Gave to “they can’t stop us” yesterday. The Rebel is a “Watchman”. Whats a Watchman?

We find several references in Scripture to a watcher mounting the city walls in times of stress to survey the scene outside the fortifications. He was situated on a spot from which he could monitor the approaches to the town. If a threat appeared, he would sound a warning and the town would shut its gates and prepare for battle.



You can also imagine the watcher standing vigil at other times, observing the daily life of the city. He could see much of the activity in the streets and markets. He knew the people, their work, their habits and their lifestyles. If his position was near the city gate, he could also observe the business of the city transacted by its officials.



No wonder God uses this role to illustrate the job of the prophets He sent to comment on society’s behavior, as well as to deliver messages of warning and instruction.



We need a Watchman like the Rebel to be well funded to observe and report on the violations and attempted depletions of our freedoms, rights and hard won protections of our civil society. I think my contribution was red ink in my ledger but it will always be worth it. If I were a rich man I would give 10,000 and tell Ezra to still sign off calling it “Rebel Headquarters”!

Please. Give as much as you can. We are under leftist siege.
