Well here it is...
we've been talking about it
00:00:30.69\00:00:32.73
we've been thinking about
it, we've been edging toward it,
00:00:32.76\00:00:35.13
but we haven't
ever quite got there,
00:00:35.16\00:00:36.56
we are now on the Seal of God.
00:00:36.60\00:00:38.30
I think we were... we
were trying to get in there
00:00:38.33\00:00:41.44
last time but
just... so we were...
00:00:41.47\00:00:43.14
so in order to
get in there this time
00:00:43.17\00:00:44.77
and not get carried
away in good, good stuff...
00:00:44.81\00:00:47.44
because all the stuff
we've been talking about
00:00:47.48\00:00:50.08
is really good,
powerful, practical stuff,
00:00:50.11\00:00:52.35
we want to open up with prayer,
Jason, open us up with prayer
00:00:52.38\00:00:56.65
and then we want to get
right into Ephesians 1, Yvonne,
00:00:56.69\00:00:58.72
if you want to read
Ephesians 1 after we pray
00:00:58.75\00:01:00.76
and we're going to read...
we'll start with verse 12
00:01:00.79\00:01:04.89
to get us the
context... 12, 13 and 14,
00:01:04.93\00:01:08.03
Ephesians 1:12 to 14, yeah.
00:01:08.06\00:01:11.53
Jason: "Dear Heavenly
Father, we thank you once again
00:01:11.57\00:01:15.07
for allowing us to be
able to even study your Word
00:01:15.10\00:01:18.54
and to comprehend
what we're studying
00:01:18.57\00:01:20.68
and to be able to
take our time with it,
00:01:20.71\00:01:22.68
we realize that
progress is a process
00:01:22.71\00:01:25.11
and we thank you
for blessing us with...
00:01:25.15\00:01:27.48
with the time to be able to
get a firm understanding of it
00:01:27.52\00:01:31.12
in Jesus' name we pray, amen. "
00:01:31.15\00:01:32.49
All: "Amen... "
00:01:32.52\00:01:33.86
James: Amen...
Ephesians 1:12 to 14.
00:01:33.89\00:01:35.92
Yvonne: Okay,
00:01:35.96\00:01:37.29
"That we should be to
the praise of his glory,
00:01:37.33\00:01:40.00
who first trusted in Christ.
00:01:40.03\00:01:41.90
In whom ye also trusted,
00:01:41.93\00:01:43.70
after that ye
heard the word of truth,
00:01:43.73\00:01:46.13
the gospel of your salvation:
00:01:46.17\00:01:47.74
in whom also
after that ye believed,
00:01:47.77\00:01:50.47
ye were sealed with
that holy Spirit of promise,
00:01:50.51\00:01:53.94
Which is the
earnest of our inheritance
00:01:53.98\00:01:56.44
until the redemption of
the purchased possession,
00:01:56.51\00:01:58.68
unto the praise of his glory.
00:01:58.71\00:02:00.58
Wherefore I also after I heard
of your faith in the Lord Jesus,
00:02:00.62\00:02:04.75
and love unto all the saints,
00:02:04.79\00:02:06.65
Cease not to
give thanks for you,
00:02:06.69\00:02:09.36
making mention of
you in my prayers... "
00:02:09.39\00:02:11.89
James: All right, you
got a couple of extras there
00:02:11.93\00:02:13.96
but that's good in the context
and it's really powerful,
00:02:14.00\00:02:16.73
Paul here is talking
about the Christian experience,
00:02:16.77\00:02:19.27
he's talking about
unbelievers who believe.
00:02:19.30\00:02:22.27
He's talking about
people who heard the gospel
00:02:22.30\00:02:25.21
and then they accepted
it, they believed in it,
00:02:25.24\00:02:28.04
they trusted in Jesus
Christ and then he says this,
00:02:28.08\00:02:30.75
he says, "After you
trusted in Jesus Christ... "
00:02:30.78\00:02:33.35
he says, "you were sealed with
that Holy Spirit of promise"
00:02:33.38\00:02:39.29
okay, now, the Seal of
God... Revelation chapter 7
00:02:39.32\00:02:44.53
and inference is
in Revelation 14...
00:02:44.56\00:02:48.13
in Revelation 22,
00:02:48.16\00:02:49.50
is the character of
God in our foreheads,
00:02:49.53\00:02:52.23
the character of
God in our hearts...
00:02:52.27\00:02:54.90
in our lives revealed in
actions but the Seal of God
00:02:54.94\00:03:00.98
in the context of
this is telling us
00:03:01.01\00:03:03.98
that that's...
that... that experience
00:03:04.01\00:03:06.48
is through the
gospel of Jesus Christ.
00:03:06.51\00:03:08.52
Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:03:08.55\00:03:09.88
James: So, when we
think about the Seal of God,
00:03:09.92\00:03:12.45
we are talking
specifically about the gospel,
00:03:12.49\00:03:15.19
that's why in
Revelation chapter 7
00:03:15.22\00:03:16.86
you have the Seal of God...
00:03:16.89\00:03:18.23
in Revelation 14, you
have the everlasting gospel.
00:03:18.26\00:03:20.10
The sealing of God's servants
00:03:20.13\00:03:22.06
and preaching the everlasting
gospel are synonymous,
00:03:22.10\00:03:24.27
they go together,
00:03:24.30\00:03:25.63
okay, so, here Paul
is... is breaking it down,
00:03:25.67\00:03:29.00
Revelation...
it's a beautiful book,
00:03:29.07\00:03:30.84
it's a powerful book
but it's a symbolic book
00:03:30.91\00:03:33.34
and it's really
difficult because it's like...
00:03:33.38\00:03:35.74
you have these words and phrases
that are highly symbolic,
00:03:35.78\00:03:38.15
and you have to open them
up, you have to break them up,
00:03:38.18\00:03:40.55
and get... unpack them...
00:03:40.58\00:03:42.32
that's what Paul is doing for us
on the Seal of God right here,
00:03:42.35\00:03:44.99
he's unpacking... he's
telling us how it all works,
00:03:45.05\00:03:47.19
it involves
hearing the Word of truth,
00:03:47.22\00:03:49.79
it involves the
gospel of salvation
00:03:49.82\00:03:52.33
and it involves the Holy
Spirit, now the Holy Spirit
00:03:52.39\00:03:55.26
is the third
person on the Godhead.
00:03:55.30\00:03:58.30
The Holy Spirit is God and
God created us in His image,
00:03:58.33\00:04:05.67
and God wants to
restore us to that image
00:04:05.74\00:04:09.58
so the process of restoration
00:04:09.61\00:04:12.41
is being settled back
into the truth of Jesus Christ,
00:04:12.45\00:04:15.98
Jesus Christ is the
way, the truth and the life.
