Yeah. 01:28 We're gonna be talking about the restitution of all things. 01:31 That's right. 01:33 And we realize as we look at this, 01:34 that's the relationship with the sanctuary. 01:37 We're looking the sanctuary, we're looking over the past, 01:38 what, 500 years or so that all these beautiful truths 01:41 has been restored. 01:43 And we've gathered information 01:44 if you're jotting things down at home. 01:45 Acts Chapter 3 and Daniel Chapter 8. 01:48 "Well, the truth was thrown down, 01:49 right, and covered up." 01:51 And God said, "In the last days these beautiful truths 01:52 are going to be restored." 01:53 That's right. 01:55 And so we're looking forward to getting into our read, 01:56 our last stop here. 01:58 And we talked about before and we could go for, what? 02:01 Oh, my goodness. Oh, man. 02:03 On and on and on because 02:04 when we talk about the sanctuary, 02:05 it's such a big wonderful, beautiful subject. 02:07 We've already looked at in case some of you've may joined 02:09 for the very first time. 02:10 We looked at the restitution, the altar of sacrifice. 02:13 And we looked at the laver 02:14 and we go into the Table of Showbread. 02:18 We go into the Altar of Incense and then the Candlestick. 02:21 And then, so now, the beautiful thing, 02:23 we're going into, by faith, the Most Holy Place 02:27 and what is located there. 02:29 That's what we're gonna be looking at studying. 02:30 And I think, today, we'll be going probably 02:33 as we study that we're gonna be going into a lot of different 02:36 aspects because it can come in so many different angles. 02:40 And so we're praying that the Holy Spirit 02:42 will illuminate these beautiful truths 02:43 in each of your minds here on the panel, 02:46 which we're very glad that we have here before 02:48 we have our prayer. 02:49 We probably should introduce them, don't you think? 02:50 Oh, yeah. 02:52 Brother Don Owen, glad you're here. 02:53 Thank you for having me. 02:54 You're on the end seat, you don't wanna fly. 02:56 No. 02:57 I think it's too much pressure to be on it. 02:59 I'm nervous.

That's true." 03:15 Because really it is fun and we should have fun. 03:17 Oh, yeah. 03:18 There shouldn't be strain and stress. 03:20 The study might be putting it all together. 03:21 When it comes time, set around God's table. 03:23 That's right. 03:24 And Holy Spirit is working. 03:26 It's gonna be fun. 03:27 And there's always a nugget or two that comes after, 03:30 just catches the seats by a surprise. 03:32 Yeah. Absolutely. 03:33 I'm looking for a lot of nuggets to come in. 03:35 Amen. 03:37 I have my lovely wife Chris next to me. 03:39 Thank you, you're here today. Thank you. 03:40 Are you all geared up for it? Are you really ready? 03:42 Oh, I don't know but hopefully by the time... 03:44 No, we prayed about it and asked the Holy Spirit. 03:45 So I've got... 03:47 I just know it's going to be about faith believers. 03:49 And, Brother Ryan Day, always a privilege... 03:51 I'm here, man. 03:53 I'm excited to be here. 03:54 I love the Word of God. 03:55 Isn't that wonderful? Praise the Lord. 03:57 He says, "Taste and see 03:58 if He's not good and wonderful." 04:00 Of course. Absolutely. 04:01 And we have Summer, Sister Summer... 04:02 And we have Summer on the piano. 04:04 Yes. 04:05 But she is a minute woman. 04:06 Is that what we call her? 04:08 Last minute. 04:09 Minute man, minute woman. 04:11 We're so very grateful and thankful 04:12 that she is willing to do that for us. 04:13 And again, we'll be in the Most Holy Place 04:15 and we're gonna be looking really at the Ark 04:17 of the Covenant talking in the 1800s as it were. 04:20 And people say, "Well, where does it go?" 04:22 I believe it goes all the way down, 04:24 this beautiful truth until Jesus shall come 04:27 because the Sabbath truth comes out 04:28 and that's gonna be contested all the way till Jesus comes. 04:31 So, you know, what a good study it is. 04:33 But before that we're gonna sing a song first 04:36 and then we're going to have prayer. 04:38 Brother Ryan Day, we always turn that over to you. 04:40 Absolutely. 04:41 So we're gonna be singing from page 590 04:45 in the SDA Hymnal. 04:46 A good old-fashioned hymn, "Trust and Obey." 04:48 So, Summer, take it away. 04:54 When we walk With the Lord in the light 04:59 Of His Word What a glory 05:03 He sheds on our way! 05:07 While we do His good will 05:11 He abides with us still 05:15 And with all Who will trust and obey 05:21 Trust and obey, For there's no other way 05:28 To be happy in Jesus, 05:33 But to trust and obey 05:37 Not a shadow can rise 05:41 Not a cloud in the skies 05:45 But His smile quickly drives It away 05:51 Not a doubt or a fear 05:55 Not a sigh or a tear 05:59 Can abide While we trust and obey 06:05 Trust and obey, 06:09 For there's no other way 06:12 To be happy in Jesus, 06:17 but to trust and obey 06:22 Amen. Praise the Lord. 06:23 Hallelujah. 06:25 What a beautiful song. 06:26 What a testimony. 06:28 Trust and obey for there's no other way. 06:30 And we wanna take this to the Lord right now. 06:32 Amen. 06:33 Brother JD, how about you? 06:35 Would you pray for us, please? Amen. 06:36 Most certainly. 06:37 Father, as we come together on the Sabbath day. 06:39 We just want to thank You, Lord, 06:40 so much for being in our hearts and our minds, and Father, 06:43 we dedicate this time to you. 06:45 Father, we invite the Holy Spirit in. 06:47 Father, just to find those nuggets 06:49 that only You can give us, Lord, 06:51 so that we can share among us and share with others. 06:54 So Father, just emptiest of us, fill us with You. 06:57 We love you and thank you in Jesus' name. 07:00 Amen. Amen. 07:01 Praise the Lord. 07:02 And we were praying and hoping and believing, 07:04 you're praying along with us. 07:05 And we pray here, you pray with us, 07:07 we hear that so often. 07:08 When you guys pray, we pray. 07:09 That's right. 07:11 We're very grateful and thankful for that you do. 07:13 We are in question number six. 07:15 And again we talked about is very open, 07:17 is very broad and when you talk about the sanctuary, 07:20 it seems as though... 07:21 I think we'll be discussing through the eternal age 07:23 as far as I'm concerned. 07:24 Mm-hmm. 07:26 So we're not gonna plan on just getting down 07:27 to every little thing where you know everything, 07:29 sanctuary is so big and so vast and so wonderful. 07:31 It's God, it's talking about God, 07:33 talking about plan of salvation. 07:35 So we're gonna look at question number six, 07:36 read that, and then I think that's just a springboard. 