two women, two wives

This transcription is from a Cowboy Church service in Mojave County. The speaker welcomes everyone and asks if there are any first-time attendees. There are announcements about the truck wagon team, upcoming meals, and events. There is also a mention of a guest speaker, Jodi Gerhart, who will be doing a clinic. The service includes prayers and singing. There are reminders to silence cell phones and not to leave pets in cars. The speaker also mentions lost items and ways to contribute to the church. The service ends with the singing of hymns. Good morning, good morning. Welcome everybody to Cowboy Church in Mojave County. We're glad you're here. Are you here? Yeah! I thought so. We want to welcome everybody here to Cowboy Church. If you're here for the first time, put your hands up. Let me see you. As liars, put your hands down. Boy, I see what you've got to mess with here, folks. You don't know how close to judgment we are. It's close, folks. Yeah, I mean, Cowboy Church and lying, I don't know. Well, it's the first time today. How do you know that? We're going to kick this off here real quick. If anybody needs any help finding a seat, just let me know. I'll get one of our armed ushers to assist you. And usually we start off Cowboy Church here on Sunday mornings around 10 o'clock by praying. Is there anybody here not ready to pray? If you're not ready, what will I have to do to get it ready? Send one of my armed ushers. All right, let's pray. Dear Heavenly Father, we just thank You, Lord, for the blessings this day and each one's here. Father, we ask that You bless Your Word this morning, Father. Bless the praise, the worship, the singing, Father. Lord, we just ask that there be any sick and afflicted, Father. That You put a healing hand on. That it's locked up in bondage to drugs or alcohol or whatever it is, Father. That You set them free today and show them the path. And Lord, if there be anybody here that's not trusting Jesus their Savior, I just pray You put it on their heart today to just make that decision that they're going to trust Jesus. And Father, then give each one of us a desire to be in Your Word each day and have a closer walk with You. Father, bless our truck wagon team and the good eats that they're preparing for us over there. And I know there's something else, God, that You already know. Whatever it is. We ask all these things in Jesus' name. Church says. Cowboy Church says. All right. What do we do now, now? I forget. All right. We will now have about 40, 50 minutes of announcement. Do you have my permission? I have your permission. One of these days. Good morning, everyone. And you new people that are here, we have people all over the world listening to our podcast. Isn't that wonderful? Okay. Okay. First of all, we have truck wagon. And they are having carne asada. Tacos. I said it. Yay. Okay. Yes. They have a money bucket over on the table over there. And you're more than welcome to help them out and give them a little bit of money for all the work that they do. It doesn't just happen in six hours on one day. It helps their budget. Yes. Yes. It helps their budget. It does. And when I have all the people that donate to the kitchen, it helps my budget. And believe you me, I need a donation. I'm always over on my budget. But that's good. Because that means there's a lot of people that come to eat. And speaking of, next week is dinner on the ground. We're going to have salty joes and baked beans. And I heard this morning potato salad. So if you guys want to bring something to go along with this, that'd be perfect. We've been serving about 100 people a Sunday. So we do need a little bit more than just salty joes, baked beans, and potato salad. People are welcome to come to eat. We've got good eating. Yep. Yep. Even if you don't bring something, you can still save and eat. And Red Ministry is here today, you guys. Yay! And they have all kinds of food. And really, really thank Kathy and Fred and Mike for bringing that in. And if you have a few extra dollars, you can put in their Red Buckets. That helps them go and get the stuff, because it's not cheap to go get it. And the person who lost the leather gloves at the clinic... We found them. Yes. Anita, do you still have them? Or did you go... We're going to send them to the person that lost them. Okay. Okay. And Saturday mornings at 9 o'clock, there is roping the steer over in the arena. I think his name is still Moses. I don't know. They also will have a trail ride afterwards. And they said lunch. So evidently, they're cooking lunch for that also. And I have two earrings in the kitchen that was found. And I also have some jackets. So if you lost a jacket, come and look and see if it's yours. If not, we're going to put them down at the donation center. Oh, and if you have any pigs that need food, see Fred. He has some green kale out there, I think. So if you need some food for your piggies, that would work. We've got another couple hundred pounds of potatoes. And we've got another couple hundred pounds of potatoes. Chickens eat that too, the kale. Oh, yeah. Chickens will eat kale