On Sunday, 19 firemen from the Prescott, Arizona, fire department died in a wild fire in Arizona. This was the deadliest day for firefighters since the September 11 attacks, and it is the deadliest wildfire for firemen since 1933.
When a so-called tragedy like this happens, you can be sure that several things will happen. First, the entire nation will band together to try to pretend that God had nothing to do with it, and the deceased people will be revered and lionized. If the name of God is invoked, it is only to demand that He bless the dead people and their friends and families. In this particular case, the deaths are being blamed on a shift in the wind. The Arizona State Forestry Division said: “The fuels were very dry, the relative humidity was low, the wind was coming out of the south. It turned around on us because of monsoon action. That’s what caused the deaths.” No, you ignoramus, a sovereign God turned the winds around on you, and a sovereign God caused the deaths.
Who do you think controls the wind?
For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods. Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places. He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries. (Psalm 135:5-7)
When it was all said and done, Arizona’s governor said “God bless them all.” Can you think of a more perverse definition of the blessings of God than to say that burning 19 of your heroic idols alive is a blessing? This is like saying that God loves the people in hell.
The second thing you can count on at a time like this is that Westboro Baptist Church will give you a reality check, and we did that here. We told you unabashedly that this was a mighty work of God, and we praised and thanked God for it. We told you that God is punishing you for your sins (notably fag marriage). This fire is a foreshadowing of the final conflagration:
…he shall baptize (or, immerse) you with…fire: Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. (Matthew 3:11-12)
But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s fire. (Malachi 3:2)
The third thing you can count on is that the same people who are busy worshipping the dead men will attack the Westboro Baptist Church for telling you the truth about the situation, and just like clockwork, that is happening now. Even as our message is spreading like wildfire (pun intended), the state of Arizona is trying, and miserably failing, to keep the preaching of Westboro Baptist Church out. Our message is from God, and no man can shut that door.
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. (Isaiah 55:11)
Today, Arizona lawmakers are saying that our message won’t be heard within 300 feet of a funeral. We intend to picket these funerals, but today, I am sitting here over 6 million feet from Prescott, Arizona, and I think that you are hearing me just fine.
Amen.
