with meaning as he takes you on a chapter by chapter verse by verse study of God's letter to you the Bible and now here is pastor Dennis Murray good day to you god bless you welcome to shepherd's chapel welcome to this family Bible study our ready to get back into our father's word here at the chapel we invite you to get your Bible and join us if you care to we're gonna pick it up today with first Kings chapter 10 verse 24 and we're nearing the end of Solomon's reign and as I mentioned in our last lecture it seems like he and David both that the first half of their reign things kept going better and better and better but then the last half of their reign things started going south and Solomon becomes involved with idolatry due to the floor and women that he was bringing into Jerusalem and God appeared to Solomon twice not once but twice and and I kind of liken that to the people of Israel when God brought them out of Egypt and they saw the Red Sea part with their own eyes they witnessed the manna and they ate the manna from heaven and still they didn't believe God and that kind of like and as I started to say Solomon to that he saw or heard the Lord in that dream not once but twice but still he allowed himself to get sidetracked to lose focus on what was really important and with that introduction we have the visit from the Queen of Sheba she was really impressed with Solomon Solomon was really impressed with her and they gave each other a lot of great gifts and she headed home but and then the last part of chapter 10 where we're gonna pick it up today it's kind of a summary if you will of Solomon's riches and God promised Solomon in Chapter three that because he didn't ask for something for himself when God asked him you know ask what you will of me that's that's that's pretty awesome or Heavenly Father offering whatever you want ask and Solomon asked for wisdom that he could rule and judge so great a people as Israel and because he wasn't selfish at that point because he asked for something that would help the nation not himself God promised him wealth beyond his wildest dreams and we're kind of seeing a summary of that as we pick it up today so let's asked that word of wisdom and Jesus precious name father we ask you to open eyes open ears this day let's go with first Kings chapter 10 verse 24 and it reads and all the earth sought to Solomon to hear his wisdom which God had put in his heart in his mind and you know the wisdom of man compared to the wisdom of God is nothing and I think people realized that Solomon had a god-given gift and you can tell the difference between wisdom from our Heavenly Father and the wisdom of a man and people came to seek out that wisdom 25 and they brought every man his present vessels of silver and vessels of gold and garments and armor and spices horses and mules a rate year by year meaning annually they brought these gifts and these are still to this day customary gifts in the East verse 26 and Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen this would be horses with the rider cavalry in other words whom he bestowed in the cities for chariots and with the king of Jerusalem and got up to this point had given Israel peace on every border during the building of the temple and the various other projects that Solomon had all the building is over they're still enjoying peace on every border but Solomon realized that sometimes the best defense is the ability to carry a big stick in other words keeping the military up positioning them and keep as he lo k shion's around the nation so that they could be near a border if they were attacked by another country another nation verse 27 and the king made silver check out this word made in the Hebrew it's gave and I'm gonna say it that way and the King gave silver to be in Jerusalem as stones and Cedars made he to be as the sycamore trees that are in the Vail for abundance enormous collection of precious metals and wood came to Solomon year by year and you know that he gave silver like stones that's like rocks and I don't know where you live but here in Arkansas we have lots of rocks and if you had a field full of rocks or silver for a hit a clump of silver for every rock you had you'd have a lot of silver because there are a lot of rocks in Arkansas verse 28 and Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt and linen yarn the King's merchants received the linen yarn at a price a couple things on this verse in Deuteronomy chapter 17 God gave a list of things that the king of Israel should do and things that a king of Israel should not do verse 16 of Deuteronomy 17 God instructs that a king of Israel shall not multiply horses unto himself especially don't go back to Egypt to get your horses why him because God freed them from bondage to the Egyptians and he did not want them going back to Egypt this last phrase really loses it poor translation the linen yarn if you take it back to the original languages it's like a string and what this is saying is that when they went to get horses from Egypt they brought them back strung together with a line of rope in other words they brought them back in droves would be a good way to say it and then this was a prosperous business for those who were supplying Solomon's desire for horses and a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver now this would be a chariot with two or three horses you have some chariots that were made for a three horse team and some for a two horse team and in horse just a single horse in other words without the chariot for an hundred and fifty shekels of silver all add and so