in verse 1, it says, "Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and
know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that
executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth, and will pardon it. And though they say the
Lord liveth, surely they swear falsely, O Lord, are not thine eyes upon the truth? Thou hast
stricken them, but they have not grieved. Thou hast consumed them, but they have refused
to receive correction. They have made their faces harder than a rock, they have refused
to return. Therefore said Shirley, these are poor, they are foolish, for they know not the
way of the Lord, nor the judgment of their God. I will get me unto the great men, and
will speak unto them, for they have known the way of the Lord, and the judgment of their
God. But these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds. Wherefore, a lion
out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them. A leper
shall watch over their cities. Every one that goeth out then shall be torn in pieces, because
their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased. How shall I pardon me for this?
Thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods. When I have fed them
to the full, they committed adultery and assembled themselves by troops in the harlot's houses.
They were as fed horses in the morning, every one neighing after his neighbor's wife. Shall
I not visit for these things, saith the LORD, and shall not my soul be avenged on such a
nation as this? Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy, but make not a full end, take away
her battlements, for they are not the LORD's. For the house of Israel and the house of
Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the LORD. They have
felled the LORD, and said, It is not he, neither shall evil come upon us, neither
shall we see sword nor famine, and the prophets shall become wind, and the word
is not in them, thus shall it be done unto them. Wherefore thus saith the LORD,
God of hosts, because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth
fire, and this people would, and it shall devour them. Lo, I will bring a nation
upon you from afar. O house of Israel, say of the LORD, it is a mighty nation, it is
an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what
they say. Their quiver is an open sepulchre. They are almighty men, and they shall eat
up thine harvest and thy bread, which thy sons and thy daughters should eat. They shall
eat up thy flocks and thy herd, they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees, and they
shall impoverish thy fenced cities wherein thou trustest with the sword. Nevertheless,
in those days saith the Lord, I will not make a fool end of you. And it shall come to pass,
ye shall say, Wherefore doeth the Lord our God all these things unto us? Then shalt thou
answer them, like as ye have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land. So shall
ye serve strangers in a land that is not yours. Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish
it in Judah, saying, Hear now this, O foolish people, without understanding, which have
eyes, and see not, which have ears, and hear not. Fear ye not me, saith the Lord? Will
ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by
a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it? And though the waves thereof toss themselves,
yet can they not prevail? Though they roar, yet can they not pass over it? But this people
hath a revolting and rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone. Nevers are neither
say they in their heart. Let us now fear the Lord our God, that giveth reign, both the
former and the latter. In his season he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.
Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholding good things
from you. For among my people are found wicked men; they lay wait, as that set at stairs,
they set a trap, they catch men. As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full
of deceit. Therefore they are become great and wax and rich; they are wax and fat, they
shine, yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked. They judge not the cause, they cause
the fatherless, yet they prosper. And the right of the needy do they not judge. Shall
I not visit these things, saith the Lord? Shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation
as this? A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land. The prophets prophesy
falsely, and the priests spare rule by their means. And my people love, sorry, and my people
love to have it so. And what will ye do in the end thereof? My dearly father, may you
bless the preaching night and identify this church. Thank you so much for this church,
God. May you just keep us safe and bless this night and your name. Amen. Amen. Don't worry.
All right, glad to be back. Thanks again for having me, everyone. And also, in case they
watch this later. Thank you, my pastor, Pastor Thompson and Pastor Menes, for giving me the
opportunity to preach up here. I really appreciate that. We'll get right into it here. We're going
to be doing a Bible study tonight. So you're going to want to keep a finger or a bookmark
in Jeremiah five. Tom, my sermon is a revolting rebellious nation from verse
23. The Bible says in chapter number five of Jeremiah, but this people have a revolting
and rebellious heart. They are revolted and gone. Let's pray. Lord, thank you so much for
this day. Good opportunity to preach your word, Lord. I pray that you fill me with the Holy Ghost
and help me identify your people. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen. All right. So just getting into it
here. Like I said, we're doing a Bible study and at this point in the nation of Israel, obviously
they're being judged very heavily. But basically what I want to do, what I want to try to do with
this sermon is give you some lessons on the effect of being a rebellious person, being a rebellious
nation and specifically and just in context at this time Judah and Israel have forsaken the Lord
and basically God gives Jeremiah a task to preach all of his words against this people and he says
hey if you don't preach exactly like what I tell you to preach I'm going to confound you in front
of your enemies and make you look stupid and all that sort of stuff so you know God is judging them
super harsh in the book of Jeremiah if you've ever read the book of Jeremiah and it's because
they're not just like a little bit in sin you know these people are doing child sacrifice
you know they're totally given over to idolatry like this country has gotten to a point of extreme
wickedness so it's not just their little backslip okay so starting in verses one through three
run you to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem and see now and know and seek in the broad places
thereof if you can find a man if there be any that execute a judgment that seek of the truth and I
will pardon it and though they say the Lord liveth surely they swear falsely oh Lord are not thine
eyes upon the truth thou has stricken them but they have not grieved thou has consumed them but
they have refused to receive correction they have made their faces harder than a rock they have
refused to return so verse three you know God's saying that he's punished them he's given them
chance after chance and what do they do they refuse to obey they harden their faces that's
a rebellious people right there and you know what more rebellious group of people in the world are
there than that of the jews today and obviously you know everybody should know that but i want
to lay some groundwork here before i get into the sermon i just want to give you a really really
quick very quick history of the jews in the old testament so basically you know god promises to
abraham uh the land of canaan to his seed you have his son isaac isaac gets has jacob jacob
gets renamed israel his sons uh become what are the 12 tribes of israel moses leads the hebrews
