00:01:41.26\00:01:44.23
You make the

00:01:44.27\00:01:46.87

Idalia: I don't know what's
more challenging, you know,
00:02:22.37\00:02:24.87
is it the
question or the time...
00:02:24.91\00:02:26.74
two minutes per question, right?
00:02:26.78\00:02:28.48

00:02:52.50\00:02:54.57

so, let's go to
the Lord in prayer.
00:03:24.07\00:03:26.17
"Father God,
00:03:26.20\00:03:27.54
thank You so much for
Your goodness and Your mercy.
00:03:27.60\00:03:31.24
Thank You for Your
Word, it comforts us...
00:03:31.27\00:03:33.98
that wisdom...
00:03:34.04\00:03:35.68
we have peace,
Lord, as we read Your Word
00:03:35.71\00:03:39.05
and thank You, Father
that it is light unto our feet
00:03:39.08\00:03:46.09
and it directs our path.
00:03:46.12\00:03:47.99
We want to come to You...
00:03:48.02\00:03:49.86
we want to know You...
00:03:49.89\00:03:51.63
we want to understand
Your great and amazing love
00:03:51.66\00:03:54.76
and Your plan of salvation
00:03:54.83\00:03:56.46
so, we can share with others.
00:03:56.50\00:03:58.10
So, please Lord,
be with us... in us...
00:03:58.13\00:04:01.57
and may Your Word speak
for itself during this hour,
00:04:01.60\00:04:05.17
in Jesus' name, amen. "
00:04:05.34\00:04:07.01
Panel: Amen... amen.
00:04:07.08\00:04:08.41
Idalia: Well Folks,

Well, ready for
the Class for today?
00:04:45.78\00:04:49.85
Ryan: Let's do it... do it.
00:04:49.88\00:04:51.62
Idalia: Ready? Very
good. Panel: Laughter.
00:04:51.65\00:04:53.72
Idalia: Ryan. Ryan: Yes.
00:04:53.76\00:04:55.62
Idalia: This is your
question. Ryan: All right.
00:04:55.66\00:04:57.93
Idalia: Who is the
abomination of desolation?
00:04:57.96\00:05:00.26
Nikki from
Chicago wants to know.
00:05:00.33\00:05:02.50
Ryan: Thank you Nikki
for sending in this question.
00:05:02.53\00:05:04.47
Pray for that clock...
00:05:04.50\00:05:05.83
it's not so much who the
abomination of desolation is
00:05:05.87\00:05:09.07
but what is the
abomination of desolation
00:05:09.10\00:05:11.37
and Biblically speaking,
00:05:11.41\00:05:12.94
it comes technically
in three different phases
00:05:12.97\00:05:15.81
and three different time frames.
00:05:15.84\00:05:17.78
Now, the one that
people are more prominently
00:05:17.81\00:05:20.52
recognizing in
the text of Scripture
00:05:20.55\00:05:22.58
that they often reference is
what Jesus says in Matthew 24
00:05:22.62\00:05:26.49
verse 15 when He
references and says,
00:05:26.52\00:05:28.39
"Therefore when you see the
'abomination of desolation,'
00:05:28.42\00:05:30.63
spoken by Daniel the prophet,
00:05:30.66\00:05:32.06
standing in the holy place... "
00:05:32.09\00:05:33.50
Now, when you go back and study
what Jesus was talking about
00:05:33.53\00:05:35.96
within that context...
that tribulation context...
00:05:36.00\00:05:38.80
in this case it was within
the context of the destruction
00:05:38.83\00:05:41.97
of Jerusalem,
00:05:42.00\00:05:43.37
you know that we're
going to Daniel 9:27
00:05:43.41\00:05:46.14
because it says there,
00:05:46.17\00:05:47.74
in the latter
part of Daniel 9:27
00:05:47.78\00:05:49.44
within the context of
the 70-week time prophecy,
00:05:49.48\00:05:52.68
it says, "Even
until the consummation,
00:05:52.71\00:05:54.65
which is determined, is
poured out on the desolate. "
00:05:54.68\00:05:57.35
so, let's go back
one more line there,
00:05:57.39\00:05:58.72
I'm sorry, I should have
read the line before that,
00:05:58.75\00:06:00.39
it says, "On the
wing of abominations
00:06:00.42\00:06:02.26
shall be one who makes desolate,
00:06:02.29\00:06:04.06
even until the consummation,
which is determined,
00:06:04.09\00:06:06.49
is poured out on the desolate. "
00:06:06.53\00:06:08.03
This particular abomination
which I call kind of Phase One,
00:06:08.06\00:06:11.07
or the first
abomination of desolation,
00:06:11.10\00:06:13.03
is the one Jesus was
referencing here in Matthew 24,
00:06:13.10\00:06:16.54
because it comes
within the context
00:06:16.57\00:06:18.17
of the 70 A.D.
destruction of Jerusalem.
00:06:18.21\00:06:20.81
If you read Matthew 24
there Jesus is telling the Jews,
00:06:20.88\00:06:23.45
"Look, you know, Jerusalem
is going to be destroyed
00:06:23.48\00:06:25.98
and know that during
this time, when you see... "
00:06:26.01\00:06:28.55
in fact, Luke
chapter 21 verse 20,
00:06:28.58\00:06:31.32
notice what He says here...
00:06:31.35\00:06:32.69
this is the same equivalent
passage to Matthew 24...
00:06:32.72\00:06:35.19
He says, "But when you see
Jerusalem surrounded by armies,
00:06:35.22\00:06:38.59
then know that this
desolation is near. "
00:06:38.63\00:06:40.90
So in this one right
here... this is the first one
00:06:40.93\00:06:43.37
which is referring to
the abomination of desolation
00:06:43.43\00:06:45.90
in which the Roman armies...
Titus and his Roman armies
00:06:45.93\00:06:48.34
would come and put their Roman
pagan standards in the ground
00:06:48.37\00:06:51.27
outside of Jerusalem... they
would encamp around Jerusalem
00:06:51.31\00:06:54.18
and siege them for seven years
00:06:54.24\00:06:56.54
and ultimately that
came to an end in 70 A.D.
00:06:56.58\00:06:59.05
That's the first
abomination of desolation
00:06:59.08\00:07:01.58
that Jesus was speaking of here.
00:07:01.62\00:07:02.95
The second phase comes
within the context of Daniel 12
00:07:02.98\00:07:06.62
in which it talks about
basically right here in verse 11
00:07:06.65\00:07:10.46
and it says, "And from that time
00:07:10.49\00:07:12.36
the daily
sacrifice is taken away,
00:07:12.39\00:07:14.20
and the abomination of
desolation is set up... "
00:07:14.23\00:07:16.67
in this particular
"abomination of desolation"
00:07:16.70\00:07:18.70
in Daniel 12,
00:07:18.73\00:07:20.14
this is speaking of a
time in which in 508 A.D.,
00:07:20.17\00:07:23.00
there would be
abomination set up in the church
00:07:23.04\00:07:26.14
that would bring about
00:07:26.17\00:07:27.51
this particular Antichrist Papal
Power's desolation in 1798.
00:07:27.58\00:07:32.85
Of course, it starts in 508
00:07:32.88\00:07:35.12
which is... when you read in
that text there in Daniel 12,
00:07:35.15\00:07:37.62
it talks about a
1290-day prophecy,
00:07:37.65\00:07:39.99
but we know the
year-day principle applied there
00:07:40.06\00:07:42.46
brings that 1,290 years
00:07:42.49\00:07:45.03
and so, in 508
A.D. what happened?
00:07:45.06\00:07:47.20
There was an abomination set up
00:07:47.23\00:07:49.23
that brought about
the desolation temporarily
00:07:49.26\00:07:51.40
for this Power...
this Papal System.
00:07:51.43\00:07:53.54
In 508 A.D. the
priesthood was set up
00:07:53.60\00:07:55.57
and it basically was set
up to eclipse or to usurp
00:07:55.60\00:07:58.74
that of the
mediatorial work of Jesus Christ
00:07:58.81\00:08:01.34
in other words... man was
placed in the place of Jesus
00:08:01.38\00:08:04.18
and so, that was
an abomination...
00:08:04.21\00:08:06.05
that's the abomination of
desolation spoken of by Daniel
00:08:06.08\00:08:08.78
in Daniel chapter 12.
00:08:08.85\00:08:10.22
The third and final
abomination of desolation
00:08:10.25\00:08:12.39
comes within the
context of the harlot
00:08:12.42\00:08:14.29
in Revelation 17
when it says there,
00:08:14.49\00:08:16.56
basically... she has
a golden cup in her hand
00:08:16.59\00:08:19.49
full of abominations
00:08:19.53\00:08:20.86
and the filthiness
of her fornication...
00:08:20.93\00:08:22.36
this latter-day abomination that
takes place in the last days
00:08:22.40\00:08:26.17
prior to the
second coming of Jesus
00:08:26.20\00:08:27.70
is the third phase of
abomination of desolation
00:08:27.77\00:08:30.21
in which this Papal
System in the last days...
00:08:30.24\00:08:32.57
this harlot system...
00:08:32.61\00:08:34.01
she is... with all of her
abominations and her filthiness
00:08:34.08\00:08:36.78
she is deceiving
millions and millions of people
00:08:36.85\00:08:39.58
and it brings about
even her final desolation
00:08:39.61\00:08:42.25
at the second coming of Jesus.
00:08:42.28\00:08:43.79
Shelley: Ooooooh...
00:08:43.82\00:08:45.15
Ryan: I went a little bit
over on time here, I wish I...
00:08:45.19\00:08:47.09
I'm going to hopefully
preach a sermon on this one day
00:08:47.16\00:08:49.16
and cover all three of them.
00:08:49.19\00:08:50.53
Panel: Amen...
amen. Idalia: Thank you...
00:08:50.56\00:08:53.26
well praise the
Lord for our 3ABN+ App,
00:08:53.29\00:08:55.86
you guys can also download
it and also watch these Programs
00:08:55.90\00:09:00.60
as they are
also available there.
00:09:00.67\00:09:03.00
Thank you so much, Pastor Ryan.
00:09:03.04\00:09:05.34
That was
thrilling... that was wonderful.
00:09:05.37\00:09:07.71
Now, we have the next question
00:09:07.74\00:09:10.18
and this is for
Mrs. Shelley Quinn.
00:09:10.21\00:09:12.45
Shelley, how do we give space
to those whose pre-suppositions
00:09:12.48\00:09:18.85
are different from us,
00:09:18.89\00:09:20.32
especially those
of different faiths?
00:09:20.39\00:09:23.49
Dan from Colorado wants to know.
