
Two giant tigers
left crystal clear water
00:13:51.98\00:13:55.56
while nearby two elephants
swing their tongues in harmony
00:13:55.57\00:14:00.93
with the
pulsating symphony of life.
00:14:00.94\00:14:05.59
And they heard the
sound of the Lord God
00:14:05.60\00:14:08.17
walking in the garden in the
cool of the day, Genesis 3:8.
00:14:08.18\00:14:13.00
And God draws near
00:14:13.01\00:14:15.21
to commune with his children
in that first vesper hour.
00:14:15.22\00:14:21.34
It was an
experience like parents
00:14:21.35\00:14:24.63
when they hold their children
00:14:24.64\00:14:27.03
that have just been
born for the very first time.
00:14:27.04\00:14:31.40
And that moment is overwhelming,
00:14:31.41\00:14:34.48
so thrilling,
joy, engulfs the three
00:14:34.49\00:14:39.04
as they mingle in this emotion
00:14:39.05\00:14:41.56
and a sense of all
in sacred reverence
00:14:41.57\00:14:45.24
toward the life giver and
in this communing of love,
00:14:45.25\00:14:49.88
the three are cloth in
shimmering glorious light.
00:14:49.89\00:14:56.21
O Lord my God,
You are very great,
00:14:56.22\00:14:58.82
You are clothed
with honor and majesty,
00:14:58.83\00:15:01.31
who cover Yourself with
light as with a garment.
00:15:01.32\00:15:04.48
God's children made in His image
00:15:04.49\00:15:07.16
after His likeness were clothed
00:15:07.17\00:15:09.48
with shimmer garment of light.
00:15:09.49\00:15:12.35
And this is why they could
be naked and not be ashamed
00:15:12.36\00:15:15.41
because they were clothed
with that same shimmering light.
00:15:15.42\00:15:18.95
And research shows us today
00:15:18.96\00:15:21.40
that in the
presence of certain light
00:15:21.41\00:15:24.07
skin also shines.
00:15:24.08\00:15:26.47
Moses, when he was
in the presence of God
00:15:26.48\00:15:29.09
and as he came away
from that presence of God,
00:15:29.10\00:15:31.63
his face shown
with the light so bright
00:15:31.64\00:15:34.15
that Israel asked
him to put on a veil.
00:15:34.16\00:15:37.30
And Adam and Eve in the
presence of the Creator,
00:15:37.31\00:15:41.52
they also radiated this
beautiful glorious light.
00:15:41.53\00:15:47.35
And this very
essence of this relationship
00:15:47.36\00:15:51.02
as they dwell there together
00:15:51.03\00:15:52.49
in that first
evening vesper hour,
00:15:52.50\00:15:56.51
it was love, worship,
00:15:56.52\00:15:59.52
was this constant flow
of benevolent affection
00:15:59.53\00:16:03.38
flowing between them and
when fixed upon an object
00:16:03.39\00:16:06.36
truly worthy up on
this flow was not impeded
00:16:06.37\00:16:09.34
then conflicting and
contracting influence
00:16:09.35\00:16:12.23
it was itself a source
of happiness inexhaustible.
00:16:12.24\00:16:17.27
The love desires
the good or honor
00:16:17.28\00:16:19.69
of its object not is own.
00:16:19.70\00:16:23.42
Over the past six
evenings and mornings
00:16:23.43\00:16:27.90
God had poured Himself
out and made His word visible
00:16:27.91\00:16:33.91
in the creation of
another brand new world.
00:16:33.92\00:16:39.60
God saw
everything that He had made,
00:16:39.61\00:16:41.96
and indeed it was very good.
00:16:41.97\00:16:46.96
And so how does the Creator
finish a world of perfection
00:16:46.97\00:16:52.65
and He finished
it with perfect rest.
00:16:52.66\00:16:57.60
And what does
perfect rest look like,
00:16:57.61\00:17:00.87
this seven day
rhythm that is found
00:17:00.88\00:17:04.62
the world over on every corner
and visible to every nation.
00:17:04.63\00:17:11.03
As we take a look back in time,
00:17:11.04\00:17:14.41
we discover that the
oldest thing known to man
00:17:14.42\00:17:17.86
on planet earth
is, what do you think?
00:17:17.87\00:17:21.49
It's language.
00:17:21.50\00:17:23.67
And in 1886, William Mead Jones
00:17:23.68\00:17:28.68
did a very careful study
of all the ancient languages
00:17:28.69\00:17:34.45
and he discovered
00:17:34.46\00:17:36.58
that the vast bulk of
those ancient languages,
00:17:36.59\00:17:41.38
when you look
at the last column,
00:17:41.39\00:17:43.45
the seventh day in
nearly every language,
00:17:43.46\00:17:46.53
kinder, tribe, tongue and people
00:17:46.54\00:17:48.23
convey some kind of a
meaning of the word 'To rest'.
00:17:48.24\00:17:52.10
Anybody speaks
Spanish here tonight?
00:17:52.11\00:17:55.86
Sabado, what does it mean?
00:17:55.87\00:17:59.51
It means rest.
00:17:59.52\00:18:01.35
And they found
in these languages,
00:18:01.36\00:18:04.59
then these different cultures,
00:18:04.60\00:18:06.91
they all got their
meaning right back there
00:18:06.92\00:18:11.19
from attire of Babylon out.
00:18:11.20\00:18:13.62
Seventh day meaning rest
00:18:13.63\00:18:17.27
and probably the
time honored phrase
00:18:17.28\00:18:21.45
that society knows today
is, have you ever heard it?
00:18:21.46\00:18:26.60
Thank God it's Friday.
Anybody ever heard that?
00:18:26.61\00:18:31.35
And there's something about
00:18:31.36\00:18:34.14
when you get to the
end of that sixth day.
00:18:34.15\00:18:38.25
There's one thing in
common, people want rest.
00:18:38.26\00:18:44.92
Dr. Singley tells
how in South America,
00:18:44.93\00:18:49.97
there is a John Mud bird
00:18:49.98\00:18:52.45
and this John Mud bird
00:18:52.46\00:18:53.68
works on his nest
everyday of the week.
00:18:53.69\00:18:55.50
It keeps adding more mud to it,
00:18:55.51\00:18:57.01
that's how it gets
its name, John Mud bird,
00:18:57.02\00:18:59.03
but on the seventh day
doesn't work on his nest.
00:18:59.04\00:19:02.60
He also tells that there's
a honey bee in South America.
