Well, it is a Friday morning and this is a DL short, dividing line short.
00:36
Why? Well, I don't want to bother Rich to set anything else up and I'm going to try to keep it short.
00:41
Really, I am going to try. Been a good boy recently. Haven't violated the irrational terms of service of a certain major video platform because we've been talking about other things.
00:57
Remember, according to certain people, all I talk about anymore is politics and I never talk about theology.
01:03
Let's just remember that when you look at all of our videos. Anyway, it's
01:08
January 7th. And this morning, there are oral arguments taking place in Supreme Court.
01:15
Regarding the OSHA requirements that the regime has put in place, basically to force vaccination and the news is filled this morning, if you're paying any attention to it.
01:31
To many nations around the globe, simply forcing, making it impossible to live.
01:39
Unless you accept. Unless you get onto the treadmill. And that's what it is, obviously.
01:47
In Israel, they're getting ready for the fourth booster. In other countries, it's up to three.
01:55
And so it's just never ending. It will continue forever. And you will have no control over what's in these treatments.
02:05
I have recommended the fictional work, which is turning out to be a prophetic work, similar to 1984,
02:11
Brave New World. But this perfect day by hour 11 from the 70s, where you have this type of medical treatment that is, you always wonder how it started.
02:24
And it always, always, always starts with all the best motivations. But the
02:30
Supreme Court argumentation is going on. And I was noting, in fact, I listened to a portion of it.
02:37
The two leftist females on the court clearly know nothing about what they're talking about.
02:45
One just said there are 100 ,000 children in hospitals with COVID.
02:53
And it was pretty closely linked to being intubated. It's just completely bogus.
03:01
Even Fauci admitted that the vast majority of children in hospital situations have it, but they're not there because of it.
03:08
They came in with a broken leg because they fell off their bike because they didn't know they had anything because they're perfectly fine.
03:15
And they get tested because everyone's getting tested. I've driven by them. The testing places, you know, there's one on 35th
03:23
Avenue here in Phoenix. I drive by it on the way to work. And long, long lines. I mean, that place has been here for a year and a half and never saw anybody there.
03:33
Now lines around the block. And so everybody's getting tested. I have never been tested, by the way.
03:39
But everybody's getting tested. And so they get tested.
03:45
And lo and behold, they have COVID. Oh, look at this. All our children are dying. It's just absurdity.
03:53
And one of them, I don't remember, it was Sotomayor or Kagan. They're just duplicates of each other.
04:01
One of them said, the hospitals are full. Ah! I worked in a hospital back in the 90s.
04:08
I was a chaplain. Toughest work I ever did. But you learn about hospitals, how hospitals work.
04:15
And if it's January and you aren't full, everybody's really anxious.
04:20
They're going to lose their jobs. Because the hospital must be full in January. If it's not full in January, you're not going to survive the summer.
04:30
They want to be full. They staff to be full. They plan to be full. They want to be full.
04:35
They're businesses. They're supposed to be. You only put enough beds and rooms in service to be full.
04:47
It's a cost. Everybody, everybody who works in a hospital knows this.
04:55
You can tell. I mean, I could literally come in, when I would come in for my shift.
05:01
And I'd look at the, they'd print out this number of pieces of paper with all the people who are in the hospital.
05:07
Who's in the hospital, where they are. And religious affiliation. And if that was a short list, everybody's in a bad mood.
05:17
And everybody's concerned. But if it's a nice, full, chunky list, then all is well.
05:24
And these people just, there is such a massive amount of ignorance. Of how any of this stuff works.
05:30
Massive amount of ignorance. Massive amount of ignorance of mortality numbers. Comorbidities, cancers, heart disease.
05:41
It is astonishing. And that's why, when
05:46
I heard, you know, SCOTUS. I'm sorry, SCOTUS is not a savior. I don't care how many quote unquote conservative judges you have on there.
05:54
They're judges. They may not know anything. Obviously, these two women know nothing. About what they're talking about.
06:01
They know nothing about the issues of the vaccines. And the fact that there is strong evidence now.
06:09
That being vaccinated makes you more susceptible to Omicron. Which is sniffles.
