  1. 0:00Darkness is not an affirmative force.
  2. 0:03It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light.
  3. 0:06This is the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio.
  4. 0:11It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite.
  5. 0:15Delivery people out of the bondage of mainstream media.
  6. 0:18And the philosophies of this world.
  7. 0:20God has called you and me to be his ambassador.
  8. 0:24Even in this dark moment.
  9. 0:26Let's not miss our moment.
  10. 0:28And Now... The Helmleton Corner!
  11. 0:31Good evening, everyone, welcome to the Hamilton Cornerist Avraham Hamilton, the third here joined
  12. 0:38by the corner contingent right across from you, my Man 100 Grand Mr. Bobby Little,
  13. 0:43flour flour flour flour flour in the Screening Room produce them often imitated.
  14. 0:48...never duplicated, it's too real.
  15. 0:50face, Ladies and gentlemen, we are ready to rock and roll with today's edition of the program.
  16. 0:55at this very moment, many of you, if not most of you, are making your transition from your
  17. 0:59part-time jobs where you generate an income to your full-time jobs where you cultivate an
  18. 1:04outcome.
  19. 1:05And as you do so, I want to remind you to do so with intentionality, understanding the
  20. 1:10primacy that God places on family in welcoming his view to guide, to govern, and to guard
  21. 1:18your view, taking full advantage of the opportunity and opportunities that God places before you
  22. 1:26and before myself to be about his business.
  23. 1:30We don't want to allow ourselves to be lulled or manipulated away from what should be primary,
  24. 1:39but as we are engaging in what is and should be primary, we trust the Lord with the results.
  25. 1:45And we're going to get into it.
  26. 1:48We aired the show concerning Alexander Fraser Titler's cycle of nations yesterday intentionally,
  27. 1:57which as a result of historical observations, surely Alexander Fraser Titler's observations
  28. 2:06were correct, but there's one thing we cannot afford to exclude from our calculus and considerations.
  29. 2:12And that is divine providence, the sovereign will of God.
  30. 2:19And we have to be mindful of the fact that if God did not want us here at this time, we
  31. 2:23would not be here.
  32. 2:25So how then shall we live?
  33. 2:27You know, kind of on a Francis Shafer communication, how then are we to live?
  34. 2:33We must take full advantage of the time that we have before us and utilize that time to
  35. 2:39glorify our Lord.
  36. 2:41So as you're making your transition, my encouragement to you and prayer for you has been and will
  37. 2:47continue to be that you settle the matter in your heart, that with every breath that the
  38. 2:52Lord gives you, that you will seek to utilize that breath and the time that He gives you,
  39. 2:59to put the light on the lampstand and to be about our Father's business. And we have to
  40. 3:04refuse to allow our homes to continually be, to continually be encroached upon and trotted
  41. 3:12upon. I mentioned this with regard to the meta settlement from the trial and the West
  42. 3:19Coast. There are no amount of parental safety features that will be put in on social media
  43. 3:26that will substitute for a parent being vigilant and diligent with our own children. There's
  44. 3:32no amount of parental safety features that's going to keep a child from being six years
  45. 3:38old and scrolling six to eight hours a day on social media without a parent. You know what
  46. 3:43know what I'm saying? So we must, man, we must, we must take full advantage of that time. And
  47. 3:50that is not the exclusive context of course not. But the reality is everybody in our country
  48. 4:00has come from a family. You know, yeah, I see that, Pookie, I saw that, you know,
  49. 4:09and I'm gonna get into it. You know, we, we, we, we, we, we seem to be there really two ways that
  50. 4:15that Islam is progressed over history.
  51. 4:16It's by conquest or surrender.
  52. 4:19I'm gonna show you.
  53. 4:20I'm not gonna just tell you.
  54. 4:21I'm just gonna show you.
  55. 4:23On the one hand, the second largest city in England,
  56. 4:25Birmingham, England, the city council
  57. 4:29filed for an injunction to keep Britain's
  58. 4:33from putting up St. George's flag with the Red Cross
  59. 4:36in the middle or the UK flag,
  60. 4:38in order to try to keep down public,
  61. 4:42public uproar's.
  62. 4:44And then at the exact same time in Birmingham,
  63. 4:46they raised the Pakistani flag above City Hall in Birmingham.
  64. 4:51Same city, same city.
  65. 4:53You know what we have, fight the patriarchy.
  66. 4:57You know, New York Governor Kathy Hochl declared herself
  67. 4:59the feminist governor.
  68. 5:01She fights the patriarchy unless she's got to speak
  69. 5:04to Muslims in New York, in which case she will put
  70. 5:07on the hijab.
  71. 5:08People saying that all the Republicans
  72. 5:11trying to reinstate the handmaid's tail.
  73. 5:15You know, it's like, hmm.
  74. 5:17I'll see, I'll see anybody in the republicans
  75. 5:20who have got people on hijab.
  76. 5:22Things are carrying on.
  77. 5:23And then now you got, you know, California's governor,
  78. 5:28you know, leading the charge to recognize Islamic holidays.
