Father, we thank you once again for being able to meet here on Monday night and study in the book of Ezekiel and be able to worship and have a meal together. As we studied yesterday about the Agape Feast, Lord, and how central, how important it is to the body of Christ to break bread together and have a meal and partake of communion and to feast upon the spiritual food, your word tonight, and ask that you be our teacher, and help us, Lord, to just absorb, to take in as best we can spiritually, that you satisfy our thirst, that you satisfy our hunger, and blessed are those that hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled, Lord. So blessed now, we pray, in Jesus' name, amen. Alright. So a little shout out to Vangie out there. I want you to see, Vangie, that and it came to pass. Did you guys get that? It came down. It came Do you guys believe it? You believe it? Receive that. Receive that, Venji. It came. The kidney stone came to pass. Right there. Right there. Alright. What trial do you have in your life? It came to pass. It isn't going to last forever, right? Is that good? Do you like that? You like that? Okay. It came to pass. This trial came to pass. Alright. Empathy. Empathy. And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house, and the elders of Judah, the Lord God fell there upon me. So Ezekiel has a house, he's got a wife, and he's outside of Babylon. He's a part of the captivity. He's a priest, and he gives us a date here. And so fourteen months from chapter one verse two, Let's see here. Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives of the River Of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God. Fourteen months later, on September seventeenth, five ninety two BC, he gets another vision. Chapter eight through 11 is gonna be him describing the vision that God has given him. We start out with glory, we end with the departure of the glory, Ichabod, the glory of the Lord departing. So, God has given him a vision. There are elders, elders there because there is no king. Johayachin is in captivity, he's not ruling reigning. So they have unofficial type elders that are here helping with the affairs, and they come and they sit with Ezekiel, and they're gonna talk things over with Ezekiel. And as they're there, it says, I sat in my house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord God fell there upon me. Jesus said, you shall receive power when the Holy Ghost comes upon you. Right? We need the hand of God upon us. We need the Holy Spirit to be upon us. And he has the Holy Spirit is falling upon him. You and I can't serve the Lord in the arm of the flesh. We need the power of the Holy Spirit, the dunamis, dynamic power of the Holy Spirit, to be able to serve the Lord. Cathy and I, we need the Holy Spirit to be upon us. We need to feel the hand of God upon us, since we need to be able to sense God's presence, that His hand is upon our life. I want to know that the Lord's hand is upon my grandchildren's lives, that God's hand is upon them, that He's ever close to them, that God's hand is upon each of you, each of us. We don't, again, we cannot live the Christian life in the arm of the flesh. We need to sense God's presence. Ezekiel is sensing God's presence. He's letting us know that God's hands come upon him. He says, then I beheld, and lo, a likeness like the appearance of fire from the appearance of his loins even downward, fire and from his loins even upward like the appearance of the brightness like the color of amber. And so, quite possibly a Christophany, an appearance of the Lord, a pre incarnate appearance of Jesus Christ appears to him. Turn to chapter one verse 26, he had this happen to him once before, and above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, like the appearance of a sapphire stone, and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness of the appearance of a man above upon it. So he had an appearance of Jesus in chapter one there, the Lord, a Theophany, Christophany. And I saw like the color of amber, like the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of its loins even doward. And I saw as it were the appearance of fire and the brightness roundabout. So now, round two, the Lord appears to him once again at his home there, and then I beheld and loathe the likeness of the appearance of fire from the appearance of the loins even downward, fire from his loins even upward like the appearance of brightness, like the color of amber. So appearance of light, a bright, bright light appearing. And like a man, we saw in chapter one verse 26. And and he put forth the form of a hand. So like a hand, the form of a hand. He's trying as best he can to describe like John the Revelator, trying to describe in human terms part of what's happening in the in the spirit when the spirit caught John up in Revelation chapter four, come up hither. Right? So John gets a vision of the apocalypse, the unveiling of Jesus Christ in the book of Revelation, and John describes what he saw, and Ezekiel is doing the same thing here, and he took me, and he put forth form of a hand, and he took me by a lock of my head. And so, Ezekiel had shaved his head earlier, now his hair has grown back. He's got hair, and he's got some curly hair, the lock of his hair. And this person, the Lord, grabs his hair, pull him up by his hair. And yesterday, when I was with Carl and Sue over at the club, went to the club after church, and the golf club, yeah, Kitsap Country Club. And we were there with the big boys eating big boy food. And a guy, a real big boy, was sitting over there. You know how they like to put down the beers, the guys drinking the beers. And a couple hours going by, and I must have drank six or seven beers by then. And and no, I didn't. Anyway, this guy gets up and walks by me, and he does this on my head. Yeah, as he's walking by. And Carl saw it and Carl says, do you know that guy? I'm like, no, I don't know that guy. And Carl's starting to get mad like, why do you do that? Why do you do that? I'm like, I don't know. I don't know. But today when I read this, I thought, oh, maybe it was the hand of God. Is. The hand of God. You know? Grab grab one of my curls, you know? They're they're just grab the lock of hair. He didn't pull on it, but he just went he did this thing. I'm like, now I'm with the three stooges. You know? Maybe he was envious. Maybe he's cute. He's a bald guy. Yeah. And then when we're driving home, I told Kathy about it. She goes, I hope he wasn't gay. And I'm like, yeah. Me too. Me too. Know? Why does a guy do that? So anyway, it's not easy being me. I'm telling you, wherever I go. How could a pastor get that out of a lock of hair right there? I don't know. You got a sick one on your hand. Now my shirt says Deuteronomy six four in Hebrew this way, the Lord our God is one Lord. Right? Alright. We'll get to that in a bit. Thank you for the shirt, whoever bought it for me. I think it might have been Sherry Tester Lawton, Robbie's sister. Shout out to her. Thank you so much. I like it. K. And no, Trump is not the Christ. Okay? Everybody know that. Alright. He's not the anointed one. Okay. Just had to get that in. And so he took me by a lock of my my head, because he'll never think of that the same way again. By And lock of my head, and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and heaven, kinda like John in Revelation chapter four verse one, remember? And brought me in the vision of God to Jerusalem to the door of the inner gate that looks toward the north, where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provokes to jealousy. So he's taken, like in a time machine, right? He's taken maybe in a DeLorean, right? In DeLorean? No? And he's taken he's taken by his hair. He's in the spirit. So we're in the physical realm here, and the Lord could open up to us, and we could see in the spiritual realm if the Lord let us. Right? Different dimension. And I'm sure the devil would love to all the angels would love to be able to see that sort of stuff. They're they're in a different dimension here, but but to be able to see the future, be able to see things that are gonna happen, we know that they're not omniscient, they don't know all things, they can't see all things, but God can. And in chapter 11 verse 22 through 25, you'll see the conclusion of this vision. He's gonna come back to Jerusalem, and so we see him going, and he's he's not physically there, but in the spiritual realm, he's there seeing things, a part of things. There's a point where he's told