GOD'S WATCHMEN
God's watchmen are sounding the alarm, revealing the very nature of God's Word, warning of impending judgment unless repentance is sought, as in the case of Nineveh. God gave that great city forty days in which to repent, and they cried mightily unto the Lord, and repented of their ways, and God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God relented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not (Jonah 3:8-10). America, and other nations, have no such thought in mind but rather are increasing in their ungodliness with no thought of a rescinding order from God. We are seeing record breaking natural disasters, a global economy that is in trouble, new threats rising on a almost daily basis, yet there is no repentant spirit in sight. Sounding the AlarmGod's watchmen are sounding the alarm but few are heeding the call, a turnaround from the destructive ways that are promoting the wrath of God. Ungodliness is flourishing with it being made lawful to do so. A new code of ethics, morals is being consumed with relish.There is a lack of moral discipline in lives of those that should be a role model for others to follow. Ungodliness is being promoted because there is little shame, and acceptance is now at an all time high. Respectability that use to be a norm is now being pushed aside for other desires to be fed. Has the imaginations of the heart once again brought displeasure to the God of our creation? Has His judgmental side been unleashed; have we been weighed in the balance and found wanting? An alarm bell is going off but an attitude of indifference continues to dominate the scene. Warn Them That Are UnrulyGod's Word reveals that we are to warn them that are unruly, comfort the faint-hearted, support the weak, be patient toward all men, follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. Prove all things; hold fast to that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil. And the very God of peace sanctify you; that your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Thessalonians 5:14-23).God's watchmen are sounding the alarm, and so much the more as the Day of the Lord approaches. Now is not the time to take ease, drink, and be merry, but a time that should be nourished towards drawing closer to the Lord and His soon appearing.
