00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,860
Greetings, this is Pastor David Bass at New Geneva Orthodox Presbyterian Church

2
00:00:04,860 --> 00:00:10,039
with a moment of truth where we challenge you to think through an important issue of life and faith.

3
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:18,199
And today I want to challenge you to think about if we are to prosecute a new American revolution

4
00:00:18,199 --> 00:00:25,660
against the deep state, as we have patiently laid out before a candid world, as Jefferson

5
00:00:25,660 --> 00:00:32,539
called the world over his audience, right? If we're going to prosecute this new American

6
00:00:32,539 --> 00:00:39,439
revolution against the deep state, what will take its place? Over the course of four broadcasts,

7
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:44,979
I have assiduously taken us point by point through the Declaration of Independence, all of it,

8
00:00:45,060 --> 00:00:53,100
showing how the 29 particular complaints against King George III and Parliament and the British

9
00:00:53,100 --> 00:01:00,500
people, how these complaints bear an uncanny similarity to those of our generation against

10
00:01:00,500 --> 00:01:07,780
the deep state of America. And what we concluded was that while times and faces change, the modus

11
00:01:07,780 --> 00:01:15,500
operandi of tyranny remains predictably the same because the nature, goals, and ambitions of tyranny

12
00:01:15,500 --> 00:01:21,980
and tyrants have been consistent throughout history. We see it playing out before us today in America.

13
00:01:21,980 --> 00:01:29,359
It is always Satan's trifecta. Power, pride, and plunder. That is Satan's trifecta. Power,

14
00:01:29,579 --> 00:01:37,019
pride, and plunder. Power to rule and destroy. Pride that exalts itself above heaven and their fellow

15
00:01:37,019 --> 00:01:43,879
men. And then plunder to indulge every whim and luxury. In order to achieve these ends, all tyrants,

16
00:01:44,359 --> 00:01:51,480
from Pharaoh to Caesar to King George to our present deep state, have acted consistently. If you would

17
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:58,359
know the consistencies that we found in the Declaration and have not followed us with them, well, I urge you

18
00:01:58,359 --> 00:02:08,060
to review those broadcasts. They are archived on our website, omnispotestas.org. I have messages going four

19
00:02:08,060 --> 00:02:15,759
or five years back. And you can access all of those and see how we have been consistent in all of this

20
00:02:15,759 --> 00:02:23,620
at our website, which chronicles our radio ministry. And that website is omnispotestas.org. Let me spell

21
00:02:23,620 --> 00:02:30,800
that for you. It's Latin for all authority. All authority is indeed Christ's now. And we acknowledge

22
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:36,719
this in all of our messages. And in particular, on our website, omnispotestas, all authority,

23
00:02:36,719 --> 00:02:57,020
O-M-N-I-S dash P-O-T-E-S-T-A-S dot org. Well, let's assume for a moment that we are able to utterly

24
00:02:57,020 --> 00:03:03,759
destroy the deep state. And how we are to do that will take up in a future broadcast. But there is a

25
00:03:03,759 --> 00:03:09,800
good and civilized way of doing this, and we'll detail how that can be done as it has been done

26
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:18,680
in the past. And we are able to, let's just say that we are able to extricate that deep state root

27
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:25,159
and branch from the soil of American life and culture. What would we plant in its place? Before

28
00:03:25,159 --> 00:03:31,139
we decide that, though, there are several misconceptions which must be dispelled. First of all, number one,

29
00:03:31,139 --> 00:03:38,939
it is impossible to reestablish the constitutional republic we once knew. This may be shocking and

30
00:03:38,939 --> 00:03:46,039
disconcerting to many of you, but I am persuaded that it is impossible to reestablish the constitutional

31
00:03:46,039 --> 00:03:51,120
republic that we once knew. It's one of the most difficult conclusions I've ever struggled to

32
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:56,419
reconcile with my passion. Many of you know it. You've been following us over the years. I love the

33
00:03:56,419 --> 00:04:02,500
Constitution of the United States of America. It is the single most glorious and liberating political

