Kingdom of God and restore the truth to all nations.

First Sign from God: Trees and Rivers and Streams

God revealed to Keith the restoration of the truth will
spread from a land abundant with trees and flowing rivers and
streams of water. It will begin at the root of evangelization from the
East, where the people's faith is unwavering. This will be the land
where the blood of the martyrs flows like water, providing
nourishment to everything it encounters. The Gospel will spread far
and wide to renew our spirit and bear good fruit. The best
illustration to comprehend this divine message is from the
teachings found in the BFG Handbook. Therefore, Keith presented
Bishop Kevin W. Vann with his BFG Handbook as the first sign
from God.

It was planted in good soil beside abundant waters, so that
it would produce branches and bear fruit, and become a splendid
vine. ~ Ezekiel 17:8

But He said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear
the word of God and observe it.” ~ Luke 11:28

The landscape serves as a representation of how the
teachings in the BFG Handbook emphasize the importance of
spiritual renewal, allowing us to be nourished by the Word of God,
like the rivers and streams that nourish the trees to bear good fruit.
