This is Reverend Fred Proctor, Sr., the pastor, and we're glad that you're here. RotterdayBaptistChurch.com is a virtual church. It means we have everything that a regular church has, except we don't have a building that we meet in. We meet online and we meet in these studios, two different studios in two different states. But we're glad that you are here and trust and pray that you've already had a great day in the Lord. This is the Lord's day and this is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it. I'm going to call off some names that's on our prayer sheet, prayer list. And we are in the process, or have been and will be, of updating the prayer list. We get a lot of requests. And we have someone who works in the background and updates and everything. so these names Randy Kent and all of his family Randy had a stroke back several months ago and we've been praying for Randy and his wife Shane and all the family friends and loved ones and his brother Sammy pray for all of them and pray and ask it's God's will that he will raise Randy all the way back up like he used to be Also a special prayer for Melvin Johnson, Melvin and Judy Johnson. He has real problems with neuropathy in his legs. And I understand now that he's he's on a motorized vehicle, you know, not a walker, but one that has a motor on it and continue to pray. for Melvin Johnson and ask God if it's his will he will raise him up. Then we have a man his name is Benny he is from Kenya he has requested and asked us several times to pray for the work that he is doing there for the Lord so Benny over in Kenya we are praying and lifting you up that your work that you're doing to the Lord will certainly move forward. Special prayer for Amanda Crisp. She has a very serious problem. Pray for Amanda Crisp and all of her family and friends and loved ones. And pray and ask for your will that God will touch and heal her. And raise her up. Travis Proctor, we've been praying for him because he had some kind of a problem with his heart. and I have not received a real report, but I do see him on Facebook where he's climbing mountains and hiking. So we thank God for that, but continue to pray for Mr. Travis Proctor. Also, we had this lady, I think, on our prayer list, and then for some reason she wasn't on it, but she sent me a message. and Dr. Yarborough. Please pray for her and we will have some information up shortly. She is scheduled for surgery, some kind of a heart surgery, later on this month, in the month of November, and we will have that information up. Pray for Dr. Yarborough and all of her family and friends and loved ones. Shirley Winters were praying for her she requested prayer and I don't know what it is she didn't say but God knows what it is and she does so lift up and pray for Shirley Winters I have all kinds of people that are sick that need prayer and pray for them pray for everyone continue to pray for the people in Ukraine we lift them up because they're fighting an evil enemy. I truly pray for the people of Ukraine. Also for the hurricane victims in Florida and South Carolina. Then I saw last night or this morning down in Texas, I believe, tornadoes ripped through places and tore houses down and maybe churches and killed two people and wounded many. So there's much, much to pray about. There's much to pray about. And we continually lift up the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior. at this time we will go to the Lord in prayer Heavenly Father I bow before you and pray for all these special objects of prayer you know all things you have all power oh God you made every one of us and you can fix us if something's wrong if it's your will and we do not demand that you do anything we humbly pray and ask if it's your will, according to your perfect will, that you will reach down and touch and heal and raise up and fix that which is wrong. Oh God, for we know that you have the power to do it. And we humbly pray and ask for every situation that's going on in the world. We pray for everyone and pray that your will truly will be done and you'll be honored and glorified. For it's in the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior, that we humbly pray and ask it. Amen and amen. Now, I want to read some scripture and try to preach for a few minutes on this. And this subject is so big, so large, that there is no way that I could cover it, nor any other man could cover preaching. This message is found in the book of Ezekiel, chapter 38 and chapter 39. Ezekiel, chapter 38 and chapter 39. And I will give this sermon a title for every sinner, for every person who refuses to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior. This message goes out to you. Come to the supper of blood. Come to the supper of blood. B-L-O-O-D. Now, I'm going to start reading in Ezekiel chapter 38, verse 1. It says, And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, You see, God speaks to people. God uses people. God uses men. He uses men as prophets. He uses men as preachers and pastors and missionaries. So God speaks. Anyone, and I've heard a whole lot of it, well, have you ever heard God speak? Yes, many times. Not in a voice like this, but in the inner sanctums of my soul, the Holy Spirit speaks to me and makes it so clear that there can be no misunderstanding. So, welcome to the Supper of Blood. And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy face against Gog, G-O-G, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshach and Tubal, and prophesy against him. this is Gog is Russia and Magog is the land of Russia and we know this as many people who have confirmed this but this is something that's going to happen verse 3 and say thus saith the Lord God behold I am against thee O Gog G-O-G the chief prince of Meshach and Tubal verse 4 and I will turn thee back and put hooks into thy jaws and I will bring thee forth and all thine army horses and horsemen all of them clothed with all sorts of armor even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords. Now, he wrote, the only way he knew to write was what he knew. But this, what's going to happen is not just going to be horses and swords. It's going to be every kind of modern military, every kind of fighter jet, fighter bomber, every kind of military thing that has been built. And the heathen put their trust in the mighty military So we going to see very quickly what will happen And verse 5 Persia Now we know that Persia until I thinking it was 1929 Iran was called Persia. So you know that Iran is going to be in with Russia. Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya, with them, all of them with shield and helmet, Gomer, and all his bands, the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands, and many people with thee. Be thou prepared and prepare for thyself Thou and all thy company that are assembled unto thee And be thou a guard unto them After many days thou shalt be visited In the latter years thou shalt come into the land That is brought back from the sword And is gathered out of many people Talk about the nation of Israel But the modern day Israel is gathered out of many people against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste, but it is brought forth out of the nations and they shall dwell safely, all of them. Now, listen, verse 9. Thou shalt ascend, that means you go up, and come like a storm. Thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land. Thou and all thy bands and many people with thee. I believe, and if we could have the time to go on and read, You're going to have the vast majority of all the world assembled with all their mighty military might, assembled against a small nation of Israel. But we're going to see what happened before and what will happen. All right, verse 10. Thus saith the Lord God, it shall also come to pass that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought. And that is to say, hey, we're going to go up to Israel and take it, and we'll take the spoils. well until a few years ago you could ask the question what what spoils what do you what are you after there's nothing there but we see the mighty hand of God I have it somewhere but I don't have it in front of me it was not many years ago that Israel discovered two very very large natural gas that below it's discovered out in the sea but they told how many it's named after it has a biblical name but I forget it but as we see all I ask you is to look and see see how important natural gas is and has become and gas and oil has become Russia sells natural gas to Europe, European Union, NATO, the countries, and they can just say well we're going to raise the price of some exorbitant great high amount per cubic liter or whatever and those people in NATO and European Union, France and England and all those countries, if they don't want to pay it, Russia just cuts the pipeline down. That's it. So Israel discovered these two great bodies, reserves of natural gas. I think maybe it was the largest discovery ever. There's enough natural gas there to provide everything that Israel needs and they've already said we're going to ship, we will ship natural gas to Europe. And of course Russia and everyone depends on God fixed it. I don't care what this so-called New Green Deal says and everything. is going to run on electricity. No, you can't even run. You can't even create enough electricity to run everything in a normal time. Or if it gets too hot in the summer, if it gets too cold, you're going to have problems with the grid. So people are using natural gas. That's a big thing. Israel has two and they've already these great reserves they've already got one up and going and a pipeline and you can see that Russia and Iran and Syria and the Chinese Communist Party and Afghanistan and Iraq and all these countries they want to rule the world the one desire that the Chinese Communist Party has and Xi Jinping whatever his name is he makes no he doesn't even try to cover it up but promotes it and says our goal is we will rule the world well yeah I recall another time way back in the book of Exodus the children of Israel had went down from Canaan and Jacob and his family well Joseph was the first one he was sold in to bondage but God raised him up and truly used him to save the world save the people of the world but then the Bible says and God raised up another Pharaoh and he knew not he didn't know Joseph and he didn't care about the Israelites the Jewish people but he began he said come let us make slaves out of them well they can make brick and build buildings and build huge and large monuments and probably pyramids and stuff and they began to oppress the people of Israel to push them to push them and said what you the amount of bricks that you're putting out every day it's going to have to increase plus you're going to have to go get your own straw and he oppressed the people and he oppressed the people and he pushed and he pushed because he had a mighty army many chariots many great fighting men and soldiers and the people of Israel begin to moan and cry out to God and so God please deliver us out of this and God I do not have the time I hope sometime I can preach this sermon again I've preached it several times the amazing hand of God how that God was bringing about a resolution of deliverance and no one no one but him But no one but God knew about it. No one. My, we see the mighty hand of God when Moses was born. And the Bible said that his parents saw that he was a proper child. And they would not, you know, the order went out. You either kill them or throw them into the river. Kill your children. if you want the mighty hand of God of judgment to be upon you then you kill your children Manasseh who is the son of Hezekiah caused his children to go through the fire and he has been described as and I think the person that told me understands it knows it that he is a forerunner of the Antichrist That's Manasseh, killing the babies, killing the babies. So God was raising