Daily Devotional, Year 4 – October 1

.

And He Spake as a Dragon!

.

Part 1 “Internet: The Ultimate Great Tribulation Weapon!”

To read Part 1, click here…January 11 (Cuttlefish & The False Prophet, “And He Spake As A Dragon!”)

.

“And I beheld another beast

coming up out of the earth;

and he had two horns like a lamb,

and he spake as a dragon.“

Revelation 13:11

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 a similar 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 armies 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 isn’t true that the pleasures and riches of this world, like the cuttlefish’s strobe-hypnotizer, have a mesmerizing effect upon us, just like this above little video reveals?

.

“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 was changed into a seemingly benign and beneficent society to a great degree. Oh yes, there has always been many underlying dangers and evils lurking out there!

“And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.“

Revelation 13:11

.

This second Beast of Revelation 13 speaks of this current-day phenomenon in which the media goliaths have become totally satanic, foisting the most hideous and evil antichrist ideologies upon the world.

.

From totalitarianism, to antichrist-atheism, to immorality, to murder of the unborn, to persecution/murder of Jews/Christians/moralists (conservatives), to sodomy and child-mutilation, to racial hatred, to bullying in various forms, etc., the media has become the mouthpiece of Satan.

.

Yes, the media has devolved so greatly into a snake-pit of lies, corruption, hypocrisy, cover-ups and the like, to the degree that they have lost any sense of honor, decency, or honesty.

.

“The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted”

Psalm 12:8

.

If you haven’t noticed, there has been a rise of political tyrants in the western nations.

.

Yes, and along those same lines, there has also been a rise in those who desire to use the high-tech to control the thoughts and actions of the general populace.

.

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places”

Ephesians 6:12

.

Now, of course, as Bible-believing Christians, we are not ignorant of the fact that the spirit of antichrist is the true source of all this tyrannical uprising, which is systematically eliminating our freedoms, day-by-day.

.

But we must not be deceived into believing that all this merely happenstance. No, the Internet and the devices which employ this new power of the airwaves is to become Satan’s ultimate Judgment Day weaponry, holding the supreme position in Satan’s multi-arsenal against humanity, and ultimately against God’s sheepfold!

THE HIGH-TECH ‘FURNACE OF AFFLICTION’ AWAITS US!

.

The Bible foretells of the day in which, “no man might buy or sell, saving him which has the mark, or name, or the number of his name…six-hundred-threescore-and-six”

.

And as we all know, present-day high-tech society has the capability of allowing or preventing each individual from buying or selling.

.

“no man might buy or sell, saving him which has the mark, or name, or the number of his name…six-hundred-threescore-and-six”

Revelation 13:17, 18

.

And Satan is working around the clock to add even more technology which will give government and business absolute power to control every aspect of life, individually tailored and custom-fit for each and every, man, woman, and child!

.

And while most will be able to move freely about, the few who refuse to become indoctrinated into this antichrist world-system will find themselves incapable of even the smallest conveniences. They will be blacklisted. Cancelled! Cut off! Banished from society! At least, this seems to be the general direction which the world is headed.

“And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth (the Golden Image) shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace”

Daniel 3:6

.

So, just what is the solution to all this?

.

Well, just as the three Hebrew boys were cast alive into the King of Babylon’s fiery furnace, so too will God’s faithful ones be cut off and eventually killed for refusing to bow down to the true King of Babylon, Lucifer.

.

And those who do bow down will become little more than devils-in-human-bodies, as they ruthlessly persecute God’s true sheep! And since society is fast becoming totally computerized, it will be no problem to differentiate “between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not!” Malachi 3:18

.

.

“Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction”

Isaiah 48:10

.

And in conclusion, let it be said that God is allowing all this tribulation to refine His vessels of gold and silver via the fiery trials before us!

LOCATING THIS CONSTELLATION GROUP…

*“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 Mountain Constellation Group

Look eastward in the early summer through fall. Find the Cassiopeia Constellation. Cassiopeia is the Mount of Blessing. In this sketch, it is the farthest mountain to the left. In the sky, it is the northernmost of these three mountains when facing eastward. It somewhat resembles a pyramid, as do the other two.

.

Then find the second 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).

.

THE VALLEY OF DECISION CONSTELLATION GROUP.

Valley of Decision & O Destroying Mtn. Constellations

.

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) and Pegasus (Mount of Cursing (middle mount) and the “Destroying Mountain” (right)), and Pisces (“The 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, these 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.)

Daily Devotional, Year 4, September 30 (Here Comes the Thought Police! Part 3 “The Sound of One Hand Clapping”)

By admin On December 1st, 2023

.

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – September 30

.

“Here Comes the Thought Police!”

.

Part 3 “The Sound of One Hand Clapping”

To read Part 1, click here…August 11 (“The Thought Police Have Finally Arrived!”)

.

Many political commentators have borrowed this phrase, “the sound of one hand clapping”, using it as a metaphor to describe totalitarian governments in which there is no opposition party to challenge the oppressive authoritarianism of the various dictatorships in this lost world.

.

And, tragically, we are seeing this same totalitarian mind-set beginning to rise up on a massive scale in the formerly Christian nations of Europe and the Americas. The governments, the Internet/media-goliaths, and even much of the populace are now embracing such iron-fisted ideologies!

.

Non-free media information and use rationale for One Hand Clapping (novel)

.

“(The world) Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools”

Romans 1:22

Most everyone remembers when politicians trumpeted the call to “Defund the police! Defund the police!”

And so, many cities began a campaign to do just that! “After all”, they said, “people just need a helping hand! And police are so evil!”

Defund the police – the Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic license – cropped image

.

Anarchy…”and the cities of the nations fell…”

Revelation 16:19

.

Well, as you probably already know, the results of defunding and defaming the police has brought disastrous results! Those same cities have become increasingly lawless and unresponsive to crime!

.

But the question which many are scratching their heads over, is this: “Why on earth could any half-intelligent person possibly believe that defunding the police could somehow be a good thing?!”

.

Columbus BLM Protest – defund police – Wikipedia – cropped image – the Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic license

.

“…giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;”

1st Timothy 4:1, 2

.

Well, let’s not be simple-minded and naive! The truth is, these same people who called so loudly to defund the police, are actually planning to bring society under total authoritarian control! As a matter of fact, they are working feverishly right now to turn this once-great nation into a giant police-state! And if it weren’t for the push-back from freedom-loving dissidents, we’d already be under totalitarian control!

.

**So, let’s all say, “we won’t get fooled again”, as one songster sang!**

.

Yes, the sad fact is, that society is now able to control every aspect of our lives! And their abilities are increasing daily!

.

George Orwell’s “1984”

.

In George Orwell’s little book, 1984, he presented a world in which the rulers had succeeded in complete totalitarian control over the masses.

.

**And there were even “Thought Police” to control the people’s thoughts.**

.

1984 Big-Brother is watching you – Wikimedia – Copy-Left license

.

THE THOUGHT POLICE HAVE FINALLY ARRIVED!

.

Well, about the only thing that Orwell had miscalculated in this predictive novel was the date for this super-society to come into reality. He was about 40 years off!

But that day has finally arrived in which society can (and will) be brought under the control of dictatorial rulers! Orwell’s book should have been titled “2024”!

.

**Yes, by means of the modern media, “Big Brother” (aka Satan) can now completely control the masses.**

.

