Darkness is not an affirmative force. It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light. This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio. It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite. Delivery people out of the bondage of mainstream media. And the philosophies of this world. God has called you and me to be His ambassador. Even in this dark moment. Let's not miss our moment. And now the Hamilton Corner. Good evening, everyone. Welcome to the Hamilton Corner right here on American Family Radio. I'm just going to tell you right now, you do not want to turn away from this show. I have to tell you so much has been happening along with you. I've been praying and fasting for our nation. And I have to tell you that God has given me a great peace, a great peace. Come with me. And I do have my inclinations as to what's happening and what will happen and I'll get to that But I just want to begin by saying Come what may we have to express honor and privilege of serving our Lord in this day that he has ordained For us. He has appointed for us. I pray that you are setting yourselves Full what I believe will be the next course in in America's history and our opportunity to be his hands and feet in this next stage. I truly believe that tomorrow, November 6th begins the next phase in America's history by God's divine providence and we have the express privilege of being his ambassadors in this time. Welcome to the Hamilton Corner. My name is Abraham Hamilton, the third. I'm the host of this program joined by the Corner contingent right across from me, your friendly neighborhood recovering with a holic perpetually that is and I'm telling the man is one who knows his way around the wood I'm gonna just say it to you like that. Just say it to you like that.

I'm gonna say it to you like that joined by produce extraordinaire in the screening room off and then often imitated but never duplicated the real J. Mac ladies and gentlemen we are ready to rock and roll with today's edition of the program and I have to tell you and this may seem counterintuitive to many, but I'm excited to be alive right now. I'm excited to be alive right now. I'm excited to be an American citizen right now. I'm most importantly excited to be a member of God's eternal family who has been dispatched to the United States of America in this particular juncture of human history. At this very moment, many of you, if not most of you are making your transition from your part time jobs where you generate an income to your full time jobs where you cultivate an outcome. And as you do so, I want to remind you to do so with intentionality. Understand in the primacy that God places on family. Understanding that his mandate for his ambassadors at each generation is to execute his commission. That our prime operative is to be is to execute his commission, he knows the variables of our life stages, of our familial context, whether we're married, whether we're unmarried, how many children we have, which stage of life that we're in, our socioeconomic status and all of those variables, he nevertheless calls us to be members of his body, which eat with each joint supplying without one member looking at another, an inviously desiring to be the other member of the function in the capacity of the other member, but recognizing that every member has his role, every member has her role to play. What a time, what a time, what a time to be alive. We will begin the program today as is our custom by turning to the Word of God. It is imperative that we refuse to endeavor to navigate this life by separating ourselves from God's Word and attempting to engage. You know that we embrace the word of God and we engage through the wisdom that he has provided us in his holy word, which is not some static book.

It actually is living and active. It has been made available to us. We're going to begin today's program in the book of Haggai. And we're like, who? Haggai, the book of Haggai, named after his author. Haggai's name means festival. The book of Haggai was written in about 520 BC. This is a post-exilic prophetic book. Some of you may recall that King Cyrus, the Persian, issued his decree in about 538 BC. This is when the decree was issued to allow the Jews to return to Jerusalem. This is after what began as the Babylonian exile. Then you had the transition of global superpowers from the Babylonians to the Medes and then the Medo-Persian rule and then the Persian rule where Cyrus issued his decree in 538 BC. to allow the Jews to return to Jerusalem, to both ultimately rebuild the temple and then the wall of Jerusalem, but the temple is what is in view in the book of Haggai. Well, what may not be obvious to many people is that those Cyrus issues this degree, and you have this tremendous fulfillment of the prophetic warnings and the prophetic writings of Jeremiah and others that the exile would only be 70 years, but the Lord would allow these people to return. But you have then this kind of Babylonianized, Hebrewic people, some of them struggling to understand the language, many of them estranged from the law of God. And so they returned back to Jerusalem, but there's a law from 538 BC. Now, Haggai is there at about 520 BC, and the temple construction, reconstruction has been stalled. You had Samaritans and others around the area who are actively opposing God's people their efforts to rebuild, and people like Tobias and Sandballot, who are not only nagging, but they're attempting to use force to prevent God's people from doing what is done.