too, Nan says. So, yeah. If you need some, help them out. Help them out so they can get rid of it. Okay. There are some announcements in the bulletin. Be sure and read those. Please, if you have your cell phone... I think I already did it. Put it on silent or airplane mode or something so it doesn't ring during service. Because if it does, our local sheriffs will come and get you. Did you bring the handcuffs today? Oh, well, at least you won't get handcuffed. And we do have... Huh? He's got them? Okay. Well, somebody's got them. And we have a White House outside the East Door. Right now, it's just a one molar, one stall, because the other one is leaking. So, it's better than the one in Washington, D.C., because ours... Okay, I really messed that one up. Right, Allie? And we don't pass the hat at Cowboy Church. We have birdhouses back on the table. And anything that you would like to put in there to help us out, that would really be appreciated. And your pets are welcome to come into the barn. Please, since it is getting warmer, do not leave them in your car. Because if it does get too warm, you will have a broken window when you go out. Because our security will help the animal out. And if, by chance, they have an accident, just clean it up. If you want to become a member, there's a bulletin board, or a tablet back in the back. Just sign up there, and Pastor will let us know when the next membership class is. And if you would like to be baptized, also, there's a sheet back there to sign up. And he will let us know when he is going to have the next baptism. And if you'd like to have a name tag made, see Sandy. She's got her hand up back there. And she will make you a name tag. Okay, I think I'm done. I think I'm done. Now, look, it didn't take you 40 minutes. No, it was 45. Okay, Don. Yes, ma'am. Hi. I just want to remind everybody, on May 4th and 5th, Jodi Gerhart will be coming to our arena. I don't know if any of you know her. A lot of you do. Oh, yeah, I love her. Yeah, she used to go to cheer. And she was inducted into the National Reindeer and Cowboys Hall of Fame Friday. And she's going to come and do a clinic. And she takes that money and gives it right back to the church. She doesn't keep anything for herself. There will be food. You can come and watch. If you have a horse with an issue or a problem that you're struggling with, she's more than happy to help people with their animals. And she's kind. She's really funny. And she's fun to ride with. Yeah, she is. Roger said last week, she's a champion, not only with her horse, but in her heart. She's amazing. All right. All my horses have issues. I have to pick them up. Bring them all. She and Larry are members here, too. Yeah, they're members here. It should be a good standard in the incentive center. Okay, duel orders? Come on, duel orders. Hold on a minute. Hold on a minute. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Yeah. Jack is a friend. Did something happen? Yeah. You all better sing loud so we can hear you. I've got a home in Florida and that outshines the sun. I've got a home in Florida and that outshines the sun. I've got a home in Florida and that outshines the sun. Way beyond the blue. To Lord, oh to Lord, do you remember me? To Lord, oh to Lord, do you remember me? To Lord, oh to Lord, do you remember me? Way beyond the blue. I knew Jesus as my Savior, you take Him, too. I knew Jesus as my Savior, you take Him, too.

Way beyond the blue. If you can't bear the cross, you can't bear the crown. If you can't bear the cross, you can't bear the crown. If you can't bear the cross, you can't bear the crown. Way beyond the blue. To Lord, oh to Lord, do you remember me? To Lord, oh to Lord, do you remember me? To Lord, oh to Lord, do you remember me? Way beyond the blue. With a little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine. Oh, with a little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine. With a little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine. Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine. Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine. Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine. Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine. Child was born this way, on a road. Back and way, ain't got a home. Road is long, it's a journey's end. All of Jordan thank you, that's where I'll stand. Sun is high, rain is cold. There on the mountain, I'll rest my soul. I'll plant my feet, it's promised land. All of Jordan thank you, that's where I'll stand. All day the river washes clean. This troubled world I see, like the sun. All of Jordan thank you, that's where I'll stand. Oh Jesus, take me home, walk me down. There on the road, till we reach. Give you the land, all of Jordan thank you, that's where I'll stand. All day the river washes clean. This troubled world I see, like the sun. All of Abraham, all of Jordan thank you, that's where I'll stand. All of Jordan thank you, that's where I'll stand. Thank you. I've got a feeling, so easy feeling. I know He won't let me down. Cause I'm always standing on God's hand. Amazing grace, how sweet