Jesus said: "If you love
Me, keep my commandments."
00:00:01.98\00:00:05.38
Now people all over the
world are turning back to God's
00:00:05.66\00:00:08.98
eternal moral law, claiming
His promise to write them
00:00:09.01\00:00:12.51
in our hearts and our
minds. Live from the DC Armory
00:00:12.54\00:00:16.01
in our nations
capital, 3ABN presents
00:00:16.04\00:00:20.02
The Commandments Weekend.
00:00:20.13\00:00:23.32
Hello and welcome back to
Washington DC where we have
00:00:26.45\00:00:29.94
a live audience and
excited audience, amen?
00:00:29.97\00:00:33.10
Amen!
00:00:33.22\00:00:34.36
And now we're going to
have a wonderful presentation
00:00:34.40\00:00:38.11
by 2 doctors, but before we
do that, I want to introduce
00:00:38.14\00:00:41.82
to you Darrel
Marshall and Darrel is known
00:00:41.85\00:00:45.06
for his sense of humor, but also
for a sincere heart that he has
00:00:45.10\00:00:49.54
for the Lord and he's
been singing with 3ABN
00:00:49.57\00:00:52.88
since 1999 and right
now Darrel is going to sing
00:00:52.91\00:00:56.19
a wonderful song called
"Praise the Lord", Darrel.
00:00:56.69\00:01:00.67
When you're up
against a struggle
00:01:20.29\00:01:23.52
That shatters all your dreams
00:01:23.92\00:01:27.35
And your hopes have
been cruelly crushed
00:01:27.63\00:01:30.64
By Satan's manifested schemes.
00:01:31.04\00:01:35.27
You feel the urge within you
00:01:35.37\00:01:38.64
To submit to earthly fears
00:01:39.06\00:01:42.63
Don't let the
faith your standing in
00:01:42.67\00:01:46.26
Seem to disappear
00:01:46.47\00:01:49.40
Praise the Lord.
00:01:49.44\00:01:52.34
He can work with
those who praise Him
00:01:54.01\00:01:57.49
Praise the Lord.
00:01:57.77\00:02:01.39
For our God inhabits praise.
00:02:01.50\00:02:04.82
Praise the Lord.
00:02:05.04\00:02:08.39
For the chains
that seem to bind you
00:02:08.99\00:02:12.05
Serve only to remind you
00:02:12.71\00:02:15.77
that they'll drop
powerless behind you.
00:02:15.85\00:02:19.51
When you praise Him.
00:02:20.27\00:02:24.78
Now listen.
00:02:25.81\00:02:27.30
Now Satan is a liar and
he wants to make us think
00:02:27.80\00:02:34.04
that we are paupers,
when he knows himself
00:02:34.70\00:02:38.95
that we're children of the King.
00:02:38.98\00:02:42.04
So lift up the
mighty shield of faith
00:02:42.14\00:02:45.45
For the battle must be won
00:02:46.49\00:02:49.27
We know that
Jesus Christ has risen
00:02:49.60\00:02:53.13
So the work's already done.
00:02:53.46\00:02:56.88
Praise the Lord.
00:02:57.17\00:03:00.15
He can work with
those who praise Him
00:03:01.52\00:03:04.39
Praise the Lord.
00:03:05.20\00:03:08.46
For our God inhabits praise.
00:03:08.78\00:03:12.07
Praise the Lord.
00:03:12.41\00:03:15.25
For the chains
that seem to bind you
00:03:16.44\00:03:19.40
Serve only to remind you
00:03:20.13\00:03:23.23
that they'll drop
powerless behind you.
00:03:23.27\00:03:26.64
When you praise Him.
00:03:27.65\00:03:30.44
Praise the Lord.
00:03:33.61\00:03:36.75
He can work with
those who praise Him
00:03:39.02\00:03:41.90
Praise the Lord.
00:03:42.73\00:03:46.10
For our God inhabits praise.
00:03:46.40\00:03:49.18
Praise the Lord.
00:03:49.92\00:03:52.32
For the chains
that seem to bind you
00:03:53.90\00:03:57.28
Serve only to remind you
00:03:57.49\00:04:00.54
that they'll drop
powerless behind you.
00:04:00.75\00:04:04.45
When you praise Him.
00:04:05.04\00:04:08.44
Praise Him.
00:04:09.38\00:04:11.63
Praise Him.
00:04:13.03\00:04:15.97
You want to praise Him today?
00:04:17.31\00:04:19.23
When you praise Him.
00:04:19.89\00:04:25.07
When you praise
00:04:27.21\00:04:32.53
the Lord.
00:04:38.44\00:04:42.16
Yes, Amen.
00:04:44.75\00:04:46.65
Thank you Darrel.
00:04:49.90\00:04:51.62
Listening to him sing makes
me want to praise the Lord.
00:04:51.87\00:04:54.64
Well you know, you might
ask yourself "why do we have"
00:04:54.74\00:04:56.90
"2 scientists on when
we're here to celebrate"
00:04:56.93\00:04:59.83
"the 10 commandments?"
00:04:59.86\00:05:01.26
Dr. Robert Gentry
and Dr. David Gentry
00:05:01.30\00:05:04.36
are here to talk to us
today about the 10 commandments
00:05:04.40\00:05:07.98
cosmic code and they're
both research scientists,
00:05:08.01\00:05:11.68
well published, it's
interesting, papa Gentry here,
00:05:11.71\00:05:15.29
Dr. Robert Gentry, he's
an author, he's published
00:05:15.32\00:05:18.83
in many papers, but the son
is not lacking in intelligence
00:05:18.87\00:05:22.94
because Dr. David Gentry
not only does he have an MBA,
00:05:22.97\00:05:27.01
and an MD, but he
also has a BS in Physics,
00:05:27.04\00:05:30.11
so they're here to tell us
about God's 10 commandments
00:05:30.15\00:05:33.62
cosmic code,
thank you gentlemen.
00:05:33.65\00:05:35.50
[Audience claps]
00:05:37.15\00:05:39.70
Thank you Shelley for
the opportunity, and Danny,
00:05:42.32\00:05:44.96
for the opportunity for
David and I to be here today.
00:05:45.06\00:05:47.77
We're just going to
launch directly into our program
00:05:48.31\00:05:51.46
and that program begins with
something that happened way back
00:05:52.04\00:05:55.43
in 1945 and it will
soon appear on the screen,
00:05:55.46\00:06:01.29
there it is, Los Alamos
National Laboratory is near
00:06:01.39\00:06:05.69
Alamogordo, New Mexico.
00:06:05.79\00:06:08.13
It was early morning,
July 16, 1945, a group
00:06:08.16\00:06:12.66
of scientists had gathered
there and in the distance
00:06:12.70\00:06:15.94
was a tower and on that
tower a device, a nuclear device
00:06:15.97\00:06:19.18
ready to be exploded,
the code name was "Trinity"
00:06:19.21\00:06:22.30
and the countdown began,
00:06:22.62\00:06:25.51
and then a button was pushed,
and look the nuclear age comes
00:06:25.55\00:06:29.39
bursting on the scene
and the world then found
00:06:29.42\00:06:32.64
that the United States had won
the race to unleash the mighty,
00:06:32.68\00:06:35.86
mighty power of the atom.
00:06:35.89\00:06:38.41
It was too awesome to
remain untamed and the world
00:06:38.45\00:06:41.25
wondered who was going
to take advantage of it all.
00:06:41.29\00:06:44.39
So began the quest, you
see, to harness that power
00:06:44.43\00:06:47.26
for peace, while others
feared it was going to be
00:06:47.30\00:06:50.10
the beginning of another war.
00:06:50.30\00:06:52.12
The beginning of the nuclear
age after that period in time,
00:06:52.42\00:06:55.30
you may remember, we all
know that scientists then began
00:06:55.64\00:06:58.76
to become elevated in public
opinion, whatever scientists
00:06:58.80\00:07:01.89
said had the
air, or aura of truth,
00:07:01.92\00:07:04.87
and scientists, more or
less, began to drift away from
00:07:04.91\00:07:07.85
the 10 commandments and
the literal story of creation,
00:07:07.95\00:07:10.63
they wanted something different,
and that something different,
00:07:10.81\00:07:13.43
of course, was evolution.
00:07:13.46\00:07:15.70
Well David and I are here today
to reaffirm, scientifically,
00:07:15.93\00:07:20.88
the great truths of Revelation.
00:07:20.91\00:07:23.24
I'm Dr. Robert Gentry,
this is of course, David,
00:07:23.28\00:07:25.58
he's already been introduced,
and we're going to be exploring
00:07:25.71\00:07:28.19
these great
scientific truths of creation,
00:07:29.02\00:07:32.00
and something in particular
happened, we believe, or
00:07:32.64\00:07:35.51
our thesis here today is that
God is trying to bring the world
00:07:35.71\00:07:38.68
back to an understanding
of the scientific validity
00:07:38.71\00:07:41.96
of the 10 commandments and
at the end of 1968 something
00:07:42.12\00:07:45.88
amazing happened that God,
we believe, was trying to use
00:07:45.92\00:07:49.65
to affirm the 10 commandments.
00:07:49.68\00:07:52.48
So, let's take a look at
what that might have happened
00:07:52.61\00:07:56.06
to have been at the end of 1968.
00:07:56.09\00:07:59.43
It was almost 40 years ago,
00:07:59.64\00:08:01.51
in 1968 when the astronauts
were orbiting the Moon,
00:08:01.55\00:08:06.30
Anders, Lovell and Bornman,
they were in the command module
00:08:06.34\00:08:10.27
and NASA allowed them
to send a special message
00:08:10.72\00:08:13.22
back to Earth, what was in that
special message that captured
00:08:13.26\00:08:17.21
the attention of
the Earth at that time?
00:08:17.24\00:08:19.75
We have here a transcript
of what the astronauts said
00:08:20.52\00:08:23.80
at that time.
