1
00:00:04,750 --> 00:00:10,689
Greetings, this is Pastor David Bass at New Geneva Orthodox Presbyterian Church with the

2
00:00:10,689 --> 00:00:15,349
Moment of Truth, where we challenge you to think through an important issue of life and faith.

3
00:00:15,970 --> 00:00:26,350
And today, I want to say how delighted I am to be here with you at News Talk 1079. This is my

4
00:00:26,350 --> 00:00:34,810
inaugural broadcast on News Talk 1079. And what a delight it is. Very refreshing to be here

5
00:00:34,810 --> 00:00:42,590
with Neil and the gang and all the host of programs that are here on News Talk 1079.

6
00:00:43,390 --> 00:00:51,390
So I look forward to a long and fruitful relationship, not only then with radio station

7
00:00:51,390 --> 00:00:59,570
News Talk 1079, if I haven't said that enough yet, but also hopefully with a fruitful and long-lasting

8
00:00:59,570 --> 00:01:06,030
relationship with you all, too, as you come over and hear our broadcast, our sermons,

9
00:01:06,930 --> 00:01:13,609
which we hope then to blend a little bit of politics and religion because they don't exist in separate

10
00:01:13,609 --> 00:01:20,650
spheres, but they do overlap. We can distinguish between politics and religion, but they do

11
00:01:20,650 --> 00:01:27,430
interact. They do intersect, don't they? And it's our purpose then to unfold as best we can

12
00:01:27,430 --> 00:01:34,909
the way of God in the way of politics as well and the way of culture and society too. And so today,

13
00:01:35,170 --> 00:01:44,150
I would like to begin this inaugural broadcast with nine propositions, eight propositions, excuse me,

14
00:01:44,150 --> 00:01:50,930
eight propositions for economy's sake, eight propositions for a Christian millennium.

15
00:01:51,930 --> 00:02:02,430
Yes, this world, this country is on a course of collision with socialism and frankly, outright

16
00:02:02,430 --> 00:02:11,550
Marxism, communism. And the American system, as it is presently constituted, is not going to last.

17
00:02:11,550 --> 00:02:17,129
And you don't have to be a prophet or the son of a prophet to see that coming. Indeed, with the

18
00:02:17,129 --> 00:02:24,789
chaos around us, with the medical tyranny that is quickly descending on us and the threat then of

19
00:02:24,789 --> 00:02:32,669
Antifa and Black Lives Matter in bringing socialism and communism to the United States of America, we can

20
00:02:32,669 --> 00:02:41,969
safely say that the system we now live under is destined then for a final consummation. I'm not

21
00:02:41,969 --> 00:02:46,430
sure what that's going to look like. I'm not sure what the collapse, the fall, the destruction will

22
00:02:46,430 --> 00:02:54,949
be, but it is coming. And in many respects, it's overdue. The deep state, which has so infected

23
00:02:54,949 --> 00:03:03,530
our constitutional republic, must be destroyed. It must be rooted out and weeded out. And like a

24
00:03:03,530 --> 00:03:10,810
metastasized cancer that has swept through the body of the victim, indeed, that is what has happened

25
00:03:10,810 --> 00:03:19,770
with the deep state, such that to extricate the deep state is also to kill the patient, to cut off the

26
00:03:19,770 --> 00:03:27,629
head of a conjoined twin, which the deep state is indeed like a conjoined twin, cutting off one head

27
00:03:27,629 --> 00:03:34,689
will kill the other as well. And this is the state to which we have come with the United States of

28
00:03:34,689 --> 00:03:42,030
America. And so what I propose to build on the ashes of what will burn and fall is a Christian

29
00:03:42,030 --> 00:03:50,590
constitutional republic. From whence will come a Congress of Christian constitutional republics,

30
00:03:50,590 --> 00:03:57,530
which will indeed last for a Christian millennium. Indeed, the Bible tells us that this is what

31
00:03:57,530 --> 00:04:04,569
Christ will bring to fruition, at least at some point in the redemptive history of our world.

32
00:04:05,430 --> 00:04:11,409
So eight propositions for a Christian millennium. Number one, there will be a world government.

