Satan’s Number “8”
.
Part 4:
“Cuttlefish’s 8 Deadly Arms!”

Most insects have six legs. And for those who have curious minds, the question comes down: “Why do most insects have six legs?”
.
Well, scientists might attempt to give some scientific explanation for why.
.
But the question might also be asked: “Why does the spider have eight legs?”
.
And again, scientists may have a complicated answer for that question too!

SIX: THE NUMBER OF MAN
.
But for the Creationist, the answer is simple. The number six is the number of Man. And the number eight is the number of Satan.
.
And so, that is why spiders catch little bugs in their nets, and not the other way around. Because the spider web is a perfect illustration of Satan’s snares, which he uses to ensnare the souls of men.

THE BEAST & THE DRAGON
.
Now, just look at the Bible, and you will see this number eight being used to describe Satan.
.
Listen… “And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads (of the Antichrist 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 the beast that was, and is not, even he is THE EIGHTH, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.” Revelation 17:9-11
.
So, here is the Antichrist Beast. And his seven heads represent seven mountains, and seven kings. But the Beast himself is the eighth.
.
And of course, this beast is made in image of the Revelation 12 Dragon. And so, the Beast and the Dragon are made in the same image!

JESUS EXPLAINS THE NUMBER, “8”
.
Okay, so what is the significance of the number eight? Just what spiritual truth does the number eight represent?
.
Perhaps a parabolic truth which Jesus told the Pharisees will make these things clearer.
.
Listen…
“When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man,
he walks through dry places, seeking rest;
and finding none, he saith,
I will return unto my house whence I came out.
And when he comes, he finds it swept and garnished.
Then goes he, and takes to him seven other spirits
more wicked than himself;
and they enter in, and dwell there:
and the last state of that man is worse than the first.”
Luke 11:24-26

NUMBER “7”, A RELIGIOUS NUMBER
.
So, this little illustration presents a great big truth. Yes, Jesus was telling the Pharisees this account, so as to illustrate how Satan can take some secular person, and turn him into a much more evil person.
.
And this story was given to the Pharisees to illustrate their very own condition! When a person is merely an abject unbeliever, he only has one evil spirit: an unclean spirit at that! But should that same man become religious, but with no true conversion, then Satan moves back in, bringing seven more religious devils with him (not literally 7 more devils, but figuratively)! And now the man was far worse off than when he was merely a worldling!
.
Now he is a religious man, symbolized by the addition of 7 devils. Oh yes, he is still unconverted! But Satan has now given him what 2nd Corinthians 4:4 reveals as, “a form of godliness”, but with merely a counterfeit “holy spirit”! He’s now a moralist!
.
And so, this is the big point of the number eight. It is 7 + 1. Satan plus his counterfeit religiosity, represented by God’s number of spiritual rest, “7”.

CUTTLEFISH: THE ULTIMATE IMPOSTORS!
.
One of the most amazing creatures ever created is the Cuttlefish! This amazing creature…“has eight arms, and two tentacles furnished with denticulated suckers, with which they secure their prey.” (Info provided by Wikipedia)
.
The reason why this creature is so incredible, is that whatever the Cuttlefish passes over, it instantly begins to change into the same color and shape of that undersea object!
.
And so, its enemies cannot easily detect the camouflaged Cuttlefish!

CUTTLEFISH: SYMBOL OF SATAN
.
Well, God has created this little eight-arm 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!)
.
Most certainly, Satan and his unseen minions love to make themselves invisible! And then with strobe-like flashes, Satanic forces mesmerize us with the glittering tinsel-like treasures and earthy pleasures!
.
This is the manner in which, they can deceptively work their misery and woe upon this unsuspecting world!
.
Yes, without Satan’s deceptions and mesmerizing allurements, the world’s inhabitants would become alarmed, which would cause us to rebel against Satan’s kingdom, as we flee to God for refuge and safety!
.
.
.
.
.
SATAN WORKS UNDERCOVER
.
Now, God has created this amazing creature’s camouflaging abilities, to illustrate how Satan works undercover within the Church!
.
Listen… “And then shall that Wicked be revealed…Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,” 2nd Thessalonians 2:8, 9 (condensed)
.
As this above passage reveals, Satan will counterfeit the workings of God, to deceive God’s people, until the day he is revealed to God’s Elect!

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN
.
.
.
SEVEN HEADS 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
.
.
This Dragon Constellation does not have 7 heads and 10 horns and 7 crowns, as this above verse speaks of. But the wave of water coming out of the Dragon’s mouth has these numbers, 7 and 10, according to the brightness of the stars which comprise the wave of water. That is, this wave of water has 10 basic stars (#1 thru #10). But the main body is comprised of 7 stars, leaving three lesser stars at the tip of the wave (#’s 8, 9, 10). So we have a 7/3 division in the star-count on this wave of water. You can somewhat see this in the sketch to the right. Just notice that the main body of this wave has 7 stars (#1 thru #7). But the very tip of the curl has 3 little stars (#’s 8, 9, 10). (there are actually 7 more very faint stars in a long string, just under the curl as well, stars: a, b, c, d, e, f, g, which brings the total number of stars to 17.)
.
So God has created this wave of water to give us much insight into just what those heads and horns and crowns all represent on the Revelation 13 Beast.
.
For details on this phenomenon of the wave, just go to “Flood Waters of Satan” article.
