Deuteronomy 33:26 ¶There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky.
27 The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.

When Trouble Arises what shall men do?
Hear, for I shall speak,
The sons of men shall faint in their very vanity,
But the LORD shall be my shield and defense.
When the enemy cometh to destroy,
You, in my God shall I be found.

Jeremiah 30:7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.

I will not fear what evil men can do.
I will walk by thy close guidance oh Lord.
Indeed, thy light shall lead me,
Yea during the day of darkness,
Peace shall encompass me,
Thy rest shall bring me strength,
I will walk among the angels of God,
For the hand of evil will not touch me.

Nahum 1:7 The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.The Lord is my banner,

He is my love,
He brings me to his bosom,
In Him, shall I be found,
For there wickedness shall not find me.

YSHUA is LORD

His salvation shall bring me home,
Yea home to his redemption.
Home in the midst of joy,
Everlasting shall his rest be.
Yea to his rest will I be brought,
For he is faithful,
He is true,
He is light,
His love surrounds his people,
Those who keep his Word,
Those who keep the testimony of Y’SHUA,
Those who honor his commandments,
For this is love.

John 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.

Love thy God with all thy might,
Love thy neighbor as thyself,
“If you love me”, saith he,
“Then keep my commandments.”
Yea, to the Lord belongs Honor,
Glory, amen unto the Lord,
For the Eternal shall save his people.

Again, this shall he do most righteously,
He shall rule from Zion,
He shall establish Jerusalem,
He shall bring in His kingdom,
Even so, let it come, let it be,
Oh Lord do thy work!

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

Bless the LORD
Bless his name,
For he is holy,
Let it be written,
“It already is” saith my God;
“I have declared the end from the beginning”,
“I AM” saith the LORD,
“Eternal”,
“There is no other God”,
“There is no other Savior”,
“I AM”, Saith He;
“I AM”.

Let me declare the declaration,
Let me give the testimony,
The LORD is my Rock,
He is my Salvation,
This is my God, The Eternal,
I AM, the God of all Gods,
Even my Father,
Who gave of his only begotten Son,
Y’SHUA, Jesus Christ for the sins of men!

2 Corinthians 3:3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
4 And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:

Of which, he saved Sinners,
by his sacrifice on the cross,
He is the Lamb of God,
King of Kings,
LORD of Lords,
My savior,
My LORD,
Who saved me,
The chief of all sinners,
Without him there is no salvation,
In him,
We are redeemed,
Eternally in this God,
Our Savior,
Forever!

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

Let it be written,
Let it be witnessed,
This is the True God,
And Y’SHUA Ha Massiach,
Jesus Christ is his only begotten Son,
Blessed be the LORD,
Who has done this!

The Time Appointed

In The time Appointed
By the Watchman Dana G Smith

God above all heavens

In 1962 an album was released titled ‘The Bitter and the Sweet’ on Columbia Records. On this album was a song that did not become popular right away. The song had been composed to music by Pete Seeger in the 50′s and recorded on his 1962 album.  The Song, however, did not gain much notoriety though.  The song if I mentioned it would immediately come to your lips and the chorus as well.  Before Pete recorded it the Limeliters put it on their RCA records label and in their album called “To Everything there is a Season”. It would be later recorded and released in an album in October of 1965 by the Byrd’s who were formed in Los Angeles in 1964. The song was called, “Turn, Turn, Turn!”

During the turbulent 60′s with Vietnam, unrest, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the assassination of President Kennedy, many young people were swept up in this tide. A tide that was described so well in Pete Seeger’s song which was made number one by the Byrd’s release of  “Turn, Turn, Turn”.  It was indeed a time to be born, to die, to plant, pluck up, kill, heal, break down, build up, weep, laugh, mourn, dance, to get, to lose, to keep, to cast away, to rend, to sew, to keep silent, to speak, to love, to hate, to war, and a time of peace. It was this generation that protested the government for these kids did not trust them, and about this time came the ‘Jesus People’ or ‘Jesus Freaks’ upon the scene.

From Drugs, alcohol, free sex, rebellion, tune in, turn on, and drop out! This was the motto, all brought to a stoned generation of young people who listened to Dr. Timothy Leary. It was the generation that would epitomize the song itself. Today as I look back, truly, the song describes perfectly this generation of Americans.

Ecclesiastes 3:1  ¶To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2  A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3  A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4  A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5  A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6  A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7  A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8  A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

This has been the richest generation of all in America. We have been swept up in the greed of the century as banks fail,  company’s fall, and nations go under heavy stresses of debt laden markets. We as Americans today have eaten more and with much more gusto. There is nothing we do not have to enjoy. The finest of Foods, wine, cheeses, meats, and seafood! The finest of everything!

