Voice of the Kingfisher speaks out …from a different perspective

When the Enemy Comes in like a Flood
November 03, 2011
When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him (Isaiah 59:19). I ask you to take a good look around you to see if you notice an increase in world-wide violence and terror. Are there rumors and threats of war? Are there world-wide demonstrations against government leaders, and are the financial systems of nations not in danger of crumbling as they go into debt far beyond the resources of their people?
Who could even question whether or not we are in a period of world-wide decline, a time when the enemy of a good, peaceful and perfect creation under God is about to set up his One World Order, which will see the greatest demonstration of evil, this world has ever known. Man has always been willing to believe evolution. Now, he will have evidence of ‘devilution’ when the human being, created in the Spirit of life, will demonstrate his true nature under his animal skin covering, which became a sign after his rejection of God with the sin of rebellion.
He will display the beastly nature of the animal he became, as a son of the beast (the devil) in sin. Man did not come from the beast; he chose to become like the beast, the sort we see trampling Wall Street with filthy language, defecating on the streets, and dumping their garbage and litter in clean parks or wherever it pleases them. Hardly a whimper about this action has been heard from the church – the so-called church, which stands for nothing. Its name is Laodicea.
“As for Me,” says the Lord, “this is My covenant with them: My Spirit who is upon you, and My words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your descendants, nor from the mouth of your descendants’ descendants,” says the Lord, “from this time and forevermore (Isaiah 59:21).”
Where is that voice of God’s people who belong in the covenant of God with man? One has to look back in history to find it and the Bible is the only record of such a history, for it is His story and it belongs to no other god. It is the light-covenant-throne history, which begins with a marriage made in heaven between God and man at creation. The process begins with the words, “Let there be light”, for it is only light, which is able to dispel the darkness, which can be dispelled by no other means.
It may surprise this wicked world to know that Jesus is that Light of the world. He is the way for Garden living, the truth of history, and the giver of life by His Spirit. He is the way, the truth and the life and no one will be a part of God’s kingdom without Him. The church is to be His voice for light and truth, as was Aaron to be the prophet and voice for Moses. This is a blessing bestowed upon her, His bride, which could never come from either Judaism or the Romanism of Christianity.
As are all religious systems, they are opened to the gates of hell, which will prevail against them. For they share in the religious harlotry of the mother of all harlots – the religious empires of the Babylonian system, the last of which is presently rising up as the Revived Roman Empire. It will usher in the darkest period of all of the empires by blotting out the sun, with darkness covering the earth in a One World Order of the religious, governmental and financial systems.
We are witnessing the beginning of dark days when the so-called inerrant pope has called for the entire world to submit to a one-world religious system and a single, central banking system. He has blessed the unity of Islam and Christianity, while leading the millions of the religiously deceived, deeper and deeper into the deception, and all done in the name of Christ.
Don’t for a minute think Jesus is either slumbering or sleeping. He is about to make a great move upon His church. If you believe that Pentecost rocked the world, then this coming move will see mountains fall and islands disappear into the sea. If you have not already fastened your seatbelts, then you had better do so now, rather than later. If you are glued to those pews of religion, you had better get unglued and do so quickly, for after the crumbling of the entire Christian religious system, it will disappear as the harlot riding the beast all the way to the bottom of the sea.
God made His marriage vows with His people, when He delivered the Law to Moses, who was like God. He declared His people to be His with the Ten Commandments, which the people all agreed to accept as the covenant between them and God. They promised to keep their marriage vows.
If the people kept their marriage vows, their relationship with God would be a blessed one. If the people were to run after the gods of religion, it would become a curse to them, as did Judaism curse Israel and now Christianity is cursing America. She has already begun the dismantling of the cross for the sake of unity of religion.
There is a simple response to all of this, which is going to be heard soon by the religious harlots when Jesus tells them that He never knew them. We look for light, but there is darkness! For brightness, but we walk in blackness! We look for justice, but there is none. For truth is fallen in the street. So truth fails (see Isaiah 59:9-15).
The time has come for the true church, against which the gates of hell cannot prevail, to come out of the tomb of religion, as did Lazarus come out of the tomb of death. It is time to come forth as the voice she was always called to be, before being taken captive in her own Egypt of religion, which has enslaved her for centuries. She is to reflect the light of Jesus, as the face of Moses reflected the light of God.
She cannot have a relationship with Jesus without wanting to shout truth from the roof-top, for she is carrying the covenant of marriage in her heart and clings to her beloved Jesus. He is the only One who can fulfill the Law for both of them so she can be deemed a righteous partner of the marriage between God and man.
“Arise, shine; for your light has come!
The Lord will arise over you,
The gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.
Whereas you have been forsaken and hated, so that no one went through you, I will make you an eternal excellence, a joy of many generations.
Violence shall no longer be heard in your land, neither wasting nor destruction within your borders; but you shall call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise.
But the Lord will be to you an everlasting light.
Also your people shall all be righteous; they shall inherit the land forever, the branch of My planting, the work of My hands, that I may be glorified (see Isaiah, chapter 60).”
In the day of vengeance of our God;
That they may be called trees of righteousness.
And they shall rebuild the old ruins, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the ruined cities, the desolations of many generations.
But you shall be named the Priests of the Lord, men shall call you the Servants of our God.
I will direct their work in truth (see Isaiah, chapter 61).
Isaiah is prophesying, in so far as he is pointing to the voice of the bride being in covenant with Jesus. She is called to witness with Him, under the influence of the Spirit, as the Spirit and the bride make the last call of history for the Fisher of men, the Kingfisher (see Revelation 22:17). Daniel prophesied of her centuries ago in the book of Daniel at the time when he went into the lions’ den, and came out untouched by the beasts.
His friends of history faced the fire judgment at the same time, but it had no power over the righteous trio representing the prophets, apostles and the bride, the three friends who will make up the true house of Israel walking with One having the appearance of Jesus in the fire, as the covenant keepers of their marriage vows before God. They are the priests who carry the spiritual symbol of the marriage covenant through the evil empire rivers of this world to finally see the Lord God part them and allow them to escape the captivity of death and enter into the kingdom of the free and the liberated under God’s rule.
The Law was carried in the arc of the covenant, giving God’s people victory over the enemy. Satan hates the Law and the truth, for he has no power over those who keep their marriage vows, as did America at one time, but now she has succumbed to the religion of the devil. However, there is good news as the book of Isaiah draws to a close.
“For as the new heavens and the new earth which I will make shall remain before Me,” says the Lord, “so shall your descendants and your name remain. And it shall come to pass that from one New Moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, all flesh shall come to worship before Me,” says the Lord. “And they shall go forth and look upon the corpses of the men who have transgressed against Me. For their worm does not die, and their fire is not quenched. They shall be an abhorrence to all flesh (Isaiah 66:22-24).”
And so you have before you, in the writing of history, the blessing and the curse of the marriage covenant between God and man. It has always been the Law, and it always will be the Law. Only those who escape from the fire – the prophets, the apostles and the bride, along with those who have ears to hear what the Spirit and the bride are saying and apply Jesus to their lives, will escape the gates of hell and Hades. These are the overcomers with the Lamb who safely make the journey through the wilderness of world history without bowing to the religious idols and lures of Satan. The Lord will make the New Jerusalem (the bride) an eternal excellence, a joy of many generations (see Isaiah 60:15).
