So again, let's take a look at this definition here. You're in John chapter number 8. And in John chapter number 8, Jesus is preaching to a mixed multitude here. Some people believe on him, and at the same time, obviously, others do not. And they decide they're going to challenge him. So let's pick it up in verse 42. So, Jesus says this. Verse 42, John 8, 42. Jesus said unto them, If God were your father, ye would love me. For I proceeded forth, and came from God, neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Okay, so, obviously, these people had challenged him and say, we were never in any kind of bondage. We were never in any kind of trouble. And Jesus is saying, oh, actually, you're in more trouble than you realize. Look at verse 43. Jesus says this. Why do ye not understand my speech? Even because ye cannot hear my word. Now, let's stop right there. Why do ye not understand why Jesus is saying this? These people are right in front of him. They can hear the words coming out of his mouth, but they cannot hear, if you know what I mean. They cannot hearken. They cannot understand his meaning. Okay? And that is a hallmark of a reprobate. Okay? Someone who is rejected. And we'll talk about that here in a moment. Look at verse 44. Jesus says this. This is a statement by our Savior. Jesus Christ. He is the one that says this. Not me, but obviously we agree wholeheartedly. Verse 44. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lust of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own, for he is a liar, and the father of it. Okay? So our definition here, the definition that I came up with to combat this lizard people doctrine, is a combination of the word reprobate, which means what? Rejected. Okay? And what Jesus says here. Ye are of your father the devil. Okay? What is the devil referred to in Genesis chapter 3? A serpent. Okay? And other places in the Bible is often regarded as a serpent. A serpant. What would we say in today's modern English? We would say reptile. It's a reptile. Okay? So therefore, when you combine those two you have a reptilian. A biblical reptilian. No lizard. No iguana. No crocodile. No alligator. None of that stuff. Okay? No chameleon. Okay? Things breed forth after their own kind, and you see that here in this passage. Jesus looks at these people and he says, ye are of your father the devil. Okay? That's what he's telling them. Now, we are of our father the Lord Jesus Christ. He is our father. Obviously I believe in the Trinity. Okay? Don't take that and make a TikTok video. You know what I'm saying. These three are one. Jesus is fully man, fully God. So when we are born again, we become indwelt with the Holy Spirit. We are placed into the body of Christ. We are saved forever. We can never not be the child of God. Okay? Well you have to understand it is the same exact thing for a reprobate or as I like to call them, reptilians. Okay? That's what we're going to call them. So, Jesus says what? Ye are of your father the devil. What does that mean? That means that these people have no hope. Okay? So, what is the battle that's waging today? The battle is between obviously those of the kingdom, the kingdom of God, and those that are of the kingdom of the devil. Okay? And what are the attributes of people that are of the kingdom of the devil? Well, they like to call and they like to threaten. They like to twist the truth and all sorts of things. They like to, yeah, threaten harm, you know, murder. And it's so funny because they're just like you hateful bigot and all this stuff and just saying the most, I mean, horrific things you could possibly imagine. You know? And it's just like, wow, how can you not see what you're saying? How can you not just look in the mirror and understand that all you're doing is proving my point. These guys are so proud because they got our Google rating from like 4.3 all the way down to last I checked a little while ago it was like 2.7 or 2.6 something like that. Yeah, amen, because I'd love that. We've had visitors come in this church who have loved this church as a result of hateful views. I mean, how many people came through those doors last year that were like, I'm here because of the reviews. Like the good ones? No, the bad ones. The ones that said you guys are against the mass, that you guys are against pedophiles and all this stuff, you know, and it's like well, amen, praise God. I like that. You guys are making my life easier because now we don't have to have people wasting their time coming in here, oh, I thought this was a new evangelical, we just love everyone and everyone's welcome in here type church. Now you know the truth. It's not. But obviously a lot of those comments are lies because if you read them, a lot of them are like he preaches that there's lizard people and it's like, yeah, thanks for proving my point, okay. John 8.44 and the lust of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning. I can't let you look at all these obviously these voice messages that I've gotten recently, but they're all basically about murdering. Just I'm going to kill you. You're going to die. And it's funny because a lot of them will start off all calm, like you don't display the characteristics of Jesus and you know you really should think this and then it's just like a 180 just like die I wish I could kill you. I hope you get bombed and you know it's just typical. It's typical Genesis 19 behavior. That's all that it is. And thanks guys. Keep them coming because you're just proving my point. And also don't forget this. You know if anything does happen it's like, hey, you might want to realize that someone somewhere can trace your number. Because I realize that a lot of these numbers are fake and all you people you know