6:27
And so the Lord sends Haggai, Haggai, to be His instrument, to encourage His people to resume the work. This is the background, guys, of what is happening here. And I want to focus your attention to today is Haggai chapter two, verses one through five. And this is what the word of God says on the 21st of the seventh month, the word of the Lord came by Haggai, the prophet saying, speak now to the rubable, the son of shield to you, governor of Judah and to Joshua, the son of Jehazadak, the high priest and to the remnant of the people saying, who is left among you who saw this temple in its former glory? And how do you see it now? Does it not seem to you like nothing in comparison? But now take courage as a rubable declares the Lord. Take courage also Joshua, son of Jehazadak, the high priest. And all you people of the land take courage declares the Lord. And work, and work for I am with you, declares the Lord of hosts. As for the promise which I made you, when you came out of Egypt, my spirit is abiding in your midst. Do not fear. Oh, man. Thank you, Lord. The book of Isaiah begins in chapter one verse one. What Isaiah is saying, sorry, what took I had with I said the book of Isaiah, the book of Haggai begins in chapter one verse one saying in the second year of Darius the king, this is when Darius becomes king after Cyrus had already issued the decree. Darius is also a military general in the Persian Empire. When we get in chapter two, when it says, on the 21st day of the seventh month, this is actually October 17th, 520 BC.

8:31
This date is the next to the last, to the end of the Feast of Tabernacles. Remember what I said? Hi guys, name means festival, means feasting. The second to the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles, You have the Jews in Jerusalem with a depressed spirit. The environment was very melancholy, very downtrodden as they are in the rubble. That's still that trying to recover from what was imposed upon the Jews by Babylon. Remember as an instrument of God's judgment. And so you have this depressed condition and it is in this environment, the Lord dispatch haggai to talk to both Zerubah, the civic governor and Joshua, the high priest. It's important that you note that. He doesn't highlight one or the other. He doesn't speak to the civic government structure or to the priest separately. He's speaking to them both as both have specific contributions to the reconstruction that God is requiring, that the rebuilding will take place out of the rubble that is there. He continues on and says, who has left among you who saw this temple in its former glory. See again, when you consider the dates 520 BC, this is about this is within the timespan of those who might be in their 70s who lived through Babylonian exile, having been exiled as children who will still remember the tangible physical glory of Solomon's temple. It's splendor, the gold and the wood and and all of the physical evidences of splendor and even opulence. And the Lord through Haggai is saying, how many of you remember that? Now, when you remember that and we see what the temple looks like now, does it seem like nothing in comparison to you? Does it make you think, man, this is look at how far we've fallen.
-
10:32
Look at where we are currently. We used to be, I remember when, stop me if any of that sounds familiar. And in the face of that, the Lord says through Haggai, but now take courage, Zerubah, declares the Lord, Take courage also Joshua, son of Jehah's Adak, the high priest, but not just the governor and the high priest, all of you people of the land. It's the governor, it's the priest, and all of the people of the land take courage, declares the Lord. Take courage for what God, just to be comfortable, take courage for what Lord, so we can feel better, so we can hold our chest and rock back and forth, and go mmm. No, take courage, why? and work! Take courage and work! Why are we working Lord? For I am with you. Look at verse 4. For I am with you. The rubble doesn't dictate whether I'm present or not. The disparate circumstances don't dictate whether I'm present or not. Your comparison to your condition today versus what it was years ago is not determinative as to whether or not I am present. I am present because I am telling you that I am present. In verse five, this is what the promise I made to you, when you came out of Egypt, my spirit abides with you. Now, my spirit, guys, this is one of the most encouraging texts from the Old Testament. It may not seem like it, but when you take into consideration the context of this passage, where they're looking around at this decimation, you can even imagine the the the fuhrer and the excitement when Cyrus issues his decree in 538, but then to have all of that kind of water poured, a wet blanket poured over that flame, because now it's almost two decades after that decree. You can imagine some saying, man, we're never gonna have a temple.
-
12:35
We're never gonna see this again. And it is in that moment, God dispatches, hey God, it's take courage. Do not fear, work for I am with you. And by way of reminder, the reason why you are not to fear, It is not some humanistic mind over matter. It is not some braggadocious internal observation based on who we are alone. The reason why you are not to fear, because I am abiding in your midst. Haggai goes on into prophesies that the glory of this latter temple will exceed the former temple. Now that makes completely zero sense when you think about the natural comparison. And do you remember what we had? Was Solomon? gold, shields and all, not copper. And he's talking about the glory is gonna be greater in this second go round. You have, you must be crazy, mate. Hey man, I gotta play for you to go, man. We got a jacket and you know, maybe straight. You may hard time working around, man, but you might be crazy. But what had guy didn't even realize, that God was declaring prophetically what was to occur. When his presence in his temple is no longer a physical structure, but he's rejecting to a new covenant when the temple is one that is not made of brick and mortar, but it is comprised of the hearts and minds of his people to wear the echosy of God, the called out ones, to where the spirit of God doesn't visit individuals from time to time, but whosoever will let him come, for as many as come to me, they will have the capacity to be indwelled by his spirit in regeneration. This is what the Lord was pointing to, prophetically through Hagar. But the key component is do not fear because I am in your midst. Just as the scripture bears this out, I know America is not Israel, but God is still God. And God is the one who has the final say concerning what America is and what she will be. You and I do not have the authority to say what is and what will not be, but God by His spirit is endeavoring to remind us that He is still in our midst.

