Foreword

The Holy Scriptures long ago foretold of a time when the wrath and judgment of The God of Israel would be released upon the world. It is defined as a time of great peril and affliction for mankind as even the sun above refuses to shine. In fact, the Bible predicts it will be a time of great lack where food is scarce, but violence is not. At the same time, mega quakes are predicted to shake the earth while the sea rises against the coastal cities thereof. Needless to say, by the end of the day, mass numbers of the world’s occupants will have passed away and many nations will be in a state of total disarray. Nevertheless, the Bible addresses all these intense sorrows as labor pains and explains that the earth will give birth to a brand new day. For the most part, the Christian church has long represented that they will depart before the start of this time of trouble, and hold to a doctrine of escape. But could the Christian churches’ history of anti-Semitic hate delay this proposed escape? Or could the current anti-Israel policies proposed by those in leadership actually be the reason behind such a drastic shift in season from mercy to that of judgment?

This book will not only expose those who propose the division of the Jewish homeland, but will further explain why this modern day anti-Semitic act will enact the day of God’s new zeal for His nation and people of Israel. After we debunk some of these Christian end time teachings, we will next launch out to explore a far off distant shore. Divinely positioned and commissioned to become a refuge from the storm, New Zealand is first warned to turn away from the same political policies which have brought us to the beginning of these dark days. Biblically defined as the last place on earth to be the first to turn away from the curse of dividing Israel’s land, New Zealand has thus been promised to be covered by the Lord’s hand. This secret place will then become the personification of grace as Adonai turns His face to the Jewish race. A mighty move of God’s healing power will there begin at the end of the earth, and will work its way back home through the troubled zones of the Middle East. By the end of this book, I guarantee you will certainly never look at eschatology the same, and will most assuredly feel New Zeal for The God of Israel.

Dedication

I want to dedicate this book to my wife, Tricia Dawn, for 26 years of love, support, and friendship. Thanks for giving me your life and also for giving me two beautiful children.

Chapter 1

Down Low

It seemed as if my whole world had crashed in around me and I finally broke down. For the next three hours I was not able to stop weeping. I tried to get myself composed, yet wave after wave of sorrow repeatedly covered my soul. Then, from the depths of my inner man, I heard the Lord speak to me two words that would forever change my life. Those two words were “New Zealand”.

I was driving home from my new ranch in Oklahoma as my mind began to recall all the bad things which seemed to be coming one after the other. I began to think back about my life two short years prior when the anointing of the Lord was so evident in my life. It was a time when I was prospering greatly in just about all areas. The Lord had given me a successful goat trading business and had supernaturally brought me out from under a large debt burden. My wife and I both were on fire for the things of God and were even teaching and leading others in His ways. Both of our kids were prospering in high school and it seemed to be one of the best times of our lives. Then one morning on my daily walk with the Lord, He quietly said to me, “Sell this ranch”.

Surely I had heard wrong, I thought, so I simply tried to ignore this word. Yet day after day, the same phrase kept coming back to me. Then it started. All hell seemed to break loose in my life. As divinely as it all began, my goat business likewise came to a halt. In the three years prior, God had so blessed my operation that I had sold over two million dollars worth of goats. There were times when I had three different buyers waiting in line at my place to buy goats. Suddenly it all came to a standstill and the phone stopped ringing. However, I stubbornly kept buying the large number of goats which I normally could sell per week. After a few months I was overrun with large numbers of goats which likewise seemed to be unusually sick and problematic. Next, the coyotes came and began to nightly reduce the numbers which I had rebelliously continued to increase. The few buyers that did come seemed to be extremely picky and increasingly harder to deal with. My prayer life turned into more of complaint secession and my faith declarations seemed to have little effect any more.

All these scenarios were pouring out of me now as I drove between my new Oklahoma ranch which I had bought after selling the ranch in Texas which God had forced me to do. After totally giving up on goat trading, I had assumed that God wanted me to go into the cattle industry. After a quick sell and a 1031 tax deferred exchange, I found myself in central Oklahoma hoping to regain the anointing of the Lord upon my ranching efforts. However, even with a new start in Oklahoma, the same catastrophes seemed to plague me.

As I drove back to Texas, where my wife and daughter were still living so that she could finish her last year in high school, it hit me in profound reality that God was still against me. Week after week, more cattle were dying from freakish circumstances. Even those calves that I was able to sell did not bring a decent price. To make matters worse, Oklahoma (seemingly since my arrival) was experiencing unusually dramatic weather patterns and the worst drought on record. Then, my dad (who was helping me run the ranch) had a 4-wheeler accident and broke his knee. Driving home that day from Oklahoma, I began to cry before the Lord. I did not understand why all these things were happening to me. Are you mad at me God? Why are you not helping me anymore? Why will it not rain? Why have you turned against me? Am I out of your will?

These and many more questions began to pour out of my soul until my questions eventually turned into a bitter weeping. I was having trouble seeing the road at times, but I had to get back to Texas and fix more problems there. Then all the events which had forced my move to Oklahoma also began to come into my weary mind. A terrible personal attack against my family and my ensuing responses which had brought a huge amount of public attention and rumor began to come up from the tomb of my soul where I had tried to bury it all. I began to relive a very dramatic court case and so many unanswered prayers of vindication. I began to weep even more bitterly as I thought how God had abandoned me in my greatest hour of need and how my land and even my honor had been stolen from me. Then, in the middle of my brokenness and at the lowest point of my life, it happened. God quietly whispered two amazing words into my spirit which would set a new course for my life: New Zealand.

Zeal

Webster defines the word zeal as having heated passion for an issue, accompanied by strong devotion and fervent eagerness to accomplish some end. The true meaning of this word is sometimes best described within the context of religion. In fact, there have always been zealots in religion; or at least those who are willing to go to extremes for their beliefs. Sometimes this zeal can result in violence, as those in its grip seem to be driven even to the point of excessive action. However, with this zeal one is almost ensured motivation, and therefore greater odds of accomplishment. This heated devotion has long resulted in drastic measures and can even be traced to starting wars. Without zeal our world would be flat and boring, yet with zeal we are always seemingly on edge. Ironically, the Bible claims that the zeal which our Lord now feels for Israel will accomplish the establishment of His kingdom here on earth and bring an end to sin and conflict within.

Isaiah 9:7 “Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.”

But what causes someone to have zeal? Perhaps the ultimate definition for zeal can be revealed in one word: jealousy, and is best seen within the context of family relations. Jealousy is usually secretly hiding inside the relationships between a husband and wife, a father and his daughters, or even between brothers and sisters. The reason zeal is usually there is simply a result of this extreme dedication and love which the individuals feel. This often produces the byproduct of jealousy within these relationships, and is typically experienced stronger from the man’s perspective. It is often this zeal that a man feels for the women in his life that can even result in violence at times. Therefore, this word zeal should be understood to imply a relationship of great heated love and devotion that can result in displays of rage when betrayed or if challenged from outside parties. This feeling of zeal which many men feel for the women in their lives has even caused the gentlest of men to snap into uncontrolled fits of fury and jealousy. With that said, also know that the Bible details a time ahead when our gentle Lord will go into a jealous rage and save His own personal family Israel.

Zechariah 8:12 “Thus saith the Lord of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.”

This book is devoted to the zeal of The God of Israel. I for one am glad that this Jealous God (El Kanah) has gone to such extremes to display His love for me and to rescue me from evil. Still, His heated love goes much further than to just little ole me. It has reached even unto the ends of the earth and to the edge of time. Come with me now to the bottom of the ocean and see a little known place which I believe will become exactly what its name implies: a new land of extreme dedication and devotion. But before we go down to the bottom of the world, let us rise up to get a prophetic view as to why our world is entering into this day of New Zeal for The God of Israel.

The Crooked Road-Map

In 2003, President George W. Bush devised his own humanistic solution to the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict over the covenanted land of Israel and optimistically announced the roadmap for peace plan. In his plan, George proposed Israel give parts of their land to the Palestinian people in exchange for peace and an end to the conflict in that region. On the official U.S. Department of State web page this plan is referred to as “a two state solution to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict” of which the very boundaries of the Holy Land would be changed to include a series of Palestinian States within the State of Israel. Listed on their web page is a quote from the then leader of the free world:

“The roadmap represents a starting point toward achieving the vision of two states, a secure State of Israel and a viable, peaceful, democratic Palestine. It is a framework for progress towards lasting peace and security in the Middle East.” – George W. Bush

By the end of his second term, Bush was successful in creating a democratic State of Palestine out of Israel’s Gaza Strip as thousands of Israelis were forcefully withdrawn from their homes, lands, and businesses. Within months, this new democratic Palestinian State overwhelmingly voted in the terrorist group of Hamas as the leadership of Gaza. As a result, over 10,000 rockets have since been launched from these surrendered lands at (and into) the Israeli public. George’s framework for peace has instead become a framework for disaster, and his land for peace plan has instead become a base of terrorism, and a shame to Bush’s own name. It seems quite obvious (by their own actions) that the Palestinians will never voluntarily live in peace nor recognize the State of Israel’s right of existence. Nevertheless, America today is still promoting Bush’s roadmap agenda and is currently further calling for the surrender of Jerusalem, in addition to the Israeli lands of Judea, Samaria, and the Golan Heights. Israel is again being asked (and now even told) to surrender even more land to these proven terrorists groups of Hamas and Hezbollah which have not even pretended to fulfill their obligations of living in peace with their Jewish neighbors. Under Bush’s roadmap for peace plan the Arab peoples were to gain these precious lands in exchange for simply living in peace with Israel. Since they have openly shown their inability to do such, why should America (or any nation) continue to push for the surrender of more of Israel’s sacred land? As a farmer, let me say that there is simply no way the U.S. State Department can be this oblivious to the truth on the ground. Even a blind man can see that this roadmap for peace plan is a proven failure which has only cost lives and caused chaos for all parties involved, including America. The only real explanation for all this foolishness is that the roadmap for peace plan is evidently crooked (like so many other things which come out of Washington). The real truth about Bush’s roadmap for peace plan is that it is an anti-Semitic attempt to destroy the Jewish State by establishing legal states for the terrorist groups of Hamas and Hezbollah, enabling them to attack the Jews. Furthermore, it is this crooked path that our leaders are now unwilling to discontinue walking down that is causing the self-destruction of my homeland, America. Our nation’s government continues to disguise this stealing of the Israeli livelihood as “a road to peace”. Nonetheless, it has caused nothing but death and destruction for all nations involved. In fact, this roadmap for peace plan was truthfully exposed in the book of Isaiah for what it really is: a path to wasting and destruction. Isaiah also warns that those who go down this crooked road will not have peace themselves.

Isaiah 59:7-8 “Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity: wasting and destruction are in their paths. The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.”

As America leads the world down this crooked road, the Bible says Israel’s God will arise and likewise take a little stroll down the path of destruction. In fact, the day HaShem (The Name) made the covenant giving the land to Abraham and his seed, was when He first came down and took a bloody walk through the broken pieces of Abram’s sacrifice. If America does not do a u-turn off this crooked road and stop dividing Israel’s covenanted land, then we will see an extremely zealous God once again put on His warm up suit of vengeance and personally come down to redeem Zion’s land. Then everyone here in the west will fear and know that He is The God of Israel.

Isaiah 59:17-21 “…and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing and was clad with zeal as a cloak. According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompense to his enemies; to the islands he shall repay recompense. So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him. And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the Lord. As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the Lord.”

Therefore, it is in the context of the roadmap for peace era that we are biblically warned of the Lord’s day of vengeance and a time of zeal being initiated. According to this scripture, the Lord will jealously protect the covenantal rights of Israel to possess the land by personally putting on the garments of vengeance and rolling up His cloak of zeal to smite the nations. In fact, it is here that we are first introduced to the concept of Israel’s Redeemer taking up Elijah’s cloak of zeal, and we are further challenged to realize the promise of God’s glory simultaneously descending upon the eastern region of our world. In this book, we will take an extensively look at this small set of islands in the South Pacific which I believe have a very profound role to fulfill during this day of the Lord’s vengeance which we are now entering. It will be my honor to scripturally reveal to you this distant geographical location which is destined to become the land of New Zeal for The God of Israel.

As grim as the day of the Lord’s vengeance will be, there is scripturally reserved a place for God’s glory that will even shine during these coming difficult times. This certain location is biblically referenced as being “islands in the sea” at the “rising of the sun” which will take up a mantle of zeal and stand with the nation and people of Israel. We are further told that during this time of the Lord’s jealousy, the Redeemer will come to two different parties. First to Zion, which is a term used to represent the kingdom of God in this earth through the Jewish people and the land of Israel. Secondly, we are told that the Redeemer will also come to those who turn away from transgression in Jacob. To date, most nations and churches in our world have supported the idea of a two state solution which has already reduced Israel’s land holdings in half, and now threatens to take away their ancient capital city of Jerusalem. But soon all will see that Israel’s God can be jealous.

Joel 2:18 “Then will the Lord be jealous for his land, and pity his people.”

If history is our best teacher, then the chalk on its board declares that the most effective weapon to destroy the Jewish people is to simply separate them from their Promised Land. Each time the Hebrews have been separated from their land and exiled into foreign nations, ultimately those nations injured and even attempted to annihilate them. Thus, the current plan to reduce Israel’s land holdings should be correctly recognized as another mad attempt to destroy these chosen people. This madness will quickly result in HaShem’s madness, and the day of the Lord’s jealousy will officially begin with catastrophic earthquakes, tsunamis and war. Yet, out of this flood of terrible events which initiates this time of God’s vengeance, we are promised that the Spirit of the Lord will raise up a standard against the enemy. A study of the Hebrew definition for this “raising of the standard” opens the concept that God will provide a safe place for His people to flee to in these coming times of trouble. I believe that place will be New Zealand, and if you read on I will explain this in great depth. But first, to truly understand this coming time of God’s zeal for Israel we are being “roadmapped” into, we must first appreciate the special calling upon His own chosen land, and upon His own chosen people.

The Chosen

From its divine inception, Israel has been unique and unlike any other place on earth. This specific land, in conjunction with these precise Hebrew people, have together been handpicked by the Creator of all heaven and earth for very specific reasons and seasons. Even as the Almighty has ordained the sun, moon and stars in their callings, so too does this land and people of Israel carry the great and fearful responsibility of being God’s chosen lights.

Jeremiah 31:35-36 “Thus saith the Lord, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; the Lord of hosts is his name: If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.”

As sure as the sun gives its rays by day and the moon and stars are called to be bright by night, God has also promised that the nation and people of Israel would likewise shine as His ordained light to the nations. It was therefore this personal decree by the Creator which established both the land and people of Israel. Right down to the exact land boundaries and the precise number of the children of Israel, the Most High has chosen unto Himself this people to be His portion, and this land as His own inheritance. This scripture in Jeremiah also compares Israel with the heavenly lights (which control the oceans and their tides) and warns of troublous times should the nations ever be tempted to extinguish this heavenly created nation of light. Therefore, all of heaven and earth would be well advised to hear and fear this divine announcement.

Deuteronomy 32:1,8-9 “Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth…..When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel. For the Lord’s portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.”

But what does it really mean to be called God’s chosen? As a young boy I remember being inwardly disturbed with the open reality that the Jewish people (as God’s chosen) have been driven to the edge of death and back many times throughout history. “Is this what happens when you surrender your life over to the Lord?” was a repetitive question in my mind. To be real honest, I was a little leery of signing up for such favor and yielding my life over to such a God. None of it seemed to sit well with my insides. Nevertheless, I would surrender my life to The God of Israel, but I remained puzzled about this seemingly mistreatment of His own chosen people. After I gave my life to the Lord and personally began to experience His mercy given to me time and time again, it seemed to magnify my question of why God has dealt so harshly with these, His own chosen seed. Then one day as I was reading the Bible I saw this same question asked which had always been in the back of my mind.

Romans 11:1 “Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.”

It definitely had my attention. Many times I had heard from the pulpit that God had judged His own chosen people and then replaced them with us Christians, but it never did sit right with me, down in my gut. Why would God choose this people if He knew later He would have to destroy them? I mean, He is the all-knowing and all-seeing God, right? No, there had to be more to it than that, and as I read on, it was finally all explained.

Romans 11:7 “What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election obtained it, and the rest were blinded. (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.”

Finally I had found a real man of God in the Apostle Paul who was correctly addressing my old question. In a sense he was saying that God took His chosen people and put them into two groups. A number were elected to see the truth of Messiah, (and Paul was fortunately one of those elected) while the rest were blinded. But not only did HaShem blind them, He also stopped up their ears and gave them a spirit of slumber. Now I don’t know about you, but when a spirit of slumber hits me, it is hard to fight it off. It usually happens in the middle of a really good movie that I want to watch, but end up asleep and asking later, “What happened? How did it end?” Again, we are talking about God’s chosen people Israel here. But what were they chosen for? Paul explained that a few were elected into grace but the rest were chosen to be blinded, deafened, and to fall into a period of slumber. Then he adds to their chosen predicament by adding a few more God ordained traps and obstacles in their way.

Romans 11:9 “And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock…”

It was starting to get very clear to me that God himself destined that Israel should stumble and preordained for them to fall asleep spiritually. But again, why would He do that to His own hand selected nation and people? Then in true Jewish form, the Apostle Paul answered my question with a question of his own.

Romans 11:11 “I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation has come to the Gentiles.”

Boom! It was like an earthquake hit my inner man, and the power of this revelation shook me to my core. I had finally found the truth. All the Jewish sufferings as God’s chosen people were (after all) for a divine reason, and that reason was me! Through all their hardships and trials which their God had allowed (and even commissioned) salvation had come unto me and my house. Yet not just to me, but the entire world has been given the rich opportunity to enter into relationship with their God via this Jewish fall. This becomes a very vital part of the gospel which historically has been ignored by most churches, as they foolishly misinterpret that God has forsaken His beloved chosen people, the Jews.

Romans 11:28 “As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved of the fathers’ sakes.”

Although I had never heard it preached this way before, I began to see the gospel in a brand new light and was refreshed to know that our God still considers the Jewish people His beloved. These scriptures more accurately describe the God which I had come to know as loving and extremely merciful. It finally all began to make sense to me: The God of Israel “purposely” allowed His own nation and people to become enemies so that I could be given the good news of their Messiah, and as this scripture declares, it was all for my sake. However, He has not ripped away His love from the Jews as replacement theology has taught us, and to say that God is finished with Israel is an absolute lie.

Romans 11:15 “For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?”

In chapter 11 of Romans, the Jewish Apostle Paul rebukes all replacement theologians who through the centuries have arrogantly misrepresented that God is finished with the Jews and the Christian church is now their replacement. Paul boldly reminds us Gentiles that it was through their casting away that reconciliation has come to us who have received their Jewish Messiah. Then, he adds the fact that God is not yet finished working in this grand plan, and points us to the coming day when they (the Jews) will be spiritually renewed.

Romans 11:25 “For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in.”

It is no real mystery why Paul would call the Gentile Christians of his day ignorant in the above verse. These Roman believers in Yeshua (Jesus) were already beginning to adopt their own ideas about how God was finished with the Jews and was now replacing His chosen with them, the Roman Christians. Paul all but calls them stupid for such a misrepresentation of the gospel and correctively realigns these Roman believers to appreciate that their salvation appointment came at the expense of much Jewish disappointment. The Apostle Paul further wants us all to grasp the revelation that the Gentiles’ salvation was (in part) a result of a divinely commissioned hardening of the Jewish heart, and the resulting omission from a saving profession of faith in their own home-raised Messiah.

In this infamous letter to the Roman church, I believe Paul was boldly speaking in the face of all replacement theologians (even those yet to come) who would likewise be so dumb as to misrepresent the gospel plan of our God by saying things like, “They had their chance” or “God is finished with the Jews”. In chapter 11, Paul forecloses on this spiritually bankrupt replacement theology, and then reestablishes the full gospel truth that the Gentile’s salvation was to be purchased at the high price and fall of nearly all the Jewish nation. This concept introduces us to a fresh new question:

Was the redemption plan of God for the Gentiles purchased solely by the works of Jesus (as I have always heard) or is this chapter explaining to me that there was an additional cost in the redeeming of the lost Gentile souls?

If you study history you will notice that from the infamous dark day when the Jewish Messiah was raised up upon the tree of Calvary, there would also follow a 2000 year domino-effect fall where millions of Jews would likewise be falsely accused and tried, and even tortured or killed. From the cross all the way to the Holocaust, inclusive of all the atrocities in between, there has been a terrible season of carnage upon this chosen race. Oh we Christians are real familiar with the blood and torn body of our Christ, yet we have celebrated it in churches which mock and discredit all the other millions of fallen Jews. We, as Paul warned against, have ignorantly discredited the full gospel plan of our God by not realizing (or even considering) that perhaps it was the total fall of the Jewish race which has allowed us to embrace the saving grace of the Jewish Messiah. Every Jew that was ever spat upon and beaten, every false trial and seizure of property, every eviction and anti-Semitic rhetoric from churches and governments, every precious drop of Hebrew blood that has been spilled in Gentile nation after Gentile nation: was Paul boldly saying to us Gentile Christians, “You idiots, this was all allowed for your benefit”? Next, Paul (the Apostle sent to the Gentiles) reconnected the horrific fall of his own brethren as a very vital part of the gospel, and included their pain and suffering in the ultimate price of the redemption of the Gentiles.

Romans 11:28 “As concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes.”

In no way do I want to take away from the works of my Messiah, and I certainly am not saying that the blood of any Jew will do. No, only Yeshua (Jesus). But, let us receive all His works, not just some. Which when summed up should certainly include His dreadful commission to induce this time of Jewish omission from Messianic confession. This has effectively given opportunity for the Gentiles’ salvation. I realize that the physical pain Jesus went through for me and you is very sacred, and those wounds in His hands and feet were allowed to make me complete. However, I also believe that the hardest part of Messiah’s passion was the pain felt in His heart as He consciously was the start of a long and dreadful dark period upon His own body of people. In fact, even with all the pain Yeshua was suffering on His outward man, simultaneously His inner man was grieving even more for what was in store for the daughters and children of Israel.

Luke 23:28 “But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but for yourselves, and for your children.”

When Messiah made this statement, He had already been falsely accused, beaten and bruised. His flesh had just been ripped from His back, His beard plucked out, and a crown of thorns pressed upon His head. Still, even in all His own pain and affliction, His focus and attention was instead on the dread that would likewise come upon these very women and children of Israel (who ironically where crying for Him). Therefore, you could say that on the way to the cross Yeshua was inwardly anguishing over this cost which His chosen would pay in order for the Gentiles to be saved. So allow me to say that the full redemptive story is certainly inclusive of the gory which was to come upon Yeshua’s own brethren. I realize this concept will be deemed blasphemous by some, thinking that it takes away from the works that were done by the Son of man. Quite the contrary. It should be recognized that every pain realized by the suffering Servant during His passion was purposed and planned to bring life to man. This should include His heartache over the atrocities which was next to come upon these, His own chosen seed. In fact, as Yeshua alluded, His agony included a terrible worry and fret for what was to come next specifically upon the women and children of His homeland. I believe this pain felt in Yeshua’s heart is therefore showing another terrible part of the price that had to be paid in order for the Gentile heart to be saved. Just as certain as Jesus’ spilled blood and ripped body were perpetrated for my redemption, so too was the pain and sufferings of the Jews used in the salvation plan for the Goyim (nations). As I have preached this “full gospel” in Gentile nations and circles, I have seen scales come off eyes and an immediate release from years of anti-Semitic teachings. Every Gentile believer loves Jesus, but few knew how He used the Hebrews as a part (not whole) of the salvation of their soul. When this is shown, a love for the Jews is immediately grown into their hearts, and they likewise start to be strong Israel supporters. So, when people want to know to what denomination you belong, be sure to respond that you are full gospel from now on.

Nevertheless, for the last 2000 years nearly every Christian alive has solely placed the responsibility of our eternal salvation upon the external works of Christ. Thus dismissing (and missing) the agonizing heart-part which Yeshua faced in knowing that grace unto all clearly meant the fall of His own chosen. But Paul saw the gospel in full light and clearly said it right when he included the horrific Jewish fall into his writings (and call) to the Gentile church. In fact, Paul defines the gospel further by saying that the honest truth is that they (the Jews) are enemies for your sakes (that is to say, for your benefit). Yet to date, the Christian church continues to make this old mistake and openly disregards this agonizing heart-part of Yeshua’s passion. Instead of honorably recognizing Messiah’s dread of the centuries of Jewish sufferings that laid ahead, we have instead been mislead to kick them (the Jews) while they were down.

Actually, the real cutting truth is that the Gentile church has been the axe which caused them to fall. From the Catholic Church’s crusades and inquisitions to Martin Luther’s anti-Semitic doctrines which would later be used by Hitler as a thesis to kill 6 million Jews, the Christian church has blood on its hands. Ironically, that blood is Jewish (just like Jesus’ was). Even today, a large part of the Christian church wants to take away the dirt from this people who were allowed hurt even for our rebirth. Nevertheless, the Holy Spirit addressed these atrocities as the full gospel price clearly before the majority of these all took place, by saying that they (the Jews) are enemies for our sakes. Then Paul also reminds us that although HaShem would consent to them being used in such a detrimental way for our profit, they are not forgotten of the Father. To the contrary, the Jews are the elect and the beloved of the Father. Wow, now I can start to understand how truly fearful it is to be called God’s chosen.

Romans 11:32-33 “For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!”

This now changes everything. How can I not give honor to Yeshua’s kin when they have been not only used, but also abused for my salvation? In fact, if Yeshua was willing to include them in His gory, would He be offended if we include them now in His glory? God forbid that we should continue to side with those who ignorantly disregard such an amazing plan, and therefore boast against these natural branches and further bring dishonor to the gospel of Christ. That is, the full gospel which is inclusive of this difficult call upon the chosen race. No, I for one will thank Adonai (the Lord) for this plan of salvation, and now that I realize the full gospel truth, it compels me to honor Him by honoring His chosen people. Now I feel I have this obligation to see their fullness come forth. In fact, Paul goes on to say that if the world became rich through the Jewish fall, and the Gentiles were spiritually promoted at the cost of their demotion, then what in the world is going to happen when they (the Jews) come back into a state of honor, prestige, and fullness? The full gospel truth is that it will happen soon and be good news once again.

Romans 11:12 “Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fullness?”

Once I fully understand the richness of what I have received in Christ via the Jewish fall, I should then be motivated to see their fullness come forth even more. I should seriously consider Christ’s calling, which not only authorized their fall, but likewise foretold the Jewish nation’s rise again. Like Paul, I too am curious to see just what in the world will happen when the Jews totally arise. If this old world was given salvation through their degradation, what in the world will happen this time as the chosen begin to shine?

How Long?

Have you ever been stuck in a situation that seems to last forever? Usually it is the bad times that drag on, while time flies when you’re having fun. For the Jewish race, the last two thousand years must have seemed like an eternity. The question which begs to be asked during these lengthy times of testing is “How long, O Lord?” I have been there a few times in my life and I totally sympathize with anyone who has asked this question. Like our salvation, I’m sure this question has a Jewish origin, as it seems to fit their plight of these last two centuries. As a matter of fact, at the introduction of this mysterious gospel plan (of which Yehovah would blind the eyes and close the ears of His own chosen so that the Gentiles could hear the good news and see their Messiah) this question was first asked.

Isaiah 6:10-11 “Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes….Then said I, Lord, how long?…”

On the Jewish fall festival Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) Isaiah saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up. Then Isaiah heard the heavenly question, “Whom shall I send and who shall go for us?” Isaiah impulsively responded, “Here am I, send me.” Then when he heard that the commission was the rejection of God’s own chosen, Isaiah must have regretted his spontaneous volunteering of such a drastic chore. About the only thing he could ask at that point was, “How long?”

Again, it was The God of Israel’s plan to blind His own chosen as part of the atonement price for the Gentiles to receive spiritual insight. This actually became a calling placed upon Isaiah’s life and would later be continued by Christ. Yet it would also seem that Christianity effectively adopted Isaiah’s commission as our own calling and have likewise “made their ears heavy” and have “shut their eyes” to their own Messiah. It is the historic anti-Jewish actions of the Christian church and their long list of atrocities against Jesus’ brethren that has been the biggest factor in Jewish unbelief of Yeshua as Messiah. Then to add insult to injury, most Christians mock and talk of this ordained Jewish unbelief as a God-dealt punishment for their hard-heartedness. Seemingly, only a hand full of humble Gentile believers have actually stopped to consider the real truth behind Israel’s diminishing (that it was done for our benefit). But even fewer have ever truly considered that this plan had a statue of limitation applied to it from its origination. That is to say that God is not finished with Israel, and that His chosen will be restored before the end. So again, the pertinent question which begs to be asked is, “O Lord, how long must the Jews be used for the Gentile nations’ salvation?”

As Isaiah first asked this question, the Lord gave him revelation as to when we can expect this thing to turn around for the Jews. By putting this time limit upon the sufferings and diminishing of His chosen race, the Lord likewise discredited replacement theology which has falsely represented that God is forever finished with Israel. This was the Lord’s answer to Isaiah:

Isaiah 6:11-12 “Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate, and the Lord have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.”

It basically took 1948 years to accomplish what was told Isaiah. The Jewish race would be scattered into all nations (called the Diaspora) while their Promised Land lay utterly desolate for nearly two thousand years. Then in the middle of Europe “a great forsaking”

would take place. Churches and governments alike would watch and even participate in the world’s worst ever atrocity against humanity as Hitler’s Germany did the unspeakable to a people who were given for our salvation. The Holocaust became the worst of all the Jewish atrocities to date and was described to Isaiah as “a great forsaking” of God’s people. But could all of these last two thousand years of combined hardships upon God’s chosen have been predestined to result in God’s plan of salvation for the Gentile nations? And if this be the full gospel truth, how much more terrible is it for us Gentiles to not honor and give thanks for God’s chosen people who have carried this horrific burden for us?

Matthew 27:46 “And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? That is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?”

As Yeshua hung upon the tree He cried out, My God, why have you forsaken me? But please remember that Christ came to be an intercessor for mankind, and even more specifically as a Jewish intercessor sent to the house of Israel. Most teachers have taught that Jesus was crying out about His own personal separation from the Father there upon the tree. But I believe He was crying out (more accurately) for all His Jewish brethren who would be forsaken from that point on, so that the undeserving Gentile nations could be brought along into the great and terrible plan of salvation via this dreadful Jewish forsaking. As a matter of fact, it was foretold that Christ would initiate this cutting off of His own people even from the eighth day of His life. At His circumcision, an old Jewish prophet named Simeon prophesied of Yeshua’s painful calling that would initiate Israel’s falling, saying:

Luke 2:34 “…Behold this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel…”

This calling foretold upon Christ’s life would be one of extreme difficulty. Not only was He being called upon to lay down His own life, but would also be the One who would commence the fall of His very own nation and people Israel. But again, do not miss the divine reasoning behind this cutting off: that salvation might come to the Gentiles. Thus, the blindfold and stumbling stone which resulted in their fall was all divinely designed with me in mind. That is to say, that if God would not have purposely blinded, deafened, and tripped up the chosen people, then I would not have been able to see Yeshua, hear His voice, and walk with Him daily.

However, was it actually Christ who caused the fall of the Jewish people and nation, or was it the Christ-ians? If you simply look at history, it is painfully evident that the Christian church has been the real blinded party behind the Jewish fall. In fact, the church has taken very seriously its mission of enforcing Israel’s omission of Messianic confession. Now if it was the Christians who have effectively imposed the cutting off of those within the Jewish race, then should it not also be the Christians which now embrace the other part of Christ’s calling to see the rise again of the nation and people of Israel? This was likewise foretold at His circumcision.

Luke 2:34 “…Behold this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel…”

That brings us full circle and back to the question at hand which Isaiah asked the Lord: “How long?” Again the answer should be seen in God’s description of anti-Semitic events which climaxed as the great forsaking which is referred to as the Holocaust. I believe that from the elevated position of a Roman crucifixion, Christ was also looking forward some 1900 years to the end of these sufferings which He was very personally seeing and feeling as fully a Jewish man and fully the Jewish God.

Psalms 22:1,16 “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?….For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me: they pierced my hands and feet.”

As terrible as the Holocaust was, it was described by the Lord as a “great” forsaking. Perhaps someday God will show the Gentile nations just how great this forsaking was for us. Someday all will know (or at least be shown) that if the Jews would not have been forsaken by their Maker, then we would not have been able to be taken under His wings. Yet this great forsaking (the Holocaust) was also great for Israel in the sense that it signified the end of this God ordained time of the fall of His own chosen, and crossed over into a time which has initiated the rise of the Jewish people and nation, Israel.

On May 14, 1948, a great event happened in our world which signified the culmination of 1900 plus years of Jewish sufferings and became the undeniable evidence that the calendar had changed into a new season for the Hebrew remnant. Over the last sixty-five years, six million plus Jews have returned to the land that was reborn in a day, and the houses and cities are likewise being rebuilt. Even as The God of Israel had prior promised, the time of Israel’s degradation had a statute of limitation attached to it, and a new season of restoration would next be enforced.

This is when the world came into to a very dangerous time, at the junction of these two seasons: the time of Israel’s fall and the time of Israel’s rise. As history shows us, it was primarily Christianity which was the chainsaw that caused the Jewish fall. Yet today, the larger half of Christendom refuses to acknowledge the paradigm shift into this new era of the rise of Israel, and instead rebelliously continue their cutting assaults against this natural branch of our God. However, time cannot be stopped and this new divinely ordered season of restoration for the Jews will proceed indeed. Nonetheless, the Christian anti-Semitic church today is trying (with all its force) to prevent the dawning of this new course for God’s chosen people and nation Israel. Rather than changing with the season and participating now in Christ’s role as the One who will cause the rise again of Israel, many Christian leaders and churches are effectively trying to prolong the season of Israel’s degradation which officially expired on that May day when the world heard say, “Eretz Yisrael” (the Land of Israel). Whereas this large majority of Christian-dumb continue their old die-hard practices against the Jewish people, they have refined their anti-Semitism specifically for this new time of the rebirth of the land of Israel. This modern form of anti-Zionist activity is today seen in the struggle to take back the possession of the land from the Jews, and thus effectively murder the future and destiny of these chosen people.

My Land, My Life

From my earliest memories, my life has always been connected to the land. Mom and dad were cotton farmers and we kids grew up on their Texas Panhandle farm. One of my first childhood memories is of sitting in an irrigation ditch waiting for the water to fill up. Our whole life seemed to revolve around that farm, and it was an undeniable fact that our provision was directly connected to, and even grew from, that piece of dirt. It was a different time, before any cell phones or computers. Back when people had time to be a neighbor and seemed to enjoy the simplicities of life. I guess that lifestyle got into my blood, and I have never been able to strip it. The good Lord has likewise allowed me to own land, and even in different locations and states. Every tract I have owned has been unique and very special to me. From the flat, windy plains of the Texas Panhandle, to the rolling liveoak covered hills of Central Texas, or even the red clay of Oklahoma, this land God has granted me has been grand. I realize today that this lifestyle of being a farmer and rancher actually begins or ends at the borders of the land. However, this truth which we agricultural people take for granted is not some new concept. The God of Israel was actually the first One to fully realize the high importance of land to man, and man to land, and even went as far as to join the two into a covenant of righteousness.

Psalms 37:29 “The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein forever.”

In Genesis 15, we are introduced to this first marriage of a man and a parcel of land into a covenant of righteousness. I personally believe that the scriptures reveal that God’s reward to man for righteous living is seen in the gifts of land and children. In my mind these are two of the greatest gifts given by Adonai to a man and wife for their life here on earth. In fact, the promise of land and children was likewise the beginning of the nation of Israel in Genesis chapter 15, which details God’s desire to see Abram and Sarai have these two divine blessings. There, HaShem dared to make a covenant with Abram whereby He granted a very specific piece of land to a chosen seed that would likewise be received.

Genesis 15:18 “In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I give this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates.”

After Abram faithfully left Mesopotamia, he was directed to this certain parcel of land of which has become so contended of late. There in the midst of this Promised Land, HaShem personally came down to zealously cut a deal with Abram for the ground. In fact, the Torah records that an “Oven” branded this precise tract of land with boundaries heatedly defined as the Euphrates and Nile Rivers. The map on the next page highlights this certain parcel of land described by the Creator and recorded in this ancient scroll. As you can see, the modern day land area of Israel is just a small fraction of what God actually granted to Abram’s seed in Genesis 15. If you actually follow the boundaries and lands described in this heavenly courthouse file of Genesis 15, you will see a land promised which includes all of modern Israel, including the Gaza strip, Golan Heights, Sinai Peninsula, the West Bank (Samaria and Judea), and Eastern Jerusalem. But still there is much more land included in this divine land grant. In addition to Israel’s inner borders, God also included an outer region, or a “Greater” area of ground which encompasses all of modern day Jordan, Lebanon, most of Syria, part of eastern Egypt, a large part of Saudi Arabia, the half of Iraq west of the Euphrates River, a portion of Kuwait, and a portion of southern Turkey. This is the area many refer to as “Greater Israel” which we will latter discuss as HaShem’s peace plan for the Arab people therein.

Ironically, today there is a worldwide attempt to strip the inner sliver of land (which was divinely given to the Jews) out of their hands by diplomatic demands. This action will ensure an equally judgmental reaction by The God of Israel, and soon His zeal will reveal exactly who was the intended grantee in this divine land deal.

Psalms 105:7-11 “He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all the earth. He hath remembered his covenant forever, the word he commanded to a thousand generations. Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac; and confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant: Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.”

America, as a Christian nation which has benefited so much via this covenant God made with the Jewish people for their land, is today the main instigator in this demonic assault to repossess these inner borders of “Greater Israel” from the Hebrews (which above is referred to as the land of Canaan). As I write, our nation is fully engaged and committed to seeing a continued extension of Jewish homelessness and is actively promoting the surrender of their tiny sliver of this God-given ground. History has proven that to destroy the Jews, the taking of their land is the most effective plan. From the day Israel lost control of this covenant ground in 70 AD, the Jewish people began to suffer greatly. They were considered outcast and strangers in every nation where they wandered. From place to place, and from generation to generation, the Jews have resultantly endured unspeakable atrocities at the hands (and in the lands) of others. Yet the common thread which seems to unravel Jewish lives is historically simply seen in the loss of their land. That is to say, when their land is taken away, so is their security, their dignity, and then even their lives. Whereas HaShem told and showed Isaiah of His drastic Diaspora plan upon His chosen nation which would be used to bring salvation to the Gentile nations, He also said a tenth would remain in the land and the tree of Israel would eventually re-sprout and grow again in their own land.

Isaiah 6:13 “But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten, as a teal tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast forth their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.”

Then on that infamous day, there was this earth and time changing proclamation which echoed throughout the entire world: “Eretz Yisrael”. In the blink of an eye, everything for God’s chosen changed and a new season was formally christened by this decree of “The Land of Israel”. Immediately the Jews began to return from centuries of homelessness and acts of unrighteousness at the hands of the Gentile nations. For the first time in almost 1900 years, the Jews again had a part of their land and the benefits which come with its ownership. Now this persecuted people would be able to actually defend themselves against the continual assault of the masses, and remarkably today have become a world power in the last 65 years of their rebirth. However, another great world power has taken it upon ourselves to interfere, and has opened the door for a new wave of anti-Semitic attacks against God’s chosen people by again separating them from their homeland. This ungodly policy which has been marketed as “a roadmap for peace” is far from a peace plan. The real truth on the ground has proven it to be a plotted and calculated attack against Israel, and has rather produced the dark fruits of terrorism and death for another generation of the chosen Jewish people. As a landowner I cannot sit back and watch this happen without speaking out. History has proven the indisputable fact that when the Jews lose their lands, they also lose their serenity, security, dignity and even their lives. At this point in history, anyone with common sense should be able to see the truth and correlation of this simple statement: “My Land, My Life”. Let it now be said that all those who want to take Israel’s land, in fact seek to take their lives as well.

As we proceed, I will reveal how The God of Israel will now respond to America’s attempt to lead the returned children of Israel back out of their covenanted lands, and give insight into how now the United States will instead see our lands and nation broken into pieces. We will talk about the resulting days of judgment and the darkness which will now be reaped via America’s roadmap for peace. These anti-Israel seeds of discord (which has been sown and grown by a nation with so much land of our own) are now becoming ripe and will soon produce a long dark night. But first, we need to understand how and why our government adopted this unfair policy against the nation who we claim to be allies with. How did America get to this point of ignorance concerning God’s chosen nation of Israel? As usual, the answer can be found behind the pulpit.

Church and State

On June 7, 2004, an organization named National Council of Churches met in our nation’s capital and effectively petitioned the Bush administration to create a two state solution for the crisis in the Middle East. The result was the creation of Bush’s roadmap for peace plan that proposed the division of Israel’s land into a series of Palestinian states. The National Council of Churches includes many of the larger denominations of the American Christian church today. Members of the delegation from the N.C.C. that participated in this meeting were from the following major denominations: Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the Presbyterian Church (USA), United Methodist Church, the Episcopal Church, the Central Atlantic Conference of the United Church of Christ, and the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Spokesmen for this N.C.C. meeting in Washington included Dr. Antonios Kireopoulos of the Greek Orthodox Church, and Cardinal McCarrick of the Roman Catholic Church.

To quote a famous Christian Zionist, Derek Prince: “As goes the church, as goes the nation.” The modern day idea of dividing Israel’s land was not originally a politician’s brain-child. No, it actually began within the sacred halls of many American Christian churches as a manifestation of replacement theology. This prideful theology says that God is finished with Israel and the church has become their replacement. Ironically, the very entity birthed to support and to protect the nation and people of Israel has become instead, one of their greatest adversaries. It has been there, in the sacred chambers of the Christian church, that the modern day taking of the Jewish homeland finds either approval or abstinence of opposing actions. Therefore, when you see a national leader come against Israel, it should be understood that they likely represent the majority of their citizen’s ideology and probably have the larger church’s support. With that said, I do give credit to those Christians who have stood with Israel against this doctrine from hell.

A brief look into America’s anti-Semitic attempt to disallow the predestined rise of the nation of Israel via land revocations was first politically seen in the actions of the 39th president of the United States, even as a professing Christian and a farmer himself. From his first day in office, Jimmy Carter began to expose his Christian anti-Semitic doctrines against God’s chosen by creating a political policy out of his spiritual beliefs which would set a presidential precedence for the legal stealing of the Holy Land from Israel. Near the end of his one term presidency, Carter successfully negotiated the surrender of the covenanted Jewish homeland area of Sinai to Israel’s enemy, Egypt.

This one political action effectively reduced Israel’s landmass by one third and uprooted over seven thousand Jews from their homes and rebuilt communities. Also brokered out of Israeli hands by the Carter administration was the new Alma oil field in Southern Sinai which Israel had brought into production, valued then at over $100 billion. The results were not only devastating for Israel, but also for America as we were consequently dealt an energy crisis back home which soon morphed into a farm crisis. With diesel prices doubled, inflation out of control, and interest rates at 20 percent, many family farms in America likewise began losing their lands. This peanut farming Christian president, whom fellow-farmers had hoped would lead in the common sense values of his farm raising, turned out to be totally nuts, and instead sowed the first seeds of discord in the land of our Lord. President Carter’s anti-Israel actions during Camp David openly showed that he is not a true follower of Messiah Ben David, but was (and still is) camped against the Son of David and his homeland, Israel.

This modern day Christian resistance against Israel’s right to arise and simply be a nation among nations unfortunately did not die with the Carter administration. By 1993 another self-proclaiming Christian would pick up this anti-Semitic stick to try and re-submit the Jewish nation back into their past season of sufferings and homelessness. This time it would be President Bill Clinton who would devilishly broker away two very important cities inside the restored boundaries of Israel. Both Jericho (the first city God gave to the Israelis in Joshua’s day) and Bethlehem were surrendered as a result of heavy U.S. pressure via Clinton’s Christian anti-Semitic views and policy. However, these two towns were only a pair of approximately 450 districts within Israel which were surrendered during the Clinton administration’s Oslo Accords.

Next, a fellow Texan and ranch owner by the name of George W.

Bush came into office. I just knew that this man, as a self-proclaiming Christian and Texas rancher, would correctly represent our nation in the principles which Christ teaches us and the ethics which we agricultural folks strive to live by. Yet he too must have been raised by replacement theology to hate the Jews and quickly went to work trying to prevent the rise and restoration of God’s chosen nation. By the end of Bush’s second term, he had stripped more covenanted lands (known as the Gaza strip) from out of the hands of a nation and people long afflicted, yet shortly appreciated. However, Bush’s anti-Semitic form of Christianity knew no boundaries and he next set his sights on seeing the sacred city of Jerusalem divided, and then provided, to the terrorist-minded Palestinian Authority as their own homeland and capital.

These three self-proclaimed Christian leaders have made it evident by their actions that they are not real sheep but rather Judas goats that were sent into the sheep fold of Israel to lead them out of their sacred pasture. However, this trio simply acted out their “theo” (replacement theology). That is to say, their anti-Semitic ways were likely birthed in their churches, and then grew up to become the doctrine of the state. Therefore, the responsibility of their anti-Semitic actions cannot be blamed solely on the state. One must only look behind the veil to tell that the mainstream American Christian church is the real wolf in sheep’s clothing behind these anti-Israel actions. What we are witnessing today in the division of Israel again from their land is simply a result of generations (and even centuries) of false teachings by replacement theologians. Again, the most recent of these satanically indoctrinated anti-Israel gatherings is the National Council of Churches. Rather than put the blame on President Bush only, we must more correctly look at the origins of his roadmap for peace plan. It was the N.C.C. which took their terrible doctrine of replacement theology from the pulpit all the way to the snake pit of Washington D.C. with the agenda of severing Israel from their most important of all assets, their land. Now it is one thing for a politician to make a bad decision concerning Israel (they do it all the time), but these churches should know better. I mean their whole purpose and responsibility is to search out and to know the truth; yet blind and ignorant most remain. So where does that leave The God of Israel today, and what will be His response as these shepherds come forth against the very Lion of Zion’s inheritance by petitioning our government to divide Jerusalem?

Isaiah 31:4 “For thus hath the Lord spoken unto me, Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the Lord of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof.”

This opens the revelation that our gentle and merciful Lamb will now turn against these anti-Israel shepherds of our church and state. The Bible has much to say about this coming time which is therein defined as a day of judgment and a time of trouble which is the result of God’s jealousy for Israel. Meanwhile, the very church which has long misrepresented that they would be exempt from this time of Jacob’s trouble certainly have not discerned that their beliefs could be the real reason behind this coming season of grief. It has been the church’s replacement theories which became the state’s displacement actions against Jesus’ own kin which will actually begin the day of the Lord. Allow me to simply state that America has a date (both church and state) with the Lion of the tribe of Judah.

In fact, the majority of Israeli land surrendered under America’s church and state pressure has been within the southern kingdom which biblically was referred to as Judah. In addition, the lands granted to the actual tribe of Judah are likewise these main areas which have come in sight of the American cross-hairs to divide out as Palestinian states. This is important to see and understand before opening the book of Revelation if you really want to understand the reasoning behind such a dreadful book of judgments. As a matter of fact, before the actual tribulation begins, and before the first seal is broken, there is an official introduction of the One who is worthy to take the scroll and break the seals thereof to kick off this time of judgment, and those who are coming against the land of Israel.

Revelation 5:5 “…behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.”

I believe the land of Israel today is like a fresh lion’s prey unto the Lord. He is hovering over it very zealously and does not want to give it up even at the pressure of His own church. Those who are audacious enough to even try to take it from Him are just plain stupid (actually Paul calls them ignorant). Even if these mega churches and their shepherds come out against the Lion’s prey, He still will not give up on His plans for Israel today. In fact, it is His very duty (as the Lion of the tribe of Judah) to protect the land given to His own personal tribe. According to scripture, it is during this time that He will arise and defend the land covenant of Israel and simultaneously comfort those who mourn in Zion. Today, many people in Israel who were living in the Gaza strip (and other forced abandoned areas) are still in mourning after having their land, homes, and businesses taken and destroyed. Now those who have settled in the West Bank areas of Judea and Samaria (and even in Eastern Jerusalem) are likewise being told to cease all building projects, as the U.S. administration pushes for abandonment of these areas of Judah as well. Nevertheless, out of this era of Zion’s Lion standing up for Judah’s land, these inhabitants of Israel will enter into a God-ordered time of total restoration and glorification. In fact, instead of the land being divided, this scripture tells us that Israel’s land holdings will be doubled. So let it be said that America’s plan to divide Israel’s covenanted land will instead produce the arising of both the Lion of Judah and God’s chosen nation, to reveal to this world once and for all, that He is The God of Israel.

Isaiah 61:2-3, 7-8 “…and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn. To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning….For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double….For I the Lord love judgment, I hate robbery…”

The scriptures have plainly predicted a time of restoration for the Jewish nation. They also correlate this time of restoration with the Gentile nations’ destruction and the day of vengeance of our God who openly warned about this current day robbery of Israel’s land holdings. Without a question, HaShem initially placed a statue of limitation upon the degradation of His own chosen nation. Therefore, the only question that remains is: how long will The God of Israel sit back and allow the nations to divvy up His land and people before He stands and demands an end?

Going back to this pertinent question of “how long?” we find more scriptures to support the fact that the time of Israel’s degradation was only meant for a time and a season, to allow for the salvation of the Gentile nations. In the book of Zechariah, we see this old question again asked. The timing of this question was posed near the end of Israel’s long 70 year Babylonian exile (as defined by the term threescore and ten years). However, today we who have received Israel’s God via their 2000 year exile should be the ones posing the question, “When God, will you restore Jerusalem and the cities of Judah to your chosen?”

Zechariah 1:12 “…O Lord of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy upon Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years?”

An eerie correlation today to this old scripture (and the date listed therein) can be seen in a recent anti-Semitic act which took place by the most recent American president. On September 1, 2010, President Obama hosted a summit in Washington where Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and the three adjoining Muslim controlled nations all attended to discuss the very division of the city of Jerusalem, and the withdrawal of the remaining Jewish cities in the West Bank areas of Judea and Samaria.

