00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:46.079

Now,<00:14:29.779><c> I</c><00:14:29.879><c> don't</c><00:14:30.159><c> think</c><00:14:30.419><c> that</c><00:14:30.820><c> as</c><00:14:31.080><c> a</c><00:14:31.259><c> community</c>

Well,<00:14:44.620><c> it</c><00:14:44.720><c> ought</c><00:14:44.899><c> to</c><00:14:45.120><c> be.</c>

00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:56.220
The<00:14:54.720><c> Seventh</c><00:14:54.960><c>-day</c><00:14:55.179><c> observance</c><00:14:55.700><c> societies</c>

frequently<00:14:57.019><c> confuse</c><00:14:57.480><c> that.</c>

00:14:58.259 --> 00:14:59.940
Sunday<00:14:58.620><c> is</c><00:14:58.799><c> the</c><00:14:59.000><c> first</c><00:14:59.279><c> day</c><00:14:59.480><c> of</c><00:14:59.620><c> the</c><00:14:59.700><c> week.</c>

00:15:00.379 --> 00:15:01.440
The<00:15:00.539><c> Sabbath</c><00:15:00.700><c> was</c><00:15:00.899><c> the</c><00:15:01.120><c> seventh.</c>

00:15:01.860 --> 00:15:03.919
So<00:15:02.100><c> Sunday</c><00:15:02.259><c> has</c><00:15:02.500><c> nothing</c><00:15:02.779><c> whatsoever</c><00:15:03.139><c> to</c><00:15:03.340><c> do</c><00:15:03.440><c> with</c><00:15:03.580><c> the</c><00:15:03.759><c> Sabbath</c>

00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:05.740
But<00:15:04.980><c> in</c><00:15:05.120><c> the</c><00:15:05.279><c> second</c><00:15:05.440><c> place,</c>

00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:08.320
it<00:15:05.960><c> is</c><00:15:06.200><c> right</c><00:15:06.440><c> that</c><00:15:06.659><c> Sunday</c><00:15:06.960><c> be</c><00:15:07.139><c> the</c><00:15:07.279><c> busiest</c><00:15:07.539><c> day</c><00:15:07.799><c> of</c><00:15:07.940><c> the</c><00:15:08.080><c> week.</c>

00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:10.679
And<00:15:08.799><c> it's</c><00:15:08.899><c> right</c><00:15:09.120><c> that</c><00:15:09.360><c> the</c><00:15:09.580><c> Sabbath</c><00:15:09.779><c> was</c><00:15:10.019><c> the</c><00:15:10.159><c> busiest</c><00:15:10.460><c> day</c>

00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:12.700
of<00:15:10.840><c> the</c><00:15:10.940><c> week</c><00:15:11.179><c> for</c><00:15:11.580><c> God.</c>

00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:17.759
It<00:15:14.559><c> shouldn't</c><00:15:14.740><c> be</c><00:15:14.980><c> a</c><00:15:15.100><c> day</c><00:15:15.220><c> of</c><00:15:15.480><c> being</c><00:15:15.720><c> busy</c><00:15:16.019><c> for</c><00:15:16.320><c> ourselves.</c>

00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:24.000
But<00:15:19.919><c> never</c><00:15:20.279><c> did</c><00:15:20.580><c> God</c><00:15:20.980><c> prohibit</c><00:15:22.179><c> work</c><00:15:22.740><c> for</c><00:15:23.120><c> Him.</c>

00:15:24.059 --> 00:15:27.399
That's<00:15:24.440><c> why</c><00:15:24.679><c> Jesus</c><00:15:25.080><c> was</c><00:15:25.460><c> not</c><00:15:25.820><c> a</c><00:15:26.139><c> Sabbath</c><00:15:26.419><c>-breaker.</c>

00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:29.480
He<00:15:28.220><c> fulfilled</c><00:15:28.860><c> the</c><00:15:29.200><c> Sabbath.</c>

00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:31.320
He<00:15:29.779><c> understood</c><00:15:30.360><c> its</c><00:15:30.679><c> purpose.</c>

00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:33.899
That<00:15:32.100><c> which</c><00:15:32.299><c> He</c><00:15:32.639><c> wrought</c><00:15:32.840><c> on</c><00:15:33.120><c> the</c><00:15:33.320><c> Sabbath</c><00:15:33.559><c> day</c>

00:15:33.899 --> 00:15:35.480
was<00:15:34.299><c> the</c><00:15:34.600><c> work</c><00:15:34.840><c> of</c><00:15:35.159><c> God.</c>

