1 00:00:04,719 --> 00:00:10,080 Greetings. This is Pastor David Bass at New Geneva Orthodox Presbyterian Church with a 2 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:15,039 moment of truth, where we challenge you to think through an important issue of life and faith. And 3 00:00:15,039 --> 00:00:24,480 today, I want to ask you, why is it that we need to set aside the secular constitution of the United 4 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:32,640 States of America in favor of an explicitly Christian constitution? Now, last week, I outlined 5 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:39,560 a plan for a world government composed of a Congress of Christian constitutional republics. 6 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:47,320 It is virtually a design for the millennia. Now, this is not new with me. Others have laid groundwork 7 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:55,939 for this in the past. I will be referring to some of them, I think, in future. But suffice it to say 8 00:00:55,939 --> 00:01:03,359 that for now, this Congress of Christian constitutional republics would replace the 9 00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:12,459 present travesty, travesty, excuse me, of the United Nations, which has thus far, the United Nations 10 00:01:12,459 --> 00:01:20,239 has united no one. It's brought peace nowhere, and it solved nothing of the world's problems in the 11 00:01:20,239 --> 00:01:27,340 history of its existence. It's been entirely impotent in bringing any kind of blessing to the earth. In 12 00:01:27,340 --> 00:01:35,000 fact, an argument can be made that it has rather fostered war and conflict and misery to a greater 13 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:41,760 degree than it has eased any of these. And I'll make that argument further in days to come. But for 14 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:49,140 now, I want to give a brief overview as to why it has become necessary, necessary to lay out a long-range 15 00:01:49,140 --> 00:01:56,620 strategy to build a new world based upon a new principle, which is really an old principle, which 16 00:01:56,620 --> 00:02:03,959 we seem to have forgotten. And just one small sample from the Scriptures will suffice. And we usually 17 00:02:03,959 --> 00:02:14,280 hear this verse around Christmastime from Isaiah chapter 9, but it is for the whole year round, where Isaiah 18 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:22,479 says, For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government shall be upon his shoulder, 19 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:30,539 and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 20 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:38,919 Of the increase of his government and of peace, there will be no end. On the throne of David and over his 21 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:44,159 kingdom, to establish it and uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time 22 00:02:44,159 --> 00:02:51,639 forth and forevermore, the zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this. Unquote from Isaiah chapter 9. 23 00:02:52,539 --> 00:03:00,400 Well, this government on the shoulders of Messiah, this government is not for some airy-fairy age to 24 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:06,439 come, some literal 1,000-year period when Jesus will reign in some dispensational kingdom in a Jewish 25 00:03:06,439 --> 00:03:12,460 Jerusalem after seven-year great tribulation and a battle of Armageddon, right? That's usually how 26 00:03:12,460 --> 00:03:20,560 the scenario is drawn. Rather, this government is a government for the ages, and it's for our time. 27 00:03:20,860 --> 00:03:27,599 It's meant to be actualized before our Lord's return. The psalmist agrees and says as much in Psalm 2, 28 00:03:27,599 --> 00:03:36,259 Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, says the Lord God to his Son. Ask of me, 29 00:03:36,300 --> 00:03:41,819 and I will make the nations your heritage and the ends of the earth your possession. You shall break 30 00:03:41,819 --> 00:03:48,259 them with a rod of iron and dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. Oh, dear listener, Christ 31 00:03:48,259 --> 00:03:55,620 is meant to rule the nations now. He is to have dominion in this age. And as John points out in 32 00:03:55,620 --> 00:03:59,439 Revelation as well, from Revelation chapter 20, where it says, 33 00:03:59,939 --> 00:04:05,139 Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I 