Message tonight is The Incurable
Cured. The Incurable Cured. Our text will be Micah Chapter
1. Before we look at our text and
read it together, let me lay the foundation for this message
in four statements. Now please hear these four statements. You will never understand this
book. You will never make any sense
of this book. You'll never have any real comprehension
of this book until you are made to understand that the message
of this book, the single message of this book, and it only has
one message, is redemption, grace, salvation, and eternal life in
and by Jesus Christ, our crucified, risen, exalted, ascended Savior,
the Lord God, our sovereign King. The whole book of God is about
the salvation of God's elect and the glory of God in the salvation
of sinners by Jesus Christ crucified. You'll never understand this
book until you understand that. It's not about the church. It's
not about dispensationalism. It's not about millennialism.
It's not about prophecy. It's not about history. It's
not about morality. The message of the book is Jesus
Christ crucified, salvation in and by the crucified Son of God. Here's the second statement.
You will never make sense of history. You'll never make sense
of history. I realize that in our day, schools
don't much teach history, grade schools, middle schools, high
schools, or college schools. They interpret history. They
don't do much teaching, so you forget that. But you will never
understand history, history. until you understand that all
of history is his story. It's that simple. It's his story. Now, that'll make history interesting
to you. It's his story. All of history
is just the unfolding of God's eternal purpose in time. the
story of God performing his works in this world for the saving
of his people. We're told in Ephesians 1 that
he worketh all things after the counsel of his own will. He, our God, worketh, present
linear tense, he worketh, continually behind the stages, manipulates
and arranges and brings to pass all things after the counsel
of his own will. The only way you'll ever understand
the history of the world is to understand that it is his story. Everything accomplishing God's
purpose. Number three. You'll never make
any sense out of your own life. Your ups and downs, your joys
and sorrows, your blessings and burdens, your days of joy and
your nights of weeping, and those of your family, the sorrows and
trials and difficulties that you bear with your sons and daughters
and brothers and sisters and husbands and wives and mothers
and fathers. You'll never understand those
things. You'll never make any sense out of those things until
you realize that God works all things together for good to them
that love him, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Let God do what he will. He does
well. Let God do what he will with
me and mine and you and yours. He does well. God give me grace to commit my
life and my family, my wife, my daughter, my son-in-law, my
two grandchildren. God give me grace to commit them
to your will and your glory. Everything. Everything. You can learn to live in peace
in proportion as you learn to live trusting the Lord in all
things, trusting his wise, adorable, good providence, who works all
things together for good to them that love God, to them who are
the called according to his purpose. And here's a fourth statement.
I want you to turn to Revelation, or Romans rather, Romans chapter
11. You'll never be able to make
any sense out of God's providential judgments. And everything that comes to
pass in time that men look at as evil events are God's providential
judgments. Everything. Hurricanes, sickness,
tornadoes, floods, the moral decadence of a society, spiritual
apostasy, civil unrest, wars, famine, earthquakes, pestilence,
disease, bereavement, all these things are God's providential
judgments. You'll never understand them
until you understand that God judges men and nations. for the salvation of his elect. God judges men and nations for
the salvation of his elect. I don't mean some men, but all
men. I don't mean some nations, but
all nations. He raises up kings and treads
them down. He raises up nations and he destroys
nations according to the intents of his heart for the saving of
his people. God does all things well, everything. Let's see a display of this in
Romans chapter 11. The whole of Romans chapters
8, 9, 10, and 11 show us this very fact. I say then, hath God
cast away his people? God forbid. Paul declares that
God's sent blindness to the Jews, sent hardness of heart to the
Jews just like he did to Pharaoh. God's cast them off. Was God
cast away his people because he cast away that physical nation?
