Praise you Jesus. Praise you Jesus. Praise you Lord.
Praise you Jesus. Praise you Jesus. Glory to God.
Hallelujah. Gracious Father God, lover of all souls, dismissive of none, we approach your throne of grace today humbly, acknowledging your supremacy, acknowledging your foreknowledge, exalting your holiness, and knowing that there’s only one path to you, and that’s through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. Lord, we’re a needy people in this congregation, let alone the rest of the world.
We are a needy people. There are so many needs among us, so many needs, so many physical infirmities, and it hurts all of us to see suffering and hurt. We’re not disappointed with you, Lord, because you can do nothing wrong.
And we are your servants, we live in the palm of your hand. If you were to slay every one of us today, we would still trust you. We trust you.
So we yield up to you, Lord God, all of the cries, all of the needs of our congregation, of this community of believers. We ask you, Lord, to heal, to restore, and to protect all of us from the tribulations that come from being human. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Amen. I have a very sobering message today. If I have enough time, because this is not a short message, the topic is so vast.
If I have enough time, it’ll be positive by the time I get to the end, but if I don’t have enough time, you’ll walk out of here, and there’ll be chin marks all the way out on the carpet going out. So let me start off with a little levity first, to kind of soften the blow. What’s he going to say, Martha, has he gone crazy? So we have a daughter that lives in Niagara Falls, they’ve always lived there.
And a young mother with a tribe of children, really a tribe, and so she wanted to treat grandma and grandpa to Thanksgiving dinner with her family, and so they lived in this beautiful little house over in Niagara Falls. So April and I show up, and our daughter Sherry had gone to great lengths, unbelievable, who knows what time of the morning she was up. This is the first time that we’d been to her dinner table, and she was going to put on a good front.
And we were so proud of her and so excited. So dinner time is called, so we all go around and we find our places around the table. And there’s this little guy right beside me.
So at that point, he was the youngest of the emerging tribe at that time. A little bit of an imp, all my grandkids are, they take right after me. And so as I’m looking at the dinner plates, I look around and here’s this cute little thing in front of everybody’s plate, and it’s a candy turkey.
This is Thanksgiving, it’s a candy turkey, and she’s made this up herself with all these little candy beads and whatever. So here’s this little turkey sitting in front of me, and it’s got cute little eyes. There are little candy beads and a little beak.
I don’t know what that was. And so I thought, look how far she’s gone to make this special. Then as I sat down, I now focused on my little turkey.
My little turkey doesn’t have eyes. My little turkey doesn’t have a beak. And I said so.
I said, Sherry, did you put eyes and beaks on all of the little turkey? Of course, I did, dad. Well, my turkey was facing me. She couldn’t see that my turkey was faceless.
I turned to this little guy beside me. He had the picture of guilt all over him. I said, Dylan, my turkey doesn’t have eyes and my turkey doesn’t have a beak.
Dylan, are you a bad boy? And he looked up at me with the most innocent look, and he said, no, Gampy, I be happy boy. He’s still a happy boy. I’ve lost track of the ages of all my kids.
He must be moving towards the age of 30-ish, I guess. But he’s still just a happy boy. And he’s not learning.
And he’s breaking into mom and dad’s heart. I won’t go into any descriptions. It wouldn’t be wise or prudent.
He’s failing to look in the divine mirror. The divine mirror is the word of God. Say amen.
When we fail to look in the mirror, we do not see the devastation that sin imposes. Cancer is maybe one of the most feared words in the world. Sin is a greater devastating enemy.
And this does not kill the body. This kills the soul. And the apostle Paul in Romans chapter 7 describes a profound struggle that he has personally experienced, the inability to consistently do right.
He says in frustration, I don’t understand. I don’t understand what I do. I’m not talking about you, he says.
I’m talking about me. I don’t understand what makes me tick. I know what I want to do, but I don’t do it.
But I hate what I do, but I consistently do it. I know what’s right, but I struggle. I struggle to meet the challenge of doing right.
It’s so much easier to do wrong. He expressed a deep awareness of a human flaw. It’s in the nature of all of us.
We hate to be called sinners. We hate it. You tell somebody anywhere, you know you’re a sinner.
Who do you think you are judging me? I’m not judging you. Have you looked in the mirror lately? The word of God says all of us have sinned and we’ve come short of meeting God’s expectations of us. And we know the expectations.