And now, these high-tech devices are beginning to blacklist all those who do not hold to the maxims which our society now approves and condones.

.

.

FREE SPEECH ENDS WHERE IT BEGAN?

.

It is more than just a little ironically strange and weird that in the very place which became the centerpiece for the modern-day protection of “freedom of speech”, has now become the centerpiece to stamp out “freedom of speech”!

.

And perhaps even stranger, it is the very same political party who have long prided themselves as being the arbiters and protectors of that freedom, who are now the very same political party applauding any media outlet or violent mob which squelches the free speech of their political foes!

.

THE BIBLE FORETOLD OF THIS DAY!

.

It’s truly frightening to see all this totalitarianism being ratcheted up so swiftly.

.

But the Bible foretold that this day would finally arrive…“And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Revelation 13:17

.

Now this verse by itself may not give us enough understanding into the current-day phenomenon of censoring.

.

Duct Tape Mouth – cropped image – Wikimedia – Share-alike license

.

“Buy the truth, and sell it not!”

.

But this next verse complements the previous verse found in Revelation 13:17.

.

This complementary verse is found in Proverbs 23:23…“Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.”

.

Now from this and other similar verses, it is revealed that “buying and selling” actually has to do with preaching the Gospel of Jesus.

.

And so, the Bible prophesied that the day would come when the true and unvarnished Word of God would be cut off…“And that no man might buy or sell (the truth)” (parenthetical comment by website editor)

.

Duct Tape Mouth – Wikimedia – Share-alike license

.

THE “GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY”

Proverbs 25:25

.

But the Good News in all this coming totalitarianism, is that God’s Word is still available to read!

.

And most everyone is familiar with this next verse…“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32

.

Yes, the continuing search for knowledge of the Bible and the Bible’s Jesus will make us free indeed!

THE WOMAN ON THE ALTAR CONSTELLATION

.

“Let my prayer be set forth

.

before Thee as incense;

.

and the lifting up

.

of my hands as the evening sacrifice.”

Psalm 142:2

.

LOCATING THIS CONSTELLATION…

This “Golden Altar” Constellation is only seen in winter through spring, in mid-sky. It is to the south of the “Fleeing Woman Constellation” (AKA Ursa Major or The Big Dipper).

.

The “Fleeing Woman of Revelation 12” Constellation is in the northeastern sky in this sketch. You would be facing east and looking very high up almost to mid-sky to see this constellation group this way. The altar is farther south but still in the eastern sky. This altar itself is commonly known as “Leo Major“, with the smoke rising being “Leo Minor“.

.

A little farther down this page is the sketch of this same constellation in the latter part of winter, when you look at them facing westward. You will notice that what looked like Gospel seed being cast from her left hand and left foot (see “Woman of Revelation 12-The Fleeing Woman” article for explanation of casting “Gospel Seed”) now appears like smoke or incense rising from the altar. It is not clear why the altar is sideways in back of the Woman. It would make more sense if it were directly under the Woman. However, the Lord must have some spiritual truth to convey concerning this odd positioning of the Altar. 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.

THE ZODIAC CONSTELLATION NAMES

It is not the purpose of www.theheavensdeclare.net to give any validity to the Zodiac or any pagan deities. But the common names of many constellations (such as Scorpio or Sagittarius, etc.), must be given, solely for the purpose of locating them on star-charts.

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – July 13 (Noble Bereans? Part 62: “Did Ellen G. White Plagiarize?”)

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – July 13

.

Noble Bereans?

.

Part 62:

“Did Ellen G. White Plagiarize?”

To read Part 1 of this series, click here…September 2nd (Noble Bereans? Part 1)

.

“These were more noble than those in Thessalonica,

in that they received the word with all readiness of mind,

and searched the scriptures daily,

whether those things were so.”

Acts 17:11

.

So, in this little series, the subject of those noble Bereans has been introduced. And today, it is still worthy of a little more exploration into another area of concern.

.

Let’s review the key Bible passage… “And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming there, went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.” Acts 17:10, 11

.

St Paul Preaching (Raphael, 1515) – Wikipedia – US public domain

.

AN OPEN-MINDED SPIRIT IN BEREA

.

Okay, so those in Berea were more noble, because they:

.

1. “Received the Word with all readiness of mind.”

.

2. “And searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so.”

.

And because of this excellent, open-minded Spirit, the Bereans were ready to receive new teachings, which no doubt, conflicted with the supposed, “orthodox” teachings of that day.

.

Thus, there was an open-minded love for truth which permeated their hearts, and a willingness to search the Scriptures daily, in hopes that these seemingly new teachings were indeed true!

TODAY’S CANCEL CULTURE

.

A recent phenomenon we witness today, is what has become tagged as “Cancel Culture”.

.

And this seemingly new phenomenon is the act of attempting to weaponize some misdeed or sin as a way to discount or even destroy some individual.

Some bits of academic bullying around us based on a thread by @hapyresearchers. – Public Domain – Wikimedia

.

A CANCEL-CULTURE WORLD

.

But as most us realize, this so-called “Cancel Culture” has been a favorite means of cancelling out some individual even as far back as the Garden of Eden, when Lucifer, speaking through a serpent, tried to cancel out the Creator God, by accusing Him of selfishness…“For God doth know that in the day in which you shall eat of it, ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil!” Genesis, Chapter 3.

.

Yes, so many humans have been “cancelled” over the past millenniums, because of some accusation, either a true one but also many false accusations.

.

“Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity”

Matthew 23:28

And a very troubling aspect to today’s Cancel-Culture is to find fault with some person because of something they might have done or said in past decades. But one of the problems which critics of the cancel-culture point to concerning this current practice is that the morals of society are changing so rapidly that what some accused individual said or did years previous, were acceptable back in those decades.

.

One example of this is how today’s cancel-culture fanatics have tried to cancel the founders of this nation because of some words or deeds they supposedly did, which were in sync with the commonly acceptable standards of those times.

.

“yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service”

John 16:2

.

Now, many of us in the Christian community gaze out on our society and look with disgust at today’s cancel-culture for their dishonesty and hypocrisy.

.

And yet, sadly, the Church has engaged in the exact same practice, many times!

.

.

ELLEN G. WHITE

.

For example, one of the most common criticisms which her detractors make is that Ellen G. White stole or plagiarized some of her writings.

.

Well, what today’s church-leaders ignore is that back in the 1800’s, it was a commonly acceptable practice to borrow the writings of other Christian authors.

.

As a matter of fact, Christian authors were mostly delighted to have their written thoughts shared by other authors! They viewed this practice as a glory to God, to think that their writings were shared!

.

JUDGING ELLEN WHITE BY TODAY’S AVARICIOUS STANDARDS

.

And let’s not forget, that we now live in a day in which there are strict copyright laws, and very jealous attempt to prevent others from borrowing from another Christian author. But it wasn’t like this back in previous generations.

.

For example, Ellen White was asked by various people to condense a rather large volume on the Book of Acts, written by another author. She made no effort to cover this up, as if she was some sort of plagiarist. No, she freely made clear that her simplifying that author’s work, was merely done to make the book more easily readable.

.

But her critics today ignore that the laws and common practices in the 1800’s were vastly different from today’s stringent standards!

.

ELLEN WHITE’S OWN WORDS REGARDING BORROWING

.