God forbid. Look at verse 2. God had not
cast away his people which he foreknew. That never happened. Verse 5. Even so then, at this present
time, There is a remnant according to the election of grace. Verse
7. What then? Israel hath not obtained
that which he seeketh for. That is the physical seed. But
the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded. Verse
11. I say then, have they stumbled
that they should fall? God forbid. Rather, through their
fall, salvation is come unto the Gentiles. Through their fall, salvation
has come to the Gentiles. Verse 22. Behold, therefore,
the goodness and severity of God on them which fail severity,
but toward thee goodness. Verse 25. I would not, brethren,
that you should be ignorant of this mystery, this mystery of
God's purpose and providence, lest you should be wise in your
own conceits. that blindness in part has happened
to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in. That is, until God has gathered
all his elect out of the Gentile nations. And so, and so, by God
having called his people out of Israel all these years and
now sends blindness to them and sends the gospel to the Gentile
nations, and so all Israel shall be saved. That is all God's true
Israel all the elect all God's covenant people as it is written
There shall come out of Zion the deliverer and shall turn
away in godliness from Jacob For this is my covenant unto
them when I shall take away their sins verse 29 For the gifts and
callings of God are without repentance for as ye in time past have not
believed God yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief. You obtain mercy through their
unbelief. Verse 32. For God hath concluded
them, all the nation of Israel, in unbelief, that he might have
mercy upon all. He concluded one nation in unbelief,
that he might send the gospel to his elect among all nations.
Now read on. How do you respond to that? Well,
I won't worship a God like that. I won't have a God like that.
That means God's in control of everything. God rules everything.
Well, God's people respond differently. Oh, the depth of the riches,
both of the wisdom and knowledge of God. How unsearchable are
his judgments. and his ways past finding out. For who hath known the mind of
the Lord, or who hath been his counselor, or who hath first
given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again. For
of him, and through him, and to him are all things to whom
be glory forever. And I wouldn't have it any other
way, would you? Amen. Amen. God has done everything
that he has done. God has done everything that
he has done. And if it has come to pass, God
did it. Understand that. God has done
everything he has done for the saving of his elect. that he
might have mercy upon his elect in Jesus Christ the Lord. This
world exists. It spins as it does upon its
axis for the glory of God in the salvation of his people by
Christ Jesus. Turn back to Isaiah. Isaiah chapter
43. Isaiah 43 verse 3. Listen to
what it says. Now, this is what it says. Brother
Don, you mean everything, everything in the world exists to serve
God's purpose in saving his people. Well, that'd be some bold statement,
wouldn't it? That'd be some remarkable thing for a man to conclude.
And any man who concluded such a thing must be a fool or one
who believes God. One of the two. Let's see what
God says. Isaiah 43, verse 3. I am the
Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Savior. I'm your
God, your Savior, the Holy One of Israel. That makes God have
a special bearing on a chosen people. For I gave Egypt for
thy ransom. I gave Egypt for thy ransom.
Ethiopia and Seba for thee since thou was precious in my sight
thou has been honorable and I have loved thee therefore will I give
men for thee and people for thy life I'll sacrifice men and nations
for you I'll sacrifice men and nations for you Fear not, for
I am with thee. I will bring thy seed from the
east and gather thee from the west. I will say to the north,
give up, and to the south, keep not back. Bring my sons from
far and my daughters from the ends of the earth, even everyone
that is called by my name. For I have created him for my
glory. I have formed him. Yea, I have
made him. All right, now that is the background.
Hold your Bibles open at Micah chapter one. Micah chapter one. Let's read these 16 verses together,
and then I want to show you the five things clearly set before
us in these 16 verses. Micah chapter one, verse one.
The word of the Lord that came to Micah, the Moreshite, in the
days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw
concerning Samaria and Jerusalem, hear, all ye people, hearken,
O earth, and all that therein is, and let the Lord God be witness against you. What a statement. Let the Lord
God be witness against you. The Lord from his holy temple.
