1 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:09,400 Greetings, this is Pastor David Bass at New Geneva Orthodox Presbyterian Church 2 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:14,759 with a moment of truth where we challenge you to think through an important issue of life and faith. 3 00:00:14,839 --> 00:00:22,679 And today, I want to ask you, why is a worldwide Congress of Christian Constitutional Republics inevitable? 4 00:00:22,679 --> 00:00:30,679 For the last few months, we have been insisting that minimally we in the United States of America 5 00:00:30,679 --> 00:00:37,479 have the right and the intersection of circumstances to initiate a second American revolution 6 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:44,179 against a tyranny that rivals that of King George III over the American colonies in 1776. 7 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,140 We have just as much right. 8 00:00:47,140 --> 00:00:53,719 I compared the circumstances then to the circumstances now and the variety of 28 different complaints 9 00:00:53,719 --> 00:01:03,520 and they mirror to an uncanny extent the tyrannies of King George III that the deep state puts over us. 10 00:01:04,060 --> 00:01:08,620 And to prove this, I spent four weeks combing the Declaration of Independence 11 00:01:08,620 --> 00:01:13,859 through each and every particular complaint that Thomas Jefferson painstakingly listed. 12 00:01:14,579 --> 00:01:18,579 And I did it to prove why the colonies were justified in separating from England 13 00:01:18,579 --> 00:01:24,400 and why we are justified in separating from the deep state of America in our own day. 14 00:01:24,799 --> 00:01:28,640 And as we did this, we discovered that the substance of tyranny never changes, 15 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,140 though the face of tyranny does over the passing of the centuries. 16 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:37,459 We also made our appeal to Christian magistrates to step forward 17 00:01:37,459 --> 00:01:40,579 and work conscientiously towards that end 18 00:01:40,579 --> 00:01:47,060 and appealed as well to the people to support these magistrates as they do so. 19 00:01:47,060 --> 00:01:53,620 We also sketched what a Christian constitutional republic might look like in rudimentary form. 20 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,560 And then lastly, we noted how none of this is remotely possible 21 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:03,780 unless and until there is a great awakening to the things of God in America, 22 00:02:03,939 --> 00:02:08,199 a spiritual awakening, revival and reformation. 23 00:02:08,340 --> 00:02:13,680 These are the absolute preconditions for making a Christian constitutional republic work 24 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,539 in the United States of America. 25 00:02:15,539 --> 00:02:24,280 Well, okay, laboring for a Christian constitutional republic in the United States of America is one thing, 26 00:02:24,780 --> 00:02:26,800 but achieving it worldwide? 27 00:02:27,479 --> 00:02:28,560 Well, that's quite another. 28 00:02:29,300 --> 00:02:34,099 What makes anyone think for a moment that this is possible or even desirable? 29 00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:35,699 There are many Christians who would say, 30 00:02:35,819 --> 00:02:38,939 we shouldn't even be laboring for something like this. 31 00:02:38,939 --> 00:02:46,680 But let me say right off the bat that before we go any further with those objections, 32 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,500 number one, and there's four things I want to share with you. 33 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,379 Number one, there is going to be a world government, 34 00:02:53,759 --> 00:02:55,620 so it might as well be Christian. 35 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:57,180 That's my point. 36 00:02:57,439 --> 00:02:59,360 There is going to be a world government, 37 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,580 so it might as well be Christian. 38 00:03:04,300 --> 00:03:06,939 Christian economist Gary North, he's one of my favorites. 39 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:08,680 Read him, anything he writes. 40 00:03:09,479 --> 00:03:13,080 Gary North has made this simple but salient point decades ago, 41 00:03:13,300 --> 00:03:16,659 and he's being proven correct in part A, 42 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,740 that is there is going to be a world government, 43 00:03:18,740 --> 00:03:23,379 but will he be proven right in B, that it will be Christian? 