00:13 >> WELCOME BACK TO 3ABN "TODAY LIVE." 00:17 WE'RE SO HAPPY THAT PASTOR STEPHEN BOHR IS HERE WITH US 00:23 TONIGHT. SECRETS UNSEALED, AND THE LOVELY 00:26 MISS YVONNE, WE'RE SO GLAD YOU ARE HERE ALSO. 00:29 >> I'M SO GLAD TO BE HERE. I LOVE GETTING INTO THE WORD OF 00:33 THE LORD AND GETTING SOMETHING NEW FROM IT, I JUST LOVE THAT. 00:41 >> WE KNEW IN ISAIAH, THE SABBATH IS DELIGHT, BUT IT'S 00:45 REALLY SPECIAL, BECAUSE WHEN WE LOOK AT THE COMMANDMENTS TO FIND 00:49 OUT, WOW, THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN -- IN GENESIS VERSUS 00:56 EXODUS, THAT IT'S A DELIGHT. IT'S A TIME OF FEASTING, AND I 01:01 THINK NOT ON JUST FOOD, BUT FEASTING ON SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS, 01:07 FEASTING ON THE WORD OF GOD. SO IT'S A TIME OF REFRESHING, 01:11 AND TO SAY WOW, THANK YOU, LORD, FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE. 01:15 AND NOW I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT MY CAR PAYMENT OR MY WORK GOING ON, 01:20 I'M JUST ENJOYING THIS TIME, WHICH IS GOOD FOR ME PHYSICALLY, 01:24 AND -- YOU KNOW, AS WELL AS SPIRITUALLY. 01:27 >> AND HAVING A RELATION WITH -HIM. >> SEE THE BLESSINGS SO 01:34 MANY -- THAT PEOPLE MISS OUT ON -- YOU WERE TALK ABOUT THIS 01:38 THE OTHER NIGHT -- I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CALL IT A DEBATE OR 01:43 SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK, AND MOST PEOPLE WATCHING 01:47 WOULD SAY I WISH I WAS ON THAT. AND THE PERSON WAS SAYING, AND A 01:53 LOT OF FOLK DO, WAS SAYING THIS IS JUST A SPIRITUAL REST, 01:59 ADVENTISTS, YOU WANT TO KEEP A WEEKLY DAY, THIS IS NOT GOD. 02:02 YOU ARE CONFINING HIM TO THE DAYS OF THE WEEK. 02:05 THIS IS SPIRITUAL. WE DON'T NEED TO KEEP THE 02:09 COMMANDMENTS. WE JUST DO THEM IN OUR HEART. 02:11 AND THE NEW TESTAMENT IT'S NOT THE SABBATH COMMANDMENT THERE, 02:16 IT'S JUST THE NINE OTHERS. AND I HEARD OF PART OF THIS 02:20 MYSELF, BUT WHAT CAME ACROSS TO ME, BROTHER STEVE WAS, WAIT HERE 02:26 IS A FELLA THAT IS SAYING IT IS NOT PHYSICAL, YOU DON'T NEED TO 02:30 KEEP THE SABBATH ANY LONGER. AND I SAID THAT IS INTERESTING. 02:34 I WOULD LOVE TO SAY, WELL, LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING, DO YOU GO 02:39 TO CHURCH? AND I KNOW WHO HE IS, AND FOUND 02:42 OUT. SO HIS ANSWER IS YES, YOU GO TO 02:46 CHURCH. HOW OFTEN DO YOU GO TO CHURCH? 02:48 ONCE A WEEK? ONCE A YEAR? 02:50 IF IT'S JUST A SPIRITUAL REST, DO YOU GO ONCE EVERY TEN 02:55 YEARS -- OH, YOU GO EVERY WEEK. OKAY. 02:58 WELL -- HE IS JUST TELLING US -- THERE'S NOTHING ABOUT A 03:02 WEEKLY. THIS IS A SPIRITUAL REST. 03:04 SO IF YOU GO ONCE A WEEK, WHAT DAY DO YOU GO ONCE A WEEK.-ON SUNDAY. 03:10 OKAY. SO YOU DO GO TO CHURCH EVERY 03:13 SUNDAY, IT IS ONE DAY OF THE WEEK, SO EVERYTHING YOU ARE 03:17 TELLING ADVENTISTS AND SABBATH KEEPERS THEY DON'T NEED TO DO, 03:22 YOU YOURSELF ARE DOING, YOU ARE JUST SUBSTITUTING THE DAY GOD 03:27 SAID REMEMBER, YOU ARE FORGETTING THAT AND GOING TO THE 03:31 DAY THAT IS MAN MADE SABBATH OR MAN MADE SUBSTITUTION ON SUNDAY. 03:36 DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE? TO ME IT'S LIKE SAYING, DON'T 03:41 WORRY, YOU DON'T HAVE TO KEEP ANY DAY -- WELL, WAIT A MINUTE, 03:44 HOW COME YOU DO IT? YOU JUST DO IT THE WRONG DAY. 03:51 >> PEOPLE SAY, WELL, I DEDICATE EVERY DAY TO GOD. 03:54 >> RIGHT. >> ALL DAYS ARE GOD'S. 03:58 AND IT'S TRUE THA ALL DAYS ARE GOD'S, BUT NOT ALL DAYS ARE 04:03 HOLY. >> RIGHT. 04:04 >> ALL OF YOUR MONEY IS GOD'S. BUT THE TITHE IS HOLY. 04:08 >> OKAY. >> SEE? 04:11 JUST BECAUSE ALL DAYS ARE GOD'S, DOESN'T MEAN THAT ALL DAYS ARE 04:15 HOLY. AND GOD DOESN'T SAY REST EVERY 04:19 SEVENTH DAY. HE SAYS THE SEVENTH DAY IS THE 04:22 SABBATH OF LORD YOUR GOD, AND ONCE AGAIN, IN IT'S ORIGINAL 04:28 INTENTION, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ISRAEL. 04:31 IT PRECEDES ISRAEL. AND IT'S GOD'S PRESIN PROGRAM. 04:38 IN ISAIAH 66 SAYS THAT IT WILL BE GOD'S PROGRAM AFTER HE MAKES 04:43 A NEW HEAVENS AND EARTH, BECAUSE HE IS GOING TO CREATE A NEW 04:48 HEAVENS AND NEW EARTH, AND THE SABBATH WILL ONCE AGAIN BE THE 04:51 SIGN OF THE CREATOR. AND IT'S NO COINCIDENCE THAT 04:56 JESUS SAID ON THE SIXTH DAY OF THE WEEK, IT IS FINISHED, JUST 05:02 LIKE GENESIS SAYS, AND THEN JESUS RESTED IN THE TOMB, ON 05:11 SABBATH. AND NOT ONLY DID JESUS REST IN 05:13 THE TOMB, BUT THE WOMEN EVEN THOUGH THEY DIDN'T UNDERSTAND 05:16 EVERYTHING THAT WAS GOING ON UNTIL LATER, THE BIBLE SAYS THAT 05:19 THEY RESTED THE SABBATH DAY WITH JESUS, ACCORDING TO THE 05:24 COMMANDMENT. SO THE SABBATH IS THE SIGN OF 05:27 CREATION. A SIGN OF REDEMPTION, AND IT'S A 05:29 SIGN OF THE NEW CREATION, WHEN GOD MAKES A NEW HEAVENS AND NEW 05:34 EARTH. NOW WITH REGARDS TO THE DEBATE, 05:37 THIS INDIVIDUAL THAT DEBATED WITH THE ADVENTIST EVANGELIST, 05:42 HIS IDEA IS THERE -- YOU KNOW, HE GOES TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY 05:45 BECAUSE HE SAYS THAT'S THE COMMON DAY WHERE PEOPLE GO TO 05:49 CHURCH, BUT HE DOESN'T BELIEVE THAT ANY DAY IS PARTICULARLY 05:52 HOLY. HE SAYS THAT -- YOU KNOW, HE 05:55 WORSHIPS GOD EVEY DAY. AND OF COURSE WE WORSHIP GOD 05:58 EVERY DAY, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT EVERY DAY IS HOLY. 06:01 >> BUT HE BELIEVES IN THAT ONE DAY OF WEEK. 06:04 >> YEAH, IN GOING TO CHURCH. >> YEAH, AND HE DOES THAT 06:08 HIMSELF, BUT JUST CHOOSES NOT TO GO ON THE DAY THAT GOD SAID TO 06:13 REMEMBER. HE FORGETS THAT DAY. 06:15 >> THAT'S RIGHT. NOW LET'S GET BACK TO THE IDEA 06:20 THAT -- YOU KNOW, TOOK A BREATH. SO BASICALLY THIS IS NAFASH. 06:27 YOU CAN IMAGINE GOD, HE HAS FINISHED HIS WORK THE SIXTH DAY. 06:32 >> I WOULD SAY IT'S GOOD. >> THE BIBLE SAYS THAT HE LOOKED 06:36 AT WHAT HE HAD MADE, AND IT WAS VERY GOOD. 06:40 NOW, LET'S WORD NAFASH IS USED ONLY FOUR OTHER TIMES VERUS 06:49 EXODUS 31:17. LET'S READ ONE EXAMPLE WHERE IT 06:55 SAYS THAT GOD SHBOT AND THEN NAFASH. 07:01 EXODUS 23:12.-EXODUS 23:12. AND EXODUS 23:12 USES THE THREE 07:11 WORDS -- USES SHABOT. IT USES NOWAK, AND NAFASH. 