07:39 Let's use that as a springboard 07:41 that we can go in lot of different 07:42 directions on this. 07:44 Because we realize that we look at the 1800, 07:46 we look at 1844, 07:47 we look at what's going on here, 07:49 the Advent movement and who was all 07:50 and different involved with it and many we'll bring that out, 07:52 I'm sure. 07:54 I believe it's going to reveal some things 07:56 that might be a shock maybe to some. 07:58 But it's gonna be a joy and hallelujah 08:00 and an amen to some of the rest of us, right, 08:02 who believes these things. 08:04 Question six says, "What are we doing to proclaim 08:07 the judgment hour and all of these 08:09 precious truths that are contained therein?" 08:12 Again, that's kind of an open question. 08:14 Who'd like to maybe begin right there? 08:17 And if we do, we may wanna set that aside 08:19 and go back to where maybe we believe the beginning 08:22 of this thing really starting as far as that, 08:24 we're now by faith entering where? 08:26 Yeah, the Most Holy Place. 08:27 Most Holy Place. 08:29 And my question maybe, Brother Ryan, 08:32 is when was that curtain as it were torn down? 08:35 Right, absolutely. 08:37 I love the question that we asked earlier 08:39 which is what are we doing to proclaim the judgment hour 08:41 and all of these precious truths 08:44 that are contained therein. 08:45 And when I think of judgment hour, 08:47 I always start with some present truth 08:50 that of course is linked to some truth 08:52 that the Lord has given many, many years ago 08:55 to set us up for the study. 08:56 So I wanna start actually in Revelation Chapter 14 08:58 with the first angel's message. 09:00 Because it clearly gives us some insight 09:03 as to what it is that we are talking about 09:04 this morning or this evening. 09:06 And so, Revelation Chapter 14 09:08 beginning with verse 6 obviously. 09:10 John is in vision, He says, 09:12 "And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, 09:13 having the everlasting gospel to preach to those 09:16 who dwell on the earth, and to every nation, tribe, 09:18 tongue, and people." 09:19 Just wanna pause there and just make 09:20 a quick mention that, you know, 09:22 lot of times people think, "Wait a second, judgment?" 09:24 Well, that's bad news. 09:26 Judgment is bad news. 09:27 Judgment is not really good news. 09:29 So it can't be gospel, right? 09:31 Well, notice what verse 6 says 09:32 that these angels are delivering what? 09:34 The everlasting gospel. 09:36 So now notice verse 7, saying with a loud voice, 09:39 here comes the first angel's message. 09:41 "Fear God and give glory to Him, 09:43 for the hour of His judgment..." 09:44 And I'm reading New King James here, which says, "Has come." 09:47 King James is gonna say, "Is come," same thing. 09:50 So "for the hour of His judgment has come, 09:52 and worship Him who made heaven and earth, 09:54 the sea and the springs of waters." 09:56 And so, what this present truth beautiful first angel's message 10:01 is telling us is that "Hey, why do we need to fear God? 10:06 Why did we need to return to worshiping Him? 10:08 Why do we need to give Him all the glory now?" 10:11 Because we're living in a last day judgment hour 10:14 prior to the second coming of Jesus. 10:16 So when I think judgment, 10:18 if you are student of the Word of God, 10:19 then you know that this is gonna link us back to, 10:22 I believe, the origin of the study 10:24 and where we are now as we're transitioning 10:26 from the Holy Place into the Most Holy Place. 10:28 We're gonna find ourselves in Daniel Chapter 8 10:30 which is kind of the really the foundation passage 10:35 of the whole thing, 10:36 because if you don't have Daniel Chapter 8, 10:38 then you really have no... 10:40 This restoration cannot even exist or happen 10:44 without Daniel Chapter 8. 10:45 And so we're in Daniel Chapter 8. 10:47 Daniel, of course, is in vision, 10:49 and he's taking us through it. 10:51 As he's seeing these animals, he's looking out 10:53 and he sees this ram and this goat. 10:55 And we are told right here that this ram 10:57 represents the kingdom of Medo-Persia. 10:59 So he's kind of taking us through a, 11:01 from his perspective, the future. 11:03 But, of course, we're looking in hindsight 11:04 back at the kingdoms of the world, the progression. 11:07 And, of course, next he sees this goat 11:10 with one horn on its head, which we're told right here 11:12 in Daniel Chapter 8 11:13 that it is the nation of Greece. 11:15 So we see Medo-Persia, Greece and then Daniel brings us 11:18 right up to the time of Rome. 11:21 And not just any particular time of Rome, 11:23 because we know historically Rome began 11:25 and started as kind of a civil, political institution. 11:28 But then it evolves into and transitions 11:31 into a religio-political system, 11:33 an amalgamation of church and state. 11:35 And so what we're reading here 11:37 beginning in verse 9 and onward. 11:39 Notice what the Bible says. 11:40 Daniel Chapter 8 beginning with verse 9. 11:43 Speaking of this second beast, this goat, 11:47 out of one of the goat's horns, 11:48 out of the one of the goat's four horns. 11:50 Notice what it says. 11:52 Out of one of them came a little horn. 11:54 And so this is that same little horn 11:56 that Daniel sees in Daniel Chapter 7, 11:58 the previous chapter. 11:59 This anti-Christ little horn, 12:01 which no doubt in my mind 12:03 for those who are students of the Bible, 12:06 you know that if you take Bible and history, 12:08 we have no doubt speaking of this time period 12:11 of this religio-political papal system. 12:13 So we're talking about Roman papal church state. 12:16 And so this little horn which grew exceedingly great 12:19 toward the south, toward the east, 12:20 and toward the glorious land, 12:22 and then here comes our clues here. 12:25 "And it grew up to the host of heaven 12:27 and it cast down some of the host 12:29 of some of the stars to the ground 12:31 and trampled upon them." 12:33 He is growing exceedingly great. 12:35 And then notice verse 11. 12:36 "He even exalted himself 12:37 as high as the Prince of the host." 12:39 So here comes this blasphemy. 12:41 Remember Daniel Chapter 7, 12:42 he speaks great words 12:44 and then Revelation 13 says and blasphemy. 12:46 So this is a blasphemous power. 12:48 He thinks to exalt himself as high as Jesus, 12:51 the Prince of the host. 12:53 And so notice what he continues to say, 12:55 "As high as the Prince of host, and by him the daily..." 13:00 Okay, and your Bible might say "sacrifices" behind them. 13:03 You'll see that word is... 13:05 It's italicized 13:06 because it's not in the original. 13:07 But the daily, which is sanctuary terminology, 13:11 is taken away. 13:12 Notice, "Were taken away, and the place of His sanctuary 13:16 was cast down." 13:18 And he goes on to tell us in verse 12. 13:19 "Because of transgression, an army was given over to Him 13:22 to oppose the daily, 13:24 and to cast truth to the ground, 13:26 and He did all this and prospered." 