In Zechariah’s vision, this question asked (as to how long must the Jews be homeless and made to be outcasts) was actually answered by the one who posed this question, as the angel says, “for these threescore and ten years”. Although this term was originally used to depict the 70 years of Babylonian exile, perhaps it is even more applicable for our time today as the Jewish exile is being dragged into the third millennia, plus ten years and counting. Whereas we must be cautious when setting dates on our eternal God, we should take note that the year of 2010 was long ago referenced in conjunction with Israel’s restoration. As a matter of fact, Jesus likewise stated and dated the same thing.

John 2:19 “Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again.”

It was a terrible prophesy, not only for Yeshua’s physical body (which laid in the grave for two days and nights) but also for His body of chosen people Israel. Yet now on the third day (a day is as a thousand years unto the Lord) Yeshua is raising Israel up again supernaturally, even as He rose from the grave. However, Messiah was not speaking some new revelation, but was simply interpreting what the prophets had already spoken would happen, and the drastic role which had been demanded both upon Him and upon His chosen people, Israel.

Hosea 6:1-3 “Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up…”

Just as Yeshua rose from the dead on the third day, so too did this verse predict the rising of Yeshua’s nation and family on the third day. Could it have been the plan of Israel’s God all the time to allow two full days (or two millennia) of atrocities against His own people? And if so, do we fully understand and appreciate the rich results of this ordained time of diminishing of the Jews for our benefit as Gentiles?

Romans 11:12 “Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fullness?”

But again, the scriptures predicted the end of the season of Israel’s diminishing and also forecasted their fullness. Even as the Jewish Messiah was forsaken by the Father and laid dead in the tomb for two days and nights, so too did He signify Israel’s two day, (or two millennia) time of the great forsaking. However, as sure as Yeshua arose on the third morning, He is now also enforcing the rise of His nation and people Israel as we enter the third millennia. Out of the graveyard of our world the Jews are arising and coming home to be healed and sealed as God’s chosen before the eyes of the world, and to reveal once and for all that He is The God of Israel.

This brings us back to the last few generations as America and other Christian nations undertake to roll the stone back over Israel’s grave. What will be the Lord’s response to this undesignated oppression of a people chosen of their God to now arise after such a terrible last 2010 years of despise? The answer was actually given in the text of Zechariah’s vision as the Lord responds.

Zechariah 1:14-15 “…Thus saith the Lord of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy. And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at ease…”

The above scripture says that The God of Israel is so jealous right now that He is sore. That means every muscle in His divinity is flexing with blood and adrenaline. You can almost feel the tightening of His fist and the increased rapidness of His heartbeat as He watches the nations come against Yerushalayim (Jerusalem). The beginning of this time of the Almighty’s jealousy was scripturally defined to occur in the third millennia plus ten years.

In fact, just hours after President Obama’s conference in Washington D.C. (which proposed the division of Jerusalem) this day of vengeance began at the house of God, at the end of the earth, in a city called by His name. More on this subject later. But for Zion, and the chosen Jewish people, this time of vengeance will be defined as merciful.

Zechariah 1:1,17 “Therefore thus saith the Lord; I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it….and the Lord shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.”

Chapter 2

It’s Time for Rest-oration

It is here that we begin our venture into the day of God’s vengeance. As we stand in the beginning years of the third century, looking back into the history closet of the Christian church and state there are millions of Jewish skeletons. Even today true Christian Zionism is rare, and few and far between are those in the state that appreciate how and why God has allowed the fall of His own chosen. In fact, anti-Semitism within both church and state is at an all-time high and much of the world today again believes these old lies. Ironically, the darkest of these is believed by many Christian leaders which say that the Jews today are occupying Arab land. Rather than explaining why this is false, I am instead writing this book to those who already realize this truth about Israel and their God-given right to that specific tract of land. What I need to reveal to this audience is how to prepare and the steps that we should next take in accordance with this season of zeal and times of judgment which is now being unsealed. A line is being drawn through the middle of Jerusalem by America (both church and state) while the world’s governments applaud our mistake. Now according to the word which God spoke to Zechariah, once this line is crossed, the time of God’s zeal will officially begin against the Goyim (Gentile nations).

Zechariah 1:14-15 “…I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy. And I am very sore displeased with the heathen…”

So, like our God, let us also begin with time. Time is a concept which is difficult to apply to (or with) the things of the Lord. In fact, it is usually wise to avoid putting time frames or dates to the Eternal God. There is a long list of God-fearing men and women who have tried to predict certain dates or times in prophesies, which usually leaves the predictor in a predicament. That said, the mainstream Christian teaching of the end times ironically has been condensingly packaged in a small seven year time box. It is this teaching, in conjunction with a pre-trib rapture theory, which gives most Christians mental security, but next breeds physical complacency. None of the above thinkers will do one logical thing to prepare for the days of judgment, which we are now either entering or fully already into. I must first admit that I too was among the ranks of these complacent just a few short years ago, until the dreams starting coming and the Lord began speaking to me about Israel’s “rest-oration”. I decided to re-read the Bible for myself, without the preconceived ideas of man, or the teachings of the present day mainstream American church, which is largely ignorant of God’s salvation plan via the fall (and rise again) of the Jewish people. What I began to see in God’s word was a very clear and distinct plan of restoration for His servants (the Jewish remnant) upon whom He has allowed such trials over the centuries for our sake. In conjunction with these many passages of Israel’s restoration throughout the Bible, I also began to see a paralleling theme of destruction upon the remaining Gentile world.

Jeremiah 30:23-31:1 “Behold, the whirlwind of the Lord goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked. The fierce anger of the Lord shall not return, until he have done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it. At the same time, saith the Lord, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.”

It became clear to me that the Bible foretells a time of zeal which our Lord will feel for His family Israel. However, these scriptures simultaneously describe a time of anger and vengeance upon many others. So my next question was, “To whom will the anger of the Lord be revealed?” As we explore this question of mine, please keep in mind that most of the Christian teachings of the end times predict little or no time for restoration and repayment for the Jewish people. In fact, the basic church teachings of the end days goes something like this: All us righteous Christians will be raptured, then all the nations will come against Israel, and by the end of this seven years of Jacob’s trouble, the Jews will either convert or be killed. Then Jesus (and we the saints) will come riding horse-back and the remaining Jewish agnostics will likewise bow to Jesus and admit that He is King, and that we Christians were right all along. (I addlibbed a bit to make light of this largely dark teaching). But seriously, this kind of Christian thinking and teaching is almost as anti-Semitic as Martin Luther’s were, and is certainly void of any allowance of time for restoration to the Hebrews which He bruised and used for me and you.

Jeremiah 30:10-11 “…and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid. For I am with thee, saith the Lord, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee….”

I want to challenge you to open your heart to the start of a specific time of restoration that will be given to the chosen nation of Israel. If you really believe in God’s justice and restorative attributes for your own personal life and home, then surely you wouldn’t condone the same for His own family. Nonetheless, most Christians refuse to address the rest which HaShem has ordered for them.

Instead, we have been misled to believe that these end times will be seven years of intense pain and tears for Israel, while we (the Christians) get to see and be in rest. By so saying, we are once again forsaking God’s chosen nation. Furthermore, we have ignored His biblical plan to restore these servants of His, and have stubbornly refused to see the “good thing” that HaShem promised to them.

Jeremiah 33:14 “Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.”

How can we know what the end times will show when we have excluded the very people and nation of which the book was written about, written to, and written through? What if God is not finished with Israel (like many Christian pastors have taught) and what if the Lord really does fully repay the years that have been taken away from Israel. Just a short calculation brings to mind nearly 2000 years that have been recently taken from them. Who are we to disagree with the Holy Scriptures and insert our selfish ideas and plans above His? Any future self interpretations of the end times by self labeled Bible scholars must be inclusive of the main people of the book, and certainly should reflect a little known, yet extremely important truth I like to call, “payback time”.

Joel 2:25 “And I will restore to you the years that the locusts hath eaten…”

Could it be The God of Israel wants to allow (and even enforce) a time of payback to the people whom He used and choosed? If so, who are we to stand in the way of those whom He wants to repay?

I personally believe that the Jewish people have it coming to them.

That is to say, may every single day be repaid in which they were afflicted, and may they be equally glad for just as many years as which they were sad.

Psalms 90:15 “Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.”

Unfortunately, most Christians today believe every word they were taught by their “seminaried” Bible scholars, which for the most part are simple-minded when it comes to Israel. They blame the plight of the Jews upon their own unbelief and pile on top of that accusation, the burden of the coming days of judgment, all while conveniently issuing themselves a trib pass. Thus, Christianity brings more unbelief and distance between the Jewish population and us, as they basically teach an abandonment theory. But if you really respect and care for someone, wouldn’t you stay by their side when tides of trouble rise? Somehow we Gentile believers in a Jewish God think we can disconnect ourselves from them and still be saved. But can a branch live disconnected from the tree, and can this tree live if it is uprooted from the land? What if this whole end time escapology has been taught to us backwards, and instead of the Jews going through more hardship, it is actually the Christian folk which ignorantly spoke against this next coming time of restoration for Yeshua’s chosen nation? You should scripturally begin to understand that this day of God’s vengeance (which is at hand) will demand a time of restoration for the Jewish homeland. So with that said, now realize that vengeance will paralyze all those who compromise this time of restoration for the Jewish nation.

Isaiah 61:2-3,7-9 “…and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified….For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them. For I the Lord love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them. And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the Lord hath blessed.”

Allow me to paraphrase this scripture. During the tribulation period, God will turn the Jewish years of mourning into restorative years of joy. These precious chosen servants of the Almighty will be renewed and restored in all areas of their lives. God will lead them home and plant them upon the land which the anti-Semitic church and state tried so hard to take from them. In fact, HaShem will not only give those parts surrendered back again, but will actually double their land possession in His zeal. Perhaps then, the Gentiles will get this profound revelation that this certain ground is God’s special nation, and the Jewish people really are His chosen.

The book of Revelation is going to be just that: a book which brings a fearsome revelation to many, but mostly to the church. This will be the main revelation: I was, I Am, and I always will be The God of Israel. These are my people and I am their God. A prelude to the opening of this sealed information is seen today in a flagrant challenge against Israel via America’s roadmap for peace plan to divide the land of Judah. As we next come against the holy city of Jerusalem, the Lion of the tribe of Judah will arise and defend God’s covenantal promise of this land to Israel. In fact, it is specifically the division of this land in which Yeshua was born into, and the transgressions against His own tribe of Judah that again crosses the Lord and activates this day of the vengeance of our God. A real danger is now poised to those shepherds who have continually kept Him caged concerning His restorative plans for Israel and even went as far as to petition our government to conceive this whole roadmap for peace plan.

This day of vengeance is now at hand, but can we truly expect to be graciously raptured out of here when our governments and our church leaders have arrogantly (and ignorantly) perpetrated this time of trouble to begin with? Perhaps I should ask you a personal question as well: “What did you do to stand up for the Jewish rights and homeland as your nation (and/or church) slowly and methodically plotted away their restored boundaries over the last 40 years?” Please understand that this day of vengeance is HaShem standing up for them because you didn’t have time to.

Isaiah 59:16-17 “And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness it sustained him. For he put on righteousness as a breast plate, and a helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak.”

This day of the Lord’s vengeance will ultimately be a time of paybacks. As sure as Adonai will restore the years and tears taken from the Hebrews (which effectively purchased the favor of their God upon the nations) so too will He now perfectly judge all these beneficiary Gentile nations according to their resulting actions either for (or against) His people Israel.

Isaiah 59:18 “According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompense to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompense.”

Whereas these scriptures detail this day of the Lord as a time of fury and recompenses upon all anti-Israel nations and/or actions, it also (strangely enough) sets apart a certain portion of the earth defined as “the islands” for a possible glorious role should they respond to that which is foretold. As we continue in this book, I will endeavor to show you all these biblical promises detailing a very specific calling upon these remote islands of the South Pacific during the trying time of God’s fury. The first thing these down-under island nations must grasp is the simple fact that these dreadful dark days ahead will instead produce light and glory for the nation and people of this story.

Isaiah 60:1-3 “Arise, shine; thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.”

Isaiah described this time very clearly by noting that the whole world will fall into dark crisis, yet said the Lord would simultaneously shine gloriously upon Israel and enforce a very detailed plan of restoration for His people and His land. He even spoke against the pre-trib rapture theory and specifically said that the Gentiles would be here to witness (with their own eyes) this predestined rise of a nation long despised. The prophet Zechariah adds to the clues of why this dark day is now coming our way and plainly says that the nations which come against Jerusalem will be destroyed.

Zechariah 12:9 “And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.”

That brings us back to current events, and explains El Kanah’s jealous vent which will rip apart the dividers of the land of our Lord. Now if you live in one of these roadmap supporting nations, it is officially time to prepare for the worst. Even as God tore apart the mighty nation of Egypt, so too will the nations that are now opposing Jerusalem begin to experience the same plague type destructive dismantling of their livelihoods. Simultaneously, in the sight of all nations, God will bring Israel to the forefront as the world’s new superpower, both militarily and economically. The wealth of these opposing nations will be converted to Israel, and just as the Hebrews were commanded to plunder Egypt on their way out, so too will they come out of this current crisis with great wealth and honor. As these plagues written in Revelation begin here in America, a great modern day Passover event will take place and the Aliyah of Jewish Americans up to the Promised Land will be the ultimate result. In fact, our nation will shortly see the largest exodus of Jewish Americans ever back to the land of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, taking their gold and silver with them. This is when New Zealand will first come into their specific calling in this day of the Lord’s new zeal. To help bring out and home the American Jews during the fall of the United States.

Isaiah 60:9 “Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the Lord thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.”

If we open our eyes to the reality at hand we will also see the Passover rod in hand. This time of the rod will not only force a massive Aliyah of the American Jews, but will also be a time of correction upon all which refused to see that He is The God of Israel. So with that said, just where do you suppose that HaShem will begin this day of judgment?

Judgment Day

1 Peter 4:17 “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?”

According to a disciple of Christ named Peter, the church of our Lord will not escape the time of judgment which is now coming full force at the house of God. I know, I know, that probably doesn’t fit in with your Sunday-go-to-meetin, pre-trib rapture theology. But for your own sake, please allow me this next chapter to present to you the truth of God’s word. Like you, I too was indoctrinated with these teachings that our loving Lord would not afford us to go through any time of lack, nor should we have to deal with any slack. So pack and then sit back. The real truth, however, is that this pretrib rapture theory has effectively lullabied the church into a comatose state of immobility and ineffectiveness through a doctrine which says that before the times get too tough, we Christians will get plucked up. So effectively…don’t worry, just be happy…and no need to prepare. But what if that teaching is wrong and you wake up and find yourself all heavenly packed, but earthly smack-dab in the middle of the time of tribulation trouble, and terribly unprepared? Let me ask you this one simple question: If you knew, or even thought there was a chance you would be here during the time of tribulation, would you start to do anything differently today?

Well, in case you have not noticed, times are already getting tough, and we have yet to be snatched out of here. A Jewish believer friend said this to me the other day, “How far into the tribulation do you think we will go before the pre-tribers reconsider their theories?” The mainstream American church has adopted this theological position out of convenience rather than truth. No one in America wants to hear about judgment these days and it sure doesn’t help the Sunday morning offerings to get the people all ruffled up by talking about things that are less than pleasant. Therefore, most pastors focus more on the positive things and all together just avoid the book of Revelation. I mean, why even go there, cause we won’t need that book since we’ll be on the first cloud out anyway, right? But what if that is not right?

I guess it puzzled me the most as to why the all-knowing God would put the book of Revelation in my Bible if I really was not even going to need it. We have been told that this book is for all those who are left behind. I guess after we are snatched up, these remaining unfortunate sinners will go into our home offices and find it there on the shelf, where finally it can be explored instead of ignored. But that’s not gonna happen either because that very book says the wicked will just keep on doing wickedly. No, I too believe (like Peter did) that judgment is intended for the house of God.

Well, you say, that scripture must be referring to Israel then, and they will be the ones who have to go through the judgment period, and we who believed in Jesus will get a trib pass. That too is another false teaching within the sacred halls and walls of the American Christian church which I call the abandonment doctrine. However, this is no new Christian fad either, for we have been deserting the Jewish people for thousands of years now. Could it be that this very doctrine is possibly the reason why Peter said, “Judgment must begin at the house of God”?

I want to encourage you to flip over to the end of your Bible and discover an astonishing book which is today becoming the world’s most amazing read. This one book contains more rich symbolism for our time and becomes a very clear guideline for how to live, worship, and prepare for the kingdom of our God which is about to invade this earth. This unused and misunderstood book is poised to become a best seller in the days ahead as it finally finds its time and place in the hands of true believers. The fact that this book has been misrepresented is no real mystery, for it was said that it would not be understood until the time of the end.

Daniel 12:4 “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.”

The book of Revelation was meant to be just that…a book of revelation for the end times. In fact, Daniel was told that it would be sealed until the end times, which we are officially now entering. An interesting thing to see within the book of Revelation is that the book itself is represented inside the book and is sealed with seven seals. It sounds confusing, but simply stated, once the first seal is broken, a bit of revelation will be released to us. Therefore, we will begin to understand this mysterious book more and more as each seal is broken.

Revelation 5:1 “And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.”

Before we dive head first into these seals, (of which I believe are today being broken) we must first again address this debate of whether or not this book really applies to the house of God. So, let’s back up to the beginning and see to whom this book is written to, and why.

Revelation 1:10-11 “I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as a trumpet, saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and what thou seest write in a book, and send it to the seven churches…”

Contrary to popular belief, this last book of the Bible was originally intended for the Christian church. Nevertheless, the mainstream Christian teaching says, “We will accept the first four chapters, but after that, we are out of here”. Chapter four is where the pre-trib doctrine has inserted a self-appointed exit clause, conveniently right before things get too ugly. However, I don’t read anywhere that Jesus said, “John, send the first four chapters to the churches, but the remainder leave for those unbelievers left behind”. But since these teachers have gone to seminary and have degrees in theology, let’s go ahead and give them a chance and briefly explore their theories. I promise this won’t take too long.

The pre-trib rapture theory basically hinges on one main scripture which grants them biblical proof and purchases them their infamous ticket out of trouble. This is that misinterpreted scripture:

Revelation 3:10 “Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I will also keep thee from the hour of temptation, which is come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.”

It is a nice thought and very comforting to hope in this escape clause. But next, that comfortable feeling turns into complacency which becomes a ticket to never-do-anything-ville. In fact, this one doctrine has proven more harmful to Christians than whiskey is to a drunk. I have sat in services where the ministers taught and motivated the congregation with the fear of the judgment that is coming and you can actually see a spark of motivation to change happening in the saints. Then as the preacher closes, he says, “But look up and pack up, cause we are about to be taken out of here”. Then everyone goes home and back to their old worldly ways, having been released of having to face any unpleasant time of judgment for worldly living. But this scripture is first of all misplaced, and therefore misused. Here is why:

The book of Revelation contains three major phases of judgments.

First, there are seven seals which are torn from this ancient scroll which releases the beginning stages of the apocalypse and the four horses thereof. Next, there are seven trumpets blasted by seven angels which sound out a list of severe verdicts against our world. Then a final series of seven vials, which contain time ending catastrophic events, are lastly poured out on the vile themselves. Now with that explained, there is another key scripture detailing the “hour” of His judgment inserted after the seventh trumpet but before the pouring out of the first vial which all pre-tribers should become aware of.

Revelation 14:7 “…Fear God and give glory to him: for the hour of his judgment is come:”

This scripture is describing the final seven vials of judgments as “the hour” of His judgment. This last series of plagues which are poured out are reserved for the vile anti-Christ kingdom and those men and women who took the mark of the beast. It is this last phase of Revelation which the Lord himself promised to keep us from by saying, “I will also keep thee from the hour of temptation which is come upon all the world”. Remember, we who have received the Lord are not of this world. Therefore, it is the Lord’s promise to rapture us prior to the “hour” of the pouring out of these last seven vials upon the world. However, that does put us two-thirds of the way into the tribulation period. Nonetheless, mainstream Christianity has morphed this scripture to instead read, “Because you are such an amazing Christian, I will keep you from the whole book of Revelation and you will escape before the time of trouble even begins”.

Then there is also that part about patience. I know, I know, you don’t have enough time to listen to me talk about patience. Some call this the microwave generation, as we want everything given to us instantly. We don’t have the patience to be patient these days, and instead of waiting, we just buy it, or just do it. Thus eliminating this sacred period of time in between the desire and the divulging, which is called patience. Still, the word of our Lord tells us that we do need to have patience to actually be in God’s will.

Hebrews 10:36-37 “For ye have need of patience, that after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.”

For those who have taken the time to read the Holy Scriptures for themselves, this verse above would be recognized as referring to the anti-Christ as the one who will come, and not wait. In this context, we are told to have patience and then after he comes, we will receive the promise of being raptured. So please be patient: it is God’s will.

I really worry about this last generation of Christians who have become so accustomed to getting what we want when we want it. We can usually bypass the unpleasant waiting time and go straight from the promise to the provision. Again, the mainstream American church has carried this unwillingness to wait straight into the modern teaching of the rapture, and have taught us that some glad morning we will fly away and go straight from glory to glory. But the real things of our Lord do not work that way, and when looking to obtain the greatest promise ever given to the church, (the promise of the rapture) faith alone will not suffice.

Hebrews 6:12 “That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.”

So, as we look for the promise of the rapture we should also be keen to realize that this greatest of all promises cannot be received solely by faith alone, but will be realized by those who add this unpleasant waiting period to it, which the Bible calls patience. Like the old saying goes, “Good things come to those who wait”. If we look again we can see that this was clearly addressed in the very scripture which is today used as the pre-tribulation escape theory.

Revelation 3:10 “Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I will also keep thee from the hour of temptation, which is come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.”

I must admit, there are times when I feel I don’t have enough patience to be patient either. This lack of endurance is simply a result of living too much of the good life, and the more stuff we have, the more we want, and the less patience we have in getting it. On the other hand, it is tribulation in our lives that buds and blossoms the righteous fruit of patience upon our tree of life. Nevertheless, most churches profess that you will not have to wait to be taken into the glory realm of heaven. Another words, they say there is no way that God would have you stay part of the way through tribulation. However, the scriptures themselves say something totally different.

Romans 5:3 “…but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience.”

Further proof that we have need of patience when teaching about the rapture is found in the last chapter of the book of Daniel. There it was revealed to Daniel that there would first come a purifying of the saints through trials and tribulation which would climax as a three and a half year period of which the anti-Christ would temporarily rule. There again, this promise of rapture is given to those who have patiently endured these days of tribulation.

Daniel 12:9-12 “And he said, Go thy way Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand. And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.”

According to this, God’s word, the rapture will not take place until we have been tried and purified even to the end point of the anti-Christ’s three and a half year rule from the Temple Mount. At that point in time, every true believer will have to remove themselves from the world system, as the New World Order will not allow you to buy or sell unless you take the mark of the beast. It will be this last 42 months which will be the most trying for the Christian people, who have become accustomed to getting what we want, when we want it. I fear that the greatest shock will be to those who were taught that they would escape all these things, and therefore were both physically and spiritually unprepared. Yeshua likewise taught that the end time generation would be tried, but He also promised that those who endure will be saved.

Matthew 24:13 “But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.”

Again, most of our Christian leaders teach a conflicting message, and instead of agreeing with Yeshua’s words they say, “Those who are saved will not have to endure till the end”. This is a more user-friendly, non-offensive teaching which helps keep the church growing and the tithe flowing. This false teaching has effectively stripped this end time church of the truth, and as we enter the doorway of tribulation, most saints enter unaware and unprepared.

The Door of Truth?

In Revelation chapter 4, there is a door which modern day Christian theologians have adopted as the official passageway out of the tribulation period. By using this door, they have told us that we can escape all the judgments listed beyond in the book of Revelation. It really was not a bad proposal and I personally do wish it were true, but unfortunately it is biblically incorrect. As a matter of fact, it is the very sound listed there which is not scripturally sound.

Revelation 4:1 “After this I looked, and behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice I heard was as it were a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will show thee things which must be hereafter.”

To truly get a correct position of when the rapture of the church will take place, we must incorporate all the scriptures which were given by the Apostles, and thus they must agree. In this chapter 4 door, John was said to have heard the voice of the Lord, which was as the sound of a trumpet. This was the second time John had this experience. The first time was back in chapter one where he heard the Lord speaking with the sound of a trumpet. These trumpets are meant to signal the gathering together of the saints all-right, but the rapture is scripturally said to occur at the last trump…not the second.

1 Corinthians 15:52 “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”

Again it was a nice thought, but we must realize that to be scripturally sound when listening for the rapture, we must patiently wait until the last trump. When and where is the last trumpet then, you ask? First of all, know that the book of Revelation is not as complicated as you probably think. Just remember that there are seven-sevens. There are seven angels with seven letters given to seven churches. These letters sent to the churches by the angels are meant to bring self-corrective actions by the saints. If they do not adjust and turn away from their anti-Israel doctrines, next begins the corrective measures upon these churches by the breaking of seven seals which contain seven trumpets which contain seven thunders. It is here, at the sounding of the last thunder, that the seventh angel sounds this final seventh trumpet. Then, the remaining last seven plagues, noted as seven vials or bowls of God’s wrath, are poured out.

Revelation 11:14-15 “The second woe is past: and the third woe cometh quickly. And the seventh angel sounded…”

The book of Revelation is further broken into three main phases of judgment: the seven seals, the seven trumpets, and the seven bowls. These three series are also referred to as three woes. It is prior to the third woe (containing the bowls) that we are told the last trump will be blown. Unfortunately, the timing of this seventh angel sounding the last trumpet does not occur until we are fully engaged in the tribulation period, and in fact, are already 2/3rds of the way through it. At that point in time we will likewise have come to see the first 3 1/2 years of the anti-Christ’s temporary rule as is also defined by the Apostles as a preliminary to this, our Lord’s day of gathering.

2 Thessalonians 2:3 “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition.”

As we come to that point in time, and after we have been purged and purified here on earth, then will we which remain be ready to gain access into a kingdom likewise without spot or blemish. During that time, remember these three things: don’t deny, don’t apply, but do lift your eyes (and ears) to the sky. That is to say, those who did not fall away by denying their faith or applying the mark of the beast will lift their ears and eyes to the skies as they finally realize the glorious sound of the last trumpet.

Now if you agree with these scriptures, do you not also see that most of the church world is falling blindly into this time of tribulation totally unaware? Because they are unaware, they are likewise terribly unprepared for this trying time which lies beyond this door of Revelation four. Today, it is time to enter the real door of truth.

John 10:7 “Then said Jesus to them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.”

A Seven Year Lie

Another lie which we have been spoon fed by the heads of the church is that this time of tribulation is all wrapped up in a neat, clean seven year package which we will not be here to see opened. This specific teaching is actually one of the most anti-Semitic of our time. From the Jewish perspective, they see us believing and teaching that they will be gathered home to Israel for a final seven year Holocaust. They have heard us say that all nations will come against them to hurt them, and then Jesus will come back to convert them. The real truth is that Christianity has terribly misunderstood this book of Revelation, which is actually opened to bring forth a time, times, and half a time of restoration, retribution, and reinstatement for the chosen Jewish people. If you will allow me, I would like to explain.

First of all, let’s tackle this “time thing” once and for all. In my experience, it is always a dumb idea to place time limits to the plans of the Eternal God. Like the scriptures say, a day is the same as a thousand years to Him, and if we try to put Adonai (the Lord) in a time box, we would only be revealing our own ignorance.

2 Peter 3:8 “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”

It is interesting how Peter addresses the church as beloved but ignorant concerning their time doctrines. This whole “time” issue hit me one day as I was reading in Jeremiah and began to see prophesies therein not yet fulfilled. I turned to the front of that book and read in the commentary that Jeremiah’s book was written in 500 BC. That makes his book well over 2500 years old, yet it is still speaking and being fulfilled in our world today. Then there is the book of Revelation, which in my opinion is one of the most interesting books of the Bible. However, most of the prophecies therein have not yet come forth in fulfillment. Contained inside the unexplored boundaries of its pages are great mysteries of seemingly sealed and reserved information for the future. This one book has more heavenly actions listed than probably all of the other books of the Bible combined. If Revelation were to be made into a movie, it would be an action packed thriller which would have to be broken into a sequence of mini-series. Nevertheless, we have allowed our teachers to gloss over it with a seven year brush off, and likewise been told that we won’t be here or need its sacred contents. My question to that theology is: why did God specifically give this Revelation to John to give to the seven churches if the churches of our Lord were not going to be here or need its instructions? No, to the contrary, this revelatory book was written to us, and for us, who will need and rely upon its divine directions during this season of correction when everything as we know it will be turned upside down…including this seven year theory.

So where did this seven year lie come from, you might ask? Actually there is seven years described in the book of Revelation, but it is not introduced until the latter part of the book. This final seven year period is then broken into a 42 month “half-time” of which the anti-Christ will be given power for the defined period to try the saints one last time before the rapture. At that point, we are told to flee into the mountains and remain outside of the cities (like Lot did) because of this demonic system that will try to either put a mark on your head, or off your head.

Matthew 24:15-16 “When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand) Then let them which be in Judea flee into the mountains.”

The fact that Yeshua warned us to flee to the mountains during the time of tribulation is another scriptural nail in the pre-trib rapture coffin. Whereas those that live in Judea are told to flee once they see the anti-Christ stand in the rebuilt Temple, there will be two men of God who will not flee this evil, but will rather stand boldly right outside of the Temple where they prophesy for a period of 1260 days, which is also 42 months, or 3 ½ years. These are the two witnesses, which are described as two candlesticks, revealing their stance and support for Israel.

Perhaps these two 3 ½ year periods described in Revelation 11 have been part of the confusion and could explain why so many theologians have adopted this seven year lie. Still, before this climatic 42 month period there will first be an extensive list of actions and judgments which are angelically ushered into our world. The Bible gives us absolutely no time frames whatsoever for these first ten chapters of Revelation. Again, the first 2/3rds of this famous last book includes a complex series of actions which enforce the repentance and cleansing of the anti-Semitic Christian church while simultaneously activating and completing the Aliyah (return) of the Jewish people to their homeland. In fact, if you really pay attention while reading Revelation you can see that it is actually one big Passover event inclusive of plagues and natural disasters which systematically dismantles many Gentile nations. Whereas this will be judgment against their division of the Holy Land, it will also begin a massive exodus of the remaining complacent Hebrews within, back to the land promised them. Next, a very extensive restoration period will be divinely orchestrated for a nation and people of whom the whole world seemingly hated. However, this broad period of Israel’s restoration time has been ignorantly confined and arrogantly restricted by the teaching of this seven year lie.

That brings us to yet another place in the Bible which has been misrepresented by Christian theologians and has perhaps given place for this seven year lie. In the Tenach (Old Testament) book of Daniel, an outline of the end times for the nation and people of Israel was given to Daniel by the angel Gabriel, and ironically this whole time frame issue of the end days was divinely addressed. But please keep in mind that this heavenly outline of the end times was given for (and to) the nation of Israel, not the American Christian church.

Daniel 9:24 “Seventy weeks (Sabbaths) are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophesy, and to anoint the most Holy.”

Now this gets a little hairy, so pay close attention. The 70 weeks are said to represent a time of 490 years. This is calculated by (70 weeks x 7 days per week = 490 years). Most all theologians will agree with this. Enter the book of Revelation and we also see seven sevens listed inside, which implies a time of Jubilee. There are seven angels given seven letters to the seven churches. Then seven seals opened which release seven trumpets which then sound seven thunders. At that point, the seventh angel sounds the last trumpet and the rapture takes place. Then there are seven final plagues released.

Leviticus 25:8 “And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years.”

Scripturally, Israel was commanded to number every seventh Sabbath of years (49 years) and then there was to be a trumpet of Jubilee sounded during the fall festival of the Day of Atonement.

Leviticus 25:9 “Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.”

For the Hebrews of old, these series of Sabbaths counted up to this year of release (Jubilee) where their land was commanded to refer back to each of the original twelve tribes as their God-given inheritance every 49 years. This is the same Jubilee concept the angel Gabriel showed to Daniel as seventy weeks of Sabbaths, or the 490 year restoration period determined upon God’s chosen nation, Israel. Likewise in the book of Revelation we see seven trumpets that will be blown to signify both the return of the Hebrews and the return of their Holy Land. Yet we Christians have been taught that these seven trumpets of Revelation will be quickly blown inside the timeframe of seven short years. But truthfully, these seven trumpets are actually Jubilee trumpets that will be sounded every 49 years to signify yet another wave of Aliyah type restoration for the chosen people and nation of our God.

Isaiah 27:13 “And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcast in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem.”

Therefore, when we read Revelation and notice the seven series of sevens in conjunction with its seven trumpets sounded during the fall festival of the Day of Atonement, we should get the revelation that it is an intended time of Jubilee for the Jews. That is to say, the return both of (and to) their land of Israel. This scripture above likewise defines a better time for the Arab people who will come to know The God of Israel as well. However, this period of time simply cannot be scripturally represented in the seven year theological lie of which many Christian teachers have tried to pull the wool over all our eyes. I personally believe this misinterpretation is a result of our hastiness to make all the scriptures apply personally and solely to us, the Christian church (which fits under the banner of replacement theology). The angelic vision Daniel saw was said to be for his people, which are the Hebrews. As a matter of fact, every book of our Bible was written both to and through these Jewish people. We have done a great injustice by our replacement theological exclusion of the main players of this sacred text. We must now (even as Daniel was commanded) begin to “know therefore and understand” that The God of Israel has a predetermined season of restoration upon His chosen people and land detailed as a 490 year plan. However, these are not just normal years, but actually days of rest which were further addressed as Shabbats and cycles of Jubilees. These are the years of return, restoration and reconciliation which were spoken of in the Torah.

Leviticus 25:9-10 “Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of jubilee to sound….and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.”

I believe these trumpets of Revelation will soon begin to sound as a direct response from The God of Israel against the nations’ ungodly theft of the land of Israel via the American roadmap for peace plan. These judgments will result in a massive return of the Jewish people out of America and the nations, to the land of their inheritance. Two scenarios will simultaneously take place: Israel’s arise and America’s demise. This Holy Land, which our last nine administrations have persistently forced out of Israeli control, along with the remainder of it today in Islamic hands, will also return to its original owners in a dedicated dispensation of Jubilee. This is the Almighty’s roadmap for peace plan, and He will enforce a restful Shabbat season for this chosen people of His, even in and during this perilous time of judgment.

Daniel 9:25 “Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.”

Seemingly to complicate the matter, the angel Gabriel then further breaks this 70 weeks of Shabbats (490 years of allotted restoration time) into three separate times which is later referred to as time, times, and half a time. Please keep in mind that the first two of these time frames are determined upon Israel for restoration (and not destruction) as has been misrepresented by the majority of Christianity. Let’s now take a look at that first allotment of restorative time.

Daniel was told that this first “time” would be initiated by a declaration of the commanded restoration of the Jewish homeland which would result in the building again of the city of Jerusalem. This has certainly already begun in our lifetime. As most of us are certainly aware, a declaration was made on May 14, 1948 which brought about the rebirth of the Land (Eretz) of Israel. Yet the actual city of Jerusalem was not recovered until 1967 as the Muslim nations once again prepared to attack the Jewish homeland. We cannot be certain about which one of these dates should be used when calculating the beginning of this first allotted “time” which Daniel was informed of. Nevertheless, he was told that this first season of time would contain exactly 7 weeks (7weeks x 7 days = 49 years). Therefore, this first “time” either came to a close in 1997 (1948 + 49 years) or yet will come to a close in the year 2016 (1967 +

49 years). However, Gabriel did tell us that this first allotted “time”

would climax with Messiah the Prince. I personally believe that by the year 2016 we will see an amazing revival among the Jewish people which will open their eyes unto Yeshua as the Lion of the tribe of Judah. This will be a result of Yeshua standing up for them against the very Gentiles nations (of which He was slain for as the Lamb) who are now declaring Israel as a Palestinian state. By the end of this first “time” (which contained exactly 49 years) Israel will have experienced only their first Jubilee event which has caused both the return of part of the covenant lands, and the partial return of the Jewish remnant. However, the Holocaust, World War II, and the atomic bomb were all preludes to the initiation of this now expiring first season of “time” allotted to the Jewish nation for restoration. What should we expect to happen as the year 2016 promises to graduate Israel into phase two of a significantly more detailed “times” of restoration? Simply stated, these next few years are gonna get complicated. But still, as Daniel revealed, there will be time to get it right. As a matter of fact, 434 years to be exact. Nevertheless, as American pride now collides with HaShem’s Jubilee plans of restoring His people to their lands, another Passover begins, and America (as we know it) could come to an end.

Gabriel defined this second allotted time to Daniel as a period of threescore and two weeks (meaning 62 weeks) which is interpreted as 434 years (62 weeks x 7 days = 434 years). You still with me? Now this second phase of allotted time of restoration for the Jewish nation is referred to as “times” in other scriptures because it represents a plural amount of Shabbat weeks that will be given back to the Jewish people. I believe that The God of Israel has personally kept track, and will now give back, every single Shabbat that His people spent in captivity. Furthermore, like a prisoner scratching marks on the wall of his cell, so too has the Almighty kept record of every year of the hell which His people endured for the gospel’s sake. Therefore, it is time for Yeshua to stand and demand that every day will be repaid to the Hebrews during this defined threefold series of restorative time.

Daniel 12:7 “And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth forever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half..”

That brings us full circle back to where we began: the seven year lie. According to the message from Gabriel to Daniel, there will be one final time allotment to bring a wrap to the 490 years of restoration determined upon the nation and people of Israel. This is that period of time referred to as a “half time” or a time that will be divided in half. Again, the overall original declared time was to total 70 weeks (490 years). The first “time” included 49 years. The second “times” will include 434 years. So when you add these two together you get a total of 483 years which leaves HaShem’s 490 year plan short by exactly 7 years. Now enter the Christian theology of the seven year tribulation period of which the anti-Christ comes into Jerusalem and defiles the Temple of God. There is a covenant made with him for peace of which is broken in the middle, or at the 3 ½ year mark. Thus the terminology of a “half time” as told to Daniel by the angel Gabriel.

Now with all that said, please be careful of the doctrine which your church has taught you that the book of Revelation is all neatly wrapped up in a short 7 year period. It just is not completely true or totally scriptural. Mathematically speaking, the Christian end times theology is only 1/70th accurate (490/7=70) and Christ Himself hinted to us that it would take longer than that for Christians and Jews to be reconciled.

Matthew 18:22 “Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, until seventy times seven.”

Christ even warned His Jewish followers that Christianity would make this big deceiving misrepresentation of the end times. In fact, He said that it would even be done in His name (Christians). The real truth is that Christianity, as a whole, has only declared a small part of the truth, and continues to blindly teach this deceiving, anti-Semitic seven year lie which is totally void of any restoration time for God’s chosen vine.

Matthew 24:4-5 “And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.”

If Christians today would begin to hear the full gospel truth of how The God of Israel used His chosen nation and people to bring forth the time of salvation unto the Gentile nations, then we (the beneficiaries of their demise) might also open our hearts and eyes to Adonai’s plans to restore these, His special servants. Instead of skipping these first two seasons of restoration, which are biblically detailed for Israel, we might be better advised to declare and cause Israel’s rise. This chosen nation has waited a long time for their defined restoration time. Yet ignorant and blind most Christians remain, even to their own shame and coming judgment.

Isaiah 64:3-4 “When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence. For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.”

Today, at the onset of God’s terrible day of zeal would be a real good time for the Christian church to open their eyes and ears unto the Jubilee plans which The God of Israel has for His chosen land and people. Who are we to stand in the way of their awaited rise by trying to prolong the expired days of their demise? Their God is one of restoration, and should we expect anything less for their service to all the nations? In fact, Daniel also spoke unto this concept of restoration, yet most Christian readers have been too personally focused to see God’s heart and desire to bring forth this time of reinstatement for the Jewish people. Nevertheless, the restoration is being achieved even without the majority of Christianity’s approval or support.

Daniel 9:25 “Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.”

Daniel was further told to “know and understand” that there would go forth a commandment to “restore”. I wish that America (and the Christian church within) could have gotten this heavenly memo. Perhaps we would not have been so dedicated to trying to prevent this commanded rebuilding. Daniel was angelically informed that this rebuilding process would be done in troublous times. Ironically, even in the face of the world’s all-out resistance, Israel (and the cities therein) is being rebuilt to the dismay of all anti-Semitic forces. Yet now we are about to enter into the second phase or “times” of the restoration of the nation of Israel. This is where things are going to get really interesting, as The God of Israel gets very actively engaged in enforcing this decree of restoration. This is also where He brings to foot another small island nation to reveal His zeal to and through.

Chapter 3

The Day of Zeal

As our world enters this second phase of declared restoration for the nation and people of Israel, the Gentile nations will begin to experience a very hard time of judgment. This is that “times” which Gabriel informed Daniel would last for 434 years. It will be a period of judgment upon the Christian church and Gentile nations for their anti-Semitic actions throughout the last two centuries, which ironically were purchased for us by the judgment of the Jewish nation and people. Please try to understand this mysterious balance of the Almighty in all these things which He does. That is to say, for every day there must also be a night, for every summer there must precede a winter, and for every spring there must first come a fall. For the Gentiles to have been extended this now passing period and time of mercy, The God of Israel first turned His back upon His own nation and family. However, most of Christianity has been blindly ignorant of this mysterious plan.

Romans 11:25 “For I would not, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in.”

Now as we enter this new season there will be a dramatic shift of favor and mercy away from the Gentiles nations and towards God’s chosen people Israel. Multiple disasters and terrible cataclysmic events will resultantly destroy world powers and nations. This 434 year season of which Gabriel spoke of such glorious restoration and rebuilding of Israel, will (on the flip side) be a time of demolition and destruction upon many other nations. Most Christians today would be offended by that statement, but most have not a clue as to the devastation which the nations have arrogantly perpetrated upon the Jewish race over the last centuries. But there is a God in Heaven who has kept a very detailed account of these atrocities and has likewise predetermined a coming time of judgment to restore this afflicted people who have faithfully carried His name, His laws, and also His judgments. Today, most nations are calling parts of Israel occupied Arab territory, and there is a growing list of nations which are demanding for Eastern Jerusalem and the West Bank to become an enforced Palestinian state. Bypassing all diplomatic negotiations and Israeli consent, these evil nations are mocking The God of Israel and seemingly just asking for a display of His fury. The word of God foretold this would happen and defined what the response from Israel’s God would be.

Psalms 2:1-5 “Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.”

Have you ever heard such a stupid and evil plan that your first response is a short laugh? The Lord’s first reaction to the nations breaking up of the Israeli lands and bands is scriptural defined as the same kind of laugh. Unfortunately, this is not some cheerful giggle, but rather a response of utter amazement and further signifies His rise to foot against those nations that took away His land. This scripture goes on to say that the Lord is sorely displeased with this worldly assault against His restorative plans for Israel, and we are further informed that He will respond by vexing the nations.

But in true merciful form, The God of Israel will first warn the nations of His coming wrath. In this last stand, the Son of man will demand that the nations remove their hands from Israel’s lands. This is where I come into the picture, as I have been commissioned to list out a series of events which are aimed at convincing national leaders to leave HaShem’s land intact. If the nations will hear and fear, then there could be more good years. But if they refuse to heed, then judgment will proceed, and the nations will fall back into a terrible time of lack.

Ultimately, this chapter 2 of Psalms also tells us of the final outcome of this evil plot to steal Jerusalem from the Jewish people, and informs us that these conspiring nations will be broken into small pieces, even as these have done to the Israeli bands and lands. This is, first and foremost, predicting the division of the United States of America. As a nation founded upon the Judeo-Christian ethics, America has erred something awful by leading this charge to take away the homes and lands from a people who have been homeless and landless for the last two thousand years (of which The God of Israel authorized to initiate our rise). These anti-Israel actions and political policies coming from a blood bought Christian nation are brewing up the perfect storm of God’s anger and will soon start the breaking apart of our own lands. The Lord showed me a terrible disaster thus determined upon America which will produce this Psalms 2 division of our United States. In my last book, I Am The God of Israel, I describe this dream which God gave me, of three major earthquakes hitting the U.S. East Coast region. I saw that whole area fall into utter devastation, darkness, and chaos which quickly resulted in the division of the remaining states away from this chaotic and unrecoverable area. I saw Washington D.C. fall to never rise again against the nation of Israel, and a tsunami of epic proportion destroy the two mega cities of New York and Philadelphia. Baltimore was destroyed from the quake itself, and then much looting and violence sealed the fate for the remaining states of these original thirteen colonies. After the dream, I began to see certain scriptures which seemed to describe this coming time of the Lord’s zeal.

Isaiah 30:27-28 “Behold the name of the Lord cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire: And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.”

A few weeks after I had this dream of a 9.0 magnitude earthquake centered at Plymouth Rock, the news reports of the March 11th 2011 mega-quake that hit Japan took over the news. Such terrible destruction and resulting chaos came from this enormous shaking. The images of the huge walls of water coming in from the sea destroying everything and everyone in its path were terrible and almost unbelievable. Tens of thousands of people were swept out to sea and entire cities were demolished. Then, as if all that was not bad enough, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear facility began to melt down. Nevertheless, few realized or connected the dots of God’s judgment with Japan’s anti-Semitic political actions exactly one year prior to this March 11th 2011 disaster.

On March 10th, 2010, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs listed out a four point document detailing its disapproval of Israeli construction in the West Bank and Eastern Jerusalem. Included in these four points was Japan’s demand for Israel to return to the pre-1967 land borders, and also a strong condemnation of the Israeli proposed construction of 1600 apartments in Eastern Jerusalem.

Now we can see that Japan was consequentially hit with a heavenly four pointed assault which ironically destroyed approximately 1.6 million homes. That is a one thousand time negative reward for the anti-Semitic seeds of discord which their leadership sowed in the land of a Jealous God. Japan’s four pointed attack against the Jewish homeland resultantly released a four pointed assault against the Japanese homeland. First there was an earthquake, then there was a tsunami, then came the fires, and lastly (but possibly the worst of all) the nuclear meltdown of the Fukushima plant. These events seemingly put a new exclamation point behind this ancient truth founded at the founding of the nation of Israel.

Genesis 12:2-3 “And I will make of thee a great nation…and I will bless them that bless thee, and I will curse him that curseth thee..”

Still, we should all realize that The God of Israel is not a retaliatory King. He has simply placed a blessing or a cursing surrounding His chosen people and nation Israel. Every man, woman, or even nation is offered this invitation to be a blessing to the Jewish nation, and thus promised a blessing from on High. But on the other side, if they decide to sow a curse in the land of El Kanah (Jealous God) then the same curse will return in reverse, but worse because of multiplication. As a farmer, this concept of sowing and reaping is right up my row, yet it seems to be a concept so few in leadership know. But still it is simply our call and our choice, so don’t get upset with Israel (or Israel’s God) when your home nation opposes their homes and then evokes this self-induced curse against your home. Perhaps it is time for us logical people with common sense to take back the leadership from these anti-Semitic self-cursing leaders of our nations, and simply make the wise pro-Israel decisions which will ensure our success. May I also suggest making this Genesis 12 truth a constitutional amendment in our states and national articles. In fact, I do hereby give any nation a 100% money-back guarantee that if they would well do so, then they would so do well.

It is time to be a blessing to Israel and not a continual curse. If they need to build more homes and schools then who are we to stand in their way? If they need to defend themselves from the daily rocket attacks coming from Hamas and Hezbollah, then let’s simply stay out of it for once. Contrary to popular belief, Israel is a sovereign nation and should have all the associated rights thereof. On top of that, they have a God who has surnamed Himself by their name and is sworn to protect this reborn nation. It is terrible what has happened to these precious Japanese people all because of poor leadership. With that said, I have also seen a new time begin to shine for this rising sun people and location, and I have heard God’s plan for the repair of their nation as the next generation stands hand in hand with the chosen land and people of Israel.

Malachi 1:11 “For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name…”

However terrible this past year has been for these humble Japanese people, I hope they can see that their future looks bright (even though they are currently deep into the night) and that there is a morning being staged that will turn over a new page (and their anti-Israel government). However, the leadership of Japan was simply following the bad policies of their main influencing ally, America, who remains hard-headed and stiff-necked. But stay tuned, as a worse curse is forming on the foreman of the roadmap for peace plan. The following is a chapter from my first book which details the dream the Lord gave me of impending disastrous earthquakes and tsunamis determined on the Eastern Seaboard of the United States. Please know and understand that the roadmap for peace plan was made in America and is ultimately our fault.

Fault Line Forming

There is a line I once heard in the movie, “Far and Away” starring Tom Cruise, which has stuck with me: “A man is not a man without his land”. I like this statement because it represents my life and lifestyle. As a matter of fact, it would be really difficult for a man like me to make a living as a farmer and rancher without this precious asset to put my seed in and my cows on. Yet more than anything else, the land simply gives me my heritage and identity. I have wondered why the Lord would choose me to tell the world about the contents herein, then I remember that He has enabled me to understand the importance of the land, and it satisfies me enough to push forward in defense of the land lines of Israel.