07:23 >> SIX DAYS YOU SHALL DO YOUR WORK, AND ON THE SEVENTH DAY YOU 07:28 SHALL REST. >> SHABOT. 07:32 >> CEASE. >> YES, CEASE. 07:37 >> THAT YOUR OBJECTION AND YOUR DONKEY MAY REST -- 07:41 >> NOWAK. WHAT KIND OF REST IS IT? 07:44 >> DELIGHT, JOY? >> DO YOU THINK THAT THE OX IS 07:48 PRETTY HAPPY AFTER WORKING SIX DAYS. 07:52 OF COURSE. [ LAUGHTER ] 07:53 >> BUT GOD'S REST IS NOT BECAUSE HE IS TIRED. 07:57 >> RIGHT. THAT'S RIGHT. 07:58 >> THERE IS A DIFFERENT KIND OF REST THAT GOD EXPERIENCES -- 08:02 >> AND THE SON AND THE HAND MAID AND THE STRANGER MAY BE 08:08 REFRESHED. >> THAT'S THE WORD NAFASHED. 08:13 >> I'M NOT LOOKING AT MY PHONE, I'M READING MY BIBLE BECAUSE THE 08:20 PRINT IS BIGGER. [ LAUGHTER ] 08:22 >> THEN IT USES NOWAK, LIKE YOUR OX EXPERIENCES A BREATHER OR 08:29 REFRESHMENT ON THE SEVENTH DAY WHERE HE DOESN'T HAVE TO WORK, 08:33 AND THEN IT SPEAKS ABOUT NAFASH. WHICH BASICALLY MEANS -- YOU 08:39 KNOW, TO BE REFRESHED. ISAIAH 40:28, SAYS THAT THE 08:49 CREATOR DOESN'T GET WEARY OR TIRED. 08:52 IT SAYS THAT HE RESTED, AND HE WAS REFRESHED. 08:56 IT WASN'T BECAUSE HE WAS TIRED. SO WHAT KIND OF REFRESHMENT MUST 09:00 IT HAVE BEEN? >> I WOULD THINK IT WAS LOOKING 09:03 AT IT AND SAYING, WOW, THIS IS GREAT. 09:06 THIS IS GOOD. IT FEELS SO GOOD THAT THIS 09:09 TURNED OUT SO BEAUTIFULLY. >> GENESIS SAYS THAT. 09:12 >> YES. >> GOD LOOKED UPON EVERYTHING 09:14 THAT HE HAD MADE AND IT WAS VERY GOOD, AND THE SEVENTH DAY IS THE 09:18 DAY FOR HIM TO RELISH WHAT HE HAS MADE. 09:21 AND WHICH DAY OF THE WEEK WERE ADAM AND EVE CREATED. 09:24 >> SIXTH. >> THEY WERE CREATED THE SIXTH 09:27 DAY, RIGHT? >> UH-HUH. 09:29 >> SO WERE THEY PRESENT ON THE SEVENTH DAY WHEN GOD RESTED? 09:33 >> YEAH. >> YEAH. 09:35 >> HERE IS A VERY IMPORTANT POINT, YOU KNOW, THE ENEMIES OF 09:39 THE SABBATH, IF I CAN CALL THEM THAT, THEY SAY THAT THAT SEVENTH 09:44 DAY GOD CEASED, GOD RESTED, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT WAS A 09:49 DAY OF REST FOR MAN. SO HERE IS MY QUESTION THEN, 09:53 WHAT DID MAN DO ON THE SEVENTH DAY, WHILE GOD WAS RESTING? 09:57 >> RIGHT. >> HE COULDN'T HAVE BEEN 10:00 WORKING. BECAUSE THE NEXT DAY WOULD BE A -WORK, SO HE MUST HAVE BEEN 10:05 RESTING WITH GOD. >> UH-HUH. 10:08 >> GOD MUST HAVE BEEN GIVING HIM THE SCENIC TOUR. 10:11 >> ABSOLUTELY. THAT WOULD BE EXACTLY WHAT HE 10:14 WAS DOING. WHEN HE WAS SAYING, IT WAS GOOD, 10:19 I THINK HE SAID IT SO THE WHOLE UNIVERSE COULD HEAR, INCLUDING 10:24 ADAM AND EVE, IT IS GOOD. >> RIGHT. 10:27 >> LET ME READ YOU A STATEMENT FROM ONE OF MY FAVORITE BOOKS 10:32 PATRIARCHS AND PROPHETS. PAGE 47, GOD LOOKED WITH 10:36 SATISFACTION UPON THE WORK OF HIS HANDS. 10:40 ALL WAS PERFECT, WORTHY OF HIS DIVINE AUTHOR, AND HE RESTED, 10:46 NOT AS ONE WEARY -- THAT'S ISAIAH 40:28, BUT AS WELL 10:52 PLEASED WITH THE FRUITS OF HIS WISDOM AND GOODNESS, AND THE 10:57 MANIFESTATIONS OF HIS GLORY. THERE YOU HAVE IN A CAPSULE FORM 11:04 WHAT GOD'S REST WAS LIKE. YOU HAVE ALL OF THESE EVIDENCES 11:07 IN SCRIPTURE. YOU HAVE THE REFERENCE TO THE 11:11 WORD NOWAK WHICH IMPLIES JOY AND HAPPINESS. 11:17 AND THE HEAVENLY BEINGS SHOUTED FOR JOY AT CREATION. 11:22 YOU HAVE THE WORD NAFASH, WHICH MEANS THAT GOD -- LETTING OUT A 11:28 SIGH, YOU KNOW, THIS IS REALLY GREAT. 11:30 I OUT DID MYSELF. [ LAUGHTER ] 11:32 >> AND ADAM AND EVE ARE THERE, BECAUSE THEY ARE CREATED THE 11:36 SIXTH DAY, THEY ARE OBSERVING GOD, RELISHING HIS WORK, AND AT 11:41 THE END OF THE SEVENTH DAY, GOD SAYS TO ADAM AND EVE, WHAT DO 11:47 YOU THINK? I DON'T THINK THEY SAID THAT 11:50 GIRAFFE HAS TOO LONG OF A NECK -- NO. 11:54 THEY WERE IN AH. THEY ALSO NAFASHED. 12:00 AND WHEN THE SEVENTH DAY ENDS, HE SAYS THIS DAY WILL BE HOLY, 12:05 AND NOW I GIVE YOU THE WEEK AND NOW THE FIRST DA OF THE WEEK, 12:10 YOU START WORKING SIX AND NEXT SABBATH, YOU KEEP THE SABBATH, 12:16 REMEMBERING ME LIKE YOU SAW ME KEEP IT. 12:19 >> UH-HUH. >> POWERFUL. 12:21 >> BRINGING YOU BACK TO GOD EVERY WEEK. 12:26 EVERY SEVENTH DAY. A REST FROM THE THINGS OF THE 12:29 WORLD, AND YOU COME BACK AND PUT YOUR MIND ON GOD. 12:33 >> THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST DOES NOT BASE ANY OF HIS 12:37 DOCUMENTS ON ELLEN WHITE. >> THANK YOU. 12:39 >> ALL OF THE ARGUMENTS WE HAVE HERE ARE FROM SCRIPTURE. 12:46 >> YES. >> BUT, YOU KNOW, SHE IS VERY 12:50 MUCH MISUNDERSTOOD, AND EL LAND WHITE WAS A STANCH DEFENDER OF 12:55 THE SABBATH, BUT SHE NEVER MADE THE MISTAKE OF SAYING THAT GOD 13:00 TOLD ADAM AND EVE TO KEEP THAT FIRST SABBATH OF CREATION WEEK. 13:05 EVERY SINGLE STATEMENT THAT I HAVE EVER READ FROM ELLEN WHITE,-SHE SAID GOD RESTED THE SEVENTH 13:12 DAY, ADAM AND EVE WERE PRESENT BECAUSE THEY WERE CREATED THE 13:20 SIXTH DAY, AND THEN HE MADE IT HOLY AND GAVE IT TO ADAM AND 13:25 EVE. AFTER RESTING UPON THE SEVENTH 13:30 DAY, GOD SANCTIFIED IT OR SET IT AS PART AS A DAY OF REST FOR 13:35 MAN. AFTER GOD RESTS, HE SETS THE DAY 13:39 APART. HE MAKES IT HOLY AS A DAY OF 13:41 REST FOR MAN. AND FOLLOWING THE EXAMPLE OF THE 13:45 CREATOR, MAN WAS TO REST UPON THIS SACRED DAY, AND HERE COMES 13:50 THE REASON. THAT AS HE SHOULD LOOK UPON THE 13:54 HEAVENS AND EARTH, HE MIGHT REFLECT UPON GOD'S GREAT WORK OF 14:00 CREATION, AND AS HE SHOULD BEHOLD THE GOODNESS, HIS HEART 14:04 MIGHT BE FILLED WITH LOVE AND REVERENCE FOR HIS MAKER. 14:08 >> UH-HUH. >> WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DESCRIPTION. 14:10 >> UH-HUH. >> YEAH, IT IS. 14:12 YOU TOLD US EARLIER -- OR SOMEONE ASKED THE QUESTION, HOW 14:18 DO WE KNOW THAT THE SABBATH FROM BACK IN GENESIS IS THE SABBATH 14:23 WE KEEP NOW. AND DID WE THAT? 14:26 >> THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. LET'S PURSUE THAT. 14:29 >> OKAY. >> YOU KNOW, I WAS ONCE TALKING 14:31 TO A FRIEND WHO WAS NOT A SABBATH KEEPER. 