  79. 5:35Can I make this stuff up to the word of God we go.
  80. 5:38I want to go to Ezra chapter nine.
  81. 5:40I'm going to focus on verses three and four
  82. 5:43in Ezra chapter 9, and we'll explain a bit of the context.
  83. 5:47But before that, I'm gonna explain a bit of where this came from.
  84. 5:50And as we gathered the works with the Lord this past Sunday, and my brother Will Addison delivered
  85. 5:55the sermon, and he was talking about sin's impact on the nation and how the scripture records
  86. 6:01and numerous instances the Lord describing sin as having defiled a nation.
  87. 6:08And he was talking about that.
  88. 6:09And then he was talking about how a people in a nation can turn the tide.
  89. 6:14And one of the portions of scripture he pointed out was in Ezra chapter 9, to where Ezra
  90. 6:19provides a profound prayer of intercession.
  91. 6:26And the significance of it is born out when you consider that Ezra's book is written about
  92. 6:29458 BC.
  93. 6:31So Ezra returns to Judah 13 years prior to Nehemiah, and Ezra was primarily engaged in
  94. 6:39the reconstruction of the temple and teaching the exiled Jews who have returned to Judah
  95. 6:47the ways of Yahweh.
  96. 6:50And he institutes teaching priests and things of that nature.
  97. 6:52And then he comes to the point to where in spite of the fact that they are, exiles returning
  98. 6:56Judah, who had been over 70 years exiled from Judah, succumbed to domination by the Babylonians,
  99. 7:07the Medes, the Medo-Persians, the Persians, then finally returned back to Judah. But upon
  100. 7:16return, Ezra discovered that the nation of Israel, the Israelites, the Jews, including
  101. 7:25the priests and the Levites continued in the same types of sins that led to their exile
  102. 7:30in the first place.
  103. 7:33And Ezra was overwhelmed and grieved by this sin.
  104. 7:39I'm going to point out in verse 3 is where we're going to pick up here because this is
  105. 7:44when Ezra learns about the priests and Levites participating in the symphonies along with
  106. 7:48the other exiles.
  107. 7:50And verse 3 says, and this is Ezra writing, when I heard about this matter, I as retore
  108. 7:56my garment and my robe and pulled some of the hair from my head and my beard and sat down appalled.
  109. 8:07Then everyone who trembled at the words of the God of Israel on account of the unfaithfulness of
  110. 8:16the exiles gathered to me and I sat appalled until the evening offering. Now one of the things that
  111. 8:26He struck me from this in a,
  112. 8:29Will mentioned this Sunday too.
  113. 8:31He said, man, God convicted him
  114. 8:33as to whether or not he was appalled
  115. 8:36at the sinfulness of our nation or aggrieved,
  116. 8:41deeply grieved about it.
  117. 8:44And similarly, you know, Lord challenged me
  118. 8:46in the same fashion because what you see,
  119. 8:50Ezra's prayer, and I encourage you to go
  120. 8:51and read the rest of the chapter nine,
  121. 8:54Though Ezra was not involved at all in the sins that are listed, he nevertheless cried
  122. 9:02out to the Lord and interceded for the Jewish people.
  123. 9:06And he identified with him in his intercession.
  124. 9:11And when you think about the overwhelming sinfulness in our country, man, it's easy to become desensitized
  125. 9:23to it.
  126. 9:24I'll never forget, and this happened to me.
  127. 9:26I'll never forget as I was trying cases in criminal court, in the felony courts in Texas
  128. 9:38and Houston, and I'm looking at the gross underbelly of Manson's on this every day.
  129. 9:43I handle major felony offenses, so I'm looking at armed robberies.
  130. 9:47I'm looking at sexual assaults of children.
  131. 9:50I'm looking at homicide after homicide after homicide, rapes, all of these things day and
  132. 9:55day and day and I'm looking at, you know, people who others would describe as pillars in the
  133. 10:00community and I'm seeing the evidence that they're committing heinous crimes and I could feel
  134. 10:05myself becoming jaded towards humanity and I had to go take a walk, man.
  135. 10:08I'm just walking and praying in downtown Houston because I can sense myself becoming jaded to
  136. 10:13it.
  137. 10:14And man, the Lord impresses upon me, say, Abe, you feel this way, you're seeing only a glimpse
  138. 10:19of the symphonies of mankind.
  139. 10:21looking at the crimes that are committed in Harris County, Texas, and you are assigned to one of the courts.
  140. 10:30Can you imagine being aware of the sinfulness far beyond that one county? And oh man, it gave me a sense
  141. 10:42of, you know, the scripture, one of the ways that God is described in the scripture is El Roy, the
  142. 10:47God who sees, right? That the Lord sees all of this, all of this. And he nevertheless remains
  143. 10:57gracious towards his people. I am presenting this to you today during this program to invite
  144. 11:05you to consider whether or not you've been desensitized. Babies have been slaughtered
  145. 11:12in our country since 1973. You think that has an impact upon people who might, I don't know,
  146. 11:21dress up in pink outside of a courtroom in Massachusetts, the grotesque hypersexualization
  147. 11:31in our society, you think that is estranged from the pandemic of pornography consumption in our country?
