So with that, let's turn to the Lord in prayer.
Please, in his name, amen.
Oh, if you wanna take your Bibles
and turn to Psalm number 150.
Psalm number 150, praise ye the Lord.
Praise the Lord, thank you, as mighty acts to his name.
Ready for the offering?
Welcome back, everybody.
Go ahead and take your Bibles
and turn to 2 Chronicles 18.
2 Chronicles 18 will be our text this evening.
And as always, here at our church,
we read the entire chapter before the preaching.
2 Chronicles 18, the Bible reads,
now Jehoshaphat, at riches and honor and abundance,
and joined a firmity with Ahab.
And after certain years, he went down to Ahab, to Samaria.
And Ahab killed sheep and oxen for him in abundance,
and for the people that he had with him,
and persuaded him to go up with him to Ramoth-Gilead.
And Ahab, king of Israel, said unto Jehoshaphat,
king of Judah, wilt thou go with me to Ramoth-Gilead?
And he answered him, I am as thou art,
and my people as thy people.
And we will be with thee in the war.
And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel,
inquire, I pray thee, at the word of the Lord today.
Therefore the king of Israel gathered together
of the prophets four hundred men, and said unto them,
shall we go to Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear?
And they said, go up, for God will deliver it
into thy king's hand.
But Jehoshaphat said, is there not here
a prophet of the Lord besides that we might inquire of him?
And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat,
there is yet one man by whom we may inquire of the Lord.
But I hate him, for he never prophesied good unto me,
but always evil.
The same is Micaiah, the son of Imla.
And Jehoshaphat said, let not the king say so.
And the king of Israel called for one of his officers
and said, fetch quickly Micaiah, the son of Imla.
And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, king of Judah,
sat either of them on his throne, clothed in their robes.
And they sat in a void place at the entering
inn of the gate of Samaria.
And all the prophets prophesied before them.
And Zedekiah, the son of Shianneah,
had made him horns of iron and said, thus saith the Lord,
with these thou shalt push Syria until they be consumed.
And all the prophets prophesied so, saying,
go up to Ramoth-Gilead and prosper,
for the Lord shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spake to him,
saying, behold the words of the prophets.
Declare good to the king with one assent.
Let thy word, therefore, I pray thee, be like one of theirs,
and speak thou good.
And Micaiah said, as the Lord liveth,
even what my God saith will I speak.
And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him,
Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-Gilead to battle,
or shall I forbear?
And he said, go ye up and prosper,
and they shall be delivered into your hand.
And the king said to him, how many times shall I
adjure thee that thou say nothing but the truth to me
in the name of the Lord?
Then he said, I did see all Israel
scattered upon the mountains as sheep that have no shepherd.
And the Lord said, these have no master.
Let them return, therefore, every man
to his house in peace.
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat,
did I not tell thee that he would not
prophesy good unto me but evil?
Again he said, therefore, hear the word of the Lord.
I saw the Lord sitting upon his throne
and all the hosts of heaven standing on his right hand
and on his left.
And the Lord said, who shall entice Ahab king of Israel
that he may go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead?
And one spake, saying after this manner,
and another saying after that manner.
Then there came out a spirit and stood before the Lord
and said, I will entice him.
And the Lord said unto him, wherewith?
And he said, I will go out and be a lying spirit
in the mouth of all his prophets.
And the Lord said, thou shalt entice him,
and thou shalt also prevail.
Go out and do even so.
Now therefore, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit
in the mouth of these thy prophets,
and the Lord hath spoken evil against thee.
Then Zedekiah, the son of Chi-ne-Anna,
came near and smote Micaiah upon the cheek and said,
which way went the spirit of the Lord from me
to speak unto thee?
And Micaiah said, behold, thou shalt see on that day
when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.
Then the king of Israel said, take ye Micaiah
and carry him back to Ammon, the governor of the city,
and to Joash the king's son, and say, thus saith the king,
put this fellow in the prison and feed him
with bread of affliction and with the water of affliction
until I return in peace.
And Micaiah said, if thou certainly return in peace,
then hath not the Lord spoken by me.
And he said, hearken, all ye people.
So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah,
went up to Ramoth-Gilead.
And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat,
I will disguise myself and will go to the battle.
But put thou on thy robes.
So the king of Israel disguised himself,
and they went to the battle.
Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains
of the chariots that were with him, saying,
Fight ye not with small or great,
save only with the king of Israel.
And it came to pass,
when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat,
that they said, it is the king of Israel.
Therefore they compassed him about him to fight,
but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the Lord helped him,
and God moved them to depart from him.
For it came to pass, that when the captains
of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel,
they turned back again from pursuing him.
And a certain man drew a bow at a venture,
and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness.
Therefore he said to his chariot-men,
turn thine hand, that thou mayest carry me out of the host.
For I am wounded, and the battle increased that day.
Albeit the king of Israel stayed himself up in his chariot
against the Syrians until the evening.
And about the time of the sun going down, he died.
Brother Jason, could you pray for the preaching?
- Heavenly Father, I thank you for this day of work.
I thank you for everything you've done for us.
Lord, I pray that you please open our hearts
for the preaching of your word.
And I hope all brothers hear these preachings,
and that you listen to them.
- Amen.
Well, thank you so much for coming out.
The dial sermon is, who is our greatest ally?
Who is our greatest ally?
And today, I'm not talking so much personally.
I'm talking about as a nation.
And I hope that most of you view yourself
as a Christian before an American,
but I know most people think
they're an American before a Christian.
But when I ask, who's our greatest ally,
there's an answer that I get all the time
that doesn't make any sense at all.
And here's the thing is, well, worldly or spiritually,
but here, I just had you read 2 Chronicles 18,
where the king of Judah and the king of Israel
are going to battle.
They're going to fight other locals, Syrians,
that live in that area, that world.
And here's the thing.
A lot of people think any time Israel or Judah,
throughout history, fights, God must be for them.
Well, we have both Israel and Jews, and they're wrong.
So let's not say this is a new thing,
but I'm going to just tell you this.
Here's the interesting thing.
Tonight, I just want to focus on what is an ally.
Because here's the thing is, if we just go through
and we just lie ourselves and just fight for whatever reason,
we just say it's for God.
Well, sometimes we need to actually ask,
what does God want?
And then 2 Corinthians 6, it actually says in verse 14,
"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers,
for what fellowship has righteous with unrighteous,
and what communion have light with darkness?"
