Taking Back This Nation For God!

Part 13:

“Sinking Into The Bottomless Pit” CONTINUED

“The wicked shall be turned into Hell,

and all the nations that forget God.”

Psalm 9:17

.

.

.

.

.

When a society begins dabbling in sexual immorality, it is certain that such a nation will slip deeper and deeper into the abyss of sin.

.

And history has shown that immorality is a great sign, and that it won’t be long until that nation begins to decay and crumble.

.

It is the kiss of death for any nation to lose its moral compass!

“But Evil Men and Seducers Shall Wax Worse and Worse…”

2nd Timothy 3:13

.

But what most citizens of any immoral nation do not realize is that the abyss of sin is a bottomless pit…“And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.” Revelation 9:2 

.

This is why we are now witnessing our current western societies sinking deeper and deeper into immorality and self-destruction.

.

Yes, those very nations which once lovingly embraced the Christian Reformation are now suffering the results of their turning away from that great Christian revival.

“As It Was In The Days of Lot… Even Thus Shall It Be…”

Luke 17:28, 30

.

And even in the United States, we are seeing the results of our Laodicean lukewarmness.

.

Yes, just as Lot was vexed on a daily basis by the immorality of his fellow townspeople, so too, we Christians today are vexed by all the corruption and misdeeds of this Sodomitish society.

.

And God has judged us for our (the Christian community’s) enthusiastic pursuit of the many hedonistic pleasures and ambitious attainments which this cornucopian super-society now offers!

.

And as a just recompense, Sodom is now rising up all around us. And the walls of hatred and persecution seem to be closing in on God’s people.

.

Our world has become a great world-indoctrination center in which we and our children are being brainwashed on a daily basis by all the mass media.

.

But where will it stop?

“Should women eat their offspring…?

.

Listen to this frightening prophecy…“Should women eat their offspring, the infants they have nurtured?” Lamentations 2:20 (Berean Study Bible)

.

This horrible judgment was fulfilled on a small scale during the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD, but will be repeated on a massive scale in these last days.

.

And believe it or not, there has even been one or two leading evolutionists recently suggesting such a thing, as if it would be beneficial for our society to engage in!

.

Unbelievable? Yes! But don’t think that the current downward spiral will be like the previous downfalls of past societies!

.

No, the one that is coming will seem like the world has fallen into that bottomless pit…and just keeps falling, down, down, down!

.

In other words, in this final apostasy, God is going to reveal just how unthinkably wicked that sin actually is!

“And Ye Shall Seek Me and Find Me When Ye Shall Search For Me With All Your Heart!”

Jeremiah 29:13

.

Well, the Good News is that none of us have to be a part of this coming firestorm. No, the Bible offers a way of escape!

.

But that escape route requires a 100% whole-hearted dedication to the Lord.

.

No longer will a double-minded devotion be tolerated by our God.

“Flee Out Of The Midst of Babylon & Deliver Every Man His Soul!”

Jeremiah 51:6

.

It is time to flee to the mountains just as surely as Lot fled on the morning of Sodom’s destruction!

.

But in those spiritual mountains it has been promised that “He (the faithful ones) shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks (of God’s Word): bread (of life) shall be given him; his waters (of grace) shall be sure. Thine eyes shall see the King in His beauty: they shall behold the (Promised) Land that is very far off.” Isaiah 33:16, 17 (parenthetical comments by website Editor)

.

Yes, God will abundantly supply all our needs according to His riches in glory, as we fearfully, but joyfully, take refuge from the overflowing scourge now coming upon us!

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

.

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

.

“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…

.

“And the heavens and the earth shall shake…

LOCATING THIS CONSTELLATION GROUP…

.

.

Look eastward in the early summer through fall. Find the Cassiopeia Constellation. Cassiopeia is the Mount of Blessing. In the sketch, it is the farthest mountain to the left. In the sky, it is the northern-most of these three mountains when facing eastward. It resembles a pyramid.

.

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.

.

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) Pegasus (Mount of Cursing (middle mount) & Destroying Mount (right)), and Pisces (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.)

The False Prophet,

.

Part 27:

“Many False Prophets”

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

 

.

.

.

.

“For false Christs and false prophets shall rise,

and shall show signs and wonders,

to seduce, if [it were] possible,

even the elect.”

Mark 13:22  

.

.

.

.

.

In today’s Christian community, the general consensus is that the two beasts of Revelation 13 will be fulfilled in the near future after the Church has been Raptured out of this world.

.

In other words, today’s Bible teachers put forth the doctrine that these two  beasts are merely two human individuals who are empowered by Satan to deceive the world during the coming 7 year tribulation.

.

.

.

.

THE BEAST IS SATAN’S ANTICHRIST WORLD-SYSTEM

.

Of course, this kind of false teaching is derived from a careless and uninspired reading of the Bible.

.

In the first place, when the Bible speaks of beasts, it usually is referring to nations or people groups. (for example, see Daniel 7:23)

.