06:16
The vast majority of people have sniffles. But I know people that are dying. Yes, and if we had covered medical disease.
06:25
In 2015. The way we're covering it in 2022. We would have been just as panicked back then.
06:33
By whatever strain of flu or cold was prevalent that year. We would be just as much pulling our hair out.
06:42
And screaming for somebody to save us. But we didn't. Because there wasn't yet. It wasn't ready yet to be used the way it's being used now.
06:52
And so I put that together. With what
06:58
I briefly watched yesterday. It just happened to turn the television on yesterday. In the morning.
07:06
And encountered the president's diatribe. That was as close to a banana republic.
07:17
Tin plated dictator speech. As I've ever heard in the
07:23
United States of America. It was reprehensible. It was childish. It was astonishing.
07:32
Filled with lies. And specifically designed. To divide.
07:39
And to, as Doug Wilson has said, don't take the bait. Don't take the bait. This was the biggest bait speech
07:46
I have ever heard. All based upon one of the most obviously. Self -created.
07:54
Events in American history. The new holy day of the secular left. You think about what the
08:02
Soviets did. And you think about what the Chinese did. And you think about the holidays they've created.
08:07
And you think about what the Soviets did. To commemorate these great events. In the socialist revolution.
08:14
That's where we are. That's where these people are. And they are creating mythology right in front of us.
08:21
In 50 years from now. Every schoolchild in America may be.
08:28
Wearing black on January 6. To remember the great and darkest day. When the people stormed the capital.
08:35
And stayed between the little satin ropes. So I had the misfortune of watching that.
08:47
And so all of this. The mountain. Mountain of papers.
08:54
That are coming out right now. Documenting the reality.
09:00
Of the utter collapse and failure. Of the vaccine only approach.
09:06
Which is why we've never done it until 2020. Because everybody back then recognized.
09:13
You can never keep up with the mutations. This is dumb. But that was before Pfizer had hundreds of billions of dollars.
09:20
To buy every press source. And all the politicians in the world.
09:29
The mountain of evidence. Is beyond question. But you're not allowed to talk about it.
09:37
How long? An hour? It would take you more than an hour to scratch the surface.
09:44
Of the evidence of the failure. Of this technology. All you can do is say it.
09:53
The other side is going to say just the opposite. And since you can't do a serious debate.
09:58
You can't dig into it. I don't see what's going to come of it.
10:06
But all of this. I sit here. And again.
10:13
You have to try to control the emotions. You have to try to.
10:20
Avoid the. Turn the phone off. You have to try to avoid the.
10:30
Darkness of the soul. When you think about. The foolishness of the people around you.
10:37
As a Christian you start going. How did this happen so quickly?
10:44
And how can intelligent people. Buy into this kind of stuff.
10:50
And not see what's in front. I have said for a long time. And we can document going back decades.
10:59
Even during. After 2006. When I had a period of time.
11:05
Where I'm really focused upon. Islam and debating
11:11
Muslims. And there's all sorts of terrorist narratives going around. I was never one of those people going.
11:17
Islam is going to take over the world. I knew first of all. Whenever Muslims get power they turn on each other.
11:26
But I recognize. The greatest enemy of the kingdom of Christ.
11:34
Is secularism. Secularism is the polar opposite.
11:39
It is the utter purposeful negation. Of every aspect of the claims of Christ upon this world.
11:48
It is. Christ teaches us that we are the creatures of God. That we have transcendent value.
11:54
That we are made male and female. And secularism says we have no transcendent value.
12:00
There is no creator. And there are 175 ,000 different genders. Christ tells us that life is precious.
12:09
And it is a gift of God. And that is why we are responsible for what we do with our lives. Secularism says the opposite.
12:15
Don't like the pregnancy that resulted from your fornication? Kill it. Or donate it to science.
12:23
It is just a negation of everything that is good. And just and holy in the
12:28
Christian faith. It is just a negation of everything that is good. And just and holy is negated. You go back and look at Mark. You can draw all the connections.
12:35
Everyone but me wrote a book. Over the past two years about critical race theory.
12:42
Or social justice. I didn't because I'm not an expert in it. I'm not going to pretend to be something
12:49
I'm not. All this stuff is going on.
