Habakkuk 2:4 Behold, his soul [the proud] which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2:9 Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil! 10 Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned against thy soul. 11 For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it. 12 Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity! 13 Behold, is it not of the LORD of hosts that the people shall labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity? 14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

El Nasa-Naw-Saw-The God who Forgives

The Watchman — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 15:22:31 +0000

By The Watchman Dana G Smith Words:2042 Keywords: LORD, God, YSHUA, Yeshua, Jesus, Christ, Ha Massiach, mercy, forgive, vengeance Psalms 99:6 ¶Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them. Psalms 99:8 Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions. 9 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy. Psalms 147:11 The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy. God is not have to do it, did He? He could have left Israel in Egypt with Pharaoh under bondage but he did not. He could have raised up a people from among other peoples and tribes, but He did not! The fact is historical today, the Hebrew’s were delivered from bondage to the Egyptian’s long ago. It is funny today as we look back on all this and the discussion about the Hebrew’s in Egypt sometimes remain around how could they of build the Pyramid’s, drag the large stones into place, and do all that building. From Egypt we also get the ancient ‘conspiracy’ tale of the Masons. We get so much from Egypt, myth, legend, and man’s idea’s. But lost in all the secularism, hype, and talk is the fact of a Sovereign God, called Yhwh, or Yahweh, who had a covenant with a person name Abraham. It was a personal commitment, one of law, righteousness, and Gods faithfulness to his Word.

WITH PEACE HE WILL DESTROY MANY

The Watchman — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 17:32:10 +0000

Yes, everyone wants peace, and there has probably never been a time when so many false messiahs and so-called peacemakers have come to the front of the stage, proclaiming the change towards a new world order in which all humans will be treated fairly and with equality. Who would not want such a world? Barack Hussein Obama is doing this masterfully, reaching out to all religions, to the young and the old, the poor and the rich. 'No more walls of separation and discrimination,' he promised the crowds that gathered to hear him in Berlin, and thus he has continued, stretching out his hand to the whole Muslim world in Cairo, and later standing with the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, and Eli Wiesel at the horrendous site of Buchenwald, to proclaim that what was done there is not the way human beings should act. In his speech, Wiesel asked the question: has the world of today really changed and learned this lesson? Of course not.

The Peril of the Age, the HOPE amidst the Storm

"in your patience, possess ye your souls"

Hot prophecy News & World affairs, seeing the day approaching, informed and prepared!

-

Luke 21:12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.
13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:
15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
16 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren
, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.
17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.
18 But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
19 In your patience possess ye your souls.

Jude 1:14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
15 ¶To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

In the midst of the Land

'In the midst of the Land, I will bless thee Oh, LORD God, my Salvation!' A Psalm by The Watchman Dana G Smith In the midst of the Land, I will bless thee Oh LORD God, My Salvation! Bless the LORD, He is my refuge. He alone is my strength. For when trouble arises, The LORD also rises to help! In the midst of the Land, I will bless thee Oh LORD God, My Salvation! Deliverance is our God, His name is Salvation. His mercy is Everlasting, His Faithfulness is unto us. In the midst of the Land, I will bless thee Oh LORD God, My Salvation! For He loved us first! He came unto us. Even when we deserved it not, He came unto us.

"Perilous, Perverted, and Personally horrendous"

Is this what society has become? A society that will never be able to come to the knowledge of the truth! "Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretence, raised in the United States." --Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution, 10 October 1787

2 Timothy 3:1 ¶This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Jude 1:14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, 15 ¶To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

Tapping the Vine

The Watchman — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 16:01:57 +0000

'Making Wine from Unrighteous Grapes' by the Watchman Dana G Smith Keywords: LORD God, Christian, churches, spirits, gods, prophets, judgment Words: 3457

Micah 3:6 Therefore night shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them.
7 Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded: yea, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer of God.

