This is a Bible Study covering what the Word says about:
WATCHING & WARNING!!!
It is not about what “I” think, that counts…
but What The Word SAYS!!
In the days of a deepening spiritual darkening in the land,
& an increasing obscuring & confusing of the Truth,
we should prevail upon ourselves to
investigate, & truly study exactly what
The Word Of God has to say about
WATCHING & WARNING!
I especially love this part of Isaiah 21:11, quoted below:
“WATCHMAN, what of the night? WATCHMAN, what of the night?”
May we always strive to walk as children of the Light!
{Jesus IS The Light!}
John 12:46
“I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me
should not abide in darkness.”
Enjoy the Bible Study!
