Watchman Nwsltr-080110-A House Divided
“It is true, a house or kingdom divided cannot stand, take heed therefore where you stand in this, lest ye fall”

By the Watchman
Dana G Smith

Luke 11:17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.

A House Divided
“It is true, a house or kingdom divided cannot stand, take heed therefore where you stand in this, lest ye fall”

I take a deep breath, heave a little, sigh some as I write this, knowing the full measure of what is coming. What is coming is judgment, yet, over the years all the warning has fallen on many deaf ears. Our Lord warned us by his Spirit saying to us; “let those that hear, hear what the Spirit sayeth to the churches.” Jesus said it this way “let those that hear, let him hear”. It is hard to believe at times the trouble which is upon the nations and even in America. Many believers in church denominations, fellowships, and groups don’t really believe what is coming will bring with it death, plagues, destruction, and more upon America. Here I speak specifically to America and her ‘ecclesia’ the called out ones. I speak to both denominations and anyone else who is a follower of and pledges allegiance to our Savior and Lord.

Matthew 13:9  Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Luke 11:17  But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.

In America we have a propensity to become divided. This is seen through the myriad of denominations, name classifications of believers: i.e. Christian, believer, Baptist, Pentecostal, catholic, and much more. Matter of fact I suppose the number of denominations are so massive and unless one has a thorough record of them, this number would be unknown to many. But suffice to say, safely speaking that is, there are probably by anyone’s guess, tens of thousands of such denominations in the church realm in America today.

Over the years I have seen Christians pledge themselves to friendship, loyalty, and to love each other. I have witnessed them praying and weeping at the altar on Sunday nights, then a short time later we find them in the midst of gossip, back biting, and even holding grudges against each other. Christians wearing their feelings on their sleeves, many still carnal and having no root, become bitter, full of hate, and even leave the faith all together because of what they find in church. We personally have seen Christians love us and then go behind us to backbite us or talk about us in a personally hurtful way.  This has also been the norm for others we have come in contact with. Only in America can one call himself a Christian while at the same time playing headmaster in the throne room of judging each another. Only an American Christian and I believe this also goes for many other believers in other nations can say “I love you”, while holding a knife to the persons back.

I write this today to let you know, “my brethren” this ought not to be so! It is hard to figure this in America except to say, the ‘glory’ has departed from the midst of the churches for the most part. The lack of conviction by the Holy Spirit in a church is one reason we see this. The lack therefore is due to lack of prayer, fasting, reading and obeying Gods word. Many Christians today are in sad lack of true knowledge of holiness, and find themselves in that category of ‘no root’ in the faith. All the devil has to do is stir up the ‘tares’ in many congregations today and they take care of the rest. Many times we blame Satan for the troubles in the churches. Satan is not the problem, the lack of belief, and not being where we are supposed to be. I.E., in Christ, for he said in John “without me you can do nothing.” Its hard to figure from any standpoint unless you’re a tare that it is okay to say you love someone while trashing them at the same time.

John 15:5  I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

I have heard from people as they talk to me, “I consider you my Pastor”. Those are dangerous words as there were those who believed Jesus was the good shepherd and the Messiah. One week they escorted him in victory through the streets of Jerusalem praising God as he went. Shortly after that, they were shouting for his death, saying “his blood be on us and on our children”.

Matthew 27:25  Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

I have seen experienced deacons, pastors, head pastors, senior pastors, evangelists, and normal everyday believers all go through this. Yet as I write this the church in many corners of the world considers herself an ‘overcomer’ and headed for ‘victory’. At the same time, they declare power, healing virtue, and look for signs and wonders to be done in Jesus name. But yet, these same people walk the plank of an idealistic attitude that claims the promises of God for power and authority but rejects the cross that brought it to us. The deny his very name by crossing over into the alleys of judgment and crossing the streets of pride.

I tell you today that the church is divided and it will not stand. But then I hear those voices screaming to me from the very streets who ran joyously around our Lord declaring him to be the “coming Messiah”, and they are crying “crucify him.” The church doesn’t want to hear it. Christians don’t believe it. Some understand what I say, but to everyone I say, “Let him who has ears to hear, let him hear.” The truth is, the Lord will call out from among those groups who say they are followers of our Lord, only those who truly listen and do what he says. The time is short and the “judgment will begin at Gods house.” The Lord of glory will not put up with his sheep crucifying one another. He will put an end to those who are “biting and devouring each another.”

