Okay. We have, Jeremiah 51 tonight. Next Sunday after church, we're gonna have a going away party for Ronnie and Fred who are moving out of this wonderful blue state called Washington. They served the Lord here forty three or forty four years, and now it's time to go to beautiful Arizona for the sunshine and their grandkids and their children and all. So we're excited for them and sad for us. So anybody listen on Facebook, that's tomorrow or, excuse me, next Sunday after church from two to six. Two to six. You can get more info by praying. Lord will show you where it's at. Alright. So Rick, forgot to mention yesterday, and maybe you could put it out there, that there is a full kitchen there. People need to heat up or cook or whatever. Okay. There is a full kitchen there, I'm told, so you can bring your food and warm it up and such. And there you go. Alright. Any other oh, and we're praying for John. And alright. Isaiah excuse me. Jeremiah 51. Father, we come before you, and, Lord, we ask that you'd be our teacher once again, that you'd open the scriptures to our understanding. Lord, we desire truth. We desire, as you said, Lord, you'll know the truth, the truth will set you free. Lord, we don't wanna be a part of any lies. We wanna keep digging down to discover the truth in your word, but also, Lord, in the world in which we're living. We wanna be wise as serpent, gentle as doves. We don't wanna be seduced. We don't wanna be lied to anymore. We don't want to vote for anybody that's a liar, anybody that is even less evil than the other, Lord. There's just no point. And so Lord, I pray that righteousness would prevail. I pray judgment begins in the house of God. I pray that people would give their vote for you, Lord. They'd vote for you by giving their whole heart in supporting all that that is involved in, building people up spiritually, Lord. The problem is a spiritual problem, and I pray that people would prioritize and put Jesus first. In your name we pray. Amen. Amen. Alrighty. So so thus saith the Lord, behold, I will raise up against Babylon and against those who dwell in the midst of those who rise up against me a destroying wind. So we had a campaign with our military called desert storm. And we'll send unto Babylon wind oars that shall fan her and shall empty her land, for in the day of trouble, they shall be against her roundabout. And so they're gonna be there with fanning the flames, fanning the flames of judgment. And, you remember what John the Baptist said at the beginning of his ministry that, there'd be a baptism of fire and, when Jesus comes and, fanning the flames of that judgment. So judgment begins at the house of God. Repentance is, you know, essential for us at this point in time. So we see the nation of Babylon used as a battle act, used as a hammer, to subdue nations, and now it's time for the lord to, deal with Babylon. When we say now it's time, this prophecy is written about fifty a little over fifty years before it actually happens. Jeremiah's prophesying the doom of Babylon, and and so there's a picture of the impending judgment. Now also many commentators, many people today are looking at Revelation seventeen and eighteen and trying to tie it in with, Jeremiah fifty and fifty one, that somehow they're they fit together. There are some similarities, some things that we'll see here that are mentioned in in Revelation seventeen and eighteen. But, this this prophecy is definitely for Babylon when about a little over fifty years when Belteshazzar Daniel five, when Cyrus, the Persian, and Darius, Mede, when they subdue Babylon. But that's gonna be a while up ahead. And then telescoping ahead in the future, there's gonna be a reemergence of Babylon. We see Babel in Genesis ten and eleven, the Tower Of Babel with Nimrod and all. So that religious system that originated there in Babel, the worshiping of of Lucifer, basically, and Baal and Ashtoreth and all that. It continues throughout throughout history. In Revelation 17, there's an apostate church that's worshiping the devil, and the Lord's the Lord's gonna wipe it out. And then in Revelation 18, the political and economic system, of the seventy seven of Daniel, the tribulation period, is gonna be wiped out as in a moment. So there's there's, similarities, if you will. Alright. And against against him who bendeth, let the archer bend his bow and against him who lifts himself up in his coat to mail and spare not the young men, destroy utterly all her host. So gonna wipe them all out, wipe them completely out. There's gonna be an invasion. Thus saith thus the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans than they who are thrust through in their streets. So all your fallen heroes, your Chaldeans are gonna fall. For Israel has not been forsaken nor Judah of his god, of the lord of hosts, though their land was filled with sin against the holy one of Israel. So this is an important thing to understand that that although Babylon sinful, Persia meets Persians, Israel sinful, land was filled with sin, and God brings the Babylonians to judge his own, the Assyrians to judge Israel, the 10 northern tribes, and then Babylon to judge Judah. The lord's saying, I'm not gonna abandon them, though. I'm gonna restore them at a a future date. But, the emphasis here upon upon God's faithfulness that he's gonna complete the work, that he's begun in them. And so you and I as Christians, we know that Jesus will never leave us nor forsake us, and God's gonna complete the work that he's begun in us regardless of, you know, how well we do performance wise. The Lord is gonna complete that work. Flee out of the midst of Babylon. So same sort of thing that's said in Revelation eighteen four, flee flee out of the same thing Jesus said. You know, when you see Titus surrounding the city, you guys should flee, and many did flee and, survive. But, the ones that remained in Jerusalem when Titus surrounded, destroyed it, died. So flee out of the midst of Babylon and deliver every man and his soul. Be not cut off in her iniquity for this is the time of the lord's vengeance. Vengeance is mine. I'll repay, saith the lord. Very difficult for us to watch the criminal government that we have, to watch the criminal globalist, to watch it all taking place and nobody gets arrested, nobody, you know, has reached payday. Revelation seventeen seventeen explains part of it. The Lord's allowing them to set the stage of the beast system because Jesus is gonna come back and vengeance is his. Vengeance is mine. I'll repay, saith the lord. And so, it can be very frustrating to watch and say, how long, oh lord? How long, oh lord? But God is long suffering, not willing that any would perish, that all would come to repentance. So that's the answer back to us. And when the Lord was letting Habakkuk know what was gonna happen, that God was gonna use the Babylonians, Habakkuk was just so blown away that an evil nation like Babylon would be used to subdue Israel and to discipline them. And the Lord's statement back to Habakkuk was what? The just shall live by faith. You're gonna have to live by faith, Habakkuk. Yeah. Right? Yes. And so too with us. We're gonna have to continue to walk by faith because we can't understand all that's going on in these last days. It doesn't make sense. It seems, and we know it's evil, the evil that's escalating, innocent people and this once great country being, taken over by communists, Luciferian communists, is very, very difficult to watch and to watch the silence of the church. The church doesn't wanna talk about, what's happening