WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:00.580 ♪ 00:10.280 --> 00:11.780 And greetings, friends. 00:12.140 --> 00:16.360 Welcome to Tomorrow's World program, where we give you powerful insights into 00:16.360 --> 00:20.080 today's news and the prophecies of tomorrow's world. 00:20.540 --> 00:23.360 I'm going to ask you not to judge me too quickly today. 00:23.540 --> 00:27.940 I know we all judge each other sometimes more than we should, but I'm about to give 00:27.940 --> 00:31.080 you some shocking information which you need to prove. 00:31.380 --> 00:36.040 Information that goes far beyond what most of you have ever understood. 00:36.760 --> 00:41.560 Yet, hopefully, you will be willing to accept new truth if it is proved from your 00:41.560 --> 00:42.420 own Bible. 00:42.880 --> 00:47.580 Do you personally realize that most of the religious holidays which mainstream 00:47.580 --> 00:51.420 Christianity observed come straight out of paganism? 00:51.860 --> 00:57.120 Do you realize that God Himself gave an entire series of holy days which Christ 00:57.120 --> 00:59.100 and the apostles did observe? 00:59.100 --> 01:03.540 Which have been effectively trashed by mainstream Christianity? 01:03.920 --> 01:07.220 Do you know which days you should observe and why? 01:07.660 --> 01:08.460 Stay tuned. 01:10.060 --> 01:10.560 ♪ 01:39.280 --> 01:44.690 My friends, when the true Jesus Christ of the Bible comes again, He is going to 01:44.690 --> 01:49.190 instruct the entire world about God's true holy days. 01:49.190 --> 01:52.470 Notice what your own Bible clearly says. 01:52.750 --> 01:53.950 Go get your Bible. 01:54.510 --> 01:58.230 Think about the inspired Word of God and what it actually says. 01:58.650 --> 02:01.110 Check up on me, please, and prove these things. 02:01.230 --> 02:02.910 Again, I don't ask you to believe me. 02:02.990 --> 02:05.010 You don't have to believe me as another man. 02:05.490 --> 02:08.750 Believe what you read in the pages of your own Bible. 02:09.250 --> 02:11.950 Turn, if you have your Bible handy, to Zechariah. 02:12.750 --> 02:14.270 Zechariah chapter 14. 02:14.550 --> 02:18.970 And remember, Zechariah was one of those prophets that Christ referred to, 02:19.190 --> 02:21.710 certainly part of the inspired Word of God. 02:21.850 --> 02:24.150 Jesus had lived by every Word of God. 02:24.710 --> 02:28.330 And the only Word of God back then was what we call the Old Testament. 02:28.570 --> 02:33.110 Here it is, Zechariah chapter 14, a kind of a bridge book building right 02:33.110 --> 02:35.990 over into the New Testament, when you understand it. 02:36.470 --> 02:38.390 Zechariah 14, verse 1. 02:38.810 --> 02:43.050 Behold, the day of the Lord is coming, and your spoils will be divided in your 02:43.050 --> 02:47.350 midst, for I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem. 02:48.110 --> 02:48.830 That's terrible. 02:48.990 --> 02:52.450 It's going to be another time when Jerusalem is going to be under siege in 02:52.450 --> 02:54.790 the next several years of your life. 02:55.210 --> 02:58.070 This is going to be an exciting time you're about to live into. 02:58.430 --> 03:02.110 The city will be taken, the houses rifled, the women ravished. 03:02.550 --> 03:06.910 Half of the city will go into captivity, but the remnant of the people shall not be 03:06.910 --> 03:08.150 cut off from the city. 03:08.630 --> 03:12.810 Then the Lord will go forth and fight those nations as He fights in the day of 03:12.810 --> 03:13.150 battle. 03:13.150 --> 03:19.090 And in that day, His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, right here on this 03:19.090 --> 03:19.350 earth. 03:19.430 --> 03:20.150 I've been there. 03:20.450 --> 03:21.710 Many of you have been there. 