00:09 IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN TO ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY, 00:12 YOU HAVE PROBABLY SEEN 00:13 A SHARP-LOOKING SENTINEL 00:15 GUARDING THE TOMB OF THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER. 00:18 EVERY DETAIL OF THIS HONOR GUARD SERVICE 00:21 IS FLAWLESSLY EXECUTED. 00:23 AND IT'S FILLED WITH SYMBOLISM TOO. 00:25 ONLY A FRACTION OF SOLDIERS WHO TRY OUT 00:28 FOR THIS POSITION ARE ACCEPTED. 00:30 CANDIDATES MUST MEET STRICT QUALIFICATIONS 00:34 AND PASS BOTH WRITTEN AND PROFICIENCY TESTS. 00:37 THOSE WHO MAKE THE CUT 00:39 ARE HELD TO A VERY HIGH STANDARD. 00:41 THE GUARDS WHICH ARE CHANGED EVERY 30 MINUTES IN THE SUMMER 00:45 AND EVERY HOUR IN THE WINTER 00:46 HAVE BEEN PATROLLING THE TOMB 24 HOURS A DAY, 00:50 365 DAYS A YEAR, 00:53 CONTINUOUSLY SINCE APRIL 6, 1948, 00:57 IN ALL KINDS OF WEATHER INCLUDING HURRICANES. 01:00 FOR THEM, GUARDING THE TOMB IS NOT JUST AN ASSIGNMENT. 01:04 IT'S THE HIGHEST HONOR A SERVICEPERSON CAN RECEIVE. 01:08 DID YOU KNOW THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT GOD HAS A MEMORIAL 01:12 TO BE REMEMBERED IN HIS WORD? 01:14 IT'S FOUND IN THE FOURTH COMMANDMENT. 01:16 AND IT MEMORIALIZES GOD'S CREATIVE 01:18 AND SANCTIFYING POWER, 01:20 HONORING HIM AS OUR CREATOR AND REDEEMER. 01:22 LET'S TAKE A FEW MINUTES NOW AND EXPLORE FROM THE BIBLE 01:25 THIS MEMORIAL FOUND IN GOD'S WORD. 01:32 TONIGHT, OUR PRESENTATION IS GOING TO BE DEALING 01:34 WITH THE SUBJECT OF THE 144,000 AND THE SEAL OF GOD. 01:39 LET'S START WITH THE 144,000 IN CHAPTER 7 OF REVELATION 01:43 AND YOU CAN BEGIN WITH VERSE 1, CHAPTER 7, VERSE 1, 01:47 "AFTER THESE THINGS I SAW FOUR ANGELS 01:51 HOLDING THE FOUR WINDS OF THE EARTH, 01:53 THAT THE WIND SHOULD NOT BLOW ON THE EARTH, 01:56 OR THE SEA, OR ANY TREE." UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS, 01:59 IT'S GOING TO BLOW EVENTUALLY. 02:01 THOSE WINDS OF STRIFE ARE REALLY... 02:03 THEY'RE KIND OF SUMMARIZED IN THE SEVEN LAST PLAGUES. 02:07 "THEN I SAW ANOTHER ANGEL ASCENDING FROM THE EAST, 02:10 HAVING THE SEAL OF THE LIVING GOD. 02:13 AND HE CRIED WITH A LOUD VOICE... 02:15 SAYING, 'DO NOT HARM THE EARTH, 02:17 OR THE SEA, OR THE TREES 02:19 TILL WE HAVE SEALED THE SERVANTS OF OUR GOD 02:23 ON THEIR FOREHEADS.'" 02:24 AND, SORT OF, WITH THAT AS AN INTRODUCTION, 02:26 LET'S GO THROUGH SOME OF OUR QUESTIONS NOW 02:29 THAT TALK ABOUT THE 144,000 AND THE SEAL OF GOD. 02:33 FIRST QUESTION, SO WHAT IS THE SEAL OF GOD? 02:36 IT SAYS THERE IN EPHESIANS 4:30, 02:38 "DO NOT GRIEVE THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, 02:40 WHEREWITH YOU ARE SEALED FOR THE DAY OF REDEMPTION." 02:44 THERE'S A SEAL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT 02:46 THAT HAPPENS INSIDE. 02:47 BUT THERE'S SOMETHING 02:49 THAT IS MORE TANGIBLE THAN THAT 02:51 THAT CAN BE SEEN IN THE LIFE, 02:52 AND YOU'LL FIND THAT IN THIS VERSE, 02:54 ISAIAH 8:16, "BIND UP THE TESTIMONY, 02:58 SEAL THE LAW AMONG MY DISCIPLES." 03:02 CAN THE LAW BE SEALED IN THE HEART? 03:06 SO THE LAW OF GOD, IN A SENSE, IS THE SEAL, 03:08 WHAT'S THE NEW COVENANT? 03:09 "I'LL TAKE MY LAW AND WRITE IT IN THEIR HEARTS." 03:13 BUT WE'RE GOING TO GO A STEP DEEPER 03:15 TO FIND OUT WHAT IS THAT SEAL AND THE LAW. 03:18 "REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY TO KEEP IT HOLY. 03:21 SIX DAYS YOU SHALL LABOR AND DO ALL YOUR WORK. 03:25 BUT THE SEVENTH DAY 03:26 IS THE SABBATH OF THE LORD YOUR GOD. 03:28 IN IT YOU SHALL NOT DO ANY WORK, 03:31 YOU OR YOUR SON OR YOUR DAUGHTER, 03:33 YOUR MALE SERVANT OR YOUR FEMALE SERVANT, 03:35 NOR YOUR CATTLE OR THE STRANGER WHO IS WITHIN YOUR GATES." 03:38 NOW HEAR, WATCH CAREFULLY, "FOR IN SIX DAYS, THE LORD," 03:42 JEHOVAH HIS NAME, CREATED, "MADE," HIS OFFICE, 03:47 HE'S THE CREATOR AND SUSTAINER 03:49 "THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH, AND THE SEA." 03:52 THERE YOU HAVE THE NAME OF GOD, 03:54 THE TITLE OF GOD, THE TERRITORY OF GOD. 03:57 IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LAW OF GOD IS THIS SEAL. 04:01 AND WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT NOW 04:03 IS THE SABBATH COMMANDMENT 04:05 AND WHY IT IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE 04:07 IN THE LAST DAYS 04:09 BECAUSE IT TALKS ABOUT RESTING IN THE LORD. 04:13 IT TALKS ABOUT HAVING A RELATIONSHIP, 04:14 IT TALKS ABOUT HAVING THE FATHER'S NAME. 04:16 IS THE FATHER'S NAME IN THAT COMMANDMENT? 