Tonight on the sword of the spirit podcast how God judges nations it starts in 60 seconds
you're listening to episode 46
of the sword of the spirit podcast this is Ben Naim here on the YouTube channel Ben
the Baptist thank you so much for listening live here on this August 3rd 2020 it's great
to be here once again for this live stream and I'm coming to you of course from Texas
hello to everybody in the chat room I appreciate you tuning in live for this program tonight where
we're gonna take a look at what the Bible says about how God judges nations I think this is
relevant for today when you look at what's going on with respect to current events you look at the
rioting on the street specifically in Portland I'll be talking about that you look at how we're
entering the hurricane season there already was a hurricane this year pretty early on in the season
hurricane is sayis I believe is how they wanted it to be pronounced and that sort of I don't believe
it made landfall in Florida but it kind of went up the coast there on the eastern part of the
states so there's a lot to talk about and here's the thing when it comes to God's judgment there
are so many ways there's a multiplicity of ways in which God judges nations or curses nations you
can read about both his blessings and his national cursings as well in Deuteronomy chapter 28 which
is very long chapter where he goes at where you know it goes over all of that and a lot of it's
very negative especially the famine especially the starvation that can occur if a nation chooses to
spit in the face of God if a nation chooses to trample over his commandments and you know those
national curses Israel let's just say was warned about them and they were the recipient of those
national curses on multiple occasions I'll go over some of that here as we'll dive into the
scriptures tonight and take a look at some examples of how God dolls out national cursing
national judgment but the purpose of a podcast like this isn't just to read scripture because
yes there are so many examples in the Bible of the Lord judging an entire nation but also I think
there's an application to be made for the United States in 2020 I think when you look at these
examples from the Bible of judgment you can then pinpoint examples that are either going on right
now or that have occurred in the past where we can see that in the real world and the whole point
of me wanting to do a podcast about this is not only so that we can educate ourselves together
which includes you the viewer we can educate ourselves courtesy of the Word of God on what
it says about this dark gloomy subject and admittedly that's what it is it's a dark subject
it's a gloomy subject it's one that people don't necessarily want to focus on especially churches
they don't want to talk about things like this they just want to stay on the positive side they
just want to talk about blessings and things of that nature but the purpose of doing this is so
that we can take heed so we can be warned about what might happen to us as a country if we continue
going down this pathway and I think it also will help strengthen the righteous remnant in America
to continue doing what we're doing so that perhaps judgment can be staved off for at least a few more
years maybe a decade if we're lucky perhaps two decades if we're really lucky but we can stave
off some of that coming judgment in an attempt to continue to win more souls to Christ and perhaps
bring in one final revival before the end we know that occurred in the southern kingdom of Judah
courtesy of King Josiah who staved off judgment because he brought a spiritual revival to that
nation we know there have been little spurts throughout the history of Judah where that
occurred Hezekiah is another example of that I want to say hi to people in the chat Amanda
lays in there Daniel Walker from Queensland Australia well you know what Daniel I hope you
continue to tune in because I'm gonna have something that has to do with Australia that
I'll be covering a little later on Australia isn't out of the crosshairs tonight I'll talk
about Australia's judgment an example of judgment I should say on Australia Matthew Martin from
Ontario Canada and some other people I have be Javier Ramos I saw in the chat room this is a
podcast that airs Monday nights at 8 p.m. central 9 p.m. Eastern Time right here on youtube.com slash
Ben the Baptist tune in next week because on deck for that show will be pastor Aaron Thompson as we
will be talking about church planting in light of the Bible because that's a doctrine that's been
under attack lately by some bozos church planting light of the Bible that's next week with pastor
Aaron Thompson and one other pastor I'm gonna try and invite as well we'll see if he says yes I
think he will but we'll have to wait and see on that one so the first way in which God judges
nations and by the way there are so many methods that God uses to curse nations I'm not gonna get
to all of them here on this podcast we could be here all night if there's one you think I missed
or if there's one you think I should have mentioned but forgot to for whatever reason feel free to
share it in the comments below or if you're listening live in the chat room the first way
God judges nations is through a famine the Bible tells us in Isaiah chapter 51 and verse 17 awake
awake stand up Oh Jerusalem which has drunk at the hand of the Lord the cup of his fury thou has
drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling and wrung them out there was none to guide her among
all the sons whom she had brought forth neither is there any that taketh her by the hand of all
the sons that she had brought up these two things are come unto thee who shall be sorry for thee
desolation and destruction and the famine and the sword by whom shall I comfort thee thy sons
have fainted they lie at the head of all the streets as a wild bull in a net they are full
of the fury of the Lord the rebuke of thy God so a famine would essentially be mass starvation
it's where food and water is scarce and so people end up starving to death it's gonna be a gloomy
podcast tonight this is sort of the thing the type of thing we're gonna be covering but yeah
a famine it's one of the ways in which God dolls out judgment we know there's gonna be one courtesy
of the devil in the beginning of sorrows during the tribulation the first three and a half years
of Daniel 70th week there will be a famine now this though is one that comes as a result of God's
judgment of what happens consequently when a nation turns away from the commandments of the
Lord well mass starvation when people can't eat when they can't find their next meal where they
don't know where their next meal is going to come from that's when you end up with a famine you look
at us today in the West and we take food for granted you can go out of your you can walk out
of your home right now and you can take a ride probably two three minutes down the road and find
plenty of affordable restaurants for you to eat at and even if you are a lower middle class person
or someone who doesn't make a lot of money you could still eat out at fast food places for
example KFC McDonald's whatever the case may be there's always a place for you to go and grab an
affordable meal for you and if you have a family for your family for your children we take it for
granted if you look at some of the civil unrest that's going on right now in our country it's