00:09:23.56\00:09:25.63
Shelley: I think this is
an excellent question Dan
00:09:25.66\00:09:27.60
and what I could say is
00:09:27.66\00:09:29.70
start off by bathing
all of your interactions
00:09:29.73\00:09:32.70
with the other person in prayer
00:09:32.73\00:09:34.27
and don't quarrel.
00:09:34.30\00:09:36.30
We've got to pray that God
will bring a change of mind
00:09:36.37\00:09:41.61
in repentance to
people, 2nd Timothy 2:24 and 25,
00:09:41.64\00:09:45.38
says, "Servants of
the Lord must not quarrel
00:09:45.41\00:09:47.62
but be gentle...
able to teach, patient,
00:09:47.65\00:09:49.88
in humility correcting
those who are in opposition,
00:09:49.92\00:09:55.66
if perhaps God will
grant them repentance,
00:09:55.69\00:09:59.39
so that they may
know the truth. "
00:09:59.43\00:10:01.13
So, don't be disrespectful...
00:10:01.16\00:10:03.23
don't be arrogant
because you'll turn people off
00:10:03.26\00:10:07.10
instead of
drawing them to the truth.
00:10:07.14\00:10:08.80
Pray that God will pour His love
into your heart for the people.
00:10:08.84\00:10:14.98
In 1st Corinthians
13:1 and 2, I love this,
00:10:15.01\00:10:18.68
Paul says, "Even if I speak
with the tongues of angels,
00:10:18.71\00:10:22.42
and if I don't have love,
00:10:22.45\00:10:24.55
I'm nothing more
than clanging cymbals.
00:10:24.59\00:10:26.92
And even if I have
all the faith and prophecy
00:10:26.96\00:10:29.52
and I don't have love... "
00:10:29.56\00:10:32.13
he says... "I'm nothing. "
00:10:32.16\00:10:34.03
So, love is how we
should interact with others.
00:10:34.10\00:10:37.97
Salt your
conversations with questions.
00:10:38.00\00:10:41.87
Colossians 4:6 says,
00:10:41.90\00:10:43.94
"Let your speech always be
with grace, seasoned with salt,
00:10:43.97\00:10:48.01
so that you may know how
you ought to answer each one. "
00:10:48.04\00:10:51.75
You can says something like,
"That's an interesting opinion,
00:10:51.78\00:10:55.38
could you tell me more?"
00:10:55.42\00:10:56.75
Or, "What do you mean when
you say... such and such...
00:10:56.82\00:10:59.52
May I ask you why?"
00:10:59.55\00:11:02.62
I asked somebody
this the other day,
00:11:02.66\00:11:04.33
"Why do you believe
what you are saying...
00:11:04.36\00:11:06.63
have you considered
what the Bible says?"
00:11:06.70\00:11:08.83
Listen for understanding,
in James 1:9 it says,
00:11:08.86\00:11:13.00
"Let every man be swift to hear,
slow to speak, slow to wrath. "
00:11:13.03\00:11:16.97
So, we need to ask God to help
us understand their experience
00:11:17.01\00:11:20.34
and emotion
00:11:20.38\00:11:21.94
and then know the Scriptures
and speak the truth in love.
00:11:21.98\00:11:27.08
Finally, you can ask, "Are you
interested in a Bible Study?"
00:11:27.12\00:11:32.09
Idalia: Amen...
thank you Shelley,
00:11:32.12\00:11:34.22
that was beautiful.
00:11:34.26\00:11:35.59
Well, John Dinzey,
this is your first question,
00:11:35.62\00:11:40.20
As character is
revealed in crisis,
00:11:40.26\00:11:43.60
how can we show
forth God's character
00:11:43.70\00:11:47.07
through the Coronavirus crisis?"
00:11:47.10\00:11:49.67
Viewer from
Georgia wants to know,
00:11:49.70\00:11:51.97
I'm sure many other people too.
00:11:52.04\00:11:54.24
Dinzey: Thank you
so much, you know,
00:11:54.28\00:11:56.48
when we look at Jesus,
00:11:56.51\00:11:58.48
we can see that He loved people
00:11:58.51\00:12:01.25
and one of the
first things we can do
00:12:01.28\00:12:03.59
is show our love to people
during the time of crisis.
00:12:03.62\00:12:07.16
Not only pray for them
because yes, I'll pray for you
00:12:07.19\00:12:10.43
but pray for them...
00:12:10.46\00:12:11.79
and what practical thing
can you do during this time
00:12:11.83\00:12:14.36
because you know there
are people that are afraid,
00:12:14.40\00:12:17.23
there are people
that have lost loved ones,
00:12:17.27\00:12:19.67
there are people that
need help getting things
00:12:19.70\00:12:22.04
to help them along the time
when perhaps they're infected.
00:12:22.07\00:12:26.31
They may need a thermometer...
00:12:26.34\00:12:27.68
they may need your help to
get some food into their home
00:12:27.71\00:12:30.51
because they are supposed
to be isolating themselves
00:12:30.55\00:12:34.68
and maybe they need help
getting groceries, vitamins
00:12:34.72\00:12:37.45
and things of this nature
00:12:37.49\00:12:38.99
because it is a
time they're afraid...
00:12:39.02\00:12:42.26
share Scriptures with them
00:12:42.29\00:12:43.63
and maybe you can
share some sermons.
00:12:43.69\00:12:46.26
Let them know how
they can watch 3ABN
00:12:46.29\00:12:48.73
because we have
very encouraging programs
00:12:48.76\00:12:51.13
and as a matter of fact,
00:12:51.17\00:12:52.50
even programs that help
you take care of your health.
00:12:52.53\00:12:56.74
So, one of the things
with this crisis is...
00:12:56.84\00:12:59.57
helping people build
up their immune system.
00:12:59.61\00:13:02.38
My wife, Idalia,
came up with this tea
00:13:02.41\00:13:07.05
that she shared with people,
00:13:07.12\00:13:08.45
we have helped people
00:13:08.48\00:13:09.82
in the different
things I have mentioned
00:13:09.85\00:13:12.02
when we've gone
to get groceries...
00:13:12.05\00:13:14.29
we've gone to... we
brought them vitamins
00:13:14.32\00:13:15.82
and thermometer... even a...
00:13:15.86\00:13:17.73
an oximeter... so they can
measure their oxygen level.
00:13:17.76\00:13:22.76
So, there are some
Scriptures that come to mind
00:13:22.80\00:13:25.53
as we look at this
in Matthew 22 verse 39,
00:13:25.57\00:13:27.94
the last part says,
00:13:27.97\00:13:29.30
"You shall love your
neighbor as yourself. "
00:13:29.34\00:13:32.01
Matthew 7:12,
00:13:32.04\00:13:33.38
"Therefore, whatever
you want men to do to you,
00:13:33.44\00:13:35.74
do also to them
00:13:35.78\00:13:37.71
for this is the
law and the prophets. "
00:13:37.75\00:13:39.75
One more...
Matthew chapter 5 verse 14,
00:13:39.78\00:13:42.52
actually, verse 16,
00:13:42.55\00:13:43.89
"Let your light
so shine before men,
00:13:43.95\00:13:46.19
that they may
see your good works
00:13:46.22\00:13:48.82
and glorify your
Father in heaven. "
00:13:48.86\00:13:51.43
Panel: Hmmm... hmmm.
00:13:51.46\00:13:52.86
Dinzey: So, during
the time of crisis,
00:13:52.89\00:13:54.56
show the love of God to people.
00:13:54.56\00:13:56.36
They need the love of God
00:13:56.40\00:13:57.97
and, you know, even the family
members may need encouragement
00:13:58.03\00:14:02.40
during this time
00:14:02.47\00:14:03.81
so, there are many
ways in which you can show
00:14:03.91\00:14:05.47
the character of Christ
during the time of crisis.
00:14:05.51\00:14:08.88
Panel: Amen.
Idalia: Thank you very much.
00:14:08.91\00:14:11.21
Now, we continue
with the next question,
00:14:11.25\00:14:13.52
and this is from Linda
from Redding, California
00:14:13.55\00:14:16.55
and the question is:
00:14:16.58\00:14:18.15
At the cross, Jesus
asked for them to be forgiven,
00:14:18.19\00:14:23.53
is there a specific resurrection
00:14:23.56\00:14:25.96
for those who hung Jesus
on the cross? Pastor Ryan.
00:14:25.99\00:14:28.80
Ryan: Okay, all right
now that's a great question
00:14:28.86\00:14:31.67
and the answer
to that question is,
00:14:31.73\00:14:33.74
yes, I believe that the
Bible clearly communicates
00:14:33.80\00:14:36.57
that there will be
a special resurrection
00:14:36.67\00:14:38.67
for those
individuals who were involved
00:14:38.71\00:14:40.74
or had anything to do with the
crucifixion of the Son of God
00:14:40.78\00:14:44.25
and so, where we
get this from is...
00:14:44.28\00:14:45.81
we're going to start
in Matthew chapter 26.
00:14:45.85\00:14:47.65
Remember, Jesus is on trial
00:14:47.72\00:14:49.18
and he's standing
before Caiaphas the High Priest
00:14:49.22\00:14:52.29
and all of the Sanhedrin there,
00:14:52.32\00:14:54.72
and basically, in
Matthew 26 verse 64,
00:14:54.76\00:14:57.43
Jesus says to
him... because they just...
00:14:57.49\00:14:59.23
they basically are
asking Him questions,
00:14:59.26\00:15:01.03
"Are you... are you Him...
00:15:01.06\00:15:02.46
are you going to admit
that you are the Son of God?
00:15:02.50\00:15:05.20
Are you this coming Messiah
that everyone's talking about?"
00:15:05.23\00:15:07.94
Notice, Jesus'
response in Matthew 26 verse 64,
00:15:07.97\00:15:11.17
it says, "Jesus said
unto him, 'It is as you said.
00:15:11.21\00:15:14.38
nevertheless, I say to you,
00:15:14.41\00:15:16.31
hereafter you... '"
notice that direct word there,
00:15:16.34\00:15:19.58
"you will see the Son of Man
00:15:19.61\00:15:21.45
sitting at the
right-hand of Power,
00:15:21.48\00:15:22.95
and coming on the
clouds of heaven. "
00:15:22.98\00:15:25.15
I don't believe that this
is figurative in the slightest.
00:15:25.19\00:15:27.89
I believe this is very literal,
00:15:27.92\00:15:29.26
Jesus is saying to them,
00:15:29.29\00:15:30.73
"You will see me coming
in the clouds of heaven. "
00:15:30.76\00:15:33.06
Now, tie that to
what Jesus again says
00:15:33.09\00:15:35.76
in Revelation chapter 1 verse 7,
00:15:35.80\00:15:37.93
because again He brings about...
