With Patrick Boyns.
Recorded on location at former RAF Douglaswood in Scotland.
It’s hard to believe that once this place was such a strategic part of our national defence. Of course, much has changed over the years, but the need for defence has always been a part of the story of human survival.
When this site in which I’m standing was operational as a means of frontline defence, it was able to see the unseen enemy. Within a range of about eighty miles, it could detect enemy aircraft that might pose a threat to national security, long before they could be seen by the naked eye, or even heard from below.
To see the enemy before the enemy can be seen is to gain a significant advantage, and can provide much needed time to be better prepared for the battle. So Peter warned his readers to “Be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” So we are to keep a watchful eye and not be caught unawares. We are to be watchful … as a watchman who looks out for the dangers of an approaching army.
