Daily Devotional, Year 4: ????

.

Noble Bereans,

.

Part 63:

“Ellen White & Harold Camping on Coming Out of Babylon”

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

.

“And after these things I saw

another angel come down from heaven,

having great power;

and the earth was lightened with his glory.

And he cried mightily with a strong voice,

saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen

And I heard another voice from heaven,

saying, Come out of her, My people,

that ye be not partakers of her sins,

and that ye receive not of her plagues”

Revelation 18:1, 2, 4

.

So, in this little series, the subject of those noble Bereans has been introduced. And today, it is still worthy of a little more exploration into another area of concern.

.

Let’s review the key Bible passage… “And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming there, went into the synagogue of the Jews. 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

.

.

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, the Bereans were ready to receive new teachings, which no doubt, conflicted with the supposed, “orthodox” teachings of that day.

.

Thus there was an open-mindedness which permeated their hearts, and a willingness to search the Scriptures daily, in hopes that these seemingly new teachings were indeed true!

CAMPING AND WHITE BOTH IN AGREEMENT

.

Well, it’s too bad that Harold Camping didn’t understand Ellen White’s ministry.

.

Yes, Harold Camping thought Mrs. White to be a false prophet.

.

But had he explored her ministry more closely, he would have discovered that she taught many similar truths which he also taught!

.

THREE ANGEL’S MESSAGES

.

Though Ellen White’s and Harold Camping’s ministries both seemed out of time, especially Ellen White’s, given far back in the 1800’s, it is nonetheless true that their messages were compatible with each other, and with this current 3rd Angel’s message, revealed in the Sun, Moon, and stars. (See Luke 21:25 for “Sun, Moon, and stars” reference)

.

In other words, even though their messages were valid for their respective times, they are likewise even more relevant and even more valid for these closing hours of history when the churches are rapidly becoming fully apostate, and the unbelieving world is sinking in total depravity!

.

VERY DECEPTIVE COUNTERFEIT

.

Oh yes, there seems to be an excitement in many churches, and yet it is an excitement not borne of the Holy Spirit, but rather of a counterfeit origin, even as it is written…”For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.” Mark 13:22

.

Yes, the Bible forewarned of a last-day counterfeit Holy Spirit movement, working within the fallen churches!

.

.

“For such are false apostles…And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness…”

2nd Corinthians 11:13-15

.

Again, it is written of the False Prophet Beast…“Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,” 2nd Thessalonians 2:9

.

Satan must raise up a counterfeit holy spirit within the apostate churches, so as to cover up the church-wide apostasy as best as he can. And actually, his counterfeits will “deceive, if possible, even the elect!” Mark 13:22

.

And so, these are very clever and deceptive counterfeits!

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

.

Camping & White Both in Agreement

.

**But both Harold Camping, and even Ellen White, back in her day saw that apostasy, and trumpeted the call, that “Babylon is fallen is fallen”…**

.

And even though Ellen White’s 70-year ministry presented all three angel’s messages to a certain degree, Harold Camping’s 50-year ministry further amplified those three messages.

.

And, of course, these messages are even further amplified by the 3rd Angel’s message, revealed in the Sun, Moon, and stars! (See Luke 21:25 for “Sun, Moon, and stars” reference)

.

THREE ANGEL’S MESSAGES FOR THIS VERY HOUR

.

But make no mistake, the Three Angel’s Messages, though first presented in former decades, yet are primarily for these present closing hours, as we now enter into the last portion of the Great Tribulation, which will be followed by the Second Coming of Christ “on the Last Day!”

(See John 6:39, 40, 44, 54, for “on the Last Day!” reference)

.

In other words, the message of the 3rd Angel will be heard with “a loud voice”, and will be the final plea and call to repentance to the human race. (See Revelation 14:9 for “loud voice” reference)

.

“With the pure Thou (God) wilt shew Thyself pure; and with the froward (wicked) Thou wilt shew thyself froward (unsavory)”

Psalm 18:26

.

This above verse reveals that while those who are pure in heart will see God in His purity, yet the wicked will only see God as unsavory.

.

**Well, even though there seems to be some contradictions between those three messages, they all finally agree, howbeit, giving “two different sides of the same coin”, as the old saying goes!**

.

For one thing, just like the Bible has seeming contradictions, so do these three messages. One reason for this is to fulfill 2nd Thessalonians…“And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie” 2nd Thessalonians 2:11

.

As this above verse reveals, God purposely allows the spirit within each person to see God as that spirit dictates: either a good and pure God, or an evil and unsavory God.

.

“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword”

.

Yes, the Word of God is like a powerful two-edged sword, just as it is written, “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged 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

.

The Word of God cuts both ways, like a two-edged sword: cutting to save, or cutting to destroy!

.

But those who are the Elect of God will receive and take heed to these three messages and are counseled to make decided preparations to come out of the apostate church-world…Babylon, “the City of Confusion!” Isaiah 24:10

.

PROOF POSITIVE OF CAMPING’S AND WHITE’S MINISTRY

.

But the very Good News is, that this agreement between Camping’s ministry and White’s ministry puts a great big giant exclamation mark on the validity of both these two ministries!

.

Yes, they both are indeed a dramatic fulfillment of the prophecy found in Revelation 14 concerning the messages of the three angels!

.

TODAY’S PRAYER…

“Dear Lord, Help me to be an open-minded seeker of truth, even if it means giving up a very highly regarded Church opinion! Let me be willing to investigate any seemingly new teaching if it appears to have some biblical validity…

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN

Info & pics of constellations on this site from Wikipedia & International Astronomical Union (click here)

.

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.

What really gives validity to this idea, is that God created the Universe in such a way, that if one looks at the major constellations, then this Revelation 12 scenario can be seen. So please read on. And if you really want to see this heavenly battle, you just might. It will take some real effort on your part. But through prayer, faith, and study of the site, God may just graciously open your eyes to see this amazing story written on the heavenly scroll above. But don’t wait! This heavenly scroll will soon be rolled up, just as it is written… “And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together;” Revelation 6:14

WINTER CONSTELLATIONS-SEEN IN FALL: This sketch to the right is how this constellation group appears in the eastern sky in fall. This is the four primary constellations of the Winter Constellations. They can be seen in this position, in the late fall above the eastern horizon. The Woman of Revelation 12 is commonly called Ursa Major or The Big Dipper and appears in the north. Orion the Soldier is the at the bottom is to the south of the Woman. The The Dragon of Revelation Constellation’s mouth isThe Hyades Cluster, and the tip of his tail is Pleiades, and his Wave of Water is primarily the Auriga constellation. The Glorious Horse Constellation head is of Perseus Constellation and his rear end is Cassiopeia Constellation.