03:22.030 --> 03:25.470 Christ is going to turn with total power to Jerusalem. 03:25.810 --> 03:26.690 Think about it. 03:27.050 --> 03:31.390 Picture the Mount of Olives and Jesus returning to that very spot. 03:31.610 --> 03:36.310 For Jerusalem will soon be the capital of this world, my friends. 03:36.490 --> 03:40.970 And countless millions will come there, not just for political or national 03:40.970 --> 03:45.970 reasons, but to worship God on His holy days. 03:46.290 --> 03:47.910 What are those days? 03:48.290 --> 03:50.670 Notice verse 9 now, this same chapter. 03:51.230 --> 03:53.910 And the Lord shall be king over all the earth. 03:54.390 --> 03:59.170 Yes, it tells us back in Revelation 11, 15 and other scriptures, He's going to be 03:59.170 --> 04:01.870 king of kings over the whole world, all the nations. 04:02.410 --> 04:03.910 He'll be king over the whole earth. 04:03.970 --> 04:07.530 And in that day, it shall be, the Lord is one and His name is one. 04:07.690 --> 04:09.030 Notice verse 16. 04:09.550 --> 04:14.410 And it shall come to pass that everyone who has left of all the nations and just 04:14.410 --> 04:17.090 got through saying earlier that all the nations will be fighting. 04:17.370 --> 04:21.150 The vast majority will be involved in this war against Jerusalem. 04:21.730 --> 04:26.810 It will come to pass that everyone who has left of all the nations which came against 04:26.810 --> 04:30.750 Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King. 04:30.930 --> 04:33.430 Christ will be there, the Lord of hosts. 04:33.870 --> 04:35.990 And to keep, keep what? 04:36.410 --> 04:36.950 Christmas? 04:37.150 --> 04:38.450 To keep Easter? 04:39.150 --> 04:40.890 To keep April Fool's Day? 04:41.470 --> 04:42.310 Think about it. 04:42.450 --> 04:45.170 To keep the Feast of Tabernacles. 04:45.470 --> 04:46.950 You say, Feast of Tabernacles? 04:47.090 --> 04:47.730 That's weird. 04:48.130 --> 04:49.390 Most of you never heard of it. 04:49.430 --> 04:50.130 I know that. 04:50.430 --> 04:54.410 I grew up in a mainstream church for the first 19 years of my life and I never 04:54.410 --> 04:55.030 heard of it. 04:55.150 --> 04:59.170 But here it is and it's all the way through your Bible when you understand it. 04:59.470 --> 05:01.310 To keep the Feast of Tabernacles. 05:01.510 --> 05:03.830 That's what the whole world is going to do. 05:04.470 --> 05:09.470 Whichever families of the earth do not come up to Jerusalem to worship the King, 05:09.590 --> 05:11.190 there will be no rain. 05:11.410 --> 05:17.470 If the family of Egypt will not come up and enter in, they shall have no rain. 05:17.870 --> 05:19.590 They shall receive the plague. 05:20.450 --> 05:25.210 If people won't listen, if there's no rain, then God will send a plague which 05:25.210 --> 05:31.150 the Lord strikes the nations who do not come up to keep, not to watch the Jews 05:31.150 --> 05:35.150 keep, but themselves to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. 05:35.150 --> 05:40.790 This shall be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do 05:40.790 --> 05:44.030 not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. 05:44.230 --> 05:44.710 Wow! 05:45.090 --> 05:46.790 This is the wave of the future. 05:46.910 --> 05:50.470 The whole world is going to do this in a very few years, my friend, when you 05:50.470 --> 05:50.990 understand. 05:51.850 --> 05:56.330 You need to understand the difference between the pagan holidays of this world 05:56.330 --> 06:01.470 and God's true holy days that the Bible describes over and over again. 06:02.070 --> 06:04.810 Because it does make a big difference to God. 06:04.810 --> 06:06.010 Don't think it doesn't. 06:06.110 --> 06:07.510 It's a big thing with God. 06:07.890 --> 06:13.370 Otherwise, why would He begin to plague the nations of the earth if they did not 06:13.370 --> 06:14.970 keep the Feast of Tabernacles? 