It’s not only in the word of God. We deny this, but the essential elements of righteousness and doing right has already been put into the heart of everyone. You find a drunk in downtown St. Catharines tonight about 11 o’clock, drunk as a skunk, and you tell him, you know you’re a failure.
He’d say, I know. He won’t argue with you. He knows.
He knows. We’re all flawed. And we know that nothing good dwells in us.
That’s the word of God. But we’re living in a society right now in Canada who refuses to look in any mirror. And they call their position, my truth.
That’s an amazing statement. They’re saying, I don’t care what your truth is. I have my truth.
So there’s no congregate established understanding among people today. What is truth? For each of us does that which is right in our own eyes, and it’s a path that leads to nothing but destruction. I have the desire to do what’s right, but I don’t seem to have the ability to carry it out.
So now that leads me, I leave that topic for a little bit. And I come to another topic, which I have been chewing on for a little bit. I’ve always known from a youngster that Israel had done something wrong.
God’s chosen people, and I’m very much aware of a somewhat humorous line coming out of a very famous movie called Fiddler on the Roof, where this little Jewish fellow is worn out from all the troubles that he’s been experiencing, the rejection and all the rest of it. And so in his very strong Jewish speech, he says, hey, Lord, I know that we’re called the chosen people. Could you consider choosing somebody else for a little while? Why are the chosen people experiencing so much trouble? Since 1948, when a declaration was made by the United Nations that Israel is a nation, denied by the Arabs on the spot, on the moment, that statement, Israel is now a nation, was an invitation for all the Arabs of that part of the world, attack Israel, they don’t deserve to be a nation.
Some things never change. And from the moment that Israel was declared a nation, they fought, to this day, they have fought eight major military wars and 10 other lesser fights. Hey, Lord, could you choose somebody else for a little while? Why are the chosen people, why are they so scattered? Why are they so troubled? And there’s a way to find out.
And I’ve thought about this before, but now I’m really zeroing in into it. God instituted laws, biblical laws, to expose humanity’s sinfulness and our inability to meet his perfect standards. It’s impossible to live up to God’s standards.
And so some people just give up and say, look, that’s an impossibility, because every one of us is prone to sin once every hour. You deny that, that’s a sin. We’re just prone to do what’s wrong.
And so God gave us some laws to say, stay away from this and you’ll do well. And if you do that, you will begin to understand my character, says the Lord. The distance between God and humanity is humongous.
And that was established in the Garden of Eden. Adam, where did you get to? Stop your hiding. That was before the law was given to Moses.
Pain because of sin. So the laws were given to Moses. We know them from the book of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, four books all centered on the holiness of God and the debauchery of the human soul without redemption.
And those four books serve as a divine mirror that we would look into that and see what we are and who we are. Now, I’m going to read from Leviticus chapter 18, and I think I have it coming up on a screen for you. When the Lord said to Moses, speak to the Israelites and say to them, I am the Lord your God.
You must do, you must not do as they do in Egypt. You must not do what they do in Egypt. In other words, you were there for 400 years.
You saw how they lived. You may not do what they do when you get to the land that flows with milk and honey, Canaan. That’s where I’m going to be bringing you.
Do not follow their practices. You must obey my laws and be careful to follow my decrees. I am the Lord your God, keep my decrees and laws for the person who obeys them will live by them.
I am the Lord. So that few verses in that chapter is an introductory. Then the Lord goes on to, with great clarity, expose what he hates, absolutely despises.
It’s an indictment against a nation like Egypt at the time, who just would have nothing to do with that which is right, pure. So the following verses give us a picture of a pathetic culture known as Egypt. They live for self-gratification, gross activity.
And the Jews lived among them. And the Jews must have seen this from the day they got there. They were forced to go to Egypt.
They were hungry. There was a famine on, and they ended up in Egypt as an escape route to at least get some food and last for 400 years, they lived with a people whose whole lives were given over to debauchery, sin. Moses explains what happens to a people who go astray.
He goes on to explain in the rest of that church an exhaustive list, 28 things that the Lord says, specifically, this is what I hate. And it’s interesting when he talks about Egypt and says, don’t you live out their practices, he doesn’t mention robbing a bank, doesn’t mention beating somebody until they’re bleeding to death, doesn’t mention theft, doesn’t mention telling lies, 28 in the list. And it’s all got to do with S-E-X.