And isn't it interesting that in the Old Testament,
you already have the two kings actually being emphasized
of Judah and Israel because they are separate.
Israel hasn't existed 600 years before Christ came.
So it's very interested in 50, 60, 70 years ago
when we made a new one.
But I will tell you this, just because you name a country,
the country of Israel, that doesn't make it godly.
Actually in the Old Testament, Israel is the more wicked.
It is wicked, just because they want to go to battle
for whatever reason, that does not mean God is for them.
But here's the thing is, be not unequally yoked.
The king of Judah, which God actually protects,
makes a mistake in going with an evil king.
He unequally yokes himself, and his army falls.
He lives through this, but his army falls.
God does not want us just to ally anyone.
So tonight, I just want to ask, who is our greatest ally?
Who is our greatest ally?
And here's the first thing to ask.
It says, don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers.
And if you don't know what that means,
well, in 2 John 1, you go ahead and turn to 1 John 4.
In 2 John 1, in verse 7, it says,
for many deceivers are entered in the world,
who confesseth not Jesus Christ is come in the flesh.
This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
If you wanna know who is an unbeliever and unworthy
of being an ally to a Christian nation,
it is anyone who denies Christ.
So that doesn't matter if it's,
well, we think he's a good teacher,
but Joseph Smith's our ally,
Mormons ain't allies to Christians.
Well, we actually think he's probably a God,
just one of many.
Sorry, Hindus, you're not worthy of being an ally
to a Christian nation.
Oh, well, you can go on.
Atheists, they don't claim Christ is there.
So we can't have secular humanist nations
as allies to Christians.
So God says, don't be unequally yoked with them.
If you turn to 1 John 4 and verse 3, it says,
"And every spirit that confesseth not Jesus Christ
is come into the flesh is not of God.
This is the spirit of antichrist,
whereof ye have heard it and should come.
And even now already is in the world."
So in 1 John and 2 John it literally says,
"If they do not claim Christ has come in the flesh already,
the Messiah hath come, the Christ has come."
If you don't remember, Christ is Messiah.
If anyone's waiting for another Messiah,
that is of antichrist spirit, that is of the devil,
and that is spitting in the face of God.
Because if you do not have the Son, you do not have the Father.
So you are, do not have.
And you're like, "What's going on?"
Well, here's the thing is,
so tonight I want to focus on,
well, let's just focus on the last 100 years of America.
And let's just ask, "Who's our greatest ally?"
Because churches will get up.
And let me tell you, this could be a breach
pretty much any time of the year,
and somewhere in the news, people are going to get up
and be like, "We gotta defend our greatest ally."
Well, who is our greatest ally?
And I'll go through worldly sense,
and then we'll go to religious sense.
So give me a minute,
because we'll talk a little bit about worldly things,
but I will bring it back to the Bible.
But here's the thing is, in Proverbs 27, verse 10,
it says, "Thy own friend and thy father's friend,
forsake not, neither go into thy brother's house
in the day of calamity,
for it is better is a neighbor
that is near than a brother far off."
Turn to 1 John 3, 17.
But I'll tell you this,
one reason why I wanna tell you this is, hey,
whether your political view is more closer
to the foundation of this country,
we said we will have no allies,
so we don't get pulled into pointless wars, that's great.
I'm probably more for that.
I think having military alliances when we aren't at war
is kind of evil.
But I'll tell you this, whatever your view is,
all I'm gonna be talking about is factually.
Factually, who is our ally, historically?
And it even says this, hey, if we have allies,
shouldn't we remember them?
If we've actually gone through them,
shouldn't we count them?
Shouldn't we even understand who it is?
And if you turn to 1 John 3,
1 John 3, go to verse 16, it says,
"Hereby perceive we the love of God,
"because he has laid down his life for us,
"as we ought to lay down our lives for our brethren.
"But whosoever hath the world's good,
"and seest his brother have need,
"and shut up his bowels and compassion for him,
"how delivereth the love of God in him?"
Why I want you to read this is,
this is how you determine who your ally is.
In Bible it says in other places,
there is no greater love
than to lay down your life for your friend.
Now this is a personal note,
but let me tell you this,
in nations, who your ally is,
who's gonna die with you?
And I'm not here to justify war and all this,
but it's a simple question, allies die for each other.
That's just kind of what the definition of it is.
So I just wanna go through, over the last hundred years,
I mean, who are our allies?
Because the first question is,
how many troops did we provide to each other?
Well, if you're gonna go by that,
it's gonna be UK, Australia, South Korea.
Half of you wouldn't even know we're probably the,
like we are the strongest ally of South Korea.
Like we plan to go into nuclear war for South Korea,
if you do not know,
and most of you probably don't know this,
we have more troops stationed in South Korea
because we've been in a almost, what is it now,
80 year war in Korea.
We have never had peace, we're at a ceasefire.
But we have guns and missiles and nukes pointed at them,
and we have them pointed at us in the Korean peninsula.
We have trained and fought for decades,
and we have people die on the border
because sniper fire still comes across for years and years.
Let me tell you, every single war since the Korean War,
which is Vietnam, Philippines,
most of you don't know we fight wars there,
Philippines, into Iraq, into all around the world,
Afghanistan, South Korea has been there
and they have had people die for us.
Most of you don't even know where that is.
But I'm gonna tell you, they're one of our best allies,
not by number England by far,
in support and training Australia.
Well, we were like, well, not all of us did,
but how about the countries
that let us put our bases in them?
Hey, let's move our troops and train together.
I mean, you've got South Korea, Turkey, Saudi Arabia,
Germany, Belgium, Italy, Qatar, Kuwait,
Emirates, Japan, and Cambodia.
And once again, I won't ask you, many of you,
to point on the map where that is,
but these are the people that actually say,
we will have you here as a symbol that we are allied,
and if it goes to, we will die together.
How about countries that share threats?
If you wanna say, and hey,
I'm not agreeing with our foreign policy,
but it's gonna be EU, India, Japan.
Why?
These are the biggest people threatened by Russia and China,
who we've said is our greatest threat.
Well, another way you can look at this is political.
We kind of share more similarities
with UK, Canada, Australia, and Japan.
Culturally be about the same,
except South Korea and the Netherlands.
But here's the thing is, what about money?
'Cause let's face it,
if you're American first before you're a Christian,
your God is the almighty dollar.
