00:30 Hello, everyone.
00:32 Two men were arguing at work about religion one day. 00:37 Of course neither really knew what they were talking about. 00:40 But finally one of them said, man, 00:42 you don't know anything about religion. 00:44 I'll bet you $10 you can't even repeat the Lord's Prayer. 00:48 Replied the other, oh, yeah, it's a bet. 00:50 And he began to recite, I pledge a legions to the flag 00:53 of the United States of America one nation under God, 00:57 indivisible with liberty and justice for all, amen. 01:01 The first man looked absolutely stunned and hesaid, 01:04 I didn't think you could do it. 01:05 Here's your 10 bucks. 01:10 Well, we smile but unfortunately 01:13 this story illustrates just how little people today 01:16 really know about God's word. 01:19 But tonight, we're going to dig up some deeply buried 01:23 long forgotten gems from the mine of God's truth. 01:28 Please don't be surprised or embarrassed 01:30 if God's word kind of undresses us, 01:35 reveal certain popular religious fallacies 01:38 that many of us may have believed 01:39 without thinking this is true. 01:41 But, you know, if the Bible 01:42 does reveal error in our thinking 01:44 we have to thank God, shouldn't we? 01:46 Amen. 01:47 We discovered last night, that the scientific world 01:52 is challenged today like never before 01:54 with its theory of evolution, 01:55 first proclaim by Charles Darwin 01:57 back in the year 1844 02:00 which is interesting that happens 02:01 if the end of the 490 year prophecy we talked about. 02:05 But scholars are now writing books which contest 02:10 and dispute present thinking about macroevolution. 02:14 Tonight right now the Hubble Spacecraft up there 02:17 is exploding theories of evolution right and left 02:20 about the origin of the stars. 02:22 In fact, I get the Los Angeles Times 02:24 and I read an article not too long ago 02:26 that was just absolutely devastating to evolution. 02:31 In fact, one of the foremost new thinkers for evolution, 02:35 Phillip Johnson recently wrote to provocative book called 02:38 The Wedge of Truth. 02:40 Where he indicates that there suddenly seems to be 02:43 renewed interest among scientist in the ID, 02:46 the intelligent design theory. 02:49 He says, the more we reach out into space the more we see 02:52 evidence of a designer at work in making the universe. 02:57 I have a lot of medical friends considered going to 03:00 medical school myself at school one time, 03:02 but doctors would tell you who were studying anatomy 03:05 for any part of the human body. 03:08 They admit that the eye or the ear 03:11 or the kidneys or the heart 03:13 just could not possibly how happened by chance. 03:17 Well, now if there is design, there has to be a designer. 03:22 Amen. 03:23 But if God created all of these things, 03:27 then how come He's so completely 03:30 forgotten by today's generation? 03:34 Tonight, I want us to take our Bibles 03:35 and discover some answers. 03:38 Billy Graham stated that God's last 03:42 prophetic message to this world 03:44 is found in the 14th chapter of the Book of Revelation, 03:48 where we find an angel flies in the midst of heaven 03:52 loudly proclaiming the final warning 03:54 message of prophecy to all the world. 03:56 In Revelation 14:17, it's says, 03:58 "Fear God and give glory to Him, 04:01 for the hour of His judgment has come, and worship Him 04:06 who made the earth, the heavens, 04:08 the seas and the springs of water." 04:12 Worship Him, because ladies and gentlemen, 04:16 worship is the central issue 04:18 in the entire great controversy. 04:21 Worship Him because at the very end of time when it's all over 04:25 and everything finally boils down to one issue, 04:28 the question is going to be, who are we going to worship? 04:32 And the last warning message here is not about Armageddon. 04:36 It's not about 666, it's not about left behind, 04:40 it's about Jesus and it's about worship. 04:43 Amen. 04:45 You see before Jesus comes, 04:47 God's final SOS prophetic judgment 04:50 call from heaven is to worship Him. 04:54 He says, I have authority to judge 04:56 because I am Creator. 05:00 And I think it's very, very interesting 05:03 it's precisely when evolution is now teaching 05:06 that we are just the result of chance. 05:10 And the beast power of Revelation 13 says, 05:12 Oh, come and follow me and accept my mark. 05:15 Forget the seal the of the Creator. 05:18 At this very time God calls every one on planet earth 05:22 to remember to worship the Creator and His sign. 05:28 Perhaps you're saying but, Lonnie, 05:31 how do I know what the sign of creation is? 05:34 Well, let's take a look at some of the evidence 05:36 tonight found way back there 05:37 and the very first chapter of the Book of Genesis. 05:40 In fact, last night we discovered 05:42 the very first thing the Bible tells us 05:44 Genesis 1:1 is, 05:46 "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." 05:53 God designed this world. 05:56 By the way the entire trinity was there. 05:59 You understand what I say, when I say trinity? 06:01 Most Christians would understand that. 06:03 The God the Father was there, Genesis 1:1 says. 06:08 And then Genesis 1:2 says, "And the Spirit of God 06:12 was hovering over the waters-- the face of the waters." 06:15 The spirit that's the third member of the godhead 06:17 but we found out that Jesus was involved too. 06:20 Many texts of scripture, John 1:3 says. 06:23 "All things were made through Him, 06:26 " through Jesus "and without Him 06:28 nothing was made that was made." 06:31 Paul tells us in Ephesians 3:9, that Jesus is the one 06:34 who put the finishing brush strokes on the canvas. 06:39 God created all things through Jesus Christ. 06:42 Amen. 06:43 But Genesis tells us how they did this. 06:47 I want us to review because this has something 06:48 very important to do with the final 06:51 Armageddon issue of worship. 06:53 In Genesis 1:3 let's review quickly, 06:56 it tells us about day one of creation. 06:58 There it says, "Then God said, 'Let there be,'" what? 07:01 "'Light,' and there was light." 