It only takes a glance at the world to realize that we are in serious trouble!
.
Everything in the world seems to have gone topsy-turvy…
… from the global rise of sodomy…
…to our decaying learning institutions…
…to the attempt for global takeover by a religious/political group…
…to the bitter and insane wars between the Political Left and Right…
…to the growing hostility and even the wholesale slaughter of Christians and Jews…
…to our suicidal economic policies by the national government…
…to the rapidly declining morals…
…to the senseless and bizarre murder accounts…
…to the rapidly increasing crime rate…
…to the great apostasy of the church-world!
.
These and other signs of decadence and destruction of things which, just a few years ago, were things we thought to be as solid as the Rock of Gibraltar!
Yes, there is a madness which seems to have entered into our society:
…Crazy laws which make no sense are now being enacted…
…Suicidal economic policies that have no rhyme or reason are squeezing the lifeblood from once-great societies…
…atheists trying to destroy the divine moral code which God gave to hold the societies together, even though they know that it will destroy our nation!
.
It seems as if the world is going crazy!
.
And so, when God tells Jeremiah…
…”And they (the peoples of the world) shall drink,
and be moved,
and be mad (“insane”, WEB Bible)”…
…it sure seems that this prophecy is now coming to pass!

“…until he be taken out of the way…”
2nd Thessalonians 2:3
.
The big point for today’s devotional is that it appears as if the Holy Spirit is being withdrawn from its protection over the nations.
.
And of course, if the Holy Spirit is being withdrawn, then the Bible informs us that the “abomination of Desolation” will undoubtedly move in. (Matthew 24:15 & Mark 13:14)
.
Yes, it looks as if “the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way;” and has moved in and taken over this crazy insane world. Jeremiah 4:7
.
And perhaps, this is God’s “Cup of Fury”, His removal of His Holy Spirit of protection from this fallen and rebellious world.
.
Of course, Believers have the promise…“And lo, I am with you, even unto the end of the world.” Matthew 28:20.
.
And so, true worshipers DO NOT have to worry about the absence of God’s Spirit from their hearts. That won’t happen!

So how does this brightest and most well-known constellation relate to the Book of Revelation?
.
After all, the Book of Revelation seems to be closely intertwined with the stars of heaven.
.
And Revelation Ch. 15 is just one of those places in which Revelation speaks of the Signs Of Heaven.“And I saw another sign in heaven…” Revelation 15:1.
.
God here, is dropping this great big clue on us, as to just what the signs in Heaven are all about.
.
This verse speaks of a “another sign in heaven, great and marvellous”.
.
Okay, so if this is “another” sign in heaven, then one would have to go back to Chapter 12 to find the other signs in heaven.
.
And together, these signs from chapters, 12 & 15 make up a great portion of this website, Signs Of Heaven.

Encircling this entire globe is a great sign in Heaven!
.
Perhaps, the greatest of all signs! (This picture is the straightened-out version, while this massive constellation literally 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…“
.
Yes, here is the most remarkable of all signs in heaven!
Well, this Constellation of constellations perhaps makes an appropriate finale to these signs of heaven.
.
Because this Son of Man Constellation pretty much sums up the true Way to come out of Babylon.
.
You see, the Christian community has brought many things of the world into many of the local congregations: sports, comedians, games, sex-appeal, sensual music, and a host of other worldly additions.
Yes, just how does a man, woman, or child come out of all this Babylonish confusion?
.
Very simple! God is calling us to “walk even as He (Jesus) walked.” 1st John 2:6
.
This is the essence of coming out of Babylon: to cast away all unbiblical doctrine and earthly idols and simply let the purity of the Gospel of Christ become our all in all!
And so, this great Sign of the Son of Man Constellation shines brightly in heaven, as a great reminder that Jesus is the true Door to eternal life!
.
And nothing else but Jesus will fit through that Door!
.
ABOVE PICTURE: Castor and Pollux – The Narrow Gate Which leads To Life Everlasting
.
.
.
.
.
“ALL ABOARD!”
.
And thus, the call goes out to every man, woman, and child to come, enter into the Ark which is ready to depart out of this sad and hopeless world.
.
And its destination is Heaven! And its guide-map is the Bible. And the only passport needed is a mustard-seed of faith!
.
And whether at home in bed, or in a wheelchair, or incarcerated, or at work, or even at recreation with the family, the Door is very near, and open wide enough for you and Jesus (in you) to enter in!
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.”
Matthew 24:29, 3o
.
.
.

STRETCHED FROM SKY TO SKY
.
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.
.
There is an old song which goes… “The love of God is greater far than tongue or pen can ever tell; It goes beyond the highest star, and reaches to the lowest Hell…
.
But the last verse of this song says…
“Could we with ink the ocean fill,
And were the skies of parchment made,
were every stalk on earth a quill,
And every man a scribe by trade;
To write the love of God above,
would drain the ocean dry;
Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
though stretched from sky to sky.”
Now what makes all this so extremely interesting, is that this verse was found scribbled on the wall of a deceased “insane” person’s cell in a psychiatric sanitarium, upon removing his corpse.
.
And little did this “insane” man realize, that God had actually written His love and inscribed that love on the scroll (of the sky).
.
And God had actually stretched that picture of love “from sky to sky”, just as the song-verse said.
.
And now God has revealed this heavenly portrait of the Son of Man, writhing in pain for a planet who cares very little for Him.
(These constellations span both summer and winter sky, and this constellation in this picture to the right actually appears much more curved in the sky.)

7 HEADS OF THE BEAST = THE 7 STARS OF REVELATION 12 DRAGON’S WAVE OF WATER
.
In yesterday’s devotional (click here to read), the parallel between the 7 heads of the Revelation 13 Antichrist Beast (picture left) and the 7 stars (picture right) which comprise the wave of water coming forth from the mouth of the Revelation 12 Dragon Constellation was made.
And each of the 7 heads of the beast and each of the 7 bright stars (there are 3 more dim stars) which comprise this wave of water, represent the 7 kingdoms which have ruled over the world throughout history:
.
1st Head: Babylon (Man’s human pride),
.
2nd Head: Medo-Persia (Man’s greedy and forceful takeover of God’s territory),
Here in extremely concise language, is generally what the 7 heads of Satan’s Antichrist Beast are all about.
.
And the 7 kingdoms are likewise represented by the 7 stars of the wave of water constellation which proceeds forth from the Dragon Constellation’s mouth.
Now, as the saying goes, we’ve already gotten ourselves into some “very tall weeds” in this devotional.
.
Yes, these are very complex concepts, to say the least!
An entire book could be written on this subject.
.
Nevertheless, for the sake of brevity, we will simply skip over to the topic of foolish human pride, and how it relates to the 1st head of the beast, and to the 1st of the 7 stars in the dragon constellation’s wave of water (mostly comprised of the Auriga Constellation).
THE GREAT IMAGE OF NEBUCHADNEZZAR: “Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?”
Daniel 4:30
.
In Daniel, Chapter 2: 31-45, the Prophet, Daniel, interpreted King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream about a great statue, the symbol of the world’s ruling kingdoms throughout history.
.
The first king depicted was Nebuchadnezzar himself, corresponding to the head of gold.
.
Of course, the head of a person rules over his entire body.
.
And so, the proud King Nebuchadnezzar was ultimately what this great statue image was all about: Human pride!
.
And Nebuchadnezzar was all about pride, foolish human pride!
.
After all, King Nebuchadnezzar had built his glorious kingdom of Babylon, with all its grandeur: gardens and architectural wonders and wine, women, and song!
.
And Nebuchadnezzar was proud of his accomplishments.
.
He took full credit for all his accomplishments, not realizing that it was actually God who had empowered Nebuchadnezzar to attain to all those achievements.
And isn’t it true that we humans follow closely in Nebuchadnezzar’s footsteps?
.
Yes, we often pat ourselves on the back for our own personal accomplishments too, don’t we?
.
Pride is a very great motivator!
.
It is the fuel which drives much of this world’s business engine!
.
It inspires nations and kings to rise up in power!
.
It causes individuals to strive for excellence (and riches and power) in many endeavors!
.
It encourages much of the sports world, as well as most any type of competition!
.
And pride drives much of the entertainment world, as well!
.
And it can cause people to beautify their homes, and gardens, and lands, and even themselves, all in effort to impress the neighbors and all who drive by or visit!
.
And pride can even motivate unsaved individuals to become humanitarians, giving their time, energy, and means to various philanthropic causes (often holding back enough wealth to still live in luxury)!
.
Yes, human pride is perhaps the world’s greatest motivator!
Well, there is Good News amidst all this negativity.
.
Yes, any man, woman, or child who desires to throw off this proud Luciferian spirit and become ruled over by Christ’s meek and lowly Spirit can cry out to Him for deliverance.
.
God is just waiting for any soul who is willing to renounce this proud and selfish world.
.
And Jesus calls out to each of us…
“Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.
Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me;
for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.”
Matthew 11:28-30
.
Yes, Jesus offers us the Spirit of meekness and lowliness, just as He is meek and lowly.
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 7/10 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).