We live in the biggest houses, most luxurious living accommodations on the earth at any time. We drive the biggest cars and trucks, using oil to fuel them. Fuel which we don’t have. Our farms and ranches are some of the most productive on earth. We have technology that makes the public forget the way things use to be. Today we are dependent on instant messaging, world wide Internet, satellite radio, pictures from space, men on the moon, and much more. Our churches are the biggest on earth with the most luxurious fixtures ever. From crystal, gold, silver, brass, and more, we fill up the sanctuaries across the land. We are rich, not only rich, but filthy rich. We are comfortable, not just comfortable, but lie amidst our furnishings as if tomorrow’s judgment will never arrive.

In short, if you follow the song from Ecclesiastes and understand why the generation accepted it so well, you too will see this generation in that song. It is time tested!

Moreover, in a ‘time appointed’ God made sure this land America was founded. In a ‘time appointed’ there came true believers to this land. In a ‘time appointed’ there was great revivals and people who walked in holiness in the fear of God. In a ‘time appointed’ there was wars, peace, and much more. Amidst all this, evil was around! Evil men acted wickedly, and plotted against the righteous and against their God. Today this plotting of the Wicked is summed up on Psalm 2 and we are seeing it unfold before us today!

I want to tell you that there is a ‘time appointed’ for all what God does! It is in his timing. When I first told someone about the visions I had as a young man it was 1973 to my wife. About that time, David Wilkerson came out with a startling book called ‘The Vision’, which described judgment coming on America. Now all that time has passed and this judgment of total destruction has not come yet! Yet much has occurred! When I started working to do as the LORD called me to do as a Watchman, I knew it could be anytime when all these things would or could occur. I lived and still do from day to day, believing this could be the day. Yet it has not come, but I know it will. Be it 2 years, 3 years, 7 years, or 30 more years, I know, that I know, this judgment will hit America and she will never be the same. Jeremiah preached destruction to Israel so much, they hated his message and him. He preached for decades about coming judgment, yet it did not come for many years.  There is an expanse of time that God allows, it is called the ‘word of his patience’.

The Apostle John was in Patmos and knew well of the patience he would need to walk day by day. He did so and in this walk suffered tribulation and trial. We are all to keep the LORDS ‘word of his patience.’   In his own timing, according to his plan, while we keep his patience, he will fulfill all that he has said!

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

Revelation 3:10  Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

When we first were called into the ministry years ago, my wife and I sold our home, left our jobs, packed up the kids and our belongings and took a uhaul across the plains to a little ‘bible college’. We did this to fulfill what the LORD had called us to do. During that time we found others with deep callings, some to a far away nation.

It was in this environment we learned, fellowshipped, and found that in all this, we still had much to learn. But we also found Gods hand hard to bear as he would lead us and if we got out of line or needed correction, he would as a Father correct us. Believe you me, I know his firm hand.  We studied, prayed, and worked through it all. Today I still remember fondly those days. We had ‘koininia’ groups, or what many call ‘cell groups’ where we would gather. We backed one another, shared with each other, and truly loved one another. But today, we have been divided by time and miles. Although I remember how I loved them and still do, it is not the same. I have not heard from them for many years. I have also seen how the enemy has struck them. Some finding hardships on the missions field and after all the years of preparation, came home early, then divorcing. I also found others, friends whom I loved splitting up and leaving each other after all the years of preparation. There are many times when those who are called, in the journey find the attacks of the enemy so severe that they give up. Believe me, in all this, I have learned, ‘There is a God appointed time.’ There is in this ‘time appointed’ a time for victory, a time for defeat, a time for everything that is under the sun to happen. For in all this, our enemy is never far away from us, but neither is our LORD who is our strength. This then is the choice you and I must make daily, to understand the ‘time appointed’ of the LORD and to make the best use of it all for him.

When we went to bible college, graduated, and finally had our Ministry credentials, we all thought we had made it. But sadly, that was just the beginning! What we had done was just open up a whole new level of warfare against us. In this war, which became a battle, and at times we lost, the whole point was to one way or another in Gods grace to keep going. Even though it was tough, and even tougher than you could ever know, we kept going!