With that said, I need to tell you about a terrible dream the Lord gave me at the beginning of 2011. I dreamed a mighty angel came and took me in the air and flew me over to the Eastern Seaboard of the United States. From above, he showed me a dark deep fault line outlining the original thirteen colonies of the America. As we traced this line from the air we came up into the State of Massachusetts where he landed us beside Plymouth Rock. We both just hung our heads as we realized the loss of purity which our nation had been founded upon, and just how “far and away” today America has strayed from these foundational principles which those pilgrims who first came to this rock were seeking to live by. Then from behind me I felt another angel land, and with a loud voice he declared, “9.0 magnitude earthquake”. This foundational rock which I was standing by shook greatly and with a terrible noise cleaved in two, and a deep wide line began to rip east and southward from this foundational stone. I began to hear the sound of a multitude of people cry with a sigh of great shock. However, these deafening cries were quickly overshadowed by the voice of another angel who landed upon this fault line and then declared, “7.5 magnitude aftershock”. This aftershock was so shocking that there came a great panic, and the line of division between these original colonies and the remainder of the states was pushed further southeastward. Then another angel landed upon this dark fault line and declared, “7.4 magnitude aftershock”. This latest quake seemed to seal the fate of this whole East Coast area of our great nation and pushed the line of destruction through Washington and southward. Then the angel that flew me there took me again into the sky to view this terrible disaster where we dodged between the pillars of smoke and pillars of fire that were arising to signify an eerily modern day Passover. There was massive chaos, looting, and anarchy which resulted in the remaining western states in America each declaring their own independence and separation from this fallen area which once controlled the nation, and likewise pushed its agendas upon the world.

I awoke and went to my computer and searched “East Coast fault line”. To my surprise, there seems to be no currently known fault line in this area, although there was a 6 to 7 magnitude quake there in Massachusetts shortly after the Puritans landed which destroyed many of their early homes. Strangely enough, the recent quakes which have so injured Christchurch, New Zealand also occurred, to the dismay of geologists, upon a non evident fault line under the Canterbury plain. Yet for those of us who appreciate the land and nation of Israel, there is a very plain fault line that has been forming which is running straight down Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington D.C. This dark plan to divide the covenanted land of Israel to give to the uprising Islamic radical regimes is overlaid and marketed as “land for peace”. But truthfully, the underlying anti-Semitic forces are actually pushing for the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people. Nevertheless, what these evil men did not address is that the Creator of all the ends of the earth will soon show them the new zeal which He now feels for Israel. Not only will the Lord’s jealousy be seismically felt, it will then come crashing in with the waves of the sea.

Isaiah 30:25 “And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.”

This roadmap fault line formed in Washington D.C. which is currently being pushed down the streets of Jerusalem is actually causing another fault line to form, of which I have been told to warn. If this terrible upheaval in Washington continues its push against the land lines of Israel, we will certainly experience a clash with the forces of The God of Israel which will first result in a terrible shaking of the whole East Coast, then even cause the division of our United States. This area is possibly the worst location for such a terrible event given its dense population, and numerous major cities therein. The mega cities of New York, Philadelphia, Boston, and Washington D. C. all lay upon this fault line I saw, but I especially felt a strong burden for the city of Baltimore. If and when this disastrous earthquake occurs, a resulting huge wall of water from the ocean could effectively and swiftly sweep away these roadmap lies which have found support in this largely liberal region of America. It has become evident of late that America’s true foundation of Judeo-Christian principles has been abandoned. As we change these eternal laws given by Israel’s God even while erasing their land lines, then judgment will begin upon this fault line and many cities will resultantly plummet.

Isaiah 28:16-17 “Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; he that believeth shall not make haste. Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.”

The United States has been a hiding place for the Hebrew refugees of the Diaspora since its founding. America has likewise prospered and excelled because of their God’s laws and principles which this nation was established upon. But today these foundational principles of purity (which Plymouth Rock represented) are being forsaken. For the millions of American Jews living in this region, it is now time to return to their heritage: both the laws and the land given to them by The God of Israel. Still, as you return to the Lord, may you realize that HaShem desires relationship more than perfection. That is to say, no man can walk all his days without making a mistake, and except we are able to fulfill all the law all the time, we become guilty. But there is a new Way through the life of a Jewish man who did walk perfectly all His days on this earth without sin or transgression of these precious laws. I offer you today the chance to know Him personally by simply asking Yeshua into your heart. Build your life on His sure foundation and His perfect life which was bruised and torn for us all.

Psalms 118: 21-22 “I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation. The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.”

What will be the final result of such a terrible series of judgments against America’s Eastern Seaboard? Actually, we only have to look at what we have done to Israel to predict our future. The God of Israel has remained perfectly just in all His responses to our anti-Semitic assaults against His nation. When President George W. Bush negotiated the surrender of the Gaza strip and their productive coastal regions, hurricane Katrina hit the coastal regions of Louisiana, Alabama and Florida seven short days later. In the beginning of 2008, President Bush next began demanding that Israel should not build homes in Jerusalem, and further pressured them to dismantle certain settlements within the West Bank. As a result, America immediately began to experience the worst housing crisis in our nation’s history which resulted in the collapse of 4 out the 5 largest banks of the West. A coast for a coast, a housing crisis for a housing crisis, the West’s banks for Israel’s West Bank: how much more do we really want to lose? So what do you suppose will happen as Washington D.C. now demands the surrender of Eastern Jerusalem to the Palestinian Authority to become their new capital?

I Potter, You Clay

There is a simple little ditty that comes from the ancient truths of our Creator which states that we are but clay in the hands of a potter. I believe this truth was given to remind all that He will work His work and we ultimately have no real power (or say as clay) to what that outcome will look like. Paul introduced us to this concept of the Potter taking clay and making several different kinds of pots.

He says that it is in the Potter’s power to decide whether He will form a pretty pot for petunias, or a rusty bucket for rubbish. Well, that is my twist on it. Actually, Paul describes one work of the Potter as for honor and another as for dishonor.

Romans 9:21 “Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor?”

Paul first laid this scriptural truth as a foundation to his teachings which followed in chapters 10 and 11 of Romans wherein he boldly addressed the ignorant ideology of replacement theology taught through the ages by so many church leaders. For Christianity (which was formed for honor from the crucibles of Jewish dishonor) to continuously discredit these Jewish sufferings and harden ourselves against these chosen vessels, is a terrible dishonor to the Potter. Many Christian replacement theologians over the ages have dishonored their own honor by not honoring the Jewish time of dishonor, which Paul clarified was all for the Gentiles’ sake and benefit. But perhaps this parable of the pots is even more fitting today as America (the great melting pot) seems to likewise be turning hard against our very Creator, and against our brother vessels, Israel. America seems obsessed, of late, to take away the clay from the nation of Israel. Without the lands in their hands, history has shown that the Jews become dishonored by the nations. The question I am hearing the Holy Spirit asking today is this: What does a potter do if the work of his hands becomes unmoldable? And what will be the response of the Creator as America now turns hard against His own nation Israel?

Revelation 2:27-28 “And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. And I will give him the morning star.”

I suppose once the pot has been made and then hardened beyond remolding, the only real option at that point (if it turns ugly) is to take a rod and smite it into a bunch of little pieces. This type of a response from the Potter to America’s roadmap for peace plan (which has effectively given away half of Israel’s clay) would also be one of complete and perfect judgment. We have broken their land into pieces. So, as a man with a farmer’s tan allow me to say that there is coming a day that America must pay with clay, and reap the seeds of discord we have sown in the land of our Lord. One must only realize the years of division and separation America and its State Department have perpetrated against the land and people of Israel to gain a healthy perspective as to why our nation is about to be struck such a major blow. America has become this larger than life, arrogant pot, which today is flagrantly pushing its weight around the world and interfering in realms which we should never have entered. At this point, our leaders seem to have no respect for the precious young clay of Israel in their Potter’s hands. Instead, we have continuously grabbed parts of that prized dirt out of His and His people’s hands to give to terrorist bands and thus promote their agenda of hurt. Now what other options have we given the Potter today, but to strike the unruly clay and break them from their evil way?

Make no mistake about the intentions of the Almighty. The overwhelming power of America currently being used against Israel is about to be shattered. This Eastern Seaboard earthquake will be the beginning of this breaking process, and as Washington D.C. now calls for the division of Israel’s capital city, we will instead see this same shattering division hit back home. In my dream, the Lord showed me the original thirteen colonies fall into an unrecoverable state of destruction and anarchy. Then I saw the remaining states, within the Union, each quickly scramble to declare their own independence from the fallen Eastern Seaboard in order to regain order and stability in their regions. I know, I know, that sounds crazy, but so is what America has done to Israel for nearly 40 years, and now our government is set to declare Jerusalem as the next Palestinian state and capital. As that happens, know that the Lord of hosts will vex the United States of America in His sore displeasure and have all the roadmap pushing nations in derision. Oh, and also in division.

Psalms 2:9 “Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”

Psalms 2 really defines our times, as the nations and world leaders conspire against the Lord, and against the boundaries of Israel. The response of the Almighty is first a quick dreadful laugh, then a vexing in His sore displeasure which results in this breaking apart process of the United States of America and Europe. Let it be known that this patient Potter is now giving America its last warning in this image of the Potter with a rod of correction in His hand. Also, please make no mistake about it, He will strike our capital a major blow if we come against His capital, Jerusalem. We must realize that this judgment will be totally justified when He severs our United States into a puzzled state of broken pieces. Yet out of this time of the rod, there shall arise the nation of God, and a glorious new day dawning for His chosen clay is on its way.

Revelation 2:26-28 “And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. And I will give him the morning star.”

Please notice and understand that out of this time of judgment and division, there will arise the morning star. First of all this star is referring to Messiah, and He is certainly arising for this glorious occasion (as the Lion of the tribe of Judah and the Rod of Jesse). As Yeshua arises, it more accurately symbolizes and signifies the predestined ascension of the nation of Israel. Remember that The God of Israel has promised His land and people a glorious time of restoration and reconciliation as repayment for their keeping His works to the end. Daniel was informed of a 490 year allotment to be exact. He was told that it would be a time of reconciliation to His people, and a time when the nation of Israel would be built up again. I believe we are only in the beginning stages of this rising Star of David period of restoration. In fact, we are merely coming to the end of the first “time” of 49 years spoken of in Daniel. The next planned and dedicated “times” consisting of 434 years will officially be kicked off even as The God of Israel kicks America off our high horse. In effect, the Lord will alter our government’s anti-Israel course by taking away the financial resource via this breaking of the union of our United States into many independent nations. Again, this can all be defined in a little biblical rhyme from the Father which threateningly states, “I Potter, You Clay”. That is to say, the breaking up of the United States in this way will accomplish two purposes. First of all, there will no longer be a big pot of anti-Semitic pressure being continuously poured out (from a supposed ally) telling Israel to give up their land and homes. Secondly, the American Jews, who have refused the call of Aliyah, will suddenly have no other real options but to come back to the land of their fathers. Both these scenarios will greatly transform the nation of Israel overnight. A large infusion of resources and talent will return home in a day, like tender moldable clay. Another glorious part that will come from this shattering day will be the renewed fame of HaShem’s name as the nations finally begin to say that Israel and the Jewish clay are truly the chosen vessels of the Father Potter. Then, with rod in hand, the Son of Man will demand this time of honor to really begin for this people and nation of His which have overcome centuries of persecution, all while persistently keeping His works.

Revelation 2:26-28 “And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. And I will give him the morning star.”

Therefore, the standing promise of the HaShem is to make a broken example out of them that stand in the way of His plans for the precious Israeli clay. But the promise of the Potter actually goes a great distance farther, and has likewise promised to those who overcome, a far away land at the rising of the sun. Although El Kanah (Jealous God) has said He will raise up the rod against those who broke up His sod, He also detailed a new place of peace and invites us to receive this eastern promise. As the scripture details, when all hell breaks loose and darkness becomes America’s noose, this distant land (defined as the morning star) will begin to shine from afar to signify the start of this new day and times.

The Morning Star

Before the rising of the sun each and every day there is a lone star that can be seen shining in the eastern sky. Astrologists have actually determined that it is the planet Venus. Over the centuries, the inhabitants of the earth have looked to the east in the dark pre-dawn hours and have been particularly drawn to the glow of this famous morning star. An old proverb states, “It is darkest right before the dawn”. But if you find yourself in that dark hour just remember to look to the east and find comfort in the realization that the eastern star is signifying the rise of a new day. Today, as we come to the close of the first phase of the restoration of the nation of Israel, we see darkness beginning to cover the face of the world. Just in the past three years alone, our world has experienced very drastic events which some believe is signifying the end of the world. We have seen mega earthquakes bring major destruction in Haiti, New Zealand and Japan. At the same time, the Islamic spring has covered the Middle East with the dark cloud of war, threatening the world’s oil supply, and thus our time of peace. Food prices have simultaneously risen dramatically as drought and floods have taken their toll on America’s breadbasket of the Midwest, and a terrible economic future steeped in darkness likewise appears unavoidable. Even with all our own current struggles and troubles, America and Europe still find the resources to conspire against Israel and their tiny sliver of land. With so much darkness in front of us, is there any little spark of hope or light on the horizon? The answer is New Zealand.

Psalms 2:8 “Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen (Gentiles) for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.”

Tucked down on the far eastern edge of time and at the uttermost part of the earth is a small set of islands better known as New Zealand. My first enlightenment of this fairy tale land came to me as I drove home that sobby day from Oklahoma, trying to see the road through my own tears of self-pity. It was there, in one of the darkest periods of my life, that I caught the first real glimpse of this eastern morning star. Those two words which the Lord illuminated into my darkness flooded my depressed soul with rays of hope and light. I decided to stop and purchase the movie, Lord of the Rings, which was the only connection I knew of to this God-inspired new hope I had been given in those two words from God, “New Zealand”.

As soon as I got back home to Texas, I couldn’t wait to see this movie just so that I could catch a glimpse of the scenery within New Zealand. Perhaps it was special effects, because the pasture land there could not be that green in real life, and those mountains certainly could not be as majestic as shown on film. After the movie, my wife and I went to my office to look up New Zealand on the map. After a quick search, we finally found it at the bottom of the world. Wow, I thought, that is a long ways from Texas. Needless to say, my mind was racing and I couldn’t sleep a wink that night, so I got up and began searching the internet about New Zealand. I found a website that had ranches for sale. Well, they are not called ranches there, but rather sheep stations. I was specifically awed by what they were calling their “high country sheep stations”. The images I was seeing brought to my memory a dream I had nearly twenty years earlier, at another time when I was likewise very low in glow. I began to recall this dream where I was running across green rolling hills with great excitement. Then, in my dream, I ran down one of those golf-course-looking hills and stood in front of a set of wooden sheep pens. Twenty years ago this dream made no sense to me, for I had never seen such hills of green, and nobody builds livestock pens out of wood around these parts anymore. But now I was seeing these exact same images on the screen before me that I had dreamed about years before. I once again was moved to tears realizing the depth of God’s love and heart’s desire to give me something of which I could have only dreamed.

My new found hope was growing ever bigger with every bit of information I was finding. It all seemed too good to be true. There had to be a catch, I kept thinking. But good just kept getting better. I found myself wanting it all. I wanted the green hills covered with sheep. I wanted the wooden sheep pens back-dropped by the majestic Southern Alp Mountains for my own personal possession. But could I realistically make such a drastic change and actually move to the end of the world, leaving everything and possibly everyone that I know? I decided our first step would be an exploratory expedition of this, my personal promised land.

I like to begin my days fairly early in the morning with a few predawn hours reading the word of my God. For me it is the best part of the day, and I believe it should be dedicated to the Bright and Morning Star who faithfully greets me each and every day. I have a very personal relationship with the Lord and find that it is maintained and even grown through this precious early morning time of study in this ancient text of the Root and the Offspring of David.

Revelation 22:16 “…I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.”

My years of study and mediation upon these sacred truths have led me to strongly believe that HaShem has a deep committed love for the nation and people of Israel. Meanwhile, the nations of our world today seem dedicated to both opposing this truth, and hating the nation which brought us these truths. This denial of the protégé of Israel as the Bright and Morning Star, has likewise given place for the legitimization of the division of land from this chosen people and nation. Therefore, as these leaders and nations deny the revelation that the keeper of the world is The God of Israel, there is coming an extreme time of darkness to cover these nations. Perhaps then, in utter darkness, the people of the world will finally be able to humbly lift their eyes and clearly see the arising of the Morning Star.

This Root and Offspring of David is now arising for His people and nation Israel. As America and the nations lead their final charge against the city of David, the world will be thrown face first into this time of darkness. Don’t be surprised by this statement, for this has happened every time any nation brought destruction to Israel. When Pharaoh began to afflict the Jews, the world fell into a period of darkness with plagues of all kinds. Food shortages, water defiled beyond use, and great wealth lost. The result of Pharaoh’s assault upon the Jewish people was the total destruction of everything good in his nation, inclusive of the first born. When King Nebuchadnezzar destroyed the Temple and took the Jews captive, the whole world fell backwards into a time of war and struggle which resulted in Babylon’s great empire also falling.

Likewise, when Rome took the land of Israel and the Hebrews captive, the result was 400 years of darkness upon the whole earth, better known as the Dark Age. Before Rome’s invasion of Israel, the world was experiencing a time of advancements and prosperity. There was trade among the nations, and even highway systems to import and export goods. People were even enjoying the conveniences of indoor plumbing. Then, as the land was stolen from the Jewish people, darkness set in. The whole world went backwards and violence took over in nation after nation. Rome fell and was broken into little pieces, like a clay pot. Speaking of pots, there was no more indoor plumbing for the next 400 plus years. A feudal system took over and alliances between nations and even neighbors were broken. Castles with motes and armored knights were put into place to protect from the violence of the night. All a result of bad Middle Eastern policy?

What makes us think we can get a different outcome today than what any other era (or error) has produced? Could we be quickly headed for 400 plus years of extreme darkness and another feudal system to replace the United Nations? And what about indoor plumbing? Will the Lord break the pot again with His rod of iron? Believe it or not, the Bible predicts exactly what I have just described, and very likely will happen simultaneously as the nations try to divide Jerusalem. Yet out of this coming time of darkness, the nation and people of Israel will arise and shine like the morning star.

Isaiah 60:1-2 “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.”

But again, there is yet another point of light to this morning star concept. As sure as there is a shining star in the eastern sky right before dawn, likewise, HaShem has prepared a nation on the eastern edge of time that will also shine forth to signify the beginning of a brand new day. This other nation, which is specifically mentioned in this time of darkness, would biblically seem to have a very profound destiny as well. New Zealand is very unique in so many ways. But scripturally speaking it is second only to the nation of Israel, of which the entire Holy Book was written to and through. As we proceed, we will look into New Zealand from the perspective of these ancient truths and explore the divine calling placed upon these reserved islands.

First of all, let us realize that New Zealand is first of all. That is to say, they are the first nation in the world. The first nation to experience midnight, the first nation to see the morning star, and the first nation in the world to experience each morning’s sunrise. Contrary to popular belief, Japan and China are not actually the furthermost eastern nations of the world, New Zealand is. Therefore, New Zealand’s financial markets are first in the world to open each day, the first nation to see each New Year, the first to see each new moon, and the first to see the dawning of each new day. This is all because of its position in the world.

New Zealand actually lies right on the west bank of the international dateline which makes it the furthermost eastern nation in the entire world. Simply said, the land of the rising sun where every day time is begun. Where am I going with all this, you ask? Well, it is highly important to see scripturally that as the nations conspire to divide Jerusalem, The God of Israel will use another nation situated on another timeline to define the beginning of the “times” of tribulation upon the anti-Semitic actions of the nations.

Malachi 4:1 “For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day cometh that shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it should leave them neither root nor branch.”

In Genesis 15, The God of Israel made a covenant with Abram which established the boundaries of Israel. There, HaShem came down to the ground as an overheated “oven” to seal the deal. This was El Kanah, the Jealous God. Thus, we know that the above scripture is a reference to why we are entering into this day that will burn like an oven. Perhaps a heated topic, nonetheless a main result of this day will be the burning up of the anti-Semitic branch of the Christian church. Again, New Zealand is the first nation to experience this as well. Two major earthquakes have already hit Christchurch, signifying that judgment against replacement theology inside Christ’s church has already begun. We will go deeper into this issue later. But first, Malachi continues by foretelling the healing and rebuilding that will take place in this nation of the rising sun once this anti-Israel branch of the church is done.

Malachi 4:2 “But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings;”

New Zealand will once again be the first nation in the world to see the rising of the Sun. Therefore, it will be of great importance for New Zealand to also be first to correctly converse the name of the Almighty. There will be no mistake in the coming days that He is The God of Israel, raised like the blazing sun. Once the good folk of New Zealand allow this bright revelation to rise up in their hearts, next the healing part can start down there at the end. This is scripturally told and showed as “healing in His wings” and promises protection for New Zealand in the next times of extremes.

This time of the Sun of David arising and judging the anti-Semitic actions of churches and nations will certainly be extreme alright, but this promise given for healing in His wings is also extreme. In fact, this word wings in Hebrew is the word kanap which refers to the extremity of a garment. That is to say, the furthermost part away, or the corner thereof. This brings to my mind the Brit Chadashah (New Testament) story of the woman with the issue of blood who said within herself, “If I can but touch the fringe of his garment I will be healed”. She must have been familiar with this Tenach (Old Testament) scripture in Malachi.

Malachi 4:2 “But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings…”

So what does that have to do with New Zealand, you ask? Again, New Zealand is the furthermost down-under nation in the whole wide world. Talk about being on the outer fringes. In fact, the Christian Zionists down there will tell you that the center of the world is Jerusalem, and they are the farthest point away in the world from that epicenter of the Lord. Therefore, there is a scriptural promise of healing first beginning in this outer fringe corner of the world. Perhaps one way there will be healing and protection under the wings of the Lord during the heated times of trouble ahead will actually come from the winds overhead.

New Zealand has an extraordinary phenomenon that transpires in the heavens above it. Meteorologically known as the roaring 40’s, there is a consistent conveyor belt of winds that blow in the higher altitudes over these islands. This conveyor of winds actually comes down from Africa, over the top of Australia, then dips down under the Antarctic. There the winds are cooled to extreme frigid temperatures before swiftly racing them over the higher altitudes of New Zealand’s atmosphere. This cooling process actually is nature’s way (and natures’ God’s way) of naturally cleansing and purifying the air of all contaminates. Now as we have recently realized during the Japan quake, radiation clouds could become a very severe problem if these natural disasters continue around the globe. We here in the States actually had a cloud of radiation come over America’s atmosphere from across the Pacific during the Fukushima plant meltdown. Perhaps The God of Israel sent us a cloud by day and fire by night as an attempt to lead us out of our anti-Israel policies. Maybe this is a warning of a future that will burn like an oven if we do not immediately turn away from dividing Israel’s land. Still, America’s leadership is intent to forsake the true name of the Lord, and a heated time is now ordered. Nevertheless, let us address that out of all this darkness there arises the promise of a morning star shining from afar. For all who find refuge under these wings, there will be protection from the heated extremes that will be carried upon the wings of the winds.

This wind conveyor belt which ushers the pure cold air over the islands down there is actually responsible for the original name given to these isles by the Maori tribes who were the first inhabitants of this morning star. These amazing people called their new found land Aotearoa, which means, “the land of the long white cloud”. The cold Antarctic air in the higher altitudes mixes with the warm air of the South Pacific and clashes right over the atmosphere (and mountains) of these two main islands. Needless to say, there is the most amazing cloud display going on in the heavens at all times. In fact, the first time I stepped off the plane into this amazing country, the initial thing I noticed were those fluffy white clouds racing across the skies above. Like the Maoris first realized, perhaps the most important asset of this morning star could simply be “the long white cloud” which has divinely been placed over it for such a time as now.

Looks Like A Cloudy Day

From the days of my youth I have been amazed by the phenomenon of clouds. Even today, I have never gotten past my amusement of an old fashioned thunderstorm. Having lived most of my life in an area known as tornado alley, I find it exciting every time I see a cloud arising, realizing each cloud’s potentiality of becoming severe. The power and provision that come from these heavenly made and sent examples of the Creator have long amazed my simple mind. But today, I see a very different severe storm rising on the horizon. As our world enters the “times” of judgment upon the anti-Semitic nations of our world, and The God of Israel brings honor to His ancient people and name, it is also described biblically as “a cloudy day”. Even as displayed in the original Passover event which tore apart Egypt, this latter day time of Israel’s rise will be seen in the skies with clouds of smoke by day, and pillars of fire by night.

Zephaniah 1:14-15 “The great day of the Lord is near, it is near, and it hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the Lord: the mighty men shall cry there bitterly. That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness.”

But could the destruction and desolation foretold here by the prophet actually be nuclear radiation clouds? No one really thought about these things until a 9.0 earthquake caused the meltdown of Japan’s nuclear facility and suddenly radiation clouds found their wings on the winds. Today, the reality of this biblical warning personally gets my undivided attention. The text goes on to read that the reason this cloudy day of the Lord is coming is because Israel’s land was divided and stolen from them.

Zephaniah 2:4 “For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at noon day, and Ekron shall be uprooted.”

It was a really dense idea which my fellow Texan George W. Bush came up with when he created his roadmap for peace plan and then resultantly forced Gaza from the hands of the Israeli inhabitants. Perhaps his Christianity was clouded. Or maybe his mind was darkened by all the anti-Semitic Christian leaders of the church which say it is ok to take away the land of Israel since God is through with them anyway. Regardless of why, his anti-Semitic actions have resulted in the whole world now being overshadowed by a coming time of darkness, and thick clouds are now forming. However, these nuclear clouds are not the kind I get excited about seeing. Eerily, the Eastern Seaboard of the U.S. has the largest concentration of nuclear facilities in the entire world. If an earthquake similar to Japan’s recent shaking were to hit this area, the whole world would find itself covered in clouds of radiation. Would there be any earthly place to escape these scenarios? Actually, this same text in Zephaniah does give a formula of how to escape these severe clouds on our horizon.

Zephaniah 2:3 “Seek the Lord, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment, seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the Lord’s anger.”

Most Christians know that the Bible speaks and shows that there will soon be a time of extremes defined above as “the day of the Lord’s anger”. However, the majority of these believers also say that they will be taken away to heaven before the rage of this next age is displayed. However, this verse in Zephaniah specifically references an earthly place of hiding in the time of the Lord’s anger and denotes that it is reserved for those who were previously exercised in His judgment and affliction. We should first acknowledge that the Hebrews were used and abused in this past age so that we Gentiles might be saved. But in addition, this verse possibly defines other tribes of the earth which likewise had their lives and dirt taken as covenants were forsaken. In fact, this reference to “the meek of the earth” very possibly defines certain indigenous tribes as the ones whom the Lord may hide when the tide begins to rise and radiation fills the skies. The prophet previously labeled this time of trouble as a day of clouds. Therefore, this place of hiding which he was referring in this cloudy day is very possibly “the land of the long white cloud”, and the meek of which Zephaniah did speak certainly could be the Maori. For those fortunate enough to already be under the shadow of this long white cloud, let me say out loud, “Mazel Tov” (congratulations). For all the other meek who currently seek the Lord, you will likely be required to board like Noah, and leave like Lot. But in addition, these Lot-type leaver-believers must also seek the Lord in righteousness and meekness. These two specific references tie this seeking of the Lord to the land, and more specifically, His land Israel. Allow me to briefly explain.

In Genesis 15, God came down in the form of an oven, granted the land to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and made a covenant therein called a covenant of righteousness. In addition, there are other scriptures tying the righteousness of the Lord to the land covenant. This same concept is also applied to the meek, for as Proverbs says, “the meek shall inherit the earth” (meaning the land). So, when the prophet Zephaniah stated that those who seek the Lord in righteousness and meekness will be hid during the coming storms, what he is really saying is, you must seek the Lord of the land of Israel and understand the connection of the Promised Land to the Almighty’s salvation plan. That’s potentially bad news for Carter, Bush and Obama, for although they call themselves Christians, they did not seek the Lord in righteousness nor meekness.

The Bible warned that this coming dark period would be initiated by the suggested division of God’s holy mountain. Today, the U.S. State Department continues to propose this dark starting line, and neither find opposition from any other free nation. The scriptures show that this evil plot will invoke a chain reaction of mega earthquakes worldwide as the nations collide with HaShem’s restorative plans for Israel. These mega quakes are signifying the partition between the expiring time of grace and the beginning time of judgment. Although this next season will be gloomy, the scriptures also give room for a new morning to dawn upon a certain mountainous land.

Joel 2:1-2 “Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the world tremble: for the day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand; A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains..”

Like a siren blasting at the breaking in of a thief, so too did Joel predict the sounding of such an alarm at the breaking up of God’s holy mountain. Today, the roadmap’s Quartet, which consists of America, Russia, the United Nations, and the European Union, are all calling for Israel to withdrawal from East Jerusalem, which includes the Old City and their famous Western Wall where so many Israeli prayers have been offered. Joel was warning us that this specific ungodly action would initiate the day of the Lord. A day that would make all the inhabitants of the world tremble, referencing the earthquakes we are now seeing come so frequently and with greater intensity. These are the first warning sirens. As each quake hits, car alarms sound, home detection systems ring, then ambulance sirens begin to sound. Still, no one seems to hear God’s warning about His holy hill. So Joel goes on to warn of the coming days of darkness. What most people do not realize is that our world has a 400 year date with darkness on the horizon, which means no more modern conveniences or electricity. Simply stated, the world will fall back into another Dark Age. As Joel predicts: a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, as morning spreads upon the mountains. But wait: did you see the reference to the morning and the day of clouds? Is there a ray of hope in this future time of darkness?

Again, New Zealand is the first nation of the world to see each morning’s sunrise, and as the Maori seemed to divinely understand, it is also “the land of the long white cloud”. These scriptures which describe this coming time of desolation with thick clouds (possibly nuclear) covering the world, also references a mountainous nation at the rising of the sun that will survive and actually thrive in this coming time of darkness.

As we near the 40th year of the nations dividing the reborn land of Israel, the Lion of the tribe of Judah will rise up high and roar like a man of war. When He does, perhaps the roaring 40’s which blow over Aotearoa can be used to hide the meek who seek God’s protection. New Zealand will be protected from these radiation clouds if they become the first nation to clearly understand the curse which is connected to dividing Israel’s land. In fact, even as the whole earth becomes covered by the dark clouds of this curse, a ray of new hope will first be seen upon the distant mountains of NZ. There, in the land of the rising sun, a new day’s dawn will come upon a nation and people which find their New Zeal for The God of Israel.

Chapter 4

It’s Personal

I must admit, my original interest in New Zealand was personal. I first began to see all the advantages that this far off island nation could offer to me and my family. An easier climate with fewer times of drought and an escape from these extreme 110 F degree summer days. Perhaps down there, in a land void of predators (such as the illusive Texas coyote) a more profitable ranch life could be realized. This far off land also reminds me of the era I grew up in, where neighbors still help neighbors, as New Zealand has seemingly retained their agricultural standard of living.

However, my own personal desires have now begun to be overshadowed by my personal Friend’s desire who introduced me to these beautiful islands to begin with. As I began to search His scriptures I found that The God of Israel has an amazing destiny not only for me down-under, but more importantly for the nation and the people of New Zealand. After several years of prayer and the searching out of God’s word, I have concluded that these small islands that lay on the eastern edge of time are about to lead the world into a new day dawning. I believe that as El Kanah (Jealous God) supernaturally turns upside down a world which has lost its way, New Zealand will come out on top to lead in the right way. I can now see (by His word) the Creator’s plan since the beginning of time which promises New Zealand will arise during this time of judgment to reveal the new zeal which The God of Israel feels for His personal land and clan. In fact, the Bible even details that the establishment of God’s kingdom upon the earth (which will be amidst the nation and people of Israel) will be established during this coming time of judgment, and performed by the “zeal” of the Lord of hosts.

Isaiah 9:7 “Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.”

We were blessed to be able to take our first trip to this land of “zeal” back in June of 2008. My wife and I with our two kiddos, Corey and Tabitha, and we also took two of their friends with us. It turned out to be a lot of fun. Albeit challenging at times, with the six of us in that small Kiwi car-hire (as they call them) all laughing at me driving on the right side of the car and the wrong side of the road (at times) while using the windshield wiper instead of the turn signal. The first four round-a-bouts were very confusing, yet the local Kiwis seemed to realize my foreign-ness and did not run over us.

We first flew into Auckland and I can remember looking out the window of our plane on the approach and being amazed at the beauty of the green hills and water below. It was then that I felt the first wave of what would be the witness of God’s great peace as I was there in the land of New Zeal. Even my son and my wife, who were somewhat skeptical about my revelations, found themselves understanding my desire to move to the end of the world, even at this, our first glimpse of what we could only describe as heavenly.

As we put our feet back on the ground in the Auckland airport my first impressions seemed to be amusement at the cleanliness and lack of congestion of the Kiwi’s airport. It was evident that we were no longer in the American society as even the people seemed much more proper both in attitude and attire. I felt so much peace even in the silly airport (of all places) which was accompanied with a sense of safety and relaxedness. It was almost like we had escaped the fast-paced stress-filled American way and entered a slower, cleaner, safer, and less congested world which I began to realize could be one of the earth’s greatest and best kept secrets. It was there, in the Auckland airport, that I made up my mind (and a plan) that this secret land would someday and someway become my new home.

From Auckland we boarded another plane to make our way south to a place called Queenstown. The flight down was unbelievable as we found ourselves tranquilized by the majestic snow covered mountain ranges below us while still trying to observe the local people sitting around us. It was becoming apparent that the Kiwis were a different breed than we Americans. Everything about the New Zealand people is more proper than our society. From their personal appearance, their dress, and their speech, I began to notice that I was no longer in casual America.

Kiwis seem to find honor in living above the line. That is to say, they make a greater personal effort in their personal presentation. What you will not see very often in the New Zealand society is a sloppy t-shirt wearing individual elbowing through the buffet line for the third time while spitting out a double negative, equally sloppy language (I hope that was not too graphic). Everything about the New Zealand society seems healthier, cleaner, safer, slower, and most certainly prettier. Then seated behind me I heard a small voice of a 10 year old boy say, “Look, the Remarkables!” Out and below was a sight indescribable as the pilot of the plane also broke the silence and informed us that what lay below were the mountains of our destination.

There had been a delay in Auckland for our descent to Queenstown because of an unexpected early snow storm which had hit the Remarkables Mountain range. We eventually boarded and were told that it would most likely be the last flight to Queenstown for several days. The pilot seemed a little concerned as he told us that he had to crisscross the Remarkables below while diving down through the clouds and turbulence to make Queenstown. The mixture of the storm anticipation comingled with my excitement over everything I was mentally uploading about New Zealand had me on the edge of my seat (so to speak). The pilot did exactly what he said and literally cork-screwed the plane right down into what has to be one of the most spectacular places on planet earth. Our plane, a smaller version of the airbus we crossed the Pacific in, came to a stop on the tarmac where two ladders were raced out to the front and back of the plane. We were directed towards the back of the plane and as I neared the exit door all I could hear was repeated “wows” coming from my son who was first out into this last place on earth. As I crossed the plane’s threshold I too was stopped dead in my tracks by a view which confirmed the name given to the mountains which cradle Queenstown. My inclination was to just stop and enjoy the moment, but the airline stewardess patiently (yet forcefully) reminded us that we must keep moving. Besides the mountains, which seemed to dominate all our attention, I began to feel the crispness of the air infiltrating my lungs. Was it my imagination or was the air purer and cleaner? Then the clouds again captivated me as I began to understand the Maoris’ naming of these islands as “the land of the long white cloud”.

The next morning presented me my first opportunity to put things back into a normal routine as I snuck out of our Queenstown lodge for a pre-dawn brisk walk in the fall Alp air. It felt familiar to put God first, yet exciting different as the sun began to rise from a slightly different direction. The rising sunlight spreading upon the surrounding mountains and the lake side town of Queenstown (which amazingly resembles a Swiss Alps town) made my praise directed toward the Lord of the earth come with a greater enthusiasm. There it was, my first sunrise in the nation of the rising sun, and my first dawn in the land which had captured my heart.

After a few days in this remote and indescribably beautiful village, we took a day trip westward to Milford Sounds. Words cannot do justice for the splendor of the countryside we saw on this excursion. We were taken along a very well maintained paved country road and I especially enjoyed looking at the high country sheep and deer stations as we continued to wind our way through to the Sounds.

Half way to Milford we stopped for a cup of tea (which is high priority in New Zealand) at Te Anau and my wife and I walked over to the local grocery store. There we got confirmation on our first negative news about New Zealand, as food prices were somewhat higher. Although the quality is certainly better, whereas much is grown locally, still anything that is packaged or imported is considerably higher in price than we were accustomed to. The locally grown fruits, breads, and deer meat seemed to be an affordable staple as we had four extraordinarily hungry teenagers aboard our three week venture.

Leaving Te Anau to Milford Sounds we entered a natural reserve and passed through a range that was home to glaciers and a mountain stream where our bus driver stopped and told us to pour out our imported water bottles and fill them with the pure New Zealand mountain glacial water flowing from the nearby stream. I was reluctant at first until I witnessed the driver actually drink from the stream himself. I thought to myself, is there any place left in this world where a man can actually drink from a stream and not get ill? As I drank the water, I realized that New Zealand was a large notch above what I was accustomed to and my thoughts turned to that of a better life here for the generations that should follow me, should the Lord tarry.

At Milford we climbed aboard a vessel for a several hour waterborne tour of the Sounds. This experience was just too much for my little brain to process.

I literally had a melt down on my “amazingness” meter as we all glaringly starred up at the mile high mountains on either side with numerous waterfalls spilling down the sides to the still, clear water of Milford. For anyone who visits New Zealand, this is a must see sight.

From Queenstown we started making our way northward toward Christchurch. This area of New Zealand (known as Otago) is probably some of the most remote and untouched areas of the nation. Although it is a more arid climate, there are those small pockets of civilization where some brave souls are making a-go of it. This area reminded me of New Mexico for its remoteness, yet the countryside was uniquely beautiful, with large mountains, passes, braided rivers, and the occasional village every 100 km or so. To live in this area, even for us who are somewhat accustom to remoteness, would be quite an adjustment. There certainly are no Walmarts around the corner, and everything is still mom and pop owned and run in the tiny village areas. My mind began to go back to my youth and an era which we Americans traded for a bigger (and supposedly better) way of life.

After an all day drive though the remote mountainous region from Queenstown we finally descended onto the Canterbury Plains which leads to the city which I had been dreaming about seeing. From my first revelation of New Zealand, my soul and spirit had been longing to see this city which contained two of the most precious names I know. Christchurch was coming into view and my mind was racing with the revelations of this city set on the eastern edge of time which I had found in God’s word to be a place of great destiny for the future days ahead. I again began to visualize this city as the place which would sing out for the restoration of Israel and the coming of our Jewish King. I began to quote from memory the verses from Isaiah 24 which describe a world turned upside down and economies destroyed. Yet from these eastern isles of the sea, and from this city which is called by His name, the scriptures foretell there will be heard the singing of songs of Israel’s redemption and the glorification of the name of the Lord God of Israel. I could hear the Spirit of the Lord feeding me these words of the destiny for this city and truly believed Him saying that the zeal of the Lord for His people Israel will be known and shown here in Christchurch, New Zealand. It was then and there, coming into this city which is named personally after my Lord, that I realized just how personal this whole issue is to The God of Israel.

Upside Down World

There is a story from the Brit Chadashah (New Testament) book of John which describes the bizarre transformation of the cheek-turning, peace-preaching Rabbi Jesus into a seemingly angry and extremely zealous God. Perhaps it was simply the money changers and those who were making profit from God’s holy place that made Him mad. Or maybe this open display of God’s zeal was somewhat symbolic, with an even deeper meaning and prophetic connotation for an event of the future. Perhaps also that future episode is happening now as Israel is being told that their God given city of old (and wailing wall therein) they are illegally occupying.

John 2:13-17 “And the Jews Passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, and found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: and when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers money, and overthrew the tables; and said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house a house of merchandise. And the disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.

On January 9th 2008, the president of America, George W. Bush, landed in Jerusalem to meet with the Israeli leadership to propose the division of Jerusalem into a permanent Palestinian state. In effect, George was making the house of God a house of merchandise by bartering with it upon the negotiation table. We must prophetically realize that Jerusalem, and the Temple Mount area, is the final line of God’s extended grace to the Gentile nations. That is to say, when this line is crossed, the gentle Lamb that was also crossed there will officially come off on those who propose such anti-Israel actions, and the world will witness this meek Messiah become the mad Messiah. The Bible has long warned of this transforming day when the book of Revelation’s judgments will be opened against the Gentile nations and the anti-Semitic churches therein, even by this, the Lion of the tribe of Judah.

Revelation 5:5 “…behold the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.”

In fact, the first waves of these responding judgments were quickly experienced after Bush’s challenge of this sacred city, Jerusalem. Even as prophesied in Jesus’ raging episode of His time, so too were the money changers and America’s economy immediately affected. By the end of 2008 the whole world was officially in the worst economic down-turn since the great depression. Billions upon billions were rushed under the falling American economic system in man’s attempt to uphold the stability of the crashing U.S. economy. Instead of America heeding this zealous warning from Israel’s God, we voted in another anti-Semitic Christian president who likewise has his eyes upon God’s prize possession, Jerusalem. On May 20, 2011 President Obama stated that America’s position is that Israel must withdraw back to the pre-1967 lines which means we are calling for Israel’s forfeiture of the Old City of Jerusalem. As America seemingly taunts The God of Israel we are teetering on this line of transforming time, and a date with fate where disastrous judgments await. As the original story of Jesus’ zeal reveals, it will likewise be a time of economic disaster with the upside down turning of the money tables of the American financial system, and then the whole world. Maybe then, the American State Department and those Christians who sold-out their dove will finally know that Israel has a God looking out from above.

In fact, Isaiah 24 has foretold these series of events that are now happening and says that because the nations have broken the everlasting covenant (Genesis 15 - God gave to Abraham’s seed the land) the Lord will turn the world upside down and the buyer, the seller, the lender, and the borrower will all be scattered. This again is the same event (Passover) described as Jesus zealously defended the Temple area by overturning the money tables and whipping those who bartered within God’s house. This scripture in Isaiah 24 also says the curse (pronounced Allah in Hebrew) will devour the earth and that men will be burned. Is this specifically warning of nuclear attacks by radical Jihadist? This chapter also describes a great scattering of people during this time of war, and denotes the Jewish Passover and immigration (Aliyah) back to the Holy Land.

Isaiah 24:1-6 “Behold, the Lord maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof. And it shall be as with the people, so with the priests….as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him….because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore the curse hath devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.”

Now at the same time of this economic over-turning and extreme time of war, something very unexpected will also begin to happen. From the bottom of the earth, on the eastern edge of time, a small island nation will arise, join Israel’s side, and will begin to sing the songs of the redeemed. From the uttermost part of the earth, and from the isles of the sea, the Bible says a series of praise songs will go forth giving glory to God for His redemption of Israel and for His faithfulness not to have forgotten His very own chosen land and people. Even as the whole world is turned upside down, New Zealand is scripturally offered a position to arise for the occasion and reveal their New Zeal for The God of Israel.

Isaiah 24:13-16 “When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and the gleaning of grapes when the vintage is done. They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the Lord, they shall cry aloud from the sea. Wherefore glorify ye the Lord in the fires, even the name of the Lord God of Israel in the isles of the sea. From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs..”

Our first visit to New Zealand in 2008 was when I truly saw for myself how this place perfectly fits the criteria spoken of in Isaiah 24. It is the furthermost down-under nation and also sets on the far eastern edge of the dateline, making it the first nation to see the sun rise each morning. New Zealand is a nation comprised of two main islands which the Southern Alps bisect. It is a nation of great natural beauty, with forest and fields, mountains and valleys, and is isolated in the middle of the sea as described by Isaiah. But what was most striking to me was a city in the southern island named Christchurch which lies on an eastern peninsula making it one of the world’s furthermost eastern cities on the bottom of the world. The Bible teaches us that the Messiah will come from the east. So, could it be that this city called by His name might be the first to see His glorious return? Whereas the first coming of the Lord was humble and meek, the second coming will be completely opposite. Let us remember that next El Kanah will come and vex the nations in His jealous sensation over His house and nation Israel. In fact, Christchurch, NZ could be the first to see His zeal as well.

John 2:17 “And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.”

Since our first visit to Christchurch there has been a terrible time of shaking happening in this beautiful city. We were able to revisit this city shortly after the first quake, and the damage to this beautiful place was very disheartening. The first night my wife and I spent in Christchurch we woke up very early, as our internal clocks were still on Texas time. I made a cup of joe and sat down at a little table and opened my Bible. Straight away, the Lord spoke to me to read Psalms 105:6-11

“O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen. He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all the earth. He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac; and confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant: saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.”

No sooner had I finished reading this scripture aloud, we heard a terrible bang and the whole building shook. I initially thought someone had driven a truck into our hotel. But next I noticed that the couch Tricia was sitting on was moving back and forth even with her on it. We had never experienced an earthquake before. Oh, we have seen our fair share of natural disasters, but this did not compare. All I can say is that I felt helpless in a way, yet very awed by the extreme power displayed that can make the earth sway in this way. We latter found out that this shake was only rated a 4.8, but it certainly made me take heed to further believe that there is indeed a Deity much greater than me. In fact, that first morning as this God of the earth shook us (and all of Christchurch) He very distinctly informed me that His judgments were now beginning there at the end in this city called by His name. But HaShem further explained that these judgments are connected to the land of Israel which is currently being dissected.

Not long after our visit to Christchurch the next big earthquake hits, and this once spectacular city, and its beautiful inhabitants, are now looking at a future which seems uncertain, and shaky at best. But what few people realize is the heavenly indicator that these quakes are now signifying. The Bible speaks of a time when the grace period extended to the Gentile nations will come to an end and describes a specific event that will signify that the time of the Gentiles is complete.

Isaiah 24:13 “When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and the gleaning of grapes when the vintage is done.”

The first thing we must understand in this scriptural description of an olive tree being shaken to signify the end of the vintage (New Testament grace period to the Gentiles) is that it is written in the context of these nations breaking the everlasting covenant (Israel’s land grant). But please don’t fall into the anti-Semitic Christian teachings which say the world is now over. No, the world is not at its end, it is just being turned upside down on its end so that the Jewish Passover may now begin. Sorta like an hour glass, the time of the Gentiles is running out of sand and now the hand of the Lord will turn it over and the Jewish time will begin. Remember that Daniel was told of a term of 70 weeks of Sabbaths (or 490 years) determined for the restoration of the persecuted nation and people of Israel. Whereas the scriptures in Isaiah do paint a very grim picture for the majority of the world in this upside down time, we are also told that during this time of trouble, Jacob (Israel) will be saved. Still, there is another specific Gentile nation (in the Pacific) which God’s word has miraculously extended grace to during these “times” which are now at hand. As defined by Isaiah, it would be an island nation which is located at the uttermost part of the world, which is surrounded by the sea, and is in the fires (also translated as the east).

Isaiah 24:14-16 “They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the Lord, they shall cry aloud from the sea. Wherefore glorify ye the Lord in the fires, even the name of the Lord God of Israel in the isles of the sea. From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs..”

When this scripture details an island nation glorifying the Lord God of Israel “in the fires” it is describing two scenarios: a nation which is first to see the fire of the sunrise each day, and a nation which will be used during the fiery tribulation period. How will New Zealand be used you ask? This scripture says that they will glorify the Lord God of Israel in the fires. This simply means that Kiwis will sing in this new day dawning when the fiery Oven burns away all who say Israel should have no place today. Or perhaps this is saying that the Maori will shout when they learn about the prescribed burn of Genesis 15 that will turn away ungodliness from Jacob. In fact, the prophet Isaiah detailed way back that the lower parts of the earth (even including the trees and the mountains) might be the first to show a real New Zeal for The God of Israel.

Isaiah 44:23 “Sing, O ye heavens; for the Lord hath done it: shout ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified himself in Israel.”

When we traveled across the land of New Zealand in 2008, I was first amazed at the unspoiled vastness of the southern island with its majestic mountain ranges and forest. It is seemingly a land of untapped resources comparable to America back in the 1800’s. I wondered to myself, how has this most amazing place on earth been kept such a secret. Is it because The God of Israel has placed a reserve over it for a certain latter day purpose? Then, as we crossed over to the north island I was equally stunned by the extent of production coming from this little island. New Zealand is a nation of only 4 million people, yet has over 40 million sheep. Needless to say, they are a major exporter of agricultural products, and with many dairies and beehives, it is literally a land flowing with milk and honey. New Zealand also has major deposits of the world’s purest goldfields, but I can’t help but “beelieve” that even their Parliament will know that their richest role is to simply show New Zeal for The God of Israel.

In fact, the Bible has foretold that the Islands of New Zealand will become the most glorious illuminating factor initiating the rise of Israel, and will be God’s servant to bring about the physical and spiritual restoration of His chosen nation. As the Lord now turns His back on the Christian anti-Semitic nations and finally faces Israel in His grace, New Zealand must hear their calling and hearken to their role.

Isaiah 49:1,3,6 “Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken ye people, from far; The Lord hath called me from the womb…..And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified….And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.”

In addition to New Zealand being a tool in God’s hand to restore and renew the Jewish people to a place of honor in the day which burns as an oven, these far off islands will also become a place of salvation for a remnant of Gentiles. As America falls, a few thousand Christian Zionists here will be looking for a new home. Isaiah again foretold that this day of the upside down world (when nations are breaking up Israel’s land and scattering their citizens) would “in turn” be a day of the scattering abroad of the world’s inhabitants.

Isaiah 24:1 “Behold, the Lord maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.

There is another scripture which predicts a gathering of people out of the nations which will come to New Zealand to ride out the storm of God’s vengeance. These are the faith-filled believers who (like Noah) were warned of things to come, and moved in fear. The Bible defines that these Zionists are then further called to declare Israel’s repair from down there in Aotearoa.

Jeremiah 31:10-11 “Hear the word of the Lord, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock. For the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he.”

Perhaps El Kanah (Jealous God) has predestined that this down-under nation of Aotearoa will rise up and show exactly what its name implies: new zeal. The timing could not be better, as America abandons and divides the land of Israel. I think God’s word today to all the nations pushing the roadmap plan would be, “When you steal – then I will zeal”. This is also where and when the Maori people will find their true calling. Never before have I seen a people so intense, and you talk about being able to display zeal, now they are the real deal. I foresee the Maori rising up and displaying to the world the intensity and zeal which the disciples saw displayed in Christ that day of the Jewish Passover. I believe the Maori are sitting on a volcano of God’s pent up jealous love just waiting to erupt into a zealous shout for The God of Israel (more on that subject later).