A most amazing and wonderful constellation appears in early spring in the south.
.
It moves from east to west during the night and slowly moves to the western horizon by fall.
.
It is commonly known as Sagittarius. (The three stars at the top of the 2nd Turtle-dove are not shown in some Sagittarius Star-charts, but are in others.)
But this constellation, if you look at it in the southern sky in springtime or summertime, you can also easily see it as two twin birds flying westward.
.
This Two Turtledoves Constellation is the very same constellation as, The Ark Constellation.
This is an optical illusion.
.
It can be seen in southern sky in early spring through fall, traveling from east to west throughout the night.
.
.
.
.
.
“And…he shall bring…two turtledoves, or two young pigeons…one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering.”
Leviticus 5:7 (Condensed)
.
This above passage from Leviticus really makes a concise statement, concerning this Two Turtledoves Constellation.
.
Because in Scripture, they symbolized earthly poverty, yet spiritual richness.
.
Listen…“And if he be not able to bring a lamb,
then he shall bring for his trespass, which he hath committed,
two turtledoves, etc…”
Leviticus 5:7 (Condensed)
.
This above verse lays down the law, that those who were too poor to offer a lamb, had the option to offer two turtledoves instead.
This amazing “Two Turtledoves Constellation” teaches us many lessons.
.
And one of those lessons is how the Bible commands us to come to Jesus…
“So likewise, whosoever he be of you
that forsaketh not all that he hath,
he cannot be My disciple.”
Luke 14:33
.
Here is perhaps one of the hardest sayings in Scripture: that Christ requires a total heart-forsaking of all the glories, riches and vain pleasures of this selfish world, for anyone who wants to become His disciple!
.
Listen to a simple call from Jesus…“Come and follow Me”, and an equally simple response by His disciples…“they forsook all, and followed Him.” Luke 5:11
This constellation appears in early spring in the south.
.
It moves from east to west during the night and slowly moves to the western horizon by fall.

Yes, today’s audiences demand clever speakers, emotionally charged music, repetitive chants, and well-timed jokes and quips!
And instead, we want exotic prophecies about black helicopters and prognostications about future political events!
.
Certainly nothing that will make us uncomfortable and wound our egos or condemn our selfish lifestyles!
.
Yes, it sadly seems that we’re much like those rebels who complained to Jesus…“Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, ‘This is an hard saying; who can hear it’?” (John 6:60)

WAKE-UP CALL NEEDED!
.
On the other hand, God takes no pleasure in giving us such a harsh rebuke!
.
And yet, if God only presented us with a nice, poetic, and smooth message, then nobody would prepare for war! Oh yes, everyone would like that smooth message!
.
But we would not be alarmed out of our slumber!
.
Listen… “But though He (God) cause grief,
yet will He have compassion according to the multitude of His mercies…
Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD”
Lamentations 3:32-34, 40, 41 (Condensed)
.
Here is a revelation of our merciful God knows that our present troubles and distresses will hopefully wake us up, back to the glorious ways of Heaven!
And we need to be honest and NOT be like the proverbial ostrich, hiding her head in the sand.
.
But we also must fix our gaze on that happy and joyful Land just ahead!
.
And once we cross that Dark River, we will hear the distant sounds of innocent children, laughing as they play!
.
And then we’ll hear the joyful songs of the Redeemed, as they happily stroll through those ever-winding meadows of lush green grass, in that Beulah-Land, that is ‘Fairer than Day’!
“Dear Lord, help me today, to appreciate correction! Let me not be misled by all the smooth preaching of today’s teachers. But lead me in the way of truth, though it may cause grief at times…

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.
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!
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.
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)”.
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.
ALL ‘NOBLE BEREANS’ (open-minded seekers of Bible truth) ARE ENCOURAGED TO BEGIN FOLLOWING THIS 650+ AUDIO BIBLE STUDY THROUGH THE BOOK OF JEREMIAH EACH DAY ON THIS DAILY DEVOTIONAL.
.
THIS STUDY #56 IS PRESENTED BY THE LATE HAROLD CAMPING…
But there were false prophets also among the people,
even as there shall be false teachers among you,
who privily shall bring in damnable heresies…”
Mark 13:22 & Peter 2:1
.
.
.
.
.
.
And so, just what is a Babylonian teacher?
.
Very simply put, the Babylon of today is the kingdom of darkness, Satan’s kingdom.
.
Listen to Isaiah 14…
“That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon,
and say, How hath the oppressor ceased!
the golden city ceased!…
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!
how art thou cut down to the ground,
which didst weaken the nations!”
Isaiah 14:4, 12
.
Here is revealed how the King of Babylon is allegorical language for Satan and his kingdom of darkness….that is, “them that sit in darkness out of the prison house”
Another false doctrine which actually has its roots in ancient Babylon, is that Hell is a place of consciousness, which church-doctrine theologians have tagged as, “Eternal Torment”.
.
This false doctrine was originated by taking certain verses out of the context of the entire Bible while ignoring many other verses which declare that Hell is actually the grave, and “The wages of sin is DEATH”. Romans 6:23
.
Obviously, this false doctrine makes God look like a hideous monster in the eyes of the unsaved public.
A general consensus among most Bible teachers is that Christians must not attempt to interpret the Bible allegorically, but only literally, unless context demands an allegorical interpretation.
THE FREE-WILL SALVATION: A ROMAN CATHOLIC DOCTRINE
.
Another false teaching is that there are some who have just a bit of inherent self-righteousness, enough so that they choose to follow Jesus…
.
…instead of obeying what scripture says…“and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.” Acts 13:48
.
We were all “dead in trespasses and sins”, and only God can give a person “Repentance to the acknowledging of the truth”. (see Ephesians Chapter 2, and 2nd Timothy 2:25)
Here is another false doctrine which came from the Church of Rome in order to help the general populace of Europe accept that monstrous doctrine of Eternal Torment.
.
In other words, people could just not accept that their unsaved children could be tortured for all time and eternity, thus making God look like a merciless monster!
Alexander Hislop “convincingly” documents in his book, “The Two Babylons”, that “The Trinity” was actually of pagan origin, and actually was the name of a triune pagan fish-diety.
THE DEAD GO STRAIGHT TO HEAVEN OR HELL WHEN THEY DIE. BABYLONIAN/CATHOLIC DOCTRINE
.
Here is another ancient, pagan doctrine, based on wrestling with the Scriptures until many contrary verses are ignored or wrestled away. The fact is, the dead are sleeping in the dust of the earth until the Judgment of the Last Day…
.
Listen…“and there shall be a time of trouble…And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.” Daniel 12:1, 2
When the ancient Babylonians began to build that infamous, “Tower of Babel”, God confused their language, hence the name “Babel”, or, “confusion”, and “Babylon”, that is, “City of Confusion”. Isaiah 24:10
.
Today, we have a modern-day counterpart in the apostate church-world known as “speaking in tongues”.
.
Satan is very pleased to gift this counterfeit “sign and wonder” in which churchgoers speak in gibberish, babbling incoherently under the false notion that they have been filled with the Holy Spirit.
Dear Reader, many teachers may eventually renounce these false doctrines and return to the Lord, it is your responsibility to not wait, but begin as noble Bereans to “search(ed) the scriptures daily to see if these things were so”. (see Acts 17)
Dear Lord…Give me a thorough understanding into just what these things are all about and what my responsibility is, concerning fleeing out of the midst of Babylon…
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 horses 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.
Just a quick examination of today’s world and one might conclude that God is presently withdrawing His protection away from the world and bringing us into Judgment!
.
And this all reminds us of the prophecy found in Revelation…
…”And the nations were angry,
and Thy wrath is come,
the time of the dead,
that they should be judged…”
Revelation 11:18
.
Truly, the nations are angry! Murderous thugs in the Middle East.
.
Violent rhetoric in this land!
.
Rogue religion moving in and taking over Europe!
.
Schools here and abroad now beginning to groom young children into sexually perverted lifestyles!
.
Increasingly insane and hateful voices shouted by the public on social media platforms!
.
Truly, it appears as if the world is going mad!
.
And this is the time for God’s Judgment to begin to fall upon the world!
Well, if there is any Good News, it is just that today is still the day of Salvation!
.
And all those who will take refuge in Christ will do what Isaiah says to do…
“Come, My people,
enter thou into thy chambers,
and shut thy doors about thee:
hide thyself as it were for a little moment,
until the indignation be overpast.
For, behold, the LORD cometh out of His place
to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity:
the earth also shall disclose her blood,
and shall no more cover her slain.”
Isaiah 26:20, 21
.
Yes, it’s time for God’s people to “flee from the wrath” to come and to hide themselves under the protective wings of God, “till the indignation be overpast!” (Matthew 3:7 & Luke 3:7 & Isaiah 26:20)

It is located in the southern sky. (Each night it appears a little earlier, slowly inching westward, through the summer, until it finally disappears below the western horizon in November.)
.
At first, it simply appears as two twin birds flying westward.
.
But if you look once again, it just might appear as a long box-like figure, with one star on the right, as you face it, and two stars on the left.
.
The box, of course would be the Ark, and the stars on either side would represent angels, which are sometimes referred to as stars in the Bible.

