The Lord had be look up some of the provinces names and their meanings:

 

NewFoundland and Labrador: King Henry VII of England referred to the land discovered by John Cabot in 1497 as the “New Found Launde.”  It’s likely that the name Labrador came from Joas Fernandez, the Azorean known as “El llavorador”, an explorer on the Corte-Real’s expedition in 1500. The area of Labrador includes all the northern islands in the region. The province officially became Newfoundland and Labrador in December 2001 when an amendment was made to the Constitution of Canada.

 

Meaning and Origins of Labrador: There are many theories as to the origins of the word “Labrador”. One,it may be a reference to the name of “landholder” and is a reference to 15th century Portugeuse explorer João Fernandes, called Llavrador, who was a landholder in the Azores and had sailed as far as Iceland and Greenland. Or another theory according to W.F. Ganong , is that "it was originally 'Terra Laboratoris,' land of the laborer because Cortereal brought fifty men thence to Europe, who were described as well fitted for slaves. This is sustained by all the evidence of old maps." Gasper Cortereal was a Portuguese navigator who explored the coast for the Portuguese crown in 1500 and brought home captives. He returned for more in 1501, but was never heard from again.(Reference: https://www.etymonline.com/word/labrador)

 

Nova Scotia: Nova Scotia is Latin for “New Scotland”. The province was named by Sir William Alexander who was given the land by King James VI of Scotland in 1621. Prior to its official naming, the First Nations knew it as “Mi’kma’ki”, the French called it “Acadia”, and the British were already familiar with calling the land “New Scotland”.

 

Meaning and Origins of Mi’kma’ki: Also Mi’kmaq refers to the First Nations people who were some of the first to reside in the Atlantic provinces. The etymology of the term “Mi’kmaq” varies amongst scholars. Mi’kmaq may translate roughly to mean “Red Earth People, or People of the Red Earth”. Others suggest its origin in nigumaach, which means "my brother" or "my friend", or a term of endearment. (Refer to Marion Robertson’s book Red Earth: Tales of the Mi'kmaq 1960s)

 

Meaning and Origins of Acadia: The origin of the designation Acadia is credited to the explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano, who on his 16th century map applied the ancient Greek name "Arcadia" to the entire Atlantic coast north of Virginia (note the inclusion of the 'r' of the original Greek name). "Arcadia" derives from the Arcadia district in Greece which since Classical antiquity had the extended meanings of "refuge" or "idyllic place". The Dictionary of Canadian Biography says: "Arcadia, the name Verrazzano gave to Maryland or Virginia 'on account of the beauty of the trees,' made its first cartographical appearance in the 1548 Gastaldo map and is the only name on that map to survive in Canadian usage. . . . In the 17th century Champlain fixed its present orthography, with the 'r' omitted, and Ganong has shown its gradual progress northeastwards, in a succession of maps, to its resting place in the Atlantic Provinces."

New Brunswick: This province was originally included in the area that made up Nova Scotia. It was later separated and established as a province in 1784. The name “New Brunswick” was given to the area in honour of King George III who also held the title of Duke of Brunswick, an area in Germany.

 

Meaning and Origins of Brunswick: A reference to "town and former imperial province of northern Germany. It is the Anglicization of German Braunschweig which literally means "Bruno's settlement”. Together you have Bruno + the Old Saxon wik which means "village," which is from Latin. Bruno: is a masculine proper name, from Old High German Bruno, literally "brown". (Reference: https://www.etymonline.com/word/brunswick)

 

 

Prince Edward Island: The province’s earliest documented name was “Abeqweit” which was given to the area by the Mi’kmaq and meant “cradled in the waves”. It later became Ile Saint-Jean which was used by the original French settlers, the Acadians. After the Treaty of Paris ceded the island to the British in 1763, it was renamed St. John’s Island. In 1799 the English declared that the island would be called Prince Edward Island in honour of the Duke of Kent and Strathearn, Prince Edward.

 

Meaning and Origins of Edward: Edward is an English given name. It is derived from Old English words ead, meaning 'wealth', 'fortune' or 'prosperous' and wear, meaning 'guardian' or 'protector'.

 

Quebec: The name “Quebec” comes from the Algonquin word for “narrow passage” or “strait”. It was first used to describe the narrowing of the St. Lawrence River near what is now the City of Québec. Quebec has had several names throughout its history: Canada, New France, Lower Canada and Canada East. 

 

Ontario: Iroquois word “kanadario” which translates to “sparkling” water. Earliest recording of the name Ontario was in 1641. Can also mean “beautiful lake”, “beautiful water” after all there are over 250,000 lakes in Ontario.

 

Manitoba: Believed to have originated from the Cree term “Man-into-wahpoaw”, meaning “the narrows of the Great Spirit”. Describes Lake Manitoba and how it narrows significantly at the center.

 

Saskatchewan: Cree name for the Saskatchewan River, “kisiskatchewonisipi” or “swift-flowing river”.