00:19:02.61\00:19:06.23
That honey bee is
like other honey bees,
00:19:06.24\00:19:08.07
it works
continuously and steadily
00:19:08.08\00:19:11.57
but amazingly on the seventh day
00:19:11.58\00:19:14.79
this particular type of
honey bee does not work,
00:19:14.80\00:19:18.48
it stays in the hive.
00:19:18.49\00:19:20.53
And another interesting feature
00:19:20.54\00:19:22.29
of that particular
honey bee is it has no stinger
00:19:22.30\00:19:26.18
and there we need to
get all the bees converted.
00:19:26.19\00:19:29.08
In Washington,
Republic Washington,
00:19:29.09\00:19:31.08
there is a lady with
the legal name horse women
00:19:31.09\00:19:35.42
and when she
bottomed out in L.A.
00:19:35.43\00:19:38.05
she moved to Republic Washington
00:19:38.06\00:19:40.46
and she decided that she
was gonna move out into nature.
00:19:40.47\00:19:45.23
She discovered the joys
and the beauties of nature.
00:19:45.24\00:19:48.27
And as she moved out and
I've spoke with this lady,
00:19:48.28\00:19:51.23
she told me that
when she was out there
00:19:51.24\00:19:54.14
and somebody gave
her New Testament,
00:19:54.15\00:19:55.87
she began to read it
00:19:55.88\00:19:57.97
and then she discovered
the world parties every weekend
00:19:57.98\00:20:02.26
and she says, I am
gonna part with the world
00:20:02.27\00:20:05.26
and spend it with God.
00:20:05.27\00:20:07.17
And she began
every Friday evening,
00:20:07.18\00:20:10.36
she began to spend
that time with the Creator
00:20:10.37\00:20:13.44
and she said this.
00:20:13.45\00:20:14.79
She discovered that
those creatures of the forest
00:20:14.80\00:20:18.97
are less active
every seventh day
00:20:18.98\00:20:22.11
than they are on the
other days of the week.
00:20:22.12\00:20:24.80
Isn't that amazing?
00:20:24.81\00:20:26.14
And I don't know if that's true,
00:20:26.15\00:20:27.33
just the Republic Washington,
00:20:27.34\00:20:28.95
God's worked just a
special miracle for her
00:20:28.96\00:20:32.13
but she became acquainted
00:20:32.14\00:20:34.10
with God's rest day
as she studied nature.
00:20:34.11\00:20:39.18
Now in Exodus 31 verse 17,
00:20:39.19\00:20:41.40
it says, "God
rested and was refreshed."
00:20:41.41\00:20:46.43
And that word refreshed
is a Hebrew word nephesh.
00:20:46.44\00:20:50.01
And it has the
idea like a cool breeze.
00:20:50.02\00:20:52.47
I like to suggest that
the Creator rested on this day
00:20:52.48\00:20:56.59
with completion
not from exhaustion.
00:20:56.60\00:21:00.33
In Mark 2 verse 27, we discover,
00:21:00.34\00:21:04.37
"Man is to rest in
harmony with his biorhythms"
00:21:04.38\00:21:09.56
and we're gonna
take a look at biorhythms
00:21:09.57\00:21:11.17
in just a little bit more.
00:21:11.18\00:21:12.79
And then we also discovered
Exodus 20 versus 10 to 11,
00:21:12.80\00:21:16.52
"Animals also were
commanded to rest."
00:21:16.53\00:21:19.89
And we also discovered in
Leviticus 25 versus 1 to 4,
00:21:19.90\00:21:24.48
that the land also was to rest.
00:21:24.49\00:21:29.69
And so we learned
this week as we took a look
00:21:29.70\00:21:33.82
at what God
created on the sixth day
00:21:33.83\00:21:36.08
and the
biorhythms are ticked off
00:21:36.09\00:21:38.87
as part of the D.N.A. system
00:21:38.88\00:21:44.75
in the center of every cell
and somewhere in that D.N.A.
00:21:44.76\00:21:49.69
there is a clock
keeper called biorhythms.
00:21:49.70\00:21:54.69
Doctor Halberg of the
Chronobiology Laboratories
00:21:54.70\00:21:58.27
in University of Minnessota
is a pioneer in biorhythms
00:21:58.28\00:22:02.56
and he's been studying these
00:22:02.57\00:22:04.65
and amass some
very interesting studies
00:22:04.66\00:22:08.40
when it comes to biorhythms,
the circadian rhythm cycles
00:22:08.41\00:22:13.17
that are ticked off in
the cell of your bodies.
00:22:13.18\00:22:18.10
I'm gonna look at
several different case studies
00:22:18.11\00:22:20.88
that shows that
there is, what they call,
00:22:20.89\00:22:24.78
Circaseptan Cycles, what
that means is seven-day rhythms.
00:22:24.79\00:22:31.31
Using powerful computer
methods, scientists analyzed
00:22:31.32\00:22:35.56
the patterns
produced in steroid hormones
00:22:35.57\00:22:38.41
collected from the
urine of a healthy man
00:22:38.42\00:22:40.35
over a 15 year period.
00:22:40.36\00:22:43.01
By chemically analyzing
his ketosteriod output,
00:22:43.02\00:22:46.26
they learned that the
excretion of these hormones
00:22:46.27\00:22:49.23
followed a seven-day rhythm.
00:22:49.24\00:22:53.57
Case study number two,
00:22:53.58\00:22:54.86
A man's heart rate
was monitored for months
00:22:54.87\00:22:57.89
while he stayed in a cave.
00:22:57.90\00:23:00.53
And when the data was analyzed,
00:23:00.54\00:23:02.17
his heart rate clearly
showed a seven-day rhythm,
00:23:02.18\00:23:06.22
beating more
slowly every seventh day.
00:23:06.23\00:23:11.14
Case study number
three, these scientist studied
00:23:11.15\00:23:14.75
70 younger men with
wisdom teeth pulled.
00:23:14.76\00:23:18.15
Seven days after surgery,
their faces were more swollen.
00:23:18.16\00:23:22.44
Seven days later
another wave of swelling.
00:23:22.45\00:23:26.37
And it showed a
seven- day rhythm
00:23:26.38\00:23:28.57
for swelling after surgery.
00:23:28.58\00:23:30.58
And what they discovered that
the immune system of the body
00:23:30.59\00:23:34.77
and when there's a heart
transplant or liver transplant
00:23:34.78\00:23:37.98
or these
transplants they've learned
00:23:37.99\00:23:40.54
that there's a seven-day rhythm
00:23:40.55\00:23:42.09
that follows after that surgery
00:23:42.10\00:23:44.93
and something
about rest and recovery
00:23:44.94\00:23:47.31
that seems to be written
into that seven-day cycle.
