Protesters in Guam against vaccination mandates.

This is a transcription of an audio podcast by Christian J. Pinto given on September 5, 2023. I’m excited to transcribe one of his podcasts, and especially this one because I think it’s a very important and timely one. My wife and I love to listen to him just before bed every evening. He’s one of the few people, in our opinion, who sees the big picture of Satan’s onslaught on Earth which is led by the Jesuit Order and the Vatican.

Okay, praise the Lord you guys and welcome. I’m Chris Pinto. This is Noise of Thunder Radio. Today on the show, we are going to talk about a number of items.

We’re going to talk about all of the warnings now that they are planning to bring back the COVID regulations. What will that mean? Will there be forced mask-wearing? Is there a new variant out there? What’s going to happen with it? And how should we understand that as Americans?

We’re going to go over some of those stories. We’re also going to talk about what’s going on in New York.

Now, we warned everybody about Georgetown University. We’ve warned people many times to pay attention to what happens at Georgetown. Georgetown University, in my opinion, is the most politically influential university in the country. And there they built a mosque earlier this year. Built a mosque for the Muslims earlier this year (2023).

And now, months later, we are hearing that the mayor of New York has agreed to allow the Muslims to broadcast their call to prayer. The Islamic call to prayer will now be blasted throughout the streets of New York as we approach the anniversary of 911, the anniversary of the attack on September the 11th. And it’s in this month, the month of September, that the mayor of New York has decided, yes, now it’s time to let the Muslims broadcast their call to prayer. And not a few people are objecting to this, obviously. But we’ll talk about that and what does that mean.

But let’s go over this COVID stuff. There’s a story posted by the New York Post not long ago, in fact, just a day ago. And the headline says,

“Fauci admits to lack of COVID mask evidence, but wants us to wear them anyway.”

So people are warning that these mask mandates are going to return, that they’re going to start forcing people to wear masks again. For example, when you travel, when you go out in public, when you go to different places, they’re going to require it. Supposedly it hasn’t happened yet. But people have been warning that it’s moving in that direction.

Is that what we’re going to see happen here through September and October as we arrive at the end of this year? Remember when COVID first broke out, there were things that were going on in October, November and December. It was then January, and February that they began really announcing that there was this pandemic. So I don’t know if history repeats itself. Maybe what they’re doing is laying the groundwork here in the fall. And then after the first of the year, they’re really going to push the agenda.

But let’s listen to a sound bite here from Dr. Fauci on CNN talking about the whole mask wearing debate. Here’s what he said. Listen.

“Yeah, but there are other studies, Michael, that show at an individual level for an individual. When you’re talking about the effect on the epidemic or the pandemic as a whole, the data are less strong. But when you talk about as an individual basis of someone protecting themselves or protecting themselves from spreading it to others, there’s no doubt that there are many studies that show that there is an advantage.”

Okay, now I’m going to play just a little tiny montage. This is from a YouTube source called Meet News Network. Meet News Network. And they have a whole series of audio clips with music in the background showing how everybody from Dr. Fauci to Dr. Birx, to the surgeon general, et cetera, said masks are not necessary and they discourage them early on. And that if you’re a healthy person, the mask is not going to do you any good at all. That used to be what they told everyone. Listen.

(There are different voices, and I’m not sure who they all are. Each paragraph is a different person.)

All right. So in that clip again, you were hearing everybody from Dr. Birx who was saying that the mask is not going to do you any good if you’re healthy, to the surgeon general admitting to this. The very last person you heard, well you heard Fauci in there as well, then you heard one of the health directors from New York, New York State. And the last person you heard was Dr. Redfield with the CDC, saying that it just really bothers him people going around wearing these masks, and there’s no need for it, etc.

And then later on, Fauci claimed that the reason they said that was because people were buying up the masks and they needed them for the medical community, the doctors and the nurses needed the masks. So they were afraid there was going to be a mask shortage. Then later on they flip-flopped and said, no, now we think everybody needs to wear a mask and so on.

