When the Walls Come Down — David Wilkerson

Heavenly Father, I pray for a special touch of heaven right now on my message and on my body and on this congregation to hear and receive the living Word of God. Thank you, Jesus, for your life that's here.

We bind every spirit of opposition, we bind the enemy who would come against God's people, and we take dominion in Jesus' name right now. Total dominion that our hearts may be free and open to hear and receive the Word of God.

Lord, the devil would like to block this message in the hearts of many who need to hear it. Lord, we're going to first talk about the nation and Christians who's had an experience of the walls coming down, and then we're going to talk about those who by faith are having walls erected and are becoming impregnable against the forces of hell.

Lord, encourage us. Tear down if you have to, but then build us up in your faith. Do what you have to do in us, Lord. Lord, we've never had enough. We'll never get enough. We want more. Lord, we love your Word.

We tremble at it, and we hear it. Lord, there's not anything you can give us that would be too much of anything. Lord, we accept it all from your hand. Amen. Amen, amen, amen. Glory to God. You know, the devil himself knew that God builds walls around his saints.

God’s Wall of Protection Around His People

That's what he said about Job, didn't he? He said, has thou not made a hedge about him? Did you build a wall around that man? That's why I can't get to him. You got a wall around him. Now, I won't have you turn to that, but that's Job 110.

And you know, God said to Abraham, I'll be a shield to you. And that Greek word, or rather that Hebrew word there, shield is Ganon, and that means a wall, a protection, a shield, a covering. Do not fear Abraham, I'm a shield to you.

That's exactly what the devil said about Job. He said, you've got a shield around him. Now he's got a shield around Abraham. But better than that, folks, he's got a shield, a wall around every one of his chosen, walking in blamelessness before him.

Do you believe that? An absolute wall protection. How powerful these final words of Moses. He blessed Israel just before he died, and he said, blessed are you, O Israel, who is like unto you, O people saved by the Lord.

Who is the shield of your help, the sword of your majesty? Your enemies will criss before you, and you shall tread down to high places. Oh, I like that. Your enemies shall cringe before you, because you've got a shield around you.

Your enemies will cringe. Every demon power, all the forces of hell, the devil himself gonna cringe in front of God's people because of the shield around them. Hallelujah. David said, I laid down and slept because the Lord sustains me.

Lord, I did that because you're my shield. You're my glory, the one who lives up my head. He said, I'll not be afraid of ten thousands of people who set themselves against me round about. For thou smitten all my enemies on the cheeks.

You've shattered the teeth of all my enemies. Don't you like to see God just pound his fist and shatter the teeth of every demon in hell? He's shattered all the teeth of my enemies. Glory be to God. Toothless devil.

But I want to tell you something. There is a wall around God's people, and I believe that with all my heart. The scripture said he's a shield to those who walk in integrity. The Bible said, for the Lord is a sun and a shield.

No good thing would hold from those who walk uprightly. The Bible said he's a shield to those who take refuge in him. But there is no hedge about Christians who live in rebellion. And when you have sin and rebellion in your heart, the wall comes down.

Sin, Rebellion, and the Walls Coming Down

I want you to turn with me to Psalms 50. I'm not tell you don't turn. Just let me read it to you first. But to the wicked, God says, what right have you to tell of my statues and to take my covenant in your mouth?

For you hate discipline and you cast my words behind you and you associate with adulterers. You let your mouth loose and evil in your tongue frames deceit. He said, what right have you to claim any of my covenant rights?

What right have you to say I have a shield and a wall around me when there's deceit in your heart and in your mouth? Now Israel broke covenant with God, and when they broke covenant with God, the walls came down.

And I want you to turn with me to Deuteronomy 28th chapter. Deuteronomy the 28th chapter. And I want to show you something here. We're going to start at the 58th verse. Deuteronomy 28. We're going to start at the 58th verse.

All right. While you're turning that way, you look this way. Now, as soon as you find it, rather, you can't look at me and turn at the same time. I'll know. But find it. Deuteronomy 28th chapter. We're going to start reading at the 58th verse.

Brother Bob Phillips was the first one to show this to me. And God's been making it real to my heart ever since. Deuteronomy 28. Deuteronomy 28. I'm going to start reading at the 58th verse. Now we're talking about what happens when the wall comes down, when there's no shield, there's no covering.