  148. 11:41As we live in a poor pornography society. But what I'm driving towards is whether or not you and I
  149. 11:49as God's people, are we appalled at the sinfulness of our own nation? Are we
  150. 11:57are we grieved or are we just enraged at what they're doing over there? Are we just these people
  151. 12:03destroying our country or have we become desensitized to the root of these things.
  152. 12:10And my simple encouragement is to resist that inclination to be desensitized. Resist
  153. 12:19that inclination that would leave you not appalled because when that desensitization sets in
  154. 12:30And it causes us to scramble for solutions everywhere except the place and more specifically in the
  155. 12:38one who rules and reigns in the affairs of men.
  156. 12:42That's what we find ourselves nipping and tucking around the periphery, trying to address weeds
  157. 12:50by clipping them at the top instead of uprooting them.
  158. 12:54We cannot afford as God's people to not be appalled at what happens in our country.
  159. 13:01And frankly, that's one of Satan's objectives is to overwhelm the people of God with the robust
  160. 13:12sinfulness to where we no longer have the type of Holy Spirit induced alarm concerning
  161. 13:22it and God breathed compassion that would cause us to engage with the only true answer.
  162. 13:31There are other things that must be done.
  163. 13:33You know, I was talking to my children about this, that it is because of man's sinfulness
  164. 13:36that we must have governed.
  165. 13:37We have to realize God is the one who instituted government.
  166. 13:40But we also can't forget what government's objection,
  167. 13:43not objection, obligation is.
  168. 13:45And that is to punish and restrain evil
  169. 13:48and to reward what is righteous.
  170. 13:50Well, what happens when a society becomes collectively
  171. 13:53unable to discern what is righteous and what is evil?
  172. 13:58Then you end up with potent forces operating
  173. 14:02as Isaiah 5, 20 prophesied.
  174. 14:04good being called evil and evil being called good.
  175. 14:11This portion of scripture really, really, really struck me.
  176. 14:17And I pray that the Lord will do what He does best,
  177. 14:20which is to minister His word to His people.
  178. 14:24But it struck me that Ezra himself was appalled
  179. 14:30at the grotesque sinfulness of his fellow countrymen.
  180. 14:33And he brought that before the Lord.
  181. 14:37We must never get to the place where we fail to recognize
  182. 14:45that the foundational issue that we have before us
  183. 14:47is the sinfulness that is prevalent in our nation.
  184. 14:51And repentance, the proclamation of the gospel
  185. 14:55and disciples being made, that is the answer.
  186. 15:01A discipleship minute with Joseph Parker.
  187. 15:05How tragic it is for believers
  188. 15:07that don't get around to reading Bible.
  189. 15:09In other words, they don't get around to spending time
  190. 15:12with Jesus listening to his counsel, his wisdom, his grace,
  191. 15:16allowing him to touch their lives with his word.
  192. 15:19Hebrews, chapter four, verse 12,
  193. 15:21for the word of God is living an active,
  194. 15:22sharper than any two-edged sword,
  195. 15:25piercing to the division of soul and of spirit,
  196. 15:28of joints and of marrow,
  197. 15:30and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
  198. 15:33Then Ephesians 6, verses 17 to 18,
  199. 15:36and take the helmet of salvation,
  200. 15:38and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,
  201. 15:42praying always with all praying and supplication
  202. 15:45in the Spirit, and watching there on two
  203. 15:47with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.
  204. 15:51A kingdom warrior is a disciple of Christ
  205. 15:53who skillfully puts the word of God,
  206. 15:55which is the sword of the Spirit to work every day.
  207. 16:01Do you ever feel like you're not enough?
  208. 16:04Like everyone has it together, except you?
  209. 16:08Here's the thing.
  210. 16:09insecurity lies.
  211. 16:12It whispers, you're unloved, you're alone.
  212. 16:16And the whisper feels awfully loud, doesn't it?
  213. 16:20Philippians 4.8 says,
  214. 16:21What's Whoever Things Are True?
  215. 16:23Think on these things.
  216. 16:26You're thinking shapes your emotions
  217. 16:29and your emotions shape your actions.
  218. 16:32So when insecurity says, you're alone,
  219. 16:35truth says, I am with you always.
  220. 16:39Don't let the lies just sit there, replace them.
  221. 16:43You may not feel brave today,
  222. 16:45but the resurrection proves
  223. 16:47Jesus defeated the biggest fear of all, death.
  224. 16:50If he conquered that, he can handle whatever
  225. 16:53is making you anxious right now.
  226. 16:55Next time insecurity shows up with a megaphone,
  227. 16:58remind it of the empty tomb.
  228. 17:06Shiting light into the darkness,
  229. 17:08this is the Hamilton Corner, an American family radio.
  230. 17:12Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton III here.
