This is What's Right, What's Left with Pastor Ernie Sanders. Good evening and welcome to another edition of What's Right, What's Left on this 19th day. No, it's the 18th day, isn't it?
Yes, the 18th day, because I've got it written right here, of May 2025. I get that written too. And tonight, my illustrious co-host who's saying is, well, perfection in broadcasting.
Perfection's his game, Kenny's his name. Did you have that written down too? No.
No? That just kind of stumbled past my lips and under my nose. There it goes. Good evening, Pastor. Good evening, and we have quite a message tonight. When the wicked say, I am righteous.
When the wicked say, I am righteous. And I wanted to say, I had a wonderful new guest today in church, 88-year-old Barbara. What else, sweetheart? She came to church. She used to attend the church out there that I pastored out in Cortland, okay? But now she lives way out over there in Youngstown area, but she came out to church today. Her son and daughter brought her. It was a blessing to have her out there. And she wants to make a song with me, so I've got to think about that. Nice. And so, anyhow, if you're listening, Barbara, it was just a blessing to have you.
My wife and I were thrilled to have you come to lunch with us. All righty. Well, we're going to start. Now, Kenny, you know that if you would just read the Bible, and the Bible's the greatest history book that ever, you know, that ever existed. But if we just read it and we learn about King David and we learn about Moses and all, but we don't learn anything about how to put it into practical application for us today.
Yeah, that would be kind of a waste of time then. Yeah. So, Isaiah 4-6 says, �My people destroyed for lack of knowledge.� Of course, the greatest source of knowledge and wisdom ever existed is right here in this Bible, in one book, okay? And today, we're seeing an egregious and egregious sin against the people, like we have. These sins, the worst sins, always come from the courts. Have you noticed that?
Typically, yeah. Well, in 1973, you had that ungodly court that ruled that God was dead and they were God, and you could take and destroy the very image. You know, when God gave us the five points of divine human government during the Noahic Covenant, the very third point was the most important point.
And the third point tells you is the entire purpose of human government, the entire purpose of divine human government was to preserve the image of God that being meant. And that �73 Supreme Court said, �Now, you know what? We're going to take what God had made unlawful. We're going to make it legal.
If you purchase a license with mammon, then we will make what God has said unlawful a sin. We will make it legal.� And that's exactly what they did. And so, here, we're going to take a look, because today, now, we have the same problems with lawfare. You've got all of these corrupt judges, obstruction, trying to obstruct. President Trump is trying to � all of those murderers, rapists, pedophiles, drug dealers, human smugglers that Joe Biden brought into this country. He's trying to send them back. You know, all these other countries, they simply opened their prisons and said, �Go to America. We're tired of feeding you. Go.� Yeah. I mean, you really can't blame them.
I mean, I would have done it too. And so, now, Trump is trying to right the wrong there, and we have obstruction from these crooked prostitutes. The Bible actually refers to Hosea chapter 4 as whores, and also Ezekiel as whores.
They've gone a whoring, you know. And so, here, we're going to take a look at this, this lawfare and these corrupt judges, because God's Word, the Bible has a lot to say about that. And we're going to start tonight in Deuteronomy chapter 16 with the law of the judges, the law of the judges. We start with verse 18, �Judges and officers shall thou make thee in all thy gates, which the Lord thy God giveth thee throughout the tribes, and they shall judge the people with a just judgment.� Now, let me ask you, why do you think he says throughout all the gates? I'm not sure.
Well, here's why. To cover everything? Well, the business of the judicial business and the political were always settled in the gates of the city, and the gates of the city is where all of this was decided. You had your judges and that's set up there. And so, he says, �And the Lord God giveth thee throughout the tribes, they shall judge the people with just judgment.� Now, here, judges were chosen first by age, people my age were preferred, by wisdom, by character, and civil relationships, by leadership in the community.
Now, the number of judges depended on the number of people in each arena. So, that was a very fair and normal way to do that. It's not done that way in America today, is it?
No, unfortunately. It's done politically and gerrymandering, all kinds, whatever corruption, corrupt ways they can do that. Back door deals.
Yep. And then, here, judges were to be, one, impartial and not take gifts. We read this next verse.
