This is from The Dissenter, a Pennsylvania man arrested for quoting

00:06

Bible verses at gay pride event. It said, in an egregious spectacle that could only be described as a brutal assault on religious liberty,

00:17

Damon Atkins, a Christian preacher, was publicly shackled and hauled off for exercising his constitutional right to free speech in the town of Redding, Pennsylvania.

00:28

This is what they're doing in Redding City. Tyrant cops threatening older men and myself are standing out here.

00:36

You got, oh, just everything you can imagine. So this is quite crazy, but a wonderful providence of God that I could walk out here.

00:45

And these cops over here, these guys are tyrants. That man threatened me, laid hands on me. But by the grace of God, I could preach for about 10 minutes or so, like I said, before he did that.

00:56

So the gospel went out. The law went out. The gospel went out. God's going to do work with it.

01:01

He's apparently a professing Christian, too. That's the horrible thing about this. Looks like some more men just showed up to support us.

01:08

This cop's going to give them a hard time. Oh, I'm respected.

01:27

You know who's cheering for us? The people that are in hell. So you do you, and I'm going to do me. This is public property.

01:35

You. God is not. That's all. I cannot believe

02:05

I'm watching this. You got it.

02:23

Yeah. Yeah. They're threatening us earlier. Displaying, you know, nakedness, these lewd acts, which often happens at these parades.

02:34

I mean, that is what should be illegal. You know, they used to be a crime in this country.

02:40

But now who's the criminal? Well, it's the Christian preacher. You show up with a Bible and start simply reading

02:47

Bible verses. You could get arrested. So this is America in the year 2023.

02:53

Not surprising, but this is a story. If you want to read more, you can go to the dissenter website.

03:01

But I want to leave you on a positive note. It's 957. Just have a couple minutes left with all the bad things.

03:08

You know, that's the nature of news. News is negative, right? If it if it bleeds, it leads.

03:16

That's it. Just turn on the six o 'clock news. It's mostly negative because that's what brings in viewers.

03:23

And then they'll end with a positive story. So that's just the nature of things. Matter of fact, if you read the

03:28

Bible, it's been said that the Bible's two thirds negative. But how does it end? It ends with a positive story.

03:36

See, it doesn't matter. I mean, it matters for people in the here and now. But in the grand scheme of things, whatever people are doing, resisting

03:43

God, go back to our Bible study with the Philistines and how they opposed God. They didn't win. They couldn't win.

03:50

So whether it's the Philistines or the Babylonians or the Romans or people today who are resisting and rebelling against God, they can't win.

04:00

They're not going to win. The day is going to come when Jesus will return. He will set up his kingdom, which shall last for 1000 years.

04:10

And at the end of that kingdom, what goes on for eternity is what? A new heaven and a new earth.

04:19

A new heaven and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

04:24

No more crying, no more strife, no more pain, no more tears.

04:31

What we're seeing right now is only temporary. God's kingdom lasts forever.