33
00:04:11,409 --> 00:04:20,649
Ah, this is so true. Anyone who resists it is resisting the inevitable. There will be a world

34
00:04:20,649 --> 00:04:28,750
government. And it might as well be, and indeed ought to be, Christian, that world government. One of my

35
00:04:28,750 --> 00:04:33,829
favorite commentators, one of my favorite theologians, Gary North, has said this, and it

36
00:04:33,829 --> 00:04:40,269
really caught my attention. Gary North is a Christian economist, and he has also broadened out then to

37
00:04:40,269 --> 00:04:47,850
examine the world and theology, and has a pretty comprehensive worldview. And in that worldview,

38
00:04:48,009 --> 00:04:53,509
in his Christian worldview, he states, there will be a world government, and it might as well be,

39
00:04:53,589 --> 00:05:00,250
and indeed ought to be, Christian. Even as Isaiah says, there will indeed be a king of all nations.

40
00:05:00,629 --> 00:05:06,410
Isaiah chapter 9, verses 6 and 7 says this. We usually hear this around Christmas, but we need to hear

41
00:05:06,410 --> 00:05:14,490
this all year round. Isaiah 9 says, for to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government

42
00:05:14,490 --> 00:05:21,689
shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting

43
00:05:21,689 --> 00:05:28,829
Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government, and of peace there will be no end.

44
00:05:28,829 --> 00:05:35,930
Hear that again, dear listener. Increase of his government. That is happening now. Of the increase

45
00:05:35,930 --> 00:05:41,189
of his government, and of peace there will be no end. On the throne of David, and over his kingdom,

46
00:05:41,370 --> 00:05:47,550
to establish it, and to uphold it with justice, and with righteousness, from this time forth, and

47
00:05:47,550 --> 00:05:54,889
forevermore, the zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this. Isaiah 9 tells us, indeed, there will be a

48
00:05:54,889 --> 00:06:01,550
world government, and it might as well be, and indeed ought to be Christian, led by Christ. Our

49
00:06:01,550 --> 00:06:08,149
second proposition for a Christian millennium, I'll expand on these in days to come, over time. Number

50
00:06:08,149 --> 00:06:16,069
two, the second proposition for a Christian millennium, that world government's representative body. Indeed,

51
00:06:16,209 --> 00:06:23,329
a world government must have a representative body, not a tyrant, not a king, not a lord, but indeed,

52
00:06:23,329 --> 00:06:31,230
a representative body must be composed of a worldwide assembly of Christian republics. A worldwide

53
00:06:31,230 --> 00:06:39,129
assembly of Christian republics. Expand your vision, dear listener. Instead of a United Nations, there must be a

54
00:06:39,129 --> 00:06:46,389
world congress composed of representatives from each Christian constitutional republic around the world.

55
00:06:46,389 --> 00:06:54,889
No UN. Indeed, rather, a congress of Christian constitutional republics. Israel practiced this

56
00:06:54,889 --> 00:07:02,370
early in its history, appointing tribal heads to represent the people. Indeed, a congregation of

57
00:07:02,370 --> 00:07:10,149
republican representatives serves this purpose very well. That's my second proposition. That world

58
00:07:10,149 --> 00:07:16,930
government's representative body must be composed of a worldwide assembly of Christian republics, not a

59
00:07:16,930 --> 00:07:23,389
United Nations as we have it now. That's evil, and we all know how evil the United Nations can be.

60
00:07:23,949 --> 00:07:28,829
Thirdly, and I'll expand on that. I'll expand on that second point further in weeks to come,

61
00:07:29,449 --> 00:07:36,089
but my third proposition for a Christian millennium is, history has shown that the freest and most

62
00:07:36,089 --> 00:07:42,870
prosperous societies were those constituted as Christian republics. This is why we must have

63
00:07:42,870 --> 00:07:50,009
the Christian constitutional republic as the model all around the world. We have seen this throughout

64
00:07:50,009 --> 00:07:59,009
history. For example, England during the interregnum with Oliver Cromwell as lord protector. Indeed,

65
00:07:59,009 --> 00:08:07,290
this was a free and prosperous period in English's, in England's history, excuse me, and we could very well

66
00:08:07,290 --> 00:08:16,670
model our constitutional republic on that of England's constitutional republic period during the interregnum,

67
00:08:16,790 --> 00:08:23,250
that is, between the kings. Also, the Dutch Republic is a good example of what a Christian constitutional

68
00:08:23,250 --> 00:08:30,589
republic can look like, or the Swiss confederation composed of independent free cantons, another good