And by a simple reading of Revelation 17, it is readily seen that the Antichrist beast is spoken of thus…“the beast… The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman (The Great Harlot City, Babylon) sits…And there are seven kings: …And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings…” Revelation 17:8-12 (this passage cut down for brevity’s sake)

.

In other words, this above passage plainly reveals that this Antichrist beast of Revelation 13 is a composite of many kings and kingdoms.

.

In simple terms, this beast represents Satan’s antichrist world-system!

.

.

.

.

.

.

THE TWO BEASTS

.

Now this website has many articles which teach that these two beasts of Revelation 13 (the Antichrist and the False Prophet) are actually the two great divisions of Satan’s warfare against Christians throughout the New Testament era.

.

And this division can be seen in the two ways in which Satan has attacked the Church over the past two thousand years.

.

.

.

ROME, THE 1ST BEAST

.

The first era was the persecution of the Church by pagan Rome and later by spiritual Rome.

.

This went on for a period of 1260 prophetic days (prophetically, 1260 years).

.

But after the 1st beast-power received a deadly wound by a sword (the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God), then arose the 2nd beast-power, the false Prophet.

.

.

.

.

.

.

THE 2ND BEAST

.

This 2nd beast-power was a period of financial and material prosperity for the same nations which embraced the Christian Reformation, symbolized by that beast arising out of the earth.

.

And isn’t it true that the last several hundred years has been a period of ever-increasing prosperity for these nations? The earth and all that it yields, has been the great power-source of these last few centuries: the industrial revolution, followed by high-tech revolution. Thus, it is the beast which arose “out of the earth”.

.

The great era of prosperity has been the means of this False Prophet to gain power over the people of the world. And because of all the economic opportunities now available, this satanic entity, the false Prophet has successfully diverted the church-world into going after the earthly Mammon, instead of whole-heartedly seeking after Salvation.

.

Yes, the church-world has been greatly derailed from its great commission to die-to-self, and to be “strangers and pilgrims” in this satanic world of selfishness, so that Christ might live out His holy life in and through Believers.                                               

.

.

.

.

.

THE PROSPERITY-DRIVEN GOSPELS

.

Now, having said all this, there is another aspect to this second beast, the False prophet which needs to be clarified.

.

It needs to be understood that every false prophet teaches truth mingled with lies. That’s how false prophets deceive people! And of course, the greatest deception in the church-world are the prosperity gospels now being taught and accepted in most every church and denomination. These gospels are given such tags as the “Name-It-And-Claim-It Gospel”, or in the more conservative churches, “The Entrepreneurial Spirit”, or even, perhaps, “The American Dream”. 

(Oh yes, these prosperity ideologies may be fine for the people of the world to pursue, but the Christian’s great focus and chief desire is now to be Heavenward, not on the world, seeking to be transformed into the image of Christ.)

.

.

MANY FALSE DOCTRINES

.

Either way, these false gospels have successfully poisoned the purity of Christ’s true Gospel. In other words, most every Bible teacher mingles much truth with their false ideas. And the prosperity-driven gospels have many other false teachings as well.

.

And this website has many devotionals which enumerate the various false teachings now being thrust on the deceived parishioners in today’s churches and denominations.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

MANY FALSE PROPHETS

.

But the great point of today’s devotional is that the False Prophet of Revelation 13 is comprised of all the seemingly countless false teachers found in today’s Christianity: radio preachers, TV preachers, Internet preachers, and pastors and local Bible teachers. These all mostly read one-another’s books and so there seems to be a general consensus among them as to what constitutes truth.

.

And so, by means of these thousands of false teachers and theologians, the entire church-world has become a Babylon of confusion!

.

Oh yes, they all teach a certain amount of truth, but also enough lies to derail the parishioners, poisoning whatever truth might otherwise be learned by their hearers. (And hopefully, there are many true pastors, who are currently deceived, yet will eventually come out of the Babylonish confusion and deception which now pervades the organized churches.) 

.

.

“COME OUT OF HER (BABYLON), MY PEOPLE!”

Revelation 18:4

.

But God is now calling His people to come out of the City of Confusion, and flee to the safety of the spiritual mountains surrounding spiritual Jerusalem (the churches and denominations).

.

It is a spiritual end-time exodus, spoken of in Psalm 125:1, 2…“They that trust in the LORD shall be as (heavenly) mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever. As the mountains are round about Jerusalem (“the Jerusalem above, the mother of us all”. Galatians 4:24, 25), so the LORD is round about His people from henceforth even for ever.” (parenthetical comments by website editor)

.

Yes, God is now calling His people to flee to the safety of the spiritual mountains surrounding spiritual Jerusalem (the churches and denominations).

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).

How To Keep The Sabbath,

.

Part 3:

“Ellen White’s & Harold Camping’s Views of the Sabbath”

To read Part 1, click here…September 28 (How To Keep The Sabbath, Part 1: “Finding Rest Unto Your Souls!”)

.

