'TWAS GRACE THAT TAUGHT MY HEART
TO FEAR, AND GRACE MY FEARS
00:03:13.59\00:03:26.60
RELIEVED; HOW PRECIOUS DID THAT
GRACE APPEAR THE HOUR I FIRST
00:03:26.60\00:03:44.15

00:04:44.35\00:04:59.96
>>YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES FOR FUN
I LIKE TO JUST THINK ABOUT WHAT
00:04:59.96\00:05:02.30
ETERNITY FEELS LIKE AND I CAN'T
EVEN IMAGINE. AND YOUR MIND JUST
00:05:02.30\00:05:06.90
KIND OF GETS LOST IN SPACE
THINKING WHAT THAT IS GOING TO
00:05:06.90\00:05:10.14
BE. WHAT A
BLESSED HOPE WE HAVE THAT
00:05:10.14\00:05:12.64
WE CAN SPEND FOREVER WITH JESUS
AND IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF HIS
00:05:12.64\00:05:17.98
GRACE THAT HE POURED OUT FREELY
FOR US - THAT WE DO NOT DESERVE,
00:05:17.98\00:05:21.75
BUT WE ARE SO GRATEFUL
THAT HE LOVES US THAT MUCH.
00:05:21.75\00:05:26.89

>>MARVELOUS GRACE OF OUR LOVING
LORD, GRACE THAT EXCEEDS OUR
00:05:48.68\00:05:57.65
SIN AND OUR GUILT!
YONDER ON CALVARY'S MOUNT
00:05:57.65\00:06:04.86
OUTPOURED - THERE WHERE THE
BLOOD OF THE LAMB WAS SPILT.
00:06:04.86\00:06:13.13
GRACE, GRACE, GOD'S GRACE, GRACE
THAT WILL PARDON AND CLEANSE
00:06:13.13\00:06:23.11
WITHIN; GRACE, GRACE, GOD'S
GRACE, GRACE THAT IS GREATER

THAN ALL OUR SIN!
SIN AND DESPAIR, LIKE THE
00:06:33.82\00:06:41.63

UNTOLD - POINTS TO THE REFUGE,
00:06:51.77\00:06:59.58
THE MIGHTY CROSS. GRACE,

AT THIS TIME, PASTOR
ROSS WILL LEAD US IN PRAYER.
00:08:26.43\00:08:34.38
>>LET US BOW OUR
HEADS FOR PRAYER.
00:08:34.38\00:08:36.21
DEAR FATHER IN HEAVEN, WHAT
A PRIVILEGE IT IS FOR US TO BE
00:08:36.21\00:08:38.91
ABLE TO GATHER TOGETHER ON THIS
THE SABBATH, TO OPEN UP YOUR

WORD AND STUDY. AND
TODAY, AS WE LOOK AT THE
00:08:41.15\00:08:43.75
STORY OF JOB AND CATCH A GLIMPSE
OF THE GREAT CONTROVERSY, THE
00:08:43.75\00:08:47.46
EVENTS TAKING PLACE ARE
UNSEEN AND, YET, AROUND US.
00:08:47.46\00:08:51.13
I DO PRAY THAT WE WOULD HAVE
INSIGHT AND UNDERSTANDING - THAT
00:08:51.13\00:08:54.20
THE SPIRIT WOULD LEAD US, SO
BLESS OUR TIME TOGETHER, FOR WE
00:08:54.20\00:08:57.20
ASK THIS IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN.

MEMBERS THAT ARE AROUND THE
WORLD. THERE'S PEOPLE THAT, FOR
00:09:25.39\00:09:28.63
SOME REASON, THERE'S NO LOCAL
CHURCH THAT THEY CAN ATTEND AND
00:09:28.63\00:09:31.57
SO THEY'VE BECOME
SOME OF OUR ONLINE MEMBERS.
00:09:31.57\00:09:33.84
WE WANT TO WELCOME THE
ONLINE GRANITE BAY MEMBERS.
00:09:33.84\00:09:36.27
MAYBE YOU'RE A VIEWER AND YOU'RE
IN THAT CATEGORY WHERE THERE'S
00:09:36.27\00:09:39.34
NO LOCAL CHURCH YOU CAN ATTEND;
YOU'D LIKE TO KNOW 'HOW DO I
00:09:39.34\00:09:42.41
BECOME CONNECTED TO
THE GRANITE BAY CHURCH?'
00:09:42.41\00:09:45.21
JUST GO TO GRANITEBAYSDA.ORG
AND WE'LL - CONTACT US THERE AND
00:09:45.21\00:09:51.05
WE'LL GIVE YOU SOME INFORMATION
ON THAT. WE DON'T WANT ANYONE
00:09:51.05\00:09:53.46
TO BE OUT THERE BY THEMSELVES.
WE'RE IN OUR LESSON DEALING WITH
00:09:53.46\00:09:58.43
THE SUBJECT OF JOB AND THIS
IS - THIS IS ONE OF THE GREAT,
00:09:58.43\00:10:03.03
SPLENDID,
OUTSTANDING BOOKS IN THE BIBLE.
00:10:03.03\00:10:05.60
LITTLE PREVIEW: AS WE MENTIONED
EARLIER, JOB IS PROBABLY THE
00:10:05.60\00:10:10.07
FIRST BOOK THAT WAS WRITTEN,
PROBABLY WRITTEN BY MOSES WHILE
00:10:10.07\00:10:13.71
HE WAS IN THE WILDERNESS
EVEN BEFORE HE WROTE GENESIS.
00:10:13.71\00:10:17.68
SOME OF THE SIMILAR, ANCIENT
LANGUAGE THAT WAS USED - AND IT
00:10:17.68\00:10:21.92
TALKS ABOUT A MAN, WE LEARNED IN
OUR LAST LESSON, WHO WAS LIVING,
00:10:21.92\00:10:26.92
ROUGHLY DURING THE TIME OF
ESAU'S DESCENDENTS AND WHERE THE
00:10:26.92\00:10:31.66
EDOMITES SETTLED IN THE LAND
OF UZ, WAS THERE IN THE LAND OF
00:10:31.66\00:10:36.70
EDOM. IT WAS -
THEY CALLED HIM ONE OF
00:10:36.70\00:10:39.47
THE GREATEST OF THE MEN OF THE
EAST - AND THAT'S TALKING ABOUT
00:10:39.47\00:10:42.44
EAST OF EGYPT - EAST OF WHERE
THE LAND OF ISRAEL WAS - AND
00:10:42.44\00:10:47.34
THAT'S WHERE EDOM WAS,
SORT OF SOUTHEAST - THAT'S WHAT
00:10:47.34\00:10:49.48
THEY CALLED THAT TERRITORY.
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT YOU FIND HIS
00:10:49.48\00:10:53.45
NAME MENTIONED AS A
KING OF EDOM NAMED JOBAB.
00:10:53.45\00:10:58.25
WE DON'T KNOW THAT, BUT THERE
WAS A KING - BECAUSE WHEN YOU
00:10:58.25\00:11:00.82
READ ABOUT JOB -
MAYBE WE SHOULD GO THERE.
00:11:00.82\00:11:02.82
WE'RE GOING TO BE READING
SOME OF THE FIRST VERSES OF JOB.
00:11:02.82\00:11:05.03
TURN TO THE BOOK OF JOB,
CHAPTER 1 AND MAYBE I'LL READ
00:11:05.03\00:11:09.06
VERSES 1 THROUGH 4, "THERE WAS
A MAN" - THE WHOLE BOOK IS ABOUT
00:11:09.06\00:11:14.60
THIS INCREDIBLE MAN - "IN
THE LAND OF UZ," - NO, NOT OZ,
00:11:14.60\00:11:19.74
DIFFERENT PLACE - "WHOSE
NAME WAS JOB; AND THAT MAN WAS
00:11:19.74\00:11:25.11
BLAMELESS" - AND THE WORD
'JOB' WE LEARNED MEANS 'SOMEONE
00:11:25.11\00:11:27.85
AFFLICTED' OR 'PERSECUTED' -
"AND THAT MAN WAS BLAMELESS" - I
00:11:27.85\00:11:33.59
THINK KING JAMES SAYS 'PERFECT'
AND THAT KIND OF MAKES US
00:11:33.59\00:11:35.69
NERVOUS. OF COURSE, JESUS SAID,
'BE YE PERFECT THEREFORE AS YOUR
00:11:35.69\00:11:39.43
FATHER IN HEAVEN IS PERFECT.'
HE ALSO SAID, 'BE YE THEREFORE
00:11:39.43\00:11:41.60
MERCIFUL AS YOUR FATHER
IN HEAVEN IS MERCIFUL' - "AND
00:11:41.60\00:11:46.10
UPRIGHT," - NOW LET ME
STOP BEFORE I GO ANY FURTHER.
00:11:46.10\00:11:48.44
CAN YOU NAME SOME OTHER PEOPLE
IN THE BIBLE THAT ARE IDENTIFIED
00:11:48.44\00:11:51.34
AS BLAMELESS? I
CAN'T HEAR, I'M SORRY.
00:11:51.34\00:11:57.35
>>DANIEL. >>DANIEL.
00:11:57.35\00:11:58.88
WHERE DOES IT
SAY HE'S BLAMELESS?
00:11:58.88\00:12:04.32
I BELIEVE HE WAS - I BELIEVE HE
WOULD QUALIFY, BUT IT SAYS 'HE
00:12:04.32\00:12:07.32
WAS GREATLY BELOVED OF HEAVEN.'
DO YOU REMEMBER ZACHARIAH AND
00:12:07.32\00:12:12.83
ELIZABETH? 'THEY WALKED IN
ALL THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE LORD
00:12:12.83\00:12:16.30
BLAMELESS.' AND THERE'S A COUPLE
OF OTHER CHARACTERS - NOT TOO
00:12:16.30\00:12:21.14
MANY - IT SAYS OF HEZEKIAH, 'HE
WALKED IN ALL THE COMMANDMENTS
00:12:21.14\00:12:24.14
OF THE LORD, BLAMELESS AS HIS
FATHER DAVID' - BUT THEN LATER
00:12:24.14\00:12:27.08
HEZEKIAH, HE HAD A BOUT
WITH PRIDE, IF YOU REMEMBER.
00:12:27.08\00:12:31.95
BUT DOES THAT MEAN THEY
WERE PERFECT OR SINLESS? NO,
00:12:31.95\00:12:35.62
BECAUSE HOW MANY
HAVE SINNED? >>ALL.
00:12:35.62\00:12:37.59
>>ALL EXCEPT WHO? >>JESUS.
00:12:37.59\00:12:39.95
>>RIGHT, SO LET'S MAKE
SURE THERE'S THAT ONE EXCEPTION.
00:12:39.95\00:12:42.29
IT SAYS, 'WHO DID NO SIN' -
JESUS IS THE ONE WHO DID NO SIN.
00:12:42.29\00:12:45.76
SO WHEN IT TALKS ABOUT JOB
BEING A PERFECT OR UPRIGHT OR
00:12:45.76\00:12:48.56
BLAMELESS MAN, IT MEANS HE
WAS CONSISTENTLY A GODLY PERSON.
00:12:48.56\00:12:54.47
AND HOW IS THAT CATEGORIZED?
00:12:54.47\00:12:57.14
HE FEARED GOD AND HATED
OR ESCHEWED OR SHUNNED EVIL.
00:12:57.14\00:13:03.78
HE HAD REVERENCE FOR
GOD AND HE HATED EVIL.
00:13:03.78\00:13:07.95
AND THEN IT GOES ON AND TELLS
US A LITTLE MORE ABOUT HIM, BUT
00:13:07.95\00:13:09.95
WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET INTO
THAT JUST YET IN OUR LESSON.
00:13:09.95\00:13:12.99
SO WHEN YOU FIRST READ THIS,
OUR FIRST SECTION - OH, YOU KNOW
00:13:12.99\00:13:15.89
WHAT I FORGOT? YOU GUYS HAVE
TO HELP ME - OUR MEMORY VERSE.
00:13:15.89\00:13:20.16
ALRIGHT, WE'VE GOT A MEMORY
VERSE - ZECHARIAH 3:2 - AND HERE
00:13:20.16\00:13:25.40
IT'S FROM THE, I BELIEVE IT'S
THE KING JAMES VERSION IN THE
00:13:25.40\00:13:30.07
LESSON - ARE YOU READY?
ZECHARIAH 3:2 - SAY THAT WITH
00:13:30.07\00:13:32.77
ME, "AND THE LORD SAID UNTO
SATAN, THE LORD REBUKE THEE, O
00:13:32.77\00:13:38.28
SATAN; EVEN THE LORD THAT HATH
CHOSEN JERUSALEM REBUKE THEE: IS
00:13:38.28\00:13:43.62
NOT THIS A BRAND
PLUCKED OUT OF THE FIRE?"
00:13:43.62\00:13:47.02
YOU'VE HEARD THE EXPRESSION 'A
BRAND PLUCKED FROM THE BURNING'?
00:13:47.02\00:13:50.19
SO THE WHOLE LESSON HERE IS
REALLY DEALING WITH THE GREAT
00:13:50.19\00:13:54.46
CONTROVERSY BETWEEN GOOD AND
EVIL AND THIS IS - THE STORY OF
00:13:54.46\00:13:59.93
JOB REALLY DOES SHOW THESE TWO
GREAT, TITANIC FORCES - ONE OF
00:13:59.93\00:14:04.84
GOOD AND ONE OF EVIL - IN
THIS CONTEST THAT IS GOING ON.
00:14:04.84\00:14:08.98
YOU KNOW, NOT TOO MANY PEOPLE,
I THINK, UNDERSTAND THE THEME OF
00:14:08.98\00:14:13.85
THE GREAT BATTLE - THE GREAT
CONTROVERSY BETWEEN GOOD AND
00:14:13.85\00:14:17.22
EVIL - LIKE
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS.
00:14:17.22\00:14:19.52
YOU KNOW, AMAZING
FACTS, A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO,
00:14:19.52\00:14:21.49
WE PUT OUT A DVD
CALLED COSMIC CONFLICT .