It is our Lord who will see to it, that the royal law will be met, that is “love thy neighbor as thyself.” It will not be a law that says, “I love you, while plotting evil the next day.” It is a law fulfilled by walking in the Spirit and seeing the fruits fulfilled in your life.

Galatians 5:14  For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
15  But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
16  This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17  For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18  But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
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.
22  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23  Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24  And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

In America we have had the flesh crucify the things of the Spirit. Divisions, backbiting, lusting, decadence, immorality, splits, divisions, and in spite of this, we still claim to be the ‘church’ God has called us to be. Yes, I know we are not perfect, but please, it is as if we are so accustomed to it, as the adage goes, “we cannot see the forest for the tree’s”.

We are divided over doctrines, church names, whether you think sister this or brother that is a real Christian, or whether you can find a way to get back at the person who offended you and still be a good Christian.  It has become so ludicrous today that people come and go from churches, fellowships, and anywhere else so called believers gather. They come and go because they are like gnats caught in a wind. If the wind is down, they buzz around your head for awhile, light quickly, and then they are off. When a wind comes up, they are pushed to the next place. All the while when the wind quits, they again find somewhere to light.  They come and go, never getting true biblical foundations nor walking as true grounded believers. Then when trouble comes, they blame the devil. Now I know the devil is a liar and causes trouble, but the real trouble is not the devil, it is us. We simply do not listen. We don’t listen to the Word of God. We don’t listen to the Spirit of God. We don’t listen to anointed messengers giving the anointed word of God. In short, we will only listen as long as it doesn’t get too uncomfortable. If it gets that way, we leave!

A true Spirit filled church will be have people who know the true convicting power of the Holy Ghost and fire. They will know and are familar with weeping, seeking the LORD, and praying till they get through. They walk in faith, trusting God. If they find themselves in trouble, surrounded by enemies, or if they just need something, these people know how to seek God to find an answer. Their sleeves are for shirts, not their feelings. Their love is for all people, and even if they are hurt, they still love. They leave the judgment to God and seek him for understanding a matter.

I have seen so called Christians judge ministries and minsters harshly. I have been to web sites where the one who puts up this trash spends their time reporting all the false prophets. When you read the names on the list, the only name they are missing is theirs. Everyone else is a false prophet, wrong, or just in trouble by this persons standards. I have seen people trash a ministry that has been faithful for decades. They did so just because they could not accept what they did or said in regards to ministry practice or doctrine. They spent less than an hour or two in the presence of this or that ministry and they have a person judged, convicted, and sent to hell on their say so alone. Oh, yes they can find a scripture to match their belief’s.  They can justify their way about them, but I ask you, do you think this is just a small matter. I say NO! I have seen it for years and years!

Be warned, which is forearmed, The Lord will judge people for this. With the same measure, you mete, it will be meted to you!

Matthew 7:2  For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

The truth is, the Lord will remove this from his church. He will remove those who do it. They will belong to the first church of immorality. But for those who keep his word, walk in his ways, and keep his faith and testimony, he will bring unto himself. For everyone in the church, understand the judgment is beginning with us! I mean real judgment! You think you will escape to some foo foo land where all is peaceful and pretty while you have defiled yourselves in this way.  The truth lies here, in the word, “if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?” Or this word that says “what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.”

1 Peter 4:17  For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
18  And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

2 Peter 3:10  But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11  ¶Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12  Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13  Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
14  Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

Moreover, let me also say, the Lord God gave us a clue as to what his church was like. Here it is!

John 13:34  A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
35  By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

Love, it is more than a word, it is a command, an experience. It says to the flesh and the pride, be off with you. I know the true wisdom and your wisdom is fleshly and contaminates my soul. You are of your boss the devil. It comes from the bonds of the fruits of the flesh. There are those who know this, that the Love wherewith God calls us too is beyond what the carnal church can even understand. It is beyond a harlot church that finds solice in the flesh. This is about those who have God’s love spread abundantly in their hearts by the Holy Ghost within them. It is about those who love more than others hate. They understand more than they will criticize, and see the Jesus in people more than the devil.  I know this sounds high and lofty, but it is not! It is brought to by the very Lord who bought us with his blood shed on the cross for our sins. He loved us so much he died. The Father loved us so much he sent his only begotten Son to redeem us!

