I believe that the sanctuary has clues on every single major foundational point of doctrine that we hold dear to us. And so tonight, not only are we going to unpack uh things like the investigative judgment, understanding the purpose of the sanctuary, understanding Christ's role and his ministry and what he's doing for us. All of these are mysteries that have been left and given clues uh that we are going to discover tonight. And so we want to join everyone to open your hearts, open your Bibles.

And we are excited for everyone to be able to be blessed tonight uh with the words from the Lord.

[00:06:51]Thank you.

[00:07:03]Good evening everyone. It's indeed a pleasure to be in the sanctuary worshiping on a Wednesday evening. And so to begin our service proper, I invite you all to stand for the prayer.

[00:07:20]Let us pray.

[00:07:22]Most righteous and holy father, we thank you that you have brought us into your sanctuary this evening to worship you.

[00:07:30]We thank you Lord that you've given us a safe and productive day. We thank you that you provided so many blessings for us of which we are not worthy. But we know Lord that because of your love and your mercy and your grace, we are here this evening giving you thanks and praise for all you've done for us. As we come now, Lord, we ask that you will forgive us of all the sins that we have done, both in words and in deeds. We ask, Lord, that our worship will be acceptable in your sight. We ask, Father, that you'll be with others who are on their way. And we ask that you will bless those of us who have gathered to worship you this evening. We thank you, Lord, for your man's servant, Pastor Dottin, who has been spreading the message all over the world. And as he has graced us with his presence here this evening, we ask that it will be no less. We ask that you will continue to anoint him from the crown of his head to the sole of his feet. May the words that he speak be the words that you have given him.

[00:08:35]Words that will draw men and women to worship you, to glorify your name, to surrender to you. Father, we're thankful for the visitors who have come out with us this evening, especially for the first time. We ask, Lord, that you will continue to be with them, that you help, that the words that they hear will pierce their hearts, that they will think about them, and that your Holy Spirit will draw them to surrender to you. Lord, we know that sometimes we speak to persons about your soon coming and they hesitate. But Father, we see all the signs around us are fastful.

[00:09:16]And we believe, Lord, that you're even at the door. So we pray, Lord, that you will help us to be ready and to stay ready and to help those around us to get ready. Father, we ask that you will be with everything that will be done this evening. May it go to your name's honor and glory. be with the praise team as they worship you and may every heart who comes out this evening be blessed. We pray for those online that you will do the same for them. For we ask all in Jesus precious name. Amen.

[00:19:50]A study published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association found that toddlers aged 12 months and older consumed a third of their daily calories from snacking between meals, with the snacks becoming less nutritious as the children got older.

[00:20:06]Dietary patterns low in fruits and veggies and high in sweets and saturated fats began to develop between the ages of 12 months and 24 months. And this pattern tended to be established by 24 months. That's a fact. But there's hope.

[00:20:25]Parents can establish the foundation for a healthy diet early in life when eating habits and preferences are being formed.

[00:20:33]Simple dietary changes such as offering more nutritious snacks can help prevent obesity and chronic disease in our children. So, switch the gummy bear for blueberries and see them growing healthier and happier.

[00:20:51]Many people turn to artificial sweeteners as a way of trimming carbs and calories from their diets.

[00:20:58]But a recent article in the journal Nature indicates sugar substitutes may actually alter the function of bacteria in the human gut in a way that can increase risk for obesity, diabetes, and other chronic disease.

[00:21:14]That's a fact. But there's hope.

[00:21:17]Cutting out sugar isn't hard when you adopt a diet packed with whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, plant-based protein, and good fat.

[00:21:27]A preponderance of research shows this type of meal plan contributes to weight loss, can help cure type 2 diabetes, and prevents heart disease, high blood pressure, and other lifestyle related illnesses.

[00:21:40]So say goodbye to artificial sweeteners and hello to a better health.

[00:21:48]Are you taking heart medicines?

[00:21:51]Medications can give us a false sense of security. Even if a person takes heart medicines, eating a lot of saturated or trans fats, fast and junk foods, red and processed meats, sweets, and processed foods will still increase inflammation and make cardiovascular disease worse.

[00:22:08]That's a fact. But there's hope. A study of more than 31,000 adults found that you can substantially reduce cardiovascular recurrence beyond drug therapy alone by eating a diet rich in vegetables, fruits, and fish, and low in meats.

[00:22:24]A heart-healthy diet reduced their risk of dying from cardiovascular disease by 35%.

[00:22:31]A new heart attack by 14%, heart failure by 28% and stroke by 19%.

[00:22:38]So eat your veggies. A healthy heart starts with a healthy meal.

[00:22:52]The pleasant task is mine this evening to introduce our speaker.

[00:22:58]Have you been blessed since the week started? Yes, we have. Yes, we have.

[00:23:04]There are those who refer to him as a scholar. There are others who refer to him as a walking encyclopedia.

[00:23:14]And then there are others who simply refer to him as the Energizer Bunny from Trinidad and Tobago.

[00:23:23]I speak of none other than Dr. Professor Pastor Clive Dottin.

[00:23:30]We have been blessed by his many messages. He has an engaging way of bringing prophecy alive. And I believe that our congregation is better because of it. Tonight, I can assure you, we'll be no exception. And so I'm asking that at this time, you call a friend if you're online. If you're at home, gather your family together as we seek to examine the sanctuary message together.

[00:24:03]May the Lord bless you. May we continue to look forward to his appearing as we engage in another awesome message from Pastor Dottin. Before that, we will have our theme song.

[00:24:22]Amen. If we could all just stand for a theme song.

[00:24:25]Shine Jesus shine.

[00:24:37]Lord God, light of your love is shining in the midst of the darkness shining.

[00:24:46]Jesus, light of the world, shine upon us. Set us free by the truth you shall bring us. Shine on me.

[00:24:59]Shine on me.

[00:25:03]Shine Jesus. Shine. Fill this land with the Father's glory. Bless.

[00:25:15]Set our hearts on fire.

[00:25:21]Glory flow.

[00:25:24]by the nations with grace and mercy send forth your word Lord and let every light >> Lord I come Lord I come to your awesome presence from the shadows into your radiance by the blood I may enter your brightness search me. Shining, consume all my darkness. Shine on me.

[00:26:01]Shine on me.

[00:26:06]Shine Jesus, shine. Fill this land with the Father's glory. Blaze, set our hearts on fire.

[00:26:23]Oh flow. Flood the nations with grace and mercy. Send forth your word Lord and let >> shine Jesus shine. Shine Jesus shine.

[00:26:43]Fill this land with the father's glory.