The Lord has likewise ordained that the zeal of His house Israel should come to Christ’s church in Christchurch. As the church of the Lord on these distant shores chooses to come on board with His Zionistic views, He can then begin to use this great city. Therefore, there is also in store a personal time of restoration for this city called by His name. Allow me to say that Christchurch, New Zealand will eventually be rebuilt and will reveal to an upside down world, their New Zeal for The God of Israel.

But wait, first there is a big shake. Remember that Isaiah 24 foretold that “the shaking of an olive tree” would happen as a signal that the new wine time has officially expired. But why? you might sigh. Because Christ’s original plan was to establish His church to be a supporter of the land and people of Israel. In fact, the church was birthed from the root of this simple truth, and as an unnatural olive tree we were engrafted to be their covering. This is shown in Zechariah 4 by the image of the candlestick (the State of Israel’s national seal) with two olive trees standing on the side of this menorah. Christchurch, New Zealand is one of those olive trees which today is being shaken because they have forsaken their Jewish foundation and vocation. But in all truth, Christ’s church worldwide has seemingly abandoned Israel’s side and rather takes up the Palestinian lie. Nevertheless, this last wild olive tree down there in NZ is the first church (so far) to reap this self-induced curse, and today is consequentially being given a great shake. This, in turn, also signifies that the new wine has had its time, and Christianity itself will now be refined by an extensive tribulation time. At the same time, the Lamb has become the Lion and will turn His face to Zion.

Time For A Facial

The human face is a unique creation and no two can be viewed as the same. I believe the face of humanity is the amazing signature proof of an artisan God who has meticulously hand painted each and every curve and line of this face of yours and mine. If you really stop and look at it, the face alone does show just about everything about who you individually are. It holds all our personality, displays our every emotion, and is the ultimate expression of how the world views us. If you are happy and you know it, your face will likely show it. On the other hand, some people have perfected the art of putting on a good face even during times of disgrace. Then there are those who are just down-right two faced, and will pretend to be a friend but will betray you with a grin. Ironically, America has become two-faced in our Middle Eastern policies as we say we are Israel’s friend, then broker away their land. But what America and the Quartet nations will quickly see is that that Messiah can also be two-faced.

In fact, there is a story in the Brit Chadashah (New Testament)

that defines a time when this Lord of mine will go up and get a facial. You probably know it as the transfiguration story where Jesus took Peter and company to show them His glory. Webster’s dictionary describes the word transfiguration as a change in form or appearance. It can further be defined as an exalting, glorifying, or spiritual change. It seems like a very relevant word for today as so many things have changed in my lifetime alone, most of which have not been positive transfigurations. This word “change” is a favorite slogan used by political campaigns as well, as they face the seated incumbent. With that said, HaShem is likewise kicking off His campaign for change, and today a major transformation is on the Way. Because the current leaders of the churches and governments of our world have turned away from Israel, there will now be a world of change as Messiah ultimately responds by simply turning His face. This heavenly facial is scripturally promised to be cheeky as the gentle Lamb now turns and burns as the heated God of justice and judgment.

Matthew 17:1-2 “And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart, And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun…”

What many miss in this text is the prophesy pointing to a future day when Jesus would change and become the heated defender of the land and people of Israel. Even fewer realize that it will be this time of God’s vengeance which will likewise change the hearts of His own brethren to also finally see Him as Messiah. For centuries Jewish sages have seen the promise of a coming Messiah who will bring salvation for the nation and people of Israel. Upon further study, this hope of Messiah seems to divide itself into two very different messianic faces and theological figures. The scriptures themselves speak of a Messiah that will come in great power and strength and rule from the mountain top of Yerushalayim with a rod of iron smiting those who oppose God’s land and people, and establishing Zionism and the kingdom of David again upon the earth. This promised One is called Messiah Ben David (Messiah, the Son of David).

In another view, the Holy Scrolls also point to the promise of a suffering servant who would go through hardship and pain and resultantly come to power the hard way…from the bottom up. This Messiah is seen to come from Joseph’s lineage and must first be betrayed by his own brethren, be thrown in the pit, be falsely accused and wrongly imprisoned. But still will bring forth salvation for his family and nation through forgiveness and mercy. This promised One is known as the Messiah Ben Yoseph (Messiah, the Son of Joseph). Although the promise of the Messiah seems to be divided into two faces, Yeshua revealed in this, His glorious facial transfiguration, that He was not only the suffering servant rejected by His own nation, but would someday turn the other cheek and totally complete His future scriptural role as the God which Israel will know: the Messiah Ben David.

As this story implies, this transfiguration will take place as the high mountain of God is being challenged abroad. Notice Christ’s face became as the sun and His closest disciples were set apart to witness this (not raptured). It was there, in this mountainous place of solitude and separation, that two famous Tenach (Old Testament) prophets of Israel appeared to become witnesses of this time of change. Peter also would awake to state, “Let us build three booths (sukkas) one for our Christ and two for Elijah and Moses.”

In September of 2010, the Lord spoke to us and told us to go to New Zealand for the second time and minister there on the feast of Tabernacles. Not knowing anyone down there I knew it was going to take a miracle for this to happen. Sure enough, a man in California, who was originally from New Zealand, called me after getting my first book. God used him and the doors started opening for us to minister in NZ. We were invited to speak at both a Saturday Messianic service and then on a Sunday service which were both on the beginning days of the feast of Tabernacles. Our message detailed that the time of grace given to the Gentiles was drawing to an end, and Yeshua would next begin to turn His face back to the chosen race. Our message further condemned and challenged the old replacement theology which has historically had a stronghold in many of the churches of New Zealand. But perhaps what intrigued me most was that HaShem would send us to this distant coast precisely on the feast of Tabernacles. It was further confirmation to me of the importance of the Jewish festivals, and a sign of His desire to now tabernacle with Israel. This also enlightened me to see a specific calling for NZ to be a temporary Jewish dwelling during the Lord’s time of change.

Allow me to plainly say that the nation of New Zealand is being mixed into the equation of Jesus’ transformation. Strangely enough, as Adonai rises up high for the mountain of Zion, He will also swing down low and awaken those in this last place on earth to become the first to distance themselves from the curse. It is further these specific isles in the Pacific which HaShem has called to be the witnesses (and announcers) of Messiah’s facial. Later in this book we will look more specifically into two new ministries which are biblically detailed to begin at the end in New Zealand, even as Jesus turns the other cheek. These two ministries are personified in the lives of Moses and Elijah and will include a time changing Passover event (as HaShem’s ultimate anger vent) and a plague forced exodus which is soon to start even while Elijah turns the heart of the Jews to Yeshua.

Now then, as the Lamb rises again (but this time for the Jewish people and their land) we are told that He will become the Lion of the tribe of Judah. Please see the transformation in this statement. A lamb is a gentle and meek animal, but a lion is a bold and aggressive predator. So, as the nations prey upon Zion, we will see the Lord transfigure into the Lion that will tear into pieces those nations that broke up Israel. With that said, there is another very drastic transfiguration which must quickly take place within the church and state of New Zealand. A change from Christian anti-Semitic beliefs into Christian Zionistic actions is needed by those seated in the pews. Perhaps then will those in the state also begin to make pro-Israel statements.

It is painfully evident that most churches in the world have historically failed to appreciate the Jewish role in the salvation of their soul. Perhaps this explains why today there are so many leaders of the state that are making the dreadful “mis-stake” of pressuring Israel to compromise on the size of their God given land. Perhaps even predicted in this story of Jesus’ transfiguration, there might only be a select few (among the nations) who will actually view Yeshua’s time of change and then quickly do the same. Nevertheless, as this story addresses, there will be at least (and at last) one nation that will undergo a fast transfiguration and distance itself from America’s roadmap for peace devastation. As Jesus’ face begins to burn like a range, maybe then even other nations will begin to change their political views.

Perhaps it is simply geographically ordained that these distant Kiwis should be the first to see the rising Sun as He obviously becomes El Kanah (Jealous God). I also believe New Zealand is scripturally referenced in this transformation story by the reference of the bright clouds that overshadowed (with glory) the three disciples that day. As I have said before, if you want to experience an amazing cloud show then go visit New Zealand. If you do, I can guarantee you too will agree with the Maori who named this amazing land Aotearoa, (the land of the long white cloud). In fact, perhaps it was ordained way back that the Maori should be the ones to hear God’s voice in this message that came out of the cloud.

Matthew 17:5 “While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.”

The transfiguration story was a prophetic outline of the time when the Messiah Ben Yoseph would change into the role of Messiah Ben David. Now as Jesus becomes Yeshua two other things will change: His face and His grace. For centuries now the Hebrews have been disdained and shamed by the masses, yet they have remained hopeful that things would someday change. In fact, at the end of each week the Jews pray and seek for the Lord to turn the other cheek and complete this role foretold. This Shabbat prayer has weekly been prayed over the children of Israel for literally centuries now, and has certainly set the stage for HaShem to turn His face and now shine His grace upon their chosen race.

Numbers 6:24-26 “The Lord bless thee, and keep thee. The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.”

Nonetheless, there is always a back side to every front side, and as the nations now collide with HaShem’s restoring plans for His people and lands, many will “go back” in prosperity and technology. Plainly said, now Yeshua will turn His head toward His own, but His back on those who should have known that He is The God of Israel. As a matter of fact, this has been a Middle Eastern custom since way back. There, the showing of one’s face displays favor, acceptance, and grace. But should you want to demonstrate both anger and hate, then turn your butt about and make your enemy see both your disdain and the name on your jeans.

In the transfiguration experience, not only did the disciples see the future role of Messiah, they also saw the change on His Jewish mug which was said to have shined as the sun. This certainly was predicting the time when Messiah would finally turn and shine His face in grace to the chosen race. However, as Messiah now arises (as the Sun) and His jealous fury comes up in His face, most other nations will be disgraced as they are forced to face the consequences of their backward anti-Semitic agendas. So, as the church has long said, the Lord is certainly coming “back”.

Still, this radiant facial time when Messiah will shine with new zeal on Israel was also shown to come with an invitation to some of the eastern sunrise nations. NZ could definitely be the first to see the rising Sun become the heated Jewish Defender. But, also remember that it is “time” for a facial. Or let me plainly say that as Jesus gives Way to Yeshua’s heated day that Israel will be repaid all the years, months, and days that were taken away as a part of the price paid for the Gentiles’ day of salvation. Christianity must now face the fact that The God of Israel has planned (since Way back) to give back what was taken from His people and nation. So again, please hear me fellow Christian: It is time for a facial! Soon all the world will be forced to face the fact that Yeshua is now rising up for the Jews, and they should too. Now for the land of the rising sun, a very specific role declaring Messiah’s heated transformation has been assigned, and it would be a bright idea for this sunrise nation of New Zealand to speak up (like Peter did) for the long persecuted nation and people of Israel. Aotearoa has also been given the responsibility of housing these two very important ministries defined in Moses’ and Elijah’s lives.

Matthew 17:4 “Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

Another reference to New Zealand in this story is how Jesus only chose a few close disciples to understand and experience His glorious transfiguration, and then took them up into a mountain apart from the others. This too is a role God is giving to New Zealand (a nation of mountains) to similarly be a set apart people chosen to experience and understand this day of God’s new zeal for His land and people Israel. Most other nations are just not getting that personal revelation or this transfiguration invitation. Neither are they hearing this heavenly voice which is saying, “I Am turning my face to my own chosen race”. Perhaps this precious info was ordained to flow out of a long white cloud, in a land of high mountains, and to a people that are set apart from the remaining world.

I think the real revelation which the disciples got that day from witnessing Christ change so dramatically is best seen in Peter’s response, “Let us build them tabernacles”. As America and the Quartet nations continue their anti-Semitic march against the Jewish people, one of their most effective weapons has not only been the stealing of their lands, but also the freezes put upon their building projects. From apartments to schools, the continual extensions of the American forced moratoriums have all but left thousands of Jewish people homeless and the national growth at a continual stand still. The price of housing in Jerusalem has resultantly sky-rocketed, and now a simple apartment can cost over half a million U.S. dollars due to these continual forced freezes on construction. Ironically, the long observed annual festival of Tabernacles remembers the homelessness of the Jewish wanderings in the wilderness as the Jews are Torah instructed to construct make-shift booths (sukkas) and live in them for a week out of each year. Nevertheless, the Quartet nations continue their push for more Jewish homelessness, and a Messianic transfiguration will next interface with their actions. It is political sadness when nations tell another that they cannot build homes for their people, but it will be heavenly madness as it happens to the chosen people who have been homeless for two millennia even as a fee for the world to see the face of grace. But stay tuned and soon witness the transfiguration of their God as these housing freezes instead cause a worldwide housing crisis, and America’s moratoriums on Jewish construction resultantly brings more natural disasters and destruction back home. Simply stated, those nations which contemplated the deconstruction of HaShem’s chosen nation will now be forced to face the festival of Tabernacles, and in-turn, live in makeshift housing or tents of their own.

Today, as the face of Messiah turns to reveal His new zeal, it would be wise for the Beehive to study Peter’s buzz and begin to voice the same political position. In fact, I think a PPP amendment (Peter’s political policy) concerning Israeli construction should be proposed to show Aotearoa’s stance that the Jewish State should have every chance to build homes and tabernacles for their people in their land. The nations of the world would be well advised to not extend the last two thousand year building freeze placed upon these persecuted people. Israel is a tiny little stake in the world, but it is their little sukka (tent), and the Jews must be politically permitted to pitch it as they see fit, without the nations pitch-n a fit. Else Jesus will turn into a zealous God, whereby perhaps only a select few will make it through the transfigurations perpetrated upon their nations during this heated day of the rising Sun.

The key to national survival in this day of the Lord’s transfiguration was also displayed in Peter’s life: to wake up to the fact that He is The God of Israel and become a physical helper and vocal supporter of the nation and people thereof. I hope that the future New Zealand governments and their politicians will quickly transform their policies away from America’s anti-Semitic strategies and instead echo Peter’s revelation and simple say, “Let Israel build today”. Perhaps there is a Kiwi somewhere down there who is bold like Peter that should run for office and really stand for change before the Messiah has to. But in order for this individual to get elected there likely must first be a transfiguration within the elected church, and a change in the replacement theology thinking among these set-apart and chosen disciples of Aotearoa. If New Zealand was first to give equal rights to women and even gays, should they not again today raise the standard for a people and nation long discriminated against?

Isaiah 42:22-23 “But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore. Who among you will give ear to this? Who will hearken and hear for the time to come?”

For those Kiwis who do not realize it, New Zealand’s current political position concerning Israel’s right to their land mirrors that of the American State Department’s position defined in Bush’s roadmap for peace plan. This position clearly opposes Israel’s basic rights to simply build homes and businesses within areas of their own nation and has set out a clear agenda of pushing the returned Jews out of their God-given lands. Perhaps the recent earthquakes in these far off islands which has resulted in many Kiwi homes and businesses being demolished, is a shaking validation of the truth of God’s word which says that He will bless those who bless Israel, or curse those who curse Israel. This is not necessarily judgment from God, but rather the choice of the nation. The opposite choice would also evoke the blessing of Israel’s God; but again, there is a conscience decision that must be made. Either way, a transfiguration is on the Way, and the prompter New Zealand’s Parliament passes Peter’s prophetic political policies, the quicker the people thereof can find a place of peace and stability again. Add to the equation that New Zealand, as a nation, has one of the strongest biblical mandates from HaShem to support and stand with Israel, and the stage is set for a show down, down-under. I wonder who will break first?

At The Break Of Dawn

Twenty nine years ago I met a little young girl who became the sunshine of my life. We were both just 16 years old but we thought we were grown for sure. I married this little girl and she has not only become the love of my life, but also the mother of my two amazing children. Ironically, her middle name is Dawn and I find it so fitting as to the light she brings into my life each and every morning. However, there is another dawn that I have been seeing here lately and another beautiful marriage which is being proposed as a new day begins to beak forth upon the horizon of the eastern sky. This is the marriage between Israel and New Zealand.

Peter was so shaken by his mountain top experience where he witnessed the glorious transfiguration of the Messiah that he would write about it in his second epistle. There, Peter speaks of a new day beginning and details a specific “dawn” coming forth out of a time of darkness. He further challenges us to open our hearts and allow this certain “day star” to rise with respect in our eyes. I believe the dawn Peter saw beyond could certainly be referencing this coming dark night that will help the church get its theology right. Whereas darkness is a prerequisite to every dawn, we are also insured that each new day always begins in the same way…in the east. Perhaps for this reason alone this next season will first be shown to the rising sun nation of New Zealand. My prayer is that the good folk down there will not only heed, but also lead the world out of its time of despair by breaking away from America’s dark anti-Semitic agendas.

2 Peter 1:18-19 “And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. We have also a more sure word of prophesy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts.”

After Peter witnessed Messiah’s amazing transformation, he gained the precious insight that there would come a specific night when the humble gentle Lamb (whom he had been around) would turn around in a major paradigm shift and next rise up as the mighty Lion of Zion. Peter described this coming time of Messianic change as a day dawning, or as the sun arising. These descriptions are very prophetic as to how and where HaShem will begin this new time of zeal which He has long sequestered for the house of Israel. Did Peter see New Zealand (the place of the rising of the sun) become the first nation of the world to enter the day of God’s zeal for the house of Israel? And, will it take a period of literal darkness for the world to respect the importance of the light of the nations, Israel? If for no other reason other than time, New Zealand will be the first nation to enter the day of the Lord and respectfully become the first nation illuminated to the fact that the God of the sun, moon, and stars has always been the Star of David since way back. Whereas New Zealand is also said to have been the last nation discovered on the earth, the scriptures predict that the last shall be first, and perhaps even spoke of New Zealand’s unique calling to become the first nation to fully stand for the chosen.

Matthew 20:16 “So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called but few chosen.”

Therefore, it can be said that New Zealand has been chosen by the Lord as the last nation on the earth to be first to both see and experience this glorious new day dawning, and the Sun arising. Peter tells us that we would do well to take heed unto the prophesy of this new time when Yeshua rises as the blazing Sun to defend Israel’s land and people. However, I am sorry to inform you that there is no sun-block available which will protect you from this rising heat of God’s vengeance. The only real hope for the nations (as Peter suggested) is for them to immediately take heed and concede that He has a new day coming forth for His chosen seed. As sure as the sun, He will now arise to open all eyes to the fact that He is The God of Israel whom the nations despised.

On September 3, 2010 New Zealand got its first real glimpse of the breaking forth of this new day dawning as a 7.1 magnitude earthquake dramatically shook the beautiful old city of Christchurch. Because it came in the wee hours of the morning, no one was killed, yet the older part of the city was extensively injured. Ironically, most of the damage was seen the worst on the older structures of the replacement theology churches. Yet that should not be surprising as Peter foretold that this “breaking of the dawn” would first be seen upon the house of God.

1 Peter 4:17 “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?”

Today, this new day dawning for the nation and people of Israel is breaking forth as we speak and not one human soul can prevent what is foretold. Unless the nations can figure out how to stop the sun from dawning, there will be no way to delay this time of restoration which is now shining forth for the house of David. In fact, I believe this new day of the rising Sun was actually initiated with this September 3, 2010 quake which hit a city on the far eastern edge of time, at the bottom (or last place) on earth, in the morning hours, in a city which is called by the name of the Lord, which represents such wrong doctrinal teachings from a largely anti-Semitic Christian church. Perhaps the fallen steeples and the fractured old church walls are actually symbolizing the crack of dawn, and the beginning of judgment at the house of God.

But don’t get upset by the use of this word, judgment, for the Bible says that Adonai corrects those whom He loves. If He did not love the Christchurch Christian church, He would not care enough to correct this city and church which bear His name. Even in spite of New Zealand’s parliamentary passing of a law prohibiting the disciplining of children, they cannot change the law of the eternal God which states that He will spank those whom He loves. In fact, the cracks which now run down the Canterbury plains and up the anti-Semitic Christian churches therein are evidence that HaShem still corrects them He loves, and is further a signal that a new day is certainly “breaking” forth.

It is as if the hand of the Lord is now shaking to awaken these special people to the specific plan and purpose which He has for New Zealand. Please also be encouraged, you inhabitants of Christchurch, for the trouble you are experiencing is a clear call from the Lord to return to Him and surrender to His plans. Once you do, He too will turn and leave an amazing blessing behind Him. Be encouraged that He loves you first and foremost, that is why His correction has first been seen upon your city. I hear Him speaking two words of love to you now: “Return to me and I will heal your city, repent for your anti-Semitic words and actions and I will heal your nation.”

Like each and every day that has ever been given to this world, so too will the new season of God’s favor upon the nation of Israel begin at the crack of dawn. New Zealand, as the last, just may be the first nation in the world to experience this dawning day of judgment. Yet if they will break away from America and Britain’s anti-Semitic political policies, a new day can and will begin for this chosen nation. God has long planned for this day of the Jews to begin with the breaking of this dawn (or the farthest eastern nation) and personally spoke of it in the oldest book of the Bible.

Job 38:12-13 “Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days;

and caused the dayspring (also interpreted as the dawn) to know his place; That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?”

Notice the reference to this new day dawning to actually take hold of the end of the earth and shake it. New Zealand is that end of the earth place which the Almighty referenced here, and there definitely has been some shaking going on down-under. Why is this shaking taking place, you ask? Well, this scripture says so that the wicked might be shaken out of this divinely called city which will shine forth God’s love and zeal for Israel. Ok, but who exactly are the wicked that are referenced there? Good question! Allow me to explain, or rather prove to you who exactly this scripture is referencing.

On February 22, 2011 the beautiful city of Christchurch, New Zealand was again shaken with a 6.3 magnitude earthquake. Unlike the first one, a few months earlier, this lower magnitude quake actually resulted in greater damage, and regretfully, the loss of 181 lives. Once again most of the damage was seen in the older buildings and the eerie theme of churches bearing the brunt of this damage seemed to again signify that judgment was beginning at the house of God (even as Peter warned two thousand years earlier). Yet a further place of extreme damage was this time seen in a newer building in the center of Christchurch called the Canterbury Television Building. The CTV building was a 6 story, well built structure, yet it totally collapsed killing 16 of its 27 employees, and was single-handedly responsible for over half of the 181 total deaths which occurred during this shaking. Was there some divine reasoning behind the fall of this specific building and could the resulting fatalities have been avoided?

The Canterbury Television Building was just that: a building which housed the television stations which cover the Canterbury airwaves with 6 different types of programming, one of which is a program called Al Jazeera Television. For those who do not know, Al Jazeera is a Muslim/Arab originated channel which is extremely anti-Semitic in its propaganda and very anti-Christian in its doctrinal beliefs. Al Jazeera TV represents everything evil in the eyes of the Eternal and is founded upon the dark principles contained within the Koran. I believe its secret agenda is to indoctrinate its viewers to oppose Israel as a nation and to further accept the principles of Sharia law. This station (in my agricultural view) even goes as far as to cultivate Jihad (holy war) against Judeo-Christian beliefs and societies. Please understand that I am not against the Arab people who are a very important part of what the Lord will do in these next times, (more on that subject later) but I am opposed to the dark Islamic veil that has been spread across these beautiful people. Ironically, much of Christianity today has the same anti-Semitic “burqa” covering our minds. Perhaps this explains how this dark cloud of Jewish bigotry gained approval and consent to be broadcast over the beautiful plains of New Zealand’s Canterbury, unchecked and unchallenged, even by most of the Christian inhabitants thereof. Meanwhile, another unknown fault line began rising to the surface from under the Canterbury plains to effectively shake this ungodly filth from off the surface of this chosen city called as Christ’s church. Nevertheless, it is my understanding today that the owners of the Canterbury TV station are committed to rebuilding and continuing the airing of this dark cloud into the airwaves of “the land of the long white cloud.” Now I am not a meteorologist, but I do know that when such opposite air begins to clash, there will be a colliding uplift and usually a violent storm is the result. Will the people of the Canterbury today rise up instead and boycott the airing of Al Jazeera TV? Or will they instead continue to ignore and allow these Islamic views to be mixed into the long white cloud of pure air which covers this beautiful nation? If this darkness is allowed to continue, I prophesy that the shakings will too, until the wicked are cast out of the land which since the beginning of time has been ordained to show forth New Zeal for The God of Israel.

Job 38:6-10 “Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? Or who laid the cornerstone thereof; When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it broke forth, as if it had issued out of the womb? When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it, And broke up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors.”

These scriptures are more of those which are in content with the high calling which The God of Israel has preordained for the nation and people of New Zealand. In this particular text He not only referenced “the land of the long white cloud” but also foretold the Muslim and anti-Semitic Christian darkness that would try to come in to steal the zeal from the land of Aotearoa. Yet this scripture also says that this “swaddling-band of darkness” will be broken off as God moves the foundations of the earth in this specific location referenced as a place where the cornerstone was laid (or Christchurch). This is just Adonai’s fancy way of saying that when Al Jazeera TV begins to cover “the land of the long white cloud” then He will shake the city of Christchurch until that darkness is broken off and those wicked are cast out of this chosen city and nation. He also decrees this cornerstone city of Christchurch as His own chosen place and declares He will shut it up like a door with bars upon it and protect it from the tsunami of anti-Israel sentiment which has covered the nations. In fact, there is also the reference to an actual tsunami, which simultaneously comes in like a flood over other cities around the world which likewise have joined the Islamic cause. But this verse tells that Christchurch may be protected from those waves of judgment if they positively respond to His shake-up call. Simply stated, this cracking of the dawn is to awaken those who yawn to the calling upon this specific city. To know and understand their role as Christ’s church and immediately distance themselves from the curse by becoming one of the first cities in the world to side with a nation long despised.

Isaiah 62:1 “For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, (also interpreted as the dawn) and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.”

This scripture details that the righteousness and salvation of Zion and Jerusalem will ultimately begin at the break of dawn. But perhaps what this verse is further warning is that there will be no rest and peace for this eastern “dawn” until they proclaim the same for another city called by His name, Jerusalem. Again, the first step must be the staying of those proud Al Jazeera air waves from flowing out of a city which should instead be showing new zeal for The God of Israel. But the church must be first to reverse this self-induced curse and break away from replacement doctrines. Make no mistake about it, a new day for Israel is on the way (just as this break of dawn indicates). Oh how I pray today that this beautiful city and people may find their place both in time and space and begin to embrace God’s chosen race, instead of Al Jazeera.

Job 38:11-13 “And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed. Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring (dawn) to know his place; That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?”

Clear the Air

If you have ever been fortunate enough to breathe the air of New Zealand, I think you would agree with me that the air down there is of high quality. They say this is the result of a natural phenomenon created from air flowing up from under Antarctica which has been cleansed and refined by the frigid icecap thereof. Perhaps it can also be attributed to the many mountains therein or maybe even New Zealand’s efforts to protect its pure environment. Regardless of how or why, it is one of the greatest assets (in my opinion) to this nation which is especially blessed in so many ways. However, as we previously explored, there is currently a dark corrupt stench going up into these pure airwaves which is spreading over these islands. Nevertheless, the word of the Lord long ago addressed that the air over New Zealand would be prophetically used to sing in this new day of the Lord with a new song.

Isaiah 42:10-11 “Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof. Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.”

Perhaps this new song which is to be sung from the islands, at the end of the earth, and from the top of mountains, will go something like this: Praise the Lord God of Israel who is coming to reveal His zeal for the nation and people of Israel. Perhaps these new songs will include this old pertinent information that HaShem is jealous for His nation and will now roar like a man of war.

Isaiah 42:12-13 “Let them give glory unto the Lord, and declare his praise in the islands. The Lord will go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea roar; he shall prevail against his enemies.”

As the Lord goes forth in jealousy for His nation Israel it would be a good idea for the air over New Zealand to be cleansed from the Al Jazeera propaganda that is currently being allowed to spread hatred and lies about the Jews. Perhaps the most important reason is simply because this “land of the long white cloud” (and the atmosphere thereof) has a heavenly calling to declare the praises of The God of Israel. Further scriptural proof of New Zealand air being used down there to declare this new day for Israel through new songs is seen a few chapters over in Isaiah and is actually referred to as a calling placed upon this island nation and people from far. Notice below the catch words which certainly refer to New Zealand: isles, people from far, and mountains.

Isaiah 49:1,13 “Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The Lord hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name…….Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the Lord hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted.”

This scripture in Isaiah commands for the Isles of New Zealand to first hear, then declare the mercy which God will now show to His own people and nation of Israel. This declaration of restoration for HaShem’s chosen nation is said to be done in song. Isaiah expands on this concept of using these far off islands (and the people therein) and further details that NZ will also be used to bring the Jewish people back to Him. Then he attaches the great Genesis 12 reward to the islands for having been chosen to perform such an amazing service for The God of Israel.

Isaiah 49:5 “And now, saith the Lord that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the Lord, and my God shall be my strength.”

New Zealand is paradoxically called as the last nation in the world to shine forth the first rays of this new day of Israel’s restoration. Furthermore, the people therein will likewise find their ultimate destiny to HaShem as they truly begin to befriend (and even take in) the Jewish remnant. Whereas these people from far are to star in bringing the Jewish remnant from far, it is the air down there that will be used to declare the beginning of Israel’s times of repair during the Gentile nations’ despair. But again, the singing part must start with the clearing of the air.

Aotearoa’s role of singing a new song was long ago commissioned by the Lord to signify this new day of God’s vengeance upon the nations and His new day of favor upon Israel. In fact, when you begin to hear these new songs going out from the outback you should prepare for the beginning “times” of tribulation, which could last for 400 plus years. As these seals begin to be broken and the book of Revelation is opened, this new song will be sung and a new time will have begun.

Revelation 5:9 “And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation.”

So, please note that tribulation will begin with this new song. It would seem that Messiah’s judgment will have its own theme. It makes sense to me that as Jesus turns the other cheek to complete Yeshua’s role (the Messiah that Israel will know) that there will also be sang a new song. The Bible explains that this theme song will be sung by the “redeemed” out of all the world’s many different tribes. This word “redeemed” seems to further set the tone that judgment will be shown in connection with the return of lands. We will explore this concept more later.

Another interesting fact to geographically attach to the scriptural prophesy of new songs sounding the dawning of Israel’s redemption is that of a church in Australia led by Pastor Brian Houston which is strategically placed in both location and time, named Hillsong Church. The music which is coming from down-under there is amazingly anointed and without compare. The Bible declared there would be singing on the mountains and songs upon the hills of these end-of-the-earth nations to signify the beginning of Revelation. The word also details that The God of Israel will do a new thing as those down-under begin to sing. In fact, the Lord will put His finger on the doorbell of the house of Israel and will begin to ring even while the ends of the earth sing about Zion’s redeeming.

Psalms 98:1-3 “O sing unto the Lord a new song; for he hath done marvelous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory. The Lord hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly showed in the sight of the Gentiles.

He hath remembered his mercy and his truth towards the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.”

This one scripture explains that the time of God’s salvation for the Gentile nations is near completion and that a new day will start in a new way through new songs that say, “I am The God of Israel who gave them away so that the Gentiles could find their Way.” However, we must also realize that today we are actually only half-Way done, and the nations of the rising sun must next announce the fact of Messiah’s second act. Simply said, Jesus will now be revealed as Yeshua, and instead of dread and the trail of tears, this Messiah will bring forth revival for all the tribes, and restore the years.

Revelation 5:5 “And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not:

behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah…”

In fact, it will be those tribes which did weep which will now reap in this next season of judgment and Revelation. For this reason is the Lion referenced in His tribe as He will now revive (and even thrive) those who have survived among certain of the world’s tribes. Included in this tribal restoration plan would be all those who have had their lands taken out of their hands by covenant breaking governments. These redeemed which will sing certainly will include the American Indians, the New Zealand Maori, and the Australian Aborigines. Another words, the common theme in this singing is seen in the word “redeem” which connects the return of land to God’s salvation plan. Therefore, these songs which will go up from these who were oppressed down-under will contain some personal thunder as these indigenous people can certainly relate to the rape of lands. Perhaps this is why Yeshua is revealed as tribal, and explains the new zeal which other native peoples will feel for His personal tribes of Israel as well.

But could the years of suffering and pain among the natives have been ordained so that they might now legitimately proclaim restoration for HaShem’s chosen nation. Or allow me say it like this: Unless you have suffered affliction you will have no real conviction for those who have. For this reason will Messiah’s new season be led with songs of passion by those tribes which now feel compassion for what has historically happened to their fellow tribesmen, the Jews.

To The Chief Musician

There are 55 Psalms which begin with the phrase, “To the chief musician”. Strangely enough these 55 songs seemed to foretell all the hell which Israel would persevere as their God turned away from them to share His salvation unto the Gentile nations. However, these Psalms also contain a warning of judgment upon the same land stealing Gentile nations, and details this next phase of the raising up of God’s rod and tribes. Ironically, these songs were commanded to be sent to the “chief” musician. Now as we enter this time of judgment and the seals begin to be broken off the book of Revelation, we are shown that before the throne of God are 24 elders that are put in charge of singing in this next phase of time.

Revelation 5:4,9 “And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting…And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation.”

I fully believe that these 24 elders are chiefs from the different tribes of the indigenous peoples who were likewise oppressed by the powerful folk who spoke (and then broke) promises. These 24 elders very possibly could be these different tribal leaders who all similarly witnessed the fall of their people and saw the stealing of their lands by the church-going, covenant-breaking white man. Nevertheless, through the pain and suffering their peoples have been exercised by, a legitimate claim to HaShem’s name has likewise came to many of these natives. I perceive that to see God’s full gospel plan you must have first personally experienced sufferings of your own. In order for these elders to be seated around the throne of the One whom was rejected of His own, these leaders must surely have likewise known demise. Yet through this pain they have gained both knowledge and position with the compassionate God. In fact, Job (another man trained in the school of hard knocks) was able to feel conviction and zeal for what would come to these tribes of the earth during the first half of the gospel plan.

Job 12:24 “He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way. They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man.”

To me, this scripture is describing the taking away of the lands from the different native peoples of the earth. I know personally that my land is my life and it would certainly be like ripping my heart out if it were taken from me. Job ironically described exactly what would be prescribed on these different tribes and even detailed the despair and drunkenness which would result among the men thereof. For these different native tribes which had such freedom and expanse of territory to be rounded up and sent to confinement areas was mass hysteria for all. Nevertheless, what Job did not address was the rest of the story and the return of their lands and glory during the second half of the full gospel story.

But before these natives are fully personally restored, their personal conviction will sing about the restoration of HaShem’s chosen nation, Israel. Now get a mental picture of these 24 elders of the tribes of the earth (which had their dirt taken and their wives and children slaughtered) singing a new song while calling upon Yeshua’s long awaited judgment to begin. Likewise, try to understand the connection between the land and HaShem’s redeeming plans to see why these elders now have an eternal connection to the Hebrews and their God.

Revelation 5:9-10 “And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred (also interpreted as tribe), and tongue, and people, and nation. And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.”

Whereas most Christians today are somewhat offended by these things I say, you still owe it to yourself to try to appreciate HaShem’s higher ways. Just whom do you presume He will select to sing about what is coming next? Will it be those who were prosperous and have experienced great success? Or those who went through hell on earth and are the definition of oppressed? Now if I correctly understand the personality of the Son of Man, it will be those who lost the most who will be called up close to this Lord of host. Therefore, it will be the weepers of the past which will ultimately be the singers at the last, in El Kanah’s choir. Perhaps this is why these specific Psalms of the oppressed were addressed to the chief musicians.

To the chief musician: Psalms 22:1 “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?…”

Whereas the American Indians, the Aotearoa Maori, and the Australian Aborigines certainly all fit in the context of these Psalms of pain, the same were actually written to explain (and detail) all the hell that was to be perpetrated against the tribes of Jacob. Consequently, when the Lord went to select these song leaders that would introduce the new day of favor for His elect, HaShem chose those who similarly were exposed to hatred and theft. Yet by so selecting these “chief” musicians, El Kanah has insured a heart-felt song to go along with the breaking of the seals. In fact, to reveal His second act, Messiah has selected those who have personal reason to sing of this new season with an intense new zeal. Jeremiah likewise prophesied that it would be these “chiefs of the nations” that will sing and shout about the salvation which will next happen for HaShem’s chosen nation.

Jeremiah 31:7 “For thus saith the Lord; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O Lord, save thy people, the remnant of Israel.”

These new songs are ultimately meant to set the tone for The God of Israel’s new zeal which He now feels for this old nation of His. These new songs will further signify the fact that the full gospel has reached the outback and is now ready to go back. That is to say, there is coming a new day when that which came out of Zion will return, and mercy will next be shown to God’s own. But again, HaShem wants those end-of-the-earth believers who are receivers of the Jewish Messiah to sing now a new song and bring it all home in this correct tone. However, I doubt it will be those Christians under their high steeples, but rather the indigenous peoples who understand firsthand what it means to lose their lives and lands. I predict it will be the Maori and Aborigine that will fully see these truths and ultimately be the first to put to verse such songs. As they do, the world and the element thereof will chime in too, and will likewise play a part in the changing of Israel’s heart. In fact, the sea itself will rise up and give a standing ovation as The God of Israel now turns to His own chosen nation.

Psalms 98:1,7-9 “Sing unto the Lord a new song…Let the sea roar, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together before the Lord; for he cometh to judge the earth…”

So, you should know that a new song will go forth declaring God’s time of judgment, and even the tsunamis will clap their hands with the rhythm of the beat as they wash down the streets of our world to signify the first half of the gospel complete. Look for certain tribes to simultaneous be revived and begin to thrive as they describe the new zeal which they and HaShem both feel for Israel. This new time ushered forth with these new songs is also said to be accompanied along with the roaring of the oceans which in their own forceful way will also begin to say, “That was The God of Israel’s land which yall gave away”.

Chapter 5

The Call of the Church?

Every born again believer upon acceptance of Yeshua (Jesus) receives a calling upon their lives. Many live out their lives never fully surrendering or finding this calling. Nevertheless, every Christian will eventually confess that it was there, even if they were unaware (or unwilling). The church itself is called to be the body of Christ with authority and a heavenly responsibility to do the will of God in the earth. As I have previously mentioned, the Christian church’s first and foremost role is to be supportive of the nation and people of Israel. After all, in a world full of anti-Semitic forces, if we (as adopted siblings) do not stand with these despised people and hated nation, who in the world will? As Paul said: “If we have received of them spiritual things, it then becomes our duty to provide for them in the physical things.” This would and should include a physical homeland. Nonetheless, it is obvious to me that a large part of Christianity does not address this calling. But what about New Zealand today? Is the church way down there at all aware or even care about this old fight over the rights to the Promise Land? Whereas there are some Zionistic minded churches and a remnant of Ruth type Christians which understand their redemption connection to Israel’s land, there is a larger group in New Zealand that has twisted this call and call it CAII.

Churches Agency on International Issues (CAII) is a group of churches in New Zealand that formed a partnership which promotes the division of Israel from their God-given lands while vocally supporting and financially empowering Israel’s self-proclaimed enemy, the Palestinian cause. We first should realize that the Palestinian people democratically voted in the terrorist group of Hamas which has since shot over 10,000 missiles into the Israeli public. Now I am not a rocket scientist, but I do know that this is not what The God of Israel had in mind when He placed a call upon His body, the church. Exactly what churches (you ask) are a part of this demonic attempt to destroy God’s chosen people and nation Israel? Well, since you asked I will tell you.

The Anglican Church in Aotearoa New Zealand and Polynesia, the Methodist Church of New Zealand, the Presbyterian Church of Aotearoa New Zealand, and the Salvation Army in New Zealand (Fiji and Tonga), are the four groups behind the Churches Agency on International Issues (CAII). If you visit their webpage, cwc.org.nz you will find a forty page document where CAII claims to remain neutral on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, yet is obviously very anti-Israel in the majority of their implications and statements. In a nutshell, these churches side with the American policy began by Jimmy Carter and later detailed in Bush’s roadmap for peace plan which calls for the division of Israel’s land. The CAII also believes that a two state solution is the way to resolve the Middle East issue for all sides. Ironically though, after 40 pages of detailed facts, CAII gave no real biblical references as to who this land was given to, nor any scriptures to support their religious position of calling for the division of the Holy Land. I personally expect churches to at least quote a few verses to me when defining their agendas in the name of God. Nevertheless, there was none to address their CAII. Instead, they repeatedly listed the positions of the anti-Israel United Nations and supported their own anti-Jew agenda with quotes from other anti-Semitic authors disputing Israel’s scriptural claim as the “chosen” and as the biblically defined owners of the Holy Land.

Since they did not, please allow me to speak the truth on this issue, and also about their so-called CAII. These church leaders are obviously anti-Semitic replacement theologians in demonic control of the Yeshua’s sacred church who have sold-out both their soul and role as the defenders of God’s chosen people. They have further sided on the side of darkness instead of the light from which they were made right with Israel’s God. They are deceived and want you to also believe their lie, calling the modern State of Israel, “the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories”. False teachers they are, clouds without rain, wolves who wish to pull the wool over your eyes while using your tithe to side with Satan. Be forewarned, if you support one of these four so-called Christian organizations, you are in danger in this changing day of God’s new zeal for Israel. And unlike CAII, here is the scriptural truth to support that statement.

Psalms 105:6-11 “O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen. He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all the earth. He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac; and confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant: saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.”

There actually was one truth I found stated on CAII’s website. It was a statement denoting that this issue (the Israeli-Palestinian conflict over the land) could divide the New Zealand church. Although these anti-Semitic Christian leaders probably didn’t mean to, they have prophetically declared the scriptural truth of Yeshua’s Matthew 25 midnight “call” for real Christian believers to come out of their anti-Semitic institutions. If you currently attend or support one of these goat-headed organizations who are ramming against God’s nation and people Israel, it is time to resign and find some real wine in the land where the Sun will rise and shine for a sign of Israel’s new “times”.

The previous scripture details that once the covenant of the land is broken, the judgment of Israel’s God will be seen in all the earth. Perhaps this brings to light another issue to consider in the recent devastation upon a city called by both the name of the Lord and as His church. Could this CAII of the churches in Christchurch have been a factor in the shaking of this city? Churches Agency on International Issues has a major presence in Christchurch and is the actual home base of their twisted call. As we now see the actual damages upon the Christchurch cathedral we should look between the lines into this Anglican Church’s faulty belief that Israel is an illegal occupier of Palestinian lands. This specific church has self-appointed it their calling to politically align themselves against Israel and their land lines. Thus, the Lion of the tribe of Judah has likewise risen into His calling and now their church building has fallen. Perhaps the top of this landmark initially collapsed as a result and signal to this city that the top of this church’s leadership has likewise fallen by calling Israel’s withdrawing as their so-called CAII(ing).

The previous image of Christchurch’s centerpiece of architecture (known as the Christchurch Cathedral) is shown in its own rumble after the February 22, 2011 earthquake. This Cathedral was the Christchurch home of the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand which is one of the four members of Churches Agency on International Issues (CAII). On CAII’s website, these churches call sections of Israel “occupied territory” while repeated sympathizing with the Palestinian plight. CAII further calls for a two state solution and an end to Israeli occupation. Ironically, these far off churches are now having to deal with issues a little closer to home instead of this international issue they call their CAII(ing). Below are a few more images which would seem to prove that Israel has a God-given right to their land and that the churches of the world should go with that plan.

The Knox Presbyterian Church in Christchurch, New Zealand is ruined by the recent earthquakes. Also a member of the CAII.

The New Brighton Union Church, Methodist/Presbyterian sustains severe damage during the February 22, 2011 earthquake. This church is under the headship of The Methodist Church of New Zealand which is one of the four members of the CAII.

Please hear me when I say, it doesn’t have to be this way. If the God-fearing individuals within these churches would rise up and correct (or cast out) their anti-Israel leadership, then the Lord could restore and renew His churches, and this amazing city. Unfortunately, there has been a lot of innocent people affected down there that are just kinda caught in the middle of this show down between El Kanah and these anti-Semitic leaders of His church. Not only are these church leaders denying their real call, but have even become an aggressive threat to HaShem’s restorative plans for the Jews. Under my calling of the Lord as an apostle, I now officially call for the resignation of these anti-Israel leaders of the CAII and ask the people of their respective churches to call for the same. I have been further commissioned to tell the good people of Christchurch that The God of Israel will not back down when it comes to Israel’s covenanted ground. If these church leaders refuse to defuse their agenda against the Jews, and rebuild or relocate to continue their call for Jewish withdrawal, then I can assure you that more buildings will fall. Worst of all, more innocent people could be caught in the middle of this show-down between the church and the Defender of Israel’s ground. Simply stated, the sooner these churches of Christchurch understand their true call, the sooner it will be better for all. If you hear nothing else I say, please understand and hear this one thing, “Israel’s boundaries are non-negotiable”. Even if these churches sincerely believe that giving away Israel’s land is the path to peace, I guarantee you there will be no peace for Christchurch, only more pieces. Besides all that, this city of Christchurch is not just another municipality. No, this place is called by His name, and has likewise been called to stand for Israel. However, because of the confused spiritual direction of the CAII there has now come correction on all.

Isaiah 24:10,12-13 “The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may come in. In the city is left desolation…When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and the gleaning of grapes when the vintage is done.”

Again, please understand that these cracks in the streets of a city called by His name (and church) are signifying the day of the Gentile nearly complete. However, this does not mean that HaShem is finished with this city of Christchurch. For the scriptures in Isaiah continue to define a realigned call upon yall in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Isaiah 24:14-16 “They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the Lord, they shall cry aloud from the sea.

Wherefore glorify ye the Lord in the fires (defined as the east), even the name of the Lord God of Israel in the isles of the sea. From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs.”

It is of upmost importance for Christchurch to realign themselves with the Lion of Zion and condemn the line being proposed in Yerushalayim. But what is HaShem to do if this city continues to shame His name? Make no mistake about the shakes, they are for Christchurch to awake and begin to make pro-Israel statements. In fact, the scriptures detail the fact that these remote folk in the isles are called to sing in the choir of God’s fire and thereby glorify the Lord God of Israel. That is to say, as Jerusalem is being given away and the Gentile cities resultantly begin to sway, there will be this revelation far away that the world has entered the day of the Lord. I believe this will be a time when HaShem will call His church to acknowledge the Jewish hurt (and dirt) as vital parts of our salvation plan. It should therefore be a calling upon Christ’s church to stand with these who He bruised (Hebrews) and further defend their right to live within their own land and capital city Jerusalem. Perhaps this is even the ultimate calling upon Christchurch, New Zealand. I believe if you will, then He will give approval to rebuild your city in splendid appeal, and will raise you up in His day of New Zeal.

Rise Up, Christchurch

On September 1, 2010 U.S. President Barak Obama hosted a Middle East peace summit in Washington DC. Attending dignitaries were Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and his four counterparts from the surrounding Islamic nations of Jordan, Egypt, Syria, and the Palestinian leader, Abbas. The subject of this meeting was again the division of the sacred land of Israel to satisfy some phantom peace deal which seems to continually be extended and reinvented even after the failed concessions of the past. The jest of this specific meeting was to again propose the division of the very heart of Israel and the Jewish people, better known as Jerusalem. By the end of the summit, it was reported that President Obama promised the Jordanian king that by this time next year, Jerusalem would become the new capital of a new Palestinian state. Ironically, the old saying held and spoken over the centuries by the millions in the Jewish Diaspora, “Next year Yerushalayim” now took on a sickening and disheartening new twist. Meanwhile, afar off in the isles, few knew the scriptural consequences associated with Obama’s statement on this dark day of September 1, 2010.

Within 24 hours of Obama’s promise to cut out the heart of the Hebrews (Jerusalem), another chosen city at the bottom of the ocean was divinely “raised up” into the equation and violently shaken with a major 7.1 magnitude earthquake. Christchurch, New Zealand, which is basically the furthermost removed city in the whole world from Israel’s capital, was suddenly brought side by side with Jerusalem in the upper headline news of current events. Was this a mere coincidence, or was there some heavenly connection and/or calling being awakened for these remote islands and this uttermost city on the bottom of the world?

Ezekiel 26:18 “Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall; yea, the isles that are in the sea shall be troubled at thy departure.”

Jerusalem and Christchurch, although on complete opposite sides of the earth, are closely connected by the simple fact that their names connect to that of the Lord’s. In addition, Jerusalem has long been recognized as the house of God, while Christchurch is obviously named for the same. Therefore, it should be further explained that these two cities, which share His name, likewise will split the same fate. Speaking of fatal splits, as Obama was hosting this Middle East conference to discuss splitting Jerusalem down the middle, the hosts of the Lord were simultaneously meeting in the middle of this eastern city of Christchurch to prepare for this shared split. What I am implying is that this first quake was simply a heavenly shake to awake this down-under city of Adonai to their shared fate with Jerusalem clear on the other side. I believe that these two cities, as far away as they are from each other in the physical, are now forever connected in the spiritual realm, and if Jerusalem falls, so could Christchurch. Therefore, it is imperative that the sleepy city of Christchurch rise up and become a vocal defender of HaShem’s local city, Jerusalem. Allow me to also state this shared fate: “If Jerusalem remains intact, and in the hands of the Jewish people, then there will be peace likewise for the streets of Christchurch.” This, in fact, was the original pact and the intended purpose (and ordered service) of Christ’s church.

Psalms 122:1,5-6 “I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord…For there are set thrones of judgment…Pray for the peace (shalom) of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.”

