Daily Devotional, Year 4 – April 11

.

Two Turtledoves Constellation!

.

Part 3:

“Forsaking All to Follow Jesus!”

To read Part 1, click here…April 9th (Two Turtledoves Constellation – Two Flying Epistles!)

.

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

then he shall bring for his trespass,

which he hath committed,

two turtledoves, or two young pigeons,

unto the LORD; one for a sin offering,

and the other for a burnt offering.”

Leviticus 5:7

.

THE TWO TURTLEDOVES CONSTELLATION

.

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.)

.

.

TWO TURTLEDOVES IS ALSO THE ARK CONSTELLATION

.

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.

FORSAKING ALL TO BECOME HIS DISCIPLE

.

**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

.

Jesus calls His disciples – Wikigallery.org

.

“there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.”

Proverbs 13:7

.

But even though a follower of Jesus forsakes all, doesn’t mean that he or she is poor!

.

Listen to James 2:5…“Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith…”

.

You see, only a True-Worshiper can understand what it means to be rich in Christ.

.

**Those who have “left all”, to follow Jesus, have embarked on a pilgrimage which leads to eternal life and true riches.**

.

And having eternal life is worth more than all the riches this sin-darkened world could ever offer!

.

On the other hand, the Devil will offer us a religion which falsely promises both Heaven AND this World too!

.

All such religion is worthless, and evil, as well! (See picture to the right)

.

“…and the things of this world will grow strangely dim”

.

No, God may not be calling us to literally give away everything we have.

.

But when we begin that upward heavenly journey, the things of this world begin to lose their luster and value, just like that old song…

.

Listen…

“Turn your eyes upon Jesus,

look full in His wonderful face,

and the things of this world will grow strangely dim,

in the light of His glory and grace.”

.

This old little song really says it all!

.

When we look full into the face of Jesus, the things of the world lose their hold on us!

.

The things of the world just don’t mean so much anymore, compared to the everlasting riches which are awaiting ahead!

Daily Devotional, April 1, Year 4 (Jeremiah & the Smooth Prophets, Part 1)

By admin On April 11th, 2021

Daily Devotional, April 1, Year 4

.

***Jeremiah &* *the Smooth Prophets,***

.

Part 1

.

“For the time will come

when they will not endure sound doctrine;

but after their own lusts

shall they heap to themselves teachers,

having itching ears;

And they shall turn away their ears from the truth,

and shall be turned unto fables.”

2nd Timothy 4:3, 4.

.

In this above passage, the Lord is foretelling of a day when the churches will no longer tolerate the true and uncompromised Gospel.

.

**And there are many today who believe that we have already come to demand an “itching ears”, prosperity-filled gospel.**

.

We merely want our ears tickled with a non-condemning, non-threatening, and entertainment-filled gospel!

.

.

JEREMIAH’S DAY

.

So, what happened?

.

Why has the church-world come to the same fate as the Old Testament people of God?

.

Listen…

“Then Hananiah the prophet…spake,

saying, Thus saith the LORD…

I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon

from the neck of all nations

within the space of two full years…”

Jeremiah 28:10, 11

.

You see, Jeremiah was warning God’s people that they would soon be taken captive in Babylon for 70 years.

.

But the false prophets were prophesying just the opposite!

.

They were prophesying “peace and safety”! (1st Thessalonians 5:3)

.

Prophet Jeremiah – www.christianimagesource.org – Public Domain

.

PROPHESYING SMOOTH THINGS

.

And in this above passage, the false prophet, Hananiah, was likewise misleading God’s people, telling them that Jeremiah was the one who was lying!

.

They were telling the people what they wanted to hear!

.

Yes, the people were listening to an “itching ears” gospel by those prophets prophesying “smooth things”!

.

And as you can see in this picture, Jeremiah was devastated by the eventual destruction of Jerusalem!

.

.

ENTERTAIN US! DON’T CONVICT US!

.

To die with Jesus is totally unacceptable, when there’s so much to enjoy in this self-focused world!

.

We want happy things!

.

Things that will not condemn us!

.

Soothing things!

.

Pleasant things!

.

We desire to hear “peace & safety”! (1st Thessalonians 5:3)

.

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!

.

.

THE WISE DON’T MIND REBUKES!

.

Listen… “rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

Give instruction to a wise man,

and he will be yet wiser:

teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.”

Proverbs 9:8, 9

.

Yes, a wise man doesn’t mind a rebuke!

.

He (or she) knows that it will only make one wiser to hear constructive criticism!

.

Now a fool is a different story!

.

Listen to this proverb, as it speaks of scorners… “Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee:” Proverbs 9:8

.

High and Mighty Trailer Screenshot – 1954 – Wikipedia – Public Domain

.

OUR JOY-FILLED DESTINATION!

.

Yes, we live in a very unhappy world!

.

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’!

THE END

TODAY’S HEAVENLY SIGN

.

“FAITHFUL ARE THE WOUNDS OF A FRIEND”

Proverbs 27:6

.

You will notice a big bruise on this “Man in the Moon”.

.

His right cheek looks like it has a big bruise on it.

.

That reminds us of the following verse…

…”But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil:

but whosoever shall smite thee on thy RIGHT CHEEK,

turn to him the other also.”

Matthew 5:39.

.

**And just as this verse says ” turn to him the other also”, so too, our nocturnal friend likewise is turning his other cheek.**

.

This is a big statement that God is making about how important is this Bible principle of “turning the other cheek”!

Daily Devotional, Year 1 – February 26th

.

“Here Come the Thought Police!”

.

Part 1

.

“But that it spread no further among the people,

let us straitly threaten them,

that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.

And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all

nor teach in the name of Jesus”

Acts 4:17, 18

.

In George Orwell’s little book, 1984, he presented a world in which the rulers had succeeded in complete totalitarian control over the masses.

.

And there were even “Thought Police” to control the people’s thoughts.

.

.

THE THOUGHT POLICE HAVE FINALLY ARRIVED!

.

Well, about the only thing that Orwell had miscalculated in this predictive novel was the date for this super-society to come into reality.

.

He was about 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.

.

THE NEW LAWS SAME AS THE OLD LAWS

.

FREE SPEECH ENDS WHERE IT BEGAN?

.

It is more than just a little ironically strange and weird that in the very place which became the centerpiece for the modern-day protection of “freedom of speech”…

.

**…has now transformed into an anti-free-speech indoctrination camp!**

.

And perhaps even stranger, the very same political group who have long prided themselves as being the arbiters and protectors of that freedom…

.

…are the very same political group who are applauding any media outlet or violent mob which squelches the free speech of their political foes!

.

THE BIBLE FORETOLD OF THIS DAY!

.

It’s truly frightening to see all this totalitarianism being ratcheted up so swiftly.

.

But the Bible foretold that this day would finally arrive…

…”And that no man might buy or sell,

save he that had the mark,

or the name of the beast,

or the number of his name.”

Revelation 13:17

.

Now, this verse by itself may not give us enough understanding into the current-day phenomenon of censoring.

.

Duct Tape Mouth – cropped image – Wikimedia – Share-alike license

.

“Buy the truth, and sell it not!”

.

But this next verse complements the previous verse found in Revelation 13:17.

.

This complementary verse is found in Proverbs 23:23…

…”Buy the truth,

and sell it not;

also wisdom,

and instruction,

and understanding.”

.

Now from this and other similar verses, it is revealed that “buying and selling” actually has much to do with preaching the Gospel of Jesus.

.

And so, the Bible prophesied that the day would come when the true and unvarnished Word of God would be cut off…“And that no man might buy or sell (the truth)”.

(parenthetical comment by website editor)

.

.

THE “GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY”

Proverbs 25:25

.

But the Good News in all this coming totalitarianism, is that God’s Word is still available to read!

.

And most everyone is familiar with this next quote from the lips of Jesus…“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32

.

Yes, the continuing search for knowledge of the Bible and the Bible’s Jesus will make us free indeed!

TODAY’S HEAVENLY SIGN

.

“WOMAN ON THE ALTAR” CONSTELLATION…

.

**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 now appears like smoke or incense rising from the altar.

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – August 10

.

“Come Out of Her, My People!”

.

Part 61:

“Am I A Teacher of Babylon?”

To read Part 1, click here…May 12th (Come Out of Her, My People! Part 1)

.

“For false Christs and false prophets shall rise,

and shall shew signs and wonders,

to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect…

.

…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”

.

by G. Dore’ – The Confusion Of Tongues in Babylon – from www.creationism.org-public domain

Satan presiding at the Infernal Council – Wikipedia – US Public Domain

.

HOW CAN WE KNOW THEM?

.

But how in the world can a Bible teacher be considered “a teacher of Babylon”?

.

Simple! Instead of teaching from the Bible only, all such teachers can be recognized by means of their unbiblical teachings.

PRETRIBULATION RAPTURE: CATHOLIC DOCTRINE

.

For example, many of today’s Bible teachers have accepted what is tagged as “The Futurist View of Revelation”.

.

This rather new theology from the 1800’s claims that God’s Elect will be literally snatched away from earth prior to a literal 7-year tribulation.

.

And during this 7-year period they will be dis-embodied spirits while God punishes the unbelieving world, who were “left behind”.

.

“The Rapture” is actually a non-biblical name which Darby/Scofield came up with by wrestling with Scripture.

.

And this website has many articles regarding this false “Rapture” doctrine, such as… JANUARY 25 (The Pre-Trib Rapture)

.

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 tyrannical monster in the eyes of the unsaved public.

Well, these are just two Babylonian teachings which the church-apostate is now teaching.

.

But here are a few more tell-tale false doctrines from Babylon…

.

by G. Dore’ – The Confusion Of Tongues in Babylon – from www.creationism.org-public domain

.

ALLEGORICALLY CHALLEGED BIBLE TEACHERS

.

A general consensus among most Bible teachers is that Christians must not attempt to interpret the Bible allegorically, but only literally, unless context absolutely demands an allegorical interpretation.

.

But nowhere in Scripture is such a command given!

.

This false doctrine is simply the product of mere erring theologians.

.

To explore this false doctrine, the Reader may click here to read…“February 2 (Strong Delusion in Scripture, Part 5: “The Great Hermeneutic Scam!”)”

.

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 actually says just the opposite…“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)

.

This false teaching, a glaring example of phariseean self-righteousness, has been spotlighted in such articles as…March 9th (Free-will? What Free-will!?)

.

CHRISTMAS, EASTER, SUNDAY SABBATH: BABYLONIAN/CATHOLIC DOCTRINES

.