Finally, if you are truly a disciple of our Lord Jesus Christ, hear this word. Many Jews followed Jesus for they saw the signs and wonders he did. They listened to his words of authority as he taught the crowds. But even though they heard him, he said to them all, even to those who believed on him, “if ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed.” To be truly free, to truly know the truth, and to have that truth set you free, well this comes only from one thing! Yes, according to the Lord, “you must continue in his word”

Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free, if you continue in my word!

John 8:31  ¶Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
32  And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Hear the Word of God and do it!

Luke 8:21  And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.

Having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience!

Luke 8:15  But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience

The righteous Judgment of God upon the end time church in the world. The judgment, the separation of the sheep from the shepherds, and the gathering of the remnant of God. The ‘cup and the baptism’ of the LORD is ours to drink and to fully undergo in his name.

We are told by the Apostle Peter that the “the time is come that ‘judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God.’ Here we see a divine separation that God, in his Righteous Judgment allows. Such a dividing line that through the ‘suffering’ as a Christian, God is righteous, in a judicial sense, allowing ‘suffering’ to be used in this sense to separate and judge those who believe. In the passages below regarding ‘judgment’ and ‘righteous judgment’, both are used in a context, in which, the believers are suffering as Christians. Pointedly here, persecuted and facing tribulation all because of Christ.  It is here we find that the Apostle Paul tells the Thessalonians in verse four of chapter one that ‘we glory in you in the churches of God’. Why did the Apostle and those with him glory as such? Because he says “For your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure.” It is the righteous judgment of God to allow this, sifting, shaking, and bringing believers in the true position with Christ, in which they share in Christ, in his sufferings!

Judgment:  krisis (??????, 2920) primarily denotes “a separating,” then, “a decision, judgment,” most frequently in a forensic sense, and especially of divine “judgment1, executing of divine judgment.

1 Peter 4:16  Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
1 Peter 4:17  For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
Righteous G1342: ‘righteous, observing divine laws; in a judicial sense, passing just judgment on others.’
Judgment G2920: ‘a separating, then a decision, in executing divine judgment’
Rom 2:5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

2 Thess 1: 4 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:
2 Thess 1:5  Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:

It is here that we must understand the depth of this and the calling associated with it. We find that the Apostles at the start did not really understand the mission of our Lord. Neither did they fully grasp the call and the level to which they must attain. Here in Matthew we find James and John coming to Jesus and asking to be able to sit, one on thy right hand and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.  The point I bring here is not to understand why they asked, or that it was not the Lords to grant to sit there. The point here is that Jesus asked them plainly “can you drink of the cup that I drink of? And be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”

Mark 10:35  And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire.
36  And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?
37  They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.
38  But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
39  And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:
40  But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared

The Footprint of Man

The Footprint of Man:
“You hear of the Carbon footprint, well there is another one”
By the Watchman Dana G Smith
keywords: God, earth, world, LORD God, Man, vanity, life, eternity
Words: 2245

Yes it was in the beginning that God, brought forth the earth, the heavens, and all that therein is. It was this sovereign, just, and true God, whom then was known yet unknown. For when man first came, out of the earth so God formed man, then woman afterwards. Thus the relationship began between God and man.

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

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

John 1:1  ¶In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2  The same was in the beginning with God.
3  All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4  In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

But then this article is not about all that, nor is it a debate about creationism or Darwin’s theory called evolution, which I call pollution. At any rate, today if you are human, know this, out of the earth you came, and to the earth you shall return. We live daily in our lives, which pass by quickly, as the flower fades so goes our flesh and life. It is appointed by God, not just to live, by his providence, but also to die. After we die, before this God we will all stand. Before this Eternal God, whom Jesus said to call ‘Father’, so stand we before him. The flesh and all that it entails will be gone in a whirlwind that past by the earth as a vapor. For the most part no one noticing who you were nor caring. But for some, the famous one’s anyway, they are remembered by history, by their deeds and accomplishments, or by their fame.

Many of those in the world will never be mourned for nor pitied, nor helped. They live their lives meagerly trying to find morsel of food, a scrap of this or that just to survive one more hour or one day. For them just living is hell and being dead seems to be a method of deliverance. Yet for man, there is no deliverance beyond the grave, unless of course you received Gods ‘love of the truth’, if you do, then there is hope. Man fell, he and woman, along with their offspring can enjoy all the fruits of their labors here or experience misery and toil. The fact remains, God without man is still God and man without God is lost. There is no hope, no promise of that heavenly reward. This was the fruit of the loss of mans relationship with God in the beginning.