[00:26:48]May spirit set our hearts on fire.

[00:27:00]Flood the nations with grace and mercy. Send forth your word, Lord, and let there be light.

[00:27:32]Good night everyone.

[00:27:34]It's a privilege to see all of you and I have to give you a little secret about brother Oscar.

[00:27:44]I have to tell you about him. You know, he was missing the past few nights.

[00:27:50]Called me up. He said, "Well, pastor told me Oscar is taking you out Wednesday evening." So, Oscar carried me this evening to a Greek restaurant.

[00:28:01]And I must tell you the it was very nice.

[00:28:05]>> He's making sure I don't forget him.

[00:28:08]>> I might forget Pastor Thomas, Pastor Quan. All right. I might forget the old praise team always complimenting.

[00:28:16]But I wouldn't forget brother Oscar. So he took me out, you know. So I find a if you find I have a little extra energy, you know where it came from. It came from the Greeks, the Grecian kingdom.

[00:28:30]Now tonight we on the sanctuary. And I would appeal to you that you listen with an open mind because I'll reveal some things tonight that are not generally known. And one of my authors that a wellrespected Adventist scholar MI Andreas perhaps the adults will know more about him but he was a wellrespected author and he had done significant study into the Jewish service.

[00:29:02]Now before I pray I just want to say that this according to the experts the sanctuary service started in 1445 BC.

[00:29:14]Now I bring that date to you cuz that date is important because tonight we're going to talk about the day of atonement. It will be huge in the message tonight and we also going to talk about the feast of trumpets. Now in order of prominence and significance the day of thement was the number one right number one program ministry service in the church at that time the day of atonement running second to the day of atonement was the feast of trumpets and I I I'm going to talk a lot about the feast of trumpets tonight. Okay. And to give you an idea of how the trumpet sounded because if you if you go on YouTube, there are several of what is called the chauffars which means trumpets in our language and it sounded something like this. So could I ask the guys to Yes.

[00:30:25]Listen to it. This is what the Israelites heard for 10 days. Listen.

[00:31:58]loving father, I pray for your grace and mercy as we enter into the sanctuary tonight for that very important topic of the day of atonement.

[00:32:09]So Lord, as I present the topic hatimatva, may your grace be upon me. May the power of your holy ghost keep me tonight and protect me from all forms of evil. This be your prayer in Jesus name.

[00:32:25]As I go into this text, I want to give you a summary of what happened on the day of atonement. All right, day of atonement. Hebrews 9:6 and 7. Now when these things and you have a picture of of the sanctuary, the most holy place there and the veil being pulled aside.

[00:32:46]Now we all know I think those of us especially who grew up in the church knew that this sanctuary service this this day of atonement took place on the 10 day of the seven month. What we generally don't hear much about is what happened in during the 10 days. In other words, what happened before the day of atonement? It was the 10th day of the seven month. So, you had the first day, you had the second day, you had the third day, you had the fourth day, you had the fifth day, you had the sixth day, you had the seventh day, you had the eighth day, you had the ninth day, and you had the 10th day. Now, pay attention to me very carefully here. Let me read a few texts and then I'll give a summary of the service. Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle accomplishing the service of God. So every day of every calendar year, the priests went in the holy place that had the table of showbread. All right, the lamb stands and what have you there. But the priests went into the most holy place. You see it there. but into the second when the high priest alone once every year not without blood which he offered for himself and for the errors of the people. Okay. So the priests went in every day of the year. Went in into the holy place offering sacrifices on behalf of the PEOPLE ON BEHALF of himself also he offered sacrifices.

[00:34:25]But into the second when the high priest alone once every year not without blood which he offered for himself and for the errors of the people. Let me hurry on.

[00:34:36]God can restore his law. Now, you know, I mentioned this that the the law of God is in the sanctuary in heaven. I'm sure I mentioned that the law of God, the original tables of stone is right now.

[00:34:55]Right now as we speak in the sanctuary above the sanctuary that Moses and Aaron and they built I I want I want you to reco remember that the sanctuary they built they got a pattern they got a pattern from God. So God showed Moses the pattern in heaven. So I I want to underscore that tonight that the pattern of the sanctuary didn't come out of anybody's herum scarum ideas human humanly speaking. It came from Moses having a vision being allowed by God to have a vision of the sanctuary in heaven. All right? That was the pattern that Moses and his builders used to build the sanctuary. Now let me tell you something. God can restore his law. So if anybody asks you where the Adventist get this law thing from and the law was nailed to the cross. No, the law was not nailed to the cross. I want to emphasize that the law was not nailed to the cross. YOUR SINS AND MY sins and the sins of the entire planet were nailed to the cross, but not the law. WHY NOT THE LAW? It couldn't be the law that was nailed to the cross. Absolutely not.

[00:36:12]because God is the author OF THE LAW AND THE LAW reflects the perfect purity and the perfect integrity of the law of the character of almighty God. So I I I want us to bear that in mind very quickly.

[00:36:27]Let me go to the story of Susenos Fasalados Pais and Mendes. You will see it there. All right. Pais and Mendes.

[00:36:38]Susenos was the emperor of Ethiopia. Let me tell you how long he was emperor. He was emperor for 25 years. He was emperor from6007 to 1632.

[00:36:50]But he had to step down. He actually resigned, okay, in 1632 because he allowed a Jesuit priest to interfere with his governance and terrorize Sabbath keepers. Now, as far as I know, the only country in the world, pay attention, brethren, the only country in the world where the Sabbath caused a revolution WAS ETHIOPIA. AND BY THE WAY, Ethiopia was faithful to God.

[00:37:26]If I scratch my memory, well, in the second century, Emperor Tiadros was told by the queen of England that they had to send missionaries to civilize Africans.

[00:37:37]All right? And Emperor Tiadros fired back fired back at the Queen of England and told her, "You don't have to civilize us. We have to civilize you because we have always been to the law of God." And let me tell you something.

[00:37:54]No nation, no nation on the face of the earth has been as faithful to the law of God like the nation called Ethiopia.

[00:38:05]No nation. And that and that is in the northwestern se that is in Africa, Northern Africa. Let me tell you about Susen Yos and Feladaros. Felados. Susen Yos was the king. Fascelados was the prince. Now while Susen Yos reigned, he reigned by giving religious freedom to all religions. All right? So he reigned with justice and equity. And he reigned under the time of a cardinal. All right?

[00:38:35]A guy by the name of Pais. All right?

[00:38:38]Well, he was actually a Jesuit priest.

[00:38:41]Not a cardinal. He was a Jesuit priest.

[00:38:44]But he was a decent, honest Jesuit priest. That is what he was.