These false pagan holy-days have their roots in ancient Babylon, as documented in Alexander Hislop’s masterpiece book, “The Two Babylons”.

.

And this website has much to say as well, concerning these Babylonian and/or, Catholic doctrines…February 25 (Come Out of Her, My People! Part 40: “Christmas With, ‘Another jesus’: Babylonian Holidays”)

.

THE AGE OF ACCOUNTABILITY: CATHOLIC DOCTRINE

.

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!

.

.

THE TRINITY: BABYLONIAN/CATHOLIC DOCTRINE

.

Alexander Hislop “convincingly” documents in his book, “The Two Babylons”, that “The Trinity” was 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

.

SPEAKING IN TONGUES: BABYLONIAN BABBLING

.

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.

.

READ SUCH ARTICLES AS…APRIL 24 . . . . Come Out of Her, My People! Part 10: “Babylonian Babbling”

.

But here is just one more proof that today’s churches have become spiritual Babylon.

.

by G. Dore’ – The Confusion Of Tongues in Babylon – from www.creationism.org-public domain

.

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)

TODAY’S FEATURED SIGN

.

THE HOLY GHOST RIDER CONSTELLATION

.

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.

.

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – August 21

.

And The Nations Were Angry!

.

Part 11:

“Ring Around The Rosies…We All Fall Down!”

To read Part 1, go here…October 24th (And The Nations Were Angry!)

.

Do you remember that old nursery rhyme song, “Ring Around The Rosies”?

.

Listen…“Ring-a-round the rosie,
.

A pocket full of posies,
.

Ashes! Ashes!
.

We all fall down.”

.

Well, many of us sang that little song when we were just very young.

.

After all, it seemed harmless enough.

.

A happy little ditty!

.

Right?

.

.

THE BLACK DEATH!

.

Well, legend has it that this little children’s rhyme came out of the Great Plague era of London, otherwise known as The Black Death!

.

And its “innocent” little words are poetically describing the various details of that plague!

.

**For instance, “Ring around the rosie” was purportedly speaking of the color of the skin just prior to the plague breaking out.**

.

And posies were commonly carried about by the people to hopefully ward off that plague, and cover the disease-smell with a perfumed scent.

.

When the words “we all fall down” speaks of the totality of that disease, as it eventually killed off many citizens.

.

And finally, when those words were sung, the last one to fall down was eliminated from the game.

.

.

“AND THE NATIONS WERE ANGRY!”

.

Now back to our current times.

.

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!

.

.

“the plague thereof was exceeding great.”

Revelation 16:1

.

Yes, it is now time for Judgment Day to come into its fullness!

.

And so, there is coming an even greater and more horrific plague than the Black Death Plague of London.

.

Yes, the Bible warns us…“and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time!” Daniel 12:1

.

And the coming plagues which the Bible forecasts, may just make that Black Death Plague of London look like the proverbial “walk in the park”!

.

And these plagues will not be only in London, but all over the world!

**“A thousand shall fall at thy side“**

.

Listen to Psalm 91:5-9…

“Thou (the Christian) shalt not be afraid for the terror by night;

nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness;

nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

A thousand shall fall at thy side,

and ten thousand at thy right hand;

but it shall not come nigh thee.

Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold

and see the reward of the wicked.”

.

Here is a really grim scenario of how the world will end up in these last days.

.

.Judgment Day – by sweet media – cropped – Wikimedia –

.

“Flee from the wrath to come!”

Matthew 3:7 & Luke 3:7

.

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)

THE END

TODAY’S FEATURED SIGN

.

THE ARK IN THE HEAVENS

.

So, what importance to us is all this information?

.

**Well, if a person goes out at night, beginning in April (earlier in southern-most latitudes, and later in northern-most), in the pre-dawn hour…**

.

**…they just might locate the constellation commonly referred to as the Sagittarius Constellation.**

.

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.

.

Star-chart to right is from Wikipedia. Editor has sketched over Sagittarius to show this Ark Constellation.

.

And The Nations Were Angry!

.

Part 12:

“Woke Christians & Heaven’s Cancel-Culture!”

(To read Part 1, go here…October 24th (And The Nations Were Angry!)

.

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!

“HAS ‘THE TIME OF TROUBLE’ ALREADY BEGUN?”

**Many are wondering if that long-awaited day “draweth nigh”, which the Bible refers to in the following prophecy…**

…”And at that time shall Michael stand up,

the great prince…

and there shall be a time of trouble…”

Daniel 12:1

.

Certainly, it’s beginning to look that way.

GOD’S CUP OF FURY NOW BEING POURED OUT?

.

**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…”

Jeremiah 25:15,17, 26 (Condensed)

.

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.

LEARN FROM THE WORLD

.

But we must remember that…

“the children of this world

are in their generation wiser

than the children of light.”

Luke 16:8

.

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.**

.

.

“Woke Christians & Heaven’s Cancel-Culture!”

.

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!

.

.

“COME OUT OF HER (BABYLON), MY PEOPLE…”

Revelation 18:4

.

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 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 THIRD MOUNTAIN…CHOICE ‘C’…

.

“Behold, I am against thee, O destroying mountain, saith the LORD,

which destroys all the earth:

and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee,

and roll thee down from the rocks,

and will make thee a burnt mountain.”

Jeremiah 51:25

.

These three mountains are called “The Valley of Decision Constellation Group”.

.

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 blessings which result from serving God.**

.

**From the Mount of Cursing are heard all the curses which 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!

Today’s Devotional – September 10th

.

Eternal Torment?

.

Part 3:

“Meekness”

To read Part 1, click here…September 8th (Eternal Torment?)

.

TWO SIDES OF THE SAME STORY

.

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.

.

.

ADDING/DIMINISHING FROM GOD’S WORD

.

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!

.

Holy Bible – cropped image – Wikimedia – Creative Commons Lic.

.

***THE MEEK SHALL* *INHERIT THE EARTH!***

.

And so, all human pride must be purged from the heart of the Christian, before that soul can be easily led by the Good Shepherd!

.

Listen… “…but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at My Word.” Isaiah 66:2

.

David’s sorrow – cropped image – Wikigallery – Public Domain

.

LET’S NOT BE SO DOGMATIC!

.

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!”

.

.

***MANY REJECTED GOD* *OVER THIS DOCTRINE***

.

**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.

7 STARS IMITATE THE CROSS OF ORION

.

LOCATING THESE TWO CONSTELLATIONS

.

This phenomenon begins in October, in the pre-dawn hours. It then begins a little earlier each night.

.

This Wikipedia star-chart to the left, has this Orion Constellation sketched in.

.

**You must locate Orion, when it is mid-sky, between east and west. You’ll be facing southward most likely, unless you are far south.**

.

**Try to imagine it as a Cross on a steep hill. The 3-star belt of Orion becomes the crest of the hill.**

.

**The 3 very faint stars that make up Orion’s head become the very top of the Cross.**

.

**Next, locate the 7 Stars Constellation.**

.

**This 7 Stars Constellation is seen by facing northward. It stands upright a little later in the night.**

.

**Eventually, Orion will lay down and no longer be seen as an uplifted Cross!**

.

**Beginning in November, the 7 Stars (AKA Big Dipper) can be seen as a Cross a little bit later in evening.**

.

**When you are comfortable in locating Orion & The 7 Stars Constellations, then show a friend. This can be a great witnessing tool!**

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – February 5

.

How a Joke Killed!

.

Part 4:

“Mocking Others! Not Good!”

To go to Part 1, click here… ” JANUARY 10th (How a Joke Killed!)”

.

“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.

.

Picture – Lot Escapes Sodom – www.thebiblerevival.com offers free Bible clipart – Public Domain.

.

FOOLISH TALK & JESTING

.

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!

.

.

GOD’S WRATH UPON MOCKERS

.

“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!

.

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

.

.

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 SEEKER (THE SADDUCEE)

.

LOCATING THIS 3RD FACE

.

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 (below right) are how this face would appear if it was turned right side up. (In the southern hemisphere, however, this is how the full Moon actually appears.)

.

The 3rd face is the most difficult to see in the 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 and 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 appears right side up in the southern hemisphere.)

.

The Revelation 12 Crown Constellation,

.

Part 2:

“Hold Fast To What Thou Hast!” CONTINUED

To read Part 1, click here…January 15 (The Revelation 12 Crown Constellation, Part 1: “Hold Fast To What Thou Hast!”)

.

“Behold, I come quickly:

hold that fast which thou hast,

that no man take thy crown.”

Revelation 3:11

.

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!

.

Transfiguration – Bloch – Wikimedia Commons – US-public-domain

.

“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.

.

.

CREEPING COMPROMISE

.

Quite often, the Believer will be tempted into a certain bad habit or nagging sin.

.

And he or she decides to compromise by allowing some seemingly lesser substitute instead.

.

Maybe that Believer tries to overcome the temptation to drink by only allowing himself to drink “Near-Beer”.

.

Or a former cigarette addict decides to overcome the temptation to go back to smoking, by substituting with e-cigarettes.

.

Or he decides to once-again go back to watching “just a little television”.

.

In each case, such tempted ones will eventually fall back into the real thing!

.

The “Near-Beer” drinker will most likely find himself back to drinking the real thing.

.

And the e-cigarette smoker, in a moment of weakness, will light up a real cigarette.

.

And the television watcher will find himself watching more and more programs.

.

.

“The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways:”

.

The Bible clearly teaches…“The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways:” Proverbs 14:14

.

**Yes, God sees right through our hearts. He knows that we may still be secretly, even unconsciously harboring lust for this-or-that pleasurable sin.**

.

And so, in His mercy, He will sometimes allow the Devil to sift us as wheat, just as he did to Peter on the night he denied His Lord.

.

And God may just decide to allow our sins to fester out like Job’s sore boils, causing us to completely fall back into our old sins.

.

And so, we must decide to never allow ourselves to capitulate with temptation!

.

Job – Wikimedia – Public Domain

.

“…They hid for me their net in a pit”

Psalm 35:7

.

But here is where it becomes really difficult!

.

Because, just when we make vows, the Devil often will come along, and patiently and gradually draw us back into that old besetting sin, little-by-little, so that eventually all those noble resolutions become like worthless ropes of sand!

.

.

“That ye put off concerning the former conversation (lifestyle) the Old Man”

Ephesians 4:22

.

So, what’s the answer? How can we overcome our “Old Man” who desires to regain control of our life and soul?

.

Listen to James 4:6-10…

…”Wherefore He saith, God resisteth the proud,

but giveth grace unto the humble.

