Sermon #046 - Jeremiah 10 - The power of CHOOSING GODLINESS in a world infested with satanism
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Welcome to today's sermon.
I'm Mike Adams with Abundance.Church, and our new website is up and functioning now.
You can go to Abundance.Church and you can join the email list there.
It's free.
And we'll email you when we have significant things to announce, like the new upcoming song.
It's a song I composed and I performed the Bible rap.
It's called God Is With Us.
And I think you'll really enjoy the song, although it is somewhat, well, There are scenes in it that are kind of graphic showing the horrific nightmare that is our current society, but that's actually kind of fitting because today we're talking about Jeremiah chapter 9.
Well, we'll start with chapter 9.
Now, Jeremiah, of course, the weeping prophet as he was known.
And by the way, we will cover Isaiah, we will cover Ezekiel and Daniel and so on.
We will get to those chapters, but I feel like we kind of left off.
On Jeremiah, we finished up, I did previous sermons of chapters one all the way through, I think, chapter nine.
And, you know, of course, Jeremiah is, the whole book is about God's unhappiness with how the Israelites have turned wicked and turned against God, and God promises judgment against them.
And this is, of course, a repeating theme.
Especially throughout the Old Testament, where, you know, God was running an experiment, basically, to say, hey, can I take a group of Israelites and turn them into good people?
And for the most part, the answer was no.
Couldn't do it.
Over and over again, they kept turning wicked, and so he would destroy them, and then they would beg forgiveness, and then he would forgive them, and then they would turn back to God for a little while, and then they would become wicked again.
This is kind of the lesson of the Old Testament, which is why I think, at least this is my assessment, That with Christ and the New Testament, God tried something new and different.
He's like, hey, I'm going to send the personification of myself, God, in the body of Christ.
I'm going to send my son, Jesus Christ, to live among the humans and to teach love and peace instead of war and threats and everything else and wrath.
So that's a simplified explanation, obviously, that is this very clear dividing line between the Old and New Testaments.
But back in Jeremiah, there's a lot more that we can learn from this about what God thinks about humanity.
And I think a lot of the Old Testament is very relevant to our modern day.
And that's why I really love to read the books of the Old Testament.
Now, granted, What I enjoy the most so far in reading and teaching the Bible is the words of Paul the Apostle.
Paul, a brilliant man in a timeless context, would be considered brilliant today, was, you know, beyond brilliant 2,000 years ago or roughly whenever he was living.
But we're going to go back way before that now, into the Old Testament, in the time of Jeremiah.
And we'll pick it up in Chapter 9.
I'm going to read for you, and of course I'm reading from the New King James Version, so as usual, please forgive me for any mispronunciations of names and places as I tend to do that.
And sometimes I disagree with the pronunciations as well.
But I do have a donkey named Hosanna, and I think I got that name nailed down.
So, here we go.
Chapter 9 of Jeremiah, verse 1.
Oh, that my head were waters and my eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people.
These are the words of Jeremiah, by the way.
He's grieving over The loss of connection to God among his people.
Oh, that I had in the wilderness a lodging place for travelers, that I might leave my people and go from them, for they are all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men, he says.
So he's weeping for them because they're so evil.
Doesn't that feel familiar right now?
Don't you kind of weep for your nation right now because it's run by so many evil men and evil women, too, obviously?
But doesn't that kind of make you cry sometimes?
Like, this is crazy.
And then we have words from the Lord.
And they're always in quotes in the book of Jeremiah here.
From the Lord.
Here we go.
Verse three.
And like their bow, they have bent their tongues for lies.
They're not valiant for the truth on the earth, for they proceed from evil to evil and they do not know me, says the Lord.
So see, they've bent their tongues for lies.
They just, they speak lies constantly.
Does this remind you of our government right now?
Does this remind you of the corporate establishment, of the science establishment, the medical establishment?
Yeah.
We live in a time that is pretty accurately described in the book of Jeremiah.
It's, and we are weeping for our world in the same way.
But the Lord continues, verse four, everyone take heed to his neighbor and do not trust any brother for every brother will utterly supplant and every neighbor will walk with slanderers.
Everyone will deceive his neighbor and will not speak the truth.
They have taught their tongue to speak lies.
They weary themselves to commit iniquity.
Your dwelling place is in the midst of deceit.
Through deceit, they refuse to know me," says the Lord.