07:04 We move down to Genesis 1:6, day number 2, "Then God said, 07:08 'Let there be a firmament in the midst of the heavens' 07:12 to divide the waters from the waters." 07:15 We would say that's our ocean, that's our atmosphere, 07:19 water above, water beneath. 07:21 We go on to Genesis 1:9,10, day number three. 07:25 It says, 'Then "God said, 07:27 well, 'Let the waters under the heavens 07:29 be gathered together in one place, 07:31 and let the dry land appear' and it was so. 07:34 And God called the dry land earth, 07:36 and the gathering together waters He called Seas 07:39 and God saw that it was good." 07:42 I want you to notice what God did with the dry land. 07:45 Genesis 1:11 says, "Then God said, 07:49 'Let the earth bring forth grass, 07:51 the herb that yields seed, 07:53 and fruit tree that yields fruit 07:55 according to its kind, whose seed is in itself 07:58 and on the earth,' and it was so." 08:00 What day was this? 08:01 Genesis 1:13 says, so the evening 08:03 and the morning were the third day. 08:07 On the fourth day, "God went back 08:09 to kind of rearrange and make permanent light." 08:13 Genesis 1:14 says, "Then God said, 08:15 'Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens 08:19 to divide the day from the night.' 08:21 " Well, we would say of course that's the sun, 08:23 that's the moon. 08:24 In fact Genesis 1:16 says, 08:26 "Then God made two great lights, 08:29 the greater light to rule the day 08:31 and the lesser light to rule the night." 08:33 And then parenthetically the writer of Genesis-- 08:35 Oh, by the way, He made the stars also. 08:39 Amen. 08:40 And then Genesis 1:19 says, 08:41 "So the evening and the morning were the fourth day." 08:45 On day five, God now turns His attention 08:49 to the sea and to the air. 08:51 Genesis 1:20,21, 23, says, "Then God said, 08:56 'Let the waters abound 08:58 with an abundance of living creatures, 09:01 and let birds fly above the earth 09:02 across the face of the firmament of the heavens.' 09:04 So God created great sea creatures 09:07 and every living thing that moves, 09:09 with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, 09:12 and every winged bird according to its kind. 09:14 And God saw that it was good. 09:17 So the evening and the morning were the fifth day." 09:21 Each day God's unfathomable artistry created 09:25 whole ecosystems step by step. 09:30 Do you know, folks, God did not create this magnificent world 09:33 simply for the birds and the fish. 09:35 He created it, the Bible says, to be inhabitant. 09:39 So on the sixth day God said in verses 24 and 25. 09:44 "Let the earth now bring forth the living creature 09:47 according to its kind cattle and creeping things 09:50 and beast of the earth, each according to its kind. 09:53 And God so that it was good." 09:57 But now comes the movement God has been waiting for, 10:01 the movement of truth as we'd say. 10:03 His crowning act, human beings. 10:07 Genesis 1:26, "Then God said, 'Let us make man in our image, 10:14 according to our likeness, let them have dominion 10:17 over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, 10:19 and over the cattle, and over the earth 10:21 and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." 10:24 Can you see the divine Creator 10:27 stooping down there perhaps in little mud, 10:30 starting to do a little sand castle work, 10:33 trying to arrange some of the, and maybe He makes something 10:36 that looks like he's got five legs. 10:38 No, that's not gonna do, let's take off three, you know. 10:41 Let's make him a biped, two and He forms handsome Adam. 10:48 And like some women have said, then God said, 10:50 well, I think I can do better than that. 10:54 Let's do Eve, more gorgeous than ever, perfect. 10:59 Notice verses 28 and 31. 11:01 "Then God blessed them and God said to them, 11:04 'Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. 11:07 Then God saw everything that He had made, 11:10 and indeed it was very good. 11:12 And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.' 11:16 " Folks, this was not Steven Spielberg's 11:18 Hollywood science fiction 11:20 that was putting all these together. 11:21 This was the real thing absolutely awesome. 11:26 The question is, how did He do it so quickly? 11:29 Well, the Bible gives an answer and by the way this is why, 11:33 we talked about the subject last night creation, 11:37 leads us to get down on our knees and worship Him. 11:41 Amen. 11:42 Psalm 33:8-9 says, 11:44 "Let all the earth fear the Lord, 11:46 " or reverence Him, 11:47 "let all the inhabitants of the world 11:49 stand in awe of Him. 11:51 For He spoke, and it was done. 11:55 He commanded, and it stood fast." 11:58 Back to Genesis 2:1 it says, 12:01 'Thus the heavens and the earth, 12:03 and all the host of them, were finished." 12:05 In six literal days, 12:09 our Creator brought into being shrubs, 12:12 flowers, streams, sunshine, glorious sunsets 12:15 and magnificent moon to enjoy the night. 12:18 Fish that would-- I believe that if we see something at 12:21 Disney World and at SeaWorld and some of these aquariums, 12:26 Marine Land. 12:27 You know, I believe that Adam and Eve 12:29 could have called those fish. 12:30 They probably called the birds of the air, 12:31 they had them do trick for them. 12:33 I mean, if we could do 12:34 and thing what they could have done. 12:37 But best of all God created two perfect people with whom 12:40 He could fellowship and walk and talk 12:42 within the cool of the evening. 12:43 Amen. 12:44 Oh, but God wasn't finished yet. 12:47 I want you to notice He had one more crowning delight 12:50 that He wanted to create. 12:52 Genesis 2:2,3. 12:56 "And on the seventh day 12:58 God ended His work which He had done 13:01 and He rested on the seventh day 13:03 from all of His work which He had done. 13:05 Then God blessed the seventh day 13:08 and sanctified it, because in it 13:10 He rested from all of His word 13:12 which God had created and made." 13:15 Now, folks, this was something unique. 13:17 This was something stunning, extraordinarily profound. 