For behold, the Lord cometh out of his place and will come down
and tread upon the high places of the earth. And those high
places of the earth, as you're going to see, are not talking
about mountains. These high places of the earth
are the high places of idolatry and the valleys Described here
are not valleys that you'd find as you go between two mountains
These valleys are the valleys of wickedness where men worship
their idols, you know The mountains shall be molten verse 4 under
him and the valleys shall be cleft and Wax before the fire
and as waters that are poured down a steep place verse 5 For
the transgression of Judah is all this God's going to bring
this destruction because of the transgression of Judah for the
sins of the house of Israel What is the transgression of Jacob? It is Samaria and What are the
high places of Judah? Are they not Jerusalem? Therefore,
I shall make Samaria and heap of the field. And as plantings
of the vineyard, and I will pour down the stones thereof into
the valley, and I will discover the foundation thereof. I'll
completely destroy it. Verse seven, and all the graven
images thereof shall be beaten to pieces. And all the hires
thereof shall be burned with fire. All the hires, all the
reward that came from these ungodly, idolatrous worshippers shall
be burned with fire. And the idols thereof will I
lay desolate, for she gathered it of the hire of an harlot. It all came from Babylon, the
great harlot. And they shall return to the
hire of a harlot. Verse 8, Therefore I will wail
and howl, I will go stripped and naked, I will make a wailing
like the dragons and the mourning as of the owls, for her wound
is incurable. The wound of Judah, the wound
of Israel, the wound of Samaria, the wound of Jerusalem is incurable. For it is come unto Judah. He is come under the gate of
my people, even to Jerusalem. Declare it not in death. The
home of Goliath, the chief city, the Philistines. Weep ye not
at all in the house of Aphra. Roll thyself in the dust. Pass ye away. thou inhabitant
of Saphir, having thy shame naked. The inhabitant of Zanon came
not forth in the morning of Bethzeal. He shall receive of you his standing. For the inhabitant of Meroth
waited carefully for good. The inhabitant of Bitterness
waited carefully for good. But evil came down from the Lord
under the gate of Jerusalem. O thou inhabitant of Lachish,
bind the chariot to the swift beast. She is the beginning of
the sin to the daughter of Zion, for the transgressions of Israel
were found in thee. Therefore shalt thou give presents
to Moreshethgath. The houses of Aqzib shall be
a lie to the kings of Israel. Yet will I bring an heir unto
thee, O inhabitant of Marisha. He shall come unto Adullam and
the glory of Israel. Make thee bald and pull thee
for thy delicate children. Enlarge thy baldness as the eagle,
for they are gone into captivity from thee. It is written, Judgment
must begin at the house of God, and it always does. Judgment
must begin at the house of God, and it always does. I told you
the title of my message is The Incurable Cured. And the one
thing I want you to understand and see in this message is this
fact. God our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, cures the incurable. He saves sinners who without
him could never be saved. You remember the rich young ruler? He came to the Lord Jesus and
said, good master, what must I do to inherit eternal life?
And the Lord told him to obey the commandments. He said, well,
I've done all that. Then he said, all right, let's see, go sell
your possessions and give what you have to the poor and come
and follow me and you'll be my disciple. And that rich young ruler looked
at his possessions and looked at what the master commanded
and he was very rich. And he chose to keep his riches
and walked away. And the disciples said, Lord,
if this man's lost, who then can be saved? And the Lord Jesus
answered with men, it is impossible. But with God, all things are
possible. You and I were born with an incurable
wound, an incurable disease, a sin wound, a sin disease from
which we could never recover, from which we could never be
recovered except by Christ our Redeemer and by the mighty operation
of God's grace. God will perform the intents
of his heart, we're told in Jeremiah 30. God will perform the intents
of his heart. And the intents of God's heart
are the salvation of his people and the glory of his son. God will perform the intents
of his heart. And the intents of God's heart
are these two things. The salvation of his people and
the glory of his son. Rest then my soul. upon God,
my Savior. Now, let me show you five things
in our text. First, God's prophet. We see in verse one, the word
of the Lord that came to Micah. God's prophet in every age, in
every generation, in every place, God's prophet. is a man sent
with God's message to God's people. Pray ye the Lord of the harvest
that he may send forth laborers into his field. I pray that God
will make preachers of you who know him, you men who believe
God. I pray that God will raise up
from this congregation and send out of this place into every
part of the world preachers of the gospel of his free grace.
But hear this, hear this, hear this. God help you to hear this. Don't you dare thrust yourself
into the work. Don't you dare try to make a
way for yourself. Don't you do it. In this book, you'll never find
a preacher applying for a job. It won't happen. Several years
ago, as a matter of fact, it was shortly after I came here,
a large congregation I was familiar with contacted me and wanted
me to turn in a resume and apply for a job as their pastor. And
I said to my friend who called, I said, Ira, number one, I don't
apply for jobs. I'm not his pastor. And number
two, I'm in the place where God would put me. And number three,
can't you imagine what would happen the first time I had to
have a meeting with your board of deaconesses? No, thank you.
