The Great Babylonian Dream-Machine! Part 2: “Pursuing My Dreams!”

To read Part 1, click here…May 6 (The Great Babylonian Dream-Machine!)

.

.

.

.

.

“For a dream cometh through the multitude of business;”

Ecclesiastes 5:3

.

.

.

.

.

. 

Some months ago, a Christian woman from a conservative church made the following comment… “God wants us to pursue our dreams!”

.

Now she did not elaborate just what dreams we should be pursuing.

.

But it sure is an interesting statement for a professed Christian to make, wouldn’t you agree?

WHAT DREAMS SHOULD I PURSUE?

 .

And this raises a very interesting question: “Just what dreams should I be pursuing?”

.

After all, there are many dreams to pursue in this life. Some pursue money and material possessions. Some pursue fame and fortune. Some pursue hobbies and sports. Some merely want a peaceful life and a cottage on a little green acre. Others want a high-paying career and all the accompanying amenities. Some dream of romance.

.

Yes, this world offers many dreams that one can pursue.

THE DREAMS OF A CHRISTIAN

.

But what about the Christian? What dreams should the child of God pursue?

.

Shouldn’t the greatest dream of the Christian be to meet the Lord in peace? And this would necessitate a sanctified life of holiness, wouldn’t it?…

.

Listen to Paul… “Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,” Philippians 3:8

.

Here above, Paul made clear just what his dream was: to win Christ.

.

.

.

.

.

.

DIDN’T PAUL HAVE CHRIST ALREADY?

.

But many will say, “Well why would Paul want to win Christ? Didn’t Paul already have Christ?”

.

Listen as Paul continues… “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:13, 14

.

So Paul did not consider himself to have apprehended Christ.

.

But he pursued Christ as though he had not yet obtained Christ.

.

.

.

THE DREAM OF HEAVEN FOR MY LOVED ONES

.

But what other dreams  should the Christian pursue?

.

Well, wouldn’t the greatest dream for a Christian be, to see his or her children (and grandchildren) walking those heavenly streets of gold someday?

.

Yes, each and every day, the Christian cries out for the Salvation of his or her family! And not just for our children, but for our parents and friends too!

.

Yes, God has called us to be ambassadors for Christ!

.

And He has elected us to be priests, crying out on behalf of all those around us!

THE DREAM OF BEING FILLED WITH CHRIST’S FULLNESS

.

And so, are there still any other dreams that the Christian should pursue?

.

Well, isn’t our great hope to become Christlike in every way?

.

To be filled with His goodness?

.

To be filled with His love?

.

To walk in His holiness?

.

Listen…“He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked.” 1st John 2:5, 6

.

So to walk as He walked. This is also the Christian’s dream!

.

.

.

FORSAKING ALL, A MUST!

.

Now unfortunately, most churches today teach that the Christian can have Heaven and still pursue earthly dreams. But the Bible calls that kind of thinking, “double-minded”…

.

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

.

Most churches don’t really believe this statement by Jesus. But Paul believed it!

.

Listen again to Paul…“Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,” Philippians 3:8

.

.

.

.

.

“CONTENT WITH SUCH THINGS AS YE HAVE”

Hebrews 13:5

.

“Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,” Philippians 3:8

.

Now is Paul saying here that we cannot own anything? Furniture? A car? A house?

.

Of course not! What Paul is merely warning us against, is the danger of becoming materialistic.

.

Yes, we live in a very materialistic world.

.

The whole world is going after the lusts of the flesh, the lusts of the eyes, and the many proud pursuits and careers.

.

CALLED OUT OF THE WORLD

.

But Christ has called us out of the world, to become strangers and pilgrims on an upward heavenward sojourn!

.

And Paul agrees with this by saying…“For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.” 1st Timothy 6:7, 8

.

OK, so Paul tells us to be content with food and covering.

.

And yet, the Church for the most part ignores Paul’s admonition, and continues to accumulate needless possessions and proud attainments.

.

.

WHICH WORLD WILL YOU CHOOSE?

.

The fact is, there isn’t enough time to pursue this world and Heaven too!

.

And there isn’t enough room in the heart for both worlds to co-exist! We must each choose which world we are going to live for! Heaven or Hell (this world)! We just cannot live for both!

.

And if we are going to save our family, we cannot expect to have a divided heart.

.

A heart divided cannot stand! It will certainly fall!

.

But to win Heaven for our loved ones will require all the heart, soul, mind and strength!

.

Nothing less will do!

.

This world is the battlefield for the souls of men!

.

.

.

.

.

TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS!

.

Well, the Good News is, that this is still the day of Salvation. And in an instant, the Christian can repent and turn away from the pursuit of earthly Mammon (the pleasures and riches of this selfish world). And there is no need to immediately trash all our belongings!

.

No, it’s like that old song… “Turn your eyes upon Jesus. Look full in His wonderful face! And the things of the world will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace!”

.

Yes, when we lift up our heads heavenward, the things of the world begin to lose their luster! The brightness of Jesus makes this world look dark and drab by comparison!

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN

.

THE NARROW & WIDE GATE STARS

.

This most amazing phenomenon is seen throughout the winter.

.

.

Although it can be observed most of the winter, it is seen best when it is the western part of the sky, at winter’s end (The end of winter being the final scene of this heavenly Gospel story). Orion , the Dragon, and the Glorious White Horse are beginning to descend into the western horizon (sketch to right is Winter Constellations descending into western horizon. This can actually be seen as early as December, in the pre-dawn hours).

.

And at this point it is apparent that the Fleeing Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation  is veering toward the two bright stars, known as Castor and Pollux (sketch to below left). But the Wide Gate Stars are composed of the two brightest stars of the Auriga Constellation, known as the star, Capella, and the star, Menkalinan. The two stars, Castor and Pollux, make up the concept of the Orion’s Narrow Gate Stars.

.

This can even be observed into June in the western sky (for a short time just after dark). While a dark night is best for seeing the Woman Constellation, the 4 stars which comprise the Narrow Gate/Wide Gate Stars can be seen even under mediocre conditions. It begins with the Fleeing Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation (AKA Ursa Major) going towards these two doors.