 

Alberta: This province was named after Queen Victoria’s fourth daughter, Princess Louise Caroline Alberta. Alberta was originally established as a provisional district of the North West Territories in 1882. The name was maintained when Alberta officially became a province in 1905. From Old German Adalbert meaning “noble” and “bright” or “intelligent” and “noble”.

 

British Columbia: The southern part of the area now known as British Columbia was called “Columbia”, after the Columbia River. The central region was given the name of “New Caledonia” by explorer Simon Fraser. To avoid confusion with Colombia in South America and the island of New Caledonia in the Pacific Ocean, Queen Victoria named the area British Columbia when it became a colony in 1858.

 

Meaning and Origin of Columbia: Columbia is often a reference to the poetic name for the United States of America and earlier British colonies around the 1730’s. Columbia derives from Christopher Columbus, the Italian explorer who accidentally discovered the Americas. His native Italian name Cristoforo Colombo or in Spanish Cristóbal Colón. The Colombo or Colón are popular surnames and they translate to “dove”. The surname reflects that of an occupation of someone who raised and sold  doves.

Nunavut: In the Inuit language of Inuktitut, Nunavut means “our land”. Nunavut became Canada’s third territory when it was officially separated from the Northwest Territories in 1999.

 

Northwest Territories: Prior to 1870, it was known as the North-Western Territory. The name has always been a description of the location of the territory.

 

Yukon: The territory’s name probably comes from the word “Yu-kun-ah” meaning “great river.” In 1846, chief trader John Bell of the Hudson’s Bay Company canoed down the Porcupine River to where it meets the Yukon River. There, he met natives who told him that the name of the big river was the “youcon”. It was named “Yukon Territory” in 1898, and became “Yukon” under the Yukon Act in 2003.

The Word of the Lord as received: 

To My nation Canada, My loyal and unwavering people. I say to you, be of good cheer! For I, El-Shaddai, have overcome the world. I have come to carry this nation into a new season, into a New Age and into a New Beginning. Much has been accomplished, much will continue to unravel but I say to My Children, My Little Ones, do not lose hope. Do not grow faint or weary. I say to you, lay and rest your heads on My Lap. Lay your cares and burdens on Me. For I go before you all and make your paths straight. I urge you all for the next little while to turn off the TV, stay-off the phones and reconnect with Me. Tune into Me. Enough looking, enough searching, turn off the distractions and come. Come and know Me better Children. Come and sit with Me, come and be near Me.

Ask Me to take a drive with you. Ask Me to sit and have lunch with you. Ask Me and I will be there. For My Children are weary and battle-worn or distracted into nervous and shaky warriors. I AM calling a time-out and commissioning all of you to set the newspaper down, turn off the devices and open the Bible. Chat with Me, get to Who I AM. For I say to you, there are many who know of Me but they do not know Me. So, I tell you to come and know Me better. Come and bask in My Presence. Let Me be the Father that I AM towards you. For you are precious to Me. You are the apple of My Eye and I want nothing more than to spend time with My Children.

They have begun a great commission and investigation but little do they know that I have taken My Seat over such matters. I will get to the bottom of it! I will reveal the hidden dealings and lies and I will rectify and elevate the Convoy, My pole-bearers. With the snap of My Fingers I will call in ALL the mountains of evidence they have tried to hide. Oh, they will try to cover, lie and grease wheels but it shall fail.

Trudeau, the clock has struck and your time is up. You will be escorted off the premises and you, along with all of your cronies of circus actors will be removed. I shall not have to lift a finger. I will simply point to the trail of breadcrumbs that you so arrogantly have left for all to see. Your pride and arrogance has so blinded you. It shall be the only thing left to your name if you and your followers do not repent now. 

Alberta the province of the ram. You have toiled and wandered into the dry places for so long. Watch and be wary of whose voice you follow. For you have been led astray into a mud pit and you have struggled and strived of your own accord only to sink deeper and deeper into the mud. The mud clings to you. It covers your white coat. You snort, kick and struggle in a panic sinking lower and lower into despair. In your struggle one of your horns has cracked. If you continue to move recklessly and violently this horn shall break. 

I say to you Alberta, a kingdom divided against itself shall not stand. The same goes with a province.

How will a ram defend itself against another with one horn. Surely, the one with two who is strong and not tired shall lock heads with you and turn you over only to trample you. 

But I say to you, My Alberta, stop struggling and striving of your own accord. Still yourself and call out to Me. I AM the Good Shepherd and I have come. I will wade through the muck and mire. I will go down to the cesspit and I will pull you out but you cannot keep violently moving and thrashing. Through humility and still hearts I can come and pull you out. I will wash over you, mighty ram. Your coat will be as white as snow and I will set you back in your rightful place. For where should a mountain goat go but on the highest peak of a mountain? Yes, I shall set you on high, to see from a high vantage point and then you shall thrive. I will be with you but be wary of whose voice you follow. 

