.

“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying,

.

‘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 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

OUR SOLAR SYSTEM’S GREATEST METAPHOR

.

Yes, our Sun happens to be this solar-system’s largest metaphor concerning the Gospel.

And it allegorically represents the greatest truth in all the universe and beyond: That Jesus Christ is “the light of the world”!

.

And as we consider the many wonderful (and even fearful) aspects of the Sun, we can gain a greater understanding of just who is this majestic Being that came to this world long ago, and gave Himself for our redemption!

AUDIO CHAPTER FROM ELLEN WHITE’S BOOK

.

**Well, by scrolling down this page, the Reader can listen to the audio Chapter, “The Light of Life”, from Ellen White’s Book on the life of Jesus.**

.

And in this story-form book, Ellen White took truths from various parts of the Bible, and put them together with the four Gospels to render a broader perspective on the life and ministry of Jesus, during His earthly sojourn on Mankind’s behalf.

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).**

Today’s Devotional, Year 4 – February 4th (Come Out of Her, My People! Part 60: “Remember the 6th Commandment Too!”)

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.

.

Ten Commandments – cropped photo – Wikimedia – Share-alike License 4.0

.

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…”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!

.

.

**LIFE MUST BE GIVEN FOR LIFE!**

.

Now, just one more passage. This one is found in Exodus, when Moses is explaining the law… “If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief (damage) follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman’s husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. And if any mischief (damages) follow, then thou shalt give life for life…” Exodus 21:21-23 (parenthetical comments by website Editor)

.

**In other words, if anyone dies (Old English word, “mischief’), then “life shall be given for life”.**

.

And all of us instinctively know that life begins at conception. And the previously mentioned passage from Luke, (concerning Jesus being just recently conceived), confirms that life begins at conception.

.

.

“…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).

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.” Rev. 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 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!

.

.

“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 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.

.

Holy bible cropped image – – Wikimedia – Creative Commons lic.

.

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

.

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)

.

.

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!‘”)

.

Habakkuk by James Tissot – Wikimedia Commons – US Public Domain

.

“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.”

TODAY’S FEATURED 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.)

.

Sagittarius Constellation star-chart from a wikipedia. Editor of this site has sketched in the Turtle-Doves. Star-chart is under Share-alike license

.

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!

Noble Bereans,

.

Part 52:

“Dead People Speaking!?”

CONTINUED

To read part 1, click here…”September 2nd (Noble Bereans?)”

.

So, in this little series, the subject of those noble Bereans has been introduced…

These were more noble than those in Thessalonica,

in that they received the Word with all readiness of mind,

and searched the Scriptures daily,

whether those things were so.”

Acts 17:10, 11

St Paul Preaching (Raphael, 1515) Wikipedia US public domain

.

AN OPEN-MINDED SPIRIT IN BEREA

.

Okay, so those in Berea were more noble, because they:

.

1. “Received the Word with all readiness of mind.”

.

2. “And searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so.”

.

And so, these open-minded, truth-seeking Bereans were ready and even eager to receive new teachings, which no doubt, conflicted with the supposed, “orthodox” teachings of that day!

.

.

THE FALSE PROPHET

.

Ellen White pin-pointed the Revelation 13 “False Prophet” as being Satan rising within the United States of America.

And this 2nd Beast caused the world to bow down to the 1st Beast of Revelation 13 which was the apostate Church of Rome working in the churches of Europe.

.

Harold Camping on the other hand pin-pointed the “False Prophet” as being Satan as he came as an “angel of light” to deceive the world and the churches through his so-called, “ministers of righteousness”. (see 2nd Corinthians 11:14, 15)

.

And in a sense, both Camping and White are correct. In other words, the correct answer is, “All of the above”.

.

ABOVE PICTURE: Satan, The False Prophet who offers a world-loving gospel

.

COUNTERFEIT MIRACLES

.

Yes, Satan’s “False Prophet” is indeed the antichrist spirit which originally rose up in the New World, but is spreading his deadly tentacles around the globe via the fallen apostate churches.

.

And one of the great evidences of this miracle-working spirit is the many counterfeit miracles which the fallen churches are performing.

.

And perhaps the greatest evidence that these signs and wonders are merely counterfeits is the fact that the church-world has become increasingly apostate.

.

.

“And he (The False Prophet, 2nd Beast) doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men”

Revelation 13:13

.

This above verse prophesied of this False Prophet Beast…“and he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men”.

But like so many other prophecies, this one too must be understood spiritually.

.

In other words, what we are now seeing in Christendom is a false, Pentecostal fire in the form of counterfeit “signs and lying wonders”: so-called “tongues”, Falling Backwards, dreams, visions, inner-voices, and such-like. (See 2nd Thessalonians 2:9)

Audience hands – cropped & altered – Wikimedia – Universal Public Domain

.

DREAMS

.

For example, take the phenomenon of dreams.

Many faithful churchgoers are receiving so-called prophetic dreams which they attribute to the Holy Spirit.

And of course, this is the work of the False Prophet who deceives these poor lost souls into believing that God is working marvelously through them.

.

Listen…“And he (the False Prophet Beast) doeth great wonders,

so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth

by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast“

Revelation 13:13, 14

.

This above passage reveals that this False Prophet will deceive men via these counterfeit miracles, making them think they are saved when in truth, they still love this present, selfish world to a great extent.

.

ABOVE PICTURE: Satan, The False Prophet who offers a world-loving gospel

.

LOVING THIS SELFISH WORLD

.

Unfortunately, most faithful churchgoers are still conformed to the qualities of this world and have little desire to become totally renewed into the image of Christ.

After all, why would they ever want to become fully converted and fully Christlike?

That would require them to forsake all.

And they have no desire to forsake all, becoming Christlike.

.

But the False Prophet comes to them, giving them prophetic-like dreams and other lying signs and wonders to deceive them into their false sense of security.

.

ABOVE PICTURE: Satan, The False Prophet who offers a world-loving gospel

.

“COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE”

.

Well, if there is any Good News, it is that God is calling His professed people to, “Come out of her, My people, lest ye partake of her sins and receive of her plagues” Revelation 18:4

.

All who are willing to renounce this selfish world and follow the Lamb to the top of Mount Sion will be counted with the overcomers.

And they will have their Heavenly Father’s true name written in their foreheads (in their hearts).

And that name is defined by the Holy Bible and is the image of true righteousness and holiness.

THE END

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN

.

THESE SIGNS ARE MENTIONED

.

From time to time, the Book of Revelation mentions stars.

But when we get to Revelation Chapter 12, it speaks of two “great signs in heaven”.

First, it speaks of the sign in heaven of a woman with child.

Then it speaks of the sign in heaven of a great red dragon, with a tail that sweeps one-third of the stars and casts these stars down to the earth.

So we get the sense that this phenomenon that the Apostle John was seeing, was closely intertwined with the starry host of the heavens.