34 00:04:05,139 --> 00:04:10,680 saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, 35 00:04:11,020 --> 00:04:17,379 and those who had not worshipped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads 36 00:04:17,379 --> 00:04:25,699 with our hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. So we see indeed that 37 00:04:25,699 --> 00:04:34,319 the Lord will reign. He will rule the nations here in this period. But before that vision can be 38 00:04:34,319 --> 00:04:41,360 fulfilled, the ground must be cleared of the underbrush of demonic tyranny that we are now 39 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:48,399 experiencing. I submit this to you. The government, as we know, know it, must be utterly destroyed and 40 00:04:48,399 --> 00:04:57,980 replaced. It's too late to be redeemed. It is beyond redemption. The constitutional republic established by 41 00:04:57,980 --> 00:05:04,420 our founding fathers is beyond repair. It is a fact apparent to anyone with eyes in their head. And 42 00:05:04,420 --> 00:05:10,199 let me lay out these facts, two of them primarily, in support of my thesis. Number one, 43 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:18,680 the permanent bureaucracy or the deep state has gradually replaced we the people as the ultimate 44 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:27,639 authority in our frame of government. Oh, yes, our blessed constitution begins with we the people 45 00:05:27,639 --> 00:05:34,199 in order to, and then it gives the six principles of government that the constitution is 46 00:05:34,199 --> 00:05:43,579 established. Well, that we, the people, has now been replaced by you, the state, the permanent 47 00:05:43,579 --> 00:05:51,980 bureaucracy. In ancient Rome, let me give you an example. In ancient Rome, the Praetorian Guard was the 48 00:05:51,980 --> 00:05:57,939 elite of the elite of all the Roman legions, and they were the smartest and most skilled warriors in all of 49 00:05:57,939 --> 00:06:03,759 Rome, and they guarded the life of the emperor, much like the Secret Service does for our president of the 50 00:06:03,759 --> 00:06:09,439 United States, but they were much more. Over the centuries, they became more powerful than any 51 00:06:09,439 --> 00:06:17,040 individual emperor, the Praetorian Guard. And much like the elected representatives in our own system, 52 00:06:17,139 --> 00:06:23,879 the emperors came and went every few years, but the Praetorian Guard remained. They provided continuity 53 00:06:23,879 --> 00:06:30,800 of power throughout Rome, and a crisis developed maybe, or they helped the incoming emperor learn the 54 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:36,420 reigns of power. They helped him adapt to the ins and outs, the intricacies and the subtleties of the 55 00:06:36,420 --> 00:06:43,959 Roman court. Oh, but gradually, almost imperceptibly, the Praetorian Guard, because of its permanent status 56 00:06:43,959 --> 00:06:51,160 in Rome, soon became more powerful than the senate or the emperor. And indeed, the Praetorian Guard began 57 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:56,680 to dictate to the emperor and senate. They set up and they deposed emperors of their own choosing, 58 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:03,800 in fact. And although the original intention for the Praetorian Guard was for it to serve the Empire of 59 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:12,579 Rome, in the end, it ended up being served by the Empire. The Praetorian Guard became rich and powerful 60 00:07:12,579 --> 00:07:19,519 at the expense of the Empire. Well, I submit to you that the permanent bureaucracy, the deep state, 61 00:07:19,519 --> 00:07:27,579 in our own time, is the equivalent of the Praetorian Guard of Rome. Like emperors, presidents and congressmen 62 00:07:27,579 --> 00:07:33,199 come and go every few years, depending on their length of terms. But what is guaranteed is that the vast 63 00:07:33,199 --> 00:07:41,759 octopus-like deep state abides, decade after decade, just like the Praetorian Guard. Who can cut off even one of 64 00:07:41,759 --> 00:07:49,379 this octopus's tentacles, huh? Oh, for example, Ronald Reagan said he would end the National Education 65 00:07:49,379 --> 00:07:56,500 Administration, begun by his predecessor, Jimmy Carter. Instead, Ronald Reagan, excuse me, Ronald Reagan, 66 00:07:56,500 --> 00:08:05,259 went away while the NEA burgeoned into a monster bureaucracy, draining tax dollars while brainwashing 67 00:08:05,259 --> 00:08:11,160 