[00:38:50]Now here what happened? PI came and he died.

[00:38:55]So a new Jesuit priest came. Now you might know about the history of Jesuit priests. They don't have a good history but pa I would dare say on this platform in Apple Creek Church. Pais was a genuine servant of the most high God.

[00:39:12]You know God has people everywhere. You know God has people everywhere. I have told my friends my idea of how the gospel will will take on will accelerate and millions of people imagine if two cardinals announced FROM THE VATICAN.

[00:39:29]IMAGINE IF two cardinals announced to the Vatican that they becoming 7 Adventists and keeping the Sabbath. What an gigantic theological earthquake that will create. Imagine if the prime minister of India, a devout Hindu would get up and say all right that he was now a Sabbathke keeper. Those are just two examples of what would cause a theological earthquake and earth shaking event if ever there was to be one. So Pis died and with him justice died in Ethiopia. with him he died and with him loyalty to the law of God and the next priest was I would say an authentic Jesuit priest because they're not easy characters at all his name was Mendes and he influenced Suken Yos to go against the Sabbath and abolish the Sabbath so people who were keeping the Sabbath would become you know have mercy I I I had a we had a prime minister, an Indian guy, Basio Pandi. He was a friend of mine and when he became prime minister, you had some well-intentioned Adventist came to me and said, "Pastor, I want you to go to Mr. Pande, who was a Hindu, by the way. I wanted to go to Mr. Pande and tell Mr. Pande to pass a law that the Sabbath must be kept by everybody."

[00:41:01]Now, I didn't agree with that. They just tell you the road to hell is paved with good intentions. But if I TOLD MR. PANDY, PASS A LAW whereby everybody must keep one day, then that is religious persecution.

[00:41:16]That is an abuse of religious freedom.

[00:41:18]So I told them they were well intentioned, but the road to hell is paved with good intentions. So Susenot started being emperor of Ethiopia from6007.

[00:41:32]But 1632 he was no longer emperor because there was a revolt in Ethiopia it it as far as I know it's the only place my dear friends in the world where there was a revolution because of the Sabbath. There was a revolt people revolted against the new Jesuit priests and the year was 1632. So what I'm saying to you is you can't destroy the law of God. So I hear people saying and some preachers saying among us that 3:21 AD Constantine abolished the law of God.

[00:42:08]No, that is a Paul statement. NOBODY COULD ABOLISH the law of God. Hear what Dan I didn't hear you say amen. Hear what Daniel 7 says. They will think to change times and laws. Constantine could change his underpants. He could change his t-shirt. He could change his crown.

[00:42:28]We couldn't destroy the law of God. The law of God is eternal. All right?

[00:42:34]Therefore, God is eternal and the law of God must be eternal. Let me run on. Uh the devil is angry when we praise God.

[00:42:43]That is a fact. Not only that, THE DEVIL IS ANGRY when people surrender their lives to Jesus. The devil hates Jesus.

[00:42:52]And that hatred started in heaven.

[00:42:54]Remember what Revelation 12 says? There was war in heaven, the dragon and his angels. He converted one-third of the angels to go against God. Onethird of the angels to go against God. All right?

[00:43:11]But let me tell you something. One with God is a majority. And he was cast out of heaven. And up to now, he regrets those blunders he made. But he wants to see how many people he could go to hell with him because he has this fellacious idea that the more people in hell the less fire for him. That is wrong. God have a special barbecue for him. Are you hearing me breing? So the devil is angry when we praise God. I want you to understand that. All right. Exodus 5:1-8. And afterward, Moses and Aaron went in and told Pharaoh, "Thus said the Lord God of Israel, let my people go that they may hold of peace unto me in the wilderness." Uh, what does verse two say quickly? And Pharaoh said, "Who is the Lord that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the Lord."

[00:44:04]Now, hear what he's saying. I know not the Lord, neither will I let Israel go.

[00:44:12]The English robs the Hebrew of the beauty. What Pharaoh actually said was, "I know not the Lord and I don't have a desire to know the Lord and I never want to have the desire to know the Lord." In other words, he was saying, "God must never be in my agenda." Uh, I MY WHOLE LIFE I don't want to know Jehovah. And Jehovah heard what he was saying. And they said, "The God of the Hebrews had met with us. Let us go, we pray, thee, 3 days journey into the desert and sacrifice unto the Lord our God, lest he fall upon us with pestilence or with the sword. That is what he said. And the king of Egypt said unto them, meaning Moses and Aaron, wherefore do we Moses and Aaron, let the people from their works and get you into your burdens? All right. And Pharaoh said, behold the people of the land and now many, and he make them rest from their burdens. That rest word there, that rest word there, sabatism most that rest word there means specifically and exclusively the Sabbath. Pharaoh wasn't talking about rest on Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday and Friday and Sunday. When he talked about rest there, he was telling Moses, I used to give them Sabbath privileges, but I'm going to stop giving them Sabbath privileges. And then he added another hardship. And Pero commanded the same day the taskmas of the people and their officers, saying, What did he say? All right. He shall no more give the people straw to make brick as he to let them go and gather straw for themselves. NOW HOLD A MINUTE. HOLD A MINUTE HERE. What is the importance of straw and brick?

[00:46:01]Well, the physicists will tell you that in brick construction, the straw increases the pliability, the flexibility of the brick by one/ird. All right? So, he was saying that TO MAKE THE SAME AMOUNT OF STRAW. HELLO. Pharaoh was a tyrant. He was a rhinocerotic vampire. That's what he was. because he wanted them to produce the same number of bricks without providing the straw.

[00:46:33]Before you would give them the straw and the stuff TO MAKE THE BRICK. BUT NOW HE'S saying I ain't giving you NO STRAW.

[00:46:40]YOU HAVE TO GET THE STRAW FOR YOURSELF.

[00:46:43]All right, that's what you have to do.

[00:46:44]And you have to make the same number of bricks. So he gave them added responsibility without giving them added time. He was a beast in human form. and the tail of the bricks which it make therefore he shall lay upon them. He shall not diminish all thereof. So if they are custom producing 100 bricks all right with the straw that will produce the same 100 bricks per day but without the straw. And remember in case you forgot and in case you DIDN'T KNOW THE HEBREWS were the people who built all those pyramids that still survive up to today. It was the Hebrews that did that.

[00:47:22]All right. So let's move on. Pero claved he was not accountable to God. He did not know God and did not wish to know God. Now it's one thing to say he don't know God but to say you never wish to know God that's a very serious thing.

[00:47:38]But you know he perish in the Red Sea, right? God had enough of Pharaoh. Hello.