**And these two signs in heaven, a woman, and a dragon, are a big part of this website, Signs Of Heaven.**

.

And so this phenomenon that the Apostle John was seeing, was closely intertwined with the starry host of the heavens.

And The Nations Were Angry!

.

Part 5:

“Planet Earth, An Experiment In Selfishness”

CONTINUED

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

.

**In the February 22 devotional (click here to read), it was put forth that this world is “an experiment in selfishness”.**

.

And really, it doesn’t take much observation to see selfishness in action around the world!

**Selfishness is seen in every direction and seemingly seeps through every pore-and-crevice of this fallen world’s societies!**

.

By nature, we are all selfish.

.

And this, our selfishness, is contrasted by the spotless life of Jesus!

He lived a life of self-denying love for the world, culminating with the sacrificing of His own life on the Cross for the Salvation of lost souls!

.

.

“LORD, LORD, HAVE WE NOT…DONE MANY WONDERFUL WORKS?”

Matthew 7:22

.

Now of course, many will be quick to point to all the humanitarianism now occurring in the world, saying, “How can the world be considered selfish, when we engage in so many charitable deeds?”

.

So, what about this?

Is it an unfair charge to make against this world, that we are selfish by nature, when we see so many charitable acts of kindness?

.

.

“THERE IS NONE THAT DOES GOOD: NO NOT ONE!”

Romans 3:12

.

But listen to this…“A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel. ” Proverbs 12:10

.

So just who are these wicked ones mentioned in the above verse?

.

Well, listen to 1st John 5:19… “And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.”

.

So okay, this verse reveals that the entire world is steeped in wickedness.

**And even the “tender mercies” of this wicked world are considered cruel by God.**

.

.

MY SUPPOSED GOODNESS ONLY KEEPS THE LIE GOING!

.

But why are all of this world’s charitable deeds to be considered cruel?

.

Listen again…“Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” 2nd Timothy 3:5

.

This above verse is preceded by a long list of Mankind’s selfish ways.

Listen…“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

For men shall be lovers of their own selves,

covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers…

lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof:

from such turn away.”

2nd Timothy 3:1-5 (heavily condensed for brevity)

.

Wow! What an indictment against humanity that this above passage makes!

.

Shoppers in Toronto – cropped image – Wikimedia – share-alike license

.

“THE WHOLE WORLD LIES IN WICKEDNESS!”

1st John 5:19

.

**And so, if this is Mankind’s self-loving condition, then merely, “having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof”, is just a clever deception!**

A total fraud!

A giant satanic global ruse to give this wicked world a glossy outward sheen!

.

After all, with all these other sinful traits, can we actually believe that fallen humanity is capable of true godliness…without the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit?

.

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

.

THE FALSE PROPHET IS THIS ANTICHRIST WORLD-SYSTEM

.

When we get right down to it, it is this counterfeit godliness only confuses most humans of just how evil this sad world really is.

.

**Thus, Satan has created this counterfeit humanitarianism is an integral part of his deceptive role as “The False Prophet” of Revelation 13 & 17.**

.

**Yes, the False Prophet is actually the spiritual entity which now works in the children of men to deceive us into believing that there is a great force for good, apart from Jesus Christ.**

And that is simply not possible!

.

ABOVE PICTURE: Satan, The False Prophet who offers a world-loving gospel

.

“THAT GOD MIGHT MANIFEST THEM…THAT THEY MIGHT SEE THAT THEY THEMSELVES ARE BEASTS!”

Ecclesiastes 3:18

.

But God is allowing all this to play itself out on the world-stage, so that it will ultimately be seen that there was never any true goodness in this world apart from Christ.

.

Yes, it is only Christ’s goodness, as He worked through His true worshipers, even as it is written…

“There is none righteous, no, not one:

There is none that understandeth,

there is none that seeketh after God.

They are all gone out of the way,

they are together become unprofitable;

there is none that doeth good,

no, not one!”

Romans 3:10-12

Jesus Teaching His Disciples – Luke 4:31-32

.

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY!”

.

Well, in spite of this seemingly hopeless and negative report, there is some very Good News…

Listen…

“Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden,

and I will give you rest.

Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me;

for I am meek and lowly in heart:

and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.”

Matthew 11:28-30

.

Here is the escape plan of all escape plans: a way of escape from this prison-island…

…out of all this sadness, confusion, and madness…

…and into a life that will continue on through the ceaseless ages…

…filled with true love and kindness…

…a Promised Land flowing with Milk and Honey in which we will be forever happy, and forever young!

.

And for every willing soul, that life begins even right now, and continues on into eternity!

THE ARK IN THE HEAVENS

.

So, 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 (for instance, “the seven stars are the angels…” Revelation 1:20).

To the right is a star-chart from Wikipedia, in which the editor of this site has sketched in this Sagittarius Constellation, to show how God created it to appear.

“And the nations were angry,

and Thy wrath is come,

that they should be judged,

Revelation 11:18

.

WOW! It’s hard to be optimistic when the world seems to be spiraling out of control!

.

Yes, this world seems to be going helter-skelter!

.

In the world of politics, the pure venomous hatred between the opposing ideologies has reached a boiling-over point!

.

The mass media news has devolved into little more than yellow journalism, when it comes to anything even vaguely related to politics and social issues.

.

Rogue religions attempting to force themselves upon the world, under the threat of physical violence.

.

Schools increasingly transforming into indoctrination centers for anti-biblical ideologies…

…socialism, evolutionary atheism…

…and now even pushing perverted lifestyles on the students, as though they are normal, even good!

.

The United States justice system is filled with socially/politically activist judges, being weaponized to destroy the enemies of the state.

.

Government leaders committing financial suicide, as the national debt continues to climb out of control!

.

Various ethnic/religious groups becoming increasingly intolerant and disdainful of each other, now increasingly fixated with the insane obsession over skin-color!

.

Colleges becoming increasingly intolerant of any speech which opposes the dominant false ideologies.

.

Censorship by the Internet ‘Goliaths’ is sending many websites into the cyber-abyss because they are not “politically correct” in what they advocate.

.

The number of sick persons around the world is greatly increasing.

.

People becoming increasingly intolerant of each other for social, personal, ethnic, and religious reasons.

.

Various churches and denominations now preaching prosperity-driven gospels, sometimes referred to as, “The Name-It-And-Claim-It Gospel” or even the “Entrepreneurial Spirit”.

.

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

.

And the list goes on and on of how this world is falling apart.

PLANET EARTH: EXPERIMENT IN SELFISHNESS

.

But really, to understand all this global failure, we need to realize that this world was originally just an experiment in selfishness.

.

That’s right, Lucifer, being one of the chief angels of Heaven, thought he had discovered a better way than God’s government of “unselfish love”.

.

And in His infinite wisdom, God allowed Lucifer to bring his rebellion down to this little planet, to show the universe what a terrible ideology Lucifer was trying to peddle: selfishness!

