IT’S A CUTTLEFISH WORLD!

.

Well, God has created a number of predators to give us further insight into the inner workings of the kingdom of Satan: the spider and the Octopus are two of those predators.

.

But there is another little predator which is perhaps the most striking representation of Satan: the Cuttlefish! And this predator is a fitting representative of this world, Satan’s kingdom!

.

Yes, this world is truly a “Cuttlefish World”! Satan so miraculously erases himself from visibility by the public, that this world seems to be operating by the governance of Mankind! And yet, Satan, “the god of this world”, is always lurking behind the scenes, orchestrating the events, both great and small! (See 2nd Corinthians 4:4)

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

.

Certainly Satan and his unseen minions love to make themselves invisible!

.

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

.

And with strobe-like abilities, Satan mesmerizes the world’s people with the glittering allurements of sin!

THE TWO BEASTS OF REVELATION 13

. 

During the Dark Ages, Satan’s chosen method of of persecution against God’s people was physical persecution: imprisonment, scarcity of the Bible, torture, and murder.

.

The Church had to literally flee to the mountain strong-holds, away from the church-state tyrannical powers.

.

But after this 1st beast-power received its deadly wound by a sword (the Bible), Satan made a complete change in his attack against God’s people.

.

Yes, a brand-new beast power arose, this time out of the earth. This was the False Prophet spoken of in Revelation 13.

.

No longer did Satan carry on his bloody attack against the Christian community. But instead, he caused the western nations to become prosperous and filled with earthly materialism.

.

Buying and selling the things which the earth produced was the secret behind the power of this second beast of Revelation 13.

.

And combined with the sins of the flesh, this hedonistic materialism was why this second beast was said to have come, “up out of the earth.” Revelation 13:11

THE WORLD IS NOT OUR FRIEND

.

Now this above little two paragraph history lesson has been given to lay the foundation for a solemn warning to God’s people regarding this world we are now living in.

.

The point to be made in today’s devotional is that we are living in an Antichrist world. Satan is, “the god of this world” (see 2nd Corinthians 4:4). And as such, it is his purpose to destroy God’s people by any possible means!

.

Listen to John…“If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.” John 15:19

.

As this above verse reveals, even though the world so often pretends to be our friend, nothing could be further from the truth!

.

The world hates us!

“THE KISSES OF AND ENEMY ARE DECEITFUL”

.

Listen to the Wise Man…“Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.” Proverbs 27:6

.

Here above is a very instructive and eye-opening proverb! And it really directly applies to the age we are now in!

.

Oh yes, many Christians are being brutally persecuted in the Middle East. And their plight is tremendous!

.

But in the western nations which once embraced the Christian Reformation, Satan has come as an “angel of light”.

.

Peace and safety was his chosen modus-operandi in his war against Christianity.

.

 

.

.

.

.

“BY PEACE (HE) SHALL DESTROY MANY”

Daniel 8:25

.

Yes, Satan has completely disarmed the Christian community by peace and prosperity and has deceived Christians into seeking after the same hedonistic opulence which long ago led the citizens of Sodom into their ultimate destruction.

.

THE IMAGE THAT SPEAKS

.

And now that we are living in this high-tech world, the persecution has only grown decisively worse!

.

Nowadays Satan can come directly into the homes of Christians, via television, radio, Internet, etc., and indoctrinate Christians and their children on a 24/7/365 basis!

.

And these devices, combined with the world-system indoctrination that children receive in public schools, this society has become one giant indoctrination center!

.

Everything around us has been carefully designed to normalize this kingdom of selfishness, the world!

.

Even the very advertising billboards we drive by, to the pictorial advertising signage found in the department stores, the citizens of this society are merely being further indoctrinated into Satan’s Antichrist world-system, on a daily basis, as they stroll through the isles!

.

.

.

.

.

MANKIND’S WAR AGAINST HEAVEN

.

The Bible reveals…“The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit. The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood:” Proverbs 12:5, 6

.

Here above is revealed that the world is our enemy, no matter how friendly they might seem!

.

Now combine this above passage from Proverbs 12:5, 6 with the previously quoted verse from Proverbs 27:6…“The kisses of an enemy are deceitful…”

.

So here we have a description of a world which deceives us into thinking they are our friends!

HEDONISM AND SELFISH AMBITIONS

.

But the world is not our friend! Rather, Satan has re-created his kingdom to become a giant indoctrination center!

.

And this entire society is especially designed to put Christians at ease to the point that we begin to join in with the world…“Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.” Corinthians 10:7

.

This passage, originally from Exodus 32:6, but repeated in 1st Corinthians 10:7, is actually a prophecy concerning this very day in which Christians are partaking of “the eating and drinking and cares and pleasures of the world!”

.

We’ve become so busy in the world, that spiritual things have greatly lost their importance!

BIBLE WARNS AGAINST SELFISH PURSUITS

.

Listen to Luke 21:34, 35…“And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.”

.

In this not-so-funny Judgment Day Cartoon, is pictured a Christian who has been lulled back into the cares and pleasures of this life. He is no longer watching. And Judgment Day is now at his door!

.

.

.

.

.

“FLEE TO THE MOUNTAINS!”

Matthew 24:15

.

Well, just what is the Good News to all this?

.

How are Christians supposed to deal with all this wickedness that now encompasses God’s people and their children?

.

The Bible tells us…“When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:” Matthew 24:15, 16

.

Here is veiled, allegorical language which warns God’s people to flee to the spiritual mountains of God!

.

.

.

.

.

GOD IS OUR REFUGE AND HIDING PLACE

.

Listen…“As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.” Psalm 125:2

.

God is our mountain stronghold in these last days.

.

