00:02:03.75\00:02:10.36
AS YOU KNOW, I LOVE TO SING AND
I AM A HYMN GIRL THROUGH ALL THE
00:02:10.36\00:02:15.23
YEARS, AND SO, I LOVE WHEN WE
CAN GET TOGETHER AND WORSHIP GOD
00:02:15.23\00:02:19.87
IN SONG WITH THESE HYMNS.
THIS MORNING WE'RE GOING TO SING
00:02:19.87\00:02:23.20
HYMN #295 - CHIEF OF SINNERS
- 'THOUGH I BE, JESUS SHED HIS
00:02:23.20\00:02:28.64
BLOOD FOR ME.' WE'RE GOING TO
SING ALL THREE VERSES, SO PULL
00:02:28.64\00:02:31.65
OUT YOUR HYMNALS AT HOME
AND SING ALONG WITH US - #295.
00:02:31.65\00:02:35.62
(PIANO MUSIC) >>CHIEF
OF SINNERS THOUGH I BE,
00:02:35.62\00:02:48.56
JESUS SHED HIS BLOOD FOR ME;
DIED THAT I MIGHT LIVE ON HIGH,
00:02:48.56\00:02:57.51
DIED THAT I MIGHT NEVER DIE; AS
THE BRANCH IS TO THE VINE, I AM
00:02:57.51\00:03:08.28
HIS, AND HE IS MINE. O
THE HEIGHT OF JESUS' LOVE!
00:03:08.28\00:03:17.86
HIGHER THAN THE HEAVEN ABOVE,
DEEPER THAN THE DEEPEST SEA,
00:03:17.86\00:03:27.14
LASTING AS ETERNITY; LOVE
THAT FOUND ME; WONDROUS THOUGHT!
00:03:27.14\00:03:36.38
FOUND ME WHEN I SOUGHT HIM NOT!
CHIEF OF SINNERS THOUGH I BE,
00:03:36.38\00:03:47.09
CHRIST IS ALL IN ALL TO ME; ALL
MY WANTS TO HIM ARE KNOWN, ALL
00:03:47.09\00:03:57.30
MY SORROWS ARE HIS OWN; SAFE
WITH HIM FROM EARTHLY STRIFE,
00:03:57.30\00:04:05.94
HE SUSTAINS THE HIDDEN LIFE.
>>I AM SO GRATEFUL THAT WE HAVE
00:04:05.94\00:04:15.78
A SAVIOR THAT
KNOWS ALL OF OUR STRIFE.
00:04:15.78\00:04:18.25
HE KNOWS ALL OF OUR WANTS, OUR
NEEDS, OUR TEARS, AND HE STANDS
00:04:18.25\00:04:22.09
BY US EVERY SINGLE
MINUTE OF EVERY SINGLE DAY.
00:04:22.09\00:04:25.66
AND IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW WE
FEEL, IT'S A KNOWING THAT HE IS
00:04:25.66\00:04:28.96
THERE. PRAISE THE LORD.
HYMN #50 - ABIDE WITH ME - MY
00:04:28.96\00:04:33.50
FAVORITE HYMN IN
THE WHOLE HYMNAL.
00:04:33.50\00:04:35.57

SPECIAL TREAT BECAUSE WE HAVE A

00:04:48.35\00:04:51.19
ABIDE WITH ME -
HYMN #50. (PIANO MUSIC)
00:04:51.19\00:04:58.39
>>ABIDE WITH ME;
FAST FALLS THE EVEN TIDE;
00:04:58.39\00:05:10.84
THE DARKNESS
DEEPENS; LORD WITH ME ABIDE!
00:05:10.84\00:05:23.82
WHEN OTHER HELPERS FAIL,
AND COMFORTS FLEE, HELP OF THE
00:05:23.82\00:05:39.37
HELPLESS, O ABIDE WITH ME!
SWIFT TO ITS CLOSE EBBS OUT
00:05:39.37\00:05:57.15
LIFE'S LITTLE DAY; EARTH'S JOYS
GROW DIM, ITS GLORIES PASS AWAY;
00:05:57.15\00:06:15.00
CHANGE AND DECAY IN ALL AROUND
I SEE; O THOU, WHO CHANGEST
00:06:15.00\00:06:31.75
NOT, ABIDE WITH ME! (HARP MUSIC)
00:06:31.75\00:07:34.85
>>I FEAR NO FOE, WITH
THEE AT HAND TO BLESS; ILLS
00:07:34.85\00:07:49.26
HAVE NO WEIGHT, AND TEARS
NO BITTERNESS: WHERE IS DEATH'S
00:07:49.26\00:08:04.51
STING? WHERE,
GRAVE, THY VICTORY?
00:08:04.51\00:08:14.26
I TRIUMPH STILL IF
THOU ABIDE WITH ME!
00:08:14.26\00:08:34.48
>>I PRAY THAT THAT IS YOUR
PRAYER TODAY - THAT YOU'RE JUST
00:08:34.48\00:08:36.68
CONSTANTLY, CONSTANTLY ABIDING
IN CHRIST UNTIL HIS COMING.
00:08:36.68\00:08:40.95
AT THIS TIME, PASTOR
ROSS WILL HAVE PRAYER.
00:08:40.95\00:08:53.19
>>I INVITE YOU TO BOW YOUR
HEADS AS WE BEGIN WITH PRAYER.
00:08:53.19\00:08:55.86
DEAR FATHER, ONCE AGAIN WE ARE
GRATEFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO
00:08:55.86\00:08:58.30
GATHER TOGETHER TO STUDY YOUR
WORD, AND LORD WE ASK THAT THE
00:08:58.30\00:09:01.00
HOLY SPIRIT WOULD COME AND
GUIDE OUR HEARTS AND OUR MINDS.
00:09:01.00\00:09:04.01
AS WE LOOK AT THE ROLE OF THE
CHURCH IN THE COMMUNITY - HOW WE
00:09:04.01\00:09:07.08
OUGHT TO BE THAT CITY ON A HILL
- THAT LIGHT SHINING FORTH IN
00:09:07.08\00:09:10.21
THE DARKNESS, SHARING THE GOOD
NEWS OF SALVATION AND LIFTING UP
00:09:10.21\00:09:13.95
JESUS. I PRAY
THAT YOU WOULD GUIDE US
00:09:13.95\00:09:15.58
AND HELP US TO SEE WHAT WE CAN
DO IN THIS GREAT WORK OF SHARING
00:09:15.58\00:09:19.52
GOOD NEWS WITH THE
WORLD. THANK YOU FOR YOUR
00:09:19.52\00:09:22.26
PROMISE TO BE WITH
US. IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN.
00:09:22.26\00:09:25.46
OUR LESSON TODAY WILL BE
BROUGHT TO US BY PASTOR DOUG.
00:09:25.46\00:09:30.10
>>GOOD MORNING, FRIENDS.
HAPPY SABBATH. HOW IS EVERYBODY?
00:09:30.10\00:09:34.77
AND WE'RE GETTING READY, NOW,
TO DIVE INTO THIS NEW QUARTERLY
00:09:34.77\00:09:37.94
DEALING WITH THE ROLE OF
THE CHURCH IN THE COMMUNITY.
00:09:37.94\00:09:41.54
AND I'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH
THE VARIOUS CHAPTERS AND, IF YOU
00:09:41.54\00:09:44.85
JUST GO TO THE CONTENTS IN THIS
LESSON, YOU'LL SEE IT'S - A LOT
00:09:44.85\00:09:49.12
OF IT IS DRAWN FROM A STATEMENT
- IT TALKS ABOUT JESUS - CHAPTER
00:09:49.12\00:09:54.12
6 - MINGLED WITH THE PEOPLE,
DESIRED THEIR GOOD, SHOWED
00:09:54.12\00:09:57.99
SYMPATHY, MINISTERED TO THEIR
NEEDS, WON THEIR CONFIDENCE,
00:09:57.99\00:10:01.93
BADE THEM 'FOLLOW ME.' AND
THERE'S A STATEMENT RIGHT THERE
00:10:01.93\00:10:06.33
THAT SOME OF YOU RECOGNIZE
FROM THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY THAT
00:10:06.33\00:10:09.40
TALKS ABOUT CHRIST'S METHOD
ALONE - THE MOST EFFECTIVE
00:10:09.40\00:10:12.64
METHOD OF EVANGELISM. AND
SO, THAT'S ALL BROKEN DOWN
00:10:12.64\00:10:16.21
IN EXPLORING THE ROLE OF
THE CHURCH IN THE COMMUNITY.
00:10:16.21\00:10:21.65
AND I WANT TO WELCOME OUR
EXTENDED MEMBERS OF THE GRANITE
00:10:21.65\00:10:25.72
BAY CHURCH AND OUR
SABBATH SCHOOL CLASS.
00:10:25.72\00:10:28.19
GREETINGS. WE KNOW
WE'VE GOT FRIENDS FROM
00:10:28.19\00:10:29.86
AROUND THE WORLD THAT WATCH AND
WE'RE GOING TO GET INTO LESSON
00:10:29.86\00:10:33.93
#1 TODAY, DEALING WITH
THE RESTORATION OF ALL THINGS.
00:10:33.93\00:10:38.40
AND WE HAVE A MEMORY VERSE - THE
MEMORY VERSE COMES FROM GENESIS
00:10:38.40\00:10:41.87
1:27 - GENESIS 1:27 - AND IT'S
RIGHT THERE IN YOUR QUARTERLY,
00:10:41.87\00:10:47.01
YOU CAN QUOTE IT
RIGHT OUT OF THERE.
00:10:47.01\00:10:48.24
ARE YOU READY TO SAY IT WITH ME?
"SO GOD CREATED MANKIND IN HIS
00:10:48.24\00:10:54.15
OWN IMAGE, IN THE IMAGE OF
GOD HE CREATED THEM; MALE AND
00:10:54.15\00:10:59.62
FEMALE HE CREATED
THEM." AND THAT'S GENESIS 1:27.
00:10:59.62\00:11:06.19
NOW, WHEN WE SAY, RIGHT HERE
IN THE VERY INTRODUCTION IN THE
00:11:06.19\00:11:09.90
LESSON, IT'S CALLED THE
RESTORATION OF ALL THINGS .
00:11:09.90\00:11:12.90
WHAT'S IMPLIED IN
THE WORD 'RESTORATION'?
00:11:12.90\00:11:19.07
DO YOU RESTORE
SOMETHING IN GOOD SHAPE?
00:11:19.07\00:11:22.21
DO YOU BUY A BRAND-NEW
MERCEDES SO YOU CAN RESTORE IT?
00:11:22.21\00:11:25.58
OR DO YOU BUY SOMETHING
THAT HAS SOME DEFECTS THAT NEEDS
00:11:25.58\00:11:31.35
RESTORATION? THE
VERY FACT THAT THINGS
00:11:31.35\00:11:33.82
NEED RESTORATION MEANS
WHAT? SOMETHING HAS DILAPIDATED,
00:11:33.82\00:11:39.53
SOMETHING HAS ERODED, SOMETHING
HAS FALLEN, SOMETHING HAS BROKEN
00:11:39.53\00:11:44.53
AND IT NEEDS TO BE RESTORED.
AND SO, JUST THE FACT THAT WE'RE
00:11:44.53\00:11:48.57
TALKING ABOUT RESTORING THINGS,
IT MEANS THAT SOMETHING HAS
00:11:48.57\00:11:52.21
DRIFTED FROM
GOD'S ORIGINAL PLAN.
00:11:52.21\00:11:55.61
NOW, IF YOU LOOK WITH ME IN
LUKE CHAPTER 4, VERSE 18, PEOPLE
00:11:55.61\00:12:00.12
THINK SOMETIMES THAT PREACHING
IS THE MEANS OF RESTORATION -
00:12:00.12\00:12:06.02
THAT WE'RE JUST TO GO AND WE'RE
ALL TO PREACH - AND THAT'S HOW
00:12:06.02\00:12:09.09
THE GOSPEL IS SPREAD. BUT
THE BIBLE SAYS THERE'S MUCH
00:12:09.09\00:12:11.29
MORE TO THAT - MUCH
MORE TO SPREADING THE GOSPEL
00:12:11.29\00:12:14.13
THAN JUST PREACHING. IN
JUST A MOMENT I'M GOING TO
00:12:14.13\00:12:16.16
READ - SOMEONE'S GOT MATTHEW
9:35 - YOU'LL HAVE THAT KATRINA?
00:12:16.16\00:12:19.80
OKAY, WE'LL GET
READY FOR YOU IN A MINUTE.
00:12:19.80\00:12:21.90
I'M GOING TO READ LUKE 4:18 -
FIRST SERMON JESUS PREACHES IN
00:12:21.90\00:12:25.64
HIS HOME CHURCH. HE
STANDS UP THERE IN NAZARETH,
00:12:25.64\00:12:28.68
IN THE SYNAGOGUE, AND HE
OPENS TO ISAIAH 61 AND HE
00:12:28.68\00:12:31.95
QUOTES FROM ISAIAH 61.
HERE'S WHAT IT SAYS, "'THE
00:12:31.95\00:12:35.02
SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME,
BECAUSE HE HAS ANOINTED ME'" -
00:12:35.02\00:12:38.85
THAT'S - THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT
BECAUSE CHRIST WAS ANOINTED WITH
00:12:38.85\00:12:41.26
THE HOLY SPIRIT AT HIS BAPTISM,
GOES IN THE WILDERNESS - HE
00:12:41.26\00:12:44.59
SUCCEEDS AGAINST THE VARIOUS
TEMPTATIONS OF THE DEVIL.