to dig a hole in a wall. So how do you explain that? Know, how did is he caught up? You know? Is he an unembodied spirit? What's happening? He's still there in Babylon, but yet he's seeing things in this vision in Jerusalem. Peter went into a trance in Acts chapter 10. You've ever been in a trance? A lot of you guys fall asleep during my sermon. So, you ever been in a trance? The Lord the Lord give you a vision or show you things, you know? The Lord ever show you things, you know? Get a vision of hell, maybe? You're in hell? Lord, get me out of here. I'm in hell. Would you shut this guy up, Lord? I can't take much more of it. But Peter's Peter's hungry. It's noontime, and he's in a trance. And the Lord tells him, rise Peter, kill and eat. Not so, Lord. You know, that's oxymoron. You never say, so, Lord. It's one or the other. Right? And the Lord was, don't call that, you know, unclean what I've cleaned, you know. So Peter's Peter's seeing something there. How many of you have had a vision? Any of you had a vision of me winning the lottery? I want to anybody? Alright. Let me know if you do. I want you to be a a true prophet or prophetess of God. Alright. Even so. So he's got a vision, and we have dreams and visions. Joel and at Pentecost, your young men shall dream dreams and old men have visions. Right? Or is it vice versa? In any event, visions and dreams. Old men talk about I went to the doctor today and I got got gout, know, I got gout, you know, my legs. That's what old men talk about. Alright. Looks toward the north. Alright. So here we go. Let's get this going. Come on. Let's get this going. Kathy didn't give me any meds today. So I got it down. No roofie today. So he took me by a lock of my head and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and heaven and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem to the door of the inner gate that looks toward the North whereas the seat of the image of jealousy which provokes to jealousy. So this is an idol that's erected right at the North Gate. And the North Gate is where the king would be. So this is an Ishtar pole that's erected, an idol of jealousy that the king is well aware of. And the king's going by it all the time. And now there's a time where, previously, where Hezekiah broke down all of these Ishtar poles and things that are all about Jerusalem. And Manasseh, his son, re erected him in second Kings chapter one through five, Hezekiah got rid of him. But then second Kings twenty one one through seven, Manasseh, who was very, very wicked, re erected him, got all sorts of idols and shrines and things to the different false gods, if you will. But also actually desecrate the temple by bringing in one of these astropoles within that Manasseh did. And then later, Josiah, grandson of King Hezekiah, he took and brought reforms and got rid of all of them again. But now we're at a point where at the end of the nation, May, you can see that in Jerusalem hasn't fallen yet because it's gonna fall in May, that there's still this idol of jealousy. God's jealous because what's it say here? The Lord our God is one God. Right? Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, him only shalt thou serve. Exodus 20 verse three and four, right? So, what's it mean to be polytheistic? What's it mean to be monotheistic? One. And so, it's a compound verb. One God in three persons. The Lord our God is one God, but one God in three persons, right? Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, right? And so, that's the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. That's the God of the Jew, right? And that's the God of the Christian, right? That's monotheism. And the Jews were falling into polytheism, just like we're watching today at the Republican National Convention. What happened? Somebody tell me what happened. How many deities did they acknowledge at the Republican National Convention? One, did they acknowledge the true living God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? Did they pray that Franklin Graham, he prayed. Didn't he pray to God the Father in the name of God the Son? That's acknowledging the true living God. What else happened? A woman prayed to a Hindu deity, right? So polytheism. And last week, Betty, who's not here right now, Betty said that her son, what did he say? That we all worship the same God? Everybody worships the same God? And so the the Muslims, Islam, have over 300 gods, and they worship the moon god. And so when you see the crescent moon, that's, know, Allah Akbar, and but there it breaks down to a bunch of other small little g god deities that they also they mix in. Same with the the Hindus, you know, same with a lot of the different religious systems. So the religious system that's coming out of Babylon when Nimrod, who was the great grandson of Noah, And then after the flood, in Genesis chapter ten and eleven, Nimrod built the Tower Of Babel, right, and an effort by men to reach up to God. And God confused the languages because the people were given over to this, and they were doing things that worshiping the moon and the stars and all the different aspects of the heavenlies, and God forbids that. In Deuteronomy chapter, I think it's 14 let's see here. We'll see in a minute here, but we're gonna see toward the end here that they're worshiping the sun. Let's see. Yeah. They're worshiping the sun. Deuteronomy four nineteen, God forbids the children of Israel to worship the sun, the moon, the stars, that sort of thing. And Romans chapter one says they worship serve the creature rather than the creator. And so they're given over to, the worshiping of creation like we see today, the false religious system of climate change, is a religious system of the worshiping of creation and it's based upon lies. No science, it's a religion, a religious system and it's nothing new. So these these Babylonian religions, these religions of Revelation chapter 17, the Babylonian religious system, and the economic and political system of chapter 18 of book of Revelation originate here. And we're gonna see that there's a there's there's a verse 14 where it it turns toward the women in the city, weeping for Tamuz. And we'll get to that in a minute. But there's a false religious system that's so incredibly permeating the nation of Israel, and God's been saying, don't do this, don't do this, wipe out these Canaanites. They have a false religious system of worshiping of demons. Paul says, they're actually worshiping demons when they worship these these idols. So the image of jealousy, which provokes to jealousy because the relationship that God has with the nation of Israel is a marriage. And it's a marriage where God says, no, you only you be faithful only to me. If you're unfaithful to me and you begin to worship idols, the work of men's hands, eyes they have, but they can't see, ears they have, they can't hear, they have a throat, but they can't talk, they got a mouth, can't talk. And, when you do this, you shame me, you disrespect me, and I'm like a husband. You're the wife of Jehovah, and I'm like a jealous husband, thereafter because I'm not gonna share my wife with false husbands or false deities, if you will. And, and behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there according to the vision that I saw on the blind. So, God's glory appeared, in Exodus chapter 40 verse 34, appeared with establishing of the tabernacle. And then later, the glory of the Lord entered into the temple. In first Kings chapter eight verse 11, the glory of the Lord, Shekinah glory of the Lord appeared into the temple. By the end of this vision, in chapter 11, we're going to see Ichabod, the glory of the Lord, departing. And in first Samuel chapter three, I think it is, Eli the priest hears that the Ark of the Covenant was taken in battle and he followed over because because he's a heavy man, and he falls over and he breaks his neck, his daughter-in-law, when she hears that Hophni and Phineas are dead also, she exclaims, Ichabod, the glory of the Lord had departed. And that the Ark of the Covenant was seized by the Philistines. And so that was one time there also. But in this case here, the glory of the Lord is still there. The glory of the Lord is still there at the temple, and behold, the glory of God of Israel was there according to the vision that I saw in the plain. And in Isaiah 42 verse eight, somebody want to read that? God says, I'll share my glory with no man or idol or anything, right? God shares his glory with nobody. God shares his glory. God will not share