34
00:04:02,500 --> 00:04:08,580
document ever composed, and I have spent years teaching it. I have spent years teaching its

35
00:04:08,580 --> 00:04:15,400
principles and its biblical roots. It must be, in fact, I'm persuaded that still it must be the seminal

36
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:21,759
document for any future constitution, but it's not perfect. That being said, the Constitution

37
00:04:21,759 --> 00:04:30,980
and what has become of its spawn, that is the corrupt and debauched whore of Babylon, we now know as the

38
00:04:30,980 --> 00:04:38,139
American deep state, oh, the constitutional republic and the deep state are so inextricably intertwined

39
00:04:38,139 --> 00:04:44,879
that they cannot be separated. The tumor of the deep state is so organically a part of the vital organs of

40
00:04:44,879 --> 00:04:51,740
the Constitution and its system that to try and cut it out would kill the patient. Oh, I also use the

41
00:04:51,740 --> 00:04:58,600
analogy, can you remove one head of conjoined twins without killing them both? Well, neither can you

42
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:04,519
remove the head of the deep state without killing the body. I have dealt with this more extensively in

43
00:05:04,519 --> 00:05:12,000
previous broadcasts. Just suffice it to say that history is replete with examples of civilizations

44
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:17,879
which have strayed so far from the principles and values that made them great to begin with

45
00:05:17,879 --> 00:05:24,740
that there's no reforming them. All that remains is for them to be utterly destroyed and a new thing

46
00:05:24,740 --> 00:05:32,339
built on their ashes. And our study of the apocalypse provides two such examples. And that comes ready

47
00:05:32,339 --> 00:05:37,980
to hand for me because I'm preaching through the book of Revelation right now. And Revelation provides

48
00:05:37,980 --> 00:05:45,100
two examples of cultures and civilizations that were beyond reforming. All that remained for them

49
00:05:45,100 --> 00:05:52,319
was to be utterly destroyed and a new thing built in its place. Number one, Israel and its temple system.

50
00:05:52,319 --> 00:05:59,000
That is the story, part of the story of the apocalypse, is that Israel and its temple system

51
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:05,079
was utterly destroyed. Israel became so sinful and corrupt that it rejected her Savior and Messiah,

52
00:06:05,439 --> 00:06:11,019
Jesus the Christ, when he came. In fact, Israel wickedly crucified the Lord of glory

53
00:06:11,019 --> 00:06:18,100
and persecuted his followers. And so God brought a pagan nation, that is Rome, to utterly destroy Jerusalem

54
00:06:18,100 --> 00:06:25,560
and the temple in AD 70. And what arose in place of the old covenant order was God's chosen nation,

55
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:33,259
the church. Now the universal people of God, not just one ethnic nation. And then secondly,

56
00:06:33,740 --> 00:06:40,019
Rome was also utterly destroyed and a new thing built in its place. The great Roman Republic

57
00:06:40,019 --> 00:06:47,100
sank into the tyranny of the Roman Empire, beginning with Julius Caesar. In time, the empire decayed

58
00:06:47,100 --> 00:06:53,519
into such corruption and debauchery that there was no possibility of returning to her founding roots.

59
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:59,759
All that was left was a slow destruction, beginning with the barbarian invasions in the third century.

60
00:07:00,100 --> 00:07:06,060
And what was built on the ashes of the Roman Empire by the church is what we now know today as

61
00:07:06,060 --> 00:07:13,100
Christendom or the powerful impact which Christianity has had on Western civilization. That's what we mean

62
00:07:13,100 --> 00:07:19,899
when we talk about Christendom. So it is my argument that the United States of America has reached such

63
00:07:19,899 --> 00:07:27,759
a point of no return. Tyranny and corruption have so completely enveloped us that there is no going back.

64
00:07:28,139 --> 00:07:33,699
We cannot find a path back to constitutional ways because the bridge has been destroyed,

65
00:07:33,699 --> 00:07:39,639
that compass lost, and our guide has been stabbed in the back. Oh, what's left? What is left then?