for all the kings of the Hittites and for the kings of Syria did they bring them out by their means by their hand in other words and I don't know if Solomon thought well okay yes I'm familiar with Deuteronomy 1716 and I know God forbids the king of Israel from multiplying horses and going back to Egypt well maybe if I have the kings of the Hittites and the kings of the Syrians go to Egypt and bring the horses back to me maybe God would wink at it well he's not going to wink at it and all of these peoples were they supported Solomon and obviously they liked doing business with him now in Chapter 11 we come to Solomon's weakness his weakness for the ladies and particularly foreign women and that became his downfall let's go with chapter 11 verse 1 but King Solomon loved many strange women together or beside with the daughter of Pharaoh women of the moabites ammonites zidonians and Hittites the three w's that Solomon was really impressed with wealth weapons and women especially foreign heathen women now the strange in this verse doesn't mean that the women that he liked were of strange behavior it means that they were foreign and that's exactly what this is talking about now Moab as most of you know Ammon and the were all Adamic peoples Moab and Ammon were the sons of lot and they were indeed a lot of course being the nephew to Abraham so we're definitely talking Adamic peoples here but they were still heathens they they practiced and worshiped God's with a small G other than Yahoo Vey now the cydonia pnes and hip tights that's even worse the Hittites were one of the Canaanite eesh people's one of the tribes of Canaanites these are people that God instructed Israel when you go into the Promised Land you're to wipe them out completely annihilate them why because if you give your daughters to their sons to wife and you take their daughters to your sons to wife you're going to end up worshiping their gods boy did God know what he was talking about verse 2 of the nation's concerning which the Lord said unto the children of Israel you shall not go into them again deuteronomy chapter 7 Exodus chapter 34 verse 16 also neither shall they come in unto you this means you're not to give them in marriage and children be the result for surely they will turn your heart or your mind after their gods Solomon clave unto those in love deuteronomy chapter 4 verse 4 the Lord wanted us to cleave to him Solomon is busy forgetting about God and he's cleaving to the foreign women instead verse 3 and he had seven hundred wives can you imagine that is mind-boggling 700 wives princesses and 300 concubines and his wives turned away his heart turned his heart away from serving God you know the convey the promises that God made to Solomon when he appeared to him on those two occasions in a dream were conditional they were conditional upon Solomon's faithfulness and his fidelity to do things God's Way and Solomon is failing the the test he does he's not doing things God's Way and as we're gonna see not only did he like the foreign women he started worshipping their gods for it came to pass when Solomon was old lived in the law of the land a long time he began to forget God's grace that his wives turned away his heart after other gods note the small G big trouble on the horizon with the Lord his God as was the heart of David his father now David of course was not faultless altogether but he was faultless when it comes to worshiping the Lord not once did David fall away and become unfaithful to his his God Yahweh the God of heaven and earth Solomon not so much verse 5 for Solomon went or walked after ashteroth the goddess of the zidonians and after milcom the abomination of the ammonites milcom the same as Molech in fact when we get to verse 7 the god will be called Molech ashteroth this is called Ishtar by the Assyrians and this was the Phoenician goddess of fertility and you know we have each star was the the name from which Easter comes from today so if you think we don't do like Solomon in some cases in the case of Easter where you have people chasing bunny rabbits in the groves and having egg hunts the bunny rabbit and the eggs all symbols of fertility just as Ishtar the Phoenician goddess of love and fertility verse 5 we got that let's go a6 and Solomon did evil in the sight of the Lord and went not fully after the Lord as did David his father and you know as I'm studying God's Word I often make myself stop and and really meditate consider what is the lesson that God would have us learn from this because all of these things did happen as in samples 1st Corinthians chapter 10 verse 11 brings that to - to documentation that God gives us these incest in samples or examples as an admonition a warning for you for those in the last days as it states there in 1st Corinthians chapter 10 verse 11 you know Solomon was a good king the first half of his reign but then he fell away what's what's the lesson that God would have us learn from that and I think it's to stay focused you know on God in His Word don't take your eye off of the ball if you do if you're one of God's election losing focus taking your eye off of the ball could lead you to commit the unforgivable sin and that's very very serious that could cost you your very soul and I'm talking about the death of the second death of Revelation chapter 20 verse 7 then did Solomon build in high place this is a place to worship for kemar the abomination of Moab in the hill that is for Jerusalem and for Molech the abomination of the children of ammon Molech the God that required people to pass their children through the