Senator Rand Paul. I want to play one more clip. This is of Senator Rand Paul confronting Dr. Fauci, which he’s done in a number of ways that I think we should all be thankful for, thankful that we’ve got somebody in our government who’s actually standing up and confronting the ridiculousness of these COVID mandates that are constantly changing. But listen to what Senator Rand Paul said to Fauci and you can hear their exchange. Here it is.

Okay. So just so we understand that debate is from according to where it is found on YouTube. It says March 18th, 2021. So about two years ago, a little over two years ago, that was the debate on masks. And we all know what happened. The mask mandates continued. You couldn’t get on an airplane without a mask. I mean, I just gave up flying during that time because I didn’t want to have to go through all of the arguments and everything at the airport. And I didn’t want to go fly and wear a mask and this kind of thing. So I just gave up flying. Then once they dropped the mask mandate at the airports, I remember going there and things seemed like they were back to normal. In fact, if anything, the airports, all of the airports, because I traveled to different places, I think I went through Dallas at one point. I think I may have gone through Atlanta, but the airports were very, very full. Lots and lots of people. Lots of people. Busier than they had been before COVID. And it seemed like people were eager to get back out and travel again. That’s how it seemed to me.

But anyway, so this now begs the question, are they going to after all these exchanges and back and forth? And you have some people saying that masks are beneficial. Other people are saying, no, they do absolutely nothing. They’re not going to prevent anything, et cetera. Where is society, the government?

Dr. Fauci, as we know, is no longer in the office that he had before. He has retired from that office and now is working surprise, surprise over at Georgetown University. I’ve talked about that before. But remember, it was at Georgetown University that Dr. Fauci made the announcement shortly after Donald Trump was elected president back in 2016. It’s from Georgetown that he makes the announcement that there will be a surprise pandemic for the Trump administration. And I’ve played that audio before. We’re not going to go over it again today. But very interesting, that Dr. Fauci is at Georgetown University.

And what’s going to happen with these mask mandates? Some people are saying they’re coming back. Others are saying they won’t. President Trump published a video in which he openly spoke concerning the COVID lock-downs and so on. He said, quote, “We will not comply.” And so he’s basically thrown down the gauntlet at the Biden administration and pretty much all of the governments across the country and said, “No, we’re not going to allow lockdowns to happen again, shutting down the businesses and all these other things.”

People have been predicting that this is what’s going to happen here through September and October. Maybe it’ll spill over into November and December. Who knows? We’ll have to wait and see.

But people are arguing that if there is pushback, the American people will push back, they will stand up and they will say, no, we’re not going to go along with this. We reject it. We refuse it, et cetera. If enough people refuse to cooperate, then the powers of government will back down. Will back down. And I think where this Covid stuff is concerned, especially where the vaccines are concerned, they will back down.

You know, the masks are one thing. They’re really annoying. I admit, very annoying. The whole idea of wearing these masks, but with the vaccine now with all these stories that are openly admitted that you can be subject to sudden death syndrome, you can be subject to myocarditis with the heart condition, you can be subject to the blood clots that can cause death, that there are all sorts of conditions that people have developed. Some that I think they don’t yet fully understand. But there’s no question that a certain percentage of the population has a negative reaction from the COVID vaccines.

As we know, there are several different versions of the Covid vaccine, but nonetheless, there’s plenty of data out there. The death toll has gone up dramatically since they rolled out the vaccines. They’re finding strange substances in people’s blood, strange clotting and everything else that’s going on in the human bloodstreams. Some people are even predicting that in the years ahead, the unvaxxed, the people who have never been vaccinated with this COVID vaccine, that their blood is going to be the most desirable for blood transfusions and things like that, because people who have been vaccinated, their DNA has been permanently altered.

Now, I’m not a scientist, folks. I am simply telling you what is being discussed, and what is being reported by doctors, nurses, medical professionals, and scientists out there who have been talking about this for the past several years. And many of you are already aware of it.

