Transcript | Jeremiah 32

How's my hair, Kev? Live from Bremerton. That's my hair. It's Monday night, Jeremiah 32. Let's pray. Father, we come before you, Lord. We thank you that Sally's at home, that she's recovering. We pray you do miracles of healing upon her. Be with Nancy and Lee, Lord. Thank you for us being able to see them last night. Continue to heal them, Cora and Allen and others who are sick, and just part of holy spirit tonight as we worship you in song as we study your word, as we pray. Thank you for the nice meal, and we just commit this night in your hands, in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Alright. Thank you, Rob. Thank you, Rob. K. We're in chapter 32 of book of Jeremiah. Father, again, we come before you and we ask that you would open the scriptures to our understanding. Thank you, Lord, with all the propaganda, all the lies, all the craziness going on out there in the church, outside of the church, through media and such that we have your holy word. And, Lord, we ask that you'd lead and guide us into all truth, that we would walk in fellowship with you, Lord, and the comfort of your holy spirit, your peace that surpasses all understanding that would guard our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. So blessed now we pray in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. So the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the tenth year of Zedekiah so Zedekiah is gonna be the last king of Judah, the last king of this period of time. Later, they'll have, you know, Herod the Great after after seventy AD no more. Jesus will be their next king after that. But, anyway, Zedekiah, king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar. So Nebuchadnezzar's eighteenth year as ruler of Babylon, Zedekiah's tenth year as king over Judah. And in Jeremiah 39 verse one, Jeremiah will again give a chronology, say the ninth year of Zedekiah. And so this is at May, between April and October. It says, for then the king of Babylon's army besieged Jerusalem. Besiege means they put a siege around it, around the city, one of the, ways of warfare. The the walls of a lot of times are impregnable, and a lot of soldiers be lost trying to get up, you know, close to the wall, so they just don't allow anybody out, nobody in, and they starve you to death. And, in the book of Lamentations, Jeremiah described what it was like, how much it was for a donkey's head, how much it was for a little dab of a dove's dung to eat, stuff like that. And, so pretty brutal. And, so that's what they do. Seventy AD, Titus put a siege around Jerusalem, and a couple million Jews died in that siege, as the Romans destroyed Jerusalem. So army besieged Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the court of the the prison, which was in the king of Judah's house. So in the courtyard there, Jeremiah is gonna be there for about one point five years, May from May to May. So May is when Nebuchadnezzar finally destroys Jerusalem. And so in chapter 39 let's see here. '39, July eighteenth five eighty six BC. So got a little ways to go. So Jeremiah has been apprehended. Jeremiah is letting them know you need to surrender to Nebbe. They don't wanna surrender to Nebbe. They realize Jeremiah is probably right. They don't like him being right, so we're going to, imprison you. They don't like, what he has to say. They don't like the prophecy that he gave. For Zedekiah, king of Judah had shut him up saying, why do you prophesy and say, thus saith the lord, behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon and he shall take it. So Zedekiah said that's treasonous. You know, you're you're speaking treason against this nation. You're causing the morale of the people to drop down on the military and everybody, And, we you need to tell them tell them we're gonna win. You need to tell them lies so that people, remain in denial and act like it's not happening. And Zedekiah, king of Judah, shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes. And so the truth is gonna come out. You're gonna see Nebuchadnezzar eyeball to eyeball, face to face, and and, basically, there's no free speech here. You're not allowed to, you know, speak your mind. No First Amendment. And if you speak the truth, you're gonna have a SWAT team swat your house and and haul you off to Guantanamo. You know? And more and more, we're watching where there's the the globalists are not liking the fact that there's alternative media and people that are able to use their phones and a way of getting information out there. They wanna control information. And and so all throughout history, the tyrants wanna try and control the media. So Robbie Robbie has a thing about what happened, the whistleblowers in Australia and New Zealand this week. Do you remember? No. She doesn't. Her sister does. Sherry. Chester Lawton does. Okay. So you can look on Rumble or Telegram, and you can see the article where in New Zealand and Australia, a whistleblower came out with statistics from the government of how many people have died in fact of COVID. And then the very next day, the equivalent of, you know, their FBI swatted the guy, the whistleblower. And I think Alex Jones has a big article about him there at InfoWars today. So They also just announced this morning. Don't know if you saw that article that with Washington state what Washington state did. They they hired a high-tech firm at taxpayers paying for it to monitor the social media accounts of Washington State citizens and then keep track of who's liking it, what's being liked, what topics, and to report back to the government on what the conversation is among Washington state residents. They just they just came out with that this morning. It was actually they reported it Sunday night. But Wow. So I just had Elon Musk try to friend me. Was that kinda was that real, you think? Dan Bundy has just been arrested, leaking out against the hospital in Idaho Oh, wow. They just arrested him. So so Robbie says do not comply that if we are passive in the arresting of these guys, these whistleblowers, they're just gonna increase it. But if people wake up and say, wait a minute. Where's our first amendment? Then they'll back off like they always do. So there it's kinda beta test. They're gonna try and see just like with gun confiscation. They're gonna see if how far they can go with it and at what point the people wake up and, you know, go crazy, and then they back off. And but they're gonna just like with COVID, COVID was their dream because people so incredibly complied, and now nobody's even talking about it. Alright. So we have a problem with truth. Our our objective to fight the evil in the time we're living is Rob and Vicky started a podcast called Be Not Deceived. So we go to places like Ephesians five eleven, have no fellowship with them, fruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. So the devil's greatest tool is deception to lie to the people, and it's amazing to me the brainwashing that takes place in the mainstream media, people listening all day long, droning in their home, all the lies over and over again, every news agency. And it's a powerful form of of brainwashing. And over a period of time, people just believe those lies. They don't fact check. They don't look into it. They don't vet anything. And then we come along and we challenge some of these things, and then we're the conspiracy theorists, you know, because we didn't go along with the official narrative. And so a while back, Hillary Clinton said we're losing the information war. She knew they needed to better control, you know, the information. And with all the alternative sites able to expose their lies, they weren't able to get as much traction with their desire for their new world order. So they can't govern without compliance. They can't govern without compliance from the governed. And so if the people wake up and don't comply, how are they gonna force everyone into, you know, so like, James Lane, these guys, social credit system or central bank digital currency. They'd much rather everybody simply comply and give into it than resist it. And, Bill Gates was frustrated because maybe only 50% of the people took the jab, the mRNA jab. So he's stating that, you're all gonna have to do it. You know? But 50% of Americans said no. So now they're gonna have to figure out a way to get the remaining 50% to comply. And, so they're coming up with, you know, various incentives and also schemes and and all that. So for you and I, we're to prove all things, hold fast that which is good. Truth is important. There was a time for us in America and the church where we weren't allowed to talk about politics or people tried to make us think we couldn't. And so we were supposed to stay in our lane and not not evaluate what's true and what's false, and the so called government can tell us what's true and what's false. And now we're reaching a point where many people are waking up and challenging everything they hear, critical thinking, and and wanting to instead of being fact checked and told that your information's a lie, now we're exposing. We simply expose with a video, with an article, with their own documents. I posted today the Daigle report, and the Daigle report's been around quite a while. But in 2020, the Department of Defense, the CIA, and the Rockefeller Foundation, it's posted on my website on I mean, on a Facebook page. And, so all the statistics of basically prognosticating that, prophesying that in the Western countries, America would drop down from 330,000,000 people down to 90,000,000 people by 2025. And the article today, again, several articles in a row are stating they're right on schedule. And part of what we're gonna see here is God's gonna use the famine, the sword, and pestilence as a means of judgment against his own people. So we're watching famine. You know, they're buying up all the food, controlling the food, processing plants, Bill Gates buying the land, and war, which is the sword, trying to get war going. And and then the pestilence, they're creating a pestilence. And not only creating the pestilence, but then creating an mRNA, quote, unquote, jab or vaccine that, you know, it's a slow kill, in