In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Alright. Thanks, Rob. Good morning. Genesis chapter one beginning with verse 20 tonight. And how how old is the Earth? 6,000. I hear 6,000. That's what we would call a young Earth. I'd say not more than 10. No more than 10,000. Still a young Earth. Not billions. So why do the evolutionists need billions? Because they don't understand their layers. They need time. They need time. Okay, and then even even how we believe as we studied in Genesis one, in the beginning God created the heaven the earth. Now if you believe that then you shouldn't have trouble with anything else in the Bible in regard to your God, right? Your God's a big God. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. If you believe that, that's solid in you, then there's nothing too hard for God, nothing hard for God as he asked as he asked Abraham. Anything hard for God? Jeremiah reiterated that and so the gap between Genesis one one and two in the beginning God created the heaven the earth and then earth was without form and void we talked last week how that the angels were created before the creation of the earth and the sons of God and Job were looking at creation and the angels were looking at creation and they were just in awe about it and Satan's fall and Isaiah 14 and in Ezekiel 28 indicated that he was created perfect in beauty at one point and he had a mineral garden to walk up and down in and then he was cast out of heaven down to the earth and between Genesis one one and two there's chaos, chaos erupted and then judgment of God in verse two the tohu va bohu the moving of the Holy Spirit hovering over the earth and a recreation, a redefinition if you will, to overcome the chaos of which the earth was subjected to when Satan came down to the earth and created that chaos. God covered it with water and no longer the mineral garden shining and and bright and all that, and then we then we move on and we see the six days of creation. God describing six days. Now how many believe it was six twenty four hour days? Right? Six twenty four hour days? And if somebody says to you well I think the earth is you know millions of years old and I believe everything you're saying but that gap of time from when God existed because he's eternal and so he has no beginning of days or end right and you believe that the universe is older you're gonna have to speculate about that because there's no verses in the Bible that allude to that. If we go to John one, In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, the Word was God, the same beginning with God, all things were made by him so before the creation of the earth creation of the universe you have Jesus the word of God and the Godhead existing before it precedes the account in Genesis one, and so some would put in that gap between one, one and two. They don't like to hear that word gap because it may mean that people are going to speculate and say well based upon the fossil record or based upon this, upon that, whatever, they think that the earth is 10,000, 10,000,000, you know, however million years you want to go. And then carbon dating and all these other different ways that people try to judge the earth. But basically the evolutionists, what they need is they need time. And Doctor. Kent Hovind, he's got a really good whole series of tapes that are for free and he dedicated his life. He used to be called drdinosaur.com down in Florida and for kids to come and for people to learn about creation. He used to be a sixth grade, you know, public school teacher. So he has a real good way. All this stuff's free I think and so if any of you want to hone in on that but he made real strong emphasis about how young the earth is now. If you need a verse of scripture to back up your belief you go to Exodus 20 verse 11 who wants to read Exodus 20 verse 11 And the Bible will comment for you Moses is commenting of how many days there were of creation. Yeah. Go ahead. Okay. For the six days, the lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them and rested on the seventh day. Wherefore, the lord bless the Sabbath day of halloween. There you go. Okay. Now, a dear friend of mine sent me a letter, little girl on a plane. You ever heard that one? Little girl on a plane? An atheist was seated next to a little girl on an airplane and he turned to her and said, do you want to talk? Flights go much quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger. Little girl who had just started to read her book replied to the total stranger, what would you want to talk about? Oh, I don't know, said the atheist. How about why there's no God or no heaven or hell or no life after death? As he smiled smugly. Okay, she said. Those could be interesting topics, but let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff, grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets while a cow turns out a flat patty but a horse produces clumps. Why do you suppose that is? The atheist, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence, thinks about this and says, I have no idea. To which the little girl replies, Do you really feel qualified to discuss God, heaven and hell or life after death when you don't know dung or refuse and then she went back to reading her book. And you think about that, that's an interesting creation, so topics people can't even describe. Now who knows about the Bombardier beetle? Anybody know about the Bombardier beetle, how that operates? Rob knows the bombardier beetle now a little while here we're going to get to bugs being created and we're going to have Rob tell you how the bombardier beetle bombs how he the chemical reaction the chemical and so the kids there in Downtown Bremerton there by the shipyard I think there used to be like a bug place and the kids go there bugs and dinosaurs and stuff and it's so fascinating for children to learn, you know, the macro and the micro aspects of creation. And so even the air that we breathe that we can't see, everything that we can't see, God has created. One guy pointed out that during the black plague that people began to blame, you know, the air was bad and they couldn't be outside, you know, breathing the air. So they'd stay inside and smother themselves and stay inside and all. Had they had greater knowledge and had a microscope and could see what was going on, they would understand that it was the fleas that were on the rats that was spreading the sickness, the plagiol, but they didn't understand germs, how germs can affect the proliferation of germs. And so in the Jewish homes, they were exercising a mosaic law that of hygiene, of washing their hands like doctors washing their hands, right? Where did they learn all that? Because of germs. And so we see the big huge dinosaurs, but there's also a lot of things learned just in the cell, the DNA of a cell and all the the microbiology and God's created it all. So verse 20, we got to verse 19 of the fourth day now we're entering to the fifth day And so God said, let let the waters bring forth abundantly the the moving creature that has life and the fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament, of heaven. And so this is a continuation of, verse six of the second day where God had made the firmament and he made the waters. He separated the waters out. So, now he's going to bring the fish life and the animal life into the heavens and into the into the waters, into the seas. So, god said, let the waters bring forth abundantly. The moving creature that has life and the fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. So the first heaven is where the birds fly and the Lord's bringing forth these birds. Now it's estimated that there's, let's see here, 9,000 different types of birds, 800,000 different kinds of insects, 6,000 reptiles, 3,000 amphibians, 30,000 kinds of fish. So the fish abundantly that are filling up the ocean, filling up the waters, about 30,000 kinds. Now kinds is a very important word here, especially in refuting the evolutionary theory. 5,000 mammals, half a billion infusoria which you can detect in one drop of water. So there's a lot of action going on just one drop of infusoria. Tiny little creatures, thousands of species and absolutely zero, no evidence of evolution. And tragically, near the end of the eighteen hundreds, when Thomas Darwin's bringing forth his theory and the scopes trials, the monkey trials and all that sort of stuff, the church wimped out. The church was fearful of being viewed as not being very intelligent because they called it where right now we have what we call a technocratic area which is nothing new. 1938 the technocrats had the same sort of a view that they do now that corporations and tech giants would, you know, rule the world. But the modernists, they began to postulate that there's an evolutionary theory that also even a big bang, they tried to answer the questions of origin where did man come from and all. And so the church went down and Charles Spurgeon was really bummed out about this because the churches became more and more liberal and they began to do what's called theistic evolution. That God got it started and then everything evolved after that. You know, in the very beginning, god created it and then and then it evolved and so that was a wimp out or a big bang theory. The uniformitarianism, big bang that you could take this watch, take a watch, and there's no designer, no engineer. It all happened by random chance, by accident. So this big bang happened and then when the parts, the particles all came down together then it was a watch. Look, I got a watch here. And that's the idea of the big bang. Out of confusion somehow they think they're gonna establish order And yet laws of entropy and second law of thermodynamics, everything that God has created because of the fall of man is getting worse. So Kathy's out gardening and Ezra's out there pulling weeds and the apple trees and everything