If It Was All Over With, Then Why Did The Lord Send A Prophet?
By Bradlee Dean April 2024
word of the LORD, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the LORD. Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place. Trust ye not in lying words… For if
ever and ever.”
“Stand in the gate of the LORD’s house (and Kings Jere- miah 17:19), and proclaim there this word!” -Jeremiah 7:1
I think of the preacher of righteousness, Noah (2 Peter 2:5). I think of Moses and Joshua, who led the children of Israel
into the Promised Land, that is, if they took heed to their leadings (1 Corinthians 10:1-5). I think of Abraham making intercession for the Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 18:23-33), the prophets sent to preserve His people in the Book of Judges, major prophets such as Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel, the small prophets such as Amos, Jonah, etc…. And in the New Testament, prophets such as Jesus, John the Baptist, Agabus and Peter all bring- ing forth the same message: “Save your- selves from this untoward generation.” (Acts 2:40). How many countries in the past, and in the present, would the Lord have preserved if only they would have amended their ways before Him?
How many times I have heard people give up on their own people and their own country is more than can be numbered? If it is not the professors in the Church that are saying that this is the end and that there is nothing that they can do, then it is the politicians acting out and parroting the same. Yet, the reality is that the present position and state of America is the fruit of both (Galatians 6:7), who have left their own duty and obligations before the Lord. “Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee; this is thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reacheth unto thine heart.” -Jeremiah 4:18
In fact, if what they were saying was true, then the Lord would not have sent a prophet!
ye throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neigh- bour; If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt: Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for
The message of the prophet sent from the Lord is always clear: Either accept the message, repent and turn from your wicked ways in keeping His judgments and statutes (Matthew 3:2; Deuteronomy 4:6; Isaiah 58:12), which is the fruit of re- pentance (2 Corinthians 7:10-11) or reject the message to your own demise.

In Chapter 7, the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD was:

In a mandatory course on “structural racism” for first-year medical students at the University of California Los Angeles, a guest speaker who has praised Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel led students in chants of “Free, Free Palestine” and demanded that they bow down to “mama earth,” according to students in the class and audio obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. Lisa “Tiny” Gray-Garcia, who has referred to the Oct. 7 ter- rorist attacks as “justice,” began the March 27 class by leading students in what she described as a “non-secular prayer” to “the ancestors,” instructing everyone to get on their knees and touch the floor — “mama earth,” as she described it — with their fists. At least half of the assembled students complied, two stu-
“The net effect was that UCLA staff intimidated first-year med- ical students into participating in a religious service in deroga- tion of their own personal beliefs,” UCLA’s Jewish Faculty Resilience Group wrote to university chancellor Gene Block on Sunday. “There needs to be an urgent and thorough external review and investigation of the medical school’s curriculum and systemic antisemitism.” UCLA and Gray-Garcia did not respond to requests for com- ment. The surreal spectacle is the latest controversy to envelop the “Structural Racism and Health Equity” class, launched in the wake of George Floyd’s death as a part of the medical school’s “anti-racism roadmap.”
dents said. Gray-Garcia, a local activist who had been in- vited to speak about “Housing (In)Justice,” proceeded to thank native tribes for preserv- ing “what the settlers call L.A.,” according to audio obtained by the Free Beacon, and to re- mind students of the city’s “herstory.” The prayer also included a benediction for “black,”
The course became the sub- ject of a civil rights complaint in January after it separated stu- dents into race-based discus- sion groups — one for white students, another for African Americans, and a third for “Non-Black People of Color.” UCLA cancelled the exercise after a Wall Street Journal ed- itorial highlighted the com- plaint. More unwanted attention came in March when the Daily Wire published portions of the course’s syllabus, which in- cludes units on “settler colo-

“brown,” and “houseless peo- ple” who die because of the “crapatalist lie” of “private prop- erty.” “Mama earth,” Gray-Garcia told the kneeling students, “was never meant to be bought, sold, pimped, or played.” So began a long and looney lecture that shocked some stu- dents at the elite medical school and has led to calls for an in- vestigation. Wearing a keffiyeh that covered her entire face, Gray-Garcia, a self-described “poverty scholar,” led the class in chants of “Free, Free Palestine” as faculty and staff looked on in silence, according to people in the course and contem- poraneous text messages reviewed by the Free Beacon. One of the onlookers was Lindsay Wells, a pediatrician at UCLA and the director of the mandatory first-year course, “Structural Racism and Health Equity,” who did not respond to a request for comment. Gray-Garcia later referred to modern medicine as “white sci- ence” and inveighed against the “occupation” of “Turtle Island” — that is, the United States — before asking students to stand for a second prayer. This time, nearly everyone rose. When one student remained seated, according to students in the class, a UCLA administrator, whom the Free Beacon

nialism” and recommends a podcast about “Indigenous womxn’s health.” Students are also urged to read an essay, “Decolonization is not a metaphor,” that describes the “epis- temic, ontological, cosmological violence” of “the settler.” Gray-Garcia’s talk offers a window into the way these con- cepts are shaping the classroom experience at one of the top medical schools in the country — and raises serious questions about how that school vetted a speaker with a long history of anti-Israel and anti-Semitic posts. “When u resist after decades of relentless poLicing, killing & terrorizing,” Gray-Garcia tweeted on Nov. 1, “that’s not ‘terror- ism’ that’s justice.” Israel, she declared in 2018, is “amerikkklan.” News of Gray-Garcia’s lecture comes as the Department of Education is investigating UCLA over a string of anti-Semitic episodes on campus, including an incident in which students bludgeoned a pi ñ ata with a picture of Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s face.
