Hear the different opinions out there and I was kind of surprised I lost
some followers on Twitter and Instagram and people sending me these mean
nasty things on just because we stand with Israel you know but they did
this to the Palestinians and they did and hey from their vantage point
right from their vantage point see that's the key you have to get the
right information you have to get go to the right source thank God we
have God's Word but you can also look at history and I don't know how
anybody can defend the murdering of children and women and what they did
you cannot defend that your argument is tossed to the ground and stomped
on to say that they have permission to do that and so what's happening
is you have this civil unrest I'm gonna it's actually cataclysmic you
you will see how we are involved in all of this and it's not a boring
topic trust me this is gonna be very very interesting and you need to
know what God's Word says you need to know what's going on and I did a
lot of studying I listened to rabbis I listened to both Palestinian side
and the Jewish side not not on what happened what happened is a
terrorist act condemned but the Middle East is a is a it's a hotbed of
hatred and the difference is Israel is often in the defensive position
where Hamas you saw that came against them and it has belong the north
and of course you go back to Isis these groups want to eradicate Israel
and wipe them off the face of the earth and guess who else you imagine
imagine the Mexican border they want to kill us and Canada wants to kill
us and you got rockets coming in all the time that's the atmosphere they
live in so how did this happen how what's what is going on and two women
who I highly respected the first service they teach studies here they
said that was a great breakdown that we need to hear and so that kind of
gave me a little a bit of confidence because I'm not sure you know where
where if we want to use a whole Sunday morning for this but I think it's
so important and just just so you know because all people have seen Alex
up here with this his phone and camera and a year ago was about a year
ago year and a half ago he goes hey if I start a tik-tok account and I
get a thousand followers can I film it live like yeah sure Alex whatever
you know sure yeah thousand thousand people on tik-tok and guess what
yeah I got it so I gotta live I gotta live up to that so thank you and I
think I saw comments there's a Muslim watching to Muslims watch they
want they want a Bible and so you never know who you're gonna reach many
of you don't know but we reached thousands of people outside of this
building and that's why I have to be faithful to the call that God has
given me and sometimes it upsets people but I have to look at the call
that I have versus the the feelings and opinions of others although
those you should take into consideration right I say the truth will
offend you but my attitude shouldn't and I have to apologize for that
from time to time and we'll continue to do so until I'm six feet under
so let me tell you what's going on I think we have a map that'll really
make a lot of sense okay how how is this little area causing all these
problems right there right so you're gonna hear arguments and I think
Israel has a lot of support right now but when they go into Gaza and the
they're gonna go in and just it's gonna be a while and they're gonna get
rid of Hamas and you're gonna start just maybe hear things and see
things and then you're gonna see I believe the Middle East turn on them
and CNN's also already in that route you're gonna see this now this
hatred towards Israel and America I don't know how long America will
support it but from a biblical perspective a historical perspective
anybody heard of Abraham father Abraham and God made a covenant with
Abraham he came from the ur of the Chaldeans you are or the Chaldeans
I'm just gonna guess here right around in this area he said I'm gonna
make a covenant with you your your the your people your descendants are
gonna be as the sea sands on the seashore not literal of course but so
he comes in this area Abraham does and then he says God tells him your
people are going to go into slavery for 400 years 400 years the reason
is many people speculate but the Bible is a little bit clear on this it
said number one the iniquity of the Amorites has not yet been fulfilled
meaning the Amorites are in the promised land and God is giving them I
think opportunity to repent like Nineveh or any other people his mercy
and his grace so he says because the iniquity their sin has not yet been
fulfilled you're gonna go in in other words the promised lands not ready
yet so you need to go in you're gonna serve that's the whole story of
right I'm gonna go over here for you so they there is a famine in the
land where do they go who's in Egypt Joseph who's been prepared by God
to be there and now all the people go Shan they come and then they live
in Egypt now for 400 years a generation rises up that doesn't know
Joseph they put the children of Israel in bondage and the Bible also
says and when you come out you're gonna come out with great substance
they actually left Egypt with all the gold and all the silver I'm not
all of it but they took it as much as they could carry God calls Abraham
from here to the here hey the promised land isn't ready yet so go down
here wait 400 years and I'm gonna bring you back a Red Sea crossing
remember reading about that anywhere and the children of Israel had 11