.

And so, this world has been allowed to continue on for the millenniums it has existed until this very day in which everything all around us seems to be failing.

.

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

.

LUCIFER WAS DESTINED FOR FAILURE

.

And God knew all along that this world was destined for failure.

.

But God couldn’t convince us, unless He allowed us to suffer through this experiment in selfishness (And let’s face it! That’s all that sin really is: selfishness!)

.

But if He didn’t show us up close and first-hand, we could never have comprehended just how evil that our selfishness really is!

.

Paradise Lost – G Dore – Wikipedia – public-domain

.

“EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW”

.

And so, now it simply remains for Planet Earth’s inhabitants to bow our knees and confess to God our failure.

.

And this confession will happen! It’s just a matter of time.

.

As things continue to grow worse and worse, the world will soon surrender.

Listen…“for we shall all stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ.

For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord,

every knee shall bow to Me,

and every tongue shall confess to God.”

Today’s Devotional, Year 4 – February 21

.

Mark Now Given?

.

Part 6:

“Killing The Messenger”

To read Part 1, go here… April 3rd (Mark Now Given!)

.

“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

.

In the years following the establishment of the New Testament Church, many Christians were forced to pinch off a tiny amount of incense and sprinkle it on a small altar dedicated to the queen of Heaven.

.

If an individual refused, he or she suffered a cruel death in the Roman arena.

.

The Christian Martyrs Last Prayer – Wikipedia – US Public Domain

.

“THE PROUD HAVE DIGGED PITS FOR ME”

Psalm 119:85

.

But today, Satan is much more sophisticated in his assault against Christians!

.

Right under our noses, “the god of this world” is now implementing unjust laws and economic strategies which will test each and every church, ministry, and individual regarding “who do I truly serve and worship?”

.

“NO MAN MIGHT BUY OR SELL”

.

One such stratagem appears to be the age-old practice of “killing the messenger”.

.

In other words, as the old saying goes, “If you can’t kill the message, then kill the messenger!”

.

“A KINGDOM DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF…CANNOT STAND”

Mark 3:24

.

Just look at the world of politics.

You don’t have to wait too long before you behold some political figure becoming the victim of what is commonly referred to as, “character assassination”.

No, the world of politics has devolved into an increasingly toxic environment.

The hatred between the two dominant “horns” of political power is becoming so fiercely venomous that it is frightening to behold!

.

And don’t imagine for a moment that such cruel hate won’t be turned against Christians in the near future!

.

ABOVE PICTURE: Mark of the beast – pub. dom. – Wikipedia

.

“GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISES”

2nd Peter 1:4

.

Well, the Good News is, that we have many “great and precious promises” with which to cling to in the coming months… “Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.” 1st John 3:13

.

Or how about this…

“For I have heard the slander of many:

fear was on every side:

while they took counsel together against me,

they devised to take away my life.

But I trusted in thee, O LORD:

I said, Thou art my God.

My times are in Thy hand:

deliver me from the hand of mine enemies”

Psalm 31:13-15

.

Yes, the Bible is literally teeming with such passages designed to comfort and strengthen the hearts of God’s people during the coming conflict.

.

USMC – Prayer before Bible study – Wikimedia – Public Domain

.

“THROUGH KNOWLEDGE SHALL THE JUST BE DELIVERED”

Proverbs 11:9

.

So, let’s be hiding these passages in our hearts so that we may say… “Concerning the works of men, by the word of Thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.” Psalms 17:4

.

“It is time for thee, LORD, to work:

for they have made void thy law”

Psalm 119:126

LOCATING THE DRAGON

.

**The 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 the very same constellation that comprises the head of Taurus the Bull.**

In other words, Hyades is also known as the head of Taurus the Bull.

And Hyades is the mouth of this Dragon.

.

The tip of the Dragon’s tail is composed of that star-cluster known as The Pleiades.

The Pleiades is actually in the shape of a lion’s furry tassel tip of his tail.

The sketch below shows this Pleiades as the tail tip.

.

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

The front and back legs are very well-defined with stars.

The front legs are made partially of Taurus.

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

But 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.

This Dragon constellation appears in the eastern horizon about mid-summer in the pre-dawn hours, spewing his flood-waters northward toward the Woman of Revelation 12 (Woman in Travail).

The Wave of Water is primarily composed of the Constellation Auriga.

The are two more less bright stars which are closest to the Dragon’s mouth.

These two dimmer stars are also part of this Wave of Water.

We Wrestle Not Against Flesh & Blood!

.

Part 6,

“Satan’s Psychological War Against Our Children!”

CONTINUED

To read part 1, go here…JANUARY 15 (We Wrestle Not Against Flesh & Blood!)

.

“When ye therefore shall see

the abomination of desolation,

spoken of by Daniel the prophet,

stand in the holy place,

(whoso readeth, let him understand:)

Then let them which be in Judaea

flee into the mountains:”

Matthew 24:15, 16

.

Whether we know it or not, or like it or not, we Christians must face the awful truth that we are the current residents of this, Lucifer’s kingdom of sin and selfishness! (see 2nd Corinthians 4:4)

.

But God has placed us here as a type of, “training and learning school”, for the purpose of purifying our hearts from every trace of love for selfishness, pride, or from any other sinful attraction this world produces!

.

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

.

“FLEE TO THE MOUNTAINS!”

Matthew 24:16 & Mark 13:14 & Luke 21:21

.

But the Bible prophesied that the hour would come when God’s people are to flee to the mountains, much the same as Lot fled to the mountain from that doomed city, Sodom.

.

Unfortunately, we live in a day when it is no longer legal to merely set up some mountainous camp like Abraham and later, his nephew, Lot.

.

MODERN-DAY SODOM

.

But Satan is now flooding this society with pornography like never before in history!

.

With the advent of Internet, it is possible for anyone, young and old alike, to simply click a button and view the most heinous images imaginable!

.

And if that’s not bad enough, just taking children through one of the big box stores becomes Satan’s means of sexually grooming them, via all the explicit signage in the clothing and video isles!

.

Or turn on just about any FM radio station, and sensual music can be heard by children and adults alike!

Revelation 12:15

.

Yes, the Dragon is spewing out his wave of poisonous water, “which drown men in destruction and perdition.” 1st Timothy 6:9

.

But what can we do about it?

.

How can we and our children ever hope to escape from this flood of evil sweeping over this land?

.

We can’t just pack up and legally flee to the literal mountains like in olden times!

GOD’S “MOUNTAIN OF HOLINESS”

Jeremiah 31:23

.

Our only hope is to flee into God’s “mountain of His holiness”! Psalm 48:1

.

That’s the only safe refuge and mountainous stronghold available to today’s Christian.

.

.

“THOU ART MY HIDING PLACE!”

Psalm 32:7

.

So, how are we to accomplish such a thing?

.

Well, this heavenly Sion can only be climbed by those whom the Lord allows to climb.

