00:00:04,210 --> 00:00:06,530
Welcome to From the Pulpit in Classic Sermons.

2
00:00:06,790 --> 00:00:08,410
Each week we bring you a different message

3
00:00:08,410 --> 00:00:10,590
from some of history's greatest speakers in the

4
00:00:10,590 --> 00:00:11,210
Christian faith.

5
00:00:11,790 --> 00:00:13,570
And powerful sermons from modern preachers too.

6
00:00:14,390 --> 00:00:16,550
This week we have Jonathan Cahn with his

7
00:00:16,550 --> 00:00:18,570
message, Days of the Golden Calf.

8
00:00:20,930 --> 00:00:24,090
Everybody open up to the book of Exodus.

9
00:00:25,890 --> 00:00:29,610
Exodus chapter 32.

10
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:36,680
Exodus 32 and verse 1.

11
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,500
Now when the people saw that Moses delayed

12
00:00:41,500 --> 00:00:44,540
to come down from the mountain, the people

13
00:00:44,540 --> 00:00:47,980
assembled around Aaron and said to him, Come,

14
00:00:48,740 --> 00:00:50,720
make us a God who will go before

15
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:51,260
us.

16
00:00:52,180 --> 00:00:55,260
As for this Moses, the man who brought

17
00:00:55,260 --> 00:00:58,300
us up from the land of Egypt, we

18
00:00:58,300 --> 00:00:59,680
don't know what became of him.

19
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:01,140
Alright.

20
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:03,620
This is the scene.

21
00:01:04,580 --> 00:01:06,480
Actually we were in this scene about two

22
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,060
weeks ago when we spoke about entering God's

23
00:01:09,060 --> 00:01:10,600
presence, the portable mountaintop.

24
00:01:10,660 --> 00:01:13,000
But this is now the next part.

25
00:01:13,460 --> 00:01:15,560
This is where it kind of goes downhill

26
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,240
with God's people.

27
00:01:17,540 --> 00:01:19,560
But God's purposes don't change.

28
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:20,960
But this is what happens.

29
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,340
He's up there, forty days.

30
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,960
And there's thunder and there's lightning and there's

31
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:29,360
smoke going on on the Mount Sinai.

32
00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:31,640
All the people who have come out of

33
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,300
Egypt are now, have been watching that mountain.

34
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:37,380
Moses goes up.

35
00:01:37,460 --> 00:01:40,220
He receives the Torah, the law.

36
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,200
Meanwhile, the people see that Moses is not

37
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:44,680
coming down.

38
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:45,620
It's been over a month.

39
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,040
A month and ten days.

40
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,980
They said when they saw when Moses was

41
00:01:49,980 --> 00:01:52,460
delayed, or delayed to come down.

42
00:01:52,500 --> 00:01:54,960
But really Moses wasn't quite delayed.

43
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,120
It was God's will on the mountain receiving

44
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,300
the law, what would be marked at 613

45
00:02:01,300 --> 00:02:01,840
commandments.

46
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,980
We think there are delays, but in God's

47
00:02:05,980 --> 00:02:07,259
plan there's no delay.

48
00:02:08,259 --> 00:02:10,600
God is always working in the heavenlies with

49
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:11,020
His will.

50
00:02:11,180 --> 00:02:11,960
God is working.

51
00:02:12,460 --> 00:02:15,200
God's will will happen when you think not.

52
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:16,700
When you think there's a delay.

53
00:02:16,860 --> 00:02:18,740
As long as you're in God's will, there's

54
00:02:18,740 --> 00:02:19,300
no delay.

55
00:02:19,860 --> 00:02:20,980
Even though there are things that might not

56
00:02:20,980 --> 00:02:22,080
be happening in our time.

57
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,280
You know, we get into a traffic jam

58
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:25,740
and we get all bent out of shape.

59
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,160
As if we're delayed.

60
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,020
As if we should be somewhere else.

61
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:30,680
Well, maybe you messed up.

62
00:02:30,740 --> 00:02:31,440
Maybe you were late.

63
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:32,800
But now you're in, you got to be

64
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:33,340
in God's will.

65
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:34,220
You're not delayed.

66
00:02:34,540 --> 00:02:36,140
You have to be in, if you are

67
00:02:36,140 --> 00:02:38,220
with God in that car, you're not delayed.

68
00:02:39,300 --> 00:02:41,180
When we were in the, we were in

69
00:02:41,180 --> 00:02:42,860
our building.

70
00:02:43,300 --> 00:02:45,400
And we were running out of room in

71
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,280
our first little building.

72
00:02:47,420 --> 00:02:48,800
The size of I don't know what.

73
00:02:48,920 --> 00:02:51,200
Just a very small portion of this room.

74
00:02:51,300 --> 00:02:52,100
Very, very small.

75
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:53,820
The very first building, not the one in

76
00:02:53,820 --> 00:02:54,180
Garfield.

77
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:55,200
We were in Lodot.

78
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:56,400
We were running out of room.

79
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,220
We were growing and we had this place.

80
00:03:00,300 --> 00:03:03,080
We found this place and we were sure

81
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:03,560
it was it.

82
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,300
And we went up to the town.

83
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,240
And they, waiting for months, they voted it

84
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:09,600
down.

85
00:03:10,460 --> 00:03:12,480
And it turned out that it was the

86
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,040
day after they voted it down.

87
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:15,640
Or after we got the news.

88
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,880
The day after we went out and we

89
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,320
found the building that would be our building.

90
00:03:20,420 --> 00:03:22,100
That was ten times our first size.

91
00:03:22,180 --> 00:03:23,280
It was nothing compared to the one we

92
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:23,580
thought.

93
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,040
And it was always there.

94
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:26,440
It was there for two years.

95
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,680
And it only, it took us losing a

96
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,620
building three times the size of our first

97
00:03:31,620 --> 00:03:31,980
building.

98
00:03:31,980 --> 00:03:34,480
To get the one that was ten times

99
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:35,020
the size.

100
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,020
And so God was waiting.

101
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,100
It wasn't the building that wasn't ready.

102
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:40,720
It was our faith that wasn't ready.

103
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,460
So God was not delaying something.

104
00:03:43,580 --> 00:03:44,800
He was working on our faith.

105
00:03:45,580 --> 00:03:48,060
We had to get so desperate that we

106
00:03:48,060 --> 00:03:51,780
would accept something that was beyond our belief

107
00:03:51,780 --> 00:03:52,260
first.

108
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,720
Messiah's first coming, when he came, the timing,

109
00:03:56,020 --> 00:03:58,760
it was the timing that God had.

110
00:03:58,820 --> 00:03:59,940
It wasn't the timing of Israel.

111
00:03:59,940 --> 00:04:02,140
It wasn't the way they wanted it.

112
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,820
In our lives, God is working out his

113
00:04:04,820 --> 00:04:05,940
will in his time.

114
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:07,440
As long as we are in his will,

115
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,220
you are not on hold.

116
00:04:09,380 --> 00:04:11,200
You are never on hold in God's will.

117
00:04:11,260 --> 00:04:13,940
There's always something to do to glorify him.

118
00:04:14,780 --> 00:04:17,100
Here though, they think he is delayed.

119
00:04:17,540 --> 00:04:19,399
And so it says, they come up to

120
00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:22,980
Aram and they say, Make us gods to

121
00:04:22,980 --> 00:04:24,740
go out before us that we may move

122
00:04:24,740 --> 00:04:25,000
on.

123
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:26,840
This Moses is not coming down, it looks

124
00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:27,060
like.

125
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:28,500
We don't know what happened to him.

126
00:04:29,020 --> 00:04:30,440
We don't know what's going on.

127
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:31,180
This Moses.

128
00:04:31,220 --> 00:04:32,740
It's kind of like the prodigal son.

129
00:04:32,860 --> 00:04:35,520
Remember when he says, this, this son of

130
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:35,900
yours.

131
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:37,840
He speaks about his brother, but he says,

132
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,020
this son of yours.

133
00:04:39,020 --> 00:04:39,900
Doesn't say my brother.

134
00:04:40,140 --> 00:04:40,640
This son.

135
00:04:40,700 --> 00:04:42,100
Well here they say, this Moses.

136
00:04:42,860 --> 00:04:44,620
The man who brought us out of Egypt.

137
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:46,840
We don't know what happened to him.

138
00:04:47,540 --> 00:04:49,760
This man who brought us out of Egypt

139
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,180
and they're going to abandon him.

140
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,340
That ought to tell you something.

141
00:04:53,460 --> 00:04:55,940
This is the guy who brought down judgment.

142
00:04:55,940 --> 00:04:57,020
God did it through him.

143
00:04:57,300 --> 00:04:58,200
Open up the sea.

144
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,780
God was with him and they're going to

145
00:05:00,780 --> 00:05:01,740
abandon him.

146
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:03,400
He's with God.

147
00:05:03,500 --> 00:05:04,220
He's on the mountain.

148
00:05:04,380 --> 00:05:05,160
He didn't leave the mountain.

149
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:06,220
He couldn't have gotten down.

150
00:05:06,300 --> 00:05:07,120
He's still on there.

151
00:05:07,340 --> 00:05:08,280
The smoke is there.

152
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,220
They might have figured that he's dead.

153
00:05:10,300 --> 00:05:11,720
That he got killed up there because they're

154
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:12,520
not going to go up.

155
00:05:13,380 --> 00:05:14,760
But all of them saw him go up.

156
00:05:14,820 --> 00:05:15,840
They didn't see him go down.

157
00:05:16,940 --> 00:05:18,640
So how could they do this?

158
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,260
Well, people are flaky.

159
00:05:21,380 --> 00:05:21,980
That's a rule.

160
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,640
Think of all that they saw.

161
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,820
And how could they say, all that they

162
00:05:26,820 --> 00:05:27,100
saw.

163
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,780
Well, think of all we've seen.

164
00:05:29,740 --> 00:05:32,300
And when you doubt, after all, you wrote

165
00:05:32,300 --> 00:05:33,980
down all the prayers God answered.

166
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:35,720
The times when he just spoke to you.

167
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,320
Remember all you have seen.

168
00:05:38,860 --> 00:05:40,600
And let that keep you when you're going

169
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:41,500
through a tough time.

170
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,700
When you don't see what God is doing.

171
00:05:43,900 --> 00:05:45,640
Remember what he did.

172
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,240
The one who took you out of Egypt.

173
00:05:48,620 --> 00:05:50,760
Yeshua, Messiah, Jesus.

174
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,500
Remember who took you out of Egypt.

175
00:05:52,840 --> 00:05:54,820
Remember what your life was like back then.

176
00:05:55,620 --> 00:05:56,420
Remember that.

177
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,720
All the other issues are nothing.

178
00:05:59,700 --> 00:06:02,480
You know, ministers worrying about their ministries, financial

179
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:03,660
problems, or wait a minute.

180
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:05,320
Forget all that.

181
00:06:05,500 --> 00:06:07,200
Remember who took you out of Egypt.

182
00:06:08,220 --> 00:06:09,260
You know, you're worried about all that.

183
00:06:09,260 --> 00:06:10,540
It means nothing in the end.

184
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:11,800
He's your Savior.

185
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:12,820
Remember Calvary.

186
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:14,480
Remember Messiah.

187
00:06:14,700 --> 00:06:16,440
When he asked his disciples and he said,

188
00:06:16,660 --> 00:06:17,560
will you leave me too?

189
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,200
And Peter answered, well, who else?

190
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:21,080
We can't leave you.

191
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,280
Nobody else has the words of eternal life.

192
00:06:23,740 --> 00:06:25,120
That's the way we have to be.

193
00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:27,280
Here's the beginning of the Torah.

194
00:06:27,940 --> 00:06:28,540
The law.

195
00:06:29,100 --> 00:06:29,700
The Old Covenant.

196
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:31,560
And already they're falling.

197
00:06:32,260 --> 00:06:34,840
Reveals that the law could not save.

