hoping in princes
Everything this week has been about Obama. Right after the inauguration, I did a couple of articles. I do not plan on giving him a spotlight in or on our web sites in the near future, unless it is so deemed. Our focus is to prepare and warn the believers. We have been warning for many years now and in the process have seen many changes in this nation. There is no doubt what lies in store for America.

Psalms 146:3  Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
4  His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
5  ¶Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:

I can tell you this, the country called America is in dire straights and many do not know this. While we are sometimes hit with many emails on what is going from others who watch this process, many people do not think or could they imagine what is in store for them and others in this nation.

Now I am not a fortune teller or a soothsayer. I do not intend to put up a day by day play by play of what things are going to occur. This is not only unscriptural, but many who do this give ear to familiar Spirits. There is no argument here, so don’t bother emailing me. We are to live by faith. For an example read Habakkuk. However, I can tell you that this nation is going down. The many who trust in Obama and the bankers to bail them out will be disappointed. I am not going to give you a time line. That’s not my job. The Lord said to warn them, That’s what I do. But many who are flag wavers and saw hope in this man will eventually become disappointed in both the system and the ability of man to shrug off these events. For these events are judgment from the LORD God. He is behind them, America and Americans are filthy, the church is lukewarm and many are dead in faith. What we are good at is religion. I will tell you also, if the church doesn’t repent and get back to holiness and the commandments, they will die right along with the wicked. This also is no argument here, so don’t bother emailing me. I urge you to seek the Lord, obey his word, follow it, after all he told us to ‘do as he says’. When judgment does come in its fullness, I believe it will follow what the Lord said when he mention his coming as a ‘thief in the night.’ Judgment upon America will come quickly, in full measure, and many will not see it coming.

Colossians 3:5  ¶Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
6  For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
7  In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
8  ¶But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
9  Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
10  And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

For those who keep the oil in their lamps and the fire burning, then he is your shelter in the trouble to come. It is here as his followers, that we have overcome by the blood of the Lamb, his work on the cross to save us. This fulfilled the Law, but did not destroy that which God commanded. While we are not justified by the law, we are to be obedient to his commands. Just do a word search for commandments in the New Testament and see what comes up. As we follow these in faith and obedience, we also walk in the faith of Jesus and keep the testimony of Christ our Lord. There is no doubt many who call themselves believers today think that they will be taken out in a pre or mid trib rapture. Now I do not touch on these subjects, but if you want to believe that, then that’s your biz. But the truth is, it won’t happen! The Lord is coming, yes! We will meet him in the air, yes!  But you will be here to see this come upon the world, unless you die first.  Don’t believe me! That’s okay, just put it on the calendar the date and time you read this. Keep it! It will testify as to what the truth is!

Revelation 12:11  And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

Revelation 12:17  And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Revelation 14:12  Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Furthermore, I am a Watchman who has a mandate to warn America, the church, and the world. I do this through writing, radio, and our online web sites. This last year we saw a 35 % plus increase on our sites. The last several years we have always seen growth. People come to our sites to read, research, listen, and view materials we have put there. They come from all over the world, including China, Japan, and other Far eastern nations. We also get people from the African nations, European and South American nations, from Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and all over America.

Galatians 5:19  Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20  Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21  Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

In all this our hope, prayer, and desire for you is to seek the LORD, read his word, pray his word, speak his word, and be obedient to it. Fast, and be the salt and light he has called us to be. Set yourself to walk in Love, follow the fruits, and do not sow to the flesh. Let this love have its fulfillment in giving to the poor, afflicted, starving, naked, and those who are the oppressed of societal nations. Give to those ministries who do this, be sure they are given to follow this. Every time you clothe someone naked, feed someone starving, and help someone in need, you are doing it to the LORD himself.

Psalms 46:1  ¶<<To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, A Song upon Alamoth.>>
vs 1: God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
vs 2: Therefore will not we fear,
a. though the earth be removed
b.and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
c. 3: Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled,
c. though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.

The Kingdom of God is Sure and Never moveable!
4  There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
5  God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.
6  ¶The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
7  The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
8  Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth.
9  He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.
10  Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
11  The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

May God bless you and keep you in Him, may you find yourself in him during the coming times of trouble.

Consolation

A Psalm by the Watchman Dana G Smith

In the book it is written.
You have received your consolation.
You are now rich,
But you will become poor.
You are full,
Behold, you will hunger.

You are in comfort,
Behold afflictions shall overtake you.
You are in health,
Behold sickness shall afflict you.
You are drinking and getting drunk,
But your sorrow will be your intoxication.

You who lived in riotous living,
You who lived as if you owned tomorrow,
You who lived as if God is blinded,
You who lived believing God couldn’t’hear,
You who believe nations are unto themselves,
Who make men as Gods and the people become
The pawns of the rich and powerful,
Woe, Woe, Woe, unto thee.

For your luxury shall become your snare.
Sorrow shall overtake you.
Your fears shall demonize you.
For this is the time of the end.
Behold, you have gathered to yourself
Riches, glory, and honor.
None of it shall deliver you,
For you have forgotten to whom you must answer.

You have cast aside my laws,
You have taken up rebellion.
You have not gathered wisdom,
You are preparing yourself for slaughter.
I have called; you did refuse, as did
Israel my beloved.
Look what I did to Israel for her rebellion!
Shall I not do to you as I did to her?

Are you void of understanding that you do not know this?
For the Lord God hath given recompense to your harlotries.
Your day is come; the Lord has answered your rebellion.
Drink full of the intoxicating wine.
Eat till you cannot eat anymore!
Dream today for your sorrow begins tomorrow.

Nations live unto themselves.
Men make themselves Gods.
The Souls of men thirst for iniquity.
The hearts of the rebellious do not cease for mischief.
Awaken my people, seek my face.
For then I will turn away my wrath,
For a moment till you are hid.

