A name which has little familiarity in today’s world is that of Roger Williams. (No, not that pop pianist recording artist.)

.

But perhaps only in Rhode Island is the name, Roger Williams, a familiar name, since he was the founder of that colony, later becoming that state.

.

But Roger Williams discovered that the New World of America was fast becoming a place of religious oppression and intolerance by the rulers of the Puritan denomination.

.

And this was an unthinkable situation, since escaping religious persecution was a major reason why the European pilgrims came here in the first place!

FLEEING FOR HIS LIFE

.

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Roger_Williams_and_Narragansetts.jpg

But Roger William’s plea for religious freedom was not well received by those in power. And soon, this righteous and principled product of God’s amazing grace had to escape for his life from the Puritan leadership for advocating these, “diverse and new and dangerous opinions” (info source: Wikipedia).

.

Thus, Williams had to suffer for nearly three months while escaping from authorities through the harsh winter in Massachusetts. At times, a hollow tree became his nightly shelter from the frigid, snow-covered wilderness.

.

Finally, Williams was mercifully taken in by the Narragansett native Americans, no doubt enjoying his time with them until the spring thaw.

.

Well, the rest is history!

.

Williams eventually rose up to become a well-known and highly respected defender of religious freedom, as well as a friend, defender, and evangelist to many Native Americans.

ATHEISM: 6TH HEAD OF THE ANTICHRIST BEAST

.

Now in yesterday’s devotional, (click here), it was discussed how secularism/atheism took control of the Reformation nations of Europe, and ultimately put to death that great Christian Reformation movement in those states.

.

And this website has many devotionals which focus on how secular atheism and its related ideologies are actually the 6th head of the 7-headed Antichrist Beast of Revelation, Chapters 13 & 17.

.

.

.

APOSTATE PROTESTANTISM: THE 7TH HEAD

.

Nevertheless, Roger Williams encountered another Beast power, a religious one in the form of the apostate “Christian” leadership of that day.

.

And so, even though Satan, through the centuries, persecuted true Christians via the tyrannical church-system of Europe (which was the 5th head of the Antichrist Beast), Williams was now encountering the progenitor of the 7th head of the Antichrist Beast: apostate Protestantism.

.

Oh yes, God worked through Williams to squelch this new beast-power, but only for a time! Because the False Prophet Beast power was to eventually rise up once again, however at a later time.

Well, if the Noble Berean will scroll down to almost the page bottom, he or she can listen to the audio chapter on Roger Williams, and his valiant stand for religious freedom of conscience in the new world of America.

This is Chapter 16 from Ellen White’s book, “The Great Controversy”.

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN

Info & pics of constellations on this site from Wikipedia & International Astronomical Union (click here)

.

.

.

 

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.”

Revelation 12:3

.Dragon of Revelation 12 Constellation

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).

The Sign of The Son of Man in Heaven,

.

Part 2:

“Jesus: The True Way Out of Babylon”

To read part 1, click here…December 3 (The Sign Of The Son Of Man In Heaven, Part 1: “Why Do We Hate Jesus?”)

.

.

.

.

.

.

“For I determined

not to know any thing among you,

save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.”

1st Corinthians 2:2

.                      

.

.

.

Encircling this entire globe is a great sign in Heaven! Perhaps, the greatest of all signs! (This picture is the straightened-out version, while this massive constellation literally curves completely around the globe!)

.

One reason why it is so great is because it is so vast, encompassing both the summer and winter skies! And it is comprised of most all the signs revealed on this website.

.

It is called, “The Sign of the Son of Man in Heaven” Constellation, even as it is revealed in Matthew 24:30…“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.”

.

Yes, here is the most remarkable of all signs in heaven!

GRAND MASTER LEVEL

.

But to really see this sign requires the star-gazer to achieve a, “grand-master status”, so to speak, in the Signs Of Heaven. (Well, perhaps that earthly title is not such an appropriate term.)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Starry_Night_at_La_Silla.jpg

.

Nevertheless, to see this great constellation first requires one to become fully familiar with all the other signs revealed on these two websites (www.devouringfire.com and www.theheavensdeclare.net)

.

But once the reader does achieve (or rather, “receive”) a thorough familiarity with all these other signs, then that reader can go out and see this granddaddy of all signs, “The Sign of the Son of Man in Heaven Constellation”! (There is, however one other great sign which has not yet been revealed, because of its complexity)

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

Revelation 18:4

.

Well, this Constellation of constellations perhaps makes an appropriate finale to these signs of heaven.

.

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Genesis19-17.jpgBecause this Son of Man Constellation pretty much sums up the true Way to come out of Babylon.

.

You see, the Christian community has brought many things of the world into the Gospel of Christ: sports, comedians, games, sex-appeal, sensual music, the recording industry, the television industry, prosperity-driven gospels, celebrities, ethnicity, cultural traditions, non-biblical jargon, unbiblical doctrines, joking preachers, and a host of other worldly additions.

CHURCH-WORLD GOBBLED UP AND ASSIMILATED

.

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Every_day.jpgThis is why God has renamed the churches and denominations, “Babylon”.

.

Because, when the church-community becomes so intertwined with the pleasures and treasures and proud pursuits of this Babylonish world, it unknowingly has been gobbled up and digested, and assimilated into the warp-and-woof of this Babylonish world.

.

And now, the entire church-world with its denominations and local congregations has become an integral part of Babylon!

SEPARATION OF THE WHEAT & TARES

.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Vannage_du_riz,_Uttarakhand,_India.jpg

But God is not going to give up on us so easily! No, but rather, just as He called His original Christians out of the desolate synagogues, back in the days of the early Church, so now, He is calling His faithful ones out of the desolate church-world.

.

It is the time of separation, long-foretold…“As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world…Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father.” (see Matthew, Chapter 13 (click here)

.

Yes, the time has come for the wheat and tares to be separated from each other. The tares will remain in Babylon, the apostate church-world. The wheat shall come out.

Yes, just how does a man, woman, or child come out of this Babylonish confusion?

.

Very simple! God is calling us to “walk even as He (Jesus) walked.” 1st John 2:6

.

This is the essence of coming out of Babylon: to cast away all unbiblical doctrine and earthly idols and simply let the purity of the Gospel of Christ become our all in all!

“I AM THE DOOR”Narrow Gate Which leads To Life Everlasting

.

