Keep Watch At Every Season

From The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus, The Christ of the Piscean Age:

Chapter 157

- Jesus prophesies... of terrible disasters that will mark the conclusion of the Age -

21) ... but lo, the time will come when all the world will rise, like gladiators in a ring, and fight just for the sake of shedding blood.
22) And men will reason not; they will not see, nor care to see a cause for carnage, desolation, thefts; for they will war with friend or foe.
23) The very air will seem surcharged with smoke of death; and pestilence will follow close upon the sword.
24) And signs that men have never seen will appear in heaven and earth; in sun, and moon, and stars.
25) The seas will roar, and sounds will come from heaven that men can never comprehend, and these will bring distress of nations with perplexity.
26) Hearts of the strongest men will faint in fear, in expectation of the coming of more frightful things upon the earth.
27) But while the conflicts rage on land and sea, the Prince of Peace will stand above the clouds of heaven and say again:
28) Peace, peace on earth; good will to men; and every man will throw away his sword, and nations will learn war no more.
29) And then the man who bears the pitcher will walk forth across an arc of heaven; the sign and signet of the son of man will stand forth in the eastern sky.
30) The wise will then lift up their heads and know that the redemption of the earth is near.
31) Before these days shall come, behold, false Christs and poor deluded prophets will arise in many lands.
32) And they will show forth signs, and do a multitude of mighty works; and they will lead astray the many who are not wise; and many of the wise will be deceived.
33) And now I tell you once again, When men shall say, The Christ is in the wilderness, go you not forth.
34) And if they say, The Christ is in the secret place, believe it not; for when he comes the world will know that he has come.
35) For as the morning light comes from the east and shines unto the west; so shall be the coming of the age and son of man.
36) The wicked of the earth will weep when they shall see the son of man come down upon the clouds of heaven, in power.
37) Take heed you, O take heed, for you know not the hour nor the day when comes the son of man.
38) Let not your hearts be overcharged with sensuous things, nor with the cares of life, lest that day come and find you unprepared.
39) Keep watch at every season of the year; and pray that you may meet the Lord with joy and not with grief.
40) Before these days shall come our Father-God will send his messengers abroad, yea, to the corners of the earth, and they will say.
41) Prepare you, O prepare; the Prince of Peace shall come, and now is coming on the clouds of heaven.
42) When Jesus had thus said, he went with his disciples back to Bethany.

"The man who bears the pitcher..." is a reference to the incoming Age, the Age of Aquarius, which is to commence with the winter solstice of December 21, 2012.

"The signet of the son of man" is the sign of the cross, which will appear in the skies prior to the Tribulations.

We are advised to persevere, purify and serve during this Waiting Period. Do not be fooled by sunny days, football games, falling in love and other material phenomena that spell "normalcy". If one tires of waiting and falls back into materialism, the promised Moment may come and go in an instant of time. Then one will know, but it will be too late.

Like that old game of "musical chairs", don't get caught short when the music stops. Watch for the signs. Abandon the old ways of man. This world is ending. It is way past time to begin preparing yourself for The New.
