Apocalypse NOW!

.

Part 22:

“The Morning Cometh, And Also The Night!”

To read the first part of this topic, go here…AUGUST 3 (Apocalypse Now! Part 1: Silencing the Gospel!)

.

“Watchman, what of the night?

Watchman, what of the night? 

The watchman said,

The morning cometh,

and also the night:

if ye will enquire, enquire ye: return, come.”

Isaiah 21:11, 12 

.

.

.

One of the signs written in the Sun, Moon, and Stars is the “Night Watchman”, which God has inscribed on the face of the Moon.

.

Oh yes, for centuries, this face of a man has been commonly referred to as, “The Man in the Moon”.

.

And it has been created by God to present a very important concept! 

.

You see, the Bible speaks a number of times about “Watchmen”.

.

These were chosen and faithful men appointed to stand on the walls of the city, watching for any approaching enemy.

“WATCMAN, WHAT OF THE NIGHT?”

.

Now in the Book of Isaiah, a very cryptic prophecy was made…

“Watchman, what of the night?

Watchman, what of the night? 

The watchman said, The morning cometh,

and also the night:

if ye will enquire, enquire ye: return, come.” 

Isaiah 21:11, 12

.

So, just what in the world could this mysterious response, by that watchman in Isaiah 21:12, be all about?

“CHILDREN OF LIGHT…OF THE DAY”

.

Well, for one thing, the Bible often speaks of night as a time of spiritual darkness…“Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.” 1st Thessalonians 5:5

.

So here we have the answer to this mysterious pronouncement by the watchman!

.

The morning symbolizes the light of the Gospel of Christ while the night symbolizes the spiritual darkness which covers those who are still lost and without Jesus.

“THE DAWNING OF THE DAY”

.

Listen again…

“We have also a more sure word of prophecy;

whereunto ye do well that ye take heed,

as unto a light that shineth in a dark place,

until the day dawn,

and the day star arise in your hearts:”

2nd Peter 1:19

.

So here is revealed that the “day dawn” is speaking of a very special spiritual morning in which God’s people will be enlightened when…“the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in His wings…” (see Malachi 4:2)

.

Yes, this “dawning of the day” is a time when God’s people finally achieve victory over self.

.

It is the time when the walls of our selfishness will come tumbling down as surely as did those walls of Jericho!

“BEHOLD, THE DARKNESS SHALL COVER THE EARTH, AND GROSS DARKNESS THE PEOPLE”

Isaiah 60:2

.

But even though it is a glorious morning for God’s true worshipers, it is a time of utter darkness for those who refuse to come out of the “City of Confusion”, Babylon, the harlot church! (see Isaiah 21:8, 9)

.

Now of course, Satan has been allowed to move in and replace the true Holy Spirit which has been taken out of the midst of the church-world.

.

And this arch-deceiver has been permitted to come with “all power and signs and lying wonders,” 2nd Thessalonians 2:9.

.

“FALSE CHRISTS AND FALSE PROPHETS…SHALL DECEIVE, IF POSSIBLE, THE VERY ELECT”

Matthew 24:24

.

Yes, Satan will counterfeit the workings of God so closely, that his so-called “ministers of righteousness”, will perform, “signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.”

(see 2nd Corinthians 11:14, 15 & Mark 13:22)

.

And isn’t that what we’re seeing today? After all, aren’t the local congregations and denominations filled with happy people, many carrying their Bibles, baptized, and singing, and praising, seemingly doing everything that churchgoers should do?

.

Oh yes they are!

.

.

“FLEE OUT OF THE MIDST OF BABYLON”

Jeremiah 51:6

.

And yet, Satan’s deceptions are a very close counterfeit to the true Gospel, so close that it “will deceive if possible, even the elect” and chosen people of God.

.

But ultimately, the elect will finally wake up to the deception all around them and will finally come out to take their stand with the faithful remnant people of God.

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY!”

Proverbs 25:25

.

And that’s the Good News!

.

Yes, “God will Save His people from their sins”. Matthew 1:21 

.

And the call is now going out…“I heard another voice from Heaven, saying, Come out of her, My people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” Revelation 18:4 

.

Yes, this above verse reveals that God is now calling His people out of “Mystery Babylon, the mother of harlots”. Revelation 17:5

.

.

.

.

.

“HE THAT HATH EARS TO HEAR, LET HIM HEAR!”

Matthew 11:19, 13:19, etc…

.

And so, if the Reader has an ear to hear this message presented today, then let there be a calm and quiet exodus (based on the Bible’s knowledge, confirmation, and wisdom) out of the apostasy which now enshrouds the fallen congregations and denominations in thick darkness!

“Watchman, what of the night?

.

Watchman, what of the night?

.

The watchman said, The morning cometh,

.

and also the night:

.

if ye will inquire, inquire ye:

.

return, come.”

.

Isaiah 21:11, 12

.

.

. 

. 

Tilt your head to the left

.

Do you see a man’s face?

.

It’s that proverbial “Man in the Moon”. We’ve always taken it for granted. But now we’re learning that God is responsible for creating this Nocturnal Watchman. You see, God has etched Signs in the Moon, long ago.

.

A story? Yes. And just now He is revealing those Signs. Just now He is telling that story. 

.

God promised that His covenant with David (who represented Christ) “shall be established for ever as the Moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.” Psalm 89