All right. Are you ready? If you are not careful to observe, I'm reading to the new American standard, by the way, if you're not careful to observe all the words of this law, which are written in this book to fear this honored and awesome name, the Lord, your God, then the Lord will bring extraordinary extraordinary plagues on you and your descendants, even severe and lasting plagues and miserable and chronic sicknesses.

And he will bring back on you all the diseases of Egypt of which you were afraid and they shall cling to you. Also, every sickness. Now you think of AIDS, think of of of all the new diseases have just come to America now.

Think of herpes and all the strains of herpes. And listen now to this 61st verse. Also, every sickness and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, the Lord shall bring on you until you are destroyed.

Now, there's new diseases. It is newly come up unnamed diseases. That's when the wall goes down around the nation, around the people, and there's nothing to protect from these diseases and these things pressing in.

Then you shall be left few in number, whereas you were once of the stars of heaven from multitude because you did not obey the Lord your God. And it shall come about. It shall come about that as the Lord delighted over you to prosper you and multiply you.

So the Lord will delight over you to make you perish and destroy you and make and you shall be torn from the land which the land where you are entering to possess. I want you down to sixty five. And among you, those nations, you shall find no rest and there shall be no resting place for the soul of your feet.

But there the Lord will give you a trembling heart, failing of eyes and despair of soul. So your life shall hang in doubt before you. You shall be in dread night and day and you have no assurance of your life in the morning.

You shall say, would that it were the evening and evening. You shall say, would that it were morning because of the dread of your heart, which you dread for the sight of your eyes, which you shall see.

And the Lord will bring you back to Egypt and ships by the way which I spoke to you. You will never see it again. And there you shall offer yourselves for sale to your enemies as male and female slaves.

There'll be no buyer. It means when the walls go down, you become a slave to say you become a slave to all the things that the devil would pour upon you. Now, Israel was given a choice. This was a message to Israel, but it's also a message under the new covenant.

It's a dual prophecy and it's a dual word for the church of Jesus Christ. The scripture said, see, I've said before you this day, life and good, death and evil and that I command thee this day to love the Lord, thy God, to walk in his ways, keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgment, that thou mayest live and multiply and the Lord, thy God shall bless thee in the land whether thou goest.

But if thy heart turn away so that thou will not hear, but you are drawn away and you worship other gods and serve them. I denounce you this day that you shall utterly perish and you shall not prolong your days upon the land.

Now, incredibly, though, God said to Israel, I lay life and death before you. And he said, if you'll just walk with me in a pure heart, I'll bless you. I'll not let these diseases come upon you. And even though the devil may try to extract from you, he may push you down.

I'll deliver you. I'll bring you out. And that's why I believe, even though the enemy may have tried to push this boy down, he's got a wall around, he's going to be fine. I have no fear in my heart about that boy.

Because he's walking, this pastor is walking under covenant and God's promise to protect. I call heaven and earth to record this day against you that I've set before you life and death, blessing and cursing.

Why will you not choose life for the life of me? I don't understand why people choose to walk in despair. Gwen and I were walking down 57th Street yesterday, then we went up to Central Park and took a little walk.

We were just enjoying the sunshine and there was wickedness and evil all about us. We had just married last Saturday, our fourth child, Greg, all four of them. All four of our children are married to wonderful Christian mates.

The Lord has blessed us and he's brought Gwen out of six operations for cancer. He's brought Debbie, my daughter, out of cancer. And we were just walking through the park rejoicing in the Lord and I was holding her hand.

I said, honey, it's so simple and the church is not understanding it. God has set life and death before us and we're to choose it. He said blessing or cursing before us and we're to choose it. And I said, honey, all God's ever expected of you and me from the beginning is to walk with an undivided heart, to love him with everything is in us and to love one another, be faithful to one another, keep his commandments.

The Lord has promised to keep us by his hand. He's promised to flood us with joy and peace and victory. He's promised to be a wall of fire around us and the glory therein. He's promised that no devil, no demon in hell can touch us.

Divine Discipline and Covenant Mercy

Now, he may discipline us out of his love and discipline is often a type of his love, a sign of his love for whom the Lord loves. He chastens, but he only does it out of love. And when he chastens, you're in the Lord's hand and not the devil's hand.

And there's a big difference. David said when he had to choose his discipline, he said, I'll throw myself at the mercy of the Lord because I know God has mercy. Devil has no mercy. When the wall comes down and you're plundered, you're at the mercy of the devil discipline.