Submit yourselves therefore to God.

Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you.

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.”

.

This above prescription for spiritual victory is not just for a night, or a week, but is for a lifetime.

.

Yes, until we fully overcome the world, the flesh, and the Devil, we must take on this type of repentance and seeking after God’s mercy and grace.

.

“As sorrowful yet alway rejoicing!”

.

But do not despair, O tried and tempted one!

.

**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 patiently allow God’s chastening Hand to continue to do its work in our hearts.

.

Paul Shipwrecked – Acts 27:41-44 – www.lavistachurchofchrist.org – Public Domain

.

‘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!

TODAY’S HEAVENLY SIGN

.

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)

.

ABOVE STAR-CHART – Summer constellation – Five Wise Virgins Stars & The Glorious Crown – Corona Borealis – signsofheaven.org – Not for profit uses! – Wikipedia Star chart with constellations drawn in by this website.

.

GATHERED AROUND GLORIOUS CROWN!

.

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 receiveth the prize?

So run, that ye may obtain.

And every man that striveth 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.

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – May 28

.

The Revelation 12 Crown Constellation,

.

Part 3:

“Hold Fast To What You Have!” CONTINUED

To read part 1, click here…January 15 (The Revelation 12 Crown Constellation, Part 1: “Hold Fast To What Thou Hast!”)

.

“The backslider in heart

shall be filled with his own ways:”

Proverbs 14:14

.

In Part 1 of this “Hold Fast To What You Have!” devotional (click here), it was presented just how critically important it is to hold fast to the good habits and virtues which Heaven blesses Believers with.

.

But before the reader is left worrying that God is ready to grab away a Believer’s crown…

.

…this 2nd installment will be offered to present the manner in which the Lord works within the hearts and lives of His people, the true worshipers of God.

.

FILLED WITH OUR OWN WAYS!

.

Listen again to the signature verse for today’s devotional…“The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways:” Proverbs 14:14

.

Now, many Bible students reading this might get the idea that this is speaking of the secular world.

.

Or maybe that it also includes the false brethren in the Church.

.

But this above verse, while it may indeed include those other two groups of people, deals primarily with those who are the chosen people of God!

.

.

LUKEWARM LAODICEANS

.

Listen to this next passage to the Church at Laodicea…

“I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot:

I would thou were cold or hot.

So then because thou art lukewarm,

and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of My mouth…

I counsel thee to buy of Me gold tried in the fire,

that thou mayest be rich…”

(Revelation 3:15-18 click here to read the entire passage)

.

This is not speaking of merely those who are lost souls in the Church.

.

No, but rather, Christ is speaking to the angel of this Lukewarm Church.

.

He is counseling true worshipers to buy from Him, “gold, tried in the fire”!

.

Revelation – cropped photo – Wikimedia – courtesy www.pre.org

.

So, the next question to be asked is this: “What gold and what fire?”

.

Question Mark – Wikimedia – Public Domain

.

GOD, A REFINER OF SILVER AND GOLD

.

Well, just listen to this next passage from Malachi 3:2, 3…

…”But who may abide the day of His coming?

and who shall stand when He appears?

for He is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap:

And He shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver:

and He shall purify the sons of Levi,

and purge them as gold and silver,

that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.”

.

**Here God reveals Himself as a refiner of silver and gold. And all this in reference to the “sons of Levi”.**

.

.

**So just who are these “sons of Levi” spoken of in this above passage?**

.

.

THE CHURCH: A “ROYAL PRIESTHOOD”

.

**Well, let’s allow Peter to answer this question regarding the “sons of Levi”…**

.

**Listen…*“But ye are a chosen generation,***

a royal priesthood,

an holy nation,

a peculiar people;

that ye should show forth the praises of Him

who hath called you out of darkness

into His marvellous light:”

1st Peter 2:9

.

Oh, so now it becomes apparent that New Testament Believers are God’s royal priesthood in these last days (and all through New Testament times).

.

**And so, just how may we get a better understanding of this purifying fire which God sends His people, “the sons of Levi”, through?**

.

THIS DEVOTIONAL WILL BE CONTINUED TOMORROW (CLICK HERE).

THE END

.

TODAY’S HEAVENLY SIGN

.

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)

.

ABOVE STAR-CHART – Summer constellation – Five Wise Virgins Stars & The Glorious Crown – Corona Borealis – signsofheaven.org – Not for profit uses! – Wikipedia Star chart with constellations drawn in by this website.

.

GATHERED AROUND GLORIOUS CROWN!

.

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.

.

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – May 18 (The Devil Made Me Do It! Part 29: “When The Devil Whispers ‘Murder!'”)

By admin On April 7th, 2021

.

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – May 18

.

The Devil Made Me Do It!

.

Part 29:

“When The Devil Whispers ‘Murder!'”

To read the first part of this topic, go here…March 18 (The Devil Made Me Do It! Part 5: “Satan’s Army of Mockers!”)

.

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!***“

.

NEWS FLASH! “A ‘Pastor’ convinces his flock of the heretical “Age of Accountability” church-doctrine, causing one deceived mother to drown her four young children, believing they’ll automatically go to Heaven!”

.

NEWS FLASH! “Teenager walks into a school and shoots several dozen students, thinking he’s playing one of his video games!”

.

NEWS FLASH! “Preacher makes prophetic prediction about some supposed future event!”

.

.

INNER-VOICES

.

So just what did these three completely separate news stories all have in common with each other?

.

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.

.

Sigmund Freud – founder of psychoanalysis, LIFE – Wikipedia – US Public Domain

.

“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.

.

.

MASS HIGH-TECH BRAINWASHING

.

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.

THE END

.

TODAY’S HEAVENLY SIGN

.

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).

.

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – April 12 (It’s A Rosie The Riveter World, Part 6: “1st Head of the Beast: Pride!”)

By admin On April 7th, 2021

.

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – April 12

.

It’s A Rosie The Riveter World,

.

Part 6:

“1st Head of the Beast: Pride!”

To read Part 1, go here…November 5th (Rosie the Riveter World)

.

“An high look, and a proud heart,

and the plowing of the wicked, is sin”

Proverbs 21:4

.

**It’s a Rosie-The-Riveter world!**

.

Well, isn’t it?

.

It’s an “I Can Do It!” world.

.

Well, don’t you believe it?

.

Okay, so that’s a bold statement.

.

But just look around at this world!

.

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!**

.

We Can Do It! Rosie the Riveter – Wikipedia – public domain

.

EVE, THE ORIGINAL ROSIE

.

**And it’s been a Rosie-The-Riveter world for a very long time!**

.

**It’s an “I can do it” world!**

.

Even far back in the Garden, when the Tempter enticed the woman, it was concerning the issue of her desiring to be like God.

.

She didn’t want to trust in God.

.

Instead, she merely wanted to do things by her own strength and under her own intellect and wisdom.

.

**Yes, in a very real sense, Eve was the very first Rosie-the-Riveter! She was the very first “I can do it” individual!**

.

Eve – Tizian – Wikipedia – Public-dom

.

“THE PRIDE OF LIFE”

.

But just what is it that causes all this attitude of, “I can do it”?

.

Well, perhaps the greatest motivator is pride.

.

After all, we live in a world filled with the pride of life…

…”Love not the world…

For all that is in the world,

the lust of the flesh…(and) eyes,

AND THE PRIDE OF LIFE, is not of the Father,

but is of the world.”

1st John 2:15, 16

.

Here we have it! Pride is one of the three great sins of Mankind!

.

**Oh yes, there are other factors which contribute to our “I can do it” attitude, such as “unbelief in God’s promises”.**

.

We Can Do It! Rosie the Riveter – Wikipedia – Public Domain

.

“I (Lucifer) will exalt my throne above the stars of God”

Isaiah 14:13

.

But why we should be surprised that selfish human pride is perhaps the world’s greatest quality?

.

After all, Lucifer, now serving in the official role of, “Satan”, was cast out of Heaven because he too, like Eve, wanted to be like God.

.

His proud heart was not content to be merely a worshiper of God, but to be worshiped and adored himself!

.

**And as “the god of this world”, Satan’s Antichrist spirit now indwells the inhabitants of this, his own proud and selfish little world.**

.

Satan presiding at the Infernal Council – Wikipedia – US Public Domain

.

THE SIGNS OF HEAVEN

.

Well, our infinite God knows “the end from the beginning”. Isaiah 46:10

.

And long ago, on Creation Week, God inscribed the Gospel in picture form upon the black scroll of the night sky.

.

And just now, prior to the end, God is revealing this pictorial Gospel to the human race.

.

.

THE REVELATION 12 DRAGON

.

Now, if one looks at the Winter Constellations, a great dragon constellation can be seen.

.

And this dragon is a composite of various Bible passages, such as Revelation 12, which speaks of…

…”another wonder in heaven;

and behold a great red dragon,

having seven heads and ten horns,

and seven crowns upon his heads…

And…out of his mouth water as a flood…”

Revelation 12:3, 15

.

Revelation 12 Dragon – Winter – Hyades, Pleiades, etc…

.

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.

.

ABOVE STAR-CHART – Dragon of Revelation 12 Constellation Wave (Auriga Constellation + 1 star from Taurus)

.

“For the day of the LORD of hosts

shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty,

and upon every one that is lifted up;

and he shall be brought low”

TODAY’S HEAVENLY SIGN

.

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

.

“And there appeared another wonder in heaven;

and behold a great red dragon,

having seven heads and ten horns,

and seven crowns upon his heads.”

Revelation 12:3

.

**In Revelation, the Dragon of Revelation 12 is described as having seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns.**

.

**However, the Dragon Constellation up in the night sky does not.**

.

But God has faithfully created the wave of water, in such a way, as to illustrate this same concept of the seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns.

.

Because this wave of water is basically composed of ten stars.

.

**The main body of the wave has seven stars (#‘s, 1 thru 7).**

.

**And the tip of the crest of the wave has the other three stars (#’s, 8, 9 & 10).**

.

So, we have this 7 and 10 numbering.

.

And this gives us a great clue, as to where in the Bible we should look, to find out the riddle as to just what or who do these 7 heads, 10 crowns, and 7 horns represent.

.

Because, the Bible speaks very much about floods and waters as being associated with Satan (the Dragon).

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – April 6 (Taking Back This Nation For God! Part 15: “Why All The Lawlessness?”)

By admin On April 6th, 2021

.

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – April 6

.

Taking Back This Nation For God!

.

Part 15:

“Why All The Lawlessness?”

To read Part 1, click here…“March 28th (Taking Back This Nation For God!)”

