Speaker 1: I tell you why I love this church.
Speaker 1: I wasn't even familiar with this church until a couple weeks ago, never met your founding pastor, your senior pastor.
Speaker 1: I love this church.
Speaker 1: Let me just give you the raw statistics.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why I love this church.
Speaker 1: There are 320,000 Protestant churches in America.
Speaker 1: Doesn't include the Catholic churches, another 20,000, but 320,000 Protestant churches in America.
Speaker 1: How many of those are left-wing liberal who, by self-definition, do not necessarily preach the Word of God?
Speaker 1: The answer is 72%.
Speaker 1: Well, there's 28% that do.
Speaker 1: That's 100,000.
Speaker 1: Of those 100,000, how many have actual biblical worldview?
Speaker 1: The answer is not known exactly.
Speaker 1: We do know that only 8% of the people in the pew have a distinctly biblical worldview.
Speaker 1: Go to millennials.
Speaker 1: 4%, 4 out of 100, have a biblical worldview.
Speaker 1: We don't know how many pastors have a biblical worldview, like you just heard, perhaps 15,000, 20,000, I hope 30,000.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that would be true, that explanation of ecclesia.
Speaker 1: I doubt if one to two percent of American churches have had that proclaimed from the pulpit.
Speaker 1: The clarity of what you just heard, dear pastor.
Speaker 1: So I just so appreciate, james, I appreciate your leadership staff here and where you stand as a congregation, and then, once again, those of you that are in elective office or running for office.
Speaker 1: Raise your hand one more time.
Speaker 1: I want to see it myself.
Speaker 1: Kind of wave your hands, praise God for you.
Speaker 1: It takes courage, tremendous courage, to do this and, if you don't mind, hanging around the book table a little bit so people can meet you and know who you are, we just want to applaud you there in a personal sense.
Speaker 1: There's a scripture I'm going to launch with tonight, and that's Psalm 33, verse 12.
Speaker 1: That is blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.
Speaker 1: If that's true which it is then the opposite is true.
Speaker 1: Cursed is the nation whose God is not the Lord.
Speaker 1: Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.
Speaker 1: It's God who thought of government.
Speaker 1: It's God who had this whole idea about establishing nations, and he loves nations, he cares about nations, he has destinies for nations.
Speaker 1: He wants nations to fulfill the calling and the role upon them.
Speaker 1: There was a famous pastor who became the prime minister of the Netherlands.
Speaker 1: He's quoted often in.
Speaker 1: This famous quote by Abraham Kuyper goes like this there is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is sovereign over all, does not cry mine.
Speaker 1: Now that flies in the face of those who take the position that well, I just preached Jesus.
Speaker 1: I don't want to be involved in the political or governmental.
Speaker 1: I just preached Jesus.
Speaker 1: I say, wait a minute, I preached Jesus.
Speaker 1: I preached this morning.
Speaker 1: I gave an invitation to receive Christ At the end of that another church across the city.
Speaker 1: But I don't just preach Jesus, I preach what Jesus preached, I preach the kingdom, and the kingdom has a king and the king is over everything.
Speaker 1: I've met with 12 heads of state.
Speaker 1: I've only met with one king.
Speaker 1: I've met with presidents and prime ministers, but all the presidents and prime ministers.
Speaker 1: They can come and go.
Speaker 1: The king is the king.
Speaker 1: He's not up for election in two years or four years, he's around for a while.
Speaker 1: What's a king over?
Speaker 1: The answer is everything, and King Jesus is over everything.
Speaker 1: Some people's Bible apparently reads go into all the world except politics, go into all the world except government.
Speaker 1: And what do they do?
Speaker 1: They turn it over to others.
Speaker 1: And guess what kind of people?
Speaker 1: They turn it over to the people who are not walking.
Speaker 1: I was speaking in one country recently and I asked this actually has happened in two different countries.
Speaker 1: And I asked how many of you know an elected official, the people who represent you.
Speaker 1: This is a fairly sizable group, not one person.
Speaker 1: I was invited to speak on the biblical principles of governance in that country and all the people in this conference not one person had met one elected official.
Speaker 1: They said, well, we don't do that.
Speaker 1: I said, well, let me tell you who is meeting with your elected officials.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you what your elected officials are being told right now, while you're not meeting with them.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you who is meeting exactly with your elected officials are being told right now, while you're not meeting with them.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you who is meeting exactly with your elected officials right now.
Speaker 1: Now in America, right now, we are facing a crisis.
Speaker 1: Everybody here knows that.
Speaker 1: Even people who don't share our values actually understand that America is in a crisis position right now.
Speaker 1: We've had some great shakings obviously, the Revolutionary War, civil War, world War I, world War II but the most turbulent sociological period in recent times was 1968.
Speaker 1: Some of us, a few of us, are actually old enough in this room to remember 1968, highly turbulent period.
Speaker 1: But we moved into another one, starting March of 2020.
Speaker 1: And this country is unrecognizable from what it was of March of 2020 till now.
Speaker 1: There's all kinds of things I could not imagine.
Speaker 1: I could not figure out before March of 2020.
Speaker 1: Now I don't ask myself those questions.
Speaker 1: I used to wonder how could a world government come about, a one world government?
Speaker 1: I see now.
Speaker 1: How could America disappear and not be mentioned in prophecy?
Speaker 1: I see now, march of 2020 changed everything.
Speaker 1: Now, what it does to those of you that are walking in the power of Jesus Christ and filled with the Holy Spirit, it offers you an opportunity unlike what you have ever had before.
Speaker 1: First, to your families Deuteronomy 6, to teach your children and work with your children to understand the basics and elementary aspects of the biblical application to governmental life.
Speaker 1: They're not going to learn it anywhere else.
Speaker 1: This is an unbelievable opportunity.
Speaker 1: Deuteronomy, chapter 6, move the slide ahead, if you would, to that scripture.
Speaker 1: And then, secondly, to begin to give an answer to your neighbors and friends.
Speaker 1: 1 Peter, chapter 3, be ready always to give an answer to those things.
Speaker 1: Can we move the slides ahead?
Speaker 1: The slides need to move at least a couple ahead right now.
Speaker 1: Is that a possibility?
Speaker 1: Someone help me out on that one.
Speaker 1: Thank you for doing that.
Speaker 1: Several years ago, george Barna, I was in a conversation with George Barna.
Speaker 1: He's the pollster and he told me something that he had just discovered.
Speaker 1: That really was shocking.
Speaker 1: I could tell in his countenance it wasn't good.
Speaker 1: And I said what did you discover?
Speaker 1: He had just surveyed pastors.
Speaker 1: Now the first part of the survey is actually good.
Speaker 1: 90% of pastors agreed the Bible speaks to the cultural, social, political issues of our day.
Speaker 1: But when he asked how many of you as pastors will speak on the social, cultural, political issues today, 90% said they would not.
Speaker 1: Why is that?
Speaker 1: Why would that be possible?
Speaker 1: I mean, it's kind of the chase.
Speaker 1: Your bold pastor that was up here a moment ago.
Speaker 1: He knows there are churches across town.
Speaker 1: I've never I don't know about the churches in your city, but I know a lot about the church in your city just by virtue of what I know nationally.
Speaker 1: And as there's pastors who will not speak on the issues where they worship at the altar of nickels, noses and numbers, and if you worship at that altar and that's the fundamental demarcation for you of accolades you want then you'll be silent about the biblical issues and the sin and the unrighteousness in our culture.
Speaker 1: So consequently, the blood is on the hands of those bashers.
Speaker 1: But it goes further.
Speaker 1: Barnabas, the next year, did research from people in the pew and they said do you speak out on the issues?
Speaker 1: They said, no, we do not.
Speaker 1: Now I thought they would say we don't speak out on the issues because we're afraid afraid to be called homophobe or transphobe or Islamophobe or xenophobe or some phobe.
Speaker 1: That's what I thought they'd say.
Speaker 1: They didn't.
Speaker 1: What they said is we don't speak out on the issues because we watch this, do not know what to say.
Speaker 1: Something exploded within me why are they not being taught?
Speaker 1: It's not coming from the pulpit to the pew telling them what does the Scripture say about these issues?
Speaker 1: And so, as a consequence, I wrote a book called Well-Versed.
Speaker 1: Well-versed is a book that he's already referred to.
Speaker 1: I wrote it clear back in 2016, and it laid out the biblical principles to 30 political topics.
Speaker 1: At that time.
Speaker 1: However, that was then.
Speaker 1: This is now Eight years have passed.
Speaker 1: It is astounding how many issues we're dealing with now, the words we didn't even know eight years ago, things we're dealing with.
Speaker 1: So, consequently, I've written a book Reversed Reversed, he referred to a moment ago, and Reversed is like a dictionary or an encyclopedia of 60 different political topics.
Speaker 1: You can read this on the screen faster than what I can read them, so you can see it there and it lays out the biblical foundations to these 60 political topics.
Speaker 1: Now the book is intimidating.
Speaker 1: The average person doesn't want to read a book of 500 pages.
Speaker 1: We're told, as authors don't have a book go more than 250 pages.
Speaker 1: 300, that's about max.
Speaker 1: People are too intimidating.
Speaker 1: If this was supposed to be that length then I just couldn't get the thing shut off in time, so it ended up at 500 pages.
Speaker 1: But it's not a book you have to read from start to finish.
Speaker 1: It's a book that you can go to at any point.
Speaker 1: It's an encyclopedia of topics so you can read in any order you want, based upon the conversation you're having with somebody at that particular time.
Speaker 1: Now, if the book is a thick book, so it's pricey.
Speaker 1: It's a $27 retail post it comes at $30.
Speaker 1: That's too much.
Speaker 1: I don't want you paying that.
Speaker 1: What I do want you to do is to buy a case and I asked the Lord for help on this.
Speaker 1: I asked God if you'll help me, I'll blow away the profit if you'll help me get this book to so many people that it actually can move the needle at least a little bit in this next election by teaching people to think biblically and scripturally so they'll invite Jesus into the voting booth.
Speaker 1: So we dropped the price down to six bucks per book.
Speaker 1: If you will buy a case and we have them available by the case, get them to your children, get them to your grandchildren, get them to your neighbors, your co-workers, your friends, get them to all elected officials you possibly can.