14:42
And God does not need a voting majority for His will to be done. What God requires is you plus Him, are a majority. What our posture must be is what come with me. We know you are in our midst. Shiting light into the darkness, this is the Hamilton Corner, an American family radio. Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton the third year. I truly believe that is where we are as a nation, not identical to, but similar to Haggai and the context of the environment when the Lord dispatched him to minister in Jerusalem that we have an opportunity because we are in an America with a bit of rubble to a sense, especially, morally and spiritually. And what we will be is within God's divine providence, but we have the opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus and seeking a construction that is consistent with his This will, hence my encouragement the last few weeks, what is your plans for November 6th? What is your commitment for November 6th? I want to read some things to you, things that are familiar to most of us. But it's worth revisiting this. July 4th, 1776, the unanimous declaration of the 13 United States of America, when in the The course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them.
-
16:46
A decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator, capital, by the way, with certain unalienable rights that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, that to secure Before these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people. Right is capitalized here, the right of the people, capital P, to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government capital G, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to affect their safety capital S and happiness capital H. Our founders articulated the just pursuit of our separation from England with a direct appeal to natural law. As you've heard me explain before, everyone alive in the literate world of the late 18th century when this declaration of independence was drafted would have heard the phrase, the laws of nature and nature's God as a direct reference to the authority of the God of the Bible in a description of a national entitlement that nations are entitled by God to live according to these self-evident truths.
-
18:58
That was the initiation of what became what has become the United States of America. Now what people often forget is that after this time period, the Revolutionary War is fought and you have an experimental period under something called the Articles of Confederation. It was the failures frankly of the fledgling nation under the Articles of Confederation that led first to the Mount Vernon, Vernon meeting at George Washington's home that wasn't heavily attended. But the Mount Vernon meeting at George Washington's home, George Washington's home created the opportunity for what was described as the Annapolis Convention, where Alexander Hamilton invited the states to send delegates to this next meeting that was to take place in Philadelphia in 1787. And it was during the Philadelphia, 1787 meeting that the mission statement of the declaration received its implementation mechanism and what we now know to be our US Constitution. drafted first and ultimately, drafted in 1787, ultimately ratified finally in 1790. But that US Constitution begins thusly. We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this constitution for the United States of America.
-
21:00
What began in 1776 was further elucidated 11 years later in 1787. Our nation is unlike any other nation in the history of the world, where the we the people of our constitutional preamble is meant to be the implementation mechanism of a recognition of the self-evident truths made evident by the laws of nature and nature's God. These two, these twain principles provide the guardrails, the railroad tracks, if you will, for this United States of America. This is why there's such a feverish, I would argue, demonic attempt to rewrite, to conceal, to obscure our nation's history because you cannot look at the founding of this nation without seeing the God of this nation's founding. Even when you read the preamble, when you get to the portion of it where it says to secure the blessings of Liberty blessings is capital B. Similar to the understanding that the reference to the laws of nature and of nature's God would have been understood in the late 18th as a synonymous reference to the laws of the God of the Bible, the exact same people would have recognized that wherever there are blessings, you are seeing the evidence of the Blesser. There can be no blessings without a Blesser. Would we have the opportunity today? And I've been talking about this. Yesterday I mentioned that God required the kings of Israel to hand write their own copy of his law, to keep it with them all of their days, to meditate upon it daily to write their copy in the presence of the Levites for the people to know that this is what is requiring of their kings. Yes, there was a drift to where when Josiah arises, they didn't even know there was a such thing as a book of the law.