.

“The wicked shall be turned into Hell,

and all the nations that forget God”

Psalm 9:17

.

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.

.

.

“but I will recompense thy ways upon thee”

Ezekiel 7:4

.

So what is the problem? Why do things seem to be breaking down?

.

What most people have forgotten, or are unaware of is, that it is God who rules over the affairs of Mankind.

And He is the divine Judge.

And He will render unto Mankind the just recompense of our ways!

.

.

“Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man”

1st Peter 2:13

.

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.

.

.

“There is no fear of God before their eyes. ”

Romans 3:18

.

Well, there are many areas of life in which we have broken the laws.

.

And why has this happened?

.

Simple! The fear of God is no longer restraining most people.

Yes, there is a lack of healthy fear in these atheistic societies for this world’s Divine Lawgiver!

.

.

“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!

.

.

“Justice stands afar off!”

.

Listen to this fearful prophecy…

“And judgment is turned away backward,

and justice standeth afar off:

for truth is fallen in the street,

and equity cannot enter.”

Isaiah 59:14

.

Here is the awful judgment which is now falling upon this decadent society! Lawlessness!

.

.

“What shall we do then?”

.

So what can we do about all this?

.

Is it too late?

.

No, it is not too late.

.

That is, it’s not too late for any individual who desires to escape the wrath to come (and is already coming!)

.

Picture – Lot Escapes Sodom – www.thebiblerevival.com offers free Bible clipart – Public Domain.

.

“Be afflicted and mourn and weep!”

.

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

THE END

.

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN

.

“Multitudes, multitudes in the ‘Valley of Decision’…

.

for the day of the Lord is near in the ‘Valley of Decision’.”

.

“The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining…

.

“The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem…

.

“And the heavens and the earth shall shake…

.

“But the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.

.

Joel 3:14-16

.

LOCATING THIS CONSTELLATION GROUP…

.

Look eastward in the early summer through fall.

Find the Cassiopeia Constellation. 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. 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.)

Today’s Devotional, Year 4 – January 2 (“Harvesters of Light”)

By admin On April 5th, 2021

.

Today’s Devotional, Year 4 – January 2

.

“Harvesters of Light”

.

“But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light,

we have fellowship one with another,

and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son

cleanseth us from all sin.”

1st John 1:7

.

NAME-CALLING

.

“I know you are, but what am I?! I know you are, but what am I?!”

.

Have you ever said these words? “I know you are, but what am I?! I know you are, but what am I?!”

.

This was the best we could come up with, back in the 50’s, when somebody was calling us a derogatory name.

.

.

DEROGATORY NAMES

.

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.

.

Not too much fun, was it?

.

.

GOD CALLS PEOPLE NAMES TOO!

.

But God also has a name for His followers.

.

**Yes, God is into ‘name-calling’ too!**

.

Actually, He calls us many different names.

.

But today’s devotional is focusing on one name in particular.

.

That name is the name, “Children of Light”.

.

Listen… “ Ye are all the children of light,

and the children of the day:

we are not of the night, nor of darkness.”

1st Thessalonians 5: 5 (see also Luke 16:8, John 12:36, Ephesians 5:8)

.

Jesus Teaching Luke 4:31-32 – Jesus talks about Heaven – www.lavistachurchofchrist.org – Public Domain

.

A GOOD NAME IS WORTH PROTECTING!

.

“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!

.

.

REPROVERS OF THE DARKNESS

.

**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).

.

.

GATHER UP THE LIGHT!

.

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”)

.

“The entrance of Thy words giveth light;

it giveth understanding unto the simple.”

Psalm 119:30.

.

.

TODAY’S PRAYER…

“Dear Lord, I have lived in the flesh much too long!

Let me become a gatherer of light, instead of a gatherer of darkness…

TODAY’S HEAVENLY SIGN

.

***THE ARK, CROSS/SCEPTER* *& FLOWER OF THE FIELD***

.

“And the temple of God was opened in heaven,

and there was seen in His temple the ark of His testament…”

Revelation 11:19

.

**The below sketch is of the southernmost constellations: The Ark of the Covenant, the Flower of the Field, and the Cross/Scepter Constellations.**

This constellation is commonly known as “Sagittarius”.

.

**Why the ancients saw this as a centaur (man/horse figure) is a mystery.**

.

Maybe someone knows.

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – March 19 (As The Flower of the Field, Part 15: “Black Holes In Inner-Space: Romantic Idolatry!”)

By admin On April 4th, 2021

.

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – March 19

.

As The Flower of the Field,

.

Part 15:

“Black Holes In Inner-Space: Romantic Idolatry!”

To read Part 1, click here… “March 19th (As the Flower of the Field!)”

.

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.

.

(Click here to watch the very entertaining and free eye-opening YouTube expose of the scientific community, “Expelled”)

.

.

“THEIR FOOLISH HEART WAS DARKENED!”

Romans 1:21

.

**But on the other hand, maybe-just-maybe there might be such a thing as “black holes”!**

.

You see, when this human race rebelled against Heaven, it seems as if a void was created in Mankind’s heart.

.

As the Bible reveals…

“The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there!

for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.”

Luke 17:20, 21

.

This above passage suggests that when we rebelled against Heaven, and left our first love, Jesus, it created a great vacuum or void in our heart!

.

Perhaps one might call it “a black hole in inner-space”!

.

.

“SOME PEOPLE WANT TO FILL THE WORLD WITH SILLY LOVE SONGS”

.

Well, in this sorrowful planet, there is often a real lack of human kindness and compassion!

.

And yet, there exists no shortage of romantic love songs in the world!

.

Yes, turn on the radio to just about any station, and it won’t be long until a love song is played.

.

And well, that’s okay. After all, to love one’s own spouse is a good thing (most people would agree…at least “in principle” they would agree).

.

.

IDOLIZING HUMANS ABOVE GOD

.

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!

.

.

“AS CHRIST LOVED THE CHURCH”

Ephesians 5:25

.

Oh yes, the Bible commands Christians to love their spouse even as Christ loves His church, and has laid down His life for her.

.

But because the human family has rejected their God, that kind of Christlike love is just not possible among unsaved men and women of the world!

UNHAPPY MARRIAGES

.

And so, quite often, romance becomes just another form of idolatry, trying to replace love for God with love for a human instead.

.

Hence, we end up with love songs which go completely too far, quite often turning human companionship into an idolatrous worship service!

.

But just look at statistics, and it’s plain to see that such attempts at deifying human love is not working out so well.

.

The divorce rate is pretty high, and unhappy marriages occur at an even higher ratio.

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY”

Proverbs 25:25

.

So, what’s the Good News in all this negativity?

.

Simple! God is calling humanity to return to Him, and be filled with Christ’s infinite love for others.

.

No, not romance! But true agape love and a deep sympathy for lost souls.

.

Oh yes, God may bless the Believer to find an earthly spouse.

.

And Christ’s love can be achieved when a man and woman make Christ the head of their household.

.

But many Believers may find that a relationship with Christ is by far, a much more fulfilling and richly rewarding love.

FLOWER CONSTELLATION BOWS DOWN…

.

AUGUST 28TH, 2011

.

**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).**

.

This would make sense.

.

After all, Scripture states…

.

“…unto Me (the Lord),

every knee shall bow,

every tongue shall swear…”

Isaiah 46:1

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – March 18 (The Commandments of God, Part 4: “Christians & The Old Testament Law”)

By admin On April 4th, 2021

.

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – March 18

.

The Commandments of God,

.

Part 4:

“Christians & The Old Testament Law”

To read Part 1, click here…JULY 28 (The Commandments of God, Part 1: The True Light Now Shineth!)

.

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God,

and is profitable for doctrine,

for reproof,

for correction,

for instruction in righteousness:”

2nd Timothy 3:16

.

There is great confusion in the Christian world as to exactly what is our relationship to the Old Testament and its many statutes.

.

One radio show host divided the Old Testament laws into three categories: the moral law, the civil law, and the ceremonial law.

.

Nowadays, many Bible teachers also add the health laws.

.

Announcer with microphone – svg – Wikimedia – Public-Domain

.

“ADD THOU NOT, NEITHER DIMINISH OUGHT!”

.

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.

.

ABOVE PICTURE: Holy Bible – cropped image – Wikimedia – Creative Commons Lic.

.

” 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!

.

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN

.

EARTH: PLANET OF REST

.

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.

.

And very little rest. Ironic, isn’t it?

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – March 17 (The False Prophet, Part 28: “The Left Horn: Cruel Compassion”)

By admin On April 4th, 2021

.

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – March 17

.

The False Prophet,

.

Part 28:

“The Left Horn: Cruel Compassion”

To read Part 1 of this series, click here… “JANUARY 26 (The False Prophet, Part 1: Lying Eyes!)”

.

“A righteous man regardeth

the life of his beast:

but the tender mercies

of the wicked are cruel.”

Proverbs 12:10

.

Satan is now coming as the False Prophet, the prevailing spirit which rules over this antichrist world-system.

.

This is the actual true fulfillment concerning the 2nd beast of Revelation 13.

.

Not just a single individual, as most theologians currently teach, because they are merely parroting today’s popular theory.

(Remember that “beasts” are symbolic of kingdoms, as revealed in Daniel and other Old Testament prophecies)

.

ABOVE PICTURE: Satan, The False Prophet who offers a world-loving gospel – www.signsofheaven.org

.

“TWO HORNS LIKE A LAMB”

.

Now this 2nd Beast of Revelation 13 has two horns.

.

(The 1st Beast mostly being Satan’s tyrannical church/state system 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.

.

But this false prophet beast has counterfeited these two horns of power!

.

ABOVE PICTURE: Satan, The False Prophet who offers a world-loving gospel – www.signsofheaven.org

.

THE “COMPASSIONATE” 6TH HEAD

.

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).

(the 7th head is dealt with in other articles, click here to read one of those articles)

.

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.

.

.

“HAVING A FORM OF GODLINESS”

.

And isn’t it obviously evident that the world has its own form of “humanitarianism”, now abounding in today’s world?

.

Why, one might imagine that this antichrist world has now become filled with its own inherent goodness, mercy and love!

.

But don’t be fooled! The Bible warns us that…

“For men (in the last days)

shall be lovers of their own selves,

covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, etc….

HAVING A FORM OF GODLINESS,

but denying the power thereof:

from such turn away.”

2nd Timothy 3:2, 3

.

Yes, for Satan to deceive the whole world, he must mingle much counterfeit goodness into his antichrist world-system!

.

.

