When I heard the news of Hamas’ massacre of Israelis on October 7, 2023 I, like many, many other Watchmen on the Wall, was immediately directed to Psalm 83 by the Holy Spirit: O God, do not keep silent; be not quiet, O God, be not still. See how your enemies are astir, how yourContinue reading “120 Days and Counting”

October 2023: Wake Up Time
I confess to being in a holding pattern for the last year or two. From time to time something would catch my attention and I’d write a Pop Up Prophecy and have it posted to the blog, but mostly I dozed. Time to wake up. Things have taken a very sudden and very dramatic turn.Continue reading “October 2023: Wake Up Time”
Red Heifers Bring The Third Temple Ever Closer
Something pretty important happened a couple of weeks ago. Five red heifers were flown from ranches in Texas to Israel. Why is that important? Since it is necessary for there to be a Temple in Jerusalem during the Tribulation (Revelation 11) it is, therefore, also necessary to have a red heifer. According to Numbers ChapterContinue reading “Red Heifers Bring The Third Temple Ever Closer”
Strange Bedfellows
“Politics may make strange bedfellows but economic crises make even stranger ones.” Collinsdictionary.com as quoted from Tmes, Sunday Times Let’s talk about geopolitical alliances, that is countries who have agreed with one or more other countries to work together for mutual benefit, usually military or economic.

Gog-Magog War
Last time we looked at the Psalm 83 war which, if prophecy scholars are correct, could happen at pretty much any time now, given the more-than-usual hostility of the terrorist factions in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria. Another war predicted in the Bible also falls in the Watchmen on the Wall’s Why Now end times’ columnContinue reading “Gog-Magog War”
Plays Well With Others
On Thursday, August 13, 2020, history was made and pretty much down played or ignored. President Trump of the United States, Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel and Mohamed bin Zayed crown prince of Abu Dhabi and current head of the United Arab Emirates announced that Israel and the UAE would be normalizing relationships. Why doesContinue reading “Plays Well With Others”

Birth of A Nation
To the victors go the spoils was never more true than following World War 1. In fact, the spoils were divided up well before the outcome of WW1 was even known. In a secret meeting held in 1916, Great Britain and France met and forged the Sykes-Picot Agreement dividing up the then Ottoman Empire (whatContinue reading “Birth of A Nation”
The Beginnings of Modern Israel
How, after 1800 years of the disbursement of Jews all over the world, did that re-birth come to be? The short answer, of course, is God willed it. Pretty much nothing happened in the land formerly known as Israel until about 1850. Authors Herman Melville (Moby Dick) in 1857 and Mark Twain (Tom Sawyer) inContinue reading “The Beginnings of Modern Israel”
Israel, My Beloved
Long before ‘putting pen to paper’ I am thinking about the next blog topics and seeking God’s direction. I knew that I was supposed to continue writing about Israel but wasn’t sure what, specifically, to address. “What should I say in the next Israel blog?” I inquired of the Lord. “Israel, My beloved” was theContinue reading “Israel, My Beloved”