00:04:16.02\00:04:17.79
As we're settling into
the truth of the gospel,
00:04:17.82\00:04:19.49
we are restored
to the image of God
00:04:19.52\00:04:21.26
in which we were created
00:04:21.29\00:04:22.62
and the ultimate
goal, of course, is love...
00:04:22.66\00:04:25.53
Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:04:25.56\00:04:26.90
James: and that love
is revealed in two ways
00:04:26.93\00:04:31.20
that Jesus Christ
identified in Matthew 22,
00:04:31.23\00:04:33.34
loving God with all our hearts
00:04:33.40\00:04:34.80
and loving our
neighbor as ourselves.
00:04:34.84\00:04:36.27
Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:04:36.30\00:04:37.64
James: So God says,
"I have these parameters,
00:04:37.67\00:04:39.11
I have these...
these principles,
00:04:39.14\00:04:40.64
these truths that I
want you to understand
00:04:40.68\00:04:42.14
and those truths
are the good news
00:04:42.21\00:04:44.08
of you being created in my image
00:04:44.11\00:04:45.71
and being
restored into that image
00:04:45.78\00:04:47.32
and if you believe that,
I'm going to seal you into that,
00:04:47.35\00:04:50.19
I'm going to seal
you... " how does it say here?
00:04:50.22\00:04:52.25
"I'm going to seal you...
00:04:52.29\00:04:53.62
you are sealed with
the Holy Spirit... "
00:04:53.66\00:04:56.09
the Holy Spirit is not
just this entity or whatever,
00:04:56.12\00:04:59.49
it's the actual
character of God,
00:04:59.56\00:05:01.30
it's the actual Law of God.
00:05:01.36\00:05:03.63
We are returned to the image
of God in the fact that we have
00:05:03.67\00:05:07.77
in the way that we
have the Law of God now
00:05:07.80\00:05:11.47
returned to our
character, we are like God,
00:05:11.51\00:05:14.71
we love God like
we were created to
00:05:14.74\00:05:17.25
and we love people
like we were created to
00:05:17.28\00:05:18.71
so the Law of God is actually
returned to our character
00:05:18.75\00:05:22.35
so this is the
work of the Holy Spirit.
00:05:22.38\00:05:24.62
Ivor: I think a good verse that
just amplifies the thought...
00:05:24.65\00:05:29.06
the Holy Spirit seals us,
it's found in Ezekiel chapter 36
00:05:29.09\00:05:33.46
Ezekiel chapter 36
then we're going to look at
00:05:33.50\00:05:37.40
verse 26 and verse 27,
00:05:37.43\00:05:39.57
in fact, we're going
to look at verse 25 to 27.
00:05:39.60\00:05:42.60
Yvonne: Did you say Ezekiel 36?
00:05:42.64\00:05:44.07
Ivor: Ezekiel 36 and maybe
one of you could read 25 to 27.
00:05:44.11\00:05:48.81
Jason: 25 to 27... okay,
00:05:48.84\00:05:51.91
"Then will I
sprinkle clean water upon you,
00:05:51.98\00:05:58.65
and you shall be clean:
from all your filthiness,
00:05:58.69\00:06:01.32
and from all your
idols, will I cleanse you.
00:06:01.36\00:06:03.36
A new heart
also will I give you,
00:06:03.39\00:06:05.79
and a new spirit
will I put within you:
00:06:05.83\00:06:08.00
and I will take away the
stony heart out of your flesh,
00:06:08.03\00:06:10.90
and I will give
you an heart of flesh.
00:06:10.97\00:06:13.74
And I will put my
spirit within you,
00:06:13.77\00:06:16.17
and cause you to
walk in my statutes,
00:06:16.20\00:06:18.54
and ye shall keep my
judgments, and do them. "
00:06:18.57\00:06:21.81
Ivor: Right, so, here
you have the Holy Spirit...
00:06:21.84\00:06:23.68
when the Holy Spirit
becomes a reality in our lives,
00:06:23.71\00:06:26.98
when the Holy Spirit
does its sealing work in us,
00:06:27.02\00:06:30.25
the purpose of it is that
we will walk in His statutes
00:06:30.29\00:06:33.99
and do them and keep them,
00:06:34.06\00:06:35.92
so there's this connection
between the Holy Spirit...
00:06:35.96\00:06:39.09
the Sealer...
the one who seals us
00:06:39.13\00:06:43.33
and what is He sealing?
00:06:43.37\00:06:44.93
He is writing on us the Law...
and where is the Law written?
00:06:44.97\00:06:49.27
It's written in the
heart, it's written in the mind
00:06:49.30\00:06:52.47
in fact, the New Covenant
says in the Book of Hebrews
00:06:52.51\00:06:55.64
chapter 8 and chapter 10
00:06:55.71\00:06:57.88
that I will write
my Law in your minds
00:06:57.91\00:07:00.98
and that's where we
find the Seal of God
00:07:01.02\00:07:03.79
placed upon the people
of God so, here's a very...
00:07:03.82\00:07:06.86
just an interesting...
interesting question...
00:07:06.89\00:07:09.92
the Covenant...
the New Covenant...
00:07:09.96\00:07:13.73
what is it also called?
00:07:13.76\00:07:15.10
In the Book of Revelation
14 it's called... what?
00:07:15.13\00:07:17.00
James and Ivor:
The everlasting gospel.
00:07:17.07\00:07:20.17
Ivor: Which means
that it lasts for how long?
00:07:20.20\00:07:23.61
Yvonne: Everlasting...
00:07:23.64\00:07:24.97
Ivor: And it has
existed... for how long?
00:07:25.01\00:07:26.81
All: Forever...
00:07:26.84\00:07:28.18
Ivor: So, if the
everlasting gospel is the...
00:07:28.21\00:07:33.21
the Law of God...
the New Covenant...
00:07:33.25\00:07:35.12
and the New
Covenant is everlasting
00:07:35.18\00:07:36.89
and the New
Covenant is the seal...
00:07:36.95\00:07:38.65
James: Okay...
00:07:38.69\00:07:40.02
Ivor: Right... then if it's the
seal then... then guess what?
00:07:40.06\00:07:44.19
Everyone who has ever
been under the New Covenant,
00:07:44.23\00:07:46.90
which by-the-way is the
only way you can get into the...
00:07:46.93\00:07:49.40
into the city of heaven
00:07:49.43\00:07:50.77
then anyone who has
received the New Covenant
00:07:50.80\00:07:53.34
and has lived their
life under the New Covenant,
00:07:53.37\00:07:56.04
has received what?