�Thou shalt not rest judgment, thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift, for a gift does blind the eyes of the wise and pervert the words of the righteous.� Here, when it says, �Thou shalt not rest,� okay, that word �rest� in the Hebrew is the same word we use today for �pervert.� �Thou shalt not pervert judgment.� Boy, we're seeing judgment perverted today, aren't we? All over the place. I mean, you're seeing these district judges. Now, why do you think they're called district? Because they're in charge of that certain area that is included in their district. So, their jurisdiction, and there's, like, 900 and something of them. And so, that jurisdiction is the jurisdiction in that area that they're assigned. So, why do you think these judges are trying to make rules that apply to the whole United States of America?
Because they crave the power and want control over more than just their district. Right. So, they're going outside the law, aren't they? Yeah, absolutely. Okay.
So, �Thou shalt not rest judgment,� �Thou shalt not respect persons.� In other words, it's supposed to be impartial, right? Yeah. Did we see impartial when they were � did we see anything impartial with the J-6s? No. No, that was a witch hunt and a setup from the get-go.
So, being in prison for four years without a trial, that in itself, those judges, everyone on that council and the judges in that district should be charged with criminal activity for what they did to 1,500 J-6s, huh? Yeah, patriotic Americans. Yeah. And so, he goes and he says, �For a gift does blind the eyes of the wise and pervert the words of the righteous.� Well, you know, we've seen � remember Judge Marshawn here? And his daughter received a whole bunch of money from the DNC? Yeah, gifts.
A lot of gifts, okay? And so, you know, again, so he goes, �That which is altogether just shall stand, that follow thou mayest live.� Oh, now listen carefully, okay? Because there's a very strong message here, �That which is altogether just shall thou follow, that thou mayest live, and inherit the land which the Lord God giveth thee.� So, do you know what the indication is there? Pretty much, it's pretty much that if you live the way you're supposed to, according to God's Word, the Bible, then, you know, you will have the rewards for it. Now, let me read this again, listen carefully, �That which is altogether just, that means to be in strict accordance with the laws of the judges.� To be in strict accordance, okay?
Okay. So, okay, �That which is altogether just shall thou follow� Now, in other words, you have to be in strict accordance with the laws of the judges, �That thou mayest live.� In other words, he's saying to violate that means you ain't gonna live. That means you're gonna get introduced to a bunch of big stones, and that's what they did to them, okay? To the corrupt, to those that were corrupt. And then he goes on, �Thou mayest live and inherit the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. Thou shalt not plant a tree, or plant thee a grove of any trees, near unto the altar of the Lord, thy God which thou shalt make thee.� Well, not only not near, okay, but not at all. And what he's talking about, you know what the groves were? No. Okay. Now, he's not talking about fruit trees here. Yeah, I didn't think so.
Okay. He's talking about here a grove, and a grove is where they took to sacrifice their children, in the shade where the shade was big, in the groves. Now, that word actually, in the Hebrew, here, in a couple places in Scripture, not every place, but that word here, Asherah, you've heard that name before, Asherah, which was the name of the goddess worshiped by the Phoenicians and the Canaanites. Her image was commonly erected in special groves of trees planted for that purpose. Now, that goddess Asherah was said to be the wife of the god El, not El Shaddai, okay?
This was El, meaning thee, okay? And she was also known to be the mother of Baal, and also, when she was supposed to be the mother of many other false gods, too. And so, neither shalt thou set up to any image which the Lord God hateth. So, anyhow, no groves, don't be planting any groves out there, because we know what the groves are for.
And also, make sure you don't put her image up, any statute of her or anybody else. And so, this was the law of the judges, and the judges were to keep these, okay? And so, I want to go now over to Micah chapter 7.
Micah 7, actually, I'm going to start with the last verse in chapter 6, verse 16. For the statutes of Amri are kept in all the works of the house of Ahab, and you walk in their councils, that I should make the desolation and inhabitants thereof, as a hissing, therefore you shall bear the reproach of my people. So, do you know who Amri was?
No. Amri was Ahab's father. He was totally corrupt. He was vicious. He was known for his betrayal, his treason. And he was a servant to his king, and when the king's family had left to go to another country, he assassinated his king and took his place as the king in the kingdom. And now, here, when I'm having one of my senior moments there, where the fellow was known, the son of thunder. Thor?
No, not Thor. Anyhow, the one that went after Jezebel, when he went, first of all, he eliminated her son. When Jezebel's son said, if you come as a piece, and he said, no, I have come to the whoredoms of your mother and her witchcraft, and so he took out her son who was a king. And so then, he went after Ahu, Ahu, Ahu. And so here, he went to the castle where Jezebel was, and Jezebel had painted her face all up and she came out and she said, she recalled him Amri.
