20/20 Vision for this Last Hour
— “I have set thee (watchman Jeremiah and all the LORD’s disciples today) for a tower and a fortress among my people, that thou mayest know (discern) and try (test against the Word) their way.” Jeremiah 6:27
Note that it’s God Himself who sets watchmen in place – on their post. He gave them their duty. They do not call themselves but rather only answer His calling obediently, counting their own lives but dung to know Him and make His will known.
When His disciples test the ways of the modern church, they uncover and expose these wicked, deceitful, and subversive ways.
Perhaps the “tower” He mentions here in Jeremiah 6:27 is significant of the height of perspective – God’s view of things. His watchmen are before Him night and day and imbued with His view and perspective of things as opposed to the way His polarizing enemies are projecting, distorting, whitewashing, and positioning things for their own self-serving agenda (Philippians 3:17-21). In contrast, our LORD’s true watchmen are known by their refusal to count their own lives dear unto themselves:
“Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me. 24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God. 25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more. 26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. 27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God. 28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. 29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. 31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. 32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.” Acts 20:23-32
Like this apostle whose words we just read, the LORD’s true watchmen are possessed by a deep anguish of soul concerning the many wolves who have entered in among the LORD’s blood-bought flock to speak perverse things and draw away His sheep to destruction using manipulations and false teachings.
Listen to HIS watchmen beloved because the Holy Spirit is speaking through them and they will be known by their adherence and preaching of His full counsel – repentance from all sin, the essential of personal holiness, the soon return of Christ for His spotless Bride, warning to beware of false teachers wearing sheep’s clothing, denial of self, the daily cross – death to the self-life, walking in the holy fear of God, getting your house in order in all aspects as His steward who will give account, etc. Jesus says: “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.” (Revelation 2:7)
20/20 Vision
Christ’s true called-out shepherds take heed to the complete counsel of His Word.
“And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house.” Acts 20:20
If we will listen to the WORD they preach, we “shall … prosper” because it’s God’s very Word and they are simply putting voice to it and pointing to it.
“Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem (all of the LORD’s true people); Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets (seers, watchmen), so shall ye prosper.” 2 Chronicles 20:20
Here our LORD is calling us to trust Him and to listen to HIS Word spoken by those He is sending to us. The only way for you to personally “prosper” from Christ’s end times watchmen is to read and be circumcised by the Words of God (John 15:3; 17:17; Ephesians 5:25-25, etc.). You can never know who His true watchmen unless you are studying His Word diligently and daily. Otherwise you will be snared and destroyed by the false watchmen who are also on the scene.
Hearken to the voice of the LORD’s which is being preached by His final hour, remnant watchmen.
Christ’s true watchmen elevate only HIM. They know and serve our God and are reading and preaching only from His Word (2 Timothy 4:2-4). They uphold His written Word as final divine authority for all matters of faith and practice of following Jesus and violently expose those counterfeits who pretend to represent Christ while misrepresenting Him (2 Corinthians 11:12-15).
—- HAVE YOU observed that our LORD truly is raising up a remnant of diligent followers who are taking their posts! They are blowing the trumpet in Zion, identifying His enemies and their lies, sounding the alarm of His soon coming and the coming of His great judgments upon this earth (Joel 2-3, etc.). They refuse to limit their ministry to a physical building. The LORD’s whole world is their venue to reach souls for Him (Psalms 2:8; 24:1, etc.). Though highly esteemed by their Commander in Chief, they are considered and branded by the wicked as the very “offscouring” (utter refuse/garbage) of the earth by some (1 Corinthians 4:13; 2 Corinthians 6:4-10). This is a vital part of the proof of their authenticity (Luke 6:26). They have no wooden pulpit. They refuse to limit themselves or work to build their own reputations or earthly kingdom (Philippians 2:3-10). They serve One and that’s the nail scarred risen LORD! They fear One! They walk in the holy fear of God, consumed with His Word and Spirit. Read of one such disciple in Acts 20:20-32. They fear no mere man. They fearlessly warn and dramatically explode the false teachings and traditions of the Ichabod, apostate modern church world. Christ’s people are on a tare, sprinting to the finish line (2 Timothy 4:7; Hebrews 12:1-4, etc.).
Have you been of late observing the rise of these watchmen? Which one or more of them are you lifting in prayer daily and supporting beloved? Their platform to communicate to the masses is largely done via technology.
Read Jeremiah 5-7.