00:12:44.59\00:12:47.96
AND HE COMES BACK NOW AND HE
GOES TO HIS HOME CHURCH AND HE
00:12:47.96\00:12:50.33
PREACHES HIS FIRST SERMON AND
HE'S TELLING THEM THE LORD HAS
00:12:50.33\00:12:54.90
MESSIAHED ME - THE LORD HAS
CHRISTED ME - CHRISTOS - THAT
00:12:54.90\00:13:00.14
MEANS 'I AM THE ANOINTED'.
HE'S BASICALLY ANNOUNCING,
00:13:00.14\00:13:03.38
'I AM THE ANOINTED'. FOR WHAT?
00:13:03.38\00:13:06.25
"'BECAUSE HE HAS ANOINTED ME TO
PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR;'"
00:13:06.25\00:13:09.48
- SO HOW DO YOU PREACH
THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR?
00:13:09.48\00:13:11.92
- "'HE HAS SENT ME TO HEAL
THE BROKENHEARTED, TO PROCLAIM
00:13:11.92\00:13:15.02
LIBERTY TO THE CAPTIVES AND
RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND,
00:13:15.02\00:13:19.79
TO SET AT LIBERTY THOSE WHO
ARE OPPRESSED; TO PROCLAIM THE
00:13:19.79\00:13:23.70
ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD.'"
SO THERE'S PREACHING INVOLVED
00:13:23.70\00:13:28.24
AND THERE'S TEACHING INVOLVED,
BUT IT TALKS ABOUT HEALING -
00:13:28.24\00:13:31.24
HEALING HEARTS, PROCLAIMING
LIBERTY, SETTING CAPTIVES FREE,
00:13:31.24\00:13:36.85
OPENING THE EYES OF THE BLIND
- PHYSICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY.
00:13:36.85\00:13:40.18
GO AHEAD, READ MATTHEW
9:35. THIS IS A GREAT VERSE THAT
00:13:40.18\00:13:43.65
SUMMARIZES THE
MINISTRY OF JESUS.
00:13:43.65\00:13:47.76
>>"THEN JESUS WENT ABOUT ALL THE
CITIES AND VILLAGES, TEACHING IN
00:13:47.76\00:13:50.73
THEIR SYNAGOGUES, PREACHING
THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM, AND
00:13:50.73\00:13:54.20
HEALING EVERY SICKNESS AND
EVERY DISEASE AMONG THE PEOPLE."
00:13:54.20\00:13:58.43
>>NOW THIS IS A GREAT VERSE.
WE'VE OFTEN THOUGHT THIS IS
00:13:58.43\00:14:01.20
A - KIND OF A GOOD
SLOGAN FOR AMAZING FACTS.
00:14:01.20\00:14:06.54
GO EVERYWHERE PREACHING THE
GOSPEL - YOU'RE TEACHING, YOU'RE
00:14:06.54\00:14:10.48
PREACHING - IN OTHER WORDS,
THERE'S TRAINING, THERE'S PUBLIC
00:14:10.48\00:14:13.55
PROCLAMATION. HE GOES
WHERE? TO THE SYNAGOGUES.
00:14:13.55\00:14:17.52
IT'S DONE IN THE
CONTEXT OF A CHURCH.
00:14:17.52\00:14:20.59
THAT'S WHY WE HAVE A
CHURCH-BASED MINISTRY.
00:14:20.59\00:14:23.59
HE NOT ONLY HAS A CITY MINISTRY,
HE'S GOT A COUNTRY MINISTRY.
00:14:23.59\00:14:27.60
HE WENT TO THE CITIES, HE
WENT TO THE VILLAGES AND HE'S
00:14:27.60\00:14:30.73
PREACHING ABOUT THE
KINGDOM. THIS WAS THE MESSAGE
00:14:30.73\00:14:32.67
- THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
PHYSICAL HEALING - HEALING OF
00:14:32.67\00:14:36.44
SICKNESS - AND EVERY
DISEASE AMONG THE PEOPLE.
00:14:36.44\00:14:39.81
AND I THINK IN SOME GOSPELS
IT USES THIS AND THEN IT SAYS,
00:14:39.81\00:14:42.54
ALSO, CASTING OUT
DEVILS. AND SO, THE MINISTRY OF
00:14:42.54\00:14:47.08
RESTORING PEOPLE TO GOD - THE
MINISTRY OF RESTORATION IS NOT
00:14:47.08\00:14:52.85
JUST TO GO OUT AND PREACH.
IT'S ACTUALLY SOMETHING THAT
00:14:52.85\00:14:56.36
EVERY MEMBER CAN BE INVOLVED IN
BECAUSE, WHILE ALL OF US MAY NOT
00:14:56.36\00:15:00.26
HAVE THE GIFTS OF TEACHING AND
PREACHING, ALL OF US HAVE GIFTS
00:15:00.26\00:15:03.87
OF SOME KIND OF MINISTRY.
EVERYBODY IS CALLED TO USE
00:15:03.87\00:15:08.27
THEIR GIFTS IN SOME ASPECT
OF RESTORATION OF ALL THINGS.
00:15:08.27\00:15:13.64
ALRIGHT, NOW, UNDER THE FIRST
SECTION IN OUR LESSON - THIS IS
00:15:13.64\00:15:16.18
LESSON #1 IN THE NEW QUARTERLY
- THE IMAGE OF GOD - MOST OF THE
00:15:16.18\00:15:20.32
LESSON IS GOING TO BE SPENT
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TALKING
00:15:20.32\00:15:23.32
ABOUT THAT. WHEN YOU
FIRST HEAR ME SAY THE
00:15:23.32\00:15:26.35
WORD 'IMAGE' IN A CHURCH/BIBLE
CONTEXT, DOES THAT CONJURE UP
00:15:26.35\00:15:30.66
GOOD PICTURES OR BAD
PICTURES? WHAT DOES THE BIBLE
00:15:30.66\00:15:34.36
SAY ABOUT
IMAGES? DON'T MAKE THEM.
00:15:34.36\00:15:38.70
DON'T BOW DOWN TO
THEM AND WORSHIP THEM.
00:15:38.70\00:15:41.30
AND, EVEN IN THAT SECOND
COMMANDMENT - I WAS DRIVING WITH
00:15:41.30\00:15:45.07
NATHAN YESTERDAY AND WE WENT
BY A LOCAL CHURCH AND THEY HAD A
00:15:45.07\00:15:50.18
MONUMENT OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
AND I POINTED IT OUT TO HIM.
00:15:50.18\00:15:52.65
I SAID, 'NOW THAT
PARTICULAR MONUMENT TO THE TEN
00:15:52.65\00:15:55.78
COMMANDMENTS, YOU'LL NOTICE THE
SECOND COMMANDMENT IS TOTALLY
00:15:55.78\00:15:58.45
MISSING.' THEY
DON'T HAVE THE COMMANDMENT
00:15:58.45\00:16:01.39
THAT SAYS, 'DON'T MAKE IMAGES
- THE LIKENESS OF ANYTHING IN
00:16:01.39\00:16:05.03
THE HEAVEN ABOVE OR THE EARTH
BENEATH.' SO THAT'S ONE EXTREME.
00:16:05.03\00:16:07.86
SOME PEOPLE HAVE
DELETED THAT COMMANDMENT.
00:16:07.86\00:16:10.20
OTHERS SAY THAT THE COMMANDMENT
NOT TO MAKE AN IMAGE MEANS YOU
00:16:10.20\00:16:15.67
SHOULD NOT HAVE A
PHOTOGRAPH IN YOUR WALLET.
00:16:15.67\00:16:18.54
NOW, 'FESS UP, HOW MANY OF YOU
HAVE A PHOTOGRAPH IN YOUR PURSE
00:16:18.54\00:16:21.48
OR WALLET? YOU WOULD BE
ACCUSED, BY SOME, OF IDOLATRY.
00:16:21.48\00:16:28.52
DOES THE COMMANDMENT SAY, 'DON'T
MAKE THE LIKENESS OF ANYTHING IN
00:16:28.52\00:16:31.65
THE HEAVEN ABOVE OR THE EARTH
BENEATH OR THE WATER UNDER THE
00:16:31.65\00:16:33.96
EARTH'? IF YOU
MAKE A FACSIMILE OF
00:16:33.96\00:16:36.69
ANYTHING THAT EXISTS,
THAT WOULD BE IDOLATRY.
00:16:36.69\00:16:42.70
THE COMMANDMENT
DOESN'T SAY THAT.
00:16:42.70\00:16:44.63
THE COMMANDMENT SAYS DO NOT MAKE
THESE THINGS AND - PART OF THE
00:16:44.63\00:16:47.90
COMMANDMENT IS
AND BOW DOWN TO THEM.
00:16:47.90\00:16:50.44
WHAT PROOF DO WE HAVE THAT
MAKING ANY KIND OF AN IMAGE IS
00:16:50.44\00:16:55.01
NOT NECESSARILY
BREAKING THAT COMMANDMENT?
00:16:55.01\00:16:58.65
DID GOD COMMAND THE CHILDREN OF
ISRAEL TO MAKE IMAGES OF ANGELS
00:16:58.65\00:17:03.42
IN THE SANCTUARY?
DID SOLOMON, UNDER THE
00:17:03.42\00:17:06.69
INSPIRATION OF THE SPIRIT, HAVE
CALVES - BRONZE CALVES - THAT
00:17:06.69\00:17:10.43
WERE UNDER THE
LAVER HOLDING IT UP?
00:17:10.43\00:17:12.83
AND DID THEY MAKE IMAGES OF
POMEGRANATES AND BELLS THAT THEY
00:17:12.83\00:17:15.36
PUT ON THE HIGH PRIEST?
AND DID THEY ENGRAVE AND
00:17:15.36\00:17:17.90
EMBROIDER IMAGES OF ANGELS
IN THE VEIL THAT SEPARATED?
00:17:17.90\00:17:21.94
AND SO THE COMMANDMENT WAS NOT
SAYING YOU'RE NOT TO HAVE ANY
00:17:21.94\00:17:25.74
KIND OF ARTISTIC REPLICA OR
DUPLICATION OR CARVE A FLOWER OR
00:17:25.74\00:17:30.95
ANYTHING LIKE THAT, IT WAS
SAYING DON'T MAKE ANY OF THESE
00:17:30.95\00:17:33.48
THINGS AND BOW DOWN TO THEM.
NOW, YOU DO NEED TO BE VERY
00:17:33.48\00:17:37.29
CAREFUL BECAUSE
WHAT MAY NOT BE IDOLATRY
00:17:37.29\00:17:40.96
FOR YOU, COULD
TEMPT ANOTHER PERSON.
00:17:40.96\00:17:45.19
AND - I TOLD YOU I SOMETIMES
HAD MIXED FEELINGS ABOUT THE
00:17:45.19\00:17:50.60
PICTURES IN THE FRONT OF
THE CHURCH BECAUSE I'VE WATCHED
00:17:50.60\00:17:54.97
PEOPLE WALK INTO CHURCHES BEFORE
AND THEY SAW A PICTURE AND THEY
00:17:54.97\00:17:58.01
WERE FROM ANOTHER FAITH AND THEY
WENT UP AND THEY KNELT DOWN TO
00:17:58.01\00:18:00.24
IT AND THEY CROSSED THEMSELVES
AND THEY STARTED PRAYING, AND I
00:18:00.24\00:18:04.68
THOUGHT, 'DON'T PRAY TO THE
MOSAIC.' NOW, IT'S NOT IDOLATRY
00:18:04.68\00:18:08.98
TO HAVE A PICTURE OF REVELATION.
WE USE, SOMETIMES, PICTURES IN
00:18:08.98\00:18:12.25
OUR CHURCHES, BUT
SOME PEOPLE PRAY TO THEM.
00:18:12.25\00:18:15.76
AND SO, IF IT'S GOING TO MAKE
MY BROTHER STUMBLE, YOU WANT TO
00:18:15.76\00:18:19.33
AVOID IT, RIGHT? SO
WHEN WE SAY 'IMAGE' OFTEN OUR
00:18:19.33\00:18:22.63
MINDS GO TO THE IMAGES THAT YOU
DON'T MAKE AND YOU DON'T PRAY
00:18:22.63\00:18:25.83
TO, BUT THE BIBLE SAYS MAN
WAS MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD.
00:18:25.83\00:18:33.01
NOW, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE
IMAGE OF GOD, HOW MANY PEOPLE
00:18:33.01\00:18:37.28
HAVE SEEN GOD AND KNOW
WHAT THAT IMAGE LOOKS LIKE?
00:18:37.28\00:18:40.55
IS IT TALKING ABOUT A PHOTOGRAPH
OF GOD? CAN YOU HAVE A SINGLE-
00:18:40.55\00:18:45.92
DIMENSIONAL IMAGE AND A
THREE-DIMENSIONAL IMAGE?
00:18:45.92\00:18:49.72
WHEN MAN WAS MADE IN THE IMAGE
OF GOD, IT'S NOT TALKING JUST
00:18:49.72\00:18:52.83
ABOUT LIKENESS.
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF WAYS.
00:18:52.83\00:18:55.36
ALRIGHT, LET'S
GO TO GENESIS 1:26.
