We Are to Be Faithful Watchmen :: By Sean Gooding

Ezekiel 33:1-6

“Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2 ‘Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and say to them: “When I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take a man from their territory and make him their watchman, 3 when he sees the sword coming upon the land, if he blows the trumpet and warns the people, 4 then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and does not take warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood shall be on his own head.

5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, but did not take warning; his blood shall be upon himself. But he who takes warning will save his life. 6 But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.”

In the last few months, I have seen and heard some things that make me wonder. There is a growth of Calvinism that has just taken off in the past few years. It is rampant here in Southern Ontario. The idea that Jesus only died for a select few is heresy at best. I have heard some even speak about babies, and if they die, then only the ones that God knew would be in the elect go to Heaven. All others are damned to Hell.

This is not the character of God. He would never eternally damn the innocent with the guilty. In 2 Peter 3:9, we are told that God is “not willing that any should perish.” If Calvinism is true, then this verse would be a lie. God actually desires that no man shall perish. Over and over again, we hear the call of “whosoever will” can come. The Jews were astonished to find out that salvation was granted to the Gentiles as well in Acts 10.

Ezekiel tells us in these passages that we are to be the watchmen. Why be watchmen if God has already determined who will die and who will live? We are told to blow the trumpet and warn the masses of God’s grace and also of God’s wrath. Once we are faithful to warn, then they are responsible for what happens to them.

One thing I seem to notice about Calvinists is that they are always sure that they are the chosen ones. Often, their kids are as well, but they are not sure about you and yours. This is arrogance shrouded in fake humility. They are in, and you are on the outs with God. But this is not the truth of the Bible. So, let us be faithful watchmen and watchwomen as we see the Day of the Lord getting closer and closer.

  1. Watch the Heavens

We are to keep an eye on the heavens. Jesus will call us to Him soon, and we should be living each day ready to be called. This means that we should be loving the Lord openly and with great fervor. We should love our siblings in the Lord with the same fervor, and by this, we can draw some to the Gospel, John 13:34-35. Read the scriptures, know what to look for, and keep our hearts from being deceived.

One of the things that seems to be growing is a lot of people claiming to have some ‘new’ or ‘special’ revelation from God. They do not. God has revealed to us, in the completed Bible, all we need to know, and nothing is to be added. Beware of people who want your money so that they can tell you what God has for you. They are fleecing you, for the most part. Even if someone is genuine, check the scriptures before you swallow their message.

Sadly, there are a lot of Christians who do not understand or even desire to understand the end of the church age. There are a lot of churches that shy away, and frankly, there are a lot of men who simply refuse to study and/or teach about the end times. It is hard work; it takes reading and studying, and it requires a commitment to search the scriptures. A lot of men are not ready to step into the next phase where Jesus comes as a Righteous Judge and makes war and executes judgment. But we are called to warn the people, yes, even the “so-called” saved people, that judgment is coming. Jesus will judge the saved and the lost.

Look at 2 Corinthians 5:9-11:

“So, we aspire to please Him, whether we are here in this body or away from it. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive his due for the things done in the body, whether good or bad. Therefore, since we know what it means to fear the Lord, we try to persuade men. What we are is clear to God, and I hope it is clear to your conscience as well.”

  1. Watch the People Around Us

Are you prepared spiritually and scripturally to share the Gospel? In these last days, are you ready to tell someone how to be saved, how to be ‘born again’? Sadly, most of us are not. One of the most important things for the watchmen was to know which trumpet sound to blow; was it a trumpet for war or peace? Was it a trumpet to scatter or gather?

As we get closer and closer, there will be people wanting to know about the Lord Jesus. Some will want to make fun; others will want to repent. Can you help the ones who want to repent? What we know for sure, according to the passage in Ezekiel, is that we will be held accountable for how we warned and even if we warned. God expects us to warn the people around us of the heaven to gain and the hell to shun. Are you and I doing that?

Here is a question for you: could you lead someone to faith in Jesus? Do you know what verses you would use?

Philip, in Acts 8, took Isaiah 53 and taught the Ethiopian Eunuch about Jesus. Could you have done that? Sadly, a lot of us Christians really could not do that. Here are some of the verses that you should have committed to memory; these will help you be prepared: John 3:16-18; Romans 3:10, 23, Romans 5:8, Romans 6:23, Romans 10:9-10; Ephesians 2:8-9 and any others that you can think of. You should know the story of the ‘thief on the cross,’ his simple act of faith and belief – no baptism, no tithing, no church membership, nothing – just Jesus.

Take responsibility for those around you, pray for them that God would open their eyes, and be prepared to help them see once their eyes are opened. The Bible, the Word of God, is your only tool, Romans 10:17. Consequently, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ. You cannot and will not argue nor philosophize a person into Heaven. Share the Scriptures, and the Holy Spirit will take the TRUTH and change lives. If they refuse the free gift of eternal life in Jesus once they have heard, that is on them; you have done your job, dear watchman. Be prepared!

