And we're gonna It's a big one. Yeah. Big let me tell you. So they wanna renew their vows, and there's this Catholic church built in the side there. And we're gonna go renew their vows there, and and they get to kiss my ring. And we're gonna be there's this there's this place where you get to float, and so we're invading the place like a a herd of wild bremellos. It's gonna be great. And so if you if you miss us, that's where we're gonna be. We're gonna do a TED talk from the Grand Canyon, and we're gonna be talking about the doctor Walt Brown tectonic plate theory, in case you don't know. And so Vicky is gonna do this podcast, but some people confuse it with a TED talk. And and so we're gonna do that. And in case you're concerned about my red eyes, Kathy and I had to put our cat down today, and it's been a really rough day for you cat lovers out there. You know how it feels. You know how it feels, man. So we're in Ezekiel 13. It's been a rough day, Kat. It's been a rough day. It's it's a rough day. Oh, a little foofy. We had to put him down. Alright. Oh my gosh. Oh, we can we pause? Can we pause? Can we pause for a bit? Alright. Ezekiel 13. Now Vicky's Vicky's got a gift. She's got a gift of getting more people to watch. Ever since she started at our church, she had a lot of sympathy because we're, like, 15 people when they first showed up. And so she works real hard robbing her with with the studio, the podcast, the Facebook, and all the stuff they do. So so they got a gift in getting more people to watch. I mean, last week, 600 people. Tonight or last yesterday, 300. So my gift is reducing that number, bringing that number way down. And so by the time by the time we're done tonight, let's let's see how many people we can run off. Alright? Okay. So let's pray. Father, we come before you. We just lift up this mighty. We pray that you fill us overflowing with your love, your holy spirit. Teach us, Lord. Thank you, Lord, in the midst of all the craziness in the world that we can gather in a place like this. And, Lord, just feel so secure in you, just at peace, sense in your love, your presence. And, no matter what calamities, no matter what difficulty we face, Lord, we have perspective that you're on the throne, you're in control, that everything's happening according to your perfect will, that you're working all things together for good for those who love God and are called according to your purpose, Lord. So work out your purposes in our life tonight. In Jesus' name, amen. Amen. Alright. Ezekiel 13. Now in this chapter, the Lord is wanting Ezekiel to address the false prophets. Does anybody know what a false prophet is? Why are you pointing at me? No. Because you're writing the book. A false prophet. So you have you have true prophets and you have false prophets. So in Matthew twenty four fifteen, Jesus tells or Matthew seven fifteen, Jesus tells us to watch out for false prophets. They'll come to you in sheep's clothing, and and so be careful. He tells us in Matthew 24 that there would be false prophets and false Christ in the last days. He said, take heed that no man deceive you. And so the problem with the nation of Israel was a spiritual problem. They had immersed themselves in idolatry with the pagan deities around them, and they have enchantments and sorcery and witchcraft and all other sorts of things that's been introduced. And you have true prophets like Isaiah. And Isaiah for his work, what how did he well, how was he rewarded by the people? He was sawn in half. Sawn half. Jeremiah, the prophet, forty years of being a true prophet trying to warn the people of impending judgment. God gave them forty years for a true prophet to be there. And what how how was he rewarded? Nobody got saved? And they maybe one. And they and tradition says they took them to Egypt after they they were real sore losers and that everything he said was gonna happen happen, and and they killed them in Egypt. And so Jesus said to his generation in his first coming, which of the prophets did not your fathers kill? You know? So God would send prophets like Hosea. He'd send prophets like Jeremiah, Ezekiel. Now Ezekiel's in part of the captivity. The Babylonians under Nebuchadnezzar hadn't destroyed Jerusalem as of yet, but Jeremiah, his letter to this these these in captivity, he was letting them know you're gonna be there for seventy years. So Daniel's there, Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego's there, and and they there there's the false prophets were saying, hey. When we get our alliance with Egypt, they're gonna help us overthrow the Babylonians and all you people are gonna be able to come back to Jerusalem and everything is gonna be great, great, great, peace, peace, peace, and that sort of thing. And so God's saying, you need to address the false prophets. So in the word of the Lord came unto me saying, son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy and say thou unto them that prophesy, notice, out of their own heart. So prophet is when we study in a few weeks here, when we get into first Corinthians chapter 14, the prophet speaks forth the edification, exhortation, and comfort. So a prophet should be one where the Lord has given you the words to say. And sometimes it can be predicted in the future. Other times it's speaking forth the word of God. And as we speak forth the word of God, the Holy Spirit speaks to us. And and so in Ephesians four, he gave some apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors, teachers, and and the reason he gave these men, not women. Prophets can be prophetesses, can be women, can be women. Right? So Miriam was a prophetess. Deborah was a prophetess. Holda, a prophetess. Philip the evangelist had four daughters who are prophetesses. So these are women that speak forth the word of God. These are women that teach the Bible. So you mothers, your prophetesses in your home as you teach your children the scriptures. You're speaking forth the word of God. Right? You're just not gonna be preaching at Calvary Bremerton. Okay? So so we're because we're biblical. Right? We wanna be biblical. So that would be that would be inappropriate. But as we get through this chapter here, he's gonna talk about all these women prophets. He's gonna be talking about Oprah. No. Stop. You don't think Oprah is trying to be a prophet? False prophet. He's Prophetess? A false prophet? And Jules knows about it. Her dad has the the false gospel that that Oprah uses and stuff. And so prophesy against it, prophesy and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts, hear ye the word of the Lord. So for Mormons, the false prophet Joseph Smith, they tell people to listen to the burning in their bosom, listen to their heart, you know. A lot of people use a vernacular. They say, hey, listen to your gut, you know, follow your gut, your gut instinct, you know. What's the Bible say about your heart? It's deceitful. Jeremiah seventeen nine? What's it say about the heart? Wicked. It's a wicked deceitful. What's the most what what is the most wicked thing on the planet? My heart. Your heart. My heart. Deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. What did God say about the hearts of the people in the time of Noah in Genesis chapter six? Evil god. They're always Continuously. Only evil continuously. Right? And it grieved God that he made man because the problem with man is his heart. Mhmm. Body and soul. We have a a fallen nature, and the heart is the seed of the of our soul, the mind, the will, the emotion. Fortunately, for you and I as Christians, God gives us a new heart. Amen. Right? And God's gonna give the nation of Israel a new heart. And he is gonna take away the foreskin of their heart. He's gonna take away the the stony part of their heart, make their heart soft in Jeremiah 31. Just as when you and I are born again, we're no longer body and soul, but body, soul, and spirit, and God gives us a new heart and a transformation, a change that Elon Musk can't give us, you know. And so Jesus tells us to beware of false prophets in Matthew seven fifteen that come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly, they're ravening wolves. Right? So from the outside, they look like sheep. They look like one of us. But inwardly, he's saying they the ravening wolves. Now how did he say we can identify them and know By their fruit. We examine the fruit. So what is what is some of the fruit that comes forth from their ministry or their what they're doing, some characteristics, let's say, of a false prophet. So financial gain. Financial gain is one of the big ones. Right? And now what's that mean, financial gain? Peter Peter told us they would make merchandise of us. Right? So you're just a commodity in second Peter two three. So we would take the word profit, p h profit, p r o p h e t, and we change it to you saw homeschool moms, would it be p r o f I t? Mhmm. Yeah. Of course. They're looking for a profit. Right? It's nickels and noses. It's an inordinate amount of time on the topic of money all the time. All the time, every month, bringing in the topic of money and sharing their vision with everybody, and they're going to change the world with your money. So they're they're making merchandise of you. You're a commodity. And and that's and now the interesting thing about the false prophets is they don't teach the word of God. Why why don't they teach the word of God? No. The word of god does not sell. Oh. You can't sell the word of God. The people don't want the word of God. The majority of people that say they're believers, that go to the temple, that go to Passover, that go to all the meetings, that go to church, don't want a bible study. They want messages that make them feel good. They want self help. It's about them. So the pastors, Paul said it this way, he said in the last days, they would heap to themselves teachers having itching ears. So they find pastors that will tell them what they want to hear. So the pastors go door to door like Rick Horn did, and they'll ask the people, what do you want in a church? And what do the people say? We want more music. We like more music. And the old people say, I like hymns. Middle age, I like this. Younger, I like this. So we're gonna have three sanctuaries of different groups of people for different kinds of music. But the message is gonna be the same message, and it's always gonna be how you can do good deeds, good things to make you feel good. Right? So it's not teaching. He told his people in the Purpose Driven Life, it's not creeds, it's deeds. The last days, one world religion is gonna be a religion of doing good deeds. You can be Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist. You can be any denomination. It's all gonna center on being good people. Good people go to heaven is the false gospel. Right? So today, the false gospel, Paul said, if anybody comes to you with a false gospel, let them be anathema. Anything different than the gospel that was presented. Right? So we have to start with what is the gospel? What is the gospel? It's the good news, but tell me how you're gonna lead somebody to Christ. Tell me how are you gonna what are you gonna say to them? Some of you know the Romans road. That kinda helps you. Let me say it this way. What's left out in the false churches? Sin? Repentance? So you can come in and be a good person, do good deeds, and you're a really good person