Prophecy Update: Watchman on the Wall
For almost thirty years I have been praying some specific scriptures as a watchman on the wall. Almost every night I pray for Jerusalem that God will establish Jerusalem and make it a praise on the earth. I know that the ultimate answer to that prayer is coming at the second coming of Jesus, so why pray it? I pray it because God is actively at work in the world, making Jerusalem a central point of contention for all of the nations.
God uses Jerusalem and the return of the Jews to the land to measure the spiritual temperature of the nations. Every individual and every nation is obligated by God in the last days to support what He is doing. The prophetic scriptures teach us that the world will rebel at what God is doing. Nations will oppose establishing Jerusalem as the eternal capital city of Israel. The world will oppose Israel being reestablished as the ancient homeland of the Jewish people. The church will apostatize by rejecting what God is doing with Jerusalem and the Jews. This keeps me up at night!
I am on edge because what has happened since May 14, 2018! When the United States government declared that Jerusalem was the eternal capital of Israel and we moved our embassy there, that was a red letter day. My thoughts were, game on. I knew that Satan would attack with all he had to stop this move.
Satan responded to Gods move by doubling down on the European Union, moving them to initiate the antichrist system. He used a virus to move the world to the final kingdom on earth! He practiced the mark of the beast when he moved his minions to demand masks. When I walked into my local supermarket, I was confronted with you cannot buy food unless you have a mask on. That is exactly what the mark of the beast will accomplish! Israel also passed a new law in 2018 that is prophecy defining!
“Israel’s hugely controversial “nation-state” law, explained: Israel passed a controversial new “nation-state law” last week that’s sparking both celebration and fierce debate over the very nature of Israel itself. The law does three big things:
It states that “the right to exercise national self-determination” in Israel is “unique to the Jewish people.”
It establishes Hebrew as Israel’s official language, and downgrades Arabic — a language widely spoken by Arab Israelis — to a “special status.”
It establishes “Jewish settlement as a national value” and mandates that the state “will labor to encourage and promote its establishment and development.” vox.com
As a watchman on the wall, all I can say is “this means war”!! Satan is seeing God move to reestablish the nation of Israel as prophecy declares, he wants to stop it in a bad way. He will fail. As the United States seeks to undermine all that has happened since 2018, this is causing Israel to move to war with her neighbors! What is a watchman?
Some in the church have been called as watchmen. The “definition: צָפָה tsâphâh, tsaw-faw’; properly, to lean forward, i.e. to peer into the distance; by implication, to observe, await:—behold, spy, look up (well), wait for, (keep the) watch(-man).” blueletterbible.org
“Unless the LORD builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; unless the LORD guards the city, the watchman keeps awake in vain.”
Psalm 127:1
Of the 20 times the word ‘watchman’ appears in the scriptures, the first 10 describe watchmen at their job. Watchmen look for animals eating the crops, thieves coming to take their food, and foreign armies coming to attack. In Psalm 127 God gives us a commentary on the work of the watchman. As we watch, we put our hope and faith in the Lord. If the Lord guards the city, why should we set watchmen up on the wall? God describes His reasoning for the watchman in Ezekiel 33.
“But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet and the people are not warned, and a sword comes and takes a person from them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require from the watchman’s hand.’ Now as for you, son of man, I have appointed you a watchman for the house of Israel; so you will hear a message from My mouth and give them warning from Me.”
Ezekiel 33:6-7
The Lord sets up watchmen to warn the people of the coming judgment of God. The scriptures teach us that as we get closer and closer to the rapture of the church, God will send out His servants to warn the world of the coming Tribulation period. God promised the world that He would send out His servants to warn the world before the coming disaster. He sent Noah before the flood, Jeremiah before the Babylonian invasion, and Jesus Himself warned of the coming Roman destruction of Jerusalem. God described this of His prophet Ezekiel.
“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore hear a word from My mouth, and give them warning from Me”
Ezekiel 3:17
My own personal calling as a watchman came in the early 90’s when the Lord impressed on me to pray Isaiah 62:1-7.
“On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen; All day and all night they will never keep silent. You who remind the LORD, take no rest for yourselves; And give Him no rest until He establishes And makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.”