our children in the public school system to always vote Democrat instead of educating our kids. 68 00:08:11,759 --> 00:08:19,139 Oh, another one, Ron Paul, one of my favorites. Ron Paul made a theme of his term for the auditing 69 00:08:19,139 --> 00:08:25,860 and abolishment of the Federal Reserve. Instead, Ron Paul's long and distinguished career is over. 70 00:08:26,639 --> 00:08:34,100 The Federal Reserve still lingers. It's no fault of his. While that same Federal Reserve continues to rob 71 00:08:34,100 --> 00:08:40,919 and cheat the American people by manipulating our currency. And then, of course, countless crusaders have 72 00:08:40,919 --> 00:08:47,340 stepped forward to curtail and rein in various aspects, various tentacles of the deep state, whether 73 00:08:47,340 --> 00:08:54,639 it be the IRS or the Federal Drug Administration or the Environmental Protection Agency. But instead, 74 00:08:54,919 --> 00:09:02,139 each of these constitutionally elected advocates have faded into obscurity while the deep state agents 75 00:09:02,139 --> 00:09:09,080 accumulate more and more power and wealth and influence. Our constitutional system is an 76 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:16,799 unmitigated wreck. Our accountable elected representatives, that is, our congressman or our president, 77 00:09:17,460 --> 00:09:24,000 they were designed to do the things the deep state is doing and be accountable to us. And that is, 78 00:09:24,159 --> 00:09:31,639 make laws, execute their enforcement, and do it all within a limited, constrained field of action. 79 00:09:31,639 --> 00:09:39,919 A field of action limited and constrained by that constitution. But instead, the field of action 80 00:09:39,919 --> 00:09:47,539 for government, for the deep state, has expanded to every corner of the people's lives. And the 81 00:09:47,539 --> 00:09:57,379 bureaucrats who run the agencies are accountable to no one. We have seen this in the recent ups and downs of 82 00:09:57,379 --> 00:10:03,740 president Trump as he has been prosecuted and persecuted. And the deep state does as it pleases. 83 00:10:04,059 --> 00:10:12,960 And they're pleased when they do us. Oh, we have reached a system of unmitigated wreckage. 84 00:10:13,759 --> 00:10:19,220 And one of the many things for which we must congratulate president Trump is the way in which 85 00:10:19,220 --> 00:10:24,059 he has exposed the deep state for what it is, a vindictive self-serving state within a state. 86 00:10:24,059 --> 00:10:31,299 Nothing has brought out of the slime the dingy creatures of the swamp more than Trump's promise 87 00:10:31,299 --> 00:10:37,639 to drain the swamp. Oh, and how the swamp creatures have rallied to get rid of him, haven't 88 00:10:37,639 --> 00:10:43,059 they? Impeachment did not begin this year, did it? It was promised by Democrats even before he was 89 00:10:43,059 --> 00:10:49,399 elected. The evil bureaucrats in the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Justice Department 90 00:10:49,399 --> 00:10:55,419 had an insurance policy, right, to get rid of Trump with that fake special counsel investigation of 91 00:10:55,419 --> 00:11:00,659 Robert Mueller. Trump has been betrayed again and again by his own aides, too, who are loyal to the 92 00:11:00,659 --> 00:11:09,779 deep state and not to the Constitution. The deep state has an inertia of its own. Behind it lies 93 00:11:09,779 --> 00:11:15,679 billions of dollars, decades of tradition, and no accountability. They have power to dictate our 94 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:23,480 lives limited only by our own credulity. Oh, dear listener, the American people have brought this on 95 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:30,600 ourselves, on themselves. We have asked for more and more. We've given the government more and more and 96 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:37,279 continued in the last analysis to get less and less ourselves. When is enough enough? When will we say 97 00:11:37,279 --> 00:11:44,539 thus far and no further? When will we say we the people instead of you the state? For the deep state, 98 00:11:44,539 --> 00:11:51,659 the Constitution is a barrier to be overcome, not a document to be defended. The Constitution's 99 00:11:51,659 --> 00:11:57,899 cumbersome checks and balances, its division of government into three branches, is very inefficient 100 00:11:57,899 --> 00:12:03,899 and obsolete in their eyes. For those in the deep state who swear allegiance to the Constitution in 101 00:12:03,899 --> 00:12:10,360 their oath of