Remembering the Babylonian Captivity It is worth remembering the example of Israel being taken into Babylonian Captivity as shown in 2 Kings 20:18, 2 Kings 24:16, 1 Chronicles 9:1, 2 Chronicles 36:20, 2 Chronicles 36:22-23, Ezra 1:1-4, Ezra 2:1-2, Ezra 5:12, Ezra 5:13-16, Nehemiah 7:6-7, Psalms 137:1-9, Jeremiah 20:6, Jeremiah 24:1, Jeremiah 29:1, Jeremiah 29:4-14, Jeremiah 32:5, Jeremiah 34:3, Jeremiah 39:7, Jeremiah 40:4, Ezekiel 12:13, Ezekiel 17:12, Ezekiel 17:16, Ezekiel 17:20, Daniel 1:1-7, Micah 4:10, Matthew 1:11, Matthew 1:12, Matthew 1:17, and Acts 7:43. We ought to remember the Babylonian Captivity in the Old Testament so that we do not exalt "liberty" above righteousness.
USA: United States of Anti-Monarchy This sermon shows why the United States of America was founded upon the repudiation of monarchy, especially Biblical Monarchy. It was Thomas Paine who coined the term "United States of America" on 29 June, 1776. As we know, Thomas Paine was a lost sinner who denied The Bible and Jesus Christ as Savior. This also means that the anti-monarchy Founding Fathers will be judged by The King of Kings, Jesus Christ, on Judgment Day.
Patriotism: The Sin of Respect of Persons Patriotism is characterized not just by the sin of idolatry, namely idolatry of a temporal nation, but also that of respect of persons. Verses like Acts 10:34-35 and Romans 2:11 are worth noting in times where people are told to be patriotic towards a country.
Righteousness: The Highest Precedent For a Nation This sermon really shows that righteousness, not freedom and liberty, exalts a nation. The words of Proverbs 14:34 are prudent words in times like these where nations like America value "liberty" and "freedom" instead of righteousness. As demonstrated, whenever "liberty" and "freedom" take precedence over righteousness in any nation, rebellion against righteous authority only ensues. From Yehovah's Eternal Perspective, righteousness always takes precedence.
Popery: Legacy of Nimrod This sermon proves that popery is the legacy of Nimrod, who was a rebel against the Righteous Authority of Yehovah. Every pope is a literal Nimrod seeking to make the Antichrist known to the world. A sermon like this predicts the future demise of popery and the Vatican.
Worldly 'Freedom': Idol of Americans This sermon really shows why the American people are so idolatrous with regards to maintaining their worldly, but temporal "freedom", which is outlined in the U.S. Constitution with its Bill of Rights. Never forget that Yehovah raised up tyrannical rulers back in the Old Testament. It is worth remembering the example of King Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 2:37-38. This idea of Yehovah raising up tyrannical rulers to oppress a rebellious people is inconsistent with the republican, especially American, way of thinking. As this sermon demonstrates, republicanism is rebellion against Yehovah. Such rebellion against Yehovah called republicanism was demonstrated in Ancient Greece and Rome. Just as the Ancient Roman Republic was foreordained to implode, so is the American Constitutional Republic. This sermon is a call to repent of the idolatry not only of the First Amendment, but also that of the U.S. Constitution and any temporal worldly "freedom."
Popery: Foreordained To Be Engulfed By Hell It is important to remember the story of Korah's rebellion and demise in Numbers 16:1-50 in times like these. Just as Yehovah put down the rebellion of Korah by having the earth engulf him and his followers, so Hell itself has, and will, engulf every single pope and his Rebel Catholic followers. This means that the rebellious popes, and their Rebel Catholic followers, will be judged at the Great White Throne and be cast into the Lake of Fire, which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. Worth remembering Revelation 20:11-15 and Revelation 21:8.
Unpopular Preaching Against A Popular Subject This sermon is unpopular Bible preaching against a popular subject like the U.S. Constitution given that the U.S. Constitution promotes majority rule of "We The People." This sermon makes it evident that the founding fathers founded the Constitutional Republic for the purpose of bringing forth the kingdom of the Antichrist, which means that the founding fathers were in rebellion against Yehovah when they first ratified the U.S. Constitution in the year of 1788.
Great Sermon! I read The Waldenses by Wylie and loved it and his style. Now I'm reading The Papacy by Rev. Wylie and it is so amazingly good and thorough that I searched for more writings by him and found this site! Thank you! This is a wonderful introduction to this brilliant scholar and tells the truth, which is fast vanishing again in our world. The Papacy shows in vivid detail what the Reformers were really up against!
U.S. Constitution: Invention of Secular Humanism The whole intent of the U.S. Constitution since it was first ratified on 21 June, 1788 was to create a secular humanistic society where "we the people" are the sovereign entity. No doubt the U.S. Constitution was instrumental in the creation of a democracy, but if "we the people", more like we the sinful people, are the sovereign entity, then that would infer that Jehovah is not the Sovereign Lord. We, as the Lord's Chosen People, must not get sidetracked into advancing a secular humanistic republic, since Jehovah intends on establishing His Eternal Kingdom on the Earth from Jerusalem in Israel. Our service to the Eternal Kingdom of Israel will put any "service" to any secular humanistic republic to shame.
First Amendment: Instrument of Pluralism While the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution is well-intentioned, the fact is that the First Amendment is an instrument of religious pluralism in the United States of America. The other issue is that "freedom of religion" is used against Biblical Christianity in that Biblical Christianity is exclusive as evident in verses like John 14:6, Acts 4:12, and Acts 16:30-31. A secular society based on "freedom of religion" will tolerate every religion, except for Biblical Christianity. It is also rather accurate to say that Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations is in agreement with the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution in that both promote what is known as "freedom of religion." As we know, "freedom of religion" had no place in Old Testament Israel since Jehovah, The True God, declared, "thou shalt have no other gods before me." This sermon shows why the First Amendment's principle of freedom of religion is contrary to the entire Bible, including the First Commandment.
High quality recording Following the example of Charles Koelsch from 'The Prince of Preachers' here on SermonAudio.com. The right voice, intonation, volume. Does justice to the writings of the Puritans. May the Lord use this reader more and more.
