Greetings Everyone! Please bear with me – I took typing for a semester in junior high school – but didn’t do very well. So, here I am, typing away with one finger at a time.
Now, in the last Personal, I had spoken of The WatchMan Report – that small modern voice of Ezekiel’s who is carrying out an IMPORTANT Message. And, due to some “family dynamics” at the moment I’m having to take a short “sabbatical” from that. However, I just recently typed up an article entitled “Freedom – A True Blessing From God” in which I mention four great blessings which the LORD our God has blessed upon the two brothers Ephraim and Manasseh – the United Kingdom and her Commonwealth Nations and the United States of America respectively.
I had gone over a little about how we came to understand and the fact that everything about this great worldwide work of God – of true education – is as different as the very manner in which we each, individually, were called by God, and led into this true understanding. And, speaking with a brother just yesterday, I nearly burst into tears at the very thought of the great blessing from God in the very knowledge of knowing that the blinders before our eyes have been lifted concerning Death and the Resurrection unto life!
As I had written of that said article, no other brother nations – before or since – have had more blessings from God! Yet, now those blessings are being withheld – and the United Kingdom and her Commonwealth Nations, as well as the United States of America, are being condemned! And surely, this too is blinded to the masses. Our nations are standing condemned to complete destruction!
Friends, I pray that I don’t rain on your parade – Minister Guy LaMar had typed up an article entitled “A Message of Only Doom!?” – in which he rightly stated, “We strongly believe in preaching the TRUTH and the FACTS of the ‘gloom and doom’ which is coming.” Now, I wish not to only speak of this utter destruction which is coming – if we as a nation – do not repent, yet, this is a very serious matter! Our beloved nations – yours and mine – are facing COMPLETE DESTRUCTION!
Now, about this time last year, I had typed up an article “Blow The Trumpet!” – of a prophetic dream that involves the soon-coming destruction of the nation of Judah – today known as Israel. And it saddens me to know that surely the average reader possibly just passed that article and that it was totally unheeded. Woe to you who did. No others but us and our affiliated churches are sounding this ALARM!
And, it will come!
Now, as we are very much aware RUSSIA (and I remind you, Russia, not the USSR – which has not existed in three decades) is amassing troops near the Ukrainian border. And like what Ted Galen Carpenter wrote in The National Interest, and I tend to agree, “It would be difficult for Russia to execute anything more than a very geographically limited expansionist agenda, even if it has one.” Personally, I believe that the United States of America needs to be a bit more isolationist. As Tucker Carlson stated in regards to Russia – imagine how the US would feel if Mexico and Canada became satellites of China!? We wouldn’t like that at all! Carlson went on to say that a NATO takeover of Ukraine would compromise Russia’s access to its Sevastopol Naval Base – which since the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation in 2014, the naval base is again under Russian control. Richard Sakwa - Professor of Russian and European politics at the University of Kent – has said that if Russia was to lose the naval base it would be “the biggest military geopolitical defeat of Russia in the last thousand years.” This all, as I see it and understand it, has to do with NATOs lust to continue its expansionism eastward – including to Ukraine. I have always believed that the United States joining NATO in 1949, was a bad thing. President Donald Trump has repeatedly argued that the U.S. provides too much cash for NATO. And after some tough talk by Trump, NATO states paid up, increased spending by $100 billion! Surely, this alone got the oligarchs' underwear in a wad!
Let us think on this: From George Friedman of Geopolitical Futures –
“For 25 years, the fundamental questions regarding NATO was … from the American point of view, … First, with the Soviet Union gone, what is NATO’s purpose? Second, how does NATO serve the American national interest? Third, given the fact that the EU has almost as large a GDP and almost 200 million more people than the U.S., why isn’t Europe’s collective contribution to NATO’s military capability larger than the U.S.’? … I don’t simply mean money, but a suitably large, trained and equipped force able to support the wars that are being fought now.The automatic answer to the first question is that NATO’s purpose is to guarantee its members’ security. On the second question, it can’t be argued that NATO has served American interests since 1991. For the last 15 years, the U.S. has been engaged in wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and other Muslim countries. Whether wise or not, these wars have been waged to different degrees under both Republican and Democratic administrations. NATO is a military alliance and one of its members, the United States, has been involved in wars for 15 years. NATO as an institution has not devoted anywhere near the military force it could afford to any of these wars. …Someone was going to point out that NATO is obsolete. Trump happened to enjoy saying it.” 1
Today – in this 21st century – nations are interrelated as never before. And even though I believe that America should regain again its isolationism - isolationism in the United States has never been about a total avoidance of the rest of the world. But rather, like what Thomas Jefferson stated, of not being “entangled in alliances” – it is true that what happens in one nation affects all nations sooner or later. As I’ve mentioned before – the four years of the Trump Administration was the calm before the storm – now, events are being seen on the horizon which is moving fast and are increasing their momentum! This nation, as well as the world, is now heading rapidly into the most terrifying destruction the mind of man can conceive!