When I speak of 'Tapping the Vine', I refer to making wine from unrighteous grapes. That means there are Christians and whole churches who follow this practice. It simply means that they, instead of being filled with the 'sweet Good Wine' of the Holy Spirit, which flows from the Good Shepherd, Y'Shua, Jesus Christ himself, they look after other Gods. For some time now I have covered the trouble with seeking after prophets, soothsayers, astrologers, and others who prophecy and make predictions of what is coming. Simply put, Christians today are not fully persuaded and in fact I believe many have not been taught that there is only one fountain we should go to. This is the same fountain Israel was told to go to. The difference today is we have the 'blood of the covenant' fulfilled through the Messiah Jesus, Y'Shua. We also have more fuller revelation of this salvation through the LORD and the arrival of the Holy Ghost on Pentecost. All this should be enough to bring the church in America to her senses, but it is not! Add to this, many just sit there in the pews and do the religious thing and really not seek the true Vine and his nourishment. Without Him, we can do nothing. Today the sad fact is, the people in this nation and even the church, "has trusted in their wickedness and wicked ways".

The Lord is God,
Yea he is good,
His mercy is everlasting.
His generosity is based on righteousness,
Unto all men is given!
Yes, it is given but not received!

Down will the enemies of God be,
True, His enemies will fall on that day!
He will reign true and supreme,
The MOST High, the Everlasting Father,
Our Faithful LORD, it is he!

WARN Special Presentation: 'The Rapp'n Show' Straight from the sixties come this special show from WARN Radio. A time when we would sit around the lake as youth and discuss, we called it 'rapp'n'. It would last for hours and even several days. It was time of change. We did not trust the government, did not like the war, and also did many things we should not of. But by the grace and mercy of God, many have come to know the ONE True God and Jesus Christ is Son. This is both personal and relational, in that he is our Savior [from our sins] and LORD[who gave us commands to follow], so we do as he has commanded.

"Hitler, UFO's, The USA, and Operation paperclip!"

Isaiah 29:15 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?

The History:

During WWII Hitler made major strides in technological warfare. Had he been a little quicker in his development then the world would of seen the Anti-Christ [the beast] earlier than planned. He had major developments in Rockets, time travel, missiles, the Bomb, UFO's, fighter aircraft. Where did he get such info? Why? What was he trying to do? Was there a hidden agenda from the other side to bring in the Anti-Christ [the beast] earlier than prophecy had predicted? The bottom line was it was not the proper prophetic time line for this to occur. So the plan and Hitler was defeated.

The US Involvement:

After the defeat of Hitler's regime, his research scientists and his method [psychics] who contacted what they thought were alien life forms were brought to the USA under Operation Paperclip. It was this move that brought in the 'physic warfare, alien contactee's, and a rise in US technology.

The Premise:

Today we have seen a President who swept into office via a 'supernatural' power. Are there currently forces in the other realm that are using the US power to do again what they tried with Hitler? That is to bring in a New world and the beast who will rule? All the technology is here! Will America be the most powerful nation on earth to actually do what no other nation has done before, which is to bring in a One world kingdom and the dark king to reign? All this being possible by the dark forces that are using alien and psychic phenomenon to allure and fool the people while having the technological capabilities to captivate and capture the world!

Coming Out of the Elect

keywords: Elect, God, LORD, Jesus, Christ, Gentiles, Babylon
words:2359

Today the witness is growing daily as more speak out against the possibility of America staying as it is. Especially in the alternative media, television, radio, and the internet. The only ones who seem devoid of knowing what is going on is the media big three or four should I say. These would be ABC news, NBC news, CBS news, and Fox. Then add to this CNN, and myriad of newspapers who also seem to be in a fail safe mode. That is, the blindness, one sided approach, and socio-economic agenda that relates more to Stalin era policies than our own Constitutional Republic, which today is virtually dead. The consensus seems to be that we are or have been a Democracy, but today with our current administration in the White house, the socialist agenda and European political aspirations have taken over.