the sound. That saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now am found. Was blind but now I see. I've got a feeling, so easy feeling. I know He won't let me down. Cause I'm always standing on God's hand. Was grace that brought my heart to feel. And grace that clears me. How precious was that grace that healed. The hour I first believed. I've got a feeling, so easy feeling. I know He won't let me down. Cause I'm always standing on God's hand. When we've been there ten thousand years. Like shining as the sun. We've no less days to sing God's praise. Than when we first begun. I've got a feeling, so easy feeling. I know He won't let me down. Cause I'm always standing. I'm always standing. I'm always standing on God's hand. This is in your holy book. One, two, three, four. Out to the golden valley. There's people lying around. I wonder if it's the place to be. We all get together. No matter what the weather. We work in Jesus' company. We all come, we all come, we all come, we all come. We all come to join our happy song. We all come, we all come, we all come, we all come. And we sure won't be strangers very long. We are friendly and receiving. Nobody is deceiving. You don't have to do more. You can turn your heart and close it. Nobody is belonging. We're all here for you, right here, Lord. We all come, we all come, we all come, we all come. We all come to join our happy song. We all come, we all come, we all come, we all come. And we sure won't be strangers very long. We're rich in children and great children. We share the day of rest. There's people who are gone. We just have to pay. Jesus loves them all. He's just waiting for their call. He's waiting here. They won't run away. We all come, we all come, we all come, we all come. We all come to join our happy song. We all come, we all come, we all come, we all come. And we sure won't be strangers very long. One more time. We all come, we all come, we all come, we all come. We all come to join our happy song. We all come, we all come, we all come, we all come. And we sure won't be strangers very long. And we sure won't be strangers very long. Thank you. Thank you, the Cowboy Band! Did anybody happen to get a video this morning during the, um, of Dewey doing that South Dakota stomp back there? I need someone to practice. Well, if we could get, if we could get a video of that, I could use it to blackmail him. No blackmail here. No blackmail? No! Whitemail. Whitemail. Okay. Kneemail, we got kneemail. All right? That's praying. Kneemail. All right, okay. That's a good idea. How about a little Wranglers this morning? How about that? Because we got Wranglerettes and Wranglers, and head them out the west door, right? All right. What else did I forget? Last night, before I went to bed, I usually start panicking Saturdays and, you know, start really praying. God, I don't have a clue what we're going to talk about, because they usually don't give me an idea. And so I'm thinking there's lots of stuff going on. Is there anybody not ready for Cowboy Church yet? I'm just checking. I'm just checking. I'm going to have to stick some of my arm guards on some of the arm guards here. Okay, I understand. Okay. Good. We wanted them to be a second time, but I just couldn't hear what I was thinking. Yeah. All right, so we got plenty of time. The coffee's still hot. The doughy's still cooking. So we got plenty of time. So Saturday night, I got just a start, and I thought, oh, no, because I had not a clue what we were going to do. But God said two women, two wives. I thought, this is dangerous. I need a little more information. This gets a little dangerous this morning. So this morning when I got up, God said, my wife is under attack. So then I understood. My wife is under attack. Y'all been paying attention to the news, the true and the fake? There's a lot of both out there. We're going to talk a little bit about that. Two women, two wives. You know, I think that one of the most neglected subjects that's in God's Word that really hardly ever gets talked about is God the Father's wife. And most people say, what? God the Father's got a wife? Well, he sure does. And he divorced her. She kind of a run-around Sioux. Maybe I shouldn't say Sioux. A run-around something. How'd that ever get out there, that word? Somebody must have knew a Sioux. Maybe it was a Sioux Indian. Is this on? Oh, okay. I don't know. Two women, two wives. God the Father's got a wife. If you really want to get a picture of how that works, you ought to read the whole book of Hosea. The whole book of Hosea is just a real pretty story about marriage and being restored to bad circumstances and stuff. And in Jeremiah chapter 3, verse 14, God told Jeremiah, he says, Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord, for I am married unto you. He's talking about Israel. He says, And I'll take you, one of a city and two of a family, and I'll bring you to Zion, and I'll give you pastors according to mine hearts, which shall feed you with knowledge and with understanding. You know, Jesus was in the temple one time. He was there. He always went to all the feasts. He went