An Urgent Warning to the Last Days’ Church

Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. II Timothy 4:2-4

A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land; The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof? Jeremiah 5:30,31

            What if every bit of Christian faith that you have been living is a lie? What if the churches are not really Christian at all? The Bible is our handbook, our authority. It warns us of rampant deception in the last days, our adversary the devil, and our deceitful hearts (Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 7:18). This message is to warn you, that you may turn to Jesus Christ in truth, and be saved. Read this as if eternity depended on it.

            It has been nearly 30 years now, since the Lord mercifully spared me from death, and certain damnation. I was 23 years of age. As a teen, I was once on fire for Christ, but fell headlong into the allures of the world, backsliding. I was a Religion major in a church-based college when my return to sinfulness exploded.

            Since that point of grace in my life, it has been a long journey. God has finally, ultimately redeemed me, and none too soon! Time is almost up for the world as we know it, and our chance for making the right choice. How can the churches be filled, but souls are empty? Can so many well-meaning, clean-living people be in error?

            Frankly, the Bible says that such a deceived state will exist at the time of the end. My wife and I were very much a part of this great error, false Christian faith. It is only by the miracle of God (Matthew 19:25,26), and of His mercy alone (Romans 9:16), that we were enabled to see this deception and be freed. You also need this miracle in your life!

            The Lord has granted a far greater understanding into this subject for me during the past year. Wisdom and insight has been given, and truths affirmed. It is time to share this message, while there is still time to repent. We will let God’s preserved Word, the King James Bible, present the real nature of Christianity.

And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 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: 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. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Revelation 3:14-20

            This is our “church,” the time we live in. We are not separate from the world around us, but we are just like the world, without distinction. We are not a church in Laodicea, but are a church of Laodiceans. Nothing good is said of this group! This church sickens Jesus to the point of vomiting. This church thinks that they are saved, but are not, thus the reference to “blind and naked” (see John 9:41). They are rich, and filled with “good works” of their own: they neither follow God, or depend on Him for provision. They walk by sight, and are without faith.

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Matthew 7:21-23

            These spoken of here did not come before God, hoping to deceive Him; they were deceived into believing that all was well! Please note that MANY will be in this state, and that these were “exceptional” individuals, who did many great works. The way to avoid all this? We anchor down into the rock of God’s Word, as is revealed in the next two verses (see Matthew 7:24,25). Man needs to live by every word of God. (Deuteronomy 8:3; Matthew 4:4; Luke 4:4)

            To be saved, we must accept the truth of God’s Word. It shows us who we are before God, and how we must receive Him. God does not accept sinners (Psalm 5:5). What God will accept is the repentance of the sinner (I John 1:9). The following is man’s spiritual state before the Lord;

But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. Isaiah 64:6

As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood: Destruction and misery are in their ways: And the way of peace have they not known: There is no fear of God before their eyes. Romans 3:10-18

            This is where the church has strayed, and actually reverses the truth, preaching God’s love, acceptance, and friendship to the unsaved. Jesus says that His friends are those that obey Him, and these are the ones He died for (John 15:13,14).

            God’s love or friendship with us is not like that between humans. God exemplifies His love to us through the cross of Jesus, He bearing the just punishment for our sin.

In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. I John 4:9,10

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. I Corinthians 1:18

            The preaching of the cross is about our sinfulness, and the absolute need for the blood redemption through Jesus Christ. Any kind of real emphasis on such preaching has now become foolish, in “Christian” circles as much as anywhere.

For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:6-8

            So there we were; ungodly, unrighteous sinners, and God sent His Son to die for us.

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. Isaiah 53:5,6

            God acted to save us, and only He could. The Lord also often makes good out of bad (Romans 8:28), but His outreach to us doesn’t justify our position at the time of His outreach.

            In short, It is this; the church, in its outreach to the world, promotes the idea to the unsaved that they are good. We wind up showing the unsaved that even though they are technically sinners, that there is still good in them, and that they do some good things. Therefore, grace is turned into a works salvation, because we think that we have done good before becoming saved. God loves us because we meant well, and have good within: only superficial changes, then, need to be made.

            The great majority today come to Christ with such understanding and therefore are never really saved. But what of the few that do become saved with the initial right understanding? They are ultimately led back into sin by the religious Laodiceans;

But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them…And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you…II Peter 2:1,3a,18-20

For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. II Peter 2:18-20

            Why is the latter end worse? Because now they do justify their behavior as being right with God! This is the lukewarm state that Jesus hates. Such evils have been before, and this one is again established in our day.

Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment? Malachi 2:17

            Jesus said that we must become as little children to be received in His kingdom (Matthew 18:3, Mark 10:15). What does this mean? It means that we are starting over! Children must learn everything from their parents, and we must be taught from God in like fashion. We cannot come to God, thinking we have “good” talents or abilities to offer Him—we are hopelessly corrupt in our sinful flesh. Consider also the following;

Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. Matthew 16:24,25

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. II Corinthians 5:17

But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Philippians 3:7

            Jesus expounds further on the radical change which will take place in the real Christian life;

And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. Luke 20:17,18

            We know that Jesus is that chief cornerstone: when we “fall” upon Him for salvation, we will be broken. Those rejecting Him are ground into powder.

            The Lord Jesus wants to put the “new wine” of His Spirit within us, but cannot do so as long as we insist on our “old bottles.” We like the old wine (the way we’ve always been) better! Indeed, many try to mend the rip in their spiritual garment, by sewing new cloth to the old. Jesus said that this tear then becomes worse. Why? Because we have been deceived into thinking that things are right between us and God, when they aren’t: this is far worse than if we had never been saved (II Peter 2:20). See Luke 5:36-39 for this parable.

            What the visible church has done, is it has found its place in the world, making “friends” with the ungodly (II Chronicles 19:2). The real church has no place in the world (Hebrews 11:13-16), and is spiritual, not material (John 4:23,24). Friendship with the world is abominable to God. Even Biblical instruction to love our enemies, or our neighbors as ourselves, in no way indicates the making of “friendship” with the unsaved. Making friendships with the world is, in a nutshell, the main underlying source of corruption in the professing church. Once, even twenty years ago, I heard a pastor instruct Christians not to witness, until they had “made friends” with the people, first. Where do you find that in the Bible? When we emphasize friendship, or the promoting of church, we preach ourselves, not Jesus Christ (II Corinthians 4:5). Making friends with the world hurts the real believer by (1) Constant exposure will corrupt us morally, and (2) It gives the impression of an acceptance of the rebellious, unsaved lifestyle.

Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. James 4:4

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. I John 2:15,16

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. Ephesians 5:11

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? II Corinthians 6:14-18

            It is needful to include examples, for understanding. The Lord has reminded me of a great example of the confused, polluted, Laodicean era church of our day. It is a nearby “Christian” cinema, called Sight and Sound Theatres. These are serious, quality productions put on there, allegedly to entertain and edify. As far as I know, all shows expound on Bible scenarios. Most professing believers think it is a great thing, but these have not the Holy Spirit (Acts 5:32).

(1) No additions to God’s Word. Any movie or play done to tell a Bible story adds to God’s Word (Deuteronomy 4:2; Proverbs 30:5,6; Revelation 22:18,19). Actors and directors, as well as script writers, add their own audio/visual interpretation of the Holy Word of God. The Holy Spirit is to be our interpreter!

(2) No Biblical ground for Christian entertainment. Believers carry these evil practices with them, supposedly, into their new lives for Christ. Instead of opposing such worldliness, churches routinely only incorporate these evils into their “outreach.” The “church” is emulating the world!

            Entertainment is a great squandering of time and money, and shows that we are not God’s stewards (Ephesians 5:15-17; Luke 16:11). If Jesus is really our Lord, it will show in everything.

(3) No substitution for Bible outreach. Typical reasoning to justify “good” movies/plays, is that it is a way to reach “our” generation. In other words, we regard the Bible as insufficient in promoting salvation: we have contrived another way of outreach, one that conflicts with scripture, but believe it to be better. The Lord’s testimony in Luke 16:31 well addresses this phenomenon:

And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. Luke 16:31

(4) No “new life” for the convert. If one seemingly comes to know Christ through this, they will forever cling to these worldly, unbiblical practices in his/her Christian life. Remember, just because God reaches to us while we are sinners, this does not imply justification for the medium through which He reached us. It is, rather, a testimony of God’s faithfulness, and His greatness, in still being able to bring good from bad (Romans 8:28).

(5) The love of money and lies. In the end, this is about the love of money (I Timothy 6:10,11), and has exploited a worldly avenue that addresses no real need of mankind (I Timothy 6:8). It is a medium that is well accepted by the unsaved world, and gains them esteem in men’s eyes (Luke 16:15). They also get rich: believe me, it costs plenty to get in.