.

The sketch to left shows, the two 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 are the two brightest stars of the wave of water 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 half the width of the Wide Gate (see sketch to right).

.

 

.

 

(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. However, they are close enough to find them in the night sky. But as with most stars, it takes persistence to finally locate them.

Most Misquoted Bible Verse Award!

.

.

.

.

.

Every year, the movie industry presents awards for the best movies produced that year.

.

This has been going on since 1929.

.

And in these awards, various aspects of movie production are also given awards. 

.

Now this gala event gets plenty of promotion and publicity, so that it is a highly anticipated celebration of the movie industry!

.

MOST MIS-QUOTED BIBLE VERSE AWARD!

.

But this is not the reason for bringing up this subject.

.

No, the reason for even mentioning this, is to suggest that Christendom perhaps, should have its own award presentation.

.

Yes, and one of the awards might be for the following category: “The Most Mis-quoted Bible Verse.”

.

.

.

.

.

.

So, just what verse would you nominate, as the most mis-quoted Bible verse?

.

Question Mark – Wikimedia – Public Domain

.

.

.

.

.

THE WINNER! 2nd CORINTHIANS 5:8!

.

How about this verse, a statement by Paul… “To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord”? 

.

Yes, this verse is perhaps the most mis-quoted of all Bible verses!

.

Have you ever heard this verse accurately quoted by a Bible teacher?

.

Because actually, the correct quote is…

…”We are confident, I say,

and willing rather to be absent from the body,

and to be present with the Lord.”

2nd Corinthians 5:8

.

.

.

.

.

.

But why?

.

Why do they always seem to mis-quote this verse?

Question Mark – Wikimedia – Public Domain

.

.

.

.

.

.

PUSHING CHURCH DOCTRINES

.

The answer is simple!

.

It is because the correct Bible verse quote does not confirm what Bible teachers are trying to hold on to.

.

Yes, the great long-held traditional understanding in Christendom is that a Christian goes IMMEDIATELY and CONSCIOUSLY to Heaven!

.

But the problem is, there is no verse in the Bible which makes that exact statement. 

.

.

.

.

.

2nd Corinthians 5:8…NOT Proof!

.

Now, you can hardly blame these modern-day teachers for mis-quoting this verse to support their church-doctrine. 

.

For example, the following statement, “I would rather be absent from the South Pole, and present in Hawaii”, does not necessarily prove that absence from the South Pole requires one to be in Hawaii.

.

No, it simply means you’d rather be out of one place and present in the other place, even if it requires traveling time. 

.

.

WHAT DOES THE GREEK SAY?

.

As a matter of fact, Green’s Interlinear Greek/English New Testament translates this verse as follows…

…”we are fully assured, then,

and are pleased rather to go away from home out of the body,

and to come home to the Lord.”

.

And so, according to Green’s Interlinear Greek/English actually demands an intermittent traveling time between death and Heaven!

.

.

HONESTY MORE IMPORTANT THAN DOCTRINE

.

Now this daily devotional is not so concerned as to whether or not Christians actually go straight to a conscious existence in Heaven when they die.

.

And yes, there indeed are a number of verses which might seemingly suggest that Christians go straight to a conscious existence in Heaven, the moment of death.

.

But on the other hand, there are far more verses suggesting that Christians remain in an UN-conscious state of being, until they are resurrected on the Last Day!

.

.

“…but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembles at My word.”

Isaiah 66:2

.

And so, the real point of today’s devotional is not to prove one school of thought or the other, concerning this question.

.

But the point of today’s devotional is to ask the questions… 

.

“Why not just quote this verse correctly?

.

Why is it so important to prove one’s own personal interpretation?

.

Why not just quote this verse correctly, and “let the chips fall where they may”, as the saying goes?”

WRESTLING WITH SCRIPTURE

.

“As also in all (Paul’s) epistles,

speaking in them of these things;

in which are some things hard to be understood,

which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest,

as they do also the other scriptures,

unto their own destruction.”

2nd Peter 3:16

.

God has purposely made “some things hard to be understood”, as this above passage reveals! God has purposely written the Bible as a test for us.

.

And so, it is far more important to be totally honest and forthright, than it is to convince others of my own personal prejudice on what the Bible says! 

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

POLITICS & PERSONAL PREJUDICE

.

But really, why get so dogmatic about it? Why not just say, “I don’t know”? or to say, “There are two schools of thought on this topic”.

.

Either way, it will seem like we close our eyes in death, and open them up, in the twinkling of an eye! 

.

Yes, the Academy Awards is not the only presentation corrupted by politics and prejudices!

.

Bible teaching presentations are also quite often tainted by the same politics and personal prejudices!

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY!”

Proverbs 25:25

.

The very good news is, that God is graciously granting us the opportunity to make any necessary changes in the way we teach others!

.

And so, we all just need to back up, and ask God to help us correct these errors, while we’re still in the Day of Grace!

“THE SIGN OF THE SON OF MAN IN HEAVEN”

.

.

LOOSING THE BANDS OF ORION 

.

God spoke several times of Orion, in Scripture. His question to Job was a very mystifying question, to say the least… “Canst thou…loose the bands of Orion?” Job 38:31. 

.

Such a strange question, indeed! How could a constellation have its bands loosed, much less, even have bands? Puzzling, puzzling!

.

But now, He is revealing this bright and beautiful constellation in a way that has never before been seen.

.

God Himself will “loose the bands of Orion”, as He is just now unraveling this age-old mystery.

.

And we are beginning to understand that this most notable of all constellations is nothing less than a remarkable metaphor concerning Jesus.

A HEAVENLY HOBBY

.

.

.

.

“Lift up your eyes on high,

and behold Who hath created these things;

that brings out their host by number:

He calls them all by names

by the greatness of His might,

for that He is strong in power;

not one faileth.”

Isaiah 40:26

.

.