threatening to do all this harm it's going to catch up to you. You want to talk about things catching up to me? Well you might want to take a look in the mirror because it's going to catch up to you, pal. So let's go back to Romans chapter number one. Romans chapter number one. And let's take a look at verse 18 again. So Romans chapter one verse 18 says this one more time for the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who, don't miss this, who hold the truth in unrighteousness. Very, very important for us to understand. Be weary. Be cautious of people that are constantly trying to reverse the truth. Like Mrs. TikTok who made that video against me. Basically trying to imply that I'm advocating that we as a congregation go out into the community and commit murder. Why would I put that on YouTube? I mean how come none of these people have asked that question? Is there really anybody out there that dumb? Well I don't even know why I just said that because there are. These people. Think about it. These people are that dumb. But look at the beginning of the verse. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven. This means there is something that we can see that is revealed from God from heaven about these types of people. And please keep in mind I'm not just talking about the Sodomites tonight. I'm talking about false prophets. I'm talking about all people who have rejected truth. So this sermon is kind of a broad topic. It's not just about the sods, the sulfur munchers, whatever we want to call them tonight. So, number one the thing that we need to understand and keep asking as we go through this is what does that look like? The wrath of God is revealed from heaven the Bible says. Well, let's take a look at the first attribute. The first thing that I want to bring up is their behavior. Okay. Look at verse 22. So back up and look at verse number 22. Look at their behavior. The Bible says this. Professing themselves to be wise they became fools. Okay. You just go to our Google page after this and look at our reviews and this will come right to light. Especially if you've watched the full sermon or you were here for the sermon that I preached about reptilians. That will manifest that statement there. These people profess themselves to be so smart, so loving, so co-exist, so non-judgmental, so wise, but they are actually fools in the things that they're saying. So just before the service is talking with the guys out front and this lady with a 208 area code which is our area code here she calls the church phone. Of course I'm not going to answer the church phone. You think I'm dumb? I just don't care. I don't care to argue with reprobates. It's a waste of time. It's a waste of oxygen. I've got better things to do. We've got projects going on. I don't need that. But going back to the statement here, they became fools. So this lady calls and she's talking all somewhat calm and then all of a sudden she starts saying, I hope you're really concerned. I hope you're really worried because word on the street says that your search history is going to be found out and it's going to be proven that you like little kids and men and this and that. And then she goes on with her ramblings. I'm just laughing. And then all of a sudden she just flips. Just like they always do. Basically pulls the bring out the men that came in onto this night that we may know them. That's where this all leads to. And so she starts just freaking out on the voicemail there and stuff. And it's like what is going on with these people? Think about this for a second. They spend so much of their emotional energy calling our church and other churches like ours spewing out their hate only okay for them not okay for us. And the best that they can do the absolute best thing that they can come up with is to accuse me and us of being just like them. It's like don't you have anything like original? Can't you come up with something like just better than that? It's like you are proving our point. All you can do is call me and say how hateful I am. How wrong I am. How intolerant I am. How unloving I am. And then call me a queer. And it's like I thought you were defending the queers. What's going on here? Look at the verse. Professing themselves to be wise they became fools. Okay if you are over the age of 20 and you really want to see I'll select some messages that you can see and this will come right to life for you. But I think you get the point. You understand. Now look at this here. Verse 23. And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man. Into birds and four footed beasts and creeping things. So notice that there. We are going to come back to this here towards the end of the sermon. But it says that they changed the glory of the uncorruptible God. Our God is uncorruptible. No matter how much these people hate the law of God. Hate the Bible. But say they love it. It doesn't matter. They cannot change God. They cannot change the events that happened to Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis 19. And they cannot change how we are told to look at those events in the book of Jude. I mean from the beginning of the Bible to the very end of the Bible the story is the same. We serve an uncorruptible God who when someday he does come back and rule with a rod of iron. Guess what? He will not allow pride month nor the alphabet soup people. The reptilians. Which is what we call them here. Look at verse number 24. It says this Wherefore, now don't miss this. You guys know this but let's go through it again. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lust of their own hearts to dishonor their own bodies between themselves. So he's talking about the worst kind of reptilian here. These are the worst types here and you know what this means. Look at verse 25. Who changed the truth of God into a lie and worshiped and served the creature more than the creator. Who is blessed forever. Amen. So the reason why these alphabet people are so mad at me for calling them reptilians is because they worship the creature more than the creator and in their hearts they know that God has stamped his law on their heart which is a testimony on a daily basis against their unlawful deeds and they're upset because they realize they got that law. They realize that they've been given over. They realize that the things that they say and do are wicked and they look at the thing, the creature that they worship and they just can't take it. They just can't take it because they know that creature is better than they are. Those beasts are better things, better creations than they are and that is why they get so upset at me calling them reptilians. Now if they really understood the definition it might just kind of lower the intensity just a little bit because a lot of them do think that I'm calling them lizard people like that's not true. We don't believe in that. Now let me read this for you here. So brother David found this. So this is an article from LGBTQ Did I miss any letters here? You know the rainbow, the soup people, right? It says LGBTQ something nation, okay? And it's an article that was written yesterday about us, about me. It says pastor preaches that all gay men are reptilians and should be put to death. Now when you look at that title there you know it's like that's not what I said. You're changing the truth of God into a lie even just by that title there but as much as I hate them I got to give them some props because you know David was reading the article and they actually got the context of what I really said. They got it better than that TikTok girl, okay? So you got, you know, don't think I'm siding with you guys but I will give credit to you where credit's due and at least they had the honesty, believe it or not, they had the honesty to actually go back and listen to what I said. Now this title's just clickbait because I never said that, okay? Sonomites are male or female, okay? It doesn't matter. And then they got me quoted saying this and this is going to be the bottom line of the year. I'm not saying that's going to be the bottom line of the year. Who remembers me saying this? I'm not saying that every reptilian is a sodomite but all sodomites are reptilians. Hey, that's good, man. Amen. That's exactly what I said. We need to get that on the wall, gold-plated. That's the bottom line of this year. And it really is awesome when you understand the true definition of reptilian which you found right here and it needs to go on the dictionary so I need some help with that, guys. You need to start submitting for some definition changes, alright? Alright, cool. So enough of them fools. I got to get that off my phone but anyways, look at verse 26. It says for this cause God gave them up unto vile affections for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature. You know what that means, women becoming dykes, lesbians. Look at verse 27, it says and likewise also the men leaving the natural use of the woman, burning their last one toward another, men with men working that which is unseemly and we've broken that down all kinds of different ways and it says and receiving in themselves that recompense of their air which was me. So when you see these people and you have to dialogue with these people, you need to understand that inside of that person, okay, inside of that person is this, is the recompense of their air. They're filled with disease, okay? And even if they come at you, well I've been tested and they like to let us know that well I've been tested and I don't have any diseases they're lying but they have a mental disease, okay? And you know what that is reprobate mind rejected they cannot, they have become fools but notice as we've been reading this about their behavior how they act notice that God doesn't say you, you and you, you're gonna be a sodomite, you, you and you, you're gonna be saved. No, these people made the decision in their heart to reject truth. They made the decision to reject God and God obviously can see inside of every person and knows when the time is right to say okay you're done. I'm giving you over to those affections. I'm giving you over to that and you can never come back. At that point those people become the children of the devil, right? The serpent, the reptile and they act just like daddy. They act just like daddy devil is what they do. That is how they operate. Go to John chapter number 12. John chapter number 12. So we're gonna take a look at something else here. We'll get off that Romans 1 stuff for a little bit but still talking about reptilians, okay? People that are not saved. People that have rejected truth. People that are reprobate concerning all types of truth, okay? John chapter number 12. Look at verse 36. Look at what Jesus says here. He says this, while you have light, believe in the light that you may be the children of light. So you stop right there, okay? What does that tell you? What does that say to you? While you have light, believe in the light that you may be the children of light. Does that sound like you have until your deathbed to make that decision? Not at all. Everybody has a window and it's different for everyone. Everybody's got this window in which they have the opportunity to take that measure of faith that God has given them and place it on Christ, okay? That's what that's saying. And he's saying you don't know when this day will be done. When your time will be up. Look at the rest of the verse. These things spake Jesus and departed and did hide