198
00:06:35,260 --> 00:06:36,600
From the very beginning.

199
00:06:37,340 --> 00:06:40,420
The law was added, Paul said, to reveal

200
00:06:40,420 --> 00:06:40,880
sin.

201
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,480
So this will be from the beginning.

202
00:06:43,580 --> 00:06:45,500
It shows you how it's not going to

203
00:06:45,500 --> 00:06:46,320
be in the Old Covenant.

204
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:47,880
That's going to save anybody.

205
00:06:48,660 --> 00:06:49,260
Note the delay.

206
00:06:49,380 --> 00:06:51,240
There's a delay, and there's a fall to

207
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:51,500
sin.

208
00:06:51,620 --> 00:06:54,420
Be very careful when you think there's a

209
00:06:54,420 --> 00:06:55,100
delay in your life.

210
00:06:55,220 --> 00:06:57,160
Be very careful when you think you're not

211
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:58,260
getting what you need.

212
00:06:58,540 --> 00:07:00,080
What, what you need is delayed.

213
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,420
Like for instance, I've known women who were

214
00:07:03,420 --> 00:07:05,500
waiting in the Lord, or, or wanted to

215
00:07:05,500 --> 00:07:07,560
get married so much that when it didn't

216
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,000
happen the way they thought, they went off

217
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,080
with the wrong person.

218
00:07:11,180 --> 00:07:12,760
They went off even out of the Lord.

219
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,500
When you don't get that thing you wanted,

220
00:07:16,780 --> 00:07:17,260
beware.

221
00:07:17,980 --> 00:07:20,320
When the Israelites lost, they lost the war,

222
00:07:20,580 --> 00:07:22,680
they couldn't wait, they said, OK, we're going

223
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:23,700
to jump ahead now.

224
00:07:24,060 --> 00:07:25,600
We're going to fight the next battle on

225
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:26,040
our own.

226
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,220
And they got destroyed.

227
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,200
It's the lesson of the Master being away

228
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:31,920
as well.

229
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,700
They believe Moses is gone.

230
00:07:35,460 --> 00:07:36,800
We can do our own thing now.

231
00:07:36,860 --> 00:07:37,780
We don't have Moses.

232
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:38,940
We don't have Moshe.

233
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,380
We don't have Mo to tell us what

234
00:07:40,380 --> 00:07:40,940
to do now.

235
00:07:40,940 --> 00:07:42,420
We can do our own thing.

236
00:07:42,780 --> 00:07:44,820
We're going to take matters into our own

237
00:07:44,820 --> 00:07:45,040
hands.

238
00:07:45,140 --> 00:07:47,080
Beware of taking matters into your own hands.

239
00:07:47,900 --> 00:07:49,340
Adam and Eve, same thing.

240
00:07:49,820 --> 00:07:51,340
They didn't see God right there.

241
00:07:51,580 --> 00:07:52,820
God seemed to be away.

242
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,120
They did their thing.

243
00:07:54,540 --> 00:07:57,460
The parable that Messiah gives, the Master left

244
00:07:57,460 --> 00:07:59,980
the servants, and the servants did as they

245
00:07:59,980 --> 00:08:00,400
pleased.

246
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:01,240
They took over.

247
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:02,440
They partied.

248
00:08:02,660 --> 00:08:03,960
They beat up each other.

249
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,320
They went crazy, as if He was never

250
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:07,020
coming back.

251
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,560
So here, Moses is gone, it looks like.

252
00:08:10,780 --> 00:08:13,420
It looks like God is gone, which is

253
00:08:13,420 --> 00:08:16,840
crazy, because we don't realize He's there all

254
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:17,180
the time.

255
00:08:17,260 --> 00:08:18,320
He's watching all the time.

256
00:08:18,420 --> 00:08:19,280
You're never alone.

257
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,280
Those people were slaves in Egypt.

258
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,400
They saw the judgment, saw the plague, saw

259
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,180
the Red Sea, and now look at what

260
00:08:27,180 --> 00:08:27,680
they're doing.

261
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:29,880
How can they do that?

262
00:08:30,100 --> 00:08:33,559
The same way we are flaky when we

263
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,120
seek so much from God.

264
00:08:35,940 --> 00:08:39,700
They say to Aaron, Make us gods.

265
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,380
Make us idols.

266
00:08:43,140 --> 00:08:45,120
Actually, in English, you see a double truth.

267
00:08:45,540 --> 00:08:46,540
Make us gods.

268
00:08:46,740 --> 00:08:49,540
When you make idols, you're making yourself a

269
00:08:49,540 --> 00:08:49,920
god.

270
00:08:50,420 --> 00:08:50,840
Why?

271
00:08:51,180 --> 00:08:53,740
You become the creator of the thing you're

272
00:08:53,740 --> 00:08:54,240
worshiping.

273
00:08:54,340 --> 00:08:57,960
So you're saying, really, it's about you.

274
00:08:58,440 --> 00:08:59,460
Moses failed.

275
00:08:59,980 --> 00:09:01,900
So we need a new leader, they think.

276
00:09:01,900 --> 00:09:03,620
They can't see Moses.

277
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:04,960
They never could see God.

278
00:09:05,140 --> 00:09:06,820
They saw the signs of it.

279
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,080
But an interesting word in Hebrew, they say,

280
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:10,740
make us.

281
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:12,680
The word in Hebrew is Elohim.

282
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,080
You should all know that word.

283
00:09:14,220 --> 00:09:14,520
Say it.

284
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,040
You can translate Elohim two ways.

285
00:09:18,180 --> 00:09:20,540
You can translate it as God, and you

286
00:09:20,540 --> 00:09:23,400
can translate it as gods, plural, because it's

287
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:24,160
a plural word.

288
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,240
There's only one God, but this is the

289
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:26,800
awesomeness.

290
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:28,420
This is where they see the triunity of

291
00:09:28,420 --> 00:09:30,520
God from the very beginning of the Scripture.

292
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,260
In the beginning, God, but it's more, He's

293
00:09:33,260 --> 00:09:34,840
bigger than what you think, but it's one.

294
00:09:35,780 --> 00:09:38,000
But it's also, that same word is translated

295
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,920
in the Bible in different contexts of gods.

296
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,860
When it speaks of the gods, Elohim.

297
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:44,780
So it's either going to be, it means

298
00:09:44,780 --> 00:09:47,800
God in His majesty, or it means God's

299
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:48,200
idols.

300
00:09:49,140 --> 00:09:50,840
So you've got to always have a choice.

301
00:09:51,420 --> 00:09:55,360
It's either God in His majesty, or gods

302
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:55,840
and idols.

303
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,420
It looks very similar, so be careful.

304
00:09:58,420 --> 00:10:02,280
Are you looking at Elohim God, or have

305
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,500
you started looking at Elohim idols in your

306
00:10:04,500 --> 00:10:04,820
life?

307
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,760
Whatever you serve, that's your God.

308
00:10:08,100 --> 00:10:10,760
Whatever you most delight in, that's your God,

309
00:10:10,820 --> 00:10:11,520
or your idol.

310
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,240
Whatever is your real motive, that's your God.

311
00:10:14,420 --> 00:10:16,020
Your real focus, God.

312
00:10:16,220 --> 00:10:17,880
Your real ultimate thing, that's it.

313
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:19,520
What are you really living for, that's your

314
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:19,820
God.

315
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:21,560
What is your God?

316
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,680
Your Elohim, the one or many things in

317
00:10:24,680 --> 00:10:25,160
your life.

318
00:10:26,260 --> 00:10:29,360
Here they make it to Sinai by God,

319
00:10:29,420 --> 00:10:30,920
and they're saying, but we're going to continue

320
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,180
on our own.

321
00:10:33,100 --> 00:10:34,660
Who has seen such a thing, God says,

322
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:35,320
when He looks at this?

323
00:10:35,380 --> 00:10:37,280
He says, who has even heard of this,

324
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,420
where a nation exchanges its gods?

325
00:10:40,740 --> 00:10:42,260
No nation exchanged gods.

326
00:10:42,420 --> 00:10:43,880
They came up with their own, pretty much.

327
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:45,240
They came up with their own gods, so

328
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,920
they didn't, but God was real, Israel, so

329
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,580
Israel actually is exchanging its God.

330
00:10:50,580 --> 00:10:57,310
Verse 2, And Aaron said to them, What,

331
00:10:57,410 --> 00:10:58,010
are you crazy?

332
00:10:58,130 --> 00:10:59,350
How could you be doing this?

333
00:10:59,890 --> 00:11:00,830
No, he didn't.

334
00:11:01,110 --> 00:11:02,290
That's what he should have said.

335
00:11:03,330 --> 00:11:05,930
He said, tear off the gold rings which

336
00:11:05,930 --> 00:11:08,770
are in the ears of your wives, your

337
00:11:08,770 --> 00:11:12,390
sons, they wore rings too, and your daughters,

338
00:11:13,170 --> 00:11:14,770
and bring them to me.

339
00:11:15,310 --> 00:11:17,750
Aaron, how could you?

340
00:11:18,690 --> 00:11:23,230
Aaron, who saw everything, how could he do

341
00:11:23,230 --> 00:11:23,610
that?

342
00:11:24,750 --> 00:11:27,630
Then all the people tore off the golden

343
00:11:27,630 --> 00:11:30,570
rings which were in their ears, and brought

344
00:11:30,570 --> 00:11:31,570
them to Aaron.

345
00:11:32,030 --> 00:11:35,190
They willingly give up their treasures and their

346
00:11:35,190 --> 00:11:37,630
jewelry for their new God.

347
00:11:38,610 --> 00:11:42,430
Verse 4, And he took this from their

348
00:11:42,430 --> 00:11:45,750
hand and fashioned it with a carving tool

349
00:11:45,750 --> 00:11:48,770
and made it into a molten calf.

350
00:11:48,770 --> 00:11:51,330
The golden calf.

351
00:11:51,990 --> 00:11:54,510
Israel is descending to the ways of the

352
00:11:54,510 --> 00:11:54,870
nations.

353
00:11:55,170 --> 00:11:56,990
Here they're given the covenant, they're called out,

354
00:11:57,070 --> 00:12:00,190
Be peculiar, I've called you separate, different from

355
00:12:00,190 --> 00:12:01,230
all the nations of the world.

356
00:12:01,430 --> 00:12:05,110
A holy royal priesthood who brought you out

357
00:12:05,110 --> 00:12:05,570
of Egypt.

358
00:12:05,790 --> 00:12:06,850
How could they do it?

359
00:12:07,070 --> 00:12:12,570
Verse 5, He built an altar before the

360
00:12:12,570 --> 00:12:13,010
calf.

361
00:12:13,750 --> 00:12:17,270
And Aaron made a proclamation, a proclamation.

362
00:12:18,150 --> 00:12:21,470
Tomorrow shall be a festival, a feast to

363
00:12:21,470 --> 00:12:22,170
the Lord.

364
00:12:22,830 --> 00:12:23,650
A proclamation.

365
00:12:23,910 --> 00:12:28,130
Verse 6, So the next day, they rose

366
00:12:28,130 --> 00:12:31,330
early and offered burnt offerings and brought shalom,

367
00:12:31,550 --> 00:12:32,310
peace offerings.

368
00:12:32,530 --> 00:12:35,750
The people sat down to eat and drink

369
00:12:36,050 --> 00:12:38,030
and rose up to play.

370
00:12:38,510 --> 00:12:39,630
They rose early.

371
00:12:39,790 --> 00:12:43,110
That's a word for, it denotes zeal for

372
00:12:43,110 --> 00:12:43,670
sin.

373
00:12:43,670 --> 00:12:46,230
So picture this scene here.

374
00:12:47,710 --> 00:12:50,370
Imagine being there and seeing it.

375
00:12:50,450 --> 00:12:51,730
Imagine you are in the camp.