00:08:24.05\00:08:25.31
Astronaut Anders said: "In
the beginning, God created"
00:08:26.15\00:08:28.95
"the heaven and the
Earth", now remember,
00:08:28.98\00:08:31.28
from the Moon, this is
astronaut Anders calling back,
00:08:32.48\00:08:35.39
"In the beginning, God
created the heaven and Earth,"
00:08:35.43\00:08:38.27
"and the Earth was without form
and void and darkness was upon"
00:08:38.31\00:08:42.05
"the face of the deep
and the Spirit of God moved"
00:08:42.08\00:08:45.38
"upon the face of the
deep, and the Spirit of God"
00:08:45.83\00:08:48.12
"moved upon the waters, and
God said: Let there be light"
00:08:48.43\00:08:51.88
"and there was light. And God
saw the light that it was good"
00:08:51.91\00:08:55.33
"and God divided the
light from the darkness."
00:08:55.36\00:08:57.74
Then astronaut
Lovell came on the radio
00:08:57.87\00:09:01.30
and He said: "And God called
the light day and the darkness"
00:09:03.14\00:09:06.57
"He called night, and
the evening and the morning"
00:09:06.60\00:09:08.72
"were the first day. And God
said: Let there be firmament"
00:09:08.76\00:09:12.74
"in the midst of the waters
and let it divide the waters"
00:09:13.04\00:09:16.30
"from the waters. And God
made the firmament and divided"
00:09:16.33\00:09:19.52
"the waters which were above
the firmament, and it was so."
00:09:19.56\00:09:22.39
"And God called the firmament
heaven, and the evening"
00:09:22.58\00:09:25.67
"and the morning,
were the second day."
00:09:25.70\00:09:28.14
Then the third astronaut
from the Moon announced,
00:09:28.18\00:09:32.64
astronaut Bornman: "And
God said: Let the waters under"
00:09:32.88\00:09:36.04
the heavens be gathered together
in one place and the dry"
00:09:36.08\00:09:39.21
"land appeared and it
was so. And God called"
00:09:39.24\00:09:41.50
"the dry land Earth,
and the gathering together"
00:09:41.54\00:09:43.73
"of the waters, he called seas.
And God saw that it was good."
00:09:43.77\00:09:47.93
"And from the crew of Apollo 8,"
00:09:48.13\00:09:50.30
"We pause with
Goodnight, Good luck,"
00:09:50.72\00:09:55.46
"a Merry Christmas
and God Bless all of you."
00:09:56.02\00:10:00.21
"All of you on the good Earth."
00:10:00.55\00:10:03.07
The situation was
that that evening,
00:10:03.11\00:10:06.12
that Christmas eve
1968, myself, my wife, Pat,
00:10:06.16\00:10:10.68
and the 3 children were on
the way down to South Carolina.
00:10:10.72\00:10:14.78
We heard it. I was stunned
that indeed the astronauts,
00:10:14.94\00:10:18.39
United States astronauts,
some of the finest scientists
00:10:18.42\00:10:21.84
in America were, on that
particular evening gone back
00:10:22.44\00:10:25.62
to Genesis, and quote from the
King James Version of the Bible
00:10:25.66\00:10:29.44
the first 3 days
of creation, amazing!
00:10:29.47\00:10:32.92
It was amazing to me, it
was astounding because, you see
00:10:32.96\00:10:35.67
by this time I had
begun to relook into the story
00:10:35.70\00:10:38.34
of creation, and I new
that scientific community
00:10:38.38\00:10:40.95
was drifting further and further
and further away from Genesis,
00:10:40.99\00:10:44.25
but here, God was
making an announcement through
00:10:44.40\00:10:46.74
the astronauts, come
back to Earth, all over Earth
00:10:46.77\00:10:49.08
through that Christmas Eve.
00:10:49.38\00:10:51.06
So the question is, what
has happened since that time?
00:10:51.27\00:10:54.58
Has their message been
accepted or has it been ignored?
00:10:54.61\00:10:57.89
Well, the scientific
community has widely rejected
00:10:58.25\00:11:02.79
the message of Genesis
that was sent back to the Earth
00:11:03.16\00:11:06.48
on the Christmas Eve in 1968.
00:11:06.58\00:11:09.56
They have rejected that
God has created the Earth,
00:11:09.76\00:11:12.65
but in that rejection they have
ignored published scientific
00:11:13.26\00:11:17.52
evidence which actually supports
a young age of the Earth,
00:11:17.55\00:11:21.78
and a rapid crystallization
of the host rocks of the Earth.
00:11:21.93\00:11:26.05
We're not going to be focusing
today on that particular
00:11:27.17\00:11:29.54
part of the evidence,
the evidence of the young age
00:11:29.58\00:11:32.33
of the Earth and the
evidence of creation itself,
00:11:32.37\00:11:35.09
we're actually going to
be looking at the theory
00:11:35.37\00:11:38.23
which under girds all of
evolution, the Big Bang theory,
00:11:38.27\00:11:42.06
and why does science
have such a fascination
00:11:42.26\00:11:45.24
with that Big Bang theory?
00:11:45.27\00:11:47.03
And we're going to be
looking at the cosmic expansion,
00:11:47.07\00:11:49.67
but first, dad, why
don't you tell us a little bit,
00:11:50.03\00:11:53.50
just briefly, about
the Big Bang and what we're
00:11:53.53\00:11:56.97
going to be looking at.
00:11:57.00\00:11:58.44
The Big Bang theory, as
most of us know, I think,
00:11:58.64\00:12:00.88
indicates, or suggests,
or believes, postulates,
00:12:01.09\00:12:04.53
billions and billions years ago
all the matter in the Universe
00:12:04.93\00:12:08.24
came boiling out
of, guess what, nothing.
00:12:08.27\00:12:10.63
That's right,
that's what's believed.
00:12:10.67\00:12:13.00
It comes out of
absolutely nothing.
00:12:13.20\00:12:14.93
So, the so called
vacuum, what is the vacuum?
00:12:14.97\00:12:16.86
Vacuum is energy, so
where does the energy come from?
00:12:16.90\00:12:19.06
Nobody knows.
00:12:19.09\00:12:20.08
Anyway, supposedly everything
comes out absolutely nothing,
00:12:20.12\00:12:22.91
sooner or later stars
were formed and supernova,
00:12:22.94\00:12:25.30
and then other stars were formed
and sooner or later here's
00:12:25.34\00:12:28.03
where we come today.
00:12:28.06\00:12:29.31
It's going to be
interesting for us to see today,
00:12:29.45\00:12:31.94
that the foundation of
that Big Bang is all wrong.
00:12:31.98\00:12:34.44
But one prediction in particular
is that in the Big Bang
00:12:34.56\00:12:38.69
you have to have a Universe
that is the same everywhere,
00:12:38.72\00:12:42.82
there is no center to
the universein the Big Bang,
00:12:42.85\00:12:44.90
we're going to find out
differently, we're going
00:12:44.94\00:12:46.92
to find out that the
greatest scientists in the world
00:12:46.96\00:12:49.99
have actually ignored some
very, very persuasive evidence
00:12:50.09\00:12:53.16
that would disprove
this fundamental premise
00:12:53.19\00:12:55.21
of the Big Bang.
00:12:55.31\00:12:56.87
So, it's our
discovery that we're going to be
00:12:57.04\00:12:58.64
talking about this afternoon.
00:12:58.67\00:13:00.20
Well of course, this
stands in marked contrast.
00:13:00.24\00:13:02.97
The theory that the
universeis everywhere the same,
00:13:03.34\00:13:06.02
that stands in marked
contrast and contradiction
00:13:06.06\00:13:09.82
to the plane words of
scripture in Revelation 20:11,
00:13:09.86\00:13:13.59
which says John the Revelator
saw a great white throne
00:13:13.95\00:13:17.10
in the heavens,
the throne of God,
00:13:17.49\00:13:20.11
we're going to be looking
more at that great white throne
00:13:20.33\00:13:22.79
and seeing is there's
any evidence that that throne
00:13:22.82\00:13:25.99
occupies a special place
in the Universe, specifically,
00:13:26.02\00:13:29.16
is that great white throne
at the center of the Universe?
00:13:29.47\00:13:33.54
I think this presentation
could be of interest not to just
00:13:33.74\00:13:37.18
people of faith, but
to people of all religious
00:13:37.21\00:13:39.86
persuasions, even people
who don't believe in God,
00:13:39.89\00:13:42.51
because this issue
touches at the heart of where
00:13:42.58\00:13:45.79
we all came from.
00:13:45.82\00:13:47.56
Yes it does touch at the heart
from where we all came from,
00:13:48.66\00:13:52.69
and there is something very
very special about, we believe,
00:13:52.94\00:13:56.45
about the discovery being
made at this particular time
00:13:56.48\00:13:59.17
and that is, that it has
implications with respect to
00:13:59.60\00:14:03.40
the second appearing of
Christ in the clouds of heaven.
00:14:03.68\00:14:07.49
You may ask "how can
that possibly be?", but we're
00:14:07.52\00:14:10.67
going to find out that
indeed, that is the case.
00:14:10.70\00:14:13.82
Very very briefly though,
we want to get our foundations
00:14:13.98\00:14:16.92
in the Bible, Hebrews 10 talks
about Christ offering Himself
00:14:17.02\00:14:21.33
as a perfect sacrifice for
one time only, then it says
00:14:21.73\00:14:25.76
He sat down at
the right hand of God.
00:14:25.79\00:14:28.64
Then it goes on to say
that this sitting down, after He
00:14:29.22\00:14:32.78
made the sacrifice, says
that indeed He was - what?
00:14:32.81\00:14:36.34
The new covenant was
going to be given at the time,
00:14:36.71\00:14:39.62
putting God's laws in
each of our hearts and minds.
00:14:39.77\00:14:41.98
Which laws are those?
The laws that we're talking
00:14:42.01\00:14:44.15
about today, the 10 commandments
being written on each
00:14:44.19\00:14:47.15
of our hearts, and then it
goes on to say that through this
00:14:47.19\00:14:50.23
new and living way, which
was opened through Christ's
00:14:50.26\00:14:52.80
sacrifice, we go
into the sanctuary.
00:14:52.83\00:14:55.81
So we want to remember this
afternoon as we're speaking,
00:14:55.85\00:14:58.66
we are going into the sanctuary
in heaven, by faith, through
00:14:59.01\00:15:02.71
the sacrifice of Christ.
This is how we understand
00:15:02.74\00:15:05.33
these discoveries that
we've been able to make.