00:23:47.32\00:23:51.76
Fourth case study, Rejection
of transplanted kidneys
00:23:51.77\00:23:56.68
occur seven days
after that surgery.
00:23:56.69\00:23:59.59
If overcomes, there
will be another crisis,
00:23:59.60\00:24:01.65
so there is
something about immune system
00:24:01.66\00:24:03.91
that operates with a
seven-day or Circaseptan Cycles.
00:24:03.92\00:24:09.60
These scientists,
demonstrated a seven-day cycle
00:24:09.61\00:24:14.60
in corticosterated-binding
globulin C.B.G. activity
00:24:14.61\00:24:20.42
in human milk of mothers.
00:24:20.43\00:24:22.93
And this is a substance
00:24:22.94\00:24:24.45
that builds the
immune system in the child
00:24:24.46\00:24:28.20
and it also
follows a seven-day rhythm.
00:24:28.21\00:24:32.38
And case study number six,
00:24:32.39\00:24:34.68
they've discovered in the
kind of biological research,
00:24:34.69\00:24:38.39
dogs, monkeys, rats and other
organisms, including plants,
00:24:38.40\00:24:43.39
have
demonstrated seven-day cycles.
00:24:43.40\00:24:47.23
It's most difficult to document
00:24:47.24\00:24:49.74
a seven day
cycle in human beings,
00:24:49.75\00:24:53.75
because any kind of a stressor
like watching a late show,
00:24:53.76\00:24:57.86
or eating between meals
00:24:57.87\00:24:59.41
can take the biorhythms
into a chaotic course,
00:24:59.42\00:25:03.11
that takes weeks return
back to their normal rhythm.
00:25:03.12\00:25:08.41
And so their research has shown
00:25:08.42\00:25:10.80
that this is
clearly demonstrated
00:25:10.81\00:25:14.24
that the Creator
wrote in the D.N.A.
00:25:14.25\00:25:18.71
of plants and
animals a seven-day rhythm
00:25:18.72\00:25:23.19
that God intended
His creatures to enjoy.
00:25:23.20\00:25:28.51
Case study number seven,
00:25:28.52\00:25:30.55
the giant salt mines in Austria
00:25:30.56\00:25:33.38
were once worked by
donkeys seven days a week
00:25:33.39\00:25:36.49
and they
discovered that these donkeys
00:25:36.50\00:25:39.16
did their best output
when they worked them six days
00:25:39.17\00:25:45.48
and let them rest
every seventh day.
00:25:45.49\00:25:48.75
Then these donkeys
could put out in a steady way
00:25:48.76\00:25:52.69
when they had a
day off from work.
00:25:52.70\00:25:55.20
In Exodus 20, "Remember the
Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
00:25:55.21\00:26:00.84
Six days you shall
labour, and do all your work,
00:26:00.85\00:26:04.56
But the seventh day is the
Sabbath of the Lord your God.
00:26:04.57\00:26:08.84
And in it you
shall not do no work,
00:26:08.85\00:26:10.46
you, nor your
son, nor your cattle,
00:26:10.47\00:26:13.27
nor your stranger
that is within your gates."
00:26:13.28\00:26:15.69
This law appears to be written
00:26:15.70\00:26:17.92
on these Austrian donkey D.N.A.
00:26:17.93\00:26:21.03
by the finger of
the Creator Himself.
00:26:21.04\00:26:24.35
It's also interesting to notice
00:26:24.36\00:26:26.20
Potato bug eggs
hatch in seven days.
00:26:26.21\00:26:29.79
Canary eggs hatch in 14 days.
00:26:29.80\00:26:33.54
Barn yard hens hatch in 21 days
00:26:33.55\00:26:37.15
and duck eggs and
goose hatch in 28 days
00:26:37.16\00:26:40.49
and a mallard duck in 35 days
00:26:40.50\00:26:43.36
and parrot and ostrich eggs
00:26:43.37\00:26:45.32
hatch in 42 days,
all divisible by seven.
00:26:45.33\00:26:50.43
And so it appears
somewhere in that D.N.A.
00:26:50.44\00:26:54.91
somewhere in
those billions of steps
00:26:54.92\00:26:59.13
there is a clock keeper
00:26:59.14\00:27:01.21
and German researchers call
it a zeitgeber, a timekeeper.
00:27:01.22\00:27:07.63
They are circadian
rhythms 24 hours cycle rhythms
00:27:07.64\00:27:11.22
and when a person
stays up all night
00:27:11.23\00:27:13.31
or works too long
00:27:13.32\00:27:15.06
then we discover the
next day how do you feel.
00:27:15.07\00:27:18.50
And when these little clocks
00:27:18.51\00:27:20.48
get all out of
sync with each other
00:27:20.49\00:27:22.34
the result is you
feel the difference.
00:27:22.35\00:27:25.84
According to the
fourth commandment
00:27:25.85\00:27:28.15
the zeitgeber is
the Creator himself.
00:27:28.16\00:27:32.63
And so let's just notice
00:27:32.64\00:27:34.37
how the Creator
puts it in Exodus 20,
00:27:34.38\00:27:37.81
This is the fourth commandment,
00:27:37.82\00:27:40.16
"Remember the
Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
00:27:40.17\00:27:44.42
Six days you shall
labor and do all your work,
00:27:44.43\00:27:47.52
but the seventh day is the
Sabbath of the Lord your God.
00:27:47.53\00:27:51.41
In it you shall do not work,
00:27:51.42\00:27:52.83
you, nor your
son, nor your daughter,
00:27:52.84\00:27:55.62
nor your male servant,
nor your female servant,
00:27:55.63\00:27:58.10
nor your cattle,
nor your stranger
00:27:58.11\00:27:59.87
that is within your gates."
00:27:59.88\00:28:01.69
And this is the only commandment
00:28:01.70\00:28:03.46
for which God gave a
reason for why He gave it.
00:28:03.47\00:28:06.98
For or because in six days
00:28:06.99\00:28:09.90
the Lord made the
heavens and the earth,
00:28:09.91\00:28:12.81
the sea and all that in them is,
00:28:12.82\00:28:15.80
and rested the seventh day.
00:28:15.81\00:28:18.24
Therefore the Lord blessed
the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
00:28:18.25\00:28:24.32
In His fourth commandment
00:28:24.33\00:28:26.52
which is sort
of a concluding one
00:28:26.53\00:28:28.68
and how we relate to our Creator
00:28:28.69\00:28:31.52
and we noticed the Creator here
00:28:31.53\00:28:33.33
is directly
referring us back to what?