.

.

.

.

.

“Come unto Me, all ye that labour

and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me;

for I am meek and lowly in heart:

and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.”

Matthew 11:28-30

.

.

.

.

It is somewhat puzzling that these two messengers of the messages of the three angels found in Revelation 14, had two different opinions regarding which day of the week was the true Sabbath.

.

Harold Camping regarded the “Sunday Sabbath”, while Ellen White insisted that the true Sabbath had never been changed from “sundown on Friday to sundown on Saturday”. 

.

.

.

.

.

.

A SABBATH “REST UNTO YOUR SOULS”

.

And yet, both Ellen White and Harold Camping taught that Christ offers us a “rest unto your souls”. Yes, the greatest emphasis, found throughout the ministries of both Ellen White and Harold Camping, was concerning this spiritual “rest unto your souls”, which every true worshiper enjoys.

.

And this “rest unto your souls” is actually the indwelling of the Holy Spirit of God, which inspires the Believer to love the Bible, prayer, and meditating day and night on Christ, as revealed in the Scriptures. And by this indwelling Spirit, the Believer now receives a love for the things of Heaven.

.

And whether at work, or at repose, or at recreation with his or her family, the Believer strives to allow Christ to live out His life through that Christian Believer.

.

And this spiritual rest was the main thrust of both White’s and Camping’s ministries.

.

.

.

.

.

.

A REST FROM DO-IT-YOURSELF SALVATION

.

Now Harold Camping also saw the 7th Day Sabbath as the symbol of “Salvation by Grace”.

.

In other words, just as the 4th Commandment commands people to cease from doing any work on the Sabbath, likewise, God commands a person to cease from doing any work out of the hope of obtaining Salvation by that human effort. In other words, Salvation is a gift, and there is no “good work” which one might perform, that could ever secure one’s salvation. Even a Believer’s choosing to follow Him is a gift!

.

.

.

.

.

“What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.”

Deuteronomy 12:32

.

Oh yes, Christ’s rising on the first day of the week was used in Scripture to symbolize the resurrected life in Christ which Believers are to live. But never were we to go beyond the authority of Scripture and make that day into something it was not intended to be!

.

The resurrected life is to be a 24/7/365 “Rest unto your souls”.

THE SIGNS OF HEAVEN

Yes, like precious jewels, these heavenly signs sparkle brightly as they proclaim the precious truths of God’s Word.

And those who are willing to devote themselves to unceasing prayer and constant meditation of God’s Word, will begin to locate these heavenly messengers!

And this little devotional will be a further addendum to that very same admonition…“But his delight is in the law of the LORD (God’s Word); and in his law doth he meditate day and night.” Psalm 1:2

.

“For By Wise Counsel Thou Shalt Make Thy War”

Proverbs 24:6

.

Yes, to keep our minds upon God’s Word through our day will give us the perfect peace we need to possess during the time of trouble just ahead!

.

Listen…“Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established: And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches. A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength. For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.” Proverbs 24:3-6  

.

WOW! What a promise! And the many verses of the Bible shall be that “multitude of counsellors” which bring us that safety!

.

“Thy Testimonies Also Are My Delight And My Counsellors.”

Psalms 119:24 

.

But the purpose of today’s devotional is to emphasize that a great part of our moment-by-moment contemplation of God’s life-giving Word is to allow God’s “exceeding great and precious promises” to guide us daily through every troublesome and questionable situation which arises.

.

Like stepping stones made of costly pearls, winding through the burning fields of tribulation, God’s great and precious promises will guide us safely through each snare which the Enemy throws across our pathway!

.

.

.

.

.

Thy Word Have I Hid In My Heart”

Psalm 119:11

.

Yes, the Bible is literally teeming with such precious promises!

.

And let us not delay hiding these in our hearts and begin to put them to action right now. We can’t wait until that horrible day arrives!

.

But by putting them into practice right now, we will continue to live by them when ‘all Hell breaks loose’, as the old saying goes!

OUR DAILY BATTLE

.

Perhaps at the end of each day (and all during the day), maybe while lying down in bed, we need to spend much time thinking back on how we might have overcome this or that big or little attack by the Devil. Just what “exceeding great and precious promises” could have been employed, which would have given us the victory over the temptations which assailed us in our daily warfare? 

.

Listen…Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” (2nd Peter 1:4)

.

Constant learning and hiding of the many Bible promises into our hearts is a critically important part of our daily walk in the Lord!

.

This is how we “grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord!” 2nd Peter 3:18

I have kept me from

the paths of the destroyer.

Hold up my goings in Thy paths,

that my footsteps slip not.”

SKETCH:  EASTERN SKY

.

Here in this sketch is when these constellations are in the eastern sky in early winter.  Satan spews out his false worldly ideologies, which many of these ideologies have a form of godliness. On the other hand, the Strait Gate (Narrow Gate) is composed of the two brightest stars of the Orion The Reaper’s sickle. God’s Word, the Bible is that sickle. The true Strait Gate is God’s Word, the Bible. As a sickle harvests the wheat, so God’s Word will gather precious souls to Him.