.

.

The above verse is a plea from God to look up at the Heavens and behold Who has created these things.

.

In this busy work-a-day world, there are many very interesting things which can occupy one’s time and energy: hobbies, and careers, and entertainments and worries, and habits, to name just a few.

.

But as the child of God devotes his or her life to God, there should be a jealous guarding of one’s own heart… “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” Proverbs 4:23.

.                                                                                                                                                                                 

The Christian wants nothing to get in the way of running that Christian Race.

“AND WHEN YE SEE THESE THINGS…

.

LOOK UP, LIFT UP YOUR HEAD!!!”

.

But having said this, there is one hobby which every ‘Noble Berean’ may take up, which only compliments the pursuit of the heavenly Prize.

.

Yes, Signs Of Heaven becomes a wonderfully rewarding hobby which, unlike many less meaningful hobbies, pays off with rich, heavenly rewards. Everlasting rewards!

.

And unlike this person in this photo with equipment, all you need is fairly good vision, and a dark, starry night.

.

And once a person really gets to know these heavenly messengers, it will become very apparent that the message connected with these signs is truly a message to be heeded.

.

Thus, the Christian will be able to share this message with others.

.

.

FIRST FIND ORION & 7 STARS

.

The very first step in finding these many constellations, should be to find the two main constellations: Orion, and the 7 Stars (aka, The Big Dipper).

.

These two constellations represent Christ (Orion), and His Church (7 Stars).

.

And just as these are the easiest constellations to find, so too, the first place to begin studying the Bible is the Four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John).

.

These four books present Christ and His Church, when He walked the earth, just as Orion and the 7 Stars represent Christ and His Church, as seen up in the heavens.

.

Then, once you are comfortable finding these two constellations, you can begin to locate the next closest constellations, and so on.

ANOTHER HEAVENLY HOBBY: PRAYER-WALKS

.

Now if you’re fortunate enough to be able to go on nightly walks, and you live in an area where you can safely view the stars, here is another Heavenly Hobby which Signs Of Heaven endorses…

.

Why not combine starwatching with prayer, as you walk? What a great way to draw closer to God!

.

It cannot be over-stressed, just how wonderful it is to walk under the dark canopy of Heaven, while lifting up one’s heart to our Heavenly Father! There is a closeness to God which cannot be described with words!

.

And even if you cannot safely do this, you can always do such prayer-walks in the daytime, in a safe place, maybe in a secure mall, which is every bit as effective, prayer-wise.

.

And for those who are in confinement, one can view these starry signs on the Internet, or simply listen to Scripture on audio.

.

Either way, all such may enjoy God’s richest blessings at this very time in which God is pouring out all Heaven’s treasures upon anyone willing to forsake all, and follow Jesus!)

THRICE-DAILY PRAYERS

.

Now of course, the Bible commands us to, “pray without ceasing“. The Christian is to constantly talk with our Heavenly Father throughout the day.

.

But the Bible also holds up the godly life of Daniel, who, when captive in Babylon, still set aside three times daily, in which he knelt for special prayer.

.

And furthermore the Bible also says… “Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and He shall hear my voice.” Psalm 55:17.

.

Even those who are bed-fast or in a prison cell can begin to imitate Daniel in this way. And if one is fortunate to be able to walk, then this thrice-daily prayer regimen can be combined with three walks daily and even nightly.

THE TWO TURTLE-DOVES CONSTELLATION… 

(THE SUMMER CONSTELLATIONS)

. 

. 

.

 Is it just a coincidence that the Ark of the Covenant Constellation also appears as two birds, which two birds (turtle-doves) were used in the Old Testament sacrifices? Hardly!

.

Listen… 

“And if he be not able to bring a lamb,

then he shall bring for his trespass,

which he hath committed,

two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, unto the LORD;

one for a sin offering,

and the other for a burnt offering.”

Leviticus 5:7. 

So two birds, being used as a sacrifice goes very well with this Ark Constellation. Just a coincidence? No!

 

.

.

.

. 

.

THE TWO TURTLE-DOVES ALSO FOLLOW ARCTURUS… 

(THE SUMMER CONSTELLATIONS)

. 

Is it just dumb luck that these two birds appear to fly forward instead of backward, as they travel east to west? Just something to consider.

.

And how could it be that the Two Turtle-doves Constellation just happens to be flying in the same direction as Arcturus is traveling?

.

No, just divine providence!

.

So, these Turtle-Doves also seem to represent the sons of Arcturus. They too are following Arcturus.

.

ABOVE STAR-CHART – Summer Constellations with Two Turtledoves (Sagittarius) & Revelation 12 Woman (Ursa Major) – www.theheavensdeclare.net

.

.

.

.

. 

.

Now normally, the birds would be killed, as a sacrifice in the Old Testament sacrificial system. But both these two birds are flying, following Arcturus.

.

This seems to speak of God’s mercy. Christ took our sins upon himself. Just like these Two Turtle-Doves being set free, so are we likewise set free from the wages of sin… “and the truth shall make you free.” John 8: 32

(THE SUMMER CONSTELLATIONS)

 

.

How is it that these two constellations concerning Nature (the Two Turtle-Doves and the Flower of the Field) just happen to show up in spring through fall; the very time when birds and flowers appear in the northern hemisphere? Coincidence?

.

No, not at all a coincidence!

The Chrysalis Christian,

.

Part 3:

“Afflictions” 

TO READ PART 1, JUST CLICK HERE… ” January 7th (The Chrysalis Christian!)”

.

.

.

.

.

.

In Part 1 (click here to read), the butterfly was presented as a perfect illustration of the “Born Again” experience.

.

That is, it was observed that just like the caterpillar that eats the green herbs of the earth, so too, unconverted humans consume the things of this world, as their time on earth passes by. 

.

.

.

.

.

.

THE CHRYSALIS STAGE

.

But the caterpillar finally reaches that time, when it finishes its days on earth.

.

And so, it ceases from its pursuit of earthly food, and begins to form a chrysalis, a type of shell-like encasement.