00:14:21.49\00:14:24.59
WELL, IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT'S
THE NAME OF ONE OF OUR SECTIONS
00:14:24.59\00:14:26.90
HERE IN A MINUTE AND I WAS
AT A RELIGIOUS BROADCASTERS
00:14:26.90\00:14:32.47
CONVENTION, WHERE ALL THESE
DIFFERENT RELIGIOUS BROADCASTERS
00:14:32.47\00:14:35.77
COME TOGETHER AND WE BUY
STATIONS AND WE TALK ABOUT
00:14:35.77\00:14:38.64
UPHOLDING FREEDOM TO BROADCAST
AND IT'S A NEAT CONVENTION.
00:14:38.64\00:14:42.34
AND THIS ENTOURAGE - SUSAN WAS
THERE AND SHE WAS WALKING - SHE
00:14:42.34\00:14:47.88
WAS TAKING CARE OF THE BOOTH
- AND THIS ENTOURAGE OF A COUPLE
00:14:47.88\00:14:52.15
OF PRIESTS AND ABOUT FIVE NUNS
WAS WALKING UP THE AISLE AND
00:14:52.15\00:14:55.99
THEY CAME BY THE AMAZING FACTS
BOOTH AND THEY ALL BEGAN TO TALK
00:14:55.99\00:14:59.49
TO EACH OTHER IN FRENCH AND
WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THEY WERE
00:14:59.49\00:15:03.73
SAYING. AND THEN
THEY CAME OVER AND
00:15:03.73\00:15:05.53
THEY SAID, 'OH, WE LOVE AMAZING
FACTS.' THEY SAID, 'WE REALLY
00:15:05.53\00:15:09.37
LIKE YOUR COSMIC CONFLICT
DVD THAT TALKS ABOUT THE BATTLE
00:15:09.37\00:15:13.44
BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL. WE WATCH
IT ALL THE TIME. WE SHARE IT
00:15:13.44\00:15:16.78
WITH OTHERS.' I GOT TO THE
BOOTH AND SUSAN WAS ALL EXCITED.
00:15:16.78\00:15:20.52
SHE SAID, 'SEE THAT GROUP
OF PRIESTS AND NUNS OVER THERE?
00:15:20.52\00:15:23.42
THEY SAID THAT JUST LOVE OUR
COSMIC CONFLICT DVD' - BECAUSE
00:15:23.42\00:15:26.39
THERE'S REALLY NOTHING IN
THERE THAT THEY DISAGREE WITH.
00:15:26.39\00:15:28.42
IT ALL TALKS ABOUT THE ORIGIN
OF EVIL AND SATAN'S DESIRE FOR
00:15:28.42\00:15:31.53
PRIDE AND THEY JUST - SO I WENT
AND I GOT A PICTURE WITH THEM.
00:15:31.53\00:15:33.76
I DON'T KNOW IF ANY
OF YOU EVER SAW THAT.
00:15:33.76\00:15:35.10
I HAD A PICTURE OF THEM HOLDING
THE COSMIC CONFLICT DVD AND I'M
00:15:35.10\00:15:38.50
STANDING THERE WITH
ABOUT EIGHT PRIESTS AND NUNS.
00:15:38.50\00:15:41.50
THEY WERE FROM A DIOCESE THAT
- NEAR THE CANADIAN BORDER, I
00:15:41.50\00:15:44.81
THINK - THAT SPOKE
FRENCH AND ENGLISH.
00:15:44.81\00:15:46.98
ANYWAY, BUT THIS IS A SUBJECT
THAT MOST CHRISTIANS SAY,
00:15:46.98\00:15:51.05
'ALRIGHT, GOD IS GOOD.
THERE'S EVIL IN THE WORLD. WHY?'
00:15:51.05\00:15:57.15
AND THE BOOK OF JOB IS DEALING
WITH WHAT IS GOING ON BEHIND THE
00:15:57.15\00:16:01.49
VEIL. WHAT'S
CAUSING THIS BATTLE?
00:16:01.49\00:16:03.63
WHY IS - IF GOD IS GOOD AND GOD
IS LOVE AND GOD IS POWERFUL, WHY
00:16:03.63\00:16:07.20
DO INNOCENT PEOPLE SUFFER?
AND WHY DOES IT MEAN ONCE YOU
00:16:07.20\00:16:10.80
ACCEPT JESUS, YOUR
SUFFERING DOESN'T STOP?
00:16:10.80\00:16:13.64
WHY, WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO
BE GODLY AND FEAR GOD AND HATE
00:16:13.64\00:16:16.34
EVIL, ALL THESE
THINGS MIGHT HAPPEN?
00:16:16.34\00:16:18.91
AND THE BOOK OF JOB REALLY
GIVES US SOME ANSWERS OF WHAT'S
00:16:18.91\00:16:21.94
HAPPENING BEHIND THE SCENES.
ALRIGHT, IT TELLS US THAT THIS
00:16:21.94\00:16:26.05
MAN WAS ONE OF THE
GREATEST MEN OF ALL THE EAST.
00:16:26.05\00:16:29.45
YOU GO TO VERSE 3, "ALSO, HIS
POSSESSIONS WERE SEVEN THOUSAND
00:16:29.45\00:16:33.36
SHEEP, THREE THOUSAND CAMELS,
FIVE HUNDRED YOKE OF OXEN, FIVE
00:16:33.36\00:16:39.56
HUNDRED FEMALE DONKEYS, AND
A VERY LARGE HOUSEHOLD, SO THAT
00:16:39.56\00:16:44.27
THIS MAN WAS THE GREATEST
OF ALL THE PEOPLE OF THE EAST.
00:16:44.27\00:16:47.77
AND HIS SONS WOULD GO AND FEAST
IN THEIR HOUSES, EACH ON HIS
00:16:47.77\00:16:51.64
APPOINTED DAY, AND WOULD SEND
AND INVITE THEIR THREE SISTERS
00:16:51.64\00:16:55.11
TO EAT AND DRINK WITH THEM."
SO HE HAD SEVEN SONS, THREE
00:16:55.11\00:16:59.15
DAUGHTERS - HAVE YOU NOTICED
SOMETHING ABOUT THE NUMBERS
00:16:59.15\00:17:01.88
THAT WE'VE JUST READ? YOU
EVER OBSERVE, IN THE BIBLE,
00:17:01.88\00:17:06.96
CERTAIN NUMBERS APPEAR
MORE FREQUENTLY THAN OTHERS?
00:17:06.96\00:17:11.39
WOULD YOU AGREE THAT THERE ARE
CERTAIN NUMBERS THAT APPEAR TO
00:17:11.39\00:17:14.73
BE SYMBOLIC NUMBERS, OR NUMBERS
THAT AT LEAST HAVE A SYMBOLIC
00:17:14.73\00:17:19.73
MEANING TO THEM?
WHAT WOULD SOME OF
00:17:19.73\00:17:23.27
THOSE NUMBERS BE? >>SEVEN.
00:17:23.27\00:17:25.61
>>SEVEN APPEARS - YEAH,
SIX-SIX-SIX IS ONE OF THEM -
00:17:25.61\00:17:28.34
SEVEN APPEARS -
THAT'S LIKE GOD'S NUMBER.
00:17:28.34\00:17:32.11
YOU GO TO REVELATION AND
COUNT HOW MANY SEVENS ARE IN
00:17:32.11\00:17:34.22
REVELATION. YOU'VE
GOT, YOU KNOW, SEVEN
00:17:34.22\00:17:37.29
THUNDERS, A LAMB WITH SEVEN
EYES, YOU'VE GOT SEVEN CHURCHES,
00:17:37.29\00:17:40.06
SEVEN TRUMPETS, SEVEN - YEAH,
SOMEONE SAID SEVEN SINS - THAT'S
00:17:40.06\00:17:46.83
SEVEN SEALS - OH,
THAT'S WHAT IT WAS.
00:17:46.83\00:17:48.46
(LAUGHTER) THE SEVEN DEADLY
SINS - ANOTHER NUMBER - I HEARD
00:17:48.46\00:17:53.17
SOMEONE SAY TEN. >>FORTY.
00:17:53.17\00:17:55.00
>>TWELVE. >>FORTY -
TWELVE IS THE NUMBER
00:17:55.00\00:17:56.57
FOR THE CHURCH, FORTY IS
THE NUMBER FOR A GENERATION -
00:17:56.57\00:17:58.71
WHAT ARE - TEN?
BUT WHAT ABOUT FIVE?
00:17:58.71\00:18:02.74
DO YOU REMEMBER IN THE PARABLE
OF THE RICH MAN AND LAZARUS HE
00:18:02.74\00:18:06.95
SAID, 'I HAVE FIVE BROTHERS.
GO WARN THEM LEST THEY COME TO
00:18:06.95\00:18:09.62
THIS PLACE OF TORMENT.'
HOW MANY BOOKS OF THE TORAH?
00:18:09.62\00:18:13.72
THE PENTATEUCH - PENTAGON - FIVE
SIDES - FIVE BOOKS IN THE TORAH.
00:18:13.72\00:18:18.73
FIVE YOU'LL OFTEN FIND -
AND THE OTHER ONES ARE THREE.
00:18:18.73\00:18:23.06
HAVE YOU NOTICED HOW
MANY TIMES THREE APPEARS?
00:18:23.06\00:18:25.30
IF YOU'VE GOT A COMPUTER PROGRAM
WITH THE BIBLE SOFTWARE, IT'S
00:18:25.30\00:18:28.14
REALLY EASY TO SEARCH
THESE THINGS RIGHT NOW.
00:18:28.14\00:18:29.90
YOU'RE GOING TO FIND THAT
THE NUMBERS SEVEN, FIVE, TEN,
00:18:29.90\00:18:34.24
TWELVE, FORTY, THREE - APPEAR
MANY TIMES MORE, STATISTICALLY,
00:18:34.24\00:18:40.82
THAN THEY SHOULD APPEAR
IF THE BIBLE IS JUST A RANDOM
00:18:40.82\00:18:43.85
COLLECTION OF NUMBERS.
BUT IF NUMBERS HAVE A MEANING,
00:18:43.85\00:18:47.89
THEN IT MAKES YOU
THINK ABOUT SOMETHING.
00:18:47.89\00:18:50.76
HOW MANY OF THESE UNUSUAL
NUMBERS HERE ARE CONNECTED WITH
00:18:50.76\00:18:54.00
JOB? SEVEN SONS, THREE
DAUGHTERS, FIVE THOUSAND CAMELS,
00:18:54.00\00:18:58.97
FIVE THOUSAND DONKEYS - AM I
GETTING THE DONKEYS AND CAMELS
00:18:58.97\00:19:01.60
MIXED UP HERE? LET'S
SEE HERE - THAT'S RIGHT.
00:19:01.60\00:19:05.67
YEAH, SEVEN THOUSAND SHEEP,
THREE THOUSAND CAMELS, FIVE
00:19:05.67\00:19:11.05
HUNDRED YOKE OF OXEN, FIVE
HUNDRED DONKEYS - VERY - SO IT'S
00:19:11.05\00:19:14.95
A LOT OF BIBLICAL NUMBERS.
NOW, DOES THAT MEAN, BECAUSE
00:19:14.95\00:19:16.89
THESE NUMBERS ARE ALL UNIQUE,
THAT THE STORY IS AN ALLEGORY?
00:19:16.89\00:19:20.76
HOW MANY SONS DID
JACOB HAVE? >>TWELVE.
00:19:20.76\00:19:24.39
>>TWELVE. IS THAT A BIBLICAL
NUMBER? DID HE REALLY LIVE?
00:19:24.39\00:19:28.73
YEAH, SO THESE
PEOPLE REALLY LIVED.
00:19:28.73\00:19:31.40
THESE
EXPERIENCES REALLY HAPPENED.
00:19:31.40\00:19:32.93
BUT IT'S INTERESTING THAT THE
NUMBERS THAT ARE RECORDED OFTEN
00:19:32.93\00:19:35.97
MEAN THAT THERE'S A
DEEPER MEANING - IT DEPICTS THAT
00:19:35.97\00:19:38.81
THERE'S A DEEPER MEANING HERE.
00:19:38.81\00:19:40.34
OKAY, AND IT SAYS - IT GOES ON
TO SAY - "AND HIS SONS WOULD GO
00:19:40.34\00:19:43.68
OUT AND FEAST IN THEIR HOUSES,
EACH ON HIS APPOINTED DAY," -
00:19:43.68\00:19:46.51
NOW, WE DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S
A CYCLE, MEANING THEY'RE YEARLY
00:19:46.51\00:19:49.48
BIRTHDAY OR IF THEY JUST HAD
A ROTATION AND THEY SAID, 'LOOK,
00:19:49.48\00:19:53.19
ONCE A MONTH YOU COME AND YOU
EAT WITH US' AND THEY'D INVITE
00:19:53.19\00:19:55.19
THEIR SISTERS TO DRINK WITH THEM
- "SO IT WAS, WHEN THE DAYS OF
00:19:55.19\00:19:59.26
FEASTING HAD RUN THEIR
COURSE, THAT JOB WOULD SEND AND
00:19:59.26\00:20:02.46
SANCTIFY THEM," - HE'D CALL HIS
FAMILY TOGETHER AND HE'D OFFER
00:20:02.46\00:20:05.03
SACRIFICE "AND HE WOULD
RISE EARLY...AND OFFER BURNT
00:20:05.03\00:20:08.10
OFFERINGS ACCORDING TO
THE NUMBER OF THEM ALL.
00:20:08.10\00:20:10.54
FOR JOB SAID, 'IT MAY BE THAT
MY SONS'" - AND, OSTENSIBLY, HIS
00:20:10.54\00:20:14.18
DAUGHTERS - "'HAD SINNED
AND CURSED GOD IN THEIR HEARTS.'
00:20:14.18\00:20:18.25
THUS JOB DID REGULARLY."
SO HE'S A RIGHTEOUS MAN.