out of the land of egypt and god's doing all these miracles for them you know he's turning you know
water into blood he's uh plaguing egypt with all these plagues he does amazing things for them
you know gives them the deliverance out of egypt and then the whole time in the land uh uh in the
wilderness what are they doing they're complaining they're rebelling against god they're revolting
against god even after he did all that for them the entire time that they were in the wilderness
to the point where only caleb and joshua could enter the promised land if you remember there
then in the book of joshua joshua conquers the land and he establishes the government of the
judges that was god's perfect will for a government system was the system of the judges and then of
course the jews rebel against that as well you know they want a king they didn't like god's
system of the judges so they have a king set up you know over them and then time goes on
and all the kings go wicked they still rebel against god and you have solomon's son rioboam
and under solomon's son rioboam is where the northern kingdom of israel and the southern
kingdom of juda have their split so during the time of jeremiah it's during the time where
they're two separate nations you have the northern kingdom of israel and the southern kingdom of juda
and up to this point you know god has has been long suffering with them but this is
finally the point where god said i've had enough the Babylonians are coming into your land
they're going to take you guys captive for 70 years period there's no repenting anymore at this
point that's god's judgment so that's obviously the jews rebellion in the old testament and god
says he's going to scatter them throughout all nations of the earth and that they're going to
be a people that's a byword and all that and then you get to modern times go ahead and leave your
finger or bookmark there in jeremiah five and turn to matthew chapter 21 and i know that was super
brief but that's my point doing that on purpose matthew 21 verse 42 jesus just got done um giving
a parable to the jews and this parable was about them killing the lord jesus christ but i want to
start in verse 42 jesus said unto them did you never read the scriptures the stone which the
builders rejected the same has become the head of the corner this is the lord's doing and it is
marvelous in our eyes therefore i say unto you the kingdom of god shall be taken from you and given
into a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof and whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be
broken but on whomsoever it shall fall it will grind him to powder and when the chief priests
and the pharisees heard this parable they perceived that he spake of them which he did obviously
jesus was preaching this parable against the jews explaining to them how because they rejected the
lord jesus christ he's going to reject them he's going to take the kingdom away from the physical
jews and give it to a nation bringing forth the fruit thereof which we know is christians today
so then turning uh matthew chapter number 27 you know we get to see the moment where the jews
rejected the lord jesus christ starting in verse 21 the governor answered and sent unto them
whether of the twain will ye that i release unto you they say barabbas so remember jesus
is about to be crucified and they always have the scapegoat where they let you know they let one
person go and they chose barabbas verse 22 pilate saith unto them what shall i do then with jesus
which is called christ they all say unto him let him be crucified and the governor said why what
evil evil hath he done but they cried out the more saying let him be crucified when pilate saw
that he could prevail nothing but that rather a tumult was made he took water and washed his
hands before the multitude saying i am innocent of the blood of this just person see ye to it
and then comes the most chilling verse in the entire bible then answered all the people and
said his blood be on us and on our children so the jews looked at the lord jesus christ the
perfect lamb of god that never sinned that paid all the punishments even for those jews
and they rejected him and said his blood be on us and on our children and even today the jews
are some of the most rebellious people and one of the most rebellious nations that has ever existed
okay so that's the modern day rejection of the jews and you know for some reason churches today
christians even though they believe in the lord jesus christ and even though even though they
they cherish the blood of christ as a holy thing that saved their souls but the people that said
let his blood be on us and our children you know christians lift them off almost to the point of
christ it seems like in some churches you know christians worship a group of people today hate
the lord jesus christ they're called jews you saw it right there his blood be on us and on our
children and you know zionists one thing that i know about them if they do actually love the
lord is that they've never talked to a real jew because i used to work at a hospital and there was
this old like 90 year old jewish woman she would always call me about my hebrew name for some reason
it was really annoying and one time i just asked her i was like well what's jesus's name in hebrew
and this 90 year old woman says we never speak of him this little sweet old lady she just turned
into this demon we don't speak of him why because the jews said his blood be on us and on our
children because they curse themselves and they're so rebellious that when christians give them the
gospel they don't give it the time of day because they hate the lord jesus christ first john 2 22
says who is a liar but he that deny it that jesus is the christ he is anti-christ that deny it the
father and the son so these jews that don't believe jesus is the messiah the bible says that they're
anti-christ religion the jews are an anti-christ religion verse 23 says whosoever deny it the son
the same hath not the father but he that acknowledge it the son hath the father also
and of course we're taught today that jews have the same god we do they just reject christ we'll
know because if you don't have the son you don't have the father and jesus even told us who the
jews father is if you want to turn to john chapter 8 jesus will let us know exactly who the jews
father is john chapter 8 verse number 44 he said year of your father the devil and the lust of your
father he will do he was a murderer from the beginning and abode not in the truth because
there is no truth in him when he speak of a lie he speaketh of his own for he is a liar and the
father of it so we've established so far you know that jews hate the lord jesus christ they were
rebellious in the old testament they were rebellious in the new testament they rejected god and they
rejected the father as well and jesus said those people you know satan is your father and you know
he's the father of all lies and he's the father of zionism as well this whole doctrine of christians
randomly you know this has never been like this throughout history christians have always known
that the religion of judaism is satanic but satan is the author of the lie of zionism but i just
wanted to at least lay that framework first before we get back into jeremiah so go back to jeremiah 5
and we'll get into the sermon here jeremiah 5 verses 7 to 10 how shall i pardon thee for this
thy children have forsaken me and sworn by them that are no gods when i had fed them to the full
then they committed adultery and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots houses
they were as fed horses in the morning everyone made after his neighbor's wife shall i not visit
for these things sayeth the lord and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this go ye up
upon her walls and destroy but make not a full end take away her battlements for they are not the
lords so number one the first thing we can learn about a rebellious nation is that god will destroy