need cultivation. They need to be groomed and they need to be pruned back each year and fertilized and all that so as to produce more productivity. So you can't leave it to itself or it's going to die out and you got to go to the rose bushes and cut off all the old dead parts of branches and limbs and things like that. And so it's because of a loss of entropy and same with our bodies. Our bodies are dying, our bodies are getting well you know they're breaking down right and get diseased and not as strong as we were and I could use a word loosely, we're getting older. Some of us are getting older and so these bodies weren't designed to live forever, right, because of the flood. Now Adam, he's made finitely perfect. He's made finitely perfect but because sin entered in the day you eat of it you shall surely die. So the process of death physically took place but also the action of being separated from God took place which is another definition of death. And so so as we go through here, if you have any ideas concerning origin, concerning animals and things like that, you're welcome to to interject. So when God said, let us those waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life and the fowl that may live above the earth and the firmament of heaven. So the macro and the micro and God created great sea monsters. And this is the Hebrew word Tananem and speaks of Leviathan. We see Leviathan in the book of Job, you know, God's asking Job, you know, can you catch Leviathan with a hook and behemoth? Some feel that behemoth might be alluding to a, you know, hippopotamus, a crocodile or a big dinosaur. And so these these huge sea creatures, maybe, you know, huge whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly after their kind. Now, again, that's a very important distinction because in the evolutionary theory, they postulate that, you know, that a monkey can become a man, that we originate from a monkey. Right? And when I was going to school, they had the picture of the cavemen and the monkeys you know gradually evolving and becoming standing up erect you know as human beings and all and we saw that in every classroom was drilled into us and for some reason I never believed it, never hooked me I always knew there was a God. And so after their kind and every wing fowl after its kind and God saw that it was good and so you can have variations in the species You can have a dog that's a German Shepherd or different pit bull, a wolf, all those come from the same family but you don't see a dog changing its kind to becoming a cat. Right? But that's what these guys speculate. They speculate that the transitional forms would be able to transition like that and become something else. And so according to its kind And God saw that it was good and God blessed them saying be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas and let fowl multiply in the earth. And so God's placing a blessing upon the animal kingdom of fish and of the fowls, the birds, and the Hebrew word is which means unchanged. So you're gonna multiply but you're not going to change. You're not going to change species. You're going to stay according to your kind. And so whales don't birth seals, right? And we laugh at that, but our kids, you know, they're taught to, even humans are going to evolve, even humans are going to become, know, superhuman creatures and stuff and so unchanged. In the evening and the morning were the fifth day so we acknowledged last week that the recording of a day is a Hebrew recording of sunset starting with the evening and coming back around is that's a full day. And so the fossil record, different kinds of species, they do not change and it happened suddenly and they were fully formed, fully formed. They didn't start out theistic evolution and then evolve and reach a place of maturity just a sudden fully formed, you know, animal and a fish and fowl. And God said, let the earth bring forth the living creature. The living creature after its kind, cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth after its kind and it was so. So he's bringing forth the domestic animals, the cattle that would be for the husbandry of men, and then also the wild animals, the beasts of the earth. Now interesting here they're all vegetarian every single one of them are gonna eat grass and eat high antioxidant superfoods right and the carnivore aspect doesn't come until after the fall and so the animals aren't eating each other, there's plenty of grass for them all to eat and God made the beasts of the earth after its kind and cattle after their kind and everything that creepeth upon the earth after its kind. So the bugs, all these different bugs that are they're not gonna they're not gonna evolve into something else and God saw that it was good. So again dogs don't become cats and the bugs don't now one of the interesting things is a worm, a cocoon, a caterpillar becomes a butterfly, right? How would you explain that? Part of the process of bringing forth the butterfly? Millions of years. Millions of years? Transformation. Transformation. I'm a worm and no man Jesus said in Psalm 22, the crotious worm, the worm where they get the red, the red dye and so his blood, speaking of his blood, so he creeps upon the earth after its kind. So we said there's a half a billion, a thousand, let's see bugs, 9,000 birds, 8,000 different kind of insects, 800,000 different kinds of insects. So species, kind, kind, kind, kind keeps coming according to kind. So none of them jump and make that jump to become something else where a monkey becomes a man. There's no point of transition of jumping and immediately it's happened and there is no no animals can adapt, we can adapt, but it's not an evolution. They're not being changed. We learn to adapt to different environments and so on. And so God made the beast of the earth after its kind and cattle after their kind and everything that creeps upon the earth after its kind. And he said, and it was good. And now we come to the sixth day. And God said let us so we've got a plural here again and we've got Elohim, the ending of it being plural, so the God had the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. God said, let us make man in our image and our likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created a man in his own image and the image of God created him, male and female created him. Alright. So God said, let us, whereas before it was let there be, down in verse 14, let there be. Now that is changing a bit here and God said, let us make man. And so again, Elohim, the God man, and let us make him in our image and our likeness and let them have dominion. So image and likeness. This is gonna be outward image and likeness and an inward image and likeness. And man is a three part being body, soul and spirit. The animals have a soul but we as human beings are made in the image of God and that we have the power of choice, the power to reason. We have personality, moral and a spiritual compass. We have emotions, intellect, conscience, will, and outwardly we gaze up to heaven. We have facial expressions that mimic God or of his likeness and the animals do not. Although some of you animal owners would argue your dog, your cat has facial expressions and you see those some of you would say they talk to you and all of those sorts of things, you know. I'm not there. There's an inward the inward emotions, intellect, conscience, and will and personality, moral, and spiritual. Elohim, plural. And so created mankind, let us make a man in our image, and our likeness. Now the lie within the garden as we're going see is Satan said that you can be as God. So it's different to say that we're made in his image and likeness to that of evolving and becoming a God. And so we have to draw the line there and say, no, no, no, Jared Kushner, all your technology Elon Musk, you know, none of you at the end of the age here with your technology are going to be able to bring man to an evolutionary status of living forever. There's postulating that they can live forever. Now their generation, Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law said that, and they're going to download people's soul, their mind, their brains, all the data from their brain down to like a computer in a computer process and record that data, compile that data, and then be able to take that data, take all that of your soul, your mind, your brain, all that, and put it into a cyborg, put it into another body, put it into a robot, transhuman, a transitioning of technology with human. And so when Adam and Eve are confronted by the devil, the devil says to Eve, you you shall not surely die but it would be as God's known good and evil. The lie in second Thessalonians chapter two when the people reject the truth of who God is and one of the greatest truths of rejecting God we'll see in Romans one is denying him the glory that's due his name as creator. And when you suppress the truth when you suppress the truth like that then God says that he's going to give you over. And so in second Thessalonians two he gives the world over to a strong delusion that they would believe the lie. And that lie is the one that Satan brings forth that one day man's gonna be God. Now that's the desire of Lucifer in Isaiah 14 is that he would be God and one fourth or one third in Revelation 12 of the angels fell with Lucifer somehow believing this somehow he'd pulled that off that he'd be you know as a god so in the rebellion under God. So turn to Romans chapter one. Okay. Romans chapter one and we'll go we'll go with the theme of it. Verse 16, for I'm not ashamed of the gospel of Christ for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it, in the Gospel, is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith as is written, the just shall live by faith. So now Paul is gonna show how the whole world is guilty before God. Verse 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who