Sexual practice is forbidden by God, including various forms of incest. This is how Egypt lived, adultery, homosexuality. Am I allowed to say that, Mr. Prime Minister? Am I allowed to say that because that’s what the word of God, here the Lord says, I detest these things.
And there’s no way around that. You can’t say, well, this is a different time, this is a different age. He never changes.
What he hated then, he hates now. What he loved then, he loves now. God will not change with society’s whims of self-dirtification.
And then the Lord goes on to speak of bestiality. I don’t even want to think about that. And he also includes, you must not get into the practice of sacrificing your children.
That was following the God of Molech. So the Egyptians had learned about the God of Molech and they thought, well, let’s include that God. So you throw your child into the fire and burn them alive.
He said, do not waste your children. Today, the God of Molech is the God of abortion. I told you this is going to be sobering.
Now in this passage where the Lord says, don’t do this, stay away from these things. He likens Israel, the land, to a personality. He personifies the land.
And he says, the land of milk and honey will be defiled. If you go there and you take Egyptian concepts with you, and the verse uses a prophetic metaphor to describe how the land will feel as though the land, the promised land, I’m giving you this promise. Abraham, everything that you see, I’m giving it to you.
It’s like a holy gift. Don’t defile the gift that I give you. This metaphor describes this person, this land, who’s so troubled by the defilement, the Lord says it will vomit you out of its mouth because even the land will be disgusted.
So this illustrates the repugnance of these acts. In God’s eyes, and the impact of sin beyond the people committing it, Hollywood, they have glorified immorality. You take immorality out of Hollywood, there’s nothing left.
It’s a hollow shell. So verse 24, I’m actually going to read these and I’ve got them for you. I think you can see them.
Verse 24, do not defile yourselves in any of these ways because this is how the nations that I’m going to drive out before you became defiled. Even the land was defiled. So I punished it for its sin and the land vomited out its inhabitants, but you must keep my decrees and my laws, the native born and the former foreigners who will be residing among you must not do any of these detestable things.
For all these things were done by the people who lived in the land before you and the land became defiled. And if you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it vomited the nations that were before you. This is the Lord saying in advance without giving names, dates, he’s saying, if you don’t follow my rules, I’ll punish you and you’ll be taken into captivity by a warring nation called Babylon, Iraq.
It’ll vomit you out. Everyone who does any of these detestable things, do I need to go through it again? The things that God detests, adultery, fornication, homosexuality, bestiality, and murdering our children, he detests it. There’s no soft way to say it.
And everything that Moses said and predicted because he became the Oracle, the mouthpiece of God, everything that the Lord said through Moses came to be. You will be tossed out of your country, and they were. Not once, but several times.
Daniel 9 verse 11, all Israel has transgressed your law and departed so as not to obey your voice. Therefore, the curse and the oath written in the law of Moses, the servant of God, have been poured out on us because we have sinned against him. So why is Israel in the jam, in the spot that they’re in, consistently under attack? And you know, we can come up with all kinds of reasonable explanations.
It goes back to Jacob and Esau and the trouble that was going with them. We could go, we could say, well, it’s all about Islam and Judaism fighting over the same piece of ground, the same little mountaintop that they both claim is their special place. We could explain that.
We could explain a lot. We could try and explain it a lot a way. Bottom line, Israel failed God.
And you have to ask yourself, make America great again will do nothing for its future if America doesn’t come back to God, Mr. Trump. And if your nation acts out the way you used to before you got religion or whatever it is you got, if your nation continues to say, that’s okay for him, but I like the old Trumper and I’m going to live out that way, Mr. Trump, if the people follow the old Trump instead of the so-called new Trump, your nation is going to go to hell in a handbasket because God, God does not let a nation get away with it. Comes a day when it says that God’s going to assemble all the nations and he’s going to divide them up.
You’re a goat. You’re all the goats over there. Warnings, warnings.
It’s coming, Israel. It’s coming. It’s coming.
Isaiah. So we go back to Moses. Moses said, this is what the Lord says.
