00:00jay carper here from american torah and i finally started reading charlie kirk's last book
00:07stop in the name of god last thing he wrote before he was murdered and i'm only about two
00:17chapters into it but i think there's a lot of stuff in here that i want to talk about
00:21i don't agree with everything of course i don't agree with anyone on everything but
00:27some definitely some things in here worth addressing first thing i want to mention is
00:33in the introduction he's telling a story about a pastor friend of his and his friend is encouraging
00:40him to keep the sabbath and he says i am way too busy for that i don't have time to keep the sabbath
00:45i've got to be on calls i've got to be preparing for my next event so much to do and his friend says
00:52i think you need to drop everything for a day god will honor that look at it as a test of your faith
00:58well he did it and it god really did honor it and it is it really did work out well for charlie
01:07while he was able to keep the sabbath and certainly kept it long enough to
01:12to write a book about it he was certainly very impressed with the process
01:16but this isn't just fantasy it's not just somebody's opinion
01:20i want to read to you from exodus
01:23the first command that god gave the hebrews about the sabbath was before mount sinai
01:29the sabbath
01:30he expected them to keep the sabbath before he gave the ten commandments
01:35it is not part of the sinai covenant
01:37it is not part of the levitical covenant
01:39so anyone who tells you that the sabbath was done away with
01:43because some covenant was done away with
01:45is wrong
01:46i'm going to be charitable and say they're
01:48not lying to you they're just mistaken
01:50and let me read this to you
01:53this is
01:54before
01:55moses went up mount sinai to get the commandments
01:58and so it was on the sixth day that they gathered twice as much bread
02:02two omers for each one
02:03and all the rulers of the congregation came and told moses
02:06then he said to them
02:08this is what yahweh has said
02:10tomorrow is a sabbath rest a holy sabbath to yahweh
02:13bake what you will bake today and boil what you will boil
02:16and lay up for yourselves all that remains
02:18to be kept until morning
02:20now remember that they weren't supposed to keep
02:24any of the manna more than a day
02:26whatever they collected that morning
02:28they were required to use it that day
02:30because if they kept it overnight it would spoil
02:32now moses is telling them that on the sixth day
02:35go ahead and collect twice as much
02:36god will provide twice as much
02:38and keep it to use the next day
02:40so they laid it up till morning as moses commanded
02:45and it did not stink
02:46nor were there any worms in it
02:47then moses said
02:49eat that today for today is a sabbath to yahweh
02:52today you will not find it in the field
02:54six days you shall gather it
02:56but on the seventh day of the sabbath
02:58there will be none
02:59now it happened that some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather
03:03but they found none
03:04and yahweh said to moses
03:05how long do you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws
03:08before god had given moses any commandments or laws
03:13see for yahweh has given you the sabbath
03:17therefore he gives you on the sixth day bread for two days
03:20let every man remain in his place
03:22let no man go out of his place on the seventh day
03:24so the people rested on the seventh day
03:27god honored their faith to keep his sabbath
03:35even before they kept it by giving them twice as much on the sixth day
03:38those who refused to honor that refused to take advantage of it
03:43and tried to collect more manna on the seventh day
03:45well it rotted
03:46they didn't keep any from the previous day
03:49they tried to get more and it just didn't work
03:51they ended up with less
03:52than the people who took the seventh day off
03:55i'm not telling you that you should keep the sabbath
03:58because it's going to make you rich
03:59that you're going to be materially better off
04:02that's not the point
04:03keep the sabbath
04:05because god wants you to
04:06he wants you to spend a day with him
04:08not just any day
04:10a particular day
04:11notice that
04:13none of the hebrews got to pick which day
04:15they were going to collect double manna
04:17it only came on the sixth day for everyone
04:20no manna was to be collected on the seventh day
04:24by anyone
04:25nobody got to say
04:27well monday is going to be my sabbath
04:29or sunday is my sabbath
04:31no
04:32it's god's sabbath
04:34it's not yours
04:35you don't get to change it
04:36you don't get to set the date
04:37and it has to be on the same day for everyone
04:40or god's principles don't work
04:42it's like a law of the universe
04:45keep the sabbath
04:46keep it out of faith to yahweh
04:48not because you're going to get something out of it
04:50but because you believe in him
04:52keep his sabbath
04:55and he will honor you
04:56he will bless you
04:58i can't promise it's going to be material blessings
05:00but you will be blessed
05:01i guarantee it
