But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.
If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;
Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
Ezekiel 33:5
He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.
The ‘Two Prophets’ and an Earthquake that kills 7,000 people in Jerusalem: ‘11’ is a WARNING. ‘13’ is destruction.
Revelation ‘11’ King James Version
11 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months (3.5 years).
3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
11 And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
‘13’ And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven (7) thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
‘Only a Question of When (2024) ’: Israel Must Do More to Prepare for Major Earthquake Threat, Say Experts. ‘… And in the same hour there was a GREAT EARTHQUAKTE and a tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain SEVEN (7,000) thousand.’ NW note, ‘If my math is correct, God is giving Israel/Jerusalem a three and half year warning. 42 months.’ According to a scenario presented to Israel’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee in 2016, a major earthquake in Israel would cause about 7,000 SEVEN (7) FATALITIES. ‘A Prophecy of a Prophecy.’ (A Strongly Encouraged Read.)

Though talk of the most pressing risks facing Israel often focuses on regional foes like Iran, one national security expert is sounding the alarm about the country’s readiness for a potentially catastrophic natural disaster.
“There is enough geological information to determine with certainty that a large-scale, destructive earthquake will occur in Israel,” Ariel Heimann, a geologist and visiting fellow at the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS), told The Algemeiner in an interview. “It is not a question of if, it’s only a question of when, and everybody knows that.” (NW note; if my math is correct, 2024).
“Even though an earthquake is a likely and significant threat to Israel’s national security and resilience, the resources and attention dedicated to preparedness for it are significantly less than those allocated to preparedness and confrontation with other threats, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the threat from Iran,” he said.
According to Heimann, the risks of such a natural disaster have been underestimated in part because the timing of the next major earthquake (2024) is so difficult to predict.
“The earthquake threat doesn’t have the right or the best PR,” Heimann said. “It might take 10 or 20 years or less, meaning that it might not happen during the tenure of the current governing politicians, so they think it is not their business to deal with.”
Night Watchman Note; 1,260 days = 42 months
Earthquakes occur mainly in the border regions between tectonic plates moving over the earth and the friction that results from the motion between them. Israel is affected by the collisions of the African plate with the European plate, and mainly by the friction stemming from the motion between the Arabian plate east of Israel and the African plate. Many earthquakes occur along this border between the plates, which stretches from the Red Sea and the Gulf of Eilat in the south, through the Jordan Valley, and up to Turkey in the north.
In December, Tel Aviv University researchers warned that an earthquake estimated to measure 6.5 on the Richter scale — potentially causing hundreds of deaths and destroying poorly-built buildings — is expected to hit Israel in the coming years. The projection was based on the results of a study after researchers drilled to a depth of hundreds of meters under the bed of the Dead Sea and were able to analyze the history of earthquakes in the region over the last 220,000 years, which they claim is the longest record of its kind in the world.
“The geological record does not lie and a major earthquake in Israel will come,” said Prof. Shmuel Marco, who heads Tel Aviv University’s Porter School of the Environment and Earth Sciences. “We live in an earthquake country much like California, although in California the earthquakes are much more frequent than in Israel.”
The last major earthquake with a magnitude of about 6.5 on the Richter scale struck the Dead Sea valley region in 1927, claiming the lives of 500 (5) people. Over 130 (5×6) people were killed in Jerusalem alone, while 450 were injured and 300 buildings collapsed or were seriously damaged.
According to a scenario presented to Israel’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee in 2016, a major earthquake in Israel would cause about 7,000 fatalities with 8,600 people seriously injured, and would leave 170,000 people homeless.
Revelation 11:13, ‘…and in the earthquake were slain of men seven (7) thousand…’
“In such a scenario, Israel would have a high likelihood of entering a state of ongoing disaster,” cautioned Heimann, who is a former senior researcher at the Geological Survey of Israel. “Buildings would collapse in dozens of communities, and the various rescue units, even if many and well-trained, would not succeed in treating the majority of those injured.”
Heimann argued that the government and state authorities are not sufficiently investing in the preparations to mitigate damage, such as by strengthening buildings, or preparing the various bodies, institutions, and citizens themselves.