44 00:03:24,180 --> 00:03:27,419 It used to be dismissed, the idea of a world government, 45 00:03:27,900 --> 00:03:31,020 dismissed condescendingly as a conspiracy theory 46 00:03:31,020 --> 00:03:36,280 that forces and powers were working to make a world government, 47 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,939 but not any longer, right? 48 00:03:39,039 --> 00:03:41,020 We see the evidence around it so clearly. 49 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:47,539 Worldwide rule and domination has always been the bauble 50 00:03:47,539 --> 00:03:49,979 that's dangled before men's eyes. 51 00:03:50,740 --> 00:03:53,139 What did Satan say to our Lord in tempting him? 52 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,580 He said, to you, I will give all this authority and their glory, 53 00:03:57,740 --> 00:03:59,039 that is the kingdoms of the world, 54 00:03:59,460 --> 00:04:03,020 for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whom I will. 55 00:04:03,500 --> 00:04:06,819 If you then will worship me, it will all be yours. 56 00:04:06,819 --> 00:04:11,000 Oh, what a bauble to dangle before the eyes of the power hungry. 57 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:16,420 And only recently has that deceptive, satanic promise 58 00:04:16,420 --> 00:04:18,819 come within reach of fulfillment. 59 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,439 We see all around us greedy, power-grasping hands 60 00:04:23,439 --> 00:04:28,019 are very close to seizing the levers of world power. 61 00:04:28,879 --> 00:04:35,160 It has, in part, been driven by what has become a world economy. 62 00:04:35,420 --> 00:04:36,980 I've treated of this in the past. 63 00:04:36,980 --> 00:04:40,639 As has always been the case, the rich and the powerful seek 64 00:04:40,639 --> 00:04:44,120 for ways to secure their wealth and power for tomorrow 65 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,319 in an uncertain world. 66 00:04:46,939 --> 00:04:49,800 And government has always been the means by which this is achieved. 67 00:04:50,019 --> 00:04:53,139 Politicians are indeed handmaidens to the rich, aren't they? 68 00:04:53,639 --> 00:04:57,439 And, of course, those in government have always been rewarded handsomely 69 00:04:57,439 --> 00:05:00,199 for passing the laws and wielding the sword 70 00:05:00,199 --> 00:05:03,120 on behalf of the interests of the rich. 71 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:07,819 Now, while this was done locally in the early days of civilization, 72 00:05:08,199 --> 00:05:12,819 over the millennia, wealth and power have grown to nations. 73 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,779 Nations begin to protect their wealthy and their privileged 74 00:05:17,779 --> 00:05:20,199 with politicians and government. 75 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,740 And within the last few decades, the interests of the rich 76 00:05:23,740 --> 00:05:28,300 and the powerful transcend mere nations to encompass the world. 77 00:05:28,300 --> 00:05:33,779 Buzzwords like world economy or transnational corporation. 78 00:05:34,100 --> 00:05:37,240 These are a standard feature of our lexicon today, aren't they? 79 00:05:37,879 --> 00:05:40,740 Now, I have tweeted of this in greater detail 80 00:05:40,740 --> 00:05:44,459 in my program of February 2nd, 2020. 81 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,959 And it is cataloged on our website. 82 00:05:47,779 --> 00:05:50,060 February 2nd, 2020. 83 00:05:50,060 --> 00:05:54,540 Look up that date on our website, omnisprotestas.org. 84 00:05:55,000 --> 00:06:02,399 O-M-N-I-S dash P-O-T-E-S-T-A-S dot org. 85 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,899 That's omnisprotestas.org. 86 00:06:04,980 --> 00:06:06,560 That's Latin for all authority. 87 00:06:07,139 --> 00:06:08,920 All authority has been given to Christ. 88 00:06:09,019 --> 00:06:12,300 And we have a website that deals with that authority of Christ. 89 00:06:12,300 --> 00:06:17,879 And the lesson that I am referencing from February 2nd, 2020 90 00:06:17,879 --> 00:06:21,160 is entitled, A Christian Millennium. 91 00:06:21,660 --> 00:06:25,800 The deep state has corrupted our secular constitutional republic 92 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,779 and must be destroyed. 93 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:33,500 And there I chronicle for you why there is indeed the threat of 94 00:06:33,500 --> 00:06:36,199 and that we're on the brink of a world government. 95 00:06:36,939 --> 00:06:41,279 And in that lesson, I give you further documentation and resources 96 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,740 that there's some very good reading that I've included for you 97 00:06:43,740 --> 00:06:44,899 to document all these things. 