a rebellious people's battlements what's a battlement definition of battlement is a
papyrus with open spaces that surmounts a wall and is used for defense or decoration so if you
picture like a castle picture like another wall built in front of the castle wall that goes up
to protect that castle from enemy fire but it'll have holes through it so you can still shoot
through that's basically a battlement or a battlement like on a roof is just like an exterior
fence that no one can fall off that roof basically a battlement is any sort of defense okay and he's
saying here he's like you know when i fed the nation of israel to the full when i blessed them
the more i i blessed them the more they just rebelled against me and the more that they just
went and committed to adultery and he says you know what i'm gonna do i'm gonna take away her
battlements for they are not of the lord you know there's two types of battlements in this world
there's the lord's defenses and there's the world's defenses and he's saying you know because you're
so rebellious to me i'm going to take away your defense system so like i said number one god will
destroy rebellious people's defenses keep your finger there turn to proverbs chapter number two
proverbs chapter number two a lot of verses here so stay with me proverbs two verse one my son if
thou will receive my words and hide my commandments with thee so that thou incline thy mirror into
wisdom and apply thine heart to understanding yea if thou cryest after knowledge and lifted
up thy voice for understanding if thou seekest her as silver and searches for her as for hid
treasures then shalt thou understand the fear of the lord and find the knowledge of god for
the lord giveth wisdom out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding he layeth up sound
wisdom for the righteous he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly he keepeth the path of
judgments and preserve it the way of his saints then shalt thou understand righteousness and
judgment and equity yea every good path when wisdom entereth into thy heart and knowledge is
pleasant unto thy soul discretion shall keep uh preserve thee understanding shall keep thee
to deliver thee from the way of the evil man from the man of speaker speaking for over things so
what is wisdom god's defense god's battle battlements are wisdom and we saw there in
proverbs out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding so the primary defense that a
christian has the primary battlement that any nation will have is the word of god and if the
nation is not built on the word of god and and protected by the word of god if your family's
not protected by the word of god you as yourself are not protected by the word of god then you
don't have the lord's battlements and when you don't have the lord's battlements god will take
away your defense system you know a lot of people today they try to make all these safeguards for
themselves but it's safeguards that are of the world you know you know like dave ramsey for
example you know you got to have fifty thousand dollars before you have kids you got to have this
amount of money before you have kids that's called the world's battlements and if you as a
safe christian try to trust in the world's battlements god will strip those from you
because you're being rebellious to the word of the lord just like the jews were and obviously
we know that that you know wisdom comes out of the mouth i'm sorry wisdom comes out of his mouth
knowledge and understanding comes out of the lord's mouth you know the bible teaches that
jesus is the word of god so that makes sense because the jews rejected the word of god they
rejected the lord jesus christ so they rejected god's battlements you know and our nation has done
the same thing today our nation has rejected this nation maybe once was built on on god-fearing
christians you know probably not the founders themselves but there was a time in this nation's
history where most people here were christians most people here feared the word of god respected
the word of god you know if you went to court you know bible was used as proof in court cases
you can use the bible to defend your position in court cases but today you know our nation's
rejected the word of god and has taken its own battlements on them and that's why god's wrath
like it was on the jews is now on our nation because he stripped our battlements from us
psalm 9 17 says the wicked shall be turned into hell in all nations that love god you know and
of course these new you know neocon christian conservative politicians what do they do they
always give lip service to christianity don't they you always hear them say god bless america
and we're old-fashioned we need to get back to the bible but you know jeremiah was a man of god
jeremiah was written used to write down a huge huge book of the bible and jeremiah was not acting
like our conservative leaders are acting today he wasn't acting very patriotic he was telling
them their sins and telling them about god's wrath coming on their nation but our our leaders today
they don't do that but if they actually loved our country like jeremiah probably loved his country
then they would obey god and preach what the bible actually says and actually try to have
their nation's battlements the lord's battlements and not their own battlements nahum 1 7 the lord
is good a stronghold in the day of trouble and you know of them that trust in him so what are
some battlements that our nation has trusted over the word of god now number one college
you know instead of instead of a godly young woman you know being in her parents house learning how
to do the duties of a wife our nation has taught young women now what they need to do to protect
themselves is to get that college degree because they're just gonna have a horrible life if they're
a stay-at-home mom and you know nothing's gonna go well for them you know when i went to public
school and i got this girl saved one time and uh we had a assignment in our english class of what
we want to do with our lives and she had gotten saved started reading the bible and she wrote how
she wants to be a stay-at-home mother and she wants to have children and in front of the whole
class this teacher said this is not what you ladies should be wanting to do with your life
you don't need to be some man's doormat this is going to ruin your life and of course she was
you know heartbroken and wrecked and right now this same girl is not in church she's not serving
god she's a drunk she's a porn gator she's ruined her life because she bought into the world's
battlements instead of letting the lord be her shield instead of letting the word of god be
her shield she's trusted in the nation and our nation's defense system for women and how they
should live their life instead of trusting god and she's been destroyed because of it unfortunately
we know what god tells us what a battlement will be for a woman you know he says i will therefore
in first timothy 5 14 god's will i will therefore that the younger women marry their children guide
the house give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully for some are already turned
aside after satan now i don't know about you but being with satan doesn't sound like a very safe
place to me right but god says if that ladies don't keep the house if they don't marry if they
don't bear children if they don't live the way that god wants women to to live he says that
they're turned aside after satan so the world's gonna tell you yeah you're gonna be safe if you
have that college degree just in case your husband leaves you you know you need to get that college
degree just in case your husband can't provide for you and you both have to do it together
you know but god says that you're actually turning aside after satan and no one's ever safe when
they're with satan of course you know teaching teaching people college teaches people to accept