God bless you,

And The People Plot In Vain :: By The Gospelist

It seems that the FBI is still investigating a “shooting incident” at a Trump rally.

Apparently, this happened in Butler, Pennsylvania, and resulted in the murder of one person, severe injuries to two others, and a mild injury to former President Trump.

The assailant was a white male who was a registered Republican. His family once allegedly put numerous signs in their yard supporting the former President.

Sounds like another white supremacist to me.

The FBI was forced to testify that this wayward youth was in possession of a phone with three encrypted platforms based in Germany, New Zealand, and Belgium. His social media had been wiped clean. This kid also found himself in an advertisement for the evil Globalist firm Blackrock in 2022.

In other words, there is nothing to see here, so move along.

Also, the Heritage Foundation Oversight Project claimed “that an individual who “regularly” visited the home and the workplace of former President Donald Trump’s would-be assassin also visited a building in the “same vicinity” of a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) office in Washington, D.C.

In another post on social media, the Oversight Project said it identified multiple devices located at the home and workplace of the would-be assassin. “There were at least 9 devices linked to these AD-IDs,” the Oversight Project stated.”

My, this youth sure is mysterious.

Those who have watched the FBI operate over the last 60 years know where this is going. It will be found that this was a ‘lone wolf’ incident from a mentally disturbed young man confused by the violent political rhetoric of Donald Trump.

Hopefully, Trump has learned his lesson and is ready to reign in his imaginary hostile rhetoric. Of course, the Democrats are never held accountable for their actual hostile rhetoric while lying about Republicans’ faux hostile rhetoric.

In the meantime, we will be treated to misdirection and attempts to suppress the truth by the people who are supposed to be investigating this incident. The findings will be fairly mundane, such as extreme incompetence, and a media blackout of this event will occur as we approach the election.

They decided that all they had to do was fire the current Secret Service Director, and the whole matter would be put to bed.

The likely truth of what actually occurred, however, is far more terrifying.

The FBI has failed in just about every investigation with political consequences it has ever engaged in, and this one will be no different.

Since they do not intend to do their jobs and get to the bottom of what really happened, I will do it for them.

First, Congress will need to find out which left-wing extremist group this youth was involved with. My guess is it was Antifa. We need to know who recruited him and what his connections are to the evil Globalists.

There is no doubt someone at the FBI already knows the identity of this person.

While the FBI fruitlessly seeks to arrest patriots and Christians, those who are responsible for setting up this incident will be ignored. Christians and patriots are not a threat to the country; they are a threat to the evil Globalists.

That is why the good guys are always under investigation or locked in a D.C. gulag when a Democrat holds political power.

A legitimate investigative agency needs to start probing the real threats, which come from the left, rather than Christians and patriots who are no threat to the country.

Next, it would be really helpful if we had a functioning press corp. If we had a functioning press corp., we would already know who recruited him with the accompanying recommendation that the group he represented be placed on the domestic terrorist watch list.

Unfortunately, we no longer have a real press that deserves constitutional freedom. Instead, the ‘press’ has become nothing more than a mouthpiece for the Godless Democrat Party.

And ultimately, the evil Globalists.

We will have to rely on independent reporters and ‘conspiracy theorists’ to figure out what really happened.

Next, we will need to determine which member of this leftist group saw this kid as the perfect patsy to pull off an assassination attempt. These people are always on the lookout for a dupe to do their bidding.

People are viewed as nothing more than pawns to be disposed of by the leadership of left-wing fanatics.

Then we need to determine to whom the message that the perfect patsy had been found was funneled. We need to uncover who had sufficient wealth and power to create the conditions to pull off an assassination attempt by an inexperienced, bumbling fool.

And, no, it was not Iran.

There are a lot of wealthy people who stand to lose much of their ill-gotten wealth should America elect a legitimate President.

We conservatives used to support ‘the rich’ because we believed that they had earned their wealth through hard work and great ideas. We believed that the nation was improved by ordinary people doing extraordinary things (A little Rush Limbaugh lingo there for old times’ sake).

This may have been the case at one time, but that is now seldom the case.

The ultra-rich now make their wealth by manipulating politicians and engaging in wars that benefit only themselves. They are ‘insider traders’ who gain their wealth through corruption, use their wealth maliciously, and care nothing for the people whose lives they are destroying.

We need to know who convinced this youth that he would have the ability to waltz into a highly secure area with a gun, a range finder, and a backpack without being confronted. Also, we need to know how he was able to fly a drone over the area to scout it out and bring a large amount of explosives to the event with him.

Try that when a prominent Democrat is being protected.

Someone with a lot of money and power made the arrangements to ensure that this youth would be unmolested until he was able to get off several shots. There is no legitimate excuse, including incompetence, for any of this idiocy.

Then we need to know why the Secret Service failed to secure the building that would give this kid the best shot possible. They were apparently inside the building because it was too hot on the roof.

