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 can just glance at its environment and instantly change its body to imitate that environment!

.

As a matter of fact, whatever the Cuttlefish passes over, it instantly begins to change into a similar 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, just like this above little video reveals?

.

“THE KISSES OF AN ENEMY ARE DECEITFUL!”http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:GiantCuttlefish6.jpg

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

.https://theheavensdeclare.net/television-the-image-that-speaks/

This second Beast of Revelation 13 speaks of this current-day phenomenon in which the media goliaths have become totally satanic, foisting the most hideous and evil antichrist ideologies upon the world. 

.

From totalitarianism, to antichrist-atheism, to immorality, to murder of the unborn, to persecution/murder of Jews/Christians/moralists (conservatives), to sodomy and child-mutilation, to racial hatred, to bullying in various forms, etc., the media has become the mouthpiece of Satan.

.

Yes, the media has devolved so greatly into a snake-pit of lies, corruption, hypocrisy, cover-ups and the like, to the degree that they have lost any sense of honor, decency, or honesty.

.

.

.

.

.

https://theheavensdeclare.net/television-the-image-that-speaks/“The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted”

Psalm 12:8

.

If you haven’t noticed, there has been a rise of political tyrants in the western nations.

.

Yes, and along those same lines, there has also been a rise in those who desire to use the high-tech to control the thoughts and actions of the general populace.

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places”

Ephesians 6:12 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Martin,_John_-_Satan_presiding_at_the_Infernal_Council_-_1824.JPG.

Now, of course, as Bible-believing Christians, we are not ignorant of the fact that the spirit of antichrist is the true source of all this tyrannical uprising, which is systematically eliminating our freedoms, day-by-day.

.

But we must not be deceived into believing that all this merely happenstance. No, the Internet and the devices which employ this new power of the airwaves is to become Satan’s ultimate Judgment Day weaponry, holding the supreme position in Satan’s multi-arsenal against humanity, and ultimately against God’s sheepfold!

.

The Bible foretells of the day in which, “no man might buy or sell, saving him which has the mark, or name, or the number of his name…six-hundred-threescore-and-six”

.

And as we all know, present-day high-tech society has the capability of allowing or preventing each individual from buying or selling.

Revelation 13:17, 18

.

And Satan is working around the clock to add even more technology which will give government and business absolute power to control every aspect of life, individually tailored and custom-fit for each and every, man, woman, and child!

.

And while most will be able to move freely about, the few who refuse to become indoctrinated into this antichrist world-system will find themselves incapable of even the smallest conveniences. They will be blacklisted. Cancelled! Cut off! Banished from society! At least, this seems to be the general direction which the world is headed.

“And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth (the Golden Image) shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace”

Daniel 3:6 

Fiery Furnace by Gustave Dore' courtesy of adelaide.edu.au.

So, just what is the solution to all this?

.

Well, just as the three Hebrew boys were cast alive into the King of Babylon’s fiery furnace, so too will God’s faithful ones be cut off and eventually killed for refusing to bow down to the true King of Babylon, Lucifer.

.

And those who do bow down will become little more than devils-in-human-bodies, as they ruthlessly persecute God’s true sheep! And since society is fast becoming totally computerized, it will be no problem to differentiate “between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not!” Malachi 3:18

“Multitudes, multitudes in the ‘Valley of Decision’…

.

for the day of the Lord is near in the ‘Valley of Decision’.”

Valley of Decision w/names

.

“The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining… 

.

“The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem…

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.)

“Here Comes the Thought Police!”

.

Part 3

“The Sound of One Hand Clapping”

To read Part 1, click here…August 11 (“The Thought Police Have Finally Arrived!”)

.

.

.

.

.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:OneHandClapping.jpgMany political commentators have borrowed this phrase, “the sound of one hand clapping”, using it as a metaphor to describe totalitarian governments in which there is no opposition party to challenge the oppressive authoritarianism of the various dictatorships in this lost world.

.