A MERCIFUL GOD

.

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 their 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

.

.

THE ANTICHRIST SPIRIT WITHIN ALL UNSAVED HUMANS

.

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!**

.

Satan presiding at the Infernal Council – Wikipedia – US Public Domain

.

“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!

.

ABOVE PICTURE: Satan, The False Prophet who offers a world-loving gospel – www.signsofheaven.org

.

“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)

.

Just true love and unfettered compassion for all!

TODAY’S HEAVENLY SIGN

.

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

.

“And there appeared another wonder in heaven;

and behold a great red dragon,

having seven heads and ten horns,

and seven crowns upon his heads.”

Revelation 12:3

.

**In Revelation, the Dragon of Revelation 12 is described as having seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns.**

.

**However, the Dragon Constellation up in the night sky does not.**

.

But God has faithfully created the wave of water, in such a way, as to illustrate this same concept of the seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns.

.

Because this wave of water is basically composed of ten stars.

.

**The main body of the wave has seven stars (#‘s, 1 thru 7).**

.

**And the tip of the crest of the wave has the other three stars (#’s, 8, 9 & 10).**

.

So, we have this 7 and 10 numbering.

.

And this gives us a great clue, as to where in the Bible we should look, to find out the riddle as to just what or who do these 7 heads, 10 crowns, and 7 horns represent.

.

Because, the Bible speaks very much about floods and waters as being associated with Satan (the Dragon).

.

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – March 12

.

Taking Back This Nation For God!

.

Part 13:

“Sinking Into The Bottomless Pit” CONTINUED

To read Part 1, click here…“March 28th (Taking Back This Nation For God!)”

.

“The wicked shall be turned into Hell,

and all the nations that forget God.”

Psalm 9:17

.

When a society begins dabbling in sexual immorality, it is certain that such a nation will slip deeper and deeper into the abyss of sin.

.

And history has shown that immorality is a great sign…signaling that it won’t be long until that nation begins to decay and crumble.

.

It is the kiss of death for any nation to lose its moral compass!

.

.

“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…”

Luke 17:28, 30

.

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 us, we who are 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 worldly-minded indoctrination on a daily basis by all the mass media.

.

But where will it all stop?

.

.

“Should women eat their offspring…?

.

Listen to this frightening prophecy…

“Should women eat their offspring,

the infants they have nurtured?”

Lamentations 2:20 (Berean Study Bible)

.

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!

.

.

“And Ye Shall Seek Me and Find Me When Ye Shall Search For Me With All Your Heart!”

Jeremiah 29:13

.

Well, the Good News is that none of us have to be a part of this coming firestorm. No, the Bible offers a way of escape!

.

But that escape route requires a 100% whole-hearted dedication to the Lord.

.

No longer will a double-minded devotion be tolerated by our God.

.

.

“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:

bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.

Thine eyes shall see the King in His beauty:

they shall behold the Land that is very far off.”

Isaiah 33:16, 17

.

**Yes, God will abundantly supply all our needs (both physical and spiritual needs) according to His riches in glory…**

.

…as we fearfully, but joyfully, take refuge from the overflowing scourge now coming upon us!

THE END

.

TODAY’S HEAVENLY SIGN

.

“Multitudes, multitudes in the ‘Valley of Decision’…

.

for the day of the Lord is near in the ‘Valley of Decision’.”

.

“The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining…

.

“The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem…

.

“And the heavens and the earth shall shake…

.

“But the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.

.

Joel 3:14-16

.

LOCATING THIS CONSTELLATION GROUP…

.

**Look eastward in the early summer through fall. Find the Cassiopeia Constellation.**

.

**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 snowcapped mountain to its right (south).

.

Then go a little further south to the next third snowcapped mount.

.

The third snow-capped mount 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).

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – March 9

.

A World of Lies

.

Part 14:

“It’s a Cuttlefish World! Yellow Journalism Today!” FURTHER CONTINUED

To read Part 1, click here… “January 3 (World of Lies, Part 1: The Femme-Fatale Firefly!)”

.

“I said in my haste, All men are liars…

God forbid: yea, let God be true,

but every man a liar…”

Psalm 116:11 & Romans 3:4

.

CUTTLEFISH: THE ULTIMATE IMPOSTORS!

.

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!

.

This little creature is nothing short of amazing!

.

.

YELLOW JOURNALISM: TODAY’S INDUSTRY-STANDARD

.

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!

.

.

“…YEA, LET GOD BE TRUE, AND EVERY MAN A LIAR”

.

Be that as it may, these political and media leaders don’t seem to care that they are making themselves look disingenuous!

.

They believe that their equally zealous listeners will accept those lies even though it’s an obvious deception!

.

But listen to God’s assessment of the human heart…“let God be true, but every man a liar” Romans 3:4

.

Yes, the Bible tells us that every one of us is a liar, in heart.

.

OUR ‘DESPERATELY WICKED’ HEARTS!

.

And if the above assessment isn’t bad enough, just listen to Jeremiah’s assessment of the human heart condition…

“The heart is deceitful above all things,

and desperately wicked:

who can know it?”

Jeremiah 17:9

.

Here is another verse which completely condemns the entire human race.

.

We all have incredibly corrupt and self-deceiving hearts…all of us!

.

ABOVE PICTURE: Mark of the beast – Pub. Dom. – Wikipedia

.

THE SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST IN US

.

And the reason why we are so corrupt, is found in the following passage…

“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

.

Castle of Disney – Wikipedia – Public Dom

.

ANTICHRISTS: THE UNSAVED PEOPLE OF THE WORLD

.

**Now listen to this next passage which speaks of the “Spirit of truth”, and also, the “spirit of error”…**

“They (antichrists) are of the world:

therefore speak they of the world,

and the world heareth them.

We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us;

he that is not of God heareth not us.

Hereby know we the “Spirit of truth”,

and the “spirit of error”.

1st John 4:5, 6

.

So, no wonder that so many of the unsaved leaders of our society and today’s media are so willing to lie!

**They are possessed by the “spirit of error”.**

.

.

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY!”

Proverbs 25:25

.

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!

TODAY’S HEAVENLY SIGN

.

THE NARROW GATE STARS

.

**It is apparent that the Fleeing Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation is veering toward the two bright stars, known as Castor and Pollux (sketch to below left).**

.

**But the Wide Gate Stars are composed of the two brightest stars of the Auriga Constellation, known as the star, Capella, and the star, Menkalinan.**

.

**The two stars, Castor and Pollux, make up the concept of the Orion’s Narrow Gate Stars.**

.

This can even be observed into June in the western sky (for a short time just after dark).

.

**While a dark night is best for seeing the Woman Constellation, the 4 stars which comprise the Narrow Gate/Wide Gate Stars can be seen even under mediocre conditions.**

.

It begins with the Fleeing Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation (AKA Ursa Major) going towards these two doors.

.

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – March 8 (In Every Thing Give Thanks!?! Part 8: “Cancer, a Faith-building Experience?”)

By admin On April 4th, 2021

.

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – March 8

.

In Every Thing Give Thanks!?!

.

Part 8:

“Cancer, a Faith-building Experience?”

To read Part 1, click here… February 1st (In Every Thing Give Thanks!?!)

.

“And we know that all things

work together for good

to them that love God,

to them who are the called

according to His purpose.

For whom He did foreknow,

He also did predestinate

to be conformed to the image of His Son,

that He might be

the firstborn among many brethren.”

Romans 8:28, 29

.

A certain Christian was going through cancer treatment, and well, he was questioning why God was putting him through all this.

.

“Why do I have to wear all these tubes?…

.

…”And this bag?!…

.

…”Why has God allowed me to go through all this pain and suffering?”

.

These were just two of the many questions this man was asking.

.

And so, his “pity-party” went forward, day-by-day.

.

.

“I GO FORWARD…AND BACKWARD, BUT I CANNOT PERCEIVE HIM”

Job 23:8

.

But then, as time went by, he realized that God was working through each crisis, both little and great, to strengthen his faith!

.

Yes, every time some problem or crisis arose, and he began to wonder where God was hiding, the problem eventually got solved, one way or another.

.

And this same experience was repeated throughout the cancer treatment.

.

Problems arose, but then they were solved, one-by-one!

.

.

“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!

.

Munch – Det Syke Barn – 1896 – Wikipedia – US Public Domain

.

“LOVE NOT THE WORLD!”

(read 1st John 2:15-17)

.

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!

.

Munch – Det Syke Barn – 1896 – Wikipedia – US Public Domain

.

“EVERLASTING JOY SHALL BE UPON THEIR HEADS!”

Isaiah 35:10 & 51:11 & 61:7

.

Yes, my tried and troubled soul, remember that this little life only lasts a few decades.

.

But eternity in God’s Promised Land Paradise goes on unceasingly throughout all timeless ions of endless joy and peace and contentment!

.

.

**And whether we live on for another 10 or 20 years, or just a short time, we can be assured of the following “exceeding great and precious promises”…**

.

…”For this God is our God

for ever and ever:

He will be our guide

even unto death…

I shall come forth as gold.”

Find Orion first. Look for his 3-star belt.

.

Then find the 4 bright stars of his shoulders and feet.

.

Then locate the Dragon’s mouth (AKA Hyades).

Cuttlefish & The False Prophet

.

Part 14:

“And He Spake As A Dragon!”

FURTHER CONTINUED: “Our Helter Skelter Media!”

To read Part 1 of this “And He Spake As A Dragon” series, click here…January 11 (Cuttlefish & The False Prophet, “And He Spake As A Dragon!”)

.

“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

ABOVE PICTURE: Satan, The False Prophet who now in these last days destroys the churches via a world-loving prosperity-driven false gospel – www.signsofheaven.org

.

“THE KISSES OF AN ENEMY ARE DECEITFUL!”

Proverbs 27:6

.

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

.

Yes, like that incredible impostor, the cuttlefish, this cuttlefish 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

.

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…

.

…murdering, all for the purpose of furthering the supposed instigation of a worldwide race-war, which he claimed would be called, “Helter Skelter”.

.

“Helter-skelter, helter-skelter Helter-skelter Yeah, whoo!”

Lyrics from the Beatle tune, “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…

.

…a dark 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?

Question Mark – Wikimedia – Public Domain

.

It is none other than the mainstream media, including the Internet!

Exclamation Mark – Wikimedia – Public Domain

.

“What!? How can this be!?”

.

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-people 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…

…areas such as mob violence…

…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”!

.

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY!”

Proverbs 25:25

.

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!**

TODAY’S FEATURED SIGN

.