Speaker 1: You mentioned Steve Toth, pastor.
Speaker 1: You know this morning Steve bought a bunch of cases to give to every member of the state legislature Texas state legislature to give to every member of the state legislature, texas state legislature and he listed a bunch of other state officials too, a whole bunch.
Speaker 1: He's going to get them too.
Speaker 1: In fact, on my book Well-Versed, we hand-delivered it to all 535 offices of all members of Congress.
Speaker 1: On the book Well-Versed when it came out.
Speaker 1: And then we had teams thanks to a lady by the name of Tran Reese who helped me teams in 50 state capitals that hand-delivered the book to all 7,383 state legislators across America.
Speaker 1: Now we've got to try to do something similar to that once again, if we can possibly get the funds and get the teams all back together to do that.
Speaker 1: But the goal is to get the reverse out to as many as we possible.
Speaker 1: The purpose of this book is to drive you to the book, because the book has the answers.
Speaker 1: Christians all understand that the Bible speaks to the personal issues of life.
Speaker 1: They get that To the family issues of life.
Speaker 1: They get that To church or congregational issues.
Speaker 1: They get that To the family issues of life.
Speaker 1: They get that To church or congregational issues.
Speaker 1: They get that.
Speaker 1: But what is unaware about?
Speaker 1: 1% of people are aware the Christians that the Bible speaks to the civil governance issues.
Speaker 1: It wasn't like God wrote the book and then went oh my goodness, I forgot about this whole government thing.
Speaker 1: The fact is, he's so loving, he's so tender, he's so caring, he's so wise that he actually put a book together for us how government is supposed to function and when a community, a state, a nation functions.
Speaker 1: That way, tranquility and peace comes upon the nation.
Speaker 1: Show me a country where the people are all starving, they can't get clean water.
Speaker 1: I'll show you a nation that's violating the biblical principles of governance.
Speaker 1: To the extent a nation will violate biblical principles of governance, to that extent the people, human pain, suffering and poverty will increase.
Speaker 1: To the extent a nation will honor the biblical principles of governance to that extent.
Speaker 1: To that extent they will reduce human pain, suffering and poverty Now.
Speaker 1: So I want to make it available to you.
Speaker 1: By the way, we also have a couple of things he mentioned.
Speaker 1: My wife's been to Israel in a few days It'll be her 77th trip and she has these biblical calendars.
Speaker 1: This is a Gregorian calendar, but overlaid with it is the Jewish calendar or the calendar of our Lord, what Jesus followed, and these are available, immensely popular.
Speaker 1: People love those.
Speaker 1: And then I brought along another book that's kind of unrelated, but this is a book on heaven.
Speaker 1: I wrote two books on heaven and then my publisher put the two together and called it the Heaven and the Afterlife Collection.
Speaker 1: So this is two books in one, 500 pages, and I think we're selling this.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, check back there, but I think we're selling this just for $5.
Speaker 1: You can get this book.
Speaker 1: It's a very, very popular book Understanding what Heaven Is Like, hell Is Like, et cetera, and many of the topics having to do with the afterlife.
Speaker 1: It's available back there as well.
Speaker 1: I just want to take you back to what I said earlier.
Speaker 1: The subtitle of this book is from culturally woke to biblically awake.
Speaker 1: We didn't even know the word woke a few years ago.
Speaker 1: Now it's been around since 1930s.
Speaker 1: It actually was first in print in 1962.
Speaker 1: Oh, by the way, go ahead and bring that coloring book up.
Speaker 1: Thank you for running that past me.
Speaker 1: I forgot about that.
Speaker 1: Go back one if you would Go back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there we go Now.
Speaker 1: Go back one more, in fact.
Speaker 1: Now here's the children's coloring book.
Speaker 1: We have a children's coloring book that goes with it.
Speaker 1: So in that children's coloring book it has pages in their numbered so that like page 13 goes with chapter 13 in the book, so you can teach your children age-appropriate issues.
Speaker 1: It matches the adult book as you read it.
Speaker 1: And that's available by going to reversedorg.
Speaker 1: I don't have those with me tonight.
Speaker 1: I wish I did, but reversedorg has those coloring books and the youth book as well.
Speaker 1: The youth book's not quite done.
Speaker 1: The coloring book is now available.
Speaker 1: But let's go back to this word woke.
Speaker 1: We didn't even know the word woke a few years ago.
Speaker 1: It's only in the last four years we started using it.
Speaker 1: Let me just cut through the chase.
Speaker 1: What is woke?
Speaker 1: I have a whole chapter on what is woke, how to come about, what's the word actually mean, but I can just summarize the chapter in two sentences Woke is sin, woke is heresy.
Speaker 1: There now you can skip that chapter.
Speaker 1: Now you know everything you need to know about that chapter and let me tell you about some woke kind of heresies that are functioning in our US Capitol.
Speaker 1: We had the privilege of starting worship.
Speaker 1: I'm just so proud of you doing the worship services in the Texas Capitol and now other states Way to go.
Speaker 1: That is absolutely awesome.
Speaker 1: We had the privilege of starting them in the US Capitol in 2014.
Speaker 1: Now there were worship services in the US Capitol from 1800 to 1869.
Speaker 1: Thomas Jefferson used to attend those.
Speaker 1: By the way, they were held in the statuary hall of the Capitol.
Speaker 1: We had the privilege of starting some weekly worship services back in 2014.
Speaker 1: But let me give you an example of woke thinking, or I would call it heresy.
Speaker 1: In Washington DC, even among some of the good, evangelical, godly members of Congress, there's a type of thinking that's broken out, that is very, very dangerous, and it goes like this so long as we pray together, which they do before we go out on the floor to vote, we will vote differently, but we pray together.
Speaker 1: Now that sounds good at first faith.
Speaker 1: There's a problem If you pray together.
Speaker 1: The purpose of prayer is to align yourself with the Word, the will and the way of God.
Speaker 1: That's why the essence of prayer is thy will be done when On earth, like what Like it is in heaven.
Speaker 1: The purpose of prayer is to align ourself with His will and act out His will.
Speaker 1: But there's Democrats and Republicans that pride themselves we pray together and we go back out and we vote differently.
Speaker 1: So one will go out and vote differently for killing babies in the womb, the other one won't, and they think that's prayer.
Speaker 1: I call that heresy.
Speaker 1: There's another vote.
Speaker 1: They'll say well, we pray together, but then we go out and vote and one will vote for cutting off little boys' privates and calling them a girl.
Speaker 1: That is not prayer, that's a heresy.
Speaker 1: There's another functioning heresy, woke issue and that is this is very prominent in Washington DC.
Speaker 1: It's been around for about 15 years and it's very strong and so well, we're just here in the Spirit of Jesus Sounds good because that phrase, spirit of Jesus, actually comes out of the book of Acts.
Speaker 1: I like the phrase we're in the Spirit of Jesus.
Speaker 1: First time I heard that well, that's good.
Speaker 1: But then I found out what it meant is not good.
Speaker 1: We're here in the spirit of Jesus.
Speaker 1: That means you know, you're Muslim, you're Hindu, you're Buddhist, but we're all just here in the spirit of Jesus and the implication is we're all, we love God and we love each other.
Speaker 1: We're just here in the spirit of Jesusesus.
Speaker 1: What's gone in that view of jesus?
Speaker 1: What's gone is the jesus who was born of a virgin, who lived a sinless life, was crucified, buried, crucified for our sins.
Speaker 1: The word repentance and sin never comes up in those conversations.
Speaker 1: Buried, resurrected, ascended and is coming to earth as judge.
Speaker 1: That Jesus is never mentioned.
Speaker 1: We're just here in this kind of ooey-gooey spirit of Jesus.
Speaker 1: We've encountered this in a number of countries Most recently.
Speaker 1: I won't mention the nation, it's just simply.
Speaker 1: We've encountered it in quite a number of nations.
Speaker 1: It has spread from Washington DC like a poison.
Speaker 1: There's another word.
Speaker 1: We didn't use the word social justice warrior, that phrase a few years ago.
Speaker 1: If your kid goes off to a college and you send them to a Christian college and you looked on the website and said it's a Christian college, but then he came home first semester break, at Thanksgiving time, you hear your kid start using phrases you've never heard before and he's responding to some different ways.
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, we didn't raise you like that.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm a social justice warrior.
Speaker 1: Well, what is that?
Speaker 1: It sounds good because the term social justice in its original usage was actually probably pretty noble, but it's been corrupted and contaminated.
Speaker 1: It's basically Marxism.
Speaker 1: Now we do care.
Speaker 1: God has His favorites.
Speaker 1: His favorites are widows, orphans and the poor legitimately poor.
Speaker 1: God does care deeply about the widow, the orphan and the poor and consequently, because God cares, we should do and we do.
Speaker 1: But a social justice warrior is actually founded in Marxism.
Speaker 1: If you have something and I don't have it, I want it.
Speaker 1: It's built on envy.
Speaker 1: The first sin was not Lucifer's first sin was not pride, and pride is not the foundation of all our sins.
Speaker 1: The first sin and the foundation of all sins is envy.
Speaker 1: I want what's not mine.
Speaker 1: That's what Lucifer wanted, that's why it made the top 10, thou shalt not covet.
Speaker 1: And so a social justice warrior?
Speaker 1: If you have your kid coming home from college and they're spouting that off, you sit with them and explain to them what a biblical justice understanding is of culture, or your pastor was just here on this platform a moment ago, james, I am sure in the community, from time to time he's been accused of being a Christian nationalist.
Speaker 1: If he hasn't, I assure you he will be.
Speaker 1: I'm on a watch list.
Speaker 1: You're on a watch list, my kind of guy.
Speaker 1: It means God's watching over you is what that watch list means.
Speaker 1: He's accused of being a Christian nationalist.
Speaker 1: If you take a stand today biblically, oh, you're a Christian nationalist.
Speaker 1: And that's all done for one reason to bully and intimidate you not to be active.
Speaker 1: It's to silence you, it's to muzzle you, it's to keep you from voting, speaking out and being involved.
Speaker 1: That's the whole goal of it and unfortunately, they succeed sometimes.
Speaker 1: Now, when someone says, oh, you're a Christian nationalist, you need to turn to them and say, really, what is that?
