Ezekiel's Watchman for the World

Ezekiel's Watchman

16At the end of seven days the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 17"Son of man, I have appointed you a watchman to the house of Israel; whenever you hear a word from My mouth, warn them from Me. 18"When I say to the wicked, 'You will surely die,' and you do not warn him or speak out to warn the wicked from his wicked way that he may live, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand.…

A watchman for the world.This passage talked about being a watchman to warn our fellow man of danger. As Christians we have to warn others of the wrath to come. We must not be afraid to do so, for if we truly love our fellow men we would never want any harm to come to them.

Some people think that tolerance is the highest virtue.Meaning in a society where people don't want to hear the Word of God ,we have to leave people the way they are and do not preach them.They say that love is to accept everyone and not to correct them.That's like saying if you see your friend driving down a road that you know for certain has a huge ditch, in the name of your love for him/her you will not warn them  but will let them go in their own path lest they be offended. Well friend that is not love ,but pure hatred.

Likewise if we say that we love our brothers/sisters ,and we see them going into a path that will result in eternal destruction ,we must warn them.As Christians we must not be afraid of what society teaches, but we must stand up for the Word of God and sound the warning to our brothers and sisters.It is Satan who want us to stay silent while others perish because he hates humanity and would want all to perish.

So brothers and sisters let us not be politically correct and start sounding the warning as faithful watchmen from the Lord to a dying world.

N.S.A Spying Scandal's prophetic implications

 Revelation 13, 11-17  

And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

¹² And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

¹⁶ And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

¹⁷ And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

The revelation of by Edward Snowden of the NSA spying scandal  has huge implications for those that are awaiting the return of the Lord Jesus. The second Beast of revelation 13 coming out of the earth is the United States, which came out of a land that wasn't  densely populated as the old world.

The Bible says that the second beast spake as a dragon.Speaking in bible prophecy by a beast power represent the laws that are being made by that power. Since the attacks of 9/11/2001 the United States started making oppressive laws that are slowly taking the rights of its citizens.(USA Patriot Act)

So in order for the second beast to causeth all to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads a system of total surveillance has to be establish. Snowden's revelations has shed light on this massive system being built.In the name of security and freedom ,our rights will continue to be taken away as the Lamb like beast continues it's transformation  .

Why doesn’t God show himself?

God does show himself, but he does it in different ways with different people.  First of all, God showed himself in the person of Jesus Christ long ago.  And even then when Jesus, who was God in flesh (John 1:1, 14; Colossians 2:9), walked among people, many denied who he was.  So even though God showed himself in the person of Jesus, people wouldn't recognize who he was.

Second, and this is a bit subjective, he shows himself to Christians in ways that Christians understand.  Take, for example, how a particular Christian might have a problem with a particular sin and he has been praying about it, asking God to give him strength to resist.  Then, inexplicably he might encounter several people in a very short period of time who talk to him about that exact issue.  They may not know he has that issue, but they address it very specifically.  Is this from God?   Why wouldn't it be?  Why wouldn't God use such things as a way to reveal his work in the world?

Another way that God reveals himself to us is through the conviction of our heart.  Sometimes we might do something that is wrong, and the Lord will very clearly convict us.  We experience a certain and profound sense of anguish and guilt about our sin.  We then experience the need to confess our sins to God and/or the one against whom we have sinned.  Then, only after confession and repentance is the sensation of conviction relieved.  This is the work of God inside a person, and it is quite real.

So to conclude God always show himself to his children, he call them and they hear his voice.

Bill Gates Hates Cash. Sign of the Times?

The Better Than Cash Alliance, which was founded last September and is partially financed by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, hosted a breakfast at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland

Top five reasons, according to the alliance:

Transparency: Less corruption and theft when payments can be easily tracked. In Afghanistan, U.S. aid agencies use it so workers aren’t so vulnerable to robbery.

Security: The money gets where it’s supposed to go.

Financial inclusion: Electronic payment is a way for unbanked people to establish a record of on-time payment of their bills. This can be an “on-ramp” for them to get other services, such as loans, speakers said.

Cost savings: Moving physical cash around is costlier than zipping electrons. Many poor people, however, still find it cheaper to use cash, because some cashless networks charge high fees.

Access to new markets: This benefit is mainly for providers of financial services.

Kenya is a role model for the developing world when it comes to cashless payment. Its M-Pesa network, launched in 2007, has agents “on every block,” says Neal Keny-Guyer, chief executive of Mercy Corps, a nonprofit that’s a member of the alliance. Mauricio Cárdenas, Colombia’s minister of finance and public credit, said in an interview that he hopes within the year the national legislature will pass a law allowing nonbanks to take in cash and issue electronic vouchers.

The key is ensuring that the people who take in the cash are as well-supervised as bank tellers. “We see this as a first step,” Cárdenas said.

Could this be the beginning of an effort that will prepare total control over society?

13:16-18 The beast causes his followers to receive a “mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell” without the “mark,” or the “name,” or the “number of the name of the first beast.