04:19 JEHOVAH, "THE LORD MADE THE HEAVEN 04:21 AND EARTH AND SEA AND ALL THAT IS IN THEM, 04:23 AND HE RESTED THE SEVENTH DAY. 04:24 THEREFORE, THE LORD BLESSED THE SABBATH DAY 04:27 AND HE HALLOWED IT," THAT MEANS HE MADE IT HOLY. 04:30 GOD, WHEN HE CREATED THE WORLD, 04:32 HE CREATED AND SANCTIFIED A QUALITY TIME 04:34 TO NURTURE OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM. 04:37 AND IF YOU LOVE GOD... 04:38 IF YOU KNOW GOD, YOU'LL LOVE HIM. 04:39 IF YOU LOVE HIM, YOU'LL OBEY HIM. 04:41 THE DEVIL IS TRYING TO DESTROY THE QUALITY TIME 04:44 AND THE LOVE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PEOPLE AND GOD, 04:47 AND HE IS ESPECIALLY ATTACKING THE SABBATH. 04:51 DID GOD MAKE THE SABBATH ONLY FOR ISRAELITES? 04:54 NO. WELL, LET'S THINK ABOUT IT. 04:56 HOW FAR BACK DOES THE SABBATH GO? 04:59 JESUS SAID, MARK 2:27, "HE SAID UNTO THEM, 05:02 'THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR JEWS.'" 05:06 AND... FOR MAN. 05:07 WELL, YOU CAN SPELL JEWS SEVERAL DIFFERENT WAYS. 05:09 ONE WAY IS M-A-N. 05:11 IS THAT'S WHAT IT SAYS? DOES IT SAY JEWS? 05:13 THAT WORD THERE IS TALKING ABOUT ANTHROPOS, EVERYBODY, 05:16 HUMANITY, THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR MAN, MANKIND. 05:20 QUICK TEST, HOW MANY HERE ARE RELATED TO ADAM AND EVE? 05:24 ALL OF US. 05:26 SABBATH WAS MADE FOR MAN. WHEN WAS THAT? 05:27 WAY BACK IN THE BEGINNING. JESUS SAID THAT. 05:31 IT'S NOT MADE FOR JEWS. 05:32 THE BIBLE'S REALLY CLEAR, IT'S FOR EVERYBODY. 05:34 "ALSO, THE SONS OF THE STRANGER THAT JOIN THEMSELVES 05:37 TO THE LORD TO SERVE HIM, 05:39 AND TO LOVE THE NAME OF THE LORD, 05:41 TO BE HIS SERVANTS, EVERYONE," THE STRANGER, THE GENTILE, 05:44 "THAT KEEPS THE SABBATH DAY FROM POLLUTING IT, 05:47 AND TAKES HOLD OF MY COVENANT, 05:49 EVEN THEM I WILL BRING TO MY HOLY MOUNTAIN 05:51 AND MAKE THEM JOYFUL IN MY HOUSE OF PRAYER." 05:55 WHAT DOES HE PROMISE TO EVERYBODY 05:56 THAT REMEMBERS HIS COMMANDMENT? 05:58 JOY. IT'S TO BE A BLESSING. 06:00 HE DIDN'T CURSE THE DAY, HE BLESSED THE DAY, RIGHT? 06:03 SO WHEN DID GOD ESTABLISH THE SABBATH TRUTH, 06:05 THE SEAL THAT WE'RE STUDYING? 06:08 WAY BACK IN THE BEGINNING, IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN, 06:10 AFTER GOD MADE EVERYTHING IN SIX DAYS... 06:12 HOW MANY DAYS IN THE WEEK? SEVEN. 06:15 DO YOU KNOW THERE'S SEVEN DAYS IN THE WEEK 06:16 WHEN WE WENT TO CHINA? 06:17 AND THEY'RE TECHNICALLY AN ATHEISTIC COUNTRY. 06:19 KAREN AND I WENT TO RUSSIA RIGHT AFTER THE IRON CURTAIN 06:22 FELL SEVEN DAYS OF THE WEEK IN KOREA, JAPAN, 06:25 EVERYWHERE WE'VE BEEN, AUSTRALIA, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. 06:28 WHY? 06:29 IT'S REALLY STRANGE WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT. 06:31 IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE WHY ALL THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD, 06:34 EVEN BEFORE THE SPREAD OF MODERN CIVILIZATION, 06:37 HAD 360 TO 370 DAYS IN THEIR CALENDAR FOR A YEAR 06:43 BECAUSE THAT'S... 06:44 THEY COULD SEE, THEY COULD OBSERVE 06:45 THAT'S HOW LONG IT TOOK FOR THE EARTH TO GO 06:48 ONCE AROUND THE SUN, 06:49 SO IT SHOULDN'T SURPRISE US THAT 06:51 ALL THE ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS HAD A YEAR 06:53 WITH ABOUT THE SAME NUMBER OF DAYS. 06:55 IT SHOULDN'T SURPRISE US 06:56 THAT THEY ALL HAD SOMETHING LIKE A MONTH 06:58 BECAUSE IT'S THE LUNAR CYCLE. 07:00 THAT'S WHERE YOU GET THE WORD MONTH, MOON. 07:03 AND WE ALL KNOW IT TAKES 24 HOURS 07:05 FOR THE EARTH TO REVOLVE ONCE ON ITS AXIS, 07:08 BUT WHERE IN THE SUN, MOON, 07:09 AND STARS DO YOU GET A SEVEN-DAY WEEK? 07:13 NOWHERE. 07:14 THE ONLY PLACE THAT THE WORLD CAN TRACE A SEVEN-DAY WEEK 07:16 IS TO "IN THE BEGINNING, GOD CREATED THE HEAVENS 07:19 AND THE EARTH." 07:21 IT ALL GOES BACK TO THE BIBLE. 07:22 WHY DO WE HAVE SEVEN AND NOT SIX? 07:24 HE FINISHED EVERYTHING IN SIX DAYS, 07:26 WHY DO WE HAVE SEVEN? HE SAID, "I'M NOT DONE YET. 07:28 YOU'RE NOT GOING TO ENJOY 07:29 ANYTHING I MADE IN THESE SIX DAYS 07:31 UNLESS YOU REMEMBER THE SEVENTH 07:33 BECAUSE YOU NEED TO REST WITH ME 07:35 AND TO RECHARGE YOUR RELATIONSHIP, 07:37 TO GO FORTH AND DO WHAT I'VE CREATED, 07:39 TO ENJOY YOUR PARADISE." 