12:55
We have been saying consistently. Secularism is this great enemy. How is it?
13:02
Because it is self -destructive. It is so self -destructive. Here you have intelligent people.
13:09
And the numbers are right in front of them. You can't see it. I grabbed my
13:18
Jeffrey Rice. Yes, I know. I shouldn't do that.
13:24
But it is. Unfortunately. I could pull this off.
13:35
If I really had to. But forgive me. It is much more comfortable.
13:43
As I am less than a year away from my 7th decade. Some of you.
13:50
Who struggled back in the year 2000. I won't get that one either. I keep coming back.
14:00
To a phrase. That Paul uses. In 2 Thessalonians 2.
14:05
I'm going to avoid any argumentation. I'm going to avoid any argumentation. I'm going to avoid any argumentation.
14:13
You notice something. I'm in 2 Thessalonians. See where that is?
14:21
It looks like it is right toward the end. It is. It is in different canonical order.
14:28
2 Thessalonians is right toward the end. It is a little fact.
14:36
You might find interesting. If you are a Greek reader. I highly recommend getting hold of this.
14:45
Especially the printed form. It is really nice. You can talk with Jeffrey Rice.
14:56
These words. Are in the context of judgment. The only answer
15:03
I have been able to offer. For many years now. For the self -deception.
15:09
The self -destructive deception. Going on in the West. Is judgment.
15:15
Judgment from God. That is the context in verse 10.
15:26
Destruction of the unrighteous. They would not love the truth so as to be saved. Receive the love of the truth.
15:34
For this reason. God sends upon them.
15:40
This is a divine act. Upon them. An operation.
15:51
Energy. Action. Power of deception.
16:01
Paul. This is Paul in Greek. Throughout his works.
16:11
So that they might believe. The lie.
16:20
So there is. As a part of judgment. God sends a power of deception.
16:27
So they might believe the lie. Again. Standard Pauline syntax.
16:38
In order that. The ones not believing.
16:46
The first part of the phrase. Is that all might be judged.
16:53
Who are the all that might be judged? The ones not believing the truth.
16:58
But finding pleasure in. Approving of.
17:06
Unrighteousness. The myth of neutrality is exploded.
17:14
In this text. The ones not believing the truth. They just did not hear.
17:21
It was not explained to them. The ones not believing the truth. But approving of.
17:29
Taking pleasure in. Unrighteousness. In order that all of them might be judged.
17:37
This is the context. People need to recognize.
17:43
That God has the right. To judge as he sees fit.
17:50
On a strict standard of justice.
17:56
If you are a sinner. God can call you to account.
18:02
By ending your life. At any point. If he does not.
18:11
That is an extension of a form. Of long -suffering patients.
18:17
A form of grace. If he does not do so.
18:26
There has to be a reason why he does not do so. He has a reason for everything he does.
18:34
It is amazing how many people. Will object to the reality. That God can judge. By sending.
18:41
An energy of deception.
18:48
Why not? If you love. If you love your.
18:56
Self -claimed autonomy. If you love the secular worldview. Every single point.
19:04
Involves you in rebellion against your creator. You are a pot. Stamped right under your tush.
19:11
Is made by in such and such a year. You are denying all of that.
19:17
Every element of secularism is a denial of that reality. Why should not.
19:24
God judge you? In fact send a spirit of deception. So you might believe.
19:32
Believe the lie. That is the only explanation I can see.
19:38
For the reality of what we are seeing. In the West today. We had so much light.
19:49
I think of London. And I think of so many places.
19:55
That I have visited. Where etched into the walls.
20:02
Are scriptural texts. And you pass by the places.
20:07
Where great men of God. Have proclaimed the truth. And thousands have listened.
20:13
And bowed the knee to Christ in the past. And now in my beloved
20:18
Scotland. Oh my goodness. The ungodliness. The institutionalized rebellion.
20:24
The embarrassment. That so many Scottish people have. Of their own history.
20:31
And of the centrality of Christ's claims in that history. Full -on rebellion.
20:38
Why should not God send an absolute spirit of delusion. To believe the lie.
