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.
Five (5) verses indicating Satan’s ‘attempt’ to devour or destroy Israel, but God supernaturally protects Israel, from Satan, for the final 3.5 years of the Great Tribulation ‘in the wilderness.’ Note; ‘Most’ scholars believe that Israel will be ‘protected’ by God in the Rock City of Petra.
Revelation 12:13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. (note; 3.5 years)
15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. (Night Watchman note; ‘the remnant’ are the 144,000 Jewish ‘evangelists’ who give testimony of Jesus Christ during the final 3.5 years. They are also supernaturally protected by ‘God’s Seal in their Foreheads.’ Satan can’t touch or harm them.
ARCHAEOLOGISTS have been stunned by the intricate and complex engineering found in and around the lost city of Petra that helped provide water to the city’s tens of thousands of inhabitants. ‘This will help sustain Israel for the final 3.5 years of the GREAT TRIBULATION.’ Once Israel witnesses the ‘Abomination of Desolation’ (likely in 2024) they will head for PETRA with God’s supernatural protection. Matthew 24:15: “Thereforewhen you see the ‘abomination of desolation,‘ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (whoever reads, let him understand) then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.”

Petra has been scrutinised by archaeologists over the decades. Once a bustling hub of politics, culture and economics, the city was one of, if not the most important ancient waypoints of the region. The area has been inhabited from as early as 7000 BC.
But it wasn’t until a people known as the Nabataeans inhabited Petra as early as the 4th century BC that the city reached its full potential.
They would make it the capital of their kingdom, and face great adversity from the surrounding powers of the time: an unsuccessful siege by the Greek Empire in 312 BC; eventually succumbing to the Romans in 106 AD.
The Roman Empire stationed itself there for hundreds of years, but in the fourth century AD a massive earthquake hit, ripping the city apart and forcing its importance to decline.
While the Byzantines attempted to reinvigorate the city by building several Christian churches, Petra continued to wane, and soon became merely a shelter for passing nomadic shepherds.
A tragic story, Petra was once home to some of the most advanced minds and societies in the world, with one key aspect of their labours explored during the Smithsonian Channel’s documentary, ‘Secrets: Riddle of Petra’.
The city’s water and drainage system was one to match the modern-day, with the documentary’s narrator noting: “It seems Petra thrived thanks to the Nabataean skill in managing the scarce resource of water.
“The Nabataean storage and irrigation system was an incredible marvel of engineering, a complex network of cisterns, dams and channels harnessing water from desert springs and its four inches of annual rainfall to maintain a year-round water supply.”
Petra is located in one of the most difficult, inhospitable regions for a city.
Carved into a narrow canyon called Al Siq, a desert landscape envelopes the buildings with temperatures often reaching 42°C (107°F) or more, with no nearby source of water.
But, at its height, Petra is believed to have housed 30,000 people with native water resources sufficient for around two to three thousand people.
Dr Christopher Tuttle, Council of American Overseas Research Centres, said: “It’s a testament to the resilience of the Nabataeans and their ingenuity that they could modify the landscape to meet their needs.”
Dr Thomas Paradise, an geoscientist from the University of Arkansas, added: “We’d be pretty hard-pressed in the 21st century to be able to create a city that was sustainable and live very well.”
The intricate system left behind by the Nabataeans begins in the hilltops, where dozens of reservoirs dotted around the landscape of the city captured and stored every drop of winter rain.
Dr Paradise explained: “[At] the highest place in the valley, we have a cistern that was able to collect water from the whole summit area.
“It was so successful in holding water that we can see how high and rich the water was that was being collected.”
Water then flowed down into the city through a massive criss-cross of channels.
Terracotta pipes are found all around that would have transported the water through Petra, with Dr Paradise noting: “They would have been covered, tubed and connected all the way down.
“These are very much like the exact same terracotta pipes we use across the planet two thousand years later.
“And we have more than a hundred miles of these channels throughout Petra where the water would have been fed into the city very slowly, stored again in a series of cisterns.
“They’re not very steeply angled, it’s a very gentle angle: if it was too steep the water would rush through too quickly and back up, and if it’s too flat the delivery of the water into the various cisterns would be too slow.”
Archaeological research has revealed that the system provided Petra with a stunning 12 million gallons of water per day.
This would have answered all of the city’s domestic and agricultural needs.
There was even enough water for a 140 foot public swimming pool in the Royal gardens, what the narrator described as an “unparalleled luxury in the middle of a desert“.
Dr Paradise said: “We’re looking at a 2,000-year-old engineering feat that is nothing short of brilliant.”
The Confirmer / Prince / Beast (now) who becomes the Antichrist (future), midway through the coming seven (7) year tribulation, in the Jews rebuilt Third (3) Temple. Six (6) verses:
Daniel 9:26-27 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Matthew 24:15: “Thereforewhen you see the ‘abomination of desolation,‘ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (whoever reads, let him understand) then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.”
Daniel 11:36 Then the king shall do according to his own will: he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, shall speak blasphemies against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the wrath has been accomplished; for what has been determined shall be done.
2 Thessalonians 2:3 “Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.”
Daniel 11:31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.
Daniel 12:11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.
Zechariah 12:2
Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah [Jews] and against Jerusalem.
Zechariah 12:3
And ‘in that day’ will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.

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.