14:35 HE OBSERVES SUNDAY. SO I SAID WHICH DAY OF THE WEEK 14:38 DO COW KEEP? HE SAYS WELL, I GO TO CHURCH ON 14:41 SUNDAY. I SAID WHY DO YOU GO TO CHURCH 14:43 ON SUNDAY IN HE SAYS WELL, BECAUSE THAT'S THE DAY THAT 14:48 JESUS WAS RESURRECTED, SO I HONOR THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS 14:53 ON SUNDAY. I SAID YOU ARE SAYING THE SUNDAY 14:56 TODAY IS THE SAME SUNAY THAT -JESUS RESURRECTED, RIGHT? HE SAID YES. 15:00 I SAID IF THE SUNDAY TODAY IS THE SAME SUNDAY THAT JESUS 15:04 RESURRECTED, THE SABBATH IS THE SAME SABBATH. 15:07 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> THEN HE ASKS ME HOW DO YOU 15:11 KNOW THE SABBATH OF THE DAYS OF CHRIST IS THE SAME SABBATH OF 15:15 CREATION? AND I SAID IT'S VERY SIMPLE, 15:18 BECAUSE JOHN 1:3 SAYS THAT JESUS CREATED THE SABBATH, AND HE 15:23 WASN'T GOING TO KEEP THE WRONG DAY. 15:25 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> SO IT GOES BOTH WAYS. 15:30 THE SABBATH TODAY IS NOT THE SAME SABBATH, THEN SUNDAY IS NOT 15:35 THE SAME SABBATH. THESE ARE ALL EXCUSES PEOPLE 15:39 GIVING FOR NOT ENJOYING AND RELISHING, THE DELIGHT THAT THE 15:43 SABBATH IS ALL ABOUT. IMAGINE SUSPENDING EVERYTHING 15:46 YOURS FOR 24 HOURS TO FOCUS ONLY ON GOD, AND TO STRENGTHEN YOUR 15:52 RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM, BECAUSE STRONG LOVE RELATIONSHIPS ARE 15:55 BASED ON SPENDING TIME. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 15:57 >> RIGHT. >> WIVES ALWAYS COMPLAIN, AND 16:00 THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO COMPLAIN -- THEY SAY MY HUSBAND 16:03 DOESN'T DEDICATE TIME TO ME, AND SO, YOU KNOW, THE GREATEST SIGN 16:07 OF LOVE IS THAT YOU ENJOY SPENDING TIME WITH THE PERSON 16:10 THAT YOU LOVE. >> ABSOLUTELY. 16:12 I HAVE SAID TO PEOPLE, BECAUSE THEY WILL SAY TO ME, HOW DO YOU 16:17 KNOW TIME WASN'T LOST EVEN FROM CHRIST TIME TO HERE, 16:21 EVEN -- EVEN IF JESUS KEPT THE SABBATH, HOW DO YOU KNOW? 16:24 AND I SAID WELL, BECAUSE MY FRIEND THAT IS CATHOLIC, I SAY 16:28 WHAT DAY WAS THE CATHOLIC CHURCH-KEEP AS -- YOU KNOW, AS -- AS HOLY, LIKE EASTER? 16:35 WELL, SUNDAY. I SAID OKAY. 16:36 THE CATHOLIC CHURCH STARTED A CENTURY OR TWO AFTER 16:41 CRUCIFIXION, DO YOU THINK THEY HAVE LOST COUNT OF THE FIRST DAY 16:44 OF THE WEEK? THEY KEEP THE FIRST DAY OF THE 16:46 WEEK? DO YOU THINK THE CATHOLIC 16:48 CHURCH -- NOW THE JEWS SINCE THE TIME OF CHRIST, THEY HAVE ALWAYS 16:52 KEPT THE SABBATH, SO DO YOU THINK THE JEWS HAVE ALL LOST 16:57 TIME, AND CATHOLICS HAVE ALL LOST TIME FOR THE LAST NEARLY 17:02 COUPLE THOUSAND YEARS? IF NOT, I WOULD THINK THAT THEY 17:05 HAVEN'T, BECAUSE IT'S NOT LIKELY THE WHOLE JEWISH NATION HAS 17:09 GOTTEN CONFUSED BECAUSE WE KNOW THE SABBATH WAS THE SEVENTH DAY 17:14 SABBATH THAT JESUS KEPT AS THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, SO IF 17:18 THEY THAT IS THE CASE, YOU CAN KNOW THAT THE JEWS HAVE NEVER 17:23 FORGOTTEN WHICH DAY, AND THE CATHOLICS -- AND THEY PARALLEL. 17:26 THE CATHOLIC CHURCH SAYS THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK IS SUNDAY, 17:30 THE JEWS SAY THE SEVENTH DAY OF THE WEEK IS SABBATH. 17:34 SO I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT BOTH OF THESE HUGE GROUPS 17:39 COULD HAVE FORGOTTEN WHICH DAYS. >> ABSOLUTELY. 17:43 AND ANOTHER IMPORTANT THING, HOW MANY TIMES A YEAR DO ROMAN 17:49 CATHOLICS KEEP THE -- HOW MANY TIMES A YEAR DO THEY CELEBRATE 17:57 PALM SUNDAY. >> ONCE A YEAR. 18:00 >> ONCE A YEAR DURING HOLY WEEK, DURING EASTER. 18:03 >> RIGHT. >> HOW MANY TIMES DO THEY 18:06 CELEBRATE ASH WEDNESDAY? >> ONCE. 18:07 >> HOW MANY TIMES A YEAR DO THEY CELEBRATE GOOD FRIDAY? 18:12 >> ONCE. >> SO WHY DO THEY CELEBRATE THE 18:16 RESURRECTION SUNDAY EVERY WEEK? >> HUM. 18:19 >> IT'S A HUMAN INVENTION. BOTH JOHN PAUL II, AND FRANCIS I 18:25 SAID THAT THE SABBATH IS OF THE OLD COVENANT. 18:28 THE SABBATH IS OF THE JEWS, IS WHAT THEY SAY, AND IN SPITE OF 18:34 THE FACT THEY SAY THE SABBATH IS JEWISH AND IT'S THE OLD KCOV 18:41 COVENANT. THEY HAVE KEPT ALL KINDS OF 18:45 THINGS FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT. THEY DO EVERYTHING FROM THE OLD 18:48 TESTAMENT, BUT THEY SAY THE SABBATH, OLD COVENANT. 18:51 >> GOOD POINT. >> YEAH, THAT IS. 18:53 >> UH-HUH. >> SO MAYBE WE CAN LOOK AT 18:57 ANOTHER POINT. >> LET'S DO. 18:59 >> WE NEED TO DEAL WITH QUESTIONS TOO. 19:01 >> I THINK WHAT YOU ARE DOING RIGHT NOW IS REALLY GOOD. 19:04 WE HAVE GOT SOME, BUT I THINK YOU ARE -- PROBABLY SOME OF THE 19:09 QUESTIONS WILL GET TO WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO ANSWER. 19:12 >> ALL RIGHT. WE NEED TO GET TO THE END TIME. 19:15 >> YEAH. >> THE ISSUES AT THE EN TIME. 19:17 BUT ANYWAY, HERE IS AN INTERESTING POINT. 19:24 GENESIS 1:31, AND I'M GOING TO READ THROUGH GENESIS 2 AND VERSE 19:32 3. WHY DON'T YOU READ THAT YVONNE. 19:35 >> SURE. >> YOU ARE A GOOD READER. 19:39 >> PRAISE THE LORD. GOD SAW EVERYTHING HE HAD MADE 19:42 AND INDEED IT WAS VERY GOOD, SO THE EVENING AND MORNING WERE THE 19:48 SIXTH DAY, AND THUS THE HEAVENS AND EARTH AND ALL OF THE HOST OF 19:51 THEM WERE FINISHED. >> OKAY. 19:54 STOP THERE. WHICH DAY DID GOD FINISH HIS DAY 19:58 OF CREATION. >> ON THE SIXTH DAY. 20:01 >> YES. IN FACT CHAPTER 2:1, BELONGS 20:06 WITH CHAPTER 1. IT SHOULD BE THE CONCLUDING 20:09 VERSE OF CHAPTER 1. BECAUSE IT SAYS THEN GOD SAW 20:12 EVERYTHING THAT HE HAD MADE AND INDEED IT WAS VERY GOOD, AND 20:16 THUS THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH AND ALL OF THE HOST OF THEM WERE 20:21 FINISHED. >> RIGHT. 20:22 >> SO THAT'S -- THAT'S THE CLIMAX OF THE FIRST SIX DAYS. 20:28 >> RIGHT. >> NOW LEST PEOPLE THINK THAT 20:38 PASTOR BOHR THINKS -- THERE WERE NO CHAPTERS AND VERSES THAT WERE 20:42 CREATED BY THE ORIGINAL WRITERS, SO THIS WAS ADDED AFTERWARDS. 20:46 SO GOD FINISHED THE SIXTH DAY, RIGHT? 20:49 >> RIGHT. >> NOW READ VERSE 2 AND 3. 20:53 >> AND THE RESTED ON HE SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL OF HIS WORK, WHICH 20:58 HE HAD DONE. >> STOP RIGHT THERE. 21:00 WE HAVE A PROBLEM HERE. BECAUSE IT SAYS ON THE SEVENTH 21:04 DAY GOD ENDED HIS WORK. AND BY THE WAY THE WORD ENDED 21:09 THERE IS THESAME WORD FINISHED IN VERSE 1. 