A Personal Commentary on the Book "We Are Almost There" & Related Works by Harold Camping of Family Radio;
with Additional Material and Resources to Review for Contemplation to Gain Spiritual Wisdom and Understanding.
Whether you are a believer, a skeptic, an atheist, a seeker or just spiritually comatose, there is something here for you.

The Mystery of Coming To Truth

      The way each person thinks and believes is a product of the ideas he has accepted to be true and trustworthy. These ideas may have been presented to him in the past or they may be new ideas that are presented today. As additional ideas are presented, they will be filtered and tested in the light of the ideas that he has already accepted to be true and trustworthy.

      This is certainly the situation that exists when it comes to religious understanding. Once we have learned certain religious ideas, and we have accepted them as truth, it seems impossible to accept any ideas as truth that are not in agreement with the ideas that we have already accepted as truth.

      When they are presented with new ideas from the Bible that teach that we have come to the end of the church age, they are incapable of examining them with any objectivity.

      The Bible is a spiritual book, and the only way that anyone will correctly understand truth from the Bible is if God opens his spiritual eyes. *

Selected quotes compiled here are by Harold Camping from Chapter One of "To God Be The Glory".

      * The Author lays out previously undiscerned information which is completely drawn from the entire  Bible about the last days, by carefully comparing scripture to scripture. As in the Parables, in which Jesus told earthly stories with heavenly meanings, only the disciples were privy to understanding their deeper meanings; when hidden truth was only disclosed to them directly by the Master.  Thus, one should dare not to casually reject what is revealed here without a closer, eager examination of the deeper meanings revealed about the Last Days, lest missing this new revelation, one faces dire, eternal and irreversable consequences should one be unprepared for this long predicted, yet heretofore, sealed timeline to the end of days. This is a warning of unfathomable consequences for those "without ears to hear". Only the day of May 21, 2011 will reveal the accuracy of these writings. Do not gamble with your soul by dismissing what you see and read here...but read with a sense of gratitude that you are  receiving God's mercy by being given this information now, while there is still time to repent and become one of God's elect before the terrible days after May 21, 2011 will deliver God's full wrath & the global annihilation of those left behind along with every vestage of the universe utterly destroyed!  The Watchman. (Luke 12: 35-40)

This webpage is a statement of personal faith and belief. You, Dear Reader, may see things through a prism of faith and belief or unbelief & skepticism or  have a personal worldview  and circumstances you see differently than I... and that is OK. The pathway to God's Truth is varied, but the doorway to eternal life is specific...it is the Lamb of God, Jesus the Christ Himself. John 6:44

This site is not for the purpose of convincing anyone that the author is correct, but it is posted to ensure that as many as possible have all the information required to come to the conclusion, by reviewing the biblical evidence, that God has a plan for humankind in the Holy Bible for anyone who reads His Word with an open heart and mind to receive God's Truth about Himself and about us, his highest form of Creation.

Therefore, God's interest in us is personal and our rejection of Him, and the Son He sent, He also takes personally. Therefore, we, His Created Ones, need to be fully aware of the consequences He has laid out in His Word  for our unbelief.

From the original sin of Adam til now our sinful nature continues through all  the generations and bloodlines of human history. It is as though we are born into this world "dead on arrival" spirtually speaking. Therefore, we can understand why Jesus said to Nicodemus in the book of John...you must be born again. God requires it.  Are you reborn, if not are you ready? 

I recently saw this message applied across the back of a car..."It is better to be born twice and die once, than to be born once and die twice!"  Well said.

Time may be shorter than we think! 

Remember humankind's Enemy is a liar and a deceiver and seeks to devour our souls before we can recognize our need to be redeemed by the Saviour.  This is why the world we know is so full of death and destruction of the innocent and the unborn, as well as, the living.

As for me, I am just a sinner saved by God's Mercy and Grace. As with every spiritually reborn believer in Christ, I am now, therefore, under no condemnation as Scripture promises.  My life has been transformed by God through Jesus Christ for His Eternal Purpose for me personally, as designed by Him in Eternity past and played out in this parenthesis in Eternity called Time. I have experienced by this point in my life a full range and mixture of joy, happiness, pain, suffering, blessing, loss, gain, pleasure and the surprises of circumstance that  are as unique to me personally as they are different and unique to every other human soul who has ever lived.

But in spite of all, I am blessed to be a child of the King, adopted by God through the work of Christ at Calvary, a husband, a father, a grandfather, a friend, a brother, an artist, a patriot,  a citizen, an ordinary  man... I have no agenda nor purpose in creating this website, other than to be used of God to point men to the Truth, The Living Word Himself; Jesus the Christ, so that we the true Church; His body, may be ready to receive the Bridegroom with first love passion and  soul-thrilling excitement  on the Day Of His Glorious Return....whenever that  inevitably will occur.

My hope here is to follow in obedience to His command  by the witness of His Spirit in me that the end of Time is indeed at hand.