to the feasts. He was always there for the feasts of Jerusalem according to the law. And then as now, some of those maybe ruling Israel fit this category, they always made fun of Jesus because the story, the well-known, it was well-known and talked about, especially when Jesus became, quote, famous for healing people and started his ministry. Every three years he really caught it. You know that guy from Nazareth up there? Well, we know about him. His mama was pregnant before they got married, and Joseph took her anyway. Well, you know what Mary is? Mary is the representative of Israel, God's wife. And I thought of the relationship. I thought about relationship. How does this work? Because Mary said, I've never known a man. How am I going to conceive? And the messenger from God said, you will conceive of the Holy Spirit, which is God. So then I realized that Jesus is all man. I believe it. And I know that biologically, Jesus had 23 chromosomes from his mom, and he had to have 23 chromosomes from his father. And I believe those 23 chromosomes is the Holy Spirit. And when Jesus told Nicodemus, you must be born again, was born of flesh as flesh, and was born of spirit as spirit. And then I learned that when someone believes in God's plan and accepts the virgin-born Son of God to be his Savior, that God puts his Holy Spirit in us as believers. I believe that's God's DNA. And I believe if we had a celestial microscope in our biology labs, we'd see a triple helix instead of just a double helix, because we have the helix of eternal life. The Holy Spirit, because it guarantees that we're going to get through. It guarantees when you believe, God says, you're my child. I called you, you answered, you responded. And you're my child, and I'm putting my DNA in you. And that gives you power and authority over sin. But you've got to use it, right? By use it, I don't mean making a show of it. I mean, Paul says, walking in the Spirit. And that means prayed up, fessed up, well fed. It means walking in fellowship with your Father, your Heavenly Father. Minding, and when you don't mind, fessing up so that you're in fellowship. That's what it means. Well, God's Father had the same situation with his wife. The only problem is, his wife Israel, and all the components that make up his wife, had not received the Holy Spirit yet. And they continuously sinned against God. Well, that made it a mess for them, because God's provision for their sins was go to the priest at the temple and offer a blood sacrifice. Well, that would cover their sins, and they could have fellowship. When they were obedient to God, he blessed them. When they were disobedient, he shook the devil on them and let him whoop them up. Well, there was a place when Jesus said, or when the Bible said, that all Israel is not Israel. And just like all who claim to be Christians are not Christians. Jesus said, there's come a day when some will say, I never knew you, apart from me. And they'll say, but I've got a sticker on the back of my car. I carried all these medals around with me all these years, and did all this stuff in your name. He said, you never trusted me. You're not mine. That's hard. But I think I've got an answer for why it's like that. Because not all Israel is Israel, and not all Christian is Christian. And we're talking about two women. Talking about the bride of Christ. We're going to get married up to Jesus someday. I have not a clue how that works. I've been married almost 60 years, and I'm not sure how that works. Two women, two wives. I've had the same woman over 60 years, but I've had at least three different wives. Be careful. Do you understand what I'm saying? All you brave guys will say, yeah, I know what you're talking about. And the rest of you say, he knows too. He knows about that. It's okay. There's been a couple things changed about me down through the years. Maybe. Jeremiah says, it shall come to pass when you be multiplied and increased in the land. In those days, saith the Lord, they shall say no more the ark of the covenant of the Lord. Neither shall it come to mind, neither shall they remember it, neither shall they visit it, neither shall that be done anymore. You know when that's going to be? When our Lord and Savior returns to defeat the foes of his mother. Now I want you to think of something. Israel is your mother-in-law. You ever thought of that? Israel is your mother-in-law. And I tell you, it pays to pray for your mother-in-law. It pays to help your mother-in-law every time she needed help or anything. I was blessed with the greatest mother-in-law there ever was. We went fishing together. We did lots of stuff. We ate rabbits together. I love Clare. I know I'll be with her again soon. She drove this little gal to church every Sunday and if I wanted to see her, I had to go to church to see her. And that's when we was in school. That was on Sunday. On Saturdays I had to help her dad build the house. I guess none of them other guys ever helped him build the house? No, I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about your three sisters. Because he'd run all them other guys off. Every