hold that word hold is suppress who suppress the truth in unrighteousness. So if you look at John three the reason they reject the truth and turn to John three a second put your finger there there's a mystery of why people won't believe it's like it's so hard when you and I have been given faith and the Lord's made it easy for us to believe it's it's it's not something I sweat it's not something that I have a hard time I in the beginning God created the heaven the earth I have no problem with that My God's a big God you know. I may have difficulty in understanding why me, why would you choose me, why would you allow me And he says verse 18, he that believes on him is not condemned but he that believeth not is condemned already because he's not believed in the name of the only begotten son of God. And this is the condemnation that light has come into the world and men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. So the reason they're not believing is not an intellectual problem it's a problem of the will. Man has not been made a robot. Man has made in the image and likeness of God and has the power of choice, of free will, free moral agency and to reason and to reject the truth of God as the creator and God as the redeemer. The fool has said in his heart there is no God. And that word fool means you're either lying to yourself and other people acting like an atheist or you've lost your faculties. You don't have the ability to reason any longer. So John's here is letting us know they love their darkness. They don't wanna give up their darkness. So men love darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. For everyone that doeth evil hates the light, neither cometh to light. So the practicing of evil. They love the dark neither comes to the light lest their deeds should be reproved. So the reason they don't like you is because you are light and you expose their wickedness. A lot of people I like and I'd like to hang out with and fellowship with after I got saved, I could see how uncomfortable they were because I didn't like to drink. I didn't like to go, drink with them anymore and to party with them. And one of them said to me, Do you eat? And I said, Oh yeah, I eat, so I can go out and have something to eat. But I'm not the same Rick, it's not the same kind of interaction like we used to have. What I discovered is they're miserable if they can't drink. And so you're quenching their moment, you're quenching their time. At the holidays, it's so funny to watch my family because even at funerals and stuff, people are so agitated, they're so upset and all, and they may not be drinking right at first. At my grandma's birthday, she had a 90 birthday, and the family was there and there was no alcohol, and man, they wanted to get out there as quick as they could, you know, because they don't like being sober. And we did not interact on the level that they wanted to be able to interact. Now when I used to drink, everything just flowed. Everything was everything was fine. But you expose their darkness and it makes them very uncomfortable. For everyone that doeth evil hates the light neither comes to the light, lest their deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light that his deeds may be made manifest and they are wrought of God and so our desire is to glorify the Lord. We want the Lord to be glorified so that's why we're gonna let our light shine. Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your father who is in heaven. So go back to Romans one. And so for the wrath of God is revealed, God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth and unrighteousness. So man knows there's a day of judgment coming. They don't like to think about it but God is revealed there's gonna be a day of judgment because that which may be known of God is manifest to them for God has shown it unto them. Psalm nineteen one through six. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen being understood by the things that are made even his eternal power and Godhead so that they're without excuse. Who wants to read Psalm nineteen:one through six? Okay. Heaven has declared the glory of God and the firmament showeth his handiwork. Day unto day, utter a speech, and night unto night shall acknowledge. There's no speech or no language or your voice is not heard. The line has gone out through all the earth and their words to the end of the world. In them have he set the tabernacle for the sun, which is the bridegroom coming out of the his chamber and rejoices as a strong man to run a race. His going forth is from the end of the heaven and his circuit is for the is and his circuit unto the ends of it and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. So the stars, the solar system, everybody sees the sun, everybody sees the moon, everybody sees all the stars out there especially when you guys go camping. And man is responsible for that revelation. God revealing himself unto man. Now if man suppresses that truth and he begins to make idols and begins to ascribe, you know, that Zeus did this or Jupiter or, you know, the different mythology of the Greek, you know pantheon and all, that's idolatry and that is blasphemous unto God and he's going to judge that because you're not giving him glory that's due his name. And so even even the person that everybody's so worried about that's out in the bush and has never heard the gospel the missionary never got there God is communicating to every single person on the planet through his creation Through creation. And faith having faith and acknowledging what God's stirring because he sent his Holy Spirit stirring in your heart concerning this God that can be imputed unto you and God can bring a missionary God can bring people to articulate and communicate a little bit further concerning Jesus. But if you reject the general revelation of creation and all through the Bible God continues to be described as the God the creator, God the Creator, God the Creator and Jesus is our God who created all things but also our Redeemer. So then there's a greater revelation beyond that of creation, more specific, in the God sent a son. Now you're responsible for his son. Every Christmas you celebrate Christmas you're responsible for the babe of Bethlehem that revelation that knowledge and then the crucifixion that he went to the cross to die for your sins. You're responsible for that information. So if you don't want to be convicted then you might try to suppress that truth, reject the truth, and reach a place where your conscience is severed with a hot iron, your past feeling. No longer is there any sensation of right or wrong anymore and you do things with impunity acting like there is, you you make up lies that there is no judgment. Oh, when we die we just cease to exist or we're reincarnated or you know, there's purgatory and we get a second chance. Men come up with all these different reasons to try and assauge their guilt and when it's just so much easier just to believe in Jesus. Just believe in Jesus. And so they're without excuse because when they knew God, so you know God from the standpoint Him revealing Himself to you through creation, they glorified Him not as God neither were thankful but became vain or empty in their imaginations and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they become fools. And they changed, notice it says, the glory of God, the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man, and birds and four footed beasts and creeping things. So they made a whole series of idols and God's saying to the nation of Israel these idols you're making you go out into the forest and you cut down a tree and you take part of the wood to burn to heat your your home and another part of the wood to cook your food and and you take some of the wood to put paneling on your house and the walls and all and then you take another portion of that same tree and you carve it and it becomes your god. And it has eyes but it can't see, it has ears it can't hear, has a mouth it can't speak, it has a throat it you know it can't speak. And so guys the Lord's trying to show them the absurdity but people become vain in their imaginations when they reject the obvious proof. And so children, God creates children with a childlike faith, with a childlike curiosity, a childlike wonderment, and we call it the formative years where they're like sponges and they have questions. Daddy, papa, mom, dad, who made the stars? Who made the sun? Who made the earth? Who made God? Where's God? All these different kinds of, Oh, look at this bug. Who made this bug? Where are the dinosaurs? A whole myriad of different curious questions they have and that's where we come in. And we want to point them to Christ. We want to point them to the God of all creation. But no, our society crushes that spirit and tells them everything evolved. There is no God. How blasphemous that is in the public school system to crush that spirit and to have them from five years old forward and you're just crushing them. You're just crushing them you know. You're trying to make them into atheists and idolaters. It's absurd. It's just absolutely crazy that parents would put up with something like that you know. So professing themselves to be wise they become fools and change the glory of the incorruptible God into an image like corruptible man and birds and four footed beasts and creeping things. That's what we're just talking about. He's making all this now you're gonna make those creeping things a God. How dishonoring to God. Wherefore God also gave them up unto uncleanness through the lust of their own hearts to dishonor their own bodies. So the judgment God's gonna bring against them you dishonor me I'm gonna let you dishonor yourselves. And this is why in the whole gay and lesbian community they're seeking normalization because they feel abnormal. They feel different. So wherefore God also gave them up an uncleanness through