GYC SE 2011 Seminar: Music

History Repeats Itself

God’s Instruction on Music

Music, the Sanctuary, and the Judgment

All right, so without any further delay, we want to go ahead and get started into our study.

So as much as you're able to, well, we're kind of stacked up here, so I'm going to kneel.

You just go ahead and reverently bow your heads and let's get ourselves started in our study.

Our Father in heaven, we are grateful for the privilege and the opportunity to come together, to press together, to study, to show ourselves approved unto God that we can be workmen that need not be ashamed, for we have rightly divided your words of truth.

We pray, Lord, that you will please bless us at this time and that you will first forgive us of our sins and that you will also cleanse us from all unrighteousness, that you'll send your Holy Spirit, that he may come and teach us and Help us to truly understand that right now history is being repeated.

We simply want to choose which side of history we shall repeat.

So grant us wisdom and may you open our eyes and help us to behold wondrous things out of your word.

For we ask all these blessings in Jesus' name, amen.

All right, now, our overall class is gonna deal with the topic of music and its role in last day events.

Now, I'm gonna let you know in advance, there is no way that we're gonna be able to cover it all within these 3 seminars that we have.

So while there's gonna be deeper things that we're gonna have to cover, you're gonna find that it's gonna require us to number 1, study to show ourselves approved, but also I have some resources.

So I want you all to make sure that this evening, you visit me at the booth that I'm going to be at because I have something very special that I want to give to each person who has come to our class as it relates to dealing with music, where we can go much, much, much deeper into many things that we're gonna discuss at this time.

But I believe we're gonna get a good enough foundation through the things that we're gonna study today to get us on the right track of knowing how we go further as it relates to understanding music and its role in last day events.

Do you believe that this is a trivial topic?

This is something that is very large and therefore it requires very diligent study.

Now something we're going to cover in this class that I want us to repeat, and we're gonna repeat it at the beginning of every class, is I want us to look at this quotation, which is from Life Sketches 196, and I'm gonna ask if we can all repeat this together on the count of 3123.

We have nothing to fear for the future except as we shall forget the way the Lord has led us and his teaching in our past history.

We have absolutely nothing to fear, nothing, as long as we do not forget the way God has led us.

And therefore, we're gonna look a little bit at history because this study that we're gonna go over right now is talking about history being repeated.

And you're gonna find that this becomes very relevant to you and I because there's many things we're gonna need to look at to really find out, number 1, is history being repeated?

And then number 2, If it is, which side of history am I repeating?

So you're gonna find that this is gonna require a lot of heart searching.

So I want you to pay very close attention to the things we're about to study.

I want you to grab your swords and turn your Bible to the book of Ecclesiastes chapter 1.

And you're gonna find in Ecclesiastes chapter 1, we're going to look at verse 9, and we're going to see what Solomon the wise man has to say to all of us.

And I like this point that he makes here because you're going to find that it pertains even to history.

The Bible says in Ecclesiastes chapter 1, now if you're there please let me know by saying amen.

All right in Ecclesiastes 1 in verse 9, this is what it says and I find this verse to be very interesting.

This verse says, and I'm reading from a King James, it says, the thing that hath been, it is that which shall be.

And that which is done is that which shall be done.

He said, the thing that hath been, that's the past, is that which shall be.

Then he says, and that which is done, that's present, is that which shall be done, that's what?

Future, and then he says there is no new thing under the sun.

And Solomon is kind of 1 of those guys that can honestly say, been there, done that.

Solomon was 1 of those guys who had a lot of experiences that he can truly say, I can truly say under the authority of God that history has a tendency to repeat itself.

Things that have been is that which shall be, that which is done is that which shall be done.

Now, the reason why this becomes important to you and I is because I want you to turn your Bibles to the book of 1 Corinthians chapter 10.

In 1 Corinthians chapter 10 now, We're gonna go ahead and go a little further to see some points of history and then see if God has given us a Clue as to whether some points in history will be repeated The Bible says in 1st Corinthians the 10th chapter if you're there, please let me know by saying amen The Bible says in 1st Corinthians 10 now looking at verses just 1 to 4 very quickly, I want you to see this.

It says, moreover brethren, I would not that you should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud and all passed through the sea.

And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea, and did all eat the same spiritual meat, and did all drink the same spiritual drink.

For they drank of that spiritual rock that followed them, and that rock was who?

So this is talking about what experience?

What experience in the past is this talking about?

This is when they're going through the Red Sea experience, right?

Now, what's interesting is as Paul is rehearsing what took place as the children of Israel left Egypt, And where were they on their way to?

They were on their way to Canaan land or that promised land, right?

So Paul is rehearsing what the children of Israel went through as they left Egypt on their way to Canaan land.

You know, it's talking about how Christ was leading them and guiding them and so on as they were going through the Red Sea But now notice how Paul transitions some thought processes to this point of history once we get into verse 5 it says in verse 5 But with many of them what happened God was not well pleased for they were overthrown where in the wilderness So while they were on their journey, and as they were heading from Egypt on their way to Canaan land, the Bible says, unfortunately, they began to displease God, and it says they were overthrown in the wilderness.

Now, what were some of the things that took them over?

Let's go ahead in verse 6 now and let's take a look.

It says in verse 6, now these things were our what?

To the intent we should not lust after evil things as they also what?

So what was 1 of the things that overthrew them in the wilderness?

Neither be ye idolaters as were some of them, as it is written, the people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play.

So again, what was another issue that overtook them in the wilderness?

Verse 8, it says, neither let us commit what?

Fornication, as some of them committed and fell in 1 day 3 and 20000.

So what's another thing to add to the list?

Tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.

Then, verse 10, neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.

So therefore, we're just taking a little bit of a snapshot of history.

We're seeing that the children of Israel back in the days as they left Egypt on their way to Canaan land, while Christ was leading them, they unfortunately entered into an experience wherein God was now displeased with them.

They did everything from commit fornication, they were complaining and murmuring, they were tempting God, They were doing all sorts of things.

They committed idolatry, and the list goes on.

Now, thus far, we just looked at history, but I want you to notice now verse 11.

It says, all these things happen unto them.

It says, now all these things happen unto them for what?

For ensamples, and they are written for whose admonition?
