I would like to make a statement. In connection with the Dutch preaching here... which we can represent for the Netherlands, but also here... the Council of Springford has forbidden me... that something has happened, but a decision has been made without me, about me. I have no right, because the church council of a municipality has the right to ask who they want. Although I have maintained this municipality since 1989, a decision has been made without me. It has even been read off. ...at a member's meeting. The only reason was that I held Dutch services here. I'm not saying this to justify myself... ...because who can justify themselves? But I want to have said it to our friends in the Netherlands... ...and to those who fear the Lord... also in the Netherlands, who just asked me to continue with the readings of the Psalms. You understand that this is a decision that will have some consequences. But again, I'm not saying that I have personal reservations. I do want it to be clear. also for the Netherlands, what this means. Let us now begin our service. Our help and our only expectation. In the name of the Lord, the Lord, who created heaven and earth, who keeps faith and lives forever, and who never ceases to celebrate, The only work that began with his hand. The grace and peace of him that is, and that was, and that shall come, and of the seven spirits that are before his throne, and of Jesus Christ, who is the witness of faith, the firstborn from the dead, and the highest of all the kings of the earth. Amen. Dear friends, let us sing Psalm 75 together. The first verse of Psalm 75. You will find it. Amen. Amen. He's come home to you. Amen. He's come home. And the order of treatment is Psalm 75. But before that, with the Church of All Times and Places, we read the twelve articles. I believe in God the Father, the Almighty Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord, who was received by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, who suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried in the lowly valley of Hell. On the third day, again rising from the dead, ascending to heaven, sitting at the right hand of God, there will be mighty fathers from whom I will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit. I believe in the Holy, General Christian Church. The fellowship of the saints, forgiveness of sins, resurrection of the flesh, and eternal life. Let us read the scriptures. Psalm 75. For the opera singer, I'll recite a psalm, a song for Asaph. We praise you, O God, we praise that your name is near. People tell of your wonders, If I will receive the appointed office, I will direct it in the right direction. The country and all its inhabitants were melted, but I have fixed its pillars, Selah. I have said to the foolish, be not foolish, and to the godless, do not raise your ears. Do not lift up your ears, do not speak with a stiff voice. For the lifting up does not come from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert. But God, the judge, he desecrates, but God is a judge, he desecrates these and lifts up those. For in the Lord's hand is a cup, and the wine is full of mingling. And he gives out of it, yet all the godless of the earth will be drowsy, drinking from it. And I will proclaim it in eternity. I will sing the psalm of God Jacob, And I will cut off all the horns of the ungodly. The horns of the just will be raised. Let us seek the Lord's face. Lord, do you seek us? For you yourself have said that you have been found, that eternal wonder. of those who did not seek You. And yet You say in Your Word, Seek Me, and live. But he who understands Your people in our midst, will wholeheartedly agree that there was a search because he found You. Holy is Your Word, also this evening, also in this place, Blessed be that which is listened to by those who fear you in Holland... in the Netherlands, but wherever else in the world. Remember Gretchen and Gert-Jan. When they went back to Malawi... they were given an instrument from you. A tool, despite... Because usually you work despite and not thanks to your people. Because you know how to strike a right blow with a crooked stick. Just make us a crooked stick. But gentlemen, strike a right blow again. Also from the service of your words this evening. The 75th psalm. That songbook that you gave to the church. The Psalms of David and Asaph. And all the contents themselves. The lamentations. The praise songs, as we have heard. The prophetic psalms to the Christ. The eschatological psalms speak of the future. The holiness of your holy rank. You can still give what we don't have. You can still do what we can't do. And you can still come to glorify yourself. Because, gentlemen, we are looking for it. and also to receive the mercy of that miserable flesh. That miserable flesh. That it does not submit to your law, and you say to yourself, and it cannot either. For flesh and blood can not inherit the kingdom of heaven. But gentlemen, remember us for yourselves, for it is your name, It is your kingdom, it is