Then I shall let my fury rise,
The smelter shall heat the Gold,
The iron will melt, in your iniquity,
Shall you perish.
For the day has come, the wrath of
My vengeance is here.

Flee away if you can,
Hide if you dare think I won’t find you.
For the nations shall quake at my presence.
All the wicked shall perish,
Yes, my wrath will be satisfied.

Sorrow upon sorrow,
Darkness upon Darkness,
The nation that saw a great light,
Now is in darkness.
Woe upon thee O’nation of harlotries.
Thy nakedness is laid bare.
Thy fruits are come full circle.
Now is thy reaping come.

How can I rejoice?
How can I not see these things?
Where will I hide?
To whom will I go?
The priest is an abomination!
The Prophets are harlots!
The churches are full of idols!

Woe upon Woe!
That which Job said aforetime
“That which I greatly feared has overtaken me”
Unto this nation has it happened.
Unto thee O man shall it come.
Because you have forsaken the living God,
Because you have cast aside his only begotten Son,

Ye have thrown off the Lord Jesus Christ,
To go after idols.
To soothe thy lusts.
To forget thy sins.
To comfort thee in thy ways.
Behold, I will make thee remember,
I will show you your sins.
You will understand your ways;
That doing such things will bring death.

Unto you shall I visit these things,
For thus, the Lord God shall judge,
For thus shall he do,
To all who reject him,
The fire of his jealousy shall burn.
The wrath of his judgment will fall.

Flee O man, Flee!
For in your corner shall I uncover you!
As a mouse hiding from a hungry lion!
As a fawn hiding from a starving bear!
Shall I also find you O helpless man.
For in your pride, you have been made low.

I would have done you good,
But you rejected me.
Thus you could have been spared,
But now you will be consumed.

So flee O man, flee.
Run away swiftly and hide.
For the terror of the Lord shall find you there,
For you rejected mercy, now you will face wrath,
Let it now be done.
Amen. Amen.
Blessed be the Name of the Lord God Forever.

Tapping the Vine

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

John 15:1  ¶I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
2  Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

Isaiah 44:25  That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish;

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”.

Isaiah 47:10  For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.
11  Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know.
12  Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail.
13  Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.

The Wealth and blessing of this nation has caused them to go into a ‘failsafe’ mode where we do not think. We believe that our wisdom, knowledge, knowhow, technology, doctors, flu vaccinations, drugs, and all the rest of the American experience will carry us through. Add to that is the fact we myriads of messengers, a plethora of prophets, and gobs of Gods. Many are those who also indulge themselves in the multiplicity of riot and confusion that is caused by all these voices. But least you think that all these voices are good, let me also tell you there is a time when the voices of such will not bring the safety nor deliverance to which those who seek them are looking for.

The example again is Israel who failed to follow what the LORD had told them. They were not to do those things that the nations before them did. It was because of these things the LORD God ‘doth drive them out from before thee’, scripture says. What were these nations? They were gentile! There was a continual habit, practice, and desire for those in these nations to do this. They would and did base their civilization upon this as well. They welcomed divination, astrologers, enchanters, witches, charmers, consulters with familiar spirits, wizards, and necromancer’s. When Israel started to do the same thing, they were in trouble. Not only did the LORD tell them this was an abomination, the fact that they did these things and never stopped doing them was more trouble. For this brought judgment.

Deuteronomy 18:10  There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,
11  Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
12  For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
13  Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.
14  For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.

When the prophets came along like Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel they decried this ‘harlotry’. For the people of God were not consulting their own God on matters. In fact their hearts were atuned to demons and spirits which were in rebellion against the LORD God. Isaiah even said as much to Israel on this matter saying that “evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know.” For all of this they were doing and all those they were seeking, It would not do any good. They could go and seek all these ‘enchantments’ and ‘sorceries’, matter of fact, Isaiah told them in no uncertain terms to do just that [see scripture above from Isaiah]. He said that the judgment will come upon you and you will not know where it came from. Mischief will fall upon the nation and you will not stop it. Then finally desolation shall hit you full scale and you will never see it coming and not be able to stop it.

In America we have intelligence agencies and many resources, plus laws since 9-11, to stop desolation in the form of terrorism and related activities. We never saw 9-11 coming and many today blame the government conspiracies for it. The truth here is, more is coming. When the final scope of judgment comes, all the intelligence, resources, soothsaying, astrologers, sorceries, and enchantments will not stop it. It is not that we are like Israel. For we are not, Israel was a Theocracy, America is or was a constitutional republic which became a democracy and is becoming worse than socialist Russia or China. When Russia steps up and accuses us of becoming socialist then there is trouble afoot. When both Russia and China seem to be more in control and freedoms seem more plenty in those nations than here, there is trouble. Yes, America still has freedoms, but daily what we had is being eroded. The fact is, judgment is here and ongoing. Nothing will stop it!

We had a caller who joined the Warn Radio program not too long ago. This person was from South America. He had inquired of what we thought of the ‘Mayan Prophecies’. Now there is no doubt that many today hold to these and also the calendar. But understand these were a bloody and warring people. Yes they had some knowledge, but where did it come? It came from the one to whom they sacrificed humans in bloody rituals. Today around the world people ignore the source of the prophecies and the method of how this people obtained the knowledge. Can they know something? Sure, even the devil and his minions know what is coming and that they will rule this world and the people for a short while. It is not a stretch to think they can pass prophecy on to seem as light. For we know even the devil can appear as an angel of light. I find only one source, the LORD God, none other. You do what you will, but as for me, I shall look unto the LORD God of my salvation. If you are just looking for a light or a voice from the other realm, then Satan will be able to fill that need. However in all this, as a believer, we must know in whom we believe, walk as he walked. We must not become caught up, overcharged, that is in the cares of this life that we forget all this. Watching and Praying always. We have been specifically told to watch!