happening courtesy of people who have full stomachs they're not looking for their next
meal they're not starving they're not necessarily worried about where they're gonna have dinner that
evening because foods all around them they can go to the nearest restaurant go to the supermarket
and pick up whatever they want to eat and chow down so that's not an issue right now and yet even
with that in place even with a you know plenty of food going around in America we produce a lot of
food even with that you still have the civil unrest which of course is being stirred up by
shadowy figures New World Order elites like George Soros through Black Lives Matter different topic
for a different time something I'll actually touch on a little bit later on but there's plenty of food
going on I should say to go around that people can eat obviously you do have homeless people
though out there who legitimately are starving or legitimately are in a situation where they
don't necessarily know where their next meal is coming from but for a vast majority of the
population they can eat just fine but that's not always gonna be the case there are probably gonna
be perhaps in the future times in which maybe because of an economic downturn that food is a
little bit more rare and maybe we might live to see a family we know for sure we'll live to see
one in the end times but a famine is one of the ways God will curse a nation and there's an example
of this actually in 2nd Samuel chapter 24 when King David numbers the children of Israel when he
shouldn't have done that because numbering them would have basically prevented God from getting
all the glory from Israel's battles physical battles that had taken place at that time well
King David does what he shouldn't have done he numbers Israel and so what ends up happening is
a prophet actually walks up to King David and asks him what would you rather happen what would you
like to happen would you rather occur for the nation of Israel in terms of judgment and I'll
read to you from 2nd Samuel 24 it says in verse 13 so Gad came to David and told him and said unto
him shall seven years of famine come unto thee in thy land or wilt thou flee three months before
thine enemies while they pursue thee or that there be three days pestilence in thy land now
advise and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me and David said unto Gad I am in a
great strait let us fall now into the hand of the Lord for his mercies are great and let me not fall
into the hand of man so the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning even at the time of
point and there died of the people from Danube to Beersheba seventy thousand men so we see seventy
thousand men have died because of this curse but one of the options that is given to David would be
a famine he's asked okay are you willing for this to happen or these other two things and David
makes his decision but this is a way that God will punish a nation and the United States and
this is a common theme that I'm gonna bring up repeatedly throughout the broadcast deserves the
judgment of God it's unfortunate I wish I didn't have to say that but it's something I've covered
here on this show before I'm not necessarily gonna be focusing too much on that aspect of it because
you all know it's obvious we fund Planned Parenthood we murder as a country babies by
hundreds of that by the hundreds of thousands we promote anti-family filth the United States has
turned its back on God just the fact alone that the federal government funds Planned Parenthood
is enough to deserve the judgment of God that in and of itself let alone Hollywood let alone
television let alone the filthy entertainment and everything else that's going on in our rapidly
degrading culture there's a lot more than just Planned Parenthood fun which was of course founded
by a racist eugenicist known as Margaret Sanger you know there's no doubt this country deserves
God's judgment however what exactly would occur if it were to receive the curse of God that's what
I'm gonna go over and of course the first thing I talked about would be a famine now what would be
an example of this that actually has occurred in the real world that we can look to just as a
picture or perhaps even maybe a foreshadowing of what we might experience in this country one day
well how about what happened in North Korea the North Korean famine and if you're watching on
video if you're on audio only on the podcast I'll make sure to narrate whatever I put on the screen
so you don't feel left out but whatever is on video here or whoever's on video rather you could
see on your screen the Wikipedia article about the North Korean famine the North Korean famine
also known as the arduous March or the March of suffering was a period of mass starvation together
with the general economic crisis from 1994 to 1998 in North Korea what you'll notice about
famines what you'll notice about periods of time in which people can't feed themselves this is
often coupled with economic calamity and I hate to say this but the Federal Reserve System we
have in place right now is designed to fail and I do think economic calamity is on the horizon
whether you believe it's God's judgment or not and that is often coupled with people not being
able to eat mass starvation and that's what happened in North Korea because of their
communistic regime which valued weapons manufacturing and which valued spending
all their money on growing the size of their military because they have a extreme nationalistic
ideology not in the it's sort of a weird way that they they do things over there they have this
Juche is what they call it ideology that says they're completely independent they don't need
any outside help for anything which includes multilateral trade deals or even bilateral trade
deals that they they'll engage in some of that with China but they're essentially completely on
their own in terms of the larger international community which obviously if you're against
globalism that might sound good on the surface but the problem is the regime that has been
installed there pretty much since the end of the Soviet Union is extremely corrupt and when you're
gonna there's a fly in here when you're going to have a communistic regime where you're gonna have
an authoritarian totalitarian god-hating regime like what we've seen in North Korea for the last
several several decades the problem with that is they'll tell you well the government is gonna take
care of food the government is gonna take care of education the government is gonna take care of
its people but it never ever happens under that system of government because they're always utterly
and irredeemably corrupt that's the case with the Kim dynasty and although they might claim yeah we
have free education here we also have free food rations here the problem is the education that
they're getting is pure propaganda designed simply to propagate the ideology of the regime and second
of all the food they're getting is crap that's why people are still starving on the streets
there today and when this famine occurred in the mid to late 90s well that was no exception there
were people who were starving on the streets and I think this is an example of what could happen if
God were to strike the Western world with a famine perhaps this was providential as well I don't know
for sure I'm not gonna speculate on that but it says the famine stemmed from a variety of factors