They must have wondered among themselves why some unknown person was stomping around on the roof on such a hot day prior to taking his shot. The heat did not seem to bother the shooter at all.

Way too many things went right for this twenty-year-old dolt to come that close to pulling off an assassination of a presidential candidate.

Since the press will not do its job, the average citizen is left to speculate as to what really happened. A good rule of thumb is – whenever you see incredible acts of stupidity, especially when it benefits the left – to assume that an evil Globalist paid for it.

This type of senselessness costs a lot of money to procure.

Finally, we need to know why the snipers who were defending Trump were comfortable allowing the youth to fire off several shots before putting him down. He was identified as being suspicious by numerous people at least one minute before he began shooting.

If amateurs could see what was happening well in advance of the incident, what were the professionals thinking?

We know that the evil Globalists have inculcated DEI (I won’t bother translating this ridiculous acronym) into our culture with devasting effects. Its purpose is to ensure only the most unqualified and incompetent people achieve positions of power in business and government.

Such people are the most malleable, corruptible, and disposable.

It is the malleability of such people that allows such a poorly executed attempt at an assassination to come so close to success.

It is clear that whoever instigated this assassination plot did not care how the public perceived it. They were very comfortable with the idea that if the assassin had been successful, they could put out any ridiculous narrative they wanted, and there would be nothing anyone could do about it.

The ‘suicide’ of Jeffrey Epstein is a perfect example of how that works.

The public needs to understand that those who control our government are extremely evil and corrupt. They are driven by malice and the desire for ill-gotten gain, and they do not care how many people must die for them to achieve it.

And they do not care if our governmental institutions are discredited or seen as untrustworthy. As a matter of fact, that is just icing on the cake since they want to diminish the U.S. anyway.

Historically, we need to understand that there is a pattern of taking down Presidents that govern against the will of the evil Globalists:

  • JFK was murdered by our government probably because he refused to go into Vietnam. President Eisenhower was prophetic when he warned us to beware of the Military Industrial Complex just a few years prior to this assassination.
  • The reputation of Richard Nixon was destroyed (Watergate) because he dared to end our fruitless war in Vietnam. There was also an apparent desire to install the oafish Gerald Ford, who was a member of the ‘deep state’ and an elitist, as Commander-in-Chief.
  • The guy who shot Ronald Reagan really had no interest in impressing Jodie Foster.

Another good rule of thumb when interpreting these events is to view one occurrence as an incident, twice as a coincidence, and three times as a pattern.

And now we have four.

The one thing these Presidents had in common is that they were a threat to the Globalist agenda. Their agenda has nothing to do with creating a great country; it is solely dedicated to their accumulation of wealth and power.

No one ever tried to ruin or kill our most worthless and corrupt Presidents. Johnson, Carter, Clinton, Obama, and Biden all skated because they had one thing in common. They were either deluded morons or tools of a higher power.

And Republicans tend to be law-abiding citizens, so very few would attempt to assassinate even the most wicked of Presidents.

Those who were at the heart of these tragedies were never held accountable for their evil. And those who perpetrated the attempted assassination of President Trump will not be held accountable either.

Thank you ‘mainstream press.’

The one thing the evil Globalists share in common is that they do not believe they will be subject to the wrath of God. They are pagans who are certain that they can thwart the will of the Creator of the Universe and install their own cronies into positions of power in violation of the laws of society.

They do not know it yet, but they are under divine judgment.

It should be apparent by now that these people will not be held accountable by any world authority. They will continue to perpetrate evil until God holds them accountable.

Unfortunately for them, their enjoyment of the ‘two-tiered justice system’ of the world only makes it more likely that they will not repent. They will probably have their best life now, but their eternity is devastatingly bleak.

All the plotting and planning of the evil Globalists will come to nothing. They may gain the entire world, but they will lose their eternal souls.

Even now they have begun to take their stand against the Lord and his anointed one (Jesus, not Trump). It is not just their perversions of God’s law that will lead them into judgment. Their pro-Palestinian/ Muslim minions are hard at work attempting to intimidate the American people into turning on the people of Israel.

At some point, they will achieve their goal. It will not be long before they and their underlings will stand against the Lord, with their god Satan, to face him down in the Valley of Megiddo.

They have broken the chains and fetters of God’s law and have begun to enforce their own will upon the world.

They had best heed the words of the Psalmist:

“Your hand will find out all your enemies;
your right hand will find out those who hate you.
You will make them as a blazing oven
when you appear.
The Lord will swallow them up in his wrath,
and fire will consume them.
You will destroy their descendants from the earth,
and their offspring from among the children of man.
Though they plan evil against you,
though they devise mischief, they will not succeed.
For you will put them to flight;
you will aim at their faces with your bows” (Psalm 21:8-12).

When these people and their false god are finally dealt with, the redeemed will cry out in joy:

“Be exalted, O Lord, in your strength!
We will sing and praise your power” (v.13).

Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