13:22 God created and made and blessed a day. 13:29 I mean, this was something different from anything else. 13:32 God did something unique for this day. 13:34 It says, He sanctified it, the seventh day, 13:38 that would mean He actually put some of His divinity, 13:42 His holiness into that 24 hour period of time and the angels 13:46 must have been absolutely amazed and stunned. 13:48 Wow, God didn't make holy some thing like a building 13:53 or a monument or pagoda He created a palace in time, 14:00 24 hours, holy, like God is holy. 14:04 And the Bible says, He set that aside for a holy use. 14:08 He did not do that for Sunday or Monday 14:10 or Tuesday or any day. 14:12 This was different from all the other days. 14:14 He set aside one day as holy dedicated totally to Him. 14:20 It says, God blessed the seventh day 14:22 and sanctified it. 14:24 By the way I have a question for you. 14:26 When God blesses something, how long is it blessed? 14:29 Forever. That's right. 14:31 First Chronicles 17:27 says, 14:34 "You have blessed, O Lord, and it is blessed forever." 14:38 Amen. 14:39 But then God did something else. 14:43 He went to brand newly weds Adam and Eve, 14:47 and He gave this time to Adam and Eve 14:50 as His personal forever wedding present. 14:55 Jesus said in Mark 2:27, 14:57 "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath." 15:03 Well, someone says, I think I know 15:06 where you're going with this, but you really think, Lonnie, 15:09 it makes a difference which day it is. 15:11 I mean one day and seven, what's the difference? 15:15 Well, by the way, ladies and gentlemen, 15:16 if we're gonna take this is as a popularity contest 15:19 which day of the week 15:20 should we probably keep holy, everybody? 15:24 If it's a popularity contest? Not Sunday. 15:29 Now we learned in Iraq there that there are some people 15:31 who keep Wednesday. 15:32 But did you know that the day 15:33 that we probably should all keep it, 15:35 if its popularity contest is Friday. 15:38 Because one quarter of the world is Muslim, 15:42 they keep Friday as their holy day. 15:43 So my question again, does it make a difference? 15:46 Well, anyone in the seven, do. 15:50 You, young gentleman, here that aren't married 15:52 yet, I'm looking at that row back in there, okay. 15:56 You, sir, okay. 15:58 Suppose it's your wedding day, okay, 16:01 but your fiancée happens to have six more sisters 16:06 and they're all look-alikes, in fact they are septuplets, 16:10 identical, it's your wedding day. 16:13 Now you selected one, you set her aside, 16:16 you quartered her, you got to know her, 16:18 through the wedding service, you sanctified her, 16:20 consecrated in holy matrimony. 16:23 Well, after the ceremony 16:24 you're visiting the guests at the reception there 16:26 and now you're ready to go off on your honeymoon 16:28 and so you say to a little fellow there, 16:30 that's taking care of the car door 16:31 and you say, hey, would you run and get my wife? 16:33 Little kid says, I can't tell which one she is, 16:36 I don't know, she looks like all the others. 16:38 Why you say it doesn't matter, anyone on the seven will do. 16:43 Will that work? No. 16:45 Come on, folks, does it make a difference? 16:47 Yes, it makes a difference. 16:49 You see God took one common ordinary day of the seven, 16:54 He chose it, He sanctified it, He said it apart, 16:57 He dedicated to Himself, He blessed it, He hallowed it, 17:01 not any day but the seventh day. 17:04 Amen. 17:05 And He said remember this day 17:07 because in those other six days I created. 17:11 Now, folks, listen you could worship 17:13 any day of the week you want. 17:15 You can worship every day. 17:17 But one the seventh day God says, 17:19 you honor Me, as Creator. 17:24 Now I have another question for you. 17:25 I don't see the young man here in front tonight. 17:27 Well, I'm gonna ask, you folks right here. 17:30 If God created the world in three days, 17:33 which day would be the Sabbath? 17:36 Come on, the fourth. 17:38 If God created the world in four days, 17:41 which day would be the Sabbath? 17:42 The fifth. 17:43 If He created in five days, which day is the Sabbath? 17:46 The only day that cannot be the Sabbath is the first day. 17:51 You see. 17:53 And did you know that if the Taliban and if Al Qaeda 17:58 and if Saddam Hussein had kept the Sabbath 18:00 there wouldn't be any terrorism attacks, 18:03 there would be no infidels on this planet, 18:05 no skeptics and no crime. 18:07 Because we'd all be reminded each week of our roots 18:13 and our relationship to the Creator, 18:15 that we were created for something better. 18:19 Amen. 18:20 I want you to look at me 18:22 with what happened back in the Book of Genesis. 18:25 The sad story there in Genesis 2 and 3, 4. 18:30 As sin increased on this planet, 18:33 humans forgot about our Creator 18:37 and when we forgot about our creator, 18:38 we forgot about the Sabbath. 18:40 In fact we forgot our roots, 18:42 we forgot where we even came from 18:43 and why we're here. 18:45 Forgot how we shouldn't live, completely forgot about God. 18:49 The Bible says, we began to worship idols 18:50 and tramping off after all sorts of other Gods. 18:53 In fact when you look at the record, 18:54 it's interesting, 18:55 every time God's people forgot the Sabbath, 18:59 it resulted in two things. 19:01 They went right into captivity 19:04 and they also lost the prophetic gift of prophecy. 19:08 Interesting. 19:09 In fact, back at the time of Moses, 19:12 the Book of Exodus says, 19:13 that they had so completely forgotten 19:15 which day was the Sabbath, 19:17 that when God pulled them out of Exodus 19:19 there out of the Sinai-- after the Sinai 19:22 wilderness from Egypt there at Mount Sinai, 19:24 God provided three miracles to help them 19:28 get back to worshiping Him as Creator 19:31 and keeping holy His Sabbath. 19:34 Bible is very clear about this. 19:35 In fact, first miracle God provided some miracle food 19:41 which was called manna. 