He confirms this promise
00:15:37.97\00:15:40.90
that He made to Caiaphas
and the priesthood that day,
00:15:40.94\00:15:43.87
Revelation
chapter 1 verse 7 says,
00:15:43.91\00:15:45.97
"Behold, He is
coming with clouds,
00:15:46.01\00:15:48.04
and every eye will see Him... "
00:15:48.08\00:15:50.05
again... speaking
of the second coming,
00:15:50.11\00:15:51.51
"even they who pierced Him.
00:15:51.55\00:15:54.28
And all the tribes of the earth
will mourn because of Him. "
00:15:54.32\00:15:57.69
So, all of those individuals...
00:15:57.72\00:15:59.09
the Priesthood... Caiaphas...
00:15:59.12\00:16:00.52
those individuals...
those Roman guards...
00:16:00.59\00:16:03.22
even though Jesus did say,
00:16:03.29\00:16:04.63
"Father, forgive them for
they know not what they do. "
00:16:04.66\00:16:07.03
Jesus did want
forgiveness for them
00:16:07.13\00:16:08.80
and if they were
willing and humble
00:16:08.83\00:16:10.50
to submit themselves afterward,
I'm sure to say, "Lord, I...
00:16:10.57\00:16:13.84
I have nailed the
Son of God to a tree... "
00:16:13.87\00:16:16.30
you know in reality...
00:16:16.34\00:16:17.67
each and every one of us
have nailed Jesus to the tree
00:16:17.71\00:16:20.68
because we're responsible...
00:16:20.71\00:16:22.04
our sins have
nailed Jesus to that cross.
00:16:22.08\00:16:23.78
But I believe within the
literal context here, we can say
00:16:23.85\00:16:26.92
that there will be
a Special Resurrection
00:16:26.95\00:16:28.88
for those individuals
who had a direct part to play
00:16:28.92\00:16:32.35
in the murdering of the
Son of God atop the cross
00:16:32.42\00:16:35.69
and in this case, I think the
Bible backs it up very clearly.
00:16:35.72\00:16:38.73
Idalia: Thank
you Pastor Ryan Day.
00:16:38.76\00:16:41.50
Now, Shelley, your question is:
00:16:41.53\00:16:44.13
this is so precious because
even children are participating,
00:16:44.17\00:16:48.14
so, encourage your children
to watch the Program as well.
00:16:48.17\00:16:52.41
Now, this is Nancy who sends
in this comment and question:
00:16:52.44\00:16:56.58
My son, who is early
in his journey with Jesus,
00:16:56.61\00:17:00.05
asked me to send
you this question.
00:17:00.08\00:17:02.58
"Why is heaven
described as being so beautiful,
00:17:02.65\00:17:06.32
brilliant gems
and streets of gold?
00:17:06.35\00:17:09.39
We will have mansions.
00:17:09.42\00:17:11.43
Aren't we supposed to be humble
as the New Testament teaches?
00:17:11.46\00:17:15.80
All we should need
is to be with Jesus. "
00:17:15.83\00:17:19.20
Shelley: Amen... amen...
it's a beautiful question
00:17:19.23\00:17:22.44
and Nancy, I'm
glad that your son...
00:17:22.47\00:17:24.61
you are obviously
teaching him properly.
00:17:24.64\00:17:26.54
Idalia: Amen.
00:17:26.57\00:17:27.91
Shelley: First, I
would like to say that
00:17:27.94\00:17:29.28
to be humble means that
we are dependent upon God.
00:17:29.31\00:17:33.52
That's what true humility is...
00:17:33.55\00:17:36.28
and riches... people can be rich
00:17:36.32\00:17:38.99
and still, be like
Abraham who was a wealthy man.
00:17:39.02\00:17:42.56
Job was a wealthy man
00:17:42.59\00:17:44.73
but the riches didn't
interrupt their humility
00:17:44.76\00:17:48.46
because they were
totally dependent upon God.
00:17:48.50\00:17:51.57
Here is what I want
to say to you though,
00:17:51.60\00:17:54.94
God creates with
spectacular beauty...
00:17:54.97\00:17:58.21
I mean, He has all that
is... all that He has created
00:17:58.24\00:18:03.08
is at His dispense, right,
00:18:03.14\00:18:05.98
and when we're
talking about heaven,
00:18:06.01\00:18:09.28
the New Jerusalem,
00:18:09.32\00:18:11.12
this represents God's sanctuary.
00:18:11.15\00:18:14.12
If you think about
this in the Old Testament,
00:18:14.19\00:18:17.56
think about how
beautiful God's sanctuary was
00:18:17.59\00:18:20.93
and it was
overlaid with golden things
00:18:20.96\00:18:23.97
so, when... when
we're talking about
00:18:24.00\00:18:27.84
the glories of
the celestial city,
00:18:27.87\00:18:31.14
it's expressed
in human language...
00:18:31.17\00:18:34.41
in things that... the pure
gold and the precious stones
00:18:34.44\00:18:39.68
so that we've got
some kind of concept
00:18:39.71\00:18:43.08
of how grandeur
this... grandiose this will be.
00:18:43.12\00:18:47.56
But it doesn't
represent everything
00:18:47.59\00:18:49.96
because 1st
Corinthians 2:9 says,
00:18:50.03\00:18:52.59
"Eye has not heard nor ear... "
00:18:52.66\00:18:55.20
I mean, "Eye has not
seen, ear has not heard
00:18:55.23\00:18:57.37
what God has prepared
for those who love Him. "
00:18:57.43\00:19:01.67
But I want to specifically
mention Revelation 21:21
00:19:01.70\00:19:05.31
it says...
street was pure gold...
00:19:05.34\00:19:07.31
like transparent glass...
00:19:07.34\00:19:10.08
think about this...
00:19:10.11\00:19:11.45
for gold to be transparent,
it has to be smelted
00:19:11.48\00:19:16.15
so that all of the
impurities can be removed
00:19:16.18\00:19:20.79
so, these golden
streets are transparent
00:19:20.82\00:19:24.63
and they reflect
the glory of the Lord
00:19:24.69\00:19:28.46
and I'll tell you what...
00:19:28.50\00:19:29.96
for all the precious jewels...
everything that God has done,
00:19:30.00\00:19:33.84
nothing's going to
be more spectacular
00:19:33.87\00:19:36.54
than the presence
of our Lord and Savior.
00:19:36.57\00:19:39.24
Idalia: Beautiful...
thank you... thank you, Shelley.
00:19:39.27\00:19:42.28
Thank you, Nancy...
00:19:42.31\00:19:43.65
well, John Dinzey, I
have a question for you,
00:19:43.68\00:19:46.38
you're ready for yours?
00:19:46.45\00:19:47.95
Dinzey: By God's grace.
00:19:47.98\00:19:49.45
Idalia: Okay,
Pastor Johnny, here we go,
00:19:49.48\00:19:52.05
"What is the Bible talking about
00:19:52.09\00:19:53.76
when it says, 'the
earth will give up its dead?'
00:19:53.79\00:19:57.53
Is that referring to
now or when Jesus returns?"
00:19:57.56\00:20:01.23
Tammy from Topeka,
Kansas, wants to know.
00:20:01.26\00:20:04.60
Dinzey: Very good, this takes
us to Revelation chapter 20
00:20:04.63\00:20:08.37
and I'm going to
read verse 13, 14 and 15,
00:20:08.44\00:20:12.34
"And the sea gave up
the dead which were in it,
00:20:12.37\00:20:15.51
and Death and Hell delivered
up the dead which were in them.
00:20:15.54\00:20:18.68
And they were judged, every
man according to their works.
00:20:18.71\00:20:22.15
And Death and Hell were
cast into the lake of fire.
00:20:22.18\00:20:24.79
This is the second death.
00:20:24.82\00:20:26.39
And whosoever was not found
written in the Book of Life
00:20:26.42\00:20:29.56
was cast into
the lake of fire. "
00:20:29.59\00:20:32.13
So, the question is,
00:20:32.16\00:20:33.50
what is the Bible
talking about when it says...
00:20:33.56\00:20:35.20
the earth will give up its dead?
00:20:35.23\00:20:36.60
Is it referring to
now or when Jesus returns?
00:20:36.63\00:20:40.67
This is referring to
the time after Jesus comes
00:20:40.77\00:20:44.74
and takes up the
righteous that were dead
00:20:44.77\00:20:47.74
and the righteous that
were living... to heaven
00:20:47.78\00:20:51.01
1,000 years pass and
then this takes place
00:20:51.05\00:20:53.95
that we just read in
Revelation chapter 20
00:20:53.98\00:20:56.75
and this idea of
giving up the dead means
00:20:56.82\00:20:59.52
that they are
resurrected to face the judgment
00:20:59.55\00:21:04.46
because it
says... they were judged
00:21:04.49\00:21:06.53
every man
according to their works
00:21:06.56\00:21:08.46
and so, this is what
it's talking about in
00:21:08.50\00:21:11.03
Revelation chapter
20 verses 13 and 14,
00:21:11.07\00:21:13.30
and I think this is
one of those questions
00:21:13.34\00:21:15.44
that we're going to
say... we ended in shorter time.
00:21:15.47\00:21:18.41
Panel: Oh, very
good... aaah... laughter.
00:21:18.44\00:21:20.64
Idalia: Thank you so much.
Shelley: I have never done that.
00:21:20.68\00:21:23.81
Panel: Laughter.
00:21:23.85\00:21:25.18
Idalia: Well, let's take a
moment and invite our friends
00:21:25.21\00:21:29.12

00:21:29.18\00:21:30.85

so, we're happy
to hear from you.
00:22:15.36\00:22:17.23
Would you like to
hear from Pastor Ryan now?
00:22:17.27\00:22:19.40
I sure would...
00:22:19.43\00:22:20.80
Pastor Ryan, please
who are these other sheep
00:22:20.84\00:22:25.14
Jesus is
referring to in John 10:16?
00:22:25.17\00:22:28.51
Genny wants to know.
00:22:28.58\00:22:29.91
Ryan: All right
Genny... Idalia: And so do I.
00:22:29.94\00:22:31.28
Ryan: All right, so this is
a... this is a great question,
00:22:31.31\00:22:33.48
thank you so much
for submitting this.