00:15:35.860 --> 00:15:37.779
And<00:15:36.100><c> it</c><00:15:36.220><c> was</c><00:15:36.519><c> absolutely</c><00:15:37.320><c> right.</c>

00:15:37.820 --> 00:15:40.539
We<00:15:37.960><c> should</c><00:15:38.279><c> never</c><00:15:38.679><c> say</c><00:15:39.039><c> that</c><00:15:39.259><c> Jesus</c><00:15:39.620><c> broke</c><00:15:39.960><c> the</c><00:15:40.259><c> Sabbath.</c>

00:15:40.539 --> 00:15:42.779
He<00:15:40.940><c> never</c><00:15:41.500><c> did.</c>

00:15:43.899 --> 00:15:45.600

00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:49.620
You<00:15:45.980><c> may</c><00:15:46.200><c> know</c><00:15:46.419><c> that</c><00:15:46.620><c> Isaiah</c><00:15:47.000><c> 58</c><00:15:47.600><c> tells</c><00:15:47.940><c> us</c><00:15:48.159><c> the</c><00:15:48.360><c> same</c><00:15:48.659><c> truth.</c>

And<00:17:19.299><c> you</c><00:17:19.400><c> can</c><00:17:19.660><c> see</c><00:17:19.839><c> here</c><00:17:20.039><c> from</c><00:17:20.259><c> Isaiah</c><00:17:20.660><c> 58</c><00:17:21.119><c>.13,</c>

00:17:21.900 --> 00:17:24.099
how<00:17:22.039><c> Israel</c><00:17:22.400><c> were</c><00:17:22.599><c> commanded</c><00:17:22.960><c> to</c><00:17:23.200><c> rejoice</c><00:17:23.619><c> in</c><00:17:23.819><c> the</c><00:17:23.940><c> Lord.</c>

00:17:24.140 --> 00:17:25.759
They<00:17:24.259><c> were</c><00:17:24.420><c> to</c><00:17:24.539><c> make</c><00:17:24.759><c> the</c><00:17:24.960><c> Sabbath</c><00:17:25.200><c> a</c><00:17:25.339><c> delight.</c>

00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:26.960
It<00:17:26.059><c> was</c><00:17:26.220><c> not</c><00:17:26.380><c> to</c><00:17:26.519><c> be</c><00:17:26.720><c> irksome.</c>

00:17:27.299 --> 00:17:29.400
They<00:17:27.460><c> weren't</c><00:17:27.680><c> to</c><00:17:28.200><c> moan</c><00:17:28.640><c> and</c><00:17:28.819><c> to</c><00:17:29.079><c> murmur,</c>

00:17:29.480 --> 00:17:32.180
that,<00:17:29.720><c> oh,</c><00:17:29.720><c> we</c><00:17:29.940><c> can't</c><00:17:30.160><c> go</c><00:17:30.319><c> out</c><00:17:30.460><c> to</c><00:17:30.599><c> work</c><00:17:30.779><c> today,</c><00:17:31.200><c> you</c><00:17:31.359><c> know.</c>

00:17:32.420 --> 00:17:34.359
Terrible,<00:17:33.059><c> isn't</c><00:17:33.059><c> it?</c>

00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:36.740
It<00:17:34.940><c> was</c><00:17:35.140><c> to</c><00:17:35.259><c> be</c><00:17:35.460><c> a</c><00:17:35.539><c> delight.</c>

00:17:37.380 --> 00:17:39.420
They<00:17:37.539><c> were</c><00:17:37.819><c> to</c><00:17:38.039><c> resort</c><00:17:38.440><c> to</c><00:17:38.680><c> the</c><00:17:38.940><c> priest</c>

00:17:39.420 --> 00:17:41.940
and<00:17:39.640><c> the</c><00:17:39.920><c> prophet</c><00:17:40.279><c> for</c><00:17:40.559><c> instruction.</c>

00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:44.039
And<00:17:42.460><c> the</c><00:17:42.660><c> faithful</c><00:17:42.920><c> in</c><00:17:43.079><c> Israel</c><00:17:43.339><c> did</c><00:17:43.640><c> that.</c>

00:17:44.180 --> 00:17:47.259
They<00:17:44.440><c> used</c><00:17:44.740><c> the</c><00:17:45.099><c> Sabbath</c><00:17:45.339><c> in</c><00:17:45.779><c> that</c><00:17:46.079><c> way.</c>