The False Prophet,

.

Part 28:

“The Left Horn: Cruel Compassion”

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

 

.

.

.

.

“A righteous man regardeth

the life of his beast:

but the tender mercies

of the wicked are cruel.”

Proverbs 12:10  

.

.

.

.

.

.

Satan is now coming as the False Prophet, the prevailing spirit which rules over this antichrist world-system. This is the actual true fulfillment concerning the 2nd beast of Revelation 13.

.

Not just a single individual, as most theologians currently teach, because they are merely parroting today’s popular theory. (Remember that “beasts” are symbolic of kingdoms, as revealed in Daniel and other Old Testament prophecies) 

.

.

.

“TWO HORNS LIKE A LAMB”

.

Now this 2nd Beast of Revelation 13 has two horns. (the 1st Beast mostly being Satan’s tyrannical Romish Church which persecuted Christians throughout the hundreds of years of the Dark Ages) 

.

Yes, this 2nd Beast has “two horns like a Lamb”. Revelation 13:11

.

And, as already set forth in previous articles, these two Christlike horns represent Jesus, the Lamb of God, with His own two horns of power: mercy and justice…“Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.” Psalm 85:10 These are the horns of Christ’s divine power and authority.

.

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

.

.

.

.

.

THE 6TH & 7TH HEADS OF THE 1ST BEAST ARE ALSO THE TWO HORNS OF THE 2ND BEAST

.

And as we survey the political landscape, it is easy to discern that the two major political groups are exactly like this False Prophet (picture, lower left), having one group concerned with mercy and compassion while the other is concerned with morality and law.

.

These two political powers are also made up of the 6th and 7th head of the 1st beast (picture, right). In other words, this 2nd False Prophet beast (left) is actually an integral part of the 1st beast (upper right).

.

It is much like a deadly deviant virus which splits away from its mother-virus.

.

.

.

THE “COMPASSIONATE” 6TH HEAD

.

Now today’s devotional is only concerned with the 6th head of this 1st antichrist beast (right), which is likewise the Left Horn of the False Prophet 2nd Beast (picture left).

(the 7th head is dealt with in other articles, click here to read one of those articles)

.

This 6th head corresponds to the left horn which is the “compassionate” horn, counterfeiting Jesus, who, as we know, Jesus was and is the true essence of unpretentious compassion.

.

.

.

.

.

“HAVING A FORM OF GODLINESS”

.

And isn’t it obviously evident that the world has its own form of “humanitarianism”, now abounding in today’s world? Why, one might imagine that this antichrist world has now become filled with its own inherent goodness, mercy and love!

.

But don’t be fooled! The Bible warns us that…“For men (in the last days) shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, etc….HAVING A FORM OF GODLINESS, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” 2nd Timothy 3:2, 3

.

Yes, for Satan to deceive the whole world, he must mingle much counterfeit goodness into his antichrist world-system!

.

.

.

A MERCIFUL GOD

.

Now, having said all this, it must be emphasized that God often works behind the scenes, through all this so-called “compassion”, often making sure that earth’s inhabitants receive the much-needed help and care from the various humanitarian organizations of the world.

.

And there may indeed be some individuals in whom God is working through, within the humanitarian communities of the world. Therefore, we must not dare to judge the motives of the heart of any one individual! As a whole group? Yes! But never judge any individual’s heart!

.

But though we might dare to judge the various institutions of society, yet we should always do so with fear and trembling, considering what Paul says regarding sinners…“whom I am chief!” (1st Timothy 1:15).

THE ANTICHRIST SPIRIT WITHIN ALL UNSAVED HUMANS

.

And yet, in spite of God’s merciful orchestration over these humanitarian entities, overall, the world’s institutions are nonetheless mostly a product of, “the prince of the power of the air: that spirit which now works in the children of disobedience”. Ephesians 2:2

.

Yes, Satan’s antichrist spirit is now working in the unsaved people of the world.

.

And this “form of godliness” has NOT the true Spirit of love and compassion, but merely a counterfeit version of Heaven’s love and compassion!

.

Satan presiding at the Infernal Council – Wikipedia – US Public Domain

.

.

.

.

.

“The hands of the pitiful women have soddened (cooked) their own children!”

Lamentations 4:10

.

Now, one of the great and obvious evidences that this humanitarian movement is merely a counterfeit, is witnessed by the almost slobbering compassion showered upon one group, while at the same time, the cold indifference, even hatred, and merciless cruelty is rained down upon another.

.

Take for example, the so-called, “right-to-choose” movement, in which mothers are given the right to choose to have an abortion. And this is all done in the name of compassion for mothers! And yet, the big losers in all this are the innocent unborn children who are sucked out of the supposed, “safe sanctuary” of their mother’s womb and disposed of like a rotting old dead fish!

.

