Voice of the Kingfisher speaks out …from a different perspective

The Lip Service of Chrislam
February 09, 2011
Thank God for the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, which have proved the traditional Christian priesthood, in many cases, have lying lips. This book called the Bible has survived over the centuries, as intact today as it was yesterday. Time has not changed it, though man continues to water down its meaning with modern translations.
The Dead Sea Scrolls have preserved for us the book of the prophet Isaiah, parts of which I have been privileged to see for myself. He was a prophet who had much to say about the situation today and for that of the nation of yesterday. Traditional religion has always been at the heart of Israel and spiritual Israel’s problem.
In chapter 29, Isaiah sees the day when Jerusalem will be a city under attack from all around. This is not by chance, but rather it is a result of her attitude toward God, for which she is being punished. This city was chosen to receive the blessing of kings, yet Israel fought God all the way from Egypt to the Promised Land, rejecting both Him and His Law. She loved the land and its gods, which she left behind, more than she loved God. She preferred to trust in Egypt, as opposed to trusting in God.
What is it with man that he rejects the good of God in order to embrace evil? We simply cannot resist the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Isaiah declares that the multitude of all nations shall come against the city of Jerusalem.
Certainly Obama has done his best to help bring the Isaiah prophecy to fruition, as he turns American support away from the nation Israel to send dollars down to Egypt in support of her armies. What is at the heart of the problem? Isaiah tells us that God’s people are as blind men who stagger around without a vision. The whole vision has become to her like the words of a book that is sealed (see Isaiah 29:11).
In truth, America has closed the Bible and academia has become our secular priesthood, which fills the traditional religious pulpits; whether Christian or atheist, there is very little difference. None of them has any real understanding, for they are Bible illiterates and intoxicated with 100% religious-proof doctrine.
Isaiah described the situation, which applies especially in America today; “Inasmuch as these people draw near to Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but have removed their hearts far from Me, and their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men, therefore, behold, I will again do a marvelous work among this people, a marvelous work and a wonder; for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden (Isaiah 29:13-14).”
I believe that there is a blessing hidden away in his words, which tell us that we are not going to have to listen to the foolishness of men, like Richard Dawkins, much longer along with our highly esteemed Harvard men, such as Obama. The whole lot of them have turned God around and esteemed the Potter as the clay. According to Isaiah, our so-called ‘bright lights’ have no understanding because the book of truth has been sealed to them. So they ramble on with their own man-made philosophies.
But the truth is, in their place, the cedars of Lebanon are going to be turned into fruitful trees to be esteemed as a forest, and the house of David shall grow like a forest as spiritual Zion rises out of the ashes of the natural destruction of Jerusalem. The terrible one, and author of the antichrist spirit, is going to be brought to nothing, while, at the same time, the true apostolic church (Jerusalem) will rise up out of the ashes of Christianity. The fact is stated clearly that those who formerly erred in spirit will come to understanding and those who murmured against the Lord and His elect will learn doctrine, which will force them to drop their man-made philosophies.
Isaiah addresses his message to God’s rebellious children of America today, rather than to the defunct nation of Israel, which has received counsel but not from God. Her people have devised plans, but the Book is closed and they are not of the Lord’s Spirit. They have multiplied sin, adding sin upon sin, including allying themselves with Egypt. Take a look at the Egypt to which American dollars have been pouring from the same people of America who are being robbed of their life savings to hand them over to Islamic countries, all of which are now religious pots of burning-over malcontent.
Certainly God never advised us to do business with Egypt; in fact He advised to the contrary. It has been money thrown away when we should have been developing our own jobs and resources in this country. Leaders like Obama have caused this nation to trust in Egypt and Pharaoh instead of in God and, to this degree, it has become the shame of America. We have cemented ties with countries that carry out inhuman acts against humanity in the name of Allah or other gods, which has become the source of our shame and reproach (see Isaiah 30:1-5).
What a foolish people Americans now are! They are a rebellious people of lying children, none of whom can lie better than Obama, himself. Isaiah is told by the Lord God that this message could be for a time to come when the people do not want to hear anything about the Laws of the Lord. They do not want to listen to the words of the real prophets who prophesy right things. They love the Rick Warrens and the Joel Osteens, who smile their way through their smooth talk of nothingness, while teaching deceits. Daily, these smooth talking religious men lead many from the Way, which leads to the kingdom.
All of this is because America has come to despise the Word. We have not allowed our children to know it as the truth. Instead, we have opened the door to sin ‘big time’ in the classrooms where every manner of perverted sex is endorsed and children are taught marriage is for the Adams and Steves instead of Adam and Eve. Of course, it is as it was in the days of Noah – Sodom is here with us again just before the final judgment is about to fall. America is like a breach ready to fall, a bulge in a high wall (Isaiah 30:13) .Therefore this iniquity will be charged to her.
These are not my words; they are those of the prophet Isaiah, written some 2800 years ago and can still be found intact within the Dead Sea Scrolls. The words tell us the break comes suddenly, within an instant. The financial collapse is at our very door and the breaking shall be like that of the potter’s vessel so that we will know exactly who the Potter is and who is the clay. It shall be a complete destruction; the time for reshaping is over.
But not so, on every high mountain and every high hill – there will be rivers and streams of water in the day of the great slaughter when the towers fall (see Isaiah, chapter 30). The Lord will cause His glorious voice to be heard. He will raise up a people to be His voice to the nation, like the voice of the prophets of old.
Wake up, America, to the lip service you have been enduring from our leaders and from our pulpits. Jesus used this passage of Isaiah to accuse the scribes and Pharisees of their religious traditions, calling them exactly what they were – the same thing our re-writers of the Law and religious leaders are today – “Hypocrites!” (see Matthew 15:7-9). “Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man (Matthew 15:11).”
In the same manner as Jesus had to face the religious crew and the lawyers of His day, we, too, are dealing with blind leaders of the blind, as we face ours today. “And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch (Matthew 15:14).” Jesus could not have drawn a better picture of America today with His description of that which is coming out of our mouths as coming from our hearts and out of our hearts are pouring evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies (see Matthew 15:16-20).
Jesus pretty well covered the face of America today, which has been led into this mess by the traditional Christian priesthood and Christian lawmakers, our modern-day Pharisees and scribes who have been practicing nothing more than lip service, having a commitment to a closed Bible and the spread of religion instead of truth. There actually is a new name sprouting up to describe a part of this move; it is called Chrislam and Christian leaders in the United States are calling for Korans to be placed in the pews beside that Holy Book called the Bible.
Is it any wonder Isaiah says, Behold, the name of the Lord comes from afar, burning with His anger, and His burden is heavy; His lips are full of indignation, and His tongue like a devouring fire (Isaiah 30:27). Get ready, my friend, for the sifting of the nation. You are going to desperately wish you had never closed the one and only book of truth, called the Bible, to our children. For the day we did that terrible deed, we stole their future from them, and the future of the nation.
