Daily Devotional, Year 3 – December 9

.

The Great Babylonian Dream Machine,

.

Part 6:

“What’s The Most Evil Thing On TV?”

To Read Part 1, click here…May 6 (The Great Babylonian Dream-Machine!)

.

A somewhat naïve mother was letting her 7-year-old daughter watch a cartoon, a “coming-of-age” movie, about a young girl who was, “pursuing her dream” to become a famously celebrated dancer.

.

But as this movie progressed, the young girl in the movie just happened to dance her way from the street, and right into a beer tavern, continuing to dance from table-top to table-top, while the customers were laughing and singing and drinking their pitchers of ale.

.

Well, this was finally too much for the watching mother, causing her to make a somewhat critical comment about that particular movie scene.

.

But that was merely one television show!

.

And many who are familiar with television might remark…“So what’s the big deal about that? There’s a whole lot of worse things seen and heard on TV these days!”

.

.

WHAT’S THE GREATEST EVIL?

.

And so, O Reader, just what is the most evil thing on television, if it isn’t that little children’s cartoon movie, in which the adolescent girl winds up dancing in a tavern?

.

Well, there’s worse things on television, aren’t there?

.

For example, what about all those zombie shows in which the walking-dead attempt to eat humans alive? They’re pretty evil, are they not?

.

Or what about the music shows which often feature vile and vulgar lyrics?

.

.

A MUCH GREATER EVIL LURKS ON TELEVISION!

.

Well, needless to say, there’s a lot of evil on television these days!

.

But what in the world could be the absolute most evil thing on television?

.

If it’s not those flesh-eating zombies, nor those vile “music” shows, then what is it?

.

Just what evil could there be which truly “takes the prize” for being the greatest evil of all?

.

“LOVE NOT THE WORLD”

.

No, there’s something far more evil than these!

.

You see, the very worst evil, above all evil, is found in the following passage…“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.” 1st John 2:15, 16

.

Herein lies the very heart of darkness.

.

The World.

.

ABOVE PICTURE: Satan, The False Prophet who offers a world-loving gospel – www.signsofheaven.org

.

THIS LUCIFERION WORLD-SYSTEM

.

No, it is not some beer hall, nor even some young girl dancing on its table-tops. Nor is it the flesh-eating walking-dead. Nor the vile and twisted lyrics which often pervert young, impressionable minds.

.

Oh yes, all those are very evil, to be sure!

.

But more than any one evil aspect of this present world, is the fact that the whole world is the epitome of evil, even as it is written…“And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.” 1st John 5:19

.

You see, this entire Antichrist world-system is the creation of Lucifer, that fallen angel who leads a great throng of fellow rebel angels, dedicated and determined to destroy the souls of every man, woman, and child here on Planet Earth!

.

.

WHICH WORLD WILL YOU CHOOSE?

.

But God was not going to let us go that easily. No, the Son of God came to this earth to present to us, the government of Heaven: the government of unselfish love.

.

And so, God has allowed there to be two worlds to choose from: this world of selfish sin, or the world-to-come, of unselfish goodness and love.

.

That’s the choice. That’s the choice which God gives to mankind. God wants us to understand these two forms of government, and decide which government we want to rule over us.

.

**And of course, “the god of this world”, Satan wants us all to choose his kingdom over God’s kingdom.**

.

TELEVISION: SATAN’S ADVERTISER-IN-CHIEF

.

Oh yes, that unseen deceiver has been at this game for many-a long century. But in these last days, he has now invented a talking image which portrays his kingdom in the best light possible. A sort of “advertiser-in-chief” one might say. .

.

You might call this device the television. Or the Internet. Or the radio. Or any other audio, visual device or even printed publications such as novels, newspapers and magazines and various types of signage.

.

These are the present-day means by which the great enemy of Heaven, “The Prince of The Power of The Air”, attempts to firmly entwine the hearts of mankind to this present selfish world (much like a spider entraps his victims in a web).

.

THE BABYLONIAN DREAM MACHINE

.

And so, back to our opening scenario regarding the cartoon movie, which the young daughter was watching. You know, that coming-of-age cartoon about the young girl pursuing her life dream.

.

And so, do you see what the true evil was really about, in that cartoon/movie?

.

Yes, this is the greatest evil that television engages in: to entwine a person’s heart and soul to this deceitfully entangling world! And that little dancing girl with her big dream was, and is, the greatest evil on television.

.

But with all the open wickedness on TV, just how could a young dancing girl with big dreams possibly be the most evil thing?

.

Because Satan, “the god of this world”, is a master at selling dreams to the naïve people of this world. Oh yes, the characters may change from show to show. And the dreams may change from show to show. But this talking idol, called television (“talking image”), has a dream or an idol, or a lust and an earthly desire just tailor-made for you and for me and for everyone else!

.

This is the great evil on television!

.

.

THE PROMISED LAND IS WAITING FOR YOU

.

Well, the Good News is, that God is calling us to renounce this world of selfish desires, and begin our upward, Heavenward sojourn out of this present world.

.

And He is calling each and every man, woman, and child who is willing to let go of this deceitful world of selfish and proud dreams, in trade for a world that has no end. A world in which agape love reigns supreme! A joy-filled land in which we will never grow old, but be forever young!

.

And in that Promised Land, we will live forever there with Jesus, who is the very essence of goodness, kindness, truth, and unselfish love!

“And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman…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…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, 3, 15

.

LOCATION…

.

The Wave Constellation is primarily comprised of the Auriga Constellation plus one star from Taurus, plus one more star. The Winter Constellations are depicted in this below sketch to the right, and shows this constellation group as they are seen in early winter, as they rise in the eastern skies. The Woman is in the north. The Dragon and Orion are farther south from the Woman.

.

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.

(Editor’s note: It is impossible to make this chart accurate, and visually correct, because the dome effect of the sky makes these constellations look different than they appear when placed on flat paper.)

Daily Devotional, Year 3 – December 8 (Daniel 2:45: “A Kingdom Divided Cannot Stand!”)

By admin On December 29th, 2017

.

Daily Devotional, Year 3 – December 8

.

Daniel 2:45:

.

“A Kingdom Divided Cannot Stand!”

.

In that incredible little book of Daniel is the true account of King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream of that great image whose head was made of gold, and chest and arms of silver, and loins of brass, legs of iron, and feet and toes of iron mixed with clay.

.

And at the last of that dream, a rock, not cut with hands smote the feet of that image, and caused the entire image to blow away as if made of chaff.

.

Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream – www.freebibleimages.org

.

A SEEMINGLY DOUBLE-ENTENDRE

.

Now, without getting too technical, this dream was a prophecy concerning the future history of the Church, right down to the very end of time.

.

But, as with many Bible prophecies, the world seems to bleed through this prophecy.

.

Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream – www.freebibleimages.org

.

MANKIND DEVOLVES, NOT EVOLVES

.

Now, one aspect of this prophecy is that the condition of Mankind seems to devolve, symbolized by the head being of gold, then turns to silver, then to brass, then to iron, and finally to the feet of iron mingled with potter’s clay. In other words, what began as the most precious of all metals, gold, ended with nothing more than iron mingled with miry clay.

.

But in the days of the feet of this great image, a rock smote those feet, breaking the entire image into pieces, and that rock became a great mountain which filled the entire earth.

.

Of course this dream of Nebuchadnezzar’s was all symbolic. And it is not difficult to discern that it represents God’s kingdom finally destroying Satan’s kingdom of men.

.

Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream – Wikipedia – US Public Domain

.

LOVE FINALLY TRIUMPHS OVER SELFISHNESS!

.

Now the point of this devotional is to focus on the feet and toes of this image, and the rock that smote them, causing the entire image to break into pieces which became as chaff in the wind.

.

But in attempt to keep this all simple, let it be said that this seems to be speaking of how God’s kingdom will finally annihilate Satan’s kingdom.

.

Nebuchadnezzars dream – www.christart.com – limited use permit

.

MANKIND PULLING APART

.

But these two feet with their ten toes seem to allude to the present condition of Mankind. Oh yes, the Church is in view here. But as already said, the world seems to bleed through this prophecy.

.