Oh yes, this same group will call for millions of dollars to save some endangered species of animals while showing little or no compassion for the sanctity of these precious little unborn babies, created in God’s Image, who are cruelly murdered in the name of “compassion for women’s rights”!

PURE HATRED NOW WITNESSED BY ALL!

.

Or how about the venomous hatred between these two political entities?

.

Have you ever seen such vitriolic hatred!?

.

And so, where’s all that love and mercy from this self-proclaimed, “political-party-of compassion”?

.

“HAVING A FORM OF GODLINESS, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.”

2nd Timothy 3:2, 3

.

Well, time does not permit to enumerate the seemingly countless other examples of hypocrisy and selective compassion exercised by this 6th head (and left horn) of the False Prophet/Antichrist Beast of Revelation 13.

.

But the point is, that Satan’s counterfeit compassion must be seen for what it truly is: merely “a form of godliness”, ignorantly void of the true Power of Love only found in God’s Holy Spirit!

.

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

.

.

.

GOD OFTEN WORKS THROUGH THESE ORGANIZATIONS

.

And as already stated, God makes sure that these humanitarian groups oftentimes help those who are in need (but only to a certain degree), and even works through various individuals (of whom, many are ear-marked for future Salvation, though they presently know it not). Nevertheless, because God maybe assists in certain ways in this current-day humanitarian movement, doesn’t lessen the deceptive evil of this “form of godliness…denying the Power thereof.”

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY!”

Proverbs 25:25

.

The Good News is, that it is still the day of Salvation.

.

And those of us who have been deceived can finally turn away from this antichrist world-system, and begin the upward sojourn to the Celestial City of God, where true love and compassion for all, rules supreme!

.

And there will be no more hypocrisy, nor selective compassion (often mingled with selective cruelty).

.

These will no longer exist in that wonderful Promised Land of “The New Heaven and New Earth”! (Hebrews 12:22, 23 & Revelation 21:1)

.

Just true love and unfettered compassion for all!

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).

“Harold Camping’s Ears To Hear!”

.

.

.

.

.

“(According as it is written,

God hath given them (Israel) the spirit of slumber,

eyes that they should not see,

and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.”

.

.

.

.

.

.

Vincent Van Gogh, one of the world’s most infamous artists, once cut off his ear (or part of his ear), to prove his love for a certain “women of ill repute”.

.

And so, his unsuccessful attempt to woo this adulterous women which he loved, left Van Gogh without his one ear (at least in part).

.

.

.

.

.

.

WE TOO HAVE CUT OFF OUR EAR!

.

Now today’s society laughs at Van Gogh’s foolish “sacrifice of love”.

.

And yet, many Christians have cut off both ears, for the sake of a harlot woman’s love!

.

WELL, HOW COULD THAT POSSIBLY BE TRUE!?

.

Yes, many, or perhaps most of the professed people of God have made an even greater, “sacrifice of love” for a certain, “woman of ill repute”, which is the Bible symbol for the apostate portion of the Church!

.

In other words, the Bible compares the apostate churches to an adulterous woman. (For greater insight into this truth, read the article, Today’s Devotional – May 12th (Come Out of Her, My People! Part 1)

.

And those who remain in such dead congregations, do not and cannot hear nor understand the deeper truths veiled within the seemingly countless allegories, parables and types and symbols found therein.

“YE NEED NOT THAT ANY MAN TEACH YOU”

1st John 2:27

.

Some 60 years ago, one commercial construction engineer named Harold Camping began a radio station dedicated to broadcasting the Gospel to San Francisco Bay area.

.

And about the same time, this engineer-turned-Bible-teacher decided to begin studying his Bible as if he were cramming for a college final exam.

.

And so, for about an average of 5 or 6 hours per day, Camping began studying his Bible, comparing scripture with scripture, and spiritual things with spiritual. And rather than reading the writings of the past theologians, Camping decided to let the Bible-only, be his sole arbiter of truth.

.

.

.

.

.

.

“THEREFORE I SPEAK TO THEM IN PARABLES”

Matthew 13:13

.

Well, in the process of time, Camping realized that the Bible was a spiritual Book. In other words, he began to discern that the many various stories of both testaments presented spiritual truths, which were veiled within the many allegories, parables, and prophecies contained therein.

.

You could say that Camping had “ears to hear” in a day when most Bible teachers and theologians do not see, nor do they hear the deeper spiritual truths of “hidden manna”, veiled within those true historical accounts.

.

.

.

A WALKING PARABLE? OR NOT?

.

Now it is rather interesting, that when looking at a photo of Harold Camping, he obviously had extremely large ears!

.

It almost reminds one of the many times in which God said something like, “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear!” Matthew 11:15, etc…

.

And from looking at his photos, it was evident that Camping definitely had ears to hear!

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

CAMPING, A WALKING PARABLE?

.

Well, whether or not God purposely gave Harold his large ears that he might be a walking parable, is really irrelevant.

.