fire in other words they burned their children alive and sacrifice to Molech ki mosh the Sun God of the Moabites the ammonites also worshipped this God who has identified with bale P or in numbers chapter 25 the Moabites led Israel into idolatry with bale P or their the hill that is before Jerusalem referring of course to the Mount of Olives which was called the Mount of corruption due to Solomon did there in second Kings chapter 23 verse 13 all over the Temple Mount he allowed these foreign women to set up little altars to their gods small G it gets worse verse 8 and likewise did he for all his strange wives which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods small G and the Lord was angry with Solomon because his heart was turned from the Lord God of Israel which had appeared unto him twice warned him in person twice if you want blessings then you do your my commandments follow my command let's walk my way not your way not the way of the gods of the ammonites and the Moabites and the Hittites and the zygonians I want you to check out this word angry in verse nine it's a Nath in the Hebrew and if you'd only of divine anger and it specifically means an anger that is forced on someone that you love you know Solomon David named his son Solomon God had another name for him in second samuel chapter 12 verse 25 the prophet Nathan came and said you know because of what God had said that he loved Solomon his name is Jedediah which means beloved of yah verse 10 and had commanded him concerning this thing that he should not go after other gods but he kept not that which the LORD commanded and you know this had to hurt God's feelings he had done so much for Solomon first of all some choosing him to be the king of the most powerful nation on earth at the time giving him wisdom that no one could compare to no man could compare wisdom with Solomon riches upon riches the the silver like rocks in Jerusalem nothing was was that couldn't be made out of gold they drank cups out of cups made of pure gold Solomon compromised he compromised with these foreign women's gods and I encourage you as a lakh take a lesson from this that you're not going to compromise that that there is no other God other than Yahweh and we're gonna remain loyal to him no matter what happens we're not going to compromise verse 11 wherefore the Lord said unto Solomon for as much as this is done of thee and thou has not kept my covenant and my statutes which I have commanded thee I will surely run the kingdom from thee and will give it to thy servant and indeed this will come to pass if we don't get to it today it will certainly will cover it tomorrow and there's a young Ephraim ight by the name of Jeroboam who is a servant he was part of the levy the forced labour of the ten tribes of Israel who were working on building completing the wall around me low in the Temple Mount he is the servant that God has chosen to take ten of the tribes of Israel a split in the nation is on the horizon verse twelve notwithstanding in thy days God continues addressing Solomon I will not do it for David thy father's sake but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son and his son's name Rehoboam and some might say well the sounds like you know God is punishing Rehoboam for the sins of Solomon and you teach that God doesn't carry a grudge against the children for the sins of the fathers the father's are not judged by the sins of the children the children are not judged by the sins of the father you see Rehoboam will have an opportunity to make things turn out differently than what they did he did not accept the opportunity as we'll see as we work our way through the next several chapters verse 13 howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom but will give one tribe to thy son for David my servants sake and excuse me and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen here we see the split Judah will remain it said one tribe Benjamin as we'll see in the next lecture remains with Judah and then you have the ten tribes to the and here solomon has forfeited his grace grace is unmerited favor God's blessings that we really don't deserve but he gives to us anyway solomon has forfeited his grace any grace that he had coming his way with the idolatry verse 14 and the Lord stirred up an adversary who stirred up an adversary the Lord Jehovah stirred up an adversary unto Solomon hey Dad the Edomite he was of the Kings seed in Edom now Edom of course is missed most of you know descendants from Esau and what happened was David defeated the and Joab the general of the armies of Israel under David partially accomplished the prophecy of Numbers chapter 24 verses 18 and 19 that Edom would be basically exterminated Joab killed a lot of the male who were capable of making war and capable of reproducing children hey dad would be one who escaped to Egypt will learn over the next several verses where it came to pass when David was in Edom and Joab the captain of the host was gone up to buried the slain probably the slain of Israel that died in the war after he had smitten every male in Edom and not every male and Edom was killed obviously why because hey Dad was not killed so I think this was probably more of fighting aged men were were exterminated younger boys as hey Dad was some of them managed to escape verse 16 for six months did Jo Abram in there with all Israel until he had cut off every male in Edom I think this probably means in that specific area and again it's focusing on those capable of waging war verse 17 that hey Dad fled he and certain of his father servants with