The reason why this seems so relevant today, is that we are now seeing the world being divided into two major camps. Yes, just as this image had a left foot and a right foot, so also we see two great divisions in the world, the so-called “conservatives/capitalists” and the “progressives/socialists”. They even refer to themselves as “The Left” and “The Right”.

.

And even further, just as these two power groups in the world are always at odds, one with another, so also, these two feet made of iron and clay…“shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.” Daniel 2:43

.

.

FEET & TOES APPARENTLY THE WORLD & CHURCH

.

Okay, so as already stated, this really seems to be speaking of the Church in the last days, and how it has mingled itself with the world. And the ten toes of this image appear to symbolize both the apostate portion of the Church, as well as The Ten Commandments. In other words, in Scripture, the number “10” has a symbolic significance, not only representing the Ten Commandments, but also The Ten Virgins, of Matthew 25, symbolizing the Church.

.

But this also seems to allude to today’s world in which we now are witnessing a pulling apart of various factions in the world. Yes, there appears to be a widening gap between the various social, political, as well as religious groups, sometimes even becoming hostile one against another.

.

And today, via the mass media, anyone can view all the bickering and battling going on between these various groups on a daily basis. Yes, the escalating war between Leftists and the Rightists is especially visible these days.

.

A KINGDOM DIVIDED

.

Thus, this entire world is becoming more divided on a daily basis: social groups, gender groups, ethnic groups, political groups, religious groups, and many other groups! It’s truly a divided world today!

.

And as Mark 3:24 says…“And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.”

.

Here in this above passage, Jesus is revealing the grim truth, that this world is ripe for judgment! A divided world cannot stand!

.

.

A WORLD RIPE FOR JUDGMENT!

.

And so, it is no coincidence that this rock comes crashing down on the world and breaks this world into pieces right at the time when the people of the world are divided in so many ways.

.

**And as one group rails against, opposes, and debates against the policies of the other group, a rock comes crashing down to smash into pieces this entire kingdom of selfishness, i.e., the World!**

.

And while each group busily attempts to convert the rest of the world into their own particular camp, this rock seemingly comes out of nowhere and demolishes all the philosophies, all the maxims, and all the various ideologies that this rebellious world has been propagating through the years and even through the long centuries!

.

.

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY!”

Proverbs 25:25

.

And of course, the Good News about all this is that God’s kingdom of unselfish love finally wins in the end!

.

And all those who desire to be on the winning team are invited to join up with this ever-growing Heavenward throng who are now renouncing this hopeless world!

.

And all those who are discouraged with this ugly and hopeless world, are encouraged to begin the Heaven-ward sojourn out of this mess, onward and upward into the glorious Promised Land, in which we will be forever happy! Forever young!

THE WOMAN ON THE ALTAR CONSTELLATION

.

“Let my prayer

.

be set forth

.

before Thee as incense;

.

and the lifting up

.

of my hands

.

as the evening sacrifice.”

.

Psalm 142:2

.

LOCATING THIS CONSTELLATION…

.

This “Golden Altar” Constellation is only seen in winter through spring, in mid-sky. It is to the south of the “Fleeing Woman Constellation” (AKA Ursa Major or The Big Dipper).

.

The “Fleeing Woman of Revelation 12” Constellation is in the northeastern sky in this sketch. You would be facing east and looking very high up almost to mid-sky to see this constellation group this way. The altar is farther south but still in the eastern sky. This altar itself is commonly known as “Leo Major“, with the smoke rising being “Leo Minor“.

.

A little farther down this page is the sketch of this same constellation in the latter part of winter, when you look at them facing westward. You will notice that what looked like Gospel seed being cast from her left hand and left foot (see “Woman of Revelation 12-The Fleeing Woman” article for explanation of casting “Gospel Seed”) now appears like smoke or incense rising from the altar. It is not clear why the altar is sideways in back of the Woman. It would make more sense if it were directly under the Woman. However, the Lord must have some spiritual truth to convey concerning this odd positioning of the Altar. 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.

.

THE ZODIAC CONSTELLATION NAMES

It is not the purpose of www.theheavensdeclare.net to give any validity to the Zodiac or any pagan deities. But the common names of many constellations (such as Scorpio or Sagittarius, etc.), must be given, solely for the purpose of locating them on star-charts.

Daily Devotional, Year 3 – December 7 (The False Prophet, Part 23: “The Highway To Hell Is Paved With Good Works!”)

By admin On December 27th, 2017

.

Daily Devotional, Year 3 – December 7

.

The False Prophet,

.

Part 23:

“The Highway To Hell Is Paved With Good Works!”

To read Part 1 of this series, click here… “JANUARY 26 (The False Prophet, Part 1: Lying Eyes!)”

.

“Enter ye in at the strait gate:

for wide is the gate, and broad is the way,

that leadeth to destruction,

and many there be which go in thereat:”

Matthew 7:13

.

The Book of Luke reveals that in these last days… “And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations…And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.” Luke 21:25, 27

.

Yes, just prior to the Return of Christ, God promised that there would be signs in the sun, moon, and stars.

.

ABOVE PICTURE: Orion the Soldier and the Revelation 12 Dragon (Hyades & Pleiades, etc. – winter constellations – www.signsofheaven.org – not for commercial use

ABOVE PICTURE: Winter – Revelation 12 Woman with Eagle Wings (aka Ursa Major, including The Big Dipper)

.

THE BROAD WAY THAT LEADS TO DESTRUCTION

.

Well, that day, O Christian, has finally arrived! And one of the long afore-promised signs is the constellation group known as the Valley of Decision Constellation group. It is seen in the eastern skies in mid-summer to mid-fall.

.

This sign was vaguely alluded to in Joel… “And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come…Multitudes, multitudes in the Valley of Decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the Valley of Decision.” Joel 2:30, 31, & 3:14, 15

.

Now in this very complex constellation group, are two mountains which represent the Mount of Blessing (to the left, and north in the night sky) and the Mount of Cursing (the middle mountain), and the mountain furthest to the south is the “Babylon…O Destroying Mountain” (see Jeremiah 51:24, 25).

.

**Notice that this Destroying Mountain of Babylon has a long line traveling downward, directly into the Revelation 12 Dragon.**

.

**And this long line traveling downward is the constellation known as the Broad Way that Leads to Destruction. This Broad Way is comprised of stars from the Pisces Constellation.**

.

Valley of Decision Constellation Group

.

THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED?

.

One of the world’s poets wrote the following words…“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by,”

.

**Well, obviously he wasn’t speaking (at least, not knowingly) of the Broad Way that leads to destruction!**

.

Because, the Bible informs us that the Broad Way that leads to destruction is a heavily traveled road.

.

Fork in the road by Jonathan Billinger wikimedia share-alike license

.

“WHAT GOOD THING SHALL I DO, THAT I MAY HAVE ETERNAL LIFE?”

Matthew 19:16

.

Now, the reason for bringing this up is to reveal one reason why the Broad Way is so heavily traveled. Oh yes, many who travel this broad road do so for their very plain and simple lust for the pleasures of sin and selfishness.

.

But there are many moral churchgoers who are under the false belief that they are on the highway to Heaven, not realizing that they actually are on that Broad Way that leads to destruction!

.

And one reason they are so deceived, is because they place far much too confidence in some good work that they have performed.

.

For instance, there are many radio and television personalities who lead naïve listeners into the false notion that merely saying the so-called Sinner’s Prayer will gain them entrance into the Kingdom of Heaven. Or perhaps getting baptized, or joining a certain denomination, or attending church faithfully, or living a moral life, or any one of the many other Christian duties.

.

.

“THE KISSES OF AN ENEMY ARE DECEITFUL”

Proverbs 27:6

.

But beside these church duties, there are many other good works which deceive people.

.

For example, some people believe that because they are friendly and outgoing, that this somehow is proof that they are saved.

.

But think about it! Even some pets are more outgoing and friendly than other pets. It’s just the way that creatures are quite often, “hard-wired”, as the saying goes.

.

In other words, being friendly and outgoing does not necessarily prove that I am a Christian.

.

Woman With A Cat, by Renoir, 1885, www.wikiart.org US public domain

.