“But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation,

spoken of by Daniel the prophet,

standing where it ought not,

(let him that readeth understand,)

then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:”

Mark 13:14

.

The crude expression…“Time to get out of Dodge!”, was coined back in the 1970’s from a television show based on that infamous town, Dodge City, in which Old West gunfighters were made legends by storywriters.

.

.

TIME TO GET OUT OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH!

Well, this concept of getting out of Dodge is nothing new!

.

Even back in the days of Lot, Abraham’s nephew, God warned him to “get out of Dodge!”

.

But of course, back in those days, “Dodge” was actually called “Sodom and Gomorrah”.

.

.

“FLEE TO THE MOUNTAINS”

Mark 13:14 & Luke 21:21

.

Yes, the day finally came in which things had devolved into such sad and horrible decadence, that God’s wrath was finally ready to be poured upon the four cities of Sodom!

.

And God was warning His people to “look not behind thee…escape to the mountain…lest thou be consumed!” Genesis 19:17

.

.

THE SAD FORMER “REFORMATION NATIONS”

Sadly, we have reached that fateful day in which the destruction of Sodom will be repeated!

.

And the very nations which once enthusiastically embraced the Christian Reformation, have all but turned away from the Gospel of Christ and are now receiving their just recompense from God Almighty!

.

It’s such a sad ending for these once-great nations! It makes us want to cry!

.

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

.

SODOM RISING ONCE AGAIN!

Destruction and spiritual bankruptcy have replaced the love of Christ in those once-faithful nations!

.

Secularism and dead religions have been allowed to move in and take control of those spiritually dead nations!

.

The great multitudes are now in spiritual darkness!

.

And Sodom and Gomorrah are once again rising up all around God’s perplexed people!

.

.

SCHOOLS OF SODOM!

.

And the once-trusted institutions, such as school systems and libraries, are now teaching children such things as atheism, evolution, Socialist Marxism, and now even beginning to aggressively push Sodomy and even neo-racism!

.

Yes, there is a movement afoot to endorse and even encourage your children to embrace sodomy in its various forms. And just as the men of Sodom tried to force themselves on Lot’s heaven-sent guests, society is now beginning to press this heinous and unhappy lifestyle upon your children!

.

And if God destroyed that city because men attempted to force themselves upon grown beings, then how much more upon a society that is forcing its perversions upon relatively innocent little children?

.

.

“He cast upon them the fierceness of His anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.”

Psalm 78:49

But God is purposely allowing this to go forth!

.

A myriad of unseen “evil angels” are now marshaling all the governments, learning institutions, and corporations in a concerted effort to force the public to bow down to these devilish, antichrist ideologies! (“He cast upon them the fierceness of His anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.” Psalm 78:49)

.

And it is God’s purpose to give His people a loud wake-up call to get their children out of this horrible situation before they become brainwashed into these evil ideologies!

.

**In other words, “It’s time to get out of Dodge”, as the saying goes!**

.

.

HIGH-PRICED CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS

.

And the sad fact is, that almost all Christian children attend public schooling!

.

It would have been really nice if the churches had started a volunteer program in which parents could have taken turns operating a very low-cost schooling.

.

But instead, churches hired professionals to run their schools, instead of using church facilities, often in expensive buildings with high upkeep, which resulted in costly monthly tuition, which few could afford, especially families with several school-age children!

.

.

RACISM NOW BEING TAUGHT AND ENCOURAGED

Tragically, Satan, in his role as The False Prophet, has been permitted to speak, “as a dragon”. (Revelation 13:11).

.

And so, this unseen spirit of antichrist works through the various media Goliaths to force the world to bow down to his unchristlike qualities.

.

And he even is speaking as a dragon in today’s schools, not only pushing various antichrist ideologies, such as atheistic socialism, etc….

.

But not content with these ideologies, Satan has begun to rewrite history to make it seem that the USA was founded on racism. And school children are now being taught that skin color determines that they are inferior in one way or another.

.

Such a great lie is not only teaching dishonesty but will undoubtedly create hatred and distrust in the hearts of schoolchildren against their own fellow classmates!

.

THE HIGHEST CALLING!

.

But there is no higher calling than for parents to bring up their children “in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.” Ephesians 6:4

.

And if there is any way possible, caring parents should attempt to home-school their children even if it means giving up any and every luxury!

.

Some Christian parents are forming home-schooling groups. And an increasing number of on-line home-school programs are now being offered.

.

And at the very least, even to just sit down daily with the children after they return from public schooling, encouraging them, by example, to learn to love reading!

.

Nevertheless, to get them as far away as possible from public school is by far, the best option!

.

This intimate daily reading circle would probably produce incredible results! (of course, the best Book is the Bible!)

GOOD NEWS…where sin abounded, grace did much more abound!”

Proverbs 25:25 & Romans 5:20

The Good News is that our heavenly Father is willing to help His people to make this end-time exodus, as He calls us out of spiritual Babylon…“And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, My people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” Revelation 18:4

.

May the Lord give you great grace and prayerful wisdom in these troublous times ahead!

.

.

“JUDGE NOT, THAT YE BE NOT JUDGED!”

Matthew 7:1

.

Now, just a word of caution. These truths from Heaven are given “for me and me alone!” We are not to look at others with a judgmental eye.

.

And anyway, we just don’t know how God is working in the hearts and lives of people, nor do we know the true motives of others!

.

So, we simply look into the mirror and realize that “Christ Jesus came into this world to save sinners. of whom I AM CHIEF!” 1st Timothy 1:15

.

Yes, my own heart is filled with enough evil to keep me busy for a lifetime, trying to purify it from my own innate wickedness!

***FLEEING WOMAN* *OF REVELATION 12…***

“And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.” Revelation 12:14, 15. So this Revelation 12 Woman Constellation gives a heavenly portrait of a woman fleeing from the Dragon, who is spewing water in her pathway.

The sketch to the right is “Valley of Decision” Constellation, the Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation, and the Dragon Constellation. This is a concept sketch. These three constellations are not in this position in the night sky. So please don’t try to find them together like this. All of the other sketches have the constellation in the correct position, unless otherwise noted. For locations of each of these Constellations, please go to the article for that particular constellation.

Daily Devotional, Year 1 – January 3rd (How Do I See These Signs Of Heaven? Part 7: “A DISCLAIMER ABOUT THE HUMAN EDITOR OF THIS SITE”)

By admin On September 19th, 2023

.

Daily Devotional, Year 1 – January 3rd

.

(How Do I See These Signs Of Heaven?

.