00:22:33.52\00:22:34.85
First of all, before we
can know who these sheep are,
00:22:34.88\00:22:37.69
we first need to just emphasize
the fact that Jesus prior to
00:22:37.72\00:22:40.99
verse 10 here,
excuse me, verse 16,
00:22:41.02\00:22:43.53
He identifies Himself as the
Shepherd of these sheep, okay,
00:22:43.59\00:22:48.36
and so, this is
definitely within the context
00:22:48.40\00:22:50.73
of Christian
language in the sense that
00:22:50.80\00:22:52.53
Jesus is addressing the
sheep to be Christian believers,
00:22:52.57\00:22:56.07
those people who follow Him
00:22:56.10\00:22:57.87
and so, we know very clearly
that we have to make this clear,
00:22:57.91\00:23:00.78
John chapter 14 verse 6,
00:23:00.81\00:23:02.14
Jesus says, "I am the
way, the truth, and the life:
00:23:02.18\00:23:04.38
no one comes to the
Father except through me. "
00:23:04.41\00:23:06.65
So, Jesus... when He's
speaking of these sheep...
00:23:06.72\00:23:08.88
these are believers...
00:23:08.92\00:23:10.29
these are people who
put their trust in Him.
00:23:10.32\00:23:11.65
Now, that being said then,
00:23:11.69\00:23:13.56
John 10:16... when He says,
00:23:13.59\00:23:15.52
"Other sheep I have,
which are not of this fold:
00:23:15.56\00:23:17.26
them I must also bring... "
00:23:17.33\00:23:18.86
we have to understand
that... first of all...
00:23:18.89\00:23:21.73
the context in
which He's speaking
00:23:21.76\00:23:23.10
in this particular passage...
He's speaking to the Jews
00:23:23.13\00:23:25.70
and these Jews... their
idea in this particular time
00:23:25.73\00:23:28.17
back in the day,
their idea was...
00:23:28.20\00:23:29.80
"You know what? All
of the other peoples...
00:23:29.84\00:23:31.21
all of the other nations...
00:23:31.24\00:23:32.57
the Gentiles...
they're all kind of dogs
00:23:32.61\00:23:34.38
and they're just
lower life forms... "
00:23:34.41\00:23:36.64
they did not have
a very high opinion
00:23:36.71\00:23:38.88
of... of the people around them
00:23:38.91\00:23:40.28
and in this case, Jesus is
referring to these Gentiles...
00:23:40.32\00:23:42.85
to the Jews
saying, "Of this fold...
00:23:42.88\00:23:44.72
I have other sheep
from this fold... "
00:23:44.75\00:23:46.55
because this fold
referring to the Jews,
00:23:46.59\00:23:48.19
they thought, "We
were the only fold...
00:23:48.22\00:23:49.69
we are the only ones that
are deserving of salvation. "
00:23:49.72\00:23:52.03
Jesus clarifies and
says, "No, no, no, no...
00:23:52.06\00:23:53.96
other sheep I have that
are not of this fold... "
00:23:54.00\00:23:56.50
so, in this way, we know
that Jesus was talking about
00:23:56.60\00:23:59.10
opening the
gospel to the Gentiles.
00:23:59.13\00:24:01.07
Now, there's a modern
application of this as well,
00:24:01.10\00:24:03.51
because I know many Christians
within the Christian church...
00:24:03.54\00:24:06.57
of different denominations...
00:24:06.61\00:24:07.94
who hold the
opinion that only us...
00:24:07.98\00:24:09.74
only we are the true Christians,
00:24:09.78\00:24:11.98
the only Christians
that will make it into heaven
00:24:12.01\00:24:14.02
and even Jesus says to
those people, "No, no, no,
00:24:14.05\00:24:16.02
wait a second...
00:24:16.05\00:24:17.39
you're not the only ones that
have not bowed the knee to Baal,
00:24:17.42\00:24:19.49
I have 7,000 more
just like you" right?
00:24:19.52\00:24:21.39
Just like He
said to... to Elijah,
00:24:21.42\00:24:23.26
we have to... even...
I have to just say this,
00:24:23.29\00:24:25.46
not being
critical or disrespectful
00:24:25.49\00:24:26.83
but even within my own
church, Seventh-day Adventism,
00:24:26.90\00:24:28.93
sometimes, some
of the Adventists
00:24:28.96\00:24:30.33
can have that mentality of...
00:24:30.37\00:24:31.70
"Ooooh, we are
God's remnant people... "
00:24:31.73\00:24:33.13
and I believe that
God has a remnant...
00:24:33.17\00:24:34.80
but lo, His
remnant is everywhere
00:24:34.84\00:24:36.50
and His sheep are
all over the world
00:24:36.54\00:24:38.21
"other sheep I have that are
not of this fold... " He says...
00:24:38.24\00:24:40.84
So, God's
people... this text is saying
00:24:40.88\00:24:42.68
that God has His
people everywhere
00:24:42.71\00:24:44.85
and these are those
who are following the Lamb
00:24:44.88\00:24:46.78
wherever He goes.
00:24:46.88\00:24:48.22
Idalia: Amen, thank you so much.
00:24:48.25\00:24:50.05
You know, you are such
a blessing, Pastor Ryan,
00:24:50.09\00:24:53.12
I really, really enjoy your...
your talks and your preaching
00:24:53.15\00:24:57.59
and how the Lord works in you.
00:24:57.63\00:24:58.96
Ryan: Praise
the Lord, thank you.
00:24:58.99\00:25:00.43
Idalia: Actually you three
people are so special to me.
00:25:00.46\00:25:02.60
But anyhow, we are
going to Shelley Quinn,
00:25:02.63\00:25:05.30
are you ready? Because
Brenda has a question for you.
00:25:05.33\00:25:09.00
Brenda from
Virginia wants to know,
00:25:09.04\00:25:11.34
What can we do to help
others not to be afraid?
00:25:11.37\00:25:15.38
Shelley: Ooooh, you know what?
00:25:15.41\00:25:17.25
Brenda, I'm so glad
you asked this question.
00:25:17.28\00:25:20.02
So many people are
fearful and let's face it,
00:25:20.05\00:25:22.75
we live in a
scary world, don't we?
00:25:22.78\00:25:25.22
You know, you watch the news
00:25:25.25\00:25:26.59
and it's kind of
like you're finishing...
00:25:26.62\00:25:28.72
you're like, huuuh huuuh...
00:25:28.76\00:25:30.13
but... first thing
is to be an example.
00:25:30.16\00:25:33.60
that's... if you want to
help others not be fearful,
00:25:33.63\00:25:37.37
when... Psalm 56 verse 3,
00:25:37.43\00:25:39.90
says, "When I'm
afraid... fear is natural.
00:25:39.93\00:25:44.74
but when I'm afraid,
O Lord, I trust in You.
00:25:44.77\00:25:47.74
So, if you show other
people that hey, fear is natural
00:25:47.78\00:25:52.45
but I just put my
trust in the Lord,
00:25:52.48\00:25:54.45
2nd Timothy 1:7 says,
00:25:54.48\00:25:56.42
God didn't give
us a spirit of fear
00:25:56.45\00:25:59.09
but a spirit of power and love
00:25:59.15\00:26:01.59
and self-control.
00:26:01.62\00:26:02.96
Now, the second thing I would do
00:26:02.99\00:26:04.73
is teach people that
God is with us and seek Him.
00:26:04.76\00:26:08.93
Seek His face... keep
their eyes focused on Him.
00:26:08.96\00:26:13.13
Psalm 34:4 says,
00:26:13.17\00:26:16.34
"I sought the
LORD, He answered me,
00:26:16.37\00:26:19.01
and delivered me
from all my fears. "
00:26:19.04\00:26:21.41
And Isaiah 41:10,
God says, "Fear not;
00:26:21.44\00:26:24.88
for I am with you:
00:26:24.91\00:26:26.25
I will strengthen you,
00:26:26.28\00:26:28.65
I will help you,
I will uphold you. "
00:26:28.68\00:26:31.39
and my favorite,
Isaiah 43:1 through 1,
00:26:31.42\00:26:35.42
where our Creator says,
"Fear not for I've redeemed you,
00:26:35.46\00:26:38.83
I have called you by
your name; you are Mine.
00:26:38.86\00:26:41.10
When you pass
through the waters,
00:26:41.13\00:26:42.83
I'm going to be with you;
they will not overwhelm you:
00:26:42.86\00:26:45.77
when you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned... "
00:26:45.80\00:26:48.54
it's... you're going to be like
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.
00:26:48.57\00:26:51.11
You can come out the other
end because the Lord's with you.
00:26:51.14\00:26:54.38
The third thing I would
do is teach people to pray.
00:26:54.44\00:26:58.71
In Philippians 4 verses 6 and 7,
00:26:58.75\00:27:02.62
Paul says, "Do not be
anxious about anything;
00:27:02.65\00:27:05.39
but in everything in
prayer and supplication
00:27:05.45\00:27:08.19
with thanksgiving
00:27:08.22\00:27:09.56
let your requests
be made known unto God.
00:27:09.59\00:27:11.06
And the peace of God; which
surpasses all understanding,
00:27:11.09\00:27:14.10
will be yours. "
00:27:14.13\00:27:15.46
You know, Peter invites us to
cast all of our cares upon God
00:27:15.50\00:27:21.00
because He cares for us.
00:27:21.07\00:27:22.84
That's 1st Peter 5:7,
00:27:22.87\00:27:24.57
"And Jesus... " I'm
going over a second here
00:27:24.61\00:27:27.61
but Jesus said, "Don't
be anxious about tomorrow,
00:27:27.64\00:27:31.08
for each day... " he says,
00:27:31.11\00:27:34.22
"has enough trouble of
its own. " Matthew 6:34.
00:27:34.25\00:27:38.12
So, we can confidently
say "God's our helper...
00:27:38.15\00:27:41.99
what can man do to me?"
00:27:42.02\00:27:43.73
Panel: Hmmm...
hmmm... that's right... amen.
00:27:43.83\00:27:45.69
Idalia: What a
blessing, praise the Lord.
00:27:45.73\00:27:48.73
Pastor John
Dinzey, your question is:
00:27:48.80\00:27:51.77
Could you explain the
text found in Matthew 16:28,
00:27:51.80\00:27:56.50
where it says, "they
shall not taste death
00:27:56.54\00:28:00.51
until the Son of God appears?"
00:28:00.54\00:28:03.38
Lee from Georgia
would like to know.
00:28:03.41\00:28:05.61
Ryan: Great question.
00:28:05.65\00:28:06.98
Dinzey: Thank you,
it's a wonderful question.
00:28:07.05\00:28:08.38
I remember many years ago
when I was, I think, a teenager,
00:28:08.42\00:28:10.82
I was reading the Bible
and I read for the night...
