I want to spend my life
00:00:02.00\00:00:07.90
Mending broken people
00:00:07.94\00:00:12.87
I want to spend my life
00:00:12.91\00:00:19.08
Removing pain
00:00:19.11\00:00:24.09
Lord, let my words
00:00:24.12\00:00:30.33
Heal a heart that hurts
00:00:30.36\00:00:34.96
I want to spend my life
00:00:35.00\00:00:40.67
Mending broken people
00:00:40.70\00:00:46.17
I want to spend my life
00:00:46.21\00:00:51.71
Mending broken people
00:00:51.75\00:00:56.25
Hello, and welcome once
again 3ABN Family Worship.
00:01:09.63\00:01:12.73
What a privilege it is
to come into your home,
00:01:12.77\00:01:14.97
spend this time
together study of God's Word
00:01:15.00\00:01:17.87
and we pray it's
just not this time
00:01:17.91\00:01:19.64
that we come together
00:01:19.67\00:01:21.01
but you have made it a habit
in your heart and in your life
00:01:21.04\00:01:24.55
that you're
gonna take your family,
00:01:24.58\00:01:26.08
morning and evening.
00:01:26.11\00:01:27.45
And you're gonna sit down
00:01:27.48\00:01:28.82
and you're gonna
open the Word of God,
00:01:28.85\00:01:30.19
you're gonna be
reading the Word of God,
00:01:30.22\00:01:31.55
you're gonna be praying,
you're gonna be singing.
00:01:31.59\00:01:33.12
And after you talk
about it a day that goes well
00:01:33.15\00:01:35.92
started out that
way, end it that way.
00:01:35.96\00:01:37.96
So anyway, we're so
glad to spend this time.
00:01:37.99\00:01:39.79
We thank you
for taking time out.
00:01:39.83\00:01:41.66
And I think it's worthwhile,
00:01:41.70\00:01:43.47
we're on part number four
of restoration of all things.
00:01:43.50\00:01:47.24
What does that really mean?
00:01:47.27\00:01:48.60
We're talking about
the sanctuary, aren't we?
00:01:48.64\00:01:50.71
That's right.
00:01:50.74\00:01:52.07
And we start out
with one part we thought
00:01:52.11\00:01:54.14
and it is now the
fourth and who knows
00:01:54.18\00:01:56.31
how far it's gonna
go because the sanctuary
00:01:56.34\00:01:58.91
Brother Ryan
mentioned so often and so deep,
00:01:58.95\00:02:01.15
you could just
talk and talk about it.
00:02:01.18\00:02:02.58
That's right.
00:02:02.62\00:02:03.95
Because all
things represent who?
00:02:03.99\00:02:05.72
Jesus Christ. That's right.
00:02:05.75\00:02:07.09
You know, how wonderful subject
00:02:07.12\00:02:08.56
and we pray that
you've been blessed so far.
00:02:08.59\00:02:10.53
Again, we're
gonna be on part four.
00:02:10.56\00:02:12.23
We're gonna be
looking at two things,
00:02:12.26\00:02:13.60
gonna be if time allows,
00:02:13.63\00:02:15.23
we will be looking
at the candlestick,
00:02:15.26\00:02:16.83
and we're gonna be
looking at The Ten Commandments,
00:02:16.87\00:02:20.84
you know, the most holy place.
00:02:20.87\00:02:22.37
And I think that's just
gonna be a fascinating time.
00:02:22.40\00:02:25.91
And I'm not sure we
can get through everything
00:02:25.94\00:02:28.14
because everybody has
such good ideas about,
00:02:28.18\00:02:30.45
you know, about the sanctuary,
00:02:30.48\00:02:32.61
and how it pertains to
us and to Jesus Christ.
00:02:32.65\00:02:35.38
Wanna introduce those
who are with us today.
00:02:35.42\00:02:38.55
We don't need introduction,
00:02:38.59\00:02:39.92
but we need to do it
anyway because I believe this.
00:02:39.95\00:02:41.66
I believe there's
new people all the time,
00:02:41.69\00:02:43.43
won't you that are tuning in.
00:02:43.46\00:02:45.29
And that's why sometimes
00:02:45.33\00:02:46.66
that we go over
the same material
00:02:46.70\00:02:48.03
because this may be
your very first time
00:02:48.06\00:02:50.40
and you've missed
all the other three.
00:02:50.43\00:02:52.13
So this is a fourth one
on my right Brother JD Quinn.
00:02:52.17\00:02:55.20
Glad you're here. Thank you.
00:02:55.24\00:02:56.87
We appreciate it.
00:02:56.91\00:02:58.24
Well, I appreciate
being here, I certainly do.
00:02:58.27\00:03:00.38
And, you know, talking about
00:03:00.41\00:03:01.74
hearing things
over and over again.
00:03:01.78\00:03:03.45
I know that I certainly did too.
00:03:03.48\00:03:04.81
Me too.
00:03:04.85\00:03:06.18
And there's just a
little bit of nugget here
00:03:06.21\00:03:07.68
and little nugget
there and one of those,
00:03:07.72\00:03:09.88
wow, what this is a gold mine.
00:03:09.92\00:03:11.79
Yes. All right.
00:03:11.82\00:03:13.15
Absolutely.
Absolutely. Praise God.
00:03:13.19\00:03:14.76
Okay, to my left my
precious wife, Christine.
00:03:14.79\00:03:17.46
Oh, I'm happy.
00:03:17.49\00:03:18.83
Christine Elizabeth.
00:03:18.86\00:03:20.20
Oh, boy. I didn't trouble.
00:03:20.23\00:03:21.56
Well, not really, not yet.
00:03:21.60\00:03:24.10
It was always Christie at home.
00:03:24.13\00:03:25.60
And it was
Christine, if I was in trouble.
00:03:25.63\00:03:28.04
People already know
you're the balancer.
00:03:28.07\00:03:30.61
To keep me balance in the Lord.
00:03:30.64\00:03:32.67
So praise God for that.
00:03:32.71\00:03:34.18
And then we have on
our left Brother Ryan Day.
00:03:34.21\00:03:35.94
Yes.
00:03:35.98\00:03:37.31
You know, what a blessing,
00:03:37.35\00:03:38.68
you know, get to
know you more all the time
00:03:38.71\00:03:40.28
programs that we do together.
00:03:40.32\00:03:41.65
Yes.
00:03:41.68\00:03:43.02
You know, in that setting,
but also in other settings.
00:03:43.05\00:03:46.15
You're the man that loves Jesus,
00:03:46.19\00:03:47.52
and loves the
gospel, and loves the truth.
00:03:47.56\00:03:49.29
That's nothing
to do with the head
00:03:49.32\00:03:50.66
that has to do with your heart.
00:03:50.69\00:03:52.03
Amen. I love the Word of God.
00:03:52.06\00:03:53.40
Amen.
00:03:53.43\00:03:54.76
We're glad you
did and you always,
00:03:54.80\00:03:56.13
always willing to help.
00:03:56.16\00:03:57.50
Amen. It's such a blessing.
00:03:57.53\00:03:59.47
People who invites
are always willing.
00:03:59.50\00:04:00.84
So praise God for that. Yes.
00:04:00.87\00:04:02.50
We know we
probably should have prayer
00:04:02.54\00:04:04.14
and then we wanna sing
00:04:04.17\00:04:05.51
because I can hardly wait
to sing the song that we have
00:04:05.54\00:04:07.74
but I think we need
some good prayer first,
00:04:07.78\00:04:09.78
isn't that right?
00:04:09.81\00:04:11.15
Absolutely.
00:04:11.18\00:04:12.51
Honey, would you pray for us?
00:04:12.55\00:04:13.88
Okay. Okay.
00:04:13.92\00:04:15.25
Most gracious Heavenly Father,
00:04:15.28\00:04:16.62
again, we thank You
for this opportunity
00:04:16.65\00:04:17.99
to lift Your Word up,
to be a light to the world.
00:04:18.02\00:04:21.59
Father, I pray that You
will speak to every heart
00:04:21.62\00:04:24.59
that is tuning in to every heart
00:04:24.63\00:04:26.63
and mind that is here
around this table as well.
00:04:26.66\00:04:29.56
May we lift up the name of Jesus
00:04:29.60\00:04:31.37
and we truly know
00:04:31.40\00:04:32.73
that we have been in
Your presence, Father.
00:04:32.77\00:04:34.97
We pray this in
Jesus' name. Amen.
00:04:35.00\00:04:37.31
Amen. Praise the Lord.
00:04:37.34\00:04:38.67
Okay, Brother Ryan, we're
going to turn it over to you
00:04:38.71\00:04:40.61
because, you
know, we are followers
00:04:40.64\00:04:42.84
when you're gonna be singing
we're gonna be following,
00:04:42.88\00:04:44.41
humming along, doing
whatever we can but...
00:04:44.45\00:04:46.25
Yeah.
00:04:46.28\00:04:47.62
Well, this song is
gonna be extra special
00:04:47.65\00:04:48.98
because Tim's playing it for us.
00:04:49.02\00:04:50.35
I'm glad. He's
over there on the piano.
00:04:50.39\00:04:52.05
We're gonna bring
his fingers to work here.
00:04:52.09\00:04:54.29
We're gonna sing it.
00:04:54.32\00:04:55.66
We're talking about
seven branch candlestick today,
00:04:55.69\00:04:57.33
what better song to sing than
"This Little Light of Mine."
00:04:57.36\00:04:59.79
That's right. I'm
gonna let it shine.
00:04:59.83\00:05:01.46
We can get happy,
right? That's right.
00:05:01.50\00:05:03.10
Absolutely. We can
get happy on this song.
00:05:03.13\00:05:04.63
That's right.
00:05:04.67\00:05:06.00
This little light of
mine I'm gonna let it shine
00:05:10.67\00:05:15.91
This little light of mine
00:05:15.94\00:05:18.48
I'm gonna let it shine
00:05:18.51\00:05:21.32
This little light of
mine I'm gonna let it shine
00:05:21.35\00:05:26.02
Let it shine Let
it shine Let it shine
00:05:26.05\00:05:32.19
All around the neighborhood
I'm gonna let it shine
00:05:32.23\00:05:37.77
All around the neighborhood
00:05:37.80\00:05:40.47
I'm gonna let it shine
00:05:40.50\00:05:43.34
All around the neighborhood
I'm gonna let it shine
00:05:43.37\00:05:48.21
Let it shine Let
it shine Let it shine
00:05:48.24\00:05:54.48
Hide it under a bushel?
00:05:54.52\00:05:56.18
No!
00:05:56.22\00:05:57.55
I'm gonna let it shine
Hide it under a bushel?
00:05:57.59\00:06:01.56
No!
00:06:01.59\00:06:02.92
I'm gonna let it shine
Hide it under a bushel?
00:06:02.96\00:06:07.16
No!
00:06:07.20\00:06:08.53
I'm gonna let it shine
Let it shine Let it shine
00:06:08.56\00:06:12.97
Let it shine I like this one.
00:06:13.00\00:06:16.60
Don't let Satan blow it
out I'm gonna let it shine
00:06:16.64\00:06:22.18
Don't let Satan blow it out
00:06:22.21\00:06:25.05
I'm gonna let it shine
00:06:25.08\00:06:27.82
Don't let Satan blow it
out I'm gonna let it shine
00:06:27.85\00:06:32.75
Let it shine Let
it shine Let it shine
00:06:32.79\00:06:38.76
Wow! Amen.
00:06:38.79\00:06:40.13
Oh, that is not a kid's song.
00:06:40.16\00:06:41.56
But lot of people
see that as a kid's song,
00:06:41.60\00:06:43.00
but that's a powerful,
simple but powerful message.
00:06:43.03\00:06:45.37
Oh, yes, it is. It is.
00:06:45.40\00:06:48.00
Good 'cause I love it.
00:06:48.04\00:06:49.44
Good. Amen.
00:06:49.47\00:06:50.81
We pray that came forth
00:06:50.84\00:06:52.17
and you were
singing along with us.
00:06:52.21\00:06:54.51
You know, that's a catchy
song, praise God for that.
00:06:54.54\00:06:57.05
Again, restitution of all things
00:06:57.08\00:06:58.48
part number
four, we're going to,
00:06:58.51\00:07:00.48
maybe do things
little differently,
00:07:00.52\00:07:01.85
but it's okay,
we can kind of doing
00:07:01.88\00:07:03.22
as the Holy
Spirit directs us to do,
00:07:03.25\00:07:04.59
we're gonna look up
several passages of scripture,
00:07:04.62\00:07:06.35
we're gonna read
them to begin with why?
00:07:06.39\00:07:09.19
Because many maybe have missed
what's been discussed before.
00:07:09.22\00:07:13.03
And it's very, very
important that we get together
00:07:13.06\00:07:15.43
because we're
looking at restitution of,
00:07:15.46\00:07:18.10
you know, Bible truths in
relation to the sanctuary.
00:07:18.13\00:07:21.90
Right. Amen.
00:07:21.94\00:07:23.27
And the sanctuary is
one of the most important,
00:07:23.30\00:07:25.24
if not the most
important doctrine
00:07:25.27\00:07:27.14
as it were that we need to know.
00:07:27.18\00:07:28.51
That's right.
00:07:28.54\00:07:29.88
And again, people will
say, well, we disagree.
00:07:29.91\00:07:31.25
It's so important that
we need to be studying in
00:07:31.28\00:07:33.65
and praying and
learning every day from that.
00:07:33.68\00:07:36.02
That's right.
00:07:36.05\00:07:37.39
I'm going to just quote
one scripture from Psalm 77:13,
00:07:37.42\00:07:41.22
which you're very familiar with
because a lot of people say,
00:07:41.26\00:07:43.93
"I realized there was
an earthly sanctuary."
00:07:43.96\00:07:47.53
Of course, many do not,
00:07:47.56\00:07:49.30
I've visited some folks
00:07:49.33\00:07:50.67
in different
churches different times,
00:07:50.70\00:07:52.03
and we start
talking about the sanctuary.
00:07:52.07\00:07:53.50
And they'll say, "I haven't,
we've never heard that before.
00:07:53.54\00:07:56.84
It's never been taught to us,
00:07:56.87\00:07:58.51
and what a
blessing we are missing."
