And his mother's brethren spake of him in the ears of all the men of Shechem, all these
words, and their hearts inclined to follow Abimelek, for they said, "Well, he is our
brother."
A bunch of fools.
And they're going to end up suffering as a result.
And they gave him three score and ten pieces of silver out of the house of Baal-Birith,
wherewith Abimelek hired vain and light persons which followed.
This is great, isn't it?
So the money comes from the house of Satan.
The synagogue of Satan provides the money.
Abimelek, this wicked rotten person,
he goes out and hires a bunch of people to follow him.
He hires a bunch of mercenaries,
and these people are described as vain and light persons.
Now what does it mean, a vain and light person?
People have no beliefs, no values, no character.
They're just gonna go for the highest bidder, right?
These mercenaries are gonna fight for whoever hires them
because they're just nothing.
They're like a non-playable character, right?
Vain and light persons, and they followed him.
You can always get somebody to follow you.
Verse five, "And he went into his father's house at Ofra
"and slew his brethren, the sons of Jerubal,
"being three-scorned ten persons upon one stone.
"Notwithstanding, Ed Jotham, the youngest son of Jerubal,
"was left for he hid himself."
So he's so wicked that he murders his own brethren.
So a minute ago, he's like,
hey, remember that I'm your bone and your flesh.
And then what does he turn around and do?
Murder his own bone and flesh.
Now, stop and think about this.
If this guy's willing to murder his own bone and flesh,
his own blood relatives,
because remember, the Bible was very clear
that all of these sons were from Gideon's body.
They were all begotten by Gideon.
They're all biologically related.
And if he's willing to kill
his biological half-brothers on this side,
I wonder if he's gonna be willing to kill
the biological half-brothers on this side.
Stop and think about that.
And these people, apparently, this is lost on them.
Hey, I'm your bone in your foot.
Well, he is our brother.
Okay, let's go help me murder my brothers.
Think about how stupid this is.
You know, when you get mixed up with people like this
that hurt other people, you're next.
You're next.
You know, it's fine, I think about these wicked pastors
who crept in among us and pretended to be our friends
and then stabbed us in the back, slandered us,
and now they're teaching a bunch of goofball,
stupid, ridiculous doctrines,
and then people still want to be friends with those guys,
you know, my message to them would just be,
well, you guys are next.
If you hang around with people like that,
because these kind of people,
if they'll stab this friend over here in the back,
if they'll use and abuse people over here,
they'll do the same thing over here.
And by the way, when people come to you
talking bad about other people behind their back,
just take it to the bank,
they're gonna talk about you behind your back too.
So you think it's cool when they're talking bad
about Pastor Anderson behind his back
or some other girl or boy or man or woman
or just whoever, when they're talking bad about somebody
behind their back to you,
just realize that they're probably doing the same thing to you
or they will down the road.
You know, this honeymoon lasts about three years.
And then three years later,
these people are all fighting against each other
and hating each other.
Why?
This has happened throughout history.
You know, look at the Bolshevik Revolution.
And then they turn around
and they're basically, you know, purging their own party
and killing their own fellow communists.
And it's Trotsky against Stalin.
And you know, the revolution devours its own children
because these kind of rebellious, violent people,
they're gonna turn on you next.
If they'll do it to the one, they'll do it to the other.
And obviously, Abimalek has no problem
murdering his brothers.
So why would these people think
he's gonna be loyal to them?
Because he's half the one side of the family
the other side of the family so what's the difference? There is no difference.