            Then again, they also espouse lies while making their way in the world. This is a huge problem, for every actor has to lie in the performance of taking on another’s persona. God will not allow liars in heaven, and because of such will come strong delusion and judgment (II Thessalonians 2:10-12).

            Years ago, I worked at a local department store with the 23 year old son of a minister. Once in conversation, I exposed the shortfalls of Sight and Sound Theatres to him. He responded by defending them, and said he was “so touched” by the Easter depiction of Jesus. Yet just 2 days later, I heard him excitedly talking with another co-worker about the near release of Hell Raiser III on DVD: he was very glad for it, and wanted to purchase it. Don’t be fooled by appearance! Judge righteous judgment (John 7:24), and seek not to receive honor from men (John 5:41), following the steps of Jesus Christ.

            This, then, is Christianity: mankind is spiritually evil, and rightly slated for eternal damnation first in Hell, then the lake of fire (Galatians 3:22; Revelation 20:15). God then shows His real love for us by the perfect offering of His Son Jesus Christ, the only possible atonement for our sin (John 14:6). Salvation is all about eternal life for the soul and spirit of man, not the very temporary life of the flesh (II Corinthians 4:18). What does the Bible say about the Christian life? Will you embrace it?

The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord. It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household? Matthew 10:24,25

Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household. Matthew 10:34-36

If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. Luke 14:26…33

He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. John 12:25

If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. John 15:19

Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. Romans 6:4

For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. Romans 8:6-8

If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. Colossians 3:1-3

Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries: Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you: I Peter 4:1-4

            Have you really been saved through Jesus Christ? Are God’s values your own, and do you seek them? Bring every area of your life into submission to God. Hold up your actions in the light of Biblical truth (John 3:21). Do all men speak well of you (Luke 6:26), or do you suffer persecution (II Timothy 3:12), and tribulation (Acts 14:22)?

            Again, the message being given today is one of God’s acceptance for all people. It is therefore regarded that there is good in all, and salvation becomes a mending of new cloth onto the old, which makes things worse. This is that “form of godliness, which denies the power”, spoken of in II Timothy 3:5. In reality, it becomes a disguised works salvation, such as is spoken of in the book of Galatians. Even if it begins correctly, it falls away (II Thessalonians 2:3, I Timothy 4:1). Many are the examples of this—I know, because my own life was corrupt in this same fashion.

            When a person receives Christ today, typically, they then continue on with most of the same practices that they have always done. They perceive it to be acceptable, because their hearts are now “pure.” Biblically, Christians have no holidays (Acts 15:20; Galatians 4:9-11), but they continue on with pagan religious celebrations such as Christmas and Easter. They believe these observances now, for themselves, are pure, and honoring to God. Yes, they also celebrated these while unsaved! This gives them the impression that there was always something good in them; something that did good things, and honored God. We therefore see how the churches have retained religious rites from pagan tradition, thinking that such “works” pleased God.

            The visible church of today loves celebrities! Oh, how well they ignore Biblical admonition regarding respect of persons (James 2:9). When a celebrity claims to be, or to have become a born-again Christian, churches love to ride along on their bandwagon of fleshly fame. If such a one is really turned to the Lord, they are then encouraged to continue on in their career, because it is thought to bring attention to the cause of Christ. I do not make of habit of following such individuals, but even so, I am aware of very many that have fallen back into that sinful life which fame and fortune brings. There is good reason for this bad turnabout!

            Over and over again, God’s Word (KJV only) tells us to be holy. We are not to even touch the “unclean thing”, for then the whole becomes unclean (Haggai 2:13,14; II Corinthians 6:14-17). Churches today generally teach that Christians can “touch” almost anything, and they can make it holy! With this, as with many things, the visible church, by practice, actually opposes God’s Word.

            Yes, today’s Christians readily partake in lavish vacations, rock music, sports obsession, movies, television, and the like. How awful! We are just like the unsaved world around us, but justify ourselves, and do not repent.

