Watchman: Daily Devotional, NIV “I Also Withheld Rain From You When the Harvest Was Still Three Months Away. I Sent Rain to One Town but Withheld It From Another. One Field Had Rain; Another Had None and Dried Up–the U.N. Says This Is Climate Change. God Says They Are Fools Without Understanding

Daily Devotional: UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that it is important to tackle climate change with “much greater ambition.” It is interesting to note how the phrase “climate change” is replacing “global warming” as the catch phrase of environmentalism. Some scientists/climatologists are certain that human activity, primarily greenhouse gas emissions, is impacting the environment. What they are not certain about is precisely what the impact will be. A couple of decades ago, “global cooling” was the fear, with warnings of a new ice age being the primary scare tactic. While most scientists/climatologists today believe that global warming is the primary risk, uncertainty has led to “climate change” being used as a less specific warning. Essentially, the climate change message is this: greenhouse gas emissions are damaging the environment, and, while we are not certain what the effect will be, we…

Watchman: Daily Devotional,Even Though the People Had Faith in Him, He Did Not Give Them His Word. He Had an Intuitive Grasp of Humanity. Jesus Understood That Men Would Be Self-Absorbed and Treacherous Because the Spirit Had Not Yet Been Poured Out

Daily Devotional: John 2:23-25 23 Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the miraculous signs he was doing and believed in his name. 24 But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all men. 25 He did not need man’s testimony about man, for he knew what was in a man. This Passover celebration marked the beginning of Jesus’ public ministry. He went there annually before, but now the Holy Spirit was telling him to perform miracles to back up his words. The Jews thought a prophet’s credibility could be established by miracles. Some of the signs of Jesus’ identity as the Messiah were miracles that no ordinary prophet could perform. Despite the fact that many of the people had faith in Him, Jesus did not commit or entrust himself to…

The Watchman: Daily Devotion, “Radical, Corrupt Governments” Similarly, the Term (Osheq) “Oppression” Has Two Primary Meanings: (2) “Extortion” (As in Isaiah 54:14). AKA Global Governments–New Word Order Fools!

Daily Devotional: Ecclesiastes 5:8 tn Heb “robbery.” The noun (gezel, “robbery”) refers to the wrestling away of righteousness or the perversion of justice (HALOT 186 s.v. version of justice (HALOT 186 s.v. ). The related forms of the root mean “to rob; to loot” (HALOT 186 s.v. ). The term “robbery” is used as a figure for the perversion of justice (hypocatastasis): just as a thief robs his victims through physical violence, so corrupt government officials “rob” the poor through the perversion of justice. All good things must come to an end (New World Order Hopefuls) Whether societies are ruled by ruthless dictators or more well-meaning representatives, they fall apart in time, with different degrees of severity. Revelation 18:11-13 The merchants, who gained wealth and perverse pleasures from this world’s system of religion and commerce, cry and lament because it…

Watchman: Daily Devotional, Jesus Summarizes It All by Declaring That the Ways of His Kingdom Are Frequently in Conflict With the Ways of the World. There Will Be a Significant Number of People Who Are Currently in Last Place Who Will Move Up to First Place. The World of the Kingdom, Which Is Turned On Its Head, Guarantees to Make Things Right for Those Who Have Been Wronged

Daily Devotional: Matthew 19:28-30 (NIV) 28 Jesus said to them, “I tell you the truth, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life. 30 But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first. Following Jesus’ exhortation to the rich young ruler, Peter inquired as to what it meant for them to have left everything to follow Jesus. First, Jesus assures his followers that they will hold positions of responsibility in the upcoming kingdom. First,…

Watchman: Daily Devotional, Let No One Deceive You With Empty Words,for Because of Such Things, God’s Wrath Comes on Those Who Are Disobedient. Therefore, Do Not Be Partners With Them