Speaker 1: What is it?
Speaker 1: What would you prefer?
Speaker 1: Rather than me being a Christian nationalist, would you rather I be an atheist globalist?
Speaker 1: Would you be happier with that if I was an atheist globalist?
Speaker 1: Let's talk about globalism for just a moment.
Speaker 1: Where's globalism in Scripture?
Speaker 1: Genesis, chapter 11, the Tower of Babel.
Speaker 1: That was the first round of globalism.
Speaker 1: We're going to hear a lot more about globalism.
Speaker 1: The Antichrist in Revelation the Antichrist.
Speaker 1: The spirit of globalism is always the spirit of Antichrist.
Speaker 1: Revelation the Antichrist the spirit of globalism is always the spirit of Antichrist.
Speaker 1: The reason Donald Trump is hated is not for mean tweets.
Speaker 1: It's not for all this other stuff.
Speaker 1: He's hated for one reason.
Speaker 1: I said this back in 2016, and I didn't even fully understand it when I first said it.
Speaker 1: He's hated because he's an anti-globalist.
Speaker 1: He's coming against, really, the spirit of Antichrist.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he fully understands that Now.
Speaker 1: I know he's read my comments on it.
Speaker 1: He actually let me know that he had, but he is hated because he's standing against that.
Speaker 1: The only one world government I support is when Jesus comes back and he rules over everything.
Speaker 1: That day will come.
Speaker 1: Let me just walk you through some recent news Now.
Speaker 1: Are you hearing me okay?
Speaker 1: On the volume, if the volume could be raised a little bit, I feel like I'm pushing my voice astray from speaking too many times.
Speaker 1: So thank you, that helps.
Speaker 1: I'll speak a little softer and let the PA system do the work for me.
Speaker 1: Let me just give you an update.
Speaker 1: My wife and I were in Geneva, switzerland.
Speaker 1: It was the 1st of June.
Speaker 1: The World Health Assembly, part of the World Health Organization, a very corrupted organization, was having their meeting right then.
Speaker 1: A group of doctors, many of whom have lost their licenses because they believe in medical freedom and they were saving lives during COVID but they didn't play the party narrative from the governments of the various countries they were from were in a meeting.
Speaker 1: We met with them in the meeting.
Speaker 1: Then we went to a huge assembly against what they were trying to pass and then marched the streets.
Speaker 1: As a part of it.
Speaker 1: The World Health Organization has what's called the Pandemic Treaty.
Speaker 1: Some of you are already savvy and you know where I'm going.
Speaker 1: You're fully aware of this.
Speaker 1: The Pandemic Treaty is being followed by our current occupant in the White House.
Speaker 1: Now a treaty is supposed to go through the Senate and supposed to have a two-thirds vote.
Speaker 1: He's bypassed the Senate and saying no, this is an agreement, so I can enter into it.
Speaker 1: The problem with this pandemic agreement or treaty is that it usurps the sovereignty of 193 nations and puts the power in the hands of a man by the name of Tedros.
Speaker 1: 193 nations and puts the power in the hands of a man by the name of Tedros.
Speaker 1: This is dangerous.
Speaker 1: By the way, he gets to decide what a pandemic is A pandemic can be not only illness or sickness.
Speaker 1: A pandemic can be climate change.
Speaker 1: A pandemic can be guns.
Speaker 1: That means Texas is in a perpetual pandemic.
Speaker 1: A pandemic can be infodemic.
Speaker 1: What's infodemic?
Speaker 1: Malinformation, misinformation and disinformation based upon what they define to be misinformation.
Speaker 1: We have to stop and silence these people who are speaking out against us Now.
Speaker 1: That is going forward at a very rapid pace.
Speaker 1: The World Health Organization is under the United Nations.
Speaker 1: It's in Geneva, switzerland.
Speaker 1: Now, in addition to that, not to be outdone, the mother organization, united Nations and I mentioned we had a small ministry there.
Speaker 1: Our ministry is not large, but we've had the privilege of meeting privately with 93 of the 193 ambassadors at the United Nations in New York City.
Speaker 1: The United Nations, three weeks ago today, had the summit of the future, the summit of the future, in which they approved the PAC, p-a-c-t PAC of the future.
Speaker 1: The PAC of the future says that the Secretary General, antonio Guterres, can, in the event of one of seven.
Speaker 1: They call them global shocks.
Speaker 1: You can go online and read their writings global shocks they can exert influence, control the nations of the earth.
Speaker 1: Now one might say, well, they don't have the teeth to do it yet, they don't have the armies.
Speaker 1: Well, yet may be true, but this is unfortunately where we have come.
Speaker 1: You add to that the legal arm of the United Nations.
Speaker 1: The United Nations has a legal arm in a city called the Hague.
Speaker 1: The Hague is in the Netherlands.
Speaker 1: The legal arm is the International Court of Justice 15 justices.
Speaker 1: My wife and I were just there in that city protesting what they were about to do.
Speaker 1: We were there in July.
Speaker 1: What they were about to do in their treatment of Israel In that same city is the International Criminal Court.
Speaker 1: Now Trump took us out of the organization, thank God, when the International Criminal Court was going to start prosecuting our military men and women in various parts of the world, accusing them of crimes.
Speaker 1: So he got us out of that, but many nations are still members of that Now.
Speaker 1: The International Criminal Court is not technically a part of the United Nations, as I understand it, but the criminal court for the world declared Benjamin Netanyahu a genocidal criminal.
Speaker 1: So if he goes to any nation of the world that belongs to the ICC, he can be arrested and put in prison and tried.
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, the International Court of Justice, with 15 justices, was voting in July, because that's where nations go to resolve differences.
Speaker 1: A third party can bring a lawsuit South Africa which had nothing to do with the Hamas-Israel ongoing controversy, a war.
Speaker 1: They filed suit against Israel, so it went to this body, our task.
Speaker 1: There were 800 of us there, from 48 nations, in a roll call of nations proclaiming don't put your hand on Israel.
Speaker 1: God will take care of you if you do that.
Speaker 1: We knew we were tipped off, how the vote was going to go and it was going to be disastrous, so we came with a redemptive, prophetic warning you will pay a deep price from God if you mess with Israel in this bigger way.
Speaker 1: It was going to be a 14 to 1 vote with only one person voting properly.
Speaker 1: What ended up was 11 to 4, still a terrible vote, but it was a bit encouraging that at least four people saw the truth on this bigger issue.
Speaker 1: But the condemnation of Israel is a whole other arena that we could go into I'd love to talk about, but I'm going to pull it back right now to America and the issue of globalism and that we are moving into a time of tyrannical authoritarianism like we have never seen.
Speaker 1: March of 2020 changed all the rules.
Speaker 1: Once they took control during COVID, they did not count on the trucker strike protest up in Canada.
Speaker 1: There's a number of things they did not count on.
Speaker 1: The farmers protest all across Europe, if you have followed that, where they are taking the land of the farmers, they're forcing them to reduce their cow herds by 50% immediately In many countries, ireland included, and farmers have risen up.
Speaker 1: And if you see, follow it online with thousands of tractors arriving into large cities with, of all things, I come from the farms of Kansas corn and wheat, cattle and hogs, so I know this a little bit growing up on that.
Speaker 1: They come into town with their incredible electronically advanced tractors but attached to them is manure spreaders and they're spreading manure all over the buildings, shooting on the government building.
Speaker 1: A little tough sight to see.
Speaker 1: For sure, I've never had an audience clap for manure before.
Speaker 1: Now let me give you a little bit of hope in the midst of this, some light in this horrific darkness.
Speaker 1: Let me take you into the United Nations.
Speaker 1: How many have been to the United Nations building?
Speaker 1: Anybody been in there?
Speaker 1: Okay, a couple of you have been.
Speaker 1: When you go into, it's called the Secretariat.
Speaker 1: It's a tall, looks like a cereal box shape, tall, slender building, narrow building.
Speaker 1: As you go in and you're walking south to enter in the north doors to your left, a few feet away by the East River, is a statue.
Speaker 1: That statue is a sword that's being pounded into a plowshare, quoting Isaiah, chapter 2, and Micah, chapter 4, parallel passages.
Speaker 1: What's amazing about that statue?
Speaker 1: It's built on the passage that the only peace we'll ever have will have to come from the Messiah himself.
Speaker 1: In other words, that statue's in front of the United Nations that's supposed to bring peace.
Speaker 1: The United Nations is an anti-God, anti-bible, anti-jesus place, but they're not going to be able to bring peace.
Speaker 1: They have a statue in front of them telling the only peace is going to come when Jesus himself returns and is the Messiah.
Speaker 1: He's ruling and reigning, and then peace will break out, and then we'll study war no more.
Speaker 1: That passage says that the people are going to stream up Now you think of streaming down, but they're going to stream up to Zion Where's Zion, jerusalem, and they will learn the law of God, the Torah, the teaching of God, god Himself.
Speaker 1: All law and all truth is going to flow from Zion, from the Torah, from the teaching.
Speaker 1: That's what all truth is going to flow from Zion, from the Torah, from the teaching.
Speaker 1: That's what governmental truth is going to be that will eventually usher in the peace.
Speaker 1: So this institution that is anti-scriptural and anti-God, here, right in front of it, has this statue affirming that the peace will come through the Messiah's reign.
Speaker 1: But what is most amazing is the country that gave it, that gave it to the United Nations, is officially an atheistic nation.
Speaker 1: The Soviet Union gave the statue.
Speaker 1: The nation that doesn't believe there's a God and doesn't believe in the Bible gave a statue based upon Scripture from Isaiah 2 and presented it to the United Nations.
Speaker 1: And guess when?
Speaker 1: 1959.
Speaker 1: What was that?
Speaker 1: That was the very peak of the Cold War If some of you are old enough in this room when Khrushchev was pounding on the table saying we will bury you.
Speaker 1: That's the time that the Soviet Union, an atheist nation, gave a statue based on Scripture telling that Jesus only is the one who's going to bring peace.
Speaker 1: Now let's walk around the building a little bit more.
Speaker 1: That's at the northeast corner.
Speaker 1: Let's not go in and let's go out on First Avenue.