That's what Americans worship.
Well, then you'd care about your trade partners.
That would be a very logical way.
If you are money-oriented, your greatest allies
are in this order.
Mexico, which money what?
Yeah, that border is to keep people out, not the dollar.
We trade more with Mexico than anyone else,
Canada than China, China.
'Cause let me tell you this,
if people think we're about to go to war in China,
you're insane, because we can't.
And they can't go to war with us currently,
because both of us would collapse.
We are so intertwined that I would say
we're more of an ally to China than anything else,
because we can't have their economy crash
and they can't have ours to crash currently.
In a decade, eventually China will not need us.
But right now, money-wise, China is way more close
of an ally than England, Korea, Japan, all-- we are--
we are reliant on China.
If you did not know, when you buy your American flags
for July 4th, where is it made?
China, all right?
That's where America's made currently.
So that would be a way that you could justify
that they're an ally.
We rely upon them.
Then religiously, well, what countries would be--
well, it'd be really just North European countries,
Scandinavian kind of, like a general American similarities,
or Sub-Saharan Africa.
There's no other countries in the world
that we could religiously ally with,
because that's where Protestants in the form--
and I know about this, we don't claim that-- but that's
the idea, like the few Protestant nations
left in the world, that's it.
So many of you are like, well, what are we talking about?
Why are we talking about this on a Sunday evening?
Well, as you know, I just went through a whole bunch of lists.
I mean, many different countries mean many different categories,
but there's one nation that doesn't come up
on any of these.
That would be the state of Israel.
The state of Israel, it cannot be like, you're like,
it's our greatest ally.
Even if you think it's an ally, how do you call it our greatest?
Like, any factual, realistic way,
any worldly or spiritual way, if there's nothing else,
I just want to kind of bring up that we don't have really
any value in this alliance.
It's a one-way relationship,
and we are not the top dog in it, all right?
But many pastors will get up and be like,
"Our greatest ally, this is who we are.
We've got to defend Israel."
And my question would be,
spiritually, religiously, economically, why?
Why?
What purpose or value does it add to us?
And here's the thing, today I'm going to avoid
conspiracies about the Jews and all that.
I'm talking about the nation of Israel.
If you don't think that exists,
you're like, "Oh, you mentioned it, you're anti-Semitic."
You have, you're so blind.
Because let me tell you this,
it's a nation that exists that has public policy
that affects the world.
Can we not talk about it?
So I'm going to stay away from anything
that you think is shadow government and all this.
Let's just talk about fall things.
But I'm going to tell you that it seems crazy to me
that people would defend, they will throw their church.
They'll say, "We've got to protect Israel.
We've got to get into AIPAC and we've got to support it
as much as possible."
And you're like, "Well, you're mixing politics and all this."
Israel is a political entity.
That is what it exists in the world.
It has nothing to do with the biblical Israel.
But I will tell you this, let's just talk about,
'cause if it's our greatest ally,
it should be obvious in some way, shape or form.
So here's the thing.
I went through many of the ways that a military could be,
and let's just go through them again.
Did Israel provide troops?
They've been around, theoretically, your greatest ally.
Let me tell you one thing America doesn't lack is war.
For a reason, we love just going into war.
I'm not saying that's right, I'm not saying I agree with that,
but let me tell you this.
If your greatest ally somehow never shows up
to the training match or the fight,
are they your greatest ally?
And I'm gonna tell you this.
UK, Australia, South Korea, like I said,
we fight alongside each other, and we've died together.
Many of you are like, "Well, you know, they're not that big."
You know, other countries, we have agreements.
I'll tell you this.
Japan, they don't send troops with us,
but we are going to die if Japan gets invaded.
We are allies, they just don't send to foreign wars.
But against China, we have agreements with them in Taiwan
that US boys are going to die if those,
so we can at least say we have treaties,
and we plan, we train to go to war.
But you know who we don't do that with?
Israel.
Now, many of you may go, "Well, they're a small nation,
"so I mean, they can't be that involved."
Well, I want to tell you this, in Afghanistan,
I served with soldiers from Qatar,
the Emirates, and Macedonia.
I use these because they are very small,
of less population than Israel,
and I doubt that most people in here
could point to all of them on a map.
But yet, they would send troops
to fight along their ally, the U.S.
Israel has not.
They've never sent troops in support of us.
They don't send money in support of us.
Let me, you know, you're going around,
let me give you a real clear example.
Saddam Hussein, the ally of the U.S.,
who built him the fifth largest military in the world,
fought a multi-year war for us against Iran,
because Iran took England's oil.
That's where Saddam Hussein came from.
That's why the Middle East united against them,
is because we built him a large military.
We're not a good ally to have.
There's another thing to go through.
We overthrew him,
but he supported us more than Israel ever has.
You want a real clear one,
how about a small organization that wasn't even a nation?
They were a basically non-profit foreign entity.
Osama bin Laden had hundreds of men die for the U.S.
Because if you don't know,
al-Qaeda during the '80s was our ally.
That is why he was in Ronald Reagan's White House
hearing this is a man who fights for freedom,
'cause he fought with us as an ally.
He had thousands of men throughout the world
fight for our cause.
That alliance didn't last either,
but I'm just saying he has done more
for the US fighting us than Israel.
If you find this crazy, learn history.
History ain't boring.
History is more interesting
than any reality TV show you'll ever listen,
and it's real.
'Cause I am honestly telling you,
Osama Bin Laden has been a better ally
to the US than Israel.
If you think that's crazy,
well, you don't know the history,
'cause he has put more.
How about bases?
You're like, oh, you used all around the world.
We're talking, we need, Israel is the stable democracy
in the Middle East, so we gotta have a strong ally.
We don't have a base in the nation.
You know who we do have?
Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the Emirates.
These are the places that we actually keep our troops
and we launch from.
What good is Israel?
You don't know Israel sometimes shuts their airspace to us
'cause they're grumpy about something.
Sometimes we can park our boats there to resupply,
but not all the time.
What's interesting is many of these other countries these,
oh, well, the Islamic countries,
yeah, they're a better ally to us, to our military forces.
And whether like I don't agree with our foreign policy,
but if you wanna say our foreign policy is,
we don't need Israel at all.
'Cause you know who's actually a much better ally?
Turkey.
We've had bases, missiles, silos, resources in Turkey
for the last 60 years.
And guess what?
