America Ch. 20

Cyrus, Trump & America’s True Foundation 

Part I 

So who was Cyrus - and how is he connected to Trump and America?

Isaiah 44:28  …who says of Cyrus,                                       ‘He is my shepherd,and he shall fulfill all my purpose’;                                         saying of Jerusalem, ‘She shall be built,’.                             and of the temple, ‘Your foundation shall be laid.’” 

Read also Ezra ch. 1  (Israel’s return from exile)

Why was Israel’s return from exile so necessary?

…It was not, as one celebrity prophet put it, because “Israel was hopelessly captive to the Deep State.”!

(They were under God’s discipline for idolatry - and had been for 70 years - their captivity had been for their own good…they had been refined!)  

It was not to “make Israel great again”

(the whole point of the 70 years captivity was to humble them to repentance…to raise up a generation who have learned the lesson of Deuteronomy 8:1-5…and who understand that apart from God they are nothing) 

So why was Israel’s return important?:

i. For the uncovering of their original Foundations (Ezra ch.3)- When  confronted by these, the people were brought “home” to the reality of The God of Their Fathers - and their transgression against Him….Their hearts were brought back to a place of humility and penitence…and it was then - at that point - that they were ready to rebuild on those Foundations! 

ii. For The rebuilding of The Temple (Ezra ch.3): The “House of God” was the heart - the Foundation Stone of the nation of Israel…The Place that the Lord had prepared for His final ultimate Sacrifice , that would end all others and defeat evil, once for all. ✝️ (See Gen 22:1-18 & 2Sam. 24:16-25). 

iii. For the rebuilding of the Wall - symbolic of the restoration of Jerusalem as the Holy City (Ps.87)- from out of which, Salvation will come…

And it is back to this Holy Mountain and this Foundation that the Lord is calling Israel - after 70 years in the wilderness - to remember the original Covenant - and renew it…To rediscover the nation’s original Foundation - and rebuild upon it - from the ground up. 

Now, in a place of humility and with a hungering to return to the Place of the original Covenant made by their forefathers - a Remnant (an army) under Yeshua the priest and Zerubbabel the king in exile, is ready to step out and return…

And right on time, the Lord will move powerfully in the heart of King Cyrus of Persia: He will be the hand that God uses to open that window for this Remnant to move - and to keep it open.

This Remnant - (approximately 2% of Israel’s total population at that time) had not established themselves in exile…not made themselves comfortable to the point where they didn’t want to move - quite the opposite: they were hungry to  return - to repent (the Hebrew word “shuv”meaning both)

So did they succeed? - Were they obedient to the mandate of the Lord?

The books of Ezra and Nehemiah tell us absolutely YES!

With tears and lamenting                                                    (Ezra ch3:12-13 & ch.10)…

…and great opposition                                                            (Ezra ch4 & Nehemiah ch4&6), 

they were obedient to the commission of the Lord…and because of their obedience, humility and courage the Lord blessed them in their work and they were ultimately successful… 

Part II 

How about America? What is our Foundation?  And what was our commission under our “Cyrus” Donald Trump? 

To answer that, we must go back to words that were spoken by one of America’s first fathers: 

From Cape Henry, Virginia, in the year 1607, the Rev. Robert Hunt dedicates the Land to the Lord…He says the following:

"…from these very shores the Gospel shall go forth to not only this New World but the entire world." 

The spreading of the Gospel is the Foundation Stone of America: For those first pilgrims, this prayer of dedication was a “Declaration of Dependence” on the Thrice-Holy God in whose Name they had come…that, although they had  found Liberty in this New World, they would lay it down - surrender it back to God, for the sake of spreading the Gospel of the Kingdom. 

If we want the Lord’s blessing on this nation, we must return to this original Foundation.

…But didn’t we do this under Trump? 

Did we uncover this Foundation and stand upon it? 

In answer, The Lord brought me to Haggai ch 1:2-11 -

“This is what the Lord of Hosts says: The people are saying, ‘The time has not yet come to rebuild the house of the Lord.’”

Then the Lord sent this message through the prophet Haggai: “Why are you living in luxurious houses while my house lies in ruins? This is what the Lord of Hosts says: Look at what’s happening to you! You have planted much but harvest little. You eat but are not satisfied. You drink but are still thirsty. You put on clothes but cannot keep warm. Your wages disappear as though you were putting them in pockets filled with holes!