economic mismanagement and the loss of Soviet support caused food production and imports to
decline rapidly of course North Korea at one point was heavily reliant on the Soviet Union
for import the importation of food and exporting as well a series of floods and droughts exacerbated
the crisis so again perhaps providential the North Korean government and its centrally planned system
proved too inflexible to effectively curtail the disaster why because the regime there is more
concerned with stocking up on nuclear weapons with amassing an extremely large military force
they spend all their money on weapons all their money on the military while people die I want to
share this video with you which will offer a short explanation of what went on there again
an example of a famine which we do know according to scripture is one of the ways God judges nations
this is not in English but there are subtitles and so if you're listening on the podcast I'll
make sure to read the subtitles the year I turned six the arduous March famine started
a lot of people died of starvation and cold government officials at each level were
stealing food for themselves citizens got less and less in the end there was almost nothing
rations
rations stopped farmers still got some since we all went down to live on a farm and my parents
worked in the fields I think I was in second grade I was nine years old back then if you
walked around outside some kind of battlefield they were people who had starved to death
I was nine my mom took me to a relatives house but we became separated he says he's never seen
never sees her again so there that's just a small sample of what went on there mid to late 90s in
North Korea this was a horrifying famine there were people starving on the streets and this
evidently is video of it 1994 to 1998 the people there were extremely malnourished they still are
to an extent today but the death that this caused the the torture these people went through is really
just unimaginable again you know people look at what's happening right now in America you have
Black Lives Matter you have antifa roaming the streets causing all kinds of destruction why
because they want to overthrow our system they want to overthrow the system we have going right
now they hate it they hate capitalism they hate the United States and here's the thing these
people they want to overthrow the system we have to whether you love it or hate it and they want
to install something that's a heck of a lot worse it might sound nice for government to promise to
feed you to promise to educate you but what you get invariably is cronyism what you get is
unimaginable corruption which is what happens in every single communistic state throughout history
and especially the only one other than I guess communist China that's still around right now
which is the DPRK pillar and ground and the chairman says imagine if some son of Kim Jong
Un got saved and became this born-again Emperor and ran all of Korea in Christianity while being
a unilateral dictator and just killed all the reprobates and sons of bail that would certainly
be interesting Peter James I think I you know I wouldn't hold my breath on that happening but it
would definitely be interesting to see you know but Christianity is the furthest thing from the
minds of the North Korean leadership and I have heard though that there are some underground
groups of people who are trying to spread the gospel they're unsure of what type of organizations
are doing that kind of work it is completely sealed to the truth of God's Word at least right
now will it be opened up one day I'd love to see it you know I've always been interested in North
Korea the nation that I've studied for some time now and I'd love to see it get opened up one day
and for those people to finally be liberated with the gospel of Jesus Christ all right well let me
talk about the next way God will judge a nation if it's not careful sickness and plague this is
extremely relevant today with what's going on no matter what you think about the coronavirus
pillar and ground says if we could just win Kim Jong-un to Christ North Korea is really interesting
though yeah Kim Jong-un again I wouldn't hold your breath on on him becoming a Christian North Korea
has its own religion the religion of that communist state is the government they've ripped off the
Bible it's true they've ripped off the Bible in many ways with the birth story of their eternal
president Kim Il-sung they believe in some sort of Star of Bethlehem that appeared in the sky the
morning or the night that he was born they worship these people they are their gods and so when you
have a government that is the state's religion at the same time that just makes it a heck of a lot
more difficult to permeate it with the gospel and that's obviously the most clear as day obvious
statement I've probably ever made here on the show but moving on sickness and plague this is
another way that we see according to the Word of God that he will judge a nation and I'll just read
a few verses from Deuteronomy chapter 28 it says in verse 22 the Lord shall smite thee with the
consumption and with a fever and with an inflammation and with an extreme burning and
with the sword and with blasting and with mildew and they shall pursue thee until thou perish so
God promises one of the curses to the nation of Israel if they turn against him is a consumption
of fever inflammation and burning you see often times when there is a pandemic and this planet has
gone through several of those which obviously the history of pandemics have been highlighted
lately because of what's going on with coronavirus but almost every time these illnesses will lead to
crippling fever it'll lead to all kinds of inflammation and symptoms that nobody would
want to go through it says in verse 58 of this same chapter if thou will not observe to do all
the words of this law that are written in this book that thou mayest fear this glorious and
fearful name the Lord thy God then the Lord will make thy plagues wonderful and the plagues of thy
seed even great plagues and of long continuance and sore sicknesses and of long continuance moreover
he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt which thou wast afraid of and they shall cleave
unto thee also every sickness and every plague which is not written the book of this law then
will the Lord bring upon thee until thou be destroyed now that doesn't send chills down your
spine I don't know what will and yes if God was willing to do that back then he's willing to do
it today that ought to send chills down your spine when the Bible reminds us to fear the Lord there's
very good reason for that because of what the Bible says when it comes to national curses famine
I just talked about it but now sickness plague fever every plague which is not written in the
book of this law it says then will the Lord bring upon thee well what's going on in America today
cancer rates are higher than they've ever been there are different illnesses and sicknesses that
have been exacerbated in the modern era and I don't think that's a coincidence at all
I want to talk about specifically one particular illness that this country hasn't seen but one
that it might see in the future one that has already been a problem for a different country
and specifically that would be well this is a continent Africa I want to talk about Ebola for