13:28 And so what we're seeing is God is clearly revealing to us 13:31 from Daniel's perspective future prophetic events. 13:35 We're now here, we're past that period. 13:37 We're looking in hindsight back 13:39 and we're seeing all of this has been fulfilled already. 13:42 And which this Roman papal church system in history, 13:46 probably around the early 500s AD, 13:49 began to cast down and trample 13:51 upon God's sanctuary message. 13:53 And, of course, 13:55 who is the antagonistic figure behind all of this? 13:57 The devil. 13:59 Because the Bible says in Revelation 30 14:00 that He gives His power, 14:02 his seat and his great authority. 14:03 So the devil is the root cause of this. 14:05 The devil... 14:06 No, I just got a minute, 14:07 but I wanna toss the ball and you guys 14:09 'cause I get excited about this topic. 14:10 I don't wanna talk all this time. 14:12 But I wanna make this very clear. 14:13 The devil knows... Yes, he does. 14:15 That if he can attack the sanctuary truth, 14:18 because the devil knows that within the sanctuary message 14:20 is the plan of salvation. 14:22 He knows that if we comprehend 14:23 the importance of the symbolism 14:25 of what all of these things mean, 14:26 then we'll clearly see God's progressive plan 14:29 of salvation for our life. 14:30 And so what does he do around the early 500s AD? 14:33 He raises up a counterfeit priesthood. 14:36 And then one by one over a period 14:38 of about a thousand years, 14:39 we see that these truths of God's sanctuary messages 14:43 being plucked out one by one by one. 14:45 And so that's why, when we get to Daniel 8:14, Donald, 14:49 and we're gonna talk about these 2300 years. 14:51 God says, "You know what? 14:53 There's a period of 2300 years 14:54 in which I'm going to cleanse the sanctuary." 14:57 And by the end of that 2300 year time period, 15:00 which we're gonna see brings us to the year 1844, 15:03 God has promised that by the year 1844, 15:06 the end of this 2300 time prophecy, 15:09 that His, the completeness of His sanctuary message 15:12 is gonna be restored and it's gonna be cleansed. 15:15 And now we're here, 15:16 we're living in that time space. 15:18 Yes, yeah. That's right. 15:19 Can I just insert one little thing. 15:21 Just for those maybe at home that don't understand 15:24 or maybe never read in the Bible. 15:26 But you said the devil knows. 15:27 The devil knows 15:29 because he was a covering cherub 15:31 over the Ark of the Covenant in heaven over God's law. 15:36 And what's so very vital 15:38 and I think interesting to note, 15:40 the first war of all wars began in heaven. 15:44 And it was over 15:46 what was in the Ark of the Covenant, 15:48 the law of God. 15:50 And so now here we are at the very end, 15:52 the very last war will be over the law of God. 15:57 Absolutely. So interesting. 15:59 So he knows the sanctuary 16:01 because he had a high place as... 16:06 He knows it better than anyone. 16:08 Right, a covering cherub, exactly. 16:10 And he used to keep that law until he decided that he was... 16:13 Sounds celestial. 16:14 I mean this really should excite us to realize 16:16 that we have a mission. 16:18 We have something which we should be doing 16:20 that God has ordained that we do 16:22 and we are to not get distracted by other things. 16:24 That's right. You feel the urgency of it. 16:28 And we know what we should be doing. 16:29 What do you think we should be doing now? 16:30 You know what? 16:32 While you were speaking to me, 16:33 when you were talking what hit my mind 16:34 was just seeing Jesus 16:36 in the wilderness being tempted. 16:37 Oh. 16:38 I thought about that last one, he said, 16:40 but if you'll fall down and worship me, 16:41 I give you all these worlds and it's like... 16:43 That just caught me when you said that, you know, 16:44 these idea that Satan wants to be worshiped. 16:46 So what is he gonna do? 16:47 He's gonna trample down the truth 16:48 so he will be the one who is lifted up. 16:50 He said, "I will be like God, the Most High God." 16:52 Well... 16:53 So, you know, I think she is gonna piggyback us. 16:55 Well, because when you think 16:57 about he was tempted with the bread, 16:59 the table of showbread, you know, He was... 17:03 Be careful now. 17:04 The devil said, "I'll give you the whole world," 17:05 like you just read the light, the candlestick, you know, 17:09 'cause that represents God's church. 17:10 And I'll give you the church. You want the church? 17:12 Just fall down and worship me. 17:14 And what was the other one, the third? 17:15 Come down from the throne. Yeah. 17:19 But the third one, I know had to do 17:20 with the Altar of Incense, but I can't think what it was, 17:23 and who could can help me here? 17:24 Anybody? I'm trying but I'm sorry. 17:25 Okay, all right, but I know. 17:27 But what's interesting is because he knows this. 17:29 He understands the sanctuary message 17:31 and every one of those temptation 17:33 had to do with something in the sanctuary. 17:35 'Cause he's just talking about the Altar of Incense 17:37 and you're talking about prayer in likeness of Christ 17:40 and what the enemy wants us too, 17:41 he wants us certainly to pray to him. 17:43 But in our movement that we're talking about 17:45 in the sanctuary here, remember in the Holy Place 17:47 where he went for 18 centuries. 17:49 That's where Jesus worked. 17:50 Then he made his move, 17:52 but majority of the Christian world did what? 17:55 They stayed in the Holy Place is where the prayers 17:57 are being offered now into the Holy Place. 17:59 So they cannot be answered by God 18:02 because we must follow Jesus into the Most Holy. 18:04 So the enemy then is taking over as it were 18:07 and he is making other folk stay. 18:10 You don't have to be one of those, 18:11 we're not trying to point fingers. 18:12 But if we're still in the Holy Place... 18:14 That's right. 18:15 Since 1844, we need to move to the Most Holy... 18:17 Right, that's right. 18:18 Where we can be benefitted by His merits 18:20 and what He is doing in our behalf right now. 18:23 Amen. 18:24 There's a scripture that touches me just real quick, 18:27 Psalm 68:24 and it just, Lord brought me to this. 18:30 I'm gonna read this from the King James Version, 18:31 I think it says, "They see Your goings, O God, 18:34 even the solemn processions of my God, my King, 18:38 into the sanctuary, and the holiness." 18:39 What that's saying there is they're watching 18:42 God goes through the different elements 18:44 in the sanctuary. 18:45 So they're watching the procession 18:46 of what God's doing in that sanctuary. 18:48 Isn't that amazing? Yeah. 18:49 You know, once you begin to kind of 18:51 become aware of the sanctuary, 18:52 all of a sudden you see different parts 18:55 of history that all follow the sanctuary. 