“Above all, in Israel there is no overarching body in charge of managing the state’s overall preparations for mass disasters, including earthquakes, with specific responsibility and enforcement powers over state institutions, the economy, and citizens,” he said.
One concern is that many old buildings in Israel built before the 1980s do not meet the earthquake construction standard.
“Some of these buildings are dilapidated, evidenced recently, for example, when a residential building in Holon collapsed even without the ground shaking,” said Heimann.
In the past, he noted, Israel had decided to allocate 5 billion shekels ($1.5 billion) to strengthen buildings for earthquakes, but a government ministry report last year showed that only 7 million shekels were transferred. Additionally, Israel’s budget proposal for 2021-2022 makes no special reference to earthquakes.
While Israelis can react within seconds when they hear a siren warning of an incoming rocket attack, they are not routinely drilled for the eventuality of an earthquake.
“We Israelis live with this feeling that no matter where we are, if it is in Antarctica, Israel will take risks to try and save us. This is our nature. We are sure that if my house will collapse due to an earthquake, the country will come and save me, and what we don’t understand that the country will not have the ability to do it and we will have to do it by ourselves,” Heimann argued.
An Algemeiner request for comment to Israel’s ministerial Earthquake Preparedness Steering Committee was not answered at publication.
Israel does already have a number of preparations in place, including regular drills by the Home Front Command’s search and rescue units, and national and local exercises. The country is also now running a public-private pilot for an earthquake early warning system, which can potentially send out alerts to population centers, companies and factories as the earthquake hits but before significant ground shaking.
“We spend a lot of money to insure our property, our health and our life not because we plan for anything to happen, but we want to be ready when and if it happens, and the same should be with earthquakes,” said Professor Marco. “We should be ready all the time, because nobody is going to tell us days or weeks or months before the earthquake.” (NW note; 2024 if my math is correct.)
NEOM Babylon ‘The BEAST’S GREAT CITY’, destroyed in ‘one hour’ and split into three parts by the greatest cataclysmic earthquake (10.0 if my math is correct) to ever hit the planet.
Seven-fold References to the great city of Babylon:
- … “And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.” (Rev. 14:8).
- … “And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.” (Rev. 17:18).
- … “Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour is thy judgement come.” (Rev. 18:10).
- … “And saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls.” For in on hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, “And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! (Rev. 18:16-18).
- … “And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! For in one hour is she made desolate.” (Rev. 18:19)
- … “And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.” (Rev. 18:21).
- And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. (Rev. 16:19)
Commentary: “great city” is a descriptive reference for the physical city of Babylon. This is not a descriptive reference to Mystery Religion Babylon. Babylon City is described as “great” (not in a positive sense, but in a negative sense) because of what the city does throughout the earth during the Tribulation. It serves as a home-base for the Mystery Religion of Babylon. It serves as the capital for the Babylon kingdom. The city is decked out in massive, earthly wealth and material splendor. The glory of Jesus Christ or God is not found anywhere in Babylon City. Worship of Jesus Christ and God is not found anywhere in the city. The city is home to all sorts of foul, evil/unclean spirits and likewise men. As far as the values of evil men, the great city of Babylon has it all. Everything evil can be found in Babylon City, the “great city.” Nonetheless, Babylon City is crushed within one hour during the Day of the Lord’s return. A massive, worldwide earthquake splits this city into three parts. The destruction so great and consuming, that smoke of her burning can be seen many miles away at sea. Businessmen and merchants don’t want to go anywhere near the “great city” because they are afraid that they might receive the same fate due to association. They lament, because their best customer just got hammered and their gravy train has ended. Thus, their profits and gain have so ended. So much for the “great city.” It was quickly thrown away and destroyed just like a giant mill-stone thrown into the sea. Never to be found again.