the lust of their own hearts to dishonor their own bodies between themselves who exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshipped and served the creature the devil Lucifer, the one behind this, more than the creator who is blessed forever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up on the vile affections for even their women exchanged the natural use for that which is against nature. And likewise also, so there's a chaos, there's a rebellion against the designer and his design. And so he's gonna judge and that you're going away from the glory that's due my name as God the creator. And now you're going away from the natural use of the body that I intended, men with women and women with men. And now you're men with men, women with women. And likewise also the men leaving the natural use of the woman burned in their lust one toward another, men with men and working that which is unseemly and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was fitting. And so even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge God gave them over to a reprobate mind to do those things that are not seemly. Being filled with all unrighteousness and fornication wickedness covetous maliciousness full of envy murder strife deceit malignity whispers backbiters haters of God insolent proud boasters inventors of evil things disobedient to parents without understanding covenant breakers without natural affection implacable unmerciful who knowing the judgment of God that they who commit such things are worthy of death not only do them do the same but have pleasure in them that that do them. And so all stemming from a rejection of God as the creator and rejecting him as the designer, the engineer, the one that created all things And and in that rebellion, persisting in that rebellion, God gives them over. Now Romans eight twenty nine, For whom he did foreknow, he did also predestinate to be conformed to the image of his son that he might be the firstborn of many brethren. So in the natural we're created in the image and likeness of God in the fall, breakdown but if any man be in Christ he's a new creation the old things are passed away all things become new. So there's a process taking place in your life and my life as we come to Christ of sanctification of changing us and we're being changed from glory to glory in the image of God. So Adam was created finitely perfect then he fell. We are born into a fallen condition. We're born again. We're body, soul, spirit born of the spirit but now God is moving us in a direction of being perfected when we see him face to face and we have our new glorified body we will be like the first Adam, we're gonna be like the last Adam, like Jesus, we're gonna be like him created in his image and his likeness. And so Psalm eight thirty five. Eight three through five. I did it again, didn't I? When I consider the heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou has ordained, what is man that thou art mindful of him and the son of man that thou visit him for thou has made him a little lower than the angels and has crowned him with glory and honor. So the angels are a higher order of creation When they rebelled against God there is no plan of redemption for them. And when Jesus comes on the scene he comes as a man not as an angel. And so he humbled himself, lowered himself and took on the form of man. His favorite description of himself is the son of man and so man is made a little bit lower than the angels and that are mindful of him and the son of man that thou visit him for thou has made him a little lower than the angels and has crowned him with the glory and honor thou made him to have dominion over the works of your hands so God's gonna give Adam dominion over the earth Satan presently is the little g god of this world, the prince of power of the air. Now when God makes Adam, he removes Satan from being, you know, over the earth in his rebellion when he's cast down to the earth and God recreates, God puts the first Adam, Adam in the garden and God gives Adam authority and dominion over the earth whereas between Genesis one:one and two Satan came down and tried to destroy the earth in his rebellion against God. For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels and has crowned him with glory and honor thou made him to have dominion over the works of your hands thou has put all things under his feet all sheep and oxen, nay the beasts of the field, the fowl of the air, the fish of the sea and what sort of pass through the paths of the sea, O Lord how excellent is your name in all the earth. So the pagans, the people living in Oregon and you know they're making all sorts of laws where man is beneath the animals. The animals are at the top of pyramid and man is at the bottom and you can't hunt anymore, you can't raise livestock anymore, you can't garden anymore, you can't go on a paddleboard on the lake without a permit now and husbandry and all different ways that you're going to create food and have food in the state of Oregon that are trying to outlaw it all. Well, part of that's the whole globalist depopulation in control of humanity and giving bugs and spotted owls and all other sorts of rats, the kangaroo rats in California and all these different species and all they become uppermost and more important than human beings. So if you like to go to the beach and surf and stuff, they take and they cause great white sharks to have an endangered species status and you're not allowed to thin them out. They're going to reintroduce wolves all over Idaho and Montana and some of them are coming into California pretty soon to Washington. What do the wolves do? The wolves eat all the deer and they eat all the elk and they work their way down the whole food chain and all. Why were they eradicated? Why are they moved away from men? Because we raise cows and chickens and horses and domesticated animals and we don't want the wolves. We don't want them up in Alaska. Stay up there you guys, you know? But they worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator who is blessed forever. And then the other one is the worshiping of mother earth, of nature. And again, man being below that of nature. So these evolutionary, a lot of this started with the evolutionary theory in the eighteen hundreds, like I said, and Charles Darwin and all. And then it carried over to, you know, to Germany with Nietzsche and a bunch of these thinkers, and they began to again, they began to look at man as being beneath the animal life and all or just an animal, and not being created in the image of, you know, Almighty God. So God puts us at the top of the of the whole pyramid thing, and he puts the animal life and the planet beneath us. And then we, like Ray and Betty, we're supposed to take care of that land. We're supposed to be farmers and husbands and beekeepers like Carl Schlemmler and gardeners like Kathy. And we wanna take care of it and we want to be fruitful and to multiply to have more veggies and more fruits and better better health, you know, as we as we eat in that way. So turn to Hebrews chapter two. But presently, the objective of the globalist is population reduction to destroy humanity, and they think they're the top of the pyramid. And and I just wish we could start with them in reduction of people. So Hebrews two verse five. For unto the angels has he not put in subjection the world to come of which we speak. It's so interesting the Apostle Paul in first Corinthians chapter six when the church of Corinth was fighting with each other and taking each other to court Paul said to him don't you know you Christians that one day you are gonna judge angels? Isn't that fascinating? One day we're gonna judge those fallen angels. It's crazy. That's a high rank that he gives us you know. We're made a little lower than the angels but there's a day where we're crowned. We're crowned as his children. But one in a certain place testifies saying what is man that thou are mindful we just read that of him, Psalm eight, or the son of man that thou visit him thou made him a little lower than the angels thou crowns him with glory and honor and did set him over the works of your hands over creation. And again being over creation means we should be good stewards of creation. We shouldn't be so greedy that we have a silver mine or a gold mine and we're running the caustic chemicals down into a river that people downriver are gonna have to use for drinking water, right? And kill all the fish and wipe everything out. That's very, very poor husbandry. And we shouldn't be building data centers that take away all the water and cause the water that's still existing to be all brown and caustic and causing cancers and things, it's mind blowing. So thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet, for in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him, but now we see not it all things put under him. So eventually, we're gonna be a part of a joint heir with Jesus as he subdues everything, all the angels, principalities, powers, everything that he's made is brought into subjection unto him. So back at our text with all the animals, with all of the bugs, with everything, man's being put in a position to be the first federal head over the earth. So made in the image and likeness of God and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowls of the air and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. We may not like snakes and we wanna get rid of all the snakes, but snakes might be the very thing that eats the rats. So we learn to coexist with some of the snakes, right? If we're in India and we're unable to kill any animals, you know, because that might be my grandma over there, that cow or that rat or whatever, so all their food source everything's just overwhelmed with filth and animals and rats and it's because they believe their belief system is that the animals are God, A god, you know, a