Psalms 39:5  Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.
Psalms 39:6  Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.

Psalms 89:48  What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah

Man today tries through science and technology to find ways to live. The search for eternal life, for more of this living, for a longer world experience. We live in a time of unbridled lusts and vast scientific know how. No other generation has had as much knowledge, ability, and the technology to make heaven on earth as we do. Yet for all this, our society is breaking up, bloodshed is everywhere, war is rampant, starvation, famine, plagues, pestilence, disease, and more ravage the world. In all this, even with all we know today, man has days like the ‘flower of the fields’. A short time to be planted, a short time to grow, a short time to reproduce, and a time to bloom, then they die. For a short time the field is blooming, pretty, green, colored with vast flowers, yet they all die. Then a new season and a new crop comes in. So is man and his life.

Psalms 103:15  As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
16  For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
17  But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children;
18  To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.

We hear so much about the carbon footprint. There are those trying to save ‘mother earth’ and telling man he must reduce his carbon footprint. For the earth is dying because of us. It seems that many of these ‘greenies’ would be happy if we who make the carbon footprints just die so ‘mother earth’ will survive. Scripture, however, tells us that the ‘earth is devoured with the curse’, that man ‘destroys the earth’. In all the cycles of life and mans know how, he has never found out how to stop or nullify that one thing which is killing us. That is sin. This one thing we call sin must be dealt with. Men and women today ignore this word, sin. They go on living their meager lives in vanity not understanding this life alone is only the beginning. Beyond this life is true life, eternal life, and redemption. A re-uniting with our God and LORD forever in a ‘new heaven and earth’. Also beyond life is ‘true death’, an eternal separation from God who is Holy. Without Him, his ‘love of the truth’, man is lost and without God or hope in this world and the next.

Isaiah 24:6  Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.

Revelation 11:18  And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

For now men leave their footprints on the earth. God see’s those prints, which consist of the things men and women do daily. Footprints that are the result of the way they have walked, lived, and then died. Men honor men when they die if they have left a footprint honorable in their sight. We have in the earth monuments, books, streets, cities, and much more to honor the past footprints of men and women. Yet in the end of it all, from eternity, these will all pass by. For this God in the very end will destroy and bring an end to this life, its vanity, and all that is in it. Why? Because it is all vanity, in sin and in rebellion against God! This is his earth and he will prepare a place for himself and all those who love him.

Ecclesiastes 7:15  All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness.

In this, as believers and being saved from the death that results from being separated from our God, we have life. This life is in Christ, it was he who offered up his life as an atonement for our sins. He bore our sins, therefore by our hope in him and his work, we shall enter into eternity in his course and offerings. This means, as we stand before the throne of God, we do so in the ‘mercy of God’ through ‘Christ’ who offered himself up for us. His blood shed, covers our sins, therefore, our sins are covered by this offering up of Christ, the Lamb of God.

Hebrews 9:27  And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
28  So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

As I write this, I remember my own Grandfather. He was a good man, a man of good character and was on the pages of the L.A. Times during World war II. He was many things, a father, husband, mariner, a City manager, a game warden, a fire chief, and my grandfather. I see the picture of him on my desktop. He was a man’s man, a golden gloves boxing champion. But in all this, one whom I knew from a distance, was in fact an atheist. I know his footprints, what he did, but I do not really know him. I knew my other grandfather, but even though I worked with him, ate at his table, and slept under his roof, his life ended without me really getting to know him. I knew him briefly but really did not come to know him, yet he also did not actively speak about God. I know his footprints, his ability as a farmer, husband, grandfather, but little else. He died and today, he with my other grandfather are only memories, on a desktop, from a picture, and in those brief moments I spent with each of them before they died.

2 Peter 3:10  But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11  ¶Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12  Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13  Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

I remember my mother who died during Christmas. I also know of the heartbreak, the sickness, the terrible times she went through. I know the last time she recognized me, I also know of the former times when we would talk on the phone to each other discussing so much. I also remember the time that she wanted to go be with the LORD, she had enough. This was indeed one of the last times she recognized me and was coherent. She said that the LORD Jesus told her it was not her time yet. All of it vanished in a moment. Now my dad who is in his mid eighties faces life as a bachelor. I visit with him, know him, and what he is like, but he also will come to a time when life will end. What then?

