Greetings, this is Pastor David Bass at New Geneva Orthodox Presbyterian Church with a moment of truth where we challenge you to think through an important issue of life and faith. And today, if we are to prosecute a new American revolution against the deep state, as we have patiently laid out before a candid world over the last few weeks, what will take its place?

Over the course of four broadcasts, I have assiduously taken us point by point through the Declaration of Independence, showing how the 29 particular complaints against King George III, Parliament and the British people bear an uncanny similarity to those of our generation against the deep state of America. And what we concluded was that while times and faces change, the modus operandi of tyranny remains predictably the same, because the nature goals and ambitions of tyranny have been consistent throughout history.

It is always Satan's trifecta, power, pride and plunder, power, pride and plunder, power to rule and destroy, pride that exalts itself above heaven and plunder to indulge every whim and luxury. The deep state's been doing all of these things to us. In order to achieve these ends, all tyrants from Pharaoh to Caesar to King George to our present deep state have acted consistently. And if you would know the consistencies that we found in the Declaration and have not followed us with them, perhaps I urge you to review those broadcasts, which are archived on our website, omnispotestas.org.

Going four years back, omnispotestas.org is our website for these radio programs. Let me spell that for you, omnispotestas, p-o-t-e-s-t-a-s, p-o-t-e-s-t-a-s, p-o-t-e-s-t-a-s, p-o-t-e-s-t-a-s.org. That's Latin for all authority. All authority has been granted to Jesus Christ. Our website, omnispotestas, o-m-n-i-s-t-a-s, p-o-t-e-s-t-a-s-t-a-s-t-a-s-t-a-s.org.

Well, let's assume for a moment that we're able to utterly destroy the deep state. Oh, and how we are to do that exactly, we will take up in a future broadcast. We will do this step by step, destroying, dismantling the deep states of America. Let's say we are able to extricate the deep state root and branch from the soil of American life and culture. What would we put in its place?

Before we decide that, however, there are several misconceptions that we must dispel first. And number one, we must always assert that it is impossible to reestablish the constitutional republic we once knew. Oh, I hate to say it, but it is impossible to reestablish the constitutional republic that we once knew. This was one of the most difficult conclusions that I've ever struggled to reconcile with my passion. I love the Constitution of the United States of America.

Many of you know that. It is the single most glorious and liberating political document ever composed, and I've spent years teaching it. I taught its principles and its biblical roots. And it must be then the seminal document for any future constitution. But that being said, the Constitution and what has become known of its spawn, its evil spawn, that is the corrupt and debauched whore of Babylon that we now know as the American deep state, the two are so inextricably intertwined that they cannot be separated.

The tumor of the deep state is so organically a part of the vital organs of the Constitution and its system that to try and cut it out would kill the patient. Can you remove the head of one conjoined twins, right, without killing them both? No, you can't. Neither can you remove the head of the deep state without killing the body. Now, I have dealt with this in previous broadcasts.

I've shown that history is replete with examples of civilizations that have strayed so far from the principles and values that made them great to begin with, excuse me, that there is no reforming them so far have they strayed. And all that remains for such is to be utterly destroyed and a new thing built on their ashes. And our study of the apocalypse provides two such examples. Historically, Israel and its temple system.

Much of Revelation is indeed about the destruction of Israel and its temple system and what arose in its ashes, which was, of course, God's chosen nation, the church, which is now the universal people of God, not just an ethnic nation like Israel. And then is, excuse me, Revelation also shows us how Rome has been destroyed. The great Roman Republic sank into the tyranny of the Roman Empire, beginning with Julius Caesar, and then gradually was destroyed. What was built on its ashes? The Roman Empire was the church and Western civilization, as we now know it, or Christendom.

So, it is my argument that the United States of America has reached such a point of no return. Tyranny and corruption have so completely enveloped us that there is no going back. We cannot find a path back to constitutional ways because the bridge has been destroyed, the compass lost, and our guide has been stabbed in the back. What is left for us is the complete destruction of the United States constitutional system, as we have known it, and a new thing constructed on its ashes. Secondly, another thing we must assert is that we cannot just wait and see to build something until after we destroy the deep state.