376
00:12:52,010 --> 00:12:54,170
Imagine you are one of the Israelites taken

377
00:12:54,170 --> 00:12:56,690
out of Egypt and you watch this happening.

378
00:12:56,790 --> 00:12:58,390
I want you to remember this scene.

379
00:12:59,510 --> 00:13:01,650
Because we are now going to open up

380
00:13:01,650 --> 00:13:03,410
an entirely different realm.

381
00:13:03,970 --> 00:13:05,070
A prophetic realm.

382
00:13:05,750 --> 00:13:09,250
The key here, the tablets, the law.

383
00:13:10,450 --> 00:13:13,230
Moses will look down and see this happening.

384
00:13:13,870 --> 00:13:15,910
And as he sees it happening, he will

385
00:13:15,910 --> 00:13:18,410
take those tablets of the law and smash

386
00:13:18,410 --> 00:13:18,730
them.

387
00:13:20,050 --> 00:13:22,050
And we see two pictures going on here.

388
00:13:22,610 --> 00:13:24,370
One on the top of the mountain, the

389
00:13:24,370 --> 00:13:25,030
other on the bottom.

390
00:13:25,510 --> 00:13:27,270
On the bottom of the mountain, we see

391
00:13:27,270 --> 00:13:28,070
apostasy.

392
00:13:28,650 --> 00:13:30,750
We see a people falling away from their

393
00:13:30,750 --> 00:13:31,170
God.

394
00:13:31,410 --> 00:13:35,130
We see a people in gross, gross debauchery.

395
00:13:35,350 --> 00:13:36,650
And on the top of the mountain, we

396
00:13:36,650 --> 00:13:37,290
see holiness.

397
00:13:37,450 --> 00:13:38,330
We see God's presence.

398
00:13:38,510 --> 00:13:39,590
And we see the law.

399
00:13:39,590 --> 00:13:43,510
And we see Moses then smashing those tablets.

400
00:13:43,730 --> 00:13:45,810
We have the tablets on one hand.

401
00:13:45,990 --> 00:13:47,950
We have the golden calf on the other.

402
00:13:48,530 --> 00:13:50,590
The one is the opposite of the other.

403
00:13:51,490 --> 00:13:54,230
The golden calf is built in the absence

404
00:13:54,230 --> 00:13:55,790
of God and His law.

405
00:13:56,930 --> 00:13:59,430
And the tablets are smashed because of the

406
00:13:59,430 --> 00:14:00,130
golden calf.

407
00:14:00,630 --> 00:14:01,930
They cannot go together.

408
00:14:02,430 --> 00:14:04,710
They go against, they war against each other.

409
00:14:05,330 --> 00:14:06,530
And we are going to see in this

410
00:14:06,530 --> 00:14:08,090
a prophetic revelation.

411
00:14:08,090 --> 00:14:08,850
Amazing.

412
00:14:09,530 --> 00:14:12,850
Of what's happening right now before our eyes.

413
00:14:14,790 --> 00:14:20,670
Western civilization was founded, birthed, not only in

414
00:14:20,670 --> 00:14:23,590
Greece as you hear, Rome as you're taught,

415
00:14:24,190 --> 00:14:28,070
but most centrally in spirit in Israel.

416
00:14:28,710 --> 00:14:32,150
It was all crystallized and born, adopted from

417
00:14:32,150 --> 00:14:32,470
Israel.

418
00:14:32,570 --> 00:14:35,770
The idea of a chosen people, a covenant

419
00:14:35,770 --> 00:14:36,330
people.

420
00:14:36,330 --> 00:14:39,290
Western civilization has this built into it.

421
00:14:39,690 --> 00:14:40,170
It's DNA.

422
00:14:42,050 --> 00:14:43,590
America was born within that.

423
00:14:44,150 --> 00:14:44,990
And even more so.

424
00:14:45,470 --> 00:14:48,610
Americans, the founders of this nation, the pilgrims,

425
00:14:48,710 --> 00:14:52,090
the Puritans, they saw this new civilization as

426
00:14:52,090 --> 00:14:53,230
a new Israel.

427
00:14:54,030 --> 00:14:56,470
Coming out of bondage from the old world.

428
00:14:56,550 --> 00:14:58,010
The old world was like Egypt to them.

429
00:14:58,830 --> 00:15:01,090
John Winthrop, one of the founders called the

430
00:15:01,090 --> 00:15:04,530
grandfather of America, coming on the ship, the

431
00:15:04,530 --> 00:15:08,390
Arbella, coming to New England with a Puritan

432
00:15:08,390 --> 00:15:10,690
called the Exodus of the Puritans.

433
00:15:11,370 --> 00:15:15,550
He wrote that America would be a city

434
00:15:15,550 --> 00:15:16,090
on a hill.

435
00:15:16,910 --> 00:15:18,730
The nations of the world would look to

436
00:15:18,730 --> 00:15:18,950
it.

437
00:15:19,930 --> 00:15:22,230
And he quoted from Deuteronomy.

438
00:15:22,290 --> 00:15:24,590
He quoted from Moses the same words that

439
00:15:24,590 --> 00:15:27,190
Moses gave Israel as they were about to

440
00:15:27,190 --> 00:15:28,430
enter the promised land.

441
00:15:28,850 --> 00:15:32,330
He based his message to the first, the

442
00:15:32,330 --> 00:15:35,830
founders of America, on Moses' word to Israel.

443
00:15:36,670 --> 00:15:39,150
The first proposed seal of the United States

444
00:15:39,150 --> 00:15:42,490
drafted by Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson was

445
00:15:42,490 --> 00:15:43,990
an image of the Exodus.

446
00:15:45,510 --> 00:15:49,450
America as crossing the Red Sea and leaving

447
00:15:49,450 --> 00:15:50,310
the old behind.

448
00:15:51,150 --> 00:15:53,450
America was parallel to Israel.

449
00:15:54,170 --> 00:15:57,390
Its ethics, its morality, its system of law

450
00:15:57,390 --> 00:16:00,770
largely founded on the laws of Moses.

451
00:16:00,770 --> 00:16:03,690
There were even laws of the colonies of

452
00:16:03,690 --> 00:16:06,850
some of the states that mentioned the law,

453
00:16:06,930 --> 00:16:08,670
but one said the law of Moses will

454
00:16:08,670 --> 00:16:09,330
be our law.

455
00:16:10,970 --> 00:16:15,610
As with Israel, the founders of this civilization,

456
00:16:16,130 --> 00:16:19,570
they saw America as in covenant with God.

457
00:16:20,270 --> 00:16:23,030
The difference was, the one who was their

458
00:16:23,030 --> 00:16:25,310
redeemer was not Moses, but was Messiah.

459
00:16:26,590 --> 00:16:29,090
Moses was a foreshadow of him anyway.

460
00:16:29,090 --> 00:16:31,790
John Winthrop gave a warning to America.

461
00:16:32,450 --> 00:16:35,990
He said, if America followed God, it would

462
00:16:35,990 --> 00:16:38,930
be the most blessed nation on earth.

463
00:16:39,370 --> 00:16:42,030
If it turned away from God, it would

464
00:16:42,030 --> 00:16:44,050
become the most cursed nation on earth.

465
00:16:44,730 --> 00:16:46,330
We're going to see from this scene from

466
00:16:46,330 --> 00:16:49,090
the mountain of Sinai, a prophetic revelation that's

467
00:16:49,090 --> 00:16:52,270
going to explain what is happening in Western

468
00:16:52,270 --> 00:16:56,450
civilization today, global civilization, and America in particular.

469
00:16:56,450 --> 00:16:58,350
Let's go back now.

470
00:16:58,410 --> 00:17:00,490
Let's look at just those first verses here

471
00:17:00,490 --> 00:17:02,770
and see what it uncovers.

472
00:17:02,910 --> 00:17:04,089
We're going to do more in the future.

473
00:17:04,589 --> 00:17:05,250
This is an opening.

474
00:17:05,650 --> 00:17:06,790
Very important here.

475
00:17:07,609 --> 00:17:08,089
Verse 1.

476
00:17:08,849 --> 00:17:11,670
When the people saw that Moses delayed to

477
00:17:11,670 --> 00:17:15,390
come down from the mountain, the people assembled

478
00:17:15,390 --> 00:17:19,089
around Aaron and said, come make us a

479
00:17:19,089 --> 00:17:22,250
God who will go out before us as

480
00:17:22,250 --> 00:17:24,490
for this Moses, this man who brought us

481
00:17:24,490 --> 00:17:26,890
out of Egypt, we don't know what happened

482
00:17:26,890 --> 00:17:27,250
to him.

483
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,500
When they saw, there was a delay.

484
00:17:35,620 --> 00:17:39,420
George Washington, on his inauguration, gave warning, told

485
00:17:39,420 --> 00:17:40,300
the nation this.

486
00:17:40,980 --> 00:17:44,060
He said, no people are bound to acknowledge

487
00:17:44,060 --> 00:17:46,020
the hand of God more than America.

488
00:17:46,780 --> 00:17:48,840
He has been with us in everything that

489
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:49,240
happened.

490
00:17:49,900 --> 00:17:52,560
And he said, and I paraphrase, if the

491
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,940
nation rejects the ways of God, God will

492
00:17:56,940 --> 00:17:59,180
withdraw his favor from the land.

493
00:18:00,460 --> 00:18:02,900
Moses went up, left his people.

494
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,040
2,000 years ago, Messiah went up.

495
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:07,680
He ascended.

496
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,020
Israel was told to be holy and wait

497
00:18:11,020 --> 00:18:12,100
for the return of Moses.

498
00:18:12,700 --> 00:18:16,080
Messiah told his disciples, I'm coming back.

499
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,080
I will come back.

500
00:18:18,300 --> 00:18:18,720
Be ready.

501
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:24,460
From this came Western civilization and so all

502
00:18:24,460 --> 00:18:27,780
of Western civilization was based originally on Messiah

503
00:18:27,780 --> 00:18:29,760
and that he's coming back.

504
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,580
It was called a Christian civilization.

505
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:34,640
That was certainly the foundation.

506
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,820
In Exodus, it seemed like Messiah was delayed

507
00:18:38,820 --> 00:18:39,980
in his coming down.

508
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,020
The people of Israel, in that delay, turned

509
00:18:43,020 --> 00:18:43,700
to apostasy.

510
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,360
So, what we are watching now in the

511
00:18:46,360 --> 00:18:51,320
world, this whole Western civilization, Europe and all

512
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,060
that, the delay of Messiah, what seems to

513
00:18:54,060 --> 00:18:56,980
be the delay of his coming, and it's

514
00:18:56,980 --> 00:18:57,800
even spoken about.

515
00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,460
People say, where is the promise of his

516
00:18:59,460 --> 00:18:59,760
coming?

517
00:19:00,340 --> 00:19:04,000
Has led to a turning away and apostasy

518
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,260
that we are watching throughout the world.

519
00:19:07,120 --> 00:19:08,800
A rise of secularism.

520
00:19:09,580 --> 00:19:13,120
It's the 20th century that saw things that

521
00:19:13,120 --> 00:19:14,280
would never happen before.

522
00:19:14,500 --> 00:19:17,340
It's because it was 20 centuries where Messiah

523
00:19:17,340 --> 00:19:18,400
had not yet returned.

524
00:19:19,100 --> 00:19:20,840
You saw the rise of atheism.

525
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,600
The rise of communism.

526
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:24,440
The rise of fascism.

527
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,140
The rise of Nazism.

528
00:19:26,460 --> 00:19:28,140
The rise of all these things.

529
00:19:28,220 --> 00:19:30,780
The longer the delay, the greater the potential

530
00:19:30,780 --> 00:19:34,200
for apostasy among those who stop waiting.

531
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,160
And we've seen the horrors of it as

532
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:38,780
man declares himself God.

533
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:39,840
We see that in the Holocaust.

534
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:44,160
Verse...

535
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:45,700
Actually, we can start right...

536
00:19:45,700 --> 00:19:52,140
America was born, founded, everything on God.