He is our “hiding place” of refuge! (Psalm 32:7)

.

We are commanded to flee to Him with all our heart, soul, strength and mind!

.

Nothing less than a 100% devotion and service to Jesus will deliver us from the overwhelming flood of evil now being spewed out of the mouth of the Revelation 12 Dragon!

.

.

.

.

.

.

UNSAVED MANKIND: “For he flattereth himself in his own eyes,

until his iniquity be found to be hateful.”

Psalm 36:1, 2

.

Yes, it’s a Cuttlefish world. Satan and his countless armies have taken on a deceptive appearance over the last several centuries.

.

 

And Christians were lulled to sleep by Lucifer’s soft strains of viols (“violins”: see Isaiah 14:11).

.

But now, God is wakening His slumbering Church-Elect, who did not watch for one hour, but fell fast asleep by those deceptive violin strains!

“PREPARE FOR WAR”

Joel 3:9

.

And so, the clarion trumpet call is now being sounded! God’s people are called to prepare for war! And those who still have their garments and still possess their Christian armor are being called to quickly put them on!

.

And let’s not be lulled back to sleep by the peace and safety which still seems to be lingering!

.

No, the fact is, we are merely standing in the eye of the storm!

.

Nevertheless, the gale-force winds are whirling all around us!

.

.

.

.

.

“Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast,

call a solemn assembly: Gather the people, sanctify the congregation,

assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts:

let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.

Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch

and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD,

and give not thine heritage to reproach,

that the heathen should rule over them:

wherefore should they say among the people,

Where is their God?”

Joel 2:15-17

THE NARROW GATE STARS

.

.

This most amazing phenomenon is seen throughout the winter. Although it can be observed most of the winter, it is seen best when it is the western part of the sky, at winter’s end (The end of winter being the final scene of this heavenly Gospel story). Orion , the Dragon, and the Glorious White Horse are beginning to descend into the western horizon (sketch to right is Winter Constellations descending into western horizon. This can actually be seen as early as December, in the pre-dawn hours).

.

And at this point it is apparent that the Fleeing Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation is veering toward the two bright stars, known as Castor and Pollux (sketch to below left). But the Wide Gate Stars are composed of the two brightest stars of the Auriga Constellation, known as the star, Capella, and the star, Menkalinan. The two stars, Castor and Pollux, make up the concept of the Orion’s Narrow Gate Stars.

.

This can even be observed into June in the western sky (for a short time just after dark). While a dark night is best for seeing the Woman Constellation, the 4 stars which comprise the Narrow Gate/Wide Gate Stars can be seen even under mediocre conditions. It begins with the Fleeing Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation (AKA Ursa Major) going towards these two doors.

.

The sketch to left shows, the two doors are each composed of two bright stars. The two bright stars that comprise the Narrow Gate are the two brightest stars of the Orion the Reaper’s sickle. The two stars that comprise the ‘Wide Gate’ Stars are the two brightest stars of the wave of water that comes out of the Dragon Constellation’s mouth (for explanation of “Wave of Water”, just click here). The stars that make up the ‘Narrow Gate’ are about half the width of the Wide Gate (see sketch to right).

.

.

(For more information on Orion’s sickle, just click here,“Orion The Reaper”.)

.

Editor’s note: These sketches on this page are merely sketches. The stars are not in their exact place. However, they are close enough to find them in the night sky. But as with most stars, it takes persistence to finally locate them.

Love Not The World,

.

“Ananias & Sapphira Christianity”

.

.

.

.

.

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world.

If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh,

and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life,

is not of the Father, but is of the world.

And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof:

but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.”

1st John 2:15-17

.

.

.

.

ANANIAS & SAPPHIRA

.

One very startling Bible story is found in the 4th and 5th Chapter of Acts, concerning one Ananias and his wife, Sapphira.

.

In the last part of Acts, Chapter 4, the Believers began selling their houses and lands, and laying these magnanimous offerings at the Apostles’ feet!

.

Well, Ananias and his wife also sold their land, but withheld part of the proceeds for themselves.

.

Death of Ananias & Sapphira – www.wikigallery.com – Public Domain

.

.

.

.

.

THEY FELL DOWN DEAD!

.

But when Ananias laid the money at the Apostles’ feet, Peter called out Ananias for lying to God about withholding some of the proceeds.

.

And upon hearing Peter’s rebuke, Ananias fell down dead.

.

Three hours later, Sapphira came in, and was questioned by Peter, she also lying about the price of the land. Well, upon hearing Peter’s rebuke, she too fell down dead!

.

And needless to say, this story struck great fear into the hearts of the Church and upon all that heard about this incident.

.

Death of Ananias & Sapphira – www.wikigallery.com – Public Domain

.

.

.

.

.

MANY ARE LIKE ANANIAS & SAPPHIRA

.

Now, there is a great lesson which can be gleaned from this true historical account.

.

You see, there are many so-called “converts” to Christianity, who are much like Ananias & Sapphira. In other words, there are many who join the Church, making a profession of having sold all, to follow Jesus.

.

But before long, they grow discontent living only for Jesus, and gradually begin to return to seeking after the pleasures and pursuits of this selfish world, while still making-believe that they have forsaken all, to follow Jesus.

.

.

.

.

.

HOLDING BACK A GOODLY PORTION

.

And there are many in today’s churches who fall into this category of being “double-minded” Christians. And these unfortunate ones withhold a goodly portion of their lives, to pursue some of the countless pleasures and ambitious pursuits of this, the Devil’s world!

.

But listen to Jesus…“So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be My disciple.” Luke 14:33

.

Jesus, here, is “not beating around the bush”, as the old saying goes, as He plainly lays out just what is required to truly become one of His disciples!

.