18:59 The Bible says, what is it? 19:00 Psalms, "Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary." 19:04 So the history of the church, even the different experiences 19:08 that they had, the Israelites had, 19:10 they were following the procession 19:12 through the sanctuary. 19:13 It's amazing. 19:15 So the bottom-line is, is this good news or bad news? 19:17 It's good news. Good news? 19:18 It's good news 19:19 because the truth shall set you free. 19:21 Exactly. 19:22 So does that mean some people 19:24 have more information than other people 19:25 or we all on the same page 19:27 or some people more hungry and thirsty? 19:30 And they're trying to figure things out? 19:32 Do you know what? 19:33 I've always said 'cause it's a gift 19:35 of the Holy Spirit for us to be hungry and thirsty. 19:37 And a lot of times, we come to the realization that 19:40 we should be hungry and thirsty but we're really not. 19:42 Oh. 19:43 So I've often encouraged people pray. 19:46 Pray that God will give you 19:47 that through the power of the Holy Spirit, 19:49 a hunger and a thirst for righteousness, for truth. 19:52 Amen. 19:53 Because when you begin to pray for truth, 19:55 things begin to change. 19:56 You know, I wish... 19:58 I was saying when the cameras were off 20:00 because some people sitting around me 20:01 just have such a wonderful recollection 20:04 of the Word of God and they can retain it 20:06 and they can recall it. 20:08 And I feel like I have to go in and search 20:10 and I need to have it in front of me, you know, 20:11 'cause I just don't have that. 20:12 I'd love to have that. 20:14 But, you know, the beautiful thing is 20:16 it's there for us. 20:17 We can... 20:19 Right now we so many, 20:21 so many options to get this truth. 20:24 But we have to learn to eat at that bread 20:26 which is part of that, 20:28 the bread of life which is Christ. 20:30 You know, the word of God. 20:31 He said He is the word and we need to learn 20:33 to pray the Altar of Incense. 20:35 And so then our lights will begin to shine, 20:38 whether it's a little bit or a lot. 20:39 God didn't say how much, you know, 20:41 He just wants us to learn 20:42 and He will judge us accordingly. 20:44 Brother JD opened the box there, didn't he? 20:46 When you set about 'cause you were hungry. 20:48 You sit down at the table, I mean, this got lot of 20:50 nice good food on, basically. 20:51 Right? 20:53 And you just ate it a little bit before. 20:54 You really can't fool him by that table. 20:56 Oh, no. 20:57 They're gonna know how you're trying 20:59 to picking and eating it... 21:00 I don't know. 21:01 Use that spiritually, you know what I mean. 21:03 And when you're really hungry, when you sit down... 21:05 When I sit down, you're gonna know I'm hungry. 21:06 Oh, yes. Yeah, you want to eat it. 21:08 You perform the magic. 21:09 Yeah, I'm gonna right ahead 21:11 and just keep right on going, you know. 21:12 Yes, right. 21:13 And spiritually, I think we need to make sure that, 21:15 like, we're hungering and thirsting. 21:16 We come to the Word of God, we open it up in faith, 21:19 believing, and praying that the Holy Spirit would be sent 21:21 that will lead us in all truth. 21:22 Believe it's going to happen. 21:24 Believe that God's gonna do great things. 21:26 And we see that in the Word of God. 21:28 Sometimes it's the people that have... 21:31 It appears as if so they've done the worse sin. 21:35 And then when they come to that bread of life, 21:38 they're so hungry, they just wanna cram it all in 21:42 and get as much as possible. 21:44 But sometimes when we feel like we're full 21:46 and in need of nothing, well, maybe, you know, 21:49 I don't know if that's right or wrong. 21:50 Get complacent. 21:51 Yeah, so we need to pray to be hungry. 21:54 What did Jesus say 21:56 in His first sermon on the mount? 21:57 He said, "Blessed that are 21:59 those who hunger and thirst for righteousness." 22:02 And we are in that time now 22:04 and I keep mentioning the present truth. 22:07 You know what? Truth is truth. 22:08 But we're talking about... 22:09 What the message we're talking about right now, 22:11 what Christ is doing in the Most Holy Place 22:13 of the heavenly sanctuary. 22:14 That is the present truth for this time. 22:16 And, you know, the question I have as I was studying this. 22:19 We have over the last four studies together. 22:23 We have seen this clear progressive restoration. 22:27 As we see, the devil began to take them all back. 22:30 The Lord said, "No, I'm gonna raise up a movement 22:33 that's gonna replace this." 22:34 And so we saw Martin Luther and the movement 22:36 of the Lutherans replaced the Altar of Sacrifice. 22:39 We saw clearly 22:41 how the Anabaptist movement replaced 22:43 the truth behind the laver, 22:45 which is the truth behind baptism 22:47 and the washing away of sins. 22:48 We saw clearly how the beautiful 22:53 message behind the table of showbread, 22:55 how the Lord raised up during that time Wycliffe, 22:58 John Wycliffe. 23:00 And how him and the Lollards 23:01 began to raise up a movement 23:02 to bring emphasis and importance 23:04 back to the Word of God and putting it 23:06 into the hands of the people 23:07 so that they can read it for themselves. 23:09 The devil doesn't want you reading the Bible. 23:10 No! 23:12 He doesn't want you studying the Word of God for yourself. 23:13 And so we see that the Lord raised up these mighty men. 23:16 He would raise up John Wesley and the beautiful movement 23:19 there of the Methodist movement to replace the lampstand. 23:24 And then we see John Calvin in the Presbyterian 23:28 as he brings back the importance 23:29 of not praying to man but praying to God. 23:32 And so we see through time, God progressively... 23:34 But now here comes the question, 23:38 the sanctuary is not completed till you go 23:39 into the Most Holy Place. 23:41 So now we get to this last article of furniture, 23:44 the Ark of the Covenant, "the Ark of the Covenant." 23:48 So what's inside that box? That's right. 23:50 God's holy Ten Commandment Law. 23:52 And the devil... Demeaning it all. 23:54 Absolute, and so the devil has now, 23:56 during that papal reign, that Dark Ages, 23:59 he has replaced God's holy law with traditions of men. 24:05 Amen. So now how... 24:06 Since he's used all these other powerful men 24:08 in movements to help bring the truth back, 24:11 who is he gonna raise up to bring back 24:13 the truth of His Holy Place, His Most Holy Place? 24:16 Yes, I think it's important what you just covered 24:18 'cause this was in my mind too, 24:20 is we're building on the foundation 24:22 of those who've come before us. 24:23 That's right. 