Give it to somebody else. God's prophets don't apply for
a job. They don't do it. They wait and
are sent of God. They are men who have a personal
revelation from God, the word of the Lord that came to Micah. They are men personally taught
of God. They are given understanding
by God in his word so that they understand the whole of divine
truth. I do not pretend to suggest that
they understand everything in this book. I have been for several
months now studying the Book of Micah, preparing for this
series of messages. And I haven't grasped even all
that I've read just in these 16 verses yet. I don't pretend
that any man understands everything in this book. But I am here to
tell you that I know what this book teaches. I do know the message
of this book. I understand the entirety of
the book. And if I didn't, Merle, I wouldn't
pretend to stand up here and tell you I did. The message of
this book is, as I've just declared to you, Jesus Christ and Him
crucified. Salvation by Christ Jesus the
Lord. And God's prophets, God's preachers
are men who understand the whole thing. People forever come up and say,
well, what about this verse? But what about that verse? Let
me tell you something. I'm as honest with you as I can
be. I don't have any difficulty whatsoever, any difficulty whatsoever
with declaring God's absolute sovereignty, as I've been declaring
to you now for 25 minutes, and declaring to men their absolute
necessity that they believe the gospel. Well, those two things
are contradictory. No, they're not. No, they're
not. Divine sovereignty and human
responsibility. You can't believe both of those things. Would you
tell me why not? The book reveals both. They're
not contradictory at all. Not in the least. These two things,
they just don't fit. If they're in this book, they
fit. And God's servants understand that. God's prophet has a clear
understanding. Notice what it says here. The
word of the Lord that came to Micah, which he saw. which he
saw. He saw it. He understood it. He grasped it. And he sent to meet a present need. This man was sent. He was raised
up of God and sent of God and maintained of God in the days
of Jotham Ahaz and Hezekiah. God always raises up a man he
will use for a specific place to meet a specific need at a
specific time. And he sent to a specific people
his messages for those people concerning Jerusalem and Samaria. All right, here's the second
thing. God's witness. Verse 2, Hear all ye people hearken,
O earth, and all that therein is, and let the Lord God be witness
against you, the Lord from his holy temple. Micah faithfully
declared to his generation, and particularly to Israel and Judah,
particularly to God's professed people, particularly to the church
and kingdom of God in his day. Micah declared that God Almighty,
the holy triune Jehovah, is he who bore witness against them. Blessed are those sinners to
whom God sends such a faithful prophet. As God's prophet, Micah boldly
declared the lowest state of these who profess to be God's
people. Gath was the chief city of the
Philistines, and he calls on all the neighboring places to
witness this. God is witness against his people. He speaks here of Afra, means
a land of dust because of its lowness and poverty. Safer, though
beautiful, One that shall be made to know shame. And Zion,
which means a country of flocks, was to be judged along with Israel
and Judah. Micah declared God's judgments
upon them all. All who are in the earth are
sinners. All who are in the earth are
under the wrath and impending judgment of God Almighty. You didn't hear that, did you? Did you hear that? Your neighbors and your family,
your sons and your daughters and your mom and your dad and
your brothers and your sisters are under the impending wrath
and judgment of God Almighty. And their only hope is that God
might be pleased to send them a man like Micah to declare God's
truth to them. Do what you can, if you care
for their souls, to see to it that they hear the message of
God's free grace in the day in which we live. Oh, children of
God, how blessed we are when we read of such things that make
us tremble for those around us in this generation. How blessed
we are to see our God as he goes forth in judgment and for us
to take refuge in the chambers of his covenant that he's made
for us. The Lord hath made with me an
everlasting covenant, ordering all things insure, and here I
rest. Come, my people, enter into thy
chambers, and shut thy doors about thee, hide thyself, as
it were, for a little moment, until the indignation be overpassed. For behold, the Lord cometh out
of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth also shall disclose
her blood, and shall no more cover her slain. All right, in
verses three through eight, here's the third thing. First, God's
prophet, then God's witness, and now Micah describes God's
wrath. His indignation upon Israel and
Judah and upon all the earth for her idolatry. You see, idolatry,
is the great crime of humanity. Idolatry takes many forms. Covetousness
is idolatry. Idolatry is the preference of
man for anything other than God himself. It doesn't necessarily
mean, though it certainly includes the worship of stumps and the
worship of false gods, but it is setting anything in the place
of God. Idolatry is the great sin of
humanity. Idolatry breeds moral decadence. Religious idolatry breeds moral
decadence. Read Romans chapter 1. Religious
idolatry breeds moral decadence. When the Church of God follows
the counsel of men rather than the counsel of God, she always
falls into idolatry. Look at verse five. For the transgression
of Jacob is all this and for the sins of the house of Israel.