Speaker 1: Walk south on First Avenue, cross over First Avenue and there is a large concave wall, the Ralph Bunche Wall, and it's about maybe 30 feet across, maybe 20 feet high, and it's called the Isaiah Wall.
Speaker 1: It's the same exact passage.
Speaker 1: So the United Nations is parametered by Scripture, declaring that only the Messiah, when he comes, can do what the United Nations is trying to do.
Speaker 1: Oh, but there's more.
Speaker 1: Walk in with me, turn to your right.
Speaker 1: There's the Mark Chagall stained glass window.
Speaker 1: What is it?
Speaker 1: Based on Isaiah 9, 6.
Speaker 1: What is that?
Speaker 1: That the government will be on his shoulders.
Speaker 1: It's a declaration that Jesus has all authority.
Speaker 1: That's the building.
Speaker 1: I'll go with me a little bit further.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the security, the net, where the security council meets, arguably the most important room in the whole building, the whole complex.
Speaker 1: Five members of the permanent and in 12 that are voted and change the security council.
Speaker 1: You go into that room and there, as you walk in, where all the members of the Security Council meet, there, on the back wall, you see this massive mural.
Speaker 1: It may be 20 feet high, maybe 25.
Speaker 1: It's enormous.
Speaker 1: And what is it In this building that is run and controlled by lbgtq type interest in that building?
Speaker 1: Here is a mural affirming that the building block of all of humanity is a man marrying a woman coming together in holy matrimony and the offspring.
Speaker 1: The building block of humanity is the nuclear family, one man, one woman, oh, but there's more.
Speaker 1: The wallpaper in that building is built on 1 Corinthians, 13, 13, faith, love and hope.
Speaker 1: So even what I want you to be encouraged even when it looks like God is most absent, he can be sometimes so pervasive, and I want you to see that as a microcosm of a macro happening that even in this dark season, the fact is, god is highly involved and he is not hand-wringing.
Speaker 1: When we look at that Scripture, we think of that Scripture.
Speaker 1: When the foundations are being destroyed, what are the righteous to do?
Speaker 1: It looks like, wow, what are we going to do?
Speaker 1: Hand-wringing.
Speaker 1: But don't see it that way.
Speaker 1: When the foundations are being destroyed, what is the Righteous One capital R, capital O doing?
Speaker 1: Is another rendition from the Hebrew text.
Speaker 1: So when it looks like the sands are shifting very rapidly on us, what is God up to?
Speaker 1: That's the question we've got to ask ourselves at this particular time.
Speaker 1: So back to this term Christian nationalist.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I took so long on it, but just simply say this Every nation my wife and I go to maybe 30 nations we've been in recently we want every nation just to thrive.
Speaker 1: We want to walk in the ways of God.
Speaker 1: We want to experience God's destiny upon them.
Speaker 1: Let's just go to a bunch of words.
Speaker 1: We're going to move through these at a much faster pace than what I just did now.
Speaker 1: I parked there for three hours.
Speaker 1: I'm going to move faster, I promise.
Speaker 1: From this point on, let's take the hotbed issue across America.
Speaker 1: What are the hotbed?
Speaker 1: Parental authority.
Speaker 1: The occupant of the Weiss house had the goal to say a few years ago to a teacher's union.
Speaker 1: The occupant of the Weiss house had the goal to say a few years ago to a teacher's union when those children are in the classroom, they're your children.
Speaker 1: That should have caused an uprising.
Speaker 1: Unbelievable.
Speaker 1: What an offensive statement.
Speaker 1: My first wife passed away of cancer.
Speaker 1: I made many trips here to MD Anderson.
Speaker 1: We live in San Diego but I made many trips here to MD Anderson.
Speaker 1: She passed away 10 years ago.
Speaker 1: I've, years ago, been married to wonderful Rosemary for the last decade, but my wife and I my late wife and I adopted four children and one time I got a call from the school and says so we think your son needs some counseling.
Speaker 1: I said I think I'd be good.
Speaker 1: You tell me when and I'll be right over it.
Speaker 1: They said well, no, it's just going to be him in the counseling center, you won't be there.
Speaker 1: I says no, no, I'll be there.
Speaker 1: And they said, well, we don't do that.
Speaker 1: And I says, well, we do.
Speaker 1: I said so, let me get this straight.
Speaker 1: Does the child belong to the state, the state school or to the parent?
Speaker 1: Which is it?
Speaker 1: And the teacher didn't want to answer the question and say parent.
Speaker 1: But he begrudgingly said well, parent.
Speaker 1: I said no, you're wrong.
Speaker 1: The child doesn't belong to either.
Speaker 1: It belongs to God.
Speaker 1: But God in his stewardship has arranged for the parent to be in charge of that child until such a time he can be or she can be on her own.
Speaker 1: So if there's going to be a meeting of a counseling session, I will be present.
Speaker 1: That's my calling before God.
Speaker 1: He says, well, there'll be no counseling session.
Speaker 1: I said that works for me, that's fine.
Speaker 1: Now, when you hear issues come up, if you sit with your children and you watch a debate, like the debates of vice presidential candidates recently, or if you watch the presidential debates or you watch the RNC or the DNC or you watch the news, you're just keeping up.
Speaker 1: The news gives you an opportunity to sit with your children, your neighbors, and walk them through Psalm 127, walk them through Deuteronomy 6.
Speaker 1: When they see the sexual chaos, when it comes to sodomy, take them to Leviticus 18.
Speaker 1: When it comes to incest, take them to Leviticus 18.
Speaker 1: When it comes to rape, take them to Deuteronomy 22.
Speaker 1: Adultery, exodus, 20.
Speaker 1: Premarital sex 1 Corinthians 6.
Speaker 1: All this is in the book to help us be filled with the Word of God.
Speaker 1: Take our children and our grandchildren to the Word of God.
Speaker 1: You might say, well, my kids or my neighbors won't listen to the Word of God.
Speaker 1: They don't care about the Word of God.
Speaker 1: Let me say we don't have to defend the Word of God.
Speaker 1: It defends itself and does a very good job of it.
Speaker 1: God watches over His Word to perform it.
Speaker 1: We don't have to defend it.
Speaker 1: We can proclaim it and allow God to do what he has to do.
Speaker 1: I've done a lot of interviews about 1,700 interviews.
Speaker 1: Most of them have been softball small stations, but a number of them have been national hardball interviews.
Speaker 1: And one I was doing on CNN many years ago, interviewed by Eliot Spitzer, former governor of New York, and he started off by saying well, do you agree with so-and-so?
Speaker 1: When he said and he went into this quote Now as a high-profile evangelical leader who'd said something that was basically right.
Speaker 1: But he was trying to entrap me into agreeing with this person and I says I didn't come here to talk about his opinion.
Speaker 1: He said, yeah, but do you agree with him?
Speaker 1: When he said da-da-da-da-da, I said no, I didn't come here to talk about his opinion.
Speaker 1: I didn't even come to talk about my opinion and I really don't care about your opinion right now.
Speaker 1: I came here to tell you what God says, and God says this to the issues of life.
Speaker 1: Each time he asked me a question, I kept yeah, but the Bible says this, god says this.
Speaker 1: Now, I'm not suggesting he necessarily believed what God said, but I'm telling you this.
Speaker 1: The longer we went, he started actually stuttering.
Speaker 1: Now, I respect his intellect, he's a brave, bright guy and I respect him, but he literally began stuttering as I simply announced the Word of God.
Speaker 1: Have confidence in the Word of God that you can deal with it in that particular way.
Speaker 1: If you want to deal with premarital sex 1 Corinthians 6,.
Speaker 1: Men dressing in women's clothes Deuteronomy 22.
Speaker 1: Hebrews 13,.
Speaker 1: You want to talk about the sacredness of sexual relations, being a husband and wife in the covenant of marriage, what if Johnny comes home and he says well, little Billy tells me he loves boys.
Speaker 1: Now he doesn't love girls, he likes boys.
Speaker 1: So now, suddenly, the homosexual issue comes.
Speaker 1: What do you?
Speaker 1: Do you take your children to Genesis 19, the passage on Sodom.
Speaker 1: What about the Sodom passage?
Speaker 1: The homosexual community has re go to the next slide, if you would has redesigned all the scriptures, revised all the scriptures and their intent.
Speaker 1: So they have an answer for every time.
Speaker 1: That's even suggested in scripture and they completely revised the biblical intent.
Speaker 1: Let's even suggested in Scripture, and they completely revise the biblical intent.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about just one of them.
Speaker 1: That's all you have time for.
Speaker 1: The Sodom story, sodom and Gomorrah.
Speaker 1: They say the sin of Sodom was not homosexuality.
Speaker 1: According to these revisionists, the sin of Sodom was inhospitality.
Speaker 1: They were not hospitable.
Speaker 1: Now there is an element, some semi-element of truth to that, because in Eastern culture inhospitality was a very serious sin.
Speaker 1: My wife and I just got back from Armenia, just sick, by the way.
Speaker 1: Pray for Armenia.
Speaker 1: Christians on the Eastern part of Armenia.
Speaker 1: This is the first nation that declared itself to be Christian 301 AD.
Speaker 1: We met with the president, we met with so many from there and they all every governor, every mayor, they started by we follow Christian principles, we have Christian values and boldly declared that In their opening statements.
Speaker 1: We follow Christian values as a country.
Speaker 1: But Azerbaijan, the Muslims on the the east side, are coming in and slaughtering them, made art stock.
Speaker 1: I want you to pray for armenia.
Speaker 1: Watch what's happening armenia, do whatever you can to get.
Speaker 1: Fortunately, members of congress are aware and are taking action to try to get some help for Armenia before they have another genocide like they did in 1915 and 1917, when a million and a half of them were just gunned down by the Turks, leaving children with no daddies and mommies all over the country.
Speaker 1: So where was my story?
Speaker 1: Armenia, they're a fiercely hospitable part of Eastern culture and this family says you must come to our house.
Speaker 1: You must come.
Speaker 1: I said we can't.
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: We have a meeting after a meeting.
Speaker 1: We're only here a short time.
Speaker 1: You must come.
Speaker 1: I said we're booked till nine o'clock at night.
Speaker 1: They said, fine, come nine o'clock at night.
Speaker 1: I said well, okay, we can stay for an hour and don't serve any food.