I remember in school we were told that ‘ if this is where you are called too, that is to bible school to prepare for the LORDS ministry’, then this is where your to be! If the LORD was to come at that point, then even if we never made it to full time ministry, we were where the LORD had called us too! Even today, we know that judgment is here and will get worse. As I write this, more young people are graduating from schools as we went to and are beginning their ministry. Many others are leaving America’s shores for a four year tenure as a Missionary! What if it all falls apart? What if all hell breaks loose and they are stranded in some foreign country? What IF? That is the call they accepted! In Gods appointed time, it will happen, no matter where you are or what you are doing! If they are stranded in a third world nation, with not a dime or any food, what then? Well, they will seek the LORD God who is their help, he will hear! But in all this, there is a ‘time appointed.’ So today, seek the LORD, pray, and follow him with your whole heart! Be not fearful, but walk in faith, having the testimony of Jesus Christ. Let this be with you wherever you go or whatever you do, then when ‘Gods appointed time’ occurs, you will be where your supposed to be and in his will!

Acts 14:22  Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.

Here are some scriptures for you to consider in the ‘time appointed’!

The LORD set a ‘time appointed’ for Sarah to have a son, it was not Sarah’s or Abram’s time appointed, but the LORDS!

Genesis 18:14  Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.

The LORD set a ‘appointed time’ for Judgment to strike Egypt

Exodus 9:5  And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land.
6  And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.

David’s Sin of Numbering the People, there came a ‘time appointed’ for judgment upon Israel for the sin.

2 Samuel 24:10  ¶And David’s heart smote him after that he had numbered the people. And David said unto the LORD, I have sinned greatly in that I have done: and now, I beseech thee, O LORD, take away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.
11  For when David was up in the morning, the word of the LORD came unto the prophet Gad, David’s seer, saying,
12  Go and say unto David, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee three things; choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.
13  So Gad came to David, and told him, and said unto him, Shall seven years of famine come unto thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee three months before thine enemies, while they pursue thee? or that there be three days’ pestilence in thy land? now advise, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me.
14  And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall now into the hand of the LORD; for his mercies are great: and let me not fall into the hand of man.
15  So the LORD sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning even to the time appointed: and there died of the people from Dan even to Beersheba seventy thousand men.

Job saw an ‘appointed time’ for man on the earth as a hireling! This chapter describes the fullness of this righteous mans miseries, such a strait that even his comforters saw his sufferings and thought him to have sinned against God.

Job 7:1  ¶Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are not his days also like the days of an hireling?

At the ‘time appointed’ of the father, he sent for his Son, made of a woman, made under the law! To redeem them that were under the law that we might be adopted. Because we are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying Abba, Father!

Galatians 4:1  ¶Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
2  But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
3  Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:
4  But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
5  To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
6  And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

The ‘time appointed’  describes when those of understanding who stand against the ‘Son of Perdition’, the beast, in the end times shall fall. For there will be those who do wickedly against the covenant [blood of the covenant] through Christ, and of God. This section describes what I believe is the endtime war between the beast and the children of the woman. For the beast will make war against them, being those who have the faith and testimony of Christ Jesus and keep the commandments of God.

Daniel 11:32  And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
33  And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.
34  Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.
35  And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.
36  And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that is determined shall be done.

We live day by day, in the faith and keeping the testimony of Jesus Christ. We have been grafted in [Romans 11] to the vine [John 15] and are now part of Israel.  Both Jew and Gentile, male and female are one in Christ. But we are to have patience and keep the Word of his patience, for in due time, he will come!

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

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

Revelation 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.

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.

Sun prophetic

A Psalm by the Watchman Dana G Smith

Psalms 18:6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.
7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.

On the Wings of the Wind,
Hear I the LORD God.
On the Wings of the Wind,
Behold, He cometh.
Saith my soul,
“Thou art my God Forevermore,”
For the righteous shall be thy wheat, O Lord.,
Planted, Flourishing, Growing to Harvest.
But the Wicked shall be uprooted,
Discarded, Removed, thrown into the fire.

The Call of The Day of the LORD

The Call of The Day of the LORD
By the Watchman
A Psalm by Dana G Smith
Keywords: Day of the LORD, Eternal, Salvation, Jesus Christ

Day of the LORD

Psalms 18:30  As for God, his way is perfect:
the word of the LORD is tried:
he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

Joel 1:15  Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD is at hand,
and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.

The Lord Eternal, bless his name.
He speaketh, yea, he uttereth.
As Gold refined,
As a shield and a buckler,
A sword, a defense,
So it is when the Lord Speaks.

Shall ye hear O man?
Will ye understand what he sayeth?
For the foolish disregard this,
The Proud mock,
The wise man, though, understands and listens!
Yea, he heareth when the Eternal sayeth;
“I AM HOLY, be ye HOLY”

1 Peter 1:16  Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

Will you hear O vain man?
For the Eternal commands;
“Repent ye”,
Will you continue to ignore this?