00:15:05.36\00:15:07.92
We're actually going to be
looking at a couple of pictures
00:15:08.17\00:15:11.56
taken from the Hubble
Space Telescope to begin
00:15:11.80\00:15:14.60
our presentation.
00:15:14.63\00:15:16.57
And there we want to
bring out the photograph
00:15:16.76\00:15:19.22
of the Hubble Space
Telescope as it is now,
00:15:19.26\00:15:21.69
orbiting the Earth.
00:15:21.72\00:15:23.67
Let's look at the first graphic
that was taken by Hubble.
00:15:24.05\00:15:28.74
It's the Ant Nebula in
the Menzel 3 exploding star,
00:15:28.77\00:15:34.18
and it exploded like
an ant, how about that?
00:15:34.28\00:15:37.54
Then we're going to
have the Eskimo Nebula.
00:15:37.67\00:15:41.08
Again, an exploding
star, can you believe that's
00:15:41.43\00:15:43.40
in the heavens? It really
is, it's been photographed by
00:15:43.44\00:15:46.16
the Hubble Space Telescope,
5,000 light years away
00:15:46.19\00:15:49.29
in the constellation Gemini.
00:15:49.60\00:15:51.61
And then we're going to
have the Cat's Eye Nebula.
00:15:51.65\00:15:54.21
We had someone speak
last night referring to cats,
00:15:54.24\00:15:57.60
and here is in this
Universe the Cat's Eye Nebula
00:15:57.88\00:16:01.99
in NGC 6543. Beautiful!
00:16:02.15\00:16:05.25
We believe that,
indeed, God is trying to attract
00:16:05.29\00:16:07.69
the attention of the world
to these magnificent wonders
00:16:07.73\00:16:10.26
in the heavens.
00:16:10.29\00:16:11.83
I just wanted to say that we
came to the meeting last night
00:16:13.57\00:16:16.93
where David Asscherick
was speaking and dad really
00:16:16.96\00:16:19.01
appreciated his illustration
of people before conversion
00:16:19.05\00:16:23.54
and after conversion.
Before conversion they're much
00:16:23.58\00:16:28.04
like what? Cats.
00:16:28.07\00:16:30.48
And after conversion
they're more like? Dogs.
00:16:30.52\00:16:33.02
We've never heard that
illustration, it's a great
00:16:33.05\00:16:35.89
one though, but here we
see the Pillars of Creation,
00:16:35.93\00:16:38.74
the Eagle Nebula.
The Pillars of Creation
00:16:39.83\00:16:43.55
are columns hundreds of light
years long, of rarified gas
00:16:43.59\00:16:47.58
and from my understanding
it took the astronomers months
00:16:48.02\00:16:52.01
to name this
particular structure they were
00:16:52.19\00:16:55.80
so awed by it And in
the next illustration
00:16:55.84\00:16:59.38
we have an example of
the Barred Spiral Galaxy.
00:16:59.42\00:17:02.89
David, let's ask a question,
as we see those spiral arms,
00:17:03.26\00:17:07.07
and we see that bright center
there, what are we looking at
00:17:07.11\00:17:10.89
in terms of that
nebulosity in the center?
00:17:10.92\00:17:13.08
That isn't just dust,
those are hundreds of billions
00:17:13.53\00:17:16.46
of stars, each of these galaxies
has so many stars that they
00:17:16.50\00:17:20.29
can't be completely resolved
by the telescope, but each
00:17:20.32\00:17:23.84
galaxy has hundreds of
billions of stars and as we're
00:17:23.88\00:17:27.33
going to see later when we look
at the Hubble Ultra Deep Field
00:17:27.37\00:17:30.57
that the universeitself
contains hundreds of billions
00:17:30.68\00:17:34.37
of galaxies.
00:17:34.40\00:17:36.73
Almost more than we can
actually begin to think about.
00:17:37.17\00:17:39.93
Let's look at the next
one here, the Sombrero.
00:17:39.96\00:17:43.32
Again, what we're saying is,
what appears to be just dust,
00:17:43.40\00:17:47.09
are collections of
hundreds of millions of stars.
00:17:47.19\00:17:50.61
It is simply that the
Hubble Space Telescope is unable
00:17:50.65\00:17:53.63
to actually separate the
stars because the distance
00:17:53.67\00:17:56.93
is so great, and look at
that dust lane right there
00:17:56.96\00:18:00.19
in the center of the Sombrero.
00:18:00.22\00:18:02.48
Somebody planned this so
that we today could actually see
00:18:02.58\00:18:07.64
the marvels of
creation in the Universe.
00:18:07.67\00:18:11.79
Are David and I are saying
that we believe the Universe,
00:18:12.19\00:18:14.91
this visible Universe, of
galaxies we're looking at,
00:18:14.95\00:18:17.64
are part of the 6 day creation,
and that the 7th day Sabbath
00:18:17.93\00:18:21.99
is the memorial of the
creation of these galaxies?
00:18:22.02\00:18:24.97
Yes! We're saying that indeed,
the marvels of the Universe
00:18:25.07\00:18:28.57
are those entities in the
heavens that God intends for us
00:18:28.61\00:18:32.21
to look at and remind us of
His creative power and the 7th
00:18:32.24\00:18:35.81
day Sabbath and
memorial of creation.
00:18:35.84\00:18:39.04
Surely these nebulae and
galaxies are truly telling
00:18:39.14\00:18:41.72
us something of vast importance.
00:18:41.75\00:18:44.42
That's right, we want to
look at an illustration now
00:18:44.76\00:18:47.53
that I just mentioned
briefly a second ago, called the
00:18:47.57\00:18:50.31
Hubble Ultra Deep Field.
00:18:50.34\00:18:52.00
And basically, this is a series
of time lapsed photographs
00:18:52.34\00:18:57.57
taken by the
Hubble Space Telescope.
00:18:57.60\00:18:59.48
Each time it orbited the Earth,
it would come back to a certain
00:18:59.75\00:19:03.36
point and open it's shutter
briefly and capture another
00:19:03.39\00:19:06.70
look at a
particular point in the sky.
00:19:06.73\00:19:09.53
This point in the sky that
it would look at would just be
00:19:09.57\00:19:12.23
the size of a pinhead.
00:19:12.26\00:19:14.00
If you took your hand
out in front of your face
00:19:14.04\00:19:18.25
and projected it against
the sky, just the very tip
00:19:20.05\00:19:22.67
of your finger, projected
in the blackest part of the sky
00:19:22.71\00:19:25.79
you can find, that's what
they were focusing the Hubble
00:19:25.83\00:19:28.84
Space Telescope on, and look at
what they saw when they looked
00:19:28.88\00:19:33.56
where utter
blackness was otherwise.
00:19:33.74\00:19:36.17
In time-lapse photography you
can see that everywhere you can
00:19:36.21\00:19:39.85
see in the Universe, no matter
how black it may appear, if you
00:19:39.88\00:19:43.70
open the camera shutter long
enough, this is what you'll see.
00:19:44.10\00:19:47.97
Unlimited numbers of galaxies,
and it's from this picture
00:19:48.51\00:19:52.15
that the estimate of the
galaxies in the Universe,
00:19:52.28\00:19:55.24
100 billion trillion
galaxies, each one of those
00:19:55.28\00:19:58.15
galaxies having 100's
of billions of stars each,
00:19:58.18\00:20:00.98
you can begin to understand
the magnitude of the size
00:20:01.02\00:20:05.86
of the universewhen
you look at these pictures,
00:20:05.89\00:20:08.51
but essentially, we want to
go in just a little more detail
00:20:09.58\00:20:13.93
with the next graphic.
00:20:14.00\00:20:15.85
We can see that in some
cases, the little green circles
00:20:15.89\00:20:18.92
that have been drawn
around some of those galaxies,
00:20:18.96\00:20:21.96
if you actually blow up
the picture large enough,
00:20:22.31\00:20:24.83
you can see that the galaxies
that those green circles
00:20:24.87\00:20:27.40
are drawn around appear red.
00:20:27.43\00:20:29.71
Now these galaxies represent
some of the most distant
00:20:29.75\00:20:32.61
galaxies ever recorded
by any human instrument,
00:20:32.64\00:20:36.63
but what is the significance
of these galaxies appearing red?
00:20:36.91\00:20:40.58
Well, it's interesting.
They appear red because of a
00:20:40.94\00:20:44.17
special phenomena we believe
called the Doppler Shift.
00:20:44.21\00:20:48.12
An object receding away from
a source will appear more red
00:20:48.15\00:20:51.48
if it's emitting a light,
and that's exactly what we think
00:20:51.52\00:20:54.82
is happening in that
Hubble Ultra Deep Field.
00:20:54.85\00:20:57.37
The galaxies furthest
from the Earth are receding
00:20:57.47\00:21:00.45
from the Earth at a
great speed, so much so
00:21:00.48\00:21:03.05
that their light spectra,
as recorded by the telescope,
00:21:03.09\00:21:06.21
has actually shifted towards
the red end of the spectrum.
00:21:06.24\00:21:09.33
Now if you're in a room
somewhere and you see everybody
00:21:09.54\00:21:12.71
rushing away from you,
what would you assume about
00:21:12.74\00:21:15.40
your position in that room.
00:21:15.43\00:21:17.77
Well, you might think a
couple of things, but what I'm
00:21:17.94\00:21:20.88
trying to get you to actually
think about here, is that you're
00:21:20.92\00:21:23.94
at the center of an expansion.
00:21:23.97\00:21:26.50
And that's what we think
is happening here, when we see
00:21:26.75\00:21:29.41
the Hubble Ultra Deep
Field pointed out here, we see
00:21:30.67\00:21:33.61
galaxies rushing
away from the Earth.
00:21:33.91\00:21:36.16
We believe that the Earth
is actually close to the center
00:21:36.20\00:21:40.26
of an expansion,
the expanding Universe.
00:21:40.52\00:21:43.69
Yes, that's true, and in order
to get a better handle on that,
00:21:44.44\00:21:48.21
we want to say that this is
part of, we believe the cosmic
00:21:48.24\00:21:51.98
code of the Universe, the
10 commandment cosmic code.
00:21:52.01\00:21:54.95
God is trying to help us
understand that He created
00:21:54.99\00:21:57.86
the universein a particular
way to point to His throne.
