1 00:00:04,719 --> 00:00:10,119 Greetings, this is Pastor David Bass at New Geneva Orthodox Presbyterian Church 2 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:16,039 with a moment of truth where we challenge you to think through an important issue of life and 3 00:00:16,039 --> 00:00:25,460 faith. Today, how does the Declaration of Independence speak to the necessity of abolishing 4 00:00:25,460 --> 00:00:32,359 our present form of government, which is destructive of our rights, and instituting 5 00:00:32,359 --> 00:00:38,119 a new form of government? The Declaration of Independence does indeed speak to this. 6 00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:45,799 Now, over the last few broadcasts, we have been arguing for the necessity of establishing a 7 00:00:45,799 --> 00:00:54,119 worldwide government composed of a Congress of Christian constitutional republics. It's time 8 00:00:54,119 --> 00:01:01,500 for a new vision. We see the world already moving ever closer to a world government. 9 00:01:01,500 --> 00:01:09,239 There will be a world government in the future, the near future, but that world government is being 10 00:01:09,239 --> 00:01:19,079 shaped by forces totally unaffected by either the people of God or the church. Rather, we see it 11 00:01:19,079 --> 00:01:27,299 being shaped by a global elite, and I have covered this, of course, in messages previous, and I urge you 12 00:01:27,299 --> 00:01:34,680 to consult the reality of the situation. We are seeing this world government being shaped by a global elite 13 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:43,680 composed of the super-rich and their lackeys, that is, the politicians that currently inhabit Washington, 14 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:53,500 D.C., like cockroaches. These are the super-politicians of the nations. And what is required immediately 15 00:01:53,500 --> 00:02:03,420 is a worldwide awakening to these facts, and then an immediate spiritual awakening to Christ and his 16 00:02:03,420 --> 00:02:12,360 gospel. This is what is needed immediately. And once this happens, and only when this happens as a 17 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:19,680 precondition will the godless, and I would say even demonic formation of the present world government, 18 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:27,039 only then will that be altered in its trajectory. This is now our only alternative, dear listener, 19 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:35,680 and you're blind if you do not see it. Wake up! To deny this basic fact, this basic set of situations 20 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:43,599 is to continue to live in the matrix, if we could say that. And you must pretend that we are free when we 21 00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:52,539 are in reality, having our wealth, our health, and our happiness, yea, our very lives sucked dry for the ends 22 00:02:52,539 --> 00:03:00,000 and the well-being of the global elite. Once again, I urge you to consult on my previous message on this, 23 00:03:00,319 --> 00:03:04,919 which gives you some details and gives you some resources to consult yourself, to think through 24 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:12,240 this independently. But this reality is now apparent to those with eyes to see. But sometimes history does 25 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:18,860 help us focus our thoughts. And in this regard, the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration of 26 00:03:18,860 --> 00:03:25,199 Independence, written by our founding father, Thomas Jefferson, at the behest of the Continental 27 00:03:25,199 --> 00:03:33,800 Congress in 1776. The Declaration of Independence can indeed set the context for our own day in 2020. 28 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:44,659 Then, in 1776, Jefferson and the founders hoped to justify independence from Britain on the basis of 29 00:03:44,659 --> 00:03:53,800 commonly held, commonly received understandings of God-given rights, and then, given those rights, 30 00:03:53,979 --> 00:03:59,699 the consequent purposes of government. Indeed, government does have a purpose in regards to those 31 00:03:59,699 --> 00:04:08,300 rights. And Thomas Jefferson, as he composed this eloquent statement, the Declaration of Independence, 32 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:15,699 Jefferson strove to portray that the colonies, the American colonies, represented justice and liberty, 33 00:04:16,319 --> 00:04:24,819 while the old decaying crown and parliament of Britain represented injustice and tyranny. Thomas 34 00:04:24,819 --> 00:04:33,160 Jefferson labored practically the whole month of June in 1776, composing the Declaration of Independence 35 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:43,959 to which he had been commissioned by the