if you write a big fat check every week. Yeah. That's a really good person. Right? And you might get your name on the wall. Right? You're a really prominent, really good a philanthropist, you know? But you might be committing adultery. You might be a drunk. You might alcoholic. Maybe you're a pedophile. Doesn't matter. Because in this church, we don't judge. We don't judge because that's hating. That's mean. You're a hater. You're a bigot. You're a racist. And so we have a false gospel, wokeism. We have a easy believeism, some would call it. Some would say it's a theological term is antianomianism, which means you're against the law. Hey, we're under grace man, grace card, grace card. Grace card means I could do whatever I feel like doing and nobody can judge me because I'm under grace man. But Jesus said if you love me, you'll keep my commandments. Not a legal relationship, a love relationship, a greater responsibility to live a life of obedience because he's revealing himself to you. And if you love him, you won't wanna hurt him by committing murder, by lying, cheating, stealing, committing adultery. If if I truly love Kathy and love my children and grandchildren, my family, if I truly love the Lord, then I'm gonna approach sin the way Joseph did. How could I do this great evil against God? David said against thee and thee only have I sinned. Our sin is against God. It breaks his heart. So the false prophets, they become very loosey goosey. Anything goes. The only thing in the one row religion that will not go, that won't be tolerated, is Jesus is the only way. Yeah. That's the only thing they won't tolerate in that one row religion. Mohammed, Buddha, Confucius, everybody everybody, it's okay. We all worship the same God. We all get there a different way. Just be a good person. Be good. Follow the follow the lead of the antichrist. Do with the antichrist. Worship the image of the beast and show your allegiance unto him and you'd be a good person. So thus saith the Lord God, woe under the foolish prophets. So these guys are false prophets, now they're foolish prophets. Woe unto them that prophesied of their own hearts, Hear ye the word of the Lord. So God's gonna bring his word. Thus saith the Lord God, woe unto the foolish prophets that follow their own spirit and have seen nothing. Jesus said these are the blind. If the blind lead the blind, where do they wind up? In the ditch. In the ditch. Right? In the Psalm a 119, David said, thy word have I hid my heart that I So if you sow God's word in your heart, the holy spirit's going to teach you right from wrong. The holy spirit's gonna give you discernment. You're gonna know the right way. You're gonna know what the straight and narrow way is. Right? Mhmm. Broad is the way that leads to what? And many go in there at. Right? That leads to destruction. So if you wanna be like the world and go the broad way, you're gonna wind up being destroyed. If you want to walk that straight narrow way, there's gonna be few that find it. It's narrow. It's the exclusivity of Jesus Christ. It's not the DEI, inclusion of everybody. Right? Equity, Diversity, equity, inclusion. It's exclusively Jesus. He's the only way. And when they say, well, why is it the only way? What are you gonna say to them? Why is it the only way? Because he died for our sins. I heard rose again. So does Joseph Smith have a grave? No. You wanna follow a dead man? Anybody wanna follow a dead man? Can a dead man lead you to life, lead you to heaven? Can Buddha is is Buddha in the ground? Yep. Can Buddha lead you to heaven? Can Confucius That's confusing. That's confusing. Yeah? So why would I follow a dead man? He might have some philosophical things that resonate or, hey. Oh, that that was a good that was a good parable there. That was a good story, but can that good parable story get me into heaven? So I wanna follow the one who conquered death. Amen. I wanna listen to the guy that conquered death, the one that said destroy this temple. In three days, I'll raise it up. And then his enemies knew he his challenge unto them. And they said this deceiver said, you know, destroy this temple. In three days, I'll raise it up. Speaking of his body, John's commentary, let's put a criterion of soldiers around the tomb and guard it, lest his disciples steal the body and this thing escalate and get even worse than it is right now. They did us a favor, didn't they? By guarding that tomb, they made it so that everyone knew there's no way the disciples could overpower those soldiers and then throw a 2,000 pound stone up the hill and grab Jesus and then come up with lame excuses that he as the swoon theory, well, know, Jesus didn't really die. He swooned. And when he hit that cold air inside that cave, he came back to life. He resuscitated. Not resurrection. Resuscitated. Well, there's a problem there. A centurion pierced his pericardium. Blood and water came out. The guy's seen a lot of dead bodies. He knows where that spear went. He's dead. He's dead. He's dead. You know? And now he's alive. And Thomas is doubting. He's not there. Behold, you know, look at them. Look at my hands and my feet, Thomas. Look at the scars. Put your finger here with that centurion spear. And he says, my lord and my god. So the resurrection factor, many infallible proofs, evidence that demands a verdict, eyewitness testimony. And as I said on Sunday, the onus, the burden of proof is upon the detractors, the debaters, the demonic Democratic party. It's the onus is on them. If they think they're gonna come along at this point in time in history and they're going to refute the deity of Jesus Christ, they're mistaken. They're they don't have that kind of clout or power or ability. Far greater people throughout history have tried to refute the resurrection and destroy Christianity, and Christianity just flourishes. So Robin Vicky's relative, Heidi Ringer Lloyd. I love saying that. Heidi Ringer Lloyd. Hi, Heidi. She blessed me by posting all these people that are getting saved in Iran. Amen. Isn't that amazing? Over a million people saved in Iran. Yeah. Do you hate Iran? No. Are you taught to hate Iran? Yeah. Oh. Right? Yeah. You're taught to hate Iran just as you were taught to hate Iraq. You were taught to hate Iraq. Or Russia. Yeah. Or Russia. And you're taught to hate Russia. Right? But there's Russian people that have nothing against you. There's people in there's people all over the world. They're just people like you and I. But the media has to sell war. They have to sell hate. And God's love overcomes all that hate. That's false prophets. Those are false prophets on the television trying to brainwash you to hate. I can't see Jesus doing that. I can't see him sitting there and and I'm the religious representative, you know, I'm the Franklin Graham or Billy Graham or whoever the religious talking head is that's gonna get on Fox News and what do you think? Well, you know, it is the nation of Israel and we're commanded those that bless Israel, God will bless. Alright. There you go. But do we carry it over our next sentence by saying, we're gonna destroy Iran. What do you think we should do with Iran? Bomb them into oblivion. What should we do with Iraq? 2,000,000 innocent civilians, you know, die as we invade. And I told you guys about the Japanese. Right? I told you about the Japanese after World War two? The Japanese, we we stifled them. We didn't give them you know how we use sanctions to stifle and strangle people? We didn't give them oil. We didn't give them energy. They don't have their own ability to continue with their industrial age. And so we knew they were gonna hit Pearl Harbor, and we purposely held back and allowed that to happen because we needed to sell war. That's called a false flag. And when they hit Pearl Harbor and the newspapers put it out there, everybody signed up to go kill the Japs. Right? Because Americans didn't wanna go into the wars. They didn't wanna go into European war with with Hitler and all that. But this brought America into the war. And we got into the war, and you know the story. We dropped a nuclear weapon upon Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And when general Douglas MacArthur is there signing a peace treaty with unconditional surrender of the emperor of Japan, whom the Japanese people viewed as being deity, They thought he was God in their belief system. Now it's proven right before their eyes that he's not God, that he couldn't stop those nukes. And so they sign a treaty, unconditional surrender, and general Douglas MacArthur had a message for the church. There's a huge spiritual vacuum here in Japan. Their whole belief system crashed and burned. Come here with the gospel. Come to Japan and share the gospel with these people. They need to meet Jesus. And you know what the American church did? They were taught to hate and they wouldn't go. They hated the Japanese. So what did the Japanese adopt by and large? Peter Drucker. Peter Drucker, the one that helped Rick Warren with the purpose driven life. The three legged stool of one leg of the stool is government, another leg of the stool is religion, and the third leg of the stool is business. That's the purpose driven life, purpose driven country. That's the that's the model for the World Economic Forum to merge the church with government with business. So what was adopted? Peter Drucker was sent to Japan to help with their industrialization. They adopted they embraced what? Capitalism. Capitalism. The I the idol of the Japanese became manufacturing, building Toyotas, Hondas, everything to rebuild their country. And so materialism materialism took the place, the same the same god of the Americans. Can I say that? How tragic that is when when we're brainwashed by hate. Mhmm. That's not the heart of God. And it's the false prophets, the false talking heads that get people to believe this stuff. And so the blind leading the blind, they fall into the ditch. And judgment's coming, and yet the people don't wanna hear it. So, oh, Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts. The foxes in the deserts, they flourish in the ruins. They flourish where everything's been destroyed. They're crafty. And Song of Solomon, two verse 15 says, the little foxes that spoil the vineyards, you're wanting to be fruitful, you're wanting to be productive, and these little foxes get in there and they they spoil. Spoil the vine. Spoil the vine. And if we abide in the Lord, he's with the vine, he's the branches, you know, we bring forth fruit. But there's always those that wanna meddle and spoil what God's wanting to do. And we need to be careful, the little foxes that wanna spoil the vineyard. And your prophets are like these foxes. I I wanna be productive. I wanna make you guys productive and bless your lives and cause you to flourish, but your prophets are like little foxes running around destroying everything. And what you need what you guys need is not another president, not another false king. What you guys need is some prayer warriors, some people that know how to stand in the gap because judgment's coming. Judgment's coming. Nebuchadnezzar's coming because you guys refuse to repent. The prophets haven't taught you the necessity of repentance of turning your ways. They haven't taught you that you're sinful. You think you're special. You think you're the what's that term for the post World War two generation? The