Ezekiel 33:2-6
“”When I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take a man from their territory and make him their watchman,
3, when he sees the sword coming upon the land, if he blows the trumpet and warns the people,
4, then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and does not take warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood shall be on his own head.
5, He heard the sound of the trumpet, but did not take warning; his blood shall be upon himself. But he who takes warning will save his life.
6, But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at the watchman”s hand.” (Ezekiel 33:2-6)
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Pastor Mike Taylor;
Each of us are watchmen on the wall. If you stand behind a pulpit or preach to a congregation in whatever media you use, you have a responsibility to warn those who are in danger of hell fire and all that it represents. God does not send anyone to hell, as it is a decision that each of us must make, but the Word of God must start with men and women who are commissioned by God to take the Word of Truth to those who are in their sins.
Whether a minister believes he is a watchman or not, he is commissioned by God to spread the Gospel to the lost. He is to preach the penalty of sin. He is to abandon a feel good “gospel”, prosperity gospel, or a social speech of humanism and being just a “good citizen”. This won’t save anyone. It will not warn those who are walking the wide road and gate to destruction, but will only placate them that they are OK…they are not OK, as they do not have Jesus in their hearts. It is a minister’s job to take the message of salvation to his congregation, his community and the rest of the world.

Prepping for ‘Mr. Fix-It’
Society is being prepped for the Antichrist, and as prophecy-loving believers try to warn, the words are falling on a lot of deaf ears.
The stage is being set for a closing act. The players are getting into their proper positions. Heads of state are meeting to plot and scheme and deny even more rights. In places like Australia, Lithuania, and Austria, good people are enemies of the state even though they are upstanding citizens.
World leaders have no comprehension they are majoring in minors. To them, it makes perfect sense to obsess over carbon emissions. During the Tribulation, this will fade from their memories as they cope with Seals and Trumpets and Bowls. These will spark “climate change” they cannot imagine!
Most receiving this newsletter are “watchmen.” Ezekiel 33 tells us that if you don’t warn, the blood is on your hands, so you cannot be silent.
Brace yourself to be shocked daily by things you read and watch. Satan is getting more active, and wickedness is rising, so God’s people must shine more brightly.
But for the believer, a glorious event will happen soon. It is known as the Rapture of the Church. It is any day. Any hour. Any minute. So don’t grow weary!
And yes, if a believer is a Rapture skeptic, they get the surprise of their life someday soon. Then you’ll have the privilege of saying, “I told you so.”
Won’t that be a glorious day?
Pastor Greg Laurie; Harvest Ministries
“God promises this in the book of Revelation, and He also gives us a promise of global peace. The Antichrist, however, will bring pseudo peace. During the first three-and-a-half years of the seven-year Tribulation, he will come across as a good guy. But in reality, he will be a bad guy. And the Scriptures say that he will use peace to deceive many. Ultimately, once Antichrist is taken out of the way, God will bring global peace.”

WHO is the Abraham Accords ‘Confirmer,’ the BEAST, the Eighth (8th) King, the ‘ONE-WORLD GOVERNMENT LEADER’, the FIRST RIDER OF THE APOCALYPSE who goes to Perdition (Utter Destruction), The LAST CEASAR, PHARAOH or ANTICHRIST?
Revelation 13:2-4
And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon [Satan, Allah, Prince of the Power of the Air] which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast [Antichrist, Man-by-Satan ‘MbS’], saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? (Emphasis mine. Discernment mine.)
Five (5) references to ‘beast.’ 5 denotes satanic influence over evil men.
Jesus Identified the Sign of the Antichrist: He is NOT Macron, Biden, Obama, Trump, Putin, Jinping, Gates, Pope Francis or Klaus Schwab. The ‘Beast’ has been identified NOW, and his role changes to the Antichrist 3.5 years into the Tribulation.
Revelation 17:8-11 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
‘Seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.’ = NEOM Babylon sits on the seven (7) tallest mountains in the Midian Mountain range in the Tabuk region of Saudi Arabia. Tallest mountain is Mount Sinai. These mountains are scarlet and purple colored due to volcanic origin and related minerals deposited in rock. NEOM is a $500 (5) billion technological/hedonistic paradise. No mention or acceptance of Christ.
The seven and eight kings are in reference to the genetic lineage (bottomless pit of evil) of the House of Saud. These are ALL the modern kings since the foundation of modern Saudi Arabia.
Future, Real, during the ‘7 Year Tribulation’;
Revelation; Chapter SIX (6), the ‘start’ of the Tribulation when Christ, the Lamb, opens the first seven (7) SEALS of wrath or judgement against evil man’kind (6).
