The Watchman’s Report

Discerning the Times, Declaring the Truth
Vol. 1 – June 26 2025

🕯️ Opening Word

“I have posted watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem; they will never be silent day or night.”
—Isaiah 62:6

This report is not for the distracted—it’s for the discerning. For those who feel the midnight wind stirring but refuse to sleep through the shift. The timepiece of heaven is ticking toward midnight, and though many yawn in the pews, the watchmen are beginning to rise.

🌐 God’s View Behind the News

A prophetic lens on three headlines that echo eternity.

🧨 1. Russia-Ukraine Escalation: From Proxy to Pressure Cooker

Ukraine’s massive drone assault on Russia’s long-range missile bases prompted the largest wave of retaliatory strikes since the war began. The bear is no longer just posturing—it’s lashing out.

Prophetic Insight:
This could be the fuse that lights a broader northern storm. Ezekiel’s references to “the far north” remind us: the bear still has a role to play. Watch for alliances that echo Gog and Magog, and for tremors that crack foundations deeper than politics.

🔥 2. Paris Riots After Soccer Victory: When Celebration Turns to Chaos

After Paris Saint-Germain’s championship win, the city erupted—not in joy, but in fire. Riots, looting, and chaos broke out with chilling coordination.

Prophetic Insight:
Even joy has become a trigger for destruction. As 2 Timothy 3 warns, “Men will be lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.” When peace becomes a pretext for rage, you’re watching a society under judgment.

🕯️ 3. Israel & Iran: The “Hook in the Jaw” Turns

Israeli and U.S. forces launched coordinated strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Iran retaliated. The world gasps—but the Word already spoke.

“I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws and bring you out with your whole army…”
—Ezekiel 38:4

Prophetic Insight:
This is not random. The “hook in the jaw” isn’t about enticement—it’s about divine orchestration. God Himself is pulling rebellious nations into alignment—not to destroy Israel, but to reveal Himself. Keep your eye on the coalition: Iran. Russia. Turkey. Gog’s shadows are moving again.

💧 Devotional Insight: Desert Praise

Inspired by Psalm 63

When the sanctuary feels far away and the Spirit seems quiet, do you stop singing? Or do you lift your hands to a God you remember?

David didn’t wait for the rain—he worshiped in the dust. Psalm 63 isn’t written from a throne but from exile. And yet, his soul clung.

• “O God, You are my God…” — Even in the dry place
• “I have seen You in the sanctuary…” — Even when memory is all you have
• “Because Your love is better than life…” — Even when the night is long

Reflection:
You may feel like you’ve been wandering in silence, but the desert isn’t proof of God’s absence—it’s the proving ground of your devotion. Worship now. Cling hard. Remember loudly.

🕊️ A Time for Reflection & Prayer

Reflection: Has your spirit grown dry in this season? Are you watching… or just scrolling? Has your worship survived the wilderness?

Prayer:
Lord, awaken my heart from spiritual slumber. Shake off the dust of apathy and restore my hunger for You. Let me see with eyes wide open—both to the hour we live in and to the nearness of Your presence. I want to stand on the wall, not slump in the pew. Let the whisper of Your Spirit be louder than the headlines. In Jesus’ name, amen.
