WATCHMAN WARNING: WHAT IS HAPPENING?

That is a question I expect on the minds of many believers. We are so very close to the return of the Lord. And now we see a bold change in the government of the US that will surely lead to a move away from the trend to the one world government that was so well underway. A very few other places have had a similar change in government, such as Argentina, but not many. The UN, the World Economic Forum, and others all continue to work towards the one-world government.

So what does this mean? Still and most obviously, we all should be alert to all that is happening as the Lord has warned us in Luke 21:36, and be ready to go when he comes.

Beyond that, let me say that nothing has changed regarding our being so close to the return of Jesus. All those prophecies fulfilled, everything is still in line for that. His coming to collect his sheep could happen anytime.

Here are some interesting insights regarding the newly elected government in the US:

There seems to be some talk about encouraging the building of the third temple in Jerusalem. Well, that does need to be ready by the middle of the Tribulation when the antichrist comes to take up residence there, but that building could all happen during the early years of the Tribulation. Still, it is interesting to hear this being discussed!

The newly nominated secretary of defense himself has spoken of the need to build the temple on a specific spot on the temple mount.

The newly appointed ambassador to Israel under the new administration is a strong supporter of Israel, as are several in the new administration

Likely, we shall see a return to the efforts of the previous Trump administration to bring about a peace accord with Israel and its many neighbors. You may remember the successful Abraham accords that brought some Arab nations to an improved relationship with Israel.

In the election on November 5, the overwhelming number of evangelical Christians voted for President Trump. Similarly, the great number of Catholics voted for President Trump. But, sadly and shockingly, the overwhelming number of Jews in the US voted for the losing side, the socialist government that was leading the US into the one-world government and that does not strongly support Israel. It seems inconceivable, but then we have to realize these people do not know Jesus. And for that matter, so many are not even serious Jews, rather being ethnic Jews. Well, the time of their coming face to face with truth is near at hand, just not yet.

All this is interesting surely. But then you and I know a bit more. We know that once a true peace agreement is signed by Israel that the people believe in so much they live in unwalled villages, the seven year Tribulation begins. In fact, it begins the moment that agreement is signed. And the individual who clearly leads that to come about is the antichrist.

We also have noticed all the interaction between Russia and Turkey and Iran in recent years. All that is leading up to their attack on Israel in the Ezekiel 38-39 war, an attack that is obviously repelled by God in a way all should recognize his hand. That attack will happen early in the Tribulation period, for the people are living in unwalled villages when it occurs the Bible says.

I do have one other overriding comment: the new administration is not yet in office. It seems an eerily quiet period in the US. We all should be praying for peace and safety for all involved as this goes forward.

We should still expect the Lord’s return to collect his believers before the beginning of the Tribulation, for as we have noted so many times, in several places the Bible notes we were not appointed to suffer wrath. Besides, the antichrist will not be free on earth to work to bring about the famous peace agreement that begins the Tribulation unless the true CHURCH, the true believers, have been taken out of the way.

Keep your eyes on Jesus. At all times. Pray in the Spirit. Seek his guidance. Remember, the Holy Spirit guides you into all truth, tells you things yet to come, and reminds you of things Jesus has said to you. If you don’t know the Holy Spirit and his gifts, pray to receive that and the baptism of the Spirit. If possible, ask a Spirit-filled believer to pray for you for this. Or contact us and we can pray for you over the telephone.

* WATCHMAN WARNING: THIS EXTRAORDINARY ELECTION

This very unpleasant election in America is about to reach the end – of the formal voting at least. Early voting has already begun in many places and the final official election day is just a few days off.

The contrast between the two major candidates and between the two major parties could not be greater. One is based more on traditional American values from the Bible and the Constitution. The other seeks to remake the nation into a socialist society with great attention to race and gender and restrictions on fundamental Constitutional rights such as free speech. It seems to many a contest of whether the America most citizens over 40 have known all their lives survives or the nation turns the direction of other failed socialist states, a move apparently orchestrated by the evil one to make this great nation part of the soon arriving one world government.

Having said all that, I want to make sure that all believers realize these truths:

The Lord Jesus is and will be King of Kings and Lord of Lords no matter who wins any human election.
The Bible is true. The words of God are inerrant. They are infallible.
Believers in Jesus Christ always seek to do his father’s will. That is one of the fundamental requirements to be in the Kingdom. Jesus actually said that.
In the presidential election in the US we the people are not choosing a perfect person or leader. None of the candidates qualify for that! We are just trying to select the best candidate to lead a secular government. Regardless of what we think of a person’s personality or whether we would want to hang out with them, we must choose the best of the candidates.

Surely a believer in the Lord Jesus should vote, and they should vote for the candidate that is most based on the values Jesus and his father have presented to mankind. The election is pretty clear if you want to help the US fight to continue the traditional values and not slide to a position of extreme weakness as the Tribulation begins. Remember, you may not be here during the Tribulation, but some of your relatives, friends, coworkers, neighbors, and associates will surely be.