00:07:56.07\00:07:57.51
James: The
Seal... Ivor: The Seal...
00:07:57.54\00:07:58.87
so when we're talking
about the concept of the 144,000
00:07:58.91\00:08:03.04
sealed with the
Seal of the Living God,
00:08:03.08\00:08:05.71
we see the fact
that the 144,000...
00:08:05.75\00:08:07.98
really represent
the Great Multitude,
00:08:08.05\00:08:10.25
but the Great Multitude...
00:08:10.29\00:08:11.99
then the Great
Multitude are sealed...
00:08:12.05\00:08:14.69
and what are they sealed with?
00:08:14.72\00:08:16.06
They're sealed with
the everlasting gospel
00:08:16.09\00:08:18.99
which is not something
that just came on the scene,
00:08:19.03\00:08:22.03
like, right at
the close of time...
00:08:22.06\00:08:23.83
right... it's some
that has always been
00:08:23.87\00:08:26.60
and... and it's
interesting because
00:08:26.63\00:08:28.67
even if you go back
to the Old Testament
00:08:28.70\00:08:31.11
in the Book of Isaiah...
00:08:31.17\00:08:32.51
James: That's where I'm going
right now how did you know that?
00:08:32.54\00:08:34.51
Ivor: By the look in your eyes.
00:08:34.54\00:08:36.71
James: Chapter 56...
00:08:36.75\00:08:38.08
Ivor: Actually I was
going to chapter 8...
00:08:38.11\00:08:39.88
James: Oh... I was going to 56,
you were going to 8, we're good.
00:08:39.91\00:08:41.68
Ivor: Chapter 8 and verse 16.
00:08:41.72\00:08:43.22
James: You go to 8
and 16 and I'll go to 56.
00:08:43.25\00:08:45.15
Ivor: And let's say
what Isaiah 8 verse 16 says,
00:08:45.19\00:08:47.06
Isaiah chapter 8 verse 16,
00:08:47.09\00:08:53.06
but then I think we're going
to look at verse 20 as well.
00:08:53.09\00:08:56.43
Yvonne: "Bind up the testimony,
00:08:56.46\00:08:58.20
seal the law
among my disciples. "
00:08:58.23\00:09:00.37
Ivor: Okay, so that was
written in the Old Testament.
00:09:00.40\00:09:02.54
Ivor: "Bind up the testimony
00:09:02.60\00:09:04.31
seal the law among my disciples"
00:09:04.37\00:09:08.84
right, so when
we take those terms,
00:09:08.91\00:09:13.01
"testimony and law"
00:09:13.08\00:09:14.48
we go back to the
Book of Revelation
00:09:14.52\00:09:17.02
and what you find is
that same combination
00:09:17.05\00:09:19.29
God's people...
keeping the commandments of God
00:09:19.32\00:09:22.69
having the
testimony of Jesus Christ.
00:09:22.72\00:09:24.69
So, while the actual...
I see the sealing process
00:09:24.73\00:09:29.66
as actually beginning in
the Investigative Judgment.
00:09:29.70\00:09:34.54
Okay, so while God's people
in the past have lived by faith
00:09:34.57\00:09:40.08
looking forward to
receiving those white robes,
00:09:40.11\00:09:42.78
looking forward to
receiving the sealing,
00:09:42.81\00:09:45.48
the issue is this,
00:09:45.51\00:09:46.88
this, I think, is very
important for us to understand.
00:09:46.92\00:09:48.82
James: Okay.
00:09:48.85\00:09:50.19
Ivor: When the... the symbol
00:09:50.22\00:09:55.72
that you have made it through
the Investigative Judgment
00:09:55.76\00:09:57.99
is a white robe and the sealing,
00:09:58.03\00:10:01.46
in other words, the
sealing is, "You've passed"
00:10:01.50\00:10:04.90
and there's a
favorite book of mine
00:10:04.93\00:10:07.64
that has a very
powerful statement,
00:10:07.67\00:10:10.21
it says, "Only those who receive
the Seal of the living God
00:10:10.24\00:10:14.11
will be able to enter through
the gates into the city. "
00:10:14.18\00:10:16.64
James: Hmmm...
hmmm... hmmm... hmmm...
00:10:16.68\00:10:18.38
Ivor: So that
tells me... you know...
00:10:18.41\00:10:20.02
just... speaking of what it
takes to get into the city...
00:10:20.05\00:10:23.18
if you don't have the
Seal of God on your forehead
00:10:23.22\00:10:25.75
you do not have a
passport to enter the city
00:10:25.79\00:10:28.52
which means that
everyone who enters the city,
00:10:28.59\00:10:31.26
must have the seal or the
name of God in their foreheads.
00:10:31.29\00:10:36.06
James: Okay, so, I want to just
bring this out a little bit more
00:10:36.10\00:10:39.60
Isaiah 56 because...
there are a few words...
00:10:39.63\00:10:42.04
there are a few key
words that you've used...
00:10:42.10\00:10:44.47
in relation to this
seal, one of them is "covenant"
00:10:44.51\00:10:47.71
and that's a key word
that I think is in here
00:10:47.74\00:10:51.38
and the other
one is "everlasting"
00:10:51.41\00:10:52.85
and, of course, we understand
that the one we looked at
00:10:52.88\00:10:56.38
in Ephesians 1 is
"salvation or gospel"
00:10:56.42\00:10:58.79
so, I want us to read Isaiah 56
00:10:58.82\00:11:01.46
and I want us to
start reading at verse 1...
00:11:01.49\00:11:03.12
and all the way through verse 6.
00:11:03.19\00:11:05.39
Jason: Okay,
"Thus saith the LORD,
00:11:05.46\00:11:07.33
Keep ye
judgment, and do justice:
00:11:07.40\00:11:09.30
for my
salvation is near to come,
00:11:09.33\00:11:11.20
and my
righteousness to be revealed. "
00:11:11.23\00:11:13.03
James: Stop right
there, so we are talking...
00:11:13.07\00:11:15.17
right now... the
context of our subject
00:11:15.20\00:11:17.64
of what we're talking about
is salvation and righteousness,
00:11:17.67\00:11:20.44
okay... all
right... next verse...
00:11:20.48\00:11:22.48
Jason: "Blessed is
the man that doeth this
00:11:22.51\00:11:24.78
and the son of man
that layeth hold on it;
00:11:24.81\00:11:26.95
that keepeth the
Sabbath from polluting it,
00:11:26.98\00:11:29.22
and keepeth his hand
from doing any evil. "
00:11:29.25\00:11:31.42
James: Okay, now... now God
has connected with salvation
00:11:31.45\00:11:34.92
and righteousness...
He's connected the Sabbath,
00:11:34.99\00:11:37.39
all right...
