The Enemy Within

[0:00] So we turn to Jude, the letter of Jude. We started this last week in a short series, in a short book, four or five weeks in Jude.

[0:11] And we started last week looking at verses one down to verse four. Just to summarise for us very briefly, we saw that this is a letter written by Jude, a servant of Jesus, but we know also Jude, the brother of Jesus.

[0:27] And just, we know till last week, remember, that Jude, we presume, was one of the family members who once called Jesus crazy. We now see him calling himself a servant or a slave, literally, of Jesus.

[0:42] And we saw that he's writing to this church, this gathering, and he had meant to write something to them, something positive in verse three, something good, something about their common salvation.

[0:52] But Jude, he's ever heard, or he's been prompted by the Holy Spirit, whatever's happened, we don't know. But he's been prompted to encourage this church, who are facing this gathering of Christians, who are facing the horror of false teaching in their midst.

[1:12] So last week I did introduction, verse one down to verse four. And this week, we've got a big chunk this week, not going to rush through it, but this big chunk, it deals with one issue, and we'll see that at the end.

[1:23] Looking tonight, verse five down to verse sixteen. Verse five down to verse sixteen. I know it feels like there's a lot of different things going on. This section, roughly verse five down to verse sixteen, Jude is bringing together one main point.

[1:39] And so not to ruin the sermon, I won't get the whole thing away, but the point's simple. Jude, and this is the main chunk of his letter, his main point is to the small struggling church, who are facing false teachers, who are distorting and perverting the gospel.

[1:57] Jude says to them, to the Christians here, don't worry. They will face their punishment. Yes, they're bothering you now. Yes, they're twisting the gospel now.

[2:09] Yes, they might be taking folks away from your number now. Yes, they're saying awful things about your saviour, about you now. Yes, they are ruining the gospel cause now. But don't worry.

[2:20] God is just. God is not mocked. And God will have justice. That's the main section of this book. And we said last week, we're not doing Jude just randomly.

[2:32] I mean, all God's word is good, but we have to have some reason. We try and focus. We try and make sense of why we preach it. You remember we were doing our season of Trinity. And we said last week, here we see what we're learning, I hope, put into practice.

[2:48] That we learn about the Trinity, yes, but why? So we can defend it, hopefully, that bit better when our Mormon friends or JW friends come to speak with us. And here we see the Christians not facing nice, pleasant Mormons knocking on their door.

[3:03] They're facing false teachers who are insidious, who seem to be weaseling their way into the very congregation itself.

[3:15] And we'll see more of that as weeks go on. So verse 5 down to verse 16. Just taking it section by section. And the first section, really, verse 5 onwards, Jude reminds the people that God is just.

[3:32] He does so, first of all, by reminding them that God is just, that God is not mocked. By showing and reminding them from history that those who rebelled against God before, that God dealt justly with them.

[3:44] He's saying, no matter what you're facing, you're facing these false teachers who, by their teaching, by their conduct, are twisting God's word, are rebelling against God.

[3:56] God says, do not worry. I've dealt with people like this before. And Jude gives three examples of how God deals with those who are rebellious towards him.

[4:07] Verse 5, first of all, where Jude brings to their mind the very first example from history. Verse 5, now I want to remind you, although once you fully knew it, that Jesus, who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.

[4:27] Cash reminds back 40 years of wondering why. Because they disbelieved in part, the report of the spies. 40 years of sinning, 40 years of falling away.

[4:38] And we know that not one of those who were rescued, of the children of Israel who were rescued from Egypt. What did they not see? They did not see the promised land.

[4:49] They did not trust in God's promises. They did not trust in God's truth. And God, at least physically, did not allow them to enter into the promised land.

[5:02] Those who doubted God. Those who rebelled against God. For them there was real consequences. Numbers chapter 14 gives us a summary of that.

[5:13] The Lord says, So Jude starts by reminding them, That of the thousands of people who the Lord saved out of Egypt, Who rebelled against him, who did not trust him, Who at times twisted his words, Who at times worshipped the other false gods, Who made their own idols for themselves.

[5:58] Jude says to these Christians, God was just towards them. He then goes even further. Second example in verse 6. First example, Children of Israel.

[6:24] Jude then says, Here's a second example of how God deals with those who are rebellious towards him. It's not just the humans God deals with. He also deals with the angels who rebelled against him.