all around us. So vengeance is mine. I'll repay, saith the lord. He will render under her a recompense. So there's a payday coming. It's appointed unto all men once to die and then the judgment. That's the payday. Everybody's gonna stand before god, they're gonna give an account of what they've done. You and I, our sins were paid for upon the cross of Calvary, so there's no fearful looking to of judgment for you and I. When we die, we simply move. We move out of this body into our new glorified, body. So he will render under her recompense. Babylon has been a golden cup, in the Lord's hand that made all the earth drunk. The nations have drunk of her wine. Therefore, the nations are mad. They're demonic. They're going crazy. So a golden cup in that God's poured out his wrath upon the rest of the nations, Egypt and such with Babylon. Also, you'll see that in Revelation seventeen and eighteen, the nations were seduced by Babylon, and they were seduced with the sorcery. They were seduced with the pharmakia and the false religious system that was intoxicating people, during the tribulation period or that will intoxicate people during the, tribulation period. And Babylon has been a golden cup in the Lord's hands, made all the earth drunk, and the nations have have drunk of her wine. Therefore, the nations are mad. And so Revelation 18, verse three and twenty three. Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed. Wail for her, take balm for her for her pain. If so be, she may be healed. So there's no cure. Gonna fall suddenly and, died suddenly. Died suddenly. That's a phrase today. Right? Mhmm. Died suddenly. All these people with the COVID shots dying suddenly, dying suddenly, dying suddenly in the in the prime of their life. You know? And so the shock the shock value here, it's gonna happen so quickly. And when we look again at Revelation 18, the world of the merchants are looking on and the city's destroyed suddenly, just like a nuke hit it. And, the smoke going up, and nobody can go near it. And Babylon has fallen, Revelation eighteen two and three. So Babylon suddenly fallen and destroyed, wail, and take the balm for her. If so be that she may be healed, there's no cure. Is there a cure for America? No. Anybody have a cure for America? Repentance. Repentance. So we're hearing repentance would be the only way for America to receive a reprieve. Right? Yep. The same way that Nineveh received a reprieve. Right? It was repentance that touched God's heart, and God gave Nineveh over a hundred year reprieve before they backslid once again and they were ripened, you know, under judgment. So the only solution in America is for the churches to come to repentance. And, without that, we are cooked. It's over. You can put a fork in it. Is there any man that's gonna come along and save us? No. Anybody in the election cycle gonna save us? Nope. Nope. Pedro. Been there before? And, you know, a lot of people are very angry at me for saying vote for Pedro. Really? Yeah. And I just wanna say, it's my opinion. There you go. Is that the butterfly kiss? Kiss it goodbye. Kiss it goodbye. Kiss America goodbye. So it's it's idiocy. He was thinking about butterfly. It's absolute idiocy. The the the definition of insanity is continuing to do the same thing expecting a different result. The today, the article that I read was in guard in regard to the state of Arizona having irrefutable evidence of voter fraud and the machines and a golden key and all that, came to the Supreme Court to analyze the evidence, irrefutable evidence that the election was stolen, and the Supreme Court just threw it out, said that's none of not nothing we wanna look at. So they're not even gonna do anything about it. Absolute irrefutable proof that the algorithms and the computers were set up with a golden key. They called it a god key that whoever analyzing and dealing with whoever voted, nobody's even calculating, they can change it any way they want. And so those debold and those dominion machines are still in play for the so called next election, and people think they're gonna get a different result. It's just mind boggling. So then they say back to me, well, what's the solution? What's the solution? And I say, I don't know. I'm gonna walk by faith, but I can't believe in that system. That system broke. You know? So the only thing I know is to call people to repentance, get right with the Lord. And that's what Jeremiah's doing. He's trying to call people to repentance. He spent forty years trying to call the nation to repentance, but they wouldn't. They wouldn't. So guess what? You reap what you sow. So we would have healed Babylon, but she has not healed. Forsake her and let us go everyone who is his own country for judgment reaches unto heaven and is lifted up even to the skies. And so it's happening everywhere. There's no escape from the judgment that's coming. The Lord has brought forth out righteousness come and let us declare excuse me. I went too far. No. The Lord has has brought forth our righteousness. Come and let us declare in Zion the work of the Lord our God. So our righteousness, salvation, the Lord has brought forth. And, we have a champion, and that's Jesus. So for me, I would say I'm voting for Jesus. And they say, well, how's that gonna work in a practical way? Well, that's because I'm putting the Lord first, and he says, seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, all these other things be added unto you. So if we every single person in the church did that, then we have a promise that the Lord will work this thing out. But if the if we don't, if we just put Jesus outside the church and we say we're rich and increased with goods and in need of nothing, he looks at us as delusional church of Laodicea, and he says, you're naked, poor, blind, and miserable. So you're the ones that are delusional. Now I I want I've asked people when I've sat with these political people, I've asked them, do you attend church each Sunday? Do you are you involved in a Bible study? Are you what are you doing for the kingdom of God? I said, I want you to vote for the kingdom of God. Amen. And so people can abandon and they can reject me. They're not voting for me. They're not voting for Rick Bodrey who's teaching the Bible. They've rejected Rick Bodrey because of his opinion concerning Donald Trump and and the whole election fraud and the COVID and and all the people that have died. I can't vote for a guy in all conscience that owns the Warfaree Jab. I don't care what he promises. I can't do it. It'd violate my conscience. So so we all vote every day. We vote with our feet. We vote with putting the Lord first. And in churches, that's how we don't have a membership church at Calvary Bremerton, but people are able to vote, and it's called voting with your feet. If you like what's happening, then you stay. If you don't like what's happening, then you leave. And I understand that. Vote with your feet. That's good. So I vote with my feet. You know, I keep going back there. So make bright the arrows, gather the shields, and the lord has raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes for this purpose against Babylon to destroy it because it is the vengeance of the lord, the vengeance of his temple. So vengeance is mine. The Medes and the Persians, May, Daniel 05/31, that's when this is gonna happen. So it hasn't happened yet, but, Daniel's or excuse me. Jeremiah's letting you know. So you remember on that night that the Belteshazzar, the grandson of Nebuchadnezzar, was partying, and they had the instruments and all