00:11:37.43\00:11:38.76
Jason: "Neither let
the son of the stranger,
00:11:38.79\00:11:40.96
that hath joined himself
to the Lord, speak, saying,
00:11:41.00\00:11:43.80
The LORD hath utterly
separated me from his people:
00:11:43.83\00:11:47.54
neither let the eunuch
say, Behold, I am a dry tree.
00:11:47.57\00:11:51.17
For thus saith the LORD unto the
eunuchs that keep my Sabbaths,
00:11:51.21\00:11:55.41
and choose the
things that please me,
00:11:55.44\00:11:57.25
and take hold
of my covenant... "
00:11:57.28\00:11:58.98
James: Okay, now
let's stop right there,
00:11:59.01\00:12:01.45
now, we have... God
has brought in eunuchs
00:12:01.48\00:12:03.85
and strangers and foreigners,
people who aren't Jews,
00:12:03.89\00:12:05.92
He's brought
them in to salvation,
00:12:05.95\00:12:08.52
He's brought them
into righteousness
00:12:08.56\00:12:10.73
and He's brought
them into the covenant
00:12:10.76\00:12:12.89
and He's brought them
into keeping the Sabbath.
00:12:12.93\00:12:14.86
Yvonne: Hmmm...
hmmm... James: Verse 5...
00:12:14.90\00:12:18.33
Jason: Even unto them
will I give in mine house
00:12:18.40\00:12:22.70
and within my
walls a place and a name
00:12:22.74\00:12:24.87
better than of
sons and of daughters:
00:12:24.91\00:12:27.81
I will give them
an everlasting name,
00:12:27.84\00:12:30.71
that shall not be cut off. "
00:12:30.75\00:12:32.08
James: Okay, now we've
got that word, "everlasting"
00:12:32.11\00:12:33.55
we've got the
everlasting gospel,
00:12:33.62\00:12:34.95
we've got an everlasting
name, a name that lasts forever
00:12:34.98\00:12:37.49
this is in the
context again of the Sabbath,
00:12:37.52\00:12:39.82
of
righteousness, of the covenant,
00:12:39.85\00:12:41.66
all of it is there,
inclusive of strangers,
00:12:41.69\00:12:44.03
the everlasting gospel is to
every nation, kindred, tongue
00:12:44.06\00:12:46.49
and people... now
the last verse, verse 6.
00:12:46.53\00:12:48.30
Jason: "Also the
sons of the stranger,
00:12:48.33\00:12:49.83
that join themselves
to the Lord, to serve him,
00:12:49.86\00:12:52.10
and to love the
name of the LORD,
00:12:52.13\00:12:53.64
to be his servants,
00:12:53.67\00:12:55.17
every one that
keepeth the Sabbath
00:12:55.20\00:12:56.94
from polluting it, and
taketh hold of my covenant... "
00:12:56.97\00:12:59.34
James: Now here God
sums it up, He sums it up.
00:12:59.37\00:13:03.28
Ivor: Are you not
going to read verse 7?
00:13:03.31\00:13:04.71
James: No, I was
going to read verse 7,
00:13:04.75\00:13:06.11
okay, come bring it... I see...
I see it now, I see it now.
00:13:06.15\00:13:11.05
Ivor: I can't...
00:13:11.09\00:13:12.65
James: You can't?
really? Okay, I can do it.
00:13:12.72\00:13:15.29
Ivor: Even then...
will I bring where?
00:13:15.32\00:13:17.73
James and Yvonne:
"to my holy mountain... "
00:13:17.76\00:13:19.89
Yvonne: Oh... Ivor:
Where are the 144,000?
00:13:19.93\00:13:21.80
James: On Mount
Zion. Yvonne: Mount Zion.
00:13:21.83\00:13:23.40
Ivor: On Mount Zion...
on the sides of the north.
00:13:23.43\00:13:25.03
Yvonne: Hmmm... hmmm...
00:13:25.07\00:13:26.43
James: Yes, yes, you
see this? Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:13:26.50\00:13:27.84
James: Everyone is included,
it's covenant, it's salvation,
00:13:27.87\00:13:29.94
it's gospel, it's
an everlasting name,
00:13:29.97\00:13:31.61
everyone's included,
everyone's included in this,
00:13:31.64\00:13:34.04
this is the summation
00:13:34.08\00:13:35.44
of what we're
reading in Revelation
00:13:35.48\00:13:37.55
about the
sealing of God's people,
00:13:37.58\00:13:39.08
this is the
summation right here,
00:13:39.11\00:13:40.82
it's inclusive of
those who are Jews,
00:13:40.88\00:13:42.95
it's inclusive of
those who are not Jews,
00:13:42.98\00:13:45.02
everyone here is
being brought to this place
00:13:45.05\00:13:47.49
and it all centers
around the Sabbath,
00:13:47.52\00:13:49.62
why... why the Sabbath?
00:13:49.69\00:13:51.46
See, I want to
illustrate it this way,
00:13:51.49\00:13:53.23
this is us... this is us...
this is actually granola...
00:13:53.26\00:13:58.33
as an example, this
is an illustration...
00:13:58.40\00:14:00.57
this is us...
where we're created...
00:14:00.64\00:14:02.60
complete package... perfect...
00:14:02.64\00:14:04.24
God created us with
the complete package
00:14:04.31\00:14:06.88
and we're perfect
and there's nothing...
00:14:06.91\00:14:09.48
no fault in us whatsoever, now,
00:14:09.51\00:14:10.85
sin comes along
and sin rips us apart,
00:14:10.88\00:14:13.11
that's sin right
there... rips us apart,
00:14:13.15\00:14:15.35
exposes us to the
elements, okay, we're exposed,
00:14:15.38\00:14:18.09
if we stay in this
sinful state right here,
00:14:18.15\00:14:20.42
everything is
going to just perish...
00:14:20.46\00:14:23.26
it's just going to
rot, it's just going to...
00:14:23.29\00:14:24.99
it's just going
to get moldy and old,
00:14:25.03\00:14:26.39
it's just going to...
it's just going to perish...
00:14:26.43\00:14:27.83
but God has built
into His creation plan...
00:14:27.86\00:14:30.33
God has built into this
plan a re-seal... a seal...
00:14:30.37\00:14:34.64
Yvonne: hmmm...
00:14:34.67\00:14:36.00
James: A seal...
this is the seal of God,
00:14:36.04\00:14:37.77
okay, to seal us up
and Satan knows that...
00:14:37.84\00:14:39.54
so God is seeking to seal
up so that we don't perish...