some cases die suddenly. But in any event, they're reducing the population, the powers that be. And the most frustrating part of it is to get the truth out, trying to get people to understand what's happening so that they could wake up. So in this case here, Zedekiah is frustrated because Jeremiah, being a prophet, he doesn't understand that there's a document called the separation of church and state. And he just why are you why are you, Jeremiah, talking about politics? Why are you sticking your nose into politics? Why don't you just go over the temple and, you know, you teach bible studies over there and but leave us alone because we've got matters of state, you know, to conduct. And amazingly, that's how much the people in the church today think is that, hey. Let's just stay out of it. You know? Let's not be involved. Then there's another side of the church today, the kingdom now guys, the new apostolic reformation, the ones that wanna bring in or think that we're already in the millennium, and that they're going to usher in the second coming of Christ by taking over government, by taking over media, by taking over everything, through voting, by the way. You know? Yeah. Right. And, and as we saw last night, you can rig a lottery. I mean, Ruthie, she won because we rigged it. You know? And It's not true. But your faces your faces god. The faces of people. They were so quiet. I was shocked too. So, anyway, we we had a lot of fun, but it started out where people were like, I think they rigged it. I think they rigged it. You know? And but we didn't. So we know that the election's rigged. We absolutely, positively know the previous election was rigged. Nothing has been done to fix it. The Republicans sit on their hands, don't do anything to fix what's broke, and yet people think that they're gonna vote 2024 and that they're gonna change to get a different result. You know? If you do get a different result, it's because they're playing you because the guy on the other side works for them also. And so good thing about a revolution like this, the Babylonians coming in, it wipes out all the corruption. All the corruption gets wiped out by a foreign entity coming and taking down that country. And that's that'd be glorious, wouldn't it? It'd be glorious. Because if you're a Daniel then, you get to go to Babylon, and you get to have a decent life there. I mean, picture Putin. What if Putin took down America? He seems to be more logical and reasonable and and even more moral than any leadership we have, and yet people wanna demonize him and make him the crazy guy and all that. And but I think a guy like Putin, you know, I'd I'd vote for Putin. You know? And people are like, he's crazy. Besserick, did you just say that? You know? It's because I understand that the country we have, you can't get more corrupt in this country. You you can't possibly get more corrupt. When you're preying upon little children the way our country is, it's over. Put a fork in it. So, anyway, the the the ones that that, I'm able to see now, before I wasn't able to, is above America and above Israel. We love Israel, but above America and above Israel, above Russia are the globalists, the bankers. Those are the ones we never see. So we get mired in. Iran is evil. Israel, you know, needs to protect themselves. America's good. America's bad. Putin's bad. Russia's bad. But it never gets above to who the bankers are, and the globalists actually pulling the strings doing all this. So it's really easy to spot now what's happening. But even above that is God allowing these guys to do it. And I'm not sure being salt and light and exposing these things how much time we'd buy, but we're supposed to be a preserving influence to slow the putrefaction down. God's been very patient. Jeremiah has a tenure of about forty years that he's warning the culture, warning the government, warning the people that you need to repent. And in this chapter, we're gonna see, some of the list of sins they committed, the offering of their own children, you know, at, Bel Ephinim. So it's not like they're innocent, and so it's treasonous. And Zedekiah, king of Judah, shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered in the hands. So Zedekiah tried to flee, went out the back door, but we're gonna see later that he was caught, captured, brought back. You And know how Jeremiah says you're gonna see him eyeball to eyeball? Well, you're gonna see him eyeball to eyeball. The last thing you're gonna see is your sons, I think he has, like, 23 sons, of them being executed before you, and then you're gonna pluck they're gonna pluck your eyes out. So that's the last thing you're gonna see, is that a guy. And so escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon and shall speak with him mouth to mouth and his eyes shall behold his eyes. And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon and there shall shall he be until I visit him, saith the lord. Though you fight with the Chaldeans, you shall not prosper. So you're gonna have to surrender. You're gonna lose this one, and, you know, it's God's decree. Verse six, and Jeremiah said, the word of the Lord came unto me saying now this is interesting. How do we determine if if it's the word of the Lord? How do we know? How do you really know when God's speaking to you? It It comes to pass? So in the interim there between the time you think he's speaking to you, how do you act? What do you do if you're not sure? If you're uncertain? You test. You test it? Yeah. How do you test it? Like Gideon did. Like Gideon did? Put a fleece out there? Yeah. Alright. Have you done that before? Yeah. Lord, if you want me to, then what'd you put out there before Or he can't say. Can't say? Yeah. Well, it'll come to you in a while. So Gideon actually put a fleece like that right there, that cover there. And the Lord caused the caused the fleece to get wet, but the ground remained dry. And I was like, well, I still don't know if I heard from him. Let's switch it around. Caused the ground to be wet, but the fleece to be dry, you know, or or reverse it. And and finally, Gideon's getting to a point. Alright. I think I'm I think I'm hearing from the Lord. So sometimes we say there's a fleece. Like, when I was in school ministry, the guys would say, Lord, if you want me to go in the ministry, cause my house to sell. And they'd have their house price up there pretty high, and they want above market value or even market value. I don't know. And their houses weren't selling. And I guess you don't want me to go. I guess you don't want me I guess I should just stay here. You know? And then pastor Ray says, guys, I know how to get your house to sell. If you really wanna go in the ministry, just lower the price $10 a week. It'll sell. It'll hit a price point that'll finally sell. They don't wanna hear that. I don't know what they wanna hear. Right? Not gonna do that. I'm not gonna sacrifice to go in the ministry. But so it's like, God, I let's make a deal, God. You ever heard of that show, Let's Make a Deal? So we're gonna make a deal with God. But and Jeremiah said, the word of the Lord came unto me saying, behold, Hanamel, the son of Shalom, thine uncle, so this is his cousin. Right? Shall come unto you saying, buy my field that is in Anathoth for the right of redemption is thine to buy it. According to Leviticus twenty five twenty five through 28, we saw this in Ruth, acted out with Ruth and Boaz, Ruth four one through six. So you have a kinsman redeemer. If somebody within your family, even extended family, got into debt and had a piece of land that the banks were gonna take from whatever, you or as a as a family member were to step in and pay the price of redemption, to not allow the land to go outside the family. And what a wonderful thing. Right? And and so approaching Jeremiah now you'd think Jeremiah, he's gotta be poor. Right? How how could he have enough money to buy a piece of land? You know? And you gotta buy it. And so there's kind of a guilt trip put on on Jeremiah. Now how much land do you think three miles from Jerusalem is selling for? Because remember, the Babylonians are already in Anathoth. They're already there. They're surrounding the whole area. So you got this local yokel hillbilly guy coming to you saying, Jeremiah, you gotta buy my land. Wait a minute. We're being overrun by the Babylonians. What's your land worth? Anybody gonna have any Yeah. Ability to do anything with a piece of land that the Russians just invaded here and, you know, are taking the country away the Chinese are here? You are you kidding me? The Chinese are invading America, and you want me to buy your land right now? We're about ready to go into captivity, about ready to die? You see what I mean? Who would do that? What a guilt trip. So I got a piece of property for you. So according to the word of the lord, so you're gonna put the word of the lord there on him. It's your responsibility. You're a prophet. The word of the lord says you need to do this. Right? So Hananiah, my uncle's son, came to me in the court of the prison. So everybody in the prison there is watching, listening. Oh, this prophet's so stupid. He's gonna do it, isn't he? He's gonna do it. So the court of the prison according to the word of the lord and said unto me, by my field, I pray thee that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin for the right inheritance is thine, and the reception, redemption is thine, buy it for thyself. And then Rob read the next part. Then I knew for sure that the message I had heard was from the Lord. So how do you know it's from the Lord? Yeah. You get confirmation. Confirmation. So first you got an impression. Right? There's an impression in time of prayer or reading. Lord impresses something upon you. I want you to I want you to buy this land. Your cousin's coming. And haven't seen him a long time, but he's gonna wanna sell you the land. So that's going on in your heart and your mind. And you tell your wife about it, she's, no way. No way, man. No way. You know? We're not doing that again. You know? But god would have to speak Cathy's heart too. Right? Can't force her. So you gotta wait and pray, but Jeremiah didn't have wife, did