Continental Congress. And loath then to advance himself and take 36 00:04:43,959 --> 00:04:51,740 primacy of place, Jefferson at first eschewed writing the Declaration of Independence. But John Adams, 37 00:04:51,740 --> 00:05:04,220 who eagerly wanted to do it himself, told Jefferson that, indeed, he said, a Virginian must take the lead in 38 00:05:04,220 --> 00:05:10,699 this matter. Oh, yes. A Virginian had to take the lead in this matter of writing a Declaration of 39 00:05:10,699 --> 00:05:18,660 Independence. And so Thomas Jefferson, in the heat of June, spent almost the entire month at a small desk 40 00:05:18,660 --> 00:05:22,019 composing the Declaration of Independence, composing the Declaration of Independence. Indeed, he was 41 00:05:22,019 --> 00:05:29,000 the right man to do it, though, in the end. Even though Adams wanted eagerly to write it himself, 42 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:37,079 it was Jefferson who had the skills and the genius to compose it. I love what John F. Kennedy said 43 00:05:37,079 --> 00:05:45,879 about Jefferson. He was speaking on April 29th of 1962, John F. Kennedy. He was speaking at the White 44 00:05:45,879 --> 00:05:55,720 House at a dinner hosting Nobel Prize winners, American Nobel Prize winners, all these men of 45 00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:03,540 genius. And Kennedy said this, and I quote, I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, 46 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:10,019 of human knowledge that has ever been gathered together at the White House, with a possible 47 00:06:10,019 --> 00:06:18,759 exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone. Unquote. I love that quote. Kennedy had a deep 48 00:06:18,759 --> 00:06:24,699 respect, the genius of Thomas Jefferson, and we all should as well. He is the one who composed the 49 00:06:24,699 --> 00:06:31,860 Declaration of Independence, indeed gave the American Continental Congress, and we can say probably the 50 00:06:31,860 --> 00:06:43,579 entire American people he gave, Jefferson did give voice to the soaring spirit of America as she took her 51 00:06:43,579 --> 00:06:52,279 place among the nations of the world to establish the first constitutional republic. And I say deep 52 00:06:52,279 --> 00:07:01,240 respect for it, love for it, in continual trajectory with it. What we need to do is maybe add a bit more 53 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:08,480 of polish and perfection to it, not that we, and I'm not alone in this, I'm not the first to declare 54 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:14,139 this, but to perfect it perhaps a little bit more, to tweak it a little bit more by making of it a 55 00:07:14,139 --> 00:07:23,120 Christian constitutional republic. But back in 1776, at the composing of the Declaration, after briefly 56 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:33,319 articulating the received understandings of the day of enlightenment liberty, and once again Jefferson was 57 00:07:33,319 --> 00:07:44,800 not original in this, he was indeed re-articulating many developed and understood concepts of liberty. 58 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:53,620 The Declaration then, after articulating these, the Declaration catalogued the extensive transgressions of 59 00:07:53,620 --> 00:08:02,120 those liberties committed by Crown and Parliament in Britain. And he did articulate these in excruciating 60 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:10,100 detail, over 30 particulars. And we shall descend into the proverbial weeds of the Declaration. 61 00:08:10,100 --> 00:08:18,839 And not many people do this. Few people articulate these 30 particulars of transgressions of liberty. 62 00:08:19,379 --> 00:08:27,300 So many of us quote the opening paragraphs. Children in grade school and in high school memorize 63 00:08:27,300 --> 00:08:34,700 generally the first few paragraphs of the Declaration, but not much is articulated beyond it. 64 00:08:34,700 --> 00:08:41,480 And we do this today, though. We descended to the weeds of the Declaration of the Particulars of the 65 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:49,620 Transgressions of Liberty because the nasty details of tyranny change little over the generations. 66 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:57,919 Ah, since the dawn of man. Brutal armies behave like brutes in every century. And monarchs in every age 67 00:08:57,919 --> 00:09:04,679 attempt to crush their subjects who challenge their authority. That's happening today in America. 