All this wrath, all this judgment upon all these nations all around
Jacob and Israel is because of Jacob's transgressions. And Israel
said. Now, Bill Raleigh, that's got
shoe leather for you. And me, it means that God's judgment
upon our nation is because of the idolatry, the transgressions
of people who profess to be his and profess to worship him. Judgment must begin at the house
of God. The nation of unbelieving, reprobate
men, The nation around is brought into judgment because men who
profess to be God's people worship and follow after false gods in
a false way. Micah was crushed. He was crushed. Look at verse
8. He was a faithful, faithful prophet. Therefore will I wail
and howl I will go stripped and naked.
I will make a wailing like a dragon or a jackal and mourning as owls
because of God's judgment. People often object to plain
preaching. You come here and I try my best
to expose what's in your heart, expose what you are, and leave
you no excuse for any of it. And sometimes folks object. People
object most everywhere I go to such plain preaching. They object
to it. They don't like that preaching.
It's too embarrassing. It leaves man no hope in himself. It leaves no plot for it. But it is by exposing our sin
that sinners are brought to seek the Savior. You will never seek Christ until
you need him. It won't happen. It won't happen. You will never call on God for
mercy until you need mercy. It won't happen. Brother Don,
we all know everybody's sinners. I'll tell you what, you leave
here tonight, walk out to Walmart and try to find me one. Try to find
me one. A sinner is a sacred thing. The Holy Ghost hath made him
so. The only folks who know themselves sinners, the only folks who will
acknowledge, openly confess to God what they are, are men and
women whom God Almighty has operated on by His grace and by His word,
revealing Christ in them. All right, let me show you a
fourth thing, very quickly. It's by the conviction of sin,
of righteousness, and judgment that sinners are taught of God
and trust the Lord Jesus. In verse 9 through 14, Micah
describes God's chosen. We hear much talk about God's
elect and the election of grace. We know that all the elect will
be saved and only the elect will be saved. I say we know that.
Not many people do, but you who worship in this place know that.
All God's elect will be saved, and only the elect will be saved.
Well, who are the elect? Look at verse 9. For her wound
is incurable, for it has come unto Judah. He has come unto
the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem. Declare ye it not
in Gath, weep ye not at all. In the house of Aphra, roll thyself
in the dust. Pass ye away, thou inhabitant
of Sephir. Having thy shame naked, the inhabitant
of Zanon, come not forth in the morning of Bethzel. He shall
receive you, of you his standing, for the inhabitant of Meroth,
waiting carefully for good. But evil came down from the Lord
unto the gate of Jerusalem. O thou inhabitant of Lachish,
bind the chariot to the swift beast. She is the beginning of
the sin of the daughter of Zion, for the transgression of Israel
were found in thee. Therefore shalt thou give presents
to Morshigath, and the houses of Axib shall be a lie to the
kings of Israel. Who are God's elect? God's elect
are those people who are made by the blessed operations of
God's grace to know themselves sinners before God. They know they have an incurable
wound from the sole of your foot to
the crown of your head. You're nothing but wounds and
bruises and putrefying sores before God. That's all you are. That's all you are. David said,
I was as a beast before thee, and he apologized to the beast. Man, at his best estate, is altogether
vanity. Your heart's wicked, desperately
wicked, and who can know it? Man who is the object of God's grace
is made to know himself a sinner with an incurable wound. And that will drive you into
utter despair because you try to make bargains with God and
you try make arrangements with God, and you offer to do things
for God, and you try to turn over a new leaf, and you try
to pray more, and you try to read your Bible more, and you
try to quit this and start that, and you start going to church
and quit staying out, rioting all the time, all those things.
And nothing works, and at last, God causes you to be brought
to the great deep, and you reel to and fro it as a drunken man,
and you're at your wit's end then. Then they call on the Lord. But
not till then. Not till then. And I don't try to get folks
to make a profession of faith. Try to get them to escape this
difficulty. Oh, Brother Don, won't you come
and talk to my boy? He's in jail. He's been arrested.
