Watchman's letters: Oppression under fake Christianity

Dear Uncle Jack,


Now that my head has cleared a bit more, I am beginning to remember some of the sermons.

Ps. Susan preached on the sins of Jeroboam.

She said that the sins of Jeroboam truly grieved the heart of our Lord because the Lord kept mentioning this sin throughout the book.

Jeroboam's sins can be summarised into 3 Cs:

a) Convenience

b) Compromise

c) Counterfeit

It is linked to today's modern Christianity.

Jeroboam's led the entire nation of Israel astray because of his own deep-rooted insecurity

He did not want the Israelites to go to Jerusalem to worship the true and living God for the fear that they will defect to Judah.

1 Kings 12:28

So he invented a religion of Convenience by setting up two golden calfs for the Israelites to worship. And the Israelites easily fell back into idolatry as were the habit of their ancestors.

Many Christians also opt for the religion of Convenience today, only to end up feeding on the wrong sermons that will eventually lead their children astray.

1 Kings 12:31

Jeroboam made priests from every class of people, (or low class people as per some bible translations), who were not of the sons of Levi.

This is a clear compromise on the ordinances of the Lord.

The Levites were specially chosen by the Lord to serve as priests because they could put the Lord above their own brothers and people. When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the first set of the Ten Commandments, the Israelites have already reverted to idol worship and it was only the clan of Levites that stood up for the Lord.

1 Kings 12:33

Jeroboam changed the Feast of the Tabernacle by keeping the same month but changing the date. It gave rise to COUNTERFEIT religion.

Due to Jeroboam's sins, the successive fifteen generations of kings after him went back into idol worship and eventually, God allowed the whole nation of Israel to be destroyed.

The irony was that although Jeroboam created this 3Cs but when his own son fell sick in 1 Kings 14, he sent his wife to look for the prophet of the true and living God to inquire for his son.

He knew what he did was all fake and yet, he instituted a fake religion that eventually destroyed the nation of Israel.

That's all for now.

Love

End Times Witnessing: Narrow Gate Plumbline -The Spirit says, listen! No more ‘CRAFT’ (MAGIC OR PUPPET)!

The watchman woke from a nightmare today, which he had not encountered for a long long time. Prior to that he was up at 3-5am interceding for his church. Then he asked the Lord to tell him what he needed to write for his blog. He went to bed and slept for about 2 hours. He had a dream.

In the dream he was with a group of people at a seminar after which they were caught without air ticket to fly home. So they decided to fly to another destination from where they could catch another flght for home. He was in his room (located in a hospital/medical center. Next to his room was a clinic with people waiting to see the doctors) packing and then he realized he had to give instruction to the one arranging the travel. So he climbed the stairs and went a floor up to speak to that person. He left his room door wide open and his money and travel documents on the table! He knew he should not be doing this but he did it. While talking to the travel person his spirit reminded him of the verse “the thief came to steal, kill and destroy.” (John 10:10). So he raced down the stairs, and alas, his room was not there anymore. The place became another waiting hall for other clinics! He was so frustrated that he shouted and woke.

He knew the meaning of this dream. It was about open door to the enemy by being disobedient to the words of God. The enemy conveniently came in to steal, kill and destroy. He repented immediately. Then he was reminded of a warning word “Craft” (pointing to travelling magic shows performed by a senior pastor of a mega church from Asia). He received the warning verse from 2 Cor.4:2.

During a recent seminar he quietly asked the Lord about the correct way of teaching his own Bible class (whether he should use some of his management training skills and technics, like ‘mind mapping’). On that occasion, the Lord answered him through flashing through his mind the warning word ‘CRAFT’ followed by the above same Bible verse (2 Cor.4:2) and also the Spirit-led speaker suddenly blurted out one statement, “Do not teach unless you have revelations!” (The speaker was at that time talking about totally different subject and referred to 2 Cor.4:3-4 on the subject of how ‘the god of this world had blinded the unbelievers’ minds’)

2 Cor.4:2 (Amplified Bible) “ 2 We have renounced disgraceful ways (secret thoughts, feelings, desires and underhandedness, the methods and arts that men hide through shame); we refuse to deal craftily (to practice trickery and cunning) or to adulterate or handle dishonestly the Word of God, but we state the truth openly (clearly and candidly). And so we commend ourselves in the sight and presence of God to every man’s conscience.”