The following is my discernment and teaching. The Apocalypse is a ‘REVEALING’ or showing what is coming. Chapter six is a 70,000 foot view or general recap of the coming seven (7) year tribulation. It starts off with the revealing of the Beast or Antichrist and ends with the Armageddon battle on the Day or our Lord’s Return to Earth, to ‘rule the nations with an iron rod.’
6 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
(Commentary; Christ, the Lamb was the ONLY ONE WORTHY in heaven, to have the authority to ‘open’ the seals and start the tribulation)
2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
Commentary; the rider is the ‘beast’ or ‘antichrist’. His being clothed in white suggests false righteousness, false peace and false authority. He has a bow, but no arrows. He rules with lies and threats, but no military or arms. He conquers and subjugates, not with force but with lies, deception, false covenants and false agreements. He is the world’s greatest ‘political’ leader and deceiver. He is the one who ‘confirms the false covenant of seven years with Jacob’ which starts the tribulation. You should know now of who I speak. His ‘crown’ represents authority, rulership and position. It even literally represents his ‘position’ as Crown Prince, once the tribulation begins. My discernment is that the ‘white horse upon which he sits’ is symbolically a white Arabian stallion.
COVID-19 dominates 2021 at the Vatican. ‘And the False Prophet, Pope or Pontiff WILL DECEIVE THEM ALL.’
By Inés San Martín Dec 28, 2021|Rome Bureau Chief
ROSARIO, Argentina – Though technically different calendar years, history might be tempted to lump 2020 and 2021 together, since many of the challenges that began early last year are still ongoing, particularly when it comes to the COVID-19 pandemic. The “novel” coronavirus was still front and center during most of 2021.
Papal traveling
All three of Pope Francis trips abroad in 2021 were marked by the pandemic, but few as much as the one to Iraq in March. A historic first for many reasons – first papal trip ever to Iraq and the first trip outside of Italy Francis took since the country first went into lockdown in March of 2020 – much of the hype surrounding it had more to do with the dangers of crowded events than with the actual reason for the trip: showing support to a Christian community victim of genocide in the hands of ISIS.
During the four-day trip to Iraq, Francis met with officials, religious leaders and ordinary Iraqis of all faiths. He went to Najaf where he visited Grand Ayatollah al-Sistani, the spiritual leader of Iraq’s Shia community, a milestone when it comes to interfaith dialogue (NWN; aka ‘Mystery Religion of Babylon). He also visited the ancient city of Ur, city of Abraham; Erbil, the capital of Iraq’s Kurdistan region; and Mosul, where he prayed at the ruins of four churches destroyed by the Islamic terrorist group.
The pope’s visit to Iraq offered moral support to Iraq’s beleaguered and dwindling Christian community. Yet its future does not depend on the papal visit, but the country’s leadership and the success of state-building in the country, which held elections in October.
Francis not only visited Iraq this year, but also welcomed the country’s leadership in the Vatican to further encourage them into protecting the many minorities living in the country. While much can be done to ensure the safety of minority communities, it has to be recognized that their plight has much to do with instability linked to Iraq’s century-long state formation process and persistent foreign interference.
For a man who said he had felt “caged” inside the Vatican ever since the onset of the pandemic, the trip to Iraq provided a much needed breather. However, while Francis and his entire entourage, including journalists, had been vaccinated, in early March Iraq was gripped by a second wave with a record of over 5,000 (5 )new cases a day, prompting authorities to impose full lockdowns during the visit.
Similarly, during his visits to Budapest and Slovakia in September, and then to Cyprus and Greece in December, the pandemic also restricted crowds and the movement of pilgrims.
Vaccines
The Vatican’s stance on the COVID-19 vaccine technically falls under 2020, since in Dec. of last year, as vaccination campaigns were still on the verge of being a reality, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith released a statement offering a series of considerations. Focused on the vaccines against COVID-19 developed from cell lines derived from tissues obtained from two aborted fetuses, it concluded that when ethically irreproachable vaccines are not available, it is acceptable to receive those that have used the problematic cell lines in their research and production process.
But it also stated that vaccination cannot be mandatory. However, since then, the Holy See has hardened its position, at least when its own employees, who must be vaccinated in order to continue working. Visitors have to show either a vaccination certificate or a negative COVID-19 test. Three members of the Swiss Guard had to quit after they refused to get vaccinated.
Francis has been a strong advocate for a just and equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccines throughout the world, especially to those most in need, and has described vaccination “an act of love.”
False Prophet (The WORLD’S Greatest Social ‘Influencer’). ‘Go ahead, get the jab, it is good for you, it is good for humanity, it is the ‘moral’ thing to do.’