So here he is saying, you're living in a society of liars and cheaters and deceivers.
And what do you see in our world today?
With elections, a bunch of election cheaters, people who lie, people who deceive.
We had government-sponsored COVID bailouts a few years ago.
I think they were called PPP loans to businesses.
And wouldn't you know it?
There were thousands, maybe tens of thousands of people all across America who pretended to have a business and they filed for PPP money.
I think that's what it was called.
And some of these people got millions of dollars in government money by falsely claiming to have a payroll with like 50 people on it.
So they got all this bailout money.
They went out and they bought luxury cars and luxury homes and jet skis and jewelry and vacation trips.
And now many of them are in prison, by the way, because they left a total paper trail of all their fraud.
But that's the kind of thing that happens in societies So, what are the consequences of this?
Verse 7, Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, quote, Behold, I will refine them and try them.
It means this society is going to be challenged.
For how shall I deal with the daughter of my people?
He means, He means the population at large.
Their tongue is an arrow shot out.
It speaks deceit.
One speaks peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth, but in his heart he lies in wait.
Shall I not punish them for these things, says the Lord?
Shall I not avenge myself on such a nation as this?
See how he's even having this debate in the presence of Jeremiah and saying, don't these people deserve to be punished by me?
They're such liars, they're deceivers, and they don't even know me.
They don't know their own creator.
Verse 10, I will take up a weaking and wailing for the mountains, and for the dwelling places of the wilderness a lamentation because they are burned up.
So what's he saying he's going to do?
through, nor can men hear the voice of the cattle.
Both the birds of the heavens and the beasts have fled.
They are gone.
I will make Jerusalem a heap of ruins, a den of jackals.
I will make the cities of Judah desolate without an inhabitant.
So what's he saying he's going to do?
He is going to cause natural disasters that destroy the ecosystem of animals and farms and food.
And thus he talks about there will be no more cattle, the birds will be gone, all the beasts will have fled, everything's burned up, and Jerusalem will be a heap of ruins.
Okay.
Okay, so this is his threat.
When societies turn against God, especially in the Old Testament, he says that he threatens to destroy them.
So then, from Jeremiah, who is the wise man who may understand this?
And who is he to whom the mouth of the Lord has spoken, that he may declare it?
Why does the land perish and burn up like a wilderness so that no one can pass through?
This is almost Jeremiah putting forth a challenge to God, to say to God, Why do you threaten such things when there's no one in our population who even understands what you're saying?
Who are you speaking to that you think is going to make a difference?
And why would you destroy the land to affect all the people here?
Right?
So this is pretty bold on Jeremiah's part.
This is kind of a debate with God.
You know, Jeremiah, he weeps for his people, but he also doesn't want them to suffer and burn.
And again, don't you feel very much like Jeremiah right now?
I do.
I feel like, wow, our nation has turned to such sin and evil that God's judgment against them Would certainly be spiritually deserved, you could argue, from God's point of view.
But on the other hand, as a compassionate person, a person of Christ, in the spirit of the New Testament especially, I don't want to see any person suffer.
I don't want to see harm come to people.
But what is the proper response from God for those who have turned to such spiritual wickedness and deceit?
That they cannot help but speak lies constantly, and they do not know God.
What's the proper response?
Okay?
So, the Lord attempts to answer that Himself.
Verse 13, And the Lord said, Because they have forsaken my law, which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, nor walked according to it.
So, let me pause there.
They've forsaken my law.
Well, what are God's laws?
Those are the laws that he laid down in the covenant with the people.
I mean, going back to the original covenant with Abraham and the Ten Commandments with Moses.
I mean, God laid down his laws again and again and again, and the rules of entering the tabernacle and so on.
And God said, you know, you're going to have a certain set of rules in order to coexist with me, your creator.
And yet the ancient Israelites or Whatever designation you want to give them, the ancient Hebrew populations, they just repeatedly turn wicked and turn against God.
They have not obeyed my voice, nor walked according to it, he says.
And then in verse 14, he says, but they have walked according to the dictates of their own hearts and after the balls, the B-A-A-L-S, the demons, which their fathers taught them.
Therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will feed them, this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.
I will scatter them also among the Gentiles, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, and I will send a sword after them until I have consumed them.
You may be confused by the term wormwood here.
This does not refer to the herb.