ABOVE PICTURE: Unfunny Judgment Day Cartoon: “Company’s Coming”

.

.

.

.

.

“THEY FORSOOK ALL, AND FOLLOWED HIM”

.

And when Jesus called His disciples, the fishermen, Peter, James, and John, it is written of them…“And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed Him.” Luke 5:11

.

Here is the correct spirit of true discipleship! A willingness to lay all down on altar for God!

.

.

.

THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS?

.

Unfortunately, we live in the time of the great apostasy of the church-world. And Satan has successfully convinced Christians that we can have both Jesus, and the world too! But this of course, is a lie straight from the depths of Hell.

.

But we look around at this decadent, cornucopian super-society, filled to the brim with every conceivable pleasure and pursuit, and imagine that we too can go after these various forms of Mammon just like the secularists go after them!

.

.

.

.

.

SPIRITUAL DEATH

.

But what we don’t realize is, that we are doing exactly like Ananias & Sapphira!

.

And no, God won’t strike us dead, at least, not physically dead.

.

But there are many in the Church who have quenched the Spirit, because of their world-loving ways! And so, as a result of becoming void of the Spirit, they have in essence, been struck dead, spiritually!

.

.

.

.

.

.

TRADING AWAY THIS PRESENT WORLD

.

Now, God may not want us to sell our house as the early Church members did.

.

That’s not the point that God is trying to make in the account of Ananias & Sapphira. Many Christians need a home to live in.

.

No, but rather, God is wanting us to sell off our land, that is, this present world, trading it, in exchange for the Promised Land!

.

Yes, God wants us to choose which world we are going to live for! Are we going to continue to enjoy the pleasures and pursuits of this cornucopian world, or are we going to lay down our lives on the altar of service and devotion to God, as did all noble men of God: men like Paul, Barnabas, Peter, James, and John?

.

GOOD NEWS! STILL A LITTLE TIME!

.

Well, there is some very Good News, because it is still the day of Salvation. Yes, God has graciously allowed us time to repent!

.

And though we have foolishly allowed “the god of this world” to fill up our lives with so many time-consuming and energy-sapping and Spirit-quenching pursuits, there is still time to forsake them…

.

.

.

.

.

APOCALYPSE NOW!

.

Listen to Isaiah, as he speaks of this very hour we are now in…“In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats; To go into the clefts of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of His majesty, when He ariseth to shake terribly the earth.” Isaiah 2:20, 21

.

And as this above passage foretells, God’s people, His true worshipers will hear this message of repentance, and respond by casting behind us, all our foolish earthly pleasures and worldly treasures, and flee to the Mount Sion of God’s everlasting place of Rest!

.

And there in that Holy Mount, we will surely find safe-haven from the approaching storm: that long-anticipated storm which will soon sweep over the entire world!

“And there appeared a great wonder (“sign”) in Heaven;

and the moon under her feet,

.

.

and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:”

.

If you were to go out on a dark and starry night in the summer months, and lift up your head, you might just see this constellation group. Looking at this sketch, do you see this woman as she tries to take hold of that crown?

.

Well, this is a heavenly fulfillment of the above Bible verse (“And there appeared a great wonder (or “sign”) in Heaven; a woman…and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:” Revelation 12:1).

.

And this woman is known as the Revelation 12 Woman, and that crown is known as the Revelation 12 Crown. You can see this constellation group in the summer months by looking in the western skies.

As The Flower of the Field

.

Part 11:

“Dead People Singing!”

To read Part 1, click here… “March 19th (As the Flower of the Field!)”

.

.

.

.

.

.

A few decades ago, there was an extremely popular song proclaiming how wonderful life would be without Heaven; and with no Heaven, nor Hell, all the world could be unified, with everyone holding hands and rejoicing together.

.

And the singer went on to sing, “What a wonderful world that would be!”

.

.

.

NOW DECEASED

.

Unfortunately, the composer/singer of that song died an untimely death, not too long after recording that song.

.

And so, the problem is, that song still gets played quite often, even becoming the unofficial anthem for the atheists, in spite of the composer’s untimely demise.

.

And why is that a problem? After all, even atheists need heroes too!

MORBID, BLEAK, AND DREADFUL!

.

The problem with choosing this song to be the Atheist’s Anthem is, for a dead person to be singing about how wonderful life would be without the hope of Heaven is a rather morbid, and bleak, and even a dreadful idea, wouldn’t you agree?

.

But that’s the problem with such a hopeless religion as atheism! Most of atheism’s heroes are either dead, or soon will be!

.

And so, any philosophy which promises only an eternity in the grave, is perhaps, the most miserable of all religions or philosophies! Yes, even the false religions of this world, at least offer some hope to their followers (howbeit a false hope)!

.

But atheism offers absolutely no hope! It’s truly the world’s most miserable religion!

“THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH”

Psalm 23:4

.

But speaking of dead people singing, there are all sorts of recordings made by now-deceased songsters!

.

And wouldn’t you agree that it’s kind-of eerie to walk through a mall, and hear some deceased person’s voice echoing through the corridors about how wonderful things are?

.

After all, they’re now dead!

.

.

WORDS AND LIVES DON’T MATCH UP!

.

And not only dead people singing, but how about living persons singing songs?

.

After all, there are many idealistic songs being sung by famous singing-idols today, who are actually living miserable lives!

.

For instance, there are many songs sung about finding romance which will last forever…

.

“Oh, I will love you forever and ever!”, they sing!

.

And yet, many of the singers of these idealistic songs have, in fact, suffered horrible married lives, ending in terribly heartbreaking divorces!

.

As a matter of fact, there seems to be a special curse on those who sing such idealist songs!

.