.

And this too, compares to the person who is finished with this selfish world.

.

And that person begins to encompass his daily duties with a backdrop total devotion to prayer and study of God’s Word.

.

All this, of course, is actually the work of the Holy Spirit, upon that person’s heart.

.

.

.

.

.

.

THE DYING STAGE

.

Now the caterpillar goes into a metamorphosis-stage. It actually turns into liquid, within the chrysalis! It completely dies!  

.

And so too, the Christian goes through a process of dying to self and dying to this selfish world.

.

And this is greatly accomplished by the many trials which come upon him (or her).

.

And God quite often allows the Devil to bring afflictions upon the Christian, via friends, family or even work-related trials.

.

But God also works through natural events as well.

.

Physical illness can also be used by God to cause the suffering Christian to wrestle in prayer.

.

So, whether by physical infirmities, or by spiritual warfare brought on by the Devil, God works through all these many afflictions to cause the Christian to fully cease from trying to bring about good, by his own strength.

.

And thus, the Christian, more and more, dies to his self-will. And more and more, the Christian leans on God’s precious promises!

.

.

JACOB’S NIGHT of WRESTLING

.

The caterpillar fully transforms into an entirely new creation within that chrysalis! And now begins a struggle to break free of that Chrysalis.

.

And of course, this reminds us of the story of Jacob, as he wrestled all night with an unknown assailant. And Jacob wrestled until the break of day.

.

And as he beheld his attacker, he realized that it was none other than the angel of the Lord, with whom he struggled all night!

.

And in those morning hours of the rising of the Sun, Jacob received the ultimate blessing of God!

.

No longer would he be known as Jacob the Deceiver. But the Angel pronounced his new name: Israel, The Prince Who Prevailed With God!

.

.

.

.

.

.

THE NEW CREATION

.

Finally, after some days or weeks of this total transformation, the former caterpillar breaks free from its chrysalis, and emerges as a beautiful butterfly!

.

A totally new Creation of God! Now with wings, it departs from its former earthly estate.

.

And now, its sole purpose is to seek the sweet nectar from every correct flower!

.

And in this process, the butterfly unknowingly cross-pollinates all the flowers, as it travels back and forth through the air, and from flower-to-flower.

.

.

.

.

.

LIVING THE CHRIST-LIKE LIFE!

.

 So too, after the Christian has fully crucified the Old Man within, with all his affections and earthly lusts, that brand-new creation by God is now ready to live out the rest of his, or her life for the glory of God!

.

And unbeknownst to that Born-Again Christian is a constant witness to the world!

.

Whether at work, or at home, or at recreation with spouse and children, the Christian is spiritually pollinating all those around, with the great Agape Love and Purity and Holiness of Christ.

.

Yes, that New Creation of God, is now changed into the likeness of the holy Christ!

.

And for the rest of that Christian’s days, there is an ongoing ascension on the upward pathway to Heaven!

.

TAKE HEART DEAR CHILD OF GOD!

.

And so, dear child of God, we must not become discouraged by trials, afflictions, or illnesses, knowing that God can and will work through all these unhappy circumstances, for our ultimate good.

.

Listen to Paul… 

“Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities,

in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions,

in distresses for Christ’s sake:

for when I am weak, then am I strong.”

2nd Corinthians 12:10

SPRING/SUMMER CONSTELLATIONS = “COME FOLLOW ME”

.

This whole Spring/Summer scenario paints the portrait of just what it means to become a disciple of Jesus.

.

We are all called to “go and sell all you have, and give to the poor…and come follow Me”.  

.

And so the new Christian begins his or her heavenly sojourn.

.

Oh yes, we’re still here on Earth.

.

But we now begin a spiritual pilgrimage, as we follow Jesus in our hearts, and learn of Him.

.

The Woman Constellation giving birth to the Christ-child typifies the Church (all true worshippers) as we struggle to rightly present Christ to the world… 

…”My little children,

of whom I travail in birth again

until Christ be formed in you.”

Galatians 4:19. 

.

So Paul was using this idea of child-birth as way of illustrating how a Believer is in spiritual labor pains, waiting for Christ to be formed within.

Today’s Devotional – July 28th

.

.

Enduring Trials!

.

.

.

.

.

When you were young, did a family member ever put a string around your loose tooth, and tie the other end to the doorknob?

.

And then they slammed the door shut, and your tooth went flying?

.

Well, afterward, it was quite a relief!

.

And anyway, you knew a new one would grow back!

.

So, it wasn’t so bad, was it?

.

But when you get older and lose a tooth, or two teeth, or three, or even a half dozen or more, then life can get downright miserable, can’t it?

.

.

.

.

OTHER MALADIES OF LIFE

.

Or what if you lose a toe to diabetes? Or a foot? Or what if you get a crippling disease, or get paralyzed in an accident?

.

For those who are Believers, these losses can become a great test of faith, can’t they?

.

Because you have asked God to protect you, and these things happen in spite of your prayers for His protection!

.

And couldn’t God have answered your prayers to live a healthier life?

.

After all, you’ve been praying for years, for help to eat better, and live healthier, haven’t you?

.

.

.

.

.

DEVIL WHISPERS IN EAR!

.

Well, there are many who can relate to these questions.

.

Yes, there are many who have been praying for God to help them and protect them, and these things seem to happen anyway!

.

And it’s a real test of faith, especially when the Devil whispers in your ear, “God has let you down! He’s unfair!”.

.

.

.

.

.

JOB’S TRIAL

.

For some reason, the Book of Job just hasn’t got the attention that so many other books of the Bible have gotten.

.

And yet the book of Job is an extremely vital part of the sacred Scriptures!

.

For one thing, Job had an experience which so many of us can relate to, more or less.

.

You see, Job had lived a charmed life, for so many years!

.

But one day, this man of God, who had comforted and encouraged so many others throughout his life, was now the victim of a brutal and nearly total devastation, rained down on him by, “the enemy of souls”!

.

Job – Wikipedia – US public-domain

.