Speaker 1: We had way too much to eat.
Speaker 1: We got there, we were there from nine to midnight and they pushed food down us for three hours.
Speaker 1: That's hospitality In Eastern culture that is highly valued and inhospitality is a sin.
Speaker 1: So there's truth to that.
Speaker 1: However, the way to interpret Sodom and Gomorrah is in Jude, verse 7.
Speaker 1: Jude has only one chapter.
Speaker 1: He is in Jude, verse 7.
Speaker 1: Jude has only one chapter.
Speaker 1: The New Testament makes clear that the sin of Sodom was homosexuality.
Speaker 1: It was the sexual perversion of the time you can get with your children.
Speaker 1: Take them through Leviticus 18,.
Speaker 1: Take them to Leviticus, chapter 20.
Speaker 1: I want to ask you how is it possible that the attack upon marriage is so intense of the entire globe?
Speaker 1: We go to country after country and they'll say well, you won't believe what's happening here.
Speaker 1: There's this battle over marriage and same-sex marriage and transgenderism.
Speaker 1: They think it's only their country.
Speaker 1: I said well, we heard that in the previous 29 countries.
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, I'm gonna do a quick roll call of nations, just real quick.
Speaker 1: Some places we've been.
Speaker 1: Let's roll through these pretty quick.
Speaker 1: Go to the next slide, if you would.
Speaker 1: This is what.
Speaker 1: I'm going to go pretty fast here.
Speaker 1: So whoever's running them, keep up with me.
Speaker 1: We're in egypt with with we.
Speaker 1: I don't have contact with heads of state.
Speaker 1: I have to.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't have that much clout, but God helps me through some friends, to get to these people, and so we're going to see some of them in Al-Sisi, even in this Muslim country, and Al-Sisi is giving good leadership to Egypt right now.
Speaker 1: He's helping rebuild the Coptic Christian churches that are being burned down by the Muslim Brotherhood and he's trying to help the Christians be able to establish there, even though he himself is Muslim.
Speaker 1: But again, the whole controversy over marriage even exists there.
Speaker 1: Go to the next one.
Speaker 1: Next one is Barzoni in Kurdistan.
Speaker 1: Go to a lot of stories.
Speaker 1: Next one we're in Jordan with King Abdul II, a nation that used to be at war with Israel.
Speaker 1: Now they're at peace.
Speaker 1: Here we are with Netanyahu, israel Now.
Speaker 1: Netanyahu is one of the greatest leaders on the face of the earth.
Speaker 1: He is not perfect.
Speaker 1: None of these are.
Speaker 1: He's not perfect.
Speaker 1: He's missed it on some issues.
Speaker 1: Missed it on, frankly, on probably this issue, but every country is in a battle for the issue of marriage.
Speaker 1: Go to the next one.
Speaker 1: This is not now the present, this is a recent picture, just taken in May.
Speaker 1: Go to the next one, and this is with Hernandez.
Speaker 1: He's unfortunately has kind of a sad end to this story.
Speaker 1: He's serving time in prison.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they were trumped up charges or for real, I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: Go to the next one, honduras.
Speaker 1: Now we're in Bolsonaro.
Speaker 1: This is one of our heroes.
Speaker 1: I hear.
Speaker 1: Bolsonaro is one of the greatest leaders on the face of the earth.
Speaker 1: He's known as the donald trump of the trump tropics.
Speaker 1: He's bold and courageous.
Speaker 1: He was stabbed while he was running for office, had 12, 13 different surgeries, I think, on his body to try to put him back together after the stabbing.
Speaker 1: Uh, he was in office and then they unfortunately in an election that was questionable as what we've had in this country.
Speaker 1: He's out and Lulu, the convicted criminal, is back in running the country doing horrific damage.
Speaker 1: Pray for Brazil in this season, but once again, that's another country where the definition of marriage they're trying to obliterate it.
Speaker 1: Go to the next one, bolivia.
Speaker 1: Sorry, we're in Guatemala now.
Speaker 1: In Guatemala, jimmy Morales.
Speaker 1: He came to power the same way Zelensky did in Ukraine.
Speaker 1: He was a comedian on TV, became popular, became president and he has a checkered background, as bad as Donald Trump's background, but the guy surrounded himself with good, godly people and made a lot of really good decisions.
Speaker 1: Then the man who followed him next picture, alejandro John Boutte.
Speaker 1: He is not one of us in any respect, but he respects Judeo-Christian values and surrounded himself with godly people and made good decisions.
Speaker 1: I said to him, sir, do not let Kamala Harris force you to accept same-sex marriage, because our State Department what's been corrupt since 1940, coerces nations to accept same-sex marriage and transgenderism.
Speaker 1: We were at a conference in London a number of years ago during the Obama administration, and a guy stood up from Africa and says you guys are trying to colonialize us again.
Speaker 1: I said what's that?
Speaker 1: They said you colonialized us once.
Speaker 1: Now you're sexually colonializing us.
Speaker 1: You're forcing us to affirm same-sex marriage and transgenderism.
Speaker 1: We don't want that in our nations.
Speaker 1: I said, sir, to this president don't let Kamala Harris take you down the road on that.
Speaker 1: He said through a translator be assured, we will not.
Speaker 1: Now they pay a price for that.
Speaker 1: Their aid can be cut off.
Speaker 1: They tried to force in Guatemala them to put the rainbow flags by every Guatemalan flag.
Speaker 1: That's how out of control it is.
Speaker 1: And some countries have acquiesced Finland, for example, in Finland.
Speaker 1: We were there in Finland just not very long ago.
Speaker 1: We were at the parliament building.
Speaker 1: We met with Pavi Rysson who, by the way, is in a trial now for the third time.
Speaker 1: Member of parliament, former minister of interior, her husband's the president of a Bible college.
Speaker 1: She's being hauled to trial the third time for the same thing.
Speaker 1: What was her crime?
Speaker 1: In a tweet a tweet, rather she actually quoted in a tweet to her bishop.
Speaker 1: She quoted Romans, chapter 1, verse 24 through 27 27.
Speaker 1: That's her crime calling calling homosexuality a sin and so they've hauled her in the court.
Speaker 1: Now, since 2019, she's in continual preparation for trial, tried to take her to prison for this issue.
Speaker 1: That's the pressure.
Speaker 1: When we were there, we were there.
Speaker 1: We couldn't find hardly any of the finished flags.
Speaker 1: We hardly saw.
Speaker 1: I don't know if we saw one.
Speaker 1: I'm sure they were up.
Speaker 1: We just didn't see a.
Speaker 1: Rainbow flags were everywhere.
Speaker 1: She was walking with her six-year-old grandchild, pavi rayson, this member of parliament there, and she was walking with her six-year-old grandkid and he looked up at the flag.
Speaker 1: Says mommy, my grandma, who has overrun Finland?
Speaker 1: I know the Swedish flag.
Speaker 1: That's not Sweden who has overrun our country.
Speaker 1: These were the rainbow flags everywhere.
Speaker 1: Go to the next slide, if you would.
Speaker 1: Next one.
Speaker 1: This is a tough story.
Speaker 1: A revival broke out with prayer in the streets in November of 2019 in Bolivia.
Speaker 1: As a result, the dictator fled the country.
Speaker 1: It's a profound story, I can't go into it.
Speaker 1: When he left his number two guy, number three, number four, number five, all left.
Speaker 1: So succession of presidency went to Janine Enyas, a senator, she became the president.
Speaker 1: She was a godly woman.
Speaker 1: She was in a crummy political party, but she was a godly woman herself.
Speaker 1: Her brother's an evangelical pastor there and she rose to power.
Speaker 1: But the socialists came back in a year or two later and threw her in prison, trumped up charges, fake charges, and she's in prison right now under terrible conditions, almost died.
Speaker 1: Now pray for Janine Añez in Bolivia.
Speaker 1: But my point is here's another country where the whole issue of homosexual homosexuality, every country you go to go to the next one.
Speaker 1: This is a fascinating story.
Speaker 1: This is Hungary.
Speaker 1: Prime Minister Viktor Orban of Hungary, tristan Asbiz, is the picture on the top.
Speaker 1: He's the state secretary not secretary of state, but state secretary.
Speaker 1: It's almost a cabinet level position.
Speaker 1: He has one assignment find Christians that are being persecuted somewhere in the world and save their lives.
Speaker 1: Hungary's only 9 million people and yet they've taken on this Eighty percent of the earth.
Speaker 1: Of the earth's 8 billion people, 80 percent of the earth is in religiously persecuted territories and 80 percent of those are Christian.
Speaker 1: So he has a Herculean task.
Speaker 1: But I want to tell you about Victor Orban.
Speaker 1: Victor Orban is hated by the EU.
Speaker 1: About 27 member nations in the European Union.
Speaker 1: God's kind of opened the doors.
Speaker 1: We've met with quite a few members of parliament across Europe and we'll be doing a thing there, december the 4th in Brussels, belgium, an event bringing biblical principles of governance to European Union leaders.
Speaker 1: He is hated because he says our country belongs to God and we have a Christian heritage, and if you don't have that value, you're not getting in.
Speaker 1: And so he blocks the Muslims, if they don't have a Christian value structure which they don't from coming in.
Speaker 1: So he's accused of being a xenophobe, islamophobe.
Speaker 1: How dare you?
Speaker 1: And on top of that he said we're not going to allow homosexuality and transgenderism to be the policy of this government.
Speaker 1: We believe in one man, one woman marriage.
Speaker 1: They get married first and have babies second.
Speaker 1: And so what he does?
Speaker 1: He says if you will get married first and have babies second, if you'll have two babies, we'll cancel one half of your student debt.
Speaker 1: If you'll get married and have three babies, we'll cancel all your student debt.
Speaker 1: If you'll get married and have four babies, you'll never have to pay income tax ever again.
Speaker 1: If you'll get married and keep having babies, we'll buy you a van as long as you fill it with babies.
Speaker 1: We'll help buy you a house if you'll fill it with babies.
Speaker 1: What's he addressing?
Speaker 1: What's called the demographic winter?
Speaker 1: What's the demographic winter?
Speaker 1: The fertility rates are plummeting across Western Europe.
Speaker 1: They're in serious trouble.
