Luke 8:10  And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand

Parable of the Two Beasts

In the land there abode towns, cities, and fields. In this land the Masters had the hire of the land, for if anyone would do service, they must be under a Master. The Masters hired servants to keep their fields, to dress it and bring in the harvest. Also given to them were beasts called burden. Everyday the servants would pick up the beast named burden and carry it to the field. Once their they cared for, nourished it, and took it with them as they worked.

But in the land there abode a Good Master who had also hired servants. But this Master was unlike any of the other Masters in the land, for he had mercy on his servants and brought in a beast name ‘grace’ to make their load lighter.  When the servants went to the fields, ‘grace’ carried them along the way. Grace would take their loads, carry them, and relieve the load upon the Good Masters Servants. All day ‘Grace’ would work alongside the servants helping them, and taking the load from them as they gave it to ‘Grace’. But soon there arose a division in the Good Masters field for there were servants who had learned to do fields with ‘burden’. They despised the ones who used ‘Grace’ and called them weak. After while these got rid of ‘grace’ and became like the rest of the servants in the land. They would pick up their ‘burden’and take it to the field, and all day long they gingerly would nurse it, take care of it, and overtime, ‘burden’ grew even bigger. To this all the servants were happy that they had greater ‘burdens’. Until one day, their ‘burdens’ had grown so big, they no longer could pick it up. Since they could no longer work, the Master of those servants cast them out.

So too, there are my servants who despise my grace, they take upon themselves burdens and have refused my hand of mercy. When I have said, “take my yoke upon you, for my yoke is easy, my burden is light”, you have said, “I want to carry my burden”.  When I have said “my grace is sufficient for thee”, you have said “I want my burden, I will carry it.”

Matthew 11:29  Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
Matthew 11:30  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Hebrews 4:16  Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

The L-rd says to you, surely, my mercy and my grace brings to you favor, strength, and supply for all you need, yet you do not walk in it. For you have taken ‘burden’, nourishing it, carrying it, and seeking its increase. Then you wonder why you cannot carry it. The L-rd says “put down thy burden, take my yoke, for it is easy and my burden is light. Learn of me, saith the L-rd.” “For my yoke, my mercy, and my grace is my favor towards you. Let my grace carry you, it is sufficient!

It is more than forgiveness,
It is provision,
It is rest,
It is supply,
It is comfort,
It is mercy,
It is for you,
It is undeserved,
It is my favor, my grace,
It is through faith,
It is yours,
It is free,
But it is not cheap,
Jesus Christ died so you can have it,
So don’t carry your burden,
Let my grace carry you,
Into Sonship,
Into my will,
Into my presence,
There I will teach you,
I will be your G-d,
You will be my Son!

Yes, amidst trial,
Troubles,
Even suffering,
My grace shall be there!
Sufficient to give rest,
To find comfort,
To strengthen you,
To know I AM with you,
To make you victorious.

1 Corinthians 1:28  And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
29  That no flesh should glory in his presence.
30  But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
31  That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

Seek the Lord,
Keep his Word,
Be faithful,
Walk in Him!

Psalms 91:14  Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15  He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16  With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

Rest in Gods grace, then press on in the race that is set before you. His favor towards you is a deep river flowing within, His Spirit, the Spirit of the Living God, who is Holy, whose temple you are. As you run the race, remember; “The Battle is the Lords”, it is his favor, his work, and his power in you, so that no flesh should glory, but that the power seen would be of G-d and not man.

1 John 5:4  For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith

1 Corinthians 3:16  ¶Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

The Hosea Warning to the Church of the Last Days:

As Israel was, so is the church of these last days.  The warning is straight out of Hosea, be sure, it is certainly given to the church today as it was through Hosea to Israel. Let these warnings and words be wisdom to you. Let them find their mark and receive them, for the L-rd says to the end time church:

Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: let her therefore put away her whoredoms out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts; Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst. And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they be the children of whoredoms. For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink. ¶Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.

Hosea 2:2 – Hosea 2:6 (KJV)

Watchman Special Messages:

I have warned the church for these many years, and  have warned believers of what comes. The message is now placed on your shoulders, for I have spoken what the L-rd has given to me. For the burden is now the L-rds, it is his ‘battle’, he is the L-rd. The blood is on your own heads, it is off my hands.

My burden as a Watchman is now firmly placed in the yoke of the L-rd, where his burden is easy, where I can learn of him. I will warn, I will teach and preach and continue to do as I believe the L-rd leads me to do, but no more will I carry the burden I have. If you have a problem with what comes, it is the L-rd, not me. If you hate the message, it is his message, not mine. If you reject his pleading, then it is him you will face, not me.

I am done with carrying the burden and load of your rejection, pride, refusing to hear. I am done with worrying, fretting, and all associated human frailties in regard to the church and America itself. You may not notice a difference in this ministry, but the real change is in me. The burden is now the L-rds, and I  walk in his grace and power to do his will. So that the power will be of G-d and not man.

The Watchman
Dana G Smith Is 21:6

P.S. and as for me and my household, we plan on rejoicing in the L-rd, feeding on his strength and presence. Personally, I plan on gardening next summer, the L-rd willing, and even treking in the Mountains, for what will come, will come. I plan on being found in Him, no matter when it does. For I do not seek man nor his ideals, I seek the L-rd, who is my salvation.

Song of Songs 2:1  ¶I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.
2  As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
3  ¶As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
4  He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.

Nwsltr-072510-The Valley of Achor, find a door of Hope
“In the Valley of Achor or trouble, they would find a door of hope”

Hosea 2:23 And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my G-d

The Valley of Achor: meaning ‘trouble’, they would find a ‘door of hope’.