And, tragically, we are seeing this same totalitarian mind-set beginning to rise up on a massive scale in the formerly Christian nations of Europe and the Americas. The governments, the Internet/media-goliaths, and even much of the populace are now embracing such iron-fisted ideologies!

“(The world) Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools”

Romans 1:22

.

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Defund_the_police.jpgMost everyone remembers when politicians trumpeted the call to “Defund the police! Defund the police!”

.

And so, many cities began a campaign to do just that! “After all”, they said, “people just need a helping hand! And police are so evil!”

Anarchy…”and the cities of the nations fell…”

Revelation 16:19

.

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Columbus_BLM_Protest_IMG_3001_(49958024753).jpg

Well, as you probably already know, the results of defunding and defaming the police has brought disastrous results! Those same cities have become increasingly lawless and unresponsive to crime!

.

But the question which many are scratching their heads over, is this: “Why on earth could any half-intelligent person possibly believe that defunding the police could somehow be a good thing?!”

“…giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;”

1st Timothy 4:1, 2

.

Well, let’s not be simple-minded and naive! The truth is, these same people who called so loudly to defund the police, are actually planning to bring society under total authoritarian control! As a matter of fact, they are working feverishly right now to turn this once-great nation into a giant police-state! And if it weren’t for the push-back from freedom-loving dissidents, we’d already be under totalitarian control!

.

So, let’s all say, “we won’t get fooled again”, as one songster sang!

.

Yes, the sad fact is, that society is now able to control every aspect of our lives! And their abilities are increasing daily!

George Orwell’s “1984”

.

In George Orwell’s little book, 1984, he presented a world in which the rulers had succeeded in complete totalitarian control over the masses.

.

And there were even “Thought Police” to control the people’s thoughts.

THE THOUGHT POLICE HAVE FINALLY ARRIVED!

.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:1984first.jpgWell, about the only thing that Orwell had miscalculated in this predictive novel was the date for this super-society to come into reality. He was about 40 years off!

.

But that day has finally arrived in which society can (and will) be brought under the control of dictatorial rulers! Orwell’s book should have been titled “2024”!

.

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Is_this_tomorrow.jpgYes, by means of the modern media, “Big Brother” (aka Satan) can now completely control the masses.

.

And now, these high-tech devices are beginning to blacklist all those who do not hold to the maxims which our society now approves and condones.

It is more than just a little ironically strange and weird that in the very place which became the centerpiece for the modern-day protection of “freedom of speech”, has now become the centerpiece to stamp out “freedom of speech”!

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2017_Berkeley_protests.jpg

.

And perhaps even stranger, it is the very same political party who have long prided themselves as being the arbiters and protectors of that freedom, who are now the very same political party applauding any media outlet or violent mob which squelches the free speech of their political foes!

THE BIBLE FORETOLD OF THIS DAY!

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:DDLI.png

.

It’s truly frightening to see all this totalitarianism being ratcheted up so swiftly.

.

But the Bible foretold that this day would finally arrive…“And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Revelation 13:17

.

Now this verse by itself may not give us enough understanding into the current-day phenomenon of censoring.

.

.

“Buy the truth, and sell it not!”

.

But this next verse complements the previous verse found in Revelation 13:17.

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:DDLI.png.

This complementary verse is found in Proverbs 23:23…“Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.”

.

Now from this and other similar verses, it is revealed that “buying and selling” actually has to do with preaching the Gospel of Jesus.

.

And so, the Bible prophesied that the day would come when the true and unvarnished Word of God would be cut off…“And that no man might buy or sell (the truth)” (parenthetical comment by website editor)

But the Good News in all this coming totalitarianism, is that God’s Word is still available to read!

.

And most everyone is familiar with this next verse…“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32

.

Yes, the continuing search for knowledge of the Bible and the Bible’s Jesus will make us free indeed!

THE WOMAN ON THE ALTAR CONSTELLATION

.

.

.

.

.

“Let my prayer Flower of Heaven Constellation w/leavesbe 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 beingLeo 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.
