God Is the Judge Part 2: full transcript and answers

▶ 0:01 Now 10 requirements of a judge. This is interesting. And this is where our constitution failed us. There’s no requirement of character to be a politician in our constitution. That’s where the constitution came up short. Number one, Exodus 18:21, fear God. Now, how many remember what fear God is? Depart from evil and hate evil. Say it. Hate evil. Depart from evil. The Bible says that’s the fear of God. Always use your Bible definitions. See, when I fear God, I will depart from evil. I not only will depart from it, but like Noah who hated evil and Job hated evil.

▶ 0:53 They despised it. How many could use a little dose of hatred for sin? Yeah. So you don’t do it. Yeah. Now number two, they got to be men of truth. People of truth. See, not feelings, not emotions, not opinion, but truth. And they got to hate covetousness, the desire for something that’s not yours. To where you get it. You see, you desire somebody else’s spouse and you do whatever is necessary to get it. That’s covetousness. You desire your neighbor’s car. You don’t work, get an education to buy one, so you go steal it. That’s covetousness.

▶ 1:45 And judges cannot covet. In Deuteronomy 1:16. Number four, you got to judge rightly. All right? And you got to treat everybody the same. The small, the great, your brother, your family member, your church member, the stranger, the foreigner, they all got to abide by the same law. And that means if I live in Mexico and I come to America illegally, I have to be dealt with by the law. Just like if an American did something illegally, but not our Congress.

▶ 2:40 Now, I know the Mexicans don’t appreciate this, but let me tell you, it’s the truth. And you go to Mexico illegally and see what happens. We just got a bunch of pansy congress people. That’s all. You know what they should do is make laws where these people can come in legally with dignity and work. Hallelujah. That’s just an example. No respecter of persons in judgment. And let me tell you something. When our chaplain in the military cannot stand up for the Bible because of the homosexuals, that’s respecter of persons.

▶ 3:37 And that’s not a cultural war. Bill O’Reilly’s got that one wrong, too. It is a Bible and Jesus war. They’re trying to get rid of the Bible and they’re trying to get rid of Jesus. And O’Reilly uses it culture. I hate that. It’s not a culture war. They’re totally against the Bible and Jesus Christ who is for right Bible morality. Can I hear an amen? And see, we let them tame us with their thinking. A culture war. Cultural war. What’s a cultural war? It’s a Bible war. It’s a Jesus war. They don’t like Jesus and they don’t like the Bible. You will not be afraid of the face of men, these small and great, for the judgment is the Lord’s.

▶ 4:29 And this is why a lot of people won’t judge. Like you get a rich man or a politician, they get away with things, don’t they? And a judge can’t be afraid of their stature. They can’t be afraid of their position. They can’t be afraid of their money. They can’t be afraid because they’re [unclear] and going to kill their family and everything else if we judge them. A judge has to be strong and do what’s right no matter what the threat or repercussions are. Wow. Well, if I correct my child, he won’t like me anymore. Well, it’s tough, isn’t it? So, I let my child be a bird brain because I don’t want him not liking me.

▶ 5:23 See, it’s in the family. Hallelujah. Well, if I really discipline him, he’ll run away. That’s his choice. I’m going to water down what he needs to learn because I’m afraid of him running away. Hallelujah. Are you there folks? You judge. See, parents have got to learn this stuff. We go to Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 19:5. Jehoshaphat judges over the people and he gave him qualifications.

▶ 6:14 Take heed. Be alert. Be attentive and get your homework done. Know the laws. Be cautious. All right. And then he repeats the fear of the Lord. He said, ‘There’s no injustice with God. God is never unfair. What’s good for men is good for women. What’s good for whites is good for blacks. What’s good for poor is good for rich. Judgment is never unfair. Hallelujah. See, Catholic or Protestant, you’re not excused because you’re a Catholic and they believe certain things that you can’t use that excuse.

▶ 7:12 You go to heaven and tell them you worship Mary because the Catholic Church told you to. You’re not going to have a response. There’s no talking back up there. There’s no blaming anyone else. Are you there? There isn’t a Catholic Bible and a Protestant Bible and a Jewish Bible and a Mexican Bible and an African Bible. There’s one Bible. Amen. There’s that no respect of persons again. No taking bribes. I’ve been to court several times and I’ve saw lawyers giving judges cases of liquor tickets to uh you know sport events and so forth.

