The watching also means watch yourself. Keep an eye on yourself, not just world events, but I better be watching myself. Paul even tells us, the apostle Paul, it's high time to awake out of sleep and that we're to put on Christ. Clothe ourselves in Christ. Become more Christ-like, have a relationship with God. Those things are so critical when it comes to this time.
All through the entire Bible, especially in the New Testament, Christians are described as people who have cleaned garments. They are not spotted. And in all those passages, it's talking about righteousness (Ecclesiastes:9:8; Revelation:3:5;Revelation:19:8). And so, it's our faith in God and our obedience to God that is so important, and that those are the two things that are going to keep us focused as the world heads into a very deceiving time.
What Christ emphasized is that you can't have faith without obedience. They go hand in hand.
What is Armageddon? It is a place in the land of Israel that has a powerful and direct message for you and all in today's world. The message is this: Watch and understand today's world. Watch and understand how this culture of death is leading to a time of confrontation with God in a day and a place of judgment. Watch and understand how you can avoid its deceptions. In that day, you want to be able to stand before your Creator God.
Today's world events are leading to the day of the final battle for earth - the battle of the Great Day of God Almighty. That's why understanding today's world events matters. Stay in faith while you watch and pray.
God bless you.