06:15.250 --> 06:18.050 It is a major thing with the great God. 06:18.330 --> 06:21.330 So please understand, His holy days are important. 06:21.650 --> 06:24.270 For your own sake, please think about that. 06:24.770 --> 06:26.770 Notice Hebrews chapter 13. 06:27.070 --> 06:31.510 Hebrews chapter 13 here gives us an indication about Jesus Christ. 06:31.510 --> 06:34.830 He's going to come back as King of kings and Lord of lords. 06:34.950 --> 06:41.170 It says here in Hebrews 13, verse 8, Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, 06:41.590 --> 06:43.290 today, and forever. 06:43.650 --> 06:48.050 The basic laws and ways of Christ have not changed. 06:48.070 --> 06:50.530 And they do not change when you understand. 06:51.230 --> 06:56.770 Now, notice how the Apostle Paul and the Church of God at Corinth kept two more of 06:56.770 --> 06:58.110 God's commanded festivals. 06:58.630 --> 07:00.990 Turn to 1 Corinthians 5, if you would. 07:00.990 --> 07:04.630 1 Corinthians chapter 5 to get this. 07:05.470 --> 07:09.390 Your glory is not good, Paul wrote this New Testament church at Corinth. 07:09.830 --> 07:12.830 Don't you know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? 07:13.310 --> 07:18.410 Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you are 07:18.410 --> 07:19.610 truly unleavened. 07:19.850 --> 07:24.390 Frankly, they were unleavened because they were keeping the days of unleavened bread 07:24.390 --> 07:25.790 when Paul wrote this. 07:26.250 --> 07:30.450 For indeed, Christ our Passover was sacrificed for us. 07:30.450 --> 07:33.250 Therefore, let us keep the feast. 07:33.770 --> 07:38.850 When you understand it, here is a New Testament command to keep the feast of 07:38.850 --> 07:39.570 unleavened bread. 07:39.650 --> 07:40.950 That's what he's talking about. 07:41.270 --> 07:42.470 Not with old leaven. 07:43.110 --> 07:46.530 No, you're to keep it with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. 07:46.890 --> 07:53.450 Again, my friends, let's turn back to Acts chapter 12 now, where another Passover and 07:53.450 --> 07:57.270 unleavened bread observance is described in your Bible because they were observing 07:57.270 --> 07:58.890 these things every year. 07:58.890 --> 08:04.050 The New Testament church was, as these days came around, that God gave. 08:04.430 --> 08:06.170 Acts chapter 12, verse 1. 08:06.210 --> 08:09.590 At about that time, Herod the king stretched out his hand to Harris, 08:09.930 --> 08:10.770 some of the church. 08:11.230 --> 08:13.710 He was trying to stamp out God's true church. 08:14.290 --> 08:18.570 Then he killed James the brother of John with the sword, and because he saw that it 08:18.570 --> 08:22.690 pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to seize Peter also. 08:23.330 --> 08:27.850 So James was killed, and they grabbed Peter, intending to kill him. 08:27.850 --> 08:30.910 Now, it was during the days of unleavened bread. 08:31.790 --> 08:35.290 Why does the Holy Spirit inspire Luke to say that? 08:35.330 --> 08:38.630 Because the church, not the Jews, they weren't following the Jews here. 08:38.710 --> 08:40.130 The Jews were persecuting them. 08:40.350 --> 08:44.350 The church was observing the Passover in the days of unleavened bread. 08:44.910 --> 08:49.590 So when it apprehended him, he put him in prison and delivered him to four squads of 08:49.590 --> 08:54.010 soldiers to keep him, intending to bring him before the people after Passover. 08:54.010 --> 08:59.770 Now, the King James translation mistranslate this in verse 4. 09:00.190 --> 09:05.430 They translate Passover as Easter, and that's the only time in the entire 09:05.430 --> 09:05.790 Bible. 