America is on a collision course with JEHOVAH God. Knowing that apart from Christ, in me dwells no good thing I have chosen to post a portion of an article hoping...praying the words will speak to hearts of readers and awaken the sleeping giant. I wept as I watched portions of the speech given by Judge Kavanaugh in defense of his integrity and moral character to a government filled with hatred, greed and evil. I have sought Holy Spirit for a word that will speak to the hearts of the dwindling readers of awatchmanonthewall - to awaken those that remain. I have learned of vicious verbal attacks against Ted Cruz and his wife as they dined, attacks by those agitators encouraged to do evil by an elected official sworn to uphold the constitution and I wonder....where is the church in all this.

WE are the church. Not the building, not the pastor not the elders....we are the church; the body of Christ. We must not, we cannot allow evil to prevail.

The Holy Spirit has spoken, we have His word. He continues to speak and just as in the times of the Kings few are listening.

The LORD would say.." Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD. Your nation expects blessings but I am not your God. I continue to withold judgment that you might repent and return...that revival will come to your churches and to your nation but little changes. A great shaking is coming to this nation, it is coming quickly. Fire...fire burning in your soul as you realize how far you have allowed religion and the traditions of man to take you. Great upheaval awaits My people as I begin to shake to loosen the coils that have been tightly wound around My Body....year after year after year.  None will escape the fire for it will only be through the fire that purification and cleansing will come."

David R. Barnhart writes...
"If one did not know that he was reading the history of ancient Israel in 2 Kings, he might conclude the account is a description of our own nation and church in 2018. The moral rot and idolatry of our times have an amazing similarity to the conditions  described in the time of Josiah.

First and foremost, much of the church has "lost" the Book. The Bible has been forsaken in too many churches for the wisdom of man. The Word of God has been changed or reinterpreted by liberals to reflect "new insights" and to justify society's sins.

The male prostitution described in 2 Kings was no worse than the perverted lifestyles of homosexuality, which is being endorsed by national and religious leaders across America this very hour. The sacrifice of children to Molech in Josiah's' time pales when compared to our own nations sacrifice of millions of children in the killing centers of the abortion clinics. The union of false religious practices that took place in the temple of the LORD in ancient Israel is no different than that which is practiced today by compromising churches and clergy who promote the New Age Movement. Eastern religions and synergistic meetings with world religions, (yoga embraced in churches across the nation).  The church in America is closer to experiencing the wrath of God than we know. If revival is coming to the church, it had better come soon because time may be running out. "

"And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?  Is anything worth more than your soul? If anyone is ashamed of me and my message in these adulterous and sinful days, the Son of Man will be ashamed of that person when he returns in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.” Mark 8:36-38

"My people are being destroyed because they don’t know me. Since you priests refuse to know me I refuse to recognize you as my priests. Since you have forgotten the laws of your God, I will forget to bless your children." Hosea 4:6

'No longer is truth sought after., but the sensational, the glitz the glamour; this you gravitate to.

Do not seek an experience, seek relationship. No longer look for the flash, strengthen your faith as you read and meditate on My Word. Look around, see how your nation has fallen and continues to fall deeper and deeper into sin against and separation from The Creator; from the elite to the illiterate there is sin and separation. Your nation once so proud so free has now become a boiling pot of filth, it has become poor, wretched and in need of repentance and restoration.

Will you be among those who defend or deny My Truth. Will you speak up or remain quiet? Will you engage or surrender? Where will you stand in the battle for truth?"

"The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you." Romans 8:11

"Listen, all the earth! I will bring disaster on My people. It is the fruit of their own schemes, because they refuse to listen to Me. They have rejected my word." Jeremiah 6:19

"Deaf ears, deaf ears and blind eyes. My people have deaf ears and blind eyes. Seeing yet they are blind, hearing yet they do not understand.

Silently the enemy advances within the body.  Carefully calculating each move he advances unrecognized. Unnoticed his agenda to steal, kill and destroy moves forward.

Take notice of what surrounds. You must be alert, armed and dangerous if you are to stand strong against the tricks of the devil.  

The enemy is advancing....do not be unaware."

"Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ." 1 Peter 1:13

"Be of sober spirit, be on the alert Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." 1 Peter 5:8

"Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm." Ephesians 6:13

The prophecy clock advanced on August 28 when a red heifer was born in Israel. The heifer was bred, examined, and is being raised under the guidance of the Temple Institute's Raise a Red Heifer program. The red heifer is important to prophecy because its ashes are needed to cleanse the Temple and its instruments. In explaining to his disciples the chronology of events of the last days in Matthew 24:15-16, Christ warns, "When you therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, then let them which be in Judea flee into the mountains." This means that there is a fully operational Jewish Temple in Jerusalem prior to the Messiah's return.