Part 7:

“A DISCLAIMER ABOUT THE HUMAN EDITOR OF THIS SITE”)

To read Part 1, go here…JULY 31 (How Do I See These Signs of Heaven?)

.

Anticipating the future backlash against this website and the editor thereof, the following info must be shared.

.

Although the editor may be the human editor to write down these things, yet make no mistake! This site and the articles herein are not the inspiration of the editor.

.

Oh yes, these things were laid down by the editor, using much of the editor’s own words. And yet, the inspiration for these articles, and the information regarding these signs in the sun, moon, and stars have been inspired, hopefully 100% by Heaven! (And hopefully and prayerfully, Satan has been prevented from slipping any of his own lies into any of these articles.)

ABOVE PICTURE: Prayer – Wherefore He is able to save to the uttermost…” Hebrews 7:25

.

“But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world …”

1st Corinthians 1:27

.

Now, as far as these teachings and admonitions, let it be made very clear, that the editor is struggling against sin every bit as much as are the readers!

.

In other words, even though the editor has written down these truths, they have been given and presented, hopefully by Heaven alone! And though the editor strives to live by these truths, the editor has not as yet fully attained to all these proclaimed standards.

.

As a matter of fact, the editor is daily convicted in heart at the very high bar which has been set by this website, and struggles daily to overcome in all these areas of Christlike conduct!

.

He too, learns much and grows in grace and knowledge as he reads these articles!

.

ABOVE PICTURE: Prayer – Wherefore He is able to save to the uttermost…” Hebrews 7:25

.

“These (Bereans) were more noble…in that they received the Word with all readiness of mind, and searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so”

.

And so, in conclusion, the editor warns each and every reader to do as those “Noble Bereans”, in which they “received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so”. Acts 17:11

.

In other words, while this website fully believes the information herein is biblical, it makes no guarantees, and leaves the responsibility with the readers to study, study, pray, and study some more to verify the things written herein!

.

And should the Lord bless the reader by revealing these signs written in the sun, moon, and stars, then the reader will know for a certainty that these starry messengers are sent from God.

A HEAVENLY HOBBY

“Lift up your eyes on high, and behold Who hath created these things; that brings out their host by number: He calls them all by names by the greatness of His might, for that He is strong in power; not one faileth.” Isaiah 40:26

vermont night stargazing panorama – 2009 – wikipedia – share-alike lic.

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

.

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

.

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

.

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

.

.

“AND WHEN YE SEE THESE THINGS…

LOOK UP, LIFT UP YOUR HEAD”

.

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

.

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

.

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

.

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

.

.

“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;” Luke 21:25

.

FIRST FIND ORION & 7 STARS

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

.

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

.

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

.

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

.

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

.

.

ANOTHER HEAVENLY HOBBY: PRAYER-WALKS

.

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

.

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

.

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

.

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

.

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

.

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

.

.

THRICE-DAILY PRAYERS

.

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

.

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

.

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

.

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

Isa 59:14 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
Isa 59:15 Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.

Taking Back This Nation For God!

Part 23:

“Is America Really Becoming a ‘Banana Republic’?”

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

.

“Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer,

and He that formed thee from the womb,

I am the LORD that maketh all things;

that stretcheth forth the heavens alone;

that spreadeth abroad the earth by Myself;

That frustrateth the tokens of the liars,

and maketh diviners mad;

that turneth wise men backward,

and maketh their knowledge foolish…”

Isaiah 44:24. 25

.

A NEW NATION WAS FORMED

.

Those who, long ago, sailed to this fledging nation, exhausted from the centuries of religious/civil tyranny in Europe, began what they thought was to be a Christian nation!

.

Yes, America was the beginning of a great experiment in freedom of political/religious speech, as well as liberty of conscience!

.

“And he (Antichrist) shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High”

Daniel 7:25

.

And God mercifully gave this nation an incredible constitution: a wonderful gift given by the Almighty, because of cruel tyranny He allowed by the harsh hand of Satan, throughout the various European nations during the centuries of The Dark Ages.

.

Yes, throughout the Dark Ages of Europe, Satan, using the evil, apostate church of that day, wore out the saints through various forms of persecution, against them and against the Bible they loved!

.

**And the forefathers of this new nation eventually named it, “The United States of America”.**

.

.

Yes, God in His mercy, gave this nation His manifold blessings, knowing how His people suffered so greatly through the centuries of the Dark Ages of Europe! And He allowed the United States to grow and thrive.

.

But as America prospered, the Church began to also enjoy the carnal riches and pleasures of the world. Thus, the Church quickly became sleepy-eyed and lukewarm, fulfilling the words of Jesus…“Rev 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
Rev 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of My mouth.
Rev 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:”

.

But the U.S.A. was allowed to continue, gradually devolving from its original greatness.

.

And as a result, over the past decades, the secular leaders of this nation, without any connection to Heaven lost whatever wisdom that God mercifully shed on this once great nation!

.

And now, judgment was finally and fully falling on the world’s last great hope for true liberty.

.

And those secular and atheist leaders made increasingly bad decisions for this declining nation. In the various government bodies, God’s judgment was now falling. And as of late, it seems apparent that God’s blessings have been removed from this decadent, cornucopian super-society, while a few other nations seem to be getting more and more powerful!

.

But behind the scenes, in the dark shadows of the spiritual realm, Satan had now been permitted to carry out his evil plans. This world’s last great experiment in freedom was ripe for destruction. And even though, the foolish decisions of our leaders seem to lack all rhyme and reason, Satan, “the god of this world” is orchestrating all those bad decisions in such a way that will bring a snare upon the entire world, as he helps usher in the long afore-promised war in the place which is called “Armageddon”.

.

While the media goliaths were busily deceiving the populace into a false sense of security, the sin-sick nation was receiving her just recompense for her past sins.

.

Meanwhile, the apostate churches of the last days, the previous “protestant churches”, were now teaching false doctrines, and bringing in world-loving elements into the church. Yes, the Church was now fast asleep and allowed Satan to steal a march upon them, bringing in false brethren into the churches, greatly compromising the churches and the truth.

.

And while we were all sleeping, Satan was busily setting in place every last detail of his plans to persecute God’s people. But when all was ready, Satan no longer worked in the shadows. No, rather, he began to work boldly through secularists, engaging in seeming madness and overt wickedness, which, of course, gave a rude awakening to God’s sleeping saints! Now, Satan’s antichrist forces began doing unthinkable things, such as perverting and even mutilating young children! The church could not believe such atrocities could ever be committed by society. But Satan’s world-system was now so powerful, there was seemingly little that the Church could do against the abject insanity now occurring in so many corners of the world!

.

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY”

Proverbs 25:25

.