Israel is not a strategic partner
when it comes to our military affairs.
And to think so is nonsensical.
How about countries that share a threat with us?
'Cause you think, man, we gotta have allies to do this.
And of course, I think most people would tell me,
there's only really two answers
I think most people would tell me.
It's gonna be Russia or China.
You know what's interesting about Russia?
Do you know who has an unconditional ally of Russia?
That'd be Israel.
Israel is an unconditional ally of Russia.
And the reason is, as Putin says,
why would I ever not be an unconditional ally of Israel?
It's a Russian colony.
Because if you do not know,
if you are blinded by whatever made up history you have,
it's a bunch of Eastern Slavs that moved there
after World War II.
And if you don't understand, now see,
a lot of people get confused with this,
but let me just explain very quickly.
In Putin's mind, Russian people
are all Eastern Slavic people.
Whether or not they're in Russia or not,
he believes Russia should have all this area
that's including Ukraine, that's all that.
So whether they're Poles, and you can call this crazy,
to actually think Russia and the U.S. are going to war
is insane since they have the same leadership.
And you're like, "Oh, that's conspiratorial."
No, it is not.
You can literally read any of that.
The Israeli dual-citizenships are the billionaires
in their country, just like they are here.
And I literally found an article in the last two weeks
where they're literally complaining about
why do these dual-citizenship have
all the powerful positions in our government?
Why do dual-citizenship have every position
in Biden's administration?
'Cause you know who doesn't have that?
The Muslims don't have that.
They're not one country.
Yeah, I know there's a Muslim in the New York mayor,
but guess what?
It isn't all of them,
and it's not one nation they're swearing to.
Minnesota may have problems with Somalia,
but our whole nation seems to have a dual-citizenship
that seems to control this.
Guess what?
Russia does too.
Israel is not our ally against Russia.
So if you think that's our greatest threat,
you've got a problem here.
And let me tell you this.
In Proverbs 20 and verse 22 and verse 24, it says,
"Make no friendship with an angry man,
and with a furious man thou shall not go,
lest thou learn his ways and get a snare to thy soul."
Let me tell you this.
We ally with people that want to go to war all the time.
Let me tell you this.
That little pseudo state in the Middle East
has been at war constantly.
They're probably the only country that currently exists
that can go to America like, keep up the op tempo, man.
You do wars and you take a break, you do wars.
Israel is just like, let's just go, full time.
Let's just fight.
Your thing is, well, other people like, well, remember,
we need to worry about our partners and our allies
because our economy.
Well, I think it's weird that many states have laws
against boycotting Israel.
What a pointless law to show who actually has influence
in our government that literally Israel
has able to put anti-boycott Israel products in the US,
laws in the US, because Israel is less than 0.5 of 1%
of our trade.
If Israel got nuked off the map, I'm
sorry our economy wouldn't change.
I'm not-- there's no justification for that,
but I'm just saying they're insignificant to our economy.
And let me tell you, if we actually did boycott them,
you know what would we lose?
Hormone therapy for children.
That's where we import these drugs.
Diamonds, which I thought was very interesting since there's
not one diamond mine in Israel, but that's our main export.
And then there's certain tech like spyware
that we buy from them for government reasons.
That is what we would lose economically.
So if you're telling me, man, we got to outlie Israel
and we got to attack China, I hope
you have your bunker ready to go because I'm going to tell you
it's going to hurt a lot more if China blocks us than Israel.
If we boycott Israel, there is not going to be a big loss.
But here the thing is, economically it's not just that.
Economically, we send billions a year to them.
On a normal year without war, it's 4 to 5 billion dollars
we send to maintain their military.
But hey, in the last couple of years,
they've been doing a genocide.
You know who pays for that?
You do.
We just agreed to $35 billion this year,
$35 billion next year, which means
they're not stopping their operations
to kill the Palestinians.
Well, you know, they're enemies of Christ.
Israel's an enemy of Christ.
But let me tell you this.
If you're in a position of power as a colony state,
and all you're doing is shutting off
water to people in the desert,
and you think that is moral in any single way,
and you think God smiles upon that,
well, you know, they're not Christian.
Neither are the Jews.
So if you think it's okay for them
to literally genocide the people
just because, you know, the TV tells you so,
there's something wrong with you.
Well, you know, I saw that they were hiding
munitions in a hospital.
Oh, hospitals that the Israelis blew up
with children, women in them.
Oh, you're talking about the nation
that justifies their soldiers raping male captives,
not just women, they rape everyone,
but then these soldiers that in 2004 are doing a tour
talking about, oh, please have pity for us.
And they're getting standard impressions
from mentally ill people that these rapists,
these queer, faggity rapists for your holy nation,
and that nation defends them because it says,
well, they were the enemy.
It's to terrorize them.
It's really for the good.
There's something wrong with you.
And if you're like, this is anti-Semitic,
I'm talking about a nation and their policy.
And if your nation supports your soldiers
raping your captives, they're already caught up,
locked up in your jails, and you get to rape them,
you're not on God's side.
We gotta defend our greatest ally.
No, we do not.
So let me just put this in perspective.
You know, a lot of you are losing minds
that I'm not the biggest for social programs,
but here's the thing is, we have this whole thing like,
it's impossible for us to just,
the government just takes on the student loan debt
and just pays it all off.
Like, I mean, our economy, we couldn't do that.
Just from their perspective,
the insane amount of debt we're in
for student loan is 140 billion.
We count everything we give to Israel,
that's basically four years.
One president just says,
we're not gonna give to Israel,
we're just gonna pay our debt off of our citizens.
It's gone.
Something that took us 50 years to get in debt for,
literally could be gone in four years.
I'm not saying that's the right policy.
I just wanna put that in perspective
when people have these,
oh, it's impossible that we do.
Dude, we just don't spend money on genocide.
Like we got money to help people.
And here's the thing is,
like you wanna sum up basically our relationship
with Israel, it's Proverbs 11 verse one, it says,
a false balance is an abomination of the Lord,
but a just wait is his delight.
We are not, Israel does not support us.
They do not send men with us.
We, they don't, you know, even politically stand by us.
'Cause let me tell you this, you're again,
you think Israel is against China or Russia,
you are insane.
Israel has been a close ally of them because,
hey, if you don't understand this,
politically communism came because in the same group
that just supported the new mayor in New York,
which is the Jewish council of New York,
they're the ones who stated that communism
is just Judaism turned into politics.