exceptionals. You're the exceptionals. You're better than every other generation before you, you know, and that might be true. I don't know. But the problem is you have no prayer warriors. Right. When the children of Israel came out of Egypt, God was ready to destroy them because of their disobedience. But there was a prayer warrior there that averted God's judgment. God's looking for a reason to not judge America. He wants a reason to not judge America. Amen. Can we give him a reason? Then where's the repentance? Where's the call to repentance? It's gotta start with each person. All through. We need we need some prayer warriors. So who wants to read Psalm a 126? Or excuse me. Psalm one zero six twenty three. Psalm one zero six twenty three. I will. Good job. Do you think that, you know, like, San Francisco took a lot of the Japanese people when they stayed in, like, concentration camp type style things. Do you think that they were taught any Well, there's there's a lot of Japanese people that come to Christ. We're talking as a whole As a way people view various countries. The example presently is Iran. Iran's ready to be destroyed. '6. Six. '23. But in the midst of Iran, people see the emptiness of Islam. They're not going to the mosque, and they're coming to Christ. Cool. You know that Paragons was concentration camp. I I didn't live here. Right. So we're gonna get back on point. Psalm a 106 verse 23. K. Therefore, he said that he would destroy them. Had not Moses, his chosen, stood before him in the breach to turn away his wrath, least he should destroy them. So Moses sensed how threatening it was. He sensed the danger. God's really gonna judge these people. God's really gonna wipe them out. He sensed how important it was that we don't have much time. Urgency. Right? And he had a sense of urgency. Yes. And and he prayed and he stood in the gap. God's looking for prayer warriors. He's looking for people that know what it is to stand in the gap. But if people don't see any alarm, if they don't see any cause, if they don't see any danger, any impending judgment coming, then everything the attitude is everything's gonna continue as it always has. If we preach the gospel and let people know that Jesus is coming again and that the world's gonna fall into great tribulation, so grave, so bad that nope. Jesus said a time that nobody's seen or will ever see again. Right? And they don't take the sense of urgency how important this is to come to repentance and to come to Christ to avoid judgment. And we talk about the rapture. The rapture is coming for the church and all. And their excuses to Peter. Peter saying this, well, everything's gonna continue as it always has. I've I I heard about the rapture forty years ago and I saw the Tim LaHaye and the books and left behind, watched the movie, nothing ever happened. The rapture, the rapture, they don't like the rapture. They don't like to hear about the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and savior. Everything's gonna continue as it always has and they make a grave mistake because here Peter's example is Noah building an ark, hundred and twenty years of preaching, a preacher of righteousness, and the people didn't have a sense of the danger they were in, of God judging by flood. Now next week when I'm at the Grand Canyon, I'll explain the flood to you guys. We're gonna look for the red haired stepchildren, the Nephilim that are there in some of these caves and They're aliens. And we're gonna explain the layers, the various layers, and the dinosaurs, and the people, and all the the what do you call them again, Steve? The layer? The fossil record. We're gonna explain the fossil record. Yeah. We're gonna show that through carbon dating and all that that it's not as old as those guys are saying. We're gonna show that it happened like that. Right? Mhmm. So if you see the fossil record there and all these animals caught, boom, it happened like that. But the evolutionary theory wants to negate the God of creation in Genesis the book of Genesis and the way it flood. And there you have proof of as in an instant like Mount Saint Helens. It happened instantly. It happened just so quickly. And so that's what people do is they try to scoff at judgment. I've got plenty of time. Judgment's not coming. It's pointed on all men once to die and then the judgment. So you have until the point in time you die and you live a delusional life thinking, I'm gonna I'm gonna live forever. I'm never gonna die. You know? Says, we're not gonna die. We're gonna figure out a way to live forever. And that's the lie that the antichrist is going to propagate and spread to people because when they reject the truth in second Thessalonians two, by rejecting the truth, they're given over to a strong delusion that they would believe the lie that the devil gave to Adam and Eve is you're not gonna die. You're gonna live forever. You don't need to worry about getting right with God. And yet we as Christians, we can sense the urgency, we can sense the danger, we can see the corruption, and we know it's not a political problem. There's no way we can get anybody in there to fix this. We sense it's a spiritual problem, and we stand in the gap and we pray on behalf of of the people that God opened their eyes, removed the scales. We act like Abraham when we see the impending judgment that's coming on Sodom and Gomorrah, and we don't allow our hate of gays and lesbians and all the Sodomites to to ruin the sweetness of the cross. Instead, we we intercede and we say, God if there's 50 righteous, would you spare the city for 50 righteous? Would you because we know in our heart that God doesn't judge the righteous with the wicked. So the righteous are there a salt and light to preserve to provide a little bit more time to get the gospel out to get a few more people saved. And righteous Lot is there with his family, the cousin of Abraham. We see the heart of God. He's willing to delay. He's looking for a reason to delay. He's looking for a reason not to judge. But the cries of the children are coming up because these pedophiles, these sodomites, they won't stop till they've polluted, till they've what's the word? They've taken any vestige of innocence from these children and Desecrated. Desecrate. The devil has come to steal, to kill, and to destroy and wants to steal that innocence and and those that have been abused in many cases become abusers and the whole city's given over to it. And the Lord's looking for a reason to not. If there's 45 righteous, if there's 40, there's 35, all the way down to 10, and and God says, alright, Abraham, you're an intercessor. If there's 10 righteous, then we'll hold off. We won't judge. And I believe that's what the Lord's looking for today is that the church would recognize the urgency and how close, especially the church in America, how close we are to judgment. And we think, just get us till November. We'll put in our hero there and he'll fix everything. And that's a delusionary tactic. It's it's the wrong diagnosis of the problem. It's a spiritual problem. So the the moral walls are falling. So you have not gone up into the gates, into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the Lord. And so there's such incredible amount of corruption. And God's being forced to judge. He's gonna have to judge because he's a because he's a just and a holy God. There's been nothing done to rebuild. Instead, the trend is more and more falsehood, more and more lies, more and more turning the Laodicean church kicking Jesus out of the church, and the Laodicean church being self satisfied. Hey, our false gospel's working. Look, we've got money to build a new building. Our false gospel's working. Look look how rich the false prophets are becoming. The pragmatism of it must be God. Look at how blessed we are because they haven't seen judgment yet. They don't sense the judgment. They don't sense sense how displeased God is and the making merchandise of of people. They have seen vanity and lying divination. That's what they've seen. So they've been deceived by demons. In second Timothy three thirteen, evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. In first Timothy four one, the spirit speaks expressly that in the latter times, some shall depart from the faith giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. A departure from the faith is a departure from the truth which is apostasy, a great falling away from the truth. And so they still go to church. They still claim to be Christians. They still sing. But what's the content? What's the content in the songs? What's the content in the messages? Is it the cross? Is it the blood? Is it Christ? Is it is it a a call to turn from sin and get right with God? Or is it a license? A license. Grace becomes a license to live however we want and no accountability and just be a good person and Feel good mentality. A feel good smooth things. Yep. The people love it so. And witchcraft entering into the church, many false prophets, divination saying the Lord sayeth and the Lord has not sent them. So they're they're speaking for the Lord and the first person, thus saith the Lord, I had a dream. I had a vision. I'm a YouTube prophet. This is what's gonna happen in America. This is what's gonna happen. And then it doesn't happen. Deuteronomy says they should be taken out and stoned, killed. That's how you know if they're a true prophet or a false prophet. They prophesy the future. It doesn't happen. They should be taken out and stoned. That's how you know. The Lord saith and and and the Lord has not sent them, and they made others to hope that they would confirm the word. So they're providing their their false prophets, their foolish prophets, and they give a false hope. Can you think of ways people are being given a false hope today? Yeah. Cotton candy gospel. A cotton candy gospel? No substance? And Trump's gonna save everything. Trump's gonna fix it. And the evangelicals love it so in Jeremiah five. They just love it so. Make America great, make the world great, False hopes. They made others to hope that they would confirm the word. Have you not seen a vain vision? Have you not spoken a lion divination? Whereas you say the Lord say it and I'll be at I have not spoken. So God's saying these guys are liars. There's nobody to pray. You're listening to false prophets. They're telling you the Babylonians aren't gonna destroy the city. I'm telling you the city is gonna be destroyed. They're telling you it's not. They're telling you there's gonna be peace peace where there is no peace. Revelation nine twenty one, Revelation eighteen twenty three, God rebukes the sorcery during the tribulation period. Sorcery is pharmakia, the drugs Mhmm. The witchcraft, the occult activity, seducing spirits and doctrines of devils comes into the church. In Jeremiah eight eleven, peace peace where there is, no peace. And so in mine hand my hand and he says lies, therefore behold, I am against you, saith the Lord God. Therefore, thus saith the Lord God, because you have spoken vanity and seen lies, therefore behold, I am against you, saith the Lord God. So what's happening is in their occult practices, demons are deceiving them. So they might really be seeing something and hearing something or whatever, but they're it's not God. It's not the Holy Spirit. So they're they're like the 450 prophets of Baal that are