Psalms 102:7 = I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.
Habakkuk 2:1 = I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.
In the Old Testament of the Holy Bible of Christianity, even those who were in the Old Covenant had the understanding of needing to WATCH. Usually it was about those who watched for physical enemies that the Jewish Nation of Israel always had to be aware of for their own existence. Jesus Christ, as Messiah to Messianic Jews and Savior to Christians, gave the New Covenant and that call was given to His followers also in the spiritual realm. As we approach times that are seeing what seems to be more prophecies being fulfilled then we need to take the responsibilities as believers in Jesus Christ seriously. Whether Messianic Jews or Christians, we need to follow what the New Testament told followers of Christ to do NOW.
Matthew 24:42-43 = Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. 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.
Matthew 25:13 = Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
Matthew 26:41 = Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Those who claim to be believers in Salvation through the Blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ as Savior and Son of God Almighty our Creator, are YOU watching NOW? In the time of Apostle Matthew after Jesus Christ rose then ascended back to Heaven, believers in Him were already WATCHING for Jesus Christ to return in their own time. That was over two thousand years ago, and Christ believers have been told to keep WATCHING during all of this time. Can it feel like an endless and sometimes useless occupation while our world is going through some of the greatest catastrophes known to mankind? It might seem so if you don’t keep reading what the Word of God says about this in more than one book and in the New Testament directly to Christians then and now.
Mark 13:33-40 = Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. 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. 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: Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
As believers in Jesus Christ and what He did for us, we have become His porters commanded to WATCH. Are you seeing the signs in this world? Are you searching the Holy Bible prophecy scriptures to see them line up with the news? Are you WATCHING? This is important for us to gain a solid understanding about this. If we are the Bride of Christ He promised to return to take away before the Great Tribulation begins then why wouldn’t we be continually studying, praying, reading, witnessing, and WATCHING? Jesus Christ was very adamant about what happened with the ten foolish virgins. I want to be found as a wise virgin when Jesus returns in the skies like He promised He would! Could I die before that happens? Yes, but probably not if things keep lining up in 2021.
Luke 12:37-40 = 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. And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. 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. Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not. Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
We are supposed to be the servants of Jesus Christ by choice like Jesus Himself washed the feet of His Apostles as a lesson to them to not think more of themselves or their calling than their SAVIOR did. Believers likened to servants is to show that we’re NOT to be walled into a stone mausoleum of a church with our riches while sinners are forgotten and left to die in their sins and go to Hell. We are to be vigilant in seeing the signs foretold of in the Bible as the Last Days and raise a WARNING to believers and non-believers, not to cause a fearful religious experience or massive social panic, but to teach those willing to see the Truth of what must be accomplished to keep the WATCH so believers can see more Salvations of the lost. That should be the focus!
Matthew 25:1-13 = Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
1Thessalonians 5:6 = Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
2Timothy 4:5 = But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
1Peter 4:7 = But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
Revelation 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.
How many people who claim to be believers in Christ are without oil, don’t have their lamp wick trimmed, and basically aren’t caring if Jesus Christ returns or not? How many are asleep right now and refuse to wake up even if it would mean they would see loved ones left behind WHEN (NOT IF) the Rapture (taking away or calling away) of the believers in Christ occurs? How many can’t seem to be sober (nor serious) about anything concerning the possibility they could lose their family’s immortal souls by not doing what Jesus Christ called us to do and His Apostles also directed us to do? This is NOT A GAME. This is the REALITY of the time in 2021. WAKE UP, BELIEVERS IN CHRIST! ARE YOU NOW WATCHING?