And so, this great Sign of the Son of Man Constellation shines brightly in heaven, as a great reminder that Jesus is the true Door to eternal life!

.

And nothing else but Jesus will fit through that Door! 

.

“ALL ABOARD!”

.

And so, the call goes out to every man, woman, and child to come and enter into the Ark, which is ready to depart out of this sad and hopeless world.

.

And its destination is Heaven! And its guide-map is the Bible. And the only passport needed is a mustard-seed of faith!

.

And whether at home in bed, or in a wheel-chair, or incarcerated, or at work, or even at recreation with the family, the Door is very near, and open wide enough for you and Jesus (in you) to enter in!

TODAY’S FEATURED SIGN

“Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 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 24:29, 3o

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.

.Son Of Man Constellation

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.)

.

And just like the Bible God has made these signs in such a way, that they are true enough for the Believers to believe; but doubtful enough for the scorners to scorn.   

.

“With the merciful Thou wilt show Thyself merciful; with an upright man Thou wilt show Thyself upright; With the pure Thou wilt show Thyself pure; and with the froward Thou wilt show Thyself froward. For Thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks. Psalm 18:25-27

Daily Devotional, Year 3 – December 15

.

.

.

.

A 3-Finger Judgment-Day,

.

Part 5:

“Every Man…His Labor…This Is The Gift of God”

To read Part 1, click here…January 20th (3 Fingered Judgment-Day)

.

.

.

.

.

“Every man also

to whom God hath given riches and wealth…

and to rejoice in his labour…

this is the gift of God.”

Ecclesiastes 5:19

.

.

.

.

.

THREE FINGERS POINTING BACK

.

God has designed nature to be functional.

.

But in His infinite wisdom, He has also designed nature to teach spiritual lessons.

.

And the human hand is no exception! Beside being a marvel of functionality, the human hand teaches us lessons.

.

.

.

.

.

THREE FINGERS POINTING BACK!

.

And even this unbelieving world sees the truth about finger-pointing.

.

And that lesson is, that when a person points the accusing finger at another, then there are three other fingers on his own hand, which point right back at him!

.

This is a common saying in the world…“When you point your finger at another, there are three fingers pointing back at you!”

.

Haven’t you heard this saying before? 

.

.

.

GOD THREATENS US ABOUT JUDGING!

.

God tells us plainly…

“Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man,

whosoever thou art that judgest:

for wherein thou judgest another,

thou condemnest thyself;

for thou that judgest doest the same things.”

Romans 2:1

.

With such an indictment as this above verse points out, how can we still point the accusing finger at others?

Yes, whenever we point the accusing finger at somebody else, there are indeed, three fingers pointing right back at us!

.

And of course, the number “three” is the very number of the Godhead, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

“FOR I AM HOLIER THAN THOU!”

Isaiah 65:5

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tissot_The_Pharisee_and_the_publican_Brooklyn.jpg.

The Pharisees were a self-righteous class which ruled over the common people, as recorded in the four Gospels.

.

And because of their proud, self-exaltation, they enjoyed putting down all those whom they deemed less worthy of Heaven than they…“Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou.” Isaiah 65:5

.

Thus, the Parable of the Publican and the Pharisee is a very revealing contrast between those who are humble and those who are arrogant.

.

PHARISEEISM NOTHING MORE THAN FOOLISH PRIDEhttp://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tissot_The_Pharisee_and_the_publican_Brooklyn.jpg

.

And even though we no longer have that particular class of religious leaders, nevertheless, the spirit of Pharisaism is still alive and well, both in the Church, as well as in secular society.

.

Yes, Pharisaism is nothing more than foolish human pride.

.

It existed in Lucifer’s heart while still in Heaven, and has been transferred down to this earth, via him and his fellow rebel angels.

Yes, even though we cannot see them, these dark forces of evil rule over this fallen world, bringing us into the same antichrist spirit as they.

.

“THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NO NOT ONE!”

Romans 3:10

.

Now, the fact is, pride exists within the heart of each member of the human family.https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Virgo_(11).jpg

.

And so, none of us can hold our head up high, nor imagine ourselves to be more righteous than anyone else.

.

We all stand guilty before God, our truly righteous Judge!

“A MAN…SHOULD…ENJOY…HIS LABOR…IT WAS (AND IS) FROM…GOD”

Ecclesiastes 2:24

.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:PalmercarpenterA.jpgAnd one great truth that must be learned and remembered is found in the following verse, which is today’s opening Bible passage…

“Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth,

and hath given him power to eat thereof,

and to take his portion,

and to rejoice in his labour;

this is the gift of God.”

Ecclesiastes 5:19

.

Here is a very revealing truth; a truth which the Pharisees did not know, or at least, did not understand: that a person’s wealth is the gift of God, and should not be taken for granted.

.

No, whatever a person’s riches happen to be, whether money, beauty, intelligence, position, honor, strength, wisdom, or even Salvation: ultimately these earthly riches are the gift of God.

Thus, should the possessors thereof be humble and grateful to God for any of these riches, whether physical riches, or spiritual riches! 

.

.

.

.

.

.

HANDICAPS ALSO FROM GOD!

.

But the Bible also informs us that poverty, whether literal or spiritual is likewise from https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Christ_and_the_pauper.jpgGod…

“And the LORD said unto him (Moses),

Who hath made man’s mouth?

or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind?

have not I the LORD?”

Exodus 4:11

.

Yes, those who are blind, whether literally or spiritually, have been ultimately made that way by God.

And God is not ashamed to take credit for such sad circumstances.

.

After all, God could have prevented a person from going blind.

.

Likewise, He can easily restore someone’s eyesight if He chooses to do so.

.

.

.

.

“JUDGE NOT, THAT YE BE NOT JUDGED!”

Matthew 7:1

.

 And take those, for example, who are destined to become beggars and street-people: all these have been ultimately placed in that position by God.

.

After all, God reveals several places in Ecclesiastes it is He that ultimately gives riches to a person. 

Oh yes, quite often it is Satan who is directly responsible for giving a man or woman their earthly health and wealth, or robbing them of their health and wealth.

.

But the Devil can do nothing without the Lord’s permission.

.

Drunk Panhandler-wikipedia-public-domain-

.

.

.

.

.

“DAY OF THE LORD…SHALL BE UPON (THE) PROUD AND LOFTY”

Isaiah 2:12

.

Well, perhaps the lesson to be learned here is that God has placed each man, woman, and child in their own particular life circumstances.