“Multitudes, multitudes in the ‘Valley of Decision’…

.

for the day of the Lord is near in the ‘Valley of Decision’.”

.

“The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining…

.

“The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem…

.

“And the heavens and the earth shall shake…

.

“But the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.

.

Joel 3:14-16

.

LOCATING THIS VALLEY OF DECISION CONSTELLATION GROUP…

.

**Look eastward in the early summer through fall. Find the Cassiopeia Constellation.**

.

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.

.

It seems to have a snowcapped top.

.

Then find the second apparent snowcap to its right (south).

.

Then go a little further south to the third apparent snow-cap which is the Destroying Mountain Constellation.

.

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’?”

TO READ PART 1, CLICK HERE…April 12th (Look For The Light At The End of the Tunnel?)

.

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 likewise appear to be a light at the end of the tunnel…

.

…and yet, they actually are Satan’s deadly trap, to imprison lost souls.

.

.

JIM MORRISON

.

**Jim Morrison, the dreamy-eyed singer/songwriter of The Doors, definitely made his mark in this world, in spite of his very short life.**

.

This young and devilishly handsome wordsmith belted out his poetic songs-of-defiance before millions of adoring and enamored fans.

.

.

THE DOORS OF PERCEPTION

.

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”.

.

.

BREAK ON THROUGH TO THE OTHER SIDE?

.

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”.

.

.

27 FOREVER?

.

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!**

.

.

LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL?

.

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!

.

Maybe even, “27 forever”!

TODAY’S HEAVENLY SIGN

.

“THE SCORNER (THE PHARISEE)”

.

Please tilt your head slightly to the left.

.

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.

.

**Unlike the first Moon-man’s sad look of shock and awe (click here to see and read about); this ‘man/fox/wolf/dog’ appears to be that of anger and scorn.**

.

As if he is disgusted at the sinful planet below.

.

He is very moral, you see.

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – March 4

.

Planet Earth, Devil’s Island

Part 17:

“A World of Terror!”

To read Part 1, click here… March 13th (Planet Earth: Devil’s Island!)

.

“And the third angel poured out his vial

upon the rivers and fountains of waters;

and they became blood.

And I heard the angel of the waters say,

Thou art righteous, O Lord…

and thou hast given them blood to drink;

for they are worthy.”

Revelation 16:4-6

.

This above prophecy from Revelation 16 concerns the third plague which is to fall upon humanity in these last days.

.

Oh yes, Revelation was written for every time-period of the New Testament era.

.

But this third plague seems to be finding its most dramatic fulfillment right in this very time we are now in!

.

Now, via the mass media, the earth is disclosing her blood as never before possible. (see Isaiah 26:21 & 27:1)

.

And the tragic fact is, we are drinking that blood on a daily basis!

.

.

HORRIBLE DAILY NEWS REPORTS!

.

Yes, let the TV viewer merely flip through the various news shows, and behold the abject terror being reported 24/7/365!

.

For example, we often hear of people getting beheaded!

…Or some poor lady getting sucked out of a broken window on a jetliner!

…Or the horrific and senseless violence committed by street-gangs!

…Or the nightmare of war!

…Or the terrifying stories about people being kidnapped from their hometowns, only to be sold into cruel slavery!

.

“…THEIR CONSCIENCE SEARED WITH A HOT IRON!”

1st Timothy 4:1, 2

.

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!

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!

.

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY!”

Proverbs 25:25

.

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

TODAY’S HEAVENLY SIGN

.

LOCATING THE DRAGON

.

REVELATION 12 DRAGON IS NOT DRACO!

.

First, let it be stated, that this Dragon Constellation is not the same constellation commonly referred to as “Draco” (photo to right is Draco).

.

**This Revelation 12 Dragon from Signs Of Heaven, has not been previously recognized.**

.

But you will discover that it is a very intricate and complex constellation, once you are comfortable locating it (picture below, right).

REVELATION 12 DRAGON

.

LOCATION…

.

**The Revelation 12 Dragon Constellation can be located by finding Orion in winter months.**

.

**The Dragon is to Orion’s left, and the Dragon’s mouth is right next to Orion’s shield.**

.

**This Dragon’s mouth is the V-like constellation The Hyades Cluster, which is also known as the head of Taurus the Bull.**

.

**The Dragon’s tail-tip is Pleiades and the lower shaft of his tail is partly of Aries and Pisces.**

.

Then with aid of a dark and starry night, you may begin to connect the mouth and the tail with a very long body in an oval shape.

.

The front and back legs are made of a few stars: the front legs partially of stars from Taurus.

.

**The back legs and rear fin are made of 6 stars from the Cetus Constellation.**

.

BODY HARD TO SEE

.

The long oval-shaped body has relatively few stars, but can been seen, howbeit with a dark, starry night.

.

The four stars of the front fins are made partially of Taurus.

.

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – March 3

.

Sodom Rising?

.

Part 17 “Which Rainbow Will You Cling To?”

To read part 1, click here…August 22nd (Sodom Rising! Part 1)

.

“I do set my bow in the cloud,

and it shall be for a token of a covenant

between Me and the earth.

And it shall come to pass,

when I bring a cloud over the earth,

that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:

And I will remember my covenant,

which is between Me and you

and every living creature of all flesh;

and the waters shall no more

become a flood to destroy all flesh.

And the bow shall be in the cloud;

and I will look upon it,

that I may remember the everlasting covenant

between God and every living creature

of all flesh that is upon the earth.”

Genesis 9:13-16

.

Back in the early years of what is now referred to as, “The Sexual Revolution”, the first “Gay-Pride rainbow” was created.

.

Yes, a rainbow-like symbol having 8 colors (adding the color pink to symbolize “female sexuality”).

.

.

THE RAINBOW: CHRIST’S EVERLASTING COVENANT OF SALVATION

.

Now, it’s oddly interesting that the gay community has chosen the rainbow to be their symbol.

.

**As this above passage from Genesis 9:13-16 reveals, the Rainbow was given by God as a token of Christ’s “everlasting covenant” of Salvation.**

.

But also, the rainbow symbolized God’s promise that earth would never again be destroyed by water!

.

Noah’s Ark – Domenico Morelli – Wikipedia – public domain

.

“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!

.

.

THE 7TH DAY REST UNTO YOUR SOULS

.

In contrast to these 8-color and 6-color rainbows, the true rainbow which God created, has seven colors.

.

And of course, the Bible speaks of the 7th-day Sabbath.

.

The 7th day is a day of rest…

…”Come unto Me (Jesus), 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.”

Matthew 11:28, 29

BABYLON, “THE CITY OF CONFUSION”

Isaiah 24:10

.

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!

BABYLON, “THE CITY OF CONFUSION”

.

Now, just a side-note.

.

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 now even 11-colors!

.

And so, it’s not surprising that this very confusing Babylon-world-system has decided to change their Gay-Rainbow to 9-colors, then to 10-colors, etc…

.

Come Unto Me (Jesus) All Ye Who Are Weary And Heavy Ladened, And I Will Give You Rest…Unto Your Souls…”

Matthew 11:28

.

But the Good News is that God’s 7-color rainbow is still appearing up there in the sky on rainy/sunny moments!

.

In other words, God’s promise is still good!

.

And He is inviting all those who are weary and heavy-laden to enter into His everlasting rest.

“God Shall Wipe Away Every Tear”

.

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.”

Revelation 21:4

.

And in that joyous land, we will live forever, forever happy, and forever young!

THE END

.

TODAY’S HEAVENLY SIGN

.

ORION GETS THE VICTORY

.

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!

.

No wonder the Bible calls this story…“The Good News”!

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – April 4

.

A World of Lies,

.

Part 15:

“Rascals Then, and Rascals Still!”

To read Part 1, click here… “January 3 (World of Lies, Part 1: The Femme-Fatale Firefly!)”

.

“If they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you”

John 15:20

.

Did you know that the very same rascals who sought to ensnare Jesus are still around today?

.

Oh no, Jesus is no longer carrying on His literal earthly ministry.

.

But those very same types of characters who tried to ensnare Him and falsely accuse Him are busily engaging in the same deceptive practices today!

.

Tissot – the Pharisees and the Herodians conspire against Jesus – www.joyfulheart.com

.

THE WORLD OF POLITICS

.

Take, for example, the shenanigans going on in the world of politics!

.

The modern media is working hard to accuse their supposed political enemies of wrong-doing in any possible way.

.

Even if they have to exaggerate, cover-up, or tell out-and-out lies, they will now do so without hesitation or shame!

.

It’s truly amazing to witness the very same tactics which were once used against Jesus now being used against political foes!

.

Character assassination for some perceived advantage is, and has always been, Satan’s favorite modus-operandi, even as far back as in the Garden!

.

“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 END

.

TODAY’S HEAVENLY SIGN

.

THE NARROW GATE STARS

.

This most amazing phenomenon is seen throughout the winter. .

**Although it can be observed most of the winter, it is seen best when it is the western part of the sky, at winter’s end (The end of winter being the final scene of this heavenly Gospel story).**

.

***Orion, the Dragon, and the Glorious White Horse* are beginning to descend into the western horizon *(sketch to right is Winter Constellations descending into western horizon.***

.

This can actually be seen as early as December, in the pre-dawn hours).

.

**And at this point it is apparent that the Fleeing Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation is veering toward the two bright stars, known as Castor and Pollux (sketch to below left).**

.

**But the Wide Gate Stars are composed of the two brightest stars of the Auriga Constellation, known as the star, Capella, and the star, Menkalinan.**

.

**The two stars, Castor and Pollux, make up the concept of the Orion’s Narrow Gate Stars.**

.

This can even be observed into June in the western sky (for a short time just after dark).

.

**While a dark night is best for seeing the Woman Constellation, the 4 stars which comprise the Narrow Gate/Wide Gate Stars can be seen even under mediocre conditions.**

.

It begins with the Fleeing Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation (AKA Ursa Major) going towards these two doors.

.

The sketch to left shows, the two doors are each composed of two bright stars.

.

**The two bright stars that comprise the Narrow Gate are the two brightest stars of the Orion the Reaper’s sickle.**

.

The two stars that comprise the ‘Wide Gate’ Stars are the two brightest stars of the wave of water that comes out of the Dragon Constellation’s mouth (for explanation of “Wave of Water”, just click here).

.

**The stars that make up the ‘Narrow Gate’ are about half the width of the Wide Gate (see sketch to right).**

.

.

The world appreciates the Sun, with all its benefits.

.

…Its beauty.

.

…Its warmth.

.