66
00:07:40,259 --> 00:07:47,079
Oh, what is left is the complete destruction of the United States constitutional system and a new

67
00:07:47,079 --> 00:07:52,899
thing constructed on the ashes. The left in our country is already doing this job of destruction we

68
00:07:52,899 --> 00:07:59,060
see around us, but they're not doing it in a planned, coherent, and constructive way. You can destroy

69
00:07:59,060 --> 00:08:05,860
constructively. Excuse me. You can destroy constructively. And they are destroying willy-nilly

70
00:08:05,860 --> 00:08:15,060
as the Marxists did, as Lenin did in Russia in 1917, and as the Haitians did to destroy Haiti or

71
00:08:15,060 --> 00:08:21,120
Venezuela. We see this all around us. Marxist Leninists have done this throughout modern history.

72
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:27,300
That is, bring a nation into anarchy and chaos, which they are doing. This is a planned revolution.

73
00:08:27,300 --> 00:08:32,299
And, dear listener, bring America into anarchy and chaos, as we see in the streets,

74
00:08:32,759 --> 00:08:39,299
then in Portland, or in Los Angeles, or around the country now, right? Bring a nation into anarchy

75
00:08:39,299 --> 00:08:45,600
and chaos, and then impose the order, quote-unquote, of a totalitarian Marxist state. This is what's

76
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:51,960
going on around us. We must be aware of it, and we must plan against it. We must plan for ourselves

77
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:57,039
what will take the place of the deep state of America when it is dismantled and destroyed.

78
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:05,220
Secondly, we must also realize that we cannot wait and see until after we destroy the deep state. What

79
00:09:05,220 --> 00:09:10,120
will take the place of the deep state? We can't just wait and see until after we destroy the deep

80
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:16,340
state. No. History abhors a vacuum, dear listener. History will fill it with tyranny if we do not have a

81
00:09:16,340 --> 00:09:22,740
plan in place before we raise the rotten barn of the deep state. You can't replace something with

82
00:09:22,740 --> 00:09:29,340
nothing. One of my favorite commentators, Gary North, says about, indeed, the world coming. You

83
00:09:29,340 --> 00:09:36,320
can't replace something with nothing. Random revolution brings inevitable anarchy. Once again, history is

84
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:42,379
replete with examples of what happens when a revolution is launched without regard to what will

85
00:09:42,379 --> 00:09:49,500
replace what is taken down. For example, in 18th century France, the aristocracy had for so long

86
00:09:49,500 --> 00:09:55,700
suppressed the peasants that when the lid finally blew in 1789, launching the French Revolution,

87
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:03,480
there was no lack of pent-up resentment and rage. And that resentment and rage sustained the overthrow of

88
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:10,340
the French nobility via the guillotine in what became known as the reign of terror. A reign of terror

89
00:10:10,340 --> 00:10:16,860
with guillotines is in America's future, too. But no careful thought in France was given to what

90
00:10:16,860 --> 00:10:23,179
would replace the monarchical form of government until after the bloodbath had started. The terminus of

91
00:10:23,179 --> 00:10:30,720
thoughtless terror is always tyranny. The end of terror is always tyranny. And that is what happened in

92
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:37,860
the French Revolution leading right to its very end. That is, Napoleon, the tyrant Napoleon. Now,

93
00:10:37,860 --> 00:10:44,820
the same could be said of revolutions in places like Haiti and Venezuela. They were violent, impetuous

94
00:10:44,820 --> 00:10:51,299
revolutions that soon issued in dictatorial regimes led by Baby Doc Duvalier in Haiti, for example,

95
00:10:51,299 --> 00:10:58,679
and Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. Oh, history is replete with examples of how anarchy leads to tyranny.