It is to this end, we who have hope, must work and make our footprints count. They must be for the LORD and for those things he loves. There will be a time when in heaven, living in that eternal portal with the LORD that we shall know even as we are also known. We will know our past loved ones who are with the LORD. Christ died for us, but if we just had Christ to get us through this life alone, then all is lost. For Christ came to save the ungodly and the sinner. He came to deliver us into the Fathers eternal kingdom forever. Our Hope is in Christ, which is with him and the Father in Eternity. With us there will be all those who are saved, including our loved ones. Therefore, let us sorrow not, as others who have no hope. Let us know that this Footprint is in the world through Christ and through Christ we will be in eternity.

1 Thessalonians 4:13  ¶But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14  For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

As Israel prepares for what could be an attack or a counter attack from Iran, one thing remains  certain, we here in Israel are certainly preparing for war.  With constant preparations of our missile defense systems the Arrow anti-missile, the THAAD and something I believe to be new for Israel the AEGIS.  The IDF, IAF and Reserves are training every week now for different types of seniors.  It is now known that Iran has the capabilities of sending split warheads, and a large barrage of missiles at one time.  With the new radar bases set up in Israel it is possible to have several minutes of warning after Iran launches the first missile.

What I am about to say may come as a surprise to most reading this.  It is my belief that Iran is not all that ready to attack Israel, for they know it would be committing suicide for the majority of its people.  That does not mean that Israel isn’t on their agenda simply because from child hood Arabs are taught to hate and to kill Jews.  But what Iran is most interested in at this point is total control of the Persian Gulf, Israel isn’t in there way for taking  control, but the US Navy is.  As Iran keeps all the attention on the possibility of  wiping Israel off the map, (not likely) instead of what they are really planning  and that is a massive attack on the USA.  It has been reported in the past that they have been working on the capability to launch Ballistic Missiles off of commercial cargo ships that will be in range  of the US coast lines with no problem giving them the ability to reach any US city almost at will.  Even though it is never spoken of, there are few who don’t believe Iran has already purchased nuclear warheads for many of their missiles, and we are suppose to believe they can only obtain them by making their own. Then it is no secret that sleepers cells have been put into place across the US as well and waiting on the orders to go into action.  In the mean time all eyes are on the ancient war between Ishmael and Isaac and to be certain that war does exist and will continue to go forward until the Prince of Peace returns.

To add fuel to the fire we hear many reports, one that surfaced yesterday was that the Israeli Air-Force while on exercises near Gibraltar had planned an attack on the Iranian Air-Force during a recent air-show where they had planned a parade, but was tipped off by the Russians Intelligence that the IAF was going to hit all their fighter jets crippling their capabilities much like Israel did in 1967 to Egypt, so Iran dispersed all its fighter jets to isolated locations in Iran and canceled the air-show.

In the mean-time the so-called “Palestinians” are still sending home-made and Iranian rockets into our civilian populations without National News agencies reporting  this war crime.  Yesterday the IAF bombed more Hamas smuggling tunnels in the Rafah area on the border of Egypt ion response to incoming missiles, of course only Israel was  condemned  by the UN.

This new Obama administration is going from one decoy to another to keep the eyes of the world distracted for what lies ahead, now it is the H1N1 Swine Flu.  It is now being reported that all those who died in Mexico were from the poorest parts of the population with little to know medical care.  Most who have contacted the Swine flu in the US and Israel have already recovered and been released from hospitals.

I am asked all the time do I believe that Obama is the anti-Christ, the answer to that is no, but he is certainly anti-Christ, and it has now become very obvious that he has used his first 100 days to cater to the enemies of the US and Israel and mostly to the Arab Islamic world.  He has proven beyond any doubt he is no friend to Israel and has plans to bring UN forces into this land and force Israel to accept a two state solution with people who will not even accept our existence.

There are many Scriptures that Obama should take the time to read, not that it would open his eyes.  One that we have heard in ways that seems to direct  judgment from God toward Gog and Ma-Gog but possibly we should consider it also for the USA  Keeping in mind what is developing.  Read the following with the possibility it is in fact speaking of the USA.