The fact is, although not trained in theological seminaries, Harold Camping arguably became one of the greatest theologians of the New Testament era, cracking open seemingly countless mysterious Bible verses which no other theologian could previously interpret or discern!

.

.

.

NOBLE BEREANS

.

Oh no, Camping’s teachings were not perfect. And yet, he corrected many of the gross errors of the so-called “orthodox” teachings of the Christian church-world!

.

And all that a Noble Berean has to do is to listen to the many audio Bible studies contained at the bottom of each day’s devotional, to see whether or not this website’s glowing assessment of Harold Camping is accurate.

THE HOLY GHOST RIDER CONSTELLATION

.

This newest Signs Of Heaven Constellation (Fall, 2013) is by far the faintest of constellations, but is a very incredible and awesome one in a number of ways (which this article will explain).

.

.

It is primarily comprised of the Camelopardalis Constellation (head and upper back), plus about 5 stars from the Cassiopeia Constellation (his leg), plus some random stars. It appears as an outline of a rider. Only the back of his head is detailed. And his back and the back of his legs are also detailed. Both sides of his arm are visible, and his hand is gripping the horses mane, and that is detailed by three stars (which are also part of the horse’s mane). The rider is in a position vaguely similar to a race-horse jockey. The two brightest stars in this constellation, are from the Cassiopeia Constellation, and are part of his leg. All the rest of the stars are very faint, and must be viewed on a very starry night.

.

Since this constellation has just been revealed, there may be more to this constellation in the coming months. But if you can locate the Goodly Horse in Battle Constellation, then you shouldn’t have too much trouble locating this Rider Constellation, provided you have excellent star-watching conditions. 

.

The above picture is not a totally accurate, but hopefully close enough to locate these constellations in the night-sky. Scroll down this page to see actual star-charts.

.

.

.

.

.

.

“HE THAT HATH EARS TO HEAR”

.

“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches;” Rev. 2:7, 11, 17, 29, 3:6, 13, 22

.

As you can easily see, this horse has some very big ears. Of course, this presents a very big concept. And since this Rider represents the Holy Spirit, it is obvious that He is leaning close, as if to whisper His words in the horses’ ears. And so what is He (The Spirit) whispering in this horses ears? Well, primarily the messages to the 7 churches, found in Revelation Ch.’s, 2 & 3.

.

But not everyone has ears to hear. Listen to Ezekiel… “Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house.” Ezek. 12:2. Yes, the rebellion amongst God’s professing people was great, and they had all but closed their ears from hearing truth.

.

Well it’s the very same problem in the New Testament. Listen to Jesus… “If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.” Mark 7:16.

.

So this Rider whispering into this Horse’s ears is a heavenly picture of this concept… “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches;” Rev. 2:7, 11, 17, 29, 3:6, 13, 22.

.

Now the great lesson to be learned, is that there are certain truths, which those who are rebellious in God’s house, will not be able to hear. And these messages to the 7 churches are those very types of messages, that many “Christians” just do not like to hear.

.

And so, what is the bottom line. Well, it would be a very good idea, for each and every one of us to humble ourselves before God, and plead with Him to give us spiritual ears to hear these deeper truths which God is trying to tell us.

How To Breeze Through The Coming Crisis!

.

Part 7:

“Rejoice Evermore. Pray Without Ceasing. In Every Thing, Give Thanks!” 

To read Part 1, click here… “May 7 (Psalm 1: How To Breeze Through The Coming Crisis)”

.

.

.

.

.

“Rejoice evermore.

Pray without ceasing.

In every thing give thanks:

for this is the will of God

in Christ Jesus concerning you.”

1st Thessalonians 5:16-18

.

.

.

.

.

.

In the last devotional on how to breeze through the coming trials (Click here to read), it was put forth that we must hide all God’s Great and Precious Promises in our hearts and learn to walk by them.

.

.

.

.

.

BREEZING THROUGH THE TIME OF TROUBLE

.

And today’s devotional will highlight one of those great and precious promises which will guide us, and breeze us through that soon-coming tempest.

.

Listen…“Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” 1st Thessalonians 5:16-18

.

Here is a very important ingredient to living victoriously through the approaching storm, coming right now upon the earth!

.

.

.

REJOICE, PRAY, AND GIVE THANKS!

.

“And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.” Revelation 15:2  

.

Oh yes, it will be a massive and terrible storm! But if the Believer wishes to stand on that sea of glass, and have that harp of David’s Psalms, then these “How To Breeze Through The Time of Trouble” articles are extremely critical to read and to put into action!

.

And these three admonitions, to “Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you”, are every bit as important as all the other ingredients, in enabling Christians to breeze through this time of trouble coming soon upon the earth!

.

.

“I MADE HASTE, AND DELAYED NOT TO KEEP THY COMMANDMENTS”

Psalm 119:60 

.

And so, O–sorely-tried-child-of-faith, it is critically important to begin putting these three admonitions into action right now! Don’t wait until the soon-coming storm begins to rage! 

.

