amen all right well this morning like I said we're starting a brand new series it's called wrong views about God wrong views about God and I'm not sure how many I'm gonna preach in this series some of them might believe together a little bit but the reason I'm preaching this series is because atheists God haters skeptics and scoffers will charge God foolishly with all manner of accusations they'll accuse Christians they'll accuse God and at one and one thing they'll say hey Jesus wouldn't do that but then they'll say I don't believe in Jesus you know I'm saying like people that are not saved or people that are heathens they hate or people that hate God not everybody hates God that's not saved I'm not saying that but people that hate God will also try to use our own God against us in a false manner and so the purpose of me preaching a series is I want people to have a little bit of ammunition to feed back and we need to know what what God you know what his truth brings forth we need to know you know what worries that in judgment worries that in all different manner of things and you know the things that people try to accuse us of doing I want you to be able to have an answer to give back to them so and people are especially like to charge God when it comes to his judgments and his people's judgments and so we as his children again are accused of judging where we shouldn't be or taking God's place in judging when it's not our job doubt you're out you're not supposed to judge you know people say that to you all the time don't they and that silences most Christians and the reason why it silences most Christians is because they don't even know the Bible themselves they don't even know a lot of them don't even have the right Bible version but not knowing the Bible and then letting some atheists say hey you know you're not supposed to judge and then that shuts them up because they don't know what the Bible says about judgment and there's a lot to be said about judgment there's 402 times where the Bible says the word judgment or judge in some way shape or form and so God is a God of judgment and whether people like that or not it's just the truth and unbelievers in general have a wrong view about God and his characteristics some try and succeed in brow beating and bullying Christians and I'm sick and tired of it I get tired of it so and you know these Christians will they'll say don't judge you're not supposed to judge that situation and then they fall over themselves to apologize to the person oh I didn't mean to judge you hey look God said we're supposed to judge and there is a God that judges in the earth there's a God that judges in heaven and he also allows his children to judge in situations I can't cast somebody into hell I don't even want to cast somebody into hell but you know God does and he allows us to judge in certain situations and I think it's it's it's time for us to be able to know what to say back and obviously a lot of people in this church would already know what to say okay but a lot of people don't know and maybe if you're new a new Christian or maybe you haven't read your Bible cover to cover maybe you don't understand the principles of God's judgment but that's what I'm gonna preach about today because it's important for us to be able to challenge the heathen when they make false accusations against God and when they make false accusations against Christians and I think it's time that we proclaim the Word of God and that and what he teaches in the Bible because look people have a wrong view of God they have a wrong view of who he is and what he's all about and most times people just make a God in their own image and they worship that God that they believe is their God you know people in Romans it says that people when they knew God they were not thankful and and they didn't want to believe in God they want to retain him in their knowledge and so God gave them up to a reprobate mind the Bible says and the reason why is because people want to form a God that they want to believe in my God wouldn't send anybody to hell okay well you don't believe the God of the Bible then because the Bible talks about hell multiple times and it talks about the judgment of God casting people into hell forever and look it's not just a poof you're gone like the Jehovah's Witnesses teaches and what the Seventh-day Adventist teaches they teach that you know hell is just like an incineration and then you're gone and you cease to exist that's not what the Bible teaches and so a lot of these Mormons and and all these even the Mormons they really honestly don't believe in hell if you get down to it they don't believe in hell they think that people have another chance once they're already in whatever I don't know what kind of purgatory they believe in or whatever but they believe that you could go to hell but you can have a way out if you believe in Jesus you believe in the Mormon Jesus or whatever so like who wouldn't choose the right choice in that in that situation that's not how it works see and people don't want hell to be real so they make up all these false doctrines and you know what these false prophets and that's what they are these false prophets want to make up things to send people to hell they send people to your doors called Jehovah's Witnesses they send people to your door called Mormons and I'll tell you what they're peddling a false gospel they're peddling death and hell for you that's what they want they want to pull you into their net and take and send you to hell so we should know what we're talking about when somebody challenges us with something on our faith and you know here's some here's some of the subjects I'll be covering in the weeks of fall is everyone God's child it's another false doctrine I'm not gonna go into it because I'm gonna preach a sermon about it but something the Mormons will teach hey everybody's God's child and you know what I think that people believe that a lot today just because of the Mormons well we're all God's children are are we no we're not that's not what the Bible teaches see people have a false view of God and here's another thing does is it your is it does God just love everybody no matter what there's another one does God just love everybody no matter what well God does God love everybody I mean people will say well God loves everybody we're not to judge him because God loves everybody we're all equal in God's eyes not true there's a point where God did love everybody but I'll tell you what there's a point you can cross where you will not where God will not love you anymore he said he loved Israel no more he's he there's people that get cast into hell does he does when they cast into the hell does he still love them that's ridiculous okay I'm gonna preach that sermon but I'll wait for that but the title of sermon today is simply just judgment and wrong views about God judgment okay let's look at Deuteronomy 32 verse 4 the Bible says right here he is the rock his work is perfect for all his ways are what what's that say right there judgment like it or lump it that's what God is he's a God of judgment a God of truth and without iniquity so God is is full of truth and without iniquity iniquity means he's sin he's without a nickel and without iniquity that means he's sinless okay just and right is he so there's nothing that's wrong about God's judgment every judgment you see in this book right here if you've ever read it in your life is good because God is the one that judged it and so what do you see I mean we were there were some pretty gnarly things being said and did around me chapter 32 wasn't there let's look at verse number 40 for if I lift up my hand to heaven and say I live