But even though the world was seemingly going mad, and sinking into the bottomless pit of sin, God was allowing all these things for the purpose of purifying His saints, and helping them to place all their hope and trust in Him, instead of trusting in Man, and in the institutions of men. And now, realizing that there was nothing left in the world for them to lean upon, God’s abounding grace caused His remnant people to fully trust in the exceeding great and precious promises of His Word. Thus, the saints of God began to shine in such a way that the secularists and apostate churches could not ignore! The promises of God’s Word now became like stepping stones of safety in an upward highway of holiness out of the craziness and abject evil which burned like a fiery furnace all around the world! Now, the church became like highly polished gem-stones, purified as precious gold and silver, and shining even as the Sun! And thus, God’s purpose of the Great Tribulation was fulfilled, and Christ was ready to return for His true Church, and God would bring them to be with Him, in Heaven.

.

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.

.

ATHEISM AND THE NUMBER “6”

And so, without going into a lengthy discussion, let’s just say that of all the 7 heads of Antichrist, the head which most closely aligns with atheism would logically be the 6th head. And why the 6th head? The Book of Revelation, Chapter 13 warns that the Antichrist Beast has a number of 666. And it describes this number as being the “number of a man”. The number “6” in Scripture has to do with “Man”. It is a number which reminds of the 6th Day of Creation; the day that Man was created. Man was created on the 6th day. And so, Mankind is very much connected with the number “6”

.

And since atheism is the religion which holds Mankind as the supreme ruler of Earth, then the number “6”, being the number of Man, seems to correspond to the 6th head of Antichrist, very well.

.

Now these ideas may not be “written in stone”, as the saying goes. And nothing hinges upon, nor falls apart, with or without these theories. But sufficed to say, there is strong evidence that these concepts have biblical support.

.

And so, this 6th star in the Revelation 12 Dragon’s wave of water, would correspond to the 6th head of the Antichrist Beast. And as already said, “waves” in Scripture, represent the many false ideologies which Satan has flooded the world with, throughout time. So that is why this Signs Of Heaven website believes that atheism was the 6th head of Antichrist.

.

But if the reader wishes to explore these things in more depth, please go to “Floodwaters of Satan-Introduction”.

what are all the desires of the flesh and mind? sports, hobbies, careers, etc…

By admin On September 15th, 2023

In this faithless, unbelieving world, the spiritual realm seldom gets any credit nor any blame for much of anything. Except for insurance companies, not many others attribute things to “an act of God”. And certainly even much fewer attribute anything to “an act of Satan and his angels”.

.

Yes, the Devil has pretty much reduced himself to a cartoonish, red-suited, pitchfork wielding dude with horns, a tail, and a villainish mustache!

.

And yet, the Bible describes Satan vastly different…Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou (Lucifer) sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty…every precious stone was thy covering…the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created…Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee…Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: (Ezekiel 28:12-20, highly condensed for brevity)

.

As this above passage alludes, Lucifer, now given the office and title of “Satan”, and “The Devil”, this mighty angel was given many qualities and powers beyond what we know!

.

Eph 2:2 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:
Eph 2:3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

.

In this above passage, it exposes that Satan, being the Prince of the Power of the Air”, has the ability to communicate his powers and abilities to this fallen world of antichrist rebels!

.

And though the human race would like to take credit for our supposed talents and accomplishments, the true credit should actually go to these unseen agents of evil, working in and through us to do their evil designs! But hey, Satan is more than happy to let human take the credit! After all, such a mistaken notion only bolsters the ego of many, and causes jealosy in others. And by seemingly erasing himself out of existence, gives him much more power, and also bolsters the faithlessness of atheists.

.

But if God was to ever nullify Satan’s powers, humanity would be helpless in many areas of their personal and collective endeavors.

.

Societies would quickly deteriorate and crumble. Sports and hobbies would lose their appeal. athletes would lose their agility. Composers and artists and literary “geniuses” would suddenly lose their inspiration! Politicians and government officials would begin making poor decisions (which already they are increasingly doing). Many romances would fail exceedingly (See, for example, 2Sa_13:15 Then Amnon hated her [the young woman he thought he was madly in love with] ; so that the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love wherewith he had loved her. And Amnon said unto her, Arise, be gone!) Yes, even many romances are merely borne of nothing more than pure satanic lust!

.

Yes, there are two power-sources in the world: the powers of Heaven and the powers of Hell (Hell, in this case, is referring to this hellish, antichrist world!)

.

And so, this is merely a condensed, abbreviated expose of how dependent this world actually is upon the powers of darkness (For we wrestle no against principalities, etc…)

2Co_2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

Today’s Devotional – October 5 (The Dawning of the Age of Aquarius? Or Rather, The Dawning of the Day of Judgment?)

By admin On September 13th, 2023

Today’s Devotional, Year 4 – October 5

.

The Dawning of the Age of Aquarius?

.

Or Rather,

The Dawning of the Day of Judgment?

.

“Think not that I am come to send peace on earth:

I came not to send peace, but a sword.”

Matthew 10:34

.

Well, for those who remember that “lovely” song, The Age of Aquarius, the general consensus is, “It must’ve gotten off on the wrong foot! You know! The Age of Aquarius must have gotten off on the wrong foot!”

.

Well, just listen to a few lines…

.

“When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars,
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars”

.

“This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius,
The Age of Aquarius“

.

“Harmony and understanding,
Sympathy and trust abounding…”

.

After this, the song begins to get somewhat obscene! And well, that obscene part of the song has probably been the only prediction that this song has made which has actually become fulfilled!

.

.

PEACE AND LOVE ABOUNDING?

.

But as we look at the world today, it would have to be said that “peace and love” may well be guiding the planets, but they don’t seem to be guiding us down here on this planet!

.

Oh yes, our troubles may indeed settle down for a time, in the coming months.

.

But hatred, strife, and division will return! They always do!

.

Algeria slashes food prices amid riots wikimedia share-alike license

.

CRUMBLING PILLARS!

.

But at the moment, hatred, gender-insanity, racism, and bigotry seem to be the current norm! This society appears to be completely falling apart!

.

Desperately unhappy young people vainly imagining that mutilation of their God-given gender can somehow make them happy.

.

Various hate groups thrive under the banner of “diversity”! All skin-color groups are now experiencing racism!

.

The rule of law has been replaced by mob rule! Courts are rapidly losing their ability to render just verdicts!

.

Schools are beginning to teach evil ideologies to students (in addition to decades of atheist/Marxist indoctrination)!

.

Businesses and financial institutions are being strong-armed to abide by the economic and immoral wishes of those who are attempting to control humanity through social engineering!

