Weary Remnant Watchmen :: By Jan Markell

The Sons of Issachar were men who understood the times (I Chronicles 12:32). Today, very few people have an interest. The following e-mail represents hundreds that I get:

Jan, I am viewed as crazy just by mentioning how excited I am for the Lord to return and about the times we are in. It makes me nervous to even mention world news and events, or end-time prophecies, with anyone who claims to be a Christian. The reactions I get are so very negative. I haven’t found even one person at my church, work, or extended family who would be willing to discuss any of these issues.”

We are in the most biblically relevant times in history with the least amount of interest in them. We are in a season of exploding “signs of the times” with the most amount of scoffing (all predicted).

Everything is now accelerated. Everything is on overdrive—except the interest in all of these things. And as a result, the watchmen are growing weary!

Here are some potential reasons for this:

  • Way too many people are in love with this world. They cling to it and derive tremendous pleasure from it. And b-u-s-y has become the new four-letter word.
  • Coupled with this are the preachers who are telling people they can have their best life now. And that is their all-consuming goal.
  • Reality has become terrifying. Some are saying our life will never return to normal, whatever that was as recently as six months ago. And those voices just might be right. Life may have turned a dark corner in 2020.
  • Satan is the distractor! He is in a hyper-active mode keeping people from paying attention to how late the hour is. If they aren’t watching the times, he can lull them into complacency and keep people from even sharing the gospel. His goal is to keep people majoring in the minors.
  • Detaching from reality is a coping mechanism. Some can’t keep hearing, listening, and watching natural disasters, pandemics, riots and looting, persecution, and suffering. These things crush their spirit.
  • Many churches and Christians today represent Laodicea. This church was lukewarm and indifferent. It very likely was totally focused on self and self-gratification. If you are consumed with looking within, you cannot pay attention to what is happening on the outside.
  • Many church pulpits remain silent. If the pastor is not talking about the times, the sheeple feel they need not pay attention to the times! Too many pastors want to avoid anything controversial or cutting-edge. They will not address some of the stunning events taking place daily, even if the events have biblical significance.
  • God has turned some people over to a mindset that does not allow them to understand the times. He may have given some people you care about over to a reprobate mind (Romans 1). Four of the most terrifying words in the Bible are “God gave them over.”
  • The obsession with social justice has replaced the good news that the King is coming. It has also replaced the Great Commission and the gospel of salvation. Many would rather save the planet than save souls or talk about the Lord’s return.
  • Many Christians know they are not right with God and they avoid reality. If the signs of the times that we watch remind them their time is running out, they choose to tune out.

This recent email says a lot: “Jan, I am looked at like I am an alien just because I track with what is happening and relate it to the Bible. A few of you online teachers help me celebrate my alien status. I feel like a lonely goldfish in a bowl So much of what the Bible predicted is coming true every day! Keep sounding the alarm.”

So, what must Noah have felt like? He preached for 120 years and was totally ignored! And he didn’t have Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. He didn’t have a microphone or a pulpit. Finally, the Ark door closed on a scoffing society.

It’s going to close again, but this time it will come by way of the Rapture of the Church. And millions will miss it because they didn’t listen to the watchmen. But some will, so don’t be silent.

Let’s seize this moment in history. Even the secular world is noticing that we are in unprecedented times.

And time is running out.

 

Satan’s World Government :: By Daymond Duck

I recently watched a Prophecy Watchers video of Gary Stearman interviewing Dr. Ken Johnson, author of The Ancient Dead Sea Scroll Calendar: And The Prophecies It Reveals.

During the interview, Johnson said one scroll that is believed to be written by the Essenes says, “It’s a serious sin to ignore Bible prophecy.”

There are at least 10 different verses in the Bible that tell everyone to watch for the return of Jesus.

To know to do something and not do it is a sin (Matt. 7:26; James 4:17).

I believe Satan’s world government is shaping up, and here are several reasons why I believe that:

One, persecution of believers is a major sign of the return of Jesus (Matt. 24:9).

Persecution is worse in Africa and Asia than it is in the U.S., but America has abandoned God, the world will soon be ruled by a Satan-worshipper (the Antichrist), he and his False Prophet will try to enforce the UN global ethic (satanic one-world religion), and many pulpits are silent on these issues.

In early July 2020, California Gov. Newsome temporarily banned singing and chanting in churches, and he limited indoor worship attendance to 25% of building capacity or a maximum of 100 attendees, whichever is the smallest amount.

On July 13, 2020, Newsome ordered an immediate lockdown of all churches, restaurants, bars, fitness centers, barber shops and hair salons in the 30 hardest hit counties until the State Public Health Officer decides to let them reopen.

All worship services in these 30 counties, including in-home Church meetings, singing, Bible studies, etc., have been suspended, the number of California counties may be increased, and there is no ending date for his order.

Several politicians (mostly Democrats, but some Republicans) have refused to stop rioting, looting, and the destruction of property and statues in their area, and Newsome is one of them.

It has also been reported that Newsome’s order to ban meetings in churches and homes does not ban protests, but specifically allows them.