And that's not a conspiracy,
that's what they said for 50 years.
If you think they're against communism,
no, they're not against communism.
That's what they want for the Gentile.
And that's just open understanding.
So if you're anti-communist,
you cannot support the Israeli nation
because that's what they're supporting everywhere.
Now you're like, oh, but they're our greatest
long-term ally, one, that's just crazy.
'Cause you know who's our longest treaty holder?
None of you would probably know this, Morocco.
The first treaty the US ever signed,
one of the first nations that recognized us as a nation
was Morocco in 1787.
And we still hold this.
This treaty wasn't just a historical event.
It's still upheld every year.
It's our right to trade and travel within their lands,
and they have the same right in our ports to do the same.
So if you want longevity, it's Morocco.
If you want serving with us, it's Korea.
If it's bases in the Middle East, Qatar.
I'm using these things 'cause most of you,
and I'm not trying to be mean,
unless you're really big into geography and politics,
you don't know where these places are.
But these are places that actually work with the U.S.,
that actually probably benefit with us
and actually support us.
Amazingly, that little non-necessary country
in the Middle East isn't on this list.
In Proverbs 22, in verse 28, it says,
"Remove not the ancient landmarks
"which thy fathers have set."
In Proverbs 23, in verse 10, it says,
"Remove not the old landmarks
"and enter not in the fields of the fatherless,
"for their Redeemer is mighty,
"and he shall plead the cause with thee."
Understand that for the longest time,
we upheld Christendom.
Very unified idea in that,
but we didn't make such allies with enemies of Christ.
You at least needed to uphold that Christ was something
for us to hold any type of military idea with you.
Otherwise, we would reject it.
For a long time, the U.S. wouldn't even uphold
with Catholic countries,
'cause they're like, "You don't uphold Christ."
We relaxed on that.
But now it's pretty much, if you are a Christian,
I think, anyway, it's just crazy to me.
Now here's the thing is, politically,
I don't think there's really anyone we can agree with.
The world's just gone crazy.
But I will tell you this.
In Proverbs 23 and verse nine, it says,
"Speak not in the ears of a fool,
for he will despise the wisdom of thy words."
Here's the thing is, like, politically,
you could think like the UK or Japan or Australia,
like they're similar, they hold courts,
they have similar laws and practices.
Well, Israel is a fascist, racist, you know, dual.
They get angry if you say partied,
but it's, partied means two,
and the country is split into two areas
based on race, world no religion.
Now, Christians get kicked out.
Christians are in Palestine.
Christians are there.
You're either Jew from Russia or you're nobody.
You're like, "Oh, well, that's not the way it works."
Really?
Because Israel has no problem kicking you out.
If you're not the type of Jew they like,
they will kill you, they will,
they might just kill you if you're Palestinian.
But if you're actually an Israeli citizen,
they'll just take your passport
and kick you out of the country.
They do this with Africans all the time.
If you don't know, they just take 10,000 Africans
that are Israeli citizens and go,
"You're not what we're looking for.
Take your passport and they just deport you
to what country they want."
Well, you know, this or that.
They were Jews from Ethiopia.
They've been Jews for a thousand years.
But when you're a fascist state
and you're not mixing into what they like,
and hey, if you're from Poland,
hard to have the same look that you're going for.
And they do this all the time.
And you're like, "Well, you know, politically, you know,
I don't, why is there this Palestinian community
that protests in Spokane?"
Good question.
'Cause Israel pays to have them moved here.
All the nonprofits that move them,
and what's the New Hope, right?
It was a hotel right across I-90 in downtown Spokane.
That's all funded by the Israeli government,
which is funded by your tax dollars receiving money.
They take the people they don't like in their nation,
and they drop them everywhere else in the world.
Because it's an ethnic state.
And if you don't know, that's ethnic cleansing,
which is justified as genocide.
Because when you're making a colony,
and you're from Poland and Russia,
and unfortunately there's people there already,
they go to war, they destabilize the area.
'Cause one of the craziest things people say politically
is like, they're the only stable country there.
They're the ones who unstabled everything.
Oh, they've been fighting there forever.
Not really, the Ottomans kind of held it together
pretty well for like 800 years, or sorry, 600 years.
There wasn't a lot of inter-fighting there.
That whole idea, well, you know,
if you go back to Romans and this,
why is it when we talk about the state of Israel,
somehow there's a 2,000 year gap in anyone's understanding?
All right, I don't know if you can say,
I don't know 2,000 years from now,
there's gonna be a few people get together and be like,
actually, we're real Texans, so you know what,
we get our own country.
Who's gonna laugh at that?
But strangely, a bunch of Polish people show up
and they go, well, actually, this is our area,
which is weird 'cause you've actually understand
any type of history if you're like,
well, no, that's the blood of Abraham.
No, you are all much closer to Abraham,
and that's just mathematically thin,
but the, my goodness, oh, what is the people?
People just north, Turkey will not give them
their own country.
I cannot think of the name right now.
No, no, no, Turkey.
No, no, no, it's okay, I'll come back to it.
But basically, in the Middle East,
in North Iraq, in Turkey, in the Kurds,
if you do not understand, the Kurds,
the reason why everyone hates them there
is those were the Jews kicked out of Judea
by the Romans that were not allowed back.
They became the Kurds, everyone hates them, all right?
They are not allowed to have their own nation.
Every nation there will ally with each other
to not have them do it because they're all despised.
Now, why do Americans not know that?
Because they're Islamic.
Like, "Oh, see, they can't be the children of Abraham."
The rabbinical Judaism's younger than Christianity.
It was made after Christ had already came.
And let's go through there, 'cause a lot of people would say,
"Oh, well, you know, you're going through,
"but you're missing the big point."
God has a plan for those people.
God has it.
I just told you, if you do not honor the son of Christ,
you are of anti-Christ.
The Bible is very clear.
If you do not have the son, you do not have the father.
In John 3 verse 15, it says,
"Whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
but have eternal life.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his son to the world to condemn the world,
but that the world through him might be saved."
This is what the Pharisees did by large.
They just, they forsook.
Christ was in front of them.
Christ literally preached to them.
Now here's the thing is, oh no,
the rabbinical religion is much older.