00:07:58.54\00:08:00.91
But the Bible says Psalm 77:13,
"Thy way, O God, is in," where?
00:08:00.94\00:08:05.71
Sanctuary. The sanctuary.
00:08:05.75\00:08:07.08
Thy way, O God simply
put it's in the sanctuary.
00:08:07.12\00:08:09.38
So if you wanna find God,
and find the way around Christ.
00:08:09.42\00:08:11.82
Amen.
00:08:11.85\00:08:13.19
You know, His sacrifice
everything that was done
00:08:13.22\00:08:14.56
in the behalf of mankind,
00:08:14.59\00:08:16.22
that was stolen by
the enemy over the years
00:08:16.26\00:08:20.16
and buried until the
time of the reformation.
00:08:20.20\00:08:23.47
So this part of
reformation period of time.
00:08:23.50\00:08:25.23
Sure.
00:08:25.27\00:08:26.60
So we know there was an earthly
00:08:26.63\00:08:28.20
and now many people disagree
that there's a heavenly,
00:08:28.24\00:08:30.84
I thought it'd be pretty sweet
00:08:30.87\00:08:32.21
if we could just read a
few passages of scripture
00:08:32.24\00:08:35.21
confirming as it were,
00:08:35.24\00:08:36.58
oh, there's lot of things
we go into about the sanctuary,
00:08:36.61\00:08:39.95
Brother Ryan, you
have our first passage.
00:08:39.98\00:08:41.32
Sure, yeah.
00:08:41.35\00:08:42.68
And you tell us
where it's found.
00:08:42.72\00:08:44.05
So we're gonna be
going to Hebrews Chapter 8.
00:08:44.09\00:08:45.62
And we're gonna be specifically
reading verses 1, 2, and 5.
00:08:45.65\00:08:48.69
Yes. I love this text.
00:08:48.72\00:08:50.33
It says, "Now
this is the main point
00:08:50.36\00:08:53.03
of the things we are saying.
00:08:53.06\00:08:56.13
We have such a High Priest,
00:08:56.16\00:08:58.13
who is seated at the right hand
00:08:58.17\00:08:59.83
of the throne of
Majesty in the heavens."
00:08:59.87\00:09:03.20
Verse 2 says, "A
Minister of the sanctuary
00:09:03.24\00:09:05.97
and the true tabernacle
00:09:06.01\00:09:07.74
which the Lord
erected, and not man."
00:09:07.78\00:09:10.58
Come on.
00:09:10.61\00:09:11.95
And then notice verse 5,
"Who serve the copy and shadow
00:09:11.98\00:09:15.25
of the heavenly things,
00:09:15.28\00:09:16.69
as Moses was divinely instructed
00:09:16.72\00:09:18.59
when he was about
to make the tabernacle.
00:09:18.62\00:09:21.52
For He said, 'See
that you make all things
00:09:21.56\00:09:23.46
according to the pattern
shown you on the mountain.'"
00:09:23.49\00:09:26.53
Amen.
00:09:26.56\00:09:27.90
Just made a quick
word or two. Yeah.
00:09:27.93\00:09:29.56
What do you gather from
those verses right quick?
00:09:29.60\00:09:31.03
Oh, absolutely. So...
00:09:31.07\00:09:32.40
The heavenly,
earthly, what... Absolutely.
00:09:32.43\00:09:33.77
So obviously there's the
Bible makes it very clear
00:09:33.80\00:09:35.97
that there was,
there's a heavenly throne room,
00:09:36.00\00:09:37.84
there's a heavenly sanctuary.
00:09:37.87\00:09:39.47
And so we read about
that here in verses 1-2.
00:09:39.51\00:09:42.51
This is a sanctuary not made
with hands, God dwells there.
00:09:42.54\00:09:44.75
Come on.
00:09:44.78\00:09:46.11
He is our heavenly High Priest,
00:09:46.15\00:09:47.68
and verse 5
witnesses to the fact that
00:09:47.72\00:09:50.22
God minister to Moses
00:09:50.25\00:09:51.62
as He brought him
at top of Mount Sinai,
00:09:51.65\00:09:53.62
Moses was in... I'm
a little jealous here,
00:09:53.66\00:09:55.76
Moses was able to get a glimpse,
00:09:55.79\00:09:57.86
he was able to look
into and see the heavenly,
00:09:57.89\00:10:01.20
the actual model.
00:10:01.23\00:10:02.56
He was actually able to
see the heaven, the real deal.
00:10:02.60\00:10:04.40
Yes.
00:10:04.43\00:10:05.77
And then God instructed him,
00:10:05.80\00:10:07.14
He said, just as
the things you saw,
00:10:07.17\00:10:08.90
in the vision given you.
00:10:08.94\00:10:10.44
Now you are to make a model,
00:10:10.47\00:10:11.81
a copy of everything
you saw in an earthly form,
00:10:11.84\00:10:14.71
and that's where we get
the wilderness tabernacle.
00:10:14.74\00:10:17.25
Amen.
00:10:17.28\00:10:18.61
Oh, that's beautiful. Amen.
00:10:18.65\00:10:20.02
And then, Brother JD,
00:10:20.05\00:10:21.75
you have passage too
in Hebrews Chapter 9.
00:10:21.78\00:10:24.62
And I'm gonna read
this out of the Amplified.
00:10:24.65\00:10:27.72
Okay.
00:10:27.76\00:10:29.09
"Now even the first
covenant had regulations
00:10:29.12\00:10:31.29
for divine worship, and
for the earthly sanctuary.
00:10:31.33\00:10:34.66
A tabernacle, a
sacred tent was put up,
00:10:34.70\00:10:38.30
the outer one or
the first section,
00:10:38.33\00:10:40.14
in which were the lampstand
00:10:40.17\00:10:42.14
and the table with its
loaves of sacred showbread.
00:10:42.17\00:10:45.71
This is called the Holy place."
00:10:45.74\00:10:47.31
Yes.
00:10:47.34\00:10:48.68
"Behind the second veil
there was another tabernacle,
00:10:48.71\00:10:51.78
the inner one or second section
known as the Holy of Holies,
00:10:51.81\00:10:55.72
having the
golden altar of incense
00:10:55.75\00:10:57.99
and the Ark of the Covenant
covered entirely with gold.
00:10:58.02\00:11:01.96
This contained a golden
jar which held the manna,
00:11:01.99\00:11:05.09
and the rod of
Aaron that sprouted,
00:11:05.13\00:11:07.40
and the two stone
tablets of the covenant
00:11:07.43\00:11:10.17
inscribed with
the Ten Commandments,
00:11:10.20\00:11:12.53
and above the ark
00:11:12.57\00:11:14.24
were the golden
cherubim of glory
00:11:14.27\00:11:16.34
overshadowing the mercy seat,
00:11:16.37\00:11:18.54
but we cannot now go into detail
00:11:18.57\00:11:20.78
about these things."
00:11:20.81\00:11:22.31
Amen.
00:11:22.34\00:11:23.68
But we talk about things
00:11:23.71\00:11:25.51
that you can spend
a lot of time on here
00:11:25.55\00:11:27.52
'cause we're going to the
ark for the Ten Commandments,
00:11:27.55\00:11:30.59
we're talking
about the mercy seat.
00:11:30.62\00:11:31.95
And that's one of the things
that we'll be talking about,
00:11:31.99\00:11:33.76
as we talked
about the lampstand.
00:11:33.79\00:11:35.36
But there's heavy
duty things in there
00:11:35.39\00:11:37.46
that indicate that
there is a heavenly sanctuary
00:11:37.49\00:11:40.00
that we need to be aware of.
00:11:40.03\00:11:41.36
Honey, you have some passages...
00:11:41.40\00:11:42.73
I do... Would you read for us?
00:11:42.76\00:11:44.10
And, you know,
I've often thought...
00:11:44.13\00:11:45.47
You're reading.
00:11:45.50\00:11:46.84
Sorry, you're
reading Hebrews 9:1-5.
00:11:46.87\00:11:48.20
That's right. And then...
00:11:48.24\00:11:49.57
Okay.
00:11:49.60\00:11:50.94
During these programs
00:11:50.97\00:11:52.31
that we should
have had a picture
00:11:52.34\00:11:53.68
and as you were reading that
00:11:53.71\00:11:55.04
it would have been so
nice to have a visual,
00:11:55.08\00:11:56.41
but I encourage
you at home if you,
00:11:56.44\00:11:58.01
you know, since
we're not showing a visual,
00:11:58.05\00:12:00.42
look it up on the internet,
00:12:00.45\00:12:01.78
I'm sure that there's
one there that you can find.
00:12:01.82\00:12:04.22
Okay, I'm reading
Hebrews 9:10-12 and then 14-15.
00:12:04.25\00:12:08.52
And it reads, "Which
stood only in meats and drinks,
00:12:08.56\00:12:11.76
and divers washings,
and carnal ordinances,
00:12:11.79\00:12:14.83
imposed on them until
the time of reformation.
00:12:14.86\00:12:18.63
But Christ being come
00:12:18.67\00:12:21.04
an high priest of
good things to come,
00:12:21.07\00:12:23.17
by a greater and
more perfect tabernacle,
00:12:23.20\00:12:26.34
not made with hands,
00:12:26.37\00:12:27.98
that is to say,
not of this building.
00:12:28.01\00:12:30.85
Neither by the
blood of goats and calves,
00:12:30.88\00:12:33.05
but by his own blood he entered
in once into the holy place,
00:12:33.08\00:12:38.09
" hallelujah, "having obtained
eternal redemption for us."
00:12:38.12\00:12:43.86
This is why we didn't
go to heaven at the cross.
00:12:43.89\00:12:47.96
This is why He
went back into heaven
00:12:48.00\00:12:51.20
because He had to
restore all things.
00:12:51.23\00:12:54.04
And so even John got a glimpse
into the heaven sanctuary.
00:12:54.07\00:12:57.14
Yes. Yes, he did.
00:12:57.17\00:12:58.64
He got a glimpse of the,
00:12:58.67\00:13:00.01
what we're about to
talking about today.
00:13:00.04\00:13:01.38
Revelation 11, is
it were? That's right.
00:13:01.41\00:13:02.84
Yeah. Wow. Yeah,
the candlesticks.
00:13:02.88\00:13:04.61
How can he glimpse if it
wasn't there, isn't that?
00:13:04.65\00:13:06.78
That's right.
00:13:06.82\00:13:08.35
Okay.
00:13:08.38\00:13:09.72
Going on in
Hebrews 9:14, it says,
00:13:09.75\00:13:11.92
"How much more
shall the blood of Christ,
00:13:11.95\00:13:14.62
who through the eternal spirit
00:13:14.66\00:13:16.16
offered himself
without spot to God,"
00:13:16.19\00:13:19.23
Christ had no spot, no wrinkle,
00:13:19.26\00:13:21.36
He was a perfect sacrifice,
00:13:21.40\00:13:23.63
"purge your conscience
00:13:23.67\00:13:25.00
from the dead works
to serve the living God?
00:13:25.03\00:13:28.00
And for this cause he is
the mediator, " hallelujah.
00:13:28.04\00:13:31.27
Amen.
00:13:31.31\00:13:32.64
We could stop right
there and praise the Lord.
00:13:32.67\00:13:34.11
"He is our mediator
of the New Testament,
00:13:34.14\00:13:37.35
that by means of death,
00:13:37.38\00:13:38.71
for the redemption
of the transgressions
00:13:38.75\00:13:40.92
that were under
the first testament,
00:13:40.95\00:13:43.08
they were all
called might receive
00:13:43.12\00:13:46.35
the promise of
eternal inheritance."
00:13:46.39\00:13:48.52
Eternal inheritance, yes.
00:13:48.56\00:13:49.89
Eternal inheritance.
00:13:49.92\00:13:51.33
We have hope past this world.
00:13:51.36\00:13:54.13
We have hope because
of the blood of Christ
00:13:54.16\00:13:58.00
and that He's gone back
00:13:58.03\00:14:00.30
for the
restitution of all things
00:14:00.34\00:14:02.24
to put them back the
way they were supposed to be
00:14:02.27\00:14:04.37
just like the form in heaven,
00:14:04.41\00:14:06.14
just like the
sanctuary in heaven,
00:14:06.17\00:14:08.44
and then prepare us to
be part of that number,
00:14:08.48\00:14:11.28
eternal inheritance.
00:14:11.31\00:14:12.65
That's right. Yeah.
00:14:12.68\00:14:14.02
We're never gonna get sick.
00:14:14.05\00:14:15.38
We lost some people.
00:14:15.42\00:14:16.75
We actually were
gonna have six people,
00:14:16.79\00:14:18.12
one of them are sick today.
00:14:18.15\00:14:20.06
In heaven,
there's no more sickness.
00:14:20.09\00:14:21.49
No more sickness. That's right.
00:14:21.52\00:14:22.86
There's no more
death, no more sorrow,
00:14:22.89\00:14:24.83
no more hurricanes,
00:14:24.86\00:14:26.19
no more
earthquakes, no more tornadoes.
00:14:26.23\00:14:28.13
Hallelujah. Praise the Lord.
00:14:28.16\00:14:29.76
I am looking forward to this.
00:14:29.80\00:14:31.17
So we're bubbling over, right?
00:14:31.20\00:14:33.30
We pray that you are
too because it is good news.
00:14:33.34\00:14:35.84
That's right. And
so much information.
00:14:35.87\00:14:37.34
Again, I'm gonna
just read one passage,
00:14:37.37\00:14:39.24
and then just real quickly,
00:14:39.27\00:14:41.24
kind of go over the one,
two, three, four, five things
00:14:41.28\00:14:43.55
and then we're gonna get into.
00:14:43.58\00:14:44.91
I know the time's flying by
00:14:44.95\00:14:46.28
but I think it's very
important for the beginner.
00:14:46.31\00:14:48.12
Jesus said this,
was in John 3:12,
00:14:48.15\00:14:51.02
I thought it was
very interesting.
00:14:51.05\00:14:52.42
Because again, we're
talking about the earthly
00:14:52.45\00:14:54.42
and then we're
talking about the heavenly
00:14:54.46\00:14:57.13
was taking place in
the heavenly sanctuary.