his glory with any man. Even if he turns his head supposedly, and a bullet supposedly hits his right ear. And even if people misconstrue, according to Leviticus chapter eight, that somehow that's a consecration unto him as a priest, which is a bold faced lie. Right? But, boy, people sure running with it. Right? And mind boggling, I listened to JD Ferrog today, and I encourage everybody that's listening. I posted on Calvary Chapel Bremerton's Facebook page, and I I really enjoy because he's he's as crazy as I am. He's one of the few guys out there that will actually still mention the warp speed jab. And he he said the reason is, and he ties in, is because Donald j Trump, when he went through this whole photo op and all that, Tucker Carlson has 1,700,000 people are hitting watching this video he just did where this, who's the singer, John Rich? John Rich interviews Tucker, and Tucker is is told by John Rich that there is no pre trib rapture. That it was a fallacy in 1830 with Darby and later with the Schofield Bible and all. You you don't have to believe it and all. But he also points out, as he as he takes away and JD titles his message, Nobody's Going to Steal My Pre Trib Rapture Hope, which we call Titus two thirteen, the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and savior. So this guy is trying to destroy that, but watch this. Watch what he slides in there. He slides in there, and God protected Donald j Trump from being assassinated when that bullet went and he turned his head at the right moment, and it just nicked his ear. The whole world saw it and believe in him now. Believe in who, JD said. The whole world believes in Donald j Trump now. Unreal. Unreal. And JD says, I don't believe in him. I believe in Jesus, you know. And and that's the whole point of why I bring it up is I don't want people to get sucked in to what we would call hopium, a false hope in men who are and J. D. Mentioned it. He mentioned the new Apostolic Reformation, the seven mountain mandate, the whole thing. And God shares his glory with no man. You know, there's no way the antichrist is gonna come along. And Jesus said in John chapter four, I came in my father's name and you received me not. Another is going to come in his own name and him you're gonna receive. So a prelude to that is there's many antichrist out in the world. And anytime a man receives the adulation and the the glory from men, be careful. That man better be real careful because God shares his glory with no man, with no idol. You raise this man up to be an idol, God's gonna take him down right before you. So the best thing you could do would be to call him under repentance and the humility. And if I hear people say he's the chosen one and the whole world believes in him, that he's gonna be the one that brings us back, that makes America great, makes the world great, and you know, and all that sort of thing. That's exactly what I'm fighting against. I don't care if you vote for the guy. I don't care. I mean, that's that's your decision. But do not deify him. Do not elevate him to the place that he has no business being, where you're you're melding together a political figure with a with a religious figure, and what? He's the new pope? He's a new pope, and what? We're gonna kiss his ring, and he's gonna bring us, you know, out of this whole economic struggle, the whole thing and all. So you see here where the Lord, where the people went away from being monotheistic, only believing in the true living God, to the culture feeling the pressure, just as we're feeling the pressure in America, to become polytheistic, to believe that everybody worships their own God, we all believe in the same God. God says, no, that makes me jealous. That that stirs anger within me, stirs fury in me that she would throw me under the bus like that and disrespect me in that way. And every time the king's gonna go into the temple, there's this astro pole, which is a fertility goddess, a central fertility goddess that he's got to walk by and to go into the temple and all. So, I mean, if he truly love and and that's another emphasis I want to try and place in the preaching and teaching in the weeks ahead. You're gonna have to choose. You can't have it both ways. You can't have Jesus and worship him, and then on the other hand say, I'm gonna give Donald Trump a prominent place in my heart because he's gonna lead us back, that he's God's chosen one. No. He's not Christ. He's not the chosen one, you know? You're elevating him far too high. He's just a man. And I believe he's a deceiver, a great, great deceiver. And I don't want people to be deceived, and I don't want people to be losing the blessed hope and expectancy of the glorious appearing of our great God and savior. Why would I want you guys to believe that Donald's gonna fix everything, and that the rapture is not gonna happen, and that we've got lots of years ahead of us because, by the way, we're all gonna get a mark in a new economy, and a new global system, and all that. I mean, how could you deny the birth pangs that are taking place for the one world global government, the global economic system, the global religious system? And what is Donald going to lead you in that? So one of the things that JD pointed out was, one of the reasons people today hate the rapture, the doctrine of the pre trib rapture, and I'll mention names, Eric McTaxis, Charlie Kirk, and many of these guys. The reason they hate it is, they're well invested. They've got a lot to lose. And they're in love with this world like I've been telling you guys over and over again, love not the world. Remember I've taught you in COVID how to catch a monkey? If you're holding on to that rice inside that tree, you're going to be caught. If you let go of this world, you're going to be free. And you're going to be able to worship the Lord in spirit and in truth. And if the Lord is showing you signs of the rapture, you're going to be excited about that. You're going to let go of your investments in your house and all that stuff. But if you are in love with this world, and it's making you sad that America's falling apart, and you've got to figure out a way to fix it, that's idolatry. You've raised up an idol. There's an idol in your heart. You're loving this world more than you love God. He's asking you, like the rich young ruler, because he's diagnosing your problem, it's not the stuff you have. It's not the riches. If the riches increase, just don't set your heart on it. What you're in love with is the prosperity that we've enjoyed as American Christians for, you know, seventy years, since World War II or even before. And so, if God's saying, hey, I'm bringing it to an end. I'm gonna crash the dollar, and I'm going to crash the US government. We're gonna bring in a whole new global government. You let go, because it's showing you that the rapture is very, very close before any of that can happen. Or actually, you could see a global government before the rapture. You could even see a global currency. But what you won't see, and JD pointed this out, this is why he keeps mentioning Donald J Trump. JD feels that the vaccine that everybody took, not everybody, is a precursor to additional vaccines that are coming presently, disease x and the bird flu, because every single person, like Bill Gates said, upon the planet has to receive what? The nanoparticles. Every single person on this planet needs to receive a digital identification which comes through the vaccine. It's fear that compels you to get this shot, but it's really the digitalization of your body that tracks and trace you and brings you into the whole new system. So JD goes even beyond that to say, it's the mark of the beast. Eventually, it's going to be the mark of the beast, the beast system, the identification. So I personally see that Donald J. Trump is raised up by the globalist as a salesman. He's going to sell evangelicals on a new identification. He's gonna sell evangelicals on a new digital currency. And eventually, there's going to be an image of the beast. Right? An image of the beast. A an Ashtoreth pole. An AI. An AI kind of a thing in Revelation chapter 13, and people are gonna worship the image of the beast and have a mark on their right hand or their foreheads, and it's it's full blown idolatry. It's full blown the worshiping of Satan. And that's what's happening to these guys. They're being seduced because Paul says that was the Gentiles offer in their in their idolatrous system. They're actually offering unto demons. It's demons that