24:25 And so there was a great awakening, you know. 24:27 You can look back in history and it caused a great religious 24:31 or spiritual awakening that occurred in 1800s, 24:34 wasn't just in the United States 24:35 but it was worldwide. 24:37 And people began to look at these prophecies 24:39 and God did raise up a people. 24:42 And eventually they did, I guess I'll just say it. 24:44 They did become the Seventh-day Adventist. 24:46 That's right. 24:47 And it's really, if you are a Seventh-day Adventist, 24:49 so you look at this message, 24:50 it is a message of prophetic destiny. 24:53 That's right. 24:55 Because we're building on those... 24:57 How do I put it? 24:59 Those blocks or those foundations 25:00 that came before us through all these other men 25:03 that God rose up. 25:04 And it wasn't just one man at one time. 25:06 He had others, they came in and helped Him 25:08 begin to share the word. 25:10 And what's interesting is say if you were a Baptist, 25:13 see at that time everybody believed in sprinkling. 25:16 So if you began to speak about baptism my immersion, 25:19 which is what we found out that the Bible teaches, 25:21 you know, you would be called strange. 25:23 No, of course. 25:24 You know, they'd wanna stay away from me. 25:26 You would be... You would be persecuted. 25:27 A cult. How about a cult? 25:29 Have Adventists ever been accused of being a cult? 25:31 Yes. 25:32 Yes, you know, by putting the Word of God 25:34 and he said that they had their own law but, 25:37 you know, God, not God, but the devil has tried 25:40 to nail God's law to the cross. 25:41 He's done away with. That's right. 25:43 Basically, we can be good without the law. 25:46 We don't need a law. How many of we ever had that? 25:48 I don't need a law. I don't need rules. 25:51 I'm going back to teenager time, you know. 25:53 Go back to high school. 25:54 I don't need rules to help me to be good. 25:56 I'm good on my own. 25:57 See that was the original lie, part of it. 26:01 And that's what continued throughout history. 26:03 And that's what we're dealing with now. 26:05 People wanna go to church. They wanna have a good time. 26:08 But when it comes to studying, and not just reading 26:12 but getting in there and digging for treasure. 26:15 You're right, and allowing the Word of God 26:17 to interpret itself. 26:18 Yes. Yes, that is the key. 26:19 Allowing God to tell you what God means. 26:22 That's very important. So... 26:24 You know, as you've seen all these dealing 26:25 once you were talking about all these, 26:27 most people seem like they're Christians, 26:28 really are not having much of a problem. 26:31 They go kind of whether it's a Bible and studying 26:33 and praying and witnessing that. 26:35 But now we are in the heavy duty 26:36 that you said they're most important. 26:38 I think it was the Ten Commandment law 26:41 is where the issue blows down to. 26:42 Of course. 26:43 Isn't that interesting, I read, 26:45 I think it was Exodus Chapter 40. 26:48 When God said to put the stuff into the sanctuary, 26:52 I don't think I knew this before, 26:53 but Moses did it. 26:55 Mm-hmm. Right? 26:56 I'm thinking why didn't that just registered with me. 26:58 Moses put those pieces of furniture in there. 27:01 And notice how he... This is the way I've read this. 27:05 He started from the Most Holy Place first 27:08 and worked his way out. 27:10 Because the law is the center. 27:13 Jesus is certainly the center but the law of God 27:15 is the throne room of God that incorporates 27:17 God and Christ that is His throne 27:20 which is unchangeable. 27:22 It tells that the law of God is unchangeable. 27:23 Mm-hmm. 27:24 So I thought that was very interesting. 27:26 They said like in verse 3, "And thou shalt put there 27:28 in the ark of the testimony." 27:29 So when he was... I wanna say decorating. 27:32 Right? Decorating. 27:33 He's putting it in. He's telling first. 27:35 "Get the Ten Commandment law. Get that ark. 27:37 Get that box and put it, you know, put that in there." 27:41 And we're gonna work from there because that is what? 27:44 That represents what? God's throne, does it not? 27:46 That's right. 27:47 God's throne where everything else emanates from. 27:50 You know, I thought, you know, that I... 27:52 Silly me. 27:54 I just hadn't rethought about that way before as far as. 27:56 You kind of start from the outward and go in. 27:58 But God said, "I'm gonna show you 27:59 what the center of this all about." 28:01 Yes, that foundation of his government. 28:02 And really we're talking about the judgment hour. 28:05 What are we being judged on? Or by? 28:09 The law of God. 28:11 The law of God. The law of God. 28:12 So that is one reason why it is so vitally important, 28:16 the deaf understood this. 28:17 I just thought of Revelation 12:17. 28:20 "The devil, the dragon was wroth with the woman." 28:23 See this, the woman is this last church, 28:26 that's the last movement that's bringing this law back 28:29 and saying, "Look, people, this is the law. 28:31 This is what the judgment hour is all about. 28:34 This is what you need to... You'll be judged by. 28:38 You'll be judged by." 28:39 It says, "The dragon was wroth with the woman, 28:41 and went to make war with the remnant." 28:43 The last part and I always like this, 28:45 you know, those of us who sow or used to sow when I had time. 28:48 You know, you get a bolt of fabric 28:50 and at the very end, we call that remnant pieces. 28:52 Sometimes we go by remnant pieces 28:54 'cause they were "cheaper" in the store. 28:56 But that pattern was exactly the same 28:59 from the beginning of that bolt. 29:00 The pattern here, this remnant church 29:02 is exactly the same. 29:04 This is the way God wanted His church to be 29:07 from the very beginning. 29:08 "So with the remnant of her seed, 29:10 which keep the commandments," 29:12 Revelation 12:17, which keep the commandments. 29:15 So if they were done at the cross, 29:17 would John be talking about it then? 29:19 This was after the cross. That's right. 29:21 You know, they were not done away with. 29:22 "Which keep the commandments..." 29:24 It doesn't say nine-tenths, or three-fourths, 29:27 or whatever you want to pick up. 29:28 That's right. 29:30 It says, "Which keep the commandments of God, 29:31 and have the testimony of Jesus Christ," 29:34 or the Spirit of Prophecy. 29:35 So it's a beautiful two identifying marks 29:38 of this movement. 29:40 Amen. That's amazing. 29:41 It is amazing. It's amazing. 29:43 And what's so powerful 29:44 when you think of it in this sense. 29:46 Okay, you guys are parents. I don't have kids. 29:50 I don't think JD or Donald have kids yet. 29:52 But you guys raised kids. Okay, you had a home. 29:54 You're a family. 