day journey to get to the promised land but it took him 40 years so if
you're a grumbler and a complainer I would repent of that today because
that will stop the promises of God more than anything else I've seen yes
besetting sin but the wrong heart the wrong attitude will definitely do
that as well so God brings them out by his strong hand remember all the
plagues of Egypt he spared the children of Israel the Pharaoh lost the
firstborn all the firstborn of the land they came out with great
substance and they hung out right here for a long time a very long time
so as you can see the land is the children of Israel's land from they
called the there's covenants with God the Noahic covenant the covenant
with Noah the Abrahamic covenant the Davidic covenant and he makes all
these covenants with these people and that's his covenant he's a
covenant keeping God he gave them the land and then somebody by the name
of Moses brought them out and then who brought them into the promised
land eventually Joshua and the warfare there's a lot boy there's a lot
there on the warfare walking into God's will it's not often easy there's
warfare and so they go in they take the promised land and that's where
they dwelt they dwelt there was that 3,000 years ago without my
calculator right and so what happened though is God said if you do these
things these blessings will overcome you you'll be blessed in the field
and you're gonna in you're going in and coming out but if you disobey
then I will bring in enemies to judge you judges Samuel Kings you see
the up and down of Israel it's never that they lose the land that God
gave them necessarily but the blessings are gone and they have to rule
they have to sit underneath the Philistine rule actually I would think
the word Palestine comes from Philistines and so you'll you'll see them
get the land lose it get the land lose it and then they're spread out
all over and what about Nehemiah he's taking captive and Daniel they're
taking captive but God always wants him to go back to the land rebuild
the temple go back to the land Nehemiah and rebuild the wall God wanted
them to rebuild a wall so does God's Word have anything to say about
borders yes it's crystal clear on a lot of these issues and so what is
happening then is there's this constant tension is it anytime Israel is
elevated and doing well the enemy hates it like when Nehemiah went to
build the wall Tobias wait Sam Ballett and Tobiah those little stinkers
they said what are these feeble Jews doing and they got upset that they
were coming to rebuild Jerusalem and so the Jews dwelt there and they
would dwell there with with with those from the Arab nations
Palestinians they would all dwell there over and then I think around 700
AD or so you could see there's this big uprising and and the Arab
nations went in and they overthrew Jerusalem and you were heard about
the Crusades right and and it was terrible time there for many keep many
doing things under the banner of Christianity and taking back Jerusalem
and and all these things but they still lived there they still stayed
there and so they eventually over the years you know Camp David have you
heard of that they're the Camp David Accord with Jimmy Carter and
there's just always trying to negotiate and and so eventually 2006 I
believe believe it is the Israel gave up the Gaza Strip and then they
elected Hamas to be their governing body people say why would they allow
them why would they elect them it's a why would they well when you go to
vote and there's people standing there with a k-47s telling you who
you're gonna vote for and so you have this and now you have this group
of people here we're gonna kill Israel that's a lot different that's
you're not defending anymore now you're the aggressor and so that final
there's been going back and forth I remember when they when they took
one of Israel's soldiers years ago Israel gave them back a thousand
prisoners you remember that deal was at 2000 I don't know 11 or so and
then one of those prisoners is the leader of Hamas who orchestrated this
whole thing I don't think he's gonna live very long much longer but
that's what's happening so Israel after that massive attack 1,200 people
women and children I'm not gonna go into what they did I'm it's just
it's just inconceivable and so for people to defend that really bothers
me because you have to ask yourself you know if if George Soros is on
your side and Hollywood and Harvard and the media you might be on the
wrong side and so that's that's why this is a big deal and not only do
they have Hamas here in the Gaza Strip guess who's up here north
Hezbollah and Syria is not real happy Iraq's not real happy Iran's not
real happy and Saudi Arabia was just gonna sign a peace deal with Israel
or some type of peace talks well that's off the table now guess who's
talking so you have this whole whole area pretty much Egypt will you
know they're not letting their they're not opening their border to let
the Palestinians in when Israel will go in they'll tell the Palestinians
they have 24 hours to leave you'll find that guess who's not letting
them leave Hamas and so what they do is they use women and children as
shields real cowards right and they'll they'll plant they'll put their
their military bases and things like that maybe next to hospitals or and
that's that's what they do what they're banking on what always happens
that's why you have people even in our in government in Washington DC
these Democratic senators and Congress women who are who are not saying