forever if I wet my glittering sword what does that mean it means if I sharpen my my glitter my glittering sword it's a shining sword right so sword of the Lord if I wet my glittering sword and my hand take hold on judgment I will render vengeance to mine enemies and will reward them that hate me I will make mine arrows drunk with blood and my sword shall devour flesh and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy so God is a God of judgment and he's talking about shooting people with arrows and and that their blood is gonna you know that he's gonna spill their blood and people will go God isn't like that anymore Jesus isn't like that hey Jesus is God everything that's written in this book Jesus agrees with everything in the Old Testament it's not like there's two different gods the Old Testament God the New Testament God they're all the same God God doesn't change so God is forever the same he's immutable okay that means he doesn't change all right so the God of the Old Testament is the same exact God of the New Testament and Jesus Christ is the God of the Bible also so we believe at this church in the Trinity the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost these three are one that Jesus is part of the Trinity okay so not three different gods the same God right so no matter what judgment you see in the Bible God judges it it's right every single time you can set your clock to it you can set your navigation to it whatever you want to say everything said that God does in this book is right number one God will judge his people so I'm just gonna look at some different types of ways that God judges and those ways are right God will judge his people but you know people out there will say only God can judge me you're right he will though only God will judge me if you're being a whore you know people that are like in sin that's when they what they like to say only God can judge me they'll actually get a tattoo that says only God will judge me and guess what it's a sin to get a tattoo it says the Bible says I'll you know you're not gonna supposed to make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead nor print any marks upon you I am the Lord what part of that do you not understand and hey look if you've had a tattoo in your life I'm not against you I got tattoos too I regret those tattoos but is it right for me just because I have a tattoo to get up and say oh tattoos are just fine because I have one only God can judge me yeah he's gonna judge me you know what I don't I don't know what judgment he gave to me for that mark but there is a judgment I don't know what that is I think a lot of times people get these immune disorders from getting tattoos but look God's not gonna not punish sin he punishes sin every single time and so we got to understand that and so let's look at Hebrews chapter 12 God will judge his people okay so God's people are people that are saved that's what I'm talking about so God will still judge his people because judgment just means you're making a decision right we judge things every day do you judge the distance between you in the car in front of you or are you a tailgater and you just don't care well yeah sometimes we got to do what we got to do but but we judge things every day you judge how much milk you put in the cereal bowl and guess what sometimes you make a wrong judgment and then you have more milk than you're supposed to I mean isn't that isn't that just simple simple you know thing we judge things every day but yet people will say don't judge me you're not supposed to judge it's ridiculous and God will judge his people look at Hebrews chapter 12 verse 5 it says and you have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children my son despise not thou the chastening of the Lord nor faint when thou art rebuked of him see sometimes God's gonna chasten his children sometimes God's gonna chasten you know so it says my son see when I was talking about you know not everybody's a son or daughter of God not everybody's a child of God well the people that are the people are the people that are saved and he's gonna chasten you when you do wrong says for whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth every person that's saved is gonna get spanked by God not with a literal paddle it might be some sort of paddle like losing your job it might be you know getting you know having to get divorced or getting some kind of venereal disease or something like that God will will punish his children when they're in not in the will of God when they're doing things wrong and they know that they're wrong but God's not just waiting with a sledgehammer just to tee off on you every time you do something wrong you know obviously God gives us grace he's long suffering he's slow to anger slow to wrath but you know once you get to that point where it's like I don't care I'm gonna keep fornicating I don't care I'm gonna keep drinking drinking is not a sin I'm gonna you know tat up I'm gonna get the biggest sleeve you've ever seen and this and this and that look hey God and you know it's wrong and you know from the Bible that God says not to do that and you keep doing that he's gonna punish you he's gonna judge you but guess what you're not gonna lose your salvation because once you're saved you're always saved and that's what we believe at this church because what does everlasting mean well it means it lasts forever that's pretty simple isn't it so if you have salvation here and then you commit some sin and you lose it was it everlasting no because that doesn't make sense logic proves eternal security okay so let's see where am I at here verse number six it says for whom the Lord loveth he chaseneth and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth if you endure chastening God dealeth with you as sons for what son is he who the father chasteneth not but if you be without chastisement whereof all are partakers then are you bastards and not sons so the Bible is making it very clear hey if you're a bastard if you're not part of his family then you don't have to worry about the chastisement of God on your life to that to that degree that he's gonna do it with his children see when a Christian is late for work they're gonna get caught every time pretty much but the person that strolls in looking like their their hairs in a you know a bird's nest or something and they stroll in three or four or five minutes late every day most of the time those people don't get caught like the Christian does you're late one time boom you're hey where were you at you know that's just the way it is God's gonna make sure his children gets punished for the things they do and you'll see these you'll see people that are unbelievers get away with murder literally they'll get away with all kinds of things backstabbing gossip everything they do and they yet they still get promoted they still get all these things but you know that's because God allows the the rain to fall on the just and the unjust and God knows that there's a punishment for them later on that's gonna be everlasting fire and so God corrects us while we're here on this earth God will judge his people so but you know judgment isn't always a negative thing when it comes to the two people see people think that judgment is a is always negative it's not always negative it's positive in some areas so look at Revelation chapter 20 verse number four Revelation 20 verse number four judgment isn't always negative it's positive a lot of times it's positive so when God when God says he'll judge his people sometimes he's judging them for a positive thing look at verse number four it says and I saw thrones and they sat upon them and what judgment was given