If we don’t follow his laws, we are to be God’s model for the whole world, for all the nations. They are supposed to come and look at us and we are supposed to be a model of righteousness, a model of truth, a model of holiness, a model of following after God, our creator. We’re to be the model.
And if we fail to be the model, God is going to, he’s going to discipline us until we become the people he wants us to be. And they will become whatever’s left of them. They will.
You read the chapters. You know, the book of Revelation, it says the revelation of Christ. It’s Jesus revealing himself to the whole world, but specifically the book of Revelation is Jesus revealing himself to the Jews.
He’s going to do it. He’s going to take them out to the woodshed and he’s going to whip them until they say, uncle, he’s going to do it. And that’s the troubles that are going through now.
But I have some good news for you in just a moment. Babylon is coming for us, said Isaiah, said Jeremiah, said Ezekiel. And Jesus says to the Pharisees of his day, he said, you killed the prophets.
You despised the law of God. In fact, you took the law of God and you made it into something it was never supposed to be. You made the law your God.
Isn’t that incredible? You made the law your God. You worship the law instead of worshiping the Lord who is using the law to give you a mirror of who you are and to show you what you need to do to follow him. But you worship the law to the point when Jesus comes on the scene and the Pharisees are running the country religiously, you have to perform the law, the law, the law, the law.
We perform the law. We’re the good guys. We’re the guys that ride the white horses.
You’re the guys that ride all the other poor horses. We’re the good guys. So they were, they were worshiping the law.
And we got to be careful that we don’t fall into that trap, that we worship the law. And when you worship the law, the law is a whip. The law is a tyrant.
The law comes down and says, thou shalt not, thou shalt not, thou shalt not. And I know somebody that I love with all my heart, a preacher, and I’ve tried to warn him. He comes to me.
I’m a mentor to him. I’m more than a mentor to him. I’m going to keep his, his name, his person out of the picture.
Just you catch on to too much. I can’t tell you. But this fellow, but when this fellow, he changed his, he changed his direction in ministry.
He had good training, but he went to another seminary where they literally worship the law to the point where he left the Pentecostal assembly saying, I’m not sure any of them are saved because they don’t obey the word of God. I said, where’s grace, where’s mercy? Where is it? So you can’t worship the law. You’ve got to worship the Lord.
And it’s the law that was designed to bring us to him, but it could not be fulfilled by the people. Therefore, he sent his word. You see, the law was there to instruct us, beat us, try and get us into line.
Then the word comes full of mercy and truth, and we beheld the glory of the word of God. In the beginning was the word. The word was with him.
The word was God. There was nothing made without him. So the first message of the law was God’s holy and you’re not.
And for a century, the people tried to live up to the law, and it was the Lord saying, try it, go ahead and try it. It was not unlike the day that God spoke to Adam, I’m going to cause all the animals to come before you. I’m inviting you today to choose a wife, and at the end of the day, every animal had passed before him, and God said, how did it work out? He said, none of them were for me, and God had to say, good, I want you to come to that conclusion.
Now, let me show you what I’m going to do, and it’s going to be a painful thing. I’m going to rip a rib out of your side, and I’ll provide a proper wife. God says through the law, try it, try it, try it.
Let everything come before you. Try and do everything. Don’t do this, don’t do that.
How did you work? And at the end of the day, we said, we’re worn out. We can’t keep your laws. He said, good, I’m glad you’ve learned the lesson.
Now, the truth comes before us up in the person of Jesus Christ. He is the Word of God, full of grace, full of grace. To the little woman caught in adultery, the men who worshiped the law were ready to stone her to death, but mercy showed up and said, I do not condemn you.
I still believe in you. Wow, there’s mercy. Oh, Israel, can you see it? Can you possibly see it? Can you see it? Mark Twain, he visited the land of the chosen people.
He visited the region of Israel in 1867. He went over there as a writer, journalist. He had it in his mind.
He went over there. He’d see this promised land. And as a Sunday school student, he had heard about Israel, Israel, Israel, the promised land that flows with milk and honey, and he became very enamored with all of this.
And then he decided when he had privilege, he went to his, I don’t know whoever published his stuff. And he said, put up some money for me. I want to go to this place called Israel.
I think there’s, I think there’s a story there. It might be a million story there. So he was financed and he went and he visited Israel before it was ever a place for tourists.