00:28:33.34\00:28:36.50
The seventh day of the
original first week of time.
00:28:36.51\00:28:42.11
And God created a time to rest.
00:28:42.12\00:28:46.61
We also noticed
00:28:46.62\00:28:48.13
that not only did God
command mankind to rest,
00:28:48.14\00:28:51.65
but God also
commanded the land to rest.
00:28:51.66\00:28:55.44
In Hugh Macmillan's book
"The Sabbath of the Fields"
00:28:55.45\00:28:59.95
he did a study and
this is way he puts it.
00:28:59.96\00:29:05.39
He said, Palestine
needed this periodical rest,
00:29:05.40\00:29:08.82
he knows the land is
particularly composed
00:29:08.83\00:29:11.15
of disintegrated
limestone and is very loose
00:29:11.16\00:29:13.73
and light in texture.
00:29:13.74\00:29:15.53
It part some of the
influence of that airy climate
00:29:15.54\00:29:18.01
very easily with its phosphates
00:29:18.02\00:29:20.17
and other
materials. He continues,
00:29:20.18\00:29:22.40
the construction of the
land was had to be well,
00:29:22.41\00:29:25.43
by excessive and
continual production
00:29:25.44\00:29:28.22
as is the body
of and a mind of man
00:29:28.23\00:29:32.33
by prolonged incessant toil.
00:29:32.34\00:29:34.89
Hence the Sabbath rest
was as much needed by the land
00:29:34.90\00:29:38.58
as by those who cultivated it.
00:29:38.59\00:29:41.37
And God gave a double
polders every sixth year,
00:29:41.38\00:29:46.32
so there would be a
sufficient to tie them
00:29:46.33\00:29:48.46
over the seventh year
00:29:48.47\00:29:49.79
when no agriculture
pursuits ought to be followed
00:29:49.80\00:29:53.52
and the land was
to be allowed to rest.
00:29:53.53\00:29:56.66
Unfortunately
ancient Israel did not follow
00:29:56.67\00:30:01.02
the Creator's voice
to give the land its rest
00:30:01.03\00:30:05.18
and so the warning that
Moses gave in Leviticus 26:33,
00:30:05.19\00:30:09.71
"And I will scatter
you among the heathen,
00:30:09.72\00:30:11.70
and I will draw
a sword after you,
00:30:11.71\00:30:14.05
and your land shall be desolate,
00:30:14.06\00:30:15.91
and your cities
waste and then your land
00:30:15.92\00:30:18.39
will enjoy her Sabbaths
as long as it lies desolate,
00:30:18.40\00:30:22.97
and ye be in your enemies' land,
00:30:22.98\00:30:25.24
then shall the land
rest and enjoy her Sabbath."
00:30:25.25\00:30:29.79
And so the Creator intended
00:30:29.80\00:30:31.51
that even the land should rest.
00:30:31.52\00:30:34.37
And you know, does
that still apply today,
00:30:34.38\00:30:36.76
you know is that
still a valuable thing.
00:30:36.77\00:30:40.30
And I would like to just share
00:30:40.31\00:30:42.36
this very brief short testimony.
00:30:42.37\00:30:45.46
I've been preaching
for 21 years nonstop
00:30:45.47\00:30:48.99
and I decided that I needed
to take a Sabbatical rest.
00:30:50.26\00:30:55.77
And so we had an
auction and sold off
00:30:55.78\00:31:01.27
most of the stuff
that we had accumulated
00:31:01.28\00:31:03.33
which was quite a large
amount when we move there,
00:31:03.34\00:31:06.68
took the biggest
moving van plus two station
00:31:06.69\00:31:10.54
wagons plus two
trailers to move it there,
00:31:10.55\00:31:12.85
but when we had this auction
00:31:12.86\00:31:14.17
and got rid of all those stuff
00:31:14.18\00:31:16.02
we moved away in a green truck.
00:31:16.03\00:31:17.39
And we went to the
wilderness of Montana,
00:31:17.40\00:31:19.66
just outside of
Glacier Park there
00:31:20.22\00:31:22.98
and we lived
there for seven years
00:31:22.99\00:31:25.91
and probably reason I took
that sabbatical was because
00:31:25.92\00:31:28.81
my children had got
into spiritual difficulty,
00:31:30.97\00:31:34.46
and I believe the
words of Paul were true.
00:31:34.47\00:31:37.10
If you can't
manage your own household,
00:31:37.11\00:31:39.02
how do you gonna
manage the house of God.
00:31:39.03\00:31:41.26
And I thought, you know what,
00:31:41.27\00:31:42.99
my kid servants are
gonna out preach mine
00:31:43.00\00:31:46.36
and so I took a sabbatical leave
00:31:46.37\00:31:48.48
and I took the
counsel that God gave here
00:31:48.49\00:31:51.75
and I found this that
when we took that break
00:31:51.76\00:31:55.33
and you say, well,
how you gonna live,
00:31:57.06\00:31:58.38
well that's an interesting story
00:31:58.39\00:32:00.28
and my testimony is
this for the next seven years
00:32:00.29\00:32:03.25
we lived on $3,000
a year earned income
00:32:03.26\00:32:08.98
and the other amazing
thing was while we're living
00:32:08.99\00:32:11.51
on that limited
amount of income,
00:32:11.52\00:32:14.09
we also build a house,
00:32:15.64\00:32:17.00
I never
borrowed any money at it.
00:32:18.14\00:32:19.87
And during those
years I saw God work
00:32:20.59\00:32:24.40
miracle after
miracle after miracle
00:32:24.41\00:32:27.56
as we were building that house
00:32:27.57\00:32:28.94
and learning out
there in the wilderness
00:32:28.95\00:32:32.01
on a sabbatical
leave some things
00:32:32.02\00:32:34.86
that they didn't
teach in the seminar.
00:32:34.87\00:32:37.63
And the one thing we did
learn was to trust the Creator
00:32:37.64\00:32:41.21
and as we look back
over that experience
00:32:41.22\00:32:45.63
we consider that, that
was probably the smartest
00:32:45.64\00:32:48.75
and wisest
thing that we ever did
00:32:48.76\00:32:51.21
when we decided to
give our ministry a rest,
00:32:51.22\00:32:55.92
like God commanded the
land to rest in Leviticus 25:4.
00:32:55.93\00:33:01.57
We also discover that
00:33:01.58\00:33:03.45
God created a 40
year circaseptan cycle.