Zechariah 14: 12-13  AND THIS SHALL BE THE PLAGUE WHEREWITH THE LORD WILL SMITE ALL THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE FOUGHT AGAINST JERUSALEM:  THEIR FLESH SHALL CONSUME AWAY WHILE THEY STAND UPON THEIR FEET, AND THEIR EYES SHALL CONSUME AWAY IN THEIR HOLES, AND THEIR TONGUE SHALL CONSUME AWAY IN THEIR MOUTH.

AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS IN THAT DAY, THAT A GREAT TUMULT FROM THE LORD SHALL BE AMONG THEM; AND THEY SHALL LAY HOLD EVERY ONE ON THE HAND OF HIS NEIGHBOR, AND HIS HAND SHALL RISE UP AGAINST THE HAND OF HIS NEIGHBOR.

I know already that I will receive emails and letters telling me that I am preaching fear, well maybe so, for if that is the only way to get some to open their eyes so be it.  One thing is certain if I’d preach everything will be ok then if nothing happen in the next few months or year I’d be loved by many.  But what I am telling you is what I believe the Holy Spirit is showing me, there will be no way for me to tell you I told you so.  What is important to this Messenger is to say the things I feel God puts on my heart and that is just what I’ve always done and will continue to do.

As for preparations there is really only one important way to prepare, and that is to draw very close to Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus the Messiah).  It is required of you to provide protection for you family, and if you don’t you are like an Infidel. (I-Tim.5:8) There are many articles that I have written in site www.thegoldenreport.com that would help you prepare for your family and loved ones.

This Ministry has been called to save Jewish lives, and only those who have been touched by the Rauch Hakoddesh (Holy Spirit) can or will be able to understand that.  And those who know what is at stake in this calling they have come to grips with the meaning of Gen. 12:3.  We need the larger boat and I believe the time is closing in on us, but we still have time if enough will act in obedience to God’s touch.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem for our son Joel and all the IDF soldiers.  Pray for this Ministry and your part in it.  Shalom, jerry

America, Receiving the Cursing of God

America, Receiving the Cursing of God
By Dana G Smith
Words: 940
Keywords: judgment, Casper, Wyoming, America, church

Over the years I have had several Prophets or Watchmen prophesy of coming judgments on America. The most reoccurring theme is that Casper Wyoming will be hit with a nuke. I know the government only believes those things they can prove. Howbeit, we still went into Iraq and were not able to prove a thing of what they said. Still all these years later, not much of what was said by our intelligence service, if you can call it that, ( an oxymoron – the word intelligence and service next to one another) came to pass as being true and verified.. Having said that, I do not go by physical evidence, simply put it is prophecy, faith, and the Word of G-d combined.

I was first told that Casper would be just one of many cities hit by nukes years ago. I had a Radio broadcast over WWCR and WHR. The segment I did was broadcast into some 130 countries or more. On many occasions I told of coming destruction to America. One of those episodes was heard by a viewer who wrote in. This person was a Minister, prophet and worked overseas. The Lord had called him back to America to warn this nation of coming judgment. In his letter he pointed out that Casper would be hit, along with many others.

Today, many years later I am still warning America and the church. I also know of judgment coming to Casper Wyoming. Before it did not make much sense, but that was before Dick Cheney was elected. Now the powers that be, those forces that want to strike America and make a statement will have a perfect target. For if they hit Casper, they can point to it being the home of Cheney, by doing this they will be saying “see, nothing is hid from us, we can strike anywhere in the U.S.A.”.

The warnings continue to come across my desk. Just this year, the later part, I have had two separate ministries that prophesied of destruction of Casper Wyoming by a nuke, or a partial nuke, believing it to be a dirty bomb.  There is no doubt the evidence over the last many years is mounting and that something is coming to this neck of the woods. But to be sure, there is more coming to America than most would believe.

I personally believe the L-rd has revealed his will on this manner, not only to me, but too many Watchmen and prophets. Many in the church, especially the ones over the years we have tried to warn, refuse to believe it. They are lulled to sleep in the apathy of the church. They are comforted by false doctrines. They are fed by lack luster priests and prophets in the church who are wolves in sheep’s clothing. That which is coming is nigh at the door and most will not know it until it hits.

