And The Nations Were Angry!

.

Part 13:

“Satan’s Monster-Making Machinery, CONTINUED!”

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

.

.

.

.

.

.

“And the nations were angry,

and Thy wrath is come,

and the time of the dead,

that they should be judged,

and that Thou shouldest give reward

unto Thy servants the prophets,

and to the saints,

and them that fear thy name,

small and great”

Revelation 11:18

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

“Which things are an allegory”

Galatians 4:24

.

As we look out upon this complex world, we see this dichotomy of good-vs-evil.

.

And even the manmade creations are often applicable to the Gospel truths.

.

For example, the Bible uses boats, the creation of men, to represent the corporate church, or maybe some particular type of people-group.

FRANKENSTEIN MONSTER

.

Even many manmade tales, such as the story, “Frankenstein”, have often been used by society to make some analogy…

.

…maybe like this…“The government’s countless bloated programs have turned into a veritable ‘Frankenstein monster’!”

PART 1: VIOLENT COMPUTER GAMES

.

Now, in this two-part series, “Satan’s Monster-Making Machinery”, Part 1 (click here to read) focused largely on all the computer games…

.

…those games which are most likely indoctrinating young people to become desensitized to violence!

VIOLENCE IN TODAY’S MUSIC

.

Not only computer games, but likewise, even the music industry is now pushing a lot of extremely violent and overtly wicked music…

.

…the evil music that many young people are playing non-stop during their daily lives.

.

And, needless to say, listening non-stop to all such desperately wicked sentiments is inscribing Satan’s evil character deeply upon the tables of their hearts and minds!

THE WORLD! A GARGANTUAN MIND-CONTROL CENTER!

.

But in this Part 2, a much broader focus will be presented.

.

Yes, in this high-tech age, the world is increasingly becoming a giant gargantuan mind-control mechanism for earth’s inhabitants!

.

“And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold”

Matthew 24:12

.

Just look at so much of social media.

.

Billions of people, young and old alike, are developing an angry mob-mentality made possible by the interactive abilities of the world-wide-web!

.

It’s actually scary to view many angry, hateful rants, by vast enraged mobs today on the Internet!

POLITICAL HATE

.

And let’s face it! The current-day high-tech world is ramping up the vitriolic rage against opposing ideologies, primarily, the two major political ideologies! 

.

Satan now appears to be driving humanity to the brink of an all-out ideological bloodbath!

.

Violent rhetoric is now beginning to morph into violent actions.

THE ‘MEDIA MANSONS’

.

And because of all the racial hatred spewed-forth by today’s media, Satan is ratcheting up hatred and distrust between people, based upon skin-color!

.

And if this doesn’t stop, it seems as if we may be headed for some type of violent race war!

.

There’s already many instances of violent hateful racist deeds now being committed (although the media is suppressing much news about this phenomenon)!

SCHOOLS NOW SPEAKING AS A DRAGON

.

For many decades the public schools have been pushing socialism/Darwinism/atheism.

.

But in the last decade, public schools are increasingly becoming the proverbial “dirty old man”, now actively grooming young children into sodomy and promiscuity.

“And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold” 

Matthew 24:12

.

In addition to the Marxism and sexual promiscuity, public-schooling, media, and government are now pushing racism against various color-groups.

.

This is ratcheting up hatred and distrust among students and among followers of social media.

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY”

Proverbs 25:25

.

The very Good News in all this negativity, is that “God is faithful, who will…make a way to escape…” 1st Corinthians 10:13.

.

Yes, nobody must drown is this sea of hate which the world is increasingly becoming!

.

Yes, Christ offers “faith, hope and love” to all who call on His Name…

.

“And it shall come to pass afterward,

that I will pour out My spirit upon all flesh…

And I will shew 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.

And it shall come to pass,

that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD

shall be delivered:”

Joel 2:28, 30-32

THE DRAGON OF REVELATION 12 CONSTELLATION. 

.

The star-charts below (below, right) are from Wikipedia and are combined into one chart to show these three constellations.

.

Hopefully, this will be an assist in locating these constellations in the night-sky.