00:18:55.36\00:18:58.00
SOMEONE'S GOING TO READ
GENESIS 9:6 FOR ME IN A MOMENT.
00:18:58.00\00:19:01.30
WHO WILL HAVE -
YOU'LL HAVE THAT?
00:19:01.30\00:19:02.67
ALRIGHT, GENESIS 1:26, "THEN GOD
SAID, 'LET US MAKE MAN IN OUR
00:19:02.67\00:19:07.84
IMAGE, ACCORDING TO OUR
LIKENESS;'" - NOW, FIRST OF ALL,
00:19:07.84\00:19:10.91
GOD SAID, 'LET US' -
WHAT DOES THAT IMPLY?
00:19:10.91\00:19:15.35
PLURAL. 'MAKE MAN IN OUR IMAGE'.
00:19:15.35\00:19:20.69
I THINK THE WORD HERE IS
'ELOHIM' AND IT'S TALKING ABOUT
00:19:20.69\00:19:23.46
- OF THE PLURAL FORM OF GOD -
"'ACCORDING TO OUR LIKENESS; LET
00:19:23.46\00:19:28.26
THEM HAVE DOMINION OVER THE FISH
OF THE SEA, OVER THE BIRDS OF
00:19:28.26\00:19:32.37
THE AIR, AND OVER THE CATTLE,
OVER ALL THE EARTH AND OVER
00:19:32.37\00:19:35.60
EVERY LIVING THING THAT MOVES ON
THE EARTH.'" ALRIGHT, SO ONE OF
00:19:35.60\00:19:38.11
THE WAYS THAT MAN IS MADE IN THE
IMAGE OF GOD IS NOT JUST BECAUSE
00:19:38.11\00:19:42.81
WE PROBABLY BEAR SOME
PHYSICAL RESEMBLANCE TO GOD.
00:19:42.81\00:19:48.25
IT'S TELLING US THAT MAN WAS
MADE IN THE LIKENESS OF GOD IN
00:19:48.25\00:19:51.72
THAT MAN WAS GIVEN DOMINION.
AS GOD HAS DOMINION OVER THE
00:19:51.72\00:19:55.82
UNIVERSE, MAN WAS TO
HAVE DOMINION OVER THIS NEW
00:19:55.82\00:19:58.86
WORLD THAT WAS MADE.
IS THAT CORRECT? YEAH?
00:19:58.86\00:20:04.70
OKAY. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE.
00:20:04.70\00:20:07.97
THERE ARE SOME TODAY THAT THINK
THAT IT IS VERY ARROGANT FOR MAN
00:20:07.97\00:20:13.98
TO THINK THAT WE HAVE DOMINION
OVER THE PLANET AND THAT WE
00:20:13.98\00:20:17.65
SHOULD SOMEHOW BE BETTER THAN
THE ANIMALS AND THAT IT SHOULD
00:20:17.65\00:20:22.88
BE JUST AS IMPORTANT TO SAVE A
WHALE OR A GRASSHOPPER MOUSE AS
00:20:22.88\00:20:27.09
TO SAVE A PERSON.
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT.
00:20:27.09\00:20:30.43
THAT'S THIS, KIND OF, EVOLUTION
PERSPECTIVE - HUMANISM - I
00:20:30.43\00:20:33.36
BELIEVE THAT THE CROWNING ACT OF
GOD'S CREATION IS MAN AND THAT
00:20:33.36\00:20:37.10
JESUS DID NOT DIE FOR MICE,
HE DIED TO REDEEM HUMANS - THAT
00:20:37.10\00:20:42.50
PEOPLE ARE
INFINITELY MORE VALUABLE.
00:20:42.50\00:20:45.67
JESUS SAID, 'ARE YOU NOT
WORTH MORE THAN MANY SHEEP?'
00:20:45.67\00:20:48.31
'ARE YOU NOT WORTH
MORE THAN MANY SPARROWS?'
00:20:48.31\00:20:51.21
PEOPLE ARE THE PINNACLE OF THE
CREATION ON EARTH, AND THIS IS
00:20:51.21\00:20:55.25
WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES - VERY
DIFFERENT FROM WHAT THE WORLD IS
00:20:55.25\00:20:58.09
PUTTING OUT THERE. SO 'GOD
CREATED MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE.
00:20:58.09\00:21:01.66
IN THE IMAGE CREATED HIM MALE
AND FEMALE, CREATED HE THEM.'
00:21:01.66\00:21:07.50
ALRIGHT, GO AHEAD,
READ FOR US GENESIS 9:6.
00:21:07.50\00:21:11.27
>>"WHOEVER SHEDS MAN'S BLOOD,
BY MAN HIS BLOOD SHALL BE SHED;
00:21:11.27\00:21:16.37
FOR IN THE IMAGE
OF GOD HE MADE MAN."
00:21:16.37\00:21:19.54
>>NOW, YOU KNOW, WE'VE JUST
JUMPED HERE TO GENESIS 9 BUT,
00:21:19.54\00:21:22.34
AGAIN, IT TALKS
ABOUT THE IMAGE OF GOD.
00:21:22.34\00:21:24.88
SO HERE YOU SAY - YOU CAN SEE
THAT GOD IS PLACING A GREATER
00:21:24.88\00:21:29.22
VALUE ON MAN BECAUSE, IN THE
VERSES JUST PRECEDING THIS IN
00:21:29.22\00:21:33.56
CHAPTER 9, HE'S TALKING ABOUT
THE ANIMALS AND THAT ANIMALS
00:21:33.56\00:21:37.46
COULD BE KILLED AND
ANIMALS COULD BE EATEN.
00:21:37.46\00:21:40.56
OF COURSE, THAT'S
AMONG THE CLEAN ANIMALS.
00:21:40.56\00:21:41.90
BUT, HE SAYS 'YOU SHED THE BLOOD
OF MAN' - MAN IS NOT AN ANIMAL -
00:21:41.90\00:21:46.94
IT WAS DIFFERENT. THERE
WAS SOMETHING SACRED ABOUT MAN.
00:21:46.94\00:21:50.77
ALRIGHT, I'M GOING TO READ 1
CORINTHIANS 11, VERSE 7, "FOR" -
00:21:50.77\00:21:55.74
AND THIS IS A DIFFICULT VERSE,
BUT I JUST WENT THROUGH THE
00:21:55.74\00:21:58.65
BIBLE AND TOOK THE PLACES WHERE
IT TALKS ABOUT THE IMAGE OF GOD
00:21:58.65\00:22:03.85
- "FOR A MAN INDEED OUGHT NOT TO
COVER HIS HEAD, SINCE HE IS THE
00:22:03.85\00:22:07.69
IMAGE AND GLORY OF GOD;
BUT WOMAN IS THE GLORY OF MAN."
00:22:07.69\00:22:12.99
NOW, DOES THAT MEAN THAT A WOMAN
IS NOT IN THE IMAGE OF GOD?
00:22:12.99\00:22:20.70
IT'S NOT A TRICK QUESTION, NO.
00:22:20.70\00:22:22.24
BOTH MEN AND WOMEN ARE
MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD.
00:22:22.24\00:22:25.64
YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS
ABOUT - THAT'S REALLY NEAT -
00:22:25.64\00:22:28.64
WHEN I USED TO DUPLICATE
AUDIOTAPES, EVERY AUDIOTAPE THAT
00:22:28.64\00:22:33.72
I WOULD DUPLICATE AWAY FROM THE
MASTER ORIGINAL TAPE, THERE WAS
00:22:33.72\00:22:39.92
INFERIOR QUALITY.
YOU WOULD LOSE QUALITY.
00:22:39.92\00:22:43.29
WITH THE DIGITAL REPRODUCTION,
YOU CAN MAINTAIN THE SAME
00:22:43.29\00:22:47.40
QUALITY - IT'S REALLY GREAT
BECAUSE WE'VE SENT SOME DVDS TO
00:22:47.40\00:22:49.90
CHINA AND THEY COPY AND PIRATE
AND COPY AND COPY AND COPY - AND
00:22:49.90\00:22:53.30
THEY MAINTAIN THEIR
QUALITY BECAUSE IT'S A DIGITAL
00:22:53.30\00:22:56.17
REPRODUCTION. AND SO,
EVEN THOUGH ONE IS MADE
00:22:56.17\00:23:00.24
OUT OF THE OTHER, YOU STILL
HAVE THE SAME LEVEL OF QUALITY.
00:23:00.24\00:23:04.35
AND IT IS TRUE THAT WOMAN WAS
TAKEN FROM MAN, BUT IT DOESN'T
00:23:04.35\00:23:07.45
MEAN THAT THE IMAGE OF
GOD WAS LOST AT THAT POINT.
00:23:07.45\00:23:11.22
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?
AND SO, I THINK THAT'S
00:23:11.22\00:23:13.39
WHAT PAUL IS SAYING
HERE. IT'S JUST TALKING ABOUT A
00:23:13.39\00:23:14.86
SEQUENCE OF HOW
THESE THINGS WERE DONE.
00:23:14.86\00:23:17.83
PSALMS 8, VERSE 4 - YOU WERE
WORRIED ABOUT THAT LAST ONE AND
00:23:17.83\00:23:21.73
WHAT I WAS GOING
TO SAY, WEREN'T YOU?
00:23:21.73\00:23:24.53
PSALMS 8, VERSE 4, "WHAT IS MAN
THAT YOU ARE MINDFUL OF HIM, AND
00:23:24.53\00:23:28.70
THE SON OF MAN
THAT YOU VISIT HIM?
00:23:28.70\00:23:30.91
FOR YOU HAVE MADE HIM A LITTLE
LOWER THAN THE ANGELS," - AND
00:23:30.91\00:23:33.84
SLIGHTLY ABOVE THE
GORILLAS - IS THAT WHAT IT SAYS?
00:23:33.84\00:23:39.55
NO, I'LL TALK ABOUT THAT IN A
MINUTE - "FOR YOU HAVE MADE HIM
00:23:39.55\00:23:42.35
A LITTLE LOWER THAN THE ANGELS
AND YOU'VE CROWNED HIM WITH
00:23:42.35\00:23:44.55
GLORY AND HONOR. YOU
HAVE MADE HIM TO HAVE
00:23:44.55\00:23:47.12
DOMINION" - HERE IT IS AGAIN
- "OVER THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS;
00:23:47.12\00:23:50.56
YOU HAVE PUT ALL THINGS
UNDER HIS FEET, ALL SHEEP AND
00:23:50.56\00:23:54.36
OXEN-EVEN THE BEASTS OF THE
FIELD, THE BIRDS OF THE AIR, AND
00:23:54.36\00:23:57.43
THE FISH OF THE SEA THAT PASS
THROUGH THE PATHS OF THE SEAS."
00:23:57.43\00:24:01.40
NOW, DOES THAT MEAN, BECAUSE ALL
THESE CREATURES ARE PUT UNDER
00:24:01.40\00:24:05.64
THE DOMINION OF MAN, SHOULD
PEOPLE - SHOULD CHRISTIANS CARE
00:24:05.64\00:24:10.18
ABOUT ANIMALS?
YEAH, THE BIBLE SAYS, 'THE
00:24:10.18\00:24:13.92
RIGHTEOUS MAN REGUARDS
THE LIFE OF HIS BEAST.'
00:24:13.92\00:24:16.62
IS THERE ONE OF THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS THAT TELLS US ABOUT
00:24:16.62\00:24:18.52
THAT? YEAH, HAVE
YOU NOTICED IN THE
00:24:18.52\00:24:24.16
SABBATH COMMANDMENT IT NOT ONLY
SAYS YOUR SON AND YOUR DAUGHTER
00:24:24.16\00:24:27.66
SHALL REST, IT SAYS YOUR
BEASTS OF BURDEN SHALL REST.
00:24:27.66\00:24:32.33
AND SO, NOT THAT THEY'RE OF
EQUAL VALUE, BUT GOD IS JUST
00:24:32.33\00:24:35.20
SHOWING THERE THAT HE CARES
ABOUT THE ANIMALS AS WELL AND HE
00:24:35.20\00:24:41.18
MADE LAWS TO PROTECT THEM.
WHAT HAPPENED TO BALAAM WHEN HE
00:24:41.18\00:24:45.48
DIDN'T CARE ABOUT HIS ANIMAL?
THE ANGEL APPEARED AND SAID 'IF
00:24:45.48\00:24:49.58
IT WASN'T FOR THE DONKEY - I
WOULD HAVE SPARED THE DONKEY AND
00:24:49.58\00:24:51.42
KILLED YOU.' BUT - SO GOD
DOES - HE CARES ABOUT - HE
00:24:51.42\00:24:57.53
LOVES - GOD IS LOVE. HE
LOVES ALL OF HIS CREATURES.
00:24:57.53\00:25:00.60
BUT MAN WAS GIVEN DOMINION AND
I THINK WHEN GOD PUT MAN IN THE
00:25:00.60\00:25:05.20
GARDEN OF EDEN,
WHAT WAS HIS JOB?
00:25:05.20\00:25:09.07
TO BE A STEWARD - TO
CARE FOR THE CREATION.
00:25:09.07\00:25:14.51
SHOULD HUMANS - SHOULD
PEOPLE CARE FOR CREATION?
00:25:14.51\00:25:18.58
YEAH, I DO BELIEVE THAT.