07:42 IT'S PART OF GOD'S PERFECT PLAN. 07:44 HE MADE A DAY TO NURTURE 07:45 OUR LOVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH HIM. 07:48 "THUS THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH WERE FINISHED, 07:50 AND ALL THE HOST OF THEM... 07:52 AND GOD BLESSED THE SEVENTH DAY, 07:54 AND HE SANCTIFIED IT 07:56 BECAUSE IN IT HE HAD RESTED FROM ALL HIS WORK 07:58 WHICH GOD CREATED AND MADE." 08:01 NOTICE, THERE'S SEVERAL THINGS THAT HE DID THERE. 08:03 WHAT DAY OF THE WEEK IS THE SABBATH? 08:05 AND THIS IS WHERE SOME PEOPLE ARE SURPRISED. 08:07 IS IT THE FIRST DAY? THIRD DAY? 08:09 THE BIBLE SAYS, AND, NOTICE BACK IN CREATION, 08:12 I'M REPEATING THAT VERSE HERE IN GENESIS 2 08:14 AND I WANT TO ACCENTUATE SOMETHING, 08:16 "AND ON THE SEVENTH DAY, 08:18 GOD ENDED HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD MADE, 08:20 AND HE RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY 08:23 FROM ALL OF HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD MADE." 08:25 AND IT SAYS THAT "GOD BLESSED 08:26 THE SEVENTH DAY AND SANCTIFIED IT." 08:28 FIRST TIME IN THE BIBLE GOD SAYS SOMETHING LIKE THIS, 08:30 A NUMBER THREE TIMES. 08:31 WHAT NUMBER IS IT? 08:32 SEVENTH DAY, SEVENTH DAY, SEVENTH DAY. 08:34 NOW YOU MAY THINK THIS IS JUST CAVEMAN THEOLOGY, 08:37 BUT, FOR ME, I THINK IT'S VERY INTERESTING 08:38 THAT THERE, IN THE BEGINNING, IN GENESIS, GOD SAYS, 08:41 "SEVEN, SEVEN, SEVEN." 08:42 YOU GET TO THE LAST BOOK IN THE BIBLE, IT SAYS, 08:44 "YOU DON'T WANT THE SIX, SIX, SIX." 08:47 IT'S LIKE ONE IS THE NUMBER OF GOD, 08:48 SIX, IN THE BIBLE, IS THE NUMBER OF MAN. 08:51 KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR MAKES A GOLDEN IMAGE 08:54 60 CUBITS BY 6 CUBITS, 08:57 PROBABLY 6 WIDE, 6 DEEP, 60 HIGH, 666. 09:01 HE TELLS EVERYONE, "BOW DOWN." 09:03 HOW HAS GOD DEMONSTRATED 09:05 THE IMPORTANCE OF HIS HOLY SABBATH? 09:08 IT'S NOT PASTOR DOUG'S SABBATH. 09:10 IT'S NOT THE JEWS' SABBATH, IT'S GOD'S SABBATH. 09:14 NOTICE HE SAID, 09:15 "REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY, TO KEEP IT HOLY. 09:19 THE LORD BLESSED THE SABBATH DAY 09:21 AND HE HALLOWED IT." 09:22 I WAS DOING A MEETING LIKE THIS ONE TIME, 09:24 AND ONE OF THE INDIVIDUALS COMING, 09:26 AND A LOT OF THE PEOPLE THERE, AND THIS PASTOR WAS THERE, 09:29 AND HE INTERRUPTED THE MEETING. 09:31 HE SAID, "BROTHER DOUG," HE SAID, "THIS IS LEGALISM. 09:34 YOU'RE PUTTING THESE PEOPLE UNDER BONDAGE OF WORKS." 09:38 I SAID, "BROTHER, I'M TELLING THEM 09:39 TO KEEP THE SABBATH COMMANDMENT. 09:40 I'M TELLING THEM TO REST. YOU'RE TELLING THEM NOT TO. 09:42 YOU'RE TELLING THEM TO WORK. 09:44 I'M SAYING REST." AND HE SAID, 09:47 "WE'RE NO LONGER UNDER THE LAW." 09:50 AND SO HE AND I KIND OF GOT INTO AN EXCHANGE 09:51 RIGHT DURING THE MEETING AND, 09:53 YOU KNOW, I HAD TO DEAL WITH IT. 09:54 I SAID, "SO DO YOU THINK 09:57 WE SHOULD KEEP THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?" 09:59 HE SAID, "NO." SOME OF HIS MEMBERS WERE THERE. 10:01 THEY KIND OF GASPED AND LOOKED AT HIM 10:02 BECAUSE THEY NEVER HEARD HIM SAY THAT. 10:04 AND THEN HE SAID, "WELL, YES." 10:06 BUT THAT, OF COURSE, WOULD INCLUDE 10:07 THE FOURTH COMMANDMENT. 10:08 AND THEN HE SAID, "NINE OF THEM." 10:12 AND SO I SAID, "SO WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME 10:14 IS THE ONE COMMANDMENT YOU THINK WE'RE SUPPOSED 10:16 TO FORGET IS THE ONLY COMMANDMENT 10:18 THAT BEGINS WITH THE WORD REMEMBER." 10:21 THAT DIDN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME. 10:24 DON'T GO ANYWHERE, FRIENDS, WE'LL BE BACK IN JUST A MOMENT 10:26 WITH THE REST OF TODAY'S PRESENTATION. 10:29 ARE YOU WEARY OF THE NEVER-ENDING 24/7 SCHEDULE 10:32 IN TODAY'S HECTIC WORLD? 10:34 IS THIS STRESSFUL GRIND REALLY THE WAY 10:37 THAT LIFE WAS MEANT TO BE LIVED? 10:39 OR IS THERE SOMETHING BETTER OUT THERE WAITING FOR YOU? 10:42 WHAT IF I TOLD YOU THAT GOD HAD ORIGINALLY DESIGNED MANKIND 10:46 TO TAKE REGULAR, REFRESHING WEEKLY BREAK, 10:50 AND THEN IN DOING THIS, 10:51 YOUR LIFE AND EVEN YOUR HEALTH WOULD IMPROVE? 10:54 IT'S A BLESSING CALLED THE SABBATH. 10:56 AND IT CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER. 10:59 THAT'S WHY AMAZING FACTS 11:00 WANTS TO SEND YOU A SPECIAL FREE MAGAZINE, 11:03 AND IT'S CALLED THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. 