537
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,360
The school system was founded to teach the

538
00:19:55,360 --> 00:19:55,640
Bible.

539
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,140
The government was founded to carry out the

540
00:19:59,140 --> 00:20:00,600
gospel originally.

541
00:20:01,420 --> 00:20:03,720
All seen as a covenant with God.

542
00:20:04,060 --> 00:20:06,960
But we have watched a progressive turning away.

543
00:20:07,180 --> 00:20:08,280
There have been revivals.

544
00:20:08,660 --> 00:20:09,720
There are revivals.

545
00:20:10,120 --> 00:20:12,080
God's spirit is alive and well among his

546
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:12,440
people.

547
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:17,960
But the mainstream culture has turned progressively away

548
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:18,560
from God.

549
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,340
One of the turning points was the 1960s.

550
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:23,760
Prayer was removed from school.

551
00:20:24,700 --> 00:20:26,160
The Bible was removed from school.

552
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,800
That's a nation removing prayer and the Bible

553
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:31,660
from its future and we are reaping the

554
00:20:31,660 --> 00:20:32,480
fruits of it now.

555
00:20:32,980 --> 00:20:34,380
It's not just that one act.

556
00:20:34,500 --> 00:20:35,660
It's that that was symbolic.

557
00:20:36,120 --> 00:20:37,060
That was an epitome.

558
00:20:38,060 --> 00:20:40,620
The nation began removing God from its public

559
00:20:40,620 --> 00:20:41,100
life.

560
00:20:43,910 --> 00:20:44,590
1963.

561
00:20:44,990 --> 00:20:47,630
Right after these two things were removed, we

562
00:20:47,630 --> 00:20:49,370
watched the assassination of a president.

563
00:20:49,570 --> 00:20:50,950
Years of unrest, violence.

564
00:20:51,150 --> 00:20:53,110
America lost its first war.

565
00:20:54,010 --> 00:20:55,230
A moral slide.

566
00:20:55,810 --> 00:20:57,330
Something called a sexual revolution.

567
00:20:57,910 --> 00:20:58,450
New morality.

568
00:20:58,550 --> 00:20:59,710
Things we are reaping now.

569
00:21:00,450 --> 00:21:04,010
A decline in virtually all factors of well

570
00:21:04,010 --> 00:21:07,110
-being for about three decades or so.

571
00:21:07,890 --> 00:21:12,030
A decline in America's power relative to the

572
00:21:12,030 --> 00:21:12,390
world.

573
00:21:12,390 --> 00:21:14,110
Actually, I'm not going to get into it

574
00:21:14,110 --> 00:21:16,070
today, but you know the last eight years,

575
00:21:16,450 --> 00:21:21,530
America's relative economic power has declined drastically with

576
00:21:21,530 --> 00:21:22,750
regard to the rest of the world.

577
00:21:24,790 --> 00:21:28,310
America was in a sense founded on the

578
00:21:28,310 --> 00:21:30,250
moral foundation of the Bible, Ten Commandments.

579
00:21:30,570 --> 00:21:33,590
Even up to the 1960s was still deeply

580
00:21:33,590 --> 00:21:34,590
affected by it.

581
00:21:35,470 --> 00:21:37,990
America was founded on the same law given

582
00:21:37,990 --> 00:21:38,510
to Israel.

583
00:21:39,110 --> 00:21:41,350
In fact, the images of the Ten Commandments,

584
00:21:41,350 --> 00:21:44,050
this scene here, or the Ten Commandments or

585
00:21:44,050 --> 00:21:47,550
Moses giving them are actually engraved or painted

586
00:21:47,550 --> 00:21:50,190
or sculpted in the halls of Congress or

587
00:21:50,190 --> 00:21:52,490
in Washington in several buildings.

588
00:21:54,190 --> 00:21:57,090
The law, the Bible, was seen as the

589
00:21:57,090 --> 00:21:57,550
foundation.

590
00:21:58,990 --> 00:22:00,990
But as here in this scene the people

591
00:22:00,990 --> 00:22:04,250
turn away from that, so America also.

592
00:22:04,390 --> 00:22:06,190
In 1980, something happened.

593
00:22:07,090 --> 00:22:09,370
There's a case that came to the Supreme

594
00:22:09,370 --> 00:22:12,770
Court involving the Ten Commandments.

595
00:22:13,110 --> 00:22:15,450
The Ten Commandments was put on trial.

596
00:22:15,570 --> 00:22:16,110
Can you imagine?

597
00:22:17,190 --> 00:22:21,410
The case was called, interesting enough, Stone v.

598
00:22:21,630 --> 00:22:22,010
Graham.

599
00:22:22,930 --> 00:22:25,810
Imagine the Ten Commandments on trial.

600
00:22:26,850 --> 00:22:27,790
The Supreme Court.

601
00:22:28,490 --> 00:22:31,670
Supreme Court ruled that to post the Ten

602
00:22:31,670 --> 00:22:35,930
Commandments now in the school system, in a

603
00:22:35,930 --> 00:22:39,810
classroom, anywhere in a classroom or so was

604
00:22:39,810 --> 00:22:41,190
unconstitutional.

605
00:22:42,330 --> 00:22:44,670
Not to mention the fact that it's posted

606
00:22:44,670 --> 00:22:45,410
in government.

607
00:22:46,430 --> 00:22:49,430
But even this opened up a door where

608
00:22:49,430 --> 00:22:52,490
the Ten Commandments was removed from or images

609
00:22:52,490 --> 00:22:54,850
of it were removed from public places beyond

610
00:22:54,850 --> 00:22:55,670
the school as well.

611
00:22:56,510 --> 00:22:58,670
It was struck down and listen to what

612
00:22:58,670 --> 00:22:59,390
the reason was.

613
00:22:59,950 --> 00:23:03,990
The reason was students may be induced to

614
00:23:03,990 --> 00:23:09,490
venerate and possibly even obey the Ten Commandments.

615
00:23:09,670 --> 00:23:10,270
God forbid.

616
00:23:11,430 --> 00:23:16,490
Students might actually be induced to obey the

617
00:23:16,490 --> 00:23:19,650
commandments that say don't steal, don't lie, don't

618
00:23:19,650 --> 00:23:21,650
covet, don't commit adultery, don't murder.

619
00:23:21,810 --> 00:23:22,310
God forbid.

620
00:23:22,930 --> 00:23:25,010
The students should be so affected by this.

621
00:23:26,270 --> 00:23:27,930
And so what have they replaced it with?

622
00:23:29,310 --> 00:23:33,630
So American civilization took a turn, crossed a

623
00:23:33,630 --> 00:23:37,230
critical juncture, began removing the Ten Commandments from

624
00:23:37,230 --> 00:23:41,130
its public square, public life, school system and

625
00:23:41,130 --> 00:23:42,250
thus from its future.

626
00:23:43,290 --> 00:23:46,870
And even that has produced the harvest we

627
00:23:46,870 --> 00:23:47,830
are reaping now.

628
00:23:48,110 --> 00:23:49,210
I mean that's all part of it.

629
00:23:49,970 --> 00:23:52,930
The warning, actually this was actually at Sinai

630
00:23:52,930 --> 00:23:55,510
we see a war against the Ten Commandments.

631
00:23:55,630 --> 00:23:58,810
Began at Sinai with a calf versus the

632
00:23:58,810 --> 00:24:00,490
tablets or the way of God.

633
00:24:01,230 --> 00:24:03,850
And it started here in America the case

634
00:24:03,850 --> 00:24:04,950
of Stone versus Graham.

635
00:24:05,090 --> 00:24:06,770
America was doing the same thing.

636
00:24:07,930 --> 00:24:09,510
And it's going to give us a prophetic

637
00:24:09,510 --> 00:24:10,770
revelation of what's happening.

638
00:24:11,870 --> 00:24:14,550
See Moses was delayed it says but we

639
00:24:14,550 --> 00:24:16,330
know not really but that's how it was

640
00:24:16,330 --> 00:24:16,830
to them.

641
00:24:17,130 --> 00:24:18,530
Therefore make us gods.

642
00:24:19,290 --> 00:24:21,610
So in the delay of the Lord's coming

643
00:24:21,610 --> 00:24:23,150
or what seems to be a delay but

644
00:24:23,150 --> 00:24:27,110
not really America has turned increasingly away.

645
00:24:27,810 --> 00:24:30,990
The obliteration of the Ten Commandments is always

646
00:24:30,990 --> 00:24:34,530
linked to a golden calf.

647
00:24:35,310 --> 00:24:36,170
Let me say that again.

648
00:24:36,590 --> 00:24:40,130
When the Ten Commandments are put away it

649
00:24:40,130 --> 00:24:42,910
is always linked to a golden calf.

650
00:24:43,030 --> 00:24:43,970
What does that mean for America?

651
00:24:44,750 --> 00:24:45,870
What does that mean to America?

652
00:24:47,130 --> 00:24:48,350
It's an amazing thing.

653
00:24:48,830 --> 00:24:51,550
The Constitution itself they said it's unconstitutional.

654
00:24:52,090 --> 00:24:55,810
The Constitutional I've reminded you says on it

655
00:24:55,810 --> 00:24:58,590
in the year of our Lord.

656
00:24:58,590 --> 00:25:01,390
That's even more than the Declaration of Independence

657
00:25:01,390 --> 00:25:03,470
because it's saying it's not only saying the

658
00:25:03,470 --> 00:25:05,370
Lord it's saying He's our Lord.

659
00:25:05,570 --> 00:25:05,790
Who?

660
00:25:06,290 --> 00:25:06,650
Buddha?

661
00:25:06,890 --> 00:25:07,150
No.

662
00:25:07,270 --> 00:25:07,670
Muhammad?

663
00:25:07,870 --> 00:25:08,230
No.

664
00:25:08,950 --> 00:25:09,770
Who is our Lord?

665
00:25:09,850 --> 00:25:12,570
It's saying Jesus, Yeshua is the Lord of

666
00:25:12,570 --> 00:25:12,930
America.

667
00:25:13,130 --> 00:25:14,390
That's what the Constitution says.

668
00:25:17,010 --> 00:25:21,210
But increasingly moving away notice what they said.

669
00:25:21,610 --> 00:25:25,730
They said this Moses not Moses not our

670
00:25:25,730 --> 00:25:28,150
Moses but this Moses.

671
00:25:28,510 --> 00:25:29,210
You know what that means?

672
00:25:29,310 --> 00:25:30,230
That's putting a distance.

673
00:25:30,230 --> 00:25:31,090
This Moses.

674
00:25:31,690 --> 00:25:32,690
That's what it's doing.

675
00:25:33,750 --> 00:25:36,270
That's exactly what is happening in America.

676
00:25:36,910 --> 00:25:39,930
It used to be I said the year

677
00:25:39,930 --> 00:25:40,830
of our Lord.

678
00:25:40,970 --> 00:25:41,750
Our Lord.

679
00:25:42,890 --> 00:25:44,990
Then it becomes the Lord.

680
00:25:45,330 --> 00:25:47,570
Then it becomes this Lord.

681
00:25:50,340 --> 00:25:52,440
It was A.D. You know what they're

682
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:52,780
trying to do?

683
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:54,420
They're trying to move it to C.E.

684
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,640
which means before the common era or C

685
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:58,700
.E. the common era.

686
00:25:58,820 --> 00:25:59,760
Common era of what?

687
00:25:59,860 --> 00:26:00,240
There's nothing.

688
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:01,040
What are you doing?

689
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:02,660
You're still dating it to his birth.

690
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:04,420
But trying to get him out of it.

691
00:26:05,660 --> 00:26:06,800
Just like you do at Christmas.

692
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,080
Try to get him out of his own

693
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:08,360
birth.

694
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,500
When Newsweek or Time Magazine speak of him

695
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:14,660
they do articles of him and they do

696
00:26:14,660 --> 00:26:15,680
it about twice a year.