00:14:57.16\00:14:59.19
Jesus said this so if you think,
00:14:59.23\00:15:00.70
well, I don't quite
understand all that.
00:15:00.73\00:15:02.60
Notice in John
3:12, the Bible says.
00:15:02.63\00:15:05.53
I like that, the Bible says,
00:15:05.57\00:15:07.10
Jesus said, "If I
told you of earthly things,
00:15:07.14\00:15:11.14
and ye believe not,
how shall ye believe,
00:15:11.17\00:15:14.21
if I tell you of
heavenly things?"
00:15:14.24\00:15:17.55
I mean, that just
kind of hits it right now.
00:15:17.58\00:15:19.25
He's trying to say so,
00:15:19.28\00:15:20.62
you know, we've got to be
in tune with the Holy Spirit.
00:15:20.65\00:15:22.62
That's right. Yes.
00:15:22.65\00:15:23.99
We've got to be
praying like we prayed here.
00:15:24.02\00:15:25.42
And if you've not been praying,
00:15:25.45\00:15:26.79
be praying the Holy Spirit
will enlighten to these things
00:15:26.82\00:15:29.06
that we've been
talking about here.
00:15:29.09\00:15:30.63
Because again, these
truths that have been,
00:15:30.66\00:15:33.26
you know, covered up
00:15:33.29\00:15:34.63
through the long,
hundreds of years.
00:15:34.66\00:15:36.90
That's right.
00:15:36.93\00:15:38.27
God said in these last days,
they're gonna be uncovered,
00:15:38.30\00:15:40.04
and there's gonna be people
that's going to uncover them.
00:15:40.07\00:15:41.84
That's right.
00:15:41.87\00:15:43.20
He's gonna use us to do a work,
00:15:43.24\00:15:44.61
whoever wants to be
used to uncover these truth,
00:15:44.64\00:15:47.71
and certainly that started
in the Reformation, praise God.
00:15:47.74\00:15:49.71
So what we studied
quickly in the 1300s restored.
00:15:49.74\00:15:53.31
So what was taken,
remember the table of showbread
00:15:53.35\00:15:55.92
was restored in the 1300s there.
00:15:55.95\00:15:58.09
That meant when the Bible
00:15:58.12\00:15:59.45
was translated
into the languages,
00:15:59.49\00:16:01.22
the common
language, so it's restored.
00:16:01.26\00:16:03.46
14-1500s restored
the altar of sacrifice.
00:16:03.49\00:16:07.90
That means righteous
by faith was restored.
00:16:07.93\00:16:10.63
In the 1500 John Calvin,
00:16:10.67\00:16:12.23
remember, he's
talking about here,
00:16:12.27\00:16:13.74
the altar of incense.
00:16:13.77\00:16:15.10
Right. I came to conclude.
00:16:15.14\00:16:16.47
We can go, you know, we have
to go to the right, to Jesus,
00:16:16.50\00:16:19.57
we go right straight to Him,
you know, He's our mediator,
00:16:19.61\00:16:22.08
He's our
intercessor. That's right.
00:16:22.11\00:16:23.68
And, you know, what
joy that must have brought
00:16:23.71\00:16:25.68
to their heart and mind.
00:16:25.71\00:16:27.05
Oh, absolutely.
00:16:27.08\00:16:28.42
And they have to go through
all of these other things here,
00:16:28.45\00:16:29.98
they could go
straight to Christ.
00:16:30.02\00:16:31.35
Amen.
00:16:31.39\00:16:32.72
Sixteen hundreds
restored the laver,
00:16:32.75\00:16:34.82
baptism by immersion.
00:16:34.86\00:16:36.19
So we realized a lot of
stuff went on that was very...
00:16:36.22\00:16:39.46
I was reading
something the other day on that
00:16:39.49\00:16:41.50
'cause we talked about the...
00:16:41.53\00:16:44.30
Where you wash where
the priests washed in.
00:16:44.33\00:16:46.07
Right.
00:16:46.10\00:16:47.44
The priests washed,
00:16:47.47\00:16:48.80
when he went in on
the Day of Atonement,
00:16:48.84\00:16:50.94
he also washed when he came out.
00:16:50.97\00:16:53.27
That's right. That's right.
00:16:53.31\00:16:54.64
He had to, He came out
00:16:54.68\00:16:56.01
because we had be baptized
with the baptism of Jesus.
00:16:56.04\00:16:58.45
That's right.
00:16:58.48\00:16:59.81
Jesus was baptized
in 27 AD in Jordan.
00:16:59.85\00:17:03.22
He was baptized again
00:17:03.25\00:17:04.59
in the Garden of
Gethsemane by blood.
00:17:04.62\00:17:07.72
Two baptisms and so we
must participate in that
00:17:07.76\00:17:10.49
and so when the priest came out,
00:17:10.53\00:17:12.16
he also had to change garments.
00:17:12.19\00:17:13.53
That's right.
00:17:13.56\00:17:14.90
Took off the mediatorial
garments of Christ at one
00:17:14.93\00:17:17.10
and he put on the white linen
00:17:17.13\00:17:18.47
represents the
righteousness of Christ.
00:17:18.50\00:17:20.14
We come out, we're
washed up ready to go,
00:17:20.17\00:17:22.27
and that laver, what do we do?
00:17:22.30\00:17:24.44
All right.
Perfectly, we look into that.
00:17:24.47\00:17:26.68
And we perfectly represent
Jesus and see Jesus in others.
00:17:26.71\00:17:30.45
What did John the Baptist say?
00:17:30.48\00:17:31.81
He said, "I indeed
baptize you by water."
00:17:31.85\00:17:33.78
Yes.
00:17:33.82\00:17:35.15
But there was one mightier
than I just gonna come back
00:17:35.18\00:17:36.52
to baptize you by the
Holy Spirit with fire.
00:17:36.55\00:17:38.42
Amen. Yes.
00:17:38.45\00:17:39.79
So we have to
experience both those baptisms.
00:17:39.82\00:17:41.42
Absolutely. Yes.
00:17:41.46\00:17:42.82
See, to me, that's exciting.
00:17:42.86\00:17:44.19
Oh, that's absolutely, yeah.
00:17:44.23\00:17:45.73
The priest came
out after that, right?
00:17:45.76\00:17:47.66
Came out and
confessed in the sins zone.
00:17:47.70\00:17:49.76
He's in the white attire, right?
00:17:49.80\00:17:51.63
That's right.
00:17:51.67\00:17:53.00
We confess our sins,
He's faithful and just,
00:17:53.03\00:17:54.87
we are white attire or the
robe of Christ's righteousness.
00:17:54.90\00:17:58.51
Amen.
00:17:58.54\00:17:59.87
We're gonna go to
question number...
00:17:59.91\00:18:01.24
That's just a little background.
00:18:01.28\00:18:02.61
So, you know, you can
kind of look things up.
00:18:02.64\00:18:03.98
But again, it's just very
touching on the edges of it.
00:18:04.01\00:18:06.08
Sure.
00:18:06.11\00:18:07.45
Lot of study left to do
on that question number five.
00:18:07.48\00:18:10.09
Momma, do you have
that in front of you?
00:18:10.12\00:18:11.45
I do have. Can I
call you mom on here?
00:18:11.49\00:18:14.19
You just did.
00:18:14.22\00:18:16.22
I did.
00:18:16.26\00:18:17.59
It's a habit.
00:18:17.63\00:18:19.76
And we might wanna
mention that in the 1700s,
00:18:19.79\00:18:23.16
John Wesley was raised up
00:18:23.20\00:18:25.07
and he's the founder
of the Methodist Movement.
00:18:25.10\00:18:27.64
And John Wesley
had a special burden
00:18:27.67\00:18:30.21
that everyone be an evangelist.
00:18:30.24\00:18:31.77
That's right.
00:18:31.81\00:18:33.14
Evangelist, isn't that awesome?
00:18:33.17\00:18:34.51
Everyone witness, he'd
be a light to the world.
00:18:34.54\00:18:37.05
He was the
first one that we know
00:18:37.08\00:18:39.15
of to begin
missionary societies.
00:18:39.18\00:18:41.65
And he sent missionaries
around the world to evangelize.
00:18:41.68\00:18:46.35
So he was the beginning
00:18:46.39\00:18:48.16
of the restoration
of the candlestick.
00:18:48.19\00:18:50.89
And as we begin to
study about the candlestick,
00:18:50.93\00:18:53.63
I mean, every piece is just,
00:18:53.66\00:18:56.00
I mean, whether they
were hammering the gold,
00:18:56.03\00:18:58.63
or how they carved
did what it represent,
00:18:58.67\00:19:01.74
every piece had a meaning.
00:19:01.77\00:19:03.94
And it's so exciting.
00:19:03.97\00:19:05.41
The question is actually
the seven-branched candlestick.
00:19:05.44\00:19:09.11
How may we be a
light to the world?
00:19:09.14\00:19:12.68
And I think
there's a lot to go through
00:19:12.71\00:19:14.62
before we just
answer that simple, simple.
00:19:14.65\00:19:18.29
Well, somewhat complex about...
00:19:18.32\00:19:20.39
Sure. We'll get
some thoughts on...
00:19:20.42\00:19:22.82
Brother Ryan, you
have some thoughts on it.
00:19:22.86\00:19:24.19
And JD, and then
00:19:24.23\00:19:25.56
she's got lot of stuff here
we can certainly read on here.
00:19:25.59\00:19:26.93
Absolutely.
00:19:26.96\00:19:28.30
So, you know, first of
all, you have to consider,
00:19:28.33\00:19:30.33
let's consider the literalness
00:19:30.37\00:19:32.13
of the
seven-branched candlestick
00:19:32.17\00:19:34.47
and then we'll go right
into the spiritual application.
00:19:34.50\00:19:36.10
Okay.
00:19:36.14\00:19:37.47
So obviously, the
seven-branched candlestick
00:19:37.51\00:19:39.37
was the only light
source of the holy place.
00:19:39.41\00:19:42.54
And so what type of light,
00:19:42.58\00:19:45.05
obviously, they
didn't have electricity.
00:19:45.08\00:19:47.18
So obviously, this
was a seven-branched stand
00:19:47.22\00:19:51.49
that have these little bowls,
00:19:51.52\00:19:53.29
there was obviously
little bowls at the top,
00:19:53.32\00:19:55.02
we consider bowls, I
don't know what you call it,
00:19:55.06\00:19:56.39
the proper name of them is,
00:19:56.42\00:19:57.83
but they would put oil
00:19:57.86\00:20:00.06
in order for that
fire to continue to burn
00:20:00.10\00:20:02.06
each and every
day, all day long.
00:20:02.10\00:20:04.63
They had to make
sure that oil was there,
00:20:04.67\00:20:07.97
every single day, constantly.
00:20:08.00\00:20:09.90
And so early in the morning,
and later in the evening,
00:20:09.94\00:20:14.01
twice a day,
00:20:14.04\00:20:15.38
the priests were responsible
for coming in and making sure
00:20:15.41\00:20:17.75
that oil was constantly
replenished and replaced
00:20:17.78\00:20:23.69
so that the fire never went out.
00:20:23.72\00:20:25.39
Now that
obviously spiritually does,
00:20:25.42\00:20:27.52
that should preach to us
because the oil in the Bible,
00:20:27.56\00:20:31.49
if you go to the
Book of Zechariah,
00:20:31.53\00:20:32.86
I think it's
Zechariah Chapter 4 or 5,
00:20:32.89\00:20:35.20
I think it's Chapter 4.
00:20:35.23\00:20:36.56
And then you connect that
with Revelation Chapter 5,
00:20:36.60\00:20:39.13
and it will
actually communicate to you
00:20:39.17\00:20:41.00
as the Bible tells us that
00:20:41.04\00:20:42.54
oil is a representation
of the Holy Spirit.
00:20:42.57\00:20:45.14
And so much like
us, we need the power
00:20:45.17\00:20:47.28
of the Holy Spirit
in our life, how often?
00:20:47.31\00:20:49.41
Yeah. Every day.
00:20:49.44\00:20:50.78
Daily. And we
should seek God how often?
00:20:50.81\00:20:53.11
Every single day,
morning and evening,
00:20:53.15\00:20:55.15
we should start
our day with God,
00:20:55.18\00:20:56.79
we should end
our day with the Lord
00:20:56.82\00:20:58.45
and keep Him
with us at all times,
00:20:58.49\00:21:00.26
but the only way the
fire is going to stay lit
00:21:00.29\00:21:03.83
is if the oil is present.
00:21:03.86\00:21:05.19
That's right. Amen.
00:21:05.23\00:21:06.56
And so if the Holy
Spirit is present in our life,
00:21:06.59\00:21:08.90
and we're connected to Christ
the vine and that oil is there,
00:21:08.93\00:21:13.57
then the light
will indeed shine.
00:21:13.60\00:21:15.70
There's a text that comes
to my mind here, our light,
00:21:15.74\00:21:18.77
which obviously
in Matthew Chapter 5.
00:21:18.81\00:21:21.44
We're not gonna
go there just for...
00:21:21.48\00:21:22.81
Matthew Chapter 5,
00:21:22.84\00:21:24.18
I believe it's verse
16, as you mentioned,
00:21:24.21\00:21:25.88
talking about how we
are the light of the world.
00:21:25.91\00:21:27.62
Yes.
00:21:27.65\00:21:28.98
You know, a city on a
hill can't be here, you know,
00:21:29.02\00:21:30.59
you can take a
lamp and try to hide it.
00:21:30.62\00:21:32.95
But, you know what that light,
00:21:32.99\00:21:34.32
you can't do that and
you shouldn't do that.
00:21:34.36\00:21:35.89
We should let our light shine.
00:21:35.92\00:21:37.89
But Acts 1:8 comes to my mind,
00:21:37.93\00:21:40.80
when we're
thinking of this topic
00:21:40.83\00:21:42.16
of the
seven-branched candlestick
00:21:42.20\00:21:43.53
the oil and the light,
allowing our light to shine.