“(SATAN’S) MINISTERS ALSO…TRANSFORMED AS THE MINISTERS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS”

2nd Corinthians 11:14, 15

.

As a matter of fact, Satan often chooses friendly and outgoing people to become his so-called “ministers of righteousness” with the intent to infiltrate and infect some local church body with his or her world-loving ways.

.

And let’s face it! Many television (and radio) evangelists are extremely personable and charming and outgoing. And by this means, Satan can use these televangelists to bring in damnable heresies, thus deceiving the millions of more-or-less biblically-challenged and naïve followers.

.

.

MANY OTHER DECEPTIONS

.

Well, this is just one way that churchgoers are often deceived into believing that they are on the Highway to Heaven, when in truth, they are on the Broad Way that leads to destruction!

.

And there are many other good works that Satan will use to deceive the naïve church-world.

.

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY!”

Proverbs 25:25

.

But there is some very Good News in all this negativity. And that Good News is, that the door of Salvation is still open for any and every lost soul, who desires Salvation, to enter therein.

.

Oh yes, it is a strait gate. And yes, it is a narrow way.

.

But it is the only true way that will soon lead to life everlasting in a wonderful land known as the Promised Land.

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).

Daily Devotional, Year 3 – December 6th (Psalm 101, Part 1: “A Lesson On Television From Psalm 101”)

By admin On December 26th, 2017

.

Daily Devotional, Year 3 – December 6th

.

Psalm 101,

.

Part 1:

“A Lesson On Television From Psalm 101”

.

“Be not deceived:

evil communications corrupt good manners.”

1st Corinthians 15:33

.

When taking a course in college, one would naturally begin with a “101” course. “101” signifies a beginning course. “201” might be used to signify an intermediate course. “301” might signify a more advanced course.

.

And so, let’s just pretend that we are going to college, and we are going to attempt to get a degree in…say…“Overcoming The World”.

.

**Now let’s also pretend that it’s the first day of classes. And we walk into our classroom, and our first class is called, “Television 101”.**

.

And so, we sit down and the professor begins by writing on his chalkboard, the following Psalm…

.

Teacher writing on Chalkboard – cropped image – Wikimedia – Creative Commons Share-alike License 2.0

.

“Psalm 101”

.

“A Psalm of David.”

.

Okay, so this Psalm 101 is to be our lesson for today, and it is a Psalm of David. And we will study in reference to “Television”

.

“I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto Thee, O LORD, will I sing.”

.

These Psalms of David are the thoughts of David, who is a symbol of Christ!

.

But these Psalms can also convey the thoughts of the Christian.

.

And in this above verse, David is so happy with God’s government, which has the two pillars of truth: “Mercy and Judgment”.

.

.

VERSE 2

.

“I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way.”

.

Yes, this is the desire of every Christian: to behave wisely in Christlike perfection!

.

**That reminds us Ephesians 3:20, in which God says He can do far more in our lives than we can even imagine!**

.

“O when wilt Thou (God) come unto me?”

.

Yes, we each greatly desire for the deliverance from all our foolish ways!

.

“I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.”

.

And here in this above declaration, David is pronouncing his great desire and ambition in life and his daily determination: to walk in an unwavering love and obedience.

“I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes:”

.

How can I continue to watch TV with such statements as this above declaration?

.

“I hate the work of them that turn aside;”

.

How can I continue to watch TV, knowing that I am being entertained by those who have no love for God, or for the Bible? I should hate the evil works in the world and in the church! And so, why do I continue to daily feed on the sins of the world and the sins of the worldly church?

.

“…it shall not cleave (cling) to me.”

.

**How can I continue to watch TV, having such exhortations as this one? Because, by watching TV (or secular radio, magazines, etc.,) the evil works of sin are still clinging to me!**

VERSE 4

.

“A froward (crooked) heart shall depart from me:”

.

Realizing that most all of television has little love for Bible truth, how can I possibly allow such god-hating “visitors” to enter into the sanctuary of my home, via TV, radio, Internet, etc.?

.

“I will not know a wicked [person].”

.

The word, “person”, is a supplied word here, via the King James translators. And thus, this statement means much more than just a person. It also includes a wicked device, or a wicked message. But let’s not forget that “wicked”, according to the Bible is defined as anything not in harmony with the Bible.

VERSE 5

.

“Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off:”

.

So much of TV focuses on mockery and slander of people! And woe to us, if we allow our ears to enjoy hearing such vilification of others!

“him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.”

.

Pride is perhaps the most exalted quality that is pressed upon the viewers of TV: the advertisements, the various programming are literally dripping with pride, lust, and envy!

VERSE 6

.

“Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me:”

.

So-called “Christian” TV channels are extremely apostate, that even the best of programs are mingled with a world-loving undercurrent!

.

How long am I going to continue to drink in “Christian” TV’s “soured & tainted milk” of entry-level doctrines mingled with falsehood, instead of moving onward and upward to the “meat of the Word”, as we are commanded?

God does not accept a low-level service! Those who have one foot in the world, and one foot on the heavenly highway will never progress upward!

VERSE 7

.

“He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house:”

.

Here again, so much of secular and even so-called “Christian” programming is deceitful!

.

Yes, by avoiding the “hard sayings” of the Bible, as does “Christian” television, we are getting watered-down gospel!

.

“he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.”

.

Even the TV news is purposely censored largely in attempt to give the viewer what is known as, “political correctness”!

PSALM 101:8

.

“I will early destroy all the wicked of the land;”

.

Yes, God will destroy those who refuse to come out of this Babylonian world (and apostate church).

.

No, we cannot come totally out of the world. But we can come a good way out! Put the TV where it belongs!

(But if your spouse still wants to watch TV, then you must only remove YOURSELF from it, while continuing to pray for your family. Never force the consciences of others! However, if your spouse is in agreement, then TV can be eliminated while the children are still young, giving them more godly, alternative forms of entertainment)

.

“that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.”

.

The call goes out to every Christian… “Come out of her (the harlot church), My people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” Revelation 18:4.

.

Those who do not respond to this call to depart from the powerful influences of this high-tech world and high-tech church, will suffer the intense plagues promised here in Revelation 18:4!

***PSALM 101: A MESSAGE* *FOR THIS HOUR!***

.

Yes, it seems that Psalm 101 has a special message for those of us who are living in this very hour of fearful judgment.

.

The world is being mesmerized by the various forms of mass media!

.

And so, if any Christian has the desire to overcome the world, then of course, the very first place one would want to begin is by eliminating television, secular radio (and most so-called “Christian” radio, and non-Christian Internet, magazines, books, etc..)

.

LOCATION…

.

The Wave Constellation is primarily comprised of the Auriga Constellation plus one star from Taurus, plus one more star. The Winter Constellations are depicted in this below sketch to the right, and shows this constellation group as they are seen in early winter, as they rise in the eastern skies. The Woman is in the north. The Dragon and Orion are farther south from the Woman.

.

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.

(Editor’s note: It is impossible to make this chart accurate, and visually correct, because the dome effect of the sky makes these constellations look different than they appear when placed on flat paper.)

Daily Devotional, Year 3 – December 5 (The False Prophet & Beast, Part 22: “The 7th Head: An Adulterous Generation”)

By admin On December 26th, 2017

.

Daily Devotional, Year 3 – December 5

.

The False Prophet & Beast,

.

Part 22:

“The 7th Head: An Adulterous Generation”

To read Part 1 of this series, click here… “JANUARY 26 (The False Prophet, Part 1: Lying Eyes!)”

.

“The beast that thou sawest…

The seven heads are seven mountains,

on which the woman sitteth.

And there are seven kings:

five are fallen, and one is,

and the other is not yet come;

and when he cometh,

he must continue a short space.”

Revelation 17:8, 9

.

This Revelation 12 Dragon Constellation is spewing out its deadly waters which 7-stared waters parallel the 7 heads of the Antichrist Beast of Revelation 13 & 17

.

2nd BEAST’S 2 HORNS ALSO THE 6TH & 7TH HEADS OF THE 1ST BEAST

.