.

.

.

.

.

LOCATION…

.

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

.

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

.

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

.

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

.

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

.

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

.

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

.

BODY HARD TO SEE

.

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

.

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

.

.

Noble Bereans,

Part 4:

“Re-thinking Harold Camping!” Continued

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

.

.

.

.

.

THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF OCTOBER 19TH ARTICLE…(Noble Bereans, Part 3: Re-thinking Harold Camping)

.

.

.

.

.

A FAILED PREDICTION?

.

A few years ago, a certain radio Bible teacher made the seemingly failed prediction that May 21st, 2011 would be the last day of earth’s existence, because of the long-promised return of Christ in the clouds of glory.

.

And of course, when that day came and went, the world began throwing verbal stones at Harold Camping.

.

.

.

. 

.

.

A RE-EXAMINATION

.

But let’s examine his supposed false prediction, for a moment.

.

Was Camping really incorrect? And was Harold Camping really a false teacher?

.

If we are truly like those noble Bereans, we might wish to take some time out to re-examine this greatly-maligned and much-despised Bible teacher.

.

After all, when the entire world begins to throw rocks at a Bible-believing teacher, then perhaps there is some good thing that might be discovered about that Bible teacher…

“Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you,

and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for My sake.

Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in Heaven:

for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.”

Matthew 5:11, 12

.

This passage from Matthew’s Gospel reveals that those who proclaim the true Gospel will be hated and maligned by the world.

.

And this was indeed the very reception which Camping received from the world, even prior to that supposed failed prediction!

HABAKKUK’S TARRYING TIME

.

And, as far as a delay, well, just 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 

.

So, here we have a prophecy concerning these last days, regarding the time when this vision will speak, causing God’s people to “RUN!”

.

But notice that the Lord tells Habakkuk that the vision will be delayed in some way.

.

And yet, for those who live by faith, and not by the pride of their heart, the vision will come, even though it seems to delay.

.

Yes, “it will surely come, it will not tarry!”

.

.

.

.

.

.

NOT A LITERAL 24-HOUR DAY

.

Through his long ministry, Harold Camping always taught that the Day of the Lord would NOT be a literal 24-hour period.

.

And so, why Camping went against his previous 50 years of teachings regarding this Last Day timing, is somewhat of a mystery.

.

But he did.

.

And yet, so often, the Bible allows a time of disappointment to test God’s people.

.

For instance, when Jesus was buried, the hopes of His otherwise faithful followers were dashed to pieces.

.

But what they did not understand is, there was to be a tarrying time!

.

Yet, in a short time, the Lord rose up from the dead to become the victorious Savior of the world!

.

Their tears turned into laughter and joy…

.

.

.

.

.

.

“BE THOU FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH”

Revelation 2:10

.

And so, God wants His people to remain faithful, even when things don’t seem to go our way!

.

Even when disappointing circumstances bring dark and heavy clouds, obscuring the bright sunshine of His love for a time, we must remain faithful!

.

Make no mistake, O Stranger & Pilgrim of the Cross! The end has come! The Day of the Lord has arrived! The Last Day is here!

.

But there has been a tarrying time, just as surely as there was for those disciples who supposed that Jesus was a failure!

.

.

.

.

.

.

THE DAY of the LORD HAS COME!

.

Yes, dear trembling child of God, the Last Day has indeed come!

.

But it is not going to be a 24-hour event, as Camping erroneously predicted!

.

Oh yes, we’re soon going to wish it was only a 24-hour day! You can be sure of that!

.

But the time before us has been given us, even as a gift from Heaven, to strengthen our faith, even as the faith of Jesus!

.

Listen… “Here is the patience of the saints:

here are they that keep the commandments of God (the Bible),

AND THE FAITH OF JESUS.”

Revelation 14:12

.

This is what the Book of Revelation is all about! Becoming like Jesus!

.

And though the whole world will begin to crumble all around us, we must look up, and lift up our heads, to behold the Savior looking down on us in love!

.

.

.

.

.

AM I ALSO A NOBLE BEREAN?

.