stand behind this idolatrous system. The worshiping of Lucifer, the worshiping of the devil. And so, Satan's able to appear as an angel of light or a minister of righteousness. And God says, Isaiah forty two eight, who wants to read it? Can I share my glory with no one? Nothing? With no idols? And it didn't save anybody from COVID. Mm-mm. Good. Good facts. Good facts there. And you know what? It ain't over yet. Still brewing in people. The one that bothered me, I think, the most in quite a while was the one I posted Sunday morning. There's a huge surge in children dying of heart problems because these young parents are being their children are getting booster, booster, booster, tons of shots. It's criminal. It's absolutely criminal. Alright. Go ahead. I am the lord. I am the Lord that that is my name, and my glory I will not give to any to another, nor my praise to create carved images. I am Okay. There you go. So verse five and six, then said he unto me, son of man, lift up thine eyes now in the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes in the way toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar. So this is king's gate. This is where the king goes in. And so he's looking northward at the gate of the altar. This image of jealousy in the entrance. And so Deuteronomy thirty two twenty one, an image, you know, God somebody wanna read that? Deuteronomy thirty two twenty one. And and he said, furthermore unto me, son of man, seest thou what they do, even the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary, but turn ye again, and thou shall see greater abominations. So this is a great abomination. It's an image of of jealousy, But hold on. There's gonna even be greater abominations as we work through this chapter, as we work through this vision. So somebody has Deuteronomy thirty two twenty one. Got it. Okay. Benjie needs to hear you, buddy. They have provoked me to jealousy by what is not God. They have moved me to anger by their foolish idols, but I will provoke them to jealousy by those who are not a nation. I will move them to anger by a foolish nation. Okay. So how are we as Christians provoking the nation of Israel to jealousy? We weren't given the law. We were given grace. We're given grace. And we are grafted in. Grafted in. So she's over in Romans nine ten eleven, where we provoke them to jealousy. They see that we have a relationship with God, and blindness is part has happened unto Israel till the fullness of the Gentiles come in. So we Gentiles that come to God through Jesus Christ provokes Jews to jealousy. And it should provoke them in a good way that they want what we have. Your life should be salt and light that provokes unbelievers to jealousy that they see a quality of life in you and I, the glory of the Lord living and dwelling within us. Right? Our countenance shining bright. Right? The joy of the Lord, is, you know, joy is our strength, the love that we have, the fruit of the spirit which is love. People should see a quality of life, the life of the spirit, a spiritual countenance, something different about you that provokes them to jealousy to the point they say, you know, I don't know what it is about you, but you're so different now. You're so different. And I don't know what it is about you, but I've never quite met somebody like you. People tell me that all the time. No, I'm just kidding. And, I want what you have. I want what you have, you know? And when we're on our game, when the Lord is really, you know, filling us, when we're dead to self and crucified the flesh, taking our cross up and following the Lord, no longer us living, Christ living through us, that's where the Lord shines. Right? He's shining at that point. And people used to know you as a drunk. They used to know you as promiscuous. They used to know you as a reefer addict, or cokehead or lust for money, anger, rage, whatever those characteristics of the flesh once were, and now you're changed. Now you used some people said, you you were a demoniac. You were you were possessed by demons, man. You used to you used to have seven different voices talking out of you, you know. Multi personalities out of you, man. And and you were cutting yourself and you were howling and yelling and going crazy. And now you're clean, you're clothed, you were naked. Now you're clean, you're clothed, and you're seated in your right mind. You're in your right mind now that you demoniac from Gadara, you know. And a lot of mental illness, a lot of the stuff that we deal with today is resist ing the Holy Spirit, and we're tormented by demons. And when we come to Christ, He comes into our heart and life, the house doesn't need to be cleaned and swept. God throws out the devil. The devil is thrown out of your life, and he can oppress you, but he cannot possess you. Christians cannot be possessed by the devil. And so, greater is he that's in me than he that's in the world. And now, for the first time in your life, you can sleep. You have peace. You have peace. You have peace with God, and now you experience the peace of God that surpasses all understanding. And it's because you have a relationship with the true and the living God. And so he says, and furthermore unto me, son of man, seest thou what they do? Look at what these people are doing. God has given Ezekiel a vision of what the king's doing, the people in Jerusalem are doing, then he's gonna give them a vision of what the elders, the 70 elders are doing, secretly, the stuff that's all over their walls, the pornography, then he's gonna show them the priests, 25 priests what they're doing, what's in their hearts, what's in their minds, these secret sins. You know what he's doing? He's saying, Ezekiel, I wanna show you the hard drive. I wanna show you the phones. Everybody's phones, all the websites, all the places they've been, everywhere they've gone, all the TV shows, the movies, all the images that inflames them that they love to look at and all. I want you to see their Amazon account, how obsessed they are with buying everything they can, you know? You don't think that's idolatry? No? Doesn't always have to be pornography. It can be the master passion of your life, the love of buying, the love of pleasure. All these things become idols in our life. The master passion of our life is, unless you're buying things for my grandkids, then it's okay. Alright? So and he brought me to the door of the court, and when I looked, behold, a hole in the wall. That's a good name for a bar, a hole in the wall. Right? It's called the hole in the wall, isn't it? Yeah. I've been there. Yeah. Have you? Don't know. You say, hey. Is that a good restaurant? Oh, it's a hole in the wall. Right? Everybody always says, hey, is that a good restaurant? What's that place like? Oh, it's a hole in the wall. Oh, it's a good it got good food. Yeah, they got good food. Alright. So then said he unto me, son of man, dig now in the wall. So So now he's got to dig. So you're in a vision, but there's a physical aspect of this. You're you're like trying to is it the red pill or the blue pill? What's what's going on here? Is it real? Is that stake real? What what's going on? So I like the red pill, I think. Yeah. Then said he unto me, son of man, dig now in the wall. And when I had digged in the wall, behold a door. So now it opens up to a door. And he said unto me, go in. No, you go in. I ain't going in there. No, go in there. No, you go in there. Mikey will. Mikey will. Mikey Mikey will go in there. Who wants to go in there? I don't want to go in there. And he said to me, go in. And the wicked abominations that they and behold, the wicked abominations that they do here. What if we were able to go to Washington DC and see all that they do there? What if the Lord opened up and showed us all of the pedophilia, all of the adrenachrome and the children's sacrifices that are done in DC? JD Vance wrote a book about what a hillbilly was and how the drug culture it came out of. But hey, a lot of us came out of drug culture. We got saved. That's all that matters. We're saved. But this case, guys are acting like they're saved, acting like they're Christians, acting like they're pastors or priests or whatever they are, but they've got a secret life. How many of you have two cell phones? If you catch your husband ladies with a second cell phone, what's that mean? He's cheating He's cheating on you, isn't he? He's got a girlfriend or if he's a homo now, now a boyfriend. That's even worse. Right? He's got a boyfriend. Yeah. Well, I love women, so there's