00:33:03.46\00:33:08.90
Exodus 16 tells the
story of a super natural
00:33:08.91\00:33:12.91
daily rhythm called manna.
00:33:12.92\00:33:16.27
When the layer
of the dew lifted,
00:33:16.28\00:33:18.49
on the surface
of the wilderness,
00:33:18.50\00:33:20.08
there was a
small round substance,
00:33:20.09\00:33:21.91
as fine as frost on the ground
00:33:21.92\00:33:24.16
like a white coriander seed,
00:33:24.17\00:33:25.84
the taste of it was
like wafers made with honey.
00:33:25.85\00:33:30.42
I want you to think
about what God instigated
00:33:30.43\00:33:33.13
when He created that experience.
00:33:33.14\00:33:36.19
For six days, they
had to get up before dawn
00:33:36.20\00:33:41.61
because the manna would
melt in the heat of the sun
00:33:41.62\00:33:47.78
and the only way you
can get it was to get up
00:33:47.79\00:33:50.06
before the sun came
up and they got down
00:33:50.07\00:33:52.23
on their hands and their knees
00:33:52.24\00:33:53.98
and they carefully gathered up
00:33:53.99\00:33:55.60
four quarts per person
per tent or per family.
00:33:55.61\00:34:00.41
On the six day,
twice as much manna fell.
00:34:00.42\00:34:05.03
And they were told
to keep that manna over,
00:34:05.04\00:34:08.12
for on the seventh
day no manna would fall
00:34:08.13\00:34:11.78
and it would not spoil.
00:34:11.79\00:34:13.62
God specifically told
them, gather the manna
00:34:13.63\00:34:16.31
but don't keep any of it
over on any of those six days
00:34:16.32\00:34:19.65
if they kept it
over it would breed worms
00:34:19.66\00:34:22.26
and it would stink.
00:34:22.27\00:34:23.51
But on the sixth day God said,
00:34:24.44\00:34:27.69
gather twice as much
manna because on the seventh day
00:34:27.70\00:34:32.51
there will be no manna,
tomorrow is a Sabbath rest,
00:34:32.52\00:34:35.87
a holy Sabbath to
the Lord. Exodus 16:24.
00:34:35.88\00:34:41.43
And on the
seventh day no manna fell.
00:34:41.44\00:34:45.09
And it also
carried a death penalty
00:34:46.09\00:34:48.36
if they were found
working on that day.
00:34:48.37\00:34:52.17
God felt it was important
that people take a rest.
00:34:52.18\00:34:55.63
Now think with me now,
isn't God a meanie you know,
00:34:55.64\00:34:59.37
take the day off,
don't work, take a rest.
00:34:59.38\00:35:03.36
I want to have fellowship
with you one on one on that
00:35:04.56\00:35:11.36
seventh day unlike I
don't have on any other day.
00:35:11.37\00:35:16.75
And I would like to
suggest that, that death penalty
00:35:16.76\00:35:21.63
may still be there even
thou we don't recognize it
00:35:21.64\00:35:26.56
as such, because your day
begins the night before right.
00:35:26.57\00:35:32.15
When it begins the night before,
00:35:32.16\00:35:34.45
how well you sleep
during the dark part
00:35:34.46\00:35:36.60
of the day of
this rest business?
00:35:36.61\00:35:39.96
We determine how
well the light part
00:35:41.47\00:35:44.21
of the day will go.
00:35:44.22\00:35:45.75
For example they
discovered circadian rhythms,
00:35:45.76\00:35:49.42
these are 24 hour
cycles and they discovered that
00:35:49.43\00:35:54.02
when you do not
sleep and eat regularly
00:35:54.03\00:35:58.35
these little circadian rhythms
00:35:58.36\00:36:00.13
get out of sync with each other,
00:36:00.14\00:36:02.78
some of these
one hundred trillion
00:36:02.79\00:36:04.64
cells of your body don't like
00:36:04.65\00:36:07.40
this erratic kind of lifestyle
00:36:07.41\00:36:10.86
and you will
feel the difference.
00:36:10.87\00:36:12.23
For example Doctor Janet Harker
00:36:12.24\00:36:14.22
of Cambridge University
did a study on cockroaches
00:36:14.23\00:36:17.92
and she discovered
that you could transplant
00:36:17.93\00:36:20.08
the thalamus which
control the circadian rhythms
00:36:20.09\00:36:23.25
of the cockroach and
she could take a cockroach
00:36:23.26\00:36:26.27
and fly to California and
get a three hours out of sync
00:36:26.28\00:36:30.25
from where it came from
and she could take the thalamus
00:36:30.26\00:36:33.14
and transplant that to the
one on the different time zone
00:36:33.15\00:36:37.96
and they would recycle
their clocks to match it
00:36:37.97\00:36:42.82
and she repeatedly did this
and then she also discovered
00:36:42.83\00:36:46.79
that when you take
cockroaches and you get them,
00:36:46.80\00:36:50.37
I think it was
12 hours out of sync
00:36:50.38\00:36:53.47
with the original
donor, it would kill him.
00:36:54.45\00:36:58.59
The stress the internal stress
00:36:59.67\00:37:01.46
was so great of
trying to recycle
00:37:01.47\00:37:03.29
those clocks out of
sync with each other
00:37:03.30\00:37:06.54
that they would develop
00:37:06.55\00:37:07.76
malignant tumors and would die.
00:37:07.77\00:37:09.83
And could it be that
the circadian rhythms
00:37:10.83\00:37:14.11
that are ticked
off in the human body
00:37:14.12\00:37:16.51
set there by the
Creator that may be the reason
00:37:17.60\00:37:22.05
cancer cannot seem
to be found is because
00:37:22.06\00:37:24.90
cancers are cells
that become rebellious
00:37:24.91\00:37:27.83
and no longer follow
the rest rhythm pattern
00:37:27.84\00:37:31.10
which is normal for
body cells to take care of.
00:37:31.11\00:37:35.70
I can't prove that,
but it would suggest
00:37:36.65\00:37:39.16
that there might a link
there and jet pilots were
00:37:39.17\00:37:42.95
the first ones to
discover the circadian rhythms.
00:37:42.96\00:37:46.51
Because as they went
through the time zones
00:37:46.52\00:37:48.26
and if anybody has
ever done that you will know
00:37:48.27\00:37:51.25
if that when you are out of sync
00:37:51.26\00:37:52.87
you are out of sync
and every cell in your body
00:37:52.88\00:37:55.30
will tell you about it.
00:37:55.31\00:37:56.63
They did study in mice.