“This is what the Lord of Hosts says: Look at what’s happening to you! Now go up into the hills, bring down timber, and rebuild my house. Then I will take pleasure in it and be honored, says the Lord.  You hoped for rich harvests, but they were poor. And when you brought your harvest home, I blew it away. Why? Because my house lies in ruins, says the Lord of Hosts, while all of you are busy building your own fine houses”.

Part III 

In the end, Israel’s Remnant were faithful, courageous and trusted The Lord, even in the face of fierce and persistent opposition and oppression…and when the Lord saw that their hearts were steadfast, committed and truly repentant, He renewed His favor upon them, raising up next, King Darius the Mede and then King Artaxerxes, until after almost a century  - between Cyrus’s decree and Nehemiah completing the Wall - the work in its entirety was finally finished.

“I will put at your helm for 2 terms, a President that will pray…” Kim Clement 2007

So, what if we too had humbled ourselves and dedicated our lives to this great work the Lord was calling us to?…Would He have also renewed His favor upon us - and given Trump (our Cyrus) a second term in office, as the prophet spoke? 

Yes, I believe He would. 

But from the outset of Trump’s inauguration, we the Church were prideful, and used this gift of grace to build our own fine houses, instead of working to build His. We boasted in our own power and prosperity instead of humbling ourselves, as the remnant of Israel did, in recognizing that it is only “because of His mercies that we are not destroyed” (Lam. 3:22)

Through President Trump, we were given an open window - to preach the Gospel of Salvation through repentance from sins, throughout the nation - and around the globe: But those Airways of Freedom were used instead, to preach a seeker-sensitive, man-centered and worldly gospel…Our God-given Liberty was used to spread a ‘gospel’ of greed, worldly dominionism and prosperity, in the Name of Jesus, to nations and to peoples who knew no better! We were supposed to teach them the Way of Jesus (Luke 9:23-24) - but instead we have preached the opposite. 

We were so focused on building an earthly kingdom…a physical wall (see link below) that we forgot about the spiritual one.

We were supposed to be the “City On A Hill”  - but we have been nothing more then a pyramid of celebrities - that is an exact replica of the world.

So now the Lord will refine us to humble us. Because He loves this Land, America will go through the olive press: Like ancient Israel, her Foundations will be laid bare. But it will not be because of the unbeliever (not because of the Republican, nor the Democrat).

Judgement begins at God’s own House. It will be primarily because of us…

 

Ezekiel 13:3-7

“Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit and have seen nothing! Your prophets, Israel, are like jackals among ruins. 

You have not gone up to the breaches in the wall to repair it for the people of Israel so that it will stand firm in the battle on the day of the Lord. 

Their visions are false and their divinations a lie. Even though the Lord has not sent them, they say, “The Lord declares,” and expect him to fulfill their words. Have you not seen false visions and uttered lying divinations when you say, “The Lord declares,” though I have not spoken?”

See also Jeremiah ch. 6:13-15 & ch.14:14, 

Matthew 7:15 & 24:24

So for a season, the Lord will take away their platform and their voice. 

For a season I believe I saw disruptions of towers and satellites - for a season I saw screens (electronic screens - through which these so called “voices of God” were speaking) go dark. For a time there was a strange silence in the airwaves over America…and at last, for a season the Voice of the Lord could be heard.

***I do not know the timings of this, but I am giving warning of what I see: We must have a plan in place of how to contact loved ones, etc, should our communications (our screens) go dark. The Lord is giving us time.***

In Conclusion 

The  Lord gave the faithful Remnant of Israel, first Cyrus, then Darius and Artaxerxes to finish the work. If we want to see Trump - or another like him in office again, we too must humble ourselves, surrender our Liberty to the bond-service of Jesus Christ, the God of our forefathers, and finish the work they began…Because, if Trump - or anyone like him ever returns, it will not be for our comfort…and it will be to a different America (to a nation on its head, with its Foundations laid bare)…because we will be a different (refined by fire) Church. 

After this nation has been brought low - to its Foundations - then and only then - will the Lord Himself begin bless, heal  and Fortify it - by His own Hand…

Why?

Because. "…from these very shores the Gospel shall go forth to not only this New World but the entire world." (Robert Hunt) 

And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached through all the world as a witness to every nation 🇺🇸 and then the end will come (Where is America in the end times? Right here  - Matthew 24:14)

 But if we (the Church) do not go back to this “declaration of dependence” upon the Lord, I felt Him say that we (the nation) will be in danger of losing our Declaration of Independence…

But when we do eventually go back - which we will…

I can’t say anything else except - it is just the most incredible thing I have ever seen in my whole life! 🇺🇸
