  • God says it's my judgment
  • 00:11:42.558 --> 00:11:44.026
  • God says it's my judgment on people who know the truth
  • 00:11:44.093 --> 00:11:45.194
  • On people who know the truth and don't live the truth,
  • 00:11:45.261 --> 00:11:46.796

  • You're supposed to build on but you don't, you build on sand,
  • 00:11:54.370 --> 00:11:55.538
  • But you don't, you build on sand, and therefore you're
  • 00:11:55.604 --> 00:11:56.672
  • You build on sand, and therefore you're vulnerable to the enemy.
  • 00:11:56.739 --> 00:11:58.140
  • And therefore you're vulnerable to the enemy. he goes on in the next chapter
  • 00:11:58.207 --> 00:11:59.341
  • Vulnerable to the enemy. he goes on in the next chapter to describe how these people

  • And he talks about them
  • 00:13:25.728 --> 00:13:26.862
  • And he talks about them being like warriors
  • 00:13:26.929 --> 00:13:28.163
  • Being like warriors riding on horses
  • 00:13:28.230 --> 00:13:29.632
  • Riding on horses and destroying.

  • And destroying. and he says this has come
  • 00:13:31.033 --> 00:13:32.334
  • And he says this has come as judgment on people
  • 00:13:32.401 --> 00:13:33.435
  • But they neglected it.
  • 00:13:35.237 --> 00:13:36.438
  • But they neglected it. they rebelled against it
  • 00:13:36.505 --> 00:13:37.740
  • But they neglected it. they rebelled against it and the enemy came in
  • 00:13:37.806 --> 00:13:39.475
  • They rebelled against it and the enemy came in like the devouring locusts.
  • 00:13:39.541 --> 00:13:40.843
  • And the enemy came in like the devouring locusts. that's precisely
  • 00:13:40.910 --> 00:13:42.044

  • And you notice that even christians
  • 00:21:14.296 --> 00:21:15.330
  • We're shaking our fists
  • 00:21:16.465 --> 00:21:17.399
  • We're shaking our fists at the darkness.
  • 00:21:17.466 --> 00:21:18.433

  • In psalm 37. in psalm 37 we're reminded not to fret over the wicked
  • 00:21:27.909 --> 00:21:29.778
  • In psalm 37 we're reminded not to fret over the wicked because there's
  • 00:21:29.845 --> 00:21:30.912
  • Not to fret over the wicked because there's a clear distinction in heaven
  • 00:21:30.979 --> 00:21:32.013

  • Between the wicked and those who fear god. if we live in reaction
  • 00:21:34.683 --> 00:21:35.917
  • And those who fear god. if we live in reaction to evil,
  • 00:21:35.984 --> 00:21:37.085
  • If we live in reaction to evil, it will only harm us
  • 00:21:37.152 --> 00:21:38.220
  • To evil, it will only harm us and harm others.
  • 00:21:38.286 --> 00:21:39.254
  • It will only harm us and harm others. but in psalm 37 it says,
  • 00:21:39.321 --> 00:21:40.689
  • And harm others. but in psalm 37 it says, but you,
  • 00:21:40.756 --> 00:21:41.723
  • But in psalm 37 it says, but you, you dwell on the land
  • 00:21:41.790 --> 00:21:42.758
  • But you, you dwell on the land and feed

  • In an abundance of peace. when you find yourself tempted to shake your fist
  • 00:22:01.042 --> 00:22:02.144

  • 00:23:44.579 --> 00:23:45.847
  • On paper, we look the same, as if the resurrection power has not made a difference
  • 00:23:45.914 --> 00:23:46.982