98 00:06:45,699 --> 00:06:49,240 Once again, you can access these things and more at our website, 99 00:06:49,660 --> 00:06:51,199 omnisprotestas.org. 100 00:06:51,259 --> 00:06:56,660 O-M-N-I-S dash P-O-T-E-S-T-A-S dot org. 101 00:06:57,139 --> 00:07:01,060 Well, suffice it to say that a world government is being fashioned, 102 00:07:01,379 --> 00:07:05,079 dear listener, but it's being fashioned without input from the church, 103 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:06,540 from us. 104 00:07:07,100 --> 00:07:10,019 No one's asked me what I think of world government. 105 00:07:10,019 --> 00:07:14,920 The nations of the world have made treaties and formed ever larger, 106 00:07:15,079 --> 00:07:20,720 more complex governing bodies in order to secure the order now in place. 107 00:07:21,339 --> 00:07:25,819 No encroachment, no intruders like you and me, the common man. 108 00:07:26,439 --> 00:07:27,860 The nations of the world. 109 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,459 Yes, the European Union is a good example. 110 00:07:30,839 --> 00:07:31,920 It has a common currency. 111 00:07:32,319 --> 00:07:34,620 It's one visible example of this phenomenon, 112 00:07:34,620 --> 00:07:37,500 and it has some history already to show for it, 113 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,199 aspiring towards world governments. 114 00:07:39,199 --> 00:07:44,720 And although the European Union has met resistance in the last few decades, 115 00:07:44,819 --> 00:07:46,399 especially from Brexit, for example, 116 00:07:46,939 --> 00:07:50,220 as world government growing pains begin to surface, 117 00:07:50,899 --> 00:07:55,259 but I don't think in the long run this will stop the momentum towards world government. 118 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:56,600 There's too much at stake. 119 00:07:56,959 --> 00:07:59,180 The powers that be are insisting, indeed, 120 00:07:59,579 --> 00:08:02,600 that there be a world government to protect their interests. 121 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:09,980 And, of course, the most high-profile target of anti-one-worlders is the United Nations, 122 00:08:10,199 --> 00:08:12,240 that old bugaboo, the United Nations. 123 00:08:12,819 --> 00:08:16,600 America out of the UN and the UN out of America, right? 124 00:08:16,699 --> 00:08:19,439 That's been the mantra of conservatives now, 125 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,500 constitutional conservatives, for decades. 126 00:08:22,500 --> 00:08:29,220 And no one has fooled anyone, but perhaps the naive, brainwashed Pollyanna, 127 00:08:29,579 --> 00:08:33,980 that the goal of the United Nations has been anything except one world government. 128 00:08:34,500 --> 00:08:39,259 At least in the long run, piece by piece, increment by increment, 129 00:08:39,759 --> 00:08:43,639 the Fabian strategy of eating the elephant in small bites, 130 00:08:43,860 --> 00:08:45,700 rather than swallowing it whole, 131 00:08:46,259 --> 00:08:50,299 has been pretty much successful in attempting to build a world government. 132 00:08:50,299 --> 00:08:54,240 I used to hear the Jedi mind trick of, 133 00:08:54,759 --> 00:08:57,500 this is not the new world order you're looking for, right? 134 00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:58,480 Not here. 135 00:08:58,919 --> 00:08:59,899 Nothing to see here. 136 00:09:00,100 --> 00:09:01,500 With that soothing assurance, 137 00:09:02,100 --> 00:09:06,220 oh, the United Nations is not meant as a world government, silly boy. 138 00:09:06,860 --> 00:09:10,559 No, the United Nations is only designed to bring world peace. 139 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:12,860 Sounds so good, doesn't it? 140 00:09:13,259 --> 00:09:16,779 But now, the mask has begun to slip, 141 00:09:16,779 --> 00:09:18,820 and it has slipped sufficiently. 142 00:09:18,820 --> 00:09:23,340 And I wonder if that's not a health mask that's beginning to slip. 143 00:09:23,620 --> 00:09:28,080 Seeing the dominance of the World Health Organization of the United Nations 144 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,580 in this present pandemic, 145 00:09:29,899 --> 00:09:34,620 that mask has slipped sufficiently that we see with institutions 146 00:09:34,620 --> 00:09:36,659 like the World Court of the Hag, 147 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,759 that can't wait to put Donald Trump on trial, 148 00:09:40,759 --> 00:09:43,340 or the World Health Organization, 149 00:09:43,340 --> 00:09:49,759 which has set the standard for dealing with this current pandemic, 150 00:09:50,019 --> 00:09:50,980 or UNICEF, 151 00:09:51,279 --> 00:09:55,220 which is the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund. 152 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,480 That sounds so world peaceful, doesn't it? 153 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:04,860 But it's actually a bullying technique to get nations to do what they want, 154 00:10:04,940 --> 00:10:06,419 what the United Nations wants. 