00:01 In the Bible in Isaiah 58:13,
00:03 God speaks of My Holy Day. 00:07 Muslims today keep Friday as their holy day. 00:09 Jews and a growing number of Christians 00:12 go to church on Saturday. 00:14 And then there's the majority of Christians 00:16 that keep Sunday. 00:18 Which day is the right day? 00:20 That's our topic, stay tuned. 01:14 Welcome to part 12 of the 13-part series 01:17 called Good News for Muslims, 01:19 discussing Christian Muslim issues. 01:22 And we're right down near the end. 01:24 We've only got one more program after this, 01:25 so, thank you for being with us today. 01:28 Our topic today is called God's Holy Day. 01:32 What day is really God's Holy Day? 01:35 My guest again is Shahbaz. 01:36 Shahbaz, you're still here with me. 01:38 Thank you. 01:40 We've got one more program to go, 01:42 11 behind us, and this is a big one. 01:45 So we're going to talk about which day is God's day. 01:50 And in our last program, 01:52 we went down through Exodus Chapter 20, 01:55 and we talked about the Ten Commandments. 01:58 And as we discussed, 02:00 there's a general respect for Moses 02:04 in the Muslim community, isn't that right? 02:06 That's correct. 02:07 They believe, at least the first five books 02:10 are considered to be pure. 02:11 That's right. 02:12 And as we looked at Exodus 20, 02:14 which is the second book of Moses, 02:17 we went down through 02:18 the Ten Commandments one by one, 02:21 and we didn't spend a lot of time 02:23 on the fourth commandment. 02:25 But let's zero in on this one. 02:27 Why don't you open your Bible? 02:30 And why don't you read this, 02:31 and I'll just follow along here. 02:33 Exodus 20:8-11, 02:37 which is commandment number four. 02:40 Okay, I'm reading, 02:42 "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. 02:44 Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: 02:48 But the seventh day is the Sabbath 02:50 of the Lord thy God. 02:52 In it thou shalt not do any work, 02:54 thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, 02:57 thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, 03:01 nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger 03:03 that is within thy gates: 03:05 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, 03:07 and sea and all that in them is, 03:10 and rested the seventh day: 03:12 wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, 03:15 and hallowed it." 03:16 Okay, so that's commandment number four. 03:18 It's the only commandment of all 10 03:21 that starts out with the word "Remember." 03:23 That's correct. 03:24 You know, eight of them say thou shalt not this or that, 03:28 you shalt not kill, you shalt not commit adultery, 03:30 you shalt not bear false witness. 03:32 One of them, the fifth one, says, 03:34 "Honor your father and your mother." 03:36 But the fourth one alone says remember. 03:40 And when you think of remember, what comes to mind? 03:44 Don't forget. 03:46 Yeah, don't forget. Yeah. 03:48 If my wife told me to go to the market, 03:51 and don't forget, 03:54 remember to get a loaf of bread. 03:57 If I came back with a pizza 04:00 or, you know, some other things, 04:02 but I forgot that loaf of bread, 04:04 I'd be in trouble. 04:05 Remember. 04:07 Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. 04:09 So here God talks about not forgetting His day 04:14 that we should keep holy. 04:15 Now, I think everybody knows, in Islam, 04:19 the holy day for Muslims is Friday. 04:24 Now, enlighten us and tell us, where did that come from, 04:27 why is that the case? 04:29 From jumu'ah in Arabic or jom'e in Persian. 04:32 It's the Persian pronunciation of it. 04:35 Is the day that Muslims venerate 04:39 as their day of prayer coming together. 04:43 Jumu'ah means to come together. 04:45 Jumu'ah? 04:46 Yeah, jumu'ah in Arabic. Yeah. 04:49 It means to come together. Okay. 04:51 And so it's a day that Muslims, wherever they are, 04:54 they come to their mosques and they pray. 04:59 Of course when Muhammad began his ministry, 05:05 in the beginning, 05:07 that was not part of their belief systems. 05:10 But eventually, 05:11 as he began to get these revelations, 05:14 that was also added, 05:15 and he also wanted to contribute something 05:19 to his religion, 05:21 because here, as far as he was concerned, 05:24 Christians kept Sunday. 