The Bird Is the Word of God

This is the companion piece to The Shiller PE Ratio Is Drawing the Three Towers. Yesterday we showed you what is coming. Today we show you who is coming — and in what order.

You have probably heard the phrase before. The bird is the word. You may have heard it as a joke, a song lyric, a throwaway line. But like most things the world laughs at, it is rooted in something the world does not understand.

The bird is the Word of God. And it is found in Isaiah 46:11.

But to understand what AO is saying in verse 11, you must hear what He says directly before it. You cannot rip a verse out of the mouth of the Most High and ignore the breath that precedes it. So we start where He starts.

The Setup — Isaiah 46:9-10

9 Remember the former things of old, for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like Me,

10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, "My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure."

Read that again. Slowly.

AO is not asking a question. He is making a declaration. He is telling you who He is, and He is telling you how to identify Him — He tells the end from the beginning. Everything He has purposed, He will do. Everything He has spoken, He will bring to pass.

And then — immediately — He tells you what He has spoken.

The Verse — Isaiah 46:11

Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executes My counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.

There are two figures in this verse. Not one. Two.

(1) A ravenous bird from the east.

(2) The man who executes the counsel of the Most High from a far country.

The world — both Christianity and the rabbinical tradition — collapses these two into one. Some say the "ravenous bird" is Cyrus of Persia. Some say it is a metaphor for a military conqueror. Some say it is just poetic language and means nothing specific at all.

All of them are wrong. And here is how you know.

---

"My Counsel Shall Stand"

Look at verse 10 one more time.

My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure.

What does "My counsel shall stand" actually mean?

The Hebrew word here for "stand" carries the weight of rising — of arising, of being established. AO is saying His Word — His spoken purpose — shall arise. It shall stand up. It shall come to life.

And what is His counsel? Look at the next verse. His counsel is the two figures He names — the bird and the man. They are His Word made manifest. They are the fulfillment of everything He declared from the beginning.

So who are they?

---

The Man Who Executes His Counsel — The Messiah

The second figure is the easier one to identify. The man who executes the counsel of the Most High from a far country is the Messiah — David the King.

This is not a guess. The scripture names Him over and over again.

Deuteronomy 18:18 — "I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto Moses, and will put My words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him."

The word "raise up" here is the Hebrew qum (H6965) — the same word used throughout scripture to describe resurrection from the dead. We will return to this.

Isaiah 9:6 — "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called the Prince of Peace, Wonderful Counsellor of the mighty God, the everlasting Father."

Isaiah 11:1-4 — And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: And the spirit of AO shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of AO.

Notice — the spirit of counsel. This is the man who executes the counsel of the Most High.

Isaiah 42:1-4 — Behold My servant, whom I uphold; Mine elect, in whom My soul delights; I have put My spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the nations.

Psalm 2:6-9 — Yet have I set My king upon My holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: AO has said unto me, "You are My Son; this day have I begotten you."

Psalm 40:7-8 — Then said I, "Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, I delight to do Your will, O my God: yea, Your law is within my heart."

This is not JC. This is David. The king who built the first temple. The king whose throne is eternal (Jeremiah 33:17). The king who is dead (1 Kings 2:10) and must therefore be resurrected for the Word of AO to be fulfilled.

---

So Who Comes Before the Messiah?

If the man who executes the counsel is the Messiah, then the ravenous bird from the east must be someone else. Someone who comes first.

AO names them in order. The bird. Then the man. There is a sequence here.

And the scripture tells us exactly who comes before the Messiah.

5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of AO: >

6 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. — Malachi 4:5-6

The prophet Elijah comes first. Not John the Baptist Bastard — who denied being Elijah when asked directly (John 1:21). Not a "spirit of Elijah." Not a metaphor. Elijah the prophet. The same man who was taken up to heaven and never died.

And why does he come first? To turn the hearts of the children back to the Father. Before AO smites the earth with a curse.

---

Does Elijah Have Experience in This Task?

Yes. He does.

17 And it came to pass after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so sore, that there was no breath left in him...

21 And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto AO, and said, "O AO my God, I pray Thee, let this child's soul come into him again."

22 And AO heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived. — 1 Kings 17:17-22

Elijah has raised the dead before.

And notice what happens when the boy is raised. Look at what the mother says in verse 24:

Now by this I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of AO in your mouth is truth. — 1 Kings 17:24

Her heart was turned. By the resurrection of her son, the mother's heart was turned back to AO. This is precisely what Malachi 4:6 says Elijah will do when he returns. Turn the hearts of the children back to the fathers. Turn the hearts back to AO.

