Amen.
-
Amen.
-
Here in 2 Kings chapter number six,
-
we're describing a very grievous time
-
for the nation of Israel
-
and specifically in the city of Jerusalem.
-
We're seeing the curses of God played out
-
here in this nation.
-
And at the end of this particular chapter,
-
we have just kind of a crazy story
-
that is very grievous to read in the Bible.
-
But this does happen.
-
And if we look back at verse 26,
-
it says in the king of Israel is passing by upon the wall,
-
there cried a woman unto him saying,
-
help my Lord, O king.
-
And he said, if the Lord do not help thee,
-
when shall I help thee?
-
Out of the barn floor or out of the wine press
-
and the king said unto her, what aleeth thee?
-
And she answered, the woman said unto me,
-
give thy son that we may eat him today
-
and we will eat my son tomorrow.
-
So he boiled my son and did eat him
-
and I said unto her on the next day,
-
give thy son that we may eat him
-
and she hath hit her son.
-
Now, this is a crazy story
-
and I wanna make it clear that what the Bible is saying here,
-
this is not a normal thing, of course.
-
These people are going through extreme starvation,
-
extreme war and siege.
-
They're being besieged by an enemy
-
and so all the foods ran out,
-
all the famine that's plaguing them
-
is causing them to go crazy
-
and to have horrific thoughts
-
that would normally never happen to anyone
-
but just through the extreme circumstances,
-
they've gotten to a place
-
where they're not only cannibalizing people in their society,
-
they're cannibalizing their own children
-
which kind of seems like an unimaginable thing
-
but it is something where if you pushed people
-
to a specific degree they could get to this place
-
but the Bible is basically describing
-
what the Bible calls a curse.
-
This is a curse that has happened to Jerusalem specifically
-
and God is cursing the children of Israel
-
for having turned away from his commandments
-
and having been rebellious against God,
-
going into all kinds of fornication and adultery
-
and idolatry and just innocent blood being shed
-
and just so much oppression and just all this evil
-
just worshiping false gods
-
and going after Baal which is representative of Satan,
-
going after all this evil
-
has caused God to plague them
-
and to bring curses upon them
-
so much so that the women are cannibalizing their own children
-
and this is what's crazy
-
is she asked the king to help her.
-
Now what is she asking for though?
-
She's not asking for food,
-
she's not asking for some kind of substance,
-
she's asking can we please kill another child and eat him?
-
That is what her request is.
-
She's saying hey please help me
-
because we already killed my child and ate it,
-
now I wanna kill this other woman's child
-
and I wanna eat it.
-
And you can kind of see at least the one woman,
-
one woman killed her own son and ate it,
-
the other woman was willing to eat someone else's son
-
but then I guess she has at least a little bit
-
of remorse or a little bit,
-
maybe she was just being deceptive
-
or perhaps was more remorse,
-
she's not willing to actually kill her own son
-
so even in this extreme circumstance
-
not every woman is willing to go down this path
-
but we do see at least one of them
-
is willing to harm their own children
-
and other children and just kind of gone down
-
this really dark path
-
but this is a fulfillment of Deuteronomy 28
-
and let's go there into the back of your Bible
-
or the beginning I guess I could say
-
to the Old Testament law
-
and look at Deuteronomy 28
-
which is a pretty famous section of scripture,
-
it's describing what God will do
-
if you follow the commandments
-
and what will happen if you don't follow the commandments
-
and the first section of Deuteronomy 28
-
is giving all the blessings
-
that God's gonna bless them greatly
-
and multiply them
-
and things are gonna go well with them
-
but if they don't harken
-
he says he's going to curse them
-
and I want you to notice
-
we're gonna just look at a few verses
-
look at verse 15
-
but it shall come to pass
-
if that will not harken
-
under the voice of the Lord thy God
-
to observe to do all his commandments
-
and his statutes which I command thee this day
-
that all these curses shall come upon thee
-
and overtake thee
-
and then it just lists
-
I mean you can just look at verses 16, 17, 18, 19
-
just starts with the word cursed
-
just cursed shall thou be in the city
-
and cursed thy basket
-
and cursed the fruit of thy body
-
and cursed and it's just
-
I mean this is a long chapter of the Bible
-
just saying how many ways they're gonna be cursed
-
cursed of God
-
and if you go all the way towards the end
-
of the curses in verse 56
-
the Bible says the tender
-
and delicate woman among you
-
which would not adventure
-
to set the soul of her foot
-
upon the ground for delicateness
-
and tenderness her eye shall be evil
-
toward the husband of her bosom
-
and toward her son
-
and toward her daughter
-
and toward her young one
-
that cometh out from between her feet
-
and toward her children
-
which she shall bear
-
for she shall eat them
-
for want of all things secretly
-
in the siege and straightness
-
wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates
-
so the Bible warns that hey
-
I'm going to punish you so much
-
so that a woman
-
who is a very by nature tender woman
-
a delicate woman
-
there's nothing even really
-
you could say a miss about this particular individual
-
maybe she was a nice person
-
in her upbringing
-
but she's gonna her heart
-
and her mind is gonna be evil affected
-
towards her children
-
and not just her children
-
it says her infants
-
because it's like talking about the one
-
that just came out between her feet
-
it's just like hey
-
her older children
-
her younger children
-
even infants so much so
-
that she is going to eat them
-
and this is a curse
-
so we can't sit here
-
and just blame something else
-
because the Bible is making it clear
-
this is God cursing the children of Israel
-
this is a curse upon a nation
-
when you see this kind of thing happening
-
where women are killing
-
and slaughtering their own children
-
in such an extreme and grotesque way
-
and again this is a horrific story
-
it says in verse 58
-
if thou will not observe
-
to do all the words of this law
-
that are written in this book
-
that thou mayest fear this glorious
-
and fearful name the Lord thy God
-
you should be afraid of God
-
when you see women
-
doing these horrific acts
-
because you just see how God
-
is punishing and cursing a nation
-
for doing likewise
-
and you know while
-
you know America
-
specifically is not the nation of Israel
-
America is not going through
-
the exact same circumstances
-
that the children of Israel are
-
because we are not going through a siege
-
we're not going through extreme warfare
-
and famine
-
but I feel like we can see through the text
-
similar parallels where
-
God is cursing America
-
and that there is a curse on America right now
-
in this particular category
-
in this particular way
-
and you know that's kind of where I've gotten
-
the title of my sermon this morning
-
and I'm linking it to a specific event
-
but it's not just only about this event
-
and so the title of my sermon this morning
-
is the curse of Lindsey Clancy
-
and here's the thing
-
why bring up that particular name
-
or this particular court case
-
that's recently happened
-
well here's the thing
-
it's kind of gathered national tension
-
I mean who in here would say
-
I have no idea who Lindsey Clancy is?