As we weekly go into our churches, the above verses say to pray for the “shalom” (peace) of Jerusalem. This one word (shalom) should stand alone to deter the modern day political stir of giving away half their Jewish capital. In fact, shalom means to be intact. Nevertheless, most laymen today refuse to address this prayer of success, which is ironically attached to the intactness of Yerushalayim. Rather sad, most have adopted replacement theology instead. Some church leaders are even believers of the anti-Semitic Muslim agenda which openly calls for the surrender of what they call “occupied territory”. But for this specific city which carries the responsibility of both Christ’s name and entity, and from a special nation whose calling is to reveal to the world their New Zeal, there would seem today to be no other way but to now rise up and say, “Jerusalem, the undivided capital city of the Jewish people”. Perhaps just a few pro-Israel views coming from the pews could bring some long needed rest for the rest, while some biblically-solid political actions could ensure much less liquefaction in this beautiful city (for Christ’s sake).

On a national scale, New Zealand is being called as well, and must now stand up in the United Nations assembly and boldly (even if solely) declare Israel as the sovereign Jewish nation with Jerusalem as their rightful, undivided capital city. Once this happens, and Aotearoa finally shows forth their New Zeal for The God of Israel, and the churches within “the land of the long white cloud” begin to be Jerusalem’s spiritual covering, then will the shakings subside, and the people down-under could rise to ride the blessing of the Lord. But, if Christchurch refuses her calling and sits idly by as the nations run a line through Yerushalayim, then judgment will continue to be laid to that same line, and the sea becomes liable to rise up next time.

Isaiah 28:17 “Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.”

Again, the transfiguration of our merciful Lord into a God of judgment rests upon this proposed line of division which the nations are now demanding upon the chosen city of Jerusalem. To date, over 120 nations have individually declared this city of God as a Palestinian state. The United Nations is in full agreement with this dark agenda, and only President Obama, and a threat of veto from the U.S.A. stands in the way of this evil getting its way to take away Jerusalem from the Jews. With that said, we should all dreadfully consider that this one city has long been the Creator’s own little personal place of the universe, and He (as a Jew) will personally see to the Jewish right and claim to the same. Simply stated, the Palestinians’ claim to Jerusalem is out dated by the Ancient of Days who proclaimed that He would lay judgment to the same line and initiate a time of intense sorrows. However, He also defined a reviving time of grace and mercy simultaneously released to the ones whom have long been considered the least.

Zechariah 12:9-10 “And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications; and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son…”

Basically, these scriptures define this time of the division of Yerushalayim as a “wet” time. For Israel, we are told that HaShem will pour out upon them a time of grace that will result in the flowing of many tears for the years of not seeing Yeshua’s scars. But on the other hand, according to Isaiah’s forecast, this judgment line (when crossed) will unfortunately come with the high cost of coastal demolition, as huge waves of disaster are biblically mentioned. But to be more specific, a certain location has been scripturally pinpointed as a target for these waves of judgment: “and the waters shall overflow the hiding place”. Where is the hiding place, you ask? First of all, know that America has historically been a place of refuge for many people over the last few hundred years. Even as the Statue of Liberty states, “Bring me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”

This Statue of Liberty was often the first thing that these huddled masses witnessed as they entered New York’s harbor of this new free world. What a grand promise Lady Liberty has proclaimed as America has voluntarily been a place of refuge for the refuse of the world. Even more specifically, America has been a hiding place for the Jewish masses, which have been cast out from nation after nation but finally found refuge (and a place of hiding) from the world’s anti-Semitic arms. Today there are over 6 million American Jews, many of which still choose to live under the shadow of America’s Lady Liberty, and quietly enjoy her upheld arm of promised refuge.

However, a new shadow is lurking over the harbor of New York and the East Coast regions of America of late. Lady Liberty’s torch of freedom has flickered, and it seems obvious that America is no longer willing to carry the torch as a true Israel supporter. Instead, America has adopted the ungodly policy of dividing Israel’s land and now continues to cause many to be homeless among the Jewish remnant of Israel, who have been the true definition of the world’s tempest-tossed for the last two centuries. This new torch of America’s roadmap for peace, which Lady Liberty now has upheld against Israel for nearly 40 years, will totally be extinguished if America doesn’t (or does) draw the line at Jerusalem.

Just how tall is Lady Liberty? Well since you asked I will check online while I have time: It is 305 feet from ground to torch tip. If Lady Liberty does not quickly drop her hand against Jerusalem, then a wave of the sea will come in and overflow the hiding place and quench this anti-Semitic fire that has found its way to the top of our American liberty. If a tsunami were to hit New York’s harbor one can only imagine the resulting devastation and loss of life within this region. I certainly do not want this to happen, yet the results of dividing Jerusalem and changing the Israeli map to include Palestinian states will most assuredly have ripple effects around the world.

So what does that have to do with New Zealand, you ask? Unfortunately, New Zealand has nonchalantly went with the flow and accepted America’s proposed division of Israel’s land as proper Middle East policy. For this anti-Israel position, and for going with the flow, another couple of cities could “bee” targeted to go with the flow as well. It is a bad policy to divide the capital city of a madly jealous God, but it is even worse to curse Israel from a city and government building which sits so close to the Tasman Sea. Nevertheless, these waves from the sea will help the nations to see that Israel’s holy mountain should be left alone.

Isaiah 11:9 “They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.”

Could these waves of judgment be avoided? Absolutely so! That is, if Christ’s church rises up first. What I mean to imply is that if the house of God inside these chosen isles would apply the truth of what its name implies, there could be fair skies and no rise of the sea. The word church is actually the biblical Greek word ekklesia, which means the called out ones. In other words, if the church of Christ would recognize the price of our salvation (inclusive of the centuries of Jewish degradation) and now come out from under the world’s hatred of the Jewish nation and choose to honor them instead, it would prevent a lot of dread. Let it now simply be said: Rise up Christchurch.

Still, there is one more biblical chore possibly in store for this city of the Lord which might restore both Christchurch and the zeal of a group of Jewish refugees. What am I talking about? Without a doubt, Christchurch must first find their own New Zeal for The God of Israel. But next, it is scripturally addressed to become a place of refuge for some of the American Jews (who refused to show zeal for the nation of Israel) and will be forced to “come out” too. As these from the Eastern Seaboard of the United States are forced to evacuate a region likewise devastated by a series of major earthquakes, they are biblically defined to find residency in certain Gentile cities which have ironically just been devastated as well.

Isaiah 54:3 “For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.”

I realize how strange all that must sound. Nevertheless, I have been told from a very reliable Source on High that this destruction on the Eastern Coast of America will signify the beginning of peace and stability in Christchurch, New Zealand. In fact, at that point in time, this city set on the edge of time will once again begin to shine. An extensive restoration time for this city will be put in motion, and the American Jews from clear across the ocean will ironically enter Christchurch and help restore this city of our Lord. There, the American Jew will find New Zeal too for the nation of Israel. A lot of things would have to be shaken in order for this to ever happen, and my simple prayer for all involved is one of repair. But either way, we have entered the day in which the Lord must say, “Christchurch, Rise Up”.

Who Will Carry the Torch?

As Isaiah describes this specific calling which the isles and people from far are being biblically commanded to perform for The God of Israel, the prophet details this mission in the image of a light (or torch). This is the same image spoken of in Matthew 25, as the bridesmaids are awakened at midnight to prepare the Jewish bride for her wedding. These virgins each hold hand-held lamps which are divinely purposed to fit on top of the menorah. This is simply a biblical commission for Christians to stand with Israel and use our talents for the sake of the forsaken Jewish nation. This concept of enlightened Christian support for Israel which is biblically packaged in the image of a hand-held lamp (or torch) was first spoken of in Genesis 15. This verse describes God coming down as a lamp to name and claim the land of Israel in a sacred land covenant.

Genesis 15:17 “And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces. In the same day God made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land….”

This verse also tells (and therefore warns) that God likewise came upon the scene that covenant day as a smoking furnace during a time of darkness. In order to truly see the light and understand the reasoning behind God’s initiation of the days of darkness upon the earth, one must simply gain insight as to the world’s current dark aggression against Israel’s land boundaries. It was forewarned for all people to read (and thereby be illuminated) that if these landlines were ever cut, then the Almighty would cause the sun to stop shining and thus cover the earth with darkness. But next, the text says that He will personally come upon the scene as an over-heated radiator blowing out His frustration and radiation in an extreme display of His heated love and eternal purpose for the land of Israel.

Well, that sounds over exaggerated, you might say. But the proof is in the definition of the way the Almighty chose to reveal Himself that day of landing between the broken pieces of Abram’s commanded sacrifice. The God of Israel there came down as a smoking furnace (which is the Hebrew word, tanner) perhaps to warn all that He, as the ultimate Father, will tan the hide of any nation or people who take the rebellious position defined in America’s roadmap for peace, even if that Fatherly spanking breaks the illegitimate laws of that nation. The actual Hebrew definition of this word tanner is an over-heated radiator (or oven) spewing out fire and smoke. I get the mental image of a truck radiator reaching the boiling point on a hot Texas summer day which blows its top and throws hot water and steam all over the unfortunate one who is trying to remove the radiator cap. Still, this image is too mild for what the Tanner has in store for the nations who are now twisting off the capital of Jerusalem to give away as a permanent Palestinian state. For all those on-lookers who are watching as America arrogantly twists their cap, you might be well advised to step back and rethink your position and separate yourselves from this ungodly political topic. For I can assure you, the Radiator is about to blow, and all nations will resultantly know that He is The God of Israel.

On the other hand, Genesis 15 says that The God of Israel also came down that covenant day as a very personal, hand-held torch. This image would seem to be of opposite contrast to the red hot oven image which certainly is a far transfiguration from a personal hand-held light, and its personal salvation invitation. However, because the Jewish Messiah was handed over to the Gentile nations to become their personal Light and salvation, and then those enlightened nations hand over the land of Israel’s inheritance to Hamas and the Muslim brotherhood, then we should biblically expect that there will come next a Messianic change from a Lamp to a Range. Perhaps it would be ok to say that the Oven is being pre-heated today and will soon tan the hides of these anti-Semites. Simply stated, this new day, when the Almighty God of Abraham rises up to defend the land covenant, will be a day that burns as an oven. Thus nuclear plants will melt down and radiation clouds will cover the grounds of the roadmap pushing nations. Perhaps today, (before the fire) would be an ideal time to acquire New Zeal for The God of Israel.

Malachi 4:1 “For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, all that do wickedly, shall be stubble…”

But what about New Zealand and what is prophetically declared for these separated islands and people? Yea Yea, mate, thanks for asking. If the church and government therein will denounce the roadmap plan and turn again to declare Israel’s right to their covenant land, then this oven door could be closed for these people of the far off coast. Instead of being a collaborator to the day that will burn like a radiator, these reserved islands could actually carry the torch for The God of Israel and perhaps illuminate the world as to the importance of siding on the side of truth. In fact, a whole chapter in Isaiah was written specifically to the Islands of New Zealand which not only demands the lands thereof, but further pleads for these Kiwis to heed that HaShem has a chosen seed that need a torchbearer. Simply stated, darkness is over-rated and anti-Semitism is out-dated, so a people from afar are scripturally invited to take up the torch for the nation which America divided. As the scripture defines, this land of New Zeal has a divine commission to now fulfill.

Isaiah 49:1,6 “Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people from far….It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.”

The “light” reference in the above scripture not only details the land covenant between God and Israel, but certainly refers to Christ. Therefore, allow me to say that true Gentile salvation today is connected to the land boundaries in this Way. This is Bible-backed by the facts of Ruth and Rahab. These two Gentile women helped the Jews of their day come into their land (which God gave) and resultantly got saved. When you see a Gentile with torch in hand helping and defending both the Jews and their land, then you can begin to understand The God of Israel’s true salvation plan. But the above scripture gets even more specific and adds to this divine plan of salvation, a far away nation at the bottom of the ocean. Referenced as “the isles” and its remote folk as “people from far”, this verse details NZ as very personally called and involved. It is there predicted that true Christianity will be convicted to both restore the Jews and choose to defend their claim to the Promise Land.

Whereas Genesis 15 details the connection between salvation and the land boundaries of the nation of Israel, it also warns of a time of darkness when the Almighty’s wrath will scorch the earth. As HaShem passed through the cut up pieces of Abram’s sacrifice (as an oven and a hand-held torch) He announced specifically the landlines of Greater Israel. Therefore, it should be realized that as these lines are compromised, then the skies will turn dark and radiation will start to cover the nations which proposed such madness. Speaking of broken pieces, during my first visit to modern day Israel I was astonished at how the land and nation there has been divvied up into so many different sections with an Arab community here and a Jewish neighborhood there. To be real honest, it was a shocking disappointment to see the Holy Land chopped up into so many different fragments. In my mind, I had envisioned these Palestinian territories all neatly and conveniently connected in one or two common areas. But to the contrary, it is the biggest broken up mess I have ever witnessed. I found myself so disappointed in what I saw that I was literally in a state of depression while there.

Under the Clinton administration’s Oslo Accords of the 1990’s, Israel was diplomatically pressured to give up 450 separate communities and/or districts in Samaria and Judea to the Palestinian Authority in exchange for peace. As a result, Israel today (which is only 40 miles wide for the most part) is partitioned into hundreds of separate Palestinian districts which basically have no real rule of law within them. In a sense, you now have 450 some-odd nations within this one tiny nation of Israel. The only way to accurately describe it is a state of chaos. However, please remember this was the world’s proposed plan for peace, and pieces they defiantly got. Immediately, these divvied up pieces of the Jewish covenanted lands were used by Islamic terrorist groups as bases to stage attacks against their Jewish neighbors. So, Israel was forced to build walls around some of these Palestinian neighborhoods in order to keep order, and to keep the peace from these new pieces. Next, the world began accusing Israel of being an apartheid state, even though this was what the world’s governments had demanded Israel to do, break their state apart. Even with some walls and check points now in place, the Israeli citizens still must face the constant threat of daily attacks from these broken pieces that promised to live in peace for their piece. It is therefore an undeniable fact that the roadmap for peace is a total failure for all people concerned. There simply is no peace, only pieces. The roadmap for peace has chopped up the Holy Land into such a state of turmoil that it will likely take an act of God to fix it.

Genesis 15:17-18 “And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces. In the same day God made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land….”

Actually, there has already been an act of God which not only foretold that the land given to Israel would be broken up into these many pieces, but also predicted El Kanah’s response to America’s roadmap for peace plan. As I read this scripture, I see the warning of darkness and possible problems with the heavenly lights above as being associated with this perpetrated “piece” process. Nevertheless, this dark period will simply be a preliminary seminary before The God of Israel actually shows up and strolls up and down these broken pieces of His ground to teach us that He is Zion Zealous.

Zechariah 8:2 “Thus saith the Lord of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.”

As defined in this Genesis 15 covenant, it was a bloody bad idea for so-called Christian nations to so “lightly” esteem and so heavily trod upon the God-ordered sacrifice of His chosen people. Simply stated, this division which has been perpetrated against the tribes of Jacob’s inheritance is not “a light thing” unto the Lion of the tribe of Judah who is coming to a boiling point as the Radiator against these anti-Israel instigators. On the other hand, there does remain “a light thing” for a certain island chain. That is to say, a hand-held invitation today for this pacific people far away to carry the torch for God’s chosen nation.

Isaiah 49:1,6 “Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people from far……It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel.”

But just what exactly does this mean, you might ask, and precisely what is it that NZ is called to do for the Jews? Good question! First of all, let me respond with one last grand land stand. From the river Egypt (the Nile), to the river Euphrates is what HaShem has biblically defined as Zion. The nations must simply trust that Israel will govern righteously for all the inhabitants (both Jews and non-Jews) inside these specified lines. It is certainly evident that the Arabs today under the Palestinian Authority and Muslim Brotherhood are suffering as even the essentials of life have been detrimentally affected. In these partitioned pieces inside Israel that were handed over to the P.A. in exchange for peace, the everyday goods and services of sewer, trash, water, and food are manipulated in order to both demonize Israel and buy rockets to use against the Israeli public. Certainly Israel will not ever be guilty of genocidal acts against the peoples inside these boundaries given the history of which they have endured, but will rather sympathetically bring peace and prosperity to all within this region known as Greater Israel. This is God’s ultimate peace plan. But in order for it to work, Israel must first be allowed to control this specified area of land. Again, if we really want to see peace in that region for all the inhabitants, the Torah teaches that this is the diagram that will work. Therefore, a simple statement by the Kiwi church and state will not only make New Zealand great, but will likewise spark light into the dark and troubled region of the Middle East. Strangely enough, The God of Israel has called a little non-offensive, unassociated nation at the end of the world, (as far away from Israel as earthly possible) to speak this divine truth and to enlighten our world.

As of today, this specified calling upon the isles of the South Pacific remains unanswered, and the heavens themselves seemingly wait to see if the land and people of NZ will take up the torch for The God of Israel and bring restoration and preservation to Israel and the Gentiles of the Middle East. Or will the land and folk of New Zeal choose to snooze and lose their lights and rights as well? Remember, the other extreme range of this subject proclaims a time of darkness and disaster.

Heated Love

To truly understand why a kind and merciful God will now rise up in such contrast of heated anger against the Gentile nations, one must first understand the years of sacrificial atonement which He permitted upon His chosen people and nation Israel. Once you calculate the total price and understand the full gospel plan (which called for the two century fall of His people and land) only then can you begin to understand the heated love HaShem has displayed for the Gentile nations. Ironically, those same nations (and most of the Christian churches therein) are today calling for the extended persecution of the Jewish nation and have chosen to side with the enemies of Israel rather than acknowledging the Jewish sacrifice and participation in our salvation. What will be the response of The God of Israel, you ask? Perhaps another visual display of His heated love.

Psalms 21:8-11 “Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee. Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine anger: the Lord shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall devour them….For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.”

Again, this evil plot to break up Israel’s land is resulting in the foretold time of HaShem’s anger and wrath. Even as the land covenant of Genesis 15 fiercely warned, a radiated oven experience is now coming forth against the Gentile nations who have seemingly misunderstood the heated love of El Kanah (God of Zeal) for His land and people Israel. Perhaps the nations should reconsider the heated persecution by which the Jewish nation has been repeatedly baked, which Paul said was allowed for our sake. In fact, according to the gospel of Paul, all the fall of the Jewish race was a visual display of God’s heated love for all of mankind. Albeit, He loved them all the time.

Romans 11:28 “As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father’s sakes.”

Let’s explore this heated love concept a bit. First, the ovens of Egypt seemingly were not enough to display this heated love that God had for all of mankind, so Nebuchadnezzar’s oven was heated up seven times. Still, the visual display of God’s heated love was not fulfilled, and the crusades and the inquisitions consumed His chosen people as well. There are accounts of Jews being burned alive inside their own synagogues by their beneficiary Christian counterparts. But was this just another visual display of the fiery price that had to be paid in order that the Gentile nations could be saved? Still, His zeal for all peoples and nations seemingly needed more fuel. So, the Holocaust and the anti-Semitic ovens of Europe were somehow allowed to burn His chosen nation without HaShem’s interruption. Perhaps all done so that I could be called His son and be rescued from the fiery pit of hell? What? Are you suggesting that through the Jewish sufferings I have been saved from hell? Yes, and if you (in the pew) would take a humble view, you too might be glad that Israel’s God was so madly in love with you.

Psalms 69:23-24,32 “Let their eyes be darkened that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake. Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them….The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.”

Nevertheless, today the very people and nations who have received such a heated love at such a fiery price, are now cranking up the heat on the remnant of the chosen seed. What can we expect from HaShem now, but to turn and burn some more? But this time He will shine upon His own and turn to burn those who should have known that He is The God of Israel, first and foremost. In so doing, the land covenant will be upheld and Israel’s cities will be rebuilt.

Isaiah 69:35 “For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.”

This day in which so many so-called “saved” Christian leaders are turning up the heat on Israel to withdraw from their covenant lands is scripturally foretold to be a day that will burn as an oven to consume this anti-Semitic form of Christianity. Seemingly in contrast, there is an old church teaching which many adhere to which boasts, “once saved always saved”. But during this heated day when the Sun arises to display His intense love for Israel and His anger against their oppressors, this doctrinal belief will be challenged. In fact, the scripture says that any and all anti-Semitic forms of Christianity will be burned up, both root and branch.

Malachi 4:1 “For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day cometh that shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.”

The scripture then continues and gives a plan of prosperity and peace for those who will correctly align themselves with the rising Sun.

Malachi 4:2 “But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.”

Call the Milkman

A few years ago I got the big idea to raise up some newborn dairy calves. I built a hundred small stalls to house the little fellers and called the local dairy and asked to buy all their next calf crop. Needless to say, it was quite the experience, but I am not sure if I would want to work that hard again for such little gain. Albeit, the one part that was really rewarding was the morning when I finally released those captive calves out of their stalls. One by one, as I opened their pens, these stalled calves came out into a big new world of open freedom, and with tails in air they began to tear across the pasture. It was hilarious and I wish I would have captured it on video. A hundred stalled calves all set free, running, jumping, and bucking with great delight, what a sight! Interestingly enough, NZ is geographically the place of the morning sun and raises more little dairy calves per capita than probably any other nation in the world. Therefore, they would seem to personally fit into this scriptural story about releasing healing glory. But, do the inhabitants of this “rising of the sun” nation really understand why the Sun is arising? Or do they know their foretold scriptural role of raising up Israel and letting the captives thereof go?

Isaiah 45:5-6,13 “I Am the Lord, and there is none else…I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: that they may know from the rising of the sun and from the west, that there is none beside me….I have raised him up in righteousness, and will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and let go my captives…”

As Yeshua arises as the Sun of the Almighty, His extreme zealousness for His inheritance Israel will leave many nations Sun-burned. His rising anger is in direct response to the nations’ continual confinement of Israeli growth via land revocations and building moratoriums. Of the which, both NZ’s Parliament and many of the larger churches’ top leaders have fearlessly condoned and/or participated in. Still, these scriptures detail a different calling upon the land of New Zeal, and define Aotearoa as safely shaded during these coming days of rage. For this to happen, a move must first be made away from these led-a-stray men-of-lay (anti-Semitic leaders). In fact, this scripture in Malachi promises for those who obtain a healthy fear of His name (The God of Israel) a setting free from these evil leaders will take place. Perhaps, like calves of the stall, all yall held in confinement by these anti-Israel leaders should buck and run from such.

Apparently, what most of the world’s governments and many of its churches today seem to not realize is a simple little truth which most dairymen and stock farmers know: It takes the land (and the hand) of God to survive and thrive in agriculture. Forcing these long caged up Hebrew people into smaller areas of their own land will ensure an equal and opposite reaction from their Husbandman, and a resulting time of confinement and stalled economies for the roadmap pushing nations. But what about New Zealand? Will this farming nation participate in the universal land rape of the Jewish State? Or will these dairymen down-under again rise up early and take their stand, and begin to demand the release of these captives to freely roam their own land? The milk of God’s word is evident. HaShem chose a land and a people which the remaining lands and peoples would be wise to not despise or compromise on their lot size.

Deuteronomy 32:8-9 “When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel. For the Lord’s portion is his people: Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.”

Strangely enough, as the Most High divided to the nations their lands and His plans, these most low Isles of New Zealand were (like Israel) set apart, and then given a unique part that will start at dark. Basically, a scripturally defined promised time of healing and shade during the coming heated times of God’s rage is foretold in His book of old. Biblically referenced as the outer fringes, the place of the rising sun, and as a nation raising calves in stalls, these islands are specifically called. It would therefore appear that Aotearoa has been divinely positioned and even agriculturally commissioned to perform a healing role. Let us also recognize that these dairy guys down below are scripturally called to know and show The God of Israel’s pent up love and zeal for Israel. But not only will New Zealand personify the jealousy of the Almighty, and thereby live up to its name, but will also become that outer fringe place of healing and growth in the same heated day.

Malachi 4:1-2 “For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven…But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings. and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.”

Not only did Malachi foretell of a miraculous time of supernatural healing that will take place in New Zealand, there is a prediction of expansion in their economy, even as America’s stalls. But again, this might begin at night down on the farm among these early rising dairymen. Simply stated, the dairy industry of NZ (which has such a fluid impact on the GDP) should publically say that Israel has every right today to raise their children on their lands even as Kiwi farmers raise calves on their own. Then, as the Sun arises again, this scriptural promise of protection, healing, and expansion in New Zealand would no longer be compromised by the Beehive.

The promises attached for such a commitment to The God of Israel is, first of all, a healthy dose of sun-block for all who find refuge under His wings. Again, the word wings is the Hebrew word kanap meaning the outer fringes of a garment and a distant place. New Zealand, as this bottom tassel of the world, must quickly throw off the corruption of the anti-Semitic sentiment which has blanketed the world’s governments and immediately denounce the American led roadmap for peace plan. The word of God is calling New Zealand to become the first nation in the world to rise up early and declare Israel’s sovereign right to all their land. Allow me to milk this a little more by saying that if these dairymen would squeeze their leaders then restoration for both Israel and their nation would begin to flow. In fact, if this 'uddermost” nation would simply release a political statement defining Israel’s right to freely build upon their own land, healing and rebuilding from the recent natural disasters down there would likewise not be stalled.

Could the shakes now happening every morning in New Zealand be meant to awake this divine dairy destiny distinctly described down-under? Or let me ask this question in farming-form: Is it wise to be yoked with those that are breaking up Israel’s ground? American policy has systematically penned Israel into smaller and smaller confinements while placing more restrictions on this chosen people whose Shepherd is saying to let them freely roam and build their homes on the land which He owns? But make no more misstake about it, the Sun is now rising to reveal His zeal and heated love for the nation and people of Israel which He has sequestered for the last two millennia. As the ultimate Dairyman, He will see to it that they have access to all His land. Nevertheless, what can we guess will happen if the land of New Zeal further denies their calling, and these early rising dairymen simply yawn and then sleep on, even past the dawn? Man, I sure hope the milkman rises up early again and answers the call before the waters cover all.

Deep Calling

As we realize the deep calling of The God of Israel upon the Islands of New Zealand, we should also realize the consequences of denying that deep calling. The scripture says that this deep calling of God actually calls up the deep, and describes a tsunami type judgment for refusing or postponing that heavenly calling. That may sound too severe for some, but just ask Jonah what next comes after you vex God’s call. At the same time, this scripture also connects these tsunamis with the loving kindness of the Lord and the ushering forth of a new time and day.

Psalms 42:7-8 “Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. Yet the Lord will command his loving kindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.”

With that said, a few years ago the Lord gave me a very vivid dream about a tsunami which hit the Dunedin area of the south island. In my dream, I was taken up to Larnach Castle which had miraculously survived the massive wave of the ocean, yet had violently swept everything and everyone else away. After having this terrible dream, I felt compelled to visit this remote bottom tassel (and castle) of the outer fringes.

The city of Dunedin itself is such an amazing place. Dunedin was originally a Scottish settlement which actually became New Zealand’s center of commerce and capital in the early days of New Zealand history. The buildings and architecture there are like no other in the world. The early gold discoveries of the late 1880’s resulted in a city of grand style and fashion which today remains splendid and spectacular to say the least. Then there are the Scottish people of Dunedin who today are still a large part of the populous down there at the end of the world. I find that I have a lot of respect for Scotsmen, perhaps because they remind me of the plain spoken, hard working men that I was raised around. Scots are probably the world’s most logical thinkers and certainly back-breakers when it comes to work ethics. But perhaps what most sets these unique people apart is just that: their willingness to be set apart. That is to say, that a Scotsman cannot be persuaded to go the wrong way, or enticed with illogical advice. These common-sense people seem to have been internally gifted with logical direction, and every Scotsman I have ever known has shown the ability to live their lives outside worldly opinion and ungodly compromise.

As I walked down the beautiful streets of this Scottish city, my heart was lamenting at the reflection of destruction of this magnificent city, of which I dreamed. I realized that the devastation I had been shown would be a horrible loss of national treasure, in both the grand buildings, but even more so in these unique people. Yet if the nation’s newest capital of Wellington keeps using the people’s treasury to empower Israel’s enemies, and continue to support the West and our demonic quest against Israel’s right to their own land, then the deep itself becomes liable to rise up and defend Israel, even if New Zealand refuses to. Ultimately, the deep will come calling if New Zealand keeps yawning. My prayers and efforts are for the people of New Zealand to quickly wake up, shake off those yawns, and then all the anti-Israel pawns from inside the Beehive. Hopefully before the deep itself rises up and covers it, or possibly Dunedin. I believe that HaShem is looking to (and even expecting) these set apart Scottish inhabitants at the bottom of the world to play a top role by being the first city to declare their support for Israel and Israel’s God.

While down there in the city of Dunedin, I was drawn to a magnificent old church set atop a high hill in this lowest city on earth. Entering the door of this masterpiece of architecture I noticed the label of this congregation stated as “The First Church”. While in this amazing cathedral, the Spirit of the Lord began to speak to me about the actual “first church” of our Lord which primarily consisted of Jewish believers which so richly incorporated their foundational traditions of Judaism into the actual fulfillment and embodiment of the Jewish Messiah. It was there I realized just how far and away the Christian church today has strayed from the oundations of this first church. Then, I began to visualize this explicit house of worship (as the furtherest point away from Israel) becoming the first to distance itself from the curse while proclaiming the full gospel. That is to say, the gospel story which is inclusive of the gory which HaShem allowed upon them (the Jews) for our glory. Or their diminishing (which is now finishing) which was a part of the price paid that made my heart and eyes be open to “Salvation” (which is Yeshua in Hebrew). I believed the Lord was showing me that this First Church of Dunedin (there at the last place on earth) would become the first church of our time to begin to likewise declare the “times” of Israel’s defined restoration and rise.

This revelation was very strong as I walked along the aisles of this “First Church” there at the bottom of the isles. There, from the bottom tassel of the outer fringes I felt the promise of healing beginning as the Lord’s standard is raised among these commonsense raised Scotts. It is this specific city on the Pacific (as this last place on earth) that is destined to become the first to distance itself from the curse and therefore experience the glory of the Lord.

Isaiah 59:19-20 “So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him. And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the Lord.”

This scripture precisely describes the day which we currently find ourselves in. As America (the West) devises the division of Zion, a resulting series of earthquakes and tsunamis are being released worldwide to signify the divide between the time of the Gentiles and the time of Israel’s restoration. Again, there are two locations referenced as being involved in this transforming day of the Lord. First of all, America (the West) is addressed as being extremely judged and will fall apart. However, the pieces will resultantly inherit a righteous fear of The God of Israel. Nevertheless, the roadmap will be scrapped, along with Washington D.C., if our leaders refuse to see the truth about Israel’s land and their God’s restoration plans. Next addressed in scriptural context are the eastern nations of the world. Primarily detailing New Zealand, but possibly inclusive of Australia, Japan or others, who will be the first nations of the world to experience the glory of God that has been reserved for Israel during this new day dawning. But before the glory of the Lord rises upon Israel, it is scripturally detailed to dawn upon these eastern nations beyond. Perhaps then, through their glorification of HaShem and His chosen nation, the long persecuted Hebrew people will likewise be glorified. It would seem not sufficient enough for the Lord to simply glorify His own nation Israel, but rather will see her glorified through the enforced honor of nations and peoples who begin to finally understand that the Almighty has a people and a land from whom came His glorious salvation plan. As the glory of the Lord (and this revelation) begin to cover the eastern nations, a new standard will be raised and the Redeemer will return to the land that was razed. Nevertheless, this same verse first warns that before “the East” sees the glory of the Lord, there might be a tsunami which comes in from the enemy.

Isaiah 59:19-20 “So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him. And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the Lord.”

As we walked the streets of Dunedin, I not only realized the current day importance of this city for these special people on the bottom of the world, but overwhelming sensed a future destiny of great importance in the dark days ahead. In fact, this very word came to me from the Lord, telling me, “Dunedin is important” as I dreamed of shiploads of dazed American refugees landing on the shores of this distant land. Then I woke, realizing the great danger that America has placed itself in by continually stealing God’s land. What will it take to make the NZ Parliament not make this same mistake? And will tsunamis from the Pacific be used in explicit to reverse their church’s theological curse concerning Israel? These waves could also have a ripple effect, which next reflect the glory of the Lord rising upon these eastern sunrise nations. Scripturally it is foretold to happen in this order. First come the waves of the enemy, then comes the waves of God’s glory to heal and repeal any anti-Israel sediment which the floods did not wash away. With that said, I really dread for those who live by the sea if their national leaders refuse to see the importance of Israel. In fact, all nations in these coming times which deny the God-ordered edict to support Israel could find their nations wasted.

Isaiah 60:12 “For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly destroyed.”

On a positive note, the scriptures define a very specific and even different time for the land of New Zealand, and the quicker these isles turn away from America’s transgression in Jacob (demanding the surrender of Israel’s inheritance) the quicker this magnificent “land of the long white cloud” could be healed and then Holy Ghost sealed as God’s chosen servant.

Isaiah 60:8-9 “Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows? Surely the isles shall wait for me…”

The answer to Isaiah’s question is obviously New Zealand, and the heavenly window of opportunity is scripturally open for “the land of the long white cloud” to serve The God of Israel by showing forth the zeal of His love for His nation and people. But there must first come an awakening to this calling and a resulting disannulment from the anti-Israel lies and policies which have found their place and support within Aotearoa’s church and state. It is obvious of late that the Father is trying to awaken these islands, and so far two very staunch shakes have been the result. Just what will it take to make this Morning Star awake?

Good Morning, Sunshine!

When I was a kid, my father woke us up every summer morning at 5:30 to eat breakfast and then go out to the cotton fields where we all hoed weeds until noon. The first wakeup call was a warm, “Good morning, Sunshine”. If you chose to sleep on, within the next 5-10 minutes you could expect a strong shake from the hand of a man who was demanding that you arise. Inevitably, I sometimes still remained unresponsive and the next wakeup call was sure to do the trick, as dad would quietly enter the room with a cup of water and violently throw it in your face. Although it only happened a time or two, its result was an immediate rise to my feet and a wide awake response of, “I can’t believe you just did that', to my smiling dad. From then on, just the threat of knowing that to sleep on had drastic consequences seemed to make the choice a lot easier to rise upon first request.

But what about these sleepy little islands of the South Pacific? Why are they not hearing and obeying the voice of the Father to arise for Zion’s sake. Is it wise to continue to close your eyes to the Jewish demise currently being politically comprised in the Beehive? And shouldn’t you awake to the spiritual hate currently being displayed by much of the top hierarchy of the down-under church? Could the strong shakings felt within Christchurch now be the Father’s second attempt to awaken the land of New Zeal to the labor of His own field? And lastly, what will happen next as New Zealand just pulls up higher the blankets of anti-Semitism and sleeps on in open disregard to the Father’s command to rise and shine?

Isaiah 28:15,17 “Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves. Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.”

New Zealand, as the basement of the world, is destined to be a hiding place as above described. Nevertheless, this American forged lie (Bush’s roadmap for peace plan) must first be washed out of the church and state within. God forbid that the beautiful coastal cities of New Zealand should be destroyed through tsunami type judgments. There is nothing worse I can imagine than to see Dunedin, Wellington, or Auckland lying in the ruins of an overflowing scourge from the sea. However, the scriptures warn that the result of making a covenant with death, and denying Israel’s covenant right to their own land, will produce an overflowing tsunami that will wash away these lies (and their human carriers) from the city streets of our world. I would suggest to the nations that desire to continue making statements and policies against Israel’s right to their homes, and lands, and cities, to go inland and upland to build their cities if they expect to survive the resulting tsunamis and waves of disaster.

Isaiah 28:18-21 “And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it. From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report. For the bed is shorter than a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than he can wrap himself in it. For the Lord shall rise up….”

New Zealand simply needs to recognize that the Lord is an early riser and is now officially up. Now as sure as He has risen, He will likewise enforce the rise of Israel. But first, He will call the last, and now stands with a glass of cold water and is ultimately demanding this New Zeal for The God of Israel. In agricultural terms, the Husbandman yearns to clean up his field and increase their yield by awaking you and me to work out our gospel responsibility. Yes, I realize it is early in the morning of this new dawn, but the Father is telling the Parliament of NZ, “Come on, I need thee to labour with me for My national party”. At the same time, the Lion of Zion is smiling bedside of His bride, saying, “Good morning, Sunshine”. Still, the churches and government of New Zealand sleep on. Oh how I pray that they will open their eyes and quickly arise, before the sea does. By the way, let me next say that there is no better way to start the day than with a down-home breakfast made with milk and honey.

Milk and Honey

Did someone say milk and honey? Wow, those two words really capture my full attention. Growing up in a Dutchman’s home who farmed for a living, we had fresh milk and homemade butter every morning. Mom would take a cheese cloth and strain the cream off the milk which dad just squeezed from ole Granny’s udder, and we would start yearning (and churning) for that fresh home-made butter. We also were blessed to have a neighboring buddy who would come over and give us some of his hand-raised honey. A friendly trade was made and we got honey without money, and he got fresh milk and sometimes butter. Now that is the way I was raised. Man, those were the good ole days.

Speaking of being raised with milk and honey: God made a promise to the descendants of Israel that He would give them a land flowing with milk and honey. Israel today is certainly a productive land, but I did not see any dairies on my recent trip there. I did see lots of fruit trees though. Perhaps Adonai (the Lord) meant to say, a land flowing with orange juice. Neither do I recall seeing any beehives. On the flip-side, when you drive around the uttermost Isles of New Zealand, you quickly get the revelation that they have the most udders, and are just buzzing with beehives. In fact, the whole GDP of NZ is based around the dairy business, and their government building is built like, and named, the Beehive. Today, there is so much milk and honey flowing from this land of the eastern sunny that it’s not funny (although that statement was meant to be). Just simply stated, New Zealand is that land flowing with milk and honey. I am not saying that God made a misprint. I am just stating the obvious and wondering if perhaps this original promise to the Hebrews ties together with His plan of bringing together Israel and New Zealand at the break of day. “Times” will tell, and as the original Beekeeper hand raises His nation Israel and brings them out again of the falling Gentile nations, He just may make them breakfast in a land flowing with milk and honey.

In fact, the best time to eat honey and drink milk is early in the morning. It really makes for a great breakfast to have a piece of toast with homemade butter generously spread across the top, with as much honey poured on till it almost runs off the uttermost edges. Add to that, a nice cold glass of fresh milk which has not been through the refinement process. Now that is a real meal and the right way to start the day. God too is setting the breakfast table for His chosen people early in the morning, and if New Zealand will provide the milk and honey, this sunrise nation can also rise with The God of Israel at their side. But on the flip-side, the opposite also applies:

Isaiah 60:12 “For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted.”

There is nothing like a good old-fashioned threat from your father. Growing up, my dad could do it without saying a word. Just that look warned you that if you did not do what he was a-sayin, then there was gonna be a price you would soon be a-payin. The scripture above is one of those Fatherly reprimands which “udderly” demands the service of New Zealand. In fact, the whole land flowing with milk and honey concept is likewise threatened to be heavenly constipated if this New Zealand-Israel marriage is not quickly consummated. Isaiah warns that those nations which refuse their calling of restorational service to Israel will be utterly (or perhaps “udderly') wasted. Likewise, if the Beehive of NZ’s Parliament keeps agreeing with America’s stinging policy against Israel’s right to their God-given land, the honey will also stop flowing and the Beehive itself could be in danger from this deadly Israeli colony collapse virus. Man, I can’t even imagine a breakfast without the essentials of milk, butter, and honey. Now that, my friends, would not be funny! But for those nations that will join themselves to Israel, and side with Jerusalem as the undivided capital of the Jewish people, then will the milk flow and their joy will likewise grow.

Isaiah 66:10-11 “Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her: That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.

Whereas this scripture promises abundance for simply rejoicing with and supporting Jerusalem, unfortunately the world will first see the result of its current policy. Let it be known and said that a long, dark night lies ahead. Yet a new morning will come via the distant horizon of the land of the rising sun. New Zealand must first breakfast from the world’s anti-Israel policies and prepare their land of milk and honey for the time when the Lion will blot out the sun.

Judges 14:18 “And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter than honey? And what is stronger than a lion?”

We should understand that the time of the Gentiles’ grace space is racing to an end. Simultaneously, we are entering the seventh millennium of the history of Israel, and thus the predetermined Shabbat for these chosen who have labored for the rest of us. As we enter this new time, Messiah will be revealed as the Lion, and wants me to say that there would be nothing sweeter at the break of this new day than for the land of milk and honey to lead the way out of the dark days.

The Dark Days

Sadly enough, this darkness which is now rolling in upon us was first allowed inside the Christian church, which voluntarily removed itself from the true Light of Israel and adopted the shady replacement theories which have blindly brought us to the beginning days of darkness. Nevertheless, by the climax of this dark period our world should have the profound revelation that there is only one God, and He is The God of Israel. In order for that to happen, there will first come judgment upon the churches and nations which have continuously opposed God’s people, Israel. Whereas both church and state have been clouded in their judgment against Israel, now too will Israel’s God be clouded in His judgment. That is to say, His judgment will blanket this world in clouds of darkness and radiation. Nevertheless, the scriptures address that Israel will simultaneously arise and shine. Jewish families from around the globe will likewise arise (as anti-Semitism arises) and come out of the nations and make Aliyah back to their homeland. Please try to see that the darkness dedicated to this day of the Lord is a biblical plague that signals and enforces the Jewish Passover and their exodus out of the nations, specifically America. As a matter of fact, this was actually the last plague listed in the original Passover event in Egypt prior to the sacrifice of the lamb and the death angel’s ride against the first born who denied its blood upon their doors.

Exodus 10:21-23 “And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt. And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days: They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.”

The book of Revelation, simply stated, is just another Passover event which will judge and dismantle both the national political systems of the world and the anti-Semitic Christian church. Remember Pharaoh had declared himself both king and god and consequently controlled both government and religion in Egypt. Eerily similar, America is now using both our church and state to demand the separation of the Jews from within their own God-given nation. The plagues of droughts, storms, hail, earthquakes, and tsunamis are now beginning. But ultimately, the coming plague of darkness will be one of the heaviest and hardest to handle. Although this final Passover will be a time of utter chaos with colossal amounts of death, still most men will not repent.

Revelation 9:20 “And the rest of the men which were not killed by the plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands…”

Christians today are famous for compromising, spiritualizing, and rationalizing the truths of God’s word. Whereas it is not necessarily wrong to spiritualize these truths, we should never compromise their obvious and stated meanings. The teaching of the end days has been somewhat manipulated into a glorious Christian event where and when we will be righteously raptured while Israel and the Jews are left behind for another Holocaust, and ultimately their final forced conversion. Christians are weekly taught to look forward to this grand rapture plan and to get ready for the coming Light, who will take those of us who had it right. However, the majority of these end-time Christian teachings reflect strong anti-Semitic rhetoric and can be quite disturbing if you are Hebrew. The real truth of God’s word for the end-times is that a period of darkness is actually coming instead, and it will be a day that even Christians will dread.

Amos 5:18-20 “Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord! to what end is it for you? The day of the Lord is darkness, and not light. As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into a house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him. Shall not the day of the Lord be darkness, and not light? Even very dark, and no brightness in it?”

Let’s take a little look into this darkness now while we still have light. Could the scripture really mean what it says, and could there actually be another time of darkness coming upon the face of the earth? In the beginning, the Torah teaches that there was darkness upon the earth and then God said, “Let there be Light”. Yeshua also said that He was the First and the Last and revealed this fact in the book of Revelation while standing in the midst of the symbol of light, the menorah. Could these scriptures be warning us that another time of darkness will cover the earth during the revelation that He is The God of Israel in the last days?

My dad says he remembers in the early 1950’s the day they first brought electricity to his father’s farm. Prior to this time, their whole life revolved around the simple ethics of a chicken. That is to say, you rose with the sun and roosted with the same. Now, I don’t mean to sound cocky, but this makes my generation the first in the world to have fully lived in the days of light. From the personal refrigeration for our food, to the air-conditioning of a whole nation, we have all become accustomed to living this cool life. Even the simple light on a switch to satisfy that midnight itch, this witty invention has literally brought our world out of the Dark Ages. But are we so arrogant to think we can never ever go back to the dark days?

At about the same time the United States got hooked up to the grid, another figure of light was being declared and repaired. On May 14, 1948 the nation of Israel came back online and the lights of the menorah were rekindled. Is it mere coincidence that the world simultaneously got light into each and every home as the Jews were finally allowed to come back into their own comfort zone? But perhaps the more pertinent question which I should be asking today is this: If these same nations, which then publically declared support for the State of Israel (and resultantly got light) now publically retract their support and demand that Israel hand over parts of their lands to the dark Palestinian terrorist bands, can we still keep our lights on? I personally fear that as the nations demand for Israel to go off line, so will the world’s electrical grid. Perhaps then, sitting in their dark sin, the nations will begin to get the revelation that Israel is the source of light for all nations.

Matthew 5:14-15 “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.”

Again, Christianity has personalized and Americanized this scripture as well. Don’t get me wrong, we are allowed and encouraged to use the scriptures for our personal lives. However, like my daddy always said, “You can use my tools, but put them back where you found them when you’re finished”. Please know that Yeshua spoke this scripture to Israel and the Jewish people, and most certainly was referencing Jerusalem, which is a city built upon the hills of Judea. However, there possibly was an American reference in this statement by Messiah which we should “beat out of the bush”

for today. In fact, this scripture possibly referenced Bush’s roadmap for peace plan and warned that Jerusalem should not be placed under Bush’s anti-Semitic agenda. We are further told that this candlestick nation and people of Israel should be exalted, and then it will give light to all that are in their own homes. Allow me to just state this in my simple Texas dialect: If America and the anti-Semitic United Nations elect to divide this city on a hill, (Jerusalem) then the whole world will get their fill of real darkness. Then, when the electricity goes out, perhaps all the world will figure out that God chose a specific people and nation, and our own anti-Semitic rhetoric is the reason our food is no longer a-freezin.

Midnight - Lights Out

We are in a time which is scripturally defined as midnight. This is the prophetic changing of the day from the times of the Gentiles, back to the times of the Jews. Unfortunately, midnight traditionally comes at a time when most are either asleep or out partying. Either way, many will definitely be caught unaware, and are even more unlikely to prepare for this midnight transformation into a new day for HaShem’s chosen nation. Everyone knows that midnight divides one day from the next, but few knew how Christianity too will be divided in this midnight hour.

Matthew 25:1-6 “Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.”

Have you ever been sound asleep, then someone or something wakes you up in the middle of the night? Talk about feeling disoriented and confused. I hate that feeling. Perhaps this explains why Yeshua gave us this parable, so that when midnight comes and everyone is stunned by this drastic wake-up shake, we won’t all be so dazed and confused. Yeshua gives us a diagram of what things will be like in this dark period we now find ourselves falling into, and gives us instructions of what we must do in order to enter into the kingdom which will be christened at midnight. Ironically, the line between these two days is connected to the lines being drawn through Israel by America’s roadmap for peace plan. The ultimate result will be darkness and a midnight cry for the division of Christianity. Wait, give me a chance to explain.

The context of this scriptural event is one of a Jewish engagement and impending wedding. We are told of ten virgins, which are actually referred to in the Greek text as bridesmaids. Keep in mind that bridesmaids are called to be friends of the bride and are given the responsibility of helping the bride prepare for her big day. Then, after these maids have done their duty and have helped the bride prepare for her groom, they are allowed to witness the wedding first hand as they stand by the bride during the wedding. Most Christians believe and have been taught that they (the church) are the bride. But truthfully, we are the bridesmaids which have been asked to stand with the real bride, which is Israel, Jerusalem, and the Jewish people. By standing with Israel, we will also find our proximity extremely closer to the Bridegroom, Yeshua.

Revelation 21:9-10 “And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife. And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God.”

Again, the church has long considered itself the actual bride of Christ, and we have represented ourselves as such. But the scripture defines the bride as the renewed city of Jerusalem which will be prepared and adorned for her husband. Replacement theology has once again attempted to thwart God’s plan for the Jewish homeland and inhabitants by trying to displace its importance and inserting the Christian church in its place. Thus, the current demonic attempt to draw a line down the center of Yerushalayim finds no real opposition by the majority of the Christian church today, because after all, the church is New Jerusalem, right? No that’s wrong, stupid!

Forgive me, but that term (stupid) is the main content of Yeshua’s parable of the bridesmaids, and there is now coming a midnight separation between these foolish and their wise counterparts. This label is likewise used by Paul (the apostle to the Gentiles) when addressing replacement theology. Simply stated, Paul tells the Roman Gentile church to not be ignorant of God’s full gospel plan.

Romans 11:25 “For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved…”

As an apostle today, I am also called to state that a large part of the Christian church is blindly ignorant as to The God of Israel’s plans for the Jews and their homeland, and are particularly dumb as to the true identity of the bride, Jerusalem. Let me further say that as a bridesmaid today, I have been asked to not only stand with Jerusalem, but help her get prepared for her big day…and too should you. Instead, most believers just slumber away and drool like fools, thinking we are all that, while the governments of the world rip away at the bride which has no one standing by her side. It was not supposed to be this way (according to the Truth and the Way) who is now on His way to a wedding with a bride in the divide, and with maids engaged in the raids on Yerushalayim. Thus, there will now come forth two things into our world which will set the stage for the greatest wedding of the age: midnight, and a major walk-out of many Christians from their churches.

Matthew 25:6 “And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.”

Again, two things are coming soon to a location near you: midnight, and a major exodus. Midnight is that time of the night when the day rolls over and becomes a brand new beginning, yet it always happens at a time of complete darkness. But probably the most significant thing about midnight to me is that it happens at straight up 12 o’clock. The prophet Ezekiel was taken into our future and shown this midnight hour and was specific of a date which I believe has strong implications for the year of 2012. This year, 2012, has been getting a lot of attention the last few years. Books and movies have, and are being written about this coming winter solace which is being hailed as a time of cosmic expiration possibly resulting in the end of time, or at the very least, the end of electricity. Could some of these predictions possibly be true? Whereas I do not put any credibility to the cultish predictions of the Mayan calendar, I am alarmed at Ezekiel’s prophesies from the word of his God concerning both the month and year of 12, and his referenced judgment upon Egypt.

Ezekiel 32:1-2 “And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou art like a young lion of the nations, and thou art as a whale in the sea..”