I believe he's ready to trust the Lord. Leave him alone, let's
see. Leave him alone, let's see. Years
ago, Brother Ralph Barnard was preaching. I believe he was preaching
for Jack Shanks down in Houston. And Ralph went to bed early.
And this lady called about 10, 10.30 one night after the meeting
and said, Brother Barnard, would you come down and talk to my
boy? He's in hell. And Rolfe knew the family. He
said, he's raised enough hell, leave him there for a while. How could you do that? That's
exactly what you ought to do. That's exactly what you ought
to do. Quit trying to talk people into professing faith and call
on God to bring sinners down, that he may lift them up by his
grace. Because until you're made to
know you have an incurable wound, you will never find a cure for
your wound. Who are God's chosen? They're people who take their
place in the dust before God. He said, roll in the dust. Afra,
the name means dust, land of dust. Take your place in the
dust before God Almighty. Take your place in the dust before
his throne. What do you mean, preacher? That's
where you belong. You don't deserve anything from God except your
place in the dust where God put the serpent who was cursed of
him That's all sinners like Adam in the garden Since their nakedness
before God who verse 11 Thy shame made naked naked. And if God will make you naked
before Him, or if God will strip you naked before Him, if He'll
do that for you, you will seek the garments of salvation, the
righteousness of the Redeemer. And if He doesn't do that for
you, you never will. Sinners In the bitterness of
Meiroth, verse 12. That's what the word Meiroth
means, bitterness. Painful bitterness. In the midst of bitter conviction,
sinners look for good from the Lord. Look for good. You just, uh,
start to look for good. Everything's going to be all
right now. You've been told all your life, everything will be
all right now. And it starts to look for good. But when God's
got hold of you and not some soul winner, when God's done
a work on you, not some, uh, not some clever preacher, you
look out of your bitterness for good. And God just brings evil. God just brings evil. He exposes
your sin, your corruption, what you are. He brings down from
Jerusalem above the light of his holiness and judges from
his temple and crushes you beneath his throne. Brother Harry Graham told me
one time, I was just a young man, he said, Don, when God begins
to work on a man's soul and the mighty operations of his grace.
If you have any understanding of what's going on with that
man, you'd think to yourself, I wouldn't treat a mad dog like
that. I wouldn't treat a mad dog like
that. God knows what he's doing. God knows what he's doing. You
see, this is called the time of Jacob's trouble in Jeremiah
chapter 30. the time of Jacob's trouble from
which God will deliver him. But he won't deliver you from
trouble if he never brings you into trouble. He'll never clothe
you if he doesn't strip you. He'll never lift you if he doesn't
lay you low. He'll never give you life if
he doesn't slay you. Chosen sinners, when called by
the grace of God, flee from Lachish. which represents every false
way, every perversion of the gospel. They flee from falsehood
unto the Redeemer. Now, look at verse 15. Yet will
I bring an heir unto thee, O inhabitant of Marisha. He shall come unto
Adullam, the glory of Israel. Here is God's determination. God will bring the glory of Israel,
our Lord Jesus Christ, to his own. And he will bring his chosen
as rightful heirs into his kingdom by the merits of his son. He
will bring them as rightful heirs into his kingdom. Turn back to
Jeremiah 30. Jeremiah 30. If you want to,
later you can read Isaiah chapter 8 and 9, and you'll see parallel
passages like this here in Jeremiah 30. Verse 12. Thus saith the Lord, thy bruise
is incurable, and thy wound is grievous. Verse 13. There is none to plead thy cause,
that thou mayest be bound up, Thou hast no healing medicines.
Verse 15. Why criest thou for thine affliction? Thy sorrow is incurable for the
multitude of thine iniquity. Verse 17. Incurable by anything
you do. Incurable by anything any man
would do. But God says, I will restore health unto thee. I will
heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord. Because they called
thee an outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh
after. Verse 24. The fierce anger of the Lord
shall not return until he have done it. That is, God's not going
to destroy this earth until he saved his people. Now watch this.
Until he have performed the intents of his heart. Imagine that. Rex Bartley, he's governed this
world according to the intent of his
heart. toward you. And he still does. And he will tomorrow until he's
saved all the seed of Israel.