he? No no wife. But if you do have a wife, you can't run up ahead and force anybody. You're gonna have to wait. You're gonna have to wait till the Lord moves and works on her heart too. And and and it's always wise to wait. If if I'm gonna start a bible study at my house years ago or go to school of ministry or go into the ministry, at first, Kathy's in shock. You know, she's in shock. And and then and then I I'll sit there and I'll wait. I'll just wait. And and then she'll come up to me after a few days usually. It doesn't take very long. And she'll say, alright. Let's try it. Let's try it. Let's let's see if God's in it. So it's a venture of faith. You know? You're not quite sure you're in God's will, but step of faith. And one time she says, no. I don't want you to do that. You know what happens to us when you do that. So she's she's against the Friday night bible study and or me going to the ministry a second time trying to do it. And but then you just chill and pray, and then God softens her heart. And then we're in the school of ministry, and we're starting to watch our business erode and, you know, watching things fall away that provides stability. And and then I said, you know, do do you want me to quit the school and just completely focus on our business and dig ourselves out of the hole we're in? And she says, no. We've come too far to quit now. Well, that's all you need to hear because you can't force anybody, you know, can't grab her by the hair and say, honey, I'm a godly man and god spoke to me and by god, we're gonna do this and you're gonna like it. You know? You're gonna be poor you're gonna like it, Klaus Schwab says. You know? And so you have to wait. So she says, we've come this far. And then so then no matter what happens after that, you're of one accord. You're of one mind. You're the devil can't divide you. The devil can't divide your home, your family, whatever. And so you're taking that step of faith together. And so very wise for husbands and wives. If God's speaking to your heart, prayer prayerfully talk to your spouse and your kids, maybe if they're older, and let them know what God's stirring your heart about and then wait. Wait. Wait for the Lord to move on their hearts, for the Lord to give more illumination, revelation of what it is you're gonna do. A lot of times it'll be he'll be shutting some other doors, and then bringing to the point where moving forward is not not not that big a deal anymore. So it might take some time, but in this case, it didn't seem to take very much time. The Lord impressed upon his heart, and then this cousin comes along with this crazy idea. And then I knew that this was the word of the Lord. So confirmation, 100% confirmation. Now if you have 100% confirmation that you're in the Lord Lord's will and things start going sideways for you, not working out to what you might think they should work out the way it should work out. God's not promising Jeremiah anything in this. Just tell him in obedience, you know, to do this. So sometimes the Lord will say, hey, want you to I want you to do this. And you might be thinking, oh, man, this can be great, but it doesn't turn out great. It winds up being hard, difficult, whatever. And but if you know that you know that you know you're in God's will, what is the only way you can fail? By quitting. Yeah. See, there's demons and there's situations we're in where we get beat. It didn't work out the way we wanted. But the only way you fail is if you quit. If you if you don't quit and you just keep going, keep serving the lord and keep doing what he's called to do, you know you're in god's will. I'm not gonna quit. The only way you fail is by quitting. That's it. Doesn't mean you always win. Doesn't mean you always win and conquer and, you know, have the formula to make everything your kids turn out right, everything work out. I mean, you could run into trouble in your marriage, and the only way you you fail is by quitting. That's the only way you fail. But if you continue to believe and trust God that you're in his will, that I'm in his will being married, I'm in his will being the ministry, I'm in his will working at this place, some bad things happen to you, You know you're in God's will. I know it's in God's will when we bought that building. I know it's in God's will when we when I took that job, but then things went sideways. What? Didn't I hear from the Lord? I know I heard from the Lord. See, that's where that's the most important thing is to make sure, did you hear from the Lord? Do you know that you know that you know there's a jury in God's will? So every week, Kathy and I get confirmation that we're in God's will. That's all I need. That's all I need to know. I'm in God's will. And you just can never quit. Don't don't ever ever quit. The only way you get outside of God's will is quitting. It's not always God's will for you to conquer, for you to win every fight, every battle. People make you think that, they'll tell you that, they'll give you the faith, health, wealth, and prosperity thing, but getting cancer might be God's will. Having a prodigal son or daughter might be God's will, but you don't quit. So you gotta be sure. You gotta be sure that, hey, I didn't make a mistake in this marriage. This is who God's called me to marry. You know? And she might be wondering, oh, man. I wish I'd have never married him, but just gotta know that know that she know that she's in God's will. Otherwise, nothing makes sense. You're gonna doubt, and then you're gonna be unstable. You're gonna be vacillating. You're gonna be primed for the enemy to pick you off and get in your head and convince you, hey, that really wasn't God's will. Because if that was God's will, certainly certainly would have worked out much better. Right? No. Not necessarily. So he says, buy the field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin. So about three miles away from Jerusalem, right of inheritance is thine, and the reception is thine. Buy it for thyself, then I knew that this was the word of the Lord. And so it's stupid. It's a stupid business arrangement. Everyone's gonna think you're crazy. Why would you buy land that the Babylonians are concrete and taken? You're not gonna have no access to it. You're not gonna be able to build anything there. You're gonna be able to do anything with it. So at this point, now you need to go to Proverbs three, five, and six. Right? Because you're looking for a rational explanation. So trust in the Lord with all your heart. Not on your own understanding. Right? Ways acknowledge him, and he'll direct your path. So that's an attitude of faith. I'm gonna walk by faith. I'm gonna do what God's called me to do by faith no matter how many people are mocking and laughing and hooping it up there at the prison court there. Are you nuts? You're gonna conduct this business transaction right here in the in the court of the prison? And Jeremiah, you're crazier than we ever thought, you know? Your cousin just got you for $17.17 shekels, man. I got a piece of land for you to buy, Jeremiah. You wanna buy some more? You know? People wanna get some money before it all burns down. Right? But he's got confirmation. And I bought the field of Hananiah, my uncle's son that was in Anathoth and weighed him the money, even 17 shekels of silver. How did he do it? By faith. Irrational? Yeah. Irrational. By faith. You know you're in God's will. That's all you need to know. So now you say, God's ways aren't our ways. They're past finding out. As high as the heavens above the earth, so are his ways. You know? Right? Yeah. So they're past finding out. If we knew the mind of God, it wouldn't be faith, would it? Everything would be x's and o's, cause and effect. There would never be a situation we didn't already have mapped out and know the end thereof. So faith is the evidence of things hoped for. Right? And the substance of things not seen. And so we have a we have a peace in our heart, allowing the peace of God to lead and guide us knowing we're in God's will. And so we trust him. We're gonna hold his hand. We're gonna trust him, and allow him to unfold his plan. And I signed the deed. So this is a legal transaction. I signed the deed and sealed it and took witnesses and weighed him the money in the balances. And so Belteshazzar in Daniel five was weighed in the balance and found wanting, a debt he owed unto God. Jeremiah is way in the balance. He's got the proper amount, the 17 shekels of silver. So I took the deed of the purchase, both with which was sealed according to the law and custom and that and the other that was open. So you'd take one and you'd roll it and you'd seal it, put a seal on it, and that's the one that you'd store away in the safe or county records nowadays, digital records. And then there was another one that was opened. That was one that you could use and, you know, look at or prove that your ownership or whatever. But you don't wanna take this one, and many times they'd take and they put them in a clay jar. And so when we found the Dead Sea Scrolls, how do we find those Dead Sea Scrolls? Clay jars. Clay jars. He have a Qumran, which is a dry climate, right, preserving these scrolls. So same way this deeds. This is the way they would preserve documents, especially in a time where the Babylonians are gonna wipe out the courthouse in Jerusalem. Right? Courthouse can be gone. You know? So you better bury this in Anathas somewhere on the land, maybe. I don't know where. But, anyway, there's gonna be a deed there, and that deed, seventy years from now, Jeremiah, whoever, Daniel, somebody can find that deed and open it up or even an expression to everybody else that God's gonna restore you. Jeremiah is the one that's gonna let Daniel know you're only going to Babylon for seventy years, then you're coming back. That's why I'm buying up land right now because I know that I can pick it up pennies on the dollar. And later, I'm gonna be really rich. Right? So you're buying when everyone else is panicking and selling because you know what's gonna come back. So I took the deed of the purchase, both with which was sealed and according to the law and the custom and that which was open. And I gave the