00:28:10.85\00:28:14.36
I was tired... and that was the
very last verse of the chapter,
00:28:14.39\00:28:16.96
and I was awake for a while,
00:28:16.99\00:28:19.19
I was like, "I wonder if these
people are still alive... "
00:28:19.23\00:28:21.36
Panel: Laughter.
00:28:21.40\00:28:22.73
Dinzey: And you
know the next day,
00:28:22.76\00:28:24.10
I saw the Pastor of
the church and I said,
00:28:24.17\00:28:25.80
"Pastor, I have this question...
are these people still alive?
00:28:25.83\00:28:28.90
Maybe they're still
walking around somewhere. "
00:28:28.94\00:28:30.94
And he said, "Let's
go to the next chapter. "
00:28:30.97\00:28:32.94
But I'm going to read to you
first a little bit of context,
00:28:33.14\00:28:35.54
in Matthew chapter
16 verses 27 and 28,
00:28:35.58\00:28:38.85
"For the Son of Man will
come in the glory of His Father
00:28:38.88\00:28:41.08
with His angels,
00:28:41.15\00:28:42.48
and then He will reward
each according to his works. "
00:28:42.52\00:28:44.49
Then He said,
"Assuredly, I say to you,
00:28:44.52\00:28:46.12
there are some standing
here who shall not taste death
00:28:46.15\00:28:48.86
till they see the Son of
Man coming in His Kingdom. "
00:28:48.89\00:28:51.86
So, the answer is in
the next verses, let's read,
00:28:51.89\00:28:54.46
Matthew 17 verses
1 through 7 quickly,
00:28:54.46\00:28:57.03
"Now after six
days Jesus took Peter,
00:28:57.07\00:28:59.33
James and John his brother,
00:28:59.37\00:29:01.27
led them up on a high
mountain by themselves;
00:29:01.30\00:29:03.27
and He was
transfigured before them.
00:29:03.30\00:29:06.07
His face shown like the sun,
00:29:06.11\00:29:07.91
and His clothes
became as white as the light.
00:29:07.94\00:29:10.58
And behold, Moses and
Elijah appeared to them,
00:29:10.61\00:29:13.01
talking with Him.
00:29:13.05\00:29:14.42
Then Peter
answered and said to Jesus,
00:29:14.45\00:29:16.38
'Lord, it is good
for us to be here;
00:29:16.42\00:29:18.22
if You wish, let us make
three tabernacles: one for You,
00:29:18.25\00:29:21.39
one for Moses,
and one for Elijah. '
00:29:21.42\00:29:23.06
While he was yet speaking,
00:29:23.09\00:29:24.73
behold, a bright
cloud overshadowed them;
00:29:24.76\00:29:27.23
and suddenly a voice
came out of heaven saying,
00:29:27.23\00:29:29.53
'This is My beloved Son,
in whom I am well pleased.
00:29:29.56\00:29:32.30
Hear Him!'
00:29:32.33\00:29:33.67
And when the disciples heard it,
00:29:33.74\00:29:35.14
they fell on their
faces and were greatly afraid.
00:29:35.17\00:29:37.61
But Jesus came and
touched them and said,
00:29:37.64\00:29:40.11
'Arise, and do not be afraid. '"
00:29:40.18\00:29:41.51
So, what is happening here?
00:29:41.54\00:29:42.88
This is a representation of the
second coming of Jesus Christ
00:29:42.91\00:29:46.28
that Jesus said... some will
not taste death till they see
00:29:46.35\00:29:50.29
the Son of Man coming
in the clouds of heaven.
00:29:50.32\00:29:52.42
So, you see
there's a cloud here,
00:29:52.45\00:29:54.79
you see Moses and Elijah...
00:29:54.82\00:29:57.26
Moses died and was resurrected.
00:29:57.33\00:29:59.69
Moses represents
those that love the Lord...
00:29:59.76\00:30:02.73
died and are resurrected
to meet with the Lord
00:30:02.76\00:30:07.10
and Elijah was translated
to heaven while alive.
00:30:07.14\00:30:11.34
He represents those that
will be alive when Jesus comes
00:30:11.37\00:30:14.08
and this is what it means.
00:30:14.14\00:30:15.78
Idalia: Thank you very much.
00:30:15.84\00:30:17.51
Well, let's go
to Pastor Ryan Day.
00:30:17.55\00:30:21.22
Please explain
1st Timothy 4:3 and 4
00:30:21.25\00:30:24.89
"forbidding to marry and
commanding to abstain from food
00:30:24.95\00:30:29.36
which God created to be
received with thanksgiving
00:30:29.39\00:30:32.59
by those who
believe and know the truth.
00:30:32.63\00:30:34.46
For every
creature of God is good,
00:30:34.46\00:30:37.23
and nothing is to be refused
00:30:37.30\00:30:40.07
if it is received
with thanksgiving,
00:30:40.10\00:30:42.64
for it is sanctified by
the word of God and prayer. "
00:30:42.67\00:30:46.64
Thank you for explaining.
00:30:46.71\00:30:48.21
Violet from Port
St. Lucie, Florida.
00:30:48.24\00:30:51.55
Ryan: Amen... thank you,
Violet for this question.
00:30:51.58\00:30:53.88
It's one that we get often
00:30:53.95\00:30:55.28
especially as an
Evangelist traveling,
00:30:55.32\00:30:56.85
I get this question often
00:30:56.92\00:30:58.25
and really, we
can't fully understand
00:30:58.29\00:31:00.09
verses 3, 4 and 5,
if we haven't first read
00:31:00.16\00:31:02.22
verses 1 and 2 because it
really sets the foundation.
00:31:02.26\00:31:05.09
So, verses 1 and 2 of
1st Timothy chapter 4 says,
00:31:05.13\00:31:07.83
"Now the Spirit expressly
says that in latter times,
00:31:07.86\00:31:10.53
some will depart from the faith"
00:31:10.57\00:31:12.40
here it is...
"departing from the faith,
00:31:12.43\00:31:13.94
giving heed to deceiving spirits
and doctrines of demons... "
00:31:14.00\00:31:17.64
and in verse 2,
"speaking lies in hypocrisy,
00:31:17.67\00:31:20.34
having their own conscience
seared with a hot iron. "
00:31:20.38\00:31:23.51
So, in this case,
everything that comes after,
00:31:23.55\00:31:25.88
now it's going to describe
this, "forbidding to marry,
00:31:25.95\00:31:28.62
and commanding to abstain
from foods which God created
00:31:28.65\00:31:31.02
to be received
with thanksgiving... "
00:31:31.05\00:31:32.39
this is within the
context of these people
00:31:32.42\00:31:33.96
who have departed from the faith
00:31:34.02\00:31:35.36
and have given heed
to deceiving spirits
00:31:35.39\00:31:37.29
and doctrines of demons.
00:31:37.33\00:31:38.66
Now, the
"forbidding to marry" part...
00:31:38.69\00:31:40.20
this is talking about a
group of people in the last days
00:31:40.26\00:31:42.96
because remember it says
there, "in latter times... "
00:31:43.00\00:31:45.73
so, in the last days
00:31:45.77\00:31:47.10
saying that there's
going to be a group of people
00:31:47.17\00:31:48.50
who will rise
up in the last days
00:31:48.54\00:31:49.87
that will basically
teach against the design
00:31:49.90\00:31:52.17
and the plan of God for
men to marry and multiply...
00:31:52.21\00:31:55.24
there's a group of
people that's going to teach
00:31:55.28\00:31:56.91
that you should be celibate...
00:31:56.98\00:31:58.31
that you should not marry...
00:31:58.35\00:31:59.68
that you should,
you know, remain single
00:31:59.71\00:32:01.58
and so, of course, we know this
is not according to God's plan,
00:32:01.62\00:32:04.75
in the sense of His
design in the beginning
00:32:04.79\00:32:07.26
as He created for mankind,
00:32:07.29\00:32:08.62
but then following up from that
00:32:08.66\00:32:10.26
when it talks about these foods
00:32:10.33\00:32:11.66
that God created to be
received with thanksgiving
00:32:11.69\00:32:13.40
and those believe
who know the truth
00:32:13.43\00:32:15.00
and it goes on to say "For
every creature of God is good
00:32:15.03\00:32:17.27
and nothing to be refused
00:32:17.33\00:32:18.67
if received with
thanksgiving... " pause...
00:32:18.70\00:32:21.37
and no one reads verse 5...
00:32:21.40\00:32:22.77
and they pause
there and they say,
00:32:22.80\00:32:24.67
"Oh, every creature of God
is good... I can eat just...
00:32:24.71\00:32:26.57
eat whatever I want and
God's going to bless it. "
00:32:26.64\00:32:28.58
Right? Not necessarily,
because verse 5 says,
00:32:28.61\00:32:31.48
"for it is sanctified by
the word of God in prayer. "
00:32:31.51\00:32:37.15
So, notice this,
it says in verse 4,
00:32:37.19\00:32:38.95
"nothing to be refused if... "
00:32:38.99\00:32:41.12
that's conditional...
00:32:41.16\00:32:42.59
"if it is
received with thanksgiving;
00:32:42.62\00:32:44.23
for it is sanctified by
the word of God and prayer. "
00:32:44.29\00:32:46.70
All the foods that God
has made clean for us to eat
00:32:46.76\00:32:48.96
those creatures...
00:32:49.00\00:32:50.33
only the clean creatures...
00:32:50.40\00:32:51.73
and how do we know that?
00:32:51.77\00:32:53.40
Because if we go back
to Leviticus chapter 11,
00:32:53.47\00:32:55.70
those creatures that are
sanctified by the word of God
00:32:55.74\00:32:58.77
are those
mentioned in Leviticus 11
00:32:58.81\00:33:00.48
and also, I believe in
Deuteronomy chapter 14,
00:33:00.51\00:33:02.88
so, if it does not
fall within the word of God
00:33:02.91\00:33:05.25
and God's specifications on
clean the clean and unclean,
00:33:05.28\00:33:07.65
and you're eating just
any old creature in the world,
00:33:07.68\00:33:10.39
that does not... that's not
sanctified by the word of God
00:33:10.42\00:33:13.02
and, of course, we are
to pray over it as well,
00:33:13.09\00:33:14.92
but here's another
thing, every creature of God...
00:33:14.96\00:33:16.83
if we take that literal,
you know what that means?
00:33:16.86\00:33:18.63
Every creature? You
know, we're creatures...
00:33:18.66\00:33:21.10
is it okay to eat people?
00:33:21.13\00:33:22.93
I don't think anybody's going
to have a human-flesh salad.