IN REVELATION IT SAYS GOD WILL
00:25:18.58\00:25:22.82
DESTROY THOSE
THAT DESTROY THE EARTH.
00:25:22.82\00:25:25.65
SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
THE RESTORATION OF ALL THINGS.
00:25:25.65\00:25:28.19
NOT ONLY DOES HUMANITY
NEED RESTORING, THE PLANET NEEDS
00:25:28.19\00:25:32.49
RESTORING. OKAY, GO
AHEAD NOW, WE'RE GOING
00:25:32.49\00:25:35.26
TO GO TO OUR NEXT SECTION
AND WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT
00:25:35.26\00:25:38.17
THE FALL AND ITS AFTERMATH.
OH, YOU KNOW, ONE THING I JUST -
00:25:38.17\00:25:41.84
I TOLD YOU I WAS GOING TO TALK
ABOUT THIS - HOW MANY OF THE
00:25:41.84\00:25:45.07
DIFFERENT CREATURES WERE
MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD?
00:25:45.07\00:25:50.25
HOW WAS THE CREATION OF MAN
DIFFERENT FROM THE CREATION OF
00:25:50.25\00:25:54.68
THE CATTLE AND THE
BIRDS AND THE FISH?
00:25:54.68\00:25:58.09
WAS THERE A DIFFERENCE?
WHEN - YEAH, WHEN HE CREATED THE
00:25:58.09\00:26:03.02
CATTLE AND THE BIRDS AND THE
FISH, HE SPOKE AND THEY WERE.
00:26:03.02\00:26:06.49
WHAT DOES HE DO
WHEN HE MAKES MAN?
00:26:06.49\00:26:08.93
HE GETS INVOLVED. HE
TOUCHES, HE USES HIS HANDS,
00:26:08.93\00:26:12.43
HE TAKES HIS LIPS - HE BREATHES
INTO MAN THE BREATH OF LIFE.
00:26:12.43\00:26:16.40
AND WHEN HE MAKES WOMAN -
AGAIN, GOD GETS INVOLVED LIKE A
00:26:16.40\00:26:20.01
SURGEON. IT'S A VERY
PERSONAL TOUCH THAT'S INVOLVED.
00:26:20.01\00:26:24.68
HE'S TAKING SOMETHING OF HIMSELF
AND INSPIRING IT INTO MAN AND
00:26:24.68\00:26:29.58
WOMAN. YOU KNOW WHERE WE GET
THE WORD 'INSPIRE'? IT MEANS TO
00:26:29.58\00:26:32.29
BREATHE INTO. GOD BREATHED
INTO MAN THE BREATH OF LIFE.
00:26:32.29\00:26:37.83
AND HE, LIKEWISE, WITH WOMAN -
HE TOOK THE WOMAN - HE TOOK THE
00:26:37.83\00:26:41.76
RIB FROM THE MAN AND MADE THE
WOMAN. WHAT IS THE WORLD'S VIEW
00:26:41.76\00:26:47.64
ABOUT HOW MAN CAME INTO BEING?
NOT ALL THE WORLD, BUT MUCH OF
00:26:47.64\00:26:52.11
THE WORLD BELIEVES IN
EVOLUTION, ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
00:26:52.11\00:26:56.41
AND SO THEIR IDEA OF HOW WE CAME
INTO BEING IS THAT MAN IS REALLY
00:26:56.41\00:27:01.45
AT JUST A LEVEL WHERE
WE HAVE SOMEHOW BECOME MORE
00:27:01.45\00:27:05.69
SOPHISTICATED, AT LEAST BY
OUR VIEW - APES DON'T THINK SO -
00:27:05.69\00:27:10.13
MORE SOPHISTICATED THAN MONKEYS
AND PRIMATES OR MARSUPIALS.
00:27:10.13\00:27:18.37
DO YOU KNOW HOW DIFFERENT
A HUMAN IS THAN A GORILLA?
00:27:18.37\00:27:23.57
I MEAN, TO ME IT IS MADDENING -
BECAUSE I USED TO BELIEVE THIS -
00:27:23.57\00:27:28.58
IT IS MADDENING TO ME THAT WHEN
PEOPLE SAY, 'WELL, LOOK - LOOK
00:27:28.58\00:27:32.98
AT THE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN MEN
AND CHIMPANZEES AND GORILLAS.
00:27:32.98\00:27:38.12
THEY'VE GOT THE TEN FINGERS AND
THE TEN TOES AND THEY CAN WALK
00:27:38.12\00:27:40.96
UPRIGHT IF THEY WANT TO AND,
YEAH, THEY DRAG THEIR KNUCKLES
00:27:40.96\00:27:43.59
BUT, YOU KNOW, JUST GIVEN A FEW
MILLION YEARS AND THAT BECAME
00:27:43.59\00:27:48.26
US.' THIS BEGS MANY QUESTIONS.
ONE QUESTION IS, WHY DID SOME OF
00:27:48.26\00:27:53.10
THEM STAY GORILLAS AND OTHERS
WENT ON AND BECAME - WHY DIDN'T
00:27:53.10\00:27:55.90
THEY ALL GO ON
AND BECOME HUMANS?
00:27:55.90\00:27:59.91
IF IT WAS SO UNFORTUNATE TO BE
A GORILLA, AND IF WE'RE INCLINED
00:27:59.91\00:28:03.04
TO EVOLVE TOWARDS BETTER,
WHY DID THEY STOP EVOLVING RIGHT
00:28:03.04\00:28:05.65
THERE? OR CHIMPANZEES?
00:28:05.65\00:28:08.12
WHY DID HUMANS EVOLVE -
IF WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE MORE
00:28:08.12\00:28:12.65
SOPHISTICATED, WHY ARE
WE SO FEEBLE AS BABIES?
00:28:12.65\00:28:18.26
SOME OF YOU SAW THAT TRAGIC
VIDEO CLIP OF A CHILD THAT FELL
00:28:18.26\00:28:22.13
INTO A GORILLA
CAGE - IN THE NEWS?
00:28:22.13\00:28:25.17
HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW
WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT?
00:28:25.17\00:28:27.77
AND THE POOR GORILLA - I MEAN,
I CARE ABOUT THE BABY TOO, DON'T
00:28:27.77\00:28:32.61
MISUNDERSTAND - THE
BABY'S ALIVE, GORILLA'S DEAD.
00:28:32.61\00:28:34.14
I JUST WAS THINKING
IT WASN'T HIS FAULT.
00:28:34.14\00:28:37.68
THIS HUMAN BABY FALLS IN
AND I THINK HE CARED ABOUT IT.
00:28:37.68\00:28:41.12
HE WENT OVER - HE WAS CURIOUS
AS MUCH AS ANYTHING AND THEN ALL
00:28:41.12\00:28:42.98
THE PEOPLE LOOKING IN AND
SHOUTING - HE GOT SCARED AND, TO
00:28:42.98\00:28:45.29
BE PROTECTIVE, HE DID WHAT YOU
WOULD DO WITH ANY GORILLA BABY,
00:28:45.29\00:28:48.46
HE GRABBED IT BY
THE FOOT AND RAN.
00:28:48.46\00:28:51.56
A GORILLA BABY SURVIVES
THAT OKAY, BUT NOT A HUMAN BABY,
00:28:51.56\00:28:55.86
BECAUSE WE'RE A LOT MORE
FEEBLE IN OUR - IN OUR INFANCY.
00:28:55.86\00:29:00.24
AND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE
TWO SPECIES IS SO INCREDIBLE.
00:29:00.24\00:29:04.97
HOW HELPLESS IS A
HUMAN BABY AFTER FOUR YEARS?
00:29:04.97\00:29:10.61
AN IMPALA - IT'S BORN ON
THE SAVANNAH, IT GETS UP, AND IT
00:29:10.61\00:29:13.92
RUNS IN AN HOUR. TRY THAT WITH A
00:29:13.92\00:29:16.99
BABY - A HUMAN BABY.
BUT WE ARE CREATED WITH MORE
00:29:16.99\00:29:23.49
BRAIN STORAGE CAPACITY THAN
WE EVER USE IN OUR LIFETIME.
00:29:23.49\00:29:30.13
WHY WOULD EVOLUTION WANT
YOU TO EVOLVE SO MUCH MORE BRAIN
00:29:30.13\00:29:35.27
CAPACITY THAN
YOU COULD EVER USE?
00:29:35.27\00:29:37.54
MAYBE WE WERE
INTENDED TO LIVE LONGER.
00:29:37.54\00:29:40.31
WHY DOES A TORTOISE
LIVE LONGER THAN A HUMAN?
00:29:40.31\00:29:43.71
YOU EVER THINK
SOME OF THESE THINGS?
00:29:43.71\00:29:46.55
IF WE HEAL WHEN WE'RE YOUNG AND
WE GET BETTER, AFTER MILLIONS OF
00:29:46.55\00:29:52.39
YEARS, WHY DON'T WE LIVE
LONGER? WHY DOESN'T THE HEALING
00:29:52.39\00:29:57.69
PROCESS LAST LONGER? IF
YOU HAD THE BODY AND THE
00:29:57.69\00:30:01.53
ENZYMES AND ALL OF THE CELL
STRENGTH THAT YOU HAD WHEN YOU
00:30:01.53\00:30:04.83
WERE 20 YEARS OLD,
YOU'D LIVE A LONG TIME.
00:30:04.83\00:30:08.54
YOU JUST, YOU KNOW,
KEEP GETTING BETTER.
00:30:08.54\00:30:10.84
BUT THERE'S SOME
VITAL FORCE THAT GOES OUT.
00:30:10.84\00:30:13.54
DEATH HAS COME TO
ALL THE CREATURES.
00:30:13.54\00:30:16.14
AND SO, NO, WE
DIDN'T EVOLVE FROM APES.
00:30:16.14\00:30:24.59
JUST THE IDEA - WE ARE
MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD.
00:30:24.59\00:30:28.69
LET ME JUST - LET ME SHOW
YOU SOMETHING BEFORE WE GO ANY
00:30:28.69\00:30:30.46
FARTHER HERE.
GO WITH ME, IN YOUR
00:30:30.46\00:30:32.76
BIBLES, TO MARK CHAPTER
5. YOU'VE GOT TWO IMAGES
00:30:32.76\00:30:38.13
THAT ARE AT WAR. WE'RE
GOING TO TALK ABOUT THIS
00:30:38.13\00:30:40.17
LATER IN THE LESSON HERE.
"THEY CAME TO THE OTHER SIDE OF
00:30:40.17\00:30:46.34
THE SEA, TO THE
COUNTRY OF THE GADARENES."
00:30:46.34\00:30:48.68
- THIS IS VERSE 1 - MARK 5:1 -
"AND WHEN HE HAD COME OUT OF THE
00:30:48.68\00:30:51.71
BOAT, IMMEDIATELY THERE MET HIM
OUT OF THE TOMBS A MAN WITH AN
00:30:51.71\00:30:54.65
UNCLEAN SPIRIT," - WHAT
DOES 'UNCLEAN SPIRIT' MEAN?
00:30:54.65\00:30:59.75
DEMONIC - IT'S COMING FROM
WHO? THE DEVIL - OR AT LEAST
00:30:59.75\00:31:04.43
FALLEN ANGELS, RIGHT? -
"WHO HAD HIS DWELLING AMONG
00:31:04.43\00:31:08.50
THE TOMBS; AND NO ONE COULD
BIND HIM, NOT EVEN WITH CHAINS,
00:31:08.50\00:31:12.17
BECAUSE HE HAD OFTEN BEEN
BOUND WITH SHACKLES AND CHAINS.
00:31:12.17\00:31:15.04
AND THE CHAINS HAD BEEN PULLED
APART BY HIM, AND THE SHACKLES
00:31:15.04\00:31:17.47
BROKEN IN PIECES;
NEITHER COULD ANYONE TAME HIM.
00:31:17.47\00:31:20.58
AND ALWAYS, NIGHT AND DAY, HE
WAS IN THE MOUNTAINS AND IN THE
00:31:20.58\00:31:23.18
TOMBS, CRYING OUT AND
CUTTING HIMSELF WITH STONES.
00:31:23.18\00:31:26.55
WHEN HE SAW JESUS FROM
AFAR, HE RAN AND WORSHIPED HIM."
00:31:26.55\00:31:29.58
YOU READ THE SAME STORY IN LUKE
AND IT SAYS HE DIDN'T WEAR ANY
00:31:29.58\00:31:33.46
CLOTHES. LIVING AMONG THE TOMBS,
SURROUNDED BY PIGS - YOU KNOW
00:31:33.46\00:31:37.39
THE STORY, RIGHT? AND
THEN HE RUNS TO JESUS.
00:31:37.39\00:31:42.90
NOW, HERE YOU'VE GOT TWO TOTAL
DIAMETRIC OPPOSITES: YOU HAVE
00:31:42.90\00:31:48.97
JESUS, WHO WAS FULL OF THE IMAGE
OF GOD - THERE ON THE SHORE -
00:31:48.97\00:31:52.61
THE DISCIPLES RAN OFF TO
THE BOAT WHEN THIS MAN CAME; AND
00:31:52.61\00:31:55.68
THEN YOU HAVE THIS MAN WHO'S
LIVING IN A CAVE WHERE THEY PUT
00:31:55.68\00:31:58.65
DEAD PEOPLE - HE'S A CAVE MAN
- AND HE'S RUNNING AROUND NAKED
00:31:58.65\00:32:03.82
AND HE'S ACTING BERSERK - HE'S
ACTING LIKE AN ANIMAL, WOULD YOU
00:32:03.82\00:32:06.32
AGREE? DRAGGING
AROUND CHAINS - LIKE HE
00:32:06.32\00:32:09.56
HAD TO HAVE A LEASH ON HIM BUT
HE BROKE THE LEASH - AND THEY
00:32:09.56\00:32:12.89
BOTH LIVE IN THE SAME DECADE.