19:42 You look at your Bible and you get home 19:44 and the King of James look in the margin 19:45 and it will have a marginal reference, 19:47 that word manna really means, what is it? 19:52 They came out and they saw this 19:53 stuff on the ground, what is it? 19:55 And so they named it, what is it? 19:57 Manna. 19:59 And that rain down every day for 40 years. 20:03 Exodus 16:4 says, "Then the Lord said to Moses, 20:06 'Behold I will rain bread from heaven for you. 20:09 And the people shall go out and gather a certain quota 20:12 every day, that I may test them, 20:14 whether they will walk in My law or not.' 20:17 '' Manna every day, six days a week, fresh, perfect. 20:21 Bible says, it was round like coriander seed, 20:25 sweet as honey, perfect food, they can cook it, bake it, 20:29 whatever they want it, eat it raw. 20:31 But then a second miracle, Exodus 16:5,6" 20:37 And it shall be that on the sixth day 20:41 they shall prepare what they bring in, 20:42 and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily. 20:46 Then Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, 20:49 'At evening you shall know that the Lord has brought you 20:52 out of the land of Egypt.' 20:54 " So each day miracle Manna enough just for that day. 20:59 But now notice what happened on the sixth day, 21:01 they get twice as much manna. 21:03 Miracle two, Exodus 16:21-23. 21:07 "So they gathered it every morning, 21:09 every man according to his need. 21:11 And when the sun came hot, it came hot, it melted." 21:15 That's an interesting miracle. 21:16 Let it go out early enough in the morning to make sure 21:18 they get up and time to get the manna 21:19 or else it just disappeared. 21:22 And if they hoarded too much 21:23 and they try to keep it over to the next day, 21:24 what happened to that manna? 21:27 It bread worms and stack. So you couldn't be a pig. 21:31 You have to go out every day and trust God, faith every day. 21:35 We take a step at a time every day, right? 21:37 Good spiritual lesson. 21:38 And it says, "So it was on the sixth day, 21:40 that they gathered twice as much bread, 21:43 two omers for each one. 21:45 And all the rulers of the congregation, 21:47 it says came and told Moses. 21:49 And then he said to them, 21:52 'This is what the Lord has said, 21:53 ''Tomorrow is a Sabbath rest, a holy Sabbath to the Lord. 21:58 So bake what you'll bake today Friday the sixth day, 22:02 boil what you will boil, and lay up for yourselves 22:05 all that remains, to be kept until morning.' 22:10 " When miracle number 3 took place. 22:12 Wow, it didn't breed worms. 22:17 Miracle, it was fresher than ever. 22:19 You see when you keep God's Sabbath 22:21 things happen, miracles happen. 22:23 Amen. Amen. 22:24 Exodus 16:25, 26 22:27 "Then Moses said, 'Eat that today, 22:30 today is the Sabbath for the Lord, 22:32 today you will not find it out in the field. 22:34 Sixth day you shall gather it, but on the seventh day, 22:37 the Sabbath, there will be none.' 22:40 " And presto, I mean, without refrigerators 22:42 that manna was miraculously preserved on Sabbath. 22:47 But I want you to notice what happened. 22:50 Some people always know a little better than God. 22:53 They certainly knew better than Moses, they'd learned, 22:55 they've gone out early in the morning 22:56 and they have got too much or they didn't get enough 22:59 and we're gonna keep an extra manna around on for Sabbath. 23:02 It says, someone out on the Sabbath to gather manna, 23:06 and they had their cooking and frying utensils 23:09 and they're baking utensils, 23:10 they were intentionally disobeying God you see. 23:13 Notice Exodus 16; 28-30. 23:16 "And the Lord said to Moses, 'How long do you refuse 23:19 to keep My commandments and My laws? 23:20 See! 23:22 The Lord has given you the Sabbath, 23:24 therefore He gives you on the sixth day 23:26 bread for two days. 23:27 Let every man remain in his place, 23:30 let no man go out of his place on the seventh day." 23:33 So they finally caught on. 23:36 "And it says, the people rested on the seventh day.' 23:40 ' Now later on when they finally got to Mount Sinai 23:45 so that they wouldn't ever forget again 23:47 God chiseled back in stone with His own finger 23:51 and He made a special forever promise in Exodus 20:8-11. 23:55 He said, I want you to "Remember 23:58 the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 24:00 Six days you shall labor, do all of your work, 24:02 but the seventh day is the Sabbath" of the Jews. 24:08 Does say that, does it? 24:09 Whose Sabbath is it? Whose day is it? 24:14 It's the "Sabbath of the Lord, your God. 24:17 In it you shall not do work, you nor your son 24:20 nor your daughter nor your male servant, 24:22 or your female servant, nor your cattle, 24:24 nor your strangers within your gates four and six days, 24:27 the Lord made the heavens and the earth, 24:30 the sea and all that is in them 24:31 and He rested on the seventh day, 24:33 therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day 24:37 and hallowed it." 24:38 By the way if you like to read the King James 24:41 and you carefully count the words 24:42 in the Ten Commandments in Exodus 20 24:45 you'll notice that the Sabbath is right in the center 24:50 or the heart of those ten precepts. 24:53 In fact, the word the Sabbath, seventh day is the Sabbath, 24:58 is the center word of the Ten Commandments. 25:01 That's because the Sabbath is God's flag, His flag. 25:07 Now every country has a flag. 25:10 We have a flag here tonight, we happened to be worldwide 25:13 but I'm gonna use the illustration 25:14 of an American flag. 25:17 Now suppose in America here, 25:20 I take an ordinary piece of red cloth 25:23 and I just dropped it right here on the platform. 25:26 Well that's all right. Nobody is gonna get up set. 25:29 Let's suppose I take an ordinary piece of white cloth 25:33 and I just dropped that right here on the platform 25:35 but I walked on it now I even trampling my shoes off here, 25:40 nobody is excited, nobody gets worried. 25:42 Let's take an ordinary piece of blue cloth down now 25:46 and I drop this down and not only walk on it, 25:50 I've bend down here, now even shine my shoes a little bit, 25:53 nothing wrong. 