Voice of the Kingfisher speaks out …from a different perspective

Our past follows us as the shadow of either a friendly or threatening companion of the future. The foundations, which we have set in place, will determine whether or not we will stand or fall in the storms of life. Nations established on a firm foundation will weather the ravages of the storms to come. Those nations established on shifting sands will shift, become weakened and eventually crumble as they are washed out to sea in the destruction.
There is but one firm foundation for any nation, and it is God and His truth. Take it away and you will be left standing on the shifting sands of religious cults. It is called multiculturalism. God gives man and nations the free will to choose their own destinies. Do we really want religious idols in our lives and pagan cultures within our nation?
The first commandment of God clearly answers this question. “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me (Exodus 20:2-3).” If the constitution of Canada established God as having dominion from sea to sea, are we not an abomination in His sight for having established pagan gods in this land along side of Him, as though they could ever be His equal?
We in America are in covenant with God. In order to understand that covenant, we must go back to Genesis and the promise God made with the one righteous man saved from the judgment of the flood, along with his sons and all the beasts of the earth that came off the ark. Now, many will question this statement in so far as they do not believe the validity of the Bible. The only reason for such disbelief lies always in the fact that the doubter does not know his/her Bible and, in all likelihood, has not read it. If, after having read it, he still doubts it, then it should follow that it is because he has no knowledge of the prophecy inherent in every word.
No other book on the face of this earth has such prophecy, which only can be placed there by the Spirit of God writing with each and every author of each and every one of its sixty-six books. No one man can lay claim to having written the Bible. It was written through the ages by many men led by the guiding hand of the Spirit. It is our Spirit-filled guide, which leads us to Jesus in truth. He said of Himself that He was the Word made flesh and that He was the way, the truth and the life. There is no other way out of this world and back to God and His kingdom.
God made His covenant with man through Noah after the judgment of the flood, promising He would never again destroy him from the face of the earth by another flood. He had demonstrated the power of the seawaters over evil men as the covering of evil. God tells us that the beast resides there, for it is seen rising up out of the sea in the book of Revelation 13:1. This is what destroys mankind, not God. He merely releases the power of evil from out of the seawater to destroy those people and nations, which choose to live with the evil, instead of righteousness.
However, in spite of Adam and Eve’s sin, God, in His mercy, still made a way to save mankind from himself. It is a promise in the form of a covenant. A covenant requires two to be in agreement. God’s covenant is no different. Our choice is to accept it in partnership with life or reject it in order to partner with death. The covenant is binding according to God’s Law in conjunction with our choices. His covenant promise incorporates the blessing and the curse of the first promise to Adam and Eve.
The message at the heart of the Adamic covenant was a promise of life; Adam, in turn, was required to live by God’s truth and obey His Word as His established plan for His ruler-ship over man. He stated that if Adam were to go another route and reject this plan in disobedience, then he would surely die. This is the deadly trap set before mankind.
Because God wants man for Himself, it can only happen if he chooses God in His goodness instead of Satan in wickedness. To choose the forbidden fruit of the world, which is the source of evil, means loss of kingdom inheritance as co-ruler with the Lord here on earth. In fact, it means loss of relationship entirely with God and a sentence of death for man as he is returned to the dust whence he came.
After a seven-day week of creation and rest, in which God took the dust of the earth to turn it into man, a living, breathing, human being, with the Spirit of life within him, he chose to sin against God by rejecting His plan. Then, would follow a seven millennia correction program, in which some would be redeemed for kingdom living in a restored relationship between God and man.
God knows our choices before we make them. So, together, we are going to get this nasty work of Satan out of the way before God offers His marriage bed to His bride of mankind within His kingdom. There will be zero tolerance for evil, wars or suffering; there will only be peace in His regime. He is sifting the harlotry of man from the face of this earth and returning to dust those who reject Him for the author of lies by rejecting the truth for religion.
As a nation, God blessed the people of Israel with His protection and love to show the world how His plan would work. He entrusted the Law and the truth of the Word to that nation so that they would witness to His truth giving all the glory to Him. Israel played the harlot with Him and she rejected Him at every turn of the way back to kingdom-type living in a land situated in the former Garden of Eden. It was called the Promised Land.
When Israel ignored the warnings by continuing to break covenant with God, He drove her out of the Land in the same way Adam and Eve broke covenant and were driven from the Garden long before the nation. Both had rejected His government plan to embrace one tied to religious idolatry, and both rejected Him for the prince of this world, forsaking truth and life for religion and death. Israel was a repeat performance of Adam and Eve on the same piece of property.
So God sent His Son and Redeemer to earth in a new covenant plan for the entire world, which actually was a continuation of the plan, which was from the beginning when He closed off the Garden from man on the east side. It would henceforth only re-open when His Son Jesus would lead His redeemed house of Israel back through the east gate, upon His return to rule over this entire earth in a kingdom where the evil seducer would be chained.
His church of the spiritual nation is that group of overcomers who have chosen the truth instead of the lie. It is the lie that has produced liberalism from God in religion whereby man worships self more than God and believes himself to have the power of life from within, instead of receiving his power from God. It is called the principle of New Age thinking, which underlies the liberalism of today.
Where does America fit into God’s plan? She is the wilderness in God’s spiritual readjustment for the world in which the prophecy of the exodus of the nation from Egypt becomes the reality of the spiritual and true exodus of man from the kingdoms of this world into the final kingdom of God. It is in America where He sets up His tabernacle plan just as He set up His tabernacle plan in the wilderness between Egypt and the Promised Land. America is the West, between the religious gentile nations of the East and the coming kingdom here on earth.
This nation is the wilderness being used for preparation time for the church to become established and purified before kingdom living at the time of the Lord’s Second Coming. America and the institutional church are in the process of failing just as Israel and the temple failed. But the tabernacle plan and the Law will not fail and the true church, like Caleb under the leadership of Joshua, will enter the kingdom as Jesus and His bride, faithful and obedient to the end. All that remains is the purification. The true church must, and will, come out of all religious harlotry to stand safely on the foundation of truth, which leaves no room for the lies of religion that deny the Word.
This is the time of the greatest deception of man that there ever has been in all of history. Only those who stand on truth will survive. The true church and last prophetic voice of the Lord God will thunder and shake the earth as the last voice of His bride and final 144,000 witnesses to the truth, who will speak like the prophets of old. They stand in the spirit of Moses and Elijah, the two voices, which shook Israel. One led her out of the world of religious captivity and the other smoked Satan out of that body of Hebrew people God called His nation, Israel. You cannot make the exodus from this world without first forcing the exodus of Satan from your life and from the spiritual nation of Israel.
Wake up, America, for the hour of decision is at hand! Is it God or Satan with whom you want to ultimately spend eternity? The decision has always been yours and the time is now to make that choice. It is as though you are in the final exams and the mark you receive now will be the final mark – a passing perfect mark of 777, or that of the failing mark of 666.
The question for all of America at this time of the Winter Olympic Games in Canada is not “Do you believe?”, but rather “What is it that you believe?” Satan will offer you a multitude of religious belief systems within multiculturalism. God offers only His Son, the truth of the Word made flesh.
“And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life (John 3:14-15).”