00:20:18.25\00:20:23.15
HE'S CONCERNED FOR HIS HOLINESS
AND THE HOLINESS OF HIS FAMILY
00:20:23.15\00:20:26.45
AND HE WANTS TO BE A
WITNESS IN HIS COMMUNITY.
00:20:26.45\00:20:29.16
AND HE'S AN UNUSUALLY GODLY
MAN. AND IT TELLS US THAT HE
00:20:29.16\00:20:34.56
LOVES GOD AND HE FEARS GOD.
NOW WHAT DOES FEARING GOD MEAN?
00:20:34.56\00:20:39.77
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOMEBODY
READ, IN A MOMENT, PROVERBS
00:20:39.77\00:20:42.27
14:27. ALBERT, YOU
HAVE THAT? GET YOU READY.
00:20:42.27\00:20:47.11
YOU KNOW, NOT ONLY DOES IT
SAY JOB FEARED GOD THERE IN THE
00:20:47.11\00:20:49.84
FIRST CHAPTER - YOU LOOK IN JOB
23:15 IT SAYS, "THEREFORE I AM
00:20:49.84\00:20:54.62
TERRIFIED AT HIS PRESENCE; WHEN
I CONSIDER THIS, I AM AFRAID OF
00:20:54.62\00:20:58.92
HIM." NOW GODLY FEAR IS NOT BAD.
00:20:58.92\00:21:04.49
IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU LIVE IN
TERROR, BUT THERE IS SOMETHING
00:21:04.49\00:21:07.03
HEALTHY ABOUT BEING
AFRAID TO OFFEND A HOLY GOD.
00:21:07.03\00:21:11.33
'IT'S A FEARFUL THING,' THE
BIBLE SAYS, 'TO FALL INTO THE
00:21:11.33\00:21:14.00
HANDS OF A HOLY GOD.'
MEANING 'IN JUDGMENT'.
00:21:14.00\00:21:16.77
ALRIGHT, GO AHEAD, READ
FOR US, PLEASE, PROVERBS 14:27.
00:21:16.77\00:21:20.88
>>"THE FEAR OF THE LORD IS
A FOUNTAIN OF LIFE, TO TURN
00:21:20.88\00:21:25.71
ONE AWAY FROM
THE SNARES OF DEATH."
00:21:25.71\00:21:29.22
>>CAN FEAR
SOMETIMES BE REDEMPTIVE?
00:21:29.22\00:21:33.89
IF A CHILD IS PLAYING ON A
SIDEWALK BY A BUSY STREET, WOULD
00:21:33.89\00:21:40.40
YOU WANT THEM TO HAVE A HEALTHY
FEAR OF MOTORIZED VEHICLES THAT
00:21:40.40\00:21:44.57
GO WHIZZING BY? YEAH,
THAT CAN KEEP THEM ALIVE.
00:21:44.57\00:21:48.44
THAT'S A GOOD THING
- IT'S NOT A BAD THING.
00:21:48.44\00:21:50.77
I DON'T WALK AROUND SCARED
OF SNAKES, BUT I HAVE A HEALTHY
00:21:50.77\00:21:54.88
RESPECT FOR VENOMOUS SNAKES -
I'M NOT GOING TO REACH OUT AND
00:21:54.88\00:21:58.51
GRAB THEM ON A WARM DAY. SO, YOU
KNOW, CERTAIN KINDS OF FEAR ARE
00:21:58.51\00:22:03.89
ACTUALLY VERY HELPFUL. KAREN
AND I LOST A COUPLE OF DOGS.
00:22:03.89\00:22:10.29
WE HAD FOUR DOGS - WE'RE DOWN
TO TWO - AND THEY - IT HAPPENED
00:22:10.29\00:22:14.36
WHEN - WHAT WE CALL RATTLESNAKE
SEASON - WE DO KNOW THE ONE DOG
00:22:14.36\00:22:17.93
DID GET BIT BY A SNAKE, THE
OTHER ONE JUST DISAPPEARED, BUT
00:22:17.93\00:22:22.17
WHEN OUR CARETAKER SAW THE DOG,
HE WAS PROVOKING A SNAKE THAT HE
00:22:22.17\00:22:25.07
HAD TRAPPED AGAINST THE GARAGE
DOOR AND SO, WE WISH THEY HAD
00:22:25.07\00:22:30.65
BEEN MORE AFRAID,
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?
00:22:30.65\00:22:36.02
IT'S - IT'S A GOOD THING TO BE
AFRAID OF SIN - OF THE SERPENT
00:22:36.02\00:22:43.73
IN THAT SENSE. NOW,
WHEN THE LORD'S WITH YOU,
00:22:43.73\00:22:46.06
IT DOESN'T MEAN
YOU LIVE IN FEAR.
00:22:46.06\00:22:48.06
YOU CAN READ IN ECCLESIASTES
12, VERSE 13, "LET US HEAR THE
00:22:48.06\00:22:52.63
CONCLUSION OF THE WHOLE
MATTER: FEAR GOD AND KEEP HIS
00:22:52.63\00:22:55.77
COMMANDMENTS, FOR THIS
IS THE WHOLE DUTY OF MAN."
00:22:55.77\00:22:58.44
- HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW THE THREE
ANGELS' MESSAGES - REVELATION
00:22:58.44\00:23:00.94
14? WHAT IS THE FIRST
00:23:00.94\00:23:03.01
ANGEL'S MESSAGE? >>FEAR GOD.
00:23:03.01\00:23:05.35
>>"FEAR GOD AND GIVE GLORY TO
HIM FOR THE HOUR OF HIS JUDGMENT
00:23:05.35\00:23:08.58
IS COME." AND IT
MEANS TO, FOR ONE THING,
00:23:08.58\00:23:11.92
REVERENCE GOD -
TO BE IN AWE OF GOD.
00:23:11.92\00:23:14.32
YOU CAN LOVE GOD
AND STILL BE AFRAID.
00:23:14.32\00:23:18.46
AND IT'S KIND OF LIKE THE LOVE
THAT A YOUNG CHILD MIGHT HAVE
00:23:18.46\00:23:21.70
FOR THEIR FATHER, WHERE YOU'RE
AWED BY THEIR STRENGTH, YOU
00:23:21.70\00:23:25.03
DON'T WANT TO DISOBEY THEM, BUT
AT THE SAME TIME, YOU LOVE THEM
00:23:25.03\00:23:28.64
AND YOU CAN
CLIMB UP IN THEIR LAP.
00:23:28.64\00:23:30.77
AND SO, JOB REALIZED GOD IS AN
AWESOME GOD AND HE HATED EVIL.
00:23:30.77\00:23:36.21
AND YOU CAN READ THERE WHERE HE
NOT ONLY INTERCEDED FOR HIS SONS
00:23:36.21\00:23:40.55
- READ IN MATTHEW 6:13 - IT
TELLS YOU RIGHT HERE, EARLIER IN
00:23:40.55\00:23:44.52
THE BOOK OF JOB, IT
USES THE WORD 'EVIL'.
00:23:44.52\00:23:47.56
IT TALKS ABOUT GOD - YOU
KNOW WHERE WE GET THE WORD GOD?
00:23:47.56\00:23:50.96
IT'S A DERIVATIVE, IN ENGLISH
ANYWAY, OF THE WORD 'GOOD'.
00:23:50.96\00:23:54.56
AND, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU USED TO
TELL A PERSON, 'GOOD DAY', YOU
00:23:54.56\00:23:58.07
WERE REALLY SAYING 'GOD
DAY'. HAVE A DAY IN GOD.
00:23:58.07\00:24:01.67
AND SO, WHEN THE BOOK OF JOB IS
TELLING US ABOUT GOD AND EVIL,
00:24:01.67\00:24:07.11
IT'S REALLY TALKING
ABOUT GOOD AND EVIL.
00:24:07.11\00:24:08.71
DOESN'T JESUS SAY, 'ONLY GOD IS
GOOD'? SOMEONE CAME TO JESUS AND
00:24:08.71\00:24:13.72
SAID, 'GOOD MASTER.' HE SAID,
'NONE IS GOOD BUT ONE AND THAT
00:24:13.72\00:24:15.92
IS GOD.' AND SO, RIGHT IN THE
BEGINNING OF JOB YOU SEE THERE'S
00:24:15.92\00:24:21.32
A CONTRAST BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL
AND HE'S INTERCEDING FOR HIS
00:24:21.32\00:24:25.39
SONS, LEST THEY
SIN IN THEIR HEARTS.
00:24:25.39\00:24:28.36
AND SO, HE WAS AFRAID OF
THE EVIL THAT MIGHT HAPPEN.
00:24:28.36\00:24:33.17
ISAIAH 33:15, "HE WHO
WALKS RIGHTEOUSLY AND SPEAKS
00:24:33.17\00:24:38.41
UPRIGHTLY, HE WHO DESPISES
THE GAIN OF OPPRESSIONS, WHO
00:24:38.41\00:24:42.08
GESTURES WITH HIS HANDS,
REFUSING BRIBES, WHO STOPS HIS
00:24:42.08\00:24:45.81
EARS FROM HEARING OF BLOODSHED,"
- SOMEONE WHO HATES EVIL - "AND
00:24:45.81\00:24:50.32
SHUTS HIS EYES FROM SEEING EVIL:
HE WILL DWELL ON HIGH; HIS PLACE
00:24:50.32\00:24:55.32
OF DEFENSE WILL BE THE FORTRESS
OF ROCKS; BREAD WILL BE GIVEN
00:24:55.32\00:24:58.66
HIM, HIS WATER WILL BE
SURE." TALKS ABOUT A PERSON WHO
00:24:58.66\00:25:02.03
GESTURES WITH HIS HANDS,
REFUSING BRIBES - IT'S LIKE
00:25:02.03\00:25:04.87
YOU'RE OFFERING HIM A
BRIBE AND HE SAYS, 'NO!
00:25:04.87\00:25:07.30
DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.' AND
HE CLOSES HIS EYES FROM SEEING
00:25:07.30\00:25:11.04
EVIL. THIS IS
DESCRIBING A PERSON THAT
00:25:11.04\00:25:14.04
LOVES GOD, BUT THEY
ESCHEW - OR THEY DESPISE - EVIL.
00:25:14.04\00:25:17.08
PSALMS 119:37, "TURN AWAY MY
EYES FROM LOOKING AT WORTHLESS
00:25:17.08\00:25:21.72
THINGS, AND
REVIVE ME IN YOUR WAY."
00:25:21.72\00:25:25.05
WOULD WE ALL AGREE THAT,
ESPECIALLY IN OUR DAY AND AGE,
00:25:25.05\00:25:28.09
WITH THE MULTIPLE SCREENS THAT
ARE AVAILABLE - YOU KNOW, WE'RE
00:25:28.09\00:25:31.96
SURROUNDED BY
SCREENS. IF YOU'VE GOT A SMART
00:25:31.96\00:25:34.56
PHONE YOU'VE GOT A SCREEN.
IT'LL USUALLY GIVE YOU AUDIO
00:25:34.56\00:25:37.17
AND VISUAL INFORMATION.
IT'S LIKE A MINI TV SCREEN.
00:25:37.17\00:25:40.67
AND YOU PROBABLY, MANY OF YOU,
HAVE A TELEVISION IN YOUR HOME.
00:25:40.67\00:25:45.91
WE'RE RECORDING THIS FOR
BROADCAST - TELEVISION IN AND OF
00:25:45.91\00:25:48.78
ITSELF IS NOT AN EVIL THING
ANYMORE THAN A BOOK IS EVIL.
00:25:48.78\00:25:52.55
YOU CAN HAVE A BOOK
THAT COMMUNICATES GOOD;
00:25:52.55\00:25:54.25
YOU CAN HAVE A BOOK
THAT COMMUNICATES EVIL.
00:25:54.25\00:25:56.12
A TELEVISION USES VISUAL
AND AUDIO TO COMMUNICATE.
00:25:56.12\00:25:59.52
YOU CAN USE PRINT TO - YOU CAN
READ OFF A TELEVISION - SO IT
00:25:59.52\00:26:02.92
COULD BE GOOD OR IT COULD BE
EVIL. BUT LET'S FACE IT, THERE'S
00:26:02.92\00:26:06.66
A LOT OF BOOKS OUT THERE THAT
SHOULDN'T BE READ AND THERE'S A
00:26:06.66\00:26:08.73
LOT OF TELEVISION
PROGRAMS THAT SHOULDN'T BE SEEN.
00:26:08.73\00:26:11.17
A LOT OF YOU HAVE COMPUTER
SCREENS AND, I THINK I TOLD YOU,
00:26:11.17\00:26:17.64
I WAS SURPRISED - IT WASN'T TOO
LONG AGO I WAS AT A GAS STATION.
00:26:17.64\00:26:21.84
IT WAS LATE AT NIGHT AND -
BY MYSELF - ALL OF A SUDDEN I
00:26:21.84\00:26:24.25
STARTED PUMPING GAS AND I WAS
HEARING VOICES AND I LOOKED AND
00:26:24.25\00:26:26.35
THERE WAS A SCREEN ON THE - ON
THE GAS PUMP. IT WAS PLAYING A
00:26:26.35\00:26:30.29
COMMERCIAL AND THEN IT WOULD
PLAY THE NEWS - A LITTLE BIT OF
00:26:30.29\00:26:34.02
NEWS AND THEN ANOTHER COMMERCIAL
BECAUSE THEY HAD TO DO IT REAL
00:26:34.02\00:26:36.22
QUICK - THEY TIMED IT FOR HOW
LONG IT WOULD TAKE YOU TO PUMP
00:26:36.22\00:26:38.16
GAS. THEY'VE GOT SCREENS
EVERYWHERE NOW, YOU WATCH,
00:26:38.16\00:26:43.47
YOU'RE GOING TO GO TO A PUBLIC
RESTROOM SOON - YOU CLOSE THE
00:26:43.47\00:26:45.47
DOOR AND THERE'LL BE A
MONITOR. YOU MARK MY WORDS.