2 Corinthians 11:14  And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

The Word is clear on this matter. The truth is, only those in the True Light of Gods Word will know what is coming and what is happening. The Day of the LORD will bring darkness and judgment, but it is a day that as believers should not catch us unaware, that is as a thief. Unless, of course we are asleep, as the foolish virgins, or maybe we have not been watching and praying as the Lord commanded us to do.

You are not in darkness, but in light, therefore walk in the light as the Lord did!

1 Thessalonians 5:4  But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that day should overtake you as a thief.
1 Thessalonians 5:5  Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
Acts 26:18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
Ephesians 5:8  For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:

Don’t become  overcharged, caught up in the cares of this life that this day catches you as a foolish virgin or one in darkness!

Luke 21:34  And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
35  For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36  Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Scripture further points out that ‘He frustrates the liars, makes diviners mad, and makes knowledge foolish’. Further it is here we must understand that as Israel sought such people, just like many in the USA does including church members, that the things they tell you are false. Although we have covered in times past how that such people can actually bring false words to pass and also give signs and wonders to confirm a word. This is what the Son of Perdition will do to convince people he is God as he sets himself up in the ‘temple of God’ as God!  There is a time though during judgment that God not only frustrates, but he even stops the heavens from telling these false ones anything. As calamity comes, the seers, diviners, false prophets, and others who cling to these methods will be ashamed and confounded. The reason is, their visions will be gone, all answers will be dark, and the false prophets will stop what they do. Again, here let it be noted, ‘There is no answer from their God’. This God, of course is not the LORD God, but Satan himself and the cohorts of deception. God the LORD will put a stop completely to this.  A note here, as people talk about the Mayan prophecies and calendar, be sure to understand their calendar stops at 2012 or there about. God’s calendar doesn’t stop at all! From this standpoint, God saw to it the Mayans could see no further than this!

Isaiah 44:25  That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish;

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.

There was a time in Israel when the LORD God stopped all visions and divinations from certain sources.  This confirms as well what Micah says above. Below Ezekiel spoke this word to Israel when the prophets who were false prophesied contrary to the True Word of the LORD.

Ezekiel 12:23  Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision.
24  For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.
25  For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD.

The False prophets who spoke to Israel had been put in a deep sleep, a coma if you will. All their words and visions came from their own bosom and familiar spirits.  They then reach a point where they cannot read nor discern what is going on!

Isaiah 29:10  For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered.
11  And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed:

It is here you must understand those who do not hold to these scriptural truths which are upheld in both the law [*commandments] and testimony [*testimony of Y'Shua] then these who provoke others to follow such false ones are of those who have no true light in them and are in darkness themselves!  *see Revelation 12:17!

Isaiah 8:19  And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?
20  To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
21  And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward.
22  And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness.

Further The LORD God judges men, he knows their hearts. He surely knew when Israel had sought after idols and he knows our hearts today. Their idols become a stumbling block of their iniquity. Yet Israel came to Him and also sought their other Gods as well. This was a way of shoring up the bet, in other words, if one failed, then they had another. But God stopped this and indeed as they sought him, having set up idols in their own heart, the LORD said “I  the LORD will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols.” This applies to Prophets as well who come before the LORD with idols in his heart. If they come and be deceived when they speak a thing, then the LORD says “I the LORD have deceived that prophet”.  In both cases it says the LORD will judge him severely, ‘cutting him off in the midst of his people’, ‘destroy him from the midst of my people Israel’. Why? By doing this, then they would know that ‘I am the LORD’, says the Lord!

Ezekiel 14:3  Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumbling block of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them?
4  Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols;
5  That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.
6  Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations.
7  For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a prophet to enquire of him concerning me; I the LORD will answer him by myself:
8  And I will set my face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
9  And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
10  And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity: the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that seeketh unto him;

Therefore be wary and careful to whom you seek or you might receive both the delusion and the judgment! There is no doubt we are lax in this in America and our own wealth, religious traditions, and rebellion will bring Gods judgment to the LORD’S house before he judges the wicked.

I finish with some words of promise for the faithful in heart! Below are prophecies by Isaiah that see future fulfillment for those who truly Love God and do what he says!

Isaiah 35:4  Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.
5  ¶Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.
6  Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.
7  And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.
8  And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.
9  No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there:
10  And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

Isaiah 35:4  Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.
5  ¶Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.
6  Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.
7  And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.
8  And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.
9  No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there:
10  And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

Revelation 12:11  And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

1 John 5:1  ¶Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
2  By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3  For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
4  For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
5  Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

1 John 5:19  And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
20  And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
21  Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.

“When Hell comes knocking, a message for the times in which we live, preparing for what is coming, that  which shall come to pass shortly”

Luke 4:5  And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6  And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
7  If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
8  And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

Revelation 1:9 ¶I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ

When one considers hell, it is true, many do not consider it at all. The fact is, as Americans anyway, hell is that somewhat vague representative of a bygone era. One where death, destruction, and ever lasting torment reside. It gives forth the belching of fire, volcano’s, heat, sulfur, and darkness.  As for Americans, sinners and hell have been replaced by fun and a do it your way mentality that has even invaded the church.   The question then must be asked is America too civil to become a devil’s house? If it does become such or maybe as many believe it has already become one, what then? Will events in the nation become to change the very structure of this American society? I tell you and many who have seen the current political landscape have already seen the change. For years we have seen all forms of invasion to this nation, from outright debauchery to the illegals who have come to these shores to obtain what they can from this country.

