Watchman – Declare What You See!

WHO COMPARES TO JESUS

Well, all true believers in Jesus Christ should be quick to state – NO ONE!  Yet, there is at least one person in our day who is making that very comparison based upon the backgrounds, experiences, and lives of both Jesus and the “other one” listed in the comparison.  In case you think this is just some “kook” without any formal education, training, or knowledge of who the real Jesus was and is, think again.  He is a “law school graduate” who hosts a radio program out of Atlanta, Georgia.  Here’s a partial summary of what he stated:

“Christ did not attend the rabbinical schools of his day, and Reagan did not graduate from Ivy League schools like most U.S. presidents.  Reagan, like Christ was a suffering servant, the despised and forgotten (political) prophet.  Both men endured constant humiliation, contempt and perversion of their ideas to this day as many antichrists and antireagans abound – yet both are ultimately vindicated because they loved the truth and gave love, liberty and truth to the world.”

It seems that all that remains is for the Catholic Church to make Reagan a “Saint”, which seems to be the destination for Pope John Paul II.

WHAT WOULD JESUS DO

I’m sure that everyone has heard the slogan, “What would Jesus Do” (W. W. J. D.), as it has been printed on T-shirts, caps, mugs, buttons, and even on vehicle license tags to name only a few instances where the slogan has been utilized.

IS REAGAN REPLACING JESUS

In another take on the “famous slogan” taken by author, Dinesh D’Souz, as stated in his book entitled: Ronald Reagan: How an Ordinary Man Became an Extraordinary Leader. If you read or listen to all the praise being admonished by many political leaders, TV and radio commentators, and authors today, you might believe it has already occurred!

“There is no point in pining for “another Ronald Reagan.” Great leaders don’t come along very often, and in many ways Reagan was an American original. … [W]e don’t need another Reagan. Rather, we simply need to ask in every situation that arises, What would Reagan have done?”

Here’s a little history of the slogan from Wikipedia.

There’s even a movie that has been made around the slogan, W. W. J. D., which can be found at the link following the picture of the DVD.

REAGAN ON MOUNT RUSHMORE

Think you’ve seen it all by now regarding the “Reagan effect” on people?  While it may or may not be feasible to add Reagan to Mount Rushmore at the site itself, he has already been added along side of the other famous U. S. Presidents by photo-art which can be purchased by those desiring to display such an image.

“REAGAN ON RUSHMORE has to be seen to be believed – you would swear he’s already up there where he belongs with fellow giants of American history George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt.

GRAVEN IMAGES AND IDOLS

The Scriptures are abundantly clear about “graven images” and “idols”, so why are graven images and idols found all over America and the rest of the world?  The heart of the unregenerate man never changes, they seek to worship the creation instead of the Creator!

WORLD’S LARGEST IMAGE OF REAGAN

TOUCHDOWN JESUS

Deuteronomy 5:8

⁸Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:

Leviticus 26

¹Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.

THE WORLD FAMOUS IMAGE

A clone of a man would be an “image” of what has already existed, or still exists in time.  Just as we were created in the “image of God”, Satan has a counterfeit of the same “creation event” coming soon to a screen or scene near you!  The counterfeit of Christ, of course, will be the Antichrist.

God’s Image

Genesis 1

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Satan’s Image

There is no other manner in which Satan could attempt to duplicate or counterfeit what God did at the creation of mankind than to produce a body of flesh in the form of a cloned human being.  Since Satan has no real powers to create, he would have to utilize and pervert something God has already created – man.  After the creation of man, God breathed the “breath of life” into man who at that point became a “living soul”.  What was man before this happened?  A CREATION without a soul – just as a human clone would be, as neither mankind nor Satan can create a “living soul” or spirit.  Since Satan cannot fully duplicate what God created in man, he will simply enter into the “created being” and become the “living soul” within the that “temple” of human flesh.  That day is rapidly approaching…

Genesis 2

⁷ And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Revelation 13

¹⁴And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

¹⁵And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

¹⁶And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

¹⁷And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

¹⁸Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