00:26:45.47\00:26:50.74
ANYWHERE THAT THEY'VE GOT YOUR
ATTENTION, THEY'RE GOING TO TRY
00:26:50.74\00:26:52.97
AND GIVE YOU A
MESSAGE - ADVERTISING.
00:26:52.97\00:26:57.45
SO WE'RE SURROUNDED
BY ALL THESE SCREENS.
00:26:57.45\00:26:59.01
AS A CHRISTIAN, SINCE A LOT
OF IT IS FOOLISHNESS, WE NEED TO
00:26:59.01\00:27:02.35
PRAY AND MAKE A COVENANT WITH
OUR EYES AND CLOSE OUR EYES TO
00:27:02.35\00:27:05.55
SEEING EVIL. AND
YOU'VE GOT TO CONSCIOUSLY
00:27:05.55\00:27:07.86
BE PROTECTING WHAT YOU THINK AND
WHAT YOU SEE, BECAUSE THE BIBLE
00:27:07.86\00:27:12.23
SAYS THE PURE IN
HEART WILL SEE GOD.
00:27:12.23\00:27:15.03
JOB LONGED FOR
THAT PURITY OF HEART.
00:27:15.03\00:27:16.63
HE HATED EVIL.
ALRIGHT, LET'S MOVE RIGHT ALONG.
00:27:16.63\00:27:20.10
COSMIC CONFLICT - WE'RE IN
THE SECOND PAGE NOW - YOU READ
00:27:20.10\00:27:24.47
VERSES 6 THROUGH 12 OF JOB -
AND I'LL DO THAT WITH YOU - JOB
00:27:24.47\00:27:28.81
CHAPTER 1, VERSES 6 THROUGH 12,
"NOW THERE WAS A DAY WHEN THE
00:27:28.81\00:27:33.01
SONS OF GOD CAME TO PRESENT
THEMSELVES BEFORE THE LORD, AND
00:27:33.01\00:27:36.55
SATAN ALSO CAME AMONG THEM.
AND THE LORD SAID TO SATAN,
00:27:36.55\00:27:39.85
'FROM WHERE DO YOU COME?'
SO SATAN ANSWERED THE LORD AND
00:27:39.85\00:27:43.09
SAID, 'FROM GOING TO AND FRO ON
THE EARTH, AND FROM WALKING BACK
00:27:43.09\00:27:47.40
AND FORTH ON IT.'" -
ALRIGHT, RIGHT AWAY, LET'S STOP.
00:27:47.40\00:27:49.56
WHERE DOES THIS
MEETING TAKE PLACE?
00:27:49.56\00:27:54.27
NOT ON EARTH. IS THAT RIGHT?
00:27:54.27\00:27:57.41
IN ORDER FOR JOB - IT'S
CLEARLY UNDERSTOOD - IN ORDER
00:27:57.41\00:27:59.84
FOR JOB TO SAY TO THE
LORD 'I HAVE COME FROM EARTH' -
00:27:59.84\00:28:02.91
>>SATAN. >>I'M SORRY.
00:28:02.91\00:28:04.11
THANK YOU VERY MUCH - IN ORDER
FOR SATAN TO SAY, 'I'VE COME
00:28:04.11\00:28:06.95
FROM EARTH', HE
CAN'T BE ON EARTH, RIGHT?
00:28:06.95\00:28:10.89
AND THE LORD HAS GATHERED,
SOMEWHERE IN THE COSMOS - WE
00:28:10.89\00:28:14.99
DON'T KNOW THAT IT WAS
SPECIFICALLY HEAVEN - IT SAYS
00:28:14.99\00:28:17.43
THE SONS OF GOD CAME TO PRESENT
THEMSELVES BEFORE THE LORD - IT
00:28:17.43\00:28:20.10
COULD HAVE BEEN - THIS COULD
HAVE BEEN A MEETING BEFORE SATAN
00:28:20.10\00:28:23.53
WAS COMPLETELY CAST OUT OF
HEAVEN, BECAUSE YOU FIND THOSE
00:28:23.53\00:28:27.07
WORDS IN REVELATION 12 AND THEN
JESUS SAID, 'I SAW SATAN CAST
00:28:27.07\00:28:30.21
OUT' AND - BUT IT COULD HAVE
BEEN - GOD CAN MEET WHEREVER HE
00:28:30.21\00:28:34.28
WANTS. WHO KNOWS WHERE
THIS CONVENTION WAS? HE SAID,
00:28:34.28\00:28:38.98
'WHERE'D YOU COME FROM?'
'I HAVE COME FROM GOING TO AND
00:28:38.98\00:28:41.25
FRO ON THE EARTH AND WALKING
BACK AND FORTH.' WHY DOES THE
00:28:41.25\00:28:44.42
DEVIL SAY 'TO AND
FRO/BACK AND FORTH'?
00:28:44.42\00:28:49.32
HE IS ACTUALLY BRAGGING TO THE
LORD THAT 'THE EARTH IS MINE.
00:28:49.32\00:28:54.60
I FREELY ROAM IT.
IT'S MY TERRITORY.
00:28:54.60\00:28:56.93
I GO TO AND FRO AND BACK AND
FORTH BECAUSE THE DOMINION YOU
00:28:56.93\00:29:00.34
GAVE TO ADAM, ADAM GAVE TO
ME WHEN HE DECIDED TO SERVE ME
00:29:00.34\00:29:05.07
INSTEAD OF YOU.' AND SO THE
DEVIL CLAIMS THIS WORLD IS HIS.
00:29:05.07\00:29:08.91
DOES JESUS ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT?
00:29:08.91\00:29:12.31
DOESN'T JESUS CALL THE
DEVIL THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD?
00:29:12.31\00:29:16.42
AND SO SATAN HAS
HIJACKED THE WORLD.
00:29:16.42\00:29:18.42
JESUS CAME TO
REDEEM IT - TO BUY IT BACK.
00:29:18.42\00:29:21.76
AND SO HE'S BASICALLY SAYING,
'I'VE COME FROM MY PLANET.' AND
00:29:21.76\00:29:25.69
THE LORD SAID TO SATAN, 'YOU
THINK' - I'M PARAPHRASING HERE -
00:29:25.69\00:29:29.33
HE SAYS, 'YOU THINK IT'S YOUR
PLANET, BUT NOT EVERYBODY THERE
00:29:29.33\00:29:31.13
SERVES YOU. HAVE YOU
CONSIDERED MY SERVANT JOB?
00:29:31.13\00:29:35.40
HE'S NOT YOUR
SERVANT, HE'S MY SERVANT.
00:29:35.40\00:29:37.04
"THAT THERE'S NONE LIKE HIM
ON THE EARTH, A BLAMELESS AND
00:29:37.04\00:29:40.11
UPRIGHT MAN, ONE WHO
FEARS GOD AND SHUNS EVIL?"
00:29:40.11\00:29:43.55
- REPEATING THE EARLIER WORDS.
NOW, PROBABLY FOR ME, ONE OF THE
00:29:43.55\00:29:48.05
MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IN THE
BOOK OF JOB IS WHAT I JUST READ.
00:29:48.05\00:29:51.69
THIS MAY NOT BE FOR
YOU, BUT IT IS FOR ME.
00:29:51.69\00:29:54.26
THAT GOD IN HEAVEN WOULD BEAR
TESTIMONY OF SOMEBODY ON EARTH -
00:29:54.26\00:29:59.86
THAT GOD WOULD CONFESS THE NAME
OF SOMEONE ON EARTH AND BRAG TO
00:29:59.86\00:30:03.20
OTHER UNFALLEN BEINGS ABOUT
SOMEONE ON EARTH, IS REALLY
00:30:03.20\00:30:09.14
REMARKABLE.
WOULDN'T YOU WANT TO BE THAT
00:30:09.14\00:30:11.94
PERSON THAT GOD
WOULD TELL ANGELS ABOUT?
00:30:11.94\00:30:15.78
THAT GOD WOULD
SPEAK YOUR NAME IN HEAVEN?
00:30:15.78\00:30:19.01
JUST THINK ABOUT THAT.
THAT YOU ARE LIVING SO CLOSE TO
00:30:19.01\00:30:21.88
GOD THAT GOD IS
ANNOUNCING YOUR NAME.
00:30:21.88\00:30:25.29
THINK ABOUT GOD SAYING ANYTHING,
BUT THAT HE WOULD SAY YOUR NAME
00:30:25.29\00:30:29.16
AND HE WOULD REFER
TO YOU AS HIS SERVANT.
00:30:29.16\00:30:31.99
I THINK, IF YOU DON'T GET
ANYTHING OUT OF THIS QUARTER'S
00:30:31.99\00:30:34.13
STUDY, IF YOU CAN BE INSPIRED
BY THE IDEA THAT 'I AM LIVING IN
00:30:34.13\00:30:38.20
THE SIGHT OF A HOLY GOD
AND I WANT TO PLEASE HIM.
00:30:38.20\00:30:40.60
I DON'T WANT TO DO
ANYTHING THAT WOULD SHAME HIM.
00:30:40.60\00:30:43.34
I WANT TO GIVE GOD EVERY REASON
TO BE ABLE TO MENTION MY NAME IN
00:30:43.34\00:30:46.81
HEAVEN.' YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE
TALKS ABOUT THAT AND JESUS SAID
00:30:46.81\00:30:51.05
- AND I MAY BE JUMPING AHEAD
OF HIMSELF - MYSELF - LUKE 12,
00:30:51.05\00:30:55.42
VERSE 8, HE SAID, "ALSO I SAY TO
YOU, WHOEVER CONFESSES ME BEFORE
00:30:55.42\00:31:00.29
MEN, HIM THE SON OF MAN ALSO
WILL CONFESS BEFORE THE ANGELS
00:31:00.29\00:31:05.03
OF GOD. BUT HE WHO
DENIES ME BEFORE MEN
00:31:05.03\00:31:08.53
WILL BE DENIED
BEFORE THE ANGELS OF GOD."
00:31:08.53\00:31:11.50
I THINK IN ANOTHER VERSION
OF THE GOSPEL IT SAYS, ACTUALLY,
00:31:11.50\00:31:14.80
HE'LL CONFESS HIS NAME -
OUR NAME BEFORE THE FATHER.
00:31:14.80\00:31:18.47
AND IT JUST - THAT, TO
ME, IS AN INSPIRING THOUGHT.
00:31:18.47\00:31:23.14
ALRIGHT, SOMEONE'S GOING TO
READ FOR ME ROMANS CHAPTER 8:14.
00:31:23.14\00:31:27.28
WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT
'WHO ARE THESE SONS OF GOD?'
00:31:27.28\00:31:29.52
WE'LL GET YOU SET UP.
I'M GOING TO READ JOB 38:7 -
00:31:29.52\00:31:34.42
A LOT OF DISCUSSION
ABOUT THE SONS OF GOD.
00:31:34.42\00:31:36.32
YOU FIND 'SONS OF GOD' MENTIONED
THERE IN GENESIS CHAPTER 6.
00:31:36.32\00:31:39.56
IF YOU READ JOB 38:7, "WHEN THE
MORNING STARS SANG TOGETHER, AND
00:31:39.56\00:31:43.73
ALL THE SONS OF GOD SHOUTED FOR
JOY" - WHO ARE THESE 'SONS OF
00:31:43.73\00:31:47.04
GOD' THAT SHOUT FOR JOY
IN HEAVEN? WHEN THE WORLD WAS
00:31:47.04\00:31:51.41
CREATED? PROBABLY
ANGELS. THEY'RE NOT PEOPLE.
00:31:51.41\00:31:55.68
IT'S TALKING ABOUT WHEN GOD LAID
THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD AND
00:31:55.68\00:31:57.88
ALL THE SONS OF GOD - SO
THESE ARE, MAYBE, THE LEADERS OF
00:31:57.88\00:32:02.65
UNFALLEN
WORLDS. NOW GO AHEAD AND
00:32:02.65\00:32:05.32
READ ROMANS 8:14. >>"FOR
AS MANY AS ARE LED BY THE
00:32:05.32\00:32:09.32
SPIRIT OF GOD,
THESE ARE SONS OF GOD."
00:32:09.32\00:32:12.76
>>NOW THE SONS OF GOD IS A
TERM THAT IS USED TWO OR THREE
00:32:12.76\00:32:16.67
DIFFERENT WAYS IN THE BIBLE, AND
SO, IT'S CAUSED SOME CONFUSION.
00:32:16.67\00:32:19.37
IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE
UNDERSTAND THIS, BECAUSE WHEN
00:32:19.37\00:32:22.34
YOU READ, IN GENESIS CHAPTER 6,
IT SAID THAT WHEN THE MEN BEGAN
00:32:22.34\00:32:28.34
TO MULTIPLY ON THE EARTH,
THAT 'THE SONS OF GOD SAW THE
00:32:28.34\00:32:34.02
DAUGHTERS OF MEN, THAT THEY WERE
FAIR, AND TOOK THEM WIVES OF ALL
00:32:34.02\00:32:37.95
WHOM THEY CHOSE.' AND THEN
IT LATER SAYS THAT THEY HAD
00:32:37.95\00:32:41.76
CHILDREN THAT WERE GIANTS -
NEPHILIM - AND YOU'RE GOING,
00:32:41.76\00:32:47.00
'WHAT IS THIS?' AND SOME OF
YOU, YOU MAY EVEN HAVE A BIBLE
00:32:47.00\00:32:49.93
TRANSLATION THAT IF YOU LOOK
THERE IN GENESIS CHAPTER 6 IT'LL
00:32:49.93\00:32:54.34
SAY, 'AND WHEN THESE FALLEN
ANGELS SAW THE DAUGHTERS OF MEN,
00:32:54.34\00:33:00.41
THAT THEY WERE FAIR' - THAT'S
NOT AT ALL WHAT IT'S TALKING
00:33:00.41\00:33:03.28
ABOUT. SO UNDERSTANDING
THE SONS OF GOD IS IMPORTANT.