-
Yeah I mean that's why I'm bringing it up
-
okay because virtually everyone has heard about this
-
and it's been a big deal
-
social media is going crazy
-
on this particular issue
-
this has been a major event
-
it almost seems like more attention
-
on this than Charlie Kirk being killed
-
or being you know assassinated
-
and I say that because
-
just of how many people this is affecting
-
and again Charlie Kirk
-
I feel like affected the whole nation too
-
I can't even say that it didn't
-
but I just I've never seen so many people interested
-
in something like this
-
and we've seen just
-
kind of the grotesque state of our culture
-
and our nation
-
in response to this by and large
-
you know unfortunately there was another woman
-
on September 1st
-
that killed one of her children
-
and it suggested that she may have even been a copycat
-
but let's say she wasn't a copycat killer
-
then it doesn't really matter
-
because we're just still seeing
-
women slaughtering their own children
-
and it's not making sense
-
you know in America in the last few years
-
around 2,000 children
-
are being killed by their parents
-
either like purposefully
-
or through like extreme neglect
-
and then you know the categories
-
when it's just the mom doing it
-
it's like 456
-
whereas if it's just the dad
-
it's 197
-
meaning that the mothers are two and a half times
-
more likely to kill their own children
-
by the statistics in America right now
-
and so this is a big issue
-
and it's not to say that
-
it's not a women versus men issue
-
obviously there's bad men
-
just like there's bad women
-
but we're seeing just parents
-
being turned against their children
-
when it was both parents
-
it's 322 slaughtering
-
so you know in a sense
-
there's a lot of just death
-
and innocent blood
-
but you know 2,000
-
pales in comparison
-
to what is happening in America right now
-
which is still about one million abortions every year
-
and since Roe v. Wade
-
which I think in 1972
-
it's around that time
-
since that period of time
-
we've had 67 million abortions
-
that's a lot of blood
-
that's a lot of blood shed
-
that has been slaughtered in America
-
and in fact you know
-
when I was looking at these specific statistics
-
of parents slaughtering their children
-
or women slaughtering their children
-
and you compare America
-
to other developed countries in the world
-
America is nine times more likely
-
for the parents to be slaughtering their children right now
-
so you know when I'm saying like
-
hey this curse of Lindsay Clancy
-
I'm not just trying to take one particular event
-
and one particular woman and say
-
hey are countries bad because of one person
-
no there's a lot of people that are responsible
-
and I don't even think God
-
if you read the Bible carefully
-
is mad at a nation for having a killer
-
or for having bad people
-
it's that the bad people are not dealt with properly
-
then God gets mad at
-
when there's innocent blood shed
-
and then it's not dealt with appropriately
-
and there's not a justice that's been served
-
then God is gonna hold that innocent blood
-
the guilt of that on that nation
-
and on that group of people
-
and what we see in America right now
-
is we see our country as being cursed
-
because we're not dealing with these issues
-
we have 67 million abortions
-
and there's been no justice served
-
there was three children slaughtered by Lindsay Clancy
-
and so far there's been no justice served
-
she was recently in a court hearing
-
where it's been declared a mistrial
-
which you know again I'm not a legal expert
-
I'm not gonna pretend to be one
-
but based on the facts of the case
-
I think it's suggested that 11 of the 12 jurors
-
were going to potentially declare her insane or something
-
and say that she's not guilty of homicide
-
and I don't know what the ramifications of that would be
-
but because of this you know the chances of her
-
going down a new trial and being found guilty
-
is pretty much just statistically impossible at this point
-
because if only one out of 12 people were gonna convict her
-
the chances of you then statistically getting 12 people
-
that would all agree to that
-
and considering how much media attention
-
this case has gotten
-
I mean the chances of not having just one jury
-
or one juror hung up on this
-
is just basically a statistical zero
-
and so by and large you know this is my projection
-
my belief is they'll probably settle
-
or they'll probably you know try to have some kind
-
of a plea bargain or something
-
who knows what's gonna actually happen
-
I have no idea
-
but it does not appear that these three children
-
that have been slaughtered are gonna receive justice
-
and you know that's a curse on our nation
-
when people are slaughtering their children
-
and there's no justice served
-
that people are not caring
-
you know we're all the women in our country
-
standing somewhere and saying
-
we want justice for these three children
-
we stand with these three children
-
I mean what did an eight month old baby do
-
that it deserves to be slaughtered
-
and let me explain something to you
-
we were all eight month old babies at one point
-
barring the few infants that are in this room okay
-
I mean we basically all of us adults
-
we were eight months at some point
-
and let me explain something to you
-
when you were eight months old
-
you could not take care of yourself
-
you could not feed yourself
-
you could not change your own diapers
-
and you know what you needed someone
-
to take care of you and to provide for you
-
and you know what God bless our parents
-
and God bless the parents
-
that are taking care of their children
-
you know this is something that
-
should not be taken lightly
-
and the idea of parents
-
turning against their own children
-
is so unnatural
-
it's wicked it's satanic
-
it's a curse from God
-
it's a curse on our nation
-
that so many people are quote standing
-
with a murderer
-
and again I don't care what you think about the case
-
you know your opinion to me doesn't matter
-
because the facts of the case are
-
that her defense attorney said she did it
-
she admitted that she did it to multiple people
-
prior to the court hearing
-
and then from a premeditated perspective
-
she sent her husband away on purpose
-
so that she could do this
-
that is not someone just going crazy
-
that is someone planning
-
that is someone scheming
-
that is someone knowing what they're doing
-
on purpose
-
and so there's no way to get around
-
whether it was pre-made it said it or not
-
but let me explain my other position
-
if she was crazy
-
I still think you're guilty of murder
-
if you go crazy and you kill anybody
-
that I know or love
-
I'm going to say put them to death too
-
you know I mean can you imagine someone came to your house
-
and killed someone in your family
-
and they're like yeah but they were crazy
-
you'd be like I don't care
-
of course they're crazy
-
like they killed somebody
-
like why would I want to sit here
-
and justify that
-
you know we understand in America
-
and we believe in America
-
there's a difference between an accident
-
and intentional slaughter
-
we understand that there's a crime of passion
-
and that there's premeditated murder
-
and we have different classifications for these things
-
but at the end of the day
-
you know to say someone's crazy
-
so they shouldn't stand guilty of manslaughter
-
even or of homicide
-
is just backwards
-
it's not justice
-
this is not what the bible says
-
and show me one verse in the bible
-
where someone is not held accountable
-
for killing someone
-
because they were crazy
-
because of their mental state
-
and you don't think that God realized that women
-
after they give birth
-
are going to be hormonal
-
you don't think God realized that women
-
were going to have maybe the baby blues
-
or our struggle
-
with their hormone levels becoming normal again
-
that he wouldn't have just been like
-
hey I get it
-
after having a kid
-
it's really hard so if you kill him no big deal
-
like he didn't say that
-
he said it's so unnatural
-
it is a curse when they do such a thing
-
it's a curse for a woman
-
that's tender and delicate
-
to turn against their own children
-
and to slaughter them
-
in such a gruesome evil satanic way
-
you know this is a curse on our nation
-
go to Proverbs chapter 14 for a moment
Proverbs 14 chapter mention
-
go to Proverbs chapter 14
Proverbs 14 chapter mention
-
and I want to look at some more verses on this
-
but you know in America
-
unfortunately you know
-
I'm not trying to pit the sexes against each other
-
or say that women are quote worse than men
-
because I don't believe that
-
but what I do believe is that women
-
have a certain role in society
-
and when they usurp that position in society
-
you know there's consequences
-
and the bible warns about there being a curse on a society
-
when the women are in charge
-
when women are ruling over men
-
when women have just yielded all this power
-
that they're not supposed to have
-
and in America
-
if you just look at voting only
-
women are 64 percent for abortion being legal
-
whereas men are 55 percent
-
so again you know you could argue
-
that even if women were not allowed
-
to vote in our country
-
abortion would still be legal potentially
-
because 55 percent of men
-
are in support of it being legal in some cases
-
okay as far as identifying yourself as pro-choice
-
61 percent of women identify as pro-choice
-
41 percent of men are identifying themselves as pro-choice
-
and I would I would assume most of those men
-
their wives told them that they were that way
-
all right
-
for voting democrat 53 percent of women vote for democrat
-
46 percent of men
-
now here's the thing when it comes to politics like
-
it's not like voting republican makes you good
-
and voting democrat makes you bad
-
because let's just be honest
-
the republican party is of satan too
-
okay but here's the thing
-
on this specific issue that we're talking about
-
and slaughtering children
-
the democrats by and large are more in favor of that position
-