There is no doubt that the US economy will hit the dumps soon, just as the dollar continues to sink and foreigners buy up all they can at reduced prices, since their money is strong to our debt ridden dollar. The dollar we call fiat currency.  The economy will sink mainly, I believe because of the increasing oil costs, and the many catastrophes that are coming. There are major earthquakes, storms, plagues, more natural disasters, and even terrorist strikes coming in this nation. These will be so severe that it will be clear that these events were never to be expected. The day of telling people, this happened before will be over. For those things coming will be unique, terrible, and cost millions of dollars. Then there is the loss of life. This too will be tremendous.

As America continues to cast off The L-rd G-d and revel in its debauchery, her enemies will surround her. I believe very strongly that our nation will be invaded not just with illegal aliens, but in fact real armies. There is coming a day soon when our shores for the first time since the minor invasion of the Islands off the Coast of Alaska by Japan, will happen again. This time, you had better believe that both Russia and China, along with a few allies will take a major step and invade this nation. At that time, millions will die; this doesn’t even say the weapons of mass destruction that will go off in major cities.  When you see that this is coming, remember there are earthquakes that will destroy major coastlines, cities, and kill many as well. There will be terrible plagues and diseases of all kinds which will go forth to destroy.

The nation you once knew as America will not survive. As a matter of fact, it is dead already. We still have an idea of the America we once knew, but that is fast vanishing, for many will not believe these words, nor will they prepare. But I tell you today, no matter who you are, you need to repent and seek the L-rd G-d will all your heart mind and soul. Then seek Him daily and pray for your loved ones and for yourself to be able to escape all these things coming (see Luke 21:36).  There will still be a continent that may or may not be named America, but the idea, ideals, and freedoms it enjoyed as a result of G-d’s blessings will not exist. Instead, the nation will know as Israel of old found out that is what it is like to receive the curse of G-d.

The Harlot on the Precipice!

The Harlot on the Precipice!
A Psalm
By the Watchman
Dana G Smith
keywords: harlot, abominations, mistress, LORD

“thy days are numbered with the number of the beast, thy days are numbered down and counting”

thy days are numbered with the number of the beast, thy days are numbered down and counting

Isaiah 1:21 ¶How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.

The Harlot has stood up.
Yea, she has declared, “not I, NOT I”.
By what abominations do I live,
Am I judged by the LORD,
Nay, but we have please Him.
Our satchels are clean.
Our lips are pure.
Our hearts are as a crystal spring.
From whence cometh thy words?

Ezekiel 16:15 ¶But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications on every one that passed by; his it was.
Ezekiel 16:16 And of thy garments thou didst take, and deckedst thy high places with divers colours, and playedst the harlot thereupon: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.

The mistress of abominations,
Yea, she does deny all her sins.
For thus the Watchman says,
Listen well O’ harlot,
Your eye is filled with pride,
The prick of the needle,
The goad of the stick,
The life well led in sin,
This does not move you.
You have made a covenant with death,
and with iniquity you are bedfellows,
Thy way is abominable to the LORD!

Micah 1:7 And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered it of the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot.

LORD, Deliver us from Egypt

Oh, LORD, Deliver us from Egypt

By the Watchman Dana G Smith

Babylon, NY, Egypt, Rome, Roman Empire, Carnal
Greetings in the Name of the only LORD God, even our Father, and his blessed Son, Jesus Christ, Y’shua Ha Massiach. May you be found in him, perfect, before him in love, for that which is coming, is now and has been upon us. For we are now and will be more so, a spectacle to the whole world. The skirts of this nation and its people will be raised as the firm stroke of judgment takes a strong hand. The pride and wickedness of men and nations has reached the throne of God long ago, but his grace has sent warnings through his messengers. Up till now America and its people have been able to play, work, and ignore such warnings as ‘insane babbling’s of religious nuts. But now, the day of the Watchman is close at hand and they will not be able to dismiss it anymore.

Furthermore, we understand that the people in Noah’s day surely did not know judgment of waters were about to take them. They beheld the daily witness of the righteous man and did nothing to repent. It was the LORD God who closed the door to the ark, wherein eight souls were only left alive. The judgment so severe, that God swore by himself, through a rainbow as a sign, that he would not do so as this again. Since that time, no such waters and floods have covered the earth, the LORD is true to his word. Yet, in this judgment, the people did not know this was a sure destruction upon them until the flood carried them away. So too, this nation will not know until the final hour and moment when the judgment is in its heavy courses that indeed, the God, the Eternal Amen, the Alpha and Omega is angry with the wickedness and pride of the nation. But not this one alone, for he will judge the nations and the people who have rejected him.