Seven-fold Dooms on Babylon City:
- All plagues come in one day, one hour, death, mourning, famine, burning with fire. (Rev. 18:8, 10)
- The great city is divided into three parts by the great earthquake on the Day of the Lord. (Rev. 16:19)
- No music will be heard. (Rev. 18:22)
- No craftsman (industry) will be found. (Rev. 18:22)
- No millstone (delicious dining, restaurants) will be found. (Rev. 18:22)
- No light (artificial or natural) will shine. (Rev. 18:23)
- Voice of the bridegroom and bride (marriages) will not be heard. (Rev. 18:23)
Commentary: These verses describe what happens to the capital city of an evil empire, when God brings his ‘celestial hammer of wrath’. The city gets hammered and pounded into oblivion. (Rev. 18:21) … “And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.” The basic things of city living disappear within an hour. An earthquake splits the city into three parts. The burning and smoke from the city can be seen for many miles offshore by sailors, and captains of vessels who transported wealth to Babylon’s docks. (Rev. 17:17). Also, kings of the world and merchants plying their merchandise with Babylon can see the smoke from her destruction and are severely pained because they know their best customer has been destroyed along with their livelihood. They are also afraid for themselves and keep their distance, in case they might receive the same wrath as Babylon. (Rev. 17:11, 17:15, 17-19).
Night Watchman Note; The ‘geniuses’ who planned and are building NEOM (Babylon) in the North Western region of Saudi Arabia, known as ‘Tabuk’ are building ‘THE GREAT CITY’ ON TOP OF THREE OF THE LARGEST TECTONIC PLATES IN THE WORLD. IMAGINE THAT! GOD WILL HAVE THE ‘LAST LAUGH.’
Seismic Hazard Assessment for Tabuk City, NW Saudi Arabia
Ziyad I. Al-Besher King Abdul-Aziz City for Science and Technology, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Received August 2013. Journal of Geoscience and Environment Protection 2013. Vol.1, No.3, 7-11 Published Online December 2013 in SciRes (http://www.scirp.org/journal/gep)
Tectonic Setting: The Tabuk is an area located in the northwestern part of the Arabian Plate. This Plate is surrounded by three tectonic regimes; divergent, convergent, and transform. The divergent boundaries in the west and south represent the recent spreading along the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden respectively. The active convergent margin lies to the northeast in the TurkishIranian Plateau, where continental collision has given rise to this Plateau. A major continental strike-slip fault zone bounds the plate in the northwest. This is the Dead Sea Transform fault which runs from the Gulf of Aqaba through the Dead Sea and Syria into southern Turkey. A second transform boundary exists to the southeast (offshore of Oman) in the intra-oceanic Owen Fracture Zone. This boundary with the Indian Plate is the oldest and least active tectonic margin of the Arabian Plate. The tectonic pattern of the region is inherited from the basement tectonics of ancient Nubian-Arabian shield, which received its main structural imprint during the late Precambrian orogenies. The most important among the tectonic features is the northwest-southeast striking faults (parallel to the Red Sea), the Gulf of Suez rift, the Najd faults system, the Aqaba fault line, and northeast-southwest and east-west trending pattern. The geology and tectonics of western Saudi Arabia is dominated by the Arabian Shield, the Red Sea, and the Gulf of Aden in the west-southwest. Since the start of rifting, the Arabian plate moved northeastward from Egypt and Sudan, northward from Somalia, and rotated counterclockwise about a point in the vicinity of the Gulf of Suez. Such movement is accommodated by compression and strike-slip faulting along the Bitlis and Zagros belts, where the Arabian plate is undergoing a subduction beneath the Eurasian plate, and by strike-slip displacement along the Dead Sea transform fault. At present, the northern part of the Arabian plate moves northwestward with respect to the Eurasian plate at a rate of 20 ± 3 mm/yr.
And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. (Rev. 16:19)
8 References to ‘BE WATCHING or WATCHFUL.’ ‘8’ indicates that a new ‘era or epoch’ is arriving. Be it the rapture, the tribulation, the year of the Jews redemption or the year of the onset (2028) of the 1000 year millennial reign of Christ (2028-3028).

Matthew 25:13; Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
Mark 13:35; Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning.
Luke 21:36; Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man
Luke 12:37-39; Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