and that's often a reason why many people vote democrat
-
is because of this single issue
-
I've seen many videos and many people just openly declaring
-
like the only reason I vote democrat
-
is because they're pro-choice
-
or because of their stance on abortion specifically
-
and so that's the only reason I would bring that up
-
you know as far as other aspects of being a democrat
-
or other reasons to be a democrat versus republican or whatever
-
I don't really care
-
but for sake of our conversation this morning
-
there's a curse on our nation
-
when so many people are just so bloodthirsty
-
that they want to slaughter children
-
they want to kill children
-
and you know what
-
why do you not care about babies being killed
-
I mean as a parent the idea of your children being killed
-
is one of the worst nightmares you could possibly think of
-
you know
-
so think about other people's children and care a little bit
-
care about the slaughtering that's happening in our country
-
and realize that hey there's a curse on our nation
-
you know before we can solve any issue
-
we have to just identify the problem
-
we have to realize there is a problem in America
-
there's a problem in our country
-
there's a problem in society
-
there's a problem in our culture
-
there's a problem where women are wanting to slaughter their children
-
why they want that to be the law
-
why they want to have these things happen
-
and not even necessarily just before the womb
-
even after the womb
-
well it just we should stand with her anyways
-
because having kids is too hard or something
-
you know this is this is a satanic agenda
-
whether abortions are acceptable
-
61% of women say yes
-
only 41% of men say yes
-
you know this is a curse on our nation
-
and there is a major major issue
-
look at Proverbs 14 verse 1
-
every wise woman built their house
-
but the foolish plucked it down with her hands
-
and you know unfortunately
-
we look at someone like Lindsay Clancy
-
or other women that have recently done this
-
not only is this a metaphor
-
this is literal
-
and a sense that they have literally plucked down their house
-
with their own bare hands
-
Lindsay Clancy strangled her own children with her bare hands
-
I mean she used instruments as well
-
but I'm just saying that like this is grotesque
-
this is evil
-
this is horrific
-
you know as a nation we should be sad
-
at what's happened
-
we should be sad that there's so many people
-
that are acting like it's not a big deal
-
or acting like it should be excused
-
or acting like it's pardonable
-
or acting like it's not something that should be
-
met with extreme justice
-
you know it's a curse on our nation
-
and we've seen so many people
-
that are an embodiment of this attitude
-
of this heart
-
look at Malachi chapter four
-
it's almost the New Testament
-
basically right before the book of Matthew
-
so if you're in Matthew you just flip back
-
just a few pages and you're in Malachi
-
it's the last book of the Old Testament
-
and it's kind of a warning signal
-
that the Bible brings up
-
but it's a scary place
-
when you live in a society
-
where parents don't love their children
-
or vice versa
-
but notice what it says in Malachi chapter four
-
verse number six
-
says this is the last verse of the Old Testament
-
I mean this is it
-
don't you think that would be important
-
the last words that God has to mankind
-
in the Old Testament
-
Malachi chapter four verse six
-
and he shall turn the heart of the fathers
-
to the children
-
and the heart of the children to their fathers
-
lest I come and smite the earth with a curse
-
so the Bible is saying
-
hey if the parents do love their children
-
that's a good thing
-
but if they don't
-
what is God saying
-
He's going to curse the earth
-
and let me say something
-
when America and its parents
-
have turned against the children
-
God's cursing America for doing so
-
God will curse America
-
for women like Lindsey Clancy
-
doing what she did
-
and not seeing justice
-
for women committing abortion
-
and not seeing justice
-
for abortion doctors
-
to exist in our society
-
and not see justice
-
that is going to cause God
-
to curse our nation
-
and to curse our country
-
and to curse our land
-
and you know what it's evil
-
I want to go back to Deuteronomy
-
go back to Deuteronomy chapter 19
Deuteronomy 19 chapter mention
-
I'm just trying to prove this
-
in every direction possible
-
this is a curse
-
I don't want you to just
-
think oh no
-
it's just one case
-
or one scenario
-
it's not a big deal
-
no God is mad at a nation
-
God is mad at an area
-
that will not serve justice
-
and you know what
-
this did happen in Massachusetts
-
which is a pretty liberal area
-
maybe
-
maybe other states would not have
-
handled the situation this way
-
okay
-
and you know what
-
I would hope that Texas
-
or other states
-
would not have done this kind of crazy
-
particular situation
-
and if people were in a jury
-
from Texas
-
maybe it would be different
-
I don't know
-
I can't necessarily say
-
but I'll also say this
-
I wouldn't be entirely surprised
-
if it was a hung jury in Texas
-
maybe not 11 to 1
-
but maybe 3 to 9
-
but even if it was just 1
-
I mean that's enough
-
to have a similar result
-
and I'm telling you
-
this is a scary place to be in
-
when we will not serve justice
-
and we're just allowing
-
this curse to permeate our culture
-
because look
-
it's it's bad
-
but did you read the curse
-
it can get worse
-
it can get way worse
-
and there was a lot of curses
-
I didn't read
-
but there's a lot of curses
-
happening to our nation
-
and we cannot just sit here
-
and allow this stuff to go unchecked
-
Deuteronomy chapter 19
Deuteronomy 19 chapter mention
-
look at verse 11
-
but if a man ate his neighbor
-
and lying wait for him
-
and rise up against him
-
and smite him mortally
-
that he die
-
and flee then one of these cities
-
the elders of his city
-
shall sin and fetch him
-
thence and deliver him
-
in thy hand of the avenger
-
of blood that he may die
-
thine eye shall not pity him
-
but thou shalt put away
-
the guilt of innocent blood
-
from Israel
-
that it may go wealthy
-
you are not allowed
-
to have someone go to a sanctuary city
-
that's guilty of premeditated murder
-
the bible says
-
you have to slaughter this person
-
you are not allowed to pity them
-
it doesn't say
-
well
-
but she was having a hard time
-
or
-
well it was difficult
-
or she took drugs
-
or she didn't take drugs
-
or whatever
-
it's like no
-
it's just hey
-
if you committed
-
premeditated murder
-
you deserve the death penalty
-
and if you don't give it
-
well then you know what
-
God is going to hold you guilty
-
for innocent blood
-
and even if they did find a sanctuary city
-
we as a nation
-
should be like
-
you know what
-
this isn't be tolerated
-
and that person needs to be with the death
-
and you know
-
this would be something where
-
unfortunately
-
honestly if our federal government
-
was going to usurp
-
its authority
-
or
-
overstretch its authority on states
-
it would be something like this
-
saying hey
-
we can't allow states
-
to not execute the death penalty
-
and so y'all need to actually
-
execute the death penalty
-
because you know
-
we have all kinds of times
-
where the federal government
-
has stepped in
-
and done this kind of stuff
-
you know where they said
-
well some states are
-
not enforcing
-
you know slavery
-
and some are
-
and so we had a big push
-
to basically
-
from a federal perspective
-
you know end and abolish slavery
-
well a lot of people would say
-
that was a good thing
-
that we have forced that
-
on many states
-
the states are supposed to be sovereign
-
our federal government
-
supposed to be limited
-
but in some cases
-
they say hey
-
we have to have equal enforcement of the law
-
as a nation
-
as a country
-
in these circumstances
-
and you know what
-
if a state
-
will not put
-
murderers to death
-
premeditated murder
-
honestly from a federal perspective
-
I think they have the precedent
-
to actually enforce that
-
and you know what the bible is saying
-
you cannot allow
-
well that city does it
-
no big deal
-
no no no
-
as a nation
-
as a country
-
you're supposed to say
-
we don't allow any sanctuary cities
-
for premeditated murder
-
they do allow sanctuary cities
-
for manslaughter
-
and that's a different category
-
and we can talk about that later
-
if you do accidental manslaughter
-
the bible has a precedent
-
for sanctuary city
-
but for
-
premeditated murder
-
you deserve the death penalty
-
that's the justice
-
and you know what
-
as a nation
-
we should be condemning
-
any area
-
any country
-
any state
-
any jurisdiction
-
that will not uphold the law
-
and do what's right
-
I think massachusetts
-
has already gotten rid of the death penalty anyways
-
which I just
-
I can't even fathom
-
I don't even understand
-
how you would do such a thing
-
but
-
go to psalm 106
-
you know think about this
-
we will not put a serial killer to death
-
in some states
-
someone could be a literal serial killer
-
we will not put them to death
-
but they can
-
go into a hospital
-
and just kill a baby
-
right
-
they can go into some clinic
-
some plan parenthood clinic
-
and just literally
-
murder an innocent child
-
innocent baby
-
in its womb
-
that's fine
-
but we couldn't put a serial killer to death
-
it's they're not against death
-
they're not against killing things
-
it's just like
-
we don't kill the serial killer
-
don't kill the rapist
-
don't kill the murderer
-
kill unborn children
-
I mean this is insane the culture that we live in
-
and again it's a curse
-
because of the mindset
-
that's affecting American
-
infecting Americans
-
and affecting people
-
and you know unfortunately
-
a lot of people are soft on this issue
-
they're soft on this issue
-
because they've been lied to
-
because media and culture
-
and all these things
-
have been lying to people
-
satan is going full time
-
trying to get everybody to believe
-
this nonsense
-
and believe lies
-
and it's worked
-
and there's a heart
-
that's against the things of god
-
and against the bible
-
but you know what