.

And so, none of us should hold our heads up high, nor pat ourselves on the back because of whatever riches we may possess. It is the gift of God.

.

And quite often, those gifts can become a real curse in our lives.

.

And the Pharisees only proved that point by their pompous and arrogant attitude towards others.

And yet, in His great love, our Heavenly Father has put each of us in our very own circumstances for various reasons:

1. To discover for our own self, that “my selfish ways do not bring me true happiness or peace, but rather bring sorrow, disappointment, and ultimately, sickness and death”.

2. In hopes that I might grow tired and weary of my selfish ways, and at last, begin to seek out to find Him, and return to Him forever.

.

Yes, the day has arrived in which those of us who looked down our noses at others might just wake up to discover that “I” am now the one begging on the street-corner or “I” am now the drunkard lying in the gutter, etc….

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY”

Proverbs 25:25

.

Well, the Good News is, that today is still the day of Salvation!

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Angel_prayers.jpg

.

And so, let each of us fall down (spiritually, not literally) before God, and plead for deliverance from all foolish human pride, that we might instead reflect the meekness and humility of lowly Jesus who promises us…“Come…and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.” (read Matthew 11:28-30)

.

Yes, pride and arrogance ultimately will bring unhappiness to our hearts, which is a heavy burden to bear.

.

But with Christ’s meek and lowly Spirit abiding in our hearts, we can find true peace and rest unto our souls!

“THE SCORNER (THE PHARISEE)”

.

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Once_in_a_Blue_Moon_(40034339832).jpgPlease 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.

THIS BEAST WITHIN

.

Well, the Bible has much to say about Pharisees. And the Bible has much to say about wolves, and foxes, and dogs.

And this wolf-face inscribed in the Moon has much to tell us about ourselves.

So, if you are a truth-seeker, then this article will be an eye-opener, as we explore just what the Bible has to say about these things.

And the fact is, this Pharisee Moon-Beast is in the heart of each and every human.

And so, if you (or me) find that this wolf-man has some things in common, please don’t despair.

For God is giving us these signs, while there still is time.

While there still is hope.

.

.

.

.

.

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.

Daily Devotional, Year 3 – November 30 (Eternal Torment? Part 30: “He…Preached To The Spirits In Prison”)

Eternal Torment?

.

Part 30:

“He…Preached To The Spirits In Prison”

To read Part 1, click here… “September 8th (Eternal Torment?)”

.

.

.

.

.

 

“For Christ…quickened by the Spirit:

By which also He went and preached

unto the spirits in prison;

Which sometime were disobedient,

when once the longsuffering of God

waited in the days of Noah,

while the ark was a preparing,

wherein few, that is,

eight souls were saved by water.”

1st Peter 3:18-20

.

.

.

.

.

Back in the Dark Ages of Europe, the apostate and corrupt churches began to embrace the false doctrine that God has some fiery subterranean chamber of horrors in which He mercilessly torments forever, all those who rejected the call to Salvation.

.

Of course, this doctrine has no true Biblical validation, but is based on some really sloppy Bible interpretation by that same tyrannical church of the Dark Ages (which church denomination, by the way, tortured and tormented their own detractors: Christians who rejected that apostate church denomination were often tortured, burned to death, and/or imprisoned in cruel holds.)

“THERE SHALL BE SIGNS IN THE SUN…MOON AND…STARS”

Luke 21:25

.www.theheavensdeclare.net

But long, long ago, in the beginning, our infinitely wise God had already configured the stars in such a way that the Gospel was displayed in pictures, via, the great constellations!

.

And one of the most infamous constellations is the Revelation 12 Dragon, as it seemingly spews out a wave of water, just as it is written…“And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon…And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman (the Church), that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.” Revelation 12:3, 15

.

.

.

.

.

.

7 STARS OF WAVE-OF-WATER = DRAGON’S 7 HEADS

.Dragon of Revelation 12 Constellation

Now just what does this amazing Revelation 12 Dragon Constellation have to do with today’s devotional?

.

Well, if the Reader will carefully examine the wave of water being spewed out of the mouth of this Dragon, there are 7 primary stars which this wave is comprised of (there are also 3 more, less bright stars, #8, #9, #10, which comprise the very tip of the crest of this wave).

.

This wave of water with 7 stars coincides with the 7 heads of the Antichrist beast.

.

MULTI-FACETED BEAST REPRESENTING SATAN’S KINGDOM

.

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Burgkmair_whore_babylon_color.jpgNow, as Revelation 17:9, 10 informs us concerning the Antichrist Beast…

“And here is the mind which hath wisdom.

The seven heads (of the 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 so, from this above passage it becomes clear that this Revelation 12 Dragon is actually a spiritual and allegorical picture of Satan’s kingdom. And these 7 heads are 7 mountains on which the woman (the apostate church) sits upon. But these 7 heads are also 7 kings. In other words, it is speaking of kings and kingdoms (mountains).

.

.

.

.

.

.

7 STARS of THIS WAVE = 7 HEADS = 7 MOUNTAINS = 7 KINGDOMS

.

Now before this little devotional gets too complex, let it merely be stated that the 5th star of this wave constellation represents the 5th head of the Dragon. And without a complicated and detailed explanation, let it suffice for now to be said that the 5th head (and the 5th star) represents the 5th kingdom which has ruled over God’s people.

.

And that kingdom was the apostate churches of Europe during the Dark Ages.

.

Well, there are a number of articles on this website concerning this phenomenon.

.

.

.

.

.

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Avvakum_by_Myasoyedov.jpegEACH HEAD REPRESENTS VARIOUS ASPECTS OF ANTICHRIST BEAST

.

But let’s move on to what all this has to do with the heretical false doctrine commonly referred to as “Eternal Torment”.

.

Yes, it was this 5th head of Antichrist that actually represented the fallen churches of Europe during those bloody centuries of persecution against God’s chosen and faithful remnant people.

2ND PETER 3:18-20

.

But today’s devotional will focus on just one particular aspect of that false church.

.

Listen to 1st Peter 3:18-20…

.

“For Christ…quickened by the Spirit:

By which also He went and preached

unto the spirits in prison;

Which sometime were disobedient,

when once the longsuffering of God

waited in the days of Noah,

while the ark was a preparing,

wherein few, that is,

eight souls were saved by water.”

1st Peter 3:18-20

.