  231. 17:17Well, in this case where this woman strangled her three children to death in succession,
  232. 17:26you consider it takes about six minutes according to the testimony in the trial to strangle
  233. 17:35each of the children, to relocate them as she did.
  234. 17:41The issue is not whether or not she murdered her children.
  235. 17:43That's not even in question.
  236. 17:47The issue the jury is endeavoring to decide is whether or not she should be held criminally
  237. 17:52accountable and responsible for doing what she admittedly did.
  238. 18:00Well, the jury in this case is comprised of nine women and three men.
  239. 18:05It's interesting to know that yesterday, two of the women came to court wearing pink.
  240. 18:12I don't want to read into it any further than that, but were they aware that that was the
  241. 18:18color that the protesters were wearing outside?
  242. 18:20I'm not sure.
  243. 18:21I don't know.
  244. 18:22I can't speak for them.
  245. 18:26deliberations in this case began last Thursday after what four, five weeks of testimony.
  246. 18:35And today, today at about 10 a.m. Eastern time, the jurors send a note to the judge, the presiding
  247. 18:50judge saying that they cannot reach a unanimous verdict in this case.
  248. 18:55The judge instructed them to continue deliberating.
  249. 18:57And at about 3.30 p.m. the jury sends out another 3.30 p.m. Eastern time the jury sends out another
  250. 19:02note, requesting can they leave because they are unable to come to a unanimous decision.
  251. 19:12So the judge obliged and deliberations are expected to continue tomorrow morning at 9am
  252. 19:18Eastern time. I will tell you this is not empirical scientific data, but in every criminal case that
  253. 19:32I've tried and in all of the criminal trials that I have witnessed, protracted deliberations
  254. 19:41very rarely benefit the prosecution, very rarely.
  255. 19:45I won't say never because I cannot say never.
  256. 19:52And you can never say for a fact you know exactly what the jury is doing prior to them
  257. 19:56reaching their verdict.
  258. 19:59But I have to tell you, I am concerned that it has taken this long, as I've said from
  259. 20:04the very beginning of this case, that the sad reality is that the considerations of any
  260. 20:11mitigating circumstances are circumstances that would be would and should be assessed in
  261. 20:16terms of what penalty is appropriate, but that shouldn't change whether or not she should
  262. 20:22be held criminally responsible for her intentional acts.
  263. 20:29And this is gravely concerning to me.
  264. 20:33really, really, really is. And it's related to what I was talking about in the first segment.
  265. 20:38Because when you have my body, my choice, your way for the last 40 some odd years,
  266. 20:4440 plus years since 1973, you're talking about 60 plus years. And as, not even before, even before
  267. 20:57Planned Parenthood versus Casey and Roe versus Wade were overturned, our nation had already turned
  268. 21:05the corner to where most of the children who were murdered in their moms, wounds were murdered via
  269. 21:11chemical abortions through the abortion drugs. And you have, I gotta tell you, man, this is
  270. 21:26heartbreaking to see the scores of women on the social media platforms and they're cracking jokes
  271. 21:32about killing their own children. They're making videos, trying to get likes and follows and subscriptions
  272. 21:39that guys, this is heinous, man.
  273. 21:41This is heinous.
  274. 21:43This is heinous.
  275. 21:46And obviously not trying to case,
  276. 21:51I'm not in a courtroom in Massachusetts.
  277. 21:55But in my experience,
  278. 22:00these types of delays are not necessarily beneficial
  279. 22:03to a prosecutorial favorable,
  280. 22:10prosecutorially favorable verdict.
  281. 22:14You don't know, I don't know what the makeup is.
  282. 22:15I don't know if it's 11 jurors versus one.
  283. 22:18I don't know if it's a six, six split.
  284. 22:20I don't know if it's seven, five.
  285. 22:22I don't know any of that information.
  286. 22:24But I wanted to tell you that in my experience,
  287. 22:31this type of delay, this type, when I mean delay,
  288. 22:35that's not the right word.
  289. 22:36That's not like they're not trying to resolve,
  290. 22:37not trying to come to a verdict.
  291. 22:39I'm saying the inability to arrive at unanimous verdict
  292. 22:42this long from last Thursday, today is Tuesday,
  293. 22:45having a full day of deliberations to where they asked to go home tonight.
  294. 22:53That gives an indication that there is quite a bit of disagreement.
  295. 23:00And whatever the verdict is, it has to be unanimous.
  296. 23:02So if there is an acquittal, it has to be unanimous.
  297. 23:04If it's an acquittal not guilty by reason of insanity, it has to be unanimous.
  298. 23:10If it's a conviction of the instant charge, it has instant charge, it has to be unanimous.
  299. 23:15of its conviction of a lesser and included offense.
  300. 23:17It has to be unanimous.
  301. 23:20And with the various options presented before the jury,
  302. 23:23they have to date, say they are unable to arrive
  303. 23:26at a unanimous verdict.
  304. 23:34What does this say about our society?
  305. 23:38And I said it before, it's amazing.
  306. 23:41You have all, you have people who are rallying
  307. 23:45to support this woman who murdered her children.
