Our Favorite Babysitter: Satan!

TV – the babysitter

.

.

.

.

.

We parents have, at one time or another, hired a babysitter. And what we got was usually less-than the ideal.

.

In other words, the babysitter was most often some teenager, who probably spent most of her time talking on the phone, while our children played within her eyesight.

.

And we were content with this, since their physical safety was our main concern!

.

Of course, as Christian parents, our great hope was to find some babysitter who would read Christian stories to our children. Or maybe they would also sing Christian songs, or look at pictures of nature, relating those nature pictures to our Creator-God!

.

Now that would indeed be money well-spent, to find such a godly babysitter! Wouldn’t you agree?

TODAY’S HIGH-TECH BABYSITTER!

.

Unfortunately, the television also makes a great babysitter, and has now become the primary designated babysitter in many homes! It keeps kids entertained for hours!

.

The problem is, TV will ultimately conform children to this Antichrist world-system, and to the character of Satan!

.

And we all instinctively know it is evil, and yet it’s so convenient to simply plop them down, and let the TV do all the work!

.

.

.

ANSWERING FOR OUR CHILDREN ON JUDGMENT DAY

.

But make no mistake! On Judgment Day, many parents will stand before the throne of God and answer for the Mark of Satan’s character written upon the hearts of their children!

.

And all because they allowed them access to the television and other high-tech devices, for their enjoyment!

.

Oh yes, Satan starts very subtly with young children. All those entry-level programs for toddlers seem so cute and innocent.

.

But they are simply designed to gain a firm grip on hearts and minds of children.

.

.

.

.

TV: A SUBTLE SERPENT

.

And then, gradually, Satan introduces more ungodliness, more sensual music, more anger, more revenge, more selfishness, more pride, more greed and lust, more and more of Satan’s attributes.

.

And finally, after years of watching the TV and Internet and computer games, these children eventually graduate into adult programming!

.

And by then, they will have the impress of Satan’s character fully engraven upon their hearts!

.

.

.

.

.

THIS WORLD IS SATAN’S KINGDOM

.

This is what the image of the Beast is all about! This is what the Mark of Satan’s character is all about!

.

The Beast of Revelation 13 & 17, is merely this Antichrist world-order all around us.

.

The kings and kingdoms of this world are the kingdoms of Satan!

.

Satan is called “the god of this world” (2nd Corinthians 4:4). And this world serves and worships Satan (Revelation 13:4).

.

Oh yes, there is a form of godliness in this world. Much humanitarianism! But that is merely a façade, to mask all the underlying evil in this, the Devil’s world!

GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY!

Proverbs 25:25

.

Now there is some Good News, parents! Yes, there is a way of escape for you and your children! But it will require a total surrender on your part! You must fully give yourself to the proper rearing of your children! It takes both parents being willing to devote themselves 100% to the God of Heaven! And even if only one parent is willing to fully surrender to the Lord, that is a great first step!

.

No, you must not nag your unwilling spouse! Just hide yourself in Christ, and dedicate your life to prayer and Bible contemplation and devotion to the Lord, for the rest of your family! And God will see your tears, and hear your soft and silent crying for His mercy! And though the situation will often seem hopeless, God will eventually answer your prayers for your family!

.

Just hide yourself in, “His pavilion: in the secret of His tabernacle”! Psalm 27:5 And if I’ve been unfaithful in my duties, in the past, I can begin today, to plead for mercy and strength to turn my life around!

FROM WHERE & TO WHERE DOES SHE FLEE?

.

WOMAN ROTATES THROUGH THE SEASONS…

.

.

This page is about the Big Dipper, also called the Great Bear constellation (Ursa Major ). However, the ancient pagan cultures did not see this constellation as God intended it to be seen. It is actually a headless woman in childbirth.  This is seen in springtime. It is seen in the northern skies. 

.

But as the seasons progress, this travailing woman flips upside down, now appearing as a woman with upraised arms like eagle wings who is running (eventually flying, as shown in sketch on right) into the wilderness (westward).

.

The single star representing her birth-child (Christ) now becomes her head (“Christ is the head of the church.” Ephesians 5:23

.

The 7 Stars (Big Dipper) is easy to see with its very bright 7 stars. But the Revelation 12 Woman (Ursa Major) must be seen on a dark starry night, away from city lights. 

.

These are star charts from Wikipedia, with sketches of the Woman added.