Revelation 13:16-17 And he [false prophet, pope, pontiff] causeth ALL, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a [‘subdermal, infrared, vaccination, smart’] mark IN their right hand, or IN their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the [‘subdermal, infrared, vaccination, smart’] mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. (Emphasis mine. Discernment mine.)
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he [false prophet, pope, pontiff] DECEIVED THEM that had received the [‘subdermal, infrared, vaccination, smart’] mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. (Emphasis mine. Discernment mine.)
And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Though some have reduced the pro-vaccine and the anti-vaxxer division to a liberal vs. conservative fight, there have been many prominent conservatives who have spoken up in favor, or who have led by example, including Pope emeritus Benedict XVI, who has received all three doses.
Furthermore, on Sept. 24, the leader of the traditionalist Society of St. Pius X surprised many by saying that getting vaccinated against the coronavirus “may sometimes be an eminently prudent act in the moral sense of the term,” while denouncing the promotion of coercive measures in favor of the vaccine as an “abuse of power.”
Lives lost
With a global death toll due to COVID-19 surpassing five (5) million people, the Church was not immune. Setting aside the number of lay faithful, who are impossible to count, hundreds of religious, priests, bishops and cardinals lost their battle against the virus, while some were able to fight it off.
Among those who survive hospitalization are Nicaraguan Cardinal Leopoldo Brenes, and American Cardinal Raymond Burke, who was on a ventilator for over a week.
After a month long battle with COVID-19, Venezuelan Cardinal Jorge Urosa Savino, who led the Archdiocese of Caracas for 13 years, died at the age of 79, in September. Days later, Brazilian Cardinal Jose Freire Falcão, who led the Archdiocese of Brasilia for 20 years, died at the age of 95, nearly a week after he was diagnosed with COVID-19.
Archbishop Aldo Giordano, appointed earlier this year as papal representative to the European Union, died Dec. 2 in Leuven, Belgium, where he had been hospitalized for COVID-19.
A week in January was arguably the deadliest for the Catholic episcopacy, with ten bishops dying in the week of Jan. 8-14 after testing positive with the coronavirus.
In India, arguably the deadliest week for the clergy came in the summer, with at least 129 nuns and 117 priests dying after testing positive of COVID in the 33 days between 10 April and May 14, 2021. Jesuit Father Stan Swami, a human rights activist who had been imprisoned in 2020, died of COVID-19, after a week on a ventilator, in July.
In the United States, where more than 800,000 people have died from COVID-19, dozens of nuns who lived in congregate settings across the country, from upstate New York to Milwaukee and Detroit suburbs and beyond, lost their lives to the virus. Many of them were older retirees who dedicated their lives to teaching or nursing.
One order alone, the Felician Sisters, lost 21 nuns at four convents. Homes for elderly sisters were particularly hit worldwide, including in Brazil, where five nuns died in one week at a convent.
The list, though in no way comprehensive, serves to illustrate the impact the pandemic has had among the Catholic clergy. Italy was one of the worst hot spots early on in the pandemic, and through March of this year, 292 mostly older diocesan priests died of the virus.
Clerical sexual abuse (NWN; aka ‘Wolves in Shepard’s Clothing’)
When it comes to addressing the clerical abuse crisis, there have been ups and downs this calendar year. On the one hand, many formation seminars were held online allowing thousands to participate, while preventing much of the networking that usually takes place during the coffee breaks.
On the other hand, several reports by independent commissions were released, including in Germany and in France. With an increased global awareness of the problem, now going well beyond English speaking countries, the bishops’ conferences of Portugal and Spain have promised their own independent investigation into cases of abuse.
When it comes to transparency, however, the scales remain uneven, since there are still many question left unanswered, including the true reasons behind the removal of many bishops from their positions and ongoing though seemingly stalled trials against others, including Bishop Gustavo Zanchetta, of Argentina, one of Pope Francis first episcopal appointments. Many prelates are being investigated for either abuse or cover-up, including at least a dozen in Mexico.
Arguably, the one exception to the rule on all-things-transparency on clerical sexual abuse this 2021 was Poland, where ten (5+5) bishops got the boot, and the papal representative in the country publicly acknowledged the reasons why in each of the cases related to abuse. It is worth pointing out, however, that this transparency came after decades of cover up. Also worth highlighting is the stark contrast between Poland and what happened in Chile in 2018, when Francis accepted the resignation of a third of the bishops in the country, all of them suspected of mishandling the situation, but no explanations were given for their removal, prompting some of the prelates to claim they were outed because they had reached the mandatory resignation age.
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 24:42; Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
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.

. . . “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.” (Romans 5:8-10).
. . . “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23).
. . . “Jesus saith unto them, I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6).

Romans 12:19. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
1 Thessalonians 1:10. And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
1 Thessalonians 5:9. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
