Why We Were Created Equal
00:03:58

|
| What did God say and why do you believe it so strongly? | |
| Well, it was a two-part dream. | |
| And honestly, our prophetic friend Bob Jones, many of you have heard about him, used talk to me often about the coming, there's a coming another American Revolutionary War. | |
| Wow. | |
| And I'd listened to him because I learned to trust Bob and what he got, but somehow I never connected until I had that dream. | |
| And then I saw it. | |
| But, you know, we had a divine purpose as a nation. | |
| And that was elaborated on and declared in our Declaration of Independence. | |
| To be a place where there was, you know, all men are created equal and treated equally under the law. | |
| Doesn't mean we're all treated, well, created equally in smarts or looks or abilities, but under the law, we're all equal. | |
| And there had to be justice for all. | |
| And then we, you know, if we had really done what we believed, there could not have been slavery. | |
| We'd already said there's, you know, all men are created equal. | |
| There could not have been slavery. | |
| There could not have been even discrimination. | |
| But because they embraced and, you know, a lot of things and worked out some of the things they had declared, it's like except for this group of people. | |
| And the Civil War became inevitable because they didn't do what they had declared for the Revolutionary War. | |
| So we had to have this great civil war to deal with this issue of slavery. | |
| How could we live so hypocritically, declaring all men are created equal, justice for all, and have slavery in our midst? | |
| So the Civil War became inevitable. | |
| Civil War didn't finish the job. | |
| How could if we really believed this, how could there, there would have been no need for the civil rights movement. | |
| How could there be any kind of inequality or things like that as far as rights and opportunities on our land? | |
| But we really were created to be a place where all people are treated with dignity and respect equally under the law, equally in opportunity and everything, where, you know, true unity is not a unity of conformity. | |
| It's a unity of diversity. | |
| God created the different nations and races and tribes and all this, not so we had to all come into one kind of big vanilla thing where we're all the same and think that, no, it's, you know, the unity of our physical body is because our heart realizes the lungs need to be different. | |
| They have a different function and where we start respecting the uniqueness and the differences among each other. | |
| That's how God created us. | |
| When it says he made man in his image, he's really made mankind, but he made mankind diverse because God loves diversity. | |
| Makes every snowflake different. | |
| And he's a creator. | |
| He loves creativity. | |
| And we were ordained to be a nation, which they reference and they, of course, establish this clearly in their private writings and the Federalist Papers. | |
| They're talking about Christian, Judeo-Christian God. | |
| But anyway, we've become a nation that basically says we don't want God anymore. | |

When God Leaves

|
| That's right. | |
| And, you know, in Revelation 3, 21, he stands at the door of his church, knocking to see if anybody will open. | |
| In this age, you don't want him. | |
| He will not come in. | |
| That's right. | |
| And we start saying to God, we don't want him in our country. | |
| We don't want even the mention of you in prayers. | |
| We don't want you, the mention of your Ten Commandments or anything else. | |
| He leaves. | |
| And when He leaves, the protection, the hedge around us, everything else, we're wide open to this. | |