00:21:57.90\00:22:01.43
So if we go now to Hubble
himself, we find in the 1920's
00:22:01.53\00:22:06.23
Hubble was using the Mt. Wilson
Telescope and as he did that
00:22:06.26\00:22:10.45
he was finding some very unusual
features of the Universe.
00:22:10.48\00:22:14.64
There he is. We
go to the next slide,
00:22:14.67\00:22:16.91
we find there that as we have
a star and there are particles
00:22:17.09\00:22:21.14
revolving around this hot star,
and there are particles coming
00:22:21.54\00:22:24.28
towards the Earth, and there
are particles going away from
00:22:24.31\00:22:27.51
the Earth as it circles the
star, the light coming to us
00:22:27.55\00:22:30.72
is blue shifted, the
particles going away from us
00:22:30.75\00:22:34.45
are red shifted, and
that's the meaning then of
00:22:34.65\00:22:36.73
the Doppler Effect, something
going away from you is going
00:22:36.77\00:22:39.10
to have a red shift,
something coming towards you
00:22:39.13\00:22:40.83
is going to give a blue shift
and so, as a result of that
00:22:40.87\00:22:44.94
we find on the next slide, that
the relationship that the Hubble
00:22:45.10\00:22:49.95
found is...
00:22:49.98\00:22:51.82
...It's the red shift relation.
Basically, wherever Hubble
00:22:52.36\00:22:55.86
pointed his telescope, he saw
galaxies moving away from him,
00:22:55.90\00:22:58.99
more red shift. And he not
only saw that, but he noticed
00:22:59.03\00:23:02.09
a certain,
particular thing about that.
00:23:02.12\00:23:04.08
He noticed that the galaxies
that were the most red shifted
00:23:04.12\00:23:07.13
were also the galaxies that were
furthest away from the Earth.
00:23:07.33\00:23:10.56
So then he concluded
the famous Hubble relation,
00:23:10.59\00:23:13.35
the relationship
that the further a galaxy
00:23:13.38\00:23:15.40
is away from the Earth, the more
you would expect it's spectral
00:23:15.44\00:23:19.91
lines to be shifted to the red.
00:23:19.94\00:23:22.50
By conclusion you would assume
that that galaxy is actually
00:23:23.39\00:23:27.31
moving faster, the
more the red shift,
00:23:27.34\00:23:29.72
the faster the
velocity of the galaxy itself.
00:23:29.76\00:23:33.22
Now, I think it's
important to note that
00:23:33.41\00:23:36.53
Hubble, the man, the astronomer
that we've been talking about,
00:23:37.40\00:23:41.07
is the astronomer which
the Hubble Space Telescope
00:23:41.17\00:23:44.15
is named after. He's a very
important figure in astronomy.
00:23:44.19\00:23:48.07
Let's look at that last
slide just a minute more,
00:23:50.60\00:23:53.27
if we can have it
back on the screen, please.
00:23:53.31\00:23:55.95
We want to make sure that
we understand that, basically,
00:23:56.03\00:23:58.86
the observations that are
being made on the Universe
00:23:58.89\00:24:01.65
are being made here on Earth,
and what David is saying is
00:24:01.69\00:24:05.04
the length of those arrows
arrows represents the speed
00:24:05.07\00:24:08.39
of the galaxies moving away from
us, except that instead of being
00:24:08.49\00:24:12.13
just 2 dimensional, it's 3
dimensional, and the reddening
00:24:12.16\00:24:16.03
at the end of the arrows,
as you can see, shows that
00:24:16.06\00:24:18.43
the light was red shifted,
and the length of the arrows
00:24:18.46\00:24:20.76
shows they're really speeding
away from us far more rapidly.
00:24:20.80\00:24:24.39
So, the question is though,
what framework did Hubble use
00:24:24.64\00:24:29.48
in interpreting this data?
00:24:29.51\00:24:31.37
He decided that instead of
assuming that the Earth occupied
00:24:32.23\00:24:36.14
a special position in
the Universe, as a result
00:24:36.17\00:24:38.83
of his interpretations or as
a result of his observations,
00:24:38.87\00:24:42.46
he made another interpretation,
but the interpretation that
00:24:43.13\00:24:46.66
seemed most obvious would be
a simple interpretation of the
00:24:46.69\00:24:49.95
Doppler interpretation, the fact
that if everything is moving
00:24:49.99\00:24:53.32
away from you, then you must be
at the center of an expansion.
00:24:53.36\00:24:56.66
Why would that be important?
00:24:56.69\00:24:58.32
Well it's important to us
because we've been postulating
00:24:58.36\00:25:02.22
that Earth, or something near
the Earth has a special position
00:25:02.32\00:25:09.45
in the Universe.
00:25:09.48\00:25:10.60
Remember the great white
throne in Revelation 20:11
00:25:10.64\00:25:14.72
that we believe does exist,
perhaps that is a reference
00:25:14.76\00:25:18.40
point that we can point to
and look at when we think about
00:25:18.43\00:25:22.04
how the Universe is structured.
00:25:22.66\00:25:24.71
So what did Hubble have
to say when he was confronted
00:25:25.19\00:25:28.29
with this very strong evidence
that we were in a special place
00:25:28.33\00:25:32.48
in the Universe, what
was his comment about that?
00:25:32.51\00:25:35.01
Well, Hubble had some
interesting comments to make
00:25:35.05\00:25:37.52
in a book that he wrote
00:25:37.55\00:25:39.13
Observational
Approach to Cosmology.
00:25:39.17\00:25:41.41
And in this book he outlines
some very telling evidences
00:25:41.73\00:25:46.67
about what he did not
want his data to be used for.
00:25:46.70\00:25:51.22
Essentially he says, a
quote from his book, he says:
00:25:51.25\00:25:55.74
"The unwelcome supposition of
a favored location" - a favored
00:25:56.07\00:25:59.97
location of the Earth -
"must be avoided at all cost."
00:26:00.00\00:26:03.95
"It's intolerable."
00:26:03.98\00:26:06.07
And he said in another part
of his book: "We need to escape"
00:26:06.43\00:26:10.57
"the horror of a
unique position".
00:26:10.60\00:26:14.27
And in another page, on
page 55 of his book, he says:
00:26:14.56\00:26:17.88
"There must be no favored
location in the Universe,"
00:26:17.92\00:26:21.21
"no center, no boundary.
All must see the universealike."
00:26:21.41\00:26:27.35
What was it about what Hubble
was saying, why didn't he want
00:26:27.88\00:26:31.71
to interpret his data so that
there would be a reference point
00:26:31.74\00:26:35.54
in the Universe?
00:26:35.57\00:26:37.06
Well, that is a very very
cognizant question for us all.
00:26:37.32\00:26:40.97
Here is a man, a world famous
scientist who made a world
00:26:41.01\00:26:44.21
famous discovery and now
he's coming in and saying the
00:26:44.24\00:26:47.37
obvious interpretation of that
discovery is such that he's not
00:26:47.41\00:26:51.41
going to stand for a universal
center, it's going to be
00:26:51.44\00:26:56.00
intolerable to think about that.
00:26:56.03\00:26:58.07
What did he do, he and others,
in order to try to get rid
00:26:58.11\00:27:02.00
of the center? Let's
look at the next slide.
00:27:02.03\00:27:04.22
They invented something, it was
an idea, it was an invention.
00:27:05.41\00:27:09.25
They said: "Well, maybe we have
the following. Maybe the space"
00:27:09.61\00:27:12.51
"is such that space is
expanding. A box yesterday"
00:27:12.54\00:27:16.02
"would be smaller than it is
today, and tomorrow it's going"
00:27:16.06\00:27:18.41
"to have a larger volume than
it does today." And if you go
00:27:18.44\00:27:20.76
back in time, as you can
see from this schematic here,
00:27:20.79\00:27:23.69
the box, there on the
left, you see those little
00:27:23.91\00:27:27.43
bulbs there, yellow
bulbs, those represent galaxies,
00:27:27.47\00:27:30.96
well supposedly, if the Universe
government by this invention,
00:27:31.14\00:27:34.17
this space time expansion,
volume is going to expand,
00:27:34.20\00:27:37.39
so in a year or 2 the
volume is going to be bigger,
00:27:37.49\00:27:39.49
and therefore the galaxies
are supposedly spreading out.
00:27:39.53\00:27:42.24
Then in the third box
you can see that supposedly,
00:27:42.34\00:27:44.76
the galaxies themselves,
the box has expanded,
00:27:44.79\00:27:47.14
space has expanded and you've
got the galaxies moving away
00:27:47.18\00:27:50.04
from each other, so the
idea was that they were trying
00:27:50.07\00:27:52.86
to punctuate at that particular
time that indeed, the red shift
00:27:52.90\00:27:56.83
that Hubble was seeing
through his telescope, he said,
00:27:56.86\00:27:59.81
and others said no matter where
you are in the Universe, you're
00:27:59.85\00:28:02.99
going to see the same thing:
all the galaxies moving away
00:28:03.02\00:28:05.89
from each other, no
reference point whatsoever,
00:28:05.92\00:28:10.23
none whatsoever,
no special point.
00:28:10.42\00:28:11.98
But if you look at the next
slide, the real truth is very,
00:28:12.02\00:28:15.39
very simple to understand
from this next schematic.
00:28:15.42\00:28:17.97
This is the way they
pictured it, they said:
00:28:19.51\00:28:21.91
"We're going to have expansion.
We're going to put pennies"
00:28:21.95\00:28:24.22
"on a balloon and we're
going to expand the balloon."
00:28:24.25\00:28:26.17
"And so therefore the pennies
will move apart, the galaxies"
00:28:26.27\00:28:29.32
"are going to move
apart at the same time."
00:28:29.35\00:28:30.97
There's a huge flaw in
this however, which David and I
00:28:31.01\00:28:33.81
have reported scientifically,
and that's focally in the
00:28:33.85\00:28:36.62
next slide.
00:28:36.65\00:28:38.24
That is: if you had a projector
and you put an image there
00:28:39.49\00:28:43.15
before the projector and let
it show on the screen nearby,
00:28:43.19\00:28:46.82
you see the two galaxies
there, but if you let it project
00:28:46.96\00:28:50.63
on a screen further
away, what's going to happen?