And so, as open-minded Noble Bereans, we really need to re-examine Harold Camping’s supposed failed prediction in the light of Habakkuk’s prophecy, and the tarrying time foretold. 

.

And if there’s any “Noble Berean” out there, he or she is welcome to open-mindedly listen to the teachings of Harold Camping found at the bottom of each day’s devotional.

HOLY-GHOST RIDER CONSTELLATION

.

THIS STAR-CHART: This is a Wikipedia star-chart, in which this site’s editor has sketched in these three constellations (without the Holy-Ghost-Rider Constellation).

.

Notice how the right front hoof is trampling on the tail of the Dragon.

.

Also notice his eye is a star.

.

It’s best seen when in the western half of the sky.

.

It is found in mid-sky traveling from east to west.

.

In January, it is in the west after midnight.

.

As winter progresses, it can be seen earlier and earlier in the evening. a dark sky with good star-visibility is best, but not absolutely necessary to see this constellation.

.

It is found on the opposite side of the Dragon Constellation from Orion.

.

And as already stated, this Goodly Horse Constellation can be seen best in mid-winter when it is in the western side of the sky, and you are looking at it while you are facing west.

.

The nose and head of this horse is partly made from the Perseus Constellation.

.

The tail and rear end is partly of the Cassiopeia Constellation. 

.

The hind-leg is made partly of stars from the Andromeda Constellation.

.

.

.

.
.

THIS HOLY-GHOST-RIDER

.

Now one thing that is noticeable and makes this constellation even more dramatic, is the fact that the Milky Way runs right through it.

.

And the question that must be asked is, “What biblical implications does this constellation/Milky Way connection have?”

.

Well, very simply put, if stars represent Believers, then this rider works in the world through His True-Worshippers, to a great extent.

“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

.

Many years ago, two young boys were walking by some religious schoolground. The first boy said to the other, “Let’s get a drink from this water-fountain.”

.

Out of the clear blue, the other young boy disdainfully retorted, “Naw, that’s ‘Jew-water’!”

.

The first boy didn’t answer back, but looked dumbfounded at such a comment (probably mostly because he was a student at that very same religious school!).

.

But the fact is, the second young boy had absolutely no idea what he was saying!

.

After all, it wasn’t even a Jewish school, but actually was operated by some Christian denomination.

.

Years later, the other boy, now fully grown, thought back and wondered, “Why in the world did I make such an outrageously harsh and stupid denunciation, especially since I had not the slightest clue what a Jew actually was at such a young age?!”

“We are become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.”

Psalm 79:4

.

The Bible reveals that Satan has been attacking Israel and the Jewish people almost since the days of Abraham.

.

Certainly, Abraham’s son, Isaac, had a number of his wells stolen by Philistines and others. (See Genesis 26)

.

The Old Testament is literally saturated with true accounts of Israel’s conflicts with Philistines and others.

.

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against…spiritual wickedness in high places.”

Ephesians 6:11, 12

.

But the Bible reveals that it is not merely mortal people who are the only ones persecuting God’s people.

.

Listen to God’s Word…

…”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.”

Ephesians 6:11, 12

.

Here we see that our true enemy is that invisible spirit of evil, who works through the human race to create/promote/instigate all the sins and troubles which this world is literally dripping with!

.

“Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you”

1st John 3:13

.

It’s truly amazing to see how quickly the hatred for the Jewish people has intensified and spread its tentacles in every direction!

.

But should it really surprise us to see all the hatred which exists today against Jews?

.

Oh yes, such hatred is only to be expected by those who live in today’s “Philistine” (This name is now corrupted to “Palestine”).

.

Nevertheless, it’s still amazing to see the same hatred for Jews by a great multitude from many nations!

.

It is the same hatred which Adolph Hitler and the Nazis had for the Jewish people!

.

.

.

.

.

THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA: “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.“

.

Yes, it’s not difficult to see the Nazi spirit rising up today!

.

And this hatred is largely propagated by today’s media Goliaths, whom the Bible prophesies “and he spake as a dragon”!

.

Just go on the Internet and be horrified at all the vitriolic disdain cast down upon the Jewish race!