00:33:03.28\00:33:07.32
IN GENESIS 6 - OH, LET ME GIVE
YOU ONE MORE VERSE - IN 1 JOHN
00:33:07.32\00:33:12.89
CHAPTER 3, "BEHOLD WHAT MANNER
OF LOVE THE FATHER HAS BESTOWED
00:33:12.89\00:33:16.09
ON US, THAT WE SHOULD
BE CALLED SONS OF GOD!"
00:33:16.09\00:33:18.73
THAT, OF COURSE, MEANS SONS
AND DAUGHTERS - CHILDREN OF GOD.
00:33:18.73\00:33:22.66
'BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS,
THEY WILL BE - THE CHILDREN - IT
00:33:22.66\00:33:27.30
SAYS 'SONS OF GOD'
THEY'RE THE CHILDREN OF GOD.
00:33:27.30\00:33:29.90
SO RIGHT AWAY WE KNOW THAT WHEN
YOU ACCEPT CHRIST, YOU BECOME
00:33:29.90\00:33:34.61
CHILDREN OF
GOD. YOU ARE SONS AND
00:33:34.61\00:33:36.34
DAUGHTERS OF GOD, OKAY?
BUT THERE'S ANOTHER GROUP.
00:33:36.34\00:33:41.52
WHEN IT SAYS, IN LUKE, AND
IT GOES - 3 - CHAPTER 3 - AND IT
00:33:41.52\00:33:46.72
GOES THROUGH THE GENEALOGY
OF JESUS AND IT TALKS ABOUT ENOS
00:33:46.72\00:33:50.69
WHO WAS THE SON OF LAMECH - OR
WHO WAS THE SON OF SETH, WHO WAS
00:33:50.69\00:33:55.66
THE SON OF ADAM,
WHO WAS THE SON OF GOD.
00:33:55.66\00:33:59.30
NOW, HOW WAS ADAM
DIFFERENT FROM OTHER PEOPLE?
00:33:59.30\00:34:02.50
WELL, PROBABLY SEVERAL WAYS,
BUT ONE PRINCIPLE WAY ADAM IS
00:34:02.50\00:34:06.37
DIFFERENT IS YOU WERE ALL
BORN. ANYONE HERE NOT BORN?
00:34:06.37\00:34:10.88
YOU'RE ALL BORN - IT MIGHT HAVE
BEEN IN A TEST TUBE, BUT YOU'RE
00:34:10.88\00:34:14.45
STILL BORN, WHEREAS ADAM
WAS CREATED. WE ARE BORN BABIES;
00:34:14.45\00:34:20.89
ADAM WAS CREATED FULL GROWN.
ADAM WAS CALLED THE SON OF GOD.
00:34:20.89\00:34:24.89
WE ARE SONS OF ADAM AND
EVE - IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT.
00:34:24.89\00:34:28.33
AND SOME, KNOWING THAT, THEY
SAY, 'POSSIBLY THAT MEANS THEN
00:34:28.33\00:34:32.60
THAT WHEN IT TALKS ABOUT THESE
SONS OF GOD, THESE ARE, LIKE
00:34:32.60\00:34:35.77
ADAM, OTHER LEADERS OF
OTHER WORLDS - UNFALLEN WORLDS -
00:34:35.77\00:34:40.51
BECAUSE THIS IS
THE ONLY FALLEN WORLD.
00:34:40.51\00:34:42.88
AND THEN THERE ARE A FEW TIMES
WHERE IT TALKS ABOUT SONS OF GOD
00:34:42.88\00:34:46.11
AND IT'S TALKING JUST ABOUT HOLY
ONES - THE OTHER CHILDREN OF GOD
00:34:46.11\00:34:48.92
- IT MEANS ANGELS. BUT
MOST OF THE TIME, WHEN IT
00:34:48.92\00:34:52.39
SAYS SONS OF GOD, IT'S
TALKING ABOUT REDEEMED PEOPLE.
00:34:52.39\00:34:54.89
SO, WHAT DOES IT MEAN IN GENESIS
6 - THE SONS OF GOD SAW THE
00:34:54.89\00:34:57.66
DAUGHTERS OF MEN AND TOOK WIVES?
00:34:57.66\00:35:00.06
UP UNTIL GENESIS 6, AFTER CAIN
SINNED AND HE LEFT - HE TOOK HIS
00:35:00.06\00:35:03.87
WIFE - ONE OF HIS SISTERS - AND
HE LEFT AND HE STARTED A WHOLE
00:35:03.87\00:35:06.30
RACE, BUILT A CITY, NAMED
IT AFTER HIS SON, THEY GREW AND
00:35:06.30\00:35:10.81
MULTIPLIED, YOU KNOW, A THOUSAND
YEARS WENT BY - MORE THAN THAT -
00:35:10.81\00:35:14.01
BEFORE THE FLOOD - 1500 YEARS
WENT BY - AND THERE WERE, YOU
00:35:14.01\00:35:17.55
KNOW, THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE.
YOU DO THE MATH AND, IF YOU'RE
00:35:17.55\00:35:21.28
HEALTHY, AND GOD TELLS YOU TO BE
FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY, AND YOUR
00:35:21.28\00:35:27.16
REPRODUCTIVE APPARATUS IS ALL
IN ITS PRIME EFFICIENCY AND YOU
00:35:27.16\00:35:34.23
LIVE HUNDREDS OF YEARS, HOW
MANY CHILDREN COULD YOU HAVE?
00:35:34.23\00:35:39.97
I JUST READ - I WAS VISITING
WITH A FRIEND WHO IS AMISH THAT
00:35:39.97\00:35:45.14
ACCEPTED THE
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST TEACHING.
00:35:45.14\00:35:48.18
WE'LL PUT OUT A
TESTIMONY ABOUT IT.
00:35:48.18\00:35:50.05
AND HE'S NOW - HE AND HIS WIFE
ARE DOING MINISTRY AMONG THE
00:35:50.05\00:35:53.08
AMISH PEOPLE. AND,
YOU KNOW, THE AMISH ARE
00:35:53.08\00:35:55.12
ONE OF THE FASTEST-GROWING
POPULATIONS IN NORTH AMERICA.
00:35:55.12\00:35:58.79
THEY HAVE GONE FROM 1984, WHERE
THERE WERE ABOUT 80,000 OF THEM,
00:35:58.79\00:36:04.46
TO RIGHT NOW,
THERE'S ABOUT 300,000.
00:36:04.46\00:36:06.93
THAT'S QUITE A GROWTH.
WELL, YOU KNOW, THEY BELIEVE IN
00:36:06.93\00:36:10.80
VERY BIG FAMILIES - MATTER
OF FACT, THIS ONE, HE'S STILL A
00:36:10.80\00:36:13.54
YOUNG MAN, HE'S GOT SEVEN
KIDS ALREADY, LIKE JOB - SEVEN
00:36:13.54\00:36:17.04
SONS - JOB HAD TEN, SEE?
SO THEY HAD BIG FAMILIES.
00:36:17.04\00:36:19.94
ONE OF THE REASONS ISLAM
IS GROWING SO QUICKLY IS NOT
00:36:19.94\00:36:23.71
THROUGH PUBLIC EVANGELISM,
IT'S THROUGH BIOLOGICAL GROWTH.
00:36:23.71\00:36:28.18
THEY HAVE VERY BIG FAMILIES.
AND, I DON'T WANT TO BELABOR
00:36:28.18\00:36:32.05
THIS POINT, BUT DO YOU KNOW WHY
ISRAEL IS CONSTANTLY BUILDING
00:36:32.05\00:36:37.73
SETTLEMENTS AND INVITING
OVERSEAS JEWS TO MOVE TO ISRAEL?
00:36:37.73\00:36:42.43
BECAUSE THEY'RE TRYING TO KEEP
ENOUGH JEWISH VOTERS TO OFFSET
00:36:42.43\00:36:46.40
THE INCREDIBLE GROWTH OF THE
MUSLIM FAMILIES IN ISRAEL THAT
00:36:46.40\00:36:50.97
ARE PROLIFERATING. NOW,
YOU MAY HAVE NEVER HEARD IT
00:36:50.97\00:36:53.74
PUT TO YOU THAT
WAY, BUT THINK ABOUT IT.
00:36:53.74\00:36:56.38
THEY'RE TRYING TO KEEP
THE NUMBERS UP TO COMPETE.
00:36:56.38\00:36:59.35
YEAH. NOW, WHERE'D I GET THAT?
BACK TO THE - SO, YOU HAD ALL
00:36:59.35\00:37:06.82
THE CHILDREN OF GOD - THESE
WERE THE DESCENDENTS OF SETH -
00:37:06.82\00:37:10.63
REMEMBER CAIN
KILLED ABEL SO ABEL DIED.
00:37:10.63\00:37:12.76
ADAM AND EVE HAD ANOTHER GODLY
SON THEY TREATED LIKE THEIR
00:37:12.76\00:37:15.70
FIRSTBORN BECAUSE
CAIN LEFT - THAT WAS SETH.
00:37:15.70\00:37:18.17
SETH SERVED THE LORD, HIS
DESCENDENTS SERVED THE LORD,
00:37:18.17\00:37:22.17
ADAM AND EVE HAD OTHER SONS
AND DAUGHTERS - THEY WERE ALL
00:37:22.17\00:37:24.41
FAITHFUL. THEY GREW
AND THEY TRUSTED GOD
00:37:24.41\00:37:27.18
AND THEY SACRIFICED TO GOD
AND THEY REMAINED SEPARATE FROM
00:37:27.18\00:37:29.94
CAIN, WHO HAD SORT OF REJECTED
GOD - AND HIS DESCENDANTS - THEY
00:37:29.94\00:37:33.18
WERE CALLED THE CHILDREN OF MEN.
I THINK IT'S ENOS AND IT MEANS
00:37:33.18\00:37:35.92
'MORTAL' - THEY'RE
DYING - THEY'RE LOST.
00:37:35.92\00:37:38.92
WHEN THE SONS OF GOD, THAT
HAD THE INHERITANCE OF GOD, SAID
00:37:38.92\00:37:42.72
'THE DAUGHTERS OF CAIN ARE
REALLY PRETTY' - THE DAUGHTERS
00:37:42.72\00:37:44.69
OF MEN - THEY BEGAN TO
INTERMARRY - THAT WAS UNEQUALLY
00:37:44.69\00:37:48.46
YOKED - YOU'LL NOTICE THE NEXT
THING IT SAYS IN GENESIS WAS
00:37:48.46\00:37:52.63
'EVIL BEGAN TO MULTIPLY AND THE
THOUGHTS OF MEN'S HEARTS WERE
00:37:52.63\00:37:55.84
ONLY EVIL AND VIOLENCE FILLED
THE LAND' THEY LOST THEIR HOLY
00:37:55.84\00:37:58.64
DISTINCTION. AND YOU
MIGHT SAY, 'WELL, WHY
00:37:58.64\00:38:01.54
WERE THE CHILDREN
GIANTS? THAT'S JUST CALLED
00:38:01.54\00:38:03.14
GENETIC VITALITY.
WHENEVER YOU HAVE PEOPLE MIXING
00:38:03.14\00:38:07.62
THEIR GENES, YOU'LL OFTEN HAVE
MORE VITALITY AND HEALTH THERE.
00:38:07.62\00:38:11.05
ANYWAY, SO THESE SONS OF
GOD, THOUGH, IN JOB ARE MORE
00:38:11.05\00:38:14.26
LIKELY THE LEADERS OF UNFALLEN
WORLDS THAT HAVE COME TOGETHER.
00:38:14.26\00:38:19.59
LOOK, FOR INSTANCE, IN
REVELATION 4:4, "AND ROUND ABOUT
00:38:19.59\00:38:23.80
THE THRONE WERE FOUR AND TWENTY
SEATS: AND UPON THE SEATS I SAW
00:38:23.80\00:38:27.24
FOUR AND TWENTY ELDERS SITTING,
CLOTHED IN WHITE RAIMENT; AND
00:38:27.24\00:38:31.01
THEY HAD ON THEIR
HEADS CROWNS OF GOLD."
00:38:31.01\00:38:33.14
THESE MAY BE SOME
OF THOSE SONS OF GOD.
00:38:33.14\00:38:35.51
ALRIGHT, SO WE'VE SEEN A LITTLE
BIT OF THIS CONFLICT IN HEAVEN.
00:38:35.51\00:38:38.08
THE DEVIL IS CHALLENGING
GOD ABOUT JOB AND GOD IS SAYING,
00:38:38.08\00:38:44.35
'JOB IS - HE'S NOT YOUR
SERVANT.' NOW YOU READ ABOUT
00:38:44.35\00:38:48.29
CONFLICT ON EARTH. SO
THERE - WE KNOW THERE'S A
00:38:48.29\00:38:51.46
CONFLICT IN HEAVEN - IT STARTED
IN HEAVEN - REVELATION 12 SAYS A
00:38:51.46\00:38:54.83
WAR BEGAN IN HEAVEN, BUT WE
SEE WE HAVE CONFLICT ON EARTH.
00:38:54.83\00:38:57.90
GO TO GENESIS CHAPTER 3 AND
WE'RE GOING TO BE READING VERSES
00:38:57.90\00:39:01.50
1 THROUGH 5. IN A
MOMENT SOMEBODY IS GOING
00:39:01.50\00:39:05.57
TO BE READING 1 PETER 5:8.
GENESIS 3, "NOW THE SERPENT WAS
00:39:05.57\00:39:12.48
MORE CUNNING THAN ANY
BEAST OF THE FIELD WHICH THE
00:39:12.48\00:39:14.92
LORD GOD HAD MADE. AND
HE SAID TO THE WOMAN," -
00:39:14.92\00:39:18.29
NOW WAIT A SECOND; DID
GOD MAKE SERPENTS TALKING?
00:39:18.29\00:39:21.16
HOW WAS IT THIS
SERPENT CAN TALK?
00:39:21.16\00:39:25.66
THE SAME WAY
BALAAM'S DONKEY TALKED.
00:39:25.66\00:39:28.90
GOD CAN INSPIRE AN ANIMAL
TO TALK AND SO CAN THE DEVIL.