00:21:43.57\00:21:46.27
Notice what Jesus says
here in Acts 1:8, He says,
00:21:46.30\00:21:48.90
"But you shall receive
power when the Holy Spirit
00:21:48.94\00:21:52.04
has come upon you,
and you shall be witnesses
00:21:52.07\00:21:55.81
to Me in Jerusalem, and
in all Judea and Samaria,
00:21:55.84\00:21:57.75
and to the ends of the earth."
00:21:57.78\00:21:59.21
And so in order for me
to allow my light to shine,
00:21:59.25\00:22:02.52
I have to have the
power of the Holy Spirit.
00:22:02.55\00:22:04.12
Absolutely.
00:22:04.15\00:22:05.49
And so when you look
inside that holy place
00:22:05.52\00:22:06.86
that only light source,
00:22:06.89\00:22:08.22
that seven-branched candlestick,
00:22:08.26\00:22:10.53
we see the oil,
we see the light.
00:22:10.56\00:22:12.83
And that is a testament to us
that each and every single day,
00:22:12.86\00:22:17.37
I have to be humble
enough to give myself to God,
00:22:17.40\00:22:21.44
sacrifice my
time, sacrifice myself,
00:22:21.47\00:22:25.07
to give my time
and myself to the Lord.
00:22:25.11\00:22:27.18
So that he can fill me
00:22:27.21\00:22:28.54
with the oil of the Holy Spirit,
00:22:28.58\00:22:30.08
that my light can shine
that I can be a beacon of light
00:22:30.11\00:22:32.71
to the rest of this world.
00:22:32.75\00:22:34.08
Yeah. And so that's...
00:22:34.12\00:22:35.45
Absolutely. Isn't that exciting?
00:22:35.48\00:22:36.82
Yeah. Yeah.
00:22:36.85\00:22:38.19
Let me bring this
into segue into this
00:22:38.22\00:22:39.55
because that was
absolutely perfect
00:22:39.59\00:22:40.92
in John 8:12.
00:22:40.96\00:22:42.72
Okay. John 8:12.
00:22:42.76\00:22:44.89
"Then Jesus spoke
to them again, saying,
00:22:44.93\00:22:47.80
'I am the light
of the world." Yes.
00:22:47.83\00:22:49.93
"And He who follows Me
shall not walk in darkness,
00:22:49.96\00:22:54.14
but have the light of life.'"
00:22:54.17\00:22:57.44
So that is a gift to
us if we choose to accept.
00:22:57.47\00:23:02.01
That's right.
00:23:02.04\00:23:03.38
Then I was going down here,
00:23:03.41\00:23:04.75
and I was
looking in the commentary
00:23:04.78\00:23:06.11
'cause I have
to go, I have to...
00:23:06.15\00:23:08.98
I have to dumb
it down sometimes.
00:23:09.02\00:23:11.39
That's okay. Me too.
00:23:11.42\00:23:12.85
And the commentary I
don't know that's dumping down
00:23:12.89\00:23:15.12
or that's raising up,
anyway I love commentary.
00:23:15.16\00:23:17.06
Let's check it
out. That's all right.
00:23:17.09\00:23:19.06
But it's talking
about in my mind,
00:23:19.09\00:23:23.26
first let me backup one thing
00:23:23.30\00:23:24.63
because I see a
bowl and I see the oil.
00:23:24.67\00:23:27.84
And normally then
I would say awake.
00:23:27.87\00:23:30.41
Come on.
00:23:30.44\00:23:31.77
Now, so the
priest sees in there,
00:23:31.81\00:23:33.14
putting the oil in there,
00:23:33.17\00:23:34.51
then it's also gonna
keep the wicks in there.
00:23:34.54\00:23:35.88
That's right. That's right.
00:23:35.91\00:23:37.25
Wicks are gonna be burning down.
00:23:37.28\00:23:39.01
And so it's sitting here,
00:23:39.05\00:23:43.99
"The churches, they,"
00:23:44.02\00:23:47.06
the bowls was called what,
"they're the what holds the oil
00:23:47.09\00:23:50.29
and thus the fire
to dispense the light."
00:23:50.33\00:23:53.60
That make sense, I
can see that. Okay.
00:23:53.63\00:23:56.46
So now that we can see,
00:23:56.50\00:23:58.30
now we just got this saying here
00:23:58.33\00:24:00.77
that we have the
opportunity to be that light.
00:24:00.80\00:24:03.10
Amen. Amen.
00:24:03.14\00:24:04.47
That's right. Oh, yeah.
00:24:04.51\00:24:05.84
So now we have to be involved.
00:24:05.87\00:24:07.21
So that means that our wick
is got to be freshened also.
00:24:07.24\00:24:08.81
There you go. Amen.
00:24:08.84\00:24:10.18
And also, it says many places
00:24:10.21\00:24:13.05
that we start our
day off with prayer,
00:24:13.08\00:24:15.68
we end our day with prayer.
00:24:15.72\00:24:17.32
But also we
have that opportunity
00:24:17.35\00:24:18.99
all through the day.
00:24:19.02\00:24:20.36
That's right. Amen.
00:24:20.39\00:24:22.42
Then it says here that,
00:24:22.46\00:24:23.83
"We must being
part of the church,
00:24:23.86\00:24:28.26
we must receive
that oil and fire
00:24:28.30\00:24:30.13
before it can dispense light."
00:24:30.17\00:24:32.63
So we must... Amen.
00:24:32.67\00:24:34.00
Okay, so that's
gonna be important,
00:24:34.04\00:24:35.37
which is the Holy Spirit.
00:24:35.40\00:24:37.14
Thus the church itself,
00:24:37.17\00:24:40.44
it doesn't have
either grace or glory.
00:24:40.48\00:24:43.24
That's right.
00:24:43.28\00:24:44.61
Okay, it must
receive it all from Christ...
00:24:44.65\00:24:47.48
Amen.
00:24:47.52\00:24:48.85
Which is the head,
which is the oil, okay,
00:24:48.88\00:24:52.99
else, it can dispense
neither light nor life.
00:24:53.02\00:24:57.13
Amen. Now how
do I fit into this?
00:24:57.16\00:24:59.69
Right. Right. What
is my responsibility.
00:24:59.73\00:25:03.33
It doesn't say here,
00:25:03.37\00:25:04.93
that Ryan said that I
am the light of the world,
00:25:04.97\00:25:11.24
Kenny doesn't say that
I'm the light of the world.
00:25:11.27\00:25:14.28
But it says Jesus
spoke, this is in red ink,
00:25:14.31\00:25:18.11
"He who follows Me shall not,
but he shall have the light."
00:25:18.15\00:25:21.12
So get on your
knees in the morning,
00:25:21.15\00:25:24.62
ask the Holy Spirit
to come in, fill me with,
00:25:24.65\00:25:28.62
give me the oil so
that I may be able to have
00:25:28.66\00:25:31.76
a level path before me
00:25:31.79\00:25:33.13
so that I will be
able to make a difference
00:25:33.16\00:25:36.67
in people's lives.
00:25:36.70\00:25:38.03
So that they
will be able to see.
00:25:38.07\00:25:39.40
Right.
00:25:39.43\00:25:40.77
So that's how I kind
of tie this all in there.
00:25:40.80\00:25:43.91
You know, is
this indeed mysterious
00:25:43.94\00:25:46.98
or is it just plain English?
00:25:47.01\00:25:49.11
Yeah.
00:25:49.14\00:25:50.48
Well, everything is mysterious
00:25:50.51\00:25:51.85
because without the first light,
00:25:51.88\00:25:54.32
you know, we
don't know anything...
00:25:54.35\00:25:55.68
That's right.
00:25:55.72\00:25:57.05
You know, that candlestick
00:25:57.09\00:25:58.42
and you can respond
to some of these things
00:25:58.45\00:25:59.79
here but we're talking about
00:25:59.82\00:26:01.16
because the candlestick
was the Bible gives what
00:26:01.19\00:26:04.13
Exodus 30 somewhere.
00:26:04.16\00:26:05.49
It's around 5 feet
high about 3.5 feet wide.
00:26:05.53\00:26:09.83
It had buds on it.
00:26:09.86\00:26:13.03
It had, what was
it, blossoms on it,
00:26:13.07\00:26:14.94
it had almonds on it.
00:26:14.97\00:26:16.81
When you count all of
those up that was on it.
00:26:16.84\00:26:19.07
There was interesting
is, you know, there were 70.
00:26:19.11\00:26:23.45
Remember, we are
the light of what?
00:26:23.48\00:26:25.95
The light of the
world, you know, Jesus.
00:26:25.98\00:26:28.05
Okay, do you have the main shaft
00:26:28.08\00:26:29.88
of that candlestick?
00:26:29.92\00:26:31.25
All right.
Jesus said in John 15.
00:26:31.29\00:26:32.75
"I am the vine,
ye are the branches.
00:26:32.79\00:26:38.29
And with we talk about
buds and blooms and almonds.
00:26:38.33\00:26:43.57
He expects us to
bear fruit. That's right.
00:26:43.60\00:26:46.47
And then when you put
it together with that,
00:26:46.50\00:26:48.64
you remember what happened?
00:26:48.67\00:26:50.01
You can read it somewhere
I think it is in Numbers
00:26:50.04\00:26:52.97
something
Numbers, what would I have?
00:26:53.01\00:26:54.54
Numbers 11:16 and on.
00:26:54.58\00:26:57.01
And there it talks about
there was 70 that was pointed.
00:26:57.05\00:26:59.71
Remember, who
they're gonna help,
00:26:59.75\00:27:01.08
was it Moses?
00:27:01.12\00:27:02.62
Remembered? Yep.
00:27:02.65\00:27:03.99
We say, "Well, he
went ahead and got."
00:27:04.02\00:27:05.82
The Lord says start
out the Lord said to Moses
00:27:05.85\00:27:08.89
to 70 man.
00:27:08.92\00:27:10.39
And bring them
together to help you
00:27:10.43\00:27:12.09
and I'm gonna put
the spirit you have
00:27:12.13\00:27:13.93
and the same spirit on them.
00:27:13.96\00:27:15.30
That's right. Oh,
that's interesting.
00:27:15.33\00:27:16.67
You say, "Well,
that's Old Testament."
00:27:16.70\00:27:18.03
In the New Testament, we
find out in Luke 10:1, 17.
00:27:18.07\00:27:24.84
The 70 was appointed right there
00:27:24.87\00:27:26.91
so wasn't just an accident.
00:27:26.94\00:27:28.28
This was made like this
exactly the way God said.
00:27:28.31\00:27:30.81
This is what he
intended for us to do.
00:27:30.85\00:27:34.35
We are the light
as it were the world,
00:27:34.38\00:27:36.22
we reflect what? Jesus Christ.
00:27:36.25\00:27:38.85
And you want to give
lightness, give light to those
00:27:38.89\00:27:42.02
who are in what?
00:27:42.06\00:27:43.43
In darkness.
00:27:43.46\00:27:44.79
Chapter 1:79, to
give light to those
00:27:44.83\00:27:46.80
as what
everybody's been saying here.
00:27:46.83\00:27:48.73
That's right.
00:27:48.76\00:27:50.10
So as we see this,
then it becomes even more
00:27:50.13\00:27:52.60
almost like complex,
but yet it's simple too
00:27:52.63\00:27:54.64
because it begins to explains
00:27:54.67\00:27:56.24
there's a
reason why we are here.
00:27:56.27\00:27:58.57
Amen.
00:27:58.61\00:27:59.94
Can you help us
along with that, honey?
00:27:59.97\00:28:01.31
I let you, I'm getting excited.
00:28:01.34\00:28:02.68
I'm gonna get on
the box right now.
00:28:02.71\00:28:04.05
Yeah, let me say something
00:28:04.08\00:28:05.41
before you jump
in on the box, okay?
00:28:05.45\00:28:07.25
There had to be an
intelligent design.
00:28:07.28\00:28:12.05
I mean, just say when we
were talking about 1700 here
00:28:12.09\00:28:14.92
when John Wesley when
we're talking about the 70
00:28:14.96\00:28:18.39
and how this all connect.
00:28:18.43\00:28:19.79
Right, right.
00:28:19.83\00:28:21.16
I mean, wow, this just
didn't happen by accident.
00:28:21.20\00:28:22.66
It backs up
because Exodus Chapter 25.
00:28:22.70\00:28:25.40
Amen.
00:28:25.43\00:28:26.77
He said, "It make a, I
want you to make the earth
00:28:26.80\00:28:29.40
after a pattern that I
show you in the heavenly."
00:28:29.44\00:28:32.31
That's right.
00:28:32.34\00:28:33.68
So I mean, that's
a beautiful thing.
00:28:33.71\00:28:35.04
So we're working
off of a pattern,
00:28:35.08\00:28:36.41
in order to have a pattern
there must have been what?
00:28:36.44\00:28:38.81
Shadow. That's right.
00:28:38.85\00:28:40.28
Must be an original
somewhere to cast a shadow.
00:28:40.32\00:28:42.28
That's okay, I'm sorry.
00:28:42.32\00:28:43.65
Well, I'm gonna quote actually
from a book that's entitled
00:28:43.69\00:28:46.15
"The Cross and Its Shadow."
00:28:46.19\00:28:47.96
And you said,
what are we doing here?
00:28:47.99\00:28:49.89
Well, when we look at the answer
00:28:49.92\00:28:52.03
that Christ gave to John,
00:28:52.06\00:28:53.70
when John saw the
seven-branched candlestick,
00:28:53.73\00:28:56.77
Christ was explaining to John
00:28:56.80\00:28:58.23
the meaning of what he had seen.
00:28:58.27\00:29:00.20
And he says, "The
seven candlesticks
00:29:00.24\00:29:02.24
which thou sawest
are seven churches."
00:29:02.27\00:29:05.47
And we can go back to
the seven dispensations
00:29:05.51\00:29:09.08
of all the churches,
00:29:09.11\00:29:10.45
interesting we are
in the last church.
00:29:10.48\00:29:13.01
That's right. We are
in the Laodicean Church.
00:29:13.05\00:29:17.69
So that kind of tells
us what our job is here.
00:29:17.72\00:29:21.46
And what are the
last piece of furniture
00:29:21.49\00:29:23.83
that needs to
be restituted or...
00:29:23.86\00:29:27.86
Restore. Restore. Thank you.