deed of the purchase under Baruch, the son of Neri, the son of Massiah, in the sight of Hanamel, my cousin, my uncle's son. And so Baruch was a scribe, and he was a friend of Jeremiah's. And in the presence of the witnesses and signed the deed of the purchase before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison. So Jeremiah, which is it? Is Nebuchadnezzar gonna wipe us out and take us away or are we staying here? Why are you buying land? Which is it? He's letting everybody know you're not gonna be here. So which is it? Why are you buying land then? And I charged Baruch before them saying, thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, take these deeds, this deed of the purchase which is sealed, this deed which is opened, and put them in an earthen vessel that they may continue many days. And so secure them. And so make a time capsule. You guys have a time capsule buried somewhere? Mhmm. You do? Nancy does? Yeah. Yeah. What's inside that? Can you tell me? Yes. I did it about forty years ago. Wow. House we built. It would be inside walls. I wrote the family history. Wow. When we started building a house, the animals we had, and what happened, I put it in a fruit jar, and it's in the wall. It's in your house? In my other house that you house we built. Oh, wow. Forty years ago. Praise the lord. That'd be fun. That'd be fun. Yeah. Yeah. This house instead, we wrote scriptures on the two by fours. Oh, nice. That's exciting. Praise the lord. Well, that's fun. So you have a time capsule there. So we're secure in Christ for thus saith the lord of hosts, the god of Israel, houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land. So that's a prophecy. Hope of return, hope of restoration, future remnant, settled real estate. Right? And and so you're gonna be coming back, the houses. So that's a good thing is that there's nothing evil about owning a house, nothing evil about owning a field, nothing evil about private ownership. Right? God's not a communist. You know? He's not anti wealth, anti material things. You know? It's it's the very heart of freedom, isn't it? The right of private ownership. You take away private ownership of of things and allow only Bill Gates and the Rockefellers and the Rothschilds and all them to to own everything, you'll own nothing and be happy. That's tyranny. That's the devil. That's not god. God is is, in the millennium, gonna give everybody a house and a fig tree, and and, and so you're gonna have a sense of of home. This is the family home. God's idea of the family. And and you're you're gonna be able to have something to pass on to your kids, gonna stay in the family. You're gonna be able to have generational wealth rather than inheritance taxes and things at the end of your life when you get sick and they strip you of all your wealth. All your wealth is gone. Can't have nothing to pass on to your kids because at the end of your life, the equity in your home, you know, it had to be sold, your insurance ran out. And then in in our culture, the kids don't like to be caregivers. So they'll put grandma, grandpa, mom, dad in a home, and the home is $10 a month if that's a low price. So a person that lives a while in one of those facilities, all their wealth, all their assets, everything is gone. And that isn't the way God intended it. You know? That isn't the way he intended it. So only the only the rich people keep getting richer. Right? Because they use their wealth to create more wealth. And but we don't understand that concept because we're not Jewish. They are the best with money, and it's because God's taught them. It's in the Bible. They're absolute best with money. One of the things we have not been taught in school, and I doubt very few people in this room have been taught, how money works. How did our moms and dads, did anybody any of us in the middle class, are we really taught how to work our money and allow our money to work for us? Or do we expend our time in exchange for money and we never catch up with a graduated income tax from 1913 and the inheritance taxes, sales taxes, and everything against us? By the end of your life, you're lucky to get out without leaving your kids with all these debts. Right? So it's it's something that's greatly missing in our and if our families are breaking down, divorces, now you gotta split half there, split it again. So you see these families, they stick together. They try to stick together, and they try to take the wealth from the family to pass it on to the next generation and try to alleviate poverty if you can. Poverty is not a good thing. It's not a good thing for those who are poor, rich in faith. Right, Cath? Alright. Now Jesus, to make a balance here, foxes have holes, birds there have nests, but the son of man has nowhere to lay his head. A man's life does not consist in the abundant things which he possesses. So we balance it. We're not covetous. It's not material things that make me have some worth. My worth is found in Christ, but we don't wanna be the poor people that judge and and because we're so spiritual and then demonize people that are good stewards with their money and have wealth. You know? Nothing wrong with it. If riches increase, the bible says just set, know, not your heart on it. So there's the problem. So Jeremiah, he actually has some money to buy some land, and God's promising here houses and fields and vineyards. I mean, think about that. If you had a house and fields and even a vineyard, what what how wealthy would you be today if you had a a great vineyard and had a wine place for people to come taste, you know? Pretty amazing. So hope of return. Verse 16, now Jeremiah goes into a time of prayer. Notice his prayer. Now when I delivered the deed of the purchase under Baruch, the son of Niriah, I prayed under the Lord saying, our lord god, behold, thou has made the heaven and the earth. So how does this prayer start out? Praise out of worship, out of describing the greatness of god. Right? Our father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name when Jesus taught us how to pray. Right? So our lord god, behold thou has made the heaven and the earth. So he's the god of creation. He's made everything. So your address, who are you addressing this prayer to? How big a problem do you have? How big is your god? You got a little god? You got a big god. How big is he? What problem are you facing that's too big for god? So we gotta direct that prayer. We gotta address this prayer to almighty God. Right? Heaven and earth. I gotta get my head around it because he's a big God. Our Lord God, behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth and by thy great power an outstretched arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee. So what's the word in verse 17 that if we're if we want to, we could cross out? Nothing. Nothing? No. It's a good Oh. Yeah. Ah, Lord. Ah. Ah, Lord? Good guesses. I'm not saying take anything away from the bible, but that word Hard? That word to there, t o o Yeah. You don't need that t o o. There's too hard for you. There's nothing Is there anything hard for god? Right. No. There's nothing hard for you. Does that still sound right? Yeah. Why is the to there? Emphasis? Is there some things that are hard for God? So now I gotta say, this isn't too hard for you? You see what mean? Yeah. It's implying some things can be hard. It's not. There's nothing hard for God. He's not sweating over your problem. Oh, man. You got the big c, man. You got the cancer. Oh, man. Oh, man. Oh, man. You know? It's ominous to us. It's huge. A lot of us perish through cancer. COVID hit, and that was the little c, but, you know, we're all gonna die. If I get cancer, Kathy gets cancer, it's gonna bring me to my knees. I'm be weeping. I'm be crying. I don't wanna miss her. I don't wanna lose her. It's gonna hurt, and we don't know if god will heal me or not. But but for some reason, when we hear that word, all of a sudden, it's like, this is big. Sally's got stage four lung cancer. And then we'll talk to Robbie and we'll talk to Betty and we'll say, what was it like when you had cancer? Well, I got through it. I've been seven years in remission, you know, and talk to other people. Hey, they've they beat it, you know? They survived. Then my buddy, Andy, the doctor told him you'll be dead in eighteen months, and he was. Eighteen months. Gone. State four lung cancer. So it's it gets your attention, but it's not a death sentence because we have to factor God into the equation and we're gonna learn how to pray. We're definitely gonna learn how to pray. He's definitely gonna help us narrow our life down and get our attention. And we're not gonna have really have time for things that don't matter when we're going through it. Right? Not gonna really have time for it. He's gonna definitely get us to make good use of our time. Strangely, we're gonna wanna be in church. We're gonna read the Bible. It's probably gonna deepen our walk and relationship with the Lord. We're gonna be praying for the doctors, the nurses, everybody. And we're gonna keep reminded and be reminded by everybody there's nothing hard for God. We're gonna point each other to the Lord, give this to the Lord, keep giving it to the Lord. And I talked to Alan Court today and they gave me an update on Sally and and I said, Cora, I don't know anybody that's gone through as much as you have. I said, you're a really good example, a woman of faith that just never gave up and kept believing and trusting God. And and she expressed how it was much easier for her to go through this, but how difficult it is to watch Sally go through it. Yeah. So in Genesis eighteen fourteen, god came to Abraham and Sarah, and he told them something impossible. This time next year, your foxy beautiful wife's gonna be pregnant. Now she's 89 years old, and he's 99. And his name's Abraham, father of many, but he doesn't have any except Ishmael, which he went into Hagar to pull that off. He had to help God out. Yeah. What a help that was. Right? And so what happened in chapter 18? What was Sarah's reaction? She was. She laughed. Oh, she laughed. How'd she laugh? What kind of laugh? Joy? It's kind of a snicker. I don't think it was audible. She