Hi thanks. I watched most of it.
I have a different format for what I would call hearing Gods understanding a labor of His love to us.
One thing is to not look to wonders or marveling that can cause doubt as in unbelief. (No faith as yes or no.)
Like for instance with Nicodemus, that it seems he did look to wonders marveling . It seemed popular for the unbelieving Jew to look to signs as wonders or signs
with wonders and not the gospel, as it is written.
Jesus in effect to the greatest possible miracle lovingly commanding Nicodemus to marvel not but rather believe, or exercise the faith that comes from hearing God not seen.
John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye
must be born again.
When asked of the disciples when? Revealed in Mathew 24. Jesus refused to give that information but informed them things would be going on as business as usual until the last day , as signs of the times. Not something to wonder about but rather observe. He also warned them not to seek after signs to wonder by .The last was fulfilled. The sign of Jonas and Jesus working, a picture of the gospel. Three days and nights .
Evil generation below no faith coming from God. Natural unconverted mankind (666)
Luke 11:29And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an
evil generation: they
seek a
sign; and there shall
no sign be given it, but the
sign of
Jonas the prophet.For as
Jonas was a
sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the
Son of man be to
this generation.
I believe it would include the sign representing the mark as a literal mark . The mark is the mark of His word. prophecy .His word as a mark will come to pass .
Cain the restless wander recognizing the punishments of no rest (sabbath) from the gospel unlike his brother Abel the first recorded martyr. Was a punishment that only those yoked with Christ could do have a living hope of a incorruptible body new body making our sufferings lighter. .
Genisis 4:13-15 And Cain said unto the Lord, My punishment
is greater than I can bear. Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and
a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me. And the Lord said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the Lord set a
mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
Again mark my living word it is law and not a theosophical theory. It will come to pass.
Cain saw no value in the things of faith the unseen eternal like that of Esau who sold his birth rite for a cup of goat soup .
So then it is not buying and selling the things of this world .But is to buy the gospel truth and sell sell it short .The mark of His word.
Proverbs 23:23 Buy the
truth, and
sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
Electronics seem to be the new god to those who refuse God gives the intellect to make progress . It has become what's your experience as a wonder ? A out of the body (spirits bringing in to ones fleshly mind things to wonder about as experiences ? ) Rather than. . as
it is written in the law and the prophets (sola scriptura)
Thanks for watching the video! It shows you are opened minded, even if we do not share some of the same beliefs.
I believe in the commandments of God are not only literal (do not kill, do not lie, keep the seventh day Sabbath Holy etc.) but in the second covenant we are meant to keep both the literal and spirit of the law. Hebrews 10:16 “This
is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,” God wrote the law with His own hand and now wants us to keeps those laws in our heart (love the law) and minds (honor the law).
Jesus said He did not come to destroy the law:
Mathew 5:
17
“Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. 19
Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches
them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Jesus gave us an example of the spirit of the law and He came to magnify the law in our hearts
Murder begins in the heart Mathew 5:17-26 and so forth Mathew 5:27-30
Same with the 4th commandment. We can not receive rest in God if we do not keep His
literal 4th commandment. The commandment does not just say to rest on the seventh day, it goes further than that:
Exodus 20:8 “Remember the Sabbath day,
to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the
seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who
is within your gates. 11
For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
I am not sure how God could be more clearer on this commandment. He specified this His day to make "Holy" and "Sacred" and asked us to Remember.
In Daniel it says laws and times would change Daniel 7:25 He shall speak
pompous words against the Most High, Shall persecute the saints of the Most High, And shall intend to change times and law.
The 4th commandment is the
only law that is a time (Saturday) and how ironic it is the Lord's HOLY DAY He asked us to REMEMBER. Satan was thrown out of Heaven because he wanted to be God, so making a false day of worship only makes sense and than we have the church admitting to changing God's Holy day not from any Biblical authority!
Quotes from the Catholic Church:
It is well to remind the Presbyterians, Baptists, Methodists, and all other Christians, that the Bible does not support them anywhere in their observance of
Sunday.
Sunday is an institution of the Roman Catholic Church, and those who observe the day observe a commandment of the Catholic Church.
—Priest Brady, in an address, reported in the Elizabeth, NJ ‘News’ on March 18, 1903.
Protestants ... accept Sunday rather than Saturday as the day for public worship after the Catholic Church made the change... But the Protestant mind does not seem to realize that ... in observing Sunday, they are accepting the authority of the spokesman for the Church, the pope.
—Our Sunday Visitor, February 5th, 1950.
Of course these two old quotations are exactly correct. The Catholic Church designated Sunday as the day for corporate worship and gets full credit – or blame – for the change.
—This Rock, The Magazine of Catholic Apologetics and Evangelization, p.8, June 1997
A. They should, if the Scripture were their only rule, wash the feet of one another, according to the command of Christ, in the 13th chap. of St. John; —they should keep, not the Sunday, but the Saturday, according to the commandment, "Remember thou keep holy the Sabbath-day;" for this commandment has not, in Scripture, been changed or abrogated;...
—Rev. Stephen Keenan, A Doctrinal Catechism; New York in 1857, page 101 Imprimatuer
Had she not such power, she could not have done that in which all modern religionists agree with her; —she could not have substituted the observance of
Sunday the first day of the week, for the observance of Saturday the Seventh day,
a change for which there is no Scriptural authority.
—Rev. Stephen Keenan, A Doctrinal Catechism; New York in 1857, page 174
God gave us His commandments and clearly defined His Holy Sabbath being the seventh day. It was even predicted in the Bible about changing His Holy day (although its not changed) which is one of the many reasons I think God started the 4th commandment with the word REMEMBER. The church OPENLY admits they changed the Sabbath day without the authority of the Bible. No one has the authority to change the laws of God and its called blasphemy Luke 10:33 “We are not stoning you for any good work,” they replied, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.”
God is calling us to come back to His true church. The day we will be worshiping Him in heaven Isaiah 66:23
As we enter into end times we all are going to have to make a decision- do we follow God and the simple commandments He gave including the Sabbath day He deemed to be His Holy day from creation Genesis 2:3 or do we worship on the day that was changed by man
clearly documented.
The last days will all be about worship. Who do we worship? I think the mark will not be a literal mark it will be a symbolic mark if we worship God and follow His laws or do we worship man-made traditions.
We all choose- do we get the seal of God or the mark of the beast.
Isaiah 8:16 Bind up the testimony, Seal the law among my disciples.
God’s seal is found in His law. A seal is what makes a document official, and it normally contains three characteristics: Name, Office, and Territory. An example would be “Cyrus king of Persia” in Ezra 1:1.
3. Which of the Ten Commandments contains all the elements of a seal? Exodus 20:11 For in six days the
The Lord made the heaven and earth, the sea, and
heavens and earth and all that in them is.
NOTE: The fourth commandment is the only one that contains all three elements of a seal: (1) “The Lord”—His name, (2) “made”—His office as Creator, (3) “heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is”—His territory
The commandment this is found in is the 4th commandment: Keeping His Sabbath Holy Exodus 20:8
Peter also told us Acts 5:29 But Peter and the
other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men.
1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law
Revelations 22:12-15
Jesus Testifies to the Churches
12 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward
is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega,
the Beginning and
the End, the First and the Last.”
14 Blessed
are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. 15 But outside
are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.
So there is going to be a spiritual battle between the laws of God and the day we worship. You can never go wrong by taking the word of God over man.
There is a lot more on this subject. Some of the reference I used from here:

I pray this will help.