[6:38] Here we see, in summary, The Lord dealing, of course, with the fallen angels. God is just when dealing with spiritual beings also. Now, we see here, of course, The Christians and Jude write into, They're dealing with humans.

[6:54] They're dealing with men and women who are false teachers, Who are bringing in a false gospel. But we know, we reminded last week, It's not flesh and blood we wrestle with, is it? No. But those who are against the gospel, They are just serving their own masters.

[7:08] They are serving their spiritual masters, Who in turn are serving their one master, The devil. The devil and his demons and the legions who serve him. They also are not escaping justice.

[7:22] Not in the slightest are they escaping justice. Justice. These angels who are made by God to glorify him. Angels who are made to be, As it were his own precious people, His own precious creation.

[7:35] They were given glory. They were allowed to be in the presence of God, To be serving God. They were existing so close as it were to the very face of God. And yet, we know that many of these angels, Because of pride, Because of our desires, Because they were led so easily by the evil one, Who, because of his own pride, Fell.

[7:58] We see that they rebelled against God. We know that. They rebel against what the Lord gave them, What the Lord made them to be. And because of that we saw, The angels who did not stay within their own position of authority.

[8:13] God gave them authority. He gave them place and glory. He gave them reason and function. He gave them duties to perform. And they rather do their own thing. Follow as it were of their own pride.

[8:25] And because of that, They left as it were their proper dwelling. And because of that, Because of their rebellion, Their willful rebellion, The Lord Has done justice towards them.

[8:38] He has kept them eternal chains Under gloomy darkness. In other words, They are awaiting hell. God is not mocked.

[8:49] Isaiah Prophesies, Just in passing, About this final day, When the angels And men Will each But equally face Their justice.

[9:00] Those who rebelled against God, Humanly speaking, And those spiritually Who rebelled against God And the angels. Isaiah says, On that day, The Lord will punish The host of heaven In heaven And the kings of the earth On the earth And they'll be gathered together As prisoners In one pit.

[9:22] They'll both be punished But in the end, They will face hell Together. In other words, All levels of creation, Both spiritual realms, Above our understanding, Who have rebelled against God, Down to the false teachers Of Jude's day, To the false teachers Of our day, Who cannot repent Or who will not repent, Who do not repent, Equally will face Wrath Of a just God.

[9:47] And Jude says, Do not worry. If even the angels Will not escape The justice of God, Then have no fear. Those who pervert the gospel, Those who cause you Such great pain And great misery By twisting the words Of your glorious saviour, They won't escape it either.

[10:04] The third example Is verse 7, Of course. Using Sodom and Gomorrah, Just as Sodom and Gomorrah The surrounding areas, And so on, And so on.

[10:19] The Lord is merciful, But the Lord is not mocked, We know that. We know Sodom and Gomorrah, But we won't go over the story Just now, We know the account. And Sodom and Gomorrah, In many ways, Were given chances.

[10:32] But we know that When the angels came, And arrived in their city To, as it were, Rescue Lot, But also to spy out the land, What do the men of the city do? The men of the city, Seeing these good looking New men in the city, They try and grab them, They try and abuse them, They try and assault them.

[10:51] And even when the angels Blind the men physically, We see them grasping at the door, Trying to get in, To get to the men, To assault them, To abuse them. Sin, The depths of sin, The depths of depravity, When God is aware, Removes even part of his hand, We see the reality of who we are.

[11:11] And the reality is, We think of all these awful people, All these awful men, And Sodom and Gomorrah, And the awful things they did. Brothers, we are them. Brothers and sisters, When we see all the evil in scripture, And judges, We are these people.

[11:25] We think we're not capable of these things, We are. In us dwells, Sin. And that sin is capable of being, Horrifying.

[11:38] Horrifying. The Lord is good. But of course we know, That those in these cities, Do not repent. And they attack the angels, And they try and get to the angels, And we know what happens.

[11:48] Of course the Lord, With fire from heaven, Levels. The whole plain levels. The whole area. God is just. God is merciful.

[12:00] But God is not mocked. Again, these three examples, Are there to remind the people of Jude's day, That yes, you're suffering now. But remember back, And think back, That God allowed for a while, Yes, people to rebel.

[12:17] But there's always an end point to rebellion. God does not allow people to rebel forever. And even for ourselves today, Think of those who claim the name of Christ, But who publicly and privately, Perhaps are two different creatures.