697
00:26:15,820 --> 00:26:18,160
They actually increase their circulation when they do

698
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:18,580
it usually.

699
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,860
They write of him as not Jesus anymore

700
00:26:22,860 --> 00:26:24,820
but as this Jesus.

701
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:26,100
I'm not saying they use the word.

702
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:27,960
That's the way they talk about him.

703
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:29,360
This thing.

704
00:26:29,360 --> 00:26:31,740
When they talk about Christians it's not about

705
00:26:31,740 --> 00:26:32,780
this is what we are.

706
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:34,060
It's the Christians.

707
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:35,340
This group.

708
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,400
When you look at the New York Times

709
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:42,220
from 1940s I looked it over.

710
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,440
I found they had special pages where on

711
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,420
Sunday or Monday they would reproduce the sermons

712
00:26:48,420 --> 00:26:49,500
preached in the city.

713
00:26:50,260 --> 00:26:52,920
New York Times had a whole page of

714
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,040
summing up all the sermons that they could

715
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:55,800
in the city.

716
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:58,520
Can you imagine that today?

717
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,060
I mean if a newspaper did it today

718
00:27:01,060 --> 00:27:02,540
you'd say well that's a Christian newspaper.

719
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:03,760
But that was the New York Times.

720
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:05,940
The whole nation was like that.

721
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:08,560
Now it's this.

722
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,800
It used to simply be our faith, the

723
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:12,720
faith, faith.

724
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,940
Now it's this faith as opposed to other

725
00:27:15,940 --> 00:27:16,760
faiths.

726
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,020
Same way it's happening this principle, this Moses

727
00:27:20,020 --> 00:27:22,040
principle is happening.

728
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,460
It's happening to marriage.

729
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,020
It used to simply be marriage.

730
00:27:27,020 --> 00:27:30,780
Now it's heterosexual marriage.

731
00:27:30,980 --> 00:27:32,520
It's this kind of marriage.

732
00:27:32,620 --> 00:27:33,580
It's no longer marriage.

733
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,200
It is this particular kind of that.

734
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:38,340
You see what's happening?

735
00:27:39,940 --> 00:27:40,660
This Moses.

736
00:27:41,380 --> 00:27:42,300
This Jesus.

737
00:27:43,220 --> 00:27:44,200
Before it was unquestioned.

738
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,080
It was simply Moses, simply Jesus.

739
00:27:46,460 --> 00:27:48,140
This was the pillar.

740
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,020
You didn't never question that.

741
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,820
They're falling away from their identity.

742
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:54,000
So is America.

743
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:58,300
And what happens when those commandments or the

744
00:27:58,300 --> 00:27:59,460
way of God is pushed out?

745
00:28:00,540 --> 00:28:05,360
When you replace Moses replacing God's presence with

746
00:28:05,360 --> 00:28:06,060
an idol.

747
00:28:06,700 --> 00:28:10,640
When God goes out, when Moses goes out,

748
00:28:10,940 --> 00:28:13,880
when the way of God goes out, you

749
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,600
can be sure the golden calf comes in.

750
00:28:17,780 --> 00:28:21,220
As America rules out Messiah.

751
00:28:22,180 --> 00:28:25,460
Rules out God from its public life.

752
00:28:25,900 --> 00:28:26,880
Rules out His name.

753
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:28,700
It creates a vacuum.

754
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,860
A spiritual vacuum which must be filled in.

755
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:33,480
With what?

756
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:35,220
With idols.

757
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,300
Things you can touch.

758
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:38,400
Things you can see.

759
00:28:38,980 --> 00:28:39,740
It's no accident.

760
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:41,840
This principle is so crucial.

761
00:28:42,740 --> 00:28:43,520
No accident.

762
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,160
As America rules out God, it's no accident

763
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,300
that it is ruling in idolatry.

764
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:50,860
What does that mean?

765
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,400
It means the culture becomes increasingly carnal.

766
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,440
It becomes increasingly materialistic.

767
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:03,000
It becomes increasingly a sensory overload.

768
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,820
It's got to fill in that spiritual emptiness

769
00:29:05,820 --> 00:29:11,100
with bombardment of images, of sounds, of sensory,

770
00:29:11,380 --> 00:29:13,220
multiplicity of media.

771
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:15,300
More pervasive than ever.

772
00:29:15,300 --> 00:29:20,380
Houses, children are being bombarded by things never

773
00:29:20,380 --> 00:29:22,060
to that degree before.

774
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,320
Not just television, iPods, internet, computers, a million

775
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:26,760
things.

776
00:29:27,700 --> 00:29:29,300
And I'm not saying that they're wrong.

777
00:29:29,420 --> 00:29:31,680
But what I am saying is what is

778
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:35,120
happening is America's becoming addicted to the sensual.

779
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:37,540
That's exactly what this reveals.

780
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:43,260
Some people might hear, might be text messaging

781
00:29:43,260 --> 00:29:44,080
right now.

782
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:46,960
When you should be in communion with God.

783
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:54,440
Replacing time of prayer with a carnal, the

784
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,480
worship of money, greed.

785
00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,520
More time spent pursuing money, pursuing entertainment, than

786
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:01,560
going after God.

787
00:30:02,660 --> 00:30:04,040
You know how, you know, someone wrote to,

788
00:30:04,180 --> 00:30:05,720
you know how often you could have read

789
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:06,940
the Bible through and through.

790
00:30:07,020 --> 00:30:08,320
You know, some of you, if you stopped,

791
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,180
you cut down on the television, how much

792
00:30:10,180 --> 00:30:11,320
you could have done the Bible, how much

793
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:12,400
you could have been on the mountaintop with

794
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:12,680
God.

795
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,440
How much God could have blessed your life.

796
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,420
Israel forgot where it came from.

797
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:21,860
America has forgotten where it came from.

798
00:30:22,940 --> 00:30:25,140
The rejection of Moses, the rejection of God

799
00:30:25,140 --> 00:30:27,560
in America, the rejection of Jesus, Yeshua and

800
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:28,000
God.

801
00:30:28,900 --> 00:30:30,240
There's no neutrality.

802
00:30:31,220 --> 00:30:32,860
It's a, you can watch it in western

803
00:30:32,860 --> 00:30:33,220
civilization.

804
00:30:33,380 --> 00:30:36,700
When Russia turned away from God, it entered

805
00:30:36,700 --> 00:30:39,100
into a period of such darkness.

806
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:44,680
Marxism, Leninism, in Europe, fascism, never neutral.

807
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:46,280
It never will be.

808
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:48,300
It should be, but it's not, because there's

809
00:30:48,300 --> 00:30:49,980
a spiritual thing going on.

810
00:30:50,220 --> 00:30:51,740
So when you turn away from God, it

811
00:30:51,740 --> 00:30:54,600
always leads to something else, not nothing.

812
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,360
It always leads to some other form of

813
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,340
worship, even though people don't realize they're worshiping.

814
00:31:00,940 --> 00:31:02,280
And it leads to evil.

815
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,620
The rejection of Messiah's presence, out of everything,

816
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,480
out of Christmas, out of everything, out of

817
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:08,980
trying to take him out of his own

818
00:31:08,980 --> 00:31:15,240
thing, has brought in gods, gods of the

819
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:19,200
media, gods of greed, gods of sensuality, gods

820
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:25,780
of selfism, gods of addiction, of gain, of

821
00:31:25,780 --> 00:31:28,540
comfort, of status.

822
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,000
Sunday was once a day you had laws

823
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,240
throughout America that you did not buy or

824
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:36,100
sell on Sunday.

825
00:31:36,180 --> 00:31:38,180
Now I'm not saying that's the answer.

826
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:40,260
And Sunday's not the Sabbath.

827
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,020
It's the Lord's Day, but it said something.

828
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,100
They said, listen, we don't want to be

829
00:31:46,100 --> 00:31:48,720
interrupted, we don't want our worship to be

830
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,640
interrupted by anything like this, by buying and

831
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:51,880
selling.

832
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,820
And there's a reason why that's been undone,

833
00:31:54,900 --> 00:31:56,500
because America's saying, you know what, forget that,

834
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,040
the buying and selling is more important to

835
00:31:58,040 --> 00:31:58,280
us.

836
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,380
We're even believers, and I'm not saying you're

837
00:32:01,380 --> 00:32:02,580
in sin for buying or selling, I'm not

838
00:32:02,580 --> 00:32:05,840
saying that, but even believers are being continuously

839
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,980
torn by the world, where at one point

840
00:32:08,980 --> 00:32:10,000
the world wasn't even.

841
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:16,040
From Elohim, big E, Elohim, to Elohim, little

842
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,500
gods, the worship of one's own hand, an

843
00:32:19,500 --> 00:32:24,100
idol, a culture turned away from God's presence,

844
00:32:24,700 --> 00:32:27,520
increasingly to idols at the bottom, the base

845
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,960
things, the base of the mountain, base things,

846
00:32:30,060 --> 00:32:31,220
instead of the high things.

847
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:36,000
More and more away from the invisible to

848
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,600
what you see, the worship of celebrities, the

849
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:43,140
worship of self, the legal system saying, you

850
00:32:43,140 --> 00:32:44,400
know what, we're above God.

851
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:49,240
The Supreme Court saying, we're supreme, above God,

852
00:32:49,700 --> 00:32:52,620
we can strike down His laws, we are

853
00:32:52,620 --> 00:32:52,860
above.

854
00:32:53,700 --> 00:32:56,680
The state saying, we are above God, we

855
00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:00,240
can legislate God out of existence if we

856
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:00,580
deem.

857
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,700
We, the state saying, we have charged, or

858
00:33:04,700 --> 00:33:06,400
even the children, more and more a move,

859
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,360
even the United Nations as well, a move

860
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,220
for states and governments to say the children

861
00:33:11,220 --> 00:33:13,180
belong to us, not to the barons.

862
00:33:16,100 --> 00:33:18,120
The carnal greed.

863
00:33:19,580 --> 00:33:22,080
America has led the world now into an

864
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:23,320
economic collapse.

865
00:33:24,380 --> 00:33:25,800
What do you think was behind it?

866
00:33:26,700 --> 00:33:28,240
A God was behind it.

867
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:29,900
What God?

868
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:31,400
A God of greed.

869
00:33:32,620 --> 00:33:34,600
Wall Street, each one trying to make more

870
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,660
money, cutting corners, doing things that were questionable

871
00:33:37,660 --> 00:33:38,340
and unethical.

872
00:33:38,860 --> 00:33:41,860
This Ponzi scheme thing, billions and billions of

873
00:33:41,860 --> 00:33:42,280
dollars.

874
00:33:42,700 --> 00:33:44,980
You know, this guy had people give him

875
00:33:44,980 --> 00:33:46,180
billions of dollars.

876
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,360
But they also wanted as much money as

877
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:49,900
they could get.

878
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,280
I'm not saying that's always wrong, it depends

879
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:53,600
on what you're why and what you're doing,

880
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,940
but this was just a pursuit of money

881
00:33:55,940 --> 00:33:57,620
after money without morality, money.

882
00:33:58,180 --> 00:34:00,000
Turns out they just discovered the last few

883
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,580
days, for the last 15 years or so,

884
00:34:02,660 --> 00:34:04,000
he didn't even invest it in anything.

885
00:34:04,500 --> 00:34:05,800
He just took the money.

886
00:34:06,060 --> 00:34:07,739
What do you do with 50 billion dollars?

887
00:34:09,199 --> 00:34:09,980
Where is it?

888
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:10,719
They're not sure.

889
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:12,040
He misplaced it.

890
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:12,900
Maybe it's in the mattress.

891
00:34:14,159 --> 00:34:15,780
50 billion dollars!

892
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:17,380
You'd think he'd be content.

893
00:34:17,460 --> 00:34:19,239
That's more than nations make.

894
00:34:20,020 --> 00:34:21,719
You'd think he'd be content with one billion,

895
00:34:21,820 --> 00:34:23,620
that's enough, that's a thousand millions.