29:56 And you have rules in that home. 29:57 That's right. Okay? 29:58 In other words, you know, I'm not suspected 30:01 that a Christian family, they wanna raise their kids 30:03 in the way of the Lord as the Bible says. 30:05 Amen. 30:06 And so you do all that you can, 30:07 the best of your ability to protect 30:09 that little innocent mind. 30:10 And so you're not gonna allow them 30:11 just to listen anything in that home. 30:13 You're not gonna allow them 30:14 just to watch anything in that home. 30:16 There's not gonna be any negative influences 30:18 within the home that you're raising that kid. 30:20 So in other words, good Christian homes, 30:22 or any good home is gonna have a series of moral rules 30:26 just established in that home. 30:27 Now you're not gonna allow someone from off the street, 30:31 some random Joe that perhaps is, 30:34 I'm just gonna say, 30:35 a pedophile to come into your home. 30:37 Someone who violates those principles in your home 30:40 because you're trying to protect your kingdom, 30:43 you know, your home, your kids. 30:45 You just said a keyword, the kingdom 30:47 'cause there is no kingdom without a law. 30:49 That's right. 30:50 And so now let's bring this full measured 30:51 'cause this is powerful here 30:53 when I think of it in these terms. 30:55 God has a kingdom. He has a home. 30:58 And He's went to prepare us a place. 31:00 Yes. Right. 31:01 But here's the thing. 31:03 If we're gonna dwell in God's home, 31:05 we have to abide by the King's rules. 31:08 And I don't like to necessarily apply that, 31:10 you know, the concept of "rules" 31:12 to the Ten Commandments. 31:13 But nonetheless, they're the 10 freedoms. 31:15 In God's kingdom, you have the freedom from sin. 31:17 That's right. 31:18 There's no sin that dwells in God's kingdom. 31:20 And so that law, what's the significance 31:22 of God's holy law? 31:24 On that law, in that law is His character. 31:27 His divine moral character that when we dwell 31:30 in His presence as in His home. 31:33 He's only going to allow people 31:34 to come into His home that will abide 31:36 by the government of heaven, the laws that government have. 31:40 Exactly. Absolutely, now check this out. 31:42 This is powerful. 31:43 But 'cause I don't have a lot of time to show this. 31:44 But I got to just at least reference it really quickly. 31:47 We're in the throne room 31:49 because the Most Holy Place brings us 31:50 into the heavenly throne room of God. 31:53 And so we're talking about the law of God here. 31:55 And we know that 31:57 within the heavenly Most Holy Place, 31:59 that throne room, we know that the law of God was there. 32:01 But I'm gonna take this a step further. 32:03 When God was giving the law to Moses, 32:04 check this out. 32:06 I'm gonna reference Exodus 24:9 through 12. 32:09 If you have time, go read Exodus 24:9 through 12. 32:14 'cause what is happening in this scene here, 32:16 Moses and the children of Israel 32:17 have heard God verbally speak 32:19 the Ten Commandments in Exodus 20. 32:21 But by the time you get to the 24th chapter, 32:23 now God has called 70 of the elders of Israel 32:26 and Moses up the mountain, of Mount Sinai. 32:29 And then they see there. 32:30 They look up and see the God of Israel. 32:32 And protruding from his feet, the Bible says, 32:34 was a beautiful paved work of sapphire stone like, 32:38 and the Bible says 32:40 like the very heavens in its clarity. 32:41 That's right. 32:42 Now what's amazing here 32:44 is if you go read this verse here, 32:45 notice what the God of Israel, notice what God tells Moses. 32:47 And this is verse 12. 32:48 He says, "Come up to me in the mountain, and be there, 32:50 and I will give you tables of..." 32:53 Now in your Bible it's gonna say 32:54 "tables of stone" but in the original Hebrew, 32:57 it's "tables of the stone." 33:00 Which stone? The foundation. 33:02 The sapphire stone that was coming from His feet. 33:04 Now you say, "Ryan, what significance is that?" 33:06 When you go to Ezekiel 1:26, and I'm making reference here. 33:10 Ezekiel 1:26 and Ezekiel 10:1. 33:13 Ezekiel was given a vision of the Most Holy Place, 33:16 the heavenly throne room of God. 33:18 And guess what? 33:19 He sees God seated on His throne. 33:21 And what is His throne made of? Sapphire stone. 33:24 Wow. 33:25 And so what we're seeing here 33:26 is within this Ark of the Covenant, 33:29 as we're going into the Most Holy Place. 33:31 What God is communicating by this is He's saying, "Look, 33:33 this is not just some set of rules. 33:35 This is not just some, you know, 33:37 thou shalt not and thou shalt 33:38 and, you know, do this and do that." 33:40 Or else, this is the Lord saying, 33:42 "I want you in My kingdom. 33:43 But let me clearly communicate this to you. 33:45 My kingdom is foundationed on My character. 33:48 And my character is in my law. 33:51 And when I gave Moses that first copy of the stones, 33:54 I etched it from the very stone of My throne 33:59 to communicate the importance of this law." 34:01 Not that it saves you, because you are saved, 34:05 you want to be in line with the character of the Lord. 34:08 And so God's got to raise up the people in these last days. 34:10 Oh, absolutely. 34:12 Who's gonna preach this message to the world. 34:13 Who's gonna let the world know that 34:14 while we're not saved by the commandments. 34:17 The commandments are the laws that govern heaven. 34:19 And if we're gonna be there, 34:20 we have to have God's character replicated in us. 34:22 That's right. 34:24 And the only reason we fight the Ten Commandments 34:27 is because we are so intrigued by the deceptions of the devil. 34:31 And so, you know, 34:32 when we look at the Ten Commandments, 34:34 we say, "Ah, you know, 34:36 thou shalt not, thou shalt, what? 34:37 What? You know, wait a minute." 34:38 'cause our lifestyle doesn't live up to. 34:40 But that's what God is doing. He's calling us up. 34:43 I think it's very important that we mentioned that 34:45 the seat covering the law is the seat of mercy. 34:50 It's a mercy seat. 34:51 Praise God, because what is the penalty 34:54 of breaking that law? 34:55 Death. Death. 34:57 We may not see it immediately in our lifetime 35:00 right now but we will see it. 35:02 That's right. And it's for all of us. 35:04 Anyone that's ever been born 35:06 on this planet will receive death 35:07 if they live not up to that law. 35:10 But then there's mercy. 35:11 God says, "I'm giving you mercy. 35:14 I'm giving you grace. I love you so much." 35:16 And Jesus has paid the penalty. That's right. Amen. 35:19 If you just want it, if you accept it. 35:22 By His stripes, you will be healed 35:24 from the sin of breaking that law. 35:27 How beautiful can you get? 35:28 Not only is that His law, 35:30 it's a foundation of His government, 35:32 it's a seat of His throne. 35:34 That's right, yeah. 35:36 But He's willing to pay our penalty to bring us back 35:41 to where He wants us to be to repopulate heaven. 