Cuttlefish & The False Prophet, Part 7: “A World of Cuttlefish Compassion!” CONTINUED

To read Part 1, go here…April 1 (Cuttlefish & The False Prophet)

.

“Faithful are the wounds of a friend;

but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.”

Proverbs 27:6

.

God originally created this world to be a beautiful home for Mankind.

.

Yet when we fell from grace, this world began to change in many ways.

.

Nature, to a great extent, began to take on some changes. Many creatures and plants, etc., gradually took on different aspects, eventually becoming dangerous to other animals, and some even dangerous to people.

CUTTLEFISH: THE ULTIMATE IMPOSTORS!

.

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

.

The reason why this creature is so incredible, is that it can just glance at its environment and instantly change its body to imitate that environment!

.

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

CUTTLEFISH: SYMBOL OF SATAN

.

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

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

.

Certainly Satan and his unseen 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!

.

“THE KISSES OF AN ENEMY ARE DECEITFUL!”

Proverbs 27:6

.

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

.

Yes, like that incredible impostor, this world has been changed into a seemingly benign and benificent society to a great degree. Oh yes, there are undenyingly many dangerous and evil things out there!

.

But just look around at all the humanitarianism going on today! Why, it just seems as if this is such a caring and compassionate world!

.

And it’s just about impossible to watch television without some social justice advertisement coming on, promoting some aspect of human kindness!

There’s a whole lot of secular people (and church-goers too) who seem to be blessed with a degree of human comapassion. There is no shortage of parents who seem to be extremely tender-hearted toward their children.

We live in a society in which politeness and even courteousness is a common response between members of the community in the course of daily interaction. A whole lot of comradery and back-slapping, jovial sociability is the order of the day, or so it seems.

So what is all this about?

After all, Paul warns us in Romans 3:10-16…”As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood: Destruction and misery are in their ways:”

Now this is a pretty bleak commentary on the human heart!

And speaking of the heart, listen to this next verse from Jeremiah 17:9… “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?”

This description says about the same thing, howbeit with much more concise wordage.

So where does all today’s compassion come from? Is God’s Spirit working in the hearts of the unsaved?

After all, the Bible has a number of accounts

TODAY’S PRAYER…

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN

.

***CASTOR AND POLLUX & THE NARROW WAY…***

“And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.” Acts 28:11

Most theologians interpret this verse to be speaking of two pagan gods known as Castor and Pollux. Beyond that, they are puzzled as to what significance do these twin gods have. Some believe these gods to be the patrons of safe ocean travel. Certainly God would never want His people to board such a pagan ship!

But there is much significance to Castor and Pollux. No, not to those twin-gods. But there are two stars named Castor and Pollux. They are twin-stars, and not twin-gods. They are the two bright stars of the constellation commonly known as Gemini. But as “Signs Of Heaven” points out, these two stars also happen to be the two brightest stars on Orion’s sickle.

**And these two stars are also known as The Narrow Gate Stars. And if you will explore this concept, you will see that Castor and Pollux possess great significance…**

“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” Matthew 7:13-14. Castor and Pollux represent this Biblical concept of the Narrow Way.

LOCATING THIS GROUP…

.

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