How? By raising the dead. By raising the Messiah — David — from the grave and reminding every stiff-necked and rebellious Israelite on earth that the Word of AO is truth.

---

The Firstborn from the Dead

This is the salvation of the Most High.

The Messiah is called AO's firstborn. Not the first person to ever be born. And how can a man be born again?

The first to be raised from the first death to eternal life. The firstborn from the dead.

This is AO's promise. This is His counsel that shall stand. David the Messiah will be the first human being to experience the resurrection — the permanent defeat of death — and by this act, all of Israel will know that the Word of AO is true.

The prophet Elijah comes first to perform this act. The raven goes before the dove (Genesis 8:7-8). Elijah is the raven — the ravenous bird from the east (Isaiah 46:11). David is the dove — "the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land" (Song of Solomon David 2:12).

Ecclesiastes 12:4 — The Proof Text

For those who have asked for the verse — book, chapter, and verse — here it is.

Ecclesiastes 12:4 — And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of music shall be brought low.

He shall rise up at the voice of the bird.

The Hebrew word for "rise up" here is qum — Strong's H6965. The same word used in:

Deuteronomy 18:15 — "AO your God will raise up unto you a Prophet..."

Deuteronomy 18:18 — "I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto Moses, and will put My words in his mouth."

Jeremiah 30:9 — "But they shall serve AO their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them."

Isaiah 26:19 — "Your dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise."

Isaiah 46:10 — "Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure."

Song of Solomon David 2:10 — "Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away."

Song of Solomon David 2:13 — "Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away."

Amos 9:11 — "In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old."

Ezekiel 34:29 — "And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more."

Numbers 24:17 — "There shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel."

Every single one of these is qum. Every single one points to resurrection. And in Ecclesiastes 12:4, the one who rises up does so at the voice of the bird.

The bird calls. The man rises.

Elijah calls. David rises.

The bird is the Word of God.

The Direction of the Light

Now circle back to September 10, 2024.

A light appeared in the heavens over the eastern United States. It was explained away as a SpaceX launch — the first in history to be seen across the entire East Coast from a Florida launch site. The newscasters themselves admitted on air that this was unprecedented. They could not explain why a launch from Cape Canaveral was visible over Washington, D.C.

That light was heading west. From the east, heading west.

Isaiah 46:11 says the ravenous bird comes from the east.

So where does the Messiah come from?

Isaiah 59:19 — So shall they fear the name of AO from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of AO shall lift up a standard against him.

From the west.

The bird comes from the east. The man comes from the west. They are not the same. They never were.

The light came from the east heading west — carrying the bird to the land where the man would rise.

Watch closely. The light appears out of nowhere, moves from east to west — descending toward the earth. As the cloud dissipates, something very clearly continues heading down. Not up, like a rocket. Down. Toward the promised land.

What the World Teaches vs. What God Says

The world teaches that Isaiah 46:11 is about Cyrus of Persia — a pagan king summoned by God to free the Jews from Babylon. This is the same deception we exposed in Cyrus the Great Deception. They have taken every messianic prophecy and handed it to a foreigner to keep you from seeing David.

The world teaches that Elijah already came as John the Baptist Bastard. But John himself denied it (John 1:21). And the hearts of the children have not been turned. Israel is still scattered. The curse — the final plagues — has not yet come. But it is coming. And Malachi 4:5 was fulfilled on September 10, 2024, when the ravenous bird arrived from the east.

The world teaches that the Messiah already came as JC two thousand years ago. But David's throne is not established. Israel is not gathered. The temple is not built. The Second Exodus has not happened. None of it has been fulfilled.

AO said His counsel shall stand. His counsel has not yet stood. It is about to.

The Order of Operations

The Torah tells the end from the beginning. The raven goes out first (Genesis 8:7). Then the dove (Genesis 8:8).

Malachi tells us Elijah comes before the great and dreadful day.

Isaiah 46:11 names the bird first, then the man.

Ecclesiastes 12:4 says he rises at the voice of the bird — the bird must already be present and calling.

1 Kings 17 shows us Elijah has the experience. He has raised the dead before. And when he did, the mother's heart turned back to AO.

This is the pattern. This is the order. This is what AO declared from the beginning.

The bird comes first. The bird calls. The man rises. The counsel stands. The Word is fulfilled.

