THE WATCHMAN CRIES OUT! WHO WILL YOU CHOOSE TO BELIEVE, GOD OR Man?

THE WATCHMAN CRIES OUT!

WHO WILL YOU CHOOSE TO BELIEVE, GOD OR Man?

“I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem (USA), they never hold their peace day or night. You who make mention of the LORD, do not keep silent.” Isaiah 62:6

“Do not be deceived, GOD is not mocked; for “whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the SPIRIT will of the SPIRIT reap everlasting life.” Galatians 6:7-8 {The USA is blatantly mocking GOD in policy and practice.}

“In the beginning GOD created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1

“The heavens declare the glory of GOD; and the firmament shows HIS handiwork. Psalms 19:1

“Forever, O LORD, YOUR WORD is settled in heaven. Your faithfulness endures to all generations; YOU established the earth, and it abides.” Psalm 119:89

“The entirety of YOUR WORD is truth, and every one of YOUR judgments endures forever.” Psalms 119:160

“Every WORD of GOD is pure; HE is a shield to those who put their trust in HIM. Do not add to HIS WORDS; lest HE rebuke you, and you be found a liar.” Proverbs 30:5-6

“My son, if you receive my words, and treasure my commands within you, so that you incline your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding, yes, if you cry out for discernment, and lift your voice for understanding, if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures; then you will understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of GOD. For the LORD gives wisdom; from HIS mouth come knowledge and understanding;” Proverbs 2:1-6

“So you may walk in the way of goodness, and keep to the paths of righteousness. For the upright will dwell in the land, and the blameless will remain in it; but the wicked will be cut off from the earth, and the unfaithful will be uprooted from it.” Proverbs 2:20-22

“Heaven and earth will pass away, but MY WORDS will by no means pass away. Matthew 24:35. When JESUS spoke these words there was only the OLD TESTAMENT which is inspired by the HOLY SPIRIT and is relevant for today.

“For by HIM (JESUS CHRIST) all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through HIM and for HIM.” Colossians 1:16

“All things were made through HIM, and without HIM nothing was made that was made.” John 1:3

“All Scripture is given by inspiration of GOD, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,”   2Timothy 3:16

“And we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with HIM on the holy mountain. And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts, knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of GOD spoke as they were moved by the HOLY SPIRIT.” 2Peter 1:18-21

GOD’s WORD is the absolute authority. HE (JESUS CHRIST) is in control of all things, including the weather.

WHO CONTROLS THE CLIMATE? GOD or man?

What GOD’s WORD says: “Those who go down to the sea in ships, who do business on great waters, they see the works of the LORD, and HIS wonders in the deep. For HE commands and raises the stormy wind, which lifts up the waves of the sea, they mount up to the heavens, they go down again to the depths; their soul melts because of trouble. They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits end. They cry out to the LORD in their trouble, and HE brings them out of their distresses. He calms the storm, so that the waves are still. Then they are glad because they are quiet; so HE guides them to their desired haven.

 Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for HIS goodness, and for HIS wonderful works to the children of men! Let them exalt HIM also in the assembly of the people, and praise HIM in the company of the elders.” Psalm 107:23-32

“HE turns rivers into a wilderness, and the water springs into dry ground; a fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of those who dwell in it. HE turns a wilderness into pools of water, and dry land into water springs. There HE makes the hungry dwell, that they may establish a city for a dwelling place, and sow fields and plant vineyards, that they may yield a fruitful harvest. HE also blesses them, and they multiply greatly; and does not let their cattle decrease. When they are diminished  and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow, HE pours out contempt on princes, and causes men to wander in the wilderness where there is no way; yet HE sets the poor on high, far from affliction, and makes their families like a flock. The righteous see it and rejoice, and all iniquity stops its mouth. Whoever is wise will observe these things, and they will understand the loving kindness of the LORD.” Psalm 107:33-43

JESUS demonstrates HIS authority over creation

“Now when HE got into a boat, HIS disciples followed HIM. And suddenly a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered with waves. But HE was asleep. Then HIS disciples came to HIM and awoke HIM, saying, LORD, save us! We are perishing! But HE said to them, Why are you fearful, O you of little faith? Then HE arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was great calm. So the men marveled, saying, Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea obey HIM?”  Matthew 8:23-27