one of them he'd run off. He wouldn't let them. He let me. I had the greatest father-in-law you could possibly have. There's going to come a time when Israel won't look to sacrifices to cover their sins. They'll look to their Savior, which is one of them. And he'll reign on the throne of David over all Israel. There's going to come a time a little over seven years from right now. A little over seven years from right now when there's going to be a feast like you've never seen before. It's a wedding feast where the son and the bride are joined together. There's going to be a lot at that feast. But I'm telling you, one jewel that's going to be there is that woman Israel. Clean, restored, faithful, believing, trusting, blessed, rejoicing. You know what's going on right now? What is coming is at that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the Lord. And all the nations shall be gathered unto it in the name of the Lord, to the name of the Lord in Jerusalem. Neither shall they walk anymore after their own imaginations and their evil hearts. And the house of Judas shall walk with the house of Israel. And they shall come together out of the land of the north which is a land that has come from all over the world. All of Israel that is Israel will be returned and restored as the faithful wife of the Father. Verse 20 says, Surely as the wife treacherously departed from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me. God's calling her out. He's calling out Israel. Well, what's going on with Israel? Because not all Israel is Israel. When Jesus was in the temple and the Pharisees and the Sadducees that were in charge of Israel, the government and the worship and the economy, they said, look, if you're from God, do some miracles or something for us. You know, show us. Do something here. And Jesus told them, he says, you don't know me because you don't know my Father because you're of your father, the devil. But they were the leaders of Israel. They were Israel. So not all Israel is Israel, God's wife. See what I'm talking about? Not all Christians are Christians. People ask me, they say, well, you guys are Baptists? I say, well, Baptists can be good or bad. That name Baptists goes around a lot of different directions. I know Seventh-day Baptists. I know Pentecostal Baptists. I know Presbyterian Baptists. I know all kinds of Baptists. They say, well, what are you? I say, I'm an Antioch Christian. That's what I am. I'm an Antioch Christian. And Baptists on paper are Antioch Christians. That is our 1962 Articles of Faith and Doctrine. And if the Baptist organization that we support and do missions with ever deviates from that and becomes something else, then we're going to be something else because we're handing out Christians. The Bible says those that were in the way of Jesus, the ones that followed Jesus, accepted Him as their Savior and their Lord and followed Him, were first called Christians to the Antioch. I'm an Antioch Christian. I'm going to follow Him. I'm going to do what He wants me to do. I'm going to be where He wants me to be. Can you say that this morning? Because that's how you get along with God. That's how you get along. A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel. They have perverted their way and they've forgotten the Lord their God. They're getting reminded today. It's all part of the plan. Jeremiah 3 says, And I saw when for all the causes whereby a backsliding Israel committed adultery, and I had put her away and given her a bill of divorce, yet her treacherous sister Jude appeared not either, but went and played the harlot also. All of Israel. This is back when there was a divided kingdom. Now we go to Matthew 1, verse 18. It says, Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise, when as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph before they came together, she was found with the child of the Holy Ghost. Mama's pregnant. God's wife is pregnant. She's pregnant by the Father. And she's pregnant by the Father so that on that day in the temple when the Israel that's not Israel accused Jesus of being a bastard to his face, he could say, You don't know my Father. He was right. 2 Corinthians 11 says, For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy. He's talking about his wife. He says, For I have espoused you. He's talking about his son's bride here. I'm sorry. This is 2 Corinthians chapter 11. He says, For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy. For I have espoused you to one husband that I may present you to as a chaste virgin to Christ. A Christian is an Antioch Christian. The bride. In Joel chapter 2 verse 16, Gather the people. Sanctify the congregation. Assemble the elders. Gather the children and those that suck the breasts. Let the bridegrooms go forth out of his chamber and the bride out of her closet. Yeah, coming out of the closet can be a good thing when you're an Antioch Christian. God doesn't have any secret agents. He can wear that badge and come out. Go and put that fish on the back of your car. Put the Cowboy Church sticker in the window that didn't act right. And pay