all matter of opinions except the bible right they have their safe spaces where you're not
allowed to offend anybody but yeah they can they can talk about homosexuality being a gene that
you inherit you know i heard a nurse the other day talking about pedophilia being the gene that
you inherit so that's what that's what the uh medical schools are teaching now i guess is that
you just inherit the desire to hurt children right you're just born into that yeah keep that
mind by the way the next time that nurse offers you that vaccine and she says well i'm educated
this is really what you know your kids should have is this vaccine that's coming from the same
person that's learning now that tile rapists have inherited a gene to make them that way okay that's
the effect of college on women now we're not not even to mention just the fornication the adultery
the drugs all the alcohol that goes on there you know it's not a safe place for christians it's
not a place where you're going to have a battle in it you know if you go there god's going to strip
that battleman away from you uh song one verse one you want to turn there leave your finger in
germany five kind of ties in with earlier about how people want a desired result but they don't
really think about the way that they need to get there the bible tells us in song chapter one verse
one blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of young godly nor standeth in the way
of sinners nor sinned in the seat of the scornful but his delight is in the law of the lord and in
his laws that he meditate day and night and he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water
that ran forth his fruit in the season his leaf also shall not wither and whatsoever he do it shall
prosper so what does he say at first he says hey this is how you get blessing you don't walk in the
way of the ungodly you don't sit in the seat of the scornful you don't stand in the way of sinners
and that's exactly what you're doing when you send your kids to college or when you send your kids
to public school they're definitely sitting in the way of the scornful they're definitely standing in
the way of sinners and they're definitely in the counsel of the ungodly and he says okay so how do
you get blessed when your delight is in the law of the lord day and night remember in proverbs that
the wisdom of god is the word of god your battlement your safety your protection is the word of god
blessed is the man who delights in the law of the lord day and night okay obviously the jews
weren't doing that in jeremiah 5 obviously our nation is not doing that today but if you at
least as a family want to have the blessing of god that's what you need to be doing delighting
in god's word day and night and he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that bringing
forth his fruit in a season his leaf also shall not wither and whatsoever he do it shall prosper
that's a cool promise that anything you do you'll succeed at if you follow these principles now
obviously you know the bible teaches we're gonna have tribulations we're gonna have trials we're
gonna have bad things happen in our life but at the end of it every single thing you do as a
christian can succeed every single thing you do as a christian can prosper if you delight in the
law of the lord if you let him beat your battlement instead of the council of this world and the way of
sinners go back to jeremiah chapter 5 jeremiah chapter 5 verses 11 and 12 go ye up upon her
walls i'm sorry verse 11 for the house of israel and the house of juda have dealt very treacherously
against me said the lord they have bellied the lord and said it is not he neither shall evil come
upon us neither shall we see sword or famine so rebellious nations are full of pride and that's
exactly what america has today and that's even what the book of revelation tells us
america will be saying in last times is i sit a queen and them no widow shall see no sorrow
you know how many americans do you know that believe that nothing bad could ever happen to
america you know i'm sure the jews felt the same way they're like oh we're the people of god there's
no way that the Babylonians can come in here take over our kingdom take over Jerusalem and make us
captive for 70 years they probably thought it could never happen to them right but here's the thing
you're america's defense system it doesn't matter how big of a military you have it doesn't matter
how many soldiers you have because you remember what happens when you rebel against god he takes
away your battlements so you can't rely on that stuff anyways but yet america yet the jews yet
maybe some people here have pride in their heart and they think that i can do things you know the
way i want to do them god says that these people are rebellious and that they assume that no evil
can come upon them. Romans 2 11 Romans 2 11 says for there is no respect of persons with god now
this is one of my favorite attributes of god but it's also when you think about it one of the
scariest attributes about god is that god is no respecter of persons that means god can use one
person in just as great as a way as he could use any other person if they're obeying him if they're
not rebellious to him but that same person who maybe does great things for god and has spent
their whole life serving god you know if they rebel against him god's not a respecter of persons
he's going to judge that person as well you know that causes me to have an extreme amount of respect
for the lord but also an extreme amount of fear for god and that's exactly what judah and israel
was lacking and that's exactly what our nation is lacking today is a lack of fear of god you know
this nation mocks god you know it's funny how even even our motto in god we trust is actually
just like a mockery to god because if you go to washington dc you'll see something that says in god
we trust and you look around and there's just all satanic idols it's like in god we trust here's all
my satanic idols you know that's like a mockery to god in and of itself obviously our nation is
a rebellious nation isaiah 40 verse 17 this was a hard pill for me to swallow i was like the most
patriotic person i literally went through this program called patriot academy where i helped
legislators write bills i've done like mock legislative sessions where i've like uh what's
it called presented bills in front of like congress members in texas and in idaho and i
thought it was so cool and i was all for all the patriotism you know and i was so glad i got woken
up from this because instead of me you know burying my talent in the ground of you know
winning souls and and not preaching the bible instead of you know going around and focusing
on politics this truth caused me to use my life to actually preach the gospel instead of preaching
the gospel of republicanism you know and it's funny because when i left that movement i had
some christians tell me that i was like the the servant that was bearing his talent when i
stopped doing politics to start the soul thing though that's a side note but isaiah 40 17 says
all nations before him are as nothing they are counted to him less than nothing in vanity that
was a hard pill for me to swallow for a while but i just want you to let that sink into your ears
all nations before god are as nothing and less than nothing in vanity god does not have an
american flag on his throne okay god does not have the uh israeli flag on his throne okay god's a
lid just a little bit above patriotism he's actually a lot above patriotism but this is
something that christians do not understand today proverbs 16 verse 5 says everyone that is proud
in heart is an abomination to the lord though hand joined in hand he shall not be unpunished
i find it funny that in america since we were all little kids we were taught to have pride in our
hearts for our country but yet the bible tells us that that's going to be something that gives us