Remember all that “Wokeness”, as well as “Cancel-Culture”?
.
Those ideologies were very frightening to many in the Christian Community, making them wonder if those “woke-ones” may soon get around to “canceling” Christians!
And even some of those who have been heavily invested in the so-called “Pre-Tribulation Rapture” are getting very nervous about all this crazy-hate now going on around the world!
.
Yes, it seems as if Jeremiah’s “Cup of Fury” is now being poured out upon the peoples of this world, as is written…
…”For thus saith the LORD God…
Take the wine cup of this fury at My hand,
and cause all the nations…to drink it.
And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad,
because of the sword that I (the Lord) will send among them.
Then took I (Jeremiah) the cup at the LORD’S hand,
and made to drink…all the kingdoms of the world,
which are upon the face of the earth…”
Jeremiah 25:15,17, 26
.
Yes, it sure seems as if all this pandemic madness is the result of God’s cup of wrath, which He long-ago promised to give earth’s last-day inhabitants to drink.
Yes, so often, the things which the lost souls in the world do, can easily be translated into spiritual wisdom and truth.
.
In other words, all this present-day, “Wokeness”, and, “Cancel-Culture”, has an eerie resemblance to what God is wanting His people to do, only in heavenly, spiritual terms.
Yes, should Christians be implementing their own version of these current movements?
.
Listen…“And ye shall make no league
with the inhabitants of this land;
ye shall throw down their altars:”
Judges 2:2
.
Yes, God has been patiently waiting-and-wanting for His people to have their own version of the so-called “Cancel-Culture”.
.
And we can learn a great lesson from their own, wonderful and thorough, canceling process, as they, the unsaved world, stamp out their supposed enemies!
And we need to imitate the world spiritually, even as Paul reveals in 2nd Corinthians 6:14, 17, 18…
…”Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers:
for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness?
and what communion hath light with darkness?
…Wherefore come out from among them,
and be ye separate, saith the Lord,
and touch not the unclean thing;
and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you,
and ye shall be My sons and daughters,
saith the Lord Almighty.”
.
Yes, while the world cancels out its supposed enemies, so also must God’s people spiritually cancel out this world!
.
And while we must do our best to work, eat, and provide for our family’s needs and happiness, we must nevertheless begin our upward, Heavenward pilgrimage out of this “City of Destruction” world.
.
We must cancel it out of our hearts!
(read Bunyan’s “Pilgrim’s Progress” for reference to “City of Destruction”)
.
.
.
.
.
.
“Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light”
Ephesians 5:14
.
And so, it is high-time for God’s people to heed Paul’s admonition…
“And that, knowing the time,
that now it is high time to awake out of sleep:
for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.”
Romans 13:11
.
Yes, we better get ourselves, “Woke”, and begin to cancel out as much of this world from our hearts, before it’s too late.
.
Because Satan’s antichrist world-system is now getting itself, “Woke”.
The first two mountains on the left in this sketch are known are the Mounts of Blessing and Cursing, as found in Deuteronomy 27:11-26 & Chapter 28.
.
The valley between these two mountains is called the Valley of Decision, as is written…
…”Multitudes, multitudes
in the Valley of Decision:
for the day of the LORD is near
in the Valley of Decision.”
Joel 3:14.
.
The Valley of Decision is not a physical place, but a spiritual valley in which each person of the world will make up his or her mind, as to just whom they will serve: God or Satan; God’s kingdom or this world (Satan’s kingdom).
.
From the Mount of Blessing are heard all the blessingswhich result from serving God.
.
From the Mount of Cursing are heard all the curseswhich result from disobedience to God’s will.
.
And those in the valley will listen to both sides, and make up their minds, just who will they serve.
.
A very simple choice, right? Wrong!
.

Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Daily Devotional, Year 4 – June 23 (And The Nations Were Angry! Part 12: “Woke Christians & Heaven’s Cancel-Culture!”)
There are some Bible doctrines which God, for His own purposes, has made cloudy, by writing seemingly opposing verses in the Bible.
.
And so, if a person only looks at the verses which seem to confirm this doctrine of “Eternal Torment”, then it would seem to be a clear-cut case for this long-held traditional church-doctrine.
.
But just like any court case, both sides of the argument must be properly presented, so that the true balance can be weighed.
The Bible warns against adding or diminishing from God’s Word!
.
And those who refuse to examine any doctrine in the light of ALL that Scripture has to offer concerning that doctrine just might be guilty of diminishing from God’s Word.
.
But Scripture warns against doing such a fearful deed…
.
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…”
Revelation 22:18
ABOVE PICTURE: Adding to or taking from God’s Word, the Bible
.

.
.
BIBLE, A HOTLY DEBATED BOOK!
.
And this brings us to a very necessary component to “rightly dividing the Word of Truth!”
.
And just what is this ingredient in achieving true understanding of the cloudier issues of the Bible?
.
Meekness! Yes, it requires meekness to properly understand much of the Bible!
.
Oh yes, there are truths which are made as clear as the noonday sun! Such doctrines as Christ’s divinity and crucifixion, just to name two!
And so, as the last ingredient to proper Bible study, meekness is a very important one!
.
And of course, we know and understand that meekness, just like any other virtue, is a gift of God, via His Holy Spirit indwelling our heart!
.
Oh yes, it’s quite okay to say, “I believe ‘this or that’ particular church doctrine to be true”.
.
But when it comes to such seemingly ambiguous portions of Scripture, such as “predestination” or “The True Nature of Hell”, it might be best to not get so dogmatic!
.
And maybe we might just be forthright and say… “You know, there are differing positions on that heavily debated issue, and each Bible student must carefully and prayerfully study for his or her own self, and come to their own conclusion on that particular subject!”
And let’s face it! There have been many souls through history, who have turned away in disgust from following Jesus, because of the church doctrine of “Eternal Torment”.
.
So, that fact alone makes it much more critical to “make full proof” of whatever we teach, so that we do not suffer the “greater damnation” on the Day of Judgment!
.
.
.
.
.
MEEKNESS REQUIRED IN THE LAST TEST
.
The Book of Zephaniah reveals that meekness will be required for one to be hidden in the day of the Lord’s anger.
.
Listen…“Seek ye the LORD,
all ye meek of the earth,
which have wrought his judgment;
seek righteousness, seek meekness:
it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD’S anger.”
Zephaniah 2:3
.
There is much too much hard-headedness in today’s church-world. Too much forceful, dogmatic preaching by radio/television ministries!
.
And as a result, God’s people must seek to become as little children in their searching after the present-day Bible truths now being revealed.

20+ MINUTE AUDIO JEREMIAH STUDY
.
ALL ‘NOBLE BEREANS’ (open-minded seekers of Bible truth) ARE ENCOURAGED TO BEGIN FOLLOWING THIS 650+ AUDIO BIBLE STUDY THROUGH THE BOOK OF JEREMIAH EACH DAY ON THIS DAILY DEVOTIONAL.
.
THIS IS STUDY #251 PRESENTED BY THE LATE HAROLD CAMPING…
In the July 26th devotional (click here), the eight arms of the Octopus were discussed, and how this sinister-looking creature is a fitting symbol of Satan.
.
And it was discussed how the number, “8”, is the number of the kings of the Antichrist Beast of Revelation 13 & 17.
But the Octopus isn’t the only evil-like creature with eight limbs.
No, spiders also have eight legs, while most other insects only have six.
.
Yes, spiders are also a fitting symbol of Satan, as he weaves his deadly web of sin and deceit for the human race, but especially the Church!
.
And many spiders even wrap their victims in their silken cords, and inject a deadly paralyzing poison into the fly, which turns that six-legged bug into a pulpy liquid.
A new constellation has been revealed, as of about May 29th, 2014.
This constellation appears as a snake.
Its body is comprised of stars from the Bootes Constellation, and its jaws are made of the four stars which Babylonians saw as the head of Draco, the Dragon.
It also has a small single star for an eye.
.
Now in this constellation is a group of five stars, which will be called “The Five Foolish Virgins Stars”.
These are located on the opposite side of the Glorious Crown of 12 Stars, from the Five Wise Virgins Stars.
But one big difference between the two is, that The Five Wise are curved around the Glorious Crown, while the Five Foolish are curved away from it!

Now of course, the Parable of the Good Samaritan teaches us that even those who are secular can perform good works and acts of compassion as did that man from Samaria.
.
Yes, that most infamous of all parables reveals, as the Apostle Peter put it, that “God is no respecter of persons.” Acts 10:34
.
The people of God in that day considered Samaritans to be nothing more than heathen dogs.
And yet, this heathen showed more Christianity than the very ones who were reputed to be God’s representatives on earth!
“If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?”
.
Proverbs 24:12
.
This above proverb has a real-life application as we see so many needy people begging.
Perhaps we might slip some dollars into a Bible tract and give it with a sincere smile.
That money means so much more to those needy ones, than it does to us.

“GOD IS LOVE!”
.
We just have no idea at all how greatly God and His angelic host intercede into the everyday affairs of humanity.
.
Oh yes, we do know that “God is love”, and that,
“He maketh His sun to rise on the evil and on the good,
and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.”
(see 1st John 4:8, 16 & Matthew 5:45)
.
And so, as we look around at the world and see the many acts of kindness, mercy, and even heroism performed by secular unbelievers, it doesn’t necessarily seem to fall into the category of, “a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof:” 2nd Timothy 3:5
Do you see a man with a very long pointed nose? (Obviously, the sketch to the right is just an exaggeration in order to help you find the face in the photo to the left.)
.
Do you see an angry look? His right eyebrow is raised as if he is judging.
.
This second face in the Moon appears to be that of a combination of a man as well as a fox.
Or maybe a wolf.
Doesn’t he have a long narrow nose like a wolf or fox?
Maybe even a dog.
Nevertheless, the expression on his face, as he appears to look down upon the Earth, is that of scorn.
This ‘man/fox/wolf/dog’ appears to be that of anger and scorn.

