Hello, Happy Sabbath Day.
-
This is Sybria with the World Mission Society, Church of God,
-
glorifying Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. So today we are
-
gonna study the commands of God and rules of men.
-
So we should always diligently study the scriptures.
-
Until the morning star rises in our hearts.
-
The Bible says, so we're gonna study continually until that happens.
-
In going to.
-
Ecclesiastes twelve, verse thirteen, let's first start with Proverbs nine.
-
Before that, go to Proverbs nine, verse ten. The fear
-
of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the
-
knowledge of the Holy One is in sight. So the
-
fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, and the
-
knowledge of God is insight.
-
So to fear God is is wisdom in the Bible.
-
Us, Then how do we fear God?
-
Ecclesiastes twelve thirteen.
-
The end of the matter, all has been heard, Fear
-
God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole
-
duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment,
-
with every secret thing, whether good or evil. So all
-
has been heard, Fear God and do what keep his commandments,
-
for this is the whole duty of men. So if
-
we keep God's commandments, then we can show God. We
-
could show that we fear God. We could come to
-
fear God, and that is the beginning of wisdom. So
-
keeping God's commandments, fearing Him in wisdom are all hands
-
in hand. Then what about people that choose to keep
-
the rules of men Matthew thirteen, verse thirty four. All
-
these things Jesus said to the crowd empowerables. Indeed, he
-
said nothing to them without a powerable. This was to
-
fulfill what was spoken by the prophet. I will open
-
my mouth in powables. I will utter things that has
-
been hidden since the foundation of the world. So this
-
is God's secret wisdom spoken in through powerables. With with wisdom,
-
God created the foundation of the world, and there's secrets
-
hidden since since then that are spoken of empowables. So
-
these are secrets hidden since the creation of the world.
-
Then what secret has been hidden since the creation of
-
the world. Jesus said, this is why I speak them parables,
-
because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do
-
not hear, nor do they understand. But the disciples came
-
and said, why do you speak them empoables?
-
And he answered them.
-
To you, it has been given to know the secrets
-
of the Kingdom of Heaven, but.
-
To them it has been not been given.
-
This is why it speaks them empowables, because seeing they
-
do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor
-
do they understand. To them reveals the experts and the law.
-
At the time of Jesus, the disciples were able to understand.
-
Though he spoke in parables. It was hidden to scholars
-
at that time, and even at this time it's hidden
-
to people as well.
-
What people are is the parables.
-
Hidden too, is kept from Isaiah twenty nine, verse eleven.
-
And the vision of all this has become to you.
-
Like the words of a book that is sealed. When
-
men give it to one who can read, saying read this,
-
he says I cannot urt is sealed. And when they
-
give the book to one who cannot read, saying read this,
-
he says I cannot read. And the Lord says, because
-
these people draw near with their mouth and honor me
-
with their lips, while their hearts are far from me,
-
and their fear of me is a commandment twelt by men. Therefore, behold,
-
I will again do wonderful things with this people with
-
wonder upon wonder, and the wisdom of the wise shall perish,
-
and the discernment of this discerning men shall be hidden.
-
So God is able to do this, keep wisdom from people.
-
And this whole vision, this whole Bible prophecy, is hidden
-
to people who keep the rules of men.
-
This vision is talking about the Bible.
-
Because the men, because people kept rules of men, God
-
took away their wisdom. It's just like a sealed book
-
to them. Two Timothy three, verse sixteen. All scripture is
-
breathed out by God, and profitable for teaching, shouldn't for
-
a reproved for correction.
-
And for training and righteousness.
-
The Man of God may be complete, equipped for every
-
good work. All scripture is breathed out by God. So
-
it's God's prophecy that is sealed to them because they
-
keep the rules of men. Daniel twelve, verse one to four.
-
At that time shall arise Michael, the Great Prince, who
-
has charge of your people.
-
And there shall be a time.
-
Of trouble such as never has been since there was
-
in nation till that time. But at that time your
-
people shall be delivered everyone whose name shall be found
-
written in the book and many of those who sleep
-
in the dust of the earth shall a weak, some
-
to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
-
Those who are wise shall.
-
Shine like the brightness of the sky above, and those
-
who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever.
-
But you, Daniel, shut up the words and steal the book.
-
Until the time of the end, many shall run to
-
and fro, and knowledge shall increase. Conceal the words. If
-
steal up the words till the end, it's good. That's
-
why God said seal up the words. If he didn't
-
seal them up, they then the people wouldn't be able
-
to come understand.
-
The words and learn them.
-
But because God sealed up the Bible, people can come
-
read and understand the truth.
-
Daniel twelve or seven to ten.
-
And I heard a man clothed in linen, who was
-
above the waters of this dream. He raised his right
-
hand in his left hand toward heaven and swore by
-
him who live forever, that it would be for a
-
time times and a half a time, and that when
-
the shattering of the power of the Holy People comes
-
to an end, and all these things will be finished.