Ontario, the place of sparkling and beautiful waters, who has so congested you? Who has backlogged and stifled the rivers that should flow mighty and strong? I say to you WAKE UP! I AM waking up these sleeping people who have been blind and deaf to goodness and My Ways! I say to you, AWAKE, OH WATERS! AWAKE, OH ONTARIO! Enough playing in the muck and mire! Enough mud-slinging, backbiting and rebuking. I AM cleaning up and sifting through these muddy waters. I AM WAKING YOU UP!

I have exposed you time and time again. I have shown you what they are doing to the children, your children, these precious Little Ones. It is time to stand on guard for them! Yes! Parents this is no time to be silent or to cower and hide. This is no time to turn a blind eye. For the enemy has set his sights on the Little Ones and tries to cause offense by stealing their innocence and enslaving them to perversity. INNOCENCE IS OF THE KINGDOM! I VALUE IT AS I DO RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HOLINESS! DO NOT LET THEM OFFEND YOUR LITTLE ONES! DO NOT! DO NOT! DO NOT! 

Parents, I have shown you their devious plans. I have exposed and set off the alarm bells. Now it is the time to act. Now is the time to speak! Faith without action is dead. So I AM calling upon the parents to stand, to speak, to vote, to write and to do what is right. Not for your sakes but for the Little Ones! 

I have fractured the school system and I AM breaking them down. I shall grind up their schemes so they are no more than dust. A dust to be carried off by the Wind. Parents do not stand idly by. You know Me by My Voice and another you will not follow. So I say to you, follow Me and I will guide you. For My Rod and Staff shall comfort you.

To the Eastern provinces. My Royal islands and land near the ocean. You have been a ship lost out at sea. The storm has come upon you unexpectedly. The waters rage and winds blow tossing you about.The ship appears to be sinking, lost and damaged. But I have come and I have spoken to the waves and the wind and they obey. I say to the storm, Peace, be still!

You, oh Eastern provinces, have severed the link in the chain that tied you to the anchor, the anchor of Hope. The anchor of MY Son in Whom I AM well pleased. Your ship was then enticed to come out to sea and as you ventured further and further you could no longer see land or the lighthouse. Then a storm came upon you and beat on the ship violently. Some of the passengers cried out to Me and I heeded the call. Now I have come to call in the ship . I have come to call you back into your rightful place and home.

Many have been lost out at sea. Many thought it best to sever the link and wander away but lo, it has not been well for you. So, We have come to tether you to Us again. We put out a call for you. Heaven’s Coast Guard has locked you in and we are coming in for a rescue operation. We shall tether you to our boat and tug you back to shore. We shall repair and restore any damages that were caused and we will make you new. We have heard the distress call and we have come to save you. Holy Spirit is excited and shall blow fresh Wind in your sails. With Him at your back and Me at the helm and My Son the anchor, there shall be no wave strong enough, no wave big enough and no wave fierce enough to overcome the ship.

For My Eastern provinces are dear to Me. They are a Royal People with hearts calling out to Me. The harvest is ripe and the reapers are being called in.

There is much talk, grumbling and griping amongst the people. They are beyond restless as they toil only for their rewards to be stolen. The people are seething, hurting, and are ready to lash out. Violence fills their thoughts while resentment coaches them. The fear of not enough haunts them all-the-day long. The people are hurting. They have been bruised, battered and beaten but in such direness the Hope of Glory arises. For in their distress I extend My Hand to them. In their brokenness I want to move. And I shall move upon the people through My Kingdom Carriers! 

There has been much evil in My Sight. These evil ones continue to blaspheme My Name and lie to the people. They say the earth, MY EARTH, is not sustainable. But in Truth it is not sustainable for them. In their sin and evil, the Earth will not respond but instead curse. It will not yield, it will not move and it is cut off from them.

MY EARTH IS MORE THAN SUSTAINABLE! MY EARTH IS MORE THAN ABLE! For I AM calling in another boom. I AM calling in another influx of babies to be born. The enemy so hates precious new lives to be born and so he schemes and scurries around trying to devour but it shall not work. I say to the young women and the older, widen your tents, prepare the nursery for children. MANY, MANY children are coming to this Earth. To the barren ones, the ones who have struggled and the ones who have lost Hope. I say to you, your wombs shall be restored and made open. By the Power of the Living God, El-Shaddai, I break infertility, barrenness and any afflictions upon you and your family! In the Mighty Name of Yeshua, Salvation is here! Prepare! Prepare! For Heaven stirs with excitement as another Baby Boom approaches.

Through My Children, through My Glory, the Earth shall yield. It will prosper. It will bless and yield much. I have visited many in the night. I have shared ideas, formulas, inventions and new resources. This Earth has many secrets and many shall be revealed but I AM making it so that it will be shared and benefitted by ALL and not a few! 

My People rejoice! Rejoice for you have the victory! You have been saved and I AM restoring to you all that was lost. Do not worry. Do not be afraid. Ask for courage and boldness. Ask to spend time with Me. For the time is coming shortly where it will be all hands on deck.

Blessed is the Lord God over Heaven and Earth. Blessed is He Who extends His Hand and lifts us up on high. We call on you. We rest in you. Father, lead us to still waters and green pastures. Father, show us the way to Your Heart.

Amen.