cutting themselves, and they're chanting, and they're getting into their chant, and and they're trying to get the demons to reveal things to them. And and then they when they think they hear this stuff or a, you know, a tunnel, a fire tunnel that they run through, they're trying to manifest some sort of occultic presence in its deceptions, a demonic deception. It's not the Lord that's doing that. God says, I haven't spoken. Therefore, thus saith the Lord God, because you have spoken vanity, which is emptiness. Psychology is emptiness. The psychobabble, the feel good messages that are in almost all the churches because the people love it so. The absence of prophecy, one third of the Bible's prophetic. They don't wanna teach prophecy because, again, the people are in charge. The word Laodicea means people rule. Do you know that? So the people rule in that they make it known what they want. The pastors, the leadership, are business people that recognize what the people want. They provide what the people want, which is vanity, emptiness, feel good. A lot of the churches have had around here have hired more and more, quote, unquote, Christian counselors that they charge people to come and talk to, especially after COVID when people were isolated and made alone. And the people have the people have needs. The people have an emptiness. The people need to hear from God. And when we study God's word, God's able to speak to all of us. You might have a marriage problem, might have a dog problem, a cat problem, a kid problem, but the holy spirit ministered all of us. There isn't any one person that I need to meet with, you know, that is qualified to deal with all that. We have the comforter. Jesus said he'd send the comforter. If you go through the word, the holy spirit's your counselor. The holy spirit's your comforter. Not to say you can't have coffee and talk to a friend, a person, you know, one on one, but that friend needs to bring it all back to not what I think, not what I think, because now you're given wisdom from your own heart. You gotta bring the word of God to him. The word of God says, God says I liked one of the phrases of Billy Graham. The Bible says and then he the Bible says, you know, he keeps saying that. I love that. I love when we give the word of God. And how can people argue with God, you know, argue with his word? Billy didn't sit up there saying, you know, Ruth and I were praying the other day and I think God's telling us to do this. No. How do we know you're even hearing from God, Billy? No. He'd say the Bible says we already know what God wants us to do. God's revealed it in his word. And so the Lord you're speaking vanity, the emptiness, the just the little stories. It's story time. It's it's the fairy dust. Vicky's been to places other people have been to places where they've prearranged where they get dust to come down. Little glitter. Glitter in your hair. Oh. You know? And all these gimmicks. And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity and that divine lies. They shall not be in the assembly of my people, Neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel and you shall know that I am the Lord God. And so they're going to be rejected by God. They're gonna be taken as captives. They're gonna be destroyed, and they're not gonna be a part of the assembly. I love being a part of the assembly. The congregation, the ecclesia, the ecclesia, the church is the assembly of the church. Right? I love being a part of the assembly. God hasn't called any of us to be solo Christians. I'm just gonna stay home. And those of you that are home, that's fine. Listen on Facebook or whatever. But that that that is an exception to the norm. The norm is if you can go to Costco, if you can go shopping, you can make it to church on Sunday. Exactly. I miss you. You can be with the assembly. Are you convicted? Are you convicted? And if you have to work on Sunday, no problem. Come on Monday. Right? Right. No problem. One man esteems one day above another, another man every day alike. Doesn't mean you're under the law that you have to be there every Sunday. But maybe more people were confused than I realized. Maybe Cheryl, who's new at the church, when I said I'm in the pulpit fifty weeks a year, and she interprets that as no church for two more weeks, She obviously wasn't there during COVID when all the churches were shutting down and we stayed open. That that says something. Amen. That that that You were on vacation. It doesn't matter, though. Church doesn't revolve around me. Amen. It's his church. And we have someone that can fill in that did a great job. Right? Yeah. And we'll continue to fill in. If something happens to me, Kathy will be your pastor. You'll know. I'm just kidding. God doesn't need any of us, but it's important for us to be there for the assembly, for the people that that you know, church attendance is so far down in America. Way, way, way, way down. We used to meet more than just Sunday mornings and Monday night or whatever, midweeks and Sunday night and different times. And the appetite that people have for the word of God, the sermons have shortened. And I think I almost hit a record this past Sunday. I think it was hour thirty six, you know. Now one day I'm gonna get to two hours. I'm gonna is two hours a hundred and twenty minutes? Yes. Sixty. Sixty six. Oh, my that's pretty good, man. That's pretty good. Wait a minute. That was worship and everything. Yeah. Okay. I mean, that's crazy. You guys are nuts to put up with that. But that means that you love the Lord. That that means that that you're there for the word of God. And Betty Betty's over there groan and, oh, my back hurts. I like the word, but my back hurts. Alright. You can get up and walk. Neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel. So they're basically, I'll blot your name out of the lamb's book of life. Your name's not in the lamb's book of life. Somebody gotta go? Because even because they have seduced my people, saying peace, peace, there is no peace. What's it mean to seduce? Seduction. Fall for. Pardon me? To fall for. To fall for it? To fool. To fool. So these guys are able to they're they're seductive. They're able to fool. Now the ones that are the most vulnerable is our children. And these adults are allowed into our schools and libraries and and dressed up as fairies, and they're trying to seduce our children during their formative years. And as a parent, we shouldn't even allow our children to be anywhere near that. There's no way a child should be confused about his gender. Male and female, God made him. But if if adults are allowed to seduce and Oprah and her friends are allowed to seduce these children, we got a problem. And the seduction of Christianity, the witchcraft. Pastor, why doesn't somebody stop a witchcraft? She's that's a that's that's a quest that's a question that's a question for all of them. Why why did the wicked prosper? Psalm 73. Why do they get away with what they get away with? Why hasn't anybody stopped George Soros? How can George Soros hire people with his whatever $15.20 dollars an hour on Craigslist? They put pallets of bricks in Seattle. Pallets delivered with a forklift, and they set them down on the street. And the police officers are told to stand down. And then these Black Lives Matters guys come in and start throwing bricks, torching everything. And how can somebody do that and not be arrested? How can you not arrest the organizers of that sort of thing? All you have to do is follow the paper trail and the money trail. It's pretty obvious. And how can Bill Gates, you know, get away with telling everybody, you have no choice. You have to all be vaccinated. How can he pollute our food and buy all the farmland? How how do these guys stay out of jail? I don't know. And then you got Epstein Island and Epstein, you got the whole role, the whole list, catalog all the people that are involved in that. And now you got p Diddy. P Diddy, diddy, diddy? And you got Oprah. And Their their judgment time will come. Yeah. It will come. But we we have to protect our kids. We have to protect our kids from these influences. So because even the because they have seduced my people saying peace and there is no peace and one built upon a wall and low others daubed it with untempered mortar. So he's he's saying that these false prophets are giving people a false sense of security. Like, oh, we're gonna the Republicans are gonna win the presidency, the house, the senate. We're gonna turn this thing around. The economy is gonna be great. Military is gonna be great. Make America great, and it's a false hope. It's a false peace. Mhmm. Because how do I know? Because the Republicans had the presidency, the house, the senate, and they didn't arrest one criminal. Not one. Not one. So what is it? It's a ruse to delay, to stall when they do this so that they can get us to global government and a global economy and a global religious system. And they have to crash the current system, but they can quell any kind of anxiety by sending people to churches that don't know or tell the truth. They can keep the sheep calm, keep the people calm until a point in time. Finally, it's time to create greater and greater chaos, greater and greater fear. And once the fear is there, they can lead the people to FEMA camps and food and water and and a new digital system, artificial intelligence digital system that they're gonna roll out. Always interrupting. And so they daub it. So we're talking about construction. Any of you guys build a wall? And you daub it with untempered mortar? So maybe to maybe you would take whitewashing when you put some bricks and you wanna have a white side of it, and and you've gotta put a catalyst in it. You gotta put a hardener in there. You gotta make it the right consistency or it's not gonna have the the integrity to hold the wall up to make it strong enough. So what happens is if you don't do it right, then it's gonna rain real hard and it's gonna just wash off. It looks good when you're first done. You get your paycheck and the contractor goes home and, hey, this looks great, but then it starts to rain. And and it it's it's been proven. It it was tested and it failed the test. So while and low others daubed it with untempered mortar. So there Jesus, when he was looking at the pharisees, what did he call them? White sepulchre. What's it mean to be a white washed sepulchre? You're dirty, but you're white. You're making yourself look good. So on the outside, they take this whitewashed stuff and put it on there. But inward, what inside there, what was there? Dead men's. Full of dead men's bones. Dead men's. So the corruption from within, you can't escape your own corrupt heart. You can't escape it. And now outwardly, you can and a lot of these very wicked people, what they do is they become philanthropists, and they become foundations, the Clinton Foundation, and the Rockefeller Foundation. And they posture themselves publicly, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. They posture themselves publicly that they're there to save children, that they're gonna go to Africa and they're going to give vaccines to children. Right? And they paid the government there with these microloans, and the government, those in power, forced their own little children to go and receive the Bill and Melinda Gates, and you and you should hear him