DOES THAT MEAN THAT JESUS
00:32:12.89\00:32:18.33
EVOLVED FROM THE DEMONIAC?
ARE YOU WITH ME - WHERE
00:32:18.33\00:32:23.04
I'M GOING WITH THIS?
YOU'VE GOT TWO COMPLETELY
00:32:23.04\00:32:25.44
DIFFERENT SPIRITS.
DO WE, SOMETIMES, AROUND
00:32:25.44\00:32:29.11
THE WORLD, FIND
EVIDENCE OF PRIMITIVE MAN?
00:32:29.11\00:32:33.62
DOES THAT MEAN THAT THEY LIVED
MILLIONS OF YEARS BEFORE MODERN
00:32:33.62\00:32:36.15
MAN? YOU KNOW,
NOT FAR FROM WHERE THE
00:32:36.15\00:32:38.59
PYRAMIDS ARE, THERE'S
EVIDENCE OF PEOPLE THAT USED
00:32:38.59\00:32:41.89
VERY PRIMITIVE TOOLS. LOS
ANGELES - MODERN CITY - AT
00:32:41.89\00:32:48.00
THE SAME TIME PEOPLE WERE USING
ELEVATORS AND ELECTRONIC DEVICES
00:32:48.00\00:32:51.30
IN LOS ANGELES, I WAS LIVING
IN A CAVE A HUNDRED MILES AWAY.
00:32:51.30\00:32:55.77
YOU CAN HAVE VERY SOPHISTICATED
CIVILIZED PEOPLE AND YOU CAN
00:32:55.77\00:32:59.61
HAVE PEOPLE FROM WHOM THE IMAGE
OF GOD IS WITHDRAWN THAT LIVE IN
00:32:59.61\00:33:02.61
A VERY BASE, UNSOPHISTICATED,
PRIMITIVE WAY - VERY PRIMAL
00:33:02.61\00:33:08.32
LIVES - LIVING AT THE SAME
TIME. SO JUST BECAUSE YOU FIND
00:33:08.32\00:33:12.29
EVIDENCE OF SOME PEOPLE THAT
APPEARED TO LIVE VERY PRIMITIVE,
00:33:12.29\00:33:15.79
DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT HAPPENED
MILLIONS OF YEARS EARLIER.
00:33:15.79\00:33:20.73
NOW, ONE OF THE REASONS I
READ THIS STORY IS BECAUSE THE
00:33:20.73\00:33:23.93
PURPOSE OF THE PLAN OF SALVATION
IS TO RESTORE - THAT'S OUR
00:33:23.93\00:33:28.17
LESSON TODAY, THE RESTORATION
- THE IMAGE OF GOD IN MAN.
00:33:28.17\00:33:33.27
HERE ON THE BEACH THAT DAY, BY
THE SEA OF GALILEE, YOU'VE GOT
00:33:33.27\00:33:36.85
THE DEMONIAC, WHO
REFLECTS WHOSE IMAGE?
00:33:36.85\00:33:42.15
WHAT'S THE PLAN
OF GOD FOR HUMANITY?
00:33:42.15\00:33:45.85
TO RESTORE THE IMAGE OF
CHRIST - HIS ORIGINAL PLAN.
00:33:45.85\00:33:49.79
ADAM REFLECTED
THE IMAGE OF CHRIST.
00:33:49.79\00:33:53.63
THE DEMONIAC
REFLECTED THE IMAGE OF SATAN.
00:33:53.63\00:33:57.07
THERE YOU'VE GOT IT - TWO
OF THEM FACE TO FACE - THE TWO
00:33:57.07\00:33:59.40
OPPOSITES. GOD'S PLAN FOR YOU
00:33:59.40\00:34:01.54
IS TO BE LIKE JESUS.
THE DEVIL'S PLAN FOR YOU
00:34:01.54\00:34:04.54
IS TO BE LIKE THE DEMONIAC.
THE DEVIL WANTS TO ERASE ANY
00:34:04.54\00:34:08.01
VESTIGE OF THE IMAGE OF GOD FROM
MAN. ALRIGHT, SO BACK TO OUR
00:34:08.01\00:34:11.68
LESSON HERE. THE FALL
AND ITS AFTERMATH - AND
00:34:11.68\00:34:14.92
SOMEONE, IN A MOMENT'S,
GOING TO READ GENESIS 3:16.
00:34:14.92\00:34:17.95
ALRIGHT, LET ME READ - OH,
BEFORE I GET - WELL, YEAH, LET
00:34:17.95\00:34:22.46
ME READ - GENESIS 3:8 - "AND
THEY HEARD THE SOUND OF THE LORD
00:34:22.46\00:34:25.56
GOD WALKING IN THE GARDEN IN THE
COOL OF THE DAY, AND ADAM AND
00:34:25.56\00:34:29.06
HIS WIFE HID THEMSELVES FROM THE
PRESENCE OF THE LORD" - THIS IS
00:34:29.06\00:34:32.27
AFTER THAT INFAMOUS EPISODE
WITH THE DEVIL AND THE FORBIDDEN
00:34:32.27\00:34:35.14
FRUIT - THEY "HID THEMSELVES
FROM THE PRESENCE OF GOD AMONG
00:34:35.14\00:34:39.11
THE TREES OF THE
GARDEN." THEY HEARD THE VOICE OF
00:34:39.11\00:34:42.61
THE LORD AND THEY RAN.
WHAT'S ONE OF THE SIGNS THAT THE
00:34:42.61\00:34:47.02
HOLY SPIRIT'S
WORKING IN YOUR LIFE?
00:34:47.02\00:34:49.82
YOU'RE DRAWN TO THE WORD OF GOD.
PEOPLE RUN FROM THE WORD OF GOD
00:34:49.82\00:34:54.72
- THE VOICE OF THE LORD -
OR THEY RUN TO THE WORD OF GOD.
00:34:54.72\00:34:59.16
IT'S LIKE MOODY SAID, 'EITHER
SIN'LL KEEP YOU FROM THE BIBLE
00:34:59.16\00:35:01.50
OR THE BIBLE WILL
KEEP YOU FROM SIN.'
00:35:01.50\00:35:04.20
AND WHEN GOD BEGINS TO
INVESTIGATE AND SAY - FIRST OF
00:35:04.20\00:35:08.00
ALL, GOD SAYS, 'WHERE ARE
YOU?' IS IT BECAUSE ADAM AND EVE
00:35:08.00\00:35:10.77
- HE HAD MISPLACED THEM?
DID GOD KNOW WHERE THEY WERE?
00:35:10.77\00:35:13.44
CAN YOU HIDE AND CAMOUFLAGE
YOURSELF SO WELL GOD CAN'T FIND
00:35:13.44\00:35:16.04
YOU? WHEN JONAH
WAS AT THE BOTTOM OF
00:35:16.04\00:35:19.31
THE MOUNTAINS DID
GOD KNOW WHERE JONAH WAS?
00:35:19.31\00:35:22.55
SO YOU CAN'T RUN FROM GOD.
THAT'S WHAT IT SAYS IN, I THINK
00:35:22.55\00:35:25.79
IT'S PSALM 139 - 'WITHER
SHALL I FLEE FROM THY PRESENCE?'
00:35:25.79\00:35:28.82
YOU CAN'T FLEE FROM
THE PRESENCE OF GOD.
00:35:28.82\00:35:31.03
WHY WERE - WHY
WERE THEY RUNNING?
00:35:31.03\00:35:34.10
REMEMBER WHAT ADAM
SAID? 'SEE, WE'RE NAKED AND WE
00:35:34.10\00:35:39.07
WERE AFRAID.' DID
GOD - WHAT HAPPENED?
00:35:39.07\00:35:42.44
WHEN THEY SINNED, ALL OF
A SUDDEN, THEY BECAME BRIGHT
00:35:42.44\00:35:44.17
ENOUGH TO REALIZE
THEY HAD NO CLOTHES ON?
00:35:44.17\00:35:46.94
WHAT HAPPENED THAT THEY
SUDDENLY BECAME ASHAMED?
00:35:46.94\00:35:50.91
HOW MANY OF YOU BELIEVE THAT
THEY WERE CLOTHED WITH ROBES OF
00:35:50.91\00:35:55.32
LIGHT BEFORE SIN AND,
AFTER SIN, THE LIGHT WENT OUT?
00:35:55.32\00:36:01.12
WHERE DO YOU
GET THAT BIBLICALLY?
00:36:01.12\00:36:03.56
NOW, IT SAYS THAT IN
THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY.
00:36:03.56\00:36:06.03
CAN YOU FIND BIBLE
SUPPORT? YEAH, I THINK YOU CAN.
00:36:06.03\00:36:10.03
WHEN MOSES TALKED TO THE LORD ON
THE MOUNTAIN, WHAT HAPPENED TO
00:36:10.03\00:36:13.00
MOSES' FACE WHEN HE
CAME DOWN OFF THE MOUNTAIN?
00:36:13.00\00:36:16.24
IT SAYS IT SHONE. DID
IT SHINE JUST SO YOU SEE HE
00:36:16.24\00:36:18.91
HAD A HAPPY GLOW,
LIKE SOMEONE IN LOVE?
00:36:18.91\00:36:21.81
OR WAS IT SHINING SO BRIGHT THAT
THE PEOPLE COULDN'T LOOK AT HIM
00:36:21.81\00:36:24.71
AND THEY SAID, 'YOU'VE GOT
TO VEIL YOUR FACE BECAUSE IT'S
00:36:24.71\00:36:26.38
HURTING OUR EYES.'
THAT'S PRETTY BRIGHT.
00:36:26.38\00:36:32.72
WHEN JESUS WAS ON THE MOUNTAIN
WITH MOSES AND ELIJAH, IN THE
00:36:32.72\00:36:36.62
MOUNT - NOW I'M
IN THE NEW TESTAMENT.
00:36:36.62\00:36:38.33
WHAT HAPPENED TO CHRIST'S
GARMENTS? IT SUDDENLY DIDN'T
00:36:38.33\00:36:41.83
LOOK LIKE ANY ARTIFICIAL
CLOTHING, IT WAS SHINING AS
00:36:41.83\00:36:44.20
BRIGHT AS THE SUN, LIKE NO
SOAP ON EARTH COULD GET IT.
00:36:44.20\00:36:47.20
ADAM AND EVE, IN THEIR INNOCENCE
AND PURITY, THEY WORE THE ROBES
00:36:47.20\00:36:51.11
OF RIGHTEOUSNESS THAT GOD
GIVES HIS INTELLIGENT CREATURES.
00:36:51.11\00:36:54.04
THEY HAD THESE LIGHTS -
THESE ROBES OF GLORY AND LIGHT.
00:36:54.04\00:36:57.35
AND SO, YOU DIDN'T SEE THEIR
NAKEDNESS AND THERE WAS - THEY
00:36:57.35\00:37:03.08
WERE COVERED. I'M SURE
YOU COULD LOOK AT THEIR
00:37:03.08\00:37:05.15
FACES, BUT GOD KIND OF GAVE THEM
A NATURAL COVERING - COVERED
00:37:05.15\00:37:09.96
WITH, KIND OF, A
SHEKINAH GLORY ROBE.
00:37:09.96\00:37:12.56
BUT WHEN THEY SINNED, THEY BEGAN
TO FEEL A COOL BREEZE AND THEY
00:37:12.56\00:37:16.30
LOOKED AT EACH OTHER AND THEY
SAID, 'OH - SOMETHING'S GONE.'
00:37:16.30\00:37:19.47
THEN THEY SAW THEIR
NAKEDNESS AND THEY RAN.
00:37:19.47\00:37:22.67
SO WHAT DOES SIN DO? SIN
BROUGHT AN INTERRUPTION IN
00:37:22.67\00:37:27.38
THE RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN GOD AND MAN.
00:37:27.38\00:37:30.11
IT MADE THEM RUN
AND IT MADE THEM HIDE.
00:37:30.11\00:37:33.65
SOMEBODY READ
FOR ME GENESIS 3:16.
00:37:33.65\00:37:37.09
>>TO THE WOMAN HE SAID: 'I WILL
GREATLY MULTIPLY YOUR SORROW AND
00:37:37.09\00:37:40.72
YOUR CONCEPTION; IN PAIN YOU
SHALL BRING FORTH CHILDREN; YOUR
00:37:40.72\00:37:45.19
DESIRE SHALL BE FOR YOUR
HUSBAND, AND HE SHALL RULE OVER
00:37:45.19\00:37:48.80
YOU.'" >>ALRIGHT,
SO HERE YOU SEE SOME
00:37:48.80\00:37:51.03
OF THE CURSES THAT BEGAN TO COME
AS THE RESULT OF DISOBEDIENCE.
00:37:51.03\00:37:54.74
I ACTUALLY LEFT
OUT A COUPLE VERSES.