Of course, the above statements come from my belief that what is going on is the judgment of God upon this nation. As well, that this judgment will continue in waves and as a woman in the heaves of birth, called lovingly ‘birth pangs’ here. But we know that during the ‘birth pangs’ there is nothing loving about that. In fact, it brings the one giving birth to near death in the birthing process, so to speak that is. This nation today, no doubt, along with all the nations will face the most traumatic times in history.

IT IS ALL FOR NOTHING

The Watchman — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 15:14:00 +0000

By Jan Willem, ICZC

I cannot believe that a nation endowed with so much intelligence can be so self-destructive. Listening - as I do - to all the debates about which is the best way for Israel to go at this time, I am amazed at the utter idiocy of the solutions proposed by both the Gentile powers as well as some Israeli politicians.

What is the reason? How can a nation endowed by the Creator with so much intelligence be blind to what is so clear for any person who has the honesty to face the truth to see?

Let's begin with the unintelligent notion of the two state solution being peddled so hard now via George Mitchell in the name of the new Obama administration. Wasn't this notion tried - for almost three years! - under the leadership of Ehud Olmert's government, which often demonstrated its willingness to give the Arabs about 97% of the so-called occupied territories? And it failed in spite of Olmert's unbelievable willingness to make painful, very painful sacrifices.

That the Obama administration refused.

And that just over one week later, America was standing on the edge of a potential nuclear conflict with North Korea, which test-fired an atomic warhead and launched a handful of surface-to-surface missiles in a defiant show of force.

Renewing the Mind

The Watchman — Sun, 31 May 2009 14:57:33 +0000

"A Process of Restoring the Spirit and Rescuing the Soul!" By the Watchman Dana G Smith keywords: world, spirit, renewing, LORD, Believers, mind, Holy Spirit Words: 3757

Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Hebrews 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: 1 Peter 1:13 ¶Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

There is no doubt today that the believer that does conform to the world will be an unbeliever, a lukewarm Laodacian Christian, or even an unbeliever in time. The world seeks to bring the believer far from the roots that should hold him or her. It's [by this I mean the world, the devil, demons, spirits, and the flesh of man itself] attacks basically come in three areas of life: 'lust of the flesh', 'lust of the eyes', and 'pride of life'. The enemy of our soul attacks our biblical roots which are grounded in the Word of God, Prayer, and a life of leading and nurturing by the Spirit of God. In this life as believers in Y'Shua [Jesus], belief and faith are paramount. "For without faith, it is impossible to please God, for those who come to God must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him" ~ Hebrews 11:6. In this verse we find co-equals here, namely 'faith' and its brother 'belief'. Without these we are lost. How can we belief if we have no faith and how can we have faith without any belief? But as Christians, let me say this, we are more believers than Christian. Why? Because I know many Christians who are not believers, yet for the believers I know, they believe, and they are also Christian. Maybe a play on words, but the truth remains that today in America, the Christian faith is close to idol worship and carnality. It is rooted and rotted in the nation of America where the 'sugar plum gospel' and the 'fairy tale Jesus' sit around in a haze of unbelief and convince themselves everything will be okay. This is the time of the Laodacian church, no doubt, but we also have the 'Dead' Sardis church here as well. This is why, for those who will 'believe', and have 'faith', they must learn to lean on, rely upon, and trust in the Lord more than ever. Not giving themselves over to mindless thinking, or to men's tall tales, or to doctrines of men which are wrong, but they must learn to 'renew' their minds in Christ.