your son. It is your glory. It is your people, it is your bride. It is those who have been condemned to perish. And you know all the stiff necks. We have such stiff necks, gentlemen. That was learning to cook. as you teach us. Because you humiliate to exalt, you kill to make alive, you curse to bless. You have cursed your son, that he would be a blessing, that he would carry away the curse and the death, that he would lay eternal life on the day, The restored paradise. The new heaven. Where the church is fixed in a triune God. For time and eternity. Remember our children in this terrible time. Your people are always swimming against the current. And the church is getting tired of it. And your people are sometimes tired of you, but you give strength. When they get hope and grace, they expect you. Ah. Ah, Lord, help us for yourself. For your name, for our families. For this nation. For that old homeland where you first founded the church. And then the government. Just like the Jewish people. First, the high priest Moses and Aaron. And then... Then him. He came as a prophet. A priest and king to make people holy. That was lost. ...is. And no more. And yet, and no more. And if you say, I don't want to have anything to do with it... ...oh, that there are still those who say... ...justice. If you say, don't look at me anymore... ...then give us another look. An eye. Your eye. Your gaze. And you have not become accustomed to Petrus, but you have become accustomed to him. Do not tell me, Sibyl, and Petrus. You only do miracles. Your name, Lord. In onze arme zielen tot zaligheid, want u bent wonderlijk. Sterke God, vader der eeuwigheid, vredevorst, uitgenade. Ach, Heere, mocht nog eens wezen, dat u erin meekwam. For Jesus' sake. Amen. Psalm 75. As you understand it, a psalm of Christ at the deepest. I have to say it differently. It's a psalm of the first Adam, blessed by the second Adam. That's not quite right either. Because Adam was... Christ was not a type of Adam, the Bible says. But Adam was a type of Christ. Quite the opposite. Read it in the Bible. Yes, my dear. We're talking about an office. Officers, of THE officer. A preacher is a different kind of office. It's not a job... ...of which you retire. It can be. Keep time and untimely. Reconcile. Punish and punish in all leniency. Learn. If God has called you, end your calling in the grave. No. Then I will forever Here, auntie Heel, I am my own enemy for the most part, but soon I will be complete. I will receive him in justice, on my shoulders, blessed with the divine We want to negotiate with you in the first place. You have to make a distinction between the King James Version... and the state translation that says, if I were to receive the office. In the King James Version it says, if I were to receive the municipality. But you can't receive the community only in an official way. That's Christ. The Father gave him an office. No, three offices. The Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. Three persons. But the Father gives his Son the office of prophet. is the Word, and he speaks the Word of the priest. Through his eternal spirit he has sacrificed himself, says the scribe. In the end, he has not been sacrificed. He has been given the power to lay down life and to renew it again. All those people played a role, but not the role. He sacrificed himself. I can say it differently. His father sacrificed him. The Lamb of God. And lastly, he is king. On his grave is the king of the Jews. The Jews are called the Huday. And the Jews are the God-believers. He is a king... of God-believers. Do you hear that, chief? It's true. This is the son of... We want to stop for a moment at the hand. At the place where he is drawn as a judge. The god's name that is mentioned in this psalm is the Elohim, the Trinity God. You're not really called the covenant name. It is God who has created us and is our judge. Do you hear that? Our judge. The Elohim. Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In the first chapter of the Bible you find... that the Holy Spirit is allowed to brood on the waters. that the Father created the Son through the Creator. You know that, right? God created, but He created through the Word, the Son. And the Holy Spirit Brotherhood is written there. May you, may safety be on the waters. The abyss. May it be renewed. May it be fruitful. To the glory of grace. So the son, you must always remember, has three duties. In the Old Testament you find... All the Amsterdamers have two offices, but Christ has three. Remember that. One person, three offices. It's a road of knowledge. He starts teaching you, and then there's a cross. Then he becomes a high priest. He's going to give the blessing. And then he becomes the king of the Jews, isn't that right? The wise man already knew it. He is king. Nobody knew it. He was born in a slaughterhouse. Because God only does miracles. He is still born in slaughterhouses. God only does miracles. It's very beautiful, isn't it? Yes, you see, I'm getting too wide in the preface, but... In the