office, it really is a mere formality they must perform to get to power. And as soon as their 102 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:15,639 left hand comes off the Bible and the right hand is lowered, those hands grope for your pockets and 103 00:12:15,639 --> 00:12:22,179 your throat, the Constitution be damned. For the American system to work in this day and age, 104 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:28,379 the consensus is behind closed doors, for the American system to work in this day and age, 105 00:12:28,639 --> 00:12:34,419 the Constitution must be actually subverted and undermined, streamlined and altered, all the while 106 00:12:34,419 --> 00:12:40,840 giving the appearance to the American people of its being defended against all enemies, foreign and 107 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:49,779 domestic. But the Constitution's actual domestic enemies drag it out and invoke it when it serves 108 00:12:49,779 --> 00:12:56,419 their purposes of power, possessed demons like Nancy Pelosi or Adam Schiff or Jerry Nadler, who drape 109 00:12:56,419 --> 00:13:02,279 themselves in the precious Constitution by impeaching the president, when in reality they're subverting the 110 00:13:02,279 --> 00:13:09,120 very document they pretend to invoke. This has gone on for decades. It is now coming out into the open 111 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:16,679 more and more. The deep state has been quietly making the Constitution irrelevant bureau by bureau, 112 00:13:17,279 --> 00:13:25,179 bureaucrat by bureaucrat, dollar by dollar as the years go by. And for the deep state, the people are 113 00:13:25,179 --> 00:13:32,159 foolish sheep to be led when they're not bovine cattle to be milked and slaughtered. For the deep state, 114 00:13:32,159 --> 00:13:38,879 in their hubris, they are the important ones. They are the sine qua non, those without whom there would 115 00:13:38,879 --> 00:13:47,500 be no United States of America. You and I, to them, are disposable trolls, useless eaters, mere servants of 116 00:13:47,500 --> 00:13:54,799 the state. Why, without them there would be no we the people. First assertion. That was my first 117 00:13:54,799 --> 00:14:03,340 assertion. Second assertion. A global elite has quietly betrayed the United States of America by 118 00:14:03,340 --> 00:14:09,500 selling our economy to the highest bidder, compromised our military strength by selling our technology, 119 00:14:10,100 --> 00:14:16,940 and ceding our national interests to foreign powers, and facilitated then the imposition of a world 120 00:14:16,940 --> 00:14:24,259 government upon us. That's my second assertion as to why the ground must be cleared, and we re-establish, 121 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:33,840 then, a Christian constitutional republic. Because a global elite has quietly betrayed the United States 122 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:40,659 of America by selling our economy to the highest bidder, compromised our military strength by selling 123 00:14:40,659 --> 00:14:46,840 our technology, and ceding our national interest to foreign powers, and facilitated the imposition of a 124 00:14:46,940 --> 00:14:53,960 world government upon us. Dear listener, the very idea of a global elite used to be a conspiracy theory 125 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:58,740 in the mainstream media. Remember those days? But time and experience have shown us that there is 126 00:14:58,740 --> 00:15:04,779 indeed a cabal of wealthy, power-obsessed elites who desire nothing less than to impose a worldwide 127 00:15:04,779 --> 00:15:11,320 agenda on the rest of us. It's quite apparent to anyone not under the spell of the Jedi mind tricks of 128 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:16,700 the deep state, right? These are not the enemies of the republic you're looking for. There's nothing to see 129 00:15:16,700 --> 00:15:24,720 here. Move along now, right? If you're still skeptical of this reality, if you are still a victim of 130 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:32,639 that Jedi mind trick of the deep state, I urge you to consult several mainstream books that only begin 131 00:15:32,639 --> 00:15:38,740 to peel back the veil on this truth. I have two books for you, both of them excellent, and both of them 132 00:15:38,740 --> 00:15:46,820 moderate. One is called Superclass, and the subtitle is The Global Power Elite and the World They Are 133 00:15:46,820 --> 00:15:55,240 Making. And that's written by