Live from Bremerton. It's cookie night. No. It's it's a bible study at the Weidertsys, and so we're just so thankful. If you don't wanna study the bible, just go to YouTube. YouTube's got all the answers. So we're gonna worship the lord now, and let's pray. Father, we thank you so much for your word. Thank you for the fellowship, the home, the we can evangelize. We can study your word. We can break bread together. Lord, as in acts two forty two, the early church, Lord, we can be a church. And we thank you for that, the the the blessing of gathering together in your name. And we commit this night into your hands, heavenly father, and we pray that you would bless, that you'd anoint the time as we worship you, as we study word, as we continue to pray for one another. We lift up, Sean and and Shannon and the family who are sick and have have fevers, Lord. Anybody else that's sick, we pray healing touch upon their their bodies tonight. Pray that none of us none nobody else get it from them, including my grandkids. And and just bless, we pray. In Jesus' name, amen. Amen. Praise the lord. Amen. Praise the lord. Here you go. Alright. Thanks. You got a long chapter. Is that right? We could watch YouTube. No. Negative. Okay. Alright. Negative. Amen to that. So let's see here. As we as we're looking at the prophetic picture, the birth banks are increasing more and more. And so I wanna take a moment for you to tell me some prophecies in this past week since we met that that you've been made aware of of things that are aligning lining up. Anybody? Anything getting closer? Anything getting clear with greater clarity? How close are we getting closer to a digital system? Oh, yeah. On it. A digital system? What about Gaza? Anything on Gaza? Anything? I question that. Why is he gonna take over Gaza? Okay. What what are we doing? That doesn't seem to fit in with everything, but I guess it does. So did any of you watch JD Frog last night, yesterday? He did, like, seven reasons why it's speeding up the tachometer. You know? Getting closer and closer. So one of the things he said I didn't see, but a lot of the pastors nowadays are doing what they call they have a team that looks at the news, and then they will look at the articles and tie it into the, you know, the bible. So anyway, Pete Hegzes, is that the defense the secretary of defense? So anyway, JD showed him yesterday. You could watch the video. And I promise you, there's nothing unclean. But but he's he's suggesting that we help Israel rebuild their temple. Isn't that fascinating? How how quick that come around? You know? I heard that before. Actually, before he got in Okay. Read an article where it said some of the stuff he believed that was along those lines. Along those lines. Yep. Mhmm. So, I mean, that's interesting. It's it's, you know, been presented. Mhmm. And and Gaza, you know, Trump says nobody will want we'll own it. You know? And and what do you think all that's about? I saw today where the Dutch are signing the petition that they wanna buy California. Ain't that funny? Wow. You know? Yeah. Because we wanted to we want Greenland. Right? Yeah. So any of any of this stuff that's going on kinda exciting for you, prophetically? I I saw an article or Justin Trudeau was on a hot mic saying that the fifty first making Canada the fifty first state could be a real thing. Oh, wow. Praise the lord. That was That is interesting. You never know what Trump's saying. Like, it could be real. I know. It's like he throws it out there. Alright. Let's see if this sticks. You know? But yeah. That and and Mexico. Right? The Gulf Of America in Mexico. Yeah. And that makes perfect sense for the North American Union. Club of Rome already has a map, you know, the world divided in these 10 regions. They are gonna stop making pennies because it costs almost 3ยข to make a $1.01 penny. Wow. And so is this a move closer to digital central bank? Oh, yeah. Start getting rid of the coinage and all the Absolutely. I I was just yeah. Yeah. I they intend that. Try buying something with pennies. Yeah. Yeah. I've got a big I've got a big bottle of pennies and coins and stuff, you know. Better cash for men. Yeah. I know that it's it's it's it's like boundaries are moving. Boundaries are that that the thought of moving boundaries or changing boundaries. Boundaries that have been set for for years Mhmm. Are are being moved. Of just being changed. Talked about. Freely talked about. Now, I watched Catherine Austin Fitz today and she she's in the area of finance, and she made the distinction. She made it real clear to the guy, are they coming out with a digital currency? And she says, no. No digital currency. And she says, it's a digital, like, a reset. So you're not gonna have a it's not a currency. It's like you owe taxes, they just take it out. They just take it out of your bank account. It's all digital, but it's your bank account. Mhmm. So they might present it as your digital wallet or whatever, but we think of currency like the pennies or the dollar or whatever. There won't be any currency. They'll go through Bitcoin. All that stuff will be gone. It'll be a digital system that your banking and everything you have, all your assets will be in there, and they'll have complete control on you. So you give up your freedom, and then and that's what they want more than anything else. So we're in the midst of the reset right now. Trump's selling it, and they just need the right kind of things to happen to push it, you know, to where people accept it. They're wanting to see if people will accept it. You know? Public private public partnership. Right. And Elon Musk is talking today about the digital wallet. Yeah. And so, yeah, they're all they're all moving that direction. So and then once that happens, your social credit score, everything you do, they can control everything. So I saw one thing. He said, don't be like the Canadian truckers. Remember that one? They tried to protest, and then the government just shut down their bank accounts, their insurance, and everything. Just shut it right out. So the technology's already there. So anything else? Anything with Israel? Jim told me that what was it Netanyahu gave Trump as a gift? Yeah. He gave him a nice piece of wood that was fancy with a golden pager attached to it. And he gave him a real pager. And that one guy reminded me, look what happened to Hamas when they got their pagers and their phones all blew up. So this guy was saying, is that a failed threat or something? Of course, again, it could be just, you know but, I mean, it makes you wonder, like, why would he give him a golden pager? We're way past pagers, aren't we? Yeah. It's recognition for us helping them come up with the technology to give us pagers. There you go. Good job. Thank you. You know, like, it could go that way for sure. Yeah. I agree. It was just kinda weird. Alright. So any anything else before we jump in? Anything you've been learning? We wanna study prophecy. 