ABOVE THE MURAL OF ANNUNCIATION

The Watchman — Wed, 27 May 2009 17:26:07 +0000

ABOVE THE MURAL OF ANNUNCIATION by Barry Chamish The pope had a lousy time in Israel. The plans for Pres. Peres to hand him sovereignty over six places in the land were shattered thanks, in no small part, to my longterm readers like Dr. Daisy Stern, Bob Kunst and Prof. Hillel Weiss. They successfully informed the Israeli public of Peres' Vatican perfidy. And as for the Peres/Papal land seizure, curses, foiled again! The pope was plenty ticked by his disappointment and immediately blamed Israel for his crummy tour: Vatican seeks answers for low turnout for pope's Jerusalem mass Roman Catholic Church officials say they would like an explanation from Israel for the poor turnout at Pope Benedict XVI's open-air mass in Jerusalem last week. Monsignor Antonio Franco, the papal nuncio in the Holy Land, said Thursday that church officials are still trying to figure out what happened. He says he's received reports that worshipers with tickets were turned away at the entrance while others received their tickets too late. Some 5,000 worshippers expected at the May 12 mass next to the Garden of Gethsemane but no more than 3,000 people arrived.

The race is on as people seem to be ready for anything to happen. Yet, that day shall not come except the "great falling away" and the "son of perdition" shall arrive!

1 Thessalonians 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6 ¶Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ

Footprints

Footprints A psalm by the Watchman Dana G Smith

Footprints in the earth walking side by side
How have I made it thus far?
One of those are mine, the other is yours,
Oh LORD, how fast it has gone, life I mean!
I remember the times you did nourish me,
I know the times you lifted me up,
Then there was the correction you gave,
To this end, I fared well.

I see the life go on day by day,
Life in its courses, life rehearsing its actions,
Man living, man breathing, man dying,
But in the end, after it all, life has vanished,
Quickly, in a moment, How did I spend it?

1 Corinthians 15:19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable

Was it in your service?
Was my life selfish?
How did I really count the hours Oh Lord?
Did I ever think that it would end so abruptly?
Why have I been so foolish?
Why did I not learn quicker?
Why have I not done all I could have done?

The Footprint of Man

The Watchman — Sun, 24 May 2009 15:48:00 +0000

"You hear of the Carbon footprint, well there is another one"
By the Watchman Dana G Smith
Yes it was in the beginning that God, brought forth the earth, the heavens, and all that therein is. It was this sovereign, just, and true God, whom then was known yet unknown. For when man first came, out of the earth so God formed man, then woman afterwards. Thus the relationship began between God and man.

Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Genesis 2:18 ¶And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. Genesis 2:22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

Yet in this, man today does not rely on the veracity of it. Especially the bible and as the 'naysayers' hold to 'Darwinism which opposes creationism.' In this, for those who believe, that in the Lord God all things were created according to John 1, this is what matters most. The bible for many today is Gods record of what happened and this is our copy of that record. Today, however, man does not in mass see this as truth, nor what it details as the sin of man nor his start.

"A lesson in Kingdom Priorities" By the Watchman Dana G Smith
The other day as I came to stop at the local tire dealer thoughts of finishing this tire repair were utmost. It had been another day, one that began early, very early. The night before our tire went flat and the businesses were closed that repaired them. I always have a tire repair kit with 'vaporized glue' that goes into the tire via glue and air. This stops the hole nicely, but the tire needs repaired. So the next morning here I was. I walked into the dealership and a guy was reading the paper, no one was at the counter to take my job order. I stood there a minute or so and nothing. The guy reading the paper finally came behind the counter and smiled saying "I will find someone to help you." "That's Good, I thought to myself" as I looked around the showroom filled with tires and rims. A guy came up and started to take my order. As I stood there watching the man try to find our account in his database, he looked up and said, "I'm in the M's now." This referred to the accounts, of course, and I waited for him to get to the S's. Finally in the group where our account was to be located, he could not find it. I went out to the car and found the last receipt from this dealer when they did work for us, on the corner was the number. I went in and gave it to the counterman who had given up taking our order and now, though I went in first and was first to be waited on, now I was second. But the last of two. So here I was, the last, though I was first. I waited, getting a little troubled that this guy so quickly shoved my business to the side and took another customer, but as I waited the Lord gave me this, "The first shall be last and the last shall be first."