20:46
And to. To give them up. As Romans chapter 1 says. To revel in their deception.
20:56
And in their own self -destruction. Why shouldn't he? God may well use this as an example.
21:04
In the far future. Of why we should never.
21:09
Ever go down this road ever again. But the fall will have to be great.
21:18
To produce that kind of example. Because a lot of us thought.
21:23
A lot of us are old enough to remember. The dissolution of the Soviet Union in 91.
21:28
The fall of the wall in 89. I was an adult.
21:34
I was well aware of the changes in the world. And people saying democracy has prevailed.
21:41
And all is well. And for a while there it looked like this is great.
21:46
This is fine. This is wonderful. But in reality. The communists had simply decided.
21:54
We have pretty well wiped out this area. Let's go wipe out the other area. By parachuting in behind the lines and taking over the universities.
22:03
And leaving this mess. And going over where it is nice to live for a while. We will destroy that in time as well.
22:11
And that is what they have been up to. But I remember those years.
22:18
So much light. And yet what have we done with it? We have made abortion as easy to obtain as possible.
22:26
We kill our young people. Now we profane marriage. We put people in positions of governmental authority.
22:33
Who pretend to be married to another man or woman. And rejoice when they abuse children.
22:40
We have made abortion as easy to obtain as possible. And rejoice when they abuse children. By putting them in that type of context. Sometimes it is hard to differentiate.
22:53
Between what is the judgment. And what brings the judgment. If you look at what happened in Israel.
23:04
It would escalate. Judgment comes. If it is not met with repentance.
23:10
There is a doubling down. More judgment comes. It is hard to tell at times.
23:17
Is the confusion on genders. What brings judgment?
23:23
Or is that judgment? It is probably both. Depending on the individual and the context.
23:29
The point was. Looking at what is going on. Listening to that astonishing.
23:35
Banana Republic dictator sermon. Yesterday. Looking at Trudeau.
23:46
And the attempt. To turn the unvaccinated. Into the modern version of the
23:51
Jew. That is exactly what is going on. It is happening in Germany. We have already forgotten.
23:59
It has been that short of a period of time. That you are going to do this again. As irrational as it was back then.
24:09
It is just as irrational today. We all still are thinking. That we can sit there and go.
24:16
Wait a minute. Look at the studies. Look at the rise in heart disease.
24:23
Look at the dangers. Look at the numbers. The fully vaccinated are getting more.
24:32
Can we have a rational conversation? No you can't. The jackbooted thugs and totalitarians.
24:39
Are not interested in rational conversation. They are not interested.
24:46
They are not going to allow it. They are still made in the image of God.
24:57
I am still going to look at any one of them. You know what you are doing is wrong. You know the life you are living is inconsistent.
25:06
Here is how you can have peace with God. If you will not do that.
25:12
This is the part the church does not want to say. This is what the judgment of God looks like.
25:19
This is what eternal punishment looks like. You will be held accountable.
25:26
I guarantee you. If the day comes. When the jackbooted thugs show up.
25:33
To cart me away. I am going to make sure. They are going to have to do what they did. They have to cut my tongue out.
25:42
Put a gag on me. I am going to be looking every single one in the eye. Telling them what the results of their actions will be.
25:49
Making sure they know. Exactly what is going to happen. I think that needs to happen a whole lot more.
25:57
I am just doing my job excuse. It does not cut it on the great day.
26:02
It really does not. There you go. Sorry.
26:11
I wish I had. Christ is king. He is building his church.
26:20
Truly when you see the level of darkness. That is in the minds of people around us.
26:28
We just have to hope. And believe. That this demonstration.
26:36
Of the utter self -destructiveness. Of secularism. Will stand as an important aspect.
26:47
Of the eventual. Destruction of all of these.
26:52
Anti -Christ ideologies. Our great -grandchildren.
27:01
Will read about these in the history books. Oh my goodness. What would have been like to live in those days.
27:08
When people thought men could marry men. We can never let that happen again.
27:14
Let's hope and pray that will come sooner. Than later. We must be very patient.
27:24
And steadfast. There is a DL short. I cannot tell from what
27:30
I am recording. Some thoughts for you today. We will be back with a regular dividing line.