00:29:27.90\00:29:29.26
You said Laodicean,
the lukewarm, and judgment.
00:29:29.30\00:29:33.60
That's right. Ain't that right?
00:29:33.64\00:29:35.14
That what it means by Laodicean.
00:29:35.17\00:29:36.50
So we're in that hour.
00:29:36.54\00:29:37.87
So, yeah, that this is
critical hour that we're in.
00:29:37.91\00:29:39.81
And I wanna jump to something
00:29:39.84\00:29:41.34
that both of these
two men were addressing,
00:29:41.38\00:29:44.01
and that is the
00:29:44.05\00:29:47.52
da-da-da-da-da, what was that?
00:29:47.55\00:29:49.88
Oh, the morning and the evening.
00:29:49.92\00:29:51.25
What was it talking about that.
00:29:51.29\00:29:52.85
Here it says, "In the
morning, we need his spirit
00:29:52.89\00:29:55.79
which is what you talked about,
00:29:55.82\00:29:57.26
we need the Spirit of
God if we're gonna shine
00:29:57.29\00:30:00.10
to direct us during the day."
00:30:00.13\00:30:02.16
I mean, there are so
many Christians today,
00:30:02.20\00:30:05.00
you know this, there
are only some Christians
00:30:05.03\00:30:07.84
are only
Christians during holidays.
00:30:07.87\00:30:10.27
They go to church.
00:30:10.31\00:30:11.64
And yet, they feel
like they're saved.
00:30:11.67\00:30:14.11
You know, other Christians,
it's just once a week,
00:30:14.14\00:30:16.81
or maybe twice a week,
00:30:16.85\00:30:18.51
three times a
week in some cases,
00:30:18.55\00:30:20.62
but they never open the Bible.
00:30:20.65\00:30:22.38
You know, the rest of the time
00:30:22.42\00:30:23.75
what are we
filling our minds up with,
00:30:23.79\00:30:25.12
we got these big boxes.
00:30:25.15\00:30:26.49
Now they're flat boxes
00:30:26.52\00:30:27.86
that hang on our
walls many times,
00:30:27.89\00:30:29.56
and we spend hour
after hour after hour,
00:30:29.59\00:30:33.03
watching these programs,
we become what we put in.
00:30:33.06\00:30:36.77
And so that candlestick
and Jesus or the high priest
00:30:36.80\00:30:41.27
going every morning
and putting in that oil
00:30:41.30\00:30:43.84
and getting that fire going,
00:30:43.87\00:30:45.47
and the same
thing in the evening
00:30:45.51\00:30:47.51
represents to us
what we need to be doing,
00:30:47.54\00:30:51.08
it's not turning on the TV,
it's not turning on the radio.
00:30:51.11\00:30:54.25
It's putting Him first.
00:30:54.28\00:30:56.35
All right. That's right.
00:30:56.38\00:30:57.72
It says, and that evening,
00:30:57.75\00:30:59.09
we need to
enlighten in our minds
00:30:59.12\00:31:00.76
to review the work...
00:31:00.79\00:31:02.76
This is so
interesting of the day
00:31:02.79\00:31:05.43
that we may detect,
excuse me, the flaws
00:31:05.46\00:31:09.10
and the dropped
threads of warp in our lives.
00:31:09.13\00:31:11.43
Yeah.
00:31:11.47\00:31:12.80
In other words,
you know, we stumble.
00:31:12.83\00:31:14.70
That's right.
00:31:14.74\00:31:16.07
And we make
mistakes, and a lot of times
00:31:16.10\00:31:18.67
it's still fresh
in our mind at night.
00:31:18.71\00:31:21.81
And we need to make
those right with God.
00:31:21.84\00:31:24.45
And that is a perfect time.
00:31:24.48\00:31:26.11
The trimming of the
lighting of the lamps
00:31:26.15\00:31:27.95
was a beautiful type
of the daily lesson for us
00:31:27.98\00:31:31.19
at this present time.
00:31:31.22\00:31:33.25
And then she goes
on to talk about that.
00:31:33.29\00:31:35.52
At the same time
the burnt offering
00:31:35.56\00:31:37.96
was going on in the courtyard,
00:31:37.99\00:31:39.93
the incense and the
burning of the lamps
00:31:39.96\00:31:42.33
and it says
what a wonderful type
00:31:42.36\00:31:45.17
that will never lose its beauty.
00:31:45.20\00:31:46.87
And when I read
that wonderful type,
00:31:46.90\00:31:49.64
what is
wonderful about an animal
00:31:49.67\00:31:52.17
burning to death out there.
00:31:52.21\00:31:54.54
I mean, that's how I felt,
00:31:54.58\00:31:55.91
I love animals maybe that's why,
00:31:55.94\00:31:57.35
you know, but then I read
this, the antitypical type.
00:31:57.38\00:32:01.25
All right. I
wanna share with you.
00:32:01.28\00:32:03.65
Whenever Ryan, Sister Chris,
00:32:03.69\00:32:07.89
Pastor Kenny, Brother JD,
00:32:07.92\00:32:10.33
whenever an
individual you at home,
00:32:10.36\00:32:13.50
will fulfill in his very soul,
00:32:13.53\00:32:16.53
the antitype of the
typical whole burnt offering,
00:32:16.56\00:32:20.70
here it is,
00:32:20.74\00:32:22.34
that is wholly
surrender himself to God.
00:32:22.37\00:32:26.51
Remember, the Bible
says we have to die.
00:32:26.54\00:32:28.44
We have to die
daily. That's right.
00:32:28.48\00:32:29.81
That's right. Amen.
00:32:29.84\00:32:31.18
That's what it was
teaching us place himself
00:32:31.21\00:32:33.01
in all that he
has upon the altar,
00:32:33.05\00:32:36.18
all that he has in the
time that we're living in.
00:32:36.22\00:32:39.55
This is present truth.
00:32:39.59\00:32:41.72
This is present truth, to
be consumed in God's service
00:32:41.76\00:32:45.29
as He directs.
00:32:45.33\00:32:46.96
That individual,
whether he be rich or poor,
00:32:47.00\00:32:49.66
learned or ignorant
00:32:49.70\00:32:51.13
will be covered with
the fragrant incense.
00:32:51.17\00:32:54.70
Oh, how
beautiful. Yeah, oh, mine.
00:32:54.74\00:32:56.50
The incense was
going at that time,
00:32:56.54\00:32:58.44
it will be covered
with His fragrant incense
00:32:58.47\00:33:01.11
of Christ's righteousness.
00:33:01.14\00:33:03.65
That's right. It's beautiful.
00:33:03.68\00:33:05.98
And his name will be enrolled
00:33:06.01\00:33:07.82
in the church of
the firstborn in heaven.
00:33:07.85\00:33:10.05
And here in the
sin cursed earth.
00:33:10.09\00:33:13.76
As he goes to and
fro, he will be a part
00:33:13.79\00:33:16.79
of the great candlestick
00:33:16.83\00:33:18.73
and from his life will
shine out the bright rays
00:33:18.76\00:33:22.73
of the Spirit of God.
00:33:22.76\00:33:25.23
Brothers and sisters,
we cannot fully reflect
00:33:25.27\00:33:31.04
Christ character.
00:33:31.07\00:33:32.41
We cannot unless we're
filled with the Spirit of God
00:33:32.44\00:33:35.54
and we cannot get it
00:33:35.58\00:33:37.28
unless we're taking that morning
00:33:37.31\00:33:39.25
and that evening.
00:33:39.28\00:33:40.62
And we are submitting
and committing ourselves
00:33:40.65\00:33:43.69
as a sacrifice.
00:33:43.72\00:33:45.05
Absolutely, you know,
00:33:45.09\00:33:46.42
I just wanted as
you reading that...
00:33:46.45\00:33:48.62
Thoughts are coming.
00:33:48.66\00:33:49.99
I was saying here
my wheels are turning.
00:33:50.03\00:33:51.53
Praise God. What's amazing?
00:33:51.56\00:33:53.43
And I just wanna
state this for the record
00:33:53.46\00:33:55.36
for those who
are watching at home.
00:33:55.40\00:33:58.60
You know, there's a lot
of people, Brother Kenny,
00:33:58.63\00:34:00.37
they're trying
to take a giant leap
00:34:00.40\00:34:05.57
directly into
the most holy place
00:34:05.61\00:34:07.98
without first having
been through the holy place.
00:34:08.01\00:34:10.41
Oh, yes. Oh, yes.
00:34:10.45\00:34:12.28
There are so many people
that are trying to, you know,
00:34:12.31\00:34:15.38
where we're living in this
antitypical Day of Atonement.
00:34:15.42\00:34:18.12
We all wanna have a
most holy place experience
00:34:18.15\00:34:20.52
and we should, that's the goal.
00:34:20.56\00:34:22.22
This whole sanctuary
experience is leading us
00:34:22.26\00:34:25.39
to the ultimate experience
00:34:25.43\00:34:26.80
of being able to
walk past that veil
00:34:26.83\00:34:29.23
right into the
direct presence of God
00:34:29.26\00:34:31.20
and not perish, you know,
00:34:31.23\00:34:33.07
because we want
those sins blotted out,
00:34:33.10\00:34:35.14
we want them
purged out of our life.
00:34:35.17\00:34:37.01
But there's a lot
of people that again,
00:34:37.04\00:34:38.44
are trying to have
00:34:38.47\00:34:39.81
a most holy place
experience in their life.
00:34:39.84\00:34:41.81
And they haven't even
had a holy place experience.
00:34:41.84\00:34:43.45
There you go.
00:34:43.48\00:34:44.81
But then I wanna take
it back a little further.
00:34:44.85\00:34:46.18
There's a lot of
people that are trying to
00:34:46.21\00:34:47.95
as Christ would say, he said,
00:34:47.98\00:34:49.32
you know, there's people
trying to climb up another way.
00:34:49.35\00:34:52.62
Oh, yeah.
00:34:52.65\00:34:53.99
But he's considered
them a thief or a robber.
00:34:54.02\00:34:55.76
There's a lot of people
00:34:55.79\00:34:57.13
that they
haven't entered the door.
00:34:57.16\00:34:58.76
They haven't
entered through Christ first
00:34:58.79\00:35:00.93
and therefore
they've went to the,
00:35:00.96\00:35:02.36
perhaps the side of or
the back of the sanctuary
00:35:02.40\00:35:04.27
and they're trying
to take a direct leap
00:35:04.30\00:35:06.97
right into the holy place
and start through experience,
00:35:07.00\00:35:10.21
you want Bible study each
day and trying to, you know,
00:35:10.24\00:35:13.31
white-knuckle their ways
00:35:13.34\00:35:14.68
through having a
Holy Spirit experience.
00:35:14.71\00:35:17.35
But they have not
spent time at the door
00:35:17.38\00:35:20.12
and in the courtyard.
00:35:20.15\00:35:21.48
That's right.
00:35:21.52\00:35:22.85
Don't think
you're trying to thought,
00:35:22.88\00:35:24.22
but that reminds me of
the man that wanted to buy.
00:35:24.25\00:35:25.72
Right. Oh.
00:35:25.75\00:35:27.09
Yeah. Yeah.
00:35:27.12\00:35:28.46
But what the
disciples were doing.
00:35:28.49\00:35:29.82
But you have them to buy.
00:35:29.86\00:35:31.19
He says I want to buy
what you have those miracles,
00:35:31.23\00:35:32.56
same thing.
00:35:32.59\00:35:33.93
Yes. Absolutely.
00:35:33.96\00:35:35.30
And so, I just want
to for the sake of this
00:35:35.33\00:35:36.67
whole study that we're doing.
00:35:36.70\00:35:38.23
It's amazing how, if
you really consider like,
00:35:38.27\00:35:41.17
I believe all the
articles of furniture
00:35:41.20\00:35:42.94
are vitally important,
equally in their own way.
00:35:42.97\00:35:45.64
Yes.
00:35:45.67\00:35:47.01
But if you had to place
probably an importance on one
00:35:47.04\00:35:49.58
more than the other,
00:35:49.61\00:35:50.95
you will find through the
entire sanctuary experience
00:35:50.98\00:35:53.18
on a daily basis,
00:35:53.21\00:35:54.55
and especially on
the Day of Atonement,
00:35:54.58\00:35:56.05
that yearly experience.
00:35:56.08\00:35:58.29
Everything was
ministered to and from,
00:35:58.32\00:36:01.92
from the perspective
of the altar of sacrifice.
00:36:01.96\00:36:06.36
Yes.
00:36:06.39\00:36:07.73
You could not, the men
00:36:07.76\00:36:09.10
that the specific instructions
that God gave the priesthood,
00:36:09.13\00:36:13.00
when they were to
minister in the holy place,
00:36:13.03\00:36:15.14
they could not access
or go into a holy place
00:36:15.17\00:36:17.51
without first
ministering at the altar.
00:36:17.54\00:36:19.17
That's right.
00:36:19.21\00:36:20.54
And so we know that
altar of burnt sacrifice
00:36:20.58\00:36:22.71
points to Christ sacrifice,
00:36:22.74\00:36:24.38
I believe we should
always remind ourselves that,
00:36:24.41\00:36:27.42
you know what, you can
read your Bibles all day long.
00:36:27.45\00:36:29.45
That's right.
00:36:29.48\00:36:30.82
And that's great
and all, but, you know,
00:36:30.85\00:36:32.19
if you have not had
00:36:32.22\00:36:33.56
a personal
experience with Christ
00:36:33.59\00:36:34.92
at the foot of the cross.
00:36:34.96\00:36:36.29
That's right. That's right.
00:36:36.32\00:36:37.66
Then you've
missed the whole point.
00:36:37.69\00:36:39.03
Because if you're trying to
keep the commandments of God,
00:36:39.06\00:36:40.40
or you're trying to
become a Bible scholar,
00:36:40.43\00:36:41.76
or you're trying to allow
your, you're trying to become
00:36:41.80\00:36:43.50
the best
evangelist in the world,
00:36:43.53\00:36:45.30
and you're
trying to go out there
00:36:45.33\00:36:46.67
and let your light
shine as bright as it can be,
00:36:46.70\00:36:48.20
but, you know what,
00:36:48.24\00:36:49.57
it's not gonna be
as bright as it can be
00:36:49.60\00:36:50.94
if you're not looking
at it from the perspective
00:36:50.97\00:36:52.57
at the foot of the cross.
