The Watchman Sounds

Posted by

When the watchman sees the enemy coming,
he sounds the alarm to warn the people.
Then if those who hear the alarm
refuse to take action,
it is their own fault if they die.
They heard the alarm but ignored it,
so the responsibility is theirs.
If they had listened to the warning,
they could have saved their lives.

God Reigns!

Why do the nations conspire
and the peoples plot in vain?
The kings of the earth rise up
and the rulers band together
against the Lord and
against His anointed, saying,

“Let us break their chains
and throw off their shackles.”
The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
the Lord scoffs at them.

Behold, He who keeps Israel

will neither slumber nor sleep.

the Lord. 
Take no part in the unfruitful works

could not shake it, because it had been well built.” 

“But the one who has heard and has not acted accordingly,
is like a man who built a house on the ground without any foundation;
and the torrent burst against it and immediately it collapsed,
and the ruin of that house was great.”

Even before there is a word on my tongue,
Behold, 
O Lord, You know it all.
You have enclosed me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.

and take every thought captive to obey Christ…

Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?
Tell me, if you understand.
Who marked off its dimensions?
Surely you know!

Who stretched a measuring line across it?
On what were its footings set,
or who laid its cornerstone

when the morning stars sang together
and
all the angels shouted for joy?”
