Something I ran across by Eddie Chumney a few years ago.
THE DUTY OF A WATCHMAN
The God of Israel (YHVH) has set watchmen on the walls of Jerusalem for Zion's sake (Is 62:1, 6). The watchmen will cry, 'Let Us Go Up To Zion' (Jer 31:6).
The Hebrew word for 'watchman' is NATZAR. It consists of the three Hebrew letters: Nun, Tzadde, Resh. There is another Hebrew word that contains the same three Hebrew letters for 'watchman' which is 'Notzri" or "Notzrim" (plural). Notzri is the Hebrew word for 'Christian'. Notzri (Christian) contains the same Hebrew letters as 'watchman' (Notzar) which is: Nun, Tzadde, Resh.
In his book, "Ephraim: The Gentile Children of Israel" by Yair Davidi who is an Orthodox Jew who lives in Jerusalem, he explains that words in the Hebrew language have a basic three letter root and that each word that contains the same basic Hebrew root letters can have a similar internal meaning.
Therefore, the Bible implies that the 'watchmen' in the end of days who declares, 'Let Us Go Up To Zion' (Jer 31:6) will be regarded as being 'Christians' (believers in Yeshua as the Messiah).
A WATCHMAN BLOWS A SHOFAR (sounds a warning) TO WARN OF JUDGMENT COMING UPON A LAND
In Ezekiel 33:1-7, we are told that a duty of a watchman is to 'blow the shofar' (declare a prophetic warning) when he sees a 'sword' coming upon the land. If he blows the shofar and the people take warning then the people are the better for it. If the people don't take warning then the blood of judgment is upon the people and not the watchman.
In the end of days, a trumpet is to be 'blown in Zion' (Joel 2:1). Interestingly, I have had this Scripture at the top of the HHMI (hebroots.com) or (hebroots.org) website since 1996.
The reason why the trumpet is to be 'blown in Zion' (Joel 2:1) is that the 'DAY OF THE LORD' (YHVH) is at hand (Joel 2:1). The reason why a trumpet needs to be 'blown in Zion' is that Zion is SPIRITUALLY ASLEEP and doesn't recognize that the 'DAY OF THE LORD' (YHVH) is at hand.
WHY IS ZION SPIRITUALLY ASLEEP IN JUDAISM ?
Zion is spiritually asleep in traditional Judaism for several reasons.
#1) They spend more time studying the Talmud than the prophets of Israel
#2) They have a theology that 'bad things' written by the prophets don't have to come to pass. In other words, NOT ALL the words of the prophets MUST come to pass. The BAD THINGS (judgment) is OPTIONAL. As a result, traditional Judaism doesn't focus on the prophetic 'bad things'. Rather, they focus on studying more Talmud and following Rabbinic tradition.
WHY IS ZION SPIRITUALLY ASLEEP IN CHRISTIANITY ?
Zion is spiritually asleep in traditional Christianity for several reasons.
#1) Because of dispensational theology (age of law / age of grace) wherein the OT is written about the Jews and the NT is written about the Christians, dispensationalists believe that Zion is a term that refers to THEM (the Jews) and THEIR LAND (the land of Israel) and the covenant that YHVH through Abraham (Genesis 12, 15) made with THEM. Dispensationalists believe that the prophecies about Zion pertain to THEM (the Jews) while the Christians get to be blessed with a pre- tribulation rapture for believing in Yeshua as the Messiah. Those who espouse this doctrine are commonly called: Evangelical Christians or Christian Zionists. While Christian Zionists might protest the potential creation of a PLO state and dividing the city of Jerusalem, it is only for "love" purposes toward the Jewish people and the land of Israel.
While Christian Zionists want to "love" THEM on behalf of the covenant made with Abraham (Genesis 12, 15), the irony is that we are told in Galatians 3:29 that those who accept Yeshua as the Messiah are HEIRS of what was promised to Abraham (the land). As a result, Christian Zionists are ASLEEP not realizing that the covenant made with "THEM" is in reality made with THEM AND US. Therefore, Christian Zionists don't realize that they ARE ZION along with THEM (the Jews). So, there is a need to 'blow the shofar' to Christian Zionists.
#2) Because of dispensational theology (age of law / age of grace) and the prevalent view of a pre-tribulation rapture, most Christians believe that the tribulation events don't pertain to them. While believing in a 7 year tribulation based upon Daniel 9:24-27, they don't believe that the CURRENT Israel / PLO peace process to divide the land of Israel (Joel 3:2) and the city of Jerusalem (Zech 14:2) is the 'covenant of death' (Is 28:15) which the "anti-Christ" signs with the nation of Israel.
Because of the blindness of dispensational theology and the belief in the pre-tribulation rapture, most Christians don't consider that the CURRENT PRESIDENT of the USA (George Bush) is fulfilling the prophecies wherein a leader in the world will encourage and entice the nation of Israel to eventually sign a 'covenant of death'. Instead, many Christians still view President Bush as a 'Christian' president more than an individual who is fulfilling the prophecies about enticing Israel to make a 'covenant with death'.
and it gives an insight in to his twisted thinking. The good part of the book is the first third, or so, where he does a good job at outlining the historical background to Christian Zionism.