himself from them. Look at verse 37. But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him. And this is something that's always kind of blown my mind. You know, to watch somebody. I mean, insert yourself back in this culture, back in this time here. You know, where food is scarce. Medicine is scarce. All these different things are scarce. There's death is just common. I mean, it's just not like the United States of America. And then comes along somebody who's preaching powerful truth. Who's healing people with his words. Who's making food from very little and just doing all these different miracles. Things that cannot be explained. Things that cannot be denied. But yet they look at that and they say there's got to be a catch. There's something wrong with that guy. I don't believe it. What in the world could cause someone to get like that? Well, look at verse 38. It says this. That the saying so this is the reason why they could not believe on Christ. Okay. Verse 38 is the reason that the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled. Which he spake, Lord who hath believed our report and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed. Now that, if that doesn't speak biblical preservation then I don't know what does. But look at verse 39. Therefore what do we always say therefore means? For that reason. Okay. So because Isaiah prophesied this from the mouth of the Lord therefore they could not believe. Because as Esaias said again he hath blinded their eyes and hardened their heart that they should not see with their eyes. Nor understand with their heart and be converted and I should heal them. We need to understand the harsh reality and the facts that are laid out very clear for us in the Bible. There are people alive and we run into them all the time. Okay. And you say yeah but I thought only sodomites could be saved. No, no. It's all types of people that reject truth. Okay. It doesn't say that these people here were sodomites. A lot of them were just Pharisees, scribes, Sadducees, whatever. You know. Just people that just rejected the truth. And what does it say? That God blinded those people so that they could not be converted. Meaning so that they could not be saved. Okay. And what is an attribute of that type of person? Well it's their behavior. Are you talking with, are you dealing with somebody who professes to be wise but everything they say everything they do is absolutely 100% foolish. If you are then there's a good chance that they fit this bill here. And don't let anybody tell you, oh that was just that specific group of people right there. That doesn't apply today. Because it certainly does apply today. If it didn't, why do we have Romans chapter number one? Why do we have Jude? Why do we have Revelation? I mean this truth is found consistently throughout the entire Bible. One more time. Verse 40. He. Who is the he? That is God. What has he done? He has blinded their eyes. Okay. Now what did it say a few verses before? It says though they, look at verse 37, but though he had done so many miracles before them yet they believed not on him. They saw the miracles didn't they? But yet here it says he has blinded their eyes. So understand it. These people can profess to be smart. Profess to be wise. They can stare truth in the face and reject it. There is literally a movement out there today to fight against basic truth like two plus two equals four. There are just a growing number of people out there that are trying to make a case that it's not always four. That sometimes two plus two can be five. And you say that's preposterous. That is absolutely crazy. I agree with you. But those same people will also tell you, you know what? Just because a woman was born a woman doesn't mean she's a woman. She's however she feels. You feel like a guy you can be a guy. You feel like a dog you can be a dog. You feel like a lizard you can be a lizard. You can be whatever your heart desires. Look that's foolishness is what that is. That is absolutely positively absurd. Look at verse 41. These things set his eyes when he saw his glory and spake of him. Now why do you think that verse is there? To give you the importance to give you the understanding that this is fact. Some people have pushed God so far that they become reprobate concerning the faith. They cannot be saved. That doesn't mean they go out and join the pride parade. Right? But it does mean that they're not going to get saved. They've been rejected. They've been given over to a reprobate mindset as well. And then you know I'll say this. Once you go down that road I mean there's no guarantee which avenue you're going to take. You know that little maze we used to play when we were kids with a little ball a little steel ball and you got to kind of shake it to the end. You know sometimes it goes down the wrong path or goes this way goes that way. That's how this thing works. You become a reprobate. You become that steel ball. And the devil's kind of doing this. And I want some over here. I want some over here. So just keep that in mind. Which you say why bring that out? Well to consistently give us that urgency that we need right? We do need it. We don't want to push people but we do need to let people know hey you know while the light's with you while we're at your door while you're contemplating these things while you're not even disagreeing with us you know might be wise to just consider how important this is to make the decision today because you don't know what's going to happen tomorrow. You know you could something could happen to you or even worse you could wind up going down this road. Okay. Verse 42 Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him lest they should be put out of the synagogue for they love the