.

.

BIBLE FOREWARNED US

.

Yes, once great institutions are now crumbling before our very eyes! It almost reminds one of the verse from from Revelation… “and the cities of the nations fell:” Revelation 16:19. Yes, it seems that the great cities of the world are now rapidly crumbling. And those supposed pillars of society, such as banks, and learning institutes, and governments are growing weak and corrupt!

.

But the truth is, we Christians have been long ago forewarned about all this!

.

Listen to this bleak prophecy concerning our day… “And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” Matthew 24:12, 13

HIGH-TECH DEADENED CONSCIENCES

.

And isn’t it true that television, music, and Internet are filling our youth with hate and violence and sexual perversions and greed and narcissism beyond our most horrifying imaginations?

.

Yes, many young people in our cities are almost completely losing their moral compass, and have little remorse at the sight of pornographic images, premarital sin, drugs, violence, and even murder!

.

Yes, this satanic “grooming” of our young people is so great that parents would be utterly shocked if they really understood what their children are feeding their minds with, on a daily basis!

.

And so, amidst all this doom and gloom, where is something the Christian can hold on to? Where’s the hope? Is there any Good News out there?

.

.

HOPE’S DOOR STILL AJAR!

.

Yes, there is still some Good News! God in His great mercy, has left open the doors of Salvation!

.

And each one of us must “Make your calling and election sure…” 2nd Peter 1:10.

.

**We must never again listen to those lukewarm voices, crying out… “peace and safety”!**

.

There is an alarm of war which is now crying!

.

The clarion trumpet is just now sounding through the countryside, to “armor up, soldiers of the Cross! The Day is now at hand!

.

No friends, this is not the Dawning of the Age of Aquarius! No! This is the dawning of the Day of the Lord!

.

TODAY’S PRAYER…

“Dear Lord, Help me to have no more love and trust in this dark and hopeless planet! But lead me away from the mind-control which Satan is not exerting over the inhabitants of this world! Help me to get on-board the Ark of Thy Salvation before the doors of mercy are forever closed…

THE FIVE FOOLISH VIRGINS STARS

.

A new constellation has been revealed, as of about May 29th, 2014. This constellation appears as a snake. Its body is comprised of stars from the Bootes Constellation, and its jaws are made of the four stars which Babylonians saw as the head of Draco, the Dragon. It also has a small single star for an eye.

.

Now in this constellation is a group of five stars, which will be called “The Five Foolish Virgins Stars”. These are located on the opposite side of the Glorious Crown of 12 Stars, from the Five Wise Virgins Stars. But one big difference between the two is, that The Five Wise are curved around the Glorious Crown, while the Five Foolish are curved away from it!

.

ABOVE STAR-CHART (with constellation drawn in by this website)- Serpent with Wise Virgins not Attached – seen late summer into fall only – Serpent Constellation – comprised of the head of Draco, plus stars from the Bootes Constellation – www.signsofheaven.org – not for profit use

.

Now another incredible aspect to all this is that this snake/serpent is winding its way around the backside of this Crown. And it is traveling in a direction away from the Crown! And one really phenomenal aspect to this, is that each jaw (composed of two stars each) is pointing in two directions. In other words, if you drew a line parallel with these two sets of stars (the head of Draco), they each go in two directions: one leading to the Valley of Decision Constellation, and the other going straight to the Broad Way to Hell Constellation (AKA Pisces).

.

Now if one studies the Valley of Decision Constellation, it is soon discovered that the same concept, of the Wise and Foolish Virgins, is also depicted in this constellation group. The Five Wise Virgins being depicted by the Andromeda Galaxy, and the Five Foolish Virgins, looking like a wheel, rolling its way down into the Dragon Constellation!

.

Now, before this gets too confusing, perhaps we should dissect each aspect individually, to get a basic understanding of just what all this means.

Daily Devotional, Year 4, October 3: (The Armor of God, Part 6: “Satan: King of Cringe!”)

By admin On September 11th, 2023

.

Daily Devotional, Year 4, October 3

.

The Armor of God,

Part 6:

“Satan: King of Cringe!”

to read part 1, click here…NOVEMBER 27th, Year 1 (“PUT ON THE ARMOR OF GOD” Part 1)

.

“Put on the whole armour of God,

that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

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…

Above all, taking the shield of faith,

wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked”

Ephesians 6:11, 12, 16

.

Have you ever had a “cringe moment”?

.

**Perhaps, most of us can wholeheartedly answer, ‘Oh yeah!’ to that question!**

.

SOME CRINGE MOMENTS

.

For example, have you ever thought back on some stupid thing you said?

.

Or maybe in the heat of anger, you told somebody off?

.

Or perhaps you did something really embarrassing?

.

Or some faithless thing?

.

Or foolish?

.

Or thoughtless?

.

Well, haven’t we all had cringe moments when we were reminded of some past incident which we now regret?

Human worry & stress & depression – by Becky Wetherington for Wikimedia – Share-alike License

Embarrass – The Noun Project – Wikimedia – Universal Public Domain

.

“For we wrestle…against…spiritual wickedness in high places”

Ephesians 6:12

.

The Bible reveals the true source of our troubles in this world…“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” Ephesians 6:12

.

**Yes, our struggles are not with “flesh and blood”, but with the unseen forces of the spirit-realm.**

.

Eph 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

So, just why does God allow Satan to attack us in this way? Just why is he allowed to strike us with such fiery darts?

For two reasons:

1: God wants us to put our heavenly armor on! And there is nothing like Satan’s fiery attacks to make us realize that we need to be fully armored up!

2: God wants us to be fully inoculated against recommitting those same sins. And allowing Satan to remind us of those past deeds (which he’s very happy and willing to do so) will help us in the future as we become tempted to return to those same old sins!

Psa 51:3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.

Listen to the Psalmist…
Psa 38:5 My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.
Psa 38:6 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.
…
Psa 38:8 I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
…
Psa 38:17 For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.
Psa 38:18 For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.
…
Psa 38:21 Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.
Psa 38:22 Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.

.

So, let’s be wise as serpents but harmless as doves in our knowledge of truth, amidst this world of lies.

.

And as we extinguish the enemy’s fiery darts, with our shield of faith, let’s remember that those cringe moments are allowed by God to inoculate us against repeating our regrettable decisions of the past!

.

forgetting those things which are behind,

.

Php_3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

Psa 73:14 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.

Eze_7:16 But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, every one for his iniquity.

Eze 6:9 And they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives, because I am broken with their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a whoring after their idols: and they shall lothe themselves for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.

.

“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 6:13

.

**This above verse from Ephesians reveals that the reason God’s people are to armor up, is because we are now in “the evil day”.**

.