And so, this end-time exodus begins with fervent pleading for mercy and grace by the Believer.

.

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

.

**Here we have the solution, not only for us, but also for our well-prayed-for family members.**

We must make it up that mountain our own selves, if we ever expect or hope for our family to follow along also!

But take heart and do not get discouraged, O Christian Pilgrim!

God has given us great and precious promises to cling to along the way, such as this…

“Being confident of this very thing,

that He which hath begun a good work in you

will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ”

Philippians 1:6

With such promises as this, how can we lose?

SIGN IN HEAVEN

.

Well, If you look up and lift up your head, you just might see a wonderful sign, which God spoke about in Revelation 12.

It is a constellation of a woman.

The ancients only saw it as a great bear.

**It is commonly known as Ursa Major .**

**It is also known as the 7 Stars (aka, The Big Dipper), but with the addition of various other stars.**

.

But with the eye of faith, it actually appears as the Revelation 12 Woman.

You see, God has placed in the heavens, the symbol of His bride, the Church-Faithful.

.

Listen… “And there appeared a great wonder (sign) in heaven; a woman…

And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered…

And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle,

that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place…

from the face of the serpent.

Revelation 12:1, 2, 14.

.

***TRAVAILING* IN SUMMER, *FLEEING IN WINTER***

.

In the summer night-sky, just as this passage says, she appears as the woman-in-travail.

**But in the winter, she flips upside-down, to appear as the Fleeing Woman of Revelation 12, just as this passage states.**

But whether this Virtuous Woman is in labor pains, or fleeing to the mountains, she is the heavenly icon of God’s bride, His Church.

.

And now we need to explore how this fleeing woman in the heavens relates to us, the Church.

Just like this fleeing woman, we too, need to flee from the wrath to come.

But how do we flee?

And where do we flee to?

Well just read this article and you will find out exactly what the Bible has to say about all this.

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – August 13

.

A 3-Finger Judgment-Day,

.

Part 15:

“The Power of the Air Mockers”

To read Part 1, click here…January 20th (A 3-Fingered Judgment-Day)

.

“Therefore thou art inexcusable,

O man, whosoever thou art that judgest:

for wherein thou judgest another,

thou condemnest thyself;

for thou that judgest

doest the same things.”

Romans 2:1

.

I AM GUILTY OF THE SAME!

.

There’s a whole lot of finger-pointing going on these days, wouldn’t you agree?

.

Well, today’s devotional is still attempting to further bring out this concept, that at whatever point we judge another, we are guilty of the same.

.

**Listen again…*“Therefore thou art inexcusable,***

O man, whosoever thou art that judgest:

for wherein thou judgest another,

thou condemnest thyself;

***for thou that judgest* *doest the same things.”***

Romans 2:1

.

Yes, the Bible forewarns us that when we point the accusing finger at someone else, there are three fingers pointing back at us: THREE FINGERS FROM HEAVEN!

.

.

The Mockers of the Airwaves

.

For those of us so-called Christians who have foolishly allowed ourselves to become entranced with, and captive to the daily political wranglings, via Television, Internet, and radio…

.

**…we have unwittingly allowed this “Prince of the Power of the Air” to fill our hearts with his poisonous venom which he spews out on a 24/7/365 basis!**

.

But the Bible warns us…“Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.” 1st Corinthians 15:33

.

**Yes, when we allow our soul-temple to be defiled with “evil communications”, it pollutes our heart and mind and impacts our speech and conduct in everyday matters!**

.

Thus, our lackadaisical indiscretion results in our unchristlikeness and makes us unable to “Purify [ourselves] even as He (Christ) is pure“, nor to “walk even as He (Jesus) walked” (See 1st John 2:6 & 3:3)

.

SATAN STEALS OUR PERFECT PEACE

.

**One great problem with listening to Satan’s whisperings, is that this is how this “Accuser of our brethren” gains access into our hearts and minds (see Revelation 12:10).**

.

**And once we allow him access, he often begins to torment us with all sorts of “evil surmisings” about the motives of the hearts of others. (1st Timothy 6:4)**

.

We must remember the Wise Man’s advice…

…”Keep thy heart with all diligence;

for out of it are the issues of life.

Put away from thee a froward mouth,

and perverse lips put far from thee.

Let thine eyes look right on,

and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.

Ponder the path of thy feet,

and let all thy ways be established.

Turn not to the right hand nor to the left:

remove thy foot from evil.”

Proverbs 4:24-27

.

Yes, to guard the avenues to the soul, not allowing Satan any access, is our first and foremost duty!

THREE FACES IN THE MOON

.

You see, God has inscribed three faces in the Moon, and this first face is that of a man (picture right).

.

The other two faces are that of animals: beasts, if you will.

.

And while one of the other two faces is that of a fierce predator, and the other, a forest forager, this 1st face (picture right) is of a very sympathetic-looking human, even just a bit sad, and even just a bit more horror-stricken.

SHOCK AND SADNESS

.

Just look at this Watchman’s sad-looking eyes!

.

And yet with a dropped-jaw expression, he looks rather shocked!

But who wouldn’t be shocked, looking down on this tragic and horrible and selfish world!

.

After all, just think of all that this Watchman sees in the night!

.

Murders and beatings, kidnappings and slave-tradings, drugs and alcohol dependencies, inhumanity and indifferent unsympathetic disregard, racism and bigotry, lust and perversions, thefts and hoarding, imprisonment and torture, sickness and suffering, destruction and death!

“For he (unsaved mankind) flattereth himself in his own eyes,

until his iniquity be found to be hateful.”

Psalm 36:1, 2

.

“SATAN…DECEIVES THE WHOLE WORLD”

Revelation 12:9

.

And so, in part 1 of 3-Dollar-Bill-Love (click here to read), it was established that Satan deceives the world into believing that they do not need God because they have, “a form of godliness”.

.

And concerning this world’s phony love, society has a crude comparison they use regarding any type of phoniness’, “It’s as phony as a 3-dollar bill!”

.

***“What!?”, most people will exclaim, “Are you trying to tell me that all the love and humanitarian goodness in society is the product of Satan!?”***

.

Well, that’s what the Bible says…“And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.” 1st John 5:19

.

**Yes, the “WHOLE world lieth in wickedness”, not just some!**

.

THREE DOLLAR BILL – Wikipedia – Public Domain

“IN ME…DWELLS NO GOOD THING”

Romans 7:18

.

And though it seems as if there is some level of love apart from God, much of it is merely the product of the Antichrist spirit which rules over and even indwells the citizens of this, their Luciferian world!

.

Therefore, without God’s indwelling Spirit, all the counterfeit love and compassion of this world is destined to fail!

Because very soon, God’s people will witness just how deceived we really were!

And “the day will declare it!” (1st Corinthians 3:13)

.

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

.

“A FORM OF GODLINESS” APART FROM GOD?

.