.

.

.

.

3 MISERABLE COMFORTERS

.

And if that wasn’t enough, Satan brought three “friends”, who began to point the finger at Job, and tell him he was only getting what he deserved.

.

Job’s pent-up inner pride then began to surface!

.

Job actually thought he was righteous! He thought that his outward goodness was his own goodness, and not the gift of God!

.

.

.

.

.

.

GOD QUESTIONS JOB

.

Well finally, after Job’s three friends (plus Elihu, the 4th man) ceased from trying to convince Job of his sins, God Himself entered into the discourse, asking Job about 80 questions (some say, 77 questions): questions far beyond Job’s comprehension!

.

But though the questions were more than Job could ever answer, Job understood the big point that God was trying to make with him.

.

And the point that God was trying to make was, that God is much greater than Man. And God’s ways are eternal.

.

Listen… “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.” Isaiah 55:9

.

And so, God does many things which we cannot understand.

.

And God often does many things which even seem somewhat cruel!

.

But we just can’t comprehend God’s eternal plan! We just cannot see down through the corridors of time, like God does!

.

Job – Wikipedia – US public-domain

.

.

.

.

.

JOB WAS ULTIMATELY VICTORIOUS!

.

But the Good News for Job was, that all through his trial, Job did not verbally curse God!

.

No, Job kept himself from “letting God have it, with both barrels!” And so, technically, God won His bet with the Devil.

.

And yet, in that months-long process, Job’s hidden sins of pride and judging and rebellion, were all exposed.

.

And Job finally and humbly confessed, saying… “I have heard of Thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth Thee. Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.” Job 42:5, 6

.

.

.

.

.

.

YE SHALL HAVE TRIBULATION!

.

And so, trials may come our way, and they will!

.

Oh yes, if we are a true disciple of Jesus, we can expect many trials, both small and big, to come our way!

.

Even many loses, such as losing teeth, or a limb, or two limbs! Or loss of employment! Or a deadly disease! Or the death of a loved one! 

.

But whatever trials may come our way, we must remember this: God has allowed trials to come our way for His own reasons. 

.

.

.

.

.

.

GET ACQUAINTED WITH GOD!

.

And so, let’s be like Job, and keep ourselves from giving in to Satan’s temptation to shake our fist in anger at God!

.

And if we really want to find out just what God is up to, we can always go to the book of Job and read those 80 or so, questions, and answer each one.

.

And then we’ll know exactly what God is up to, won’t we? Of course, we won’t be able to answer all those questions.

.

But as we study the Bible more and more, we will eventually understand God a lot more than we now do!

.

Listen… “Acquaint now thyself with Him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.” Job 22:21

“A SIGN…OF THE LORD…IN THE HEIGHT ABOVE”

Isaiah 7:11

.

Long ago, God made a promise in the Book of Isaiah, Ch. 7… 

…”Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.” 

.

Now just what sign could this be, that was either in the depth or in the height above?

.

Oh, OK. So we know this sign was fulfilled in the depth, with the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. But God also spoke of a sign in the “height above”.

.

So where is the fulfillment of this sign, in the “height above”?

.

In the summer night-sky, she appears as the woman-in-travail.

Satan’s Number “8”,

.

Part 2:

“Spider’s 8 Legs”

For the first devotion, click here…July 26th (Satan’s Number “8”)

.

.

.

.

In yesterday’s devotional (click here), the eight arms of the Octopus were discussed, and how they symbolized Satan. And it was discussed how the number, “8”, is the number of the eight kings of the Antichrist Beast.

.

But spiders also have eight legs, while most insects only have six. And spiders also symbolize Satan, as he weaves his deadly web of sin and deceit for the human race, but especially the Church!

.

Yes, some spiders even wrap their victims in their silken cords, and inject a deadly paralyzing poison into the fly, which turns that bug into a pulpy liquid. Spiders are indeed a worthy comparison to Satan!

.

.

.

.

.

.

WEB: AN OPTICAL ILLUSION!

.

And of course, it has already been presented in past devotionals, how the spider’s web is an optical illusion, looking like a three-dimensional tunnel.

.

And it has been discussed that the poor fly thinks it’s flying through that tunnel, only to discover that it wasn’t a tunnel after all, but a deadly trap.

.

And of course, this also reminds of all the many ideologies in the world, which seem like a journey to a better place, but only prove to be a deadly trap, just like the spider’s web. And by the time the human victim realizes his or her error, Satan has already paralyzed that human with his indwelling “antichrist…spirit of error”!

(see 1st John 4:3, 6 for “antichrist” and “spirit of error” reference) 

.

And it was also discussed in yesterday’s devotional (click here), that the eight tentacles of the Octopus represent the spirit of Antichrist, which is comprised of eight symbolic spirits: seven of which represent false religion, and the eighth representing Satan himself (see Matthew 12:43-45).

.

.

.

.

.

.

QUALITIES OF MANKIND

.

But there is another aspect to all this, which wasn’t discussed in yesterday’s devotional. And that is what will be lightly dealt with today.

.

You see, the Bible speaks of the Antichrist in a number of places.

.

Listen to this… 

“These six things doth the LORD hate:

yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 

1. A proud look, 

2. a lying tongue, and 

3. hands that shed innocent blood, 

4. An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, 

5. feet that be swift in running to mischief. 

6. A false witness that speaketh lies, and 

7. he that soweth discord among brethren”

Proverbs 6:16-19.

.

This description almost sounds like your typical Hollywood movie, doesn’t it? And to a great degree, these are the same qualities which govern the people of this world. Do we even need to explore these qualities?

.

For instance, is there any doubt that this world loves pride? Pride of dress. Pride of houses and cars, and careers and credentials? Yes, pride is a very important quality of this world. And that’s merely the first quality mentioned here!

.

But the other 6 qualities are also very prevalent in society. Lust, violence, greed, immorality, indifference, hatred, etc., are the sins which, not only the people of the world possess, but also the majority of the people of the church world.

.