attention to what God's telling you to do. Folks, the clock's ticking. The clock's ticking. Oh, tomorrow I'll start reading the Bible. Oh, tomorrow I'll get fessed up. You know, I told God for 14 years that I'd preach for Him when I got this done, when I got that done, when I got this cleaned up in my life, when I got that done. Never happened. Because you can't overcome sin and disobedience in your life in the power of your flesh. You've got to have the power of the Holy Spirit in your life to live a godly life. And we mess up all the time. That's why we've got an advocate, Jesus, up there in that court, batting for us every day. John 3.29, he that hath the bride is the bridegroom. But the friend of the bridegroom... Oh, the bridegroom's got friends? Yeah, they're going to be at the wedding too. There's folks that believe in God and haven't trusted Christ yet. Friends of the bridegroom. They'll be there. Which standeth and heareth them, rejoiceth greatly, because the bridegroom's voice, therefore my joy is fulfilled. Isaiah 54.6 says, For the Lord has called you like a wife. Back talking about Israel. He says, hey, woman, pay attention to me. They're listening today. Over 300 missiles and rockets fired at them last night. Never been nothing like that in the whole world at one time ever before. Somehow they didn't get through. Isaiah 54.6, For the Lord has called you like a wife, forsaken and grieved in spirit, even like a wife of one's youth when she is rejected, says your God. Revelations 19.7 says, Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to him who the marriage of the Lamb has come and his bride has made herself ready. Oh, another woman. The bride getting ready. It's time. Mama Israel getting lined out. Got a thrashing coming. It ain't going to be pretty, folks. It ain't going to be pretty. Today the world hates the wife and the bride. There's more Christian persecution going on in the world right now than there has been in my lifetime. The devil knows something's coming down. His time is short. Now we want to talk about what's going on over there today. I've heard a lot of prophecy people talk about Psalms 83, prophecies in Psalms 83. An overview of Psalms 83 is that Israel is going to become a nation and all of the neighbors right around Israel hate them and are going to do everything they can to absolutely kill and destroy all Israel so that not even its name is remembered. And they want to push them from the river, the Jordan River, to the sea, to the Mediterranean. They want to totally extinguish everything Israel, everything Jewish and Christian. Psalms 83. Well, who's going on over there? Well, there's Lebanon. There's people from Lebanon causing trouble. Persia's financing it. People from Syria causing trouble. Iran's financing it. There's people from Jordan causing trouble. People from Iraq causing trouble. There's people from Egypt causing trouble. From Gaza. These all join Israel. And even when you look at the legal boundaries of Israel, Saudi Arabia's part of that bunch too. Do you know that when Israel has the land God promised them, it goes from all the way up into Turkey? The Mediterranean Sea across over to Turkey, down over through Iraq to the Euphrates River, down the Euphrates River to the mouth. And then across Arabia and Sinai to the Nile River. That is the land grant God gave to Moses. They've never had it yet. That's going to be the restored Israel. When all Israel is Israel. But I'm afraid they've got a butt-kicking coming between now and then. Because it's not going to be the might and power of Israel and a very few that overcome these demonic forces that are one of pushing it from the river to the sea. Doesn't look like Israel's going to come out on top on this one when it's over. But what's going to happen? Keep not thou silence, O God. Hold not thy peace. Be not still, O God. For lo, thy enemies make a tumult. They don't like us. They're causing a ruckus. And they that hate thee have lifted up the head. They have taken crafty counsel against thy people and consoled against thy hidden ones. They have said, Come, let us cut them off from being a nation that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. For they've consoled together with one consent. They are confederate against thee, Israel. The tabernacles of Edom. Jordan. Jordan area. And the Ishmaelites. Arabs. Moab. Midians. The Hagareens. Egyptians. Gebel and Ammon and Amalek and the Philistines. Gaza and West Bank folks. With the inhabitants of Tyre. Lebanon. And has joined with them. And they're helping the children of Lot. Haman and Moab. Children of Lot. Do unto them as you did unto the Midianites, was the prayer from the psalmist. Well, kill their leaders. I think Israel is probably going to defeat all of those neighbors and probably end up ruling with an iron fist their land from the Euphrates to the Mediterranean. Which means, well, let's see. Isaiah 17. This Psalm is 83. I've heard people say, oh, it was done way back in 1948 when it first started. That only two of these countries listed in Psalm 83 made any kind of peace agreement with Israel. That's Jordan