Ellen White often made use of literary sources in communicating her messages. In the Introduction to one of her most popular books the editors wrote:

“In some cases where a historian has so grouped together events as to afford, in brief, a comprehensive view of the subject, or has summarized details in a convenient manner, his words have been quoted; but in some instances no specific credit has been given, since the quotations are not given for the purpose of citing that writer as authority, but because his statement affords a ready and forcible presentation of the subject. In narrating the experience and views of those carrying forward the work of reform in our own time, similar use has been made of their published works”

(The Great Controversy, p. xii).

.

As we can easily see here, Ellen White lived in a day in which Christians were delighted and honored to have their efforts magnified by others if that resulted in God and the Bible being magnified!

.

Another historian wrote…“American legal history, Ramik issued a 27-page legal opinion in which he concluded “Ellen White was not a plagiarist, and her works did not constitute copyright infringement/piracy.” Ramik points out several factors that critics of Ellen White’s writings have failed to take into account when accusing her of literary theft or deceit. 1) Her selections “stayed well within the legal boundaries of ‘fair use.'” 2)”

.

“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death”

Revelation 12:11

.

Yes, there’s be a whole lot of cancelling going on throughout the ages.

.

Burned at the stake.

.

Tortured by cruel devices.

.

Banished from the church.

.

Families killed.

.

.

“The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil”

John 7:7

.

And so, as already declared, the cancel-culture was alive and well, even from the original Garden, and to the day in which they cancelled Jesus, and to the apostles also being cancelled, and even the various Christian martyrs, who were cancelled.

.

.

CANCEL-CULTURE COMING FOR CHRISTIANS

.

And even the Bible prophesied that in these last moments, faithful Christians will likewise be cancelled, many forfeiting their jobs, livelihood, and even their very own lives simply because they boldly proclaim the true, unvarnished Gospel.

.

“And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”

.

Here is seen that Revelation 13:17 foretells of humanity’s last big cancelling of Christians, in which they will be prevented from buying and selling.

.

.

“He that overcometh…I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before My Father, and before His angels”

Revelation 3:5

.

So, dear Christian, let’s get ourselves ready for the coming “time of trouble”, which is now already here!

.

But praise be to God our Savior, who will bring us into that long-awaited Promised Land, in the earth-made-new. And in that wonderful and happy place, there will absolutely be no more cancelling!

.

**And in that wonderful land, we (and all who loved Jesus throughout history) will live forever and ever, and there we will be forever happy and forever young!**

HEAVENLY OBJECT LESSON

“Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.” Isaiah 24:23

When God created the Moon and the stars, He ordained them to “rule the night” (Gen. 1:16). The Moon, especially when it is full, can light your pathway through the night, as it reflects the light of the Sun.

So too, the Christian is to be a light to the world: to this sin-darkened world. But as the Moon must reflect the light of the Sun, in order to be a light to the world, so also must the Christian reflect the light of Jesus, to be a spiritual light to this planet in rebellion. Listen…

.

“Ye are the light of the world…Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16

.

However, during an eclipse, the Earth passes directly between the Sun and the Moon, preventing that sunlight from shining on the Moon’s face. This is an incredible object-lesson about when the child of God allows the world to come between him and his Lord. Like the eclipse, that person no longer reflects the light of Jesus, because his or her love of this dark world of sin has eclipsed the light from the “Sun of Righteousness” (see Malachi 4:2).

.

**And so, this is just one of the many poetic truths seen in the Moon. (For more on this subject of an eclipse, you may link to the article… “Lunar Eclipse & Spiritual Eclipse”)**

Daily Devotional, Year 4: February 4

.

Noble Bereans,

.

Part 48:

“Ellen White & Harold Camping Regarding Eternal Torment?”

To read part 1, click here…”September 2nd (Noble Bereans?)”

.

So, in this little series, the subject of those noble Bereans has been introduced. And today, it is still worthy of a little more exploration into another area of concern.

.

Let’s review the key Bible passage… “And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea:

who coming there, went into the synagogue of the Jews.

These were more noble than those in Thessalonica,

in that they received the word with all readiness of mind,

and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.”

Acts 17:10, 11

.

St Paul Preaching (Raphael, 1515) – Wikipedia – US public domain

.

AN OPEN-MINDED SPIRIT IN BEREA

.

Okay, so those in Berea were more noble, because they:

.

1. “Received the Word with all readiness of mind.”

.

2. “And searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so.”

.

And so, the Bereans were ready to receive new teachings, which no doubt, conflicted with the supposed, “orthodox” teachings of that day.

.

Thus there was an open-mindedness which permeated their hearts, and a willingness to search the Scriptures daily, in hopes that these seemingly new teachings were indeed true!

.

.

CAMPING AND WHITE BOTH IN AGREEMENT

.

Well, it’s too bad that Harold Camping didn’t understand Ellen White’s ministry.

.

Yes, Harold Camping thought Mrs. White to be a false prophet.

.

But had he explored her ministry more closely, he might have discovered that she taught many similar truths which he also taught!

.

.

THE CHURCH DOCTRINE of “ETERNAL TORMENT”

.

For over 45 years, Harold Camping taught and defended the church-doctrine commonly known as “Eternal Torment”.

.

Since his single-digit years as a small child, he heard this church-doctrine taught in Sunday School.

.

And because this horrific view of Hell’s eternal torment was so deeply etched into the hearts and minds of churchgoers through the decades, Harold Camping was just one of many who were solidly conditioned to believe in this archaic Catholic church-doctrine.

.

After all, haven’t we all been thoroughly indoctrinated to believe that Hell is a place of fiery eternal torment?

.

Harold Camping – Wikipedia – copyrighted – not-for-free-use

.

ELLEN WHITE TAUGHT “HELL IS THE GRAVE”

.

Now, on the other hand, Ellen White always taught that Hell was merely the grave.

.

And by scrolling down to almost the bottom of this page, the Reader can listen to a 40+ minute audio chapter from Ellen White’s book, The Great Controversy, which deals with the subject of the church-doctrine known as “Eternal Torment”.

.

Ellen G. White – Wikimedia – Public Domain

.

HAROLD CAMPING FINALLY CHANGED VIEW HIS OWN VIEW OF HELL

.

Now for so many decades, Harold Camping vehemently opposed, not only Ellen White’s view regarding the nature of Hell, but was also very much in opposition to her entire ministry, calling her a “false prophet”.

.

And it wasn’t until the last few years of Camping’s 50+ year radio ministry, that he finally admitted that he had been wrong concerning the true nature of Hell.

.

But finally, after all those decades of publicly defending and even promoting “Eternal Torment”, Camping at last realized that it was just another false Babylonish doctrine which the churches had been clinging to through the centuries (yes, the ancient Babylonians originally taught that Hell was a place of conscious existence).

.

Harold-Camping – courtesy Family Radio

.

CAMPING AND WHITE ALIGNED REGARDING HELL

.

Now the point of today’s devotional is to show just one more doctrine that both White and Camping agreed on: Hell being the grave.

.

Yes, when Camping finally realized that God does not eternally torment all unbelievers and apostate Christians, then he was aligned with Ellen White in their correct understanding of the nature of Hell.

.

Ellen G. White – Wikimedia – Public Domain

Harold-Camping – courtesy Family Radio

.

SOME TEACHINGS NEED TO BE MODIFIED

.