For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. I Corinthians 11:31,32

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:1,2

And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. Romans 13:11-14

            God is challenging us to be the Christians that we profess to be (Matthew 12:37). The Lord showed me the following simple truth, by which He greatly began transforming my life:

Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2:4

            This verse has been precious to many Christians over the centuries, with the second part of it being quoted 3 times in the New Testament (Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38). Anytime I had heard this quote used, it was in reference to the soul salvation, and eternal life. God emphasized to me that we are to live by faith. Today, most believers take their faith only to be of benefit after they die. God really makes no daily difference in their lives. They work things out themselves, though many times stating that God is leading their actions! Such was the case that we read of in Jeremiah 42:4-7, 43:1,2. These would only obey the Lord if it was in accordance with their own determination.

            Our faith in God, lived out, will bring us into conflict with the unsaved world. We must live out our faith every day, for without faith, it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). Will you take the time to be sure of your salvation? Time is running out for this world, and not one of us is guaranteed tomorrow. Take time to separate yourself, and seek in prayer for your shortfalls with God. Fall upon the stone which the builders rejected, Jesus Christ: become broken in Him, and found your faith upon His Word (Luke 20:18; Matthew 7:24,25). What will a man give in exchange for His soul (Matthew 16:26)?

            Bad times are just ahead for this world. If we were warned that “the time is at hand” almost 2,000 years ago (Revelation 1:3), how near is it today? War will hit hard (Revelation 9:13-19), and then the antichrist shall come, with great lying signs and wonders (II Thessalonians 2:9; Revelation 13). The churches, having long cast away God’s Word, and real Christian faith, will readily give their allegiance to God’s enemy (II Thessalonians 2:9-12). It will only be after this period of antichrist, just over 3½ years, that the real Christ will return to rescue His very few and scattered sheep; just before the world’s judgment at Armageddon (Luke 17:28-30; Revelation 19:7-21).

            Don’t follow the faith of men (Matthew 15:7-9; II Corinthians 10:12,18), though they may outwardly appear learned and well-meaning (Acts 4:13). Humble yourself under God’s hand while there is still time, and receive His kingdom as a child. The Lord alone can save you by His grace: trust in Him rightly by His Word, while there is still time.

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. I Peter 5:8-10

DON'T FALL ASLEEP!

It has now been almost 20 months since the last posting, but by God's grace & allowance we will now resume occasionally. The Lord has been very busy spiritually renovating this frail, earthen vessel during this time.
We need to stay alert, and keep our eyes on Jesus Christ our Rock, and our salvation!
Lord willing, a more informative post will be coming up later this week, but if you would like to contact me personally, here is the info;
                                        Andy Schwankl

                                        Ephrata, Pa 17522
                                        (717) 435-2397
One thing has become clear to me over this time, and that is the need for true believers in Christ to follow where He certainly leads, and not to rush ahead, doing what we think might please Him. It is then, therefore, in this light, that I will proceed.
May the lord bless and keep you by His mercy & grace!

A steady move toward collapse

Earthquake watch:

- 4/16/12 had 12 total of 4.5+ magnitude, the high being a 5.8 in Sulawesi, Indonesia.

- 4/17 saw 25 total, but there were 3 of 6+ magnitude; a 6.8 in eastern New Guinea (Papua), a 6.7 offshore Valparaiso, Chile, and a 6.2 east of the South Sandwich Islands. These areas all lie in the "ring of fire" zone, but are not near to each other! We still expect to see high & low activity "cycling" with 'quakes, but anticipate an increase with the approach of Planet X, later this year. This may not be the only cause of the quake increase, but it is significant.

Where the WWIII preparations are at, 4/17/12

Where have we come to? What will happen next?
It seems that the situation in Syria has reached its climax, and open military intervention by NATO is immanent. In the scheme of things, Syria's ability to aid Iran in warfare must be neutralized prior to the war with Iran.

The nuclear "talks" now ensuing with Iran are real-time stage acting! It is a complete farce, and not worthy of intelligent acknowledgement. Iran has every right to develop nuclear power for peaceful purposes by international agreement, and has no record of even attempting to produce weapons with it. In short, there has NEVER BEEN A PROBLEM with Iran's possible nuclear weapon development, so how can there be negotiations to resolve imaginary problems?

World War III is a done deal, and so is the Iranian conflict; which is said to be a key point along the way in finally bringing about this war.

From all that I have seen and studied, it appears that the year 2012 will see the implementation of those plans for the final World War. If we have until 2013, it will be only an extension of God's grace! In other words, this will happen; even if the exact date, specific events and sequence is uncertain.