the bowls and the cups, and they were getting drunk. And the walls were 80 feet thick. The walls were 350 feet high, 270 towers. And we read last week in Isaiah, the last verse of 44 into 45, how the Lord named Cyrus, his surnamed him, a hundred and ninety years before he was born. And, and the lord caused the waters of the Levied Gates. Cyrus and the guys, redirected the water of the Euphrates River, which flowed into the city to give him a water source. They had twenty years of food. These guys were preppers. They had twenty years of food stored up and, water, and they didn't think that anybody could penetrate, you know, their into their city. And and as in a moment, Cyrus, Darius, the Medes, and the Persians took down the Babylonians. So way back in Daniel two, Nebuchadnezzar had a dream. Daniel interpreted it, And it was a head of gold, which is Babylon, a chest of, silver, which was the Medes and the Persians. And then it was, the legs of brass, Alexander the Great. And then it was, iron and clay. The feet were mixed with iron and clay, which is the Romans. And so those are the four world empires that Daniel, interpreted with Nebuchadnezzar's dream, and it's proved to be true and so true that commentators, people that refute the bible say that was written after the fact. No. It wasn't written way before the fact. Yeah. Alright. So, set up the standard upon the walls of Babylon. Make the watch strong. Set up the watchmen. Prepare the ambushes for the lord has both purposed and done that which he spoke against the inhabitants of Babylon. So 100%, 100% accuracy of what god says. You say to somebody, you think that's I'll say to somebody, hey. You think that's good? A 100%, pastor. A 100%. People use that term 100% a lot right now. Right? How would you use it? A 100%. Think Donald Trump's gonna save America? A 100%. 100%. 100%. There's people like that. Right? Yeah. Well, when it comes to the word of god, you can take it to the bank. It's 100%. 100%. It says, oh, thou that dwells upon many waters. So Babylon was on many waters. The Euphrates River flowed underneath its levied gates. Abundant in treasures. So everywhere they went, they stole the treasure, including Judah, including Egypt. They had the spoil for many of the countries that they conquered. Thy land has come and the measure of thy covetousness. You know, they wanted more and more and more and more. And so, the lord's saying, the spoil that you took is gonna be given to the Medes and Persians. The lord of hosts has sworn, and since he can't swear by anybody greater than himself, according to Hebrews six one through three or six thirteen, he swears by himself. So you might I swear in my mother's grave. I swear on Biden that this is true. You know? Right? And on his reputation. And the lord swears by himself. You can bank on it. Surely, will fill thee with men as the caterpillars, and they shall lift up a shout against thee. So there's they're gonna be overwhelmed. Apparently, they're gonna spend the Medes and the Persians are gonna spend an entire year with 200,000 soldiers to take down the walls of Babylon. That's how extensive, the city was, how how well built. He has made the earth, and by his power, he has established the world by his wisdom and has stretched out the heavens by his understanding. Okay. So we're gonna look at some verses. This is who we're talking about. This is this is the god that makes this promise, and he can deliver because he's the god of all creation. So if you're Babylonian and you're worshiping the sun, you're worshiping the moon, you're worshiping Baal or Astron, these are made up gods, little g gods. We're talking about the true living gods. So if you're if you're Daniel, you're letting Nebuchadnezzar know that the god of creation, the true living gods, the one that revealed your dream to me, king, and so you're identifying who your god is. So who wants Colossians one sixteen and seventeen? Me. Alright. And who wants Isaiah forty twenty two? Forty twenty two. I'll take it. Forty twenty two. And who wants Matthew eight twenty six? Okay. And then who wants Psalm fourteen two? Alright. And then who wants Lamentations three twenty four? My god. Okay. So I'm gonna give him as I read the verse, I'm gonna ask for him. Okay. So he has made the earth by his power. He has established the world by his wisdom and has stretched out the heavens by his understanding. So we need Colossians one sixteen and seventeen. For by him were all things created that are in heaven and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thorns or dominions or thrones or dominions or principalities or powers, all things were created by him and for him. So we're speaking of Jesus. Right? Colossians one, he's the creator. And and by all by him, all things consist. He's created it. He holds everything together, visible and invisible. What if we could see in a different dimension, you know, see the angels that are in the room here and all. He made the angels. He made the atoms, the protons. He made everything. So in Genesis one, it says in in the beginning, god created the heaven and the earth. That word created is bara, out of nothing. So when Rob or Vicky or Shannon or Cheryl or Sean or anybody wants to build a deck or build something, fix something, you have to go purchase materials. Borrow means out of nothing. There were no materials. He created everything out of nothing. That's our god of creation. And by him, he holds it all together. So a satanic lie that's being pushed super hard today is that our god is not a god of order, that the climate is messed up, the ecosystem is messed up, that the polar ice caps are gonna melt, that everything's falling apart because of human beings on the planet breathing, and there's too much carbon, and that carbon is causing, quote, unquote, climate change, which is a bold faced lie, and that lie goes against, you know, our God of creation. So and and I wish people could stand up and smell the coffee and explain it better. But And then the next one is Isaiah forty twenty two. It says, he has stretched out the heavens by his understanding. So a span, though all the heavens, is a span from here to here. From the pinky to the thumb is a span. That's how big God's hand is. And the telescopes that are out there that are showing us the, you know, the galaxies far, far, far away, are God's bigger than even his you know, than space out there. So Isaiah forty twenty two for you flat earthers. Anybody a flat earther? It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers that stretcheth out the heavens as a certain and spreadeth wait. Sir am I saying that right? Certain. Yeah. Certain and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in. So how many people are afraid to go on a road trip this summer because you might drive over the edge of the planet? Anybody? That's amazing. Flat earthers. Wow. Wonder how that works. Alright. So when he utters his voice, there's a multitude of waters in the heavens and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth. He maketh lightning with rain and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries. And so our god's in control of his creation. He's a god of order. So it's it he's describing here precipitation. He's describing the evaporation of water, goes up into the clouds, it forms, you know, once again, gathering water in the clouds, it gets heavy, it comes down here to rain, comes onto the ground, and nourishes the earth, you know, waters the earth, and then you got the dew, and you got the different different temperatures that