SERMON - ARROGANCE AND THE FUTURE

 Arrogance
And
The Future
 
 
We have seen the arrogance of nations that sought to go directly against God.

If you recall the Scripture that sets forth the Tower of Babel you recall the anger God expressed at the arrogance of the men that sought to erect a monument to their own accomplishments. God meted out His punishment by having confusion be the ‘order of the day’ as He confounded man by establishing the many languages spoken this very day.
 
Genesis 11: 6 The LORD said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other."
 
The words, “nothing they plan will be impossible for them,” bear special meaning.
 
Currently, as well as in the past, there is a movement to establish what is known as ‘The One World Order.’ This movement is hardly something God would condone as it seeks to establish a ‘caste system’ thereby allowing certain men of holdings to determine the numbers of populations, the dispersal of foodstuffs, the wealth of any other than themselves and the conditions that will govern any other than themselves.
 
The leader of the people that sought to erect the Tower of Babel was Nimrod. The definition of the word/name Nimrod is ‘rebel.’
 
Nimrod, a descendant of Noah, sought to make himself an equal to God by building the Tower of Babel so high as to deny God the right to drown him with another great flood such as befell the sinners that perished in days past. He sought to fulfill the very meaning of his name as he rebelled against God.
 
It was Nimrod that actually sought to create a, ‘New World Order,’ with him being the one in power.
 
Just as the Pharaohs, Darius, Artaxerces, Cyrus, Alexander (the Great) Nebuchadnezzar the Caesars and hundreds since Biblical Days, Hitler, Stalin and like minded men included, Nimrod sought to rule over not only the lives of man but over their hearts and minds as well.
 
Just as the Leaders of the Jewish religion joined forces with the Roman Empire to see to the death of Jesus Christ so as to enslave the masses, religions have sought to join forces with tyrannical governments to ensure their own existence. Careful research reveals the complicity of religions as they, ‘looked the other way,’ as the Holocaust was taking place.
 
Currently we see a movement to establish a, ‘ One World Church ,’ thereby allowing every established religion to have a say in all matters pertaining to religion. This is contrary to what God wants for His children.
 
God does not want any religion to govern man. It is His desire that man turn to Him for any and every need. He warned Israel of the many problems to be encountered in naming a king over their lives.
 
I Samuel 8:  6 But when they said, "Give us a king to lead us," this displeased Samuel; so he prayed to the LORD. 7 And the LORD told him: "Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king
 
At the direction of our Lord Samuel warned Israel of the treatments to be expected in naming a king over their lives.
 
1 Samuel 8: 11 He said, "This is what the king who will reign over you will do: He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots and horses, and they will run in front of his chariots. 12 Some he will assign to be commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and still others to make weapons of war and equipment for his chariots. 13 He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers. 14 He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants. 15 He will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants. 16 Your menservants and maidservants and the best of your cattle and donkeys he will take for his own use. 17 He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves. 18 When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, and the LORD will not answer you in that day." 
 
Today we see the results of having named a king as well as a national leader other than God.
 
We also must consider God’s Word as it pertains to our obeying our government.
 
Matthew 22: 21"…  Then he said to them, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's."  
 
 When America was established the basis of reasoning behind statutes governing religion were written to deny a religious domination by a state religion. The citizens would not and could not be forced to financially support or join a particular church and were protected from being required to support churches and institutions  they deemed to be offensive to their spiritual convictions.
 
All of this changed as political leaders enacted higher taxes and an errant judiciary wrongfully ruled that those taxes must support religions that prayed to Satan, other gods as well as institutions that were not only offensive to men but were being foisted off as necessary for the national values of America.
 
Ephesians 6: 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
 
We must come to the realization that there is but one leader of the world and that one is God Himself. Any other would be leaders that espouse One World Order can be correctly viewed as demonic and controlled by Satan himself!
 
You may think that this sermon is a political message meant to sway you into a way of thought or philosophy you don’t wish to learn about. To the contrary I point out simple and meaningful thoughts.
 
There is but ONE God and there is no other. Yahweh is His name.
 
If God desires a One World Order He will establish such but will do that at a time He chooses not at a time any man decides.
 
When God does install a One World Order it will be led by Jesus Christ and not by any human.
 
Any world leader that is so pretentious as to seek to install himself as a ruler over the hearts and minds of men is doomed to failure! Arrogance, which is pride, will ultimately be their downfall.
 
1 John 2: 18Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour.
 
I listed that name of men, who in Biblical times, can be seen as antichrists. I could name Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini and a few others, but to do so would not set forth the warning I seek to divulge. All you need do to identify the Nimrods seeking to lead is to read the newspapers or watch television. To identify the demonic followers of these antichrists is to listen or read the names of the men and women that support their One World Order views and legislation.
 
To set forth the views of a known Pastor, Chuck Baldwin, I set forth the following:
 
"If you are: pro-life, Christian, anti-Illegal Immigration, speak out against higher taxation, question the rights of politicians to set forth their personal views ahead of the People they are elected by, then you are UNWANTED in their world!"

The greatest mistake made by those that support any that would rule God's world is, 'It is not theirs to rule, it is only by God's grace do they even draw breath; it is His world!'
 
In closing I ask that each of you search your heart and determine the depth of your personal commitment to God. It is He that will make the decision as to your life with Him. It IS NOT the decision of any man, no matter his earthly position, as to your eternal life. Decide to either bow to the will of man or to the WILL of GOD!
 
(Closing prayer)
 
Almighty God, Abba, we come to You with songs of praises in our hearts and worship of You in our souls. We are Your children and see You as our King, our Lord and One that fulfills our every need. We have no need of any but You.
 
Lord we are beset by man in high offices who want to rule our every move. Where You have given free choice they seek to impose their choices upon us. Where You have given us freedom they seek to deny us of the right to worship as we see fit. Where You give life they allow it to be taken without impunity. You forewarned us of the things we could expect in straying from You and to having a king rule over us. Lord, reenter our lives and set us free from the impositions west upon us by those who will not see You as their God.

Father, we are witnessing the horrors of radical Islamists as the torture and kill men and women that are Your children. We ask that You comfort those Christians and Jews and strengthen them in their faith in You.

 Lord, as our El Gibbor, we ask that You strengthen each of us and as Yahweh Saobaoth, King of the angels, send forth an army to protect all Christians worldwide. Allow us the leaders that we may follow in battle, be it spiritual or physical..

Father we also ask that You protect our military, those charged with our nation’s safety and keep them from harm. Watch over Your children and keep them from evil.
 
We pray these things in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who is One with You and The Holy Spirit, One God in Three Persons, forever and ever,
 
Amen, amen and amen.