You're at the mercy of God. God does nothing to his children would hurt them, but for their own good. He spanks only to heal. But you see, the children of Israel incredibly disobeyed the Lord. David said, thou feedest them now with the bread of tears.

You give them tears to drink in great measure. Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbors and our enemies laugh among themselves. Why were the enemies of Israel laughing at them? Why does the devil laugh at some Christians laugh at them?

They can't stand before any demon powers. They can't stand against the principalities and darkness, powers of darkness. Why has not broken down her hedges? Why did you cast down her walls so that all they which pass by pluck on her, the boar out of the woods, waste her and the wild beast of the field devours it?

Said, why did you tear the wall down and that wild boar comes in? Who is the wild boar? Who is the wild boar? Satan himself said, why did you let the wall down? Oh, God, let the devil in. Why did you let the boar come in and waste the vineyard?

He said, because my people not hearken to my voice, and Israel had nothing to do with me. So I gave them up to their own heart's lust and they walked in their own counsel. Oh, that my people had hearkened to me and had walked in my ways.

I would have subdued all their enemies and I would have turned my hand against their adversaries. I'll destroy your enemy. God said, if you walk before me, blameless of the pure heart, I'll take care of your enemies for you.

And Bob preaches covenant and in covenant. God says your enemies are my enemies. Amen. Your enemies are my enemies. And that's a wonderful thing to know that when your enemy comes, you know, big brother standing right behind you with all the power to take care of him.

You may be weak. That's what that's what it means. His strength is made perfect in weakness. Hallelujah. That's a covenant walk with a mighty God of majesty that has all might and power over the forces of hell.

I don't believe in Christians to be afraid of the devil. The only time to be afraid of the devil is when you got sin in your life. No walls are down. You'd better be afraid then you better be running.

The Vineyard, the Church, and God’s Judgment

Now, God is threatened to remove the hedge from his church, not his church, but the harlot church. And I want you to turn with me, if you will, please, to Matthew 21, 33. And I want to show you what God has done for his people.

Matthew 21, 33. I want you to go with me, please go to the thirty third verse of Matthew 21. You love the word. I want everybody has your Bible, put your finger at that and then hold it and just let me see how many of you got there right now.

Hold it up there high. All right, God bless you, the rest of you, don't look at me for a minute here till I get this. I'm ashamed of you. My wife had a panic. We got in the car and we're heading down.

She's oh, no, we almost want to go back. I forgot my Bible. So we got her another one. But, you know, she doesn't even walk out of the house now anymore without it. All right. All right. Listen, verse Matthew 21, 33.

Listen to another parable. There was a landowner who planted a vineyard church. What is the vineyard? Isn't this the house of God? Isn't this the people of God that chose the Lord? I planted a vineyard.

What did he put around the vineyard? What did he put around the church? And he put a wall around it, didn't he? Is that what it says in your Bible? Say it with me. He put a wall around it. Again, he put a wall around it.

Do you have a wall around you today? No demon, no devil in hell can break through. None at all. But I want to show you a prophecy. I want you to turn with me, please. Isaiah, the fifth chapter, show you a frightening prophecy.

Terrible prophecy. And the church needs to hear it. And I'm going to preach this from coast to coast every time God gives me a chance. God shook my very soul when I saw it. And I've been reading about this wall around God's people.

And I've been thanking for the wall around me. And I thought of living so many years in turmoil when the wall was down. And I know what it's like to live with the wall down. And I know what it's like to live with the wall up.

And I don't like it when the wall's down. I don't want to be a prey to the devil. I don't want to look around being afraid of a man of God. Look me in the eye and I've got shit in my heart. I promise God never again will I be in the presence of man of God.

And he stare me down. We had a demon possessed boy in a park the other day. He came up and he said, don't touch me. And he was the one who was running over bushes, foaming at the mouth. And I saw one a very clear manifestation.

The Lord had spoken to my heart that he over 10 ,000 demons in him. Legions, legions of demons frothing at the mouth. He had been a Christian. He said he loved the Lord and just frothing. And he he was screaming, you cannot have this body.

This body is mine. Just looking at my face. And I kept praying, oh, wicked one, you come and have nothing in me. My heart is pure. You can't touch me. Get out. He raced brother Bob as he was racing said, oh, God, build a wall of angels around him.