Speaker 1: You have to be at 2.1 to maintain any kind of the population base.
Speaker 1: You start losing population.
Speaker 1: You lose a lot.
Speaker 1: You have no one to care for people who are getting older.
Speaker 1: Your economic prosperity is now gone once you have a fertility rate that's falling.
Speaker 1: All across Europe the fertility rate is 1.5, 1.4, 1.6, 1.2.
Speaker 1: In Japan we just got back from Japan a month ago it's 1.3.
Speaker 1: Japan probably cannot turn that.
Speaker 1: It is believed.
Speaker 1: It's catastrophic.
Speaker 1: What is ahead?
Speaker 1: The United States has fallen from 2.1 to we're 1.9.
Speaker 1: Right now.
Speaker 1: People are not getting married and they're not having babies, and this is a tragedy in our country.
Speaker 1: And so Victor Orban stands against that and he's paying a high, a very, very high price.
Speaker 1: Go to the next slide.
Speaker 1: Well, you know this guy.
Speaker 1: I guess probably he has been our most pro-life president.
Speaker 1: We're having a hard time seeing that hold steady at the present time.
Speaker 1: There's some challenges and I acknowledge that, but I think we can count on we're going to have to see if he can be elected and not against globalism.
Speaker 1: This is not to me, has nothing to do with Republican versus Democrat.
Speaker 1: Nothing.
Speaker 1: Has nothing to do with right versus left.
Speaker 1: Has everything to do with right versus wrong, good versus evil, light versus darkness, biblical truth as opposed to anti-scriptural constructs, the things of God as opposed to the evil one.
Speaker 1: That's what we face right now.
Speaker 1: This next two slides and this is the first time I've actually shown them to an audience this is a slide I did not know existed.
Speaker 1: I served on Trump's faith advisory board.
Speaker 1: Somebody sent it to me on election day, did not know existed.
Speaker 1: It's me in a conversation with him and then I saw the guy behind me taking the picture.
Speaker 1: So I contacted.
Speaker 1: I said hey, do you have a picture?
Speaker 1: The other side he said yes, I do.
Speaker 1: Take a look at this other side.
Speaker 1: It's kind of a fun one.
Speaker 1: Next one, next slide People ask me what were you saying?
Speaker 1: I wish I could remember.
Speaker 1: I think I was actually talking about Israel at that particular time and it happened to do with Samaria and Judea, what they call the West Bank.
Speaker 1: There's no such thing as the West Bank.
Speaker 1: Only call it by its biblical names Judea and Samaria.
Speaker 1: Now here's where I want to take you on this.
Speaker 1: Why is this vicious attack on the institution of marriage global?
Speaker 1: It's happening in every country.
Speaker 1: There's no country you can't find where this battle is not taking place.
Speaker 1: What on earth is going on?
Speaker 1: Let me pose a question Is God male or female?
Speaker 1: The answer is neither.
Speaker 1: The writers in the Old Testament have a hard time figuring out how to describe him.
Speaker 1: Some will say well, he's like masculine strength.
Speaker 1: So you see those kind of adjectives there's.
Speaker 1: Other times they use tender, nurturing language and feminine kind of characteristics.
Speaker 1: Let's say he has a breast like feeding newborn, or he has a womb baby's being born.
Speaker 1: So the writers of the Old Testament describe he's not androgynous.
Speaker 1: But the spectrum of God is a wide spectrum.
Speaker 1: It means that no man catch this.
Speaker 1: No male by himself is a representation of the full spectrum of the image of God.
Speaker 1: Follow me no woman by herself is a full representation of the full spectrum, the image of God.
Speaker 1: Now what I'm gonna go into right now.
Speaker 1: He, pastor James, tells me he's preached on this here.
Speaker 1: He's heard me share this before and he's preached on it, so this may be repetitious, but it's good to hear it again and if you haven't heard it before, then I think it'll be very enlightening and very, very helpful to you.
Speaker 1: When God created and, by the way, the name El Shaddai for God, el, strong, mighty mountain, shaddai, breast nourisher it's believed that those are the original meanings of those two particular words, so they depict the image of God.
Speaker 1: When God created, in Genesis 2, adam.
Speaker 1: Don't picture capital, a Adam the male.
Speaker 1: When God created what I'm covering with you right now.
Speaker 1: Many of your Bibles have footnotes At the bottom.
Speaker 1: You go down to the footnotes and the Hebrew words are listed outlining what I'm telling you right now.
Speaker 1: When God created Adam, he didn't create capital, a Adam the male.
Speaker 1: He created Adam, small a.
Speaker 1: He created Adam and a strange thing happened.
Speaker 1: God looked at it and said that's not good.
Speaker 1: When did God ever create something and said that's not good, that's bizarre.
Speaker 1: Everything he created, he said that's good, that's good, that's good, that's good, that's good.
Speaker 1: And then he created Adam humanity, not Adam the male.
Speaker 1: Yet he created Adam humanity and went it's not good, what was not good, translation could be.
Speaker 1: It's as one has no capacity for relationship.
Speaker 1: God is designed in a way self-designed for the capacity for relationship Father, son, holy Spirit but he's designed something now and has no capacity for relationship.
Speaker 1: He took a look at this is not good, and then, don't think Adam and they were took it to a rib and created Eve.
Speaker 1: The English sounds like that.
Speaker 1: The Hebrew text, original language, is like this he created a dom.
Speaker 1: That's not good.
Speaker 1: And then he took not rib, but the word.
Speaker 1: There there's a, there's a sound in the Hebrew alphabet, so it's say.
Speaker 1: It's like picture.
Speaker 1: The word there there's a sound in the Hebrew alphabet, so it's tseh-la.
Speaker 1: It's like picture.
Speaker 1: The word Tesla.
Speaker 1: Only two words are switched around, so tseh-la.
Speaker 1: What is that?
Speaker 1: That's side or half.
Speaker 1: He removed side or half.
Speaker 1: Don't bring that screen up, that picture up, quite yet.
Speaker 1: We're not ready for it.
Speaker 1: He removed side or half Once.
Speaker 1: He had that.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 1: He had woman femininity and we had masculinity.
Speaker 1: Part of the reason for the drive of a man and a woman to come together is the desire for the two halves of humanity to complete and be an expression of the imago dei, the image of God.
Speaker 1: It's designed for that to happen within the construct of the covenant of marriage.
Speaker 1: Now, having said that, let's go to the slide.
Speaker 1: These Hebrew slides, these are the ones I think Pastor James has shared with you before.
Speaker 1: I want you to look at the top word.
Speaker 1: Hebrew reads, from right to left, the opposite of English Aleph yod ishin.
Speaker 1: That means ish or man.
Speaker 1: Aleph, next line, aleph shin.
Speaker 1: Hey, that's woman.
Speaker 1: Or isha.
Speaker 1: You've heard preachers say before, I suspect, that once Eve was created, adam looked at Eve and went whoa, man, woman, and it stuck.
Speaker 1: And the other part you may not have heard is Eve took one look at man and went ish and it stuck.
Speaker 1: So males are known as ish.
Speaker 1: Okay, ish, ish in Isha.
Speaker 1: Now look at the words carefully, the top two lines.
Speaker 1: There's one letter that's in the top line that's not in the second.
Speaker 1: That's the yod in the middle.
Speaker 1: Think of the letter y.
Speaker 1: There's one letter in the second line that's not in the first.
Speaker 1: What is that?
Speaker 1: That's the he or the h?
Speaker 1: Okay, let's walk down through that.
Speaker 1: What is yod-he?
Speaker 1: Yod-he are the rudimentary letters of the word Yod-Heh-Vav-Heh, the name for Lord or God that is mentioned 6,800 times in your Bible, in your Old Testament.
Speaker 1: Yod-heh-vav-heh in the original appears 6,800 times in your Bible.
Speaker 1: In other words, when man and woman come together, the name of God is stamped upon them.
Speaker 1: Two men don't do that.
Speaker 1: Two women don't do that.
Speaker 1: The image of God.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the next slide.
Speaker 1: Now we're going to look at it a different way.
Speaker 1: Look in the upper right-hand corner, the yod, the y.
Speaker 1: We're going to bring it down, that blue way.
Speaker 1: Look in the upper right-hand corner, the yod, the y.
Speaker 1: We're going to bring it down that blue arrow.
Speaker 1: Go to the upper left-hand corner, woman, a shah.
Speaker 1: We're going to bring the hey down yod, hey, vav, hey.
Speaker 1: Now we have the word Yahweh which, as I already indicated, almost 7,000 times in your Old Testament alone.
Speaker 1: Go to the next one.
Speaker 1: Now we're looking at the same words, rearranged a little differently.
Speaker 1: We're going to start with the rudimentary letters of Yahweh, yod-heh, the top, god.
Speaker 1: We'll bring the arrow down.
Speaker 1: We see Yod is in the middle of Ish for man.
Speaker 1: Bring the Heh down to the left, the far left, and it's the last letter.
Speaker 1: Remember, they read from right to left.
Speaker 1: The last letter in the word for woman is sha.
Speaker 1: Now let's take out the yod and hay.
Speaker 1: What do we have left?
Speaker 1: We have both words.
Speaker 1: Have aleph shin in them.
Speaker 1: What is that in the Hebrew?
Speaker 1: In English that means fire.
Speaker 1: Is fire good or bad?
Speaker 1: Well, it depends.
Speaker 1: If fire is uncontrolled it's terrible.
Speaker 1: We had a fire break out in San Diego, where I now live, in October of 2003, and it burnt down 2,800 homes in four days.
Speaker 1: It was tragic In 2007,.
Speaker 1: Another fire burnt down 1,600 homes in about two or three days.
Speaker 1: So fire unrestrained is vicious and terrible.
Speaker 1: But fire constricted and controlled and parametered is very good.
Speaker 1: It's running this PA system, it's running the PowerPoint, the lights, the air conditioning.
Speaker 1: It cooked your meals today and it runs your car to get you home.
Speaker 1: So fire-restrained is a good and wonderful thing as far as it's trained.
Speaker 1: So it is in the relationship, the attraction of a man for a woman, the fire that draws them together.
Speaker 1: If it's outside the context of covenantal marriage, that is not love, that's's lust, and the result is it's highly destructive.