In other words, when each daily trial and tribulation arises, we must begin right now to, “rejoice evermore, pray without ceasing, and in every thing give thanks”.

.

And by so-doing, our great distress and consternation over our supposed troubles will evaporate like the morning dew on a sunny day!

“I TAKE PLEASURE IN INFIRMITIES, ETC…” 

.

And let’s not forget what the Apostle, Paul, said concerning his own trials and troubles…“And He (God) said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.” 2nd Corinthians 12:9, 10

.

Yes, Paul “most gladly” took glory, even taking pleasure in his afflictions!

.

And this very same faith which Paul had, can also be ours if we want it!

SKETCH:  EASTERN SKY

.

Here in this sketch is when these constellations are in the eastern sky in early winter.  Satan spews out his false worldly ideologies, which many of these ideologies have a form of godliness. On the other hand, the Strait Gate (Narrow Gate) is composed of the two brightest stars of the Orion The Reaper’s sickle. God’s Word, the Bible is that sickle. The true Strait Gate is God’s Word, the Bible. As a sickle harvests the wheat, so God’s Word will gather precious souls to Him. 

.

NARROW GATE AND WIDE GATE CONSTELLATIONS WITH REVELATION 12 WOMAN: This is how these three constellations appear when just above the eastern horizon. The woman, however appears more in her upright “Fleeing” position than this sketch shows.  It is somewhat of an optical illusion because of the “canopy effect” of the night sky. So it is impossible to sketch this on a flat surface. Nevertheless, this sketch shows this woman appearing to be drawn toward these two warriors; the Reaper, of course is Orion  . The Dragon of Revelation 12 Constellation is not a commonly recognized constellation. His mouth is made of The Hyades Cluster of Taurus, and the tip of his tail is The Pleiades Cluster. The two bright stars on Orion The Reaper’s sickle is the Narrow Gate. And the two bright stars of the Dragon’s wave of water is the Wide Gate. When in the eastern sky it is not so clear as to which Gate she will enter. Woman is commonly known as Ursa Major (or the Great Bear or The Big Dipper)

EARTH: PLANET OF REST

.

Counting the Sun as the 1st heavenly sphere, the Earth is the 4th heavenly sphere. If we extend our theory (and it’s just a theory) that God created our solar system to correspond to the commandments, the Sun corresponding to the 1st Commandment, then Planet Earth would correspond to the 4th Commandment: the Seventh-day Sabbath.

 .

And so, on the very planet that corresponds to the commandment that exalts the idea of “peace” and “rest”, there exists very little peace. And very little rest. Ironic, isn’t it?

.

Well, who hasn’t heard of Black Holes in outer space? Just about everybody has!

.

Society is always making mention of Black Holes, telling us that stellar Black Holes are the result of “dying stars”.

.

Yes, science has determined that when a star is dying out there in space, it creates a magnetic field that prevents light from shining in that great hole.

.

Of course, the Bible refutes this notion, saying, regarding stars, “not one of them faileth” Isaiah 40:26

.

And actually, if the science community were to be totally candid, they would confess that because this mysterious phenomenon is so incredibly far-distant, this Black Hole theory is merely a guess.

.

And truth-be-told, opinions which contradict the general consensus within the scientific community are usually not very much welcomed.

“THEIR FOOLISH HEART WAS DARKENED!”

Romans 1:21

.

But on the other hand, maybe-just-maybe there might be such a thing as “black holes”! 

.

You see, when this human race rebelled against Heaven, it seems as if a void was created in Mankind’s heart.

.

As the Bible reveals… “The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. “Luke 17:20, 21

.

This above passage suggests that when we rebelled against Heaven, and left our first love, Jesus, it created a great vacuum or void in our heart! Perhaps one might call it “a black hole in inner-space”!

FLOWER OF THE FIELD CONSTELLATION

.

This is perhaps one of the most amazing constellations that God has created! It truly looks like a flower, and appears to be blowing in the direction of westward. But as autumn draws near, this constellation appears to bow itself down, just like the flowers of Earth bow down, at the summer’s end.

 .

And these are not merely obscure stars. These are among the biggest and brightest stars in the night heavens!

.

.

The Two Turtle-Doves Constellation is also known as Sagittarius .

.

The Flower of the Field is commonly known as Scorpio .

.

But there is another obvious aspect to this constellation group. Notice that the birds are flying in the same direction as the flower is bending; it is as if the east wind is blowing these heavenly messengers…

.

“The wind blows where it desires, and you hear the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it comes, and where it goes: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. John 3:8.

.

So here is another incredible Bible concept, written in the heavens! And God has spoken of these signs! Listen… “For ever, O LORD, Thy Word is settled in heaven.” Psalm 119:89

.

THE ZODIAC CONSTELLATION NAMES

By the way, 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 must be given, solely for the purpose of locating them on star-charts.

.

.

.

.

.

FLOWER CONSTELLATION BOWS DOWN…

.

AUGUST 28TH, 2011

.