a moment because if God is going to strike a nation with sicknesses as the Word of God
describes in Deuteronomy chapter 28 I think what we might see come to pass would be something like
this blood clots begin to form internal organs begin to fail and in a matter of days the body
hemorrhages and dies terrors all caused by a nightmare come to life Ebola is a rare but
extremely dangerous disease it's classified as one of the most lethal diseases on the planet
with a fatality rate of up to 90% Ebola is caused by six species of virus with four known to cause
sickness in humans and each is named after the locations of their outbreaks the first known
species was I hear Ebola virus discovered in 1976 near Zaire's Ebola River a river faded to become
the namesake of all Ebola viruses like all viruses Ebola viruses infect and feed off of their hosts
starting on a microscopic level the viruses which are string-like structures contain genetic
information in the form of ribonucleic acid or RNA encasing the RNA are layers of proteins the
proteins on the outermost layer are highly versatile capable of changing shape and binding
to different types of cells within a host when binding occurs the Ebola virus fuses with a host
cell allowing the viruses RNA to infiltrate the cell and to replicate the virus from within this
infection quickly spreads to countless cells throughout the body resulting in some of the
most terrifying symptoms known to man within eight to ten days those infected by the Ebola
virus may experience symptoms drastically ranging in severity from fevers to diarrhea and vomiting
to internal and external bleeding often from the eyes while outbreaks have been caused by multiple
species of Ebola virus the strain with the highest fatality rate was the first to be discovered Zaire
Ebola virus all right so I'll cut that one short here but you look at some of these symptoms that
it brings up internal external bleeding often from the eyes and this is some really just
dark stuff right here and so I'm not gonna get into too much detail but folks it happened it
happened in Africa and I believe there actually were a few cases in the United States but obviously
it never became a big deal here but this would make the coronavirus kovat 19 whatever you want
to call it look like a walk in the park on a nice brisk summer day or cool summer day
that's what it would do and it could very well happen now that is a hypothetical what's actually
going on though what would be an example of this well here's an article I actually don't have it
ready for the screen here but I have it pulled up on my phone the three reasons so many people
are getting cancer from life science.com and this oncologist he goes on and he talks about
that you know the cancer rates the kid the rate of cancer has gone up because of people's poor diet
he talks about people having a very poor diet he talks about how certain types of cancer on the
rise like HPV and gastrointestinal cancers as well skin cancer and some other ones here that
he lists but my point is that people are recognizing that the general population is getting
sicker that the general population is getting more stunted and I believe the reason why is because we
are actually seeing God's judgment in this area obviously it's not necessarily quite as bad as it
could be I think that example right there I just played for you from National Geographic talking
about Ebola an illness like that I believe is when the iniquity of America that's what could
happen if the iniquity of America is full just assures the iniquity of the Amorites was not yet
full what the Bible talks about there in the book of Genesis once it was full then though then Israel
was used as an instrument by which they were judged by which they were wiped out that's what
God wanted to do but he had to wait though until their iniquity had reached a fullness if you will
and I think that's what the Lord does he gives nations time to repent that's consistent with his
character he does that with individuals and I believe he also does that with entire nations
and I think that we're no different right he's gonna give us time to repent he's gonna give us
time and space to get things right but if we don't perhaps something as bad as Ebola could run
rampant here and as I said it'll make coronavirus look like a piece of cake in comparison no matter
what you believe though about the coronavirus I do think it's obvious that God's judgment is on the
Western world today as well because of the oppression I mean you look at how people can't
even leave their homes right now you have to wear masks everywhere you go and it's because of the
fact that God's blessing is not on America it's not on the Western world as a whole it's just not
if it was then we wouldn't be in this current state that we're in today whether you think it's
manufactured by Bill Gates or not whatever conspiracy theory you believe that's associated
with COVID-19 is irrelevant to this discussion tonight because whether it's the virus itself
no matter what you think about the danger of the virus or the government's response to the virus
either way it's his judgment that we've lost freedoms because of this is God's judgment that
people have seen an economic downturn because of this is God's judgment and that it doesn't seem to
be going anywhere anytime soon is God's judgment some people have even speculated that it has
something to do with the election which I think is plausible because whether you love Donald Trump
or you hate Donald Trump he was going to win and there are people in the shadow government who I
guess didn't want that to happen for whatever reason so there's a lot to talk about there but
my point is when you see things like so what's like what's going on today and when you see that
cancer rates are up and when you see what's already happened in other places on this planet
horrifying diseases and illnesses that you can find in third world countries it's definitely
plausible that that that might happen here in the United States and if it does it would be God's
judgment as evidenced by what the Bible says about this particular method that he uses to curse
nations let's talk about another way that God judges nations how about conflict and violence
conflict and violence still in Deuteronomy 28 I'll read verse 49 the Lord shall bring a nation
against thee from far from the end of the earth as swift as the eagle fly at the nation whose tongue
thou shalt not understand a nation of fierce countenance which shall not regard the person
of the old nor show favor to the young and he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle and the fruit
of thy land until that be destroyed which also shall not leave the either corn wine or oil or
the increase of thy kind or flocks of thy sheep until they have destroyed thee and he shall
besiege thee and all thy gates until thy high and fenced walls come down where in thou trustest
throughout all thy land and he shall besiege thee and all thy gates throughout all thy land which
the Lord thy God hath given thee we see another way in which God decides to punish a nation is
through conflict and warfare and through affliction in terms of violence and that's what he promises
Israel we see this promise come to pass when the Babylonian Empire invades years later and
destroys Judah for 70 years it's the 70 years of captivity I want to show you an example of this
