“Faithful are the wounds of a friend;

but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.”

Proverbs 27:6 

.

.

.

.

.

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

.

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

.

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

CUTTLEFISH: THE ULTIMATE IMPOSTORS!

.

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

.

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

.

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

CUTTLEFISH: SYMBOL OF SATAN

.

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

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

.

Certainly, Satan and his unseen minions also love to make themselves invisible, and then, mesmerize their prey with the allurements of sin, rendering them helpless and hopeless victims! And this is how they work their misery and woe upon this unsuspecting world, without its inhabitants becoming alarmed, which would cause us to rebel against Satan’s invisible kingdom, as we would flee to God!

 A “FEEL-GOOD” MOVIE

.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Madworldposter.jpg

Now, back in the 1960’s, a wacky comedy was created, which became a big hit movie on the “silver screens” around the world…“It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World!”

.

Well, this carefree comedy was a great way of escaping the oft-grim realities of this truly, “Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World”, for several hours!

.

And in this respect, that “feel-good” Hollywood movie makes a somewhat appropriate introduction to today’s devotional…

“THE KISSES OF AN ENEMY ARE DECEITFUL!”

Proverbs 27:6

.

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

.http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:GiantCuttlefish6.jpg

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

.

But just look around at all the smiling faces on so many people! Why, it just seems as if this is such a happy-go-lucky world, to a great degree!

.

And it’s just about impossible to watch television without seeing laughter, and joking, and smiles galore! And you could possibly say, “In spite of the bad stuff, it’s still a ‘glad, glad, glad, glad world!'”

“THEY (FALSE PROPHETS)…SAYING ‘PEACE, PEACE’, WHEN THERE IS NO PEACE”

Jeremiah 8:10

.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Martin,_John_-_Satan_presiding_at_the_Infernal_Council_-_1824.JPGBut don’t be fooled O Stranger & Pilgrim!

.

Much of this smiley-faced gladness is just an integral part of Satan’s warfare against Heaven!

.

After all, if Satan can make his kingdom seem more appealing than Christ’s kingdom, then, this gives him a great and deceptive advantage, leading to eventual victory!

“THE WHOLE WORLD LIES IN WICKEDNESS”

.

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cuttlefish_-_Sepia_prashadi.jpgListen to 1st John’s analysis of this Cuttlefish world…“And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.” 1st John 5:19

.

Yes, the whole world lies in wickedness!

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:NOMG01ThankGodForSatan.jpg

.

And yet, Satan fully understands that he must put a happy face on it, for fear of losing his tight grip on the world’s citizens!

.

Conversely, it is Satan’s goal to put the worst possible face on true Christianity.

.

And so, he not only raises up counterfeit brethren to make Christianity look bad to the general public; but he likewise makes life as miserable as possible for true Christians, so as to hopefully put a sad, and discouraged face on them!

.

As a matter of fact, if “the god of this world” were to withdraw all of his deceptive and mesmerizing “Cuttlefish goodness”, the people of the world would begin to show their genuine wickedness, and Christians would be quickly exterminated! (Oh yes, they probably would be tortured first, as was sometimes done to them through the Dark Ages in Europe).

.

So, this devotional is a warning for Christians to get themselves ready for the moment when this world takes on its true “Cuttlefish” wickedness and comes at Christians with all the venomous hatred that Satan truly has for us!

CASTOR AND POLLU& THE NARROW WAY…

.

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

.

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

.

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

.

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

.

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

LOCATING THIS GROUP…

.

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