Now it must also be stated that other of Camping’s teachings quite often presented various Bible truths which White’s ministry did not address back in her day. These truths were the proverbial, “other side of the coin”, since the Bible has many different facets of truth, some of which Camping taught, but Ellen White did not, and visa-versa!

.

And as every Truth-seeker explores the writings of Ellen White and the audio recordings of Harold Camping, there should begin to be the implementation of the exhortation from 1st Thessalonians 5:21 that we must…“Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.”

.

**Yes, every truth-seeking Noble Berean should be daily investigating both those ministries with the intent to prove all things, and hold fast the good things from each ministry.**

.

In other words, there are some doctrines which the 1st Angel’s Message taught that have been modified by the 2nd Angel’s Message.

.

But there are likewise, some truths taught by the 2nd Angel’s Message which the 1st Angel’s Message modifies.

.

.

3RD ANGEL’S MESSAGE CORRECTS 1ST TWO MESSAGES

.

But in God’s great mercy and wisdom, He has raised up the 3rd Angel’s Message to blend these two messages together. And combined with the Third Angel’s Message, these three separate messages will make one complete and harmonious, biblical message.

.

And so, the Reader is encouraged to read through all of these daily devotionals, but also listening to the audio messages at the bottom of each day’s devotional.

.

ABOVE PICTURE: Orion the Soldier and the Revelation 12 Dragon (Hyades & Pleiades, etc. – winter constellations – www.signsofheaven.org – not for commercial use

.

PROOF POSITIVE OF CAMPING’S AND WHITE’S MINISTRY

.

And the very Good News is, that this further agreement between Camping’s ministry and White’s ministry puts a great big giant exclamation mark on the validity and veracity of both these two ministries.

.

Yes, they both are indeed a dramatic fulfillment of the prophecy found in Revelation 14 concerning the messages of the three angels!

.

And every truth-seeking “Noble Berean” is invited and encouraged to scroll down to the bottom of this day’s devotional to listen to the 40+ minute audio version of Ellen White’s Chapter 33 from The Great Controversy, entitled, “The First Great Deception“

.

THESE SIGNS ARE MENTIONED

.

From time to time, the Book of Revelation mentions stars. But when we get to Revelation Chapter 12, it speaks of two “great signs in heaven”. First, it speaks of the sign in heaven of a woman with child. Then it speaks of the sign in heaven of a great red dragon, with a tail that sweeps one-third of the stars and casts these stars down to the earth. So we get the sense that this phenomenon that the Apostle John was seeing, was closely intertwined with the starry host of the heavens. And these two signs in heaven, a woman, and a dragon, are a big part of this website, Signs Of Heaven.

.

And so this phenomenon that the Apostle John was seeing, was closely intertwined with the starry host of the heavens.

What really gives validity to this idea, is that God created the Universe in such a way, that if one looks at the major constellations, then this Revelation 12 scenario can be seen. So please read on. And if you really want to see this heavenly battle, you just might. It will take some real effort on your part. But through prayer, faith, and study of the site, God may just graciously open your eyes to see this amazing story written on the heavenly scroll above. But don’t wait! This heavenly scroll will soon be rolled up, just as it is written… “And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together;” Revelation 6:14

WINTER CONSTELLATIONS-SEEN IN FALL: This sketch to the right is how this constellation group appears in the eastern sky in fall. This is the four primary constellations of the Winter Constellations. They can be seen in this position, in the late fall above the eastern horizon. The Woman of Revelation 12 is commonly called Ursa Major or The Big Dipper and appears in the north. Orion the Soldier is the at the bottom is to the south of the Woman. The The Dragon of Revelation Constellation’s mouth isThe Hyades Cluster, and the tip of his tail is Pleiades, and his Wave of Water is primarily the Auriga constellation. The Glorious Horse Constellation head is of Perseus Constellation and his rear end is Cassiopeia Constellation.

Daily Devotional, Year 4: January 24 (Noble Bereans, Part 43: “Re-Thinking Ellen White Concerning the Adventist Apostasy”)

By admin On January 19th, 2018

.

Daily Devotional, Year 4: January 24

.

Noble Bereans,

.

Part 43:

“Re-Thinking Ellen White Concerning the Adventist Apostasy”

To read part 1, click here…”September 2nd (Noble Bereans?)”

.

There are many who condemn Ellen White as being a false prophet and cult leader. But more often than not, most people rarely spend any time really studying her writings.

.

And so, instead of an open-minded researching of her writings like all truth-seeking, “Noble Bereans” do, they instead read some short “hit-piece” publication with a list of her supposed false doctrines.

.

And sadly, this is enough to satisfy most churchgoers.

.

.

BITTER DISPUTE WITH HIERARCHY

.

And because of this ignorance, few people realize that Ellen White engaged in years of disputes with the leaders of her own denomination, because of their apostate behavior. And in addition, she was a sharp critic over the worldliness that began to enter into the Adventist denomination just a few short years after its inception. And this apostasy continued throughout its sad history.

.

And the bitter dispute with the church hierarchy became sharpest in the 1890’s, until she finally had to remove herself from this most distasteful situation: she moved to Australia for a few years (in which she founded churches, hospitals and schools in the “down under” country).

.

Ellen G. White – Wikimedia – Public Domain

.

OTHER CHURCHES NO WORSE THAN ADVENTISTS

.

Just listen to her sharp rebuke to her own denomination concerning their condemnation of other churches…“Among the professed children of God, how little patience has been manifested, how many bitter words have been spoken, how much denunciation has been uttered against those not of our faith. Many have looked upon those belonging to other churches as great sinners, when the Lord does not thus regard them…If they had had the light that many of the members of our churches have had, they might have advanced at a far greater rate, and have better represented their faith to the world.” {RH August 1, 1893, par. 5}

.

Here is revealed that Ellen White was not just some steely-eyed cult leader. Her only loyalty was to God alone, and to His infallible Bible. Oh yes, she loved “The Church”. But ultimately, she regarded God’s true Church as being comprised of only the true worshipers of God, no matter what church or denomination they belonged to.

.

Ellen G. White – Wikimedia – Public Domain

.

“WHERE TWO OR THREE ARE GATHERED TOGETHER”

.

Listen to her statement regarding God’s true Church…“God has a church. It is not the great cathedral, neither is it the national establishment, neither is it the various denominations; it is the people who love God and keep His commandments. ‘Where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them’ (Matthew 18:20). Where Christ is even among the humble few, this is Christ’s church, for the presence of the High and Holy One who inhabiteth eternity can alone constitute a Church.” {Upward Look 315.5}

.

So, this above quote reveals that Mrs. White was under no delusion that Salvation must require membership to the Adventist denomination, as many today ignorantly accuse her.

.

Ellen G. White – Wikimedia – Public Domain

.

“BROUGHT DOWN TO HELL”

.

As a matter of fact, during her bitter dispute with the Church hierarchy during the 1890’s, she wrote…“Of those who boast of their light, and yet fail to walk in it, Christ says, “But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you. And thou, Capernaum [Seventh-day Adventists, who have had great light], which art exalted unto Heaven [in point of privilege], shalt be brought down to Hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.” {RH August 1, 1893, par. 5} (Parenthetical comments by Mrs. White)

.

Here was a stinging rebuke to a denomination which was rebelling against God’s Word because of their love of this present world.

“COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE”

.

And just one year prior to this above quote, she actually advocated bringing out God’s people from that denomination…“There is a little hope in one direction: Take the young men and women, and place them where they will come as little in contact with our churches as possible, that the low grade of piety which is current in this day shall not leaven their ideas of what it means to be a Christian.” {12 Manuscript Releases p. 333.1}

.

AFTER 150+ YEARS, THE APOSTASY STILL GROWS

.

Tragically, the Adventist Church has continued down the road to ruination!

.

And such additional sins as committing mass murder of innocent unborn children, in their hospitals as well as placing their seal of approval on unnatural relationships, have made it abundantly manifest to all sincere worshipers of God, that His Spirit of Holiness no longer abides there, but has been “taken out of the midst”. (see 2nd Thessalonians 2:7)

THE CHIEF OF SINNERS: ME!

.

Now it should be no joyful duty to condemn any church or denomination. Any such criticism should only be done with fear and trembling!

.

And when we consider our own sins, we must agree with Paul…“Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.” 1st Timothy 1:15

.

“FLEE OUT OF THE MIDST OF BABYLON…AND DELIVER…HIS SOUL”

Jeremiah 51:6

.

Nevertheless, God is now calling His people to come out of Babylon, the apostate church-world.

.

And all those Adventists who truly love the Lord will realize that they must “flee to the mountains” and join with those who belonged to non-Adventists denominations who likewise have come out of this church-wide apostasy which has spread throughout all denominations.

***FINALLY WALKING UPWARD* INTO THE HIGHWAYS *OF ETERNITY***

.

Day by day, you will find yourself walking, like the Disciples, spreading the precious Gospel seed wherever the Spirit leads.

.

Taking the lovely name of Jesus, with every word spoken. Walking through this sin-darkened world, witnessing to those who take notice that of a truth, Jesus is present within you. Even like faithful Enoch, walking through the highways and byways of life in this world, spreading the Gospel-seed of unpretentious love.

.

Day by day, you will become more and more closed in with God. Moment by moment, your heart will become intertwined with God’s heart, eventually two hearts beating as one heart.

.

And just like Enoch, when the appointed time of sojourning on earth is finally done…you will walk onward…and upward…and into the highways and byways of eternity. (“And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.” Genesis 5:24).

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – January 11 (The Natural Man & Bible Prophecy, Part 2: “Ellen White & Harold Camping”)

By admin On January 13th, 2018

.

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – September 27

.

The Natural Man & Bible Prophecy,

.

Part 2:

“Ellen White & Harold Camping”

To read Part 1, click here…June 22nd (The Natural Man & Bible Prophecy)

.

**In Part 1 (click here to read), a very critically important truth was established, concerning how the apostate portion of the Church cannot properly discern spiritual things to a great degree.**

.

For the vast majority of theologians and Bible teachers, they do not engage in thorough, comprehensive Bible study, comparing all related passages on various aspects of Bible prophecy, trying to relate all to the Church…“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.” Revelation 22:16

.

This above verse at the end of Revelation is not properly understood by the apostate portion of the Church. They do not understand that Revelation, all 22 chapters, was written for the Church, because it all has to do with events in the churches throughout New Testament times!

.

Audience hands – cropped & altered – Wikimedia – Universal Public Domain

.

“THEIR EARS ARE DULL…THEIR EYES…CLOSED”

.

But this inability to see the true spiritual meaning is not completely the fault of these apostate Bible theologians and teachers.

.

They simply do not have eyes to see nor ears to hear the true spiritual nature of the Bible.

.

Listen to Jesus…“For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.” Matthew 13:15

.

Audience hands – cropped & altered – Wikimedia – Universal Public Domain

.

“THESE THINGS…FOR OUR ADMONITION”

This above verse from Matthew 13:15 applies not only to the Old Testament people, but also to us, “Now all these things happened unto them (Old Testament Israel) for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.” 1st Corinthians 10:11, 12

.

And so, blindness is upon the apostate portion of the Church, that they cannot see the deeper spiritual meaning to these prophecies.

.

People praying – by Sergei Frolov – cropped image – Wikipedia – Share-alike license

.

“BUT THE NATURAL MAN RECEIVES NOT…BECAUSE THEY ARE SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED”

1st Corinthians 2:14

.

Therefore, instead of comparing all related Bible passages concerning this or that particular aspect of prophecy, these blind guides usually just look out on the political landscape of the Middle East and try to find some similar situation by looking at the daily news.

.

But what they do not understand is that in so-doing, they are violating the cardinal rule concerning how to properly decipher Bible prophecy.

.

Newspaper vendor – Wikipedia – Public Domain

.

“EVERY WORD OF GOD IS PURE…ADD THOU NOT…AND THOU BE FOUND A LIAR!”

Proverbs 30:5

.

Listen to this fearful warning from this cardinal rule… “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

.

You see, by attempting to interpret Bible prophecy through comparing scripture with newspaper stories, they are unwittingly adding to God’s Word, joining it to the words of mere erring humans, via the daily news reports.

.

In other words, instead of comparing the Bible with the Bible and spiritual things with spiritual, to find how prophecy relates to the Church and to the war between Heaven and Hell, they instead mistakenly try to relate Bible prophecy to current political events.

.

WHITE AND CAMPING

.

On the other hand, both Ellen White and Harold Camping realized that Bible prophecy relates to the Church, both the apostate portion and the faithful portion, and how Heaven and Hell have been battling against each other, for victory over the Church.

.

.

ONLY AFTER ALL HOMEWORK ACCOMPLISHED

Now having said all this, it also must be said that there is indeed a time to look out into the world to see the fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

.

But that’s only when the Bible student has done his or her due diligence in comparing all related scriptures to discern the true spiritual fulfillment of each metaphor, and how it relates to the Church, and to the Gospel, and to the war between Heaven and Hell.

.

USMC – Prayer before Bible study – Wikimedia – Public Domain

.

STUDY NOBLE BEREAN, STUDY!

.

Now, both Camping and White viewed Revelation from somewhat different vantage points. But every true Noble Berean is highly encouraged to dig in to “The Great Controversy” and to Harold Camping’s daily radio broadcasts via these devotionals, and begin to prayerfully blend these two teachings together along with this signsofheaven.org ministry, to more fully comprehend what God wants us to understand.

.

And of course, the Bible is the premier Book to study, since it gives us the foundation of truth to confirm or disprove the veracity of all human teachings.

.

And may the Lord give both you and me the grace and desire to devote ourselves to this great task!

THE HOLY GHOST RIDER CONSTELLATION

.

This newest Signs Of Heaven Constellation (Fall, 2013) is by far the faintest of constellations, but is a very incredible and awesome one in a number of ways (which this article will explain).

.

It is primarily comprised of the Camelopardalis Constellation (head and upper back), plus about 5 stars from the Cassiopeia Constellation (his leg), plus some random stars. It appears as an outline of a rider. Only the back of his head is detailed. And his back and the back of his legs are also detailed. Both sides of his arm are visible, and his hand is gripping the horse’s mane, and that is detailed by three stars (which are also part of the horse’s mane). The rider is in a position vaguely similar to a race-horse jockey. The two brightest stars in this constellation, are from the Cassiopeia Constellation, and are part of his leg. All the rest of the stars are very faint, and must be viewed on a very starry night.

.