“I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced;
I sat alone because of Thy hand:
for Thou hast filled me with indignation.”
Jeremiah 15:17
.
.
.
.
.
On the morning of that fearful day, when God destroyed Sodom and its surrounding cities, the main player in that true historical account, Lot, tried to warn his sons-in-law to flee from the wrath to come!
.
But his sons-in-law didn’t believe him! They thought he was just joking!
.
Listen… “And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.” Genesis 19:14
.
Perhaps Lot’s sons-in-law were accustomed to hearing Lot make such mocking jests, previous to this fateful morning!
.
Yes, maybe Lot had a reputation of being somewhat of a joker. Maybe Lot was the type who enjoyed a good gag, previous to this solemn moment! Maybe Lot was the type who enjoyed a good laugh!
.
After all, why else would his sons-in-law conclude his was merely joking?
.
Well, we’ll just have to ask Lot, when we meet up with him someday, what exactly did happen on that frightful morning.
Now, the Bible does not promote being a joker nor a jester! Quite the opposite!
.
Listen… “But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; Neither filthiness, NOR FOOLISH TALKING, NOR JESTING, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks…Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.” Ephesians 5:3, 4, 6
.
Combine this above passage with the following passage from the same epistle… “Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:” Ephesians 2:2
.
Can we see the common thread between these two above passages? The common thread is that both passages are speaking of “children of disobedience”! Yes, those jesters in Ephesians 5:3, 4, 6 are the same group which are indwelt by the “prince of the power of the air…that spirit that now works in the children of disobedience”, found in Ephesians 2:2
.
Now that bit of information should make us think twice about imitating this joking and jesting world!
“I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of Thy hand: for Thou hast filled me with indignation.” Jeremiah 15:17
.
There is so much mocking going on in today’s assemblies, that this above verse from Jeremiah seems to be more relevant today, than when he penned it! Other churches or “cults”, or apostate pastors should be treated with the utmost respect, since they are in darkness, and in need of a Helping Hand!
.
And so, the child of God should stay so far away from mocking others, if for no other reason, than for fear of the fierce wrath of God over such foolery!
.
Listen… “Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.” Isaiah 28:22
.
Yes, as this above verse reveals, many of us are prisoners of our sins, not realizing that our mockery of others has caused the wrath of God to come down upon our heads! Read this important verse once again!
.
.
.
.
.
THE GOOD NEWS
.
Well, if we have fallen into this miry pit, there is still Good News! This is still the day of repentance! Yes, we can still call out to God for forgiveness and deliverance! And we can determine in our hearts to cease from ever making another stupid comment about others, no matter how much we think they deserve it!
.
Listen… “O LORD, rebuke me not in Thy wrath: neither chasten me in Thy hot displeasure. For Thine arrows stick fast in me, and Thy hand presseth me sore. There is no soundness in my flesh because of Thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.” Psalm 38:1-3
.
In this above passage, David is mourning for the results of his foolishness!
.
And likewise, let’s not imagine for even a moment, that we can mock others with impunity!
.
But if I have, and God’s chastening Hand is strong upon me, I can still plead for God’s mercy!
.
And finally one day, I may also say, along with the Psalmist… “A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; and He inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD” Psalm 40:1-3
yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me,
and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:
With hypocritical mockers in feasts,
they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
Lord, how long wilt thou look on?
rescue my soul from their destructions,
my darling from the lions…
Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion
together that rejoice at mine hurt:
let them be clothed with shame and dishonour
that magnify themselves against me.
Let them shout for joy, and be glad,
that favour my righteous cause:
yea, let them say continually,
Let the LORD be magnified,
which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant”
Psalm 25:15-17, 26, 27
.
.
.
.

TODAY’S PRAYER…
“Dear Lord, Help me to get control and complete victory over my tongue! Open my eyes to Your Holy Word, that I might understand just what it says. Give me the joy that is sure to come when I finally do get that victory…
The 3rd face of the Moon is a bit more difficult to locate, because it is mostly upside down. But this photo and this sketch are how this face would appear if it was turned right side up. (In the southern hemisphere, however, this is how the Moon would appear.)
.
The third face is the most difficult to see northern hemisphere, but once you do, it then becomes easy. This face is like a furry creature of the field. Maybe a rabbit. Maybe a squirrel. Perhaps a chipmunk. Probably a mouse. All “seekers”; all foragers or scavengers. And while this picture shows this little “beast of the field” right side up, this 3rd face is always pretty much in an upside down position. The other two faces appear right-side-up, and are easier to locate. This photo and this sketch are both turned around to help you see this 3rd face easily. This enhanced sketch to the above right is merely to help you to see this face more easily. (As already stated, this 3rd face is right side up in the southern hemisphere.)
But this sketch here to the right is how this 3rd face actually appears when the Full Moon is in the east, at the beginning of night, in the northern hemisphere. But all you can readily see is the 1st face.
.
What you must do to see the 3rd face is to tilt your head to the right, 90 degrees.
.
Do you see it? (You may find it easier if you just turn your screen on its left side, if you are using a laptop. But please don’t do anything to put your computer in jeopardy!)
.
The easiest time of the month to actually see this face is when the Full Moon is in the east, just after dark. It then can be seen by tilting your head 90 degrees to the right. But as night progresses, the Moon rotates clockwise, until this face is completely upside down, as the Moon works its way to the west.

This above verse is perhaps the hardest saying in the entire Bible…“Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.” Revelation 3:11
.
And just why could this possibly be the hardest saying in the Bible?
.
Simple! Because it’s so easy to let good things slip away!
“For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again:”
Proverbs 24:16
.
For example, if a Believer decides to adopt the regimen of setting aside three special times a day for prayer, it’s so easy to eventually let these special times slip away.
.
Maybe some crisis occurs, or some lifestyle interruption, or just too many cares and pleasures pile up, causing the Believer to fall off this schedule of thrice-daily prayer-time.
Because, just when we make vows, the Devil often will come along, and patiently draw us back into that old besetting sin, so that all those noble resolutions become like worthless ropes of sand!
For as we allow God to purify us and deliver us from that “Old Man” within, we will find joy, even in the midst of our tears…
“behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;
As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing…”
2nd Corinthians 6:9, 10
.
And so, this seeming paradox of being “sorrowful, yet always rejoicing” will be ours, just as Paul rejoiced in the midst of his trials, if indeed, we allow God’s chastening Hand to continue to do its work in our hearts.
‘They that sow in tears…shall doubtless come again rejoicing!”
.
And one day soon, this next prophecy will find its fulfillment in our lives…
“They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed,
shall doubtless come again with rejoicing,
bringing his sheaves with him.”
Psalm 126:5, 6
.
And once this promise is fulfilled for us, we will never ever compromise with sin again; but we will instead hold fast to, and walk continually by every single “great and precious promise” which the Bible declares!
This constellation was identified on May 22nd, 2014.
It is simply five stars, two from the Serpens Constellation, and three from the Hercules Constellation.

FIVE WISE VIRGINS STARS
.
This constellation was identified on May 22nd, 2014.
.
It is simply five stars, two from the Serpens Constellation, and three from the Hercules Constellation.
.
What gives this constellation impetus and significance is that it appears as five evenly positioned stars, in a slight oval pattern, as if they were sitting in a meeting, listening, or perhaps watching someone.
.
Second, they appear to be gathered in front of The Crown of Revelation 12 Constellation. (just below Corona Borealis in this Wikipedia star-chart, in which the editor of this site sketched in these two constellations)
The position of these stars is significant in a number of ways. The first, being that these Five Wise Virgins are gathered around the 12-star Crown of Revelation 12.
.
And the obvious message here is, that these wise virgins represent the faithful portion of God’s Church.
.
And as wise virgins, they understand the importance of winning the glorious crown of victory, which Jesus promised.
.
Listen…“Know ye not that they which run in a race run all,
but one receives the prize?
So run, that ye may obtain.
And every man that strives for the mastery is temperate in all things.
Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown;
but we an incorruptible.”
1st Corinthians 9:24, 25.
.
And so, God is showing us the difference between the wise and the foolish in His Church.
.
While the wise are gathered around this crown of victory, the foolish are nowhere to be found.

Back in the 1970’s, a certain saying was popularized…“The Devil made me do it! The Devil made me do it!”
.
And this was merely mocking Christians, who were seemingly obsessed with pointing the finger at the Devil.
.
Then this unbelieving world could all joke and mock “the silly and absurd notion” that Satan is a very active and powerful force controlling the peoples of this world, by laughingly saying…“The Devil made me do it! The Devil made me do it!“
But the horrifying fact is, the Devil does indeed cause the vast percentage of the world’s inhabitants to do a great amount of things!
.
After all, Ephesians, Chapter 2 reveals a truth that practically nobody realizes nor accepts! It is perhaps the most egregious truth in all of the Bible!
.
And this verse is, “…the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:”
.
And let’s face it! The idea that the entire world’s inhabitants are filled with this evil antichrist spirit is more than anybody is willing to accept, much less even admit!

Well, it was later discovered that in each case, these persons all claimed to have heard an inner-voice, directing them in what to do or in what to say. (In the case of the preacher, he freely revealed that he was spoken to by an unseen entity who gave him that prophecy.)