05:26 And the Jews, they all kept Saturday 05:29 as the day of... 05:30 That was holy to them and rest. 05:32 So he decided 05:34 that Friday would be the day for Muhammad 05:37 and his followers. 05:40 And there are other reasons 05:41 that are given based on the Hadith. 05:44 And that Allah told, for instance, told Muhammad, 05:48 I'm going to read one of these Hadith right now. 05:50 This is a Hadith from the narration 05:52 of Abu Hurairah, 05:56 and he's quoting, supposedly, 05:59 he's quoting the Prophet Muhammad. 06:01 And it reads, "The best day 06:04 that the sun has risen upon is Friday. 06:07 On it, Adam was created, and on it, 06:10 he entered Paradise, and on it 06:13 he was expelled from it. 06:15 And the hour will not be established 06:18 except on Friday." 06:20 So the Hadith, and the Quran, 06:23 they exalt that day as a day 06:25 that is the best day of the week, 06:27 and that all Muslims are to 06:29 basically keep that day 06:32 and as a day of coming together for prayer. 06:35 You mentioned it's in the Quran? 06:37 Yes. 06:38 I think that is the only one place 06:39 in the Quran? 06:41 No, there are more than one. 06:43 But the major one 06:45 is found in Surah 62:9 06:50 62:9, okay, I've got that. 06:52 And let me read that. 06:53 "O you who believe, 06:55 when the call is made for prayer on Friday, 06:58 then hasten to the remembrance of Allah and leave off trading, 07:02 that is better for you, if you know." 07:04 That's right. 07:06 And in fact, that is the only verse 07:07 in the Quran that talks about Friday. 07:10 Yeah. 07:12 This is their purpose and reason 07:15 and they believe this is the day 07:17 that all mankind should be honoring. 07:20 Okay, so this was a revelation to. 07:25 Partly, this particular verse was a revelation from Gabriel, 07:29 and given to Muhammad, 07:32 according to the Islamic tradition. 07:34 And plus the Hadith that supports, 07:36 of course, the Hadith were not written 07:39 until after the death of the Prophet. 07:41 Okay, you mentioned that in the Hadith, 07:43 you read that little bit ago 07:45 that it talks about Friday being the day 07:47 that Adam was created? 07:50 Yes. Okay. 07:51 Let's take a look at that. 07:53 He was created, and he entered into paradise on that day. 07:56 And that is true, according to the Bible. 08:00 We started with Exodus, 08:02 the fourth commandment about the Sabbath. 08:05 And it says, "In six days, the Lord made heaven and earth, 08:08 the sea and all that is in them, 08:09 and He rested on the seventh day. 08:11 And that points us back to Genesis Chapter 1 08:15 and Chapter 2. 08:19 And as the Hadith says, Adam was made on the sixth day. 08:24 And that agrees with the Bible. 08:28 It says in Genesis 1:26, 08:32 "And God said, 'Let us make man in Our image, 08:36 after Our likeness." 08:38 And as you keep reading a little bit farther down 08:40 in verse 31, it says, 08:41 "The evening and the morning were the sixth day." 08:43 So we do have evidence in Moses, 08:47 that Adam was made on the sixth day. 08:51 But then it goes on in Chapter 2. 08:55 And why don't you read verses 1, 2, and 3? 08:59 "Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, 09:01 and all the host of them. 09:03 And on the seventh day God ended His work, 09:06 which He had made, 09:07 and He rested on the seventh day 09:09 from all His work which He had made. 09:11 And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it: 09:14 because that in it He had rested 09:17 from all His work 09:18 which God created and made." 09:20 Okay, let's just make a few points on this. 09:24 The Hadith is right that 09:27 God did make Adam on the sixth day. 09:29 But then it goes on in the Bible in Moses' writings 09:34 that the seventh day was the day that God rested. 09:36 Now, a lot of people think that the Sabbath 09:40 or the seventh day is really a Jewish day. 09:44 I think that's a pretty common view. 09:47 But in Genesis, 09:49 there were no Jews at this point, 09:51 at least in Genesis 1 and Genesis 2, 09:54 Adam was not Jewish. 