Here in Hosea we find the L-rd G-d wooing, alluring Israel. Hosea speaks to both houses, that is, Israel the Northern Kingdom and Judah itself. The Northern Kingdom had gone away from the L-rd G-d and served other gods. Meanwhile Judah did not. Although the Northern Kingdom was carried away captive, Judah did not get invaded and carried away for some time after the Northern Kingdom.

In this passage we find that the Lord would come to her [Northern kingdom, Israel, Ephraim]  and speak comfortably to her. In this we find the mention of the Valley of Achor. In the midst of her own idolatries and whoredom, G-d is giving her hope. Achor here means trouble and it was in the valley of Achor where Achan and his family were stoned for their sins.  It means trouble.

5911 [`Akowr /aw·kore/] n m. From 5916; TWOT 1621a; GK 6574; Five occurrences; AV translates as “Achor” five times. 1 trouble, disturbance. 1a Achor—as the valley of trouble where Achan and his family were stoned.

Hosea 2:14  ¶Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.
15  And I will give her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
16  And it shall be at that day, saith the L-RD, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.
17  For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
18  And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.
19  And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.
20  I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the L-RD.
21  And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the L-RD, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;
22  And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel.
23  And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my G-d.

Moreover, G-d is speaking to her in her sins and says I will bring her into the wilderness as in the day when she came out of Egypt. It was then that the L-rd G-d had delivered Israel from the Egyptians. It was at the deliverance of Israel where the “Passover Lamb” was instituted as a feast and commemoration to the day of deliverance. For they applied the blood of the Lamb and followed the Paschal observance. This would follow them all their lives. It was a type and foreshadow of Jesus Christ the Passover Lamb.

Revelation 5:6  ¶And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

Revelation 13:8  And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

Israel though as we know from scripture did not enter into the promise land the first try. For out of the 12 spies sent into the land only Caleb and Joshua brought back a good report. Therefore, the L-rd G-d led them through the wilderness for their unbelief. It was to be a place of judgment for the unbelief of those of Israel.  The L-rd G-d would bring into the promised land Caleb, Joshua, and the children of those who had murmured against the L-rd G-d.

Numbers 14:29  Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me,
30  Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
31  But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.
32  But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness.
33  And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredom’s, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness

Thus the ‘wilderness’ experience became known as a place of ‘trial, testing, and of judgment’. Jesus spent 40 days in the wilderness during which he was tested by the devil. Israel spent 40 years in the wilderness during which the judgment of G-d was completed against those who murmured against the L-rd. But for those who obeyed, it was a time when G-d revealed himself and provided for his own. The descendants of those who murmured along with Moses, Aaron, Miriam, Caleb, and Joshua, plus any others who were not caught up in that sin enjoyed a 40 year experience with the L-rd G-d. They became students and were taught of him, fed by him, and led by him.  It is at these times during the wilderness experience that we really find out about the provision of the L-rd. These times force us to put away all distractions and learn of him. Although we do work at that during other times, it is at the wilderness where he not only proves us and tests us, he reveals himself, his love, and his provision for our needs.

Deuteronomy 8:3  And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the L-RD doth man live.
4  Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.
5  Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the L-RD thy God chasteneth thee

Now this wilderness was a place where G-d humbled them, and even caused them to hunger. He was as a Father chastising his son or daughter. But in this he fed them with manna. A bread that they had never seen before. The lesson was that man does not live by ‘bread’ alone, that is by the physical things you may eat etc. Man lives, the lesson taught them, by every word that proceeds from G-ds mouth. During this even their raiment or clothes did not wear out. Their feet did not swell, even though they walked through the wilderness. In short, they learned the provision of this great G-d. The very L-rd who led them by fire at night and by cloud in the day.

Exodus 13:21  And the L-RD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:

The literally moved from one place to another by the word of the L-rd. They were provided for by the word of the L-rd. When the Son of G-d was in the wilderness,he left us a valuable lesson. This lesson was strong and with power when he pointedly answered the devil in one temptation saying “man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of G-d.” It is a lesson that many believers have trouble with. We don’t live by what we can do, earn, find, or manage to get by with. We literally live by “every word that comes from the mouth of G-d”. We do this, even if we do not fully recognize this fact. Even the unbeliever lives by the air they breathe, get warmed by the sun which shines, eats and gets full by the things which grow out of the earth. All these things are called into existence and held together by, “the Word of G-d”.  This is G-ds providence that will provide even for those who don’t believe in him. This is the goodness of G-d! When we enter as believers into the wilderness experience, we are then at that stage where G-d says, “okay, now you will learn what it means to “live by every word of G-d.”

Luke 4:4  And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

John 6:51  I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

It is noteworthy here to understand how G-d loved Israel and how much he loves the church today. He loves all men, and commands them to repent. It was G-ds love for both the Jew and the Gentile that he gave his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ to die for all men. It is G-ds love that “commands all men to repent”. He commands us to do that so we won’t face his judgment against sin and death! When men and women do respond to his call, know this, ‘he will never leave them or forsake them’. He may test them, try them, take them into the wilderness, but you can rest your faith on the solid promise, that G-d the Father deals with us as his own children. Thank G-d for that. It is that same love and G-ds mercy that we see in the message Hosea was given for Israel. Even in the midst of their sins and struggle to survive, G-d loved them enough to send a warning and a way out. He loved them, hated their sins and provided for them in the end to be re-united in his blessing, if they would only repent and seek him with all their heart!

Hosea 2: 16  And it shall be at that day, saith the L-RD, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.
17  For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.