It must be stated that the 2nd Beast of Revelation 13, the False Prophet is also comprised of the 6th & 7th heads of the 1st Beast. And so, there is only one true Beast, the Antichrist Beast. And yet, the 2nd Beast was formed after the 1st Beast received his deadly wound by a sword at the end of the Dark Ages (that is, “the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God” {Ephesians 6:14-17}).

.

And to more fully understand the two beasts of Revelation 3, this website has many articles on this topic, such as August 26th: The False Prophet: (“And I beheld another beast (The False Prophet)”)

.

.

**In the previous articles concerning the 7th head of the 1st Beast of Revelation 13 (click here), the present-day church-world was the focus.**

.

And to be sure, this above passage from Revelation 17 which speaks of the 7 heads of the Beast is so ambiguous, that many just throw up their hands in despair when trying to understand it.

.

ABOVE PICTURE: The harlot city, Babylon, the apostate church-world – Burgkmair – 1523 AD – Wikimedia – US Public Domain

.

REVELATION ALSO CONCERNS THE SECULAR WORLD

.

But this tiny devotional is not the place to attempt to define what all those allegories are actually pointing to!

.

And though the Book of Revelation mostly concerns the church-world, it does seem that the world at large often bleeds through those pages.

.

In other words, while this prophecy concerning the 7th head of 1st Beast mostly concerns the church-world, there nevertheless seems to be a direct parallel to what we are now seeing in the secular world.

.

.

7TH HEAD = THE 7TH COMMANDMENT

.

The reason why this 7th head seems to allude to the world at large is because the number “7” reminds us of the 7th Commandment…“Thou shalt not commit adultery”.

.

Oh yes, the Bible often speaks of the spiritual adultery within the church-world. Few will dare argue that point.

.

Much to the contrary, most Christians freely admit that today’s church-world is steeped in sin.

.

TV – ABC-Good Morning America – Wikipedia – Share-alike License

.

A WORLD NOW STEEPED IN SIN

.

But the interesting thing is, while at the same time we see the decadent spiritual condition in the Church, we also behold a literal counterpart occurring simultaneously in the world.

.

And aren’t we saddened, dismayed and even confounded at how those once-great societies which so lovingly and enthusiastically embraced the Christian Reformation, have now devolved into such decadence and licentiousness and false religions?

.

And don’t we stand in wonderment to behold the moral standards just keep getting lowered on a daily basis?

.

.

A WAKE-UP CALL FOR ANYONE WITH AN EAR TO HEAR!

.

Well, what’s the point of exposing the sins of unbelievers? After all, they make no profession of loving or serving God.

.

And to be sure, our sins, when weighed in the balances, are every bit as great as the world’s sins, in the eyes of the Searcher of All Hearts!

.

GABRIEL’S TRUMPET NOW SOUNDING!

.

On the other hand, this moral pandemic free-fall which is now occurring, should be an alarming wake-up call that we have truly arrived at the end.

.

And the fact that the 7th head of the beast is the very last head of that Antichrist monster, then it only puts an exclamation mark on just where we are in time! We’ve reached the end.

.

Yes, sexual immorality was the “last straw” for the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, as far as God was concerned. And now we are seeing sexual immorality becoming a moral cancer upon the whole world!

.

And this cancer is already spreading its poisonous and deadly tentacles into the church-world.

.

TIME TO GET ON BOARD THE ARK OF SALVATION!

.

Well, believe it or not, in spite of this dismal report, there remains some Good News!

.

After all, it is still the day of Salvation.

.

And there is still time enough for any and every lost soul who wants to escape this rapidly sinking Titanic World, to turn to the One whose hand is stretched out still to save!

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).

Daily Devotional, Year 3 – December 4 (Satan’s Number 8, Part 4: “The Cuttlefish’s 8 Deadly Arms!”)

By admin On December 24th, 2017

.

Today’s Devotional, Year 3 – December 4

.

Satan’s Number “8”

.

Part 4:

“Cuttlefish’s 8 Deadly Arms!”

To read part 1, click here… July 26th (Satan’s Number “8”)

.

Most insects have six legs. And for those who have curious minds, the question comes down: “Why do most insects have six legs?”

.

Well, scientists might attempt to give some scientific explanation for why.

.

But the question might also be asked: “Why does the spider have eight legs?”

.

And again, scientists may have a complicated answer for that question too!

.

Spider – Wikipedia – Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.5 Generic license

.

SIX: THE NUMBER OF MAN

.

But for the Creationist, the answer is simple. The number six is the number of Man. And the number eight is the number of Satan.

.

And so, that is why spiders catch little bugs in their nets, and not the other way around. Because the spider web is a perfect illustration of Satan’s snares, which he uses to ensnare the souls of men.

.

Mark of the beast – pub. dom. – Wikipedia

.

THE BEAST & THE DRAGON

.

Now, just look at the Bible, and you will see this number eight being used to describe Satan.

.

Listen… “And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads (of the Antichrist beast) are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is THE EIGHTH, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.” Revelation 17:9-11

.

So, here is the Antichrist Beast. And his seven heads represent seven mountains, and seven kings. But the Beast himself is the eighth.

.

And of course, this beast is made in image of the Revelation 12 Dragon. And so, the Beast and the Dragon are made in the same image!

.

.

JESUS EXPLAINS THE NUMBER, “8”

.

Okay, so what is the significance of the number eight? Just what spiritual truth does the number eight represent?

.

Perhaps a parabolic truth which Jesus told the Pharisees will make these things clearer.

.

Listen…

“When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man,

he walks through dry places, seeking rest;

and finding none, he saith,

I will return unto my house whence I came out.

And when he comes, he finds it swept and garnished.

Then goes he, and takes to him seven other spirits

more wicked than himself;

and they enter in, and dwell there:

and the last state of that man is worse than the first.”

Luke 11:24-26

.

Brooklyn Museum – The Pharisees Question Jesus – James Tissot – US Public Domain – Wikimedia

.

NUMBER “7”, A RELIGIOUS NUMBER

.

So, this little illustration presents a great big truth. Yes, Jesus was telling the Pharisees this account, so as to illustrate how Satan can take some secular person, and turn him into a much more evil person.

.

And this story was given to the Pharisees to illustrate their very own condition! When a person is merely an abject unbeliever, he only has one evil spirit: an unclean spirit at that! But should that same man become religious, but with no true conversion, then Satan moves back in, bringing seven more religious devils with him (not literally 7 more devils, but figuratively)! And now the man was far worse off than when he was merely a worldling!

.

Now he is a religious man, symbolized by the addition of 7 devils. Oh yes, he is still unconverted! But Satan has now given him what 2nd Corinthians 4:4 reveals as, “a form of godliness”, but with merely a counterfeit “holy spirit”! He’s now a moralist!

.

And so, this is the big point of the number eight. It is 7 + 1. Satan plus his counterfeit religiosity, represented by God’s number of spiritual rest, “7”.

CUTTLEFISH: THE ULTIMATE IMPOSTORS!

.

One of the most amazing creatures ever created is the Cuttlefish! This amazing creature…“has eight arms, and two tentacles furnished with denticulated suckers, with which they secure their prey.” (Info provided by Wikipedia)

.

The reason why this creature is so incredible, is that whatever the Cuttlefish passes over, it instantly begins to change into the same color and shape of that undersea object!

.

And so, its enemies cannot easily detect the camouflaged Cuttlefish!

.

Cuttlefish.ogv – cropped image – Wikipedia – Creative Commons License

.

CUTTLEFISH: SYMBOL OF SATAN

.

Well, God has created this little eight-arm predator to give us further insight into the inner working of the kingdom of Satan.

(As this little 26 second video below shows, the Cuttlefish has the ability to paralyze his potential victims, by using his hypnotizing strobe-light effect! Amazing!)

.

Most certainly, Satan and his unseen minions love to make themselves invisible! And then with strobe-like flashes, Satanic forces mesmerize us with the glittering tinsel-like treasures and earthy pleasures!

.

This is the manner in which, they can deceptively work their misery and woe upon this unsuspecting world!

.

Yes, without Satan’s deceptions and mesmerizing allurements, the world’s inhabitants would become alarmed, which would cause us to rebel against Satan’s kingdom, as we flee to God for refuge and safety!

