“Unless the LORD builds the house,
They labor in vain who build it;
Unless the LORD guards the city,
The watchman stays awake in vain.”
Psalm 127:1 NKJV
Every watchman has an onus to carry. If they fail to sound the alarm when judgment is coming, they are accountable for those who perish when they fail to warn people as seen in Ezekiel 33:6,
“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.’”
However, the preceding verses in the passage puts the accountability on the individuals being warned,
“Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2 “Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and say to them: ‘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.“
Ezekiel 33:1-5 NKJV
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. – If you’ve been hearing and already know that the world is being transitioned to a time that is unequaled, wouldn’t you already prepare for it? I’m not talking doomsday prepper bunker preparations kind of stuff because even preparing in this way does not guarantee that one will escape the wrath to come. Make a decision on truly giving your life to Jesus Christ.
“For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”
John 3:17 NKJV
If this is an unacceptable option for you at the moment, delaying this decision until the coming tribulation is a grave mistake since if you think deception is bad right now, imagine how much worse it will be during that time. It would be so bad it would take angels to preach the gospel and this coupled with the fact that the world is going to be so wicked and it will be such a time that is hard to trust anyone.
It is vain for you to rise up early,
To sit up late,
To eat the bread of sorrows;
For so He gives His beloved sleep.
Psalm 127:2 NKJV
If you happen to have a peaceful sleep when things are chaotic, consider yourself blessed! It is from the Lord. When a storm arose, Jesus was sleeping peacefully, while the disciples panicked (Mark 4:35-41). He rebuked them for being fearful especially with Him being with them! If you are a genuine follower of Jesus Christ, His Holy Spirit is in you.
A word of caution– doubting His Word is a very serious thing. You can pray and ask all the spiritual people of the world to pray with you all day, month and year long with the Ecumenical Movement, but one thing is sure,
“One who turns away his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer is an abomination.”
Proverbs 28:9 NKJV
“You are My witnesses,” says the Lord,
“And My servant whom I have chosen,
That you may know and believe Me,
And understand that I am He.
Before Me there was no God formed,
Nor shall there be after Me.
11 I, even I, am the Lord,
And besides Me there is no savior.
12 I have declared and saved,
I have proclaimed,
And there was no foreign god among you;
Therefore you are My witnesses,”
Says the Lord, “that I am God.
13 Indeed before the day was, I am He;
And there is no one who can deliver out of My hand;
I work, and who will reverse it?””
Isaiah 43:10-13 NKJV