Let those devils look right in the face of those angels and bring it back. And I was over praying with somebody else turn around and Bob was laying hands on him and all the deaths of hell ran. And he started hugging and people and praising the Lord.

Every demon fled in the presence of the Lord. Well, see, the wall had been down and the devil just trampled in. The boar came in the wild boar. All right, look, look with me, please. Verse let's start at verse one, Isaiah five.

Let me sing now for my well-beloved, a song of my beloved concerning his vineyard. My well-beloved had a vineyard on a fertile hill. What is that fertile hill? That's Calvary, isn't it? That's that's that's also Zion, the hill of Zion.

And he dug it all around and he removed its stones and planted it with the choiceless vine and he built a tower in the midst of it. And then he expected it to produce good grapes, but it produced only worthless ones.

All right now, verse three. And now, oh, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge between me and my vineyard. What more was there to do for my vineyard that I've not done in it? Why, when I expected it to produce good grapes, did it produce worthless ones?

What More Can God Do for His Vineyard?

Stop there for just a minute, folks. What more can the Holy Ghost do for you who attend this tabernacle? What more can God do for a choir that sits here and sing such praises? What more can God say in bringing ministers like Brother Bob or Brother Dave and many, many others here in this dear past?

What more can God do for his vineyard that he's already done? Who else can he bring? What else can he do? The Holy Ghost has come. The word has come. What more can God do? There's nothing more God can do to bring us to himself.

He's done it all. What more can I do for my vineyard? All right. Why, when I expected it to produce good grapes, did it produce worthless ones? So now let me tell you what I'm going to do to my vineyard.

Let me tell you what I'm going to do to my vineyard. Now, this is awesome. All right. Look at the look at it. I will remove its heads and it will be consumed. Read it with me. I will break down its wall and it will become trampled ground.

I will break down its wall. He's talking about not the homosexual community in San Francisco. He's not talking about the atheistic, communistic group here in America. He's talking about his vineyard, folks.

He's talking about his vineyard. We're in that vineyard. And look, this is prophetic. Listen to it. I will remove its heads and it will be consumed. I will break down its wall and it will become trampled ground and I will lay it waste.

It will not be pruned or hoed, but briars and thorns will come up. I will also charge the clouds to rain no rain on it. And that's why we've got so many dead churches in America. My mail is full of letters from all over America.

And the number one question I get, where can I find a church where God's moving? Where can I find a preacher that touches my soul? Where can I sit in a church while I sense his presence? And I'll tell you, there are cities that I go to and people ask me, surely, with hundreds and hundreds of churches in this city, you can name one.

I'm sorry, I don't know one. I can't name one. Thank God for the Brooklyn Tabernacle right in the middle of this harlot city in this harlot church system in this city that there is a place and there are other churches.

Thank God that God is moving. His spirit is at work. But he said, I will charge the clouds to rain no rain on it. For the vineyard of the Lord of Hosts is the house of Israel, the men of Judah, his delightful plant.

Then he looked for justice, but behold, blood shed for righteousness, but behold, a cry of distress, a cry of distress. Brother, simply you get it by the bundles. I send you cries of distress down here for prayer meeting time.

My staff, some of them can't stand to read it anymore. One lady, one of our staff reasons is that if I just cry, I can't cry anymore. These letters of distress that are coming from the vineyard, from the church of Jesus Christ, from around the nation, around the world, such cries of distress.

And there are nights that I lay hands. See, Gwen and I pray over those bundles before you get to my staff. Praise first. Then we lay hands on them. We'll sit in the living room and just lay hands on those bundles.

And Gwen reads them for hours and I read them till I can't read anymore. And I'd say, honey, I can't take it anymore. And recently it was so depressing. Gwen, I asked her to take a week off and not read anymore.

It was just tearing us apart. Distress, distress. And then it dawned on me, that's why this message is so important for me to preach, because most of these people don't know what's happening to them. They don't know that the walls are down, that the wild boar has come.

And God says, I'll not give you any more rain. He said, I'm tearing down your wall. I'm taking the heads away. And your enemies are going to rejoice over you. They're going to laugh at you. You're going to be plundered.

You're going to be trampled ground. And that's what these cries of distress are. Christians are being trampled on, walked over. No dominion, no spiritual authority. And I say, why, Lord? Why are so many of your children being trampled upon?