[00:47:43]There comes a time that God draws the line. And I want to tell those online and I see last night we had a lot of people online. We had at least 1,200 devices online from all over the world.

[00:47:55]And we praise God to that for that. God had enough of Pharaoh. Hear what God told them in Exodus 12:12-14. Send the plague of lies. Send the plague of hailstones. Are you hearing me? Send the plague of darkness for 3 days. Uh turn the waters into blood, lice, and all of that came upon. And every time Pharaoh said, "IF YOU BEG GOD FOR ME AND TELL GOD TO remove this plague, I will remove the plague. Have mercy. I will remove the I I I will let ISRAEL GO." AND AS SOON AS GOD REMOVED the plague, he changed his mind. But God was having enough of Pharaoh. So here what God says. Verse 12. For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast, and against all uh the gods of Egypt, I will execute judgment. I am the Lord. By the way, I want all of you to pay attention. No talking now, but I want to tell you something. God is the Lord, NOT JUST OF THE PLANET, BUT OF THE WHOLE UNIVERSE.

[00:49:04]COME ON, SOMEBODY shout amen. AND HE WILL ALWAYS BE GOD. HE WILL ALWAYS be the king of kings and the lord of lords.

[00:49:12]Let me read the text quickly here what it says. And the blood shall be to you for a token unto the houses where ye are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you when I smite the land of Egypt. In those days, the blood had to be on the doorpost.

[00:49:32]Tonight, my dear friends, uh, while the activity is taking place in the heavenly sanctuary, THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF GOING ON IN the heavenly sanctuary tonight.

[00:49:42]And I want you to bear THAT IN MIND WHILE I'm preaching the everlasting gospel to fear God and give GLORY TO HIM FOR THE HOUR, FOR THE TIME, for the moment of his JUDGMENT HAS COME. WHILE I AM PREACHING THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL, SOMETHING IS TAKING PLACE IN HEAVEN.

[00:49:57]CHRIST IS TELLING HIS FATHER, "MY BLOOD, MY BLOOD. Forgive that brother in Apple Creek Church. Uh, forgive that brother in Toronto Central. Forgive that brother and sister in Trinidad. Uh, Christ is pleading his blood right as he sits at the right hand of God the Father, not Mary the mother of Jesus, not Muhammad, the pioneer OF ISLAM. GOD, my dear friends, Christ is pleading HIS BLOOD right now in heaven. So if you use your imagination, Christ is in heaven having an interface, having a dialogue, having a divine encounter, God the father in heaven, God the son, God the holy ghost.

[00:50:41]Uh that's what is happening in heaven.

[00:50:43]Let me move on to verse 14. And this day shall be unto you for memorial. And he shall keep it a peace to the Lord throughout your generations. He shall keep a peace by an ordinance forever.

[00:50:57]Ladies and gentlemen, let's go to Hebrews. Now, when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God. But where there's a first, there's a second. But into the second when the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself and for the errors of the people. Let me dig deeply into the sanctuary tonight and you will trust my memory of course 10 days. 10 days before the day of atonement. There were 10 days on the 10th day of the seventh month. The first thing I want to tell you is this day number 10 say you're counting donger from one 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 THE FIRST DAY OF THOSE 10 DAYS BEFORE THE DAY OF ATONEMENT.

[00:51:58]What you heard tonight, the Israelites heard and when they blew the chauffear, what we call the trumpets, nations all around would hear. So the nations at that time had an idea of the day of atonement. They had an idea of the high priest went in in the the the the most holy place twice. Now watch this. Not once. On the 10th DAY OF THE SEVEN MONTHS, THE high priest went in twice. Once to offer sins for himself.

[00:52:30]So he had to be a clean man. He had to be a righteous man. He had to have I mean forgiveness for ALL HIS SINS BEFORE HE WENT in the most holy place. Let me tell you something here. You could have five offices, all right, on Apple Creek Church board.

[00:52:48]That wouldn't save you. You have to have a relationship with Jesus Christ >> so the pastor doesn't get a blind or the first elder because they have HIGH POSITIONS. NO, NO, BRETHREN, NO. YOU COULD BE PAYING the most amount of tithe in Apple Creek that will not excuse you from the demands of the law and accepting the righteousness of Jesus Christ. So the priests could not have sinned because let me give you this experience in the next 10 minutes. We hold that slide there. We hold that slide there. So the day the feast of trumpet started on the first day.

[00:53:30]Remember 10 days of the seven month. So the first day of the seven month they blew the feast of uh the feast of trumpets took place. It took place on the first day. It took place on the second day. It took place on the third day. It took place on the fourth day. It took place on the fifth day. It took place in the sixth day. It took place in the seventh day. It took place in the eighth day. It took place in the ninth day. Watch that carefully here. And it took place on the 10th day. That's the first day. SO YOU HAD THE FIRST DAY, YOU HAD THE SECOND DAY, AND BAM, you had the third day.

[00:54:06]What happened on the third day? Now this is very important.

[00:54:11]What happened on the third day?

[00:54:14]Let me tell you what happened the third day. The priest left his home and took up occupation residence in the compound of the temple.

[00:54:27]So after the third day and the fourth day and the seventh day and the sixth day and the seventh day and the 8th night and the ninth day, THE PRIESTS LIVED ON the compound of the temple. So let's go again. the first day and for the next nine days the chauffars were blowing telling the Israelites it's a solemn time it's a sacred time now what did the blowing of the trumpets represent it's not in my powerpoint so I have to tell you what was the blowing of the trumpets representing number one the judgment of God because the 10 day of the seven month like a was like a day of judgment so since JESUS IS IN THE HIGH PRIEST right now. Every day we live is a day of atonement because Christ, hear this. Christ is operating in the most holy place IN THE SANCTUARY IN HEAVEN. NOW THAT'S WHAT HE'S doing now.

[00:55:32]Hear this. So the priest left his home.

[00:55:36]HE LEFT HIS FAMILY. HE LEFT HIS CHILDREN ON THE THIRD DAY AND went to live on the compound. But was the priest, the high priest alone involved in preparation for the day of atonement? No. No, brethren.

[00:55:52]You know who was involved? Pastor Quan, I'll tell you who was involved.

[00:55:59]A retired high priest helped the high priest in the next seven days. And a junior high priest. YOU SAY, "PASTOR, WHY A JUNIOR HIGH PRIEST?" WELL, YOU SEE, ON THE DAY of atonement, if the priest, the high priest that is, went in, have mercy, the holy place with sin in his life.

[00:56:22]You see, God is never taken by surprise.