00:37:54.74\00:37:56.37
YOU CAN LOOK IN VERSE 12, FIRST
THE MAN SAYS "THE WOMAN WHOM YOU
00:37:56.37\00:38:00.21
GAVE TO BE WITH ME, SHE GAVE
ME OF THE TREE, AND I DID EAT."
00:38:00.21\00:38:03.85
GOD SAYS TO ADAM,
'WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?'
00:38:03.85\00:38:06.11
AND SO WHAT
HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER SIN?
00:38:06.11\00:38:08.45
BLAME, DEFLECTION, DIVERSION
- IT'S 'YOU MADE THE WOMAN, YOU
00:38:08.45\00:38:16.83
KNOW? I DIDN'T COMPLAIN.
00:38:16.83\00:38:20.36
YOU SAID IT'S NOT
GOOD FOR ME TO BE ALONE.
00:38:20.36\00:38:23.03
YOU DID IT, SO IT'S YOUR FAULT
AND IT'S HER FAULT.' THERE'S A
00:38:23.03\00:38:28.77
DEFLECTION - KIND OF - HE'S
YOU KNOW, DESPERATE, BECAUSE THE
00:38:28.77\00:38:31.04
PENALTY FOR SIN IS DEATH.
AND THEN HE TALKS TO THE WOMAN
00:38:31.04\00:38:36.41
AND HE SAID, 'WHAT
IS THIS YOU HAVE DONE?'
00:38:36.41\00:38:38.41
AND THE WOMAN
SAID, 'THE SERPENT.
00:38:38.41\00:38:40.22
WHO MADE THAT SERPENT ANYWAY?
WHO PUT HIM THERE IN THE TREE?
00:38:40.22\00:38:44.62
WHO MADE THE TREE?
THE SERPENT DID IT.
00:38:44.62\00:38:47.86
HE DECEIVED ME AND I ATE.' AND
THEN HE SAYS TO THE WOMAN - AND
00:38:47.86\00:38:52.69
NOW THESE CURSES COME - A CURSE
COMES TO THE WOMAN; A CURSE
00:38:52.69\00:38:55.10
COMES TO THE MAN - "I WILL
GREATLY MULTIPLY YOUR SORROW AND
00:38:55.10\00:38:59.37
YOUR CONCEPTION;" - NOW THAT
WORD 'CONCEPTION' THERE, IT'S
00:38:59.37\00:39:02.84
ACTUALLY TALKING ABOUT THE TIME
OF CONCEPTION AND IT COULD BE
00:39:02.84\00:39:05.81
INTERPRETED TO BE CONNECTED
WITH WHAT IS SOMETIMES A TYPICAL
00:39:05.81\00:39:09.54
MORNING SICKNESS AFTER A CHILD
IS CONCEIVED, BECAUSE THEN IT
00:39:09.54\00:39:13.18
GOES ON AND SAYS, "IN PAIN
YOU SHALL BRING FORTH CHILDREN;"
00:39:13.18\00:39:17.55
WHICH MAKES YOU WONDER, WHAT
WOULD IT HAVE BEEN LIKE FOR EVE
00:39:17.55\00:39:21.62
TO GIVE BIRTH BEFORE THE
CURSE? CAN YOU IMAGINE? JUST,
00:39:21.62\00:39:27.66
YOU KNOW, 'ADAM, WAKE
UP. YOU'LL NEVER BELIEVE WHAT
00:39:27.66\00:39:30.70
HAPPENED LAST NIGHT.'
JUST - 'LOOK, A BABY!'
00:39:30.70\00:39:37.04
PROBABLY WASN'T THAT OBSCURE,
BUT IT EVIDENTLY WASN'T PAINFUL,
00:39:37.04\00:39:41.51
DON'T YOU AGREE?
BRINGING FORTH CHILDREN?
00:39:41.51\00:39:44.38
IT MIGHT HAVE EVEN BEEN
PLEASANT. I MEAN, IT'S HARD FOR
00:39:44.38\00:39:47.32
US TO IMAGINE, BUT IT WASN'T
PAINFUL BECAUSE EVERYTHING GOD
00:39:47.32\00:39:52.39
MADE WAS GOOD. AND,
YOU KNOW, EVIDENTLY, YOU
00:39:52.39\00:39:55.26
CAN SEE SOME OF THE ANIMALS IN
THE ANIMAL KINGDOM AND THEY GIVE
00:39:55.26\00:39:59.06
BIRTH AND IT JUST - IT
HAPPENS, SORT OF THAT WAY.
00:39:59.06\00:40:04.47
AND THEN THERE'S THE CURSE, OF
COURSE, THAT'S PUT ON MAN AND HE
00:40:04.47\00:40:07.97
SAYS, 'THE GROUND
IS CURSED...THORNS AND
00:40:07.97\00:40:10.17
THISTLES...THE SWEAT OF YOUR
BROW...YOU'LL BRING FORTH' - AND
00:40:10.17\00:40:13.31
SO, THINGS HAVE
DETERIORATED BECAUSE OF SIN.
00:40:13.31\00:40:17.75
"BECAUSE YOU'VE HEEDED" -
GOD SAYS IN GENESIS 3:17 - "THE
00:40:17.75\00:40:22.02
VOICE OF YOUR WIFE, AND HAVE
EATEN FROM THE TREE OF WHICH I
00:40:22.02\00:40:24.92
COMMANDED YOU, SAYING, 'YOU
SHALL NOT EAT OF IT': CURSED IS
00:40:24.92\00:40:28.09
THE GROUND FOR YOUR SAKE; IN
TOIL YOU SHALL EAT OF IT ALL THE
00:40:28.09\00:40:30.73
DAYS OF YOUR LIFE.
BOTH THORNS AND THISTLES IT
00:40:30.73\00:40:33.93
SHALL BRING FORTH FOR
YOU, AND YOU SHALL EAT THE
00:40:33.93\00:40:36.63
HERB OF THE FIELD." -
VEGETABLES WERE ADDED TO THE
00:40:36.63\00:40:39.27
DIET - "IN THE SWEAT OF YOUR
FACE YOU SHALL EAT BREAD TILL
00:40:39.27\00:40:42.70
YOU RETURN TO THE GROUND, FOR
OUT OF IT YOU WERE TAKEN; FOR
00:40:42.70\00:40:46.01
DUST YOU ARE, AND TO
DUST YOU SHALL RETURN."
00:40:46.01\00:40:48.58
AND THAT'S OFTEN
READ AT FUNERALS.
00:40:48.58\00:40:51.81
ALRIGHT, NEXT
SECTION: ENMITY AND ATONEMENT .
00:40:51.81\00:40:55.72
AND SO, AS YOU'RE READING ON
HERE IN GENESIS, WE WANT TO JUMP
00:40:55.72\00:40:58.82
BACK TO A PROPHECY THAT
WAS GIVEN - THIS IS THE FIRST
00:40:58.82\00:41:02.62
PROPHECY IN THE BIBLE - IN
GENESIS 3:14 AND 15, "SO THE
00:41:02.62\00:41:07.96
LORD GOD SAID TO THE SERPENT:
'BECAUSE YOU HAVE DONE THIS, YOU
00:41:07.96\00:41:11.90
ARE CURSED MORE THAN ALL CATTLE,
AND MORE THAN EVERY BEAST OF THE
00:41:11.90\00:41:15.57
FIELD; ON YOUR BELLY YOU SHALL
GO, AND YOU SHALL EAT DUST ALL
00:41:15.57\00:41:19.14
THE DAYS OF YOUR LIFE."
NOW MAN RETURNS TO THE DUST,
00:41:19.14\00:41:22.04
BUT IT SAYS THAT THE SERPENT
IS GOING TO EAT THE DUST.
00:41:22.04\00:41:24.25
WHAT DID THE SNAKE DO? DID
THE SNAKE DO ANYTHING WRONG,
00:41:24.25\00:41:29.12
OR WAS THE SNAKE JUST THE
PAWN AND A MEDIUM OF THE DEVIL?
00:41:29.12\00:41:33.56
SO WHY DOES GOD
CURSE THE SERPENT?
00:41:33.56\00:41:36.79
WELL, FIRST OF ALL, BECAUSE THE
SERPENT BECOMES AN ILLUSTRATION
00:41:36.79\00:41:41.00
OF THE MEDIUM OF THE DEVIL.
ALL - WAS IT JUST THE SERPENT
00:41:41.00\00:41:46.07
THAT WAS CURSED - OR
HOW MANY CREATURES SUFFERED?
00:41:46.07\00:41:48.37
>>ALL OF THEM.
>>ALL OF THE CREATURES.
00:41:48.37\00:41:50.37
NOW, WHAT DOES THAT TELL US
ABOUT SIN? THE SIN OF ADAM AND
00:41:50.37\00:41:53.17
EVE, HOW DID IT AFFECT THE REST
OF THE WORLD? THE WHOLE CREATION
00:41:53.17\00:41:57.18
GROANS AND TRAVAILS. IS
THAT FAIR FOR THE ANIMALS?
00:41:57.18\00:42:02.95
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT TELLS US
ABOUT SIN? DO GOOD PEOPLE EVER
00:42:02.95\00:42:05.89
SUFFER BECAUSE OF
DECISIONS THAT BAD PEOPLE MAKE?
00:42:05.89\00:42:10.26
A PARENT MAY DRINK DURING
PREGNANCY AND THE CHILD IS BORN
00:42:10.26\00:42:14.40
WITH A DEFECT. IS
IT THE CHILD'S FAULT?
00:42:14.40\00:42:18.97
DO INNOCENTS SUFFER BECAUSE
OF DECISIONS THAT OTHERS MAKE?
00:42:18.97\00:42:23.81
NOW, RIGHT AWAY, WE'RE LEARNING
SOMETHING ABOUT COMMUNITY - IS
00:42:23.81\00:42:26.64
THAT WHAT ONE PERSON
DOES CAN AFFECT OTHERS.
00:42:26.64\00:42:29.38
HOW MANY OF YOU
REMEMBER THE STORY OF ACHAN?
00:42:29.38\00:42:32.35
WHEN ACHAN SINNED, DID IT JUST
HURT ACHAN OR DID IT HURT THE
00:42:32.35\00:42:35.02
WHOLE ARMY?
EVERYBODY SUFFERED AS A RESULT.
00:42:35.02\00:42:39.09
AND WHEN ADAM AND EVE SINNED, IT
NOT ONLY HURT ADAM AND EVE, IT
00:42:39.09\00:42:41.42
HURT THE CREATION,
INCLUDING THE SERPENT.
00:42:41.42\00:42:44.76
AND THEN HE SAYS, IN VERSE 15 -
I SAID VERSE 15 BUT I DIDN'T PUT
00:42:44.76\00:42:53.27
IT IN HERE. HERE,
LET ME LOOK IT UP.
00:42:53.27\00:42:56.37
THIS IS THE FIRST PROPHECY THAT
YOU FIND HERE IN GENESIS CHAPTER
00:42:56.37\00:42:59.44
3:15 - I KNOW IT, I
JUST WANT TO GET IT RIGHT.
00:42:59.44\00:43:08.25
AND YOU'LL FIND ALLUSIONS TO
THIS THAT GO ON EVEN IN THE BOOK
00:43:08.25\00:43:11.29
OF REVELATION. "AND I
WILL PUT ENMITY BETWEEN
00:43:11.29\00:43:14.89
YOU AND THE WOMAN, AND BETWEEN
YOUR SEED AND HER SEED; HE SHALL
00:43:14.89\00:43:20.43
BRUISE YOUR HEAD, AND
YOU SHALL BRUISE HIS HEEL."
00:43:20.43\00:43:24.07
NOW, NOTICE HE'S TALKING TO
THE WOMAN AND SUDDENLY IT STARTS
00:43:24.07\00:43:26.20
TALKING ABOUT THE MAN - 'HE WILL
BRUISE YOUR HEAD AND YOU WILL
00:43:26.20\00:43:29.37
BRUISE HIS HEEL.'
WHAT IS THIS ENMITY?
00:43:29.37\00:43:33.74
ENMITY MEANS OPPOSITION,
ANIMOSITY, THERE'S A RESISTANCE
00:43:33.74\00:43:40.48
BETWEEN TWO FORCES,
THERE'S A WAR THAT IS GOING ON.
00:43:40.48\00:43:44.65
AND SO THERE'S THIS WAR THAT
GOES ON THROUGH THE AGES BETWEEN
00:43:44.65\00:43:49.02
THE SEED OF THE WOMAN - THE
WOMAN AND THE SEED OF THE WOMAN
00:43:49.02\00:43:52.36
- AND THE SERPENT.
NOW, DO YOU SEE THAT PLAYING
00:43:52.36\00:43:54.93
OUT THROUGH THE BIBLE?
IF YOU GO TO REVELATION, FOR
00:43:54.93\00:43:58.57
INSTANCE, AND YOU LOOK
IN REVELATION CHAPTER 12
00:43:58.57\00:44:07.14
TALKS ABOUT THIS SERPENT.
MATTER OF FACT, TURN THERE REAL
00:44:07.14\00:44:10.08
QUICK BECAUSE I WANT TO
READ A LITTLE MORE OF THAT.
00:44:10.08\00:44:15.82
REVELATION 12 TALKS ABOUT THE
ENMITY BETWEEN THE WOMAN AND THE
00:44:15.82\00:44:20.32
SERPENT. "NOW A
GREAT SIGN APPEARED IN
00:44:20.32\00:44:23.59
HEAVEN: A WOMAN CLOTHED WITH
THE SUN, WITH THE MOON UNDER HER
00:44:23.59\00:44:26.80
FEET, AND ON HER HEAD A
GARLAND OF TWELVE STARS.