00:17:47.980 --> 00:17:49.200
Perhaps<00:17:48.259><c> you</c><00:17:48.380><c> hadn't</c><00:17:48.599><c> thought</c><00:17:48.859><c> of</c><00:17:49.019><c> that.</c>

00:17:49.220 --> 00:17:50.539
What<00:17:49.400><c> did</c><00:17:49.579><c> they</c><00:17:49.779><c> do</c><00:17:49.880><c> on</c><00:17:50.079><c> the</c><00:17:50.319><c> Sabbath?</c>

00:17:50.740 --> 00:17:53.700
Well,<00:17:50.900><c> they</c><00:17:51.019><c> went</c><00:17:51.220><c> to</c><00:17:51.519><c> listen</c><00:17:51.900><c> to</c><00:17:52.119><c> the</c><00:17:52.240><c> word</c><00:17:52.400><c> of</c><00:17:52.660><c> God.</c>

00:17:54.579 --> 00:17:55.880
There's<00:17:54.660><c> just</c><00:17:54.880><c> a</c><00:17:54.960><c> little</c><00:17:55.140><c> hint</c><00:17:55.380><c> of</c><00:17:55.559><c> that</c>

00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:57.180
now<00:17:56.220><c> and</c><00:17:56.460><c> again</c><00:17:56.599><c> in</c><00:17:56.839><c> scriptures.</c>

00:17:57.220 --> 00:17:59.619
One<00:17:57.400><c> of</c><00:17:57.480><c> them</c><00:17:57.660><c> is</c><00:17:58.079><c> in</c><00:17:58.319><c> 2</c><00:17:58.460><c> Kings</c><00:17:58.700><c> 4</c><00:17:59.059><c> and</c><00:17:59.200><c> 23.</c>

00:17:59.660 --> 00:18:00.539
You<00:17:59.799><c> needn't</c><00:18:00.079><c> turn</c><00:18:00.220><c> it</c><00:18:00.359><c> up.</c>

00:18:00.539 --> 00:18:01.420
You<00:18:00.779><c> will</c><00:18:01.039><c> recall</c><00:18:01.279><c> it.</c>

00:18:01.420 --> 00:18:03.980
It's<00:18:01.500><c> when</c><00:18:01.680><c> the</c><00:18:01.900><c> Shunammite</c><00:18:02.299><c> woman's</c><00:18:02.799><c> son</c><00:18:03.059><c> was</c><00:18:03.619><c> sick.</c>

00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:05.819
And<00:18:04.359><c> she</c><00:18:04.539><c> says,</c><00:18:05.000><c> saddle</c><00:18:05.220><c> me</c><00:18:05.460><c> the</c><00:18:05.640><c> ass</c>

00:18:05.819 --> 00:18:07.460
and<00:18:06.160><c> I'll</c><00:18:06.519><c> ride</c><00:18:06.740><c> to</c><00:18:06.900><c> the</c><00:18:07.019><c> man</c><00:18:07.140><c> of</c><00:18:07.339><c> God.</c>

00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:08.480
And<00:18:07.640><c> her</c><00:18:07.700><c> husband</c><00:18:07.880><c> says,</c><00:18:08.240><c> what</c><00:18:08.299><c> for?</c>

00:18:08.579 --> 00:18:10.539
It's<00:18:08.700><c> not</c><00:18:08.940><c> the</c><00:18:09.099><c> new</c><00:18:09.299><c> moon</c><00:18:09.460><c> or</c><00:18:09.640><c> the</c><00:18:09.819><c> Sabbath.</c>

00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:12.680
So<00:18:11.160><c> you</c><00:18:11.319><c> see,</c><00:18:11.460><c> it</c><00:18:11.640><c> was</c><00:18:11.859><c> the</c><00:18:12.019><c> habit</c><00:18:12.279><c> to</c><00:18:12.440><c> go</c>

00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:15.660
and<00:18:13.180><c> seek</c><00:18:13.440><c> the</c><00:18:13.660><c> man</c><00:18:13.819><c> of</c><00:18:14.019><c> God</c><00:18:14.180><c> on</c><00:18:14.359><c> the</c><00:18:14.559><c> Sabbath</c><00:18:14.740><c> day.</c>

00:18:15.819 --> 00:18:17.099
And<00:18:16.079><c> her</c><00:18:16.180><c> husband</c><00:18:16.380><c> couldn't</c><00:18:16.640><c> understand</c>