It is a serious matter of life and death – and of eternity – for us all!
The oligarchs of this world – influenced by Satan the devil, the likes of the Rothschilds, Morgan, Rockefeller, and Du Pont families, and many others – KNOW many of the causes which are drawing this world ever-closer to a type of reboot. Yet, they will NEVER tell you the truth concerning the ever-increasing inflation, the dollar devaluation – and many of the other CAUSES of evil which they are perpetuating!
Why is it that all these Sunday morning comedy shows – the innumerable televangelists and religious leaders DO NOT shout this WARNING to you!? Well, they are – and I say this with the authority of Jesus Christ – false prophets, ministers, and leaders. Truly, “And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness [self-righteousness], whose end will be according to their works” – 2 Corinthians 11:14-15. THEY ARE BLINDED! They do not understand God’s prophecies! They do not preach what God’s living word says. The greater majority of them take a sentence or a paragraph out of the Holy Bible and completely take it out of context – and skip over roughly 98 percent of the rest of God’s living word!
Let me tell you why I am sounding this warning! It’s not my own will which does so – but the will of Jesus Christ.
Friends, one of the major prophets of God, was the prophet Ezekiel. And under the Old Covenant priesthood, he had been a priest. Now, he was among the captives by Babylon along with other Jews – Ezekiel chapter 1 –
Verse 2 – “On the fifth day of the month, which was in the fifth year of King Jehoiachin’s captivity, 3) the word of the LORD came expressly to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the River Chebar; [another name for the Euphrates River in Chaldea – Southeast Iraq] and the hand of the LORD was upon him there.”
And in a vision – of which last month I posted the fourth part “Revelation – A Book of the Past and the Future” which also covers this vision – the prophet Ezekiel, too, saw these enormous and massive cherubim’s. He recorded what he saw.
While this is different than what the apostle John saw centuries later, the prophet Ezekiel, in vision, was seeing the very throne of God. And he would go on to write a MOST IMPORTANT PROPHETIC WARNING FOR US IN THIS END-TIME!
Chapter 2 –
Verse 1 – “And He [the LORD, the very One who would become Jesus Christ] said to me, ‘Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak to you.’ 2) Then the Spirit entered me when He spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard Him who spoke to me.”
Verse 3 – “And He said to me: ‘Son of man, I AM sending you to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me to this very day. 4) For they are impudent and stubborn children. I AM sending you to them, …’”
Now, “the children of Israel” basically are our peoples of the modern Western world – The “children of Israel” did here, and does today, include all twelve tribes – with the inclusion of Joseph, Ephraim and Manasseh – making THIRTEEN.
And as we see in Chapter 3, the prophet Ezekiel was sent specifically “to the HOUSE OF ISRAEL” – a term which refers ONLY to the people who were of the northern kingdom of Israel. They were never referred to as Jews.
We read in 2nd Kings 16:6, the first instance where the name Jews is used – “At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria, and drave the Jews from Elath …” – KJV. The southern kingdom had retained Jerusalem as its capital and had seceded from Israel. They were led by the tribe of JUDAH – hence they are called Jews. Now, the term “children of Israel” refers to all twelve tribes – the House of Israel and the House of Judah.
This specific commission is mentioned -
Verse 1 – “Moreover He said to me, ‘Son of man, eat what you find; eat this scroll, and go, speak to the HOUSE OF ISRAEL.’”