him to go into Egypt hey dad being yet a little child and no doubt when he learned that David was dead and his perception was that the nation was weakened by that no doubt he is as he grew up and became a man he became thirsty for vengeance now don't get lost here we're gonna back up to and we're gonna be talking about when hey Dad was a youth and fled to Egypt verse 18 and they arose out of mead and this is where hey Dad and those that traveled with them originally fled and came to Quran Quran as a desert between Sinai and southern Canaan or southern Israel which Canaan became and they took men with them out of Paran they hired guides to get them safely across the desert if you take off across the desert and didn't know what you were doing you very possibly went end up dead and they came to Egypt unto Pharaoh king of Egypt which gave him an house and appointed him victuals and gave him land he was taken care of very well by Pharaoh much as a young Hebrew would be well cared for his name Joseph verse 19 and hey dad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh no doubt God caused this to happen so that he gave him to wife the sister of his own wife the sister of Taftan is the queen well I mean the sister-in-law that's getting pretty close to family and the sister of Taftan is bear him Ganu bath canoe bath means theft if you translate it no doubt hey Dad thinking that Israel has stolen his homeland his son whom Taftan is weaned in Pharaoh's house and ganoub oath was in Pharaoh's household among the sons of Pharaoh I mean right up there in the big house what this is saying is that the son of hey Dad received all of the benefits and care that Pharaoh's sons received that was sparing nothing you can you can be sure 21 and when hey Dad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers and that Joab the captain of the host was dead hey Dad said to Pharaoh let me depart that I may go to my own country again he's sensing that Israel is weak at this point and he wants to go and get vengeance for what the Israelites did to the his own family members many of them and stealing his homeland is what the way he looked at it verse 22 when Pharaoh said unto Him but what has they lacked with me that behold thou seekest to go to thine own country and he answered nothing I mean after all he gave him a house he gave him land he gave him his own wife sister and he took care of his sons as his own sons and he answered hey Dad answered Pharaoh nothing howbeit let me go in any wise in other words Pharaoh was saying you know what more could I possibly do for you and hey Dad said hey I'm not planing I just want to go home and and earn fight for getting my land back verse 23 and God stirred him up another adversary who stirred him up God stirred up another adversary resin the son of Elijah which fled from his Lord how to desert king of zobo this again we saw first hey dad which was from attacking going to be attacking from the south now resin will be attacking from the north so much for peace on every border Zobel part of syria that david had previously conquered just as israel grew geographically under david and the early years of solomon israel is about to be diminished verse 24 and he gathered men unto him and became captain over a band when david slew them of Zopa and they went to damascus and dwelt therein and reigned in damascus now they didn't become a sufficient army to challenge the armies of israel but they had marauding bands that became a thorn to solemn and more than anything else and further he caused the people of Damascus in Syria to rebel against Israel a lot of that territory wasn't geographically controlled by Israel but it was certainly economically influenced by Israel verse 25 and then we'll stop for the day and he this being resin was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon he rebelled against the ruler his ruler beside the mischief that hey Dad did that that's not written and he abhorred Israel and reigned over serious we got God stirring up enemies from the south stirring up enemies from the north he's about to stir up an enemy from within the nation of Israel that being Jeroboam the one that God has chosen to give 10 of the 12 tribes of Israel 2 and the nation is going to be split in in Ezekiel chapter 37 we learned that there are two sticks the two sticks are Judah and the ten tribes to the north they remain split unto this day those two sticks will be rejoined into one in the future but they're split even unto this day don't miss our next lecture we got a short

organization by name we teach God's Word in a positive format throwing out negative about others especially our brothers and sisters in Christ serves no purpose we simply won't do it well that God's Word do the teaching the correcting and the healing I've got a prayer request well do away with the 800 number you don't need a telephone number you don't need a mailing address your heavenly Father