In the verses above we find Hosea saying prophetically Israel would call the L-rd “Ishi”. “Ishi” means my husband. It is a prophecy that G-d would again take Israel as his own. She would no longer call the L-rd “Baali”, which means my master! In other words, Israel would not serve him as a slave to her master. She would not be a harlot to other gods. They would put away the names of the Baal’s from her mouth and the Northern Kingdom would no longer remember them. Instead, she would come to love the L-rd, follow him, and with her heart fall in love with their G-d, as they once had done in the beginning. It would be a relationship of ‘husband and wife’, a union between the G-d who loves them and now the redeemed people who had come to love this G-d. This union is a type of Christ and the church. Baal’s, here means lord. It refers to the chief male divinity of the Phoenicians or Canaanite’s. In short, they would put away all idols and other gods to serve the living and true L-rd G-d. It is the same thing the L-rd says to the church today.  He will take away the names of the idols and gods you are serving and they shall no more be remembered. He shall take you into the wilderness. It is put this way by Peter ‘judgment must begin at the house of G-d’.

1 Peter 4:17  For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of G-d: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of G-d?

Hosea goes even further in this and actually relates what is the truth of the ‘millennial reign of Christ’.  These will be a people who will be wed to the L-rd forever. Hosea says the L-RD will ‘betroth thee unto me in righteousness, in judgment, in lovingness, and in mercies.’

Hosea 2:18  And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.
19  And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.
20  I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the L-RD.
21  And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the L-RD, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;
22  And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel.
23  And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my G-d.

When speaking of ‘mercies’, it was prophesied by Isaiah in chapter 55 and verse 3. With it is a plea to “Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.” This same scripture is quoted in Acts chapter 13 and verse 34 saying “And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.”

This is a place prepared for those who have responded to the call of G-d, and have accepted and believed on the ‘sure mercies of David’. Paul was the one giving the sermon on the ‘sure mercies of David’ that day and before he mentioned these mercies he told the listeners that “we declare unto you the glad tidings”. This was the promise made to the fathers. He goes on to say that G-d hath “raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.”

Acts 13:32  And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,
33  G-d hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

Paul started out this whole sermon by giving them the history lesson of what had occurred not too long ago in Jerusalem. In this he speaks of the David the son of Jesse of whom G-d raised up of his seed unto Israel a Savior, Jesus. The sermon then goes on to explain what occurred, that was his death, and then the fact that G-d raised him from the dead. That this fact was witnessed by many people over many days became proven and Paul told them flatly about it.

Acts 13:22  And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will

Acts 13:23  Of this man’s seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:
24  When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
25  And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.
26  Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.
27  For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.
28  And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.
29  And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.
30  But God raised him from the dead:
31  And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.

Although Hosea speaks to Israel during a time of idolatry and whoredom, it speaks to us today. For in this book by this prophet we find a G-d who in spite of the sins of Israel still loved them and thus worked to bring them to himself. Even so today, when it looks like the church and the world have gone into darkness, there still awaits a G-d, who like during the time of Hosea and the Northern Kingdom says, through the Valley of Achor [trouble], you shall find hope.  This G-d will move to bring her into this valley, which is actually a place of hope. It is a place of judgment yes, but of relationship to this G-d and our Father through Jesus Christ. It is a place where we will find a covenant of hope and a place of nurture amidst the wilderness of the end times.

Hosea 2:14  ¶Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.
15  And I will give her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
16  And it shall be at that day, saith the L-RD, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.
17  For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
18  And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.

But this wilderness will require faith, hope, and love for this G-d, who through his Son has provided for us, salvation and deliverance in his name.  It is a place where in faithfulness we shall know the L-RD. Hosea says of this prophetically, “I will hear” saith the L-RD, “I will hear the heavens and they shall hear the earth; and the earth shall hear the corn, and wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel.” Here Jezreel means ‘G-d Sows’. It will be time of refreshing, replenishing, and restoration. It will be sown in the earth, and here this G-d will have mercy on her that has not obtained mercy, and to them which were not my people, thou art my people, and they shall say, thou art my G-d. This speaks of those who were alienated from their G-d, separated and without hope or mercy. People who were not his people, but now they would be his people. People who now could say, you are my L-RD and my G-d.  It is the L-rd who sowed his ‘only begotten Son’ so that through his death, those who believe in him may live! It is the Son who gave his life, sowing his life in death so you may be raised from the dead as he was.

Hosea 2: 20  I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the L-RD.
21  And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the L-RD, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;
22  And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel.
23  And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my G-d.

I could write a lot on these verses, especially in relation to the fullness and the types. Corn is abundance, the abundance of the millennium and the kingdom of G-d. The wine is the new wine, the type of the blood of Christ shed for our sins.  The Oil is the Holy Spirit which was given to us. It represents as well the true fullness of the Holy Spirit we shall personally experience in the millennial reign of Christ. It is true we will be like him, for we shall see him as he is.  Abundance, growth, joy, and the new age, will be so great, that you will be able to hear the blessing of G-d causing everything to be renewed and in its fullness there will be no curse. For the former things are passed away. Can you say, Hallelujah and Praise G-d for this, our future?

1 John 3:2  Beloved, now are we the sons of G-d, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

Revelation 21:4  And G-d shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away

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 L-rd, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.


In the Valley of Achor, or trouble, there is:

The Door of HOPE!

Jesus Said, “I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved and go in and out and find pasture”

John 10:7  Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
8  All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9  I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10  The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
11  I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
12  But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
13  The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14  I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
15  As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16  And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
17  Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.

Prepare your hearts, keep the faith, and ready thyself for the times ahead!

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.

“A modern Metaphor of Eternities Warning”
This is a story. One that forms “A figure of speech”, all of  its words and phrases into an expression of “Eternities Warning and the Day of the LORD”. It brings forth certain truths thereof in the telling, which are to be reflected as Eternal truths out of the HOLY Book, The Word of God, the Torah, and the Bible in its entirety.