and Egypt. And that's just not the whole heart of all of them because an awful lot of the people in there still want from the river to the sea. And when their politics changes, that's what happens. Their politics changes from the river to the sea. All these nations from 1948 till today have been doing this Psalm 83. There's been no peace for Israel. There's been no victory for Israel over them. This has got to happen. The bride of Christ may or may not be here to see that. Well, it's going to be real interesting what Israel does in the next few hours. Maybe since we've been here, I haven't heard. But now that Iran, Persia, has come out in the open and attacked Israel. You see, Israel blew up an annex to the ambassador's place. It wasn't the, what do they call them things? Consulate? The what? Embassy, yeah. Iran and all the river to the sea people are saying, oh, when they attack an embassy, they attack our homeland and everything, you know. And so we've got a right to attack them. Well, it was an annex. It was a building that was associated with the embassy, but not part of the embassy. And Israel knew that the enemy's generals were there getting ready to make plans to keep agitating and attacking Israel. And so this went in there. Precision strike took out the annex and didn't hurt the embassy. On the same block. Pretty good shot. Thank you, F-35s. I read that of the 300 and some odd drones and missiles and other things that they shot at Israel, that our F-35s took out probably 99% of them before they ever got to the Israeli border. Shot them down in Iraq. They shot them down in Arabia. They shot them down in Jordan before they could ever attack and get to Israel. That's a miracle. But we've got stuff on the horizon. Isaiah 17, the burden of Damascus. Well, what's Damascus? Damascus is the hub that Persia, Iran, Persia is Iran, uses to supply the enemies of Israel that were undercover, so to speak, but out in front so that Iran can say, oh, it's not us, it's Hezbollah. It's Hamas. It's the Palestinian Authority. It's not us. But today, yeah, it's us. So Israel says, all right. Now that they've done that, we can do what we've been wanting to do for 20 years. We'll see what happens. Because our government, such as it is, is saying, oh, just call it quits. Don't do anything else. Just be quiet. Let's have peace. Let's have peace while we're infiltrating all of their Hezbollah terrorists and stuff into the United States. Let's have peace. Folks, I've heard since midnight there's been like three or four knifings and shootings and mass shootings and stuff going on here in our country. Pay attention. It's heads up. Pay attention where you're going. If you go to Walmart, you've got eyes in the back of your head because they like to go in them places and shoot people up. It's time to be careful. Pay attention. Our own government is telling our people stay away from public places, stay away from public events. I mean, like, if you think you're wanting to go to, I don't even know what some of these things, what these people are anymore, but concert, you know. Grateful Dead concert, you know. Anybody remember what they were? Not old enough, you know, deadhead. Was you a deadhead? Well, stay away from them places because they'd like to come in and kill you. A lot of the people that want to push the Christians from the river to the sea are doing the devil's bidding and they don't like us. So the devil is saying, demons go kill them, demons go kill that, go do this, cause this trouble, cause that trouble. Most of these people don't have a clue what they're doing. They're just going out and doing stuff because the devil runs them. You've got to be careful of them. They can be dangerous, you know. I, myself, one of the last movies I think I ever saw was Indiana Jones, which was released, what, just last week? Last century, the other day. But I, myself, and very much of the Indiana Jones philosophy, the guy's coming at me from the end of the block with a sword. Well, y'all remember that scene, right? I'm too old to get in a fight that I can't win with my index finger. The burden of Damascus, behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city and it shall be a ruinous heap. In one day, Damascus is going to disappear. All in one. This prophecy's not fulfilled yet. It could happen before we, the bride takes off. It could happen, could have happened already. Because when Israel moves this time, they're going to move with a big cloth. Jeremiah 49, 35, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, I will break the bow of Elam. Well, if the bomb on the end of a rocket is the arrow, then the rocket must be the bow that sends the arrow. Elam is south-eastern Iran, all along the coast, where all the nuclear facilities are in Iran. Jeremiah 49, 35, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might. That could happen before we get through to lying over a cowboy or a truck wagon. Maybe it already has. I don't know what they're doing. Ezekiel 29, 10, Behold, therefore, I am against thee and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt. And this is one prophecy