It was a no man’s land. Mark Twain visits 1867 and he documents what he sees in a book that he calls the Innocence Abroad. And he describes Jerusalem and all around, all around it.
He describes the land that flows of milk and honey, describes it as desolate, neglected and impoverished place. He’s contrasting the romanticized holy land. And he says, no, this is the stark reality.
I’ve been there. I saw it. And it is, well, some years ago, April and I made a journey to the place that Mark Twain said, I couldn’t wait to get out of here.
And we saw the nation that is spoken of in Isaiah chapter 66 and verse 8. When Mark Twain visited the place that we know as the holy land, Israel, Israel did not exist as a nation. There was no government, there was, there was nothing. It was just a desert place.
But Isaiah chapter 66 and verse 8, who’s ever heard of such things? Who’s ever seen things like this? Can a country be born in a day or a nation be brought forth in a moment? Yet no sooner is Zion in labor and then she gives birth to her children. That was a prophetic word by Isaiah. Now that was a time just before they got let off in the Babylonian captivity.
So they haven’t even been taken out yet. They haven’t been, they haven’t been totally disciplined yet. They’re kind of thinking everything’s cool.
And Isaiah says, it’s not cool. And this nation is going to be, these people, the whole thing’s going to be destroyed. The temple is going to be burned, leveled to the ground.
You’re going to become three Hebrew boys that are threatened with a furnace. You’re going to be a Daniel that they try to feed to the lions. That’s your future.
That’s what it’s starting to look like now. That’s how come those three Hebrew boys were where they were, that’s where they were. They were there because the nation, because the ground, the holy land had vomited them out.
Get out of here. But Isaiah now in chapter 66 says, that’s not the end of the story because God does not relent in his desire to have a people to call his own. He chose Abraham.
You almost wonder, maybe he should have chosen somebody else. What a mess. Highly unlikely.
None are righteous. Not a one. Abraham did not deserve what God bestowed upon him any more than you deserve what God has blessed you with.
You are a blessed people. Dear God, you’re blessed. The Bible describes you as sick from the head down.
We’re one big pus bag. We’re a mess. We don’t deserve grace.
There’s nothing about us that’s beautiful or desirable. You’re looking in the wrong mirror, honey. We’re disgusting.
But God sees something beautiful in that chunk of coal. He sees a diamond that in his hands can glisten, glow in the dark, and cause the whole world to desire it. He saw something in you.
Nothing that was resident. What he saw in you was Christ in you, the hope of glory. He did not see you in your pathetic situation.
He’d already dealt with that. And he commissioned his son, bring my people to me and redeem them. He came unto his own, Israel.
And they spit him out. And we are a blessed people to be chosen. The Holocaust.
I walked in Poland through one of those places. I saw the ovens, the crudest thing I’d ever seen in my life. I stood there, tears racing down my cheeks.
This was not Disneyland. The tray that they put these emaciated bodies on was just railway-type wheels sitting on a steel frame. They shoved it in and fired it up.
Not a few thousands, millions of innocent grandmas and grandpas and children. I saw rooms filled with human hair. Rooms filled with little children’s shoes.
I saw lamps that had been made, because some of them they skinned first and made lampshades out of their skin. The way of the transgressors is hard. Ezekiel 37, the Lord tells the prophet, I want you to talk about what you’re seeing.
Israel now is totally devastated. The people are viewed by the Lord as a wasted pile of bones. Nothing left, discarded, dead refuse.
Ezekiel 37, the hand of the Lord was upon me, and he brought me out in the spirit of the Lord and set me down in the middle of the valley. It was full of bones. He led me around among them, and behold, there were very many on the surface of the valley.
Behold they were very dry. And he said to me, son of man, can these live? And I answered, O Lord God, only you know. Then he said to me, prophesy over these bones and say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.
Thus says the Lord God to these bones, behold, I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live, and I will lay sinews upon you and will cause flesh to come upon you and cover you with skin and put breath in you, and you shall live, and you shall know that I am the Lord. You will know. You will know I’m doing this.
The prophet says, so I prophesied, just as I was commanded, and as I prophesied, there was a sound, Acts chapter 2, a sound. As I prophesied, there was a sound, and behold, a rattling, a sound as of a rushing mighty wind. There was no wind in Jerusalem that day.
