The Watchmen

Perched high in stone towers, the watchmen of Israel’s day had ONE job - to look for incoming danger. They were attentive, eyes always scanning the horizon, and never allowing drowsiness to overcome them because ALL of their future days were dependent on them doing their job well.

The spiritual watchmen also have one job, to let the people know when danger is coming. Sad to say, it’s often not on the horizon, but in the pulpits. God gave a warning to them and their somber task…  “But if the watchmen sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes someone’s life, that person’s life will be taken because of their sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for their sin” (Ezekiel 33:6).

It’s never a popular position to be the one to warn the people, but we must. The first and most somber warning is that Jesus is returning soon. People need to get right with the Lord and make sure they have repented of their sins. Secondly, judgment is coming to a rebellious world, and the rise of Islam will play a big role in this. Every continent is watching this evil rise with a bloody conquest. Thirdly, the demonic spirit of antisemitism is taking over colleges and even once stable minds, poisoning a whole generation.

And lastly, many of our leaders are under the demonic control of globalism. They will sacrifice you and your family on the altar of progressivism and have no conscience about it. They will happily strip you of all freedoms and possessions in order to further the antichrist’s agenda of full world control. The digital ID is being forced on everyone or you cannot work. If anyone ever wondered about why they have blurred the lines between male and female, it is to not see ourselves as God-made individuals, but a mere entity that can be chipped and controlled like an animal. They must dehumanize us first. It all has reasoning behind it.

The watchmen’s warning is clear - “Prepare to meet your God.” Like Peter, we are walking on stormy seas and we must keep our eyes on Jesus alone. May all the earth’s turmoil remind you that we were never made for this turbulent earth, but for Heaven, in His presence. This is the late hour in which we read that the “Spirit and the Bride say ‘Come’!” And take heart, “He will keep us FROM the hour of testing that will come upon the whole earth” (Revelation 3:10). Note that He did NOT say “through, but from,” this is very important.

Jesus is coming…the watchmen are blowing the horn…keep watchful!