Now, I believe as I did a show when we talked about this before and I compared the COVID vaccines, what they do with a COVID vaccine in terms of making them mandatory and effectively saying that they want to shut down people’s lives if you don’t go along with the COVID vaccine. I think we are right to stand up to and to object to because they essentially want to make it impossible for you to live and work and just live your life in our society unless you accept this highly controversial and in many cases dangerous and even deadly vaccine that has had a harmful impact on many people. And you don’t know whether or not you’re going to be one of those people until after you’ve taken the vaccine. That’s the problem with it. Does the government have a right to force this kind of thing on the general population?

Well, I relate this to the story of the children of Israel and a guy named Nahash the Ammonite in the Old Testament. (1 Samuel 11:1)

And what we’re going to do is we’re going to go to our commercial break. When we come back, we’re going to talk about Nahash the Ammonite. We’re going to talk about a woman, a very brave, very bold woman who’s been speaking out, Christine Anderson, a member of the European Parliament. We’ll talk about all that when we come back right after this.

(Commercial break)

Today we’re talking about the possible return of COVID. Will it be COVID 2.0? Well, the next few months will be the answer to that question, I think, at least based on the reports we’re hearing early on. It looks like they may try to bring back the COVID mandates. There are many voices, however, including that of President Donald Trump saying, we will not comply. That’s the response being given by many people. It should be interesting.

All right, so now we return to our primary subject today, which is COVID 2.0, the return. COVID part two.

You know, they always had sequels to Jaws, and Friday the 13th and Halloween, all those horror movies. I guess Covid is kind of an American horror story. Maybe Covid 2.0, Covid part two. Something like that, who knows? But again, right now, a lot of it is speculation. Not entirely. There are things that are beginning to happen. There are some colleges, universities and so on that have begun to reintroduce the requirement of wearing masks and that kind of thing. So it’s going to be very interesting to see what happens through September into October. That’s where this is supposed to gain more and more momentum.

And of course, they’re claiming that there’s a new variant out there. And so these things are going to become more and more important as things press forward. So we’ve got to be in prayer and we’ve got to seek how we ought to respond. Now I wanted to play some audio from Christine Anderson, a member of the European Parliament. She has been speaking out on this whole issue on the COVID pandemic that some people call a plannedemic. And let’s hear what she had to say.

Somebody had posted this on Twitter, which is now called X. And they said, quote,

“You cannot comply your way out of tyranny. It is impossible. Stop complying. Start rebelling. They’re out to get you if you do not resist.”

And then it has a quote,

“COVID madness, the so-called pandemic. It was just a test balloon, a gigantic test balloon.”

And they are apparently quoting this member of the European Parliament, an MEP, Christine Anderson. Let’s hear what she had to say. Here it is.

Wow. Wow. Wow.

Well, you know, at this point, nobody can say that there were no warnings. Nobody can say that, well, nobody in leadership was willing to sound an alarm or to warn anybody. We can’t say that. We have had people who have been giving warnings on this whole COVID issue, this whole controversy. We’ve had warnings right from the beginning. We’ve had people who have warned about the vaccine, people who have warned that this is really about power and control. This doesn’t have anything to do with public health or any of that. And I’m not going to go over all the issues. There’s lots of information out there. People have made thousands and thousands of videos and podcasts and all kinds of stuff. By now, if you’re not aware of the warnings, then it’s because you’re not paying attention. You’re just not paying attention to what’s going on.

I believe we have a responsibility as Christians. Jesus says, take heed that no man deceive you. I believe we have a responsibility to resist and avoid deception in as much as we have the ability to do it. None of us is perfect. We all fall short somewhere. But on this issue, there are many, many warnings that are out there.

Well on the other side, those who are very pro-vax and pro-fauci et cetera, people who are just hook line and sinker, given into fauciism, something like Sean Penn, the Hollywood actor, Sean Penn, is now being quoted. He’s posted a video where he’s saying that COVID is a mandatory rehearsal for things to come. And people are asking, you know, well, who signed up for this mandatory rehearsal? Huh? What? Let’s listen to what Sean Penn said. This is pretty short. Here it is.