the punishment of god so ever since we were little we've been taught to do something that's
going to make god extremely angry you know the pledge of allegiance the national anthem
all these things causes god's punishment and that's obviously what happens to jews too because they
said that nothing can happen to us because we're the nation of israel we're the nation of juda
but yet obviously they were destroyed um jeremiah 5 13 to 14 says and the prophets shall become
wind and the word is not in them thus shall it be done unto them wherefore thus said the lord god
of hosts because he speak this word behold i will make my words in my mouth fire and this people
would and it shall devour them number three rebellious people reject hard preachers i think
it's really cool how he says like when you reject me i'm gonna make your prophets like wind but i'm
gonna make jeremiah's words like fire that's gonna devour people and it's really funny you know miss
rachel was talking about uh this this former pastor of hers how he was kind of jealous that
people in his church were listening to hard preaching and so when he was preaching he would
start like banging on the pulpit saying i'm preaching hard you would literally say i but
that's not hard preaching just because you're banging the pulpit you know what i'm saying but
really and i've heard this guy preach many times really what he was was wind real quiet real weak
he doesn't say he'll become a behemoth wind or a you know a giant you know destroying winds like
they're gonna be like wind but jeremiah is gonna be like fire and his people would that he's gonna
devour with his mouth you know and obviously we see today the rejection of hard preaching
in america not even just by the world that's expected but among baptists over jealousy because
they can't even realize that they have been the ones rebelling against god they've been the ones
that haven't been submitting the way of doing things the way he wanted them to and so when
pastors today see church members want to obey god and want to listen to hard preaching and they
actually like the hard preaching and churches that preach hard are actually full of people
they're full of the spirit of god when they see that stuff they're like all right i'm going to
start to try to preach hard and they start trying to preach hard but they're just like wind or they
don't even try to preach hard so they stay as wind but meanwhile the jeremias of our day are out
there ripping face and their words are like fire and you know we just went to the red hot preaching
conference and there was 219 soul winners on a saturday morning there you know does that sound
like the revival that the old i.p is constantly praying for yeah 217 soul winners on one saturday
morning is a big deal you know and god told these pastors to cry aloud spare not in fact let me
read that real quick isaiah 58 verse 1 cry aloud spare not lift up thy voice like a trumpet and
show my people their transgression and the house of jacob their sin you know hard preaching isn't
just lifting up your voice it's showing your people their sin and that's the part where it
doesn't matter how loud a pastor gets if they are not showing people their sin they're not a hard
preacher you could say that you're a hard preacher but continue to just preach milquetoast messages
like what i talked about this morning the people are just preaching you know the salvation service
over and over and i i went to this guy's church and it's just like yeah he preached on soul winning
that would be like the most fired up you'd ever get but everything else it's like i went there on
easter he was talking about shekinah glory you know it's like when you're talking about the female
aspect of god you're not a hard preacher you're borderline i mean you're going into satanic
doctrine is what you're doing and in a second timothy four two it says preach the word be
instant in season out of season reprove rebuke exhort with all long suffering and doctrine
and look you know some advice i give to you guys at this church is if you've never been in a church
like this before the day is coming where some person preaching here is really going to offend
you and it doesn't matter if you think oh i love hard preaching i've listened to it for five years
it doesn't even matter it still will offend you sometimes something that you're doing will be
stepped on something that you're doing you know will be preached about but you have to just realize
that jeremiah is just obeying god his words are just trying to be fire he's just trying to cry
aloud he's trying to preach the word and be instant in season out of season for your benefit so that
you don't end up like the jews that go into captivity for 70 years or so you don't be like
this weak old ifb who's dying on the blind thing you know you think of some of these old ifb pastors
you know johnny nixon or i don't even know if he's a pastor but it just you guys know who johnny nixon
is yeah born that way ministries basically he's this guy that's paired up with a big church in
texas pastor bob gray where he wrote this book saying that homosexuals are just eunuchs that
are born that way and that they're really good children's workers you want to make sure that
you have them in your church around the children and all this stuff you know you can't exactly say
that that guy's words is like fire that sounds a lot more like wind to me you can't exactly say
that Joel Osteen's words are like fire you know that's a lot more like wind they ask him you know
what do you think about homosexuals well i just like to stay in my lane and let people believe
what they want you know he's never gonna he's never gonna rip face on the facts that's never
going to happen you know he's like wind you know you know you're in a good church when your pastors
preaching and it feels like fire it feels like you're being devoured you know pastor Jimenez
a sermon at the red hot preaching conference just like everyone in that room just felt like
they had just been burned with fire it was it was an incredible sermon if you guys haven't watched
that definitely watch that but Titus go to Titus chapter two i'm sorry first Timothy six two books
before Titus. Titus 2.1 says but speak thou of things which become sound doctrine so pastors
aren't supposed to just speak things that are nice and sweetness in life but they're supposed to speak
things that are sound doctrine. Now if you're new to church you're new to reading the bible you may
not know everything that is sound doctrines that's why you also need to be in your bible you know
checking what your pastor is preaching but the pastor's job is to preach sound doctrine and in
first Timothy six three it says if any man teach otherwise and consent not to wholesome words even
the words of our lord Jesus Christ into the doctrine which is according to godliness he is proud
knowing nothing but doting about questions and stripes of words whereof cometh envy strife
railings evil surmrisings perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth
supposing that gain is godliness from such withdrawal of themself thyself so pastors are
supposed to preach sound doctrine and you as the congregation are to know that if any man teach
otherwise you're to be you're to turn away from them you're not to listen to them and like i said
these people that are that are rejecting god they're proud and think that nothing can happen to them
right there in verse four says he is proud doting about questions and stripes of words you know
this is like all the heretics that have been kicked out of our movement lately they always
want to strive about words you know this guy uh sebastian just got kicked out of sure foundation
baptist church for being for causing division but also for being a full-blown motorist heretic you
know he wants to strive about the word persons persons isn't a biblical word we'll read
hebrews chapter one to find out it is but that that's a good sign that you're dealing with
