The Deceitfulness of Riches

Part 2:

“Flee!”

TO READ PART 1, CLICK HERE…MARCH 7 (The Deceitfulness of Riches)“

.

.

.

.

.

“For the love of money is the root of all evil:

which while some coveted after,

they have erred from the faith,

and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 

But thou, O man of God, flee these things;

and follow after righteousness, godliness,

faith, love, patience, meekness.”

1st Timothy 6:10, 11

.

.

.

.

It was presented in yesterday’s devotional (click here), that we live in a land of incredible riches!

.

Like never before in history, we in this high-tech industrial culture have more than the heart could wish!

.

Yes, even the poorer of this society are inundated with earthly wealth in the form of modern-day conveniences and over-abundance; things which cause us and our children to drown in perdition and destruction!

.

And because we have gone after so much of this excess and opulence, not only us, but our children have little desire to seek after the oneness with Jesus, which God requires from each and every true worshipper!

THIS ANTICHRIST WORLD-SYSTEM

.

“…the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” 2nd Corinthians 4:4

.

And yesterday (click here), it was also presented that Satan has built up a world-system which is increasingly causing the entire earth-population to become conformed to his image!

.

From television, to books, magazines and newspapers, etc., to atheistic schooling, to our high-tech audio/visual devices, Satan has been indoctrinating Christians and their children into his Antichrist world-system!

.

.

MANY TIMES, GOD SAYS, “FLEE”!

.

And so, in yesterday’s devotional (click here), it was declared that Habakkuk’s prophecy has now reached its fulfillment, in which God’s people are warned to “run”!

.

Now, the Book of Habakkuk is not the only place in Scripture that we are commanded to run! No, many times God warns us to flee from the wrath to come!

.

Listen… “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:” Matthew 24:14-16

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

ALLEGORICAL LANGUAGE

.

“When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation…Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:” Matthew 24:14-16 (condensed)

.

Now, this above passage found in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 has been written in veiled, allegorical language, so that only God’s faithful people will understand what it truly is saying!

.

The apostate portion of the Church has been locked out of understanding these allegorical things, by their own false and unbiblical hermeneutics!

.

.

.

.

THE HARLOT CHURCH

.

And speaking of allegories, this next passage only further amplifies our understanding…

.

Listen… “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, My people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” Revelation 18:4

.

This above verse calls God’s people out of Babylon.

.

But since literal Babylon was destroyed thousands of years prior, this verse must be understood allegorically! And in Chapter 17 of Revelation, God speaks of MYSTERY BABYLON, MOTHER OF HARLOTS!

.

And many times, God compares the apostate portion of the Church to a harlot and to an adulterous woman!

.

And as you can see by this 500 year old engraving, the people of long ago fully understood this concept!

SODOM-LIKE OPULENCE IN CHURCHES

.

“Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fullness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.” Ezekiel 16:49

.

And so, when God calls His people out of Babylon, He is telling us to vacate the fallen world-loving, prosperity-driven churches!

.                                                                                                                                                      

Here is the apostate condition of the churches, both liberal and conservative!

.

The churches are filled with those who advocate the same opulence which led Sodom into her ultimate destruction!

.

Pride, fulness of bread were the chief sins of Sodom; and they are also the chief sins of us today!

TOTAL APOSTASY FORETOLD

.

Just listen to the apostate condition of today’s church-world… “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” 2nd Timothy 4:3, 4

.

Today’s churches are no longer able to preach the pure Word of God!

.

Because if they did, they would offend, thus losing most of their parishioners!

.

.

MANY OTHER THINGS

.

And so, the pure words of the Bible have now become “watered down” with many worldly compromises: politics, prosperity-driven messages, worldly jokes and jests, career-oriented encouragements, drama, sensual music & dancing, sensual apparel, idolizing of famous musicians and evangelists, ethnicity-focused, incorrect doctrines, divorce & re-marriage, ungodly associations with unbelievers, worldly-minded clubs, worldly-minded sports, many worldly-minded schools, spiritualism in the form of tongues (babbling) and other counterfeit signs & wonders, and a host of other similar abominations!

.

.

TIME TO FLEE!

.

And so, by attending such congregations, God’s people and their children are only getting further indoctrination into the world-system of our adversary, the Devil!

.

Yes, the time of “itching ears gospels” has fully come!

.

But the Bible tells us… “men of corrupt minds…supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself….For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.” 1st Timothy 6:10, 11

.

It tells us in this above to “withdraw thyself from such (men)” 1st Timothy 6:5! But it also tells us to “flee these things” (c.6, v. 11).