miracles, the glory of God is seen. So the first miracle that Jesus does is the wedding of the Cana, water and wine. And that's at the end of history, and his glory was seen. His divine majesty. In the miracles, revealed, so the miracles of creation and resurrection, God reveals his glory. They believe in miracles. But God only does miracles. Everything is a miracle. I don't know why. You have to learn that. I know, but that's the way it is. Miracles. Honesty. Divine Majesty. I'll stop now. Let me sing first. Psalm 75, verse 2 and 4. Psalm 75, verse 2 and 4. You'll find it. Oh, say does that star-spangled ♪ Hail, all ye citizens of heaven above ♪ ♪ God in heaven above ♪ ♪ Heaven and nature shall be one ♪ O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Here you see it again. We've said it every time. You'll find the first verse in front of the opera singer. So it was sung in the temple, this psalm. In the honour service. Altashet is a man, a wise man. A psalm, a song... by Aesop. No, right? People don't say that, do they? What does it say? Read it. For Aesop. God gives full psalms. And Asaph is allowed to sing and write. Some say Asaph was a collector. I'll leave that. Others say he belonged to the choir, the temple. But look here, in front of Asaph. God gives him psalms for his servants. We don't take psalms, we don't write psalms. We were given psalms in the night. Did you know that? He was sung in the night. Even in the night. It's important, isn't it? Stefan Geli van Johan is a new person. The Gospel to the description of John, God's Gospel. Hold on. And then he begins, We praise you, O God. Why? And then he uses the name Creator. And our Creator is our judge. Because God has our right. And in his image, to his likeness, they create. God is just. Then he goes to praise God. Praising belongs to love. When you get God's love in your heart, tell me, what happens then? He praises God. It may be. If love becomes a tool, you desire to live. It's the work of heaven. Here's a beginning. Fill it up later. Because your name is in it, you have it again. In the Bible, a name is not always mentioned, but a name is mentioned. God reveals himself through names. We give names. But God says, Hellenbroek, it's true, reveals himself through names. Because the names of God are essential. More forms of revelation, I like names tonight. I am who I am, the unchangeable, the sovereign. Jehovah. That's not correct either. It's Ketiv Kareem, but it doesn't matter. God reveals his name. If the Jews, the Babylonians, didn't dare to read the name of God... because they feared his holiness. That's why there's often also Adonai. Gentlemen. Adonai. And if the real name of God is mentioned, it's in the state translation with capital letters. Otherwise it is written in small letters. Adonai. My Creator, the Most High. Why? Because your miracles are being told. Those people have heard the miracles of God. God-honoring miracles. In creation and resurrection. But God only does miracles. Right? And if he doesn't do a miracle, you go to hell. Sovereign grace. Make a question. I've heard people who can always talk about other people's miracles. It's beautiful, isn't it? Because we're losing something. We're losing something. It's a miracle, such a miracle. It's a miracle when such a little plant comes out of the ground. On that cursed earth. Because it wants to sin. Did you eat a sandwich today? No? Do you know why? The miracle has never happened. Do you know what the church says? I ate bread with tears. Did you eat a sandwich today? Well, that's in creation, but especially in the resurrection. His name is Wonderful. Oh, Hugo, we've been talking about this for a week now. That we have a living God, boy. Who is glorifying himself. Through miracles of nature and miracles of grace. Can you feel it? And it is told... A child of God in Leerbroek, Mrs de Jong. The Lord said to this child, I'm going to die soon. She said, I'm going to get a new tongue. I've never been able to make it as big as it should be, but I'll make it big. She was home in two weeks. This is where it all started. Wondering in nature. But the book of nature will only open when the book of grace opens up in your life. I don't know if you understand me, but last week I thought, I haven't been that weird. Sometimes you think, it's all right. But who still believes that? Right? Huntington. He said, when God showed mercy, I came back to a new heaven. In a new heaven and a new earth. Bloemen bloeide, de scheppings omklof, van nu tot in eeuwigheid. Ik dacht wel, ja jongen, ja. Heden zult ge met mij in het paradijs zijn. Niet morgen, niet over drie dagen. Heden! And then he speaks. He has heard it. The Lord has blessed it. He hears it. And then he speaks. I think we should think of David here, but not only that. We should also think of the Son of God. He says, if I receive it, I will receive it. Determined Amsterdam. You don't become an Amsterdamer, you are determined to be an Amsterdamer. Determined. You can't study for that. I'm not against studying. But