Since this constellation has just been revealed, there may be more to this constellation in the coming months. But if you can locate the Goodly Horse in Battle Constellation, then you shouldn’t have too much trouble locating this Rider Constellation, provided you have excellent star-watching conditions.

BIBLE VERSES PICTURED IN THE HEAVENS

“With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets: he shall slay thy people by the sword, and thy strong garrisons shall go down to the ground.” Ezekiel 26:12

THIS STAR-CHART: This is a Wikipedia star-chart, in which this site’s editor has sketched in these three constellation (without the Holy-Ghost-Rider Constellation). Notice how the right front hoof is trampling on the tail of the Dragon. Also notice his eye is a star.It’s best seen when in the western half of the sky. It is found in mid-sky traveling from east to west. In January, it is in the west after midnight. As winter progresses, it can be seen earlier and earlier in the evening. a dark sky with good star-visibility is best, but not absolutely necessary to see this constellation. It is found on the opposite side of the Dragon Constellation from Orion. And as already stated, this Goodly Horse Constellation can be seen best in mid-winter when it is in the western side of the sky, and you are looking at it while you are facing west. The nose and head of this horse is partly made from the Perseus Constellation. The tail and rear end is partly of the Cassiopeia Constellation. The hind-leg is made partly of stars from the Andromeda Constellation.

Daily Devotional, Year 3 – December 3 (How Do I Become A Disciple of Jesus?)

By admin On December 23rd, 2017

Today’s Devotional, Year 3, December 3

.

How Do I Become A Disciple of Jesus?

Jesus Calls Disciples – Wikimedia – US Public Domain

.

Jesus is calling out to every man, woman, and child… “go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow Me.” Matthew 19:21

.

This great call has been going out to the world for almost 2,000 years now!

.

And through the ages, there have been many who have responded to this call!

.

.

SOMETHING’S MISSING HERE!

.

But sadly, today’s churches are filled with many who faithfully attend church each week, giving tithes, kneeling for prayer, serving on committees and going through all the motions of being a Christian.

.

And yet, there is something missing. There just doesn’t seem to be the presence of that Holy Fire!

.

Oh yes, we may speak in tongues!

.

We may do our 15 minute Bible study each morning!

.

We may say our prayers!

.

We may hand out religious tracts!

.

Audience hands – cropped and altered image – Wikimedia – Public Domain

.

WORLDLY THOUGHTS

.

But our thoughts are just not on God.

.

Because, as soon as we close our Bible in the morning, we quickly forget about God’s Word, and begin to fill our mind with all the cares and pleasures which the world floods upon us!

.

And we go about our day, pursuing all the things that our selfish heart’s desire! Our careers, our hobbies, our favorite TV shows, our games, our curious books of science, or romance, or travel, or a vast array of other time-consuming, energy-sapping, Spirit-quenching pursuits, all to the neglect of God’s great commission!

.

Yes, we neglect His great commission for His people to purify our hearts and conform our lives into Christ’s glorious image!

.

So what is the problem? Where have we gone astray?

.

“THEY FORSOOK ALL & FOLLOWED HIM”

.

You see, in the Gospel of Luke, is found the account of Jesus calling Peter, John and James and Andrew.

.

When Jesus called those disciples, it is written…“And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed Him.” Luke 5:11.

.

Yes, those disciples totally forsook the pleasures and pursuits of the world, and followed Jesus.

.

.

FORSAKING ALL!

.

Listen… “So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be My disciple!” Luke 14:33

.

This incredible verse from Luke 14:33 reveals the reason why most church-goers never truly become “Born Again”! We have never received the gift of Salvation that would have resulted in our making that total commitment: that “forsaking all”, which is required to follow Jesus as one of His disciples

.

Listen again… “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” Matthew 6:24

.

Prayer – USMC – Wikimedia – US Govt. Public Domain

.

WE ARE DISCIPLES OF JESUS TOO!

Oh well, Christ may not be calling us to literally forsake all our belongings, as did those early disciples!

.

No, but Christ is calling us to forsake the riches of this world in our heart!

.

The heart is where our true change occurs!

.

And though we must work and support our family, and try to provide for their needs and happiness, yet when a man, woman, or child becomes a true disciple of Jesus, God places within our heart, new desires, new aspirations, new goals!

.

Listen… “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” 2nd Corinthians 5:17.

.

This change occurs within our heart!

.

Braet von Überfeldt – Woman with Bible – 1866 – Wikipedia – US Public Domain

.

WE ARE PILGRIMS TOO!

.

“These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.” Hebrews 11:13

.

Yes, when God truly gives us a new heart, we become a changed person! A new creation!

.

Now, instead of pursuing all the old selfish pleasures and aspirations of this fallen world, we instead begin to climb that gently ascending pathway which has long been leading Pilgrims out of this City of Destruction world, onward and upward to that Celestial City of God!

.

Oh yes, we still work and provide for the needs and contentment of our family.

.

But though our feet still touch this terra-not-so-firma, yet our hearts have been translated into the heavenly Throne-Room, where Christ sits at the right hand of God!

.

ABOVE PICTURE: Most Holy Place – Signs Of Heaven

.

TRADING EARTH FOR HEAVEN!

.

And though we may retain our earthly possessions, nevertheless, our new heart can still sing out to all the world, that little praise song…

.

“Turn your eyes upon Jesus, Look full in His wonderful face, And the things of this world will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace!”

.

Yes, as this song reveals, the more intently we focus our eyes upon Jesus, the more that the glittering trinkets of this world will lose their luster!

.

And instead, the treasures of Heaven, the kindness, the patience, the meekness, the wisdom, the purity of heart, the faith, the joy, and the hopeful anticipation of the forever and soon-coming Promised Land, and the Agape Love of Jesus for all Mankind, will daily grow brighter and more precious to the Believer!

.

.

THE PRESCRIPTION FOR VICTORY!

.

And so, My Dear Darling Soul, if I do not possess this kind of relationship with Jesus; if these aforementioned treasures of Heaven seem out of reach; and if I am weary of the selfish, the fickle, and all the loveless disregard that this world has to offer; and if I am heavily burdened with my own sin, then I must take the following prescription which the great Physician prescribes for every sin-sick soul…

.

Listen… “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 4:3, 6, 8-10:

.

As we read this letter by James, God points out our many failings. And until we can read that epistle and not feel condemned by it, we must continue to humble ourselves before God, just as David did, as shown in this old picture.

.

But God even gives us joy in the midst of our sorrowful repentance!

.

David’s sorrow – Wikigallery – Public Domain

.

VICTORY COMES NOT INSTANTLY

.

No, God is too wise to give us instant victory over this world.

.

And we may have to keep praying for Salvation, for weeks, or even many pain-filled months!

.

But in the meanwhile, I can pray for the strength to study my Bible, and to contemplate its life-giving words through my day. And I can begin to turn away from all those things which have interfered with my having a total devotion to Jesus!

.

And I can begin to live a life of seeking after the Lord, as is written… “And ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13

.

Yes, this above verse from Jeremiah is really at the heart of our problem with God. We have allowed the Devil to cast many other stumbling blocks across our pathway, which have intertwined our hearts to this world!

.

But now we must clear away all the rubbish, and make plain and smooth the true pathway to the City of our God!

.

USMC – Prayer before Bible study – Wikimedia – public domain

.