Whether we like it or not, this present earth is a spiritual warzone! And we have been elected to become soldiers in God’s Army!

Christian and Apollyon – Pilgrim’s Progress – Wikipedia – US Public Domain

.

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood”

.

And from decades of indoctrination into the world’s antichrist philosophies and ideologies, we commonly attribute the problems and difficulties in the world to natural causes!

.

In other words, we greatly ignore such revelations from Scripture as Ephesians 6:12, in which God reveals to 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.”

.

This above verse reveals that humans are not the problem. But rather, the unseen spiritually dark underworld is the cause of mankind’s troubles!

Atheist sign Wisconsin State wikipedia share-alike license (2)

.

But as already quoted, Ephesians 6:12 reveals the true cause…

“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.”

FIRST FIND ORION & 7 STARS

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

.

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

.

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

.

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

.

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

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – October 1 (And He Spake as a Dragon! Part 1: “Internet: The Ultimate Great Tribulation Weapon!”)

By admin On September 10th, 2023

.

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – October 1

.

And He Spake as a Dragon!

.

Part 1 “Internet: The Ultimate Great Tribulation Weapon!”

To read Part 1, 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

.

CUTTLEFISH: THE ULTIMATE IMPOSTORS!

.

One of the most amazing creatures ever created is the Cuttlefish!

.

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!

.

As a matter of fact, whatever the Cuttlefish passes over, it instantly begins to change into a similar color and shape, of that undersea object!

.

.

CUTTLEFISH: SYMBOL OF SATAN

.

Well, God has created this little predator to give us further insight into the inner working of the kingdom of Satan.

(As this little 26 second video below shows, the Cuttlefish has the ability to paralyze his potential victims, by using his hypnotizing strobe-light effect! Amazing!)

.

Certainly Satan and his unseen armies love to make themselves invisible! That way, they can work their misery and woe upon this unsuspecting world, without its inhabitants becoming alarmed causing us to rebel against Satan’s kingdom, as we flee to God!

.

And isn’t true that the pleasures and riches of this world, like the cuttlefish’s strobe-hypnotizer, have a mesmerizing effect upon us, just like this above little video reveals?

.

“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, this world was changed into a seemingly benign and beneficent society to a great degree. Oh yes, there has always been many underlying dangers and evils lurking out there!

.

.

“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

.

This second Beast of Revelation 13 speaks of this current-day phenomenon in which the media goliaths have become totally satanic, foisting the most hideous and evil antichrist ideologies upon the world.

.

From totalitarianism, to antichrist-atheism, to immorality, to murder of the unborn, to persecution/murder of Jews/Christians/moralists (conservatives), to sodomy and child-mutilation, to racial hatred, to bullying in various forms, etc., the media has become the mouthpiece of Satan.

.

Yes, the media has devolved so greatly into a snake-pit of lies, corruption, hypocrisy, cover-ups and the like, to the degree that, for the most part, they seem to have lost the sense of honor, decency, or honesty.

.

“The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted”

Psalm 12:8

.

If you haven’t noticed, there has been a rise of political tyrants in the western nations.

.

Yes, and along those same lines, there has also been a rise in those who desire to use the high-tech to control the thoughts and actions of the general populace.

.

.

“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”

Ephesians 6:12

.

Now, of course, as Bible-believing Christians, we are not ignorant of the fact that the spirit of antichrist is the true source of all this tyrannical uprising, which is systematically eliminating our freedoms, day-by-day.

.

But we must not be deceived into believing that all this moral devolution is merely happenstance. No, the Internet and the devices which employ this new power of the airwaves is to become Satan’s ultimate Judgment Day weaponry, holding the supreme position in Satan’s multi-arsenal against humanity, and ultimately against God’s sheepfold!

.

.

THE HIGH-TECH ‘FURNACE OF AFFLICTION’ AWAITS US!

.

The Bible foretells of the day in which, “no man might buy or sell, saving him which has the mark, or name, or the number of his name…six-hundred-threescore-and-six”

.

And as we all know, present-day high-tech society has the capability of allowing or preventing each individual from buying or selling.

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

.

“no man might buy or sell, saving him which has the mark, or name, or the number of his name…six-hundred-threescore-and-six”

Revelation 13:17, 18

.

And Satan is working around the clock to add even more technology which will give government and business absolute power to control every aspect of life, individually tailored and custom-fit for each and every, man, woman, and child!

.

And while most will be able to move freely about, the few who refuse to become indoctrinated into this antichrist world-system will find themselves incapable of even the smallest conveniences. They will be blacklisted. Cancelled! Cut off! Banished from society! At least, this seems to be the general direction which the world appears to be headed.

.

“And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth (the Golden Image) shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace”

Daniel 3:6

.

So, just what is the solution to all this?

.

Well, just as the three Hebrew boys were cast alive into the King of Babylon’s fiery furnace, so too will God’s faithful ones be cut off and eventually killed for refusing to bow down to the true King of Babylon, Lucifer. (Of course, by bowing down to this antichrist world-system, the world is bowing down to Satan, whether they know it or not!)

.

And those who do bow down to society’s dogma, will become little more than devils-in-human-bodies, as they ruthlessly persecute God’s true sheep! And since society is fast becoming totally computerized, it will be no problem to differentiate “between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not!” Malachi 3:18

.

.

“Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction”

Isaiah 48:10

.

And in conclusion, let it be said that God is allowing all this tribulation to refine His vessels of gold and silver via the fiery trials before us!

LOCATING THIS CONSTELLATION GROUP…

*“Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.” Micah 4:**1, 2*

Valley of Decision + O Destroying Mountain Constellation Group

Look eastward in the early summer through fall. Find the Cassiopeia Constellation. Cassiopeia is the Mount of Blessing. In this sketch, it is the farthest mountain to the left. In the sky, it is the northernmost of these three mountains when facing eastward. It somewhat resembles a pyramid, as do the other two.

.

Then find the second pyramid to its right (south).

.

Then go a little further south to the next third pyramid. The third snow-cap is the Destroying Mountain Constellation.

.

These three pyramids are the snow-capped portion of these three mountains in this sketch. (of course, you won’t see the snow-caps in the sky. They are just an embellishment in this sketch to present a concept-EDITOR).

.

THE VALLEY OF DECISION CONSTELLATION GROUP.

Valley of Decision & O Destroying Mtn. Constellations

.

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) and Pegasus (Mount of Cursing (middle mount) and the “Destroying Mountain” (right)), and Pisces (“The 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.)

Daily Devotional, Year 4, September 30 (Here Comes the Thought Police! Part 3 “Are We Turning into a Police State?”)