896
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,239
Called the Ponzi scheme.

897
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,580
Everything's based on something that, money keep coming

898
00:34:29,580 --> 00:34:31,040
in to fuel the light.

899
00:34:31,100 --> 00:34:33,100
Well, it almost seems like the whole financial

900
00:34:33,100 --> 00:34:34,639
system in the last few years was as

901
00:34:34,639 --> 00:34:35,500
a Ponzi scheme.

902
00:34:36,380 --> 00:34:37,860
Now is the day of reckoning.

903
00:34:38,820 --> 00:34:40,440
God said, you want to worship the almighty

904
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:40,860
dollar?

905
00:34:41,219 --> 00:34:42,739
We'll see how almighty it is.

906
00:34:46,650 --> 00:34:50,310
Entertainment, the work of man's hands becoming more

907
00:34:50,310 --> 00:34:53,110
infused with idolatry, with profanity.

908
00:34:53,830 --> 00:34:55,590
The glory of God is removed.

909
00:34:55,590 --> 00:34:58,790
And as the word of God is spurned,

910
00:34:59,230 --> 00:35:00,730
everything becomes relative.

911
00:35:01,410 --> 00:35:02,450
Right and wrong means nothing.

912
00:35:03,210 --> 00:35:05,550
Man makes up his own values, man changes,

913
00:35:05,710 --> 00:35:08,950
redefines anything he wants because man becomes the

914
00:35:08,950 --> 00:35:09,730
ultimate God.

915
00:35:13,430 --> 00:35:14,830
We're going to see more in the future

916
00:35:14,830 --> 00:35:15,170
days.

917
00:35:15,270 --> 00:35:17,390
We'll explain what's happening right now.

918
00:35:17,830 --> 00:35:19,370
We're watching because, but you've got to understand

919
00:35:19,370 --> 00:35:19,770
this.

920
00:35:20,470 --> 00:35:24,410
There's a direct connection between the removing of

921
00:35:24,410 --> 00:35:26,970
the Ten Commandments as a sign and the

922
00:35:26,970 --> 00:35:30,790
morphing, the transforming of America from a, quote,

923
00:35:30,910 --> 00:35:34,350
Christian civilization to a, quote, post-Christian pagan

924
00:35:34,350 --> 00:35:34,950
civilization.

925
00:35:35,830 --> 00:35:38,190
We're going to see that in every commandment

926
00:35:38,190 --> 00:35:41,830
its removal is linked to triggering a wave

927
00:35:41,830 --> 00:35:43,370
of changes in America.

928
00:35:44,170 --> 00:35:45,270
It's no accident.

929
00:35:45,970 --> 00:35:49,790
If those who founded this civilization on the

930
00:35:49,790 --> 00:35:51,710
word of God would come back today, they

931
00:35:51,710 --> 00:35:53,810
would be, they would be shocked.

932
00:35:53,810 --> 00:35:55,590
They would be nauseous.

933
00:35:55,910 --> 00:35:58,390
They just see the civilization that they put

934
00:35:58,390 --> 00:36:01,150
on the Ten Commandments, or God's way, the

935
00:36:01,150 --> 00:36:04,870
gospel, becoming increasingly a civilization of a golden

936
00:36:04,870 --> 00:36:06,590
calf, worshipping a golden calf.

937
00:36:07,270 --> 00:36:08,190
And it makes sense.

938
00:36:08,590 --> 00:36:11,210
If you had a house, a family, and

939
00:36:11,210 --> 00:36:12,990
they always had the Ten Commandments on their

940
00:36:12,990 --> 00:36:16,350
door, on their door, and one day they

941
00:36:16,350 --> 00:36:18,070
suddenly, they decide to take it down, you'd

942
00:36:18,070 --> 00:36:19,070
say, what's going on here?

943
00:36:19,770 --> 00:36:20,870
Why would they remove it?

944
00:36:21,390 --> 00:36:23,170
Why would they remove thou shalt not commit

945
00:36:23,170 --> 00:36:23,610
adultery?

946
00:36:23,910 --> 00:36:27,290
Well, maybe there's adultery going on.

947
00:36:27,290 --> 00:36:28,990
Because it doesn't line up anymore.

948
00:36:29,730 --> 00:36:31,410
Because it's morphing, it's changing.

949
00:36:32,050 --> 00:36:33,510
It doesn't line up with the standard.

950
00:36:34,170 --> 00:36:35,550
Because now it's going to commit adultery.

951
00:36:35,590 --> 00:36:36,770
That's what's happening in America.

952
00:36:37,150 --> 00:36:38,770
You see, if you're not lining up with

953
00:36:38,770 --> 00:36:40,330
the standard, instead of saying, you know, we've

954
00:36:40,330 --> 00:36:42,470
got to repent, instead, let's take down the

955
00:36:42,470 --> 00:36:42,750
standard.

956
00:36:44,070 --> 00:36:46,330
So it's removing the standard that convicts it,

957
00:36:46,370 --> 00:36:47,870
because why would it remove thou shalt not

958
00:36:47,870 --> 00:36:48,070
covet?

959
00:36:48,470 --> 00:36:50,050
Because it's going to start coveting more than

960
00:36:50,050 --> 00:36:50,510
ever now.

961
00:36:51,970 --> 00:36:54,550
Why remove thou shalt have no other gods?

962
00:36:54,610 --> 00:36:55,970
Because we're going to have other gods now.

963
00:36:57,290 --> 00:36:58,170
We're going to have idols.

964
00:36:58,270 --> 00:37:00,050
That is exactly what we're watching.

965
00:37:01,110 --> 00:37:03,790
The mountain, the deliverer, is spurned.

966
00:37:04,370 --> 00:37:06,170
And the camp at the bottom of the

967
00:37:06,170 --> 00:37:11,350
mountain dances and increasingly debases itself and goes

968
00:37:11,350 --> 00:37:12,410
lower and lower.

969
00:37:13,010 --> 00:37:15,810
It's exchanged the living God for an American

970
00:37:15,810 --> 00:37:16,310
idol.

971
00:37:16,310 --> 00:37:20,050
In future days, we're going to explore this

972
00:37:20,050 --> 00:37:21,550
more, but I want to bring this to

973
00:37:21,550 --> 00:37:21,930
you now.

974
00:37:22,010 --> 00:37:23,210
I want to bring this to us.

975
00:37:24,290 --> 00:37:25,150
Because we're here.

976
00:37:26,210 --> 00:37:28,250
And we want you to be prepared always

977
00:37:28,250 --> 00:37:29,370
in the last days.

978
00:37:29,490 --> 00:37:31,030
This is a dynamic that's happening.

979
00:37:32,370 --> 00:37:34,710
We shouldn't be shocked, because the Bible says

980
00:37:34,710 --> 00:37:34,870
it.

981
00:37:36,250 --> 00:37:37,590
But let's take it home.

982
00:37:38,410 --> 00:37:39,770
We are end-time believers.

983
00:37:40,970 --> 00:37:43,230
How can we live in such days and

984
00:37:43,230 --> 00:37:43,710
overcome?

985
00:37:44,990 --> 00:37:47,310
Days of, which is this called, the days

986
00:37:47,310 --> 00:37:50,490
of the golden calf, based on the rejection

987
00:37:50,490 --> 00:37:51,310
of God's Word.

988
00:37:51,390 --> 00:37:52,950
Well, this in the same way is going

989
00:37:52,950 --> 00:37:54,770
to give us a glimpse of how to

990
00:37:54,770 --> 00:37:55,070
overcome.

991
00:37:56,370 --> 00:37:58,830
When a culture turns away from His Word,

992
00:37:59,210 --> 00:38:00,090
it turns to idols.

993
00:38:00,850 --> 00:38:03,270
But those who stood against it back then,

994
00:38:03,350 --> 00:38:05,030
see, not everybody was running around with a

995
00:38:05,030 --> 00:38:05,430
golden calf.

996
00:38:05,550 --> 00:38:06,890
Not everybody was doing this.

997
00:38:07,970 --> 00:38:10,170
There were people who stayed, and they were

998
00:38:10,170 --> 00:38:10,710
faithful.

999
00:38:11,250 --> 00:38:13,050
They were faithful to God, and they were

1000
00:38:13,050 --> 00:38:15,730
faithful to wait until He returned, until Moses

1001
00:38:15,730 --> 00:38:16,590
came down that mountain.

1002
00:38:16,870 --> 00:38:18,190
They kept the faith.

1003
00:38:18,510 --> 00:38:19,510
They held on.

1004
00:38:20,130 --> 00:38:21,090
They had to say, you know what?

1005
00:38:21,130 --> 00:38:21,970
I'm not changing.

1006
00:38:22,130 --> 00:38:24,750
I'm not changing what is God's for what's

1007
00:38:24,750 --> 00:38:25,390
going around me.

1008
00:38:25,450 --> 00:38:26,910
I don't care if the majority does it.

1009
00:38:27,490 --> 00:38:28,850
I don't care if they make it a

1010
00:38:28,850 --> 00:38:29,950
law at the bottom of the mountain.

1011
00:38:30,030 --> 00:38:31,790
I don't care if they set up their

1012
00:38:31,790 --> 00:38:33,330
own government and say, now you've got to

1013
00:38:33,330 --> 00:38:33,890
worship the golden calf.

1014
00:38:33,990 --> 00:38:34,550
I don't care.

1015
00:38:34,690 --> 00:38:35,410
Do what you want.

1016
00:38:35,530 --> 00:38:36,890
I'm holding to what I know.

1017
00:38:38,010 --> 00:38:39,350
They kept the faith.

1018
00:38:39,350 --> 00:38:42,010
They kept the hope, and they kept the

1019
00:38:42,010 --> 00:38:42,290
Word.

1020
00:38:43,210 --> 00:38:45,870
They reminded themselves, Moses who went up is

1021
00:38:45,870 --> 00:38:46,690
coming down again.

1022
00:38:47,330 --> 00:38:48,870
And when he comes down, I want to

1023
00:38:48,870 --> 00:38:50,570
be faithful at his return.

1024
00:38:51,690 --> 00:38:53,810
You in the last days, you're going to

1025
00:38:53,810 --> 00:38:59,090
prevail by being, staying vigilant in God.

1026
00:38:59,970 --> 00:39:03,070
Reminding ourselves, our Messiah has gone up, just

1027
00:39:03,070 --> 00:39:05,170
as surely He will come down, and we

1028
00:39:05,170 --> 00:39:07,070
want to be faithful on that day.

1029
00:39:08,310 --> 00:39:11,250
The Master is away, the Master will return,

1030
00:39:11,670 --> 00:39:13,210
and you must keep His way.

1031
00:39:13,830 --> 00:39:15,950
If the rest of the world goes off,

1032
00:39:15,990 --> 00:39:16,690
it doesn't matter.

1033
00:39:17,470 --> 00:39:18,350
Don't question it.

1034
00:39:18,690 --> 00:39:20,650
Don't start questioning just because the majority, you

1035
00:39:20,650 --> 00:39:23,230
know, I'm seeing some believers, I mean, I

1036
00:39:23,230 --> 00:39:26,210
don't know what they are, but people who

1037
00:39:26,210 --> 00:39:27,910
all of a sudden, they're questioning, well, I

1038
00:39:27,910 --> 00:39:29,630
don't know, maybe it's not wrong.

1039
00:39:30,710 --> 00:39:31,870
What is that?

1040
00:39:32,870 --> 00:39:34,790
What would you do if you were living

1041
00:39:34,790 --> 00:39:35,350
under Hitler?

1042
00:39:35,430 --> 00:39:36,170
You'd do the same thing.

1043
00:39:36,250 --> 00:39:38,010
Well, the Nazis forget that.

1044
00:39:39,750 --> 00:39:40,630
Be strong.

1045
00:39:40,730 --> 00:39:43,090
Be made of something that's going to hold

1046
00:39:43,090 --> 00:39:43,490
up.