Case in point here is Obama’s Aunt, who up till recently, was an illegal resident living on the east coast. In one interview that I saw, she mentioned in so many words, ‘that this country is under God and her living free on the nation here is part of God taking care of her’. Well she and many in this country also see things this way. They never consider the fact that free money doesn’t exist and it comes not from Obama and the government, but from the working men and women of the nation called America. Of course, the current Prez as I call him was brought into power to foment that change. We have witnessed this change in the form of a gradual coast into socialism. It seems like Stalinism has moved into the White House. The current situation in America is one where I tell you that “Hell will come knocking.” When it does, those who did not listen before will have to take notice of it. For the escape from it will be difficult if not impossible. For the America you and I have come to know, is for all intents dead. Many try to bring it to life again as they pump air, give it mouth to mouth, and put it on life support systems. But even if it does manage to stand up, it will be a mere shell. It will more ‘the walking dead’ that the nation our forefathers came to see arise from the dust.

Indeed, as I write this the cool October chill is reminding me of the November elections. Many are hoping that in this will bring the order of Obama’s change to an abrupt halt. But on Obama’s side and many in the Democratic and even among Republicans, the hop toward a gradual socialist agenda has been in the works for some time. Many do indeed want what Obama offers, especially many illegals in the country who see it as their ticket to all those things America has become to the nations. That is wealth and prosperity.  But the one thing many forget, that is, many who don’t believe in hell, judgment, sin, or even God, and that is the nations are not in control. The one who governs is in control. Whose that you ask? Need I say, well here it is!  What occurs will be in the hands of Almighty God, the LORD! In the end, there is no man, woman, or child that can keep alive their own soul. All is in the hands of this God. Even nations cannot keep their own soul, when the governor of the nations has sent down judicial judgments upon it. Surely, if you don’t know it by now, it has already been sent! That doesn’t mean the end tomorrow, but it means, all that is in this nation will be subject to and affected by the Word of the LORD that has gone out in regard to America.

Psalms 22:28  For the kingdom is the LORD’S: and he is the governor among the nations.
29  All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul

There was another time when “hell came knocking”. Jesus was in the wilderness and after a 40 day fast and prayer, the enemy showed up. Hell itself dressed in subtlety, the devil saith to the Lord; “All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.” All of the nations, the men, the thrones, the gold, silver, armies, and all the glory that a man or even a woman could obtain belong to the devil, according to his word anyway! Now you who are believers, know today that things are different. That in fact, the LORD destroyed all the power of this evil one and brought down all principalities and powers.  All in one fell swoop that began before the foundation of the world.

Colossians 2:15  And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

Ephesians 1:4  According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

But make no mistake here, the devil was the chief opposition to the freeing of man from sin, death, and the grave. Not to mention, that many men and women today are also the chief opponent to the freeing of mankind from their sins.  That is why today, as it was in Jesus time, “hell came knocking”, not to really win, for I believe the devil knew all along he would not win. The idea was to see this one who called himself the “Son of God” and challenge him. Maybe he could get lucky again, like when he deceived Eve and thus brought down both Adam and Eve with one fell temptation. Nevertheless, it really doesn’t matter whether the devil knew he could win or not. The fact was, he was used of God to demonstrate power and authority. The devil was one of the main principals that Jesus “spoiled” having made a “shew openly of them”.  The battle was not even close, the devil lost scoring not a point to his side.  Today, though, his lies and his minions who follow him have succeeded in scoring victories in the world. These have been to bring the battle of the “faith of the Gospel” and the “kingdom of our Lord” to a forefront. The devil will and has come knocking again. This time, he has won over America. Maybe not lock, stock, and barrel so to speak. But he has “powers in the high places” of this nation. Men and women who are sold out to his ways, for gain, glory, and led by a blindness that only God can remove. As you and I walk in the faith of the Lord and follow him, those in power in this nation are already making plans to shut up the Gospel of Jesus Christ and his followers.

Ephesians 6:11  Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Within this is the media. Examples of what I speak about can be found on our www.ddayforamerica.com, video blog. Here we have many short video’s of news, and related clips of people that have their purposes to follow. For example one post is of ABC News which recently did a 20/20 special titled “Islam: Questions and Answers,” with Diane Sawyer, Bill Weir, and Lama Hasan. The program drew attention to moderate Muslims who will serve as America’s “first line of defense” against terrorism. The problem was that one major Muslim they portrayed was on video time and again on the streets of America denouncing our country and speaking of Islam.

In another example we have Robert Steele, a CIA Officer who tells it like it is
on the New world order, government, secrecy, congress, conspiracies, central banking, and Military Industrial complex. In it he warns us of America, the government, the CIA, and the New world order. In still another post we feature Americans for Peace and Tolerance (APT), who had just released a video showing 6th graders from Wellesley, MA as they rise from prostrating themselves alongside Muslim men in a prayer to Allah while on a public school field trip to the largest mosque in the Northeast. Teachers did not intervene. Parents have not been told. While Christians can barely speak of Christ, testify, and read bibles, let alone have the Ten commandments in public, our nation and schools are indoctrinating kids to Islam.  Finally,[and this is not all that we have], here is one more example. It is found on our www.wingswatchman.org site. It features a very short clip, under one minute and it features Anjem Choudary saying to a forum sponsored by a UK media with Christiane Amanpoure on it, saying that the “Flag of Islam will fly over the White House.”

You see “When Hell comes knocking” and it already has, your world, not only in America, but the nations of men themselves shall be engulfed in it. When this occurs, the question needs to be asked, what about you? What are you going to do? What will be your answer to the many warnings of which we and others have spoken.

We have been warning for years. The first time I spoke about what was coming to this nation was to my wife around 1973 when I told her of a series of visions I had as a young man. The full extent was not known then, only that “life as we knew it in America would cease.” Not that life, or man would cease, but that life as we Americans knew it, would no more exist. This is just one aspect of what we warn today, but the substance of what we have been warning is knocking on the doors of your house. They are shouting through the airwaves and coming into your home via television, radio, and shortwave. You read their stories, voices, and their messages in the news.