11:05 IT'S FILLED WITH VIVID, COLORED GRAPHICS 11:08 AND FASCINATING FACTS 11:09 THAT REVEAL THE LOST BIBLE TRUTH 11:12 AND COMMANDMENT KNOWN AS THE SABBATH. 11:14 YOU'LL DISCOVER THE INCREDIBLE PHYSICAL 11:16 AND SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS OF EMBRACING THE SABBATH 11:18 AS YOU EXPLORE THE HISTORY 11:20 FROM ANCIENT TIMES TO THE PRESENT, 11:22 EVEN TO THE FUTURE. 11:23 TO GET YOUR FREE COPY, 11:25 CALL THE PHONE NUMBER ON THE SCREEN 11:26 AND ASK FOR OFFER NUMBER 813 OR VISIT THE WEB ADDRESS. 11:31 AND AFTER YOU READ THIS INCREDIBLE RESOURCE, 11:33 BE SURE AND SHARE IT WITH A FRIEND. 11:35 LET'S RETURN NOW TO TODAY'S PRESENTATION 11:37 AND LEARN SOME MORE AMAZING FACTS 11:40 FROM THE WORD OF GOD. 11:42 IT SAYS, "REMEMBER THE SABBATH." 11:44 NOTICE IT SAYS, "HE BLESSED THE SABBATH DAY." 11:46 THERE'S SOME THINGS HE DID TO THAT DAY. 11:48 IN A SPECIAL WAY HE RESTED, 11:50 HE BLESSED AND HE SANCTIFIED IT. 11:52 HE MADE IT HOLY, AND HE SPECIFIED A CERTAIN DAY. 11:56 HE DIDN'T SAY KEEP A SABBATH DAY, 11:57 DID YOU NOTICE THAT? 11:59 IT DOESN'T SAY GOD BLESSED A DAY 12:00 AND YOU JUST PICK WHERE YOU WANT TO PASTE 12:01 THAT BLESSING LIKE A STAMP. 12:03 GOD SAYS, "I BLESSED THE DAY. 12:04 I'M GOING TO MEET WITH YOU." WE DON'T PICK OUR OWN DAY. 12:07 IT'S A COMMANDMENT. 12:08 HE DOESN'T SAY A SEVENTH DAY, THE SEVENTH DAY. 12:12 WHICH DAY DID JESUS KEEP HOLY? 12:14 A CHRISTIAN IS A FOLLOWER OF CHRIST, RIGHT? 12:17 ARE WE STILL TOGETHER? Yes. 12:19 IT SAYS, "AND HE CAME TO NAZARETH, 12:21 WHERE HE HAD BEEN BROUGHT UP, AND, AS HIS CUSTOM WAS," 12:25 WENT TO HIS HOMETOWN AND IS CUSTOM 12:26 SOMETHING YOU DO ONCE OR TWICE OR IT'S A WAY OF LIFE? 12:29 WAY OF LIFE. 12:30 "AS HIS CUSTOM WAS, 12:31 HE WENT INTO THE SYNAGOGUE ON THE SABBATH DAY, 12:34 AND HE STOOD UP FOR TO READ THE SCRIPTURES." 12:36 JESUS REGULARLY WENT TO CHURCH... 12:38 SYNAGOGUE OR CHURCH, SAME WORD, GATHERING IT MEANS. 12:41 ON THE SABBATH DAY, READ HIS BIBLE, 12:43 IT'S PROBABLY STILL A GOOD IDEA FOR US 12:45 TO DO WHAT JESUS DID. 12:47 NOW CAN YOU TELL ME 12:48 WHERE JESUS SAID NOT TO DO IT ANYMORE? 12:52 WHAT ABOUT THE APOSTLES? LET'S TAKE PAUL, FOR EXAMPLE. 12:55 HE WROTE NEARLY HALF OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. 12:57 WHAT WAS PAUL'S CUSTOM REGARDING THE SABBATH DAY? 13:01 IT SAYS, "PAUL, AS HIS CUSTOM WAS, 13:03 HE WENT IN TO THEM AND THREE SABBATH DAYS 13:06 HE REASONED WITH THEM OUT OF THE SCRIPTURE." 13:08 PAUL HAD A CUSTOM, HE WENT IN, 13:10 NOT JUST WHEN HE WAS TALKING TO THE JEWS, 13:13 HE ALSO DID IT WITH THE GREEKS. 13:14 IT SAYS, IN ACTS 18:4, 13:16 "HE REASONED IN THE SYNAGOGUE EVERY SABBATH 13:19 AND PERSUADED THE JEWS AND THE GREEKS," 13:21 MEANING THE JEWS AND THE GENTILES. 13:23 IT WAS SOMETHING THAT HE DID FOR EVERYBODY. 13:26 SO THIS, I BELIEVE, WAS A PATTERN YOU'LL SEE 13:29 ALL THROUGH THE TIME OF CHRIST WITH JESUS, WITH THE APOSTLES. 13:33 DID JESUS INTEND FOR HIS PEOPLE TO BE KEEPING THE SABBATH 13:36 AFTER HE DIED FOR THEIR SINS 13:39 DOWN THROUGH HISTORY IN THE LAST DAYS? 13:42 YOU CAN LOOK IN THAT PROPHECY WHERE JESUS, TALKING 13:44 ABOUT THE END OF THE WORLD IN MATTHEW 24, 13:47 AND HE'S TALKING ABOUT THIS TIME OF TROUBLE, 13:48 AND HE SAID, "PRAY THAT YOUR FLIGHT 13:51 BE NOT IN THE WINTER, OR ON THE SABBATH DAY." 13:55 WHY IF HIS PEOPLE WERE NOT KEEPING THE SABBATH ANYMORE, 13:58 THEN WHY WOULD HE SAY THAT? 14:01 EXCEPT MAYBE HE KNEW THEY WOULD BE KEEPING IT. 14:04 IF YOU LOOK IN REVELATION 14, REMEMBER THE 144,000 14:07 ARE IN REVELATION 14, IF YOU LOOK IN VERSE 7, 14:10 THERE THE ANGEL DECLARES, 14:12 "WORSHIP HIM WHO MADE THE HEAVEN 14:15 AND THE EARTH, AND THE SEA 14:17 AND THE SPRINGS OF THE FOUNTAINS OF WATER." 14:19 DO YOU KNOW THAT'S AN EXTRACT 14:22 RIGHT FROM THE FOURTH COMMANDMENT 14:23 ABOUT THE SABBATH? 14:25 "FOR IN SIX DAYS, 14:26 THE LORD MADE THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH 14:28 AND THE SEA." 14:30 AND THEN HE'S... THE ANGEL'S SAYING, 14:31 "WORSHIP HIM." 14:32 WHAT DO WE DO IN A SPECIAL WAY ON THE SABBATH? 14:34 IT IS A SPECIAL TIME OF COLLECTIVE WORSHIP. 