Remember that, especially in the Old Testament, mentions of wormwood were associated with bitterness, because the wormwood herb is a very bitter herb.
Now, we've covered in another sermon, I'm looking at my chart here, where did I cover wormwood?
It's one of my previous sermons.
We covered the healing properties, the herbal properties of the wormwood herb.
I'm sorry, I can't find that one right now, but it's in my sermons.
That is not what this is referring to here.
This is referring to bitterness.
So, behold, I will feed them, this people, with wormwood.
It means God is saying, I'm going to give them bitter food and the water of gall to drink.
Well, I don't know exactly what is meant by the water of Gaul, but clearly it refers to something that is bitter, perhaps poisonous, right?
So the water of Gaul, I believe that refers to toxic water, okay?
I will scatter them also among the Gentiles.
So he's going to split up the people of Israel and destroy their community and push them out to live among non-Jews.
And I will send a sword after them until I have consumed them.
So, he will unleash war against them until they are all killed.
This is God's promise.
This is God's promise.
Okay?
So, it seems like Jeremiah, so far, has not convinced the Lord to not kill all the evil Israelites.
Right?
God's like, I'm gonna do it!
I'm gonna feed them toxic poisons, water, and food, and kill them with the swords.
And then, What happens?
Well, people, when people learn about this plan, of course, they start to freak out when populations lose the gifts of God, when they lose the blessings, they lose real wealth, they start to lose their crops and clean water and clean air and all the gifts of the abundance of food that God places here for us.
When people start to lose those gifts, And then, you know, they start to get red-pilled a little bit, and they start to turn back to God and beg God for forgiveness.
Like, this is the cycle of civilization.
They turn to evil, they beg God for a bailout, God bails them out.
For a while, they're like, oh God, we love you, thank you for bailing us out, and then one generation later, you know.
They're humping the prostitutes at the Roman temples once again and saying, we don't need God.
We create our own laws, you know, like to heck with God.
And then the whole cycle repeats itself.
And then they suffer, you know, total collapse of their civilization.
So let's go to verse 17.
Thus says the Lord of hosts.
Now, these are quotes now quoting the word of God himself.
But of course, remember this is translated and, and also recall, Something I brought up in an earlier sermon.
Remember that God speaks to people in their own native language.
So this is really interesting to me because wherever God speaks to prophets all over the world, even today, he speaks to them in their language, right?
So God is of course multilingual and God can appear to people as a voice in any language or He can appear as any physical person that he wants to appear as.
Remember that when Jesus of Nazareth, after he was crucified and he was put in the tomb, and then when they came to the tomb and found that it had been opened and Jesus was no longer there, they encountered a human person there they thought was the gardener.
But it was Jesus.
It was Jesus appearing as the gardener.
Well, how is that possible?
Because, of course, God can appear as any human or any form that He wants, because it's God.
You know, He can appear in any form.
He could appear as a man to those who are expecting a man.
I mean, technically, I'm not pushing transgenderism or anything, but technically God could appear As a woman, God could appear as an old man, a young man, an old woman, a young woman.
God, I mean, technically couldn't God appear as a, you know, something other than a familiar human form?
He could appear as someone who looks like a Native American Indian.
He could appear as someone who looks different than the way we look, right?
And some of you are freaking out right now.
You're like, oh my God, how dare you say that?
Well, I'm just saying that there's no limits to the way God can appear.
I mean, this is simple God stuff here.
If Jesus can resurrect himself and appear as a different person, clearly among the powers that God has who created everything is the skill or the power to create or to appear in various human forms.
So there's no limits to that.
Obviously, there are no limits to that.
God could appear as a 12-foot giant Jesus if he wanted to, right?
I'm just saying, you know, free your mind from all these constructs of what you think Jesus is going to look like or sound like or talk like, because God can appear in many, many different forms.
And this has also been very true in many religions, including, you know, different renditions of Catholicism, with all kinds of apparitions that appear, and the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Appears in different forms as well.
So just just understand don't think small about God think big God can do anything he wants he can appear in any form he wants But right now he's talking to Jeremiah in Jeremiah's language, which I'm gonna guess is is Hebrew but a lot of these scholars at that time were multilingual and so I don't know, where did Jeremiah grow up?
Let me look that up.
Okay, it says here that Jeremiah grew up in the village of Anatoth, a few miles northeast of Jerusalem, in a priestly family.
