These are the words of John Hagee to his faithful congregation in San Antonio TX.
The meaning of those words goes a long way in helping to understand why those on the Right vote against their own best interests.
They never question what they're told because they're the servants, the sheep.

That is the root of what puts the Liberals/Progressives at a disadvantage. Herding cats vs herding sheep.