25:55 But now let's say that we take an ordinary piece of red, 25:58 white and blue cloth and I sew these pieces of cloth together 26:05 into the stars and stripes, all glory. 26:11 Then suppose that I drop that flag down here. 26:14 Well, it's just an ordinary piece of cloth 26:17 and I walked on it, I shine my shoes on it, 26:20 does it make a difference, ladies and gentlemen? 26:22 Yes. 26:23 Every red blooded American 26:25 would do something about it, why? 26:28 Because now that is our country's symbol, 26:31 of everything we stand for as Americans. 26:34 Amen. 26:35 Now it's just an ordinary piece of cloth 26:38 but we have made it something special. 26:42 God took an ordinary day one of seven, He blessed it, 26:47 He sanctified it, He hallowed it 26:49 and He made it His flag, His Sabbath. 26:54 A symbol of His creative power 26:57 and of our forever fellowship with Him, 26:59 a symbol of salvation, 27:01 that He's King of Kings, Lord of Lords, 27:04 God Creator of the universe is just an ordinary day? 27:08 Yes, it is. 27:10 Might not even look any different 27:13 but any day won't do, will it? 27:16 Because He made it something special forever. 27:21 Amen. 27:22 And yet, you know, what, 27:24 billions today just trample God's flag. 27:28 They care nothing about His holy Sabbath. 27:31 And, friend, I want to tell you something. 27:34 God's voice of prophecy foretold that this would happen 27:39 that God's flag would be trampled. 27:43 But it also said that in the very last days 27:45 down here where we live tonight 27:46 in the tippy-toes of Daniel 2 that big image. 27:49 The voice of prophecy speaks again 27:51 and says that God is going to raise up 27:52 a special people to restore God's flag 27:57 and fly again the ends and of His creative power. 28:01 And tonight this very voice of prophecy speaks 28:05 in this meeting fulfilling Isaiah Chapter 58. 28:10 God's prophetic Isaiah, the gospel prophet, 28:14 it says, in the very end of time 28:16 you'll see that there's a great big breach 28:19 a whole gauged out in the Ten Commandments 28:22 that the Sabbath has been literally forgotten. 28:25 But God promises and pleads in Isaiah 58, 28:28 people in Carolina or over in Australia, 28:32 South America, the Islands of the Sea, 28:35 people I want you in the last days 28:38 to get back to repair 28:40 and rebuild these old waste places. 28:43 Notice Isaiah 58:12. 28:45 You he said, "You shall raise up the foundation, 28:49 " or we could say 28:50 you're gonna raise up the flag of many generations 28:54 and you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach, 28:57 the Restorer of Paths to Dwell in." 29:01 And He says, if you do this with God's flag 29:03 I'm gonna promise you something, 29:05 verses 13:14, notice. 29:07 "If you cease to tread the Sabbath underfoot, 29:12 " know what its saying there? 29:13 If you take your foot off from My flag God says, 29:16 stop walking on it 29:18 "and keep My holy day free from your own affairs, 29:21 if you honor it, not by applying your own trade, 29:25 nor seeking your own interest 29:26 or attending to your own affairs, 29:28 then you shall find your joy in the Lord." 29:33 God promises you delight yourself in the Lord, 29:36 He'll even cause you to ride 29:37 on the high places of the earth. 29:39 Isaiah 56:7,8 "Everyone that keepeth the Sabbath 29:44 will I bring to my holy mountain, 29:46 and make them joyful in my house of prayer 29:49 for mine house shall be called 29:50 in house of prayer for all people." 29:52 Remember on the opening night we talked about Armageddon 29:55 that big mountain of God versus 29:57 this little Mountain of Megiddo. 30:00 God says I'm gonna bring you to My mountain 30:01 if you get back to God. 30:04 By the way nowhere in all of the Bible 30:05 is this seventh day ever called the Sabbath of the Jews. 30:12 Jesus made it crystal clear. 30:14 He said, "I made the Sabbath 30:16 back in the beginning for all mankind, 30:20 not man for the Sabbath." 30:23 Exodus 20:10 says, 30:24 the seventh day is the Sabbath of whom? 30:28 The Lord. 30:29 You know, that's why Jesus says, 30:31 I made the Sabbath, it's My day. 30:35 By the way when the Pharisees were criticizing Jesus 30:37 for breaking the Sabbath, at least they thought 30:39 He wasn't keeping like they thought He should. 30:41 He said, you don't tell me 30:42 how to keep the Sabbath, that's My day. 30:46 The Son of Man He said in Matthew 12:8, 30:48 "Is Lord even of the Sabbath, I made it." 30:52 And that's why Revelation 1:10 says, 30:54 "That the Sabbath is the Lord's Day." 30:58 Amen. 30:59 But now can I get very personal? 31:02 Let me tell you why this Sabbath. 31:04 Never Sunday, never Wednesday or Friday 31:06 really becomes very intimate for me. 31:09 You see it's a very special secret sign between God and me. 31:16 It's not only God's sign that He's creator 31:18 and I'm glad to worship Him as Creator 31:20 but I wasn't there when He created the world. 31:23 But it is now become another sign, the Bible says, 31:26 it's not of the sign He's creator, 31:27 it's the sign He is my redeemer 31:30 that I've been born again, recreated. 31:33 Ezekiel 20:12, 20 31:34 are some of my favorite text in the Bible. 31:37 He says, "Moreover also I gave them" 31:39 or I gave Lonnie "my Sabbaths, 31:42 to be a sign between Me and them, 31:44 that they might know that I am the Lord 31:47 that sanctifies them." 31:48 Amen. 31:49 Folks, that's why I couldn't do without the Sabbath. 31:52 It's the sign of my redemption. 31:56 Ezekiel 20:20 and he says, Lon, 31:59 hallow my Sabbath so keep them holy 32:02 and they'll be a sign between Me and you, 32:05 that you may know that I am the Lord your God. 32:09 In fact, ladies and gentlemen, 32:10 this is one of the greatest reasons 32:12 why we will be keeping Sabbath when we get to heaven. 32:18 Now you say, why on the earth 32:19 that we need a Sabbath in heaven, 32:21 will we need time off? 32:22 Will we get tired? No. 32:25 But after gazillions and gazillions of years 32:28 the Sabbath will be the only reminder 32:32 that we have of creation 32:34 and also that will be the only real reminder 32:37 we have of redemption other than the nail 32:39 prints in His hands. 