Yet for all this, I believe the listeners fall into these camps. The first camp are the ones who know it is coming. They are preparing both spiritually and physically. They know to make it, it will be by the Grace of the LORD and his provision. The second camp are those who can be called believers, and may or not be actually born again, but they either think they will be gone at the time of this or they think it will not occur till the very end of all things prophetic. Then there are those who don’t think this will occur at all.  These are the main camps of those who live today, spread in these are smaller groups of varied philosophies and persuasions on this matter.

One thing for sure, it is coming and to this, we must also be sure, that the Lord is the key and who is the Lord to you? For me, it is Jesus Christ, Yeshua Ha Massiach. He is the only begotten of the Father. He came to this earth, revealed the Love of the Father, fulfilled prophecy and the law, did many miracles, testified to the generation, was cruelly treated, even to death, the death of the cross. Was buried, rose again, and ascended to heaven and is on the right hand of the Father. He is coming soon again to establish the Throne of David, and the Kingdom of God.

1 Corinthians 15:3  For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4  And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
5  And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
6  After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
7  After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
8  And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.

It is to this I testify and will continue to testify to all men as God gives me strength. For the kingdom builders and the men who build them hate the LORD. They hate that there is only One Savior between God and man. That savior, Jesus Christ, Yeshua Ha Massiach, the only begotten of the Father. They hate that “all men have sinned” and thus need a savior. They hate that there is a hell and know by themselves they cannot make heaven. But they continue in their delusion.

Today, there are many religions with their own brand of ‘Savior’ with people who wait for them. One of these kingdoms, is the ‘Islamic Madhi’. It is their belief in a one world Islamic sharia rule. They also believe it will become a real one world rule and very soon! In that rule, they see America and the ‘Madhi’s flag’ over the White House. What people don’t really know is, the “flag of Islam” already flies over the White House! I did a Newsletter on this some time back. In that kingdom, only their way counts. Anyone not making allegiance to their God will die!  Others believe in a ‘Catholic’ reign on earth, where the ‘Catholic church’ directed from the Vatican will rule all its children, the gentile churches. Still there are others who see man’s technology and mans knowledge as the true ‘heaven on earth’. It will be through man, they say, that the world will find peace, safety, and harmony. To this end, many plot to bring in their kingdoms on earth.

I do not plot. I know the Lord will bring in his Kingdom in a given time. When the “Kingdom and Patience” of the Lord has been fulfilled we will see it on this earth. I intend to stick to what I must do, keep his Word,  walk with Patience, and keep the faith of Jesus Christ. Even to the end. When Hell comes knocking what will I be doing?

Revelation 1:9  ¶I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ

Revelation 11:15  And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

I intend to be praying, seeking the Lord, speaking his word of truth, and doing all I can to be accepted of him. To be found in him faithful. Do I worry, I try not. If my flesh thinks upon it, the flesh is weak and I rebuke it, then quote scripture. For I stand not upon Flesh and Blood, but upon the Word of God; the Son of God and his faithfulness.  For when the nations meet the Rock, the Stone which the builders rejected, it is the nations and the men in them that will lose. All those, however, who have put their hope in him, shall be with him, in his kingdom, forever.
So when Hell comes knocking, remember these words, “faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.” What will he do?  “The Lord will preserve your whole spirit and body and soul unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

1 Thessalonians 5:23  ¶And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
24  Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.

Ephesians 6:12  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places

Striving for Faith of the Gospel

“The united front for the completion of the proclamation of the Gospel of Christ to all nations”

-Don’t be terrified in any way of your adversaries
-It has been granted on the behalf of Christ to Suffer

Conduct worthy of the Gospel

Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

Philippians 1:27  ¶Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;

There is one thing our brethren in the faith left us, that is legacy. Both to do and to die, for the cause of in the service of Christ Jesus our Lord from whom all things flow. It is here that in this day and age we must put away all things which do not fit this cause. In America the faith of Christ has become a spectacle show that consists of gaudy and carnal displays. These displays bring forth in heroic measure our evangelists, messengers, prophets, teachers, and pastors.  Within this group is myriad folks who all claim Christ in varying dubious ways from mysterious angels to gold dust, to riches if you give me money. All based upon the fairytale church and the sugar plum Jesus as I speak of it.

All of these things speak of a place and a time that could of only occurred in the days in which we live. A society that is given over to every pleasure under the sun. It is, of course, unnecessary to go into the horrid details of the carnality in the nation we now live. In a time long ago, where our faith started, in the place of the Romans and the Jews who were left, our Savior saw to this time and declared to all men that would listen “to take heed to yourselves”.  It would be a time when mens hearts, and the hearts of women, as well, would be full of the day in which they lived. Time would be spent in pleasure, eating, drinking, and tending to the personal cares that belonged to them. They would eat, sleep, and think of these things with the things of God afar off. If they did think of any God, it would be a God that allowed such things. To this end they would never consider hell, only heaven, and certainly not wrath, but only love.  In this society, the current carnal wave of secular christians became even worse, and was made into a fairy tale that even most Christians overseas can’t understand how the American church became that way.

Luke 21:34  And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares

To this end, I speak directly to those in the faith, the current faith of Jesus Christ. One of disciple ship, sacrifice, and the cross of Jesus Christ. One where motive is heaven driven, with the scent of Christ, an aroma of his sacrifice on the cross and his leadership for us who are left. In the last days, be sure, God will have a people. I believe that the sorting of the wheat and chaff for the final thrust to the end time deliverance, salvation, and proclamation of the gospel is soon to be revealed. Indeed it will be a time or reaping and sowing, but it will be a time when the true blades and fruit of the wheat will hang heavy as they reveal the crop being readied to harvest for the Lord.