14:36 BY THE WAY, I MEET PEOPLE 14:38 AND THEY SAY, "OH, PASTOR DOUG, 14:39 I BELIEVE YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT 14:40 AND I KEEP THE SABBATH DAY. 14:42 I DON'T DO ANY WORK ON THE SABBATH DAY." 14:44 YOU'D BE SURPRISED 14:46 HOW MANY PASTORS HAVE COME UP TO ME 14:48 RIGHT HERE IN ORLANDO. 14:50 NEXT WEEK, I'LL BE AT 14:51 WHAT THEY CALL THE NRB CONVENTION, 14:53 NATIONAL RELIGIOUS BROADCASTERS CONVENTION, 14:55 A LOT OF DEAR FRIENDS FROM OTHER CHURCHES AND PASTORS, 14:58 WE KNOW EACH OTHER, WE'RE FRIENDS. 14:59 THEY KNOW ME, THEY SEE OUR TV PROGRAMS, 15:01 THEY KNOW WHERE I STAND. 15:04 AND THEY'LL COME TO ME SECRETLY, 15:05 I'M NOT GOING TO BETRAY ANY OF THEM, 15:07 THEY SAY, "BROTHER DOUG, 15:08 YOU KNOW, YOU'RE RIGHT ON THAT SABBATH BUSINESS, 15:09 AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW 15:10 I DON'T DO ANY WORK ON SATURDAY." 15:12 I SAY, "YEAH, BUT DO YOU GATHER FOR WORSHIP?" 15:15 "WELL, YOU KNOW, 15:16 MY SUNDAY FRIENDS PROBABLY WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND 15:18 IF I DID THAT." 15:20 BUT, YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE SAYS, IN LEVITICUS 23, 15:22 "THE SABBATH IS A HOLY CONVOCATION." 15:25 YOU KNOW WHAT A CONVENTION IS? 15:27 CONVOCATION, ASSEMBLY, A COMING TOGETHER, 15:30 THE PEOPLE OF GOD WOULD COME TOGETHER 15:32 TO WORSHIP THE LORD. 15:33 IT'S A TIME TO SPEND QUALITY TIME WITH GOD. 15:37 DOES THE BIBLE TEACH THAT GOD'S END-TIME PEOPLE 15:39 WOULD ALSO BE KEEPING THE SEVENTH-DAY SABBATH HOLY? 15:43 IT SAYS, "THE DRAGON WAS WROTH WITH THE WOMAN," 15:46 THIS IS IN REVELATION CHAPTER 12:17 15:49 "AND HE GOES TO MAKE WAR 15:50 WITH THE REMNANT OF HER SEED" 15:51 AND, HERE, THE TWO OUTSTANDING CHARACTERISTICS, 15:53 "WHICH KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD 15:55 AND HAVE THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS CHRIST." 15:58 YOU CAN READ, ALSO, IN REVELATION 12:14, 16:01 SIMILAR VERSE. 16:02 "HERE IS THE PATIENCE OF THE SAINTS, 16:04 HERE ARE THOSE THAT KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD 16:06 AND THE FAITH OF JESUS." 16:08 SO YOU CAN SEE THAT ALL THROUGH REVELATION. 16:12 NOW EVERYBODY KEEPS SOME OF THE COMMANDMENTS 16:15 SOME OF THE TIME. 16:17 MOST OF YOU KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS 16:18 WHEN YOU'RE SLEEPING. 16:21 YOU GO TO PRISON, YOU'RE GOING TO MEET PEOPLE 16:22 THAT KEEP A LOT OF THE COMMANDMENTS. 16:24 GOD IS LOOKING FOR PEOPLE 16:25 THAT BELIEVE ALL OF THEM AND ARE, 16:27 BY THE GRACE OF GOD, GOING TO DO THEIR BEST 16:29 TO NOT JUST BE HEARERS BUT DOERS. 16:32 YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE SAYS, 16:33 "WHOSOEVER THEREFORE SHALL BREAK ONE COMMANDMENT, 16:36 HE IS GUILTY OF ALL." 16:38 SO IF YOU GO TO THE JUDGE AND YOU SAY, 16:40 "I REALIZE THAT I KILLED THAT PERSON, 16:42 BUT I KEEP ALL THE OTHER COMMANDMENTS." 16:44 IS THAT DEFENSE GOING TO WORK VERY WELL? 16:46 NO. 16:47 YOU KNOW, GOD SAYS, "LOOK, YOU SHOULD DO YOUR BEST, 16:50 BY THE GRACE OF GOD, TO KEEP ALL OF THEM." 16:52 THAT'S RIGHT. 16:53 NOW, AGAIN, THEY'RE NOT THE TEN SUGGESTIONS. 16:57 AND IT SAYS, "BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS, 17:00 THAT THEY MIGHT EAT FROM THE TREE OF LIFE, 17:01 AND ENTER THROUGH THE GATES TO THE CITY." 17:03 THAT, AGAIN, IS REVELATION 22:14. 17:06 WILL ALL OF THE SAVED 17:07 BE KEEPING THE SABBATH IN HEAVEN? 17:09 YES. WELL, I THINK SO. 17:12 YOU CAN READ HERE, 17:13 IT SAYS IN ISAIAH 66, VERSES 22 AND 23, 17:17 "FOR AS THE NEW HEAVENS 17:18 AND THE NEW EARTH, THAT I WILL MAKE, 17:20 WILL REMAIN BEFORE ME, SAYS THE LORD, 17:23 SO SHALL YOUR NAME AND YOUR SEED REMAIN. 17:26 AND IT WILL COME TO PASS, 17:28 THAT FROM ONE SABBATH TO ANOTHER, 17:30 SHALL ALL FLESH COME TO WORSHIP BEFORE ME." 17:34 IS ALL FLESH JEWS? 17:35 OR DOES ALL FLESH MEAN EVERYBODY? 17:37 EVERYBODY. 17:38 HE'S TALKING ABOUT, AS THE NEW HEAVENS 17:39 AND THE NEW EARTH, THAT'S FUTURE, RIGHT? 17:42 SO IF THEY KEPT IT BACK 17:45 IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN IN THE DAYS OF ADAM, RIGHT? 17:49 IF WE KNOW MOSES 17:50 AND THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL KEPT IT, 17:53 AND THE PEOPLE OF GOD IN THE OLD TESTAMENT KEPT IT, 17:55 AND JESUS KEPT IT, AND THE APOSTLES KEPT IT, 17:58 AND WE'RE GOING TO KEEP IT IN HEAVEN, 18:01 WHY WOULDN'T WE KEEP IT NOW? 18:04 DO WE NEED REST NOW? 18:07 DO WE NEED QUALITY TIME WITH GOD NOW? 18:10 YOU KNOW, FRIENDS, THIS IS JUST SUCH A VERY IMPORTANT SUBJECT. 