-
you came to a church this morning
-
where we actually believe the bible
-
and so we're going to read the bible
-
that's right
-
look at Psalm 106
-
look at verse 136
-
I'm sorry verse 36
-
sorry just verse 36
-
and they served their idols
-
which were a snare under them
-
yea they sacrificed their sons
-
and their daughters onto devils
-
and shed innocent blood
-
even the blood of their sons
-
and of their daughters
-
whom they sacrificed
-
on the idols of Canaan
-
and the land was polluted with blood
-
thus were they defiled
-
with their own works
-
and went a whoring
-
with their own inventions
-
therefore was the wrath of the lord
-
kindled against his people
-
in so much that he abhorred
-
his own inheritance
-
notice there's a
-
multiplicity of issues here
-
but one of the issues
-
is sacrificing their children
-
to false gods
-
and you know even today
-
if you ask many abortion doctors
-
and many people committing these
-
atrocities they'll say
-
yea I'm doing this for satan
-
and whether they're saying that
-
ingest or not I don't really care
-
because they are in a sense
-
and you know what it's wicked
-
it's wicked and it's a satanic agenda
-
and I don't care if you have an idol there
-
or not
-
slaughtering a child is wicked
-
it's evil
-
it's one of the worst things imaginable
-
and you know what it makes God mad
-
it makes God so mad
-
that he says he's gonna have wrath
-
against his people
-
wrath against his people
-
that's a curse against his people
-
oh well we're saved
-
we're Christian
-
or whatever God would never be mad at us
-
nope he said did you read the bible
-
I read it
-
therefore was the wrath of Lord kindled
-
against his people
-
he doesn't say here
-
that he's mad
-
at people that are not his
-
or just the bad people
-
he said his people
-
because you know what
-
God can still get mad at a Christian
-
God can still get mad at his people
-
when they're allowing
-
children to be slaughtered
-
and killed
-
or they commit such a grievous sin
-
God can still be mad at you
-
and you know I'm not gonna lie to you
-
people that commit abortion
-
that made God very angry
-
now look could someone be forgiven
-
sure
-
but at the end of the day
-
we can't we can't say that
-
God wasn't mad about it
-
you know if the children of Israel said
-
God we're sorry
-
God we repent
-
God we're gonna turn away from our idols
-
and we're gonna turn away from
-
all this slaughtering of children
-
and we're gonna go back to the Lord
-
in many cases he indicates
-
he would forgive them
-
heal their land
-
and fix the issue
-
but we can't sit here and pretend
-
that God isn't mad at it
-
we can't pretend that God isn't gonna
-
pour out his wrath
-
on people
-
that are performing these works
-
or tolerating these works
-
accepting these works
-
Leviticus chapter 20 makes it clear
Leviticus 20 chapter mention
-
when people are doing this
-
and we turn our eye away
-
then God's gonna hold us guilty as well
-
and I'm not gonna go for there
-
for a second time
-
there's there's too much to be said
-
but I want to go to
-
Matthew 24 now
-
in the New Testament
-
and I want to give a warning because
-
you know
-
what we've been talking about
-
is a curse on the children of Israel
-
that I see happening in America as well
-
so we have
-
the curse brought up in the law
-
we see it fulfilled
-
specifically in 2 Kings chapter 6
2 Kings 6 chapter mention
-
where this literally happens
-
and then of course
-
I believe it's a prophetic warning
-
against any nation that would do
-
similar activities
-
but it's also warning about the end times
-
and how we're gonna see
-
our culture
-
and the world
-
basically under the curse of God
-
and performing a lot of these
-
evil wicked acts as well
-
and the Bible warns
-
that there will be coming a day
-
when men will be like this
-
look at Matthew chapter 24
Matthew 24 chapter mention
-
and I want to look at
-
verses 8 through 10
-
now
-
we're gonna go back to 2 Kings as well
-
but I just kind of want to
-
look at some end times here
-
look at Matthew 24
-
look at verse 8
-
all these are the beginning of sorrows
-
then shall they deliver you up
-
to be afflicted
-
and shall kill you
-
and you should be hated
-
of all nations for my namesake
-
and then shall many be offended
-
and shall betray one another
-
and shall hate one another
-
now
-
go to Luke 21
-
we're gonna see a parallel
-
it tells us that a lot of people
-
are gonna hate us
-
or hate the disciples of Christ
-
now in Luke 21
-
it gets even more specific about this
-
look at verse number 16
-
Luke 21 verse 16 it says
-
and ye shall be betrayed
-
both by parents
-
and brethren
-
and kinsfolk
-
and friends
-
and some of you
-
so they cause we put the death
-
and ye shall be hated of all men
-
for my namesake
-
so we see a curse that's kind of a
-
prophecy in the book of Malachi
-
about hey when parents
-
are turned against their children
-
and children are turned against
-
their parents
-
he's gonna come and curse the earth
-
and he wants
-
you know John the Baptist
-
was supposed to turn the hearts
-
of the parents back to the children
-
and turn the children's hearts
-
back to their parents
-
so that God would not curse the land
-
but when we have
-
just this animosity
-
when we have this angst
-
between parents and children
-
back and forth
-
well then God curses a nation
-
and curses a country
-
and curses the world
-
as a result of doing so
-
I mean one of the biggest commandments
-
in the bible
-
is to honor thy father and mother
-
and that determines the length of your life
-
this is the first commandment
-
given a promise
-
you know parents
-
should love their children
-
children should love their parents
-
this is natural
-
this is normal
-
and it's a curse
-
when this is not happening
-
and the end times is a cursed time
-
it's a cursed generation
-
it's a cursed group of people
-
where you have parents
-
rising up against their children
-
you have children
-
rising up against their parents
-
putting them to death
-
and you know as a country
-
we should see this as a warning sign
-
and say hey
-
we shouldn't allow this
-
we shouldn't tolerate this
-
we shouldn't be championing this
-
we shouldn't be encouraging this
-
we should be speaking against this
-
we should try to slow that down
-
we should try to prevent that
-
in our generation
-
but it does
-
it is gonna eventually happen
-
look at 2nd Timothy chapter 3
-
go to 2nd Timothy chapter 3
-
and what's interesting is
-
we see a destruction of the family
-
in the end times
-
so we see it in previous generations
-
previous examples
-
but it's like
-
what's interesting is how
-
first it's parents against children
-
and children against parents
-
and then everybody just starts blaming Christians
-
it's like everybody just goes against Christians
-
and the Bible warns about this
-
look at 2nd Timothy chapter 3 verse 1
-
also done in the last days
-
perilous times shall come
-
the word perilous means dangerous
-
dangerous
-
for men should be lovers of their own selves
-
covetous boasters proud blasphemers
-
notice this
-
disobedient to parents
-
and the next word really seems to fit
-
unthankful
-
you know why a lot of children
-
disobey their parents
-
they're just very unthankful
-
for what their parents have done for them
-
changing all their diapers
-
feeding them loving them
-
clothing them being there for them
-
you know how many times does the kids vomit
-
and you have to clean it up
-
I don't want to clean that up
-
I mean just all the heartache
-
all the woe all the care
-
all the worry
-
I mean my wife worries about her kids
-
more than I can even think
-
she just tells me only the thought
-
she has for our kids
-
and I'm thinking like
-
I haven't even had that many thoughts
-
let alone about the kids
-
like I don't even think that much
-
I mean she cares so much more than I do
-
she'll be like all last night
-
I had a hard time sleeping
-
because I was just thinking about the kids
-
and worried about this
-
she's like what about you
-
and I'm just like
-
I just went to sleep
-
I don't know I'm just like whatever
-
and it's not that I don't love my children
-
I'm just trying to say by comparison
-
I mean the thoughts and the care
-
and the attention and the love
-
that my wife has for my kids
-
it cannot be matched
-
it's normal it's natural
-
it's what should be happening
-
it's sad and it's grievous
-
that children would not appreciate that
-
and be unthankful
-
for all the love and care and attention
-
that parents have for their children
-
and even if you didn't have the best parents in the world
-
even if your parents weren't the greatest
-
even if your parents made mistakes
-
look you needed so much care and attention
-
for those first few years of your life
-
you should just be thankful period
-
and it doesn't even matter anything else
-
just that alone
-
because you wouldn't even be here
-
and it gets worse
-
it says unholy
-
and notice this verse 3
-
without natural affection
-
and we see that
-
we're seeing more of this
-
we're seeing an escalation of this
-
where women are not having a natural affection
-
for children
-
for their own children
-
but rather have turned against their children
-
look at them as a burden
-
look at them as a
-
as a curse under themselves
-
as something holding them back
-
and look it's not to say that children
-
don't have their hardships
-
don't have their difficulties
-
because they do
-
but that shouldn't be the only way
-
you look at something
-
you know some people
-
would say I love my job
-
but that's not because the job isn't work
-
it is work
-
but they're just appreciative that they have that job
-
they're appreciative that they have that work
-
and so yeah children are work
-
but you know what we shouldn't be looking at it
-
like it's just work
-
we should be looking at it like it's a blessing
-
to get to have that work
-
it's a blessing to have that job
-
it's a blessing to have that opportunity
-
and not having this attitude of like
-
ah it's just such a burden
-
ah it's just so it's so bad
-
you know this is a
-
this is the wrong attitude
-
and it's showing a lack of natural affection