Speaker 1: It'll harm the people involved and it'll harm all the people around it very badly.
Speaker 1: But within the context of covenant, the fire that draws a man and wife together is a holy and righteous act before Almighty God.
Speaker 1: Next slide Now we're going to see it reviewed.
Speaker 1: Ish at the top, I mean Sha, rather woman, see Ish man.
Speaker 1: You see the green and the blue letters from those two.
Speaker 1: See the green and the blue letters from those two, yod-heh-vav-heh, yahweh or God.
Speaker 1: And now the last line is if you take those letters out, you have the fire.
Speaker 1: Now I'm going to take you to another word.
Speaker 1: The word is going to be next slide, please the word covenant.
Speaker 1: I've talked about this covenant of marriage.
Speaker 1: Take you to the word covenant.
Speaker 1: Read from right to left it's berit.
Speaker 1: The word brit means covenant.
Speaker 1: Ish means man, british, a covenant man.
Speaker 1: So brit berit is covenant in the context of covenant.
Speaker 1: Now what I'm going to do.
Speaker 1: Everything I've been telling you I was taught by three Jewish rabbis, by the way.
Speaker 1: As I take these two letters, I'm going to take the four letters of covenant and pull them apart, two and two, and I'm going to take the word eish fire and put it in the middle.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the next slide.
Speaker 1: So look at the where it says berit or covenant.
Speaker 1: I've taken the two words, the four words, letters, I'm sorry and pulled them apart.
Speaker 1: And then look at the bottom, eish fire.
Speaker 1: I put that word in it.
Speaker 1: So now we have a new word.
Speaker 1: It's bereshit.
Speaker 1: What does bereshit mean?
Speaker 1: Bereshit is the first word in your Bible.
Speaker 1: It's in the beginning, genesis, chapter 1, verse 1.
Speaker 1: Now, now, why is that significant?
Speaker 1: By the way, the Jews don't call Genesis Genesis.
Speaker 1: The Jews called Genesis bear a sheet.
Speaker 1: The rabbi who taught me this said, jim so holy and sacred is the attraction of a man for a woman within the context of covenantal marital love, so precious is it that he actually hid it and tucked it into the first word of the Bible, announcing how special that is to him.
Speaker 1: Now, by this time, light should be going on.
Speaker 1: This is why there's an attack on marriage over the whole globe, because the imago Dei, the image of God that God put on earth, is being viciously attacked.
Speaker 1: But let's do a quick change.
Speaker 1: Let's go from Genesis, which has the marriage of a male and a female, and fly all the way to Revelation, which ends with a wedding of a bride and groom.
Speaker 1: Next, slide, please, when Paul is writing in Ephesians 5, he says Husbands, love your wives.
Speaker 1: Wives respond this way Husbands, this, wives.
Speaker 1: That Husbands, wives, husbands, wives.
Speaker 1: And he stops and says wait a minute.
Speaker 1: You think I'm talking about husband and wives on earth.
Speaker 1: I'm not.
Speaker 1: I'm talking now about Christ and the church, christ and the covenanted people.
Speaker 1: Christ is the people of God.
Speaker 1: They're coming together as a marriage.
Speaker 1: Now we all go.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't get that.
Speaker 1: How's that going to happen?
Speaker 1: He knew that.
Speaker 1: He said it's a mystery.
Speaker 1: We can't comprehend it.
Speaker 1: However, god established small m marriage on earth so we would have a glimpse of the closure of history capital in marriage when jesus and the church come together.
Speaker 1: What is all of history going for?
Speaker 1: All of history?
Speaker 1: Every day goes by.
Speaker 1: We're that much closer to the culmination history.
Speaker 1: What is all of history going for?
Speaker 1: One thing, the marriage supper of the lamb.
Speaker 1: We're headed to a big wedding.
Speaker 1: God only has one kid.
Speaker 1: He cares who's going to marry his kid.
Speaker 1: He wants a bride that's spotless, without wrinkle.
Speaker 1: He wants her prepared.
Speaker 1: So it's a big deal to God that we're headed towards this wedding.
Speaker 1: But I can't understand this.
Speaker 1: Jesus, yeshua and the people of God they're going to come together and they're going to.
Speaker 1: I can't understand that, and God knows it.
Speaker 1: And so he didn't look down on planet Earth and say let's see.
Speaker 1: They all know about marriage.
Speaker 1: So I'm going to borrow that metaphor and I'm going to describe the closure of history by what they know on Earth.
Speaker 1: It's just the opposite.
Speaker 1: Before the foundations of the Earth.
Speaker 1: He established capital, capital M marriage that all of history is going to aim towards, that event.
Speaker 1: And then he planted on earth small M Marriages, the entity institution of marriage, as an hors d'oeuvres or appetizer course.
Speaker 1: So we would know what the closure of history is going to look like.
Speaker 1: Think of the best marriage you can I hope it's your own Think of the best marriage you can, and that's to be a model, that's to help us understand the mystery of what is coming.
Speaker 1: Some people say to me well, why is there no marriage in heaven?
Speaker 1: I already mentioned I've written two books on heaven put together in this one book.
Speaker 1: Well, I say, are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: Heaven is marriage, it's a big wedding.
Speaker 1: That's what heaven's going to be, it's going to be unbelievable.
Speaker 1: And they say, well, why is there no sexual relations that we know of in heaven?
Speaker 1: I say, well, let's talk about that.
Speaker 1: At thy right hand are pleasures forevermore.
Speaker 1: It means that the physical act of marriage on earth, physical intimacy, that ecstasy that comes from that moment, is to be a physical representation of the spiritual, the light of being in the presence of Jesus.
Speaker 1: I have interviewed for this book many, many people who crossed over near-death experiences, experiences, experienced heaven, and came back and interviewed them.
Speaker 1: What was it like?
Speaker 1: They say we don't have words to describe.
Speaker 1: They said we went to run.
Speaker 1: It was effortless.
Speaker 1: Every blade of grass was singing, every blade of grass was light.
Speaker 1: Every leaf in every tree had music.
Speaker 1: Every leaf was lit so brightly, it was breath.
Speaker 1: It was absolutely stellar.
Speaker 1: They would say things like this I, I no longer fear death.
Speaker 1: I had no fear of death.
Speaker 1: One year ago right now, september the 14th, my mother died.
Speaker 1: She was a hundred and two and lived by herself to the very end.
Speaker 1: So on September 4th she died.
Speaker 1: Before that, five days before September the 9, my wife and I were being driven to the Little Rock, arkansas airport when my daughter called and said Dad, you better say goodbye to your mother.
Speaker 1: I think she's dying now.
Speaker 1: He called an ambulance and all I says Mom.
Speaker 1: On FaceTime I could see her.
Speaker 1: I said Mom, I love you.
Speaker 1: I love you, mom.
Speaker 1: She went.
Speaker 1: That was the end.
Speaker 1: I said, oh, my goodness.
Speaker 1: So we raced home as fast as we could to San Diego.
Speaker 1: My daughter beat the ambulance to the hospital.
Speaker 1: She says Dad, I don't know what happened, says Grandma, I thought she'd be dead, but like she was back there.
Speaker 1: But when we got there there was a glow of her face and a smile.
Speaker 1: She said something happened.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you later.
Speaker 1: She won't tell me what happened.
Speaker 1: So I got home I said Mom, what happened?
Speaker 1: She says I'll tell you later.
Speaker 1: I says I don't want to wait till later.
Speaker 1: I asked her about four or five times.
Speaker 1: Finally, the next day, she says I went to heaven.
Speaker 1: I saw it.
Speaker 1: She began to describe this glory, this splendor of what she experienced.
Speaker 1: She says I had the body I had in high school.
Speaker 1: I was straight and tall, I had no pain.
Speaker 1: And then she said these words.
Speaker 1: She says I left, I was going.
Speaker 1: And he says I was floating, but I wasn't floating.
Speaker 1: And she says I looked down and they were calling my name Josie.
Speaker 1: He was calling grandma, grandma.
Speaker 1: I was a big clump down there.
Speaker 1: I didn't want to be part of that clump.
Speaker 1: I loved what I was experiencing.
Speaker 1: She says I actually laughed out loud and I said I think I'm dying.
Speaker 1: And then she said these words if this is dying, this is fun.
Speaker 1: Eight different times she talked about it.
Speaker 1: I grabbed my phone, I recorded her.
Speaker 1: We put those together in one full sermon and we had her.
Speaker 1: We played it at her funeral.
Speaker 1: She preached her own funeral about heaven.
Speaker 1: What we don't understand about what we're coming to is this great consummation.
Speaker 1: We even use marital bed language.
Speaker 1: We say consummation of history.
Speaker 1: We call it a climax of history.
Speaker 1: Now why am I saying all this?
Speaker 1: We call it a climax of history.
Speaker 1: Now why am I saying all this?
Speaker 1: If I were Satan, I would go over to Genesis and I'd try to destroy the image of God.
Speaker 1: And I'd go to Revelation and I would try to destroy in people's minds the very understanding of the nature of the culmination of all of history.
Speaker 1: And so he orchestrates certain things.
Speaker 1: So he orchestrates certain things Divorce, no-fault divorce, pornography, transgenderism, homosexuality, and the list goes on and on of the perversions.
Speaker 1: All with a design to destroy the very nature of what the Imago Dei, the holy, sacred image of God, is man.
Speaker 1: I'm running out of time here.
Speaker 1: I'm talking as fast as I can.
Speaker 1: If you'd listened faster I'd have been done by now.
Speaker 1: Let me just go through some topics here.
Speaker 1: Transgenderism we touch on that in the book.
Speaker 1: You can take your children to Deuteronomy 22.
Speaker 1: At DEI diversity, equity and inclusion you can walk through the perversions.
Speaker 1: It sounds good, it sounds so good, but walk through the perversions.
Speaker 1: It sounds good.
Speaker 1: It sounds so good, but walk through the perversion and the violation of Scripture.
Speaker 1: Or you walk through critical race theory.
Speaker 1: Sounds good because we are called to a ministry of reconciliation, but it's all set designed to get one person people group against another people group.
Speaker 1: The view is in critical race theory is that all whites hate blacks, all males hate females, all older people hate young people, all heterosexuals hate homosexuals and all Christians hate Muslims or everybody else.