Isaiah 62:6-7
Note how important Jerusalem is to this passage. Watchmen pray for Jerusalem and what God is going to do with regard to that city. At the end of the seven year Tribulation period, Jesus will come back and His feet will touch down in Jerusalem, on the Mount of Olives! He is coming back to the city that He set up for the coming Kingdom. Jerusalem is key to all end time prophecy. Jerusalem will be at the center of attention during the Tribulation period. Jesus will send Elijah and Moses to the city to preach. Antichrist will desecrate the Temple. Jesus will then gather all nations to come and fight at Jerusalem. It is not vain for me to pray for Jerusalem because I know that Jesus will sit and rule the whole world from that place!
At this time, Jerusalem is under assault! When we see Jerusalem in the condition it is today, the rapture of the church is right around the corner. We do not have that much more time to warn the world of the coming judgment!
“Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming.” Matt.24:42
The basic law of 2018 is anathema to the globalist agenda. They are committed to nations without borders and a global government that does not recognize individual nations. Satan is moving fast to establish his final antichrist kingdom.
“According to the Bible, Jerusalem will be a cup of trembling and a burdensome stone for the world at the end of the age. In 1967, 80,000 or more troops from several Arab nations moved 1,000 or more tanks and heavy weapons close to Israel’s borders in preparation for an attack.
On June 5, 1967, Israel launched a pre-emptive strike, defeated the Arab nations, captured East Jerusalem, and reunited the city. Jews call the reunification of Jerusalem “Jerusalem Day.”
They celebrate “Jerusalem Day” and their sovereignty over the city by singing, dancing, and waving the Israeli flag in a parade through the center of the city. Under the direction of Iran, the terrorist group Hamas located in Gaza called the celebration offensive and threatened violence if the Jews did not cancel it.
Jerusalem Day fell on May 10, 2021; the Jews did not cancel the parade, but it was interrupted by sirens at the Wailing Wall because Hamas was firing rockets at Jerusalem (during the recent May 11-day war). The May 11-day war ended; the parade was rescheduled for June 15, 2021; Hamas threatened violence again; the Jews still did not cancel it, but they revised the route to keep the parade just outside the city.” raptureready.com
The tension has just increased since that day. The temperature for war has been rising since May 14, 2018. When Israel installed a new government, Israel was weakened to the point that they will invite war. Appeasement always invites war. This new government is so divided, so confused, that it will invite the aggression that leads to larger conflicts. As the Biden Administration pushes Israel to divide and give up her land, then war will come to America. Here are some of the headlines from the last few weeks:
America Is Not Ready for a War With China | Foreign Affairs
Here’s who would win if Russia, China, and America went to war
Defeat Is Possible – War on the Rocks
America’s flawed war strategies | TheHill
Will the US go to war? – Quora
From the left to the right politically, everyone is predicting that we will be at war very soon. We push Israel towards war so we will be at war. It is Gods way!
“Netanyahu: Lapid’s ‘no surprises on Iran’ pledge to US endangers Israel. Opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday accused Foreign Minister Yair Lapid of endangering Israel by pledging to update the US in advance on any military actions Israel could take against Iran.” timesofisrael.com
Israel acts like a protectorate, seeking American approval on all military moves instead of an ally, sovereign as a nation. Biden is pushing Israel and threatening them as the Democrats keep signaling; Israel will be cut off financially by the Democrats! The new government in Israel pushes a narrative, that Netanyahu acted against the United States and they will not. I can smell how Israel will go along with the Antichrist peace deal. It is coming very soon!
Netanyahu made clear under the Obama administration that Israel would act unilaterally to protect themselves. Obama leaked what Israel was planning, acting as an enemy not an ally. Netanyahu did not have to do that under the Trump Administration. But now, under Biden, no military planning or attacks Israel plans will be secret under Biden. The godless administration does not understand this truth of God…
“He rules by His might forever; His eyes keep watch on the nations; Let not the rebellious exalt themselves.”
Psalm 66:7
As America grows towards the antichrist system, Israel compromises its security. Eventually, Israel will sign a peace deal with the evil empire. Israel is being forced into a position that they are going to have to look to the God of our fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It is sad that it will take the Tribulation period to make that happen. This is what the scriptures teach, we are bound as watchman to speak and preach it!
The basic law of 2018 and the right of return is under attack in Israel. This new government; infiltrated by anti-Semitic/anti-Israel people dedicated to tearing down Israel. Just as America is infiltrated by Islamists like Omar Ilhan, AOC, Rashib Talib, and other anti-Israel people, embraced by Biden, are all dedicated to the destruction of Israel and the United States! Watchman are prayers, please pray about the times that we live, that God would awaken people to their need!