praise of men more than the praise of God. And so we need to also understand there are always going to be people like that. There are people who live in this community that wholeheartedly agree with the doctrines that we preach here. 100 percent right? But they're not going to come here for fear. And we don't want to like dog them and be like you know you're a reptile you're a we don't want to be like that. Go to John 19 John chapter number 19 John chapter number 19 So again why is this important? Well it's going to be point number two of the sermon which is because of this. Okay so number one I said you know how is the wrath of God revealed from heaven? Well it's revealed in many different ways but number one it's revealed in their behavior okay. It's revealed because they profess themselves to be wise but they become fools. If you want a real life example not only do you have to look at the phone but I mean just go on Fox News for example. And just go look at the house speaker. Just go look at the White House spokesperson. Go look at the transportation guy. Go look at the secretary of health or whatever it is okay. And listen to the things that they say. It's an absolute freak show is what it is okay. And you will get a crystal clear picture of what I'm talking about. Their behavior is hallmark. Now number two it's the fact that they can't believe. That's really what we saw here in John chapter 12 right. We saw their behavior. We saw that they saw the miracles and they just were like I don't believe it. I just don't care. Don't want anything to do with it. We think you're here of your own accord Jesus. We don't like you. Okay. But number two they can't believe okay. This is something we need to understand. You see why is this important. Here's why this is important okay. Because people are accusing us right now and have always accused us of degrading the cross. They'll say your pastor preaches that Jesus didn't die for the sins of the whole world. That's what they'll say. They'll say your pastor is saying that okay. You're saying that Jesus didn't die for the sins of the sodomites. That's what you're saying. Well John 19 30 let's let's take a look at the response. Let's take a look at how we respond to those types of questions. John 19 30 says this. When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar so he's on the cross here about to give up the ghost. Look what it says. He said it is finished and he bowed his head and gave up the ghost. So what did he say right before he died? It is finished. Well what is that? It's the sacrifice of the world. It's the greatest sacrifice known to man throughout all eternity is what that was. You know what that was? That was him paying in full the sin debt. The sin debt for the whole world. The beginning of the world to the very end of the world. The debt. You know what he's not doing? He's not dying for the endorsement of these things. Big difference. Go to 1 John chapter number 2. Some of you know where we're going but this is very important here. Jesus said it is finished. The payment for the debt of the sins of the world is what was finished. What was completed. You say why is that important? You'll see that here in a second. Look at verse 2. 1 John 2. Look at verse 2. It says this. And he that is talking about Christ and he is the propitiation for our sins and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. Does that mean that all people are going to heaven? Absolutely not. What do you have to do to go to heaven? You have to believe. Can reptilians believe? No they cannot. Because God has taken that right that opportunity that window if you will that he gave them he took that away from them. And here it is very clear that he is the satisfaction he is the full payment. He is the it is finished for the sin debt of the entire world. That blows these repent of your sins people right out of the water. Because it's impossible. He paid the debt. The only thing left to do is to believe if you can 2 Corinthians 5 19 says this. It says to wit that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself not imputing their trespasses unto them and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. So when we go out soul winning that's what we're doing. We're trying to let people know that hey it is finished. These dead works that you're going around doing this human achievement this plan of probation if you will is completely false. We have salvation. We have the gospel. We have good news. He paid the debt. All you have to do is believe. That is the word of reconciliation. But notice what it says there. He is not imputing their trespasses unto them. So why is it for example that the Sodomite reptilians cannot be saved. It's because they can't believe. It's not because oh Jesus didn't pay their sin. No no. He died for the sin debt. He died for the sin debt of the entire world. Saved and lost. It has to be that way so that the only thing a person can do is to become converted. To become born again. To believe and be saved which these people cannot do. But what Jesus did not do is make all sin equal. What he did not do is take his law that he gave his nation in the Old Testament and say I was just playing. That was just for them guys back then. When I come back and roll with a rod of iron it's really like a balloon animal. It's just like a foam sword. Anything goes. Because there's nothing wrong. All sin has been paid for. You can do whatever you want. To the world. That's not why he came. That is not why he died. He has standards. And I prove to you beyond the shadow of doubt last week that when Jesus is in charge of a nation you do not have pride month. You do not have minor attracted persons. You do not have reprobates. They are not tolerated. You