laughed within her own heart, and the lord knew it. She didn't like, you know. But but the lord said that you did laugh. She says, no. But you're right. It could be like that. But what kind of laugh? Incredulous. Right? Oh, yeah. Incredulous? Like, oh, yeah. Right. And didn't she even express it? After all these years, you know, all these years, you know, now? We've waiting twenty four years. That's insane, isn't it? Got right on time. Yeah. Whichever, I am old. Am old. And it even says she's past her age of bearing children. She's gone through menopause. God purposely sets the stage, doesn't he? And why does he do that? To prove his He gets all the glory I hear over there. If we could figure it out or help God out, he wouldn't get the glory. Yeah. He'd half the glory. Yeah. I helped God out. You know, God used me in a great way because I'm faithful. You know? I never quit. You know? Yeah. And so he knew he could trust me. And so Abraham, the father of our faith, he's a liar. He went down when there was a famine in the land, and he went down down into Egypt. Right? And then it happened again. And he went in the area of the Philistines without a a hemlock, and he did it again. Tell them you're my sister. You're so beautiful. They're gonna kill me to get at you. Right? So God's gotta give the guys hemorrhoids to get them released. Right? They got all these problems. You know? And and then they finally they're leaving there. Don't you touch her, you know, God's saying. And so they finally leave, and and the guy's like, Abraham, you're a liar. Where's your integrity? And so now here he is, and they come into the camp, and Sodom and Gomorrah's gonna be messed up. You know? And Abraham's gonna negotiate in their regard of Lot. And these three men come to camp, and one of them's the lord. Two of them are angels. Angels that are go into Sodom, and Abraham and Sarah, this time next year you're gonna have a son and we're gonna call him laughter. We're gonna call him Isaac and fill your tent with laughter. And and then God asked the question, is anything too hard for God? Is there anything hard for God? So that now we need to personalize it. Is there anything in our life that we're dealing with that's hard for God? Mhmm. Is there anything? Now after ten years, fifteen, twenty years of praying for somebody you love, have you given up? You've given up hope? You've given up hope that that promise that God's gave you when you're 75, when you're 65, when you're 50, that he gave you twenty years ago, twenty five years ago, he impressed it upon your heart. You know he spoke it to you. He gave you a dream. He gave you a vision. He impressed upon your heart the same way he did with Jeremiah, same way he did with Abraham and Sarah. He told them if you could look up at the stars, if you look at Genesis fifteen and seventeen, the Lord's given him a promise. About a number. Your posterity is mean more than all the stars of heaven in you and your seed, Abraham, all the nations of earth are gonna be blessed. Now after twenty four years, do you think you've given up? Given up hope? A confident expectation? You kinda give up? Do you pray as much for it? Are you intense as you're praying for it? Are you intense about it as you were when you're younger, when you first were yearning and aching for God to give you a child or give you a house or bring your prodigal home, fix your marriage, whatever it might be, restore you to loved ones, heal somebody, Then the lord comes in an appointed time, and he fulfills his promise, and everybody's looking at Abraham and Sarah. They say, it's a god thing. And god comes to a little village where there's a priest, and this priest doing his priestly duty in in Luke's gospel, Zechariah and Elizabeth, and Elizabeth can't have a baby. Her womb's barren, and and she's given up. Zechariah's given up just like Sarah and Abraham gave up, and yet the lord says to Mary, Mary, you're gonna conceive and bring forth a child, Luke chapter one. And and your cousin Elizabeth, she's six months pregnant. She's already six months pregnant. John the Baptist, the cousin of Jesus, filled with the Holy Ghost from Elizabeth's womb, right? And Zechariah didn't believe, so God made him mute, made him so he couldn't talk the whole duration of the pregnancy, right? And and so the same thing is anything hard for God, anything too hard for God, is there anything we're facing? And these stories are there. Notice verse 27, behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for me? So twice. Anything. Anything too hard for God, how big is he? Nothing is too hard for thee. Job, he found out. God, you do whatever you want. King Nebbe found out, you do whatever you want after eating grass for seven years. Right? And in chapter 18 of Luke, Jesus said it's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter heaven. The disciples asked, well, who then can be saved? With man, it's impossible, but with God, all things are possible. So again, how big is our God? So we use the word factor. Every problem you face, every difficult you have, if you're looking at your own means, your own ability, your own ingenuity to fix it, you gotta factor God into the equation. When you factor God into the equation, nothing's hard. Everything's possible. There's nothing impossible when you factor God in. So make sure that by faith, you're praying as Jeremiah is praying here. You're an all powerful God. You're omnipotent. You're omniscient and you're omnipresent. The devil's not omniscient. The devil's not omnipotent. The devil's not omnipresent. But our god is. Everything is naked and open before the eyes with whom we have to do. These technology guys, they're trying to they're trying to create a human being. They're trying to create a god. They're trying to become gods. Thou sowest thou showest loving kindness under thousands and recompense the iniquity of the fathers under the bosom of the children after them. The great, the mighty god, the lord of hosts is his name. And so the love of God he comes to, the justice of God, the fairness of God given to everyone according to the fruit of their doings. You know, he's you reap what you sow. And he says, verse 30, for the children of Israel and the children of Judah have only done evil before me from their youth, for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, saith the Lord. They've been disobedient the entire time and Jeremiah is pointing out that God is loving, he's long suffering, he's kind, great in counsel, mighty in work. You need counsel? Do you need someone to counsel you? Jesus said he'd send the comforter, the holy spirit to counsel us, his word to counsel us, and mighty in work for thine eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men to give everyone according to his ways and according to the fruit of his doing. So everything's naked and open for the eyes with whom we have to do and he sees everything. Who has set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt even unto the day and the Israel's and among men and has made thee a name as at this day. And so savior, Jehovah, God is salvation, Jesus, the Messiah, the anointed one. There's no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. There's only one name, that's Jesus. Amen. Every knee is gonna bow and every tongue is gonna confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Now, there are 10 different men and we had to research our whole life long which one of the 10 that we'd wanna follow, that'd be kinda hard, wouldn't it? It's real simple. It's just one guy. Just get to know this one guy. One exclusive guy. Why? Because he raised himself from the dead. That's it. End of story. End of argument. It's over. If you think you can do it, then be crucified, buried, raise your shove from the dead, and then we'll analyze it. We'll look at it. You know? But until then, we don't even have time to listen to you, globalists. You know? Don't even have the time. Right? It was brought forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs and wonders. The Exodus, how awesome that was, strong hand and with an outstretched arm and with great terror. So he used a lot of plagues, the 10 plagues, and has given them this land which thou did swear. So whose land is it? It's their land given by God, the grace of God, to their fathers to give them land flown with milk and honey. And they came and they possessed it with, but they obeyed not thy voice neither walked in thy law. They have done nothing of all that thou commandest them to do. Therefore, thou has caused all this evil to come upon them. I have difficulty with that. How do we define that word evil? God's caused all this evil to come upon me? Adversity. Right? I like the part where it's like, they have done nothing nothing of all that thou commands Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Disobedience. And yet all of us, all we like sheep have gone astray. Every single one of us, all we like sheep have gone astray. There's none righteous. No. Not one. Amen. All we like sheep have gone astray, the lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. Amen. And so god makes us all guilty so that he can be gracious. For by grace are you saved. So the laws of reaping and sowing. He says in verse 24, behold, the siege mounds, they are come under the city to take it, and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans that fight against fight against it because of the sword, of the famine, and of the pestilence, and what thou hast spoken has come to pass, and behold, thou sees it. So like we described the Daigle report, it's coming. The sword, the famine, the pestilence, the five g, the four g, the chemtrailing, all the different toxins in our food, the toxins in the sky, all the thing coupled with five and four g with the Department of Defense and the tech companies, we are in the mode of population reduction. It's happening right now, and they're right on schedule to bring America down to 90,000,000 people within a year and a half within a year from now. That's a whole lot of people dying. And thou hast said unto me, o lord god, buy the field with money and take witnesses for the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans. Then