This above passage is one of the most mis-interpreted passages in the Bible by those faulty and apostate theologians of that time period.

.

.

.

.

.

PRISON-HOUSE OF SIN

.

When Peter mentions, “spirits in prison”, the apostate church of Europe during the Dark Ages took this to be speaking of some underground chamber of horrors.

.https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Addiction_is_life_jail.jpg

But nothing could be further from the truth! Peter was merely referring to the Spirit of Christ who preached the Gospel of Christ to those who lived before the time of the Cross, and especially those defiantly lost souls with whom the Spirit pleaded, as the Great flood of Noah’s day approached.

.

And the prison spoken of in 1st Peter refers to the prison-house of sin that we all lived in prior to our salvation…

“In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves;

if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;

And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil,

who are taken captive by him at his will.”

2nd Timothy 2:25, 26

.

Here is revealed that those who are lost souls, are actually captives and prisoners of the Devil! But God reassures us in 1st Peter, that Christ, via the Holy Spirit, preached the Good News even as far back as the pre-flood era!

ENDLESS ROASTING IN HELL?

.

And let’s not get the crazy notion, that when Christ went to the grave for three days/nights, He preached the Gospel to those who were being hopelessly roasted in some underground cavern for thousands of years. 

.

Such false doctrines as this are the most mindless nonsense and are still being preached in the apostate church-world, even to this very day!

“COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tissot_The_Flight_of_the_Prisoners.jpg

Revelation 18:4

.

Well, here is just one more reason to join the end-time exodus out of spiritual Babylon.

.

Yes, God’s remnant people are finding an abundance of heavenly bread and spiritual waters upon every high hill and mountain in this very day in which the towers (churches) have fallen! (see Isaiah 30:25 and 33:16)

God has placed two flower constellations up in the night-sky.

.

In the spring appears ‘The Flower of the Field’ (picture right).

.

But in late winter appears ‘The Flower of Heaven’ (picture left).

.

These two flower constellations present the two classes of people in the world: the “redeemed” souls and the “lost” ones.

“ALL FLESH IS AS GRASS, AND…THE FLOWER OF GRASS”

1st Peter 1:24

.

The fact is, most all of us begin life as a flower of the field…“As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.” Psalm 103:15

.

This and several other similar verses present this poetic analogy of Mankind. Our very limited lifespan is like the grass, and our glory is like a fading flower.

.

We begin life as a fresh new baby. We grow up and flourish until about the age of 21. But then, we slowly begin to deteriorate. By the age of 30, we begin to show a few signs of aging. And then, by 40 we become noticeably aged. And from then on, the aging process seems to accelerate. We eventually begin to bow down. We might even lose some of our teeth.

“THE GRASS WITHERS, AND THE FLOWER FALLS AWAY”

1st Peter 1:24http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Galanthus_nivalis_(snowdrop)_flower_FS17.jpg

.

Truly, Mankind’s glory is like the flower that begins so pretty and bright! But as the summer passes, it begins to lose its petals. And as autumn sets in, that little flower begins to bow down and lose its beauty.

.

Eventually, a cold blast of winter causes that once beautiful flower to finally die.

.

This is Man’s fate! There’s no escaping our death sentence!

GOD HAS PROVIDED “A WAY TO ESCAPE’

1st Corinthians 10:13

.

This massive constellation is comprised of the various constellations on this websiteYou see, even though our mortal bodies are doomed, yet our soul does not need to die. Yes, the One who gave His life and suffered on the hill called Calvary, has provided a way of escape for all those who place their implicit trust in His infallible Word of truth.

.

This is where that “Flower of Heaven Constellation” comes into play. Yes, even though we begin life as an earth-hugging little flower, the Lord is able to transplant our heart and soul as a fruitful vine in heavenly soil!

.

And as we look up in late winter, the year-long progression of the signs written in the Sun, Moon, and stars comes to its conclusion with this flower appearing as if clinging to the “Altar Constellation”!

.

While it once was doomed to die in its earthly condition as a flower of the field, it now has seemingly hitched a ride on this “Altar Constellation” in the sky, also seen in late winter.

.

THE BRIDE OF CHRIST AS A FRUITFUL VINE!

.

Of course this reminds us of Psalm 128:1-3…“Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in His ways…Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.”

In this above verse is a picture of a man’s family like living fruit trees. And this man’s wife is like a fruit-filled vine by the sides of his house.

.

But also, here is a great portrait of Christ and His bride, the Church!

.

No, not the various denominations, but God’s elect and chosen ones: individual souls, saved by grace.

THE FLOWER “HITCHES A RIDE” TO HEAVEN!

.

Like that flowered vine constellation, the saved soul hitches a ride Heavenward on the Altar of God Constellation.

.

And miraculously, this little flower no longer clings to the earth, but is destined for everlasting life in the Promised Land, the Paradise which God has provided for all His faithful redeemed ones!

.

It is a Land in which pain, and suffering, and crying, and mourning have all been vanquished away forevermore!

.

“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” Revelation 21:4

.

It is a land filled with beauty and laughter and joy unspeakable, where we will never grow old, but be forever young!

A FLOWER OF EARTH OR OF HEAVEN?

.

And so, back to our original question in today’s devotional, “Are you a flower of the field, hopelessly doomed to live and die in this cursed earth? Or have you been miraculously transplanted into Heaven’s soil: a flower of Heaven which will never ever fall away and die?”

.

That is the one and only truly important question of life!

.

That is the greatest question of all questions!

“Where there is no vision, the people perish” Proverbs 29:18

.

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Elakala_Waterfalls_Swirling_Pool_Mossy_Rocks.jpg

.

In the beginning, God placed our first parents in a beautiful garden. But as a result of sin, this world lost much of its beauty. The curse has marred, to a great extent, the pristine condition of nature. In spite of that, God has mercifully left enough beauty in nature for mankind to enjoy.

.

FAMOUS CARTOON

.

But though this world retains much beauty, there are still many, who are under the impression, that God’s redeemed will spend all eternity sitting on a puffy little cloud, strumming a harp. Whoever is responsible for that infamous cartoon of a man with a harp, sitting on a little cloud, was unwittingly doing the Devil’s bidding. Lucifer would love nothing more, than for people to have the discouraging notion, that Heaven is just a puffy little cloud, with nothing going on, day after day, for all eternity. Nothing could be further from the truth!

.

.