35:43 Amen. The restitution of all things. 35:45 Restore the angels that fell. Yeah. 35:48 Restore all the angels. 35:49 We don't know how many angels fell. 35:51 Restore the angels. 35:52 You have that mercy seat that you've mentioned. 35:53 And I always like I praised God for mercy and grace. 35:57 But that mercy seat that was on there 35:59 that cover the ark which is, what, 36:00 maybe four feet four inches or so about 2.7 high. 36:06 But, you know, this mercy seat 36:08 was made out of one solid piece of gold. 36:12 That's right. You know, God is solid. 36:14 His foundation is solid. He's got a firm foundation. 36:18 Everything has a meaning. 36:19 Everything fits on there 36:21 and then you say the mercy seat, 36:22 you know. It represents God's mercy. 36:24 It represents His merits, 36:26 that He is willing to pass on to us. 36:28 I'm thankful for that. God's glory rested above what? 36:31 The mercy seat signifying that is the throne. 36:34 That's right. See that is His government. 36:36 Where does He sit? 36:38 Where does His government sit on? 36:39 What we've been talking about. On the Ten Commandment law. 36:42 Everything is based upon that. Amen. 36:45 To me the way that I'm looking at this, 36:47 trying to get that, I mean, I'm learning so much. 36:48 This is fantastic. God has a plan. 36:51 He's always had a plan. Amen. 36:54 Right. 36:55 And the idea of plan went askew, 36:59 but He still had a plan. 37:01 Yes. 37:02 And then, and it's a progressive plan. 37:06 Okay, and so as we look at the big plan starting 37:09 with Genesis going through Revelation, 37:11 we're seeing how it progresses. 37:14 And all the different generations 37:16 has a place to play in order to work all this out. 37:21 So we had to go through this because otherwise 37:24 He's a God of confusion and He's not. 37:27 So we had to come back down here. 37:29 And the way that I'm looking at this, 37:31 we just happened to be 37:32 born during part of this plan that... 37:35 Yes. 37:36 You're getting into it now, Brother? 37:38 No, and that... We are part... 37:43 We just happened to be born. Can you be part of the remnant? 37:46 Yes, you can. Amen. 37:47 Come on. That's right. 37:48 And because it's part of His plan. 37:50 Now how do we know if we're part of His plan? 37:53 Well, there is the Holy Spirit, that's our best friend 37:56 that's sitting there and that woos us and directs us 38:00 and to be part of the plan. 38:04 And so here we are sitting at the table taking something 38:08 that man broke. 38:11 And is trying to set here the best we can 38:13 in our little bitty tiny space to contribute positively. 38:17 So at the time in 1800, 38:21 they had what they had to work with. 38:23 In 1700 and 1600. 38:26 By the year 2000, we progressed. 38:29 That's right. Oh, wow. 38:30 And we have the opportunity. We all have the opportunity. 38:33 That's right. 38:35 The knowledge that is available to us. 38:37 I admit when you said, you know, 38:39 to be a part of this plan, 38:40 to be a part of this sanctuary message 38:43 I've read before we were on the hour. 38:45 This Baptist scholar, John Gill. 38:49 John is an awesome name in scripture, isn't it? 38:51 A lot of the people that were restorers of this were 38:54 John, John, John, John. 38:55 But this is what he wrote from his commentary 39:00 on Daniel 8:14. 39:01 And this was prior 39:03 to the 2300 days being fulfilled. 39:07 But listen to what he said. 39:09 'cause a lot of people say, 39:10 "Oh, that's an Adventist doctrine." 39:12 This is a Baptist. This is a Baptist. 39:15 These 2300 days, he was studying the 2300 day 39:18 prophecy out of scripture. 39:19 Says, these 2300 days may be considered as 39:23 so many years which will bring it down 39:25 to the end of the six millenniums. 39:27 He was doing his math 39:29 better than most of us could do, 39:30 better than I probably could've done. 39:32 Or thereabout, when it may be hoped. 39:35 See he had an awareness of what the devil had done. 39:38 When it maybe hoped that there will be a new phase 39:41 of things upon the sanctuary and the church of God, 39:45 and the cleansing of it from all corruption 39:49 in doctrine. 39:50 That's what the devil did. 39:52 He came in and he corrupted all God's doctrine 39:55 through the sanctuary. 39:56 Discipline, worship, and conversation. 39:58 Restitution of all things. 40:02 That is so beautiful. 40:03 And there's just so many gems out there. 40:06 It's just that most of the times 40:07 we don't go out studying. 40:09 There's another thing I wanted to point out in Ezekiel 40:13 that I thought was very interesting. 40:16 Is this it? 40:18 Well, no, I don't think so. 40:21 But go ahead. 40:22 I just wanna mention, you know, 'cause you brought out 40:23 something really good, Brother JD. 40:25 And that's the fact that, 40:26 you know, you mentioned 40:28 we just happened to be here during this time. 40:30 And I wanna clarify, 40:32 and I believe I knew you meant by that, 40:34 you know, God makes no mistakes. 40:36 And I believe it. 40:38 Each and every person that is alive during this time. 40:40 We're not here by coincidence or just some random selection. 40:44 God has raised us up as a people in these last days 40:48 to vindicate His name, His character. 40:50 Now you ask, "What's the purpose 40:52 of Christians in the last days?" 40:54 Let me read you a couple of quotes. 40:55 They're fantastic. 40:57 This comes from Counsels to the Church, page 240. 41:00 Listen to these powerful words. 41:02 She says, "God has a distinct people, 41:04 a church on earth, second to none, 41:07 but superior to all in their facilities 41:10 to teach the truth, notice, 41:11 to vindicate the law of God. 41:14 God has divinely appointed agencies, 41:16 men and women He is leading, 41:18 who have borne the heat and burden of the day, 41:20 who are cooperating with heavenly instrumentalities 41:23 to advance the kingdom of Christ in our world." 41:26 And then she gives this counsel. 41:28 "Let all unite with these chosen agents, 41:30 and be found at last among those 41:33 who have the patience of the saints, 41:34 who keep the commandments of God, 41:36 and have the faith of Jesus." 41:37 That's the third angel's... 41:39 Notice the first angel's message starts with it 41:41 and then God ends the third angel's message 41:43 by saying, "Hey, you know what? 41:44 Here's the patience of my people, 41:46 the saints of the Lord 41:47 who will keep the commandments of God 41:49 and have the testimony." 41:50 And then on page 345 of that same book, 41:52 Counsels to the Church, 41:54 she ties it together here. 41:55 Notice here. 41:56 "Just before us in the closing struggle 41:58 of the great controversy 41:59 when, with all power and signs and lying wonders, 42:02 and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness. 42:04 Satan is to work to misrepresent, 42:07 notice, the character of God, 42:09 that he may seduce if it were possible, 42:11 even the elect." 