(2 Kings 11:18) “…And the priest posted watchmen over the house of the LORD.”
Throughout
the ages men have posted watchmen in various places, at different times and for
countless reasons. God has posted watchmen over His Holy Word, those who guard
against erroneous teachings which contradict true salvation; we need their
voices to remain accurate in these last days prior to the Lord’s return. It is
these watchmen that have the best vantage point and they are often the first to
see the enemies advance prior to their attack. It would be ludicrous to ignore
their cries!
The
cleaning out of the house is what is now needed; the emptying of all which does
now edify, foreign gods, pride and the like must be recognized and eradicated
with the aid of God’s grace. We must search it out as it is freely available to
all who believe in their hearts that God has raised the Lord Jesus from the
dead and that He now lives interceding for us as we confess Him as Lord with
our mouths. The day will come when our Saviour returns to fetch His bride and
many will become weary saying, “why does the Lord delay his return”, it is
those people who will begin to eat and drink with the drunkards having no oil
in their lanterns who will lose hope. There is a narrow gate that must be
entered and we must stay true to our course to enter by it; be assured of this;
“Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a
great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that when you
have done the will of God you may receive what is promised. For, "Yet a little while, and
the coming one will come and will not delay; (Hebrews 10:35-37) – We also understand
that that day will come as a thief in the night, and nobody knows the hour of
His return save our heavenly Father. This is why faith in Him is of utmost
importance, regardless of what we see happening around us, we know in whom we
have believed. All His promises will come to pass there will not be one assurance
left unchecked. Praise His name now and forevermore, Amen and Amen!
We
need the voice of the watchmen to ring true in our ears as they watch out for
God’s people. It will not always be about pleasing melodies but at times there shall
be a sharp cry to take cover. Be warned, there is someone waiting in the wings in
the not too distant future that will appear as the saviour of the world, He
will appear to be dressed correctly but he shall be a ravenous wolf. Here then
is our Lord’s warning; “Then if anyone says to you,
'Look, here is the Christ!' or 'There he is!' do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform
great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.
See, I have told you
beforehand. So, if they say to you,
'Look, he is in the wilderness,' do not go out. If they say, 'Look, he is in
the inner rooms,' do not believe it. For as the
lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the
coming of the Son of Man.” (Matthew
24:23-27) – Now whether the Christian will still be here or not I cannot
say with any certainty, there are different estimations of thought on when the
rapture (when God will catch believers up into the air, to ever be with Him,
they will not taste death) will happen; some watchmen cry Pre-Millennium while
others Mid and finally some cry Post- Millennium, God knows! However what I
will say is that as that day approaches a conditioning of the minds of mankind
will materialise as it is already stylish, peace is high on the minds of world
leaders and they will continue to bring this message. Its banner will read “Peace
Peace” and this will take place on a global scale.
Be
sure to encourage those who sit in the towers looking out for your well-being;
feed them well with nurture of the fruits of this Spirit, for God has set these
watchmen up as it has pleased Him. We need to stand together encouraging one
another in our hope, even more as we see that day approaching. Our God will get
us home of that I am convinced; bless His name now and forever more, Amen! Praise
and honour belongs to our commander and chief, all hail King Jesus!