By admin On September 10th, 2023

.

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – September 30

.

“Here Comes the Thought Police!”

.

Part 3 “Are We Turning into a Police State?“

To read Part 1, click here…August 11 (“The Thought Police Have Finally Arrived!”)

.

Most everyone remembers when politicians trumpeted the call to “Defund the police! Defund the police!”

.

And so, many cities began a campaign to do just that! “After all”, they said, “people just need a helping hand! And police are so evil!”

Defund the police – the Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic license – cropped image

.

ANARCHY

.

Well, as you probably already know, the results of defunding and defaming the police have brought disastrous results! Those same cities have become increasingly lawless and unresponsive to crime!

.

But the puzzling question many are asking is this: “Why on earth could any half-intelligent person possibly believe that defunding the police could somehow be a good thing?!”

.

.

“…giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;”

1st Timothy 4:1, 2

.

Well, let’s not be simple-minded and naive! The truth is, these same people who called so loudly to defund the police, are actually planning to bring society under total authoritarian control!

.

As a matter of fact, they are working feverishly right now to turn this once-great nation into a giant police-state! And if it weren’t for the push-back from freedom-loving dissidents, we’d already be under totalitarian control!

.

**So, let’s all say, “we won’t get fooled again”, as a songster once sang!**

.

Yes, the sad fact is, that society is now able to control every aspect of our lives! And their abilities are increasing daily!

.

George Orwell’s “1984”

.

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 or so 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 become the centerpiece to stamp out “freedom of speech”: our schools!

.

And perhaps even stranger, it is the very same political party who have long prided themselves as being the arbiters and protectors of that freedom, who are now the very same political party applauding any media outlet or violent mob which squelches the free speech of their political foes!

THE BIBLE FORETOLD OF THIS DAY!

.

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

.

But the Bible foretold that this day would finally arrive…“And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Revelation 13:17

.

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

.

.

“Buy the truth, and sell it not!”

.

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

.

This complementary verse is found in Proverbs 23:23…“Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.”

.

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

.

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

.

THE “GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY”

Proverbs 25:25

.

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

.

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

.

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

THE WOMAN ON THE ALTAR CONSTELLATION

.

“Let my prayer be set forth

.

before Thee as incense;

.

and the lifting up

.

of my hands as the evening sacrifice.”

Psalm 142:2

.

LOCATING THIS 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 (see “Woman of Revelation 12-The Fleeing Woman” article for explanation of casting “Gospel Seed”) now appears like smoke or incense rising from the altar. It is not clear why the altar is sideways in back of the Woman. It would make more sense if it were directly under the Woman. However, the Lord must have some spiritual truth to convey concerning this odd positioning of the Altar. The 7 Stars (Big Dipper) is easy to see with its very bright 7 stars. But the Revelation 12 Woman (Ursa Major) must be seen on a dark starry night, away from city lights.

THE ZODIAC CONSTELLATION NAMES

It is not the purpose of www.theheavensdeclare.net to give any validity to the Zodiac or any pagan deities. But the common names of many constellations (such as Scorpio or Sagittarius, etc.), must be given, solely for the purpose of locating them on star-charts.

Today’s Devotional – September 29 (Eternal Torment? Part 2: “Proper Weights”)

Today’s Devotional – September 29

.

Eternal Torment?

.

Part 2: “Proper Weights”

TO READ PART 1, CLICK HERE…September 8th (Eternal Torment?)

.

Have you ever been on a jury? Well, if you have, then perhaps you have discovered how convincing it is, to hear just one side of the case. In other words, when you only hear one side of the story, it almost seems like an open-and-shut case, doesn’t it?

.

But then comes the hour when the defense begins their presentation! Then comes the moment when there begins to be a balance struck! Yes, just like this photo with Lady Justice holding her scales, representing the weight of evidence from both sides, tipping the scales one way or the other.

.

.

SOME DEEPER TRUTHS NOT SO CLEAR

.

Well, God has written much of the Bible in the very same way! Oh no, the truths concerning the basic plan of Salvation are clear enough, so that none need stumble.

.

But other truths, such as the exact nature of Hell have not been made so clear. And God has purposely done this. Yes, God has given some passages which seem to support this church-doctrine called “Eternal Torment”. And yet many other passages seem to support the doctrine which the Bible often refers to as “sleep”.

.

**And so, in order to properly understand the true nature of Hell, a serious Bible student must examine all the related passages and attempt to be “rightly dividing the Word of Truth”.**

YESTERDAY’S DEVOTIONAL: BORN AGAIN

.

“That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.” John 3:6, 7

.

Now, the very first step in discovering the deeper truths of the Bible is to make sure that one is not still living in the flesh. You see, unless one is truly “Born Again”, he or she cannot know the deeper truths of the Bible.

.

.

“LOVE OF THE TRUTH”

.

And the second step in discovering hidden Bible truth is to have a love for truth, which causes that truth-seeker to desire, above all things, the truth!

.

But love for eternal truth is a gift of God and does not occur naturally.

.

Listen… “And then shall that Wicked be revealed…Even him, whose coming…And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause 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 2:8-12

.

As this above passage reveals, all those who still love this present world, will be deluded when they attempt to understand the Bible!

.

And so, we must accomplish the first step, before we can accomplish this second step! And what is the second step?

.

La Bible, Notre-Dame – cropped – Wikimedia – Share-Alike License

.

SEEMINGLY OPPOSING VERSES

.

The next step is to realize that this question regarding the nature of Hell is complicated, because God has given many seemingly opposing scriptures about the nature of Hell. And it is only when we are willing to let go of our cherished traditional understanding and begin to explore all these different passages in the Bible, that we now begin to see the truth!

.

But of course, when you attend a Bible study on the nature of Hell, you will mostly notice an overwhelming bias in what is being taught. In other words, the teacher is more desirous to convince his pupils of his own church interpretation, than he is with laying out all sides of the issue on the table, thus allowing his students to see all the relevant passages.

.

So, here is the crux of the problem! Do Bible teachers love their cherished church traditions more than they love truth? Well, one thing is for sure: and as already revealed in this devotional, the love of truth is the gift of God.

.

.

KEEP DOCTRINE PURE

.

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure…” Philippians 4:8

.

And so, this second step in discovering the true nature of Hell, can be concisely said to be the gathering of all related Bible passages, and rejecting all non-biblical terminology which gives a false balance to the scales of truth!

.

Listen… “Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.” Deuteronomy 4:2

WOMAN FLEEING TO NARROW GATE

LOCATION

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 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 below left).

.

(For more information on Orion’s sickle, just click here, “Orion The R eaper”.)