00:14:39.57\00:14:42.74
He's seeking to
seal us into the truth
00:14:42.78\00:14:44.41
and the everlasting
gospel, the new covenant
00:14:44.45\00:14:46.08
which has to do with the
Sabbath so Satan comes along,
00:14:46.11\00:14:48.35
he says, "Oh, I'm going to
do something about that seal
00:14:48.38\00:14:50.52
I'm going to cut that
right out of there... "
00:14:50.55\00:14:52.85
let's get that out
of there... Satan says,
00:14:52.89\00:14:55.52
"and I'll give
them something else,
00:14:55.56\00:14:57.26
here, we'll put a
little clip on there... "
00:14:57.33\00:14:58.89
whoops!
00:14:58.93\00:15:00.26
"we'll put a
little clip on there... "
00:15:00.30\00:15:02.13
Ivor: That's what we need to put
Satan's clip... throw it away.
00:15:02.16\00:15:04.83
James: That's exactly right...
00:15:04.87\00:15:06.57
we'll put a little
clip on and there...
00:15:06.60\00:15:08.50
and this clip...
that will keep it fresh...
00:15:08.54\00:15:10.21
will that keep
it fresh by the way?
00:15:10.24\00:15:11.57
Yvonne: No... because air
is still getting in there.
00:15:11.61\00:15:13.71
James: And Satan
wants us to think
00:15:13.74\00:15:15.08
that that's
going to keep it fresh,
00:15:15.11\00:15:16.48
you see, he
wants us to think that
00:15:16.54\00:15:17.88
and God says,
"That's not going to work,
00:15:17.91\00:15:19.91
Satan has ripped this
open, he's caused the fall,
00:15:19.95\00:15:23.39
he has cut out my
seal, he's cut out the truth,
00:15:23.42\00:15:26.45
the everlasting gospel, the
Sabbath... he's cut that out
00:15:26.49\00:15:28.49
and he's just... he's changed
it okay, but I have a Plan B...
00:15:28.52\00:15:31.03
I have a Plan B... "
Yvonne: Come on... come on.
00:15:31.06\00:15:32.83
James: Here's a new man...
00:15:32.86\00:15:34.93
this is the
first Adam right here,
00:15:34.96\00:15:36.43
here's the second Adam, okay,
00:15:36.46\00:15:38.33
now, the second Adam
also had his top ripped off,
00:15:38.37\00:15:41.00
in other words, He
came in the likeness of man,
00:15:41.04\00:15:43.71
He came like us, okay,
00:15:43.74\00:15:46.34
the second Adam emptied himself,
00:15:46.37\00:15:48.21
He was filled with
divinity... He emptied Himself,
00:15:48.24\00:15:51.21
okay, so He empties Himself,
00:15:51.25\00:15:53.15
He comes in the
likeness of sinful flesh,
00:15:53.18\00:15:55.62
Romans chapter 8 verse 3
00:15:55.68\00:15:57.02
but He opens Himself
up to all of our pain,
00:15:57.05\00:15:59.69
all of our suffering... all
of the elements of the world,
00:15:59.72\00:16:01.79
He opens Himself up and He says,
00:16:01.82\00:16:03.69
"You know what?
You need to come to me
00:16:03.73\00:16:05.33
and you need to be in
Christ and if you accept me
00:16:05.36\00:16:08.96
and if you unite with
me... white horse rider,
00:16:09.00\00:16:12.57
and you'll be a part
of me and abide in me...
00:16:12.60\00:16:16.10
come into the
truth, accept the truth,
00:16:16.14\00:16:18.67
you can be new
creatures in Christ
00:16:18.71\00:16:21.14
and you can be 'sealed
up' and you will not perish. "
00:16:21.18\00:16:26.01
"For God so loved the world that
He gave His only begotten Son
00:16:26.05\00:16:27.88
so whoever believes in Him
00:16:27.92\00:16:29.25
should not perish but
have everlasting life... "
00:16:29.28\00:16:31.29
you could be
sealed up into the truth
00:16:31.32\00:16:33.39
and this is the work
that's happening in Revelation 7
00:16:33.42\00:16:36.29
God wants us to come to
Christ, Ephesians chapter 1,
00:16:36.32\00:16:39.16
accept the gospel
and let the Holy Spirit
00:16:39.19\00:16:41.86
seal us up into truth... and the
way we're sealed to that truth
00:16:41.90\00:16:45.80
in Isaiah 56 says,
"through the Sabbath. "
00:16:45.83\00:16:48.60
Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:16:48.64\00:16:49.97
James: Why the Sabbath?
How does the Sabbath relate?
00:16:50.01\00:16:52.81
It's in the gospel and
being sealed into the truth.
00:16:52.84\00:16:55.74
Ivor: I want to
take a couple of moments
00:16:55.78\00:16:57.85
to answer that
question specifically
00:16:57.88\00:16:59.75
because I think this is
crucial and I do that...
00:16:59.78\00:17:02.02
I just want to take you
guys to a couple of verses,
00:17:02.05\00:17:04.25
I'll probably just
quote a couple of them
00:17:04.29\00:17:05.99
but Hebrews chapter 4 verse 9,
00:17:06.02\00:17:09.79
the Bible says there,
00:17:09.82\00:17:11.56
"There remaineth therefore
a rest to the people of God,"
00:17:11.59\00:17:15.13
okay, I've the Greek word
here is the word Sabbatismós
00:17:15.16\00:17:19.80
that word...
rest... and it means,
00:17:19.83\00:17:22.80
"the repose of Christianity...
a Sabbatism or a type of heaven"
00:17:22.84\00:17:27.34
a type of rest, okay,
00:17:27.38\00:17:29.11
so it's interesting that
the Bible uses this word,
00:17:29.14\00:17:33.05
"Sabbatismós" to
describe what heaven is like,
00:17:33.08\00:17:36.08
okay, heaven... when you think
about the Children of Israel,
00:17:36.15\00:17:39.65
Paul is speaking
here in the context of,
00:17:39.69\00:17:41.69
"Look, Children of Israel...
00:17:41.72\00:17:43.19
left captivity and
entered into a land of rest... "
00:17:43.22\00:17:46.13
we too are looking to
enter into a land of rest,
00:17:46.16\00:17:48.96
the reason why God described
this as a land of rest...
00:17:49.03\00:17:52.27
I'm going to read it, you
have, 2nd Chronicles 14 verse 6,
00:17:52.30\00:17:55.50
the Bible says, "He
built fenced cities in Judah:
00:17:55.54\00:17:58.87
for the land had rest,
and had no war in those years;
00:17:58.91\00:18:02.04
because the Lord
had given him rest. "
00:18:02.08\00:18:04.41
James: Okay,
that's 2nd Chronicles...?