anything about the atrocities not calling it for what it is and we've
got enemies within we really do open borders for so many years have just
allowed all these people to come in unvetted unchecked and that's why
many people are worried and you look at mainly who's coming in guys in
their 30s by themselves not Hispanic you got to be careful doesn't mean
we're unloving the government is not supposed to turn the other cheek
that's my job the government is not supposed to care for the sojourner
and the pilgrim that's my job what's the government's job to restrain
evil to protect and people that came against me when I talk about
borders I say okay we'll try this let me know it goes so like leave your
house unlocked door open and windows open just say hey if you're hungry
you need some hot hot meals come in it's open you're not gonna do that
well of course not that's not wise exactly you have to be able to help
people but also protect those that God has given you to protect that's
and that's the role of government did you know if you're in an airplane
and the oxygen mask falls that the mom is not supposed to put it on the
two-year-old first that's selfish no they're supposed to put it on
quickly and then they're able to attend to their family you see how that
works and so we have this this incredible upheaval with now everything
is really unstable so my point was what you're gonna see what Hamas does
it's called propaganda so in the weeks to come I say within the next I
don't know three four weeks you're gonna see this big shift in my
opinion where they go into Gaza and it gets tough ground warfare is
tough and now the narrative is going to change and you're gonna have
even more people coming against Israel forcing them to get out what they
when they haven't removed that cancer yet and my thought is when Hamas
creates an environment like this somebody has to respond this is wicked
it's evil it's demonic and so that's where we find ourself today it is
just straight-up hatred and it even goes back to Genesis 25 23 I believe
I have this verse dealing with you know Abraham Isaac and Jacob in
between there two kids were born one of the of the right lineage that
God said Abraham right and his wife the other Sarah decided to go get a
handmaiden and make it happen on her own so you have these two you have
these different people groups right at the beginning and this one I
believe is talking about Rebecca saying there are two nations in your
womb these people will be separated from your body one shall be stronger
than the other and the older shall serve the younger that's not good
especially in the Middle East they don't like that it's always the older
right is the head of the home it receives the double portion and the
younger serves so from the get-go there's been a challenge and many
believe and why you know that's unsettling is Iran for example and if
you're imams I am a in those are Iranian clergy clergy they want to
usher in this major battle they want to usher in this major fight that's
a little scary they think they're rewarded for bringing in and what's
funny is they're looking for this person which actually the Bible
describes as the Antichrist or the one world leader they're waiting for
that type of person and that means that's why they want to die for their
faith and so you'll see it's what that's why they call it Islamic
terrorism and that's what it actually is it's the two the Judaism and
Islam are fighting and this is the outcome of that Deuteronomy 28 to and
all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you because you
obey the voice of the Lord but if you disobey then all these things will
come upon you so Israel disobeyed and this is what has come upon them
different rulers and different kingdoms have been over them did you know
that that Israel was going to be blessed of God no army can come against
them but when they withdrew and they were disobedient God said okay
Assyrians Babylonians I'm gonna bring even that's what Habakkuk writes
about Habakkuk says why are these armies coming against why are the
wicked prospering and God says do not write down the vision for in the
end it will speak and not lie for it is yet for an appointed time but
I'm bringing this army against you and because you didn't listen now I'm
gonna bring the Philistines against you and that's how God often would
would wake up his people and so although they don't they don't lose the
land because God's promises are sure and I'm gonna go through a few of
those Nehemiah he said 1 8 through 9 Nehemiah 1 8 through 9 remember now
remember Nehemiah is in bondage he has been the people that the city the
city lies in waste and he says why should I not be sad when the place of
my father's tombs lies in waste and the king sent him to rebuild the
wall he said therefore God I pray the word that you commanded your
servant Moses back he's going way way back saying if you are unfaithful
which they were I will scatter you among the nations but if you return
to me and keep my commandments and do them though some of you were cast
out to the farthest parts of heaven yet I will gather you from there and
bring them to a place which I have chosen as a dwelling for my name so
obedience would put them back in the center of God's will not what
happened they would cry out to God for a deliverer and what will God
bring them a judge so the book of Judges is about the children of Israel
drifting and then coming back to God raising up a Samson raising up a