to them and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus and for the Word of God which had not worshiped the Beast neither his image neither had received his mark upon their foreheads or in their hands and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years so the Bible teaches that because these people didn't you know they were faithful unto death they they got their heads cut off basically not basically that's what happened and that they didn't receive the mark of the Beast they had the option they said no not gonna do it and they did all these great works well what's the reward they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years and you know what people that endure to the end in that type of a situation people that endure persecution like that they get a special blessing in heaven they get a crown of life and look at verse five it says but the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished this is the first resurrection blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection on such the second death hath no power but they shall be priests of God and of Christ and shall reign with him a thousand years so what's the reward what's the judgment that God gives in Revelation chapter 20 while he gives a good judgment doesn't he that's a good judgment I like being a priest of God and of Christ and reigning with him for a thousand years you know what I'm going to get to do that someday God has many blessings in store and he judges what we do so hey the person that gets saved and never does anything with their life for Christ guess what they're gonna have less rewards in heaven than the person that gets saved and does lots of works for God does that make sense he's gonna judge hey this guy got a thousand people saved this guy got zero people saved in his you know he basically liked football more than he liked God you know doesn't mean they're not saved just means that they just didn't do as much so God will judge our works he's gonna judge the things that we do but he's never gonna judge us to hell if we're saved well that's something God will never do you can never see that in the Bible anybody that brings up Hebrews chapter 6 or any of these other verses that would seem like it's a Christian losing their salvation it's not because the Bible is clear it's everlasting if the Bible is clear it's eternal life okay and so whatever you're bringing some obscure doctrine well look it says hey look come to me and I'll explain it to you at the end of the service okay so number two God judges with natural disasters God judges with natural disasters and people will say well I can't believe you'd say that you know these people you know that fire didn't happen because that how do you know you know and maybe some of it isn't the wrath of God I'll tell you what in the Bible you see natural disasters judging people all the time I mean it's through up from cover to cover of the whole Bible you see natural disasters in God's judgment okay that's what he uses that's his that's his thing right and he uses soldiers and armies and things like that Babylon was conquered by the Medes and Persians you know he used so he Babylon conquered Israel and Jerusalem and then God judged them for doing that to them by judging them with another nation that's how God works that's what he does look at 30 Deuteronomy 32 again in verse number 22 Deuteronomy 32 in verse number 22 where we first began this part might upset some people okay it's gonna warn you right now it's gonna that might upset you okay but look just listen to what the Word of God says don't get mad at me for thundering forth what God says all right so and look if I don't preach the whole counsel of God then what what good am I up here I preach a lot of different subjects I preach you know through the Bible a lot of different things I'm I do a Bible study in Psalms we're in the book of Mark right now I just preach what's there and a lot of the times things are negative because you know rebuke reprove rebuke exhort so two times negative one time positive all right and there always is gonna be a positive part of my message all right but this is the negative the really negative part okay look at verse 22 it says for a fire is kindled in mine anger and shall burn unto the lowest hell and shall consume the earth with her increase and set on fire the foundations of the mountains I will heap mischiefs upon them I will spend mine arrows upon them they shall be burnt with hunger and devoured with burning heat and with bitter destruction and I will send the teeth of beasts upon them with the poison of serpents of the dust this and the sword with a let's see I think I skipped the page nope I'm there all right sorry and the poisons of serpents of the dust the sword without and terror within shall destroy both the young man and the virgin the suckling also with the man of gray hairs that's a harsh judgment but how did he say he was gonna do it with the teeth of beasts what is that animals okay God will send a lions God will send animals against you God will send the hornets against you God will send snakes and you say well I've never seen that happen before really well what about pit bulls you ever seen pit bulls tear people up hey God still punishes with animals too he still punishes with the sword with the military against other nations hey I've got if they're godless God will come in and have another godless country come wipe them out he's done it for thousands of years and so don't get mad at me the Bible says that God will do those things alright so let's take some examples what about the flood was that a natural disaster was a flood its waters waters destroyed the whole face of the planet with every single living animal with every single living creature on the face of the earth every single person died in the flood and God wrecked the real estate of the earth with a giant flood that lasted for months it destroyed the whole earth water can destroy but he also judges with fire so but in the flood people will accuse God of being wicked by killing every person in the face of the planet the Bible says that there was only wickedness in the earth the thoughts and intents of their heart were only evil continually the Bible says so was God just and right to destroy the whole world with the flood including children and infants and animals and the cute little puppies and the cute little kitties yeah God was just look God created this world and he could do whatever he wants but I'll tell you remember the verse I read at the beginning all of his all of his judgments are right everything he does is good so you can try to reason it out with your human mind all you want but God said that it was right for him to destroy the earth but you know what he saved a remnant of people he saved a remnant of the animals so that they could repopulate the world and he saved a remnant of people so that they could repopulate replenish the earth so God just wiped out the wickedness and you know he restarted he pushed the reset button right with the flood so and again God does punish with animals he punishes with plagues you know in the Bible it talks about he'll send these plagues upon you things that can't be cured what do you think that what do you think AIDS is they were like oh that was started with the heterosexual no it wasn't they just lie it was called grid before it was called AIDS you know what grid stands for what's it stand for brother Dylan just what gay related immune disorder yeah so it started out as something that started killing the homosexual population you know but homos go both ways you're like I can't well that person's married I don't understand yet they're a homo they're