“Immediately JESUS made HIS disciples get into the boat and go before HIM to the other side, while HE sent the multitudes away. And when HE had sent the multitudes away, HE went up on the mountain by HIMSELF to pray. Now when evening came, HE was alone there. But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary. Now in the fourth watch of the night JESUS went to them, walking on the sea. And when the disciples saw HIM walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, it is a ghost! And they cried out for fear. But immediately JESUS spoke to them saying, Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid. And Peter answered HIM and said LORD, if it is you, command me to come to YOU on the water. So HE said Come. And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to JESUS. But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, LORD, save me! And immediately JESUS stretched out HIS hand and caught him, O you of little faith, why did you doubt? And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. Then those who were in the boat came and worshipped HIM, saying, Truly, YOU are the SON of GOD.”  Matthew 14:22-33

“Now when they had left the multitude, they took HIM along in the boat as HE was. And other little boats were also with HIM. And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. But HE was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke HIM and said to HIM, Teacher do YOU not care that we are perishing? The HE arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, Peace, be still! And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. But HE said to them, “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?” And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, WHO can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey HIM!” Mark 4:36-41 also refer to Matthew 8:23-27

In case you think JESUS was being harsh to the disciples, let’s review what they had witnessed up to Matthew Chapter 14.

• Touching and cleansing the leper: Matthew 8:1-5
• Healing the Roman centurion’s servant by HIS word: Matthew 8:5-13
• Healing Peter’s Mother-in-law: Matthew 8:14-15
• Healing and delivering many from sickness and demon possession: Matthew 8:16-17
• Casting out demons: Matthew 8:28-34
• Healing a paralytic: Matthew 9:2-8
• Healing and raising from the dead the ruler’s daughter and healing the woman with the issue of blood: Matthew 9:18-26
• Giving sight to two blind men: Matthew 9:27-31
• Healing the mute and demon possessed man: Matthew 9:32-33
• Healing the withered hand of a man: Matthew 12:10-13
• Feeding the multitude, 5000 men plus women and children, with five loaves and two fish: Matthew 14:14-21

We dare not criticize the disciples lack of faith, we have the whole of scripture revealing GOD the Father, GOD the Son, and GOD the Holy Spirit and we do not put into practice what we know or should know from scripture. JESUS demonstrated HIS absolute authority over all creation, including the weather.

GOD speaks for HIMSELF:

“Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said: Who is this who darkens counsel by words without knowledge? Now prepare yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer ME. Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell ME, if you have understanding. Who determined its measurements? Surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it? To what were its foundations fastened? Or who laid its cornerstone? When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of GOD shouted for joy? Or who shut in the sea with doors, when it burst forth and issued from the womb; when I made the clouds its garment, and thick darkness its swaddling band: when I fixed MY limit for it, and set bars and doors; when I said you may come, but no farther; and here your proud waves must stop!” Job 38:1-11

“Have you entered the treasury of snow, or have you seen the treasury of hail, which I have reserved for the time of trouble, for the day of battle and war? By what way is light diffused, or the east wind scattered over the earth? Who has divided a channel for overflowing water, or a path for the thunderbolt, to cause it to rain on a land where there is no one, a wilderness in which there is no man; to satisfy the desolate waste, and cause to spring forth the growth of tender grass? Has the rain a father? Or who has begotten the drops of dew? From whose womb comes the ice? And the frost of heaven, who gives it birth? The waters harden like stone, and the surface of the deep is frozen.” Job 38:22-30“Can you lift up your voice to the clouds, that an abundance of water may cover you? Can you send out lightnings, that they may go, and say to you, here we are? Who has put wisdom in the mind? Or, who had given understanding to the heart? Who can number the clouds by wisdom? Or who can pour out the bottles of heaven, when the dust hardens in clumps, and the clods cling together?” Job 38:34-38

“Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said: Now prepare yourself like a man; I will question you and you shall answer ME; Would you indeed annul MY judgment? Would you condemn ME that you may be justified? Have you and arm like GOD? Or can you thunder with a voice like HIS? Then adorn yourself with majesty and splendor, and array yourself with glory and beauty. Disperse the rage of your wrath; look on everyone who is proud, and humble him. Look on everyone who is proud, and bring him low; tread down the wicked in their place. Hide them in the dust together, blind their faces in hidden darkness. Then I will confess to you that your own right hand can save you.” Job 40:6-14