Okay, so I'm pretty sure that means he spoke and wrote Hebrew.
All right, correct me if I'm wrong on that, but I think that's the case.
Back to the word of God.
Consider and call for the mourning women that they may come and send for skillful wailing women that they may come.
Let them make haste and take up a wailing for us that our eyes may run with tears and our eyelids gush with water.
In other words, there's a lot of wailing going on, a lot of tears, a lot of crying.
For a voice of wailing is heard from Zion, how we are plundered.
This is in quotes now.
We are greatly ashamed because we have forsaken the land because we have been cast out of our dwellings.
Yet hear the word of the Lord, O women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth.
Teach your daughters wailing, and everyone her neighbor a lamentation.
For death has come through our windows, has entered our palaces, to kill off the children.
No longer to be outside, and the young men no longer on the streets.
So basically, there's a lot of mourning over the collapse of the civilization because they have turned against God.
Verse 22, speak.
Thus says the Lord, even the carcasses of men shall fall as refuse on the open field, like cuttings after the harvester, and no one shall gather them.
In other words, there will be so many dead and they will be so worthless that it'll just be like trash in a field.
I mean, seriously, these are strong metaphors.
Verse 23, thus says the Lord, let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, let not the mighty man glory in his might, nor let the rich man glory in his riches.
He's saying, you know, "Stop being so full of yourself, but let him who glories, glory in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord, exercising loving kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth.
For in these I delight," says the Lord.
So this is the Lord dropping the hammer on the ancient Israelites here, saying, you know, "Stop being so full of yourself." If you want to worship something, worship me, because I'm the reason you're here.
I'm the one that provides for you.
Verse 25, Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, that I will punish all who are circumcised with the uncircumcised.
Egypt, Judah, Edom, and the people of Ammon, Moab, and all who are in the farthest corners who dwell in the wilderness, for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.
Now, this is especially interesting to me, because circumcision, of course, is one of the key rituals of obedience to God in the Old Testament.
And yet, yet, what Christ taught in the New Testament was, and again, remember that the appearance of Christ in the New Testament is sort of this retry by God to take a new approach with humankind.
But what Christ taught and what his disciples taught was that, oh, you don't need to do circumcision anymore because that's kind of a pointless ancient ritual.
Not necessary anymore.
But in the Old Testament, it was like, you know, your hearts are uncircumcised.
In your heart, you're not even willing to be obedient to God at all.
And I'm going to punish all of you, whether you're circumcised or not.
I'm going to punish all these people, for they all have uncircumcision in their hearts.
So, you know, circumcision was obviously a very big deal to God in the Old Testament.
What changed?
What changed about that?
Well, some interesting things.
You know, in the Old Testament, mass fornication was a real problem.
It was one of the sins.
And mass fornication also led to a large number of unplanned pregnancies.
And then the moms of the time, You know, they didn't have like morning after pills, birth control.
They didn't have abortion centers.
And so what they did is they carry their babies to term and then they sacrificed their babies to Moloch.
Now, circumcision, one of the physiological effects of it is it's supposed to reduce sexual pleasure and thereby reduce mass fornication.
And thereby reduce the number of unplanned pregnancies and thereby reduce the number of babies that are thrown into the fires of Moloch.
So you can see kind of how it goes together in the Old Testament.
God was basically saying, you know, you got to stop being animals and just spending all day fornicating.
And it is mentioned again and again and again.
And they weren't just fornicating in a normal, like heterosexual format.
You know, we're talking about like all kinds of crazy sodomy and things that we would call entirely inappropriate sexual relationships, you know, like adult-child relationships, all kinds of sins that are implied in the Old Testament. all kinds of sins that are implied in the Old
But even things like human trafficking and, you know, pulling men out of their homes to rape them, to have other men rape them, you know, like sodomizing rape of men and these kinds of things.
You know, God obviously was not happy with all of that behavior, and the commandment of circumcision was really an obedience ritual to God that was also designed to cut down on mass fornication.
Did it work?
Well, clearly no.
It did not work, because all these mass fornicators kept turning against God anyway, circumcised or not.
You know, they were still running around being highly immoral and unethical and promiscuous.
But it's interesting that if we go into Jeremiah chapter 10, that he's warning the Jews to not be like the Gentiles.
He's telling the Jews that you're better than these other people.
You should be circumcised.