say that means Jesus is intolerant. Yep. He sure is. And we are our Father. We are of our Father. The Lord Jesus Christ. The God of heaven. The one who made the heavens and the earth. Who spoke these words and preserved them for us. We are of him and we want to follow his word because that is our reasonable service. So go back to verse 12 real quick. So what's the deal again here? Why bring this up? Why say this? Again one more time. Verse 39. All because of this. Therefore they could not believe because it is I say again. He hath blinded their eyes and hardened their heart that they should not see with their eyes nor understand with their heart and be converted and I should heal them. These types of people here are running the government. These types of people here are springing up everywhere. And I told you why before. It's because there is a lack of real saved born again Bible believing Christians that actually can assemble and go out and get people saved. How many soul ending churches are in the world do you think? The sad part about that is you could probably count them. You could probably count them worldwide. You know I mean that's crazy. Now that doesn't mean just you know doom and gloom and we have no hope. No. We can do great exploits for our God. And we will do great exploits for our God. So quick recap. Number one. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness. What does that mean? How is it revealed? Well it's revealed in the reptilians behavior. Number two it's revealed in the fact that they cannot believe but you turn to second Timothy chapter three and I'll read for you Romans 1 25 number three it's this Romans 1 25. So you go to second Timothy 3. Romans 1 25 says this. We already read it but it says who changed the truth of God into a lie and worshipped and served the creature more than the creator who was blessed forever. Amen. So number three is their exchange. How they exchange truth on a consistent basis for a lie. They're consistently exchanging that truth. That's what they're doing. That's what Paul's telling us here in Romans 1. Now here's a perfect example. We're going to take a look at this here. Second Timothy 3 look at verse number 8. So Paul tells Timothy this. He says now verse 8. Now as Janus and Jambres withstood Moses so do these also resist the truth. So people like them. Men of corrupt minds reprobate concerning the faith. But they shall proceed no further. Their what? Their folly shall be manifest unto all men as theirs also was. So leave your place there and go to Exodus chapter number seven. We're getting close to being done here. Exodus chapter number 7. Exodus chapter number 7. Look at verse number 10. Actually back up to verse number 8. Look what it says here. It says this. It says and the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron saying when Pharaoh shall speak unto you saying show a miracle for you then thou shalt say unto Aaron take thy rod and cast it before Pharaoh and it shall become a serpent. Now let's stop right there. Now if I saw that today I'd be kind of curious. What's going on? If I saw that back then I'd be like alright well this is definitely not normal here. You know maybe the message that you're speaking here Moses and Aaron maybe I should listen to that. Maybe I should take that serious. Especially since considering if you've read the story up till chapter 7 you know that the words that Moses and Aaron had brought to Pharaoh have already come to pass you would maybe hope to take that serious. Now keep your place right there. We'll come right back to it here. Go to Exodus chapter number 5. Just back up a couple chapters. Chapter number 5 and let's take a look at something here. So I said it's their exchange. Point number 3 is their exchange. So Paul tells Timothy hey you know don't forget Janus and Jambres. Don't forget how they behaved. Learn what they went through. Learn what they saw. Learn what they rejected and apply that to people because when you do that you can get a bead on people. You can get a reading on people. We have somebody who consistently comes in here every couple of months and for his own life this guy cannot understand a single bit of truth. But he comes in here with a Bible you know and he hears what he wants to hear. And then he always calls the next day and hey I heard you say this and acts and it's like I don't find it. It's not there. And I'm just like I never said that. Go back and watch the video. I never said that. What does that mean? It means we're dealing with somebody who cannot believe. His behavior is manifesting that and specifically it boils down to the fact that he's exchanging the truth for a lie every single time truth is put in front of him. So this is how Pharaoh was. This is how his servants were. This is how his magicians were. Look at Exodus 5 verse 1. So you know the story here. You know what's going on. God has told Moses hey look I'll be with your mouth. You're going to do what I told you. Just get to work. Start preaching. Look at verse verse number 1. Exodus 5 verse 1 it says this And afterward Moses and Aaron went in and told Pharaoh Thus saith the Lord God of Israel. Let my people go that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness. Now look at the response here of Pharaoh. It says this verse 2 Now don't miss this next statement that Pharaoh says. I know not the Lord neither will I let Israel go. Now who here thinks that he doesn't have a head knowledge of who the Hebrew God was? Obviously his nation is basically filled to the brim with Hebrews at this time to the point where they're paranoid. They got him in bondage because they're scared of them. He knows who they worship. He knows the stories. He knows who their God is but he says I know not