Barak raising up you go down the list and Samuel and these different
people he would raise up to bring the children of Israel back but the
regathering of Jerusalem the regathering of the children of Israel let's
say example in 1948 did you know in 1948 after thousands of years they
became a nation again 1948 they became a nation again because after the
Holocaust they were recognized as a nation again and there wasn't
anything they did though in that case they weren't worthy of it it was
all by God's mercy because God made promises to David I'm going to show
you that in a little bit it's almost like everything is fine as long as
Israel's defeated but when Israel starts to regather its strength and
and what the why is it it's got one of the best landscapings in the
world as far as growing and the water coming out and the defenses of
Israel and that's why they think many people think they were caught off
guard by what happened I might talk about that in a minute but I do want
to talk about something that's very important I don't know if I'm gonna
go through these or read them necessarily but it is important because it
happens in the Christian community you ever wonder why some people do
have friends that don't care about this topic at all you know I do and
you know I got it some people you know we don't not many of us didn't
care too much until this happened recently but a lot of people believe
and teach and it really comes from what's known as the Reformed faith or
the Reformation Reformed faith something called covenant theology
covenant theology or replacement theology and if you read you know I've
read their books before a friend of mine you know it's like okay they
okay see where although I don't agree with them I see where they're
coming from because think about the word replacement and covenant Israel
was given this responsibility God said if you do this obey me follow me
I will keep this covenant with you in Israel did not fulfill her end of
the bargain at all so God says you broke the covenant that I had with
you therefore I no longer have a covenant with you and the church now
today has replaced Israel replacement theology grafted in so now the
promises are really spiritual promises given to the church now some of
that's true because Paul says we have been grafted in there a believing
Jew and a Christian are no different we're part we're part of that
family but based on Scripture again if you if you were to weigh the
Scriptures and I know our elders here myself I can't grasp that concept
for a couple different reasons number one Jeremiah and I could read I
had about eight verses but it would take a lot of time but here's just
the one of them Jeremiah 31 35 to 37 this is what the Lord says he who
appoints the sun to shine by day and who decrees the moon and the stars
to shine by night that's pretty powerful maybe that's a good word for
some of you this morning you're worried about something that you don't
have to worry about God's got this he holds the stars in place hello he
put the Sun 93 93 million miles away and he controlled that that just if
I get a headache if I think too much about it like the greatness of God
that word awesome is actually used to describe God so that God the Lord
Almighty is his name in case you forgot only if these decrees vanish
from my sight everything he just decreed in other words if the Sun no
longer shines in and all these things no longer do what I told them to
do then Israel will cease being a nation before me in other words it's
not gonna happen and one of the things I read this morning I hopped up
here and wrote it down is I'm reading Nehemiah and Nehemiah they lost
the land I mean they were overcome by their enemies and and I think it
was in Haggai or Zechariah forgot to Zechariah forgot to write down God
said I am still zealous for Jerusalem still and then he goes on to say
who touches you touches the apple of my eye still after they were
overtaken by their enemies and they walked away from you and there's a
verse that I can't dismiss whoever blesses Israel I will bless whoever
curses Israel I will curse now you we can get really down a rabbit trail
and I know some of you have more than me of what happens when we begin
to take land from Israel if you go back to George Bush senior and when
they start to take land from I mean everything's from hurricanes to this
it's like coincidence I don't know I like I like to believe that verse
because it doesn't say whoever blesses Israel I will bless whoever
curses Israel I will curse as long as they keep all my commandments
perfectly and live in harmony it doesn't it's just it's just that's what
you have to do a scripture you have to be careful that when you
eliminate things like those who they call sensationist sensationist who
say that the gifts the miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit no longer
function today are you sure I mean that's that's pretty so we needed
them for the first hundred years the second hundred years if we needed
them for 300 years but when the Council of Nicaea canonized the
scripture now we have the Bible now we don't need them boy oh boy oh boy
I'm not prepared to make those kind of judgments I'm just a simple
country preacher and the Bible says things that are that are pretty
clear but on the replacement theology side Sam storms he email I emailed
him he said I could quote him he said which he would he actually he
loves the nation of Israel he believes that we are to protect them and