68 00:09:04,700 --> 00:09:12,440 with the deep state. And in our courts, too. Judges with a vested interest in the establishment 69 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:21,240 tyranny. All these kinds of judges continue to rule in favor of it and against the people. Oh, witness in 70 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:31,080 the headlines even this last week. The case then of Roger Stone. Oh, talk about the courts. We'll talk more 71 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:38,879 about the courts here in a few moments. But first, I aim to demonstrate that the Declaration of Independence 72 00:09:38,879 --> 00:09:47,059 has, ironically, come full circle. Declaration of Independence has come full circle to be as applicable 73 00:09:47,059 --> 00:09:54,240 to the very government it proposed to establish as a free, independent, constitutional republic. We are no 74 00:09:54,240 --> 00:10:04,539 longer a free, independent, constitutional republic. We indeed now are a tyrannized, dependent, deep 75 00:10:04,539 --> 00:10:13,240 state. Oh, and if we indeed are going to restore ourselves as now a Christian constitutional republic, 76 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:21,940 we need to recognize who and what we are, where from which we operate. And all we need to do is compare 77 00:10:21,940 --> 00:10:28,039 the abuses of the mother country, England, with those of the homeland. That is the deep state of the 78 00:10:28,039 --> 00:10:36,000 United States of America, which has, like a wolf in sheep's clothing, taken the place of our constitutional 79 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:43,899 relic. Well, what are those abuses? Oh, let's descend into them, shall we, with a survey. And you might 80 00:10:43,899 --> 00:10:49,860 have to take a shower after we're done when you see the abuses of liberty, the dirty abuses of liberty 81 00:10:49,860 --> 00:10:55,860 committed by the deep state in contemporary America. Well, what are those abuses in comparison 82 00:10:55,860 --> 00:11:03,799 with the abuses of king and crown of England in the 18th century? Well, let's survey the 83 00:11:03,799 --> 00:11:10,240 Declaration of Independence, first of all. Okay. And I begin with paragraph one, where Jefferson writes, 84 00:11:10,899 --> 00:11:18,159 when in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political 85 00:11:18,159 --> 00:11:24,000 bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, 86 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:31,279 the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them 87 00:11:31,279 --> 00:11:37,399 a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes 88 00:11:37,399 --> 00:11:44,460 which impel them to that separation. Oh, yes. The prologue to the Declaration of Independence, 89 00:11:44,919 --> 00:11:54,500 stating its purpose, why it is here being stated. So, in such a large and frankly audacious undertaking, 90 00:11:54,500 --> 00:12:00,179 like setting up a free constitutional republic like the United States of America, 91 00:12:00,820 --> 00:12:07,179 hiving off the most powerful empire of the day, that is the British Empire, one had better be prepared 92 00:12:07,179 --> 00:12:15,200 to give an account of the why and the wherefore of this separation and must be prepared to give that 93 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:24,620 account to the rest of the world. And make no mistake that though a global statement was articulated here, 94 00:12:25,019 --> 00:12:34,480 the Americans had France in particular in mind because France stood ready to aid, indeed, a credible 95 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:46,960 colonial stance, a credible establishment of a nation on these shores, but needed to see that it was indeed credible. 96 00:12:47,639 --> 00:12:59,019 And so, in the prologue, Jefferson attempted then to introduce why the Americas were a credible choice 97 00:12:59,019 --> 00:13:07,200 for a particular nation. Okay? And then, secondly, in the second paragraph, we see the prime directive of government 98 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:12,320 articulated these famous words. Paragraph number two of the Declaration of Independence. 99 00:13:12,580 --> 00:13:18,899 We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator 100 00:13:18,899 --> 00:13:25,700 with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, 101 00:13:25,700 --> 00:13:33,059 that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the 102 00:13:33,059 --> 00:13:39,159 consent of the governed, that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, 103 00:13:39,799 --> 00:13:46,360 it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, 104 00:13:46,919 --> 00:13:52,259 laying its foundation on such principles, organizing its powers in such form, 105 00:13:52,259 --> 00:14:00,080 as to them shall seem most likely to affect their safety and happiness. Unquote. The second paragraph 106 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:07,019 of the Declaration of Independence. Oh, brothers and sisters, what an eloquent statement of the prime 107 00:14:07,019 --> 00:14:14,840 directive of government. The second paragraph here, quoted so often, cited so often, alluded to so often, 108 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:20,320 is indeed the prime directive of government, articulated eloquently by Thomas Jefferson. 