69
00:08:30,589 --> 00:08:36,950
example of a constitutional republic, and what could then be a Christian constitutional republic, and of

70
00:08:36,950 --> 00:08:45,669
course, the 13 states of the American colonies. This is probably the finest example of what a Christian

71
00:08:45,669 --> 00:08:53,110
constitutional republic would look like, the 13 states of the American colonies, and we

72
00:08:53,110 --> 00:09:00,529
must harken back, especially us, we must harken back to those models of a Christian constitutional

73
00:09:00,529 --> 00:09:08,350
republic, for that is what they were. The crucible of redemptive history is dear and costly for human

74
00:09:08,350 --> 00:09:16,129
striving and for individual dreams and aspirations, but that crucible of redemptive history proves the

75
00:09:16,129 --> 00:09:22,809
worth of human governments over time. And if we will but learn from history, we will quickly see

76
00:09:22,809 --> 00:09:29,309
that a Christian constitutional republic provides the best model of human government yet seen on the

77
00:09:29,309 --> 00:09:37,809
stage of human history. It's taken millennia to refine. Let's not lose those lessons. Well,

78
00:09:38,090 --> 00:09:44,149
tyrannies have been destroyed, haven't they? Pagan kingdoms like the four envisioned by Daniel,

79
00:09:44,149 --> 00:09:49,429
the head of gold, the shoulders of silver, the waist of bronze, and of course, the feet

80
00:09:49,429 --> 00:09:59,309
of clay and iron, or the monarchy. All of these have been developed and tried and found wanting. It

81
00:09:59,309 --> 00:10:07,450
is a constitutional republic that has been found to be the freest and most prosperous for society and

82
00:10:07,450 --> 00:10:13,870
culture. Yes, that's number three, a third proposition for a Christian millennium that history

83
00:10:13,870 --> 00:10:19,990
has shown the freest and most prosperous societies were those constituted as Christian republics.

84
00:10:19,990 --> 00:10:25,970
And then fourthly, our fourth proposition for a Christian millennium, as such, Christian republics

85
00:10:25,970 --> 00:10:32,710
are obliged to foster, inculcate, and establish them in other nation states throughout the world

86
00:10:32,710 --> 00:10:40,049
until, as the prophets say, Christ shall speak peace to the nations. His rule shall be from sea to sea

87
00:10:40,049 --> 00:10:46,490
and from the river to the ends of the earth, as Zechariah saw this day. And I have come to the

88
00:10:46,490 --> 00:10:52,289
conclusion myself that it is part of the great commission to do this. There is no sphere of

89
00:10:52,289 --> 00:10:58,669
human existence that is not to be transformed by the gospel. Dominion is our destiny, as revelation

90
00:10:58,669 --> 00:11:04,870
so clearly portrays. I'm preaching through revelation, and we see that Christ is taking possession of his

91
00:11:04,870 --> 00:11:12,690
inheritance, the seven-sealed scroll. And so dominion is our destiny. All of life, whether it's spiritual

92
00:11:12,690 --> 00:11:18,549
or physical or social, cultural, and yea, even political, all of life is meant to be under the

93
00:11:18,549 --> 00:11:25,509
transformative power of Christ and his gospel. Consequently, established Christian constitutional

94
00:11:25,509 --> 00:11:32,250
republics are responsible for planting and nurturing and unfolding within the larger Congress of

95
00:11:32,250 --> 00:11:38,129
Christian republics. Other nascent republics and tribes and tongues and peoples and nations, as

96
00:11:38,129 --> 00:11:47,009
Revelation says, yet struggling to form themselves. Yes, we are obliged to foster and inculcate and

97
00:11:47,009 --> 00:11:54,409
establish other Christian constitutional republics around the world. That's our fourth proposition for

98
00:11:54,409 --> 00:12:00,610
a Christian millennium. Our fifth proposition for a Christian millennium is, number five, Christianity is

99
00:12:00,610 --> 00:12:06,909
destined to be the religion of the whole world. And Christ is destined to be the ruler of the whole world.

