Valley of Decision Now!

Part 2:

“Wise & Foolish?”

A continuation of Part 1, “August 5th (Valley Of Decision, Now!)”

.

.

.

.

.

In August 5th, Part 1 (click here to read), the basic concept of the Valley of Decision was briefly spoken of. Yes, it is a valley which comes to each and every human who comes into the world.

.

Listen… “That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.” John 1:9.

.

As this above verse reveals, every man, woman, and child who is born into this world will have opportunity to decide whether or not to worship the true Creator/Redeemer God.

VALLEY OF DECISION NOW APPEARING IN SKY!

.

Now as we look into the night heavens in mid-Summer through Fall, the Lord has created a constellation group to represent this Valley of Decision concept! It appears as two mountains, with a valley between. One Mount represents the Mount Gerizim, the Mount of Blessings, and the other represents Mount Ebal, the Mount of Cursings, as spoken of in Deuteronomy 11:29.

Valley of Decision Constellation

.

Listen… “These (6 tribes of Israel) shall stand upon mount Gerizim to bless the people, when ye are come over Jordan…And these (the other 6 tribes) shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse;” Deuteronomy 27:12, 13

.

And so these two mountains represent the blessings which come to those who obey God, or the cursings which come upon the disobedient!

SATAN’S CHOICE “C” ALTERNATIVE KINGDOM

.

Okay, so this is a really simple concept! Blessings for the obedient! Cursing for the disobedient! Not much to get mixed up with!

.

But Satan is not satisfied with such an either/or choice! No, Satan has made it his chief goal to confuse the issue! And so, he has created the societies of the world to make it seem as though there is a third alternative!

.

In other words, Satan has designed this world to be a place of exciting and intriguing people, places, and things to do! It is a world of selfish pleasures and self-promoting ambitions! And yet, the people to a great extent are seemingly moral and law-abiding.

.

Very confusing, to say the least!

“O DESTROYING MOUNTAIN, BABYLON” 

.

And so, if you look carefully, there is a third mountain to the right. And in the summer/fall night-sky, it is to the south of the other two mountains, as you look eastward.

Valley of Decision w/names

.

You see, this third mountain is called, “O Destroying Mountain, Babylon Constellation”. It represents the kingdom of Satan, which he has created this world to be. Yes, Satan has done an incredible job of creating this world to be a sort of alternative choice to God’s universal kingdom of unselfish love! Satan, however, offers Mankind his own kingdom: a kingdom of selfishness in which a person can “do his own thing”, as the saying goes!

“THE WAYS OF DEATH”

Proverbs 14:12

Valley of Decision w/names

.

The problem is, while God’s kingdom leads to life everlasting, Satan’s kingdom leads to destruction and finally, death. As you can see in this drawing, there appears to be a highway going straight downward to the Revelation 12 Dragon. This Dragon represents Satan. And you will notice a five-star wheel-like configuration which appears to be rolling down that highway toward the Dragon. Well, that represents the Five Foolish Virgins, as foretold in Matthew, Chapter 25. These Foolish Virgins represent all those who begin the Christian life, but who still try to hang on to the pleasures and proud pursuits of this selfish world. Yes, this five-star wheel is rolling straight down into the “belly of Hell”!

WISE VIRGINS

.Valley of Decision & O Destroying Mtn. Constellations

Now, if you will also notice the oval-shaped object which appears to be making its way up the side of the Mount of Blessing (mountain farthest to the left). This object is actually the largest looking galaxy in the night-sky, commonly referred to as Andromeda. Well, this galaxy represents the Five Wise Virgins! And that same passage in Matthew explains that the Five Wise Virgins represent those who come into the Church, who use their time and means, to purify their hearts, in hopes of becoming transformed into the likeness of Jesus!

.

And so, right up there in the night-sky, God has given us a picture of the basic concept of the battle-lines between Satan and his deceived, foolish captives, and God and His wise followers!

WISE & FOOLISH VIRGINS IN WEST!

Serpent Constellation

.

Now, if this isn’t amazing enough, there is much more to all this! You see, on the other side of the night-sky in August and September, in the first hours of darkness, there appears another constellation group. And this group is also known as the Five Wise & the Five Foolish Virgins. They depict the very same Wise & Foolish Virgins which are in the east, in the Valley of Decision Constellation Group.

.