in Scripture where wars specifically wars used as an example of God's curse on a nation 2nd
Chronicles chapter 16 this is a story that deals with King Asa it says in verse number 1 in the
6th and 30th year of the reign of Asa Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah and built
Rhema to the intent that he might let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah so we see a
conflict here we see that Israel had come up against Judah by this time the northern kingdom
and the southern kingdom had already been split into two separate nations and the king of Israel
had come up against the king of Judah who is Asa it says in verse 2 then Asa brought out silver and
gold out of the treasure of the house of the Lord and of the king's house and sent to ben hadad king
of Syria that dwelt at Damascus saying there is a league between me and thee as there was between
my father and thy father behold I have sent thee silver and gold go break thy league with Baasha
king of Israel that he may depart from me and ben hadad hearken unto king Asa and sent the captains
of his armies against the cities of Israel and they smote ijon and dan and abel mayim and all
the store cities of neftalai so I won't read the whole thing but essentially what Asa does is he
takes the treasures out of the house of God out of the temple of God and he uses it to bribe Ben
hadad the king of Syria to help him protect Judah from the onslaught of Israel and God was not
pleased with him for this why because God wanted King Asa rather to rely on him for protection
rather than turning to a heathen nation like Syria and a heathen King specifically like Ben
hadad well here's what happened as a result Hanani the seer offers him a sharp rebuke he utters the
very words of God to King Asa and in verse 7 of this chapter it says and at that time Hanani the
seer came to Asa king of Judah and said unto him because thou hast relied on the king of Syria and
not relied on the Lord thy God therefore as the host of the king of Syria escaped out of thine
hand were not the Ethiopians and the Lubams a huge host with very many chariots and horsemen
yet because thou didst rely on the Lord he delivered them into thine hand for the eyes of
the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth to show himself strong on the behalf of them whose
heart is perfect toward him herein thou hast done foolishly now notice this part therefore from
henceforth thou shalt have wars so Hanani the seer explains to Asa that consequently because he
relied on Ben hadad the king of Syria rather than the Lord like he had done in prior battles he
would then have to face wars it's God's blessing on a nation when it experiences a time of peace
but it's God's judgment on a nation or punishment on a nation when it goes through a period of
conflict when it goes through a period of perpetual warfare and he says from henceforth
thou shalt have wars here's what's interesting about this the United States pretty much for a
vast majority of its existence has seen conflict after conflict after conflict and today we have
something called the military industrial complex which is sort of an ascent in incestuous
relationship between weapons manufacturers and government we see war after war after war take
place that America has gotten involved with especially in the Middle East the endless
military interventionism that has taken place in places like Iraq and Afghanistan and Libya and
Syria and Yemen and elsewhere and the thing about this is that it spanned multiple presidential
administrations it doesn't matter who you end up voting for to be the president of the United
States and what they campaigned on prior to getting elected it's a certainty that once they
get into office they're gonna make sure that they feed the military industrial complex because
that's the engine that continues that incestuous relationship I just talked about and so you could
almost look at it as a form of punishment on our nation that we've been involved with so much
bloodshed and unnecessary warfare in our nation's history in addition to that though I talked about
how I wanted to tie in current events to this podcast tonight how about what's been going on
lately with Antifa and with Black Lives Matter now as much as the fake media would like you to
believe that the people who are engaging in these acts of violence and rioting and conflict are
nothing more than peaceful protesters we know that's fake we know that's a fraud we know that's
not true and the reason why they want to perpetuate that narrative is because they want the public to
be on the side of the George Soros funded organizations which obviously are being funded
so that they can advance a divide and conquer agenda in this country and it's working because
a lot of people have bought into the black the Black Lives Matter propaganda you say what's
wrong with Black Lives Matter they push an anti family agenda if you go on their website you'll
see it for yourself one of the tenants that's listed on their quote statement of faith if you
want to call it that one of the really important components of their mission statement is that they
want to dismantle the nuclear family unit and that's a direct quote by the way they vehemently
stand against the nuclear family and by the way it's the New World Order that stands against the
nuclear family because it is the traditional family unit that is a major hindrance to them
bringing in a more totalitarian system form of government they want instead for the government
to replace the family which we have already seen occur in a place like North Korea which
of course I talked about a few minutes ago but what about what's happening right now not what's
been going on the last few weeks well how about this Portland sees 150 round shooting at apartment
building as crowds continue violent clashes with police what was one of the ways that God will
punish a nation perpetual conflict and violence we saw that King Asa was told the bad news hey
you know what thou shalt have wars now because you relied on Ben Haydad rather than God well that's
what's been going on in America especially today not only do we have the family I'm sorry not only
do we have the sickness not only do we have this pandemic that we've been dealing with but we also
have this violence that has come at the hands of these so-called peaceful protesters this article
from Fox News I guess you can call me a Fox News Baptist now more than 150 rounds were fired in
one moment was shot in Portland on Friday night while protesters on Saturday some of whom appeared
to impersonate press threw glass bottles and shined lasers at city police officers sent to
quell the nighttime unrest witnessed for more than two months straight now why does this even
happening it's because they're still upset over the George Floyd incident in which the police
officers who perpetrated that crime have already been given a fair punishment that's already been
dealt with but it's not enough for people who are implacable and it's not enough for people who've
been stirred up by the fake media these people who are out on the streets assaulting police officers
destroying private property you can look at them as the useful idiots of the elite that's what they
are they're useful idiots and this article goes on to talk about what exactly went on here and it
goes into more detail I'm not gonna get too much into it but it was essentially a war zone that's