Do we really imagine that the same God who created that incredible garden for our first parents, would then put us through all this sorrow and hardships, only to now stick us in some boring situation, for eternity? Such people don’t know God nearly well enough.

.

Sin and rebellion has marred the original beauty of this present world. But in spite of that, there still remains some of the beauty that this planet originally possessed. But marred as it is, still the beauty and innocent joys of this present world, are just a faint reflection of what awaits all those who persevere on the upward pathway to that Celestial City of God.

.

.

.

.

.

CATCH A VISION OF THAT PROMISED LAND!

.

“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.” Revelation 21:1, 2

.

So Signs Of Heaven encourages the reader to begin to get a vision of the New Heaven and New Earth, and begin to get excited about it. When we hear the cry of a new born baby, or the innocent laughter of little children. When we see a little forest creature having fun, or we enjoy a walk along the sand at the ocean, and hear the majestic roar of the crashing waves.

.

“Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered. ” Psalm 40:5.

.

These, and the many other joys of life were created by the One who has also gone to prepare an even more beautiful place for us to live. He knows our needs, and will provide a place far more wonderful home than this sin-cursed Earth.

.

And when we finally cross that river, and we stand together on the shores of that world to come, we will look in amazement at what He has in store for us there. And then we will know for certain, that “His mercy endures forever”,  because, “God is love”!

Daily Devotional, Year 3 – November 24

.

.

Sodom Rising?

.

Part 15:

“Woe To You Who Offend These Little Ones!”

To read part 1 of this article, click here… “August 22nd (Sodom Rising!)”

.

.

.

.

.

“It were better for him

that a millstone were hanged about his neck,

and he cast into the sea,

than that he should offend one of these little ones.”

Luke 17:2

.

.

.

.

 

.

In this current heated political battle now raging in our land, there has been a newly attained, so-called, “moral high-ground”.

.

However, the critics of this so-called, “morality movement”, point out that this is the very same political group, which for decades has been leading society downward into a moral abyss, as they embrace, “Free Love” and sexual immorality, even of the worst types!

.

Yes, via television news programs, society is daily witnessing many famous persons publicly accused of being sexually aggressive in their past, and sometimes even in their present-day lives!

.

.

.

.

.

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Brown_tree_snake_Boiga_irregularis_2_USGS_Photograph.jpgTRUE REPENTANCE OR JUST DOUBLE-TONGUED HYPOCRISY?

.

Now, one religious commentator concluded that if our current-day society was truly repenting of its immorality, then “that would be wonderful!”

.

“But”, this commentator continued, “if this is merely a political chess-move designed to destroy their political opponents, then of course, this entire so-called morality movement is little more than double-tongued hypocrisy and deceit!”

.

And, as one might guess, this commentator was right, since there emerged a double-standard by this political party as they mostly tried to destroy those of the opposing political party, while greatly ignoring and excusing violators of their own party

SODOM’S PREDATORY BEHAVIOR

.

Now, the Bible likewise addresses this issue of sexual predators.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Figures_The_Sodomites_are_smitten_with_blindness.jpg

.

Yes, in the Book of Genesis, it is written…

“But before they (Lot and his guests) lay down,

the men…of Sodom, compassed the house round,

both old and young, all the people from every quarter:

And they called unto Lot, and said unto him,

Where are the men which came in to thee this night?

bring them out unto us,

that we may know them (commit sodomy with them).”

Genesis 19:4, 5

.

Now here is seen that the entire city came out at night with the intention of forcefully sodomizing Lot’s two heaven-sent guests.

.

Well, as we know, this heinous crime never was completed, but only resulted in the fire & brimstone deluge of that entire valley the next morning (you can still find an abundance of brimstone on the ground around the outer vicinity of the Dead Sea, where Sodom once existed. Just go to YouTube to see various videos).

.

“AS IN THE DAYS OF LOT…THUS SHALL IT BE…WHEN THE SON OF MAN SHALL BE REVEALED”

Luke 17:28, 30https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jazz_Jennings_2016.jpg

.

Now, the reason for bringing this story of Sodom’s last night to remembrance is because we are now seeing a somewhat similar situation developing in our present-day society! 

.

Yes, there is a social movement occurring in our school systems in which the sin of Sodom is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Heather_Has_Two_Mommies_cover.jpgnow beginning to be encouraged among students.

.

That’s right, we’re just starting to see school-age children being indoctrinated to accept the notion that sexual intercourse is just fine for students to engage in!

.

And equally grievous, “the sin of Sodom” is now being promoted in the same public schools which were once the moral bastion for all school-age children!

.

And many parents are even joining in on this assault, encouraging their very own young children to embrace homosexuality, and gender reassignment surgery, even chopping off vital body parts!

“IN THE LAST DAYS…EVIL MEN AND SEDUCERS SHALL WAX WORSE AND WORSE…”

2nd Timothy 3:1, 13

.

Now most people will agree, that to groom young, innocent, and easily impressionable children, twisting and perverting their minds to accept and embrace sexual immorality and even to personally engage in it, more than adequately fits the very definition of “predatory behavior”!

.

And this kind of perverting of young minds, which is now being committed by adults and parents who ought to know better, is an extremely heinous crime against little children, against society, and certainly against Heaven itself!

“WOE UNTO YOU…HYPOCRITES…WHICH STRAIN AT A GNAT AND SWALLOW A CAMEL!”

Matthew 23:23, 24

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:At_a_loss.svg.

And so, that same, previously quoted religious commentator then alluded to the following question,

“Why are these societal leaders so troubled about politicians engaging in sexually predatory behavior,

while at the same time promoting sexual immorality via the modern media?

Don’t they understand that our society’s sexual immorality often results in random incidents of predatory behavior?

.

The commentator then concluded by the observation…

“What society needs to do,

is to stop flooding the media with all this sexual immorality,

and those random acts of predatory behavior would greatly be diminished!”

“COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM, AND BE YE SEPARATE!”

2nd Corinthians 6:17

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Homeschoolers_playing_Dutch_Blitz_at_picnic_gathering.jpg.

Well, the very best thing to do would be to pull their children out of public schooling.

.

After all, even if this immoral indoctrination wasn’t going on, most public schools are now actively grooming children to accept atheism, socialism, evolution, and other similar atheistic philosophies. So, this, in itself, is reason enough to pull Christian children out of public schooling!

.