.

SATAN WORKS UNDERCOVER

.

Now, God has created this amazing creature’s camouflaging abilities, to illustrate how Satan works undercover within the Church!

.

Listen… “And then shall that Wicked be revealed…Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,” 2nd Thessalonians 2:8, 9 (condensed)

.

As this above passage reveals, Satan will counterfeit the workings of God, to deceive God’s people, until the day he is revealed to God’s Elect!

SEVEN HEADS 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.” Revelation 12

.

This Dragon Constellation does not have 7 heads and 10 horns and 7 crowns, as this above verse speaks of. But the wave of water coming out of the Dragon’s mouth has these numbers, 7 and 10, according to the brightness of the stars which comprise the wave of water. That is, this wave of water has 10 basic stars (#1 thru #10). But the main body is comprised of 7 stars, leaving three lesser stars at the tip of the wave (#’s 8, 9, 10). So we have a 7/3 division in the star-count on this wave of water. You can somewhat see this in the sketch to the right. Just notice that the main body of this wave has 7 stars (#1 thru #7). But the very tip of the curl has 3 little stars (#’s 8, 9, 10). (there are actually 7 more very faint stars in a long string, just under the curl as well, stars: a, b, c, d, e, f, g, which brings the total number of stars to 17.)

.

So God has created this wave of water to give us much insight into just what those heads and horns and crowns all represent on the Revelation 13 Beast.

.

For details on this phenomenon of the wave, just go to “Flood Waters of Satan” article.

.

Daily Devotional, Year 3 – December 3 (How Do I Become A Disciple of Jesus?)

Today’s Devotional, Year 3, December 3

.

How Do I Become A Disciple of Jesus?

Jesus Calls Disciples – Wikimedia – US Public Domain

.

Jesus is calling out to every man, woman, and child… “go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow Me.” Matthew 19:21

.

This great call has been going out to the world for almost 2,000 years now!

.

And through the ages, there have been many who have responded to this call!

.

.

SOMETHING’S MISSING HERE!

.

But sadly, today’s churches are filled with many who faithfully attend church each week, giving tithes, kneeling for prayer, serving on committees and going through all the motions of being a Christian.

.

And yet, there is something missing. There just doesn’t seem to be the presence of that Holy Fire!

.

Oh yes, we may speak in tongues!

.

We may do our 15 minute Bible study each morning!

.

We may say our prayers!

.

We may hand out religious tracts!

.

.

WORLDLY THOUGHTS

.

But our thoughts are just not on God.

.

Because, as soon as we close our Bible in the morning, we quickly forget about God’s Word, and begin to fill our mind with all the cares and pleasures which the world floods upon us!

.

And we go about our day, pursuing all the things that our selfish heart’s desire! Our careers, our hobbies, our favorite TV shows, our games, our curious books of science, or romance, or travel, or a vast array of other time-consuming, energy-sapping, Spirit-quenching pursuits, all to the neglect of God’s great commission!

.

Yes, we neglect His great commission for His people to purify our hearts and conform our lives into Christ’s glorious image!

.

So what is the problem? Where have we gone astray?

.

“THEY FORSOOK ALL & FOLLOWED HIM”

.

You see, in the Gospel of Luke, is found the account of Jesus calling Peter, John and James and Andrew.

.

When Jesus called those disciples, it is written…“And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed Him.” Luke 5:11.

.

Yes, those disciples totally forsook the pleasures and pursuits of the world, and followed Jesus.

.

.

FORSAKING ALL!

.

Listen… “So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be My disciple!” Luke 14:33

.

This incredible verse from Luke 14:33 reveals the reason why most church-goers never truly become “Born Again”! We have never received the gift of Salvation that would have resulted in our making that total commitment: that “forsaking all”, which is required to follow Jesus as one of His disciples

.

Listen again… “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” Matthew 6:24

.

Prayer – USMC – Wikimedia – US Govt. Public Domain

.

WE ARE DISCIPLES OF JESUS TOO!

.

Oh well, Christ may not be calling us to literally forsake all our belongings, as did those early disciples!

.

No, but Christ is calling us to forsake the riches of this world in our heart!

.

The heart is where our true change occurs!

.

And though we must work and support our family, and try to provide for their needs and happiness, yet when a man, woman, or child becomes a true disciple of Jesus, God places within our heart, new desires, new aspirations, new goals!

.

Listen… “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” 2nd Corinthians 5:17.

.

This change occurs within our heart!

“These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.” Hebrews 11:13

.

Yes, when God truly gives us a new heart, we become a changed person! A new creation!

.

Now, instead of pursuing all the old selfish pleasures and aspirations of this fallen world, we instead begin to climb that gently ascending pathway which has long been leading Pilgrims out of this City of Destruction world, onward and upward to that Celestial City of God!

.

Oh yes, we still work and provide for the needs and contentment of our family.

.

But though our feet still touch this terra-not-so-firma, yet our hearts have been translated into the heavenly Throne-Room, where Christ sits at the right hand of God!

.

ABOVE PICTURE: Most Holy Place – Signs Of Heaven

.

TRADING EARTH FOR HEAVEN!

.

And though we may retain our earthly possessions, nevertheless, our new heart can still sing out to all the world, that little praise song…

.

“Turn your eyes upon Jesus, Look full in His wonderful face, And the things of this world will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace!”

.

Yes, as this song reveals, the more intently we focus our eyes upon Jesus, the more that the glittering trinkets of this world will lose their luster!

.

And instead, the treasures of Heaven, the kindness, the patience, the meekness, the wisdom, the purity of heart, the faith, the joy, and the hopeful anticipation of the forever and soon-coming Promised Land, and the Agape Love of Jesus for all Mankind, will daily grow brighter and more precious to the Believer!

.

THE PRESCRIPTION FOR VICTORY!

.

And so, My Dear Darling Soul, if I do not possess this kind of relationship with Jesus; if these aforementioned treasures of Heaven seem out of reach; and if I am weary of the selfish, the fickle, and all the loveless disregard that this world has to offer; and if I am heavily burdened with my own sin, then I must take the following prescription which the great Physician prescribes for every sin-sick soul…

.

Listen… “know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God…Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He shall lift you up.” James 4:3, 6, 8-10:

.

As we read this letter by James, God points out our many failings. And until we can read that epistle and not feel condemned by it, we must continue to humble ourselves before God, just as David did, as shown in this old picture.

.

But God even gives us joy in the midst of our sorrowful repentance!

.

.

VICTORY COMES NOT INSTANTLY

.

No, God is too wise to give us instant victory over this world.

.

And we may have to keep praying for Salvation, for weeks, or even many pain-filled months!

.

But in the meanwhile, I can pray for the strength to study my Bible, and to contemplate its life-giving words through my day. And I can begin to turn away from all those things which have interfered with my having a total devotion to Jesus!

.

And I can begin to live a life of seeking after the Lord, as is written… “And ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13

.

Yes, this above verse from Jeremiah is really at the heart of our problem with God. We have allowed the Devil to cast many other stumbling blocks across our pathway, which have intertwined our hearts to this world!

.

But now we must clear away all the rubbish, and make plain and smooth the true pathway to the City of our God!

.

.

Listen… “The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness,

.

Prepare ye the way of the LORD,

.

make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

.

Every valley shall be exalted,

.

and every mountain and hill shall be made low:

.

and the crooked shall be made straight,

.

and the rough places plain:

.

And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed,

.

and all flesh shall see it together:

.

for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.”

.

Isaiah 40:3-5

.

And so, dear Stranger & Pilgrim! As this passage proclaims, we must get busy making a true and straight and level pathway for our Soon-Coming King!

.

And that pathway is in our own heart!

***FINALLY WALKING UPWARD* INTO THE HIGHWAYS *OF ETERNITY***

.

Day by day, you will find yourself walking, like the Disciples, spreading the precious Gospel seed wherever the Spirit leads. Taking the lovely name of Jesus, with every word spoken. Walking through this sin-darkened world, witnessing to those who take notice that of a truth, Jesus is present within you. Even like faithful Enoch, walking through the highways and byways of life in this world, spreading the Gospel-seed of unpretentious love.

