Flood Waters and the High Ground of a Nation

When God chooses a nation, it is as though He has placed it on high ground, protecting it from the floods of judgment, which will come upon the land. He has only chosen two nations in the entire history of the world – one being Israel, and the other, America. How are they different from the other nations of the world? Their foundations were built on the Law of God (the Ten Commandments) and He ruled over the nations as Supreme Ruler. Hence, for the nation, Israel, the books of Old Testament Scriptures were the source for the Law and its judicial system, while the Bible became the source of Law for America and her judicial system.
In this country, the Bible is considered the source for all truth. It was not religion, which provided a standard for the two nations of America; it is a fact that religion, or the doctrinal belief system, and not truth, was separated from the state. The truth of the Bible was fully incorporated into our two governmental systems. This is the difference between these two nations and all the other nations of the world, which are under religious/state controls. They are all part of what is known as the Babylonian, religious, political and economic system, or empire building governments of the world. They depend on the strength or power of man to rule by the sword, as compared to America, which derives her power from God, as did ancient Israel, before her. Canada’s tie to the British monarchy does not include any tie to a state church; it could be said, as well, that the monarchy retains its title, but the power has been stripped from it in this land, and given to God.
Even England was numbered among the empire-building nations of the world. Consequently, in spite of the fact that she has united herself with Western policy and thinking, she finds herself resting on lower ground, as a part of the EU, a confederation of states, which can be related to the ten toes of the statue of King Nebuchadnezzar. It was at the beginning of the Babylonian captivity of Judah when this king of Babylon had a dream of a statue, which symbolized all of the Babylonian system of world empire-building governments, yet to come in world history.
Daniel was given understanding from God, concerning the form each successive empire-building government would take, with the last being a divided empire, represented by the ten toes of the statue, symbolizing a confederation of ten countries. They would be both weak and strong at the same time, with the weakness of clay pointing to the weakness of different cultures coming together to form a loosely aligned body of independent nations, which would grow in number to have an iron-clad power in unity.
God has always separated His people from the eastern cultic religions of the world. The Puritans, who settled America, believed that they had come to a new Israel and another Promised Land. Christopher Columbus, the explorer, believed that his mission was ordained by God, wherein he would sail to a new land, claiming both it and its people for Him. Only Israel and America have been taken to higher ground, where they were protected from the flood waters of judgment, which have now begun to come in over the lands of all the nations of the world.
Then why is America suffering judgment today, along with the religious countries of the world? She has chosen to forsake her higher ground for lower ground where the rest of the nations dwell unprotected from the floods to come. One has to look to Noah and the promise, which God gave to him, when He said that He would never again cover the world with a flood that would destroy all flesh. He would reserve places of high ground where His own people could be protected from it.
Most certainly, New Orleans was not one of those places. Her low-level life, tied into witchcraft and every manner of evil, could be equated to her below-sea-level ground, where no wall could keep out the floods of judgment from the sea. They brought instant death to a city so full of corruption that it was wiped from the face of the nation, with her survivors being scattered throughout the land, as was a sinning Israel judged and scattered among the nations. One could point to New Orleans as being the Sodom of America.
Unless America learns from this piece of history in the making, she will undergo changes, whereby she will no longer rest on high ground in God and His Law. As the moral nature of the two nations declines from righteousness to depravity, so too, shall her protection diminish until she no longer will have the hand of God holding back the seawaters, which will be loosed to destroy her. These are the same seawaters from which the beast, described in the book of Revelation, will arise with the spirit of Antichrist within him.
Are we on the brink of another deadly hurricane, which is once again going to wreak its damage, as the vile creatures of the sea move in over the land? In dropping from her high place in God down to ground level, where she has erected her own man-made towers of Babel, America is in the process of rejecting His ruler-ship for the Babylonian system of economics, politics and religion. Secular humanism now rules over our courtrooms and classrooms, with agenda driven minorities and the mighty dollar ruling over governments, and with liberalism ruling over institutional churchism.
It took the space of slightly over an hour’s time, in which God allowed Satan, the ruler of the Babylonian system, to take down the twin towers of the World Trade Center. These towers of Babel, monuments to the pride of man in rebellion to God, stood in the heart of New York in strong contrast to the Statue of Liberty, a monument to God, representing the freedom He offered to a nation rooted in His Law.
What fools men were, as they looked upon the scene of the towers’ destruction, totally without any understanding of what had just occurred! They were unable to discern the message God gave to the world, which also looked upon Lady Liberty standing slightly veiled in the smoke of the ruins around her. Her torch remained high as the symbol of the light of Israel, which America had been called to display to the rest of the world, where there is no liberty without God and His Law. She stood as the symbol of high ground in contrast to the rubble lying on low ground, where the twin towers had reached skyward but moments before. As quickly as it all happened, and with that same rapidity, God’s hand of judgment will bring America to her sudden destruction.