00:18:04.45\00:18:06.58
Ivor: Yes, 2nd Chronicles 14:6
00:18:06.61\00:18:07.98
for a land to be at
rest, there's no war,
00:18:08.02\00:18:09.82
everything is in
peace and harmony
00:18:09.85\00:18:12.32
so that's what
heaven's like but guess what?
00:18:12.35\00:18:16.89
Lucifer, in heaven,
decided to start a war
00:18:16.93\00:18:21.40
so what did he break in heaven?
The state of Sabbatismós...
00:18:21.43\00:18:27.20
he broke the "rest" of heaven...
00:18:27.24\00:18:29.54
James: Connection...
you get that connection?
00:18:29.57\00:18:31.31
Ivor: War... war now
comes to heaven, okay,
00:18:31.34\00:18:34.28
so what was Lucifer's war?
00:18:34.31\00:18:36.28
Lucifer said that I can
be like the Most High...
00:18:36.34\00:18:39.81
now is that a good
thing or a bad thing?
00:18:39.85\00:18:41.98
Yvonne: That's a bad thing.
00:18:42.02\00:18:43.79
James: It depends
how you're looking at it.
00:18:43.85\00:18:45.35
Jason: In this
case it was a bad thing.
00:18:45.39\00:18:46.79
James: Yeah, we want to be like
Jesus, we want to be like God.
00:18:46.86\00:18:48.19
Ivor: Do you want to
be like the Most High,
00:18:48.22\00:18:49.56
do you want to be
like the Most High?
00:18:49.59\00:18:50.96
Jason: Yeah... Yvonne: Yes.
Ivor: Okay, we all want to be...
00:18:50.99\00:18:52.93
in fact Jesus says, "Be
like your Father in heaven"
00:18:52.96\00:18:55.20
so there's nothing wrong with
wanting to be like the Most High
00:18:55.23\00:18:58.13
but Lucifer's argument was,
00:18:58.17\00:19:00.47
"I can be like the Most High
00:19:00.50\00:19:02.07
in my own way... " James: Yes.
00:19:02.10\00:19:04.21
Ivor: "I don't need a Law
00:19:04.24\00:19:05.57
dictating to me how to
be like the Most High,"
00:19:05.61\00:19:08.01
so what would we call that?
00:19:08.04\00:19:09.38
We would call
that... self-sanctification.
00:19:09.41\00:19:12.15
James: Hmmm...
hmmm... Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:19:12.18\00:19:15.02
Ivor: "I can sanctify myself,
00:19:15.05\00:19:16.38
I don't need God telling
me what to do with my life...
00:19:16.42\00:19:19.05
I can sanctify myself... "
00:19:19.09\00:19:22.02
and in doing this, he had
broken the state of Sabbatismós,
00:19:22.06\00:19:25.29
okay, so here's
what's interesting,
00:19:25.33\00:19:27.33
when God creates Adam and Eve,
He gives them... after six days
00:19:27.36\00:19:33.40
the Bible says, "He
rested on the seventh... "
00:19:33.44\00:19:35.57
it's as though He
gives them the Sabbath,
00:19:35.60\00:19:39.01
it's as though in that Sabbath
00:19:39.07\00:19:40.54
He was giving
them a slice of heaven,
00:19:40.58\00:19:42.61
He was saying,
"Listen, this Sabbath is a sign
00:19:42.64\00:19:45.71
that earth is in harmony
with the Government of heaven...
00:19:45.75\00:19:49.32
with the Government of heaven. "
00:19:49.35\00:19:50.69
So, when Adam and...
now check this out...
00:19:50.72\00:19:53.22
go with me to Ezekiel
chapter 20 and verse 12,
00:19:53.25\00:19:55.86
Ezekiel 20 verse 12
and verse 20 as well,
00:19:55.89\00:19:59.59
so Jason, why
don't you read verse 12,
00:19:59.63\00:20:03.33
and Yvonne, why
don't you read verse 20.
00:20:03.37\00:20:06.27
Yvonne: Okay.
Jason: Ezekiel 20 verse 12.
00:20:06.30\00:20:09.14
Ivor: Because we're going to see
why God gives Adam the Sabbath.
00:20:09.20\00:20:14.41
Jason: Okay, "Moreover
also I gave them my Sabbaths,
00:20:14.44\00:20:21.95
to be a sign
between me and them,
00:20:21.98\00:20:23.82
that they might know that I am
the Lord that sanctify them. "
00:20:23.85\00:20:27.06
Ivor: Okay, and verse 20...
00:20:27.09\00:20:28.69
Yvonne: Verse 20...
"And hallow my Sabbaths;
00:20:28.72\00:20:31.73
and they shall be a
sign between me and you,
00:20:31.76\00:20:34.76
that you may know that
I am the Lord your God. "
00:20:34.80\00:20:37.80
Ivor: Okay, so in
verse 12... God says,
00:20:37.83\00:20:42.14
"Keep the Sabbath
because it is a sign to you
00:20:42.20\00:20:45.54
that you may know
that I sanctify you,
00:20:45.57\00:20:50.38
you don't sanctify yourself,
00:20:50.41\00:20:52.18
don't make the same
mistake Lucifer made in heaven,
00:20:52.21\00:20:55.78
I sanctified you,
I sanctified you... "
00:20:55.82\00:20:59.35
so this whole...
that Sabbath was the...
00:20:59.42\00:21:02.62
was the symbol... the sign
against self-sanctification
00:21:02.66\00:21:08.13
so God says, "How
do I sanctify you?"
00:21:08.16\00:21:10.43
I mean, that's the question,
how does God sanctify us?
00:21:10.47\00:21:13.54
what is the... why is
the Sabbath the symbol
00:21:13.57\00:21:15.97
of sanctification by God?
00:21:16.00\00:21:18.94
Because God says, "Look,
I do it you don't do it. "
00:21:18.97\00:21:22.44
"But Lord, what do
you want me to do?"
00:21:22.48\00:21:24.08
"I just want you to rest... "
00:21:24.15\00:21:25.78
James: Hmmm...
hmmm... Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:21:25.81\00:21:28.78
Ivor: "But Lord, there's
got to be something I can do?"
00:21:28.82\00:21:30.95
James: "Martha, Martha...
" Ivor: "don't do anything,
00:21:30.99\00:21:32.85
I just want you to rest. "
00:21:32.89\00:21:35.62
"Rest?"
00:21:35.66\00:21:37.16
"Yeah, yeah, come unto me,
00:21:37.19\00:21:38.69
all ye that labour
and are heavy laden,
00:21:38.73\00:21:41.83
and I'm going to
teach you how to rest. "
00:21:41.86\00:21:44.13
"But Lord, what does
that mean 'to rest'?"
