Watchman, What of the Night?
…“Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night? The watchman said,
“The morning comes, and also the night…
Not too many years ago I wondered which group of prophets was correct. They seem to be divided. Or are they?
One group said, “Woe! Woe! Woe! This is going to be a terrible time of famines, floods and pestilence. The evil day. Wars and rumors of wars. Persecutions. Families divided. This is Jesus' holy Word.
The other group said, “This will be the glorious day of the end time harvest. The Spirit of the Lord will be poured out on all flesh. They are coming home and coming in. The lost will come to your light and kings to the brightness of your rising”. This is also Jesus' holy Word.
Who’s right? Both! This is the day of no more gray. Light or darkness. That is your choice. We will see both. Both prophetic sides are correct.
Yes, evil is running rampant on the earth. Deception is arising, but God’s people are awakening and standing up. God is calling His people. Glory to God! The remnant army is being placed in their designated ranks and positions. The lost are coming in. We’re watching it happen. For we are watchers.
Pick your side. Choose your team. Today is the day to abandon your lukewarmness. Get off the fence. Be that candle in the darkness. Be that city on a hill. For you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood.

36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.”
37 He answered and said to them: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one. 39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels. 40 Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age. 41 The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, 42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!