.

And here is a giant clue as to just how we are to come out of spiritual Babylon!

.

ABOVE PICTURE – winter Constellations – Woman of Revelation 12 (Ursa Major) flees to the mountains – Mark 13:14 – Dragon comprised of Hyades, Pleiades, etc…Valley of Decision mountain comprised of Cassiopeia, etc… (This is not a star-chart, but merely a concept picture since this mountain is not in this position, but is actually in the fall months)

.

.

.

.

And so, in tomorrow’s daily devotional will be discussed just how do we flee and where we are to flee to!

REVELATION 12 TAKES PLACE IN HEAVEN

.

.

“And there appeared a great wonder (sign) in heaven; a woman…And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. And there appeared another wonder (sign) in heaven; and behold a great red dragon…And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth…And the woman fled into the wilderness…And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon…And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness…And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood…” Revelation 12: 1-4, 6, 7, 14, 15 (condensed)

.

This above passage is a very condensed version of Revelation, Ch. 12. (To read entire Chapter 12, click here)

WOMAN & DRAGON IN HEAVENS

.

.

From time to time, the Book of Revelation mentions stars. But when we get to Revelation Chapter 12, it speaks of two “great signs in heaven”. First, it speaks of the sign in heaven of a woman with child. Then it speaks of the sign in heaven of a great red dragon, with a tail that sweeps one-third of the stars and casts these stars down to the earth. So we get the sense that this phenomenon that the Apostle John was seeing, was closely intertwined with the starry host of the heavens. And these two signs in heaven, a woman, and a dragon, are a big part of this website, Signs Of Heaven.

.

And so this phenomenon that the Apostle John was seeing, was closely intertwined with the starry host of the heavens.

.

What really gives validity to this idea, is that God created the Universe in such a way, that if one looks at the major constellations, then this Revelation 12 scenario can be seen. So please read on. And if you really want to see this heavenly battle, you just might. It will take some real effort on your part. But through prayer, faith, and study of the site, God may just graciously open your eyes to see this amazing story written on the heavenly scroll above. But don’t wait! This heavenly scroll will soon be rolled up, just as it is written… “And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together;” Revelation 6:14

.

WINTER CONSTELLATIONS-SEEN IN FALL: This sketch to the right is how this constellation group appears in the eastern sky in fall. This is the four primary constellations of the Winter Constellations. They can be seen in this position, in the late fall above the eastern horizon. The Woman of Revelation 12 is commonly called Ursa Major or The Big Dipper and appears in the north. Orion the Soldier is the at the bottom is to the south of the Woman. The The Dragon of Revelation Constellation’s mouth isThe Hyades Cluster, and the tip of his tail is Pleiades, and his Wave of Water is primarily the  Auriga constellation. The Glorious Horse Constellation  head is of  Perseus Constellation and his rear end is Cassiopeia Constellation.

The Deceitfulness of Riches

.

.

.

.

.

We live in a land of incredible riches!

.

Like never before in history, we in this high-tech industrial culture have more than the heart could wish.

.

AS RICH AS KINGS!

.

Through the invention of many labor-saving devices, even those toward the bottom of the income ladder, enjoy electric ovens and toasters, and TV’s, cars, radios, newspapers, refrigerators, lights, grocery stores, inexpensive clothing, manufactured goods, and a host of other labor-saving goods: a level of luxury which only lords and kings could enjoy in centuries past!

.

Yes, all these luxuries we take for granted today, would have required many servants in olden times!

.

The point is, our definition of being rich is vastly different than when the Bible was first penned!

PAUL’S EXHORTATION

.

Now, the Apostle Paul tells us that… “And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.” 1st Timothy 6:8, 9

.

Now, as we examine our lives today, just how is this above warning fulfilled?

.

How do our many convenience

s drown us in perdition and destruction?

.

.

.

.

.

.

FAMILY UNIT BROKEN UP

.

For one thing, all the modern conveniences have greatly eliminated the necessity of teaching children to work and contribute to the needs of the family!

.

And so, instead of all the family members working together through the day, Christians often send their children off to school, to be raised by strangers who, quite often, indoctrinate them into secular philosophies, while parents spend the day working away from home!

.

And then, they wonder why their children have so little love for Jesus!

.

God purposely designed this world to become a discipline for our own good! But we have “sought out many inventions”! Ecclesiastes 7:29

.

(Now this article is not recommending anyone to discard these labor-saving devices; just that we use them to our benefit, by spending our extra time in God’s Word.)

.

.

WORLD INDOCTRINATION

.