David Rothkopf, who has moved among the global power elite. He has moved 134 00:15:55,240 --> 00:16:01,360 among them for decades, and he, in fact, makes his fortune advising them on world issues. And the second 135 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:09,000 book I would recommend to you is called Plutocrats, Plutocrats, and the subtitle is The Rise of the New 136 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:16,600 Global Super Rich and the Fall of Everyone Else. I love that title, Plutocrats, The Rise of the New 137 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:23,279 Global Super Rich and the Fall of Everyone Else. And that's written by Chrystia Freeland, who is a 138 00:16:23,279 --> 00:16:30,360 journalist based in New York and London, and she has reported on international finance issues for years. 139 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:35,679 And the subtitles of these two books say it all, don't they? There is a global power elite 140 00:16:35,679 --> 00:16:41,840 making a world in which their fortunes and power are secure. And whether you are conscious of it or 141 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:50,019 not, a new global super rich have risen on the backs of and at the expense of the rest of us. 142 00:16:50,740 --> 00:16:58,000 It is international in scope. Freeland estimates that on a planet of 7 billion people, there are perhaps 143 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:06,400 6,000 to 7,000 of the new super rich whose fortunes run into the billions and are so strategically woven 144 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:13,460 into the fabric of the world's economy that this economy must be managed and controlled on a global 145 00:17:13,460 --> 00:17:20,099 scale if it is to be stable and secure. That is, if the fortunes and interests of the new global elite 146 00:17:20,099 --> 00:17:27,759 are to be protected and secured for themselves. And consequently, governments must be influenced as 147 00:17:27,759 --> 00:17:35,240 much as possible to create policy that secures a stable and profitable outcome for them. And this 148 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:40,400 is nothing new in history, really. From the moment the first caveman stashed more mastodon steaks than he 149 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:45,460 could eat and more bearskins hides than he could wear and he moved into a more spacious cave than his 150 00:17:45,460 --> 00:17:51,480 neighbor. Men have since then tried to secure their wealth and make sure that access to it would be 151 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:58,519 there tomorrow. What is different today is that the global power elite are now doing this on a global 152 00:17:58,519 --> 00:18:06,660 scale, not just locally or even nationally. And rightly or wrongly, government has more often than not 153 00:18:06,660 --> 00:18:13,960 famously been the handmaiden of the rich. Government has traditionally been the handmaiden of the rich, 154 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:21,319 serving the interest of the rich in exchange for wealth and security themselves. That's true quid pro quall. 155 00:18:22,519 --> 00:18:28,700 Enter the American politician. If traditionally government is handmade to the rich, then the 156 00:18:28,700 --> 00:18:35,339 politicians in our government are abject whores to the rich. Rather than detail this minutely, I once 157 00:18:35,339 --> 00:18:41,460 again refer you to the man who, more than anyone else, has pointed out that the emperor has no clothes, 158 00:18:41,460 --> 00:18:47,220 and that man is author Peter Schweitzer. He's authored many books, but the ones you must read if you're 159 00:18:47,220 --> 00:18:54,680 going to understand the point I'm making are these. Number one, extortion. Peter Schweitzer's book, 160 00:18:54,799 --> 00:19:02,019 Extortion, and the subtitle is How Politicians Extract Your Money, Buy Votes, and Line Their Own Pockets. 161 00:19:02,019 --> 00:19:09,839 That's a good book. And then he wrote also, number two, Clinton Cash, the untold story of how and why foreign 162 00:19:09,839 --> 00:19:18,339 governments and businesses helped make Bill and Hillary rich. Another excellent volume. The one I want you to 163 00:19:18,339 --> 00:19:23,059 read, if you can't read all four of the ones I'm going to list for you, read this one, number three, 164 00:19:23,059 --> 00:19:31,200 Secret Empires, How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends. 165 00:19:31,900 --> 00:19:37,980 That's an excellent book. And he's totally apolitical in this. Both liberal and conservative, 166 00:19:38,259 --> 00:19:44,539 both Democrat and Republican, take the brunt of his expose. And then fourthly, his newest release, 167 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:51,880 just released last week, Profiles in Corruption, Abuse of Power by America's Progressive Elite. 