00:44:26.80\00:44:29.60
THEN BEING" - WHO
IS THAT WOMAN? CHURCH.
00:44:29.60\00:44:33.44
GOOD CHURCH OR BAD
CHURCH? GOOD CHURCH.
00:44:33.44\00:44:36.57
SHE'S CLOTHED
WITH THE LIGHT OF GOD.
00:44:36.57\00:44:38.17
GOD MADE THE SUN, MOON AND STARS
- NATURAL LIGHT - "THEN, BEING
00:44:38.17\00:44:43.88
WITH CHILD, SHE CRIES OUT IN
LABOR AND PAINS TO GIVE BIRTH."
00:44:43.88\00:44:48.72
- SHE'S WANTING TO GIVE BIRTH
TO THIS PROMISED CHILD - "AND
00:44:48.72\00:44:52.89
ANOTHER SIGN APPEARED IN HEAVEN:
BEHOLD, A GREAT, FIERY RED
00:44:52.89\00:44:56.09
DRAGON HAVING SEVEN HEADS AND
TEN HORNS, AND SEVEN DIADEMS ON
00:44:56.09\00:45:00.10
HIS HEADS. HIS
TAIL DREW A THIRD OF THE
00:45:00.10\00:45:01.96
STARS OF HEAVEN AND
THREW THEM TO THE EARTH.
00:45:01.96\00:45:04.53
AND THE DRAGON STOOD BEFORE
THE WOMAN WHO WAS READY TO GIVE
00:45:04.53\00:45:06.90
BIRTH, TO DEVOUR HER CHILD...AND
SHE BROUGHT FORTH A MALE CHILD"
00:45:06.90\00:45:11.97
- WHO'S THE CHILD? >>JESUS.
00:45:11.97\00:45:13.74
>>THIS MALE CHILD "WAS TO RULE
ALL NATIONS WITH A ROD OF IRON.
00:45:13.74\00:45:17.25
AND HER CHILD WAS CAUGHT
UP TO GOD AND HIS THRONE."
00:45:17.25\00:45:19.41
SO THIS MALE CHILD IS
JESUS. THE WOMAN REPRESENTS THE
00:45:19.41\00:45:22.48
CHURCH - THE BRIDE OF
CHRIST. THE DRAGON IS THE DEVIL.
00:45:22.48\00:45:26.96
IN THE SAME CHAPTER IT SAYS,
'THAT OLD SERPENT THE DEVIL' AND
00:45:26.96\00:45:29.96
YOU CAN READ VERSE 9. "SO THE
GREAT DRAGON WAS CAST OUT, THAT
00:45:29.96\00:45:33.93
SERPENT OF OLD, CALLED THE DEVIL
AND SATAN." SO HERE YOU SEE THE
00:45:33.93\00:45:37.00
DEVIL WANTS TO
DESTROY THE SEED OF THE WOMAN.
00:45:37.00\00:45:39.33
CAN YOU THINK OF OTHER TIMES IN
THE BIBLE THAT THE DEVIL MADE AN
00:45:39.33\00:45:42.04
EFFORT TO DESTROY
THE SEED OF THE WOMAN?
00:45:42.04\00:45:45.61
IN EXODUS - IT BEGINS WITH
GENOCIDE AGAINST BABY BOYS.
00:45:45.61\00:45:51.75
THEY - THE DEVIL KNEW
THAT A SAVIOR WAS COMING.
00:45:51.75\00:45:54.48
HE THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE THE
MESSIAH SO HE HAD ALL THE BABY
00:45:54.48\00:45:56.89
BOYS THROWN TO THE
CROCODILES AND MOSES CAME ALONG.
00:45:56.89\00:46:01.69
GOD SAVED THE SEED OF THE WOMAN.
IN THE STORY OF ATHALIAH, SHE
00:46:01.69\00:46:07.73
TRIES TO WIPE OUT THE ROYAL SEED
- THE SEED OF DAVID - THE DEVIL
00:46:07.73\00:46:11.07
HEARD GOD SAY, 'DAVID, THROUGH
YOUR SEED THE MESSIAH WILL
00:46:11.07\00:46:14.87
COME.' AND SO ATHALIAH KILLS
ALL THE GRANDCHILDREN - TRIES TO
00:46:14.87\00:46:17.81
WIPE OUT THE SEED OF
DAVID, BUT ONE SURVIVES.
00:46:17.81\00:46:20.44
WHAT WAS HIS NAME? JOASH
- SOMETIMES CONFUSED WITH
00:46:20.44\00:46:23.78
JOSIAH BECAUSE
YOU'VE GOT TWO CHILD KINGS.
00:46:23.78\00:46:26.58
BUT JOASH - AND
SO ANOTHER EXAMPLE.
00:46:26.58\00:46:29.18
AND THEN HEROD, WHEN HE HEARS
THAT THIS CHILD IS BORN, HE
00:46:29.18\00:46:32.89
SENDS HIS SOLDIERS IN TO
BETHLEHEM TO DESTROY THE SEED OF
00:46:32.89\00:46:35.89
THE WOMAN - THE SEED
OF MARY, IN THIS CASE.
00:46:35.89\00:46:39.29
SEE, OUR CATHOLIC FRIENDS THINK
REVELATION 12 IS TALKING ABOUT
00:46:39.29\00:46:41.60
THE WOMAN IS MARY.
YOU'LL OFTEN SEE PICTURES OF
00:46:41.60\00:46:44.00
MARY AND SHE'S GOT TWELVE STARS
ABOVE HER HEAD, SHE'S STANDING
00:46:44.00\00:46:46.63
ON THE MOON - YOU'LL SEE A LOT
OF THOSE PICTURES IN CATHOLIC
00:46:46.63\00:46:50.34
ART, BUT THAT WOMAN IS NOT MARY
BECAUSE IT SAYS THIS WOMAN FLEES
00:46:50.34\00:46:55.11
INTO THE WILDERNESS -
I'M BACK IN REVELATION
00:46:55.11\00:46:57.48
CHAPTER 12, VERSE 6. SHE
FLEES INTO THE WILDERNESS
00:46:57.48\00:47:01.75
AFTER THE
MAN-CHILD IS CAUGHT UP.
00:47:01.75\00:47:03.52
NOW THE DEVIL VENTS HIS FURY ON
THE WOMAN BECAUSE HE CAN'T REACH
00:47:03.52\00:47:06.25
THE MAN-CHILD
ANYMORE. SO THIS IS TALKING
00:47:06.25\00:47:09.32
ABOUT GENESIS 3:15. ALL
THROUGH THE BIBLE YOU'VE
00:47:09.32\00:47:12.33
GOT THE CHURCH AT WAR WITH THE
SERPENT, WAITING TO BRING FORTH
00:47:12.33\00:47:17.47
THE MAN-CHILD - THE CHRIST
- THE MESSIAH TO THE WORLD.
00:47:17.47\00:47:21.80
AND THERE'S THIS BATTLE
BETWEEN THE TWO THAT GOES ON.
00:47:21.80\00:47:25.34
AND YOU SEE THAT ALL THE
WAY BACK THERE IN GENESIS.
00:47:25.34\00:47:27.54
ALRIGHT, SOMEONE WAS GOING
TO READ FOR US - WE'RE TALKING
00:47:27.54\00:47:31.78
ABOUT ENMITY AND ATONEMENT -
JUDE, VERSE 6 - YOU'VE GOT THAT?
00:47:31.78\00:47:38.42
MAYBE - THEY'RE NOT
READY YET SO YOU HANG ON.
00:47:38.42\00:47:40.42
I'M GOING TO READ 2 PETER
2:4 AND YOU ALL TELL ME IF THIS
00:47:40.42\00:47:43.29
SOUNDS FAMILIAR. 2
PETER 2:4, "FOR IF GOD DID NOT
00:47:43.29\00:47:47.66
SPARE THE ANGELS WHO SINNED,
BUT CAST THEM DOWN TO HELL AND
00:47:47.66\00:47:51.13
DELIVERED THEM INTO CHAINS
OF DARKNESS, TO BE RESERVED FOR
00:47:51.13\00:47:55.10
JUDGMENT;" - SO IT TELLS US THAT
THE FATE OF THE DEVIL AND HIS
00:47:55.10\00:47:59.64
ANGELS IS ALREADY SECURE.
SATAN KNOWS HE HAS A SHORT TIME.
00:47:59.64\00:48:03.65
TELL ME, DOES THAT VERSE
SOUND AT ALL LIKE JUDE 6?
00:48:03.65\00:48:06.05
GO AHEAD, READ THAT FOR US.
>>"AND THE ANGELS WHO DID NOT
00:48:06.05\00:48:08.98
KEEP THEIR PROPER DOMAIN,
BUT LEFT THEIR OWN ABODE, HE HAS
00:48:08.98\00:48:13.12
RESERVED IN EVERLASTING CHAINS
UNDER DARKNESS FOR THE JUDGMENT
00:48:13.12\00:48:16.59
OF THE GREAT DAY;"
>>SO THE BATTLE, IS IT JUST
00:48:16.59\00:48:19.93
BETWEEN CHRIST? THIS
FALL, IS IT JUST BETWEEN
00:48:19.93\00:48:23.00
CHRIST AND PEOPLE, OR
WAS THERE A FALL IN HEAVEN?
00:48:23.00\00:48:27.87
DOES THE RESTORATION JUST NEED
TO HAPPEN ON EARTH OR DO THINGS
00:48:27.87\00:48:30.34
IN HEAVEN NEED TO BE RESTORED?
THIS TERRIBLE REBELLION OF
00:48:30.34\00:48:35.18
LUCIFER HAS INFECTED AND
AFFECTED ALL OF CREATION.
00:48:35.18\00:48:39.65
AND JESUS, OFTEN, WHEN HE
WAS TEACHING - YOU CAN LOOK IN
00:48:39.65\00:48:42.25
MATTHEW 8:29 - THE DEMON
SUDDENLY CRIED OUT, 'WHAT HAVE
00:48:42.25\00:48:46.25
WE TO DO WITH YE
JESUS, SON OF GOD?
00:48:46.25\00:48:48.52
HAVE YOU COME TO
TORMENT US BEFORE THE TIME?'
00:48:48.52\00:48:51.16
DO THEY KNOW THERE'S A TIME
COMING WHEN THEIR NUMBER IS UP?
00:48:51.16\00:48:55.43
THEY'RE RESERVED IN
EVERLASTING CHAINS OF DARKNESS.
00:48:55.43\00:48:57.87
THE DEVIL KNOWS
HE HAS A SHORT TIME.
00:48:57.87\00:49:00.37
THEY HAVE BEEN RESTRICTED
TO THIS PLANET FROM THE TIME OF
00:49:00.37\00:49:03.04
CHRIST. ALRIGHT,
RESTORATION AND JESUS.
00:49:03.04\00:49:05.74
NOW, THIS IS ONE OF THE
MOST IMPORTANT SECTIONS.
00:49:05.74\00:49:08.01
SOMEONE'S GOING TO READ FOR
ME 1 CORINTHIANS 15:49 - JUST A
00:49:08.01\00:49:12.11
MOMENT. ALRIGHT,
GALATIANS 4:19, "MY
00:49:12.11\00:49:15.68
LITTLE CHILDREN, FOR WHOM
I LABOR IN BIRTH AGAIN UNTIL
00:49:15.68\00:49:19.29
CHRIST IS FORMED IN YOU," - WHAT
IS THE PURPOSE - WHAT IS THE
00:49:19.29\00:49:22.92
RESTORATION THAT WE'RE LOOKING
FOR? WHAT IS A CHRISTIAN?
00:49:22.92\00:49:26.83
CHRIST BEING BORN IN US;
US BECOMING NEW CREATURES.
00:49:26.83\00:49:31.97
LOOK AT ROMANS 8:29, "FOR WHOM
HE FOREKNEW, HE ALSO PREDESTINED
00:49:31.97\00:49:36.50
TO BE CONFORMED TO THE IMAGE OF
HIS SON," - DON'T GET HUNG UP ON
00:49:36.50\00:49:39.14
THE PREDESTINED PART, JUST KNOW
THAT HE WANTS US TO BE CONFORMED
00:49:39.14\00:49:43.35
TO THE IMAGE OF HIS SON - "THAT
HE MIGHT BE THE FIRSTBORN AMONG
00:49:43.35\00:49:47.72
MANY BRETHREN."
EPHESIANS 4:24, "AND THAT YOU
00:49:47.72\00:49:52.05
PUT ON THE NEW MAN" - THAT'S
SOMETHING ACTIVE THAT YOU'RE
00:49:52.05\00:49:56.06
INVOLVED IN - "PUT ON THE NEW
MAN WHICH WAS CREATED ACCORDING
00:49:56.06\00:49:59.36
TO GOD, IN TRUE
RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HOLINESS."
00:49:59.36\00:50:03.26
PHILIPPIANS 2:5, "LET THIS MIND
BE IN YOU" - YOU MUST CHOOSE TO
00:50:03.26\00:50:07.34
ALLOW - "LET THIS MIND BE
IN YOU" - PUTTING ON CHRIST -
00:50:07.34\00:50:11.97
PUTTING ON THE ARMOR - LETTING
HIM BE IN YOU - "WHICH WAS ALSO
00:50:11.97\00:50:15.51
IN CHRIST JESUS," - HE
WANTS THE MIND OF CHRIST IN US.