change. And, again, so the whole the whole cycle of, you know, watering the earth is is a result of, our god being a god of order. Now the disciples were told to get you know, we're getting in a boat, they were heading with Jesus over to the area of Gadara crossing the Sea Of Galilee, and a storm came up. And these are fishermen. These are guys that are supposed to be high testosterone fishermen, not afraid of nothing. Right? So Matthew eight twenty six. And he has or he saith unto them, why are ye faithful? Oh, ye of little faith. Then he arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. Just eight twenty six You can go further. Okay. But the man marveled or the men marveled saying, what matter of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him? Ain't that amazing? So Pilate's saying, don't you know that I can crucify you? You know, what who are you talking to, Pilate? He he's the guy that controls the wind and the waves. You're talking to the guy that created everything. You know? He's the one that made this tree that these guys cut down and, fashioned into a a cross for me to hang on. You know? You're talking to the creator. You're talking to almighty god. And so the disciples are just blown away because what manner of man is this that even the wind and the waves obey him? You know? So when they're moving forward, in their discipleship group with him, they're thinking about the Romans and the power of the Romans, and they're thinking, Jesus can wipe out the Romans. You know? Jesus if he can control the wind and the waves, there's nothing the Romans can do to stop him. You know? And so that's why all of them were thinking, who who's gonna sit on the left hand? Who's gonna sit on the right hand? Because, certainly, Jesus is the Messiah, know, you and he's gonna wipe the Romans out. And they never saw the cross. They never saw his willingness to be the lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world. It didn't occur to them. And later it made sense to them, but not at that point. So so every man is stupid by his knowledge. Every goldsmith is confounded by the engraved image for his melted image is falsehood, and there's no breath in him. So Babylon is the the center for idolatry. The children of Israel were being idolatrous. When the Lord sent them to Babylon for seventy years, it kinda cured them of their idolatry. They were so saturated with idolatry, and they began to move in the direction of commerce, is what they, began to invest themselves in in Alexandria, Egypt, and other places. So this idolatry, the lord says, you know, they're they're stupid. Psalm 14 verse two. Alright. There's none that seek after god. So eyes they have, they can't see. Ears they have, you fashion. You know, they can't hear. Mouths, have, but they can't speak. So what's gonna be interesting in the time we live in is the beast system. They're gonna they're gonna make they're gonna try and make a human being that's gonna be the image of the beast. And so it's supposed to be omniscient, knowing everything, omnipresent, gonna see everything, but it's a counterfeit. Not gonna be able to do it, but they've come a long way, baby, in their fashioning of idols. These idols can at least talk. They can use holograms and different types of technology to make people think that, you know, that it's happening, but but not gonna happen. And so they are vanity, the work of errors in the time of their judgments, they shall perish. And vanity, vanity, all is vanity and vexation of spirit, just empty and dead. And the portion of Jacob is not like them for he is the one who formed all things and Israel is the rod of his inheritance. The lord of hosts is his name. So the portion of Israel, Lamentations three twenty four. The lord is my portion, saith my soul. Therefore, will I hope in him. Praise the lord. The lord is my portion, saith my soul. Don't you love that? People want various things. They covet things. If you could choose what you could have, the lord's your portion. Now in today is Passover. Right? Yeah. Right? You guys know it's Passover today? Think so. Start of Passover? So Exodus chapter 12 talks about the lamb of God, the lamb slain before the foundation of the earth, Exodus twelve twelve, as the children of Israel are in Egypt, and God's inaugurating, the feast of Passover and of unleavened bread, and gonna go seven days on into the eight days, the first the first day of the week. And and so the Lord is our portion. John the Baptist said, behold the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. One of the sad things about Passover, the children of Israel were instructed to take take the lamb and to roast it and not a bone of it to be broken and to, eat part of it, but to take the blood and to put it in the shape of a cross across the top of their door and down the side, and the angel of death would pass over. Right? And the firstborn child of Pharaoh and the firstborn of anybody that didn't do that act of faith, you know, would perish that night with that last plague. And the Lord was using this because he was gonna redeem, Israel and bring them out of out of Egypt after four hundred and thirty years suffering there. But what's interesting is you can go through the motions, you can go to church, and you could even celebrate, you know, the Passover. And the third cup that you're gonna drink is the cup of communion that Jesus, inaugurated there, and, and you could miss the meaning. You could miss that the Lord is that lamb that takes away the sins of the world. He's the one that's gonna go to the cross and die one day, and and Jesus died on Passover. That's when he was crucified was on Passover. So the Lord's our portion. So thou art my battle axe and weapons of war, for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms. Now this is a really good verse for a guy that's, you know, fights in the octagon and thou art my battle axe. And this guy that just beat Justin Geith, he's from Hawaii. What's his name? Anyway, I see it flashes of it all the time, and I watched it. He knocked him out. But what caught my eye is he had there Jeremiah fifty one twenty, and I'm like, he's a Christian, and he gives the Lord the glory after he whoops some guy. And but he says this is the one that caught his eye. Thou art my he's saying the Lord's saying, I'm your battle axe. Right? Battle axe knows. See, thou art my battle axe, verse 20, and weapons of war. For with thee, I will break in pieces the nations, and with thee, I will destroy kingdom. So you're God's hammer. You're God's hammer of judgment. The Babylonians were God's hammer of judgment. And with thee will I break in pieces the horse and his rider. His name is Max Holloway. Max Holloway. It just came to me. And he's a Christian, and he's out of, out of Hawaii. And Justin Geith, I think, is out of Washington. And so with thee will I break in pieces the horse and the rider, and with thee will I break in pieces the chariot and his rider. With thee also will I break in pieces man and woman, and with thee will I break in pieces old and young, with thee will I break in pieces young man and the you know, all of them, all of them wiped out. And I also break in pieces with thee the shepherd and his flock, and with thee will I break in pieces the farmer and his yoke of oxen, and with thee will I break in pieces, captains and rulers. So everyone is in the crosshairs, of the judgment when God sends out his battle axe out of the Babylonians, and that's how it works. Now I've been thinking more and more about farmers, production of food, and how many farms