Watchers & Watchmen
You challenged me to try to prove my statements and beliefs in the watchmen. So hear is my feeble attempt to do so. First let me state it cannot be proven in order to prove something you must prove it to a majority, you have to break down their barriers and training. And fight common beliefs that may or may not themselves be provable the even though they have been taught for decades or centuries they are still someone else’s interpretation.

That is why I endeavor to interpret as little as possible. I generally try to quote verses verbatim and stick to the facts. So can I prove that the end times are upon us
Matthew 24:36 states this clearly no man knows the day or the hour. So let move on to what I do know from 5 years of extensive research. So hear I sit with over ten books 60 pages of notes and my beat up old laptop to try and prove it to you. I believe I was called to be a watchman.

Let me try to convince you of this first because if you don't believe this then everything else will be tainted. Strongs states that a Watchman is a guard, to peer into the distance, protect, to watch translated from the Hebrew word natsar witch if you look previous to this natsar also means Watchers (not to be confused with the Watcher angels) but we debated this before because when I met you I told you I was called to be a watcher and you believed that to be impossible. Because of course I am no angel but this proves that I was not mistaken. I switched to the term watchman to rid myself of these arguments.

Strongs states that the word NATSAR
pronounced naw-tsar to guard in a good sense (to Protect, maintain, obey, ect)(Pg 457). So you see watchers and watchman can be the same biblically. Because of the root Hebrew word.

Is this a matter of my own pride as you accused once, a reasonable question I suppose but look at it from my point of view? I CANT TELL HARDLY ANYONE BECAUSE, they will think I'm nuts a question I have asked with myself many times. I live in relative obscurity because it allows me freedoms that other people do not enjoy.

As it states in Psalms 102:7 I watch and I
am as a sparrow alone on the housetop. Everyone I tell these things to do not buy what I tell them so I tell only very select
people so that what I've got to say will be taken more seriously. I hate public speaking or standing out in any way so this is more of a sentence than a gift as you see it.

I also fear constantly that I may follow the wrong path as it states in Luke 11:35 "Take heed therefore that the light which is in the be not darkness. : 36 If thy whole body therefore be full of light having no part
dark the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shinning of a candle doth give the light.

Since I see myself as a substandard Christian at best I worry all the time about my path and what I tell anyone. And as it states clearly in Luke 10:23-24 nobody ever listens to the prophets anyway And he turned unto his disciples and said privately blessed are the eyes which see the things that yee see: 24 For I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see and have not seen them and to hear those things witch ye hear and have not heard them.

Not that I am a Prophet more of a
historian I think but look what happened to the prophets. They were tortured and killed I.E. John the Baptist and does not Luke 4:24 say and he said verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country. So I would be doomed to be seen of as a fool for my whole life. And how many verses talk about the persecution of prophets mt 21:4,mt 14:5,lk 4:24,lk 6:23, Lk
13:34,mt 23:31 just to name a few. So why would this be a matter of pride who would aspire to a life of hardship with
absolutely no recognition for it during my life. No I would much rather just go to church every week like everyone else.

You seek proof of everything, I myself suffer from the same flaw here is a verse I submit for both of us Mt 12:39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall be no sign given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah. No it is no a matter of pride this thing is more of a sentence to a life I never wished for but must do as I am called to do. Like it says in Matthew 12:50 for whosoever do the will of my Father which is in Heaven, the same is my brother
and sister, and mother. And many other verses warn of not doing the will of GOD.

Ok moving on there are few verses in the bible dealing with watchmen or watchers that are not Angels. Most of the verses dealing with watchers deal with the angelic kind. So we will focus on the verses dealing with watchmen for the most part, also verses on watching and being watchfull.2 Sam 18:24-32,2 Kings 9:17-21,2 Kings 11 5-8,2Ki 18:8,2Ps 127:1,Ez 3:17-21: 17

Son of man I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel therefore hear the word at my mouth and give them warning:
18 when I say unto the wicked. Thou shat surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at thine hand. Which if you read all the way to verse 21 a watchman will be held responsible if he does not do his DUTY and warn people of the danger to come. Ez 33:1-9 is even labeled in my bible a watchman's duty. Gen 47:2 and he took of his brethren five men and
presented them to Pharaoh. Judges 18:2 And the children of Dan sent of their family five men from their coasts, men of valor from Zorah and from Eshtanol to spy out the land, and to search it; and they said unto them.

Go search the land; who when they came to mount Ephraim to the house of Micah they where lodge there. Isaiah 21:5-12 Isaiah was a watchman. So were Ezekiel and Daniel. Jer 31:6 for there shall be a day that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, arise ye and let us go
up to Zion unto the Lord our God.

My Bible says with this verse prophets were often called watchmen. Neh 4:9,nevertheless we made our prayer unto our GOD, and set a watch against them day and night because of them. Neh 7:3,And as a final
thought on this subject Rev.16: 15 Behold I come as a thief blessed is he that watcheth and keepeth his garments, least he walk naked, and they see his shame. Gen 47:2,Is 21:6-10.Can I prove that I am a watchman No that is why they call it faith.