They seem to be doomed to a life of unhappiness!

LIES FROM THE FATHER OF LIES

John 8:44

.

Yes, it’s such a sad and tragic world we live in!

.

And so, all these songs that proclaim what a wonderful world we live in, are merely lies, lies, lies!

.

And of course, the Bible tells us where all lies come from: they were in reality, written by the “Father of Lies”, Lucifer, “the god of this world”! (see John 8:44 & 2nd Corinthians 4:4)

That rebel from Heaven, Lucifer, has brought his great musical creativity with him to this earth, and is now churning out one lie after another in the form of pop songs, Hollywood movies, and television shows! (Isaiah 14:11)

.

Yes, Satan is the true False Prophet spoken of in Revelation 13.

.

Therefore, it should be no surprise that this False Prophet works through the singers of this world, propagating lies and deceptions and false hopes, via the popular music industry!

SOME TRUE SONGS OF JOY!

.

But in this very sad and tragic world, there happens to be some songs being sung about a wonderful world in which joy, contentment, and love will indeed last forever!

.

Yes, there are a small segment of this world’s population who are constantly singing songs about a wonderful world to come, in which, “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

THE PROMISED LAND A PLACE OF EVERLASTING JOY!

.

And the invitation goes out to anyone who will turn back to the Lord Jesus, to come and join in the songs about that wonderful world-to-come which He has promised to all that love and serve Him!

.

And once we get there, we will walk through endless wonderful flower-laden pathways, amidst the distant freedom bells ringing, and the joyful sounds of innocent children laughing and singing as they play in that bright and beautiful world which will never pass away!

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

.

.

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”!

Why Doesn’t My Christianity Work?

.

Part 3:

“Television”

This is a continuation of the February 4th devotional… Why Doesn’t My Christianity Work? Part 1

 

.

.

.

.

Are you asking yourself the question, “Why doesn’t my Christianity work? Why can’t I study my Bible more? Why is my prayer-life so anemic?”

.

Do you sit in church each week and smile, pay tithes, and bless, and sing, and pray, all the while knowing that your Christianity just isn’t working?

.

Does your pastor constantly reassure his flock that you are all on the road to Heaven, and you try to hang on to that reassurance, only to be overwhelmed with doubts?

.

Well, you are not alone!

.

Probably most other church-goers, these days, are wondering the very same thing!

.

.

“WHAT FELLOWSHIP HATH RIGHTEOUSNESS WITH UNRIGHTEOUSNESS?”

.

One very important truth which is not being emphasized in today’s Christianity is found in 2nd Corinthians…“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?…Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean [thing]; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be My sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.” 2nd Corinthians 6:14, 17, 18 (To read the entire passage, go here)

.

If there is one ignored passage in Scripture this is it!

.

And the ignoring of this passage with its promise and implied curse is probably more responsible for shipwrecking Christians, than any other passage in the Bible!

.

.

.

.

.

.

WARNINGS FROM GENESIS TO REVELATION!

.

Yes, God has warned Christians many times in Scripture, that it is necessary to keep separate from having fellowship with unbelievers.

.

And God has gone even further by promising… “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord…and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you…”

.

And so, with such a promise as this, how is it that we Christians insist on having fellowship with unbelievers?

.

After all, what could be more wonderful than having God be a father to us?

.

.

.

.

.

.

BUT I DON’T FELLOWSHIP WITH UNBELIEVERS!

.

Now at this point, many might stand up and object by saying…“Well, I don’t have fellowship with unbelievers!”

.

But have we considered that by watching television, are we not having fellowship with unbelievers?

.

And by listening to secular radio, or by reading secular books and magazines are we not having fellowship with unbelievers?

.

Oh yes, with these devices, we can only have a one-sided communication, merely listening to what they say, not able to answer back.

.

Nevertheless we are indeed having communion with them, soaking in what they are telling us!

.

Family watching television, c. 1958 – Wikipedia – Public Domain

.

.

.

.

.

.

“BE NOT DECEIVED!”

.

But listen to Paul’s warning about communications…“Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.” 1st Corinthians 15:33

.

Do not be deceived, O man of God, O woman of God, O child of God!

.

As this passage warns, there are those who will attempt to deceive our hearts concerning these things!

.

Many Church-goers will say…“Oh, I just watch the good programs!”

.

Be not deceived, O Christian! It’s all corrupt!

.

.

.

.

.

“QUENCH NOT THE SPIRIT!”

.

Just listen to this next passage…“Quench not the Spirit!” 1st Thessalonians 5:19

.

The modern-day media are specifically designed to fill our hearts with the common chatter of the world.

.

Yes, even the so-called “harmless” shows are filled with less-than-holy talk: commonness, criticizing others, jesting, silliness & foolish talk, unbelief, vulgarities, naughtiness, aggressiveness, competitiveness, judging-the-hearts-of-others, revenge, flattery, pride, anger, and every other sinful trait fill up the air-waves on an hourly basis!

.

Thus, by soaking in these corrupt qualities, the fire of God’s Spirit is quenched (extinguished) from the hearts of those who allow such sinful communication to enter their heart!

.

.

.

.

.

“CHRISTIAN” TELEVISION

.

And as far as so-called, “Christian” TV, it is needless to go into any length of discussion about today’s apostate condition of the Christian community!

.

Sufficed to say, Christian television is leading the Hell-bound charge in the furthering of that apostasy of the church-world!

.

.

.

.

.

.

WHY IS MY CHRISTIANITY IS NOT WORKING?

.

And so, dear Christian, if you find that your relationship with the Lord is rather anemic, or even non-existent, you might want to consider your daily communication with unbelievers via the various media devices now available: such as television, radio, Internet, and even the various forms of written literature!

