â€œLIFT HIGH HIS ROYAL BANNER”

KING OF KINGS

Every Army that has ever marched and every Navy that has ever sailed has gone forth under a National banner, Ensign or Flag. The most prolific Banner in modern times has been the Red, White and Blue of the United States of America. The Stars and Stripes has been with us in some style and manner since the American Revolution when our ancestors said to the British Commonwealth of nations “We will serve no King but King Jesus”. We refer to our Flag simply as, “Old Glory.” and until recent days the Stars and Stripes has represented a Nation and a people bound to the past in truth, honor, virtue, fidelity and valor, it has been a proud banner and a Grand old Flag, flying high and proudly for many years over this, the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. The colors that make up our National Flag are to be found in the ancient standards and ensigns of Biblical Israel. The Red stripes representing vigilence, justice, perserverance and judgement, and the righteous blood which has been shed to maintain all four things. The White stripes of the flag signify Holiness, innocence, purity and seperation from evil. The Blue Field, the color of the sky, signifies Love as only YAHWEH from Heaven can give, and it is also a call to remembrance of the Law which came to our people from the Throne of Majesty, YAHWEH, Numbers 15:38-39. The Stars of White on the field of Blue represent the people of the Nation to whom GOD gave the land and the Gold border fringe denotes its Royal or Kingly heritage.

There are still those of us who think back in time and remember what it is like to be a Patriotic American and a God fearing Christian, and it makes no difference whether you believe it or not, the two go hand in hand. There were times during World War II that I and other small boys would stand watching parades and salute the flag as it was carried by. At the time we didn’t fully understand why, only that something really special was in our presence. After growing older, we became embroiled in yet another War, this time in Korea and we remember the flag as it lay over the many coffins of our fallen brothers. At that time in my life, I asked things of myself that could be answered with government imposed logic and thus failed to demand answers to other questions which went unasked. Questions like, why must we as Americans die in these foreign countries where the people are alien to us and are no part of us? What possible good can come from White Christian men dying to advance or protect the culture of the Yellow non-Christian Asian? Years later we witnessed the same thing take place in another part of the Asian world, Vietnam. We allowed our young men and women to be sent to another Alien and hostile land to bleed and die for the preservation of a culture that has no meaning in our lives. So many young dead Anglo Americans. The cream of our society has been squandered in the support of something that is alien to us and we pay no mind, as if we had been born in total ignorance. Our nation became a divided land over that horribly pitiful war in Vietnam. There were those who vented their hatred and fear by burning the Flag and desecrating the memory of all that had fought and died under its cover. There were those among us who stood silently as the mind screamed "WHY"!, and in crashing silence that question went unheard or better yet, unanswered. Why so many, so young and so dead? Why were these who returned and chose not to dishonor the flag and survived these two senseless wars so set upon by society as to be made to feel that their spark of patriotism was an abomination to humanity? Why does our country now pay honor and tribute to those who turned their backs on the concept of the flag? In this year of 2005 I ask "Why have the American people elected two confessed 'Draft Dodgers', back to back, to the office of President of the Country"? I fear that these questions will forever go unanswered now that the age of Aquarius is ushering in the New World Order. 

The New Agers who have usurped the Laws of GOD and made them of none effect in the United States of America today have done their job well. They started by burning the flag and refusing National service, then they began, so subtlely, to wrap themselves and their twisted ideals in the very flag which they so openly detested. From their places in government and the church they have given a new and twisted sense of morality to the Flag. No more is it an ensign of a great nation and a people of moral strength and character. Today it is used as the cover of a land and a government which the likes of Washington, Jefferson, Patrick Henry and others would not recognize; in fact, these would more than likely cry out for a new American Revolution.

Rather than the “Resting Place” spoken of in Jeremiah 50:6 and II Samuel 7:10-11, the banner and ensign of America is now used as the protective covering for Mestizo aliens, Asian heathens, Muslim terrorists and other assorted criminals from around the world. The Viet-Cong and north Koreans have come in as a flood from their old communist strongholds in Asia. The latin/Mestizo bastards of Mexico, Central America and South America invade our borders daily, all seeking the dream of riches and becoming a burden upon the average  working citizen of this land. They come from every nook and cranny of the globe, from Haiti, Africa, Jamaica, the Middle East/Far East and near East, Mexico and Central America. They come and they keep on coming and a treacherous and traitorious U.S. government offers and gives them Asylum/Amnesty or what ever else they ask for. Yes, that Flag that we call “Old Glory” is just that. There is no New Glory in sight for her, for it no longer represents the people for whom it was intended. "GOD help America!"