no way that guy that did that to me can grab me, man. I'm I'm really a lesbian. I love women. I love them. Alright. So there's no secrets in my heart. Right? So he says, and he said unto me, go in and behold the wicked abominations that they do here. You know, there's certain things I don't wanna know. There's certain things I don't want people to tell me or be privy to. There's a verse that says, be wise concerning that which is good and simple concerning that which is evil. I don't believe in sex education for young children in school. I don't believe they need to be indoctrinated and be polluted and be taught things that they'll never be innocent and the same again. Somehow, throughout history, we have survived as a society, as people, as human beings without sex ed with our primary age children. When I was in kindergarten, they didn't have anything like that. When I was in first grade, second grade, third grade, they didn't have anything like that, right? Nowadays, we had a daycare and they were actually indoctrinating our teachers to be ready for the sexual activity of children two years old, three years old, four years old. No, I want my grandkids to they don't need to be indoctrinated in that. I mean, the dog's in heat in the yard. Who wants to explain what's going on over there? I don't want to explain it, you know. Maybe their dad will explain it, you know. I mean, there's plenty of ways their innocence is stripped from them. Okay? And they don't need to some of my grandkids still think babies come out of the belly button. Good. Their mommy's belly button. I want them to know that. I want them to think that. I knew somebody was going to ask that. Yeah, think they did. Were designer humans. They did. They definitely did. No, they didn't. Why do need that? Alright. So anyway, there's he's I remember when James Dobson, years ago had to be on a a congressional panel for pornography. And the stuff that he was introduced to, the pictures, the images, all that, just sickened him. And how are you ever going to get those images out of your head of children being abused in that way and that sort of thing? So what you know, Lord, I need I need kinda like in the matrix. I need the Lord to take, you know, that Tommy Lee Jones and take that thing and go, you know, erase my mind. I don't want that stuff there. And which movie was it? Black. Men Men in Black. There you go. Men in Black. So he's seeing these abominable, abominable beasts. And then I went and I saw, behold, every form of creeping thing, an abominable beast, and all the idols of the house of Israel portrayed upon the walls round about. So the walls were supposed to have the cherubim, beautiful picture of these cherubim angels and stuff. These guys have desecrated it and all sort of creeping things. So now I'm in Romans chapter one verse 18 through 25, where they're worshiping the creature rather than the creator, you know, who's blessed forever. And when I think of creeping things, I think of the biggest creeper of my lifetime, Bill Gates, wanting people to eat creeping things, you know. Worms and bugs and things like that, you know. And these guys are these guys are worshipping these sort of things. They're worshiping mother earth, and they're demonizing the the very food source that the Lord's given us. Nice rib eyes and and lying about it, and wanting the people to worship creeping things, and worship bugs and the animals and and things like that. And if you go to India, why are there so many rats everywhere in India? And snakes because you might eat your grandma, right? Reincarnation. I know your mother-in-law. I know, I know, I know. I've heard those jokes. Okay. Alright. Well, you just had to meet her. You'd never met her. Alright. Okay. And there stood before them 70 men of the ancients of the house of Israel. So these aren't the 70, you know, that Moses had. These are 70 men that are gonna be, helping with the leadership, and they're going to kinda be like people are portraying Donald Trump. They're gonna be secular men, but kinda help out with the priesthood too. Well, that doesn't work. You don't you don't take that office under yourself, you know? And there stood before them 70 men of the ancients, so ancients, old guys, of the house of Israel. And in the midst of them stood Jehazaniah, the son of Shaphan. Well, the Shaphan, the son of Shaphan's a good family. One of the guys that helped Jeremiah when he was in trouble in Jeremiah twenty six twenty four. But it looks like this Jazaniah is kind of living a dual life and kind of the black sheep of the family here because he's mixed up with these 70 who are into this this heavy duty idolatry. But remember, a lot of this idolatry and stuff is secret. It's secret stuff that these guys are doing. People don't know on the surface that they're involved in these sort of things. And they have a sensor in their hand and a thick cloud of incense went up. And so part of their worshiping is they're offering incense on the false deities. And Revelation five verse eight says, The incense that rises up, our prayers go up as incense. It's a sweet smelling savor under the Lord, our prayers. As we finish this book up, there's going to be a branch that is in the nose of the Lord, which is a stench. The smell of their idolatry is as a stench in God's nostrils. But the people are just putting it. They're rubbing God's nose in it, so to speak. It's so prevalent, the ungodliness. Then said he unto me, son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? For they say, the Lord sees us not The Lord has forsaken the earth. And so, things here. One, if you're Joseph and you're away from home, if you're Bernie and you're away from home, if you're Steve or George or Jim or Rob, anybody that served in the military and you're away from home, first time away from home, and you're on the ship, and now you go into a foreign port. Now you're anchored off of Corinth, city of Corinth. And it's known for it's known for the bars, those hole in the wall bars, and the prostitutes, and the prostitutes that work for the temple of Aphrodite, a fertility goddess. And they come down to these sailors, and a lot of these guys, it's their first time away from home, and they're young. They're real young, and possibly a lot of them are even virgins. And the older guys are gonna take them to these these places, and they're gonna be doing these things. And and it's all it's it's all supposedly irreligious, and yet there is religion, a belief system behind it with the seduction and with the worshiping of Aphrodite. One And of the commentators, Barclay, William Barclay said part of what they used to do is they would have these women on a point, and they would be naked. And they would have them there as the ships are coming by, trying to entice the sailors in to come on in. And so the pornography, the I'm told if you go to Amsterdam, there'll be prostitutes in the windows. So as you're walking by, they're naked in the window in the red light district for the sailors and everybody to see. And so, God's allowing the imagery. He's allowing the pornography. He's allowing the and now these are multi breasted fertility goddesses that are created through this bow worship. And, what's going on here. And so, that's what's happening. And they have unwedened pregnancies, and they have pregnant women, who don't want to have these babies. So they go out into the grove areas and they heat up a statue, a bowel, with his arms outstretched, where he gets red hot, red hot. And then they take these babies and they set them on the arms of bowel, And then the babies are screaming super loud, right? And then the people start chanting, demonic chanting, and singing, and stuff to drown out the screams of the little babies. Right? And that's what we're seeing here. And there's even worse than that going on today amongst the quote unquote Jeffrey Epstein elites, the pedophiles, the stuff that they're presently doing today, there's a term called adrenachrome. And adrenachrome is you take these babies and you hurt a little baby. Now, do you get a hold of babies? How are you, these pedophiles and these people, these elites, gonna get ahold of these babies? Human trafficking. People sell their babies. Also through breeding. Breeding amongst them in groups and such. So they take these babies and then they begin to afflict the babies. Afflicting the babies so their adrenal gland is activated as the babies are screaming. The blood is filled with adrenaline. That's when they vampire him. That's when they