THE DEFINITION OF INSANITY?
.
And on a popular daytime secular television talk show, one of the hosts called a well-known political figure, “crazy”, because he believes that Jesus talks to him occasionally.
.
“That’s the very definition of ‘insanity'”, she laughingly remarked.
.
And this kind of thinking should not surprise us.
.
And ol’ Siggy here would, little doubt, whole-heartedly agree with such an assessment!
.
After all, we’re living in a very atheistic society!
.
And so, most people would agree that anyone hearing voices must have some sort of mental illness.
“AND HE HAD POWER TO GIVE LIFE UNTO THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST”
Revelation 13:15
.
So, what’s going on? Was that TV talk show host correct? Are those who hear inner-voices merely crazy?
.
The fact is, that we are now living in a day in which thousands, even millions are claiming that they are hearing a voice which talks to them at times.
.
Is this some sort of mass insanity?
.
.
.
.
.
THE IMAGE GIVEN POWER TO SPEAK
.
And what does the Bible have to say about all this? After all, the Bible is filled with true historical accounts of God speaking to various persons on sundry occasions.
.
The fact is, we are now living in the very day in which the Bible foretold the following…
…”And he (the 2nd Beast of Revelation 13)
had power to give life unto the image of the (1st) beast,
that the image of the (1st) beast should both speak,
and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the (1st) beast
should be killed.”
Revelation 13:15
.
Here is foretold that the day would come in which an image would be given the power to speak.
And anyone familiar with this website probably knows that this talking-image has been identified as being the various high-tech electronic media such as television, Internet, radio.
.
Yes, Satan is now able to project his evil and selfish image through the airways, transferring that image into the hearts and homes of an ever-increasing percentage of the world’s inhabitants.
.
After all, does not the Bible call him, “The Prince of the Power of the Air”? Ephesians 2:2
.
But this talking image of Revelation 13 is not limited to these devices alone.
.
No, Satan has now been permitted to speak directly into the minds of men, women, and even children, leading unsuspecting millions to believe that it is God speaking to them.
.
But it’s not God. It’s the Devil.
.
.
.
.
.
.
SATAN NOW PERMITTED TO SPEAK
.
And that mother was fully convinced that it was God telling her to do the unthinkable to her four precious children, before they reached the so-called, “Age of Accountability”!
.
And that teenager who slaughtered his peers, reveals to police that it was a voice telling him to commit this heinous and horrific act…that it was “a real-life video game”!
.
And that evangelist freely acknowledges that the “Holy Spirit” was giving him that prophetic utterance.

.
ANY GOOD NEWS HERE?
.
So, just what’s the Good News in all this?
.
Well, this is still the day of Salvation. And if anyone is plagued by this false Holy Spirit or any other identified voice in their mind, there is deliverance.
.
And those who are held captive in this web of sin in the form of familiar spirits, are warned to “flee to the mountains”: that is, the spiritual “mountain of His (God’s) holiness”! (Mark 13:14 & Luke 21:21 & Psalm 48:1)
.
And through unceasing prayer and Bible contemplation and total consecration to Christ, that needy soul can be freed from the Antichrist image which has now been given power to speak.

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 7/10 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).

CHRIST OBJECT LESSONS, BY ELLEN G. WHITE
.
ALL ‘NOBLE BEREANS’ (open-minded seekers of Bible truth) are invited to listen to this sampler of the audio book about the Bible’s parables in which Ellen White relates them to every day practical living…
EXCERPTS FROM THE OPEN FORUM QUESTION/ANSWER RADIO TALK-SHOW…
.
ALL ‘NOBLE BEREANS’ (open-minded seekers of Bible truth) are invited to listen to this recording #188, a small 30 minute sampling of the late Harold Camping’s 90 minute nightly talk shows.
.
This particular program aired in the last few years of his 50 year radio ministry, and includes caller’s questions regarding his teachings on “the end of the church age”…
From cradle-to-grave, we are taught that we must depend upon our own strength to get things done!
.
And we are told we must rely upon our own intellect to solve our problems!
.
Yes, this is truly a Rosie-The-Riveter world in which the people attempt to live by their own strength and intellect, instead of trusting in God’s strength and relying on His infinite wisdom!
7 HEADS OF ANTICHRIST BEAST = 7 STARS OF AURIGA CONSTELLATION
.
This Antichrist beast is described in the above passage as having 7 heads.
.
But the Revelation 12 Dragon in the night-sky does not.
.
And so, the question is, “Where are the 7 heads in this Revelation 12 Dragon Constellation?”
.
Simple! The wave of water coming out of the dragon’s mouth is comprised of 7 stars (plus three dim stars, #’s 8, 9, 10, at the very tip of the crest of this wave.)
.
And so, those 7 bright stars represent the 7 heads.
.
And in tomorrow’s devotional, this parallel will be further explored.

Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Daily Devotional, Year 4 – April 12 (It’s A Rosie The Riveter World, Part 6: “1st Head of the Beast: Pride!”)
Many people are dismayed, upset, and perplexed, all because it seems as if destructive forces are breaking down and tearing apart the very backbone and fabric of this society.
.
Even our school systems are becoming lawless by their very wicked policy of grooming small children, encouraging them to embrace sexual perversion.
.
Our government is rapidly bringing itself into financial ruin because of excess spending and endless borrowing.
.
And much of the populace no longer cares for the rule of law, but some are even beginning to engage in mob rule, and occasionally even mob violence!
.
Many judges no longer rule impartially, but according to politics and political correctness.
For example, even among the reputed, “upright” citizens of this society, there has been an erosion of morality.
.
To a large extent, the general populace no longer obeys many of the required ordinances of man.
.
Many seemingly upright citizens will cheat on their income taxes.
.
Many will begin a project around the house which requires obtaining a building permit of some kind, and ignore those requirements because of cost and inconvenience.
.
Many will ignore the laws and speed limits on the streets and highways.
“He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much”
Luke 10:16
.
And so, God looks down on this lawlessness and eventually decides, “to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.“. Jeremiah 17:10
.
God is removing the restraints from Mankind. And that decadent society opens its floodgates to corruption and lawlessness.
.
And that is what we are now seeing in this society!
What must be done is, for any man, woman, or child, who desires to escape the awful judgments of God, to turn away from our own individual lawlessness…
…and then we must pray for God’s chastening Hand to purify us from our iniquity!
This is our only hope!
.
Listen…“Ye adulterers and adulteresses,
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…
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 4:4, 8-10
.
Here is the prescribed remedy for our backsliding ways!
.
And this is not just some 24-hour work! No this is a prescription for a lifetime!
And it will be our joy to enter into this type of relationship with our Lord.
Yes, repentance is a joyful work, even though it may be mingled with many tears…“As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing…” 2nd Corinthians 6:10
“Dear Lord, Help me to escape this awful and fearful judgment which seems to be falling on this society. Let me hide myself in Thy secret pavilion until the indignation be overpast…
In the sketch, it is the farthest mountain to the left.
In the sky, it is the northern-most of these three mountains when facing eastward. It resembles a snowcapped mountain.
Then find the second snowcap to its right (south).
.
Then go a little further south to the next third snowcap which is the Destroying Mountain Constellation.
(of course, you won’t see the snowcaps in the sky. They are just an embellishment in this sketch to present a concept-EDITOR).

THE VALLEY OF DECISION CONSTELLATION GROUP.
.
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) Pegasus (Mount of Cursing (middle mount) & Destroying Mount (right)), and Pisces (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.)

THE DESIRE OF AGES, BY ELLEN G. WHITE
.
ALL ‘NOBLE BEREANS’ (open-minded seekers of Bible truth) are invited to listen to this chapter of the audio book about the Gospel of Jesus Christ in His life and ministry.
EXCERPTS FROM THE OPEN FORUM QUESTION/ANSWER RADIO TALK-SHOW…
.
ALL ‘NOBLE BEREANS’ (open-minded seekers of Bible truth) are invited to listen to this recording #146, a small 30 minute sampling of the late Harold Camping’s 90 minute nightly talk shows. This particular program aired in the last few years of his 50 year radio ministry, and includes caller’s questions regarding his teachings on “the end of the church age”…
Well, the fact is, most of us have been called many derogatory names over the span of our lifetime.
.
Back in our early schooling, some of our less-than-admiring companions may have teased us about some perceived flaw in our looks, personality, or life-circumstances.
“I (Jesus) know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.” Revelation 3:1
.
What a wonderful name! “Children of Light”!
It kind-of makes us feel a responsibility to protect that light within us, doesn’t it?
Well, it should!
After all, there are many ways in this dark old world, in which we might drink in that darkness, isn’t there?
.
And this above verse from Revelation warns that a good name must be protected (“I (Jesus) know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.”)
.
.
.
.
.
DRINKING IN THE DARKNESS
.
Just think of all the things of the world which exude darkness: the various newscasts on TV and radio, for instance, which report one heinous crime after another.
Do we think that has any effect on our Heavenly glow?
.
Well, God thinks it does!
.
Just listen…“Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire (God)?
who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
He that walks righteously, and speaks uprightly…
that stops his ears from hearing of blood,
and shuts his eyes from seeing evil…”
Isaiah 33:14, 15.
.
Well, isn’t that what so much of nightly news is all about: the “hearing of blood” (violence)?
And on TV news, we not only hear about violence, but we get to see it, too!
Dear Stranger & Pilgrim in this world (two more God-given names), instead of watching evil communications, it is our responsibility to reprove all such evil.
.
Listen…“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness,
but rather reprove them.
For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light:
for whatsoever doth make manifest is light…“
Ephesians 5:11-14.
.
Just think, the Bible tells us that it’s a shame to even speak of such hideous crimes we so casually and carelessly watch on TV!
.
.
.
.
.
LIGHT MANIFESTS THE DARKNESS
.
But the good news is, God is also calling us to awaken from our death-like slumber, and He will give us light…
“Wherefore He (God) saith,
Awake thou that sleepest,
and arise from the dead,
and Christ shall give thee light.”
Ephesians 5:14
.
Yes, as this passage, and also the one before it from Ephesians tells us, it is light which makes manifest the darkness of this world (“for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.” Ephesians 5:13).
Therefore, instead of gathering darkness, let us each be light-gatherers! And there is no better way of gathering light, than to behold Jesus, “in the light of His Word”!
(a line from the hymnal song, “When We Walk with the Lord”)
Well, who hasn’t heard of Black Holes in outer space?
.
Just about everybody has!
.
Society is always making mention of Black Holes, telling us that stellar Black Holes are the result of “dying stars”.
.
Of course, the Bible refutes this notion, saying, regarding stars, “not one of them faileth” Isaiah 40:26.
.
And actually, if the science community were to be totally candid, they would confess that because this mysterious phenomenon is so incredibly far-distant, this Black Hole theory is merely a guess.
But because of our rebellion against Heaven, Mankind is always searching for a substitute deity to adore, in attempt to fill that empty black hole in our heart.
.
Well, at least, it seems as though all of these things are true.
.
And it also seems as if many lost souls attempt to substitute the God of Heaven with an earthly replacement, such as a human.
.
Just listen to some of those love songs out there…
…“I will love you always!”
“My love for you is greater than the ocean!”
“You are the sunlight of my soul!”
“Our love will always keep us together…forever!”
.
Yes, humanity wants to turn marital companionship into something much greater: an almost infinite and undying worship of another human!
It has become apparent, on this date, that as summer draws to a close, this “Flower of the Field Constellation”(AKA Sagittarius) appears to bend almost completely down.
.
This occurs as it travels into the western skies. It somehow rotates in order to produce this effect.
.
This is a very wonderful phenomenon…and biblical too!
.
After all, the Bible says, “the grass withers and the flower falls away”.
.
And that’s exactly what this flower constellation seems to do.
.
It almost seems to be bowing itself…in the direction of that bright and beautiful star, “Arcturus” (which represents Jesus).

Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Daily Devotional, Year 4 – March 19 (As The Flower of the Field, Part 15: “Black Holes In Inner-Space: Romantic Idolatry!”)
But the problem with all this theological categorizing is that they are unwittingly adding to the Bible, names which God never named.
.
In other words, just like Abram & Sarai tried to “help God out” by their wicked plan to conceive a child through adultery…
.
…so likewise, today’s theologians try to “help God out” by attempting to analyze the Bible according to fallible, human understanding.
.
But God warns us not to add to His infallible Word, nor diminish ought from that same Word.
.
And so, the Christian must never attempt to add nor take away from God’s finished Word.
.
Oh yes, teachers may attempt to interpret the Bible, as long as we proclaim that our interpretations are not infallible.
.
But the practice of adding non-biblical names to Scripture cannot be biblically supported!
.
.
.
.
.
“If any man…add…God shall add unto him the plagues…herein”
Revelation 22:18
.
But even more than this “adding to and diminishing ought”, these erring teachers now falsely claim that New Testament Christians are not required to obey the so-called civil, ceremonial, and health laws.
.
At best, some might concede, “Well, only the moral law is now to be obeyed by Christians”!
.
This even makes their transgression more grievous to God, and becomes a stumbling block for churchgoers!
.
.
.
.
.
ALL SCRIPTURE TO BE OBEYED!
.
What today’s Bible teachers and theologians do not understand is that the entire Bible is valid for today’s Christian.
.
Listen…“All scripture is given by inspiration of God,
and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction,
for instruction in righteousness:
That the man of God may be perfect,
thoroughly furnished unto all good works.”
2nd Timothy 3:16, 17
.
All Scripture is profitable and very relevant to the Christian and is to be obeyed.
“Yet the LORD hath not given you…eyes to see, and ears to hear” Deuteronomy 24:4
.
Now, this is where the current-day Bible teachers and theologians go wrong.
.
In today’s apostate church-world, there is a spiritual blindness which forbids most of the Christian community from seeing the spiritual nature of the Bible.
.
They do not perceive that the Old Testament is the Gospel of Jesus, howbeit veiled in allegories, proverbs, types, shadows and symbols.
.
Today’s Christian teachers and theologians even forbid Christians from interpreting the Bible spiritually, unless absolutely required.
.
And so, when the Old Testament speaks of earthly things, to a great extent, they cannot see the heavenly meaning.
” Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in…the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt”
.
This above verse speaks of a yearly celebration of Israel’s exodus from their hard bondage in Egypt.
.
But even though Christians do not literally celebrate this feast, we nevertheless are informed by Paul…
“Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven,
neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness;
but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.”
1st Corinthians 5:8
.
This verse reveals the true meaning of the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
.
It actually represents the Christian who shuns all the unbiblical philosophies, false church-doctrines, maxims, traditions, and ungodliness of the world, clinging ever-so tenaciously to the Bible-and-the-Bible-only!
Counting the Sun as the 1st heavenly sphere, the Earth is the 4th heavenly sphere.
.
If we extend our theory (and it’s just a theory) that God created our solar system to correspond to the commandments, the Sun corresponding to the 1st Commandment, then Planet Earth would correspond to the 4th-Commandment: The Seventh-day Sabbath.
.
And so, on the very planet that corresponds to the commandment that exalts the idea of “peace” and “rest”, there exists very little peace.

Now this 2nd Beast of Revelation 13 has two horns.
.
(The 1st Beast mostly being Satan’s tyrannical Church which ruled over Europe and persecuted Christians throughout the hundreds of years of the Dark Ages)
.
Yes, this 2nd Beast has “two horns like a Lamb”. Revelation 13:11
.
And, as already set forth in previous articles, these two Christlike horns represent Jesus, the Lamb of God, with His own two horns of power: mercy and justice…
…”Mercy and truth are met together;
righteousness and peace have kissed each other.”
Psalm 85:10
.
These are the horns of Christ’s divine power and authority.
Now today’s devotional is only concerned with the 6th Head of this 1st antichrist beast (right), which is likewise the Left Horn of the False Prophet 2nd Beast (picture left).
This 6th head corresponds to the left horn which is the “compassionate” horn, counterfeiting Jesus, who, as we know, Jesus was and is the true essence of unpretentious compassion.
Now, having said all this, it must be emphasized that God often works behind the scenes, through all this so-called “compassion”, often making sure that earth’s inhabitants receive the much-needed help and care.
.
And there may indeed be some individuals in whom God is working through, within the humanitarian communities of the world.
.
Therefore, we must not dare to judge the motives of the heart of any one individual!
.
As a whole group? Yes! But never judge any one individual’s heart!
.
But though we might dare to judge the various institutions of society, yet we should always do so “in fear, and in much trembling.” 1st Corinthians 2:3
And yet, in spite of God’s merciful orchestration over these humanitarian entities, overall, the world’s institutions are nonetheless mostly a product of…
…”the prince of the power of the air:
that spirit which now works in the children of disobedience”.
Ephesians 2:2
.
Yes, Satan’s antichrist spirit is now working in the unsaved people of the world.
.
And this “form of godliness” has NOT the true Spirit of love and compassion, but merely a counterfeit version of Heaven’s love and compassion!
“HAVING A FORM OF GODLINESS, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.”
2nd Timothy 3:2, 3
.
Well, time does not permit to enumerate the seemingly countless examples of hypocrisy and selective compassion exercised by this left horn of the False Prophet/Antichrist Beast of Revelation 13.
.
But the point is, that Satan’s counterfeit compassion must be seen for what it truly is: merely “a form of godliness”, ignorantly void of the true Power of Love only found in God’s Holy Spirit!
“CHRIST JESUS CAME INTO THE WORLD TO SAVE SINNERS, OF WHO I AM CHIEF!”
.
Now having said all this, it must also be said that it is a very dangerous undertaking to criticize these institutions.
.
All this must be done with much fear and trembling!
.
After all, the Bible reveals just who is the chief of sinners: “ME!”
.
None of us can hold our head up high!
.
We are all just a band of rotten sinners in desperate need of God’s mercy and grace!
.
.
.
.
.
“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY!”
Proverbs 25:25
.
The Good News is, that it is still the day of Salvation.
.
And those of us who have been deceived can finally turn away from this antichrist world-system, and begin the upward sojourn to the Celestial City of God, where true love and compassion for all, rules supreme!
.
And there will be no more hypocrisy, nor selective compassion (often mingled with selective cruelty).
.
These sorrowful qualities will no longer exist in that wonderful Promised Land of “The New Heaven and New Earth”! (Hebrews 12:22, 23 & Revelation 21:1)
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 Evil Men and Seducers Shall Wax Worse and Worse…”
2nd Timothy 3:13
.
But what most citizens of any immoral nation do not realize is that the abyss of sin is a bottomless pit…
“And he opened the bottomless pit;
and there arose a smoke out of the pit,
as the smoke of a great furnace;
and the sun and the air were darkened
by reason of the smoke of the pit.”
Revelation 9:2
.
This is why we are now witnessing our current western societies sinking deeper and deeper into immorality and self-destruction.
.
Yes, those very nations which once lovingly embraced the Christian Reformation are now suffering the results of their turning away from that great Christian revival.
“As It Was In The Days of Lot… Even Thus Shall It Be…”

And even in the United States, we are seeing the results of our Laodicean lukewarmness.