96
00:10:59,139 --> 00:11:05,659
The founding fathers, on the other hand, had the model of colonial legislatures, which they brought

97
00:11:05,659 --> 00:11:11,740
right into independence following the revolution. And additionally, the first constitution of the

98
00:11:11,740 --> 00:11:17,500
new nation was already under draft before the war was even over. There was not anarchy and chaos in

99
00:11:17,500 --> 00:11:26,080
America in its revolution. The Articles of Confederation were first drafted by Benjamin Franklin back in 1777,

100
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:33,360
when the war for independence was still commencing. Revised then the Articles, revised by the

101
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:39,840
delegate Silas Dean from Connecticut. And then the Articles of Confederation were given a final draft

102
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:46,399
by delegate John Dickinson of Pennsylvania, who had started his own version as early as 1776. The

103
00:11:46,399 --> 00:11:53,600
founders are eager to have a constitution in place by the time the war was over. And so we see that the

104
00:11:53,600 --> 00:12:00,320
American Revolution was not as liable to get out of control as the French Revolution because of a plan

105
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:07,840
and a skeletal framework of government institutions in place already. Now, we need the same thing for

106
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:13,360
when the treasonous deep state of America is brought to the surface and into the light, brought to justice

107
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:19,440
and completely destroyed from the face of the earth, the deep state of America. What will take the place

108
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:26,320
of the once beloved constitutional republic, which is now an institutional rat pack? Once that

109
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:32,320
constitutional republic, once that deep state lies in ashes and in ruin. If we don't do something,

110
00:12:32,879 --> 00:12:38,960
believe me, the anarchists will, the Marxist-Leninists who are planning the riots in the streets now.

111
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:46,399
Indeed, Angela Davis says the present riots are training in preparation for revolution. And that is

112
00:12:46,399 --> 00:12:52,559
what's coming to America if we do not indeed have something of our own in place to take the place

113
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:59,120
of the destroyed, rotten, corrupt, debauched deep state of America as it is presently constituted.

114
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:08,480
Oh, what must replace the American constitutional republic is an explicit Christian constitutional

115
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:15,200
republic. This we have asserted. This we have begun to outline and will fill in as we go along. But for

116
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:22,559
now, we must assert that what must replace the American constitutional republic that is degenerated

117
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:30,399
into the deep state of America is an explicitly Christian constitutional republic. This is what must

118
00:13:30,399 --> 00:13:38,480
take the place of the deep state as presently constituted. Oh, what is that, Pastor, you might say?

119
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:45,679
Oh, all of that drama for this. All you've done, Pastor, is put Christian in front of constitutional

120
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:52,000
republic. Is that what you've done? Wasn't this in our founding? That is that implicitly we were a

121
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:57,600
Christian constitutional republic? What's the difference? Well, the difference is in the explicit

122
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:04,480
self-conscious nature of the case, the explicit self-conscious nature of the case. I have come to see

123
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:10,639
that one of the major deficiencies of our Constitution, and our Constitution is not perfect. It is not

124
00:14:10,639 --> 00:14:18,799
holy writ. It has deficiencies. And one of those is precisely that it does not frankly acknowledge who is

125
00:14:18,799 --> 00:14:26,639
sovereign over the nations. And that is, of course, Jesus the Christ. Psalm 2 is very frank and open

126
00:14:26,639 --> 00:14:35,279
about asserting this. Psalm number 2 says, As for me, I have set my king on Zion, my holy hill. The

127
00:14:35,279 --> 00:14:41,960
Lord said to me, You are my son. Today I have begotten you. Ask of me, and I will make the nations your

128
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:48,720
heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession. Now, therefore, O kings, be wise, be warned. O rulers

129
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:56,240
of the earth, serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Oh, indeed, Jesus Christ is indeed

130
00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:03,500
king of kings and lord of lords. He asks of the father, and the father makes the nations his

131
00:15:03,500 --> 00:15:09,000
heritage, and the ends of the earth is Christ's possession. This is a major theme of the book of

132
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:15,980
Revelation. In every other respect, our history does this. The rallying cry of the revolution among

133
00:15:15,980 --> 00:15:23,120
the common man was no king but Jesus. Did you know that? No king but Jesus was the rallying cry of the

134
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:28,799
revolution. They were sick of tyranny, the tyranny of George III, the tyranny of kings, all through

135
00:15:28,799 --> 00:15:35,620
history, and so they asserted, our founders did, no king but Jesus. And as John Adams puts it as well,

136
00:15:36,100 --> 00:15:42,039
our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for

137
00:15:42,039 --> 00:15:49,519
the government of any other. Oh, there is ample testimony, listener, to the enthronement of King Jesus

138
00:15:49,519 --> 00:15:55,100
in the hearts of America in her early years, in her early history, except for her constitution.