.

Or read about the violent attacks on Jews in many western nations!

.

And it is very probable that many hate-filled young adults could not even be able to locate Israel on a map!

.

And yet, they somehow have an innate hatred for Jewish people!

“If the world hate you, ye know that it hated Me (Jesus) before it hated you”

John 15:18 

.

But don’t believe for a minute that such unexplainable pandemic hatred will only exist for Jews!

.

No, but rather, Satan will increasingly turn his guns on the Christian community, as well: on those who are the “called, and chosen, and faithful.” Revelation 17:14

Nazi Stabs Bible – Wikimedia commons – US Public Domain (2)

.

.

.

.

.

“the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:”

.

Those who have no personal issue with Jews show their hatred of Jews is borne by the indwelling of Satan, even as is written…

…”Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world,

according to the prince of the power of the air,

the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:”

Ephesians 2:2

.

In this above verse, it is revealed that Satan, whom the Bible refers to as “the prince of the power of the air”, is the spirit which now works in the unsaved people of the world.

.

Therefore, it is small wonder that Satan’s long-time and ongoing hatred of Jews is also manifest in his followers, i.e., the unbelieving multitudes in the world.

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY!”

Proverbs 25:25

.

The Good News is, that God is now calling all people to return to Him, crying out for a new heart…

.

…a new heart which will put a fervent brotherly love and compassion, not only for the Jewish people, but for each and every lost soul!

.

And, for those who are suffering persecution from the loyal citizenry of this antichrist world-system, God is allowing these troubles in the hope that we might cry out to our Savior, “that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men…” 2nd Thessalonians 3:2

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

.

.

“What is Truth?“

John 18:38

.

.

.

Pilate said to Jesus, “What is truth?”

.

The fact is, Pilate was looking truth in the eyes as he asked that very question…”What is Truth?”

.

Jesus tells us, “Joh 14:6  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

.

Yes, Jesus is truth as John 14:6 reveals!

.

Now, this poses a very interesting question! Namely, if Jesus is truth, then “What is truth without Jesus?”

.

Maybe an even more pertinent question to be asked in this age of atheism is this, “If there is no God, then what is true, what is right, and what is wrong?”

.

If one goes onto the Internet, there are many videos which deal with this question. And the bottom line explanation quite often offered  is that without God, there is no right or wrong, or even no truth!

.

In other words, if life in a universe is merely the result of some chaotic explosion, then life itself is without purpose, nor subject to any rules. This would mean that life is merely a free-for-all! Anything goes! Anything you can get away with is just fine! Purpose is simply whatever you want it to be! And if someone else has a different idea, then that’s his or her prerogative! If you want to kill or steal or rape, then that’s your choice!

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN

THE NARROW GATE STARS

.

 

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

.

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

.

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

.

The sketch to left shows, the two doors are each composed of two bright stars. The two bright stars that comprise the Narrow Gate are the two brightest stars of the Orion the Reaper’s sickle. The two stars that comprise the ‘Wide Gate’ Stars are the two brightest stars of the wave of water that comes out of the Dragon Constellation’s mouth (for explanation of “Wave of Water”, just click here). The stars that make up the ‘Narrow Gate’ are about half the width of the Wide Gate (see sketch to right).

.

 

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

.

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

“Satan’s Cheerleading Squad”

“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

.

But aside from its terrible influence, television (and Internet, radio, magazines, etc.) has become a sort of cheerleader of sorts.

.

Don’t we all remember back in school, how a cheerful and energetic group of fresh-faced youngsters danced and jumped and chanted to their respective fans, all with the intent of inspiring their home-team to a hopeful victory?

“And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them”

Revelation 9:6

.

But Satan has his own cheerful and energetic rally-squad!

.

Yes, it’s true! The “god of this world” has begun using high-tech devices to become his own ‘cheerleading squad’, so to speak.

.

After all, this sad and hopeless world is getting increasingly sad and more hopeless and extremely discouraging for many, to say the least!

“That at that time ye were without Christ…having no hope, and without God in the world:”

Ephesians 2:12

.

