<TITLE>08. Par 77-88</TITLE>L-77 Now, I do not want to hurt people's feelings, against their religion. That's not my purpose. Out in the fields, I just preach the regular, great evangelical, fundamental doctrines. But in the tabernacle, amongst my children here, I feel I have a right to preach what I think is Doctrine and Truth. See? I think that it's right.

L-78   Now, I have thousands of good Sabbatarian friends, of people who are Seventh-day Adventists. Some of the dearest friends that I got, some of them are Seventh-day Adventists.
Although, the great move of, what's called, the--the Voice of Prophecy, they're firmly against me. They said that I make the statement in the pulpit, and said, "I was God. And that the... and that this Light that followed was an Angel, and I was God. And I come to the world to do great things, to prove people that I was God." Now, that's what the Voice of Prophecy said about me, over in California. And ever who told that, you know, told something that wasn't so.

L-79 But in the first place, not taking up thought against the Seventh-day Adventist church or any other Sabbatarian church, but only for the sake of the Gospel. We're going to get down, in a few minutes, on Pentecost, too. Yeah. True. On Baptist, we're going to get down on that and show that God doesn't favor any denomination. That's right. He only favors the individual. And He doesn't deal with any denomination, He never did and He never will, according to His Word. But He deals with the individuals in every denomination. Yes, it's individuals God deals with.

L-80   Now listen to this real clear, and if ever, any time, that question ever comes up to you, it'll be settled. Now, may the Lord help us.

L-81 Now, closely, "For..." The 4th verse.
For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise,...

L-82 Now watch. He's talking about sabbath. How many knows that the word s-a-b-b-a-t-h in He-... is the Hebrew word that means "r-e-s-t"? How many knows that, in the English? Sure. Don't sabbath sound a funny word? It is.

L-83 Don't sanctify sound a funny word? Sanctify is a Greek word. Sanctify means "to be made holy." Hebrew, means "make holy." Greek, means "sanctify." English, means "make clean."

L-84 Sabbath means "a day of rest." That's what the old sabbath was, a day of rest. When you see rest, it means "sabbath." Look it up in your original manuscript, if you happen to have a Greek Bible, and find out if the word... If you got a Scofield Bible, look at your marginal reading on "rest" and see if it don't bring you back to the sabbath. Sabbath means "rest." All right.

L-85 Now watch.
Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left to us to enter into his sabbath, rest,...

L-86   Now, many people keeps days, like keeps sabbath day Saturday. Others make a Sunday an idol, a worship day. And by the grace of God, and by the God's Word, God help me tonight, I can prove to you that they're both wrong. Both the Sunday worshipper and the sabbath-keeper. They are absolutely both wrong according to the Word. And after all, it's the Word that we have to go by, not by what the Adventists say, or not by what the Protestant says, or the Catholic says. It's what the Bible says.

L-87   Now, now watch.
For he spake in a certain place on the seventh day on this wise,...
Now we're going to put up something like this, and call this--this, "God's Rest," the seventh day.

L-88 Now watch. "And God..." Listen to this Scripture now.
... God did rest the seventh day from all his work.
God had a Sabbath, and that seventh day was one thousand years long, a type of the Millennium.
For he spake... of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest... from all his--his work.
The personal pronoun, "All His works." He rested on the seventh day. That's God.
And in this place, under the law, If they shall enter into my rest.