[12:34] Again, I don't know specifics, But just thinking out loud here, Perhaps you know of people, Who behind the scenes, Were horrendous people. Who behind the scenes, As it were, Were devils.

[12:48] And you think, Where's the justice there? Where's the righteousness there? How can I be right? Well, the glorious gospel truth is, That justice is done.

[12:59] Justice is always done. Either now, Or, In eternity. And God is just. And God is good. And he will have his way.

[13:10] And his way will be perfect. Whether we see it ourselves or not, We can trust in a just God, Who lets no sin past. It's either paid for by Jesus, As we trust in him, Or it's paid for in hell forever.

[13:22] God is good. God is just. But God is also holy. God is also holy. So these three examples, To remind them that God, Is who he says he is.

[13:35] And God will allow for a while, Perhaps, The false teachers. But he will not allow them, To carry on forever. He then goes on to speak, More of the false teachers, In verse 8 now.

[13:47] Yet in like manner, That's like manner, In terms of those, Who have rebelled against God, In these three examples. Yet in like manner, These people, These false teachers, Relying on their own dreams, Defile the flesh, Reject authority, And blaspheme the glorious ones.

[14:05] Three more distinctives, Of these false teachers. They rely on their dreams, They defile their flesh, And they reject, As it were, Divine authority. What's the central theme of that?

[14:16] Once more, Same as the father they serve, The father of lies, It is pride. They put themselves, Against God, They put themselves, Against Jesus, And they say that, Their reality, Their truth, Is better than biblical truth, Better than God's truth.

[14:34] And by doing so, They show, They're just, Full of nothing else, But pride. They go on their own dreams, Whether that's dreams, As in visions, Or dreams as in ideas, The same word could be used.

[14:49] But they're all about themselves. False teachers are all about themselves. All about how they can, Project their idea, And their vision, And their plan, And the effect it has on people, They don't care.

[15:02] As long as they, And their charisma, They and their power, Can get the upper hand on the crowd, They'll make it work. We see this, Okay, We won't name names tonight, But plenty of false preachers, You can see online, On telly, And they've got, The most glorious lifestyles, Million pound mansions, Million pound churches, Multi-million pound churches, And they're most charismatic, Often very handsome, Very convincing, But it's all about, Them isn't it?

[15:33] Take that back down, Away from the mansions, And the flashy cars, There's plenty of false teachers, When I say in our midst, I mean in normal life, Not in Tolstice, But in our own life, You know, In our own churches, Throughout the years, There are men, We are sure, Charismatic, Engaging, But as it were, There's no fruit, There's no fruit, At the end of the day, It's all about, Them, All about, As it were, Their dreams, And they defile the flesh, They project holiness, But behind the scenes, Perhaps, Their lifestyle is one, Of lust, And licentiousness, And disgust, And reality is, The divine, They reject, It says here, They reject, This divine, Authority, They are the centre, Of their gospel, They are the centre, Of their lives, It's all about them, And they twist, And bevert the gospel, To make it fit, Wherever they want, To make it fit, To give more example,

[16:34] Then he quotes, From verse 8 onwards, Here now, This is one of these sections, Verse 8, And verse 9, That have caused, Many questions, That will indeed, Cause many questions, And I'll be honest, We'll leave this evening, Having answered, Perhaps not many of these questions, Because, Verse 8, And verse 9, We often get stuck on, I'll read them very briefly, Yet, In like manner, So on, Down to verse 9, But when the archangel Michael, Contending with the devil, Was disputing about the body of Moses, He did not presume, To pronounce a blasphemous judgment, But said, The Lord, Rebuke you, You think, Well, Where's that in the Bible?

[17:16] What on earth, Is you talking about here? Where in the Bible, Does the archangel Michael, Talk about the body of Moses? Well, It's not there anywhere, And you'll find it anywhere, It's from a work, Called the assumption of Moses, And we actually have, No copies of this, No full copies, We do we have, To hand today, But in God's providence, The early church fathers, Had copies of this, That was still around, In their day, And they quote, In their commentaries, About Jude, They quote, The book that Jude's, Reading from, And Jude's referring to here, It was a really popular, Jewish, Book, We think, Well, Why is it mentioned here?

[17:58] And we often, Fall into the trap, Myself included at times, But if it's mentioned in scripture, It means, We must have to, Add this to our theology, But Jude is doing, What any good writer does, Isn't he?

