The Sign Of The Son Of Man In Heaven,
.
Part 1:
“Why Do We Hate Jesus?”
.
.
.
.
.
.
“The world cannot hate you;
but Me it hateth,
because I testify of it,
that the works thereof are evil.”
John 7:7
.
.
.
.
.
Encircling this entire globe is a great sign in Heaven! Without a doubt, the greatest of all signs! (This picture is the straightened-out version, while this massive constellation actually curves completely around the globe!)
.
One reason why it is so great is because it is so vast, encompassing both the summer and winter skies!
And it is comprised of most all the signs revealed on this website.
.
It is called, “The Sign of the Son of Man in Heaven Constellation”, even as it is revealed in Matthew 24:30…
.
“And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven:
.
and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn,
.
and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven
.
with power and great glory.”
.
Yes, here is the most remarkable of all signs in heaven!
.
.
.
.
.
GRAND MASTER LEVEL
.
But to really see this sign requires the stargazer to achieve a “grand-master status”, so to speak, in the Signs Of Heaven. (Well, perhaps that earthly title is not such an appropriate term.)
.
Nevertheless, to see this great constellation first requires one to become fully familiar with all the other signs revealed on these two websites (www.devouringfire.com and www.theheavensdeclare.net)
.
But once the reader does achieve (or rather, “receive”) a thorough familiarity with all these other signs, then that Reader can go out and see the granddaddy of all signs, “The Sign of the Son of Man in Heaven Constellation”!
(There is, however one other great sign which has not yet been revealed, because of its complexity, called the “Holy Ghostly-Priest Constellation”)

“THEY HAVE REWARDED ME…HATRED FOR MY LOVE”
Psalm 109:5
.
But anyway, just what does this heavenly phenomenon have to do with today’s devotional?
.
Well, simply put, today’s article asks the question, “Why did the world (us) put Jesus on the Cross?”
.
Yes, we’re all responsible for putting Jesus on the Cross!
.
But why? Why did we do it?
.
Well, the ugly truth is, we did it out of pure hatred!
.
.
.
.
.
.
“THE WORKS THEREOF ARE EVIL”
.
But just why did we hate Jesus so much?
But just why did we hate Jesus so much?.
Listen to the words which Jesus spoke to His then unsaved brothers…
“The world cannot hate you; but Me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.” John 7:7
.
Here we have it! We hated Jesus because He criticized our beloved world!
After all, this world is not Jesus’ world.
No, it was handed over to Lucifer, who now carries the title, “The Devil”, and “Satan”.
.
Yes, as it is written…
“all that is in this world,
the lust of the flesh,
the lust of the eyes,
and the pride of life
is not of the Father, but is of the world”
(see 1st John 2:15-17)

A WORLD IN HOPELESS UNBELIEF
.
Now of course, we need to “cut a little slack”, as they say, for the people of this unbelieving world.
After all, the people of this world are enshrouded in spiritual darkness and unbelief!
They do not believe that there actually exists an alternative to their world.
All their hope is in this world, even as miserable and hopeless as it is!
They have “no hope, and without God in the world”! (Ephesians 2:12)
.
And let’s face it! Many (or perhaps most) young people feel as if they “have this world by the tail”!
Death seems so far off to them. And so, they love this selfish world, and say within themselves, “Why should I give up all the many pleasures and ambitious pursuits that this world has to offer, for some far off, ‘pie in the sky’ fable?
I’ll just worry about all that dying stuff much later, maybe in 50 or 60 years from now!”
.
Well, that’s pretty much how the world views all this, “Jesus stuff”!

“IF ANY MAN LOVE THE WORLD, THE LOVE OF THE FATHER IS NOT IN HIM”
1st John 2:15-17
.
And so, when Jesus showed up and condemned this world, the world, in all its hopeless and abject unbelief, didn’t want to hear all that criticism and negativity from Jesus!
.
And eventually, they put Jesus on the cruel Cross of Calvary in hopes of forever silencing Him.
.
.
.
.
.
.
“A FRIEND OF THE WORLD IS THE ENEMY OF GOD”
James 4:4
.
But what about Christians? We now love Jesus, don’t we? Oh yes, when we were lost out there, back in the world, we hated Him.
.
But now we love Him!
.
Oh, do we really love Him?
.
Listen to God’s assessment of His very own professed people…
“for with their mouth they show much love,
but their heart goeth after their covetousness.”
Ezekiel 33:31
.
Here is revealed what God sees when examining our hearts: we profess to love Jesus, but in reality, we love the Devil.
.
.
.
.
.
TO LOVE THIS WORLD IS TO LOVE THE GOD OF THIS WORLD
.
“Now how could I ever be accused of loving the Devil?
That’s a ridiculous idea!
That’s a totally absurd notion!
I love my Jesus!”
.
You see, what we really need to understand is that Satan is called, “the god of this world” (2nd Corinthians 4:4).
And as such, he has filled this world with tokens of his selfish character.
.
In other words, this world is a reflection of Satan’s evil.
Yes, all that is in world, our little daily morsels, our selfish entertainments, our proud, ambitious attainments, and our fleshly desires are not from God, but are of this, the Devil’s world!
.
And the very fact that we still pursue these selfish attributes, reveals just who our first love truly is!

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY”
.
Well, in spite of all this negativity, there is a bright rainbow of promise!
.
And that bright promise is found in God’s willingness to transform us into His glorious image!
.
In other words, as Malachi 3:3 reveals…
“And He (God) shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver:
and He shall purify the sons of Levi,
and purge them as gold and silver,
that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.”
.
Here we have the essence of God’s love for us: the reconciliation of His people back into His image, the Holy Image we discarded long ago in the garden.
.
And the essence of our love for Jesus, is to patiently allow Him to complete this purification process in us even though it may often be quite painful!
.
.
.
.
.
.
“PURIFIETH HIMSELF, EVEN AS HE (JESUS) IS PURE”
.
Yes, if we are willing to allow Jesus to begin to purify our hearts, He will, day-by-day, purge out all the world-loving dross which dwells within our deceitful hearts, and magnify a brand new heart within us, even the very heart of Jesus!
.
And once this is accomplished, all of our love for this world and for the god of this selfish and evil world will be totally and forever eradicated from our heart!
Then our hatred for Jesus will be transformed into pure love! Love for Jesus, and love for His people.
And even a great love for all those lost souls who are in desperate need of Christ’s Salvation!

TODAY’S FEATURED SIGN
.
.
.
“Immediately after the tribulation of those days
shall the sun be darkened,
and the moon shall not give her light,
and the stars shall fall from heaven,
and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven…”
Matthew 24:29, 3o

SIGN OF THE SON OF MAN IN HEAVEN
.
In 2012, this constellation was revealed. It is comprised of all the other constellations on this website, as they appear in the night-sky.
The only way to really see this constellation, is to become very totally familiar with this website.
This is because this incredible constellation spans both the summer and winter skies.
This constellation is actually in a semi-circle, as it appears in the night-sky.
These pictures, however, show it as it would appear straightened out.
It spans both summer skies and winter skies, so that only lower-half appears in summer and the upper-half appears in winter.