**So, what we need to understand is that “the god of this world”, Lucifer, must cover up the true nature of evil which makes up his kingdom of this world.**

.

Therefore, as a means of deceiving the world he has raised up this relatively new phenomenon of humanitarianism, making us think that “Oh, we don’t really need God’s love! We have our own love and compassion!”

.

And just listen to the radio and television! Humanitarian advertisements fill the airways in this current world!

It seems that society has gone wild for humanitarianism!

In just about every area of life!

“COMPASSIONATE WOMEN HAVE BOILED THEIR OWN CHILDREN; THEY BECAME THEIR FOOD…”

Lamentations 4:10

.

This above verse from Lamentations 4:10 foretells of the day when loving and compassionate women will be eating their own children (and visa-versa).

.

Oh yes, this prophecy was partially fulfilled during the siege of Jerusalem in 70 A.D.

.

But the judgments which are now ready to be poured out will be on a much greater scale!

.

And then there will be no more doubt as to just how hollow and deceitful all the world’s social-justice really was (and is).

And with merely a handful of giant websites, the human race has now fallen victim of a new form of tyrannical totalitarianism!

Yes, there is a way of escape from this totally evil condition in this entirely wicked and selfish world we live in!

Yes, there is a fountain in which, if a man, woman, or child drinks freely from, that soul can become filled with true love and true goodness!

.

And God is the only source of true love!

.

And so, let’s not wait until that dreadful day to find out the truth; but let’s right now become “wise as serpents, and harmless as doves”, as we begin our heavenward sojourn out of this deceptively evil world! (see Matthew 10:16)

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).

From the tiniest atom to the greatest galaxy, and even beyond, God has inscribed some aspect of the Gospel.

“THE MOON INTO BLOOD”

Joel 2:31

.

But the Moon is our object lesson for today.

And each of its three faces were purposely inscribed by God to teach us about our own self.

.

3rd Face in Moon-scavenger-www.signsofheaven.org

.

“BEWARE OF DOGS, BEWARE OF EVIL WORKERS, BEWARE OF THE CONCISION!”

Philippians 3:2

.

Take for instance the second face: the wolf, or perhaps a fox, or a dog.

.

This wolf-like face with one raised, judgmental eyebrow, gives us a fitting portrait of a scornful, judgmental human.

.

And it reminds us of the Old Testament sect, known as The Pharisees, or “Dogs…the Concision”. Philippians 3:2

.

Yes, those Pharisees were a very judgmental group, who took pride that they were very moral and upright, and looked down upon others whom they supposed were not so morally upright.

.

A WORLD OF INEQUALITIES!

.

And in this very proud world, there are many things which cause us to judge and scorn.

And there are many people who just seem to be magnets for others to judge and scorn them.

.

And because we all innately possess pride in our hearts, looking down upon, and judging others, comes to us about as natural as breathing!

.

Quite often, we’re not even aware that we’re doing it!

.

The Mockers by Illarion Michajlowitsch Prjanischnikow -Wikipedia – Public Domain

.

“But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise”

1st Corinthians 1:27

.

We judge those who look funny or dress weird.

.

We judge those who habitually make poor decisions in life.

.

We judge the quirky mannerisms and odd behavior of old people.

.

And we often judge those whom we think are “lazy”,

or dirty,

or poor,

or rich,

or “nerds”,

or “hip”,

or in a cult,

or in a world-loving gospel,

or are “too religious”,

or believe supposed false doctrines.

GOD, NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS

.

This entire world is full of inequities.

And people tend to judge just about anything and anyone whom they see as being less than themselves in some way!

.

But listen to what Peter had to say about God…

“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said,

Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons…”

Acts 10:34

.

God values the soul of the poor drunken beggar just as much as the soul of the wealthy entrepreneur.

He values the soul of the high-stepping politician just as much as He does the starving multitudes in third-world nations.

.

He bled and died to save even that poor, miserable wretch bent over from a life of drug abuse!

.

.

“JUDGES OF EVIL THOUGHTS?”

.

Listen to James speak about judging…

“My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ…

with respect of persons.

For if there come unto your assembly

a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel,

and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment…

and say unto him (the rich), Sit thou here in a good place;

and say to the poor, Stand thou there…

Are ye not…become judges of (with) evil thoughts?

James 2:1-4

.

Well, none of us can say that we haven’t judged or even scorned somebody.

And probably, most of us have done so, a multitude of times!

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY”

Proverbs 25:25

.

The Good News is, that this is still the Day of Salvation!

.

And God is giving us just enough time to repent of this horrible crime against Heaven.

.

And God will sit as a purifier of our hearts, and remove all Pharisaic pride, if we will just cry out to Him for mercy.

.

But just one tidbit of advice which will be a benefit for each of us: whenever we catch ourselves judging another individual, for Heaven’s sake, simply begin praying for God’s blessing on that dear soul, for whom Christ also bled & died!

.

One last verse for us to ponder…

“Speak not evil one of another, brethren.

He that speaketh evil of his brother,

and judgeth his brother,

speaketh evil of the law,

and judgeth the law:

but if thou judge the law,

thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.

There is one Lawgiver,

who is able to save and to destroy:

who art thou that judgest another?”

James 4:9-11

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.

.

He is very moral, you see!

Come Out of Her, My People!

.

Part 59:

“Come Out of Her Public Schools, My People!”

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

.

“Babylon is fallen, is fallen...Come out of her, My people…”, is the call which God is now trumpeting to the world.

.

Yes, God wants His people to begin a spiritual exodus out of the hopeless madness of this doomed planet, and begin their heavenward sojourn to “the Celestial City of God” (as John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress called it).

SCHOOLS NOW FULLY FALLEN

.

But today’s devotional will home-in on just one part of Babylon, the world: the public school system.

.

Oh yes, for many decades, Christian parents have been aghast over the antichrist curriculum of the public-school systems, in which atheist philosophies were daily force-fed to the children: atheism, socialism, evolution, etc..

.

.

GROWING SUICIDE RATE

.

Young schoolchildren have long been indoctrinated into atheism/Darwinism, thus entering into adulthood with no moral compass, and no divine purpose.

.

“Humans are an accident of nature” is a lie which many secular teachers are unknowingly (or knowingly) filling the minds of their pupils with.

.

And also, statistics are showing increasing numbers of suicides during each school season, when young people are made to suffer various forms of peer-pressure and even peer-oppression!

.

In other words, suicides occur less when school season is over.

SODOM RISING

.

But now! But NOW, if these aforementioned atrocities weren’t intolerable enough, a new threat has emerged!

.

Yes, who would have ever thought that the western societies could become so wicked that first graders, and on up, would become the victims of sexualization…

.

…and sexualization of the worst kinds of perversions, foisted on them by the very adults which we wrongfully imagined to be their moral guardians!

.

Yes, the devolution of society has gotten so bad that it might even make the citizens of ancient Sodom and Gomorrah blush!

.

.

