This is in process
The KOG Alliance embraces the whole Bible (Genesis – Revelation), including union with the God of the Bible through Jesus / Yeshua, the Anointed One / Christ, as the Messiah (Matthew 19:28; 25:31). We see Jesus / Yeshua the Messiah as our Master / Lord.
We believe that God is in the process of calling out a people, chosen by Him, to represent Him in these days. They / we are referred to in various ways throughout the Bible, including BIBLICAL “Israel” (Not the geopolitical body that goes by that name), “The Remnant”, “One New Man”, and the “Ecclesia”.
While extrabiblical writings have their place, we believe that the Holy Bible is based upon the Pentateuch, also known as the Torah, and that it was verbally inspired (II Timothy 3:16-17) as the product of Spirit-inspired men (II Peter 1:19-21). We believe words given by God are the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and opinions shall be tried (Jude 1:3).
Of Angels
Angels are created (Colossians 1:16; Psalm 148:5), spirit-beings of various rank and order. This company of everlasting beings is supernatural in intelligence and strength. They were created holy and good (Genesis 1:31), but due to sin many fell from their holy state and are now confirmed in wickedness (Isaiah 14; Ezekiel 28). Those who preserved their integrity are God’s messengers (Hebrews 1:14), whereas the fallen angels execute satan’s desires in hindering God’s work and afflicting God’s people.
satan and his demons
The satan (aka the devil, adversary, and other names) is the enemy of God’s creation, including all things good. As Yahweh God is the giver of life, the satan is the author of death and works feverishly to destroy everyone and everything good that he can. He brings death, destruction, disease, pain, hurt, and all things evil. We believe in the distinct personality of the satan (Matthew 4:1-3), that he is the unholy god of this world (II Corinthians 4:4), author of all powers of darkness and sin, that Yeshua defeated him, and that God’s people are empowered by God to take authority over evil as led by the Spirit of God. Ultimately the satan is destined to the judgment of an eternal justice in the lake of fire (Revelations 20:10).
Of the Creation
We believe that God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1-2), including all life (Colossians 1:16-17); John 1:3), “each after its own kind” (Genesis 1:24), by direct act, and not by the process of evolution (Psalm 33:6).
Of Man
We believe that man in the person of the first Adam, was created in innocence but by voluntary transgression fell into sin (Genesis 3), seperating from God, thus plunging the whole race into condemnation (Romans 5:12) and depravity (Ephesians 2:1). Consequently, all men are born into sin / imperfection. Thus having knowledge of their sin and the manifestation of the power of God, mankind is now without excuse before God (Romans 1:18-2:1). Apart from God’s work of grace all would be living in depravity and on their way to eternal torment (Revelation 20:15). Through the Gospel of the Messiah, all have the opportunity to pass from death to eternal life (John 10:28-29; Romans 8:29-39).
Healing
Yeshua came to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8), which is destruction up to and including death, and to bring “life” to a fallen world (John 14:6). That eternal “life” is available to all upon entering into covenant with God. While we acknowledge that, for reasons we don’t fully understand, some receive healing and others don’t, we also acknowledge that Yeshua went about healing all *Acts 10:38), that He wants everyone to walk in the fulness of life (John 14:6), and that he left instructions for us to do as He did so that His people could experience life as He had it (Mark 16:16-18).
Israel
The political body currently occupying the land known as Israel in the Middle East is not what we are referring to on this website as “Israel” unless specifically identified as such. We want to stress that we are not “antiJewish” in any way. However, the current Jewish political body that refers to itself as Israel, cultural Judaism, and the Jewish religion is all distinctly separate from the “One New Man” of “Biblical Israel” that is referenced in the Bible.
We consider Biblical Israel to be all people of Yeshua (Luke 1:68, Gal. 6:16), including all of the twelve tribes (Gen. 49, Rev.21:12) that embrace Yeshua as the Messiah and the God of the Bible, regardless of color, “nationality”, or where they currently reside. In accordance with the Prophets, Yeshua, and the Apostles, eventually the “One New Man” of “Biblical Israel” will return to the covenant land of Israel (Gen. 15-17) but that has not happened yet.
Appointed Times / Biblical Holydays / Feasts
We are not, nor ever have been, associated with the SDA, WWCG, British Israel, or other such groups. Neither do we accept what is commonly referred to as “replacement theology”. With some exceptions, we ignore most American holidays, which mostly have pagan roots and manifestations. Instead, we embrace the Biblical holidays. The Bible reveals that these are not “Jewish” holidays. Rather, they are identified as “The Lord’s” for all of God’s people to celebrate “forever”; see Leviticus 23. The covenantal agreement between the God of the Bible and His people has changed since the “feast days” / “Appointed Times” were first initiated. Still, there is great value in their meaning. They all offer prophetic insight. Some of them represent what Yeshua has already accomplished, while others point to future fulfillment.
Civil Government
We are not antigovernment. We believe that the concept of civil government was created to be beneficial and good, representing the interests, well-being, and good order of human society. This consists of absolute constraint of the government to the civil realm, not interfering or influencing in the spiritual realm of the Israel of God. Those in leadership are to be prayed for, conscientiously honored, and obeyed (Matthew 22:21); except in things opposed to the God of the Bible including the will of our Master Yeshua Messiah (Acts 5:29; 4:19-20), who is the only Master of the conscience, the King of Kings, and the coming Prince.