00:21:44.17\00:21:46.37
He says, "Look... "
00:21:46.40\00:21:47.74
"What do you want me to
do? What do you want...?"
00:21:47.77\00:21:49.17
"I don't want you to do
anything... I just want you...
00:21:49.20\00:21:52.17
there are things that
I don't want you to do,
00:21:52.21\00:21:53.78
I just want you to rest so
don't lie... rest from lying
00:21:53.81\00:22:00.02
cease... just
stop... just rest...
00:22:00.05\00:22:02.45
rest from murder,
00:22:02.48\00:22:04.49
rest from
committing adultery... "
00:22:04.52\00:22:06.49
in other words, the
rest that He calls us to...
00:22:06.55\00:22:09.06
is the
abstaining from the things
00:22:09.12\00:22:10.93
that we once did
and how do we do that?
00:22:10.99\00:22:12.33
He says, "Look, don't
do anything... just rest,
00:22:12.36\00:22:14.46
come unto me, I
will give you rest. "
00:22:14.50\00:22:16.87
So, Sabbath now
becomes the symbol
00:22:16.90\00:22:19.23
that I've learned what
it means to rest in Christ
00:22:19.27\00:22:23.67
not trusting in my own merits
00:22:23.71\00:22:25.71
but trusting in what He
00:22:25.74\00:22:28.44
will do through me.
James: Hmmm... hmmm...
00:22:28.48\00:22:30.65
Ivor: He sanctifies
me through this rest
00:22:30.68\00:22:32.78
so guess what, when you ask,
00:22:32.81\00:22:34.18
"What do we do... to
be a part of the 144,000?"
00:22:34.22\00:22:37.09
God says, "Just rest,
00:22:37.12\00:22:38.45
let me do the work
you're going to do...
00:22:38.49\00:22:41.76
let me do what I'm
going to do, you just rest. "
00:22:41.79\00:22:44.26
James: Hmmm... Yvonne: Yes.
00:22:44.33\00:22:45.66
Ivor: So, the devil
challenges us... to not rest.
00:22:45.69\00:22:47.53
"Come on we got to do
something, do something. "
00:22:47.56\00:22:49.90
"No, rest... " I'd
like to say it this way,
00:22:49.93\00:22:52.20
the Ten Commandments... if
you look up the Ten Commandments
00:22:52.23\00:22:54.27
all of them are about rest,
00:22:54.30\00:22:56.74
"stop from doing
this, stop doing that,
00:22:56.77\00:22:59.81
cease, cease,
cease, cease, cease... "
00:22:59.84\00:23:02.78
everyone of them,
so when someone says,
00:23:02.81\00:23:04.58
"The commandments
talk about works... "
00:23:04.61\00:23:06.31
I'm like, "No, the
Commandments are about rest. "
00:23:06.35\00:23:09.78
Yvonne: Hmmm... James: Hmmm...
00:23:09.82\00:23:11.15
Ivor: They're all about rest,
00:23:11.19\00:23:12.52
this is what the
Sabbath is about.
00:23:12.55\00:23:14.16
A people who have
learned to rest in Christ.
00:23:14.19\00:23:17.13
James: And I love that because
00:23:17.16\00:23:18.49
that takes us
back to Creation Week.
00:23:18.53\00:23:20.10
Ivor: Yes.
00:23:20.13\00:23:21.46
James: In Creation Week,
00:23:21.50\00:23:22.83
God created this
Planet in six days,
00:23:22.86\00:23:25.57
now notice that
mankind was not created
00:23:25.60\00:23:28.70
on the first or the second
or the third or the fourth
00:23:28.74\00:23:30.54
or the fifth day, we
were created on the last day
00:23:30.57\00:23:33.04
and the first thing God
said to us was, "Rest... "
00:23:33.07\00:23:35.41
we're like, "but wait a minute,
isn't there something we can do
00:23:35.44\00:23:38.78
like, "can we help
you with that tree?"
00:23:38.81\00:23:41.28
there was nothing we could
point to where we could say,
00:23:41.32\00:23:45.25
"God and I did that
together" you know...
00:23:45.29\00:23:47.09
"He did the trunk,
I did the branches,
00:23:47.12\00:23:48.92
He did the fruit,
I did the leaves... "
00:23:48.96\00:23:50.29
in other words... He did
everything but He did it for us
00:23:50.33\00:23:52.93
and He asked us to rest in it,
00:23:52.96\00:23:54.63
now notice how this
transitions to re-creation,
00:23:54.66\00:23:56.80
the Sabbath Commandment
in Creation called us to rest
00:23:56.83\00:24:01.04
in everything God
did for us without us.
00:24:01.07\00:24:03.84
Yvonne: Hmmm...
00:24:03.87\00:24:05.71
James: Okay,
when we're re-created,
00:24:05.74\00:24:07.78
God knows there's nothing
we can do... to re-create us,
00:24:07.81\00:24:10.95
so He comes... Second Adam...
00:24:10.98\00:24:13.28
He's empty... and He comes...
00:24:13.31\00:24:15.52
empties Himself
and comes like a man,
00:24:15.58\00:24:17.05
He comes to this earth
and He... the Bible says,
00:24:17.09\00:24:20.16
"He lived a perfect life...
" we didn't help Him do that,
00:24:20.19\00:24:23.12
in fact, if
anything, we hindered Him...
00:24:23.19\00:24:24.53
and then He died for our sins
00:24:24.56\00:24:27.63
what day did He
die on? All: Sixth day.
00:24:27.66\00:24:30.00
James: Sixth day... just
like the day we were created,
00:24:30.03\00:24:32.47
He's now dying on
the very day of Creation
00:24:32.50\00:24:35.27
so this is now an
act of re-creation
00:24:35.30\00:24:37.31
and what did He say
when He created this world
00:24:37.34\00:24:40.08
on the sixth day?
Ivor: It is finished.
00:24:40.11\00:24:41.44
James: It is finished...
00:24:41.48\00:24:42.81
What did He say when He
hung on the cross on Friday?
00:24:42.84\00:24:44.65
"It... " what's
finished? what's finished?
00:24:44.71\00:24:47.48
The work of the
Creation is finished,
00:24:47.52\00:24:49.02
so what did He do on the 7th
day when He created the world?
00:24:49.05\00:24:52.65
All: Rested.
00:24:52.69\00:24:54.02
James: What did
He do on the 7th day
00:24:54.06\00:24:55.59
after He
re-created the world in us?
00:24:55.62\00:24:56.96
All: Rested...
00:24:56.99\00:24:58.33
James: Rested on the 7th day,
00:24:58.36\00:24:59.69
so when we keep the
Sabbath we're reminded,
00:24:59.73\00:25:01.60
everything Christ
has done for us...
