One in Messiah Congregation
I have made thee a watchman
Ezek.3[
17] Son of man,
I
have made thee a watchman unto the house of
Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and
give them warning from me.[
18] When I say unto the wicked,
Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn
the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall
die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.[
19] Yet if thou warn the wicked, and
he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his
iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.[20
] Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness,
and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because
thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness
which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at
thine hand.[21] Nevertheless
if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not
sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy
soul.
If you are not
"Watching and Warning"
the Lord will come on you as a thief!!
Rev.3[
2] Be
watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that
are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. [
3] Remember therefore how thou
hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent.
If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will
come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what
hour I will come upon thee.
1Thes.5[1
] But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have
no need that I write unto you.[2
] For yourselves know perfectly that the
day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.[
3] For when they shall say,
Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon
a woman with child; and they shall not escape.[4] But
ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
[5] Ye are all
the children of light, and the children of the day:
we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
[6] Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us
watch
and be sober.[7
] For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that
be drunken are drunken in the night.[8] But let us,
who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate
of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.[
9] For God hath not appointed us to
wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,[
10] Who died for us, that, whether
we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.[
11] Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify
one another, even as also ye do.
1Thes.5[
14] Now we exhort you, brethren,
warn them that are unruly
, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient
toward all men.
2Pet.3[
10] But
the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night
; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great
noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the
works that are therein shall be burned up.
Rev.3[
3] Remember therefore how thou
hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt
not watch, I will come on thee as a thief
, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
Rev.16[
15] Behold,
I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth,
and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they
see his shame.
Matt.24[
42]
Watch therefore:
for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. [
43] But know this, that if the
goodman of the house had known in what watch
the thief would come, he would have
watched, and would not have suffered
his house to be broken up.[44
] Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think
not the Son of man cometh.[45
] Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath
made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?[
46] Blessed is that servant, whom his
lord when he cometh shall find so doing.[47
] Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over
all his goods.[48] But and if
that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;[
49] And shall begin to smite
his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;[
50] The lord of that servant shall
come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware
of,[51] And shall cut him asunder,
and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth.
Matt.25
[13] Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the
Son of man cometh.
Mark.13[
33] Take ye heed,
watch and pray: for ye know not when
the time is. [34] For the Son
of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority
to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to
watch.[
35] Watch
ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the
house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
[36] Lest coming suddenly he
find you sleeping.[37] And what I say unto you I say
unto all, Watch.
Luke.12[
35] Let your loins be girded
about, and your lights burning;[36
] And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when
he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may
open unto him immediately.[37
] Blessed are those servants, whom the
lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say
unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and
will come forth and serve them.
Luke.21[
34] And take heed to yourselves,
lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness,
and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.[
35] For as a
snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth
.[36
]
Watch ye therefore, and pray always
, that ye may be accounted worthy
to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the
Son of man.
1Cor.16[
13]
Watch ye, stand fast in
the faith, quit you like men
, ( be brave ) be strong.
Eph.5[
8] For
ye were sometimes darkness
, but now are ye light in the Lord
: walk as children of
light:
Eph.6[
18] Praying always with all
prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and
watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication
for all saints;
Col.4[
2] Continue in prayer, and
watch in the same with thanksgiving
;
2Tim.4[
5] But
watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do
the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
Heb.13[
17] Obey them that have the
rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch
for your souls, as they that must give account, that
they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
1Pet.4[
7] But the end of all things
is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and
watch unto prayer.
Rev.16[
15] Behold, I come as a thief.
Blessed is he that watcheth
, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his
shame.
Acts.20[
31] Therefore
watch, and remember, that by the space of three years
I ceased not to warn
every one night and day with tears
.
1Cor.4[
14] I write not these things
to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.
2Cor.5[
11] Knowing
therefore the terror of the Lord
, we persuade men;
Col.1[
21] And you, that were sometime
alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled[
22] In the body of his flesh
through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his
sight:[23] If ye continue in
the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the
gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which
is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;[
24] Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and
fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his
body's sake, which is the church:[25
] Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation
of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;[
26] Even the mystery which hath been
hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:[
27] To whom God would make known
what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is
Christ in you, the hope of glory:[28
] Whom we preach, warning every man, and
teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present
every man perfect in Messiah / Yeshua - Christ Jesus:[
29] Whereunto I also labour, striving
according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
Shalom -
[38] And if he shall come in
the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are
those servants.[39] And this
know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would
come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
[40] Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man
cometh at an hour when ye think not.