27% of the Bible's prophecy, and we're watching we're watching the birth pangs increase. And it's exciting. Just very exciting to see a one world government, a one world monetary system, and a one world religious system. Basically, JD said centralization of everything. The centralization of everything. So central control. Alright. Ezekiel 32, and let's pray. Father, help us, Lord, as we study your word. Give us ears to hear and hearts to apply these truths. And, Lord, we thank you that you're a teacher, and we pray that we'd stay right on track, Lord, walking that straight and narrow path. And, Lord, we pray that it bear fruit in our lives in that, Lord, faith comes by hearing, hearing by the word of God, and that, Lord, we would be those who react to things in faith, trusting you, putting our casting all our cares upon you for you care for us, Lord, that we wouldn't succumb to anxiety and worry and and despair as circumstances change in the days and weeks ahead. But, Lord, our life is built upon the rock. And when the storms come, Lord, we know that we're we have a sure foundation that's not gonna fall away. So bless, Lord, we pray tonight in Jesus' name, amen. Amen. Alright. Chapter 32. And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the lord came unto me saying so this is March third five eighty five BC. Son of man, take up a lamentation for pharaoh king of Egypt and say unto him, thou art like a young lion of the nations and thou art like a a monster in the seas and thou came forth with with thy rivers and troubled the waters with thy feet and fouled their their rivers. And so you've been a person that you know, as as a man, you're like a young lion, but as a as a leader, you've been a monster, and you create chaos. There's chaos that's always happening around you, and a destabilization takes place as a result of your leadership and and the way that you resist the true and living god. So thus saith the lord god, I will I will therefore spread out my net over thee, and so it's it's god that's gonna do this. It's not the Babylonians at this point. God's gonna gonna catch him in a in a in a net, in a trap. So thus saith the Lord God, I will therefore spread out my net over thee with the company of many people and they shall bring thee up in my net. So basically, a trap's gonna be set to catch a crocodile. And then will I leave thee upon the land. So the vulnerability of a crocodile out of the water and then brought, you know, onto a dry ground. And and I will cast thee forth upon the open field. It will cause all the fowls of heaven to remain upon thee and I'll fill the beasts of the whole earth with thee. So all the beasts and all the fowl, all the animals, people are gonna feast upon pharaoh. And if he's in the water, he'd have a better chance of defending himself as a crocodile. But on the land, he's kind of out of his element. And especially if the lord wounds him in some way that he can't, you know, defend himself. So there's a vulnerability that's gonna take place. And I'll lay thy flesh upon the mountains and fill the valleys, with your with your height. So I'm gonna scatter you. I'm gonna scatter you all over the place. And and I'll also water with thy blood, so I'm gonna defile you. And so you remember in Exodus seven twenty through 24, this was the first plague, the water turning to blood. And so I will water I will also water with your blood the land in which thou swimmest, even to the mountains and to the rivers shall be full of thee. And so and when I shall put thee out, I will cover the cover the heavens and make its stars dark. I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the dark moon shall not give its light. So God's gonna cause a solar eclipse, to take place. So you've been a star, and I'm gonna blacken you. Your your light is going to be snuffed out that of Egypt and that of you individually, you know, as pharaohs. So you can experience darkness once again, another plague that was darkness over the land. And and I'm not sure if you can do that with a flat earth, but okay. And all the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee and set darkness upon thy land, saith the lord god. Exodus ten twenty one through 29, this is the ninth plague and, the darkness that covered the land. In the beginning, god created the heaven and the earth, and the earth was up form and void. And god said, let their light be. And so light is different than the sun giving off light. Light is distinct. Darkness is distinct. And I've I've never been in thick darkness, but some people talk about being like in cavern, a cave, a deep deep within a cave, and the darkness can be almost a solid. Like, you can feel the darkness around you. I like being a child of light. I like walking in the light. I don't like horror movies. I don't like inviting darkness into my life, spiritual darkness. I flee from it. I I agree I'm afraid of it, and I don't like no part of it. If I get anywhere near it, I get bad bad nightmares. So I'm thankful that the Lord protects me with his light. Right? I wanna walk in the light. And and I'll also vex the hearts of many people when they shall bring thy destruction among the nations into the countries which thou has not known. So a lot of smaller countries, a lot of people dependent upon you, dependent upon your economy, dependent upon your military. And now that you're gone, it leaves a huge void. And so who's gonna come after us next? You know? If you're not there, it leaves a huge vacuum, a huge void. So if America were to be taken off the off the off, you know, off the playing field, what would fill that void? What how would the world fill the void of all the military bases we have all over the world and the way our our navy and everybody tries to police and protect everything, the food production, all the different things that we do. Money that we give away, we're finding out we give away a lot of money. And and so what would that void look like? Who would who would step up and and fill that? That's kind of the the anxiety that they're experiencing. So if we're headed toward, as Claus Schwab said, the fourth industrial revolution and the great reset is taking place, which we know is the beast system. America is gonna go down. And when America goes down, the bible describes that there'll be the rebirth of the Roman empire. Empirical, but a one world governmental system that's gonna fill the void that America and any other superpowers that want that were once were. There's there's not gonna be per se just one superpower. This this rebirth of the Roman Empire is gonna be the superpower that encompasses the entire globe. With 10 kings, maybe 10 technocrats, and three of them fight against the antichrist, and they they lose, and then the antichrist becomes the eighth one. And all of the kings give their sovereignty over to the antichrist. And that's a short lived desire of utopia where the lie that's propagated is that you can be gods. The same lie that the devil tried to sell in the garden of Eden to Adam and Eve. And you will be as gods. And so and because they reject the truth, second Thessalonians two says, God's gonna give them over to a strong delusion. And I think it's already happening, that strong delusion. The the insanity, the inability for people to think, especially biblically, is mind blowing to me. And I'm just so thankful for YouTube that I can go there with all the AI intelligence, and I can find my answers on YouTube through AI. And I'm really excited. And Vicky, I told Vicky tonight that, you know, Vicky, if you make cupcakes for Jim here, I don't know if you're gonna make them right because you've only made them for thirty years. And I went on YouTube and I saw the way they're supposed to be made, and I've never made them, but YouTube told me, you know. And that's the kind of idiocy we're getting in the church. Everybody's an authority on everything, you know. And especially people that have never ever ever written a sermon or taught a home bible study or taught in Sunday school. It's just everybody's an expert now and it's mind boggling. Alright. So you be a Berean. And the next week, when we're in chapter 33, I want you to read ahead because here's another fallacy that we're hearing. We try to alert people to things that are happening. We try to alert them to prophecies that are being fulfilled. And and the reason is is because we want people to be excited about the soon return of Jesus, that things are aligning up that point to the 77 of Daniel, the time of Jacob's trouble, the tribulation period. And when we see these things begin to come to pass, Jesus said, look up for your redemption draws nigh. And he also said, pray always that you'd be able to escape these things because I'm I'm not a martyr. I don't I don't wanna be in the tribulation period just to show people how tough I am. You know? So, yeah, I would like to escape the