talk about it. You know? It's just so demonic. And and over and over again, they they try to capitalize on these small little nations to experiment there upon. And they do it in in such a way that they're saviors. We're gonna save the world, save the planet. And yet they're they're demons, they're devils. They're destroying. They're killing people, but they white walls they're white walls sepulchers, but they're full of dead men's bones. And so say unto them who daub it with untempered mortar that it shall fall. There shall be an overflowing shower and you, oh, great hailstones shall fall and stormy wind and break it. So we're told in Matthew seven two types of people, a person that builds their house on sand and a person that builds their house upon the rock. Right? If you build upon rocks, it's gonna take you longer? Yep. Because why? Because you gotta dig down. Right? Mhmm. Gotta dig down to find the the where the rock is. Right? The bedrock. I heard bedrock. Right? Bedrock. Twist. Twist. So When you talk about the three little pigs. Yeah? Okay. Tell that story. Three little pigs. House. One was a straw house? One built a straw house. One built Wood stick. Wood. Wood stick house, and the other built a house. And they were puffed and puffed and blew everything down but the brick house. It's good. So how can we how can we those stories were written with a spiritual possibly a spiritual truth. So who's the wolf? The devil. Devil? And so the devil comes along and wants to destroy. Destroy. Steal, kill, and to destroy. So Jesus tells us be doers of the word, build it out of brick, and when the storms of life come, your house can remain standing. Right? Like the three little pigs. The wolf tried to blow the stone house and he couldn't do it. They ate us. Oh. Sorry. So what about the three bears? Or It's all the time. What about Little Red Riding Hood? Right. Thank you guys very much. No. Some of the some of them have a have a spiritual that was a good spiritual application right there. Right there. And so we wanna we we go along thinking that we're protected, and we have a false sense of security because we believe lies. And we don't see beyond the daubed wall. We don't see the whitewash that's there. So the media is there to whitewash everything to make it all appear like it's all good, and we don't know how bad it really is until it's tested, until a crisis hits. And then we realize we were deceived and that we we don't have the protection that that that we're supposed to have. So real military guys, they know how much armaments we have. They know the kind of soldiers we have today. They know the training, and they'll they'll look at it and they'll say, we're in trouble. If we ever faced a war, we're in trouble. And they know, but the common person doesn't know because we haven't been tested yet. We haven't faced the war. We haven't faced the enemy as of yet. And these enemies that we're gonna face in the future, they're not Iraq. They're not Yemen. They're not Afghanistan. They're not third world countries. The Houthis of Yemen are already demonstrating that with a $50,000 drone that they can cause a lot of trouble and that we have to use million dollar missiles to try and counteract it and all. And so it's a it's a different kind of a war that we're gonna be heading into. So false protection. Therefore, thus saith the Lord God, I will even break it with a stormy wind and in my fury and there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger and great hailstones in my fury to consume it. This is gonna happen in Ezekiel thirty eight and thirty nine. God's gonna intervene with hailstones and he's gonna destroy Gog Magog, the invasion of Israel. God's gonna intervene. And all the technology of these superpowers and powers are gonna be wiped out. And five out of every six of the invading force is gonna be destroyed because God's gonna intervene. And so here we have later, this comes to pass where Nebuchadnezzar in May destroys the walls, destroys the city, destroys the temple. And then later we have after seventy years, we have Cyrus, the Persian takeover, Daniel's still alive, and we have Nehemiah, a butler, and his heart is grieving. Remember we talked about a prayer warrior? Remember we talked about somebody that was standing in the gap? Nehemiah is that guy. Nehemiah is one of those guys. Ezra the priest is another one. And there's a remnant of people after seventy years who the king Cyrus allows them to go back and they're allowed to go back to Jerusalem and rebuild. And when they went to go rebuild, Nehemiah led led the the people, that remnant there. And Nehemiah four three, Tobiah and Samballot came and said that a little fox could throw over that wall. So Nehemiah wants to, first of all, build a wall for protection from the enemies. They need a they need a border wall to protect them. Right? And so he begins to rebuild the wall, and they have resistance against them, the Arabs that were there. And so what they do is they don't quit with any kind of ridicule or whatever. A fox could throw that over. So they're not dobbing it with, you know, a fake way to build it. They're building it truly. So they've got a trowel in one hand. You So got some concrete or whatever to put those bricks, those rocks, the rubble, to re put that rubble on top of it. Sean's gonna build a rock wall for Jeff and Christy, and they're gonna fit them together, but not with any trowel and all that. But but but in any event, they're gonna rebuild the wall. So they have a trowel in one hand and they have a sword in the other. So they have to be ready for battle with their enemy to try and destroy the building of that wall. And and Psalm a hundred and twenty seven one says, except the Lord build the house, they that labor labor in vain that build it. These guys are acting like we can we can keep the walls up. We can keep everything going. God's saying, no. It's all coming down. In Nehemiah chapter six fifteen and sixteen, the wall was built in fifty and two days, and the enemies knew that that work was wrought of God, that only God could do that, rebuild those walls. And so these false prophets, that the edifice that which they're building is not something that's gonna last. It's not something that can sustain your marriage. The sermons are not going to feed you your spirit that your marriage can withstand the assault that's gonna come against it during life. But when we listen to the true living God and study his word, we're doers of the word, not just here, but doers of the word. And the doing of the word is strength to our marriage because our house is built upon Jesus Christ. It's not built upon me, the husband, not built upon my wife, not built upon the children, not built upon the economy, it's built upon Jesus. And as doers of his word, there's strength that comes in the storms of life manifest and show what kind of person we are, what kind of home we have, what kind of marriage we have, what kind of family we have because it's tested. And when it's tested, that's why I said on Sunday, things are about to get biblical. America's about to be tested. And when America's tested, the church is tested. How did how well did we do the last test? We shut down. The majority of the churches shut down, and they took the money. And they didn't discern right from wrong. They believed a lie. And now that Klaus Schwab's and all them are are admitting it was just a test. It was a test of compliance. The whole world was was facing a test that the World Economic Forum devised to see if they could how how well they could do with their tyranny to shut the whole world down. And so it's gonna happen again. And and so therefore, thus saith the Lord God, I'll even break it with a stormy wind and my fury, and there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger and great hailstones in my fury to consume it. So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered mortar and bring it down to the ground so that its foundation shall be uncovered and it shall fall and shall be consumed in the midst of it, and you shall know that I am the Lord. So a complete collapse is coming. And so thus will I accomplish my wrath, God's wrath, upon the wall and upon them that have daubed it with untempered mortar and will say unto you, the wall is no more, neither they that daubed it. So when I was growing up, if you had a car that was a beater and you wanted to paint it, you'd look for the rust. Right? You'd look for rust. You'd look for soft spots. And and then they would put in a product that they called Bondo. Remember that? And guys would put that in there. It's like a it's like a fiberglass, like an epoxy, and they'll put it in the holes, and they'll they'll they'll sand it and all that. And then they'll put a primer coat on it. Rust oleum. And then they'll take and they'll paint it. Now if that car if you take that car after you paint it, now you wanna go sell it, you're gonna try and sell it to somebody and unscrupulous people would say, you know, hey. This car is worth x amount or whatever and never had any rust in it. Yeah. Good floor floor panels, you know, the whole thing. So a guy like Steve would go there and he would have a magnet and that magnet might be encased in velvet and and he'd walk along the car with this magnet. And if he reaches a spot where the magnet doesn't then the little little tap on there. Hey, buddy. I think there's a little Bondo here. Thank you. In fact, I think this whole panel is I think this is the Bondo Mobile, and it ain't worth it ain't worth a thing. So so you don't do that. It's it's corruption. So you try to cover the corruption. The word sincere means no wax. So the same thing would happen with vases. The vases, the potter would make a really nice vase and then put it in the kiln. The kiln is the testing. It has to go through the fire. And in the fire, it cracks. So there's oxygen, there's air, there's impurities that didn't didn't crush out all the air pockets. So in the kill process, there's a crack that develops. So the artisan would take wax just like the Bondo, and they'd put the wax into the crack, and then they'd try and color it. You know, I'm gonna put a color on this. And then they would show it to people to sell it like in a bar where there really bad lighting, really bad lighting and hold it up. Right? And try and get them to buy it. That's the word sincere means no wax. Are you a sincere person? Well, they're sincere. Well, how do you know they're sincere? Well, there's there's no corruption there. They're not lying to me. There's no wax. I can they're genuine, if you will. Well, these guys, these false prophets are insincere and they're deceiving people. To with the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem and who see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord God. So we have false prophets today that see seven mountains. Right? We have false prophets say there's no judgment coming. America's gonna continue. Everything's gonna continue as it always has. And they have a seven mountain mandate. They have what's called dominion theology or kingdom now theology. And some very prominent Christian conservatives are a part of this movement. It's a false gospel. It's a false movement. Yep. It's not gonna happen. But this hope this false hope that they're presenting to people is basically we as Christians need to gain control of Christian