Acts 17:30  And the times of this ignorance God winked at;
but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

To your own peril O man,
To your own foolishness,
Will ye refuse him that calleth?
Again he sayeth, The Eternal One:

Isaiah 66:4  I also will choose their delusions,
and will bring their fears upon them;
because when I called, none did answer;
when I spake, they did not hear:
but they did evil before mine eyes,
and chose that in which I delighted not.

The day worketh the Hours,
The sun passes its courses,
But the Lord of Hosts commandeth it all!
Who can understand this?
Who will listen now?
For time passes, men forget, and life continues on.
All of it out of the Mercy of God,
Yet man curses the Holy One whom is benevolent towards them.

Zephaniah 1:14  ¶The great day of the LORD is near, it is near,
and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD:
the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.

Hear O foolish Ones,
Time is short,
The Day approaches,
Then He in whom all things consist,
Yea, he will bring thee before judgment.
What will you do on that day?

Behold it is a terrible day of distress,
The Day of the Lord,
The purity of our God will be revealed,
And who will stand against his wrath on that day,
A Day of Darkness, wasteness, and judgment!

Jeremiah 46:10  For this is the day of the Lord GOD of hosts,
a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries:
and the sword shall devour, and it shall be satiate and made drunk with their blood:
for the Lord GOD of hosts hath a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.

Ezekiel 30:3  For the day is near, even the day of the LORD is near,
a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen.

Yea, it shall fall upon thee,
Then, in its aftermath, O man,
Naked shall ye be,
Before the throne of the Eternal,
Who by the Judgment of Jesus Christ,
Shall judge all men.

Romans 2:16  In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men
by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

2 Timothy 4:1  ¶I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ,
who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

Awaken,
Awaken,
Awaken,
For the Day of the Lord cometh swiftly,
Upon all nations, all peoples, and all tongues!
Seek the Lord, Repent, and follow him.

Zephaniah 2:3  Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth,
which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness,
seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD’S anger.

For in Christ alone shall ye be hid.
Yea, on that day the Lord shall judge all peoples.

1 Thessalonians 5:6  ¶Therefore let us not sleep, as do others;
but let us watch and be sober.
1 Thessalonians 5:7 For they that sleep sleep in the night;
and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
1 Thessalonians 5:8  But let us, who are of the day, be sober,
putting on the breastplate of faith and love;
and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
1 Thessalonians 5:9  For God hath not appointed us to wrath,
but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

Isaiah 13:6  ¶Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand;
it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.

In truth,
In Equity,
In Holiness.

Yea, shall his kingdom be brought in,
The Kingdom of our Lord and God,
Bless his name all ye people,
For all tongues, knee’s, and peoples shall bless his name,
Bless his Holy name.

Romans 14:11  For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord,
every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

Philippians 2:10  That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

Zephaniah 3:8  ¶Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.

The Coming Calamity and Conspiracy in the Land

By Dana G Smith, The Watchman

The Conspiracy of Silence


Why have my sanctified Ones, those who call upon my name done this?
For they have conspired against me, the LORD
They have kept silent about the Word from the LORD
There is a conspiracy of silence among those who go by my name?
For these keep the words of peace to my people saying,
Peace, peace, when their will be no peace,
There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked!
You have exalted your word above mine,
Your own Excellency above that of my throne,
You have exalted thyself unto heaven,
Therefore, you will be cast down to hell, unless you repent.
But for those who have corrupted my Word, judgment is upon your head.
There is Hope, but in Me saith the Lord,
There is Peace, but in Me saith the Lord,
There is Deliverance, but in Me saith the Lord,
There is Salvation, but in Me saith the Lord.

My own people keep to themselves,
They have forsaken the commandments of the LORD,
They have relegated my words to nothing,
While they have elevated their own traditions above my own head.
Do you think I delight in your peace offerings?
Do I delight in your holy days and feasts?
Do I delight in your holy assemblies?
Your bright cathedrals, where my Spirit is not?
Do I delight in your wicked ways?
Do I delight in your rebellion?
Have I changed?
Do I walk in darkness saith the LORD?

For the LORD saith to the people,
Repent and seek the old paths,
Seek me and live saith the LORD,
Forget that, which the false prophet says,
Relegate the sayings of the day to the fire,
Sanctify the Lord in your heart, amend your ways, and ye shall live!!

For I bring terror upon the land,
The Day of the LORD, bringing judgment comes,
Be wise and live, stay stubborn in your ways and ye shall surely perish,
For I the Lord separate the chaff from the wheat,
The wicked from the righteous,
That which is mine, from that destined to the fire.
Awake, Rise and be healed!
Why should you perish my people?
Listen, rejoice in me saith the Lord, For I come,
But justice, judgment, and equity come with me,
Righteousness is my glory, and eternity is in my right hand,
For I alone do all this,
I shall save to the uttermost,
Be ye wise and live.