09:05.990 --> 09:10.770 It's the obvious mistranslation, which the newer translators correct. 09:11.030 --> 09:11.830 They know that. 09:12.170 --> 09:16.630 The King James guys stuck it in there, I guess, to try to give some kind of 09:16.630 --> 09:17.850 validation to Easter. 09:18.130 --> 09:19.470 But it's not Easter. 09:19.470 --> 09:24.070 The Greek word is Pascha, always translated everywhere else in the Bible as 09:24.070 --> 09:24.590 Passover. 09:25.150 --> 09:32.510 And interestingly, this mistranslation in verse 4, Acts 12 verse 4, is the only time 09:32.510 --> 09:37.150 that either Christmas or Easter is referred to in the entire Bible. 09:37.610 --> 09:39.230 Christmas is never referred to. 09:39.830 --> 09:40.970 Does that tell you something? 09:41.430 --> 09:42.350 Check it out. 09:42.990 --> 09:47.710 But God's true holy days are mentioned again and again in the Old Testament and 09:47.710 --> 09:49.050 in the New Testament. 09:49.830 --> 09:54.950 At this point, my friends, I invite you to send for a truly eye-opening booklet 09:54.950 --> 09:59.410 entitled, The Holy Days, God's Master Plan. 09:59.770

in verse 6. 11:46.010 --> 11:49.110 The teaching of the apostle Paul for the New Testament church. 11:49.370 --> 11:51.170 A New Testament illustration. 11:52.050 --> 11:56.010 Your glory is not good, Paul wrote this New Testament church at Corinth. 11:56.470 --> 11:59.470 Don't you know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? 12:00.070 --> 12:01.450 Leaven tends to spread. 12:01.830 --> 12:04.130 Therefore, purge out the old leaven. 12:04.130 --> 12:06.190 He tells them, get rid of it. 12:06.310 --> 12:07.770 Leaven is a type of sin. 12:07.870 --> 12:10.550 It tends to spread unless you get rid of it. 12:10.630 --> 12:14.910 And cut it out, that you may be a new lump since you are truly unleavened. 12:15.070 --> 12:19.030 For indeed, Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us. 12:19.550 --> 12:23.510 Therefore, Paul writes, let us keep the feast. 12:23.970 --> 12:25.110 Keep the feast? 12:25.510 --> 12:30.070 Yes, the feast of unleavened bread always came right after the Passover. 12:30.070 --> 12:32.630 And they were obviously observing the Passover. 12:32.910 --> 12:36.650 And he tells them to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the right manner. 12:36.830 --> 12:38.450 Keep the feast, not with old leaven. 12:38.830 --> 12:40.430 No, yes, do put out the leaven. 12:40.770 --> 12:44.910 Nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread 12:44.910 --> 12:46.550 of sincerity and truth. 12:46.950 --> 12:52.170 Again, a New Testament command from God to keep His holy days. 12:52.450 --> 12:55.890 And His holy days, the God's days, have meaning. 12:55.890 --> 12:59.350 But frankly, my friends, the commercialized Christmas and Easter 12:59.350 --> 13:02.670 holidays are absolutely empty by comparison. 13:03.410 --> 13:07.690 Picture the busy Christmas season with all of its advertisements and shopping sprees. 13:08.330 --> 13:12.090 Many people all over feel duty-bound to give presents to other people. 13:12.430 --> 13:16.630 But they often give very little or nothing to Christ or His work at this time. 13:17.430 --> 13:22.850 The holidays of Christmas and Easter came straight from pagan practices originating 13:22.850 --> 13:25.490 hundreds of years before Christ came in the flesh. 13:25.490 --> 13:30.510 Couple this with the fact that the Easter bunny and Easter egg thing is all a matter 13:30.510 --> 13:35.830 of pagan symbols which were used in the heathen rites of sex and fertility in the 13:35.830 --> 13:36.270 spring. 