00:18:17.099 --> 00:18:18.880
why<00:18:17.299><c> she</c><00:18:17.460><c> wanted</c><00:18:17.619><c> to</c><00:18:17.779><c> go</c><00:18:17.859><c> if</c><00:18:17.960><c> it</c><00:18:18.160><c> wasn't</c><00:18:18.359><c> the</c><00:18:18.599><c> Sabbath.</c>

00:18:19.339 --> 00:18:20.799
So<00:18:19.500><c> that's</c><00:18:19.700><c> what</c><00:18:19.839><c> they</c><00:18:20.059><c> did</c><00:18:20.200><c> on</c><00:18:20.380><c> the</c><00:18:20.579><c> Sabbath.</c>

00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:22.539
That's<00:18:21.680><c> one</c><00:18:21.859><c> of</c><00:18:22.019><c> the</c><00:18:22.180><c> customs.</c>

00:18:22.619 --> 00:18:24.140
They<00:18:22.759><c> went</c><00:18:22.940><c> to</c><00:18:23.240><c> seek</c><00:18:23.420><c> the</c><00:18:23.599><c> man</c><00:18:23.740><c> of</c><00:18:23.960><c> God,</c>

00:18:24.359 --> 00:18:25.740
to<00:18:24.599><c> listen</c><00:18:24.920><c> to</c><00:18:25.099><c> the</c><00:18:25.400><c> instruction.</c>

00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:28.299
Just<00:18:26.119><c> as</c><00:18:26.259><c> we</c><00:18:26.519><c> use</c><00:18:26.740><c> our</c><00:18:27.119><c> first</c><00:18:27.440><c> day</c><00:18:27.660><c> of</c><00:18:27.880><c> the</c><00:18:28.000><c> week,</c>

00:18:28.299 --> 00:18:30.559
our<00:18:28.980><c> Sunday,</c><00:18:29.500><c> to</c><00:18:29.640><c> come</c><00:18:29.839><c> to</c><00:18:29.980><c> the</c><00:18:30.119><c> meetings.</c>

00:18:30.740 --> 00:18:32.200
It's<00:18:30.980><c> right</c><00:18:31.220><c> that</c><00:18:31.359><c> it</c><00:18:31.500><c> should</c><00:18:31.640><c> be</c><00:18:31.880><c> busy</c>

00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:33.900
in<00:18:32.579><c> those</c><00:18:32.920><c> right</c><00:18:33.259><c> things.</c>

00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:35.920
And<00:18:34.500><c> it's</c><00:18:34.660><c> right</c><00:18:34.920><c> that</c><00:18:35.059><c> we</c><00:18:35.220><c> should</c><00:18:35.380><c> use</c><00:18:35.619><c> it</c>

00:18:35.920 --> 00:18:36.940
to<00:18:36.140><c> delight</c><00:18:36.480><c> in</c><00:18:36.640><c> the</c><00:18:36.759><c> Lord</c>

00:18:36.940 --> 00:18:39.059
and<00:18:37.079><c> to</c><00:18:37.240><c> rejoice</c><00:18:37.660><c> in</c><00:18:37.839><c> the</c><00:18:38.039><c> Lord.</c>

00:18:40.500 --> 00:18:41.799
Perhaps<00:18:40.799><c> I</c><00:18:40.940><c> might</c><00:18:41.140><c> just</c><00:18:41.319><c> take</c><00:18:41.519><c> a</c><00:18:41.640><c> minute,</c>

00:18:41.940 --> 00:18:42.440
brethren<00:18:42.059><c> and</c><00:18:42.259><c> sisters,</c>

00:18:42.460 --> 00:18:43.819
to<00:18:42.700><c> comment</c><00:18:43.079><c> on</c><00:18:43.299><c> that</c><00:18:43.579><c> phrase,</c>

00:18:43.940 --> 00:18:44.859
rejoice<00:18:44.339><c> in</c><00:18:44.519><c> the</c><00:18:44.660><c> Lord,</c>

00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:47.500
because<00:18:45.380><c> that</c><00:18:45.819><c> also</c><00:18:46.180><c> is</c><00:18:46.400><c> a</c><00:18:46.500><c> little</c><00:18:46.740><c> misunderstood,</c>

00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:51.059
sometimes<00:18:48.319><c> sadly</c><00:18:48.740><c> in</c><00:18:48.900><c> our</c><00:18:49.160><c> own</c><00:18:49.440><c> midst,</c><00:18:49.700><c> isn't</c><00:18:49.980><c> it?</c>