America today has many parallels with Egypt of old and our leadership likewise has become as hard-hearted towards the Jewish State as Pharaoh was. America has effectively forced the surrender of over half of the Jewish homeland and continues our death march now against Jerusalem. President Obama is on record of promising that Jerusalem will be divvied up for a Palestinian state before the end of his term in 2012. Could this be why God calls us Egypt, and our leadership Pharaoh, in the above scriptures?

In addition, America is said by many Bible scholars to be the young lion in scriptural references, and the magnitude of our influences concerning the heavy pressuring for Israel to surrender their covenant land has been whaleish in size and effect. Could this prophesy of Ezekiel be aimed at America for not standing with Israel, and in fact, for now calling for the division of Jerusalem, while the bridesmaids yawn, and then sleep on? Yet at the end of the day Israel’s burdens will be broken away and the Passover will bring a new season, and a new day. In fact, this is what Passover is all about: a new beginning for the nation and people of Israel via a massive Aliyah of the Jewish remnant back to the land long promised to them. But for the Egypt of old, and the Egypt of new, (America) it will be the end of an era and a time of darkness. Thus a cry will go forth at midnight, saying, “Go ye out.”

Matthew 25:6 “And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.”

As Gentile Christians, we have been called to a wedding all right, but the wedding is actually between Yeshua and His Jewish bride, Israel. According to Matthew 25, we are the bridesmaids who are commissioned to ultimately witness this amazing event. However, we must first serve in the preparation of this glorious occasion. Nevertheless, a big part of the Christian church today is supportive of America’s land for peace policy, and instead of siding with Israel (the bride) they have ignorantly participated in tearing her to pieces. Then there is another “part of the church” which is so rehearsed in their verse of escape that there seems to be no room to participate in the preparation of the Jewish State for their wedding day. This is why midnight is at hand, Passover will begin, and a terrible cry will rise to open these sleepy Christian eyes. Then will those virgins with oil in their lamps awake and take their names off the anti-Semitic roll of their local church.

What am I talking about? Well, on March 29, 2011, the Board of Church and Society of the United Methodist Church took a startling stance on the Middle East issues and essentially stated that they do not stand with the people or land of which their Savoir was born. U.M.C. Board pastor, Rev. John Calhoun bashed Israel in this article called, “It’s time for Palestine” where he openly stated, “The United Methodist Church stands for an end to the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestine”. The U.M.C. is a very large worldwide denominational church which also has a presence in almost every community in America. Ironically, at this 12:00 midnight hour, their latest membership stats showed their power of 12 million members (at least before the coming divide). As shocking as their statements have been, they are not the first, nor will they be the last church in America (or the world) to say such ignorant things. Christ foretold of this division which would take place among these virgins, and further defined these actions by the United Methodist Church as dim-witted. But here is the real hard part: where does this leave little Miss Methodist McGuire who has faithfully gone to this church since her rebirth? Yes, she was saved and sprinkled in the U.M.C. and has sat in her own pew which she donated back in ‘72. As a matter of fact, she has taught the ladies group since way back, and is said to be the singer in the choir the whole congregation seems to admire. But unfortunately for little Miss McGuire there is now a hard decision to acquire. And as her church openly declares its separation from Israel, the question of the day is: “Will she stay or will she go now?” Allow me to give her Jesus’ advice: Wake up and take up your lamp for Israel. Quickly separate yourself from these anti-Israel statements, and save your own hide at midnight. She might also want to take her tithe out of that Israel-hating dive they ironically call a church.

But don’t feel alone Miss McGuire, for the same thing is happening today in almost every church where there is a true, oil-filled believer whom is on fire. Also on the other side of the aisle, God is like‚wise” commanding the Jews to leave their comfort zones and go back home. These tribes of Jacob are responding in record numbers, and even the Jews here are hearing this midnight cry to go out of America (as comfortable as it currently is) and return to Israel to help maintain their menorah. It is just the right (and smart) thing to do. Yeshua foretold it would all happen at midnight, which is the Greek word mesos, meaning, in the middle. Of course midnight is the separation between one day and a new day, and as the church rises up and calls for Israel’s fall, a new day will thus begin for Israel, and for all. Simultaneously, the clock on the church wall is ringing out, “last call” and as a Texan I must say, “wake up yall”. Unfortunately though, midnight is naturally a time of drowsiness, so inevitably there will be many churches which refuse to awaken to the midnight cry, and if your leadership there refuses to get it, then you must choose to split it.

Now as foretold in Christ’s description of this time which will initiate the beginning of His kingdom among His fellow Israelis, it will be a time to get up and get out. The American Jews know that God wants them out of this nation and back home to support and join with their families already in Israel, and the darkness will ultimately help them make their decision to arise from this place. The American Jews hold an important key to Israel’s ultimate success. They hold great resources of all kinds (from assets to ideas) and have historically been the most highly blessed and seemingly favored of the tribes of Jacob. Whereas there are approximately six million Jews living in Israel today, there are still over six million Jews residing in America who have a God-commissioned 12 o’clock midnight alarm ringing in their ears.

Psalms 119:62 “At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.”

Ironically, the same alarm is also ringing in the bell towers of the Christian church in this midnight hour. Yet, I am afraid Christianity has become so complacent and prideful in self-righteousness that many could sleep right through this midnight cry and consequently find themselves facing the dark “times” of God’s judgment totally unaware. For years now the Christian church has spiritualized the whole word of God and few take its advice literally anymore. Then there is replacement theology which has spread its stinky lie from pew to pew resulting in only the dedicated few who really knew its true toxicity. Therefore, midnight is about to strike and judgment will begin at the house of God.

So what should I do to make it through this midnight hour? I am glad you asked. If we understand these scriptures correctly, we should realize that we have each been called to be a bridesmaid, which plainly charters our direction: Be a maid to the bride. In Yeshua’s parable, each bridesmaid was given the responsibility of maintaining the light. This gives us clear direction that we are to protect and fulfill God’s will for Israel as Christ speaks to us in the ambiance of this Jewish union. To deny our Jewish roots or Israel’s existence (including all land borders) under an incorrect replacement theology will certainly be deemed foolish in this midnight hour. For the United Methodist Church’s leadership to openly state that “Israel is illegally occupying Palestine” certainly reveals a lack of knowledge in their heads and a lack of oil in their lamps. However, according to the mathematical formula given by Yeshua in the scriptural text of Matthew 25, exactly half of the Gentile church will not make the final cut because they were essentially too numb and dumb to awake to the simple fact that they are called to have a new zeal for the land and people of Israel.

Matthew 25:11-12 “Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.”

The smartest thing that I can recommend for you to do in this midnight hour is to disassociate from any and all Christian anti-Semitic churches (even if you have to resign from the choir) and find a real group of sheep which believe in Zionism in this late hour.

In fact, I am seeing this as a very common theme (it would seem) in these pre-dark days. Everywhere we go I talk to these Christians who know the truth about Israel, but had to leave their church which didn’t get it. Whereas they feel disconnected and alone, they are actually the wise ones and I want to encourage them for doing the right and bright thing. It is simple: if your church’s light for Israel has gone out, then so should you.

Still I fear that we could be required to do even more than leave our local anti-Israel church congregation. Could it be that we might even be forced to split from our nation? I strongly believe (and pray) that Texas will separate itself from the ungodly Union which America has become, and ensure our local success through this midnight secession. My advice to the leadership and citizens of Texas is to make a break for it before God vexes the United States for the hexes we have placed upon Israel. Perhaps then, as a new enlightened nation, we could keep our power as the clock strikes out-loud, the midnight hour. When that happens, we’ll leave the light on for you-all in California to make your way through this dark changing of the new day.

Without a doubt, the lights are soon to go out, as these remaining virgins persist to exist in anti-Semitic darkness. However, even with the electricity out as a sign of God’s disapproval of the nations’ attempt to extinguish Israel (the light to the world) there will still be half the Gentile church which remains dedicated to their dark anti-Israel positions. And so, as the prophecies go, so will the lights, even those way up high in the midnight sky. What am I talking about? Ezekiel continues his prophesies against America’s dark midnight plan to divide Israel’s land, and declares even more reasons why people will cry when looking up into the midnight sky.

Ezekiel 32:7-8,10 “And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light. All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord God…..Yea, I will make many people amazed at thee, and their kings shall be horribly afraid for thee, when I shall brandish my sword before them; and they shall tremble at every moment, every man for his own life in the day of thy fall.”

Perhaps it will take this drastic dark period before some people will see the light. Maybe then little Miss Mcquire from the Methodist choir will realize (by the absence of the heavenly lights in the skies) that her church was wrong, and she must now get alone. Maybe then, sitting in America’s dark sin, the leaders of Texas will move again to become the Lone Star who sees Israel’s importance from afar. Furthermore, will it also take this midnight date for the eastern sunrise nations to finally state their new zeal for The God of Israel?

This scripture in Ezekiel chapter 32, which details the date of the twelfth year and twelfth month (December 2012), also similarly describes what many have predicted could happen during the winter solace of December 2012: a time of total darkness. What exactly could cause this lack of light? First, we must spiritually realize that we have lost sight of the promise of salvation brilliantly illuminated to Abraham as he was told to look up at the stars as proof of God’s eternal covenant to give Israel both their land and their Messiah. We should also realize that darkness is simply an absence of this light. For nearly 40 years now every administration in America has opposed Israel’s simple right to their land of the menorah. God’s intended vocation for Israel has always been clear:

to be a light for the nations. But today, most nations (and churches)

seem to favor the darkness of the radical Islamic movement instead of the glowing truth of Israel’s Light. That, my friends, is a total absence of both logic and light.

How the darkness will actually manifest is yet to be revealed. Will it be through some cosmic alignment or some rare solar flares as some have predicted? Will it be through volcanic eruptions and the thick darkness of ensuing ash clouds? Or could it be at the hands of an Islamic attack, whether it be an EMP bomb which takes out all the electrical grids, or the dark clouds of Islamic atomic bombs in major American cities? Only God and the future can say for sure, yet Ezekiel did continue in this chapter to warn us of the latter.

Ezekiel 32:12 “By the swords of the mighty will I cause thy multitude to fall, the terrible of the nations, all of them: and they shall spoil the pomp of Egypt, and all the multitude thereof shall be destroyed.”

I hope that these scriptures are only speaking about Egypt of old. However, I fear that as a modern day Passover is put into the context of our modern day world, that we are that modern day Egypt which Ezekiel warned would likewise fall under the rod. This spiritual darkness which America has been dabbling in for nearly four decades is about to manifest into our physical realm as a time of darkness, and these severe Passover plagues will eventually enforce a coming out. However, once midnight strikes, there will be no selling your property for top prices any more. As well, there may not be any more gold to purchase and your deflated greenback could be little comfort if you are hungry and cold. Planes don’t fly well in volcanic ash clouds and there are not many ships with sails these days. Please hear me when I say, today is the convenient time to wake up, support Israel, and to separate yourself from any church (or nation) that refuses to wake up to the illuminating fact that the creator of heaven and earth is The God of Israel.

Flee With Me To NZ

Growing up in the Texas panhandle, an unwelcomed yet common occurrence was a strong late winter northern rolling in with its fierce winds and blacked-out skies. These cold fronts could be seen coming for miles upon the flat plains of West Texas and were always accompanied with lots of dust, rolling tumble weeds, and sometimes freez’n rain. The meteorological reason behind these storms was simply a clash between the seasons which frequently resulted in such atmospheric uplift that tornadoes came down to the ground. The old farmers at the coffee shop would simultaneously say, “March always comes in this way…like a lion, but will go out as a lamb”. These storms are forever associated in my mind with the “beep, beep, beep” sound interrupting the television broadcast, followed with a list of tornado warnings for multiple counties. Needless to say, there were some days that required more than for you to simply pray, and there were certainly those times when you had to quickly find a place of refuge.

With that said, let me interrupt this broadcast with an unpleasant beep and warn of the coming storm which is completely darkening our horizon. Again, the main reason behind this forming tempest is simply the clash of two seasons. After a long dormant period, our world (inclusive of you and me) has personally witnessed the spring shoots of the Jewish fig tree. Likewise, we have witnessed the remaining nations systematically compromise the fig tree’s land size. Thus we stand at the edge of the time of grace and now face a time of judgment. What I mean to say is there is now coming forth a dark day which will be Yeshua’s way of standing up for the land of Israel which the Gentile nations gave away. Now as we enter this violent and turbulent time of the Lamb becoming the Lion, a warning beep will complete the scriptural picture as the Lord gives space for a last minute race into the safe place. In fact, we should take heed from the tumble weed and roll with speed in front of this brewing storm.

Isaiah 17:13 “The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.”

This scripture details a stormy time when nations will resign to flee afar off, and for sure could be labeled a folklure. The actually interpretation of the word nation is defined in the Hebrew as people or folk. So, this scripture does say that soon people will flee far away, and yes, it can be addressed as a folktale as well. But what exactly could lure folk to remove to such remote places? This verse says HaShem will both rebuke and chase them like the West Texas wind flips over a tumble weed again and again, or like a strong mountain gale pursues the chaff until frail. Why would the Lord do that, you ask? The answer is given in context of a changing season and is explained as for thievery reasons.

Isaiah 17:14 “And behold at eveningtide trouble; and before the morning he is not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.”

Simply interpreted, forty years of snatching the Holy Land from out of the hands of the Jews has the Lord about to use the evening tides to drown the hides of Washington’s anti-Semites. This one drastic episode will likewise signify the end of the old way and the beginning of a brand new day for those whom were able to flee away, and is such scripturally noted as “the morning”. This earthquake and resulting tsunami which will hit this East Coast region by reason of America’s roadmap for peace will effectively release a remnant of American Jews to now personally choose to return to the land of promise. However, this land of promise destination will likewise break into two locations, one of which (of course) is Israel of old. So now with great haste please ask me, “Where is the other place?” The psalmist David asked the same question.

Psalms 139:7,9 “Whither shall I go from thy spirit? Or whither shall I flee from thy presence?…If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea: even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.”

More than likely, David had no geographical proof of the existence of these distant Islands of NZ which he was able to see by the Holy Spirit. How could he have known at that date and time that New Zealand (set on the dateline of time making it first to see each morning’s sunshine) would be a place for His people to flee to? Certainly David could not have understood of his own mind that these remote islands in the uttermost part of the sea would be (in time) a safe place of gathering for his Jewish brethren during an age of nuclear rage and other divine judgments. How did David come to understand this heavenly plan of a distant land becoming a place of Adonai’s healing hand leading his people there, and how did he know to compare this distant place with the right hand of HaShem’s comforting embrace? It had to be God. Still, I am impressed that David could see HaShem’s zeal so far abroad, and visualize the Lord’s future plan for this distant time and land. Then I get sad as my fellow believers of today are so far away from understanding what is so unbelievably near, and at hand.

Ok (you may say) let me get this straight. Are you actually saying that if I want to see protection for me and my family that I must flee to NZ? First of all, let me say that the scriptures define the day that we must flee away (not me) and that day has official arrived and is being biblically prescribed before our very eyes.

Psalms 11:1-3 “In the Lord put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain? For lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart. If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?”

The above scripture places this divine order to flee to the mountains in the context of two specific threats. The first is that of war, and today the Islamic nation of Iran is secretly preparing a nuclear missile whereby they say they may wipe Israel off the face of the map. Meanwhile, the American State Department takes a nap and further tells Israel not to preemptively attack. For that, I fear, this forming nuclear arrow is likely to hit more near our own soil and further spoil our Christian-Judeo foundation. As a matter of fact, this is the second attack of which the scripture warned way back, and further personified why you should pack. But if it is not obvious to you that our Christian-Judeo foundation has cracked than I suggest you remain in the sack and go ahead and complete your sleep. However, if you can awake before it is too late you might should take some scriptural advice and prepare for America’s demise. Just open your eyes and truthfully realize that the foundations of our great nation have officially become compromised. My years of experience in restoring houses tells me that if the foundation is badly cracked then the best thing I could do is pack.

Most Americans are raised with a sense of great patriotism concerning our nation that borders on the verge of indoctrination. From the tender grade of kindergarten, children in public schools are daily made to pledge an allegiance to the flag of our nation, not taking into consideration the biblical mandate to not make any such sworn pledges. Today, as American children raise their right hands to their hearts and pledge allegiance to our flag they become a dreadful part of America’s dark parting of HaShem’s land. Whereas being true and faithful to a nation is right, swearing is not, especially if the state has strayed away from the foundational principles of the Torah.

American patriotism reached its height during the fight of World War II. Rightfully so, since we showed our ability to prevail against the evil forces of hell. Most in Europe today have forgotten the way that our boys of World War II fought and died to see to their liberty restored from the Nazis and their anti-Semitic agenda. Whereas we thought we fought and totally defeated this wickedness, a seed of Hitler’s evil deeds were preserved and this old disease has unfortunately now become a large tree overshadowing a land called Iran.

In 1935, a delegation from the Middle Eastern nation of Persia traveled to Hitler’s Germany and there made a deal with the devil to partner with his sadistic agenda of ethnically cleansing the world of all Jewish blood. There, it was proposed by Hitler himself that this ancient 2600 year old kingdom of Persia change its name to replicate Satan’s hate against the chosen Hebrew seed. Persia agreed, and went home to soon become Iran and began to plan for phase two of this Aryan killing of the Jews. The changing of the ancient name of Persia to that of Iran was a major statement that Jewish hatred was now the main agenda of their nation. In fact, this is openly reflected in this Persian word “Iran” which means “the land of Aryans”.

As we come back to current events and consider this modern day Aryan threat against the Jewish existence in conjunction with Iran’s unwavering pursuit of a nuke, we must also realize the inevitability of another time of world war. Iran has the backing of Russia, which has not only supplied them with nuclear technology, but also threatens to attack back if any nation stops Iran’s radiation contemplation. Thus Iran’s attempt to build a nuclear arsenal will very likely unleash World War III. Now as we enter this time of nuclear war, does HaShem have any sheltered place in store?

Isaiah 25:4 “For thou hast been…a shadow (tzel) from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.”

This verse amazingly describes New Zealand as the God-given down-under atomic bunker for all His doomsday preppers. What am I talking about, you ask? The word shadow is again the Hebrew word tzel (pronounced zeal) and is used as the personification of Hashem’s covering for His people during a heated blast. Isaiah further details that this nuclear blast will be perpetrated by the terrible ones which is the Hebrew word aris meaning ruthless and cruel oppressor. The meaning of this word aris is very similar to the term Aryan, which is connected to an ancient society called Atlantis.

When Hitler began his tyrannical reign, one of the top priorities was to reestablish a master race out of the old Aryan bloodline. Hitler believed that the Germania people were a remnant from the ancient society of Atlantis which was destroyed or submersed by the sea. Not only did Hitler go to such lengths to eradicate any perceived non-Aryan blood from his culture, but he also set out very specific guidelines for the breeding of the perfect Aryan. One of the first steps was the establishment of his SS officers which were scrutiny screened to fit the Aryan mold of height, shoulder width, facial characteristics, and hostile aggressiveness. Once Hitler surrounded himself with these men of renown, he next ordered the daughters of Germany to bear children from these elite SS Aryan officers. This evil action was sold to the German public as the birthing of a thousand year Aryan reign of the motherland and become known as the Third Reich. Whereas this specific naming was said to identify the two past reigns of Germany, there was also a darker agenda behind this label.

Much of Hitler’s ideology was being patterned after two previous empires of which he idolized: Rome and the mystical Atlantis.

Hitler extensively studied the Roman Empire and eerily believed he could revise and conquer the same areas of Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Like Rome, Hitler began by preparing a vast army and war machine and likewise replicated many of their emblems, traditions, and strategies. Hitler even ruled Germany much like Cesar ruled over Rome. Ironically, Rome likewise believed in the mystical lost society of Atlantis and also attempted to resurrect this Aryan (or aris) bloodline and kingdom. Perhaps Hitler’s primary interest in the Roman Empire was its connection to Atlantis and this Aryan bloodline.

Whereas Atlantis and Hitler are now both at the bottom of the sea of history, their evil influences are not. In fact, Iran (whose name means land of the Aryan) would like nothing more than to ethnically cleanse the Middle East (and the world) of all Jewish blood. The real scary part is that they (like Hitler did) are boldly declaring what they plan to do and have openly pursued this nuclear capability by which they might make good on their threats. The question of the day is not if there will be war, but when? It would seem to be 1939 all over again and I fear for what will come next. Not only for the threatened Jews of our world, but also for our young men and women who will likely be drafted into this Middle East conflict. However, there is yet another negative effect which this Aryan threat will certainly have, and let’s just say that someone is gonna have to pay.

For all the financial ostriches out there with their heads buried in the markets, please try to see that America’s economy is on very thin ice today. After decades of out-of-control Washington spending and war mongering, after a century of unjust scales via the manipulation of the dollar away from the gold standard, and after years of the Fed’s subsequent printing on demand, our once world-recognized currency has lost its standing. It has become painfully evident that the American bash is out of cash and will soon crash. Or will they just continue to print more? Nevertheless, this looming next war could be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. In fact, the scripture has told us that this nuclear blast by the terrible ones will be like a storm against the wall, which I believe is referring to Wall Street.

Isaiah 25:4 “For thou hast been…a shadow (zeal) from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.”

I realize this is really bad news for all yous Americans, but there is still hope if you will simply begin to cope with what is biblically foretold, and start to make preparations for your immediate evacuation. As a country boy who has seen a-many-a-storm form let me now officially warn that the American horizon has black clouds of dread ahead and you are invited instead to flee with me to NZ and personally see God’s mercy in this time of calamity.

Psalms 57:1 “Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow (zeal) of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.”

Like the Psalmist, we too will likely cry out unto God for His mercy to be realized in this time of trouble when radiation fills the skies and the U.S. dollar simultaneously fries. However, what we must today know is that it is us (not God) that will be told to go. Most believers today will do nothing more than pray and then say that God will come and cover them. But the scripture defines that we must be the ones to get off our complacent behinds and find refuge under His wings from the terrible things coming. Call me simple-minded, but I see HaShem’s instructions to me during this time of calamity best defined by a common barnyard sign. In fact, this example of a mother hen covering her chicks could be a heavenly pattern for what the Lord expects.

Cluck and Duck

When the mother hen senses trouble forming she lets out a cluck-type warning and all her little ones run under her wings and duck. Today, the American church would rather say that there is no way that trouble will come our way, and even if it did, Jesus is obligate instead, to come and cover us from the dread. This is totally opposite of HaShem’s plan and simply stated, “You’re playing chicken with the Lord, man.” In fact, the people of Jerusalem way back, also took this defiant position of resisting to hurriedly scurry under Messiah’s wings at His bidding, and consequently suffered many terrible things.

Luke 13:34-35 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killeth the prophets, and stoneth them which are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate…”

Now as a prophet of my Master, allow me to plainly state that America has a date with disaster coming faster than anyone cares to realize. Even as it was foretold unto Jerusalem of old, Yeshua is now in the mood to say to the brood of the USA that a heated day does immediately lay on the horizon. Furthermore, as a man of the farm, allow me to sound this barnyard alarm which I call “cluck and duck”. That is to say that the proper way is for Him to simply warn and then for your little chicken feet to complete the faith you speak and come under His wings, immediately. Again, the Lord will cover those chicks that will run under His fixed wings and spare you many difficult things during these days of adversity. Whereas we are scripturally promised to find refuge under Messiah’s wings, (if we timely respond) could there also be a geographical destination beyond which gives physical place to Yeshua’s promise of protection and grace?

Psalms 91:1,4 “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow (zeal) of the Almighty…He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings (kanap) shalt thou trust…”

Location, location, location…is a common statement among those in real estate. Down on the farm, we say that it pays to be at the right place at the right time. The previous verse describes a secret dwelling place of our Lord and further defines this covert land as HaShem’s protection plan during very intense times of pestilence, and war. The psalmist further describes this location as shadowed with clouds even while using the Hebrew word zeal to make the reference to New Zealand real obvious. The psalmist continues his effort to reveal this secret land of Aotearoa by next introducing the whole cluck and duck scenario. He further wants the reader to know that it has been long foretold that you chicks which flee down under to NZ will certainly see the Lord’s covering.

Speaking of the Lord’s covering, it is His prayer shawl that is compared to the geographical location that He has prepared, and becomes the personification of a graceful relocation invitation. In fact, any real Rabbi of the Jewish faith is certainly cloaked with one of these outer garments which ironically includes locality and further explicitly refers to NZ. Allow me to explain.

The King James version of the Bible almost exclusively uses the word wings to interpret the Hebrew word kanap of the original text. Whereas this interpretation is partially correct, it does not fully personify why (or where) HaShem used this particular word to compare to the covering which He wears. This word kanap is actually referring to the corners of a Jewish prayer shawl, which when the wearer thereof lifts his arms to heaven, ironically looks a lot like the wings of a bird. Thus the King James interpretation of this word.

Psalms 91:4 “He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings (kanap) shalt thou trust…”

This word kanap (interpreted wings) not only means the outer fringe of this Jewish prayer shawl, but further implies a distant geographical location which is likewise a long ways from the chosen nation of the Ancient of Days. New Zealand is about as far away as the scriptures could say and very well may have been formed as a refuge from the coming storm. As HaShem finally answers the years of Jewish prayers and lifts up His covering while the radiation begins hovering, this remote corner of the world could be the geographic location of the promised healing manifestation.

Malachi 4:1 “For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day cometh that shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.”

New Zealand, as the most eastern nation on Planet Earth, fits well into this verse, as it is the first to see the rising of the sun each morning. Nevertheless, this scripture more accurately addresses a heated morning when the Sun of Zion arises and fries those nations which compromised on His land size. The scriptural clue of the “oven” is the glue that should help you put that together too. Next, this scripture details a wonderful promise of covering from the heat which will be hovering as the response of the Almighty Oven. Again, this protected place of HaShem is defined as down-under His wings. Perhaps the warning “cluck” here is the fear of nuclear war in store for those who would not hear the commandment to restore the Jewish homeland, but rather demanded its surrender. Therefore, the “duck” part will soon start as economies fall apart and world war again starts. The word wings used is again the Hebrew word kanap meaning the outer fringes of a Jewish prayer shawl with the additional reference to an end-of-the-earth geographical location. Therefore, this scripture could simply be defined as “cluck and duck”. That is to say, nuclear war is on its way and you should flee with me under the wings, and experience this promised healing in New Zealand. So allow me now to emphatically convey that you quickly make your way through the press of all this current mess and grab hold of this distant address.

Luke 8:43-44 “And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.”

There is a story in the Brit Chadashah (New Testament) about a woman with an issue of continual blood flow which seemed to know about this same promise of healing under Yeshua’s wings. Possibly she was familiar with Malachi’s prophesy, or perhaps it was just chance. Regardless, as Yeshua passed through her land she pressed through the crowd and touched the remote border of His prayer shawl. The Bible records that as she grabbed hold of this lower fringe of his garment, the virtue of the Lord came out of Him and her blood stopped its continuous flow. The virtue that came to this woman is translated dynamis in the Greek, which is defined as the Holy Spirit power of God that makes us complete.

Acts 1:8 “But you shall receive power (dynamis) after that the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all of Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”

The above scripture is recorded as Yeshua’s last conversation with the disciples before His ascension. In this, His last will and testament, Jesus gave a promise that four distinct geographical locations would experience the Holy Spirit dynamis power: Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the uttermost part of the earth. The uttermost part of the earth reference used here is the Greek word eschatos meaning the last, lowest, or the least. This Greek word was used to denote these definitions in the context of both time and place. So again, we find another reference specifically detailing New Zealand as a place of healing grace in the coming times. Plus, since the last are biblically detailed to be first, this promise of a great move of the Holy Ghost will begin at these remote coasts of Aotearoa.

In fact, this story of the woman with the issue of blood is perhaps a biblical indication to a certain geographical location where healing glory will be released. But first, let us address this woman who pressed through the crowd. This woman was Jewish and can represent Israel and the Jewish people whom have long had an issue with the Christian New Testament blood claim. However, instead of condemning their unbelief, let us truthfully see that it was their God-given destiny not to see, and therefore be a vital part of the healing of my Gentile heart. Let me plainly state that if HaShem had not made them to be cast out of Jesus’ camp (because of this issue of blood) then you and me would never have seen the grace of their Jewish Messiah’s face. Without a doubt their years of tears and blood were divinely ordered from above and even allowed as part of the purchase price of the Gentile crowd. So, if this woman represents the Jewish people, and her flow of blood represents the New Testament gospel plan to the Gentile nations via her pain and degradation, then this is ultimately a story of her restoring glory. That is to say, that there is coming a day when the long flowing period of grace extended to the nations (via her disgrace) will soon stop flowing, and the Jewish Messiah will turn His face with grace to His own personal race.

Mark 5:30 “And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?

As this Hebrew woman with the issue of blood pressed through the crowd and touched Yeshua’s clothes, the power of God was released to her, the blood stopped flowing, and she was miraculously healed. Furthermore, the Lord turned His face to this woman who had long been disgraced because of her issue of blood. But this woman did not just touch any random part of the garment of the Lord, she specifically reached for the hem of HaShem. In fact, the actual Greek word is himation which specifically references a cloak or robe, and further identifies the remote or bottom fold of this prophetic robe. A hem is the point where two separate pieces of cloth are brought together via a piercing process we call sowing.

Today our world stands at the cross roads between an expiring time of grace for the Goyim (Gentile nations) and the long awaited times of Israel repayment and restoration. It will be a very unique season in the sense that both Jews and Gentiles will be simultaneously receiving healing. In fact, a folding (or hemming) together into the one new man has already began. Yet there is also attached a certain remote border that ultimately will bring a greater order to this heavenly promised release from the old disease of anti-Semitism. New Zealand, as the world’s most remote border and outer fringe nation certainly has a calling to hem together Jew and Gentile like the birds of a feather. But initially, this land of NZ has the great responsibility to be a place of safety and peace in a time of rampant disease and destructive war.

Psalms 91:1,3-5 “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow (zeal) of the Almighty. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings (kanap) shalt thou trust…Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day.”

Allow me to interpret this popular scripture in a very coherent way for our day. Because the nations have disregarded HaShem’s command to restore, there is now coming forth a day of pestilence and war. It predicts these atomic missiles launched by the hand of terrorists and likewise warned of the terrible pestilence that will certainly follow. On the other hand, this verse also addresses a safe place referenced as “under his wings” which certain means the remote border of which this book attempts to put in order. Perhaps even the year was foretold by this scripture of old: Could this reference to “noon-day” be the Lord’s way of saying 2012?

Psalms 91:6 “Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noon-day.”

One thing is for certain, it is straight up 12 o’clock and a new day is beginning, albeit no one sees it. Simultaneously, the dark curtain of radical Islam is being drawn across the nations of this world. Terrorist bases in nuclear capable nations such as Pakistan, North Korea, and now possibly Iran, makes this threat of nuclear terrorist attacks (and the resulting dark and pestilence that would follow) a very real possibility. A very dreadful result of a nuclear battle would be the dark shadow of electromagnetic pulses that follow and shallow up the grid. In effect, every personal digital devise would be rendered ineffective, from your cell phone to every electrical devise in your home, and possibly even all forms of transportation. Immediately, every business from Main Street to Wall Street would likewise be completely darkened, and a resulting panic would certainly fan it. That is to say, that the pestilence which walks in darkness and the destruction foretold to happen at noonday will not be able to be restrained. Simply said, there is prophetically ahead a time of trouble which will likely start as a nuclear struggle that also sets technology back and literally brings a time of black and lack upon the world. Yet in all this warning of troubled times ahead, the Lord specifically commands us not to dread, and has further said to find refuge and safety in a certain place instead. Again, this prepared “Goshen” of these separated isles in the ocean is biblically referenced as a “secret place of the most High” and is further revealed as a cloud of zeal. Still, I must reprimandingly remind you that your sole role is to respond to the warning cluck, and immediately run down-under His wings and duck.

The Basement

I realize now that this bond I feel for New Zealand, Yeshua has been imparting unto me since I was a child. For as long as I can remember I have had a reoccurring dream about a sky full of tornadoes which all form together and cause an unimaginable disaster. Yet in every dream, (and I have had these for the last 35 years) the Lord provides for me a refuge in a cellar. From down-under I can hear the storms raging and keep paging for others to join me. The most disturbing part of this reoccurring dream is that not one person seems to listen to my cries and bidding to find refuge with me in the basement below. Even more upsetting is the fact that some of the ones I am crying out to are those who are closest to me: friends and family.

This nightmare seems to be coming true today. As I look out into the immediate future of our nation I can only see disaster. I wish I could prophesy peace and safety like many others, but that (unfortunately) is not the future my Lord is warning me of. I have taken fully for myself the warning which Yeshua is giving me and I am beginning today to take my first couple of steps down-under towards the safe place of New Zealand that God has prepared for me. Meanwhile, my heart is breaking for so many good Christian people who think me extreme to make such a drastic move because of some dreams. It certainly has not been an easy decision as it requires us to make a division with basically everything and everyone we know, and go to the end of the earth.

Well, (you say) America has seen hard times before, and we will prevail this time as well. In fact, don’t pack and move so far away, but rather devote to hope and pray, and then everything will be ok (I have heard them say). Admittedly, it would certainly be easier for me to stay, pray and believe that it will be ok. However, I know for a fact that would be contradictory to everything the King of Jews has used to warn me otherwise. With that said, last year I had another dream in which I again have seen the Lord telling me to find refuge from the disastrous events being staged upon America. In this dream, I am standing at the edge of a set of stairs leading down into a basement and holding in my hands two large cotton sacks full of golden torch tips (like are used to heat metal with). Because these tips were solid gold, I believe the Lord’s tip is to buy gold during these heated times. Next, I began to walk down the stairs and as I got half way down I found a room where a church service was being held. There were a dozen or so ministers there and they were just beginning to get a revelation that what we do to Israel, Israel’s God will do to us. In the middle of these church leaders was standing another minister, or so everyone else thought.

But I immediately recognized His eyes and knew that this One was Yeshua. When He saw that I recognized Him, He came over to me and cupped His hands and whispered a secret into my ear, “Tomorrow America will be attacked”. So I urgently proceeded down the remainder of steps and placed my golden torch tips inside a closet in the basement.

Today it is evident to anyone with eyes to see that America’s economy (and even our whole society) is in trouble. But few have the time or inclination to parallel our problems with the trouble we have instigated in Israel. I believe the Lord was warning me of a heated time of judgment coming upon our nation and financial system. I also know that gold will be the only safe currency in the times ahead as the U.S. dollar falls head first. But the main thing I have seen in this dream was the Lord telling me about a secret place to go as this time of trouble begins to grow a New Zeal for The God of Israel.

Psalms 91:1,3 “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow (zeal) of the Almighty…Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

Whereas most Christians believe that Jesus is their spiritual place of safety, the above verse actually refers to a literal “secret place” and indeed informs us of a specific geographical location which will be a physical place of Yeshua’s protection. Psalms 91 amazingly describes this secret dwelling place of our Lord and further defines this covert land as HaShem’s protection plan during very intense times of pestilence, war and much more. The psalmist further describes this location as shadowed with clouds even while using the Hebrew word zeal to make the hidden message of New Zealand even more real. Then, the psalmist extends his effort to reveal this secret place by next tickling the mind of the reader with some heavenly feathers.

Psalms 91:1,4 “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow (zeal) of the Almighty…He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings (kanap) shalt thou trust…”

This word kanap (interpreted wings) not only means the outer fringe of this Jewish prayer shawl but further implies a distant geographical location which is likewise a long ways from the head place of the Ancient of Days. New Zealand is about as far away as the scriptures could say and very well may have been formed as a refuge during this coming storm.

Growing up in tornado alley, we were always quite aware of turbulent air and were frequently forced down stairs. Mom and dad’s house actually had two basements, one of which I claimed for my own bedroom. Talk about good sleeping: I could get down there and forget there was an upside to the world. Plus, I never really had to worry when a storm came up for I was safe and sound down-under. But one thing bad about the basement was the water problem. If it came a really big rain, the same leaked into my own little hiding place. That brings me back to the hiding place of NZ.

For those who are geographically challenged, let me say that New Zealand is the basement of the world. You really can’t go any further down-under without living on the Antarctic with a bunch of penguins. This basement of the world is also quite isolated and seemingly separated from the remaining land masses and continents. Respectfully so, New Zealand would seem to be a hiding place for those who would want to live a quiet and removed life from the hustle and bustle type. In fact, as the Lord began showing me these impending disasters determined upon America as the product of dividing His land, He also cupped his hands and secretly spoke to me about NZ, and thus this book. Let me first simply say, that New Zealand will become a place of refuge from the stormy days which ominously are forming on the not so distant horizon. This remote land on the bottom fringes of our world will effectively become the world’s basement, and both Jews and Christian Zionists will flock there together (like the birds of a feather) to find refuge in the days of God’s new zeal. However, the Bible does warn that waters could first come and overflow this hiding place, perhaps as a judgment for its own political positions and support of dividing Israel’s land. The effects (I suspect) of these initial judgments and tsunamis will be to cleanse this place and people of any and all anti-Israel lies.

Isaiah 28:17 “Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.”

In the early morning hours of January 1, 2011, the Lord woke me and spoke to me, “Ezekiel 26”. I quickly got up and went to my office where I daily study and read His words written to us all. To my surprise, this scripture seemingly was alive and actively predicting our time and current events to the tee. It was almost as if this Tenach (Old Testament) prophet Ezekiel was writing about our time and speaking of our current events, only with Tyrus mentioned instead of America.

Ezekiel 26:1-2 “And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Son of man, because that Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem, aha, she is broken that was the gates of the people: she is turned unto me: I shall be replenished, now that she is laid waste.”

This scripture really had my full attention and I realized that The God of Israel was intently watching our current news and the nations’ demonic push against Jerusalem. What made this verse so alive was the date it listed (1-1-11) as I too was awakened to the word of the Lord and the new year of 2011. My mind quickly went back a few months and remembered that Obama had promised on September 1, 2010, “Next year Jerusalem” to the enemies of Israel. This promise effectively rips off the gates of the old city of Jerusalem to give to the terrorist regime of Hamas. Somehow, American policy believes that for our nation to succeed we need to take away Jerusalem from the Jews. Tyrus seemed to have that exact same political plan and likewise interfered in HaShem’s land. However, the result of their position caused The God of Israel to position Himself against them.

Ezekiel 26:3-4 “Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Tyrus, and I will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the sea causeth his waves to come up. And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, and break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock.”

Fast forward some 3000 years and America would seem to have an identical political position (and pride) of wanting to subdivide Jerusalem. Now then, because HaShem awoke me to this scripture, I must take the liberty to declare that our nation will also see a wave of destruction come in on this tide of anti-Israel pride. Again the Lord has been very specific with me that this East Coast region of the United States will bear the brunt of a divine reaction to the proposed (and coerced) division of Jerusalem. The 9.0 earthquake which the Lord has shown me, along with the two 7.5 and 7.4 aftershocks, will result in huge waves of water that will effectively destroy many of the cities of this region. New York was built on the sea, and because this place of refuge has now become the epicenter of anti-Israel propaganda (via the U.N.) a tremendous wave of destruction will soon come in.

Ezekiel 26:17, 19 “And they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and say to thee, How art thou destroyed, that wast inhabited of seafaring men, the renowned city, which was strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, which cause their terror to be on all that haunt it!…For thus saith the Lord God; When I shall make thee a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I shall bring up the deep upon thee, and great waters shall cover thee.”

So what does this have to do with New Zealand, you ask? Well, for some reason God has connected these far off islands to the fall of America, and denotes that the islands will shake during America’s collapse. Perhaps this too is a judgment against New Zealand’s ungodly support of America’s roadmap for peace plan. Or maybe it is simply the Father directly demanding the immediate arise of this down-under nation. Regardless, New Zealand is today being shaken, and could be shaken even greater as America falls.

Ezekiel 26:15 “Thus saith the Lord God to Tyrus; Shall not the isles shake at the sound of thy fall, when the wounded cry, when the slaughter is made in the midst of thee?”

Perhaps a partial explanation of the two mega-quakes which have hit and so injured Christchurch, New Zealand is simply a scriptural fulfillment and even a biblical signal that America is soon to fall. Most theologians will tell you that it seems there is no America in the whole scheme of end-time themes. If that is so, and America must prophetically go, then what is to happen to good God-fearing people like myself? (no pride meant). Will we be able to escape, or will we likewise fall into a pit? Actually, that is exactly what Ezekiel continues to say.

Ezekiel 26:20 “When I shall bring thee down with them that descend into the pit, with the people of old time, and shall set thee in the low parts of the earth, in places desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit, that thou be not inhabited; and I shall set glory in the land of the living.”

There is a lot to dissect from this one verse, and several different ways one could read it and believe it. For our time (and for my life) this scripture speaks of a dissention in the time of Israel’s ascension. The context of Ezekiel 26 is one of judgment upon a nation which tries to take Jerusalem away from the Jews. This judgment results in that nation’s fall instead, and at the end of the day, Jerusalem and Israel seem to be the ultimate benefactors. Ezekiel wraps up this chapter by saying that God will instead set glory in the land of the living even as He simultaneously destroys the powers coming against it.

Yet the question remains: Will a just Judge irrationally bring down all Americans simultaneously with America, or will He provide a safe place for those of us to weather the storms that are now forming? When I see a storm arising, I instinctively look for a basement to go down into. If there is no basement to be found, then a subterranean hole or pit of some kind will do the trick as well.

The God of Israel seems to respect this kind of reasoning and likewise foretold that as America comes down during this forming storm, so too will many Zionistic Americans descend into a basement nation in the lower part of the earth.

Ezekiel 26:20 “When I shall bring thee down with them that descend into the pit, with the people of old time, and shall set thee in the low parts of the earth, in places desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit, that thou be not inhabited; and I shall set glory in the land of the living.”

Another extremely interesting fact we must glean from this prophetic scripture is the reference to a certain people who have long lived in this subterranean nation of New Zealand which are biblically referenced as “the people of old time”.

Chapter 6

The Sons of Shem

As legend goes “the land of the long white cloud” was fished out of the South Pacific by a fierce Maori warrior. Perhaps a more scientific explanation of the birth of this island nation is actually three tectonic plates colliding and pushing up a spectacular mountainous land. These remote Isles of New Zealand are not only located at the end of the world, but are said to have been the last place on earth discovered by man. Whereas New Zealand was not officially settled by the British until the early 1880’s, there were, however, “a people of old time” already there who today are known as the Maori. Legend passed from their ancestors tell a story of a brave Polynesian man named Kupe who ventured out and found these islands sometime around 950 AD. Some four centuries later a fleet of canoe voyaging Maori men made their way to these islands using Kupe’s directions and were actually the first inhabitants of this awesome land which they immediately named Aotearoa, (the land of the long white cloud). These first Maori tribesmen were said to be the descendants of Noah’s son Shem, who after the great flood, settled in the east and then later the islands of the Pacific.

It would actually be another 300 years before the first white man would come to know that this distant land even existed, as Abel Tasman would sail by these remote islands. History teaches that as he tried to dock his ship, hostile Maori attacked and clubbed four of his crewmen to death. Tasman immediately set sail and the islands remained solely in the Maoris’ possession for another 120 years, until 1769 when British Capitan James Cook would also discover this secret hideaway land. By 1840, an agreement between the British and 50 Maori chiefs, referred to as the Treaty of Waitangi, gave the British an open door to settle in these islands. However, the wording of this treaty was soon questioned and resulting war broke out between the British and the Maori. As fierce and brave as the Maori men were, the guns of the British were hard to match, and the Maori, who had for so long lived and loved these special islands, found themselves being uprooted and now outcasts within their own country. It was during this difficult time that these Maori tribes effectively united together under a prophetic leader named Te Ua Haumene.

Te Ua, who had become a believer in Christ through an English missionary, also believed that the Maori people had a unique covenanted relationship to God, even as the Israelites of old. Te Ua held that the Maori were the descendants from Noah’s son Shem and believed that the English (or whites) where descendants from Noah’s son Japheth. Thus Jesus was the God of the sons of Japheth, while Jehovah was the God of the sons of Shem. He further held the position that God had chosen the Maoris as a special people and insisted (similar to Jewish law) that no stranger was to be allowed to dwell among them. However, exceptions were made in respect of the Jews, who Te Ua recognized as also being in that same chosen lineage as the Maori by having Shem as their common progenitor.

Interestingly enough, Te Ua, without being taught this heavenly principle by the British missionaries, had the divine understanding and revelation that the God he was now in covenant with (through Christ’s atonement) was The God of Israel. Te Ua further held that both the Jews and the Maori had been persecuted and oppressed by the whites (Pakehas) and sympathetically compared the Maori’s plight of losing their lands and lives, to that of the Jewish Diaspora. This commiseration to the afflicted nation of Israel was further personified in the naming of the priest of his new faith by the word Teu, meaning Jew. However, unlike the majority of Christianity of his day, the Hauhauism movement which Te Ua fathered did not try to replace, subvert, or persecute the Jews. On the contrary, Te Ua saw the Jews as God’s chosen people and actually gave special privilege to anyone that was known Jewish. This partiality he felt toward the Jewish race was actually displayed by the sparing of the life of Captain Levy, who was a Jewish Englishman caught while fighting against the Maoris. Today, some New Zealand Christians (especially the white ones) view Te Ua’s Hauhauism faith as cultish. Whereas some of his actions and rituals may have been strange, Te Ua was certainly in tune with The God of Israel when it came to the Jews. In fact, even way back then, Te Ua was prophetically walking out HaShem’s divine destiny for these set apart islands and these chosen sons of Shem.

The term anti-Semitism is a word which describes the hatred of the Jewish race which was actually formed (or named) in the crucibles of the Russian pogroms against the Jews in the late 1800’s. Ironically, this was the exact same time the Maori were fighting for their own lands and existence. Israel and the Jewish race can be traced back to their ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. However, it is important to see that Shem (the son of Noah) is actually the root shoot in this chosen tree. Again, this term anti-Semitism actually is referencing this first chosen man, Shem, who would be the original responsible party to ultimately bring forth a Jewish Messiah who would live, die, and be raised again for the world’s transgressions and sins. Therefore, the litmus test for those who are truly in covenant with The God of Israel can be addressed as the Shem test. In other words, you can’t accept Jesus while rejecting the Jews and expect to gain entrance into HaShem’s kingdom. Nor can a nation legitimately claim to be a Christian country and then vote to divide the Jewish homeland and expect Yeshua to bless your anti-Semitic plans.

Similar to the Maori plight, one has to look no further than the land again today to see this classic struggle between good and evil. Self-proclaimed Christian leaders such as Jimmy Carter, George Bush, Bill Clinton and Barak Obama have each represented themselves as Christians, yet have shown the opposite satanic tendencies via their anti-Semitic policies and agendas. The struggle of the Maoris to preserve their lands was ultimately a struggle to preserve their national existence. They feared that the rapid loss of territory would even threaten their survival as a people. Today, another chosen nation which has descended from Shem is in a struggle to hold onto their lands and their very own national existence. Israel is now being told by the current American anti-Semitic President (Obama) that they must go back to the pre-1967 lines. This would leave Israel only 8 miles wide with terroristic nations on all remaining sides. This would almost ensure the death of this afflicted people and most assuredly would execute their national destiny. Israel has seen treaty after treaty first be misrepresented, and then outright broken. Meanwhile, almost every nation in the world is in agreement that Israel should surrender even more of their little piece of the earth to radical régimes dedicated to their hurt. With that said, I wonder if there is anyone out there instead that is not anti-Semitic?

Maori Warriors

For anyone who has witnessed the beginning of an All-Blacks’ rugby match, you know as I do that the Maori people and their customs are extremely intense. These “people of old time” cannot be accused of being a race without spirit or passion. The Haka (the war dance which I am referring to) is a must see if you really want to experience or begin to understand the zeal of the Maori people.

As you watch the Haka, you will first see the intensity of the vigorous Maori culture. Then secondly, you will get the impression that these tribal people have a warrior-type ancestry and a spirit of strength which is somewhat intimidating, even if it is just a dance. The first time I saw the Haka performed, my mind went back in time to the English-Maori wars. I imagined how frightening it must have been to face an enemy of such fierce intensity who was threatening to kill you, cut your head off, and perhaps even eat you.

Today the Maori people won’t eat you, but instead they peacefully share their beautiful islands with the descendants of these original English invaders. Since those first wars of the 1860’s there has been a remarkable peace and even friendship between these now fellow countrymen. Many of the Maori have resultantly adopted the Anglican or Catholic based faiths which are predominate in the islands now. Unfortunately, these two faiths are infamous for their anti-Semitic doctrines and actions. Whereas peace and assimilation with the English was required and eventually became prosperous for both the English and the Maori, these original island people have effectively comprised their ancestral leaders pro-Israel origins for a version of anti-Semitic Christianity. Nevertheless, a spiritual revival for these Maori tribes is today at hand and will begin in the dark days we are now entering. As this dark worldwide agenda of separating the Jews from their lands again results in actual darkness covering the earth, the Maori warrior spirit must be quickly reborn and then perform their Haka dance. It will be these warriors and their stance which will give New Zealand another chance to see the Sun as HaShem rises to defend Israel’s land covenant. As this transfiguring time of zeal is revealed, a new generation of fierce Maori warriors could finally realize their prophetic role as the defenders of the land and people of Israel, as biblically foretold.

2 Kings 1:8 “…He was a hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.”

The words and dance of the Haka seem to have long known (and even prophetically shown) the difficult history which the Maori people would undergo. But perhaps what few know is that this dance also shows their next move of taking pro-Israel steps which will lead their down-under nation out of the anti-Semitic hole that the church and state has dug. Interesting to me, is how the words of this Haka dance not only predicted the darkness, but also New Zealand’s rise as the first nation in the world that will open their eyes to HaShem’s chosen people who have long been despised. This Haka dance (and a zealous Maori display) could lead the way into a brand new day as the Sun rises to burn out the anti-Semitic compromises which have been perpetrated by America’s roadmap for peace plan. The following are the words to the Ka Mate Haka dance:

Ka mate! Ka mate! Ka ora! Ka ora!