Speaker 1: So if you are what I am, I'm an old white male, christian, heterosexual.
Speaker 1: I'm the worst oppressor there exists on the earth.
Speaker 1: All the problems on the earth are caused by me personally.
Speaker 1: Aren't you glad to know that?
Speaker 1: So picture this in your mind.
Speaker 1: Picture an 85-year-old veteran living in a double-wide trailer with a leaky roof in Tupelo Mississippi, who's trying to live on Social Security.
Speaker 1: He goes to a Pentecostal church, his wife has passed away and so he's old white male.
Speaker 1: You get the picture.
Speaker 1: So he is an oppressor.
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, in preppy little Harvard, there's a 40-year-old tenured professor, who's female?
Speaker 1: Who's female?
Speaker 1: Lesbian, muslim, african-american, etc.
Speaker 1: He, in Tupelo Mississippi, is oppressing that woman who's getting this incredible salary in Harvard University, based upon the principles of CRT.
Speaker 1: They're designed to divide us when we're called to the ministry of reconciliation.
Speaker 1: What about the Second Amendment and the right of self-defense?
Speaker 1: Well, there's a lot of weapons mentioned in the Bible In weapons swords in John 18, spears in 1 Samuel 19,.
Speaker 1: Bows and arrows in 1 Samuel, daggers in 2 Samuel, stones in Exodus 19,.
Speaker 1: Clubs in Matthew 26,.
Speaker 1: A tent, peg and hammer in Judges 4,.
Speaker 1: Sling and stone in 1 Samuel 17,.
Speaker 1: Firebrands in Proverbs, poison in Mark, a rope in Esther.
Speaker 1: Ox goad in Judges, lions in Daniel, a furnace in Daniel.
Speaker 1: Even hands, human hands, used as a weapon in Matthew 18.
Speaker 1: And Samson of all, the most lethal weapon, he took out a thousand Philistines at once with the jawbone of a donkey in Judges.
Speaker 1: But the problem is never the weapons, it's always the human heart.
Speaker 1: The problem wasn't the rock in Genesis 4, it was Cain who used the rock to kill Abel.
Speaker 1: And so you have the chance to teach your children that it's the human heart that can be desperately wicked, according to Jeremiah 17.
Speaker 1: It's never the weapon, it's always the human heart.
Speaker 1: Or homelessness you can walk through that.
Speaker 1: Or globalism or the border.
Speaker 1: I'll just stop there for a second.
Speaker 1: At the border, we're told by bleeding-heart liberals that we're supposed to just welcome everybody to come pouring across that border and we're told that in Scripture it says welcome the stranger.
Speaker 1: How dare you violate Scripture, they say, and you not welcome the stranger.
Speaker 1: They don't bother to look at what the word ger stranger, ger in Hebrew the stranger means.
Speaker 1: The stranger means a person who's coming into your land going by your traditions, your ways, obeying your laws.
Speaker 1: That's what the stranger is and we've always welcomed people who come in with that understanding.
Speaker 1: Loss of medical freedom Lots we say about that.
Speaker 1: The national debt Cancel culture, population growth Wish we had time about that.
Speaker 1: The national debt cancel culture, population growth, which we had time.
Speaker 1: Esg, environment, social and governance, which we had.
Speaker 1: 15-minute city what's a 15-minute city?
Speaker 1: This is for real.
Speaker 1: Where they're trying to design cities where you're not permitted to go more than 15 minutes, that you're walking or bicycling.
Speaker 1: Google that and you'll see already.
Speaker 1: Oxford, england, what they're attempting to do there Screen addiction, energy dependence, big pharma, big tech, big ag and the loss of food security, national debt, social scares and ESG, global warming, climate change, self-defense, artificial intelligence, transhumanism, central bank, digital currency, energy dependence.
Speaker 1: I'll close with the last one here.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about abortion for a moment.
Speaker 1: There was a 14-year-old girl.
Speaker 1: She lived in a town of 600, two boys, high school seniors.
Speaker 1: She was only a freshman.
Speaker 1: They invited her to go to a movie.
Speaker 1: She was all too happy, for they had their attention, so she decided to go to the movie with them 22 miles away.
Speaker 1: But when they got to the town where the movie was, they didn to go to the movie with them 22 miles away.
Speaker 1: But when they got to the town where the movie was, they didn't go to the movie.
Speaker 1: They drove down underneath the river bridge and they raped her and they warned her don't you ever tell anybody.
Speaker 1: A few months later she was showing.
Speaker 1: Her mother was taking her to a medical doctor and she said who did this to you?
Speaker 1: And the young girl says what difference does that make?
Speaker 1: Now, that's the only conversation they had about this topic for the next 36 years.
Speaker 1: She had a problem in pregnancy.
Speaker 1: They put her in a hospital 50 miles from home, flat on her back, for three months to save the baby.
Speaker 1: She chose not to have an abortion, she chose to have the baby.
Speaker 1: My wife then my late wife and I adopted that baby.
Speaker 1: So our firstborn was conceived as a result of not just rape but gang rape, and that young woman is now a pastor's wife, a pastor's megachurch is now a pastor's wife, a pastor's mega church.
Speaker 1: That's having a huge impact upon the community where they serve.
Speaker 1: The reason I tell you that story is because you might be one that's been inclined to say well, I'm pro-life, accept in.
Speaker 1: And then you drop in that word rape.
Speaker 1: And it sounds good because isn't rape the most vile ugly sins you can think of?
Speaker 1: Yes, it's the most invasionary and intrusionary the nature of a human body for a rape to occur.
Speaker 1: And yet the last thing that needs to happen after one terrible evil act occurs is for an innocent life to be killed.
Speaker 1: There are thousands of people across America in organizations, all of whom were conceived as a result of rape, and they meet together and they thank God for the fact that they have life when they could have easily been aborted.
Speaker 1: And so, as you think of being pro-life, be consistent in that, recognizing that even in the midst of horrible conditions, god can show up and do something special.
Speaker 1: What I want to do right now is to pray over you.
Speaker 1: Want to do right now is to pray over you and I'll be back there by the books.
Speaker 1: I'm very happy to sign books.
Speaker 1: I want to urge you to buy them.
Speaker 1: By the case, we're doing that intentionally, pushing away the prophet to see if we can save the republic in this late hour.
Speaker 1: I was in the Knesset.
Speaker 1: My wife, rosemary Schindler was her name Rosemary Schindler-Garlow Through her first marriage.
Speaker 1: She's related to Oscar Schindler in Schindler's List and when she made connection with them when Schindler's came out, the Schindler family back at that time made a decision to send to her Oscar Schindler's personal memorabilia.
Speaker 1: So she has his passports and family Bible, all this kind of thing.
Speaker 1: She has them there.
Speaker 1: She lectures on that topic many places around the country.
Speaker 1: The reason I tell you that is we start a thing called Schindler Society.
Speaker 1: We can't do it real often but we do it from time to time.
Speaker 1: We've done seven of them In the Knesset.
Speaker 1: That's the Israeli parliament where members of the parliament and Jews and Christians study the Tanakh, the Old Testament, together, led by Jewish rabbis.
Speaker 1: It's really quite a remarkable experience.
Speaker 1: God has smiled his favor on it.
Speaker 1: We were at one of those events.
Speaker 1: Ready to start, I was conversing with a Jewish woman who's quite a scholar in her own right and I looked at her and I says I think the time is short.
Speaker 1: She looked back at me and said the time is up In the season which we find ourselves.
Speaker 1: I'm attempting to do my little part of trying to see if we can save the republic by two things Getting the word of God stamped on people's hearts for all of these political issues.
Speaker 1: God has an answer for every one of these.
Speaker 1: The second thing, and I won't talk about it because we don't have time now, but we host Rosemary and I co-host with Tony Perkins of the FRC, the National Gathering for Prayer and Repentance.
Speaker 1: I want to invite you to mark your calendar February 5.
Speaker 1: It's in Washington DC, at Museum of the Bible.
Speaker 1: Members of Congress come, members of Parliament from Europe, members of Congress from Latin America.
Speaker 1: Every person who's there only has one minute.
Speaker 1: They cannot talk to the audience.
Speaker 1: No speeches, even prominent pastors, highly prominent pastors, can't talk to the audience.
Speaker 1: You have to talk only to God and you just have 60 seconds only as a prayer of repentance Personal sin, sin in the church or national sins?
Speaker 1: Personal sin, sin in the church or national sins where you repent before a holy and just God?
Speaker 1: The only answers that I can see to turn this nation is a spirit of repentance, to impact the remnant across this nation, start with the church, and secondly, to establish a word of God in people's heart so they think biblically, radically, scripturally, about every issue, because God is so loving.
Speaker 1: He gave us the word of God and it speaks to all the issues of civil governance.
Speaker 1: I want to close by praying a commissioning prayer over you and then I'll turn it to your pastor and then I'll meet you back by the book table.
Speaker 1: And I, for the first time just now, looked at the clock.
Speaker 1: I am way over time and didn't even realize it.
Speaker 1: My plane's not to Lamar, like I said, so I've got plenty of time to go on it.
Speaker 1: I'm going to pray over you right now and then turn it to your pastor.
Speaker 1: Pastor, if you want to join me up here, and then we're going to meet you back there by the book table, stand, if you would.
Speaker 1: And I pray, father, I pray an apostolic anointing to come upon each one in governance.
Speaker 1: I pray for a commissioning supernaturally to fall upon them that something happens in the realm of the spirit that cannot be produced by man's words or by the intentionality of anyone, but by your spirit, directly.
Speaker 1: To their spirit you give a fresh anointing.
Speaker 1: May they dig in the word to find the answers you have provided.
Speaker 1: Would you give them a holy boldness before Almighty God that caused them to be able to speak winsomely, lovingly, with a smile on their face, not belligerently, not in anger, but in the confidence and the boldness of the Word of God?
Speaker 1: Will you give them an increased articulation skill?
Speaker 1: Will you give them a holy confidence in you, that you are indwelling them and you've established them for this moment to be able to pronounce and declare the Word of God, the way of God, the will of God upon planet earth as it is in heaven, may it be on earth.
Speaker 1: In the name of Yeshua HaMashiach, jesus the Messiah.