Yes, and speaking of many inventions, just think of how all our high-tech devices are bringing destruction and perdition upon us!

.

Just think how we are piercing our own selves through with many sorrows with these high-tech devices!

.

And after being indoctrinated in school, our children come home to watch TV, and listen to ungodly music on their smart-phones!

.

The fact is, the False Prophet, Satan, has led unsaved men to build up this present-day society, turning it into a giant indoctrination center, conforming us and our children into his image!

.

And we have reached the day in which Revelation 13 has now been fulfilled…

.

.

.

.

.

IMAGE NOW FORMED!

.

Listen to Revelation 13… “And he (the False Prophet: the 2nd Beast) had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.” Revelation 13:15

.

It is now possible for images to speak and cause us to become indoctrinated into the image of the Beast (this antichrist world-system).

.

And all this has happened right under our noses, while Satan has busied us with the pursuit of earthly Mammon (materialism)!

.

.

.

.

.

CHURCH DECEIVED!

.

Oh, how crafty is this cunning serpent!

.

He has diverted us into believing that the Beast and False Prophet are two individuals who are not even going to appear until after we had all been supposedly Raptured out of the world!

.

And we bought into this lie of the Devil, while Satan was allowed to build his last-day deception all around us!

.

And so, we Christians are living in a society which assures us that all is well with our souls! The TV assures us that all is well! Our churches assure us that all is well, telling us that we have nothing to fear, since we will soon be Raptured away from all this!

.

But the Bible doesn’t give us this assurance! No, the Bible warns us to flee!

.

.

.

.

.

CAUGHT IN SATAN’S SNARE!

.

And there are many who are being awakened to this horrible and impossible situation, asking ourselves, “Just what can I do? How can I escape this giant net which the Devil has now cast upon the entire world?”

.

The Bible speaks of a day in which God’s people are to flee!

.

Yes, just listen to Habakkuk… “And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” Habakkuk 2:2, 3

.

.

.

.

.

INDOCTRINATION EVERYWHERE!

.

As Habakkuk warns, we have been surrounded by Chaldeans (the people of this Babylonish world).

.

They have surrounded God’s people via the various high-tech devices, and atheistic schooling, and even by false teachers within the Church. And Habakkuk prophesied of this day…

.

Listen… “Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.” Habakkuk 1:4

.

Yes, the enemy has come in like a flood, and brought us and our children into certain destruction, via this Antichrist society!

.

And as this above verse declares, “the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceeds” (wrong judgment proceeding from God’s own surrounded people)!

.

.

.

.

.

.

SO WHERE DO WE RUN?

.

And so, as we begin to realize that the prophet, Habakkuk, was prophesying about this very day we are now in, the command is given to “RUN!”

.

But where can we run? Just where can we hide?

.

Well, in tomorrow’s devotional, this will be further discussed.

WHY A SNAKE/SERPENT?

.

.

The Five Wise represent all those who were once a part of Satan’s Kingdom of Selfishness. But now, they have been cut off and separated from that kingdom. Now they have become part of God Kingdom of Unselfish Love! And that is why this serpent looks as if its body has been severed. It has lost part of its body! It is now, only half-a-snake! The Wise were once part of that snake. But now they have become free from Satan’s Prison-house of Sin!

.

.

But as for this Snake/Serpent Constellation, and what it represents,one needs only to begin with beginning of the Salvation story: “Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?” Genesis 3:1

.

.

THE HEEL OF JESUS FOOT

.

.

Now, as step back about several light-years, we can view the great “Son of Man Constellation”. And if we look at his right foot, it is revealed that this serpent is winding its way over  of the top of the heel of Jesus’ foot. Of course this reminds one of the very words of God, as He spoke to the serpent in the Garden… “And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou [art] cursed… And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” Genesis 3:14, 15. Of course, this was a prophecy about Jesus, and how Satan would bruise His Heel.

.

And so it is no coincidence that God has arraigned the stars in such a way as to portray this concept, concerning the serpent bruising Christ’s heel.

How To Have Heaven, Right Now!

.

.

.

.

.

“But God, who is rich in mercy,

for His great love wherewith He loved us…

And hath raised us up together,

and made us sit together

in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:”

Ephesians 2:4, 6

.

.

.

.

The people of the world are so wise in their own generation!

.

Yes, all it takes is just one glance to realize that they know how to indoctrinate their loyal citizens! Just look around! Just take inventory of all the mind-control devices that are now in operation!

.

Oh no, they are not called mind-control devices. But essentially, that’s what they are!

.