00:18:51.779 --> 00:18:53.259
So<00:18:52.140><c> often,</c><00:18:52.420><c> it</c><00:18:52.640><c> seems</c><00:18:52.819><c> to</c><00:18:53.059><c> me,</c>

00:18:53.259 --> 00:18:55.160
I<00:18:53.460><c> hear</c><00:18:53.619><c> it</c><00:18:53.940><c> said</c><00:18:54.140><c> by</c><00:18:54.400><c> brethren</c><00:18:54.720><c> and</c><00:18:54.960><c> sisters</c>

00:18:55.160 --> 00:18:56.180
who<00:18:55.359><c> ought</c><00:18:55.539><c> to</c><00:18:55.660><c> know</c><00:18:55.839><c> better</c>

00:18:56.180 --> 00:18:58.400
that<00:18:56.359><c> we're</c><00:18:56.819><c> not</c><00:18:57.019><c> a</c><00:18:57.160><c> very</c><00:18:57.460><c> joyful</c><00:18:57.799><c> community,</c>

00:18:58.839 --> 00:19:00.539
and<00:18:58.839><c> our</c><00:18:59.180><c> hymns</c><00:18:59.500><c> aren't</c><00:18:59.759><c> very</c><00:19:00.220><c> joyful,</c>

00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:02.599
and<00:19:00.799><c> we</c><00:19:01.140><c> need</c><00:19:01.359><c> a</c><00:19:01.420><c> bit</c><00:19:01.599><c> more</c><00:19:01.960><c> gladness</c>

00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:04.599
and<00:19:02.880><c> so</c><00:19:03.140><c> on</c><00:19:03.380><c> in</c><00:19:03.940><c> our</c><00:19:04.180><c> worship.</c>

00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:07.480
Well,<00:19:05.559><c> all</c><00:19:05.900><c> right,</c><00:19:06.079><c> that's</c><00:19:06.359><c> fine.</c>

00:19:08.900 --> 00:19:10.579

what<00:21:46.299><c> God</c><00:21:46.539><c> has</c><00:21:46.900><c> shown</c><00:21:47.079><c> us,</c>

00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:49.720
and<00:21:48.200><c> what,</c><00:21:48.680><c> by</c><00:21:48.980><c> His</c><00:21:49.200><c> grace,</c>

00:21:49.859 --> 00:21:52.099
He<00:21:50.059><c> is</c><00:21:50.359><c> doing</c><00:21:50.559><c> and</c><00:21:50.720><c> will</c><00:21:50.940><c> do</c><00:21:51.119><c> with</c><00:21:51.359><c> us</c>

00:21:52.099 --> 00:21:55.339
and<00:21:52.480><c> for</c><00:21:52.779><c> us,</c><00:21:53.380><c> if</c><00:21:53.700><c> we</c><00:21:53.900><c> will</c><00:21:54.099><c> allow</c><00:21:54.319><c> Him.</c>

00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:57.920
So<00:21:55.819><c> the</c><00:21:56.039><c> Sabbath</c><00:21:56.259><c> was</c><00:21:56.759><c> a</c><00:21:57.019><c> cause</c><00:21:57.200><c> of</c><00:21:57.519><c> rejoicing,</c>

00:21:57.980 --> 00:22:00.700
a<00:21:58.079><c> cause</c><00:21:58.299><c> of</c><00:21:58.579><c> delight</c><00:21:59.039><c> in</c><00:21:59.579><c> God.</c>

00:22:01.480 --> 00:22:04.720
Now,<00:22:01.740><c> I</c><00:22:01.960><c> suspect</c><00:22:02.319><c> that</c><00:22:02.619><c> Moses</c><00:22:03.039><c> well</c><00:22:03.740><c> knew</c><00:22:04.099><c> that,</c>

00:22:04.980 --> 00:22:06.359
even<00:22:05.339><c> back</c><00:22:05.640><c> in</c><00:22:05.880><c> Egypt.</c>

00:22:06.599 --> 00:22:08.200
Come<00:22:06.819><c> back</c><00:22:06.980><c> to</c><00:22:07.180><c> Exodus.</c>

00:22:08.579 --> 00:22:10.720
We<00:22:08.859><c> looked</c><00:22:09.039><c> at</c><00:22:09.200><c> chapter</c><00:22:09.559><c> 4,</c>