The Prophet Ezekiel WAS BEING HELD CAPTIVE
Understand – the prophet Ezekiel was a prisoner. His country, Judah, had been invaded, and he was among the prisoners of war in a prison camp next to the River Chebar in the nation of Babylon when he was writing this.
But the HOUSE OF ISRAEL – the very nation to which he was being sent to – had been taken captive more than a hundred and forty years before in roughly 734-732 BC! The HOUSE OF ISRAEL had been taken captive to Assyria on the southern shore of the Caspian Sea. Yet, here’s a twist – even before the prophet Ezekiel was taken prisoner, the Assyrians themselves had been taken into captivity – together with the Israelites. Where the Israelites would eventually migrate and be “sifted” into other lands. This is covered in Minister Michael C. Garrett’s enlightening seven-part series of articles entitled “God’s Promises To Abraham.”
The prophet Ezekiel spent the rest of his life in Babylonia as a prisoner. Now, upon the writing of this Personal, I went online and researched the prophet Ezekiel. Most Jews simply believe that Ezekiel’s prophecies are unique in that they were experienced in Babylonia. 2 Well, it’s like going to Jewish sources – like the Talmud – to learn about Jesus Christ! They rely too heavily on their Jewish writings! Instead of turning to The Authority – God the Father and the living Jesus Christ! And the majority of them go on and announce – O’ many Jews returned during the past two centuries and re-established independence for a modern state of Israel in 1948 – thus fulfilling these prophecies! Yet, NOTHING could be further from the living truth of God!
The lamentations and woes of the message to be carried to the “HOUSE OF ISRAEL” never occurred in the prophet Ezekiel’s lifetime or anytime later! Ezekiel - and not, as they say, “The Men of the Great Assembly” – merely received and wrote this warning message. It truly was a prophecy for this END-TIME!
The LORD God said to Ezekiel – and his 21st-century counterpart who was ultimately to proclaim this message – “’ Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the HOUSE OF ISRAEL’” – Ezekiel 3:17. In other words, one who is watching world events in light of biblical prophecy.
The LORD God also puts it another way – Chapter 33 –
Verse 2 – “’ Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and say to them: ‘When I bring the sword [which means WAR] 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) … But he who takes warning will save his life.”
Verse 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.’”
Verse 7 – “’ So you, son of man: I have made you a watchman for the HOUSE OF ISRAEL; …’” – the United Kingdom and her Commonwealth Nations and the United States of America respectively.
So, there is certainly a duality here. The LORD God sets modern “watchmen.” Under the New Covenant, through our High Priest, by His minister Guy LaMar, in this territory, has made me a watchman. And I do not take this important commission lightly! That is – like I say at the opening of every The WatchMan Report, the reporting of news “from around the world in relation to biblical prophecy.” To WARN – without the slathering of politics – our peoples of the 21st century House of Israel.
Just what is the crux of the prophet Ezekiel’s warning!? Turn with me if you will to the 5th chapter of the Book of Ezekiel –
Verse 7 – “Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: ‘Because you have multiplied disobedience more than the nations that are all around you, have not walked in My statutes nor kept My judgments, nor even done according to the judgments of the nations that are all around you’ – 8) therefore thus says the Lord GOD: ‘Indeed I, even I, AM against you and will execute judgments in your midst in the sight of the nations. 9) And I will do among you what I have NEVER DONE, and the like of which I WILL NEVER DO AGAIN, because of your abominations!’”
Now, logic itself dictates there can be only one time of trouble more severe than any before or since. And, the prophet Ezekiel wrote the nature and the extent of this soon-coming trouble –
Verse 11 – “’ Therefore, as I live,’ says the Lord GOD, ‘surely, because you have defiled My sanctuary with all your detestable things and with all your abominations, therefore I will also diminish you; My eye will not spare, nor will I have pity. 12) ONE-THIRD OF YOU SHALL DIE OF THE PESTILENCE, and be CONSUMED WITH FAMINE in your midst; and ONE-THIRD SHALL FALL BY THE SWORD [by WAR; and to a great extent, a nuclear war!] all around you; and I will SCATTER ANOTHER THIRD to all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.’”
Verse 13 – “’ Thus shall My anger be spent, and I will cause My fury to rest upon them, and I will be avenged; and they shall know that I, the LORD, have spoken it in My zeal, when I have spent My fury upon them.’”