pretending they go both ways so yeah it did kill heterosexuals and heterosexuals got it and pass it off to their heterosexual partners but it's a it's all the AIDS is a punishment of God upon the surf so is syphilis and any other disease you want to talk about God uses diseases to destroy people why because they're worthy of their destruction God sends famine you can see throughout the whole Bible I mean just think of the famine during the time of Joseph it was it was a really bad famine seven years of plenty but they'd forgotten all about the seven years of plenty when the seven years of famine came and those seven years of famine were I mean basically the whole nation of Egypt end up selling everything that they had and selling themselves into servitude under Joseph and Pharaoh fire in that verse it says he's gonna he's gonna he's gonna bring a quench unquenchable fire that nobody's out able to put out we have let me read this verse for you just as we go here Jeremiah 21 verse 12 says Oh house of David thus saith the Lord execute judgment in the morning and deliver him that is spoiled out of the land of the oppressor let my fury go out like fire and burn that none can quench it because of the evil of your doings so tell me this does God judge people of fire yes or no it says because of the evil of your doings I'm gonna burn that none can quench it I'm gonna start a fire that you're not gonna be able to put out you know when God when the fire gets put out when God wants it to go out and you know living in the northwest a couple years ago their whole countryside was on fire we were going up to a preaching assoning meeting and on the other side of the Columbia River we were on the Washington side on the on the Oregon side it was completely on fire now it was scary I'm glad that we have a big huge river between us but that's a scary thing when you see the fire burning we had a lot of wildfires and things like that and look the wildfires are getting worse and worse in California in Oregon in Washington and all over places in the whole world so you see the fires you've heard about the fires that are going on in Australia right now well we're 500 million half a billion animals have died already to their accounting 13 humans but people you know notice that people are always just in the in the corner of the animals first over everything you know why because people worship animals to their destruction I love animals I'm a proponent of animals I have three dogs but I'll tell you what I wouldn't trade their lives from one of my kids those dogs would go right to the you know the glue factory as soon as you know if there was a choice I'm not it's not gonna be a choice for me because God loves and or humans more than he loves animals it's a fact he wiped out every single animal on the face of the planet and look in Australia right now there's hundreds of thousands of animals being killed in only a few humans but you know what it's a judgment of God I believe it's a judgment of God you know why because Australia has rejected the gospel as a whole and like anything that happens to them is gonna be because of their own doings this is because of the evil of your doings you know Australia was started out as like a prison colony from England and you know I'm sure the Gospels gone around Australia quite a few times but just recently they kicked out and a missionary that was preaching the Word of God there because he was daring to fight against the Muslims there he was making a documentary against Muslims our pastor Logan Robertson was making this documentary and they trapped him at this location and then they arrested him and they held him you know by the time he got done there being mistreated by the Australian government he had to walk a lot of people don't know this but he had to walk from that place to his house with no shoes on his feet in the dark at two o'clock in the morning they released him and made him walk with no shoes so mistreat what you know what happens when people mistreat God's man like that God is gonna bring judgment Pastor Anderson tried to go and do a soul just a soul anything it's not I'm it's not like he was going to preach against the homosexuals he wasn't going to do it he's just going to get people saved you know what they said he's not allowed to come into our country and so when people reject the Word of God as a whole as a nation when people reject God's men as a whole as a nation you know what don't be surprised when a wildfire burst out in your country and all your animals get killed and people are dying too but God's merciful you know he could just torch the whole country if he wanted to but God wants people to be saved and there are some still some good pastors in that country but you know what as a whole they pretty much read is you think it's unreceptive here it's unreceptive more there and so God is burning those little critters and he set the you know you want to know who set the fire God set the fire that's what I believe you can disagree with me all you want but you know they worship the animals over there it's a big deal people go and travel to Australia it's really expensive you know and there's all these different kinds of cool animals I like animals I think the animals in Australia are great I like them but then you know you have the crocodile hunter who remembers the crocodile hunter Steve Irwin right I liked watching that show but you know what he was a god he didn't believe in God and he showed that through and through many times he believed in evolution and he basically worshipped animals and didn't worship the Creator and what happened to Steve Irwin he got killed by the very thing that he loved a stingray got him right through the heart you think that was an accident I don't think that was an accident at all but unfortunately his child Bindi is is following in his footsteps and I really wanted to get these people triggered because there's this this Facebook article where it said the crocodile hunters family is is saving Australia's animals one animal at a time and all these people are like oh yes Steve Irwin's smiling down from heaven he's so happy about everything that they're doing look Steve Irwin's roasting in hell he is anybody said how do you know that pastor Thompson cuz he wasn't saved that's why anybody that is not saved goes straight to hell and so he's not smiling down from heaven about what his family's doing he's probably saying please send Pastor Anderson to save Bindi please send a pastor or a preacher to save my my family's souls what are the guy the the rich man say he said send somebody to my family he didn't say please let me out of here he knew he wasn't getting out what do you say send somebody to save my family and and he said what Abraham say to him he said if they won't hear Moses in the province neither will they believe if someone you know rose from the dead right so look you might get upset about the fact that I said that Steve Irwin's in hell look I was just watching his videos the other day he was he was really entertaining to watch have you ever watched the episode where he goes against the Komodo dragons that was a freaky episode man I couldn't even imagine you know you know and he just he would play with snakes that are the most venomous snakes in the world like oh you almost got me you know but some one of them finally did get him you know what if you worship animals if you worship the creature more than the Creator don't be surprised if judgment comes to your town don't be surprised if judgment comes to your family don't be surprised if judgment comes to you because God's not gonna put up with it he doesn't have to he's not the God that you think he is he's a god