.

GOOD NEWS! MERCY-GATE STILL AJAR!

.

The Good News is, that there is still time to repent of these things!

.

How wonderful that God has left the door of mercy ajar, that we might enter in!

.

But let’s not tarry! Let’s enter in that Narrow Gate!

.

And be assured that your secular television, radio, magazines, etc., will not fit through that Narrow Gate!

.

But our Bibles will absolutely fit!

WINTER CONSTELLATIONS

.

.

This most amazing phenomenon is seen throughout the winter. Although it can be observed most of the winter, it is seen best when it is the western part of the sky, at winter’s end (The end of winter being the final scene of this heavenly Gospel story). Orion , the Dragon, and the Glorious White Horse are beginning to descend into the western horizon (sketch to right is Winter Constellations descending into western horizon. This can actually be seen as early as December, in the pre-dawn hours).

.

And at this point it is apparent that the Fleeing Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation is veering toward the two bright stars, known as Castor and Pollux (sketch to left). But the Wide Gate Stars are composed of the two brightest stars of the Auriga Constellation, known as the star, Capella, and the star, Menkalinan. The two stars, Castor and Pollux, make up the concept of the Orion’s Narrow Gate Stars.

.

This can even be observed into June in the western sky (for a short time just after dark). While a dark night is best for seeing the Woman Constellation, the 4 stars which comprise the Narrow Gate/Wide Gate Stars can be seen even under mediocre conditions. It begins with the Fleeing Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation (AKA Ursa Major) going towards these two doors.

.

The sketch to left shows, the two doors are each composed of two bright stars. The two bright stars that comprise the Narrow Gate are the two brightest stars of the Orion the Reaper’s sickle. The two stars that comprise the ‘Wide Gate’ Stars are the two brightest stars of the wave of water that comes out of the Dragon Constellation’s mouth (for explanation of “Wave of Water”, just click here). The stars that make up the ‘Narrow Gate’ are about half the width of the Wide Gate (see sketch below left).

.

.

(For more information on Orion’s sickle, just click here, “Orion The Reaper”. )

.

Editor’s note: These sketches on this page are merely sketches. The stars are not in their exact place. However, they are close enough to find them in the night sky. But as with most stars, it takes persistence to finally locate them.

Add Thou Not!

.

Part 3:

“You Bet Your Soul!”

To read Part 1, go here…April 2nd (Add Thou Not!)

.

.

.

.

.

“Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you,

neither shall ye diminish ought from it,

that ye may keep the commandments

of the LORD your God which I command you.”

Deuteronomy 4:2

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Do you remember way back in the early days of television, that hit television show, “You Bet Your Life”?

.

Hosted by that mega-personality from the past, Groucho Marx, television watchers throughout the nation were glued to the television each and every night while that 30 minute show aired.

.

.

.

.

EERIE CONNECTIONS

.

Now this website is in no way encouraging or advocating any Christian to begin watching television.

.

But this devotional often takes the things of this present world, and makes some spiritual analogy.

.

And it’s amazing how many mundane things of the world actually seem to have an eerie spiritual connection to the Gospel!

.

You Bet Your Life – title card – 1955-60 – Wikipedia – Fair-use rationale (click here for licensing and rationale details)

.

.

.

.

“OR WHAT SHALL A MAN GIVE IN EXCHANGE FOR HIS SOUL?”

Matthew 16:26

.

And this show, “You Bet Your Life” is no exception!

.

This is because, there are multitudes in the Christian community who are doing just that!

.

Actually, you could say that many Christians are gambling with their very own soul!

.

You Bet Your Life – title card – 1955-60 – Wikipedia – Fair-use rationale (click here for licensing and rationale details)

.

.

.

.

.

“IF ANY MAN SHALL ADD…”

.

So how in the world could it be surmised that Christians are gambling with their own soul?

.

Simple! The Bible specifically warns Christians…“For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” Revelation 22:18, 19

.

So here is a passage found in the very last chapter of the Holy Bible which warns Christians against adding or taking away from the, “words of the Book of this prophecy”.

.

You Bet Your Life – title card – 1955-60 – Wikipedia – Fair-use rationale (click here for licensing and rationale details)

.

.

.

.

“THE BOOK OF LIFE”

.

And what makes this warning so fearful is the dreadful consequences which are sure to follow our disobedience!

.

To receive the plagues written in the Bible, or to have one’s name removed from the Book of Life is just about as terrifying as anything imaginable!

.

And yet, the Christian community seemingly has little or no fear of adding non-biblical names which God has never named!

.

You Bet Your Life – title card – 1955-60 – Wikipedia – Fair-use rationale (click here for licensing and rationale details)

.

.

.

.

TWO RETURNS?

.

For instance, the name, “Rapture” is never once found in the Bible!

.

It is a name which God has never named.

.

It is a replacement for the proper name, “The Coming of the Lord”. And it has been mostly popularized by those who peddle the notion that there will be two separate returns of Christ in these last days.

.

In other words, they insist there will be a secret Rapture, which is followed some years later by the visible Return of Christ on the last Day…

.

You Bet Your Life – title card – 1955-60 – Wikipedia – Fair-use rationale (click here for licensing and rationale details)

.

.

.

.

.

“SHALL HE APPEAR A 2ND TIME”

.

Listen…“So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for Him shall He appear the second time without sin unto salvation.” Hebrews 9:28

.

This verse speaks of Christ returning for His waiting people a “second time”. But those who love the non-biblical name, “The Rapture” are betting their soul on two separate returns instead of one!

.

Do you see how fearful it is to presume to add a name which God has never named? It is presumption in the first degree!

.