 

The ordinance of the red heifer is found in Numbers 19 where the Lord commands Moses to bring a "red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke" to be slayed outside the camp, and burned with cedar wood, hyssop and scarlet. A clean man is to gather up the ashes of the heifer "...and store them outside the camp in a clean place. They are to be kept for the community of the people of Israel to prepare water for purification of sin (verse 9)." Anyone who touches the heifer in the process is rendered unclean. This ordinance is considered a "chok" by the Jews, a statute decreed by God that cannot be understood by human reasoning, because the true meaning is beyond our intellect.

 

Daniel 11:31 prophesies that In the end of years the armed forces of the king of the north (beast/antichrist) "shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that makes desolation." This is what Christ is referring to in Matthew 24. Therefore, prior to the Messiah returning there are daily sacrifices taking place in the Temple in Jerusalem. According to Jewish tradition, there can be no official Temple in Jerusalem without the red heifer's blood being sprinkled on the temple and the temple's instruments cleansed according to God's instruction in Numbers. This is why the red heifer is so important to end time prophecy. No red heifer, no Temple.

 

The "chok" of the red heifer is that it is used for cleansing and purification, yet those who touch it become unclean. Think about the symbolism. The red heifer, examined by the priests to have no blemish, is slayed outside the camp and Its blood and ashes are used for purification of sin. Christ, examined by the priests to have no blemish, was crucified outside the camp and risen for the propitiation of sin. Those priests were most certainly unclean. But even the blood of Christ could cleanse them from their sin. Hebrews 9:13-14 concludes: "For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?"  Bill Wilson, Daily Jot

"...for you know how late it is; time is running out. Wake up, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is almost gone; the day of salvation will soon be here. So remove your dark deeds like dirty clothes, and put on the shining armor of right living. Because we belong to the day, we must live decent lives for all to see. Don’t participate in the darkness of wild parties and drunkenness, or in sexual promiscuity and immoral living, or in quarreling and jealousy. Instead, clothe yourself with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. And don’t let yourself think about ways to indulge your evil desires." Romans 13:11-14 NLT

"...you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires." Romans 13:11-14 ESV

"Do you know the time? Can you discern the lateness of the hour or do you remain wrapped in the grave clothes of compromise, condemnation. sexual sin or selfishness; intoxicated with the things of the world, satisfied and content?  Things are not as they appear. The lateness of the hour demands you take a long hard look at what you have become, what you have allowed, what you continue to allow, to come between you and YHWH Yireh/JEHOVAH Jireh.  (with God, to see is also to foresee. As the One who possesses eternal wisdom and knowledge, He knows the end from the beginning. . . . From eternity to eternity He foresees everything. . . . Thus with God foreseeing is prevision. As the Jehovah of righteousness and holiness, and of love and redemption, having prevision of man's sin, and fall, and need, He makes provision for that need. For provision, after all, is merely a compound of two Latin words meaning "to see beforehand". And we may learn from a dictionary that "provide" is simply the verb and "prevision" the noun of seeing beforehand. Thus to God prevision is necessarily followed by provision, for He certainly will provide for that need which His foreseeing shows Him to exist. With Him prevision and provision are one and the same thing."  Thus, "YHWH Sees" becomes "YHWH Provides" or "YHWH Will Provide." The Name and Attributes of God).

The LORD would say:  "You, the body of Messiah, have abandoned your watch. You have fallen asleep and now enemies of Truth have come in. Posing as children of light they have stolen from you what was once so very precious....faith, hope, courage, peace. You have exchanged faith for flash, hope for hype, courage for compromise and peace for apathy. Calculating con men have taken hold of the church, turning it away from The Truth. As they preach another gospel men, women, boys, girls are pulled further and further away from a gospel of faith, hope and love into a gospel of foolishness, hopelessness and lies.  What you know to do you must do quickly. The lateness of the hour demands you examine your church, your pastor and yourself."

"For from the least of them even to the greatest of them, Everyone is greedy for gain, And from the prophet even to the priest Everyone deals falsely. "They have healed the brokenness of My people superficially, Saying, 'Peace, peace,' But there is no peace. "Were they ashamed because of the abomination they have done? They were not even ashamed at all; They did not even know how to blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall; At the time that I punish them, They shall be cast down," says the LORD." Jeremiah 6:13-15

"He who hates disguises it with his lips, But he lays up deceit in his heart. When he speaks graciously, do not believe him, For there are seven abominations in his heart. Though his hatred covers itself with guile, His wickedness will be revealed before the assembly. He who digs a pit will fall into it, And he who rolls a stone, it will come back on him. A lying tongue hates those it crushes, And a flattering mouth works ruin." Proverbs 26:24-28

"But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron..." 1 Timothy 4:1-2