“Conspiracy- of Silence, The Twelve Exhortations”

Confederacy: strongs 7195, qeser, conspiracy, treason, made a conspiracy, conspiracy made [to plot, to be bound up, conspirators]

In the original King James version, Isaiah 8, verse 12, says ‘a confederacy’, in the New King James, it says ‘conspiracy’. It means conspiracy, treason, see above.

Isaiah 8:11  For the LORD spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,
12  Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.
13  Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
14  And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15  And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
16  ¶Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
17  And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
18  Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.
19  And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?
20  To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
21  And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward.
22  And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness.

There is a conspiracy, a confederacy, those who have cut a covenant to deceive, We find this word in Obadiah 1:7. Today in this land, we have many conspiracies, but the main one is within the church today, people who have sold their desires to the world for their own purposes.

This land called America will not fall because of the economy, not because of oil, or the shortage of it. It will not fall because of war, debt, hatred, violence, or some other nation that invades it. It will fall because it has rejected the LORD of Hosts who ruleth from heaven among the nations. See Psalm 2.

Confederacy: strongs 1285, berit,

Covenant, treaty, compact, agreement, “to cut a covenant”, [serious implications for those involved in such an agreement that do not fulfill their part of it], from the word baal berit, baal [lord of the covenant],

Obadiah 1:7  All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee even to the border: the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee; they that eat thy bread have laid a wound under thee: there is none understanding in him.

The people would see terror in the land. They would see it as a conspiracy, people who formed together, bound up by an agreement to cause harm in the land for their own purposes. When this happens, many people will fear the terror in the land, they will see conspiracies and theories. But the People of the LORD, his disciples are to know and understand, this terror is sent into the land because of judgment and fire for the wickedness and pride of the people in the land.

The Lord spoke to Isaiah very strongly, saying not to walk as the people of the land walked. They would see the Lords judgment, as mans conspiracy. They would fear therefore, men and nations who did bring such things to pass. All the while, It was the Lord.

The Lord thus spoke strongly to Isaiah to do this:

1. Do not say this is a conspiracy as the other do!

2. Do not fear what they fear, nor dread what they dread!

3. Sanctify the Lord of hosts, let him be your fear, let him be your dread!

17  Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18  I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

10. To the law and the testimony, if people do not speak according to this word it is because there is no light in them.

Jeremiah 23:22  But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
23  Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off?
24  Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.
25  I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
26  How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;
27  Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.
28  The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD.
29  Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?
30  Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.
31  Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.
32  Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD.

Ezekiel 14:4  Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols;
5  That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.
6  Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations.
7  For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a prophet to enquire of him concerning me; I the LORD will answer him by myself:
8  And I will set my face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
9  And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
11. The people will be angry, hungry, and much terror will be in the land. They will curse the President, the congress, the government, and God himself, looking upward to heaven.

Revelation 13:5  And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6  And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7  And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
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.

12. They will look around in the earth and see trouble, darkness, chaos, trouble, anguish, and they will be driven to darkness, not understanding.

Zephaniah 1:14  ¶The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.
15  That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,
16  A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers.
17  And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung.
18  Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD””S wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.

The Lord has warned you, yet you did not listen.
Is it not written: Also, I set watchmen over you saying, ‘listen to the sound of the trumpet’, but they said, ‘we will not listen’.

Therefore, the calamity that I will bring upon this people shall come.
You have refused to listen.
Your ears are turned away.
Your heart is fixed upon your own ways; the land is full of blood.
Will you recognize it when it comes, surely it has been written:

2 Thessalonians 2:10  And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11  And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12  That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Isaiah 66:4  I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.

Iniquity flows in the streets,
Idolaters, harlots, have you become,
Enchantments have taken your heart,
Yet you say Lord, Lord!
Where is my justice?
Where is my mercy?
This shall be said in the day I bring this to happen.

Away, Away,
In the land of the America’s,
Where thy freedoms have been granted,
Freely you did roam!
You have nourished your rebellion.
You have blinded the eye,
And you have stopped the ear.
Yet even for this shall ye cry unto me on the day calamity comes.
Turn from your sin,
Turn from your rebellion,
Then I shall hear.
For I have sent criers to you declaring my Word, but you did not listen.
As in the days of old, before your nation arose out of nothing,
I gave my warnings to a people near, but yet far from my heart.
They refused me, so I carried them away, are you more righteous than they?
Your pride has brought you to destruction,
Your error has led you to the abyss,
Will you hear now?

