Christian watchmen also watch for danger, but they also watch for signs of something wonderful. Jesus promised to return, and He said that as that time approached, there would be certain signs. Not all of those signs are negative. For instance, He said that in the time leading up to His return, the Gospel would be preached in all the world. That’s positive!
But much of what He and the prophets told us about the time preceding His return sounds scary — terrifying even. The watchman on the wall must look out into the darkness. He must be unflinching. And, to be honest, it can be depressing. If you have a similar calling, you know what I mean. It’s heartbreaking to see so many people choosing paths of destruction and pain.
Since 2020, things have been changing at breakneck speed. The whole world seems to be convulsing with violent rage. A Russian weatherman recently joked that conditions were “ideal” for a nuclear strike against NATO. He thought it funny to “joke” about starting World War 3 and causing death on a scale never known before, especially in his own land. It was supposed to be humorous to think of hundreds of millions severely injured, in horrible pain, but unable to receive medical aid. Is mass starvation funny? Are irradiated cities funny? They apparently are to this guy.

It’s becoming more difficult by the day! My heart grows so heavy with the weight of the evil being unleashed upon the world. Some days my heart swells with righteous anger over the injustices I’m witnessing and turns to thoughts of evil deeds. Have courage my church family! I remember we’re taught, “ Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”
I’m praying selfishly 🙏 we fly ASAP… yet also for the Lord to tarry that none should perish & too many still need to be saved! I watch to bear witness as a living record of God’s grace and mercy and that His divine judgment is true.