Amri was, again, a name for someone who was treasonous, and so she referred to him as Amri, the treasonous one, and he had her thrown down off the balcony. And so, by the way, this clip, tomorrow, I want to load this clip, I want to play this clip that Donald Trump had made about Hillary. It is really, really interesting. Yeah, you're telling me about that.
I can't wait to see this. So here, it goes on, woe is me, for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits as the grapes cleaning of the vintage. There is no cluster to eat. My soul desires the first ripe fruit. Now, this is Micah saying, he's kind of really depressed. He said, the good man has perished out of the earth and there is none upright among men. They all lie and wait for blood. They hunt every man, his brother, with a net. Well, do you know who the good man was that Ahab and Jezebel had murdered, was Naboth. They had murdered Naboth. Do you know what they used to convict Naboth?
Was it a lie? Corrupt judges, yeah. There were the corrupt judges who took the bribes and they convicted him.
They knew he was innocent. Jezebel says, here's what you're going to do and they did it. He goes on and he says, that they may do evil with both hands earnestly and the prince asketh and the judge asketh for reward and the great man he uttereth the mischievous desire as they wrap up. Now here, when you see what's happened here with Jim Comey recently come out. Now Comey, there was more to this than you meet the eye. On the very day he came out with that, his new book came out. Of course. And so, there's all of this.
He's not the only one. They're investigating a number of other people for doing the very same thing now, putting up on the internet having that. We're seeing treason. We're seeing treason being taking place, a coup within the government.
And so, here you have Jim Comey. Do you know who's been strikingly absent? Was it Mary Garland? You haven't heard anything about Mary Garland? No, not at all.
No. And so, who else haven't you heard? The former FBI chief, Christopher Wray. He's been very silent. But now we're seeing some things happening with these corrupt judges, okay?
Again, like one more Sean, he's been very, very quiet. And we're seeing this Boisberg, this corrupt judge. He's ended up getting about five cases, this never happens, never happened before, that were brought against Trump. He ends up somehow getting these cases.
Yeah, the luck of the draw, right? Yeah. And so, you have all of these things happening. At the same time, there's some justice starting to take place. You see Letitia James now.
Everything that she accused Trump of, she was guilty of. Yep. That's usually how it works. Yeah. Well, that's what, right out of Karl Marx's playbook, always accuse the opposition of whatever crime you're committing, okay? And so now, they're going after her, and it's Alvin Bragg. You know, this guy is, he is responsible for the deaths of so many people. It's because of what he did that I'm absolutely convinced that the guy that set that woman on fire and watched her burn there, that young woman, figured he could get away with it, okay?
Because it was New York. Yep. And the corruption. Now, you've seen, this Alvin Bragg is as corrupt as corrupt gets. You see, here, again, with Mershawn and his daughters, they got caught. All that money she was making, they're under investigation now, too.
And so here, we go on and he says, the best of them is as a briar, and the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge. The day of the watchman and the day of visitation cometh, now shall be their perplexity. Boy, that's what's happening to them.
They are perplexed right now. Trust you not, boy, this is something that Trump learned big time after his first term in office. Trust you not in a friend, but you not confidence in a guide. Keep the doors of the mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.
Okay? So, Trump was betrayed by everybody. His own vice president betrayed him. And then his attorney general, Bill Barr, who he trusted, he betrayed him. Nikki Haley, who was supposed to be with him, she turned against him. I noticed that she hasn't been back.
She hasn't come back like a lot of them that have done that, you know, come back later and apologize. All around him, he was betrayed, okay, by people. Of course, he didn't know about the deep state then. But, boy, does he know now. Sure does. He goes on, for the son dishonoreth the father, and the daughter raises up against her mother.
The daughter-in-law against the mother-in-law. A man's enemies are those of his, the men of his own house. Do you know where Klaus Schwab is right now? No idea. Nobody knows because he's hiding. He took off, he's in hiding. And do you know why he's in hiding? Um, probably numerous reasons. You know, before I go any further, what is it you do know? I'm not much.
Not much. We have, the reason he is, his daughter dropped a dime. She was afraid for her own life because she has information that could be not just to him but some others. And she was afraid for her own life, so she went and she dropped a dime. She spilled her guts, everything. And so Klaus Schwab, the last we heard, he was on the lam.
And so, he was guilty of a lot of different crimes. And so, well, now I want to go to Acts chapter 23. Let's go to Acts chapter 23.