00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:13.599
where<00:22:11.599><c> Moses</c><00:22:12.059><c> was</c><00:22:12.319><c> sent</c><00:22:12.559><c> to</c><00:22:12.759><c> plead</c><00:22:12.960><c> with</c><00:22:13.339><c> Pharaoh,</c>

00:22:13.799 --> 00:22:15.200
let<00:22:13.960><c> my</c><00:22:14.380><c> son</c><00:22:14.700><c> go.</c>

00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:17.740
Israel<00:22:15.900><c> is</c><00:22:16.160><c> my</c><00:22:16.480><c> son,</c><00:22:16.799><c> my</c><00:22:17.119><c> firstborn.</c>

00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:20.640
Let<00:22:18.299><c> my</c><00:22:18.619><c> son</c><00:22:18.819><c> go</c><00:22:19.099><c> that</c><00:22:19.259><c> he</c><00:22:19.480><c> may</c><00:22:19.720><c> serve</c><00:22:20.200><c> me.</c>

00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:22.319
And<00:22:21.220><c> it</c><00:22:21.359><c> looks,</c><00:22:21.779><c> brethren</c><00:22:21.900><c> and</c><00:22:22.119><c> sisters,</c>

00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:24.359
as<00:22:22.539><c> though</c><00:22:22.839><c> the</c><00:22:23.079><c> next</c><00:22:23.400><c> thing</c><00:22:23.640><c> that</c><00:22:23.839><c> Moses</c><00:22:24.140><c> did,</c>

00:22:24.380 --> 00:22:26.059
and<00:22:24.500><c> we</c><00:22:24.579><c> can't</c><00:22:24.740><c> be</c><00:22:24.940><c> absolutely</c><00:22:25.259><c> certain</c><00:22:25.619><c> about</c><00:22:25.880><c> that,</c>

00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:28.220
but<00:22:26.359><c> here's</c><00:22:26.680><c> a</c><00:22:26.920><c> fascinating</c><00:22:27.500><c> possibility.</c>

00:22:28.579 --> 00:22:30.980
It<00:22:28.740><c> looks</c><00:22:29.019><c> rather</c><00:22:29.319><c> from</c><00:22:29.619><c> Exodus</c><00:22:29.960><c> 5</c>

00:22:30.980 --> 00:22:32.740
as<00:22:31.279><c> though</c><00:22:31.460><c> what</c><00:22:31.779><c> Moses</c><00:22:32.180><c> did</c>

00:22:32.740 --> 00:22:34.640
was<00:22:33.140><c> to</c><00:22:33.460><c> introduce</c><00:22:33.859><c> the</c><00:22:34.200><c> Sabbath</c>

00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:38.019
into<00:22:35.559><c> the</c><00:22:35.900><c> life</c><00:22:36.180><c> of</c><00:22:36.420><c> Israel</c><00:22:36.799><c> in</c><00:22:37.059><c> Egypt.</c>

00:22:38.220 --> 00:22:40.019
Now,<00:22:38.839><c> if</c><00:22:39.000><c> that's</c><00:22:39.400><c> the</c><00:22:39.519><c> case,</c>

00:22:40.299 --> 00:22:42.180
that's<00:22:40.740><c> a</c><00:22:40.880><c> fantastic</c><00:22:41.460><c> thing,</c><00:22:41.779><c> isn't</c><00:22:41.940><c> it?</c>

00:22:42.339 --> 00:22:44.960
Can<00:22:42.480><c> you</c><00:22:42.619><c> imagine</c><00:22:42.940><c> what</c><00:22:43.299><c> Pharaoh</c><00:22:43.500><c> thought</c><00:22:43.759><c> about</c><00:22:44.019><c> that?</c>

00:22:45.700 --> 00:22:48.500
He<00:22:45.900><c> already</c><00:22:46.220><c> thought</c><00:22:46.420><c> that</c><00:22:46.619><c> Moses</c><00:22:46.839><c> was</c><00:22:47.019><c> a</c><00:22:47.160><c> troublemaker.</c>

00:22:49.400 --> 00:22:50.420
But<00:22:49.559><c> here</c><00:22:49.759><c> he</c><00:22:49.940><c> was,</c>

00:22:50.740 --> 00:22:53.420
like<00:22:50.900><c> a</c><00:22:51.160><c> trade</c><00:22:51.420><c> union</c><00:22:51.799><c> leader,</c><00:22:52.259><c> I</c><00:22:52.259><c> suppose,</c>