Daily Devotional: He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. (John 1:9-11) All of us are born into the world through the physical seed passed down through our parents, and we begin our physical life as members of the world system of darkness, ruled by Satan. We have a duty to shine the light of truth into the darkest corners of deception in Satan’s world system, which includes everything that operates the world system today: politics, economics, education, religion, the military, and especially today, medicine, which is pharmakeia in the original Greek language of the New Testament and is translated into the English Bible translation. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for…

Watchman: Daily Devotional, Getting Over Pessimism “Philip” Was One of the Twelve Apostles (Matthew 10:3). Pessimism Blinds You to the Abundance of God’s Riches

Daily Devotional: For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, 2 if ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: 3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, 4 whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) 5 which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; 6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: 7 Whereof I was made a minister according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working…

Watchman: Daily Devotional,Declarations of Jesus’ Identity Can Be Found Throughout the Gospel of John. Jesus Is the Light of the World, According to One of These Declarations of Faith. The Darkness Represents Ignorance and Uncertainty. Light Is Clarity

Daily Devotional: John 1:9,11-12 9 The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world.11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12 Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God Declarations of Jesus’ identity can be found throughout the Gospel of John. Jesus is the light of the world, according to one of these declarations. The darkness represents ignorance and uncertainty. Light is clarity, revealing things for what they truly are. Verse 9 states unequivocally that everyone who enters the world is given light. Nobody dies without receiving a revelation of the light. John then goes on to describe the various reactions to the light that shines on everyone. The first is from…

Watchman: Daily Devotional, John’s Greatest Joy Was to Know That His Spiritual Children Were Walking in the Truth (3 John 4). He Firmly Denounced Anyone Who Attempted to Divert Them From That Goal by Denying or Distorting God’s Word

Daily Devotional: As 1 John 2:5 says, “Whoever keeps [God’s] word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected.” Some imagine John as overly sentimental and egotistical, lying on Jesus’ shoulder and constantly referring to himself as the disciple whom Jesus loved. However, that is not an accurate description of one of the “Sons of Thunder”! He adored Jesus and was astounded that Jesus adored him, especially after he desired to burn the Samaritans and then secure a prominent position in Christ’s kingdom. Calling himself “the disciple whom Jesus loved” (e.g., John 21:20) was simply a way for him to express his gratitude for God’s grace in his life. As much as he adored Jesus, John never allowed his feelings to become sentimental. In fact, his ministry is distinguished by the proper balance of truth and love. We…

Watchman: Daily Devotional, Jesus Directed This Parable at Self-Righteous People Who Thought Highly of Themselves and Looked Down on Others. Pride in One’s Spirituality Can Be Devastating. Like Taking Painkillers on a Regular Basis, It Numbs Us to the Suffering That Lies Within

Daily Devotional: Luke 18:11-14 11 The Pharisee stood up and prayed about himself: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men-robbers, evildoers, adulterers-or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’ 13″ But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’ 14″ I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.” This parable was told by Jesus to those who were self-satisfied and looked down on others. Spiritual pride is a soul-destroying disease. It’s similar to taking painkillers on a regular basis, which blinds…

Watchman: Daily Devotional,Those of Us Who Have Been Educated in Western Culture Today Have Been Taught to Believe That the Center of a Person’s Consciousness and Thoughts Is Our Brain–Not True

Daily Devotional: Modern society thinks that only the knowledge that can be observed in the physical world is true and valuable, which is a very limited and narrow understanding of what science and knowledge really are. Modern man has become the EVIL religion of it. Science cannot prove anything! It can only collect data and form hypotheses from that data to produce “theories” as to what is true and what is not, and then these theories are continually tested as new data is discovered, and updated accordingly. “Scientific proof” does NOT “prove” truth What modern Western Culture does with its “scientific belief” that all “truth” is contained within the physical realm where it can be observed and cataloged, is completely ignore the spirit and soul of mankind, our non-physical and meta-physical components. It is, therefore, this a priori belief that attributes…
