The Bartizan Isaac Raised

Young adults (Remnants) must remember this. This is the bartizan established by Isaac.

▣ Introduction _ David

We need to look at David a bit more. Among all Remnants, David is the greatest model of prayer.

1. Psalms 5:3: In the morning.

2. Psalms 23:1-6: During the day, during weekdays.

3. Psalms 17:3: At night.

4. Psalms 78:70-72 (Shepherd): In the field, at school. While David was a shepherd, he prepared everything. If you read carefully, the vessel to become king was prepared at this time. He wrote many psalms and writings then. Praise and many other works were all done during this period. In particular, the skill to defeat Goliath was developed then. He played many important roles.

5. Song of Solomon 4:1-5, 1 Chronicles 29:10-14: In Song of Solomon 4, Solomon praises, and the 1,000 bartizans regarding his father David appear. In 1 Chronicles 29:10-14, he prepared a global bartizan. The global bartizan refers to the preparation of the Temple where the whole world could come. He established a bartizan in one place that firmly built the nation. This is David. Remnants must remember this. Pastors, establish 1,000 bartizans and 1,000 disciples during your remaining life. How can you establish them? Just think about that. I’m not saying don’t do other things, but other things are for relaxation. Our bodies have the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. We live while these two are in harmony. That is how the nerves function. In my case, when I constantly prepare messages and pray, only the sympathetic nerves are active. Then, the parasympathetic nerves, which allow for comfortable letting go, must be activated. That is why I go fishing or go to the sea. That is why I have meal times. Sometimes I go with others, and sometimes I go alone. When I have a meal alone, I focus intensely. I practically have to write a whole book. Much is accomplished during meal times. Also, in the morning. Since I think a lot about meetings in the morning, it’s a bit hard to do “homework.” Remnants must have this time.

Absolute Bartizan

Then, this becomes the absolute bartizan.

▣ Main _ Isaac

Today, we need to look at the absolute bartizan created by Isaac.

1. Genesis 12:1-3

2. Genesis 22:1-24

3. Genesis 26:10-24

1. Genesis 12:1-3 [What belonged to the parents]

This belonged to the parents. Remnants must know what the parents gave them. And they must know what the parents missed. Even if your parents are lacking, they gave birth to you, so there are good things to take and things that need to be changed.

(1) Blessing: He received an immense blessing here.

(2) Failure: Great failure came from here. You must know both. Isaac likely knew them well.

2. Genesis 22:1-24 [What belongs to God]

Everything belongs to God, but this refers to what only God can do. This is the Mt. Moriah incident mentioned earlier.

(1) Death: He encountered death here.

(2) The Ram: A ram is prepared. In this way, Isaac and Abraham came to enjoy the sure Gospel. Why do humans die?

[Destruction]: Why do humans face destruction? It is only natural because of Original Sin. Why do humans suffer such unfair things? It is natural.

[Christ]: That is why God promised Christ. Many people live without this. They live diligently and then die. Their spiritual state is nothing. They have zero spiritual power and no spiritual knowledge. Thus, they are seized by spiritual problems. They enter into eternal spiritual problems. No matter how well you studied, when you go, Satan drags you away. You live for a moment and then go there for eternity. For a mayfly, a whole lifetime is 24 hours. In God’s sight, we are like mayflies. To Satan, we are like mayflies. He drags us away. Because destruction is inevitable, Christ was promised. Look at someone when they die. It’s better to be silent at death, but it’s the same—the devil comes to drag them away. How terrifying must that be? You live for a moment and then go to an eternal place, dragged away for eternity.

3. Genesis 26:10-24 [What is mine]

All things belong to God, but this part is called “mine.” It is what God gave to Isaac. What did he do here?

(1) Restoration of Wells: He restored all the wells his father had dug. Enemies had come and blocked them, but he restored them all. At that time in the Middle East, wells were property.

(2) Source of the Spring: However, he found the source of the spring here. You must do things like this. He found the source of the spring.

(3) Rehoboth: He received the blessing of Rehoboth. These are the blessings our Remnants must receive.

Absolute Journey

This is called the absolute journey.

▣ Conclusion [Absolute Guidepost]

Finally, Remnants must create the absolute bartizan. You must create the absolute guidepost. This is all included in our New Year’s benediction message.

1. 100-Year Answer: He farmed for one year and received a 100-year answer. This is enough to do world missions.

2. 300% Fulfillment: Simply put, he achieved 300% fulfillment. It means he didn’t just survive; he saved others and did enough to conduct world missions.

3. Victory: He won without even fighting. People were constantly jealous, but he triumphed regardless. This is called the absolute guidepost. Still, there may be some who are going through difficulties. When things are hard, how do people become? They become a bit strange. For someone desperate for money, everything looks different. You must keep your senses sharp at such times. You might think, “I need to get help,” but don’t do that. At those times, go to the very bottom. One Elder’s company went bankrupt during the IMF crisis. This Elder was amazing. He told no one and just went to work anywhere that would give him a job for the day. Of course, the pay was low. But he went. His company had failed, but he went anyway. The person who hired him was shocked. He worked so well. Eventually, he was introduced to someone else. That person asked for his number and called him immediately. His income doubled. That person saw that this man had something special. They talked, and the Elder said, “I am an Elder at such-and-such place, but my company failed.” The person then asked, “Can you work at our company?” It was a very sturdy company, and he was placed in a very good position because he was trusted. People who do truly great work look for people like that. Since the world is full of strange people, they look for such individuals. So, go to the bottom. For children whose studies aren’t going well, go to the bottom. If you try to skim through, you will miss it. If it’s not working, you should go back to 7th-grade material; holding a high school book is useless. You have to ride that foundation and come up quickly. Life is the same. The difference for us is the fact that God’s grace remains. The fact that the blessing of world evangelization remains. You must remember this. Let us pray.

Prayer. We give thanks to God. Please grant our Remnants the blessing of being prepared 300%. Bless them enough to save their families and save the world. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