109 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:25,600 Oh, that inspired portion of the Declaration of Independence, if you will, that everyone loves to 110 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:31,779 quote, generations of American schoolchildren used to memorize. They don't much anymore, do they? 111 00:14:31,919 --> 00:14:39,279 Deliberately by the deep state and their government schools, their government schools. And of course, 112 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:44,799 this second paragraph lays out three fundamental truths of the human condition. Number one, 113 00:14:44,799 --> 00:14:52,100 we are all created equal. And that was revolutionary in its own day. Indeed, many protested to the, 114 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:59,519 even amongst those in the Continental Congress protested to the notion that all men are created 115 00:14:59,519 --> 00:15:06,759 equal. But that was a revolutionary and biblical principle. Number two, we are all endowed with certain 116 00:15:06,759 --> 00:15:22,340 unalienable rights. We have unalienable rights. Rights that cannot be taken away. Rights that are not 117 00:15:22,340 --> 00:15:29,200 granted by government, but indeed are granted by number three, the third truth. That is, these truths 118 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:36,779 are intrinsic to us as creatures by virtue of our creator. They're God-given rights. They can't be 119 00:15:36,779 --> 00:15:43,620 taken away. The right to free speech, the right to practice of our religion, the right to arm ourselves. 120 00:15:43,799 --> 00:15:50,340 Indeed, all of things, these things are intrinsic to us by virtue of creator and cannot be taken away 121 00:15:50,340 --> 00:15:59,000 except by tyranny, except by demonic tyranny, which is indeed the purpose of the state these days. Is it 122 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:08,460 not the deep state to take away all of those rights? Our equality, too, in mind by the Founding Fathers, 123 00:16:08,460 --> 00:16:15,139 that equality is that equality under the law, together with an equality of opportunity, 124 00:16:15,139 --> 00:16:24,279 not an equality of outcomes. That's socialism. That's communism to guarantee outcomes for all to 125 00:16:24,279 --> 00:16:29,919 have health care. No, that's a guarantee of outcome. That's socialism. That's communism. That's not a God 126 00:16:29,919 --> 00:16:37,659 given right to have health care. It's not a God given right to have a guaranteed income. It's not a God 127 00:16:37,659 --> 00:16:44,700 given right to have a house. Those are all things that you achieve in various stages of 128 00:16:44,700 --> 00:16:52,240 wealth that you achieve on your own, by your own efforts and your own labors, which are not equal. 129 00:16:52,620 --> 00:17:01,980 God has not granted equal gifts and equal talents to all men. And so there are not going to be equal 130 00:17:01,980 --> 00:17:09,660 outcomes by definition. But all men are indeed guaranteed equality under the law to have fair 131 00:17:09,660 --> 00:17:17,359 and impartial justice administered under the law. That is our equality. The unalienable rights we have 132 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:24,220 are really too numerous to mention, but they're summarized by Jefferson as life, liberty, and the 133 00:17:24,220 --> 00:17:31,740 pursuit of happiness. And the creator, of course, is the Christian God of the Bible, not Allah or Buddha 134 00:17:31,740 --> 00:17:40,779 or some amorphous being of deism. No, but indeed what the founders had in mind, uh, when life, 135 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:46,880 liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are guaranteed by the creator, that creator is the Christian God 136 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:51,779 explicitly named in all the charters and the constitutions of the American colonies. 137 00:17:51,779 --> 00:18:00,339 Well, given these three assumed truths, the prime directive of government is to suborn and undermine 138 00:18:00,339 --> 00:18:07,180 those rights. No, that's the deep state's charter. No, according to the Declaration of Independence, 139 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:12,619 the prime directive of government is to secure these rights, not to suborn them, not to undermine 140 00:18:12,619 --> 00:18:20,220 them. Indeed, not to take them away. Here is a truly revolutionary idea of the day. Government is 141 00:18:20,220 --> 00:18:26,640 meant to be the servant of the people, not the master. Oh, that's the old, old story where government 142 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:31,680 is the master. And that is