168 00:19:51,880 --> 00:20:00,700 And that's just in time for the Democrat primaries. So when you introduce the two, that is the global 169 00:20:00,700 --> 00:20:06,140 elite with the American politician, you have the toxic marriage that I've mentioned above. 170 00:20:06,660 --> 00:20:13,059 That is a global elite has quietly betrayed the United States by selling our economy to the highest 171 00:20:13,059 --> 00:20:19,079 bidder, compromised our military strength by selling our technology and ceding our national 172 00:20:19,079 --> 00:20:25,079 interests to foreign powers and facilitated the imposition of a world government upon us. 173 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:33,019 Now, while many examples could be cited, let me refer you to one overarching one, and that is the 174 00:20:33,019 --> 00:20:39,480 bought and paid for lackeys of the Chinese government. Oh, yes, dear listener, stretching back to the 90s, 175 00:20:39,900 --> 00:20:47,079 when L'Oreal sold classified military technology to China, the Clintons have made millions of dollars 176 00:20:47,079 --> 00:20:53,880 from China in lucrative trade deals that compromise our own place and position in the world economy 177 00:20:53,880 --> 00:21:01,220 and all to the advantage of the Chinese. Senator Mitch McConnell is married to a lovely Chinese woman 178 00:21:01,220 --> 00:21:06,819 who, strategically and coincidentally, is related to a wealthy and well-placed Chinese family 179 00:21:06,819 --> 00:21:12,500 in the power structure of the Communist Party. And a number of business arrangements in China 180 00:21:12,500 --> 00:21:20,500 have netted the McConnells millions of dollars. And then finally, Senator Dianne, I'm sorry, excuse me, 181 00:21:20,759 --> 00:21:29,359 Senator Dianne Feinstein, chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. She had a Chinese spy on her staff 182 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:35,660 for 20 years who funneled top secret information to his Chinese handlers. And Feinstein, mysteriously, 183 00:21:36,019 --> 00:21:41,200 has made millions of dollars in Chinese investments, quote unquote, over the same period. 184 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:48,660 And these are but a few egregious examples. This incestuous marriage of government and finance 185 00:21:48,660 --> 00:21:54,200 has contributed to the corruption of our constitutional republic. Precisely because 186 00:21:54,200 --> 00:22:00,660 the modern world economy is global, the local provincial barriers must be taken down so that 187 00:22:00,660 --> 00:22:06,880 more efficient world systems can be created to secure the global wealth of the elites. And one of 188 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:11,559 those barriers, indeed, the major barrier in the eyes of the global elite is the American 189 00:22:11,559 --> 00:22:18,279 Constitution. It stands as the charter of an independent people who determine their own course 190 00:22:18,279 --> 00:22:24,940 apart from the dictates of elites who are protecting their own interests. And as long as the Constitution 191 00:22:24,940 --> 00:22:32,380 stands, America cannot be controlled. And so Trump's America first slogan, you can see, 192 00:22:32,380 --> 00:22:37,819 make America great again, all of those, right? All of that is garlic to a vampire when it reaches the 193 00:22:37,819 --> 00:22:43,180 ears of these global elites. Could you see why they hate it? It grates. They gnash their teeth because 194 00:22:43,180 --> 00:22:48,559 it threatens to upset the sweetheart deals they've made with American politicians and the neat arrangements 195 00:22:48,559 --> 00:22:55,900 being made all over the globe, including the United Nations. If indeed, global wealth must be managed by 196 00:22:55,900 --> 00:23:03,180 global government, then the United Nations stands ready to hand as a good beginning to form a world 197 00:23:03,180 --> 00:23:09,480 system. But it's only infant in its stages. It must be nursed while the independence of America must be 198 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:16,180 starved. These are the real reasons the deep state is trying to get rid of Trump and why he is so hated. 