There was a sound of a wind. You know, a tornado could go through this town, and you think a train was coming through. The noise would be nothing short.
It would be deafening. Wind can be noisy. Rattling of the bones came together, bone to his bone.
And I looked, and behold, there were sinews on them, and flesh had come upon them. Skin had covered them. This is the Lord showing the prophet, there’s going to be a miracle.
But there was still no breath in them. Then he said to me, prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man. Say to the breath, thus saith the Lord God, come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain that they may live.
O Jewish people, you’re not listening today, but if only you could. This is talking about you. You can live, and you will if you’ll respond to him.
So I prophesied as he commanded, and breath came into them. And they lived, and they stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army. Then he said to me, son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel.
Behold they say, our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost. We’ve been cut off. Therefore prophesy and say to them, this is what the Lord God says, behold, I will open your graves, and raise you from your graves, O my people.
He still calls them my people. O Israel, he still calls you his people, the chosen ones. Watch this.
These bones, these people, are not in Israel. They’re scattered, because he goes on and says, I will bring you, I will bring you into the land of Israel, and you will know that I am the Lord. When I open your graves, raise you up, O my people.
He says it again and again, my people. I will put my spirit within you, and you will live. I will place you in your own land.
Hear this, Palestinian authority. Hear this, Hezbollah. Hear this, Hamas, hiding in your dank caves, hoping that the people who are above you, the civilians, will die, die, die.
And then you can tell America and Canada, this is what Israel has done to us. Liars, they’re liars from the pit of hell. And anybody who defends them is of the same womb.
They came from the same birthing place. Lies. And the word of God tells us who fathers the lies, doesn’t it? More lies came out this week.
The media is not the friend of Israel. And we have politicians in our own country that are listening to the media. They haven’t got the sense to put up an umbrella when it’s raining.
They listen to the media, and they make decisions based on it, and they tell Israel, this is what you’re going to do. This is what you’re going to do. No.
Mr. Netanyahu, if you’re not listening to me, but oh, if you could, I would have said, be the man. I’m proud of you, sir. You are one of God’s sons.
Carry on, sir. We salute you. And we want to acknowledge you as a local congregation.
You’ll never hear about us. You’ll never hear of us. We’re just a pimple on somebody’s back.
But we want you to know somehow or other, we love you, Jew, and we are supporting you, and you don’t deserve the nonsense you’re getting into. Would you please consider Jesus? What if? What if? What if? Isaiah 35, the wilderness and the land will be glad. The desert will rejoice and blossom like a rose.
It will bloom profusely and rejoice with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon will be on it. The splendor of Haman and Sharon.
They will see the glory of the Lord. Israel’s thriving. I would give you a list today.
I think you’d get bored, but let me give you a few. Abraham, you will and your children be a source of blessing to every nation. I have a friend.
You pray for her. She lives in Maple Ridge, B.C., and she’s listening to what I’m saying right now. I never knew such a thing existed.
That’s because I don’t follow Israel closely enough. She was taken into a hospital. She had some tummy problems, and the doctor said, I want you to do something for me.
He handed her a pill. I want you to swallow this, please. You know what that pill was? Something that a Jewish laboratory dreamed up.
It’s a portable vision device. Elsie swallowed the pill, and the lab technician sat there, and we were able to view all of her digestive tract. Israel did that.
Not a Canadian. Not an American. Not a smart Arab.
A Jew. The nanowire. A conductive wire made of a string of tiny particles of silver.
That thread is thinner than the hair on your arm right now, and it’s used to conduct data. It’s called a nanowire. A home medical examined device provides remote physical exams without you ever leaving your home.
Thank you, son of Abraham. A social robot designed to combat loneliness in seniors. That is now a mental disorder that’s rabbiting Canada.
Seniors are lonely, and it’s a mental disorder now. They’re beside themselves. They’re lonely.
My children don’t visit me. My grandkids don’t have time for me. My husband’s died.
I live in this place staring at the walls. Lonely. Israel came up with something.
I can’t even imagine what this is. It’s a robot. I guess they sit there and talk to it.
I don’t know. It’s a social robot. Nouveau in view.
Remote pregnancy monitors. So you can watch your fetus as your fetus is growing. You can sit there and watch your baby 24 hours a day.