00:22:53.579 --> 00:22:55.559
standing<00:22:53.859><c> up</c><00:22:54.140><c> for</c><00:22:54.299><c> the</c><00:22:54.500><c> rights</c><00:22:54.779><c> of</c><00:22:54.980><c> Israel,</c>

00:22:55.859 --> 00:22:58.460
championing<00:22:56.480><c> the</c><00:22:56.700><c> cause</c><00:22:56.960><c> of</c><00:22:57.180><c> the</c><00:22:57.460><c> slaves,</c><00:22:57.920><c> you</c><00:22:58.059><c> know,</c>

00:22:58.859 --> 00:23:00.640
and<00:22:59.140><c> making</c><00:22:59.339><c> them</c><00:22:59.579><c> rest</c><00:22:59.900><c> one</c><00:23:00.180><c> day</c><00:23:00.400><c> a</c><00:23:00.480><c> week.</c>

00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:02.140
Can<00:23:00.779><c> you</c><00:23:00.940><c> believe</c><00:23:01.200><c> it?</c>

00:23:02.619 --> 00:23:03.759
They're<00:23:02.859><c> going</c><00:23:02.880><c> to</c><00:23:03.039><c> stop</c><00:23:03.220><c> work</c><00:23:03.440><c> now,</c>

00:23:03.859 --> 00:23:05.720
one<00:23:04.000><c> in</c><00:23:04.180><c> every</c><00:23:04.500><c> seventh</c><00:23:04.759><c> day,</c><00:23:05.259><c> that's</c><00:23:05.579><c> it,</c>

00:23:05.720 --> 00:23:08.559
down<00:23:06.059><c> tools,</c><00:23:06.480><c> chaps,</c><00:23:06.980><c> no</c><00:23:07.140><c> bricks</c><00:23:07.400><c> today.</c>

00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:10.059
It's<00:23:08.920><c> amazing,</c><00:23:09.440><c> isn't</c><00:23:09.579><c> it?</c>

00:23:10.319 --> 00:23:14.099
How<00:23:10.700><c> Pharaoh</c><00:23:10.940><c> must</c><00:23:11.259><c> have</c><00:23:11.460><c> seen</c><00:23:11.700><c> Moses</c><00:23:12.220><c> in</c><00:23:12.759><c> that</c><00:23:13.099><c> light.</c>

00:23:14.359 --> 00:23:15.980
That's<00:23:14.680><c> what</c><00:23:14.799><c> the</c><00:23:15.000><c> record</c><00:23:15.220><c> seems</c><00:23:15.500><c> to</c><00:23:15.680><c> suggest,</c>

00:23:16.140 --> 00:23:19.319
brethren<00:23:16.279><c> and</c><00:23:16.500><c> sisters,</c><00:23:16.579><c> Exodus</c><00:23:16.900><c> 5</c><00:23:17.380><c> and</c><00:23:17.539><c> verse</c><00:23:17.819><c> 5.</c>

00:23:19.519 --> 00:23:20.160
Pharaoh<00:23:19.740><c> said,</c>

00:23:20.480 --> 00:23:22.839
Behold,<00:23:20.900><c> the</c><00:23:20.920><c> people</c><00:23:21.200><c> of</c><00:23:21.359><c> the</c><00:23:21.519><c> land</c><00:23:21.759><c> now</c><00:23:22.099><c> are</c><00:23:22.500><c> many,</c>

00:23:23.059 --> 00:23:25.079
and<00:23:23.319><c> ye</c><00:23:23.519><c> make</c><00:23:23.859><c> them</c><00:23:24.380><c> rest.</c>

00:23:25.299 --> 00:23:27.039
The<00:23:25.440><c> word</c><00:23:25.660><c> is</c><00:23:26.119><c> Sabbath.</c>

00:23:27.140 --> 00:23:29.819
You<00:23:27.460><c> make</c><00:23:27.640><c> them</c><00:23:28.019><c> Sabbath</c><00:23:28.460><c> from</c><00:23:28.759><c> their</c><00:23:29.059><c> burdens.</c>

00:23:30.140 --> 00:23:31.900
What<00:23:30.440><c> right</c><00:23:30.640><c> have</c><00:23:30.839><c> you,</c><00:23:31.019><c> Pharaoh,</c><00:23:31.539><c> is</c><00:23:31.660><c> saying</c>