And many are those who are willing to foolishly gamble away their soul on the notion that God will overlook this man-concocted name, when He has given us ample biblical names for the return of Christ!

.

You Bet Your Life – title card – 1955-60 – Wikipedia – Fair-use rationale (click here for licensing and rationale details)

.

.

.

.

MANY NON-BIBLICAL NAMES

.

Now this unbiblical name, “The Rapture” is not the only man-concocted name which has come from the minds of men.

.

No, there are other non-biblical names, such as “The Trinity”, which has replaced the God-given name, “The Godhead”. And other names, such as “Replacement Theology”, “Easter”, “Christmas”, “Indulgences”, “Purgatory”, have crept in unawares into the Christian community over the past centuries.

.

And these, combined with many other presumptuous unbiblical practices now seen in Christianity, make for a very apostate church-world!

.

You Bet Your Life – title card – 1955-60 – Wikipedia – Fair-use rationale (click here for licensing and rationale details)

.

.

.

.

.

BEING WISER THAN GOD

.

Just think it through. If God wanted to name a particular Bible truth, He could have.

.

But mere men dare to presume to be wiser than God by concocting names which God did not name.

.

If God had wanted His Return to this earth to be named, “The Rapture”, He easily could have given that name.

.

But He didn’t!

.

You Bet Your Life – title card – 1955-60 – Wikipedia – Fair-use rationale (click here for licensing and rationale details)

.

.

.

.

YOU BET YOUR SOUL?

.

Now there are many who will defiantly answer back, “So what’s the big deal about using the name, Trinity, or the name, Replacement Theology, or The Rapture?”

.

Well, go ahead and use them if you like! But you must realize that you are betting your soul that God doesn’t care!

.

But if you are wrong, are you willing to lose your soul over these theologian-derived names?

.

Listen again…“If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life” Revelation 22:18, 19

.

The fact is, it is high time that God’s people discard all such man-made rubbish, and jealously stick with the Bible only!

.

This is the only safe course for God’s people to take in this fearful hour of Judgment.

.

You Bet Your Life – title card – 1955-60 – Wikipedia – Fair-use rationale (click here for licensing and rationale details)

.

.

.

.

“EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW”

Isaiah 45:23; Romans 14:11

.

Yes, the hour is fast approaching when each and every human will stand before the Judgment Throne, to find out what is our eternal destiny.

.

And it is guaranteed that we will be trembling in fear on that terrible day!

.

But if only we would begin trembling right now, we might escape being condemned on that day!

.

You Bet Your Life – title card – 1955-60 – Wikipedia – Fair-use rationale (click here for licensing and rationale details)

.

.

.

.

.

“YE NEED NOT THAT ANY MAN TEACH YOU”

.

One last piece of advice.

.

Just because everyone else is doing something doesn’t make it right. And just because the leaders of today’s Christendom are telling you something is OK, or not OK, you must do what the Bible says, irregardless of their advice!

.

Listen…“O My people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.” Isaiah 3:12

.

If ever there was a time in which the leaders of Christianity are misleading God’s people, it is now, in this time of Church-wide apostasy!

.

You Bet Your Life – title card – 1955-60 – Wikipedia – Fair-use rationale (click here for licensing and rationale details)

.

.

.

.

.

THE GOOD NEWS!

.

The Good News to all this is that it is still possible to sit down and study what the Bible says.

.

We don’t have to depend on what others tell us…“These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. But the Anointing which ye have received of Him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same Anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in Him.” 1st John 2:26, 27

.

Here we see that the Holy Spirit is very capable of directly teaching us anything we need to know.

.

And considering how many false teachers are out there today via the airways, it would be well for us to close our chamber doors and study our own Bibles.

FLEEING WOMAN OF REVELATION 12…

.

.

“And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.” Revelation 12:14, 15. So this Revelation 12 Woman Constellation gives a heavenly portrait of a woman fleeing from the Dragon, who is spewing water in her pathway.

.

The sketch to the right is “Valley of Decision” Constellation, the Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation, and the Dragon Constellation. This is a concept sketch. These three constellations are not in this position in the night sky. So please don’t try to find them together like this. All of the other sketches have the constellation in the correct position, unless otherwise noted. For locations of each of these Constellations, please go to the article for that particular constellation.

.

.

.

.

.

FROM WHERE & TO WHERE DOES SHE FLEE?

.

(WOMAN ROTATES THROUGH THE SEASONS)

.

.

This page is about the Big Dipper, also called the Great Bear constellation (Ursa Major ). However, the ancient pagan cultures did not see this constellation as God intended it to be seen. It is actually a headless woman in childbirth. This is seen in springtime. It is seen in the northern skies.

.

But as the seasons progress, this travailing woman flips upside down, now appearing as a woman with upraised arms like eagle wings who is running (eventually flying, as shown in sketch on right) into the wilderness (westward). The single star representing her birth-child (Christ) now becomes her head (“Christ is the head of the church.” Ephesians 5:23

.

.

The 7 Stars (Big Dipper) is easy to see with its very bright 7 stars. But the Revelation 12 Woman (Ursa Major) must be seen on a dark starry night, away from city lights.

.

These are star charts from Wikipedia, with sketches of the Woman added.

Thou Art Weighed in the Balances!

Part 3:

“Judge Nothing!”

To read Part 1, click here…October 29th (Thou Art Weighed in the Balances…)

.

.

.

.

“Therefore judge nothing before the time,

until the Lord come,

who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness,

and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts:

and then shall every man have praise of God.”

1st Corinthians 4:5

In the Book of Daniel, is that infamous story of King Belshazzar, King Nebuchadnezzar’s son (some say grandson).

.

Yes, on that fateful night, as Belshazzar hosted a grand feast, Belshazzar saw, “the hand-writing on the wall”.

