What’s New at the Watchman Website
| For some background information on the site design and functional changes, go here.
| December 29, 2022 | It's been a while and I've been feeling very drawn to return and clean up, continue studying and update the site. My plan is to eliminate old thoughts that I no longer hold and focus less on surrounding events for definitional pages like the great tribulation, time of Jacob's trouble, etc. Events that are related in some way will remain linked in the related button, but I will focus more on the sequence of events and my thoughts about how the definitional pages relate in the Coming Times page. |
| October 24, 2021 | I updated the Coming Times page to add a little detail to what I’ve been adding to the Fourth Kingdom page. My revisit to these pages conincided with a new multi-part series Chris White is presenting, A Bible Prophecy Timeline, on what he is looking at for the coming times, a timely release as I’ve been feeling led to revisit and update these pages and clarify some things. His work as really clarified some things for me and understanding is really starting to click in with all the pieces I’ve been trying to follow. I highly recommend his work, which is much more detailed than this site. |
| October 16, 2021 | I put together some thoughts on Dimensions of Existence, triggered partially from discussions by Stephen C. Meyer and thoughts I’ve been mulling over for years. I’ve tried to put together some information in the related topics section that is good for visual learners like me and is helpful because dimensions we can’t perceive are difficult to wrap ones head around, if even possible at this point. Some of the implications for a spiritual realm are intriguing to dwell upon and I believe starts to create a scientific link to the spiritual. From a Biblical perspective, in truth we live in a limited existence and there are things that no eye has seen nor ear heard and what we might perceive as miracles could just be dimensions we cannot perceive invading what we can. It could also explain “spiritual” experiences that people try to put into words but never quite can. Anyway, it’s not meant to be difinitive by any means on the topic, just a way to view Biblical reality, the spiritual world without having to throw out or be opposed to modern science. After all, the scientific method by definition limits itself to the dimensions we exist in so it will never be sufficient to go beyond that. For that we’ll have to wait for eternity and our incorruptible bodies. 1 Corinthians 15:50-58 |
| June 8, 2021 | I updated the Millennium page on 5/31/21 after starting to update another page... Squirrel! And further updated it today. |
| May 25, 2021 | Made some updates to the Gog and Magog page, which is pretty much done at this point. I’m also going to be working on the various Antichrist theories pages and trying to put together some kind of way to see relevant pages through the prism of the various theories. My views have changed over time, but I feel it’s important to still keep the theories in place and to understand and point out where and how they can change perspectives. The issue is that some of them are pretty big paradigm shifts and affect many different topics and change the possibilities so over time I hope to be able to devote a little more time to completing that. |
| May 2, 2021 | The past few years my
job has taken over my life and I haven't been able to spend the
time needed to continue fixing and updating the site. As I've continued
to slowly research and stew on things, I've also started seeing
a different paradigm that really changes a lot of other expectations
of what's to come and so I'm trying to think of how to present the
various perspectives I've learned and how each affects the broader
picture across the many topical pages. There's a lot of cleanup
needed and once I determine the easiest way to absorb how it's presented
I will work on updating things. I have again updated The Coming Times page to focus on my current thoughts on what to watch for related to that paradigm shift. For more detail on that, I recommend reading Chris White's book False Christ | Will the Antichrist Claim to Be the Jewish Messiah? I have also found a replacement for my audio playlist player that can be self-contained in the site in case it needs to move elsewhere. However, a lot of the files are old and may no longer be relevant, if they ever were, and were not stored with the site so aren't accessible. I've at least gotten the player working however. |

The Coming Times: This page is really always going to be a work in progress, but I’ve started updating it to eliminate some of the old information that I no longer believe is accurate and update the format a little. |

The Temple in Jerusalem: One of the first elements of future prophecy I expect to see in the future is the rebuilding of a temple in Jerusalem by the Jews. As described in Daniel’s 70 Weeks prophecy, and referred to by Christ (Matthew 24:15-28 | Mark 13:14-23) and John (Revelation 11:1-2), this is central to the first solid events of the future that the Bible spells out for us. While the Seals precede these events, there’s nothing solid like the events describing the abomination of desolation, the following time of Jacob’s trouble and that tie to Daniel 9:27 to fall back on. With the framework of exact days in prophecy, we’re given a general glimpse of the events of the 70th week, and while we’re not in darkness, we still see through a glass darkly so to speak. As such we are not in darkness, but we still won’t know the day or hour of the sudden destruction following this time or our gathering to meet the Lord in the air prior to that wrath of God. And so, the temple being the first requirement to fulfill the future prophecies and the others being somewhat vague or affected by interpretation, I look to the temple in Jerusalem as the next potential sign that must come to pass before the events of Bible prophecy quickly come to pass in succession after. |

Ezekiel 38 & 39: Following some further study prompted by Chris White’s study on Ezekiel 38 & 39, and further reading his book False Christ: Will the Antichrist Claim to be the Jewish Messiah?, I’ve changed my previous view somewhat on the timing of this series of events. I’m still open to the possibility that a false perception of fulfillment could happen leading to the rebuilding of the temple, but based on my own re-examination of scripture I side with Chris White’s view of these chapters, that they will happen after the millennium when Satan is loosed one last time. |
| July 1, 2017 | It’s been some
time since I’ve updated the web page. Part of this is purposeful
and part is life. As far as life goes, work and family became more
of a focus. I was spending much of my time focused on news and updates
and decided as part of re-focusing I was going to take a break.
During this time I decided that I was going to focus less on news
events since that is a full time job with how crazy everything is.
Instead I’m going back to basics and revisiting and expanding
my studies of other areas such as the various antichrist theories
and what events could be next on the horizon. I’m also looking
to expand on previous research with the goal of providing a cliff
notes look at history in light of prophecy and scripture with links
to more detailed studies by those much more capable than I. As such
this website is less of a news resource and more of a prophecy and
Bible study resource, which is what it started out as in the first
place. So check back to this page to see any updates to particular areas of study and I’ll try to link the various linked pages that are updated as a result. As I mentioned a couple years ago below, if there are any broken links, let me know and I’ll try to resolve them. |
| April 23, 2015 | While the website may not look that much different, the structure and content have changed somewhat. If you had a page bookmarked and now it isn’t there, it may have just been renamed or moved elsewhere. Send me a request and I’ll try to redirect you. You can see a list of changes to the website that you may or may not have noticed. |