* WATCHMAN WARNING: COMING TO GRIPS WITH OUR LIVES NOW

We believers in Jesus are all going to have to learn more and more to keep our eyes on the future that is ours, the coming time in Heaven with Jesus and his Father and then on earth when and after Jesus sets up Kingdom rule from Jerusalem.

We just can’t keep getting so distraught over all the ungodly behavior and rules and laws and practices of society today. The government of America is obviously an ungodly one. Many traditional churches are obviously lost, accepting behavior and lifestyles that are an abomination to God. The leaders of so many areas of life are similarly lost. And the daily outpouring of programs and entertainment and such is overflowing with ungodly material. People are deluged with all that.

We must focus on the joy that is ours and is coming soon, just as Jesus looked to that joy in Hebrews 12:2. And we have to focus on him always.

The world is a lost system. The majority are just lost. It is only a few that go with the Lord when he comes. A remnant, a small number, whatever you want to call it. Jesus himself said few are they who find it, referring to the way to true life.

By now I expect you are coming to the realization that these little sparks of hope that appear on earth in the form of a politician here or there or perhaps a small movement here or there are just that. Small sparks and movements. The mass are not going to be deterred in their unknowing march to the new world order, the new one-world government. They are not going to be deterred in their march straight into hell following the white throne judgement that awaits them.

I just read a commentator pondering why in the recent election the results went so contrary to expectations. And then he made the observation – the mass of the population just don’t think things are so bad – the economy, whatever. They make decisions on how things are at the moment, on the economy of the moment. And to them things obviously are ok. The government is ok. That sounds like that may be true. And it sadly shows just how totally lost the majority is.

It is not a pretty picture. It is not a hopeful picture for all those we know who are in that majority group. But it is the way it is. It is the truth.

We believers somehow must come to grips with the reality of what is happening and coming. We know where we are in God’s time. We know his plans. We know. It is just all so unpleasant looking at the world and wondering how to fix things that have gone so awry.

As I have written several times recently, we surely must represent Jesus in all the opportunities that come before us, all the encounters God arranges for us. We must be guided by the Holy Spirit in this. And thus we will be helping in God’s drawing people to Jesus.

We also must acknowledge the Lord before men. We can’t just stand by and watch him be trashed by ungodly beings who don’t know what they are talking about. But in stepping out at any time, we must always be guided by the Holy Spirit.

Remember, Jesus did say that if we acknowledge him before men, he will acknowledge us before God the Father in Heaven. But the reverse is also true. He said if we deny him before men he will deny us before God the Father in Heaven.

Tough, unpleasant, severe times. Keep your eyes on Jesus and live as he would have you live. Fulfill all he has called you to, which of course includes whatever you may have heard directly from him as well as what he said to his believers in scripture.

WATCHMAN WARNING: MOMENTOUS

A momentous election is upon us in the United States.

Far more important than that of course is the imminent return of Jesus. But surely all believers want Jesus to find us out there working for him and the gospel right up to the time he comes. And don’t we all want to be living in as good and decent a place as possible these remaining days?

This election gives us all that opportunity. It gives us a chance to take a stand against the out and out evil and wrong-thinking of many politicians in our government these past months. It gives us all a chance to vote for what we can perceive are the best candidates, the ones who are true Christians or at least have basic Christian values and who have the backbone to stand up for honesty and decency and truth.

On the local and national level we have seen action after action supporting issues that bring the country down, destroy the economy, damage the basic fundamental values of America that come from the Bible and the Constitution. We have seen apparently confused or flat out evil politicians take stands that support criminals over the victims of crime, with the result that in many cities today citizens fear to go about the city, to ride public transportation, basically just to live. We have seen local district attorneys elected who will not support law and order but over and over release terrible criminals onto the streets.

Throughout the land many good citizens are volunteering to take positions such as poll observer during the election in the hope of having fairer and more honest elections than we have seen in recent years. Let’s pray that indeed happens.

The goals right now should be to turn around many governments at all levels – governor, mayor, local school boards and councils, and Congress itself. Many Americans throughout my lifetime have tried to focus on working to support their families, on having a home and a car and a vacation and perhaps going to sports events or some other recreation. Those are all good things in themselves. But these Americans have not wanted to focus on issues of politics and government, with the result being we have ended up with the atrocious leaders the nation and many cities and states have now.

There are still people who think the nation is doing well, and we only have to wonder how they think. We still even have some Christians who just seem not to be aware of all that is happening. Well, we know from prophecy and scripture what I have written often about, how Jesus warned us not to be deceived in these last days in which we are living. Deception is rampant on earth today.

I just write to encourage you to vote and to think seriously about each position. Seek God's guidance. It is not about whose personality you like the most. It is about who you think would do the best for you and your family, for your children, for your community, and for the nation. We all should try to make these last days as good as we possibly can, instead of a steadily deteriorating society heading toward an apparent lawless, godless, out of control hell on earth. We know from the Bible that times get tougher and tougher as we near the return, but surely we can stand against that tide to the extent possible and be doing so when the Lord returns. And of course, always, we surely can and should be representing Jesus in all opportunities and as the Holy Spirit guides.
