When the time comes, will you be ready or will you BE LEFT BEHIND?
The Watchman
This came to me on 9-26-11 and I finished it on 9-29-11:
A watchman is a person set to keep watch, to be a guard or a sentinel. They are usually watching from a watchtower to keep watch for enemies or the coming of danger.
Matthew 24:42 states: WATCH THEREFORE: FOR YE KNOW NOT WHAT HOUR YOUR LORD DOTH COME.
We as Christians are to be on constant watch. We are to be on guard against the wilds of the Devil.
In the movie “THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING”, there is a clip in the movie were the people of the different “tribes” have to light beacons or towers to signal that they were united in the fight against the “EVIL ONE”. If the watchmen of the other towers had failed to keep watch, they would not have been able to light their beacon to pass on the signal. Each one relied on the others; if just one had failed to keep watch then the “mission” would have failed.
We are watchmen for the coming of our KING, King Jesus. We are to keep watch and we are to be a light for others to see. We are (to be 1 Peter 5:8): WE ARE TO BE SOBER, BE VIGILANT, BECAUSE YOUR ADVERSARY THE DEVIL, AS A ROARING LION, WALKETH ABOUT, SEEKING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR. This is what we are to be very watchful of:( Hosea 9:8): THE WATCHMAN OF EPHRAIM WAS WITH GOD, BUT THE PROPHET IS A SNARE OF A FOWLER IN ALL HIS WAYS AND HATRED IN THE HOUSE OF HIS GOD. In this verse this watchman use to be with GOD, but now pretends to be with HIM. They are false prophets or preachers. The false prophet (preacher) is a snare (trap); he has cunning ways to draw the people into sin and the upright in to trouble. He is so full of hate and enmity to goodness and good men that he has become hate itself against GOD. Take not here: that the wicked prophets are the worst of men; their sins against GOD are most heinous and their plot against religion most dangerous. These pretenders may boast to be watchmen with God, and have their head full of good notions; but we have to look at their lives. They are setting snares to catch people and make them a prey for the devil. We also have to look into their hearts, and we will see that they are full of hate against GOD. We will see that they are very malicious and spiteful against the ones who are truly with GOD.
What can we do?
Luke 21:36 HAS THE ANSWER: WATCH YE THEREFORE, AND PRAY ALWAYS THAT YE MAY BE ACCOUNTED WORTHY TO ESCAPE ALL THESE THINGS THAT SHALL COME TO PASS, AND TO STAND BEFORE THE SON OF MAN.
THE ANSWER: TO BE WATCHFUL AND BE ALWAYS ON PRAYER PROTROL!