  308. 23:50I've seen no radical support to children.
  309. 23:53And you've seen, we've seen women with literally zero evidence whatsoever to accuse the husband
  310. 24:04and father of murder and the children with no evidence?
  311. 24:17This is, you know, if you have ever been to Washington, DC and you go to the Jefferson Memorial,
  312. 24:28you can see he, a part of one of his famous writings, he said that he shutters to think
  313. 24:36And it's about God being just, you know.
  314. 24:41Oh man, this is not a good indication for where we are in our society, man.
  315. 24:50There has been, and no people get mad, but whatever.
  316. 24:53And feminism has done a job on our country, and it's affected men and women.
  317. 25:00You know?
  318. 25:05You might think it's too far afield, but it's feminism that contributed to men being willing
  319. 25:11to be even dressed up to look like women,
  320. 25:16to where being genuinely authentically masculine dude,
  321. 25:23it's not cool anymore.
  322. 25:25They had the whole screed about toxicity
  323. 25:26and all that kind of stuff.
  324. 25:30Man, it's crazy.
  325. 25:31It's crazy, it's crazy, it's crazy.
  326. 25:37Our, our country man, we're in great need.
  327. 25:41We're in great need, we're in great need.
  328. 25:45Then you have this horrible tragedy
  329. 25:48that began in parts of China that affected Nepal.
  330. 25:52And I wanted to get my facts straight on this
  331. 25:55before I talked about it publicly.
  332. 25:58But last Wednesday, and disaster struck
  333. 26:04in remote regions of Nepal and in China,
  334. 26:07at around 8.37 a.m. local time on Wednesday,
  335. 26:10a seismic census registered a 4.4 magnitude earthquake
  336. 26:15in the remote mountains of Nepal.
  337. 26:20But here's the thing, there was no earthquake.
  338. 26:22There was no earthquake.
  339. 26:25Scientists soon learned thereafter that vast quantities of ice and debris had broken off
  340. 26:31from a glacier falling some 4,000 feet into the ravine below.
  341. 26:39The U.S. Geological Survey registered that event as a 5.2 magnitude landslide.
  342. 26:48the ice and debris then hurtled down the valley moving at frightening speed, burying
  343. 26:54or sweeping away practically everything in its path.
  344. 27:00And the path remained narrow due to the rugged terrain in the area.
  345. 27:04And scientists at the Catman-Doo-based International Center for Integrated Mounted Development later
  346. 27:12said that the water level of the Trishule River rose 27 feet in half of an hour, 27 feet
  347. 27:21within 30 minutes.
  348. 27:24And the tidal wave carried bodies as far as 150 miles away.
  349. 27:30Many of you have seen videos of this.
  350. 27:34I mean, it's heartbreaking.
  351. 27:40Here's a brief report and I have some data, some numbers that are updated even since this
  352. 27:45video was provided.
  353. 27:47Listen to and watch clip number four, clip four, go.
  354. 27:51Janelle, good morning.
  355. 27:52It really has just into the Bolstas, new numbers.
  356. 27:54The death toll in Nepal and China has now topped 1,000.
  357. 27:57And this morning, rescuers are trying
  358. 27:59to reach some of the hardest hit areas, including hundreds
  359. 28:01of workers feared trapped underground.
  360. 28:04In Nepal alone, more than 3,900 people are still missing.
  361. 28:07That includes about 900 hydro power workers with roughly 500
  362. 28:12to be trapped inside tunnels.
  363. 28:14Now the flooding wiped out roads and bridges.
  364. 28:17So they're using helicopters now being used
  365. 28:19to reach stranded communities.
  366. 28:21More than 11,000 people have been rescued,
  367. 28:24but crews are still struggling to reach
  368. 28:26some of those most remote areas.
  369. 28:31The most recent reports I got before coming on the air live
  370. 28:34this evening is that the death toll has now eclipsed.
  371. 28:361,000 people confirmed dead.
  372. 28:39Another more than 5,000 people are still missing.
  373. 28:43And that is all from the Napoli side,
  374. 28:48the Paul side of the border.
  375. 28:52Chinese authorities have confirmed,
  376. 28:54I mean, can you trust the Chinese authorities?
  377. 28:56But the Chinese authorities have confirmed 16 people,
  378. 29:0016 Chinese citizens dead and another 550 missing.
  379. 29:06But one thing that I don't know if many people realize
  380. 29:08that there were 90 Americans who are among those
  381. 29:12was still missing who were in the area.
  382. 29:18And I was trying to get information,
  383. 29:20get facts about different things.
  384. 29:22I saw some reports circulating about,
  385. 29:26well, China had this hydroelectric project
  386. 29:28that they were building.
  387. 29:30There's some disputes about that, whether or not
  388. 29:33that's actually accurate.
  389. 29:35But here are some things that I found
  390. 29:37as I did a bit of research on this.
  391. 29:41You had experts who had warned of this type of disaster
  392. 29:44for years. So much so that this exact same river flooded just last year at this exact same time in 2025.