the Lord meaning I don't care about God. I have not accepted him. I am not a convert here. Okay. The reason why I always bring this up when we're in this neighborhood of the Bible is because you need to know how to smash the Calvinist. Okay. Because the Calvinist will say well God you know he hardened Pharaoh's heart so he couldn't be saved. He never had a chance. That's not true. Okay. Who hardened his heart first? Was it God or Pharaoh? Yeah Pharaoh. Pharaoh hardened his heart. That is proof. Now go back to chapter number 7 real quick and you'll see some more information here. So you type in the word hardened in your Bible software. The first time that word appears is right here in verse 13. Look what it says. And he talking about God and he hardened Pharaoh's heart that he heartened not unto them as the Lord had said. Why is that? Because Pharaoh exchanged the truth for a lie. Immediately Moses and Aaron come up to him and say hey let my people go that we can worship our God. I don't know the Lord and I'm not letting you go. You guys obviously have way too much time on your hands so get to work. And he makes their lives even harder. Okay. Look back up to verse number 10 where we kind of left off here. So it says this. And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh and they did so as the Lord had commanded. And Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants and it became a serpent. So again you would think okay maybe I should take this serious but oh no look at verse 11. Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers. Now the magicians of Egypt they also did in like manner with their enchantments. So what do you have here? Paul told you that these guys were reprobate concerning the faith. When you read the letter in 2 Timothy chapter number 3 you actually get their names. Isn't that interesting? Paul knows their names. And what does he say? Hey these people are reprobate. They exchange the truth for a lie. You give them one bit of truth and they want to just corrupt it right out of the gate here. They would rather have their enchantments than the truth. Look at verse 12. They cast down every man in his rod and they became serpents. But Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods. And then in verse 13 you get where we just left off. And he, meaning God, hardened Pharaoh's heart that he hearkened not unto them as the Lord had said. So there you have it. That is the hallmark of a person that is what we're just kind of calling them here reptilians. Obviously they're reprobate. When you're talking to your brethren in other churches they're not going to know what that means. You're going to have to explain that to them. But we're talking about reprobates. We're talking about the mindset of a reprobate. You need to learn their behavior. And their behavior will always follow this pattern here which we saw in Romans 1. Where they will profess wisdom. They will profess truth but in reality what you're seeing, what you're hearing is nothing but folly. It's nothing but foolishness. And that's what Paul said about Janus and Jamboree in this chapter here. That's exactly what he said. And that is a lesson that we need to definitely, definitely take heed to. I mean think about how bad things get here in Exodus. I mean it gets to the point where God says, hey, if you don't let these people go, I'm taking the first born of everyone. Everything. And that changes Pharaoh for a little bit after that happens, right? And then what happens? They decide well you know what, I can't believe we let the people go. And then they go pursue them. After all of that, what does that mean? It means these people are implacable. So please understand what I'm teaching tonight. I'm teaching that a lot of these attributes here, the fact that their behavior is just folly, is foolish, they're exchanged, they can't believe all three of these things, right? They follow all reptilians. And when you put them in that package there, that should give you some discernment on who you are dealing with so that you know how to respond accordingly, okay? And again, all this to say what we always say. The Bible says that today is the day of salvation, right? Now obviously we can't go soul winning 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, you know, and there's very few people that are even capable of doing so. But with that said, you know, we need to have and maintain urgency, especially in these last days because these attacks, even as I'm preaching this, I'm watching my phone here, and it's just one star review, one star review, I'm gonna kill you, I'm gonna murder you, you're terrible, you're horrible, you know, these things are just coming in over and over again as I'm speaking to you right now, right? That's the culture, that is the United States of America, where we are in a crooked and perverse nation where our politicians, our leaders, our CEOs have exchanged the truth of God for a lie. So again, be careful who you trust out there, be careful who you listen to out there, and make sure that these words are always going through your eyes and your ears down into your soul so that you can have some discernment, so that we can have some discernment and some preservement so that we can continue to do great exploits for God. So with that being said, let's bow our heads and have a word of prayer. Thank you so much, Lord, again for the great truth that you always preach, you always have laid out for us, crystal clear in your word. I just pray that you would bless us, Lord, continue to bless our church, and that you would be with us, bring us comfort this week, Lord, help us out so many, and again, we do thank you for all that you do for us in Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