be but he doesn't see them still being part of God's plan because the
church has been grafted in he said many prefer the term fulfillment
theology believing Gentiles do not replace believing Jews both are one
new man who share equally in the covenant promises in other words
believing Gentiles have been grafted into the olive tree of Israel to
share with believing Jews in the fulfillment of the promises and I agree
with that every word of that but I would say that God appears to still
have a plan with Israel for 1948 to what we didn't we talk about 1948
did you know that they the all these Arab nations went against them in
66 and 73 I mean it's like that whether that's six-day war I mean all
these nations come against Israel still comes out could it be that God
is fighting for them I mean you just look at all that this tiny little
size of New Jersey all these nations surrounded by people who want to
kill you and it's another reason I know it's their land is because
somebody about 2,000 years ago died on a cross went to a temple even
though it was under Roman occupation Jesus listen to a talk it's it's a
it's a the land that Abraham promised the Jews give to Caesar what's due
Caesar and to God the things that God it was their land and the word
Palestine comes from the word Philistine and when they came in to that
area they gave them some of that land just as a concession thinking they
could all dwell together in harmony now did Israel handle a lot of
things well no not everything that's unbelieving God rejecting nations
still it's not messianic do you understand that they are still waiting
for the Messiah and a lot of them will die in their sins for example Ben
Shapiro is not in a good spot spiritually speaking whatsoever yes I hope
people send this to him that's okay his comments about Jesus are
appalling Dennis Prager not in a good spot spiritually they reject Jesus
Christ Sam Storm continues he says I want to use give you an
illustration does the butterfly replace the caterpillar no the butterfly
is the organic consummation of the caterpillar just as the church is the
spiritual fulfillment of believing remnant Israel and there he gives
some scriptures there so he would believe that God no longer has a plant
and others other replay other people I respect I love I see where
they're coming from I really do but we look at I just I just what I do
is when you weigh the scriptures everything I just read about Apple of
God's eye zealous for Jerusalem I will not forsake them even if you know
my decrees would have to vanish before Israel vanishes as a nation
brings them back in 1948 the consistency if you weigh those to me that
has they have a lot more weight than the scriptures on the replacement
theology side it just it just seems to be a lot more weight plus a lot
of people don't know this but when if you if you research replacement
theology covenant theology and you go back to the Reformation with
Martin Luther 1517 he was very anti-semitic I don't know if you knew
that or not anti-semitism semitic is the language of the Arab Arab and
Jewish area the nation that people and so if you're anti-semitic it's
become anti-semitism has become to mean against the Jews and he actually
wrote so strongly against him that Adolf Hitler used some of his
writings and so his reason was that he just had he hated them because
they killed Jesus not understanding that God allowed it the Romans
actually were involved as well and my point is though when you go back
and you look at Reformation history Martin Luther you're exwing Lee in
Switzerland read some of his writings or John Calvin in Geneva or John
Knox in Scotland and you read a lot of what they came out of reading
Whitecliffe and Tyndale and John Huss and then you see a lot of them
were basing it off Israel being gone there was no nation of Israel back
then it was that Jews were everywhere Bulgaria Bolivia China and like
obviously they're gone but then in 1948 we're now hate Israel's now a
nation again and all the Jews are coming back to the homeland oh hmm so
one good thing about waiting or being you know living where we do is we
can see things even better and I guarantee in 20 years from now some of
us might be changing our theological positions again on things that not
essentials but things that we're waiting on that we think maybe the
rapture or not the rapture or where China will be or Iran's role or
Ezekiel 38 this big army for Magog and Gog and and what we'll have a
better eyesight spiritually speaking even even then on the things that
are not essential I think we can all agree on that I hope in short what
is happening kingdoms are colliding kingdoms are colliding how the left
in our country say that speaking truthful words are violent yet they say
nothing about decapitating babies they are demonically inspired period I
said it hello tweet it out if you want think about it this this is it's
like mind-blowing times a thousand I'm called a hater fascist what I
don't know what that is you name it white wing hating fear mongering you
hate homosexual no I'm just telling what God's Word says so my my words
my words are hate but these people can chop off babies heads and rape
women and kill them set them on fire and and it's okay we're pro-
palestinian give me a break give if if I wasn't a pastor I could curse
right now I would I know you might not be able to believe that and so
could some of you right that still wells up doesn't it righteous
indignation I'd love for some of you to see Jesus turn over that money