…Its life-giving properties.

.

And just look at this photo of a bicycler…”Sunlight on King Street”!

.

What an appropriate name!

.

Do you think this person was having a nice day in the Sun?

.

The Sun can be very healing.

.

And God has given the Sun for Mankind’s needs: for his health, and for his happiness.

.

But He also has given the Sun to be a spiritual sign.

.

The Sun teaches some important Biblical truths.

THE CREATOR’S WITNESSES IN NATURE

.

Yes, nature testifies to the majesty & grandeur, to the law & order, to the love and poetry of our great and awesome God!

.

But God has also inscribed wisdom, divine wisdom, in all of nature.

.

Yes, the Gospel of Jesus Christ is inscribed in all, from the tiniest atomic particle to the greatest galaxy, and even beyond: God’s wisdom can be discovered in all the universe!

THE SUN

.

But today’s devotional is dedicated to our Sun.

.

Because the Sun has many wonderful qualities about it, which all humans may enjoy.

.

But the Sun also plays an important role in revealing Jesus Christ to the world!

.

From Jesus’ own lips, He proclaimed…

“I am the light of the world:

he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness,

but shall have the light of life.”

John 8:12

THE END

.

TODAY’S HEAVENLY SIGN

.

1st ORB: THE SUN = 1ST COMMANDMENT

.

“Thou shall have no other gods before Me”

.

One great clue that if the Sun would correspond to the First Commandment, “You shall have no other gods before Me”…

.

…that fact is, the names which Mankind has given to the planets, all named after pagan gods: Saturn, Mars, Jupiter, etc… are all names of ancient pagan deities.

.

**Then begin to relate the Sun corresponding to the first Commandment… “You shall have no other gods before Me”, which just so happens to be surrounded by planets named after pagan gods!**

.

It would seem that God has allowed Mankind (under the influence of “the god of this world“, of course) to name these planets after pagan gods, in order to make a very poignant statement…

.

…that statement being, that we citizens of this planet are in rebellion against God, therefore, we have other gods.

.

**So, God has set up this solar system to present this concept (and other concepts too) of the Sun (Christ) being surrounded by our many other gods (i.e., the 9 planets, named after pagan gods).**

By admin On April 4th, 2021

Today’s Devotional – February 4th

.

Come Out of Her, My People!

.

Part 60:

“Remember the 6th Commandment Too!”

To read Part 1, click here… “May 12th (Come Out of Her, My People?)”

.

“Now suppose two men are fighting,

.

and in the process they accidentally strike a pregnant woman so she gives birth prematurely.

.

If no further injury results,

.

the man who struck the woman must pay the amount of compensation the woman’s husband demands and the judges approve.

.

But if there is further injury, the punishment must match the injury:

.

a life for a life”

Exodus 21:22, 23

.

WHAT DOES GOD SAY?

.

Even though abortion has been legal in America for a number of decades, there is still a great divide in western societies over this issue.

.

But just what does the Bible say about abortion? That’s the really important question!

.

What does God have to say about this very controversial issue?

.

Fetus Ellipse – cropped image – Wikimedia – Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.0 Generic license.

.

“THOU SHALT NOT KILL”

.

Of course, the very first passage which comes to mind is the 6th Commandment…”Thou shalt not kill.” Exodus 20:13

.

And Jesus, during His earthly sojourn, said it this way…”Thou shalt do no murder.” Matthew 19:18

.

**The problem is, many people have somehow convinced themselves that this commandment doesn’t apply to unborn children. “It’s just a hunk of flesh”, they disingenuously proclaim.**

.

But the Bible reveals that this so-called, “hunk of flesh” is actually a child!

.

**After all, in Genesis 38:24, a young lady named Tamar, was said to be, “with child”, only three months after conception.**

.

.

So where else does Scripture speak to this very controverted issue?

.

.

JOHN MEETS JESUS AND LEAPS FOR JOY!

.

Listen to this next passage from Luke’s Gospel concerning two babies in their two mothers’ wombs…

…”For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy (Mary’s) salutation,

sounded in mine (Mary’s cousin, Elizabeth) ears,

the babe (John the Baptist) leaped in my womb for joy.”

Luke 1:44

.

Here was the young virgin, Mary, going to her cousin Elisabeth’s home, just days after she was told that she was with child, the baby Jesus.

.

And Elisabeth (who was six months along with her own baby, John the Baptist), exclaimed to Mary that she felt John leap in her (Elisabeth’s) womb for joy because Jesus had entered the home of Elisabeth.

.

So now it is established that Jesus, although newly conceived, was already a living soul within Mary’s womb.

.

And John, six months along in his mother’s womb, was able to think, reason, and even to leap for joy because the Holy Spirit informed him that the Savior of the world was in the house.

.

And so, this passage should dispel the popular notion that a newly conceived child is merely “a hunk of flesh”, as many abortion advocates would have us to believe.

.

Yes, Mary was probably only a few weeks with child, and yet Jesus was very present.

.

But also, being only six months in Elisabeth’s womb, John’s actions prove that a child in the womb is able to think and even experience joy!

.

.

“…neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure”

1st Timothy 5:22

.

Those Christians who support political parties and/or candidates who will vote for abortion, may indeed share in the guilt of murder, when standing before the Judge.

.

Yes, just like David, when he allowed his second-in-command to murder Uriah, an innocent man, God charged David with murder, just as if he had physically committed that heinous deed!

.

So also, whether it be a political party, or even a church which commissions abortions, the Christian who knowingly supports such organizations should really consider if he or she is sharing in the murder of innocent little children.

.

“Hands That Shed Innocent Blood”

Proverbs 6:17

.

And so, from these passages it is clear that God has given enough information in the Bible for all truth-seekers to realize that abortion is indeed, murder.

.

And yet, God has supplied those who are dishonest in heart, with enough “pegs to hang their doubts upon”.

.

But really, the people of the world all realize that abortion prevents that child from entering the world. And deep down they realize what abortion is: dirty rotten murder!

.

.

THE GOOD NEWS OF SALVATION

.

Nevertheless, for those who have already committed this heinous sin, there is hope!

.

Yes, even the great Apostle, Paul, was guilty of murder, prior to his conversion. And God forgave him.

.

And King David was likewise a murder, and yet, God forgave him as well.

.

And so, those who have committed the grievous sin of killing that life in their womb can come to Jesus and plead for His forgiveness just like David did. (read Psalm 51).

“And He said, What hast thou done?

THE END

TODAY’S HEAVENLY SIGN

.

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).

.

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – March 2

.

The Devil Made Me Do It!

.

Part 22:

“It’s A Gad, Gad, Gad, Gad World!”

To read Part 1, click here…October 13th (The Devil Made Me Do It!)

.

“An high look, and a proud heart,

and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.”

Proverbs 21:4

.

A “FEEL-GOOD” MOVIE

.

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

.

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

.

Yes, you could not only say, it’s a “Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World”, but you might even say, it’s a “Gad, Gad, Gad, Gad World!”

.

Let’s explain…

.

.

A HARD WORKIN’ DEVIL!

.

Have you ever heard the expression, “To work like the Devil”?

.

Well, there are many aspects of Satan that people don’t know about.

.

But one thing most people can agree on is, “Indeed, the Devil is a very hard worker!”

.

.

MANY HARD WORKERS

.

And just look at all the hard-working people, “busting their chops each day”, trying to support their family!

.

How can THAT be a product of Satan’s world of sin?

.

Well, listen again to today’s signature verse… “An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.” Proverbs 21:4

.

.

“…and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.”

Proverbs 21:4

.

Well, perhaps this above verse is merely speaking of the really bad people of the world.

.

Yes, maybe it’s just talking about those thieves and murders, and druggies, and perverts out there in the dark, back-alleys of the world.

.

But remember what 1st John 5:19 says, “And we know that we are of God, and the WHOLE world lieth in wickedness.”

.

Yes, this above verse defines just who it is that God considers wicked…us!

.

EVERY THING BUT THE RIGHT THING!

.

Now have you ever heard this above saying, “Everything but the right thing”?

.

Well, that’s not exactly a Bible verse, but it does indeed present a biblical concept.

.

You see, we citizens of this selfish planet have mostly been doing everything but the right thing in our daily labors.

.

Oh yes, we must work and provide for our families.

.

But even such animals as sloths do that!

.

And most all creatures take care of their families!

.

.

THE DEVIL DOESN’T CARE!

.

**But “the god of this world” doesn’t care if we go to our graves with the reputation of being a hard worker!**

.

No, as a matter of fact, such morality only gives his antichrist world-system a nice shiny outward veneer!

.

Palmer – Carpenter – Wikipedia – Public Domain

.

“Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way?”

Jeremiah 2:36

.

Unfortunately, most humans neglect that one critically important work and do EVERY OTHER THING, thus causing their entire life to be built on a sandy foundation!

.

Oh yes, we may have the reputation of being a “workaholic”.

.

But in reality, most of the time, our work ethics are merely the product of the antichrist spirit which dwells in us.

.

**Yes, that hard worker, Lucifer, makes very sure that we do every other work but the right work!**

.

And just what is “the right work”?

.

The right work is the purification of our heart and encouraging those we love out of this self-seeking world and upward and onward to the Celestial City of God!

.

.

OUR DAILY BREAD

.

Well, the Good News is, that today is still the day of Salvation!

.

And we can continually beg the Lord to put it into our hearts to joyfully and prayerfully read the Bible each day in hopes of finding more and more about Jesus.

.

And then, by the grace of God in answer to our unceasing pleas, we can finally spend our remaining days keeping our wonderful Savior before us in our mind’s eye.

.

And we can devote the rest of our lives in praying for and joyfully encouraging others to join the current-day end-time exodus out of this doomed, “City of Destruction”: Planet Earth.

.

And then, with these entirely new motives, we can enthusiastically go about our daily labor, with hearts afire for Jesus, and minds focused upon His wonderful Word!

.

“THE SCORNER (THE PHARISEE)”

.

Listen to the following revelation concerning the evil which exists within the hearts of men…

“For from within, out of the heart of men,

proceed evil thoughts, adulteries…

covetousness, wickedness… AN EVIL EYE,

blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

All these evil things come from within,

and defile the man.”

Mark 7:18-23

.

Please tilt your head slightly to the left.

.

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.

.

As if he is disgusted at the sinful planet below.

.

He is very moral, you see!

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – March 1 (Strong Delusion in Scripture, Part 12: “Does God Approve of Slavery”)

By admin On April 3rd, 2021

.

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – March 1

.

Strong Delusion in Scripture

.