  393. 29:55The same river flooded in 2025. And after the 2025 flood, the Nepalese government was implored
  394. 30:10to implement a new sirens and alarm system to notify people in the region because the flooding
  395. 30:18was something they'd been warned of, but they didn't do so.
  396. 30:24So this, as I mentioned, 27 feet of water that swelled in less than 30 minutes.
  397. 30:33Let me try to express this properly.
  398. 30:36Caught all of these people off guard.
  399. 30:38Yeah, 27 feet rising in less than 30 minutes.
  400. 30:46I'm sharing this man and this one in particular to encourage you to pray for these families,
  401. 31:02And the things that are happening domestically,
  402. 31:08when you see, it's just, man, it's so agreed
  403. 31:12you see people at home, they have a computer
  404. 31:16and a cell phone and now they become, you know,
  405. 31:19psychologists and psychiatrists because they read,
  406. 31:23you know, a Google Doc, you know, just like,
  407. 31:25man, come on, stop the presses.
  408. 31:28You guys, you're not mental health professionals,
  409. 31:35but we have a society, man, that has been,
  410. 31:38that as you want to talk about discipleship,
  411. 31:40that has cultivated and hostility towards children.
  412. 31:47Years ago, I played the audio for you of Chelsea Clinton,
  413. 31:52celebrating the billions of dollars that have been generated,
  414. 31:57specifically because women have been able
  415. 31:59to kill their own children,
  416. 32:02and to say yes, look at all of the money
  417. 32:05we've been able to generate,
  418. 32:09in cultivating this hostility and this animosity
  419. 32:13towards children. And when you consider the people who would advocate for policies that
  420. 32:25will allow this, like in Massachusetts, just pass the Massachusetts.
  421. 32:31Oh, Abraham, nobody wants to have unfettered full 40-week gestational access to kill the children
  422. 32:38as they're developing. Well, have you just seen the law of Massachusetts just passed?
  423. 32:45I'm not trying to be sensationalist.
  424. 32:48I'm not trying to be, you know, to, to, to trifle
  425. 32:53and hyperbole.
  426. 32:54Guys, this is real.
  427. 32:57And we, when we've had a society that has been saying
  428. 33:00for years and years and years that children are
  429. 33:02in impediment to the American dream,
  430. 33:04children are in hindrance to your future,
  431. 33:05children will keep you from fulfilling your dream,
  432. 33:07children are the enemy, children are the, children
  433. 33:09are the things.
  434. 33:12And you have these women saying, hey, I could be
  435. 33:14Lindsey Clancy, really?
  436. 33:19I understand that parenting is challenging,
  437. 33:21and I know it very well.
  438. 33:25But to take something as beautiful, and as natural,
  439. 33:29and as God designed as parenting,
  440. 33:32parenthood, and specifically motherhood,
  441. 33:35and to twist that into something
  442. 33:41that is perceived as an impediment to a good life,
  443. 33:47we have to understand, man,
  444. 33:48that that is a doctrine of demons.

  465. 35:10Back to the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio.
  466. 35:15Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton the third.
  467. 35:18He or so I alluded to this last week, just last week.
  468. 35:22I alluded to this earlier in the show, just last week,
  469. 35:25the Birmingham, England City Council.
  470. 35:27Birmingham is the second largest city in England.
  471. 35:31The Birmingham City Council of its own initiative sought an injunction from the high court there
  472. 35:40to prohibit, and this is the word they use, to prohibit the flying of flags from lampposts,
  473. 35:49lampposts, because in their words, there are activists in Britain who are going around,
  474. 35:56you know, doing this dastardly thing, you know, you want to know what the dastardly thing is?
  475. 36:01that they were flying what is commonly known as the English flag or St. George's flag from
  476. 36:07like lamppost and street lights and things of that nature all around Birmingham. They also
  477. 36:16were putting up and in case you don't know, if you do a quick search I didn't even actually
  478. 36:21do this Jeff, but if you can would you look up and get a screenshot for the people watching
  479. 36:26the St. George's flag, the English flag is a white background has a red cross and middle.
  480. 36:31That's it.
  481. 36:32That's it.
  482. 36:33The other flag that was being put up around Birmingham, England, did I say it was in England?
  483. 36:39Did I say that already?
  484. 36:41Is the UK flag, you know, the United Kingdom Union Jack flag, you know, when you think about
  485. 36:49the UK's flag, would you get that one too, Jeff?
  486. 36:53The Union Jack flag.
  487. 36:55And whenever you got them, just go ahead and put them up on the screen.
  488. 36:58And after you put them up on the screen, I'm going to play the clip that I have for the
  489. 37:02people.
  490. 37:03But I want y'all to think about this.
  491. 37:05It is the Birmingham, England, city council itself that filed for an injunction to prohibit
  492. 37:13St. George's flag and the Union Jack flag, the UK flag from being flown anywhere in Birmingham
  493. 37:22unless they've received private authorization.
  494. 37:26I mean, prior authorization, okay?
  495. 37:29I know I asked you just now.
  496. 37:34We don't have it.