Listen… “The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness,

.

Prepare ye the way of the LORD,

.

make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

.

Every valley shall be exalted,

.

and every mountain and hill shall be made low:

.

and the crooked shall be made straight,

.

and the rough places plain:

.

And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed,

.

and all flesh shall see it together:

.

for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.”

.

Isaiah 40:3-5

.

And so, dear Stranger & Pilgrim! As this passage proclaims, we must get busy making a true and straight and level pathway for our Soon-Coming King!

.

And that pathway is in our own heart!

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’s built-in radar system simply surveys its surroundings and instantly changes 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 armies 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 isn’t true that the pleasures and riches of this world, like the cuttlefish’s strobe-hypnotizer, have a mesmerizing effect upon us?

.

“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 was changed into a seemingly benign and beneficent society to a great degree. Oh yes, there has always been many underlying dangers and evils lurking out there!

“And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon”

Revelation 13:11

.

This nation originally came “up out of the earth”, in the wilderness of North America: an entirely new nation founded to become a safe-haven of refuge for those escaping the long siege by the tyrannical church-state-beast-system during the Dark Ages of Europe.

.

And God gave this fledgling nation a constitution based on the principle of liberty of conscience and freedom of political/religious speech.

.

And this nation, being rich in that which comes from the earth, began to prosper. As a matter of fact, this nation became the source of seemingly every conceivable innovation, which provided the engine for the incredible industrial revolution!

.

And like the proverbial “rocket-ship”, America produced a society like no other in history, soaring to incredible heights, leading other nations to also become veritable cornucopian super-societies!

THE EVENTUAL TRIUMPH OF THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION

.

Any honest-hearted individual will testify that, like none of the other many nations on earth which once engaged in racism/slavery, the USA has labored harder and accomplished more to eradicate racism and achieved equal rights under the law for all people!

.

Our current generation hates the racism of the past centuries, and are ashamed of the fact that a certain percentage of Americans once freely engaged in racist behaviors, back in those days.

.

.

NEO-RACIAL MADNESS NOW RISING UP!

.

But right now, many Americans are confounded and even amazed at the current state of affairs, especially considering how hard this generation strove to undo the evils which often existed in past generations!

.

Virtually all we now see and hear on our high-tech devices, is endless and constant finger-pointing and accusations of racism against various color-groups, one or two more than others!

“…the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness (insanity) is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead”

Ecclesiastes 9:3 (Parenthetical comment by Editor)

.

The rhetoric and anger keep increasing daily!

.

And angry words have escalated into violence!

.

Many schools are now teaching children to mistrust, even despise one-another based on skin-color!

.

Little children are being taught that this nation was built on racism and slavery.

.

Even inanimate objects, trees, highways, higher math, etc., now being declared as “Racist”!

MANY AMERICANS HATED SLAVERY

.

And while a certain percentage of Americans once engaged in slavery, by no means did the vast majority engage in such despicable practices!

.

As a matter of fact, many Americans, especially true Believers, opposed slavery and many fought to end slavery, and eventually outlawed slavery!

“So just what’s happening in today’s ‘crazy’ society!?

Why has the hateful rhetoric increased to insane levels!?”

THE FALSE PROPHET: “TWO HORNS LIKE A LAMB & SPEAKS AS A DRAGON”

.

Well, this article began by revealing that this nation has become the fulfillment of the long-foretold 2nd Beast of Revelation 13:11…The False Prophet with, “two horns like a lamb, and spoke as a dragon”.

.

Yes, even though this nation was founded upon godly principles, it has slowly morphed into an antichrist beast. And America is certainly speaking as the prophesied dragon!

.

Of course, the Book of Revelation reveals the great Dragon to be none other than Satan, also called, The Devil.

ABOVE PICTURE: Satan, The False Prophet who now in these last days destroys the churches via a world-loving prosperity-driven false gospel – www.signsofheaven.org

.

THE DEMONIC MAJOR MEDIA INCITES HATRED

.

And so, it should be no surprise to those who realize these things, that what we are now seeing is that Lamb-like False Prophet, yet speaking like a satanic dragon, as he ratchets up the hate-filled insanity amongst the unsaved general populace, via the major media!

.

**After all, the unsaved man, woman, or child are indwelt by an antichrist spirit, that is, “the spirit which now worketh in the children of disobedience” (Ephesians 2:2, 3).**

.

Yes, this “antichrist…spirit of error”, spoken in 1st John, indwells every unsaved individual and within every unsaved churchgoer. And this is why we are witnessing such a vast tidal-wave of hateful rhetoric, coming at us from the various media, television, radio, Internet, printed-page, etc.. The unsaved world is antichrist in nature.

The Yellow Press by L.M. Glackens

.

“Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it”

Isaiah 13:9

.

And why are all these things happening right now? Simple! It is now officially, the long-foretold, “Day of The Lord”. It is now the grand finale of Satan’s long reign upon Earth. And he has been permitted to bring the entire world into what Revelation 16 refers to as Armageddon…the last battle.

.

And speaking of the end, Jesus said to His disciples…“And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold” Matthew 24:12

.

Yes, prophecy is rapidly fulfilling! And we can now readily see the nations becoming hateful and angry, just as Revelation 11:18 prophesied…“And the nations were angry, and Thy wrath is come”! Political/social/religious unrest is not only confined to America, but exists and thrives, pretty much the world over, in one form or another!

GOD’S CUP OF FURY, WHICH CAUSES MASS INSANITY

.

Listen to this passage concerning the end-times…

“For thus saith the LORD God of Israel unto me (Jeremiah);

Take the wine cup of this fury at My hand,

and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it.

And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad (many versions use the term, “insane”),

because of the sword that I will send among them…

for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth,

saith the LORD of hosts.”

Jeremiah 25:15, 16

.

Here we see that today’s craziness did not take the Lord by surprise. No, just the opposite! God prophesied that the mass-insanity we now witness is the result of God’s fury upon the world (and the apostate church-world).

.

Prophet Jeremiah – www.christianimagesource.org – Public Domain

.

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY”

Proverbs 25:25

.

Well, what’s the Good News, if any?

.

Is there any hope to be found in this hopelessly crazy, confused, and angry world?

.

Yes, yes, yes!!! There is much hope for any man, woman, or child, who realizes that the only escape route out of this pandemic madness is to renounce this present world, and begin the upward journey out of this “City of Destruction” (as John Bunyan called it in Pilgrim’s Progress), and continues onward and upward to “The Celestial City of God” (also named in that same book)!

.

And when we all get there, we will be delighted to discover a world in which true brotherly love reigns supreme! And there will be no cracks in the bells of liberty which ring daily in that Promised Land (The New Heaven and New Earth)!

.

And there we will live forevermore!

.

Forever happy…

.

forever peace-filled…

.

and forever young!

LOCATING THIS CONSTELLATION GROUP…

*“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 Mountain Constellation Group

Look eastward in the early summer through fall. Find the Cassiopeia Constellation. Cassiopeia is the Mount of Blessing. In this sketch, it is the farthest mountain to the left. In the sky, it is the northernmost of these three mountains when facing eastward. It somewhat resembles a pyramid, as do the other two.

.

Then find the second 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).

.

THE VALLEY OF DECISION CONSTELLATION GROUP.

Valley of Decision & O Destroying Mtn. Constellations

.