139
00:15:56,620 --> 00:16:02,840
Strangely silent on this. Implicitly, yes, and I've spent decades articulating and unfolding the

140
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:07,799
biblical basis for the constitution. But the founders, for a number of reasons which we won't get into

141
00:16:07,799 --> 00:16:14,860
here and not today, the founders nevertheless fell short of this one crucial step. Why do, while I do not

142
00:16:14,860 --> 00:16:20,600
have the time at this juncture to lay out those reasons, one resource that does a credible job of

143
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:28,820
doing it is a book called Political Polytheism, The Myth of Pluralism by Gary North. Gary North is a

144
00:16:28,820 --> 00:16:33,940
Christian economist who has developed a whole series of excellent writings from which I have drawn

145
00:16:33,940 --> 00:16:42,100
deeply in my articulation of our need for a Christian constitutional republic. One of those books is

146
00:16:42,100 --> 00:16:48,700
political polytheism, the myth of pluralism. Oh, there is a myth of pluralism in America today,

147
00:16:48,700 --> 00:16:58,720
as if we can get along just fine with atheists and with Luciferians and with Islamicists and have a

148
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:05,380
perfectly free and normal functioning country. No, we can't. It's political polytheism, and it's a myth

149
00:17:05,380 --> 00:17:12,559
of pluralism. We cannot exist. We must have an explicitly Christian constitution. It is not as if

150
00:17:12,559 --> 00:17:19,220
the founders didn't have fit examples. They could have if they had looked. They did have fit examples

151
00:17:19,220 --> 00:17:27,220
to follow in crowning Christ as the sovereign in the constitution. Every colonial charter began with

152
00:17:27,220 --> 00:17:33,339
an acknowledgement of God as sovereign. I take this example from the fundamental orders of Connecticut.

153
00:17:33,339 --> 00:17:38,440
In the preamble, the fundamental orders of Connecticut, Connecticut, of course, one of

154
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:45,420
the 13 colonies and its colonial charter, its preamble read like this. For as much as it hath pleased

155
00:17:45,420 --> 00:17:52,420
almighty God by the wise disposition of his divine providence, so to order and dispose of things that

156
00:17:52,420 --> 00:17:58,559
we, the inhabitants cohabiting and dwelling in and upon the river of Connecticut, and well knowing where

157
00:17:58,559 --> 00:18:04,299
a people are gathered together, the word of God requires that to maintain the peace and union of

158
00:18:04,299 --> 00:18:10,559
such a people, there should be an orderly and decent government established according to God

159
00:18:10,559 --> 00:18:17,420
to maintain and preserve the liberty and purity of the gospel of our Lord Jesus, which we now profess

160
00:18:17,420 --> 00:18:23,599
as also the discipline of the churches, while according to the truth of the said gospel is now

161
00:18:23,599 --> 00:18:30,599
practiced among us, as also in our civil affairs, to be guided and governed according to such laws,

162
00:18:30,819 --> 00:18:37,759
rules, orders, and decrees, as shall be made, ordered, and decreed as follows. And then goes the

163
00:18:37,759 --> 00:18:43,279
rest of the constitution, the fundamental orders of Connecticut. But I just read for you the preamble,

164
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:48,819
which acknowledges the God of the Bible and the Lord Jesus Christ as sovereign over that colony.

165
00:18:48,819 --> 00:18:56,559
This indeed is a model, if you will, of how a national constitution should be so ordered.

166
00:18:57,519 --> 00:19:03,200
All of the colonial charters, the constitutions, had language similar to that of Connecticut.