At the End of this Story is my Latest Psalm, “To Whom shall you Flee?”
by the Watchman
Dana G Smith

Proverbs 16:4  ¶The L-RD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. 5  ¶Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the L-RD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished. 6  ¶By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the L-RD men depart from evil.

Proverbs 16:4 ¶The L-RD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. 5 ¶Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the L-RD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished. 6 ¶By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the L-RD men depart from evil.

In the valley I sought wisdom. There the green pastures became feed for the beasts of the field. I understood the wisdom of G-d for provision for these whom he has created. I turned to the hills and walked upon them, surveying the plains. I sought wisdom and saw the horizon. In this I knew the vastness of the land. I looked at night upon the stars and saw the moon. I beheld them all in their nightly courses and sought wisdom in this. It was then I knew behind it was one greater than all who had created this. But in all this I sought further wisdom, but it evaded me. Where shall I find it? Who can tell me, where is wisdom today?

I looked to the nations and beheld much wisdom of men. All of whom had expertise in the fields of science, knowledge, and of holy things. Their gods were many, made of gold, silver, wood, and of precious stones. Yet these did not speak, nor did they seem to hear! Surely these did not create all I had beheld. Further the society of men whom wisdom came worked in feverishly ways to get gain, yet for all their work it did not seem to satisfy. They still wanted more. In this I found no pleasure, surely I said, where is wisdom in this? For they have no peace, nor do they have rest of soul! They labor and store away their goods, then they die. Their goods they leave to another, where is wisdom in this?

As I walked I found a path and the one whom called to me said, “the L-RD hath made all things for himself.” Who is the L-RD who made all things I asked? Again a voice came to me speaking “by mercy and truth iniquity is purged, and by fear of the L-RD men depart from evil.” What is this mercy and where is truth? Who is the L-RD that I should fear him? I have beheld his creation and surely it was born out of love not hate! Why should I fear this L-RD whom created all this?

As I thought on these things, my heart gripped me as I understood why mercy and truth vanquished iniquity. It was then I saw Atonement standing upon my heart. In this there was one like unto the Son of G-d who said, “I died on the cross for your sins and the sins of the whole world. I am the Way, the Truth, and the Light, no man comes unto the Father, but by me.” The heart within burned as I heard these words. My eyes gripped tightly to stem tears from a heart that had sought out wisdom. For I knew that in myself, I was the least of all. I knew, my sins were greater than any, so of this, the man whom I was speaking, brilliant more than ten thousand suns spoke to me again saying “of man, out of birth, comes his destiny to die, for he has transgressed the Holy covenant. He is a sinner and no man can come before the L-RD in this way. Out of love, the L-RD, gave his only begotten son that whosoever should believe on him, receive him, and repent of their ways would find life eternal and become the Sons of G-d.”

Proverbs 16:4  ¶The L-RD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.
5  ¶Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the L-RD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
6  ¶By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the L-RD men depart from evil.

As I heard these words, my lips moved quickly to utter “yes I believe, forgive me L-RD, for I have sinned.” Again the voice spake deep within me as I looked out and beheld a green valley. Beyond the valley was a great nation. In this nation stood a vast people of all kinds and they too had sought wisdom and in their haste had found folly instead. Folly had his brothers pride and avarice with him. They had their friends greed, bloodshed, and religion. All were gathered laughing at folly who had so conquered this great nation. But they looked up and saw the HOLY ONE who beheld their deeds. They knew their time was short, in haste they went to their leader. This one who was called destroyer came and spoke to them, saying, “I have my chosen in place.” This land is mine now. I have overthrown their holy places, destroyed their covenants, and sent a spirit of filth among them so that their deeds would separate them from the MOST HOLY. They all laughed so hard that hell and destruction smiled and opened wider.

Proverbs 15:11  ¶Hell and destruction are before the L-RD: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?
Proverbs 27:20  ¶Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.

The L-RD looked down at these who sat around Perdition and said “you are before me, I know thy ways, both Hell and destruction, you both shall be gone from before me. For you are never satisfied neither full. I will gather my people, those who love my word, honor my name, and believe in their Hearts, that it is I the L-RD G-d who has done all this. They will receive Atonement who died for them and their sins will be vanquished and I will remember them no more.” At this the ones who were mocking suddenly quit and in haste, bitterly made a retreat. At their flight, the L-RD said “where shall you go that I shall not see?”

Revelation 20:14  And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

Knowing that their time was short, they made haste to the lands where Folly had been given over to the inhabitants. It was in their power now to become rich, live as kings, and do as they please. They had gods who were no gods and sought to bring people to worship in their ways before the devils who inhabited the places of their idols. In this Folly was pleased. The land given over to a ‘filthy’ spirit had become filled with all manner of evil demons who in varied form made their way in the land. It had become full and the habitation of devils, the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. Folly looked to see the one in whom poured out the ‘wine of fornication’ which caused the wrath of the Almighty to come upon those who had become drunk. She was sitting upon the beast and looked very fine in her manner. For she indeed was a harlot.

Revelation 18:2  And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
3  For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

As I beheld this I looked to the side and saw a ‘foolish woman’ who was sitting at the door of her house. She called upon everyone who passed by, but especially to him who was simple. She took hold of him, her intoxicating smell wafted into his senses as she spoke to him “Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.” She grabbed hold of his arm, his weakness was evident. It was the harlot who had dressed herself to appear as such so she could woo him into the place of the dead, as hell stood by, destruction heaved.