-
which is a warning of the end times
-
I want to go back to 2nd Kings chapter 6
-
so we've identified a few things
-
number one we've identified
-
that when women and men
-
are turned against their children
-
it's a result of God cursing a nation
-
and when
-
children are being slaughtered
-
and there's no justice served
-
God is going to pour out his wrath
-
and curse on a nation that does so
-
and we've seen that in the end times
-
that's what it's going to be like
-
it's going to be a very difficult
-
difficult time to be in
-
I don't know how rampant that's going to be
-
I don't know how widespread that's going to be
-
you know unfortunately we already see it happening
-
and escalating
-
I mean there's not a lot
-
in my mind holding us back
-
from even entering into an end time scenario
-
I you know I do believe personally
-
that we'll probably see another temple being built
-
I do think that we'll see animal sacrifices return
-
and so personally I don't think that it can happen
-
anytime in the next few years at all
-
and I'm not even planning that it's going to happen
-
in my lifetime
-
I plan to live to be 100
-
okay
-
so I don't want you to get a weird idea
-
I grew up in a church
-
where I thought the end times are going to happen
-
every second
-
because that's what the preacher said
-
they're like it could happen right now
-
there was a guy I saw at a kids conference
-
in California
-
saying that it was extremely extremely
-
extremely extremely likely
-
that Jesus was coming back before he finished his sermon
-
I mean that
-
I mean just why are you striking fear
-
into children's hearts like that
-
and such an unfounded fear
-
and such a lie
-
and such a strange idea and concept
-
but I remember so many times
-
as a child
-
praying like
-
can I pleasantly get married
-
you know I was like
-
can you just wait
-
because I was just
-
I really desired to have a wife
-
and have a family
-
and I just I really I
-
wanted to grow up a little bit
-
and to get to be on my own
-
and I think especially as I become
-
a teenager and stuff
-
you have a strong desire
-
to be on your own
-
and be married
-
and have a family of your own
-
it's just exciting
-
and it is exciting
-
it's fun
-
and so I just remember just thinking like
-
oh man
-
it's scary
-
and there's always problems in the Middle East
-
there's always problems with Israel
-
whatever
-
and I just thought
-
oh the rapture could happen at any second
-
it was it was funny
-
because there was this one time where
-
we were having
-
extended family come into town
-
it's like my sister and whole
-
her family came into town
-
and we just have everybody at the house
-
and it was just like a huge
-
gathering
-
family gathering
-
and we couldn't find my mom
-
and it was weird
-
it was like
-
why would you not
-
like my mom is like
-
the the central unit to the family
-
she's always cooking
-
she's always in the kitchen
-
we couldn't find her
-
and it's been like hours
-
and this is like the weirdest thing like
-
you're at a family function
-
to not find mom in the middle of a day
-
and I just remember some people in our family being like
-
did she get raptured
-
and all of us are left behind
-
I'm just like
-
no that's stupid
-
you know
-
but like they thought
-
and she just
-
she had just
-
taken a plate of food to our neighbor
-
who was like an elderly lady
-
and the lady had roped her into
-
like a several hour long conversation
-
and she just felt bad
-
and she didn't tell anybody
-
so I mean she had just
-
I mean we're just like
-
did she get kidnapped
-
I mean like
-
what happened
-
because it was just so crazy
-
but it was just funny
-
that again
-
it was it was something that was on our minds like
-
did she get raptured
-
because you know
-
I guess the pre-tribbers
-
they just think
-
anything could be the rapture
-
and they're always scared or whatever
-
that's crazy
-
okay
-
and I don't think that we should live
-
on the edge
-
of our lives
-
like we just think
-
that the end is coming
-
just every second
-
every moment
-
but the bible does tell us to watch
-
and the bible does say
-
hey there's gonna be an escalation
-
but I believe
-
that when we're in the end times
-
we won't be wondering
-
okay I don't think
-
that we'll be wondering
-
or curious
-
I think it's gonna be so evident
-
we don't even need to ask the question
-
okay so don't get so worried
-
don't don't
-
stop living your life
-
live your life okay
-
but at the end of the day
-
I do also believe that if
-
if christians by and large
-
just kind of let go
-
of christianity
-
that we just
-
we might as
-
this is like
-
pressing the accelerator
-
on the end times
-
or something
-
and why would you want to do that
-
you know
-
we should might as well
-
try to stay off the curses
-
of god and our nation
-
and for your family as well
-
but in 2 Kings chapter 6
2 Kings 6 chapter mention
-
we read a little bit here
-
look at verse 29 again
-
so we boiled my son and did eat him
-
and I said on earth on the next day
-
give thy son that we may eat him
-
and she had hit her son
-
and it came to pass when the king
-
heard the words of the woman
-
that he rent his clothes
-
and he passed by upon the wall
-
and the people looked and behold
-
he had sat cloth within upon his flesh
-
now
-
his initial reaction sounds great
-
because he's he's upset
-
he's like I mean
-
can you imagine hearing this
-
you're the king
-
and your your own people
-
are eating their children
-
I mean just just the sadness
-
this is a sad state of affairs
-
this is the obvious curse on their nation
-
but then look what
-
this is his response
-
verse 31
-
then he said
-
God do so and more also to me
-
if the head of Elisha
-
the son of Shefat
-
shall stay on him this day
-
what the heck
-
a woman says
-
I I boiled my son and ate him
-
please help me eat someone else's son
-
and he's like
-
let's kill the preacher
-
let's kill a man of God
-
how does that even make sense
-
it's like
-
hey let's go back to the law
-
and let's read Deuteronomy 28
-
because they had the law
-
the king was supposed to even
-
write himself a copy of the law
-
he could go back and say like
-
oh wow God's cursing us
-
because we're not obeying him
-
maybe we should listen
-
to the man of God
-
that's been telling us
-
to repent as a nation
-
and to get right with God as a nation
-
but no
-
he hardens his heart
-
and actually turns against
-
the man of God even more
-
and you know what's sad
-
is you have people
-
getting up and condemning Lindsay Clancy
-
and condemning premeditated murder
-
and you know who they get mad at
-
they get mad at the preacher
-
not the woman that slaughtered her children
-
the man of God that gets up and says
-
hey
-
this deserves the death penalty
-
this deserves punishment
-
this is something that should not go unchecked
-
and of course one of the
-
the platforms
-
social media platforms
-
that specifically has escalated
-
this rhetoric is TikTok
-
and I tried to post a video
-
on there
-
just saying that she deserves the death penalty
-
it immediately violated
-
their community guidelines
-
and they just took it down
-
which again is just a reflection
-
of what's happening
-
in our culture and society
-
you say what the bible says
-
you're banned
-
you go on there
-
and you advocate for women
-
to follow in footsteps
-
of Lindsay Clancy
-
you're praised
-
and you get all kinds of views
-
because there's a satanic agenda
-
by the internet
-
by social media companies
-
by the people that run them
-
and yes we all know they wear tiny hats
-
I get it
-
but I'm just saying
-
that yes
-
because they're the synagogue of satan
-
because they're the ministers of satan
-
and a satan's agenda
-
to slaughter children
-
but isn't it interesting
-
they turn against the man of God
-
and let me say something
-
in the end times
-
it's going to be nothing different
-
that there'll be a
-
a grievous nation
-
that are killing their own children
-
worshiping idols
-
going after false gods
-
and christians saying
-
hey you shouldn't do that
-
and they're going to turn against you
-
and they're going to hate you
-
and they're going to get mad at you
-
for believing the bible
-
but you know what
-
choose you this day
-
whom you're going to serve
-
now I do have some good news
-
Good Isaiah chapter three
-
if you would
-
Good Isaiah chapter three
-
because you know
-
if we can't write this ship
-
as a nation
-
which is probably not going to happen
-
but if we can't
-
that doesn't mean
-
that you as an individual
-
cannot still
-
be blessed as an individual
-
okay
-
and I want to go to Isaiah
-
because this is a precursor
-
to what happened
-
in 2 Kings chapter six
-
this is a precursor
-
and a warning
-
and God's kind of talking about
-
the nation already being bad
-
and why he's going to end up judging them
-
but Isaiah chapter three
-
looking verse one
-
for behold the Lord
-
the Lord of hosts
-
that take away from Jerusalem
-
and from Judah
-
the stay and the staff
-
the whole stay of bread
-
and the whole stay of water
-
so this is like
-
talking about famine
-
the coming
-
the mighty man
-
the man of war
-
the judge
-
and the prophet
-
and the prudent
-
and the ancient
-
the captain of 50
-
and the honorable man
-
and the counselor
-
and the cunning
-
artificer
-
and the eloquent orator
-
he says
-
what is this group
-
he's saying
-
I'm going to take these people away
-
okay
-
so you're not going to have
-
a mighty man ruling your nation
-
you're not going to have man of war
-
you're not going to have judges
-
you're not going to have prophets
-
you're not going to have prudent
-
you're not going to have ancients
-
you're not going to have captain of 50
-
you're not going to have honorable men
-
you're not going to have counselors
-
you're not going to have skilled
-
businessmen
-
you're not going to have eloquent
-
speakers
-
Now, again, it's not saying that these people don't exist in society.
-
It's saying these people are not the ones in charge.
-
These are the ones not ruling.
-
These are the ones not having the power.
-
Who has the power?
-
Verse four, and I will give children to be their princes and babes shall rule.