pantheon, know, multiply different gods, little gods, and so that of a reincarnation And people come back as these animals reincarnated, which there's no biblical premise for that, and then so they get special treatment. Don't kill them, you're gonna be killing a god, you know? And so we take dominion over the fish of the sea, over the fowl of the air, over the cattle and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth. So one of the things I do like is, and I do applaud is making a way for the salmon to come down from Alaska and to come into the rivers and the streams and the creeks that they left and helping them by causing every impediment and everything that would be in their way to be able to travel back up those rivers and streams and creeks to where they were once born so that they can lay eggs and die or whatever. But so interesting the way the Lord put that instinct within those salmon and we as stewards we would recognize this and we would want to enhance their ability to produce that function because we want salmon. Who wants to eat farm raised salmon? I don't. So let's have the wild natural salmon and a part of that is the husbandry to be able to do that. And all along the state of Washington, I'm not saying when it comes to electricity, you need electricity that you blow up every dam, hydroelectric electricity. Maybe there's other ways to accomplish both, but man is at the top and we can eat salmon, get salmon from a different way, there's other ways. And so part of that's the stewardship and we're supposed to be smart enough to be able to facilitate that and to help with this. Over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth. So who wants that? First Corinthians 11 verse seven and somebody else James three nine. James three nine. Okay. So we're made in his likeness. First Corinthians eleven seven? Yeah. I can do that one. For a man indeed not look to cover his head for as much as he is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of man. Oh, boy. That's a can of worms. Oh, sorry about that. Alright. James three Okay. Sorry. I'm just kidding. That man's head is is bring glory unto the Lord. And the woman's hair, long hair, is her covering. Right? Crown. James three nine. I'm sorry. I'm trying. It's okay. You haven't been in a while. I keep going to John and said James. I'm go I'm sorry. No worries. I'm feeling pressure. You get one of those smartphones with the app. You'd be as fast as Debbie there. Cool. Yep. That'll be done. Pretty soon we'll just let AI teach the bible study. No. No. No. You know what the pastors are getting their sermon templates from AI? The whole template, the whole everything. James three nine. I've eaten so far. We're not in a hurry. Okay. Sorry. James three nine. Three nine. Knock there. Therewith, bless we god, even the father, and therewith, curse we men, which are made after the similitude of god. Similitude of God. Similitude. Thank you. So we can bless and we can curse, and the guy you're cursing is made in the similitude of God, made in image likeness of God. Why are you cursing someone made in the similitude and, you know, so the the sanctity of life and the appreciation of being made in the image of God. And so over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth. So God created man, created Gennbara three times here. So God created man in his own image in the image of God created he him, male female created him. So three times used to the word Bara created out of nothing. Who's the guy that Rob has a joke about the dirt? What's your joke, Rob? Rob has a joke. Here we go. This these scientists have determined that they can create life. They scrounged up dirt and in the dirt they're synthesized life from dirt. So as one scientist said, I will challenge God because I can make life just like he did. So he has this challenge with God and says God and says, okay, let's go ahead for it. Okay. And guy got out his jar of dirt and he started to work with it. God says, woah, woah, woah, woah, you bring your own dirt. Right? Yeah. That's funny. That's a good one. I like that. Yeah. What's that? They create your own dirt. That's right. Start with your own dirt. So God created man in his own image. In the image of God created he him, male and female created he them. Now, why is that so important the time which we're living, the distinction of male and female gender? Have you looked around? Well, call it gender chaos. Right? There's a creating of gender chaos. And we come back to this verse and we say, no, he made a male and female. He didn't make a mistake. And so it's so tragic to watch these children again in their formative years being coached by their parents primarily. Somehow it may be a badge for some of these Hollywood people to have a transgendered son or daughter. Don't understand it why it's so prolific among these influencer people, know, and it just breaks my heart to watch it And then to see in Canada and The UK and around the world more and more laws being established in the schools that you as a parent are going to get in trouble if you try to hold back your son and daughter who are then also being coached at school. They're confused about their gender. So they create the chaos and the confusion, even their sexual orientation of a young girl might be being coached in the direction of becoming a lesbian, a little boy coached in the direction of coerced in the direction of being homosexual, of male with male. More and more the argument used to be, well, that person has the gay gene. God made them that way. Have you ever heard that before? They were made that way. God made them that way. And I'm who I'm supposed to be. God made me this way. And here we see that he made it distinctly male and female. It's not an accident. Now then they'll go over to their argument, and I'm not gonna be very good with this argument, but they're going in the realm of animals. That animals that get confused. We don't we don't wanna go there, but apparently oh, let's not even go there. Just disgusting. But, you know my experience has been when we've had animals, had some animals, that the male dogs know their male dog and the female dogs know their female dogs. And nobody needs to give them a class on what gender they are or even sexuality. It seems to be instinctive and they go through a whole thing of going into heat and the whole thing transpires and God developed it in them. But somehow human beings it's too big of a deal and we're all confused about our gender and our sexual orientation. And granted I think some of it is because of the corruption, the sin of the molestation of children, and it causes the wiring and the way that God made them to be skewed and to be hurt and it's gonna take a lot of love and the work of the Holy Spirit to help a person that's been through that sort of evil discover, rediscover who they are and to be able to function in a biblical manner with the help of the Holy Spirit. So there's a lot of degradation and things that break the norm down and then we have to deal with the perversion and things that just are not designed by God for children to experience. And so part of the brainwashing and I don't want to go there but they do a lot of really evil wicked things to hollow the soul of children out to then control them the rest of their lives and it's so incredibly disgusting. So be wise concerning that which is good and simple concerning that which is evil. So there's certain rabbit holes I don't like to go down because I don't know the prophet in it, but I do want a general knowledge. I was thinking today about why Kathy and I have been here for thirty one years in Bremerton, and I believe the reason God sent us here was to simply fight for truth. It has been a battle for truth from day one, and there is so much deception, so much bad teaching, so few teaching people the Bible, and so many different things that have come through the church and through Kitsap County and through this community, but not just here, but all over California, all over the world. And so I believe our role, and this is part of our role, standing strong and saying he made them male and female. And people will get angry about that. And it's Adam and Eve not Steve. Steve's asleep but he made him Adam and Eve not Steve. And so you say that sort of thing and people, the young people are taught in school that, hey you're a bully, you're mean, you're homophobe, that's wrong. I have a friend that's gay. Hey everybody's got a gay friend, you know. All of a sudden it's hip and cool to have a gay friend or a lesbian friend or whatever. So a lot of this stuff you have to stand firm. You can't give into it. In my circle as a pastor, you know, I had a teacher try to convince us when we were in school that there was such a thing as born again lesbians. And he was really pushing that on us. I'm like, no, somebody might be a lesbian and or whatever, just like a murderer or whatever, and come out of that and be saved and be transformed and changed. But we don't continue in an aberrant lifestyle and try to Christianize it. So what I did in that class is I said, well, you guys are promoting the homosexual gene or the lesbian gene that they were made that way. I've got a gene, it's called the murder gene, and I just can't stop murdering. And I'm getting pretty angry right now. And that's hyperbole, but it's trying to illustrate that no part of being a Christian is the fruit of the spirit, which is self control. And we have to resist temptation and to apply what we know to be true. And God will help us along that way even though we may be tempted in some of these areas. But this should be what I would term a no brainer. No brainer. In the animal kingdom they all know if they're male or female. Somehow human beings have lost sight of am I male or am I female? And so the whole gender chaos that the media and the globalists have created is to break down the family and young people and the family