In Isaiah 40:

“Who has measured the waters in the hollow of HIS hand, measured heaven with a span, and calculated the dust of the earth in a measure? Weighed the mountains in scales and the hills in a balance? Who has directed the SPIRIT OF THE LORD, or as HIS counselor has taught HIM? With whom did HE take counsel, and who instructed HIM, and taught HIM in the path of justice? Who taught HIM knowledge, and showed HIM the way of understanding? Behold the nations are as a drop in the bucket, and are counted as the small dust on the scales; look, HE lifts up the isles as a very little thing and Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor is its beasts sufficient for a burnt offering. All nations before HIM are as nothing, and they are counted by HIM less than nothing and worthless.” Isaiah 40:12-17

“Have you not known? Have you not heard? Has it not been told to you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth? It is HE who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, WHO stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in. HE brings princes to nothing; HE makes the judges of the earth useless.” Isaiah 40:21-23

“Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting GOD, the LORD, the CREATOR of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable.” Isaiah 40:28

What the future holds for mankind and the earth: Revelation

Chapter 1: The Glorified CHRIST

• “The Revelation of JESUS CHRIST, which GOD gave HIM to show HIS servants – things which must shortly take place. And HE sent and signified it by HIS angel to HIS servant John, who bore witness to the word of GOD, and to the testimony of JESUS CHRIST, to all things that he saw. Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it, for the time is near.” Revelation 1:1-3
• “Behold, HE is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see HIM, even they who pierced HIM. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of HIM. Even so, Amen. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, says the LORD, who is and who was and who is to come, THE ALMIGHTY.” Revelation 1:7-8

Chapter 6: The seal judgments

• WAR: “Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given him a great sword.” v.4
• SCARCITY: “And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, ‘a quart of wheat for a denarius (a day’s wages) and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.” v. 6
• DEATH: “So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed him. And power was given them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth.” v.8
• CREATION: “I looked when HE opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. And the stars of the heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave, and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, ‘fall on us and hide us from the face of HIM who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the LAMB! For the great day of HIS wrath has come, and who is able to stand?” v. 12-17

Chapter 7: The four winds stopped by angels at the direction of the LAMB of GOD; The LORD JESUS CHRIST

• “After these things I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, on the sea, or on any tree.” v.1

Chapter 8: Trumpet judgments

• “So the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. The first angel sounded; and hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown to the earth, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.” “Then the second angel sounded; and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. And a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.” “Then the third angel sounded; and a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. The name of the star is Wormwood; and a third of the waters became wormwood, and many died from the water, because it was made bitter.” “Then the fourth angel sounded; and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night.  And I looked, and I heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!” v.6-13
• Chapter 9 states how mankind will be tortured and seek death but not find it ended with this condemnation: “But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk. And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.” v.20-21
• Chapter 10: A message to the Apostle John: “And again he said to me, ‘You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings.” v.11
• Chapter 11: Two prophets who prophesy for 1,260 days and then are killed and the world celebrates by sending presents to each other; then after three days of being displayed in public they are resurrected and taken to heaven in the view of the whole world. “Now after the three-and-a-half days the breath of life from GOD entered them, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” And they ascended to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw them. In the same hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. In the earthquake seven thousand people were killed, and the rest were afraid and gave glory to the GOD of heaven.” v.11-13
• Then the seventh angel sounded: and there were loud voices in heaven saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our LORD and of HIS CHRIST, and HE shall reign forever and ever!” “And the twenty-four elders who sat before GOD on their thrones fell on their faces and worshipped GOD, saying: “We give thanks, O LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, the ONE who is and who was and who is to come, because YOU have taken YOUR great power and reigned. The nations were angry, and YOUR wrath has come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that YOU should reward YOUR servants the prophets and the saints, and those who fear YOUR name, small and great, and should destroy those who destroy the earth.”
• Chapter 15: “Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous: seven angels having seven last plagues, for in them the wrath of GOD is complete.” v.1
• Chapter 16: “Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go pour out the bowls of wrath of GOD on the earth.” So the first went and poured out his bowl upon the earth, and a foul and loathsome sore came upon the men who had the mark of the beast and those who worshipped his image. Then the second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it became blood as of a dead man; and every living creature in the sea died. Then the third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood. And I heard the angel of the waters saying: “YOU are righteous, O LORD, the ONE who is and who was and who is to be, because YOU have judged these things. For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets and YOU have given them blood to drink. For it is their just due.” v.1-6
• Chapter 16: “Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun and power was given to him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of GOD, who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give HIM glory.” “Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom became full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues because of the pain. They blasphemed the GOD of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and did not repent of their deeds.” v.8-11
• Chapter 16: “Then the sixth angel poured our his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared.” v.12
• Chapter 16: “Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, “It is done!” And there were noises and thunderings and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not occurred since men were on the earth.” “Then every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. And great hail from heaven fell upon men, each hailstone about the weight of a talent. Men blasphemed GOD because of the plague of the hail, since that plague was exceedingly great.” v.17-18, 20-21