32:41 And every week throughout eternity 32:44 God's forever sign will be there 32:46 that we were born again. 32:47 That we've been saved, 32:48 that we were recreated in Jesus' image. 32:52 You say, well, Lonnie, does the Bible say that? 32:55 Yes, listen, Isaiah 66:22 and 23 32:59 reminding us of His forever sign. 33:02 "For as the new heavens and the new earth, 33:05 which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, 33:08 so shall your seed and your name remain. 33:12 And it will come to pass, 33:13 that from one new moon to another, 33:15 and from one Sabbath to another, 33:16 shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord." 33:20 Amen. 33:21 Throughout eternity, we'll celebrate and honor 33:24 Jesus as Creator and as a Redeemer. 33:31 I wish we could take you to our home on a Friday night. 33:35 Jeannie and I are by ourselves there. 33:39 At sunset Friday night we have a little tradition, 33:42 we borrowed some other people who have told us about this. 33:45 We usually light candles to signify 33:49 that Sabbath has come because Leviticus 23:23 says, 33:53 that's when God's Sabbath begins 33:55 at sunset beautiful time, 33:58 not at midnight when nobody is awake, 33:59 you don't know what comes or goes. 34:01 His time is from evening to evening, sunset to sunset. 34:04 And on Friday night Jeannie always make sure 34:07 that she has a very special prayer 34:09 and she has the best of food 34:11 and Jeannie is a wonderful cook by the way. 34:14 Special music plays on our stereophonic system. 34:17 It's a very special time for Jeannie and me 34:19 and for our family for celebrating holy time. 34:22 Amen. 34:23 Now doesn't it seem reasonable that if Sabbath was celebrated 34:28 way back there before sin even came, 34:32 and if that it's going to be celebrated 34:34 when the earth is made new in heaven, 34:36 that God's people shouldn't celebrate it now? 34:40 By the way, if there's still any question about 34:43 which day to keep, you know, something, 34:47 you're always safe to follow Jesus' example. 34:50 Amen. 34:51 And Luke 4:16 says, "So He came to Nazareth, 34:56 where He had been brought up. 34:57 And, as His custom was, 34:59 He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, 35:03 and He stood up for to read." 35:04 Jesus' custom was to go to church on Sabbath. 35:07 By the way He's a perfect model, 35:11 a perfect example in all things. 35:13 You can never follow Jesus and not make it in the kingdom. 35:18 Listen, if you have a Webster's Dictionary at home, 35:20 you go home tonight, you look up the name Sabbath 35:24 and it will say this Sabbath Day 35:27 "seventh day of the week (Saturday)." 35:32 In Spanish the word is Sabado. Russian, Subato. 35:38 Many different languages same thing it means 35:40 Sabbath or rest day. 35:42 By the way the Sabbath day is to be a very, very happy day. 35:46 If I guess supposed to be the-- 35:47 the best day of the week, a day of joy, why? 35:50 Well, you know what? 35:51 Because it's a date with God and a date with our families. 35:58 We have a lot to learn from the moment, friends, 36:01 family nights, Monday nights. 36:03 Sabbath is God's family day. 36:06 God says, delight yourselves on this day and He says, 36:10 you know, if you're miserable, if you get bored, 36:13 you're not keeping the Sabbath. 36:15 You girls listening over here, 36:17 I'm gonna talk to you for a minute. 36:20 Would you girls like to go out on the date with a bored, 36:25 someone always looking his watch every few minutes 36:27 or maybe going around the corner 36:29 and talking on his cell phone, 36:31 like a-- boy, I wonder when this is gonna be over. 36:35 You know, I'm afraid that 36:36 God goes through this a lot on Sabbath. 36:39 People at church with their cell phones, 36:41 looking at the clock, dads watching football, 36:45 moms at the mall shopping, 36:47 hey, that's no good date unless you can really be together 36:52 and focus on each other and enjoy each other. 36:54 The Sabbath should be the most exciting day of our lives. 36:56 In fact, Jews look forward to the Sabbath so much 37:01 that when it finally came 37:03 they wept that they were so happy. 37:07 Some very interesting people have discovered this 37:12 and I like to share a few things-- 37:14 surprise a few of you. 37:16 Often Jeannie and I fly in the United Airlines. 37:19 I happened to be flying the particular month 37:21 when this issue of Hemisphere Magazine 37:23 was in the pouch in the passenger seat. 37:25 I pick this up myself. 37:27 I was scanning through the articles and here's one 37:31 on Ancient Wisdom not written by a Seventh-day Adventist 37:35 but written by someone who's discovered, 37:37 he is a young yuppie. 37:38 "Sabbath, if you and your family 37:41 are drowning in the sea of to-do lists 37:44 by doing nothing, I just say, 37:47 try doing nothing for just one day in the week." 37:49 And he's talking about the Sabbath. 37:50 Well, that was interesting to me 37:51 and then I got home from a travel trip 37:53 one time with Jeannie 37:54 and we're going togrocery store to restock up our refrigerator 37:57 and this issue of Readers Digest happened to be 37:59 in the stand at the checkout, 38:01 it's got Meryl Streep's picture on the front cover. 38:05 Inside I was scanning it through here 38:07 and here's another article by somebody, 38:08 not a Seventh-day Adventist. 38:09 "Stop the week life is what's happening 38:12 when you're too busy to notice." 38:13 An article by a young person 38:15 who has discovered God's Sabbath. 38:19 Well, maybe you're more familiar with 38:20 USA Today Magazine, the newspaper. 38:23 This is the weekend edition sometime ago. 38:27 The lead article, "Whatever happened to Sunday 38:28 or the Sabbath or a day of rest." 38:31 The lead article is remember the Sabbath. 