18:14 SOME PEOPLE WOULD BE THINKING, "OH, PASTOR DOUG, 18:15 YOU'RE MAKING A BIG DEAL OUT OF ONE COMMANDMENT." 18:19 IT ALWAYS STRIKES ME AS PECULIAR. 18:21 AND I DIDN'T ALWAYS BELIEVE THESE THINGS. 18:23 I JUST SAID, "LORD, I WANT TO BE IN HEAVEN. 18:25 I WANT TO FOLLOW YOUR WORD. IT'S IN THE BIBLE. 18:27 IT MAY NOT BE POPULAR BUT I WANT TO BE FAITHFUL." 18:31 I KNOW, FROM WORSHIPING WITH MY BRETHREN AND SISTREN, 18:36 IN ALL THESE DIFFERENT CHURCHES, 18:38 THAT I COULD GO TO ALMOST ANY CHURCH IN TOWN 18:41 AND I COULD STAND UP, IF THEY INVITE ME TO PREACH, 18:42 AND I COULD PREACH A SERMON ON "HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER" 18:46 AND YOU'D HEAR "AMEN!" 18:47 "AMEN!" THEY'D NOD, FOLD ARMS, "AMEN!" 18:49 THEY'D LOOK AT THEIR TEENAGERS, "AMEN!" 18:51 I KNOW BECAUSE I'VE DONE IT. 18:53 I COULD GO AND I COULD PREACH A SERMON 18:54 ON "THOU SHALL NOT STEAL" 18:56 AND THE FOLKS MIGHT SQUIRM A LITTLE BIT, 18:58 THEY GO, "AMEN!" 19:00 I COULD TALK ABOUT 19:01 "THOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY," 19:03 IT GETS QUIET. 19:06 BUT YOU'LL HEAR SOME AMENS. 19:09 I COULD TALK ABOUT "DO NOT HAVE OTHER GODS BEFORE ME" 19:12 "THOU SHALL NOT TAKE THE NAME OF THE LORD THY GOD" 19:14 I COULD PREACH ON ALMOST 19:15 ANY OF THE OTHER NINE COMMANDMENTS 19:17 AND EVERYBODY WOULD SAY, "AMEN!" 19:20 BUT IF YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO SAY, 19:21 "REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY, 19:23 THE SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH," 19:24 PEOPLE SAY, "OH, NO, NO, 19:25 WE'RE NOT UNDER THE LAW, WE'RE UNDER GRACE." 19:28 PEOPLE HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THE TEN COMMANDMENTS 19:30 UNTIL YOU PRESENT THE ONE THAT THEY'RE ALL FORGETTING. 19:33 WHY DID GOD SAY REMEMBER? 19:34 BECAUSE HE KNEW WE'D FORGET. 19:35 YEP. YEP. 19:37 THERE'S SOMETHING... 19:38 IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE A BIBLICALLY HONEST CHRISTIAN, 19:42 THEN AT LEAST SAY, "PASTOR DOUG, 19:44 YOU KNOW, KEEPING THE SABBATH IS GOING TO BE 19:45 A REAL PROBLEM FOR ME." 19:46 ALL RIGHT, WELL, LET'S JUST BE HONEST. 19:47 GIVE IT TO GOD, 19:49 BUT DON'T SAY IT DOESN'T MATTER. 19:50 AMEN. 19:51 "NOW THIS IS A REVELATION PROGRAM 19:53 PROPHECY PROGRAM, 19:54 WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THIS, PASTOR DOUG?" 19:56 FOLLOW MY LOGIC. SEE IF IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. 19:59 DANIEL CHAPTER 3, THE KING MAKES A LAW. 20:03 EVERYBODY'S GOT TO WORSHIP THE IMAGE OR THEY DIE. 20:07 SHADRACH, MESHACH, 20:08 AND ABEDNEGO WILL NOT WORSHIP THE IMAGE 20:10 BECAUSE ONE OF THE COMMANDMENTS SAYS, 20:11 "DON'T DO IT. 20:13 DO NOT MAKE IMAGES AND BOW DOWN." 20:16 DANIEL CHAPTER 6, KING DARIUS MAKES A LAW, 20:19 "I AM TO BE YOUR GOD FOR 30 DAYS," 20:21 JUST 30 DAYS. 20:24 DANIEL SAYS, "I AM NOT GOING TO CLOSE MY WINDOWS 20:26 AND STOP PRAYING TO JEHOVAH 20:29 BECAUSE ONE OF THE COMMANDMENTS SAYS, 20:30 'THOU SHALL NOT HAVE OTHER GODS.'" 20:33 SO HE GOES TO THE LION'S DEN. BUT GOD SAVES HIM. 20:36 GOD SAVES SHADRACH AND MESHACH AND ABEDNEGO 20:39 FROM THE FIERY FURNACE. 20:40 REVELATION 13, 20:41 "WHOEVER DOESN'T WORSHIP THE BEAST 20:43 AND HIS IMAGE CANNOT BUY OR SELL 20:45 AND WILL ULTIMATELY BE KILLED." 20:48 IF WE DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT THE LAW IS, 20:51 THEN HOW ARE WE GOING TO HAVE THE FAITH OF DANIEL, SHADRACH, 20:54 MESHACH, AND ABEDNEGO IN THE LAST DAYS? 20:56 WE'RE GOING TO BE LIKE ALL THE OTHER COMPROMISING, 20:57 WISHY-WASHY PEOPLE WHO SAY, "LORD, LORD," 21:00 BUT THEY'RE NOT REALLY DOING WHAT GOD SAYS. 21:03 SO, YES, IT DOES MATTER, FRIENDS. 21:05 AND THE DEVIL'S VERY CLEVER. 21:07 BACK IN THE DAYS OF SHADRACH, MESHACH, AND ABEDNEGO, 21:10 HE SAID, "I'M GOING TO SEE IF I CAN MAKE A LAW 21:12 AND GET THEM TO BREAK THE SECOND COMMANDMENT." 21:15 AND THEN, IN THE DAYS OF DANIEL, 21:16 WITH DARIUS, HE SAID, "I'M GOING TO TRY AND GET THEM 21:18 TO BREAK THE FIRST COMMANDMENT." 21:20 AND HERE WE ARE, AT THE END OF TIME, 21:21 HE'S GOING TO SAY, "I'M GOING TO GET THEM 21:22 TO BREAK THE FOURTH COMMANDMENT, 21:24 BUT I'LL BE VERY CLEVER. 