It is in this we must as one, push forward. Unified and with our minds one, striving for the ‘Faith of the Gospel of Christ’. This is not about you and I, nor about denominations. It is not about nations, but about men and women, boys and girls, along with the teens of today in this perverse society. It is about reaching those who will listen, not with gimmicks but with the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I know this power and so does my wife. It is that power which has changed our hearts and with his Spirit led us to this place. We are on the precipice looking over into the devils playground where myriads are being led right now. The man made gimmicks, the intrusion of Satan into the Sanctuary of God, and the illusion therewith will try to destroy many. The coming Son of perdition [destruction] will lead the world in the abyss of mockery. A world where the masses will follow and believe what he does and says. They will do this because it is a world that has rejected the “love of the Truth”. This Truth, is Jesus Christ, our LORD, and we are the ones, those who are his, who will lead the soul saving fight for the “faith of the gospel of Christ.”

John 3:16  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18  He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19  And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20  For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

We will not win nor be effective if we do not face the oncoming onslaught with faith, the gospel of Christ, and in unity. Standing together in one faith, for the cause of Jesus Christ, with one Spirit, the power of the Holy Ghost, and with our minds firmly made up in Christ. For we will face enemies, not one but many. We will face disturbances, attacks, hatred, variance, strife, and much more. But we must stop the childish ways and stand up, united, with faith, together for the “faith of the Gospel of Christ”. It is that Gospel, which brings men to salvation and the knowledge of our Father and God, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Don’t be terrified in any way of your adversaries

Philippians 1:28  And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.

Today the world is weaving back and forth with the uprisings of the people of other faiths and ideas. We have many who are waiting for their version of Salvation 101, the New World. There are faiths of others, and of other Gods. There are hopes and dreams of men and women who hope in another God. There are spirits, demons, and men who are led and possessed by them to bring in these end time kingdoms. The world has been fighting varied forms of terrorism for years now. The world is seeing the rising of Islam, and others rule the day for the coming Catholic kingdom as well. Along with this the Jews wait for the Messiach to come, even though, he has already come. They wait though. We as believers in Christ Jesus, Yeshua Ha Massiach wait for his return to set up his kingdom on earth, ruling the Throne of David in the millennium.

History is replete with Christians being fed to lions, pulled apart by horses, trampled by elephants, shot by firing squads and more. We have the history of the church and personal witness of books like Foxes book of Martyrs to prove it occurred. The theme we find in these all, that although the believers saw betrayal and death, we find spilt blood and an overcoming faith. These stood the test, as their captors sometimes did inhumane deeds to their body. Amidst these tortures, some recanted, while others stayed true to death. In these all, over the centuries we find that amidst the horror of death, there was a power that no human could understand. For they stood there and endured these things unto death. The same thing occurred to our Lord Jesus Christ who endured the torture, mockery, and death on the cross. The Apostles stood and fell as martyrs for Christ, with the exception of John, who died in old age. Steven the first martyr fell and saw the Lord at the right hand of God.

Acts 7:55  But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,

Acts 7:56  And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.

If we are to win in these last days, it behooves us to follow Christ Jesus so closely that his power is in us and flows through us. That even in the event of such a death, we may be found in him, faithful to the end. As Christ says in Revelation to us:

Revelation 12:11  And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

There are many, for example Islamic terrorists who have cut off heads, slaughtered people because they were according to Islamic faith, “infidels”.  They cause terror and fear to flow among peoples and nations.  The sign of the crescent for many can mean either life as a Muslim or death because your not one of them. Make no mistake about it, the war that is coming is about faith. There are many faiths and even among Christians there many with varying faith. The question for you to answer, where is yours? In the face of the devil or man, can you stand for Christ. I tell you, on your own you cannot. But we must understand our God and Lord will not forsake us, we are given commands to “love not our lives unto the death”. We will all face death, either natural or unnatural, so the end of it all for each of us remains in the Fathers hands. We are his, live or die, we are his. Let us therefore, understand we have “overcame by the blood of the lamb”, and that in this overcoming, we live by and relate to all men we can, “the word of our testimony” of this Lamb of God, Jesus Christ.

In the face of death, hatred, scowls, mockery, persecution, and anything the devil can hand to us, we are more than conquerors in Christ who loved us and gave himself for us. Both history and men who lived that history has proven that Christ and the Father never forsook them. Now let us move forward in the closing realm of history and give the “testimony” of our Lord, to all “men”declaring the “faith of the Gospel of Jesus Christ”. In doing this, we may, through all means, win the lost to Christ.

Romans 8:33  Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.
34  Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
35  Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36  As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37  Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38  For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39  Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

It has been granted on the behalf of Christ to Suffer

Philippians 1:29  For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
30  Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.

There is one message that many do not like to hear, that is suffering. Paul suffered much, and was met with many obstacles. Yet in all this, he overcame.  For Americans and many others in the modern nations like this one, suffering is not on the agenda. It is something we may think about, but for many, it is to be avoided. Yet for the early church and even among believers in other nations, suffering is part and parcel of their living. Some months back I reported on our Tuesdays World affairs prophecy news show of three young girls in Indonesia who were found with their heads cut off. They had been heading to school when confronted by Islamic terrorists who found the perfect jihad in these three young innocent girls. So for the sake of their god and their faith, they killed these innocent young believers. All of whom are now with their Lord in heaven. Yet, these girls did two things wrong, not only were they Christians, but they went to school and were girls, both of which were not permitted.

It has been said the church in America is six miles wide and only one inch deep. At times the carnality and showmanship faith we see on the television and in the meetings surely make it appear that way. The parable of the sower seed found for example in Mark speaks specifically the types of seeds and the results of the sowing of these seeds. Yet I speak directly of the seed sown on stony ground and the seed sown among weeds. Here we find that which was sown on stony ground had no root, so when persecution or affliction for the words sake occurs, they become offended and fall away. For those among the weeds, the cares of this world, the deceit of riches, and the lust of other things enter in, thus choking the word. Those who are these, become unfruitful. That is why we see an anemic and carnal church in America. We have not even seen persecution so to speak. What we have seen is the cares of the world, deceit of riches, and many lusts. America is full to brim with all of these things. What’s more, these things have crept into the churches. They come in by deceitful spirits, lustful demons, and men possessed by such things. They enter in, naming the name of Christ, yet they belong to belial, the devil.