00:37:56.64\00:37:58.87
Mice are normally
a nocturnal animal
00:37:58.88\00:38:02.06
and they would take these mice
00:38:02.07\00:38:03.44
and they would give them
00:38:03.45\00:38:04.77
a dose of x-ray
in the night time,
00:38:04.78\00:38:10.37
and it would make them
sick but they would get over it,
00:38:11.37\00:38:14.22
but the identical dose of
x-ray given in the day time
00:38:14.23\00:38:18.32
would kill them
every single time.
00:38:18.33\00:38:20.98
The only thing
that made the difference
00:38:20.99\00:38:22.72
was when they gave
the x-ray to the mice.
00:38:22.73\00:38:26.26
They also
discovered with food poisoning,
00:38:26.27\00:38:28.68
basgalible siliceous they
can give that to the mice,
00:38:28.69\00:38:31.75
it they gave it to them at night
00:38:31.76\00:38:33.39
it would make them
sick, but they can get over it
00:38:33.40\00:38:35.76
but the same identical
dose of basgalible siliceous
00:38:35.77\00:38:39.24
given in the day time,
00:38:39.25\00:38:41.23
it would kill
them every single time.
00:38:41.24\00:38:43.35
And only thing
that made the difference
00:38:43.36\00:38:45.03
was when it was being given.
00:38:45.04\00:38:48.08
And so we can see
that this business of rest
00:38:48.09\00:38:51.85
was written by the
Creator's finger on every nerve
00:38:53.46\00:38:58.37
and cell of your body
there is those rhythms
00:38:58.38\00:39:02.72
and He created then to be rested
00:39:02.73\00:39:05.63
on a circaseptan cycle,
00:39:05.64\00:39:08.81
but that's not all
that the Creator did.
00:39:08.82\00:39:12.94
On that seventh
day He created rest,
00:39:12.95\00:39:17.49
but more than that
he also blessed that day
00:39:17.50\00:39:23.04
that 24 hour period it
comes from a Hebrew word
00:39:23.05\00:39:26.42
'to kneel in thanks'
and 'to be in gratitude',
00:39:26.43\00:39:30.32
it's a blessed time
in His world of nature.
00:39:30.33\00:39:36.06
Let me ask you a question,
00:39:36.07\00:39:37.63
When God blesses something,
00:39:37.64\00:39:40.06
does it make it any different?
00:39:40.07\00:39:41.81
When we ask God's
blessing on the food,
00:39:42.88\00:39:46.60
does that make that food
different after its blessed?
00:39:46.61\00:39:49.40
I believe it does.
00:39:50.40\00:39:51.67
And when parents ask for
God's blessing on his children,
00:39:51.68\00:39:55.63
does that make it
different? Yes, it does.
00:39:55.64\00:39:58.93
And when God blesses time,
00:39:58.94\00:40:02.00
does it make it
difference? Indeed it does.
00:40:04.82\00:40:08.46
And He is calling people
from these busy rat race world,
00:40:08.47\00:40:12.92
He's calling them to
experience this blessing
00:40:12.93\00:40:16.66
that He created
in that space of time
00:40:17.71\00:40:21.97
and He want us to listen
to nature speak to your heart.
00:40:21.98\00:40:28.05
And I hope you caught that
as we gone through this week
00:40:28.06\00:40:31.51
the things that God
made tell us about the maker.
00:40:32.61\00:40:35.85
If we will be still long enough
00:40:35.86\00:40:37.98
to look and carefully listen.
00:40:37.99\00:40:40.38
I would like to suggest that
00:40:40.39\00:40:42.18
if you will go out into nature
00:40:42.19\00:40:44.58
and there you can look and
listen to what He has made.
00:40:44.59\00:40:51.15
If you will go out
there with a pencil
00:40:51.16\00:40:54.14
and try to draw what you see,
00:40:54.15\00:40:56.88
and you say,
well I am no artist.
00:40:56.89\00:40:58.57
Well believe that
when we were created
00:40:59.60\00:41:05.16
in the Creator's
image after His likeness
00:41:05.17\00:41:07.32
He created every
person to be creative.
00:41:07.33\00:41:10.47
And you are never fulfill
until you are being creative,
00:41:10.48\00:41:13.85
whether it's in the kitchen
or whether its making clothes
00:41:13.86\00:41:16.69
or whether its in your work,
00:41:16.70\00:41:18.16
God created us to
be creative in our work
00:41:18.17\00:41:21.83
and I would just
want to share with you
00:41:21.84\00:41:23.70
a just a little
statement here taken from a book
00:41:23.71\00:41:28.34
entitle "Taming
tension" by W. Phillip Keller.
00:41:28.35\00:41:33.62
And I like to just read
you one little short paragraph,
00:41:33.63\00:41:37.29
"In ones effort
to draw or paint,
00:41:37.30\00:41:40.38
one soon discovers his
entire tension is caught up
00:41:41.41\00:41:44.38
in the task for many people
00:41:44.39\00:41:46.08
this is the first time in life
00:41:46.09\00:41:48.12
they really began to look
at things and suddenly light
00:41:48.13\00:41:50.64
and shadow on stone
00:41:50.65\00:41:52.02
and leaf or building
takes on special significance.
00:41:52.03\00:41:56.12
The shape of the
cloud sparkle over the sea,
00:41:56.13\00:41:58.29
the details of the fence
00:41:58.30\00:41:59.71
or the form of the
flower acquire great interest.
00:41:59.72\00:42:03.02
And it is if all of
a sudden a misty veil
00:42:04.06\00:42:06.34
is being drawn
back across ones vision
00:42:06.35\00:42:09.11
and instead of a
blurb above the world
00:42:09.12\00:42:10.86
it is not alive and vibrate.
00:42:10.87\00:42:13.03
Each part of it
pulsates with light
00:42:13.04\00:42:15.69
and color and new fascination."
00:42:15.70\00:42:19.19
And I just encourage
you to take that time
00:42:19.20\00:42:22.40
for a family to be together
00:42:22.41\00:42:24.99
in God's outer doors classroom
00:42:25.00\00:42:26.90
and experience the blessing
that God put into that time
00:42:26.91\00:42:31.92
and enjoy the
smell, enjoy the taste
00:42:31.93\00:42:36.24
and use all the
senses to perceive
00:42:36.25\00:42:39.72
and take in all the blessing
that the Creator has created
00:42:39.73\00:42:43.97
on that day, but that's not all.
00:42:43.98\00:42:46.20
It goes on and it says,
God sanctified that day.
