Watchman, What of the Night? How Much Time is Left?
Isaiah 21:11-12 Living Bible
11 This is God’s message to Edom:
Someone
from among you keeps calling, calling to me: “Watchman, what of the
night? Watchman, what of the night? How much time is left?” 12 The
watchman replies, “Your judgment day is dawning now. Turn again to God,
so that I can give you better news. Seek for him, then come and ask
again!”
The prophet Isaiah is talking about the future of Judah.
He is calling Israel back to God. God has sent His judgement using the
surrounding heathen nations.
Today many Christians cry, "How much
longer God? Maranatha. Come Lord Jesus!." The world is on a downward
spin. People are out of control. It is difficult to live in the chaos of
this world's disorder as we look around us.
We will all face the
judgment. Praise God, those who have asked God's forgiveness and
accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior do not have to stand in the Great White Throne Judgment. However, we will be judged as to how we have lived our
redeemed lives at the Judgment Seat of Christ.
How much time is left I keep asking. However,
as Isaiah proclaims I must turn again to God for better news. I must
seek for Him and be comforted each day as I keep coming and asking.
Lord
God, It can't be much time left! Help me to keep coming to You. Help me
to be a watchman calling people to seek You. May many, our friends, our
family, our neighbors, those with whom You bring us to, come to know
You as their Redeemer and avoid the coming judgment. Soften hearts, draw
them to Jesus, send laborers whose message they will receive before it
is too late. May we who believe hear You say, "Well Done." In Jesus'
name. Amen.