100
00:12:07,149 --> 00:12:13,690
And the Holy Spirit is destined to be the power of the whole world within this sphere of time and space

101
00:12:13,690 --> 00:12:21,950
before our Lord's return. This indeed is biblical theology, biblical eschatology, because the scriptures

102
00:12:21,950 --> 00:12:31,230
and the test of redemptive history to these points have clearly demonstrated this emerging fact. All

103
00:12:31,230 --> 00:12:38,970
through the Bible, this is revealed to us, where God says in Psalm chapter two, I will tell of the

104
00:12:38,970 --> 00:12:45,830
decree. The Lord said to me, you are my son. Today I have begotten you. Ask of me and I will make the nations

105
00:12:45,830 --> 00:12:51,409
your heritage and the ends of the earth, your possession. You shall break them with a rod of

106
00:12:51,409 --> 00:12:57,529
iron, with a rod of iron, excuse me, and dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. And John tells

107
00:12:57,529 --> 00:13:03,490
of this fact too, which is present today. He says in Revelation, then I saw thrones and seated on them

108
00:13:03,490 --> 00:13:09,509
were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also, I saw the souls of those who

109
00:13:09,509 --> 00:13:14,590
had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God and those who had not

110
00:13:14,590 --> 00:13:19,490
worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands.

111
00:13:19,490 --> 00:13:25,750
They came to life and reign with Christ for a thousand years, unquote, from Revelation chapter 20.

112
00:13:26,370 --> 00:13:33,509
Redemptive history is clear on these things and it's clear for any eye to see. Christianity has grown

113
00:13:33,509 --> 00:13:39,610
and flourished over 2,000 years now, like the proverbial mustard seed, as Christ puts it,

114
00:13:39,610 --> 00:13:45,870
small and insignificant at first, but now a mighty tree throughout the world and still growing.

115
00:13:46,830 --> 00:13:53,529
Christianity's dominion is inexorable. It cannot be stopped. It will make of the whole creation

116
00:13:53,529 --> 00:13:59,889
a dominion for our Lord. Well, number six, the sixth proposition for a Christian millennium

117
00:13:59,889 --> 00:14:08,190
is indeed number six. The United States Constitution is thus far in redemptive history,

118
00:14:08,190 --> 00:14:15,250
the finest framework for human government yet produced. Oh, it must be the model. It must be

119
00:14:15,250 --> 00:14:21,509
the model for the world. The United States Constitution is thus far in redemptive history,

120
00:14:21,690 --> 00:14:29,830
the finest framework for human government ever produced. But it's not perfect. It can be perfected

121
00:14:29,830 --> 00:14:36,730
in part by making Christ, not the people, the chief authority throughout its various components.

122
00:14:36,730 --> 00:14:43,110
And I am not of the conviction that the United States Constitution is an inspired document,

123
00:14:43,350 --> 00:14:51,230
per se, like Holy Writ. Well, that being said, I am of the opinion that the United States Constitution

124
00:14:51,230 --> 00:14:57,789
is nevertheless the best charter of self-government for any people under the rule and discipline

125
00:14:57,789 --> 00:15:04,929
of the Christian faith yet produced by our race. But it can be improved. And for example, the preamble

126
00:15:04,929 --> 00:15:11,070
begins, we the people? Huh. Our present Constitution makes the people supreme. This is one of its major

127
00:15:11,070 --> 00:15:17,690
weaknesses. Who is it that is supreme? It is, of course, obvious to us, right? But not to the world.

128
00:15:17,690 --> 00:15:24,710
And God will honor our next Constitution all the more if we do acknowledge this fact, indeed,

129
00:15:25,029 --> 00:15:35,029
that Christ ordains and establishes our Constitution, not the people. Okay. That is number six. Number seven.

130
00:15:35,450 --> 00:15:45,870
The seventh proposition for a Christian millennium is, no tyrant surrenders power without resisting.

131
00:15:45,870 --> 00:15:52,750
And consequently, we must be prepared to fight spiritually and culturally and politically and

132
00:15:52,750 --> 00:15:58,610
militarily to establish a worldwide system of Christian constitutional republics. Yes.

