WATCH!

"You don't know the day or the hour," doesn't stand alone. It comes accompanied by a verb/action which is: "WATCH".

This is a command given by Jesus. It's not an expression of giving up; it means the total opposite - it means to give strict attention to, be cautious, and be active!

"You don't know the day or the hour" doesn't translate to passivity or indifference, like saying, "I'll wait and see what happens" or "It makes no sense to try because we'll never know." Instead, it serves as a powerful reminder to remain watchful, active, and prepared!

These are all the verses where Jesus Himself instructs us to watch: Watch!

"Watch, therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming." Mat 24:42

"But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into." Mat 24:43

"Watch, therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming." Mat 25:13

“Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming—in the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning." Mar 13:35

“And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!” Mar 13:37

“Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you." Rev 3:3

“Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.” Rev 16:15

We must remain watchful for His glorious appearing. He reiterates this message time and time again. Why?

1. It's an act of obedience: Watching is not a suggestion, it's a direct command.

2. It helps us focus our minds on Jesus.

3. It helps us to dig deeper into the word of God.

4. It helps us seek revelation.

5. It helps us pray more fervently.

6. It helps us encourage each other.

7. It helps us stick together.

8. It helps us keep walking straight.

9. It helps us feel the urgency to reach the lost.

10. It blesses us.

11. We will have a reward in heaven for it —not that we're looking for "reward", He's our ultimate "reward"!

12. We will possibly know when He's coming!!

Who wouldn't eagerly anticipate the return of their fiancé after a long military service? Wouldn't you constantly check your email, texts, and phone, checking the news, asking people, eager to know the possible date when he/she is released and you can be finally reunited and tie the knot?

Absolutely, YES!!

When the day arrives and Jesus comes, His smile will light up with joy because He will find you faithfully watching for Him, so much so that He will make you sit at His table, where He will personally serve you!

"Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching. Assuredly, I say to you that he will gird himself and have them sit down to eat, and will come and serve them."

Those who are constantly saying "nobody knows the day or the hour", are truly saying: WATCH!

Jesus rebuked the Pharisees for not watching. If they had been watchful, they would have known when Messiah would come and recognize Jesus as their Messiah —but instead— they missed Him!

‘You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times." Matthew 16:3

The watchman community is similar to weather meteorologists. They carefully examine the Word and share their observations with others, relying on studies. If a meteorologist predicts a 90% chance of rain and explains the reasons, you wouldn't get upset if it didn't rain that day.

Similarly, the watchmen's interpretations may not always align, but one day they will be correct! This is the greatest season to be watching!!

So let's watch together because that is God's desire for us to do!!!