came the word of the lord unto unto Jeremiah saying, behold, I am the lord, the god of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for me? So don't you don't need to doubt Jeremiah. Don't doubt what I just had you do. I need to remind you again there's nothing too hard for me. Nothing hard. So Proverbs three, five and six again. Right? Lean not on your own understanding. We have to keep going there. And but but but but but no buts. Only but god. But what what what what yeah. But. Yeah. But. Yeah. But. What's a yeah but? What's a yeah but? What's a yeah but? Yeah. Yeah. But. That's unbelief. That's unbelief. But God, just factor God in, and then rest in his sovereignty, rest in his omnipotence, rest in his you're in his will. If you know that you know that you know you're in his will, you can rest because he's a good God. And he's promising he's gonna work all things together for good for those that love him and are called according to his purpose. And if I agonize and I'm filled with anxiety and worry, then I lose the blessing of this day. How many days do I wanna waste away worrying? I can't control if my hair is gonna be white or black. Right? I can't add 18 inches, a cubit to my stature. I can't make myself taller. Right? If I can't do those simple things, why do I wanna play God? I'm gonna have to walk by faith, aren't I? I'm gonna have to trust him. He takes care of the fouls of the air. He closed the field, greater glory than Solomon in all of his glory. Right? He'll provide for me. He'll clothe me. He'll cover me. He's got a plan and a purpose for my life. Therefore, thus saith the Lord, behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it. And then you gotta remember, they only get it for seventy years. Mhmm. Then Cyrus the Persian comes and takes it from them. You know? Takes Babylon from them, but also gives Jerusalem back to Nehemiah and Ezra and the remnant that's gonna come back. So there's seventy years that they're gonna go into captivity. God's gonna discipline them, and he's gonna bring a remnant back to start over again in the, you know, in the land. And and the Chaldeans that fight against this city shall come and set fire to this city and burn it with houses and those roofs that have offered incense upon Baal. So you've used your roofs to offer incense unto Baal. Well, I'm gonna cause fires to burn your roofs, to burn your houses, to burn them down. You didn't think I saw, but I did. And poured out drink offerings unto other gods, little g gods, to provoke me to anger. So I'm gonna use fire to purify the place. Right? I'm gonna burn it to the ground. For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have only done evil before me from their youth for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, saith the Lord. So incredible disobedience. Haven't I done one good thing, Lord? Isn't there one good thing I did? So I'd have to say with Paul, in me, that is in my flesh, dwells no good thing. Where is boasting then? What do you have with that which has already been given you? Right? Even even what's been given you, even what you use in a good way, you can't boast in because it was given you from God. You have to give God the glory. He shares his glory with no man. Right? Mhmm. So in me that is in my flesh dwells no good thing. So by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. You can't work it. You're never gonna be a good enough Catholic to get into heaven. Never gonna make it. You're never gonna be a good enough Mormon to get into heaven. You're never gonna be a good enough Jehovah's Witness to get into heaven. You understand that? Mhmm. The only way we get there is by the blood of Jesus. Amen. By grace through faith. By grace through faith. And then you know what? I don't have to work. I can rest. Why? Because what did Jesus say on the cross? It is finished. It is finished. What's finished? The work. The work's finished. The work. It's his work. Work of redemption. I can rest. His yoke is easy. His burden is light. The function he has for me, the job he has for me, the service that I get to do is a privilege and a blessing, and it's it fits me. It's exciting. It's exhilarating. It's a blessing to be yoked up with Jesus and to serve alongside him. But I'm not serving him for salvation, I'm serving him from salvation. Right? I'm saved. And now as a saved person, I have the blessing of being used of him however he sees fit, you know, and it's a blessing. He has a function for me within the body, a place that I belong within the body, a purpose in life. I might write a book, The Purpose Life. Yeah. But not driven. He doesn't drive his sheep. He leads his sheep. Right? A purpose that he leads me in. Right? K. For the city has been to me a provocation of mine anger and my fury. I don't wanna see God angry. I don't want him to go to the point of wrath. And I'm so thankful that I'm not subject under his wrath as a Christian. Right? I'm not appointed under wrath. How do I know that? Because he poured out his wrath upon Jesus in my place. Right? I don't want him to be angry. So from the day that for this city has been to me a provocation of mine anger and of my fury from the day that they built it. Now think of that. This is Jerusalem. This is Abraham in Genesis meeting with Melchizedek, the king of Salem. Right? This is a city of peace. But in Revelation chapter 11 verse eight, it says, they killed the two witnesses. How was the city described? Three things. Like Sodom, like Egypt. What do those conjure up? And where they crucified Jesus. That's what Jerusalem became. Like Sodom, Egypt's like the world and where they crucified Jesus. Ain't that amazing? How far we slide from what God hope and potential and what he has ordained and he wants, that's the city where Jesus can rule and reign from. The antichrist wants to rule and reign from there. The devil wants to rule and reign from there because he knows Jesus is gonna rule and reign from there. You know? So if you're if you really wanna hurt the heart of God, find the most beautiful, the most innocent, the greatest gift of all and putrefy it, corrupt it, it, decimate it. And the ugliness, the devil's ugly. He wants everything to be ugly, yet the devil can appear beautiful as an angel of light to deceive. For the city has been to me a provocation of mine anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even unto this day that I should remove it from before my face because of their unbelief, because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, their prophets, their men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. Did he leave anybody out? None righteous. No. Not one. And they have turned unto me the back and not the face, though I taught them rising up early. So they they turn their back to God, disrespectful of God. They won't give him their eye. You know? He says in Psalm 32, don't be like the horse or like the mule that need a bit in their mouth where God has to use pain to direct your life. But focus. Put your eyes on me. I'll direct you with my eyes. You know? Delight thyself in the Lord to give you the desires of your heart. The Lord's putting in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. So we walk in fellowship with him. The desires we're experiencing or desires he's placed there. The desires you have to serve him and to be used of him for his kingdom and his glory. Those desires emanate from him. And they have turned unto me the back and not the face, though I taught them rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction. And so this is this is a hard thing for a parent. It's a hard thing for a pastor, a parent, a brother, a sister. You're in a position to teach the younger, to instruct the younger, and you want them to not make the same mistakes that you've made. You've learned a few things along the way, and you're just trying to shield them and keep them from falling into the ditch and falling prey to liars and being seduced and hurt and all that just carnage and stuff that happens. And what do they do? They kick you out of the church. They kick Jesus out of the church, man. And and in their in their pride, they're saying we're rich, we're increased with goods, and we're in need of nothing. Time of prosperity. We don't need Jesus. We got it figured out. Right? And Jesus is on the outside knocking. Right? Genesis Revelation three twenty. Behold, I stand at the door and knock if any man hear my voice and, you know, open the door and the doorknob's on the inside. Right? He's not gonna turn the knob. He's just knocking. But you gotta exercise your will, turn that knob and open that door and allow Christ in again. Right? Let him in. He said, I'll come in, I'll sup with him and he with me. He's speaking individually to any person in that city, any person in that backslidden lukewarm church. He's also speaking of the church collectively, you know? The Laodicean church, the apostate. Laodicean means people rule. People are ruling. They're not allowing Jesus to rule. It's people rule church. It's it's people deciding what they want. Teachers having itchy ears is who they want. And doctrines of demons and fables and things like that. And so Jesus is kicked out and, hey, we look successful from the outside because we're rich and increased with goods in need of nothing. And he gives the true evaluation. What's that true evaluation? You're naked? Wretched. Wretched? Miserable. Miserable. Poor, blind, and miserable? Blind, and naked. That's a bad thought. That's your crew. And and what's he counsel them to buy? To buy me gold tried in the fire. Amen. For thou might thou mayest be rich and white with white raiment. Praise the lord. Be clothed and that the shame of thy naked nakedness do not appear and and anoint thine eyes with eye salve so that they may see so that you can see. So he wants to give them the true riches, the true eyes to see, and but they're delusional. They're in denial. They're clueless. The emperor has no clothes. Right? That's what's happening. But they set their abominations in the house, which they call by my name to defile it. So they bring idols into his house, into the temple, just like the antichrist is gonna go into the temple and