21:12 >> OH. >> SO NOW WE HAVE THE 21:16 PROBLEM -- WE READ IN VERSE 1 THAT HE FINISHED THE 6TH DAY, 21:20 AND NOW WE READ THAT ON THE SEVENTH DAY GOD FINISHED HIS 21:24 WORK WHICH HE HAD DONE. HOW CAN YOU FINISH SOMETHING 21:28 TWICE? LET ME GIVE YOU AN ILLUSTRATION. 21:31 IMAGINE AN ARTIST, PAINTER, AND I'M GOING TO DRAMATIZE FOR 21:37 EFFECT, AND SO THE FIRST DAY THE ARTIST, YOU KNOW, HE TAKES THE 21:41 FRAME, THE WOODEN FRAME, AND HE TAKES THE CANVAS, AND HE STAPLES 21:46 IT TO THE FRAME. HE ADDS COLORS TO THE 21:48 BACKGROUND, AND HE FINISHES HIS WORK THE FIRST DAY, AND HE SAYS 21:53 IT'S GOOD. SECOND DAY HE PUTS SOME CLOUDS 21:55 IN THE SKY, YOU KNOW, THE BLUE SKY AND HE FINISHED HIS WORK. 22:00 THE SECOND DAY HE SAYS, IT'S GOOD. 22:03 THE THIRD DAY HE PAINTS SOME TREES AND GRASS AND FLOWERS, 22:07 BEAUTIFUL SCENERY, AND WHEN HE ENDS THE THIRD DAY, HE SAYS IT 22:11 IS GOOD. THE FOURTH DAY HE PLACES A SUN 22:14 IN THE SKY, SOMETIMES YOU CAN SEE THE MOON IN THE DAYTIME, SO 22:18 HE MAKES THE MOON, YOU KNOW, AND THE FOURTH DAY HE ENDS HIS WORK, 22:22 AND HE SAYS, IT'S GOOD. THE FIFTH DAY HE -- YOU KNOW, HE 22:26 PAINTS SOME FISH JUMPING OUT OF THE WATER AND SOME BIRDS FLYING 22:29 THROUGH TH AIR, AND WHEN HE ENDS THE FIFTH DAY, HE SAYS IT'S 22:34 GOOD. THE SIXTH DAY HE PAINTS SOME 22:39 GIRAFFES AND COWS AND ELEPHANTS AND LAND ANIMALS, AND THEN HE 22:46 PAINTS A WOMAN AND MAN, AND ADDED THE FINAL TOUCHES TO THE 22:52 CANVAS, AND HE LOOKS AND HE SAYS IT IS VERY GOOD. 22:55 [ LAUGHTER ] >> IS HE FINISHED? 23:00 YES, AND NO. >> HE HASN'T SIGNED IT YET. 23:03 >> YES. [ LAUGHTER ] 23:05 >> THE WORK IS FINISHED. THE WORK IS FINISHED. 23:09 BUT UNLESS HE SIGNS IT -- >> COME ON NOW. 23:14 >> THEN HE CAN'T CLAIM IT. >> OKAY. 23:16 >> SO THE SEVENTH DAYDAY -- 23:22 DAY -- STHEVEN -- THE SEVENTH DAY IS GOD'S FIGURE ON CREATION 23:26 OF WHO MADE IT. >> YES. 23:29 >> SO TO REMOVE THAT FROM SABBATH TO SUNDAY IS VERY 23:34 SERIOUS, BECAUSE IT REMOVES THE NAME OF THE INDIVIDUAL WHO MADE 23:38 EVERYTHING DURING CREATION WEEK. SO GOD FINISHED THE WORK ON THE 23:43 SIXTH DAY, ON THE SEVENTH DAY HE PUT SIGNED GOD. 23:48 >> YES. OH, I LOVE IT. 23:50 >> THAT'S BEAUTIFUL. VERY GOOD. 23:54 GREAT ILLUSTRATION. >> ISN'T IT? 23:55 >> YEAH. >> I HAVE TALKED TOO MUCH, 23:57 DANNY, COE ON -- >> NO, THAT'S WONDERFUL. 24:01 [ LAUGHTER ] >> YOU ARE ANSWERING MOST 24:02 EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE. WE COULD LOOK AT A COUPLE OF 24:06 QUESTIONS -- I MEAN IF YOU HAVE GOT SOME MORE THINGS THAT YOU 24:09 WANT TO COVER, BECAUSE YOU ARE BREAKING THIS DOWN FOR 24:12 US -- BECAUE AS I SAID, A LOT OF PEOPLE TODAY -- IN FACT MOST 24:17 PEOPLE, EVEN MOST CHRISTIANS, SAY THE SABBATH IS NOT 24:20 IMPORTANT, IT'S OLD TESTAMENT, WAS GIVEN TO THE JEWS, AND THERE 24:24 IS REALLY NOTHING ABOUT IT -- I JUST KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS IN MY 24:28 HEART FROM THE NEW TESTAMENT. SO WHAT DO YOU SAY? 24:31 YOU ARE TALKING TO ME, AND I SAID, WELL, STEVE, I'M HAPPY IF 24:35 YOU WANT TO DO THAT, BUT THERE'S NO COMMAND OR REASON I NEED TO 24:39 KEEP THE SABBATH, I KEEP THE OTHER NINE COMMANDMENTS, BUT I 24:43 KEEP THEM IN MY HEART. WHAT DO YOU SAY TO ME? 24:46 >> WELL, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH KEEPING THE SABBATH IN YOUR 24:50 HEART. GOD ONLY ACCEPTS SABBATH 24:53 OBSERVANCE FROM THE HEART. THE HEART LOVES THE LORD. 24:55 >> YEAH, WHAT THEY ARE SAYING I KEEP ALL OF THESE OTHERS IN MY 25:01 HEART, BUT I DON'T KEEP THE SABBATH, BECAUSE I'M NEW 25:05 COVENANT. THEN WHAT DO YOU SAY? 25:07 >> WELL, IT'S EVERYTHING WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT. 25:09 WE ALREADY SHOWED THAT THE SABBATH IS NOT OLD COVENANT. 25:12 WE SHOWED THAT THE SABBATH -- GOD MADE THE WEEK, 25:17 SANCTIFIED AND BLESSED THE SABBATH, GAVE THE WEEK TO MAN, 25:20 AND THEN SAID YOU WORK SIX AND KEEP THE SEVENTH. 25:23 THIS WAS BEFORE THERE WAS SIN. SO IT'S GOD'S ORIGINAL PLAN, 25:27 BEFORE THERE WAS ANY NEED FOR AN OLD COVENANT, AND WHERE THERE 25:31 WAS NO JEWS. SO THE SABBATH IS PART OF GOD'S 25:35 ORIGINAL PLAN FOR THE WHOLE HUMAN RACE. 25:37 IT WAS MADE FOR MAN, AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO IN ITS ORIGINAL 25:42 INTENTION WITH REDEMPTION. NOW AN ARGUMENT USED BY THE 25:48 DEBATER, THE EVANGELICAL DEBATER IS IN DEUTERONOMY 5, HE SAYS 25:56 BECAUSE YOU WERE SLAVED AND BONDAGED IN EGYPT, AND GOD 26:01 DELIVERED YOU, THEREFORE, GOD COMMANDED YOU TO KEEP THE 26:05 SEVENTH DAY SABBATH. BUT THAT DOES NOT ELIMINATE THE 26:11 ORIGINAL INTENTION OF GOD FOR THE SABBATH. 26:13 IT'S LIKE HE USES EXODUS 31, WHERE GOD SAYS THAT THE SABBATH 26:18 IS A SIGN BETWEEN HIM AND ISRAEL. 26:20 WELL, YES, IT IS BETWEEN HIM AND ISRAEL, BUT DOES IT SAY 26:24 EXCLUSIVELY BETWEEN HIM AND ISRAEL? 26:25 HE JUST ASSUMES THAT, BECAUSE GOD SAYS IT IS A SIGN FOREVER 26:29 BETWEEN ME AND ISRAEL, THAT IT IS ONLY FOR ISRAEL. 26:32 BUT IN ISAIAH 56 GOD SAYS THE GENT AISLES WILL COME. 26:44 AND AFTER SAYING THAT IT IS A SIGN BETWEEN GOD AND ISRAEL, HE 26:49 SAYS IT IS BECAUSE GOD CREATED THE WORLD IN SIX DAYS, RESTED ON 26:53 THE SEVENTH. THE REASON IS THE CREATION 26:58 REASON WHICH WE ALREADY SHOWED HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE OLD 27:03 COVENANT OR THE JEWS. >> SOMETIMES A LITTLE BIT OF 27:06 COMMON SENSE DOESN'T HURT EITHER. 27:09 WHY WOULD -- AND HERE IS WHAT I HAVE ASKED PEOPLE -- WHY WOULD 27:14 GOD BOTHER WITH -- WITH THE FOURTH COMMANDMENT WHEN HE'S 27:19 GOING TO DO AWAY WITH IT LATER? OKAY? 27:22 WHY -- WHY DO AWAY WITH IT? WHY SAY REMEMBER -- IT'S THE 27:28 ONLY COMMANDMENT THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO FORGET LATER ON, SO HE 27:32 KNEW THEY WOULD FORGET IT, SO THAT'S WHY IT'S THE ONLY 27:36 COMMANDMENT THAT BEGINS WITH REMEMBER. 27:39 RIGHT? SO WHY NOW DO PEOPLE SAY, YEAH, 27:41 BUT THE COMMANDMENTS ARE WRITTEN IN OUR HEART. 