38:35 People are discovering 38:36 this is not written by Seventh-day Adventist, 38:38 these are written by people 38:39 who are discovering this from God's word. 38:41 I get something else as a little 38:42 instead of reading all of the journals, 38:44 I don't have time and not at home enough 38:46 I get something called Bottom Line 38:47 some of you maybe familiar with this. 38:49 Nice digest of the news 38:50 and I was scanning through here one evening, 38:52 here's Wayne Muller explains "The awesome power of rest" 38:56 and he's talking about the Sabbath. 38:59 I get Billy Graham's magazine, 39:02 here he's talking about a time for rest, 39:04 the time for worship, he's talking about the Sabbath. 39:06 I even get copies from time to time of the Catholic Digest. 39:09 "A time for rest" talking about the Sabbath. 39:13 But what really was surprising to me 39:15 was to go to Andrews University one year 39:18 and I noticed that this poster 39:19 was hanging up all over the campus 39:21 because they were featuring one of the finest musicians 39:25 that we have today a gospel contemporary artist. 39:27 If you want to see some deep 39:29 profound moving songs in the lyrics, 39:33 listen to Michael Card. 39:35 Michael Card has told his friends, 39:37 he's not an Adventist 39:39 but he's told his friends in the music word, 39:41 "I have discovered a time 39:42 when I can finally have time for my family, 39:44 I don't have to be flying, I do have to go anywhere, 39:47 don't call me from Friday night 39:48 sundown to Saturday night sundown, 39:50 I won't answer the phone, I won't answer the fax, 39:52 we do not turn on the television, 39:53 we don't turn on the radio, 39:54 that's time for my family and me 39:56 we've discovered God's palace in time." 39:59 Amen. 40:00 Michael Card is keeping 40:01 the Seventh-day Saturday Sabbath. 40:03 He has told that to another Christian recording artist 40:06 that most of you who go to any church would recognize, 40:09 his name is Steve Green. 40:11 Steve Green keeps the seventh day Bible Sabbath. 40:14 Over 12 million Christian people 40:18 have discovered Sabbath 40:19 as the most exciting day of their lives. 40:22 In fact, it's very interesting that's some Catholics, 40:25 Lutherans, Methodists are starting Saturday services, 40:31 mostly for convenience, not necessarily 40:33 because they believe in Sabbath. 40:34 They want their members to come to church, 40:35 not go to the Sunday bowl games. 40:38 But let me clarify something. 40:40 Folks, Sabbath is not a day to say, 40:43 well, hey, God, okay, let's get together 40:46 and do what I like to do, I like to go fishing. 40:48 I like to play golf with You on Sabbath. 40:50 I want to watch TV. Let's go surfing. 40:52 No, God wants us to use that day 40:54 to develop character in us, morality, integrity, 41:00 to take quality time with our families 41:03 and to reach out and bless other people. 41:06 It's a time to get out in nature for sure. 41:09 But Jesus completely revolutionized 41:11 Sabbath's deeper meaning when He said in Matthew 12:12. 41:15 "It is lawful to do good on the Sabbath." 41:19 He wants you to take a break from the rat race of this life. 41:22 Take time to go over to the hospital. 41:25 Take your kids to the nursing home 41:26 and having take their pets along. 41:28 By the way those senior citizens 41:29 just love it when you bring your pets. 41:32 Jesus says, go out and minister to people on Sabbath. 41:34 Heal, help broken people feel whole again, 41:37 get radical as the kids would say, be different. 41:42 Sabbath is a day, you see, to recreate life 41:46 because that's what Jesus did. 41:47 Ann Landers used to say, every single American, 41:49 every person have to do one good deed-- 41:52 a good deed everyday. 41:55 Kind of like the boys scouts, 41:56 girl scouts, only she always said, 41:58 you can't tell anybody about it, okay. 42:01 If you tell somebody about your good deed, 42:03 it doesn't count. 42:05 That's what God wants to do in the Sabbath. 42:06 You see, folks, the Sabbath is more than 42:08 just a difference of a day. 42:10 It is an experience, a different way of life. 42:13 You stop the rat race on Sabbath 42:15 and you focused on setting people free 42:17 from loneliness and guilt and estrangement and prejudice, 42:21 we free up ourselves to recreate in the image of God 42:26 that's what Sabbath is, 42:27 not just a 24 hour nap on Saturday. 42:31 But I want you to come with me for a moment to Calvary 42:33 and stand next to the cross, 42:36 the most sacred emblem of all Christendom. 42:39 You know that in the world's greatest emergency 42:41 the true meaning of the Sabbath was demonstrated 42:43 by those disciples and the women. 42:45 Do you remember what they did? 42:46 We just celebrated here with Easter. 42:48 Luke 23:56 says, "And they returned 42:51 and they prepared spices and ointments, 42:54 and rested the Sabbath according to the commandment." 42:58 You see, the tamper with the Sabbath 43:01 will be to tamper with Calvary itself. 43:04 In fact that's why the Book of Acts records 43:06 Paul and the disciples kept the Sabbath. 43:09 Folks, for 6,000 years the Sabbath runs like a thread 43:14 from Genesis all the way to the Book of Revelation, 43:17 where in chapter 14, as Billy Graham says, 43:19 it describes those who are patiently waiting for Jesus, 43:23 God's final last day called out once, 43:25 those who prepared to meet Jesus when He comes 43:28 right here at the end of time, right near Armageddon. 43:30 Revelation 14:12 says, "Here they are, 43:32 here's the patience of the saints. 43:34 They keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. 43:38 Amen. 43:39 But you know what settles this for me tonight, friend? 43:41 Jesus says in John 14:15 and John 15:14. 43:45 Lon, "If you love me, you will keep My commands." 43:49 And one of those commandments is to remember the Sabbath day, 43:53 His forever special sign. 43:56 The question is, am I willing to trust? 43:58 Am I willing to follow Jesus? 43:59 Willing to obey just because God asked me to? 44:03 You see the highest act of moral choice 44:06 is to do something for someone else 44:08 just because they asked you to. 44:13 You see, well, Lonnie, what I'm hearing tonight is so new. 44:16 What about all those wonderful 44:17 people out there in our community 44:18 who sincerely keep Sunday or another day? 44:22 And I can understand but, you know, 44:24 what, friend, God knows their hearts 44:26 and in fact, He says in Acts 17:30. 