.

Day by day, you will become more and more closed in with God. Moment by moment, your heart will become intertwined with God’s heart, eventually two hearts beating as one heart.And just like Enoch, when the appointed time of sojourning on earth is finally done…you will walk onward…and upward…and into the highways and byways of eternity. (“And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.” Genesis 5:24).

Daily Devotional, Year 3 – December 2

.

Cuttlefish & The False Prophet,

.

Part 13:

“And He Spake as a Dragon…Spewing Hateful, Racial Madness!”

To read Part 1 of this “And He Spake As A Dragon” series, click here…January 11 (Cuttlefish & The False Prophet, “And He Spake As A Dragon!”)

.

“And I beheld another beast

coming up out of the earth;

and he had two horns like a lamb,

and he spake as a dragon.“

Revelation 13:11

.

CUTTLEFISH: THE ULTIMATE IMPOSTORS!

.

One of the most amazing creatures ever created is the Cuttlefish!

.

The reason why this creature is so incredible, is that it’s built-in radar system simply surveys its surroundings and instantly changes its body to imitate that environment!

.

As a matter of fact, whatever the Cuttlefish passes over, it instantly begins to change into the same color and shape, of that undersea object!

.

.

CUTTLEFISH: SYMBOL OF SATAN

.

Well, God has created this little predator to give us further insight into the inner-working of the kingdom of Satan.

(As this little 26 second video below shows, the Cuttlefish has the ability to paralyze his potential victims, by using his hypnotizing strobe-light effect! Amazing!)

.

Certainly Satan and his unseen armies love to make themselves invisible! That way, they can work their misery and woe upon this unsuspecting world, without its inhabitants becoming alarmed, causing us to rebel against Satan’s kingdom, as we flee to God!

.

And isn’t true that the pleasures and riches of this world, like the cuttlefish’s strobe-hypnotizer, have a mesmerizing effect upon us?

.

“THE KISSES OF AN ENEMY ARE DECEITFUL!”

Proverbs 27:6

.

Truly it can be said, we live in a “Cuttlefish World”.

.

Yes, like that incredible impostor, this world was changed into a seemingly benign and beneficent society to a great degree. Oh yes, there has always been many underlying dangers and evils lurking out there!

.

“And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon”

Revelation 13:11

.

This nation originally came “up out of the earth”, in the wilderness of North America: an entirely new nation founded to become a safe-haven of refuge for those escaping the long siege by the tyrannical church-state-beast-system during the Dark Ages of Europe.

.

And God gave this fledgling nation a constitution based on the principle of liberty of conscience and freedom of political/religious speech.

.

And this nation, being rich in that which comes from the earth, began to prosper. As a matter of fact, this nation became the source of seemingly every conceivable innovation, which provided the engine for the incredible industrial revolution!

.

And like the proverbial “rocket-ship”, America produced a society like no other in history, soaring to incredible heights, leading other nations to also become veritable cornucopian super-societies!

.

THE EVENTUAL TRIUMPH OF THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION

.

Any honest-hearted individual will testify that, like none of the other many nations on earth which once engaged in racism/slavery, the USA has labored harder and accomplished more to eradicate racism and achieved equal rights under the law for all people!

.

Our current generation hates the racism of the past centuries, and are ashamed of the fact that a certain percentage of Americans once freely engaged in racist behaviors, back in those days.

.

.

NEO-RACIAL MADNESS NOW RISING UP!

.

But right now, many Americans are confounded and even amazed at the current state of affairs, especially considering how hard this generation strove to undo the evils which often existed in past generations!

.

Virtually all we now see and hear on our high-tech devices, is endless and constant finger-pointing and accusations of racism against various color-groups, one or two more than others!

.

“…the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness (insanity) is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead”

Ecclesiastes 9:3 (Parenthetical comment by Editor)

.

The rhetoric and anger keep increasing daily!

.

And angry words have escalated into violence!

.

Many schools are now teaching children to mistrust, even despise one-another based on skin-color!

.

Little children are being taught that this nation was built on racism and slavery.

.

Even inanimate objects, trees, highways, higher math, etc., now being declared as “Racist”!

MANY AMERICANS HATED SLAVERY

.

And while a certain percentage of Americans once engaged in slavery, by no means did the vast majority engage in such despicable practices!

.

As a matter of fact, many Americans, especially true Believers, opposed slavery and many fought to end slavery, and eventually outlawed slavery!

.

THE FALSE PROPHET: “TWO HORNS LIKE A LAMB & SPEAKS AS A DRAGON”

.

Well, this article began by revealing that this nation has become the fulfillment of the long-foretold 2nd Beast of Revelation 13:11…The False Prophet with, “two horns like a lamb, and spoke as a dragon”.

.

Yes, even though this nation was founded upon godly principles, it has slowly morphed into an antichrist beast. And America is certainly speaking as the prophesied dragon!

.

Of course, the Book of Revelation reveals the great Dragon to be none other than Satan, also called, The Devil.

ABOVE PICTURE: Satan, The False Prophet who now in these last days destroys the churches via a world-loving prosperity-driven false gospel – www.signsofheaven.org

.

THE DEMONIC MAJOR MEDIA INCITES HATRED

.

And so, it should be no surprise to those who realize these things, that what we are now seeing is that Lamb-like False Prophet, yet speaking like a satanic dragon, as he ratchets up the hate-filled insanity amongst the unsaved general populace, via the major media!

.

**After all, the unsaved man, woman, or child are indwelt by an antichrist spirit, that is, “the spirit which now worketh in the children of disobedience” (Ephesians 2:2, 3).**

.

Yes, this “antichrist…spirit of error”, spoken in 1st John, indwells every unsaved individual and within every unsaved churchgoer. And this is why we are witnessing such a vast tidal-wave of hateful rhetoric, coming at us from the various media, television, radio, Internet, printed-page, etc.. The unsaved world is antichrist in nature.

The Yellow Press by L.M. Glackens

.

“Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it”

Isaiah 13:9

.

And why are all these things happening right now? Simple! It is now officially, the long-foretold, “Day of The Lord”. It is now the grand finale of Satan’s long reign upon Earth. And he has been permitted to bring the entire world into what Revelation 16 refers to as Armageddon…the last battle.

.

And speaking of the end, Jesus said to His disciples…“And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold” Matthew 24:12

.

Yes, prophecy is rapidly fulfilling! And we can now readily see the nations becoming hateful and angry, just as Revelation 11:18 prophesied…“And the nations were angry, and Thy wrath is come”! Political/social/religious unrest is not only confined to America, but exists and thrives, pretty much the world over, in one form or another!

GOD’S CUP OF FURY, WHICH CAUSES MASS INSANITY

.

Listen to this passage concerning the end-times…

“For thus saith the LORD God of Israel unto me (Jeremiah);

Take the wine cup of this fury at My hand,

and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it.

And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad (many versions use the term, “insane”),

because of the sword that I will send among them…

for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth,

saith the LORD of hosts.”

Jeremiah 25:15, 16

.

Here we see that today’s craziness did not take the Lord by surprise. No, just the opposite! God prophesied that the mass-insanity we now witness is the result of God’s fury upon the world (and the apostate church-world).

.

Prophet Jeremiah – www.christianimagesource.org – Public Domain

.

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY”

Proverbs 25:25

.

Well, what’s the Good News, if any?

.

Is there any hope to be found in this hopelessly crazy, confused, and angry world?

.

Yes, yes, yes!!! There is much hope for any man, woman, or child, who realizes that the only escape route out of this pandemic madness is to renounce this present world, and begin the upward journey out of this “City of Destruction” (as John Bunyan called it in Pilgrim’s Progress), and continues onward and upward to “The Celestial City of God” (also named in that same book)!

.

And when we all get there, we will be delighted to discover a world in which true brotherly love reigns supreme! And there will be no cracks in the bells of liberty which ring daily in that Promised Land (The New Heaven and New Earth)!

.

And there we will live forevermore!

.

Forever happy…

.

forever peace-filled…

.

and forever young!

LOCATING THIS CONSTELLATION GROUP…

.