changer boy I bet he was fuming I mean it's just like this is this is
wrong and silence speaks volumes cowards say nothing words carry weight
and it's time that we say what is true they're really love speeches hate
speech according to so many so I won't get into all the details of what
happened in just this recent last week because we really don't we don't
know was there a cyber attack I know Jack Gibbs talked about that in one
of his messages that Iran and China there's a cyber attack on their
equipment I don't know about that I haven't seen anything on that I've
heard conspiracy theories that Israel allowed this to happen to give
them excuse to go into Hamas I for one cannot believe that whatsoever
what it looks like is there was an intelligence failure they were caught
off guard because you can get you can rest on your lulls you can get a
little sleepy even though their security system was the best in the
world I mean they can detect a cat outside the fence but the same thing
that happened with 9-eleven is you know they had chunks of information
throughout FBI had something this this local official had something and
they never connected the dots and so it appears again time will tell
what the truth is but it appears that they were completely just caught
off guard how that happened I don't know it doesn't make a lot of sense
it really does it but I'm not going to say things that aren't true that
I don't know for certain and we do know that Iran is a satanic puppet
master do you know would you know who funds who gives Hezbollah
Hezbollah and Hamas who gives them the money any idea I heard somebody
say u.s. what technically you're right right did you see the Babylon B
this week it said White House denies that the six billion dollars
unfrozen matches exactly six billion dollars in missiles fired I mean
come on we unfreeze six billion dollars to Iran as a financial sanction
and then all hell breaks loose and one of the worst things I've ever
seen in my lifetime what it's embarrassing I'm so ashamed and I'm still
upset is what Biden did in Afghanistan I'm just telling you truth and if
this upsets people when we go down to one service that's okay one
service is easier for me but that's the truth you leave you leave 95
billion in military equipment there you what hurts me most is you pull
out and you know you don't hear about the hundreds hundreds that were
slaughtered the translators the communicators that would work with the
United States and communicate just they're just a translator Isis would
wipe out their family I heard David Barton talk about this with Glenn
Beck they had airplanes we're going to leave Afghanistan and the State
Department redirected them back would not allow them into our country we
are evil at the core when you vote you better really look at who you
vote for you better really consider because we're voting we're voting
for policy we're voting for policy okay not people not people Mickey
Mouse can run for office but if he's gonna protect the unborn and he's
gonna secure the borders he's gonna deal he's gonna deal tough he's
gonna deal he's gonna he's gonna protect and appoint people in positions
of leadership that love God and he's hey hey we're going for policy
folks not people got to wake up we got to wake up and find out and see
where this is all leading so anyway a lot of the weapons are I think
you're gonna find two is came from Afghanistan some of the some can you
believe that the actual things we left there terrorists are using
against not only Israel but by the way not only do they want to wipe
Israel off the face of the map diary tell you this for a sec I know I
told first service but if you're a Christian you're a Christian they
want to wipe you off the face of the map I don't know if you ever follow
Pat Patrick bet David his podcast some people I listen to on there some
I can't because they cuss and stuff sometimes but sometimes there's
really good conversation when he had with Charlie Kirk and another one
but they had Muslims and Christians and the Muslims actually said yes
it's okay to kill you for what you believe on this podcast not right
there wouldn't be because you have to go through the courts and stuff
it's so funny those who struggle or that said the homosexual agenda
you're so mad at me go go try this and I ran they kill you they will
kill you I love you I'll just tell you the truth they will kill you
hello my goodness we have been drinking woke kool-aid for too long let
me see if I'm in YouTube yell again after this one no we're still good
so we don't know we know site I ran satanic puppet masters we know the
prophecy as time goes on things will become more clear on what's going
on what's the big thing right now that you're hearing a lot of people
talk about is Ezekiel 38 I think we have that and so God is prophesying
say son of man prophesy and say to Gog which is may God Gog and if you
look at the we'd have to put the map up I don't have time to go into the
Russia area those people north of them China's way north Russia's north
thus says the Lord God on that day when my people Israel dwell safely
will you not know it then you will come from your place out of the far
north you and many peoples with you all of them riding horses a great
company and a mighty army you will come up against my people Israel like
a cloud to cover the land it will be in the latter days that I will
bring you against my land so that the nations may know me when I'm
hollowed in your name Oh God before their eyes and you can read Ezekiel