[00:56:27]God is A GOD THAT PLANS. GOD IS A GOD THAT HAS ALL KNOWLEDGE AND ALL WISDOM.

[00:56:33]So in case on the 10 day, remember I told you the high priest had to go into the most holy place twice on the 10 day of the seven month twice he had TO GO IN ONCE to offer right a sacrifice for himself his own sins. And then WHEN HE CAME BACK OUTSIDE, AND BY THE WAY, WHEN HE WAS INSIDE THE SANCTUARY, the Israelites heard a bell. And once that bell, because you see the bell was tied to his ankles, and there was a rope that stretched from the holy place to the from the most holy place, sorry, to the holy place and to the outer court. So that if THE HIGH PRIEST ONCE THE BELL STOPPED RINGING, THE Israelites knew that the high priest died inside there.

[00:57:21]why he would die inside there if he had sin in his life. NOW LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, ONCE THE BELL KEPT RINGING, the Israelites said, "Praise the Lord."

[00:57:32]The high priest made sure. Now before I go back to the day of atonement, let me come to the the night.

[00:57:39]The ninth night, the high priest was not allowed to sleep.

[00:57:44]So watch this, ladies and gentlemen. the first day and the next nine days was the feast of trumpets. All right, listen to me very carefully here. The first day and the next nine days was the feast of trumpets. Why were the feast of trumpets important? Because when the trumpets blew, the other nations knew that it was a solemn assembly. That there was coming a day, the 10 day of the seventh month, all right? when no sin should be found in any being living including the high priest. The third day the high priest left his home, left his family, left his property and pitch tent around the temple. That is where he would live. But the Friday night the high priest was not allowed to sleep. You say pastor Dr. Pastor Thomas WHY WHY THE HIGH PRIEST WAS NOT ALLOWED to sleep? He was not allowed to sleep because God wasn't trusting his subconscious.

[00:58:48]You know, they say when you I dreamt about a a funeral recently here of a girl who's supposed to get married.

[00:58:55]Well, my grandparents and them had a theory. When they dream about death, that means life. When they dream about a funeral, that means something good. I don't know how they worked out that. All right? I don't know how they worked out that, ladies and gentlemen. But the priest was to spend the night before the day of atonement in an act of CONSECRATION IN AN ACT OF BIBLE STUDY IN AN ACT OF PRAYER. He must meditate uh on the blood OF CHRIST. NOW HOLD A MINUTE THERE BECAUSE WHEN THOSE TRUMPETS BLEW the that that symbolize uh that the recognition of the mercy of God that signifies uh that in when the sanctuary started was 1445 BC and Christ was also born in 1 AD that means that people around knew that when that time turned and Christ came that would be a promise.

[00:59:50]So for 1445 years uh from succeeding generations to generations uh uh when they blew that trumpet people knew that the Israelites expected the coming of the Messiah they knew that he was answering to their needs. Uh because before we pray God knows our needs. Uh it was a sign of the mercy of God. Uh the blowing of the trumpets uh was a sign that the the the divine judgment uh was at hand in 10 days time. And they knew have mercy THAT THE PROMISE OF THE MESSIAH WOULD BE FULFILLED. So the blowing of the trumpets wasn't for entertainment. And when we have music in church, it must not be for entertainment. Amen brothering. It must be because of the sacredness and soy of worshiping God. Let the CHURCH SAY AMEN.

[01:00:40]HALLELUJAH. BROTHERING. HALLELUJAH. NOW WATCH this carefully here. So the high priest are going twice in the day of atonement. Revelation 5:1-6. And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside sealed with seven seals. Have mercy. But the next verse says, "And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, who is worthy to open the book and to loose the seals thereof?"

[01:01:09]That that's the question. And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. Now, somebody told me there was a challenge when I said the 4 and0 elders went with Christ to heaven.

[01:01:25]That is a fact. But apart from them, the other men in heaven, Moses tasted death.

[01:01:33]He wasn't translated because he struck the rock in anger. And that is why he wasn't translated, ladies and gentlemen.

[01:01:40]No man in heaven, not even Moses could open the book. Elijah of Mount Carmel fame and the fire coming on the sacrifice couldn't open the book.

[01:01:51]ENOCH WHO WALKED WITH GOD AND WAS NOT COULD NOT OPEN THE BOOK. NO MAN IN HEAVEN NOR IN EARTH, NEITHER UNDER THE EARTH WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE book needed to look there on. You know, I love the Bible. Come on, if you love the word, say amen. AND I WEPT MUCH BECAUSE NO MAN WAS FOUND WORTHY TO OPEN and to read the book to look thereon. And what happened after that? And one of the elders said unto me, weep not. Hallelujah.

[01:02:18]Your mother, your grandmother died loving Jesus. Weep not. You will see her again once you are right with God. One of the elders said unto me, weep not.

[01:02:28]BEHOLD, THE LION OF the tribe of Judah, the root of David, had prevailed to loose the to open the book and to loose the seven seals thereof. The lion of the tribe of Judah is not hail Salassie. Are you hearing me preaching? To be the lion of the tribe of Judah, you have to be able to turn the water into wine. You have to able to tell Lazarus come forth and he mustn't come first, second, and third. He must come forth. To be the lion of the tribe of Judah, you have to have the ability to take five loaves and two fishes and feed a crowd of 5,000 men plus women and children. To be the lion of the tribe of Judah, you have to be able to cleanse 10 lepers. Nine of them ungrateful like hell. Have mercy. To be the lion of the tribe of Judah, let me tell you something. You have to cause the blind to see, the deaf to hear, and the crippled to walk. Uh to be the lion of the tribe of Judah, you must be 100% man and 100% God. That is the word in JOHN 3:16. FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. Uh I have news for you. The lion of the tribe of Judah wrote his history before he was born. Come on, let me hear you say a loud amen.

[01:03:42]>> HE EXISTED BEFORE HE WAS BORN. You see, Christ was there in eternity past.

[01:03:49]Christ is there right now in eternity PRESENT AND CHRIST WILL BE THERE IN ETERNITY FUTURE. Let the church say hallelujah.