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) and Pegasus (Mount of Cursing (middle mount) and the “Destroying Mountain” (right)), and Pisces (“The 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, these 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.)

Daily Devotional, Year 3 – December 1 (Get On-Board the Ark!)

By admin On December 21st, 2017

.

Daily Devotional, Year 3 – December 1

.

Get On-Board the Ark!

.

A certain little boy did not like to clean up his own bedroom. And his mother tried and tried to get him to clean it up. But the little boy didn’t want to do it.

.

Well, finally the day arrived when the mother decided it was time to let the little boy live in his own squalor! And so, she just closed his bedroom door and let him live in the world of his own making!

.

.

“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”

Isaiah 5:20

.

And speaking of living in squalor, what in the world is going on today!?!

.

Yes, the world seems to be going crazy! Things are now topsy-turvy! Good is now being called evil, and evil, good!

.

So, what in the world is going on!?!

.

Well, perhaps this next verse reveals what is going on… “And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.” Matthew 24:12

.

Yes, this verse explains a lot! It’s definitely a prophecy concerning today’s current state of affairs! Iniquity certainly is abounding, wouldn’t you agree?

.

And yet, it still doesn’t explain why God is allowing all this pandemic mayhem to occur.

.

.

GOD’S WRATH: LIVING IN OUR OWN SQUALOR

.

So why is God allowing all the current evil in the world?

.

Listen… “For the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven

.

***against all ungodliness and* *unrighteousness of men,***

.

who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

.

Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness

.

through the lusts of their own hearts,

.

*to dishonour t**heir own bodies between themselves:*”

Romans 1:18, 24, 25

.

So, here’s the reason why God is letting us have this Helter-Skelter world we currently live in!

.

But no, this societal collapse will not bring about God’s wrath! This IS God’s wrath!

.

**But God is merely allowing Earth’s inhabitants to have our own way! He has, in essence, “closed the bedroom door”, and is allowing us to live in the world of our own making!**

.

.

GOVERNMENT GONE WILD!

.

But what about our government’s inability to operate on a budget, and is printing money and borrowing in order to stay afloat? Is this also God’s judgment?

.

And what about our government allowing the courts to ignore the rule of law, and purposely breaking the law in many different areas of society?

.

**And the current two-tiered law enforcement system which persecutes those who possess “the wrong” political views?**

.

And what about false religion rising to power in these nations which once embraced the Christian Reformation? What’s going on!?!

.

Listen… “so shall the LORD bring upon you all evil things, until He have destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.” Joshua 23:15

.

So yes, what we are seeing today in today’s world, are the judgments of God against sin-loving societies!

.

Thanksgiving – Brascome – Wikipedia – Public Domain

.

CHURCHES ALSO GONE WILD?

.

Are God’s judgments the reason why the churches are beginning to accept the same immorality that we see in society?

.

Is this why the secular atheists are now indoctrinating our children into the same sins which are prevalent in society?

.

And is this why God has given us over to the itching-ear prosperity-driven gospels which now are being preached in today’s churches?

.

Listen… “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” 2nd Timothy 4:3, 4

.

Yes, this passage speaks of the time when God’s wrath is poured out upon His churches, leaving them destitute of His Spirit. And of course, the result is that the itching ears will prevail in what is being taught in place of sound doctrine!

.

.

HABAKKUK SAYS “RUN”!

.

So, what are we to do about all this situation? Where can we flee? How do we escape the great wrath of God, which He is now pouring out on this and other former Christian nations?

.

Listen… “Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth… And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.” Habakkuk 1:4 & 2:2

.

So, this abbreviated passage by the Prophet, Habakkuk, spells out the problem, as well as the solution. The problem, as most of us are aware, is that we have been overrun by Chaldeans (unbelievers in the world and “make-believers” in the churches).

.

PICTURE – Constellation- Woman of Revelation 12 flees to the mountains Mark 13:14 This is not a star-chart, but merely a concept picture, but made up of real constellations (Ursa Major & Auriga, Hyades, etc…, howbeit not in their actual positions in the night-sky)

.

“…ASSEMBLING OF OURSELVES TOGETHER…”

But we have a problem! God tells us that we should not… “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.” Hebrews 10:25

.

Church Attendance – www.thebiblerevival.com – Public Domain

.

AS WE SEE WHAT DAY APPROACHING?

.

So, we cannot flee! After all, we are to be, “not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.”

.

But wait a minute! It says we are to do this all the more “as we see the day approaching!”

.

And so, the question is, “As we see WHAT day approaching?”

.

.

“FLEE TO THE MOUNTAINS!”

.

Listen… “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 24:15-18

.

So, this is the day that we will see approaching!

.

And this very day will be the hour that we must flee!

.

.

ARK DOOR STILL OPEN!

.

And this is the Good News!

.

Oh yes, God’s judgments are now beginning to fall all around us!

.

But God has provided a place of refuge and safety for us and our children!

.

And God has written a great sign in the heavens of the Revelation 12 Woman fleeing from the Revelation 12 Dragon!

.

And in that heavenly scenario is a picture of the place of refuge, in which the woman is fleeing!

.

The Narrow Gate! This is where we must flee!

.

The Narrow Gate!

CASTOR AND POLLUX

.

“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

.

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)

.

IN THE WEST

.

This most amazing phenomenon is seen throughout the winter, and even into June at the beginning of night. It is seen best when it is the western part of the sky. Orion, the Dragon, and the Glorious Horse are beginning to descend into the western horizon. And at this point it is apparent that the Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation is veering toward the Narrow Gate Stars as you can see just to the left of the mountain. A dark night is best for seeing this. It begins with the Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation going towards these two doors. The 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 (to the right of the mountain) are the two brightest stars of the Wave of Water (AKA Auriga Constellation) 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 one-third less the width of the Wide Gate. The two bright stars which symbolize the Wide Gate are Capella and Menkalinan. These are the brightest two stars of the Auriga Constellation. (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. But they are close enough to find them in the night sky.

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – October 1

.

.

And He Spake as a Dragon!

.

Part 1

“Internet: The Ultimate Great Tribulation Weapon!”

.

.

.

.

.

.

“And I beheld another beast

coming up out of the earth;

and he had two horns like a lamb,

and he spake as a dragon.“

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

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 a similar 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 armies 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 isn’t true that the pleasures and riches of this world, like the cuttlefish’s strobe-hypnotizer, have a mesmerizing effect upon us, just like this above little video reveals?

.

.

.

.

.

“THE KISSES OF AN ENEMY ARE DECEITFUL!”

.

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

.

Yes, like that incredible impostor, this world was changed into a seemingly benign and beneficent society to a great degree. Oh yes, there has always been many underlying dangers and evils lurking out there!

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

“And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.“

.

This second Beast of Revelation 13 speaks of this current-day phenomenon in which the media goliaths have become totally satanic, foisting the most hideous and evil antichrist ideologies upon the world.

.

From totalitarianism, to antichrist-atheism, to immorality, to murder of the unborn, to persecution/murder of Jews/Christians/moralists (conservatives), to sodomy and child-mutilation, to racial hatred, to bullying in various forms, etc., the media has become the mouthpiece of Satan.

.

Yes, the media has devolved so greatly into a snake-pit of lies, corruption, hypocrisy, cover-ups and the like, to the degree that they have lost any sense of honor, decency, or honesty.

.

.