155 00:10:06,419 --> 00:10:07,500 And it's just a front. 156 00:10:07,500 --> 00:10:12,019 Well, with the inception of institutions like these, 157 00:10:12,139 --> 00:10:15,960 we see that the United Nations ambitions to be functionally, 158 00:10:16,159 --> 00:10:17,779 for now, a world government, 159 00:10:17,919 --> 00:10:21,620 and depending upon other institutions or unions, 160 00:10:21,620 --> 00:10:23,279 which develop in reality. 161 00:10:23,279 --> 00:10:25,340 See, so, the United Nations. 162 00:10:26,100 --> 00:10:31,159 Now, when the church has offered an alternative to world government, 163 00:10:31,460 --> 00:10:34,340 it's always been one of resistance to it, right? 164 00:10:35,159 --> 00:10:40,600 To perhaps deny or decentralize rather than aggrandize. 165 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,000 That rather than to build a world government, 166 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,860 it's always been to decentralize and to deny the world, 167 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:50,899 the opportunity for world government. 168 00:10:50,899 --> 00:10:55,559 But mostly, the church has been silent and indifferent to these things. 169 00:10:56,379 --> 00:10:59,940 Jesus' response to the Roman procurator Pontius Pilate at his trial 170 00:10:59,940 --> 00:11:02,700 has become the byword for the evangelical church. 171 00:11:03,340 --> 00:11:04,259 Jesus told Pilate, 172 00:11:04,399 --> 00:11:05,940 My kingdom is not of this world. 173 00:11:06,500 --> 00:11:08,320 If my kingdom were of this world, 174 00:11:08,620 --> 00:11:10,019 my servants would have been fighting 175 00:11:10,019 --> 00:11:12,639 that I might not be delivered over to the Jews, 176 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,879 but my kingdom is not from the world, unquote. 177 00:11:15,879 --> 00:11:20,200 But, of course, this encomium, 178 00:11:20,799 --> 00:11:22,039 this cliche, 179 00:11:22,799 --> 00:11:27,460 is not speaking of the final goal and dominion of his kingdom. 180 00:11:27,759 --> 00:11:29,740 Rather, what Jesus was talking about 181 00:11:29,740 --> 00:11:32,700 was the source and origin of that kingdom. 182 00:11:34,159 --> 00:11:36,279 Christ's kingdom is sourced in heaven. 183 00:11:37,059 --> 00:11:39,460 And Christ's power, his purpose, his mission, 184 00:11:39,799 --> 00:11:41,019 were from there. 185 00:11:41,019 --> 00:11:45,080 There he was saving a people for heaven and earth at the cross 186 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,460 and at the tomb when he was raised from the dead. 187 00:11:47,980 --> 00:11:50,700 There he was saving a people for heaven and earth. 188 00:11:51,340 --> 00:11:53,500 And these people would be co-heirs with him. 189 00:11:53,639 --> 00:11:57,480 We, the church, co-heirs with Christ of all creation. 190 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,460 All of the nations, peoples, lands, and realms of creation would be his. 191 00:12:03,340 --> 00:12:05,700 Zechariah puts it this way in speaking of the Messiah. 192 00:12:05,700 --> 00:12:08,019 He shall speak peace to the nations. 193 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,759 His rule shall be from sea to sea 194 00:12:10,759 --> 00:12:13,139 and from the river to the ends of the earth. 195 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:14,860 Zechariah 9, verse 10. 196 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,080 Consequently, we Christians have every motive 197 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,759 to insist that the world government 198 00:12:21,759 --> 00:12:25,799 that is on the horizon be an explicitly Christian one. 199 00:12:26,019 --> 00:12:27,919 And that brings me then to my second point. 200 00:12:28,100 --> 00:12:31,019 Number two, we Christians, we, the church, 201 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,679 should self-consciously direct our impact. 202 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,000 But we must become more and more aware of who we are 203 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,139 and of the influence and the power that we actually have 204 00:12:41,139 --> 00:12:43,940 and that Christ is wielding in the world even now. 205 00:12:44,340 --> 00:12:49,159 Because Christianity right now is the largest religion in the world. 206 00:12:49,500 --> 00:12:51,980 When you take all of the denominations, 207 00:12:52,500 --> 00:12:55,019 all of the professing Christians of the world, 208 00:12:55,159 --> 00:13:01,179 we number 2.5 billion, 33% of the world's population. 