"Gary Stearman - "Times and Seasons""


 
Hello John and Doves,
 
 Gary Stearman's "Gary's Letter to Readers" in his latest Prophecy Watcher magazine, March 2026 is titled "Times and Seasons".
 
In his letter, he wrote that "Paul makes a very interesting statement that Christians will have a sense, based upon Bible prophecy, that the Church Age is approaching its termination
 
At this point, perhaps we should ask, "What is a time?" and for that matter, "What is a season?"
 
What is a time?  "The answer seems to suggest first a calendar date.  Those who study Bible prophecy are experts at this kind of study.  A certain line-up of festivals, holidays and historical events that suggest a confluence of dates that fit the references found throughout the Bible.  Those who watch prophecy certainly follow such events with growing interest.'
 
"A "season" seems to suggest a confluence of global events."
 
"Paul describes the coming of Christ in a way that seems totally unpredictable.  But it hints that historical events are now forming patterns that reflect those throughout the Bible.  We also know that latter-day watchers will observe a global society that is is striving for "world peace."
 
'Are we witnessing the last moments of the Church Age? 
 
To the Church of the Thessalonians, Paul urges watchfulness:
 
"Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.  For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love;  and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ."  (1 Thess. 5:6-9)
 
Gary is one to look at dates and 'high watch times'.
 
We are approaching the start of the religious new year, 1 Nisan, and the Spring Feasts of the Lord. Certainly 'high watch times' as these are days of important historical value and days of High Holy significance to Believers and Watchers.
 
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
 
Maranatha!