-
So it's like instead of having the strong guy, the smart guy, the hard worker, the
-
true businessman, a man of God, a preacher that's in charge of the nation, that's
-
ruling the nation.
-
You're going to have a child ruling the nation, a child like Nick Fuentes.
-
You're going to have a child like Mr.
-
Beast. You're going to have children in our nation that are wielding all of this
-
power and influence and just making the culture what it is.
-
You're not going to have people listening to an actual man of God, to an
-
actually person that actually worked hard or earned a living, or is someone
-
that you should be looking to, or a smart, wise old man.
-
You know, we're not listening to Ron Paul, we're listening to Mr.
-
Beast.
-
We're not listening to someone that we should be giving respect to.
-
It just, it just doesn't exist in our society.
-
He says in verse five, and the people shall be oppressed, everyone by another.
-
You know, you know what this made me think of?
-
And this is my first thought, okay?
-
Whether you agree or not, I'm not going to, I'm not trying to piss me
-
off, but you know what I thought?
-
Is how every single cash register now has a tip option.
-
We're just going to press each other, we, we, we can't even serve one
-
another without a tip, right?
-
It's like the gas station guy, I have to tip him?
-
Like what?
-
And you know, in times past, they used to pump your gas for you without a tip.
-
Now, they do nothing for you behind a glass, you know, plate or whatever,
-
and it's smelly and dirty in there.
-
And you know, to use the bathroom is like an experience.
-
Okay.
-
And I have to tip this person?
-
Like this is a weird, we're just oppressing one another.
-
And everybody's charging usher to everyone.
-
And you know, use a credit card.
-
It's 3% added on, surcharges.
-
You go to, I mean, talk about oppression, just rent a hotel.
-
And then look at the thing, it's just like, this tax and this tax
-
and this service tax, and you're just like, what the heck?
-
It's like, it's $99 a night.
-
And then it's like, you get the bill, it's $215.
-
Like, what the heck?
-
Why?
-
Just like all these different taxes and fees.
-
You know, every company's being like this right now.
-
Every company is just jacking up the fees and the rates
-
and the surcharges and the whatever.
-
And just we're all just oppressing each other.
-
And we're all just ripping each other off.
-
And we're all charging usher to everybody.
-
And every company is charging usher to everyone.
-
And it's just, we're just all just state, just everybody,
-
just oppressing every other person.
-
Just full of oppression.
-
It says, everyone by his neighbor, the child shall behave
-
himself proudly against the ancient and the base against the honorable.
-
Meaning, kids think they're smarter than their parents.
-
Kids think they're better than older people.
-
And look, of course, because of technology, this attitude
-
has really escalated.
-
Kids think because they understand how TikTok works
-
or something or Snapchat, that they're so much smarter
-
than their parents or something.
-
It's like, oh, you don't know how to click and flip
-
and switch and whatever on this stupid app.
-
And it's like, no.
-
And it's like, oh, you're so stupid.
-
Let me take an embarrassing photo of myself and send it to my friends
-
that's going to haunt me for the rest of my life
-
because I'm so much smarter than my parents.
-
And it's like, my parents don't even know how to do that.
-
My parents don't know how to permanently embarrass themselves
-
for all time on this stupid app called Snapchat.
-
They're so dumb.
-
But you know what they don't realize is there's a great wisdom
-
that comes with being older.
-
We've been through life circumstances
-
that you don't even realize.
-
And in many cases, parents are so much smarter than their children
-
and they won't realize until they become their parents.
-
And they'll be like, wow, my parents were so much smarter
-
than I thought.
-
So much, they had so much more wisdom than I realized.
-
And I was, I had a bad attitude.
-
I had a bad spirit.
-
But you know what?
-
The child should behave himself proudly against the ancient.
-
I mean, this is just, this is an example
-
of what can happen as a nation.
-
And, and of course it's a curse to have children ruling over you.
-
But, but not only curse for, for women, or I'm sorry,
-
for children, but also women.
-
Look at verse 11.
-
It says, woe unto the wicked, it shall be ill with him,
-
for the ward of his hands shall be given him.
-
As for my people, children are the oppressors
-
and women rule over them.
-
O my people, they which leave thee causly to air
-
and destroy the way of thy paths.
-
Now, someone might say, oh, you're a sexist for saying,
-
having women rulers is a bad thing.
-
But I'm just reading what the Bible said.
-
God has said that.
-
God said, and women rule over them.
-
And then it says, what happens?
-
They leave thee causly to air and destroy the way of thy paths.
-
So he's saying, when you, when you elevate women
-
in these positions of authority, then it's going to destroy you.
-
Now, let's be honest.
-
There's plenty of great women in this world.
-
And you know, the Proverbs 31 is talking about a great woman.
-
But let's be honest.
-
Do you think the woman who's busy having a husband,
-
raising a whole bunch of kids and taking care of her household
-
is going to the one that's going to elevate
-
to the positions of power and authority?
-
Or is it going to be the woman that slaughtered all her kids
-
or decided not to have kids or whatever?
-
That's just a boss babe.
-
And so, of course, that's the type of woman
-
that usually is in power, a Hillary Clinton,
-
some kind of like an Ellen degenerate,
-
some kind of a Hollywood actress that gets up and brags
-
was Michelle Williams brags about committing abortion
-
so she can get an Emmy, some golden statue.
-
Oh, we don't have idols.
-
People aren't sacrificing their children to idols.
-
And the Michelle Williams gets up and says,
-
hey, look at this golden idol that I have.
-
And the only reason I could even have it
-
is because I killed my child.
-
We need to be pro-choice and tells that to all of America
-
and tells that to millions of young women today.
-
How is that any different?
-
What's the difference there?
-
Some golden man statue that she says she had to
-
slaughter her children in order to receive.
-
How is it any different?
-
It's the same attitude, it's the same spirit
-
that we see happening in our culture and it's gross.
-
It's gross when you allow women to slaughter their children
-
and then elevate themselves into positions of power
-
and authority in our nation and they are going to
-
lead thee and cause thee to err
-
and destroy your country, destroy everything about you.
-
I said there was positive news.
-
I haven't gotten there, okay?
-
It's in this chapter.
-
We skipped it, all right?
-
Look at verse 10.
-
Say ye to the righteous, that it should be well with him.
-
For they shall eat the fruit of the doings.
-
So this is the positive message of the Sorm Room this morning.
-
Hey, as a nation, we need to realize we're under a curse of God.
-
We need to realize there is a feminism disease of the mind
-
in America right now and is destroying our nation.
-
And we should be seeking God as a nation.
-
We should be repenting as a nation.
-
We should be turning back to the Lord as a nation.
-
But even if the nation won't as a whole,
-
we as individuals need to do so.
-
And if you are righteous, if you repent,
-
if you get right with the Lord, well, you know what?
-
It can be well with you, even in the midst of destruction.
-
Because he's talking about, hey, this is a horrific time
-
and there's all these evils and there's children oppressing
-
and there's women ruling and there's all this crazy nonsense.
-
Say ye to the righteous.
-
He doesn't say you're doomed too.
-
He says, hey, it'll be well with you because you're going
-
to be awarded according to your works.
-
So you know what?
-
You can still live in Goshen while you're living in the midst
-
of a crooked and perverse nation.
-
And you know what?
-
That should be a positive message because unfortunately
-
when I look at America, there's not a lot of positives.
-
But here's the positive.
-
God's word still works and God can still bless you
-
in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation.
-
And so you know what?
-
You need to, as men and as women and as families,
-
we need to observe God's law here.
-
Now I have a few charges to the men because unfortunately,
-
you know, it's kind of their fault, in a sense,
-
of why we're in this situation.
-
Go to Proverbs 31.
-
And if America were to fix itself, it needs to start with the men.
-
And I want to prove this biblically.
-
But you know, the Bible says for fathers to not prostitute
-
thy daughter, lest it causes the whole land to fall to hoard them.
-
And so, you know, one of the things that we need to do as men
-
is we need to realize that we're in charge.
-
Congratulations, you're in charge.
-
Don't give your power and authority to someone else.
-
Look at Proverbs 31 and look what it says in verse number three.
-
Give not thy strength unto women,
-
nor thy ways that was destroyed the kings.
-
Did he say, hey, women are in charge?
-
Ask them nicely to be put back in charge.
-
No, men are already in charge.
-
But what he did say is don't give your strength unto them.
-
Don't give your power and authority unto them.
-
We need to realize we're in control and unfortunately many men
-
have decided to give their power and authority to women.
-
And we need to not do that.
-
I mean, this is a command of the Bible.
-
As a man, as a king, as a nation,
-
we should not give our strength unto women.
-
OK. Now, good.