Sounds like a splendid place to start next week. Now, in Acts chapter, this is, we're going to read the entire chapter here because this has to do with the apostle Paul. This is a perfect example of lawfare too in those days. Now, and Paul earnestly beholding the council said men and brethren, okay. Now here's Paul. He was given his defense before the Sanhedrin. Now, bear in mind this, okay, he has not been charged with a crime.
He has not, remember the J-6s? They weren't charged with anything, just held, right? So, at this point, Paul has not been charged with any crime. And Paul earnestly beholding the council said men and brethren, I have lived in good conscience before God and this day. Now, here he was drug before the Sanhedrin, before their council. The Sanhedrin was made up of Sadducees and Pharisees. The Sadducees were, they outnumbered the Pharisees. And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth. Now, this was not, this was not the same high priesthood that Jesus, that they brought Jesus before. In fact, that was thirty years earlier than that took place here. But this guy, this, you know, and that was, for some reason, these high priests ended up with the name Ananias, more than a couple. And so here now, Ananias was actually, he was a political appointee.
Wasn't even done, you know, to the normal means. And he was notoriously, notoriously corrupt. Now, can you think of some judges that are that way out there today? Oh, there's a couple. Yeah, this Weisberg is one. Juan Rashan, Rashan is another. Oh, the guy, the skinny guy that took it. Edren or something like that?
Edren, Edren, yeah, Edren. So these are notoriously corrupt judges that we have out there today. And so this guy, this high priest, he was notoriously corrupt. And so what happened was, then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou wicked wall, for thou sittest to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten, contrary to the law. In other words, Paul says, he called him a whited wall. Do you know what that meant, to be called a whited wall?
No. It was referred to as a sepulcher. Sepulchers were whited on the outside, but on the inside were filled with dead man's bones.
Okay, and so that would be another way of calling them completely corrupt. Jesus in Matthew 23 really went after the Sadducees and Pharisees with that. And so here, and they that stood by said, revilest thou God's high priest? And then said Paul, I wish to not, brethren, that he was the high priest, for it is written that thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people. Now, Paul, remember who Paul was? Paul was a Pharisee of the Pharisees.
Okay, he was educated by the very best educators there, the leaders, the Jewish rabbis and doctors, and so Paul was very well known. They referred to him as the Pharisee of the Pharisees. Now, Paul realizes now who's on this consul. Now he's realizing, hey, you know what? You had the Sadducees here and the Pharisees. He's the whole Sanhedrin. He wasn't brought just before a certain consul of Sadducees or a consul of Pharisees. But he realizes this now.
He goes on to say, But when Paul received that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the consul, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee of the hope and the resurrection of the dead, and am called in question. Do you know why he did that? I don't know. To maybe kind of boast, you know, like not really boast, but to kind of say, hey, you know, I know who you're talking to. I'm a smart man here.
I know what's supposed to happen here. Well, he was looking for some help, see? He was in a tight spot.
He was not in friendly territory. Now, the Pharisees believed in the resurrection of the dead, and they believed in angels. In fact, some of them were chastised for actually worshipping angels. But they believed, okay, in the angels and the resurrection of the dead. The Sadducees did not. They didn't believe in the resurrection of the dead or in angels.
That's why they were sad, you see. And so here, now, what they were, they were legalists to the fullest extent. In other words, they believed in the absolute letter of the law, okay, like secular prosecutors today. And so here he goes on to say, and when he had so said, there arose dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the multitude was divided. For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither any angels nor spirits, but the Pharisees confessed both. And there arose a great cry in the scribes that were of the Pharisees. Now, those scribes were lawyers. And part rose, Pharisees, part rose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man, but if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him, let us not fight against God. And so, now that was what Paul's instructor, his teacher, his professor had, when they had put Peter in the others before the council, and they were going to charge him there with treason and blasphemy.
Then the high priest, in fact, if we go over, just real quick, let me jump over here to Acts chapter, I believe it is, if I remember right, chapter 5. I'm not there. Okay.
Okay. Now, here, and when they heard that, they were cut to the heart and took counsel to slay them. Okay, this is what they, when Peter and the other apostles said we ought to obey God rather than man, and that's when, when they heard this, they were cut to the heart and took counsel to slay them.