I die! I die! I live! I live!

Ka mate! Ka mate! Ka ora! Ka ora!

I die! I die! I live! I live!

Tenei te tangata puhuru huru

This is the hairy man

Nana nei i tiki mai

Who fetched the Sun

Whakawhiti te ra

And caused it to shine again

A upa … ne! ka upa… ne!

One upward step! Another upward step!

A upane kaupane whiti te ra!…… Hi!

An upward step, another…the Sun shines, Dawn!

Ka mate! Ka mate! Ka ora! Ka ora! I die! I die! I live! I live! Ka mate! Ka mate! Ka ora! Ka ora! I die! I die! I live! I live! Tenei te tangata puhuru huru This is the hairy man Nana nei i tiki mai Who fetched the Sun Whakawhiti te ra And caused it to shine again A upa … ne! ka upa… ne! One upward step! Another upward step!

A upane kaupane whiti te ra!…… Hi! An upward step, another…the Sun shines, Dawn!

During the war with the British, Te Ua and his united Maori warriors made the declaration that they were the sons of Shem, and that their God would deliver them from the British aggressiveness. Eventually, they were out manned and out gunned and the result was the loss of much of their precious lands. But could it be that HaShem allowed them to lose their beloved land so that the Maori of today could be empathetic to the way that the chosen people of Israel are losing the same? Perhaps the Almighty also knew that these British immigrants could likewise learn the Haka, and alongside the Maori, chant in this new day dawning for the long persecuted Jewish race. Perhaps now the Maori and British peoples of New Zealand can finish their fight, yet this time united together against anti-Semitism, and for the cause of Israel. If you listen you can hear this truth in the truth.

Isaiah 41:1-6 “Keep silent before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let us come near; then let them speak; let us come near together to judgment. Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to his foot, and gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? He gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven stubble to his bow. He pursued them, and passed safely; even by the way that he had not gone with his feet. Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the Lord, the first and with the last; I am he. The isles saw it, and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came. They helped every one his neighbor; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage.”

The Maori spirit which was displayed by Te Ua is scripturally predicted to once again rise in the coming time of judgment. This time their British countrymen will begin to understand this zeal and will come alongside and fight this good fight of faith. Now is the time, as all the nations are officially against Israel, and the dark Muslim influence is invading your islands to try and steal your zeal. I believe the God of Shem has remembered the zeal of the Maori people earlier proclaimed and displayed for his chosen people Israel, and will now honor their fellow Semitic heritage and even give the nations before them. The “land of the long white cloud” will flow together with their ancient Jewish brothers and finally fulfill their God-given destiny of covering the Jewish people. The dormant Maori warrior spirit will be awakened by this rising dawn and will shine forth the radiant rage of the Almighty in the judgment day of God’s zeal. What exactly does that mean? I envision a brave Maori son of Shem warrior standing as a representative of New Zealand before the General Assembly of the United Nations zealously and fervently declaring the judgment of The God of Israel against the nations’ anti-Semitism in a Haka war dance for the Almighty. Wow, I can’t wait to see that.

If the Maori people will take upon themselves this role of declaring God’s zeal and anger unto the nations, and take upon Israel’s enemies as their own, the Almighty will not only give them the strength of Samson, but He will give the Maori power over the elements of the earth and personally visit them in a great time of revival. In fact, there is a documented statement which the Maori leader Te Ua declared in the midst of the war with the English which not only revealed his pro-Jewish beliefs, but was perhaps a prophesy for the dawning days that are now at hand for New Zealand and the Maori people. Below is his quote:

“The Lord of Hosts has given to the natives the sword of Samson and of Gideon; the sword by which the Philistines and the Midianites were overpowered. This is Gabriel the Archangel. He has come down like a mighty flood upon his people and upon the ruler who is anointed over them. He commands you to stay the fair winds of heaven, and that all the people shall take upon them the solemn oath…. If you obey this command your God will come down upon this land. It is because he loves his people and is about to restore you to your rock, which is Jehovah.”

The promise contained in this prophesy which I strongly believe was from The God of Israel, basically says that if the Maori will take the solemn oath of defending Israel, both as a land and a people chosen of God, then will the Almighty come down upon New Zealand like no other nation has ever experienced. Also referenced in the prophecy was the Maoris’ calling to take up the sword of the Lord against the Philistines. Today, America (and most of the world) is systematically declaring Israel as a Palestinian state. The word Palestine was a name devised by the Roman invaders of the land of Israel to further mock the Jews by naming their covenanted lands after their ancient enemy, the Philistines. Will the Maori take up the sword of their ancestor Te Ua and fight for Israel against this Palestinian lie? If the Maori will awaken to this fight it will not only unite their tribes again, but the Pakehas (whites) will follow you into this spiritual fight. The Islamic hatred of the Jews is officially flooding the Middle East today and they are proclaiming the death of Israel and the birth of Palestine. Meantime, most of NZ’s church blindly believes this Palestinian fabrication, so today that may only leave one real hope for the nation of Aotearoa. I believe the Lord is calling these Maori warriors to put their foot down for His personal ground. And as the sons of Shem, chant out load for Him, a rage-filled, Yehovah empowered Haka during these coming days of judgment. As a matter of fact, this was prophetically detailed way back.

Isaiah 41:1-2 “Keep silent before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let us come near; then let them speak; let us come near together to judgment. Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to his foot, and gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings?”

The Bible has scripturally referenced these Maori warriors as “a righteous man from the east” who will speak from “the islands” and further references a calling to “his foot”. Aotearoa’s north island, where most of the Maori families reside, is ironically shaped like a foot (more to come on this subject later). It seems plain to see that the Maori have a very detailed mission during the days of God’s rage, which if fulfilled will not only open a new page for this land of New Zeal, but will further ensure Hapa from the heavenly Papa.

Hapa! Hapa! Hapa!

When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Bible says the Spirit of God will raise up the standard against him. As the British army came into New Zealand against these ancient people of the flood, the Maori warriors were instructed by Te Ua to perform a ritual which seemed to have some kind of miraculous power that kept them from being hit by the overwhelming gun power of the English. These Maori warriors would boldly stand in the face of these out matched odds, and with one hand raised at face level with palm towards the enemy, they would declare, Hapa! Hapa! Hapa! There are several recorded accounts of the English bullets supernaturally not being able to hit their Maori targets during this bold act by these sons of Shem. But was there some prophetic meaning behind this Maori action and declaration which invoked HaShem’s favor and protection?

These Maori words, “Hapa, Hapa, Hapa” when interpreted actually mean “Passover, Passover, Passover”. Perhaps it was their bold raising of the standard against this flood of the enemy which ultimately invoked angelic protection for these descendants of Noah. Like we say in Texas, “This aint my first rodeo”. Likewise, these people of the flood (Maori) are no stranger to rising above the floods of life. Regardless, this raising of their hand (and standard) in the face of the flood had undeniable proven success. However, did this ritual (and the actual words spoken during it) have a deeper meaning that perhaps was predicting a future time when the Maori islands will become a safe place in the coming times of flood and war? Or was this angelically ordered declaration (introduced by Te Ua) actually pointing to a future God-given commission for the Maori to boldly stand in the days of God’s judgment and declare to an upside down world, Passover, Passover, Passover?

The Jewish faith is commanded by their God to keep an annual festival called Passover. This is the annual remembrance and celebration of how The God of Israel supernaturally destroyed Egypt through a series of 10 plagues which set the captive Jewish people free and initiated their return to the land which HaShem promised them. This original Passover event, which ravaged Egypt, was accompanied by terrible signs and wonders. There were natural disasters of all kinds being daily the headline news, inclusive of dark days and nights of death. There were likewise unexplainable phenomenons, such as the splitting of the sea, by which Israel walked through without even getting mud on their shoes. Needless to say, it was a day of the supernatural, and all for the sole purpose of delivering God’s chosen people Israel. Simultaneously, the whole world got the revelation that the real superpower of the world was not Egypt, but rather The God of Israel.

Speaking of Revelation and Passover, this last book in the Bible and that end of time episode are today coming together again into one action-packed event. Likewise, supernatural occurrences are again being staged to tear apart the enraged anti-Semitic Gentile nations. Once again Passover and Revelation will release to all observers, the eye opening fact that Israel’s God is jealous for His own land and people. In fact, the plagues listed in the book of Revelation could already be beginning as Yeshua stands up for this menorah nation of Israel which the world today is trying so hard to put out their lights. However, there is always another specific human participant who is also called to lift up their hand in these Passover events. Just as Moses was called to lift up his hand to begin the first Passover in Egypt, today another palm or two will be used to declare Passover! Passover! Passover! In fact, just as Te Ua and his Maori warriors declared (with palm in air) there has been three Passovers heavenly staged upon this old world of ours. Again, the first Passover was seen upon Egypt, and the last Passover is vividly explained and described in the book of Revelation, but where is the middle one, you ask?

Before I answer, allow me to describe the main themes of Passover. First of all there comes a hardening of the hearts of those who are in leadership (both church and state) against God and against His chosen people Israel. Therefore, Passover is God’s way of bringing down nations while lifting up and out those inside it whom have been oppressed. These Passover events become evident by a series of resulting supernatural plagues or judgments inclusive of droughts, famines, water contamination, destructive storms, earthquakes, agricultural devastations, days without the sun, signs in the moon and stars, and more. All three Passover scenarios climax with an emphasis upon the death and blood of an innocent Lamb. Anyone who will personally apply His blood upon their house are promised “a passing over” during the death angel’s final dark ride. All these plagues eventually result in total economic meltdown, with a simultaneous dismantling of governments, leaders, and military powers. The final outcome is the changing of the mantle, wealth transference, and the initiation of a new day and time. There is also always one specific party or group that strongly benefits as the result of these destroying plagues and this turning of the tides. The first and last Passover did and will benefit Israel, but the second one was a total opposite scenario.

After the first Passover, the nation of Israel exited Egypt with all the gold and silver, and eventually made it back to the land HaShem promised to their ancestors. There, a great kingdom grew and soon all the world knew that the one true Lord was The God of Israel. Yet as it seems to happen in the hearts and minds of men, Israel backslid and fell into bondage again. The Roman Empire came and took over their kingdom claim, and there (in the middle of these times of trouble) a Lamb was prepared to die. Yeshua was revealed and His blood was spilled, and all who received Him were saved from death and hell. Every plague of the sin and unrighteousness of men was released upon Him, and a new beginning is still available for all who wish to apply His blood and eat His flesh. It was there upon the tree of Calvary that the clock of time was restarted, and the world’s greatest supernatural event to date took place as the hand of God was raised precisely at the declaration of Passover.

Therefore, it was the second Passover which began a new season for the Gentile nations of this world as the great wealth transference of the knowledge of the Hebrew God came abroad. True to the theme of Passover, the heart and minds of Israel’s leaders were hardened, and as a result, Israel would become the enemies of their own God. The gospel was then allowed to come abroad into every nation without relation. Likewise, the Jews were abroad scattered and then battered, even at the hands of these Christian benefactors of this second Passover. It became obvious that the mantle of their favor was taken from them and given to any non-Jews who would simply choose to receive the gracious works of their Passover Lamb. But again, as men’s hearts are bound to do, the nations now have taken advantage of the profound truths of Passover. We have misrepresented the gospel of grace, and continue today to add insult to the Jewish time of disgrace which brings us to a new place in time and a lurking final Hapa (Passover) soon to be declared. But the question for today which I have been called to say is: “Are there any palms out there prepared to be aired that are not anti-Semitic?”

Perhaps the protection Te Ua and his sons of Shem warriors experienced was a result of their bold declaring of Hapa, Hapa, Hapa (the three Passovers) as they tapped into this supernatural Passover anointing. But could there now be another time of war and natural disaster at hand which comes in like a flood, which calls for another raising of the standard? Even as Moses held the rod of God in his palm which gave Him power over the elements, the world superpower Egypt, and its self-proclaimed god-man Pharaoh, so too could New Zealand be given power over the elements of the world, its political systems, and their self-appointed god-like leaders. All they have to do is lift up their palms too (like Te Ua) and declare Hapa, Hapa, Hapa. This supernatural protection can be realized again if New Zealand will begin to raise up the standard within, and simply declare an oath of support for Israel in this, their final time of Passover.

Regardless of whether the Isles of Aotearoa respond or not, another Passover is certainly at hand and this time the resulting falling nation will first and foremost be my homeland, the United States of America. Most people do not realize it, but there are over 6 million Jews living in the safe harbor of America’s liberty. Actually there are over 20 million Jews if you calculate all those who have married outside the faith, yet are still eligible for the right of return to the land of Israel. This last Passover will ultimately be an event that evokes a massive Jewish exodus out of North America back to the land which God gave them. Oh yea, and with a pocket full of gold is also foretold. Scripturally, this last Passover will eclipse the original one to such a degree that the long observed annual Passover festival kept by the Jews will then take on a new powerful meaning.

Jeremiah 16:14-15 “Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that it shall no more be said, The Lord liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; but, The Lord liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.”

A Christian version of Passover is also annually celebrated to commemorate Jesus’ sacrifice as the Passover Lamb of God, which perfectly took place as a fulfillment of the prophetic symbolisms included in the first Passover in Egypt. This Christian festival is inclusive of a one week celebration which actually begins seven days before Passover on what is called Palm Sunday. Palm Sunday is the remembrance of Yeshua’s entrance into Jerusalem where palm tree branches were cut down and strewed before the King of the Jews. In Te Ua’s palm to Passover declaration, we can see the Maoris’ calling and prophetic destiny to declare the coming of this final Jewish Passover and the return of the King of the Jews, to the Jews. Yet in this, His final coming, the Lamb will not be so humble. But rather will be revealed in rage, and even jealousy displayed in the terrible plagues of a last Passover resulting in the devastation of many nations. Today, it would be wise for New Zealand to face the fact that Palm Sunday is again at hand, and they (like the Maoris of before) must find their safety zone in this declaration of Passover, Passover, Passover.

The Key

On November 8, 2008 New Zealand voted in their third Prime Minister with Jewish ancestry: John Key. To my knowledge no other nation in the world (excluding Israel) has ever had a Jewish leader, especially on three separate occasions now. Perhaps this is a key clue that these islands are not just some regular random Gentile nation, but rather a called and chosen place and people. Could this current Jewish Prime Minister be the key to unlocking the predetermined and destined unity between New Zealand and Israel which The God of Israel is now calling forth at Passover? Regretfully, John Key is reported on Wikipedia.com as being agnostic when it comes to belief in God. If this statement is true, and Key does not believe in The God of Israel, that leaves me not only sad, but also questioning whether or not he can be a key player in unlocking New Zealand’s prophetic destiny as the world’s first true ally to Israel in the days of zeal ahead.

With all that said, I really feel that the key to New Zealand’s divine destiny lays more in the hands of the islands’ first inhabitants. The Maori people have an indescribably magnificent heavenly calling upon their lives, and are most certainly the holders of the key to the islands breaking forth into the calling and destiny placed upon it by The God of Israel. To John’s credit, he is Jewish, and has made a few good decisions concerning Israel and the Jewish people. But today there is a stronger need of total separation from all the anti-Israel agendas from within the political realm of these chosen islands. The first thing that the NZ Parliament must approve is a national declaration of Israel’s right to the biblical covenanted lands of Israel, including Jerusalem as the undivided Jewish capital. Simultaneously, there must be an official condemnation of America’s roadmap for peace policy, and this statement should be declared in the General Assembly of the United Nations as a witness to, and for all nations. Perhaps this declaration should be in the form of a Haka dance that mocks the enemies of God and Israel. But regardless of how, the calling of The God of Israel upon New Zealand is to boldly and solely stand with Israel when no one else will. The Maori people of New Zealand can certainly be the key to initiating this in their isles, and can open this door of prosperity for all Kiwis. However, if these Maori sons of Shem warriors do not soon take up their key role, and immediately slam shut the door of anti-Semitism which has opened up their islands to this dark Muslim influence, all could be lost (including the key) during the rising of the sea.

Isaiah 22:22 “And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.”

My hope is that John Key will soon see the calling placed upon his shoulders as New Zealand’s Jewish leader so timely placed to embrace Israel. If he would, then there could come the blessing and the promised resting for the rest, instead of a tsunami crest. However, if Key doesn’t quickly use his key role to open and close these important issues concerning Israel, then the Maori must hold out their palm and be the key to see the sea calm. Because the Maori understand the plight of losing land and have this connecting yoke with Israel through Shem, it might all be up to them. Not only could the Maori be the key to NZ’s prosperity, but I believe their new zeal for Israel will be the key to see a tribal revival that will unite their peoples once again. Let me further say that the Maori could be the key to seeing the complacent (or those who could have cared less) be caught on fire and acquire the same New Zeal for The God of Israel.

Ezekiel 39:6-7 “And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the Lord. So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; And I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel.”

The Ring of Fire

There is an old song by Johnny Cash that seems relevant for today which sounds something like this: “I fell in to a burning ring of fire.” The above scripture references this ring of fire and a future war in the Middle East in which a confederated group of Muslim nations (joined with, or possibly lead by Russia) will attack Israel. Persia (which is modern day Iran) is biblically listed as one of the nations in this war which today is about to erupt before our very eyes. Over the last five years Russia has been working with the radical Islamic leadership of Iran to provide them with both nuclear technology and the enriched uranium that is needed to build a nuclear weapon, which when exploded ironically becomes a ring of consuming fire. The Iranian mullahs in demonic control of modern day Persia have repeatedly threatened to wipe Israel off the map once their nuclear capability is realized. Current news headlines have revealed a cat and mouse game between Israel and Iran of who will actually attack who first. Will Israel’s leadership opt to do a preemptive strike to head off another Holocaust, or will they stay and instead pray that Iran will not do what they say? If Israel does strike first, it will likely give birth to this confederated Islamic attack which was described way back by the prophet Ezekiel. But what few knew is that this ring of fire will circle the globe and New Zealand will also get all fired-up. What was that you said mate? Are you saying New Zealand will be involved in this war? Well, actually Ezekiel did.

Ezekiel 39:6 “And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the Lord.

Hashem’s response to this confederated attack against Israel will be to send fire upon Magog (which has been interpreted as either Russia and/or Turkey). This fire sent from Adonai is biblically detailed as destroying these invaders and will leave but 1/6th of their massive armies. Ezekiel further details that it will take Israel seven months to clean up all the dead bodies of these invaders of the Holy Land, and that Israel will burn the fuel from their weapons for a full seven year Sabbath circle. Thus eliminating the need of other energy resources (the Jews have learned to be very resourceful). But next, HaShem reaches all the way down to the bottom circle of the earth and again brings New Zealand into the arena of current events, and there begins to vent His frustration upon the remaining complacent nations. In fact, the verse above says that He will send fire upon those in the isles who were not paying attention to what was happening in the Middle East, and frankly could have cared less. Recent news detailed NZ Prime Minister John Key having met with Russian leaders in an effort to establish a free trade agreement with this Iran supporting superpower. This could jeopardize Aotearoa’s biblically defined role of support for Israel. In previous chapters we have discussed how The God of Israel will shake the islands of the South Pacific as America falls, and here we again see NZ connected to yet more which God has in store. Once again Johnny Cash’s song would fit well in context with what will come next, which is the awakening of the Ring of Fire.

The Ring of Fire is a geographical area where large numbers of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur in the basin of the Pacific Ocean. With an area covering 40,000 km (25,000 miles) this horseshoe shaped Ring of Fire has over 450 volcanoes, which is over 75% of the world’s active and dormant volcanoes. Therefore, it can be scientifically explained that the recent earthquakes in Japan and New Zealand are a result of this tectonically active area becoming even more unstable of late. But what few seismologists would ever suggest is the spiritual explanation behind this increase of tectonic activity, and that The God of Israel will use this Ring of Fire to protect His own chosen nation from invasion. As a matter of fact, as the nations conspire against Israel with fire, then too will Yeshua reveal His zeal, and the dormant days of the Ring of Fire will officially expire.

It is obvious that things are already heating up. The Arab spring has the Middle Eastern nations consumed and the old fire of hatred against Israel is officially being stoked. Simultaneously, Iran is openly pursuing their mass weapons of fire and soon Hezbollah and Hamas could acquire this disastrous power. Israel is now faced with making a heated decision, and a preemptive strike against these nuclear facilities seems to be within logical reason. The scriptures foretell that Russia will soon become involved as well and possibly even lead these enraged Muslim nations in an invasion against Israel. The Bible defines that it will be at this specific time that the Almighty Consuming Fire will officially throw His temper. As a matter of fact, these scriptures in Ezekiel describe fire balls being thrown down from the heavens upon these invaders as they come into the Holy Land.

Ezekiel 38:18-19,22 “And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord God, that my fury shall come up in my face. For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken….And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, and overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.”

Again HaShem’s response (and responsibility) as the nations come against Israel will be one of anger mingled with fire. Now, since the earth and the fullness thereof is the Lord’s, He will likely show forth His anger in the elements thereof. Simply stated, as Iran threatens Israel with nuclear annihilation, The God of Israel will awaken the Ring of Fire and up to 450 volcanoes could begin to erupt against the very corrupt. In fact, Ezekiel describes large chunks of iced over earth, mingled with fire and brimstone being thrown down upon those who come against the ground of Israel. For all those who need a more scientific explanation just envision the Ring of Fire set-a-fire with multiple volcanoes throwing chunks of earth and brimstone into the atmosphere, which in turn falls randomly (yet with strange preciseness) upon these invading armies of Iran and company. OK, you say, but what about New Zealand and how is it involved?

Aotearoa again seems to find itself as the last nation in the world ultimately destined to be the first. I am certain that New Zealand and the good folks down there do not really care to get involved in this looming Middle East crisis, no less enter a war so far away from their peaceful little islands. As a matter of fact, New Zealand’s anthem has always been to stay out of the way and pray for war to not be in store for their remote shores. Nevertheless, the Bible tells that these sleepy little islands of the South Pacific will awake to complete this Ring of Fire and will ultimately acquire a New Zeal for The God of Israel.

Ezekiel 39:6 “And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the Lord.

Again, whether or not the people of New Zealand decide to rise up and defend Israel does not disannul the fact that the Bible has predicted these islands themselves will be moved to defend Israel. Whereas New Zealand actually sits on the bottom of this infamous Ring of Fire, it certainly could be the first nation in progression to see the radiation of God’s fury rise up in the form of earthquakes, ash clouds, and molten lava. In fact, it might actually be a volcano from New Zealand that HaShem chooses (and then uses) to strike down Iran’s confederated attack into the Holy Land. Chunks of earth mingled with fire falling from above to prove to the world that Yeshua loves the Jews too. That is to say, that volcanoes could lead the way as their clouds of ash and fire begin to dismay, and mega earthquakes forcefully say that The God of Israel is commanding a new day, and even the sleepy isles have a part to play. Whether or not the Kiwis want to be a part, their land down-under will begin to thunder and spew out the Lord’s rage against this anti-Israel age. With that said, the Maori could awake instead, and an Aotearoa alternative to this heated deal would be for the people to reveal their New Zeal for The God of Israel.

Isaiah 63:15 “Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me? Are they restrained?”

Isaiah asked a specific question for his nation Israel which is highly applicable for our current times as a fire of jealousy is today burning inside the intestines of The God of Israel. I kinda compare this verse to my own frequent curse of over indulging in a jalapeno covered plate of enchiladas which likewise sets my insides ablaze. Isaiah asked the question of where will this zeal be revealed and how will HaShem rid His bowels of this jealous fire. Then, in the next chapter, this question is answered and defined as via earthquakes and volcanic eruptions which ultimately reveal both His zeal and His name to all the corrupt nations.

Isaiah 64:1-2 “Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence, as when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence.”

This again is when the Maori tribes are prescribed to come alive and display HaShem’s rage during this red dawn of a new day. The God of Israel has seemingly placed the pre-knowledge of these coming natural disasters into these “people of old time” and as these quakes and volcanoes arise, so will their zeal. It will be at this specific time of history that these island people will begin to acquire the fire of God’s jealousy for Israel, and will erupt like a volcano to cover the world with this glory cloud from “the land of the long white cloud”. Even then will those who did not care about the Jews, be caught on fire as they witness Aotearoa’s New Zeal for Israel and Israel’s God.

Ezekiel 39:6-7 “And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the Lord. So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel…”

But not only are the Maori the key to New Zealand’s revival and survival, they are further the key to Key’s revival. But not just this one Jewish man’s enlightenment toward his God, but the whole nation of Israel’s salvation is at stake. Allow me to state that when Israel sees this zeal awake, this ring of fire will come full circle, and as it is written, they too will catch the wave and be saved.

Romans 11:26-27 “And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.”

Redeemer

The above Brit Chadashah (New Testament) scripture is actually a Tenach (Old Testament) quote from Isaiah 59 which again places the timing of Israel’s salvation in the fiery circle of the fall of the West (America) and of New Zealand’s rising to personify this glorious New Zeal at the breaking of God’s land deal.

Isaiah 59:19-21 “So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him. And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the Lord. As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the Lord….”

Again, this scripture predicts both bad and good events. The good news is the whole nation of Israel will be saved. The bad news is there will first be worldwide tragedy, and a series of tsunamis will come in on the nations which came in against Israel’s land. Common sense tells you that if the Ring of Fire explodes into a time of seismic activity then there will be mega quakes accompanied with these other ripple effects. After these tsunamis take place, it is written that the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard and expose the enemy’s plan to steal Israel’s land (while calling it a peace plan). In a sense, this scripture foretells the rising of five different things: First the enemy rises, then the sea rises in response, next the Spirit of the Lord raises up a new standard, as the Redeemer rises and causes Israel to rise. All these world changing events are scripturally categorized as the day of God’s vengeance and as the year of His redeemed.

Isaiah 63:4 “For the day of vengeance is in my heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.”

Now the key word that should not be overlooked in these scriptures is the name of the one who will rise to open the eyes of Israel: the “Redeemer”. This is a title specifically referring to a kinsmen redeemer, or one of Israel’s own that will save them (and their homeland). Again Yeshua is that Jew who has paid the price for me and you, but for Israel’s redemption too. Hitherto, few have connected the dots between the Lord’s redemption plan and the land lines of the actual ground of Israel. This connection of the boundaries of Israel to the Eternal’s salvation plan for all lands and peoples was scripturally defined in Genesis 15 when HaShem promised Abram a land and a Messianic Seed. This promise was indeed the introduction of God’s redemption plan. Abram believed (in both the Promised Land and the promised Seed) and it was accounted to him for righteousness.

Genesis 15:6 “And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness.”

A kinsmen redeemer was first and foremost one who purchased the land inheritance of a certain man and tribe of Israel. Yet as a side, this redeemer was likewise required to take up any family members who were alive and connected to this specific property. The best biblical example of this Jewish right of redemption is seen in the story of Ruth, Naomi and Boaz. In fact, all three were types and shadows of things to come: Boaz as Yeshua, Naomi as the returning Jews, and Ruth as the Gentile Zionistic believer. Therefore, this title of “Redeemer” should be understood to forever be connected to the land issue. In other words, to find real redemption you must be connected to the physical land and boundaries of Israel, whether Jew or Gentile. Let me just put it my own way and simply say: Jimmy Carter is out of the Way, and for all those who today say Israel has no right to their land, they likewise do not know the Redeemer or understand His true salvation plan.

That brings me full circle back to my original point, and today we see a promise of the Redeemer coming to Zion in the embodiment of a Lion during the transgressions of the church and state against the land lines of Israel. But first the verse below reaches down below to another people which He did foreknow and ask them to begin to show new zeal for Israel’s land deal. Even as the enemy used nations in his attempt to overtake Zion’s right to their land inheritance, now will The God of Israel call a small nation of kinsmen to make a divine declaration.

Isaiah 62:11-12 “Behold, the Lord hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work is before him. And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the Lord…”

There are so many scriptures in the Bible which seem to personally be reaching out to this end of the world nation of New Zealand to raise up a new standard concerning Israel’s right to the Holy Land. That standard can further be seen and heard in the Ruth’s Gentile Zionistic declaration to her Jewish mother-in-law, Naomi, as she was returning out of exile to the land given to her people.

Ruth 1:16 “…Whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God.”

This one statement positively changed Ruth’s life forever and is still the evidence of true redemption today. Please understand that the true form of Christian redemption is connected to the land and people of Israel, as well as Israel’s God. To keep it real, it must be a package deal. So, scripturally it should be seen that any so-called Christian who cannot speak these above words is not really redeemed. But what about on a national scale? Do we truly expect The God of Israel to respect our peace without the same above speech? With that said, I dread what will happen next as our nations continue to vex the land of which the Jews are returning to, and persist to resist their building of lodges. But more specifically, what about the scriptural demand placed upon the land of New Zeal to be the first nation to truly raise up this new standard for the returning exiles, and what will happen if their mega churches continue to abandon Israel? Will there have to be more church buildings fall and even more streets buckled before the leaders of the Kiwi church and state begin to make this pro-Israel statement, and thus raise up this new standard? As a matter of fact, that is the exact context of the preceding text in Isaiah.

Isaiah 62:10 “…prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people.”

Unfortunately for us all, the coming result of this ungodly theft of the Holy Land will be seismically felt worldwide as the nations collide against the redeeming plans of The God of Israel. The scriptures also address this as a time when anti-Israel church leaders will resign. Or at very least will have to avoid the cracked up, rock filled streets as they search for another church building. But instead of dreading more disasters, wouldn’t it be faster to clean up the streets of NZ if the church of our Lord would come on board and recognize the Jewish right to their land? Then could the church of Aotearoa fulfill its real destiny and truly be labeled the “redeemed” of the Lord. In fact, I believe the future holds in it a restored and rebuilt church in New Zealand boldly setting a new standard for the nations concerning Israel and this term “redeemed”. New Zealand will then resultantly become a place of healing and refuge for a select faithful few American Zionists too who want to be a part of your amazing raising of the standard.

Raise The Standard

The scripture in Isaiah which foretells New Zealand’s glorious role in the day when the enemy comes in like a flood, says that the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him. This term, lift up a standard, is the one Hebrew word nus which actually means to flee away or to go to a safe place. I believe that this scripture could also be referencing the dreadful earthquakes and resulting tsunamis which I have seen destroy the Eastern Seaboard of the United States and thus, New Zealand’s possible rescuing role. Unfortunately, there are millions of Hebrew families living in this region, and as America continues its deadly push against the land of Israel (and now Jerusalem) we could very well see the enemy come in as a literal flood. Tragically, there is a growing disconnect between the American Jews and their Israeli brethren, and many within this region strongly support the two state solution. In addition, New York State just legalized gay marriage and has personally opened the flood gate by changing yet another old standard set by the unchanging God of the Torah. Therefore, another glorious role which is scripturally foretold is for these remote islands down below to “raise up a standard” and offer a place of refuge for these hundreds of thousands of American Jews which could soon be homeless as America continues to uproot the Hebrew families in Jerusalem and Israel. Only time will tell, and I hope it never happens, but if it should, who would raise up the standard?

Isaiah 59:19-20 “So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.”

A book written by a Jewish New Zealander ironically carries a similar title and in my view has set the stage for New Zealand to come to the rescue of these precious Hebrew people should this scenario ever happen on America’s Eastern Seaboard. Wellington’s own, Stephen Levine wrote “A Standard For The People” which details the lives and accomplishments of many within New Zealand’s Jewish population, and gives a colorful history of the Jewish community and their contributions within these remote islands. But should Jewish people today come to New Zealand after two millennia in the Diaspora, or should they only return to their covenanted homeland in Israel? That will depend on whether or not another standard and banner is raised over the land of New Zealand.

The Lord gave me a vision recently in which I was shown a flagpole with ropes hanging down from it. Then I saw a hand start pulling the ropes until the flag of New Zealand was lowered. Next this hand changed out New Zealand’s flag and replaced it with Israel’s Star of David flag. This heavenly banner was placed upon the ropes and the hand began to raise up this ensign over the land of New Zealand.

Isaiah 5:26 “And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly.”

I immediately knew that The God of Israel was telling me that He not only wanted New Zealand to become a faithful ally to Israel (as I had previously believed) but was now challenging me further to understand His full detailed plan of making New Zealand an actual part of His heart, and of the commonwealth of His chosen nation and people, Israel.

Te Ua, the Maori prophet which united Aotearoa’s tribes during the 1860’s war against the British, likewise was heavenly counseled with a vision of a flagpole with ropes hanging from it. The Maori warriors used this pole, named a niu, as a rallying point when the British enemy came in like a flood to take their lands. This flag pole (niu) became a centerpiece of intense worship of HaShem before each battle. I believe that The God of Israel was even then preparing this island nation and these sons of Shem to raise up a zealous worship of the Almighty in our current day of the nations coming against Israel like a flood. But perhaps the greatest form of worship will be seen at the pole when it shows an Israeli flag flying as an open invitation to HaShem’s chosen nation.

Even as the Maori have long known, perhaps the flagpole will be the ultimate place to show New Zeal for The God of Israel. In fact, Isaiah said that when the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will raise up the standard. This term is the one Hebrew word, nus, meaning a safe place to flee away to. Te Ua was very similarly told by the angel Gabriel to name his flag pole a niu, and today New Zealand could again rally around the flagpole to raise the standard and become a safe place for a remnant of American Jews, specifically those in the East Coast region if this flood comes in. But first, the nation and people of New Zealand must open their hearts and doors, and lower their flag and raise up theirs. Perhaps HaShem wants to make New Zealand an outpost for Israel in the same fashion as it has been for England all these years. Well, you say, that all sounds mad and your imagination has gone bad. Ironically, the Bible defines this raising of the standard at the same time as the nations rage and imagine a vain thing.

Psalms 2:1-5 “Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

Recent news listed the nation of Italy as the 111th nation of the 124 listed in the United Nations General Assembly to officially declare Eastern Jerusalem and the West Bank areas of Judea and Samaria as a Palestinian state. Again, this anti-Semitic trend of stripping the Jews of their lands and homes has been taken up a notch recently by the leaders of the world by circumventing Israeli consent and thus also denying their sovereignty as a nation at the same time. However, this most recent event is just the latest attempt to destroy God’s chosen people in the long millennia history of the heathen nations. But as we spoke before, God has a plan that will actually result in the restoration of His land, and instead of Israel being split again, it will be the U.S.A. that will pay as the Potter raises his pole and strikes the hardened clay a severe blow.

I would hope that some way, somehow, America would relent from our evil roadmap agenda. But unfortunately, there are few that view the U.S. State Department’s goose-stepping march against Israel’s inheritance as wrong. In fact, Obama has recently further declared that America’s position requires Israel to withdraw to the pre-1967 borders. This would effectively cut the land size of Israel in half again, leaving their nation only 8 miles wide, and only 3 miles from the Tel Aviv airport. Hamas could then shoot down every commercial airliner and few would ever dare to come to Israel from the air again. This statement and position now held by America’s State Department is so stupid that it is almost comical. In fact, Psalms 2 says that HaShem laughed as well when He heard this plan from hell.

Psalms 2:4-5 “He that sits in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.”

The way that Adonai will have the nations in derision will ultimately be His decision, but I can tell you that it will be a manifold series of attacks. A short list of these will contain multiple natural disasters inclusive of earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, tornadoes, hurricanes, droughts, and fires. Next will come the total economic meltdown along with nuclear meltdown and attacks by the very ones we were trying to give the land of Israel to. These vexes, however terrible, could liberate Texas, as Yeshua is faithful to provide for those who side with Him. In fact, the breaking apart of the United States is the ultimate response and judgment which Psalms 2 declares as El Kanah’s reaction to the nations’ ridiculous actions.

Psalms 2:9-10 “Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel. Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.”

This notion of the breaking apart of the United States into separate little nations is not some new heavenly reaction. History shows that it has happened to every nation that has ever come against the Jewish people or homeland. It happened to the Babylonian Empire, the Roman Empire, Germany, the U.S.S.R., and it also happened to Great Britain.

A Mis-stake

Once upon a time, the sun never set upon the British Empire. These accomplished Englishmen seemed to be keen for finding, and then settling, much of our world as we know it today. Afternoon tea was likewise spread to be received from Australia to America, and from South Africa to South Wales. Yet one of the most beautiful outposts of the English monarchy, and in my mind their greatest find, was the Isles of New Zealand. Anyone who has ever visited one of these original British colonies will agree that these industrious Englishmen were very influential upon the culture and proper establishment of these colonized nations. From their architectural edges to the landscape hedges, these Brits are the responsible party for the majority of the beauty within our world today. Nonetheless, the English made a major mis-stake one day while staking out the world which actually cost them their kingdom claim.

In 1917, the British Empire (which also controlled the land of the Middle East) endorsed the Balfour Declaration which would eventually give rebirth to the Jewish State of Israel. At the time of the original declaration Israel was to become a tract of land very similar to the biblically described Jewish homeland promised to the Hebrews by their God of the Torah. Then, in response to Arab pressure, Britain revoked their original declaration and cut the future Jewish State’s land mass back by 77 percent. This process would happen several more times until the final allowed area of Israel would only contain 13 percent of the original declared land mass by the British Balfour Accord. The remnant of the Jewish Holocaust survivors were in no place to argue, and after nearly 2000 years of exile, these dry bones began their return home (or at least to a part of their homeland). But for the British Empire, this mis-stake would begin to deteriorate their very own land stakes, and ultimately would dash their kingdom claim.

Out of this shattering experience which the United Kingdom has resultantly gone through, a little unknown nation has effectively been born. In 1907, the United Kingdom provided New Zealand their first step toward independence by giving them dominion status. But it was not until the Balfour declaration of 1926 that New Zealand would actually be granted equal rights status which would effectively give them control over their own military and foreign affairs. However, the first real sovereign act of New Zealand as an independent nation wouldn’t come until 13 years later in the form of a declaration of war against Germany in 1939. Then, 50 plus years later in 1983, the letters of Patent actually declared these remote islands as the Realm of New Zealand. Today, these islands are still greatly influenced by their English shadow and have somewhat struggled to find their own identity and place in the world. However, as both Australia and New Zealand have simultaneously come out from under this English silhouette as developing economic powers for their region, they (like two brothers) have found an end-of-the-earth rivalry effective in developing each other’s national economic adulthood. This unity has greatly benefited both nations, and now with China likewise developing into such a mega consumer and world superpower, both Australia and New Zealand have certainly found their place in the world.

With these historic steps of sovereignty taken, a final hurdle was identified as necessary to cross to achieve total independence from the crown. In 1994, the Republic movement of Aotearoa New Zealand was introduced as a way to leap that final remaining English hedge and bring New Zealand into total self-identity and independence. Although this movement had (and still has) strong support, the initiative to finalize it and bring forth this Republic has somewhat stalled. It would seem that New Zealand has labored somewhat to bring forth their independence. In all actuality, it has been a 100 year push which is still not fully birthed. So with all that said, what will be the final move of this foot and leg?

Foot and Leg

If you look at a picture of New Zealand on the globe you will notice several things. First of all, you will see that it is basically on the bottom of the world and is about as remote as the word can promote. The Bible specifically references Jerusalem as the epicenter of the world. Therefore, when the scripture speaks of the end of the world, or the “uttermost” parts of the earth, Aotearoa, must certainly be considered. The other part (scripturally speaking) which New Zealand fulfills is the terminology of the uttermost “parts” of the earth. Look again at the map of New Zealand and notice the two main parts: the north island and the south island. But also notice how these two parts look a lot like a foot and a leg standing upside down in water.

So where exactly is this whole leg and foot thing taking us, you ask?

Well, in Hebrew there is a word called epes which means the uttermost parts of the earth. Also included in the Hebrew definition of this word is the strange reference to a leg and foot standing in water. The scripture below details this word and terminology.

Psalms 2:8 “Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts (epes) of the earth for thy possession.”

In today’s era of the heathen nations conspiring to steal away Israel’s land, and with the United Nations poised to unilaterally declare Jerusalem as the Palestinian capital, Yehovah actually has the exact opposite plan for Israel’s land. We should all be mindful that The God of Israel keeps covenant, and as the nations try to cut in on the deal between Him and Israel, Psalms 2 has predicted that those powers and nations will be broken apart instead. An ensuing time of derision will take hold of the world and the Gentile nations, yet a very detailed “times” of restoration and mercy will be kicked into second gear to restore the years for the long bruised Hebrews.

It is during this time that all of the world will fear and then also hear of New Zeal for The God of Israel.

Isaiah 26:15 “Thou hast increased the nation, O Lord, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified: thou hadst removed it far unto all the ends of the earth.”

In fact, it is during this doom of the nations’ backroom conspiracy to sever the Jews from their homeland that the Bridegroom (Yeshua) reveals His secret plan of giving Israel more land. There in the context of Psalms 2, as the heathen rage, God opens a new page in the book of history for both Israel and New Zealand. Simultaneously, as all nations fall into utter chaos, Israel will rise and their God will not only enforce His original land grant (which He personally came down and covenanted to them in Genesis 15) but has now attached an addendum to that original deal, even while the nations try to steal. With that said, the prophet Zechariah also stated that Israel’s greater dominion would soon be extending to include the end of the earth. He insisted that this heavenly plan of extending the Jewish homeland (all the way to the very end) would likewise begin a great time of peace and prosperity for those remote folk as they become a vital part of Messiah’s heart to restore double unto a people whom have long known trouble.

Zechariah 9:10,12 “…and he shall speak peace unto the heathen (Gentiles): and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even unto the ends of the earth….turn you to the stronghold, ye prisoners of hope: even today do I declare that I will render double unto thee.”

This scripture actually describes two separate tracts of land. First, it details the boundaries of the specific area of land in the Middle East which is the original land grant detailed in Genesis 15. This tract is said to be from sea to sea, and from the river. The word river is the Hebrew word nahar which actually means both the Nile and the Euphrates Rivers. Thus, the two seas listed should also be seen to mean the Mediterranean and the Arabian Seas of which the Nile and Euphrates flow into. These four bodies of water should be seen as the north, south, east and west boundaries of this land promised to Abram’s seed.

However, even once this exact tract of land is fully gained as the main contractual promise of what HaShem covenanted to Abram, there is still a further promise to extend those borders “even unto the ends of the earth”. In fact, the scriptures promise to exactly double the land possession of this chosen people who have been shamed and maimed for the gospel’s sake.

Isaiah 61:7-8 “For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them. For I the Lord love judgment, I hate robbery…”

Again, there is this standing promise to extend (to the end) the land holdings of Yeshua’s chosen nation. This doubling of Israel’s borders will come as heavenly orders even while the nations conspire to rob the Hebrews of their current tiny part of this original land grant. Interestingly enough, if you take a big stake of the British Balfour declaration of 1917, and add to it the southern Torah lands of the Sinai Peninsula, and a further portion of land in the north (as defined in the prophesy of Ezekiel and the history of David’s kingdom) you have a piece of land that very closely resembles what HaShem has described as the Promised Land for the twelve tribes of Jacob. This total area of land today would contain approximately 104,000 square miles of ground.

This specific tract of land should be recognized as the former (or inner) borders of the State of Israel. What I mean to say, is there is coming a day when even these borders will be given orders to be extended. Also remember (as HaShem remembers Israel) that not only has He promised to give these twelve tribes their own part in the heart of the Holy Land, but has further promised to attach the surrounding Gentiles, and then even the isles that are afar off. So let’s address these border issues in these three stages: the inner borders, the outer borders, and then to the ends of the earth. Actually, let us call these inner borders Israel, and refer to these outer regions as Greater Israel.

The inner borders of Israel should be recognized as a very personal gift of The God of Israel to His people the Hebrews. This is the actual inheritance and living space given to this specific chosen race. In fact, from the Jewish entrance into this specific geographical location under Joshua’s leadership these twelve tribes thrived in basically this same area of land. This same tract was once again gained back after the 1967 confederated Arab attack which attempted to murder the reborn, infant Jewish State. After that six day war, Israel was not far from seeing these inner boundaries again restored. But since that day, the world’s powers began to demand for this biblically mandated Jewish homeland to be given to the radical Muslim bands under the false promise of peace for land.

This extensive diplomatic fight and worldwide conspiracy against the Jewish rights to even this, the inner parts of these inner borders, will eventually result in new heavenly orders which will require Israel to acquire more land. However, please understand that this is not some Zionistic plan to take over the world. Rather, be mentally inspired to see what HaShem has also desired for even the oppressed Arab peoples within these currently Muslim controlled sections. What I am simply stating is the reality that Greater Israel will actually be greater for the Arab people than for Israel personally. In fact, the peace that will come to this area of Greater Israel will actually be the result of Israeli occupation (most likely after another confederated Muslim invasion) which will effectually bring stability and prosperity to these Arab sections of Greater Israel. It is not that Israel will run out these current Arab inhabitants from these lands of Greater Israel or make them convert, but will rather teach them to till the dirt and to plant trees, until this endless disease of conflict is healed. So with that said, please know that peace in the Middle East cannot grow until Israel does. As you can see by these different maps, there is varied speculation and interpretation of just how far these borders of Greater Israel will reach.

The scriptures seem to delineate the nation of Israel as two separate descriptions during the end times. Inner Israel, which is reserved as a specific physical homeland for the chosen Hebrew people, and an outer region which is under Israeli supervision, but clearly a land for the Arab peoples of the Middle East. Again, we will refer to these two regions as Israel and Greater Israel, but will later see these two areas are actually physical Israel and spiritual Israel. The Bible has promised that this latter kingdom of Israel will be greater than the former, but what it is also saying it that this greater plan is actually a peace plan for this troubled area. Well, you say, there is no way there will be peace in the Middle East until the Prince of Peace releases His. Amen. I could not have said it better myself. In fact, if we simply go back and recount just who this contended ground of Greater Israel was given to, we will see this as the Almighty’s intention.

Genesis 15:18 “In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy “seed” have I given this land from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates.”

The contention seems to arise from the definition of this one phrase, “thy seed”. In fact, the whole Middle East struggle is rooted in the Arab fear that Israel will attempt to take over all their lands in a Zionistic fulfillment of the above verse. Because the Arabs also consider Abram as their father, they likewise believe they have a very biblical and literal right to this contested land. As the Jews began to come home to this biblically mandated area, the branch of radical Islam was rebirthed to repeal this perceived Zionistic invasion. Throughout the last 60 years, most of the Arab leaders (specifically leaders of the radical jihadist movements such as Osama Ben Laden) have quoted the fear of this Zionistic land grab as basis for their terrorism. In other words, it is the fear of Greater Israel that drives the modern day radical Islamic movement. It is these opposite interpretations and the dueling dance between Zionism and this extreme Islamic movement that has left the inhabitants of these areas in a perpetual state of war. But what neither side has scripturally considered is that this specified land of Greater Israel was given neither to the Hebrews nor the Arabs, but rather unto Abraham’s “seed”.

Galatians 3:16 “Now unto Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ (the Messiah).”

To cut to the chase and find out who will win the race to live in this space, we should first embrace that it will be those who properly state their case that their Messiah is from the chosen Jewish race. Yet that one simple (correct) confession of faith in Yeshua basically eludes all three of the modern religions of that area: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Most Jews refuse Yeshua as the Messiah today possibly because of the way that the Christian faith has taken away His Jewish identity, and then turned and burned them. Therefore, Christianity likewise has closed eyes, and has mixed in so much compromise that now their faith in Messiah is effectively delegitimized. Then there is the Muslim faith (and fear) birthed during the years of the same Christian Crusades which sought to also erase the Arab claim in this same space of Abraham’s seed. Simply stated: the Christians hate the Muslims, the Muslims hate the Jews, and the Jews just want to be left alone. Yet all three groups will soon be required to do the very opposite as this deep issue of Greater Israel seems to keep bubbling to the surface of everyday news. As a matter of fact, after a 20 year military campaign, America is now withdrawing our troops from Iraq which will leave a huge vacuum and vie for control over this contested area of Greater Israel on the northern border of the Euphrates River. Also, today we currently are witnessing a civil war in Egypt and another fight for control between the different sanctions on the southern side of Greater Israel along the old River Nile. Add to the confusion of these two current fights for controlling rights, the old land claim to this same area (the Genesis 15 covenant) which likewise called for the partitioning of this region into a futuristic realm (called Greater Israel) also along these two referenced rivers. Whereas peace has long evaded this region, we are promised that this scripturally defined realm of Greater Israel (when finally brought forth) will also bring a time of peace for the Gentiles (Arabs) of this region.

Zechariah 9:10,12 “…and he shall speak peace unto the heathen (Gentiles): and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even unto the ends of the earth….turn ye unto the stronghold, ye prisoners of hope: even today do I declare that I will render double unto thee.”

With that said, peace in the Middle East depends on these specific borders being realized as above read. Bush’s roadmap for peace plan, which required Israel to withdraw from occupied areas, is in direct opposition of the scriptural prescription that promises to bring healing for the Arab peoples of the Middle East. Therefore, it was predestined to fail. For all who really desire peace and stability for the Arab peoples of this region, we must simply align our minds with these scriptures for our times, and therefore with the mind of Christ. So what is the mind of Christ concerning this region of Greater Israel? On my morning prayer walk I asked the Lord the same question and He, in true Jewish form, responded by asking me this question: “Which is Greater, physical or spiritual Israel?”

Simultaneously, I saw this region between the Nile and the Euphrates fall into darkness and a time of Sharia law which aggressively destroyed both the hope and desire of the beautiful Arab peoples therein. Unfortunately, under this type of radical Islam, a nation and its people are quickly destroyed. The everyday necessities and utilities are the first to be affected, and the public’s health likewise physically diminishes. Islam is more than a religion; it is also a political system that gains control by violence and uses fear as its strongest weapon. Any who oppose these Islamic religious leaders are publically tortured and sometimes beheaded to further impart this dark fear, and thus spread their control. Of all the different types of governments in the world, including communism, this type of radical Islam with clerical mullah control is by far the darkest and most oppressive. For the men, it is not as bad, although there is usually 90% unemployment. But concerning the rights of women and children, this type of Islamic government effectively sees them as less than livestock. Any decent person in their right mind would not want this type of government in control. Nevertheless, today the Arab spring threatens to shroud this entire region of Greater Israel in a burqa of darkness.