I am against godliness. Paul got an office when his soul was saved. You have to pay attention, when God turns a person here, that office is often connected to his return. David. The appointed office. A man to the heart of God. David. Christ, the appointed office. What is an office? An office is not a job. It's not a job. I said it at the beginning. An office... is to be an officer of the king of kings, of the judge, of the high priest. That's how it is. A preacher doesn't have a job. with God's permission, to the official service, a sacrament is performed. You receive a burden. A burden is placed on you. Paul is an apostle of the saints. That's an office. God is in charge of office bearers. Did Adam in Paradise also have an office? Yes. He was created in the image of God. And with that... he ruled over creation. Dr. Aldersman... I won't go into too much detail. says that preserving and building the earth... Listen to what I'm saying. Aldus is right. That's culture. He says it's a priestly work. Culture. It's a king-priest. A prophet. He gave the animal names to them... If God intends it. Then he gives him a wife and he has another job. I always believe that if you marry into a church... if all goes well... the man becomes an Amstrader. A prophet to teach his children, a woman who listens in silence. You say, you're an old-fashioned man. I prefer writing than all those modern things. Don't you agree? An official. A priest. He lies on his knees before his children. With his wife. His full name was Scherpenzeel, but he was actually from Leerbroek. The old Scherpenzeel... You'll say, why are you asking? I do, because the miracles have to be told. Scherpenzeel had a girl in his church. He had to go to his church in Leerbroek. His mother said, Don't go with that girl, you're not going anywhere. It's fairgrounds, I'm going to the fairgrounds with her. But his mother was always in bed. She was sick. But she was a child. She said, Jan, let me tell you, Jan. If you go to church with me, I'll crawl out of bed. I'll stay on my knees for as long as you do. He said, Mother, don't be so sentimental. He said, I'm walking, and then you have to go from Leerbroek to Meerkerk, and then you come to a bridge. He said, and then the girl was pulled, and the sky was pulled, too. He said, I stood still for half an hour. Because God was pulling. When I lost it, I cried to my mother. I said, Mother, I'm never going back. God does miracles. That man taught you more. Do you know what he taught me? That there is a God who lives and is stronger than a sin. She came home crying. What more could I say? So also in your family, as a father, Adam gets a wife. And she's naked, at the same height. But he's the head. It's an order. No emancipation. No pulling your headscarf off in church. No. No. No revolution. No. No, no, no, no, no. No. Governance. Pre-bidding. A prophet. But you have to think about it. That's the head, the kaput. It's not a dictator. Just as the head takes care of the body... so does the man take care of his wife as his own body. Right? And if you really love each other... you want the other to be happy, right? No, we don't know each other. You don't know anything about it. So it's not forcing. It's the work of love. It's your own body, your children. My children sometimes say, I'm 52 now, but I'm still your father. I once promised a weak child. Punishment and punishment in all length, courage and wisdom. It's time they stopped tolerating these things. We're in the middle of a revolution. God said, stiffen your necks, raise your horns, fight with honor. He said, but I'll be a judge. I have an office as a judge. Let's go for it. Because grace is always grace by right. Nowadays people receive grace. I don't believe what you're saying. On the grounds of justice. Do you understand? Zion will be redeemed by justice. And you know, turning by justice. That's something else. After the fall, God remains faithful. That's what it says. For his people. Not for everyone. So he says, I'm a judge and I'm going to hold that right in your hands. Because land and people are melted. There's nothing left. There's no power left. It's flowing everywhere. Empty. Empty. That's what it says. But if I receive the office, I will... Straightforward. Well, what is it? You have to judge everyone first. Let it be. My father said, Jochi, if you've never been to church, you've never been to church, he said. That's not true, is it? Self-sufficiency. My father said, Jochie, I hope the church is out of the picture. He said, You're lost. Just go to work. Right. That's why the Heidelberg Catechism starts with the summary of the law. No, with the law. And even in the passage of Gratitude you will find the law. It is explained in each article, in each commandment. Four in the first table, six in the second table. Relation to God and our neighbor. But if you preach, you must speak the law of God. What is the law of God? To judge everything that is ours. What we are, what we do, our thoughts, our dreams. And the municipality... Holland, listen