someone that's not preaching sound doctrine is all they want to do is is uh dote about questions
and stripes of words so go back to jeremiah chapter five jeremiah chapter five in our
bible study here jeremiah chapter five verses 15 through 18 lo i'll bring a nation upon you from
far oh house of israel say the lord it is a mighty nation it is an ancient nation a nation whose
language thou understandest not but thou knowest not neither understandest what they say their
quiver is an open sepulcher they are all mighty men and they shall eat up thine harvest and thy
bread which thy sons and thy daughters should eat they shall eat up thy flocks and thy herds
they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees they shall uh they shall impoverish thy fenced
cities wherein thou trusteth with the sword so another thing we can learn here is that when a
nation rebels against god or you know obviously we could apply all of these to you as an individual
or to your families but specifically when a nation rebels against god what does he do he sends in the
heathen to punish them he sends in the the heathen to punish them he says there in verse 15 i will
bring a nation upon you from far oh house of israel save the lord it is a mighty nation it is an
ancient nation so god is allowing the jews to be overthrown by another wicked country so it's not
like the babylonians are godly he's using the heathen to punish the jews and you know this
reminds me a lot of what's happening in europe today europe today has rejected the gospel europe
today has rejected hard preaching they've embraced this liberal mentality of accepting everything
and what do you see happening to europe today you see them being overrun with hordes of muslims you
have these uh areas in paris called no-go zones this has been confirmed where the police ems
firefighters will not even respond to emergency calls you know not only just because their police
are on our half the time but because these areas are basically run under shria law right now you
know does that sound like the blessing of god and it's because france has rejected the gospel it's
because france has rejected the wisdom of the word of god to the point where they even made a law
recently making it to where you have no age of consent in the nation of france pedophilia is
literally legalized in a country in this world right now you know if you're doubting whether
we're living in perilous times or if we're in that great falling away there's a nation across
the pond that allows pedophilia by law okay that's called the nation that's rejected the lord that's
a nation that has rebelled against the wisdom of god and god is using those muslims right now
in that nation that is just raping their women like crazy murdering people just the crime rates are
just exploding in europe right now because they have embraced the most sick built imaginable you
know and it's so funny to me how the liberals defend islam so much you know but yet the muslims
are over there raping people and restricting women's freedom and restricting all this stuff
but the liberals love it you know and then the one thing the one thing that islam actually does
right which is throwing homosexuals off buildings you know at least islam follows leviticus chapter
20 verse 13 at least muslims kill pedophiles now since a nation has decided no laws against
pedophiles totally legal to be against pedophiles so now he's going to bring those same people that
the liberals love so much to come and destroy them to come and and and ravage their families
their women their daughters their children because these muslims are a bunch of fags themselves and
a bunch of pedophiles themselves you know that's right right there is an effect of rebelling against
god as a nation and if you look around today that is the exact same path that america is going down
you know i i lived in boise for seven years and i didn't realize how bad it is in other parts in
this country this is like a little safe zone of semi-conservatism but i'm telling you go
to portland and there's like stickers and stuff about pedophilia how it's normal how it's fine
they in portland you have like gay pride nude parades you have all these you know all these
what's it called the the man boy love association and all these things in portland you know it's
nothing like how it is here this nation is about this close to legalizing pedophilia and you know
you think oh you're insane well you know what did you know that in idaho in 2003 the laws on the
book was it was still illegal to be a homosexual in the state in 2003 now was that enforced no but
as of 2003 not only was it just illegal to have a gay marriage gay marriage right it's not gay
nothing happy about it but it was illegal to be a sodomite okay i went to a law enforcement
program when i lived here for three years and my law enforcement instructor was probably like 40
in his 40s no no older than 50 and he was an aida county sheriff's deputy and he told me that
during his career right here in boise idaho he arrested people on the charge of sodomy right
here in boise idaho less than 20 years ago people were being arrested for being a faggot so don't
tell me that our nation is not close to accepting you know pedophilia when just 20 years ago you
couldn't even be a homo in this town and now sometimes you know the governor of idaho is
lining up the state capitol with the rainbow flag and idaho has its pride parades things have
changed a lot in 20 years haven't they right things have changed a lot even since 2010 when
i moved here but why don't you come with me to portland next weekend and you'll really believe
what i'm saying okay so if america does not submit itself to the word of god if our churches continue
to rebel against the way god is telling us to do things if they won't preach hard against the
homos if they won't preach hard against pedophilia you know what god's gonna do he's gonna send in
heathen into this nation that are a bunch of pedophiles themselves and you know what pastors
that won't preach against homosexuality and will not preach what romans chapter one says that all
homos are filled with all unrighteousness which means all homos are pedophiles you know what they're
putting their own children in danger they're putting the future of their own grandchildren
in danger and the future of all the people in their congregation in danger because this is what
happens to the nation of juda this is what's happening to france and this is exactly what's
going to happen god put this in a bio in the bible for a reason to show us that he uses heathen to
punish nations sometimes jeremiah 5 19 jeremiah 5 19 and it shall come to pass when you shall say
wherefore do with the lord our god all these things unto us then shalt thou answer them
like is he have forsaken me and sure and served strange gods in your land so shall you serve
strangers in a land that is not yours declare this in the house of jacob and publish it in juda saying
here now oh foolish people without understanding which have eyes and see not which have ears and
hear not fear ye not me saith the lord will ye not tremble at my presence which have placed the sand
for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree that it cannot pass it and though the and though
the waves there have tossed themselves yet can they not prevail though they roar yet they cannot
pass over it but these people have a revolting and rebellious heart they're revolted and gone
neither say they in their heart let us now fear the lord they giveth reign will the former and the
latter in a season he reserved unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest your iniquities
have turned away these things and your sins have withholding good things from you verse okay so
look where it says there and um sorry here let me look here okay in verse 19 the the part of that
i really want to focus on is where it says so shall you serve strangers in a land that is not yours
so not only will god you know send a heathen into your nation to punish you number five here is