38 and there's this big battle people trying to say it already happened
on that's kind of tough to fathom it and appears at all at some point
all the groups are going to get we're going to be against Israel hmm
pretty interesting right and then I'm gonna get to Revelation 9
hopefully in a few weeks it says this God says release the angels who
are bound bound at the great rivers Euphrates anybody aware that
Euphrates has been drying up you've been watching those videos just
saying it's for people to not believe the Bible just so incredible I
mean it's like they're just stuck on stupid well let me say that that
could have been flesh Russell you're here that could be my flesh
preaching again so let me let me say let me see them the humble broken
pastor would say they're just not they're just they're just blinded by
the by the enemy and we just pray that those blinders will come off
someday so you try talking for an hour not messing up so the four angels
who had been prepared for that hour and the day and the month and the
year they were released to kill a third of the man mankind now the
number of the army of the horsemen was 200 million anybody know what
country has 200 million man army their flag is red and yellow I'm
interesting I can't I won't I can't say for sure but that you know
interesting I heard the number of them and thus I saw a horse in the
vision those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red and yellow
you've got to be kidding me and the heads of the horses were like heads
of lions and out of their mouth came fire smoke and brimstone now where
all this plays out we don't know exactly I mean people take a strong
stance and say this is exactly how it's gonna happen I can't do that I
just know and we may we could put the map up there real quick too as
well where's China up here so you've got 200 man million army all
Euphrates rivers in the way well maybe not and then you're gonna have
all this groups come against this little this little tiny place here now
according to prophecy God is going to defend his people so it's
interesting to say the say the least right so where does that leave us
I'm not gonna get to Revelation 8 I'll have to do next week us today
really you need to know this China and others are saying it's our fault
possibly to draw us in knowingly to a war knowing that our supply
capabilities are severely hindered hey Biden I know we're 95 billion is
off in the desert somewhere you just left and then now we have bases
here and there now we've got one of our major fleets one of the carriers
and remember a carrier that carries all the fighter jets also comes with
a lot of other vessels next to it and they can't tell us exactly but you
can guarantee there's some nuclear submersion subs in that area as well
and so we're being pulled there I don't know if you saw but Taiwan or
China just launched a lot of their fighter jets over the Taiwanese area
a day or two ago perfect opportunity if I Iran begins to come against
Israel because they're not gonna allow Israel saying Gaza too long right
now they can't do much because of public supports have divided but you
start seeing all the Palestinians and they're gonna throw up pictures it
remember it's the terrorist fault they use people shields they're not
letting a lot of Palestinians leave they're using them as shields and
they're gonna say look at what Israel is doing and then you can see this
whole tide switch no support now Iran says if you don't move out we're
gonna start to take military action and then you got Syria above that
area as well and releasing Hezbollah and now the United States we're
here what are we gonna do what are we gonna do we're gonna send now
we're gonna start to send our fighter jets toward Iran to stop them and
then China's just waiting to tick tick tick tick that's one group I
wouldn't want to mess with I would not want to see where they this ends
up now though we're not supposed to be alarmed correct but we do see
military weakness because of wokeness military weakness because of
wokeness we are spread way too thin we're worried about teaching our
servicemen how many genders there are and how to be sensitive and how to
get sex surgery and change your sex to a woman if you'd like that that's
our military give me a break those who join join because we are one
nation under God not above God so so the morale so the morale the morale
right now is not too great why can't we get people enlisted I don't want
my son going and fighting for this country that's going to hell in a
handbasket that's what parents are thinking that's okay why am I gonna
look at the look what they do we got to go to sensitivity training in
the Marines are you kidding me I also don't know laugh or cry no we
actually you don't need sensitive every 70 training teach them how to
survive on the land and take people out that are the enemy and let them
loose that's what they used to do the whole that was a whole program the
why the whole SEAL team program was set up years ago was to have an
elite team who are prepared and go in not they don't need sensitivity
training but see they're woke what does that mean they're actually
controlled by puppet masters you know that right don't listen to a lot
of the media who owns the media who owns the majority of the media let's
do a quick test here George Soros black Black Rock Vanguard State Street
billion-dollar companies do you know do you know they also have a lot of
stock in Big Pharma and the food industry what's happening a lot of the