Surely as the day calamity arrives, you will call Lord, Lord!
Sackcloth, ashes, dust, and misery will be your companions.
Seek the mediums, the enchanters, those who bring familiars,
Let their wisdom and devices save you from my hand.
Find your Gods of silver and gold,
Seek the strong and mighty to keep you,
Yet in all this, in vanity shall your error be,
For nothing shall deliver you from my terror,
Justice, and the fire of judgment.

You cannot stop it nor evade it,
For the Lord is sending it upon the people.
Hear ye the Word,
Listen and seek me that you will be saved.

Joel 2:12  ¶Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
13  And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.

Psalms 57:1  ¶<> Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.
2  I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.
3  He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.

The Ship of Illusion

In America, we find all kinds. Our nation and the many nations of men make up many beliefs. There is no doubt today, technology, know how, and our attitude that we can handle whatever comes our way, has made us somewhat foolish. In our knowledge, many times, we discount a God which is involved in the affairs of men. When in truth, the hearts of the kings, princes, presidents, and those rulers who may even deny him, are in the hands of the LORD. After all, the LORD is the Governor among the nations. It is he who rules, period, no matter whether men like it or not!

Psalms 22:28  For the kingdom is the LORD’S: and he is the governor among the nations.



Ship of fools


A Psalm written by Dana G. Smith
Given by the Lord

I see a ship of fools…
a drift in a sea of madness…
blown about by the winds of pride.
Self destruction is their rudder…
yhe devil their captain.
Pleasure and excess is the mast…
blown about by the winds of pride.
Full of holes, full of holes, yet they see them not.
A Ship, its cabins filled with self seekers…
blown about by the winds of pride.
These who are lost in the dark of the night,
possessed by the spirit of madness…
blown about by the winds of pride.
Truly, this is a people who forgot their God.

The end.

Moreover, prosperity in the nations has made many men and women to be self sufficient. The man who earns money, builds his own castles so to speak, and has amassed a fortune; many times has trouble believing in a God you cannot see, hear, or touch. Leastwise, they think such a God, if he exists is one which is unavailable for comment on many subjects. His line is busy, his table is full, and he doesn’t want to be bothered. In all these notions are those who are filling the table of society with many books that discount God totally. Books coming out today are bringing such an unbelieving attitude with them. Such is the case with some published in 2007. Richard Dawkins wrote the “The God Delusion”, while Christopher Hitchens wrote “God is not Great: “How Religion Poisons Everything”, and Sam Harris wrote, “Letter to a Christian Nation”, then Daniel C Dennett wrote “Breaking the Spell: Religion as a Natural Phenomenon.” Dennis Prager, in an article titled “Why Atheist Books are Bestsellers” interviewed three of the four authors mentioned above.

He said of the interviews:

“In my opinion-and I dialogued with three of the four authors on my radio show (Dawkins has refused to come on)-the arguments put forth are far more emotional than intellectual, and even secular liberal journals have written devastating reviews of the Hitchens and Dawkins books.” [Whistleblower, pg 44, Sept 2007]

As we walk down this path, remember scripture says it twice! What you ask? This is what: “The fool hath said in his hear, There is no God!” Now I did not call those who declare “there is no God” a fool, scripture said it. Today, though, many have accepted such beliefs. In fact, many others have wandered into the abyss of lukewarmness and the church is full of those who are religious infidels, that is, people who walk and are smoothed by religious ways, but are no more saved than the demons who walk under the Devil himself.

Psalms 14:1  ¶<> The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalms 53:1  ¶<> The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.

America today is a ship, a ship that is becoming more and more like a “ship of fools”. One where they assume their strength today is of their own doing, not thinking that the foundations of belief in a Holy God has anything to do with it. Nor the fact of walking in a righteous way, avoiding those things which are despicable, but today, America is making room for any kind of filth to be labeled as A-OK. Today, our society is wavering and even though, it is headed for trouble, disaster in fact, many ignore the signs. Over the years, America and those who live here have never seen, leastwise in the last 50 years to one hundred years, ongoing plagues, bloodshed, and violence like many other nations. We have had our own troubles, sure, but for many people today, they have enjoyed freedom, wealth to some degree, safety, homes to live in, comforts along with that home, freedom to talk, freedom to seek whatever job one wants, freedom in all its aspects have truly been ours.