what this quote says this is America and it's a war zone with 150 shots in an apartment complex
close to a Christian University how can we explain that our Aragon Marx who lives at the building told
Fox 12 Oregon yeah that's what's happening that's I believe the punishment that we're seeing from
the Lord and instead of having peaceful streets instead of having nice neighborhoods where
everything is going normally and people aren't running around destroying private property
shooting innocent people assaulting innocent people in their own vehicles by the way I've
seen video of that happening where you have people driving on the road during a traffic jam which was
started by violent rioters from Antifa and Black Lives Matter and other communist far-left groups
that these people will actually surround vehicles after blocking the road and start pounding on the
vehicle and trying to break the windshield and trying to break the windows of that vehicle so
that they can actually grab the driver and assault the individual man or woman doesn't matter these
people are deranged psychopathic demonic lunatic mentally ill basket cases who hate the Lord Jesus
Christ and they've been stirred up by the fake media but why is it that the Lord's even allowing
something like this to happen it's because America hates the Bible and so if America hates the Bible
if America wants to push Hollywood celebrities and Ellen DeGeneres and Katy Perry for example
and wants to promote sodomy and all this other garbage then this is what we're gonna have to
deal with this is what will occur consequently when you have conflict like this it's not God's
blessing if you don't think it's God's cursing let's say you disagree with me saying I don't
think so bandit this is this isn't the judgment of God then how in the world could you make the
case that God's blessing our nation right now how all the hysteria surrounding kovat 19 all
the hysteria concerning race the divide and conquer the civil unrest on the streets of
this country no God's not being blessed I'm sorry the United States is not being blessed rather by
God that's what's going on and there's a biblical precedent for that as I just showed you let's
move on to the next way that God will judge a nation and this is an area that I am very
interested in meteorology folks I'm not sure if you're aware of this but you should be if you've
read the Bible even one time cover to cover God controls the weather God controls the weather let
me give you a few verses on that man 1 verse 3 it says the Lord is slow to anger and great in power
and will not at all acquit the wicked the Lord hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm
and the clouds are the dust of his feet the whirlwind the storm God has his way with those
things because he's in control of it he's in control of it and there's some people out there
who would say oh what about the chemtrails maybe that manipulates the weather again I don't know
what you think about conspiracies but ultimately it's God's punishment on the nation okay and we
see that the Lord's able to control weather that's what the Bible tells us there we know in the end
times he's certainly gonna do that in Revelation chapter 16 talking about the seventh vial it says
and every island fled away and the mountains were not found and there fell upon men a great hail out
of heaven every stone about the weight of a talent and men blasphemed God because of the plague of
the hail for the plague thereof was exceeding great so we see hailstones coming down from
heaven that's obviously supernatural and that will happen at the seventh vial when God pours
out his wrath on this planet in the end times that's the second half of Daniel's 70th week
here's another verse Psalm chapter 107 verse 25 the Bible says there for he commandeth and raised
at the stormy wind which lifteth up the waves thereof so he commands the stormy wind which
lifts up the waves we know of storm surge which is a big problem whenever there's a hurricane that
hits an area directly it leads to storm surge it leads to flooding it leads to very dangerous
conditions and people often die what's an example of this that's occurred in recent history how
about the 2005 hurricane season that was a particularly bad one and I want to show you a
clip talking about it so you can see for yourself what I mean forget that in 2005 four major
hurricanes struck the u.s. coastline hurricanes Dennis Katrina Rita and Wilma caused about a
hundred and sixty billion dollars in damage and left more than three thousand nine hundred people
dead the most destructive tropical year on record unique atmospheric conditions were to blame for
brewing up such a catastrophic hurricane was gone well there are a bunch of circumstances that
really came together to kind of create a special season the first was extremely warm Atlantic
waters up to that so I just kind of wanted to play that there for a second but the 2005 hurricane
season is an example of this of God using meteorology perhaps as a way to punish the
nation there's a verse here this person says Amos chapter 3 verse 6 shall a trumpet be blown
in the city and the people not be afraid shall there be evil in a city and the Lord hath not
done it amen to that I think that just substantiates the theme of the podcast tonight the 2005
hurricane season featured so many storms they ran out of names for the storms and when you
run out of names for storms then what they'll often do is they will go into Greek lettering
and I can't remember the last time that's ever happened but let me put this on your screen here
storm names from the 2005 hurricane season look how many storms occurred this year Arlene Brett
Cindy Dennis Emily Franklin Gert Harvey Irene Jose Katrina Hurricane Katrina was the big one
that devastated New Orleans Louisiana which is a den of sin by the way an absolute den of sin and
debauchery and filth and alcohol and fornication and adultery Lee Maria Nate Ophelia Philip Rita
Stan Tammy Vince Wilma and then because they ran out of names the world meteorological or
meteorological organization ran out of names so they started using Greek names alpha beta
gamma Delta epsilon zeta these are Greek letters so many storms this year they literally ran out
of names and it says after the season had ended the world meteorological organizations
hurricane committee retired five names because these storms were so enormous Dennis Katrina
Rita Stan and Wilma so many different storms occurred here and many of them were major as
you see here Hurricane Emily was a category 5 hurricane Dennis was a category 4 hurricane by
the way a category 5 hurricane will give you wind gusts that are that will exceed over 157
miles per hour Hurricane Katrina category 5 hurricane Hurricane Rita category 5 hurricane
Wilma category 5 hurricane so many major hurricanes occurred during the 2005 hurricane
season but of course Katrina is probably the most famous one causing 125 billion with a be
125 billion dollars worth of damage with 1800 over 1800 people dying bad stuff that hurricane
season was particularly dangerous that hurricane season was let's just say very very active could
it happen again well if it does I think we'll know why again I'm not saying every single event
like this has to necessarily be God's judgment but when you look at something like that something so
out of the ordinary to me it's obvious what's going on again there's a biblical precedent I