Were there no book suggesting the end of time is near, indeed especially one  with such a specific date, one could still conclude the same as the author  by simply observing the events of this world and the character of its people swirling into churning chaos in ever tighter circles of self destruction & immorality. The very groaning of the earth's natural creation, extreme weather events, the wars and rumors of wars, the apostacy of the churches, the rise of religious terrorism, the greed behind global economic collapse, brazen judicial tyranny and erosion of liberty and personal freedoms, hunger, starvation and disease on the rise worldwide. The world upside down and wrong side out, where lies are truth and wrong is right, with God being made irrelevant in our culture by every form of media. Not to mention God's creation of sexuality for one husband and one wife for life...being flipped for promiscuity's sake.

On and on one could list the obvious...all the consequence of Original Sin tempting generations of mankind to continuously  living in deliberate ignorance of the Living God, His Son, and His Word, the Holy Bible.

No surprises here for a true believer. The foretold  end of time in righteous judgement is as inevitable as the dawn or a sunset.

One can see that Mr Camping is as an  obscure, surpising, humble and unexpected voice  as John the Baptist was in his day.

The people of Noah's day were as skeptical and scoffing as the world is in our time...today...the ridicule and riotous laughter of those watching Noah build the Ark was as self righteous as some of Mr Camping's critics are today.

Mr Camping is a righteous man of God and a student of the Word. Surely God could again choose the obscure but righteous man to surprise and confound the world with such news as May 21, 2011 being determined to be a precise date of the homegoing of God's saints who remain alive on that day, with those who have died also.

Mr Camping has steered Family Radio for 50 years in Biblical Faith believing God for the full supply of the financial need to stay on the air. No commercials, no fund raising, nothing but expectation in trust that God would supply through listener generosity alone. Now a global radio voice, giving away without cost every publication..that shows integrity.

This gives Mr Camping credibility in my mind and the right to be heard in prayerful consideration that God's Word concerning last days has indeed been kept sealed until the time of the end. Not a far fetched theory by some deranged religous fanatic in the least, to my mind...but a reasonable and rational expectation that something sealed is something to be revealed in due time on a precise timeline.... as precise as every detail of the Universe God has created.

"Those who have ears to hear, let him hear." Sounds familiar doesn't it?

God has used this pattern before. God is  Immutable (unchanging) therefore He could be expected to choose the least expected and ordinary individual to announce His plan of the end of time.

Examples of such choices in the Bible  abound: Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, Caleb, Isaiah, Jonah and  the Prophets, Rahab, Mary & Joseph, John the Baptist, a carpenter from Nazareth, the Disciples, Paul, Timothy and more even to this day.

Let us not, therefore, be so quick to criticize, but rather with sober reflection on our own heart's motives, be sure to read carefully, with prayer and supplication for Wisdom from on High so that God Himself will commune with us in the Spirit, Who indwells every true believer, and help us to discern the Truth, to then act upon it in gratitude and humility for the sake of those who may be less mature as believers or who are still utterly lost and without God's Salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, slain from the foundation of the world. 

In humility and with loving respect to those who may disagree, my prayer is that you are here because God the Father has drawn you and you are open so that God may lead us all to His Truth..some, perhaps, for the very first time.

Soli Deo Gloria, 
The Watchman.

"The Sacrifice"

Isaiah 49:16a

The Story Behind the Painting.

A Personal Prayer is Instantly Answered

This image was emblazoned on my mind during a time of prayer with a number of dear Christian brothers as we gathered in California in April 1991.  As others were praying aloud, I began to ask God in my spirit what would be a single image of power that could artistically convey in its essence the full meaning of God's gift of Salvation, its purpose, its cause, its core expression from God's heart.

It was the first time such an inspiration has been so vivid in my spirit that it was conceived in its entirety in my mind at that very moment!  I was compelled to record the vision as a drawing as soon as possible...and did so immediately upon returning to my studio in CT.

God's Endorsement of the Image Revealed

The resulting painting preceded the addition of the verse noted above.

I began to search the Scriptures for just the right verse to accompany the image.  God directed me to Isaiah where I found this portion of prophetic Word from Isaiah, written 750 years before Christ, that I recalled after many years. I thought the two were perfect together as I believe the Lord gave them to me specifically for the painting to visually reflect.

My prayer is, that the image will impact each viewer as we see our own sinful humanity as being the nail, thusly depicted in human form, which pierces Christ's open, unflinching palm in willingness to suffer in our stead.

The underlying thought is scriptural: that our fallen human nature and our universal sin was what nailed him to the Cross so long ago.  We each individually and personally are the reason He gave up His Glory in obedience to the Father and made Himself the Atonement for what we could never accomplish for ourselves nor by any other means...to become reconciled to God.

A perfect, sinless Sacrifice was required; the singular and specific means to satisfy God's Holy Righteous Judgement against us.  So He sent Himself, in Jesus His Only Son, the only Righteous substitution possible, miraculously created in human flesh, to give His Perfect Life for us so we could be set free.

We are now, therefore, no longer under condemmnation for our sin. (Romans 8:1)

How Simple.  Yet, How Profound.  How Perfect.