and farmers are going out of business and committing suicide and having a very difficult time because the globalists are wanting to starve us. You know? And so I think we should all say lots of prayers for the farmers in this country. Right? We appreciate the veterans. We appreciate all them that sacrificed, you know, their lives. But these food growers and people that have dedicated themselves to providing food, it's a phenomenal, phenomenal service they provide because in the time of that we're reading about, it's an agricultural society. Everybody was a farmer. Everybody had to grow food and be responsible to growing the food and and and and all. And, later, with, the technology, we're entering into an industrial age. Not everybody had to have gardens because we can just go to the store and get our food and all that. But the Lord said, I'm gonna wipe everybody out. Everyone's gonna be wiped out. And I'll render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldean all the evil that they have done in Zion in your sight, saith the lord. So they're gonna reap what they've sown. I've used you as a battle axe to wipe nations out. Now I'm gonna wipe you out. Behold, am against thee, oh thou destroying mountain. The mountain is a picture of a kingdom, so the kingdom of Babylon. So all thou destroying mountains, saith the lord, that destroys all the earth, and I'll stretch out my hand upon thee and roll thee down from the rocks and will make thee a burnt a burnt mountain. So there's not gonna be anything left. We're gonna burn everything down. And they shall not take of thee a stone for a corner and a stone for a foundation, but thou shall be desolate forever, saith the lord. When Jesus was looking at the temple, the people were so enamored with the second temple, Herod's temple. Jesus let them know that what not one stone would remain upon another. And you know the story. The the fire broke out in the temple, and the Romans pry barred every single stone to get the gold that had melted into the cracks. And so in the time of the first temple here, Solomon's temple, they they wiped it out and burned it. And now the Lord's saying, we're gonna wipe you out and burn you. There's not gonna even be a foundation stone lamp. Set up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her, Call together against her kingdom of Arat, so Turkey. And Minion asked Kenyazaz and appointed captain against her because the horses to come up like the rough caterpillar. So speaking of Iran, the Persians that are coming, the Medes that are coming, prepare against her the nations with the kings of the Medes, their captains, and the their rulers and all the land of dominion. So this is over fifty years before it actually happens, Daniel five, and there's a picture of, the Medes and the Persians that are gonna come up with their horses and be the instrument that god uses to subdue the Babylonians. And the land shall tremble and the sorrow for every purpose of the lord shall be performed against Babylon to make the land of Babylon a desolation without an inhabitant. The mighty men of Babylon have forborne to flight. The mighty men have fled. They're leaving. They have remained in their strongholds. Their might has failed. They became like women. They have burned, no offense to women, her dwelling places. Her bars are broken, so they're running home. They're distraught. And, maybe like women that are pregnant, you know, screaming out. One post shall run to meet another and one a messenger to meet another to show the king of Babylon that the city has taken at at, at one end. So the media blitz, everyone's gonna hear and know that it's coming apart, that it's happened, where it's gonna travel, and that the fords are seized and the reeds have they burned with fire and the men of war are in a in a panic. So what had happened was when Cyrus and Darius rerouted the Euphrates River, dammed it up and all, many of the channels, the channels that would provide water and distribute water to farmland and such caused the ground, to dry up so there's no water there. But the reeds that were along the river, Cyrus lit on fire, burned them, and, and so burned it up. Just burned it up, and chaos ensued. Everybody going crazy. For thus saith the lord of hosts, the god of of Israel, the daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor in a time that's thresher, yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come. So, there's a beating that's coming. God's gonna beat the the colonel, and the the shaft's gonna blow away, but, gonna beat you like that of a threshing floor. And you remember that Jesus told Peter, Satan desires you, Peter, that he may thresh you as wheat. And what that means is Peter, Satan's asking for permission to beat on you. And ever taken a beating from the devil? I don't think I've ever had one. But and, anyway, I'm just joking. All of us have. The hedge of protection removed, Peter. But I'm praying for you, Peter, Jesus said. Ain't that great to know that Jesus is praying for us? That Satan has to go through the Lord Jesus to get to us? I'm praying for you that your faith fail not. So, Peter, before the cock crows, you're gonna deny that you even know me three different times. You're gonna be so dejected that you wanna quit and go back to fishing. Even after you see me, you know, resurrected, you're gonna be so dejected that you failed me. But Peter, I'm praying for you that your faith fail not. So get your eyes back on me, Peter, and, trust in me, and I haven't given up on you. You love me more than these? Yeah. Lord, you know I love you. Feed my sheep. Tend my lambs. Feed my sheep. So the beating that's coming to these guys. And, for thus saith the lord of hosts, the god of Israel, the daughter of Babylon, like a threshing floor. It is in time to thresh her yet a little while, so it's time to thresh her. The time of her harvest shall come. So the harvest of you're reaping what you've sown. You're gonna you're gonna reap a beating. Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, has devoured me. He has crushed me. He has made me an empty vessel. He has swallowed. So speaking of Judah, he swallowed me up like a monster or like a snake, like a dragon. He has filled his belly, with my delicacies. He has cast me out. So the captives are, like, vomited it out, and he's taken all the precious things that Israel has. The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon shall the inhabitant of Zion say and the blood upon the inhabitants of the Chaldean in Jerusalem say. So vengeance is coming. It's payback time. God hears. Therefore, thus saith the lord, behold, I will plead my cause and take vengeance for thee, and I will dry up her sea and make her springs dry. So, emptied out. God's gonna empty them out. They're guilty. And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwelling place for jackals and a whore and a hissing without inhabitants. So, not a piece of real estate that anybody's gonna want. And they shall roar together like lions. They shall yell like lions' whelp. So they were once fierce, but now they're they're they're weeping. In their their heat, I will make their feasts and I will make them drunk that they may rejoice and sleep a perpetual sleep and not wake, saith the Lord. So they're gonna be knocked out. God's gonna cause them to get so drunk, they're gonna be knocked out. And, and that's exactly what happened, the night that Belteshazzar was getting everybody drunk, and, the handwriting was on the wall. Men, men, teko you farson. He thought, man, did I get some bad