Well, let me tell you, the only part that is older
is the spirit of antichrist,
which if you believe Christ in Mark 7,
he said in verse 5, it says,
"Then the Pharisee and scribes asked him,"
that's Christ,
"Why walk he not thy disciples
according to the tradition of the elders,
but eat bread with unwashing hands?
He answered and said unto them,
'We hath desired the prophesied unto you hypocrites,'
as it was written,
'The people honor me with the lips,
but their heart is far from me,
howbeit in vain do they worship me.
Teach me for the doctrines, the commandments of men.
For laying aside the commandments of God,
ye hold to the tradition of men,
as the washing of pots and the cups,
and many such things ye do.'
And they said unto them,
'For we, for well, ye reject the commandments of God,
that ye may keep your own traditions.'
If you want to understand the rabbinical religion
that's called Judaism now,
that's Christ talking about it.
You reject God.
And this is when Christ was there.
You reject the commandments of God
to keep the traditions of your elders.
And that is what rabbinical Judaism is.
Any part of the Mosaic law,
any part of the Mosaic seat that was in the remnants,
and Christ continuously criticized the Pharisees
for being hypocrites,
but they still were in the seed of Moses.
But guess what?
God, through the Romans, destroyed the seed of Moses.
He removed that completely out.
The Mosaic religion was done away completely
and only a surviving elder,
because the temple workers,
the center point of that entire religion was destroyed.
And the couple of Pharisees that were left had to,
they called it the Reformation in Judaism,
'cause they had to reform and make a new religion,
because the center point of the religion is gone.
It's not the same thing.
Now here's the thing is, I already told you,
if you do not honor Christ, you are the spirit of antichrist,
and you're like, "Well, God has a plan for him."
Well, in Revelation 3, 9, it says,
"Behold, I will make them the synagogue of Satan,
which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie.
Behold, I will make them come and worship before thy feet,
and to know that I have loved thee."
And that thee is speaking to save people.
People argue like, "Oh, well, God left a remnant."
Yeah, who was that remnant?
It was the Jews that would have faith on God,
which means they fell for, they went for Christ,
and they became saved.
Paul is the key person who shows this.
He was a Pharisee of the Pharisee,
but you know what, when he died,
he didn't tell people, I'm a phariseeical Jew.
He said, I am a Christian, I am a Christ lover,
and there is no difference between Greek or Gentile,
there is no difference between the Greek or the Jew.
There is no difference between the Jew and Gentile.
They are one in Christ.
And if you do not uphold that,
if you believe genealogy matters,
bloodline matters for God's plan,
you have obviously not read the Bible enough.
You have read commentaries, you've watched Fox News,
you have turned on documentaries made
by people that have the Star of David
somewhere in their profile, all right?
And let me tell you, doesn't it make sense
that someone that's an Israeli supporter
make documentaries to support Israel?
But you're not going to find that in Biblical Christianity.
In Hebrews 8, it even says, in 13, it says,
"In that he said, a new covenant he hath made, the first old,
now that which decayeth and waxes old is ready to vanish."
Understand, the New Testament takes the old and washes it away.
The old commandments were given as a sign.
The practices, the cleaning, the sacrifices
was a symbol of the things that should come,
a symbol of what would come.
In Hebrews 9 verse 6, it says, "Now when these things were thus ordained,
the priest went always into the first tabernacle,
accomplishing the services of God.
But into the second went the high priest alone once every year,
not without blood, which he offered himself for the heirs of people."
The Holy Ghost, this signified that the way of the holiness
all was not yet made manifest,
while as the first tabernacle was yet standing,
which was a figure for the time then present,
in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices
that could not make him that did serve as perfect
as pertained to consciousness,
which stood only in the meats and drinks
and devices of worship, carnal ordinance imposed on them
until the time of Reformation.
But, Christ, being come the high priest of good things to come
by greater and more perfect tabernacle,
not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building,
neither by the blood of the goats or calves,
but by his own blood, he entered once into the holy place,
having obtained eternal redemption for us all.
For if the blood of bulls and goats,
and ashes and heifers sprinkled the unclean,
sanctified and purified of the flesh,
how much more shall the blood of Christ,
who through the eternal spirit offered himself
without spot to God,
purer your conscience from the dead works
to serve the living God.
The religion and practices that Moses set up
was to show what Christ would do.
When Christ came, there was no need,
there was no purpose to the sacrifices
that the old priesthood did
to show what Christ would do once for all.
And that is why God removed the temple.
Oh, there's a third temple coming.
If it is, it's for the antichrist.
And what's interesting to me, Christian, is this.
You're like, "Well, we're waiting for the second coming,
and they're just looking for the first."
That's not true.
We're looking for the antichrist to come,
and the Jews are waiting for their messiah.
And it's interesting because Jesus said to the Jews,
"You serve your father, Satan."
Christian, wake up.
And here's the thing is,
if honestly you believe the state of Israel
is the end time prophecy at all,
the only thing they can fulfill
is to work with the antichrist.
That is the only thing they could do to fulfill anything.
Which means, what are you doing supporting them?
But here's the thing,
if it is the end times,
if you truly believe that,
then what is the great falling away that's predicted?
I will say it is every so-called Christian
putting Christ down and upholding the Jews.
You are honoring Satan's children instead of Christ.
'Cause Christ wouldn't have you
just give your complete loyalty
to a nation that is engaging in racism,
genocide, and purposely pushing
anti-Christ beliefs throughout the world.
- Right.
- Here's the thing, we read certain chronicles there.
You have the king of Judah being wrong.
You have the king of Israel being really wrong
and God not supporting either one of them.
Well, if we don't support them, we won't be blessed.
That is not a biblical teaching.
In Genesis three, verse 26, it says,
"For ye are all children of God by..."
Sorry, Galatians, I said Genesis.
Galatians, apologize my dyslexia.
Galatians three, "For ye are all children of God
"by faith in Jesus Christ.
"For as many of you that have been baptized into Christ
"have put on Christ, there is neither Jew nor Greek.
"There is neither bond nor free.
"There is neither male nor female.
"For ye are one in Christ Jesus.
"And if ye be of Christ, then ye are Abraham's seed
"and heirs according to the promised."
Who gets the promises of Abraham?
They're like, "Oh, if you don't bless them,
"God won't bless you."
Interesting, 'cause God doesn't say,
"Bless Satan and I will bless you."
He says, "Faithful Christians,
"those that have put their trust in Christ,
"those saved people are the heirs of Abraham."