Ok we will move onto the other subject we were talking about weather I would be here for the Tribulation period. As I believe it will. Lets address the verse you quoted. First lets define wrath for the record. Strongs states that wrath is anger, rage, outburst of passion, or punishments it translate into many Hebrew words such as orge and za'aph. 1 Thes 5:9 clearly states that:

9For GOD hath not appointed us to wrath but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ. I personally would interpret this that Christians are not appointed to hell because of their faith in Jesus Christ. But lets stick to facts and not my opinion.

1Thes 5:6 also states. Therfore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us WATCH and be sober. I do not wish to change your beliefs in the pre tribulation. I just want to show you there is another choice I have read all the arguments on pre during and post and find all of them lacking substinance so I allow that any of them may be true. Because we as flawed humans sometimes do not have the wisdom to interpret the Bible accurately at times. That is why there are so many different beliefs within Christianity, Judaism
and Islam. Ok the period preceding the end is called the tribulation period. Strongs says that Tribulation is a time of trouble.

There are many Christians in this time. Popular belief is that these are converted after the rapture. Fine I'll buy that makes sense. But what happened to Christians are not appointed to wrath are these not Christians. Mathew 24 gives clear warning for Gods
people to flee why would they flee something they would not be here for. The word wrath does not even show up in the bookof revelation till chapter 6 so even by the pre trib theory Christians could have to endure the first 6 chapters.

Since it is called the Tribulation period not the Wrath period Christians have always had to endure times of trouble.I.E. The trails of Job John the Baptist, The CROSS, Ect. How do we know that we will not be here and protected from Gods wrath as the 144,000 witnesses will be protected from GODS wrath and Satan’s maybe we will have to endure Satan’s shit but not GODS wrath.

Christians and Jews have been punished by GOD MANY MANY times have they not? For our stupidity. And we shurly have had to endure Satan’s shenanigans for many ceturies, have we not. Does not Mark 13:13 state And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. So this states that being a Christian will be no bed of roses, as many believe today.

Mark 13:14-23 also states that after the Abomination of Desolation if you are in Judea flee. Luke 6:20-26 states clearly that Christians will have to endure many hardships.
Have you ever heard the term Acams Razor? It is a scientific term simply put all things being equal the simplest answer is
usually the correct one. Rev 14:10 states the same shall drink of the wrath of GOD, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone. In the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the LAMB. Witch gives credence to my previous wrath hell theory. But Rev 16 shows clearly that wrath can be troubles or judgment to. Called the vials of wrath the are according to my Bibles interpretation GODS punishment of sinners inthat time.

Even Tim LaHaye states on Page77 of his book Bible Prophesy For Yourself. That the bible is unclear on when in
the tribulation period the rapture will occur. Even though he believes in pre trib. To support your view Rev 3:10 since your have kept my command to endure patently, I will also keep you from the hour of trail that is going to come upon the whole world to test those who live on the earth. Hey I'll buy that one.

But it will not happen till after the anti Christ is revealed this is stated in 2Thes 2:3Let no man deceive you by any means for that day shall not come except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed the son of perdition. So the Rapture cannot happen till the Anti-Christ is revealed. The next verse talks of the Abomination of Desolation so it may mean either when he comes on the scene or when he shows his ass in the Temple of
GOD.

Ok I’ve been at this all day imp not saying your wrong I’m just saying don’t believe something just because it has been
taught for a long time science teaches this well. Take a lesson from it 500 years ago we new the world revolved around the
sun.400 years ago we new the earth was flat.100 years ago we new that man would never fly.50 years ago we new man would never go to the moon. Ten years ago cloning was still imposable. Just think what well know tomorrow. All I’m saying is don’t close your mind to the possibility that every situation is covered by modern teachings. You very well may be ruptured but for some reason some of us due to no fault of our own may need to stay behind to do a job for Our LORD this may not be covered in the standard teaching of the bible we just don’t know.

Look at your book The Bible Code that I am about half way through those teachings in the bible could not be found till recently they were always theory but we lacked the understanding. Till we were ready the
message was hidden from US.

Do you know that Isaac Newton predicted that the end times would start in 2001.Hears a quote for you what this country needs is dirtier finger nails and cleaner minds (Will Rodgers) On 03/27/01 pastor David Wilkerson did a sermon in Times Square where he was calling the watchmen.

Prior to 10/12/00 Art Bell did an interview with a watchman in Australia. I have many more cited examples in my personal notes that I would be Happy to share with you but we all believe the end is near anyway but these things make good ammunition.

Another good chapter on watchmen you may care to read is Hab 2. So dear friend weather or not I've convinced you of anything I hope you’ve found this letter informative. God
Bless and as always you
are in my prayers.
Take Care
