Don't Be a Chicken!

By Swarna Jha

I saw many watchmen standing upon a wall in America.

As they watched from the wall they saw multitudes of dangers heading towards the nation.

Some watchmen were disturbed.

They did not know how to tell the people of the grave things they had seen.

In the past when they had run to the people with warnings, many screamed at them, "The danger ain't here yet, so why are you running around like a chicken with your head cut off? What's your hurry man! Tell us when the danger is a little closer, not when its at such a distance away. Look, next time you have a warning to give, just come ask us first how we'd like to receive it."

Some watchmen were perplexed with the with the situation. Some thought, "Well, after all, the warnings are meant for the people, so it's only fair that the people receive it, in a way that is more palatable to them."

So now some of these watchmen would go to the people with a pen and paper, and look just like waitresses a way-side diner, taking orders, "How would you like your warnings, sunny side up, scrambled, poached.........?"

So these watchmen would return with a warning that was designed to the people's taste.

Some other watchmen who also stood on the wall, saw the dangers, but thought to themselves, "Who's gonna listen? Its best I keep my mouth shut."

Still others on the wall, saw how other watchmen were taking orders from others, and they were put off, and they also thought not to speak at all.

Then there were others who saw, but took what they saw to the kitchen, and added some fries, pickled gherkins, pickled onions, sprinkled it with peppers, and doused it with spicy Mexican sauces. They wanted the plate to look more dramatic and colorful. Besides, all the add-ons made it look like there was SO much on the plate.

I saw some well-meaning watchmen in New York, who walked like they were treading on eggshells. They did not want to hurt people, or upset them too much, they had churches to run, so they added some scriptures and biblical stories, that had no relevance to what they had seen, they wanted to make sure that no matter what they share, it must satisfy the "religious hunger" of the people. The words must sound like they had just descended from the Throne-Room of God, so any scripture, whether it matched what they saw or not, was inserted into the warnings. They knew fully well that God had not given them those biblical stories and scriptures to link with what they saw, but they saw that the people of America liked a ready format for prophetic warnings.

To assure the people in America that what they were saying was truly of God, they had to follow the format. The format required that every prophecy and warning MUST SOUND RELIGIOUS, or the prophets and watchmen faced a definite boycott.

So I saw that when the few true watchmen spoke, they were kicked out of the assemblies, as they followed no format, sounded not religious, and sweetened not the message. They and their messages were thrown out the windows and doors.

Towards the end of this vision, I saw these rejected messages, flying in the wind and landing on roads and pavements and odd places.

I saw as the vision faded, that they who accepted and welcomed the warnings from the true, uncompromising watchmen, were few, compared to the many who rejected them.
