It's been an interesting ride here over the last few months since I started preaching this publicly. But I will say this. I'm going to I'm I'm going to uh point this out today that uh we are going to look at one particular subject and God did show me some more in the scriptures about this. But that this is very biblical. And we're going to look at why this is so very important. I have one particular testimony come in to me uh on a YouTube comment that the moment I read it, tears came to my eyes. Presence of God just came over me. I read it to Nancy and it just presence of God just washed over her. It was powerful. Um I just want to say this. Look, I know there are people out there who think I'm absolutely crazy and off my rocker about this. All right? And I know there's people who are having a hard time. Even some of you may be having a hard time grasping this, believing this, accepting this because our brainwashing was very strong uh from our childhood that we live on a ball circling the sun and all these things and we've tried to justify and change things in the Bible and turn them into metaphors and ignore them. Uh but let me just say that in every move of God, and I believe we're entering into we will enter into an end time, the final move of God when all chaos and hell breaks loose. We're going to move into the last great revival as well as the great tribulation and the wrath of God and the wrath of the devil and the antichrist and everything. We're going to move into that time period, but I believe God is going to move. But in every revival, in every true revival that was a movement, that was a move of God, God restored a certain truth from the scriptures that had either been not understood or maybe ignored or pushed aside by the ecclesiastical hierarchy of whether it be the Roman Catholic Church or just dead churches in general. I'm just going to say this. Most of the churches in this world right now are apostate. They don't really believe the Bible, the whole Bible. They don't really stand for the truth. Uh they're about money. The church to them is nothing more than a business, a job. Uh an entertainment center, uh you know, a country club where you pay tithes. Uh really they're not tithes, but they're dues so you can enjoy the gym and the swimming pool and the tennis courts and I mean it's ridiculous. It's not what the church The church is supposed to be the church of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the biblical church, is supposed to be a place where you come to hear the truth of God's word, no matter what the world says. You understand? No matter what other churches say. No matter what other religions say.

You're supposed to hear the truth of God's word and especially it should make you uncomfortable if you're not believing it or you're having trouble with it. The church should be a place where you're convicted of sin, where you're convicted of doctrinal error, unbelief. It should be a place where your demons are confronted and cast out in Jesus' name. It should be a place where if you can come to church every Sunday and feel totally comfortable and not challenged, then you need to run from that place. Amen. The church is supposed to be there to make you grow up, mature in Christ, be a disciple of Jesus Christ, and believe every word of the Bible as true. Amen. Let God be true and every man a liar, says in Romans. And boy are we learning this more and more every day. So let me say as I as I begin to preach on this, and I still have people who are born-again Christians, spirit-filled Christians, believe all these other truths that I've preached, but they're struggling with this one. Right? But, why are they struggling with this one? One of them even said to me, "I don't I I still don't see it in the word." I had to tell him, "You You don't see it in the word because you don't want to see it." So, I'm going to show you some things in the word today, just particularly about does the Bible teach that the earth is flat, or does it teach that it's a round ball? That's the main thing I want to focus on today. And we're going to see there's some new scriptures, and I'm going to show you some things that are going on in this world. And even, guess what? There's even a NASA document we're going to look at today. A NASA document that I downloaded from Yes, nasa.gov. Talking about plane design of aircraft. And it says that aircraft are designed, and the all the equations are in this little book, to fly over a stationary, non-rotating, flat earth. Yeah, I'll show it to you in a minute. But, let's just look at some of the scripture. First, I want to go to Psalm 19. I know this is not on Don't have this one up right now. And you can just leave this up, Kevin, right here. For those of you looking at the our first slide here, the first picture, God's flat earth, five little piggy balloon, 120,000 21,000 ft. Uh you can find this on YouTube. This was a weather balloon test with a camera on it. Went up to 121,000 ft, did a 360 pan of the horizon. Showed absolutely no curve. Many people across the world now are doing these high altitude balloon tests. Just let it be known that the U-2
- 0:06:01
aircraft, our U-2 spy plane can only fly at 70,000 ft. And they show us their fake pictures with a curve. And I'm sorry, at 121,000 ft, there's there's no curve. And remember something. U-2 spy plane was designed by the US government, used by the CIA. Still to this day. Okay? So pardon me folks, if I don't believe the US government and NASA and branches of our military when they give us pictures. I'm going to show you though how they skew these pictures to show a curve a curvature of the earth when there's not one. But 121,000 ft right there. What does that horizon look like to you? Completely flat. Google Earth will show a curve of the earth at 60,000 ft. Not happening. Don't believe, listen to me. Don't believe the propaganda that you're shown. But before we get into this, before I show you the biblical passages that say flat. In fact, I found a passage that should be translated flat earth. I'll show it to you in just a second. All right? Please stay with me on this. All right? But why do we do this? Why do you say Pastor Dean, why would you get into something so controversial or so unbelievable or so hard for us why would you dare get into this? Well, for several reasons. Number one, I'm going to say we should never as Christians tolerate lies. We should never tolerate being lied to or deceived by anyone. There's no justification for it. If it's a lie, it's a lie. And if it's a lie, it's of the devil. Amen. Jesus said that if we would continue in his word, John 8, if we would continue in his word, then we would know the truth, and the truth would make us free. Truths make us free. It sets us free from lies, deception, error. And then Jesus made this statement in John chapter 17 when he was praying for his disciples and he said, "Lord, Father, sanctify them through thy word. Thy word is truth." Now listen, folks, in a world of lies, in a world of deception and corruption, the word of God is your only source of truth. Real truth. You understand? It's the final say-so on every matter. And especially if you're a Christian. It's not supposed to be NASA, the government,
- 0:09:02
the doctor's office, the CDC, or anybody else. They're not the final authority in the life of a Christian. If you're born again and you love Jesus as your Lord and savior, your final authority on every single matter is the word of God. Period. But it's up to you if you're going to study it. It's up to you if you're going to believe it. But I want to tell you this. If we believe what the The of God says and we believe our own eyes. And what I'm telling you today is the truth. The absolute truth. And big shock. That the world would lie to us. Remember, the NASA scientists that tell you the earth is a ball. They tell you we orbit the sun. They tell you that there's these planets and millions of other planets out there that can sustain life. These same people tell you you came from monkeys. And all of this happened by hundreds of thousands of lottery wins over millions and billions of years. That everything had to be just perfect. I'm sorry. I don't believe it. And the same people that that for some reason people are worried about you know, coming against NASA over this issue. Or any space agency or government. Listen, the same people you tell them you believe in God who became a man. Born of a virgin. Died on the cross for the sins of mankind. One man paid for everyone's sins. Died on that cross. Was buried for three days dead. And rose from the dead. And you've got a problem with me saying that the Bible says, and my own eyes tell me, and simple experiments tell me the earth is flat. The same scientist that won't accept me saying the earth is flat, won't accept me saying my savior rose from the dead on the third day. Stop trying to please and placate the world system. And Christians who want to be worldly. See, at this point I'm at a point in life where I don't care anymore. I just told a friend of mine, he's having some he was having this debate and argument with some Christians. And I'm like, stop arguing with them. They're lukewarm. They're in dead 501c3 churches.