of judgment and all those precious little animals are worth nothing compared to the to the value of a human soul I'm sick of people worshiping animals it's gotten out of control and well I'm gonna preach against it all the time whenever I can they worship animals they walk around and scoop up their poop they buy them this super expensive dog food and they can't even afford to eat their own food they can't even afford to buy McDonald's and they're not buying their their their dogs just like hundred and fifty dollar a sack of food because they have to have the best my dogs been living on old Roy for his whole life he's doing just fine all my dogs live the old ages we had Methuselah dog Tonto and he lived to be 19 years old and you know what he ate every day oh boy he was just fine he lived to a grand old age but man people are out of control at this animal worshiping you know what God's gonna do he's gonna turn those animals against people it says that by the the biting you know that these beasts are gonna bite and devour in the book of Revelation it says the beasts of the earth it's gonna be part of the judgment the very thing that people worship God's gonna turn against them have anybody heard of that documentary called don't with cats you ever heard of that one it doesn't say the word it's just like a blue look you know it's supposed to be a cuss word I think but anyway in that in that documentary this homosexual and he was a homosexual there's no doubt about that okay he vacuum seals these kittens he puts them in a bag and he's that he sucks all the oxygen out and suffocates them and then he puts it on the internet it's a real story and so he did that then he's like the next video he's posing these animals around and doing he's weird you know and so then he he goes on and he's like just toying with these people are trying to track him down and so he takes a person and he drugs them stabs them to death with a nice pick and then kills a puppy after that puts it on the video puts it on the internet but one thing that really bothered me about that I mean the whole thing was pretty bothersome you know first of all the guys a sodomite so he's capable of anything second of all it's weird to hurt animals okay that's the first step to becoming a serial killer if you're you know obviously if you got a paddle your dog for peeing in the house I mean people freak out over that too it's like come on but anyway so the guy then he kills a puppy and so the two people that are recollecting one of them is like the law enforcement the head of the law enforcement and the other one is just like one of the characters in the documentary but both times in the film that they that people cried it wasn't when the human being got killed it was when the animals got killed people for some weird reason put animals lives over the top of humans lives and that's where it gets strange you know they did they they they were talking about this person getting killed and the next thing you know they're thinking about the puppy what about the human being that got killed you didn't seem to be bothered by him getting stabbed to death with an ice pick but plot twist the guy was a sodomite so I don't really care that he got killed honestly you know you get what you get what you deserve when you go and and try to do some weird stuff with people but if it was just like a normal innocent person I would be you know I obviously when the guy was a sodomite so I didn't really care but then at that point they're equal to me you know I don't really care either one but you know it's weird to hurt animals but it's also weird to only cry when an animal dies and not when a human dies and some people are so attached to animals that they you know cry before they would cry over human being that's where this world's gotten to the worship of animals oh the poor animals in Australia what about the 13 people that got killed you don't see it mentioning the 13 people that got killed all they care about is the animals that got burnt in the fire you know what God can raise more animals up the population could be re-controlled but you know what the real main problem is is these people forgot God and the nations that forget God shall be sent to hell that's what they need to understand so number three God judges nations that and people that hate him God judges nations and people that hate him look at back at Deuteronomy 32 verse 39 it says see now that I even I and he and there is no God with me I kill and I make alive I wound and I heal neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand for I lift up my hand to heaven I say I live forever I know I've already read these verses if I wet my glittering sword and mine hand take hold on judgment I will render vengeance to mine enemies I'll reward them that hate me see God will reward people that hate them but guess what it's not with everlasting life he's gonna reward them according to what they deserve he's gonna judge based on what they've done it says I'll make mine arrows drunk with blood my sword shall devour flesh and and that with the blood of the slain the captives from captives from the beginning of revenge's upon mine enemy rejoice all you nations with this with his people for he will avenge the blood of his servants and will render vengeance to his adversaries and will be merciful unto the land and to his people see God's merciful to his people but it says that he's gonna render vengeance to his adversaries the people that hate God are gonna have a recompense and they might live to be a hundred and twenty years old still blaspheme in the name of the Lord and all this stuff but in the end guess what they're gonna get repaid for the things that they've done and God is the God of judgment he can do what he wants Psalm chapter 9 turn to Psalm chapter 9 Psalm chapter 9 verse 17 Psalm chapter 9 verse 17 the Bible says the wicked shall be turned into hell and all the nations that forget God is that me saying this or is that the Bible saying this the wicked shall be turned into hell and all the nations that forget God and guess what Australia forgot God guess what North Korea forgot God guess what China forgot God and you know what this nation is beginning to forget God also this nation that we live in is forgotten God as a whole I'm not saying that there's not people that are not you know look you're all in church today so not everybody's forgotten God but a lot of people have look what it says in verse 18 for the needy shall not always be forgotten the expectation of the poor shall not perish forever arise O Lord let not man prevail let the heathen be judged in thy sight put them in fear O Lord that the nations may know themselves to be but men see sometimes nations they start thinking of their God and the people in the nation's thing there's people that actually say I'm God have you heard someone say that at the door you knock on someone's door hey what does it take to be saved and then ultimately they you get to the point where they go well I'm God Oh God can you make me something really quickly hey God can you give me a new Ferrari I'm God that's what this Eastern religion stuff promotes that basically that they are God and hey when you make yourself a God in your own image then basically anything can be God that you want it to be but what's the real truth we got a book we have a book called the Bible that has all the answers in it and it says who made the heaven and the earth it says who God is and guess what it's not you so God you know in the Psalm it's David saying hey let the heathen be judged in thy sight put them in fear Oh Lord hey God you should people should fear God says the nation that the nations may know themselves to