No, we cannot wait and see. History abhors a vacuum. It will fill with tyranny whatever we destroy if we do not have a plan in place before we raise the rotten barn of the deep state. You can't replace something with nothing. Random revolution brings inevitable anarchy.

Once again, history is replete with examples of what happens when a revolution is launched without regard to what will replace what is taken down. Exhibit A is 18th century France. The aristocracy had for so long suppressed the peasants in France that when the lid finally blew in 1789, launching the French Revolution, there was no lack of pent-up resentment and rage, that's for sure, and that sustained the overthrow of the French nobility via the guillotine and what has become known as the reign of terror. But no careful thought was given to what would replace the monarchical form of government until after the bloodbath had started.

The terminus of thoughtless terror is always tyranny. And that's what happened in the French Revolution, leading right to Napoleon. The same could be said of revolutions in places like Haiti and Venezuela. They were violent, impetuous revolutions that soon issued in dictatorial regimes. The founding fathers, on the other hand, had the model of colonial legislatures, which they brought right into independence following the revolution.

And additionally, the first constitution of the new nation was already under draft before the war was over. We need to do the same thing. The Articles of Confederation were first drafted by Benjamin Franklin in 1777. Not many people know this. And then revised by Delegate Silas Dean from Connecticut.

And then given a final draft by Delegate John Dickinson of Pennsylvania. And he had started his own version as early as 1776. So, we see that the American Revolution was not as liable to get out of control as the French Revolution because of a plan and a skeletal framework of government institutions already in place. Now, we need the same thing for when the treasonous deep state of America is finally brought to the surface and into the light and then brought to justice and then completely destroyed from the face of the earth.

What will take the place then of the once beloved constitutional republic of our beloved constitutional republic that is now an institutional rat pack, right? Not a constitutional republic, but an institutional rat pack is what it is now. Now, what must replace the American constitutional republic, I submit to you, is an explicit Christian constitutional republic. Yes, a Christian constitutional republic. I've said it.

What, you may say? All of that drama for this? All you've done, pastor, you may say, all you've done is put Christian in front of constitutional republic. Wasn't this in our founding? That implicitly we were a Christian constitutional republic?

You've made that argument yourself before. What's the difference, you might say? Well, the difference, let me assert with you, the difference is in the explicit self-conscious nature of the case. Now, I have come to see that one of the major deficiencies of our Constitution Constitution is precisely that it does not frankly acknowledge who is sovereign over the nations, and that, of course, is Jesus Christ. Psalm 2 says this about Jesus.

The God of the Bible says for Jesus, who is now reigning, he says, As for me, I have set my king on Zion, my holy hill. And, of course, that king is the Lord Jesus, which the Father has established. Psalm 2 goes on to say, The Lord said to me, you are my son. Today I have begotten you. Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage and the ends of the earth your possession.

And that includes the United States of America, right? Psalm 2 goes on to say, Yes, and this is what we should be doing by acknowledging the Lord Jesus Christ then as sovereign over these United States, which the original Constitution did not do. But in every other respect, besides the assertions of the Constitution, in every other respect, our history, the United States history, does just this, right? For example, the rallying cry of the revolution among the common man was, No king but Jesus. And then our Constitution, as John Adams would say, Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.

It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other, unquote. And, of course, that morality and that religion was Christian biblical morality and religion. That was assumed. So, on and on we could go, but there is ample testimony to the enthronement of King Jesus in the hearts of America in her early history, except for the Constitution. Implicitly, yes.

And I've spent decades articulating and unfolding the biblical basis for the Constitution. I look back, it's been almost 20 years now. But the founders, for a number of reasons, fell short of this one crucial step. Now, while I do not have the time at this juncture to lay out those reasons why the founders did not explicitly make the Constitution a Christian document, One resource that does a credible job of doing this is a book called Political Polytheism. And the subtitle is The Myth of Pluralism.

And it's written by Gary North, a Christian economist. And he's done a very good job of laying out The Myth of Pluralism in his book, Political Polytheism. I refer you to this. Now, it's not as if the founders didn't have fit examples to be explicit in the Constitution. They had fit examples to follow in crowning Christ as the sovereign in the Constitution explicitly.