If the elections go off as scheduled, it seems more likely to me that the Iran war initiation will come just prior to it, probably in September. It still appears to me that a false-flag terror event blamed on Iran is the surest way to secure support. If such an event happens while Obama is in office prior to election, his military response against Iran would gain vast support, and he would be assured a 2nd term. A pre-emptive strike would be incredibly unpopular, and it is doubtful that the president would do that willingly. Still, we know that someone else is calling the shots for him!

The goal, in the end, is World Government. This war will mean the end of America as well, and every sovereign nation will yield its authority to this international body. Vast death and destruction will accompany this chain of events, and people will be desperate for a solution. To gain a better understanding of how this has all shaped up, please read the early blogs on this site, starting with The Mission of This Blog 6/19/11, through How real is the Threat of WWIII? on 6/26/11.

None of this is meant to cause panic, but awareness! It is a matter of life and death; first in the spiritual, but also in the physical. From this point on, you may follow along with your own research if you desire. Yet I think it far more prudent to begin taking action, than merely observing events unfold with your fingers crossed. I have been moved by the Lord to lay down the active updating of this blog, and proceed forward into the future in the way He so directs. Though I will continue to monitor happenings in the world, active updates will stop after tomorrow, 4/18/12. You will still readily be able to access all of the information given by the blog up until this point, and are welcomed to contact me for any reason at all.

See you tomorrow; my prayers are with you.

Preparing the masses for world gov't takeover

Watchman's warnings began last June as an attempt to awaken people to the reality of what is going on. Specifically, the plan for World War III, the establishment of world gov't out in the open (it is operating now covertly), and the rise of the Antichrist. Yet there are many elements that need to be "worked out" prior to a successful takeover on a global scale.

We have witnessed election fraud, media control, the establishment of unconstitutional laws such as the NDAA, seen the killing of American citizens by the president without trial, economic policies that will destroy us as surely as war, and made-up crises such as global warming designed only to promote finding a solution through world gov't (which would by no means be certain, even if the issue were real!). The list is really far greater than we have time for, but it is my hope that in these past 10 months you have been seeing enough to be aware of the real, corrupt nature of  the supposedly "God-fearing" nation we've been raised in.

Though we have seen much to discourage, we still must do our part to resist, and bring about change. Continue to support Ron Paul's campaign for president as best you are able. I have made sure that I am a registered Republican voter, and will be headed to the primaries in my state on 4/24. Ron Paul is definitely the man who should be president, and I invite you to read this speech from him, at least in part.

More & more news is clearly telling us that global warming is a contrived, scientifically baseless theory, invented only for the purposes of the oligarchs. Do not fall for it, nor support a world gov't to combat it, nor comply with the global taxation they want to initiate, using this fraud as a basis.

This last I include mostly as a point of interest; it is a Titanic conspiracy theory. Though nothing about this could ever be proven, I have seen enough "elimination" of opponents by globalists to know that they somehow pulled this off! It is sickening. I'll let you read this and ponder.

"If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not so costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no chance of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." -W. Churchill.

Active updates of this blog will cease after 4/18/2012. It is time to take action; to prepare. The blog itself will remain for your referrences, but hopefully by now all can be convinced of our dire situation, due to the info contained within this blog. WATCH-PRAY-PREPARE.

The Off-World influences toward WWIII & World Gov't

As we draw near to the conclusion of Watchman's Warnings, it seems appropriate to examine the influences/methods being employed to bring about this trun of events. Today I would highlight the potential use of off-world factors; specifically, alleged "alien" interaction, and the effects of Planet X.

The 10th planet of our solar system is known by many names, yet my preference is Nibiru; which I understand to be the ancient Sumerian name for this planet. This planet is not a work of fiction, and was positively affirmed at the end of 1983. The dangers posed by a close pass of this planet to Earth are enormous in potential. What will actually happen we can only speculate upon, but the vials of wrath in Revelation 16 could be a descriptive result of the effects.

It is my contention that our great concerns ought not to be with such a "natural" disaster (Can we call God's wrath natural?), but with the evil activities of men who strive to destroy & enslave the Earth. Yet I also believe that the globalists know about Nibiru and its effects, and this is the reason for the "hurry-up" mode that they have slipped into! Timing this event has great challenges, especially when its very existence is being covered up, but the best present guess is that its closest pass to Earth will be about mid-October of this year, 2012. Other ? remain, such as, is Nibiru a planet circling around our sun, or is it circling a nearly invisible brown dwarf star? This 10 minute video gives some decent highlights into the topic of Nibiru.

