[] Character Revealed in Crisis: The speaker suggests that major events reveal people's true character, exposing underlying racism and prejudice.
[] Prophecy of Division: Using Matthew 24, the sermon connects modern racial tensions to biblical prophecies about "race war" and division in the last days.
[] Satan's Plan: The ultimate goal of Satan is to destroy all of humanity, and he uses racial division as a key tool. The speaker warns that all nations will eventually unite against God's people.
[] The Gospel is the Solution: The "everlasting gospel" is presented as the only true solution to combat racism and hatred, as it must be preached to all people without distinction.
[] Rebuke of Racism in the Church: The sermon strongly condemns any church leader or ministry that promotes any form of racial supremacy, urging believers to separate from them.
[] Biblical Examples of Prejudice: The speaker uses biblical stories, including the Jews' prejudice against Samaritans and the Apostle Peter's initial racism, to show that this has been a long-standing issue even among God's people.
[] The Good Samaritan: The parable is highlighted to show God's contempt for racism. The speaker notes that being racist is a violation of the second table of the Ten Commandments (love for neighbor).