-
Then I heard, but I did not understand. Then I said, oh,
-
my Lord, what shall be the outcome of these things?
-
He said, go your way, Daniel, for the words are
-
shut up and stealed. Until the time of the end,
-
many shall purify themselves and make themselves white and be refined.
-
But the wicked shall act wickedly. None of the wicked
-
shall understand. But those who are why shall understand.
-
Here what kind of people are considered wicked to.
-
Those who keep the rules of men, that's wicked in
-
God's eyes. Nehemiah thirteen, verse seven. Nehemiah thirteen, verse seventeen.
-
Then I confronted the nobles of Judah and said to them,
-
what is this evil thing you are doing? Profaning the
-
Sabbath day? Did not your father's act in this way,
-
and did not our God bring all this disaster on
-
us and on this city. Now you are bringing more
-
wrath in Israel by profaning the Sabbath. It's wicked to
-
desecrate the Sabbath in God's eyes. Why the whole vision
-
is sealed. It's not just the Sabbath, which is one
-
of God's very important commands, but it's all God's commands.
-
Desecrating all God's commands is wicked in.
-
God's eyes Isaiah fifty six.
-
Isaiah fifty six, Verse one, Thus is the Lord, keep
-
justice and do righteousness, For soon my salvation will come,
-
and my righteousness will be revealed. Blessed as a man
-
who does this, and the son of man who holds
-
it fast, who keeps the fat the Sabbath, not profaning it,
-
and keeps his hand from doing any evil.
-
Let not the foreigner who has joined.
-
Himself to the Lord, say, the Lord will surely separate
-
me from his people. And let not the eunuchs say, behold,
-
I am a dry tree.
-
For thus says the Lord to the unich.
-
Who keeps my Sabbaths, who choose the thing that pleases me,
-
and hold fast my covenant, I will give in my
-
house and within my walls a monument and a name
-
better than sons and daughters. I will give them an
-
everlasting name that shall not be cut off. It's not
-
robbery that is evil in God's eyes. Here God is
-
talking about desecrating the Sabbath or any of God's laws.
-
God's commandments.
-
Applies to everyone keeping God's new Covenant. Then we will
-
be blessed, and we will be given an everlasting name.
-
That shall not be cut off. And the foreigners who
-
join themselves to the Lord, to minister to him, to
-
love the name of the Lord, and to.
-
Be a servants.
-
Everyone who keeps the Sabbath and does not profane it,
-
and holds fast in my mind covenant. These that will
-
bring to my holy mountain and makes them joyful in
-
my house of prayer. They're burnt offerings, and their sacrifices
-
will be accepted on my altar.
-
From my house will be called the house of prayer
-
for all peoples.
-
The Lord God, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, declares,
-
I will gather yet others them, besides those already gathered.
-
Second Thessalonians two, verse nine.
-
Second Thessinonians.
-
The coming of the lawless one is by the activity
-
of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders,
-
and with all wicked deception. For those who are perishing
-
because they refuse to love the truth, be and so
-
be saved. So Antichrist Satan has is working through lawlessness.
-
Let no one deceive you in any way, for that
-
day will not come until the rebellion comes first and
-
the man of lawlessness is revealed. The son of destruction,
-
who opposes and exalts himself against every so called God
-
or object or worship, object of worship, so that he
-
takes a seat in the Temple of God, proclaiming himself
-
to be God. Therefore, anybody who believes in falsehood, God
-
sends them a strong delusion so that they may be
-
believe what is false, in order that they may be condemned.
-
You do not believe the truth, but had pleasure and unrighteousness.
-
So if you enjoy not keeping God's commandments, God will send.
-
You a delusion so you could believe the lie. He'll
-
let you enjoy.
-
Enjoy your lie, and stay keeping the rules of men,
-
which was made by Satan.
-
Who to verse three to fifteen.
-
But we ought to always give thanks to God for you, brothers,
-
blood by the Lord, because God chose you as the
-
first first to be saved through sanctification.
-
By His spirit and belief in the truth.
-
For this he called you through our gospels, that you
-
may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. So, then, brothers,
-
stand firm and hold to the traditions that we're taught
-
to by us, either by our spoken word or by letter.
-
So the loyallest one is Satan. Then if we keep
-
the rules of men, we love fies, we love the devil.
-
But people that keep the Sabbath.
-
Day love God, and they will get wisdom from God.
-
And we go to Daniel seven twenty five.
-
Daniel seven.
-
He shall speak words against the most High, and shall
-
wear out the saints of the most High, and shall
-
think to change the times and the law, and they
-
shall be given into his hand for a time times
-
and a half a time. Satan changes the law. The
-
man of lawlessness is the anti Christ. This is the
-
spiritual situation on the earth. We should keep the truth
-
of God's commandments without fail, fear God, and obtain wisdom
-
and understanding, and enter the Kingdom of Heaven, where there's
-
no more death, no more sorrow, no more pain, no
-
more suffering, no more crying, no more pain. This is
-
God's promise to people who keep his commandments.
-
Thank you,