is God's idea and procreation is God's idea. And that's why he made them male and female. And I'm understanding, I'm hearing more and more that less and less people are procreating, having babies, less and less some governments are even saying that they'll pay people to get pregnant and have babies, have children, less and less people are wanting to get married, want to remain single, remain celibate. With AI and with pornography and all the other sorts of things, there's a whole lot of a huge trend of people that don't even engage male and female, but instead, you know, in other ways with the technology, the AI and all that. And so they're creating, you know, dolls and robots and all other sorts of toys and things like that. And God kept us simple. He made a male and female created with them. And Peter Thiel just moved down to Argentina with his husband, his wife, a man, and he's the guy that promoted JD Vance to be vice president. They're the guys that promoted Donald Trump and got him into office with the other tech giants, and he's got children. Now those two men can't procreate, but they have children that they put into, you know, a school down there in Argentina and all that. And so that's a perversion. And as children watch that and look at that, when they see a verse like this in the beginning made in male and female and then as we move forward and we see that Eve was created from Adam's side and then God says the two to come together and become one. He's the one that designed marriage. He's the one that designed sex and it's all according to his design. He's the creator and the designer and I feel comfortable. I feel secure in him teaching me his order. The new world order is a chaotic order to break down God's order. And Kathy and I have been in a lot of fights since we've been here as a church. We have stood for truth back in the February, beginning of 2000. We had a fight to resist the purpose driven church. Everybody was moving in the direction of a purpose driven church. Now all these years later it didn't produce a thing. And there's still people that are still in the purpose driven church and it's marketing scam. It's a marketing scheme. It's a dumbing down people and dumbing down they don't get prophecy, don't get the word of God. But Rick Warren was prolific with it and it's a three legged stool. It's the church merging with government and with business. Why can't you see prophetically this is the direction of the one world government, world religious system, one world monetary system? But they don't care because it works. It's effective in filling people up in the church. So we resist it, we expose it, we say it's wrong and people hate us for it but that's our role here. Our role is to resist that. Then the next thing that came along was nineeleven and all that stuff. We resisted it. We exposed it. We know, Building 7 at 05:20 in the evening, you know, and that sort of thing. The Pentagon, I had a lady in the church told me that her uncle was at the Pentagon when the plane crashed into it. A plane did not crash into the Pentagon. There's no debris. All the cameras are shut off. It was a missile. And where did it hit? Donald Rumsfeld said the day before that we're missing $1,200,000,000,000. So what do you hit? You hit a missile into the accounting department. Never talk about it again. And the nineeleven, all kinds of money, enormous amounts of money through push bets and algorithms and computers and stuff. These were financial buildings. And not to mention gold being stored. All of it stolen and a 44 storey building falling into its footprint at 05:20 in the evening. So I still have to listen to pastors refer to Osama bin Laden, and we did the right thing and we had to go after these guys and Israel's in jeopardy, Israel's in danger because what did we learn from nine eleven? Well, nine eleven was a complete false flag, Our own government with the help of Israelis. And I wanna ask this question, who's Marvin Bush? I'm going too far with this, I know. But Marvin Bush is one of the Bush sons who is in charge of all of the security at the Solomon Center, of these various buildings allowing because you don't just take buildings down with airplanes that have small cones that a bird can crush the cone because it's aluminum, right? You don't believe that, right? There's no way a still girder building can burn and melt metal and come down. There has to be thermite. Anyway I'm going too far but when you say this stuff even still today the pastors a lot of them believe the official story and General Casey said that we're gonna invade seven nations over the next five years. Why? Not because they had weapons of mass destruction, because they were not in league with the Bank of International Settlements, in league with the banking system. Same thing happening today. So Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein, these guys were trying to sell oil in something other than the dollar like the dinar or the euro. So they're invaded because the rogue nation's not in conformity to the economic system, so they have to have regime change to bring them into conformity. And the same thing with Iran. Iran presently has not been selling oil in that. So you stand against the lies. You stand for truth. People don't like it because that's not what they're hearing on the official narrative. The whole country is being able to be manipulated in this thing of men aren't men anymore, women aren't women. What could be more basic than male and female in the culture in which I'm living? The children are preyed upon and then they're given over 70 injections. So again Kathy and I stand against the injections, we stand against the COVID lie, we stand against all of that, And before that, here's one that we stood against and now I'm being exonerated finally. We stood against the psychotropic drugs, all the different supposed chemical imbalances and brain problems and all the different things chemically that was wrong with people's brains. And we stood against it and we showed that Peter said we've been given everything we need for life and godliness God's given us. And now, man, like crazy are the pharmaceutical companies being exposed, and even the whole test. I had pastors really mad at me as I said to them, It's not like having diabetes. There's no test to determine your brain chemistry of whether you're low in serotonin or not. It's subjective. And they vote on it each year. The Association of Psychiatrists and all, they vote each year what the new thing's going to be to try and entrap people because therapy is talking to people. It moved away from therapy to chemicals, so pills. Pills are going to make people great. So anyway, the entire ladies ministry, these churches are filled with people, everybody on antidepressant drugs. Do you know what that does to me as a pastor? It makes it so the Holy Spirit's neutral. It makes it so that everything I have to tell you about the Holy Spirit able to give you the joy of the Lord, God's peace that surpasses all understanding you know all the fruit of the spirit it makes it null and void because you're the exception. You're the exception because your doctor said and because your doctor said and now that pill you started on it's not working, now they got you another pill. And then the suicide rates go up. So I'm trying to stand for truth. I'm trying to warn people and there's nothing more basic than male and female. And if you're going to break down male and female, then where does it sit in? And so after the psychotropics and after the COVID then we come into the whole Trump thing and the technocracy and all this. That's why we've been here for thirty one years is to stay with the basics of the Bible. He created them six days. He created them male and female, maybe them. And it's just so basic. I can't believe how the time we're living in that this could even be questioned. How could it even be questioned that God would make a mistake and there's a boy in a body, but he feels like he thinks he's a girl. Who put that in his head? And then you look at the fruit of it all. I met a guy in the shipyard, a gentleman, he converted over to be a woman. And within two, three years, they're so incredibly unhappy and unfulfilled, it didn't work. So I'd like to suggest to him what you're really searching for is Jesus. He's the only one that can fill that void, that emptiness in your life. And so there's no neutral ground on that. It's right, it's wrong, it's black, it's white, it's truth, it's air. And you can't build upon these lies that pretty soon we're gonna have like this doctor guy was trying to convince me in school, born again lesbians. So God blessed them, verse 28. So he crowned them. He crowned Adam and Eve. He crowned the man and the woman. There's no general neutral neutrality. There's gender distinctions. And no matter what kind of laws they try and pass, you're gonna have to stand for the truth, especially when it comes to your kids and your grandkids because they're passing laws more and more that you're gonna be prosecuted if you try to hinder a child from changing their sex. So God blessed them and God said unto them be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. Now my daughter Brittany is trying to do this all by herself and praise the Lord I love having seven grandkids. Can you imagine if we had big families again? Lots of families. A lot of people look down on my daughter in that she has too many kids. Well, who are you to question how many kids or whatever people should have? So I love seeing these families, big families. Kathy told me two was her limit and I respect that. Brittany has seven and who knows, she might have an eighth, don't know. That's between her and the Lord and Wayne. But she definitely is in obedience to God and to fill the earth and to multiply and every single one of my grandkids there's no way I could think I could live without them and God's telling