declare himself to be god, demand to be worshipped as god, the abomination of desolation. And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom. So in the outlying areas of Jerusalem, they built these high places to practice a lot of their idolatrous practices, which is burning of children and and sacrifices and such, and always an incitement for sexual activity too. And for some reason that's part of the whole occult is illicit sexual activity, frenzy frenzied kind of things with children, anything anything that's contrary to the proper use. The opposite of what God intended is what the devil does. And things that break God's heart. So they built these high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech, which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind that they should do this abomination to cause Judah to sin. And so on the Baal and on the Molech, they'd have these these arms, outstretched arms with these statues, these altars, and they take these babies. So they're in these sexual orgies in the groves and all about, and they're cutting themselves, and they're they're in an occultic kind of a frenzy kind of a thing. And then they have on one of pregnancies. And then these a woman gets pregnant. She might be a temple priestess. And so part of the whole temple scene, like in Corinth, they had a thousand priestesses that had come down. It was a navy town at night. And so when they offer themselves to these sailors and all these people in Corinth, they would take these monies back to the temple. So it's a part of remuneration for the for the temple. But there's always these unwanted pregnancies just as presently the abortion in America and all around the world is a result of living for pleasure rather than for God. What are you gonna do with these one night stand, two night stands, six months of whatever, but no commitment in a marriage. We're we don't wanna raise these kids, have these kids, whatever, so we're gonna sacrifice them onto Molech and onto Baal. And and God's saying, that concept never even came into my mind. Manasseh sacrificed one of his own kids. So when it says Hinnom there, it's a Valley of Hinnom outside Jerusalem, so it's a dump of perpetual burning. So now we have in the New Testament, Gehenna, the Lake Of Fire. The Lake Of Fire is gonna be the eventual abode of the devil, of the false prophet, the antichrist, and for the wicked dead. So there's different names for hell, different names for the grave, but eventual abode is the Lake Of Fire, Gehenna. And so picture here. And so these satanic devices that destroy the deceiver, the devil. And today, one of the most prominent things, I don't know if they were doing this in that day, one of the most prominent practices is adrenachrome, and you guys already know what that is. And so how I mean, haven't got better. People people still do these demonic things to children as part of their worship system in the occult, in the worshiping of Lucifer, the worshiping of the devil. And and it's just they have a bloodlust. They're like vampires. They want little children's blood. So the corruption must be stopped. They're writing for judgment, and it's an abomination. He says verse 36, and now therefore, thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel concerning this city of which you say it shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword and by the famine and by the pestilence. And so as I said, Revelation 11 verse eight, city of Sodom of Egypt and where our Lord was crucified as the two witnesses lie in the city there, He says, behold, I will gather them out of all countries. So now here comes the hope. Here comes the promise. This is the dark side. This is a dark velvet. Now I'm gonna place within that dark velvet this beautiful multifaceted diamond, the unsearchable riches of Christ, the the multifaceted personality of God, the Godhead, and all the you can see is a God that's just, a God that's holy, that has to judge sin, but there's another side of his character where he's merciful, he's gracious, he's loving, and he's able to restore. You know? He has a plan of redemption to redeem mankind. And so behold, I'll gather them out of all countries to which I have driven them in mine anger and in my fury and in great wrath, and I'll bring them again into this place, and I'll cause them to dwell safely. And a purified remnant, Zechariah thirteen, eight and nine, as they come through the tribulation period, a one third remnant is gonna be purified and come back into the millennial rule and reign of Jesus Christ. Presently, he's regathering them in unbelief. Blindness in part has happened unto Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles come in as we're in the church age. And and so 05/14/1948, the nation was reborn according to Ezekiel thirty six and thirty seven, But ultimately, this progression is gonna continue. Even angels are gonna be sent out to gather his elect from the four quarters of the earth and all the different geographical areas he's gonna call them call them back. And they shall be my people and I'll be their God. So God has not replaced the nation of Israel with the church. Mhmm. The church is a mystery once hid now revealed. And that Jew and Gentile, male, female, barbarian, Scythian, bond or free, doesn't matter what color your skin, God made you that way. We all have the same blood. We're redeemed with the blood, the blood of the lamb. And as Ravi pointed out this week and others have been pointing out, we're in a mode of everything being divided, trying to get everybody against each other. And Jesus promised that. He said that there'd be nation would rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom that were nation as ethnic groups. So the devil wants to get various ethnic groups to hate one another simply because of their different ethnicity, and yet we're all from Adam. Right? We all stem from Adam, and you and I, and Isaac shall thy seed be called the true Israel God of those who believe. So when he says to Abraham, in your seed, all nations of the earth be blessed, that speaks to the Gentile nations. So we're children of Abraham. We're children of God because of faith, because we believe the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob, our God's a Jew, and there's no place for antisemitism. Does it mean we give Israel free pass? No. They can be immoral. They can be sinful. God's judging his own people. So, again, don't don't fall for the trap of being blind to, you know, knowledge brings responsibility. Actions bring responsibility. So I'm I'm definitely grafted into the true vine. I love Israel the way I love America, but it doesn't mean I give America free pass or Israel free pass because I know ultimately God holds each nation accountable. God's gonna take his own nation, Israel, and put them through the worst time anybody's ever seen called the great tribulation period, called the time of Jacob's trouble. He'll purify his own people. It's gonna be the greatest holocaust they've ever seen. And not just them, but the whole world is gonna go through this holocaust, you know? Two thirds of the whole planet is gonna die in a very short period of time called the great tribulation period. You and I are gonna be raptured out. And I don't know why people are getting tired of the rapture doctrine. It's the most beautiful, wonderful truth that you could ever meditate upon, the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great god and savior. And so that's where my hope's at. So purified remnant, verse 38, and they shall be my people and I shall be their god. I love the pronouns. I love the pronouns, personal pronouns in Psalm 23. You guys wanna from memory, you wanna recite Psalm 23? The lord is my shepherd. I shall not want. He maketh me Lie down in green pastures. He leadeth me. My soul. He leadeth me beside the still waters. Restores my soul. Then what? He restores my soul. Please be the path of righteousness For his name's sake. Yey, they will walk. Through the valley of the shadow of death. And I will dwell in the house of the lord forever. Sounds like you belong. It sounds like you're a sheep and not a goat. The lord is your shepherd. Right? You can personalize that. The lord is my shepherd. I belong. I'm a sheep, not a goat. Goats are cute, though. These are my people, and I will be their god. I belong. I'm a child of god. I'm a Christian. And I'll give them one heart and one way. No more divided heart. No more chasing after false gods going everywhere, be an unfaithful bride. The this the wife of Jehovah. We're the bride of Christ. That they may fear me, fear in the sex sense of respect Mhmm. Respect for one another in this relationship. They're gonna fear me forever. For the good of them, it's good for them. It's good for them that they fear me. It's good for them not not like coward and fear like he's gonna beat me over the head, but a respect that we revere God. He's a holy God. And for the good of them and of their children after them, that God's intervention is that I I wanna bless you. If you're if you don't fear me, the fear of the Lord's begin in wisdom. Fear of Lord's begin in knowledge. If you're walking around like idiots, you're gonna suffer because I'm a God of laws. I've got laws of nature. I've got spiritual laws. I got I got I got things that'll happen to you. I'm not gonna be mocked. Whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap. And so you need to walk in harmony with me, in harmony with how I've instructed you to walk, in obedience unto him and his word. And I will make an everlasting covenant. We saw that last week. The new covenant. Jeremiah 31 verse three, an everlasting love, with ever lasting love, and I've drawn you. Right? 