“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

“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

THE VALLEY OF DECISION CONSTELLATION GROUP.

.

They appear in mid-summer in the eastern skies in pre-dawn hours.

.

These are made of Cassiopeia (mount on left)…

…and various stars from the Andromeda Constellation (valley) 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.)

Psa_36:2  For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.

Part 20:

“No God = No Truth”

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…

.

…and all this 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”

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.