You know how much world drama, trouble, wars,
how much pain and suffering this world would go away
if you just read your Bible and turned off Fox News?
Do you know how much, like,
the Middle East would be better in every single way
if you do not support that wicked nation?
Now, whether you believe it was purposeful
or it was just a consequence,
do you know what people have truly been eradicated
from the Middle East?
Anyone who calls himself Christian.
Now, whether or not you believe
that is a purposefully driven thing by Israel
or it was a consequence, I don't care.
But you know what?
Lebanon, that was the Christian state in the Middle East.
Not no more.
The Iraqi population of Christians they had, gone.
Syria, gone.
Palestine, they're doing their best to wipe them out now.
Egypt, massively decreased.
If you are a Christian first,
you would view this nation
as one of the greatest enemies to you.
Their actions throughout the world
has demonized, threatened, and harmed.
Also called Christians.
And I understand many of these people
we may not agree are saved,
but at least they upheld Christ in some way.
Which is far better than any nation
ran by self-proclaimed Jews.
So, John 4, John 4 and verse 21, it says,
"Jesus said unto her, 'Woman, believe me,
"'the hour cometh when she shall neither in this mountain
"'nor yet a Jerusalem worship the Father.'"
And this is Jesus talking to the Samaritan woman.
"'Ye worship ye know not what,
"'we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.
"'But the hour cometh, and now is,
"'when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit
"'and in truth, for the Father seeketh such that worship him.
"'And God is a spirit, and they shall worship him,
"'worship him, must worship him, in spirit and truth.'"
Literally this verse, when Jesus is talking,
it's like, hey, right now, yeah,
worshiping in Jerusalem is, 'cause he asked the question,
where's, you know, we say we worship over here,
the Jews say you worship over here.
He says, yeah, salvation is with the Jews, why?
Jesus came from the Judea, he came from a lineage of Jews.
That's where that whole, no need of the nation after that,
that fulfilled all prophecy.
But what he is saying here is, after Christ,
after the New Testament,
do you need to go to Jerusalem for salvation?
You absolutely do not.
Jesus is literally telling a Gentile at this time,
yeah, you should have gone there, but guess what?
A time coming is now is.
You don't need to go to Jerusalem.
Oh, we got to do our pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
No, pagan, you don't.
You know, God is the spirit
and he is the king of the whole world.
I'm in his footstool, I could be anywhere here
and worship God and be saved where I am at.
I do not need to go to some dusty bowl
that maybe had something interesting happen millennia ago
with people in genealogies that don't even exist anymore,
lost in the time.
Guess what?
Jesus said, the time now is
that you do not need to go to Jerusalem.
So you're like, oh, well, we just got to support.
No, you don't.
Guess what?
Here's my thing.
People are like, well, we need an ally over there
'cause you know, all of the Islamics,
they're really anti-American.
You know why they're anti-American?
Because of Israel.
Do you know, before Israel,
we had exactly zero enemies in the Middle East.
As an American, you could walk through the Middle East
and they were excited to see you
'cause it was like, wow, it's like a celebrity.
It's kind of like the way you felt
like people would describe
when they go through African countries.
They're like, whoa, cool, a foreigner.
Why are they so anti?
And here's the thing is, in the '80s, that was still true.
Osama Bin Laden, yay America!
Osama, we became great Satan.
Maybe 'cause we've blown up half of their freaking countries,
we have murdered their civilians,
and for no reason that I can think logically or factually,
we've helped the genocide in Palestine.
Boy, has that helped spread the word of God?
Are they more or less receptive to the gospel
now that we've engaged
with the satanically driven genocide of the Middle East?
Yeah, the word of God is not going through.
And let me tell you this, if you're a Christian first,
or here's the thing is, if you're American,
how about just your money?
Like if that stops the war, you'd just do that, I guess.
But as a Christian, you can't support this.
And guess what, it has harmed the work of Christ.
It has removed people that even identify as Christian
from those areas, and it has made it harder
for Christians around the world, because guess what?
As Americans, we're like, wow,
they're literally helped kill people.
Hey, if you don't know, the Taliban literally offered
to give us Osama bin Laden without a war,
but they felt the American people were so angry
we had to go to war, 'cause Islamists would work with us.
That doesn't fulfill someone else's desire
for the disabling of every nation around them.
So you can't tell me this ally has helped us
with the work of Christ.
First, John four and verse three it says,
"And every spirit that confesses not Jesus Christ
"has come in the flesh, is not a God.
"This is the spirit of Antichrist.
"Wherever ye have heard, it should come,
"even now he is already in the world."
And second, John one and seven says,
"For many deceivers are into the world
"who confesses not Jesus is the Christ,
"has come in the flesh, and the deceiver is of Antichrist."
The whole purpose of this sermon is to let you know,
no matter what your political view is,
please don't tell me Israel is our greatest ally.
I would hide in trouble.
Now, you could say the money we send to them,
we are their greatest ally.
That's without question.
Even Russia, who is an unconditional ally,
they're kind of losing a lot of money currently,
so they can't give them billions and billions of dollars.
They help set up, and Putin says
they're basically a colony of Russia.
All like, I don't remember the percentage,
but a huge percentage of Israel is a dual citizen of Russia.
That's been true since the foundation.
But I'm just saying, we need to not be unequally yoked
with the unbelievers.
That is what God commanded of us.
And if you would, just go ahead and turn to Romans 9,
Romans 9, that'll be the last place I have you turn.
All I'm saying is this, is a nation
that has never done us good, that does not support us,
that cost us billions upon billions upon billions,
we have literally lost thousands of lives
fighting the extended war to make sure
that there is no legitimate enemy on the Israel's border
'cause they've unstabilized the entire region.
And let me explain that.
Israel didn't stabilize themselves in an unstable region.
The region, if you look at Iraq, Syria, even Jerusalem,
and basically the 50s,
like you basically see New York.
You see Tehran, which is Iran.
You go into Afghanistan.
You just see 1950 town.
They weren't quite as infrastructure up,
but they were developing.
Weirdly, the entire Middle East
is reverted through years of war.
Like I said, at the Taliban stronghold,
which is Southern Afghanistan, where I was,
do you know it used to be called Little America?
We spent years building one of the largest dams
in Central Asia.
You know what America does 'cause we're great allies?
We blew it up.
When asked why, 'cause believe it or not,
a dam is not really a terrorist weapon.