00:33:22.96\00:33:26.20
You know, and
there's just certain things,
00:33:26.23\00:33:27.80
and nobody's going to have
a... a... a... a tobacco salad
00:33:27.84\00:33:31.77
or a... or a... a poison-ivy,
you know salad of some kind,
00:33:31.81\00:33:35.71
there are certain
foods and creatures that God
00:33:35.74\00:33:37.75
did not create to be consumed
00:33:37.78\00:33:39.25
and obviously, we
cannot take this too literal
00:33:39.28\00:33:41.18
but allow the Word of
God to say... where it says,
00:33:41.22\00:33:43.05
"Sanctified by the
word of God in prayer. "
00:33:43.08\00:33:45.32
Follow the counsel
and you'll be safe.
00:33:45.35\00:33:46.96
Panel: Smiling.
00:33:47.02\00:33:48.36
Idalia: Thank you
very much Pastor Ryan Day,
00:33:48.39\00:33:50.09
well-spoken... very good...
00:33:50.13\00:33:53.03
Shelley Quinn...
could you please answer this
00:33:53.06\00:33:56.36
from Nancy in Virginia:
00:33:56.40\00:33:58.53
I understand Moses
wrote the book of Deuteronomy,
00:33:58.57\00:34:01.80
and I am confident all
Scripture is inspired by God.
00:34:01.84\00:34:05.34
Would Moses have
been given inspiration
00:34:05.37\00:34:08.04
also to write
about his own death?
00:34:08.08\00:34:10.85
Shelley: Hmmm...
that's a great question Nancy
00:34:10.88\00:34:13.92
and I think we've all
had that thought before.
00:34:13.95\00:34:16.89
In Deuteronomy
34 is... verses 5,
00:34:16.92\00:34:21.16
the very closing
verses of Deuteronomy
00:34:21.19\00:34:25.03
the last chapter
verses 5 through 12,
00:34:25.06\00:34:27.93
it's describing Moses' death...
00:34:27.96\00:34:30.13
it describes the Israelites
warning for him for...
00:34:30.17\00:34:34.67
for 30 days and then it gives
the transition of leadership
00:34:34.70\00:34:39.34
to Joshua,
00:34:39.37\00:34:40.74
but it gives us little
eulogy, let's look at it.
00:34:40.78\00:34:43.81
Deuteronomy 34:10,
00:34:43.85\00:34:45.91
"since then... "
this is what is written...
00:34:45.95\00:34:49.42
"there has not arisen in
Israel a prophet like Moses,
00:34:49.45\00:34:53.52
whom the Lord knew face to face,
00:34:53.56\00:34:55.96
in all the signs and wonders
00:34:55.99\00:34:57.59
which the Lord sent him
to do in the land of Egypt,
00:34:57.63\00:35:00.13
before Pharaoh,
before all of his servants,
00:35:00.16\00:35:02.36
in all of the land,
00:35:02.40\00:35:04.10
and by all that mighty power
00:35:04.17\00:35:06.33
and all the great
terror which Moses performed
00:35:06.37\00:35:09.54
in the sight of all Israel. "
00:35:09.57\00:35:13.01
You know, Numbers 12:3 said that
00:35:13.04\00:35:15.68
Moses was the most
humble man on the earth.
00:35:15.71\00:35:20.22
Somehow I think that
Moses didn't write about himself
00:35:20.25\00:35:24.32
saying, "there has never arisen
another prophet like me... "
00:35:24.35\00:35:28.69
so, Inspiration
doesn't actually, reveal
00:35:28.72\00:35:32.63
who the authorship of
these last few verses are.
00:35:32.66\00:35:36.53
Personally, I think
it's most likely Joshua
00:35:36.56\00:35:39.87
who was transitioning
to his leadership...
00:35:39.90\00:35:43.14
he wrote the next book of Joshua
00:35:43.17\00:35:45.11
and I think that the
Holy Spirit inspired him
00:35:45.17\00:35:49.54
to put this little
postscript on the Pentateuch
00:35:49.58\00:35:53.88
to say, "Here are the
five books that Moses wrote...
00:35:53.92\00:35:56.75
here's what
happened at the very end
00:35:56.79\00:36:00.22
and it doesn't
affect the authority
00:36:00.29\00:36:04.29
of Moses'
authorship because you know,
00:36:04.36\00:36:08.23
there's no question
Paul wrote the book of Romans
00:36:08.26\00:36:11.87
yet describe who
actually recorded it for him
00:36:11.90\00:36:15.44
in Romans 16:22 to 24,
added a greeting of his own
00:36:15.47\00:36:20.38
but it was an inspired greeting
00:36:20.41\00:36:22.61
and it didn't
change the meaning.
00:36:22.64\00:36:24.88
Idalia: Amen,
thank you, Shelley,
00:36:24.91\00:36:27.12
Pastor Dinzey: I feel
like such a failure in life.
00:36:27.15\00:36:31.75
I keep failing at relationships
00:36:31.82\00:36:34.89
but I don't know
what I'm doing wrong.
00:36:34.92\00:36:37.13
I've asked God to
show me, to tell me,
00:36:37.16\00:36:40.30
to send someone to
speak to me so that I can...
00:36:40.33\00:36:43.06
so that I fix
it but no response.
00:36:43.10\00:36:45.97
Why does God
tell us in His Word,
00:36:46.00\00:36:48.80
to call to Him for help,
00:36:48.84\00:36:50.67
and yet when I
do He's just silent?
00:36:50.71\00:36:53.94
He knows me
better than anyone else,
00:36:54.04\00:36:57.21
so He can get my
attention if He wants.
00:36:57.25\00:37:00.55
Charity wants to know.
00:37:00.58\00:37:02.18
Dinzey: Well, praise the Lord
00:37:02.22\00:37:03.55
that you're open to
God calling your attention
00:37:03.62\00:37:06.29
and speaking to you
and in due time He will.
00:37:06.32\00:37:08.86
I would like to
share some things with you
00:37:08.89\00:37:11.86
that it may be that
you are not a failure,
00:37:11.89\00:37:14.83
maybe God is saving you from
a terrible, terrible life...
00:37:14.83\00:37:18.80
married to someone that
is not beneficial to you.
00:37:18.83\00:37:22.30
So, I want to encourage you to
continue trusting in the Lord,
00:37:22.34\00:37:25.54
continue to pray
00:37:25.57\00:37:26.91
and God will bring you the
answer when it is best for you
00:37:26.98\00:37:30.15
and I'll tell you a...
00:37:30.25\00:37:31.58
very quickly here in
Psalm 37 verses 3 and 4,
00:37:31.61\00:37:34.12
"Trust in the Lord and do good;
00:37:34.15\00:37:35.48
dwell in the land, and
feed on His faithfulness.
00:37:35.52\00:37:38.39
Delight yourself
also in the LORD,
00:37:38.42\00:37:40.86
and He shall give you
the desires of your heart. "
00:37:40.89\00:37:43.73
So, when that time
is best it will happen.
00:37:43.76\00:37:47.10
We recently had a letter
come in from someone that says,
00:37:47.13\00:37:50.03
during a marriage seminar,
he sent this message in,
00:37:50.07\00:37:52.77
"I was praying to the
Lord... waited nine years
00:37:52.80\00:37:55.60
and then I met the
one that God had for me
00:37:55.64\00:37:59.51
and I can tell you,
it was worth the wait,
00:37:59.54\00:38:01.94
so I praise... "
00:38:01.98\00:38:03.31
so he says, "I
praise the Lord... "
00:38:03.38\00:38:04.78
and there's a young
lady sitting across from me,
00:38:04.81\00:38:07.05
Idalia Dinzey...
00:38:07.08\00:38:08.42
I also was praying for...
for a while and I kept wondering
00:38:08.45\00:38:11.65
why isn't the Lord
bringing someone to me?
00:38:11.69\00:38:13.89
I said, "Lord... " and then, so,
and then I prayed this prayer,
00:38:13.92\00:38:17.36
on Friday night, I said, "Lord,
do you have somebody for me?
00:38:17.39\00:38:20.73
If you do, let
me know who it is.
00:38:20.76\00:38:22.96
If you don't
have someone for me,
00:38:23.00\00:38:25.20
let me know because I
am willing to be like Paul
00:38:25.23\00:38:29.04
if that is Your will for me
00:38:29.07\00:38:30.61
but You give me the grace
and the strength to do so. "
00:38:30.64\00:38:34.21
And I said, "Lord, but let
me know if you have someone,
00:38:34.28\00:38:37.81
and if it's... if it's someone
that I know, let me know,
00:38:37.88\00:38:40.02
maybe I haven't
noticed this person...
00:38:40.05\00:38:41.38
if it's someone that I'm
going to meet in the future,
00:38:41.42\00:38:42.95
let me know... "
00:38:42.98\00:38:44.32
and you know, the
very interesting thing is
00:38:44.35\00:38:46.12
that I forgot that prayer.
00:38:46.15\00:38:47.72
The very next day I met
this young lady right here...
00:38:47.76\00:38:50.23
this beautiful
treasure of a woman.
00:38:50.26\00:38:52.46
I have been blessed for
over 28 years... praise the Lord
00:38:52.49\00:38:56.43
I can tell you,
continue to wait on the Lord.
00:38:56.46\00:38:59.23
Psalm 27, it says in verse 14,
00:38:59.27\00:39:02.34
"Wait on the Lord;
be of good courage,
00:39:02.37\00:39:04.24
and He shall
strengthen your heart;
00:39:04.27\00:39:05.61
wait, I say, on the LORD!"
00:39:05.64\00:39:06.98
Wait on the Lord
and the time will come
00:39:07.01\00:39:09.14
when you will meet that
person that God has for you.
00:39:09.18\00:39:11.71
Panel: Amen... amen... wow!
00:39:11.75\00:39:13.08
Idalia: Are you
done? Panel: Laughter.
00:39:13.11\00:39:18.05
Ryan: Oh
wonderful... that was wonderful.
00:39:18.09\00:39:20.12
Idalia: That was
beautiful, Honey, thank you.
00:39:20.19\00:39:22.72
So, we need to go to
the next question, so...
00:39:22.76\00:39:25.29
we'd love to hear you
though. Panel: Laughter.
00:39:25.33\00:39:27.76
Idalia: Pastor Ryan Day,
00:39:27.83\00:39:29.13
what happens if I'm the
Prime Minister of my country
00:39:29.16\00:39:32.03
and the New World
Order comes into effect
00:39:32.07\00:39:35.90
so that everyone or everybody
00:39:35.97\00:39:38.87
may be forced to
follow the Sunday worship?
00:39:38.91\00:39:41.48
What shall I do
in that situation?