The bird is the Word of God.

What else does AO say will occur before the great and dreadful day? The moon will be turned into blood. More on that tomorrow.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the ravenous bird in Isaiah 46:11 mean? Isaiah 46:11 names two distinct figures: a ravenous bird from the east and the man who executes the counsel of the Most High. Traditional scholarship collapses these into one figure — usually Cyrus of Persia. But the verse separates them with a comma and lists them in sequence. The bird is the prophet Elijah, who comes first. The man is David the Messiah, who follows.

Who is the man that executes God's counsel in Isaiah 46:11? The man who executes the counsel of the Most High is the Messiah — David the King. Multiple prophecies identify him: Deuteronomy 18:15-18 (a prophet like Moses), Isaiah 9:6 (the Prince of Peace), Isaiah 11:1-4 (the Branch with the spirit of counsel), Isaiah 42:1-4 (the servant who brings judgment), Psalm 2:6-9 (the anointed King), and Psalm 40:7-8 (the one written of in the scroll). Jeremiah 30:9 names him explicitly as "David their king."

What does "my counsel shall stand" mean in Isaiah 46:10? In context, AO is declaring that everything He has purposed will be fulfilled. Immediately after making this statement, He names the two figures — the bird and the man — who embody that fulfillment. His counsel "standing" carries the weight of arising, being established, and coming to pass — the same resurrection language (qum) used throughout the prophets.

What is the connection between Elijah and the resurrection of the Messiah? Malachi 4:5-6 says Elijah comes before the great and dreadful day to turn the hearts of the children back to the fathers. In 1 Kings 17:17-24, Elijah raises a child from the dead, and the mother's heart is turned back to AO. Ecclesiastes 12:4 says "he shall rise up at the voice of the bird" — using the Hebrew word qum, the same word used for resurrection in Isaiah 26:19 and Jeremiah 30:9. The pattern is consistent: Elijah calls, the Messiah rises.

Did Elijah already come as John the Baptist? No. When asked directly if he was Elijah, John denied it (John 1:21). Furthermore, Malachi 4:5-6 says Elijah's mission is to turn the hearts of the children back to the fathers before AO smites the earth with a curse. Israel remains scattered and disobedient. The curse has not been lifted. The hearts have not been turned. Elijah's return as described in Malachi has not yet occurred.

What does Ecclesiastes 12:4 mean — "he shall rise up at the voice of the bird"? The Hebrew word for "rise up" is qum (H6965), the same word used for bodily resurrection in Isaiah 26:19, for David being raised in Jeremiah 30:9, and for the prophet like Moses in Deuteronomy 18:15. In Ecclesiastes 12:4, someone rises at the voice of a bird — connecting directly to Isaiah 46:11 where the bird comes from the east before the man who executes AO's counsel. The bird calls. The man rises.

Where does the Messiah come from — east or west? Isaiah 46:11 says the ravenous bird comes from the east. Isaiah 59:19 says they shall fear the name of AO from the west. These are two different figures arriving from two different directions. The bird — Elijah — comes from the east. The Messiah — David — is in the west. The light seen on September 10, 2024, traveled from east to west, consistent with this pattern.

What is the connection between the raven and the dove in Genesis 8? In Genesis 8:7-8, Noah sends out the raven first, then the dove. This is the same order established in Isaiah 46:11 — the bird comes before the man. Elijah is the raven, the ravenous bird from the east. David is the dove — Song of David 2:12 says "the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land." The Torah tells the end from the beginning. The raven goes out first. Then the dove.

What does "born again" mean in the Bible? The Messiah is called AO's firstborn — not the first person to ever be born, but the first to be raised from the first death to eternal life. Being "born again" is resurrection from death, not a spiritual conversion. The Hebrew word qum (H6965) is used throughout the prophets for this rising — in Jeremiah 30:9, Isaiah 26:19, Ecclesiastes 12:4, and eleven other verses. The firstborn from the dead is David the Messiah, raised by the prophet Elijah.

What happens before the great and dreadful day of the Lord? Malachi 4:5-6 says Elijah the prophet will be sent before the great and dreadful day to turn the hearts of the children back to the fathers. Joel 2:31 says the moon will be turned into blood before that day comes. Isaiah 46:11 names the ravenous bird — Elijah — who arrives from the east before the man who executes AO's counsel. These events are sequential: the bird comes, the man rises, the moon turns to blood, and the day arrives.