An invention of the flexible medical stent. Yep, I got one right now. Tom, you’ve got what? How many of these things have you got? Seven? Oh, sorry.
I was overstating that. He’s got six inventions by some little Jewish guy in Israel. God bless that Jew.
Say amen. Amen. An AI powered for a faster CT scan analysis.
My wife is supposed to have a CT scan. Hopefully they’ll get it done by Christmas and we hope she survives till then. They’ve got one.
Works like that. The ice cure. It’s a therapy for tumor removal.
Don’t ask me. The rewalk. An exoskeleton that helps paraplegics walk.
The nexobrid. A treatment for burn victims. The desert will blossom like a rose.
Isaiah 35. The desert and the parched land will be glad. The wilderness will rejoice and blossom.
I already read it. It’s worthy to be read again. Like the crocus, it will burst into bloom.
It will rejoice greatly. Did I tell you about the sewer water? Israel has fresh water. You know where they get it from? The Mediterranean.
They have perfected the desalinization. Millions and millions of gallons of fresh water coming out of the Mediterranean because they treat it. All of Israel drinks the Mediterranean water.
But when they flush it down, you know where, it’s collected in these huge places. They’ve got 87 treatment plants and what comes out of there is pure water. But nobody wants to drink that.
So they send the water out into the desert and it’s fulfilled. It says, oh I forget, Isaiah it says, and streams will flow in the desert. There are streams flowing in the desert.
It’s the result of repurified water coming from the toilets. So the water is always, always, always. And do you know that their water is used, again, all of their water is used 90%.
The wastage of water in all of Israel is only 10%. You know what the wastage is here? You don’t want to know. I’ll finish with this.
I don’t want to finish. My time’s gone. My time’s gone.
David, David, stop it. Stop it. Stop it.
I just read this the other day. A Russian guy that is agricultural came over to Israel. He wanted to, he heard about this.
They’ve turned the desert into an agricultural farm. It’s massive. Thousands of trees, date palms and vineyards and it’s unbelievable.
The desert is a garden. So this Russian came over and he said, we have wonderful apple trees. I’m going to compare.
He said, he looked at their tree and he said, how many kilograms does that tree produce in apples? And the Jewish fellow replied, he said, we don’t measure here in kilograms, we measure in tons. We measure in tons. So David, that means Israel’s problems are over? No.
It’s a new chance. You ask Israel, how come this came together so wonderfully and they’ll say, I guess we’re industrious people. A little proudful, isn’t it? Maybe God, maybe God is enticing you and saying, your fruitfulness is the third greatest in the entire world.
Israel’s gross national product per person is greater than all the nations of the world, excluding two, I forget which one, doesn’t matter. Do you think maybe God is still on your side? I think he is. Would you stand with me? It’s 20 after 12, I should let you out of here.
You’re going to come for lunch next Sunday? Okay, this is going to be, I heard that, I used to say this all the time, hey, we’re planning on a turkey dinner, we’d like you to come. And you please bring the turkey. So next Sunday’s going to be a delicious meal, but it’s going to be catered.
It’s going to be roast beef, fresh roast beef. It’s going to be great. But you are going to bring the butter tarts.
Or whatever. Little dainties, don’t bring stuff that we have to get out forks and plates. Don’t go that way.
It needs to be kind of like easy go, easy go. So, I think more people will be back. You announce free food and the place will be jammed.
It’s a long weekend, that’s where people went, and God bless them and keep them safe. So let us close in prayer. Heavenly Father, I get emotional when I think about God’s chosen people.
I get emotional when I think about Abraham and Isaac and Jacob. Lord, this is such a beautiful picture. It causes the Bible to come alive.
It’s so exciting. Lord, my heart breaks when I hear about the miserable, torturous things that Israel has experienced back to October the 7th and even going forward. The brutality, the raping, the pathetic stuff, all in the name of Allah.
Dear God! Dear God! Dear God! Step forward and rescue Israel, we pray. Give Netanyahu the brains of the wisest Solomon. Give their soldiers great bravery.
Thank you for every one of them. And keep them and protect them, we pray. And Lord, please, we pray for the ministers of the world.
The prime ministers who are telling Israel that they must do thus and so. Lord God, open their eyes that they might see. That their eyes might see.
We pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Amen and Amen. I love you.
While the Lord loves you, I’m working on my end of it.