that when a nation rebels against god he restricts their freedom so after he sent in the heathen to
punish them the thing that god did right after that is he had him serve strangers he took away
their freedom the Babylonians literally you know took the jews and made them just like they were
back in egypt like they were before you know before they started complaining to lord so much
but this is exactly what's starting to happen in america with free speech and with hate laws um
sure most of you guys know this but your pastor pastor Jimenez has had his youtube account shut
down with zero warning he had zero strikes on his youtube page no not like any warning whatsoever
just permanently deleted for a hate speech and the video was over Calvinism of all things it
wasn't even that like crazy of a video it was just a video like a two-minute clip exposing
Calvinism and YouTube's like yeah this is graphic and violent content is their reason graphic and
violent content so what that really means what that really means is that YouTube had it out for
past four minutes is what it means it means that YouTube wanted to take him off at any cost because
news flash talking about Calvinism is not graphic nor violent okay so this is a this is what you
call conspiracy okay right now the Jews and the fags running YouTube has a conspiracy against
hard preaching and against the word of God you know we saw it with Alex Jones which obviously
Alex Jones is unsaved he's not of God but they're testing the waters to see how they can restrict
free speech in this country you know the same day as Pastor Jimenez gets shut down uh Pastor
Johnson and uh what's his church's name I think he's in Michigan yeah in Michigan they shut down
his live streaming the same day for hate speech you know and it's going to happen to every single
one of our churches but you know we could start to see how God is restricting the freedom of our
nation we're at least on the way there um you have all these places in Portland you know they call
them like safe spaces all these signs we're like this is a safe zone you know this park does not
discriminate you know like like what are you talking about no one's so weird the second
Corinthians uh 317 says now the Lord is that spirit and where the spirit of the Lord is there
is liberty so I hate to break it you know to anyone who served in the military and I'm not
against you if you serve in the military there's a lot of great Christians that serve the Lord that
are soul winners that served in the military but I hate to break it to you no soldier has ever bought
my freedom I'm sorry to say that no soldier has ever provided freedom for our nation because you
know why the Lord is that spirit and where the spirit of the Lord is there is liberty okay not
where the Marine Corps is there's liberty not where the Navy is there is liberty not where you know
the armies of Judah and the armies of Israel is there is liberty because guess what the spirit
of the Lord departed that nation and they were taken captive by the Babylonians so and you say
well America has so much firepower nuclear firepower it has all these jets yeah but did
you forget the part where God takes away your battlements when you rebel against him did you
forget the part that God can wipe away all of our defenses with the snap of his fingers did you
forget you know in your own life when you you try to set up these battlements for yourself you have
this big bank account you're trusting in that you know to provide for you do you know that God can
take that away from you in a heartbeat he can take away your freedom from you in a heartbeat
and that's exactly what we're starting to see happen to our nation today you know the only
reason I truly believe this I believe that the only reason that we have any freedom in any place in
this world is because of saved Bible-believing Christians preaching the gospel to the lost
because that's where the spirit of the Lord is and that's where God is going to allow liberty
to prevail so you know the more churches like this that we have the more the longer we're going to
have our freedom in America you know but the more old IFB refuses to preach the gospel like we talked
about this morning or the more that the old IFB refuses to preach hard on the sins of our nation
like Jeremiah did but less and less freedom we'll have until finally you know it ushers in the end
times and the island of Christ is here and it's time for the tribulation okay and obviously we know
that that time is coming okay and we know that we cannot do anything to totally prevent that time
but one thing we can do is we can get that spirit of the Lord revived in our communities at least
right here in Boise Idaho and God can at least preserve the freedom of Boise for a little longer
right at least God in Vancouver Washington when he looks down and he sees Sure Foundation Baptist
Church preaching hard on sin and winning souls to Christ at least he could preserve our freedom
there a little longer you know and that's obviously what we want we want to stay God's
hand of wrath on our nation for as long as possible why not so that we can just live comfortable lives
but that's so we can see as many people in heaven as we possibly can before the end times
you know God has a recipe for how to preserve freedom you know it's not only just by soul
winning it's not only just by preaching hard the second chronicle 714 says if my people
which are called by my name shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their
wicked ways then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land
you know god didn't say if my republican party will build a wall and will get rid of welfare
and will do all this then i will heal their land if donald trump is in the office that's not what
the bible says i'm sorry okay the bible says that if my people actually turn and repent and pray and
seek god's face and soul win and preach hard then god will look down from heaven and heal your land
okay and when you're when he looks down at your family he's not looking to see what kind of fiscal
policies you enforce in your home he doesn't care what you think about immigration he doesn't care
what you think about welfare he looks down and says does this family fear me does this family
repent does this family seek my face and pray and then try to have the spirit of the lord in that
family that's the family that i'm going to bless that's the family that i'm going to give freedom
to go back to jeremiah chapter number five you're still there verse 26 to 31 getting close to being
done here for among my people are found wicked men they lay wait as he has said it snares they set
a trap they catch men as a cage is full of birds so are their houses full of deceit therefore they
become great and waxen rich they're waxen fat they shine yay they overpass the deeds of the wicked
they judge not the cause the cause of the fatherless yet they prosper in the right of the needy do they
not judge shall i not visit for these things sayeth the lord shall not my soul be avenged
on such a nation as this a wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land the prophets
prophesied falsely and the priests bear rule by their means and my people love to have it so and
what would you do in the end lastly rebellious nations are plagued with false prophets and you
can even see that right here in your own in your home state you know you have bill grady started
his church in northern Idaho total whack job dispensationalist you have treasure valley baptist
church that preaches another gospel it preaches eight gospels you have sam gibb you know the
the president of the bible college there you know when you're at a church and god sends you sam gibb
your nation your church is cursed from god okay sam gibb sits there and says that jesus isn't my
messiah all right that's a curse from god when he sends you some old lunatic like sam gibb you know