00:42:47.51\00:42:52.13
It's a Hebrew word 'qadash',
00:42:53.24\00:42:54.66
it's the verb to
be clean or to be holy
00:42:54.67\00:42:58.16
and I think the people
who understand what that word
00:42:58.17\00:43:01.65
sanctified really means
is the Bird sanctuaries.
00:43:01.66\00:43:06.82
They are set up, they
put fences around them,
00:43:06.83\00:43:09.97
you can't go in there
and hurt the birds in anyway,
00:43:09.98\00:43:12.56
its sanctified if you
please, it's a sanctuary,
00:43:12.57\00:43:16.13
it set aside, it
has a fence around it
00:43:16.14\00:43:18.93
and t says don't go there
00:43:18.94\00:43:20.33
with the purpose
of hurting birds.
00:43:21.68\00:43:24.45
In the same way
God on that seventh day
00:43:24.46\00:43:27.98
put a fence around
it and He said its holy,
00:43:27.99\00:43:31.31
its holy time, it set aside.
00:43:31.32\00:43:34.52
I want to have a relationship
00:43:34.53\00:43:37.84
with you and so
children spell love,
00:43:37.85\00:43:41.84
you know how they
spell it, 'T-I-M-E'.
00:43:41.85\00:43:45.99
They don't want your
toys, they don't want your money
00:43:46.99\00:43:49.53
what they really want
is a relationship with you
00:43:49.54\00:43:53.40
and the parent Creator
Jesus Christ wants to have
00:43:53.41\00:43:59.44
that kind of
relationship with you
00:43:59.45\00:44:01.79
in that space of time.
00:44:01.80\00:44:03.64
In his work of recreation,
00:44:03.65\00:44:05.38
He rested in the
tomb, we find in His word.
00:44:05.39\00:44:10.74
He rested from
the work of recreation
00:44:10.75\00:44:13.52
and during the
hours of that Sabbath
00:44:13.53\00:44:15.56
as He rested in the tomb,
00:44:15.57\00:44:17.40
in the great work
of redemption He rested
00:44:18.52\00:44:22.53
and then He came forth
from the tomb to do His work.
00:44:22.54\00:44:25.99
Paul warns in
Hebrews 3 versus 18 and 19,
00:44:27.31\00:44:32.25
"And to whom did He swear
00:44:32.26\00:44:34.23
that they would
not enter his rest,
00:44:34.24\00:44:36.23
but to those who did not obey?
00:44:36.24\00:44:38.81
So we see that they could not
enter in because of unbelief."
00:44:38.82\00:44:44.22
God created a day, 24
hours with the purpose
00:44:45.23\00:44:50.62
of special one on
one fellowship with Him,
00:44:50.63\00:44:53.67
he calls it My Holy day.
00:44:53.68\00:44:57.17
And we need that time.
00:44:59.09\00:45:00.48
There remains therefore a rest,
00:45:01.95\00:45:04.30
the word is
sabatismos in the Greek,
00:45:05.06\00:45:07.53
for the people of God.
00:45:07.54\00:45:08.86
For he who has
entered His rest has himself
00:45:08.87\00:45:11.89
also ceased from his
works as God did from His,
00:45:11.90\00:45:16.59
Hebrews 4:9 and 10.
00:45:16.60\00:45:18.98
And I'd like to suggest
that, that Sabbath is a sign,
00:45:18.99\00:45:23.77
"On the seventh day God
rested and was refreshed."
00:45:25.36\00:45:29.81
And we need to choose
00:45:31.09\00:45:32.36
to take advantage
of what He created.
00:45:33.37\00:45:37.04
I just like to point it
out Seventh-day Adventist
00:45:37.05\00:45:39.22
didn't create the seventh day,
00:45:39.23\00:45:40.96
that's the Creator's
work but Seventh-day Adventist
00:45:42.08\00:45:45.19
have discovered there
is a blessing on that day
00:45:45.20\00:45:49.45
and once you get used to
it, you cant live without it,
00:45:49.46\00:45:52.06
it's the best day of the week.
00:45:53.06\00:45:55.99
And so I would like
to just draw this week
00:45:56.00\00:45:59.79
to a conclusion
tonight by inviting you
00:45:59.80\00:46:02.57
to make a choice.
00:46:02.58\00:46:03.62
Who are you going to serve?
00:46:04.65\00:46:07.10
The Creator or the created.
00:46:09.22\00:46:12.20
Chose Him whom to
know is life eternal.
00:46:13.28\00:46:18.98
And I want to draw a
conclusion to this message,
00:46:18.99\00:46:21.40
Jesus on his
sermon on the mount.
00:46:22.65\00:46:24.52
He talked about life.
00:46:27.39\00:46:29.76
And sooner or later, I
am gonna draw this picture
00:46:29.77\00:46:31.86
the way the devil presents it
00:46:31.87\00:46:34.45
and then I want to,
00:46:34.46\00:46:35.70
with the light of faith
00:46:37.43\00:46:38.57
I want you to see this picture
00:46:38.61\00:46:40.79
the way it really is.
00:46:40.80\00:46:42.89
And so Jesus
said, broad as the gate
00:46:42.90\00:46:46.67
and wide is the way
that leads to destruction
00:46:46.68\00:46:50.45
and many there
be that go there in
00:46:50.46\00:46:54.44
but straight is the
gate and narrow is the way
00:46:54.45\00:46:58.39
that leads to light and
few there be that find it,
00:46:58.40\00:47:04.94
because it's a choice
and today we find our world
00:47:04.95\00:47:11.25
living in great
giant metropolises, cities
00:47:15.16\00:47:19.61
and we have to decide
00:47:21.40\00:47:23.74
were am I going to live.
00:47:26.19\00:47:29.02
And we come to this
crossroad in our life
00:47:33.37\00:47:36.61
and sooner or later
everybody comes to a crossroad
00:47:36.91\00:47:40.67
and we have to decide
00:47:43.41\00:47:45.20
what are we going to do
with the Creator and His word?
00:47:45.21\00:47:50.34
And we take a
look at the sign and
00:47:54.96\00:47:57.76
we ask ourselves
00:48:04.69\00:48:06.21
who is going where
00:48:06.93\00:48:12.58
and the broad way,
we take a look there
00:48:12.59\00:48:15.33
and we take a look and we see
00:48:15.34\00:48:18.66
there are- the whole world
00:48:21.19\00:48:25.62
of entertainment is here
00:48:27.79\00:48:30.72
and they invite us go here,
00:48:37.80\00:48:40.97
join us and on this broad way,
00:48:41.97\00:48:46.13
there is room for you
00:48:47.22\00:48:49.13
because there
are no restrictions,
00:48:49.14\00:48:52.93
you can believe
anything you want to believe
00:48:52.94\00:48:55.67
and its all right.