Yes, just as Lot was vexed on a daily basis by the immorality of his fellow townspeople, so too, we Christians today are vexed by all the corruption and misdeeds of this Sodomitish society.
.
And God has judged we in the Christian community’s enthusiastic pursuit of the many hedonistic pleasures and ambitious attainments which this cornucopian super-society now offers!
.
And as a just recompense, Sodom is now rising up all around us. And the walls of hatred and persecution seem to be closing in on God’s people.
.
Our world has become a great world-indoctrination-machine in which we and our children are being brainwashed on a daily basis by all the mass media.
This horrible judgment was fulfilled on a small scale during the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD, but will be repeated on a massive scale in these last days.
.
And believe it or not, there has even been one or two leading evolutionists recently suggesting such a thing, as if it would be beneficial for our society to engage in!
.
Unbelievable? Yes! But don’t think that the current downward spiral will be like the previous downfalls of past societies!
.
No, the one that is coming will seem like the world has fallen into that bottomless pit…and just keeps falling, down, down, down!
.
In other words, in this final apostasy, God is going to reveal just how unthinkably wicked that sin actually is!
“Flee Out Of The Midst of Babylon & Deliver Every Man His Soul!”
Jeremiah 51:6
.
It is time to flee to the mountains just as surely as Lot fled on the morning of Sodom’s destruction!
.
But in those spiritual mountains it has been promised that
“He (the faithful ones) shall dwell on high:
his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks (of God’s Word):
bread (of life) shall be given him; his waters (of grace) shall be sure.
Thine eyes shall see the King in His beauty:
they shall behold the (Promised) Land that is very far off.”
Isaiah 33:16, 17 (parenthetical comments by website Editor)
.
Yes, God will abundantly supply all our needs according to His riches in glory, as we fearfully, but joyfully, take refuge from the overflowing scourge now coming upon us!
Cassiopeia is the Mount of Blessing. In the sketch, it is the farthest mountain to the left.
.
In the sky, it is the northern-most of these three mountains when facing eastward.
.
Then find the second snowcap to its right (south).
.
Then go a little further south to the next third snowcap.
The third snow-cap is the Destroying Mountain Constellation.
.
These three are the snow-capped portions of these three mountains in this sketch. (of course, you won’t see the snow-caps in the sky. They are, obviously, just an embellishment in this sketch to present a concept-EDITOR).

One of the most amazing creatures ever created is the Cuttlefish!
Actually, it is not a fish, but a type of mollusk, like a squid, or an octopus.
.
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.
.
For instance, if it wants to hide from its enemies, or lie-in-wait for its victims, next to a seaweed, it simply changes its color, spots, and shape to imitate that seaweed.
It can even instantly grow leaf-like appendages to imitate certain seaweeds!
It is nothing short of amazing to hear the amount and degree of hypocrisy, obfuscation, story-spiking, and abject lies, etc., in today’s media, when it comes to anything that may have an effect on politically-divided issues.
.
Very often, it’s almost like the major media has gone completely insane, because of their jealousy for their own political ideology!
It almost seems as though many political radicals might even rather see the entire nation fail, than to lose the slightest political advantage.
.
And as of late, the lying has gotten to the point that it’s become obvious to anyone who hears them!
But amidst all this horrible news, there nevertheless is some Good News!
.
Yes, this is still the day of Salvation!
And anyone who desires to escape the awful judgments now coming down upon the world, still has a chance to escape all these things!
And those who are sick and tired of being possessed by the spirit of lying and error can cry out for God’s mercy and grace!
.
And should God peradventure give us repentance to the acknowledging of the truth, we will then receive the “Spirit of Truth” in which God’s Holy Spirit will come and make His abode in our hearts!
.
And no more will Satan be our father!
But God will now become our Father and give us a love for the truth!

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.

Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Daily Devotional, Year 4 – March 9 (A World of Lies, Part 14: “It’s a Cuttlefish World! Yellow Journalism Today!” FURTHER CONTINUED)
“FROM FAITH TO FAITH…THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH!”
Hebrews 1:18
.
And so, eventually that Believer saw his faith being further strengthened day-by-day, and his murmuring heart eventually quieted, now content to allow God to work through his daily difficulties.
.
And let’s face it! There is nothing like some catastrophic illness, whatever that illness happens to be, to get our attention, that we look up to God for help!
.
And even though God is very concerned about our life here on earth, His greatest desire is to be with us throughout eternity!
.
.
.
.
.
.
OUR DAILY BATTLE
.
Perhaps at the end of each day, maybe while lying down in bed, we need to spend much time thinking back on how we might have overcome that big or little attack by the Devil.
Just what “exceeding great and precious promises” could have been employed, which would have given us the victory over the temptations which assailed us in our daily warfare?
.
Listen…Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises:
that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature,
having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”
(2nd Peter 1:4)
.
Constant learning and hiding of the many Bible promises into our hearts is a critically important part of our daily walk in the Lord!
“WHEN HE HAS TRIED ME, I SHALL COME FORTH AS GOLD!”
Job 23:10
.
Listen to God’s merciful way of dealing with this sorrowful world…
“It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed…
They are new every morning: great is Thy faithfulness…
But though He cause grief…
For He doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men…
Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.”
Lamentation 3:22, 32, 33, 40
.
God takes no pleasure in seeing anybody suffer. It grieves Him to the depths of His heart!
.
But He allows the often-tragic results of this world of sin and rebellion to become His gold-smelting shop, that He might eventually see His glorious Image perfectly reflected in His vessels of purified gold!
And God, being the Searcher of Hearts, sees how much we inherently love this present, selfish world.
.
And so, He must drive out our love for this evil world of sin, with all its earthy pleasures and proud, ambitious pursuits…
“If any man love the world,
the love of the Father is not in him.”
(read 1st John 2:15-17).
.
Thus, God begins a work in many souls, to drive out that innate earthly love.
This is why God allows suffering, sickness, and many sorrows to come upon us, even from birth to the grave.
.
And while it grieves the Lord greatly, to behold suffering, He knows that in the end, these things will purify our hearts, even as precious gold is purified!

