Today’s Devotional – February 26th

.

“The Thought Police Have Finally Arrived!”

(Also read, “Here Come The Totalitarians” at page bottom)

.

In George Orwell’s little book, 1984, he presented a world in which the rulers had succeeded in complete totalitarian control over the masses. There were even “Thought Police” to control the people’s thoughts.

.

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 35 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 “2018”!

.

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 of.

THE NEW LAWS JUST LIKE THE OLD LAWS

.

Just like in every totalitarian society, past and present, the new thought police are beginning their war against the Bible.

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.

.

.

“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)

.

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 REVELATION 12 DRAGON & THE PLEIADES (THE HARLOT & CAPTIVE ANGEL CONSTELLATION)***

Revelation 12 Dragon

“And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her (Babylon), my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” Revelation 18:4

The story of the Levite and his Concubine is a concept which God has written in the Stars. You see, the Revelation 12 Dragon is a picture of Satan and his armies. But if you look closely at the tip of his tail, you will notice that it is made of a cluster of Stars known as The Pleiades.

pleiades_gendler-e1358291561622

.

This cluster is in the shape of the tip of a lion’s tail. But if you look closer (looking with telescope or looking just at photos) you see that The Pleiades looks like a woman (photo to right). On one hand it appears as a harlot, riding a beast with a wine-cup in her hand. But then, if you step back you will see this same constellation. God has a people in Babylon. Yes, Mystery Babylon is the Mother of Harlots. The sketch to the below left, shows her riding this beast with 7 heads and 10 horns.

.

GOD YET HAS A PEOPLE IN BABYLON

The Pleiades: Mystery Babylon: Mother of Harlots

.

But in that spiritual city, Babylon, there are those who love God. And before the final plagues are poured out upon her, God will call His people out of this spiritual city, Babylon, represented by this harlot… “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her (Babylon), my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” Revelation 18:4

.

And so in addition to The Pleiades appearing as the Mother of Harlots, we also see this second depiction of The Pleiades as an angel, which symbolizes God’s people (see picture below, right). They must be called out of spiritual harlot city, Babylon (picture to left).

.

THE CAPTIVE ANGEL IN PLEIADES

.

And so the story of this concubine from Judges 19, who played the whore, but at the end she came back, only to die, clinging to the threshold of the door; this is the same portrait which The Pleiades presents. That is, this Pleiades Constellation presents a picture of the Church, portrayed as a harlot, but also as an angel taken captive.

.

THE DAWNING OF THE DAY

.

But the story of this concubine has a climactic moment of truth, as this concubine returns to the door, following the night of her being abused. And this dramatic moment happens at the dawning of the Day. Listen… “Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man’s house where her lord was, till it was light. And her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way: and, behold, the woman his concubine was fallen down at the door of the house, AND HER HANDS WERE UPON THE THRESHOLD.” Judges 19:26, 27.

ARTICLE #2

“Here Come The Totalitarians”

.

**Many of those who have bought into this unbiblical church-doctrine, “The Pre-Tribulation Rapture”, must be getting very nervous at this point in time!**

THE PRE-TRIB RAPTURE: DARBY & SCOFIELD’S FOLLY!

.

Yes, the master-deceiver, Satan, has successfully lulled the bulk of mainstream Christians into a false sense of security, saying, “Don’t worry, be happy! You’ll be long gone when all Hell breaks loose in the world!”

.

But the Bible prophesied about such false teachers…“For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.” 1st Thessalonians 5:3

.

Yes, Satan is working though many false shepherds “to deceive if possible, even the very elect!” Mark 13:22

.

“O My people, they which lead thee cause thee to err”

Isaiah 3:12

.

And so, when we see all the crazy stuff going on, and all the frightening paradigm shifts taking place right now in society, this must make a lot of sincere churchgoers sit up and nervously ask the question…“Am I really going to get raptured out of here, before ‘all Hell’ breaks loose? Or have I been deceived by my teachers, because it sure looks like ‘all Hell’ is already beginning to break out!?”

.

God has warned us that the deceptions would be so close to truth, that Satan would, “if possible, deceive even the very Elect!” (See Matthew 24:24 & Mark 13:22)

“They shall come all for violence”

Habakkuk 1:9

.

Yes, it appears as if Satan and his vast armies are now on the march! And it seems as if he is rapidly morphing society into a brand-new totalitarian world-system!

.

Multitudes are gnashing on their teeth against anyone else who opposes their totalitarian ideals about what they want this society to morph into. And their angry rhetoric is getting louder. And even a few of them are beginning to physically assault those who stand in their way and assault those who protest against their fascist-like ideals.

“And judgment is turned away backward”

Isaiah 59:14

.

And even in our court system, some activist judges are turning a blind eye to truth and justice, handing down wrong decisions, according to their own personal social/political biases.

.

And the following verse literally foretold of this very day of unjust laws…“And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter…” Isaiah 59:14

.

Yes, less and less are Christians able to depend on today’s court system to render them justice: society is becoming more and more bigoted and biased against all those who oppose the current-day so-called political/social correctness!

“And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark…”

Revelation 13:17

.

And even the private business giants are beginning to capitulate to this growing totalitarianism, realizing that they must “get on board” or suffer the consequences!

.

And so, in order to appease the loud totalitarian voices, many banks and corporations are now beginning to cut off the ability for certain dissenters to buy or sell.

“…that bitter…nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land”

Habakkuk 1:6

.

It’s frightening and unbelievable to behold the growing movement in which a great portion of the secular society and their leadership are calling for the silencing of all those who hold to different beliefs and values! And it’s even more remarkable that such a large percentage of the general populace are so willing and eager to vote for those who will stamp out freedom of speech!

.

Just listen to their drumbeats as they get louder and more hateful and increasingly militant against their supposed political and religious enemies!

.

It makes us very nervous when we hear protesters chant their anti-Christian mantra…“BRING BACK THE LIONS! BRING BACK THE LIONS!”

Revelation, Chapter 13, long foretold that this end-time totalitarian takeover would eventually happen…“And he (the false Prophet) causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 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 13:16, 17

.

This above passage speaks of a totalitarian society in which “no man might buy or sell, unless he has the mark, or the name of the Beast, or the number of his name”.

.

Well, it looks as if that day is just over the horizon, or perhaps has already begun!

.

“Buy the truth, and sell it not”

Proverbs 23:23

.

**Now. let it be stated that many Bible teachers and students have held to the belief that “buying and selling” has to do with the cutting off of all preaching of the true Gospel of Jesus Christ.**

.

But many more believe that this passage refers to the actual inability to purchase or sell food, clothing, housing, etc…

.

The fact is, both schools of thought are probably correct. In other words, the true Gospel will probably be censored in the near future. But also, those Christians who stand firm against the wiles of the Devil, will find it all but impossible to buy or sell in the marketplace.