00:48:55.68\00:48:57.93
No one will ever
ask you or judge you.
00:48:57.94\00:49:03.39
It's the theory of
pluralism at its best
00:49:04.57\00:49:09.23
and these people
and we look and see
00:49:09.24\00:49:11.67
well who's going
there and we can see
00:49:11.68\00:49:14.60
that there's just
all kinds of people
00:49:14.61\00:49:17.35
and then there is entertainment,
00:49:17.36\00:49:23.18
there is
dancing, there is music,
00:49:26.67\00:49:30.03
there is every imaginable,
00:49:30.04\00:49:32.83
if it feels good do it,
if it taste good, eat it
00:49:34.47\00:49:38.13
and we take a look
and we can just see
00:49:38.14\00:49:40.56
that it just seems like
the whole world is on board
00:49:40.57\00:49:44.46
as it travels
00:49:44.47\00:49:47.43
and we like to join
where there are people.
00:49:51.17\00:49:57.55
We look up at the sign
00:49:57.56\00:49:59.31
and we say, well
what does it say?
00:50:03.20\00:50:05.92
And the broad way says its fun.
00:50:05.93\00:50:13.39
Do what pleases you
00:50:15.45\00:50:17.51
and if it taste
good, do it, eat it.
00:50:19.78\00:50:23.78
That's just the
wonderful way to live
00:50:24.96\00:50:28.06
and so we think about that
00:50:28.07\00:50:30.85
and every way sounds good
00:50:32.01\00:50:35.10
and so we look at this crowd
00:50:35.11\00:50:36.53
and narrow is the way he said.
00:50:36.54\00:50:38.93
And so we take a look of
what is the other option,
00:50:38.94\00:50:42.85
what other choice do we have
00:50:43.20\00:50:46.06
and so we look over
there and Jesus said,
00:50:46.07\00:50:49.85
straight is the gate
and narrow is the way
00:50:49.86\00:50:53.13
that leads the light
00:50:53.14\00:50:55.65
and few there be that find it.
00:50:55.66\00:50:58.54
And so we look over
here and Jesus said,
00:50:59.34\00:51:04.22
if anyone will come
after me let him deny himself,
00:51:04.23\00:51:07.70
take up his cross and follow me
00:51:07.71\00:51:10.97
and if you're
tired of going no where
00:51:11.54\00:51:14.06
try the cross road.
00:51:15.45\00:51:16.77
And when the Creator
creates He separates.
00:51:21.02\00:51:23.92
We've noticed that
in the creation story
00:51:23.93\00:51:26.97
as we took a look
at the creation week,
00:51:26.98\00:51:30.88
we discovered on day one,
00:51:31.35\00:51:32.85
he separated
light from darkness.
00:51:32.86\00:51:37.19
On day two He
separated water from water.
00:51:37.51\00:51:42.23
On day three He
separated land from water.
00:51:42.24\00:51:47.23
And God in his
wonderful plan of redemption
00:51:49.68\00:51:53.20
He wants to
separate people from sin
00:51:53.21\00:51:56.11
and selfishness and degradation,
00:51:56.54\00:52:01.81
and so we take a look at that
00:52:01.82\00:52:04.98
and the devil
paints his picture,
00:52:04.99\00:52:07.45
follow the cross, self denial,
00:52:09.07\00:52:12.63
why would you want to do that?
00:52:14.37\00:52:16.29
Then the devil
says, is you do that,
00:52:16.30\00:52:19.03
that would be dull,
00:52:19.51\00:52:20.82
it won't be something
00:52:22.26\00:52:29.13
that you won't want to do.
00:52:31.23\00:52:32.77
And so we wonder that question,
00:52:39.40\00:52:44.14
which way will you go?
00:52:48.50\00:52:49.74
Jesus invites us to
follow him the Creator.
00:52:51.03\00:52:55.31
He invited us to be recreated,
00:52:55.32\00:52:58.16
come out from the
moment and be separate,
00:52:59.00\00:53:01.56
said the Lord and chose not
00:53:01.57\00:53:05.75
the on going thing if we
can have the other lights off.
00:53:05.76\00:53:08.42
But as we try to
make this decision
00:53:09.42\00:53:11.42
with the faith of Abraham,
the faith of Isaac and Jacob
00:53:12.44\00:53:16.45
and the other
great people of the Bible
00:53:16.46\00:53:21.14
and we stand here,
looking at the crossroad,
00:53:23.20\00:53:25.07
we're trying to decide
which way am I going to go?
00:53:25.08\00:53:29.95
And we're thinking
about which way to go,
00:53:31.03\00:53:34.19
God says, I declare
the end from the beginning
00:53:35.22\00:53:39.35
and you people when you can see
00:53:39.36\00:53:40.47
the end from the beginning
than it helps you to know
00:53:40.48\00:53:44.25
which way you're going to go
00:53:44.26\00:53:46.05
and Jesus said,
broad is the gate
00:53:46.06\00:53:49.16
and wide is the way
that leads to destruction
00:53:49.17\00:53:53.18
and many there
be that go there in
00:53:53.19\00:53:56.08
but straight is the
gate and narrow is the way
00:53:56.09\00:54:00.07
they leads to light
and few there be to find it
00:54:00.08\00:54:03.23
with the eye of faith
00:54:03.24\00:54:06.41
then the light
of the Holy Spirit.
00:54:07.37\00:54:09.20
Lets see this
picture, the way it really is
00:54:10.53\00:54:15.34
and them I am gonna ask you
to make the decision tonight
00:54:15.35\00:54:18.20
to follow the Creator
00:54:19.61\00:54:21.09
and follow Him
00:54:23.06\00:54:24.20
and when we see the
picture the way it really is,
00:54:27.86\00:54:32.91
that is not hard
to make a decision
00:54:32.92\00:54:36.47
and as I close this series,
I would like to invite you
00:54:36.48\00:54:39.97
if God is speaking to you
00:54:39.98\00:54:41.90
would you be
willing to be separated,
00:54:42.93\00:54:46.69
to come out and if
God is calling you,
00:54:46.70\00:54:49.79
wont you
separate from the brad way
00:54:51.71\00:54:57.05
and take the narrow way.
00:54:57.06\00:54:59.21
Follow Him whom to
know is life eternal
00:54:59.22\00:55:02.51
as many as received him
00:55:02.52\00:55:03.71
and he gave the power
to become the son's of God.
00:55:03.72\00:55:07.31