Part 12:

.

“Does God Approve of Slavery”

.

“…because they received not the love of the truth…

God shall send them strong delusion,

that they should believe a lie:

That they all might be damned

who believed not the truth,

but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”

2nd Thessalonians 2:10-12

.

There is a preacher who regularly goes to college campuses to share the Gospel and make sense with students.

.

And the YouTube videos are amazing to watch partly because today’s college educated young people have so been so thoroughly indoctrinated into atheism, that it is next to impossible to make sense with them.

.

Nevertheless, this preacher uses his nearly five decades of experience to make his extremely powerful case for the existence of God and the Gospel of Jesus.

.

Now, one of the most popular arguments against the God of the Bible is that “Why would a good God ever endorse slavery as frequently found in the Christian Bible?”

.

“…because they received not the love of the truth…God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:”

.

What most people do not realize is the supernatural nature of the Bible.

.

It has been purposely written to either save or condemn!

.

And so, God has written the Bible in such a way, that it reveals to each person whatever is the ruling force within each particular individual.

.

Listen to David… “With the merciful Thou wilt show Thyself merciful;

with an upright man Thou wilt show Thyself upright;

With the pure Thou wilt show Thyself pure;

and with the froward Thou wilt show Thyself froward.”

Psalm 18:25, 26.

.

As this above passage reveals, the Bible will be interpreted rightly by those whose heart is right, but wrongly by those whose heart is NOT right.

.

.

And the issue of slavery is one of those Bible topics which critics love to use as an argument against the God of the Bible. Yet, these critics do not realize that they have been deceived.

.

First, Bible scholars point out that slavery, back in those days, was often used as a means of paying back debts or securing employment food and housing.

.

Second, the whole Bible is anti-slavery, beginning with Exodus and the freeing of the Hebrews from 400 years of Egyptian captivity in which they were forced to build the pyramids and other structures.

.

Third, the Bible gives advice to servants and masters, which is designed to translate into practical advice to Christian employees and employers.

.

Finally, the Bible speaks of Christians as follows1Co_7:22 For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord’s freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ’s servant.

.

And, as far as God’s advice to Christians who are actual slaves, the following verse applies…1Co_7:21 Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.

.

THE CARNALLY-MINDED

.

No, listen to Paul as he explains the core of the problem here…

…”But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God:

for they are foolishness unto him:

neither can he know them,

because they are spiritually discerned.”

1st Corinthians 2:13, 14

.

As this above verse reveals, there are many who are yet carnally-minded, and to a great extent, desire to believe that spiritual interpretations are foolishness.

.

.

DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD

.

There are many other pitfalls in the Bible, which those who have not yet received gift of God’s Spirit, will stumble and fall into!

.

Listen to this next fearful passage…

...”For the Word of God is quick, and powerful,

and sharper than any two-edged sword,

piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit,

and of the joints and marrow,

and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”

Hebrews 4:12, 13

.

So here is a very incredible passage which reveals the double-sided truth of the Bible!

.

Yes, the Bible reveals which spirit controls a person’s heart!

.

Those who are of an Antichrist spirit will, “stumble at the Word, being disobedient”. 1st Peter 2:8

.

But those who are spiritually-minded will delight to discover that, “the truth shall make you free”. John 8:32

.

TODAY’S PRAYER…

“Dear Lord, Give me of Thy Holy Spirit, as I give Thee my entire life! Let me not be deceived by a false spirit. But bring me up the narrow pathway of truth…

THE END

TODAY’S HEAVENLY SIGN

.

THE GLITTERING SWORD CONSTELLATION

.

“In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword

shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent,

even leviathan that crooked serpent;

and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.”

Isaiah 27:1

.

This constellation is made of most of the constellations in this website.

.

The upper portion can be seen in the winter, while the lower blade is visible in the warmer months. (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.)

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – February 29 (Flee To The Mountain! Part 24: “Pillar of Salt Churches”)

By admin On April 3rd, 2021

.

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – February 29

.

Flee To The Mountain!

.

Part 24:

“Pillar of Salt Churches”

TO READ PART 1, CLICK HERE… “May 30th (Flee To The Mountains!)”

.

“And it came to pass…that He (the Angel) said (to Lot),

‘Escape for thy life; look not behind thee…

But his (Lot’s) wife looked back…

and she became a pillar of salt.”

Genesis 19:17, 26 (Condensed)

.

Lot Flees Sodom – www.christianimagesource.com

.

**In the Daily Devotional, “Am I A Pillar of Salt?” (click here to read), it was stated that many churchgoers have become like a pillar of salt, spiritually speaking.**

.

For the most part, those who are still in the churches, have refused, to a great extent, to “flee from the wrath to come”. Matthew 3:7 & Luke 3:7

.

ABOVE PICTURE: Not-very-funny Judgment Day Cartoon – a party tonight – signsofheaven.org

.

A WORLD OF SELFISH PURSUITS

.

The fact is, far too many of us professors of Christ are still immersed in the ungodly influences and pollutions of the world…

.

…television, secular radio and secular Internet…

.

…clubs, organizations, sports, hobbies…

.

…time-consuming newspapers & magazines…

.

…movies, ambitious careers…

.

…and many other similar pursuits, all to the poverty of the soul!

.

Most of us are all nestled down in our comfortable place, and still living for the world to a great extent.

.

.

DEALING WITH FAMILY

.

Now obviously, it is difficult to totally avoid every worldly pleasure, especially for those who have family obligations.

.

And a certain amount of the more innocent pleasures and pursuits are possibly necessary for the unsaved family members.

.

And much patience and prayer for great wisdom is required in such cases.

.

But there must be a constant and on-going repentance in the life of every Believer, knowing that Satan is going to try to pull us fully back into the world.

.

SOLIDIFIED CHURCHES

.

But today’s devotional is more concerned with church organizations.

.

In other words, the churches no longer strive to…

“all come…unto a perfect man,

unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:”

Ephesians 4:13. (Condensed)

.

Transfiguration – Bloch – Wikimedia Commons – US Public-Domain

.

FRATERNAL/SOCIAL ORGANIZATIONS

.

To a great degree, the church-world is content to be a collection of individual social/fraternal organizations with certain degree of religiosity.

.

Oh yes, the more benign and non-threatening verses of the Bible are being preached each week.

.

**But either by word and/or by example, the leaders of the church are maintaining a quasi-Christian environment, not wanting to lose the more world-loving parishioners.**

.

And the problem with this is, such a low-grade of piety influences both the young and old parishioners who might otherwise seek to “walk even as He (Christ) walked”. 1st John 2:6

.

CHURCH-WIDE APOSTASY FORETOLD

.

The Apostle, Paul, warned that this day would come…

…”For the time will come

when they will not endure sound doctrine;

but after their own lusts

shall they heap to themselves teachers,

having itching ears…”

2nd Timothy 4:3, 4 (Condensed)

.

Yes, this above verse is speaking of today’s church-world which has become like a pillar of salt and cannot flee to the Mountain (which symbolizes the fulness of Christ).

.

.

“Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul…”

Jeremiah 51:6

.

Now the Good News in this very sad report is, that God only wanted us to continue in these organizations, fellowshipping until the day in which we were commanded to flee!

.

Listen to the Prophet, Habakkuk…

…”And the LORD answered me, and said,

Write the vision,

and make it plain upon tables,

that he may run that readeth it.

For the vision is yet for an appointed time,

but at the end it shall speak, and not lie:

though it tarry, wait for it;

because it will surely come,

it will not tarry.”

Habakkuk 2:2, 3

.

Yes, the world has surrounded God’s people to the point that “wrong judgment proceeds” from the various church organizations and radio stations, as it says in Habakkuk 1:4

.

And when the vision begins to speak, then it is time for God’s true worshipers to, “RUN!”, as Habakkuk warns. (read such articles as the little series, “Habakkuk says ‘Run!‘”)

.

.

“escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed!”

Genesis 19:17

.

**It is now time for God’s true worshipers to vacate these pillar-of-salt organizations.**

.

But God has provided heavenly bread and spiritual waters of grace, “upon every high mountain and every high hill in the day when the towers fall” Isaiah 30:25

.

Yes, there is an abundant supply of heavenly bread and copious draughts of spiritual waters of grace upon those spiritual mountains in this day when the towers (churches) are fallen!

“Flee out of the midst of Babylon,

and deliver every man his soul:

be not cut off in her iniquity;

for this is the time of the LORD’S vengeance;

He will render unto her a recompense.

Babylon hath been a golden cup in the LORD’S hand,

that made all the earth drunken:

the nations have drunken of her wine;

therefore the nations are mad.”

Jeremiah 51:6, 7

TODAY’S HEAVENLY SIGN

.

TWO TURTLE-DOVES CONSTELLATION

LOCATING THIS CONSTELLATION

.

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.

.

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.)

.

.

GOD’S LAST CALL

.

So these Two Turtle-Doves are a sign of witnessing to a lost and dying world.

.

And it may just be that these Two Turtle-Doves are a sign of God’s last message to the world!

.

Yes, the Bible says…

…”And there shall be signs

in the sun,

and in the moon,

and in the stars;

and upon the earth distress of nations,

with perplexity;

the sea and the waves roaring;

Men’s hearts failing them for fear,

and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth:

for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

And then shall they see the Son of man coming

in a cloud with power and great glory.”

Luke 21:25-27.

.

And so, if these signs are a fulfillment of Luke’s prophecy, then these Two Turtle-Doves are a symbol of God’s last message of mercy to this world!

.

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – April 11

.

.

Two Turtledoves Constellation!

.

Part 3:

“Forsaking All to Follow Jesus!”

.

.

.

.

.

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

then he shall bring for his trespass,

which he hath committed,

two turtledoves, or two young pigeons,

unto the LORD; one for a sin offering,

and the other for a burnt offering.”

.

.

.

.

.

THE TWO TURTLEDOVES CONSTELLATION

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.)

.

.

.

.

.

TWO TURTLEDOVES IS ALSO THE ARK CONSTELLATION

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.

<img decoding="async" class="alignleft" title="ark &amp; cross fixed 7-31-11" src="https://theheavensdeclare.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/pic3-300x166.jpg" alt="" width="251" height="163" /> .

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.”

.

This above passage from Leviticus really makes a concise statement, concerning this Two Turtledoves Constellation.

.

.

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…”

.

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.

.

.

.

.

.

.

FORSAKING ALL TO BECOME HIS DISCIPLE

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.”

.

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 amazing “Two Turtledoves Constellation” teaches us many lessons.**