And he even says, this is in chapter 10 verse 2, do not learn the way of the Gentiles, do not be dismayed at the signs of heaven, for the Gentiles are dismayed at them, for the customs of the people are futile.
For one cuts a tree from the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
They decorate it with silver and gold.
They fasten it with nails and hammers, so that it will not topple.
They are upright like a palm tree, and they cannot speak.
They must be carried, because they cannot go by themselves.
Do not be afraid of them, for they cannot do evil, nor can they do any good.
I mean, wow!
You know, he's talking about the false idols.
And how, you know, the Gentiles would just create these false idols and they would decorate them and they'd have to carry them around and they're inanimate objects.
They cannot speak.
It's like, stop worshipping these false idols.
This is insane.
These wooden statues.
And so Jeremiah jumps in here.
This is so fun to watch Jeremiah debate with God.
This is great.
Jeremiah is basically saying, yeah, they're morons, but okay.
This is in verse six.
Inasmuch as there is none like you, O Lord, you are great, and your name is great in might.
Who would not fear you, O King of the nations?
For this is your rightful due.
For among all the wise men of the nations and in all the kingdoms, there is none like you, but they are altogether dull-hearted and foolish.
A wooden idol is a worthless doctrine.
He says, this is Jeremiah, he's saying, yeah, they're idiots.
Of course they're idiots.
They can't compete with you, God, you know, Lord.
These people are idiots.
And he goes on.
He says, silver is beaten into plates.
It is brought from Tarshish and gold from Ufaz, the work of the craftsmen in the hands of the metalsmith.
Blue and purple are their clothing.
They're all the work of skillful men.
But the Lord is the true God.
He is the living God and the everlasting King.
At his wrath, the earth will tremble.
And the nations will not be able to endure his indignation.
So this is Jeremiah saying, despite all the craftsmanship of mankind, they're nothing compared to you, Lord.
This is a really interesting conversation.
In verse 11, he says, thus you shall say to them, this is Jeremiah Telling God what to say to the Israelites that have turned against God, okay?
It's kind of hard to keep track of the quotes here.
It says, thus you shall say to them, quote, the gods that have not made the heavens and the earth shall perish from the earth and from under those heavens.
In other words, your false gods that are not the creators, they're nothing.
They're nothing.
They're worthless.
And I'm skipping ahead to verse 14, where Jeremiah is saying, everyone is dull-hearted, without knowledge.
Every metalsmith is put to shame by an image, for his molded image is falsehood.
You know, forming a metal sculpture is not the real thing, right?
And there is no breath in them, says Jeremiah.
There's no breath in them.
They're not living.
They are futile, a work of errors.
In the time of their punishment, they shall perish.
The portion of Jacob is not like them, for he is the maker of all things, and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance.
The Lord of hosts is his name.
See?
So he's saying the Jews are the descendants of those who are in covenant with God, and others don't really count.
I mean, basically this is Jeremiah saying, you know, God, you are all-powerful.
And then there's a back and forth that goes on here, and mostly God throwing out a lot of threats.
Behold, I will throw out at this time the inhabitants of the land, and will distress them that they may find it so.
And you've got verses like verse 21 here.
This is all in chapter 10.
Verse 21, for the shepherds have become dull hearted and have not sought the Lord.
Therefore they shall not prosper and all their flocks shall be scattered.
And I feel like God would add on here and I'll give them all toe fungus.
You know, it's like we're going to do everything bad to these people because they have turned away from God.
And this goes on and on and on.
And then Jeremiah makes a suggestion.
He says, basically, that God should say the following.
So next in Jeremiah chapter 11, the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord.
Okay, so this is the Lord speaking to Jeremiah.
Hear the words of this covenant and speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and say to them, Thus says the Lord God of Israel, Cursed is the man who does not obey the words of this covenant, which I commanded your fathers in the day I brought them out of the land of Egypt from the iron furnace
You know, freed them from slavery, saying, Obey my voice and do according to all that I command you, so shall you be my people, and I will be your God, that I may establish the oath which I have sworn to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey as it is this day.
And I answered, this is Jeremiah, and I answered and said, So be it, Lord.
So this is kind of like the final threat from God saying, you know, go tell the people we had a deal.
We made a covenant.
I freed them from slavery in Egypt.
I led them to the land of milk and honey.
I gave them figs and cinnamon.
You know, it's like I gave them everything, the living waters, the food crops, everything.
