Voice of the Kingfisher speaks out …from a different perspective

The omer of manna is attached to the 7 thunders judgment and the prophetic voice of God, which has thundered in judgment along the Way of history (His story) through the voices of His prophets. It has everything to do with the changing nature of the covenant of God with man. The Way was established, the moment God drove man out of the Garden, and placed cherubim with a flaming sword on the east side, which turned every way to protect the tree of life.
A changing or evolving covenant leads the Way to the kingdom on earth signified by the Land of Promise or the Promised Land, or Paradise restored, or the Garden of Eden restored just east of Eden. This points us into the future and a westward journey across the sea when God’s people are driven from the Land, just east of Eden, called Israel. There is no land beyond it until one reaches the Eden of America (a type of heaven on earth) – although the enemy of God wants to claim a piece between the Land of Israel and America. It is called the Gaza Strip.
The omer of manna was substance like the dust in need of a covering of dew from above. There was no living water or life in it, which is found only in the blood, but there was a miracle in it. It is, however, found to be in relationship with a changing covenant and a thundering moment of revelatory prophecy, which ushers in first, the covenant, and then its changing nature over a 7 millennial period. In prophecy, this period is represented by the angel of God struggling with Jacob to finally bring him, the father of the house of Israel, back to his home and family of God as true sons and nations of believers dwelling around the Manor House of the Lord in the kingdom.
This takes us back to the beginning of the covenant, between God and man, which began with the closure of the Garden on the east side. Sinful, now religious man was driven out of the Garden and into the East for accepting the first religious belief system of Satan, causing him to fall under Satan’s government, built on empires, instead of on God’s ruler-ship. Immediately, God established the Way back westward, which would lead from the curse of death, beyond the sea to the kingdom of heaven, where there will be sea no longer.
The entire world belongs to God, but the spirit of the sea will not exist in His kingdom. It will have no ability to erupt and explode with tidal waves covering the kingdom of God, where there is only the Spirit of life and truth. The dividing wall of heaven is a mighty fortress keeping all evil out, as did the protected closure on the east side of the Garden keep the evil of eastern religion and its death culture from the tree of life, the source of the life culture.
The omer of manna must be transformed within a covenant transformation from substance to flesh, with the flesh being that of one man in particular. His name is Jesus, the Son of Man and the Son of God. He is more than the substance man; He is the spiritual Man born of the seed of the virginal woman – uncorrupted by the seed of the man Adam. The Man, Jesus, was born by the breath of the Spirit of life entering into the woman.
The testimony of Jesus is given in the spirit of prophecy (Revelation 19:10). The prophecy of a changing covenant of God with man begins and ends in the same covenant but it is a living covenant, which changes in form.
The end is known from the beginning. It begins with one man Noah who is the first voice of the first thunder of which there are seven in all. With the sound of the 7th thunder, the mystery of God will be finished as He declares it to His servants the prophets.
Right from the beginning with Noah, it has been all about the rainbow being at the heart of the covenant, which is the light (Genesis 9:13) broken for you and me. His name is Jesus. With the sounding of the 7 thunders an angel clothed in a cloud with a rainbow on His head, His face like the sun and His feet like pillars of fire appeared with a little book in His hand and cried with a loud cry as when a lion roars, like the Lion of Judah. With this sounding of the 7th angel, the mystery of God would be finished as He declared to His servants the prophets (Revelation 10:7).
Who were the other six voices, including that of the 7th thunder? They are the voices of certain prophets, apostles and the bride whose voices are heard with each new move of the covenant begun with Noah and established with Abraham and his sons of the inheritance, a man who responded to God in faith and obedience when God spoke directly to him. His was the 2nd of the 7 thunders, as God thundered His Way through history by using the voices of His prophets.
God called forth His nation Israel, taking her into the Egyptian empirical rule of the devil to show His people that without Him, they are nothing but slaves of this world. It was there He raised up the 3rdvoice of thunder as that of a deliverer called Moses who was in a face to face relationship with the Lord God, the great I AM. Moses was called to deliver the nation of God’s people out of the first satanic empire and into the covenant Land promised to Abraham.