Now of course, to begin such a noble endeavor would be much easier said than actually done! Yes, because of so many extenuating circumstances in the personal lives of Christian parents, it would not be so easy for many of them to provide home-schooling for their children.

.

But having said that, it nevertheless would be better to live on beans and potatoes than to allow this immoral society to twist and pervert the minds of their children!

SATAN, “THE GOD OF THIS WORLD”

2nd Corinthians 4:4

.

And let’s face it! The real predator here is none other than, “the god of this world”, Lucifer, now called Satan.

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

.

No, it is not merely humans who are the actual perpetrators in this orchestrated effort to brainwash school-age children into sexual immorality.

.

Rather, it is Satan who is the true predator in his attacks upon the human race, and upon God’s people! 

.

And “we are not ignorant of his devices”, as 2nd Corinthians 2:11 reveals!

ORION GETS THE VICTORY

.

.

.

Now if you will stay up all night, you will see that the tables turn very dramatically for our three warriors.

.

This is because, as night progresses, and this constellation group moves to the west, God has designed this threesome to now be in the opposite circumstance.

Now it is Orion and his Horse who are atop the Dragon. Now Orion is about to cut off the Dragon’s head with his two-edged sword, while the Horse is stomping on his tail.

And of course, there needs to be no explanation, because this picture tells the whole story.

Jesus wins in the end! God’s people are victorious at last!

No wonder the Bible calls this story…“The Good News”!

“And all the inhabitants of the earth

are reputed as nothing:

and He (God) doeth according to His will

in the army of Heaven,

and among the inhabitants of the earth:

and none can stay His hand,

or say unto Him, What doest Thou?”  

Daniel 4:35

.

.

.

.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Martin,_John_-_Satan_presiding_at_the_Infernal_Council_-_1824.JPGIn yesterday’s devotional (click here), Lucifer was given a whole lot of credit for what goes on in this world.

.

And so, in effort to bring balance to this issue, today’s devotional will be a reminder that God is ultimately in control of what goes on here on Planet Earth.

.

GOD IN ULTIMATE CONTROL.

.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Martin,_John_-_Satan_presiding_at_the_Infernal_Council_-_1824.JPGListen to our signature passage for the day…

“And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing:

and He (God) doeth according to His will in the army of Heaven,

and among the inhabitants of the earth:

and none can stay His hand,

or say unto Him, What doest Thou?”  

Daniel 4:35

.

So, here it states that God does His own will, both in Heaven, and also on earth.

.

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

.

.

.

.

.

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:At_a_loss.svgWell, just how does this statement go hand-in-hand with yesterday’s sweeping premise that Lucifer, “the god of this world”, causes so much of what goes on here? (2nd Corinthians 4:4)

Question Mark – Wikimedia – Public Domain

.

.

.

.

.

“ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD!”

.

http://www.joyfulheart.com/easter/tissot-passion.htm

Actually, the Bible has a number of accounts in which God allowed Satan to do evil, for the purpose of ultimately bringing about good.

.

For instance, remember how Satan demanded permission to sift Peter like wheat? God allowed Satan to tempt Peter for Peter’s own good. Peter had a lot of rough edges, which his fall from grace ultimately drove out his pride, impulsiveness, and self-reliance.

.

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Job_and_his_friends.jpgAnd God likewise allowed Satan to cause trouble, anguish, and temptation in the life of Job, for the same purpose as Peter’s trials, which were designed to purify, to humble, to make less-self-reliant.

.

And so, these two examples, plus other similar Bible examples give us a fuller understanding, “that all things work together for good to them that love God…” Romans 8:28

.

Here is seen that God works through the day-by-day occurrences of this life, in order to help His people.

.

.

.

GOD USES RADIO AND INTERNET FOR GOOD

.

Now yesterday’s devotional (click here) made a lot of bold claims concerning Satan’s role in orchestrating both the people of the world as well as many of the world’s events. For instance, Satan was given credit for the invention of the various high-tech devices available in today’s world.

.

So just how does this fit in with the truth that God “worketh all things together for good”?

.

Well, for one thing, such inventions like the Internet, while making a whole lot of evil readily available, can also be the source for wholesome Christian ministries. Oh yes, the Internet searcher must exercise great discernment regarding which Internet ministries to embrace and which not to embrace!

.

.

.

.

.

.

“CHOOSE YE THIS DAY…”

Joshua 24:15

.

But the point is, while Satan, “the god of this world” is that spirit which “now worketh in the children of disobedience”, nevertheless God uses him in a way that brings about ultimate good for the people of God.

.

Yes, God has allowed Satan to raise up this antichrist world-system, so that it may be made manifest the two forms of government: Lucifer’s government of selfishness, and God’s government of selfless love!

.

.

.

.

.

.

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY!”

Proverbs 25:25

https://theheavensdeclare.net/castor-pollux/.

Well, the very Good News is that even though we’ve come to the final closing moments of this world of evil, there is still time for any and for every soul who desires to begin the end-time exodus out of this doomed planet, before it erupts into a fiery deluge!

.

Yes, the Door of escape is still open! And the final call is now beginning to go out…

“And an highway shall be there,

and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness…”

Isaiah 35:8

.

Yes, there is, indeed, a heavenward highway out of this doomed world, soon to be burned with fire!

.

And all those who embark upon this upward pathway will eventually reach that wonderful Promised Land, in which we will be forever happy, and forever young!

LOCATING THE DRAGON

.

REVELATION 12 DRAGON IS NOT DRACO!

.

.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:DracoCC.jpg

First, let it be stated, that this Dragon Constellation is not the same constellation commonly referred to as “Draco” (photo to right is Draco).

.

This Revelation 12 Dragon from Signs Of Heaven, has not been previously recognized.

But you will discover that it is a very intricate and complex constellation, once you are comfortable locating it (picture below, right).

.

 REVELATION 12 DRAGON  

.

Revelation 12 Dragon w/text

.

The star-charts below (below, right) are from Wikipedia and are combined into one chart to show these three constellations, which the editor has sketched over with these three constellations, as they appear when in the west.

Hopefully, this will be an assist in locating these constellations in the night-sky.

.

.

.

.

.

.

LOCATION…

.

The Revelation 12 Dragon Constellation can be located by finding Orion in winter months.

Wikipedia star-charts winter constellation in West

.

The Dragon is to Orion’s left, and the Dragon’s mouth is right next to Orion’s shield.