13:36.670 --> 13:39.310 That's why you have Easter bunnies and Easter eggs. 13:39.570 --> 13:43.730 It came right out of paganism, the early sex and fertility festivals. 13:44.250 --> 13:48.270 Additionally, the Good Friday Easter tradition, which is stamped all over 13:48.270 --> 13:53.190 mainstream Christianity, directly contradicts the special sign which Jesus 13:53.190 --> 13:55.710 gave to prove that He was the Messiah. 13:56.090 --> 13:57.170 Think about that. 13:57.530 --> 14:02.550 That's awful to have something that directly contradicts the special sign that 14:02.550 --> 14:03.690 Jesus Christ gave. 14:03.810 --> 14:06.290 Notice, turn with me in your Bible. 14:06.450 --> 14:07.330 Check this up. 14:07.770 --> 14:11.930 Matthew chapter 12, verse 39. 14:12.190 --> 14:16.730 Jesus said, An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, 14:16.850 --> 14:20.630 and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. 14:21.090 --> 14:27.230 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, 14:27.590 --> 14:32.410 so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 14:32.970 --> 14:36.830 The men of Nineveh will rise in the judgment with this generation, 14:37.150 --> 14:39.310 because they repented at the preaching of Jonah. 14:39.310 --> 14:43.390 But people today don't repent at the real preaching of Christ often. 14:43.850 --> 14:45.570 They don't follow what Christ did. 14:45.670 --> 14:47.290 They don't follow what this book says. 14:47.370 --> 14:49.270 They go according to their own tradition. 14:49.990 --> 14:56.490 So the Easter Good Friday teaching denies the very sign Jesus gave that He was our 14:56.490 --> 14:57.090 Messiah. 14:57.790 --> 15:02.870 Yet the biblical holy days of God directly picture the real plan which God is working 15:02.870 --> 15:03.990 out through humankind. 15:04.790 --> 15:07.950 Notice this abbreviated chart on your screen. 15:07.950 --> 15:12.450 We're putting up a chart that gives you an abbreviated picture of at least an 15:12.450 --> 15:16.090 overview of the meaning of the inspired biblical holy days. 15:16.170 --> 15:18.330 You'll get a more complete chart in this booklet. 15:19.050 --> 15:24.050 Note that there are seven religious festivals that God gave the number of 15:24.050 --> 15:24.550 perfection. 15:25.070 --> 15:30.650 First is Passover, and it pictures the death of Christ as our Passover lamb. 15:30.930 --> 15:32.890 That's the first thing in the plan of God. 15:32.890 --> 15:39.010 You've got to really repent and accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and your Lord, 15:39.190 --> 15:40.730 whom you should obey. 15:41.390 --> 15:43.750 Second comes the days of unleavened bread. 15:43.970 --> 15:48.970 They picture the need to put sin out of our lives, to grow in grace and in 15:48.970 --> 15:49.450 knowledge. 15:50.030 --> 15:54.710 Third comes Pentecost, and Pentecost pictures the need for God's Holy Spirit, 15:54.790 --> 15:57.090 and God's Spirit was poured out on that day. 15:57.090 --> 16:02.170 Fourth is Trumpets in the seventh month, picturing the end times. 16:02.410 --> 16:07.630 Trumpets were an alarm of war in ancient Israel, and Trumpets pictures the time of 16:07.630 --> 16:11.130 war and chaos just before Christ's return. 16:11.750 --> 16:17.390 Next comes the day of atonement at one minute, and it pictures Satan's banishment 16:17.390 --> 16:20.870 and the world finally becoming at one with God. 16:20.870 --> 16:25.890 Number six, the sixth day that God gave, the sixth festival, I should say, 16:26.010 --> 16:28.450 is the Feast of Tabernacles, which lasts a week. 16:28.950 --> 16:31.990 It pictures, of course, that we're dwelling in booths temporarily, 16:32.410 --> 16:36.370 looking forward to the kingdom, but it also looks forward to the big end 16:36.370 --> 16:36.770 gathering. 