tribulation period. You know? And I'd like to be with Jesus. So so pray always to be able to escape these things and stand before the son of man. So here's what happens. When I first started alerting people to things, people get indignant and say, you're not allowed to talk about politics. You're not allowed to talk about that. You're not a doctor. You know? Who do you think you are? Then I started wearing a doctor smog so they they would know that I am a doctor. And, yeah, that helped a lot. But but in any event, next week, they talk about the responsibility that you and I have as watchmen on the wall. And it's the same passage that Paul used in Acts 20. So here's what they say to me. Just just stay with the gospel. And I say, what do you mean? Like, John three sixteen? You want me to keep preaching John three sixteen every Sunday? You want to be evangelical and they never grow up? You don't want you don't want me to do prophecy? Yeah. Just stay with the gospel. Well, next week, God's gonna say their blood's on your hands if you don't warn them. Mhmm. You you need to warn people. You need to warn them. You know? You need you need to let them know that they're gonna perish. You you can't make them feel comfortable in a church as professing believers, but as as Titus says, works, they deny him. Their lifestyles there's no change in their lifestyle. But they profess that they know him because they left repentance out. They left sin out because they didn't wanna offend him. You know? So next week's gonna be fun in that way. And I just the next 20 where Paul says, I'm innocent in the blood of all of you for the space of three years, night and day with tears, you know. I gave the full counsel of God. How many of you have attended bible studies going through the old testament through the book of Ezekiel? Jeremiah, Isaiah. Yeah? When? Here. Okay. Before that. Before that. Before that. Here. It doesn't happen in Kitsap County. Doesn't happen. Except with Kevin Lee's church. Pastor Kevin, he's the same way. But people are ignorant of the old testament. I mean, even Andy Stanley said, you know, we don't even need the law. We don't need the old testament. Right? We got a new testament revelation. And but I've I've discovered that the old fits in with the new and the new with the old. And it's very exciting to see the cohesiveness. And and one of the things about premillennial dispensationalism, that type of theology is harmony. The harmony of how Daniel and the entire bible fits. And it's not just an isolated thing, you know, say the rapture. There's a there's a harmony of teaching pertaining to a pre trib rapture and toward the millennium that Jesus is gonna rule and reign for a thousand years. So if I were to take chapter 20 out of the bible, book of revelation, and say, hey, we're already in the millennium or a preterist view, you know, it's already happened in seventy AD, I've got a whole lot of scripture here in the old testament that I've gotta do something with. What am I gonna do with it? What am I gonna do with all these promises God's given to the nation of Israel that he'd regather them and put them in the land? And not only that, but, you know, they'd have their kingdom age where where he would rule as messiah, you know, and we see in Revelation 20 for a thousand years, you know. Even Adolf Hitler knew that verse. He wanted his third Reich. He wanted to reign for a thousand years, you know. So and others, you know, throughout history have have known of the kingdom age and not the not the kingdom age where man's at the center. Man's going to usher in the kingdom through the new apostolic reformation. So such a such a hodgepodge of heresy that's in the church today. And with the AI coming, it's gonna be even harder. It's gonna be harder and harder to to keep people on track. And so I'm not afraid to be a pastor of a very small church because broad is the way that leads to destruction. Many go in there at narrow is the way that leads to eternal life, and few, very, very few are on that narrow path. So it's gonna be harder and harder. Our job is gonna be more and more difficult. Pastor Chuck used to say that a person that's looking for answers, that's looking for the truth, there there are answers for what they're looking for. If they really want the truth, there are answers. And you can spend the time in discipleship trying to help them discover those answers in God's word. But a person that's basically already had their mind made up, a person that's only looking for an argument, you don't have time for them. You just brush your feet off and all they want is an argument. They've made their mind up. So I'm gonna refer them to YouTube. I'm just gonna say, hey, go to YouTube. You know? There might be a new video for you this week. You know? I don't have time for you. So they're a plague. So I'll also vex the hearts of many people when I shall bring thy destruction among the nations into the countries which thou has known has not known. Yeah. I will make many people appalled at thee and their king shall be horribly afraid for thee when I shall brandish my sword before them and they shall tremble at every moment and every man for his own life in the day of my fall in the day of thy fall. So this is also a message to the rebels. The other rebels out there, rebellion is kinda cute and funny and you're a radical, and Sololinsky writes his book, Rules for Radicals, and he dedicates it to to Lucifer, to the devil, the first rebel in Isaiah 14 when he rebelled against God with a third of the angels. And they think it's so cute and funny, the progressives, the liberals, and and Obama and William Ayers and Dorn and the Clintons and all, they all become these radicals that wanna take down America. And and so they've got this way of overloading the system. They got a way to break down the constitution and just bring everything to a place of chaos and ruin. And and that's their objective is to destroy with a with a view toward communism, with a view toward a centralized government, you know, for everybody, and they think they're the ones to be at the top and everybody down below. And because they're not judged immediately, they have a false sense of security. But when one of them goes down, word's gonna get around to the rest of them. And what do you think they're gonna do? They're gonna go into their bunkers? They're gonna get on their airplanes. They're gonna fly somewhere to try and hide from the wrath of the Trump. You know? They're gonna try and whoever. I don't know who it is, but the wrath of the lamb. Once the Lord starts to judge, dominoes start to fall, you know, all it takes is one. All it takes is one of those globalists to be prosecuted publicly and fear will spread to the rest of them. But they're a club, aren't they? They're a club. And with their club, they they have a false sense of security. But there's a new sheriff coming, and that's Jesus. And there's a day of judgment that's coming. And and when when he starts to judge in Revelation chapter six, they're so afraid of his wrath being poured out, the whole ground starts to tremble, the earthquake. And as they're in their underground bunkers, all that food that they said they have to recall, last week they recalled donuts. Yeah. They recalled donuts. Right? Coffee and donuts. We don't have enough coffee and donuts in our bunker. We better recall donuts. You know? Right, George? Yeah. And cookies? Oh, they aren't getting mine. They aren't getting my cookies. But they're not getting mine. But all the eggs, you know, the the the meat, all the food that they're stocked, even water, drinking water. All the water went bad. So what what are they planning? What do they know that we don't know? Well, the bible says that Revelation six that God's gonna cause a huge earthquake, everything would be rattling, and they're gonna try and hide from the face of the wrath of the lamb, right, of Jesus. And