Every colonial charter began with such an acknowledgment of God as sovereign. Let me give you the example of the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut. Just a brief snippet from the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut in the preamble. And it reads, And well knowing where a people are gathered together, the word of God requires that to maintain the peace and union of such a people, there should be an orderly, indecent government established according to God. To maintain and preserve the liberty and purity of the gospel of our Lord Jesus, which we now profess.

So on he goes, on the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut go in establishing the authority of God and the Lord Jesus Christ in their very Constitution. And our Founding Fathers could have done much the same thing if they had been so disposed to do. But once again, the reasons why they didn't, I'll refer you to Gary North and his book, Political Polytheism. That's been an inherent problem in America from the very foundation. All of the colonial charters and constitutions had language similar to that of Connecticut.

Christ was king of the colonies. And it is time to return to this founding truth. And it's time to acknowledge that truth formally in our Constitution. We owe it to a candid world, as Jefferson puts it. And we owe it to ourselves as well.

God blesses an open, explicit confession of himself. He does. I know this personally. You know this personally. If you have confessed him as your Lord and Savior.

Well, we need to do this in every realm, including that of politics, culture, and society. God blesses an open, explicit confession of himself personally and corporately, not just a silent, implicit one. Jesus himself says, Everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies me before men, I will also deny before my Father who is in heaven. Unquote.

And we must do this individually and corporately as a nation. Confess Jesus Christ in the very words of our Constitution. Even then, behold how God has blessed America, hasn't he? And he has blessed her Constitution in the past, even with this muted expression of his Lordship. Think what an open confession of him will elicit as we defeat the deep state, uproot it, destroy it, cleanse the country of it, and reestablish, rearticulate a Christian constitutional republic.

How the Lord will bless. While there are several things then we might do to improve the actual body of the Constitution, and that remains to be undertaken as well. And briefly, I would just refer you to one resource, just one resource for today, and that would be Mark Levin's book, The Liberty Amendments. And the subtitle there is Restoring the American Republic. I love Mark Levin and his books.

He has many great insights into the Constitution and has articulated its substance and meaning so clearly over the years. And I love his books, and I love his books, I've got all of his books, but the one particularly pertinent to this topic is the Liberty Amendments, Restoring the American Republic. And I refer you to it. Now, while he suggests several things we might do to improve the actual body of the Constitution, the articles of the Constitution, I want to focus on how we might actually acknowledge Christ in a Christian Constitution. Three things.

Number one, simply alter the preamble to the Constitution to read Christ the King in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, etc., etc., instead of we the people. And this would be an acknowledgment from the outset, from the very opening, that Christ is sovereign. It is a misnomer, really, of the highest order when we objectively consider these things to assert that the people are untethered from the providential will of their creator. We the people, no, we indeed are dependent upon our creator. And that we are able to ordain and establish anything, I'm sorry, that's not the case, much less a solemn Constitution.

So, Christ the King instead of we the people in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, etc., etc. Number two, the oath of office should be sworn in the name of God and Jesus Christ. The oath of office, now that we find in the Constitution, in Article 2, Section 1, and Paragraph 9. And it should be sworn in the name of God and Jesus Christ. It should say something like, I do solemnly swear in the name of God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, that I will faithfully execute the office of president, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., excuse me.

Solem oaths. They're not much regarded in today's world, are they? Solemn oaths. And that's evidenced by these oaths, violation on a regular basis by so many who swear them in our government. Oh, for many they are but mere formalities to be repeated and then quickly forgotten while they get on with a real business at hand of government.

That is, screwball the American people and enrich me and my family, Joe Biden. Exhibit A. But God will hold them to account, both in this world and the next. Oh, and then how much more when sworn in God's name. Throughout history, covenants and treaties, and the Constitution is then, at the end of the day, a covenant.

It is a covenant. Throughout history, covenants were sworn on pain of death to be kept to the letter in the name of the God of that land. And it is time we acknowledge the God of this land. Treachery, treason, or callous disregard of the covenant resulted in a violation of the oath to that covenant. And it brought swift justice from God and man.

We see this throughout the Bible. And God has not changed. Oaths ensure fidelity to the covenant. Or else. Or else.

Swift justice from God and man. The Bible is replete with examples. And even the generic oath of the American Constitution, and it is generic because it swears in no one's name, even the generic oath of the American Constitution, God will requite justice for its violation. Oh, if we live long enough, and I hope to live long enough to see criminals like Bill and Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, George Bush, Dianne Feinstein, James Comey, Peter Strzok, John Brennan, James Clapper, all of them, dozens of others, I hope to see them given a swift trial and then shot at dawn.