take the blood out of the baby. And then the George Soros type guys who are old and wanna retain some vitality, the Hollywood types that wanna stave off getting old, they bring in this new fresh baby blood into their veins to try and stave off the qualities of the older blood that can't provide the youthfulness. This is what these guys do today. And it's called adrenachrome, so you can look it up if you want. But vampires. So heinous type things. When you turn away from the true and living God, and you're seduced, and you're lied to, nobody ever thinks that they're going to stoop that low. But you go lower and lower and lower and lower, and it's sickening. So secret sins. The Bible says, If we confess our sins, He's faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and to cleanse us of all unrighteousness. So, I'm willing to let each of you come up and treat this like a confessional where you could confess to me your secret sins. And I'll give you a couple Hail Marys to say, and Our Fathers, and just let me know your secret sins. Say, Father, I've sinned, I'll lead you to a place of peace, you know, where you can get it off your chest. No. No, you don't need to do that. Your secret sins, you take them to the Lord. You take them right to the Lord. If you try to cover your sin, you're not going to prosper. David had secret sins. And for a year, he was miserable because he tried to cover his sin. And you don't need to go to any man, any religious dude. There's one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. You take your sin to your great high priest, whoever lives to make intercession for you. And the Holy Spirit, when we're studying the Bible, the Holy Spirit will bring what's called conviction. God will use His word with His spirit as a mirror to show you where you've sinned. Because your heart's deceitful above all things. Your heart can rationalize and say, God doesn't see what I'm doing. Hey, I'm still getting a paycheck. I'm still being blessed. God must be pleased with me. Right? And then these guys are saying, God's abandoned us. There's no point in serving the Lord anymore. There's no reward system anymore. All the prosperity guys told me that if I pray enough, give enough, and do everything enough, that God's gonna bless my life. Well, our economy is going down the tubes. God's abandoned us. What's the point now? Now I can just indulge in sin like I used to do because there's no ramification. There's no reaping and sowing anymore. And that's what these guys were acting like. Is, hey, the false prophets are saying, you're gonna continue to prosper. And they're saying, the Lord sees us not. God doesn't see anything. But what's Hebrews four thirteen said say? Everything is naked and open before the eyes with whom we have to do. Right? Now, in the beast system, how is the beast, the antichrist, how is the beast system going to track and trace and see all the crimes, everything that everybody's doing? Is your home a smart home? Any of you want to have a retro home? Get an old refrigerator, an old TV, an old phone. All of your new appliances are what's called smart appliances. The smart appliances are talking to each other. They're talking to your phone, your refrigerator's talking to the dishwasher, to the washer, they're communicating. And every night, there's a download that goes, and that download goes into the cloud, goes into the NSA. This Peter Thiel, Peter Thiel, who's supporting this JD Vance, the vice president. He's involved in technology that track and traces your every move. They're heavily investing in like like your street lights in Bremerton, if you don't know it, up in the light is a camera. There's also at Disneyland, there's speakers. They're listening to you at Disneyland. Say something. Try it sometimes. Say something out there. Watch how they come out, you know. And but everywhere you're going, the five g technology, at work, the nanny cameras. You go into somebody's house, they've got cameras in there. The doorbells, the doorbell technology, they're listening, they're watching, driving your car, they've got your car license number, and when you go to the airport, I haven't been to the airport many years, but when I go there, the TSA and everybody is already gonna know who I am because they've taken my picture. They've taken my and it's in a database. And I mean, when you're this handsome, your picture's everywhere, you know? So when you when you you go there, they're gonna say, we know who you are. Facial recognition technology, right? So if you how can you evade facial recognition technology? In China, if you go into China, they'll do experiments. They'll say, alright, drop this guy off at such and such a place and, see how long it takes for us to find him. Drop him off somewhere. And with just a few short minutes, they they run and they find the guy where he's at, know. It could be the train station, bus station, whatever. So they're perfecting it in China, but it's gonna be a beast system that covers the whole planet. And yet, there's a group of people that enter into the millennium that don't have the mark of the beast, that lived under the radar, and these are the gentiles believers who come into the millennium without the mark of the beast, without any of the things that that was required during the seven year tribulation period. So they might have counteracting technology, and or the Lord just protects them miraculously from them. So secret sins secret sins, betrayal, things about your wife, your husband, or your mom, your dad, your family, your pastor, your church. Some of these things is nobody else's business at all. You don't have to bring it public. You bring it privately to the Lord. Be very, very careful of opening up in a Christian circle of people. They can be the most gossipy, most cruel, evil people ever. So be careful what you say about your daughters, your family. Don't open up. Don't open up and let everybody know. I mean, I let you all know from the pulpit my family stuff. If you tell me it, it's gonna be in the sermon. So just be real careful. Okay? Be real careful. Alright? Pastor, I need to talk to you. Oh, really? Oh, really? Let me get this recording going. Now it's confidential. Yes. Confidential. Confidential. Names might be changed, but it's confidential. You don't even change your name. There's a story. Somebody called me this week, and you're back there going, that was me. Crazy, isn't it? Alright. So That that's right. He said also unto me, turn yet again and and thou shall see greater abominations that you do. Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the Lord's house, which was toward the north, and behold, there sat women weeping for tamuz. Now this is a Babylonian religious system dating back to Nimrod. And Nimrod, mighty hunter, some say that he was one of the giants. He's the one that's building Babel, the Tower Of Babel, where we get the city Babylon. The Babylonian system, the religious system originates there at the Tower Of Babel. And so part of what happens is Nimrod has a wife named Cimmeramus. Now this is not in the bible, this part of it, but this is part of the Babylonian religious system. So she's known as the queen of heaven. So this is part of the woman that rides the beast, the whore, in Revelation seventeen and eighteen, or the queen of heaven, how the Catholic church worships Mary, the mother of Jesus. And she claims to have had a son named Tammuz, which she did have a son named Tammuz. Two different views on this. One says that when Tammuz was when she got pregnant with Tammuz, that somehow she executed Nimrod, she killed Nimrod. And Tammuz was Nimrod resurrected. Others talk about how there was an incestuous relationship with Semiramis was actually Nimrod's mother, and he had a relationship with his mother, an incestuous relationship, and what came out of that was Tammuz. And so, the Canaanites, Tammuz became a fertility goddess, and different names are used in different cultures. In the Canaanite culture, she's the Ashtroth pole, and that of Belle. In Greece, you would see Venus with Cupid and also Ishtar. Ishtar in the Greek culture. In the Egyptian culture, remember how you said on the wall they saw creeping things and all those animals? In Egyptian culture, they would have all sorts of, you know, different types of animals on the walls that they worshiped, the myriad of different gods that they worship. So as those elders are going back to worshiping all these creeping things and animals, it's a return to the belief system that they'd