00:36:52.61\00:36:53.94
And so, you know,
you go through this
00:36:53.98\00:36:55.31
whole sanctuary experience,
even on the Day of Atonement,
00:36:55.34\00:36:57.71
we're about to get
into the most holy place.
00:36:57.75\00:37:01.48
Aaron, as the high priest
could not access the holy place
00:37:01.52\00:37:04.79
if he had not first
stopped and made a sacrifice
00:37:04.82\00:37:06.99
at the altar of burnt offerings.
00:37:07.02\00:37:08.36
Yes.
00:37:08.39\00:37:09.72
So in other
words, it was almost like
00:37:09.76\00:37:11.09
the father was
saying, hold on, Aaron,
00:37:11.13\00:37:12.46
you got to come in My presence.
00:37:12.49\00:37:13.83
When you come in my presence,
00:37:13.86\00:37:15.20
I'm gonna take you back
here to the foot of the cross.
00:37:15.23\00:37:17.07
You need to spend
some time with Jesus.
00:37:17.10\00:37:18.43
Or some people say,
00:37:18.47\00:37:19.80
look Jesus is making the
sacrifice for the people.
00:37:19.83\00:37:21.17
Right.
00:37:21.20\00:37:22.54
But he had to make a
sacrifice for Himself.
00:37:22.57\00:37:23.91
First. Yes.
00:37:23.94\00:37:25.27
You think "Well, he's a priest.
He shouldn't have any problem."
00:37:25.31\00:37:26.64
Right. No.
00:37:26.68\00:37:28.01
And again, I just
wanna make this point
00:37:28.04\00:37:29.78
'cause as you're talking,
it's like the Holy Spirit
00:37:29.81\00:37:31.58
is impressing upon my
mind 'cause you were saying,
00:37:31.61\00:37:34.58
you were lifting up
that altar of sacrifice,
00:37:34.62\00:37:36.65
the thief on the cross.
00:37:36.69\00:37:38.02
That's right.
00:37:38.05\00:37:39.39
That's where he
surrendered himself.
00:37:39.42\00:37:41.29
That's right. And so
right then and there...
00:37:41.32\00:37:43.86
He was a condemned sinner
00:37:43.89\00:37:45.23
until he had
climbed at the cross.
00:37:45.26\00:37:46.96
Yes.
00:37:47.00\00:37:48.33
And so it's just
normally important
00:37:48.36\00:37:49.70
before we continue on.
00:37:49.73\00:37:51.33
I was speaking to
you guys about this
00:37:51.37\00:37:52.77
as we were preparing for this.
00:37:52.80\00:37:54.14
It's so ironic,
that during this time,
00:37:54.17\00:37:56.30
God would raise up
this man John Wesley.
00:37:56.34\00:37:58.17
Now John Wesley and
his brother Charles Wesley
00:37:58.21\00:38:00.21
were powerful men of
God, powerful evangelists.
00:38:00.24\00:38:03.11
They believed in evangelism.
00:38:03.14\00:38:04.48
They believe in preaching,
00:38:04.51\00:38:06.05
and they believed
in that commission,
00:38:06.08\00:38:07.48
they lived and
breathed that divine commission
00:38:07.52\00:38:09.85
that Christ had
given in Matthew 28,
00:38:09.88\00:38:11.82
"Go ye therefore,
into all the nations."
00:38:11.85\00:38:14.06
And so they believed in that,
00:38:14.09\00:38:16.22
but it's interesting that
during the lifespan of Charles
00:38:16.26\00:38:19.29
and John Wesley,
00:38:19.33\00:38:21.80
as well as all
of the other people
00:38:21.83\00:38:23.77
who embraced this
concept of evangelism,
00:38:23.80\00:38:26.13
you know, the devil
hates the sanctuary.
00:38:26.17\00:38:28.17
He hates this message,
00:38:28.20\00:38:29.54
as we know that
he was trying to,
00:38:29.57\00:38:30.97
obviously he tried to take
away as Daniel Chapter 8 says,
00:38:31.01\00:38:34.18
"Cast down and
pervert and try to skew
00:38:34.21\00:38:37.25
and misrepresent the
message of the sanctuary.
00:38:37.28\00:38:40.85
We see him also
trying to double attack
00:38:40.88\00:38:43.65
this message of the candlestick.
00:38:43.69\00:38:45.79
And it's interesting.
00:38:45.82\00:38:47.16
It's ironic that
during the time of John Wesley
00:38:47.19\00:38:48.72
in the 1700s time period,
if you study your history,
00:38:48.76\00:38:51.46
this is what in
history is called, get it,
00:38:51.49\00:38:54.10
the Enlightenment period,
the era of enlightenment,
00:38:54.13\00:38:58.33
this is when the
devil decided, oh, oh,
00:38:58.37\00:39:00.27
this what the Lord is gonna try
to replace that bright light.
00:39:00.30\00:39:03.24
Well, I'm gonna try
to blow that light out,
00:39:03.27\00:39:05.47
by trying to get people
away from the scripture.
00:39:05.51\00:39:07.54
That's right.
00:39:07.58\00:39:08.91
Come up with man-made theories
and ideas and philosophy.
00:39:08.94\00:39:11.18
It was the age of
personal philosophies,
00:39:11.21\00:39:13.68
the age of personal ideology,
where people begin to create
00:39:13.72\00:39:17.59
this ultra liberal
perspective to life
00:39:17.62\00:39:20.09
and overthink everything
00:39:20.12\00:39:21.89
and think that the
power of the human mind
00:39:21.92\00:39:23.76
was so far beyond
00:39:23.79\00:39:25.36
what the Word of
God had to offer,
00:39:25.39\00:39:27.86
that the devil
was trying his best
00:39:27.90\00:39:30.10
to blow that candlestick out
00:39:30.13\00:39:32.47
that John
Wesley and his brothers
00:39:32.50\00:39:34.37
and all the other
church was trying to reignite
00:39:34.40\00:39:37.01
and relied,
00:39:37.04\00:39:38.37
but they were
not able to prevail.
00:39:38.41\00:39:39.74
No.
00:39:39.77\00:39:41.11
Because the Lord, He put
a stop to that real quick,
00:39:41.14\00:39:44.75
and the Word of God was
able to be amplified out of this
00:39:44.78\00:39:48.35
through the production,
00:39:48.38\00:39:49.72
in the mass
production of the Bible.
00:39:49.75\00:39:51.75
And, you know, the
Bible, a lamp unto my feet
00:39:51.79\00:39:53.72
and a light into my path.
00:39:53.76\00:39:55.09
Amen. It wasn't
enlightenment period.
00:39:55.12\00:39:57.26
Even to the simplicity of
the song that we just sang.
00:39:57.29\00:39:59.76
Yes. Yes.
00:39:59.79\00:40:01.60
That Satan is
trying to blow the lights
00:40:01.63\00:40:03.16
and we're all setting here.
00:40:03.20\00:40:04.53
No. That's right. No.
00:40:04.57\00:40:05.90
I'm gonna saying no.
00:40:05.93\00:40:07.27
But just think of
that oil, the Holy Spirit.
00:40:07.30\00:40:09.44
It didn't just
manifest itself as a tree.
00:40:09.47\00:40:13.17
And you just
bring in a jug of oil
00:40:13.21\00:40:15.48
and pour it in there.
00:40:15.51\00:40:16.85
It had to start
from infancy also.
00:40:16.88\00:40:18.21
That's right.
00:40:18.25\00:40:19.58
So each one of us, you
don't, I think that I'm a baby.
00:40:19.61\00:40:23.95
I think I wanna
be a brain surgeon
00:40:23.99\00:40:26.29
without going
to the first grade,
00:40:26.32\00:40:28.69
junior high, high school,
00:40:28.72\00:40:31.16
so I mean, life
itself is progression.
00:40:31.19\00:40:35.33
It says we're seeing
right here, you know,
00:40:35.36\00:40:37.37
so the big scheme of life
00:40:37.40\00:40:39.47
is that God does
have a plan for us.
00:40:39.50\00:40:41.24
Yes, He does.
00:40:41.27\00:40:42.60
Many times we try this,
00:40:42.64\00:40:44.41
we wanna ride a motorcycle
before we ride the bicycle.
00:40:44.44\00:40:46.81
That's right. Yes.
00:40:46.84\00:40:48.18
Or the scooter,
you know, so mean,
00:40:48.21\00:40:50.98
it's very, very practical
00:40:51.01\00:40:52.35
if you can just
bring this, you know...
00:40:52.38\00:40:53.72
That's right Absolutely.
00:40:53.75\00:40:55.22
If you'll get
off your high horse,
00:40:55.25\00:40:57.02
you just say
00:40:57.05\00:40:58.52
and start with
Bible study one on one.
00:40:58.55\00:41:04.43
That's right. Amen.
00:41:04.46\00:41:06.06
And speaking of high horse,
00:41:06.09\00:41:07.43
it goes back to
that altar of sacrifice
00:41:07.46\00:41:10.47
'cause as you were talking
00:41:10.50\00:41:11.83
and explaining all these things,
00:41:11.87\00:41:13.20
and philosophies and
the mind and da-da da-da,
00:41:13.23\00:41:15.57
I thought, you know,
00:41:15.60\00:41:16.94
it goes back to
what we just read.
00:41:16.97\00:41:19.24
If we submit
and commit our lives
00:41:19.27\00:41:21.58
and our hearts
to the Holy Spirit,
00:41:21.61\00:41:23.45
we die in that altar of
sacrifice, self is gone.
00:41:23.48\00:41:27.38
And that's what
God is looking for.
00:41:27.42\00:41:29.45
He's looking for vessels
of honor in which He can use.
00:41:29.48\00:41:32.92
That's right. Amen.
00:41:32.95\00:41:34.29
You know, we're
not all puffed up
00:41:34.32\00:41:35.76
by what we say or how we sing
00:41:35.79\00:41:38.59
or what we look like
because self is now dead.
00:41:38.63\00:41:41.43
And it's Christ that's living in
00:41:41.46\00:41:43.26
and through each
and every one of us.
00:41:43.30\00:41:45.03
You know, one thing I
thought it was interesting
00:41:45.07\00:41:46.90
'cause I think you mentioned
might be pride or puffed up,
00:41:46.94\00:41:49.57
you mentioned puffed
up, I think you might.
00:41:49.60\00:41:51.54
And I remember one
time I had a dream.
00:41:51.57\00:41:54.71
I have to share that dream.
00:41:54.74\00:41:56.18
And, you know,
when you're speaking
00:41:56.21\00:41:58.21
or you're
having Sabbath service,
00:41:58.25\00:41:59.91
whatever it is,
Pastor, we should pray,
00:41:59.95\00:42:02.25
well not only
what the flock needs
00:42:02.28\00:42:03.75
but what we need.
00:42:03.79\00:42:05.12
I always pray Lord,
what do Your children need?
00:42:05.15\00:42:07.39
What do I need?
00:42:07.42\00:42:08.82
And so I prayed that
one night I said, Lord,
00:42:08.86\00:42:10.73
what is it that
the church people need?
00:42:10.76\00:42:13.13
You know, where I'm gonna
be and what is it that I need?
00:42:13.16\00:42:16.13
And so all of a
sudden I went to dream,
00:42:16.16\00:42:19.57
all of a sudden I will
stand up in the pulpit,
00:42:19.60\00:42:21.47
you know, you have a preaching,
00:42:21.50\00:42:23.27
you know, preaching
away, that's pretty.
00:42:23.30\00:42:25.41
And I looked around I thought,
00:42:25.44\00:42:27.08
"Well, where did everybody go?"
00:42:27.11\00:42:30.05
There's no one here.
00:42:30.08\00:42:31.51
I had a whole church
for now they're all gone.
00:42:31.55\00:42:33.92
I thought I'd better go out
and see what's happened here.
00:42:33.95\00:42:35.95
Maybe, you know,
so I don't know what.
00:42:35.98\00:42:37.72
So like, I'm in the
pulpit and I start going down
00:42:37.75\00:42:41.26
each of the pews.
00:42:41.29\00:42:43.63
All I see is a bunch
of babies with pacifiers.
00:42:43.66\00:42:47.70
Everyone in that pew I
thought, "What is this?"
00:42:47.73\00:42:50.57
So I went to the next one
and I thought, "What is this?"
00:42:50.60\00:42:53.80
Lord, I was praying,
what did the people need?
00:42:53.84\00:42:56.07
'Cause we're talking
about not getting to,
00:42:56.10\00:42:57.44
you know, we got to
go through Christ first
00:42:57.47\00:43:00.08
to things
together, get on the milk.
00:43:00.11\00:43:01.44
Absolutely.
00:43:01.48\00:43:02.81
And so I went down to
all the end of the church
00:43:02.84\00:43:04.71
and I looked at
what in this world
00:43:04.75\00:43:06.75
has happened?
00:43:06.78\00:43:08.12
Everyone is
babies with pacifiers.
00:43:08.15\00:43:10.39
That's right.
00:43:10.42\00:43:12.45
And I looked down at
myself. And you were a baby.
00:43:12.49\00:43:15.09
I was on my knees and
I had another pacifier
00:43:15.12\00:43:17.69
around my neck and
my little diaper on.
00:43:17.73\00:43:19.63
Oh, wow.
00:43:19.66\00:43:21.06
Oh, wow. Right here.
00:43:21.10\00:43:22.43
Well, what a
lesson. That's right.
00:43:22.46\00:43:24.90
You know, it was, I'm
looking at everybody else.
00:43:24.93\00:43:26.94
And just like they
are I needed extra help.
00:43:26.97\00:43:30.91
And the Lord is saying
00:43:30.94\00:43:32.27
this is where you need to start.
00:43:32.31\00:43:33.64
So were you guys talking about,
you've been talking about.
00:43:33.68\00:43:36.58
You start with
Christ, you start at the door,
00:43:36.61\00:43:39.31
you start at the
altar of sacrifice.
00:43:39.35\00:43:40.82
Right, right. Absolutely.