-
If you would have first Timothy chapter two,
-
go to first to me chapter two.
-
I'm trying to prove these points.
-
So if you get offended, you're just offended to the Bible this morning.
-
But I'm trying to be honest with you
-
that this is what the Bible clearly teaches.
-
And men need to not give their strength unto women.
-
And what would be that?
-
That would be feminism. OK.
-
Now, I basically just have three quick points that I'm going to outlay.
-
This is what men as Americans and men as individuals need to do.
-
But we need to reject feminism.
-
And this is I'm talking the attitude, the mentality.
-
We need to say, no, we're in charge and we're the men.
-
Because what is feminism?
-
Feminism is trying to say there should be equality between the sexes.
-
And we should say, no,
-
men are in charge.
-
It's that it's that simple.
-
First time in the chapter two, verse 11,
-
let the woman learn in silence is all subjection,
-
but I suffer not a woman to teach,
-
nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
-
This is saying we should put feminism in its place
-
and make feminism feminine again.
-
Hey, you want to be a feminine woman, praise God,
-
but you cannot be a man. You're not a man.
-
You'll never be a man.
-
And so we need men to be in charge.
-
We need men to be an authority
-
and we need men to not give their strength unto women.
-
And one of those ways was the 19th Amendment
-
of allowing women to vote.
-
And look, I'm not I'm not saying that women couldn't vote correctly
-
because I'm sure they can.
-
But by and large, when you give women this opportunity,
-
you're surping the authority over the man and it's unbiblical.
-
OK, this is the first wave of feminism.
-
The first wave of feminism is to give them the opportunity
-
to vote on property contracts, education, all these different things
-
where they're making their own decisions
-
apart from what their husband or father wanted.
-
And you know what it put them where they're flipping the roll
-
and they get to make these decisions for themselves.
-
And that is the first wave.
-
And let me say this, there are many people that say,
-
oh, the first wave is good. I say it's wrong.
-
OK, and you know what it really did is it killed marriage.
-
The first wave of feminism killed marriage
-
because it now no longer put the man in charge.
-
It has the woman being able to make whatever decisions she wants.
-
The second wave was basically in the 60s and 80s,
-
which was my body, my choice,
-
which is killing their children through abortion.
-
The first wave killed the marriage.
-
The second wave killed the children.
-
The third wave was DEI, so that killed the workplace.
-
The fourth wave I'm seeing right now is Lindsey Clancy,
-
which is killing the law.
-
And if we get the fifth wave, we'll just kill the nation.
-
And we've killed marriage, we've killed children,
-
we've killed the workplace, we've killed the law.
-
At this point, there's not much left to destroy a nation.
-
And we're really close.
-
And what we need as men is to say, hey, you know what?
-
Before we just let the train go off the tracks,
-
before we just let everything get destroyed,
-
we need to go back and seek God and seek God's roles in life
-
and say, oh, God said to not give our strength under women.
-
We need to resume control of our nation.
-
And we need to be back in charge and submit to God
-
and humbly ask God to forgive us for getting out of control.
-
You know, Adam ate of the apple and it was wrong.
-
And, you know, I'm not going to prove this,
-
but in Numbers chapter 30, I can prove this really clear
Numbers 30 chapter mention
-
in the Bible that if a woman makes a vow,
-
and her husband or father says no, then God says no.
-
I mean, what more authority do you need?
-
And of course, that's what it was like before the first wave of feminism,
-
that the husband and the father had a final veto in these affairs
-
and that women could not make those decisions without the blessing
-
or support of their husband or their father.
-
And I believe that is the right way to have a society.
-
OK, you can get mad at me all you want,
-
but that's what men need to do.
-
Men need to not be afraid of women and need to say, hey,
-
God put you in this role and we need to exercise our authority
-
and I'm not going to give my strength under you.
-
The second way you do not give your strength under them is fornication.
-
Men in America need to stop committing fornication.
-
And it's destroying our society.
-
You know, men control all the power and all the wealth and everything.
-
If men said, hey, you're not in charge
-
and I'm not going to commit fornication with you,
-
women would lose their power in this country.
-
You know why women yield power in our country?
-
Well, number one, we've given the right to vote
-
and we've given them positions of authority in our country, literally.
-
Then secondly, they yield the fornication power over men.
-
It's Samson and Delilah, folks.
-
Samson, a strong man, he yielded his strength unto this woman, Delilah.
-
And she took advantage of it.
-
If he was only going to marry a woman and stay faithful to her
-
that loved God, that couldn't even happen.
-
But unfortunately, by chasing horrors, by chasing adultery, by chasing these things,
-
men give their power unto women and they give them an inordinate amount
-
of power and influence.
-
I mean, there's a lot of women that don't want to work.
-
So what do they do?
-
They just sell their bodies online.
-
Yeah.
-
It's just a button they can press.
-
But what if that button was taken away?
-
Well, they would figure out the power imbalance, the power struggle,
-
the fact that they can't provide for themselves.
-
But because men are just giving out their money to horrors right now online,
-
which is insane.
-
It's literally insane.
-
And we're destroying our nation and our country.
-
I mean, we should make prostitution and online smut illegal tomorrow.
-
And look, it's not that it's not a temptation.
-
That's the whole reason we need to shut it down.
-
It is a temptation.
-
It's like, hey, let's build a huge fortress around this tree in the center
-
of the garden so we don't eat it, right?
-
It's like, it's not that this isn't a temptation.
-
It's not that men, even good men, won't fall for that temptation.
-
That's the whole reason we do need to shut it down.
-
And we do need to have a moment of sobriety.
-
And we do need to say no to that kind of stuff.
-
And you know what?
-
Men need to stop this.
-
Men need to stop giving their power and wealth under hordom,
-
under fortification, under adultery.
-
We want to sit here and blame Lindsey Clancy for our nation going bad.
-
But okay, how about men stop committing so much fortification
-
and going after hordom so much?
-
How about men stop giving them all this power and authority?
-
I mean, it's crazy.
-
I have so many verses on this, but you know, for a second time,
-
I'm just going to give you my last point.
-
Here's the last thing you need to do is you need to not go
-
to a church that's feminist, and this would solve our problems.
-
If men would say we're going to reject feminism,
-
we're not going to allow that in our society anymore.
-
It's over.
-
No more 19th Amendment, no more power, no more influence.
-
None of this stuff, it's gone.
-
Number two, they don't commit fortification and adultery.
-
They get married to one woman and they're faithful to her.
-
And then they decide, hey, we're going to shut
-
down every church that's advocating feminist principles.
-
We would solve our nation.
-
We would fix our nation.
-
I'm not saying that this is hyperbole.
-
I'm saying this is real.
-
If men in America would get more interested in solving
-
this feminism problem than football season,
-
then whatever nonsense, getting drunk every single night,
-
then you know what?
-
It's like how many kids have to be killed for the men
-
to wake up in our country and to take back control
-
of our country.
-
I mean, we're being just flooded with all kinds
-
of Muslims and all kinds of Hindus and all kinds
-
of Catholics and all kinds of false religion.
-
And we're allowing all of our politicians
-
to be influenced by Judaism.
-
I mean, APEC has so much control and power of our country
-
and they're the ministers of Satan.
-
They're anti-Christ.
-
They hate God.
-
When will men, when the men of our country wake up
-
and say, you know what?
-
No, no to feminism, no to fortification.
-
And you know what?
-
No to these feminist pastors.
-
And let's get specific about what that means.
-
Any pastor advocating any level of feminism is
-
the problem in our country.
-
And you know what?
-
They're afraid of women.
-
That's why they won't say what I just said.
-
Or they'll read a verse, but they won't apply it.
-
They won't bring the application
-
that'll actually make people upset.
-
You know, if you're in a church as a man
-
that's soft on Lindsey Clancy, you need to leave immediately
-
and you're the problem for supporting
-
that and funding that.
-
You guys want to talk about these non-lenom churches
-
having all these women overrepresented.
-
But here's the thing.
-
They're taking their husband's money
-
and giving it to that church.
-
That needs to be shut down now.
-
Women aren't going to be able to support
-
these churches by themselves.
-
They need the men.
-
You know, if you're in a church
-
where they're saying women can just leave their husbands,
-
you need to leave that church immediately.
-
If you're in a church with a woman pastor,
-
you need to leave that church immediately.
-
If you're in a church that worships women,
-
you need to leave.
-
That's called Catholicism because they worship Mary.
-
How are you going to resolve feminism
-
when you're bowing down to a woman's statue?
-
You're not.
-
We need...
-
Oh, Catholics will save our country.
-
We need Catholics.
-
No, we need Catholics to convert to Christianity.
-
We need Catholics to say,
-
hey, I'm not going to worship a woman's statue.