to me. They're smuggling the church in. You've got this, you've got that... In the past, there was a bow... Let me tell you all about it tonight. Jan and Lena were friends of ours, straight cut off, straight in the hand. But Jan had already experienced a lot, he said, so he went upstairs. He said, Dominic, I've experienced this, I've experienced that, but how? Upstairs he said, it's not Christian, Jan says, it's not worth anything. Yes, but it's a way, right? Yes. That you're the mayor of the ward. He didn't say that there was no such thing as a call. But to the knowledge of Christ. So see... If you really speak the truth about God, what's left to say? Nothing on the praying chair, nothing under the praying chair. If that's true... Then you say, but you don't have to... That finding, that finding, that finding... If you haven't found it, you can't talk about it. That's not true either. Because the Bible says, when the commandment, the entouler, when God spoke to you with the law, that's the entouler, then he will speak to you with the law himself. You are that man. You crawl out of the church. Have you decided? I'm never going to eat again. But when the commandment came in, what was the first fruit? Living sins, they crawl up to your throat. Then you don't want to condemn another person. Because what another person experiences... Oh, Lord, help me, forgive me. Then he puts the heavenly sin in the light of his face. And we were so happy. I tried to throw myself at God. I said, Lord, I will pray all night and then I will have mercy. No way. No way. Until he came to his senses. And I had mercy. God didn't do me any more harm. I once said, this is the best place. and no longer have to fight with my God, no longer have to be proud. No. The most beautiful place is when the Mediator finds you, kisses you, with the kiss of his hand, the holy, promised God. I will no longer be on your tower, I threw my sins behind my back, an eternal sea of remorse. Nowadays, you don't have to pray anymore. Yes, but you don't experience that. Exactly. Everyone doesn't go to heaven. Because God is righteous. Soon they will receive the crown from the hand of the judge. That's eternal life, that crown. The hand of justice. Why? He's going to hold that right hand. How? By being who you're not, by doing what you can't do... and by paying what you can't pay. That's it. I don't live anymore. An experience, predicate. I'm not saying that's not the case. An experience. I died. Yet, I... Look, he said it again. A commandment. Without life, I die. Yet, I live. But not anymore. I. Still not, is it? And now it is. Still not, is it? A lie, and yet you speak the truth. Sometimes from within, but you reduce it, because that love is stronger than your hostility. God has a right. That's why he sent his Son. You can't hear the songs without the right. And that's hidden from me, I know. But it should be made public, your love. And I have to tell you, in the Netherlands we do have a few friends. For whom these things, right? That doctor's wife, you know. And that mother. You know, a few here. They want to steal from you. No. No. No. Didn't I tell you that God's righteousness would be crushed? And I'm going to restore that righteousness. I'm going to be what you're not. A new breath. And whoever is in Christ is a new creation. If he hadn't sinned, he would have done it. Not true, but true. But that misery of Peter, exactly. Do you know where you lose that? In the grave of the Mediator. In that one new grave. All these are old graves, but one new grave. With Him, He died. With Him, He rose again. Well, God keeps His rights. Or I can say it very differently, Mother. If you become pious, you become pious because it is paid for. Do you know how much the man who was half-dead along the way was paid? He said, I'll be back. He said, I'll pay you everything until you're home. Because the blood of Emmanuel and the obedience of the mediator... makes God wonderful. What do you say, Jo? You're good for bad people, boy. No, that's not true, man. But if you're allowed to, God won't hurt you anymore. No, that's not true, boy. He can teach you tomorrow. Anyway, look, there it is. And that's an official work of Christ. He serves here... You have to remember, nowadays they all say, yes, Christ, yes, that's true. But he's a mediator. It's about the Father. He's the bearer of fear of the Father. The bearer of fear of your Creator and Master. He has an office. It starts with Joannes' doping. Listen to him. He goes under, in the order, comes up, out of the order. Do you understand? Well, my dear. I'm starting to resist. With hate and hatred. You always have to leave a little bit of the people alive. A little bit. It sparkles here. But not all of it, no. A little bit. A lot of it. In the church. Because there are people who talk to you with a stiff voice. And they are high, they resist the heavens. They resist all the work of God in Christ. And if you say that people should die... I have a beginning. There can be no hope in your life. I'm not saying