Welcome friends, to another edition of WBC Video News, where the Servants of God diligently seek to discern the signs of the times and deliver to you an unvarnished view of world events from a Bible perspective.
It would be irresponsible of WBC not to see the national and even worldwide maelstrom of intense discussion surrounding Michael Brown Jr.’s death and the lack of an indictment against Officer Darren Wilson and not bring Bible perspective to this matter, so let us consider this event today.
The politicians aren’t telling you anything of importance in this matter while they jockey for your favor, trying to please all sides of this issue with quips and platitudes and buzz words. Law enforcement doesn’t have anything for you while they stand around in this quagmire of scrutiny demonstrating their inability to enforce clear cut laws for fear your thug mobs will draw them into another incident. The lawyers milking the clock (and no lawyer is putting their thumb in this pie without seeing dollar signs) have no interest in your never-dying souls. These charlatans trying to pass themselves off as preachers – and yes, I’m talking to you, the unreverend Al Sharpton – these lying whores are smothering you with more lies than all the others combined.
The events in Ferguson show us many things about the state of this nation and where it is headed. WBC has warned you for years that these kinds of things are going to happen, and that they will happen with increased frequency, duration, and effect. Your peace is being taken from you:
“And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword” (Rev. 6:4).
You cannot look at Ferguson, MO, and think that peace abides there. It has been taken from them, and really all of this doomed nation, when you consider the number of violent eruptions, riots, and arrests that have occurred this past week across the country, all in relation to a thug being killed by a cop.
How did America get to this state? The Scripture tells us at Isaiah 3:12
“…children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths”.
Look at this sad scene. Michael Brown, Jr. was still largely a child. Look at a lot of these people looting and burning police cars – they’re children. Look at Lesley McSpadden and her utter lack of respect for authority, her loud-mouthed declarations and complete lack of humility throughout all of this. Look at these effeminate so-called leaders and their hand wringing over the whole matter. You have raised a generation of violent hoodlums, who have no respect for authority. You have taught them that authority has neither place nor meaning in their lives, and this anarchy is the result. You worship your children rather than exercising authority over them, and men long ago abrogated the role God put them in of being over their houses to the women. There are no men left in this nation to run it.
That means, to be plain, that Michael Brown, Sr. is directly responsible for the death of his son. By living his life in direct rebellion against the God who created him, he taught Michael Brown, Jr. to be a rebel and that recognizing authority had no place in his life. When he sloughed off his wife to take up and live in adultery with Cal, and allowed his wife Lesley to take off and live in adultery with Louis Head, he demonstrated to Michael Brown, Jr., that the God “which made them at the beginning made them male and female….and they twain shall be one flesh” (Matt. 19:4-5) didn’t really mean it. And if you teach your children that the only absolute authority in the universe has no power to punish or enforce His decrees, then there are no decrees that are needful to be followed.
We know that Michael Brown, Jr. was a thief. He clearly wasn’t taught “thou shalt not steal” (Ex. 20:15) at the table of his father, so it isn’t likely he was taught any of the other precepts of Scripture, despite Michael Brown, Sr. making a show of his supposed righteousness and profession of faith in his public baptism at Calvary West Missionary Baptist Church recently. He claims to know these things, but clearly didn’t keep them as frontlets before Michael Jr.’s eyes, or his DNA wouldn’t have been on Darren Wilson’s neck, clothing, and firearm. And by the way, Mr. Brown, that’s not a church, and you weren’t baptized into the body with that pitiful show.
Lesley and Michael are responsible for the death of their son by not “raising him in the nurture and admonition of the Lord” (Eph. 6:4). These two parents are just examples of what all the parents of this generation, especially of doomed America, have done to their children. You have worshipped them, you have set them up on pedestals, and you have raised them for the devil and hell.
Another key thing we are shown about the true America is your hypocrisy. When one of your thug children ends up predictably dead at the end of a criminal act, you want to scream about how all lives are valuable, all lives are precious, indeed, as your signs have declared, “black lives matter”. We agree. They do matter. But why didn’t any of those black babies you aborted this year matter? You live a life of lascivious sin, and kill the result of that sinfulness – an unborn black baby – at an astounding rate of 5 times more readily than white parents caught in the same sin. Did those newly conceived lives not matter, or do the lives of your children only matter once they have the ability to lift up their hands against those in authority to try and kill them? Your hypocrisy is breath-taking. If you want to be taken seriously, then act seriously. Stop killing your own children. Remember, ALL black lives matter, including the unborn ones.
Furthermore, if you want your children to stop dying, here’s an idea. Teach them to stop breaking the law. Teach them to respect authority, whether you like the authority or not. Teach them to do what the cops tell them to do and sort out the consequences or unfairness of the treatment later. Or here’s an idea, teach them a good hearty does of humility with this verse:
“For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God” (1 Pet. 2:20).
How does that apply, you might ask? It’s simple. SHUT UP when you think some cop is doing you wrong and deal with it later. Do what he says, whether he’s white, black, Mexican or martian. FOLLOW the LAW. If Michael Brown, Jr. had just gotten on the sidewalk when he was told to by an officer of the law, he’d probably be alive right now. You hear that, Michael and Lesley? If you teach your children to OBEY AT ALL TIMES, things tend to work out for them. If you people, black, white, Hispanic, whatever color, would teach your children to respect authority and do what they’re told when they’re told to do it, you’d have a lot fewer run-ins with the over-zealous power-hungry cops in this country. If you are despitefully used by a cop with authority, put away your pride and don’t confront the tyrant with the gun, much less put your hands on him or her!