00:39:41.51\00:39:44.05
Thomas from Papua New Guinea.
00:39:44.08\00:39:45.95
Ryan: All right, well, Thomas,
00:39:45.98\00:39:47.85
I don't know if you are the
Prime Minister or in this case
00:39:47.88\00:39:51.65
yes... the Prime
Minister of Papua New Guinea,
00:39:51.69\00:39:54.59
but I just want to encourage
you and let you know, Brother,
00:39:54.62\00:39:57.53
that you're in
a blessed position
00:39:57.56\00:39:59.06
and in this case, many people
are going to follow your example
00:39:59.09\00:40:01.70
so when this time comes...
00:40:01.73\00:40:03.06
if this time comes indeed
and you are in that position,
00:40:03.10\00:40:06.40
I would encourage you to stand
00:40:06.43\00:40:08.34
as Joseph stood
on the Lord's side
00:40:08.37\00:40:10.87
when he was in mighty position,
00:40:10.91\00:40:12.37
stand as the three Hebrew
children stood there in Daniel
00:40:12.41\00:40:15.51
chapter 3 verses 16 to 18
when... when Nebuchadnezzar
00:40:15.54\00:40:19.51
told all of the
wise men of Babylon,
00:40:19.55\00:40:22.15
"Bow down and
worship this graven image
00:40:22.18\00:40:24.29
when you hear the... the...
the music start playing...
00:40:24.32\00:40:26.92
and the pipes start playing...
" and what was their response?
00:40:26.96\00:40:29.49
I love this... this is Daniel
chapter 3 verses 16 and 18,
00:40:29.52\00:40:32.06
it says, "Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abednego
00:40:32.09\00:40:33.90
answered and said to
the king, 'O Nebuchadnezzar,
00:40:33.96\00:40:36.03
we have no need to
answer you in this matter.
00:40:36.06\00:40:38.30
If this is the case,
our God whom we serve
00:40:38.33\00:40:40.94
is able to deliver us
from the burning fiery furnace,
00:40:40.97\00:40:43.54
and He will deliver us
from your hand, O king.
00:40:43.57\00:40:45.94
But if not... ' I love this...
00:40:45.97\00:40:47.41
'But if not, let it
be known to you, O king,
00:40:47.44\00:40:50.68
that we do not serve your gods,
00:40:50.71\00:40:52.48
nor will we worship the
image which you have set up. '"
00:40:52.51\00:40:55.65
God is looking for faithful men
and women in these last days,
00:40:55.68\00:40:58.55
even if given... especially
those in high positions...
00:40:58.59\00:41:01.26
blessed positions
as might be yourself
00:41:01.29\00:41:03.76
or whoever the Prime
Minister is of any country...
00:41:03.83\00:41:06.26
President... Prime Minister
whatever the case may be,
00:41:06.29\00:41:08.70
politician... God still
expects us to put Him first
00:41:08.73\00:41:12.57
and put His laws first
00:41:12.60\00:41:14.60
because again, the
Bible says, you know,
00:41:14.64\00:41:16.57
"Do not fear them which
are able to kill the body
00:41:16.60\00:41:18.41
but only Him who is able
to destroy both soul and body
00:41:18.44\00:41:21.44
in hell fire... "
that's Matthew 10:28,
00:41:21.48\00:41:23.51
we put our trust in
the God who seals up
00:41:23.55\00:41:26.31
and has full
control of our entire fate.
00:41:26.35\00:41:28.35
That's why Jesus
said in Luke chapter 6
00:41:28.38\00:41:30.29
and this is my final text,
00:41:30.35\00:41:31.69
beautiful encouraging text,
00:41:31.72\00:41:33.09
Jesus is saying in
Luke 6 verses 46 to 48,
00:41:33.12\00:41:36.59
He says, "But why do
you call me, 'Lord, Lord,
00:41:36.62\00:41:39.13
and not do the
things which I say?'"
00:41:39.16\00:41:40.90
speaking to the Pharisees,
00:41:40.93\00:41:42.23
but then he says
this in verse 47 onward,
00:41:42.26\00:41:44.30
"Whoever comes to Me, and
hears my sayings and does them,
00:41:44.33\00:41:47.27
I will show you whom he is like:
00:41:47.30\00:41:49.70
He is like a man
building a house,
00:41:49.74\00:41:51.87
who dug deep and laid
the foundation on the rock.
00:41:51.91\00:41:55.68
And when the flood arose,
00:41:55.71\00:41:57.28
and the steam beat
vehemently against the house,
00:41:57.31\00:41:59.11
and could not shake it,
00:41:59.15\00:42:00.55
for it was
founded on the rock. "
00:42:00.62\00:42:02.32
Jesus is your rock...
00:42:02.35\00:42:03.69
put your foundation on
Jesus Christ and His Word
00:42:03.72\00:42:07.19
and you will never fail.
00:42:07.26\00:42:08.59
Idalia: Hallelujah,
preach it Brother, amen Pastor.
00:42:08.62\00:42:12.79
Shelley: You can say more in two
minutes than I can say in four.
00:42:12.83\00:42:16.13
Panel: Laughter.
00:42:16.16\00:42:17.53
Idalia: Okay...
Shelley. Shelley: Yes.
00:42:17.57\00:42:19.13
Idalia: During my first
days attending Adventist Church,
00:42:19.17\00:42:22.14
I was taught that we
people are sons of men
00:42:22.27\00:42:25.84
and Christ is the son of man.
00:42:25.87\00:42:28.28
What does it mean to
be called the son of man
00:42:28.31\00:42:32.28
and why is it only for Christ?
00:42:32.31\00:42:35.18
Benedicto from Uganda.
00:42:35.22\00:42:37.45
Shelley: Okay, Benedicto,
00:42:37.49\00:42:39.12
the Son of Man is a
covenant title for the Messiah
00:42:39.15\00:42:46.49
and, you know, God came down
in the person of Jesus Christ,
00:42:46.53\00:42:51.30
He became the Son of Man...
the... the Seed of the Woman
00:42:51.33\00:42:54.07
who was going to crush the devil
00:42:54.10\00:42:56.84
and He lived a righteous life
00:42:56.87\00:42:59.47
so that that righteousness
could be credited to us
00:42:59.51\00:43:02.71
and He died for... as a...
paid the penalty for our sin.
00:43:02.74\00:43:07.22
In Daniel 7 verses 13 and 14,
00:43:07.25\00:43:10.12
we find this term
as the Messianic title.
00:43:10.19\00:43:13.46
Daniel 7:13 says, "I was
watching in the night visions,
00:43:13.49\00:43:17.06
and behold, One
like the Son of Man,
00:43:17.13\00:43:19.56
coming with the
clouds of heaven!
00:43:19.59\00:43:21.80
He came to the Ancient of Days,
00:43:21.83\00:43:23.97
And they brought
Him near before Him.
00:43:24.03\00:43:26.57
Then to Him was
given dominion and glory
00:43:26.60\00:43:29.07
and a kingdom that all
peoples, nations, and languages
00:43:29.10\00:43:32.51
should serve Him.
00:43:32.54\00:43:34.54
His dominion is an
everlasting dominion,
00:43:34.58\00:43:37.95
which will not pass away,
00:43:37.98\00:43:39.48
and His kingdom is the one
which shall not be destroyed. "
00:43:39.51\00:43:43.99
So, here's what's interesting,
00:43:44.05\00:43:45.42
the Son of Man is a title
that Jesus used about Himself
00:43:45.45\00:43:50.99
more than any other title.
00:43:51.03\00:43:52.66
In the New
Testament, it's used 88 times...
00:43:52.69\00:43:56.90
that expression... "Son of Man"
00:43:56.93\00:43:58.83
and it's interesting because
00:43:58.87\00:44:00.77
83 times it came
from the mouth of Jesus.
00:44:00.84\00:44:04.04
But here is what
I want to say too,
00:44:04.11\00:44:07.98
it is not accurate to say
that a man... a human being...
00:44:08.01\00:44:13.28
regular human being
00:44:13.35\00:44:14.88
can't be called the son of man
because it is used poetically.
00:44:14.92\00:44:18.42
God refers to Ezekiel His
prophet as son of man often
00:44:18.45\00:44:24.66
and it's a poetic use
00:44:24.69\00:44:26.93
Psalm 8:4, David said,
00:44:27.00\00:44:29.10
"What is man that
You are mindful of him,
00:44:29.13\00:44:31.00
and the son of man
that You visit him?"
00:44:31.03\00:44:34.20
But it's
something that the term...
00:44:34.24\00:44:37.94
when we think of the title,
00:44:37.97\00:44:39.41
it is Messianic... it
is speaking of Christ.
00:44:39.44\00:44:42.44
Panel: Wow!
00:44:42.48\00:44:43.81
Idalia: Thank you
very much, amen, amen.
00:44:43.85\00:44:46.05
Well, I would like to
go to the next question
00:44:46.08\00:44:49.58
and this is for John
Dinzey, Pastor Dinzey,
00:44:49.62\00:44:53.12
oh boy! someone's
bothered right here,
00:44:53.15\00:44:56.56
it says: I have to be honest...
00:44:56.59\00:44:58.86
passages like Deuteronomy...
I hope I said that right,
00:44:58.89\00:45:03.30
23:1 and 2 bother me.
00:45:03.37\00:45:06.67
Those described seem like
totally innocent people to me.
00:45:06.74\00:45:13.31
Why do you think God excludes
them from the congregation?
00:45:13.38\00:45:17.65
A Viewer from
Tennessee wants to know.
00:45:17.68\00:45:20.15
Dinzey: Thank you
for the question...
00:45:20.22\00:45:21.92
thank you for being honest.
00:45:21.95\00:45:23.28
I'm going to go ahead and read
00:45:23.32\00:45:24.89
Deuteronomy
chapter 23 verses 1 and 2,
00:45:24.92\00:45:27.09
it says in the New
King James Version,
00:45:27.16\00:45:30.03
"He who is emasculated... "
00:45:30.06\00:45:31.96
the King James
Version uses the word...
00:45:31.99\00:45:33.93
the phrase:
"wounded in the stones"
00:45:34.00\00:45:36.10
it says, "by
crushing or mutilation
00:45:36.13\00:45:38.97
shall not enter the
assembly of the LORD.
00:45:39.00\00:45:41.44
One of illegitimate birth
00:45:41.47\00:45:43.77
shall not enter the
assembly of the LORD:
00:45:43.81\00:45:45.57
even to the tenth generation
00:45:45.61\00:45:47.14
none of his
descendants shall enter
00:45:47.18\00:45:48.68
the assembly of the LORD."