[01:03:58]And I beheld a lo in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts and in the midst of the elders said the lamb as it had been slain having seven horns and seven eyes. Horns refer to power and authority. Seven perfect that means he has perfect authority. He will always have perfect authority. Let say hallelujah. HE WILL ALWAYS HAVE PERFECT AUTHORITY. Eyes revert to knowledge and intelligence. And he has seven eyes. Not only does he have perfect authority and perfect power, he has perfect knowledge and perfect wisdom, which are the seven spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

[01:04:39]Verse 15. And Moses, Exodus 24:15-18, went up into the mount, AND A CLOUD covered the mount, and the glory of the Lord abode upon Mount Si, and the cloud covered it six days, and the seventh day he called unto Moses, all right, out of the midst of the cloud, and the sight of the GLORY OF THE LORD was like a devouring fire on the top of the mountain, the eyes of the children of Israel. And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, have mercy, and got him up into the mount. And Moses was in the mount 40 days and 40 nights. You know, when Moses came down from the mountain, the people of Israel had to shield their faces. I mean, that wasn't the the the authentic that wasn't like if God appeared BEFORE THEM, THEY WOULD die if God appeared before them. It was a reflection of the glory of God. while he was there for 40 days. Uh when God wrote the ten commandments with his very fingers uh hallelujah praying uh and that is why it is eternal that is why it is everlasting while we in heaven we'll be keeping the ten commandments including the Sabbath.

[01:05:51]I told some Pentecostal friends of mine that recently are saying you better start practicing keeping the Sabbath now cuz you have to keep it up there. Amen brethren. Hallelujah. Let's move on and let them make me a sanctuary that I may dwell among them. The experts say that sanctuary was first built in 1445.

[01:06:12]So every time they had the day of atonement, people around knew that the Israelites did that.

[01:06:21]All right? as they anticipated the coming of Christ 1400 years after they started that sanctuary service. Let them make me a sanctuary that I may dwell among them. You know, God wants to pitch tent among us. God wants to be intimate with us. Uh God wants to have a relationship with us. Could I say this?

[01:06:40]There is nothing more that God values more than having a relationship with his people.

[01:06:48]>> I have to remind you and come on.

[01:06:51]God values that more. It makes him happy. All right. LET HIM MAKE ME A SANCTUARY THAT I MAY DWELL AMONG THEM.

[01:06:58]God doesn't want a long distance relationship. God doesn't want a social media relationship. Uh God wants a face-to-face uh heartto-he heart relationship with his people. Have mercy. And I say praise God for that.

[01:07:12]Let me move on quickly. The day of atone told men priests went into the holy place. All right, let's move it there.

[01:07:20]Hebrews 9:1-7. Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service and a worldly sanctuary. Verse two, for there was a tabernacle made.

[01:07:30]The first where was the candlestick and of course the lampstand and the table and the showbread which is called the sanctuary. That's in the first that's in the holy place. And after the second meal, day of atonement, 10 day of the seven month, the tabernacle, which is called the holiest of all, which had the golden sensor, you know the day of atonement, the high priest had to bring blood, right? I'm talking about the second time. The first time he went in there, he had to sprinkle blood too.

[01:07:59]Sprinkled blood before the veil. He had to sprinkle blood on the mercy seat. He had to sprinkle blood brothering on the altar of incense. THAT IS WHAT SEVEN TIMES EVERYTHING, the whole sanctuary.

[01:08:10]which is about seven. So you know we have the second coming, we have the Sabbath, we have the sanctuary. Come on, somebody say amen. Uh so the priests had to do that in the most holy place and once the bell kept ringing as he ministered uh before THE VEIL UH ONCE THE BELL kept ringing they knew THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO USE THE rope and pull HIM OUT BECAUSE IF HE DIED BECAUSE HE HAD sin all right and that CAUSED HIS DOWNFALL IN THE MOST holy place they couldn't dare rush in they would be slaughtered too. HAVE MERCY.

[01:08:47]LORD HAVE MERCY. GOD IS A GOD of mercy, but God is a God of justice also. Did I hear you say amen, brother?

[01:08:55]>> What was inside the ark? The covenant overlaid roundabout with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had mana, and Aaron's rod that budded and the tables of the covenant. That's the ten commandments. When people tell you, where are the ten commandments? Tell them it's up in heaven. Have mercy. All right. in the ark of the covenant there.

[01:09:16]Verse five, and covered with the cherubims of glory, shadowing the mercy seat of which we cannot now speak particularly. Verse six, now when these things were thus ordained, the priest went always into the first tabernacle accomplishing the service of God. But what happened? But then in the second, when the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself and for the errors of the people. Now let me get a little deeper into this. Uh on the day of atonement he had two lambs. One offered for the sins of the people not lambs and he had a goat. He had a goat. The goat was called aazel. He was a scapegoat. So when the sacrifice was accepted and the shakina glory of God around sunset time rested rested INSIDE OF THE MOST HOLY PLACEHED ON THE ARK. IT RESTED ON THE ARK FROM THE TIME FROM THAT IS MY SERMON TITLE TONIGHT.

[01:10:17]FROM THE TIME THE ISRAELITES SAW THE SHAKINA GLORY OF GOD RESTING ON THE MERCY SEAT, they knew the priest WAS OKAY AND THEY WERE okay because if they had sin on that day, they would die.

[01:10:33]That would be the end of their life. Uh so they had to go in the outer court uh having asked for forgiveness of sins the night before, having asked God to forgive them and to justify them and to sanctify them. They had to ask God to be merciful unto them. That is what the blowing of the chauffear was all about.

[01:10:53]Uh divine judgment. But divine mercy, a promise of the Messiah. Praise the Lord.

[01:10:59]Hallelujah. Let the people in a creek say amen.

[01:11:04]>> HALLELUJAH.

[01:11:07]Not without blood which he offered for himself and for the errors of the people. Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you something. The book of Hebrews is about the word better. Hebrews deals with the sanctuary is about the word better. But Christ being common high priest of good things to come by a greater and more perfect tab tabernacle not made with hands that is to say not of this building.

[01:11:38]Let's describe Hebrews.

[01:11:41]Christ is in a better tabernacle.

[01:11:44]the eternal tabernacle in heaven. He's a better high priest. Why? He was affected by sin but never infected.

[01:11:55]>> Now, let me tell you something. The priest brought two sacrifices on the day of atonement. One for himself and the other for his people.

[01:12:07]Ladies and gentlemen, Christ in the days of the Old Testament, the priest was not the lamb and the lamb was not the priest. The priest brought the lamb. But out in heaven, while Christ is interceding for us, he is the lamb.

[01:12:27]In fact, HALLELUJAH.

[01:12:30]CHRIST IS THE lion and he's the lamb.

[01:12:33]He's the lion of the tribe of Judah.

[01:12:35]Come on, somebody say amen. Uh, BUT HE'S THE LAMB OF GOD WHICH TAKES away the sins of the world. He's the lion because he's all powerful. He's the lion because he could be everywhere. HE'S THE LION, BRETHREN, because he has all knowledge and wisdom. BUT HE'S THE LAMB because he was slain from THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD BEFORE ADAM and Eve were created.