liquor? What's happening? What am I seeing there? And, and so your kingdom's been waiting in the balance and found wanting. Your kingdom's over. Your kingdom's divided and given to the Medes and the Persian. On that very night, Belteshazzar, died. He got knocked out, and he went to sleep and didn't wake back up. I'll bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he goats. You're gonna be food for the birds, we'll read in in Revelation 18. How is Sheshack taken, and how is the praise of the whole earth surprised? This is mention of Babylon, 2526, another name for them. How has Babylon become a horror among the nations? The sea has come up upon Babylon. She is covered with the multitude of its waves. So she's swallowed up by the invading army that's coming against her, the Medes and the Persians. Her cities are a desolation, a dry land, and a wilderness, a land in which no man dwells neither does any son of man pass by it. And so a desert, absolute desert, desert storm. And I'll punish Baal, Baal is the name of their god, in Babylon, and I'll bring forth out of, his mouth that which he has swallowed up, and the nation shall not flow together anymore unto him. Yea. The walls of Babylon shall fall. And so remember we talked about the walls more than 80 feet thick. So if you watch Ben Hur and they're doing the chariot races, they're doing the chariot races up on top of the walls. Right? And so why to have four car lengths, you know, or whatever? And then 250 feet high, 250 towers. So just enormous, enormous, enormous building. And recently, I saw a picture of the Titanic next to a cruise ship. The cruise ship was absolutely enormous, and the once great Titanic looked just like a little tiny tugboat in comparison. It's amazing. Right? Yeah. Yeah. I wonder what the Ark the arc Noah's arc, how it would compare size wise. We did that on a blanket, so it's probably the size of a blanket. Noah's arc. I cross stitched one. Oh, that's nice. I saw that in my nursery. Yeah. That's nice. Yeah. Are you gonna go visit the Ark in Kentucky? There's a there's one to scale there. I wanna see it. Really? To scale? Yeah. Uh-huh. It's huge. I haven't gotten to see it. Let know what we're doing. Yeah. And you guys can go visit Robbie. Greg down there. There you go. Together anymore unto him, yet the wall of Babylon has fallen, my people go out of the midst of her and deliver every man his soul from the fierce anger of the lord. So they're gonna flee. These people are fleeing. I know you guys are thinking. I know you're thinking. Yeah. Yeah. Robbie's Robbie might be there. Hi, Robbie. Hi, Robbie. Unless your heart faint and you fear for the rumor that shall be heard in the land, a rumor shall both come one year and after that another year shall come a rumor and violence in the land, ruler against ruler. So don't fear. Reject the rumors. You Well, you and I shouldn't fear any rumors. We shouldn't be overwhelmed with fear. And, unless your heart faint and you fear for the rumor. So much of what's happening today, again, is never a time of greater deception than the time we're living in now. And our generation, just unbelievable deception. So be not deceived, but part of what that deception produces is fear. And Joseph Goebel said, once you get them afraid, you can get them to do anything. So fear is the opposite of faith. That's why the only hope for America is men and women of faith to trust in Jesus and to come to that place of repentance where the Lord will raise up some new leaders because the present leaders we have are corrupted, and they represent us in the sense that we're corrupted. We're a very corrupt nation. So fear is the big thing. When COVID happened, that was one of the things we tried to do is try to calm people's fear, get them to walk by faith. We kept saying over and over again, eighty eighty nine point nine percent recovery. Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid. And it was it was wasn't it wasn't promoted in that way. It was promoted as a pandemic, and enormous amount of people are gonna die. You know? Everyone's gonna die. And so, as JD Frog says, the, vaccine was not produced for COVID. COVID was produced for the vaccine. The real coup de grace was getting people jabbed. That's what the globalist wanted is to jab you. And so lot of rumors, lot of misinformation, doctors misinformed, a lot of people, churches and stuff. And so it's always so important to bring it everything back to the lord to pray about it, do your due diligence, and look for the facts before you act. So therefore, behold, the days come that I'll execute judgment upon the carved images of Babylon, and her whole land shall be confounded, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her. So mass graves mass graves are gonna take place as the lord judges them for their idolatry. And their idolatry, when you read the book of Revelation seventeen and eighteen, people got drunk. The woman that rides the beast, the harlot that rides upon the the Antichrist is a false Babylonian religious system. And so and they were drunk with the blood of the saints too, killing the the true believers. Therefore, behold, the days come that'll execute judgment upon the carved images of Babylon, and the whole land shall be confounded, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her. Then the heavens and the earth and all that is in them shall sing for Babylon. For the spoiler shall come unto her from the north, saith the lord. So who wants to read Revelation eighteen twenty? Who? Me. Got your finger there? Revelation eighteen twenty? Or whoever. Okay. Go ahead. And then somebody else can read Genesis 12. I'll read Genesis 12. Twelve one through three. One through three. Revelation eighteen twenty. Just will not turn to that page. It's at the back of the book. I know, but it but it's just the one page. It won't turn. Okay. Are you ready? Here we go. Rejoice over her, thou heaven and you holy apostles and prophets for God hath avenged you on earth. So the heavens and the earth and all that is in them shall sing for Babylon for the spoilers shall come unto her from the North, saith the lord. So everyone's gonna rejoice when Babylon falls. Right? The heavens are gonna rejoice. Alright. And, as Babylon has caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of the earth. So Genesis 12 and this is something that Americans and Christians and all of us should remember this promise here. Genesis twelve one through three. Now the Lord has said unto Adam, get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will sow sow thee, and I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great, and thou shalt be a blessing. And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curse thee, and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. So that's a promise to Abraham, not Adam, but Abraham, Abram. And he says, I'm gonna bless those that bless you and curse those that curse you. So when you mistreat the nation of Israel, America, you reap what you sow. There's all sorts of things that, judgments that come against America when we mistreat. So if we're siding with the Muslims presently in this this war in Israel and we're telling Israel to stand down. And according to Zechariah 12, the whole world one day is gonna turn against Israel, including America. And when that happens, boy, watch out because I'll bless those who bless Israel. I'll curse those that curse Israel. And then in thee, in your seed, all nations of the earth would be blessed. It's speaking of Jesus would be a Jew. The virgin born son of God would