they're they're gonna be like Belteshazzar. Their knees are gonna buckle and and hit each other. They're gonna lose themselves. And and the bible says the fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom. The fear of the lord is the beginning of knowledge. So it's healthy to have a reverence and an awe toward a just and a holy god. It's unhealthy to blaspheme him and to point your finger at him and your fist at him and shake your fist in rebellion unto him. It's appointed to all men once to die. All of them are gonna die. The only way they could avoid judgment is if they could live forever, but the Lord's saying, nope. You're all you're all gonna die. And so then they try to come up with false theories to assage people's minds and deceive people from the gospel. So they'll say, well, you know, there's there really is no God. And if there's no God, then I'll never be judged for my actions. And and if there is a God, he's a loving God. He would never send somebody to hell. You know? Loving God wouldn't do that. And not only that, but there is no hell. There's no hell. When we die, what happens? You just cease to exist. The good people go to heaven. They're watching every time you do a funeral, they're all good people and they're all watching down from heaven. You know? There's never anybody that's that's a bad person going to hell. Nobody likes to admit that at a funeral, and it's a great place to share the gospel. It's a great wonderful place, man. That's when you seem shaken and especially if it's a funeral of, you know, a bunch of unbelievers around. And what I've noticed at funerals, when I do funerals, I like doing funerals more than I do weddings. At funerals, it's like a call to reality. It's reality. It's undeniable. Your denial, your your fantasy, all of a sudden, the reality hits that, oh, man. Am I prepared? Is my house in order? What am I gonna say to god when I see him? You know? And and typically what happens is people are very, very uncomfortable at the funeral, and then they gotta get to the bar as fast as they can. They just gotta start drinking to because they just can't take the reality. You know? They gotta find a way to escape. So now this this trembling. People like to talk about how, oh, believe. I believe. I believe. I believe in Jesus. Everybody believes in Jesus. I believe in heaven. Nobody believes in hell. Nobody believes in the devil. Right? Why would I believe in the devil? And and we know there are people that do in their rebellion. But James two nineteen. James two nineteen. You say there is one God, you do well. The demons also believe and tremble. I love that. So your profession of faith, you remember when Jesus was going to the two at Gadara and they're speaking through the guys and the demons are saying, we know who you are Jesus. Right? You know, the just one in another place. Just one just person, just him. You're the messiah. You're God. And then they know their destiny. They not only know him, but they know their destiny. Have you come to torment us before our time? Right? And yet people like to live delusional lifestyles with deceit, not preparing for eternity, and and they don't tremble. They're bold. They're arrogant. They're proud. They scoff. And, you know, they said that Voltaire boasted that in his lifetime he's a French philosopher, and he was an atheist, a renowned atheist in France. And he was boasting that in his lifetime he would destroy Christianity. And he put his whole heart into it. Freud and Reud, Sigmund Freud, he hated God, hated Christianity. And when he came up with his psychological theory, psychobabble, and he came over from England to America and all, his objective was to destroy, you know, the church. And and that's what these false philosophies are designed to do. And so Voltaire, trouble with being an atheist is one day you get sick. You get old and you get sick, and then you've gotta you're relegated to your bed. And then when you're in bed, you've got a Christian nurse, and the Christian nurse is there and she witnesses your torment, absolute torment. And it's so violent, so Anton LaVey in San Francisco, all of them, when they die, these atheists, it's not pretty. And some think that as they're still alive right before they die, you know, they're seeing demons because they've been delving and playing around with demons their whole lives. And they they begin to tremble. They begin to shriek and scream and all. And then in contrast to that, a Christian, for us it's just moving. We're just we don't fear death. We ask for the bodies to be present with the Lord and there's a great peace in the room and we're singing songs and we're worshiping and we just move on to that body that can't service us anymore. There's no trembling. There's no fear. There's no crying in the sense of I'm afraid of what's gonna happen. There's tears in the sense of we're gonna miss our loved ones. And so we sorrow, but we don't sorrow as those who have no hope. We have the hope of the resurrection. And and it's just it's the peace that surpasses all understanding, guards our hearts and minds, and we recognize that our loved one, that that body's grossly inadequate to house that person inside there. That the Lord's awaiting them with a brand new body, you know. And the wicked dead, not so. The wicked dead are gonna be tormented for all eternity. And so better to tremble now and have a reverential awe and a fear of God which is the beginning of wisdom and and knowledge that you could make a right decision concerning your eternity. And so a message to the other rebels. Let's look at some verses that speak of how healthy it is to tremble. Who wants Psalm ninety nine one? Okay. Psalm one fourteen seven. I got it. I love this one. This is this is great. Isaiah fourteen fifteen and sixteen. I'll do it. Alright. Isaiah sixty four two. Sixty four two? Yep. Isaiah sixty six five. Jeremiah five twenty two. That's enough. Anybody else want one? I got lots of them. Okay. Jeremiah ten ten. Ten ten? Yep. Okay. Psalm ninety nine one. The lord breatheth, let the people tremble. He sitteth between the cherubims. Let the earth be moved. Okay. So if an angel, a holy angel, all of a sudden came into this room here, what do you think our reaction would be based upon other people we've seen in the bible who've encountered a holy angel? Don't we look at the Face down. Right? We'd be so afraid, won't we? Amazed. And the the tendency is to try and worship them. And they'll tell us, like they told John twice in the book of Revelation, don't do that. You know? Worship God. You know? And because they're they're they're shiny. Right? They're bright. They're they're they're different. And and so we as they represent, they're ministering spirits sent by the Lord. Psalm one fourteen verse seven. Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob. So tremble. Isaiah fourteen fifteen and sixteen. Isaiah fourteen fifteen sixteen. Ye shall be brought down to hell to the sides of the pit. They that see thee shall shall narrowly look upon thee and consider thee saying, is this the man that made the earth to tremble that did shake thy kingdoms? Who's it referring to in Isaiah 14? The Antichrist, you're saying. Lucifer. Yep. Right? And they're looking at him like, are you kidding me? The whole earth trembled? You know, as as you're in your rebellion against God, cause the whole earth to tremble. And are you the one so they they can recognize him? Jeremiah five twenty two. Or excuse me, Isaiah sixty four two. Sixty four two. And when the melting fire burneth, the fire causes the waters to boil and make thy name known to thine adversaries that the nations may tremble at thy presence. So the the nations are gonna tremble when the Lord intervenes and destroys the alliance of nations in Ezekiel thirty eight thirty nine that are coming to get the spoil in Israel. And god's gonna do it that he would be glorified in the eyes of the nations. They knowing that there's no way Israel could have protected themselves and won that battle. But because God intervenes and five out of every six of that invading force is destroyed, it causes the whole world to take notice and to seek out a peace treaty possibly that might start the tribulation period if, in fact, it happens before the tribulation period. Jeremiah five twenty two. Jeremiah five twenty two? Yeah. I don't think anybody got it. Eddie Eddie has it. Oh, Eddie does. Yep. Yeah. Oh good. Fear you not me, saith Lord. Will you not tremble at my presence which are placed to sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree that it cannot pass it? And though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet they, can they not prevail? Though they roar yet, can they not pass over it? I love going to the beach. I love I love seeing that the water comes so far no further, you know, and that he's a god of order. Sometimes there's storms and you get a little bit of flooding, but not not like the Nuiq flood where he's gonna allow it to go all over the earth again. And all you gotta do is be in a small little boat out on an ocean that's got 50 foot, a 100 foot waves, you know, and, man, you're gonna feel really small. You're gonna feel you're gonna feel really afraid. Jeremiah ten ten. So you don't want to do anything that would make the king angry. Right? When when Herod the great heard that there was a king and that these Babylonian wise men came from the East to seek out the king of the Jews. Herod was known as one that was so incredibly insecure that he'd kill his own sons. As if they were if he felt that they were trying to take his kingdom from him, they might try and kill him and become the next king. So insecure he'd he'd assassinate him. And so when he's saying the whole Bethlehem, the whole area is nervous, it's because don't get Herod mad. You know? He'll send in some troops and kill every kid from two years old and under if he gets angry. You know? And that's the kind of guy he is. So pacify the king. Alright. Especially the lord. Every man for his own life in the day of thy fall. So a message to the other rebels. For thus saith the Lord God, the sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon thee. So God says, I'm gonna do this stuff to you. Armies are gonna be involved. And I'm also gonna use the king of Babylon and his armies as an instrument of judgment against you. And by the swords of the mighty, so his armies, will I cause thy multitude to fall, the terrible of the nations, all of them. And they shall spoil thy pomp of Egypt and its multitude shall be destroyed. So we talked about this how the July the Assyrian Assyrians destroyed the 10 northern tribes and then later God's gonna use the Babylonians to destroy the Assyrians and the Egyptians and also that of Israel. And at Tyre and Sidon, Nebbe didn't get his spoil there, but you're gonna get the treasure that's built up in Egypt, all the the pyramids and the the kings that went before the pharaohs, the vast well. You're gonna spoil the pomp of Egypt. I will destroy also all its beast from beside the great waters, so the Nile River. Neither shall the foot of man trouble them anymore, nor the hoofs of beasts trouble them. So one of the prophecies that possibly might be starting to be fulfilled is you watch YouTube videos. If you wanna know anything, go on YouTube. And you can see the Euphrates River drying up. Right? The Euphrates River is drying up and some say for what reason? For the kings of the East could come across. Right. And so that that's kind of a speculative but interesting. Right? And I will destroy also all its beasts from beside the great waters neither shall the foot of man trouble them anymore nor the hoofs of beasts, trouble them. And, so you can run smoothly. Man and beasts are gonna be gone. There's gonna be no life there. I'm gonna I'm gonna strip the place of life. It's gonna be desolate. Then will I make their waters deep and cause the rivers to run like oil, saith the Lord God. So with no people, no beasts, no activity, Ezekiel twenty nine twenty one talks about how God's eventually going to bless Egypt once again. But as we learned earlier, there's gonna be a, like, a forty year period of time where the first part of the millennium where Egypt's gonna just be left to regrow and become, you know, like a garden of Eden again to that to that extent to be, according to Ezekiel twenty nine twenty one, to become fruitful again. So wasted, left alone, no people, no beast, no nothing. The water's gonna become really pure, and so kind of a resurgence of restoration of the era of Egypt after the devastation. So some of this is telescoping future of what's gonna happen during the tribulation period unto them. When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate and the country shall be destitute of that which it was full, when I shall smite all those who dwell in it, then shall they know that I am the Lord. Sometimes people, they have to learn the hard way. They have to learn by way of God judging. He takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn, you know, from their sin. And God didn't make hell for mankind. God made hell for the devil and the fallen angels. But God's also made man in his own image, which means we have we're we have the power of choice, predetermined beings, and we're not robots. We're not gonna be Elon Musk robots with chips in our head. And so in that choice, in our relationship, it's a relationship not of law but of love, and that love's exercised with free will. And so it gives us the power of choice. And if we choose to reject Jesus and to reject heaven, that reject an eternity in the splendor of God's presence, then all that remains is for us to to be relegated to hell, to the pit as we're gonna see here. And they're gonna go down to the pit. So it's one thing to fall. It's one thing to be a nation that falls, a person that falls, but it's a totally other thing to fall into the pit, to fall into an eternity in hell. This is the lamentation with which they shall lament her. The daughters of the nation shall lament her. They shall lament for her even for Egypt and for all her multitude, saith the lord. So the funeral dirge, your allies, your friends, people that once enjoyed you, they're all going to lament your demise, your your falling apart. And then he says, it came to pass also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth day of the month, that the word of the lord came unto me saying, and so this is March seventeenth five eighty five BC, and it's a message of you're going to hell. You're not just gonna collapse as a nation, but you're gonna be taken down to hell. So it came to pass also in okay. So verse 18, son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt and cast them down even her and the daughters of the famous nations under the lower parts of the earth. So the cities and the other nations, you're gonna go down to the pit. And Psalm twenty eight one says, unto thee will I cry, oh lord, my rock. Be not silent to me, lest if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down to the pit. And you'll see that word pit, which speaks of hell with Sheol in the Hebrew, Hades in the Greek. But there's different compartments of hell. We have the grave, which is Hades and Sheol, double compartment, Luke 16, the rich man Lazarus in there. Jesus emptied that compartment out. You have another place where some of the really bad demons are being held called Tartarus, and we find it that word, the Greek word in in Jude and also in second Peter. And that's a holding holding place where these really, really bad demons from the from the time of Noah, the things they were involved in are gonna be unleashed against the earth dwellers. And I'm I'm just passing through. This this isn't my home here. So I might be here on earth, but I've got a mission. I've got a job to do, but it's