▶ 8:15 How many you know that’s a bribe? Hallelujah. I’ve been in the business world and I watched it. Business giving people things to get them to buy their product and order their product. That’s a bribe. You should get a product because it’s the best on the market for the best price, not because someone is giving you something. Are you there? Disc jockeys on the radio are paid to play certain songs. That’s wrong. Now number 10.

▶ 9:06 Warn them. Warn them to trespass not against the Lord so wrath come upon you. Now let that soak in. One of the characteristic, one of the requirements for a judge is to warn the people to not sin against God because if the judge doesn’t deal with it, God’s going to deal with you. God’s wrath is going to come on. It was their job to warn the people. So, they were to persuade, teach, and warn, right? Amen. Hallelujah. Isn’t that interesting? You see, Jesus summed it up when he says, “Love your enemies.” Yes, there are people that oppose us.

▶ 9:59 Yes, there’s people that oppose Bible morality. And we are to contend with them and fight with them, but at the same time, we are to what? Persuade them, warn them, and teach them to avoid that judgment of God. That’s the balance of it. Hallelujah. Now, illustration. David the king got caught up in pride, wanted to number Israel, didn’t get God’s permission. And this is a little sin. This is not a big one.

▶ 10:50 And so he had Joab to go take the census without the census offering. God told him when you take a census, you everybody has to pay a census offering. Okay? And Joab told David, “Don’t, you know, this is prideful. Don’t do it.” And Joab wasn’t a good man. But he knew this was wrong. How many you know, some some people can be wrong in other areas and be right in some areas. Yeah. And Joab tried to get David not to do it. And David wouldn’t listen. But instead of Joab going and trying to persuade the people, he just obeyed David and went and numbered the people. And about 3/4 of the way through, God decided this is it. And he sent a plague, an angel. And David, of course, repented and all that.

▶ 11:45 And he had three choices. And David chose the plague because he knew God was merciful. But 70,000 people died by the plague. It was the first mad cows disease. It was a cow plague. Came from the cows. And the scientists would say, “God has nothing to do with this. It’s just, you know, these cows are carrying a disease. We got to kill all the cows and we got to cure the disease and all that.” No, no, no. God, them cows had that. Them cows were there before. But when God wants to do something, he can use anything he wants, can’t he? So 70,000 people died. Now, was God unjust? No. They violated the law.

▶ 12:38 He’s doing his job. Whose fault that 70,000 people died here? Mankind not doing their job to judge. The people didn’t correct David. They could have corrected David. They just went along. In fact, they were worshiping idols anyway. Now, example number two, we go to Manasseh in 2 Kings 21. He seduced enticed the people to sin more than the nations that the Lord destroyed before them. And God said, ‘I’m going to bring such evil on Jerusalem and Judah that the ears of it that the hearers of it, both ears shall tingle. I will deliver them into the hands of their enemy.

▶ 13:28 And so God punished them with war, famine, and captivity, banishment. Now, was he unjust? No. He waited 400 years to do this, trying to get them. He’d sent prophets and everything else and they would not listen. So he dealt with the whole group. And you learned a few months ago that Daniel was a righteous boy and he got taken captive because of the forefather’s sin. Hallelujah. Amen. Now look at this. This is how powerful the people are. We go to King Saul. 1st Samuel 14.

▶ 14:20 King Saul made a stupid law. Nobody eats any food until the enemy is destroyed. Till the sun goes down and the enemy is destroyed. Jonathan comes in, sees a honeycomb, and he dips his sword in honey and eats the honey and got strong. How many you know back then you didn’t shoot people. You had to sword fight with them and throw spears and and and you actually moved in a rank and the the guys behind were always pushing the guy in front of them forward and when he fell they just stepped on him and they were the front rank. So they were always using energy. Are you there? And the guy behind them was pushing him and the guy behind him was pushing him. And on the other side you got the other side doing the same thing. Now, how you know you need some food when you exercise that kind of sin. So Saul says, “Nobody can eat.” That’s dumb. So Jonathan ate and Saul’s going to have him executed and the people go, “Hey, Jonathan’s the one brought this great victory.” The people rescued Jonathan from Saul and his bad laws.

