Brother, as sure as I’m standing in this pulpit, this country is ready and ripe for judgment. That’s right. I’m an American, and I love it. If a war breaks out, I’m ready to go. I had five brothers in the other war—four brothers, I mean. And we’re ready to go now. Yes, sir. This is the greatest nation there is under the heavens. That’s…I’m glad to be an American. That’s right. And if it’s worth…not…If it’s worth anything, it’s worth fighting for, it’s worth standing by. That’s true. But, brother, when we are weighed in the balance and found wanting, when the Gospel has been refused and turned down, and talked about…As you sow, so shall you reap. Israel was God’s favored people. That’s right. But as they sowed, they reaped. We’re bound to have a great time of judgment. The world is ready for it now, and going to receive it. You mark my words. And then if that don’t come to pass, you say, “He’s a false prophet.” We’re going to receive judgment. I feel it in the Spirit.