who are in harm's way around the world father we ask you to look over guide direct touch heal in Jesus precious name Amen and thank you Father alright let's get to some questions and see what's on the mind of folks first up today we have care very in Florida can you please explain the eighth day creation using scriptures well Genesis chapter one you know goes through the sixth day and we have man created in that time period what is it verse 26 God said to the Angels let us make man in our image the man that was created there or the races other than earth ha Adam I'm speaking the Hebrew of the Adam that was created after the seventh day in Genesis chapter two and then the eighth day was F ha Adam created now you know understanding the beginning of God's Word is critical if you don't understand the beginning there's no way you're ever going to understand the end of God's Word so you need to get a firm grip on that and I might suggest that you order we have it separated as a three CD set that covers the first six chapters of Genesis that takes you through the three world ages the creation on earth also what happened in the Garden of Eden and the fallen angels coming to earth and going into the daughters of Adam and having children they were giants and it's critical that you understand the first six chapters of Genesis and you have to go back into the Hebrew to understand a lot of it so I suggest that you consider ordering that if you haven't done so Alysse Angelica in California I am writing this letter in regards to three things I'm sure you are a pastor but what would you rather be addressed when I'm writing to you pastor is fine what is a pastor do well a pastor is supposed to prepare the pasture and I'm speaking spiritually the pasture is what the sheep feed from and that's what a pasture is supposed to do you follow with the second question can you please explain to me what favor means I have an idea but I have I have heard people and Bible say may God give you favor or give me favor Lord so when I pray can I ask for favor and it seems like such a powerful word well you know the word favoured the way you spelled it FA vor doesn't appear in the word it's FA vo you are it's from the Hebrew word and it's most often translated mercy it's the Hebrew word que cadence phonetically spelled out case said keh then sed and it means kindness but it also has been translated into the King James Version Bible FA V oh you are so it's kind of mercy in favor or are interchangeable basically and there's nothing wrong with asking God to show you favor mercy often means unmerited favor meaning we don't really deserve it but God loves us verse 3 excuse me you have a third question if you still have the correspondent Bible class I would like to take it we do not have never offered a Bible correspondence courses nor do we plan to offer correspondence courses other than the daily broadcast dawn in Michigan when Christ comes to Mount Zion those still living will change into spiritual beings in the twinkling of an eye as it reads in first Corinthians chapter 15 verse 52 in the following verses those who die before he comes and our in paradise are they already in spiritual form and chain or do they change at the same time well they changed when they passed away Ecclesiastes chapter 12 verse 6 and 7 the flesh returns to the earth from which it came the spirit returns to our Father from whence it came so those who are passed away are in spiritual bodies you can think of them as angels if you wish why did the you follow with another why did the translators of the King James Bible write that Eve ate an apple and became pregnant did they think it was too tasteless or offensive to ride it as it actually was I know of some who read that far and decided is a fairy tale and lose interest well it shows that people don't how much people don't understand what they're reading because there's nothing in Genesis about an apple and you're right you know the the Sunday schools across the country are teaching a fairy tale and it's it's offensive to me those who did it should be offensive to those who know the truth about what happened in the Garden of Eden but you know that's also a good way to plant seeds you know you if you're talking to someone you might plant a seed by saying isn't it amazing that there is no Apple in the Garden of Eden and then wait for the people to think about that and chew on that a little bit and then they'll come back and ask questions be prepared to answer their questions Louella I think I have that correct in Ohio do you believe a baby should be baptized when they are a few days old or should they wait till they reach the age of accountability or does it matter well here at Shepherds Chapel we dedicate infants to the Lord in other words we we asked Jesus to watch over the infant and as younger years and also we anoint the parents and charge them with raising the child in a home filled with our rich Christian heritage then when the child is old enough to understand and request baptism of their own free will then we baptize when they've reached as you put at the age of accountability is a good way to put it oh let's see this is from initial F son D I think in Pennsylvania thank you for teaching me God's Word I always knew there was more and I should know about than just paying my tithes and offerings to please the Lord and keep my fingers crossed that I don't go to hell now I feel at peace with myself thank you keep up the good work and thanks for sharing that witness and you know that's the thing about understanding God's Word it brings peace it brings a true peace of mind because you don't go through life wondering what's it all about why are we here in the flesh and when you understand the truth you're at peace you know what tomorrow brings because you understand God's Word my question Deuteronomy 12 23 does that mean that we should not eat liver no it's not talking about liver in Deuteronomy 12 23 what it states there is that we're not to eat blood and this means that you're not to eat an animal in its blood anyone who was raised on a farm and has slaughtered animals prepared them for the dinner table know that you have to properly bleed the animal in other words and then why well if you