Okay. Now that quote there, we know that Hollywood is part of the globalist machine, that there are people in the intelligence community and the CIA and elsewhere who are projecting ideas through Hollywood. This has been going on for decades. He had the great, great American iconic actor, John Wayne, warning years ago, he warned that the communists were trying to infiltrate Hollywood. There’s even an interview with John Wayne. I’ve played audio from it before. I’m not going to play it again, but you can find it online where John Wayne is warning about the commies coming into Hollywood. And the Duke, to his credit, was one of those great Americans who opposed them and said, “No, we’re not going to cooperate with these guys.” And, but of course, eventually because they’re very persistent and they’re relentless. Eventually, they got in.

So that clip sounds more like what people were saying early on with COVID that coronavirus is the crown jewel of the New World Order, that they are going to use this whole concept of this coronavirus and pandemics and this kind of thing to establish the entire totalitarian system of globalism, world communism that they have been working on for many, many years, literally more than a hundred years now, according to official records. When I say official records, I mean the US Congress and the Reese Committee that documented the activities of these Marxist groups with Rockefeller, Ford, Carnegie and others that joined them many years afterward, like George Soros and Bill and Melinda Gates, their foundation, the Clinton Foundation, et cetera, they’re all moving things in the same direction.

But let me play another clip from Sean Penn because this is where you have kind of Mark of the Beast-type dialogue going on, and it’s why people in the Christian community have associated the COVID vaccine with the Mark of the Beast from the book of Revelation because the powers at work want to make being vaccinated or not being vaccinated a matter of whether you can operate in society. That if they could get what they want, no man might be able to buy or sell except he who bears the mark of vaccination or so it seems.

Now up to now, I have not believed that the vaccine is “the Mark of the Beast.” I don’t necessarily think it is, but the arguments that are being made, are certainly moving things in that direction.

Let’s hear what Sean Penn had to say. And this is another interview that he was in where he’s being asked about the unvaccinated. Listen.

Okay. So that’s again, Sean Penn. That’s his view. And we know that there’s a number of people out there in Hollywood who have a similar view. And whether or not this is all going to resurface, it’s almost like COVID was exposed as a sham. The vaccines, because people are just dying suddenly. They’re dropping over.

Everybody can get on the Internet. The mainstream media can choose not to show videos of these things happening. But with the Internet now, people all over the world can get online and they can see this stuff. And because virtually everybody has a camera who owns an iPhone or some kind of cell phone, people can record stuff wherever they are. And then they can upload it to the Internet and mainstream media cannot regulate it. They can’t stop it. They’re trying to find ways to stop it now because they realize that the Internet is sort of overwhelming them by exposing their lives.

It reminds me of what happened with the great Reformation and the printing press. Once society reached a point where they could produce more Bibles and more Bible tracks and writings and so on, preaching the gospel and preaching the Word of God and confronting the anti-Christ powers of the Inquisition, et cetera. That’s what helped to transform society.

My hope and my prayer is that the Internet would become like the printing press and that God-fearing people would make full use of it to proclaim God’s truth and also to sound the alarm. I do believe that we have a responsibility to speak out against evil and wickedness and deception when it’s obvious that it’s happening.

Look at the approach that was taken by Grace to You (church) with John MacArthur out there in California. They went along with the shutdowns initially and they said, okay, we’ll close things down. We don’t want to be responsible for harming anybody. But once a few months had passed and it became clear that there was no pandemic, John MacArthur, I think rightly said, “We’re just not going to keep going along with this. This is obviously not really a pandemic.” And so they started having church again and many other churches followed. I’m thankful that we had here in America, somebody like John MacArthur, somebody who had a significant standing and who could be influential across the country. And of course, he was interacting with President Trump as well.