27:45 WELL, HOW COME THERE ARE ONLY NINE WRITTEN THERE AND NOT TEN? 27:49 IF GOD PUT A BOX TOGETHER AND SAID HERE IS TEN, AND I'M GIVING 27:54 THESE TO YOU, BUT REMEMBER THIS FOURTH BOOK, BECAUSE IT'S REALLY 27:59 IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT'S MY SEAL IN IT, MY SIGNATURE ON MY 28:03 ARTWORK, CREATION, IT'S THE ONL ONE OF THE COMMANDMENTS THAT 28:07 SAYS WHO HE IS. I'M THE LORD -- THE CREATOR GOD 28:10 OF THE UNIVERSE. >> UH-HUH. 28:12 >> SO DON'T FORGET THIS ONE, BECAUSE YOU FORGET ME. 28:16 SO GOD GIVES -- GOD HIMSELF PUTS TEN COMMANDMENTS, HE DIDN'T GIVE 28:21 MOSES NINE. HE GIVES HIM TEN. 28:23 AND SO WHY DID HE GIVE MOSES TEN COMMANDMENTS THEN? 28:28 IT'S A VERY SIMPLE THING. HE SAID YOU WERE SLAVES FOR SO 28:32 MANY YEARS, HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF YEARS, THESE JEWS 28:39 ORE ISRAELITES WERE SLAVES FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS, SO YOU DON'T 28:46 KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT SABBATH.-YOU ARE IGNORANT OF THE SABBATH, SO WHEN NOW THEY ARE FREED, THEN 28:52 GOD SAYS I'M GOING TO HAVE TO TEACH MY PEOPLE -- MOSES TEACH 28:58 THE PEOPLE ABOUT MY ETERNAL SABBATH. 29:02 THEY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT. 29:04 SO HE WAS REAFFIRMING OR EDUCATED THEM, NOW THAT YOU ARE 29:11 FREE, YOU ARE MY PEOPLE SO THIS IS A SIGN BETWEEN ME AND YOU, IT 29:15 HAS ALWAYS BEEN BETWEEN EVERYONE ELSE, BUT NOW YOU ARE FREE AND 29:18 OUT OF BONDAGE, SO THIS IS A SIGN BETWEEN YOU AND ME, AND AS 29:22 YOU SAID -- AS WE NOW, AND MOST EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANS AND 29:27 OTHERS WILL SAY WE'RE BASICALLY THE NEW JEW, WE'RE THE CHOSEN OF 29:32 GOD AND IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, SO NOW GOD GIVES ME TEN THINGS, AND 29:37 THE CENTER ONE SAYS, MY SEAL, WHO I AM, I'M THE CREATOR AND 29:42 GOD OF THE UNIVERSE, EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ME, AND 29:46 THEN A CHRISTIAN SAYS, WELL, WE'RE JUST GOING TO KEEP THESE 29:50 IN YOUR HEART, BUT I'M GOING TO TAKE THIS ONE OUT AND PUT IT 29:53 OVER HERE, AND IN FACT, I THINK WE'LL JUST -- LET'S JUST DO 29:57 ANOTHER DAY, THE CATHOLIC CHURCH STARTED THE FIRST DAY OF THE 30:00 WEEK IN HONOR, THEY SAY OF THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST, SO WE 30:04 WILL KEEP THIS DAY OF THE WEEK. NOW, I DON'T SAY THIS BEING 30:10 FACETIOUS, I'M JUST TALK IN NORMAL EVERY DAY TALK WITH LAY 30:14 PEOPLE, DOES THAT REALLY MAKE ANY SENSE THAT YOU WOULD GO TO 30:18 ALL OF THIS TROUBLE TO HAVE TO WORK SO HARD TO TRY TO GET OUT 30:23 OF KEEPING A DAY THAT YOU WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SEPARATING 30:28 WHAT GOD PUT TOGETHER? YOU CAN'T DO IT. 30:31 NO MORE THAN A HUSBND AND WIFE THAT SOMEBODY CAN COME IN 30:34 BETWEEN AND SEPARATE THEM. HE SAYS THAT -- THAT 30:38 WHEN -- WHEN YOU ARE A UNION, LET NO MAN PUT ASUNDER. 30:46 THE SABBATH IN GODS COMMANDMENTS, THEY ARE ALL THE 30:50 SAME WAY. WE HAVE THIS COMPLETE PACKAGE, 30:53 AND GOD EVEN SAYS ON THIS ONE, REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY TO KEEP 30:57 IT HOLY. REMEMBER, DON'T FORGET. 31:00 BECAUSE HE KNOWS THE HUMAN NATURE. 31:02 SO NOW WE GET TO THE NEW TESTAMENT AND PEOPLE 31:06 REALLY -- LIKE MAN AND OTHERS WHO ARE KNOWLEDGEABLE -- I'M NOT 31:10 TALKING ABOUT JUST YOUR LAYMAN WHO REALLY DON'T KNOW, BUT 31:13 PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO STUDY THE BIBLE 31:16 HAVE TO WORK SO HARD TO JUSTIFY WHAT THEY ARE DOING. 31:20 YOU WOULD NEVER COME TO THAT CONCLUSION, I PROMISE YOU, IF 31:23 YOU TAKE A BIBLE AND GIVE IT TO SOMEONE WHO HAS NEVER HAD ONE, 31:26 AND THEY READ IT, THEY WILL NEVER GO TO CHURCH SUNDAY FOR 31:30 ANY REASON. THEY WILL GO TO CHURCH ON THE 31:33 SEVENTH DAY OF THE WEEK. RICHARD BLAND TOLD ME THIS YEARS 31:38 AGO. HE SAID BELIEVE IT OR NOT THERE 31:40 ARE PEOPLE HERE IN AMERICA -- WHEN I GO TO THE 31:43 PRISONS, THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER READ THE BIBLE. 31:46 WE GIVE THEM A BIBLE, SIX WEEKS LATER, WE COME BACK, AND OTHER 31:51 PEOPLE AND OTHER DENOMINATIONS WILL COME, AND THESE PEOPLE HAVE 31:55 ASKED THEM, AND THEY WILL ASK US, WHY ARE WE GOING TO CHURCH 31:59 ON SUNDAY? THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK. 32:01 AND HE SAYS, WE DON'T. WE GO SATURDAY. 32:05 WHY? WELL, THE OTHER CHAPLAINS THEY 32:07 GO ON SUNDAY. WELL, WHY, RICHARD SAYS, WOULD 32:10 YOU THINK THAT PEOPLE SHOULD GO -- BECAUSE WE READ THE BIBLE. 32:14 YOU GAVE US THE BIBLE. IT SAYS THE SEVENTH DAY OF THE 32:18 WEEK. SO RICHARD SAID HERE ARE PEOPLE 32:21 WHO HAVE NEVER READ A BIBLE, NO ONE TO INFLUENCE THEM, AND YOU 32:24 HAVE TO JUSTFY IT SO BAD THAT YOU ARE WILLING TO PLAY GOD. 32:28 YOU ARE WILLING TO ERASE HIS SIGNATURE, AND SAY, OH, NO, I'M 32:33 DOING IT BCAUSE OF THIS, WHEN YOU CAN JUST STUDY THE HISTORY 32:37 AND SEE HOW SUNDAY WORSHIP CAME INTO, AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO 32:42 STUDY HERE, AND YOU ARE GOING TO HELP US SEE WHY IT IS SO 32:46 IMPORTANT IN THE END TIMES, AND WHY WOULD GOD GIVE YOU SABBATH, 32:50 HE'S SPECIAL -- HE CREATED -- HE SANCTIFIED IT, RIGHT? 32:54 MADE IT A HOLY DAY -- THIS IS JUST LIKE MARRIAGE. 32:58 YOU KNOW, MARRIAGE IS STILL THIS SAME PERSON WHOM THE OTHER 33:02 NIGHT, IF YOU ASK HIM, IS MARRIAGE STILL IN EFFECT, 33:06 BETWEEN -- IT IS ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN, AND HE 33:09 BLESSED -- RIGHT -- >> UH-HUH. 33:11 >> -- THE UNITY OF ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN, INSTITUTE OF MARRIAGE-AND CREATION, IS MARRIAGE STILL 33:18 AN INSTITUTION? HE WON'T TELL YOU, THAT WAS DONE 33:22 AWAY WITH? WILL HE. 33:23 >> NO. >> HE IS MARRIED, AND HAD A 33:27 WEDDING RING ON TO PROVE HE IS MARRIED. 33:30 WHY ISN'T THAT DONE AWAY WITH? WHY DON'T EVERYBODY JUST LIVE 33:33 THE WA YOU WANT TO. IN THAT WAS INSTITUTED THE EXACT 33:36 SAME TIME THAT -- THAT THE SABBATH WAS, RIGHT? 33:39 >> YEP. >> SO -- MAYBE EVEN SOONER, FROM 33:42 THE SIXTH DAY. >> RIGHT. 