199 00:23:16,900 --> 00:23:24,420 He threatens their soft, cushy vultures' nests in the swamp where globalism is being nursed like a deformed 200 00:23:24,420 --> 00:23:31,279 beast on the breast of Mordor. Everyone else who entered the swamp did so, expecting to be enriched 201 00:23:31,279 --> 00:23:37,519 in exchange for favorable votes and legislation, whether it compromised the people or not, right? 202 00:23:38,460 --> 00:23:46,420 And so ironically, all of this hand-wringing and the crocodile tears shed over quid pro quo 203 00:23:46,420 --> 00:23:53,359 in Trump's impeachment is laughable, since quid pro quo is the operating principle of the swamp. 204 00:23:53,359 --> 00:24:00,720 Trump, this for that. I will give you this if you give me that. Trump is beginning to expose the 205 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:07,480 betrayal, yea, the treasonous behavior of those in the deep state who took their oath of office 206 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:14,160 cynically, with their fingers crossed behind their backs. Trump has disrupted the global timeline of 207 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:20,440 the elites who are nevertheless determined to complete the political and economic structure 208 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:27,299 which will secure their interests into the foreseeable future. So make no mistake about 209 00:24:27,299 --> 00:24:33,480 this, dear listener, a world government is coming. It is inevitable. And what we must decide as free 210 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:40,519 Americans is this, of what character and nature will that world government be? And the most logical, 211 00:24:40,519 --> 00:24:45,880 I submit to you, the most biblical answer is that of a Congress of Christian constitutional 212 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:51,920 republics spread across the world. Now, that's a big agenda, and I'll fill it out in greater detail 213 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:56,740 more in the future. But it demands, first and foremost, securing a Christian constitutional 214 00:24:56,740 --> 00:25:03,099 republic for ourselves. Then it requires that we foster and encourage free peoples with their own 215 00:25:03,099 --> 00:25:07,720 Christian constitution with its own distinctive features for their own culture and traditions. 216 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:15,980 Ah, but that secure Christian constitution will not be securely planted until the ugly briars, 217 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:20,500 the thorns, and the thistles of our present constitutional system are cleared away, 218 00:25:20,859 --> 00:25:29,599 destroyed root and branch. And that must be seen clearly by us as a first step. Many recognize this 219 00:25:29,599 --> 00:25:34,680 already, and that day is coming. But we have not yet asked, what will take its place? 220 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:40,940 What will take its place? To this question we turn in future broadcasts. I hope to flesh out 221 00:25:40,940 --> 00:25:47,480 this picture in greater detail. But until then, dear listener, keep in mind our Lord's words for the 222 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:52,960 millennia. It's a strength. He said, all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 223 00:25:53,759 --> 00:26:00,059 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the 224 00:26:00,059 --> 00:26:05,059 Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, 225 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:10,400 I am with you always to the end of the age. I'll leave you with those words and invite you to listen 226 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:17,619 next week. And this has been, once again, Pastor David Bass at New Geneva Orthodox Presbyterian 227 00:26:17,619 --> 00:26:24,079 Church in Idaho Falls. New Geneva meets for holy worship on Sunday at 10 a.m. I invite you to join us. 228 00:26:24,079 --> 00:26:29,259 Maybe you've been considering crossing a threshold. We're preaching through the book of Revelation 229 00:26:29,259 --> 00:26:36,420 right now. Come and visit us on Sunday at 10 a.m. at 101 4th Street on the corner of 4th and Boulevard. 230 00:26:36,839 --> 00:26:40,119 And you can call us for more information or give me some feedback on what you've heard 231 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:49,480 at area code 208-523-0196. That's area code 208-523-0196.