00:43:40.85\00:43:42.18
You know, and then
everything else just explodes.
00:43:42.22\00:43:45.02
You know, from that point on,
00:43:45.05\00:43:46.39
once you accept Jesus
as your Lord and Savior,
00:43:46.42\00:43:48.86
then all these
other things just say,
00:43:48.89\00:43:50.83
I've talked to people
well, I accepted Jesus,
00:43:50.86\00:43:53.16
you know, I'm gonna,
but all the other things
00:43:53.19\00:43:55.33
are opened up to us then.
00:43:55.36\00:43:56.97
We're accepting there and then
00:43:57.00\00:43:58.37
all these other
things from Bible study.
00:43:58.40\00:44:00.24
And I've often
said this, three things.
00:44:00.27\00:44:02.00
If you do three things,
you will never backslide.
00:44:02.04\00:44:04.41
Come on.
00:44:04.44\00:44:05.77
You will never backslide,
00:44:05.81\00:44:07.14
you will never
leave the presence of God,
00:44:07.18\00:44:09.14
if we do simple three things.
00:44:09.18\00:44:10.51
And that's simple
in the holy place.
00:44:10.55\00:44:12.41
If you study the
Word of God, and you pray,
00:44:12.45\00:44:14.52
and you let your light shine,
if you keep those three going,
00:44:14.55\00:44:17.55
you will never backslide.
00:44:17.59\00:44:19.32
If you let one of
them go, you will.
00:44:19.35\00:44:21.19
Thy way O God is
through the sanctuary.
00:44:21.22\00:44:23.02
Each part is teaching us.
00:44:23.06\00:44:24.63
It is. Each part.
00:44:24.66\00:44:25.99
And there's a part that
we didn't mention earlier
00:44:26.03\00:44:27.86
that I read about it
says that the candlestick,
00:44:27.90\00:44:30.23
the gold had to be beaten.
00:44:30.27\00:44:31.60
Come on, now.
00:44:31.63\00:44:32.97
Because of the
seven bowls and the lamps
00:44:33.00\00:44:34.60
were example of the
shadow of heavenly things.
00:44:34.64\00:44:37.91
And I thought, you know,
00:44:37.94\00:44:39.41
how could that
be an example to me,
00:44:39.44\00:44:41.14
and as I
continued to read down here,
00:44:41.18\00:44:43.35
it is because it
is only the master
00:44:43.38\00:44:46.38
workman fashioning you
00:44:46.41\00:44:47.95
to become a part
of the great church
00:44:47.98\00:44:51.15
enrolled in heaven.
00:44:51.19\00:44:52.85
So, you know,
sometimes we feel that heat,
00:44:52.89\00:44:55.69
we feel that beating, and
it's like, how can I go on,
00:44:55.72\00:44:59.33
and we become discouraged.
00:44:59.36\00:45:01.23
And we forget that it is
God that's giving us this light.
00:45:01.26\00:45:04.53
That's right. It is His spirit.
00:45:04.57\00:45:05.90
It is His power
that is empowering us.
00:45:05.93\00:45:08.17
And we have to
learn to lean on Him.
00:45:08.20\00:45:11.21
The Church of
Christ is the candlestick
00:45:11.24\00:45:13.51
to hold up the light.
00:45:13.54\00:45:15.28
Listen to this, in the
midst of moral darkness.
00:45:15.31\00:45:18.25
And I know there's
been moral darkness
00:45:18.28\00:45:21.62
throughout all of history.
00:45:21.65\00:45:23.99
But I don't know it just,
you know, we've heard for years
00:45:24.02\00:45:26.92
that the Spirit of God would
be repressed from the earth.
00:45:26.96\00:45:30.09
We're pushing Him out.
00:45:30.13\00:45:31.79
And it just, you feel it.
00:45:31.83\00:45:34.03
That's right.
Things are not the same.
00:45:34.06\00:45:35.66
You don't even have to be a
Christian anymore to realize
00:45:35.70\00:45:38.67
that there is moral problems
and things are different.
00:45:38.70\00:45:42.70
Something is about to
happen, something is happening
00:45:42.74\00:45:45.87
and what does God want us to do.
00:45:45.91\00:45:47.61
It reads on, it says and
this again is in the Cross
00:45:47.64\00:45:50.28
and Its Shadow, it says,
00:45:50.31\00:45:51.65
"The Savior says ye
are the light of the world
00:45:51.68\00:45:54.68
The Spirit of the Lord
is said to be the eyes.
00:45:54.72\00:45:57.75
This is another study too.
00:45:57.79\00:45:59.29
The eyes of the
Lord which run to and fro
00:45:59.32\00:46:01.99
throughout the earth
strongly to hold them.
00:46:02.02\00:46:05.49
He's holding us,
00:46:05.53\00:46:07.83
them whose heart is
perfect toward him."
00:46:07.86\00:46:10.07
That's 2 Chronicles
16:9, if you wanna read it,
00:46:10.10\00:46:13.70
"Then the
brightness of our light."
00:46:13.74\00:46:16.30
Now listen to this.
00:46:16.34\00:46:17.84
"The brightness of our light
00:46:17.87\00:46:20.34
depends upon the
condition of our heart."
00:46:20.38\00:46:25.35
And our hearts
will not be conditioned
00:46:25.38\00:46:27.25
if we're not
studying, eating that bread.
00:46:27.28\00:46:30.52
If we're not
praying that incense,
00:46:30.55\00:46:33.99
and if we're not
allowing the Lord
00:46:34.02\00:46:36.09
to allow to shine
His light through us.
00:46:36.12\00:46:38.26
So what is that?
00:46:38.29\00:46:39.63
Brother Ryan, you had that,
00:46:39.66\00:46:41.00
we got
seven-branched candlestick,
00:46:41.03\00:46:44.40
does that not represent,
is this Revelation 4:5?
00:46:44.43\00:46:47.64
The seven
spirits? The seven spirits?
00:46:47.67\00:46:49.70
Seven spirits of God.
00:46:49.74\00:46:51.41
You talked about here?
Yes, seven spirits of God.
00:46:51.44\00:46:55.28
When the Holy Spirit
is working in your life.
00:46:55.31\00:46:58.01
And I'm talking to genuine,
obviously, because, you know,
00:46:58.05\00:47:00.25
there's the Spirit of God
00:47:00.28\00:47:01.62
and then there's
the spirit of the enemy.
00:47:01.65\00:47:02.98
And that's where John says,
00:47:03.02\00:47:04.35
test the spirits
if they are of God.
00:47:04.39\00:47:05.79
In fact, that
actually brings me to a point
00:47:05.82\00:47:07.82
that I think is
vitally important
00:47:07.86\00:47:09.42
that we consider
here for a moment.
00:47:09.46\00:47:12.19
Back to what I said earlier
and I just wanna clarify,
00:47:12.23\00:47:16.26
while everything
does need to be looked at,
00:47:16.30\00:47:18.70
studied and considered
from the light of the cross.
00:47:18.73\00:47:22.10
We also have
00:47:22.14\00:47:23.61
the other opposite
end of the spectrum
00:47:23.64\00:47:25.41
of those people who say,
00:47:25.44\00:47:26.78
"Well, I don't
think that it's necessary
00:47:26.81\00:47:29.38
that I have a
holy place experience
00:47:29.41\00:47:31.38
or I don't feel it's
necessary that I actually go
00:47:31.41\00:47:34.12
into the most holy place
00:47:34.15\00:47:35.48
and have a most
holy place experience."
00:47:35.52\00:47:37.65
They are gathered
around the foot of the cross,
00:47:37.69\00:47:39.75
and they're steady there.
00:47:39.79\00:47:41.12
They're staying there.
And they're not advancing.
00:47:41.16\00:47:43.46
And so you have these one group
00:47:43.49\00:47:44.83
who's trying to
climb up another way.
00:47:44.86\00:47:46.19
They're trying to
leap into the holy place,
00:47:46.23\00:47:48.20
the most holy
place, and they're not...
00:47:48.23\00:47:50.20
The whole point of the
matter is we need to have
00:47:50.23\00:47:51.83
a balanced approach.
00:47:51.87\00:47:53.94
And the truth of the matter is,
00:47:53.97\00:47:55.40
there's a movement
today that is seems to be
00:47:55.44\00:47:59.91
in both opposite
end of the spectrum.
00:47:59.94\00:48:01.84
But, you know,
00:48:01.88\00:48:03.21
talking about the
other part of the segment is,
00:48:03.24\00:48:06.18
you have these people
who are in the courtyard,
00:48:06.21\00:48:07.92
but they haven't
advanced into the holy place.
00:48:07.95\00:48:09.75
Yeah, come on.
00:48:09.78\00:48:11.42
And that is vitally important
because if you don't go
00:48:11.45\00:48:13.56
into the holy place,
00:48:13.59\00:48:14.92
you're not going to experience
the true light of God.
00:48:14.96\00:48:17.16
You're not going to have
that Holy Spirit's connection,
00:48:17.19\00:48:20.36
that Holy Spirit experience.
00:48:20.40\00:48:21.93
And, you know, the scripture
comes to my mind is this.
00:48:21.96\00:48:25.40
Since the 1700s,
that enlightenment spirit,
00:48:25.43\00:48:30.01
that liberal minded
spirit has continued on
00:48:30.04\00:48:33.64
even though it did not defeat
00:48:33.68\00:48:35.81
the power of the gospel,
00:48:35.84\00:48:37.18
even though it did not stamp out
00:48:37.21\00:48:38.68
the power of Jesus and
the message of the gospel,
00:48:38.71\00:48:41.08
the devil has
continued to use that spirit
00:48:41.12\00:48:44.19
of what they call
the enlightenment area,
00:48:44.22\00:48:45.99
you know, the man's philosophies
00:48:46.02\00:48:47.76
and theories and speculations,
00:48:47.79\00:48:49.89
the power of the
human mind to advance us
00:48:49.92\00:48:53.66
and we live in a day and age
00:48:53.70\00:48:55.03
where man has come to the point
00:48:55.06\00:48:56.40
where we think that,
00:48:56.43\00:48:57.80
you know, how
we perceive things,
00:48:57.83\00:48:59.60
how we interpret
things is the way
00:48:59.63\00:49:01.44
that we should be led.
00:49:01.47\00:49:02.80
Well, I feel like
this is the right way,
00:49:02.84\00:49:04.37
I feel like this.
00:49:04.41\00:49:05.74
Yes, yes.
00:49:05.77\00:49:07.11
And Jesus said, you know,
00:49:07.14\00:49:08.48
light and
darkness cannot coexist.
00:49:08.51\00:49:09.84
You know, one's gonna
have to give way to the other.
00:49:09.88\00:49:12.11
But there are Christians
00:49:12.15\00:49:13.48
and this is
what breaks my heart,
00:49:13.52\00:49:14.85
brothers and sisters.
00:49:14.88\00:49:17.55
There are Christians today
00:49:17.59\00:49:19.55
that are living out
the prophetic testimony
00:49:19.59\00:49:23.53
of what we find in 2
Thessalonians Chapter 2,
00:49:23.56\00:49:26.03
where Paul says,
00:49:26.06\00:49:27.40
"Let no one
deceive you by any means
00:49:27.43\00:49:28.86
for that day will not come
00:49:28.90\00:49:30.23
unless the
falling away comes first."
00:49:30.27\00:49:32.43
That word falling away
in the Greek is apostasy.
00:49:32.47\00:49:35.17
It's apostasy.
00:49:35.20\00:49:36.54
So you look at
the meaning of it.
00:49:36.57\00:49:37.91
It means a defection from truth,
00:49:37.94\00:49:39.34
to divorce yourself.
00:49:39.37\00:49:41.04
But the reality
is, is there's a people
00:49:41.08\00:49:44.15
that believe they
have the light of God.
00:49:44.18\00:49:46.25
Yeah.
00:49:46.28\00:49:47.62
But yet they're
living in darkness.
00:49:47.65\00:49:49.62
They believe
they're married to Christ,
00:49:49.65\00:49:51.55
but all the while
they've divorced Him.
00:49:51.59\00:49:53.72
They believe that
they have the truth,
00:49:53.76\00:49:55.56
and they're living
according to the truth.
00:49:55.59\00:49:57.06
But yet, they're not
having a holy place experience,
00:49:57.09\00:50:01.23
they're not even headed
00:50:01.26\00:50:02.60
in the direction of a
most holy place experience,
00:50:02.63\00:50:04.27
but they're deceived
into believing that they are.
00:50:04.30\00:50:06.27
And we have to address
the fact with humbleness,
00:50:06.30\00:50:09.34
with love, but with truthfulness
00:50:09.37\00:50:11.47
and boldness and the fact
that we start at the cross,
00:50:11.51\00:50:14.98
we move forward,
00:50:15.01\00:50:16.34
everything is in
light of the cross.
00:50:16.38\00:50:17.71
When we go into the holy
place, we're still, you know,
00:50:17.75\00:50:20.65
it's amazing in the Bible,
00:50:20.68\00:50:22.02
before they can minister
00:50:22.05\00:50:23.39
amongst the
seven-branched candlestick,
00:50:23.42\00:50:24.75
they would first go out
to the altar of incense,
00:50:24.79\00:50:26.96
take a shovel of coals,
bring it into the altar,
00:50:26.99\00:50:30.39
excuse me, the
altar of sacrifice,
00:50:30.43\00:50:31.93
take the shovel, the clothes
00:50:31.96\00:50:33.29
from the altar of
sacrifice in the courtyard,
00:50:33.33\00:50:34.83
bring it into the holy place,
put it on the altar of incense,
00:50:34.86\00:50:37.83
where they would
offer up the incense
00:50:37.87\00:50:39.20
which will represent
00:50:39.23\00:50:40.57
the prayerful
life of a Christian,
00:50:40.60\00:50:41.94
all the while
feeling and making sure
00:50:41.97\00:50:44.24
that the oil was
replenished and restored.
00:50:44.27\00:50:47.48
All of it is interconnected,
00:50:47.51\00:50:48.98
you can't have
one without the other.
00:50:49.01\00:50:50.55
And having them
married. Absolutely.
00:50:50.58\00:50:52.05
What you're
explaining is what we were told
00:50:52.08\00:50:54.78
when we get into our next study,
00:50:54.82\00:50:57.05
which would be part five.