Like never before, young people (and many oldsters too!) are looking at the world through the lens of social media…

.

…and as a result, are becoming so confused by all the societal madness, perversity, and moral depravity now being broadcast over today’s high-tech, “power of the air(waves)” devices.

(See Ephesians 2:2, 3)

.

And many of these victims of the current-day high-tech obsession are sometimes resorting to suicide to escape this current-day hopeless insanity!

“And that they (the unsaved world) may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will”

2nd Timothy 2:26

.

And so, “the god of this world” realizes that unless he can keep us hopeful in this, his antichrist world-system, he will have a rebellion and mutiny…

.

…as we desperately run to the Lord in hope of escaping from Satan’s kingdom of selfishness, sin, confusion and madness!

.

Therefore, this great deceiver and “father of lies” has brought in his squad of cheerleaders, his chief spokespeople, to give us hope, howbeit a false hope, to keep us captive in his prison-house of sin and selfishness! (2nd Corinthians 4:4 & John 8:44)

.

JUST WHO ARE SATAN’S SPOKESPEOPLE?

.

Now, Hollywood isn’t the only place where Satan’s spokespeople can be seen and heard, cheering on the general public!

.

No, Satan’s cheerleading squad also consists of, for instance, pop-music-idols, sports-stars, politicians, authors, playwrights, atheistic-teachers, world-loving-preachers, and all those who willfully and loudly promote his fallen antichrist-world-system.

.

Listen to Scripture…

…”Love not the world,

neither the things that are in the world.

If any man love the world,

the love of the Father is not in him.”

1st John 2:15

.

Yes, whether by word or by example, all those who willingly lead the populace to further love this present proud, lustful, and self-seeking world are, by participation, an integral part of Satan’s cheerleading squad.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Sadly and tragically, we are now witnessing the fulfillment of the ongoing prophecy of Peter…“But the end of all things is at hand”. 1st Peter 4:7

.

Yes, it truly is the “end of days”! Everywhere we look, we are confounded to witness how fast this world is sinking into wholesale depravity!

.

From the meteor-like rise of crime and vice,

.

To the corrupt, two-tiered justice-system,

.

To the rapidly declining morality,

.

To the irresponsible and suicidal spending by government,

.

To the Sodom-like indoctrination of society and their schoolchildren,

.

To the incredible dishonesty of the mass-media, as they vigorously incite division, distrust, and hatred between the various color-groups and social groups,

.

To the corruption of the decadent political system,

.

To the aimlessly lost and hopelessly confused younger generation, being encouraged to embrace hopeless nihilism,

.

To the self-loathing nihilism of a godless generation, without hope, like a ship lost and tossed about on the stormy sea!

“And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God…and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed”

Acts 16:25, 26

.

Here above is an ‘End of Days’ prophecy all tucked away in the Book of Acts!

.

Yes, Paul and Silas represent God’s own “cheerleading squad”, which cheer for Heaven’s victory over Lucifer’s sorrowful and tragic world!

.

Yes, Paul and Silas represent God’s people, who are bound in fetters in this Prison house of sin, which this world is!

.

And just when the night couldn’t be darker (at midnight), the joy-filled “songs of deliverance” sung by these two saints results in our chains being broken, and the doors of freedom are finally opened! Psalm 32:7

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

“Rejoice in the Lord alway:

and again I say, Rejoice.

Let your moderation be known unto all men. 

The Lord is at hand.

Be careful for nothing;

but in every thing by prayer

and supplication with thanksgiving

let your requests be made known unto God”

Philippians 4:4-6

VALLEY OF DECISION CONSTELLATION GROUP…

.

.

.

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

.

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

.

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

.

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

.

“And the heavens and the earth shall shake…

.

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

.

Joel 3:14-16

.

. 

 

.

.

LOCATING THIS VALLEY OF DECISION CONSTELLATION GROUP…

.

.

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

.

Cassiopeia is the Mount of Blessing.

.

In the sketch, it is the farthest mountain to the left.

.

In the sky, it is the northern-most of these three mountains when facing eastward. It has a snowcapped top.

.

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

.

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

.