The simple one stood and gave a little, but this woman in the attire of an harlot grabbed and kissed him, impudently again spoke “I have peace offerings with me, this day I have payed my vows. Therefore I came forth to meet thee, to seek thy face, and I have found thee. I have decked my bed with the finest of tapestry, linens, and carved works. I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. Come with me and let us have our fill of love this night, let us find peace and solace with loves tonight.” At this the man walked through the portal.

Proverbs 9:13  ¶A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.
14  For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
15  To call passengers who go right on their ways:
16  Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
17  Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
18  But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.

Proverbs 7:6  ¶For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,
7  And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,
8  Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,
9  In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:
10  And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.
11  (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:
12  Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)
13  So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,
14  I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows.
15  Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.
16  I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.
17  I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
18  Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.

Inside the portal the woman taking the young man in whom she had sought out began to make the vows of the impure of heart. The snare was complete, the one whom she feasted on this night was caught. There was no escape. Then a booming voice came out of heaven and I heard, “of such is my beloved, my church. She too has sought out after other lovers and gone astray.” Let wisdom find thee tonight for the L-RD has warned you. There is a house built upon Wisdom, in honor and true holiness, Wisdom is calling, saying “forsake the foolish, and live, and go in the way of understanding.”

Proverbs 9:1  ¶Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:
2  She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.
3  She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,
4  Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
5  Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
6  Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding

“Yet for all this rebellion, I have yet loved and have called to these. For all this, my offer has been refused. I have stretched forth my hand and no man regarded. I have offered my counsel and you would have none of my reproof. Therefore when your calamity comes, I will laugh. When your fear comes I will mock, when that fear comes as desolation and your destruction as a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you, I tell you this, you will seek me, but I will not answer. You will seek me early but shall not find me. For you hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the L-RD. You would have none of my counsel and despised my reproof. Because of this you will eat the fruit of your own way and be filled with your own devices. In your own ways and wisdom you who follow folly shall be destroyed, but whoso will hear my words and hearkened to me will dwell in safety.”

Proverbs 1:24  Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25  But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26  I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
27  When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
28  Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
29  For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the L-RD:
30  They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
31  Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
32  For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
33  But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

As I beheld this, I saw the city coming up out of the earth filled with all manner of evil. Upon this city rode a woman upon a beast and the cry came out. “It is here, the Mystery is weighing heavy upon the people.” Then again, another voice sounded out “Come out of her, my people that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.”

Revelation 18:4  And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
5  For her sins have reached unto heaven, and G-d hath remembered her iniquities.
6  Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
7  How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
8  Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the L-rd G-d who judgeth her.

Then I understood this, the sins of this one has reached unto the MOST HOLY. The iniquities are remembered before him and the reward is upon the one who sought folly. For the one whom is upon the earth lived deliciously and glorified herself. In her is found the blood of the saints, and of all them that died upon the earth. Then I heard a booming voice ringing out from all heaven saying “The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold, but the L-RD trieth the hearts. Upon him who justifies the wicked and upon those who condemn the just, both these are an abomination before t he L-RD. For upon the foolish it is written, Pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall.”

Proverbs 17:3  ¶The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the L-RD trieth the hearts.
Proverbs 17:15  ¶He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the L-RD.
Proverbs 16:18  ¶Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

Upon the church whom had sought another, her end is bitter, this I also understood. For her end is as wormwood, it shall cut as a sharp two edged sword. Her feet go down to death, her steps take hold on hell and she has taken many with her. Her name is religion and her idols shall perish with her. I knew also that all should depart from this one and from the words she speaks, for her way is subtle and will destroy many more.

Proverbs 5:3  For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
4  But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword.
5  Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
6  Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.
7  Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
8  Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:

As I saw all this, my soul stirred, as I looked up the valley lay before me. This was the Way to follow, it is the Way of Wisdom, it is written it the HOLY Book, the words of the MOST HIGH, to those who would listen. Hear the words, his commandments all who will be wise.

The Way of Wisdom

Proverbs 18:10  ¶The name of the L-RD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.

Proverbs 16:17  ¶The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.

Proverbs 16:22  ¶Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly.

Proverbs 16:4  ¶The L-RD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.
5  ¶Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the L-RD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
6  ¶By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the L-RD men depart from evil.

Proverbs 4:25  Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.
26  Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.
27  Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil

The Words of the L-RD unto those who will hear!

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 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.

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.

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.


To Whom Shall you Flee!



A Psalm and Warning
By the Watchman
Dana G Smith
Keywords:

I have called, and like Israel you have not listened!
I have wooed you but you have found another!
Therefore, Terror shall come upon you and you shall not see it come!
In a moment shall your ways be found leading to judgment and terror!
Once again, let this wisdom be given to you who refuse!
Repent, Seek the L-RD!

Make your paths straight in the L-RDS path.
For the Day of the L-RD cometh!
Let this wisdom find you,
Repent, turn from your wicked ways and walk in my path.
For the L-RD will not acquit your rebellion and sin.
For the willful generation, the proud ones, the rebellious, the seeker of a familiar,
Those who love darkness shall all find their ways to be the ways of death!

Repent for the L-RD cometh.
Why should you die?
I have given you life!
Why should you find my wrath?
I have given you my Salvation!

But you have rejected it,
Therefore you will find the fruit of your ways to be rewarded fully!
Let this mind be in you,
The L-RD is a Great and Mighty ONE,
Who is quick to forgive those that will repent and seek His mercy!

But He is a terrible ONE,
To the Wicked and Rebellious who will not forgo the error of their ways.

To whom shall you flee?
When my fury comes, where will you go, for it shall surely come upon you?
Let me know, for I do not know of any that can deliver you out of my hand, unless you repent!

For the wheat shall be gathered into my barn, but the chaff shall be burned.

The sheep shall be gathered by my Shepherd and be led to safety but the goats shall be separated unto destruction!

Isaiah 45:21  Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.