Mark 4:16  And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
17  And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended.
18  And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
19  And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

Moreover, in this parable is also the ones who bear good fruit. The seed sown was on good ground. One in four seeds in this parable, only one, fell on good ground. That is 25%, if your putting the calculator to it. Yet for those who are such, they hear the word, then receive the word, and thus bring forth fruit. If your one of these, then scripture says you will bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred. But notice, it is not one for one. One seed, one fruit, but fruits many, borne to one good seed.

Mark 4:20  And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.
21  ¶And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?
22  For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
23  If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

To one person [on good ground], who hears the word and receives it, and brings forth fruit, to them is the multiplicity of the kingdom of God. For The word given will not return void, but that word of God given or spoken will accomplish what the Father wills it to do. In this you can be sure and certain.

Isaiah 55:11  So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Ours is not a carnal battle, even though we may face suffering,  death, or  persecution, for the gospels and the words sake. Although we may indeed face men who hate us for our faith and in whom we have that faith, namely Jesus Christ our LORD, ours is to stand fast with faith. Because as we look at them, with boldness, compassion, and even love, speaking our ‘testimony’ and the ‘faith of the gospel of Christ’, it will be to them a token that we are speaking truth amidst death. This will be a light to those watching that the word we speak is true, and that truth is found in the one whom we testify too, that is Jesus Christ. Testifying even unto the death. In this, not one hair of our head will perish, so says scripture. It will be true, in our death will be found life. That life, no man takes away because it is in the Lord Jesus Christ, Alpha and Omega. He has the keys to death and hell and also to  heaven and the kingdom of God.  Amen, even so let it come Lord Jesus and your Kingdom.  To God  be the glory and honor, through Yeshua Ha Massiach, amen, forever.

Luke 21:17  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.

Revelation 22:11  He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
12  And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
13  I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
14  Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15  For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
16  I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
17  And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

Graduation-Day
“There is a day for all believers, in fact, for everyone. A Day when they will finally graduate, from one existence to another.”

By the Watchman
Dana G Smith

Note* before you read this, take care to understand this is just a prose, a story, to present a truth. It is not an actual dream or vision but it is part of the prose.

Luke 21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

Luke 21:25  And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26  Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27  And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28  And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

The days have been long and as I stood there, wonder and awe filled my soul. For as I looked to the heavens, the past days of the signs in the sun, moon, and in the stars faded. I also forgot the distress in the nations, for all the trouble that had been going on. The heavy seas, with their waves, during hurricane season hadbeen tremendous. Yet for all this, I suddenly lost track of everything. For as I stepped out of my refuge where my family and I had taken up shelter, the heavens seem to disintegrate. The very powers that held them together seem to come apart. The earth and its horizon looked to roll up like a scroll as the heavens peeled back. The day was dark, yet not light. So too, the night was light and not darkened. As I looked up a great white cloud, so dazzling white it blinded the eyes as I strained to see it. Then as lightening peeling down from that great sight, lo, I beheld a white horse with a rider, and behind him the armies of heaven. The light streaming out from all corners was brilliant as I stood there.

Now alongside me were my family and friends as the day arrived. Joy leaped in our hearts. Singing  broke out now, for at long last Messiach had come. This is Yeshua, Jesus Christ, the Son of G-d. Out of his mouth went forth a sharp two edge sword that with it he should smite the nations. Now coming from the sky, all eyes beheld the event that people have waited for since he rose in a cloud ascending to his Father. Those men in white who saw the disciples watch him go said of this Jesus:

Acts 1:11  Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

Now this was the generation that had been challenged to stand up for his name and welcome in the Son of G-d, the Alpha and Omega. It was now that the throne of David would be filled before all nations and peoples. Yes, we were the ones who had met that challenge by faith in our God. It was now, at this moment, as we stood there, we knew it was ‘Graduation day’.

The nations are not as they were so long ago, even though it has been mere years and not decades. For the battle had been ongoing and those who remained fought the fight by faith and stood the test. But the real miracle was the L-rd who bought us. It was he who ‘sealed’ us. As the judgments rained down on the rebellious and wicked, the L-rd kept his own safe. These were those who, he said were to ‘keep the commandments of G-d, and have the testimony of Jesus’. This was our faith and patience, as we walked during the most horrific times on planet earth. The L-rd said of this time that it was a ‘snare’ upon the whole earth. In this ‘snare’ caught, like rabbits in a trap, the nations found themselves fighting against the L-RD G-d . It was the L-rd who kept us as his Spirit moved in us mightily so that the ‘faith and testimony’ of Jesus Christ was paramount in all we did.

Revelation 12:17  And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of G-d, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Revelation 13:10  He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

Revelation 14:12  Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of G-d, and the faith of Jesus.

Moreover, it was the goal to get the message out to the ends of the earth, to all nations for a witness to our G-d and Savior. Yet in this, many were martyred. I remember reading in chapter Six and verse 9 of Revelation that in the opening of the fifth seal, there was revealed under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the testimony they held and for the word of G-d. I never thought I would make it this far, that is to the end alive. Yet in all the prison captivity, the eventual escape, and the gathering of the elect, here we were, by G-ds grace. The many years before all this, which now stood as a distant memory came flooding back. I remembered those times warning people before the great cataclysm hit America in waves. That was when we left with many believers who literally ‘went out from that place like a flood’. It was in those days we kept close to our hearts the words of Revelation that told us, “we were overcomers!” In chapter twelve and verse eleven it says of those at that time, that “they overcame by the blood of the Lamb, by the word of their testimony, and they loved not their lives unto the death.”  We literally used this verse as our formula to make it through. Whether we lived or died did not matter, what did matter was that we overcame by the blood of the lamb, were saved, and we knew it. It was equally important that we kept the faith and testimony of Jesus Christ.  Many were prepared to do this even unto the death. Many of my brethren in fact passed on. Being martyrs for the L-rd.