farmers watch the documentary from the Epoch Times on what's happening
to far especially in Denmark how they're pushing out thousands of
farmers who owns all these the media Big Pharma food thank God they
don't control Hollywood at least Psalm 27 some trust in chariots and
some in horses but we will remember the name of the Lord our God praise
God and another already touched base on this but this is what's
happening open borders erase boundaries and so it is the challenges we
want to help people that are less fortunate and really needing help
there's got to be a better way but why don't we even offer a polygraph
hey before you come in do you want to kill any Americans hello I mean
there's just no vetting process there's nothing just open borders do you
know why the Democrats want votes number one number two Mexico doesn't
want to lose six billion a year that they receive from people sending
money back there's another third reason as well I can't recall it's just
a crisis you see all that we've got how many different nationalities
coming in how much fentanyl is coming in the sex trafficking it's it's
it's it's incredible lines are being drawn in the sand and you'll see
that now where all the people who supported BLM a couple years ago where
they at now BLM is supporting Palestine where are these people Shane
you're gonna tick off people I know but I don't care anymore I don't
care anymore this guy didn't speak the truth we have to speak the truth
out of a thousand people two might get upset that's okay what can we do
okay I'm gonna close with this what can we do 365 times the Bible says
fear not 10 tips for troubling times you have that article we're giving
it out again on Wednesday make sure you get that article I might preach
on next Sunday I'm not sure it will really help but I wanted you to see
this I've said it I would say this every Sunday if I could I would say
this every Sunday and Wednesday if I could to remind you who can stop
God Almighty who are you who are you fearing who can who can ruin his
plans what leader can overpower him what government can override him
what army can defeat him what terrorists can scare him what obstacles
can stop him what challenge can confuse God so we've got to get our
minds off of what's going on out of Fox News out of CNN out of all this
stuff all the world the skies falling and remember to trust in God
Almighty God raises up a king and he puts another one down and I can
tell you this with all the authority of Scripture what's going on will
not touch your soul if your soul knows the Savior that's the difference
that's the difference what's going on it will not touch your soul at all
if you know the Savior Shane aren't you worried of Russia the nuclear
Los Angeles well then I'll go real quick and we know Jesus I don't know
I mean you're what are you I'm actually more worried to see where
America's at 20 years and have to live in it and do what I do boy I
could really take you down a journey where where Germany was when Hitler
came in maybe you don't know this but I was able to get I got dinner
with Eric my taxes and a few other people that's funny we got an uber he
goes Shane you need the front seat cuz you're too tall so they got in
the back but just the parallels with Germany where the churches were
silent capitulating and where we are today calling good evil and evil
good what we're allowing what we're not standing for I remember the
quote but he was talking about somebody said they came for the
socialists and I didn't say anything they came for the national whatever
I didn't say anything they came for the Christians I didn't say anything
they came for the Jews and I couldn't say anything it's just the same
the parallels are amazing remember the enemy comes as an angel of light
the closer you draw to God the better you'll be able to handle the
future the further you away and the more difficult it will become so
that's why I mentioned that 6 a.m. on Sundays bring your Bible to bring
a little flashlight worship sometimes or Wednesdays in the end and at
your own home for sure every day in your own home but the more you press
into God the more full you are of his spirit the more you can handle
what's going on out there but the less the farther you get from God
young adults teenagers to the farther you get from God the more scared
you're gonna be the more difficult it becomes we have to remember you
you know the Lord and he knows you but are you drawing near to him
you've got to seek him like never before you've got to seek him like
never before and I talked about this at the first service and I might
next week but you have to pray down heaven you have to pray down heaven
and so I do want to throw it out there this morning if you don't know
truly know God if you've been trusting in religion anybody ever trust in
religion you're trusting in your good works you're trusting in the
church whatever that means you're not trusting you have to trust in
Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior this morning there's a song that
came on I wish I could hit rewind one of the lines it says the day that
death surrendered was under the weight of the cross the day that death
surrendered was under the weight of the cross think about it death had
this control of people for thousands of years death was the final say
death was was everything people feared but death surrendered that day on
the cross when Jesus arose and so make that decision this morning if you
need to
