The
purpose of this website is to offer to the body of Christ my own
biblically based interpretations of certain key end time prophetic
teachings, in lieu of unscriptural traditional teachings they may
have unknowingly received as truth. Now there is nothing wrong with
traditional teachings as long as they are biblically correct! However
Jesus, speaking of the Pharisees in Mark 7:7 (KJV) said: Howbeit
in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments
of men. And furthermore in Mark 7:13, he told these teachers they
were:Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition,
which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye. until
the end.
Think about it; according to Jesus, man's traditional unscriptural
teachings make the Word Of God powerless! In the perilous times
ahead, we are going to need this power to be able to endure until
the end.
Some day myself
and all born again believers in Christ are going to stand in front
of the Judgment Seat of Christ and be held accountable for every
action, thought, and spoken word that comes out of our mouths after
salvation. When it's my turn, I do not want the Lord to take away
my rewards and say I worshiped him in vain, because I taught the
word of men as truth, in place of the Word of God! Therefore, acknowledging
the terror of the Lord associated with the the Judgment Seat of
Christ in 2 Corinthians 5:11, I present to you THE WATCHMAN'S TIME.
In the fall of
1994, after intensely studying the book of Daniel and in particular
the eighth
chapter; as I was comparing the map of Alexander
the Great’s Kingdom against a modern
Middle East Map, suddenly I noticed a cat
like figure appeared imbedded within the political borders of
the Middle East Arab Nations surrounding Israel. I was shocked and
awed at what was revealed to me. Today, twelve years later, I now
understand what this composite
beast represents, and am even more so in awe of this hidden
beast kingdom.
As of this writing
(11/2006), Jacob’s people Israel have been back in the land
of Israel as a nation almost sixty years since May 14, 1948, and
have taken back control of Jerusalem almost forty years since June
7, 1967, thus fulfilling the 2600 year prophecy of the times of
the gentiles as far as Jerusalem is concerned in Luke 21:24. In
other words, it is time for “the time of Jacob’s trouble”
to commence, which will bring back King Jesus to the earth some
3 ½ years later to initiate the 1000 year millennial reign
of Christ on earth!
When Jesus was
asked about the timing of his “second coming” by his
disciples in Matthew 24:3, his immediate reply was…Take heed
that no man deceive you in verse 4, implying deception would be
the greatest obstacle facing believers alive at the time of Christ’s
second advent.
After receiving
Christ as my own personal Savior almost 29 years ago, I am 100%
convinced Jesus knew what he was talking about, and I am thankful
he has opened my eyes to some of the end time deceptions that have
been fed to this modern day Laodicean Church which I also am a member.
Very few Christians
alive today are actually watching for Christ’s return, as
we are commanded to do in Mark 13:37. Of those few that are watching,
most are looking in the wrong direction according to Scripture.
Paul plainly tells the church in 2Thessalonians 2:1-9, that two
things must happen before the rapture (gathering in Vs.1) will occur.
First, a great falling away or apostasy must occur, and second the
man of sin (antichrist) will be revealed in verse 3: Let no man
deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there
come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the
son of perdition.
Today, we are
taught in the great evangelical Churches and by many prophecy teachers,
and countless prophecy books, that we should not concern ourselves
with the antichrist and the great falling away, because the pre-tribulation
rapture will remove us from this earth just before the antichrist
signs a “seven years” peace treaty with Israel, thereby
exempting the body of Christ from any type of tribulation, whether
small or great. However, a careful study of Daniel's prophecy of
the seventieth week, clearly reveals 3 ½ years have already
been fulfilled by Jesus earthly ministry, thereby leaving only 3
½ years still future to be fulfilled. Paul says we are not
appointed to wrath in 1Thessalonians 5:9, and Jesus himself suggests
a pre-wrath rapture occurring as in the days of Lot.
These same traditional
prophetic teachings also focus the body of Christ’s attention
on the Revived Roman Empire (E.U.) around Rome as the area the antichrist
will rise up from. In contrast, the Scripture clearly tell us the
future beast (antichrist) will arise out of the Arab kingdom from
the area of Syria/Iraq north of Israel. Micah 5:5 even names him
the Assyrian!
The articles,
maps and pictures on this website are my way of explaining some
of the hard to understand end-time prophetic occurrences which will
come to pass in the not too distant future. Please be a Berean and
study these things out for yourself, and see if these things be
so. Or in other words, Paul admonishes us to Prove all things; hold
fast that which is good. 1Thessalonians 5:21 King James Bible.
In His Service,
Watchman