42:13 And she says this, powerful. 42:14 "If there was ever a people 42:16 in need of constantly increasing light from heaven, 42:19 it is that people, in this time of peril, 42:22 God has called to be 42:23 the depositaries of His holy law 42:26 and to vindicate His character before the world. 42:29 Those to whom He has committed a trust so sacred 42:33 must be spiritualized, elevated, vitalized, 42:35 by the truths they profess to believe." 42:37 That is powerful. It is so powerful. 42:38 That caps it all together right there. 42:39 Yes, it is. 42:41 And the beautiful thing is 42:42 it's not hitting someone over the head. 42:44 Jesus said, "Love your neighbors as yourself. 42:47 And love the, you know, God of heaven." 42:49 And He says, "On these two, hang on the law." 42:51 Right. Yes. 42:52 And so many people say, "Oh, see God. 42:54 Jesus gave us a different law." 42:55 No. 42:56 He was just telling us that it's all encapsulated by love. 43:00 And a while ago I pointed out about the mercy seat, 43:03 about Christ coming down. 43:05 The God of heaven, our Creator actually paying a penalty, 43:10 His own penalty for our sins. 43:13 And it was because it was all encapsulated by love. 43:17 That's right. 43:18 And so when we present this law, 43:19 I think that's where we've gone wrong 43:21 as a people many times, 43:23 as it's not been done in love. 43:25 Yeah, there's something that came in my mind. 43:26 It's kind of not to get off subject 43:28 but when we think about the sanctuary that Moses built, 43:31 what was it covered in? 43:33 It covered in badger skins, right? 43:34 Skins. That's right. 43:36 What are we made of here? 43:37 Skin. 43:39 I'll just read this in Jeremiah 31 to 34. 43:42 Says, "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, 43:44 that I'll make a new covenant with the house of Israel, 43:45 and with the house of Judah, not according to the covenant 43:47 that I made with their fathers 43:49 in the day that I took them by the hand 43:50 to bring them out of the land of Egypt, 43:52 which my covenant they brake, 43:54 although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord." 43:55 Here it is, verse 33. 43:57 "But this shall be the covenant 43:58 that I will make with the house of Israel, 43:59 after those days, saith the Lord, 44:01 I'll put my law in their inward parts, 44:03 and write it in their hearts, and I will be their God, 44:06 and they shall be My people." 44:08 So that skin that's over the sanctuary. 44:11 Actually we have skin. 44:12 I never thought of it that way. 44:14 And you think about it's in here. 44:17 The law is now in here, it's in our human parts. 44:19 That's right. Let's go quick. 44:20 We got three minutes or so left. 44:22 I found something very important 44:24 I thought in the Most Holy Place, 44:25 there has to be an experience. 44:27 We need experience in Most Holy Place. 44:28 I'm gonna give a couple of just valiant do, 44:30 just read them. 44:32 It says, "We must follow Christ by faith 44:33 in the work of atonement to receive its benefits." 44:36 We talked about that to begin with. 44:38 Jesus entered the Most Holy Place 44:41 foreshadowed in type in the earthly sanctuary. 44:44 So He stayed there in earthly sanctuary. 44:47 You know exactly where Christ is at 44:48 and what He is doing. 44:49 He went into the Most Holy Place 44:51 to cleanse it of what? 44:52 You mentioned in the beginning. Of sin. 44:54 That's his last stop for work for mankind 44:57 when you keep that in our mind. 44:58 Christ ministers in behalf of sinners. 45:01 He's there because I'm a sinner and I'm in need of a savior. 45:04 I need His grace. 45:06 And He said, "I'm there for you, 45:07 I'm gonna be pleading your case." 45:09 He pleads his case with His blood. 45:11 Praise God for that. 45:13 Before the Father, 45:14 and before the Ark of the Covenant, why? 45:17 Because we've broken the law of God. 45:19 Jesus, heavenly sanctuary still pleading His blood 45:22 because of broken law. 45:24 Of course, we find the judgment in Daniel 7, 45:26 you know, 9, 10, 11, 13 and 14, 45:29 Daniel 8:14. 45:30 And then onward then Daniel 9 45:32 come 2300 day prophecy. 45:34 So the judgment hour 1844, 45:36 you mentioned the first angel's message was given. 45:38 And the Christ in the Most Holy Place, 45:40 what is He doing? 45:41 Forgiveness of sin, talking about character work, 45:43 and the blotting out forever of sin 45:46 because of what? 45:47 Sins are symbolically stored 45:49 until what comes to the time of the end of judgment, 45:51 our name comes up and then the blotting out. 45:53 I'm looking forward to that. Amen. 45:55 Special truth that comes out of this sanctuary study 45:57 certainly is light, you know, 45:59 light on the seventh day Sabbath 46:01 is what we were trying to bring in here 46:03 this morning to be restored 46:04 all Ten Commandments of God's law. 46:07 And we realize the big Sabbath question 46:10 that test is not to what, after 1844. 46:13 So the big test is there 46:15 because God's raised the people who understand this message 46:17 and we wanna give this message 46:18 and bring it to the world before Jesus comes. 46:21 Got one minute left. 46:22 Somebody got just a quick thought or two. 46:24 All this is part of His original plan. 46:25 You know, this is part of it, you know. 46:28 So you can't just sit here... 46:29 If the puzzle has 10 parts, you can't just say 46:32 you'd have a finished puzzle with nine parts. 46:35 I think, you know, 46:37 when Christ finishes His work in the Most Holy, 46:39 He stands up and He says, "It is done." 46:42 And I think it's for up to us 46:44 which side we're gonna be on 46:46 because once it is done, probation has closed. 46:48 You know, let those 46:50 who are righteous be righteous still, 46:51 those who are filthy be filthy still. 46:54 God will never force anyone to love Him. 46:57 But He's calling each and every one of you 46:59 to love Him. 47:00 And it's your choice which side you will be on. 47:03 And third angel's message is going to do its work. 47:05 That's right. 47:06 Right, and we're gonna be tested on 47:08 and we wanna be found faithful and know what you do. 47:10 And that's why we've been studying this Word of God. 47:12 We pray this had been a blessing. 47:14 I wanna just thank each and every one of you. 47:15 We only have 15 seconds left. 47:17 So we're gonna go out with prayer. 47:19 And if we keep going we just go ahead and pray. 47:21 You pray along with us. 47:22 Thank you for joining us. We love you. 47:24 We appreciate you to study and if you have questions, 47:25 be sure and give us call. 47:27 Let's pray. Brother Ryan, will you? |
