City of Refuge
00:03:10

|
| And by the way, I just found out this week you also are on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. | |
| I don't know how you got those two times. | |
| That's prime time, isn't it? | |
| That's prime time. | |
| And you got two prime. | |
| Somebody out there loves you. | |
| Including me. | |
| But you are building a place we call ours the city of refuge. | |
| You call yours. | |
| We call it Goshen, like from the book of Exodus. | |
| Amen. | |
| Where it was safe, you know, five times in the book of Exodus, it said when the plagues came, not in Goshen. | |
| Not in Goshen. | |
| What does that mean? | |
| Do you mean? | |
| What does Goshen mean? | |
| What is it? | |
| Meaning a place of refuge. | |
| Exactly the same. | |
| Oh, in Australia, where we're building the first one, it will be, you know, there'll be more. | |
| But it's basically an off-grid place, a place that, because we were in the most locked down city in the world. | |
| I don't know if people realize that, but it wasn't. | |
| Yeah, it wasn't North Korea. | |
| It was Melbourne, Australia. | |
| Crazy. | |
| The most locked down city. | |
| So we locked down over and over. | |
| We had such tight restrictions. | |
| I think it's so hard to imagine, but we could not drive for many weeks, many months. | |
| We could not drive more than five kilometers away from our home, enforced by the police. | |
| And that's three miles over here. | |
| That's crazy. | |
| Where can you go in Springfield or Branson for three miles? | |
| You haven't gone anywhere. | |
| You've just gotten to the edge of the property here. | |
| That's right. | |
| So it alerted us. | |
| I mean, we've been preaching end time for a long time. | |
| You know, since 9-11, 2001, the alarm bells rang. | |
| It's time to be serious about it. | |
| And back then, you know, it was an odd thing for pastors to preach end time. | |
| It was strange. | |
| It was like, you're not pastoring. | |
| You're doing something else. | |
| I said, no, I am pastoring. | |
| I'm preaching the whole word of God. | |
| We need to not neglect this part. | |
| It's one-third of the Bible's prophecy. | |
| That's right. | |
| But it really rang. | |
| You know, it really told us things change so fast. | |
| You read it, you know, it's in the Bible, but you don't think it's going to happen like this. | |
| And the speed at which people complied. | |
| This was actually something that I off topic, but Singapore, they talked about this. | |
| Lee Kuan Yew was the founder of Singapore, and he lived through World War II. | |
| And he wrote this in his autobiography that he learned from the Japanese how quickly you can control people. | |
| So he actually built, he's not, it wasn't ashamed to say, he built Singapore as kind of a soft police state modeled after Japan because he knew it could be done very quickly. | |
| Japan just rolled in and rich people bowed down. | |
| Rich people said, you know, whatever you tell me to do, I'll do. | |

Young People's Misunderstanding

|
|
| And all you needed was some examples, which is, I think, something you understand. | |
| They pick somebody to be a target. | |
| They make an example of that person, and then everyone is afraid. | |
| That's right. | |
| That's how it works. | |
| That's how they do it. | |
| I'm going to be starting my sermon, but you can help me preach tonight because we have a triple sermon here, Mona. | |
| But it is so important what you're saying. | |
| We are in a country that does not understand socialism. | |
| They think socialism is cool. | |
| Our young people, the biggest share of our young people, that they want socialism. | |
| And they don't even know really what it is. | |
| No, they don't even know the word Nazi means national socialism. | |
| They know Nazis so bad. | |
| They hate Nazism. | |
| They call conservatives Nazis. | |
| But Nazi is two words joined together in German that means national socialism versus the communism in Russia, which was international socialism. | |
| But they're both socialism. | |
| Both sides. | |
| And they're both murderous. | |
| Yes. | |
| And the history of the world is that we have more than 110 million people died from or under their own socialist government, not from enemies invading from the outside, but the enemies within, the enemies they elected. | |
| And interestingly, may I say one more thing? | |
| Hitler became popular because he was supposed to have been the hero that solved the problem of tuberculosis for Germans. | |
| So they used a health scare, a pandemic to slide in the tyranny. | |