[01:12:58]And he was slain on the cross of Calvary.

[01:13:03]So Christ doesn't BRING ALARM. CHRIST IS THE LAMB. COME ON, SHOUT OUT LOUD, AMEN.

[01:13:09]He's a better sacrifice. He offers better blood. He's a better mediator.

[01:13:15]And he's a better judge. Now Christ is several things. He's judge.

[01:13:22]He's sacrificed. He's priest. HE'S CREATOR. HE'S REDEEMER. Praise God for Jesus Christ. If you love Jesus Christ, say amen. Uh if you want to spend eternity with Jesus, shout hallelujah.

[01:13:38]>> Praise the Lord. Hebrews 4:14-16.

[01:13:42]Seeing then that we have a great high priest that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the son of God. Let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmities, but was in all points tempted like as we are. uh yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace uh that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Could I tell you a story?

[01:14:13]When I was in training college, every Friday I used to run away from the university for two reasons. They're doing optional biology and I had done that before.

[01:14:25]Secondly, there was a case have mercy going on called the the Abdul Malik trial.

[01:14:33]Malik had killed two people in Trinidad, buried them alive. You know what the witness said? And he trembled that day because Malik was a horrific criminal.

[01:14:45]He had killed people in England and he had some big shot friends like the Beatles and them. Lord have mercy.

[01:14:53]John Lennon, etc. The witness said before they killed a boy in my territory, Joseph Scarro from Belmont where I grew up, first 19 years of my life, the witness said before Malik inflicted the deadly blow on the neck of the guy. They killed a cow and they drank blood. Lord have mercy. You have young criminals in Trinidad saying no to a soldier and the soldier is the chaplain of the army in Trinidad that he has a tattoo. All right. And every now and then a demonic force awakens a desire on him to kill. And the tattoo is the symbol of the devil.

[01:15:35]All right. Inscribed on his body. He said there's a time he feels to kill and he CANNOT MANAGE THE DESIRE TO KILL. HE CANNOT STOP IT. I KNOW WHAT COULD STOP IT. The blood of Jesus Christ, the Holy Ghost. My dear friends, we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmities, BUT WAS IN ALL POINTS tempted like as we are yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Praise the Lord. Why should we become come boldly? We should come boldly because he's our attorney.

[01:16:14]You know you G, you had a lawyer.

[01:16:17]All right, sir. Lionel Lu, you G remember that. He never lost a case.

[01:16:24]Now, don't ask me why, but he never lost a case.

[01:16:28]But my Jesus have mercy. ONCE YOU APPEAL TO HIM, he will defend you with perfection.

[01:16:37]>> Did I hear you say amen, brother? Not only will he defend you, he will send this Holy Ghost to transform your life.

[01:16:44]Have mercy. He's our priest. HE'S OUR JUDGE and he's our king. And he's the attorney that in the last 6,000 YEARS HAS NEVER LOST A CASE. So if you're on the side of Jesus, you on the winning side. Praise the Lord. Let me move on. Uh there told men three weeks, sorry, three priests.

[01:17:06]the current high priest, the retired high priest, and the junior high priest.

[01:17:11]They will help the priest clean the vessels. Uh they'll have new showbread prepared to go on the table in the most holy place. Uh they would make sure that the the lambstand and the candlesticks were shining brilliantly, everything without spot. That is what they would make sure ladies and gentlemen three priests but only the high priest could go in the most holy place twice on the day of atonement. And the night before he was not allowed to sleep. All right?

[01:17:40]He had to focus on God. He had to meditate. Sin had to be crowded out and kicked out and chased out of both his conscience and his subconscious brain.

[01:17:49]And then he would emerge strong after A NIGHT OF PRAYER. HELLO. PRAYER changes things. Come on, say a loud amen, brethren.

[01:18:00]>> Prayer. We're not getting to heaven without a life of prayer. Because we can't change without a life of prayer.

[01:18:06]We can't change without the power of the Holy Ghost. Let's run on the shakina glory rest on the mercy seat between the cherubims. If the sacrifice was accepted, that's the second sacrifice.

[01:18:18]Christ is our high priest in heaven.

[01:18:21]Brothering, I don't know about you, but I love Jesus Christ.

[01:18:26]>> If you love Jesus Christ, could you let the devil hear you? Say, "Hallelujah."

[01:18:30]Loud, loud, loud.

[01:18:33]>> Yes. Christ made us. Then he came back and died for us. Now he's interceding for us. And he'll come back to take us home in a land where we will never grow old. Brother, I want to be in that number. Come on. Now, do you want to be in that number when the saints go marching home? I want to be in that number when the saints go marching home.

[01:18:54]My last text, and the temple of God was open in heaven. And there was seen in his temple, the ark of his testament.

[01:19:01]That's the ark. And there were lightnings and voices and thunderings and an earthquake and great hail. The glory of God was reflected in Moses' face. And when he left the mountaintop and came down, people had to bail THEIR FACES. AND MOSES HIMSELF HAD TO veil his face because of the awesome glory of almighty God. And that glory was just a reflection of the glory of God. No wonder they say no man could see God and live. Have mercy. The temple of God was opened in heaven. And there was seen IN HIS TEMPLE THE ark of his testament.

[01:19:39]What is the testament? The ten commandments. And there were lightnings and voices and thunderings and an earthquake and great hail. Brethren, please remember that Christ is in the most holy place now in heaven. Every day is like antitypical day of atonement.

[01:20:00]Every day the books are opened. The book of life, the book of death, have mercy, and the book OF REMEMBRANCE. EVERY DAY THERE'S activity around those books.

[01:20:13]EVERY DAY NOW, RIGHT NOW, HEAVEN IS NOT ASLEEP. Uh there is activity taking place. There's creative activity.

[01:20:22]Somebody told ME ONE DAY, PASTOR, THIS earth was the last planet that God created. I said, where you got that? I said, open your Bible to Revelation 23:1.

[01:20:35]He said pastor he tried to find he didn't know his Bible revelation only asked 22 chapters are you hearing me preaching only asked 22 chapters he looking for that brothering may I suggest this to you it is a theological necessity for God to create for God to be God he has to keep creating come on say amen and by the way there's a universe of spectators watching what is taking place on planet earth the you know there was a time I I am a science man. I taught science for 10 years. You know the scientists used to say NO PLANET IS INHABITED RIGHT NOW.