And they still turned against me.
What is going on?
So remind them of this covenant because they keep breaking it.
This is why I always have to kind of laugh today when I hear people that right now, today, in 2024, they claim that, you know, well, God promised them this piece of geography because 2,600 years ago, there was a covenant, or actually more than that, 3,500 years ago, there was a covenant with Abraham, whatever year that was.
In my mind, I'm like, how many hundreds of generations back was that broken?
Because your ancestors broke that covenant over and over and over and over again.
And if you don't believe me, read the Bible, because it's all right in there.
Verse 6, Then the Lord said to me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear the words of this covenant, and do them.
For I earnestly exhorted your fathers in the day I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, until this day, rising early and exhorting, saying, Obey my voice.
Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but everyone followed the dictates of his evil heart.
Therefore, I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but which they have not done." This is the equivalent, in the legal world, of an attorney writing a letter to, like, another law office saying, hey, we had a contract, and you need to abide by the terms of the original contract, so go back and read, you know, page six, section B1A, and make sure you do that.
This is the God version of that.
Like, we had a deal.
We had a deal, and you've turned against it.
So I'm just reminding you of the terms of our deal.
In verse 9, and the Lord said to me, a conspiracy has been found among the men of Judah and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
They have turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers who refused to hear my words.
And they have gone after other gods to serve them.
The house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant.
Which I made with their fathers.
See?
That's what I'm talking about.
I've talked about this in other sermons.
They keep breaking the covenant.
Therefore, thus says the Lord, behold, I will surely bring calamity on them, which they will not be able to escape.
And though they cry out to me, I will not listen to them.
Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will go out and cry out to the gods to whom they offer incense.
You know, the false gods, the wooden, the totem poles with silver on it, whatever.
But they will not save them at all in the time of their trouble, because they're made of wood.
Verse 13, for according to the number of your cities where your gods, O Judah, and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem, you have set up altars to that shameful thing, altars to burn incense to Baal, to Satan.
It's like your city is filled with monuments to Satan.
Does that sound familiar?
What do you see in our world today?
LGBT flags painted on the crosswalks of cities.
Monuments to Satanism.
Monuments to transgenderism and evil mutilations of children, which is exactly what happened in the Old Testament.
They were mutilating children by sacrificing them to Moloch.
Same thing.
Really nothing has changed, has it?
Verse 14, so do not pray for this people or lift up a cry or prayer for them, for I, this is the Lord, I will not hear them in the time that they cry out to me because of their trouble.
He says, I will not hear them.
In other words, if you do enough evil, you sacrifice enough children, you do enough abortions, God will not hear you.
He says so.
Verse 15.
This is powerful.
This is God really nailing it.
What has my beloved to do in my house, having done lewd deeds with many?
You know, again, all the mass fornication.
And the holy flesh has passed from you.
When you do evil, then you rejoice.
And isn't that true about modern society?
People do evil.
How many young women celebrate having abortions?
They wear t-shirts that say like, I just had an abortion.
It's so wonderful.
We've even heard stories of biological men in our society that want to become women.
They want to go transgender to become a woman.
To get pregnant as a woman so they can have an abortion as a woman and then celebrate themselves as the first transgender woman to have an abortion.
That is some sick, demonic, that is some mass mental illness, some level of like multi-layered wickedness that would have God flinging fireballs in the Old Testament.
You know, he says, when you do evil, then you rejoice.
Yeah, we get it.
We see it.
We see it today.
Verse 16, the Lord called your name, green olive tree, lovely and of good fruit, with the noise of a great tumult, and he has kindled fire on it, and its branches are broken.
In other words, hey, God gave you everything.
What did you do?
You trashed it.
You trashed it all.
For the Lord of hosts who planted you has pronounced doom against you for the evil of the house of Israel.
This is God saying, like, I'm angry that you morons, I gave you everything.
We had a deal.
We had a covenant.
What did you do?
You worship Satan and sacrifice your babies.
And you fornicated with everything in the town.
Leave the donkeys and goats alone for God's sake.
You know, this is basically what God is saying.
So, with this in mind, I want to ask you, what do you suppose is about to happen?
You know, we can never know the timing of God's judgment, and arguably, maybe, since we're reading Old Testament God.
Maybe the Christ consciousness of God is going to have a very different reaction to the evil in our world today.