*“Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.” Micah 4:**1, 2*

Valley of Decision + O Destroying Mountain Constellation Group

.

Look eastward in the early summer through fall. Find the Cassiopeia Constellation. Cassiopeia is the Mount of Blessing. In this sketch, it is the farthest mountain to the left. In the sky, it is the northernmost of these three mountains when facing eastward. It somewhat resembles a pyramid, as do the other two.

.

Then find the second pyramid to its right (south).

.

Then go a little further south to the next third pyramid. The third snow-cap is the Destroying Mountain Constellation.

.

These three pyramids are the snow-capped portion of these three mountains in this sketch. (of course, you won’t see the snow-caps in the sky. They are just an embellishment in this sketch to present a concept-EDITOR).

.

THE VALLEY OF DECISION CONSTELLATION GROUP.

Valley of Decision & O Destroying Mtn. Constellations

.

They appear in mid-summer in the eastern skies in pre-dawn hours. These are made of Cassiopeia (mount on left), and various stars from the Andromeda Constellation (valley) and Pegasus (Mount of Cursing (middle mount) and the “Destroying Mountain” (right)), and Pisces (“The Broad Way to Hell”). The galaxy which appears to be climbing the Mountain of Blessing is the Andromeda Galaxy.

.

The above Wikipedia star-chart shows this amazing constellation group as it appears from June to fall, just prior to the winter constellation group. Actually, these Valley of Decision Constellations appear in early summer in the pre-dawn hours. (Editor of this website has sketched in this constellation group onto this above Wikipedia star-chart.)

Daily Devotional, Year 3 – December 1 (Get On-Board the Ark!)

By admin On December 21st, 2017

.

Daily Devotional, Year 3 – December 1

.

Get On-Board the Ark!

.

A certain little boy did not like to clean up his own bedroom. And his mother tried and tried to get him to clean it up. But the little boy didn’t want to do it.

.

Well, finally the day arrived when the mother decided it was time to let the little boy live in his own squalor! And so, she just closed his bedroom door and let him live in the world of his own making!

.

Lego mess – cropped image – Wikipedia – Creative Commons License

.

“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”

Isaiah 5:20

.

And speaking of living in squalor, what in the world is going on today!?!

.

Yes, the world seems to be going crazy! Things are now topsy-turvy! Good is now being called evil, and evil, good!

.

So, what in the world is going on!?!

.

Well, perhaps this next verse reveals what is going on… “And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.” Matthew 24:12

.

Yes, this verse explains a lot! It’s definitely a prophecy concerning today’s current state of affairs! Iniquity certainly is abounding, wouldn’t you agree?

.

And yet, it still doesn’t explain why God is allowing all this pandemic mayhem to occur.

.

Vespucio Norte Highway after 2010 earthquake – cropped image – wikimedia commons – share-alike license

.

GOD’S WRATH: LIVING IN OUR OWN SQUALOR

.

So why is God allowing all the current evil in the world?

.

Listen… “For the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven

.

***against all ungodliness and* *unrighteousness of men,***

.

who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

.

Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness

.

through the lusts of their own hearts,

.

*to dishonour t**heir own bodies between themselves:*”

Romans 1:18, 24, 25

.

So, here’s the reason why God is letting us have this Helter-Skelter world we currently live in!

.

But no, this societal collapse will not bring about God’s wrath! This IS God’s wrath!

.

**But God is merely allowing Earth’s inhabitants to have our own way! He has, in essence, “closed the bedroom door”, and is allowing us to live in the world of our own making!**

.

Burning Man – 2013 -Chapel – cropped and altered image – Wikimedia – Creative Commons License

.

GOVERNMENT GONE WILD!

.

But what about our government’s inability to operate on a budget, and is printing money and borrowing in order to stay afloat? Is this also God’s judgment?

.

And what about our government allowing the courts to ignore the rule of law, and purposely breaking the law in many different areas of society?

.

**And the current two-tiered law enforcement system which persecutes those who possess “the wrong” political views?**

.

And what about false religion rising to power in these nations which once embraced the Christian Reformation? What’s going on!?!

.

Listen… “so shall the LORD bring upon you all evil things, until He have destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.” Joshua 23:15

.

So yes, what we are seeing today in today’s world, are the judgments of God against sin-loving societies!

.

Thanksgiving – Brascome – Wikipedia – Public Domain

.

CHURCHES ALSO GONE WILD?

.

Are God’s judgments the reason why the churches are beginning to accept the same immorality that we see in society?

.

Is this why the secular atheists are now indoctrinating our children into the same sins which are prevalent in society?

.

And is this why God has given us over to the itching-ear prosperity-driven gospels which now are being preached in today’s churches?

.

Listen… “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

.

Yes, this passage speaks of the time when God’s wrath is poured out upon His churches, leaving them destitute of His Spirit. And of course, the result is that the itching ears will prevail in what is being taught in place of sound doctrine!

.

.

HABAKKUK SAYS “RUN”!

.

So, what are we to do about all this situation? Where can we flee? How do we escape the great wrath of God, which He is now pouring out on this and other former Christian nations?

.

Listen… “Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth… And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.” Habakkuk 1:4 & 2:2

.

So, this abbreviated passage by the Prophet, Habakkuk, spells out the problem, as well as the solution. The problem, as most of us are aware, is that we have been overrun by Chaldeans (unbelievers in the world and “make-believers” in the churches).

.

PICTURE – Constellation- Woman of Revelation 12 flees to the mountains Mark 13:14 This is not a star-chart, but merely a concept picture, but made up of real constellations (Ursa Major & Auriga, Hyades, etc…, howbeit not in their actual positions in the night-sky)

.

“…ASSEMBLING OF OURSELVES TOGETHER…”

.

But we have a problem! God tells us that we should not… “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.” Hebrews 10:25

.

Church Attendance – www.thebiblerevival.com – Public Domain

.

AS WE SEE WHAT DAY APPROACHING?

.

So, we cannot flee! After all, we are to be, “not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.”

.

But wait a minute! It says we are to do this all the more “as we see the day approaching!”

.

And so, the question is, “As we see WHAT day approaching?”

.

.

“FLEE TO THE MOUNTAINS!”

.

Listen… “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 24:15-18

.

So, this is the day that we will see approaching!

.

And this very day will be the hour that we must flee!

.

.

ARK DOOR STILL OPEN!

.

And this is the Good News!

.

Oh yes, God’s judgments are now beginning to fall all around us!

.

But God has provided a place of refuge and safety for us and our children!

.

And God has written a great sign in the heavens of the Revelation 12 Woman fleeing from the Revelation 12 Dragon!

.

And in that heavenly scenario is a picture of the place of refuge, in which the woman is fleeing!

.

The Narrow Gate! This is where we must flee!

.

The Narrow Gate!

CASTOR AND POLLUX

.

“And after three months we departed

.

in a ship of Alexandria,

.

which had wintered in the isle,

.

whose sign was Castor and Pollux.”

Acts 28:11

.

LOCATING THIS GROUP…

.

These two sketches below are the same picture, one with stars only, the other with embellishments. These stars appear more or less like this when they are in the western sky, just before they sink below the western horizon (please excuse the less-than 100% accurate sketch). At the top of the sketches in the center is the Big Dipper. But with other surrounding stars, the Big Dipper is known as Ursa Major or the Great Bear. But as this website points out, Ursa Major is actually the Revelation 12 Woman. (Ursa Major appears much larger in the sky than this sketch shows. But in order to fit her into this drawing, the artist had to depict her much smaller)

.

IN THE WEST

.

This most amazing phenomenon is seen throughout the winter, and even into June at the beginning of night. It is seen best when it is the western part of the sky. Orion, the Dragon, and the Glorious Horse are beginning to descend into the western horizon. And at this point it is apparent that the Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation is veering toward the Narrow Gate Stars as you can see just to the left of the mountain. A dark night is best for seeing this. It begins with the Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation going towards these two doors. The doors are each composed of two bright stars. The two bright stars that comprise the Narrow Gate are the two brightest stars of the Orion the Reaper’s sickle. The two stars that comprise the Wide Gate Stars (to the right of the mountain) are the two brightest stars of the Wave of Water (AKA Auriga Constellation) that comes out of the Dragon Constellation’s mouth (for explanation of “Wave of Water”, just click here). The stars that make up the Narrow Gate are about one-third less the width of the Wide Gate. The two bright stars which symbolize the Wide Gate are Capella and Menkalinan. These are the brightest two stars of the Auriga Constellation. (For more information on Orion’s sickle, just click here, “Orion The Reaper”. )

.