i don't know if all of you know this when i went to church by baptist church i went there for three
years and i never had any problems there now granted i was a babe in christ and i did not
do everything right and i did talk to some people about you know my beliefs about end times but
you know once i learned not to do that i definitely did not do it again but i remember you know my
third year going there i get a call from a friend of mine and she's like hey this guy's trying to
tell me that the rapture comes after the tribulation i need you to help me out i'm like why i'm like
i'm sorry you know the bible says that the rapture comes after the tribulation not before and it's
just like oh well that's wrong but hang up i get a call from the pastor of trader valley baptist
church a few days later or from the secretary there to have a meeting with the pastor and you
know invites me in asking small talk for a while and he goes well i hear that you've been listening
to this pastor in arizona i was like yeah i got saved by pastor menes on one of the documentaries
and i've been listening pastor hamerson and pastor menes ever since i've gotten saved and
they tell me how to go soloing and i've really been blessed by their preaching and he goes okay
well you know pastor harrison teaches something different about end times prophecy than what our
church believes and he teaches that rapture comes after tribulation i was like yeah you know i'm
not gonna lie to you i believe 100 that rapture comes after the tribulation he goes well i
appreciate your candor when he goes i said this exact these exact words he goes you know i don't
know much about the subject this is a pastor okay of a huge church okay you guys have been there
that's a big church isn't it and he says i don't know much about the rapture well why are you a
pastor then you know why are you calling in your office talking to me about the rapture if you're
just going to tell me you don't know about the rapture well here's why he goes i'd like you to
get together with dr gimp and i'm like yeah you know i'm probably not going to be interested
you know i've heard both sides and he goes no i insist you get you get with him so i have sam
get blowing at my phone every week you need to get coming with me you need to come meet with me and
i'm like with all due respect i've heard both positions i agree with what pastor anderson teaches
i believe the bible teaches a post-trip rapture i'm not interested in wasting your time or mine
he's like no i insist pastor's like i insist you meet with them and i was like well look if we're
going to meet about this i'm going to meet with you because you're my pastor sam gimp is not my
pastor and i was like it's your responsibility to teach me the bible if i'm wrong about something
okay and he goes okay i can do that and then the next week is when sam gimp came out with his
whole thing about uh jesus wasn't supposed to be jesus' real name they disobeyed god by naming him
jesus he should have been named emmanuel i was like i'm done left that church never met with
that pastor never will again as far as i'm concerned that that pastor is a false prophet
because he teaches hyper dispensationalism anyone that believes in hyper dispensationalism is not
saved mark my words they're not saved because they preach a different gospel and the bible says if
any man preaches any other gospel now which we have preached unto you let him be accursed okay
if you're teaching me that people were saved differently in the old testament that shows me
you do not understand that human beings can never be righteous enough on their own to be saved you
don't even understand the fallen state of man how can you understand the gospel you don't even
understand the grace of god that he imputes righteousness to us by your faith in christ
you don't even understand that now if you think that's ever been possible so anyone that believes
in dispensationalism is not safe period pastor rick demichael is a false prophet sam gimp is a
false prophet you know why because boise idaho unfortunately has been a spiritually rebellious
place and right now boise idaho is reaping for what it is sown this place although it may be
conservative in its laws it is a place that is devoid of good preaching and of good churches
that is why this church is so important that it succeeds here because i'm telling you every
single other church in boise idaho has been a failure and is not preaching what god commands
them to be preaching and so that's what happens god sends in false prophets to punish them you
know like i said sam gibb is a punishment from god rick demigod is a punishment from god you know
mormonism in boise idaho is a punishment from god it's huge here and i was telling some of you this
i believe that you guys are gonna have to spend a few years soul winning with the long-term goals
in mind because i don't think it's gonna be the most receptive area at first i think you guys have
to break up the final ground here because there's been so many false prophets for so long causing
so much damage to the people in this place that you're just gonna have to be soul winning for
the long run here you're gonna have to be keeping that in mind when you go sometimes weeks without
getting people saved when i saw in here sometimes i went weeks without getting people saved it's
because there's a lot of false doctrine in this town that you guys are responsible for breaking
up and for making a difference in so just because i'm out of time here uh just in conclusion i want
you to understand that all these principles that god teaches us in jeremiah chapter 5 on a rebellious
nation is just as applicable to you as an individual and just as applicable to your family okay when
you rebel against god you know you're gonna have your battlements stripped america is gonna have
our battlements stripped if you rebel against god your family's gonna have its battlements
stripped you're not gonna be able to trust in your bank account anymore because god's gonna strip
it from you if you rebel against him you know a rebellious nation is full of pride and of course
we know that if you're prideful god resists you james 4 6 god resisted the proud but give it grace
under the humble rebellious nation number three rejects hard preachers you know so if you're if
you're one that later on you know rejects the pastor here just realize it's because you became
revolting and rebellious and you're going to get judged for it number four god uses a heathen the
heathen to punish a rebellious rebellious nation you know you haven't seen that a whole lot yet
in Boise Idaho thank god you know we're starting to see it in portland france has definitely seen
the depths of of what that can lead to and of course israel and juda they they saw how that
works for them in the bible number five when a nation rebels against god he restricts their
freedom we're seeing that today freedom of speech is very close or at least is being attacked very
heavily and number six rebellious nations will be plagued with false prophets so keep these things
in mind you know when you're reading about when you're reading through jeremiah and you're seeing
the judgments that he's pronouncing on a rebellious and a revolting nation just realize that those
same judgments can come to you and your family if you don't trust the lord with all your heart
be not into that understanding and all by ways acknowledge him and he shall direct the paths
that's the way you got to look at it don't become a rebellious and a revolting people let's pray lord
thank you so much for this day i thank you for the freedom that we do have left in this country lord
and we're thankful to be in this country that has freedom to preach the gospel i pray that
we would continue to do the best we can to reach the loss of the gospel so that freedom can endure
here for a little longer lord please bless this church and all that they do in jesus name i pray
amen please turn to page number 27 page number 27 the old rugged cross