that. I'm not saying that. Can I say something else? But your hope has to go. When all hope was gone. It's scary, isn't it? And nobody will be there for me. 75th verse, 75th verse. Yeah. Amen. He said, in the prophetic service, the one who raises his head and raises his ears... he said, don't be foolish. I don't like to say that to people. Raise your ears, not... The ears are... The ears, right? The one ear. Don't talk to me like that. I am what you are nothing. You've never been nothing. You've never been anything. You can be everything. So, if the law is violated, it will also cause a division. There will be an enemy resistance. If the law is violated in its entirety... you will have enemies. If you want the justice of the godless on the road to justice, in and around Christ... Look at your enemies. In the end, at the end of his life, Paulus had no one left. Timotheus. Demas left him because he thought he couldn't keep up. The elevation is the pride of paradise. That's the hubris. We want... We want to be like God. Honour. Speak loudly. As long as you're there, they can hit you with all kinds of things. But if God doesn't do anything, they can't hit you anymore. You've been hit by God. I wrote a beautiful text, which you can find in Hannah's praise of Mary. Hannah first, then Samuel, then Mary. It goes from hell to hell, and then back to heaven. Many people say, Mary was a humble woman. That's not true. She was a humble woman. Do you see the difference? They are humble people. Well, humiliated people. Tapenosis. That's the word for it. If God is going to elevate you, dear boy, he's going to humiliate you first. He was sitting in the church and he said, I have a friend in Amsterdam. His father said to him, or rather his uncle, Leen. I'll leave the name behind. He said, boy, if you want to go back, you'll have to ask for a discovery light. Crazy. Who does that? He said, I don't think so. It took half a year before God struck me on the ground. I said, yes, boy. But he didn't let me sit there empty-handed. He also pressed me on his chest, like this. He said, to hell and back. and rises from the grave. He humiliates in order to exalt. And the wonderful thing is, and I would like to say something about that, the law punishes you, but the sin against the gospel, that they have hit the crown on his head, And the one who went outside cried bitterly. They will see what they have gone through. They will be grieved for a week, for the one and only son. The sins against the law bowed. The grandfathers in Zwolle, after the war, had a mast with a Dutch flag bow. And there was a sentence underneath it. I thought, that's exactly what it was. Well-bent, but not broken. The Netherlands, well-bent, but not broken. Canada, well-bent, but not broken. February. She said, that's wonderful, because that blind man... Let me give you an example. That blind man said, let me see him. What is he doing? He's stabbing his eyes with mud. Well... Who are you going to stab with mud? Only if you... He said, Go to Siloam now. He's a type of the Dwarf of the Holy Spirit. Where are you? And I came to see him. Peter was a righteous man and he was a means. His father said, You'll be gone soon. There he goes. Then a gentleman said, You can't serve me like this with your stiff neck. Satan desires you as much as the wheat does. You have far too much kaff around you. It's a fool who says it's a sieve. I say it's not a sieve. The one who sifted with a sieve. He went with a bowl to a high mountain. Gideon did that, didn't he? And in the wind you throw the wheat on it. And by throwing the wheat up and down, the calf is taken away by the wind. It's a test. He says, I will pray for you that your calf doesn't stay on the sea. Satan says, let it fall. And the Lord Jesus says, I will pray for you that your faith doesn't stop. So those who are not humiliated are not saved. And I've said it before, it's the tapenosis. It's the divine way of becoming holy. It's humiliation for salvation. Don't start clapping with your hands. These days people clap with their hands. I'm not saying it can't happen. But you start crying. So they came back from Ballingschout, humiliated. If there is an awakening, if God ever returns to the Netherlands, you will hear the church complain. When the Bible was read in the days of Ezra, the people wept. They sinned, they sinned. They were judged. And then that sweet evangelist. I've always struggled with those righteous chairs from 1922. Those righteous chairs of God. One says, there's Sané in them. But do you know what the righteous chair of God is for his people? It's the altar. The righteous are honored there. My goodness. The dear lamb of God. The Lord said to Adam, you cannot pay. And what did the Lord do? He sacrificed the first lamb. He did that again, didn't he? And he clothed them with the ghitoun, with the fur, with the skin, with the covering of Christ, the white cloth, the tunic. The priests were dressed in it. Otherwise they couldn't serve in the temple. Only in Christ, in their clothes. And soon, 