▶ 15:26 And listen to me. I’ve been to court several times. I’ve been to court for religious liberties and personal liberties. The opposition will always use Romans 13. Obey them that have the rule over you. And I have to tell them the finishing of that verse. I said, do you know what the rest of the verse says? It says that the leader rulers are there to punish the evildoer and praise the good. You’re punishing good. I don’t obey that. And that’s what the people did. They said, “No, this law is a bad law, Saul. You can’t take and kill Jonathan because you made a bad law.” Same king.

▶ 16:23 You notice the people here is white with an underline. Okay. Same king was sent out to destroy Agag. And everything there, women, children, cows, everything was to be destroyed. King Saul won the battle and then didn’t follow out. Didn’t follow through. And so when Samuel the prophet came, he said, “I’ve sinned because I feared and obeyed the people.” Now, those people are in red. Why? They’re on the wrong side of the track. See, they want to disobey God. They want to violate Bible morals. They didn’t want to see Agag and all everybody killed and the and uh the spoils given to God and all this.

▶ 17:20 Are you there? Now in America, we got two kinds of people. And sadly, the majority of Americans now are against Bible morality. It’s been proven to us in the last two elections and especially in the last one. And we got to confront it. We got to live with it. And we got to do something to be a source of changing America’s thinking. Can I hear an amen? See? Hallelujah. Matthew 12:12. They sought to arrest Jesus, the Pharisees, the temple leaders. They wanted to arrest Jesus. They wanted to kill him.

▶ 18:11 But they didn’t do anything here because they what? Feared the people. These people are in white. Why? Because these people are for Christ and Bible morality. Amen. And the leaders were afraid of them. See what unity will do. Now, same book, same Jesus. Matthew 15:15, Pilate wanting to please the people. What people? The people that didn’t like Jesus, didn’t like Bible morality. A small group there.

▶ 19:08 They released Barabbas, a criminal, and beat and crucified Jesus. You see how powerful the people are? Do you see that the people could have rose up in David’s time and said, “David, you’re doing wrong. You can’t take the census without an offering.” And they could have saved the plague. But instead, we would rather elect officials and then blame them. Well, King David brought this on us. Yes, but you could have stood up and said no and changed that bad law. Am I talking to the right people today? Hallelujah. You young believers, are you learning something? This is important stuff.

▶ 20:00 This is very important stuff because I got to live in my daily life until Jesus comes or I die. I’ve got to live from Monday to Saturday. I can’t just be in a utopia on Sunday morning in the presence of God and the word of God and be satisfied. I’ve got to be making an impact on the world around me. How do the right and the wicked grow together? Are you interested in this one? How can this be? Okay, you ready? Number one, when the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice. Now, the people’s underlined in white. What people are they? The people for Jesus and Bible morality. Are you listening to me out there?

▶ 20:56 All right, the people rejoice. So what kind of leaders do we need? How do we live together? We need righteous leaders. Leaders that stand for justice and what is right. Can I hear an amen? And when you do that, the righteous are going to rejoice. Now, the other red people aren’t going to because they want to sin. They want to do wrong and they want it okay. So, they’re going to be complaining. They’re going to be having their blind pigs and speakeasies and doing things in secret, but that’s where they should be doing them in secret in darkness, not publicly. Can I hear an amen? Number two, when the wicked rule, the people mourn. Now, you see white and red mixed.

▶ 21:48 So, it’s both the righteous people and the immoral people. Now, why are the immoral people going to mourn? Because they got unrighteous leaders approving of what they’re doing. What are they going to mourn about? God coming and judging them. Yeah. Bringing plagues and diseases and things and Yeah. Are you there, church? Hallelujah. Now, Proverbs 28:28, when the wicked arise, that means arise to power. When they’re in office, men hide. Okay, I could use the word people because it’s not masculine there as a man. It’s people hide. Okay? So, when it’s underlined and it’s white, who are they talking about?

▶ 22:41 The people that stand for Bible morality and Jesus, they got to hide. Didn’t Jesus say when they persecute you in one city, flee to another? Yeah. And folks, if we don’t change things, you’re the our generation behind us old folks is going to experience this hiding thing. If you think they’re going to stop at just banishing the Bible from public places and Jesus’s name from public places, you better get another thought coming, it is a downward trend that gets worse. When they perish, when who perishes? The wicked. The righteous increase. So when the foundations are removed, the Bible says, “What shall the righteous do?” The righteous has to find a way to get rid of the wicked.