it's not my home. My citizenship is in heaven. But the earth dwellers, they they have a chance during their lifetime to receive Christ. But if they don't, then God's gonna pour out his wrath on a Christ rejecting world. And part of that is unleashing demons. Unleashing demons in Revelation chapter nine. The demons are unleashed against humanity, they're stinging them and and tormenting them. And the people wanna die, but they can't even escape through death. And so just horrific. Absolutely horrific. There's another place called the abyss where Satan is gonna be held for a thousand years. The bible also speaks of a place beneath the river Euphrates where fallen angels are being held. And we also have a place the bible describes as the Lake Of Fire or Gehenna. Now Gehenna is a place where the Canaanites in second Kings chapter twenty twenty three verse 10, just outside of Jerusalem. So when we talk about Hena, Hennam, it's a perpetual burning dump outside the city of Jerusalem, just south of it. And this was a place when the Canaanites controlled the area before Israel went there. This was a place where they offered their children as burning sacrifices under their false gods. It continued to be a place of like a dump, a perpetual burning. And when Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus went and begged for the body of Jesus, and he's able to be put in, you know, Joseph's tomb there for three days, Had they not went and inquired of of that, a body like that that the Jews had a contempt for would just be like a donkey, like any kind of dead animal just be taken out to that perpetual burning dump. So when people are looking at that dump, Gehenna, Jesus is using it to warn people that they might tremble, and he describes it as a place where the worm dieth not and the fire is never quenched. That hell, the eventual abode in Revelation chapter 21 through three and verse ten eleven twelve that describe the great white throne judgment where the wicked dead, where the antichrist and the false prophet are going to go. The devil's gonna go there at the end of the millennium, wind up there. But the wicked dead in Revelation 20 are bodily resurrected from the dead. They're in a holding compartment called the pit, called hell, called Sheol, and it's a place of torment. And in this place of torment, they're awaiting they're awaiting the sentencing the sentencing. And so they're bodily resurrected from the dead. They're not annihilated. They're not burned up and nothing anymore. They've experienced pain. They experienced thirst. They experienced torment. And in that torment, there's no second chance. There's no purgatory. There's no being bought out or prayed out. Jesus, before he ascended, he descended. And Peter tells us that he proclaimed victory. He preached to the to the saints that were being held there. So there's there's those that were being held awaiting to ask them the body to be present with the Lord because not until the cross could they be even though Jesus told the thief on the cross, this day will be with me in paradise. And so it's Abraham's bosom, a place of comfort, and the other side, a place of torment. And so Jesus proclaimed victory. He spoiled all principalities and powers. He triumphed over them. The devil thought, if I can just kill the son of God, then I can usurp. I can take it for myself and no man takes his life from him. Jesus said he willingly lays it down. He has power to lay it down and power to take it again. And so that he demonstrated that he's God. And he did that so you and I wouldn't have to spend the eternity in hell because the wages of sin is death. Death is eternal separation from God, not just physical death, but the gift of God's eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. So son of man, wail for the multitude of each of them cast them down, even her and the daughters of the of the famous nations under the lower parts of the earth with those who go down into the pit. Whom doest thou pass in beauty? Go down and be thou laid with the uncircumcised. So be humiliated, and is what he's saying, you're gonna be humiliated. They shall fall in the midst of those who are slain by the sword. She is delivered to the sword and draw her and all her multitudes. So the armies are slain. And in Deuteronomy 30 verse six, when it speaks of being uncircumcised, it's the uncircumcision of the heart. And God wants to take away the foreskin of the heart, the the flesh, the flesh life. And so Deuteronomy 30 verse six, for the nation of Israel, God's going to bring about a circumcision of the heart. He's going to change them from being so stiff necked and fleshly to being those who wanna live the life of the spirit. So the strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of hell. With those who help him, they are gone down. They lie uncircumcised, slain by the sword. So an emphasis over and over again of the uncircumcised 10 different times here he's using this which speaks of those who are unbelievers and not the physical part but of the heart. They're unbelievers and the shame of being an unbeliever and not having admittance, not having entrance, you know, into heaven. And so it was a privilege to be a Jew and to have that mark of circumcision upon your life that you were separate. You were different from all the other nations, the Gentiles. And so you're not common. So the strong among the mighty shall speak to him of the midst of of hell with those who help him. They are going down they lie uncircumcised slain by the sword so that tremendous shame. Assyria, Asher is Assyria, is there. So who's in hell? Egypt's there. Assyria's there. Different nations there. And it's not gonna be a party it's a place of torment. Absolute torment. So Asher is there and all her company. Her graves are about her and all of the slain fallen by the sword. And so Assyria proceeded Egypt to hell. They're already there. When you get there, pharaoh, you're gonna recognize these other people that are there. I'm yearning for the day that I go to heaven, and I recognize my mom, my grandma, family members that Marlene and Bill, people that have gone before me to heaven. And I'll know them. Right? And they'll know me. And that's that's a hope that we have that one day we're gonna be reunited. And that's a huge motivator with your children and your grandchildren. The the objective, the job that the Lord's given you, the privilege, the blessing, the fruit of the womb is his reward. These children belong to the Lord and he's entrusted them unto us that we might nurture them in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, that we might train them up in the way they'll go. And when they're old, they won't depart. And so we can't force them, but we have the privilege and the blessing to influence them unto eternity to to be with Jesus. And there can be nothing greater than knowing that your children are walking with the Lord. Right? And your grandchildren. And so there's there's no greater achievement, no greater not not that we can make them or do it, but we can at least influence them. We can do everything in our part to try and point them in that direction through prayer and modeling the Christian life and sharing the gospel with them, dedicating to the Lord, baptizing them, taking them to church, reading the bible, all these things, pouring the word of God into them. And and the blessing of of knowing if if I'm laying there in the hospital bed or if I'm taken suddenly, my father-in-law Bill was taken suddenly with a heart attack, boom, gone. Marlene had a a death and my mom had a death of and my friend Andy of over a period of time. They're sick and then they're gone. But in every case, know I'm a see him again. And so that's a heartwarming thing when we know that. But for people to go to hell, they have loved ones who know Jesus. Right now we're trying to get our kids and everybody understand the rapture's coming. And if