nationalism. We need to get control of the media. We need to gain control. That's one mountain. Another mountain is the schools. Right? And so we're gonna have these seven facets, these seven pillars that our society is built upon, these mountains, and we gain control of them, we're gonna Christianize force Christianity. And and then when we do this, there's gonna be such a righteousness that then Jesus will come back. So Jesus depended upon us to make the world righteous, and then he's gonna come back. Right? And that's their seven mountain mandate. It's called Dominion Theology. Take Dominion, and then Jesus will come back. The truth is Jesus warned us and told us there would be perilous times, that there would be times where men's hearts failing them for fear. Turn to Luke chapter 21. Matthew, Mark, Could have done Matthew 24. Right? But we wanna do a little Luke 21. Luke twenty one fifteen. So we got false prophets saying everything is gonna be great, and we have Jesus letting us know that things are gonna get really bad before they get better. Verse 15, for I will give you a mouth and Is that what that says? And your adversaries shall not be able to contradict nor understand. And you shall be betrayed both by parents and brethren and kinsfolks and friends, and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. So Jesus is given the reality that when he's crucified after he's gone, that the next forty years between this point in time and seventy AD, here's some things to consider that's gonna happen when Titus surrounds Jerusalem and destroys Jerusalem. There's people there just like in this point in time that think there's gonna be peace, peace, peace, and everything is gonna continue as it always has. And you shall be hated of all men for my name's sake, but there shall not a hair of your head perish and your patience possess your souls. And when you shall see Jerusalem compass with armies, then know that its desolation is near. So we're dealing with May. Jesus is letting the guys know in the second temple period, king Herod's temple in Jerusalem is also gonna come under judgment. The Romans are gonna reach a point where they're so sick and tired of the rebellion of the Jews that they put a siege upon the city the same way Nebuchadnezzar did. And Jesus is gonna say, not one stone is gonna remain upon another. Okay? So so desolation is near. Then let them who are in the Judea flee to the mountains. So the Christians that are alive, they know when they see this to flee. 2,000,000 people are gonna die in Jerusalem because many of them didn't believe it and didn't flee. And flee to the mountains, let them who are in the midst of it depart. So run to Arkansas, man. Get to Arkansas. Get to Montana. You know, get to Texas. Get out of here. Get away from the cities and bunker down, man. And let them who are in the midst of depart and let not them that are in the countries enter into it. So get out to Seabeck, buy some land in Seabeck, man, for these are the days of vengeance and all things which are written, may be fulfilled. But woe unto them that are with child and to them that nurse children. My daughter's gonna always be nursing children in those days. So how can you flee if you're nursing, if you're encumbered with children, all these children and everything? It's gonna be tougher on you. For there shall be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people, and they shall fall by the edge of the swords of war and shall be led away captive into all nations. So this is the Lord's gonna scatter the Jews all over the globe and and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. So what is the times of the Gentiles? Brandon knows. Brandon knows. The times of the Gentiles. Right now. The times of the Gentiles is Jerusalem controlled by Gentiles. And not just Jerusalem, but the world, the global empire. Right now, the empire is America. Israel's not dominant over all of the other nations. There's a day coming where Israel will be dominant, where Jesus will rule and reign with the rod of righteousness in the times of the Gentiles, Gentile world rule. So the first Gentile world rule empire, the Babylonians, then we saw the the Persians, then we see the Greeks, then we see the Romans. The tribulation period is the rebirth of the Roman Empire. At the end of the tribulation period when Jesus returns, it's the end of the times of the Gentiles. Romans eleven twenty five is a different saying. Blindness in part has happened unto Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles. That speaks of the church age. Once the rapture happens, then it's the end of the church age. Then it starts the next epoch period of time, which is the time of Jacob's trouble, the seven year tribulation, the seventieth seven of Daniel. After that is the millennium, the 1,000 Revelation 20 rule and reign of Jesus. So until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. There shall be signs in the sun and the moon and the stars and urge the stress of nations. So now he's transitioning to the tribulation period here. So he went from the time of Titus surrounding the city destroying it, the Jews dispersed, then he's coming to the end of the times of the Gentiles, which is the end of the tribulation period and distress of nations with perplexity. That word perplexity means no way out. So man does not have a solution to the famine. He doesn't have a solution to the water. He doesn't have a solution to the the wars, the economy, all the different facets that make a society. The waves are gonna be we're seeing the waves roaring. Men's hearts failing them for fear, overwhelmed with fear, heart attacks, anxiety, for looking after those things which are coming on the earth for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. So it could very well be that meteorites. There's gonna be things in space that are coming toward earth. The men's hearts failing them because they have no way of stopping it. Bunch of movies been made by that. Right? Bunch of movies been made. Right? Right. In three days, we're gonna have a second moon for fifty six days. Woah. Two moons? Yeah. So we're gonna see the fake moon. No. I mean, it's gonna be an asteroid. It's an asteroid. They're calling it a a second moon because it's coming into our orbit. Unless the world's flat. I'll do a podcast on it. I'll talk about it next week. And then shall they see the son of man coming in a cloud of power and with great glory. You see that? With great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up and lift up your head for your redemption draws nigh. There's our hope. Right? That's our hope. And he spoke to them a parable, behold the fig tree. Okay. We're done there. So come back over here. So it's gonna happen again. It's gonna happen again. And we gotta be careful we don't lift up a false hope that we continue to hope in Jesus, the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great god and savior Jesus Christ. So visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, sayeth the Lord God. So Isaiah forty eight thirty 22 says, there's no peace what? In the wicked. That's it, Thomas. There's no peace under the wicked. And Jesus said, my peace I you. I leave with you. Not as the in this room. Not as the world give give unto you. In the world He shall have tribulation. But the Not the tribulation, not the, but tribulation in general. The reality is, Joel, we are not gonna have our best life now. In the world, you're gonna have tribulation. The word tribulation means pressure. There's gonna be pressure upon you. Right? But be of good cheer. Be of good cheer because why? And so it's not just a peace. It's my peace. So when you experience peace with God, then you experience the peace of God. Right? And so And I will be with you till the end of the age. To the end of the age. That's that's comforting, isn't it? So be anxious for nothing, but in everything through prayer and supplication with thanksgiving and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, it's incomprehensible, shall guard what? Your hearts and mind. Anybody ever been anxious? Fear? Overwhelmed with fear, anxiety? You got your gummies? Pull your gummies out. Alright. So pull your bible out. Study. Right? My gummies are probiotic. Alright. Butterfly kisses. So likewise, thou son set your face against the daughters of thy people who prophecy out of their own heart and prophecy thou against them. So watch this. He's gonna he's gonna say and say, thus saith the Lord God, woe to the women that sew amulets. Mine says pillows. Mine says pillows. And armholes. Oh, too bad. Too bad. Pillows and armholes. Amulets. Two arm Amulets. Small armholes. Can you say amulet? Amulet. So that's instead of a pillow? It's an amulet. It's pillows and armholes. You're right. Pillows and armholes. There you go. In the King James, pillows and armholes. What is a pillow and an armhole? They're wearing they're wearing these these occultic things upon them, upon their wrists. So they got these things on their wrists. Right? So we today, we would see tattoos. We'd see certain the devil star people wearing. Right? Something on their wrist and pillows and armholes. But they rep they represent the areas of idolatry. Okay? Occultic things. And make kerchiefs for their head and every person of stature to hunt souls. Will ye hunt the soul of my people, and will ye save the souls alive that come unto you? So these are witches. These are psychics. This is black magic. It's the occult. And and so he's saying watch out. Now typically, a lot of times when the church loses its leadership and they're wandering into, you know, apostasy, you'll see that a lot of women are raised up as prophetesses with prognostications and and followings and things like that. And so you got the Oprahs, you got the people, the Hillary's, the Jezebels. But on the other side, you could have in Exodus 15 verse 20, you could have Miriam. She's a prophetess. In Judges four, four, and five, you've got Deborah. She's a prophetess. In second Kings twenty two fourteen, you have one named Huldah, a prophetess. And then as we said earlier, in acts 21, we have the four prophetesses of Philip, the evangelist. And a wonderful thing, I have two daughters. I didn't get boys that I could make into linebackers and quarterbacks and play football. Cheerleaders. No? They can still play. They they can well, I mean, come on. Yeah. Okay. Really? I would. Alright. Well, in the day, they played soccer and they played basketball and they Volleyball. But what we did is we we they may not be able to be a pastor of a church, but they can certainly be prophetesses. Yeah. And they're an even more glorious calling. And I don't mean anything against women that are single and don't have a baby, but they could be mothers. Mamas. A mother. Do you know how important it is to be a mother and to be entrusted with the word of God, to pour the word of God as a prophetess into the children? Why do why does the church over the last hundred years think it's the public school's job to raise these kids? How how is that working for us? It's called lazy. So these are false prophetesses. Right? And and God's gonna say, want you to mark them. And so identify them, get rid of them. And will you pollute me among my people for my handfuls of barley and for the pieces of bread to slay the souls that should die and to save the souls alive that should