167
00:19:03,759 --> 00:19:09,440
Christ was king of the colonies, explicitly acknowledged. This is one reason why God blessed

168
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:16,299
America so abundantly and fruitfully in its early years. And it is time then to return to this

169
00:19:16,299 --> 00:19:24,359
founding truth. And it is time to acknowledge that truth formally in our constitution. We owe it to a

170
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:31,900
candid world, as Jefferson puts it. We owe it to them and to ourselves. God blesses an open and explicit

171
00:19:31,900 --> 00:19:40,140
confession of himself personally and corporately. He blesses personally and corporately, not a silent,

172
00:19:40,140 --> 00:19:47,079
implicit one, as is presently the state in our constitution. As Jesus says to his disciples,

173
00:19:47,279 --> 00:19:53,039
everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven.

174
00:19:53,319 --> 00:19:59,779
But whoever denies me before men, I will also deny before my Father who is in heaven. We must

175
00:19:59,779 --> 00:20:06,359
acknowledge Christ both personally and corporately. We do that corporately in our churches and yea,

176
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:13,160
in our government and constitutions. Behold, how God has blessed America and her constitution in the

177
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:19,539
past, even with this muted expression of his lordship. Oh, dear listener, think what an open

178
00:20:19,539 --> 00:20:25,579
confession of him would elicit. While there are several things we might do to improve the actual

179
00:20:25,579 --> 00:20:32,339
body of the constitution. And I like Mark Levin's books and his book, The Liberty Amendments,

180
00:20:32,339 --> 00:20:40,140
Restoring the American Republic, outlines some very good ways in which we might actually improve the

181
00:20:40,140 --> 00:20:46,859
constitution in a number of ways. I recommend that book to you. I want to focus yet on how we might

182
00:20:46,859 --> 00:20:53,839
actually acknowledge Christ in a constitution, in a Christian constitution. Number one, we might

183
00:20:53,839 --> 00:20:59,619
openly acknowledge Christ in a number of ways. Number one, simply alter the preamble to the

184
00:20:59,619 --> 00:21:07,160
constitution to read Christ the king in order to form a more perfect union and establish justice and

185
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:12,460
et cetera, et cetera. Through the preamble, the very opening words, rather than we the people, we should

186
00:21:12,460 --> 00:21:18,359
acknowledge it as Christ the king who orders a more perfect union and establishes justice in the other

187
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:25,680
four additional purposes of government. This would be an acknowledgement from the outset that Christ is

188
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:31,640
sovereign. It is a misnomer of the highest order when objectively considered to assert that the people

189
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:37,720
are untethered from the providential will of their creator. No, no, no. We are not simply able to

190
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:44,400
ordain and establish anything, much less a solemn constitution. That is one way in which we might

191
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:51,779
begin to establish a Christian constitution is right in the preamble. Or number two, we might indeed

192
00:21:51,779 --> 00:21:58,500
further improve upon the constitution by acknowledging Christ in the oath of office. The oath of office in

193
00:21:58,500 --> 00:22:05,759
our constitution presently is found in article two, section one, and paragraph nine. We assert that the

194
00:22:05,759 --> 00:22:12,640
oath of office should be sworn in the name of God and Jesus Christ explicitly. Right now it reads,

195
00:22:13,259 --> 00:22:19,920
I do solemnly swear in the name of, or what it should read, I'm sorry, is, I do solemnly swear in the name

196
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:26,220
of God the Father and his Son, Jesus Christ, that I will faithfully execute the office of president and

197
00:22:26,220 --> 00:22:33,640
on and on for the rest of the oath. This is how it should be restated and refigured and held and

198
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:41,339
sworn in sincerity. Solem oaths are not much regarded in today's world, however, is it, as evidenced by

199
00:22:41,339 --> 00:22:46,940
those oaths, violations on a regular basis by so many who swear them in our government.

200
00:22:46,940 --> 00:22:53,460
They are but mere formalities for most of them. Oh, to be repeated and then quickly forgotten while they get

201
00:22:53,460 --> 00:22:58,640
on to the real business of government, right? Screwball the American people and enrich me and my family.

202
00:22:58,859 --> 00:23:04,660
That seems to be the prime directive of most politicians. But God will hold them to account,

203
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:10,720
both in this world and the next, for the breaking of their oaths. Do you hear that, deep staters?