133
00:15:59,129 --> 00:16:02,830
This has been the case from the beginning of redemptive history, beginning in the garden,

134
00:16:03,389 --> 00:16:09,070
right? I will put enmity between you and the woman, God said to the serpent, and between your

135
00:16:09,070 --> 00:16:14,490
offspring and her offspring. He shall bruise your head and you shall bruise his heel. There's been

136
00:16:14,490 --> 00:16:21,129
warfare ever since. And it is first and foremost a spiritual warfare. Chairman Mao, for example,

137
00:16:21,129 --> 00:16:26,490
says political power comes out of the barrel of the gun, but we say spiritual power comes out of the

138
00:16:26,490 --> 00:16:33,049
blood of the cross. The Bible testifies to this. The Bible, Paul says, the weapons of our warfare are not

139
00:16:33,049 --> 00:16:40,590
of the flesh, but have divine power to destroy strongholds. Revelation is crystal clear as how to how we

140
00:16:40,590 --> 00:16:48,809
conquer. And Revelation says, for example, they have conquered him. That is, the saints have conquered the beast by the

141
00:16:48,809 --> 00:16:56,330
blood of the lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they love not their lives, even unto death. Oh, yes, it is

142
00:16:56,330 --> 00:17:01,669
weapons, spiritual weapons, the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony. This is how we conquer.

143
00:17:01,669 --> 00:17:08,849
Nevertheless, we must acknowledge that we are in a warfare. Dear listener, there are no noncombatants.

144
00:17:09,009 --> 00:17:15,269
There are no safe places behind the lines. Every Christian is on the front lines of this war.

145
00:17:15,990 --> 00:17:23,410
Yes, that's number seven, a seventh proposition for a Christian millennium is that no tyrant surrenders

146
00:17:23,410 --> 00:17:30,650
power without resisting. And so we must be prepared to fight spiritually, culturally, politically, and

147
00:17:30,650 --> 00:17:38,289
militarily to establish a worldwide system of Christian constitutional republics. And then finally,

148
00:17:38,430 --> 00:17:46,750
number eight, our eighth proposition for a Christian millennium. No true Christian believes that biblical

149
00:17:46,750 --> 00:17:55,130
dominion can be achieved apart from a thorough worldwide conversion and reformation of the majority

150
00:17:55,130 --> 00:18:01,990
of all tribes, tongues, peoples, and nations. There must be a worldwide revival. There must be a worldwide

151
00:18:01,990 --> 00:18:09,029
reformation for this to happen. And therefore, evangelism is a priority for the church. We must

152
00:18:09,029 --> 00:18:15,849
preach the gospel in season and out of season, as Paul says. We must do this around the globe. We must

153
00:18:15,849 --> 00:18:22,150
bring the gospel to every tribe, tongue, people, and nation. Jesus came and said to them,

154
00:18:22,150 --> 00:18:31,690
all authority in heaven and on earth, from Matthew, right? Matthew chapter 28, all authority in heaven

155
00:18:31,690 --> 00:18:38,470
and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name

156
00:18:38,470 --> 00:18:45,490
of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded

157
00:18:45,490 --> 00:18:52,910
you. And behold, I am with you always to the end of the age. Yes, dear listener, all authority has been given to

158
00:18:52,910 --> 00:19:03,430
Christ. In fact, we have borrowed this in the Latin, omnis protestas, all authority. And we have made one of our

159
00:19:03,430 --> 00:19:10,869
websites. Indeed, omnisprotestas.org, all authority. You will find on this website,

160
00:19:11,589 --> 00:19:17,730
my sermons from the radio going four years back. Omnis protestas, let me spell that for you,

161
00:19:17,890 --> 00:19:29,589
O-M-N-I-S dash P-O-T-E-S-T-A-S dot org. And you will find my radio sermons from the four,

162
00:19:29,589 --> 00:19:37,809
from four years back, going four years back. And now beginning today on Newstalk 107.9,

163
00:19:37,950 --> 00:19:47,150
you will find our sermons, a catalog, a catalog, excuse me, of them building for you. And so I

164
00:19:47,150 --> 00:19:59,569
invite you then not only to listen to our radio spots on omnis protestas, O-M-N-I-S-P-O-T-E-S-T-A-S dot org,

00:19:59,589 --> 00:20:06,410
but also to join us for holy worship at New Geneva Orthodox Presbyterian Church. I'm preaching

166
00:20:06,410 --> 00:20:11,930
through the book of Revelation presently, and it's been fun. It's been a rollicking good time.

167
00:20:12,430 --> 00:20:18,430
And we've learned a lot too as a congregation. So we invite you to join us on Sunday morning at 10

168
00:20:18,430 --> 00:20:26,670