TODAY’S PRAYER…
“Dear Lord, Help me to allow this terrible experience I’m going through, to build my faith and trust in Thee, that I may become more-and-more like Jesus…
Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Daily Devotional, Year 4 – March 8 (In Every Thing Give Thanks!?! Part 8: “Cancer, a Faith-building Experience?”)
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!
Charles Manson is the name of a man who arguably has become the chief icon for satanic, cultish evil.
.
According to some insiders, this individual collected a group of societal discards and convinced them to commit a mass murder, all for the purpose of furthering the supposed instigation of a worldwide race-war, which he claimed would be called, “Helter Skelter”.
.
So, just what was Helter Skelter?
.
Manson (according to the book, Helter-Skelter), believed the tensions between blacks and whites in the counter-cultural boiling pot of the 1960’s would erupt into a cataclysmic race-war that would end in the slaughter of nearly all white people.
.
He called this doomsday scenario “Helter Skelter.” This supposed Helter Skelter was Charles Manson’s doomsday fantasy, according to some.
“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
.
Well, so let’s fast-forward to this present day, as this world is witnessing the emergence of a new force, which, for all intents and purposes, seems to be carrying forward Charles Manson’s prophetic vision of an impending, “Helter Skelter” race-war.
.
.
.
.
.
.
And just what powerful entity is carrying forward the evil and terrifying vision of Charles Manson?
Yes, just like Charles Manson, the mainstream media of the United States appears to be instigating its own updated version of Manson’s pandemic race-war vision, but on a far grander scale!
.
Oh…you don’t believe it?
.
Just read the Internet news! They are busily trumpeting stories, daily, designed to stoke the fires of hatred between various groups, even if they have to completely misstate the facts (which they are very willing and eager to do!)
.
.
.
.
.
RACIST-BASED SCHOOL-SYSTEMS
.
And even many public-school systems (and even TV cartoons), besides indoctrinating children into socialism/atheism/sodomy…
.
…are now beginning to teach various subjects all seen through the prism of supposed, “systemic racism”, thereby causing many students to distrust, even despise one-another, based solely on skin-color! (Ol’ Charlie M. could never accomplish such a herculean task like our present-day media and government are doing!)
.
.
.
.
.
“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
.
Now, if the Reader is at all familiar with this website, they have no doubt read that the United States has become the long-ago prophesied, “False Prophet”, with “two horns like a lamb and speaks as a dragon” (Revelation 19:20 & 13:11).
.
How tragic and utterly sad that the very nation which God once blessed to be a safe-haven and refuge from the centuries of tyranny and oppression…
.
…had eventually also become a beast itself, the 2nd Beast of Revelation 13: The False Prophet.
.
Oh yes, maybe we’ve convinced ourselves that our motives are somehow righteously pure. But Satan’s motives are never righteous! Nor are they ever pure!
.
And just like Satan used Charles Manson, he has likewise worked through much of the high-tech media and government to marshal countless followers to bring about a civil race-war!
.
.
.
.
.
“Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made”
Genesis 3:1
.
Well, no human can predict just how the future will unfold. Perhaps the mainstream media, under the rulership of evil angels, will eventually turn their guns in a different direction.
.
As a matter of fact, the Bible prophesies that God’s faithful remnant will become the target of Satan’s supreme hatred in these last hours of world history. And so, this impending race-war may never fully materialize.
.
But one thing is for certain! This False Prophet will continue to speak as a dragon and cause the whole world to bow down to the first beast, ultimately bowing down to “the god of this world”, Satan! (2nd Corinthians 4:4)
.
.
.
.
.
“…and the cities of the nations fell…”
Revelation 16:19
.
And even without a race war, the federal government, the major media, and Internet Goliaths are busily stoking the fires of societal destruction in other areas, such as mob violence, lawlessness, gender confusion, sexual immorality, drug legalization, out-of-control crime, national bankruptcy, socialism, unbrotherly hatred and division. (And all this present-day anarchy and lawlessness may ultimately result in a corrupt, tyrannical, totalitarian police-state!)
.
Compared to the gargantuan efforts of today’s mass-media and internet Goliaths, Charles Manson looked, by comparison, like the proverbial “flea on a camel’s back”!
But amidst this terrible report, there is some extremely Good News! And this Good News is that today is still the day of Salvation!
.
And Heaven is calling every man, woman, and child to forsake this self-destructing antichrist world-system and get-on-board the Heaven-bound Ark!
.
We don’t have to drown in all the hate and division which is now occurring. But there awaits a Promised Land, the “New Heaven, and the New Earth” in which we will live happily ever-after!
Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Daily Devotional, Year 4 – August 8 (Cuttlefish & The False Prophet, Part 14: “And He Spake as a Dragon!” FURTHER CONTINUED “Our Helter Skelter Media!”)
If you look at the spider’s web, you can begin to realize it appears as a 3-dimensional tunnel.
And this so-called tunnel seems as if to deceive the poor little bugs, which unwittingly fly right into the awaiting spider’s trap, thinking they are flying through a tunnel.
.
And in the realm of humanity, there are many ideologies and religions which appear to be a light at the end of the tunnel, but actually are Satan’s deadly trap, to imprison lost souls.
Perhaps the signature song of his band was the rather short tune, “Break on Through to the Other Side”.
This song which he composed was a musical tribute to Aldous Huxley’s Book, “The Doors of Perception”which is said to be a product of and tribute to the so-called enlightening powers of hallucinogenic drugs.
.
Yes, Huxley promised that the use of mescaline, etc., could open the doors of perception within a drug-user’s mind, thrusting him or her into a so-called, “higher realm of thought”.
Thus, it was Huxley’s book (“The Doors of Perception”), which became the brainchild for the formation of Morrison’s band, “The Doors”, as well as this band’s signature song, “Break On Through To The Other Side”.
But in Morrison’s short and tumultuous encounter with world-wide fame and fortune, his out-of-control misuse of alcohol and drugs resulted in his early demise, thrusting him into the exclusive, “27 Forever Club”.
.
Unfortunately for Morrison (plus Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and other out-of-control rockers who also died at the age of 27), he will definitely not be 27 years old forever!
.
No, but rather, Morrison will merely return to, “dust in the wind”, forever, just like every other human who goes to the grave unsaved!
And truth-be-told, Jim Morrison never really broke through to the “other side” (unless of course, one wishes to consider dying as “breaking through to the other side”).
.
Because, what promised to be a light at the end of the tunnel, leading to some sort of utopian realm of thought, Morrison’s drug/alcohol use only became his personal Hell, his prison cell: the prison cell of Satan’s spider-web of sin, which this selfish, antichrist-world-system is.
.
Yes, Morrison became a hopeless slave to alcohol and drugs!
.
.
.
.
.
.
SATAN’S SALESMEN
.
And even though Satan used these two men (Morrison and Huxley) to be spokesmen for his evil ideologies of hullucinogenics, as well as Huxley’s views on Atheism and Socialism, nevertheless, they unknowingly led multitudes of their followers into lives of the slavery and self-destruction resulting from these evil and deceptive pursuits.
.
.
.
.
.
BREAK ON THROUGH INTO EVERLASTING LIFE AND ENDLESS JOY!
.
But there is Good News from a far country!
.
Yes, in spite of the futility of that sad ideology named, “The Doors of Perception”, there does actually exist the opportunity a person to “Break on Through to The Other Side”.
.
You see, the Lord Jesus, The Son of God, provided a way of escape from this hopeless and tragic world of self-destruction and death!
.
That’s right! If a needy soul desires to “break on through”, he or she can cry out to God for Salvation, in which a truly higher realm of faith and love can be achieved, in which a highway leading out of this sad world will appear in the Believer’s mind’s eye…
.
And every enslaved soul can break free of their captivity to sin and selfishness!
.
And not only can we become liberated from every form of enslaving addiction, but we can escape the same fate which Morrison and Huxley eventually suffered: eternal death!
.
Listen to the Bible…
“For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth:
and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create…
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes;
and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying,
neither shall there be any more pain:
for the former things are passed away.”
Isaiah 65:17, 18 & Revelation 21:4
.
Yes, in this joy-filled land, we can live happily ever-after.
And we will never perish, but will be forever young!
Do you see a man with a very long pointed nose. (Obviously, the sketch to the right is just an exaggeration in order to help you find the face in the photo to the left.)
.
Do you see an angry look?
His right eyebrow is raised as if he is judging.
.
This second face in the Moon appears to be that of a combination of a man as well as a fox.
Or maybe a wolf.
Doesn’t he have a long narrow nose like a wolf or fox?
Maybe even a dog.
Nevertheless, the expression on his face, as he appears to look down upon the Earth, is that of scorn.
Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Daily Devotional, Year 4 – March 6 (Look For The Light At The End of the Tunnel! Part 6: “Did Jim Morrison ‘Break On Through To The Other Side’?”)
But the really sad part about all of this is, that we humans have become so callous, blunted, and insensitive to sin that we so often just shrug it off!
.
And in just a moment, we return to our laughing and joking, and mundane chatter, quickly forgetting about these human tragedies in a moment’s time!
.
Yes, living in the midst of this tragic world, our self-absorbed focus silently speaks volumes as we go about our self-seeking ways while tragedy, terror, and human suffering go on all around us!
But things are only going to get continually worse!
.
Yes, the Bible even prophesies that conditions are going to get so horrible that seemingly good and moral women will be engaging in cannibalism their own children, if you can believe that!
Listen…“Shall the women eat their fruit,
and children of a span long?”…
“The tender and delicate woman…
shall eat them [her children]…”
(see Lamentations 2:20 & Deuteronomy 28:57)
.
After all, if God doesn’t allow evil to come into its fulness, we would never really understand just how horrible this world actually is!
Well, the Good News is, that God has provided a way of escape out of this horrible and tragic situation!
.
Yes, the Door of Salvation is still open to one and all!
.
And the invitation yet goes out to any and every man, woman, and child!
.
All those who are sick and tired of living in this filthy world, are welcomed, yes, encouraged, to renounce this kingdom of evil, and join the end-time exodus now going on.
.
.
.
.
.
.
“Unto a land flowing with milk and honey”
Exodus 33:3
.
And soon, very soon, this present earth will pass away with a great noise!
.
But all those who do join this end-time exodus will instead be translated into the long-awaited Promised Land…
…a land flowing with milk and honey, in which…
“…there shall be no more death,
neither sorrow,
nor crying,
neither shall there be any more pain:
for the former things are passed away.”
Revelation 21:4

“Whereby the world…is reserved unto fire against…ungodly men.”
2nd Peter 3:7
.
Of course, the Bible also reveals that the flood of Noah’s day was and is a fitting sign and precursor of the soon-coming Day of fiery Judgment…
“Whereby the world that then was,
being overflowed with water, perished:
is reserved unto fire against the day of judgment
and perdition of ungodly men.”
2nd Peter 3:7
.
And so, considering this above prophecy by the God of Peter, it is more than just a little ironic that the gay community would ever want anything to do with the rainbow as their symbol!
But since the early days of Gay Rainbows, the gay community has now changed from original 6 and 8 colors, to 9-colors, and then to 10-colors, and even 11-colors!
.
And so, it’s not surprising that this Babylon-world-system has decided to change their Gay-Rainbow to 9-colors, then to 10-colors, etc…
.
So confusing!
.
But mankind’s changeable and fickle ways, only make God’s 7-colored rainbow that much more glorious!

Yes, all the sinful/selfish lifestyles of this world will only ultimately bring anger, sorrow, hate, unrest, sickness, suffering, regret, suicidal-thoughts, and ultimately eternal-death!
.
Nevertheless, the Heavenly City of Zion which awaits us is a goodly land in which,
“God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes;
and there shall be no more death,
neither sorrow, nor crying,
neither shall there be any more pain:
for the former things are passed away.”

Now if you will stay up all night, you will see that the tables turn very dramatically for our three warriors.
.
This is because, as night progresses, and this constellation group moves to the west, God has designed this threesome to now be in the opposite circumstance. Now it is Orion and his Horse who are atop the Dragon. Now Orion is about to cut off the Dragon’s head with his two-edged sword, while the Horse is stomping on his tail. And of course, there needs to be no explanation, because this picture tells the whole story. Jesus wins in the end! God’s people are victorious at last!

As one reads or listens to Ellen White’s, “Desire of Ages” chapter, “Among Snares”, it becomes apparent that the very same rascals who sought to ensnare Jesus are still around today.
(scroll to nearly the bottom of this page to listen to Ellen White’s audio version of, “Among Snares”)
“If they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you”
John 15:20
.
And so, don’t be surprised, O Christian soldier, when these same rascals turn their gunsights against the Christian community!
.
Even now, these dishonest ones are beginning to play their deceptive and vicious games against various Christians and their businesses.
.
But in the end, they will meet with the same fate that Christ’s enemies will suffer: they will each stand before the Divine Judge to receive their eternal reward for their misdeeds.
.
Hopefully, they will repent, and plead for Salvation, before it’s too late!
THE READER IS INVITED AND HIGHLY ENCOURAGED TO SCROLL DOWN AND LISTEN TO THE AUDIO READING OF THE CHAPTER, “AMONG SNARES”, FROM ELLEN WHITE’S STORY-FORM BOOK ON THE LIFE OF JESUS, “THE DESIRE OF AGES”.

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).
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 theDragon 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).