This Dragon’s mouth is the V-like constellation The Hyades Cluster, which is also known as the head of Taurus the Bull.

The Dragon’s tail-tip is Pleiades and the lower shaft of his tail is partly of Aries  and Pisces.

Then with aid of a dark and starry night, you may begin to connect the mouth and the tail with a very long body in an oval shape.

The front and back legs are made of a few stars: the front legs partially of stars from Taurus .

The back legs and rear fin are made of 6 stars from the Cetus Constellation.

.

BODY HARD TO SEE

.

The long oval-shaped body has relatively few stars, but can been seen, howbeit with a dark, starry night. The four stars of the front fins are made partially of Taurus .

You gave us a world in which we could pursue our small (or great) list of dreams! You made us burn in romantic desire! You made “the young girls cry” and the young men sick as a “hunk of burning love!”

.

This world was your Globe Theater! And all the world wondered after this beast-like world-system.

.

And all the world worshipped you because of this Garden of Earthly Delights which you created and gave to us!

.

.

.

.

.

.

So before the curtain closes one last time, we would bow before you: you, O Lucifer, Son of the Morning!

.

Yes, it was you who gave us the great world religions! And you built for us the grand cathedrals! And in these, we worshipped you and loved you and reverenced you, because you gave us our religions which promised of Heaven while still allowing us to live for and to love this present world-system! You were our “Angel of Light” and the god of this proud and selfish world! You were that other “jesus”, that other “spirit”, and that other “gospel”! And we loved and adored you, O Lucifer! (2nd Corinthians 11:4)

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY!”

Proverbs 25:25

.

Well, needless to say, this is not a very happy elegy concerning this world of woe. But the truth is often sad and even very unnerving at times: but only by the Truth found in the Bible, can a soul be truly set free!

.

But the Good News is that Heaven’s doors are still open for any and every longing soul who wishes to renounce this present world-system, and make their end-time exodus out of it. Yes, there is still an upward highway in which Heaven-bound pilgrims may climb up its gently ascending slope to a land flowing with milk and honey: an everlasting place in which this sad ol’ world will be just a dark and distant memory!

.

So please renounce this present evil world and join this joy-filled journey to everlasting life!

.

To everlasting love! 

.

To a land in which we will never grow old, but will truly be forever young!

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN

LOCATING THE DRAGON

.

REVELATION 12 DRAGON IS NOT DRACO!

.

.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:DracoCC.jpg

First, let it be stated, that this Dragon Constellation is not the same constellation commonly referred to as “Draco” (photo to right is Draco).

.

This Revelation 12 Dragon from Signs Of Heaven, has not been previously recognized.

But you will discover that it is a very intricate and complex constellation, once you are comfortable locating it (picture below, right).

REVELATION 12 DRAGON

.

Revelation 12 Dragon w/text

.

The star-charts below (below, right) are from Wikipedia and are combined into one chart to show these three constellations, which the editor has sketched over with these three constellations, as they appear when in the west.

Hopefully, this will be an assist in locating these constellations in the night-sky.

.

.

.

.

.

.

LOCATION…

.

The Revelation 12 Dragon Constellation can be located by finding Orion in winter months.

Wikipedia star-charts winter constellation in West

.

The Dragon is to Orion’s left, and the Dragon’s mouth is right next to Orion’s shield.

This Dragon’s mouth is the V-like constellation The Hyades Cluster, which is also known as the head of Taurus the Bull.

The Dragon’s tail-tip is Pleiades and the lower shaft of his tail is partly of Aries and Pisces.

Then with aid of a dark and starry night, you may begin to connect the mouth and the tail with a very long body in an oval shape.

The front and back legs are made of a few stars: the front legs partially of stars from Taurus.

The back legs and rear fin are made of 6 stars from the Cetus Constellation.

.

BODY HARD TO SEE

.

The long oval-shaped body has relatively few stars, but can been seen, howbeit with a dark, starry night. The four stars of the front fins are made partially of Taurus .

How Do I See These Signs Of Heaven?

.

Part 6:

“Ye Must Be Born Again!”

To read Part 1, go here…January 2nd (How Do I See These Signs of Heaven?)

.

.

.

.

.

“Open Thou mine eyes,

that I may behold wondrous

things out of Thy law.”

Psalm 119:18

.

.

.

.

.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Starry_Night_at_La_Silla.jpg

.

The editor of this website was shown many, or perhaps most of these heavenly signs in a moment, not even looking for them.

.

It was truly the gift of God and not by any good work on the part of this very fallible and very weak human.

“YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN!”

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:William_Brassey_Hole_Nicodemus.jpg

John 3:7

.

But for anyone to truly see these signs, will most likely require what Jesus told Nicodemus by night…“Ye must be born again!” John 3:7

.

After all, Nicodemus was a ruler of the Jews! He held a high and prestigious office!

.

And yet, he had never truly become Born Again. He had never received a new heart. Oh yes, he was very moral. And his greeting to Jesus showed that he was well-polished in manners.

.

.

.

.

MANY TODAY, ARE LIKE NICODEMUS

.

Well, Nichttps://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:USMC-081218-M-4507D-001.jpgodemus represents many who likewise serve in the Church, but they too, have never received a new heart.

.

And without this new heart, they have no true Salvation.

.

Salvation is a supernatural experience. It is an all-encompassing Spirit in which the true Believer now sees all of life from a heavenly vantage point! No longer does that person think in terms of gaining the pleasures and proud, ambitious attainments of the world.

.

Oh yes, that Believer seeks to provide for the wants and needs of his or her family. But now, through the grace of God, these duties are performed through the eyes of Jesus with the over-arching desire for their Salvation.

.

“BUT ASK NOW THE BEASTS, AND THEY SHALL TEACH THEE”

Job 12:7

.

Now what does all this have to do with seeing these signs written in the Sun, Moon, and stars? Very simple! When that man, woman, or child truly receives the Holy Spirit, is when all nature begins to become our spiritual teachers, even as it is written… “For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ” 1st Corinthians 4:15

.

And along with this above verse, Psalm 19:1, 2 tells us…

“The heavens declare the glory of God;

and the firmament showeth His handiwork.

Day unto day uttereth speech,

and night unto night showeth knowledge.”

.

Yes, the heavens do indeed declare the glory of God! And day unto day, the Sun enlightens the earth with His glory! And night unto night reveals the signs in the Moon and in the constellations!

.

.

.

.