-
23:09
The temple had become in such disarray. He began his reformation project was saying, man, we need to get this dusty temple. You know, the same one that the remnant of Jews in 520 we're mourning over and not looking like. And similar to what we know from scripture, our nation has experienced a drift. You can say whatever you wanna say, but you cannot successfully refute the notion that we have experienced a drift, but we have the opportunity to change course. We have the opportunity to reverse course, that when we consider liberty, we don't detach liberty from the fact that liberty is a blessing. The blessings of liberty flow from a blesser in our declaration. When Thomas Jefferson, the penman, but remember he was a part of a committee, when he articulates the self-evident truths among which governments are instituted among men to secure these rights, because these governments derive their just powers from the governed. But whenever government becomes destructive of the self-evident truths becomes destructive of these unalienable rights. It is the right of the people to alter. It is the right capital R to change course. Brothers and sisters, we have our right to change course. You've heard me lament on this program that one of the great detriments of modern American life is that we're looking to government to address things that God is ordained as church to lead the way in, but it doesn't have to continue to be that way. When I'm saying that we have the opportunity to launch into the next phase of American history, our nation will be what we allow it to be.
-
25:25
What will we make of the liberties that we enjoy, of the time that God has given us, of the land that God has planted us in, of the freedoms he has made available to us? In many ways, our societal degradation has flowed contemporaneous with the churches winnowing and influence and potency. And I'm going to say this very plainly, and I hope everybody in the country is listening to me right now. We will never be able to be effective in external fruit bearing when we persist continually in unholyness and personal living. What we often see manifesting itself publicly is the reflection of the decay of the heart. But thanks be to God, thanks be to God that we're not limited to our own wherewithal. And if God could get a hold of us individually. In many ways I believe this is what the Lord is truly attempting to accomplish because the world is going to work. But will He or day to be the pillar and ground of truth, His church? He is ordained to be salt and light. We become lightly salted by him. But by God's grace, we have an opportunity to change course. And I want to be clear about something else as well. I know for a fact, there is no political candidate that's the savior of America. Miss me with all of that. God nevertheless is sovereign and given his people an opportunity to respond. What will we do in light of where we are?
-
27:34
First posing on the east coast of our nation, some places have already closed. We have about another 25 minutes before other states begin to close some things that I want to share with you just so that you can be aware. I would encourage you to tune in to stay tuned and I should say to a F.R. election coverage after my program ends. I'll be a part of portions of that coverage as well. When things concluded last night after I got off the air, you know, I was delving into some numbers and things of that nature. Historically, voters who support Democrat candidates outpace Republican voters significantly in early voting. Well, in six of the seven battleground swing states, early voting between, in terms of those who participated in Republicans and Democrats, were about tied. The only exception to that was Pennsylvania. So in Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada, early voting was about tied. historical trends hold true and let me let me go back and say something else to you that the reason for the for the for the statistical tie in early voting participation is it necessarily an overwhelming surge among voters who are Republican it's actually in a dilution and turnout of Democrat voters. All right. Now, if historical trends hold true, because just as early voting historically has been dominated by Democrat voters, election day voting historically has been dominated by Republican voters. If historical trends hold true in this regard, in this regard, it could indicate, obviously I'm not saying it will, it could indicate a victory for President Trump at the top of the ticket.

but there also are a host of down ballot issues. And I've been explaining this before. There's 34 sentences that are up, that are up for election. You have several that have, that are potential flips. I direct you to look at this race in Montana, to look at the race in West Virginia. Well, Joe Manchin has changed his affiliation. Now, what I'm discussing now is just some of the practical details. You know, what I'm just discussing now is, Think about when Paul was incarcerated and you had really members of the Sanhedrin trying to kill Paul. They had a scheme to kill him and the Lord revealed it to Paul and Paul told his nephew. Remember this in the book of Acts? But before that the Lord already assured Paul, I know you've been beaten, you're bloodied, but you must testify to me in Rome just as you've done here in Jerusalem. So he assured Paul that he wasn't going to die in Jerusalem even though there are people out to try to kill him there. That's the spiritual reality that got revealed to Paul And then the practical reality on the ground was Paul's nephew heard about the scheme heard about the plot Paul instructors nephew to go and tell The authorities that this is happening and then before they could execute the plot the authorities wished to Paul away from Jerusalem and to Cessaria Philippi So what I'm talking to now about these practical Electoral results a just that the practical information But never forget God is sovereign and he rules and reigns in the affairs of men So as I have been saying, I'm going to give you this information, but I want to encourage you to take heart, do not fear, and embrace what God's vision is for you and me and for his family and our nation that starts tomorrow. What will we be? Brothers and sisters, what such a time is this God is afforded for us to be alive. For those of us who are believers, the Lord has allowed us to be members of eternal family, dwelled by his spirit. And I for one am excited to be a part of God's plan for Ireland in this time. And I would encourage you to open your heart equally what God would have for you because as every joint supplies, I'm faithful where I've been positioned and you faithful where you've been you've been positioned duty is ours results of the Lord.