-
I'm going to worship the Lord Jesus Christ,
-
the man Christ Jesus.
-
Hey, if you're going to a church where your authority
-
as a husband is being challenged,
-
being lessened, you need to leave.
-
If you're coming in and you're in browbeat
-
and you're being told,
-
hey, you need to get this 50-50 partnership
-
and this marriage, you need to walk lightly.
-
And hey, if you don't treat your wife perfect,
-
she can just leave you high and dry.
-
You need to just leave that church
-
and leave that kind of preaching.
-
You should not go to a church
-
where you're getting snipped behind the pulpit.
-
I don't want a vasectomy
-
and I definitely don't want a spiritual vasectomy.
-
You know what? You should be the king of your castle.
-
You should be going to a church.
-
You should praise God there's a church
-
that you can actually go to
-
where the pastor isn't going to put you in your place
-
and put you behind your wife or something
-
or try to give your wife power over you
-
when that's unbiblical.
-
It's satanic. It's feminism.
-
If divorce is an option in your church,
-
you need to leave.
-
I will not go.
-
And you know what I've noticed?
-
And this is sad.
-
There has been a lot of people,
-
I could point to multiple people,
-
probably more than one handful of people
-
that left the new IFB,
-
that left the church like ours
-
and then very shortly after,
-
their wife left them.
-
Very shortly after they were divorced.
-
I'm not saying just like,
-
oh, here's this one random scenario.
-
I'm saying it's happened to many.
-
And it wasn't even, in some cases,
-
it was kind of like, well, it was rocky.
-
Okay. But in some cases,
-
there wasn't even an indication that it was bad.
-
And I'm just telling you, you know what?
-
Hey, come into a good church.
-
Has its benefits, folks.
-
And look, you say, well,
-
you're just saying you have to get in.
-
I'm not saying that.
-
You know what? They usually aren't leaving
-
the new IFB to go to a better church.
-
They're usually not leaving our church
-
to go to a church that's more godly
-
or less feminist or something.
-
They're usually going into an institution
-
that's going to probably advocate for that
-
or promote that
-
or you get counseling from the pastor
-
and they'll just be like, yeah,
-
he emotionally abandoned you or something.
-
Whatever that means.
-
What woman on this planet would say,
-
my husband understands every single one
-
of my emotional needs perfectly?
-
That doesn't even exist.
-
Okay.
-
Write a book on explaining women's emotions
-
and you'll be a billionaire.
-
Okay.
-
Because none of us can figure it all out.
-
Okay. It's just silly.
-
If you want an excuse, you can have an excuse.
-
But let me explain something to you.
-
I don't believe in divorce at all
-
and I'll never advocate it.
-
I've never promoted it.
-
I've never counseled it.
-
And look, are there people
-
in really awful marriages?
-
Sure.
-
Are there people in this room that have been divorced?
-
Yeah. I'm not going to point them out.
-
I'm not going to ask for a raise of hands,
-
but it'd be a lot more than you'd be surprised
-
by how many people.
-
But you know what? Even the divorced people are like,
-
hey, that's a good advice.
-
Amen. You're right.
-
I agree with you.
-
I wish I had been in a church that was like that.
-
Hey, maybe I'd still be married
-
if I was in a church like that.
-
Or at least I would have taken my marriage more seriously
-
and not married the wrong person.
-
Yeah.
-
You're right.
-
Hey, if you're in a church where women are dressed
-
like men, you need to leave.
-
Yeah.
-
We're not going to solve our problem
-
with a bunch of pants, suit wearing,
-
Ellen DeGeneres, and Hillary Clinton's.
-
Ellen, right.
-
And you know what? If you're in a church
-
where fornication is allowed,
-
you need to leave that church.
-
Yeah.
-
If fornication is allowed, tolerated, is happening,
-
you know what? That is going to corrupt our youth.
-
That is going to corrupt the young ones.
-
And look, I will take people to task on this issue
-
even if I don't even think it's happening.
-
But I just feel like I have to address it, okay?
-
And I've had uncomfortable conversations with people.
-
And look, I will have them.
-
Now, do I want to? No.
-
Do I like doing it? No.
-
But I will confront people on these issues
-
and I won't just allow that stuff to go unchecked.
-
And I don't want a culture and an attitude of like,
-
oh well, Pastor Shelley preaches really hard.
-
He's a paper tiger though,
-
because we were just doing it.
-
He didn't seem to care.
-
There was all these red flags
-
and he didn't even ask us about it.
-
No, no, no, I'll take you to task, buddy.
-
Because I don't want to allow it.
-
I don't want to tolerate it.
-
And you know what? It's destroying our country.
-
It's destroying our nation.
-
And you know what? God's mad at our country.
-
We're seeing women slaughter their children.
-
We should be freaking out about this.
-
We should be like, what is happening?
-
There's women, just thousands of women in marches.
-
I mean, do you not have a job?
-
Like, what are you doing?
-
Where are your kids?
-
Where are your sandwiches that you need to be making
-
that you've just left to go stand outside
-
in some courthouse wearing pink screaming for Lindsey
-
as she drives by?
-
She doesn't care about you.
-
She'd probably kill you too.
-
You know what? It's crazy.
-
I mean, there's these liberals
-
that are like so loving towards Muslims,
-
they're sitting over here like,
-
I'm going to kill you.
-
Like, you know what?
-
Like, you're like first on my list.
-
Like, you know, if Muslims took control
-
of our country right now, you know that kill first,
-
probably all the fags and the LGBT that are supporting them.
-
Probably all the liberals and the freaks
-
that are like their number one fans,
-
they'd probably kill them first.
-
You know, that's what's crazy.
-
It's crazy how sometimes people are literally inviting
-
the snake into their own house
-
and allowing it to bite them.
-
You know what? We need to reject feminism.
-
We need to reject fornication.
-
We need to reject feminist churches.
-
And here's the good news.
-
I'm going to say this to the righteous.
-
If you as a man say,
-
I'm going to reject this feminist mindset
-
and I'm not going to tolerate it.
-
If you say, I'm not going to allow the fornication
-
in an adult tree to happen for me or my children.
-
And you say, I'm going to go to a church
-
that preaches likewise, it can go well with you.
-
Even in a feminist culture, even in a feminist society.
-
And I'll be honest,
-
it's not that there won't be some casualties,
-
but by and large, you know,
-
we can write the ship for ourselves at least.
-
And there is a glimmer of hope for ourselves.
-
And you know what?
-
If we set the example,
-
maybe others could follow like suit.
-
But you know what?
-
God's people, when people that are in a church
-
like ours won't even take this serious,
-
why would we expect the world to take it serious?
-
We need to take it serious now.
-
And you know what?
-
As a young woman, as a married woman
-
or whoever you are, as a single lady,
-
I don't care who you are.
-
You need to just say, you know what?
-
God's word is right,
-
no matter what my life circumstances.
-
To say, well, the pastor doesn't know about my situation.
-
Okay, well, God knows about your situation
-
and these are God's principles.
-
And you know what?
-
I can feel empathy for people
-
that have gone through bad and hardships,
-
but at the end of the day,
-
we have to submit to God's word.
-
If someone committed abortion or divorce
-
or is a feminist or whatever, you know what?
-
Hey, change, repent.
-
I can still love you, God still loves you,
-
but you need to repent, you need to take this serious.
-
And we as a nation need to take God's word serious.
-
Otherwise we're gonna see even more curses on our nation.
-
We're gonna see worse events happening, escalating.
-
And at least we need to protect ourselves
-
by being righteous for ourselves.
-
Let's close in prayer.
-
Thank you heavenly father so much for your word.
-
Thank you so much for giving us a glimmer of hope
-
that if we will take your word seriously
-
that we can still have things go well for us.
-
I pray that you would help us
-
and not be offended by God's word.
-
We would not be offended by your instructions.
-
We would actually be offended by satanic agendas.
-
We'd be offended by children being killed.
-
We'd be offended by oppression.
-
We'd be offended by fornication and adultery.
-
We'd be offended by abortion.
-
We'd be offended by liars.
-
We'd be offended by men that are just too weak
-
and too soft and too cowardly
-
to preach what the Bible says.
-
They'll be offended at all the curses
-
and all the smut and all the foreign invasion
-
and all the evil false religion
-
and all the idolatry that would be offended by that
-
and we would not be offended by God's word.
-
I pray that we'd realize that there is a solution.
-
I pray if possible you could just stir up men's hearts
-
to have repentance towards God
-
to care more about the things of God
-
than things of this world.
-
And that even if our country won't resolve this issue
-
at least this church and at least these people
-
and they would do so and you would bless them.
-
In Jesus name we pray amen.