They have all violated their oaths to faithfully execute their offices and defend the Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic. In fact, these that I have named for you personify enemies domestic. The oaths sworn must invoke the transcendent sanctions of Almighty God upon the swearer. That's the purpose of an oath. Positive sanctions for the faithful, negative sanctions for the unfaithful.

Those demon hypocrites who put their hands on a Bible as a symbol of sanctions and solemnity should also have a symbol of blood to show the consequences for the violation of these sanctions. Oh, the justice swearing them in, I would suggest, should be holding a loaded 357 magnum as a sign, indeed, that there indeed are consequences for the violation of your oath. I hope to live long enough to see true justice done for those deep staters who have betrayed America. Well, thirdly then, what we also need is a national creed.

A national creed or doctrinal statement, perhaps of some kind, should be crafted to give substance to what the Constitution means by Christian. That can be so easily diluted and diverted. We should have a substantial definition of what it means to be Christian, or else we descend into equivocation and self-definition, right, and ambiguity. No, it should be specific enough, this creed or doctrinal statement should be specific enough to exclude all of those who do not know or espouse the Trinitarian God of the Bible.

But such a statement, such a creed should be general enough to include all who do know him, but may differ on lesser essential doctrines, like the nature of the Lord's Supper or baptism or the form of church government. Christians have generally disagreed on those. They're not unessential, they are essential doctrines, but indeed they have been seen as not big enough to diverge in unity. So, a good place to start might be the Apostles' Creed or the Nicene Creed or the seven great ecumenical creeds.

All of these have essential things of the Christian faith without which we cannot be called Christians, but they do allow for differences in other areas. The details could be worked out in good time, but the point is, there must be a national consensus as to what Christian in Christian Constitutional Republic means. Well, although I've come to this after years of struggle, prayer, and hard-fought thought, I realize that many of you may be far from me on this. Far from me yet on this. Yet.

But I remember all of the objections which bubble up from the head and the heart, right, when you consider these things. Christians should be involved in trying to change human government. One of the objections, right? Christians shouldn't be involved in trying to change human government and society. After all, we're here to win souls and wait for the rapture, right?

We must not soil the garments of the gospel with a dirty business of politics, right? Jesus said, after all, my kingdom is not of this world. Another objection is a corollary to this, which is the Jedi mind trick of separation of church and state, right? All the secularist has to do is wave this stick at us. And we cower in fear and say, please, Mr. Secularist, don't hit me with the separation of church and state.

Stick, right? And consequently, we've ceded entire generations to abortion and gender confusion and poverty and misery. And then, of course, there's the objection. You can't govern rebellious pagans with Christian principles and expect them to accept a Christian worldview. That simply isn't practical, no realistic.

It's hard enough to do that in the church with supposed Christians, right? All of these objections I'll answer in days to come. And I hope to persuade you of not only an explicitly Christian constitutional republic, but a worldwide congress of Christian constitutional republics. It's biblical, dear listener. It's historical and it's inevitable.

You can't stop us. Whatever a sovereign God has in store for the United States in the near future, and it ain't pretty and might even be catastrophic for the long view. Nevertheless, the church will be there to advance the kingdom of God on the ashes. We will take further dominion. However, dark and gloomy the prospects may seem to be today.

And you, O Christian, all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me, Jesus says. Go and make disciples of all night. He's going to be with us to the end of the age. The gates of hell shall not prevail against us. So, you, O Christian, can either depend upon these precious promises and go with us or go put on your deep hands and go hide in a corner and pee yourselves in fear and wait for the rapture that will never come.

But once we have learned our lesson again, and we've had to do this throughout history, the church has. Once we've learned our lesson, Christ will take further dominion of his inheritance through this crisis and every crisis to come. But once we have learned that lesson, all the apocalypse demonstrates that this is Christ's precise modus operandi for inheriting all of creation. And he has. He's doing that even now.

So don't be discouraged. Don't be fearful. God is judging the world to further make it his own. He says in Psalm 82, Arise, O God, judge the earth, for you shall inherit all the nations. That includes the United States of America.
