7.30: Pay Attention! Listen to the Watchmen on the Wall!

The city of Old San Juan in Puerto Rico is heavily fortified. Its “El Morro” Fortress dates back to 1650 when the Spanish government ordered the city to be surrounded.  The picture above is of one of its “garritas” or sentry towers where  guards were posted 24/7. Their job was to warn the fortress officers if  they saw any enemy ships approaching. I imagine they would then rally  the troops and be ready for the attack. Now, imagine if the sentry warned an officer, but the officer did  nothing and the fortress was attacked and men were killed. Whose at  fault? The officer, right? The sentry did his job. Such is the job of  the Watchman on the Wall. Back in the Old Testament days, most cities were walled cities — not  unlike Old San Juan. Watchmen were stationed on the wall and their job  was to watch out for approaching enemies and to warn the leaders and the  people that an attack would be imminent. We have this in Ezekiel  chapter 33.... Keep reading in my blog and you'll see the picture of the sentry box in "El Morro" fortress and I have a special song at the end of the blog.... If you truly want to be born again and have the assurance of salvation, receive the Holy Spirit, and get a 1-way, non-stop ticket to Heaven and that you won’t be left behind at the Rapture, this is what you have to do… Believe. Repent. Be Baptized. Receive the Holy Spirit.  Pray this prayer humbly and wholeheartedly… “Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe You died for my sins. Please forgive me. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and my life to you. I confess You as my personal Lord and Savior. I surrender my whole life to you and I will follow you for the rest of my life. Thank You, Jesus, for saving me. In Jesus' name, Amen.” Jesus Christ is coming back soon! Are you ready?