00:28:50.66\00:28:53.49
You see not only do
the, "galaxies" move apart,
00:28:53.67\00:28:56.09
the images move apart, but now
the galaxies themselves expand
00:28:56.13\00:28:59.37
to almost nothing, so the
bottom line is that if expansion
00:28:59.41\00:29:02.58
really, truly was, in fact
if it really existed at all,
00:29:02.61\00:29:05.75
everything would have expanded
away from everything else
00:29:06.15\00:29:08.34
to begin with, there
never would have been
00:29:08.37\00:29:10.29
any galaxies whatsoever.
00:29:10.32\00:29:12.18
Now that's the simple
way of looking at it, with a
00:29:12.25\00:29:14.27
simple illustration.
00:29:14.30\00:29:15.68
David and I have also published
a scientific paper showing
00:29:15.72\00:29:18.83
that indeed this defect,
this mathematical defect in this
00:29:18.87\00:29:21.95
whole idea of expansion.
00:29:21.98\00:29:24.02
There's an important
point here to try to get across,
00:29:24.28\00:29:26.64
and it's kind of hard to do
that in just 30 minutes, but you
00:29:26.68\00:29:30.47
have to think that the
kind of expansion that Hubble
00:29:30.50\00:29:34.81
was proposing is a different
kind of expansion then what
00:29:34.85\00:29:39.13
we are saying is
really occurring.
00:29:39.33\00:29:41.83
We believe that there is
an expansion, or a movement,
00:29:41.93\00:29:45.38
of the galaxies
out from our galaxy,
00:29:45.41\00:29:48.38
that's what the red shift is.
But Hubble didn't stop there,
00:29:48.75\00:29:53.21
he said there's not just a
physical expansion of galaxies
00:29:53.24\00:29:56.98
moving away from each other,
what we have here in operation
00:29:57.02\00:30:01.36
is actually an expansion of
the fabric of space time itself.
00:30:01.40\00:30:05.71
Don't think too hard about that,
just imagine that it's some
00:30:06.55\00:30:10.39
nebulous concept where
the space itself is expanding,
00:30:10.74\00:30:15.34
the actual photons,
the wavelength of light
00:30:15.37\00:30:17.80
as it's traversing through
interstellar space is actually
00:30:17.84\00:30:20.86
stretching out,
becoming more red.
00:30:21.06\00:30:23.79
It's a theoretical construct
invented to try to get away
00:30:23.83\00:30:28.70
from a natural symmetry
that you would expect to find
00:30:28.83\00:30:33.58
by interpreting
the Hubble Relation
00:30:33.92\00:30:37.14
in a common sense fashion,
that's about the best I can
00:30:37.29\00:30:41.28
put it.
00:30:41.31\00:30:42.33
The problem with this is that
in Hubble's theory where you
00:30:42.52\00:30:46.16
have space-time expansion where
the space itself is expanding,
00:30:46.20\00:30:49.81
galaxies would never have
formed, now that goes utterly
00:30:50.47\00:30:55.12
against all observational
cosmology, astronomy.
00:30:55.32\00:30:59.77
Galaxies are everywhere.
00:30:59.80\00:31:01.69
And because galaxies are
everywhere, that in and of
00:31:01.79\00:31:05.54
itself should disprove
what Hubble was trying to prove,
00:31:05.58\00:31:09.30
or trying to postulate by saying
that saying that space time
00:31:09.62\00:31:12.24
was expanding with no
reference point whatsoever.
00:31:12.58\00:31:16.47
Doesn't our next slide show,
indeed, that we have galaxies,
00:31:16.59\00:31:21.49
and galaxies, and galaxies.
00:31:21.52\00:31:23.90
Hundreds and billions
of galaxies throughout
00:31:24.13\00:31:26.06
the Universe.
How long did it take
00:31:26.09\00:31:27.79
for those galaxies to
form? According to the Big Bang
00:31:27.83\00:31:30.44
theory it took billions and
billions and billions of years
00:31:30.48\00:31:33.19
for those galaxies to form.
00:31:33.22\00:31:34.97
According to the
Bible, what does the Bible say
00:31:35.01\00:31:36.75
about God's creation?
00:31:36.78\00:31:38.15
Psalm 33:6 and 9 says:
"By the word of the Lord"
00:31:38.35\00:31:40.94
"were the heavens made;
and all the host of them"
00:31:40.97\00:31:43.49
"by the breath of His mouth.
For He spake, and it was done;"
00:31:43.53\00:31:46.15
"He commanded,
and it stood fast."
00:31:46.34\00:31:47.96
There's actually a statement
in the Spirit of Prophecy
00:31:48.09\00:31:50.61
that says if all the heavens
were basically blanked out,
00:31:50.65\00:31:53.10
washed away, God would call them
again into existence in a moment
00:31:53.14\00:31:57.06
of time.
00:31:57.09\00:31:58.09
Again, if you take Hubble's
data, the red shift data,
00:31:58.13\00:32:02.82
and you make a common
sense conclusion out of it,
00:32:03.02\00:32:05.52
that conclusion is that we
are close to, astronomically
00:32:05.56\00:32:08.79
speaking, the
center of the Universe.
00:32:08.82\00:32:11.26
The thing that we want
to focus on here though,
00:32:13.27\00:32:16.63
is that in this model that
we have, it's a model where
00:32:16.97\00:32:21.39
the universeis expanding
out, we're close to the center,
00:32:21.43\00:32:25.82
we want to relate what we
see in science to what we read
00:32:26.41\00:32:30.30
in the Bible. Now
that's something that
00:32:30.33\00:32:32.12
most scientists can't do because
they believe that you can't
00:32:32.16\00:32:36.67
mix science and the
Bible, they say you have to keep
00:32:36.70\00:32:40.27
religion and science separate,
but we believe that you can
00:32:40.31\00:32:43.08
actually find harmony
in science and the Bible.
00:32:43.11\00:32:47.25
That Revelation
20:11, when it says
00:32:47.28\00:32:49.82
"And I saw a great white throne"
00:32:49.85\00:32:52.36
that that white throne actually
occupies a physical place
00:32:52.50\00:32:56.51
in the Universe, and we believe
that that place just might be,
00:32:56.55\00:33:01.58
in our opinion, the
center of the expansion itself.
00:33:01.70\00:33:05.77
You know, some of you may
ask, if we're talking about
00:33:06.19\00:33:08.42
the center, we're talking
about Hubble and so forth,
00:33:08.46\00:33:10.66
you might say: "Isn't
there any other astronomer"
00:33:10.86\00:33:12.78
"in the world that's
ever mentioned the center"
00:33:12.82\00:33:14.67
"of the Universe, and what
do they have to say about it?"
00:33:14.71\00:33:16.64
In fact there is: Stephen
Hawking, one of the world's
00:33:16.74\00:33:19.15
most famous scientist wrote his
book "A brief history of time",
00:33:19.19\00:33:22.90
guess what he said on
page 42, this is quoting:
00:33:23.18\00:33:26.55
"It might seem that if we
observe all of the galaxies"
00:33:26.71\00:33:29.87
"to be moving away from us,
then we must be at the center"
00:33:29.91\00:33:33.04
"of the Universe.
There is however,"
00:33:33.07\00:33:35.25
"an alternate explanation,
the universemight look the same"
00:33:35.29\00:33:38.51
"whichever direction is
seen from any other galaxy."
00:33:38.54\00:33:41.27
This was Friedman's second
assumption, Hubble's second
00:33:41.31\00:33:44.06
assumption as well.
00:33:44.09\00:33:45.38
We have no scientific evidence
for or against this assumption,
00:33:45.42\00:33:48.92
we believe it only on
the grounds of modesty.
00:33:49.06\00:33:51.96
So there you have, Stephen
Hawking comes out and he says:
00:33:52.00\00:33:55.72
Okay, it does look like using
the red shift data the Earth
00:33:55.85\00:33:59.01
could be at the center of
the Universe, but we don't want
00:33:59.04\00:34:02.17
to accept that
because of modesty.
00:34:02.20\00:34:04.80
Our question is that do we
want to use modesty as the basis
00:34:04.90\00:34:09.95
of our interpretation of the
scientific data, or do we want
00:34:10.10\00:34:13.31
to just look at the scientific
data and draw a common
00:34:13.34\00:34:16.24
sense conclusion,
that's the question.
00:34:16.27\00:34:19.20
That common sense conclusion
if based on verifiable
00:34:19.24\00:34:22.06
interpretation of the red shift
which is the Doppler effect,
00:34:22.10\00:34:25.11
that's what we're saying
is used here, and you do that
00:34:25.14\00:34:27.42
you come out with
this nearby center.
00:34:27.52\00:34:29.27
So why would Hubble and why
would Hawking, and why the other
00:34:29.40\00:34:32.63
modern astronomers since the
day's of Hubble, why are they
00:34:32.67\00:34:35.87
fighting against this
center of the Universe?
00:34:35.90\00:34:38.39
Maybe it's due to the fact
that hundreds of years ago,
00:34:38.51\00:34:41.40
we all know about Napoleon
Bonaparte, Napoleon had a very
00:34:41.64\00:34:45.43
very famous friend who
was the French Mathematician,
00:34:45.46\00:34:48.50
Simon Laplace, he had
written a very famous book:
00:34:48.53\00:34:51.54
"Celestial
Mechanics", a huge volume.
00:34:51.66\00:34:54.87
And one day after Napoleon
Bonaparte had read the book,
00:34:54.90\00:34:59.00
he went to Laplace and he said:
"I've read your book, you've"
00:34:59.04\00:35:01.80
"got all these equations, you
explained the planetary motions"
00:35:01.83\00:35:04.56
"of all the planets,
all's well and fine and good,"
00:35:04.59\00:35:07.06
"but where's God, I
don't see you mentioning God."
00:35:07.09\00:35:09.53
Laplace said: "I have no
need of that hypothesis."
00:35:09.57\00:35:13.45
That started the
downward spiral of astronomy.
