End Times Witnessing: signs and times revealed to watchman (2) -message to Mark

The revelation and answer from the Lord continues. The watchman woke another morning to receive more specific answers to his prayers. He was led to read Jeremiah’s Lamentations on the previous evening thinking that he was reading for Israel. However, this was clarified this morning.

He was still sleeping but the Spirit was already in conversation with his spirit. They were discussing the signs of end times. Then he was told that Lamentations was for the churches today too! He jumped out of bed and went to his prayer attic which points towards the direction of Jerusalem.

He was pointed to the state of the churches where the younger generations are starving and thirsting because there is no word from the Lord, no living water, no fresh bread from heaven. The priests, prophets  and leaders are the culprits. They defiled the temple with bloodshed, the blood of their flocks to whom they have said foolish and false things and save them by not pointing out their sins. Instead, they painted false pictures, filling their people with false hope. (Jeremiah 2:14, 4:13)

The modern churches are described as, “once so full of people, is now deserted. She who was once so great among the nations now sits alone like a widow. (1:1) Her oppressors have become her masters and her enemies prosper..Her children have been captured and taken to foreign lands. (1:5) The enemy has plundered her completely, taking every precious things she owns. She has seen foreigners violate her sacred Temple, the place the Lord had forbidden them to enter. (1:10)

Are these not the apt descriptions of today’s Europe, UK? Even USA?

Where are the younger generations? They are bodily parked here but their spirits are in the virtual lands of the digital world. They are not yours. They are not Christ’s. They belong to somewhere else, another kingdom, instead of the kingdom of God. Churches and Christian territories have become desolate and eventually taken over by foreigners to worship other gods.

The following disturbing revelation has shaken the watchman. Jeremiah 5:8 declares, “Slaves have become our masters“. He was then led to read Genesis 9:25, “May Canaan be cursed! May he be the lowest of servants to his relatives.” He was told that this sign relates to what he read the previous day in 2 Thessalonians !

He wanted to tell the Lord that this is not politically correct and he would not want to ponder further, but the Lord is merciful and patiently led him to read the Book of Galatians! Indeed, Jesus Christ has redeemed all believers from all curses, even the curse on Canaan.

Galatians 2:20 stipulates how one can receive this freedom, “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life that I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” 2:6 assures that “God shows personal favoritism to no man.”

Gal.3:26 “You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.” 4:6-7 proclaim, “and because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, ‘Abba, Father!’” “Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.”

So there is no distinction between any tribes or groups or nations or origins of people as long as they are in Christ. If they opt outside Christ, then there is a distinction. The Jeremiah’s verse applies. The ‘man of lawlessness‘ described in 2 Thessalonians comes from a position ‘outside Christ’, not ‘in Christ‘.

Ephesians 3:6 promises, “The Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body and partakers of His promise in Christ through the Gospel.”

The morning’s revelation session ended by one very crucial confirmation of visions he has seen two weeks ago. He saw a number of snow and winter scenes then. The Lord asked him to make sure his household has winter clothes. This is now confirmed by 2 Timothy 9-13, 21. Paul was urging Timothy to come as soon as he can. He asked him to be sure to bring the coat He left with some brethren, also his books, and especially his papers. In verse 21 he reminded Timothy again, “Do your best to get here before winter.”

Paul also spoke something very interesting, “Only Luke is with me. Bring Mark with you when you come.” (4:11)

The watchman has a doctor (like Luke) around and he has a relative named Mark! So, Mark, please take heed of this message and prepare your winter clothes (not necessarily for natural winter).

End Times Witnessing: Liberals, Totalitarians and Spiritual Remnants (Vision Revised)

The watchman knew this day would come. He was reminded twice within two consecutive nights. “You just have to deny yourself. Yourself is blocking your advance in your quest for eternal life.”

He has been reading up on the frightening but seemingly inevitable impact of a very disciplined and fast growing wild fire kind of belief. The world seems to have gone one full circle.

Liberalism has given a false security to many in history that the golden days on earth will be when everyone can be free to do what he wants and thinks for himself what is best for him. Every one can choose what lifestyle he wants and what definition he means by living a good life. After all, are not more and more men being educated and civilized? Is not the world being more and sophisticated in science and technology?

Alas, this ‘ideal’ is not to be. Just look around and one cannot deny the fact that many more in this world are being deceived, pulverized, oppressed, suppressed, terrorized, coerced, bullied, enslaved, even dehumanized. Many have not been able to rise above the mire they are subjected to for generations and the slime and grime have no end. The advance in external material realm have not brought advancement in the higher quality of human hearts, such as, kindness, generosity, neighborly love, charity, mutual respect and honor, sharing attitude, gentleness and tender mercy.

Unlike the liberal elite who might survive as one man anywhere on earth (until now) perhaps, the majority of masses have opted to adhere to some form of totalitarian rule and order as a survival strategy. As one individual, they cannot access any power base. As a mass of people adhering to one faith, one ruler, they can. Indeed. they become one formidable power group.

Do not be surprised, to many, it is preferable to live on basic physiological needs than to die for conceptual ideals such as individual human rights or liberty. Many do not have the word, ‘concept’ in their mental dictionary.