Now, this was the whole Sanhedrin. Then stood there of one in the council of Pharisees named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space. And he said unto them, you men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what you intend to do to as touching these men, for before these days rose up, they had a theotis boasting himself to be somebody, to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves, who were slain, all as many who obeyed him were scattered and brought to naught. That was, you know, by the Romans. And after this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him. He also perished, and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed. And now I say unto you, refrain from these men, let them alone, for if this counsel of this work be of man, it will come to aught. But if it be of God, you cannot overthrow it, lest haply you be found even to fight against God. And so that's where these Pharisees came.
They remember they were sitting on the council. And then there arose a great dissension, and the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by forth from among them, and to bring him into the castle. And the night following, the Lord stood by him and said, now these are the words of the Lord Jesus, be of good cheer, Paul, or as thou hast testified of me, in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also in Rome. So now, what do you think Paul understood at that? He was going to be brought to Rome to go before Caesar, and he understood two things. One, that he was going to be martyred. And two, that his reward, his rewards in heaven, remember what Paul said, I find it all glory, I find it all glory to be found worthy to be martyred for my Lord's sake. And so he understood that. Now, the Lord Jesus knew at this time Paul, who was 100, he was completely sold out to Christ.
And so the message was, don't worry, you don't have that much longer, okay, before you're coming home. And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul. Do you kind of see something similar happening today with the Apostle Trump, or with the President Trump? Yeah, there's a lot of similarities. Yeah, you're seeing all of this also with Elon Musk. All the corruption and the witch hunts.
Yeah. And they were more than 40 which had made this conspiracy. And they came to the chief priest and elders and said, we have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul. Now, therefore, you with a counsel signify to the chief captain that they bring him down to you tomorrow as though we were going to inquire something more perfectly concerning him. And when we, wherever he come near, we were ready to kill him. Now when Paul's sister's son heard their line in wait, he went and entered into the castle. He was a kid.
He was a kid. He entered into the castle and told Paul. Then Paul called one of the centurions into him and said, bring this young man into the chief captain, for he hath a certain thing to tell him.
Now remember, why do you think that was? Why do you think that the centurions would even be concerned about helping this Jew? Because the Romans didn't like the Jews.
I don't know. Maybe because of conspiring, you know, and if they're willing to do that to him, then why wouldn't they be willing to do that to anyone else? Well, no, actually it's because Paul was a natural born Roman citizen. He was a Roman citizen.
Remember when they had abused him before and then he came to the knowledge of the Roman guards that Paul was a, they weren't a centurion. Uh oh, we're in trouble because to do that, if you have a prisoner and you misused that prisoner, you had to take his place. And so here, um, the Roman guards thought, well, we're in trouble. We're in big trouble now because we've, we've done this to a Roman citizen.
Okay. But now here, and so here, then Paul called one of the centurions and said to him, bring this young man into the chief captain, for he hath a certain thing to tell him. So he took him and brought him into the chief captain and said, Paul, the prisoner called me, called me into him and prayed me to bring this young man into thee who hath something to say unto thee. And the chief captain took him by the hand and went with him aside privately and asked him, what is that thou hast to tell me? And he said, welp, the Jews have agreed to desire thee and now what is to bring down Paul tomorrow to the consul as though they would inquire somewhat of him more perfectly. But do not do this, thou yield unto them, for there lie in wait for them more than forty men which have bound themselves with an oath that they will neither eat nor drink until they have killed him. And now they're ready, looking for a promise from thee. So the chief captain let the young man depart and charged him, see thou tell no man that thou hast showed these things to me. And he called unto him two centurions saying, make ready unto a hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea and horsemen threescore and ten.
That's seventy horsemen. So they're not going to do this for just some Jew, right? Never mind, this is a Roman citizen now.
Okay. And so, and spearmen, two hundred at the third hour of the night. And provide them a beast that they may set Paul on and bring him safe to Felix the governor. And he wrote a letter after this manner, and Claudius Elias unto the most excellent governor, Felix, sending greetings. This man was taken of the Jews and should have been killed with them, then came I with an army and rescued him, having understood he was a Roman. And when I would have known the cause, wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth to their consul, whom I perceived to be accused of questioning of the law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or abounds. And when it was told me how the Jews laid weight for the man, I sent straight away to thee and gave command to his accusers, and to say before thee, Wilt thou what had thy against him?
Farewell. Then the soldiers as it was commanded them took Paul and brought him by night to Agrippa, to Antina, to Antipitrus. And in the morning they left the horsemen to go with him and returned to the castle, who when they came to Caesarea and delivered the epistle to the governor and presented Paul also before him.