It was all a shadow and type of the rainbow remembrance in the cloud (Genesis 9:16), but now the rainbow moved into the cloud over the ark of the covenant seen not as broken light, but rather as a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. Here dwelt the pre-incarnate Jesus who would one day deliver the house of Israel to the kingdom instead of delivering the nation Israel to the Land.
Moses was the prophet of the Law who introduced the substance manna to Israel, weighed out daily in omers as food to sustain the people who now had the covenant of the Law by which they agreed to further unite themselves in covenant with God. In point of fact, Israel would actually play the harlot, and eventually break covenant with God to be driven from the Land. They would rather be like other men and have the empire rule of Satan over them with their own king (John 19:15).
God would comply with their wishes, but He made it clear that His throne would only go to a Man-King of His choice and inheritance who would come from the line of David. And so with the 4th covenant promise, the 4th voice of the prophet David thundered on the scene killing the giant, a descendent of those spiritual giants of Genesis (chapter 6) who infected the human race as they spiritually entered into man to produce the terror, violence and crime that came about in the days of Noah.
From David’s line of Judah would come the long awaited Messiah of Israel, the Lion of Judah called Jesus who would be much more than a national Messiah. He would be the Savior of believers from all nations of the world, some of whom He would collect and bring into His land of the West, separated from the East by the sea, a land called America, over which He would once again rule, as God had ruled over Israel, after her exodus from Egypt.
He would defeat the antichrist ruler of this world as the 5th thundering voice of the prophet in whom there was again a covenant change as there was with David, who brought forth the throne of man to be joined to the throne of God. Jesus was the rainbow fulfillment of the Noahic covenant as the broken light on the cross of salvation. He made His covenant with His church in the communion of eating the bread of life in place of the manna and of offering His blood, which was shed for you and me as drink. For our blood has no life in it because of the curse upon man. This was the pivotal point in history; He became the Way to the kingdom.
It was time for Jesus to build His church on the solid rock foundation of the truth of the gospels. The apostles were His only required stones for a foundation built without the cut stones by the hands of the servants of the King of Tyre, or of any other king of this world, who cut stones for temples for the pagan gods of pagan religions. This church of Christ needed no buildings to worship in spirit and in truth. No worldly priests, but the High Priest Himself, would build the foundation for Jesus’ church set on its apostolic roots. And of this church He said that the gates of Hades would not prevail against it. For this church of Christ was on the Way to the kingdom.
And so as Jesus sent out His apostles in His Spirit, reborn again of the Spirit of life in truth only, He sent forth the 6th thunder, only to have the 6th empire of Satan, the final empire of the Babylonian system of empires shown to Daniel, the Early Roman Empire, take the church captive. It did so in the same manner as Egypt took Israel into the satanic captivity of Pharaoh’s empire government and its idolatrous, religious system. But the Roman Empire was failing, and it would be up to the religious system to keep it alive throughout the church age of Christianity.
And so the religion of Christianity was established by the empire ruler of Satan, called Constantine, who built what he called the Christian church giving religious authority to the pagan high priest of Rome, who would become its first pope. Constantine blended religion with the church of the apostles, which then fell under the power of the Nicolaitan system. From that day until this it has been called the Christian Church, but it is not one and the same as the apostolic church founded by Jesus on a solid rock foundation of only truth. Religion was mixed with the true church, which has remained captive to a religious system to this day. But it, too, will have to make its exodus and come out of her, Babylon the Great, mother of all harlots.
To this day, Christianity has been the glue holding the early leg of the empire to the latter-day leg of the Revived Roman Empire, now in the process of reviving itself as a One World Order, the goal of every empire and emperor who has ever lived. It will be from out of this religious system, which the latter day church must make its exodus, as did Israel from Egypt, to be established as the final and 7th prophetic voice of the bride, which will complete the 7 thunders.
The bride will emerge spotless and pure and ready for her Bridegroom. The mysteries of God will be complete with the heavens being rolled up like a scroll of Scripture As surely as the governments of this world are judged and go down, so too will the religion of Christianity, for it is only the apostolic revived church, against which the gates of Hades will not prevail.