09:56 God didn't make a Jew, He made a man. 09:59 And then He took Eve from Adam, and made Eve. 10:04 So here we have, you know, God resting on the seventh day. 10:08 And, you know, to me, 10:12 there's a disconnect, 10:15 when, as you've told me, in Islam, 10:19 there's a high regard for the writings of Moses 10:23 that Moses' writings are considered to be pure. 10:26 And, you know, referring to Moses' writings whereas, 10:31 you know, describing that Adam was made on the sixth day. 10:34 But then in Moses' writings it continues on 10:36 and says that God ended His work 10:40 and that He rested and He blessed the seventh day 10:45 and He sanctified it. 10:46 And the word sanctified means that He set it apart for man. 10:51 And again, it wasn't a Jewish day. 10:54 And so, you know, we have the Islamic belief 10:58 that Moses' writings are pure. 11:00 And yet in these writings, 11:02 we have the seventh day being the day 11:07 that God set apart for humanity. 11:12 And He did that 11:13 before there was ever sin on earth. 11:16 No Jews and no sin? 11:17 No Jews and no sin, and nobody except Adam, 11:22 and later on Eve, when God made Eve from his rib. 11:26 But this was an act, 11:29 that God was basically blessing this day 11:32 as a remembrance of creation, 11:35 and as a day that man needed to have rest one day. 11:40 And, in fact, when we're talking about rest, 11:42 Muslim communities believe 11:46 that Christians and Jews are in error 11:49 when they say God needed to rest. 11:50 They say God doesn't get tired, why would He need to rest? 11:54 In fact, there is a verse in the Quran, 11:55 if you don't mind I'll read that really quickly. 11:57 Sure. 11:58 This is from Quran, 12:04 Surah 50:38, 12:06 it reads, "And we did certainly 12:08 create the heavens and the earth, 12:11 and what is between them in six days, 12:14 and there touched us no weariness." 12:17 Allah is speaking here in the form of we and us, 12:20 but He's speaking alone. 12:22 But He's saying that, 12:23 "I didn't get tired when I created the world." 12:26 Basically, this is to refute, 12:31 or stand against that text in the Bible 12:34 in Genesis Chapter 2, 12:35 where it says God rested. 12:37 But what they misunderstand is that 12:40 God didn't need to rest. 12:41 He did that to be an example to humanity, 12:45 that we need to rest. 12:47 God made us. 12:48 We're not perfect like in the sense that He is. 12:51 So He made a day of rest for Adam and Eve, 12:53 even in perfection. 12:54 They had to have a day of rest. 12:56 Six days, they were to work, one day, they had to have rest. 12:59 And so they pick on this, 13:05 but they don't come to the conclusion 13:06 and understand that 13:08 the Bible is not saying that God was weary or tired. 13:10 Right. 13:11 There's another verse in Isaiah that says He fainteth not, 13:13 nor He's weary and so. 13:15 That's right. 13:16 And it doesn't really say in Genesis Chapter 2, 13:19 that He was tired, and that's why He rested. 13:22 It says that He did rest on this, 13:25 and He blessed the seventh day 13:27 and He sanctified it, 13:28 meaning that He set it apart for man. 13:29 That's right. 13:31 So you're saying that He did that, 13:33 not because He was worn out, 13:34 but because He was establishing a day 13:38 for humanity? 13:39 That's right. 13:41 It's like a gardener who plants a beautiful garden. 13:43 He's not weary or tired, and he has worked. 13:46 And then he sits on a couch 13:48 and just looks at the work of his hand. 13:51 Basically, God rested from working. 13:56 He paused from His work of creation He paused. 14:00 And that pause, in Hebrew is referred to as rest. 14:05 But it doesn't mean that He was tired. 14:08 In Mark 2:27, Jesus said, 14:11 "'The Sabbath was made for man." 14:14 So that shows that the reason why God rested was 14:16 because He was setting that day apart for man. 14:19 That's right. He rested. 14:21 He made that day for man. 14:25 So I guess, you know, the question would be, 14:27 well, why would He change it later on? 14:29 Why would He change it either, 14:31 you know, a lot of Christians believe 14:32 He changed it to Sunday, 14:34 in honor of the resurrection. 14:36 Although if you really look at Matthew, 14:38 Mark, Luke and John, and beyond that, 14:42 the writings of Paul, there really is no evidence 14:45 in the New Testament, 14:46 that the resurrection of Jesus on Sunday, 14:50 which was also called the first day of the week, 14:52 that changed the day. 14:55 In fact, if you really look closer at Matthew, 14:57 Mark, Luke and John, 15:00 there's no statement of Jesus at all, 15:05 even one time where the words the first day of the week 15:09 came out of His mouth. 