leave the blood in the animal the meat putrefies much more quickly so when you go deer hunting and if you are a deer hunter and you kill a deer the first thing you would see the hunter do after catching up with the ant and getting where the dead animal was he carries a pretty good-sized hunting knife and the first thing he's going to do is properly bleed the animal with the knife you follow with another question please explain Psalm and you wrote 111 3 it's actually 110 3 which reads the people shall be willing in the day of thy power in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning thou hast the dew of thy youth and again this is in Psalm 110 which begins My lordy Lord said unto my lord sit thou at my right hand until I make thy enemies my dinah enemies thy footstool and of course what this is talking about who's the Lord saying to my lord well where did Jesus go when he was crucified he went to the right hand of God and that's where he is unto this day who is going to make and what is the day of thy power we're talking about the Lord's Day and who is it that's going to make the gods and jesus's enemies his footstool it's his election and we're called the bruisers and we're taking names and kicking dragon Chuck from Iowa and your question being there are no J's in the Hebrew manuscripts how should you pronounce job Joshua and Joel thanks so much for your teachings and you're welcome for the teaching in the Hebrew tongue keep up with me now there is not an equivalent to the letter J in the English alphabet there are 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet whereas we have 26 in the English alphabet J is 1 we have an English alphabet that you don't find a like sounding letter in the Hebrew alphabet as a result let's take Joshua first because that's the origin of the name Jesus Joshua of the Old Testament is Yeshua in the Hebrew excuse me job is yeob and joel is yo ale and the Hebrew language Martin from Texas I am confused about Congress passed the law okaying same-sex marriages and even the President of the United States and some church leaders agree with Congress while lemon correct you Martin it was not the legislative branch of the government that was to blame for legalizing same-sex marriages we have our judicial branch of the government judiciary branch of the government in the form of the Supreme Court to thank for making same-sex marriages legal you want to continue in Genesis chapter 1 verse 28 God said to man and woman go and be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it please explain how two men being married can be fruitful and multiply and two women being married can be fruitful and multiply isn't same-sex marriage against God's law that's why he destroyed sodom and gomorrah please explain well you've got it exactly right that's exactly what was going on in saw and Gomorrah when God destroyed it homosexuality is an abomination to our Heavenly Father am i teaching hate no I'm teaching God's Word what'd you do with that information is up to you and is between you and your Heavenly Father but Leviticus chapter 18 verse 22 Leviticus chapter 20 verse 13 make it very clear that homosexuality is an abomination to God you say that's Old Testament okay I'll give you some New Testament Romans chapter 1 verses 24 through 27 first Corinthians chapter 6 verse 9 Romans chapter 8 verse 2 God is not happy with homosexuality it's an abomination to him and you're right it would be awfully hard for same-sex marriages to produce any fruit as far as children are concerned on their own Libya Nevada I have cancer but God has healed most of my cancer here in Nevada people are putting the sign repent in their yards and in their windows we are trying to spread the word so that everyone everywhere would put the sign repent up I just wanted to tell you this trying to get the word out well god bless you and we have your complete cure of cancer in prayer I like what the folks in the batterer are doing with the signs you know if we want this nation to be blessed by our Heavenly Father he makes it very clear how that happens it's all laid out right here in the rulebook and that's to do things his way and if we don't do things his way do you think we should be in line when the blessings are handed out no you have no right to be in that line because you didn't meet the condition see he promises blessings if you meet the conditions if you go against his commandments and you rebel against him and and have no morals about you don't expect any blessings and hopefully the majority of the people of this nation realize before long and wake up and do is the signs that you're saying repent and get back right with our Heavenly Father and then he can pour blessings upon our nation Carla in Arkansas to Satan know our heart and mind like God does know only God is the cardio in the Greek language know where the heart know where he can read your mind you don't even have to say what you're doing you don't have to even think it he knows ahead of time what you are thinking if not can he hear what we speak out and use it to torture our mind Satan can utilize what we say he and his are able to hear what is spoken out loud Carolyn and organ do you think things will get better before the sixth Trump when Antichrist shows up well more people turn their hearts to God it certainly seems to be the opposite I say come Lord Jesus come I agree with you Carolyn come Lord Jesus come I believe Jesus is the only one that can straighten out the mess that we have going right now and I do believe things are going to get worse why because it says so in