him, so God is pro filling the earth. He's not a Bill Gates, he's not the Georgia Guidestones, he's not a Malthusian eugenicist like Bill Gates and his mother. His mother was a banker. His father was the head of Planned Parenthood. And they ingrained within Bill this depopulation effort. And boy, he is using his billions and billions of dollars to try and depopulate the planet, to reduce the planet. Ted Turner and them, he's dead now. But they determined that 500,000,000 people is the number. Well, that's opposite again. It's opposite of what God's saying. The planet can handle more people. There's a lot of farmland out there. And again, stewardship of using what God's given us, we can produce a lot of food. There doesn't need to be famine. We can have enough water and all that. In the state of California they have a reservoir system that was designed to go seven years without rain. But nutjob politicians take and open the dams and run the water out into the ocean creating a crisis and claiming that this little fish, little guppy that's in the canals is in jeopardy. So we need to let them get out into the ocean so they can repopulate. So now the farmers don't have enough water to farm. Family farms are being wiped out so the conglomerates can come in, the big corporate farms with the Bill Gates and the Chinenes, to buy up all these farms because they don't have water. And then water mysteriously reappears. And that's supposed to be ethical, supposed to be moral, supposed to be the right thing. Interesting, a lot of these family farms have deep aquifers, which are very valuable. And now the Bill Gates and these guys want these farms for their aquifers. Farmers being offered like $27,000,000 for their farms and they say, no, we don't wanna sell. But the data centers, these huge data centers need water for cooling. And so what a mess. What a mess we're in with a world that are being influenced by the devil whose modus operandi is to steal, to kill, to destroy, to go against God's design. And so God said unto them Elohim 32 times in 26 verses of Genesis one. And so God said unto them, be fruitful multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish over the sea over the fowl of the air and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. And so four parts here. Adam's the federal head. Adam, not Lucifer, not the devil. Presently the devil is the little g god of this world, prince of power of the air because of the fall because man fell. But God propped up man, crowned man, not Lucifer, not the devil. He'd be subservient. He's a serpent slithering into the garden to try and beguile Eve, to usurp, to pull away, to steal that federal headship if you will, that authority. And Satan Lucifer has authority because man forfeited it. So we see Jesus in Revelation five doing what? He's got the title deed to the earth. It's a real estate transaction. And he's opening the seal, right? Who's worthy to open the seal, open the scroll, right? And nobody. And they said, don't weep John, the lion of the tribe of Judah, he has prevailed. And so man forfeited but the last Adam, the second Adam, Jesus, he created the earth and then he redeemed the earth and he redeemed it with his own blood so he paid the price. So he spoiled all principalities and powers he triumphed over him. Now Satan when he's tempting Jesus said if you bow down and worship me I'll give you all these kingdoms of the earth. He has the authority to do that at that point but Jesus didn't take the shortcut. He went by way of the cross so that he could purchase you and I. And so we are the top tier of his creation. We're made in the image and likeness of God. So Jesus described it as there's a field there and he went he sold all that he had that he could purchase that field because there was a treasure in that field. That treasure is you and I, the field is the earth. So he gave everything he had to purchase you and I. He's already created you and I. He's already got your name in the Lamb's Book of Life, but in this legal document, this legal, God being a just and a holy God, Satan's got them. You're just and a holy God, you can't just arbitrarily take it away. And so God had a plan of redemption that even the angels didn't understand. They're looking into all curious like, guy of Lucifer and all everybody else got kicked out for being rebellious. What about man? Look how rebellious man is, you know. And when we get to the flood, we get to Genesis six, it repented God that he made man because man, the thought and intents of man's heart were only evil continually. So on the one hand I say God's into production and to grow in the earth. At the flood time he's into population reduction. He's into getting rid of humanity it's starting over right because Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord and Noah was perfect in all of his generations And these sons of God, the fallen angels began to cohabitate with women and produce the Nephilim, the fallen ones. And so Satan's desire when we get to Genesis three fifteen was to corrupt the genome, to corrupt the DNA of man so that when Jesus comes as the babe of Bethlehem would there be a pure human DNA for him to emanate from, to come from. And so he's the seed of the woman, the virgin born son of God. So man is to be fruitful and to multiply and fill the earth. So the posterity, he's a federal head, but he has a posterity of humans that he's supposed to be productive and produce and God's counting on him and to fill the earth. And then his position to subdue it. So you're in a position of authority to subdue the earth so the animals are to come under your authority. You're not subservient to the animal life. You're not subservient and below in the pecking order of the animals and they're to serve you and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air and over everything that moves upon the earth. And so you can take possession, have position, you have posterity, and now he's going to give you a paradise to live in the Garden of Eden. Right? He's given you a paradise and we have this whole argument of I'm the way I am because I came from a dysfunctional family. It means that your family is they're sinners and all of us are sinners and somehow the reason your behavior is you know if you'd had a better family had a better mom and dad then you wouldn't be such a messed up person. But ever since Adam fell every family, every home, Cain slew Abel, right? Every family is a dysfunctional family. Jesus came from a dysfunctional family, right? So there's no excuse there. So the objective is to be a new man in Christ. If any man be in Christ, he's a new creation, the old things have passed away, all things have become new. So he's dominion over the fish of the sea. So again, husbandry, we're gonna use a long line netting, we're gonna capture fish, and we're gonna bring them to market, starkest tuna and sardines and yellowtail and all the wonderful salmon and all the fish of the sea that we love to eat. We're gonna try and keep it as pure and as clean and edible is another good word, as edible as can possibly be. When we talk about natural food, organic food, all these terms, all these different things, the corporations are able to get around it and doesn't mean what it says anymore. We're gonna need to, I believe, to try and stay healthy, we're gonna need to as much as we can service local growers and farmers markets and eggs from your own chickens. That's the best way to survive the poison that the globalists are putting in all the food sources. So multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the fowl of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth. So all of the creation should fear man, that man's at the top. And so if you're gonna go into the area where there's bears, bring a gun, put them down. You want pepper spray? Go with pepper spray. But I'll stay out of his zone. I'll stay out of his area. I don't want to find trouble. But if I'm gonna go into his habitat, his place, I'm gonna have something that can defend me and my family, right? I'm not gonna think that that bear likes me and that I found Yogi Bear or whatever, you know, boo boo, hey boo boo, you know, People are crazy, you know. And so you have the intellect, ability to protect yourself and your family and to have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the fowl of the air and every living thing that moves upon the earth. And God said, Behold I have given you every herb. Now that word is another thing that I had to stand up against. The legislation, making the herb legal, the herb, the marijuana, the whatever. As it becomes legal then the Christians start to think that, Hey, it's legal. I'm not doing anything wrong. I can partake of the herb. Well the Bible calls it pharmakia, it's sorcery. It's a means of altering your brain. And so I had to begin to speak up that if you think you're a Christian and you're still smoking the herb you need to question that, you know, you need to evaluate that because that's something destructive. So the herb spoken of here, and we want to back up, we want to say, Hey, there's a lot of good uses for marijuana with rope and medicine and a lot of different things that can be used for. But for recreational drug purposes, it's gonna be harmful to you and your brain and your children, your family and all. And Kathy educated me, people have been educating me now that the marijuana that my generation was indulging in is far from what the pharmaceutical companies are producing today. It's lethal. It's detrimental. It's harsh. It's hard on you and again everything they do is designed to kill you. It's what they do, they kill you. So every herb bearing seed now which is upon the face of all the earth and every tree. So that's another important point here is we have what's called heirloom seeds. Heirloom seeds are seeds that are not genetically altered and so heirloom seeds reproduce after their kind. So some