00:39:28.90\00:39:34.37
IT SAYS THE SERPENT - THE DEVIL
DECIDED TO USE A BEAUTIFUL,
00:39:34.37\00:39:38.91
HYPNOTIC MEDIUM. NOW, ANY OF YOU
00:39:38.91\00:39:42.48
SCARED OF
SNAKES? ANY MEN OUT THERE
00:39:42.48\00:39:47.35
SCARED OF SNAKES? YOU
WON'T ADMIT (LAUGHTER) I
00:39:47.35\00:39:53.86
MEAN, I'LL PICK UP A
SNAKE, I'M NOT AFRAID OF SNAKES.
00:39:53.86\00:39:56.52
KAREN, I DON'T THINK IS SCARED
OF SNAKES. SHE'LL - WE HAD A PET
00:39:56.52\00:39:59.36
SNAKE WE CAUGHT - OUR
KIDS CAUGHT A LITTLE ROSY BOA -
00:39:59.36\00:40:02.70
THEY'RE HARMLESS - IN THE
BACKYARD - LITTLE, PINK - LOOKS
00:40:02.70\00:40:04.63
LIKE A BIG GLORIFIED WORM - AND
THEY PLAYED WITH IT FOR A FEW
00:40:04.63\00:40:07.84
DAYS AND NATHAN FOUND OUT WHEN
THEY ATE THEY HAD OTHER ISSUES
00:40:07.84\00:40:15.64
AND SO HE MADE A DIAPER FOR THE
SNAKE - HE PUT A BAND-AID ON IT.
00:40:15.64\00:40:19.38
(LAUGHTER) SO WE TOOK A PICTURE
OF THIS LITTLE SNAKE CRAWLING
00:40:19.38\00:40:22.95
AROUND WITH A BAND-AID - A
LITTLE PAMPER - SNAKE PAMPER -
00:40:22.95\00:40:26.79
ANYWAY, BUT BACK IN THE GARDEN
OF EDEN, NOBODY WAS AFRAID OF
00:40:26.79\00:40:29.49
SNAKES. EVE WASN'T
AFRAID OF ANYTHING.
00:40:29.49\00:40:33.26
AND THEY WERE BEAUTIFUL
CREATURES AND THEY MOVED IN A
00:40:33.26\00:40:35.46
VERY HYPNOTIC WAY AND SO
THE DEVIL CHOSE THIS MEDIUM.
00:40:35.46\00:40:40.00
AND HE BEGAN - FIRST QUESTION
IN THE BIBLE WAS THE DEVIL
00:40:40.00\00:40:42.90
QUESTIONING THE WORD
OF GOD. DON'T FORGET THAT.
00:40:42.90\00:40:46.07
ALL THE TROUBLE THAT WE HAVE IN
THE WORLD SPRINGS FROM DOUBTING
00:40:46.07\00:40:49.08
THE WORD OF GOD. 'HATH GOD
SAID?' 'DID GOD REALLY SAY, 'YOU
00:40:49.08\00:40:56.38
SHALL NOT EAT FROM ALL
THE TREES OF THE GARDEN?'
00:40:56.38\00:40:59.15
"AND THE WOMAN SAID TO THE
SERPENT, 'NO, THAT'S NOT WHAT
00:40:59.15\00:41:01.09
HE SAID. WE MAY EAT THE FRUIT
OF THE TREES OF THE GARDEN; BUT
00:41:01.09\00:41:04.03
OF THE FRUIT OF THE TREE WHICH
IS IN THE MIDST OF THE GARDEN,
00:41:04.03\00:41:06.76
GOD HAS SAID, 'YOU SHALL NOT EAT
IT, NOR SHALL YOU TOUCH IT, LEST
00:41:06.76\00:41:09.63
YOU DIE.' THEN THE SERPENT SAID
TO THE WOMAN, 'YOU'LL NOT SURELY
00:41:09.63\00:41:13.44
DIE. GOD'S JUST
TELLING YOU THIS.
00:41:13.44\00:41:15.70
GOD'S JUST LYING TO YOU.' "FOR
GOD KNOWS THAT IN THE DAY YOU
00:41:15.70\00:41:18.81
EAT OF IT YOUR EYES WILL BE
OPENED, AND YOU WILL BE LIKE
00:41:18.81\00:41:20.88
GOD," - YOU KNOW HOW
MANY RELIGIONS TEACH THAT?
00:41:20.88\00:41:23.91
THAT, YOU KNOW, IF YOU JUST
MEDITATE ENOUGH AND YOU'LL BE AT
00:41:23.91\00:41:26.01
ONE AND YOU STAY WITH
THIS RELIGION, AFTER A FEW
00:41:26.01\00:41:28.62
REINCARNATIONS OR RESURRECTIONS,
YOU THEN BECOME GOD.
00:41:28.62\00:41:33.09
THIS WHOLE THING ABOUT
MAN BECOMING GOD SPRINGS FROM
00:41:33.09\00:41:36.22
PAGANISM. 'YOU WILL NOT DIE.
YOUR EYES WILL BE OPENED YOU'LL
00:41:36.22\00:41:44.23
BE LIKE GOD KNOWING
GOOD AND EVIL.' NOW, DID GOD
00:41:44.23\00:41:46.20
WANT ADAM AND EVE
TO KNOW GOOD AND EVIL?
00:41:46.20\00:41:48.74
DID GOD WANT US TO
EXPERIENCE EVIL? NO.
00:41:48.74\00:41:53.01
AND YOU NOTICE
HOW THE DEVIL TEMPTS?
00:41:53.01\00:41:55.38
HE MIXES GOOD AND
EVIL IN HIS TEMPTATION.
00:41:55.38\00:41:58.91
ALRIGHT, GO AHEAD, READ FOR US
- THE BIBLE TELLS US THERE'S AN
00:41:58.91\00:42:01.82
ENEMY ROAMING OUT THERE WE NEED
TO BE AWARE OF. READ FOR US,
00:42:01.82\00:42:04.59
PLEASE, 1 PETER 5:8.
>>1 PETER 5:8, "BE SOBER, BE
00:42:04.59\00:42:09.49
VIGILANT; BECAUSE YOUR ADVERSARY
THE DEVIL WALKS ABOUT LIKE A
00:42:09.49\00:42:13.60
ROARING LION,
SEEKING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR."
00:42:13.60\00:42:16.97
>>'UP AND DOWN, TO AND FRO'
IS WHAT THE DEVIL SAID TO GOD.
00:42:16.97\00:42:20.24
'I'M WALKING UP AND DOWN TO AND
FRO IN THE EARTH.' IT'S KIND OF
00:42:20.24\00:42:22.84
LIKE A PACING LION ROAMING HIS
TERRITORY, LOOKING FOR HIS NEXT
00:42:22.84\00:42:28.84
VICTIM. HE'S ALSO
CALLED 'THE ACCUSER'.
00:42:28.84\00:42:31.91
GO TO ZECHARIAH 3 - AND THIS WAS
IN OUR MEMORY VERSE - ZECHARIAH
00:42:31.91\00:42:35.42
3:1, 2, "THEN HE SHOWED ME
JOSHUA THE HIGH PRIEST STANDING
00:42:35.42\00:42:39.55
BEFORE THE ANGEL OF THE LORD,"
- HOW DO YOU SAY JESUS' NAME IN
00:42:39.55\00:42:42.16
HEBREW? >>JOSHUA.
00:42:42.16\00:42:43.83
>>YASHUA - JOSHUA - SAME WORD.
"HE SHOWED ME JOSHUA THE HIGH
00:42:43.83\00:42:48.30
PRIEST STANDING BEFORE THE ANGEL
OF THE LORD, AND SATAN STANDING
00:42:48.30\00:42:50.90
AT HIS RIGHT HAND TO OPPOSE [TO
ACCUSE] HIM." NOW, DO YOU SEE A
00:42:50.90\00:42:56.30
GREAT CONTROVERSY HERE?
SOMEONE NAMED JOSHUA AND SOMEONE
00:42:56.30\00:42:59.37
NAMED THE DEVIL OPPOSING HIM?
AND IS JESUS OUR HIGH PRIEST?
00:42:59.37\00:43:04.55
THE WHOLE PLAN OF
SALVATION IS IN THIS VERSE.
00:43:04.55\00:43:07.62
"AND THE LORD SAID TO SATAN,
'THE LORD REBUKE YOU, SATAN!'"
00:43:07.62\00:43:11.35
- WHAT DID JESUS SAY -
REMEMBER WHEN MICHAEL COMES TO
00:43:11.35\00:43:13.76
RESURRECT MOSES AND THE DEVIL
COMES TO OPPOSE HIM AND SAYS,
00:43:13.76\00:43:17.79
'YOU CAN'T HAVE MOSES, HE
SINNED.' AND MICHAEL SAYS, 'THE
00:43:17.79\00:43:22.23
LORD REBUKE YOU.'
AND HE DIDN'T LISTEN.
00:43:22.23\00:43:25.17
MOSES WAS RESURRECTED, WE KNOW,
BECAUSE HE APPEARS TO JESUS IN
00:43:25.17\00:43:28.60
MARK CHAPTER 9. "THE
LORD REBUKE YOU, SATAN!
00:43:28.60\00:43:33.27
THE LORD WHO HAS
CHOSEN JERUSALEM REBUKE YOU!
00:43:33.27\00:43:35.68
IS THIS NOT A BRAND PLUCKED
FROM THE FIRE?" IT'S A VERY
00:43:35.68\00:43:38.61
INTERESTING VERSE BECAUSE YOU'VE
GOT JOSHUA - AND THAT MEANS
00:43:38.61\00:43:41.18
JESUS - YOU'VE GOT JERUSALEM
- YOU'VE GOT THE NEW JERUSALEM.
00:43:41.18\00:43:43.75
IT'S TALKING ABOUT THIS
BRAND PLUCKED FROM THE FIRE.
00:43:43.75\00:43:46.05
IT'S SET FOR BURNING BUT IT'S
SAVED - RESCUED FROM THE FIRE.
00:43:46.05\00:43:49.92
NOW HERE HE IS - IT SAYS, "NOW
JOSHUA WAS CLOTHED WITH FILTHY
00:43:49.92\00:43:53.26
GARMENTS," - AND THE DEVIL'S
POINTING TO THE DIRTY GARMENTS.
00:43:53.26\00:43:56.56
HE'S THE
ACCUSER OF THE BRETHREN.
00:43:56.56\00:43:57.97
YOU READ ABOUT
THAT IN REVELATION 12:9.
00:43:57.97\00:44:00.57
NOW YOU GO TO THE NEW TESTAMENT
- LAST BOOK - "SO THAT GREAT
00:44:00.57\00:44:03.74
DRAGON" - WHO'S THE DRAGON?
00:44:03.74\00:44:06.14
- KEEP READING - YOU DON'T HAVE
TO GUESS - "WAS CAST OUT; THAT
00:44:06.14\00:44:08.74
OLD SERPENT" - WHEN IT SAYS 'OLD
SERPENT', IT'S POINTING US BACK
00:44:08.74\00:44:11.88
TO GENESIS - "CALLED
THE DEVIL AND SATAN."
00:44:11.88\00:44:14.82
NOW, IF YOU'RE WONDERING WHO THE
DRAGON IS AND WHO THE SERPENT
00:44:14.82\00:44:17.15
IS, DOES IT MAKE IT
CLEAR IN THIS VERSE?
00:44:17.15\00:44:19.15
BECAUSE IT TIES THEM
ALTOGETHER IN ONE VERSE.
00:44:19.15\00:44:21.66
THE DRAGON, THE SERPENT, DEVIL,
SATAN - BEELZEBUB, APOLLYON -
00:44:21.66\00:44:26.49
HE'S GOT A LOT OF NAMES, BUT
IT MAKES IT REAL CLEAR, HE'S THE
00:44:26.49\00:44:29.60
EVIL ONE - "WHO DECEIVES
THE WHOLE WORLD" - MOST OF THE
00:44:29.60\00:44:32.80
WORLD'S FOOLED. SOME THINK
THE DEVIL EXISTS BUT HE'S GOOD.
00:44:32.80\00:44:38.31
THE DEVIL LOVES IT WHEN PEOPLE
LAUGH AND THINK IT'S JUST ALL A
00:44:38.31\00:44:42.31
JOKE AND, YOU KNOW, WE EAT
DEVIL'S FOOD CAKE AND IT'S JUST
00:44:42.31\00:44:48.72
- PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THIS GUY IN
RED LEOTARDS AND THEY JUST THINK
00:44:48.72\00:44:52.29
IT'S A SPOOF. AND IT SAYS
HE DECEIVES THE WHOLE WORLD.
00:44:52.29\00:44:57.99
HIS ANGELS WERE
CAST OUT WITH HIM.
00:44:57.99\00:45:00.73
"THEN I HEARD A VOICE SAYING,
'NOW SALVATION AND STRENGTH AND
00:45:00.73\00:45:03.60
THE KINGDOM OF OUR GOD AND POWER
OF HIS CHRIST HAS COME FOR THE
00:45:03.60\00:45:07.64
ACCUSER OF OUR BRETHREN, WHO
ACCUSED THEM BEFORE OUR GOD DAY
00:45:07.64\00:45:12.71
AND NIGHT HAS BEEN CAST OUT.
SO YOU GET A PICTURE HERE FROM
00:45:12.71\00:45:15.61
JOB AND REVELATION -
ACCUSED THEM BEFORE OUR GOD.
00:45:15.61\00:45:20.28
HERE YOU'VE GOT, IN ZECHARIAH,
THE DEVIL, OSTENSIBLY NOT ON
00:45:20.28\00:45:24.25
EARTH, IS ACCUSING
JOSHUA THE HIGH PRIEST.
00:45:24.25\00:45:28.16
HERE, YOU HAVE, IN REVELATION,
THE DEVIL IS CALLED 'THE ACCUSER
00:45:28.16\00:45:31.03
OF OUR BRETHREN' ONCE
OR TWICE OR DAY AND NIGHT?