come from Abraham's loins, and he's the savior of the whole world. And so the blessing of the nation of Israel, the blessing of of, our savior being a Jew. So you never wanna be anti Semitic. You never wanna be a part of a a replacement theology, a false doctrine that says the church has taken place, the place of the nation of Israel. You never wanna be a part of that because that would not be blessing, Israel. So ye who have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still, remember the Lord of afar off and let Jerusalem come under your mind. So run home. We are confounded because we have heard reproach. Shame has covered our faces for foreigners are come into the sanctuaries of the lord's house. So the house of the lord has been defiled. Jim was talking about the enormous amount of foreigners that are filling our country up. The part of what happens in a time of war is a national sovereignty is eroded and a nation, its identity, is, destroyed through infiltration. That was part of what you would do is you would conquer a nation. You would cause an enormous amount of your people to be placed in that country. And many just like they did with, with Israel, they pulled them into Babylon. They brought, held them captive. And it only takes a couple generations for a country to lose its identity because of all the intermarrying. And and so this has been the practice of the globalists in Europe for many years now to flood Europe with Muslims and the Muslims to mate with the Swedes and, you know, and everybody else, and, pretty soon you've eroded. And then they don't have babies. They're not having children, you know, that sort of thing. So you have various ethnic groups that are being overwhelmed through what they started out calling multiculturalism. But, it's overwhelming a group of people because if the globalists are gonna bring everything to a centralization, they don't want us to be identified as Americans. We're a part of something, you know, the globe, not Americans. So that was part of the way you defeated people. They don't grow up and come back to fight you another day. Unfortunately, with nation of Israel, they were spread all over the world for over a couple thousand years and almost two thousand years. And and they've been regathering since 05/14/1948 in their land, and God's still going to gather more and more and more to Israel. And they've maintained their identity. They know who they are. They can be a French Jew. They can be an Italian Jew. They can be American Jew in New York, but they're still a Jew. And you don't find that with Philistines. Right? You know? There and these other groups that have been wiped out. So today, if we were to look at Babylonians today, we would say, they're in Iraq. They're Iraqis. If we were to look at the Medes, they're the Kurds that are in the northern part of Iraq. If we were to look for Persians, we'd say, well, these are the Iranians. And so, but they don't they don't maintain the identity as as as they once did. So the Babylon should let's see. Wherefore, behold, the days come, saith the lord, that I will execute judgment upon her carved images and through all her land, the wounded shall groan. So God is really upset that Babylon has been used to seduce his people. It's it's adultery. When the nation of Israel begins to worship a false god, they're abandoning their relationship as the wife of Jehovah. So he likens it to unfaithfulness. You're being unfaithful to me. So now he's gonna go hammer away at their carved images and their idolatrous system. So though Babylon should mount up to heaven and though she should fortify, the height of the strength, yet for me shall spoilers come under her, saith the lord. So you're defenseless against god. On the other hand, since god is for us, Romans eight thirty one, since god is for us Defenseless. Right. Greater is he that's in us He that's in the he that's in the world. So we understand that God has a providential filter. And any adversity, any enemy, anybody that tries to wipe, you know, wipe us out, they have to first go through God. They have to first go through him. And and if he allows it, then we have to walk by faith. We may not understand why God would allow a cancer cell to get past the defense of our immune system and to cause tumors in our body, we may not understand that. But that cancer cell had to get permission in God's sovereignty of your life, every little hair of your head, everything about you, God knows. He knows the number of the hairs of your head. There's no circumstance. There's not one sparrow that drops to the ground he doesn't know about. He knows everything about you, everything that's come your way. And and so that's where we trust in that he's good. If we know that God is good, then when bad things happen and he's allowed it, we know that he's gonna cause all things to work together for good for those who love God and are called according to his purpose. Right? If he chooses to take me home, by cancer, then I need to remind myself, lord, I'm yours to do whatever you will to do. Right? Mhmm. Not my will, but his will be done. So Then it goes sooner. There you go. Spoilers come to her, saith the lord. A sound of a cry cometh from Babylon and a great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans because the lord has spoiled Babylon and destroyed out of her the great voice. When her waves do roar like great waters, the noise of their voice is uttered, because the spoilers come up her even upon so spoiler three times has come upon her even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken. Every one of their bows is broken for the Lord. God of recompense shall surely requite it. So there's a day. There's a day of judgment. There's a day of comeuppance. There's a day of, recompense, and, there's a payday. And the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God's eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. And, it's appointed to all men who wants to die than the judgment. They've reached their day. They've reached the day, the shelf life of the nation. The handwriting is on the wall, Belteshazzar. You've weighed in the balance and found wanting. Your kingdom's taken from you. It's over, and it's given, divided unto the Medes and the Persians in Daniel chapter chapter five. And I will make drunk her princes and her wise men and her captains and her rulers and her mighty men, and they shall sleep or perpetual sleep and not wake, saith the king whose name is the lord of hosts. So death is coming, and, there's a second resurrection of the wicked dead that's going to bring, these sleepers awakened at the great white throne judgment. God's gonna judge. So Sathe is the lord of hosts, the broad walls of Babylon, remember, 80 feet thick. Broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with fire. Habakkuk two twelve and thirteen talks about them being burned with fire. Shall be burned with fire, and the people shall labor in vain and the folk in the fire, and they shall be weary. So it's hopeless, absolutely hopeless, and you're just fanning the flames. Now there is a psychological warfare coming against us in America that the communists would like to defeat us without us firing a shot and also without us voting. They they would like to convince us that it's it's hopeless and futile to vote, that you're not gonna get your country back. So they they they give you a learned helplessness. So we have to be careful when we see the reality of the takeover of our country. There is a reality. It's real. But when we look at the mechanism