00:50:15.51\00:50:18.95
WE MAY NOT LOOK LIKE - VERY FEW
OF US DO - THE TYPICAL ARTISTS'
00:50:18.95\00:50:23.79
RENDITIONS OF JESUS WE SEE, WITH
THE HAZEL HAIR AND THE BEARD AND
00:50:23.79\00:50:27.66
- THE HAZEL EYES
AND CHESTNUT HAIR.
00:50:27.66\00:50:32.19
NOW WHEN IT SAYS THE IMAGE OF
CHRIST, DON'T THINK ABOUT THAT.
00:50:32.19\00:50:35.70
THINK ABOUT THE CHARACTER
OF CHRIST BECAUSE WE DON'T EVEN
00:50:35.70\00:50:37.57
KNOW EXACTLY WHAT JESUS LOOKED
LIKE, BUT WE KNOW HOW JESUS
00:50:37.57\00:50:41.37
ACTED. YOU CAN LOOK AT HIS WORD.
00:50:41.37\00:50:44.14
GO AHEAD, READ FOR US,
PLEASE, 1 CORINTHIANS 15:49.
00:50:44.14\00:50:48.48
>>"AND AS WE HAVE BORNE THE
IMAGE OF THE MAN OF DUST, WE
00:50:48.48\00:50:52.78
SHALL ALSO BEAR THE
IMAGE OF THE HEAVENLY MAN."
00:50:52.78\00:50:57.29
>>PAUL IS SAYING IN THE SAME
WAY WE BEAR THE IMAGE OF ADAM -
00:50:57.29\00:50:59.95
REMEMBER, GOD SAID TO ADAM,
'DUST YOU ARE AND TO DUST YOU'RE
00:50:59.95\00:51:02.42
GOING TO RETURN'? -
JUST AS REAL AS WE HAVE THE
00:51:02.42\00:51:04.96
IMAGE OF THE FIRST ADAM, WE
CAN BEAR THE IMAGE OF THE SECOND
00:51:04.96\00:51:08.83
ADAM, JESUS. HOW WAS JESUS
BORN? A MIRACLE CONCEPTION.
00:51:08.83\00:51:15.14
HOW ARE WE BORN
AGAIN? A MIRACLE.
00:51:15.14\00:51:17.71
DOESN'T MAKE FAITH. YOU
KNOW HOW JESUS WAS BORN?
00:51:17.71\00:51:21.71
MARY SAID, AFTER SHE HEARD THE
WORD OF THE ANGEL, 'BE IT UNTO
00:51:21.71\00:51:24.98
YOUR SERVANT AS YOU
HAVE SAID.' BE IT UNTO ME.
00:51:24.98\00:51:28.48
AND WHEN GOD SAYS YOU CAN BE
A NEW CREATURE, YOU, LIKE MARY
00:51:28.48\00:51:31.12
SAY, 'LORD, LET ME
EXPERIENCE THAT NEW BIRTH.
00:51:31.12\00:51:33.59
AND BY FAITH SOMETHING HAPPENS
IN THE HEART AND WE BECOME
00:51:33.59\00:51:37.79
TRANSFORMED SO THAT WE'RE
NOT THE OLD CREATURES, WE ARE
00:51:37.79\00:51:41.73
BECOMING NEW CREATURES.
LET ME READ THIS STATEMENT FROM
00:51:41.73\00:51:45.00
PATRIARCHS AND PROPHETS
P. 595, "IN THE BEGINNING GOD
00:51:45.00\00:51:50.77
CREATED MAN IN HIS OWN
LIKENESS. HE ENDOWED HIM WITH
00:51:50.77\00:51:53.44
NOBLE QUALITIES. HIS
MIND WAS WELL-BALANCED AND
00:51:53.44\00:51:56.64
ALL THE POWERS OF HIS BEING WERE
HARMONIOUS. BUT THE FALL AND ITS
00:51:56.64\00:52:00.98
EFFECTS HAVE PERVERTED THESE
GIFTS. SIN HAS MARRED AND WELL
00:52:00.98\00:52:05.29
NIGH OBLITERATED
THE IMAGE OF GOD IN MAN.
00:52:05.29\00:52:08.49
IT WAS TO RESTORE THIS THAT THE
PLAN OF SALVATION WAS DEVISED
00:52:08.49\00:52:13.09
AND A LIFE OF PROBATION WAS
GRANTED TO MAN - YOU AND I JUST
00:52:13.09\00:52:16.40
HAVE ONE LIFE - TO BRING HIM
BACK TO PERFECTION, IN WHICH HE
00:52:16.40\00:52:20.37
WAS FIRST CREATED AND
WAS THE GREAT OBJECT OF LIFE.
00:52:20.37\00:52:24.07
THE OBJECT THAT UNDERLIES
EVERY OTHER - THE OBJECT THAT
00:52:24.07\00:52:27.44
UNDERLIES EVERY OTHER IS
TO RESTORE IN US THE IMAGE OF
00:52:27.44\00:52:31.91
CHRIST. A CHRISTIAN
IS A FOLLOWER OF JESUS.
00:52:31.91\00:52:35.15
OUR HIGHEST GOAL
IS TO BE LIKE JESUS.
00:52:35.15\00:52:37.72
FIND OUT WHAT JESUS
IS LIKE. GET TO KNOW HIM.
00:52:37.72\00:52:41.06
ISN'T THAT WHAT IT
SAYS? YOU'VE GOT TO KNOW HIM.
00:52:41.06\00:52:43.56
HOW CAN YOU BE LIKE
HIM IF YOU DON'T KNOW HIM?
00:52:43.56\00:52:46.09
BUT TAKE YOUR TIME GETTING TO
KNOW CHRIST AND THEN PUTTING ON
00:52:46.09\00:52:48.83
CHRIST. SAY,
'LORD, I WANT TO BE LIKE
00:52:48.83\00:52:50.77
YOU IN THIS AND I WANT
TO BE LIKE YOU IN THAT.
00:52:50.77\00:52:53.20
AND I WANT TO THINK YOUR
THOUGHTS.' AND WHEN WE HAVE THE
00:52:53.20\00:52:54.90
WRONG THOUGHTS, WE PRAY AND
WE REJECT THAT AND WE INVITE HIS
00:52:54.90\00:52:58.71
SPIRIT IN. AND IT'S AN ONGOING
- IT'S AN ONGOING BATTLE.
00:52:58.71\00:53:03.55
AND THEN WE'VE GOT ANOTHER
SECTION WE DON'T REALLY HAVE
00:53:03.55\00:53:06.15

>>ON CHRISTMAS EVE 1971,
17-YEAR-OLD JULIANE KOEPCKE
00:54:57.89\00:55:02.93
BOARDED LANSA FLIGHT #508
WITH HER MOTHER IN LIMA, PERU.
00:55:02.93\00:55:06.74
THEY INTENDED TO JOIN HER FATHER
FOR CHRISTMAS AT HIS RESEARCH
00:55:06.74\00:55:10.47
STATION IN THE
AMAZON RAIN FOREST.
00:55:10.47\00:55:13.14
AFTER CROSSING THE ANDES
AT ABOUT 21,000 FEET, THEIR
00:55:13.14\00:55:16.71
AIRCRAFT WAS ENVELOPED BY
LARGE, DARK THUNDERCLOUDS AND IT
00:55:16.71\00:55:20.48
ENCOUNTERED SEVERE TURBULENCE.
LIGHTNING WAS FLASHING
00:55:20.48\00:55:23.75
EVERYWHERE AND THE PLANE
WAS SHAKEN VIOLENTLY, WHICH
00:55:23.75\00:55:26.55
NATURALLY
TERRIFIED THE PASSENGERS.
00:55:26.55\00:55:28.96
THEN, A BOLT OF LIGHTNING STRUCK
THE PLANE'S ENGINE AND TORE OFF
00:55:28.96\00:55:33.13
A WING. AS THE
DOOMED AIRLINER HURTLED
00:55:33.13\00:55:36.30
TOWARDS THE EARTH, THE CABIN
CAME APART AND THE NEXT THING
00:55:36.30\00:55:39.67
SHE KNEW, JULIANE FOUND HERSELF
STRAPPED ALONE TO A ROW OF SEATS
00:55:39.67\00:55:43.94
FALLING AND SPINNING
SILENTLY FROM OVER 10,000 FEET
00:55:43.94\00:55:47.58
ABOVE THE RAIN FOREST. SHE
PLUMMETED THROUGH THE JUNGLE
00:55:47.58\00:55:50.75
CANOPY AND SLAMMED
ON THE FOREST FLOOR.
00:55:50.75\00:55:53.35
WHEN SHE AWOKE THE NEXT DAY,
JULIANE WAS AMAZED TO REALIZE
00:55:53.35\00:55:57.05
SHE HAD SURVIVED THE
TWO-MILE FALL WITH JUST A BROKEN
00:55:57.05\00:56:00.52
COLLARBONE AND A
BAD GASH IN HER ARM.
00:56:00.52\00:56:03.43
AFTER FAILING TO FIND ANY OTHER
SURVIVORS, JULIANE RELIED ON
00:56:03.43\00:56:07.03
WHAT HER FATHER HAD TAUGHT HER:
THAT WALKING DOWNSTREAM WILL
00:56:07.03\00:56:10.43
ALWAYS LEAD TO CIVILIZATION.
SO, WITH A BAG OF CANDY THAT HAD
00:56:10.43\00:56:14.84
FALLEN FROM THE PLANE AND
ONE SANDAL, SHE STARTED WALKING.
00:56:14.84\00:56:18.64
FOR TEN DAYS JULIANE HOBBLED,
SWAM, OR FLOATED DOWNSTREAM.
00:56:18.64\00:56:23.28
HER WOUNDS BECAME INFECTED AND
SHE WAS PLAGUED BY MAGGOTS WHILE
00:56:23.28\00:56:26.48
HAVING TO DODGE CROCODILES,
PIRANHAS, AND RELENTLESS
00:56:26.48\00:56:29.75
INSECTS.
EVENTUALLY SHE CAME TO A SHACK
00:56:29.75\00:56:33.86
WHERE SHE SLEPT AND SHE WAS SOON
DISCOVERED BY PERUVIAN LOGGERS.
00:56:33.86\00:56:37.66
EVENTUALLY JULIANE WAS
UNITED WITH HER AMAZED FATHER.
00:56:37.66\00:56:42.00
IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE A
17-YEAR-OLD GIRL SURVIVING SUCH
00:56:42.00\00:56:45.13
A FALL AND THEN HIKING
ALONE OUT OF THE WORLD'S LARGEST
00:56:45.13\00:56:48.60
RAINFOREST. YOU
KNOW, THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT
00:56:48.60\00:56:51.87
SOME WHO SURVIVED AN EVEN
GREATER FALL THAN JULIANE.
00:56:51.87\00:56:55.34
IN FACT, ACCORDING TO THE
SCRIPTURES, WHEN ADAM AND EVE
00:56:55.34\00:56:58.08
FELL IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN,
IT BROUGHT THE WHOLE HUMAN RACE
00:56:58.08\00:57:00.95
DOWN. BUT JESUS CAME TO
REDEEM THE WORLD FROM SIN.
00:57:00.95\00:57:05.15
PERHAPS YOU'RE THINKING TO
YOURSELF, 'WELL, THAT'S OKAY FOR
00:57:05.15\00:57:07.72
THE WORLD, BUT
I'VE FALLEN TOO FAR.
00:57:07.72\00:57:10.96
WELL, IF THE LORD CAN
SAVE JULIANE, GOD CAN SAVE YOU.
00:57:10.96\00:57:14.30
YOU'VE NOT GONE FARTHER THAN
MOSES, WHO WAS GUILTY OF MURDER,
00:57:14.30\00:57:17.23
OR DAVID, WHO WAS GUILTY OF
ADULTERY, OR PETER, WHO DENIED
00:57:17.23\00:57:20.47
JESUS - AND ALL OF THEM WERE
SAVED AND RESTORED FROM THEIR
00:57:20.47\00:57:24.17
FALL. OR MAYBE
YOU'RE THINKING, 'I'VE
00:57:24.17\00:57:26.68
FALLEN TOO MANY
TIMES.' BE OF GOOD COURAGE.
00:57:26.68\00:57:29.78
IT SAYS IN PROVERBS CHAPTER 24,
VERSE 16, "FOR A RIGHTEOUS MAN
00:57:29.78\00:57:33.38
MAY FALL SEVEN TIMES AND RISE
AGAIN" - AND JESUS CAST SEVEN
00:57:33.38\00:57:37.12
DEVILS OUT OF MARY MAGDALENE.
SO DON'T GET DISCOURAGED,
00:57:37.12\00:57:40.19
FRIEND, IF YOU'VE
FALLEN, GET BACK UP AGAIN.
00:57:40.19\00:57:42.86
THE SAME WAY THAT HE COULD SAVE
JULIANE - LEAD HER FROM THAT
00:57:42.86\00:57:45.83
LOST CONDITION IN THE RAINFOREST
AND RESTORE HER TO HER FATHER,
00:57:45.83\00:57:49.73
JESUS CAN LEAD YOU FROM YOUR
LOST CONDITION AND RESTORE YOU
00:57:49.73\00:57:53.07
TO YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER. (MUSIC)