00:25:01.63\00:25:03.73
lived a perfect
life... died for our sins,
00:25:03.77\00:25:05.63
we're reminded
everything He did for us
00:25:05.67\00:25:07.50
just like Creation... without us
00:25:07.54\00:25:08.94
so, we're resting in Christ.
00:25:08.97\00:25:10.34
Ivor: And not only
that... but what He does in us
00:25:10.37\00:25:11.91
because you know what?
00:25:11.94\00:25:13.27
If you look at
the Creation Week,
00:25:13.31\00:25:14.81
it is the exact method and
plan by which He re-creates us,
00:25:14.84\00:25:19.21
we all start out in darkness...
without void and empty.
00:25:19.25\00:25:22.48
James: Bring it... bring it.
00:25:22.52\00:25:24.32
Ivor: Guess what?
Yvonne: Oh... come on now.
00:25:24.35\00:25:25.72
Ivor: The Holy Spirit moves
and says, "Let there be light"
00:25:25.75\00:25:27.99
and suddenly we're
like, "Whoa! whoa!"
00:25:28.02\00:25:30.63
You know what I'm saying?
The Spirit of God moves upon us
00:25:30.69\00:25:33.23
and then He draws
us out of the waters,
00:25:33.26\00:25:36.77
and he brings forth
new fruit, day three,
00:25:36.80\00:25:40.24
and then He gives us a
new light to be guided by,
00:25:40.27\00:25:43.30
and you go through the process,
00:25:43.37\00:25:45.74
He calls us to be fishers of men
00:25:45.77\00:25:48.08
and then He says,
"Look, when the work is done,
00:25:48.11\00:25:50.85
I've re-made you in my image,
now rest, you're sealed... "
00:25:50.88\00:25:55.72
and that's what...
00:25:55.78\00:25:57.55
we want to move from Day one...
00:25:57.59\00:25:59.22
that's the process of...
that's the... that's the battle,
00:25:59.25\00:26:01.82
Satan's trying to
move us back in time,
00:26:01.86\00:26:03.69
God's trying to move us
into the 7th day to seal us,
00:26:03.73\00:26:06.66
so that He could come
and redeem a perfect...
00:26:06.70\00:26:08.80
a perfected people.
00:26:08.83\00:26:10.17
Yvonne: Wow! James: And this...
00:26:10.23\00:26:11.57
Yvonne: You guys
are giving me chills...
00:26:11.60\00:26:12.93
because this is wonderful.
00:26:12.97\00:26:14.30
James: It is and this is what
it means, Ephesians chapter 4,
00:26:14.34\00:26:16.10
this kind of sums up, Ephesians
chapter 4 verse 30 says,
00:26:16.14\00:26:18.84
"And grieve not
the holy Spirit of God,
00:26:18.87\00:26:22.24
whereby you are sealed
unto the day of redemption. "
00:26:22.28\00:26:25.21
So we don't want to
grieve the work of God,
00:26:25.25\00:26:27.72
it's what we said
in the last program,
00:26:27.78\00:26:29.12
I don't know if you
remember us saying this,
00:26:29.15\00:26:31.45
but we said, "My part
is not to do all the work,
00:26:31.49\00:26:33.89
my part is not to
grieve the Holy Spirit of God,
00:26:33.92\00:26:35.86
my part is to abide in Jesus,
my part is to look and live,
00:26:35.89\00:26:38.73
my part is to rest...
just to rest in Him... "
00:26:38.76\00:26:41.00
Ivor: And James... to
rest is to be settled.
00:26:41.06\00:26:43.06
When you say, "Settle
down... settle down... "
00:26:43.10\00:26:45.17
the sealing is a "settling... "
00:26:45.20\00:26:48.07
James: Settling into the
truth of intellectually and
00:26:48.10\00:26:52.17
spiritually... so
we cannot be moved.
00:26:52.21\00:26:53.84
James: We're settled... voom...
00:26:53.88\00:26:55.21
Yvonne: Settled...
rooted... anchored...
00:26:55.24\00:26:56.85
James: Yes, it's
beautiful... it's powerful truth
00:26:56.88\00:26:59.18
so, we are out of time
again, but we did cover the Seal
00:26:59.21\00:27:03.59
it's good stuff, you got it...
00:27:03.62\00:27:06.19
Jason: We're
like... we went to church.
00:27:06.22\00:27:07.82
Yvonne: Laughing...
that's good stuff right there.
00:27:07.86\00:27:11.26
James: Yeah, well, we're going
to church in the next program,
00:27:11.29\00:27:13.56
that's for sure. Yvonne: Yes.
00:27:13.60\00:27:15.56
James: We'll see what we got,
00:27:15.63\00:27:16.97
all right, so we need to
close out with a word of prayer
00:27:17.00\00:27:19.03
but before we do
that, what do we do
00:27:19.07\00:27:20.67
and what are we telling people?
00:27:20.70\00:27:22.24
Jason: We need people
to submit their questions
00:27:22.30\00:27:24.31
to sss@3abn. org
00:27:24.34\00:27:27.28
Yvonne: And they can
submit video questions,
00:27:27.31\00:27:29.61
I mean it could be...
00:27:29.64\00:27:30.98
James: Oh really?
And we could play them?
00:27:31.01\00:27:32.35
We could play them...
Yvonne: Yeah... we could.
00:27:32.38\00:27:33.72
James: Like... "Hey, this is
so-and-so from so-and-so... "
00:27:33.75\00:27:35.08
Yvonne: Yeah, that's right.
00:27:35.12\00:27:36.45
James: "I got a question
you guys haven't answered... "
00:27:36.48\00:27:38.19
Yvonne: That's right, e-mail
or video questions, either one.
00:27:38.22\00:27:40.46
James: All right...
Yvonne, pray is out please.
00:27:40.49\00:27:42.72
Yvonne: "Father
God, thank you so much,
00:27:42.76\00:27:45.09
oh, we just praise you
Lord, thank you for the rest...
00:27:45.13\00:27:47.53
thank you for the
sealing, thank you for...
00:27:47.56\00:27:50.17
just... your love
Lord, we praise your name,
00:27:50.20\00:27:52.57
in Jesus' name... amen. "
00:27:52.60\00:27:54.27
All: "Amen... amen. "
00:27:54.30\00:27:56.44
James: So we are
going to continue
00:27:56.47\00:27:58.41
in the Book of
Revelation. Yvonne: Amen.
00:27:58.44\00:27:59.77
James: It's going to be
good, it's going to be good.
00:27:59.81\00:28:01.14
Yvonne: Good...
00:28:01.18\00:28:02.51