Such an easy prey to the devil, when God says that we're to pull down the stronghold of the enemy. He's given us dominion in the name of Jesus Christ. We don't have to take this, but why is the church taking it?

I'll tell you why, folks, it's because God himself is starting to crumble the walls. There was a time in the United States of America that you could go anywhere in the world and be safe. No dictator, nobody would touch an American citizen because they knew the wrath of a mighty country would be down on because God had a wall around this nation.

God had a wall around this nation. There was a time just 20 years ago, there was no abortion, very little abortion. Since then, 150 million babies have been murdered. It's because the walls are down. Little Iran holds us hostage.

A little dictator, a tin god, holds this nation as hostage for almost a half a year. We were chased out of Lebanon by a country that doesn't even have a government to speak of. This nation has been laughed at and mocked and spit upon.

And then look at what's happening to our country now. Seventeen states ravaged with fires, AIDS, herpes, drought. Brother, sister, it's just the beginning because the walls, God said, I'll remove the walls.

Judgment on the Nation and the Church

You know, I've got many, many scriptures to prove that to you, but I want you to go to. Ah, Psalms 89 with me, please. Psalms 89. And I want I want I want you to get this, folks. Psalms 89, verse 38. We've been reading verse 38.

All right. Verse 38, Psalms 89, verse 38. Now, this is David speaking. But thou has cast off and rejected. Thou has been full of wrath against thine anointed. Wait a minute. Full of wrath against who?

Hey, I was preaching. Look at me for just a minute. I was preaching to Detroit a couple of weeks ago. The Lord had told me I had to reprove God's chosen people. I had to reprove because you have to reprove before God can get it all out and then begin to bless and pour the abundance of his mercies.

And I was to speak in a church the next day in the message Saturday night when a big auditorium was very strong and hard. But God had the congregation left rejoicing. But it was hard. The next Sunday, the next morning I was to preach in a rather large church.

And as soon as I got in the church, someone got up and prophesied. The Lord is not that hard. The Lord is merciful. He is not just a rod. Don't be discouraged when you hear men. Words of effect. Don't listen to men who spank you all the time.

Boy, oh boy, oh boy, I knew who he's talking about. So all I did was get up and quote the scripture, David said. Those who love those who love God love reproof, those who love the Lord, he said, it's just like water, like oil flowing down over my head.

He said, I love God's reproof. I don't know about you folks. I love his reproof because I know he's concerned about me, reproved me to bring me to a certain place. He's trying to get me through something.

He's trying to make me stronger. He's trying to put a wall around me. But thou has cast off rejected, thou has been full of wrath against thine anointed, thou has spurned the covenant of thy servant, thou has profaned his crown to the dust, thou has broken down all his walls, thou has brought his strongholds to ruin all who pass along the way.

Plunder him. Hey, who passed? Who comes in like a roaring line? Who comes to plunder and destroy Satan himself and the powers of wickedness and darkness? All who pass by along the way, plunder him. He's become a reproach to his neighbors.

Thou has exalted the right hand of his adversaries. Thou has made all his enemies to rejoice. Thou does also turn back the edge of his sword and has not made him stand in battle. Folks, you understand we're in a war, we're in a battle.

And David said, God, I can't stand there's something wrong. Why? David wrote this after he sinned. He wrote this after he said there was sin in the camp and there was sin in Israel. And he said, you've abhorred, you've broken your covenant.

God never breaks his covenant. David in Israel broke the covenant. And he said, now the enemy is getting a stronghold. The enemy is now in control. I want you to turn to Isaiah five again, because I'm just going to stay right with you till the Lord begins to make it real, real clear to us in just a moment here.

It's going to be about 10 minutes from now. You're going to see something. I want you to read it again. I feel impressed with the Holy Spirit to just come to this one more time. And I want you to hear it.

And it's loud and clear here. I will break down its wall and it will become a trampling ground. Now, I want you to keep that in mind and what I've said about the United States right now. All right. Having said that, look this way.

I think I'm as about a loyal pastor, a citizen as God ever gave to America. I'm just one. But I love America. But I tell you, in the authority of God's word and his holy scripture, America is facing judgment.

Divine judgment is coming to this nation. And when I wrote the books at the trumpeter mouth, I've heard from literally thousands and thousands of Christians who say, David, I hear the same thing. When I listen to the news and I see what's happening in this country, I know there's a sense of judgment.