Editor’s note: These sketches on this page are merely sketches. The stars are not in their exact place. But they are close enough to find them in the night sky.

Daily Devotional, Year 3 – November 29 (Valley Of Decision, Now! Part 9: “The Serpent of Old Constellation” CONTINUED)

Daily Devotional, Year 3 – November 29

.

Valley Of Decision, Now!

.

Part 9:

“The Serpent of Old Constellation”

CONTINUED

To read Part 1, click here…August 5th (Valley Of Decision Now! Part 1)

.

“And then shall appear

the sign of the Son of Man in Heaven:

and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn,

and they shall see the Son of Man

coming in the clouds of Heaven

with power and great glory.”

Matthew 24:30

.

Today’s devotional concerns The Valley of Decision Constellation Group.

.

So what does this above verse concerning the Sign of the Son of Man have to do with the Valley of Decision Constellation Group?

.

TRAJECTORY TO VALLEY OF DECISION

.

**Well, as the November 27, Year 3 devotional (click here) revealed, these two constellation groups are very much connected!**

.

For one thing, the November 27-Year 3 devotional revealed that the Serpent of Old Constellation was facing toward the Valley of Decision Constellation Group, with a trajectory coming forth from each jaw of that serpent, leading straight to that Constellation Group!

.

Yes, just as the jaws of that Serpent Constellation (aka the head of Draco) were pointing to the “Valley of Decision” and the “O Destroying Mountain Constellation”, so also, the true Serpent, Satan, is dedicated to leading God’s professed people to their final judgment.

.

.

A TAXI-RIDE TO HELL!

.

In other words, this Serpent of Old Constellation contains the Five Foolish Virgins Stars (and other stars too), and is seemingly transporting them to their final judgment! That’s right! The apostate portion of the Church is getting a sort of taxi-ride-to-Hell across the night-sky, in a trajectory which leads straight to the two aforementioned destinations: the “Valley of Decision” and “The Highway to Hell Stars”, which begin at the “O Destroying Mountain Constellation” and leads down to the Revelation 12 Dragon. (see star-chart in the above previous paragraph)

.

Do you see all these biblical aspects which are depicted in the provided star-charts on this page?

“TEN VIRGINS…FIVE…WISE, AND…FIVE FOOLISH”

Matthew 25:1, 2

.

Now in contrast to all this, we see the Five Wise Virgins Stars, as they are gathered at the feet of Jesus, reminding us of how Mary Magdalene sat at the feet of Jesus, and listened and “heard His Word”. Luke 10:39 (see star-chart in the next paragraph below)

.

.

THE BIG LESSON: WISE ONES HEAR JESUS’ WORD

.

So, do you see the great lesson which God has inscribed in both, the Bible, but also in the very heavens?

.

Here is a marvelous picture of the wise virgins, i.e., God’s chosen ones, sitting at the feet of Jesus, patiently hearing His Word, while in contrast, the Foolish Virgins are passing over the feet of Jesus, and are on a Hellish Express train-ride of sorts, heading straight toward their judgment and ultimate destruction! (see Jesus’ right foot in these two pictures)

.

.

THE WISE SIT DAILY AT THE FEET OF JESUS

.

No, these foolish ones are not sitting at the feet of Jesus, as are the wise ones.

.

But rather, these foolish ones are content to follow the Serpent of Old, Satan, as he leads them down, down, down the highway to Hell, while they enjoy the pleasures of sin for a little season. (Notice the straight line going from the “O Destroying Mountain Constellation”, further right, leading down to the Dragon)

.

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY!”

Proverbs 25:25

.

Well, the very Good News is that there is opportunity for any of us to turn away from such an awful judgment!

.

Yes, the doors of mercy are still open for any and every soul who realizes his or her great peril, and desires to escape damnation, in which their “spirit shall return unto God who gave it”! Ecclesiastes 12:7

.

So let each of us fall down to our knees (spiritually speaking) and cry out for mercy to the One who, “delighteth in mercy!” (Micah 7:18)

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN

SIGN OF THE SON OF MAN CONSTELLATIONS STRETCHED FROM SKY TO SKY

.

In 2012, this constellation was revealed. It is comprised of all the other constellations on this website, as they appear in the night-sky. The only way to really see this constellation, is to become very totally familiar with this website. This is because this incredible constellation spans both the summer and winter skies. This constellation is actually in a semi-circle, as it appears in the night-sky. These pictures, however, show it as it would appear straightened out.

.

**There is an old song which goes… “The love of God is greater far than tongue or pen can ever tell; It goes beyond the highest star, and reaches to the lowest Hell…**

.

But the last verse of this song says… “Could we with ink the ocean fill, And were the skies of parchment made, were every stalk on earth a quill, And every man a scribe by trade; To write the love of God above, would drain the ocean dry; Nor could the scroll contain the whole, though stretched from sky to sky.”

.

Now what makes all this so extremely interesting, is that this verse was found scribbled on the wall of a deceased “insane” person’s cell in a psychiatric sanitarium, upon removing his corpse.

.

And little did this “insane” man realize, that God had actually written His love and inscribed that love on the scroll (of the sky). And God had actually stretched that picture of love from sky to sky, just as the song-verse said.

.

And now God has revealed this heavenly portrait of the Son of Man, writhing in pain for a planet who cares very little for Him. (These constellations span both summer and winter sky, and this constellation in this picture to the right actually appears much more curved in the sky.)

Daily Devotional, Year 3 – December 9 (The Great Babylonian Dream Machine, Part 7: “What’s The Most Evil Thing On TV?”)

.

.

Daily Devotional, Year 3 – December 9

.

.

.

.

The Great Babylonian Dream Machine,

.

Part 6:

“What’s The Most Evil Thing On TV?”

.

.

.

.

.

A somewhat naïve mother was letting her 7-year-old daughter watch a cartoon, a “coming-of-age” movie, about a young girl who was, “pursuing her dream” to become a famously celebrated dancer.

.

But as this movie progressed, the young girl in the movie just happened to dance her way from the street, and right into a beer tavern, continuing to dance from table-top to table-top, while the customers were laughing and singing and drinking their pitchers of ale.

.

Well, this was finally too much for the watching mother, causing her to make a somewhat critical comment about that particular movie scene.

.

But that was merely one television show!

.

And many who are familiar with television might remark…“So what’s the big deal about that? There’s a whole lot of worse things seen and heard on TV these days!”

.

.

.

.

.

.

WHAT’S THE GREATEST EVIL?

.

And so, O Reader, just what is the most evil thing on television, if it isn’t that little children’s cartoon movie, in which the adolescent girl winds up dancing in a tavern?

.

Well, there’s worse things on television, aren’t there?

.

For example, what about all those zombie shows in which the walking-dead attempt to eat humans alive? They’re pretty evil, are they not?

.

Or what about the music shows which often feature vile and vulgar lyrics?

.

.

.

.

.

.

A MUCH GREATER EVIL LURKS ON TELEVISION!

.

Well, needless to say, there’s a lot of evil on television these days!

.

But what in the world could be the absolute most evil thing on television?

.

If it’s not those flesh-eating zombies, nor those vile “music” shows, then what is it?

.

Just what evil could there be which truly “takes the prize” for being the greatest evil of all?

.

.

.

.

.

“LOVE NOT THE WORLD”

.

No, there’s something far more evil than these!

.

.

Herein lies the very heart of darkness.

.

The World.

.

.

.

.

.

.

THIS LUCIFERION WORLD-SYSTEM

.

No, it is not some beer hall, nor even some young girl dancing on its table-tops. Nor is it the flesh-eating walking-dead. Nor the vile and twisted lyrics which often pervert young, impressionable minds.

.

**And of course, “the god of this world”, Satan wants us all to choose his kingdom over God’s kingdom.**