[18:10] He's quoting from the material, That they had of the day, To make a point, Jude is not saying, That this is true, He's just saying, He's reminding the readers, Who are from Jewish background, He's making an example here, It's imagine, As if I am, Writing a letter to yourselves, I'm hearing, There's false teaching going on, In North Tulsa, And I write a letter to you, And I say, Well, Do you remember, Two weeks ago, In the Shennachis, There was this article, About being truthful, Or whatever, There was an article, About faithful preaching, Now someone, A thousand years from now, Would say, What to Shennachis, What on earth are you talking about?

[18:49] That doesn't matter, It's a point, To try to make, And here Jude quotes, From a book, That's common in the day, He quotes from a book, That people don't understand, Like Elgo preachers, He's trying to use, Illustrations, And examples, That make sense, To the ones, He's preaching to, And what's the story here?

[19:08] The story was, That when, The body of Moses, Was being moved, That of course, The devil wanted, The body of Moses, And as Michael, Is there removing the body, Or taking it away, To be, Buried, Or from bowed, To glory, We don't know the story, We don't have, We don't have fragments today, But when the devil, Contracts, The archangel Michael, Michael does not, Although Michael, Has a power to, He does not himself, Destroy Satan, Or attack Satan, Or rebuke Satan, Instead, What does the story, Say that Michael, The archangel does?

[19:45] He did not presume, To pronounce a blasphemy, And misjudgment, But Michael says, The Lord, Rebuke you. All Jude is saying here is, If even, The archangel Michael, When faced with the devil, Doesn't use his own power, Then how much more should we, When faced with the devil, And false teachers, Turn to the Lord?

[20:08] If the archangel Michael, Had to turn to the Lord, And use the Lord's name, And bring the devil, To face the Lord, Then when we are faced, With false teachers, When we are faced, With falsehoods, When we are faced, With spiritual attacks, And evil, Don't do it, In our own power, We can't, It won't work, We take it, To the Lord, But these people, Verse 10, Blaspheme, All they don't understand, And are destroyed, By all, That they like, Unreasoning animals, Understand instinctively, They walk in the way of Cain, And abandon themselves, For the sake of gain, To Balaam's error, And perished, In Korah's, Rebellion, Cain, And Balaam, And Korah, What's the one thread, In these three stories, There are men, Individuals, And groups, Who did not give to God, The glory, He was due, Murderers, Abusers,

[21:10] In Balaam's case, Who abused the gift, Of prophecy God gave him, Cain, The murderer, Sons of Korah, Who worshipped, Falsely, Evilly, Who thought of themselves first, Like all false teachers, It's all about them, And nothing about Jesus, And Jude is saying once more, Church, God is not mocked, He dealt with these individuals, He dealt with these groups, He will deal with false teachers, In your midst, Their end is certain, Their end is sure, He then takes one more description, Of the false teachers, In verse 12 onwards, They are hidden reefs, At your love feasts, As they feast with you, Without fear, Shepherds feeding themselves, Waterless clouds, Sweat along by the winds, Fruitless trees, In late autumn, Twice dead, Uprooted, Wild waves of the sea,

[22:13] Casting up the foam, Of their own shame, Wandering stars, For whom the gloom of utter darkness, Has been reserved, Forever, In other words, They are hopeless, They are helpless, Hidden reefs, At your love feasts, Love feasts, Were either, We're not quite sure, Either a term for the Lord's supper, Or just for community feasts, Community gatherings, As the church gathered together, We see them written, Once again in scripture, But also in secular sources, Every time the church came together, To share a meal, As brothers and sisters, We call it a love feast, And Jude saying, When you come together, As brothers and sisters, Either for the Lord's supper, Come together, Just as brothers and sisters do, And bear in mind, In the early church, The Lord's feast was celebrated, We think weekly, If not weekly,

[23:13] Then a few times a month, So every time they come together, Jude says, These false teachers are there, And they're like hidden reefs, And again, Those of you, Those of you who have been on a boat, And we heard from men's breakfast, Like every man here was on a boat, At some point in your life, Apart from, Myself and Ben, The old ones out, You know of hidden dangers, But the boat can be going well, But beneath, The boat, Just beneath it, There is, There is a wear of this, Hidden reef, This hidden jagged rock, And they're waiting there, Just under the surface, They can't be seen, Always smooth, Always calm, But they're waiting, Just to come, And to shipwreck your faith, Jude saying to them, Be careful, At your happiest times, Times of communion, Your happiest times, Times of fellowship, Watch out, These false teachers, Are there amongst you, Waiting to destroy you, Quoting then from Ezekiel,