FAKE HISTORY NOW TAUGHT TO ENCOURAGE RACISM

.

And just look at what they’re now doing to history, as they are beginning to rewrite history books to malign the western cultures as being hopelessly racist!

.

Oh yes, racism and slavery were indeed, a dark, dark stain on the societies of the past (some evil nations still use slave labor).

.

But not being content with the subject of slavery already being taught in schools, they are now going to re-write, omit…

.

…and embellish history books until they exaggerate the whole foundation, sum and substance of America appear to be entirely about slavery and racism…

.

…ignoring that the vast majority of Americans of that era never even owned slaves, much less approved of it!

.

Certainly not true worshippers of God! Just the opposite! True Christians vocally opposed slavery, and called for its abolishment!

.

But now this society is even teaching school children to judge one-another, based, not on the content of character, but rather, on skin-color!

.

Unthinkable!

.

Astonishing!

.

Utterly insane and intolerable!

.

DUMBING DOWN CURRICULUM

.

As if the insanity in schools hasn’t already peaked, the newest madness comes in the form of the elimination of advanced courses, to “level the playing field” for under-achievers.

.

In other words, because some students perform less than others, the schools are beginning to eliminate advanced courses so that “the under-achievers won’t feel inferior”.

HABAKKUK SAYS “RUN!”

.

God prophesied through the prophet Habakkuk that the world’s final hour would come, in which the Book of Habakkuk would begin to speak.

.

**And when that hour would finally arrive, God’s people would be commanded to “Run!”.**

(Read the 19-part series, “T oday’s Devotional – August 11th (Habakkuk Says “Run!”)

.

ABOVE PICTURE: TV indoctrination – www.signsofheaven.org – not for commercial uses

.

RUN, CHRISTIAN, RUN!

.

And so, we must flee to the mountains!

.

And those mountains which we are to flee to are spoken of in various places, such as this…

“He 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 (Parenthesis by web Editor)

.

Here is where we must flee!

.

Into those spiritual mountain strongholds, even as God once warned Lot in Genesis 19, to flee to the literal mountain in his day…

…”Escape for thy life;

look not behind thee,

neither stay thou in all the plain;

escape to the mountain,

lest thou be consumed.”

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY”

Proverbs 25:25

.

And the Good News is, that God has promised a New Heaven and a New Earth in which all the redeemed ones will enjoy a world in which no sinful darkness will ever exist again.

.

It is a good land, a land flowing with “sincere milk of the Word”, and “honey out of the Rock”, in which we will never grow old, but be forever joyful, forever content, and forever young! (1st Peter 2:2 & Psalm 81:16)

REVELATION 12 WOMAN CONSTELLATION

.

**This page is about the Big Dipper, also called the Great Bear constellation (Ursa Major ).**

.

However, the ancient pagan cultures did not see this constellation as God intended it to be seen.

.

It is actually a headless woman in childbirth.

.

This is seen in springtime in the northern skies.

.

But as the seasons progress, this travailing woman flips upside down, now appearing as a woman with upraised arms like eagle wings.

.

She begins running (and eventually flying, as shown in sketch on right) into the wilderness (westward).

.

The single star representing her birth-child (Christ) now becomes her head (“Christ is the head of the church.” Ephesians 5:23

.

The 7 Stars (Big Dipper) is easy to see with its very bright 7 stars. But the Revelation 12 Woman (Ursa Major) must be seen on a dark starry night, away from city lights.

.

These are star charts from Wikipedia, with sketches of the Woman added.

Daily Devotional, Year 4, August 3

.

Satan, The Father of Lies

.

&

.

Every Man a Liar

.

“Ye are of your father the devil,

and the lusts of your father ye will do.

He was a murderer from the beginning,

and abode not in the truth,

because there is no truth in him.

When he speaketh a lie,

he speaketh of his own:

for he is a liar,

and the father of it.”

John 8:44

.

“…let God be true,

but every man a liar…”

Romans 3:4

.

**Do you see what this above verse is saying? It reveals that Satan is “a liar, and the Father of it”, as it states in the above quote from John 8:44.**

.

**And just who are the children of Satan, that Liar-in-Chief of this fallen world?**

.

Well, of course! All the unsaved citizens of this, his antichrist world-system, are his children, prior to our personal Salvation!

.

Thus, the whole unsaved human race fulfills the second verse, “let God be true, and every man a liar”! Romans 3:4

.

Yes, every one of us are liars, according to this above verse, prior to our salvation!

.

.

INTERNET DEPRAVITY!

.

Since the advent of the Internet and cell phones, the world has been increasingly exposed to all the predators, liars, tricksters, groomers, and scammers who attempt to steal whatever they can, via these devices.

.

Multiple times per day, some fraudster may call you and attempt to lure you into any one of a thousand different schemes! And the Internet is just as bad!

.

Needless to say, this flood of lies and deceptions has taken its toll on the human race.

.

Jaded and leery, the multitudes of humanity, especially the young, are drowning in a sea of despair over this increasingly hopeless world, which itself is likewise sinking into the bottomless pit of depravity and immorality!

THE EVOLUTION HOAX

.

For many decades, The Master-Deceiver has been brainwashing our children into atheism in the public schools!

.

Even schoolbooks are repeating the fake myths and hoaxes, already exposed and discredited decades earlier, using the same phony charts and imaginary pictures once created by artists, all in attempt to keep the lie of “Evolution” going!

.

And now, public schools are even re-writing history books to promote racism!

.

Unthinkable, but true!

“And Jesus…said…Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation”

Matthew 12:25

.

Just look at the political arena! What do we see out there in today’s world of politics?

.

In the red-hot politics of this divided nation, the lies are coming out of Washington DC and the state capitols, fast & furious!

.

The dishonesty is so overwhelming, that it almost takes the breath away! Or at least it SHOULD almost take our breath away!

.

News accounts which were proven false are often repeated EVEN AFTER they were proven false!

“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.”

Oh yes, it’s always been a dishonest world. And a good share of politicians have always been deceptive…all through time.

.

But never has this world’s dishonesty been exposed to the degree that it’s now being exposed to today’s onlooking, voyeuristic, media-obsessed public!

PANDEMIC HOAX

.

Just a few years ago, the public was so amazed to witness the government so willing to make false claims about the Covid pandemic, along with the so-called “vaccines”, masks, statistics, and many other aspects concerning Covid.

.

And a great percentage of the populace became horrified at the dishonesty of the Internet goliaths in their banning, censoring of any websites which disagreed with the politically correct covid narrative put forth by the world government authorities.

.

DECEPTIONS UNMASKED!

.

It would take much too long to enumerate even a small portion of the lies, and cheating coming out of the political community, via the vast majority of extremely dishonest major media outlets!

.

But for just one example, the most infamous lie was, perhaps, when the public was repeatedly told that, “wearing masks is next to worthless!”

.