Once this type of Sharia law and oppressive fearful control of their own people is established, the next step of these Islamic mullah leaders is to wage holy war on the Zionist aggression (physical Israel and those who support it). Again, it is the fear of losing control of this specific area of land that seems to spread the Islamic agenda among the Arab people and is again today effectively swelling their ranks. It is obvious the Arab Spring has officially sprung and a new holy war has likewise begun. The physical nation of Israel will be the ultimate target, but first millions of innocent Arab people will be manipulated and then alienated. But don’t lose heart, for these initial dreadful parts will ultimately be the key to see prosperity returned to the Arab community. In other words, there is nothing like a time of darkness to help you better appreciate the light. Thus, the stage is being set for Greater Israel to be birthed out of a spiritual revival among these oppressed Arab people and during an all-out confederated Islamic war against Israel. What I am trying to say is there is coming a day when there will be a major spiritual shift among the Arab populace in this region which will allow Greater Israel to be born as they become reborn. Plainly stated, Greater Israel will be spiritual Israel, or specifically those Arabs that turn to the Lord and receive the Jewish Messiah as their Savior. In fact, these Arab peoples of this region are already having dreams and visions of the pierced One, and soon spiritual Israel will become greater than physical Israel, as most Jews still refuse their own Messiah. Whereas Christianity has been ineffective at revealing Christ to His own brethren, perhaps these Arab believers will be able to reach their brothers in Abraham once this dispute for the ground is settled down by the thorns in His crown. That is to say that Yeshua is the right way to bring peace to the Middle East. It will be through His blood that the walls between these two sons of Abraham will finally be broken down, and this ground of Greater Israel can know peace and prosperity at last.

Ephesians 2:12 “That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus ye that were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who hath broken down the middle wall of petition between us.”

Wait a minute; I thought we were talking about New Zealand and its strange leg and foot shape. Yea, yea, we were mate, and strangely enough this end of the earth nation which is farthest away from this Middle East issue (and yes, also shaped like a leg and shoe) will actually be the first to turn into Greater Israel.

Zechariah 9:10,12 “…and he shall speak peace unto the heathen (Gentiles): and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even unto the ends of the earth….turn ye unto the stronghold, ye prisoners of hope: even today do I declare I will render double unto thee.”

The word double used here is the Hebrew word misneh meaning: twice as much the second time. As I previously mentioned, the inner borders of physical Israel has covered an area of land averaging up to 104,000 square miles both before Israel’s predestined Diaspora and even in the modern millennia. Therefore, as we read the above peace plan of the Son of Man, we should expect a doubling of this same amount of dirt as recompense for all the Hebrew hurt that was used to convert the grace of God to the undeserving Gentiles. We must also look to the “ends of the earth” in this above verse, and know that the last are scripturally promised to be the first.

Matthew 20:16 “So the last shall be first, and the first shall be last:

for many be called, but few chosen.”

Enter the Isles of New Zealand which ironically contain a land mass of exactly 104,400 square miles and is the personification of “the end of the earth” terminology used in these scriptures. In fact, the word “last” in the above verse in the Greek text is eschatos, whence comes the term eschatology, meaning: theology related to final events in history. This word “last” as defined in Strong’s Concordance also carries the geographical descriptions of the lowest and uttermost parts of the earth. Basically, this Greek word is the counterpart of the Hebrew word epes used in Psalms 2.

Psalms 2:8 “Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts (epes) of the earth for thy possession.”

With that said, allow me this paragraph to paraphrase some real scriptural, end time eschatology. Because the anti-Semitic Christian church has turned its back on Israel (and thus their Messiah) and have indoctrinated their nations with the toxic venom of land for peace, the Lord of hosts will now turn to those of His own chosen race and finally display loving grace. A very crucial part that will lead to the softening of their heart will be the start of the times of repayment and restoration. We must look no farther than to the land that was raided to see what will be repaid. However, this will actually not start in the heart of Israel, but instead at the uttermost parts of the earth. Thus the last shall be first as New Zealand breaks the curse and steps out to fulfill some real end time zeal, and eschatology.

When I think on this plan by the Son of Man to give to His own this distant land which is so grand, I cannot help question: but why so distant? Perhaps this far off land is planned to represent such a drastic opposite from what the Jews have long got-along with, and talk-about a turn-about, this land of New Zeal is a totally different deal than Israel. Aotearoa is this indescribably beautiful fairytale land with wonderful climate and awesome scenery. It is a land of great peace and serenity where the inhabitants live without conflict. Reliable rainfall and extremely productive soils prosper the rural sector, while housing prices are a far cry from the high Jerusalem comparison. Springs of pure water run down the scarcely populated valleys, while millions of sheep naturally mow the green, golf course looking hills. Without a doubt it is the last place on earth that has not been defiled by the gout in man’s footprint.

On the other foot, the Jewish homeland today is about as far away from this description of serenity as humanly possible. I mean there are rocket attacks, building moratoriums and all-out world opposition (and even threat of annihilation) just about every single day. The land itself is barely a notch up from a desert at its best, and the rest is simply uninhabitable. There is a great lack of surface water and much of the underground source is (of course) too salty to use. Boulders cover the ground instead of sheep, and housing is far from cheap. For the life of me, I cannot see why this rocky, desolate spot is so hotly contested.

I realize my report was not so grand, but as a connoisseur of land, I must simply state that this land is not all that great. I must be truthful: I feel that most of us that love God (and therefore Israel) want to believe that the Holy Land is the best ground on earth. But if you be (and see) in all honesty you will agree with me that it ain’t all that great. Nevertheless, this rocky, dusty ground is the land of promise, and the Jews are making really good things happen even with this stubborn and difficult piece of dirt (which is also amidst a confederation dedicated to their hurt). For that, these amazing chosen people deserve a standing ovation.

Psalms 102:13-14 “Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favor her, yea the set time, is come. For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favor the dust thereof.”

It is a bad ending to a good day when nations with such vast quantities of rich, productive ground, begin to surround the tiny, rocky land of Israel and make the sound of a barking dog. What I am trying to say is that The God of Israel is about to initiate a new day for these people of His who helped pay the way for the Gentile day, which is now officially fading away as they broker away the Jewish capital city.

Psalms 59:5-6,13 “Thou therefore, O Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go about the city…..Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be; and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth.”

There is nothing more annoying than a barking dog while you are trying to rest. The above scripture describes this scenario of the Gentiles nations demanding Israel to surrender Jerusalem like that of a barking dog in the late evening hours. This scripture also states that The God of Israel is about to awake and take a rod to that barking dog. Yet, in the context of these opposing nations being vexed, there is also sent a personal text to the ends of the earth. Basically, this message from Adonai says to enter into this next phase of time with an open mind and receive my plan for these opposed people of mine.

I have tried to make light of this dark day looming as powerful nations are backroom conspiring to cheating Israel out of their homeland. Nevertheless, please address the seriousness of these evil demands, and then begin to see Yeshua’s land plan as He stands and finally puts His foot down at last. That is to say, as the nations continue to give away the precious dirt of the God of the earth, He will cause the opposite to happen and the boundaries of Israel will be extended to the very end of the earth. Thus, New Zealand becomes both scripturally and contractually attached to HaShem’s original land grant to Israel, and like any other real estate contract, this addendum becomes an enforceable part of the heart of the deal. The only real “feet” to see this transaction complete is for Israel to ask their God for it, and the scripture says, He will give it to them. I see this addendum as Yeshua’s way of finally saying to the Jew, “P.S. I love you too.”

Psalms 2:8 “Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen (Gentiles) for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts (epes) of the earth for thy possession.”

Now this certainly does not mean that the Kiwis must leave, but are just simply asked to believe in The God of Israel and therefore receive His people. Again, the Hebrew word epes not only is defined as the end of the earth, but also carries the strange reference to a foot and leg standing in water. Whereas this scripture is most certainly defining the land of New Zeal, it also brings to mind another nation which similarly fits the bill. Italy is on the uttermost part of Europe and it also looks like a leg and foot in water. However, Italy has recently taken a very anti-Semitic stance, and is not just asking Israel to cut up their God-given land, but is now demonically declaring it as a Palestinian state. It would appear that Italy was also scripturally offered the position of standing with Israel. But instead, they have used their leg to pry away Israel’s land, and raised their foot to bruise the long treaded upon Hebrews. But what about New Zealand? Will these uttermost parts of the earth continue to walk down the evil roadmap path and use their foot to loot the Jews? Or will they now choose to use their leg to stand for good and put their foot down when it comes to this evil policy of dividing Israel’s ground?

Proverbs 1:15 “My son, walk not thou in the way with them;

refrain thy foot from their path.”

Chapter 7

Kissing Cousins

When you were a kid and your parents congregated together with their siblings for one of those infamous family gatherings and you were resultantly thrown together with all your eerily similar cousins, did you ever kiss one of these, your cousins? Ok, you don’t have to answer that question out loud, but we all know that you probably did. However weird that may have seemed for you, today God is actually commanding this inner family intimacy to begin between the two very distant cousins of Israel and New Zealand.

Psalms 2:8-12 “Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron: thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel. Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little…”

Again, the atmosphere of this commanded kiss is during a gathering of nations against Jerusalem and Israel’s land possession as prophetically written in this second chapter of Psalms. During this United Nations’ conspiracy against Israel, The God of Israel will not only defend Israel’s right to their covenanted land, but has further determined to extend their borders now to the end of the earth, and will effectively give to Israel a nation on fire for them and their God. This will also be a time of derision (and division) upon the roadmap pushing powers of Europe and the United States, and a time of political confusion and anarchy among the remaining Gentile nations. Nevertheless, in the context of all this madness, the scripture distinctly speaks out to certain of these leaders and offers a last, backroom chance to kiss their cousin.

Psalms 2:10,12 “Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth….Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are they that put their trust in him.”

Well, the King James version actually says “kiss the Son,” referencing Yeshua, but a deeper search of the Hebrew reveals (as it always does) that the original word used means: the descendants of pure lineage. Of course Christ likewise met this scriptural criterion and was the pure descendant of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and thus a Jew of Jews, and simultaneously the Son of the living God. So yes, the scripture is telling us to kiss Messiah, but now with this deeper knowledge we are likewise being instructed to plant a big wet one on His family Israel. Well, maybe not literally (at least not at first) but we are to show a great display of affection to these pure descendants which are a chosen people and nation.

In many cultures today a kiss is a sign of greeting and affection.

In my culture it is associated more with intimacy and relationship. It wouldn’t be very wise to just walk up to a stranger on the street and plant one on their cheek. No, you have to know them first and relationship must be established, and trust grown. In fact, once upon a time (when I was a kid) an intimate kiss was usually associated with marriage and that eternal covenantal bond of sacred unity. Perhaps The God of Israel is likewise somewhat old fashioned and is ultimately telling the leaders of the world that they should wisely wine and dine Israel until a trusting relationship is established and bond of unity made. Then you may legitimately kiss the Son and regain His favor in the coming days of His rage.

So what does this have to do with me kissing my cousin back when I was 10 years old, you ask? Ok, remember how I told you that previous Maori leaders so believed that they were of the same lineage as the Jews that they named their priest Jews, gave clemency to captured Jewish Brits, and likewise held a belief that the Jews were God’s chosen people? Well, they did this because they were claiming to be the sons of Shem, which makes the Maori people the blood cousins of the Jewish race today. It can also be said that the Maori and Yeshua would likewise be direct blood cousins in the physical realm, and likewise brothers with Christ (if received) in the spiritual realm. This gives the Maori people a whole new role quite unique and personal. Not only being connected to the chosen people of Israel through the atoning blood of Yeshua, but also with direct family blood ties from the chosen son of Shem. Therefore, when Psalms 2 instructs the leadership of the uttermost part of the earth to kiss the Son, it is saying “kiss your cousin” and describes the unique relationship that The God of Israel will bring forth like the dawning day between these far away, distant cousins. These two cousin nations are not just far apart physically but also in several spiritual ways. Whereas Israel has long represented truth and righteousness, New Zealand could certainly be spiritually described as both mercy and peace. Nevertheless, when these two distant cousin lands finally kiss the result is promised to be bliss, and the Lord will likewise be pleased.

Psalms 85:10-12 “Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other. Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven. Yea, the Lord shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.”

This concept of “kissing cousins” is scripturally further personified in the relationship between John the Baptist and Yeshua, the Lamb of God. If you will allow me to say: John and Jesus were also cousins back in the day. Interestingly enough, before the Lamb to the Jordan River came down, there was another man of the wilderness which began to make a sound: saying, “Behold the Lamb of God, whose shoe I am not worthy to undue, He will baptize you with fire.” There in the Jordan, these two cousins had a family reunion of sort, and the Holy Spirit that day came down in a brand new way. But was John also seeing this latter day preparation work again prior to the coming Messiah, by telling the world that He was not Elijah who would come before the terrible day?

Malachi 4:5 “Behold I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of the Lord.”

I believe John referenced this fact (that there was yet to come Elijah back) while standing in the water and stating that the shoe of the Lord he was not worthy to undo. New Zealand’s north island (which is undeniably shaped like a foot) seems unable to remove the anti-Semitic shoe which is bee-ing used to tread down the Jews via their Beehives dreadful (and treadful) support of America’s distorted roadmap for peace plan. John could have been referencing that he was not the one to undo this anti-Jew shoe, but knew there would come a few distant cousins that just might take up the fight. Interestingly again, is the fact that most of these Maori cousins of the Jews live within this foot shaped north island which is today covered by this American-made anti-Semitic sneaker with an dirty underlying pro-Muslim sock. Perhaps John the Baptist (when referencing the shoe of the Lord which he was not worthy to undo) also knew that it would take a non-Jew to legitimately undo this anti-Semitic shoe off a land which is called to stand with the Son of man and step out His restoration plans. Maybe John knew (as a cousin too) that if Maoris start this pro-Israel movement again, the leg and shin is sure to come in to the refreshing waters which wash away sin. Regardless of how it all gets started, New Zealand is certainly called to personify the role of Elijah and should now take up their cloak of zeal.

Cloak of Zeal

Encarta dictionary defines a cloak as a loose, sleeveless, outer garment that fastens at the neck, or as an enshrouding object or force that conceals or covers something. Many times this word cloak likewise carries the implied meaning of confidentiality, hence the saying “cloaked in secrecy”. Many of the Tenach prophets wore a cloak in their prophetic office. Not as some fashion statement, but simply as a part of who these men of the field were. Whereas these cloaks were made and worn to protect them from the harsh elements of the Judean wilderness, they likewise personified the rough and tough exterior of these inhabitants of the desert. Still, most of these hardened outside men had a very soft heart full of the secrets of HaShem. Because most of these men of God were in some form of agriculture or animal husbandry before their calling, most of their garments were made from the very skins and hair of the animals which they raised. For the most part, these garments were not made with comfort in mind, and could be rather irritating at times when rubbing the skin. This was simply because they were not tailor stitched from the best imported wools, but were rather rough vest of hair made from their own goats that were near.

Matthew 11:8 “But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses. But what went ye out to see? A prophet?”

Regardless of the type of hair used to prepare the personal garments of the prophet, the coarse cloak soon became known as an identifying sign (or mantle) of the office of a prophet. You could say that these roughly made, irritatingly itchy garments (covering their soft heart for God) set apart these prophets of old from their hardened-heart counterpart dressed in lavish success in their tailor-made kingly and priestly robes. Just like their cloaks of wool and hair, these course prophets were prepared to irritate and get under the skin of the unrighteous leadership of the nation of HaShem. Basically, when The God of Israel would get put-out with one of these smooth-skinned, callused-hearted leaders of His chosen nation, He would abruptly send in a hardened-faced man of the field to zealously reveal His agrivation. Like so many of the men I was raised around, these God-fearing men of the field looked rough and spoke even harder, yet it was obvious that they were personal friends with the Great Shepherd. Many men of the field have secret things revealed to them from HaShem, and historically it has been these who are bespoke to speak for Him. This brings us full circle back to the cloak of zeal and to another agriculture being called to reveal HaShem’s agitation via a bold declaration of judgment against the nations.

Isaiah 59:17 “…and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak.”

As I have tried to make plain, we are now entering the day that Messiah will change, and even His attire of leniency will expire.

Plainly said, the Lord is about to change and even put on the garments of dread. Like the bold and brash prophets of old, it is foretold that He will be sporting a cloak of zeal to reveal just how irritated He feels. Another way to say it is that Jesus is going out-back to put on sack-cloth to show that He is wroth, and will go down-under and put on a prophetic cloak of thunder.

Many believers will believe that world has come to its end when all this begins. Whereas I know we are to expect the coming of the Lord, I also understand the scriptures well enough to say that there is first to come an age of rage and restoration. As a matter of fact, as the Lord turns the next page of time to that of the predetermined restorative times for Zion, He will simultaneously reveal His cloak of zeal. Ironically, there is a Hebrew word which not only has a very close meaning to that of the word cloak, but also is completely soaked with references to that of New Zealand. This is the Hebrew word tzel, (pronounced zeal) which is comprised of the two letters tzade and lamid. The Hebrew letter tzade implies righteousness, or a righteous servant, while lamid is the picture of a shepherd or leader. Therefore, these two letters together take on the implied meaning of a righteous shepherd. Furthermore, when these two letters are combined they form a brand new word and meaning. This word is tzel (pronounced zeal) which actually means a cloud, shadow, shade and protection in a time of heated disaster. Below is a popular verse with this Hebrew word tzel in context.

Psalms 91:1 “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow (zeal) of the Almighty.”

Now allow me to plainly say that during this coming heated day, New Zealand will become a secret hide-away. This verse actually speaks of living (or dwelling) in a secret place of the most High and further describes this certain geographical location as a cloud or a shadow. Aotearoa, (the land of the long white cloud) is about as big of a secret that remains in the earth today, and perhaps the Almighty has planned it that way. However, I suspect that most American Christians will rather say, “Well, there is no way I will fear and then move so far away from here. I will stand in faith instead.” Whereas I do commend you for your statement of faith, let me warn you that it will not be enough to cover you in the age of rage which is coming in these next days. In fact, if you simply look back at the patterns of the scriptures (and the lives of the righteous men therein) you will begin to see the command to flee as the ultimate exercise of their faith.

Hebrews 11:7 “By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear….and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.”

To go back to where we began, please understand that this word zeal is specifically speaking of a covering similar to that of a cloak worn by the outdoor men of which we previously spoke, to protect them from the elements. Aotearoa, (the land of the long white cloud) amazingly fits under the shadow of all these scriptural clues, and therefore will most certainly be used as a cloak for the Jews and a few true Christians. As an agricultural nation, NZ could certainly be called to sport a prophetic mantle as well, and make bold pro-Israel declarations during the heated times of El Kanah’s jealous manifestation. In fact, the scriptures reveal that Messiah will now change and come out to display His clothes of rage. Also addressed, is a certain geographical vest which He will wear next as He vexes the roadmap pushing nations.

Isaiah 59:17 “…and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak.”

They say that clothes make the man. Likewise, the Son of man has a distinct biblical plan to put on New Zealand as a cloak. Why (you might ask) will Messiah wear and compare this time of vengeance to “the land of the long white cloud”? It is simple: He has chosen this agricultural nation to know and cover His every move. To next speak for Him with a brash and irritating declaration of judgment against the nations that parted His land. This secret place of the Most High will be cloaked and soaked in the Holy Ghost and become a destination of protection from the harsh elements during these coming times of El Kanah’s signs and wonders. Elijah likewise sported this cloak of zeal and is the example of what the Lord has in store for the distant shores of New Zealand.

Cousin Elijah

I know, that name conjures up the image of a back-woods Georgia-pine moonshine runner (or at least it did for me). So allow me to explain. The real truth is that the original prophet Elijah was quite the loner and although he didn’t make moonshine, he was called to shine in the dark days of Israel’s drunkenness. Elijah was also a wilderness man who kinda did his own thing and found his claim to fame in upholding the high and holy name of The God of Israel. But what few knew about that this man of God was that Elijah actually lived outside of Israel’s national borders. As a matter of fact, the Bible refers to this prophet as “Elijah the Tishbite” who was of the inhabitants of Gilead. Whereas there may be some debate as to Elijah’s actual citizenship, we certainly cannot deny his covenantal relationship with Israel’s God; and whether he was born inside (or outside) the actual boundaries of Israel, he certainly displayed a heart and zeal for The God of Israel. Perhaps Elijah is best addressed as a cousin to the Hebrews, who used his blood ties and adjoining lands to take a stand against the unrighteous leadership of his day. As we have previously explored, the Maori people of Aotearoa are likewise filled with this same Elijah type zeal and are the concealed blood cousins to Israel. Simply stated, the Maori are related to the Jews who are hated, and HaShem is calling them (as the sons of Shem) to take up Elijah’s mantle.

Elijah the Tishbite was from Gilead, an area east of Israel in modern day Jordan. This region became renowned for its balm made from local trees known for its healing and soothing virtues. Today, another nation somewhat east of the actual boundaries of Israel with fame for its healing balms from the unique tea tree is prophetically called to be a healing cream to HaShem’s chosen team. It is obvious that New Zealand and Elijah have a lot of common ground and I believe “the land of the long white cloud” will soon arise to cover Zion with a very soothing and healing balm.

Then there is Cousin John: who is also a prophetic outline for New Zealand as they likewise must first shine before the time of Messiah’s reign. John came introducing the Lamb, and went before this gentle Jew with the message of mercy for me and you who are truly repentant. New Zealand’s role is similar. But they, as Cousin Elijah, must personify the rage of the great and terrible day of our age, and show forth this New Zeal for The God of Israel. Still, it will take repentance to seal the soul during this day of Elijah’s role.

Mark 1:15 “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.”

In fact, a worldwide call for repentance for the centuries of anti-Semitic Christian doctrines and national policies will be the message going forth in this terrible day of the Lord. Even as Daniel was informed, the first phase of Israel’s “time” of restoration (time, times, and half a time) is now near completion, and the coming “times” will effectively restore the kingdom of God to Israel, as all nations will be called to come to the light and get it right. For those churches and nations that will hear, fear, and re-gear, a nice gentle baptism of forgiveness will ensue. For those more arrogant and stiff-necked churches and nations, a very violent forced conversion away from anti-Semitism through a tsunami-type baptism could take place until confession is made and reconciliation is paid. The choice will be theirs (as always) yet HaShem will still fulfill His will to Israel. So, it can be said that Cousin Elijah will have a hand (and foot) in turning the heart of the nations back to Israel, and thus Israel’s heart back to their God.

Malachi 4:5-6 “Behold I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of the Lord. And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.”

A very important part of the heart of our Lord is promised to start during the days of Elijah and can be said in one simple word: Restoration. However, as simple as this one word is to say, the complexity of its proposed entirety in the context of its defined “times” is certainly not as easy to relay. Nevertheless, Rabbi gave it His best one day, to the top three of His class. After coming down from this mount of transfiguration, Jesus told these three stunned disciples that a very vital part of this day of His revealing zeal will be fulfilled by the Elijah ministry.

Matthew 17:11 “…Elijah truly shall come first and restore all things.”

A couple of things are extremely important to see in the context of this, our Lord’s order to restore before He returns. First, this verse says that Elijah will come and restore all things. Please also know that all means all, and could become very involved and might actually take some time. Therefore, most Christians might be forced to change their mind concerning their seven year end-time deadline.

The next thing I want you to do is compare this above verse to Malachi’s prophesy of the same prerequisite Elijah ministry. Malachi basically (and bluntly) says to restore or else, and effectively attaches a lurking curse to the verse. This curse dates all the way back to the Genesis 12 birth of Israel. Therefore, we should realize that the location of such restoring vocation is the Jewish nation. Today, this first season of restoration (which is nearly complete) has been a time of voluntary work, and those of us who have a heart of compassion for the people of our Lord do it willingly (without order) but with reward. However, the next coming age (scripturally defined as “times') will be a different story, and will be brought forth by a strong hand and demand to restore the Jewish homeland.

Daniel 12:7 “And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was on the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half.”

This angelically defined threefold series of time designed for the restoration of Zion is very unique in the fact that we are told to “know” and “understand” the plan. But perhaps the rarest thing for us to compare is that we are actually given time frames in conjunction with this heavenly unction to restore. As a rule of thumb, it is usually dumb to put dates with biblical statements. Nevertheless, The God of Israel has seemingly made an exception when it comes to the specified restoration of His own nation.

Daniel 9:25 “Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks.”

This heavenly authorization of restoration was scriptural promised to begin with the recovery of Jerusalem (1967) and was further revealed to contain two phases, the first of which would be a voluntary-type restoration for specifically 49 years (one Jubilee cycle). Therefore, know that this first season is coming to a completion even as we are speaking, and the lurking year of 2016 should put this restoration plan into second gear, and also a demand. Whereas this first 49 year phase has been a very intense and eventful season, this next age will most certainly turn a new page on this restoration phase, and will graduate from a strong suggestion into a commanded restoration that will even be enforced through destruction. Peter got this revelation as he witnessed the gentle Lamb become the mighty Lion of Zion there atop the mount of transfiguration. In fact, Peter said exactly what Daniel was told, and strongly suggested the building of homes. However, today it may take the transfiguration of the Lamb before the leaders of the church and state begin to say, “Let Israel be restored and build homes even in those contested zones.”

Matthew 17:4 “Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.”

I strongly believe that as we approach these next “times” our world will go into a birthing type scenario with pains and intense sorrows. These times of trouble will be brought forth by the jealous transfiguration of the Lord against these years of land revocations and building moratoriums put upon the nation of which HaShem has been restoring since 1948. These next “times” of trouble will effectively tear down these opposing nations, but will simultaneously give life to two very distinct ministries. Again foretold in the transfiguration story and represented in Moses, a major Jewish exodus out of America will begin under the raised up rod of El Kanah (Jealous God). At the same time, Elijah’s ministry will command the restoration of all things (including the land) to a people (the Jews) detrimentally used by the hand of their God.

So when will it all begin, and if this is not the end, then when?

That is a reasonable question, and I figure the answer can likewise be seen in the themes on the mount of transfiguration. Plainly stated, during the fall festival of Tabernacles (as referenced by Peter) the zealous anger of Yeshua will awake, the world will be given a shake, the water will break, and an intense time of sorrows will make these two tag-team ministries of Moses and Elijah fully take their place in the earth. But first, know before it begins that according to this verse, it is not yet the end.

Mark 13:6-7 “…but the end shall not be yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginning of sorrows.”

Although earthquakes will hit in weird areas, and war will be worldwide again, this is not actually “the end”. And just because there is famine in the aisles of your local supermarket, and much rioting in the streets, it does not mean that all things are complete. What these events will signify is the end of the initial season of restoration, or that first defined 49 years of “time”. Next will come a lengthy phase of the restoration of all things, or perhaps better named “the days of Elijah”. Now just one of those proposed things to be reclaimed is the actual years that were taken from the Jewish people. This also further explains why we are allowed (and even encouraged) to actually know and understand these time frames. Because they too are a part of the restoration allotted to the Jews.

These multiple scriptures make it clear that hard times are near, but they further define these “times” as the restoration of the years for the Jewish tears. Likewise, we are warned about the modern day obstruction to Israeli construction and shown an ensuing phase of Yeshua’s rage. This transfiguration narrative further shows just how imperative it will be in these next “times” for the remaining church and state to participate in this commandment to restore all things. With that said, perhaps there is a distant cousin instead which might better handle Elijah’s mantle, and become the last to first say, Restore.

Restore

From my teenage years I found that I had a desire to restore things. First it was an old pick-up truck, then it became cars and tractors. I next graduated up to houses and eventually even ranches. There is something rather special about finding an old gem which has been really beat down, abused or discarded and spending some time and effort to see it brought back to its original splendor. Webster’s dictionary defines this word restore as: to bring back, or put back into a former or original state. The word restore is certainly a very unique term and even a personal trait of the Almighty which the nations would be wise to discern. Whereas The God of Israel has been effectively ordering the restoration of the nation and people of Israel since 1948, there has likewise been worldly opposition of late stirring up their rusty old Jewish hate. This old disease of anti-Semitism has also been repackaged lately and today is being called Zionist aggression or Israeli occupation. Whereas it is not politically correct today to come right out and openly speak hatred against the Jews, it has become politically accepted to call the Jews the illegal occupiers, and to refer to the State of Israel as the aggressive Zionist apartheid regime. This trend is even accepted by many of the world’s major Christian denominations and America’s State Department has even been referring to sections of Israel as illegal settlements and occupied Arab land. Whereas these terms may sound politically clean and shiny, if you simply take a closer look you can see right through that it is not anything new. In fact, it is still that old crusty and rusty demonic hatred of the Jews which seeks Israel’s deterioration and ultimate annihilation. Ironically, even in opposite contrast as to the definition of the word restore, this renewed hate of the Jews is now focused at the actual State of Israel which has been caringly brought back by the meticulous hand of the heavenly Restorer.

When looking for something to restore, the craftsman must first identify that special sentimental item which perhaps also has an original high value or was of a limited availability. These rare items of age and value can simply be regarded as extremely valuable to you, or perhaps to someone in your family. Some people desire to restore an item that was taken away from them or that had to be sold which they really cherished. Regardless, there must first be that heart connection to really make it a great restoration project that will draw you to put the zeal of your heart and soul into your work.

My 1934 Chevrolet that my grandfather gave me when I was 5 years old which I restored in 2011. Riding with me are my father and son.

The God of Israel also seems to enjoy a good restoration project and has recently brought back home a trodden treasure of His own. There, in His shop, an extensive time of repair will not stop until the zeal of the Lord has completely renewed this land and people which were so harshly used. But what few Christians seem to properly view is the length of time that HaShem will spend as He repairs the breach of each and every one of them. In fact, El Kanah (Jealous God) will even bring back Moses and Elijah to help him first dismantle the anti-Semitic church and state which have made the mistake of trying to slow down the restoration of His ground.

Like any restoration job, the first thing that has to happen is a very dramatic dismantling process. At one point I looked around my shop to see my ‘34 Chevy laying in a thousand pieces and said to myself, “What have I done” (or undone). But I knew this tearing down process was necessary to see all the rust and dust removed from each and every part of this special project so close to my heart. Today, the same revelatory concept which John the Baptist spoke, “I must decrease and He must increase” very much applies to America’s demise and Israel’s simultaneous rise. Nevertheless, few Christians or Jews living in the excess of this nation of success are willing to address this decreasing process which has already begun. Still, this dismantling of the U.S.A. will be done in order to restore the kingdom to Israel. So with that said, just what lengths do you think their God of zeal will go to in order to peel away the centuries of hatred, lies, and demise away from their chosen lives?

Even before the deterioration began, God showed Isaiah this restoration plan for a people and land called by His name. But to fully understand the restoration project at hand, we should first take a good look at just what the Jews went through, and why. First HaShem told Isaiah that this would be a people robbed and spoiled. Over the last two centuries this has legally happened to the Jews, and even the church and state have participated in this rape. Yet to date few ask how or why. So Paul was called to say (even before they were taken away) that their diminishing would benefit the world, and this robbing would enrich the Gentiles spiritually. But Paul also hinted of a time of restoration and a time of fullness for the Jews which will bless the world even greater.

Romans 11:12 “Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fullness.”

There is a promised blessing for the world contained in this scripture if we will actively participate in the restoration of the State of Israel. If the Jews are brought back and restored to their original state and all that anti-Semitic rusty hate is replaced with a fresh coat of shiny paint, Paul says, for the world it will be great. With that said, the world is (instead) still in the stealing mode and now wants the Jewish homeland to be a Palestinian abode. But stealing from the Jews is nothing new. The following picture is just a sample of some of the personal items (shoes and clothes) that were taken from the Jews during the Holocaust.

Not only did Isaiah foretell of the robbing of these precious people of his God, but continued by saying they would be snared in holes and hidden in prison houses. Yet, I doubt even Isaiah fully realized the full horrific reality of what would actually happen. The picture below shows the actuality of these prison houses Isaiah spoke of which these chosen people were forced into as they were robbed of property, every worldly possession, and even their personal dignity. As Isaiah predicted, these precious Jewish people were hid in these prison houses and then worked, starved, and massacred.

Isaiah 42:22 “But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil. And none saith, Restore.”

Isaiah’s prophesy concluded with a graphic description of the mass burial sites which were dug by bulldozers as these robbed and spoiled people of the Living God were systematically killed by the millions and ultimately disrespected even in death. Although we cannot change history or correct the terrible things that have happened in the past to the Jews, we are certainly responsible for today. There is a good work in progress and many of these broken precious people have had their lives and lands returned. Nevertheless, today the world’s oldest disease is once again spreading across the nations, a line is being drawn, and the question of the day is: “Which side are you on?” Will you side with the world, or will you say, Restore?

Isaiah 42:22-23 “…And none saith, Restore. Who among you will give ear to this? Who will hearken for the time to come?”

The Dis-Mantle of Elijah

As the story goes, Elijah threw down his mantle as he was taken up in the whirlwind of God’s chariot. But before he was taken up, this man of God had a very specific job that was laid out for him to perform. The Elijah ministry was one of boldness that required him to confront the leadership of his time and command a return to the standards and ways of The God of Israel. Simply stated, his ministry was one of restoration. But in order to put things back in their original order, Elijah was given the ability to first cause disorder. In any restoration job, the first step to rebuilding something to its original state is usually a dramatic dismantling process. Interestingly enough, Elijah’s mantle of restoration gave him supernatural power over the elements of the earth itself. This man of God is biblically on record for having called down fire from heaven and for stopping the rain for three and a half years. Elijah also seemingly had fire, earthquakes, and stormy winds follow him around in his prophetic office. In fact, his life and ministry on earth even ended in a climatic meteorological event as a rapturing tornado took him to heaven.

2 Kings 2:11 “…and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.”

Then another Elijah type ministry was handed this mantle of restoration to a man named John who was a fore-runner of the Messiah Ben Yoseph (Jesus). He too was called to speak with sharp truth against the unrighteous leadership of Israel in his days. Yet John also walked in a ministry which individually called for the dismantling of sin via personal repentance and baptism before this coming Lamb was said to baptize with fire. John’s ministry, like that of Elijah’s, was also one of dismantling restoration.

Mathew 17:11 “And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.”

This brings us back again to the promise of Elijah’s return before the great and dreadful day of the Lord, and like the word restore defines, this man of God will come back to the state of his original calling. In fact, we are told and showed in Revelation of two witnesses standing in the courts of Israel’s restored temple who are not only calling for repentance and a return to the ways of God, but also have great power over the elements to dismantle the world as we know it. These two are said to have power over the rain, over fire, over the waters on earth, and all other types of plagues that have to do with this final Passover event.

Revelation 11:6 “These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophesy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.”

What so few Christians have understood is that Elijah’s ministry is one of restoration for the nation and people of Israel. However, any restoration project initially involves a very dramatic tearing down process. Therefore, all manner of plagues and natural disasters will be released first to dismantle the anti-Semitic church and state. These dramatic events will effectively restore the importance of the Jewish State to all those who harbored that rusty anti-Israel hate. However, please understand that this proposed dismantling (which has already begun) will take a considerable amount of time to properly undo what has been done unto the Jews. Therefore, Elijah’s ministry will effectively enforce Israel’s rise by first grinding off the years of hatred and demise, and eventually restoring honor to them in the world’s eyes. Nevertheless, let us also address that before the Lord can fully restore His people to their original state, Elijah’s dis-mantle must make the economies of the world be floored. In fact, it is Wall Street today that holds back so many of the chosen race from returning to their original Jewish State. But make no mistake about it, Elijah’s dis-mantle will handle it. We should also realize that as Messiah Ben David eventually comes on the heels of Elijah’s ministry, He too will continue this enforced support of Israel, by controlling the world’s elements.

Zechariah 14:17 “And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.”

So, as we define the promised ministry of Elijah we should expect the dismantling of the world’s economies and the simultaneous restoration of all things unto the Jewish people and homeland. A good place to start for any nation that wants good weather in the days of Elijah would be a national declaration of Jerusalem as the undivided capital of the Jewish people. But please don’t stop there, for we are told that “all things” must first be restored, and then Messiah will come. In fact, there is another issue which has been foretold to be restored to Israel that could take some time.

Joel 2:25 “And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten…”

The Christian end-time teachings have all but dismantled Elijah’s ministry of restoration to the people and nation of our God, and doctrinal mistakes have been made in respect to the years that are to be repaid. What if this scripture is true and The God of Israel has such a zeal for His people Israel that He gives back every year that was stolen from them? This could take a while. In addition, Daniel was angelically informed of 490 years that would be calculated as restitution to these fractioned people and this divided nation.

Daniel 9:25 “Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.”

Even though we all know The God of Israel is a restorer of all things, we have not seen this truth in conjunction with the very people called by His name. Why is it that we have ignorantly closed our eyes to this magnificent restoration of HaShem’s nation, and stubbornly folded our ears to hear about the restoration of years? Nevertheless, Israel is being brought back to its original state of glory and their God will renew their honor among the nations, even if it means using the elements of the world to dismantle those who oppose.

Isaiah 64:2-4 “As when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thine name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence! When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence. For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.”

The Hebrews have certainly waited a long time for their times to shine as defined by the prophets, and their Messiah has also prepared a very extensive and detailed renovation which will be done during an earth shaking lava run. It is during these coming “times” that another “people of old time” (who have also waited a time) will likewise begin to shine. For New Zealand, and the Maori people therein, there is a very anointed call waiting for yall to pick up. It is the mantle of Elijah which will not only be used to bring about this time of God’s zeal, but also the times of restoration for His chosen nation, Israel. Please understand that your place of protection will be right in the middle of these supernatural events and if you will become a supporter of Israel and stand with their menorah, you will also be given power over the elements of our world.

Revelation 11:3-4 “And I will give power unto my two witnesses…..These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.”

The calling HaShem has upon the Islands of New Zealand is best seen and described as this mantle of Elijah and is a command to physically participate (and even lead) in the restoration of God’s chosen seed. However, the denial of this divine calling carries the threat of terrible consequences and could cause destruction until this resistance is dismantled, or these leaders’ views are renewed. On the other hand, the result of answering this call will be extremely beneficial to all the land and people down-under and could even result in that whole section of the world seeing the glory of the Lord rest upon it.

The Glory Cloud

I certainly realize just how drastic much of this book will sound, and I know the many different challenges it will present against your established mindset of Christian teachings. This whole project was likewise very challenging for me, as a simple man with a farmer’s tan that just enjoys working the land. All the same, the Lord’s hand has so persistently guided me through these plans of His, and has made these futuristic claims of His name so presently real to me that I could never deny their authenticity. All along the way the Lord has guided me with His glory cloud, and in fact, I want to complete this book with one of those dreams He gave me to encourage me in this difficult task.

As I have mentioned in a previous chapter, my room while growing up in the Texas Panhandle was in the basement of my parents’ home. I absolutely loved the privacy and the serenity that this subterranean space provided for me. During this personal odyssey of revelation about the Lord’s new zeal, one night He spoke to me in an amazing dream. I dreamt that I was sound asleep in that deep, dark basement when I heard the door atop open up. Whereas I was still asleep, I began to hear the steps of someone coming down-under to awaken me. There was this amazing glowing light and a glorious presence that accompanied this One who was coming down for me, which I could even feel in my sleep. My soul was first to respond even as my body slept on. Yet with each step of His feet I began to feel less asleep and more complete. Then it happened: He appeared from out of the end of the staircase and spoke to me, “My son, arise, come to me.” Immediately I awoke and saw the Lord of Glory (in my dream still). My foot instantly responded and I took one step towards this Lord of Glory. This radiate glow that surrounded Him was overwhelming and I began to weep. I recognized this familiar sensation as that same glorious cloud that overshadowed me as a child that first day of His visitation as I stepped out into the aisle of that Central Baptist Church to accept His salvation invitation. It is that feeling that makes me weep because I feel so complete when I draw nigh to Him.

This one step that I originally took toward the Lord at the age of nine has sustained me through this life of mine. Yes, there have certainly been difficulties, disappointments, and tears. However, just one minute in His glorious comforting presence has revived me time and time again throughout the years. I suppose I have always been satisfied with the Holy Spirit’s glory cloud which the Lord has long comforted me in. But next, in my dream, the Lord beckoned me to take a step, again. As I took another stride closer to His side everything changed, and the intensity of just that one step took me into a realm of such amazing glory that I suddenly had no desire for the things of this world anymore. Everything and everyone fell into a distant memory and all I wanted was Him. I felt myself overwhelmed with the desire to run fully into His glory, and was about to when He stretched out His Jewish arm and signaled for me to come no closer. He told me (with His eyes of fire) that if I took another step I would not be able to go back. Truthfully, I did not want to go back, until He instructed me that the “times” were not yet fulfilled. It was then that I realized that this Lord of Glory was asking of me a duty.

Acts 1:6-7 “When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? And he saith unto them, it is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

It was from that dream that Yeshua first began to show me His heart to start a new season of restoration for Israel during a specified allotment of “times”. Albeit the majority of Christianity today has no room in their end-time theories for this heart-felt plan of the Son of Man for His own nation, these early disciples certainly knew about this eventual plan to renew the kingdom to Israel. In fact, this would be their last question asked to their Rabbi before He would ascend into the great by-and-by. Whereas these first disciples of the Lord certainly knew of HaShem’s plan to glorify their homeland, Messiah simply put up His hand and signaled for them to only take one step at a time. Yeshua knew that the fall of the Jews (which would lead to the salvation of the Gentiles) was actually just beginning. Therefore, that next phase of the glorious raising of this chosen nation would be a far stride into a distant time. What Christ did have staged for this early Messianic age was for them to take the first spiritual step forward into the anointing of God’s shekinah glory. By which they were commissioned to take this initial part of the gospel into the heart of Israel, and eventually unto the ends of the earth.

Acts 1:8 “But you shall receive power after that the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all of Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”

Actually, these disciples were only given four distinct geographical locations that the Holy Spirit would empower them to preach this message of Yeshua crucified and resurrected: Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the uttermost part of the earth. So they began (after the Spirit came on them) there in Jerusalem, and next went to Judea and then Samaria. These three locations were all inside their home nation as this first step of ministry was divinely ordered to the Jewish people first. Still, a fourth location was identified as a promised place of grace and Holy Spirit power: the uttermost part of the earth. Once again, we find another reference specifically detailing New Zealand. This phrase, “uttermost part” is purposely singular and is actually the same Greek word eschatos which we have identified in previous chapters as referring to New Zealand. Somehow, most Christian theologians have interpreted this bottom of the world geographical place (scripturally referenced above) to instead detail all the Gentile world. Whereas the gospel of Christ has certainly gone out into all the world, this specific full gospel (inclusive of Israel’s fall and rise again) has certainly not been preached in all the Gentile streets. Simply stated, Yeshua’s promise of empowering presence was given even in the context of this next phase of times to reinstate the kingdom unto Israel. This promise furthermore distinctly defined four locations for the movement of the Holy Ghost: three in Israel and then the uttermost. Well actually, this last place on earth will be the first to fit into this verse, and receive the Lord’s full gospel plan and step into this next level anointing. Then, from the end (since the last will be first) this anointing will begin to work its way back home through the troubled and contested zones of Samaria, Judea, and finally Jerusalem (which was first but now last). Please try to see this as phase two of the gospel, or the times of the Jews. Indeed, the gospel was always planned to be cut into two parts even as shown and purchased by the first blood of Yeshua’s circumcision.

Luke 2:34,32 “Behold this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel…..A light to lighten the Gentiles and the glory of thy people Israel.”

During the first half of the gospel, the Gentile world openly received the message. Simultaneously, the Jews were falling into chaos and disbelief, even as a part of that part. Now as we enter step two for the Jew, it will be many (instead of few) that will choose to believe. However, during these next “times” the fall will come to all the Gentile nations which disrespect and/or reject this step two which sees to the glorification of HaShem’s chosen nation. Remaining true to the themes of the first phase, there will still be some (now among the Gentiles) who will raise the standard. This is what the Lord was showing me in this basement dream. I felt Him coming down into the lower parts of the earth, and truly believe that the basement is New Zealand and these specific isles of the South Pacific.

Isaiah 44:21-23 “…thou art my servant: O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me. I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee. Sing, O ye heavens; for the Lord hath done it: shout, ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified himself in Israel.”

In my dream, Yeshua was coming downstairs in a great cloud of glory. It was so strong and intense that it was electrifying and even terrifying. At the same time, I was feeling a kind of joy which I had never known before. Ultimately, I knew this great presence surrounding my King of the Jews represented step two, and was the restoring glory for the Hebrews He allowed bruised for me and you. Sadly enough, this part two for the Jew has no place today in the Gentile Christian mind or their church’s eschatology of end times. Nevertheless, this King of Glory has a different ending to the story, and perhaps it is even ordained for a certain cloud to once again be first to receive the Lord.

Acts 1:9 “And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.”

After Messiah promised the Holy Ghost, in the context of the question of the seasons and times of Israel’s restoration by the apostles, He miraculously ascended into heaven where the first thing that fully received Him was a cloud. Very possibly another reference to “the land of the long white cloud” especially whereas the last thing He had just said was, “and unto the uttermost part of the earth”.

All the sudden, as the disciples were shockingly witnessing Yeshua ascend, there were two angels standing by them. These two angels of HaShem asked them a strange question.

Acts 1:11 “…ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.”

Perhaps this was an angelic reprimand that believers should not just stand around looking up during these end times. But rather gather that a glorious next phase will now be raised from the lower parts of the earth, as the Lord begins to put everything in reverse. In other words, this step two of the times of salvation for the Jews will be first received by the last uttermost nation represented in the cloud. Now the reward to this basement nation of Aotearoa for actively engaging in the King’s plans is promised to be glorious.

Isaiah 60:9,13 “Surely the isles shall wait for me…..and I will make the place of my feet glorious.”

Ultimately, the glory of God is promised to return to the people and nation of its origin, Israel. This is that same glory cloud which led the Jews out from under the bondage of Egypt, which also came down upon the temple of Solomon, and which personally over-shadowed the Apostle Peter, by which the sick were healed. We born again, Spirit-filled believers understand this glorious presence to be defined as the power of the Holy Ghost. During the first step of the gospel, this glory cloud of The God of Israel was graciously spread abroad into all the Gentile nations, even while Israel lie in a pile of dust and ashes. Today, after the earth has now heard a declaration say, “Eretz Israel', the glory of Israel’s God is liable to begin its long journey back to its own sod. In fact, as these Gentile nations rage, saying, “Give your land away', we are entering a new phase where their glory will be stripped away and come home in a very detailed and certain way.

Zechariah 2:8-9 “For thus saith the Lord of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye. For, behold, I will shake my hand upon them and they shall be a spoil to their servants…”

For me personally, it all comes down to the following callings. That is to say, as a prophet unto the nations today I have been called to state, “If you interfere with His restoring, the Lord will take away your glory.” Furthermore, as an apostle of the Lord’s church I am sent first to articulate, “Escape, then participate in part two for the Hebrews if you do not want to lose His presence.” Please remember, the true definition of the word church is the called out ones. Simply stated, if your denomination and/or nation is speaking out (or acting out) against Israel, then without a doubt you should get out. Should you choose to stay in the U.S.A. then let me say that today you need to prepare for the chaos that is on the way. As the scriptures foretell, this next step into the “times‚ of Israel’s Jubilee will likewise be a season full of earthquakes, raging seas, and failing economies.

Haggai 2:6-9 “For thus saith the Lord of hosts: Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land. And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts. The silver is mine and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts. The glory of this latter house shall be greater than the former, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place I shall give peace, saith the Lord of hosts.”

Whereas the glory of God is destined to come back home, there is a certain geographical route by which it must come about. From the end it will begin, and the last shall be first. So, you should know that the uttermost coasts will host a great move of the Holy Ghost. This will both signify and magnify the fact that we have entered phase two where the Lord will now turn to the Jews. However, this next step of the gospel will be accompanied by a turbulent time upon all, which will (in turn) make it fall. What I am saying is for the eastern nations to brace themselves, first for the flood and then for the grace. Even as the western nations are now forced to face the fear of 40 years of their land revoking policies against Jacob.

Isaiah 59:19-20 “So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall raise up a standard against him. And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the Lord.”

In conclusion, New Zealand has a destiny and duty defined as the Lamb becomes the jealous Lion of Zion. This divine promise of God’s glory descending upon the east will be released when the people of this chosen nation truly enter into their divine purpose. It will very soon be evident that our world has entered into this next phase of times as a major paradigm shift takes place, which will be signified and accompanied with untold natural disasters and cosmic signs. As the nations rise against Israel, The God of Israel will also rise and this midnight hour will dictate a time of great trouble which will decisively break up world powers and divide the Christian church. Whereas this midnight partition of the times will seem very dark, it will also signify the start of the second part of the gospel of our Lord toward His own. This time of war and disaster will first give way as this last nation on earth turns away from the curse and begins to say, “Restore”. The immediate result will be healing in New Zealand and the hour of Holy Ghost power descending over this entire eastern region. A new and real church of the redeemed will be birthed and new Middle Eastern political policies will likewise be unearthed. This new standard raised from the bottom of the earth will be responsible for the rebirth of many of our Lord’s own, and will even become their second home. A very unique hemming together of Jews and Christian Zionists will down there take place as waves of amazing grace flow over the atmosphere of their space.

We are now at that critical junction in time when the foundations will come unbound for not heeding the warning sounds on the ground of Israel’s Lamb. Now too will the oceans roar as the jealous Lion of the land of Zion demands for the nations to restore. Drastic times are certainly on the horizon, but there is also a new day dawning for the Islands of Aotearoa and beyond. For the unique “people of old time” down there, it will be a zealous time to raise their palms in the air and boldly begin to declare, Passover. Yeshua is officially calling: Arise, land of the rising Sun, and receive the Lord’s plan into your “land of the long white cloud” and may all the world witness your New Zeal for The God of Israel.

Deuteronomy 4:24 “For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.”