And when the governor had read the letter, he asked of what province he was, and when he had understood that he was of Cilicia, I will hear of thee, said he, and when thy accusers are also come, and he commanded him to be kept of Herod's daughter-in-law. Here we see that Paul, I want to go back, I think I missed here, first with Felix, he had some friends, he wanted to impress the Jews, he wanted to please the Jews, and maybe we'll get to that in the next one. And so he asked Paul if he would like to stand before him, and he said no, he said I want to go to Rome, I want to go before Caesar. And so here, I want to go now over to Acts.
Let me continue here. Okay, here we go, 23 verse 34. And when the governor had read the letter, he asked of what province he was, and when he understood that he was of Caesarea, I will hear thee, said he, and when thy accusers are also come, and he commanded him to be kept at Herod's judgment hall. And so, I want to go now to, by the way, Felix was, he had taken the office that had previously belonged to Pontius Pilate, and so he was newly in that office. So now, I want to go to Acts 25. There you go, Acts 25, starting with verse 9 through 12. But Festus, willing to do, I said Felix before, I meant Festus, willing to do the Jews a pleasure, answered Paul and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me? And then said Paul, I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged to the Jews, have I done no wrong, as thou were very well noticed. Now, here, Festus was willing to sell Paul out.
He was just willing to sell him out because he wanted to gain favors with all the wealthy Jews. And so he, and Paul says, and then said Paul, I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged to the Jews, have I done no wrong, as thou very well noticed. And if I be an offender, or have committed anything worthy of death, I refuse not to die. But if there be none of these things, therefore, these accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them, I appeal them to Caesar. Then Festus, when he had conferred with the consul, answered, Hast thou appealed unto Caesar, unto Caesar thou shalt go? And so, here now, we see Festus again, again like John Roberts.
What does John know? Whose job is it to rein in all of these radical extremist judges? It would probably be the Supreme Court, I would think. That's their job, to rein them in. And remember when Trump says, okay, these judges that are breaking the law, they need to be impeached. Yep. And Roberts immediately said, no, we don't do that.
Why is that? Well, he's the head of that consul of judges, the dark, deep state consul of judges. And so he's trying to protect them.
This is what, here again, Festus, like John Roberts, was ready to sell out the people for gain within his collective. And Roberts heads up the secret club of corrupt judges, defending them against Trump. Now, Trump says that he has appealed his case to God, that God has kept the deep state from killing him. Trump says he knows without a doubt that it was God that has prevented him from being assassinated.
And that he puts his complete faith and hope and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. And so, here now, I want to go over to 1 Corinthians chapter 6. In 1 Corinthians chapter 6, starting with verse 1, dare any of you having a matter against another go to law before the unjust and not before the saints?
Do you not know that the saints shall judge the world, and if the world should be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Now, we have, you know, the church, the Ecclesiastic Law Council, when people, when two Christians have an issue, have a disagreement, they can bring it before the consul. They don't have to take it before the heathen courts. They can bring it before the consul, and usually there's three to five different pastors that sit on the consul, and they first have to sign the papers saying that they will agree to abide by the consul's decision, okay? And if they do that, okay, then they can avoid going to the heathen courts. I mean, we don't handle things like murder cases or, you know, criminal cases like that.
We're talking about virtually, you know, domestic things. And so, know you not that you shall judge angels how much more things that pertain to this life. So, do you know when the saints, do you know when we're going to judge angels?
Um, would that be after the tribulation? Yeah, during the Millennial Kingdom, we will be judging, we will be judging people. We're going to be judges, and so he says, do you not know that the saints shall judge the world?
We'll be judging the world, okay, during that period. And if the world should be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Do you not usually judge angels how much more things that pertain to this life? That's why in 1 Corinthians chapter 11, the angels were watching with curiosity.
They were watching curiosity, and, you know, especially where it had to do with the behavior of women there, okay? And so, you know, they realized that at some point these people who must really seem inferior to the angels will be judging them. And so he goes on, if you have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are at least esteemed in the church. Why in the world would you want to set the least esteemed in the church to judge?
Um, maybe you'd get a more fair trial? He's making a point here, he's talking about the babes in the Lord, just those that are babes in the Lord. And the point that he's making is you're right that even with the least, even with, you know, brand new Christians that are just babes in the Lord, you are much more likely to get a fair trial to get justice than you would by a secular judge who'd been on the bench for 40 years. Yeah. And so, I speak to your shame, is it so that there's not a wise man among you?