God is going to allow this grave trouble to come upon our peoples, more than any others, because they have KNOWN HIS WILL – but have ignored it and have rebelled against Him!
O’ my dear friends, the LORD our God has blessed the United Kingdom and her Commonwealth Nations along with the United States of America as no other nations before or since! Not only –especially at the beginning of the American Industrial Revolution – has the LORD our God blessed us with material wealth and military power unmatched, but He has blessed our nations with His living TRUTH which our nations have rejected. Sadly, just today I saw that the United Nations has placed an idol out front of their New York Visitor’s Plaza Headquarters which resembles the ‘beast’ of the Book of Revelation chapter 13 –
Verse 2 – “Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority.”
As I’ve said, today, in the 21st century, we have this Critical race theory, Cancel culture, this Woke movement, along with the openness, pride, and acceptance of homosexuality spreading throughout our nations like a wildfire! And our children are soaking it up like a sponge. Thousands upon thousands of our nations church buildings have a pagan phallic symbol – the ancient Canaanite tribes had rituals, including the baking of long loaves of bread for blessing, which was, in turn, placed under poles representing the fertility and power of their gods. Eventually, the tall poles became focal points for community worship and were included in the earliest churches as a false Christianity swept through the known world at that time.
Our sins are monumental!
Continuing in the Book of Ezekiel chapter 6 –
Verse 6 – “’ In all your dwelling places [truly, the different lands in which they would eventually migrate to and be “sifted” into] THE CITIES SHALL BE LAID WASTE … 7) The slain shall fall in your midst, and you shall know that I AM the LORD.’”
Verse 8 – “’ Yet I will leave a remnant, so that you may have some who escape the sword among the nations, when you are scattered through the countries.’”
Now, the phrase ‘YOU SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD’ is used by the prophet Ezekiel, designating the Lord our Savior’s second coming in glory and in power!
So, prophet Ezekiel certainly pin-points this end-time prophecy to “the HOUSE OF ISRAEL” – which is this 21st century the United Kingdom and her Commonwealth of Nations and the United States of America – notice –
Verse 10 – “’ And they shall know that I AM the LORD; I have not said in vain that I would bring this calamity upon them.’”
In other words, He doesn’t talk just to hear Himself talk!
Verse 11 – “’ Thus says the Lord GOD: ‘Pound your fists and stamp your feet, and say, ‘Alas, for all THE EVIL ABOMINATIONS of the HOUSE OF ISRAEL! For they shall fall by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence. 12) … Thus will I spend My fury upon them. 13) Then you shall know that I AM the LORD, when their slain are among their idols all around their altars, …’”
A TIME OF ‘GREAT TRIBULATION’!
Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ said that in this end-time – ‘this generation’ that there would be certain signs of when this present age is nearing its end – the Book of Matthew chapter 24 –
Verse 4 – “And Jesus answered and said to them: ‘Take heed that no one deceives you. 5) For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ [saying that Jesus was the Christos, the Messiah] and will deceive many.’”
And we can certainly look around our nations and – without naming names – we understand that this prophecy has undoubtedly come true. An awful lot of people have been deceived about who Jesus Christ really was, what He stood for, and what was His teachings and His doctrines. And that’s a tragedy.
Verse 6 – “’ And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. …’”
In the Book of Luke he uses the word “commotions,” “’ But when you hear of wars and commotions, do not be terrified; for these things must come to pass first, but the end [meaning, the end of this age] will not come immediately’” – verse 9.
And we are certainly hearing of wars and rumors of wars – i.e. a possible war between Russia and Ukraine; a war between Iran and Israel which is inevitable.
And then our Lord Jesus continues on in Verse 7 – “’ For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. …’”
And, certainly, we tend to believe that this is a reference to the Book of Daniel – ‘the kingdom of the North,’ and ‘the kingdom of the South.’ The European combine and the Islamic confederation – whatever they will call themselves in the future. I think this is an indication of the growing tension between these two groups of people.
Let us now turn to the Book of Revealing – the Book of Revelation which also prophesies of this very thing – chapter 6 –
Verse 3 – “When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, ‘Come and see.’ 4) Another HORSE, FIERY RED, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.”