Nwsltr-032810-Truth has ‘U’ in It

By the Watchman

Words: 2081

With all that is going on today it is easy to get mad! But today I tell you “Don’t get Mad, Get G-d!”. I don’t mean just any mamby pamby god.  I mean G-d the Father, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who is the ‘mystery of ages’ and has come!

rail cars

Photo of  “prison rail cars”  rolling to its destination. Such evidence is seen all over america as people more and more are asking why our government needs such things as these. Remember WWII and the imprisonment of the Japanese?  In perspective such prison rail cars for transporting large groups of hostiles from one place to another. From one city to a closer ‘prison camp’! Today we are not at war with Americans, or are we?  Many questions are asked, but none to few answers are forthcoming.  If you are looking for Truth and truthful answers, we have our Lord and he is the “way, the TrUth, and th eLife”. TrUth has ‘U’ in it!

John 14:5  Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
7  If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
8  Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
9  Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?

Don’t get fear either, get trust in our G-d, who is able to keep you from falling as Jude says in summing up his epistle!

Jude 1:24  Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
25  To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

But this kind of faith and trust can only come when ‘U’ are in the ‘TrUth’ of Jesus Christ and his Father.  The whole world can have a panic attack, in fact scripture says  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.”-Luke 21:26. It is the natural man, those in the world who cling to their idols, gold, silver, nations, churches, false religions and saviors, that will experience this ‘failing of hearts’. But for those who are the ‘U’, in ‘TrUth’ of Christ, they have the ‘peace of G-d’ and his Word as assurance. We are in Him, who is able to keep us, and even if we should perish from this mortal coil of perditious trouble in the world, we have hope, salvation, and glory awaiting us through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Jesus Christ is the only Way of Salvation, the ‘Truth’ of G-d who came to reveal our Fathers Love. It is this G-d and Father who loved us so much as to deliver us from death and the grave. The power of G-d in us through Jesus Christ, with the promises of G-d in our hearts, powered by his Spirit, the Ruach Chodesh, will finds us in his arms even in trouble in the world. It is that ‘light’, the Christ, the Messiach, Yeshua, Jesus who has come to reveal what ‘True Light’ really is. The enemy has plenty of delusions and lies, but he cannot touch our G-ds power, love, might, honor, strength, wisdom, and salvation for the beloved.

This is ‘TrUth’ my friends. ‘YoU’ are in his declaration, His Word, and in His promises. We are in troubled times, but we are not to be troubled. The world may be mad, or even make us mad. But we need not be mad, instead, “Don’t get mad, Get G-d”.  Same as Fear, the world may be fearful, worried, and uncertain about tomorrow, but we know who holds tomorrow. It is high time we as the ‘people of G-d, the bride of Jesus Christ’ started believing and walking in the power and purpose of Him who has called us to Salvation and Glory in Christ Jesus. We are in the world, the world better not be in us or our hearts. We are his light, his salt, and as such, our voices and faith should ring out against the corridors of every nation, every government, and every leader that we stand for Christ, and Christ is G-d, and in Him is Salvation! He is coming back to establish the Throne of David. He will make us Kings and Priests to our G-D!  It is these truths that should hit all who hear us or oppose us. Our voices and witness needs to be clear, loud, consistent, and with power hitting those who hear us smack dab in their heart and spirit.

Revelation 3:21  To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne

Revelation 5:10  And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth

Today, if you will hear His voice, ‘harden not your hearts’, this is what the world needs to hear! He is alive, we are his children. They may hate us, beat us, imprison us, or kill us, but we will only go as our G-d leads or directs us. We are his, as such, nothing will happen without his commandment.

Hebrews 3:15  While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
Hebrews 4:7  Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day If ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

It is also true today that for the world, RedeeMEr, as ‘ME’ in it. The redeemer of mankind, Jesus Christ, has already come to the earth to redeem men unto G-d through his work on the cross. It is this ‘blood of the covenant’ shed for their sins that will bring them out of desolation and destruction to our G-d the Father of all mercies and hope. For you and I, we already know ‘
Christ died for ME!’ So our ‘ReedeeMEr’ and Savior is Christ, we believe and have received him. As with Job, we can say this “I know my redeeMEr liveth and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth.”  Further Job said, ‘after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see G-d.” Now that is faith! You know this man knew his G-d!

Job 19:25  For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
26  And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God

Finally my friends remember also that ‘FaIth’ has ‘I’ in it! If we are truly born of God, then we will overcome the world. The victory that enables and ensures this is our ‘FaIth’. That ‘FaIth’ is solidly rooted in the ‘I’, which is you and “I” who believe that Jesus is the Son of G-d! For this scripture says, is the ‘victory that overcometh the world, even our FaIth’.

1 John 5:4  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?

Today, my friends it is raining. Troubles are all over the world. Israel is in the center of it, as America strikes her hand to control and manage it all. Our leaders are deluded, the system is broken, and the world is heading to chaos. But we have the victory that ‘overcomes the world, even our “FaIth”, believing and trusting in this fact: JESUS CHRIST is the Son of God, the Only begotten of the Father, full of Grace and Truth, and he alone is the Savior of all the world.

Be found in him, our Savior.

What follows is a recent Psalm with scripture references from Psalm 2 !

Lamentations of America

A Psalm By the Watchman
Dana G Smith
Keywords: America, lament, G-d, deliverance, anguish, sins, Jesus Christ

Psalms 2:1  ¶Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2  The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
3  Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

I watched it,
I am living it,
Yet at times, it is hard to behold!
Like the death of a friend,
So too, is the America I grew up in.