209 00:13:01,379 --> 00:13:02,500 No one even comes close. 210 00:13:02,500 --> 00:13:05,259 Islam is gaining in adherents. 211 00:13:05,379 --> 00:13:09,500 They are presently at 1.8 billion adherents throughout the world, 212 00:13:10,100 --> 00:13:12,840 24% of the world's population. 213 00:13:13,399 --> 00:13:16,679 But the Christian faith is still the most numerous 214 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:17,879 and it's still growing. 215 00:13:19,100 --> 00:13:23,460 Christ promised his parable of the mustard seed, 216 00:13:23,620 --> 00:13:26,899 the little mustard seed of which Jesus spoke. 217 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,659 It's taking its place now as the largest of plants. 218 00:13:29,659 --> 00:13:33,399 Jesus said, with what can we compare the kingdom of God 219 00:13:33,399 --> 00:13:35,840 or what parable shall we use for it? 220 00:13:36,179 --> 00:13:38,200 It is like a grain of mustard seed, 221 00:13:38,279 --> 00:13:42,559 which when sown on the ground is the smallest of all the seeds on earth. 222 00:13:42,799 --> 00:13:44,980 Yet when it is sown, 223 00:13:45,580 --> 00:13:49,220 it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden plants 224 00:13:49,220 --> 00:13:51,059 and puts out large branches 225 00:13:51,059 --> 00:13:55,659 so that the birds of the year can make nests in its shade. 226 00:13:55,659 --> 00:13:57,879 That's the parable of the mustard seed. 227 00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:58,659 And lo and behold, 228 00:13:59,240 --> 00:13:59,539 see, 229 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:00,399 look, 230 00:14:00,700 --> 00:14:01,159 behold, 231 00:14:01,500 --> 00:14:03,080 on every continent of the world, 232 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,159 every island of the world, 233 00:14:05,419 --> 00:14:07,139 the church can be found. 234 00:14:07,399 --> 00:14:08,120 We're everywhere. 235 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:13,379 And the church seriously underestimates its power and influence. 236 00:14:14,179 --> 00:14:17,860 We could actually determine the course of government around the world 237 00:14:17,860 --> 00:14:19,000 if we chose to, 238 00:14:19,059 --> 00:14:19,960 if we rose up, 239 00:14:20,039 --> 00:14:21,419 if we realize who we are. 240 00:14:21,419 --> 00:14:22,539 But presently, 241 00:14:22,580 --> 00:14:22,860 however, 242 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,539 we are so divided and fragmented 243 00:14:25,539 --> 00:14:30,039 that we cannot affect the outcome in our present state. 244 00:14:30,500 --> 00:14:32,340 With all of the denominations, 245 00:14:32,539 --> 00:14:35,679 all of the sects of Christianity around the world, 246 00:14:35,899 --> 00:14:37,580 we are divided and fragmented. 247 00:14:38,299 --> 00:14:39,919 Our unity in Christ, 248 00:14:40,299 --> 00:14:41,960 the whole Christ church, 249 00:14:42,379 --> 00:14:44,220 is united in the body of Christ. 250 00:14:44,899 --> 00:14:45,179 Indeed, 251 00:14:45,259 --> 00:14:46,720 that is the true reality, 252 00:14:46,980 --> 00:14:47,179 despite, 253 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:48,399 excuse me, 254 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,179 what we see around us 255 00:14:50,179 --> 00:14:52,700 in all the denominations and sects of Christianity. 256 00:14:53,299 --> 00:14:56,379 Those of us in Christ are certainly united to him. 257 00:14:56,919 --> 00:14:59,980 And our unity is often lost 258 00:14:59,980 --> 00:15:03,360 in our doctrinal and denominational divisions. 259 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:04,759 And this, 260 00:15:04,899 --> 00:15:05,100 of course, 261 00:15:05,159 --> 00:15:08,259 is in addition to the misunderstanding I mentioned previously, 262 00:15:08,259 --> 00:15:12,820 that the separation between church and state is absolute, 263 00:15:12,820 --> 00:15:13,860 and that we, 264 00:15:13,980 --> 00:15:14,399 the church, 265 00:15:14,759 --> 00:15:17,100 as J. Vernon McGee used to say, 266 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,159 you may remember that fine old Baptist preacher, 267 00:15:20,299 --> 00:15:21,000 I loved him, 268 00:15:21,379 --> 00:15:22,299 from the 70s, 269 00:15:22,559 --> 00:15:23,480 who nevertheless, 270 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,860 I would disagree with him here on this, 271 00:15:26,279 --> 00:15:27,759 he used to say with great effect 272 00:15:27,759 --> 00:15:31,000 that the church should not soil the garments of the gospel 273 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:31,840 with politics, 274 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:32,340 culture, 275 00:15:32,419 --> 00:15:33,100 and society. 