be but men hey you better start looking at yourself a little lower than you than you are right now because these people that think that they're God or think that their God is mightier than than the true God of heaven and earth they got another thing coming they're gonna there's gonna be a recompense God will judge those people Isaiah Jeremiah and many other prophets preached specifically against nations specifically I preach against the nation of Russia I got I guess I got to do a new preach against the country here at some point I guess Australia's kind of gotten a little bit of the heat today but but in the in the Bible you see prophets they judge nations God says hey go to that nation and preach against them what do you tell what do you tell Jeremiah Jeremiah went on a trip just preaching and say hey preach this against them preach this against them and he had to go stand in front of these people in their leadership and just tell them that hey guess what you're going to hell God's gonna overthrow you you're all gonna die that's a pretty scary judgment but why is God do stuff like that because he wants them to be afraid so that they'll fear the Lord and be saved see God want you know he didn't come to he came to save the world not to condemn the world but you know sometimes people just don't want to be saved and so they turn to their own way turn to Revelation chapter 18 I personally believe that we are living in Babylon the Babylon of the end times and I don't think any any other country at this point fits the bill if you know we go on for another thousand years maybe it's gonna transfer its power but the Bible prophesied that Babylon the Medes and the Persians the Greek Empire and the Roman Empire would come and that there would be a nation that would come after it that would that would be like those other nations and so there's a spirit that goes into these other nations I think Egypt had that spirit I think that the Assyrians had that spirit and then because in Zechariah you can see where that spirit is transferred to Babylon and so I believe that this country is Babylon and there's a great film called Babylon USA I suggest you watch it because it's basically everything's playing out that basically that movie teaches right now so we're taking out I don't know if anybody saw this but somebody posted a video where it shows all the people are at that guy's funeral the guy that Trump took out just recently thousands and thousands and thousands of people I mean this helicopters flying over all the people are going to that guy's funeral you think that they're not riled up they're definitely riled up but you know there's only a few countries that don't have the the basically the one world currency and that Iran's one of them Afghanistan's another one Iraq's another one I don't know what the other ones are but there there's a few different ones and why are we going to war against these Middle Eastern countries because they don't want to be part of our Babylon USA and so what are we gonna do we're gonna go take them out and so well look what God does in Revelation 18 1 he bet he he's gonna one day he's gonna judge this place that we live in but you know God's always allowed his prophets to operate within these systems to you know think about Egypt Moses you know think about the Assyrian Empire you know the Jonah and and other men of God that were allowed to operate and people still thrived in those in those times but Babylon you know Daniel you think of Daniel and Shadrach Meshach and Abednego and then you know so on and so forth but God's always allowed his people to be able to to operate in these wicked places and so you know there's no place that sent out more missionaries in the United States of America but at the same time there's no place on earth that's more wicked than the United States of America so look at Revelation 18 1 says after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven having great power and the earth was lightened with his glory and he cried mightily with a strong voice saying Babylon the greatest fallen is fallen has become the habitation of devils and the hold of every foul spirit and the cage of every unclean and hateful bird talking about how many demons are in this country right now for all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her and the merchants in the earth of the earth are rash waxed rich through the abundance of their delicacies and I heard another voice from heaven saying come out of her my people that you be not partakers of her sins and that you might receive not of her plagues so at this point they're still gonna be people that are saved that live here but God's saying get out while you can it says for her sins have reached unto heaven and God hath remembered her iniquities reward her even as she reward you and double unto her double according to her works in the cup which she has filled filled to her double how much she hath glorified herself and lived deliciously so much torment and sorrow give her for she saith in her heart I sit a queen and am no widow and shall see no sorrow therefore hurt shall her plagues come in one day death and mourning and famine and she shall be utterly burned with fire for strong as the Lord God who judgeth her and the kings of the earth who have committed fornication and live deliciously with her shall bewail her and lament for her when they shall see the smoke of her burning standing afar off for the fear for torment saying alas alas that great city Babylon that mighty city for in one hour is thy what judgment come God is going to judge Babylon this is a literal place this is a literal city I believe it's the United States of America and I don't have time to preach a whole sermon about it right now but there's no other country that matter if you read Revelation 16 17 18 it's no there's no doubt there's no other country that matches you know all the things that are in here and look God's gonna judge he's gonna utterly burn it with fire and so I don't know how if it's one city if it's the whole country or what it is I'm hoping like I said Hawaii is saved from the 2,500 miles of water in between because the sailors have to be somewhere you know the sailors are gonna look afar off and weep and wail well that means it doesn't go into the ocean anyway that's my that's my biblical justification but anyway God is gonna judge Babylon USA he's gonna judge the nations that hate him the nations that forget him and number five God allows his people to judge God allows his people to judge so and it's in a limited capacity okay obviously we can't judge and be in the place of God but there's certain things that God allows us to judge in look at John 7 24 so this is to those people that don't understand God they don't understand judgment and these unbelievers that like to say to Christians you're not supposed to judge guess what you're not supposed to judge don't judge me judge judge look they just this is where they I'll get to that in just a second but look at what the Bible says okay let's look at what God says let's look at what Jesus says all right John 7 24 says judge not see this is where all unbelievers stop reading right here judge not what's it say judge not according to the appearance but judge righteous judgment so we are Christian supposed to judge yes or no yeah we're supposed to not judge according to the appearance we're supposed to judge according to righteous judgment what is righteous judgment well the things that God says are righteous those are the things that we can judge him the things that God says are unrighteous those are the things we can judge him if he says thou shall not steal and someone steals something in a Christian says