Now these Wise & Foolish Virgins in the west are located on either side of the 12-Star Crown of Revelation 12 Constellation (aka, Corona Borealis). But the Five Wise Virgins are somewhat encircling that Crown, while the Foolish are curved away from that Crown! And this represents the two divisions of the Church: those who are wise and faithful, and those who are foolish and apostate! The wise are paying attention to this Crown of Victory, while the foolish have their backs turned to that Crown. In other words, only those who are wise will understand and appreciate just how important the gift of Salvation is. And so, only the wise-ones in God’s house, are striving to win that Crown of Victory, as is written… “Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.” James 1:12

THE SERPENT OF OLD CONSTELLATION

.Serpent Constellation

Now all this is a lot to try to comprehend in one sitting. But this devotional will attempt to present just one more aspect to these two constellation groups.

.

You see, the Five Foolish Virgins which are encircling the Crown, are part of a long snake-like constellation, which is called the “The Serpent of Old Constellation”. The head and jaws of this serpent is made of the same four stars commonly known as Draco the Dragon. Yes, the ancient astronomers got it partially correct, when they named this dragon, Draco! However, the body of Draco is completely different from “The Serpent of Old Constellation”.

SERPENT’S JAWS POINT TO TWO DESTINATIONS

.

Now as you can see, the Serpent of Old Constellation appears to be heading straight across the heavens in the direction of The Valley of Decision Constellation!

Serpent Points To Valley & Destroying Mtn.

.

Now here is the really amazing part of all this! If you go out in the night, and find these constellations, you might be able to see that the two jaws of Draco are pointing in two very different directions! One jaw is pointing to the Mount of Cursing in the Valley of Decision Constellation. And the other jaw points straight to the Broad Way to Destruction which goes from the O Destroying Mountain, Babylon Constellation down into the Revelation 12 Dragon Constellation!

.

Now the obvious message here is that God has created these two constellation groups to present a clear picture of Salvation of His Elect, wise ones, and the damnation of all those who foolishly try to hold on to this selfish world of sin!

LOCATING THIS CONSTELLATION GROUP…

.

Valley of Decision + O Destroying Mountain Constellation Group

.

Look eastward in the early summer through fall. Find the Cassiopeia Constellation. Cassiopeia is the Mount of Blessing. In the sketch, it is the farthest mountain to the left. In the sky, it is the northern-most of these three mountains when facing eastward. It resembles a pyramid. Then find the next pyramid to its right (south). Then go a little further south to the next third pyramid. The third snow-cap is the Destroying Mountain Constellation. These three pyramids are the snow-capped portion of these three mountains in this sketch. (of course, you won’t see the snow-caps in the sky. They are just an embellishment in this sketch to present a concept-EDITOR).

.

“Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.” Micah 4:1, 2

Valley of Decision & O Destroying Mtn. Constellations

.

.

THE VALLEY OF DECISION CONSTELLATION GROUP. They appear in mid-summer in the eastern skies in pre-dawn hours. These are made of Cassiopeia (mount on left), and various stars from the Andromeda Constellation (valley) Pegasus (Mount of Cursing (middle mount) & Destroying Mount (right)), and Pisces (Broad Way to Hell). The galaxy which appears to be climbing the Mountain of Blessing is the Andromeda Galaxy

.

The above Wikipedia star-chart shows this amazing constellation group as it appears from June to fall, just prior to the winter constellation group. Actually, this Valley of Decision Constellations appear in early summer in the pre-dawn hours. (Editor of this website has sketched in this constellation group onto this above Wikipedia star-chart.)

Serpent Points To Valley & Destroying Mtn.

Now another incredible aspect to all this is that this snake/serpent is winding its way around the backside of this Crown. And it is traveling in a direction away from the Crown! And one really phenomenal aspect to this, is that each jaw (composed of two stars each) is pointing in two directions. In other words, if you drew a line parallel with these two sets of stars (the head of Draco), they each go in two directions: one leading to the Valley of Decision Constellation, and the other going straight to the Broad Way to Hell Constellation (AKA Pisces).

.

Now if one studies the Valley of Decision Constellation, it is soon discovered that the same concept, of the Wise and Foolish Virgins, is also depicted in this constellation group. The Five Wise Virgins being depicted by the Andromeda Galaxy, and the Five Foolish Virgins, looking like a wheel, rolling its way down into the Dragon Constellation!

.

Now, before this gets too confusing, perhaps we should dissect each aspect individually, to get a basic understanding of just what all this means.