.

https://theheavensdeclare.net/orion-constellation/“EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN AGAIN, HE CANNOT SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD!”

John 3:3

.

And yet, without the indwelling Spirit of Christ, it is virtually impossible to see all these things!

.

Oh yes, a person may see Orion as a sword-wielding soldier.

.

https://theheavensdeclare.net/7-sons-imitates-orion-the-cross/

And that same person may also see The Seven Stars (aka The Big Dipper), as it pours out its contents (left) and also, even appearing as a three-dimensional Cross on a hill (right).

.

But to truly see this total message written in the heavens most likely requires us to become Born Again.

“EXAMINE YOURSELVES, WHETHER YE BE IN THE FAITH”

2nd Corinthians 13:5

.http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:USMC-06831.jpg

Now the very Good News is, that this is still the day of Salvation. And each and every one of us should be crying out daily for God’s mercy and grace.

.

And don’t let the apostate church-leaders brow-beat you, that it is some sort of denial of faith to cry out for God’s mercy! All such advice is unbiblical and merely Satanic rubbish!

“BE AFFLICTED, AND MOURN, AND WEEP…” 

.

If you or I perceive that we are still held in spiritual bondage to this world, we need to keep following the prescription for Salvation found in the New Testament Book of James until we achieve victory…

http://www.wikigallery.org/wiki/painting_198722/William-Brassey-Hole/The-sorrow-of-king-David

.

Listen…“Ye adulterers and adulteresses,

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 4:4, 8-10

.

To the world, this above passage sounds like the kiss of death! But to those who long to win Jesus, this is a joyful duty, which should not be stopped until we achieve victory!

BEGIN WITH ORION AND THE 7 STARS

.

We may only begin to see Orion and the Big Dipper as they appear on this website.

.

But by continuing along the highway to Heaven, we may discover more of these heavenly signs, as we fix our gaze upward.

“WE GLORY…KNOWING THAT TRIBULATION WORKETH PATIENCE”

James 5:3

.

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Heinrich_Seufferheld_Betendes_Maedchen_opus_16,1_1893.pngYes, God wants us to learn patience. So don’t be surprised if these gifts don’t just come all at once.

.

God wants us to learn to trust Him even when we don’t have what we desire!

.

That’s what faith is all about…“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for…” Hebrews 11:1

.

Yes, this is what faith is all about: believing God’s promises even during the hard and difficult times when faith is all we have to hold on to!

A HEAVENLY HOBBY

.

.

.

.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:1_vermont_night_stargazing_panorama_2009.jpg

“Lift up your eyes on high,

and behold Who hath created these things;

that brings out their host by number:

He calls them all by names by the greatness of His might,

for that He is strong in power;

not one faileth.”

Isaiah 40:26

.

vermont night stargazing panorama – 2009 – wikipedia – share-alike lic.

.

.

.

The above verse is a plea from God to look up at the Heavens and behold Who has created these things.

.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:New_york_times_square-terabass.jpg

In this busy work-a-day world, there are many very interesting things which can occupy one’s time and energy: hobbies, and careers, and entertainments and worries, and habits, to name just a few.

.

But as the child of God devotes his or her life to God, there should be a jealous guarding of one’s own heart… “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” Proverbs 4:23.

.

The Christian wants nothing to get in the way of running that Christian Race.

“AND WHEN YE SEE THESE THINGS…

.

LOOK UP, LIFT UP YOUR HEAD”

.

But having said this, there is one hobby which every ‘Noble Berean’ may take up, which only compliments the pursuit of the heavenly Prize.

.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Astronomy_Amateur_3_V2.jpg

Yes, Signs Of Heaven becomes a wonderfully rewarding hobby which, unlike many less meaningful hobbies, pays off with rich, heavenly rewards. Everlasting rewards!

.

And unlike these people in this photo with equipment, all you need is fairly good vision, and a dark, starry night.

.

And once a person really gets to know these heavenly messengers, it will become very apparent that the message connected with these signs is truly a message to be heeded.

“And there shall be signs in the sun,

and in the stars;

and upon the earth distress of nations,

with perplexity;

the sea and the waves roaring…”

Luke 21:25

.

FIRST FIND ORION & 7 STARS

http://theheavensdeclare.net/orion-constellation/.

The very first step in finding these many constellations, should be to find the two main constellations: Orion, and the 7 Stars (aka, The Big Dipper).

.

These two constellations represent Christ (Orion), and His Church (7 Stars).

.

And just as these are the easiest constellations to find, so too, the first place to begin studying the Bible is the Four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John).

.

These four books present Christ and His Church, when He walked the earth, just as Orion and the 7 Stars represent Christ and His Church, as seen up in the heavens.

.

Then, once you are comfortable finding these two constellations, you can begin to locate the next closest constellations, and so on.

ANOTHER HEAVENLY HOBBY: PRAYER-WALKS

.

Now if you’re fortunate enough to be able to go on nightly walks, and you live in an area where you can safely view the stars, here is another Heavenly Hobby which Signs Of Heaven endorses…

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Starry_Night_at_La_Silla.jpg.

Why not combine star-watching with prayer, as you walk? What a great way to draw closer to God!

.

It cannot be over-stressed, just how wonderful it is to walk under the dark canopy of Heaven, while lifting up one’s heart to our Heavenly Father! There is a closeness to God that cannot be described with words!

.

(And even if you cannot safely do this, you can always do such prayer-walks in the daytime, in a safe place, such as a mall, which is every bit as effective, prayer-wise.

.

And for those who are in confinement, one can view these starry signs on the Internet, or simply listen to Scripture on audio.

.

Either way, all such may enjoy God’s richest blessings at this very time in which God is pouring out all Heaven’s treasures upon anyone willing to forsake all, and follow Jesus!)

THRICE-DAILY PRAYERS

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Marines_at_Prayer_by_Alex_Raymond.jpg.

Now of course, the Bible commands us to, “pray without ceasing“. The Christian is to constantly talk with our Heavenly Father throughout the day.

.

But the Bible also holds up the godly life of Daniel, who, when captive in Babylon, still set aside three times daily, in which he knelt for special prayer.

.

And furthermore the Bible also says… “Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and He shall hear my voice.” Psalm 55:17.

.

Even those who are bed-fast or in a prison cell can begin to imitate Daniel in this way. And if one is fortunate to be able to walk, then this thrice-daily prayer regimen can be combined with three walks daily and even nightly.