No, not one shall be able to judge between his brethren. Why do you think it's significant that he's saying this in Corinth there? Do you know, in Corinth amongst the Greeks, do you know what one of their favorite pastimes was? Um, wrestling?
No, no, uh, that's... Anyhow, what they would do is on the weekends they would go down to the pavilion and they would stand up and wax eloquently, each trying to show how much knowledge they had. Remember, knowledge was something that they were, that they would try to impress with each other. And then Paul and Barnabas came and were talking to them and they referred to them as Mercury and as gods.
And so Paul told them, you know, because they had set up all these idols to these gods and went to the unknown, and Paul explained to them who that unknown was, was the God of gods. And so here, Paul was kind of saying for wise people, you're pretty stupid. And so here, I speak to your shame.
Is it so? That there's not a wise man among you? No, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren? But brother, go to law with brother, and that before unbelievers.
He's saying, how dumb, how dumb is this, okay? In fact, that word there, for shame, that word there in Greek is entropy. Entropy meaning is to be the term inward in a confession. So as I speak to your shame, is it so that not a wise man among you, no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren? But brother, go to law with brother, and that before unbelievers. Now therefore, there is utterly a fault among you because you go to law with one another. Why do you not rather take the wrong, and why do you not suffer yourselves to be defrauded? Nay, you do wrong and defraud that your brethren. So he's saying there, look, you'd be better off instead of dragging each other before the heat in the courts, because when you do that, who makes out?
Nothing but the lawyers. I had a situation where one of the men in our church passed away, and he had no... He was a doctor, had no relatives, and he left everything to me. He just wrote to me because he didn't know who else to do it to.
And so, not to the church, but to me. And so what I did, he had quite a bit of property, but he also had bills. So I sold off his estate, and I took the money, and I went to the bank to pay off the bills that he had.
And so when I got to the bank, they had said, well, we can't take that money. You've got to go through the probate court. And now I had spoken to the judge of the probate court, who happened to have been a friend of mine, and the judge told me, whatever you do, don't bring that to my court. If you bring that to my court, the lawyers are going to eat you alive.
And so when I went into the bank, and they said, you're going to have to go through the probate court, I said, well, I'm making a statement right here that on this time, at this date, I, Pastor Ernie Sanders, are here. In my hand, I have payment in full of all the debts of this doctor. And you will either receive this payment, or if you deny this payment, then you no longer are eligible to receive it.
Yeah, you forfeit it. Right. And they looked at each other, and they said, well, okay.
So they took the money, I paid off the debt that was done, and praised the good Lord. But I'm not done here. I still got others to go to. And so, but we're out of time, aren't we? Yeah, just about. So it's that time that we come to every night where we talk about the most important thing.
Let me just say this. You know what? I do have time.
I have time to do one more. And you know what that's going to be? It's going to be over in Acts chapter 17. In Acts chapter 17, and it's going to be just one verse, if I can get there.
And that one verse is verse 31. Because he hath appointed a day in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he hath ordained, wherefore he hath given assurance unto all men in that he hath raised him from the dead. The judge who imposed the sentence of death because of sin. That same judge of all men, the judge that made peace with men through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things to himself. That's the creator judge of all creation. And that's the Lord Jesus Christ.
He is the Lord of Lords, the King of Kings, and also the judge of judges. And folks, every one of you out there listening to me tonight, someday will die. You will leave this life, and when that happens, the Bible says that it's appointed to all men who wants to die, then the judgment. Right then, the judgment. Now you're going to go, you don't go out of existence.
There's no such thing as soul sleep, as you heard. You don't go out of existence. People, we're eternal beings. We just change real estate.
We change form. And you're going to go to one place or the other. You're either going to go to heaven or hell.
Now that's reality. You can believe whatever you want, but there are no unbelievers at this very time in heaven or hell. So call upon the name of the Lord tonight. Don't wait until tomorrow. When you hear the preacher give the invitation, he's just the messenger. The Lord is calling you. Go to the Gospel of John chapter 3.
Read it and do it. Well, we're out of time for tonight, so as we get to this time every night, I say to Skinny Kenny, I say, good night. Yeah, good night. I say, God bless. God bless. And then we say, always, always, always. Ready? We'll do it. Remember, we did this before Trump. Keep fighting the fight, fight, fight, fight.
