Foundation Building of The Bride

All time comes into Jesus, and all time starts forth again to go out from Him as the years A.D. (Anno Domini). His birth into this world marks the year of the Lord. In Him is the eternal past and from Him moves forth the eternal future. In Him all things have their being. Nothing is that He didn’t create, and nothing will be that is not of His Spirit. He will return to this earth for His own. His own is His portion. His family Israel, and His bride will be both sister and spouse, a true child of God, and a bride for the Son of God, birthed of the Spirit, and a new creation in the Spirit.
The first family relationship that God instituted was the relationship of marriage, which is between a husband and a wife. A man shall leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife and the two shall become one flesh. This was not created by man, but instituted by God. Neither man nor government can change this, no matter how many laws are passed. Man and man can never become one flesh. They can only partake in a perverted act of sex that is an abomination in God’s eyes, and will lead to death, but never to marriage. And God said to the husband and wife to be fruitful and multiply. No man can multiply with another man, nor can a woman multiply with another woman. There is no potential for a one-flesh union, nor is there any possibility in this world for fruitfulness from these sexual relationships, which God labels abominations. One may look to cloning to say that they can be fruitful, but the answer remains the same. There never can be any fruit of the union. There is no possibility whatsoever for marriage between two such people.
Call it what you will – it matters not – for there will be no marriage in heaven, only spiritual oneness with Jesus Christ. His bride will never identify herself by the orientation of homosexuality. All mankind that is saved will come before the Lord submitted as a woman to her husband. All men who will be part of the bride must birth of the Spirit by first believing in the saving power of Jesus Christ. Hence, Satan tries to attack the family to show man’s independence of God and destroy the nature of the woman. He wants men to become weak in a secondary role to woman as he seeks to make her strong and not submitted to the man. If he can create this picture in the natural, it will pave the way for his spiritual message that you don’t need God’s plan of marriage; it is ‘go’ for all sexual relations to be equated with marriage.
Now, Jesus requires repentance of man before his God of the sin in his life. God requires that man face his sin and turn it over to the Lord to take away. Eve never did such a thing, nor did Adam. So God confronted first the man, who is responsible for his family’s spiritual life, and asked, “What have you done?” Adam blamed God for giving him the woman who, he claimed, was responsible for leading him astray. Then, God confronted Eve, who, likewise, refused to take responsibility for her disobedience to Him. She said that it was not her fault, for she was deceived by the devil, which, by appealing to the lusts of the flesh, had caused her to believe the lie. What neither would admit was their own disobedience to the commandment, which God had put before them, and their lack of trust in His Word. The result was that they went into the captivity of sin and died, just as God had said they would. But in the process, Satan took ruler-ship of the world, replacing the government of God with a government that would rule by the sword. The stronger would rule over the weaker, with God allowing man to have the desires of his heart. The lies of Satan that lead to the deceit took the place of the commandment of God that was truth, and thus secular humanism was birthed in conjunction with a government of liberalism – man ruling over man in rebellion to God’s plan for liberty under His ruler-ship or dominion.
The breakdown of the family stems from secular humanism and liberalism, both of which God hates, for they are the enemies of man. They lead to establishing every abomination in the eyes of the Lord, and ultimately, fire will destroy it all. The belief that man’s economic success is his support and strength is straight from Satan. The belief that man rules the affairs of the world is from Satan. The belief that man can build towers to heaven and reach God through religious practices and good works is from Satan. Economic, political and religious systems are all doomed to destruction by fire. We watched the tall towers of the world economic system go down before our very eyes in a large ball of fire, as a warning to the nation of God’s judgment to come on a covenanting partner who walks away from Him.
The Book of Revelation is all about a bride and a harlot. Two women are rising up in the end days. One woman, coming out of Israel, has the mark of God on her forehead, and is birthing a movement in the Spirit. The other has the mark of the beast on her and comes forth from the systems of Satan. One worships in Spirit and in truth, the other worships in the religious systems, having no spirit of life in her. One follows in the footsteps of Eve, the mother of all living and Jezebel, the other is birthing miraculously of the Spirit, as did the first wives of Israel, Sarah and Mary. One has the spirit of witchcraft and death running in her veins, the other the Spirit of life, God-breathed into her.
Never shall the religion of the East meet with the truth of the West, for so far has He removed our transgressions from us (see Psalm 103). Liberty today is associated with Israel and the West, whose governments are founded on the Law of God. Satan and his nations based on religion, hate the Jew of Israel, the nation by bloodline, and the Jew, the believer, the true Jew of the West who believes in Jesus Christ and His Word, the very foundation of America’s liberty. Satan seeks to enter and destroy any covenant move that moves man closer to bringing forth the bride of Christ, the reason for the creation of man. She will be a woman submitted to Jesus, the Man she worships and adores, and upon Whom she depends for nourishment, strength and protection. She sees herself as weak, yet strong in Him. Satan hates this marriage relationship.
