In ancient times watchman would mount the city walls in times of stress to survey the scene outside the fortifications. He was situated on a spot from which he could monitor the approaches to the town. If a threat appeared, he would sound a warning and the town would shut its gates and prepare for battle.

3 Articles of bible mockery, the fight to take away Christian traditions, & total war declared against Christians...These are the days!
2 Timothy 3:1-5
1 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.
(Article 1) THE CLAIM OF CHRISTIANITY IS USED TO LOOSE THESE DAYS!
The Problem with calling behavior "BIBLICAL"
Editor's Note: Rachel Held Evans is a popular blogger from Dayton, Tennessee, and author of “A Year of Biblical Womanhood.”
On "The Daily Show" recently, Jon Stewart grilled Mike Huckabee about a TV ad in which Huckabee urged voters to support “biblical values” at the voting box.
When Huckabee said that he supported the “biblical model of marriage,” Stewart shot back that “the biblical model of marriage is polygamy.”
And there’s a big problem, Stewart went on, with reducing “biblical values” to one or two social issues such as abortion and gay marriage, while ignoring issues such as poverty and immigration reform.
It may come as some surprise that as an evangelical Christian, I cheered Stewart on from my living room couch.

(Article 2) ATHIEST ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR WAYS TO DENY CHRISTIANS THEIR RIGHTS AND SLAP GOD IN THE FACE!
Atheists' move halts Christmas tradition in California, churches go to court to get it back.
Damon Vix didn't have to go to court to push Christmas out of the city of Santa Monica. He just joined the festivities.
The atheist's anti-God message alongside a life-sized nativity display in a park overlooking the beach ignited a debate that burned brighter than any Christmas candle.
Santa Monica officials snuffed the city's holiday tradition this year rather than referee the religious rumble, prompting churches that have set up a 14-scene Christian diorama for decades to sue over freedom of speech violations. Their attorney will ask a federal judge Monday to resurrect the depiction of Jesus' birth, while the city aims to eject the case.
"It's a sad, sad commentary on the attitudes of the day that a nearly 60-year-old Christmas tradition is now having to hunt for a home, something like our savior had to hunt for a place to be born because the world was not interested," said Hunter Jameson, head of the nonprofit Santa Monica Nativity Scene Committee that is suing.

(Article 2) WAR ON JESUS CHRIST!
Total war declared against Jesus & His followers.
Christians tuning in to talk shows and reading various missives on internet sites know that “war” has been declared against Christianity and Christians in America. This battle is being waged in the media, in the classrooms and courts, and even in the court of public opinion. It is a stealth war, with those on the side of evil using the admonition of compromise and tolerance as very effective weapons.
Christians are admonished, even by their own pastors, Catholic priests and ministers to be tolerant of alternative lifestyles that redefine the traditional family. Many accept and even endorse the teaching of the homosexual lifestyle in elementary school, the promotion of contraception as simply being part of the changing times – the new reality. There is a very real multifaceted assault taking place on our Judeo-Christian faith that involves not only redefining marriage, but also forcing Christians to subsidize abortions, support endless wars declared by the globalists under the cloak of patriotism, and so on.

Hamas ties ceasefire to end of Gaza border blockade, while Israel calls for end of rocket strikes.
Gaza's Hamas rulers are aiming high in the conditions they place on stopping rocket fire into Israel in indirect cease-fire talks launched this weekend. Emboldened by Arab support and confident in their arsenal, the Islamists say calm can only come if Israel opens the gates of the tiny, closed-off territory.