We have a choice to make as the dual nations of America, for we are at a crossroads in our national lives. We can either rebuild those towers and challenge the Creator of the entire universe, or we can return to our true heritage in this land, which is definitely not found in multiculturalism, being nothing but multicultism. We must abandon political correctness, which wreaks only havoc, and return to the Law of God and the truth of His Word. Does America really have the guts to do what it takes, or are we a bunch of wimps ruled by wimpy leaders, bowing to every minority voice, which we allow to enter into this country?
The sun, which God created, shines brilliantly upon a world that has rejected His light for the darkness of sin. God will use the sun’s rays to heat up this earth, as rebellion increases against Him. We have a choice to make between receiving the judgment and allowing our light of liberty in Him to shine forth to the world. It has been our freedom from religion in the past, which has attracted men of all backgrounds, tribes and nations to American shores, seeking a life governed by truth, something unknown in countries of religiously controlled dictatorships.
We do not abide communist leaders, the pope or Allah, ruling over this land, which has been freed of all such types of religious ruler-ship. The heritage of this nation was about as far from cultism as one could be, when it rested on its foundational heritage in God. Now, we are choosing to be like the wicked, warring nations of the East as we import their religious cults and allow them to set up their buildings of idol worship in the midst of God’s land of promise.
Never for a moment believe that the Allah of the Koran has anything at all to do with the God of the Bible. Nor does the God of religious Judaism resemble the Lord of Hosts of the Old Testament. They were the Pharisees of Judaism who rejected Jesus. It is only because Christianity is a religion rooted in Romanism that we can unite the two in what we call Judeo-Christian values. They were both the Pharisees and Rome who collaborated together to put Jesus on the cross. This is what is known as the antichrist spirit.
Religious freedoms can never be equated to religious rights, if our nation is to survive. No one, not even the ACLU, has the right to remove God from His position as Supreme Ruler in this country, without His eventually tearing such an organization to pieces in judgment. The liberalism of institutional churches has opened the door to its own destruction, which will be as swift as was the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem, when not one stone was left standing upon another. The courts of biased liberalism will seal their own fate as they open the doorway to the Babylonian system of justice, which is not justice at all. Once the Antichrist rules over this nation, along with all the other nations of the world, he will take over the courts and tear down the American judicial system, which has already become a hotbed of liberally-biased activism.
Unless we quickly move back to high ground in this land, I can assure you that we, as nations under God, will not escape the coming floods of destruction. God simply will place His hand of protection upon His own, removing them to high ground, while striking down the sons of rebellion with the other hand of His wrath.
God is not only a God of love and compassion; He is also a God of wrath, and let no false priesthood tell you otherwise! Israel is the pattern of God giving a nation every opportunity to shape up and move to higher ground. Instead, she made the choice to place a symbol of idolatry upon her flag. At that moment, she waved goodbye to God, and His hand of protection fell away as Hitler took her people to the smoking ovens of Abraham’s dream. Down she went wearing the six-pointed star, having the mark of the beast and the number of man in his religious idolatry upon her.
America, wake up and take account of the number, which is imprinted upon you! Unless you return to God and walk away from secularism and political correctness, your destiny will be no different from that of Israel, which contains the lowest geographical point in the world, right within her borders. She has the Sea of Galilee in the north, where she rejected the high mountain offered by the Man from Galilee to, instead, choose the low point of the Dead Sea, having nothing but death within its shores.
These two seas and the Jordan River, the waters of which run from north to the south are geographically placed within Israel’s borders as a message for all of mankind, regarding the two different destinies awaiting him as the result of his choices. It is a message, which holds true for all nations. It is all about the fishermen of the Galilee, fishing men out of the Galilean sea waters for the Kingfisher of men, before they get caught in the satanic waters, which will take them, ultimately, to their death.
We, in the West, have the mountain ranges of the West, as the symbol of western liberty, but we also have, stretching from New Orleans to the Atlantic, the lowlands of the East, as a type of ‘Dead Sea’ low point. We can either exalt the mountains of God or choose to rebuild the lowlands of wickedness. The choice is ours and the hour is upon us as a nation, whereby we can take direction from history to make the right choice. If we do so, God will restore our land, and save it from the impending destruction of the satanic antichrist spirit of our time.
The flood waters of judgment are about to be released as the dam, which has been holding them back, gives way. Is Canada going to make it to high ground, or is she going to see the wave roll over her, like a tsunami over her land?