276 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,000 That's not the case at all, 277 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:36,320 really, 278 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:36,720 truly. 279 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:38,559 And the powers that be, 280 00:15:38,700 --> 00:15:40,700 they are content with this state of affairs, 281 00:15:40,779 --> 00:15:41,159 of course. 282 00:15:41,159 --> 00:15:42,139 In fact, 283 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:43,919 they do everything in their own power 284 00:15:43,919 --> 00:15:46,559 to keep us distracted and disunited. 285 00:15:46,700 --> 00:15:47,879 This serves their purposes 286 00:15:47,879 --> 00:15:50,659 of uniting the world under a pagan banner. 287 00:15:52,019 --> 00:15:53,320 Remember what Hopper, 288 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:54,039 the grasshopper, 289 00:15:54,100 --> 00:15:56,600 said to his cohorts about the ants, 290 00:15:56,759 --> 00:15:56,980 right, 291 00:15:57,100 --> 00:15:58,720 from the movie A Bug's Life. 292 00:15:58,779 --> 00:16:00,720 I've watched that with my kids many times. 293 00:16:01,539 --> 00:16:03,940 And the grasshoppers, 294 00:16:04,039 --> 00:16:04,299 of course, 295 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,039 had the ants in subjection 296 00:16:06,039 --> 00:16:07,419 and in deception too. 297 00:16:07,419 --> 00:16:07,740 Well, 298 00:16:07,879 --> 00:16:12,320 Hopper says to his fellow grasshoppers at one point, 299 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:12,659 and he says, 300 00:16:12,759 --> 00:16:14,620 you let one ant stand up to us 301 00:16:14,620 --> 00:16:16,279 and they all might stand up. 302 00:16:16,679 --> 00:16:20,019 Those punny little ants outnumber us 100 to one. 303 00:16:20,580 --> 00:16:22,179 And if they ever figure that out, 304 00:16:22,580 --> 00:16:24,159 there goes our way of life. 305 00:16:24,899 --> 00:16:25,460 Hopper, 306 00:16:25,620 --> 00:16:25,860 right? 307 00:16:25,860 --> 00:16:29,059 And that's exactly what the world order, 308 00:16:29,179 --> 00:16:30,179 the new world order, 309 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,220 is saying behind closed doors about us, 310 00:16:33,299 --> 00:16:34,299 about us Christians. 311 00:16:35,179 --> 00:16:36,539 The new world order, 312 00:16:36,620 --> 00:16:38,000 as it has begun to develop 313 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,059 in taking over a world government, 314 00:16:40,139 --> 00:16:41,840 has to keep us in line 315 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:43,120 and it has to keep us ignorant. 316 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,419 If the church ever figured out 317 00:16:45,419 --> 00:16:47,980 that we outnumber them a million or so to one, 318 00:16:48,340 --> 00:16:50,000 there goes their way of life. 319 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,440 So at some point, 320 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,279 and I would maintain this strongly, 321 00:16:54,399 --> 00:16:55,240 I'm very optimistic 322 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,799 about where the church is going to be 323 00:16:57,799 --> 00:16:59,659 and what it's going to do and achieve. 324 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,019 At some point in the next 100, 325 00:17:02,580 --> 00:17:04,200 maybe a thousand years, 326 00:17:04,279 --> 00:17:04,700 who knows, 327 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,240 as we become more and more self-conscious 328 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,359 of our collective power and influence 329 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,619 in the unity of our Savior, 330 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:12,680 Jesus Christ, 331 00:17:13,079 --> 00:17:14,039 you will see, 332 00:17:14,299 --> 00:17:16,480 we will begin to focus our energies 333 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,660 and will as his church, 334 00:17:18,779 --> 00:17:20,180 as Christ's church, 335 00:17:20,599 --> 00:17:22,339 in establishing a just 336 00:17:22,339 --> 00:17:24,640 and equitable world government. 337 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:26,619 That indeed will be the case. 338 00:17:27,380 --> 00:17:28,099 Well, number three, 339 00:17:28,339 --> 00:17:31,059 according then to that line of thinking, 340 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:33,900 let me share with you point three. 341 00:17:34,660 --> 00:17:35,019 That is, 342 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,200 we must not forfeit our heritage, 343 00:17:37,559 -->