00:35:13.58\00:35:16.26
From that day on, many
astronomers who feel they didn't
00:35:16.30\00:35:18.72
have any relationship at
all with God, didn't want
00:35:18.75\00:35:20.81
the 10 commandments,
didn't want to obey the God
00:35:20.85\00:35:22.84
of the Bible, they felt
like they could exclude God from
00:35:22.88\00:35:26.45
the universeand
miss the interpretations,
00:35:26.48\00:35:30.01
the interpretations
that do speak of God.
00:35:30.04\00:35:33.54
So, let's look at Isaiah
44:24, it tells us something
00:35:33.66\00:35:37.91
about what we're talking about
from the Biblical perspective.
00:35:37.95\00:35:41.84
[text on screen]
00:35:41.87\00:35:43.67
Very very quickly, we remember
that when Moses was there
00:35:46.57\00:35:49.28
at the burning
bush, and he asked God:
00:35:49.31\00:35:50.98
"Who shall You say sent me?
00:35:51.13\00:35:54.70
And what was the
answer? "I am that I am."
00:35:54.78\00:35:57.15
The Old Testament name
of God was given to Moses.
00:35:57.19\00:36:00.97
"I am" is the Lord
who made all things.
00:36:01.00\00:36:03.43
Then in the New Testament we
find that when Jesus was arguing
00:36:03.63\00:36:05.97
with the scribes and Pharisees.
00:36:06.00\00:36:07.47
John 8, He said at the very
end of it: Abraham saw my day
00:36:09.61\00:36:13.07
and he was glad. And
they said: You're not yet
00:36:13.10\00:36:14.74
50 years old and
have you seen Abraham?
00:36:14.77\00:36:16.76
Jesus said before
Abraham was, I am.
00:36:17.09\00:36:20.55
That's what we're talking
about today, the great "I am"
00:36:20.59\00:36:23.12
who created the Universe,
the great I am who gave the
00:36:23.16\00:36:25.66
10 commandments to Moses,
the great I am who actually
00:36:25.76\00:36:28.48
formatted the universein such
a way as to affirm that He is
00:36:28.52\00:36:32.18
the creator, the
author of the 10 commandments.
00:36:32.21\00:36:35.27
So, the truth then as we
look at the Universe, we have
00:36:35.42\00:36:38.05
a schematic here that
shows very briefly what we're
00:36:38.08\00:36:40.75
getting at in terms of
the motion of the galaxies
00:36:40.78\00:36:43.42
away from a nearby point.
00:36:43.62\00:36:45.94
That schematic is
simply as follows,
00:36:49.14\00:36:51.39
David help me out a little
bit on the lower axis here
00:36:51.43\00:36:54.13
to the right, we have what?
00:36:54.16\00:36:56.03
The increasing distance.
00:36:56.06\00:36:57.90
And the vertical axis we have.
00:36:58.02\00:37:00.13
Increasing red shift.
00:37:00.16\00:37:01.41
And those circles
that are moving out along.
00:37:01.45\00:37:03.95
Those are depictions of
galaxies, obviously you can see
00:37:04.26\00:37:06.90
the greater the distance as you
go out, the more the red shift,
00:37:06.94\00:37:10.70
that's what we were
talking about earlier,
00:37:10.73\00:37:13.96
that was Hubble's
finding back in 1929.
00:37:13.99\00:37:17.19
Now you also see that
green outer band there,
00:37:17.62\00:37:20.95
and it says something
about the pre-Genesis galaxies.
00:37:20.99\00:37:24.43
Well, if you want to read
about that after we get through,
00:37:24.57\00:37:28.22
you'll have to go to our
website, I've got a long long
00:37:28.32\00:37:30.52
discussion about that.
00:37:30.55\00:37:32.13
Psalm 68:32 talks
about the ancient heavens.
00:37:32.33\00:37:39.46
The Heavens of the old.
00:37:39.49\00:37:40.72
We're dealing now with the
visible Universe, a Universe
00:37:41.44\00:37:44.76
that was created during
creation week, then we go to
00:37:44.80\00:37:47.81
the logical conclusion
that God creation the Universe
00:37:47.85\00:37:51.05
to reveal this nearby
center, to reveal, we believe,
00:37:51.09\00:37:54.26
the presence, the nearness
to the actual throne of God,
00:37:54.36\00:37:57.72
the great command center of the
universeis located even within,
00:37:57.76\00:38:01.79
probably our own galaxy.
00:38:01.82\00:38:03.89
So, David how does that fit
with another verse in the Bible?
00:38:03.93\00:38:08.47
Well it fits perfectly with
what we read in Isaiah 40:26
00:38:08.50\00:38:13.01
[text on screen]
00:38:13.04\00:38:14.79
I think it's interesting to
note that God numbers and names
00:38:28.60\00:38:33.46
every one of these galaxies
and every one of the stars
00:38:33.72\00:38:39.23
within those galaxies, not
one of them is lost from His
00:38:39.36\00:38:43.81
mind or memory.
00:38:43.84\00:38:45.50
Also David, from what
you just ready it says:
00:38:45.83\00:38:48.78
"Life up your eyes
and look to the heavens,"
00:38:48.81\00:38:51.69
"who created all these."
You see, the whole purpose
00:38:51.73\00:38:54.29
of what we're saying today is,
that God indeed wants us to look
00:38:54.33\00:38:57.69
to the heavens and
remember that in calling these
00:38:57.72\00:39:01.23
into existence during
creation week, day 4, yes,
00:39:01.27\00:39:04.75
that we are to remind ourselves
of the 7th day Sabbath.
00:39:04.87\00:39:08.36
Remember a few minutes ago when
we showed all these beautiful
00:39:08.53\00:39:10.94
galaxies and nebulae
and so forth, then we saw
00:39:10.97\00:39:13.02
the Hubble Deep Field; vast,
vast distances to the outer
00:39:13.06\00:39:17.32
reaches of the Universe,
00:39:17.35\00:39:19.11
what does Psalm 103 say, that
indeed, the heavens are what?
00:39:19.14\00:39:24.15
Higher than the Earth.
00:39:24.18\00:39:25.66
My thoughts are
higher than your thoughts.
00:39:25.70\00:39:27.13
The heavens are higher
than the Earth, that indeed,
00:39:27.17\00:39:29.38
My great love is as high as
the heavens are from the Earth.
00:39:29.42\00:39:33.58
So we should understand
that as we see the vast
00:39:33.61\00:39:36.34
distances of the universeand
see the galaxies, God is
00:39:36.38\00:39:38.84
trying to help us to understand
that his love is even higher
00:39:38.88\00:39:41.71
towards us than the
distance to these vast galaxies.
00:39:41.74\00:39:45.46
So, as we look at this then,
the actual distances themselves
00:39:45.79\00:39:51.02
and so forth, the
question is, if God has chosen
00:39:51.05\00:39:55.05
the astronomical evidence of His
dwelling place in the heavens,
00:39:55.09\00:39:57.60
did He also, David,
begin in these last days
00:39:57.85\00:40:01.21
to provide something
special, really special for us?
00:40:01.62\00:40:04.89
Well, it's interesting.
Before proposing to you today
00:40:05.14\00:40:08.45
that there might be, and
that there is, a special place
00:40:08.88\00:40:12.29
in the Universe, a center,
and if that center is not
00:40:12.32\00:40:16.79
located on the Earth,
perhaps we might have some clue
00:40:16.83\00:40:21.27
somewhere of where that
center might be located.
00:40:21.37\00:40:24.03
Now we have no way of starting
this search, except by going
00:40:24.25\00:40:28.84
either to the Bible, or perhaps
maybe to the major news media.
00:40:28.87\00:40:33.43
What are the astronomers
themselves saying about
00:40:33.46\00:40:36.22
the Universe?
00:40:36.25\00:40:37.54
Our attention is drawn to a
particular new series of news
00:40:38.05\00:40:43.19
articles that started a long
time ago, but one of the most
00:40:43.22\00:40:48.33
prominent news article
that we're going to discuss,
00:40:48.36\00:40:51.08
is the one that was one
the cover of nature magazine
00:40:51.11\00:40:53.80
back in 1993.
00:40:53.83\00:40:55.91
It was a photograph of a very
special place in the heavens,
00:40:55.95\00:40:59.46
a very special place in the
nebula, the Great Nebula, Orion.
00:40:59.55\00:41:03.71
The Australian astronomers,
David Allan and Michel Burton
00:41:03.92\00:41:07.51
photographed this
very special place in
00:41:07.75\00:41:11.19
the Orion Nebula, and again,
took a long time to try to find
00:41:11.23\00:41:15.83
a name for this
particular structure.
00:41:15.86\00:41:20.58
They finally came to a
name, but in the process
00:41:21.08\00:41:26.10
this finding was actually
featured in the Nature magazine,
00:41:26.93\00:41:32.48
and it was also featured in the
Sydney Morning Herald newspaper
00:41:33.87\00:41:37.41
there in Australia, where
they quoted these astronomers
00:41:37.44\00:41:40.69
saying the quote: "Seeing
the hand of God was thrilling."
00:41:41.04\00:41:46.05
Well, you can imagine what they
ended up naming this structure.
00:41:46.27\00:41:50.12
They named it "The Hand of
God". So, we're just going to go
00:41:50.24\00:41:55.22
ahead and let the astronomers
of the world direct our
00:41:55.25\00:41:58.98
attention to the Hand of
God. The Hand of God is located
00:41:59.02\00:42:02.80
in the Great Orion Nebula.
Our attention is focused now
00:42:02.83\00:42:05.98
on the Great Orion Nebula.
Now we have some other reasons
00:42:06.02\00:42:09.14
to focus our attention
on that nebula as SDA's,
00:42:09.17\00:42:12.05
we're going to be
talking about those in a minute.
00:42:12.09\00:42:14.94
David, let's look at
this a little bit more.
00:42:15.14\00:42:16.71
The square up there to the
upper right is where the Hand
00:42:19.26\00:42:22.15
of God is, we can see in
the left hand frame, why it
00:42:22.18\00:42:24.89
resembles the hand, and
the fingers and so forth,
00:42:24.93\00:42:27.61
the box up there to the
upper right shows the position
00:42:27.77\00:42:31.13
of the Hand of God with
respect to the Trapezium.
00:42:31.16\00:42:36.33
Tell us what the Trapezium is.