HERE is the WARNING: to WHOEVER who preaches/teaches the word of God using crafts, tricks and cunning instead of stating the truth openly, clearly and candidly. This warning also applies to churches which use magic or puppet shows to teach Sunday School children. The frightening part is that you are opening your church door to the enemy to come in to steal, kill and destroy! The word of God must be preached the way Paul and other Apostles had preached, openly, clearly, and candidly.

Paul declared, “For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is God’s power working unto salvation to everyone who believes..” (Rom.1:16)

By going to the world (which is under the devil) to learn and use the world’s way you have submitted to the evil spirits behind the ‘crafts’ or ‘idols’.

God’s word is more than sufficient to convict and save. By not turning to the mighty power of God’s Spirit-filled Word, you are committing the sin of unbelief.

(The watchman shudders here.)


Here are some Bible verses evidencing how God views at ‘craftiness’.

Ephesians 4:13-15 (New King James Version) 13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; 14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, 15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—

Job 5:12-14 (Amplified Bible) 12 He frustrates the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise or anything of [lasting] worth. 13He catches the [so-called] wise in their own trickiness, and the counsel of the schemers is brought to a quick end. 14In the daytime they meet in darkness, and at noon they grope as in the night.

Genesis 3:1 NOW THE serpent was more subtle and crafty than any living creature of the field which the Lord God had made. And he [Satan] said to the woman, Can it really be that God has said, You shall not eat from every tree of the garden?

Luke 13:32 And He (Jesus) said to them, Go and tell that fox (Herod) [sly and crafty, skulking and cowardly], Behold, I drive out demons and perform healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day I finish (complete) My course.

1 Thessalonians 2:2-4 (New Living Translation) 2 You know how badly we had been treated at Philippi just before we came to you and how much we suffered there. Yet our God gave us the courage to declare his Good News to you boldly, in spite of great opposition. 3 So you can see we were not preaching with any deceit or impure motives or trickery. 4 For we speak as messengers approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News. Our purpose is to please God, not people. He alone examines the motives of our hearts.

Revelation 18:22 (On the New City of God) The sound of harpists, musicians, flutists, and trumpeters shall not be heard in you anymore. No craftsman of any craft shall be found in you anymore, and the sound of a millstone shall not be heard in you anymore.


________________A word for watchman prophet:

How not to be a false prophet?

Jeremiah 23: 22 If they had stood before me and listened to me,

they would have spoken my words,

and they would have turned my people

from their evil ways and deeds.

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: three days of many visions for a watchman

The night of many (eight) visions could only happen to Zechariah, the watchman once thought. He had once seen about eight or nine visions on one sleepless night. Some of them related to family matters and some on matters pertaining to God. But he was young in the Spirit then and could not understand.

Recently he was given the same opportunity when he attended three-days conference for intercessors/watchmen. The number of visions and the frequency overwhelmed him. He tried to record some and most times he could only give thanks to the awesome God.

The  visions came as soon as he closed his eyes. There were so many and he just could not keep count or ask the Lord what they meant. However, some were clear and meant something so important that he had recalled and recorded them.

Vision One: Vision of Fiery Darts and Fishes

During the time when the name of Yeshua (Jesus) was lifted high (in songs) and the prayer leader (an elderly veteran grandma intercessor) led the group and cried out the name of the Lord over and over, while singing and praying in the Spirit, the watchman saw fiery darts like meteoric shower flying at lightning speed at a shield above the leader's head. They were coming at full force but were all quenched. Then he saw numerous fishes (countless like the meteoric shower) flowing toward the entrance of a large pipeline in the ocean, all being drawn and sucked into the entrance from all over the ocean. All these went on as the name of Yeshua was being lifted up.