So what is the nature of our battle today? It has radical homosexuality and radical feminism at the center of it, twisting and perverting the marriage relationship into a counterfeit relationship, by way of the lie. They work together to destroy the family by using the liberal governments of this world, lobbying forcefully to enlist them for the purpose of getting laws passed that will endorse their cause. Liberalism hates the opposition, and its means of attack is by name-calling of the detested promoters of truth and God’s Word. This is witchcraft at work in the nation, and in the church to infiltrate the systems in order to bring together the East and the West. It is not by chance that the immigration to the land of liberty has changed from God-fearing people to those seduced by the spirit of religion, who hate the name of Jesus. These people come to Canada, wanting the teaching of truth, the Word of God and prayer removed from our schools and our courts, less we offend their faith and their gods, at the expense of teaching our children in the ways of a proper relationship with our God.
Whom will God raise up to fight the public worship of foreign gods in this land? It will not be the nation, which walked away from God’s Law, or the institution of the church, which is in captivity to religion. It will be the bride who will come out of institutions and systems to rest on the foundation built by the apostles, the chief cornerstone being Jesus Himself. She will worship in Spirit, not systems, and she will stand on the truth of the Word from which she will not depart. For she is betrothed to the Beloved, having eyes only for Him and not for Solomon who is the picture of Antichrist, himself. The religious, or the daughters of Jerusalem, follow him and worship his 666 talents of gold of this world that he extracts from the nations yearly.
Where will the Lord find His bride? She will come out of Babylon where she was held captive, as was Israel for 70 years, pointing to 7 millennia of Israel’s spiritual captivity. She will make her own exodus out of religious systems and institutions, just as Israel the nation made her exodus from Egypt. The bride will dwell in the New Jerusalem when God has it prepared as a bride and ready for her, after the old heaven and earth have passed away. She must prepare the way for the rebuilding, like Ezra and Nehemiah did in restoring the foundation started by David and Solomon, but this will be a revived apostolic church built on the apostolic foundation started centuries earlier and brought to a halt by Roman opposition. Like Ezra, she will call the church and nation back to the Lord and back to purity in the truth of the Word. She will be called to eat the scrolls and taste the sweetness of the love and promise, yet feel the bitterness that she will be forced to endure from Satan and his armies. She may be required to break from unequally yoked marriages, and from relationships that are with foreigners of the other nations, for her family will become the family of Israel, and religion and truth will be as incompatible as oil is to water. They do not mix.
Where will the Lord begin? He will begin in the King’s Town, in a nation designated by the leaf on her flag for the healing of the nations. Here there will be a beginning of the captives held in the jails of religion being set free from the institutional temples of man, to come out from under the darkness. A woman wearing a crown of twelve stars, the apostolic crown of Israel, clothed in the light of the Son of Man and stepping on the reflected light of the moon that is Satan, with no light in him at all, will begin birthing the sister, the spouse, the man-child, who will rule and reign with a scepter of iron with her Beloved Lord and King, Jesus Christ. This is His bride and she will be snatched up to the throne of God. Satan will attack her, but he cannot get at her, for she is fully protected by her Beloved to Whom she belongs. So, he will go after the others who keep the Commandments of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.
The battle is on for the souls of man. The army of warriors is the Lord’s voice for truth, marching into the nation under the banner of Jesus, in the same way that the prophets of old went before rulers, calling the people back to God. This is no institution, but rather the voice of the Spirit and the bride, making the last covenant move before Jesus returns. She is as John the Baptist, who was the last of the Levitical High Priest line, in that she is of the new crossover Davidic priest-king line that shall rule and reign with Jesus. Every king of Israel had his high priest and prophet who lobbied before him as the messengers of God. They were as his cupbearers, separating the poison of religion from the truth of God. Now, the bride is cupbearer and messenger to the institutional church and the ruler of the nation. Jezebel, the harlot, is arising at the same time as the mother of religious systems, Babylon the Great, the abominations of the earth.
Where will you stand? God said to Ezekiel, “Stand up,” and as he obeyed, God caused him to stand and go forth into the nation with God’s message of judgment. Will you be heard? As God said to the Shulamite, “Let them hear your voice, for the daughters of Jerusalem are waiting.” And as Mordecai warned Esther, the queen, “Do not think that you can remain silent because you are in the palace of the king, and not die like the other Jews. Perhaps you have been put there for such a time as this, to speak to the ruler on behalf of your nation.” (See Esther 4:13-14). A church that does not speak the truth and lobby or plead before the rulers of the land is not a bride-queen at all, but will be nothing more than a religious system that will go down with the harlot, riding the beast all the way in her compromised position.
Repent! Pray and listen for the call of the Lord to His people to come out of her, out of all the systems of this world that belong to Satan. The Spirit and the bride say, “Come! Let him who has ears to hear, come!”