they don't see us one day, it's because we've been raptured. And so we have rapture kits for them. Right? We have packets. We have bibles. We have things that, you know, before leaving earth, basic instructions before leaving earth, the bible. And we we want them to know that that, you know, don't take the mark. Whatever you do, don't take the mark of the beast during the tribulation period. And we leave maybe some tapes of the left behind series and other means of communicating what just happened to us and where we're at and how they can get there, you know. That's gonna be an exciting a very, very exciting day when we have the marriage supper of the lamb, Revelation 19. And his wife has made herself ready. Right? Are you ready? I'm ready. I got the oil. I'm ready. And that's gonna be so exciting. No more tears. No more sorrow. No more pain. No more suffering. All our tears wiped away. That's what God promises. And we're joint heirs with Jesus Christ. Everything in his inheritance, we're joint heirs with him. We inherit with him. Even in on into the ages to come, God continues to lavish his love, you know, upon us in the eternal state and even beyond. But for the wicked, this is the best it's ever gonna get for the wicked. This life right now is the best it's ever gonna get. So when Joel Olsteen says, your best life now, he's speaking to the wicked. Because for the Christian, our best life ever is future. This is the worst it's ever gonna be for us. Right. Right? So the strong among the mighty shall oh, the Assyrians, Asher Asher is Assyria is there and all the company of her graves and all are about her, all of the slain fallen by the sword whose graves are set in the sides of the pit and her company is round about her grave and all of them slain fallen by the sword who caused terror in the land of the living. There is Elam, and Elam is present day Iran. So you've got Egypt there, you've got Assyria there, now you've got Iran there. Fastest growing church in the world right now is in Iran. Isn't that fascinating? And to be a Christian in Iran means you can be executed very easily. And with the destabilization of Assyria, where Assad bailed, the destabilization when Obama did the Arab Spring, they deep destabilized the whole Mideast. It put over 200,000 Christians homeless and on the run because ISIS was created, and being a Christian was a death sentence. So in Assyria, presently, to be a Christian in Assyria is very, very dangerous. You don't have people don't realize, but when you've got a Qaddafi or you've got a Saddam Hussein, they're what's called CIA strongmen, and they're put in there to be strong, to provide stability. So the fringe, the majority you got the majority and the minority, the Christians are in the minority, but they're protected by the strong men. Otherwise, the strong men might be replaced in a regime change. Right? And presently, right now, the Kurds the Kurds are asking for help because the Turks Turkey hates the Kurds. And so the Kurds are ancient, the Medes. So the Medes and the Persians, you got Iran, the Persians, and then you've got the Kurds who are the ancient Medes, Cyrus the Persian, and Darius the Mede. And so there's still hatred, racial hatred, a nation against nation such. And so it takes it takes a strong man, it takes a strong leader to stop the Islamic jihad, which is dominance, which is destruction. And so you could pay a tax and survive for a while. But if you're an open Christian, that's that's blasphemy to them. And if they have the upper hand, they're gonna execute and cut your head off and show everybody about it and all. So that's that's the danger of being a Christian there. So in Elam, there's Elam and all the multitude round about her grave and all of them slain fallen by the sword who are gone down uncircumcised in the lower parts of the earth who caused their terror in the land of the living, yet have they borne their shame with those who go down to the pit. They have set her abed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude, her graves around about about her and all of the uncircumcised slain by the sword. Though their terror was caused in the land of the living, yet, they have borne their shame. So you're gonna reap what you sow. You've been a terror in your lifetime, and now you're gonna reap what you sow. You're gonna bear the shame with those who go down to the pit. He is put in the midst of those who are slain. And then he goes on to Meshach and Tubal, which would be Russia Out of Genesis chapter 10, we follow that this tribes described there, these nations described there. So it would be what we call today. As we'll see in Ezekiel thirty eight and thirty nine, Meshach and Tubal refers to the area of present day Russia. And and so going down to hell, who wants Psalm fifty five twenty two and twenty three? Psalm fifty five twenty two and twenty three. Who wants Psalm one forty three seven? Okay? No. Go ahead. Okay. Proverbs twenty two fourteen. I'll take that. Isaiah oh, we already did that. Already did that. How about how about Matthew twenty three thirty three? Somebody want that? Yeah. Matthew twenty five forty one. Matthew eight verse 12. Alright. Matthew twenty two thirteen. Anybody want anymore? Yeah. Okay. So let's start with Psalm 55. Now this this topic of hell, Jesus spoke more about hell than he did heaven Mhmm. Warning people. The topic of hell is a topic pastors in the church today don't wanna address. They don't wanna talk about. They don't wanna talk about sin or repentance. All they wanna talk about is your best life now and everybody's going to heaven because you're a good person. Alright. Psalm fifty five twenty two and twenty three. Twenty two and twenty three. Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee. He shall never sup he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. But thou, oh God, shall bring down into the pit of destruction, Bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days, but I will trust in thee. Nice. Psalm one forty three seven. Hear me speedily, oh lord. My spirit faileth. Hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit. These are people that know there's a hell. They know there's a hell. I think everybody knows there's a hell except for a liar. Proverbs twenty two fourteen. The mouth of strange women is a deep pit. He that is aboard of the Lord shall fall therein. Oh, boy. Any man. Alright. So Matthew twenty three thirty three. Twenty three thirty three. Twenty twenty two thirteen. Matthew twenty three thirty three. Twenty two thirteen? That's mine. 812? I got 2213. What order? 2213 is what I have. Alright. Go ahead, Rob. I'm getting there. Matthew 2333, Betty? 33? Okay. 2213. Nope. Betty first. The son of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of hell? Is that nice language? H e double toothpicks. Yeah. Hockey sticks. Hockey sticks. There you go. Go ahead, Rob. Then said the king to the servants, bind him hand and foot and take him away and cast him into outer darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. So the one hand is outer darkness because you're away from God, but you're also not necessarily isolated from anybody because as we're reading here, there's gonna be other people that you might recognize. So it's a place where the worm dieth not and the fires never quenched. So you're feeling the the torment of the fire, but you you're not annihilated. Your body right now, if I'm if I'm near the flame, I'm gonna be consumed by the flame. But the flame of hell only torments me, but it doesn't consume me to annihilate me to stop the eternal part. It's it's eternal, that torment. So who's next? Matthew twenty five forty one. Then he will also say to those on his left, depart So that's Matthew 25 in the in the judgment, the sheep and goat judgments just prior to the millennium after his second coming. He's gonna separate the sheep from the goats. He's gonna judge the Gentiles