We cannot know how this event will be worked into the scheme for world gov't, but it will be! The vast underground facilities which have been built in the past 10 years or so are one evidence of governmental preparation.

The other "off-world" influence is that of alleged aliens. I do not believe in aliens, as this tends to support evolution theory, which is an unscientific lie! Yet I believe that DEVILS, the fallen angels, have been posing as aliens in order to gain full world control. If this is Noah's 2nd day, we find in Genesis 6 the corrupting influence of devils upon mankind as they interacted; I believe that now they are interacting again, this time showing themselves to be extra-terrestrial life forms.

We have already looked at the possibility of an alien false-flag invasion, revealed through sources like Project Blue Beam. I believe the "alien" involvement began in force back with Nazi Germany, later during WWII. Their contributions were then passed along to the U.S. via German intelligence, and then further developed by encounters such as the UFO crash in Roswell, New Mexico, as well as through Admiral Byrd's  "hollow earth" flight in 1947. These events precipitated what Pastor John Torrell (http://www.eaec.org/) has referred to as a technology transfer.

The angelic host is ancient, and great in wisdom/knowledge. Much of the technology they may have developed would have been lost to mankind through the Genesis Flood. Now, when mankind has sufficiently re-developed, unknown technologies have been passed along to us, with the ultimate goal of a Satanic one-world gov't under the rule of the Antichrist. These technologies would involve weapons, weather modification, computers, communications, and the like.

Many, many individuals have seen UFO's around the world, but I personally think that most are man-made. The fact that very, very few have seen/encountered supposed "aliens", ought to make one suspicious! If they were really who they claim, and wanted our best, then they would make themselves known to ALL of mankind in a very open, public way! Going to just an elite few has rather worked against us, by giving them powerful controlling technologies to employ for their own greed. I also believe that if God had created intelligence on other worlds, and they would interact with us, that He would have made it clear in His Word.

UFO's and the Christian World View is somewhat lengthy, but an excellent article, offering good insights.

Oh, if I could only share all that I have discovered about those suppressed technologies! We don't even need the "alien" factor, either. Men like Nikola Tesla had great insight, and developed an abundant source of clean, free energy for all of mankind. Instead, those that love $ and power have us addicted to oil (with its wars & environmental impact), dangerous nuclear power (Fukishima), and tempramental sources like solar and wind. This world that we live in could be transformed, except for that root of all evil, MONEY.

In the end, I say again that our most dangerous threats come from Satan, and his direction to men following his agendas. But it behoves us to be aware of the means he has at his disposal, and how they may be employed. Planet Nibiru, and alleged alien encounters have potential in the enemies plans.

Syria update & a look at the Iran nuke talks

__________________

The 'quake update for 1/13 (4.5+) had 24 total, and a 5.7 off the east coast of Honshu, Japan.
When I first looked at the USGS site, it listed this quake as a 6.0. To downgrade the magnitude to 5.7 afterwards is very unlike USGS! Other news agencies often at first overestimate the magnitude, but the USGS is generally accurate right away. Are they covering up the fact that it was yet another 6+ magnitude quake, the 3rd day in a row? This is a gov't agency, so how far can we trust them? Anyway, the 3 day total for 4.5+ quakes is at 106!

Pakistan focus; world stays active

Pakistan theater:

- Bomb kills 5 in northern Afghanistan.

- Pakistani fighter jets kill 8 militants.

- US attempting color revolution in Pakistan. Longer article, but worth reading!
_______________

Syria:

- Syria's 'very fragile' ceasefire could see UN observers on the ground in days.

- Armed groups clash with Syrian troops.
_______________

Other points of interest;

- The North Korean rocket/missile launched blew apart after about 1 minute of flight.

- US kills 12 in south Yemen drone strike.
_______________

In earthquakes of 4.5+ magnitude yesterday 4/12; there were 31 total, with the highs being a 6.9 & a 6.2 both in the Gulf of California. Things are continuing high for 4/13 so far, as a 6.0 has already been recorded! More on that with the final totals tomorrow.

- Ring of fire erupting.
_______________

Home front related;

- National movement to impeach Obama.

- Washington leads the world into lawlessness.

- US plans another 9/11 style attack.

As you can see, things are very busy, and should receive your continual scrutiny. Alert whomever you can as to what is going on; perhaps they will awaken in time to take appropriate action.

Earthquakes take top billing!