Just look at this 100+ year old picture! The world was already imagining this current-day mind-control we are now experiencing!

.

.

.

.

.

.

WORLDLY WISDOM

.

Yes, just as Jesus said… “…for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.” Luke 16:8.

.

The people of the world instinctively understand, that the world’s populace must be totally immersed in the principles and ideologies of the world!

.

And so, beside all the indoctrination devices, they are working hard to eliminate any and all contrary influences!

.

Oh no, they have not yet been successful, but they are trying very hard to prevent truly biblical teachings! And they won’t rest until they are successful!

.

This is what it means when God tells us… “And that no man might buy or sell (the Gospel), save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Revelation 13:17.

.

Yes, the true Gospel will soon be pinched off, leaving only a thin, anemic, worldly gospel.

(And the day may also soon arrive when literal buying/selling may also be impossible for true Christians!)

.

.

.

.

.

REDEEM THE TIME!

.

“See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil” Ephesians 5:15, 16

.

And so, the Christian can and should learn a great lesson from the ways of the world!

.

Yes, as they say in football, we can “steal a page from their own playbook!” All we need to do, is watch them, and translate what they do into the spiritual realm!

.

But the sad fact is, that we Christians have not improved upon all the opportunities available! And the angels of Heaven, no doubt, weep when they see our children receiving world-indoctrination on a daily basis!

.

We send our children to the antichrist-world-system-schooling, when instead, we could be fighting to set up our own little home-schooling system!

.

It’s so tragic to learn that most Christian children are in the public schooling, receiving a thorough indoctrination from this antichrist-world-system!

.

GOOD NEWS! A LITTLE TIME!

.

But there is some really Good News!

.

There is still enough time left for us to make a turn-about in our lifestyle!

.

Yes, God has graciously given us a chance to show Him that we really are serious about our Christianity!

.

And in the process, we can turn our own world into a little Heaven-on-Earth, to a great degree!

.

.

FILLING OUR HEARTS WITH HEAVEN!

.

For instance, those of us who have Internet can find a site which offers Celestial choir music!

.

And combined with quiet Davidic psalms, we can imitate what the inhabitants of Heaven listen to! After all, we are going to live in Heaven for all eternity!

.

So why wait for Heaven?

.

Let’s ask the Lord to give us a Holy Spirit, so that we can appreciate what all Heaven appreciates right now!

.

We’re just not availing ourselves of all the accessible blessings which Heaven has to offer! But we could be, if we wanted to!

.

.

.

.

.

PRAY WITHOUT CEASING!

1st Thessalonians 5:17

.

Next, we can ask the Lord to graciously give us the desire to pray without ceasing!

.

That way, the Christian can be sharing his or her thoughts with the Lord, all through the day!

.

Whether at work, or while walking, or when at recreation with the family, or even lying in bed, the Christian can talk with our heavenly Father, and tell Him of all our needs, concerns, and desires!

.

.

.

.

.

.

WALKING UPWARD!

.

Well, there are many other ways in which the Christian can make life a little bit of heaven-on-earth!

.

And through heart-felt prayer for wisdom and desire, we might receive that Spirit of Holiness, which we yearn for!

.

And who knows? If we become totally immersed in heavenly thoughts, we might just one day begin to walk straight upward into the Celestial City of God!

.

Well that’s what Enoch did! That’s right! 

.

Enoch so completely walked with God, that God eventually took Enoch!

.

“And he was not! For God took him!” Genesis 5:24

.

And by purging out the world, we can finally make a place for the Kingdom of Heaven right here in our hearts! 

.

Listen… “And when He (Jesus) was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, He answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” Luke 17:20, 21

.

Yes, the kingdom of God is within us, if we truly are His child!

7 HEADS, 10 HORNS, & 7 CROWNS OF THE DRAGON

.

“And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.” Rev. 12:3 

.

In Revelation, the Dragon of Revelation 12 is described as having seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns. However, the Dragon Constellation up in the night sky does not. But God has faithfully created the wave of water, in such a way, as to illustrate this same concept of the seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns. Because this wave of water is basically composed of ten stars. The main body of the wave has seven stars (#‘s, 1 thru 7). And the tip of the crest of the wave has the other three stars (#’s, 8, 9 & 10). So we have this 7 and 10 numbering. And this gives us a great clue, as to where in the Bible we should look, to find out the riddle as to just what or who do these 7 heads, 10 crowns, and 7 horns represent. Because, the Bible speaks very much about floods and waters as being associated with Satan (the Dragon).

.

But before we explore the floods, let’s look at one more number from that same passage in Revelation…