The Hamilton Quarter podcast and one-minute common terrors are available at AFR.net back to the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio. Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, man. It's flew by. We're already in the third segment. It's just, it's amazing how you have, and we've discussed this before, but you just have consistent evidences of it, the type of projection that transpires over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. You have those who frankly, they simply lie to try to provoke an emotional upheaval in people, they call President Trump, they get fascist and all this kind of stuff. And the whole point is to get people to get that, you know, he did serve as president. He has been in the Oval Office. There was no none of these things that you talk about, but they want people to forget those types of things. And where you have those making these accusations, they conduct themselves in such a way where where they reveal, well, the truthful reality is that they want to be what they're accusing other people of. Here's a late example, a recent example of that. It comes from none other than Rachel Maddow at that place. She begins to explain her desire to see the government contracts with SpaceX and all now, now, now that she has learned Elon Musk's true colors. Now, he no longer should be able to have these contracts. Listen to and watch clip number one. Go. Even if Trump doesn't win, the Defense Department and NASA are going to need a new arrangement for all their rockets. And for all the multi-billion dollar contracts, Elon Musk's companies have with the U.S. government. The U.S. government is going to have to either unwind from all of those contracts or Elon Musk's Companies are going to have to unwind from him.
-
34:10
This is an untenable reality in national security terms. Now that we know what we know about Elon Musk. Now, aren't these the same people that scream fascist? Fascist? Fascist? Yet. What have you learned now? Madam Madau, that you didn't know before. Oh. Oh, oh, he has different political inclinations. then you thought then he had previously. You notice you never saw none of this when these folks, when he's making these green cars, he's making his robots, you know, he's talking about he wants to live on the moon. None of that, none of that, none of that caused them to say, oh, he has to uncouple from his government contracts. These billion dollars of government contracts, none of that indicated he had to uncouple from his government contracts, none of that. Now that we've learned his true colors, man, and you're the one that screams about fascism. Literally. And this is what I'm talking about. And I know many of you listening to me, y'all tell me I get the emails, I get the notes, I get the calls. Like, hey, people don't believe me when I tell them the stuff you share with us. This is one of the exact same people who would talk about fascism all day long in terms of President Trump being a fascist. Yet she doesn't even recognize what she's advocating for. It's straight up fascism, or even worse. She does recognize that it's straight up fascism, but she wants you to misunderstand what she's asking for. None of these people had none of this rhythm for Elon Musk when they thought he was a committed lefty And the thing is on a lot of things he still is But he had the horrible experience of one of these, you know, dr. Johanna Olsen Kennedy type people and that's what that's what I don't want to talk about Man, I don't want to talk about what is the one what why has Elon Musk changed course like this? because his own Sun Had one of these lying doctors who if they would have had the study that was concealed from the American public they probably would advise his very own family.
-
36:19
Do you want a living daughter or a dead son? And then you get all the other things, the economic considerations, his attempts to do business, and he's coming into government red tape over and over and over again. Then you literally see, these are the people talking about, oh, we need to make sure y'all, because you know, these old black people here, they can't get ID's, you see? So that's why we can't have voter IDs, like, the only reason why you don't want people to have voter IDs is because you want to cheat. We have IDs for everything, library cards. It's insane, man. And you use these words, you throw them out so much, the exact, the express purpose of using it is to completely deprive these words of their meaning. So that we have no substantive understanding society of what these words mean, and we all we have is the emotional inclination that is connected to them. So now, because Elon Musk's politics diverged from Rachel Madows and the regressive, Regressive left in our country now all of a sudden Oh either either Elon Musk can't have any more contracts or Elon Musk can't have his company pick one Guys is sick is sick We've gotten to the place Who has not merely partisanship it is sanity in reality versus insanity and Detachment from reality that is where we are Our society has degraded to such a place that that is where we are. Hence, my description, in light of what is available to us in the Book of Hagai, that we're at a place where we are confronted with rubble. Where do we go from here?