up a deliverer and no one knew it, but it was Moses. And you know the story of Moses. His parents put him in a little basket and set him in the reeds there on the river. and they knew where the daughter of Pharaoh came and bathed. And when she came, she saw a basket. She saw a little basket and said, Oh, bring me, fetch me the basket. And they brought it. And when they opened it, there was the little baby Moses and she said oh this is this is one of the Hebrew children And the Bible said that He began to weep. Now, I've heard this preached and I'm not I'm not here to stir up anything. I'd go along with it. So that God reached down and pinched him a little on the cheek of his face so he would cry. And it touched the heart. Of the daughter of Pharaoh. And I want this child. I want him. I want him. And all through this. God through his mighty and miraculous power. Raised him up. Had his mother. Raise him. And was even. Being paid. To raise him. And he was certainly. Telling him about. The almighty God. and so 40 years he left he killed an Egyptian and he had to leave he left for 40 years and then at the burning bush God called him and said go down you to go down and deliver my people remember now this was a great and mighty nation Egypt Moses went down he grumbled and didn't well I don't want I shouldn't do this. I don't know. Just go do it. Moses, go do it. And get a picture of this. A mighty, mighty nation. Egypt. Mighty armies, chariots, men of war. and Moses and Aaron went down and told Pharaoh God said let my people go and he wouldn't do it and he he said God will turn all water into blood remember we're talking about the supper of blood every drop of water in Egypt was turned to blood from the Nile River into every house, every place you went. He said, I've got a pot hid back there with water. I'll get me a drink of that. And when they opened it, it was blood. All the water was turned to blood. And they, oh, Moses, come down here. If you will ask God to remove this plague of blood, we will let you go. Which was a lie. Which was just a lie. And I will just sum it up and say that God had sent nine plagues upon Egypt. and by then Egypt was spoiled Egypt was destroyed all the everything that the cattle could eat everything and all kinds of pestilence and there was nothing left and he sent gods to locusts and devoured everything and Pharaoh called and said go get Moses and the wise men of Pharaoh and you know all he had to do was say whack his head off but they were saying pleading with him please let them go don't you see that Egypt is destroyed we are destroyed please Pharaoh let them go and Pharaoh and Moses went in and said yet one more yet one more plague because that's what God had told him and you will let my people go which was the Passover God told Moses to tell all the Jewish people take a lamb that's without spot and blemish kill it take the blood sprinkle it over the doorpost take the meat and cook it in a certain way and eat it because at midnight tonight death is going to pass through Egypt and in my mind's eye I can hear it as the Bible said there went up a cry such as never had been all through Egypt everywhere Egypt except the Jewish people Israeli people who had taken the blood sprinkled it over the doorpost when death passed through he passed over them. But in all Egypt, the firstborn of every house, he killed them. They died. Even in the house of Pharaoh, the firstborn died. As I went up such a cry, get out, get out, get out. And And the Egyptian women took their jewelry, their gold and necklaces and everything and gave it to the women and gave them garments and said, Please get out and go. You've destroyed us. Your God has destroyed our country, our nation. And keep in mind that Israel did not have an army, not one army. but it was God had said I will fight for you and you know how God parted the Red Sea and the Jewish nation walked across on dry ground well and here is Pharaoh his heart is hardened and he's mad and he gives the word go! go kill every one of them and they charged out into the dry land where God had dried it up parted the Red Sea and here's the whole army of Egypt all of their fancy chariots and weapons of war and when they got out in the middle God said bring it back and they saw the water closing in on them and they screamed and whipped the horses and said to make it fast, get us out, get us out. And the Bible said, God caused the wheels of the wagons to fall off. Folks, that was a long time ago. That was in the thousands of years. And not long ago, I saw where a dive team had went down in that same place and they had it, that captured pictures and video. There was chariots and all the chariots, all the wheels had fallen off and they were there and they were, after all those years, they were still protected in that water, preserved. You see, God just used the simple things and I don't think Egypt has ever gotten back to where Egypt used to be and I'm going to say I'm going to turn very quickly and here is I'm going to read this to you I've used it I read it every once in a while this is in the book of Psalm Psalm number two, beginning with verse one. Why do the heathen rage? The heathen are those that do not believe in God, do not believe in the Lord God Almighty, or they believe in the false God. Why do the heathen rage and the people imagine a vain thing? the kings of the earth set themselves and the rulers take counsel together against the Lord and against his anointed saying let us break their bands asunder and cast away their cords from us he that sitteth in the heaven shall laugh the Lord shall have them in derision that means They're so messed up. They don't know north from south. They don't know right from left. God's going to sit up there and laugh, and then he's going to have them in derision. Verse 5, Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill in Zion. I will declare the decree the Lord has said unto me, Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen. Let me back up and read this, verse 8. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Verse 9. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron. Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. Be wise now, therefore, O ye kings, be instructed. You judges of the earth Verse 11 Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry and you perish from the way when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are they that put their trust in him. folks we saw it we saw it I don't know I do not remember who the premier of communist China was but I was reading something might have been reading right here somewhere and the Holy Spirit impressed upon me so strongly to send an email to the premier of China and he told me what to put in it. So I went online, found his email and put the message that I was told to send. Get a King James Version of the Bible which nothing has been changed and read about the Exodus and what God done to Egypt. This is my message to him. And if you don't stop persecuting the Christians, God will do this same thing to China. And I sent it. And all indications was ever where it went, it said received. Received. He got it. I sent it. I had never thought about doing anything like that. I've not done anything since. But I do have a message for Russia and Iran and all these other nations that's mentioned and communist China. God doesn't have to do anything. God does not have to create anything. He's already got it. And China, communist China, I feel I have a very strong feeling for the people. and they're being persecuted and sent off into different kind of camps. But do you know that we have ways, and sometimes we do have a campaign where we are sending the gospel, we're directing it to Communist China and to Taiwan and Hong Kong because I have a special place in my heart for the people of China and how their leader is treating them. And I'm saying to you, you and your mighty armies, your mighty air force, your mighty navies, God will strike that down and you will be just like Egypt. You will have nothing. You know, I was shocked when I read that. The Chinese communist that's mainland China. As far as it pertains to Christians. They are the fastest growing nation on the face of the earth. told how many how many people every second converted to Christianity in communist China and the Chinese communist party you're trying to stop you're doing the same you're going down the same road that the pharaoh went you're going down the same road that the kings, some of the kings of Judah and some of the kings of Israel went down. And, you know, you're going, you're going to a supper of blood. You're going to a supper of blood. God said and I don't have the time my time is gone but listen God's going to call in all the buzzards we could call it welcome to the supper of the buzzards I know they're called different things vultures, buzzards crows, every every bird of prey will come in and they will eat the flesh your flesh you heathens that you've come against Israel God said there will be a great shaking in the hills and there will be a great earthquake such as never was or never will be and only one-sixth only one-sixth of your army and air force and navy only one sixth will survive and he says the reason they survived was because the hand of God and they go back and they're going to tell the heathen nations there is a God there is a God and he is in control do you know let me close with this there is that which is called the ring of fire though that has nothing to do with the song that Johnny Cash recorded I don't know who come out with it but it's in the Pacific Rim the ring of fire it's out in the west coast California, goes down and goes to parts of Alaska and certainly goes to the Pacific over into mainland China. Listen, I believe, I believe with all that lies within me, and I hope that you hear this, that the big dam, I think it's on the Three Rivers Gorge, the Three Rivers Gorge Dam. The people, the Chinese Communist Party has said, it is so great that there is no way ever that it will be broken or collapsed. well is that not what they said about the Titanic and his son on his maiden voyage I think God can snap that down like it was cornflakes or a sandcastle and it's gone here goes all this water please listen to me and this is not the battle of Armageddon that's a different battle this is a battle that's going to take place you either humble yourself before the mighty hand of God or he shall crush you and feed you your body and your blood to the buzzards now I'm going to ask you everybody if you're listening if you can bow your head and close your eyes this is a lot of it's not scare tactics it is not but if the truth does not scare you you have a problem God cannot lie this is the infallible inerrant word of God that I'm reading from and preaching to you about it will come it will happen all of your mighty army all your mighty armies and all your navies and air forces and missiles and scuds and all the other things that you use, God will smack it down. And you're going to wind up saying why. And you, you, if you do not accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, you will wake up in the pit of hell and be crying and screaming. And the Bible said there would be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. and this starts right with Zizing and goes all the way down to the peasants and everyone else I'm telling you I'm presenting to you the gospel of Jesus Christ bow before him and ask him to come into your life and say pray a prayer like this oh Jesus I'm a sinner I don't want to die and go to hell please come into my life and save my soul oh God I trust in you now I just want you to know that we're praying for you and you can contact us brighterdaybaptistchurch.com at gmail.com you can contact us from anywhere all around the world we're sending out the message folks you better get you better get right you better get right with God because that day is approaching.