But if you listen to what Sean Penn was saying, when Sean Penn was saying he thought it was a leadership problem, that was obviously, I think he directed at President Trump. And if anything, I think President Trump went along too far with Fauci and these guys. I think he should have resisted them even more. But it was a very, very bad situation.

Who knows what’s going to happen going forward? We need to be in prayer. We need to seek the Lord and just hope and pray that our country doesn’t go into lockdown again. And that’s part of the reason why we’re talking about this, to make people aware of what the issues are. Remember if this deception is from the prince of the power of the air, from the devil, if this is a devilish deception, let’s remember what the scripture says, resist the devil and he will flee from you. Let’s hope that can be the case on any potential, COVID lockdown 2.0.

But when they start talking about things like what we heard Sean Penn say, and he’s not alone in this kind of assertion. There are other people who talk this way, saying that it’s quote “criminal, that you’re not getting vaccinated, that, that you should be forced to stay home. You should not be allowed to work, et cetera.” They’re basically saying your life should be canceled unless you go along with this Covid mandate.

And I have talked about this before. I believe we have biblical wisdom on this. This is to me, this is just like what happened when Nahash the Ammonite we read about in 1 Samuel chapter 11. Let’s just read a few verses here.

It says,

1 Samuel 11:1 Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against Jabeshgilead: and all the men of Jabesh said unto Nahash, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee.

So the men of Jabesh, this is part of Israel, they said to this guy who when he came up against them with his army and he’s threatening them, and they’re going out to him. They’re sending representatives out to say, “Make a covenant with us, make some kind of agreement, and then we’ll serve thee. We’ll be in submission to you.

Verse two:

And Nahash the Ammonite answered them, On this condition will I make a covenant with you, that I may thrust out all your right eyes, and lay it for a reproach upon all Israel.

So Nahash says to the leaders of Israel, “Okay, yeah, we’ll make a covenant. Here’s my condition. I want to be able to thrust out your right eyes.”

Gouge out their right eyes! How horrific!

“And if you let me do that, then I’ll make a covenant. That’ll be the covenant. I want to lay that for a reproach upon all Israel. And then we can be at peace because that’s what the covenant’s going to be. It’s going to be a covenant of peace, right? So we’ll have peace once we get to gouge out all of your eyes, your right eyes.”

Leave them with one eye, but take the right eye. Those are the conditions.

1 Samuel 11:3  And the elders of Jabesh said unto him, Give us seven days’ respite, that we may send messengers unto all the coasts of Israel: and then, if there be no man to save us, we will come out to thee. 4  Then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and told the tidings in the ears of the people: and all the people lifted up their voices, and wept. 5  And, behold, Saul came after the herd out of the field; and Saul said, What aileth the people that they weep? And they told him the tidings of the men of Jabesh. 6  And the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard those tidings, and his anger was kindled greatly. 7  And he took a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the coasts of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done unto his oxen. And the fear of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out with one consent.

So notice what happens. I want to draw attention to verse six because I believe this is the Lord’s response to this kind of tyranny. In verse six it says, “And the spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard those tidings and his anger was kindled greatly. The indignation of this, this wicked declaration from an enemy of Israel, trying to subjugate them and humiliate them and force them to do something that’s going to be a painful and horrible reproach upon them as a form of humiliation to gouge out their eyes.

And notice Saul when the spirit of the Lord comes upon him, he doesn’t suddenly develop this loving attitude toward Nahash the Ammonite and say, “Well, let’s call people together and pray for Nahash” and whatever. That’s not what happens. That’s not what happens at all. There is a sense of wrath and indignation against the wicked that God has. And that doesn’t really change in the New Testament, not when you’re talking about this kind of evil. There’s one thing for people to operate in ignorance, but how could anybody be ignorant? How could Nahash be ignorant about what he’s doing? It is part of the common law that God has written on the hearts of all men, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Read Romans chapter 2. It makes that very clear. Nahash should have known better than to make this kind of demand of the children of Israel.