00:23:31.900 --> 00:23:34.460
to<00:23:32.200><c> tell</c><00:23:32.400><c> Israel</c><00:23:32.759><c> to</c><00:23:32.940><c> rest</c><00:23:33.180><c> one</c><00:23:33.380><c> day</c><00:23:33.579><c> a</c><00:23:33.700><c> week?</c>

00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:36.420
If<00:23:34.960><c> it</c><00:23:35.279><c> doesn't</c><00:23:35.819><c> mean</c><00:23:36.119><c> that,</c>

00:23:36.420 --> 00:23:38.339
and<00:23:36.519><c> we</c><00:23:36.640><c> can't</c><00:23:36.839><c> be</c><00:23:37.160><c> certain</c><00:23:37.480><c> that</c><00:23:37.680><c> it</c><00:23:37.819><c> does,</c>

00:23:38.700 --> 00:23:39.740
but<00:23:38.759><c> if</c><00:23:38.900><c> it</c><00:23:39.019><c> doesn't</c><00:23:39.319><c> mean</c><00:23:39.539><c> that,</c>

00:23:39.740 --> 00:23:42.240
if<00:23:40.339><c> Moses</c><00:23:40.700><c> hadn't</c><00:23:41.140><c> introduced</c><00:23:41.660><c> the</c><00:23:41.940><c> Sabbath</c>

00:23:44.940 --> 00:23:46.559
then<00:23:45.039><c> what</c><00:23:45.240><c> does</c><00:23:45.440><c> it</c><00:23:45.599><c> mean?</c>

00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:48.940
Does<00:23:47.660><c> it</c><00:23:47.779><c> mean</c><00:23:47.960><c> that</c><00:23:48.240><c> Moses</c><00:23:48.519><c> demanded</c>

00:23:48.940 --> 00:23:51.599
they<00:23:49.099><c> should</c><00:23:49.240><c> have</c><00:23:49.420><c> a</c><00:23:49.579><c> five</c><00:23:49.740><c>-minute</c><00:23:49.980><c> coffee</c><00:23:50.279><c> break</c><00:23:50.519><c> each</c><00:23:50.779><c> morning?</c>

00:23:52.180 --> 00:23:54.660
Hardly<00:23:52.579><c> think</c><00:23:52.799><c> so,</c><00:23:53.099><c> brethren</c><00:23:53.299><c> and</c><00:23:53.480><c> sisters,</c><00:23:53.839><c> do</c><00:23:53.880><c> you?</c>

00:23:54.819 --> 00:23:57.480
Pharaoh<00:23:55.099><c> says</c><00:23:55.440><c> that</c><00:23:55.619><c> Moses</c><00:23:55.920><c> was</c><00:23:56.240><c> making</c><00:23:56.579><c> them</c><00:23:56.940><c> rest,</c>

00:23:59.539 --> 00:24:00.619
What<00:23:59.740><c> does</c><00:23:59.980><c> it</c><00:24:00.200><c> mean?</c>

the<00:24:03.079><c> most</c><00:24:03.400><c> likely</c><00:24:03.700><c> thing</c><00:24:03.960><c> that</c><00:24:04.119><c> it</c><00:24:04.259><c> can</c><00:24:04.500><c> mean</c>

00:26:39.680 --> 00:26:42.539
It's<00:26:39.839><c> not</c><00:26:40.299><c> remember</c><00:26:41.160><c> because</c><00:26:41.599><c> you</c><00:26:41.779><c> might</c><00:26:42.019><c> forget</c><00:26:42.299><c> it</c>

00:29:56.079 --> 00:29:59.240
We've<00:29:56.319><c> seen</c><00:29:56.400><c> already</c><00:29:56.779><c> in</c><00:29:56.940><c> Exodus</c><00:29:57.339><c> 31</c><00:29:57.859><c> that</c><00:29:58.000><c> it</c><00:29:58.140><c> was</c><00:29:58.480><c> a</c><00:29:58.700><c> sign</c><00:29:59.019><c> of</c>

Their<00:30:25.140><c> time</c><00:30:25.519><c> was</c><00:30:25.880><c> His.</c>

00:30:26.380 --> 00:30:30.339

00:30:37.140 --> 00:30:43.140
This<00:30:37.539><c> was</c><00:30:38.119><c> His</c><00:30:38.740><c> desire</c><00:30:39.559><c> for</c><00:30:40.059><c> their</c><00:30:40.539><c> rest</c><00:30:41.099><c> and</c><00:30:41.559><c> their</c><00:30:41.940><c> fellowship.</c>