Vision Two:  Vision of crosses and churches

The watchman asked the Lord to show him a cross. Then he saw a cross in shadow. So he asked the Lord what it meant. He was told that it was a sum total of the the crosses in the participants. The next day he saw a cross outline. The second day afternoon he saw a cross with bright light and one stained with spots. He was told the bright one was a sum total. But the one with spot was one stained with the blood of the Lamb of God (prior to that vision he was reading the verses of the Lord's shedding His blood to save us as he was concerned by the 'holy laughter' (the joy of the Holy Spirit manifesting) of some members. The lone cross (with the blood) was in answer to his concern.
He also asked to see his own cross: on the first day he saw half a cross. The second day he saw the whole cross (wooden with grains) and it was really close-up like a 3-D screen being scrolled showing parts of it stretching from top to bottom. But he could not see the foot of the cross as it reached down to further depth.

Vision Three: Different perspectives of church building and crosses

On the last day he saw two perspective of  church (individual and corporate body of Christ) buildings. In the first scene he saw a huge wall with a small gate. The wall is so huge and tall and he could not see its top. He was told that he is building this in his Bible class and for himself (and his family) too. The walls stretch heaven-ward and will totally separate them from the world (its system) and fulfill God's requirement.
In the second scene he saw an aerial view of churches. They are blocks of squarish buildings, all in darkness and have no details. Everyone looks the same, all lining up like factory buildings. But they all have a cross-shape empty courtyard space in the center. The cross is what the Lord sees from above. As the watchman looked, he saw one cross-shape starting to build a fire (altar?) and he could see golden flames sparkling and thin line of the top of it to reach upward to heaven (the flames are the prayers of the church like the altar of incense). In another church instead of bright golden flames, black smoke came out and also rose to the sky. It was really quite a frightful sight to see from the aerial view. Nothing matters except the sum total of what matters to the Lord.
None of the church stood out for their building structures and constructions or sizes (number of congregation). They were all the same square boxes, same dark colors, all line up like waiting to be inspected. Viewing from heaven, only the cross is visible. The rest is blurred and undistinguished.

Vision Four: Snow and Winter everywhere

It was the first time the watchman saw snow scenes occurring so often in his visions. Wilderness. Snow-covered  streets emptied of lives. Snow-covered landscapes. During the teaching by a speaker on end times, he saw her standing in the wilderness, half shielded by dark trees (or bushes), while an avalanche of snow rolled toward her and soon her leg were half covered in snow but she continued preaching.

Vision Five:  The Lord on His throne on eagle wings

This was a wonderful and beautiful vision.  The watchman saw the Lord Yeshua (the King of kings) sitting on His throne, in brilliant light and the throne was on a pair of eagles wings. The eagle wings stretched across the whole horizon and there was no end to its tips. The wings covered the whole ocean and the bright light was atop the wings. The ocean could not even stir a wave. It was totally subdued.

Vision Six: Crystal Sword of the Spirit

He saw a Crystal sword when a speaker was preaching the Words of God.  The beautiful transparent sword appeared behind and and he was astounded. He was told it is what the Sword of the Spirit look like, not like human sword but pure and sharp (like diamond) and cuts through every stronghold.

Vision Seven: Spirit Song Banner

While a person burst into a spirit song, it was soft and gentle, but indeed powerful. He saw a vision of a banner (sort of golden) above her. Then it began to suck in a long thick line of black cloud (or smoke), like a magnate and the dark thing was simply sucked in to the golden banner and vanished as soon as it touched the banner. Soon there was no darkness left!

Vision Eight:  The Vision of end times star war

It was a puzzle at first when the watchman saw an outer space shuttle scrolling over the screen of his vision. Then he realized it was because the songs and prayers for all nations were sung and prayed.  This is the first time he sees such high tech vision of how all nations are being covered. The earth is merely a tiny globe and it is a view from above that he has never seen before in the spiritual realm. Later when the song asking the Holy Spirit to pour down on all the world's nations, he saw another vision. This time he saw longish missile like shapes of lights in rolls flashing across the screen like scrolling over a vast outer space. Again, a very high tech presentation of how all nations are to receive the pouring of the Holy Spirit.

The watchman of course had other personal visions which he could not share. But he had learned his lessons too, indeed a very large one on the last day. The Lord was merciful and delivered him.