Enemies have done this,
Yet, they are here because of sin.
Yea, because of our sins,
We are stubborn, proud, and rebellious.
We hate righteousness as we serve our idols.
We loathe the G-d of righteousness,
As we embrace the god of this world!
Psalms 2:4  He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
5  Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

Many if not all, are blinded,
Done so by their own conceit!
Too proud to admit wrong!
Too busy to look up!
Too set on the error of their ways!

The People look to many things.
They have the appearance of righteousness.
They hope, though, in things other than this G-d!
Some hope in riches to save them.
Some hope in their churches to save them.
Some hope still in America to save them.
Some, meanwhile, hope in man.

Psalms 2:6  Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7  ¶I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

But I hope in the G-d of Jacob, the G-d of Abraham, The G-d of Isaac,
The Father of the blessed One, who provided Salvation through  Jesus Christ,
Yeshua Ha Massiach, his only begotten Son as the Savior of the world, and it is in his Son
do I hope, believe, trust, and follow!

Again, let me refrain, I hope in the Father, the L-rd G-d;
And in his Son, the savior of all men, Jesus Christ!

We have gone astray and do not see;
They hope in deliverance,
They will see anguish,
For they hope in vanity and in lies do they trust!
Arise from your deceit, shake it off.

For surely this is a warning and a cure,
Lest you come close to our G-d and his son
You will perish,
Therefore;
Shake off the slumber,
For the Harlot has taken over,
She is established,
She is not your friend!

Psalms 2:8  Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9  Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
10  ¶Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

She will make war.
She will destroy.
She will kill with death,
All who oppose her.

She revels in drunkenness.
She drinks your blood,
Yea, she bathes in it,
From darkness has she come,
Death is in her.

Make peace with her if you dare.
For her end is misery and death.
She hates the L-rd G-d of truth and righteousness.
She rejects his reign,
She hates his children,
She will kill, steal, and destroy!

I have seen and beheld.
I have warned.
You have not listened.
You argue in repeated terms of mans wisdom,
You sit in the place of your own idea’s,
Your belief in the wisdom that you perceive to be true,
You follow men who themselves are deluded, yet you are blind!

Psalms 2: 11  Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12  Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

This is your downfall,
You reject the L-rds warning,
You reject the L-rds call!
Because of this, unless you repent,
You will find anguish, misery, and in the end death.

But those who have called upon the L-rd our G-d,
Believing in son Yeshua, Jesus Christ,
Yea and have walked in his ways,
Keeping his word in faith and obedience,
Yea, they will find shelter in Him,
In the trusted One, whose arms gather and protect.

Watchman and The ‘Spiritual City’

Watchman and The ‘Spiritual City’
‘A personal message of preparation from the Watchman, to the nations of them that are saved’
By the Watchman
Dana G Smith

Psalms 127:1  ¶<<A Song of degrees for Solomon.>> Except the L_RD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
2  It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.

The truth I set about to discuss with you today is the fact of the L-RD building the house. The word house here, in deed, can be associated with many things that men may build. Here we see  not only house but city in the context. We can also put in synagogue, temple, church, home, family, city, nation, and even people’s group. For the truth here is, unless the L_RD builds it, it will not be established nor last.  The word for L-RD here is the covenant name for our God, YHWH. It is the personal name of our God and Father who sent his son Jesus Christ, Yeshua Ha Massiach to be the Savior of the world.

For the believer in Yeshua whether jew or gentile, male or female, senior or young child, all has to be established in him, who has saved us, redeeming our lives from destruction and wrath. It is at that point to which we must accept, that in fact, we may see trouble, turmoil, and even death here in this temporal world, but our foundation is built upon the L-RD, our G-D, our Father and his Son Yeshua. Through the ‘blood of the covenant’, we are redeemed, purchased, pulled out of destruction, our souls will never see destruction in scheol or hell fire. All because of Christ Jesus. It is in him, therefore, that we must be, always. Being built upon the foundation of His work, His Spirit, and the Word of G-D. Believing and working with his anointing to do his will as we live in the world.

I am a Watchman as many of you know. But I am not a Watchman, watching in vain. That is watching over America and warning of its collapse. Yes, this I do. But my call is not to save America. My goal is not to watch out from my post to declare the ‘Russians are coming’, or the ‘devil is coming’.  My calling, goal, and purpose is to the called in Yeshua. I stand on my Watch Tower, of the city. This city is the ‘collected’ ‘elect of G-D’, the ‘nations of them that are saved’, those who follow the L-RD.

I have warned of this nation and its collapse eventually and judgment from the L-RD. I have discussed about its troubles, did news stories, and more. I warn of many things I see coming. But my calling is not to stand on the Watch tower of America and warn America so she will be saved. That is Glen Becks job, Hannity’s job, and others who do this. I am not a political hack. I am not an entertainer. I am not a political opinion radio host. I am a Watchman. The ‘Watchman of YHWH’, my G-D. Period.  I am an American yes, but I am a servant of the L-RD, who saved me by his grace. I am in the world, but I am not of it. I have served G-D in prosperous times, I will serve G-D, by his grace, whatever comes.  In short, the tower upon which I stand is the ‘spiritual tower’, erected for me by my G-D and L-RD. He put me there so I could call out, warning, exhorting, sounding the shofar of his arrival. To waken the spiritual sheep who in America are sleepy, drugged by materialism, and being prepared for the slaughter and destruction with delusion that is coming.

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.

My love, desire, and purpose is for my Savior to rule and reign on this earth. To keep the commandments of my G-D and Father, and keep the testimony and faith of Yeshua. That is what I do, who I am. To be a Watchman for America, who does not recognize my L-RD and G-D is vain. It is useless and wasted labor. America will be destroyed and all those who do not recognize our Savior!

Revelation 21:24  And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.

