From the Watchtower
Are YOU a watchman on the watchtower of Scripture given by God?
Does your Shepherd preach TRUE Scripture without distortion?
Note from Doctrine of the Bible: Some contemporary ‘translations’ of the Bible are *biased against true Scripture and do NOT actually translate Scripture from the original Hebrew and Greek. *Examples of Anti-Trinitarian bias of the NWT (New World Translation) of the Jehovah Witnesses cult
(Don’t be misled by that Watchtower of the cult which denies Christ Jesus by twos and distorts Scripture.)
Is your Pastor a Gatekeeper of Scripture?
Scripture reveals TRUE identity of the approaching enemy as well as the True Shepherd and faithful shepherds of the sheep of the Lord.
The Gatekeeper Determines: ‘Who may enter the gate?’
Speaking of gates.. (see yesterday’s post) .. Last year in 2020 I wrote mostly from John’s Gospel. And from the scene of Jerusalem we took a look at gates and watchtowers. Today our examples teach from both Old Testament & New Testament Scripture. Apply the imagery of these gatekeepers and watchtowers to your church.
IF ANY may enter, expect wolves to be hidden among the flock which claims to be ‘the Lord’s.
It was common practice of the people, including shepherds leading sheep for the slaughter of the sacrifice, to travel here from far away hills and trade within Jerusalem’s walls. Then they worshiped within the courts of their Temple, surrounded by walls of watchmen.
The gatekeeper is much more than a ticket taker, so to speak, a man of authority.
from “The Gatekeeper & the Shepherds – Part 1
Scriptures
2 Samuel 18-19
“This one also is bringing good news.”
So it appears, but is he?
Ezra 1:2
Hebrews 3
Nehemiah 2,4,11 (excerpts)
1 Chronicles 9
Isaiah 60
His watchmen are blind,
All of them know nothing.
All of them are mute dogs unable to bark,
Dreamers lying down, who love to slumber;
And the dogs are greedy, they are not satisfied.
And they are shepherds who have no understanding;
They have all turned to their own way,
Isaiah 56:10-11a NASB