21:25 I'LL SAY, 'YEAH, GO TO CHURCH, 21:26 JUST DON'T GO THE SEVENTH DAY.'" 21:28 SEE, GOD, HE KEEPS TRYING TO... 21:30 IT'S LIKE WITH DANIEL, YEAH, 21:31 YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORSHIP OTHER GODS FOREVER, 21:33 JUST FOR 30 DAYS. 21:36 JUST SHUT YOUR WINDOWS 21:37 AND DON'T LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE FOR 30 DAYS. 21:40 SEE, THE DEVIL, HE'S VERY CLEVER, 21:43 BUT A COMMANDMENT'S A COMMANDMENT. 21:46 CAN WE BE CERTAIN THAT MODERN DAY, 21:47 WHAT WE CALL SATURDAY, 21:49 IS THE SAME SABBATH DAY THAT JESUS KEPT? 21:51 PEOPLE SAY, "WELL, PASTOR DOUG, CALENDARS CHANGE 21:53 AND HOW DO WE KNOW WHICH DAY IT WAS?" 21:56 READ IN YOUR BIBLE, IT'S PRETTY CLEAR. 21:58 LOOK IN LUKE, FOR INSTANCE, CHAPTER 23, GO TO VERSE 54, 22:02 IT'S NEAR THE END OF LUKE. 22:04 IT SAYS, "THE DAY WHEN CHRIST WAS CRUCIFIED 22:06 WAS THE PREPARATION," WHAT WE COMMONLY CALL FRIDAY, 22:08 THEY CALL IT GOOD FRIDAY "AND THE SABBATH DREW ON... 22:12 AND THEY RETURNED, 22:13 AND PREPARED SPICES AND OINTMENTS, 22:15 AND RESTED THE SABBATH DAY ACCORDING TO THE COMMANDMENT." 22:19 NOW LUKE IS A GENTILE. 22:20 WHY WOULD HE SAY THEY RESTED ON THE SABBATH 22:22 ACCORDING TO THE COMMANDMENT 22:23 IF JESUS TAUGHT THE DISCIPLES THE SABBATH DOESN'T MATTER? 22:26 HOW CAN ANYONE THINK THAT THE DISCIPLES DIDN'T THINK 22:29 THE SABBATH WAS IMPORTANT 22:30 BECAUSE IT WAS SO IMPORTANT TO THEM 22:31 THAT EVEN AFTER JESUS WAS DEAD AND NO LONGER SPEAKING, 22:35 THEY LOOK AT EACH OTHER AND THEY SAY, 22:36 "LOOK, THE SUN IS GOING DOWN. 22:38 WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO FINISH EMBALMING HIS BODY 22:41 BEFORE THE SABBATH, 22:42 SO LET'S JUST DO OUR BEST TO KIND OF WRAP HIM UP. 22:43 WE'LL PUT HIM IN THE TOMB. 22:45 WE WILL COME BACK SUNDAY MORNING AND FINISH. 22:47 WE'RE GOING TO GO HOME AND KEEP THE COMMANDMENT." 22:50 SO WHERE DID THE DISCIPLES EVER GET THE NOTION 22:52 THAT IT DIDN'T MATTER TO JESUS? 22:53 IT WAS SO IMPORTANT TO THEM AND SO IMPORTANT TO JESUS, 22:57 THEY WOULD NOT EVEN FINISH THEIR LABOR OF LOVE 22:59 BECAUSE THE SABBATH WAS APPROACHING. 23:01 AMEN. 23:03 AND THEN ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK 23:04 THEY CAME BACK TO FINISH. 23:05 PRAISE GOD, THE ANGELS HAD ROLLED AWAY THE STONE, 23:08 CHRIST ROSE, 23:09 AND THAT WAS THE FIRST DAY WHICH WAS WHAT? 23:11 EASTER SUNDAY. 23:13 SO, THERE YOU'VE GOT IT, FRIENDS, 23:14 YOU'VE GOT FRIDAY THE PREPARATION DAY, 23:16 SABBATH IS THE DAY. 23:18 DO YOU REALIZE JESUS DIED JUST BEFORE THE SABBATH 23:20 AND HE RESTED FROM HIS WORK OF SAVING MAN? 23:22 HE ROSE SUNDAY MORNING TO CONTINUE HIS WORK 23:25 AS OUR HIGH PRIEST. 23:26 JESUS EVEN KEPT THE SABBATH IN DEATH. 23:29 YEP. 23:31 WHAT BLESSING IS PROMISED BY THE SABBATH COMMANDMENT? 23:36 JESUS SAYS, "COME UNTO ME, 23:38 ALL YOU WHO LABOR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, 23:41 AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST." 23:43 SO EVERY COMMANDMENT OF GOD, 23:46 YOU'VE GOT THE LETTER OF THE LAW 23:48 AND YOU'VE GOT THE SPIRIT OF THE LAW. 23:49 WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE, RIGHT? 23:51 LETTER OF THE LAW SAYS, "DON'T COMMIT ADULTERY." 23:54 THE SPIRIT OF THE LAW SAYS, 23:55 "DO NOT BE THINKING IT IN YOUR HEART." 23:57 LETTER OF THE LAW, "DO NOT KILL, DO NOT MURDER," 24:01 IT ACTUALLY SAYS. 24:02 SPIRIT OF THE LAW, 24:03 "DO NOT BE ANGRY WITH YOUR BROTHER 24:05 OR SISTER WITHOUT A CAUSE." 24:07 LETTER OF THE LAW, "DO NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS." 24:09 SPIRIT OF THE LAW, 24:10 "LET YOUR YES BE YES AND YOUR NO BE NO. 24:12 BE HONEST IN YOUR HEART, IN YOUR COMMUNICATIONS." 24:15 SOME PEOPLE LIE WITH THEIR BODY LANGUAGE. 24:18 JESUS SAID, "BE HONEST." 24:20 LETTER OF THE LAW, 24:21 "REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY TO KEEP IT HOLY." 24:24 SPIRIT OF THE LAW, 24:25 "COME UNTO ME AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST." 24:28 AND, AS PEOPLE GATHER TOGETHER 24:30 TO WORSHIP GOD EVERY SABBATH DAY, 24:33 THERE IS A REST THAT COMES. 24:35 IT REMINDS US THAT HE'S THE GOD WHO CREATED US. 24:39 AND YOU KNOW WHAT THE SALVATION IS ALL ABOUT? 24:41 "I WILL CREATE A NEW HEART WITHIN YOU." 24:44 THE BIBLE SAYS, "WE WILL BE..." 24:45 "OLD THINGS ARE PASSED AWAY, ALL THINGS ARE MADE NEW. 24:48 WE ARE A NEW CREATION IN CHRIST." 