31 verse three. The Lord has appeared of old enemies saying, yeah, but I love thee with an everlasting love. Therefore, with loving kindness have I drawn thee. And so with one heart, one way that they may fear me for the good of them and of the children of them. And I'll make an everlasting covenant, the new covenant of thirty one thirty one through 33 with them that I will write it on their heart. Right? That I will not turn away from from doing them good, and I will put my fear in their hearts that they shall not depart from me. So the fear of the Lord. And then Zephaniah three seventeen, he says, and I will rejoice over them with them and doing them good, you know, so the rejoicing over them, the dancing over them, the joy as he's joying over them, rejoicing over his people, as he saved them, bringing them into the millennium, the marriage supper of the lamb, and I will plant them in this land, Amos nine fifteen. I'm gonna plant you in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul. So all the way, nothing half hearted, nothing halfway with God. And so if we're gonna serve the Lord according to Colossians, serve the Lord how? Half heartedly, whole heartedly. Whole heart. Serve him heartily as unto the whatsoever you do, do it heartily as unto the Lord, not unto men. For you serve the Lord Christ. Who are serving? If you're serving Jesus, give it your whole heart. Just give it your best. Do your best. Chuck used to say, give your best. Do your best and commit the rest. So your best may not be good enough, but commit it to the Lord. Allow the Lord to make up the difference. Right? For thus saith the Lord, as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them. God's gonna keep his promises. God is good. And fields shall be brought in this land, which he of which you say, it is desolate without man or beast, and it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans. So God's gonna say, I'm gonna restore you into the land. This is your land. You're gonna have this real estate. It's your real estate. Doesn't belong to the Arabs. They got plenty of land. All the other nations have their land. Just a little sliver here. We're gonna expand it a bit when you finally get into the millennium, but it's yours. Men shall buy fields for money. So private home ownership. What a great idea. Right? Before the Rockefellers got in and messed everything up in America, 1913, the Aldrich amendment took place. The Aldrich amendment was basically what the Rothschilds did. Every twenty years, they would do a charter where they would like with Abraham Lincoln, he had his greenbacks and Andrew Jackson, would allow a charter with the Rothschilds to control some of the banking. So congress is able to issue currency, but these bankers wanna take over, you know, the currency of of nations and as the bankers. And so Andrew Jackson had a couple assassination attempts against his life, and and, of course, Abraham Lincoln tried to go against the bankers with his greenbacks and all, and he he suffered. There's another anomaly about that in that the czar of Russia resisted the Rothschilds. And and the Rothschilds, these these cabals have a long memory. So the czar of Russia put a flotilla of ships that came down into San Francisco Harbor as a show support, to Abraham Lincoln and what he was trying to do, and that there was a federalization, a a centralization of government from the federal government. But the bankers, European bankers, are trying to gain control of of the banking system, and and they were charging huge interest rates for Lincoln to fight his war. So he issued some greenbacks like the constitution allows for you to issue your own currency. And so they basically with Wilkes Boots, you know, they they killed Lincoln. And then later, in the communist revolution, they have a long memory, they annihilated all of the czar Rush's family, his whole dynasty and all. So then you go a little further and you go to John Fitzgerald Kennedy, and he signed a bill to abolish the Federal Reserve. That's what he did. He signed a bill to abolish the Federal Reserve. What's the Federal Reserve? Federal Reserve is the Aldrich Mammon in 1913 that was signed on Jekyll Island. So what that did was is it rather than a twenty year charter, it's over a hundred years now. It's a hundred and ten years hundred and ten years now that these bankers, that our government gives to the Federal Reserve, which isn't federal, it's like Federal Express, the authority and the power to run the economy, to run the currency. And so, the Rothschilds will tell you they don't care what the laws are, who people vote for, whatever, as long as he controls the currency, they can that dynasty controls the currency. So John Fitzgerald Kennedy was killed for that. And the first thing that Linda Bainch Johnson did was rescind that order to abolish the Federal Reserve. And then Bobby Kennedy was killed because he could go in as attorney general and see the George Bushes and the CIA and everybody that are behind this. So then he's killed. Right? And Lyndon Baines Johnson gets in there, and he's he's part of it. And so he he takes he's the guy that made the separation of church and state because he almost lost running as a Texas senator. Some churches were involved, and so he gets that through prior to that. And then soon thereafter, or right around that time, you get prayer out of the schools, the bible out of the schools. And another thing that happened was in 1913, they came with a graduated income tax. And the graduated income tax made it so that for the very first time in America, people were paying taxes, you know, like income tax. The other types of tariffs and taxes would come from things you'd purchase, so plenty of money for a small government to operate. So then they tried the league of natures that didn't work, and they developed the IRS and the United Nations after World War two, then the New Deal. The New Deal is a greater deal where America now becomes in control of the currency, the global currency. The dollar became the global currency and won out against the the European, the British, the British sterling. So now America has the global de facto currency. They've got the largest military in all, the United Nations with the Rockefellers and the IRS income tax. Now what happens is the fifties, you could buy a house really inexpensively, but gradually, it's increasing the the pressure against the family. And so now moms have to go to work in the sixties in order for families to own a home. So now you got the public school, which the Rockefellers developed. The Rockefellers took over medicine, pharmaceutical, standard oil, the whole thing. They took they took it all. And they're lieutenants underneath the Rothschilds, so they got all these think tanks, trial out commission, and and all the Illuminati's, all all these kind of different different globalist thing. The only thing holding them back is a church filled with the Holy Spirit. But when the church corrupts, then the salt is good for nothing but to be trodden at the foot of man. So here we are today, and and that's the they're at the point where nobody's gonna own anything. You're gonna own nothing, but you're gonna be happy, Claus Schwab is saying. So that's a ploy of the devil. The devil wants to take it all, and these bankers are so greedy. They want it all. And what's other interesting thing I've been thinking about is they act like they're acting out their god complex in genocide. They're killing of people. I don't know what it does to Bill Gates, this idea of killing everybody, of making them starve, of injecting little children. What is it? What's in their mindset that motivates them? That I how do you have enough time to dedicate your life to that kind of stuff? But but they do. So they have to be occultic. They have to be demon possessed. They have to be and I mean, they're they're they're highly motivated. They dedicate their life to this stuff. And thankfully, Jesus is gonna return and restore everything. And one of the things he says here, I'm gonna plant you in the land, everything that's been taken away from you. Men shall buy fields for money and sign deeds and seal them and take witnesses in the land of Benjamin in places about Jerusalem and in the cities of Judah and the cities of the mountains and the cities of the Shephelah and the cities of Negev for I will cause the captivity to return, saith the Lord. So God's gonna bring peace and prosperity. It's his idea. Right? Can't get there through communism, but the Lord will get us there. Peace, prosperity, gonna reverse the curse. No more curse upon the on the ground. It's gonna bring forth fruit, and, nobody's starving anymore. No more wars. None of that stuff. So that's the kingdom age. That's the millennium. That's where he's gonna bring the nation of Israel. That's where he's gonna bring the church and the tribulation saints and the Gentiles that walk into the millennium having come through the tribulation period, and they were favorable toward Israel. Right? So four types of saints. Right? Old Testament saints, New Testament saints, tribulation saints, and the saints in the millennium. Right? You're either a saint or you're an anoint. Alright. Nobody's almost pregnant. Nobody's almost saved. Alright. Let's pray. Father, thank you. Lord, we pray that you would love on us. Pour out your holy spirit upon us, Lord. Lord, we know you never take your eyes off of us. Thank you for the comfort of your holy spirit, the comfort of reading your word, the comfort, the joy, and the blessing of knowing we're in your will no matter what happens, Lord, as long as we're in your will. Lord, you're smiling. The smile of God is upon us. We can sleep at night. We have we have we're restful. No anxiety. And, Lord, you're on the throne. You're in control. You're sovereign. We know everything's happening according to your plans. In your plans, you're working all things together for good to those who love you and are called according to your purpose, Lord. We pray for the peace of Jerusalem. We pray pray for the nation of Israel. We pray, Lord, that you would undergird and strengthen them, that you'd open their eyes to see the truth. We pray, Lord, that you prepare them as a nation to as they're gonna enter into the tribulation period. And, Lord, that one third remnant, you know who they are. And, Lord, we pray that that they come to that place where they glorify you once again, Lord, where you're well pleased, where they're shining bright as a great light under the Gentiles, showing the Gentiles the way is through Jesus Christ. Lord, we pray they come to know you. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