00:45:31.03\00:45:34.10
AND THEN IN THE BOOK OF
JOB - 'OH,' - THE DEVIL SAYS -
00:45:34.10\00:45:36.87
'HE DOESN'T
SERVE YOU FOR NOTHING.
00:45:36.87\00:45:38.60
YOU'VE PUT A HEDGE ABOUT HIM.'
WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT NEXT WEEK.
00:45:38.60\00:45:41.17
AND SO, HE'S
CONSTANTLY ACCUSING US.
00:45:41.17\00:45:43.91
THERE IS A BATTLE GOING ON AND
SO, YOU KNOW, WHENEVER I'M - I
00:45:43.91\00:45:50.25
WISH I'D ALWAYS THINK ABOUT -
I CAN'T HONESTLY SAY I DO, BUT
00:45:50.25\00:45:53.98
SOMETIMES WHEN I'M TEMPTED
TO SIN, I KNOW THERE'S ANGELS
00:45:53.98\00:45:57.65
WATCHING AND GOD IS WATCHING -
I'M THINKING, DO I WANT TO GIVE
00:45:57.65\00:46:02.59
THE EVIL ANGELS AN OPPORTUNITY
TO BE HAPPY AND POINT TO GOD AND
00:46:02.59\00:46:07.46
SAY, 'OH, DOUG SAYS HE'S
YOUR SERVANT. WHAT A HYPOCRITE!
00:46:07.46\00:46:10.87
THIS IS HOW ALL YOUR SERVANTS
ARE.' OR DO I WANT GOD TO SAY,
00:46:10.87\00:46:15.07
'HAVE YOU CONSIDERED MY
SERVANT?'? YOU EVER THOUGHT
00:46:15.07\00:46:18.51
ABOUT IT THAT WAY?
ARE YOU EVER OFF CAMERA?
00:46:18.51\00:46:23.65
I WAS WORKING THIS WEEK WITH OUR
CREATIVE PRODUCTIONS DIRECTOR,
00:46:23.65\00:46:27.68
WAYNE AND HIS PHONE BEEPED
IN THE MIDDLE - WE WERE DOING
00:46:27.68\00:46:32.62
SOMETHING - HIS PHONE BEEPED HE
SAID, 'I'M SORRY, I'VE JUST GOT
00:46:32.62\00:46:34.49
A PACKAGE.' WELL, HE LIVES IN
FLORIDA, HE WAS OUT DOING SOME
00:46:34.49\00:46:36.86
TAPING. I SAID,
'YOU JUST GOT A PACKAGE?'
00:46:36.86\00:46:38.59
HE SAID, 'YEAH,' HE SAYS, 'I'VE
GOT A CAMERA AT MY FRONT DOOR.
00:46:38.59\00:46:42.10
EVERY TIME ANYBODY COMES TO MY
FRONT DOOR, THIS ALARM GOES OFF
00:46:42.10\00:46:45.33
AND IT TELLS ME AND I CAN LOOK
AND SEE.' HE SAID, 'IT'S JUST
00:46:45.33\00:46:48.07
THE MAILMAN.' AND HE'S WATCHING
WHAT'S HAPPENING AT ALL OF HIS
00:46:48.07\00:46:52.17
DOORS WHILE HE'S AT THE
OTHER END OF THE COUNTRY.
00:46:52.17\00:46:55.21
NOW YOU - SOME OF YOU PROBABLY
KNOW ABOUT THAT SOFTWARE.
00:46:55.21\00:46:57.51
I'D HEARD ABOUT IT BEFORE BUT
I'D NEVER SEEN IT IN OPERATION.
00:46:57.51\00:47:00.45
IT'S PRETTY COOL. OF
COURSE, WE SET UP SOME
00:47:00.45\00:47:06.35
WILDLIFE CAMERAS UP IN THE HILLS
IN COVELO BECAUSE WE WERE HAVING
00:47:06.35\00:47:10.03
PROBLEMS WITH MARIJUANA GROWERS
PLANTING POT ON OUR PROPERTY.
00:47:10.03\00:47:14.73
SO WE PUT THESE WILD - YOU
KNOW WHAT A WILDLIFE CAMERA IS?
00:47:14.73\00:47:16.93
IT'S A MOTION-ACTIVATED CAMERA.
00:47:16.93\00:47:19.20
AND, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN DO IT TO
TAKE PICTURES OF WILDLIFE, BUT -
00:47:19.20\00:47:23.44
AND WE PUT SIGNS UP THAT SAID,
'PROPERTY MONITORED BY HIDDEN
00:47:23.44\00:47:27.14
CAMERAS'. AND THAT'S
REALLY ALL WE NEEDED.
00:47:27.14\00:47:28.71
WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY
PROBLEMS SINCE THEN.
00:47:28.71\00:47:30.35
JUST THE IDEA THAT THERE ARE
HIDDEN CAMERAS OUT THERE, THE
00:47:30.35\00:47:32.65
POT GROWERS NEVER CAME BACK
BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE
00:47:32.65\00:47:35.05
THEY ARE. YOU PUT
IT IN THE KNOTHOLE OF A
00:47:35.05\00:47:36.45
TREE AND IT'S WATCHING
EVEN WHEN YOU WALK DOWN A TRAIL.
00:47:36.45\00:47:39.12
YOU'LL SAY, 'AH, I KNOW WHO IT
IS THAT'S TRYING TO GROW.' THEN
00:47:39.12\00:47:43.06
WE PLUGGED IN THE CHIP FROM ONE
OF THESE CAMERAS INTO THE LAPTOP
00:47:43.06\00:47:46.63
TO WATCH AND SEE WHAT WAS GOING
ON AND IT WAS ALL THESE COWS
00:47:46.63\00:47:51.27
WALKING BY - COWS, COWS, COWS,
COWS, COWS - AND I THOUGHT,
00:47:51.27\00:47:56.34
'WHAT, NO BEAR, A DEER, SOME
YETI - BIGFOOT - SOMETHING GOING
00:47:56.34\00:48:01.68
BY, BUT JUST COWS.' SO I LOST
INTEREST IN THE WILDLIFE CAMERAS
00:48:01.68\00:48:05.61
AT THAT POINT. YOU'VE GOT TO BE
CAREFUL WHERE YOU PUT THEM. BUT
00:48:05.61\00:48:09.52
GOD SEES EVERYTHING, DOESN'T
HE? YOU'RE NEVER OFF CAMERA.
00:48:09.52\00:48:16.22
YOU EVER HEARD ABOUT PEOPLE
WHO WERE IN PROMINENT PLACES AND
00:48:16.22\00:48:19.29
THEY FORGOT TO TURN
OFF THEIR MICROPHONE?
00:48:19.29\00:48:21.63
>>YES. >>AND THEY
SAID SOMETHING THEY
00:48:21.63\00:48:24.40
DIDN'T WANT EVERYBODY TO
HEAR? SOMETIMES ON NATIONAL
00:48:24.40\00:48:27.67
TELEVISION? I THINK
I'M VERY SENSITIVE TO THAT.
00:48:27.67\00:48:32.14
YOU'LL SEE ME - WHEN I SAY,
'AMEN' YOU'LL SEE ME REACH BACK
00:48:32.14\00:48:34.38
HERE. IT'S A HABIT. TURN IT OFF.
00:48:34.38\00:48:39.58
WELL, WITH GOD, THE
MICROPHONE'S ALWAYS ON.
00:48:39.58\00:48:44.29
THIS IS A PRINCIPLE THAT WE FIND
IN THE BOOK OF JOB MANY TIMES.
00:48:44.29\00:48:48.19
SO WE READ ABOUT
THE CONFLICT ON EARTH.
00:48:48.19\00:48:50.06
MATTHEW 4 - JESUS WAS LED UP
INTO THE WILDERNESS TEMPTED BY
00:48:50.06\00:48:54.56
THE DEVIL. WHO DOES THE DEVIL
ESPECIALLY HATE? IT'S JESUS.
00:48:54.56\00:49:00.07
SO THE BOOK OF JOB IS
A MICROCOSM OF THIS GREAT
00:49:00.07\00:49:03.67
CONTROVERSY THAT WE
FIND GOING ON IN THE WORLD.
00:49:03.67\00:49:06.14
HOW DID IT ALL BEGIN?
00:49:06.14\00:49:08.08
ALRIGHT, I'M GOING TO READ
- THERE ARE TWO PRINCIPLE OLD
00:49:08.08\00:49:11.28
TESTAMENT PASSAGES THAT
TELL ABOUT THE FALL OF LUCIFER.
00:49:11.28\00:49:13.82
HOW MANY OF YOU
KNOW WHAT THEY ARE?
00:49:13.82\00:49:14.98
YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS
BY HEART AS A CHRISTIAN.
00:49:14.98\00:49:17.82
ISAIAH 14, EZEKIEL 28 -
YOU DOUBLE 14, WHAT DO YOU GET?
00:49:17.82\00:49:23.99
28 - THAT'S ONE WAY
TO HELP YOU REMEMBER.
00:49:23.99\00:49:27.20
SO HERE IT TALKS ABOUT THESE TWO
PROPHECIES AGAINST TWO KINGS AND
00:49:27.20\00:49:31.17
THE DEVIL'S BEHIND THE KING.
THE PROPHETS BEGIN TALKING ABOUT
00:49:31.17\00:49:34.30
THESE KINGS - ONE THE KING
OF BABYLON, THE OTHER - KING OF
00:49:34.30\00:49:36.34
TYRE AND HE GOES AND HE
SEES THE POWER BEHIND THE KING.
00:49:36.34\00:49:40.54
WHO WAS BEHIND KING HEROD
WHEN HE KILLED THE BABIES IN
00:49:40.54\00:49:43.71
BETHLEHEM? WHO DO YOU
THINK WAS BEHIND THAT?
00:49:43.71\00:49:45.65
IT SAYS THE DRAGON TRIED TO
DEVOUR THE MAN-CHILD AS SOON AS
00:49:45.65\00:49:48.78
HE WAS BORN - REVELATION. IT
WAS THE DEVIL WORKING THROUGH
00:49:48.78\00:49:51.92
THAT ROMAN - THAT
CORRUPT ROMAN KING.
00:49:51.92\00:49:56.02
AND SO, IN THESE
PROPHETS IT SAYS THE SAME THING.
00:49:56.02\00:49:59.23
ISAIAH 14:12, "HOW YOU ARE
FALLEN FROM HEAVEN, O LUCIFER,
00:49:59.23\00:50:03.06
SON OF THE DAWN! YOU
HAVE BEEN CAST DOWN TO THE
00:50:03.06\00:50:05.83
EARTH, YOU WHO ONCE
LAID LOW THE NATIONS.
00:50:05.83\00:50:08.50
YOU SAID IN YOUR HEART, 'I WILL
ASCEND TO THE HEAVENS; I WILL
00:50:08.50\00:50:11.54
RAISE MY THRONE ABOVE THE STARS
OF GOD; I WILL SIT ENTHRONED ON
00:50:11.54\00:50:14.98
THE MOUNT OF ASSEMBLY, ON THE
UTMOST HEIGHTS OF MOUNT ZAPHON.
00:50:14.98\00:50:19.01
I WILL ASCEND ABOVE THE TOPS OF
THE CLOUDS; I WILL MAKE MYSELF
00:50:19.01\00:50:22.88
LIKE THE MOST HIGH.'" IT SAYS
'TO THE SIDES OF THE NORTH' -
00:50:22.88\00:50:25.55
THAT'S ALWAYS TALKING
ABOUT THE HIGHEST PLACE.
00:50:25.55\00:50:28.42
WHO IS THIS TALKING ABOUT, THE
KING OF BABYLON OR TALKING ABOUT
00:50:28.42\00:50:30.73
LUCIFER? IT'S THE DEVIL
00:50:30.73\00:50:33.63
WANTED THIS POSITION.
THE DEVIL WANTED TO BE GOD.
00:50:33.63\00:50:36.10
NOW, YOU AND I PROBABLY
ARE THINKING, 'HOW CRAZY DOES A
00:50:36.10\00:50:39.87
CREATURE NEED TO BE TO THINK
THAT THEY CAN OVERTHROW THE
00:50:39.87\00:50:43.57
CREATOR? YOU KNOW,
BUT YOU'VE GOT TO KEEP
00:50:43.57\00:50:48.01
IN MIND HE WAS THE
HIGHEST OF THE CREATED BEINGS.
00:50:48.01\00:50:55.15
WE DON'T KNOW
HOW LONG HE EXISTED.
00:50:55.15\00:50:56.32
WE DON'T KNOW WHEN, ON THE
CONTINUUM OF GOD'S CREATION -
00:50:56.32\00:50:59.12
WAS LUCIFER #1
OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE?
00:50:59.12\00:51:02.46
AND HE'D BEEN AROUND A LONG TIME
AND HE HAD SO MUCH POWER AND SO
00:51:02.46\00:51:04.86
MUCH WISDOM AND HE WAS SO
GOD-LIKE - OTHER THAN THE FACT
00:51:04.86\00:51:07.40
THAT HE WAS CREATED.
ANGELS ARE LIKE GODS TO US.
00:51:07.40\00:51:11.33
SUPERNATURAL BEINGS - THIS IS
THE CHIEF OF THE ANGELS AND HE
00:51:11.33\00:51:14.90
JUST BECAME SO FULL OF HIMSELF
BECAUSE HE WAS BEAUTIFUL.
00:51:14.90\00:51:17.24
AND THAT TAKES US TO
EZEKIEL 28:12 - ISAIAH 14:12 -
00:51:17.24\00:51:21.18
EZEKIEL 28:12 - WE
CAN REMEMBER THOSE.
00:51:21.18\00:51:24.08
"SON OF MAN, TAKE UP A
LAMENTATION FOR THE KING OF
00:51:24.08\00:51:27.58
TYRE, AND SAY TO HIM, 'THUS SAYS
THE LORD GOD: 'YOU WERE THE SEAL
00:51:27.58\00:51:31.29
OF PERFECTION, FULL OF
WISDOM AND PERFECT IN BEAUTY.