15:10 He said nothing about the first day of the week, 15:12 He taught nothing about the first day of the week. 15:15 And in Matthew 28:19-20, 15:18 He told His disciples to go into all the world, 15:21 and to preach the gospel, the good news, 15:24 and then to teach all things 15:27 whatsoever I have commanded you. 15:30 And then He said, "Lo, I'm with you always, 15:32 even to the end of the world." 15:33 And to me, 15:35 that's a very compelling argument, 15:37 that Jesus gave His disciples authority to teach 15:40 only what He taught. 15:41 And He didn't teach anything about Sunday. 15:44 Yes, He did rise on Sunday, 15:46 which was the first day of the week, 15:48 and then He went back to His work of ministry, 15:51 but He didn't teach anything about it. 15:54 So why would God change that day 16:00 way down the line from creation? 16:04 It just, you know, it really doesn't make sense 16:06 if you go back to the original creation. 16:09 It was an original day that He blessed 16:12 and sanctified and set apart for holy use. 16:16 In fact, in the Christian world, 16:19 they have no premise for keeping different day 16:22 than what God in the Bible has already told us 16:25 we should keep, 16:26 which is the seventh day of the week, Saturday. 16:29 We can say that the Muslims at least have some premise 16:32 because they have a book and in their book, 16:33 they're instructed to do this. 16:35 But if you want to look at the continuity of Scripture, 16:38 and of the sacred text, 16:41 that if God is the author of this book, 16:45 then, and He says in Psalms, He says, 16:47 "I'm the Lord, I change not." 16:49 God doesn't make mistakes, 16:51 He doesn't make a decision now 16:53 and then an hour later say, 16:55 "You know what, I made a mistake, 16:56 I shouldn't have made that decision. 16:58 I really messed up." 16:59 God doesn't do that. 17:01 He doesn't change His mind. 17:03 When He established the Sabbath, 17:05 it remains the same. 17:07 In New Testament Christ kept the Sabbath, 17:09 the apostles kept the Sabbath. 17:11 Paul in Acts Chapter 13 keeps the Sabbath 17:15 even with the Greeks, 17:18 the non-Jews, the Gentiles. 17:22 And even John in the last book of the Bible, 17:25 says that he was in the spirit on the Lord's Day, 17:27 which Jesus, in Mark Chapter 2 says that, 17:29 "I am the Lord of the Sabbath." 17:32 And we see that continuity throughout the Scripture. 17:35 And then when we come, in the seventh century, 17:37 when we come to Muhammad, 17:39 suddenly, different revelation is given, 17:42 and that continuity is broken, at least for the Muslims, 17:46 and which is pretty sad, 17:49 because there's a true blessing in keeping the Sabbath of God. 17:53 Now, in Islam, you've told me that 17:56 there's five major prophets, right? 17:58 There are other prophets, 17:59 but the major ones are Adam, right? 18:02 And then Abraham, and then Moses, 18:05 and then Jesus, and then Muhammad. 18:07 That's correct. 18:08 And we know that, you know, Adam was made on the sixth day, 18:12 God rested on the seventh day. 18:14 So Adam would be a Sabbath keeper, 18:16 because He made that day in the beginning for man. 18:20 Abraham, there's really not much information 18:21 about what day he kept. 18:24 And then when you get to Moses, 18:25 it's very clear in Moses' writings 18:29 in Genesis and in the Ten Commandments, 18:31 remember the seventh day, keep that day holy. 18:34 When you look at Jesus, clearly, in Matthew, 18:37 Mark, Luke, and John, 18:38 Jesus was a Sabbath keeper. 18:40 He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath in Luke 4:16, 18:44 He taught about the Sabbath, He said, 18:46 "Pray that your flight be not in winter, 18:47 or on the Sabbath," in Matthew 24:20. 18:51 He said the Sabbath was made for man in Mark 2:27. 18:54 And then when you get to Muhammad, 18:56 and you know, a revelation to keep Friday, 19:00 this would be out of sync 19:04 with the first four apparent 19:07 major prophets in Islam, 19:10 and it's kind of a disconnect, like, why would God do that? 19:14 Why would He establish one day at the beginning? 19:17 Why did He reemphasize it through Moses? 19:19 Why did Jesus keep it? 19:22 And then yet He would then give instruction 19:24 to Muhammad to change it? 19:26 Why invest all of that time and energy 19:29 in teaching something for centuries, 19:32 thousands of years, 19:34 to only change it in the seventh century 19:37 AD and replace it with another day? 19:40 And that's an argument that goes not just to the Muslims, 19:44 but even to Sunday keeping Christians. 