Editor’s note: These sketches on this page are merely sketches. The stars are not in their exact place. However, they are close enough to find them in the night sky. But as with most stars, it takes persistence to finally locate them.

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – September 4 (The Heart, Part 5: “The Human Heart: Wonderful? or Woefully Wicked?”)

By admin On September 4th, 2023

.

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – September 4

.

The Heart,

.

Part 5:

“The Human Heart: Wonderful? or Woefully Wicked?”

To read Part 1, click here… April 20th (The Heart: Treasure Chest of the Mind!)

.

“The heart is deceitful above all things,

and desperately wicked:

who can know it?

I the LORD search the heart,

I try the reins,

even to give every man according to his ways,

and according to the fruit of his doings.”

Jeremiah 17:9

.

A few days ago, a certain individual on the Internet, contributed his belief that humans are basically good. And he cited a few examples of mankind’s goodness.

.

Now, before going any further, let’s get rid of this notion that the human heart is the blood pump. Yes, the world has named the human blood pump, “the heart”. And yet, the Bible reveals the heart to be the deep thoughts of the mind: the treasure chest of the mind, with its loves and hates and deepest thoughts and intents.

Actually the Bible explicitly describes the human heart in the following way… “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9

Well, obviously, that man on the Internet has never considered this above verse from Jeremiah (and probably wouldn’t even want to!).

And so, even back in Jeremiah’s day, God was revealing the condition of mankind…”deceitful and desperately wicked”.

And yet, the Bible doesn’t stop with Jeremiah! No, even the beloved Apostle, John, has described this present world as “And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.” 1st John 5:19

And what about the great Apostle Paul’s summation…”Rom 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Rom 3:11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
Rom 3:12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.”

.

Right at this time in history, secularists have been largely in control of western societies. And they have been enacting laws which are causing a whole lot of trouble, especially in the United States.

Their thinking has been that if society just extends some sort of gracious liberty to individuals with bad behavior, that “liberty will cause them to see their erroroneous behavior and correct themselves, falling in line with socially-acceptable standards of conduct.

And such thinking has pretty much devastated a number of large cities, turning them into dystopian hell-scapes

THE SWINE: “LUST OF THE FLESH”

“For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.” 1st John 2:16

This article will introduce this third beast-like face, inscribed in the Moon: a swine. And it will be shown that the three beast-like faces in the Moon, represent the concept taught in the above verse concerning “the lust of the flesh…the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life”.

It has become apparent that the second face in the Moon, besides appearing as a wolf-like beast, also appears as a Swine. Let’s explore this concept, for a moment. First of all, when a person sees the second face up in the sky, it’s arguable whether or not it looks like a swine.

.

But it must be conceded that the photos do indeed make it appear as if this character has a “sawed-off” snout like a swine. And of course, a swine is spoken of quite frequently in Scripture.

The Straw-Man!

.

Part 10:

“Radio’s Straw-Man Warriors”

To read Part 1, go here…March 5th (The Straw-Man, Part 1)

.

“straw man”

[ˈstrô ˌman, ˈsträ ˌman]

NOUN

An intentionally misrepresented proposition that is set up because it is easier to defeat than an opponent’s real argument:

.

There is a certain radio talk show in which the host will create “Straw-Man” propositions in order to prove his own pet church-doctrines.

Here is a short list of various “Straw-Man” scenarios heard on this station:

If you deny the (non-biblical) name, “The Rapture”, then you deny that Jesus’ will return altogether.

“A TABLE IN THE WILDERNESS?”

Psalm 78:19

.

And God has made all necessary provisions for the spiritual needs and heavenly blessings for those who do escape from Babylon, fleeing to the spiritual mountainous strongholds of God…“And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.” Isaiah 30:25.

.

Yes, there are abundant rivers and streams of living waters flowing upon those high mountains and hills! And God’s blessings have finally been taken away from the fallen towers (denominations), and are now transferred to the heavenly places of refuge, where God’s people must flee!

.

Listen…“For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion: in the secret of His tabernacle shall He hide me; He shall set me up upon a Rock.” Psalm 27:5

.

This verse reveals just where we must flee to in this current, ever-increasing time of trouble!

.

And it is here in this our hiding place that we may sing the following, “songs of deliverance”… “And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in His tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.” Psalm 27:6

REVELATION 12 WOMAN CONSTELLATION

WOMAN ROTATES THROUGH THE SEASONS…

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. It is seen 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 who is running (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.

Jas_4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

1Pe_1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

2Pe_1:4 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.

Job_2:9 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.

Isaiah 26:3…“Thou (God) wilt keep him in perfect peace who mind is stayed upon Thee, because he trusts in Thee!”

“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

Rom_8:28 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.

“That the trial of your faith,being much more precious than of gold that perisheth,though it be tried with fire,might be found unto praise and honour and gloryat the appearing of Jesus Christ:”1st Peter 1:7

“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of Him who hath subjected the same in hope,” Romans 8:18-20

“…our light affliction, which is but for a moment, works for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 2nd Corinthians 4:17, 18.

“exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the Power that worketh in us,” Ephesians 3:20

Jos_1:9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

1Pe 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
1Pe 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
1Pe 5:9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

Php 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Php 4:9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

VALLEY OF DECISION CONSTELLATION

.

SO WHERE ARE THE “MULTITUDES”?…

“And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD,” Isaiah 2:2, 3

So where are the multitudes in this constellation? Well if you look at this sketch to the right, carefully, you will see an ENTIRE GALAXY making a slow trek up the steep slope toward the summit of one of the mountains. It is the mountain which is to the north in this sketch. This is the galaxy commonly called Andromeda. It is estimated to have possibly a trillion stars! Is a trillion stars a big enough multitude? Oh yes! Listen to God talking to Abraham…

“And He (God) brought him (Abraham) forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and He said unto him, So shall thy seed be.” Genesis 15:5

But this mountain in which this multitude of stars is climbing represents a very awesome and wonderful Bible concept. This mountain in Scripture is known as Mount Zion. And it is also known as the Mount of Blessing. It represents that spiritual mountain which Believers must climb, in order to reach the City of God.

Listen to Scripture… “But ye are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem…To the…church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven…” Hebrews 12:22, 23.

.

Well it sure seems that this verse is correct when it says the words… “which are written in heaven”! Because this galaxy in this constellation group is a wonderful picture of the Church as it makes it trek to the summit of this starry mountain; a picture of God’s Church…His faithful people…written in the heavens. These are the Signs of Heaven, promised long ago to be revealed before that “great and terrible Day of the Lord”…

“And I will show WONDERS IN THE HEAVENS and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.” Joel