Really, I haven't been "quake watching" for very long, but it was easy to see that for about 5 days previous, the totals had been low. It regularly goes like this- high activity, then kind of a "rest." But those 5 days were quite low! Now then, as predicted, it came back on HIGH.

On 4/10, there were just 7 total 'quakes of 4.5+ magnitude. The greatest was a 5.8 north of Ascension Island.

4/11, however, saw 51 total! That shatters the previous observed high of 32. And the greatest 'quake was off the west coast of Northern Sumatra; an 8.6! It also had an 8.6 aftershock. Lost in the wake of these gigantic quakes were a 6.5 in Michoacan, Mexico, and a 5.9 off the Oregon coast. Any other day, those quakes would be news! And while the totals aren't yet in for 4/12, there has already been a 6.9 recorded in the Gulf of California. Clearly, something big is happening.

The fate of Syria, and Middle East unrest

All kinds of reports are now coming in from Syria, but the bottom line is that the Western-backed "opposition" to the Assad gov't won't cease their violent insurrections. A learned look at the situation in Syria is presented in;

-Syrian peace deal: UN's cloak to NATO's dagger.
_______________

- Violence kills 14 in SW Pakistan.

- 2 Pakistani troops killed in militant hit.

- Suicide attacks kill 22 in Afghanistan.

- Nine killed in Pakistan violent attacks.

- Clashes kill 60 Yemeni soldiers in south.
_______________
HOME FRONT:

- America's voting farce; hidden video.

- $5 trillion tax hike coming.

- 19 things of concern you aren't hearing about.
_______________

In 'quakes of 4.5+ magnitude, this has been the lowest # of 4 consecutive days that I have seen- if the USGS can be believed! Remember- it is government!
There have been but 9 total for 4/8&9, with a 5.4 in the Taiwan region 4/8, and a 4.7 in Vanuatu 4/9.

Syria approaching deadline

- Syria peace plan in disarray as Assad regime backs away from complete troop withdrawal.

- On eve of withdrawal deadline, hopes dwindle for a Syrian ceasefire.

As said before, Syria is between a rock & a hard place! The international community is demanding that the gov't forces lay down arms and back away, all the while that the opposition keeps marching violently forward. Would we tell our soldiers not to return fire, when fired upon? Withdrawl deadline is tomrrow, 4/10/2012.

Iran attack; point summary and speculation, 4/8/2012

Please view the following article/link;

- U.S.-Israel attack on Iran: the myth of limited warfare.

Yes, the attack on Iran is not an "if", but a when. In view of this recent article, it seemed that it might be appropriate to sum-up some of the news, and possibilities concerning this coming war.

To say that this war will be devastating for the world, is an understatement in the extreme. Yet such is the plan that the Illuminati/Freemasons are deploying. The objective in it it all is the destruction of the current system of independent nations, to be openly replaced by the New World Order; a one-world gov't that is already in place, and in control behind-the-scenes.

You've heard it said that the attack on Iran will precipitate World War III. This is definitely a part of the plan, though how it will progress after the initial attack is an unknown. I'm not too confident that even the powers planning this know exactly what is going to happen, and how!

Israel is, of course, the "flash-point" igniter of this war- as was announced in intention through Albert Pike's spirit guide back in 1871. The proclaimed purpose of this pre-emptive attack is to prevent Iran from making nuclear weapons, and to even keep them from being able to develop them. The info that I've looked at shows that such a purpose is just a smokescreen excuse for launching the war, just like the "weapons of mass destruction" alleged in the Iraq invasion. The underlying objective here, however, is world war and world government.

Many, many world leaders are "in on" the game plan, fulfilling their roles, playing their parts. While Iran has every right to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, it has not stepped beyond its desired bounds, seeking to develop weapons. The info that we have is that Iran already has nuclear weapons; provided for them by China and/or Russia. When attacked, they will respond with them- thus leading to at least a limited nuclear exchange in the Middle East. Just think; if it were generally known that Iran has nukes, that would be a deterrant to war, and take away the reasoning behind it! So why is it such an apparent secret? Because the global elite want war to bring about their objectives, and also reduce population. At some point after this "limited" nuclear war, the conflict will grow to become world-wide. That is the stated goal behind the scenes, but logically it could escalate much more quickly.

