… You don't want to do that. Psalm 33, verse 8 and 9. Let all the earth fear the Lord. Let all the earth be in awe of the Lord. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. For he spoke and it was done. He commanded and it stood fast. Man, I love that. That's how God flexes. He just goes, yeah, yeah, that's right. I spoke it, it was done. I commanded it, it stood fast. Why am I saying this? Because God knows exactly where you're at. he's that great. And if he was great enough to do all these great things in creation and you are more important to him than creation. Is that amazing? He loves you. Look, Jupiter is amazing, I guess. I don't know. I've never been. Probably won't go. But Saturn, right? We've seen these things in telescopes. Pretty amazing. Astronomers are in awe of the observable universe. I get it. They should be. But they should be giving God the glory. …
And all God's people said, Amen. You may be seated. we'll be looking at Psalm 33, verse 12, out of this great Psalm, verse 12, is going to be the special verse of our day as we celebrate America's 250th birthday. By the way, you do know that the celebrations are supposed to be all year long. So be aware of that, by the way. I like the fact that it's not relegated this year to one day. but Ben Franklin, we'll hear from him in a moment about his view and his worldview about God in what was going on in the world and in America at the time. But there's an anonymous quotation, and I want to make sure that you hear it today. It's important. It says, to visit history is to visit the works of God. I like that. When in the course of human events, he appears. God is always looking, according to the Bible. He's always looking, the scripture says, for someone that he might show himself strong on their behalf because they have decided to do good. …
There is to be, in the fullness of time, a Second Coming of the Lord Jesus. He who went up from Olivet sent two of His angelic servants to promise that in the same manner as He went up into Heaven, He would return again. He shall surely come. Virgin souls who are awake and watching for the midnight cry will hear it before long. And when He comes, "the dead in Christ shall rise first"—there shall be a resurrection of the just at His appearing. So He has promised" and, "blessed and holy is he that has part in the first resurrection: on such the second death has no power." There are no bonds of death that can hold the saints in their graves when the Lord descends at the sound of the archangel's trumpet! God has said that they shall arise—and it shall be so. They shall, everyone of them, return from the land of the enemy and then will follow the millennial glory—we will not explain that splendor—but we know that it is promised, and that whatever has been foretold by God shall surely be! The saints shall possess the Kingdom and shall reign with Christ! And Heaven and the eternal future in the Glory Land where the ever-blessed God shall reveal Himself unto His servants, "and they shall see His face; and His name shall be on their foreheads"—every golden word, every sapphire sentence which glows and sparkles with the Glory of the Most High and the loving kindness of the Infinite shall be fulfilled! It shall be said of the whole, "and it was so." Yes! And concerning the dread future of the lost—those awful words that tell of fires that burn and yet do not consume—and of a wrath that slays and yet men live beneath its power—verily, verily, "These shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into life eternal!" These shall all be fulfilled! Heaven and earth shall pass away, but not one Word that God has spoken shall fail. Of doom or of glory, of promise or of threat, it shall be said, "and it was so." And when the end shall come and Christ shall deliver up the Kingdom to God, even the Father, and the drama of history shall be ended and the curtain shall drop and God shall be All-in-All—all shall be summed up in this sentence, "He spoke, and it was done. He commanded and it stood fast," He said it, "and it was so." …