33:44 >> THE SIXTH DAY, SO WHY WOULD HE STILL BELIEVE -- AND 33:48 OTHERS -- YOU SAY, WELL, MARRIAGE IS STILL BINDING, WELL, 33:53 THEN, WHY ISN'T THE SABBATH? YOU HAVE TO WORK AT IT TO SAY IT 33:59 IS NOT IMPORTANT. BUT MY PART OF CLOSING -- YOU 34:02 TOLD ME TO TALK, YOU PROBABLY SHOULDN'T HAVE -- 34:05 [ LAUGHTER ] >> BUT MY PART ON THE END OF 34:08 THIS IS OKAY, WHY WOULD HE ESTABLISH THE SABBATH? 34:10 WHY WOULD IT BE KEPT AND BLESSED AND HOLY AND SANCTIFIED DAY JUST 34:14 LIKE MARRIAGE, ALL THROUGH THE EONS OF TIME, MOSES, CHILDREN OF 34:23 ISRAEL, JESUS HIMSELF, BUT THEN EVEN AFTER HE WAS CRUCIFIED, THE 34:29 DISCIPLES, AFTER JESUS RESURRECTED, STILL KEPT THE 34:33 SABBATH. >> RIGHT. 34:33 >> SOME OF THE WRITINGS WEREN'T UNTIL HOW MANY YEARS AFTER -- 70 34:41 YEARS, 60, AFTER THE NEW TESTAMENT PEOPLE WERE STILL 34:46 KEEPING THE SABBATH. AND IT SAYS FROM SABBATH TO 34:50 ANOTHER, TALK ABOUT THE NEW HEAVENS AND NEW EARTH SHALL ALL 34:54 FLESH COME TO WORSHIP BEFORE ME. WE HAVE GOD RESTING THE SEVENTH 34:59 DAY. ADAM AND EVE, WE BELIEVE, 35:02 STARTING THE NEXT SABBATH, AND PEOPLE 35:03 THROUGHOUT -- LITERALLY -- SABBATH WAS MADE FOR MAN, NOT 35:07 JUST THE JEWS, SO THE SABBATH HAS BEEN KEPT ALL THE WAY 35:10 THROUGH THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD. 35:12 IT'S GOING TO BE KEPT IN HEAVEN, BUT WE DON'T KEEP IT RIGHT NOW. 35:15 >> I -- I'M -- I'M JUST -- >> YEAH, LIKE -- WHAT? 35:19 >> I'M JUST SAYING FROM A COMMON SENSE, THESE ARE THINGS THAT RUN 35:25 THROUGH MY LITTLE MINE. SO YOU GO AHEAD. 35:27 >> I CAN FEEL YOUR FRUSTRATION. [ LAUGHTER ] 35:36 >> WELL, YOU SEE, THE BOTTOM LINE IS THIS. 35:40 SABBATH IS THE BEST DAY FOR SHOPPING AND FOR COLLEGE 35:44 FOOTBALL, AND PEOPLE WOULD PREFER TO WATCH COLLEGE FOOTBALL 35:48 AND TO GO SHOPPING THAN TO REMEMBER THEIR CREATOR. 35:54 I'LL PUT IT BLUNTLY. IT'S A MATTER OF WHETHER YOU 35:58 REALLY LOVE JESUS. JESUS SAYS IF YOU LOVE ME, YOU 36:01 WILL KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS, AND ESPECIALLY, YOU'LL WANT TO SPEND 36:07 ALL DAY SABBATH WITH ME. IN THE DEBATE, THE EVANGELICAL 36:11 INDIVIDUAL HE GAVE THE IMPRESSION THAT, YOU KNOW, 36:14 SABBATH IS ABOUT GOING TO CHURCH. 36:18 NO. NO. 36:19 NO. SABBATH BEGINS AT SUNDAY DOWN ON 36:23 FRIDAY, AND ENDS SUNDOWN ON SATURDAY OR SABBATH. 36:27 ALL 24 HOURS ARE HOLY ACCORDING TO GENESIS. 36:31 SO WE ARE TO SUSPEND EVERYTHING OURS, AND FOCUS TOTALLY ON 36:38 JESUS. PEOPLE SAY THAT IS SUCH A BIG 36:42 SACRIFICE. NOT IF YOU LOVE JESUS. 36:45 >> RIGHT. >> IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS WORSE, 36:48 BUT I GUESS IT ISN'T. IF YOU GO BACK 50, 70 YEARS, 36:54 EVEN 100 YEARS AGO, PEOPLE WHO WENT TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY, KEPT 36:58 IT AS THOUGH IT WAS A SABBATH. THEY DIDN'T GO OUT AND DO THOSE 37:02 THINGS. FIRST OF ALL IT WAS THE WRONG 37:05 DAY, AND A LOT OF THEM IN IGNORANCE, BUT NOW OVER THE LAST 37:10 MANY, MANY YEARS, YOU SEE THAT THOSE FOLK WHO GO ON SUNDAY, 37:14 DON'T EVEN TRY TO KEEP IT HOLY ANYMORE. 37:16 BECAUSE THEY SAY IT'S NOT A HOLY DAY, AND THAT TOTALLY TAKES YOU 37:21 FROM THAT, TO NOT EVEN GOING TO CHURCH, BECAUSE A LOT OF 37:24 PEOPLE -- I JUST RUN TO CHURCH -- AND SOME OF THE 37:27 CHURCHES, LIKE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, YOU CAN GO SATURDAY 37:31 EVENING AND NOT GO SUNDAY, I'M TOLD AND KIND OF CONVENIENCE 37:35 YOU. BUT ALL RIGHT. 37:36 >> THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THINGS I WANT TO COVER BEFORE WE TAKE 37:40 QUESTIONS, IF WE COULD. >> YEAH. 37:42 >> FIRST OF ALL, DID JESUS BREAK THE SABBATH? 37:46 SOMETHING THAT WAS BROUGHT UP IN THE DEBATE IS JOHN 5:18, WHERE 37:51 JESUS HAD -- HAD HEALED A PAIR IT WILLIC, AND THE INDIVIDUAL 37:55 WHO WAS DEFENDING THE ANTI-SABBATH POSITION READ JOHN 38:03 5:18, WHERE IT SAYS THEREFORE THE JEWS SOUGHT ALL THE MORE TO 38:07 KILL HIM, BECAUSE HE NOT ONLY BROKE HE SABBATH, BUT ALSO SAID 38:10 THAT GOD WAS HIS FATHER, MAKING HIMSELF EQUAL WITH GOD. 38:15 SO THE TEXT SEEMS TO SAY THAT JESUS BROKE THE SABBATH BY 38:19 HEALING THIS MAN, BUT REALLY, WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE -- AND 38:22 I'M GOING TO PROVE IT IN A MINUTE -- IS THAT THE -- THE 38:27 JEWS THOUGHT THAT HE WAS BREAKING THE SABBATH BECAUSE OF 38:31 THE TRADITIONS THAT THEY HAD ADDED TO THE SABBATH. 38:34 >> CORRECT. >> THERE IS NO LAW IN THE OLD 38:38 TESTAMENT THAT FORBIDS HEALING ON THE SABBATH. 38:40 IT WAS NOT BREAKING THE LAW TO HEAL ON SABBATH. 38:43 AND NOW LET ME PROVE IT TO YOU. LET'S GO TO MATTHEW 12:10-12. 38:51 SEE PEOPLE SIMPLY DON'T READ THE BIBLE FOR THEMSELVES. 38:55 THEY IMPLICITLY TRUST WHAT THEIR RELATION LEADERS SAY, AND IF 38:59 THEIR LEADERS SAY, IT'S SUNDAY, AND THAT'S IT. 39:02 PEOPLE DON'T STUDY FOR THEMSELVES, THEY SIMPLY ACCEPT 39:06 WHAT THEY ARE TOLD. >> AND THE TRADITION. 39:08 WELL, IT WAS GOOD FOR MY GRAMMY, SO IT IS GOOD FOR ME. 39:13 >> RIGHT. CHAPTER 12 IS TALKING ABOUT A 39:15 MAN THAT HAD A WITHEREDHAND THAT HE HEALED ON THE SABBATH. 39:26 VERSE 10 AND THEN 12. >> AND BEHOLD THERE WAS A MAN 39:30 WHO HAD A WITHEREDHAND? AND THEY SAID IS IT LAWFUL TO 39:40 HEAL ON THE SABBATH. AND THEN HE SAID TO THEM, WHAT 39:44 MAN IS THERE AMONG YOU, WHO HAS ONE SHEEP AND IF IT FALLS INTO A 39:49 PIT ON THE SABBATH WILL NOT LAY HOLD OF IT AND LIFT IT OUT, OF 39:54 HOW MUCH MORE VALUE THEN IS A MAN THAT A SHEEP? 39:57 THEREFORE IT IS LAWFUL TO DO GOOD ON THE SABBATH. 40:01 >> SO IS IT BREAKING THE LAW TO HEAL ON SABBATH? 40:05 NO. IT IS LAWFUL TO HEAL ON SABBATH. 40:08 SO WHEN IT SAYS THAT JESUS BROKE THE SABBATH. 40:11 I WASN'T THE BIBLICAL SABBATH, JOHN IS SIMPLY SAYING THAT 40:18 ACCORDING TO THE TRADITIONS OF THE JEWS, WHICH IS THE CONTEXT, 40:22 JESUS BROKE THE SABBATH, BUT IT WASN'T BREAKING THE SABBATH. 40:26 >> NO, BECAUSE THAT WOULD MAKE HIM A SINNER. 40:31 >> AND IF HE WAS A SINNER, HE WOULD NEED A REDEEMER. 40:35 >> AND HE COULDN'T SAVE US. >> ONE OTHER THING. 40:38 >> OKAY. >> IS THE SABBATH JEWISH? 40:42 WELL, LET ME HERE ASK A FEW QUESTIONS. 