learned, you know, out of Egypt. In this case here, Osiris, and then remember Isis, Isis, that's part of the Egyptian belief system originating with Tammuz. So Tammuz, you there's another name for this, it's Damuzai And let's see here. Greek, adonis. And so damusi is a spring speaks of spring vegetation. So what happened is the women would be weeping and they're wanting good crops, they're wanting a good economy, and everything is a desert climate and so the cycle that's taking place is causing all the grass and everything to die. And as they worship, Tamuz, these women crying under Tamuz, the rain begins to come, the rains come, and then the ground, the vegetation is Tamuz being resurrected from the dead. So part of the belief system will carry over into Easter, that of Ishtar, and that of Christmas, the winter solstice, again, with the queen of heaven with her virgin born son. So what do we do as Christians? We just celebrate Christmas even though Constantine and others Christianize a pagan holiday. Okay? We know that Jesus wasn't born on December 25, but since our culture recognizes the virgin born son of God, we take advantage of it. Right? And we also take advantage of the celebration of the resurrection each spring, even though other groups are celebrating it counterfeiting it with the devil counterfeiting it with Tammuz, you know, resurrecting from from the ground coming up with the with the fertility and the agricultural, you know, increase that takes place in the spring. So anyway, just keep the main thing main thing. Keep it about Christ. So that was the what was happening with Tammuz. Then said he unto me, has thou seen this, oh, thou son of man? Turn yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than thee. So it's even gonna get worse. And he brought me into the inner inner court of the Lord's house, and behold, at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men. So these are priests. And in Joel two seventeen, you know, they're supposed to be weeping, but they're not weeping. And that you would think that the the world presently, that the pastors and the Christians would be called to repentance, sackcloth and weeping sackcloth and weeping before the Lord. But instead, we're filled with pride, and we're gonna make America great. We're gonna make the world great. Right? Totally the opposite of what needs to take place. Judgment begins at the house of God. And so these 25 priests, with their back toward the temple of the Lord, so they've turned their back upon God. And in first John five twenty says, John says, little children, keep yourselves from idols. But these guys are all into idols. They've turned their back upon God, and they're facing toward the East, and they worship the sun toward the east. So they've turned their back upon God. Now they're worshiping the sun gods. And Deuteronomy four nineteen forbidden to do this, to worship the sun. The sun, the moon, and the stars. Any of you know people that worship the sun, the moon, and the stars? Any of the people look at your zodiac each day and get your fortune and your fortune telling and and what's your horoscope today? The horoscope? Many people follow the horoscope. They look at the horoscope on a daily basis to see, hey, is this a good day or a bad day for me, you know? What are the gods telling us? Nancy Reagan used to do that. Then he said unto me, hast thou seen this, oh, son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here, for they have filled the land with violence and have returned to provoke me, to anger. So the evil in their belief system as a man thinketh his heart, so is he. It's spreading to the kids, it's spreading to the families, it's spreading to the nation. The entire nation is corrupted by the false religious system that the leadership is introducing, that's engaged in, in introducing everybody else you know, there unto. Now remember a time where I told you where Solomon had 700 wives, 300 concubines? Part of the pollution that permeated the land was Solomon began to marry a bunch of foreign princesses, of foreign wives. And these foreigners from other countries would bring their belief systems in, and Solomon would, out of love for them, build them a temple, a place of worship. And so the reintroduction like for instance, Ahab had Jezebel. She was a Sidonian princess from Sidon, Tyre and Sidon. And she introduced the nation into the idolatry of Balism and Ashtorethism. And so, which was already introduced but a reintroduction and that's when Elijah slew 450 of the prophets of Baal. And then there were 400 that Jezebel had that she protected less, you know, Elijah get to them. And so that belief system that permeated the 10 northern tribes. And remember, in a lot of cases, people still go to church, so to speak, go to temple, and they say, the Lord our God is one God. But in addition to that, they have idolatry in their life. That's why you'll see me when there's an emphasis or a pressure upon me to introduce something like, say, DEI. What's DEI? Diversity, equity, and inclusion. So pastors and churches feel pressure, diversity, equity, inclusion. So that's awokeism. It's in the workplace, in the school, in the church, in the culture, all of the different belief systems, or lack thereof, or lifestyles, are all to be embraced as a diversity. So that would be what we started out earlier talking about, a polytheistic society, or a pluralism, pluralism. Everything goes, everything's okay. We come along as Christians, and the reason we're hated is we preach the exclusivity of Jesus Christ. Exclusively. No man comes to the Father but by Him. People say, oh, we all worship the same gods. So now what you have is homosexual Christians engaging in the idolatry of sexual immorality. Right? It's idolatry. But you're supposed to accept that in the church. You're supposed to accept, you know, women in the pulpit, women being pastors and stuff. You're supposed to accept, where it's getting to the point where you're gonna have to accept, gays and lesbians in your staff. You gonna have to, at a certain point, you're gonna have to accept pedophilia. They're gonna make pedophilia, we call it the normalization. The judgment that God gives against homosexuality, lesbianism, pedophilia, aberrant aberrant behavior, which is idolatry in Romans one. Right? It's idolatry. You're worshiping and serving the creature rather than the creator. So he gives you over to those base desires as punishment. And what they do then in the culture is, they try to normalize it and say, made me this way. It's a bold faced lie. God didn't make you that way. You lean that way and choose to go that way, and maybe maybe you have within your head a desire to do those things, delve in those things because you were abused as a child, sexually abused, your head's messed up. That's understandable. But when you come to Christ, if any man be in Christ, he's a new creation, the old things have passed away, all things have become new. The Holy Spirit, the power of the Holy Spirit is such that he can transform a drunk to be sober, a womanizing man or a woman to be faithful in marriage. God transforms and changes people all the time throughout all of history. Jesus is more than enough to transform and change. And so, when you're looking at Paul and he's dealing with the church of Thessalonica and these other, pagan cities, he'll talk about how the Lord brought them out of idolatry. For the space of two hours at the city of Ephesus, where they're wholly given over to Diana. Diana again is another name for this fertility goddess, great as Diana of the Ephesians, just another name. Several different names they use for the same belief system for the space of two hours. Well, the silversmiths were making money off of that religion. And they knew that their craft or their trade was in jeopardy because Paul spent three years there in Ephesus planting a church. People were no longer going to the casino. They're no longer going to to worship, you know, the gods of pleasure. And so they're losing their revenue. And so that's why for the space of two hours, they were chanting, great is Diana of the Ephesians. And then later, Timothy took over the pastorate there in Ephesus, and later, it's not in the Bible, but tradition tells us the way that Timothy died was Timothy questioned. He stood against their worship of Diana. They had a festival like a like a Mardi Gras, like in Louisiana. They would have that. And Timothy stood up and said, this is wrong. This is against God's law. They took him out and beat him to death. People just took him out of the street and just beat Timothy to death. And so, lot of money to be made in false religion. So they're worshiping the sun. They're toward the east. They turn their back upon God, and they're worshiping the sun. Now, I'm a sun worshiper. I have to say that. But I worship God first, okay? God's first in my heart, and I like a good sunny day. I don't know how they did this to us again, but but it's not who I worship. Then he said unto me, hast thou seen this, oh, son of man? It is a is it a light thing? Is this just a little thing? Christianity light? You like Christian light? I like Christian light, gospel light. I like crystal light. Crystal light. Pastor, we just need a fifteen minute sermon. That's church light. Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abomination which they commit here? For they have filled the land with violence. They're responsible. Their false belief system led to corruption, filling the land with violence and have returned to provoke me to anger. So you're gonna bring about judgment. At what point is Sodom and Gomorrah ready for judgment? At what point do you and I say, Jesus said, as it was in the days of Noah, as it was in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah. Right? We're living in those days of corruption. Right? It's business as usual. Nobody seems to care. I'm excited that the Lord's coming back. I'm excited that he's gonna stop this corruption. I mean, it's it's glorious for me. I put not my confidence in man. I have no confidence in our government to fix what's broke. It's so incredibly corrupt, but yet they want to pray to guy. They want to pray to guy that he's going to fix it, mister fix it. I don't believe it. Take a lot of faith to believe that one. Take a lot less faith for me to believe that Jesus is coming, that the rapture is at the door because of the violence, because of the corruption, because of provoking God to anger. When you mess with children, when you mess with children the way these guys are, it's close. It's real close. And then he says, they return to provoke me to anger, and lo, they put the branch to their nose. And so this stench, they're they're rubbing it in my nose and their nose, the stench of coming is coming up, you know. The stench of Sodom and Gomorrah is coming up to the Lord of Sabioth, you know. And he's gonna send angels down to check it out and look at it. And he's gonna have to put it down. It's so corrupt he's gonna have to put it down. There's no restoration. And you know, there's no God has no plan of restoration for you if you're an unbeliever. There's no plan of restoration. He's not gonna restore you. He's not gonna make a better you. You guys are looking at me like deer in the headlights. Over and over and over and over again in the bible about worshiping false idols? Because man doesn't get it. Man keeps doing it. Man keeps reverting back, reverting back, reverting back. So generation comes along, and they're persecuted, radically persecuted, and they cry out for revival. They cry out for salvation. And then, the Lord sends, in the book of Judges, a deliverer. And then, they go through forty years of prosperity. In that time of prosperity, they forget God. That's why. They forget God. They fall in love with the prosperity, and they forget God. And when they forget God, they go into idolatry. And when they go into idolatry, God's angry, and he uses their enemies to discipline them. And when they're in affliction, they cry out to God, and the cycle repeats itself for four hundred and thirty years in the book of Judges. And what was the problem? Every man did that which was right in their own eyes. The YouTube prophets, all these nut jobs, putting stuff out there because they think they don't have any working knowledge of the Scriptures, and it makes me insane to have to watch people be so duped and so deceived by every man doing that. Well, feels good. It sounds good. His ear was bleeding, you know? Yeah. How many babies are dying? How many people are dying from the jab? How come he's the victim? There's real victims out there. How how is this sympathy card finding its way to being consecrated and anointed by God as the chosen one? We're going to see him in that show, the chosen. I just know it. He's going to be in there. He's going to be in there. They're going to write him in. Drives me crazy. There's so few Christians that we have the fellowship with that can think anymore. When did you ever come to a place that everybody is excused for being so stupid? He just didn't know. He just didn't know. Nobody told him. My pastor's stupid because he didn't go to school. He just doesn't know. He he he never studied the book of Revelation. He he just didn't know. Well, that's no excuse. Stupidity is no excuse. If you're gonna be in a position of leadership, you've gotta you gotta do your do you gotta study. If you're gonna be president, you better have intel. You better know what's going on. You can't act like a blooming idiot. And he's not a blooming idiot because his quotes are still there. His quotes of of the jab are still there. JD posted, if you watch JD, he posts it. The guy's never said he's sorry. He's never admitted wrong. He's still acting like he's a rock star with that jab. We're we're talking insanity that somebody would say, I'm gonna vote for this guy. Wait. Did you forget about the jab? Did you forget about COVID? Well, Fauci did it. No. It wasn't just Fauci. Look at his quotes. He takes credit for it. He says, I did that. But why do people do that? Because they love the pleasure. They love America. They want America to get back to the pleasure mania. They've worked hard. They got big retirements. They got lots of money. And they worked hard. And it's in jeopardy. Because if this goes down, then Klaus Schwab's a profit. You're going to owe nothing. Well, how's that going to happen? I don't want to lose everything. Who's going to fix it for me? There's the fixer. Let's roll the fixer out there. But it's all deception, isn't it? Because it's globalism, it's going down. And God is using him to expose people's hearts, that they're more in love with this world than they are with the return of Jesus Christ to take us to his home. Alright. So, therefore, will I also deal in fury. Mine eyes shall not spare, neither will I pity. And though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them. So the sun that softens the wax hardens the clay. So finally the Lord says, not my will, but thy will be done Because we wouldn't listen. And we have no access. They have no access through prayer to His throne of grace to find help when they need it. He says, you're done. You're done. Alright. Father, we thank you that we're not done, that you're not done with us. We thank you the best is yet to come. And Lord, you're coming for us, your bride. And Lord, this is the worst it's ever gonna be for us, for any of us. And for the unbeliever, this is the best it's ever gonna be for them. So Lord, we thank you for that distinction. We thank you that we're children of light, that you saved us, that when we were at war with you, Lord, when we were your enemies, Lord, You quickened us, You raised us from the dead. We were once children of wrath, but Lord, You saved us. And Lord, we praise and honor You and thank You for Your work of salvation. We thank You for the power of Your Holy Spirit in keeping us, that we not backslide and fall away. We thank you for the work of your Holy Spirit in helping us to come clean tonight, that the blood of Jesus Christ, your son, continually cleanses us of all unrighteousness, That Lord, we don't need to be those who are hypocrites living lives of practicing secret sin. But Lord, in the quietness of our our prayer closet, the quietness of our heart even now, Lord, we can not put it off till tomorrow like Pharaoh did, our heart is hardened. But, Lord, as you've identified those areas of our life that are corrupting us, defiling us, that need to be taken to the cross, Lord, we pray even now as we confess in the quietness of our heart that You're faithful and just to forgive us of our sin and to cleanse us of all unrighteousness, that Lord, Your blood would wash us. And Lord, no restoration, no restoring us, Lord, but God, if any man being Christ, he's a new creation. Renew creation in Christ. We ask for a new heart, Lord, you that would give us a new heart. That you would cleanse our heart. Wash and cleanse us, Lord. Make us new. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