A direct reference to a final holy war between the end-time ‘king of the North’ and the ‘king of the South’ – cf. Daniel 11:40; Revelation 9:13-16.
Continuing, our Lord Jesus Christ says, “ … ‘And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.’”
Religious motivated militancy and aggression often led to war. And wars often lead to famine. And famine often leads to pestilences.
Revelation chapter 6 –
Verse 5 – “When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, ‘Come and see.’ So I looked, and behold, a BLACK HORSE, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. 6) And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, ‘A quart of wheat for a denarius [which was approximately one day’s wage for a worker!], and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.’”
Verse 7 – “When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, ‘Come and see.’ 8) So I looked, and behold, a PALE HORSE. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades [the grave] followed him. And power was given to them over A FOURTH OF THE EARTH, to kill with sword [meaning war], with hunger [meaning famine], with death, and by the beasts of the earth.”
You take 7.8 billion people – we’re talking about 1 ¾ billion people are going to die as a result of these events here! And I know this is horrible news! Again, when the prophet Ezekiel saw what was written on that scroll, it was “lamentations and mourning and woe.” – cf. Ezekiel 2:9-10.
Our Lord Jesus Christ ended this with –
Verse 8 – “’ All these are the beginning of sorrows.’”
The End-Time Prophets Appear On The Scene
Notice again chapter 6 of the Book of Revelation –
Verse 9 – “When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. 10) And they cried with a loud voice, saying, ‘How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?’”
Verse 11 – “Then a white robe [will be] given to each of them; …” – meaning signs of immortality and eternal life. “ … and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, …” – to wait, be quiet, be easy for a little season. “ … until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.” – speaking of the end-time prophets.
And as our Lord Jesus Christ spoke privately with His disciples He continued with this end-time prophecy – Matthew chapter 24 –
Verse 9 – “’ Then they will deliver you [pertaining to the end-time prophets] up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. 10) And then many will be offended, will betray one another. 11) Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 12) And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 13) But he who endures to the end shall be saved.’”
They – possibly twelve end-time prophets – will be given power from God Almighty and Jesus Christ to begin prophesying – testifying - to kings, to world rulers, to the captured elect of God, to a great religious leader and political leader – standing before the god of the earth (Satan the devil) – WARNING and proclaiming the kingdom of God soon to come – for 3 ½ years!
Verse 14 – “‘ And this gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, AND THEN THE END WILL COME.’”
A REMNANT ESCAPES
Recall that I had quoted the prophet Ezekiel, who quoted the LORD God saying, “’ Yet I will leave a remnant, so that you may have some who escape the sword among the nations, when you are scattered through the countries.’” Well, I want you to understand this often misunderstood revelation.
Our Lord Jesus Christ said of this ‘great tribulation’ that – Matthew chapter 24 –
Verse 22 – “’ And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved [and the Moffett translation adds, ‘alive’]; but FOR THE ELECT’S SAKE those days will be shortened.’”
And we can compare this with the Book of Revelation chapter 12 –
Verse 13 – Now when the dragon [Satan the devil] saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted THE WOMAN who gave birth to the male Child.”
This being JUDAH, the nation today called Israel.
Verse 14 – “But THE WOMAN was given two wings of a great eagle [cf. Exodus 19:4], that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time [3 ½ years], from the presence of the serpent.”
Keep in mind, the resurrection occurs on the SEVENTH TRUMP. The seven last plagues follow that. So, we will already be in “low earth orbit” in the clouds being with Jesus Christ, in preparation for the time He, Jesus Christ, directly engages humankind.
In Verse 17 – “And the dragon was enraged with THE WOMAN, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony [the gospel] of Jesus Christ.”
Now, there will be physical people of the HOUSE OF ISRAEL who will come to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior, and will “keep the commandments of God and have the testimony [the gospel] of Jesus Christ” during this period of intense persecution by Satan the devil and his followers – hence the final ‘beast’ power, and the final false prophet.
Now, I understand that so many remnant churches of God do not see this passage in this way. But again – let us keep in mind, the resurrection occurs on the SEVENTH TRUMP – cf. Revelation 11:15! This indicates here the physical people of the HOUSE OF ISRAEL, not the Church of God! □