They're not gonna take their dam
and ram it into one of our buildings if you don't know.
There was no sense, there wasn't a, we just, we could.
We're, wow, well we got big bombs.
We blew up the dam we built.
This did not make us popular.
All I'm saying is, you guys, you've heard some crazy things
'cause hey, many people in Afghanistan were allies.
Al-Qaeda was our ally, Saddam Hussein was our ally.
You can go through history and you can find,
you probably don't wanna be a U.S. ally
'cause we will betray you quick.
And I think we're about to do that to Taiwan
within your life, like we have fought,
we have developed and trained with Taiwan forever
and I'm pretty sure we're about to sacrifice them.
Whether or not you believe in,
whether or not that's useful, all I'm saying is this,
who are our allies?
And please don't tell me it is Israel.
In Romans 9 verse 24, it says,
"Even us and who they have called,
not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles.
As he has said also, Osee, I will call them my people,
which were not my people, and her beloved,
which were not beloved.
And it shall come to pass that in the place
where it was said unto them, ye are not my people,
there shall they be called the children of the living God.
Isaiah also cried concerning Israel,
through the numbers of the children of Israel
and the sand of the sea and the remnant shall be saved,
for he will finish the work and cut short the righteous,
because a short work the Lord maketh the earth.
And as Isaiah said before, except the Lord of Sabbath
had left us a seed, we had been of sodom
and been made like Gomorrah.
What shall we say then?
The Gentiles which follow not after righteousness
have attained righteousness even unto the righteous,
which is of faith, but Israel,
of which is after the law of righteousness,
not attained the law of righteousness.
Wherefore, because they sought not it by faith,
but as were by works of law,
for their stumble at the stumbling stone.
As it was written, behold, I lay at Zion,
a stumbling block of the rock of the fence.
Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
This whole part is literally talking.
This is where God says, the people of God
in the New Testament will be a people
that did not exist before.
And I know I've covered this multiple times.
If you believe, well, we gotta honor the people of God,
the nation of God.
Well, as long as they meet a couple of checkpoints.
One, they honor the Son of God,
and the people of God did not exist before Christ's death.
So you're like, well, you know, the Jews existed before.
And I'm not saying the Jews now are the same people then,
but if that's the people you think are the children of God,
you are violating scripture.
'Cause God says, I'm gonna make a people
that were not a people before,
of Gentiles and of Jews,
of the faithful is what's going through.
And it says it was literally prophesied
through multiple people.
And it's literally saying a remnant.
People always go, well, there's always gonna be a remnant.
The remnant was those that had faith on Christ.
He went to Israel.
He did the majority of his ministry in Israel
to reach the remnant.
The lost tribe was Israel.
It was Judah at the time.
People were like, I won't get into that.
Israel is a wonderful marketing campaign.
My wife's sister went to Israel,
and they literally said, you know, in the '80s,
we had like 500 refugees, I'm sorry,
during the '70s, during the Vietnam War.
We had 500 refugees,
Vietnam people come, you know, and immigrate to Israel.
You know, maybe they were the lost tribe of Israel.
This is the foundation of her sister's faith.
Like we were the, you know, actually Vietnamese were,
you know, actually the children of Israel.
Now here's the thing is,
do you know they tell everyone that?
It doesn't matter where you're from.
Like the King of England actually think
that English people was the lost tribe.
That like this whole matter, it's throughout the world.
It's crazy that people believe this,
but that's the thing here, sorry.
But basically this is people are always looking like,
"Oh, how am I connected to Israel?"
Let me tell you how you're connected.
The seed that came from Israel,
'cause it literally says in what I just read,
the only reason God did not nuke that nation
like he did Sodom and Gomorrah
for hundreds and hundreds of years
was because his promise that Messiah would come.
The only reason he did not punish them
like Sodom and Gomorrah
is because he had to fulfill his word,
which was Jesus.
Jesus came from there and after that,
there is no need of that nation.
And that is why the nation has not existed
for a thousand years.
Now, if you're talking about Israel,
multiple thousand,
we're like 2,500 years it has not existed.
Judah, you're talking almost 2,000 years
it has not existed.
God does not need it.
Well, you know, they're just, you know,
just like when they went to Babylon.
How many years were they in Babylon?
A little less than a couple thousand.
Notice that God never takes
a couple thousand year break, all right?
God, Jesus is the head of church.
God is now, Messiah is here.
Understand this, is the people of Christ.
The only reason Judah at the time had not been destroyed
was because Jesus had to come
and let us all know if you know anything about history,
after Jesus came, God removed the nation.
Do not tell me the people that call themselves Jews
are our greatest allies.
God literally calls them the synagogue of Satan.
That nation has never supported us
in spiritual or in physical.
They have never shown their troops to us.
Our troops die for them.
They have never supported us troops.
We send billions so they can conduct
their illegal wicked wars of genocidal ethnic cleansing.
They do not support us.
They do not care for our politics.
They do not like us.
They wish us to be more socialized.
That's why their due citizenships are always support.
I, you ever heard of Bernie Sanders?
Pretty sure he has a dual citizenship
and it isn't to Norway.
And he is our biggest person pushing socialism in here
because that's what the Gentiles should have
as far as they're concerned.
But that's a whole nother sermon.
All I'm saying is this, our greatest ally, worldly,
you're gonna have to pick Korea, England, Australia,
but how about you just pick Christ
and you become Christian before you're American.
And no matter what our politics does,
no matter what our media says,
no matter what books or commentaries that, you know,
perhaps dual citizen members with Israel publish,
why don't you just go back to the Bible and go,
wow, I can't support them
because they're not in the will of God.
I can't support them because they do not call
in the name of Christ.
I cannot support them because killing women
and children in hospitals is not something I can support.
Raping your captives and then being justified by the state.
And let me tell you, it's not just some people,
the state protects them.
Nothing about that wicked, illegitimate country
in the Middle East founded on lies, built on nonsense,
and has been the worst ally I think the US has ever had.
With that, let's pray.
Heavenly Father, thank you so much today.
Thank you for this word.
I just hope that any of this that I find useful,
'cause Lord, how we can talk about politics
and time and religion is so many churches,
probably this week, got up and said,
"We've got to support our greatest ally."
And unfortunately, they did not mean you.
They did not mean Christians around the world.
And they probably meant someone
that only wishes our destruction.
In Jesus' name, amen.