16:37.150 --> 16:41.890 And the Old Testament is called the Feast of End Gathering, the big harvest of souls 16:41.890 --> 16:46.770 during the millennium, when God really does set His hand to open everyone's mind, 16:47.090 --> 16:50.290 and the people in China and India and Africa and everyone will understand. 16:51.090 --> 16:55.950 Seventh, you have the Great White Throne Judgment, and that pictures the time when 16:55.950 --> 17:00.290 billions of human beings who've been blinded, who perhaps never even heard the 17:00.290 --> 17:05.430 name of Jesus Christ, will be given a genuine chance to know the purpose of 17:05.430 --> 17:10.230 life, and to accept Christ as their Lord and their Savior, their boss, whom they 17:10.230 --> 17:10.910 must obey. 17:10.910 --> 17:15.810 They'll be given a real chance, not a second chance, a genuine chance they 17:15.810 --> 17:17.210 have never had before. 17:17.850 --> 17:20.530 My friends, God has a magnificent plan. 17:21.270 --> 17:24.790 This plan is pictured by His inspired holy days. 17:25.210 --> 17:29.650 These are the religious holy days we ought to be keeping, for they picture the true 17:29.650 --> 17:33.690 God and the true plan which He has for us. 17:33.690 --> 17:39.490 A great plan is pictured by these holy days of Almighty God, which most of you 17:39.490 --> 17:40.770 have not ever learned about. 17:41.390 --> 17:46.010 Again, be sure to call or write immediately to request your free copy of 17:46.010 -->

19:17.990 --> 19:22.270 Finally, my friends, I know that most of you out there sincerely want to worship 19:22.270 --> 19:23.790 God in the right way. 19:24.150 --> 19:26.770 You really do, or you wouldn't be following this program. 19:26.770 --> 19:29.130 You want to do what the Bible says. 19:29.210 --> 19:31.390 You say you love Jesus and He's your Lord. 19:31.890 --> 19:36.750 Remember, Jesus said in Luke 6, verse 46, Why call you me, Lord, 19:36.890 --> 19:39.990 Lord, and do not the things which I say? 19:40.370 --> 19:46.270 If Jesus is your Lord, you must do what He says, and you must follow His example. 19:46.630 --> 19:52.070 Because as you read in 1 Peter 2, verse 21, Christ set us an example that we 19:52.070 --> 19:53.550 should follow His steps. 19:53.550 --> 19:55.050 He set the example. 19:55.750 --> 20:00.630 And we have often been deceived, just as I was deceived for 19 years of my 20:00.630 --> 20:05.150 life, about what Christ's true teaching was, what His true example was, 20:05.170 --> 20:07.870 because He kept these holy days we're talking about. 20:08.170 --> 20:09.470 His disciples kept them. 20:09.530 --> 20:11.470 The early New Testament church kept them. 20:11.910 --> 20:14.710 So remember, we've got to do what God says. 20:15.030 --> 20:19.050 The God of the Bible tells us not to follow the traditions of men. 20:19.050 --> 20:23.530 And without realizing it, most of you, very sincere probably, you mean, 20:23.610 --> 20:24.550 well, I know that. 20:24.790 --> 20:27.790 Many of you ministers out there, you just grew up keeping these things. 20:27.850 --> 20:30.330 You take it for granted, just like I did. 20:30.550 --> 20:34.050 But the Bible says don't follow the traditions of men. 20:34.650 --> 20:38.150 Notice what Jesus told the religious leaders of His day. 20:38.450 --> 20:42.950 Turn with me, if you would, to Matthew, Matthew chapter 15. 20:43.270 --> 20:46.870 Matthew chapter 15 in your Bible, beginning in verse 1. 20:46.870 --> 20:50.790 Then the scribes and Pharisees, here are some of the great religious 20:50.790 --> 20:55.530 leaders who are from Jerusalem, came to Jesus saying, Why do your 20:55.530 --> 20:58.330 disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? 