“SEVEN” = GOD’S NUMBER…

.

“These six things doth the LORD hate:

yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 

1. A proud look, 

2. a lying tongue, and 

3. hands that shed innocent blood, 

4. An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, 

5. feet that be swift in running to mischief. 

6. A false witness that speaketh lies, and 

7. he that soweth discord among brethren”

Proverbs 6:16-19.

.

So it sounds as if we’re simply talking here, about a worldly-minded person.

.

But when God says…“SIX things doth Lord hate: yea SEVEN are an abomination unto Him”, God appears to be hinting, by using the number “seven”, that He is speaking of an unconverted person WITHIN the Church!

.

This is because the phrase “Six things doth the Lord hate” is pointing to Mankind whose number is “six” (“So God created man…And the evening and the morning were the SIXTH DAY.” Genesis 1:27, 31).

.

But when God says “yea SEVEN are an abomination unto Him”, then we’re talking of “Rest”…hence the number “seven”… “And God blessed the SEVENTH DAY, and sanctified it: because that in it He had rested from all His work which God created and made.” Genesis 2:3. 

.

And as a further evidence, just look at what is the 7th thing mentioned… “he that soweth discord among brethren”. Right here, God has hidden the key to the understanding of just what is the Abomination of Desolation: “he that soweth discord among brethren”. This is the 7th thing that God hates. And of course, it’s dealing with “among brethren”. And so, this 7th Abomination has to do with sowing discord “among brethren”. 

.

It is those wolves in sheep’s clothing who have entered God’s sheepfold, and are “among brethren”, leading these unsuspecting brethren astray.

.

THE ANTICHRIST BEAST!

.

And so, to put it concisely, this counterfeit religious system of the Antichrist Beast is merely the spirit of the world, with all its ungodly traits, being brought into the Church. These are the seven heads (kings) of the Antichrist Beast. And of course, the eighth king is Satan himself!

.

Now these seven heads could be defined even more precisely! But that will have to be for a later discussion.

.

But to sum up today’s devotional, let it be said that this information gives us a greater understanding of how “the god of this world”, Lucifer (now called “Satan”, “The Devil”, and “The Dragon”) works in this, his antichrist world-system.

.

THE DRAGON OF REVELATION 12 CONSTELLATION. The star-charts below (below, right) are from Wikipedia and are combined into one chart to show these three constellations, which the editor has sketched over with these three constellations, as they appear when in the west. Hopefully, this will be an assist in locating these constellations in the night-sky.

.

.

.

LOCATION…

.

The Revelation 12 Dragon Constellation can be located by finding Orion in winter months. The Dragon is to Orion’s left, and the Dragon’s mouth is right next to Orion’s shield. This Dragon’s mouth is the V-like constellation The Hyades Cluster, which is also known as the head of Taurus the Bull. The Dragon’s tail-tip is Pleiades and the lower shaft of his tail is partly of Aries  and Pisces. 

.

Then with aid of a dark and starry night, you may begin to connect the mouth and the tail with a very long body in an oval shape. The front and back legs are made of a few stars: the front legs partially of stars from Taurus . The back legs and rear fin are made of 6 stars from the Cetus Constellation.

.

BODY HARD TO SEE

.

The long oval-shaped body has relatively few stars, but can been seen, howbeit with a dark, starry night. The four stars of the front fins are made partially of Taurus .

Satan’s Number “8”

.

.

.

.

.

Most insects have six legs. And for those who have curious minds, the question comes down: “Why do most insects have six legs?”

.

Well, scientists might attempt to give some scientific explanation for why.

.

But the question might also be asked: “Why does the spider have eight legs?”

.

And again, scientists may have a complicated answer for that question too!

SIX: THE NUMBER OF MAN

“Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six”

Revelation 13:18 

.

But for the Creationist, the answer is simple. The number six is the number of Man.

.

And the number eight is the number of Satan.

.

And so, that is why spiders catch little bugs in their nets, and not the other way around. Because the spider web is a perfect illustration of Satan’s snares, which he uses to catch the souls of men.

THE OCTOPUS

.

Now, there are a few other creatures which have eight limbs.

.

The Octopus immediately comes to mind. Could God have given the Octopus ten tentacles? Of course He could have!

.

But God again wants to give us an illustration of Satan, and how he works. 

.

Just look at how the Octopus’ limbs have suction cups!

.

This amazing phenomenon is an awesome illustration of how Satan’s various ways of deception can grip tightly upon his victims!

.

And of course, both the Octopus and Satan poison their victim. 

.

Another allegorical aspect to an Octopus, is the way it will shoot a jet of black ink, in order to escape from a pursuer.

.

Does not Satan use a cloak of darkness to erase himself out of existence?

.

And for centuries, Satan has used ink and paper to deceive the world with false ideologies!

.

Yes, the deceptive ideologies which men have written down in innumerable books, magazines, etc., have greatly obscured Satan’s existence, misdirecting humans from the true nature of this satanic world!

.

Satan, “the god of this world”, has literally erased himself from the minds of men, via world’s deceptive literature! (see 2nd Corinthians 4:4)

THE BEAST & THE DRAGON

.

Now, just look at the Bible, and you will see this number eight being used to describe Satan. 

.

Listen… “And here is the mind which hath wisdom.

The seven heads (of the Antichrist beast) are seven mountains,

on which the woman sitteth. 

And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is,

and the other is not yet come;

and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. 

And the beast that was, and is not, even HE IS THE EIGHTH, and is of the seven,

and goeth into perdition.”

Revelation 17:9-11 

.

So here is the Antichrist Beast. And his seven heads represent seven mountains, and seven kings. But the Beast himself is the eighth.

.

And of course, this beast is made in image of the Revelation 12 Dragon. And so, the Beast and the Dragon (Satan) are made in the same image!

JESUS EXPLAINS THE NUMBER, “8”

.

Okay, so what is the significance of the number eight? Just what spiritual truth does the number eight represent?

.

Perhaps a parabolic truth which Jesus told the Pharisees will make these things more clear.