19:47 That's right. 19:48 And here's another verse 19:50 in Exodus 31:18, 19:55 that describes when God gave the Ten Commandments. 19:59 31:18 says, "He gave to Moses, 20:02 when He had made an end of communing 20:03 with him upon Mount Sinai, 20:05 two tables of testimony, 20:06 tables of stone, 20:08 written with the finger of God." 20:11 And there's two things that make the Ten Commandments 20:13 unique of all other laws. 20:16 One is, they were written with the finger of God. 20:19 And they were written on stone, a solid rock. 20:22 And when you think of God's finger on rock, 20:25 I mean, the message is that 20:28 this is an unchangeable commandment. 20:31 It's on solid stone. 20:32 It's like, there's a phrase where people say, 20:35 we can change this or that 20:36 because it's not written in stone. 20:38 Yes. 20:39 And that goes back to Moses, and back to God, 20:41 back to the Ten Commandments. 20:44 So now we live in a time 20:45 where the majority of Muslims keep Friday, 20:50 the majority of Christians keep Sunday. 20:53 And a lot of the opposition to Saturday is really 20:56 because of opposition against Jews. 21:00 But when you peel away, 21:01 you know, the layers 21:03 and look at the real Bible Sabbath, 21:05 it's not a Jewish day at all. 21:08 No, it's not. 21:09 It's God's day, He calls it My Holy Day 21:13 in Isaiah 58:13. 21:15 He specifies that's the Sabbath day. 21:17 And Moses didn't come up with that on his own, 21:20 Aaron didn't come up with that on his own, 21:22 God gave them the Sabbath. 21:24 It was a special gift God gave to Adam, 21:27 and it just went hand in hand until Moses. 21:30 When Moses took the responsibility 21:32 of being the prophet and leading Israel from Egypt, 21:37 he inherited what was already revealed 21:40 in the Word of God to Adam, 21:43 and to other men before him, the patriarchs like Abraham. 21:46 Right. 21:47 Now, you shared with us a few programs ago, 21:51 your story, your journey, my journey to peace. 21:54 And there's a lot that I know about your background. 21:57 I don't know that much, but I know some, 22:00 more than what you've shared here. 22:01 And you've told me that you did have, 22:04 was it a dream or a vision, 22:06 specifically about the Sabbath? 22:08 Tell us a little more about that background? 22:10 Yeah. 22:11 At the time, I was actually attending a Sunday church. 22:15 And I didn't know anything about the Sabbath. 22:18 And there was a man, a literature evangelist, 22:23 who sold books that visited this particular 22:26 church one Sunday. 22:29 And at that time, I was seeking to find out what is truth, 22:32 I had just become a Christian. 22:35 That was maybe about six months 22:37 after I had met that man on the road 22:40 in a main street in Walnut Creek, 22:42 that young man who led me to Christ. 22:44 About six months later, sitting in this Sunday church, 22:47 because for a few months, I've been going there, 22:50 but I was not really learning much. 22:53 And I was seeking for truth. 22:56 And at one point, I asked the Lord, I said, 22:59 "Where am I supposed to go? 23:00 I just came out of Islam 23:02 and all these Christian churches, 23:04 I don't know where I'm supposed to go." 23:05 Yeah, confusing. It's confusing. 23:06 It's very confusing, 23:08 people looking for which is the right church. 23:09 It was confusing for me, extremely. 23:11 And then at that moment, this man came, 23:14 a couple of weeks later, 23:16 and he got my name and all that, 23:18 he came to my home 23:19 and he told me about the Sabbath. 23:21 And he was a Seventh-day Adventist. 23:24 And I said, "The Sabbath, what do you mean?" 23:27 And I said, "Wait a minute. 23:29 I used to keep Friday, 23:30 and now I'm keeping Sunday and you're telling me 23:33 I'm supposed to keep another day?" 23:35 But what he said made sense. 23:37 Like a ping pong ball. 23:38 Yeah, like a ping pong ball. Friday, Sunday. 23:41 Yeah, it was just amazing. 23:44 And I prayed about it, I said, "Lord, if this man is from You, 23:47 You make it clear because I'm brand new, 23:49 I don't even know." 23:50 And then at that point, 23:52 there was an evangelist that came to town, 23:53 we Bible studied and all that. 23:55 And I went to the Lord for a final time, 23:57 I said, " Lord," 23:58 and I said, I prayed in my heart, 24:00 Satan cannot read our minds. 