Who would have thought that some leaders in the U.S. would declare Church and in-home Church Bible Studies and prayer meetings illegal while, at the same time, they are allowing meetings of rioters, looters, and arsonists in the streets?

Liberty Council is preparing to fight this on behalf of some pastors and churches, but they could use prayer and support; every person should know that this anti-Christ attack upon God and His Church will not stop with 30 counties in California, and every person should remember it when election time rolls around.

Two, Andy Stanley, son of Dr. Charles Stanley, pastor of North Point Ministries in Atlanta, and host to about 30,000 people every Sunday, has suspended in-person worship for the remainder of 2020.

Three, in its July/August 2020 issue, Chick Publications reported that Pope Francis said, “Let us welcome this time of trial (this Coronavirus pandemic) as an opportunity to prepare for our collective (one-world government and religion) future. Because without an all-embracing vision there will be no future for anyone.”

Pope Francis is clearly doing the work of Satan by pushing for a world government and religion that will be led by Satan worshippers.

Four, concerning lawlessness, on July 13, 2020, it was reported that George Soros will immediately funnel another $70 million through his foundations to the militant groups and activist groups that are demonstrating to transform the U.S., and he will funnel an additional $150 million to them over the next 5 years.

There is no need to ask when will the rioting stop or what will it take to appease the rioters.

Soros sees this transformation of the U.S. as something that will last for years, not something that will end anytime soon.

According to the Bible, it will come to a sudden end at the Second Coming of Jesus.

Five, on July 17, 2020, it was reported that protestor violence had been going on in Portland, Ore., for about 50 days and that Pres. Trump sent in federal agents to protect federal buildings and to detain people that damaged or defaced federal buildings, etc.

Federal agents were using unmarked vehicles to find, detain and question people that were suspected of committing a crime.

The mayor, a Democrat, addressed Pres. Trump this way, “Keep your troops (they are federal agents, not troops) in your own buildings, or have them leave our city.”

The Gov., also a Democrat, accused Trump of trying to win political points, and the Atty. Gen., another Democrat, threatened legal action.

The demonstrators have been on a lawless rampage for weeks; and the politicians in charge, all Democrats, do not want it stopped.

Six, concerning world government, on July 13, 2020, Sen. Chuck Grassley expressed concern that the Deep State in the U.S. has become so powerful that some people can commit political crimes and get away with it.

He was referring to the fact that powerful politicians (Obama, Biden, Comey, Strzok, etc.) have come very close to toppling the President of the U.S., and nothing may be done about it.

Seven, it was recently (mid-July 2020) reported that Bill Gates will soon start testing the first version of his program to identify (face scan, hand-scan, etc.), number, vaccinate and create a digital vaccination record on everyone on earth.

Gates plans to start in remote, low-income areas in West Africa and move on to Europe, Asia and then the U.S.

Gates’ biggest concern is not creating a vaccine, not the technology, or anything like that.

His biggest concern is people refusing to be vaccinated and using the government to deny them the right to hold a job, leave their house, buy, sell, etc.

Some stores (Walmart for example), restaurants, etc., are now denying people the right to enter if they are not wearing a mask.

Some doctor’s offices and hospitals will not let people enter without a temperature check.

Some cities are passing laws to prevent people from moving around if they are not wearing a mask.

This is the beginning of not letting people buy and sell if they have not taken the Mark of the Beast.

Eight, concerning famine: on July 15, 2020, it was reported that the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) said war, the economic impact of the Coronavirus (lost jobs, workers can’t get in the fields, factories shut down, etc.), and natural disasters are causing a decline in food supplies and a rise in hunger and starvation.

Severe undernourishment has increased everywhere except in Europe and North America (Matt. 24:7; Rev. 6:7-8).

Nine, on July 14, 2020, it was reported that there is a shortage of aluminum cans in the U.S. because more people are prepping, and more people are eating at home due to the Coronavirus.

Soups, sodas, and a few other products may be scarce for a while due to this lack of cans.

Ten, concerning wars and rumors of wars: on July 16, 2020, U.S. Atty. Gen. Barr accused China of trying to bring down the U.S. and establish herself as the world’s preeminent superpower.

According to the Bible, the Kings of the East (China and her allies) will invade the Middle East during the Tribulation Period (Rev. 9:16, 16:12).

Eleven, two weeks ago, I mentioned that the World Economic Forum (WEF) announced (on June 19, 2020) that it will hold its annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, in Jan. 2021, and the theme of the meeting will be the “Great Reset.”

This week, I read that Founder and Executive Chairman Klaus Schwab said, “Every country from China to the United States must participate, and every industry, from oil and gas to tech, must be transformed. In short, we need a ‘Great Reset’ of capitalism.”

We are less than 6 months away from a demand by powerful globalists that the life of everyone on earth be changed forever.

Every nation, including China and the U.S., must (not should, must) submit to the New World Order (Satan’s world government).

I close by saying those that are truly trusting in Jesus for the forgiveness of their sins do not have anything to worry about, but time is running out, and those that are not trusting Him could be in trouble.

Bow your head; admit that you are a sinner; believe what the Bible says about the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus; ask for forgiveness; tell others that you have done this.