Because we have amassed such ability to live as free men and women, with our desires ready to placated at any stop, we have become an obsessed society, an over fed society, wealthy, in need of nothing, prideful, arrogant, and have in deed, watered down God to the point that we can do anything we want and still make it to heaven. Such is the case with wicked societies in the past. They forget their past, that is, knowing who is really in charge, and that men, in the final aspects of all he is or does, must answer to a God, who will judge all men and women.

Simply put, Americans today don’t think God will do anything at all! They don’t believe judgment will fall upon this nation. They don’t believe in judgment upon man or woman. They have prospered; their eyes stand out with abundance and fatness. They look upon God as early Israel did and say to themselves, “How doth God know, is there knowledge in the most High?” The scripture tells us who these people are, simply put, again, it is the ungodly.

“Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.” Psalms 73:12

I don’t know if you saw the Gallup poll or not. It has been quoted a number of times, I’m sure. The poll question I am bringing up here is the one which asked the public if they would support an atheist for President or not. In the poll, 45% of the people said they would support such a man or woman for President. As a result it led Whistleblower magazine from Worldnetdaily to quip “such a survey is a clear indication that the secularization of society is alive and well.” [IBID]

The society that forgets God, and all the wicked will be turned into hell. Tough words you say, yes, they are a warning, again from the scriptures.

Psalms 9:16  The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
17  The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

The nation that is wise, will see and understand such warnings. Our forefathers knew these warnings, that is why, the undertaking they had, included the Word of God, and the LORD himself. Of course, not all were staunch believers, but the fact that the Ten Commandments are part of our historical heritage should tell us something. The fact also is true, if we are a secular nation, then destruction, which is coming, will be an event occurring in a moment, bringing the nation down quickly. In a moment, a flash, utter consummation and devastation will occur. In George Washington’s farewell address to the nation, he said that “religion and morality” are the indispensable supports of political prosperity. Further, he said “in vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness.”

Believe it or not, America is not a Christian nation. It is secularist and idol worshipping, with a pantheon of Gods, and it is immoral. This nation, which has seen the light of God shine upon it, will in the end, see the “smelter of the Lord” in this land of the free. The sad tribute to this nation is “here lays a nation that thought, in all its blessings, by its own hand, it did receive them”. This is a nation which has thrown out the “fear of the Lord”. Without this, men and women do as they please, believing that God will tolerate their sinful ways and rebellion. The truth is, destruction will come, and all people will receive at the hand of the Lord, the due recompense for their labors on this earth. This will prepare men and women for eternity. For by their labors, belief’s, attitude, and consideration of the LORD and his son Jesus Christ, they will be judged. For many today, the coming trouble’s and trials to this nation brings fear and paranoia. For others, it is the wanting to know the next step. For these, the question is “what must I do now?” For those who read this, there is an answer. The first part of that is to Repent of your sins, and with all your heart do this: Fast, Pray, and seek the Lord. After doing that, or in the course of that, follow those things below.

The Ship of Salvation and Refuge!

I sat down, after I read a short letter to me from one of our friends, as I call them, which are those who visit our sites and hear our shows and then pointedly said to the Lord, “I need a word from you. What are these people to do? How or what should they do, what do I tell them for this day and age we live in.” The Lord gave me a word. But first let me say that besides the physical aspects of preparing your family and yourself by stocking water, food, and other necessities, there is a spiritual dimension that is more important than all others. The Lord told me three things, three words in three sentences for those who would hear it. It is important to know you are already saved, walking with the Lord, and in obedience, that is. The three things the Lord said was: one -Walk in Compassion, two-Grow in Grace, and three-Trust the Lord (meaning to trust in, cling to, believe in),

ONE: Walk in Compassion

Compassion:

1 Peter 3:8  ¶Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous

4835: sympathetic, from hypakoe obedience, with the thought to show an association with another as they suffer, endure, experience suffering, we are to show a passion born out of Love for the savior, and his love in us, pouring forth through us to comfort those, thus we bear an associative sympathetic passion to them, bearing their burdens as ours.

In obedience to the Lord whom we serve, we are to have the passion with which the Lord showed to us and give it to others. In passion, born out of Gods love for us, his love in us, constrains us and moves us to walk in this love, releasing it to as many as the Lord leads us to. This pours forth through us, and we walking as salt and light, lets the stream of grace and love pour from Gods bosom into ours, then through us to those who need it. Thus releasing this torrent of love and grace, the unbeliever and the wicked can then behold the liquid love of God that helps them through the believer who walks in true God called compassion.