  497. 37:36You got it?
  498. 37:37Oh, yeah.
  499. 37:38But, yeah, this is why I'm showing these videos, because if I didn't show the video, y'all would think I'm making this up.
  500. 37:45But, shortly before the Birmingham City Council sought a legal injunction to prohibit what's commonly known as the English flag or the UK's Union Jack flag from being flown in public.
  501. 37:59Y'all want to know what the Birmingham City Council did?
  502. 38:04They voted to raise the Pakistani flag above the Birmingham City Council.
  503. 38:15Cole.
  504. 38:16Sure did.
  505. 38:17You stupid.
  506. 38:18Now just so everybody can know what I'm talking about, would you please show the St.
  507. 38:23George's flag, St. George's flags, St. George's cross on the screen for the people who are
  508. 38:27watching those who are listening to the show on the left.
  509. 38:30You have St. George's flag, white background, red cross in the middle, commonly described
  510. 38:35as the English flag. On the right hand of the screen you have the Union Jack flag, which is
  511. 38:41the flag that is meant to reflect the United Kingdom, which includes, you know, Wales and,
  512. 38:46you know, think it is the UK flag. The Birmingham City Council itself filed for an injunction
  513. 38:54to keep these flags from being flown because they said the unauthorized flying of these flags
  514. 39:01Quotes, quote, puts public safety at risk, end quote.
  515. 39:08So they'll be like highways, the flags on the side of the highways and things.
  516. 39:12It puts public safety at risk.
  517. 39:17Yeah, guys, I am not, you know, look, you can go look it up for yourself.
  518. 39:23We need to keep these flags from being flown and Birmingham, you know, that's how they say
  519. 39:26Birmingham, because it puts public safety at risk.
  520. 39:31Now check this out.
  521. 39:32This is a couple days ago, y'all.
  522. 39:35Listen to and watch clip number three,
  523. 39:38in which you will see the Pakistani flag
  524. 39:45brought high above the Birmingham City Council building
  525. 39:48as they're celebrating Pakistan independence day.
  526. 39:51Cannot make this stuff up.
  527. 39:52Clip number three, go.
  528. 39:54I feel the mind of the strength and the diversity
  529. 39:57and the unity in raising this flag
  530. 40:00we recognize the rich culture and tradition
  531. 40:03and current mission of the Pakistani community
  532. 40:05so much is the very city of the
  533. 40:07very many making this special direction
  534. 40:09I'd like to welcome the
  535. 40:12Council General of the past and part of the one place
  536. 40:15It will not be a member of the Pakistani community here
  537. 40:24On behalf of the constrainer Pakistan in Birmingham
  538. 40:27I would like to thank the honorable Lord Mayor for this opportunity
  539. 40:32for the practice of seeing the city hall in Birmingham today
  540. 40:35Thank you so much
  541. 40:47Now, the building in the background, guys, that's Birmingham City Hall.
  542. 41:36Am I the only one that notices the irony?
  543. 41:39The same place and the same people that are saying you can't fly St. George's flag or
  544. 41:45the Union Jack flag are also at the same time raised in the Pakistani flag over City Hall.
  545. 41:55That makes sense to y'all.
  546. 41:58So what is it?
  547. 41:59Union Jack Flag and the St. George's Cross,
  548. 42:02that's a threat to public safety.
  549. 42:04Which public is not feeling safe
  550. 42:10with the Union Jack Flag being flown in Birmingham, England,
  551. 42:15but you can raise the Pakistani flag.
  552. 42:17What people often ask me,
  553. 42:19why do you keep showing this stuff?
  554. 42:20I keep showing you these things guys
  555. 42:21because the people across the pond
  556. 42:24are just a little bit further from where we are.
  557. 42:28Now, here we are today.
  558. 42:31It is September 1st.
  559. 42:34We are literally 10 days away from the date 25 years ago,
  560. 42:41where Muslim terrorists got in planes
  561. 42:46and struck the World Trade Center.
  562. 42:49And when did this happen?
  563. 42:50Oh yes, in New York.
  564. 42:51Now who's the governor of,
  565. 42:54yeah, that would be Kathy Hokel.
  566. 42:5825 years after that,
  567. 43:02Kathy Hokel was attempting to appeal
  568. 43:05to certain voters.
  569. 43:07But I want you to take note,
  570. 43:10because it just so happens,
  571. 43:12She participated in a meeting in New York
  572. 43:17with Muslim leaders.
  573. 43:19And what I want you to see is the attire of choice,
  574. 43:23Kathy Hochulch, decided to wear for this meeting.
  575. 43:28When you're ready, Jeff, go ahead and put the picture up.
  576. 43:31Go ahead and put the picture up of New York's,
  577. 43:34fight the patriarchy, Kathy Hochul.