But when the supplies of masks became abundant, masks suddenly became, “the most critically existential thing a person could do to save themselves and the world”!

.

Of course, this was only just the beginning of the avalanche of lies which followed

.

But anyone can either scan the Internet, and/or watch opposing news outlets, to get up to speed about the myriad of lies and coverups being witnessed by the listening/viewing public, thrust on them by a vast number of politicians, via the major media!

.

But, if that’s not incredible enough, perhaps even more amazing is how the general public is so willing to listen to, and accept, and even approve of things they know, deep down, are not true!

.

Yes, a great percentage of the populace doesn’t seem to even care if they’re being lied to, daily, as long as it bolsters their personal political/social biases!

.

“And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood…”

Revelation 12:15

.

Well, all this giant tsunami of dishonesty flowing out of the media, and the public’s willingness to be lied to, can be explained by today’s two signature Bible verses.

.

In short, this antichrist world-system is owned and operated by, “the god of this world”, Satan, whom Jesus called “The Father of Lies”, as Jesus likewise referred to the unsaved multitudes as Satan’s followers.

.

The Bible reveals that we are all indwelt with “the spirit of error”, prior to our personal Salvation! (2nd Corinthians 4:4 & 1st John 4:6)

.

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY”

Proverbs 25:25

.

Well, in spite of this very discouraging report, there remains some really Good News from the heavenly Promised Land!

.

Yes, there exists an escape route out of this ever-increasing pandemic madness, utter futility, and abject hopelessness!

.

The Bible reveals the following promise…

“Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden,

and I will give you rest.

Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me;

for I am meek and lowly in heart:

and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.”

Matthew 11:28-30

.

And soon, all weary pilgrims will enter into a world in which truth and light, joy and peace reign supreme.

.

Yes, “The New Heaven and New Earth” awaits all those who make this sojourn to the Promised Land! (Revelation 21:1)

THE END

.

DRAGON’S WAVE OF WATER

.

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

.

**However, the Dragon of Revelation 12 Constellation up in the night sky does not.**

.

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

.

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

.

The main body of the wave has seven stars (#’s 1 thru 7, in the sketch), and the tip of the crest of the wave has the other three stars, (#’s 8, 9, 10).

.

So in this wave, we see the same 7/10 numbering found in the Revelation description of the heads/horns/crowns of the Dragon.

.

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

.

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

.

Listen again… “When the waves of death compassed me…THE FLOODS OF UNGODLY MEN made me afraid. The sorrows of Hell compassed me about;” 2nd Samuel 22:5.

.

Habakkuk Says “Run!”,

.

Part 20:

“High-Tech: Swifter Than Leopards!”

TO READ PART 1, CLICK HERE…August 11th (Habakkuk Says “Run!”)

.

“For, lo, I (the Lord) raise up the Chaldeans…

Their horses also are swifter than the leopards,

and are more fierce than the evening wolves…

They shall come all for violence:

their faces shall sup up as the east wind,

and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.”

Habakkuk 1:6-9

.

Up until the mid-twentieth century, there was a steady and gradual downhill decline of morality and Christianity in the “western nations”: the very nations which once enthusiastically embraced the Christian Reformation.

.

But with the advent of modern media, the decline began to become a rapidly descending slope!

.

.

HABAKKUK NOW SPEAKING

.

And concerning the spiritual decline of those nations, let it also be said that there are many who have sought to understand the Book of Habakkuk over the past centuries.

.

But this was not possible, because the vision of Habakkuk had not yet been revealed.

.

This is because Habakkuk was written especially for our day.

.

And now, the vision of Habakkuk is finally able to speak to our current situation in the world.

.

.

And just what is today’s situation that makes the Book of Habakkuk relevant?

.

.

GOD’S PEOPLE SURROUNDED

.

Well, let’s listen to Habakkuk’s complaint to the Lord…

“Therefore the law is slacked,

and judgment doth never go forth:

for the wicked doth compass about the righteous;

therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.”

Habakkuk 1:4

.

Here is seen that the prophet is perplexed and distraught concerning the overwhelming flood of unbelievers which cause God’s people to “err in vision, and stumble in judgment”. Isaiah 28:7

.

.

SWIFTER THAN LEOPARDS

.

Now, today’s devotional is titled, “High-Tech: Swifter Than Leopards!”

.

So, just what has happened that causes this title to be fulfilled?

.

Listen again to our signature passage for the day…

“For, lo, I (the Lord) raise up the Chaldeans,

that bitter and hasty nation,

which shall march through the breadth of the land,

to possess the dwellingplaces that are not theirs…

Their horses also are swifter than the leopards,

and are more fierce than the evening wolves…

They shall come all for violence:

their faces shall sup up as the east wind,

and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.”

Habakkuk 1:6-9

.

Here is seen, howbeit in veiled allegorical language that in the last days, the Chaldeans (the unsaved multitudes of the world & worldly church) will come as swift as leopards to spoil God’s people!

.

HIGH-TECH NOW MAKES IT POSSIBLE!

.

Never before has such a thing been possible until our day. But with the advent of television, radio, and Internet, this is now all too possible!

.

Just think about it! By means of these modern-day high-tech inventions, a rapidly growing portion of the world can receive images almost instantaneously! Around the world!

.

And even in the third-world nations, television and Internet are now possible!

.

TELEVISION: THE MODERN-DAY PIED PIPER!

.

**Yes, by means of the modern-day pied-pipers, called television, radio, and Internet, the entire world is now under the control of these swifter-than-leopards devices.**

.

SATAN THE TRUE ENEMY

.

And even though TV has been mass-produced by humanity, nevertheless, mankind is not the true villain here.

.

No, the Bible tells us…

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,

but against principalities, against powers,

against the rulers of the darkness of this world,

against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God,

that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day,

and having done all, to stand!”

Ephesians 6:12, 13

.

**Here is seen that it is not flesh-and-blood which is the enemy!**

.

But it is the unseen spiritual forces of darkness which are orchestrating the events, the inventions, and the tides-of-change sweeping through the land, “swifter than leopards, and more fierce than the evening wolves”!

SATAN IN CONTROL LIKE NEVER BEFORE

.

Satan now has the ability to control the world like never before in history, via these high-tech inventions!

.

And let’s not forget that the Bible calls him, “‘The Prince of the Power of the Air’, that spirit that now works in the children of disobedience!” Ephesians 2:2

.

**And via these “power of the air” devices, he can now marshal the peoples of the world in unison against the armies of Heaven and against the chosen and elect remnant-people of God!**

HABAKKUK SAYS, “RUN!”

.

And so, just what is the solution to this seemingly impossible situation?

.

Well, the prophet Habakkuk says in Chapter 2…

“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

.

Here we see that it is now time to “RUN!”

.

Here it is seen that it is no more time to be planting, building, buying, selling, marrying (and divorcing)!

.