[24:13] They're shepherds, Who feed themselves, They're called to feed the sheep, As all ministers are, And elders are, But instead, They feed themselves, Waterless clouds, Useless, Functionless, Just there, Fruitless trees, In late autumn, Twice dead, And uprooted, Fruitless tree, Bad enough, A fruitless tree, In late autumn, Has no chance, To give more fruit, Too late, A fruitless tree, In late autumn, That is dead, Twice dead, Has no hope, A fruitless tree, Twice dead, In late autumn, That's up on its end, Uprooted, It's gone, It's gone, It's gone, It's gone, It's gone, We have no hope, No help, They're just waves, With foam, But what is their sure end? Well, Jude is clear, isn't he?

[25:14] They're wandering stars. The image there, it's what we might call comets, perhaps, or meteorites. Shooting stars for us. They're glorious, they're bright, they're beautiful.

[25:27] But they peter away into what? Back out into the darkness. They're glorious, they're beautiful for a second, but then never seen again, never cared for again, never heard again.

[25:41] These false teachers, they're glorious, they're intriguing, they're beautiful, perhaps, in their preaching and their style and their application. But eventually they fly out back into the darkness from whence they came.

[25:56] For whom the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved forever. A dark passage, a hard passage, but it's there.

[26:08] The Lord has his answer for these false teachers who happily, for their own gain, for their own pride, for their own charisma, for our twisted reason from the depths of hell itself, the Lord has prepared for them a place of utter darkness, along with the fallen angels and the devil himself.

[26:29] And again, he now quotes in verses 14 down to verse 15. He quotes from Enoch again, a book we don't have in our Bibles, but a book that was common in the day.

[26:43] He quotes from Enoch. But Enoch reminds his people that one day the Lord would come to judge and rescue. The Lord is coming with what? Ten thousands of his holy ones.

[26:57] Again, God is not mocked. And here's a central theme again of this section. Jude says, yes, they will attack you.

[27:08] Yes, they are laborious. Yes, they will drag some away into false teaching. Yes, they are perverting the gospel of Jesus. Yes, they are slightly and carefully and with craftiness changing the gospel to suit themselves.

[27:24] Yes, they are only after their own pride, their own glory. But don't worry, Jude says. The day is coming. The Lord will come.

[27:35] And nothing will be hidden from him. He will come to convict all the ungodly of all their deeds of ungodliness that they have committed in such an ungodly way.

[27:46] And of all the harsh things that ungodly sinners, these false teachers have spoken against him. And again, he's writing to real people.

[27:57] He has one last list there in verse 16. Just to remind them who they look out for. These false teachers are grumblers, malcontents, following their own sinful desires. They're loud-mouthed boasters, showing favoritism to gain advantage.

[28:13] We might say in our modern language, we might call them those who are narcissists. Narcissist comes from a Greek term, it's a psychological term. Narcissist who spent his whole life, as it were, staring at his own reflection, didn't he, in a pond, in a river.

[28:31] Being obsessed with himself. Whose whole world is themselves. Whose whole gospel, although sounds good, actually behind the scenes, it's all about them. How they can gain, how they can benefit.

[28:43] And they don't care how they destroy congregations, how they destroy lives or families or individuals. Or even sadly, they don't care that even in their false teaching and false belief, they will eventually destroy themselves.

[28:59] And we have these people. They are, as a church, not in Tulsa, but as a church I'm sure, at large. Let's never think they're not here.

[29:11] Let's never think they aren't amongst us. And like Jude reminds the people, we must be watchful. I said this before, perhaps about some placement. Very brave for a student to say some placement.

[29:23] But I'll challenge you again. It's important to be challenged to this. It's very quick and very easy and very sad. How ministers and preachers can fall subtly and easily into false teaching.

[29:39] I know for a second think that your own minister is not able to do the same. I said this years ago, again on my placement, but I'll say it again. It's a genuine question.

[29:52] Related to this, well, I end up this thought. If tonight, or if next Sunday, or over a few weeks or a few months, you realize that I'm verging away from the text, I'm verging into my own ideas all the time, or you think I'm saying things.