not live by your by your lying and to my people that hear your your lies. So they're praying, p r e y, the praying mantis. They're praying upon God's people. God's God's people are vulnerable when you don't have true prophets, when you don't have truth. When you don't have churches that teach the Bible, the people, God's people become the prey of wolves, of false prophets, and prophetesses. I'm gonna tell you a book that a lot of people still continue to follow and think these books that come out and it's a false prophet. It's a false book. It's a false gospel. The Jesus Calling. Have all of them. I thought you were gonna say farmers all night. She has all of them. So tell us about it. What is it? She she projects what she thinks the Lord's telling her. Mhmm. And it's her from her heart Mhmm. Writing out, giving out, writing a book called the Jesus Calling. So a whole generation of women and men have been following this Jesus Calling. And Is that that Joy Lady or whatever? No. It's crazy. Sarah Young. Sarah Young. And Beth Moore contemplated prayer. A whole lot of, you know, thinking that they're hearing from God and leading all sorts of women and people, and Beth Moore wanted to be a you know, in the pulpit as a pastor and the the finding going on. And it doesn't mean that they don't teach some word, they don't know some of the word, but the emanate the emanation, what's coming out is from their hearts. Jesus told me, Jesus put in my heart and and then they write this and people follow that. But it says our hearts are deceitful. Right. But they've got new visions. They've got new direction. They've got new ideas. And men do it too. A lot of the men, a lot of the books that are written one of the ones I've never trusted, but boy, he's big. A lot of people like him, is Jonathan Cahn. Mhmm. And he's got the right last name, Cahn. But How about Perry Stone? I'm reading about Perry Yeah. I don't I don't I there's all daily bible study on Mount Sinai. It's just kind of like an insight to the day. So so everything's gotta be measured like a Berean. Any of them that bring anything out, we gotta bring them back to the word of God and test it by the word of God. Right? Mhmm. So Romans sixteen seventeen, somebody wanna read that? Romans sixteen seventeen. And somebody else read Ephesians five eleven. Romans sixteen seventeen. And you guys know the brands were more noble than those at Thessalonica because they searched the scriptures to see whether those things be so. Right? In Romans sixteen seventeen? That's it, buddy. Okay. Yeah. Romans sixteen seventeen. It both says, now I beseech you, brother, and then which came which caused divisions and offenses Contrary. Contrary to this doctrine to which he he who have been determined and oh, god. Bring bring my bigger bible. I suffer the same problem. Okay. And be sobering. Sorry about that. It's okay. I'll bring my bigger bible next time. I'll get a pair of reading glasses. Or magnifying glass. Okay. So I'm gonna read it. I'll read it. Romans sixteen seventeen. Basically, we're to mark those that cause division or teach contrary to what you've been taught. So you take a false prophet and you put a jacket on him. And it's kinda like a bike rider. They've got this big orange jacket, and everybody needs to be able to see the false prophet. So you take the false prophet, and rather than him blending in with everybody as a true prophet, we've gotta make sure that the sheep see the wolf. It's very difficult to get sheep to see a wolf. Now a shepherd, he can spot a wolf a mile off. Right? He's he's trained that way. When I've been in mixed groups and I have a heretic, a false dude there or a woman, I can spot it. Now I need to be careful because there's a very powerful component to the false shepherd, the false sheep, the wolf. Powerful component. Do you know what it is? Cathy knows what it is. Crying. Crying. Crying. As soon as you confront the wolf as a shepherd and you expose them with the word of God, they start crying. And the people in the room start crying. You're mean. I like him. He's a false prophet. He's deceiving you. He's preying upon you. He's working you. He looks in the room here and he looks for vulnerable men and women, single women, women that just having gone through a divorce, vulnerabilities. And he walks up to him and he says, God told me about you. I've been praying for you and God gave me a vision of you. And so he's looking for a way in, a way of of connection, emotional sympathetic connection. And I might even use a verse of the scripture in such a way to try and gain your trust. But ultimately, now I beseech you, brethren, mark them who cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which you have learned and avoid them. So they need to be marked. They need to be dealt with. They're wolves. They're infiltrating. So when Paul's in Acts chapter 20 and he spent three years establishing the church in Ephesus, when he's leaving, he's gonna talk to the pastors. He has a meeting on the Island Of Melita with the elders, which means pastors. And he lets them know that for three that he's innocent of their blood. And he takes that from Ezekiel 33 and Ezekiel three that he's been a watchman and he's given them that church there the full council of God. Night and day with tears. I've been teaching the word of God for three years. But now that I'm leaving, you guys, you pastors take heed. You you take heed over this flock which is our blood bought, which Jesus purchased with his own blood. So that's the seriousness. These sheep belong to the Lord. He purchased them with his blood. No. So beware because there's going to be wolves that come in, false prophets from without and some from within. They're already here. They're already here. And you guys are the ones that need to watch over the sheep and and protect them. So this Saturday when we were at the men's thing, men's and women's thing, David men and women, the conference, David Rosales, pastor David Rosales, he had heart trouble. He was very vulnerable. And as a result of going through high blood pressure and various medical procedures and all, something he'd never gone through before. And and the meds and a lot of those he didn't say this, but the meds, I've watched people go through this, and a lot of times their emotions go up and down with various reaction to the meds the doctors are given and trying to balance things, get things back going again. He had an assistant pastor that began to bring all the negative things to him right before he'd go teach all the problems of the church at that point right there. So that stirred David up. Right? And then Marie, David's wife, recognized what this man was doing. He was he was wanting the church. He was wanting David to give up, wanting David to be overwhelmed by the load of the problems. And rather than dealing with the problems and shielding David and Aaron and Hur, one on the left hand, one on the right hand of Moses lifting his arms up through prayer, he wanted to burden him, put a huge burden upon him. And Marie sounds like Kathy. She'd been around long enough to know what this guy was doing, and so he's exposed as a wolf. He's exposed to self seeking. And so mark them. Mark them. Don't let them do that. And the other thing is that causing division has to do with these sex, these heresies are necessary because this false doctrine manifests those that are approved. People that follow false doctrine, people that attend churches that don't teach the word, they're being deceived, but they're willingly being deceived. They love it so. You know that the false prophets and the false teaching in Kitsap County would cease if the people wouldn't write checks? If support they them? And the reason they proliferate and they're just going gangbusters is because the people love it so. And the pastors give the people what they want, which is a watered down gospel, which is easy believism, which is no prophecy, no preparing for the return of the Lord. So who had Ephesians five eleven? Here. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. Good. And so we expose them. So that's part of what we do. We're not silent about things that are evil. We expose the evil so that the sheep can see. When I was on my bus trip and I had a guy there that was causing me trouble, and I had to confront him and he was denying the deity of Christ. Now that's that's that's right down the middle. That's essential. Any pastor that doesn't help the sheep understand when a guy's denying the deity of Christ, he's not a shepherd. Yeah. And this guy was saying that Jesus was the son of God, but not God. And that I had 70 people on the bus. I think it was 70. And there was a woman on there that was causing me a lot of trouble. And the guide, Rami, he was causing me trouble with that with that false teaching. And when pastor Chuck would teach, he'd come back on and he'd correct pastor Chuck to everybody on the bus that your pastor's mistaken. So I'm the bus pastor, and this happened in my bus, of course, bus number seven. This always happens to me. Couldn't be on somebody else's bus. And so I began to take the microphone and go through John one, Colossians one, Hebrews one, Revelation one, improve the deity of Christ. Well, half the people on the bus are cheering because they're believers. And they're thankful that I did that because they're grieved in their spirit. And the other half are ready ready to tar and feather me because I was mean. I was mean. And one woman on the bus as I'm talking, she gets up out of her seat and she's screaming into the microphone, stop it. Stop it. Stop it. You're offending me. You're offending me. What? Yeah. Yeah. And and I had to click the mic off and I'm just like bewildered like you can't believe I I just can't believe what just happened. And that was my initiation of what it's gonna be like when you're in a group of people. So what happens is you you have to have your authority established. I was simply a bus pastor, a school of ministry student, and not a pastor yet. This lady, when she came onto the bus, she was from a different church, her and her daughter, they said, where are you pastor at? And I said, I'm not. I'm a wannabe. Immediately, she took over that bus. It was her bus. And her assistant pastor was on that bus, but he didn't have the guts to stop her. Had the senior pastor been there later, he said, your pastor did the right I did the right thing because had I not corrected that, then it would have proven I didn't have a shepherd's heart. And were they trying to do? What They were allowing the guide to present Jesus as the son of God but not God. It was a denial of the deity of Christ. So I had to establish the deity of Christ for the group so they wouldn't be confused about because what he was saying. So you have to so alright. So here here we go to Galatians one. Galatians one. The apostle Paul is teaching speaking of the church of Galatia and they're falling for a false gospel. He's given them the gospel, but now they're falling for a false gospel. And he says in verse six, I marvel that you so soon removed from him that called you in the grace of Christ unto another gospel. There's only one gospel. And these guys these guys are falling for a different gospel from a false prophet, which is not another, but there are some that trouble you and would pervert the gospel of Christ. So there there's a distortion