Or maybe we're about to go back to Old Testament God.
But the evil that's being carried out in Western civilization today with mass abortions, mass deceit, mass perversions, the transgenderism, the transhumanism, the biological weapons designed to alter the God-given genetic code of humanity.
The deception, the lies, the attacks on the church, the attacks on free speech, the attacks on Christ, the attacks on people who silently pray outside abortion centers, just in prayer.
I mean, this level of wickedness will almost certainly earn some level of wrath from God.
We can't know in advance what that's going to look like, but we have examples.
Some of them I've just read for you.
Pronounce doom against you for the evil of the house of Israel and the house of Judah, you know, which they have done against themselves to provoke me, the Lord, to anger.
Well, what do you suppose is coming?
Now it's worth noting that modern day Israel has also become an LGBT hub in the Middle East.
So Tel Aviv has more, or at least it did before the current war, it had a lot more LGBT activity and transgenderism and exploitation of children and sodomizing activities and so on than any other city that I'm aware of in the Middle East, not that I would
have a map of LGBT activity in the Middle East, but as you can imagine, you know, you're not going to get that kind of activity in Iran or in Turkey or in Egypt, you know, or Lebanon or any other Iraq or other countries like that, and certainly not in Syria either.
And I doubt in Jordan, but who knows?
In Israel, that kind of activity is very common because it's very westernized.
So there's a lot of abortions in Israel, a lot of abortions.
And Israel today is a mostly secular nation.
So almost no one in Israel, I mean, population-wise, actually practices any worship of God.
You know, there are groups that do.
And, you know, there are different Orthodox Jewish groups that are very serious about their practice of religion and their dedication to God, but they are not even close to, you know, a substantial portion of the population.
Most of Israel, as in most of the United States and most of Canada, most of the United Kingdom, most of the populations of Western cultures have turned against God.
They do not read scripture at all.
They're not religious.
They don't even believe in God for the most part, but they worship abortion.
So they worship ball.
They offer incense to ball and they worship false idols like, you know, pop singers and so on.
Well, these are the conditions that God had previously promised would earn his anger and his wrath and his total destruction of those civilizations.
So I believe that, of course, God has the power to do anything he wishes.
And when he decides to stand in judgment against the evil of Western nations, if he follows an Old Testament model, that judgment will be absolutely devastating.
He can completely destroy Western civilization, should he choose to do so.
If he instead takes the path of the New Testament and has more mercy and more forgiveness, well, what's going to be the result of that?
You know, the evil of the Western civilizations will still not recognize the existence of God.
They won't give God credit for having mercy.
They will still continue with their abortions.
And, you know, with their deceit and with their child mutilations and with their transgenderism and all the evil things that they push.
So I think that it would be wise for us to one day expect an Old Testament wrath of God response, because I don't think a New Testament response is having any effect among those who are rooted in Satanism and evil.
I think the devil laughs at kindness.
I think the devil laughs at forgiveness.
The devil laughs and just says, okay, great.
So you're not going to do anything.
We'll just continue our, you know, evil parade of mass abortion and exploiting children and whatever, whatever the Satanists are doing.
In other words, old school God, wrath of God is kind of the line in the sand that it's where God is putting his foot down and saying, enough is enough.
Is that day coming for America?
I don't know.
But I wouldn't be surprised.
God has done it before, again and again, and I can't think of any better example of pure demonic evil than what the Western civilization countries have become today.
Steeped in evil, celebrating evil.
They celebrate it, which, you know, God talked about here in Jeremiah.
And it's sickening.
They celebrate the murder of their own babies.
That's a level of wickedness and sickness that is probably not going to be tolerated forever.
But when that judgment day comes, I don't know.
The only thing I do know for sure about that is it would be wise to be on the side of God when that day comes.
We're all going to be judged for the lives that we have lived, for the decisions that we have made.
Did you live in alignment with God's teachings?
Did you have dignity for other human beings?
Did you work to protect life?
Did you speak the truth?
Did you defend the innocent?
Did you help the poor?
You know, these are things that count.
This is your spiritual equity, your spiritual assets with God.
These are things that count for eternity.
How are you doing in those things?
And if you've made mistakes in your life, because everybody has, all of humankind has made mistakes, have you asked God for forgiveness?
Have you asked others for forgiveness?
Have you taken steps to right the wrongs in your life?