[30:09] Not that you disagree with, because that's one thing. But things that you can say aren't biblical, aren't true, aren't right according to God's word. How willing or how ready would you be to say to myself, or probably to the elders, I think something's going wrong here.

[30:27] I think Donald is not preaching the word well. I think there's false teaching entering here. That sounds like a game to play, but actually, it's when congregations and ministers and elders are not ready to face the truth.

[30:45] A false teaching comes in. It twists. It destroys. It kills. I'm not saying you have to analyze every sermon. Please don't. Please don't. But I'm just saying, as a congregation, we have to be mindful and watchful.

[30:58] It can happen to us. It's happened to our congregations from our own denomination, who do not see it coming. But once it comes, it destroys. It twists. The gospel is changed.

[31:09] People's lives are destroyed. And it's misery. But God is not mocked. And God will have his way. And God will have justice on the false teachers, either now or in eternity.

[31:20] And that is the hope Jude leaves the people with. And we'll see next week. Doom and gloom today. But next week, verse 17 onwards, we see the call to persevere all ending in the glorious doxology.

[31:32] As Jude reminds his people. I won't go into the sermon. That's two weeks time. But God reminds the people that he is able to keep his own people from stumbling. We give praise to God for that fact.

[31:44] Let's bow our heads in a word of prayer. Lord, we thank you for the gift of your word. That by your word we find ourselves anchored. And by your word we find ourselves secure.

[31:57] Help each one of us, Lord, publicly as ministers and elders. But also privately as brothers and sisters, sons and daughters. Help us to steer our lives, steer our minds and our thoughts by you and by you alone.

[32:12] Pray, Lord, just now for the ongoing exposure. The ongoing defense. The ongoing attack and the future destruction of all who pervert and destroy the gospel.

[32:27] We pray, Lord, for our salvation now. But with failing that, we pray, Lord, that you would be just and have your justice and glory. In eternity to come.

[32:38] We come, Lord, knowing that we ask for a thing that's beyond our power. You are good. And you are holy. And you are perfect. And you will protect your church.

[32:49] And you will claim your church as your own in the final day. And you will not lose or leave or forget a single one of your own people. Help us, Lord, then to persevere in North Tulsa.

[33:00] We thank you for the years of faithful preaching and teaching in this part of your vineyard. Help us, Lord, to persevere and to keep on in the same vein of that faithful preaching and teaching.

[33:12] Help us to be fearless in the day we find ourselves in. Facing head on with the gospel truth. The many challenges which will come our way. Help us, Lord, at times to be careful. At times to be as wise as serpents.

[33:25] But always as gentle as doves. Help us, Lord, as a congregation to be bold in gospel proclamation. But also to be wise in how we proclaim it. Give us, we ask, that wisdom to lay hold on every single chance.

[33:38] Every single opportunity to proclaim the gospel to those outside of our people here. We pray, Lord, for many dark homes in Tulsa this evening. That you would work and move and bring many, many to glory.

[33:53] All for your glory. All for your name's sake. Help us believe this evening. Perhaps with many questions on your word and the texts we read and studied this evening. Help us, Lord, to go to you with these questions and to go back to your word of these questions.

[34:06] And to discuss together, perhaps. And to work through these things as a church family, knowing you're glorified every time we pray or discuss or ponder these glorious things.

[34:16] It's good for us to do so. Look after us, Lord, and keep us. We thank you for the gift of prayer, both public and private. Do you hear the prayers of your people? Help us and keep us.

[34:28] Keep us following carefully after our Savior. We want to purchase us with his precious blood. All for his name. All for his sake. Amen. We can sing, then, in conclusion to God's praise.

[34:42] Psalm 99. Psalm 99. Scottish Psalter, Psalm 99.

[34:54] We can sing verses 1 down to verse 5 of the psalm. Psalm 99, verses 1 down to verse 5.

[35:05] The eternal Lord doth reign as King, let all the people quake. He sits between the cherubims, let the earth be moved and shake. The Lord and Zion great and high above all peoples is.

[35:17] Thy great and dreadful name, for it is holy. Let them bless. Psalm 99, verses 1 to 5. To God's praise. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks.

[35:28] Thanks. Hear the Lord that reign and sing, let all the people quake.

[35:43] His steps between the children, let them be rude and shame.