that I found a long time ago that I never heard people talking about. They just don't talk about it because Egypt's out of history, right? Behold, therefore, I am against thee and against the rivers, against Egypt, against the Muslim brotherhood, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate. Well, it's all desert anyway. I mean, it sounds like Mojave County. But from the Tower of Syene unto the border of Ethiopia. Well, you know what's up there? And there is a monument on the Aswan Dam called the Tower of Syrene. Well, if you've lived the biggest town in the world on the Nile River that goes through Egypt, and 90%, 95% of the people live on the banks of that river, I wonder how many of them can swim. Behold, therefore, I am against thee and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate from the Tower of Syrene unto the borders of Ethiopia. Thus saith the Lord, They also that uphold Egypt shall fall, and the pride of her power shall come down from the Tower of Syrene shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord. That could happen. Could happen today. I wonder. I was just thinking here a while back, I wonder how many people in Bullhead are good swimmers. If somebody nukes her or hoovers her down. I'll be heading for higher ground. Ezekiel 38. Folks, we don't necessarily have to be here for that one. Listen, what's going to happen, Egypt's going to, in my opinion, do Damascus. It's going to do Elon. It's going to do Egypt. It's going to do Psalms 38, Psalms 83. This could all be happening this week. These prophecies could be happening this week. You might want to go to Walmart this afternoon. In case you're low on peanut butter or something. Keep your fuel tanks full because lots of our diesel fuel comes out through the Persian Gulf over there. Ezekiel 38 is the time when Israel has shot their wad. Israel doesn't have any strength to resist anything. And after they do what they're going to do to stop this threat against them from the river to the sea, the whole world is against Israel for what they did. And so there's going to be a vacuum there. And that's where Ezekiel 38 comes in play. That's when Russia and Turkey, which always wanted to rule a place down there since they had it before, and China, and what's left of Iran and their cohorts and all the stands, all the rest of the Muslims that are left around. They say, yeah, we'll come down because now Israel's got all the oil and gas from the Euphrates to the sea and down through Kuwait and across northern Saudi Arabia. We can't have those Israel that's not all Israel running things like that. I'm not sure that the church will be here for that program. We could be here for these first few ones I've talked to you about. But the Ezekiel 38, I don't know if the church is going to be here. Because that's when God's wife runs for the hills and God's super protection protects them. And those that are left that have become believers that weren't Antioch Christians lose their head because they say, I ain't taking that number. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah. Well, that's my take on the current news. But we've got the gospel. Acts 16, 31. And it's still time to be an Antioch Christian. And they said, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. Romans 10, 9 says, that thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised Him from the dead. Thou shalt be saved. 1 Corinthians 15, 1-4 says, I declare unto you the gospel by which also ye are saved. Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures. And that as He was buried, that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures. Do you believe that? Do you believe that? You're an Antioch Christian. The bride. The bride. One of the women. There's two women. So there's the bride that the Father has called out and given to the Son. And there's going to be a wedding feast real soon. A little over seven years right now. Going to be seven years of hell on earth. And then at that wedding feast, a little over seven years, our beautiful mother-in-law is going to be there in all her glory that was intended for her. Two women. Two wives. Dear Heavenly Father, I just thank You, Lord, for the blessings of this day. I thank You for each one that's here. God, give us hunger to be in Your Word. Help us to see, to know, to discern. To make provisions, too. Most of all, to seek You, Father. In Your protection, in Your provision, Father. But give us good sense. Show us passionate habits to follow, Father. And guide us and direct us. Give us strength and courage. Father, we ask Your blessing upon the Chuckwagon crew and the food they've prepared for us, Father. Pray for blessings for them. Be with us and protect us, Lord, till we meet again. Father, I just want to thank You for our cowboy band. They uplift us with songs and praise. Thank You, Father, for them. Guide us and direct us and bless us, Lord, till we meet again. In Jesus' name I pray. Thank You, Lord. Thank You, Lord. Thank You, Lord. Thank You, Lord. Thank You, Lord. Thank You, Lord. Thank You, Lord. Thank You, Lord. Thank You, Lord. Thank You, Lord.