Not the manna, but the Word of God made flesh would deliver and fulfill the covenant made with Noah, Abraham, Moses, David and finally through Jesus and His two separate branches of the one apostolic church, which was captive like Israel, but never divided by denominations. That was the religious work of the devil creating religious doctrines in place of the one doctrine of truth, the truth of the gospels and the teaching of Jesus who entrusted the gospel teaching to His apostles and never to a religious priesthood.
Paul is the example of one who, in order to come into the light, needed to have a strong encounter with the Lord (Acts 9:3) who then removed the scales of religion from his eyes (Acts 9:18). They had kept him blinded from the truth of who Jesus really was and is, as He lives to this day and eternally. Paul never returned again to the religious system.
His 7th day omer – the one stored up on the 6th day, to be kept overnight until the dawn of the 7th day, represents that long period of weeks of days between the 69th and the 70th week, that unrevealed period of time, involving the church age captivity to Rome, when Christianity took on a religious, economic and governmental role, the number 666 of man and of the beast.
The so-called church became transformed into a political, empire entity, until Martin Luther began the break-up, but did not complete it, any more than Israel drove all of the Canaanites out of the Land. There is a Gaza Strip between Israel and the West to prove it, and it is still causing trouble for Israel to this day. The true house of Israel is not safely back in the land yet.
The bride, the church, who has a right to the new King’s town, the New Jerusalem, will come out of her, Babylon the Great, mother of all harlots (Revelation 18:4) for the Roman Empire is not dead yet. It is still very much alive, as long as there is a Vatican moving the world quickly back toward a One World religion in readiness for the last leg of the last empire of Babylon to rise again. It is Mother Rome’s aim to have a One World Order of religion, government and economic world trade. This is at the heart of the beast to rebuild that tower begun in Babel (Genesis 11) and destroyed by God to form nations, which in division would make room for a nation under His rule over His people.
All the violence today is a result of the same rebellion caused by the serpent when Adam and Eve rejected the truth for its lies of religion and progressive liberalism from God. He saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, that every intent of the thoughts of his heart were only evil continually. The earth was filled with violence in the days of Noah, and, as it was in those days, so shall it be today. Satan knows his days are numbered for putting in place his desired One World Order, before the fire judgment falls, in the same way as the rains suddenly began to fall.
It was believed that the United Nations was about to take jurisdiction over the laws governing America through Obama and Hillary, that deadly pair bent on turning America over to a common world rule. The liberal establishment of all political parties is still reeling from what it believed could never happen. It has been faced with a government over which Donald Trump has become President.
He has simply advised the establishment to not be too quick in judgment. “It is not over until it is over.” There is going to be time for a revival, whether or not he knows it any more than Cyrus knew it when he sent Nehemiah off to Jerusalem to build a wall. President Trump was sent to Washington to build a wall.
The Lord is coming for a pure bride and He will accept no less from His church. The Lord, and not Christianity, is leading the Way for her to prepare the Way for others. And she will make the last call to make straight the Way for the Lord; for there is no longer time for religious, empire detours on the broad road to destruction. One could get caught there and never see the Way again.
This last call to come out of her is the final move of the covenant in changing times, in which only Jesus can go ahead to lead the Way. The voice of the bride is the voice for the Kingfisher of men and the one responsible for the 7th thunder. It is a time for the latter-day apostolic church to make the big catch with her nets, which the early apostles could not do without Jesus telling them where to cast their nets, thus leading them to the fish.
Seventy weeks are determined for your people and for your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sins, to make reconciliation for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Most Holy.
Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the command to restore and build Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince, there shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublesome times (Daniel 9:24-25).
Today’s news is nothing but yesterday’s Bible headlines given as a testimony of Jesus in the spirit of prophecy (Revelation 19:10). It is, and always has been, all about Him – Noah’s Ark of salvation with the sign of the rainbow, the covenant with Abraham and the promise of a land as the father of many nations, the end of the Egyptian Empire and the deliverance of Moses for a people to be placed under the Law of God and fed omers of manna in the wilderness, to the throne of David and the inheritance of His Son, Jesus, through the woman, to the early apostolic church and finally to the coming forth of the bride of the revived apostolic church. All have always been about the Kingfisher of men and His fishers of men, as is everything, which is happening in the world today. Herein is heard the voice of the Lord in His 7 thunders.