.

Listen… 

“When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man,

he walks through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none,

he says, ‘I will return unto my house whence I came out.’

And when he comes, he finds it swept and garnished.

Then goes he, and takes to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself;

and they enter in, and dwell there:

and the last state of that man is worse than the first.”

Luke 11:24-26

.

.

.

NUMBER “7”, A RELIGIOUS NUMBER

.

So, this little illustration presents a great big truth. Yes, Jesus was telling the Pharisees this account, so as to illustrate how Satan can take some secular person and turn him into a much more evil person.

.

Now he is a religious man, symbolized by the addition of “7 more devils” (he doesn’t literally have 7 more devils, but merely figuratively).

.

Oh yes, he is still unconverted! But Satan has now given him a form of godliness, but with merely a counterfeit “holy spirit”!

.

And so, this is the big point of the number eight. It is 7 + 1. Satan plus his counterfeit religiosity, represented by God’s number of spiritual rest, “7”.

.

.

.

.

.

Now there is much more to all this. The Dragon and the Beast both have seven heads.

.

And each of those heads represent aspects to Satan’s character.

.

And that will have to be a discussion for another day!

SEVEN HEADS of the DRAGON

.

“And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.” Revelation 12 

.

.

This Dragon Constellation does not have 7 heads and 10 horns and 7 crowns, as this above verse speaks of.

.

But the wave of water coming out of the Dragon’s mouth has these numbers, 7 and 10, according to the brightness of the stars which comprise the wave of water.

.

That is, this wave of water has 10 basic stars (#1 thru #10).

.

But the main body is comprised of 7 stars, leaving three lesser stars at the tip of the wave (#’s 8, 9, 10).

.

So we have a 7/3 division in the star-count on this wave of water. You can somewhat see this in the sketch to the right.

.

Just notice that the main body of this wave has 7 stars (#1 thru #7).

.

But the very tip of the curl has 3 little stars (#’s 8, 9, 10). (there are actually 7 more very faint stars in a long string, just under the curl as well, stars: a, b, c, d, e, f, g, which brings the total number of stars to 17.)

.

So God has created this wave of water to give us much insight into just what those heads and horns and crowns all represent on the Revelation 13 Beast.

.

For details on this phenomenon of the wave, just go to “Flood Waters of Satan” article.

Look For The Light At The End Of The Tunnel!

.

Part 2:

“Conservative Gospels”

To read part 1, click here…April 16th (Look For The Light At The End of the Tunnel! Part 1: Judging Others!)

.

.

.

.

.

Do you see the optical illusion? Doesn’t this web photo appear as a tunnel? If you go surfing through the world-wide web for pictures of spider webs, they often do have the appearance of being a tunnel (well, the good ones do).

.

And it is not hard to imagine that this 3-dimensional, tunnel-like, optical-illusion, deceives the little bug into thinking that he (or she) is going through a tunnel, when he (or she) is actually flying into a deadly trap!

.

.

.

.

.

.

SPIRITUALISM

.

And also, have you ever heard that well-known saying by those who are involved in spiritualism: “Look for the light at the end of the tunnel”? It kind-of reminds one of this photo of a spider-web, with its host. 

.

And just like this spider-web, so also, those who dabble in such magic arts will eventually discover that the light and also the tunnel of their spiritualism, was just an optical illusion too, just like this spider-web photo.

.

 

.

.

.

.

WEB OF DECEIT IN GOD’S HOUSE

.

Well, the occult isn’t the only place which is an optical illusion like the spider web! Even in Christian gospels, that wily old spider, Satan, has spun his deadly web in the form of counterfeit gospels.

.

Oh yes, those prosperity-driven gospels, today, promise to be “a light at the end of the tunnel”, but are merely a cleverly designed trap: a web of deceit, to ensnare and entangle the unwary soul, who naively flies right into them!

But it’s not just the far-out liberal prosperity gospels, which promise you riches, health, and family-peace, if only you “plant your seed” in the form of generous financial offerings!

SINS OF SODOM IN TODAY’S CHURCH

.

But the fact is, even the so-called “Conservative” gospels are mostly a devilish deception as well. They too, are a cleverly designed web of entanglement. Oh no, these conservative gospels do not promote the notion of planting seed money in some get-rich “Heavenly” Ponzi-scheme! No, no! They scoff at those liberal gospels that preach such nonsense!

.

But the conservative, prosperity-driven gospels preach about having an “entrepreneurial spirit”, and about honesty and patriotism, and good citizenship, etc..

.

But just like the “Name-it-and-claim-it” gospels, they too, promote the same self-seeking for financial affluence which led to the decadence and ultimate destruction of Sodom! Yes, it was Sodom’s opulence and pride which led Sodom to eventually embrace its abominable perversions.

.

“Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom,

pride, FULLNESS OF BREAD, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters,

neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.”

Ezekiel 16:49

.

And it is the same pride and love of opulence which destroyed Lot’s wife and is just now leading our present culture down the same path as Sodom! And so, the bottom line to both these groups, conservative or liberal, is an earthly prosperity-driven gospel!

(Oh yes, these prosperity ideologies may be fine for the people of the world to pursue, but the Christian’s great focus and chief desire is now to be Heavenward, seeking to be transformed into the image of Christ.)

FLEE THE OPULENCE OF SODOM

.

Listen to Paul, as he describes the apostate condition which can overtake many professing Christians…“(churchgoers) supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.” 1st Timothy 6:5

.

Yes, there are many who suppose that gain is godliness. This has more or less become the condition of today’s church-world, either liberal or conservative. And Paul here says to withdraw yourself from such!

.

Listen as Paul continues…

“But godliness with contentment is great gain.

For we brought nothing into this world,

and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 

And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.”

1st Timothy 6:6-8. 

Now just how often do we hear this being preached or followed? Not very often!

.

And Paul continues on to tell us the horrible results of our seeking after earthly opulence…

“But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare,

and into many foolish and hurtful lusts,

which drown men in destruction and perdition.