204
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:16,940
You will be held accountable by God Almighty. How much more when sworn, however, in his name throughout

205
00:23:16,940 --> 00:23:23,319
history, covenants and treaties, and keep in mind that the Constitution is really a covenant at base,

206
00:23:24,019 --> 00:23:29,599
all covenants and treaties were sworn on pain of death to be kept to the letter and in the name of

207
00:23:29,599 --> 00:23:35,500
God. It is time we acknowledge the God of this land, the Lord Jesus Christ. Treachery, treason,

208
00:23:35,500 --> 00:23:42,740
or callous disregard of the covenant resulted in a violation of the oath to it. And in covenants past

209
00:23:42,740 --> 00:23:49,519
throughout history, it always brought swift justice from the God, the king of that covenant, or the man,

210
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:55,680
the king of that covenant. We see this throughout the Bible. And God has not changed. Oaths ensure

211
00:23:55,680 --> 00:24:02,500
fidelity to the covenant, or else the fear of God indeed stands behind. Oaths to covenants,

212
00:24:02,500 --> 00:24:10,180
or else they will obtain swift justice from both God and me. Our enforcement of covenant oaths indeed

213
00:24:10,180 --> 00:24:16,980
tell us that we fear God as well, and that God stands behind oaths in covenants. Even the generic

214
00:24:16,980 --> 00:24:23,380
oath of the American Constitution, God will requite justice for its violation. If we live long enough,

215
00:24:23,599 --> 00:24:28,839
oh, I pray that we will see criminals like Bill and Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, George Bush,

216
00:24:28,839 --> 00:24:34,259
Dianne Feinstein, James Comey, Peter Strzok, John Brennan, James Clapper, and dozens of others

217
00:24:34,259 --> 00:24:40,079
given a swift trial and then shot at dawn. All of these I've listed for you have violated their oaths

218
00:24:40,079 --> 00:24:46,339
to faithfully execute their offices and defend the Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic.

219
00:24:46,779 --> 00:24:54,099
In fact, these that I have named for you personify enemies domestic. The oaths sworn must invoke the

220
00:24:54,099 --> 00:24:59,759
transcendent sanctions of Almighty God upon the swearer, positive sanctions for the faithful,

221
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:06,420
negative sanctions for the unfaithful. Those demon hypocrites who put their hands on a Bible

222
00:25:06,420 --> 00:25:14,079
as a symbol of sanctions and solemnity, they should also have a symbol of blood, too,

223
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:19,839
to show these very sanctions. The justice should be holding, for example, a loaded 357

224
00:25:19,839 --> 00:25:27,539
magnum as a symbol of sanctions and solemnity. Well, these are two of the things to help us ensure

225
00:25:27,539 --> 00:25:35,859
indeed that a Christian constitution is a Christian constitution and we build a series of Christian

226
00:25:35,859 --> 00:25:43,380
constitutional republics. I'll continue with this next week where we'll indeed see further ways in which

227
00:25:43,380 --> 00:25:52,940
we can ensure that we have a Christian constitutional republic and in its form, that is, in the Constitution's

228
00:25:52,940 --> 00:25:59,599
very heart and soul in its very form. Now, this has been Pastor David Bass at New Geneva Orthodox

229
00:25:59,599 --> 00:26:06,000
Presbyterian Church and we are indeed casting a vision for a Christian constitutional republic,

230
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:11,779
for a Congress of Christian constitutional republics around the world. We're presently articulating

231
00:26:11,779 --> 00:26:17,740
some of this in our series in church service on Sunday morning, in our series on the apocalypse,

232
00:26:18,279 --> 00:26:22,220
so I encourage you to join us for worship. If you've been thinking about crossing our threshold,

233
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:27,359
come and join us at New Geneva Orthodox Presbyterian Church. We meet for holy worship on Sunday

234
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:33,220
at 10 a.m. at 101 4th Street on the corner of 4th and Boulevard, and you can call us for more

235
00:26:33,220 --> 00:26:44,640
information and some comments, if you like, at area code 208-523-0196. That's area code 208-523-0196.