24:01 Only God can read our mind. 24:03 And I always pray in my heart, I don't pray out loud. 24:06 And I prayed in my heart, I said, "Father, show me. 24:11 If Saturday is Your day, please make it clear. 24:14 Give me a dream. 24:15 Show me my dream, 24:17 because I'm really confused at this point, 24:18 and I don't know what I'm supposed to do." 24:21 And He gave me a dream that night. 24:22 And in my dream, it was a Sabbath. 24:25 And it was brighter than any other day of the week. 24:28 You know how in the Quran says 24:29 that the sunrises brighter on Friday? 24:32 Well, in my dream, it was Saturday, 24:34 and it was bright, 24:36 brighter than any day of the week. 24:37 And I was led into this church, and in this church, 24:43 it was a Seventh-day Adventist Church. 24:45 And there I was shown the Bible. 24:47 And I was shown the writings of God 24:50 in the Bible and all that. 24:52 And it was revealed to me 24:54 in a very, very, very clear way. 24:58 Everything that's truth was in an instant given to me. 25:01 When I woke up, the only thing I didn't remember was that, 25:04 everything else I remember about a dream. 25:06 And God revealed to me in my dream 25:08 that the seventh day Sabbath is His Sabbath, 25:12 and that it is a day that He has made for men, 25:16 not for Himself, but He made it for us. 25:19 And we are supposed to keep it. 25:21 And when I woke up, I rejoiced, 25:22 because I promised Lord that if You show me 25:25 I will forever serve You. 25:26 And He showed me just like, really quickly, 25:28 just like this young man that I told you, 25:30 that I baptized, that he had a problem 25:32 about keeping coming to church. 25:34 When he had that dream. 25:36 In his dream, Jesus told him, 25:37 He said that, "You need to go to church. 25:39 The Sabbath is the most important day 25:41 of the week. 25:42 You need to be in church." 25:44 And that was a wonderful mighty experience. 25:47 So you keep the Sabbath today? 25:48 Yes, I do. 25:49 Not because you're Jewish, which you're not. 25:51 No, I'm not. 25:52 And you believe in Jesus, 25:54 but you don't keep Sunday as a holy day 25:56 because you don't see that in the New Testament? 25:58 Nowhere. 26:00 And you no longer, did you use to go to the mosque on Friday? 26:03 You did, you used to do that? 26:04 Yes, my parents. 26:07 And now you keep the seventh day Sabbath. 26:09 And you've lined up 26:14 with what the fourth commandment 26:17 really says. 26:19 And again, I think we should stress that, 26:21 as you've mentioned, in Islam, 26:23 there is a high regard for the writings of Moses, 26:29 and that they are considered to be pure. 26:31 And when we read the writings of Moses, 26:33 and look at Exodus Chapter 20, 26:36 we have commandment number four, 26:39 where God said, 26:40 "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. 26:45 Six days you shall labor and do all your work. 26:49 But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord." 26:52 It's not the Sabbath of the Jews. 26:53 "It's the Sabbath of the Lord, your God. 26:56 In it, you shall not do any work, 26:58 you or your son, or your daughter 26:59 or your manservant, nor your maidservant, 27:02 nor your cattle, nor your stranger 27:04 that is within your gates. 27:06 For in six days, 27:08 the Lord made heaven and earth, 27:12 the sea, and all that in them is." 27:15 Everything we see around us, 27:18 God made in six days. 27:19 And then He rested, not because He was tired, 27:21 but He was setting this day apart for man. 27:25 "He rested on the seventh day, 27:27 wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, 27:30 and He hallowed it." 27:32 My birthday is April 5, I was born in 1959. 27:35 Every year, it's April 5, because you can't change it. 27:38 The Sabbath is the birthday of the world. 27:40 It's still there, it can't be changed. 27:43 And God tells us don't forget it. 27:48 We hope you enjoyed watching Good News for Muslims 27:50 with Steve Wohlberg and Shahbaz. 27:53 This entire 13-part series is now available on DVD. 27:57 To order from within the US, 27:59 call White Horse Media at 1-800-782-4253. 28:04 To watch the series online or for more information, 28:07 visit the website www.goodnewsformuslims.com |
