Next Time You Hear the "No Man Knows" Mantra – Remember the Herd of Swine
Isaiah 56:10 His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
11 Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
12 Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.
In the above passage God likens His "watchmen" to being blind and ignorant as well as being like dumb dogs unable to bark. Which lie down sleeping loving to slumber.
Who are these watchmen? Verse 11 tells us that they are "shepherds that cannot understand". Shepherds are pastors.
This description of a ridiculously inept group of watchmen and pastors (and really all Christians were called upon by God to be watchmen not just the pastors ("watch ye therefore for you know not the hour") is describing the churches and congregations of the world at the time God moved within His people to declare the "May 21, 2011 Judgment Day!" proclamation.
Blind watchmen. What blinded them was the constant doctrinal refrain sounding from practically every pulpit in western civilization: "No man knows the day or hour," they cried in unison as almost a script had been written for them. Indeed, there was a script in the sense the churches had been turned over to Satan for judgment and that was the message he stirred up in all of his evil emissaries that filled the pulpits:
2 Corinthians 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
The legion of devils entering into the herd of swine which ran with one accord off the cliff into the deep (the abyss) pictures this tower of Babel one-mind mentality that Satan was permitted (by God) to foster in the minds and sermons delivered by countless so-called ministers of Jesus Christ – who were in actuality ministers of the wicked one.
Next time you hear the "No man knows" mantra declared, remember the herd of swine which numbered about 2,000. Why about 2,000? It points to the about 2,000 years of the Church Age before the entire church went off a cliff and came under the terrible wrath of God.