▶ 23:48 But I pray about that. I don’t care what you pray about. If you really are hearing from God in prayer, he’s going to get you to rise up and do something about it. We got to get rid of unrighteous rulers. Hallelujah. And this is what’s wrong in America. The church has been dumbed down by faith and grace and a lot of other stuff distracting us from Bible morality to where we allow people to live in open sin without even challenging them. God loves you. God loves you. Now, that’s the second thing we do to grow together.

▶ 24:43 When the scorner is punished, the simple, the foolish is made wise. Now, what’s one of the problems in America? Nobody’s really getting punished. They’re getting a slap on the hand. So, what everybody’s doing wrong, and now we’re just acclimatized to people doing wrong. Nobody sees anything wrong with doing wrong. So we got to punish the scorner, the mocker of Bible morality and violating it. It says it again in Romans 13, punish the evildoer and praise the good doer. Who are the gooddoers? Underline white Bible morality people. Jesus people. You can’t separate those two. Proverbs 21:12, the righteous God, number five, the righteous God, now get this, takes note, of the house of the wicked and brings the wicked to ruin.

▶ 25:50 So when we’ve done everything we’ve can to remove the wicked and nothing is working, what’s God going to do? He’s going to show up and deal with them. Isn’t that comforting? You study history and watch the nations fall. And the Bible says he sets up nations and he tears down nations. People can use illustrations all they want. Why so and so fell, Hitler fell, and all the rest. God brings the nations down. He used the wars to do it. Now, there’s a big debate about guns. Right now, our Constitution gives us the right to bear arms.

▶ 26:47 And if you know why, you would never allow arm control. In the Declaration of Independence, we are given arms, the freedom of arm to overthrow a bad government. See, so arms isn’t there for the criminal. Arms are there not only for the criminal to protect us from wicked people, but protect us from Obama and those people that want to take our nation the wrong way. And let me give you proof. Second world war, Germany with their paratroopers, their blitz and their sophisticated armor just totally overran. France, Spain, Finland, just like that.

▶ 27:42 Yugoslavia, bam, bam, bam, bam. So what did the resistance in the nations do? They took their guns, went to the hills, and came in when the Germans were their weakest, would kill them, take their arms, take their food, and run back to the hills until finally they were armed almost as good as the Germans. But they started with their local home arms. Are you there? The military of France and Finland and Yugoslavia couldn’t stop them. But the resistance, even when the Germans would kill 10 village people for every one German soldier, they would not cave in.

▶ 28:38 That’s how much they wanted freedom. That’s how much they wanted to deal with this wicked Hitler. Are you there? Now, that’s the kind of backbone Christians need. We don’t cave in. We got to stand up. We got to warn them. And we got to what? Persuade them. And we got to what? Teach them to turn from wickedness and do right. And do everything in our power to bring a nation to a right government, right laws, and dealing with wickedness. And if it means costing us our home, our house, our fortune, and all the rest like our forefathers, somewhere the church has got to get a backbone and not hide behind worship and prayer and praise and all these things that we’re hiding behind in America, psychology.

▶ 29:42 We need to stand up for Bible morality and Jesus Christ the the fulfillment of Bible morality. Amen. He’s the icon of Bible morality. In closing, Isaiah 5:20. Woe to them that call evil good and good evil. Is that what they’re doing in America today? Huh? Aren’t they saying homosexuality is okay when it’s not? Aren’t they saying it’s okay to use abortion as a contraceptive to kill innocent kids when it’s not? Yes. Is it wrong to call the Bible a book of BS and myths when the Bible says it’s a book of truth? Yeah. See, they’re calling evil good and good evil.

▶ 30:37 Woe to them that are wise in their own eyes. Aren’t they wise in their own opinion? Yeah, that’s their opinion. And their opinion violates God. Woe to them are mighty to drink wine and liquor and justify the wicked for reward bribes. They take away the morality of the righteous from him. Didn’t they do that when they took Jesus and the Bible out of public school and public places? They took our morality. Now listen, they say you can’t legislate Bible morality, but it’s okay for the atheists and the homosexuals to legislate their morality. Come on, folks. Are we that dumb? But God says, “As fire devours the stubble and chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness and their blossom as dust.” He is going to bring judgment on them.

▶ 31:30 He just takes time. They cast away the law of the Lord and despise his word. Isn’t that what they’re doing? The anger of the Lord is kindled against these people. He stretches forth his hand against them and smites them. Bible morality persuades, warns, and teaches immoral people.