.

It has become apparent, on this date, that as summer draws to a close, this “Flower of the Field Constellation” appears to bend almost completely down. This occurs as it travels into the western skies. It somehow rotates in order to produce this effect. This is a very wonderful phenomenon…and biblical too! After all, the Bible says “the grass withers and the flower falls away”. And that’s exactly what this flower constellation seems to do. It almost seems to be bowing itself…in the direction of that bright and beautiful star, “Arcturus” (which represents Jesus). This would make sense. After all, Scripture states…

.

.

“…unto Me (the Lord), every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear… Bel bows down, Nebo stoops… They stoop, they bow down together… Listen to Me… all you remnant of the house of Israel (God’s people)… which are carried from the womb: And even to your old age I am he… even I will carry, and will deliver you.” Isaiah 46″1-4 (condensed)

the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.

That day is a day of wrath,

a day of trouble and distress,

a day of wasteness and desolation,

a day of darkness and gloominess,

a day of clouds and thick darkness,  

A day of the trumpet and alarm…”

Zephaniah 1:14-16

.

Judgment Day has only just begun!

.

Yes, for all intents and purposes, it began a few years back, but will steadily progress and increase in intensity.

.

And it seems as though this Titanic world struck an iceberg of sorts and has been taking on water ever since!

.

And many are surprised that Judgment Day is more than merely a 24-hour day. Still others presumed that it wouldn’t begin until Christ physically returned in the clouds of glory.

“THE CUP OF HIS FURY”

Isaiah 51:17

.

But God is very merciful, “not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” 2nd Peter 3:9

.

And so, as our probation continues, this lawless world has been getting even crazier and even more lawless!

.

Well, isn’t it? Can we not all bear witness that the world seems to be going berserk? Do we even need to enumerate all the crazy and unexplainable things which seem to be occurring with increasing frequency and intensity?

“A DAY OF DARKNESS AND GLOOMINESS”

.

Just listen to the following Bible description of that day from Joel’s fiery prophecy…“Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in My holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the Day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand; A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness…” Joel 2:1,2

.

Here is an extremely gloomy scenario that the prophet is painting: “A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness…” Joel 2:2

“The day of the LORD cometh…with wrath and fierce anger”

.

And what about Isaiah? Listen to Isaiah 13:9…“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.”

.

So, did we really expect that Judgment Day would be a day of joy and gladness? Were we hoping for God to smile down upon us?

.

No, just the opposite! This period of time, however long it continues, will probably grow darker and more evil.

.

.Judgment Day – by sweet media – cropped image – Wikimedia – 

.

.

.

.

.

“Prophesy…not unto us right things, speak…smooth things…”

Isaiah 30:10

.

And so, with these horrible descriptions, it is small wonder that those Christians who are attempting to blow the trumpet of alarm, may indeed come off as being very negative!

.

And today’s softly appareled Christian community is not accustomed to hearing such harsh negativity. We demand “smooth things”! Isaiah 30:10

.

But this is not a time for smooth sermons, joking preachers, and sensual crooners! No, it is finally time for God to arise and let the citizenry of this rebellious world hear just what He thinks about us. After all, He has been silent about His true feelings for so many centuries.

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY!”

Proverbs 25:25

.

But the Good News is, that even though Judgment Day may have already begun, it is still the day of mercy.

.

Yes, mercy has not sailed away as yet! And so, let’s not be negligent in our repentance and turning away from our sins.

.

.

.

.

.

And listen to this one last very hopeful passage…

“…for the Day of the LORD is great and very terrible;

and who can abide it?

Therefore…turn ye even to Me

with all your heart, and with fasting,

and with weeping, and with mourning…

….for He is gracious and merciful,

slow to anger, and of great kindness…

Who knoweth if He will return and repent,

and leave a blessing behind Him…?”

“THE SCORNER (THE PHARISEE)”

.

Please tilt your head to the left. Do you see a man with a very long pointed nose. (Obviously, the sketch to the right is just an exaggeration in order to help you find the face in the photo to the left.)

.

Do you see an angry look? His right eye-brow is raised as if he is judging.

.

This second face in the Moon appears to be that of a combination of a man as well as a fox. Or maybe a wolf. Doesn’t he have a long narrow nose like a wolf or fox? Maybe even a dog. Nevertheless, the expression on his face, as he appears to look down upon the Earth, is that of scorn.

.

Unlike the first Moon-man’s sad look of shock and awe (click here to see and read about); this ‘man/fox/wolf/dog’ appears to be that of anger and scorn. As if he is disgusted at the sinful planet below. He is very moral, you see.

THE PHARISEES…

.

“Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.” Prov. 21:24

.

Yes this wolf-like beast-face in the Moon, is what the Bible calls a proud Pharisee. They were the morality crowd. They were the finger pointers. They were the scorners. They didn’t realize that their own pride was even more reprehensible to God than the drunkenness, immorality, or sexual perversions of the unsaved of the world.