24:51 DO WE STILL NEED A DAY OF REST TODAY? 24:54 DO WE STILL NEED A DAY OF WORSHIP? 24:56 THEN DID GOD TELL US 24:57 "I HAVE SET ASIDE AND BLESSED A PARTICULAR DAY"? 25:01 SHOULD WE SAY, "GOD, IT'S NOT CONVENIENT 25:03 TO DO IT THE DAY YOU'VE PICKED, I'M GOING TO PICK MY OWN DAY"? 25:05 WELL, THAT DEPENDS. WHO'S YOUR GOD, YOU OR HIM? 25:09 DO WE DO WHAT GOD SAYS? AMEN. 25:12 HE SAYS, "I HAVE MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH YOU 25:14 ON THE SEVENTH DAY. 25:16 IF YOU LOVE ME, PROVE IT." 25:19 "KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS." 25:20 NOW, BEFORE I GO ANY FARTHER, 25:21 I KNOW SOME PEOPLE ARE HEARING THIS 25:23 AND YOUR MINDS ARE SPINNING. 25:24 YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS 25:25 YOU COULD TEACH IN A REVELATION SEMINAR, 25:27 IT'S INTERESTING TRIVIA. 25:30 PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW, "WELL, YOU KNOW, PASTOR DOUG, 25:32 SO WHEN DOES THIS AGE BEGIN 25:34 AND WHAT DOES THIS SYMBOL IN REVELATION MEAN? 25:37 AND WHAT DOES THAT SYMBOL MEAN? 25:38 OH, THAT'S VERY INTERESTING, VERY INTERESTING." 25:41 BUT, YOU KNOW WHAT'S DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS PRESENTATION? 25:44 WHEN PEOPLE LEARN THE SABBATH TRUTH, THEY GO, 25:46 "WHOA! 25:47 THAT WOULD ACTUALLY AFFECT MY TIME. 25:51 THAT WOULD AFFECT MY LIFE. 25:53 THAT WOULD AFFECT MY SCHEDULE." 25:56 YOU KNOW, MY FATHER, WHEN I WAS GROWING UP, 25:58 HE WAS A MULTI-MILLIONAIRE, HE HAD A LOT OF MONEY. 26:00 HE WAS ALWAYS BUSY. I WANTED TIME WITH MY FATHER. 26:03 AND HE'D SAY, "DOUG, LOOK, I'M BUSY. 26:06 I'VE GOT A LOT I'VE GOT TO DO. HERE'S $5, GO TO THE MOVIE." 26:09 IT WAS EASIER FOR HIM TO GIVE ME A TIP 26:11 THAN TO GIVE ME HIS TIME. 26:13 WOW. 26:15 AND, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES YOU GO, 26:16 "LORD, YEP, PRAISE THE LORD, PRAISE THE LORD." 26:18 BUT WHEN YOU START GIVING GOD YOUR TIME, 26:20 THAT MEANS HE'S REALLY YOUR GOD. 26:22 AND THAT'S WHY THIS SUBJECT IS SUCH A SERIOUS SUBJECT, 26:25 BECAUSE IT REALLY HAS TO DO WITH "IS HE OUR GOD?" 26:28 JESUS SAID, "IF YOU LOVE ME, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS." 26:31 AND HE WANTS TO BLESS YOU, FRIENDS, AMEN? 26:33 AMEN. 26:35 NOW, THIS IS A COMMANDMENT OF GOD. 26:38 HE SAYS, "REMEMBER THE SEVENTH DAY," 26:40 NOT "REMEMBER A SEVENTH DAY." 26:42 THIS IS THE SEAL OF GOD 26:44 BECAUSE THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF GOD'S LAW, 26:46 YOU'VE GOT THE NAME OF GOD, YOU'VE GOT THE WORD HOLY, 26:50 YOU'VE GOT THE CONTEXT OF WORSHIP, YOU'VE GOT TIME. 26:53 THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ARE DIVIDED IN TWO PARTS, 26:56 THE FIRST COMMANDMENTS 26:57 DEAL WITH OUR LOVE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. 27:00 SECOND GROUP, COMMANDMENT CHAPTER, 27:03 NUMBER 5 ON THROUGH 10 DEAL WITH OUR LOVE 27:06 FOR OUR FELLOWMAN. 27:08 IN THE MIDDLE OF GOD'S LAW, THE LONGEST COMMANDMENT, 27:12 IN THE CENTER OF HIS LAW, THE ONLY COMMANDMENT 27:14 THAT BEGINS WITH THE WORD REMEMBER 27:17 IS VERY UNIQUE BECAUSE IT TELLS US 27:20 THAT HE NOT ONLY HAS OUR MINDS, 27:23 HE'S GOT OUR TIME. 27:29 DON'T FORGET TO REQUEST TODAY'S LIFE-CHANGING FREE RESOURCE. 27:32 NOT ONLY CAN YOU RECEIVE THIS FREE GIFT IN THE MAIL, 27:34 YOU CAN DOWNLOAD A DIGITAL COPY STRAIGHT TO YOUR 27:36 COMPUTER OR MOBILE DEVICE. 27:38 TO GET YOUR DIGITAL COPY OF TODAY'S FREE GIFT, 27:41 SIMPLY TEXT THE KEY WORD ON YOUR SCREEN TO 40544 OR VISIT THE WEB 27:46 ADDRESS SHOWN ON YOUR SCREEN. 27:48 AND BE SURE TO SELECT THE DIGITAL DOWNLOAD 27:50 OPTION ON THE REQUEST PAGE. 27:52 IT'S NOW EASIER THAN EVER FOR YOU TO STUDY GOD'S WORD 27:54 WITH AMAZING FACTS, 27:56 WHEREVER AND WHENEVER YOU WANT 27:58 AND MOST IMPORTANT, TO SHARE IT WITH OTHERS. 28:06 AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT 28:08 AS WE TAKE THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST TO THE WORLD. 28:12 WE HOPE YOU'LL JOIN US NEXT WEEK AS WE DELVE DEEP INTO THE WORD 28:15 OF GOD TO EXPLORE MORE AMAZING FACTS. 28:19 ♪♪ 28:22 ♪♪ 28:24 >>THIS PRESENTATION WAS BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE FRIENDS OF THE 28:26 AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY. |