And so Saul, who was the first king of Israel, he’d really just been anointed a short time earlier and anointed and crowned as king. And there were some people who questioned whether or not he would be able to deliver them from their enemies. So that’s why this conviction is there. And Saul hews the oxen in pieces and says, “Let the men know that if they don’t turn out, this is what’s going to happen to their oxen.” And so then the fear of the Lord came upon the people and they joined together and they supported Saul and what happens? They go into battle, they resist this guy, Nahash the Ammonite and by the grace of God, by the power of God, they prevail. They defeat their wicked enemy.

Now I believe that is how the Lord would have his people to respond to tyranny. I think that when people start quoting, turn the other cheek and love your enemies and stuff like that in situations like this, they are quoting the scriptures out of context. It’s just like when somebody quotes, “Judge not lest ye should be judged” because you rebuke or speak against evil and wickedness. “Oh, Jesus said, judge not lest ye should be judged.” No, you’re quoting scripture out of context. There’s a time and a place for that, but speaking out against evil, that’s not the time to go around saying judge not less should be judged.

So it is when you have this kind of wicked tyranny, this kind of abuse of power, that’s not the time to say, “Oh well, love your enemies and Jesus just wants us to pray for them.” That’s not appropriate. You’re not going to find Jesus doing that anywhere in the New Testament.

Now some people think that that’s what’s going on when He prays from the Cross in Luke 23, and He says, Father forgive them for they know not what they do. When Jesus is praying, He’s praying for those who are ignorant, those who don’t realize what they are doing. He’s not praying for people who are presumptuous and arrogant and who know that what they’re doing is unreasonable and wrong and that they would not want other people to do this to them. The Roman soldiers probably who were crucifying Jesus were just following orders in a sense, just like if we’ve got guys that work at a jail somewhere and somebody’s taken to the jail in handcuffs and they say, “All right, you got to check this guy in.” That might be a completely innocent man, but the jailers don’t know that. They’re, they’re not aware. Their job is just to go put the guy in a cell.

Okay. So that’s the sense of it. Father forgive them for they know not what they do, which is entirely consistent with Numbers chapter 15 in the Old Testament where God says the high priest makes an atonement for those who sin in ignorance. For those who sin in ignorance, an atonement is made, they’re forgiven their sin who sin in ignorance. But the Lord says, “Whosoever doeth of presumption, even that soul shall be utterly cut off” because they have despised the word of the Lord and broken his commandment.

So it’s simply not appropriate to say love your enemies, and this kind of thing in every situation, just like it’s not appropriate to say judge, not unless you be judged in every situation. So we have to consider the whole counsel of God. And it’s important to remember when Jesus said, “Love your enemies”, He said, “love your enemies so that you can be as the sons of your father in heaven, like father, like son. Jesus said, the son can do nothing of himself, but only that which he sees the father doeth. He said, if Abraham were your father, then you would do the works of Abraham.

So the only way that you can love your enemies and be like a child of God is to love your enemies in the same way that God loves his enemies. That’s the only way, in imitation of God. Children typically imitate their Father, but the only way that we can know how God loves His enemies is by searching the Holy Scripture and looking at the examples of how God loves His enemies from Genesis to Revelation. And we have to remember that Jesus said, man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. And that Paul tells us all scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for instruction, for reproof, for doctrine, that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto every good work. So it’s only through an examination of the Holy Scriptures that we can comprehend these things.

Of ourselves, we will fall from one extreme to the other. We’ll either be too harsh and severe or too wishy-washy and too willing to accept evil behavior. Like for example, when you have King Ahab dealing with Benhadad and Benhadad, you know, God wanted him to put Benhadad to death. And rather than put Benhadad to death, Ahab says, “Oh, Benhadad, does he live? He is my brother.” We’re brothers now. Here this was an enemy that had tried to invade the country and to take over Ahab’s kingdom and humiliate him and the people of Israel and had also blasphemed God if you read the account. And God wanted Ahab, King Ahab to put Benhadad to death, but he wouldn’t do it. He wouldn’t execute judgment against him. He wouldn’t use the lawful authority of a magistrate before God to carry out God’s judgment. And so what happened? God sends a prophet who says, Your life shall go for his life, your people for his people because you have let go out of your hand, one whom the Lord had appointed for destruction.