144,000 will be dressed in long, white clothes. Washed. You will say, that's not possible. If you wash with blood, you'll turn red. No. Whoever is washed with blood turns whiter than the snow and more beautiful than the day. I don't know if you know. Mrs. Huls. I have a story about her. Mrs. Huls is standing there. She's crying. I said, mother, what are you doing? She said, I'm looking at the snow. Ladies and gentlemen, I know it's snowing and it's cold and we're crying together because of the wonder. But you have to realize that such a sermon doesn't have many followers today. Expelled. You shouldn't listen to Jeremiah, that man. Instead of saying, peace, peace. No, he said, there is no peace. He said, no. Then something else has to happen. And God is righteous. Those righteous seats are the altars. The lamb is slaughtered. Lamb of God. Cut. where he cut the law into pieces. To make godless people holy. And I believe that these things keep together here, humiliation and exaltation. He humiliates these and exalts those. According to the scripture, you find that in Maria, you find that in Zacharias, But there will also be those who won't find mercy on this road. There will also be those. Those chitter-chatter-like words... speak to us of beautiful things. Because they will drink the cup of judgment that people, all kinds of judgment, will drink. And the godless will even drink the dross from the pressed wine into the wine, until eternal loss. Because the wine, the blood wine, the red wine, is the cup of judgment. Christ drank it, didn't he? But there will also be those who do talk about discovery, work of knowledge, but not work of grace. Those who don't care about anything else. Welcome. But he said, I'm going to preach for eternity. What? In the psalm of God. I had never heard him speak in heaven. He was just... Can you name a place in the Bible? Do you know who suffers from heaven? I will forever sing of God's redemption. We worked in the booms and in the states with the Scottish churches, the Free Presbyterian Church in Scotland. And, yes, you always wait for renewal. And when those Dominicans started preaching and they were in it, they started singing. They would sometimes sing on the priest's chair. Because of the miracles of grace. And I believe it. Then you will sing these psalms, Altasheth, the great singer. Then you will learn a verse that you cannot learn unless you have learned it from God, says the Revelation. You must have learned it from God. And he will cut off the godless horns, but the horns of the righteous. There is actually only one mistake in the Tzaddiq. He will raise his son, with the name above all names, because in the name of the Lord Jesus, all knees will bow, my son. All his spoiled children. All the humiliated who have been exalted by Him, who are not worthy of the last place on the table, but do you know who they meet at the last place on the table? The Lord Jesus, the least of all people. He said, come, let's go up. He said, let's go up. Friends, my fellow travelers to eternity, how are you? I still get a message from Stappos. No, Friezeveen. The joker's father fell off his bike in eternity. He didn't know what to do. You know what? Maybe I should tell you something about him. Outside of the Lord Jesus, is not life. Openly and appropriately. But an eternal sylphiderm. Openly and appropriately. Make room for it. Because we don't need healthy physicians, but those who are sick. And we are here in a hospital. And the Lord Jesus heals some people to salvation. And through his streams, the church has been healed. People, have you ever woken up at night to praise God? But you know, in the beginning, when love reigns, you think, where can it go wrong? You find yourself like this. There can never be but grace here. But grace must remain grace. And that is not from you, it is God's grace. And that he does not want it for Jesus, he makes it, and he works it in your heart. to eternal salvation, for the time-temporal disconnection and my coming, disconnected from that flesh, and the bonds of death, have been freed. Here in the faith, shortly through Assouwe, with the whole Church, to salvation. Dear friends in the Netherlands, Whatever you want, we hope that with the help of these gentlemen, we can continue with this. And they can judge what they want. I won't give you anything. Because this is more than all the gold in the world. His name must be received forever. And I have nothing to do with Mrs. Melui. Amen. Oh gentlemen, you give. You take what I don't want to lose. And you give what I don't want to have. But you also give me a heart to receive it. A new heart. And now that we have received it, oh, that flesh. Take it away from me. Lord, how do you keep me full? I don't understand. You might as well have slapped me on the mouth. But oh, a fire is going to burn from within. I will not swear again of the miracles. In creation and resurrection. In grace and honesty. And that only for yourself. Forgive us. Remember your people, here and there, for Jesus' sake.