[01:21:15]NO H PLANET IS INHABITED. THIS IS THE ONLY PLANET THAT HAS BEINGS on it. Now they have changed. You know what the scientists are saying now? There are billions of planets that could support life. That is what they are saying. cuz I have told you adnauseium huh that God DOES NOT HAVE TO CATCH UP WITH SCIENCE. Science has to catch up with God. And let me tell you something, the beings in all these planets, these billions of planets. Oh, the beings on all these planets, they anticipating the soon coming of Christ. Not because they will be saved, but they want to connect with their brothers and sisters on planet Earth. That's why Isaiah 66 says 22 and 23, from one new moon to another, and one Sabbath to another shall all flesh come to worship before me. Let me let me tease your imagination, your cortical acreage. Let me tease it. You could imagine that first Sabbath in heaven when all THE BEINGS OF ALL THE PLANETS THAT GOD HAS CREATED WHEN ALL OF us have a Sabbath fellowship together.

[01:22:31]Hallelujah.

[01:22:33]Eating fruits from the tree of life.

[01:22:35]Have mercy. Praising God. Having a chat with Noah uh on Flood Street. having a chat with Stephen on Stone Avenue on Persecution Boulevard. Could you imagine brothering having a chat with Paul and Silas on that first Sabbath? Uh, I let nothing stop me, brother, from getting to the heavenly kingdom. And I tell Apple Creek, I only have one more sermon to preach in the night and one on Sabbath. Let nothing block you from salvation. Uh, from spending eternity with Jesus, uh, not rock music. Are you hearing me preaching? Uh, not gambling, not smoking. those online, THOSE NOT YET BAPTIZED, WE HAVE A BAPTISM on Sabbath coming. Let nothing stop you FROM RECEIVING THE BLOOD OF CHRIST BECAUSE THERE IS A FOUNTAIN FILLED WITH BLOOD THROWN FROM EMANUEL'S veins uh and sinners plunge beneath that blood lose all their guilty stains. Brethren, if you have an attitude of gratitude for the blood of Christ, shout amen. UH >> SHOUT PRAISE THE LORD.

[01:23:42]HALLELUJAH. PRAYING. Praise the Lord.

[01:25:32]>> Do not do not pass me by >> before we see the second sing the second verse.

[01:25:42]Before >> we sing the second verse, I just want to ask you, having heard the message tonight, if right now if your name should come up in the Holy of Holies in the heavenly sanctuary, you would like to be vindicated by the blood of Christ.

[01:26:11]Now, right now, you would like to receive forgiveness of your sins.

[01:26:18]See, in case tonight should be our last night when Jesus comes, when the trumpet sounds and the dead in Christ rise first, we want to be in that number.

[01:26:31]When the saints go marching home, we want to say, "Lord, this is our God.

[01:26:37]We have waited for him and he will save us.

[01:26:42]If you in here would like to be in that number, but you want to have the guarantee of that tonight because there's a lot of movement going on in the most HOLY PLACE RIGHT NOW in heaven. I want you to come to the altar as we sing the second verse. If you want to be that number when the saints go marching home, I want you to come to the altar. Let me at thy dawn of mercy.

[01:28:13]Thou art.

[01:28:19]Do not >> do not pass me by.

[01:28:29]>> Heads bowed, eyes closed. If there's anyone would like to make a complete surrender tonight, you're in need of baptism.

[01:28:40]You're in need of the power of the Holy Ghost to change your life. The baptism is on Sabbath coming. you online, you can be involved too in that baptism.

[01:28:51]You want God to work a miraculous experience in your life, you can seek forgiveness of sins tonight. You could plead to God to send the Holy Spirit to give you the capacity, the resilience to overcome the temptations of Satan.

[01:29:10]We have a Bible worker right here. And if you want to surrender your whole life to God on Sabbath after I pray, you can see him right here. All right? And take that card. If you have a relative not yet saved and you want that relative to be saved, you can take that card on behalf of the relative. Shall we pray?

[01:29:34]Loving Savior, loving God of mankind, redeemer, creator, judge, lamb, attorney.

[01:29:45]Lord, we thank you for dying on a cross and bleeding for us, suffering excruciating pain on the cross that we can't, words cannot describe what you suffered, but you did it for us.

[01:30:04]BECAUSE OF YOUR LOVE FOR US.

[01:30:07]As you said in the Bible, as I live, said the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked might repent and turn from his wicked ways.

[01:30:19]Loving God, save thy people tonight.

[01:30:23]Those who are worried about their salvation, help them to realize there's peace and power in the name of Jesus.

[01:30:32]Lord, we pray for those who are not here. We pray for those online who need to surrender to you.

[01:30:39]Lord, we pray and we hope that they will make the according and election sure now because only you know the future and only you know if we be if we would be alive tomorrow.

[01:30:56]So Lord save thy people.

[01:30:59]Lord, transform your people.

[01:31:03]And so until Friday night when the subject will be from Gdara to Armageddon, have faith in God. Jesus is your best friend. Have faith in God. He will love you till the end. Have faith in God. He saves you by his grace. Have faith in God. One day we shall see him pass the pace. Have faith, dear friend, in God.

[01:31:29]You may return to your seats for the closing exercise. You may return to your seats for the closing exercise.

[01:32:02]Amen. Were we blessed or were we blessed >> tonight? I think probably one of my favorite things that uh Dr. Dotton brought out was this idea that when we are with God, with God, God plus one is enough, he said. And he made it very clear for us tonight that the issue that we're facing is one of relationship and it is one of worship. We can see that the last thing we want to do is to have a heart like Pharaoh saying, "I don't know the Lord and I have no desire to know the Lord." And so it is my prayer for all of us that as we leave here that our desire will be to know God more, to want to worship him, and to want to allow him to do his perfect will in our lives. Uh so as was mentioned earlier, there are refreshments downstairs, so please feel free to stay and mingle. Uh we do still have some prizes for uh this Friday session coming up. uh some wonderful books that delve into topics of spirituality and the answers that the Bible has about our lives. A quick reminder that tomorrow there will be no session. Again, there is no session tomorrow, but you definitely do not want to miss Friday because Friday evening, we are going to be jumping straight into the end. We've already been delving into Revelation, but we're going to be looking at answers about final days, Armageddon, what is the end of the world really going to look like? The Bible has clear details about it, and we're excited for how Dr. Dawson is going to break that down to us. Uh so until then, uh we will say another short prayer to close off. Dear heavenly father, please take us safely to our respective destinations. We thank you that we could gather here to safely listen to your servant. Give us information and wisdom from you about the final days and about prophecy. Lord, open our hearts as we enter into uh the final days of the week and as we prepare for your Sabbath.

[01:34:09]These things we pray in Jesus' name.

[01:34:11]Amen.