44:30 "In the past God overlooked such ignorance, 44:34 but now He commands all people everywhere to repent." 44:37 Don't you like that? He wings at past ignorance. 44:42 But when we know the truth 44:43 He expects us to start walking in the light of truth. 44:46 He says I'll help you. 44:48 So tonight I'd like to invite you 44:51 to make a decision to keep the Sabbath. 44:53 Million of others have but tonight 44:55 God is talking to you. 44:56 He's inviting you, placing a new responsibility 44:59 upon your heart to obey what you now know. 45:04 A quick story here. 45:06 Many of you remember about 10, 15 years ago, 45:08 a favorite Saturday night television show. 45:10 It was a crime syndicates show staring Tellie Savalas, Kojak, 45:16 you know, the bald headed actor. 45:19 Tellie Savalas died unfortunately of lung cancer 45:21 but of cancer and then but he confessed this story 45:24 to the tabloids before he died. 45:26 He said I was so popular and so famous 45:28 that we did an episode or two in Greece and he said-- 45:31 I was revered there as an actor. 45:33 And he was flying from Los Angeles to Athens, 45:35 a 15 hour flight. 45:36 He said I checked in an airline and he said, 45:39 I didn't want anybody to bother me, 45:40 I had my script, I had all the-- 45:42 I had to memorize the script. 45:43 So he said I put up a new paper like this. 45:46 As I sat there and everybody was checking in, 45:48 I was in first class, I didn't want anybody to recognize 45:50 because they all knew my bald head. 45:52 So he said, sat there until the plane was all filled 45:54 and he said, finally when I realized the closure 45:57 were ready to fly, he said, I put the newspaper down. 46:00 He said a gentleman was just putting his coat and his hat, 46:03 very, very dignified, very military like 46:06 and he was sitting down beside me, 46:08 well, if it isn't Tellie Savalas? 46:11 Oh, I can't believe it. 46:12 What luck I'm gonna have the next 15 hours 46:14 to sit next to you and talk. 46:16 Well, Tellie said I was myth 46:17 because I didn't want to talk to anybody. 46:18 I didn't want to see anybody. So he said, I just ignored him. 46:21 I turned my shoulder to him, I looked at the window. 46:25 But five or six hours into the flight, 46:27 the gentleman turned over and he said, Mr. Savalas, 46:29 I don't want to bother you but my kids and my family 46:32 will get such entertainment-- 46:34 you bring us such joy in our home 46:35 on Saturday night in Greece. 46:36 I just got to tell you that you mean a lot to us. 46:38 Thank you for what you do. 46:40 Tellie said again I was so myth that he would bother me. 46:42 I turned my shoulder to him and never even acknowledged 46:45 that a human being had just spoken to me. 46:48 He said, finally about six hours out of Athens 46:51 the gentleman pulled a pencil out of his 46:53 or pen out of his pocket, 46:54 he said we're just being served in first class 46:56 to get all kinds of meals and they give you a menu. 46:59 So the gentleman had the menu and he said to me, 47:01 Tellie, he said, I really won't bother you anymore 47:03 but if you really don't mind, 47:06 my kids won't believe that I sat next to you. 47:09 They would be thrilled-- 47:10 would you just mind signing your autograph here? 47:13 Tellie said, I pushed that pen away 47:15 and I turned and I looked at the window, 47:16 I never even spoke to him. 47:18 So he said, he didn't bother me again, 47:20 till finally we landed in Athens, 47:21 that we're moving toward the jet way 47:23 when the plane pulled off to the right 47:24 and he said, I looked at the window 47:26 and there are all kinds of people out there, 47:28 hundreds of them, thousands of them 47:30 and they look like military and police 47:32 and honored guard and there was the press 47:33 and television cameras and he said, 47:34 as we pulled to the stop, 47:35 they start roll out a big red carpet toward me. 47:37 And he said, I thought, oh, no, 47:39 somebody send a word ahead 47:40 and I'm gonna have to meet the press. 47:42 I'm a big star here. 47:43 And he said, right then the plane pulled to a halt 47:46 and the captain's voice came over the intercom said, 47:48 ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking, 47:50 welcome to Greece, Athens, 47:52 the birth place of the cradle of western civilization. 47:55 We're so glad you're here. 47:56 Ladies and gentlemen, 47:57 I hope you will remain in your seats for a moment. 47:58 You've noticed that we pulled off to the side, 48:00 something very special is about to happen. 48:02 You see we've a celebrity on our plane. 48:05 Well, we've very special guest. 48:07 He said, he's been away from our country 48:09 for a number of months on a medical emergency 48:12 and the whole country is so happy to have him back 48:14 that the heads of state, the Supreme Court, 48:17 the heads of the military, the army, the navy, the police, 48:20 they are all here and the television cameras 48:22 have come to welcome home their king. 48:26 Tellie said at that moment this man next to me stood up, 48:29 he reached for his coat, put on his royal hat, 48:32 he straightened his uniform, he walked out of the door, 48:35 as the band split the air and welcomed home 48:38 the king of Greece, his Royal Highness. 48:42 And Tellie confessed later, he said, just to think, 48:45 to think, I could have sat next to a king. 48:49 I could have got acquainted with the king. 48:51 I could have been a friend of a king 48:55 but I was too much into myself. 49:02 God says on the seventh day Sabbath, 49:05 we can ride next to the king, we can walk, talk, 49:09 get acquainted with the Creator the King, 49:11 but too much, too many of us are too much into ourselves. 49:17 Tonight is your way the eternal consequences 49:19 if your decision for Jesus Christ 49:21 wondering and pondering. 49:23 What day shall I keep?