This isn’t just about the rejection of authority, however. It’s about the de facto lack of authority from those in whom it is entrusted. From Obama down to the newest rookie beat cop, you have rejected God, and so why should anyone listen to you or follow your orders if you won’t follow His? When you see cops standing around like statues while all around them the businesses of hard working people burn, you have to wonder why they do not exercise their authority to arrest and stop that brutish behavior? The truth is, they’ve lost that authority because God has taken it from them and they stand paralyzed with fear.
Let’s be clear here. This isn’t just some racial divide. Is racism alive in America? Of course it is. It’s alive in whites, it’s alive in blacks, it’s alive in every skin tone on the color palette. But don’t think this is some unique issue God hasn’t dealt with or seen fit to instruct us on! Racism is just another example of the absolute lack of regard for the Sovereign God and His authority. It is a rejection of that merciful God, who set an example for all people for all time in the laws He established on earth for His people. Like this one:
“One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you” (Ex. 12:49).
This is uber-simple. There should be no difference in how people are treated based on where they are from or what their race is. Moreover, God is no respecter of persons when it comes to the only part of human history that will matter – that is, who inhabits heaven eternally – as we can see from Revelation 5:9
“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation”
If God doesn’t care about race, then why do you? Get past it. Stop blathering about wanting to buy the world a Coke and get serious about these matters. If you had one ounce of personal humility and charity toward one another, something as irrelevant as the color of your skin would have no bearing on your interactions. Shame on you all.
Of course, if those in authority don’t properly, with humility, exercise that authority and serve those over whom they have authority, then only anarchy reigns. Hear this Proverb, poignant for this hour:
“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn” (Prov. 29:2).
The people mourn because authority is not exercised properly, with a mind to serving those who need help of those in power, and that fits this nation like a snug glove. Remember friends, Westboro Baptist Church has been on the streets of this nation, actually preaching and protesting peacefully, as an example to all of you of how to do such a thing, for over 20 years. We know these cops. We know the cops of Missouri who tried to take our children. We know the cops of St. Louis and the surrounding area who have stood by while violence was committed against us for nothing more than our words. We know the cops of America who are more interested in worshipping their dead colleagues and dead soldiers than in upholding the law of the land. We know them in a way most americans could not possibly know them.
The cops in this country are largely corrupt, selfish, mad brutes, who thrive on abusing the power they have been given and operate almost entirely with impunity and with no regard for the laws of God, man, or just plain decency. Darren Wilson should shut his mouth, and put the words Christ had to say to soldiers and cops on his mirror to see every single day for the rest of his life, to wit:
“And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages” (Luke 3:14).
Darren Wilson killed another human, committing violence against him. He is an outstanding example of what is wrong with law enforcement in this country. His arrogance and declaration that he would do nothing different, that there was nothing he could have done in the entirety of that tragic event to spare the life of another human is breath-taking. By the evidence it appears he did nothing illegal. That doesn’t mean he didn’t do anything wrong, or that he should be trumpeting about how well he handled that situation and would do it all the same if he had it to do over again.
This is how cops have treated this humble little church for decades now. Behaving as if there is no recourse, no check to their brutish behavior, no need to hide their unbridled hatred of the word of God being preached on the streets they are charged with holding in trust. You are now seeing and experiencing the full brunt of that attitude and behavior, and seeing what it means to have your liberties and rights trampled upon by those who are supposed to protect them. You clap when it is done to WBC, and you riot like lawless thugs when it happens to you. Shameful.
Finally, you see in this event the unmitigated hatred of truth and justice. For this, you have the preachers to blame, like the unreverend Al Sharpton. In the face of the facts, these charlatans want to keep talking about things that simply did not happen as though they were gospel truth. They scream about justice when what they want is a lynching of Darren Wilson. The black preachers especially, instead of telling you to mourn for your sins and seek God in this matter, are all vying for who can get the most mic time. Instead of telling you parents to stop raising your children like Michael and Lesley did Michael Jr., they want to blather and scream about the slandering of his character. Instead of teaching your young people to respect authority and stop behaving like criminal hoodlums, they encourage you to keep lying to them, telling them they can live how they like and still go to heaven when they die, because Black Jesus loves everyone. Instead of showing you from Scripture how God is NOT blessing this nation and your only hope is to repent or you will likewise perish, they compete for the microphone so the money keeps pouring in.
And before you start yelling and screaming about how racist we are, never forget, friends, members of WBC have spent their professional lives working in this civil rights field, defending the rights of those who couldn’t defend themselves; they did so not at great personal gain or seeking it. They’ve done so because it was the right thing to do. We’ve had a front row seat to the hateful, bigoted reality of this nation for decades, so don’t go there.
There is no hope here, fellow americans. You can’t fix this mess. It’s too late for that. You had the chance and now it’s time for each of you to look at yourselves in the mirror and decide – will you follow God or will you continue to rebel? There is precious little time left to make that decision. We keep telling you and showing you these events to warn you and help you see that the king is returning, and He will return in fire, to judge. Hear our words or don’t. We cannot save you, but we do warn you.
Obey today, while there is still time. Amen.