What have you done to set yourself on the right path, and how can you do better tomorrow?
No matter where you are right now today, maybe you're not the best person that you want to be and you have a plan for being a better person tomorrow or to be closer to God tomorrow.
Well, make some progress on that plan.
Even a little bit, just a little bit each day.
Put you on the right track, and I do believe that God's worst wrath will be reserved for those who are the obvious satanic mass murderers and child destroyers and mutilators and deceivers and sodomizers and all of those people, and we know who those are, and I doubt any of those people are listening to this sermon, if some of those people are.
You better get busy working on correcting some of that and begging God for forgiveness because you don't want him to show up when you're still stuck in that red zone of negative spiritual assets.
But I would suspect most people listening to this are mostly good people.
You probably lead an honest life.
You probably help people around you.
You probably work to uplift people, to spread the truth.
And yes, you may not be perfect.
You may make mistakes in judgment or in memory or in mis-explaining things.
I mean, you know, I've made mistakes in these sermons.
I've mentioned some things incorrectly.
You know, about which person was wearing the camel fur and so on.
And it's okay.
It's okay.
It's human to do that.
But where is your heart?
Is your heart with God?
Are you striving to take actions in alignment with what God expects of you?
Are you working to be a better person each day?
Are you speaking the truth?
Do you exercise courage?
Do you exercise faith?
Do you deepen your relationship with God with each opportunity that you have?
These are the things that count.
So improve yourself each and every day so that Jeremiah would not weep for you because you're not among the sinister, the wicked, the deceitful.
You're not among those groups.
So, Jeremiah doesn't have to weep for you, God doesn't have to weep for you, God doesn't feel like He has to punish you, and you will not be put in the category of someone who made God angry.
So, when God's wrath is unleashed against our society, whenever that day comes, pray to God that He spares those of us who have sought to fight against the evil and the Satanism and the demonic influence over our society.
If you have fought against Satan and worked in favor of God, I believe that you shall be treated with God's mercy and with eternal love and kindness from our Creator, because He recognizes the goodness in your heart.
And that's the lesson from Jeremiah.
We may live in a society surrounded by evil.
We may have made mistakes ourselves.
We may have tripped up on things.
We may have, even perhaps before we turned to God and spirituality, we may have been involved, especially in our younger years, right?
We all were a little bit more crazy in our younger years.
And I give thanks to God every day that Facebook did not exist when I was in high school.
I'm glad that all of those activities are gone with the memories of the people I went to school with because what a curse to be a child today and have all of your childhood behaviors like forever imprinted on the world through your social media pages?
Wouldn't that be a curse?
Right?
Because everybody's a lot more crazy when they were in their younger years.
Not that I did anything illegal, but I did rock a pretty well-developed mullet, okay?
And I thank God that those photos have never emerged.
But you get my point, okay?
So we're all children of God.
We can all do better each day.
We are living in a society of great evil.
But we can be good people inside that society.
We can choose to not be swayed or controlled by that evil.
We can choose to live a life in alignment with God, and that choice counts.
You know, it's funny because the abortion advocates, they say they're pro-choice.
Well, guess what?
You can also be pro-choice to choose God.
You see what I mean?
You can make a spiritual choice that they themselves will not make.
Their choice is to worship Balak.
They sacrifice their children to Satan.
And you know what?
Some of those people, they grow up and they regret that, and they ask for forgiveness, and God forgives them.
And that's one of the things that can happen to people in their younger years.
A young mom may have endured an abortion, thinking that it was the right thing at the time, and then later on maybe regretted it, maybe asked for forgiveness.
God grants that forgiveness.
And that counts.
That counts to admit your errors, to ask for forgiveness and to make amends.
These things are spiritual currency.
Much more precious than gold or silver or anything material in this world is the spiritual currency that you do take with you when you leave this realm.
You know how they say you can't take it with you?
Because they're talking about things like Bitcoin.
There's no blockchain in heaven, by the way.
No blockchain, no internet access, and you don't need passwords in heaven.
You don't take any of that stuff with you.
What do you take with you?
You take your spiritual currency with you.
And that is forever.
So work to enhance your spiritual currency while you are here on earth.
In this life, which is itself a gift from God, and Jeremiah would never shed a tear for you.
He would celebrate your life.
He would celebrate your spirit.
He would celebrate your heart.
And so would the Lord.
So God bless you all.