40:44 WHO CREATED THE LIGHT? >> GOD. 40:47 >> TO WHOM DOES IT BELONG? TO WHOM DOES THE LIGHT BELONG? 40:52 >> IT BELONGS TO HIM. >> OKAY. 40:57 TO WHOM WAS THE FIRMENT BELONG? GOD. 41:01 TO WHOM WAS THE VEGETATION BELONG? 41:04 TO GOD. TO WHOM DO THE SUN, MOON AND 41:06 STARS BELONG? >> GOD. 41:10 >> TO WHOM DO THE FISH AND THE ANIMALS BELONG? 41:13 >> GOD. >> TO WHOM DO MEN AND WOMAN 41:18 BELONG? >> GOD. 41:19 >> BUT THE SABBATH BELONGS TO THE JEWS. 41:21 >> HUM. >> THERE IS A CONTRADICTION 41:25 THERE, BECAUSE IF EVERYTHING GOD MADE IS HIS BECAUSE HE CREATED 41:28 IT, HE CREATED THE SABBATH TOO, SO THE SABBATH MUST BE HIS. 41:32 AND THAT'S WHY THE SABBATH IS ALWAYS CALLED THE SABBATH OF THE 41:37 LORD, YOUR GOD. GOD REFERS TO IT BY SAYING YOU 41:41 SHALL KEEP MY SABBATHS -- >> THAT'S RIGHT. 41:43 >> HE SAYS TAKE AWAY YOUR FOOT FROM MY HOLY DAY. 41:47 >> UH-HUH. >> AND JESUS SAID I AM LORD OF 41:50 THE SABBATH. >> UH-HUH. 41:53 >> NOT ONCE IN THE GOSPELS DO YOU FIND THE SABBATH REFERRED TO 41:57 AS THE SABBATH OF THE JEWS. AND HERE IS SOMETHING VERY 42:01 INTERESTING -- >> OR YOUR SABBATH. 42:03 WE NEVER SEE -- >> NEVER YOUR SABBATH. 42:06 >>ER IN REFERS TO IT AS YOUR SABBATH. 42:09 >> BUT JESUS DID REFER TO THE HEBREW FEASTS, AS JEWISH FEASTS. 42:15 I'LL GIVE YOU SEVERAL EXAMPLES. JOHN 2:13, IT SAYS, THAT THE 42:21 PASSOVER OF THE VIEWS WAS NEAR. JOHN 5:1, IT SPEAKS ABOUT A 42:27 FEAST OF THE JEWS. JOHN 6:4, IT SAYS THE PASSOVER, 42:31 A FEAST OF THE JEW. JOHN 7:2, THE JEWS FEAST OF 42:37 TABERNACLES. AND JOHN 11:55, THE JEW'S 42:42 PASSOVER WAS NIGH AT HAND. WHEN IT REFERS TO THE 42:50 CEREMONIALS, HE REFERS TO IT AS THE FEAST OF THE JEWS. 42:55 AND IF YOU PURSUE THIS ARGUMENT, YOU SAY, WELL, BECAUSE -- YOU 42:58 KNOW, BECAUSE THE SABBATH, YOU KNOW, IS -- IS THE DAY THAT, YOU 43:04 KNOW, THAT GO GAVE TO THE JEWS, THEREFORE, IT'S JEWISH, WELL, 43:08 LET ME ASK YOU WHAT DO YOU DO WITH MATTHEW 2:2 WHERE JESUS IS 43:13 SPOKEN ABOUT THE KING OF THE JEWS. 43:16 THAT MEANS JESUS IS ONLY KING OF THE JEWS NOT KING OF THE 43:26 GENTILES. >> OH, RIGHT. 43:28 >> WHY DOES IT SAY KING OF THE JEWS? 43:30 BECAUSE HE'S DEALING WITH THE JEWS AT THAT MOMENT. 43:34 WHY DOES EXODUS 31:17 SAY THE SABBATH IS A SIGN BETWEEN ME AND 43:40 THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL, BECAUSE ISRAEL WAS HIS PEOPLE AT THE 43:46 MOMENT. HE WASN'T TALKING TO THE CHURCH 43:48 AT THAT TIME. BUT THEY COME TO THE 43:50 CONCLUSION -- THEY SAY, OH, WELL, IT SAYS THE SABBATH IS A 43:54 SIGN FOREVER BETWEEN GOD AND THE JEWS. 43:57 YES. DOES IT SAY EXCLUSIVELY GOD AND 43:59 THE JEWS? NO, THAT'S AN ASSUMPTION ON 44:02 THEIR PART. >> WE HOPE NOT, BECAUSE IF HE IS 44:05 KING OF THE JEWS, DOES THAT MEAN HE IS KING EXCLUSIVELY OF THE 44:10 JEWS, AND OF COURSE THEY REJECTED HIM. 44:18 >> ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE TO COME BACK TO THE END 44:22 TIME. BUT WE HAVE TO TAKE SOME 44:25 QUESTIONS. >> OKAY. 44:26 STEPHEN BOHR AND DANNY WERE TALKING ABOUT THE SABBATH. 44:31 STEPHEN BOHR SAID GOD MADE THE SABBATH AND THEN GAVE IT TO MEN. 44:35 GOD RETAINED THE OWNERSHIP OF THE SABBATH AND EXPECTS THEM TO 44:41 SHARE IT WITH HIM. I THINK IT WAS A TIME FOR 44:44 SHARING. A PERPETUAL APPOINTMENT MADE FOR 44:47 MAN TO MAINTAIN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GOD AND MAN -- I DON'T 44:52 SEE HOW WHAT YOU SAID CONTRADICTS THAT. 44:54 >> IT'S REALLY JUST NITPICKING. IF I CAN SAY IT, 44:58 BECAUSE -- BECAUSE GOD GAVE EVERYTHING IN CREATION FOR MAN'S 45:02 USE. >> YES. 45:02 >> HE GAVE US WATER. HE GAVE US SUNSHINE. 45:05 HE GAVE US FOOD -- YOU KNOW, IT'S HIS, BUT HE GAVE IT TO US. 45:10 AND THE SABBATH IS HIS. THAT'S WHY IT IS CALLED THE 45:14 SABBATH OF THE LORD, BUT HE GIVES IT TO US. 45:16 >> RIGHT. PEOPLE ARE SAYING IT'S OKAY TO 45:20 HELP YOUR NEIGHBOR FOR EXAMPLE HARVEST THEIR FIELDS, ET CETERA 45:23 ON THE SABBATH, JUSTIFIED BY ANYTHING DONE FOR THE SALVATION 45:27 OF SOMEONE IS ACCEPTABLE. THIS IS BECOMING COMMON EVEN 45:31 AMONG SDA'S THEY ARE SAYING IT IS OKAY AS LONG AS YOU ARE DOING 45:36 IT FOR NON-SHELFISH REASONS. IT IS OKAY? 45:40 WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? >> CAN YOU GO SHOPPING AND 45:45 PAINTING AND ALL OF THAT STUFF? >> THOSE ARE THINGS -- THOSE ARE 45:51 THINGS THAT YOU DO EVERY OTHER DAY OF THE WEEK. 45:53 YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THOSE THINGS ON SABBATH. 45:56 YOU CAN TALK TO THE PEOPLE, AND SAY CAN I COME BY YOUR HOUSE ON 46:01 SUNDAY AND PAINT YOUR HOUSE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO IT ON THE 46:04 SABBATH. ONCE YOU START DOWN THAT ROAD, 46:06 ANYTHING IS ALLOWABLE ON SABBATH. 46:10 YOU LOSE THE SACREDNESS OF THE SABBATH. 46:14 >> AND I THINK WHEN JESUS SAID IF YOU HAD A SHEEP WOULD YOU 46:17 PULL HIM OUT, WE HAD A TORNADO HERE QUITE A FEW YEARS AGO, AND 46:21 SOME ELDERLY LADY DOWN THE ROAD, HER TREE FELL ON HER HOUSE, AND 46:28 I TOOK THE CHAIN SAW AND CUT THAT OUT, BECAUSE IT IS LAWFUL 46:31 TO DO GOOD ON THE SABBATH. >> THAT'S AN EMERGENCY, THOUGH. 46:35 >> YEAH, IT'S THE DIFFERENCE THAN IF YOU HAVE A TREE FALL AND 46:40 CUT IT ON SABBATH. I COULD SAY HOW ABOUT SUNDAY 46:45 I'LL CUT THAT TREE. IF IT FALLS ON YOUR HOUSE AND 46:48 YOU HAVE AN ELDERLY LADY IS INSIDE, I'M GOING TO DO THAT. 46:57 I'M SAYING LET'S GO BACK TO THE SHEEPS IN THE DITCH, WELL, THEN 47:00 PULL IT OUT, EMERGENCY, BUT AS YOU SAID, LET'S DON'T JUST GO 47:05 BECAUSE PEOPLE USE IT AS EXCUSES, WELL, WE'LL GO PAIN 47:09 SOMEBODY'S HOUSE TODAY ON SABBATH, BECAUSE WE'RE NOT 47:11 MAKING ANY MONEY. IT'S A GOOD EXAMPLE. 47:14 BUT WHY NOT DO IT ON SUNDAY OR ANOTHER DAY. 47:17 >> RIGHT. AND THE SABBATH IS PARTICULARLY 47:20 TO REMEMBER GOD. LIKE FOR EXAMPLE, AND THIS HAS 47:23 HAPPENED TO ME, YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, AND YOU FIND A 47:27 WOMAN WHO HAS A FLAT TIRE. WELL, WHAT ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO 47:31 DO AT THAT MOMENT? SHE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO CHANGE A 47:36 FLAT TIRE. SO YOU SAY, WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW, 47:40 I'LL COME CHANGE IT FOR YOU. OF COURSE. 