what the deep state is trying to bring us back to, where their lies and 143 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:41,019 their deception and the hissing promises of the snake, right? Free healthcare, free housing, free 144 00:18:41,019 --> 00:18:47,779 education. That's the hiss of the serpent to impose tyranny, reimpose the tyranny of old. 145 00:18:47,779 --> 00:18:54,559 Here to four, the people had existed to serve the king, the monarch, if you will, the royalty, 146 00:18:54,700 --> 00:19:02,339 the tyrant. But the founding fathers and their reading of history, that is the Bible, deduced 147 00:19:02,339 --> 00:19:09,240 quite the opposite. They say, indeed, men institute governments, and this is how it was in the 148 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:14,559 beginning. This is how it was in the history of Israel. Men institute governments to secure the 149 00:19:14,559 --> 00:19:20,240 rights of the people and the various and sundry powers of the state, the various and sundry powers 150 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:28,259 of government are set up and they continue at the pleasure of those governed. That is by the consent 151 00:19:28,259 --> 00:19:35,539 of the governed. I submit to you in our day, the consent of the governed is being removed from the 152 00:19:35,539 --> 00:19:41,119 deep state, from the government. It's not a constitutional republic. It is indeed a government 153 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:46,980 that we have in Washington, D.C., but it is not a constitutional republic. It is a tyranny. 154 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:52,660 And the consent of the government is indeed being removed. And when that consent is withdrawn, 155 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:59,079 governments change. And it's about time our government changed. This is especially true, 156 00:19:59,220 --> 00:20:05,599 as Jefferson puts it, when, and I quote him, any form of government becomes destructive of these ends. 157 00:20:05,599 --> 00:20:11,539 That is when they no longer secure the people's rights, but destroy the people's rights instead. 158 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:16,660 In such a case, the people can damn well do as they please in setting up a new government. 159 00:20:17,180 --> 00:20:23,319 That was their right in the 18th century, and it is ours too. Our present form of government, 160 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:30,220 a deep state run for the rights of a few and the enrichment of a global elite. This form of government 161 00:20:30,220 --> 00:20:35,859 we have presently is no longer a constitutional republic. It is a deep state, and it has become 162 00:20:35,859 --> 00:20:43,359 destructive of these ends. That is, our God-given, unalienable rights. And consequently, it is our 163 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:50,119 right in this generation. It is your right. It is our necessity to institute a new government. 164 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:57,519 Well, then there is also a prudent qualification that we have in the Declaration of Independence, 165 00:20:57,519 --> 00:21:06,640 a prudent qualification. In paragraph 3, Jefferson says, prudence indeed will dictate that governments 166 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:12,640 long established should not be changed for light and transient causes. And accordingly, 167 00:21:12,900 --> 00:21:18,960 all experience has shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer while evils are sufferable 168 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:24,960 than to right themselves by abolishing the forms which they are accustomed. That's paragraph 3. 169 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:34,359 And it indeed is a prudent qualification, right? And Jefferson was very intentional here. In order 170 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:43,000 to distance the American Revolution from the rising hysterical radical revolution that was brewing in 171 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:51,299 France, indeed tyranny, monarchical tyranny present in France was beginning to be resisted. And that 172 00:21:51,299 --> 00:21:59,880 revolution would boil up and bubble over, of course, in 1789. But the founding fathers could also see from 173 00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:06,940 afar that this radical revolution was brewing in France. Radical, though. It was rife with violence and 174 00:22:06,940 --> 00:22:15,960 bloodshed. And, of course, then, with the advent of the guillotine would become the reign of terror, 175 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:23,019 right? That revolution would become the reign of terror. And in order to distance the American Revolution from this 176 00:22:23,019 --> 00:22:30,960 irrational, hysterical, radical revolution in France, Jefferson underlines the patient endurance of the colonists. 