Revelation 6:9  ¶And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of G-d, and for the testimony which they held:

Revelation 12:11  And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

John the revelator once fell down at the sign of a messenger of G-d, as he did so, the man said “see thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship G-d: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”  It was this fact that prophecy spoke of Jesus Christ, clear from the beginning in Genesis, with the seed of the woman.  It was from there through all the prophets, then to the Apostles, and now to us standing here as we beheld the glory before us. Indeed the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. For prophecy testifies of him!

Revelation 19:10  And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship G-d: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

As I stood there, the White horse and rider came closer. I did not notice but we had suddenly lifted up by the Spirit of G-d and now were before him as we saw on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS AND L-RD OF L-RDS. This is the Word of G-d. For John said of him, in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with G-d, and the Word was G-d! His vesture, or cloak was dipped in blood, and out of his mouth went a sharp sword. As we neared we were immediately sat upon horses behind the Word of G-d, who now went forth to conquer. In this was the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty G-d.

Revelation 19:13  And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of G-d.
14  And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15  And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty G-d.
16  And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND L-RD OF L-RDS.

I had been so busy looking on the L-rd that I had not noticed my family or those with me, but they too were sat upon horses as we filled in with the armies of G-d behind the Word of G-d. I had no time to figure out how I felt. I could not describe it. The joy was unlike any human joy I had ever known. The light now beaming forth blinded all on the earth as we could plainly see those below who hurried and scurried in terror. Then in one fell swoop of light with a blinding flash below, they were slain.  I saw the beast, the false prophet, and the devil, taken away.

As I came near to Jerusalem, and unto the mount, I could not help but remember how we longed for this day. Now it had come. All the days of seeing the prosperous hand of the wicked. All those times we barely escaped. The times of beatings, prison, and for many death. The times had beaten us down, our physical strength for the most part was always drained. We spent many hours in fasting and prayer as we battled the supernatural hosts that assailed us.  Many times I was so weak I thought I could not go on. Death would of been welcomed, but an inner drive by the Spirit of G-d lifted and pushed me on. We saw many miracles, signs, and wonders performed, which came by the hours we spent in prayer seeking the L-rd. We found out the L-rd demanded of us faith and strength, fortitude and the desire to please him. We just did not see these things happen by themselves. They had come through the dedication of disciples in prayer, fasting, and keeping the Word of God. We had literally learned to walk in the Word as our L-rd had done.  Even though, there were premiums set out by our enemies for our heads, we by G-ds provision and protection continued on. Our one goal, to keep the faith of Yeshua and the testimony of our great Savior. This alone was enough to make enemies. But we also saw many come to the L-rd, right up to the time of the ‘great marking’ in which the whole world went after the beast. It was at this time we knew our Savior would be returning shortly. Now, here we were! Graduation day, at last.

I had come to call it that long ago. Right after the Spirit whispered to me that ‘everyone has a Graduation day.’ Many are not prepared for it. Some graduate to the heavenly, others do not! Although the L-rd G-d commanded all men to repent, sadly many ignored this and his love for all mankind. We spent hours talking about ‘Graduation day’. For everyone one of us knew, in the end, G-d would put us in that place where we must ‘keep the faith, testify in Jesus Christ’ and do so even if it meant our lives. Many times, it meant just that. For I had lost many a brother and sister this way. Yet, we knew that one day, we would see them. For these, they had ‘graduated’ in a fine way, going out of this wicked world with Jesus Christ on their lips and in their heart. That made our enemies so mad. How could we face death with peace and a smile. The more they killed us, the larger our group grew. For the L-rd seem to add daily those who would be saved.

If the devil killed twenty of us, through the testimony of the martyr, forty would come to the L-rd. It was truly the hand of G-d. This continued until the very last moment when in fact the only two groups on earth were those with the mark and those who were sealed. It was at this time, the ‘night’ came in its fulness, for no one could work. We spent time in prayer, fellowship, encouragement, and waiting patiently for the L-rd Jesus Christ.

As I came close to the Mount called Olivet, a bright light came directly at me. The closer it came, the more I was blinded, until, Yes, there he was. The Savior, I was in fact standing in his light. I was not blinded. As I saw his eyes, the scars of the crucifixion were visible. The love of the Savior enveloped me and I came close to him. My soul leaped as if a young calf. I burst, as the tears came, he touched my forehead and gathered them, gently putting them in a bottle. I heard him speak, as he did, my heart leaped again. There is a time for men to stand up for the thing which they desire. A man cannot serve G-d and mammon.

Your day has come, and now, behold it is the hour of your destiny. It is this to which all men will give account. The day has passed, but it has found that you indeed, ‘overcame by the blood of the Lamb’, the very blood I shed for you. You have given testimony of Me, Jesus Christ and have kept the faith which had been set before you. You were granted not to lose your life, but to see my arrival, yet on many occasions you were willing to give up your life while you kept the faith which I have commanded. In this, you were faithful, even with patience. This is your graduation day, that day which comes to all men. A day when men are  held accountable for what they have done.

I listened with awe, as the love with which he spoke came alive combining with his words. Truly, they poured forth as Spirit. I knew his heart, that in Him was pure love. It is the Love of the Father, he said as I thought on this.  As I looked up, all of this vanished.  I was laying in bed, it was then, I knew, it had all been a dream.

James 1:3  Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

Revelation 13:10  He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

Revelation 14:12  Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Graduation Day, it draws close for all the souls of men. How much more so for those who in this end time face it with certainty that all is coming to an abrupt end. That in this end is a new Eternal beginning. Are you ready? For your Graduation Day draws nigh!

Revelation 22:14  Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
