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.”

Bird flu on our doorstep: Six (6) farms shut down as ‘highly contagious’ strain hits France
SIX NEW outbreaks of the bird flu have been detected in duck farms in France, according to the nation’s chamber of agriculture.
By ALEKS PHILLIPS 18:05, Wed, Dec 29, 2021 | UPDATED: 18:05, Wed, Dec 29, 2021 Express.co.uk
The “highly contagious” H5N1 virus was detected in the Landes region, in the south-west of France, near the border with Spain. Yesterday (Tuesday), the UK Government said that it had identified the avian influenza in commercial poultry in Lincolnshire and Norfolk.
The new discoveries in Landes bring the total number of affected farms in the district to seven (7), according to French media.
Five (5) of them are said to be located in Mant and one in Castelner – regions bordering the Atlantic Pyrenees.
Another outbreak of the bird flu was confirmed on Friday in nearby Malaussanne.
Marie-Hélène Cazaubon, president of the Landes Chamber of Agriculture, reportedly said all the ducks on these farms “sheltered indoors since the beginning of their rearing”.
They were slaughtered as soon as the first suspected cases appeared on Friday.
Ms Cauzaubon, herself a duck farmer, added: “Having animals under cover does not prevent the introduction of the virus [into the farms] but reduces its spread.
“We must be very vigilant, but also remain confident, because we are not in the same situation as the previous crisis.”
A control zone has since been put in place in 34 parts of the region, including a 3km protection zone and a 10km surveillance zone around the outbreaks.
The first case in the Landes region was confirmed on December 19 in Hastingues.
It followed reports of outbreaks in neighbouring regions.
The outbreaks were said to have been caused by migratory birds coming into contact with poultry stock.
The virus was first identified on November 26 in Warhem, near Dunkirk in northern France.
According to the UK Government, as of December 28 the H5N1 virus had been identified in poultry near Watlington, Kings Lynn and West Norfolk, as well as North Somercotes, Lincolnshire.
It noted that all birds on the infected premises would be humanely culled.
There are currently 57 cases of avian influenza in England
There was also one case in Wales, and two cases in Scotland.
According to the UK Health Security Agency says that avian influenza is primarily a disease affecting birds.
As such, the risk to the health of members of the general public is “very low”.
The Food Standards Agency has said that based on the current scientific evidence, bird flu also poses a very low food safety risk for consumers.
Properly cooked poultry and poultry products, including eggs, are said to be safe to eat.