I know the enemy is trampling through this land. Now, it's one thing for the devil to trample through the land. We're a part of that. We're Americans. And it's not it's not unpatriotic for me to preach God's holy word.

It's not unpatriotic for me to stand up and warn people that the walls of this nation are coming down. God says it very clearly that the walls are coming down. And I want you to mark that in the fifth chapter.

If you have a pencil or pen, I want you to mark that. If all you do is on chapter five, put it there and put some marks there. Now, once you go home and study it and read it, because I believe exactly that's what God is saying to his church.

False Prophets and False Security

And then I want you to turn to Ezekiel, the 13th chapter with me, please just turn over to Ezekiel, the 13th chapter. As soon as you find it, I need you to look this way again, Jim. You know, one of the largest churches in Dallas, and if I mentioned, you know, I'm talking about you've been there.

I mean, you visited in their church about two weeks ago. And one of the secretaries told us about it. They the book had started bringing people in the church repentance. People were starting to repent, cry out to God.

And they were saying to the ministry, to their ministry, what about this? Is this true? We're not hearing this in the church. Is this true? And so out of the ministry and out of that came, you know, prophecies.

And they say, don't listen to gloom and doom. There's going to be nothing but peace and prosperity. America will not be destroyed by fire because we have power with God and we have prayed to pass that there will be no destruction.

So everybody relax, everybody. Oh, so she said, you just feel the congregation. Oh, and what they did, they that's what the devil wants you to do. He wants you to just relax. He wants you to settle back in a sense of false security.

I'm not trying to scare anybody, but my Bible said awake. Saints have got awake, Zion awake. Now, I trembled the word of God, no one should listen to me. Thirteenth chapter of Ezekiel. I'm going to start right.

The first verse, we're going to go right on down here quite a way. Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying, said a man prophesy against the prophets of Israel who prophesy and say to those who prophesy from their own inspiration.

Listen to the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord God. Woe to the foolish prophets who are following their own spirit and have seen nothing. Oh, Israel, your prophets have been like foxes among ruins.

The walls are down. The church is being destroyed. The heart of church is being destroyed. And we've got fox prophets standing there saying nothing wrong. Relax. All is peace and prosperity. Oh, Israel, your prophets have been like foxes among ruins.

Did not just read to you that it would be trampled ground, ruined your foxes, your prophets have been foxes among the ruins. You have not gone up into the breaches, nor did you build the wall around the house of Israel to stand in the battle on the day of the Lord.

You're not building up the wall. You're telling people to relax while the walls are falling down. Verse six, they see falsehood and lying divination who are saying the Lord declares when the Lord has not sent them, yet they hope for the fulfillment of their word.

Did you not see a false vision and speak a lying divination when you said the Lord declares, but it's not I who has spoken. Therefore, thus said the Lord God, because you've spoken falsehood and seen a lie.

Therefore, behold, I'm against you, declares the Lord God. So my hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and utter lying divinations. They will have no place in the council of my people, nor will they be written down in the register of the house of Israel.

Nor will they enter the land of Israel that you may know that I'm the Lord God. It is definitely because they have misled my people. They have misled my people by saying peace when there is no peace. And when anyone builds a wall, behold, the plaster, they plastered over with whitewash.

Folks, it's a beauty wall that's around the harlot church, isn't it? It's a wall that can come down. I'm going to show you how it's coming down here. First, eleven, so tell those who plastered over with whitewash that it will fall.

The wall is going to fall. A flooding rain will come and you all hailstones will fall and a violent wind will break out. Behold, when the wall is fallen, will you not be asked, where is the plaster with which you plastered it?

Hey, look at me. I should have preached this Tuesday night when we had some ministers here. That's what every Sunday school teacher. That's what every pastor, every associate pastor, everyone who has the word of God in his mouth.

That's what God's going to ask you. How did you plaster the wall? What kind of wall were you building in my house? Why did the wall come down? And there are going to be literally thousands of shepherds.

God's shepherds going to stand before the judgment seat. They're going to have to answer. And that's going to be the first question the Lord ask. What happened to your walls? What happened? You whitewasher, you've been whitewashing sin.

You dabbed the wall with untempered mortar. You didn't build strength and stability. You didn't bring people to repentance and holiness and righteousness so that they could stand against the plundering enemy.