00:51:31.29\00:51:34.59
YOU WERE IN EDEN, THE GARDEN''"
- IT'S NOT - THE KING OF TYRE
00:51:34.59\00:51:36.86
WAS NOT IN EDEN SO WHO IS
HE TALKING ABOUT? THE DEVIL.
00:51:36.86\00:51:41.03
"YOU WERE IN EDEN, THE GARDEN
OF GOD;" - WAS THE DEVIL IN THE
00:51:41.03\00:51:43.67
GARDEN OF GOD? DID
HE TEMPT EVE THERE?
00:51:43.67\00:51:47.17
- "EVERY PRECIOUS STONE WAS
YOUR COVERING:" - COVERED WITH
00:51:47.17\00:51:49.37
GLITTERING JEWELS AND LIGHT
- AND IT LISTS THEM ALL THERE -
00:51:49.37\00:51:54.41
"FROM THE DAY YOU WERE CREATED
YOU WERE THE ANOINTED CHERUB" -
00:51:54.41\00:52:00.62
THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT THE
HIGHEST CHERUBS WERE THERE BY
00:52:00.62\00:52:03.25
THE THRONE OF GOD. YOU - IN THE
ARK OF THE COVENANT THERE ARE
00:52:03.25\00:52:06.72
TWO CHERUBS. THEY'RE
CALLED THE COVERING CHERUBS.
00:52:06.72\00:52:08.82
ISAIAH 6 - YOU'VE GOT THESE
TWO ANGELS THAT SAY 'HOLY, HOLY,
00:52:08.82\00:52:11.53
HOLY' BY THE THRONE OF
GOD. LUCIFER HELD THAT POSITION
00:52:11.53\00:52:16.13
AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD.
IT SAYS 'YOU WERE PERFECT ON
00:52:16.13\00:52:19.90
THE DAY YOU WERE CREATED
AND I PLACED YOU SO ON THE HOLY
00:52:19.90\00:52:24.34
MOUNTAIN IN THE MIDST
OF THE STONES OF FIRE.
00:52:24.34\00:52:26.44
YOU WERE BLAMELESS IN ALL YOUR
WAYS TILL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS WAS
00:52:26.44\00:52:30.35
FOUND IN YOU. IN THE
ABUNDANCE OF YOUR TRADE
00:52:30.35\00:52:33.42
YOU WERE FILLED WITH VIOLENCE IN
YOUR MIDST, AND YOU SINNED; SO I
00:52:33.42\00:52:37.22
CAST YOU OUT' -
WAS SATAN CAST OUT? -
00:52:37.22\00:52:41.12
'AS A PROFANE THING FROM THE
MOUNTAIN OF GOD; I DESTROY YOU -
00:52:41.12\00:52:44.86
I WILL DESTROY YOU, O COVERING
CHERUB, FROM THE MIDST OF THE
00:52:44.86\00:52:47.30
STONES OF FIRE.' IT SAYS HE'LL
BE BROUGHT TO THE PIT - AND
00:52:47.30\00:52:50.83
SATAN IS GOING TO BE
CAST INTO THE BOTTOMLESS PIT.
00:52:50.83\00:52:54.94
SO, THE WHOLE GREAT CONTROVERSY
CAN BE SEEN IN THE STORY OF THE
00:52:54.94\00:53:00.31
BOOK OF JOB. AND ALL
OF THIS IS A SPECTACLE.
00:53:00.31\00:53:05.18
SOMEONE LOOK UP FOR ME HEBREWS
4:13. YOU'LL HAVE THAT HAFDIS?
00:53:05.18\00:53:09.05
ALRIGHT, I'M GOING TO READ TO
YOU - AND THIS GOES ALONG WITH
00:53:09.05\00:53:11.05
THAT THEME THAT ALL THINGS CAN
BE SEEN. 1 TIMOTHY 3:6 - PAUL'S
00:53:11.05\00:53:17.56
TALKING ABOUT WHEN YOU PICK
A BISHOP OR AN ELDER, HE SAYS,
00:53:17.56\00:53:19.63
'DON'T LET THEM BE A NOVICE' - A
BEGINNER - 'LEST BEING PUFFED UP
00:53:19.63\00:53:23.63
WITH PRIDE, HE FALL INTO
THE SAME CONDEMNATION AS THE
00:53:23.63\00:53:27.44
DEVIL.' HOW DID THE
DEVIL GET INTO TROUBLE? PRIDE.
00:53:27.44\00:53:31.84
SOMEONE SAID, 'YOU'RE NEVER MORE
LIKE THE DEVIL THAN WHEN YOU'RE
00:53:31.84\00:53:35.08
PROUD.' OFTEN, WHEN PEOPLE
ARE SELF-CONSCIOUS, IT'S ANOTHER
00:53:35.08\00:53:39.81
FORM OF PRIDE, BECAUSE THEY'RE
THINKING ABOUT THEMSELVES -
00:53:39.81\00:53:43.69
THEY'RE CONSUMED WITH
THINKING ABOUT THEMSELVES.
00:53:43.69\00:53:45.65
ALRIGHT, GO AHEAD,
READ FOR US HEBREWS 4:13.
00:53:45.65\00:53:51.49
>>"AND THERE IS NO CREATURE
HIDDEN FROM HIS SIGHT BUT ALL
00:53:51.49\00:53:55.53
THINGS ARE NAKED AND OPEN TO THE
EYES OF HIM TO WHOM WE MUST GIVE
00:53:55.53\00:54:00.40
ACCOUNT." >>HOW
MUCH IS OPEN TO THE LORD?
00:54:00.40\00:54:03.61
>>ALL. >>THE
BIBLE SAYS 'THE EYES OF
00:54:03.61\00:54:05.81
THE LORD RUN TO AND FRO THROUGH
THE WHOLE EARTH.' ALL THINGS ARE
00:54:05.81\00:54:09.91
NAKED - GOD NOT ONLY SEES WHAT
WE DO, HE LOOKS INTO THE HEART
00:54:09.91\00:54:14.15
AND HE CAN SEE WHY
WE'RE DOING WHAT WE DO.
00:54:14.15\00:54:16.62
SO CAN A PERSON LOOK LIKE
THEY'RE PRAYING AND FASTING AND
00:54:16.62\00:54:19.52
GIVING FOR GOOD MOTIVES AND GOD
CAN LOOK AT THE HEART AND SAY,
00:54:19.52\00:54:22.72
'YOU'RE ALL DOING IT' - OR -
'YOU'RE DOING IT ALL TO BE SEEN
00:54:22.72\00:54:25.86
OF MEN.' AND JESUS SAID HE'S
MORE INTERESTED IN THE ATTITUDE
00:54:25.86\00:54:30.97
THAN THE ACTION. WHY ARE
WE DOING IT? IS IT FOR LOVE?
00:54:30.97\00:54:35.54
1 CORINTHIANS 4:9 - PAUL
SAYS, "FOR I THINK THAT GOD HAS
00:54:35.54\00:54:38.57
DISPLAYED US, THE APOSTLES, LAST
AS MEN CONDEMNED TO DEATH, WE
00:54:38.57\00:54:42.74
HAVE BEEN MADE A SPECTACLE
TO THE WORLD TO BOTH ANGELS AND
00:54:42.74\00:54:47.92
MEN." ALL - HE
SAID - ARE LOOKING.
00:54:47.92\00:54:52.69
EVEN ANGELS ARE WATCHING.
00:54:52.69\00:54:54.66
AND YOU CAN READ IN REVELATION
3, VERSE 5, "HE WHO OVERCOMES
00:54:54.66\00:55:00.63
WILL BE CLOTHED IN WHITE RAIMENT
AND I WILL NOT BLOT HIS NAME OUT
00:55:00.63\00:55:03.97
OF THE BOOK OF LIFE" - BUT IT
SAYS, "I WILL CONFESS HIS NAME"
00:55:03.97\00:55:10.54
- THIS IS THE VERSE I WAS
TALKING ABOUT BEFORE - HE SAYS,
00:55:10.54\00:55:12.61
"I'LL CONFESS HIS NAME BEFORE
MY FATHER AND BEFORE HIS ANGELS.
00:55:12.61\00:55:16.58
WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO HAVE JESUS
DO WHAT GOD DID FOR JOB AND
00:55:16.58\00:55:20.02
CONFESS YOUR NAME BEFORE
THE ANGELS OF GOD? AND THEN YOU
00:55:20.02\00:55:24.45
CAN READ - I READ THAT VERSE
TO YOU - 1 - 2 CHRONICLES 16:9,
00:55:24.45\00:55:28.02
"THE EYES OF THE LORD RUN TO AND
FRO THROUGH THE WHOLE EARTH."
00:55:28.02\00:55:30.86
AND THE LAST SEGMENT HERE TALKS
ABOUT ANSWERS AT THE CROSS .
00:55:30.86\00:55:35.20
IT TELLS US NOW - JOHN 12:31 -
JESUS SAID, "NOW IS THE JUDGMENT
00:55:35.20\00:55:40.27
OF THIS WORLD; NOW THE RULER
OF THIS WORLD WILL BE CAST OUT."
00:55:40.27\00:55:44.81
AND I'M GLAD WE CAN KIND OF
FINISH THIS LESSON ON A GOOD
00:55:44.81\00:55:46.81
NOTE. SATAN HAS
CLAIMED THIS WORLD AS
00:55:46.81\00:55:49.08
HIS DOMINION, BUT DID
SOMETHING HAPPEN AT THE CROSS?
00:55:49.08\00:55:52.48
>>AMEN. >>SATAN'S
COMING DOWN WITH GREAT
00:55:52.48\00:55:55.38
WRATH BECAUSE HE
KNOWS HIS TIME IS SHORT.
00:55:55.38\00:55:58.99
HE KNOWS HIS DOOM IS SEALED. HE
IS ON DEATH ROW. HE IS TRYING TO
00:55:58.99\00:56:04.83
RIP AND TEAR AND CAUSE AS MUCH
HAVOC AS HE CAN - TAKE AS MANY
00:56:04.83\00:56:09.66
WITH HIM AS HE CAN - BUT HE
KNOWS HIS DAYS ARE NUMBERED.
00:56:09.66\00:56:14.17
AND, AT THE CROSS, JESUS THROUGH
HIS SUCCESSFUL, VICTORIOUS, PURE
00:56:14.17\00:56:18.54
LIFE, HE DEFEATED
THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL.
00:56:18.54\00:56:21.38
HE MADE A WAY OF
ESCAPE FOR EACH ONE OF US.
00:56:21.38\00:56:23.81
AND YOU CAN READ IN REVELATION
12, VERSE 10, "THEN I HEARD A
00:56:23.81\00:56:28.65
LOUD VOICE SAYING IN HEAVEN,
'NOW SALVATION, AND STRENGTH,
00:56:28.65\00:56:32.49
AND THE KINGDOM OF OUR GOD,
AND THE POWER OF HIS CHRIST HAVE
00:56:32.49\00:56:35.39
COME, FOR THE ACCUSER OF
OUR BRETHREN, WHO ACCUSED THEM
00:56:35.39\00:56:38.63
BEFORE OUR GOD DAY AND NIGHT,
HAS BEEN CAST DOWN.'' IT SAYS,
00:56:38.63\00:56:42.03
'I WILL CAST YOU OUT.'
HE WAS CAST OUT OF HEAVEN.
00:56:42.03\00:56:45.20
'I WILL CAST YOU DOWN.' AND THE
FINAL VERSE I'LL READ TO YOU IS
00:56:45.20\00:56:49.87
HEBREWS CHAPTER 2, VERSE 14,
"INASMUCH THEN AS THE CHILDREN
00:56:49.87\00:56:54.88
HAVE PARTAKEN OF FLESH
AND BLOOD, HE HIMSELF [CHRIST]
00:56:54.88\00:56:57.95
LIKEWISE SHARED IN THE SAME,
THAT THROUGH DEATH HE MIGHT
00:56:57.95\00:57:02.98
DESTROY HIM WHO HAD THE POWER
OF DEATH, THAT IS, THE DEVIL."
00:57:02.98\00:57:10.16
WHAT DO YOU HAVE WHEN YOU
TAKE THE WORD 'D' OFF DEVIL?
00:57:10.16\00:57:13.76
OR THE LETTER 'D'? EVIL.
00:57:13.76\00:57:16.00
THE DEVIL IS
CONSUMMATE EVIL. WHO?
00:57:16.00\00:57:17.70
JESUS DESTROYED THE POWER OF THE
DEVIL AND THE POWER OF THE DEVIL
00:57:17.70\00:57:22.37
IS DEATH. THE PENALTY FOR SIN
IS DEATH. JESUS DESTROYED THAT
00:57:22.37\00:57:25.87
POWER. HE IS
OFFERING US WHAT? >>LIFE.
00:57:25.87\00:57:28.44
>>ETERNAL LIFE -
THE OPPOSITE OF THAT.
00:57:28.44\00:57:30.48
SO THE WHOLE PLAN OF SALVATION -
THE WHOLE GREAT CONTROVERSY CAN
00:57:30.48\00:57:33.28
CLEARLY BE SEEN
IN THE BOOK OF JOB.
00:57:33.28\00:57:35.35
I WANT TO REMIND OUR FRIENDS
THAT ARE WATCHING, WE DO HAVE A
00:57:35.35\00:57:37.92
FREE OFFER. YOU MAY HAVE MISSED
THIS AT THE BEGINNING - I WANT
00:57:37.92\00:57:40.12
TO MENTION TO YOU AGAIN - IT'S
A GREAT BOOK. THE TITLE SCARES
00:57:40.12\00:57:44.09
PEOPLE, BUT YOU'VE GOT TO
READ IT. IT'S REALLY GOOD.
00:57:44.09\00:57:45.96
I REMEMBER I PUT MY PLANE ON
AUTOPILOT ONCE WHEN I WAS FLYING
00:57:45.96\00:57:48.90
A LONG WAYS AND I READ
THIS WHILE I WAS FLYING.
00:57:48.90\00:57:51.20
I WAS ON - THEY WERE WATCHING