hey you're not supposed to steal and they say don't judge me that's that's not that doesn't make sense how would we put murderers to death if we didn't judge people you know people this con this state doesn't put murderers to death anymore because they don't understand proper judgment they'll judge babies to death they'll let babies be killed in the womb but they won't punish us a convicted multi rapist multiple multiple mass murderer but they'll judge babies in the womb and let them be killed that's how twisted the judgment of the United States is right now well they'll let children die 3,000 children a day will die in some operating table in some place in Babylon USA but then you know it takes an act of Congress to put Ted Bundy to death and he gets stays and stays and stays and they're oh you know he didn't have to get killed tonight there's multiple people on death row in California Washington and Oregon and other places around this country that deserve to have the death penalty pronounced upon them and yet you know we're but we're gonna kill the children instead it's wicked as hell but we're not supposed to judge someone's a mass murderer hey you're not supposed to judge just you know just let them live so they we can suck the tax dollars out of the American people and have the prison industrial complex keep rolling along you know cuz they're worth a lot alive aren't they big three hots and a cot cable TV in their rooms x-boxes full workout room they come out as super convicts if they ever come out they're all muscle bound and tatted up it's wicked it's a wicked system look at 1st Corinthians chapter 6 verse 2 1st Corinthians 6 verse 2 so what so what I'm talking about is God allowing his people to judge all right Jesus said to judge by righteous judgment did Jesus say to judge yes or no yes now look what it says in 1st Corinthians 6 2 says do not do you not know that the Saints shall judge the world guess what we get to judge the world someday that's what it says right and if the world shall be judged by you are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters so talking about things in church are we allowed to judge the smallest matters got what's he saying he's saying yeah you should judge the smallest matters so it's no you not that we shall judge angels someday we're gonna judge angels how much more things that pertain to this life so he's talking about the kingdom that's gonna be coming we're gonna be judging but he said what about the things in this life and we're gonna judge the world in the next life to come how much more the things that pertain to this life if then you have judgments of things pertaining to this life set them to judge who are the least esteemed in the church it's taught you know and in the context is talking about kicking this person out of church so we should be able to just so the whole judge not mentality if there's someone in this church and we know that they're a hardcore alcoholic and they just drink themselves to sleep every single night and we know that they're a drunkard the Bible says in 1st Corinthians that we're supposed to kick people out like that and in chapter 5 we're supposed to kick people out that are fornicating openly fornicating we're supposed to kick people out that are railers we're supposed to kick people out you know for for various different things God's saying hey if you can judge the things in the life to come if you can judge the things in the afterlife and that you know in the kingdom of heaven you should be able to judge the things that pertain to this life also hey and if you can't do it find the least esteemed person in the church and let them do it if you're so righteous you're so holy you're so puffed up in your vain mind that you can't judge and let somebody else judge that you know has a backbone what the just let the least esteemed in the church little Eli come up here judge this person kick him out he's like yeah I will but he probably would too but not that he's the latest thing he's just young so that's why that's what I meant by that but anyway we should be able to judge things in the church can we judge to kick somebody out of this church yes or no yes can we judge righteous judgment on somebody yes first Peter 4 17 I'll have you turn to Matthew chapter 7 I gotta hurry 1st Peter 4 17 says for the time has come the judgment must begin at the house of God where are we at right now the house of God this is the church the pillar and ground of the truth and it says the judgment must begin at the house of God not end begin and if it first begin at us what shall the end of them be of them that obey not the gospel of God so we're supposed to begin judgment here in the house of God all right and I'm not saying that we're gonna judge murders to be put to death or things like that look we have a justice system that's supposed to work and so when God comes back when Jesus comes back and gives us glorified bodies and we rule and reign with him for a thousand years things are gonna be right again things are gonna be normal again we're not gonna see drag queen story hour in every single city in this state or in this country or in this world it's not gonna be anymore praise God for that or what's his what's that freaks name that was on the magazine cover Bruce degenerate yeah Bruce Jenner that molested every single person's eyeballs that ever had to walk into a Walmart that week and makes it seem normal to people it's not normal you know why they're trying to reach the kids with dragons of Queens story hour is so that our kids think it's normal it's not normal anybody that looks at one of those freaks and thinks that's normal you got to go have your head examined go check into a hospital somewhere of course they probably think say that you were normal because the system that we live in is so weird but anyway you're in Matthew chapter 7 here's here's where they get here's where the the unbelievers they this is where they pull for their doctrine from that they beat us up with right judge not that you'd be not judged judge not and that is seriously a parrot repeating itself to every single unbeliever to every single person that hates God and those like in the meeting the immediately when a Christian gives their opinion on what's right and what's wrong what do people say immediately judge not what do people say to me every single week when I get my little comment section from my Billy Graham sermon judge not who are you to judge I'll tell you who I am I'm a man of God I'm a pastor and I'm a saved person that I can take the Bible and I can say hey this is a righteous judgment Billy Graham was not saved and you know why he wasn't saved because he said all roads lead to heaven do they all lead to heaven no then he's a false prophet he's a wicked person and yeah he could preach and make it seem like it sounds okay but in reality excuse me he was a lying devil and he is roasted in hell with Steve Irwin and they're not hanging out together because it was contrary to popular belief you don't get to hang out with your buddies in hell okay it's darkness it's wailing it's gnashing of teeth it's the judgment of God he's not gonna let you have some kind of you know jam session with your buddies from the Rolling Stones when they die and go to hell so look at what it says judge not that you be not judged for with what judgment you judge you shall be judged and with what measure you meet it shall be measured to you so what's Jesus saying he's saying hey if you're judging people that you're doing the same thing then you're wrong and you're gonna get judged for whatever you think that they should be judged for says why beholdest out the moat and I brothers I but consider it's