You shall not construct out of existingmaterials any idol, or any likeness of

anything that is in heaven above, or thatis on earth beneath, or that is in thewater under the earth. (Ex. 20:4 EXT)

You shall not cause yourself to bow downto them nor cause yourself to receiveenslavement to them; for I, the LORD yourGod, permit no rival, punishing the

iniquity of the fathers upon the childrendown to the third and fourth generationsof them that hate Me. (Ex. 20:5 EXT)

The book is available at the church or by writing to the address below. Indicate the title along with your complete mailing address.

Mankind’s original authority structure was

the organized humility of the home and the training of children by their parents. If a child rejects parental authority, he will later reject other forms of divine authority. If this anti-authority attitude is developed early in life, submitting to the authority of an invisible God becomes less likely. The Four-Generation Curse is imposed due to collective decisions by the client nation’s Pivot, each generation choosing to spurn or ignore Christ, the authority of God, and the power of His Word. Only by personal love for God and the desire to learn, defend, and apply His inerrant Scripture can the believer have invisible historical impact that our nation’s current disorder and instability urgently needs.