Many if not most will not believe what GOD has told people about HIMSELF and what is coming in the future. The turmoil in the world now is a forewarning of what is to come in what GOD’s WORD calls the Tribulation and The  Great Tribulation; a seven year period of GOD’s wrath upon mankind and the earth. With the WORD of ALMIGHTY GOD before us, why do we believe the agendas of man? We are adopting communist / Marxist policies as a forerunner of the coming Anti-Christ one world government, which he will control with a mark on each individual. We are bankrupting our country chasing the myth of man-made climate change. Any climate changes are GOD made and purposed to get our attention; calling us to repent and glorify the LORD GOD CREATOR. All the wind mills, solar panels, and EV’s are not going to impact what the LORD JESUS does with the climate of the world. How many of you have had a religious leader/pastor-teacher/priest call people together for prayer with regard to the weather? Is it because they do not believe the WORD of GOD and that HE is in absolute control? Or, is it because they are fearful of the criticism of man? No Tic-Toc, Facebook, X, or any other social media will be in heaven. However, the LORD JESUS will judge:

 “Then I saw a great white throne and HIM who sat on it from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before GOD, and books were opened, And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their work, the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.” Revelation 20:11-15

How do you get your name in the Book of Life?

THE ONLY HOPE JESUS CHRIST

Repent! Individually, as a family, as a church, as a nation!

The one and only redeemer JESUS CHRIST 

“JESUS answered and said to him, most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of GOD.” (John 3:3)

“For GOD so loved the world that HE gave HIS only begotten SON, that whosoever believes in HIM should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)

The dividing line of belief or unbelief; the exclusive statements

“JESUS said to him, I AM the way, the TRUTH, and the LIFE. No one comes to the FATHER except through ME.” (John 14:6)

“Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12

The inclusive statements

“This is good and acceptable in the sight of GOD our SAVIOR, WHO desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” 1 Timothy 2:3-4

“The LORD is not slack concerning HIS promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9

“But GOD demonstrates HIS own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, CHRIST died for us.” (Romans 5:8)

“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of GOD.” (Romans 3:23)

“For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all.” James 2:10

“For the Scripture says, ‘Whoever believes on HIM will not be disappointed. For there is not distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same LORD is LORD of all, abounding in riches for all who call on HIM; for ‘Whoever will call on the name of the LORD will be saved.” (Romans 10:11-13)

Is pride keeping you from confessing you are a sinner in need of a Savior and acknowledging that JESUS CHRIST through HIS death, burial, and resurrection is the only way to eternal life?

“That if you confess with your mouth the LORD JESUS and believe in your heart that GOD has raised HIM from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”          (Romans 10:9-10)

You have the freedom to hear and to heed and to choose who you will believe –GOD or man – your opportunity, your choice; eternal choice!

• Your decision in this life is an eternal decision. “He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.” Revelation 22:11

There is an ongoing spiritual war for your soul and the souls of your children and grandchildren. The forces of evil and Satan are mobilized and positioned throughout the culture in the ‘new world order’, the ‘great reset’, the gender wars, drugs and progressive anti-Christ policy. Almost all the secular and many religious institutions are motivating people and particularly young people to break the 10th Commandment; thou shall not covet. The lie is GOD cannot be trusted to provide for the individual and that the government must correct GOD’s failure; or, the individual as the victim has the right to take what they believe they are ‘entitled’ to have; stealing is breaking another Commandment. The scriptures used would be defined as hate speech by some. The basic question remains who will you believe; GOD or man?Is your knowledge so great that you will call GOD a liar and reject HIS revealed written WORD?