not the beam that is in 909 that'd be like me getting up and saying hey you guys should tithe if you're not tithing you're wicked you're wrong you're stealing from God and then I'm not tithing that's judging with unrighteous judgment that's me being a hypocrite and saying hey you guys should tithe but I'm not tithing isn't that true that's what it's talking about is saying if you're gonna try to pull the moat a moat is like a little sliver out of someone's eye and you got a giant beam hanging out of your eye it's like you know brother I've been meaning to tell you that you should be tithing come on that's what it's talking about it's not saying don't judge at all it's saying don't judge unrighteous judgment look it says or or wilt thou say to thy brother let me pull out the moat of thine eye and behold a beam is in thine own eyes thou hypocrite first cast out the beam out of thine own eye then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the moat out of thy brother's eye so is it wrong to pull the moat out of someone else's eye yeah it is as long as you don't have a beam sticking out of your own eye hey get the get the sin out of your life in that area don't be a hypocrite don't sit there and get on to people for things that you're doing yourself that's what it's talking about but see people will stop it judge not lest you be judged and we need to understand that people are doing that on purpose to try to bully you to try to stop you from speaking what the truth is they're trying to stop you from from proclaiming what God's Word says what did John the Baptist do to get himself into so much trouble what did he do why did he get arrested why because he said it's not lawful for you to have your brother's wife he stole his brother's wife and John was preaching against him and they had him arrested she wanted to have him killed immediately and ultimately she got her way with her seductive daughter's little whorish dances but why did John the Baptist get his head cut off because he was judging righteous judgment you know what any any preacher with the salt should be able to stand up and say something's wicked and hey it was against the ruler of his people wasn't that he still preached it because he was wrong so we can still preach on the sin as long as not condemning the office right so Romans 12 19 says dearly beloved see and this is where we got to understand we can't judge a certain point we can't we can only judge to a certain point we it's not right for us to take the law in our own hands and say you know what that person's a sodomite let's have some you know rock practice that's not right for us to do because that's not we're out of our element at that point and we'll get our chances later on but look what if the Bible says look God tells us to do in situations where for you know government supposed to get involved or God Romans 12 9 19 says dearly beloved avenge not yourselves but rather give place unto wrath for it is written vengeance is mine I will repay sayeth the Lord so look if you don't try to be that person that's you know you're not taking the law into your own hands you're not avenging yourself God look God says I will repay don't you don't have to worry about it and so you might get really mad and want to hurt somebody or you might get really mad and think that they deserve to get beat up or they deserve this or that and you're right they do but God says we're supposed to let him repay and you know what God is gonna make them get repaid and we're gonna get satisfied with our the vengeance that God gives for us amen so number six I'm done here I'm just gonna show you one vert one set of verses here turn to Revelation 20 verse 12 this the last ones I'll have you turn to God is able to judge people to hell God is able to judge people to hell revelation chapter 20 verse 12 says and I saw the dead small and great stand before God and the books were open another book was open which was the book of life and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books according to their works see we're not judged according to our works Christians aren't according to their works to be saved but I'll tell you what someone that tries to work their way to heaven they will be judged by their works because they're trying to be righteous with their works to go to heaven and they're gonna be judged by the very things that they thought that was gonna get him to heaven says they were judge every man according to their works and death and hell were cast in the lake of fire this is the second death and whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire and you know what God is justified to do those things because God is the judge God decides who goes to heaven or hell you know honestly though people that are saved they make their own choice people that are unsaved make their own choice God just tells you the consequences for making the wrong choice because there's a lot of things that you can make wrong choices on in life but not all of them are gonna get you sent to hell they'll tell you what if you don't believe on Jesus Christ for your salvation and him only and nothing else of your own works you know you got to believe the right thing if you believe that Jesus is the only way to heaven and you've trusted him and asked him to save you you're gonna go to heaven that's the choice that you make he doesn't force you to make that choice but on the other hand if you say you know what I think that me and Jesus do it together and I'm gonna do good works and I think that the good outweighs the bad and I think that my good works somehow have something to do with my salvation then you're gonna be judged according to your works and God will be right to judge you that way because you didn't believe the truth so in conclusion just remember that we are allowed to judge what God has already judged as wicked God does use natural disasters plagues famine and animals to judge the earth he uses fire he uses water God will judge his enemies and yours he'll avenge you of the enemies that you have also God judges nations and then they hate him we need to remember that everything he does is right that includes every judgment he's ever made in the whole Bible don't get sucked into what the world tries to tell us that God is like when the Bible says something different challenge people I'm not saying be mean be hostile or anything like that every once in a while you you know you get the gay theist or agnostic that just is a god-hater a clear god-hater sometimes you gotta sell tell people the way it is but don't get sucked in and let the world make you apologize for everything you've ever said they don't know God we know God they don't know the Bible we know the Bible don't let someone that doesn't know the Bible and doesn't know God tell you what God's like I'll just read this lap the the last verse I read at the beginning he is the rock his work is perfect and all his ways are judgment a god of truth and without iniquity just and right is he let's pray Lord we thank you so much for your judgments Lord we pray Lord that you'd help us to be good Christians Lord and help us to not receive the wrath that that we would deserve from you Lord not wrath but Lord punishment pray you'd help us to be a people that's that tries to get sin out of their life Lord help us to rightly judge things help us to not judge things as hypocrites Lord and help us to remember that you're the one that avenges us in against our enemies and we shouldn't try to take matters into our own hands Lord we thank you for everybody that's here pray for everybody that's sick pray that you lift them up help them to get better and come back to church next week Jesus name we pray Amen