No, it is time for God’s sorely tried people to run to the safety and refuge in the appointed hiding place in the heavenly “everlasting mountains” which surround the “Jerusalem now…in bondage to sin” (see Genesis 49:26 & Galatians 4:25)

.

.

FLEE TELEVISION!

.

Well, obviously, the very first place to run for safety is from the presence of these unwholesome influences.

.

But we are not to force others into submission to our will!

.

And so, in the secret pavilion of God, the Believer can pray for his or her family, that they too may eventually come along on this end-time exodus out of this world.

.

Yes, as Habakkuk encourages, “but the just shall live by his faith. ” Habakkuk 2:4

.

And our faith will continually grow as we exercise great patience in waiting for our family’s salvation without attempting to force them into submission!

TODAY’S HEAVENLY SIGN

.

WIDE & NARROW GATES IN THE HEAVENS

.

This sketch below is when these constellations are in the eastern sky in early winter (However, this constellation group can even be seen as early as July, in the pre-dawn hours).

.

In the eastern sky, it’s not so easily seen which gate the Revelation 12 Woman will enter.

.

**The Wide Gate is made of the two brightest stars of this Wave of Water Constellation.**

.

Satan spews out the deadly water of his false worldly ideologies; which many of these ideologies have a form of godliness, but in some way are not in harmony; or perhaps these worldly ideologies add to the Bible, which is strictly forbidden (see Deuteronomy 4:2).

.

**On the other hand, the Strait Gate (narrow gate) is composed of the two brightest stars of the Orion The Reaper’s sickle. The true Strait Gate represents Jesus, the Word of God.**

.

Listen… “I [Jesus] am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.” John 10:9

Daily Devotional, Year 4, April 2: (ABC Christianity)

Daily Devotional, Year 4: April 2

.

ABC Christianity

.

“But the anointing which ye have received of Him abideth in you,

and ye need not that any man teach you…”

1st John 2:27 (Condensed).

.

When you were young, did one of your friends ever offer you ABC gum?

.

**And you said, “Sure!”, only to see them pull gum out of their mouth, and hand it to you!**

Then they laughingly explained that ABC stood for “Already Been Chewed”!

.

Okay, so that joke only worked one time, leaving you a little embarrassed, but just a little bit wiser!

.

Chewed gums wikimedia share-alike license

.

HAVING OTHERS CHEW OUR FOOD!

.

Well, for some reason, too many Christians are seeking after ABC Christianity!

.

What’s that, you ask?

.

ABC Christianity is when a churchgoer reads everything but the Bible!

It’s as if we’re afraid of the Bible!

It’s as if we need to have somebody else chew it for us!

As if we have no spiritual teeth!

.

Holy bible – wikimedia – cropped image – creative commons lic.

.

“Despise not prophesyings. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.”

1st Thessalonians 5:20, 21

.

Oh yes, there may be some very nice books in the Christian bookstore.

.

And of course, there’s nothing wrong with reading (or listening to) a biblical perspective.

.

But if we are not extremely well-grounded in the Bible, how are we to discern whether or not we are reading 100% truth?

.

After all, Satan is a master at concealing lies in a book or a sermon, or a Bible study, which contains 90% truth.

.

.

90% OATMEAL

.

It’s like the proverbial mouse poison.

.

You can’t fool the mouse, unless you first mix the poison with 99% oatmeal!

.

And thus, it is with religious books!

Oh yes, they may have many Scriptures mingled in.

.

But more often than not, they have some sort of lie mingled in, too!

.

.

***KNOW THE REAL THING,* *SPOT THE COUNTERFEIT!***

.

After all, even the people of the world know that you don’t discover counterfeit money by studying counterfeit money.

.

No, counterfeit money is detected by studying real money!

And thus, it is also with Christianity.

A Christian must study the real thing first: the Bible!

And only then can he or she easily spot the counterfeit doctrines.

.

.

“PUT YE NOT CONFIDENCE IN A GUIDE”

Micah 7:5

.

But even some of the great radio preachers of yesteryear, have errors in the otherwise good teachings!

.

We just can’t leave the responsibility of our soul’s Salvation in the hands of erring, fallible men!

No matter how much we respect or even revere them!

.

Listen to the apostle, John…

“But the anointing which ye have received of Him abideth in you,

and ye need not that any man teach you:

but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things,

and is truth, and is no lie,

and even as it hath taught you,

ye shall abide in Him.”

1st John 2:27.

.

So here we see that God is telling us that we just don’t really need anybody to teach us!

.

We have the Holy Spirit to teach us (if we’re truly saved).

.

“WHEN FOR THE TIME YE OUGHT TO BE TEACHERS”

.

And each and every Christian should come to the point of reaching “teacher-status”.

.

Listen to Paul…

“For when for the time ye ought to be teachers,

***ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of* *the oracles of God;***

and are become such as have need of milk,

and not of strong meat.”

Hebrews 5:12.

.

Paul is scolding us, because we have been letting others do our Bible studying and even do our thinking for us, when instead, we ourselves should be teachers by now!

.

Apostle Paul Wikipedia Public Domain

.

SLINGING STONES…AND NOT MISS!

.

So in conclusion, each and every one of us needs to become so well-grounded in the Bible that, we each can… “sling stones at an hair breadth, and not miss.” (spiritually speaking, of course)! (Judges 20:16).

.

Yes, the verses of the Bible are those stones.

And we all need to be willing to deny ourselves every earthly pleasure, if it means spending more time in God’s Word.

And for Heaven’s sake! Let’s stop eating all that ABC gum, and all that ABC food, and start eating God’ Word instead!

.

Yes, it takes a lot of chewing. But it will be well worth the effort!

THE END

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN

.

A STAR & SCEPTER ARISES IN THE NIGHT SKY

.

“Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.” Psalms 45:6

.

Now, this 3rd brightest star in the night heavens, Arcturus, seems to very nicely fulfill the prophecy, “there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel” Numbers 24:17.

But where would the scepter be in this prophecy?

After all, it speaks not only of a star rising, but also of a scepter.

.

NOT THE NORTHERN NOR THE SOUTHERN CROSS

.

This is not the Northern Cross, nor is it the Southern Cross.

**This cross is made of stars from both the Serpens Constellation and the Ophiuchus Constellation.**

Here is a star-chart from Wikipedia, in which the editor of this site has sketched in this Cross/Scepter Constellation.

**The stars in this star-chart are accurately placed, and this Cross/Scepter Constellation stands out in brilliance, among the other stars in the night sky.**

The Light of the World!

‘I am the light of the world:

.

he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness,

.

but shall have the light of life.”

.

.

.

.

The world appreciates the Sun, with all its benefits.

Its beauty.

Its<img decoding="async" class="wp-image-39619 alignright" src="https://theheavensdeclare.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Sunlight-on-King-Street-wikipedia-share-alike-license-stefan-powell-300x300.jpg" alt="http://www.flickr.com/people/10031363@N00" width="76" height="210" /> 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.”

Its warmth.
