  • God says it's my judgment
  • 00:11:43.548 --> 00:11:45.016
  • God says it's my judgment on people who know the truth
  • 00:11:45.083 --> 00:11:46.184
  • On people who know the truth and don't live the truth,
  • 00:11:46.251 --> 00:11:47.786

  • You're supposed to build on but you don't, you build on sand,
  • 00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:56.528
  • But you don't, you build on sand, and therefore you're
  • 00:11:56.594 --> 00:11:57.662
  • You build on sand, and therefore you're vulnerable to the enemy.
  • 00:11:57.729 --> 00:11:59.130
  • And therefore you're vulnerable to the enemy. he goes on in the next chapter
  • 00:11:59.197 --> 00:12:00.331
  • Vulnerable to the enemy. he goes on in the next chapter to describe how these people

  • And he talks about them
  • 00:13:26.718 --> 00:13:27.852
  • And he talks about them being like warriors
  • 00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:29.153
  • Being like warriors riding on horses
  • 00:13:29.220 --> 00:13:30.622
  • Riding on horses and destroying.

  • And he says this has come as judgment on people
  • 00:13:33.391 --> 00:13:34.425
  • But they neglected it.
  • 00:13:36.227 --> 00:13:37.428
  • But they neglected it. they rebelled against it
  • 00:13:37.495 --> 00:13:38.730
  • But they neglected it. they rebelled against it and the enemy came in
  • 00:13:38.796 --> 00:13:40.465
  • They rebelled against it and the enemy came in like the devouring locusts.
  • 00:13:40.531 --> 00:13:41.833
  • And the enemy came in like the devouring locusts. that's precisely
  • 00:13:41.900 --> 00:13:43.034

  • We're shaking our fists
  • 00:21:17.455 --> 00:21:18.389
  • We're shaking our fists at the darkness.
  • 00:21:18.456 --> 00:21:19.423

  • In psalm 37. in psalm 37 we're reminded not to fret over the wicked
  • 00:21:28.899 --> 00:21:30.768

  • 00:21:30.835 --> 00:21:31.902
  • Not to fret over the wicked because there's a clear distinction in heaven
  • 00:21:31.969 --> 00:21:33.003

  • Between the wicked and those who fear god. if we live in reaction
  • 00:21:35.673 --> 00:21:36.907
  • And those who fear god. if we live in reaction to evil,
  • 00:21:36.974 --> 00:21:38.075
  • If we live in reaction to evil, it will only harm us
  • 00:21:38.142 --> 00:21:39.210
  • To evil, it will only harm us and harm others.
  • 00:21:39.276 --> 00:21:40.244
  • It will only harm us and harm others. but in psalm 37 it says,
  • 00:21:40.311 --> 00:21:41.679
  • And harm others. but in psalm 37 it says, but you,
  • 00:21:41.746 --> 00:21:42.713
  • But in psalm 37 it says, but you, you dwell on the land
  • 00:21:42.780 --> 00:21:43.748