1047
00:39:44,010 --> 00:39:45,610
If you're going to stand, you've got to

1048
00:39:45,610 --> 00:39:47,170
hold on to what you know.

1049
00:39:47,710 --> 00:39:50,270
Hold on to the Word that God has

1050
00:39:50,270 --> 00:39:50,650
given you.

1051
00:39:50,810 --> 00:39:52,750
Hold on to the salvation that God has

1052
00:39:52,750 --> 00:39:53,270
put in your life.

1053
00:39:53,670 --> 00:39:55,430
Hold on to what you know of your

1054
00:39:55,430 --> 00:39:57,090
God who has been faithful to you.

1055
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,660
Hold fast and do not change the unchangeable

1056
00:40:02,660 --> 00:40:03,180
things.

1057
00:40:04,180 --> 00:40:06,360
If the world turns away from the Word,

1058
00:40:07,140 --> 00:40:09,460
you must all the more turn to the

1059
00:40:09,460 --> 00:40:11,600
Word and away from the world.

1060
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,380
If the Word says, all the more, we're

1061
00:40:14,380 --> 00:40:15,720
going to go farther away, you must do

1062
00:40:15,720 --> 00:40:17,480
all the more and say, Lord, help me

1063
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:19,540
to keep your Word.

1064
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:24,240
If the system of this world and culture

1065
00:40:24,240 --> 00:40:25,880
spurns these things, you're going to be those

1066
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:27,640
who say, Lord, I want to even more

1067
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,220
obey this Word than I have before.

1068
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:31,620
I want to walk it more than I

1069
00:40:31,620 --> 00:40:31,980
have before.

1070
00:40:32,060 --> 00:40:33,280
I want to meditate on it.

1071
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:34,720
I want to be strong, Lord.

1072
00:40:35,420 --> 00:40:37,240
Because I'm not getting it from this world.

1073
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:38,660
The world is doing the opposite.

1074
00:40:38,780 --> 00:40:39,860
I have to be stronger in you.

1075
00:40:41,500 --> 00:40:43,340
You've got the idol on one side, you've

1076
00:40:43,340 --> 00:40:44,300
got the Word on the other.

1077
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,020
The Word wars against the idol.

1078
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,080
The idol wars against the Word.

1079
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,100
You spend all your time watching the world,

1080
00:40:51,240 --> 00:40:53,720
watching television, getting involved in it, you're going

1081
00:40:53,720 --> 00:40:54,560
to be drawn from the Word.

1082
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:57,100
But if you spend time, you're in the

1083
00:40:57,100 --> 00:40:59,540
Word, you're living the Word, following the Word,

1084
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:01,080
you're not going to be bowing down to

1085
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:01,420
idols.

1086
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:03,620
Don't get used to it.

1087
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:05,780
I don't care if the golden calf is

1088
00:41:05,780 --> 00:41:05,980
there.

1089
00:41:06,100 --> 00:41:07,360
You know, after a while, the golden calf

1090
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:07,740
was there.

1091
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:09,160
You can get used to it.

1092
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:10,800
Don't get used to what is evil.

1093
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:13,920
Don't, don't, don't accept it just because it's

1094
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:14,260
there.

1095
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,060
Don't accept it just because everybody does.

1096
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:18,420
Don't condone it.

1097
00:41:18,660 --> 00:41:19,960
Don't become jaded by it.

1098
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,000
Don't become obsessed with it or focused on

1099
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:22,100
it.

1100
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,440
Keep your eyes lifted up to the mountain,

1101
00:41:24,780 --> 00:41:27,740
to the heavenlies, where our Redeemer is.

1102
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:30,140
You've got to be strong on earth.

1103
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,440
He gave a commission to us when He

1104
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:33,160
left this world.

1105
00:41:33,460 --> 00:41:34,280
He gave a commission.

1106
00:41:35,260 --> 00:41:36,300
And we need to do that.

1107
00:41:36,380 --> 00:41:37,820
It's not just stay strong.

1108
00:41:38,020 --> 00:41:39,260
It's do His will.

1109
00:41:39,580 --> 00:41:40,220
Move ahead.

1110
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:40,960
Advance.

1111
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,660
When you see these things, though, lift up

1112
00:41:44,660 --> 00:41:45,320
your eyes.

1113
00:41:45,460 --> 00:41:46,960
Your redemption draws near.

1114
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:50,600
Don't get discouraged by the world.

1115
00:41:51,580 --> 00:41:53,280
But stay unbowed.

1116
00:41:53,340 --> 00:41:55,620
You know, we are to bow to God,

1117
00:41:55,780 --> 00:41:57,620
but we are to be the most unbowed

1118
00:41:57,620 --> 00:41:59,100
people when it comes to any idol.

1119
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,220
That's, you know, what defines a believer?

1120
00:42:02,660 --> 00:42:03,420
You bow to God.

1121
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:05,580
But what defines a believer equally is you

1122
00:42:05,580 --> 00:42:07,660
do not bow down to Haman.

1123
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,200
You don't bow down to the idol in

1124
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:11,420
Babylon, like Daniel.

1125
00:42:11,780 --> 00:42:13,420
You will not bow down to that.

1126
00:42:13,540 --> 00:42:14,960
I will not follow this thing.

1127
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:17,240
Let everybody follow it.

1128
00:42:17,300 --> 00:42:17,940
I will not.

1129
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:19,700
Though the world, though none go with me,

1130
00:42:19,740 --> 00:42:20,540
still I will follow.

1131
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:23,620
Stay rooted, grounded.

1132
00:42:23,700 --> 00:42:25,320
The Bible says, I pray you be rooted,

1133
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:27,500
grounded with God.

1134
00:42:27,580 --> 00:42:28,620
I've got a higher authority.

1135
00:42:28,740 --> 00:42:30,760
They have that commercial, you know, some of

1136
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:33,360
you remember it, Hebrew National, have Uncle Sam

1137
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,120
with a hot dog saying, but we have

1138
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:36,520
to answer to a higher authority.

1139
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:38,720
Well, we have to answer to a higher

1140
00:42:38,720 --> 00:42:39,180
authority.

1141
00:42:39,540 --> 00:42:41,580
You are accountable to a higher authority.

1142
00:42:41,700 --> 00:42:42,360
That's a good thing.

1143
00:42:43,240 --> 00:42:45,000
Remember, the only thing that matters is you

1144
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:45,960
making Him smile.

1145
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:48,840
Your Redeemer is coming back.

1146
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:53,120
Woe to those, you know, when Moses came

1147
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:54,360
down that mountain.

1148
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:57,900
Woe to those who were found worshipping that

1149
00:42:57,900 --> 00:42:58,760
golden calf.

1150
00:43:00,020 --> 00:43:01,660
I mean, I don't even know how Aaron

1151
00:43:01,660 --> 00:43:02,280
got out of that.

1152
00:43:02,420 --> 00:43:02,940
I don't know.

1153
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:06,160
But woe to those who are worshipping that

1154
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:06,840
golden calf.

1155
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,100
Woe to those who are found that day

1156
00:43:10,100 --> 00:43:11,580
having been not faithful.

1157
00:43:12,740 --> 00:43:14,640
Woe to those who are found worshipping God,

1158
00:43:14,660 --> 00:43:15,820
as the Lord can come at any moment,

1159
00:43:15,900 --> 00:43:16,740
and you know, even if He doesn't come

1160
00:43:16,740 --> 00:43:18,140
at the moment, you think, you know, your

1161
00:43:18,140 --> 00:43:19,640
life can stop at any moment, and you

1162
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:21,340
want to be found faithful on that day.

1163
00:43:22,460 --> 00:43:25,400
But blessed are they who remain faithful.

1164
00:43:25,700 --> 00:43:28,260
Blessed are you who remains faithful to your

1165
00:43:28,260 --> 00:43:28,660
Master.

1166
00:43:29,780 --> 00:43:31,820
You, to be the good and faithful servant

1167
00:43:31,820 --> 00:43:34,220
that He says, well done, my good and

1168
00:43:34,220 --> 00:43:34,840
faithful servant.

1169
00:43:34,940 --> 00:43:35,620
You held out.

1170
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:37,500
You held strong when you didn't see.

1171
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:39,520
You trusted Me when you didn't see.

1172
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:41,440
And you did My will, and you would

1173
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:43,600
not bow to Baal, but you stood for

1174
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:43,900
Me.

1175
00:43:44,940 --> 00:43:47,920
Blessed are those, you who do His Word,

1176
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:50,500
who believe His Word, who keep His ways,

1177
00:43:50,740 --> 00:43:53,400
who serve His will, who bear His witness,

1178
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:54,960
who glorify His name.

1179
00:43:55,940 --> 00:43:58,620
For you will be found that you have

1180
00:43:58,620 --> 00:44:01,840
stood strong in the last days, in the

1181
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:03,280
days of the golden calf.

1182
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:07,280
Great will be your reward when your Master

1183
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:08,100
returns.

1184
00:44:08,300 --> 00:44:08,620
Amen.

1185
00:44:16,240 --> 00:44:18,200
Let's close our eyes for a moment.

1186
00:44:18,380 --> 00:44:19,220
Let's just stay where we are.

1187
00:44:19,300 --> 00:44:20,780
Let's just close our eyes for a moment.

1188
00:44:21,660 --> 00:44:23,000
Father, we praise You.

1189
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:23,960
Bless You.

1190
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:25,880
I ask You, seal this Word right now

1191
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:26,760
on our hearts.

1192
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:28,460
Seal this Word.

1193
00:44:29,580 --> 00:44:32,340
Father, we ask that You would, Lord, make

1194
00:44:32,340 --> 00:44:32,800
us strong.

1195
00:44:32,900 --> 00:44:34,380
You know, Lord, what we are dealing with.

1196
00:44:34,420 --> 00:44:35,780
This Word is a Word for the end

1197
00:44:35,780 --> 00:44:36,340
-time believer.

1198
00:44:37,100 --> 00:44:39,600
And Lord, You know what we are dealing

1199
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:39,740
with.

1200
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:40,680
You know each one here.

1201
00:44:41,180 --> 00:44:42,600
You know the temptations.

1202
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:47,380
You know, Lord, what we each are confronted

1203
00:44:47,380 --> 00:44:47,820
with.

1204
00:44:49,240 --> 00:44:53,160
You know, Lord, what we are, Lord, weakened

1205
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:54,520
and where we're strong.

1206
00:44:55,220 --> 00:44:57,340
And Lord, we ask right now that You

1207
00:44:57,340 --> 00:44:58,220
would make us stronger.

1208
00:44:58,920 --> 00:44:59,860
We want to be stronger.

1209
00:45:00,540 --> 00:45:02,480
Lord, we do not want to succumb to

1210
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:03,460
the ways of the world.

1211
00:45:04,140 --> 00:45:05,940
We do not want to dance to a

1212
00:45:05,940 --> 00:45:07,000
tune that is not You.

1213
00:45:07,380 --> 00:45:09,180
We do not want to bow to an

1214
00:45:09,180 --> 00:45:09,960
idol of gold.

1215
00:45:10,780 --> 00:45:12,360
We want to be strong in You all

1216
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:12,760
the more.

1217
00:45:12,900 --> 00:45:13,760
More than before.

1218
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:15,360
More than before.

1219
00:45:17,140 --> 00:45:19,360
Lord, we want to be faithful.

1220
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:21,620
Lord, make us strong.

1221
00:45:22,720 --> 00:45:27,100
And Lord, this day, we commit, Lord, to

1222
00:45:27,100 --> 00:45:30,780
be, Lord, more rooted and grounded in You.

1223
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:35,780
Father, help us, each one of us, to

1224
00:45:35,780 --> 00:45:39,600
be more faithful and true than we have

1225
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:39,900
been.

1226
00:45:39,980 --> 00:45:41,920
And whatever, there's something in our life we've

1227
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:42,640
been flirting with.