  578. 43:41And what you're gonna see,
  579. 43:42I'm gonna describe it for those who are listening
  580. 43:43to the audio only because there she is. There's New York's governor, Kathy Hocho, with with
  581. 43:56Don in her hijab. Don in her hijab. I said earlier, conquest or surrender. It seems that
  582. 44:09Birmingham has surrendered. Well, what say you New York would say you, United States
  583. 44:16of America. This, this is, and I understand, you know, people saying, well, you know, maybe
  584. 44:27she's just trying to be respectful. Okay. I have an idea. How about people who come to
  585. 44:35our country from other places be respectful of our country? You think that's an idea?
  586. 44:41What, what, one of the things y'all come go with before a second here, one of the things
  587. 44:45that we believe in our country is that our women are not property.
  588. 44:51Now, as a Christian man, I believe in modesty, sure.
  589. 44:59But also as a Christian man, I know the scripture says that a woman's here is the glory of the
  590. 45:02woman.
  591. 45:04Why does respect display have to go one way?
  592. 45:14And you see, I just will happen to know that these types of displays are viewed by people
  593. 45:20who would want to contrary to what Abdul Al-Sai Ed might mention, but who would want
  594. 45:26Sharia law brought into the United States of America.
  595. 45:29They see that as a sign.
  596. 45:31Oh, yes, we are on our way.
  597. 45:34So why couldn't those people respect America's values?
  598. 45:40And I'm saying this again as, you know, Gavinito Nusilini is trying to, well, it's already
  599. 45:56past the legislature is preparing to sign into law, a bill to recognize Islamic holy
  600. 46:05days.
  601. 46:09This is right.
  602. 46:10And you say, that's all a part of the demeaning of the female members of society.
  603. 46:14That's exactly right.
  604. 46:19What I'm saying guys is we can look at what's happening over the pond and say, man, isn't
  605. 46:26that terrible?
  606. 46:27seems like England is been taken without without really much resistance.
  607. 46:37But you have some of the same things happening here.
  608. 46:45Thankfully people are waking up, but we're waking up to what end, you know?
  609. 46:59Would we be hesitant to go to certain places to share the gospel out of fear of our physical
  610. 47:05safety here in America I'm talking about?
  611. 47:07And I know what people would say, but I know what it's like to go and evangelize in the
  612. 47:17projects where it's guns and violence and drugs and all that kind of stuff.
  613. 47:24But a lot of the people I was going to evangelize with came from those same projects.
  614. 47:33But now we have reports of people attempting to go into places like Dearborn and others
  615. 47:39to evangelize and they're literally facing stonings that local police don't go into certain
  616. 47:44areas.
  617. 47:47again, I'm not trying to be hyperbolic. But we need to be
  618. 47:52honest about what's going on. I'm doing, I said, nobody's trying
  619. 47:59to impose a real law on anybody else. Then why would the
  620. 48:02governor of New York be compelled to wear a hijab? Hey, if we
  621. 48:15mutual respect, I respect you, you respect me. I know in your
  622. 48:21faith, women where he jobs, but hitting United States of
  623. 48:23America, we don't compel people. So he jobs, it seems like
  624. 48:27That would be a simple conversation, right?
  625. 48:29No, no, no, no, no, no.
  626. 48:36But thanks me to God that this is not the end
  627. 48:38of the conversation.
  628. 48:42And as Ezra sat, as he first was appalled,
  629. 48:44and he said he sat all night appalled
  630. 48:46when he cried out to the Lord
  631. 48:47and the Lord gave wisdom inside in Revelation.
  632. 48:52And guys, we have the same opportunity today.
  633. 48:57But it's a comment upon all of us to step up
  634. 49:00and to be present where we are.
  635. 49:02What do I mean by being present?
  636. 49:03being first and foremost invested
  637. 49:05and executing our King's commission,
  638. 49:08living locally, no, making it,
  639. 49:12or not not making it, but embracing it as a part
  640. 49:15of your mission to recognize, man,
  641. 49:17God's divine providence allows your neighbor
  642. 49:19to be across the street from me.
  643. 49:25Lord, why have you allowed my neighbor
  644. 49:26to be across the street from me?
  645. 49:28What would you have for me to be about, for me to do?
  646. 49:33I don't wanna be among the people that just observe
  647. 49:37and complain about the darkness.
  648. 49:40I wanna be involved in putting the light on the lampstand.
  649. 49:44And the beautiful thing about the Lord,
  650. 49:46He said of Himself and I'd be lifted up.
  651. 49:48If I'd be lifted up, I would draw all men to myself.
  652. 49:53And I heard a brief clip, part of the commercial
  653. 49:57when Rick Green was talking about it,
  654. 49:58and said, man, we need to be not like the 10 spies.
  655. 50:02We need to be like the two spies.
  656. 50:03So yeah, we know what's in the land,
  657. 50:05but we interpret the reality of the opportunity before us
  658. 50:09in light of the God who's ordained us for this moment.
  659. 50:14Let's be about our Father's business and let's not miss our moment.
  660. 50:22Because the arms of our Lord have not whacked short to where he is unable to save in our day.
  661. 50:27But he has chosen to use his body as his hands and his feet.
  662. 50:32Let's be about our Father's business.
  663. 50:35Lord Willing, we'll be back tomorrow.