To be a Watchman for the L-RD, warning his people, preparing them, praying for them, loving, helping, and doing what I can, this my friends is not vain. I intend to have a shofar one day and stand from the gates of Jerusalem and herald in the coming of Jesus Christ, Yeshua Ha Massiach as he purges and cleanses then takes over the City of David!

I intend to stand from the Mounts of Israel during the Millenium and look at the promised land of our G-D and his reigning kingdom. I intend to stand with Isaiah and say:

Isaiah 25:9  ¶And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

As I have been seeking the L-RD, which is what I must do, as you must do as well, the Revelation that what is coming is being exposed by our G-D. What this means is that all those who laughed, ignored, or thought we and others were crazy for the message we gave to them, are not laughing anymore. The reality of America’s trouble and the world is setting in. Many continue to ignore this, hardening their hearts and consciences, hoping by doing this, it will get better. It will not. The devil right now has succeeded in putting his people in power in America, [The L-RD allowed this in his righteous judgment] and the finishing touches are being formulated for the final phases of what is coming. He has made war against the saints since time memorial, but now, he is specifically preparing an onslaught against the American church, Christians, and those who are involved with them.

Be warned today that this is not far away. You who read this and live in America, final destruction will come one day, without notice.  I believe it will be total in effect, coming after many judgments on this nation. The obedient believers, who are in prayer, fasting, and reading Gods word will be warned, if they listen and watch. G-D has always called his people out of a place before his wrath hits, America is no different, so watch and prepare! There will be a time, however, that the L-RD will tell us to flee this place so as to not partake of her sins and judgments! Now I am not saying this will be right away, I am not a soothsayer nor diviner. I am a Watchman, the timeline is the L-RDS, not mine!

The troubles will ramp up continually, as the things which come on the earth get worse and worse. Even to the point of uncontrollable fear upon those who do not know G-D and to those who are the ‘lukewarm’ and ‘disobedient children’.

Luke 21:26  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.

Revelation 3:16  So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

Titus 1:16  They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

Those of us who are here and believe will and must ‘live by faith’. His peace will keep us, his Spirit will lead and guide us, His Word is what we will live by! For man lives not by bread alone, but by every Word out of the mouth of God!

Remember  Psalm 23, as this is a good example for us today. He is our Shepherd, therefore if he is, he will fill all our need, both physically and spiritually. We shall not want, for he is our hope, shield, and L-RD. We must have faith in him as we walk through this ‘by faith’. Yes we will have trouble, suffering, turmoil, and possibly even death. But nothing can separate us from Him.

Notice: i.e. read, meditate, and pray over this short psalm. What does it say to you? Take time, quietly to let the Spirit speak to you!

Psalms 23:1
¶<<A Psalm of David.>> The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

Psalms 23:2
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

Rest, peace, restoration, and guidance comes from the L-RD as we walk in the paths of righteousness, being directed by him. Now this can’t happen if we don’t willingly look to him in prayer, fasting, and reading the Word, and walk in obedience to his leading. Can two walk together except they agree? No, they cannot! You cannot eat of the L-RD’s Table and of Satan’s. Make your choice!

Psalms 23:3
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

We will walk in this world and in it the times will make us see, hear, and even experience things that bring death and destruction. But we must not fear, for our hope is in the L-RD’s rod and staff, which comfort us. The rod and staff are used to protect and take care of the sheep. So look to him. You will see the valley. The psalmist says here that “though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.” It is a real valley, but death is a shadow, it is there reminding you of its presence. The hope you have today is Christ Jesus who triumphed over death. We are not fearful of man, nor of death. We fear the L-RD, have repented, and believed on Yeshua. This leads us to walking in obedience to him.

Psalms 23:4
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

He is the one who anoints us with oil [symbol of the Holy Spirit]. It is his Spirit who guides, teaches, leads, corrects, and comforts us. The L-RD anoints us to do his work, anoints his Word to fulfill its course for him, and without his anointing, nothing for Him is possible. It becomes fleshly and vain without the L-RD’s anointing moving in and through us.

Note here, our L-RD does all this in the ‘presence of your enemies’. You will have enemies, the chiefest is Satan and his companions. But they can do nothing about your G-D forgiving you, saving you, and anointing you. He can do many things, but not a hair on your head will perish. Even if you die, the L-RD who counts all our hairs will resurrect you in power and you will be more glorious than before. But take notice here, we will be surrounded by enemies.

Psalms 23:5
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

This is where the future home of all who believe in Yeshua will be. In the house of the L-RD forever. In that place, goodness and mercy, pouring from the Throne of G-D will anoint you forever and ever. No more death, enemies, hatred, bitterness, strife, wars, plagues, sickness, and all the rest of the vain life we did know.

Psalms 23:6
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever

.

For those of us who have lived in luxury, always having jobs, homes, cars, doctors, money, food, and more, this will be a change. It is coming, you must know today that the L-RD will allow this to occur, it is HIS MERCY flowing out to us. To awaken us that we will seek Him and find true riches and sustenance. There is more to life and religious Christianity that we have been taught in the modern church in America. Ours is a church and way of life that G-D is judging, he is not going to repent of this. It is coming to this nation and others. It is coming and we will see it. It is coming and even today we must start learning to do as G-D commands us to do, “Live by Faith”.

‘The Just shall live by Faith’

Habakkuk 2:3  For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
4  Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

‘Bottom Line Faith’

Habakkuk 3:16  ¶When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he cometh up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops.
17  Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:
18  Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
19  The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.

May this find you in Him, our L-RD, Yeshua Ha Massiach, Jesus Christ the only begotten of the Father, our G-D, YHWH, blessed be His Name.

1 Corinthians 8:6  But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

1 Corinthians 15:24  Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

2 Corinthians 1:3  ¶Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