For the love of money is the root of all evil:

which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith,

and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

But thou, O man of God, flee these things;”

1st Timothy 6:9, 10

NO ROOM FOR DIVIDED HEART

.

And so, those of us who think we can serve the Lord, while at the same time live for the pleasures, prosperity, and proud pursuits which this opulent society also seeks after, we are as caught in sin as much as the proverbial fly is caught in that spider’s web!

.

And so, the morale of this little devotional is, that whatever heavenly concept which happens to be preached in a congregation is meaningless, if the congregation is not personally striving for that same heavenly quality of spiritual life!

.

Because, truth, when mingled with the worldliness, becomes seven times more deceptive than blatant, overt sin!

7 HEADS, 10 HORNS, & 7 CROWNS OF THE DRAGON

.

“And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.” Revelation 12:3 

.

In Revelation, the Dragon of Revelation 12 is described as having seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns. However, the Dragon Constellation up in the night sky does not. But God has faithfully created the wave of water, in such a way, as to illustrate this same concept of the seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns. Because this wave of water is basically composed of ten stars. The main body of the wave has seven stars (#‘s, 1 thru 7). And the tip of the crest of the wave has the other three stars (#’s, 8, 9 & 10). So we have this 7 and 10 numbering. And this gives us a great clue, as to where in the Bible we should look, to find out the riddle as to just what or who do these 7 heads, 10 crowns, and 7 horns represent. Because, the Bible speaks very much about floods and waters as being associated with Satan (the Dragon).

.

But before we explore the floods, let’s look at one more number from that same passage in Revelation…

.

.

.

.

7 STARS RIDING IN THE CRADLE

.

“But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.” James 1:6

.

As of November, 2012, it has become evident that there is another very frightening aspect to this wave of water. As you can see in this sketch, there are seven stars which comprise the trough or valley, or cradle of this wave. This area of the wave, is where an object would logically be swept away or carried away by an actual wave of water in the ocean. Since there are seven stars (letters a,b,c,d,e,f,g) in this valley or cradle, this would indicate that seven stars are probably symbolizing God’s people being swept away by Satan’s Wave of Lying Waters Constellation.

.

Now, at this point, someone would object to this assertion, saying, the Church has not been deceived. The answer to this question could be explored by the three following articles… “Floodwaters of Atheism & Psychology” and “Fleeing to the Mountains-Part 2-The Abomination In Churches” and“Television: The Image That Speaks”

Gulls Along the Shoreline

.

.

.

.

 

.

“But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee;

.

and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:

.

Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee:

.

and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.

.

Who knoweth not in all these

.

that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this?

.

In whose hand is the soul of every living thing,

.

and the breath of all mankind.”

Job 12:7-10

.

.

.

If you’ve ever been to the ocean, you’ve probably heard the sound of gulls, as they fly back and forth along the shoreline.

.

Many people enjoy the sounds of the ocean and the gulls together. And it’s no accident that our Creator has combined these two sounds, the crashing waves with the searching gulls. It has a timeless serenity about it.

.

And many have resorted to the healing properties which the ocean seems to have, to heal from some change, tragedy, or loss in their life.

.

To walk along, and stop and sit on a large driftwood, and hear the searching gulls and the crashing waves, just seems to bring tranquility to the wounded and hurting soul.

.

GULLS: LITTLE TEACHERS OF TRUTHS

.

But beside the sheer serene beauty of the ocean and the ever-present gulls, these birds can be wonderful teachers of spiritual truth!

.

Yes, the Bible says we have… “ten thousand instructors in Christ” 1st Corinthians 4:15. And gulls are just one example of those ten thousand teachers which Paul spoke of.

.

This is because gulls, like every other work of God’s wisdom, have aspects about them, which makes them living parables, confirming what the Bible already says!

.

.

.

.

.

.

HUMAN RACE FIGHTS FOR OUR FOOD!

.

And because gulls are what the Bible calls “unclean beasts”, these gulls also have some negative aspects about them!

.

To see the gulls in a frenzy, as they fight for some food, is perhaps somewhat comical. And yet it is an amazing scenario of the human condition, as we ourselves, so often, also go greedily after the things of the world!

.

Those who work in large corporations can attest to all the pushing, shoving, backstabbing and ambitious stepping on the backs of others, merely to get ahead! And to watch an aggressive and dominating seagull begin to peck at the other gulls, until they all tuck their heads in submission, reminds us of the pride and self-dominance which humans so often exert over others.

THE SEASHORE: WONDERFUL PLACE TO REFLECT!

.

Well, the ocean and the gulls can be a wonderful place for a person to make up their mind to get out of this rat-race which this self-seeking world so often is and begin to sojourn upon that upward pathway which Jesus has provided!

.

And to walk along the shoreline, as the gulls make their never-ending search for morsels of food, has provided the perfect backdrop for those who might be hungering after God’s love, and for His eternal life and everlasting rest!

DRAGON CONSTELLATION’S WAVE OF WATER

.

.

.

.

.

“And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman,

that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

When the waves of death compassed me…

THE FLOODS OF UNGODLY MEN made me afraid. 

The sorrows of Hell compassed me about…”

Revelation 12:15 & 2nd Samuel 22:5.

.

.

.

.

.

In Revelation, the Dragon of Revelation 12 is described as having seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns. However, the Dragon of Revelation 12 Constellation  up in the night sky does not. But God has faithfully created this wave of water, in such a way, as to illustrate this same concept of the seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns. Because this wave of water is basically comprised of ten stars. The main body of the wave has seven stars (#’s 1 thru 7, in the sketch), and the tip of the crest of the wave has the other three stars, (#’s 8, 9, 10). So in this wave, we see the same 7/10 numbering found in the Revelation description of the heads/horns/crowns of the Dragon. And this gives us a great clue, as to where in the Bible we should look, to find out the riddle as to just what or who do these 7 heads, 10 crowns, and 7 horns represent. Because, the Bible speaks very much about floods and waters as being associated with Satan (the Dragon).