.

It was Belshazzar’s Judgment Day! God was letting the king know that his time of probation on earth had come to an end!

.

And his sins had been weighed on the scales of justice, against the knowledge God had given him!

“WEIGHED IN THE BALANCES…AND FOUND WANTING (LACKING)”

.

And lo and behold, right in the middle of the party, a hand wrote on the wall, “Thou art weighed in the balances and found wanting (lacking).”

.

These frightful words were merely the beginning of Belshazzar’s night of terror, as the enemies of Babylon were just about to break right through those so-called, “impregnable” Babylonish walls!

.

.

.

.

.

.

WE TOO WILL BE WEIGHED IN THE BALANCES!

.

And this story stands as a frightful warning to all Christians, that our Judgment Day is not slumbering!

.

.

And we must strive to improve upon our present daily circumstances, to expel our earthly ways, and become transformed into the likeness of Jesus!

.

Listen… “And every man that hath this hope in Him (to meet the Lord in peace), purifies himself, even as He (Jesus) is pure.” 1st John 3:3

.

And so, this devotional will attempt to spotlight a very common sin, which is so grievous to the Lord, that when weighed in the balances will only condemn us on our night of reckoning!

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN

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

.

.

.

GOSPEL INSCRIBED ON THE MOON

.

The Bible states… “It (God’s Covenant) shall be established for ever as the Moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven (sky). Selah.” Psalm 89:37

.

God’s Covenant (The Gospel) has been inscribed in the sky. In the night sky, predominantly. It has been established “as the Moon, and as a faithful witness…”.

.

That there would be “signs in the Sun… moon, and…stars” (Luke 21:25) just before the end, was a promise made by God.

.

But we didn’t know exactly what those signs would be (although many thought they knew).

.

Nor did we realize that these signs would be pointing us to present Bible truths!

“THE SCORNER (THE PHARISEE)”

.

“For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, AN EVIL EYE, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.” Mark 7:18-23

.

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 shock and awe; 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 Heart,

.

Part 5:

“Does Jesus Come Into My Heart? Or Not?”

To read Part 1, click here… April 20th (The Heart: Treasure Chest of the Mind!)

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

“I (Jesus) in them (Believers),

and Thou (The Father) in Me,

that they may be made perfect in one;

and that the world may know that Thou hast sent Me…”

John 17:23 

.

.

.

.

.

A radio question/answer program featured two biblical authorities who were authors of a book on Bible doctrine.

.

During the program, a caller made the following statement…“People who ask Jesus to “come into my heart” are badly misled by this false notion! Actually, as Ezekiel, Chapter 26 reveals, the Lord gives us a new heart!”

.

And of course, these two Bible authorities fully agreed with the caller.

.

.

.

.

.

.

THE NEW HEART EXPERIENCE

.

So what is it? Obviously, Ezekiel 36:26 plainly declares…

“A new heart also will I give you,

and a new Spirit will I put within you:

and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh,

and I will give you an heart of flesh.”

.

And so, the caller and the Bible authorities were at least half correct. God does say that He will take away our “stony heart”, and give us, “a heart of flesh”.

.

Now of course, from a careful reading of this verse, it must be concluded that God here is speaking metaphorically, since we do not actually have a literal “stony heart”, nor does He give us an actual “heart of flesh.”

.

.

.

.

.

.

“COME INTO MY HEART, LORD JESUS?”

.

Now, in other devotionals, it was declared that the heart is another name for the mind, since the Bible often speaks of the thoughts of the heart.

.

But back to this radio talk-show notion that it is improper to say, “Jesus, come into my heart!”, because God actually says, “a new heart also will I give you”.

.

Announcer with microphone – svg – Wikimedia – Public-Domain

.

.

.

.

.

.

“FOR YE ARE THE TEMPLE OF THE LIVING GOD”

.

Is it true? Are these talk show authorities correct?

Is it truly improper to ask the Lord to come into our heart?

.

Well, the first verse that comes to mind is found in 2nd Corinthians 6:16…

“for ye are the temple of the living God;

as God hath said, I will dwell in them,

and walk in them; and I will be their God,

and they shall be My people.”

.

Here it is revealed that God does indeed dwell in the heart of Believers.

.

.

“THE HIDDEN MAN OF THE HEART”

.

Listen to this next passage…“Likewise, ye wives…Whose adorning…let it be the hidden Man of the heart…”

1st Peter 3:1, 4 (condensed for brevity)

.

Here it is revealed that Jesus does indeed live in a Believer’s heart (via the Holy Spirit).

.

.

.

.

.

“I (Jesus) in them (Believers), and Thou (the Father) in Me (Jesus)”

.

Now listen to just one more verse regarding Jesus in our heart…“I in them, and Thou in Me, that they may be made perfect in one.” John 17:23

.

Now from these three passages, it becomes evident that Jesus does indeed come into a Believer’s heart, through the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit.

.

.

.

.

IS IT WRONG TO ASK JESUS INTO OUR HEART?

.

And so, is it wrong to ask Jesus into our heart?

.

After all, when the Holy Spirit takes up residence in a person’s heart, that person has been given a new heart.

And Jesus now dwells in that person’s heart.

.

And so, asking Jesus into our heart is virtually the same thing as receiving a new heart.

.

It is all accomplished at the same time when the Holy Spirit begins to abide in that person’s heart.

.

.

.

.

.

AS USUAL, CHERRY-PICKING FAVORITE VERSES

.

The big problem is that these Bible authorities are cherry-picking the Bible verses they like, while ignoring the verses they do not like.

.

God does not literally give us a new brain, the moment we become saved. There is no physical literal organ transplanted into us.

.