20:58.970 --> 21:02.390 Well, the traditions of mainstream Christianity are to keep Christmas and 21:02.390 --> 21:06.550 Easter and all kinds of other things that God never describes in the Bible, 21:06.650 --> 21:08.710 except indirectly as pagan practices. 21:09.410 --> 21:10.950 But why do we do those things? 21:11.290 --> 21:13.850 For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread. 21:13.910 --> 21:15.170 That was one of their traditions. 21:15.170 --> 21:20.530 But He answered and said, Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because 21:20.530 --> 21:22.050 of your tradition? 21:22.750 --> 21:24.870 We must not do that, my friends. 21:25.790 --> 21:30.830 For God commanded, Honor your father and your mother, and he who curses father or 21:30.830 --> 21:32.450 mother, let him be put to death. 21:32.970 --> 21:37.030 God was very strong on any young person who tried to curse or put down in some 21:37.030 --> 21:38.790 awful demeaning way the parents. 21:38.790 --> 21:44.230 But you say, whoever says to his father or mother, whatever profit you might have 21:44.230 --> 21:46.970 received from me has been dedicated to the temple. 21:47.210 --> 21:51.070 They had some way of getting rid of that command, you see, but their tradition and 21:51.070 --> 21:53.830 therefore is released from honoring his father or mother. 21:54.370 --> 22:00.390 Thus, Jesus said, you have made the commandment of God of no effect by your 22:00.390 --> 22:01.010 tradition. 22:01.750 --> 22:07.850 Hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying, These people draw near to me 22:07.850 --> 22:12.510 with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. 22:13.070 --> 22:14.770 In vain they worship me. 22:14.810 --> 22:16.430 Can you worship Christ in vain? 22:16.550 --> 22:16.990 Yes. 22:17.430 --> 22:23.010 In vain they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men. 22:23.510 --> 22:25.370 Think about it, please, my friends. 22:25.370 --> 22:31.870 We end up doing the same thing if we replace God's commanded holy days with 22:31.870 --> 22:36.310 days from paganism, which picture an entirely different concept of God, 22:36.550 --> 22:41.830 an entirely different concept of Jesus Christ, and of God's entire plan. 22:42.490 --> 22:46.330 God has a great plan he's working out that is pictured by these holy days, 22:46.370 --> 22:47.210 as I've shown you. 22:47.370 --> 22:51.690 This booklet tells you that, shows you that, explains that very clearly. 22:51.690 --> 22:58.070 Notice what the mind of God, and this book, the Inspired Bible, reveals God's 22:58.070 --> 23:00.630 mind, the way God thinks. 23:01.090 --> 23:04.950 And these principles, this one principle out of the Old Testament, is not done 23:04.950 --> 23:05.270 away. 23:05.450 --> 23:08.670 This reveals what God thinks today, very definitely, as you'll see. 23:09.010 --> 23:11.070 Turn to Deuteronomy, chapter 12. 23:11.810 --> 23:14.090 Deuteronomy, chapter 12, verse 29. 23:14.090 --> 23:20.950 Jesus told our ancestors, way back here, he says, When the Lord your God cuts off 23:20.950 --> 23:25.150 from you the nations which you go to dispossess, and you displace them and 23:25.150 --> 23:30.130 dwell in their land, ancient Israel, take heed to yourself that you are not 23:30.130 --> 23:35.550 ensnared to follow them after they are destroyed from before you, and that you do 23:35.550 --> 23:37.710 not inquire after their gods. 23:37.710 --> 23:44.410 Now, why would we want to inquire what the pagans did, and put all kinds of paganism 23:44.410 --> 23:46.450 into so-called Christianity? 23:47.090 --> 23:48.010 Think about that. 23:48.150 --> 23:51.750 Don't inquire after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their 23:51.750 --> 23:52.250 gods? 23:52.430 --> 23:54.270 I will also do likewise. 