47:43 BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU ARE GOING TO ROTATE YOUR TIRES ON 47:47 SABBATH. >> RIGHT. 47:48 >> IT'S THE EXCEPTION, NOT THE RULE. 47:52 >> AND PLEASE DON'T WRITE IN. HE KNOWS THAT SOME WOMEN CAN 47:56 CHANGE TIRES. >> WELL, I'M TALKING ABOUT 47:59 SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED 30 YEARS AGO. 48:02 [ LAUGHTER ] >> OKAY. 48:02 >> ARE WE SUPPOSED TO BE KEEPING THE FEAST DAYS? 48:06 IS THE 144,000 LITERAL? >> WE BETTER STOP IT THERE. 48:12 >> THOSE AREN'T REALLY QUESTIONS RELATED TO WHAT WE'RE TALKING 48:15 ABOUT. BUT IF THEY ARE INTERESTED IN 48:16 THE FEAST DAYS, WE HAVE 24-HOUR SERIES FROM OUR ANCHOR SCHOOL OF 48:24 THEOLOGY FROM LAST YEAR, WHERE WE DEAL WITH THE FEAST, YOU 48:28 KNOW, WHAT THEY MEAN AND WHETHER WE ARE REQUIRED TO STILL OBSERVE 48:33 THEM OR NOT.

WE ONLY HAVE A FEW 51:22 MINUTES -- YOU BROUGHT STUFF AT US AT A FAST GATLIN GUN, YOU 51:26 KNOW, WAY, BECAUSE WE HAVE TO TONIGHT. 51:29 AND NORMALLY TWO HOURS WOULD BE A LOT, BUT THIS WENT BY REALLY 51:34 QUICKLY, AND SO COULD YOU JUST KIND OF -- WE HAVE JUST A FEW 51:38 MINUTES, MAYBE RECAP FOR US WHAT WE LEARNED TONIGHT? 51:41 >> OKAY. WHERE DO I START? 51:44 [ LAUGHTER ] >> AT THE BEGINNING. 51:47 >> WHY NOT GENESIS.-YEAH, BOTTOM LINE IS THAT WE NOTICED TONIGHT THAT THE SABBATH 51:54 IN ITS ORIGINAL INTENTION HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH POINTING 52:00 FORWARD TO THE DEATH OF CHRIST, BECAUSE WHEN THE SABBATH WAS 52:03 ESTABLISHED, THERE WAS NO SIN. SO IT WAS PART OF GOD'S ORIGINAL 52:08 PLAN. SECONDLY THE SABBATH WAS NOT 52:10 MADE FOR THE JEWS, BECAUSE ORIGINALLY THERE WERE NO JEWS. 52:14 >> UH-HUH. >> THERE WAS ADAM AND EVES, AND 52:18 THEN THEIR DESCENDANTS AFTER THAT. 52:23 SO IT WAS NOT A SHADOW POINTING TO CHRIST, NEITHER WAS IT A DAY 52:28 THAT GOD MADE ONLY FOR THE JEWS. IT'S NOT PART OF THE OLD 52:32 COVENANT. THE OLD COVENANT COMES IN AFTER 52:34 SIN. IT'S NOT -- IT TRANSCENDS THE 52:37 OLD COVENANT. AND WE HAVE ALSO NOTICED 52:42 THAT -- THAT GOD MADE THE SABBATH HOLY. 52:45 HE WORKED SIX DAYS, MADE THE SABBATH HOLY, AND THEN HE TOLD 52:52 ADAM AND EVE, NOW YOU ARE GOING TO WORK SIX DAYS, AND YOU ARE 52:56 GOING TO REST ON THE SEVENTH DAY THE WAY THAT YOU SAW ME REST. 53:02 SO BASICALLY WE NOTICED THAT THE SABBATH -- AND THIS IS THE KEY 53:05 POINT, THE SABBATH IS A CREATION INSTITUTION, IT IS NOT PART OF 53:11 THE OLD COVENANT. IT WAS NOT GIVEN TO THE JEWS 53:15 ONLY. YOU KNOW, ALL THROUGHOUT THE 53:16 BIBLE, LIKE YOU WERE MENNINGING, THE SABBATH IS THERE. 53:20 >> WHAT ABOUT ISAIAH, OR -- IN -- IN GENESIS -- I'M 53:25 SORRY -- 26:5-6. THIS IS WAY -- WAY BEFORE MOSES, 53:31 RIGHT? >> RIGHT. 53:31 >> I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY YEARS, BUT A LONG TIME. 53:33 YOU COULD TELL US PROBABLY CLOSER, BUT IT SAYS -- STARTING 53:38 WITH VERE 4 AND I WILL MAKE YOUR DESECANTS MULTIPLY LIKE THE 53:45 STARS OF HEAVEN. I WILL GIVE YOU DESCENDANTS ALL 53:50 OF YOUR LAND AT YOUR SPEED. ALL OF THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH 53:54 SHALL BE BLESSED, BECAUSE ABRAHAM WILL BADE MY VOICE AND 54:00 KEPT MY CHARGE AND MY COMMANDMENT AND MY STATUTES AND 54:04 MY LAWS. NOW TELL ME -- PEOPLE SAY THERE 54:09 IS NOPROOF THAT GOD GAVE THE COMMANDMENTS AND THE SABBATH 54:13 TO -- BEFORE MOSES. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN IF IT 54:17 DOESN'T MEAN THAT? HE NOT ONLY SAYS IT ONCE -- HE 54:21 IS SAYING -- IN CASE YOU MISSED IT, ABRAHAM WILL BADE MY 54:26 VOICE -- BECAUSE A LOT OF IT -- WHAT THE LORD IMPRESSED 54:30 HIM. KEPT MY CHARGE, MY COMMANDMENTS, 54:33 MY STATUES, AND MY LAWS. WHAT DOES THAT -- DOES THAT MEAN 54:38 TEN COMMANDMENTS? >> FOLLOWING UP ON THAT IN 54:42 EXODUS 16, THE MANNA EPISODE, WHEN GOD GIVES THE MANNA, HE 54:48 SAYS I'M GOING TO TEST ISRAEL TO SEE IF THEY WALK IN MY LAW, AND 54:53 ON VERSE 28 WHEN THEY WENT OUT TO GET MANNA OTHER THAN FRIDAY 54:56 FOR THE SABBATH, GOD SAYS HOW LONG WILL YOU DISOBEY MY 55:02 COMMANDMENTS AND MY LAWS, AND THERE IT DEALS SPECIFICALLY WITH 55:05 THE SABBATH, AND IT'S THE SAME EXPRESSION THAT APPEARS IN 55:10 GENESIS 26. SO THEY CLEARLY -- THE SABBATH 55:15 EXISTED BETWEEN CREATION AND EXODUS 16, ALTHOUGH THERE'S NO 55:20 MENTION DIRECTLY OF PEOPLE KEEPING THE SABBATH DURING THAT 55:25 PERIOD -- >> YOU DIDN'T NEED TO BECAUSE 55:29 EVERYONE DID. >> YEAH, IT'S LIKE WHY DIDN'T 55:34 JESUS SAY KEEP THE SABBATH? WHAT HE HAD TO DO WAS SAY KEEP 55:40 IT IN THE RIGHT WAY, HE WAS TO RESTORE THE SABBATH TO ITS 55:44 ORIGINAL INTENTION. >> OKAY. 55:47 OUR TIME IS JUST ABOUT GONE CLOSING THOUGHT FROM YOU? 55:50 >> THIS IS JUST RICH. AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL OF 55:53 THE DEATH OF YOUR SCHOLARSHIP. WE REALLY APPRECIATE THE INCITE 55:57 THAT GOD HAS GIVEN YOU. >> PRAISE THE LORD. 56:01 >> I WOULD LIKE TO PUT THE PHONE NUMBER UP AGAIN. 56:07 I SHOULD HAVE MEMORIZED IT BY NOW. 56:14 559-264-2300, AND SECRETS UNSEALED, "HIDDEN SABBATH 56:17 TRUTHS," AND YOU CAN GET THIS BOOK WHEN YOU CALL THAT, 56:21 ABSOLUTELY FREE.-pIT'S A GREAT BOOK. IT'S A SMALL -- I LIKE A QUICK 56:25 READ, THAT'S WHAT THIS IS, BUT IT'S LOADED WITH LOTS AND LOTS 56:28 OF TRUTHS. >> AND LARGE PRINT. 56:33 [ LAUGHTER ] >> YVONNE AND ME WERE FIGHTING 56:36 OVER OUR GLASSES TONIGHT. BECAUSE WE HAD ONE PAIR. 56:39 SO IF YOU SEE US STRUGGLING A LITTLE BIT, THAT COMES WITH 56:44 MATURITY. NOT OLD AGE. 56:45 >> I LIKE THAT. >> SO PASTOR STEVE THANK YOU 56:50 ONCE AGAIN FOR BEING HERE, FOR ALL YOU DO FOR THE CAUSE OF GOD 56:53 AND WE ASK YOU TO PRAY AND ASK THE HOLY SPIRIT DO IN SUPPORT OF 57:02 PASTOR BOHR'S MINISTRY, AND 3ABN. 57:05 OUR TIME IS ALL GONE FOR THIS EVENING UNTIL WE SEE YOU NEXT 57:09 TIME, MAY THE LORD RICHLY BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY MORE THAN YOU 57:14 COULD EVER ASK OR THINK. ♪ |