00:50:57.09\00:50:58.69
When we get into
the Ark of the Covenant,
00:50:58.72\00:51:00.19
we're moving from the
holy to the most holy,
00:51:00.22\00:51:02.49
but what you're talking about
00:51:02.52\00:51:03.86
those Christians
that you're referring to,
00:51:03.89\00:51:06.63
they are stuck
in the holy place...
00:51:06.66\00:51:08.13
They're not advancing. The
sanctuary is a progressive.
00:51:08.16\00:51:10.33
That's right. It's progressive.
00:51:10.37\00:51:11.70
But their prayers sometimes
appear to be answerable.
00:51:11.73\00:51:13.94
But we're told that
00:51:13.97\00:51:15.30
it's not the Spirit of God
that's answering those prayers.
00:51:15.34\00:51:17.27
That's right. It's the enemy.
00:51:17.31\00:51:18.64
So we're to, you
know. Christ has left.
00:51:18.67\00:51:20.34
That's right. Yes.
00:51:20.38\00:51:21.71
And we are warned in Revelation
00:51:21.74\00:51:23.08
that there would be
fire even come down to here,
00:51:23.11\00:51:24.85
many miracles will happen.
00:51:24.88\00:51:26.25
So it's confusing.
00:51:26.28\00:51:27.62
The only way we can know
what truth is, is studying,
00:51:27.65\00:51:29.95
and we have to go
from the holy place
00:51:29.98\00:51:32.19
and move into
the most holy place.
00:51:32.22\00:51:34.89
All of God's blessings
are on condition of obedience.
00:51:34.92\00:51:38.96
And what most churches do,
00:51:38.99\00:51:40.63
they're throwing out
obedience, grace, love...
00:51:40.66\00:51:42.66
We need to be
where Christ is at.
00:51:42.70\00:51:44.73
Isn't that right?
We need be with Christ.
00:51:44.77\00:51:46.87
He always said, what? Follow Me.
00:51:46.90\00:51:49.00
In the Testimonies,
00:51:49.04\00:51:50.37
Mrs. White as she saw the vision
00:51:50.41\00:51:53.14
of the holy place,
00:51:53.17\00:51:55.11
and all these people were bowed
00:51:55.14\00:51:56.88
before the throne of God.
00:51:56.91\00:51:58.71
But the true genuine Christians
kept their eyes fixed on Jesus
00:51:58.75\00:52:02.58
who was seated on the throne.
00:52:02.62\00:52:04.59
But there she
saw how Jesus got up
00:52:04.62\00:52:06.35
from the throne and
He walked over to a door
00:52:06.39\00:52:08.59
that the Father had
open, and He entered that door,
00:52:08.62\00:52:11.76
which obviously would be
into the most holy place.
00:52:11.79\00:52:13.63
Yes.
00:52:13.66\00:52:15.00
And those who kept
their eyes on Christ,
00:52:15.03\00:52:17.57
they followed Him
into the most holy place
00:52:17.60\00:52:20.14
and get this,
that group of people
00:52:20.17\00:52:22.00
that was bowed at the throne
00:52:22.04\00:52:24.21
who did not have
their eyes on Christ,
00:52:24.24\00:52:26.68
they were bowed
before the throne,
00:52:26.71\00:52:28.21
they were having a
holy place experience,
00:52:28.24\00:52:30.55
but they did not
have their eyes on Christ.
00:52:30.58\00:52:32.15
And so she said, she
saw Satan come and sit
00:52:32.18\00:52:35.88
in that throne
in the holy place.
00:52:35.92\00:52:38.79
And they were
offering up prayers and praises
00:52:38.82\00:52:40.96
and worship.
00:52:40.99\00:52:42.32
And a light, she said,
saw go out from Lucifer
00:52:42.36\00:52:45.26
to those and they were
deceived into believing
00:52:45.29\00:52:47.10
that they were worshiping Christ
00:52:47.13\00:52:48.46
when they were
worshipping Satan.
00:52:48.50\00:52:49.83
Because they had a feeling,
00:52:49.86\00:52:51.60
they were working on
emotions and feeling,
00:52:51.63\00:52:54.17
and the enemy would breath
00:52:54.20\00:52:55.77
and he can give
feelings and emotions.
00:52:55.80\00:52:57.54
We need something
based on the Word of God.
00:52:57.57\00:52:59.44
Everything in the sanctuary,
00:52:59.47\00:53:00.88
Satan has
duplicated as a counterfeit.
00:53:00.91\00:53:03.88
So we're talking about the
seven-branched candlestick.
00:53:03.91\00:53:06.35
The true light of Christ
is what we're searching for.
00:53:06.38\00:53:08.88
But the Bible says that
Lucifer is an angel of light,
00:53:08.92\00:53:12.12
and he also wants to
share a light with you.
00:53:12.15\00:53:14.42
He wants to be worshipped.
00:53:14.46\00:53:15.79
But you have to
test the spirits,
00:53:15.82\00:53:17.16
whether they are of God.
00:53:17.19\00:53:18.53
Two little quotes on
Counsels on Stewardship,
00:53:18.56\00:53:19.89
I'm gonna read
'cause this is exactly what
00:53:19.93\00:53:21.36
everyone's been
saying right here.
00:53:21.40\00:53:23.10
It says, "Satan is striving,"
00:53:23.13\00:53:24.63
Counsels on
Stewardship, page 10,
00:53:24.67\00:53:26.33
"Satan is striving continually
to bring fanciful suppositions
00:53:26.37\00:53:30.71
regarding the sanctuary."
00:53:30.74\00:53:32.67
And then this one here
that's on page 11, same book.
00:53:32.71\00:53:35.81
"In the future," it says,
00:53:35.84\00:53:37.18
"deception of
every kind is to arise,
00:53:37.21\00:53:39.78
we want solid
ground for our feet."
00:53:39.81\00:53:43.02
Now notice this,
"Such as the doctrine
00:53:43.05\00:53:46.05
that there is no sanctuary,"
that's what he is going to do,
00:53:46.09\00:53:49.19
"the enemy will
bring in false theories."
00:53:49.22\00:53:51.29
What?
00:53:51.33\00:53:52.66
"There's no such
thing as the sanctuary."
00:53:52.69\00:53:54.26
Notice this, "This
is one of the points
00:53:54.30\00:53:56.50
on which there will be a
departing from the faith."
00:53:56.53\00:53:59.67
And this has been a departing
from a lot of folks of faith,
00:53:59.70\00:54:03.24
of whether there's
even two apartments,
00:54:03.27\00:54:05.41
you know, holy
and most holy place.
00:54:05.44\00:54:07.38
You know, simple
in the Word of God.
00:54:07.41\00:54:08.98
That's right.
There's two places.
00:54:09.01\00:54:10.71
And it's very, you know,
clear that Christ made a move.
00:54:10.75\00:54:14.05
And, you know,
you have prophecies
00:54:14.08\00:54:15.42
that were that like,
00:54:15.45\00:54:16.79
say he moved from
one place to the other.
00:54:16.82\00:54:18.79
And what happened? We
are in the judgment hour.
00:54:18.82\00:54:21.79
We're in the time of
the end. That's right.
00:54:21.82\00:54:23.86
We need to
understand and we can be safe.
00:54:23.89\00:54:25.83
I believe this simple-minded
as I am, I can be saved.
00:54:25.86\00:54:29.20
You can be saved,
00:54:29.23\00:54:30.57
following in the
footsteps of Jesus
00:54:30.60\00:54:32.87
What He did, what He
taught, how He lived?
00:54:32.90\00:54:35.37
You cannot go
wrong. That's right.
00:54:35.40\00:54:37.01
Whoever has the
audacity to think about
00:54:37.04\00:54:40.11
Jesus live this
way while He was here.
00:54:40.14\00:54:42.01
He taught this,
He walked this way,
00:54:42.04\00:54:43.78
He, and then we say,
00:54:43.81\00:54:45.28
"Yeah, but we
don't have to do it now."
00:54:45.31\00:54:47.02
That's audacity.
00:54:47.05\00:54:48.48
That's what the enemy
says, you don't have to do it.
00:54:48.52\00:54:50.89
That's probably so
many people believe that.
00:54:50.92\00:54:53.32
They really believe
with all their heart.
00:54:53.36\00:54:54.69
But you know what?
00:54:54.72\00:54:56.06
The lights went
out, the wick in the oil
00:54:56.09\00:54:58.39
that you were talking about,
the wick is going to go down
00:54:58.43\00:55:02.13
if we're not careful
'cause you got the oil.
00:55:02.16\00:55:03.50
That's right. But what...
00:55:03.53\00:55:04.87
There was two pieces
what was it in the sanctuary,
00:55:04.90\00:55:06.94
they were pieces of
this, they were the cutters,
00:55:06.97\00:55:10.27
sniffers...
00:55:10.31\00:55:11.81
So what they were called?
00:55:11.84\00:55:13.88
Sniffers and trimmers.
00:55:13.91\00:55:15.58
And what they did, they cut,
when the wick started burning,
00:55:15.61\00:55:19.05
start burning low, and
it couldn't get the light
00:55:19.08\00:55:21.22
that needed
reflect they had the oil,
00:55:21.25\00:55:22.95
that they would cut that wick.
00:55:22.98\00:55:25.29
And then it would be
replenished with oil.
00:55:25.32\00:55:27.52
And when that was lit,
00:55:27.56\00:55:28.89
it would shine
brighter than it did before.
00:55:28.92\00:55:30.89
Oh, have mercy.
00:55:30.93\00:55:32.26
And that was the combination
of Christ and the Holy Spirit.
00:55:32.29\00:55:36.53
But how is that coming?
00:55:36.56\00:55:38.37
When you're cut like
this is through trials
00:55:38.40\00:55:40.60
and tribulations.
00:55:40.64\00:55:41.97
That's right,
brother. That's right.
00:55:42.00\00:55:43.34
And when you're
tried as a Christian
00:55:43.37\00:55:44.71
when things are
not going your way.
00:55:44.74\00:55:46.34
The Holy Spirit wants to burn
00:55:46.37\00:55:47.71
that stubble of
sin out of our life.
00:55:47.74\00:55:49.08
Yes. Exactly right.
00:55:49.11\00:55:50.45
That we can perfectly reproduce
right in His character.
00:55:50.48\00:55:51.95
Those five foolish
virgins, all the virgins,
00:55:51.98\00:55:53.75
they rose to trim their
lamps, but the five foolish...
00:55:53.78\00:55:56.69
And they don't bribe. Yeah.
00:55:56.72\00:55:58.55
There was no oil. But
they can't shine brighter.
00:55:58.59\00:56:00.22
Remember, without tests
and trials and tribulations.
00:56:00.26\00:56:02.42
That's why Paul said, rejoice.
00:56:02.46\00:56:05.36
Rejoice in
trials and tribulations
00:56:05.39\00:56:07.10
and that is difficult.
00:56:07.13\00:56:08.50
And nobody
laughing about that and say,
00:56:08.53\00:56:10.00
oh, where they say, we
know that it's difficult.
00:56:10.03\00:56:12.60
It's only by the grace of God.
00:56:12.63\00:56:13.97
That's where faith comes in,
00:56:14.00\00:56:15.37
that's how faith
comes in to keep our lights.
00:56:15.40\00:56:18.11
Another thing
that we did not mention
00:56:18.14\00:56:19.94
was how often that the
lamps were to be burning
00:56:19.97\00:56:22.44
because you mentioned
00:56:22.48\00:56:23.81
that some of
the lights went out,
00:56:23.85\00:56:25.31
you know, then
the spiritual darkness
00:56:25.35\00:56:26.98
but the candle opera, the
candlestick was to burn...
00:56:27.02\00:56:31.29
Continually to everyone out.
00:56:31.32\00:56:32.99
So we're to keep our connection
00:56:33.02\00:56:35.79
with the vine continually.
00:56:35.82\00:56:37.96
That's what God wants.
00:56:37.99\00:56:39.33
And that's how He is
able to see us through
00:56:39.36\00:56:41.76
and to build our faith.
00:56:41.80\00:56:43.13
There's another
combination, quick,
00:56:43.16\00:56:44.50
our time is running
out in that combination,
00:56:44.53\00:56:45.87
we're talking about
the humanity and divinity
00:56:45.90\00:56:48.50
working together
because man had a certain job
00:56:48.54\00:56:50.87
he had to do.
00:56:50.91\00:56:52.24
He had to trim, he had oil,
00:56:52.27\00:56:53.61
he had to equally
represented Christ
00:56:53.64\00:56:54.98
in all of his work.
00:56:55.01\00:56:56.34
Stay, we have to
cooperate with the Holy Spirit.
00:56:56.38\00:56:57.88
Are you cooperating
with the Holy Spirit?
00:56:57.91\00:56:59.71
We need to be cooperating
with the Holy Spirit.
00:56:59.75\00:57:01.98
Well, this has been,
to me just a joy study
00:57:02.02\00:57:05.19
and everybody's
just kind of been feeling
00:57:05.22\00:57:06.79
and running over and
hopefully we haven't taken up
00:57:06.82\00:57:09.49
too much time individually.
00:57:09.52\00:57:10.86
Hope I haven't talked too much.
00:57:10.89\00:57:12.33
But it's just so
exciting that everybody,
00:57:12.36\00:57:14.00
you're bubbling over.
00:57:14.03\00:57:15.36
And so we're
gonna be just excited
00:57:15.40\00:57:16.73
about the getting on
the Ark of the Covenant.
00:57:16.77\00:57:18.60
So we're gonna
have to do fifth part.
00:57:18.63\00:57:20.14
So hopefully each
one here will join us.
00:57:20.17\00:57:22.27
We're grateful and thankful
that you have joined us.
00:57:22.30\00:57:24.81
And we pray the Holy Spirit's
done great and wonderful things
00:57:24.84\00:57:26.94
in your life.
00:57:26.98\00:57:28.31
You're thinking right
brighter and clearer right now.
00:57:28.34\00:57:30.01
You see Jesus in a special way.
00:57:30.05\00:57:31.61
You've made a decision for Him.
00:57:31.65\00:57:32.98