But by virtue of the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit, we receive a new mind (heart) in which our thoughts and intents are now completely new.

.

And Jesus and His Father are now dwelling within our hearts, by that same Holy Spirit.

.

.

.

.

.

GOOD NEWS: JESUS COMES INTO OUR NEW HEART!

.

The bottom line is, there is nothing in the Bible which advocates a person to ask Jesus into his or her heart.

.

But neither is there anything in Scripture which advocates a person asking God to give him or her a new heart.

.

But both these two events happen simultaneously when the Holy Spirit comes to live and abide in the heart of a new Christian.

THE SWINE: “LUST OF THE FLESH”

.

“For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.” 1st John 2:16

.

This article will introduce this third beast-like face, inscribed in the Moon: a swine.

And it will be shown that the three beast-like faces in the Moon, represent the concept taught in the above verse concerning “the lust of the flesh…the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life”.

.

It has become apparent that the second face in the Moon, besides appearing as a wolf-like beast, also appears as a Swine.

Let’s explore this concept, for a moment.

First of all, when a person sees the second face up in the sky, it’s arguable whether or not it looks like a swine.

.

But it must be conceded that the photos do indeed make it appear as if this character has a “sawed-off” snout like a swine.

And of course, a swine is spoken of quite frequently in Scripture.

It’s A Wrong-Way Corrigan World!

.

.

.

.

.

During the late 1930’s, came a charming rascal named Douglas Corrigan, who loved aviation, preparing his plane to make a trans-Atlantic crossing. And then he flew that plane from Long Beach California to New York, but was refused permission to make that trans-Atlantic flight to Ireland, his ancestral heritage.

.

Well, this gifted mechanic and aviator “accidentally” got mixed up during his flight back home to Long Beach and miraculously ended up in, of all places, Ireland, the very place he desired, but was not permitted to go!

.

Well, in spite of all the world-wide attention he received and his denial of any wrong-doing, he was tagged with the name, “Wrong-way Corrigan”. He wrote a one-chapter book, called, “That’s My Story!”, and also made quite a bit of money over the next few years, from promotions.

.

.

.

.

A “WRONG-WAY CORRIGAN” WORLD?

.

So just how does this little story connect with the Gospel of our Salvation? Well, maybe a better question would be, “Just how does this story of “Wrong-way Corrigan” apply to this world of sin?”

.

Wouldn’t you agree, that it could be said, we live in a, “Wrong-way Corrigan World”? Could this backward planet be appropriately named after that lovable rogue, Wrong-way Corrigan?

THE WAY OF TRUTH

.

After all, God has given this world its marching orders.

.

The Bible was graciously placed in the hands of Mankind. We have our flight plan, so-to-speak… “Keep My commandments, and live; and My law as the apple of thine eye.” Proverbs 7:2

.

Douglas Wrong-Way Corrigan – Wikipedia – US Govt. Public Domain

.

.

.

.

.

WE’RE NOT GETTING AWAY WITH IT!

.

But in spite of this, the world has fully turned away from God’s Law, and has decided to do things their own way!

.

But unlike Douglas Corrigan, the world is not getting away with our stubborn self-willed ways! No, as a matter of fact, we are paying a heavy price for our insistence on doing it, “my way”!

.

Well just look around! We don’t have to look very far to see the results of our “Wrong-way Corrigan flight plan!”

.

.

.

.

.

.

WRONG-WAY SELF-WILLED DEFIANCE HAS ITS REPERCUSSIONS

.

And truth-be-told, neither did Corrigan get away with his defiant self-will! As a matter of fact, he became a recluse after one of his sons died in an airplane crash.

.

.

.

.

.

THE RESULTS OF OUR REBELLION

.

We only need to look at the daily newspapers to see all the horrible results of our self-willed ways!

.

Murders, divorce, rape, sickness, suffering, thefts, wars, anger, violence, greed, sexual perversions, and a host of other horrible tragedies are the result of our stubborn and rebellious ways!

.

Yes, it is truly a, “Wrong-way Corrigan World”.

.

Our backward ways have brought about all the suffering now going on in this very tragic and sad world!

.

.

“TURN YE, TURN YE!”

Ezekiel 33:11

.

But God is still calling the world to return to His right ways!

.

Listen… “For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye…For He doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men. Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD. Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.” Ezekiel 18:32 & Lamentations 3:33, 40, 41

.

Here we have a plea by God. Yes, these two passages, as well as many other similar passages call for each and every human to return to the ways of Heaven!

And those who begin to submit themselves to the will of God might just find that life begins to uncomplicate itself.

.

And of course, the ultimate gift that God wishes to bestow upon us is everlasting life in a very happy world in which we no longer go the wrong way!

THE THIRD MOUNTAIN…CHOICE ‘C’…

.

“Behold, I am against thee, O destroying mountain, saith the LORD, which destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain.” Jeremiah 51:25   

.

These three mountains are called “The Valley of Decision Constellation Group”. The first two mountains on the left in this sketch are known are the Mounts of Blessing and Cursing, as found in Deuteronomy 27:11-26 & Chapter 28.

.

The valley between these two mountains is called the Valley of Decision, as is written… “Multitudes, multitudes in the Valley of Decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the Valley of Decision.” Joel 3:14.

.

.

The Valley of Decision is not a physical place, but a spiritual valley in which each person of the world will make up his or her mind, as to just whom they will serve: God or Satan; God’s kingdom or this world (Satan’s kingdom). 

.

From the Mount of Blessing are heard all the blessings which result from serving God. From the Mount of Cursing are heard all the curses which result from disobedience to God’s will. And those in the valley will listen to both sides, and make up their minds, just who will they serve. A very simple choice, right? Wrong!
