About this illustration

Cup, scales, pillars, and horns are psalmic symbols; no bodily judge or forced drinking is shown.

Scripture basis: Psalms 75:1–10
  1. 1To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, A Psalm or Song of Asaph. Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.
  2. 2When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.
  3. 3The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.
  4. 4I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
  5. 5Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.
  6. 6For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.
  7. 7But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.
  8. 8For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.
  9. 9But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
  10. 10All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

The Book of Enoch (Part 4)

In The Book of Enoch (Part 4), Pastor Dean Odle presents Enoch’s visions as an ancient prophetic witness to Jesus Christ—the Elect One, Righteous One, Son of Man, and Anointed One. He compares passages from 1 Enoch 39–62 with Genesis, Hebrews, Isaiah, the Gospels, Paul’s letters, and Revelation. Odle argues that Enoch anticipates Christ’s preexistence, wisdom, saving name, resurrection of the righteous, heavenly dwellings, the defeat of Satan, the judgment of rulers, and the final separation of the righteous from the wicked.

Trump & the Future of America

Preached immediately after the July 2024 attempt on Donald Trump’s life, this message presents Dean Odle’s belief that God raised Trump as a flawed instrument to restrain evil and give the United States further mercy. Odle recounts prophetic impressions from 2016 onward, compares God’s choices of Cyrus and David, discusses presidential security, foreign policy, political office, and personal dreams, and distinguishes support for an instrument from worship of a politician; those prophetic and political claims remain the speaker’s interpretations.

The Mountain of God in the North, Paradise & Christmas (Part 1)

In “The Mountain of God in the North, Paradise & Christmas (Part 1),” Pastor Dean Odle presents a Scripture-centered message about the authority of Scripture, faith, eternal life and hope. Drawing especially from Romans 1, Ezekiel 28, Psalm 48, Psalm 75, the teaching emphasizes that Scripture is presented as the standard for doctrine, discernment, and daily obedience. Odle connects that foundation with the conviction that biblical faith trusts God’s character and acts upon His promises.