It is probably time for the Anglo-Saxon Israel people of Yahweh to stop and realize that we must adopt a new banner, yet one that is not really new. The colors of the banner are to be found in Exodus 28:5-6, the white linen, the red and blue along with the gold and purple strand. These represent our very ancient Israelite people,that Race of the Elect of God in Christ in Old Testament history, and should now be re-applied to stand again today as the ensign of the Family of GOD. We as a people have always been one which marched to the beat of a different drummer than the alien and the heathen, and if the Hearldry of our Patriarch Fathers means anything at all to us, we must do so once again. Time is not on our side, and the limitations that mans government would place on us makes our every effort that much more laborious. As the Family of GOD in the earth we must see that we are also the physical army of GOD in the earth also. We as His people must prepare ourselves to serve Him and see that His Will is done. We must “Lift High His Royal Banner” and be committed to Him above all else...II Tim 1:12, the key word here brethern is "committed". From this day forward may we be guided only by the Will of our Father YAHWEH. From this day forward, may our committment be to the advancement and the establishment of His Kingdom in the earth.

I propose to you a "National Banner", not to replace the "National Flag" yet because of what it represents, but one to fly along side of the Red, White and Blue! This Banner of the  true Israel Nation Of GOD would have Three vertical fields of Color, Red, White and Blue. It’s border would be trim­med in Gold and topped off at the upper right hand corner with the Purple sash of Royalty. The symbols on the Flag would be a White Cross on the field of Red; the symbol of all twelve tribes of Israel encamped upon the field of White and the Golden Crown or Diadem upon the field of Blue. The Cross has been one of the main instruments of death for centuries, and is considered by Christiandom to be the last altar of sacrifice for “Blood Atonement.” This particular sacrifice which we link to the Cross was the spilling of the blood of Jesus Christ/Yahshua Messiah, for the redemption of a people called Israel... Isaiah 53:1-12. By virtue of the act of just how Jesus died on the Cross and the fact that He was resurrected and ascended into heaven makes the Cross less an instrument of death in the eye and mind of the believer and more a symbol of the promise of eternal life.

For almost 2,000-years the altar of the Cross has stood as a sign of that wondrous truth that YAHWEH/ELOHIM has redeemed His people. As it would be portrayed on the field of red in the National banner, the Cross reminds us that our redemption has been aquired by nothing more, nor anything less than the shed blood of Jesus Christ. That his blood, plus nothing, is our redemption and our Salvation. Our very Liberty has been purchased by the Lamb of GOD who was slain from before the foundation of the world, for just that purpose, I Peter 1:18-20 & II Timothy 1:8-9. The pastors in the world church say that it is up to the individual to either accept or reject Jesus. Timothy said that.. “He has saved us and called us according to His purpose and that Grace was given to us in Christ Jesus.” Are we really so caught up in "self" that we may for one single moment believe that we need to assist YAHWEH in the perfecting of our Salvation? If so, we would have to stand before the world and declare that YAHWEH is an impotent God because he needed our help to achieve that which is accomplished. Romans 8:29-30 tells us that God knew us before time and that He had already selected us to be conformed to the image of His Son. I Cor 2:7 speaks of the redeeming work of God, and the process where-by He selected some as Sons is the Wisdom of God in a mystery! And Paul writes in Ephesians 1:5 that it was done by YAHWEH for His own good pleasure and for no other reason. The Cross of White on that Field of Red serves as a strong reminder to the Elect of God in Christ Jesus of the doctrines of the Apostolic Faith. We call this and scripture bears us out, "the Faith which was once delivered to the Saints” and we hold it to be the only Faith or Gospel that is worthy to contend for and to defend, Jude 3.

As believers and professed followers of "Christ Jesus" and as "Christian Soldiers" of "Christ's Church Militant" in the earth we should and we must, if necessary, defend the Gospel of Christ and the Faith of our Fathers even unto death. If our Race ever loses sight of this truth, we would be lost in a sea of ungodly New Age Humanism. I Cor 6:19-20; As we look upon the National Banner we see on our left the White Cross on the Red Field which reminds us that truly we have been bought with a price. Jesus himself tells us of the reasoning behind such a price being paid in John 15:13-14.. The God/man Jesus followed His own teachings, yet the price paid does not denote the full strength of His words here. Some would have us believe that His words pertained only to those whom He was associated with at that time. John 17:20 sets the tone for a more far reaching friendship, to those who were not born yet but would hear the words of the Pastor/Teachers. The friendship of Jesus for His people was not limited in its scope to just that day, it has reached down to, and will extend through our time.