Can liberals live on individually without the use of other groups for long in this world? Not very long. The days for the individuals seem numbered. Liberals by nature and lifestyle are not cohesive enough and cannot form any sustainable power group to rule effectively. Reproduction is one big weakness. Liberals are not able to reproduce and multiply their followers (even by birth) as fast as others can.

*However, totalitarians need only a few liberal elites manipulating a large group of masses who follow them blindly or under coercion. How can the elites not be detected? Easy, just hide in the powerful, long established and well organized systems of various religious beliefs (mainly the only two mega ones in the current world). *

NB: * This above revelation was received by the watchman just now (22nd September 2010) This ties in with what Jesus and the Apostles have warned the Christians. Daniel 9:26-27 and 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 specified their characteristics. 1 John 4:3 declared that the spirit of the Antichrist indeed is already here.

Fundamental Christians have woken to the truth that unless they turn back to the old path of a theocratic society they too will perish as a physical entity. In the beginning when God first formed a power group He decreed that they lived a God-centric life style. Being God-centric means submitting all values and aspects of living to your God (and His Word). Otherwise, you will will just like the liberals. Soon you will become no more as a power group. You will be assimilated into the one dominant totalitarian belief power system which will govern all aspects of your life anyway. Unless you are part of the elitist Antichrist system you will be just an oppressed and powerless pawn within that system.

For Christians who opt out of the above mentioned totalitarian system, they will become a small remnant as few will be willing to follow this very narrow gate and difficult path, living by faith and by the Holy Spirit, just as Jesus has predicted. Remnants will not become a big power group in this world. They are pocket size. they do not have a permanent base. There may come a time they do not have a place a rest their heads. Remnants will not be threats to any mega power groups. They will not be noticed. They are more like the third class passengers on an ocean liner, being clustered in some lowly and humble corners out of sight and out of mind of the system of the world.

Many remnants will be outside the ‘camp’ of the world’s system. They will not have access to the world’s social and economic system. On the other hand, they will live supernaturally. They follow exactly the Word of God and live the supernatural life style as demonstrated by Jesus and His disciples, and as witnessed by many before them (all the men and women of faith as recorded in the Bible). 

Can others join such a free life if they do not want to be in the world totalitarian system? Yes, you may, only if you deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Jesus Christ.

Ponder on the verses for today as below: Luke 9

Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ

¹⁸ And it happened, as He (Yeshua Christ) was alone praying, that His disciples joined Him, and He asked them,
²⁰ He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
Peter answered and said, “The Christ of God.”

Jesus Predicts His Death and Resurrection

²¹ And He strictly warned and commanded them to tell this to no one, ²² saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.”

Take Up the Cross and Follow Him

²³ Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily,^[a] and follow Me. ²⁴For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it. ²⁵ For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost? ²⁶ For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own glory, and in His Father’s, and of the holy angels.

Jesus Transfigured on the Mount

²⁷ But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God.”
²⁸ Now it came to pass, about eight days after these sayings, that He took Peter, John, and James and went up on the mountain to pray. ²⁹ As He prayed, the appearance of His face was altered, and His robe became white andglistening. 
³⁴ … a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were fearful as they entered the cloud. ³⁵ And a voice came out of the cloud, saying,“This is My beloved Son. Hear Him!”

End Times Witnessing: Let your heart burst forth with new songs for the Lord amidst the stormy waves

Today the watchman heard, “Let your heart burst forth with songs amidst the storm! sing, O watchman!!”

Isaiah 25:5 You will reduce the noise of aliens, As heat in a dry place; As heat in the shadow of a cloud, The song of the terrible ones will be diminished.”

Psalm 68:1 [ To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. A Song. ] “Let God arise, Let His enemies be scattered; Let those also who hate Him flee before Him.”

He was surrounded by unceasing broadcasting waves of alien prayers and festive proclamations of the greatness of alien god(s). He knew in his spirit that the noise could become more and more intensive until the earth is swarmed with these noises (like locusts). So he drove away from the city and burst into a new song for the Lord God Almighty in heaven, his strength, his shield, his rock.

The melodies come without his own effort. He has never read music. He merely let the Spirit of Christ take charge and submit to the beautiful sound in his spirit.

Singing to the Lord is required of all Christians. “Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts.” (Col.3:16)

Having been given this gift of effortless singing (with a ‘divine voice-box’), he is able to fulfill this requirement miraculously, considering his previous ‘handicap’ in this area of specialty.

He sang and prayed that the same new songs be burst forth in every Christian. He believes this is a free gift for all believers of Jesus Christ, since everyone is required to sing according to the Scripture.

He heard in his spirit, “Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin, to see the plumb line in Zerubbabel’s hand.” (Zech.4:10)

Yes, your mission is to sing new songs to the Lord. You don’t need any musical instrument. You only need the Holy Spirit. “Then he said to me, “This is what the Lord says to Zerubbabel: It is not by force nor by strength, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.” (Zech.4:6)

In a recent vision, he saw the power in spiritual song sung as the Spirit of Christ moved. The song was in praise of the goodness of the Lord God Almighty. In the spiritual realm the light of God manifested and destroyed all darkness hidden in the midst of God’s people.

O Christians, believe! Sing! (You need to practice now as one day soon you will need it to survive)

You are honored to sing for the Lord as described in Revelation 14:3 “They sang as it were a new song before the throne, before the four living creatures, and the elders; and no one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed from the earth.”