to try and continue in the in the direction we're going, which is voting, we know that they didn't fix anything. So it hasn't that I've learned to be helpless. It's I'm learning we are a a occupied nation. It's already happening. Our nation's already taken from us. And so, I don't know the solution to get it back, but I know certain things that don't work, and that's voting for evil or the lesser of two evils. So the only solution I see is repentance, that of the church waking waking up because what the devil hates is information. That's why the globalists are enacting new laws of censorship. Like on YouTube, Google, and all of it, they don't like that any Christians who are awakened exposing their wickedness because they can only govern with the consent of the people. If they can lie to the people, they can give them consent to, you know, their lies. So, so it's all deception. It's all based upon deception. And, for instance, if the dollar were to crash, the number one goal of the globalist is to get us all in into a digital currency. And if they can get us in a digital currency, then it's game over from the standpoint of control. You can't do anything without, them knowing about it and and penalizing you if you don't, don't follow them. So if there's enough people that realize how important it is to use cash and to barter and to use gold and silver and other means rather than going into that system. So part of what I believe is gonna happen is we're gonna see a huge event take place where Americans are gonna be like, maybe an economic crash. They're gonna need a salesman. They're gonna need a salesman to convince everybody that we'll go back to normal if you call up New York Fed and get your $10,000 account. They're gonna give money away to convince you to sign up for this new account, this new digital currency. They're gonna need a salesman. And I think that salesman might be the same one that sold everybody on the job. Could that be? That could be. Right? And so we're so weak. We're gonna take the easy way out. We're not gonna fight. Even though It's gonna be 31.48% voter approved. There you go. There you go. Taxes. There you go. So so, anyway, it's hopeless. It's hopeless for them. That's reality, hopeless. I'm not saying our predicament's hopeless. I'm hoping in Jesus. So I'm hoping the rapture comes because that's the real the real Amen. So the word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Siri, the son of Neri, the son of Massai, when he went with Zedekiah, the king of Judah into Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. And this Siri was a was a quiet prince. And so this is the staff officer that that was Siri, and it was in May that this happened. The brother of Baruch, a Jeremiah scribe, so Jeremiah is naming him. So Jeremiah wrote in the book all the evil that should come. Now that doesn't make you a very popular guy when you write in a book all the evil that's coming. When you alert to people the evil that's happening, the evil that's coming, they don't like going to your church. They wanna go to a church that's silent, that's telling them smooth things, good things, and, we don't wanna hear prophecy. We don't wanna hear anything talking about America going down, and, we wanna make America great. And that sells. That sells. That's what people wanna hear. So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written against Babylon. Now Jeremiah was not a popular guy. The people did not like him. They didn't like his books. They didn't like his writings. They didn't like anything about him. And so, the sad thing about it is, though, every word that he said is true and came to pass. So how what's that mean in terms of defining success? The majority of people rejected him. They didn't receive him. And so he's successful because he's faithful unto God. And Jeremiah said to Sarai Syria, when thou cometh to Babylon, and you shall see and shall read all these words. So once the Sarai guy to speak it publicly, go into the town square, get your bullhorn, and speak these words, chapter fifty and fifty one. Speak them loud, clear, and let everybody hear what God's saying is gonna happen fifty days from now fifty years from now. This is what's gonna happen. So you're in Babylon. You're captive there and broadcast this in Babylon, a public broadcast of doom. And Jeremiah said to Sarai, when thou come to Babylon and you see, you shall read these words, then shalt thou say, oh lord, thou hast spoken against this place to cut it off that none shall remain in it, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate forever. And it shall be so desolate forever. So does that mean Revelation seventeen and eighteen, the rebuilding of Babylon in the tribulation period? Has Babylon ever, like Damascus, has it ever been made a ruinous heap completely wiped out or is it ultimately gonna be completely wiped out during the tribulation period when God destroys it? And it shall be when thou has finished reading the book that thou shalt bind a stone to it. So you've got the book. It's in a scroll, rolled up scroll, and you wind it up, and then you put a little rope around it and tie it to a stone. Right? Bind a stone to it and cast it into the midst of the Euphrates. And thou shalt say, thus shall Babylon sink and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her and they shall be weary thus far are the words of Jeremiah. So I remember hearing a a picture of the Titanic sinking and the people were dancing, music playing while the Titanic was sinking. And are people dancing and spending money, running their credit cards up, and trying to ignore the importance of calling one another under repentance? Are we acting like it's not gonna happen? Mhmm. Revelation eighteen twenty one, it says, rejoice over her, thou heaven and and all the holy apostles and prophets for God has avenged you on her. So this is the destruction of Babylon. And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea saying, thus, with violence shall the great city Babylon be thrown down and shall be found no more at all. So that's prophetic. Alright. Well, let's pray. Father, thank you that we could tackle the largest chapter in the book of Jeremiah tonight. And we pray next week as we go by way of review in chapter 52 that you bless. But tonight, we pray for John Jogers. We pray that you keep your hedge of protection about him, not allow any evil through rumors, through lies and deception to overtake him. We pray that you calm his heart that Crislin's okay. We pray that the authorities would do an act in a righteous manner in rescuing Crislin and restoring her under her daddy. And Lord, we pray that Crislin's mommy would get the help that she needs and that, Lord, you'd help her to become stable. She'd help her to follow you and be a believer in Jesus Christ. God, we pray all that the enemy means for evil. Lord, you'd work it out for good. And we thank you for being John's strength, Lord, that he's growing day by day as he's had to wrestle with all this stuff for for quite a while. And I pray that you would help Kathy to feel better, and, that you would bless Ronnie and Fred as they get ready. Help them get all the details, everything ready. Help Marlene as she leads the setting up the place on Sunday. We pray for Sally, Lord. You give her great vitality and strength. Help her to overcome the cancer and to get back to back to normal. And, lord, we lift up anybody else in the fellowship that's sick or, on their way there. Lord, we pray for your healing touch upon their bodies. In Jesus' name, amen.