As we look to the center of the National Banner of our Race we gaze upon a field of Blue and the symbol of Royalty, the Golden Diadem/Crown of the Saviour-King, Jesus Christ. The thing that becomes so overwhelmingly true and evident is the fact that Christ Jesus is our King and He will rule over the Kingdom of God in the earth in spite of every evil and effort of His enemies; Isaiah 9:6-7 & Luke 1:31-33. When this reign is established it will mean that all, “ALL Law" originates within the Majesty of YAHWEH. His Throne is the Seat of Law, for He is the Mighty God-YAHWEH ELOHIM, the Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace. He and He alone will rule over all, from sea to shining sea and from the highest mountain peak down into the lowest valley. From North Pole to South Pole and even to the ends of the earth, the Law of YAHWEH will reign Supreme, and of His Kingdom there will be no end, Rev 11:15. Each and every present day kingdom, nation and rule will be placed beneath His Feet, I Cor 15:25, Eph 1:22, I Peter 3:22 Rev 5:12, Jere 23:5 and Daniel 7:14. Christ Jesus will reign in Majesty and Dominion and Glory and in a Kingdom, over His people. His Dominion will not pass away and His Kingdom will be FOREVER! All that there is or ever will be,will be under the Theocratic Rule of King Jesus. Luke, Isaiah and Zechariah told us that Jesus would take for His own the Throne of David and Paul mentions the same thing in Acts 2:22-30. Numbers 24:17 speaks to us of the coming King Jesus as a Star out of Jacob/Israel, he calls Him a Sceptre or King. In Jeremiah 23:5-6 & Zechariah 3:8 & 6:12-13 mention of Jesus is made as being the Righteous Branch, the one who will spring forth and build the Temple of YAHWEH, and Paul writes in I Corin 3:16 that we are the Temple of God and that the Spirit dwells in/with us. Revelations 4:11 & 5:12, Jesus Christ is that Lamb of God who was slain before the world was framed. He was and is Worthy to receive "All Power, Honour, Glory, Riches, Wisdom, Strength and Blessing" that is befitting to one who holds Kingship.

Upon each corner of the White field would appear one of the four symbols of encamped Israel (the whole 12-tribes), the face of the man, the face or head of the lion, the head of the Ox (bull) and the head of the eagle. These four symbols identify that seed out of Adams Race who were chosen in eternity, or pre-ordained, to be redeemed in time, for eternal Salvation. These are the Elect in Christ Jesus who come under the promise of YAHWEH to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. They are the same ones who were given the Royal Law Word of God at Mount Sinai. It is no wonder then that we find embossed upon the White field the Scrolls of Law and the Breast plate of the Levites, for just as surely as our Race received the law, we also were given the docrines of the Gospel of the Kingdom of YAHWEH. All of these signs and symbols found on the field of White are because the White represents Purity and YAHWEH demands Purity in the government, the worship and the Race which constitutes His Family in the earth.

Today, as we look back upon the history of our Race, we have to be able to note this one thing, the Royal Law of Yahweh and the doctrines of the Gospel are inseperable. Thus we must be given to understand that the Faith that was once delivered and the people to which it was given are also inseparable. Jeremiah 31:31-37, here we are told that Faith and Family walk together by the Grace and choice of YAHWEH-ELOHIM. It is by Divine decree that the genetic physical Seed of Israel,that DNA out of the Race of Adam, will receive the blessing of the Royal Law Word of Yahweh, engraved upon and into their hearts. This is what scripture says, this is what God says. The World church may promise the terms of this scripture and the promises contained there-in to some "who-so-ever-will hodge-podge of adulterated humanity" (check the meaning of that word adulterated in its purest form and you will find out that it refers to the impure) but it will never come to fruition. Yahweh says to you, The Word says to you and I say to you; “YAHWEH is our God and we are His people. This covenant of which Jeremiah writes is to last eternally, and eternity is impossible to measure. And in its vast expanse, it falls far beyond all human comprehension. Deem it enough to say right now that our people, the Israel people of the Bible will live forever under this covenant promise and under the National Banner of Yahweh, as we surely are the recipients of His Divine Grace.” What wonderous news for such a people as we are. By the majority of our actions and deeds we make of ourselves a non deserving people. Yet, in Grace, YAHWEH has spoken through the mouths of Prophets, Priests and Kings while lifting us up, for His Glory. Micah 5:7.. Our race is one that has been scattered among many others, and these others have prospered and gained in stature due to the influence and intelligence of the caucasian Israel people. When these nations have chosen to alienate themselves from the influence of the Israel race of God, they have stumbled and fallen. We must really bear this fact in mind, for it was not that they simply sepaated themselves from the rule of the elect, they denounced by their actions the truth of God’s creation Law and moral law, which the elect family of God tried to have them follow as best they could.

