Noah Webster Hutchings (December 11, 1922 – June 17, 2015) was the former president of Southwest Radio Church Ministries, a Christian broadcasting company based in Oklahoma City.
Your Watchman on The Wall's main focus is biblical prophecy and exposition of end times theories as well as conservative Christian apologetics.
In 1974, the Southwest Radio Church's David Webber and Noah Hutchings co-authored the book Prophecy in Stone (Harvest Press) in which they suggested that the "rapture" would take place "possibly in 1987 or 1988."
In 1978, Southwest Radio Church published a pamphlet entitled God's Timetable for the 1980s in which were listed prophecies for each year of the 1980s, culminating with Christ's return and the establishment of his millennial kingdom on earth in 1989.
His recovery from a deadly wound directed world attention and admiration to his personage, and he, like those before him, would seemingly like to establish authority over the Holy Hill of Zion."
"[citation needed] Hutchings' book was noted by the San Francisco Chronicle in a story published on October 3, 1998, "2000 Computer Bug Has Apocalyptic Overtones."
"[citation needed] "That number, 666," Lattin noted, "is a powerful Satanic(devil) symbol of the 'mark of the beast,' the Antichrist described in the apocalyptic visions in the Book of Revelation.
"[citation needed] Hutchings had co-authored an earlier book with David Webber entitled Computers and the Beast of Revelation (Huntington House, 1986).
[citation needed] Noah Hutchings had been criticized by a fellow evangelical Christian, William Alnor, as claiming doctorate and graduate degrees which he did not legitimately possess.
His bio there mentions that he had been the recipient of two honorary doctorates, one from St. Charles University—a diploma mill in California[citation needed]—and one from American Bible College and Seminary in Oklahoma City (now defunct).
Rick Miesel had accused Hutchings of promoting the doctrine of the "Gospel in the Stars", the idea that the astrological signs really refer to the Bible.