Jude 1:22  And of some have compassion, making a difference:

1653:to have mercy on, to show mercy, to show pity to another who is in serious need, usually with an act of kindness to help meet that need, from-eleos-moral quality of feeling compassion, refers to human kindness and to God’s kindness to humankind.
The scripture here refers directly to those in these last days that need help. This scripture is part of a context relating the believers to work to bring people in from destruction and judgment. We find this word compassion is united in the thought of showing mercy, revealing your pity and help those in serious need, with an act of kindness meant to meet that need. It refers to human kindness and to God’s kindness to humankind. Thus as a follower of the God of Glory, you have accepted his Son’s sacrifice on the cross, and his love and compassion should fill your being. You then, let this torrid wave of unstoppable compassion help those who need it and bring them into the ship of safety. Again, this context directly refers to those wicked or unbelievers who need salvation. You are bringing them, literally out of the cold freezing waters of the night. Just like a boat of safety on the waters in the ice berg waters where the Titanic sank, you are that person, in compassion, reaching out of the boat to bring cold freezing people in the ark of safety with you. This is the time of the night, but you are not of the night, you are of the day. So in the midst of wickedness, unbelief, tragedy, bloodshed, violence, and ever kind of evil, you are to walk by faith, compassion, and allow the God compassion to flow through you to deliver men and women to safety. That is, if they will accept it.

Two: Grow in Grace

Grace:

2 Peter 3:17  Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
18  But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

5485: the state of kindness and favor toward someone, often with a focus on a benefit given to the object, by extension, gift, benefit, credit, words of kindness and benefit, thanks, blessing, liberality, thankworthy, from hypostronnyo, to spread out, with the thought to rejoice, be glad, delighted, joyfully, thus showing a way of life illustrating the knowledge of Jesus Christ, walking as he would, showing kindness and favor, spreading out with this behavior to all men and doing it with the thought of rejoicing, being glad you can do this.

This Grace, God showered us with, was undeserved, but he gave it to us, freely. So too, with compassion and even now with grace, these must grow. God wants not just you, but you to be growing to be all you can be in God. He has a well spring of benefits for you and as you grow in these, they will flow out of you. Thus, the grace of God, his kindness and love, will retreat from your heart into others as they behold your servant hood for the Lord. Your grace and growth in it will spread out, a behavior revealed to all men, doing this with a rejoicing, pure joy, and being glad you could release heavens promise to other men and women who need it so desperately. In a world of selfishness, greed, pride, hate, bitterness, strife, and loneliness, to name a few, a believer walking in Grace and growing in it, will bring a true salt and light witness to the darkness they enlighten. Thus, you who have been shown kindness from the Lord, his salvation, his deliverance, his power, his love, and his complete provision, will be yours and yours to give. You can never out grow, get too much of, or ever reach the end of Gods fullness. As a result, the abundance of Grace for you, from God, will never end, he will always be sufficient for you and your needs. For he is all in all and there is no end to him. He is eternity, he is salvation, he encompasses grace, he is truth, and the true light, which enlightens the world.

Three: Trust the Lord

Trust:

Psalms 73:24  Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
25  Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.
26  My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
27  For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.
28  But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.

4268: refuge, shelter, refuge, hope, place of refuge, trust,
This word is mahseh, from maqor meaning fountain, spring, source (of a flow), often with an implication of abundance or freshness, well spring, with the further relationship to mahseya meaning Maaseiah, mahseiah which comes from the word miqtar meaning burning with the implication of a place of refuge-shelter-refuge-hope-place of refuge and trust relating to another Hebrew word connected to Maaseiah which is yhwh or Yahweh, the compound proper name of the LORD (Yahweh), implying personal covenant relationship with the one who exists and/or causes existence.

In the above word Trust found in Psalm 73, there is a direct correlation of the righteous versus the wicked who do not accept God, or his covenant, or his righteousness, or his Grace. The righteous have found this grace and it has been brought through the personal covenant of Yahweh (LORD), through his Messiah or HaMassiah (Masseiah in Hebrew), this being the one who causes to exist or causes existence, and his promise to bring his people through all times good or bad, as they trust in him, through these times to pure salvation and an eternity with Him. This means in all situations, trusting will bring a source, or flow, a fountain from the LORD, enabling you to exist and live in the days we live in. He becomes a shelter, a place of refuge, and trust as the ONE who has given us grace, poured out in us and through us his love, gives us his protection, and as we call upon him, we have his personal Word covenant, through his son, Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMassiah, that we will overcome the world as he overcame the world. No matter what comes, His grace is more than enough for you. So tap into it today, you will be glad, blessed, and happy you did. For we serve a God, who has the last Word on all things. Nothing will happen to you unless he says so. And if anything happens, His grace will sustain you, keep you, provide you with all you need to not only survive, but be an overcomer in this world and the one coming.

John 16:33  These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
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.