23:55.170 --> 23:59.030 You shall not worship the Eternal, your God, in that way. 23:59.030 --> 24:04.630 For every abomination which the Eternal hates they have done to their gods. 24:04.730 --> 24:07.710 They burn even their sons and daughters in the fire to their gods. 24:08.210 --> 24:11.950 Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it. 24:12.190 --> 24:15.870 You shall not add to it, nor take away from it. 24:16.410 --> 24:16.930 Wow. 24:17.590 --> 24:22.270 You're not to take away from what God tells you to do, and you're not to add to 24:22.270 --> 24:22.510 it. 24:22.510 --> 24:27.250 So why does mainstream Christianity do away with the holy days that Christ 24:27.250 --> 24:31.710 taught, that Christ kept, the apostles kept, and then add an entirely different 24:31.710 --> 24:34.510 set of holidays that have a wrong meaning? 24:35.030 --> 24:37.290 Do not invent your own religion. 24:37.610 --> 24:39.750 God is telling us, We're not supposed to do that. 24:39.850 --> 24:40.270 Please. 24:41.070 --> 24:41.890 I love you. 24:41.950 --> 24:42.750 I want to help you. 24:42.790 --> 24:45.790 But we can't help you by telling you wrong things. 24:46.190 --> 24:49.050 We've got to do what God tells us. 24:49.290 --> 24:51.510 And God is very insistent about that. 24:51.510 --> 24:54.390 Turn to Zechariah chapter 14 again. 24:55.250 --> 24:56.290 Zechariah 14. 24:56.390 --> 24:58.650 Remember how important this is to God. 24:59.170 --> 25:04.090 Zechariah 14, as you remember, in verse 3, says, Christ comes back, 25:04.150 --> 25:06.950 and in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives. 25:07.290 --> 25:11.010 In verse 9, the Lord shall be king over all the earth. 25:11.390 --> 25:12.950 Christ is coming back here. 25:13.270 --> 25:16.030 He's going to stay here for a thousand years, not up in heaven. 25:16.550 --> 25:19.770 And what will the Christ of the Bible do when He comes back here? 25:19.770 --> 25:25.330 It shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against 25:25.330 --> 25:30.230 Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, 25:30.370 --> 25:33.130 and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. 25:33.430 --> 25:39.670 All these nations, the whole world, will be observing these holy days of God. 25:40.290 --> 25:42.550 This is the real wave of the future. 25:42.550 --> 25:49.050 God help you to understand, my friends, and obey your Creator and His inspired 25:49.050 --> 25:49.490 Word. 25:49.770 --> 25:51.330 You really need to do that. 25:51.550 --> 25:55.710 If you're really surrendered to God, you will want to give your life to God. 25:56.090 --> 25:59.250 You will want to let Jesus Christ live His life in you. 25:59.590 --> 26:05.130 As I've often quoted, Galatians 2.20, the Apostle Paul said, I'm crucified with 26:05.130 --> 26:10.670 Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ lives in me. 26:10.670 --> 26:15.690 And the life which I now live in the flesh, I live with the faith of the Son of 26:15.690 --> 26:18.410 God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. 26:18.830 --> 26:23.290 Christ is to live the same kind of life all over in you and me through the Holy 26:23.290 --> 26:23.710 Spirit. 26:23.930 --> 26:26.590 We're not to come up with some other ideas of our own. 26:26.790 --> 26:29.570 Say, we love you, but we're going to worship you the way we want. 26:29.950 --> 26:34.310 No, we're not to add to or take from what God tells us in the Bible. 26:34.310 --> 26:37.330 We're to live by every word of God. 26:37.430 --> 26:40.290 Jesus said, Luke 4, verse 4. 26:40.550 --> 26:45.490 Again, my friends, be sure to call or write immediately to request this powerful 26:45.490 --> 26:46.030 booklet. 26:46.370 --> 26:50.810 Very,