Take and eat His body, which was broken for you and me. For He is the bread of life and there was one omer of manna set aside before the Testimony, to be kept as a symbol of the new covenant between Jesus and His church.
Then Moses said, ”This is the thing which the Lord has commanded: ‘Fill an omer with it, to be kept for your generations, that they may see the bread with which I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.’”
And Moses said to Aaron, “Take a pot and put an omer of manna in it, and lay it up before the Lord, to be kept for your generations.” As the Lord commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
And the children of Israel ate manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land; they ate manna until they came to the border of the land of Canaan. Now an omer is one-tenth of an ephah (Exodus 16:32-36).
Note that Abraham, upon meeting Melchizedek, gave a tithe of all (Genesis 14:20) but he had raised his hands to the Lord refusing to take anything from the enemy (Genesis 14:23). What Abraham actually gave as a tithe of all, was himself, for he had taken nothing as the spoils of war. He gave himself for that was all he had. God does not want our substances, such as manna, for it buys nothing but death. The legalism of such a tithe is exactly that. He wants us and it is to His Son, Jesus, that He wants us to give ourselves. That is the nature of man as a bride submitted to her husband.
America, take note of the true role of the church! It is to be submitted only to the Lord God, Ruler over the land. She has a legitimate place with the throne of government as the bride of her King to whom she is submitted. Is there separation of church and state? Never in any land where the Word of God rules! They are in a marriage bed meant for the Ruler and King, along with His bride: and the two shall be as one. As for religion – it is to be kept outside the wall surrounding the King’s city. The enemy will call foul and will cry for their religious rights but the Word of the Lord has this to say, and He does not speak politically correct garble. He speaks only truth as does His true church, the bride.
‘One ordinance shall be for you of the congregation and for the stranger who sojourns with you, an ordinance forever throughout your generations; as you are, so shall the stranger be before the Lord. One law and one custom shall be for you and for the stranger who sojourns with you (Numbers 15:15-16).”
Nothing could be clearer regarding today’s rioting in the streets and the correctness of extreme vetting. The problem is it must be extreme and that means religion is the dividing point of separation from the truth. Unless one can swear allegiance to God on God’s Word and to country, forsaking that country from which one has departed, one has no right or rights owed to him by this nation. It all goes back to the understanding of what the omer of manna meant to the covenant of God with the people of Israel and what it means to us in prophecy, the prophecy of the headlines for today. The testimony of prophecy has its portion in the news of today.
What is the bottom line? It is found in the words of Jesus Himself as quoted by John, His apostle:
“My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work (John 4:34).”
“For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words (John 5:46-47)?”
“I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead. This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world ….. Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me.
This is the bread which came down from heaven–not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever (John 6:48–58).”
How can one place such a magnificent life culture beside a death culture of any sort or kind? It is like placing the ark of the covenant beside the wooden god, Dagon. What you have here is deadly multiculturalism, with the leaven of religion growing to puff up the entire loaf. That is what we are witnessing in the streets of America today. It is the growth of the religious cults trying to get rid of a life culture, in order to fill the entire nation with leaven, which will ultimately destroy the very constitutional foundation of this nation. That is the nature of religious leaven.
So the 7th thunder is the last voice of the prophets who were heard with each new move of the covenant. It will be that of the bride of Christ, calling for the last exodus for God’s people of the house of Israel, as the pure church comes out of her, Babylon the Great, free for-ever-more from man’s compromised position in the religions of Satan, within the empires of this world, which man first embraced in the Garden. The bride will return to her apostolic roots of the early church founded on the stone foundation of truth, ready, at last, to enter into the kingdom.
Jesus never established a religion of Christianity. He said He is the Son of God, and God is a God of truth, not of religion. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life; He is not the broad road, religion and the destruction leading to death. He removed His early church from it, saying that the Pharisees’ father was the devil and He will do no less for His revived apostolic church, and a priesthood holding it captive to the same devil. This is His final westward move out of the East and eastern religion, as the sun sets on a world about to be judged.