here. They're bringing about a legalism, a gnosticism, mixing it with the true. But though we are an angel from heaven, so he's saying, even if we come back around or even an angel, the angel Moroni with special glasses on tells Joseph Smith a different gospel. He says, preach any other gospel unto you than that which you have preached unto you, let him be accursed. So there's a a curse. Let that person be accursed. This is serious. As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach another gospel unto you than that you have received, let him be accursed. Says it twice. This is serious. And so all everything you hear, whoever comes has to be measured by the true gospel that we've given you, that we've delivered to you. For do I seek the favor of men or of God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I yet please men, I should not be the servant of Christ. And that's why the true pastors, the true prophets so often are hated by so many people because they're not men pleasers. They seek to please God. And so Paul's saying if if I'm not here to please God, then I'm not really a servant of God. But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not after man. It's not to please man. For I neither received it of man, neither was taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. And so he goes on to describe how he received this gospel. Alright. So back to where we're at. We'll finish up. Ezekiel 13. Alright. So verse 19. And will pollute among my people for the handfuls of barley. So they're they're getting handfuls of barley, which is the poor man's food, so these people are making money, and just handfuls of barley to try and pollute my people, and for pieces of bread to slay the souls that should not die and save the souls alive which should live by your lying. So they're preying upon the fears of the people that hear your lies. So they're creating all sorts of fears and preying upon those fears, and then they come with a false way to calm people down, which would be, don't worry about prophecy. Everything's gonna continue as it always has. America's gonna continue. These rapture guys and all this stuff, the tribulation period, that's bogus. That all happened in seventy AD. And do you know that one of the larger churches in our community when we taught the book of Revelation, they taught the book of Revelation for the first time, but they taught it historical. They taught it from a Catholic standpoint that it already happened in seventy AD. They didn't teach it as prophetic. What? Okay? And that's common. And there's a replacement theology also that don't worry about Israel. The church has replaced Israel. It's a preterist false doctrine, but it's very prevalent in the majority of the churches today. And so it calms people down. Calms them down, gives them a false sense of security. So wherefore, thus saith the Lord God, behold, I am against your amulets which he, hunted the souls of them which fly, and I will tear, them from your arms and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make, by them. So people are gonna be set free. Your kerchiefs also I will tear and deliver my people out of your so they've had a whole line of merchandise, a whole line of things that people wear with a false religion that they're presenting, the occultic aspects of it. And it can be emerging. It can be, you know, bringing it together. We call it Christianizing the world. Take the world and you Christianize it. Try to so your kerchiefs which also I tear and deliver my people out of your hand and you should be no more in your hand to be hunted and you shall know that I am the Lord. Because with lies, you have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad and strengthened the hands of the wicked that you should not return from his his wickedness by promising him life. So here's your false gospel. This is what's happening today. You don't comfort those that are believers in me, but the wicked, you give them comfort, a false sense of hope with a false gospel. There's no compelling people to return to Christ. There's no repentance. There's no sin. You just you know, it's like Burger King. You make it your way. Do it your way. Therefore, you shall see no more vanity nor divine divinations for I will deliver my people out of your hand and ye shall know that I am the Lord. And so turn to Deuteronomy chapter 18. So the best way to counteract this is a Bible study. The best way to counteract all these lies, all this stuff is read the Bible. I would like to study. What I'm saying, you are here. You're already studying. This is what counteracts it. Attending the church that teaches the Bible counteracts the false teaching that's trying to get ahold of you. I missed one Sunday. I know. I've I've I'm it's gonna take a lot to make up for that. I don't know. You I'm never gonna get again. Are you any good at cooking? Is there something you could bring? I made peanut butter cookies today. I'm gonna make some I I wrapped meatballs. You're on the you're on you're on track now. You're on your way. You're on your way. Thus saith the lord. That's the voice that's the voice of god right there. That's right there. Ring. Apple apple wood smoke. Hey. You're almost in my graces. Okay. Alright. And I was thinking about putting cheese in the middle. That would be rock star. That yeah. I'm I'm I'm thinking of ordering a chocolate lasagna. You know what mean? That's the way you do it. Verse nine. 18 verse nine. Deuteronomy 18 verse nine. Now I want you to I want you to think about the YouTube prophets. I want you to think about all the scam books, the scam prognosticators that are telling you, I think, I think, I think. And remember the beginning of the chapter, they're speaking from their heart. Okay? Now watch this. When you are come into the land which Lord thy God shall give thee and thou shalt learn to do after the abominations of those nations. So these nations have abominations. They have paganism, false religious systems. There shall not be found among you any one of you that makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire. Manasseh caused his son to pass through the fire. This is Baalism. This is worshiping gods of pleasure. And so what they do is they had an abortion system, the murdering of children, where part of their belief system was orgies. There would be priestesses and people that would give their bodies to other people, and there would be what's called unwanted pregnancies. Right? Women getting pregnant as part of their religious service. Okay? And so these children, we put on the arms of Belle. They would heat his arms up red hot, then they would take these little babies and set them on the arms of Baal. And then everyone would shriek and make a lot of noise so they couldn't hear the screams of the children. God's saying that never entered into my mind to do that. That's not something I would ever condone or ask for you to do. Instead, I'm gonna send my son to be crucified on the cross of Calvary for you. I don't need you in an act of worship to offer your children unto me. I'm not asking for any human sacrifices. Okay? And I hope I hope that gets through. Divination or observed times and enchantments or witches or a charmer or a counselor of mediums or a wizard or a necromancer. We cover it all? God's saying that's not a part of me. That's not who I am. That's the alcohol. That's what Adolf Hitler and all the Nazis wanted. They wanted to find some sort of power, you know, to be able to utilize. For all that do these things are an abomination under the Lord, and because of these abominations, the Lord thy God does drive them out from before thee. So the Lord says, you know what? I can't allow you to coexist with these people. I gotta use the sword of war to annihilate these people, get rid of away from you, or they're gonna permeate and pollute you. Yeah. So he says, I'm gonna get rid of them. Thou shall be perfect with the Lord thy God. So you're gonna be mature. You're gonna be you're gonna give yourself totally to me, not part of yourself to me, and then the rest of these guys because he's a jealous God. For these nations whom thou shall possess hearkened unto observers in times and unto diviners, but as for thee, the Lord thy God has not permitted this to do. So now you look at Romans one, you think in terms of they're all without excuse because from creation, they should be seeking the true living God by the revelation of creation. Okay? And and if they don't, if they follow and they worship and serve the creature rather than the creator, and they start to make idols out of all these different things, you know, it could be a calf, golden calf. That's false deity. So Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a prophet from the midst of thee, a Moses, right, of thy brethren like unto me and unto him shall ye hearken. So who do men say that I am? Some say you're Jeremiah. Some say you're that prophet that Moses is talking about right here. So God's been using Moses as a mouthpiece to teach the people. God's gonna raise up another prophet Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ. Right? Amen. Raise up Jesus. According to all that thou desired of the Lord thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly saying, let me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God, neither let me see this great fire anymore that I die not. And so they were afraid when the when the law was given at Mount Horeb. And Moses brought the 10 commandments down, the tablets of stone. And the Lord said unto me, they have well spoken that which they have spoken. I'll raise up them a prophet among their brethren like unto thee like unto thee and will put my words into his mouth and he shall speak unto them all that I shall, command him. And it shall come to pass that whosoever will not hearken unto my words, which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. And then he says, but the prophet who shall presume presumptuous to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak or who shall speak in the name of the little g gods even that prophet shall die. And if thou say in thine heart, how shall we know the word which the Lord God has not spoken? When a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, so speaking in the first person, thus saith the Lord, God told me. Right? When a guy does that, if the thing follow not nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken, but the prophet has spoken presumptuously, thou shall not be afraid of him. So the Lord's saying there's gonna be people come along and prognosticate and tell things, and if they don't come to pass, they're a false prophet. So Jeremiah, Isaiah, Ezekiel, the things that the Lord's been given them, they come to pass. It keeps happening. It got it comes true. So that's how you know the true prophets of God is that it's the word of God. Alright. Well, let's pray. Father, we come before you. Thank you for tonight. Thank you for the time that we could spend together in your word. And Lord, help us. Keep us on that straight and narrow path that we not be deceived. Lord, you say in John eight that we'll know the truth, the truth will set us free. And so we wanna be students of truth, students of your word at your disciples, and we pray, Lord, again that you lead and guide us into all truth. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