00:45:48.71\00:45:50.45
This is a very difficult passage
in essence from our perspective
00:45:50.51\00:45:58.29
but you have to keep in
mind that back in those times
00:45:58.32\00:46:02.12
there were practices that
perhaps are not done today
00:46:02.19\00:46:05.89
and that is that
people were mutilated
00:46:05.93\00:46:09.93
to prepare them to
serve in pagan temples
00:46:10.00\00:46:13.97
and this mutilation was
an abomination to the Lord.
00:46:14.04\00:46:18.54
So, God is trying to help
the people of Israel understand
00:46:18.57\00:46:22.38
that this is wrong
00:46:22.41\00:46:24.91
and to deter them from
doing these mutilations...
00:46:24.95\00:46:29.78
this is mentioned in the Bible.
00:46:29.82\00:46:32.72
Now, you have also the
same practice... people were...
00:46:32.75\00:46:37.53
there was practice of incest...
00:46:37.63\00:46:40.13
there was practice
of... let's call it rape even
00:46:40.20\00:46:45.03
so, to deter people
from these practices,
00:46:45.07\00:46:48.14
the Lord brought this
prohibition upon them.
00:46:48.17\00:46:51.84
Now, notice it says,
00:46:51.87\00:46:53.24
"They shall not enter
into the assembly... "
00:46:53.34\00:46:55.51
so, this does not mean that
they are excluded from salvation
00:46:55.54\00:47:00.38
or from the
spiritual house of the Lord.
00:47:00.45\00:47:02.92
They have an opportunity...
00:47:02.95\00:47:04.85
because the Bible
says, "God so loved the world
00:47:04.89\00:47:06.99
that He gave His
only begotten Son,
00:47:07.02\00:47:08.52
that whosoever
believes in Him shall not perish
00:47:08.56\00:47:11.19
but have everlasting life. "
00:47:11.23\00:47:12.63
If these people
that were mutilated,
00:47:12.66\00:47:15.93
repent and give
themselves to the Lord,
00:47:15.96\00:47:19.20
they... and believe in the Lord,
00:47:19.23\00:47:21.50
they shall be saved.
00:47:21.54\00:47:23.34
Now, I want to also
mention here, Exodus chapter 12
00:47:23.41\00:47:26.34
verse 48 it says,
00:47:26.37\00:47:27.71
"And when a
stranger dwells with you
00:47:27.74\00:47:29.11
and wants to keep
the Passover to the LORD,
00:47:29.14\00:47:31.85
let all his
males be circumcised,
00:47:31.88\00:47:34.48
and then let him
come near and keep it;
00:47:34.52\00:47:37.19
and he be as a
native of the land.
00:47:37.22\00:47:41.02
For no uncircumcised
person shall eat of it. "
00:47:41.06\00:47:43.43
So, we have here
different situations
00:47:43.46\00:47:45.76
that even strangers...
00:47:45.79\00:47:47.23
those that choose
to keep God's covenant
00:47:47.30\00:47:49.80
were able to
come into the temple.
00:47:49.83\00:47:52.60
Notice Isaiah 56 verses 3 to 5,
00:47:52.67\00:47:55.40
actually, I may be
able to read up to verse 7,
00:47:55.44\00:47:57.94
it says, "Do not let
the son of the foreigner
00:47:57.97\00:48:00.54
who has joined himself
to the Lord speak, saying,
00:48:00.61\00:48:02.71
'The Lord has utterly
separated me from His people';
00:48:02.74\00:48:05.05
nor let the eunuch say,
'Here I am, a dry tree. '
00:48:05.08\00:48:08.25
For thus says the Lord:
00:48:08.28\00:48:09.62
'To the eunuchs
who keep My Sabbaths,
00:48:09.65\00:48:12.35
and choose what pleases Me,
00:48:12.39\00:48:14.56
and hold fast My covenant,
00:48:14.59\00:48:16.22
even to them, I
will give in My house
00:48:16.26\00:48:18.93
and within My
walls a place and a name
00:48:18.96\00:48:21.66
better than that of
sons and of daughters;
00:48:21.70\00:48:24.00
I will give them an everlasting
name that shall not be cut off.
00:48:24.07\00:48:26.74
Also the sons of the foreigner
00:48:26.77\00:48:29.00
who joins themselves
to the Lord, to serve Him,
00:48:29.04\00:48:31.97
and to love the
name of the Lord,
00:48:32.01\00:48:33.71
to be His servants...
00:48:33.78\00:48:35.11
everyone who keeps
from defiling the Sabbath,
00:48:35.14\00:48:37.08
and holds fast My covenant...
00:48:37.15\00:48:38.68
even them I will
bring to My holy mountain,
00:48:38.71\00:48:41.25
and will make them
joyful in My house of prayer.
00:48:41.28\00:48:43.99
Their burnt
offerings and their sacrifices
00:48:44.02\00:48:45.89
will be accepted
on My altar... '"
00:48:45.92\00:48:47.76
you can continue reading there
00:48:47.79\00:48:49.12
but God has an open door
00:48:49.16\00:48:50.53
and everyone that chooses
to... salvation can be free
00:48:50.56\00:48:54.20
and I want to add this...
00:48:54.20\00:48:55.70
you mentioned some of
these were innocent...
00:48:55.73\00:48:57.60
some of them
were not innocent...
00:48:57.67\00:48:59.00
they practiced these things
on purpose to please pagan gods.
00:48:59.03\00:49:02.07
So God... salvation
is available to everyone.
00:49:02.10\00:49:05.27
Shelley: Beautiful response.
00:49:05.34\00:49:06.91
Idalia: Amen... wonderful...
00:49:06.94\00:49:08.61
but let's look at this question:
00:49:08.64\00:49:10.28
What is the meaning
of the word "Divine"?
00:49:10.31\00:49:13.55
Please explain.
00:49:13.58\00:49:15.28
This is from a Viewer in Texas.
00:49:15.32\00:49:17.75
Dinzey: Who wants to go first?
00:49:17.79\00:49:20.12
Shelley: Humanity
is referencing God
00:49:20.19\00:49:24.59
and so, something to
be divine is talking about
00:49:24.63\00:49:29.26
something that belongs to God.
00:49:29.33\00:49:31.23
Dinzey: So, the idea of:
"this chocolate cake is divine"
00:49:31.30\00:49:35.40
does not fit into that category
according to the Scriptures.
00:49:35.44\00:49:39.27
Panel: Laughter.
Idalia: Hmmm... very good.
00:49:39.31\00:49:41.24
Now, also, there is
another question here:
00:49:41.28\00:49:44.81
When we get to Heaven,
will we have guilt or regrets
00:49:44.85\00:49:48.58
because we didn't
supply enough material
00:49:48.62\00:49:50.82
for the size of our mansion?
00:49:50.89\00:49:52.22
Artelle wants to know.
00:49:52.25\00:49:54.09
Ryan: I don't think so,
00:49:54.16\00:49:55.89
I don't think
there's going to be
00:49:55.92\00:49:57.26
because the Bible
says that behold God...
00:49:57.33\00:49:58.66
this is in Revelation chapter...
00:49:58.69\00:50:00.83
actually Revelation
chapter 21 and verse 4,
00:50:00.90\00:50:04.03
I believe it is,
00:50:04.07\00:50:05.40
I'm sorry it's
verse 5 and it says,
00:50:05.43\00:50:09.34
"Behold, I will
make all things new... "
00:50:09.37\00:50:12.51
and so,
Philippians 3 talks about Him
00:50:12.54\00:50:15.58
changing our vile bodies made
like into His glorious body.
00:50:15.61\00:50:19.01
I don't think that we're
going to have any regrets
00:50:19.05\00:50:21.75
or anything that we're
going to be sad or sorrowful
00:50:21.78\00:50:24.45
or it's not like we're going to
show up to heaven and be like,
00:50:24.49\00:50:25.99
"Hey, look... I
didn't... look at my mansion...
00:50:26.02\00:50:27.86
it's not as big as I
thought it's going to be"
00:50:27.89\00:50:29.46
or "it's not... it's not what
I thought it was going to be"
00:50:29.49\00:50:31.19
right, and "this experience
is not what I thought... "
00:50:31.23\00:50:33.03
no, no, no, no, we're going
to be so happy and thrilled
00:50:33.06\00:50:34.76
and... and we're going
to be completely wrapped up
00:50:34.83\00:50:37.43
in... in... in... in...
I wouldn't say "control"
00:50:37.50\00:50:39.90
"control" is not the right word
00:50:39.97\00:50:41.30
but we're going to be
led by the spirit of God
00:50:41.34\00:50:43.44
and we will reflect
fully the character of God...
00:50:43.47\00:50:45.84
we're just going to be thrilled
and happy that we're there.
00:50:45.87\00:50:47.94
Shelley: Can I
add to this because
00:50:47.98\00:50:49.71
actually, the question
implies "salvation by works. "
00:50:49.74\00:50:55.08
There is nothing
that we do to build...
00:50:55.15\00:50:59.22
we're not sending
ahead materials to heaven.
00:50:59.25\00:51:02.89
In John 14, Jesus said,
00:51:02.92\00:51:06.06
"I go to prepare
a place for you... "
00:51:06.09\00:51:09.30
God is the one who
is preparing our mansion
00:51:09.33\00:51:13.60
so, there's nothing that we can
do to increase the size of it.
00:51:13.64\00:51:17.47
Idalia: Amen.
00:51:17.57\00:51:18.91
Dinzey: Just... I don't know if
I have enough time to say this,
00:51:18.94\00:51:20.34
I don't know if
this person got the idea
00:51:20.38\00:51:21.94
about supplying material from...
00:51:21.98\00:51:24.01
I heard somebody say that...
00:51:24.05\00:51:26.05
Shelley: Costly stones.
00:51:26.08\00:51:27.75
Dinzey: Yes... the idea of,
00:51:27.78\00:51:29.42
"You're not
giving enough offering
00:51:29.45\00:51:30.85
so, when you get to heaven,
00:51:30.89\00:51:32.22
you're going to have a little
shack instead of a mansion. "
00:51:32.25\00:51:33.76
No... that's... that's
not part of God's plan,
00:51:33.82\00:51:36.29
God has plenty of
materials and you don't...
00:51:36.32\00:51:38.73
you're not supplying
anything... God supplies it all.
00:51:38.76\00:51:40.60
Idalia: Amen. Ryan: Wonderful.
00:51:40.66\00:51:42.10
Idalia: This hour has
vanished, it went so fast,
00:51:42.13\00:51:45.27

00:51:45.30\00:51:47.90

We'll be right back.