based upon how they treated the nation of Israel during the tribulation period. And so but it's interesting there as he says to hell, we're prepared for the devil and his angels. So hell is a place that God prepared for the devil and his angels, not for human beings. God's unwilling that any would perish that all would come to repentance. That's his will. So this idea of election, that some are elected for heaven, some elected to hell, that's a that's a very unloving picture of God. It's a false picture of God. People nobody goes to hell being sent by God. People go to hell by rejecting Jesus and choosing hell over heaven. So your free will is involved. Alright, Vicky. Matthew eight twelve. Find my spot. Eight twelve. But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside into darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Weeping and gnashing of teeth. Yep. So what's it mean to gnash your teeth? Torment. Grit them. Grind them. Grind them. Not comfortable. Grinding them. You're in torment. Grievous torment. Yeah. That's not a place I wanna go. No. I don't wanna go there. I wanna go to heaven. I want the torment to stop. Right? So I don't I don't like pain, and I don't know why anybody would. I don't know why anybody would wanna be so angry at God when he sent his son to prove his love for us. And it says in Deuteronomy 30 verse six, and the Lord thy God will circumcise thine heart and the heart of thy seed to love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul that thou mayest live. So that blessing of faith that god gives us. Verse 26, there are Meshach and Tubal and did I forget anybody? Okay. And the multitude, their graves are round about them and all of the uncircumcised shall be slain by the sword. Though they cause their terror in the land of the living, so they're included. And shall they not lie with the mighty that are fallen of the uncircumcised who are gone down to hell with their weapons of war. And they have laid their swords under their heads. And so but their iniquity shall be upon their bones. So this particular group of people, they don't get to lie their heads upon their in honor upon their swords. They have the ignominy, the shame of lying upon their bones. And so it's a and they have laid their swords under their heads, but their iniquity shall be upon their bones, though they were the terror by the mighty in the land of the living. So they've been subdued, they've been killed, they've been destroyed. Ye thou shall be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised and shall lie with those who are slain with the sword. And so gonna die. The eventual abode of the wicked dead. The great white throne judgment, that's the that's the place where all the wicked dead are gonna stand before God, bodily raised up, and give account of what they did while they're in their body whether good or bad. The great white throne in Revelation chapter 20 verse 15. Alright. There is Edom, which is present day Southern Jordan, Edomites. This is from Esau, Jacob and Esau. So there's Edom, her kings, and all of her princes were with the might and laid by these who were slain by the sword, and they shall lie with the uncircumcised and with those who go down to the pit. So in Hebrews, we read where God says, Jacob have I loved Esau, but I hated the unbelief. The unbelief of of of Esau. Esau had no propensity, had no desire for the things of the spirit. He's a man of the flesh. And that doesn't please God. Without faith, it's impossible to please him. And so therefore are the princes of the North, all of them, and all the Sidonians. So now you have those of the North or those of Lebanon, and the Sidonians, you remember who they are? The Phoenicians. Do you remember who was a Sidonian princess? Jezebel. That's right. And they were not indigenous to the area. They were mariners, and they rode their their ships to the area of Gaza. So they are the princes of the South, all of them, and all of the Sidonians who are going down with the slain, with their terror. They are ashamed of their might, and they and they uncircumcised with those who are slain by the sword and bear their shame with those who go down, to the pit. So hell, damnation, and pharaoh shall see them and shall be comforted over all the multitude. So Pharaoh, you're not God. Pharaoh was worshipped as a God. You're not a God. Gods don't die. God's not dead. And that's the proof is all these guys that pretend to be God, all they have to do is be crucified, buried, raise himself from the dead to prove that they're God, but none can prove that as Jesus challenged his enemies to destroy this temple in three days, I'll raise it up. So Buddha starts a religion. Mohammed, Confucius, Joseph Smith, all these guys that start cults start religions. They have all one thing in common. They're dead men. They're all dead. They couldn't conquer death. So why would you wanna follow them if they can't? That's a dead end. Jesus isn't a dead end, you know. I'm the way, the truth, life. No man comes to the father but through me and we know he's risen. He's risen indeed. So pharaoh shall see them and shall be comforted. So you're not alone. The comfort is you're not alone there. There's gonna be a whole lot of others there. It's not gonna be a party though like people imagine. It's a place of torment. Even pharaoh and all of his army slain by the sword saith the Lord God. So King Tut and all of his enemies or all of his mummies are in the pit. For I have caused my terror in the land of the living and he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised with those who are slain with the sword, even pharaoh and all of his multitudes, saith the lord god. And so that's the eventual abode of the wicked. He mentions uncircumcised 10 times. 10 times. Yep. In that latter half. So that's he's making a mention of the ungodly. Yeah. They have no relationship with God there. The but the true Israel of God are those who believe, and the true circumcision is not the outward, but the circumcision of the heart. Mhmm. So even a Jew has that pedigree and that that natural birth. You gotta be born again, Nicodemus. So one thing all of these have in common is that they have the shame of being uncircumcised in the sense that they don't know God. They're not a part of that covenant that Yeah. The nation of Israel had. Wow. Alright. Anybody else? We got cookies over there. Yay. Alright. Let's sing happy birthday for Jim. It's his birthday tomorrow. Oh, yeah. You guys ready? Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday you. Happy birthday dear Jim. Alright. Thank you. Right on. Right on. Okay. Thank you very much. Praise the lord. You're a blessing, Jim. Thank god. Saved me because I wasn't very nice many years ago. You weren't? No. I can't imagine you not nice. I was the chief of sinners. Were you a heathen? You're a heathen? I was a heathen. A dog? Yep. Very bad. But he got me Pretty young. An uncircumcised heathen? Yeah. Circumcised. Yeah. God's good. I'll tell you. He can look what he's done with us. I mean, we were all On our way to to hell. Yeah. Thank you, Lord. Praise the Lord. Yep. We we found our true love in Jesus. Amen. The emptiness that no one or nothing else could fill. Amen. Have a good nap. They say. Anybody have anything you need prayer for? K. What's going on in our country? What's going on in the world? It's all good. Man, we're gonna all be rich soon. That's a feeling. Right? There's so much going on. It's happening so fast. Yeah. I don't even, like, read the news or I do some news, Drudge Report, Breitbart, Steve Quail, few few spaces. And but, man, there's so much going on. And none of it, hardly any of it, I I anticipated. Never in a million years did I know there was a thing called DOGE, you know? Yeah. Department of Government Efficiency, you know, with these kids wearing shorts and a jacket, you know, going in there. Ain't that funny? Yeah. It's just funny.