So how will the U.S. fare? We have a great many advanced weapons that are unknown to our enemies, and the general public. This doesn't make us impervious to attack, any more than Nazi Germany's advanced weapons could bring them victory in WWII. I believe that America will also be destroyed as a nation, in keeping with the overall intended purpose to bring about world gov't. But how that will come about is a big question mark. It could come via sneak attack by China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, or some other nation we've angered (a very big list!). Yet it could also come through solar flares and earthquakes, with the much anticipated approach of Planet X later this year. Vast underground facilities have been built across the U.S. in anticipation of weathering out nuclear attacks or solar storms, with 2012 being the focal year.

The Iran attack could be initiated through a false flag event; perhaps even a nuclear false flag. I really hope not. Either that, or some provocation that causes Iran to use a nuke; for which we retaliate in all-out war. The state controlled media has been doing its job in swaying our sentiments against Iran.

It is possible that this war is being put off until later this year (September or later), and any time that we can gain is something to be taken advantage of! Yet I believe that the "finger is on the trigger", and could be pulled almost anytime now, in accordance with globalist objectives.

There is another short update article following this one today.
WATCH-PRAY-PREPARE

Looking toward Syria

-Syrian violence claims 27 dead in run-up to truce.

- Activists say 24 killed in clashes in central Syria.

- Journalist exposes media war on Syria. Short video/article.

- False flag attack. Good article, taking an example, and indicating the historic use of "false flags."

We will be diligently watching the upcoming "truce" in Syria. The gov't is now wanting written assurances from the opposition before pulling their troops out of contested areas. It is my opinion the Western powers have determined to make some type of further military strike on Syria, rather than just go to "regime change." I really hope that I am wrong.

Now in other updates;

- Militants blow up school in NW Pakistan.

- 6 killed, 10 wounded in Somali blasts.

- U.S. drone strike kills 8 in Yemen.

- North Korea threatens retaliation as it readies rocket launch.
The situation is, that N.Korea plans a rocket launch somewhere between 4/12-16; claiming that it is part of a celebration. The international community fears that it is a test for ballistic missiles, in direct violation of treaty.

Globalist controls on the home front

Bringing about World War III, the one-world gov't, and the rule of ANTICHRIST takes a lot of preparation. We will see far greater symptoms of this coming war than at times seem like they could be related to it. The enemy is now waging a war with our minds, and our wills, and it is important to recognize what is happening.

This blog contains a # of links which address different aspects of the controls we are fighting. Please take the time to read these and consider, for knowing the truth is the important step toward freedom.

Barring exceptional, breaking news, I will be back on Friday.

Syrian conflict reaching a climax

The Western-backed, Israeli-directed "uprising" in Syria is reaching a climax. This is viewed as a necessary step before the attack on Iran!
Yesterday I was raising the question, if an attack on Syria will really be avoided. President Assad has shown great cooperation in addressing foreign demands, yet his military must remain actively engaged in defending itself, and the citizenry. As you will see from the progression of these articles, listed in the order of their posting, it at least seems that some greater type of military engagement is favored. If that is the case, and it is followed through, the attack would seek to destroy much of Syria's miltary capacity.

- Syria clashes complicate peace mission.
- Syria needs time for safe army withdrawal, says official.
- Syria says it won't be the first to lay down arms.
- Clinton doubts that Syria's Assad is interested in peace.

U.S. is armed and active

- U.N. orders immediate Syria ceasefire:'The deadline is now.'

As you know, the U.N. Security Council came to a unanimous ruling on Syria a little while ago. The resolution has plenty of leeway written into it which allows for military action to be taken. On the one hand, the U.S. & allies are inciting insurrection within Syria, all the while "officially" demanding that the Syrian army stand down! What will happen?

The goal here is regime change, with a new leadership favorable to the Western powers, and will not back Iran, once the shooting starts. If the West is sure of the new gov't, no widened military aggression may take place. But if they are uncertain, it would be better to inflict heavy military losses to Syria, so that they will be unable to help Iran. Syria has an advanced, modern military that has to be reckoned with.

Some other insights on the coming World War III

This blog contains only a few links, and no listed, up-to-date articles.

The main videos linked are entitled, "Red Alert-World War Three is being pre-planned." The 3 videos total but 25 minutes, and it seems to me that the first 2 are complete w/o part 3, but I've included it for those who are curious!

- Part I

- Part II

- Part III

- Iran war coming! We posted this one a while back, but it's worth another look.

- Israel's attack on the USS Liberty. This article gives an overview on the subject, if you're interested.