Any nation or country where you find the colors of the Royal banner, you will find the Israel people of God, and the opposite applies here also. Nations, People and Banners have come and gone, yet we have the promise from Yahweh that Israel will never cease to be a Nation before Him and that they would possess vast lands.. .1 Chronicles 17:3-15. Some say that the key to understanding here is that even at this time while Israel is in the Promised land, she will be moved to another land where she as a people will never be moved again. Some think this land to be the British commonwealth of nations, some say it is the United States of America, and some say that it will be the cleansed land of Promise that is now the habitat of the Jews. Which ever, it is the plan of YAHWEH and He knows best. Now, the key to understanding in that reading from I Chronicles is this, beginning in vs 11.."I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons, and I will establish His Kingdom (12)-He shall build me an House and I will stablish His Throne forever.” This is in reference to none other than King Jesus who will raise up the Church/the body of believers and establish the Kingdom of God in the earth forever, and in that Kingdom He will take the Throne and Reign  Forever! There will always be some who say that nothing lasts forever, and I must agree with them in this sense, “nothing does", but "something Will". Psalm 2: no-thing does, no-power may, no-one can, no one will, rend this Kingdom from the Hands of The Christ of YAHWEH. It is His right to rule and reign forever and that is exactly what He will do.

Isaiah 26:12-21, the alien has gained rule over us and there must come to the fore-front of our people a Spiritual awakening. I am not speaking of a tent revival complete with the psycho-babble of speaking in tongues or the phony healing of psuedo sick-o’s. The children of GOD must fall down upon their knees and seek the face of YAHWEH-ELOHIM. We must lie on our faces in the dust of the earth which bears our sins of attrition. YAHWEH will rid our land of the alien and heathen when we, truly seek His will for our lives. He will come out of His Place, under His Royal Banner, and punish the inhabitants of the earth for their sins and the evil which they have caused. Isa 27:1 says that Yahweh will slay that old dragon that is in the sea, or He will rid the earth of Satan and banish him forever from walking among His people (the sea). In vs 6 of that 27th chapter we can take comfort in the promised safety and growth of our people in the earth, and we can take heart in the promises of Isaiah 43:18-20; Praise Yahweh, that He has formed a people for Himself. The greatest mystery to any Christian is this, “What did we do to deserve the gifts and the good pleasure that Yahweh has given to us?” and the answer is “NOTHING.” Read Zechariah 10:6-12 and tell the world that you deserve this because of something which you or I have done. Yahweh rejoices in us and causes our heart to rejoice in Him. He calls us and redeems us and gathers us and increases us. He takes us out of the ways of the world and teaches us His way, He has delivered us from the slavery of Egypt and the warrior hordes of Assyria He has given us a great land to live in and has allowed us to accumulate wealth that makes us the envy of all nations. Now it is time for us to become that which He has long planned. We have too long lived in the flesh We must now turn to Him and as Paul said in Romans 8:15, receive the Spirit of Adoption(be placed in Sonship) and cry out to YAHWEH, “ABBA/­FATHER.” We will find truth in the 16th vs of that 8th chapter for when the Holy Spirit bears witness to us, we know for certain that we are a child of God.

So in closing I say to you who are the Children of YAHWEH, the One True and Ever living God; Take honor and pride with you as you walk in the land which God has given. Know your enemy and that he is the enemy of Yahweh your God. Hate the evil that is in the land and drive him from your midst. “LIFT HIGH THE ROYAL BANNER of YAHWEH” relish in the fact that as citizens of the coming Kingdom of God in the earth that you are a part of the Church Militant and God’s conquering Army in the earth “LIFT HIGH HIS ROYAL BANNER” and be prepared as Soldiers of Christ to take either the sword of steel or the two edged sword of scriptural truth in the battle against His enemies. “LIFT HIGH HIS ROYAL BANNER” and keep your soldiers ransom paid in full, always committed to the truth not just as a nation, but as a nation of people of kindred spirit who will hold forth in the earth until JESUS CHRIST returns in complete Triumph over that Mother of Harlots and Abominations. “LIFT HIGH HIS ROYAL BANNER, IT MUST NOT SUFFER LOSS,” for Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Heed the Word of Yahweh, and when the enemy comes against us like a flood, know that the Spirit of God will lift up a Standard against him. Yahweh will show wonders in the heavens and upon the earth and he will pour out His Spirit on those who march under His Royal Banner.