00:42:39.86\00:42:41.48
Alright, those 4 stars
there, we're going to see them
00:42:41.52\00:42:43.65
in greater depth and greater
clarity in just a few minutes,
00:42:43.69\00:42:47.30
but something unusual, the
Hand of God actually there,
00:42:47.48\00:42:50.35
photographed, and these
astronomers were not Christians.
00:42:50.45\00:42:53.70
They were not believers
at all. So let's go on now,
00:42:53.73\00:42:56.75
what is really most interesting
about this discovery is
00:42:57.44\00:43:00.85
there was a friend of mine,
Dr. John Eisley, who worked at
00:43:00.95\00:43:03.80
the US Naval Research
Laboratory in the 1980's,
00:43:03.83\00:43:07.42
and he was attracted to
Orion, and I want to read
00:43:08.00\00:43:12.21
some of the things that
John Eisley wrote in his book
00:43:12.41\00:43:15.21
"Marvels and Mysteries of
Orion", listen to what he said:
00:43:15.31\00:43:18.69
"In my opinion, God is
deliberately attracting our"
00:43:19.03\00:43:21.58
"attention to the
direction of Orion"
00:43:21.61\00:43:24.45
"and the Great Orion
Nebula, that wonderful place"
00:43:24.49\00:43:28.06
"that has fascinated astronomers
for hundreds of years."
00:43:28.32\00:43:31.53
"It commands our
serious interest and study."
00:43:32.17\00:43:34.89
"I believe it is a unique
and important training ground"
00:43:34.93\00:43:37.27
"for spiritual, as
well as physical truth."
00:43:37.30\00:43:39.53
Remember now, this
was written in 1988.
00:43:39.57\00:43:41.77
"At the present time,
the scientific community was"
00:43:42.54\00:43:44.41
"conducting most intensive study
of Orion, by using the latest"
00:43:44.45\00:43:47.39
"equipment in space, represented
a very large investment"
00:43:47.42\00:43:50.14
"of human effort, and I strongly
believe the Holy Spirit"
00:43:50.17\00:43:53.10
"is leading out here. It
is therefore not unreasonable"
00:43:53.14\00:43:56.48
"to expect," - 1988-
"the obvious when it happens."
00:43:56.52\00:43:59.79
"I think in many subtle ways,
God is attracting the whole"
00:43:59.83\00:44:02.42
"world's attention to this
direction in the sky that He's"
00:44:02.46\00:44:06.02
"using modern secular science
as an indisputable witness."
00:44:06.06\00:44:09.59
"There's abundant evidence
that something very special"
00:44:09.73\00:44:12.05
"is happening there in
Orion, and it's surroundings"
00:44:12.09\00:44:14.34
"will be constantly monitored
for the next several decades."
00:44:14.38\00:44:16.83
Therefore people on Earth should
not be surprised by future"
00:44:16.95\00:44:20.51
"discoveries when they
do occur." published 1988.
00:44:20.54\00:44:24.24
The Hand of God
discovery was made in 1993,
00:44:24.41\00:44:28.07
but is there a reason why
John Eisley would write these
00:44:28.20\00:44:31.65
particular words,
and the answer is "Yes!"
00:44:31.68\00:44:33.92
John Eisley was an SDA, and [?],
00:44:33.95\00:44:36.27
a very faithful Seventh
Day Adventist, and he read many
00:44:36.31\00:44:39.22
books written by people
who were SDA's, some of which
00:44:39.26\00:44:42.28
were written by Mrs. Ellen
G. White, who a lot of people
00:44:42.32\00:44:45.31
believe had the
gift of prophecy.
00:44:45.34\00:44:47.29
She wrote a book back in
1848, and David, do you want
00:44:47.33\00:44:51.73
to tell us little
about what we find there.
00:44:51.76\00:44:54.28
Right. Of course, we
don't expect people who are not
00:44:54.32\00:44:57.87
Adventist to necessarily be
impressed by what Ellen White
00:44:57.91\00:45:02.42
has written, but
it's at least interesting,
00:45:02.45\00:45:05.09
it's at least interesting
that what she says here
00:45:05.13\00:45:07.72
is going to relate very
specifically to what modern
00:45:08.10\00:45:12.05
astronomers are now
describing when they talk about
00:45:12.09\00:45:16.01
the Great Orion Nebula
and specifically on page 41
00:45:16.14\00:45:20.95
of this book "Early
Writings", from 1848, she writes
00:45:20.98\00:45:25.76
the following, she
says: "Dark, heavy clouds",
00:45:25.79\00:45:29.17
and now she's talking
about the time of Earth history
00:45:29.47\00:45:32.55
when we're at the very end
of the point, right before Jesus
00:45:32.59\00:45:37.75
comes back, she writes:
"Dark, heavy clouds came up"
00:45:37.78\00:45:41.23
"and clashed against each
other. The atmosphere parted"
00:45:41.27\00:45:44.69
"and rolled back. Then we
looked up through the open"
00:45:44.89\00:45:51.03
"space in Orion,
whence came the voice of God."
00:45:51.06\00:45:55.70
"The Holy City will come
down through that open space."
00:45:57.49\00:46:01.99
Well, we can see that
there are some very deep issues
00:46:02.91\00:46:05.94
dealt with here: dark,
heavy clouds, atmosphere parted,
00:46:06.04\00:46:09.45
the people of God looking
up through the open space,
00:46:09.59\00:46:12.50
and today we're only going
to deal with the open space
00:46:13.06\00:46:15.81
in Orion. John
Isely reasoned it was
00:46:15.84\00:46:18.16
somewhere in the trapezium
shown in the photograph there
00:46:18.20\00:46:20.84
that we were just looking at.
00:46:20.87\00:46:22.56
Recently, NASA has released a
new picture of Orion made up of
00:46:30.63\00:46:35.52
many many shots of the Orion
Nebula, and we want to focus
00:46:35.55\00:46:40.41
on these very
briefly at this present time
00:46:40.44\00:46:42.50
because of what the astronomers
themselves have to say
00:46:42.54\00:46:47.14
about the nebula.
00:46:47.45\00:46:49.43
Here's the one that has
been made a composite of,
00:46:51.12\00:46:54.34
and here's what's been
said by NASA scientists:
00:46:54.37\00:46:57.56
"The Nebula's out most
layers of gas and dust"
00:46:58.17\00:47:00.30
"appear as a grayish veil" -
you can see that to the left -
00:47:00.34\00:47:04.25
"that forms a prominent curve.
Descending in like the rim"
00:47:04.28\00:47:08.16
"of a giant card bowl.
Descending into the bowl"
00:47:08.19\00:47:10.61
"we encounter a plateau-like
region, the bright central"
00:47:10.65\00:47:13.41
"cavern takes us deeper yet.
It is the home of the 4 massive"
00:47:13.45\00:47:18.30
"stars in Orion, the
Trapezium. The light unleashed"
00:47:18.33\00:47:21.69
"by new stars is
carving a cavity around them."
00:47:21.72\00:47:25.02
"We say the
following," now this is on
00:47:25.46\00:47:27.06
an "stsci.eu" website,
it's saying in an amazing way
00:47:27.10\00:47:32.33
this description confirms
that Orion Nebula is accurately
00:47:32.37\00:47:36.30
characterized as having an
open space, and if that was
00:47:36.33\00:47:40.20
not enough, astronomers,
NASA astronomers have taken
00:47:40.24\00:47:43.60
the photographs of the Orion
Nebula, converted them into
00:47:43.63\00:47:46.91
their spatial frames and
this has led to the production
00:47:46.94\00:47:50.19
of a 3 dimensional view
of the nebula that proves
00:47:50.22\00:47:53.48
beyond doubt, that the Orion
Nebula does have an amazing
00:47:53.52\00:47:58.70
open space.
00:47:58.80\00:48:00.31
We're going to move very
very quickly now to the end
00:48:00.35\00:48:02.83
of the program.
Suppose, indeed, we want to go
00:48:02.86\00:48:05.36
finding out exactly what's
going to happen as we go through
00:48:05.76\00:48:08.56
the Orion Nebula, and
go to the throne of God.
00:48:08.59\00:48:12.03
Okay, as we're leaving
the Earth here, we see the Sun
00:48:12.06\00:48:15.48
to our right, and of
course, we will pass the Earth.
00:48:15.52\00:48:18.92
Now approaching the Sun,
and you can see the Orion Nebula
00:48:19.21\00:48:24.03
past the sun.
As we pass the Sun,
00:48:24.50\00:48:26.16
we're probably going about
100 times the speed of light
00:48:26.20\00:48:29.81
in this animation, and
approaching the Orion Nebula
00:48:29.84\00:48:33.38
in order for this to actually
be in real time, the individual
00:48:33.42\00:48:37.39
stars of the Orion Nebula
will be passing at different
00:48:37.42\00:48:40.33
times because they're
at different distances from
00:48:40.36\00:48:43.10
the Earth, but it's
actually in the sword of Orion,
00:48:43.14\00:48:45.85
the middle star
of the sword of Orion
00:48:45.88\00:48:48.57
that is the Orion Nebula,
we're approaching it here,
00:48:48.86\00:48:52.12
coming closer, coming closer.
00:48:52.80\00:48:55.02
The Orion Nebula is 1500
light years from the Earth.
00:48:55.12\00:48:58.84
That cavern that we were
just talking about is actually
00:48:58.87\00:49:02.56
100 light years wide.
00:49:02.59\00:49:04.73
You go into the center of that
cavern, we're circling around
00:49:05.02\00:49:08.40
the trapezium cluster
here, this is actually something
00:49:08.43\00:49:11.01
you can see with a home
telescope if you're interested
00:49:11.04\00:49:13.59
in looking at it, you
won't see the nebulosity,
00:49:13.62\00:49:16.10
but you will see the trapezium.
Going through the trapezium,
00:49:16.14\00:49:19.22
through,
continuing past the trapezium,
00:49:19.46\00:49:22.40
this is, of course, animation
depicting what it might
00:49:22.81\00:49:27.12
look like as we come to
the area that as Christians
00:49:27.22\00:49:33.29
we would call heaven, to the
throne, the city New Jerusalem
00:49:33.33\00:49:36.96
with the foundations of
precious stones, the gates
00:49:36.99\00:49:40.88
of pearl, approaching now to
the temple in the New Jerusalem.