read you the verses everything I'm saying tonight can be corroborated with Scripture everything I'm
saying tonight has evidence from the Bible evidence for it from the Bible let's move on
how about fires the Bible talks about this in Ezekiel 15 therefore thus saith the Lord God as
the vine tree among the trees of the forest which I have given to the fire for fuel so will I give
the inhabitants of Jerusalem now the type of fires I'm talking about would be forest fires
wildfires Ezekiel 20 says in verse 47 and say to the forest of the south hear the word of the Lord
thus saith the Lord God behold I will kindle a fire in thee and it shall devour every green tree
in thee and every dry tree the flaming flame shall not be quenched and all faces from the south to
the north shall be burned therein so the Bible clearly tells us here that God will orchestrate
an event like this where there will be fires that come from God that devour entire forests as a
means to punish nations Jeremiah chapter 21 says the same thing in verse 14 but I will punish you
according to the fruit of your doings saith the Lord and I will kindle a fire in the forest
thereof and it shall devour all things round about it so clearly when you have fires like
this that oftentimes according to the Bible it was something that God himself is responsible
for ultimately as a means to punish nations that spit in his face you say what's an example of
that well it's not uncommon for something like this to happen in America but what about what
happened recently not here in the United States but all the way in Australia these fires in
Australia which by the way banned Pastor Anderson from coming to preach Pastor Anderson banned from
Australia just so you know I don't think it's a coincidence but Australia fires a visual guide
to the bushfire crisis it was a crisis interrupting daily life in Australia this is BBC News says
record-breaking temperatures and months of severe drought have fueled a series of massive bushfires
across Australia that doesn't sound like God's blessing is on Australia it doesn't sound like
God is blessing that nation whatsoever just assures he's not blessing the entirety of Europe
right now he's not blessing Canada right now and he's definitely not blessing America right now
although recent cooler conditions and rain have brought some respite more than 50 fires are still
burning in the states of New South Wales and Victoria hot and Wendy can windy conditions are
forecast to return it says at least 33 people have been killed including four firefighters and
more than 11 million I don't know hectares I'm not sure what that is it must be some unit of
measurement then I'm not familiar with a bush forest and parks across Australia has burned and
there's this map if you're watching on YouTube you can see this map of fire detections slash
hotspots in Australia and it's gotten worse and worse since November of 2019 to January 2020 New
South Wales and Victoria have been worst affected and the worst hit state New South Wales fire has
affected more than 5 million hectares destroying more than 2,000 houses and forcing thousands to
seek shelter elsewhere if somebody in the chat room can help me understand what a Hector is I
would appreciate it I'm one of them Americans you know what I mean I don't know what these
Hector's are no we do yards and fate and inches over here you know what I mean but on a serious
note because this is a serious subject more than 1,600 firefighters are currently working to slow
the spread it says of fires and shore containment lines the NSW Rural Fire Service says and there
are some of the spots in which it's particularly bad Victoria New South Wales as well but yes this
does happen and God is capable obviously of kindling fires and we see the biblical evidence
for that which I read for you out of Jeremiah and Ezekiel does this mean every single instance of
this must be God's judgment no that's not what I'm claiming but I do think in terms of Australia
yes we know that California dealt with this in 2019 and I do believe that was the punishment of
God on a state that is not exactly godly although there is a great remnant there with first works
Baptist Church and Verity Baptist Church here's the final method God would use the final method
I'm going to cover at least that God would use to judge a nation how about oppression from a
foreign entity we see that in the book of Judges talks about in Deuteronomy 28 as well but for sake
of time I'm not going to read that pillar and ground says it sounds like something bigger than
an acre but then again I could be complete dipstick I think it's probably their equivalent
of an acre if I had to guess so there you go judges chapter 3 it says in the children of Israel did
evil in the sight of the Lord and forgot the Lord their God and served Balaam and the groves
therefore the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel and he sold them into the hand of Cushan
Rishithaem king of Mesopotamia and the children of Israel served Cushan Rishithaem eight years
that's judges chapter 3 verses 7 & 8 we see this cycle in the book of Judges where the children of
Israel will serve Baal they'll they'll commit idolatry they'll basically worship the devil
they serve here Balaam and the groves and judges chapter 3 it says that in verse 7 and then what
happens is that when God judges them when God decides to send an enemy nation to afflict them
and to oppress them then the children of Israel will repent and they'll say Lord we're sorry
please send us a deliverer and God will send them to deliver and then when God sends them to deliver
through his mercy they'll backslide again and they'll commit idolatry again and so God will
oppress them one more time after that and then they'll again turn back to the Lord send us a
deliverer and God will send them a deliverer because of his mercy and the fact that he is
long-suffering judges 6 is another example of this the famous story of Gideon who defeats the
Midianites well why did he have to war with the Midianites to begin with it's because God used
them to punish Israel to oppress them it says in Judges 6 verse 1 and the children of Israel did
evil in the sight of the Lord and the Lord delivered them into the hand of Midian seven
years and the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel and because of the Midianites the children
of Israel made them the dens which are in the mountains and caves and strongholds and so it
was when Israel had sown that the Midianites came up and the Amalekites and the children of the East
even they came up against them and they camped against them and destroyed the increase of the
earth till thou come unto Gaza and left no sustenance for Israel neither sheep nor ox nor
ass so just looking at the chat room here so we see that Midian was used to oppress Israel
because Israel had decided to backslide into a bunch of satanic idolatry now you might be asking
the question what would be a modern-day type application for a nation right we know that you
can make an application for an individual for sure but what about an entire nation what is the
occupying force that has a stranglehold over America how about the New World Order how about
the elites how about the globalists how about the wicked devils pedophiles who run this country you
know it was revealed recently to the surprise of no one that Bill Clinton was actually seen at
Jeff Epstein's private island we we already know that he had ridden on Epstein's Lolita Express