177 00:22:31,740 --> 00:22:36,960 And, in effect, he's saying it's not as if we're being rash and impetuous. We put up with evils. We appealed 178 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:42,980 peacefully for redress of grievances. We waited patiently for change to come about, but it was all for naught, right? 179 00:22:42,980 --> 00:22:49,019 That's effectively what he's saying. They waited until the pattern of tyranny was unmistakable. It was 180 00:22:49,019 --> 00:22:57,160 clear to any intelligent mind who looked unbiasedly at the facts. The same is true today. Anybody who 181 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:04,539 has eyes in their head, who is not brainwashed, who has not taken the blue pill, if we can use that 182 00:23:04,539 --> 00:23:12,319 analogy, but has rather taken the red pill and is now awake. Oh, you woke culture, right, of the 183 00:23:12,319 --> 00:23:19,940 progressives. The so-called woke culture is joke culture. You're asleep. You're dead to reality and 184 00:23:19,940 --> 00:23:24,920 truth. You're dead to what it means to be a constitutional republic. You're not woke. You're 185 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:31,460 joke. Take the red pill and awaken and see, indeed, that you are rather being oppressed than liberated. 186 00:23:31,460 --> 00:23:37,960 The deep state is indeed tyrannizing you, and you deserve what you get if you pursue your progressive 187 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:46,220 politics. No, we have waited until the pattern of tyranny is unmistakable, and it indeed is unmistakable 188 00:23:46,220 --> 00:23:53,859 in the deep state, and it's clear to any intelligent mind who looks unbiasedly at the facts, even as our 189 00:23:53,859 --> 00:24:01,440 founding fathers looked unbiasedly at the facts in their day. Well, then in paragraph four, we have 190 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:13,539 seen the undeniable circumstances of the people, paragraph four. Let me read that for you. Jefferson 191 00:24:13,539 --> 00:24:21,579 says, but when a long train of abuses and usurpations pursuing invariably the same object 192 00:24:21,579 --> 00:24:29,819 evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty 193 00:24:29,819 --> 00:24:37,140 to throw off such government and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been 194 00:24:37,140 --> 00:24:43,740 the patient sufferance of these colonies, and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter 195 00:24:43,740 --> 00:24:50,279 their former systems of government. The history of the present king of Great Britain is a history of 196 00:24:50,279 --> 00:24:58,079 repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute 197 00:24:58,079 --> 00:25:04,619 tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world. 198 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:11,759 Oh, brothers and sisters, dear listener, we indeed have the undeniable circumstances of the people, 199 00:25:12,079 --> 00:25:17,900 and I'm going to have to continue those undeniable circumstances then next week when we look 200 00:25:17,900 --> 00:25:23,460 further at the Declaration of Independence and how it applies, in particular those abuses, 201 00:25:23,460 --> 00:25:32,160 to our own circumstances, why it is time for us indeed to establish a Christian constitutional republic here 202 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:39,720 in the United States of America, because the former system of government, as Jefferson puts it, 203 00:25:39,779 --> 00:25:47,140 has evaporated, and the wolves in sheep's clothing, the deep state and those who occupy the deep state, 204 00:25:47,140 --> 00:25:54,819 or the swamp, as it's also known, indeed need to be replaced and drained and eliminated. 205 00:25:55,579 --> 00:26:01,480 And we'll continue then our march through, our look for, through the Declaration of Independence, 206 00:26:01,700 --> 00:26:08,240 comparing the situation there with the situation today, and why the Declaration of Independence 207 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,519 is as relevant today as it was in the 18th century. 208 00:26:11,519 --> 00:26:16,140 Well, this has been Pastor David Bass at New Geneva Orthodox Presbyterian Church 209 00:26:16,140 --> 00:26:21,619 in Idaho Falls, and I urge you then to join us for worship on Sundays. 210 00:26:21,759 --> 00:26:27,059 We're going through the Book of Revelation right now, and invite you to join us for that study. 211 00:26:27,700 --> 00:26:33,859 We begin worship at 10 a.m. on Sunday at 101 4th Street on the corner of 4th and Boulevard, 212 00:26:33,859 --> 00:26:43,579 and you can call us for some feedback, perhaps, or some input at area code 208-523-0196. 213 00:26:43,700 --> 00:26:49,279 Call us at area code 208-523-0196.