-
38:19
Do we lean further into the insanity and the detachment from reality? Do we go further? Or do we recognize, I don't like this rollercoaster, I'm ready to get off. This is where we are. And come with me, this is a context that God has given us. Another just an indication of where things are. A report that just came out from the National Association of Realtors. The average age of home buyers in the US has risen by six years just from July of 2023. risen to an average age of 56 years old. Listen to this brief report. It's clip number two. Go. Okay, there's a new survey out from the National Association of Realtors and what it finds is that first-time home buyers between July of 2023 and July of this year were richer and older than they were before, which is to say first-time home buyers in that period had a median income of $97,000, that is up from a little bit under $96,000 the year before. The more interesting number here is the median age of first-time home buyers. It's now 38. That is a record high. A generation ago, the typical first-time home buyer was somebody in their late 20s. So that's a huge difference in terms of the ability to afford a home, the ability to start transitioning your family into home ownership and as the realtors observed, quote, the people who can get in are really a select few. That's crazy. And it's just an indication clearly. This is not the end all be all of the status of affairs in our nation, but it is an indication that the trajectory we're going toward is moving away from independence and more on dependence. You know, there are two statistical references that we need to understand the distinctions average age versus median age, right?
-
40:23
So you have an average age versus median age, the average age has jumped up to 56 years old. For first time, home buyers. First time, the median age, this is among those who have has jumped up to the late 30s. It needs to be in the 20s. Because we are cultivating a manner of living That is producing more dependence. Remember when you heard me say something before? That when you have people that champion themselves civically and politically that we are, we are the champions of the poor. What do they need in order to stay in power? They need poverty. So if you have a person that's present themselves to you as the champion of the poor and they want you to help them to remain in power, do you expect their positioning to aid you in becoming more or less poor. And here's the thing, this is why I'm presenting this to you. When you have a society that militates away from independence and more towards dependence, what's another synonym in terms of civic impact of dependence? Control. When you are dependent, you are easier to control. When you're independent, you are less easy to control. and you see this happening in many different ways, and I just wanted you to see that because the ultimate object for those who would be proponents of being champions of the poor is that they need poverty to stay in power. And when that transpires, the progressive edict as echoed by former Harvard Law School Dean Christopher Columbus Langdale, that government replaces God.

We're at a critical juncture, critical, critical, critical juncture. But as I said to you before, and I'm excited for the opportunities that are available to us now, and mainly, and when I say opportunities, I mean the opportunities to be faithful, to be the Lord's hands and feet, to be a part of God doing through His people in our day what we've seen recorded in Scripture. That amazingly, when the heat by government, for example, Nero's Rome was elevated against the Lord's people. What happened with the Lord's bride? You know, you're talking about Bebe's kids, you can try to light us up like teaky torches. We don't die, we multiply. When the heat is applied, all throughout the history of the Lord's bride, that amplification of civic, personal, and physical heat did not result in a decimation of the Lord's witness through his people. It resulted in a refining, a purifying, and an augmenting of that witness. We have an opportunity for that to occur in our day. But we have a slightly different dynamic to where we're not subject to a monarchy like in Nero's Roman Empire. We have an opportunity to engage and determine and participate in what will transpire. What a time, what a time, what a time. again, and within the next four minutes and 40 seconds, states like Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, South Carolina, Virginia, Vermont, their polls will close, and we'll get to learn more details as to what we'll transpire. But again, I would encourage you, just like I'm encouraging myself and a position in my heart, to what will we be, where will we be, where will we be on November 6th?

We are transitioning into the next phase of the history of this American Republic, this constitutional republic with democratic features. We began with we hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal. That declaration was propounded by we the people of the United States in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and to our posterity. We ordain and establish this constitution for the United States of America. Whenever there are blessings, there is the blesser. By God's grace, may we take full advantage of the time we have on this side of eternity to contribute to the fulfillment of our station in real life. That is in the eternal state. I am grateful to God that he made me a citizen of these United States. I'm grateful to God that when I could have been born anywhere else in the world, God by his divine providence made sure that Abraham Hamilton Jr. met tequila Hamilton. That's my mom's name by the way. And out of the desire projects in New Orleans, Louisiana, the Lord allowed them to meet and for me to be here in this time at this juncture of his story. And that the investment in the commitment is not only to see America be great, but that Americans can be great.

Greatness is not determined by our economy, by our stock market, by our GDP. Greatness, the touchstone of greatness is man's willingness in embracing and submission to the authority of the Most High, the true and living God. And by God's grace, when we wake up tomorrow morning, He opens our eyes. Our feet hit the ground, that all of that transpires with the commitment and the willingness to execute what God is calling us to. And if you are listening to me and you are not yet a believer, do not harm your heart. Come to Jesus while you can. Because when things are unsure around you, there is one who is sure the rock was hired in us is always stable. You all have a great evening. And by God's grace, God's grace, I look forward to being with you tomorrow. God's great night.