aircraft were all kinds of I can't even say it it's really bad all kinds of filth went on there
I'll just leave it at that involving underage women girls underage girls so Bill Clinton has
been caught okay several eyewitnesses saw him on Epstein's Island former president of the United
States many different world leaders as well have connections to Epstein why do you think they killed
him how do you think they killed him it's because he had a lot of dirt on a lot of very important
people why would I bring this up well it's because the people in charge are pedophiles
that's what the WikiLeaks revealed the WikiLeaks revealed that they used some coded language
talking about pizza and talking about other things that the FBI has confirmed our terms often used by
pedophiles and traffickers so as not to arise suspicion those were found in the WikiLeaks emails
specifically look at the Podesta emails and all the weird language they were using that points to
pedophilia this is why the left so badly wants you to forget about WikiLeaks and focuses so much
on Russia they want to divert the attention away from WikiLeaks and they want to focus on
Russiagate and they want you to be upset with Russia who supposedly had something to do with
those emails being released I don't care I don't care if Russia had anything to do with those
emails being released because you know what those emails showed a lot of wickedness going on a lot
of reprobate filth going on in the highest echelons of government and those people deserved to be
exposed nothing happened afterward Roger Stone recently was pardoned by Trump and I actually
thought that was a good move because Roger Stone didn't do anything wrong and again even if he
helped release those WikiLeaks emails I still don't think that he should be punished for something
like that because it's not the way in which those emails were retrieved that people should be
concerned with it's the contents themselves that matter and what we know about those emails is that
the people running the government are all a bunch of sick twisted individuals who prey on the
innocent and so they're the occupying force they're the occupying force right now the heathens if you
will who have control and although they have amassed tons of wealth although they've amassed
influence well one day they're gonna meet their end and they'll be cast into the lake of fire
where they'll be tormented day and night forever and ever but those are the ways that I think God
will judge a nation these are some of the curses the ways that he will punish a nation I talked
about oppression I talked about fires meteorology big storms specifically conflict slash violence
a sickness slash plague a famine there are other ways too I didn't talk about even the supernatural
stuff that happens like with Sodom and Gomorrah where he rained fire and brimstone from heaven to
wipe out the queers I didn't even touch on that there are other ways too that he will use to
punish a nation but for sake of time I just wanted to highlight those that we see in scripture
so what can we take from these truths is it simply to make you depressed is it simply just
to be negative for the sake of being negative no not at all the reason why I highlighted this here
on the show tonight is because we need to fear God we need to fear what God is capable of doing
we need to fear what God is capable of doing in our lives to this country today we need to fear
him we need to recognize that all these examples we see of curses that occurred in the Old Testament
can happen now so our response as God's people should be to try and stave off that judgment as
long as we can by continuing to be the righteous remnant and by the way it starts with you it
starts with the individual you might feel like you can't really make that big of a difference
but you actually can you can make a really big difference by going to your local New Testament
Church by getting plugged in being a blessing to the leadership being a blessing to your pastor
going out soul winning studying your Bible loving the brethren and you know memorizing scripture
living for God serving Jesus Christ something like this when you read through these passages
and you see what God has done to nations in the past should motivate us as individuals to propagate
his word to propagate God's Word but also to ensure that the righteous remnant continues to
do the Lord's work like I've already said multiple times to stave off his judgment this should be the
rocket fuel that propels us to keep soul winning to keep going to church and to keep serving Jesus
Christ because as long as we're doing that perhaps the Lord will show us some mercy because of
steadfast Baptist Church because of faithful word Baptist Church because of Verity Baptist Church
because of all scripture Baptist Church or even some old IFB churches are doing great works for
the Lord you know brother Norm Diamante from the Good Hope YouTube channel he doesn't go to a new
IFB Church but his church is still great I've listened to some of the preaching clips that he
uploads and they sound really good guy seems like he's right on salvation like he's got a ton of
zeal the the pastor there so I'm not saying that it's only the new IFB that's doing great works
for the Lord that's not the case at all but I think that when you read these things it should
motivate us to continue to have zeal for God so that perhaps he can have mercy he can have mercy
on this country and we don't see an example of some of these curses come upon us in our land
so that's really all I have folks I hope you guys enjoyed the the podcast tonight yeah it was a
little gloomy a little bit darker than maybe some of the things that I talked about even last week
with Pastor Anderson about staying positive and how to overcome adversity with a positive attitude
not focusing too much on the negative I do believe in those things and the Bible does talk about love
and mercy and kindness and I think those should be focused on as well but we also can't forget
about these warnings we see in Scripture warnings that we should take heed to because if we don't
we might see them come to pass in our nation you know what it's already happening in many ways but
it can definitely get a lot worse if we're not careful if we don't take heed if we don't look
at these examples that have occurred throughout biblical history and make sure that we are part
of the solution that will turn the tide in this country it sounds like it's a difficult task but
again it starts with the individual and it starts with you this is why I put out content like this
to motivate you get involved don't just sit on the sidelines don't just sit on your hands and do
nothing have zeal the Bible says that God has purified unto himself a peculiar people zealous
of good works are you zealous of good works I hope this podcast would motivate you to be someone who
is zealous for good works for the sake of our country thanks for listening everybody I finally
got an answer on the Hector by the way apparently a Hector is two point four seven acres so there
you go that's it for the podcast tonight god bless you all I'll be back next Monday with
pastor Aaron Thompson to talk about church planting and perhaps another pastor too will
be joining us stay tuned for that next Monday at 8 p.m. central but until then god bless you all
I will talk to you guys again after a while
you