1228
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:44,140
Something we've given ground to.

1229
00:45:44,660 --> 00:45:46,940
Lord, we rebuke it.

1230
00:45:46,940 --> 00:45:48,780
We cast it out.

1231
00:45:48,940 --> 00:45:50,420
We rebuke even the hint of it.

1232
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:52,200
Even the trace of it.

1233
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:54,440
Lord, anything.

1234
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:58,980
Lord, whatever that is, an indulgence, says even

1235
00:45:58,980 --> 00:46:01,000
a trace of sexual immorality.

1236
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:02,680
We rebuke it.

1237
00:46:04,140 --> 00:46:06,500
Lord, of carnality, we rebuke it.

1238
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,400
Of a habit that wastes our time, that

1239
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:14,800
drains us instead of drawing us closer to

1240
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:15,000
You.

1241
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:16,580
Lord, we want to be up the mountain.

1242
00:46:16,700 --> 00:46:17,960
We want to be on the mountain.

1243
00:46:18,980 --> 00:46:22,440
We want to be unpolluted.

1244
00:46:23,340 --> 00:46:24,980
We want to be with You on the

1245
00:46:24,980 --> 00:46:25,400
top.

1246
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:28,680
Lord, each of us, when we go home,

1247
00:46:28,740 --> 00:46:29,840
we want to be on the mountain.

1248
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:32,480
When we're here in worshipping, we want to

1249
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:34,660
do so with all our hearts on the

1250
00:46:34,660 --> 00:46:34,920
mountain.

1251
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:37,340
We want to be filled up with Your

1252
00:46:37,340 --> 00:46:41,200
Word and Your Spirit so that we do

1253
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:42,980
not seek to be filled by anything of

1254
00:46:42,980 --> 00:46:43,460
this earth.

1255
00:46:44,460 --> 00:46:46,420
Lord, make us strong that we can make

1256
00:46:46,420 --> 00:46:46,960
a difference.

1257
00:46:47,700 --> 00:46:49,540
That we can make a difference in this

1258
00:46:49,540 --> 00:46:49,860
day.

1259
00:46:51,220 --> 00:46:53,160
And we praise You and bless You and

1260
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:54,460
love You and lift You up.

1261
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:58,540
Ah, Lord, we just give You glory.

1262
00:47:00,220 --> 00:47:02,780
Lord, have Your way with us, and whatever

1263
00:47:02,780 --> 00:47:04,520
needs to be, make it so.

1264
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:07,700
While our eyes are closed.

1265
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:12,120
If you don't know right now 100%

1266
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:14,000
where you're spending eternity, you need to know.

1267
00:47:14,700 --> 00:47:18,460
If you're not sure, the Bible says you

1268
00:47:18,460 --> 00:47:20,260
must be born again.

1269
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:23,360
If you're not sure you are, you need

1270
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:23,800
to be.

1271
00:47:25,260 --> 00:47:26,820
There's only one way of salvation.

1272
00:47:26,940 --> 00:47:28,380
It doesn't matter if you're Catholic, Protestant, Jewish,

1273
00:47:28,460 --> 00:47:29,020
whatever you are.

1274
00:47:29,060 --> 00:47:30,360
The only thing that matters is that you're

1275
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:30,800
saved.

1276
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:33,000
And the only way to be saved, Jesus

1277
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,520
Himself said, you must be born again or

1278
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:36,020
you're not.

1279
00:47:36,900 --> 00:47:38,500
There's only two roads you can go on.

1280
00:47:38,500 --> 00:47:40,840
One road leads to eternal life.

1281
00:47:42,100 --> 00:47:44,680
The other road leads to eternal death, destruction,

1282
00:47:44,940 --> 00:47:45,680
judgment forever.

1283
00:47:45,860 --> 00:47:46,660
That's what hell is.

1284
00:47:46,780 --> 00:47:48,840
That's separation from God forever.

1285
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:50,260
That's the judgment of sin.

1286
00:47:51,860 --> 00:47:53,360
And if you're not born again, that's the

1287
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:54,000
road you're on.

1288
00:47:54,100 --> 00:47:55,000
But God loves you.

1289
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:57,400
His will is to give everything.

1290
00:47:57,540 --> 00:47:59,540
He gave everything for you that you'd be

1291
00:47:59,540 --> 00:48:00,820
saved from that.

1292
00:48:00,900 --> 00:48:02,540
But the only way to be saved is

1293
00:48:02,540 --> 00:48:03,100
that door.

1294
00:48:03,460 --> 00:48:06,600
You must be born again in His holy

1295
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:09,740
presence, His love that's reaching down to you

1296
00:48:09,740 --> 00:48:10,320
right now.

1297
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:12,600
If you're not 100% sure that right

1298
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:14,140
now you're born again, if you're not 100

1299
00:48:14,140 --> 00:48:16,120
% sure, this is for your sake, for

1300
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:18,420
your life, for your eternity.

1301
00:48:18,860 --> 00:48:20,760
You got a heartbeat that can stop tomorrow,

1302
00:48:21,580 --> 00:48:23,080
that can stop this moment.

1303
00:48:25,900 --> 00:48:27,700
And once it stops, that's eternity.

1304
00:48:28,860 --> 00:48:32,600
So with our eyes closed, if you're not

1305
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:34,380
sure right now, if you're right with God,

1306
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:35,340
if you're not sure you're going to be

1307
00:48:35,340 --> 00:48:37,780
with Him forever, a thousand years from now,

1308
00:48:37,820 --> 00:48:38,460
you're going to be somewhere.

1309
00:48:38,580 --> 00:48:41,440
If you're not sure it's with Him, pray

1310
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:42,420
with me right now.

1311
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:44,180
If you're not sure you're right with God,

1312
00:48:44,220 --> 00:48:46,960
maybe you've prayed before.

1313
00:48:47,140 --> 00:48:48,540
Maybe you've known God, but you've been out

1314
00:48:48,540 --> 00:48:48,900
of His will.

1315
00:48:49,260 --> 00:48:52,620
You're in danger of succumbing to what's on

1316
00:48:52,620 --> 00:48:53,200
the bottom.

1317
00:48:54,340 --> 00:48:55,600
And God is calling you up.

1318
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:57,820
Or maybe God is just calling you to

1319
00:48:57,820 --> 00:48:58,900
a deeper thing now.

1320
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:01,380
You love God, but He's calling you to

1321
00:49:01,380 --> 00:49:03,520
be stronger now, to a higher level, higher

1322
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:03,780
plane.

1323
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:06,360
If that's any of you, whoever you are,

1324
00:49:06,460 --> 00:49:08,340
whichever one it is, pray with me now.

1325
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:11,720
The Bible says, if you confess with your

1326
00:49:11,720 --> 00:49:13,280
mouth, believe in your heart, you shall be

1327
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:13,640
saved.

1328
00:49:13,900 --> 00:49:17,040
So whatever, just however you need to pray,

1329
00:49:17,180 --> 00:49:18,220
pray with me right now.

1330
00:49:19,180 --> 00:49:19,920
God is calling you.

1331
00:49:19,980 --> 00:49:22,900
Just repeat the words in a whisper, mean

1332
00:49:22,900 --> 00:49:24,140
it in your heart right now.

1333
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:26,460
Say, Yes, Lord.

1334
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:28,540
You're saying, Yes, Lord.

1335
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:30,260
Have your way in my life, and I'm

1336
00:49:30,260 --> 00:49:30,900
following you.

1337
00:49:31,660 --> 00:49:32,760
So let's pray together.

1338
00:49:32,860 --> 00:49:36,420
Just repeat, just with our eyes closed, just

1339
00:49:36,420 --> 00:49:38,880
whisper in a whisper, just say the words

1340
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:40,980
and repeat after me.

1341
00:49:44,460 --> 00:49:45,320
Mean it in your heart.

1342
00:49:45,460 --> 00:49:46,920
The Bible says, confess with your mouth, believe

1343
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:47,520
in your heart.

1344
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:48,840
So let's pray together.

1345
00:49:50,540 --> 00:49:52,460
God is calling you, and He will not

1346
00:49:52,460 --> 00:49:55,500
reject you if you come, but don't let

1347
00:49:55,500 --> 00:49:58,140
salvation pass you by, or don't let God's

1348
00:49:58,140 --> 00:50:00,220
calling you to a higher ground pass you

1349
00:50:00,220 --> 00:50:00,460
by.

1350
00:50:00,460 --> 00:50:02,240
Let's pray right now.

1351
00:50:02,240 --> 00:50:04,140
Just repeat after me in a whisper.

1352
00:50:05,700 --> 00:50:08,440
Lord God, I come to you now.

1353
00:50:09,140 --> 00:50:10,540
I open my heart.

1354
00:50:11,860 --> 00:50:13,320
I want to be strong.

1355
00:50:14,180 --> 00:50:16,000
I want to be holy.

1356
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:19,000
I want to be the person you made

1357
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:19,580
me to be.

1358
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:22,860
And I am willing to follow you with

1359
00:50:22,860 --> 00:50:23,500
all my heart.

1360
00:50:24,300 --> 00:50:26,220
I turn away from the past.

1361
00:50:26,740 --> 00:50:30,420
I put away everything of darkness.

1362
00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:36,600
Lord, I thank you for loving me, giving

1363
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:39,660
your life for me, conquering death so I

1364
00:50:39,660 --> 00:50:40,480
could be saved.

1365
00:50:42,380 --> 00:50:44,620
And I truly make you the Lord of

1366
00:50:44,620 --> 00:50:48,300
every part of my life, my heart.

1367
00:50:49,420 --> 00:50:51,400
I will follow you from this moment on,

1368
00:50:51,540 --> 00:50:53,760
truly with all my heart, as your disciple.

1369
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:56,820
Lead me on from this moment.

1370
00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:01,640
Wash me, cleanse me, forgive me, fill me

1371
00:51:02,620 --> 00:51:04,480
with your spirit and your grace.

1372
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:05,920
I praise you.

1373
00:51:07,220 --> 00:51:11,340
I receive, Lord, of you into my heart.

1374
00:51:12,020 --> 00:51:15,140
And thank you, Lord, that you receive me.

1375
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:17,860
And I can say, you are my God.

1376
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:18,860
I'm yours.

1377
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:20,040
You are mine.

1378
00:51:20,580 --> 00:51:22,940
You are my Lord, and I'm your disciple.

1379
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:26,240
I make you Lord of every part of

1380
00:51:26,240 --> 00:51:26,920
my life.

1381
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:28,320
Thank you, Lord.

1382
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:31,680
By your word, your promise, I can say,

1383
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:35,260
I am born again.

1384
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:36,840
I am saved.

1385
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:37,820
I'm received.

1386
00:51:37,940 --> 00:51:38,580
I'm forgiven.

1387
00:51:39,260 --> 00:51:42,160
I have eternal life, and I'll be with

1388
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:43,420
you always.

1389
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:48,160
Lead me to victory, a life and walk

1390
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:51,740
of victory that I might be faithful.

1391
00:51:51,740 --> 00:51:56,120
And you might say, well done, my good

1392
00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:57,260
and faithful servant.

1393
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:00,580
I thank you, Lord, in the name above

1394
00:52:00,580 --> 00:52:04,260
every name, the name of my Redeemer, Jesus.

1395
00:52:05,580 --> 00:52:06,980
In his name I pray.

1396
00:52:07,700 --> 00:52:09,680
Lead me on as I follow you from

1397
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:12,460
this moment as your disciple in all the

1398
00:52:12,460 --> 00:52:13,300
days of my life.

1399
00:52:13,860 --> 00:52:15,580
In his holy name I pray.

1400
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:20,080
And I say, amen and amen.

1401
00:52:22,940 --> 00:52:24,680
You've been listening to the From the Pulpit

1402
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:25,920
in Classic Sermons series.

1403
00:52:26,540 --> 00:52:28,720

1405
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:32,940