And this is a side of God’s judgments and his expectations for His people that we’ve not examined enough in the 20th and now into the 21st century. Our ancestors examined it, I think, in greater detail. But for whatever reason, in post World War II, America and really throughout the West, everything bends in the direction of excessive toleration, toleration of things that are just evil and wicked. And that form of toleration has now progressed to the point where we have levels of evil and wickedness going on that are being normalized that are just beyond belief. I mean, especially with the schools and what they’re doing with children right now is unbelievable, unbelievable.

You have people who are saying they want abortion rights up to 30 days, a child 30 days out of the womb, up to months out of the womb I’ve heard some people. Say it’s unbelievable! Just wanting to legalize the outright murder of newborn children. And there are people who want to sign this into law. It’s unbelievable, unbelievable. But why? Because I believe God-fearing Christian people in this country since the end of World War II have simply allowed an excessive amount of toleration toward evil, toward outright evil in our country, in our society. And exactly what needs to be done to turn this thing around? Because this is not the first time in history that this has happened. I know some people see and hear these things and they think, “Oh, the world must be getting ready to end any moment.” Not necessarily.

This is what happened in ancient Sodom and Gomorrah. This is what happened when you read the book of Judges and you read about the Benjamites and how the Benjamites had corrupted themselves, where they had gang raped a woman, the Levite’s concubine and raped her to death, killed her. And then all of the other tribes of Israel when they find out about it, they come out against them and they confront them at first and they say, “What is this wickedness that you have done?” But apparently, the Benjamites were so calloused, they’d been so conditioned to do evil that they simply were not willing to accept any accountability for what was obviously an evil, wicked act of murder. And so they chose to fight instead. And of course, it had a catastrophic conclusion to it.

I had somebody send me an email not long ago, one of our listeners was asking me about the story of the Benjamite war and that as a picture of what’s going on in our country. Have we as a country reached the point where licentiousness and excessive toleration for evil has reached the point where, as a nation, we no longer have a population large enough and convicted enough with the righteousness of God to actually do something about the evil that’s happening? I think that my answer to his question would be where our political leaders are concerned, I don’t see any, I’ve said this over and over and over again. How is it that none of our political leaders is willing to go out and actually arrest any of these people who are committing crimes in certain cases, outright crimes for which they should be in jail? And yet we have no magistrates, we have no politicians, we have no one in power who will go out there and place these people under arrest.

I commented on this when Black Lives Matter was burning down the country every day. And I said you’ve got to be kidding. We don’t have anyone, Democrat, Republican, no one who was willing to go out there and hold these people accountable.

And so as Sir Edward Cook, the great man of law who’s responsible for our third and fourth amendment said, quote, “Success in crime always invites to worse deeds. Success in crime always invites to worse deeds.” And that is certainly the case with what is happening in America today. These are getting unfortunately worse and worse.

Now having said that, I’m still not a fatalist. I have to tell you, I’m not a fatalist. I believe that God can raise up men and women to turn this ship around and that there can be a national repentance and we can have a period of reformation or revival, renewal, however, you want to call it, I believe it is possible. I don’t know if it will happen. But I do believe it is possible because, with God, all things are possible. Nothing shall be impossible with God. Praise the Lord.

So I continue with hope for our country and we just have to live one day at a time and do the best we can do to be God’s bright lights upon the earth and to be good citizens of our nation as much as we are able at such a time as this and trust the Lord to guide us. As David says in the scripture, he says, the Lord shall lighten my darkness. And that’s what we’ve got to believe. We’ve got to believe that God will provide us the light that we need when we need it.