00:49:40.92\00:49:47.17
The Sanctuary, and as we go
to the Sanctuary, what are we
00:49:48.86\00:49:51.85
going to end up
with? There is, indeed,
00:49:51.88\00:49:54.10
right before us,
Christ, the Great High Priest
00:49:54.14\00:49:56.72
and the 10 Commandments.
00:49:57.32\00:50:01.18
[Audience Claps]
00:50:01.21\00:50:03.52
You see, these are the great
fundamental beliefs that SDA's
00:50:05.20\00:50:08.18
began with 150 years
ago, that 4th commandment
00:50:08.21\00:50:11.44
is standing there, outside
of the Ark of the Testament,
00:50:11.48\00:50:14.55
Revelation 11:18: "I
looked and I saw the Temple"
00:50:14.80\00:50:18.19
"of the Tabernacle,
00:50:18.22\00:50:20.61
"and there was seen
the Ark of the Testament."
00:50:20.65\00:50:22.82
There is the original
set of the 10 commandments
00:50:22.85\00:50:24.99
right there in the
throne room of heaven.
00:50:25.14\00:50:27.41
It can't be changed, there's
no way that the Sabbath could
00:50:27.45\00:50:30.57
ever be made the Sunday, or
any other day, because there
00:50:30.61\00:50:33.70
it is, fixed right
before the throne of God.
00:50:33.73\00:50:36.62
Jesus Christ Himself,
the author of them all,
00:50:36.65\00:50:39.47
ministering before the Ark
of the Covenant, the Mercy Seat,
00:50:39.51\00:50:43.75
it's still there,
and guess what else.
00:50:43.78\00:50:45.95
Remember in the early part
of Revelation 1, John says:
00:50:45.99\00:50:49.50
"I was in the
Spirit on the Lord's day."
00:50:49.53\00:50:53.15
That's the first part of
the book of Revelation here,
00:50:53.19\00:50:56.13
and in Revelation 11:19 we
have the Ark of the Covenant.
00:50:56.16\00:50:59.07
Do we all understand
then, that the Lord's day and
00:50:59.10\00:51:01.97
the Ark of the Covenant in
Revelation 11:19 is the same
00:51:02.01\00:51:05.57
as the Lord's day
in Revelation 1:7.
00:51:05.67\00:51:08.72
There's no way that
anyone could call any day
00:51:08.76\00:51:11.00
"the Lord's day", except the
4th commandment's Sabbath day,
00:51:11.04\00:51:15.36
which is till fixed there,
in the center of the throne room
00:51:15.46\00:51:18.35
of heaven.
00:51:18.38\00:51:19.35
Christ, our Great High Priest,
00:51:19.38\00:51:21.12
God created the universeso
we could focus our attention,
00:51:21.69\00:51:24.52
astronomically, on the great
truths just before He comes back
00:51:24.55\00:51:27.35
again. David, after we're there
00:51:27.38\00:51:29.71
what's going to
happen in return?
00:51:29.87\00:51:32.50
Well, of course, Jesus at
the time of the second coming
00:51:32.77\00:51:36.31
will step out of the Most Holy
place, He'll take off the robe
00:51:36.49\00:51:41.99
that He has one, and
put on the kingly garments
00:51:42.02\00:51:45.00
and with His angels He
will begin to come to the Earth.
00:51:45.10\00:51:50.68
We have a little computer
animation which depicts what
00:51:50.71\00:51:56.26
that might look like.
00:51:56.29\00:51:57.27
Of course, Jesus
leaving the new Jerusalem there,
00:51:57.31\00:51:59.59
coming through the
open space in Orion,
00:52:00.84\00:52:04.53
coming through there,
there's the trapezium now,
00:52:06.98\00:52:10.15
as you exit Orion, that
great ball configuration
00:52:11.51\00:52:16.28
leaving the Great Orion
Nebula, surrounding Jesus
00:52:17.33\00:52:22.01
on His return will be
millions and millions of angels
00:52:22.05\00:52:26.70
surrounding Him.
00:52:26.73\00:52:28.15
As Jesus Himself, speeds towards
the Earth at thousands of times
00:52:28.73\00:52:34.20
the speed of light...
[audience claps and cheers]
00:52:34.23\00:52:37.14
...He will have to slow
down as He approaches the Earth.
00:52:40.97\00:52:44.75
Coming through the solar
system, He passes the Sun,
00:52:44.78\00:52:47.82
of course, doing many times the
speed of light, until he gets
00:52:48.22\00:52:51.21
close to the Earth, slows
down, the people on the Earth
00:52:51.24\00:52:54.36
will at first see a dark
cloud, and as that dark cloud
00:52:54.39\00:52:57.44
gets a little closer, a little
brighter, a little brighter,
00:52:57.48\00:53:00.31
and it finally lights up the
sky [audience claps and cheers]
00:53:00.34\00:53:03.14
and as it lights up the
sky, those people who are alive
00:53:03.88\00:53:07.14
and waiting for Jesus
and have been faithful to His
00:53:07.18\00:53:09.86
10 commandments, will
welcome Him, they'll say:
00:53:09.90\00:53:12.37
"Lo, here's our God,
we have waited for Him."
00:53:12.41\00:53:14.85
His appearing though,
will be as a consuming fire
00:53:14.99\00:53:18.77
to those who are afraid of his
coming, to those who have not
00:53:18.81\00:53:23.11
kept His 10 commandments.
00:53:23.21\00:53:25.30
In Revelation 14:12: "Here
is the patience of the saints,"
00:53:25.60\00:53:30.39
"here are they that
keep the commandments of God"
00:53:30.42\00:53:33.13
"and have the faith of Jesus."
[audience claps and cheers]
00:53:33.36\00:53:37.87
Folks, David and I have worked
a long time with God's blessing,
00:53:44.09\00:53:48.00
and God's guided us, and
the Holy Spirit is still leading
00:53:48.03\00:53:50.07
and guiding today, we
believe as we've been here,
00:53:50.10\00:53:52.75
and have been privileged to be
with you, indeed, that event is
00:53:52.79\00:53:56.10
nigh at hand. We
believe these discoveries,
00:53:56.20\00:53:58.45
as we said earlier, are coming
to the world, not just SDA's,
00:53:58.49\00:54:02.38
to help the world understand,
when you look at the heaven,
00:54:02.51\00:54:05.14
you're seeing the evidence,
the fingerprints of the cosmic
00:54:05.17\00:54:07.77
creation, the cosmic code
is there for us all to see.
00:54:07.80\00:54:11.23
The Creator created the Universe
so we can see that He's nearby
00:54:11.27\00:54:15.29
and He's coming soon.
00:54:15.46\00:54:16.97
What you've just seen,
if you want more about it,
00:54:17.01\00:54:19.17
and the video has just
been produced by the Adventist
00:54:19.33\00:54:21.65
Media Productions, it's called
00:54:21.68\00:54:23.55
"Center of the universe-
The Great White Throne."
00:54:23.59\00:54:25.87
It's all available through
the Adventist Media Productions.
00:54:25.91\00:54:28.91
We're privileged to be with
you this afternoon to help us
00:54:29.06\00:54:32.30
all to understand that indeed,
remember we said earlier,
00:54:32.33\00:54:35.75
Hebrews 10, that indeed, God
has given us the new covenant
00:54:35.79\00:54:39.18
promise of writing His
laws and His statutes on each
00:54:39.21\00:54:41.72
of our hearts and minds.
We said earlier that those
00:54:41.75\00:54:44.23
laws and statutes
that He's writing are what?
00:54:44.33\00:54:47.53
The 10 commandments that we
are celebrating this particular
00:54:47.85\00:54:50.93
weekend.
00:54:50.96\00:54:52.42
People say we can't
keep the 10 commandments,
00:54:52.46\00:54:54.59
obviously, of ourselves we
can't, but this great message
00:54:54.69\00:54:57.86
here of the universe is
that the God who could speak
00:54:57.89\00:55:00.99
the universe, the galaxies into
existence throughout the endless
00:55:01.03\00:55:04.77
eons of space, is the
same God that can recreate us
00:55:05.07\00:55:08.80
in His image and can keep us
faithful from moment to moment.
00:55:08.84\00:55:13.19
[Audience claps and cheers]
00:55:13.22\00:55:15.41
Our privilege has been to
be with you today, we thank you
00:55:19.14\00:55:21.61
for Danny Shelton and
all of 3ABN who've allowed us
00:55:21.64\00:55:24.21
to be here, it's time
for us to close now, we just
00:55:24.24\00:55:26.74
want to have a brief prayer.
Father in heaven, we thank You
00:55:26.78\00:55:29.71
so much for this opportunity
of communicating to others
00:55:29.74\00:55:32.61
the great truths that You have
revealed to us, that tell us
00:55:32.65\00:55:35.85
that Jesus, our Saviour is
soon to return, and He's going
00:55:35.88\00:55:38.92
to return for those Lord,
as David has said, who have
00:55:38.95\00:55:41.96
had the faith of
Jesus. May we have His faith,
00:55:41.99\00:55:44.41
may we have His Spirit the
remainder of this Sabbath day.
00:55:44.71\00:55:47.68
Strengthen us Lord that
we want to be found faithful
00:55:47.92\00:55:50.13
to meet Him in
peace as we've just seen.
00:55:50.16\00:55:52.66
In His wonderful
name we pray, Amen.
00:55:52.87\00:55:55.90
Thank you doctors Gentry.
00:55:57.66\00:56:00.43
Well, you know, I don't
know where the throne of God is
00:56:00.53\00:56:03.20
in the heavens for sure,
but one thing I want to say is
00:56:03.40\00:56:06.75
make sure that He is
enthroned in your heart,
00:56:06.78\00:56:10.42
just as he wants to write the
10 commandments in our heart,
00:56:10.46\00:56:13.76
make sure God is sitting on
the throne of your heart, amen?
00:56:13.89\00:56:17.95
Hebrews 1:3 says that
Jesus sustains all things by His
00:56:18.15\00:56:23.87
powerful Word, so
get into the Word of God
00:56:23.90\00:56:28.33
and let that transforming
power make a difference
00:56:28.37\00:56:32.77
in your life.
00:56:32.80\00:56:34.42
[Music for credits]