of you that are gardeners, you know that you take the seeds from this crop and you save them for next year's harvest. Well Roundup and Monsanto and all the big corporations, the future of food was a good video we watched and it described a Canadian farmer with a silo of seed ready for the next harvest, got sued by Monsanto because the genetic seeds that they produced, the pollination process crossed over into this guy's field, and then they analyzed what he was putting into a silo and they said that's our seed you're not allowed to do that. So kind of like your videos that you have. They don't want you to have a video that's yours. You got to rent everything. Everything's in the cloud, right? And so every year you're going to have to rebuy seed from these seed people. And so the globalists know the importance of this. So they have what's called seed vaults. And seed vaults are places where you take heirloom seeds and you store them up for the day, the day when food's going to be scarce and only they will have the original God made heirloom seeds to produce food. Isn't that fascinating? So there's a whole war going on against man. Every tree, so you bearing seed which is upon the face of the earth. So think of the seeds for a minute and you have the pine trees. When the pine tree lets the seeds out of it, the wind catches them and blows them, right? Blows it to an other area. Don't some of them have helicopter type things? They spin and they move over. You're right. And then when you go hiking, your socks get these little seeds that are stuck to your socks and you walk five miles and move those seeds to a different region, right? And when the bears eat the blueberries and they walk a mile away from the berry patch and they relieve themselves, they spread the seeds, right? The seeds get spread. The birds take seeds and fly with them. And so all over God has his invention, his design of seeds that bearing seeds, fruit bearing seeds, vegetable bearing seeds, which is upon the face of all the earth. So you're a farmer, you're a husbandman, you're a person that needs to think about the future and all and so important. And every tree which is in the fruit is the fruit of the tree yielding seed to you it shall be for food. I'm kind of weird, I know that. You can say, yeah, we know. But if you have a food crisis, I don't understand why communities and maybe it's because of the mess, but in the state of Washington here, why wouldn't you line your streets with apple And then everybody could walk along and have apples. When we get to heaven, heaven, the streets are gonna be lined with fruit bearing trees, right? Food source. So if you're going to put money into ornamental type things for the beauty, the flowers and all that, I get that. But you're planting trees everywhere, developing communities. So all I can think of is the peaches fall on the ground and rot or the apples fall on the ground and rot and the city says, We don't want the mess, we don't want the cleanup. But man, it'd sure be good if those of us that are poor could be led into these places and take the fruit home, you know? It'd be a wonderful thing and you're I don't get it. Banana trees, palm trees, all different type of trees bearing food. Food would be the thing. When we went to Hawaii one time, there was a guy there in a van that was selling coconuts on the side of the road and coconut milk and all that. And Kathy and I were like, Ah, that's something. We're on vacation. We gotta try that. We gotta try that. So he pulled over and he was living out of his van and he apparently just climbed up the tree and get the coconuts or go into a field and get the pineapple and he the coconut open and then we paid for it and he put a straw in there. And we drank, I drank the coconut milk with that straw and then we're finished and all of a sudden I see him throw away the coconut thing but he kept the straw. That guy was recycling those straws. Oh, no. I mean, he's a real environmentalist. Right? A real capitalist. And and I thought wow wow that's that's pretty heavy man. Give me a joint. So every herb bearing seed is upon the face of all the earth and every tree and which is in the fruit yielding seed to you it shall be for food. So man's a vegan, a vegetarian, huge argument, vegan, carnivore, know whatever. Whatever works for your body, you know figure out what works and listen to your body. But as I'm listening, trying to listen, they're really pushing protein, that we need a lot of protein. So there's animal protein and there's plant protein, pea protein from the peas and all, but in this case, they don't need any protein from animals. This food is so rich, so dense, so vitamin rich and dense that it's going to sustain them and no animals need to die. And I'm wondering, you able to talk to the animals at this point? The serpent talked to Eve, right? How fascinating that would be to talk to a sheep or talk to some of them, have our kids go and talk to them, petting zoo and they talk to you. Hi, Wilbur. And every beast of the earth, remember Mr. Ed? Right. And every beast of the earth and every fowl of the air and every thing that creeps upon the earth wherein there is a life, I have given every green herb for food and it was so. So the animals, the animals are herbivores they're able to eat the grass and God sustaining them and some carnivores say well I am a vegan I eat cows that eat grass you know. So there you go. And then so this is pre fall and God saw everything that he had made and behold it was very good. Very, Not just good but very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. So Exodus twenty eleven will tell you six days He made it, right? He wrote that down. Exodus twenty eleven. Now one last thing what's missing? What's missing? Notice chapter two verse 18. He said it's good. It's very good. But notice chapter two verse 18. What's that one? And the Lord God said it is not good. He just said it's very good and it's not good that man should be alone. Laura called Thomas the other night at eleven at night. Not good for Thomas to be alone that the man should be alone. I will make him a help fit for him. You better fill the wallet. Don't get that one. Alright. So not good for men to be alone. We'll look at that next week. God creating woman from the side of man and it was good, it was very good. On the sixth day, the seventh day we're gonna see the Sabbath rest and God prepares Eden for Adam and Eve, the tree of life and knowledge of good and evil and all the trees to eat from and then man is incomplete. Man's incomplete without a helpmate, without woman and none of the animals that Adam's gonna name are a suitable helpmate. Right? And then God brought forth put Adam to sleep, gave him the anesthesia, and Adam went into a deep sleep and God took from not just the rib bone, the Hebrew doesn't mean the rib, but from his side and why not his foot? Why not from his head? What? So men wouldn't walk upon her right? So that she would be head over him but from his side that she'd walk beside him. Right? Right Rochelle? Right, okay and to compliment so we're getting ahead of ourselves but next week the Lord puts a lot of us he puts opposites together we're young and we're thinking I need to find someone that's just like me that wants to do everything I want to do well God gives you many in many cases opposites so that each of us are dying to self Not that we don't have some interests but if you want to do everything you want to do when you want to do it you better remain single. Being single you can be as selfish as you want. You're gonna get married, marriage is death to self. You're gonna die. And as you die Christ is gonna live through you and so areas that you're weak in your wife's gonna be strong in in many cases areas that she's weak in you're going to be strong and so there's a complimenting the two come together as one and you're better for it right you're better Kathy's made me better right my better half Alright so getting ahead of ourselves but there you go. So let's pray. Father we come before you Lord we don't have it figured out marriage is a mystery but Lord we thank you that it's your ideal it's your it's your design and Paul he saw better to be single And so for some people Lord their ideal is to remain single. But in the case, the general case, the general consensus of man is that he's incomplete without woman, one woman's incomplete without her husband. And Lord we thank you that as we're moving forward it depicts our marriage with you our relationship with you the home the family the children thank you Lord for your design thank you for what you have created and what you have purposed Lord and we pray Lord that we would continue to fight for truth these such basic truths that are under attack that a male that a female that of marriage that of the earth being round such basic basic basic truths under attack today Lord and we pray that we just stay with the word of God and not speculate not cower not compromise and and just stand true stand true to your word Lord we pray that we could glorify you in that way that we not dishonor you by bowing down to the lies of men to the lies of the wicked one in Jesus name we pray Amen. And yeah can you pray for my wound care appointments that every time I go get better and better and better. All right let's pray Father we lift up Thomas and we thank for Doctor. Richard and other doctors and nurses that are able to help Thomas with his wounds and we Lord we pray that you would take these ulcerating wounds and cause them to heal up and for Thomas to have a clean bill of health with no infections or anything and just bless him and bless him with his friend Laura let him have great Christian fellowship and Lord we just thank you for the body of Christ we thank you that we're a family and we thank you Lord that you're the head of this family and Lord we desire to glorify you help us to love one another in Jesus name amen
