piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit,
and of the joints and marrow,

It’s always fun and exciting to listen to a good, intelligent, orderly and respectable Internet debate between atheists and Christians.
.
And even though we all “root, root, root for the home team”(as that old song sings), we might even learn from listening to the opposition’s arguments.

“They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head…”
Psalm 69:4
.
But as we witness more and more of these atheist/creationist debates, there is a common theme we hear from the atheists.
.
Yes, it is almost guaranteed that we will hear the following complaints: “The God of the Bible is a tyrant, evil, hypocritical, and invented by mere men. Christians are hypocrites, evildoers, etc., etc….

A young lady on a social website was listing some of the Bible’s stupidity, such as
“Forbidding to wear garments of wool mingled with cotton,
or discovering an unfaithful wife
by drinking “bitter water that causeth the curse…
thy thigh to rot,
and thy belly to swell….”
.
And well, this young lady continued on and one (interjecting numerous exclamation marks in the form of curse-words).
.
And then she concluded by saying “these ridiculous Old Testament lawsonlyprove, without a doubt, that the ‘3!#&!#’ Bible is pure Bull-‘3!#&!#’, written by ‘#%$#!’ men!”
.
.
.
.
.
But what we need to understand is, that all those hard-to-understand verses begin to make sense only when we realize that the Bible is a prophetic book.
.
For example, when the Bible forbids wearing clothing made of both wool and linen (cotton), the spiritual message concern our “garments of Salvation”…
…”my soul shall be joyful in my God;
for He hath clothed me
with the garments of salvation”
Isaiah 61:10
.
God wants us to be clothed with woolen from the Lamb of God.
.
We are not to mingle that heavenly garment with the worldly covering of cotton (which symbolizes the commonness of the world).
.
.
.
.
.
SLAVERY
.
God wrote rules concerning slavery for a number of reasons.
.
One very important reason is that back in those days, it was common for people to pay their debts by placing themselves in servitude to the one whom they owed money, until their debt was paid.
.
And so, God laid down codes of conduct for both the slaves and also for their masters.
.
In the New Testament, Paul gave admonitions for godly conduct to Christians who were slaves, sometimes even for employees…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
“For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.”
1st Corinthians 9:19
.
Now, today’s skeptics and critics will use these admonitions to accuse God of being a monster or just a fabrication of the men who made up the entire myth of God and God’s Son.
.
Now even though most Bible students are not slaves of men, the fact is, we are servants and bondmen of Christ…
.
And the unsaved multitudes are servants and prisoners of “the god of this world”, Lucifer, now titled, Satan and The Devil. 2nd Corinthians 4:4
.
And so, these admonitions are applicable in many areas of life, including our career in which we are servants to our employer.
.
.
.
.
.
Jesus said “Therefore speak I to them in parables”
Matthew 13:13
.
… And those skeptics who find seeming contradictions in the Bible or some Bible passages which prove that God is evil, because of this or that thing He did or allowed, only validates the passage that informs us…
Jesus said “Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand”
Matthew 13:13
.
It is not God’s purpose nor intention to bring humans to Salvation via the wisdom of this world.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Mrk_10:51 And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.
.
Even though we may be spiritually blind, nevertheless, we can cry out to God…“Lord, that I might receive my sight.”

Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Daily Devotional, Year 4 – October 14 (Atheism Exposed: Nature’s Witnesses, Part 17: “Atheism Vs. God’s Two-Edged Sword”)
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.
But Harold Camping, when alive, was always ready to admit that he was very capable of error.
.
After all, Camping cautioned his talk-show listeners, perhaps, six-times nightly, “Don’t trust me! I have feet of clay! Trust only the Bible! The Bible, the Bible, the Bible! The Bible is the only infallible Word of truth!”
Over almost 90 years as a churchgoer, even from childhood, he became so thoroughly indoctrinated into the so-called “orthodox” teachings of the mainstream churches.
.
But finally, he renounced the false doctrine, “Eternal Torment”, and began teaching “the wages of sin is death”! Romans 6:23
.
.
.
.
.
SUNDAY SABBATH ERROR
.
But the Sunday Sabbath was another unbiblical church-tradition that Camping grew up hearing about in Church.
.
And he tenaciously clung to that error until the day of his death.
Now just because Harold Camping had several great errors in his teachings, by no means negates all the otherwise wonderful teachings of his 50-year ministry.
.
We all, “know in part and prophesy in part”, as it says in 1st Corinthians 13.
.
None of us are perfect in our understanding.
.
Even the great Martin Luther had errors in his teachings!
.
But God had purposely allowed errors in Camping’s teachings, so that nobody would begin to think of him as some sort of an infallible messenger!
So, while we can learn really a vast amount of valuable information from Camping’s ministry, we are not to neglect our own personal Bible study, to check out what God’s infallible Word says on any particular subject!
So, the challenge goes out to any professing Christian to prove that he (or she) is truly a Noble Berean, and personally begin that fantastic 30-month study in Jeremiah.
.
And all a truth-seeker has to do, is to begin the painless process of listening to a 25-minute Bible study each morning, and test and see for one’s own self!
.
.
This above link is to the first installment of Camping’s Jeremiah study. And at the bottom of each day’s devotional (in year-1 & year-2 devotionals) is a 20-25 minute audio Bible study by Harold Camping.
“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…

THE GLORIOUS WHITE HORSE CONSTELLATION
.
THIS STAR-CHART: 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.
Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Daily Devotional, Year 4 – November 4 (Noble Bereans, Part 10: Re-thinking Harold Camping Regarding His Doctrinal Error of the Sunday Sabbath)
Yes, our teachers (beginning with one, John N. Darby, and popularized by one, Cyrus I. Scofield, back in the 19th Century), have invented this false doctrine to seal up over 80% of the book of Revelation, saying “It doesn’t concern the Church!”
.
And like lambs to the slaughter, the Church is heading into the Day of the Lord, thinking we’re going to miss it! But Revelation, Chapter 22:6.6, 7, 10, 16 says quite the opposite about itself…“These sayings are faithful and true…to shew unto His servants the things WHICH MUST SHORTLY BE DONE. Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book…FOR THE TIME IS AT HAND…I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things IN THE CHURCHES.” (Condensed for context and brevity)
Just ask your Bible teacher about this, above, final confirmation from Revelation’s last chapter and be prepared to get an unsatisfactory/confusing answer!

And all this wrestling with Scripture by theologians and Bible teachers, is just one more reason why God is calling His people out of “The City of Confusion”, mystery 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
.
Yes, this entire false doctrine concerning the so-called “Pre-Tribulation Rapture” is just one more heresy among many, which the apostate church-world teaches.
.
And this is why there is an end-time exodus occurring away from the harlot churches!
But like most of the other Signs which this website reveals, Orion too, has much more to say as he changes his position in the sky. And this Soldier in the Heavens puts on different garb, as he presents the five awesome aspects of his various offices. From ‘Orion the Soldier’,and‘Orion the Reaper’, and‘Orion the Archer’, and‘The Cross of Orion’, and last but certainly not least, “Orion, The Good Shepherd”. This amazing constellation presents a very complex revelation of the God’s magnificent love for a fallen planet.
.
So read on and discover, “things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.” Matthew 13:35

Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Daily Devotional, Year 4 – November 3 (Darby & Scofield’s Pre-Trib Rapture, Part 17: “Revelation’s Now-Unfolding Prophecies”)
But there is a general consensus among all these Bible teachers concerning 2nd Thessalonians, which warns that The Day of the Lord cannot come, until two certain signs are first witnessed in the world…
Yes, 2nd Thessalonians, 2:2 makes very clear… “for that day shall not come, except there come:
.
1. “a falling away first, and…
.
2. “that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.”
2nd Thessalonians 2:3, 4
.
Now here above is seen that two things must first occur, prior to the Day of Christ: “a falling away first”(an apostasy), and the “man of sin be revealed…that he as God sits in the temple of God”.
“…even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time”
1stJohn 2:18
.
Now in the last installment (click here to read) of this little series of devotionals titled, “Apocalypse NOW!”, it was presented that the “Man of Sin” has already been revealed.
.
Yes, contrary to today’s popular consensus in the church-world, Satan, working through the unsaved multitudes, has already come in the form of the Antichrist Beast.
Now the next question to be asked is this… “Have we arrived at that day, when the great apostasy foretold in Scripture has already occurred?”
.
Well, just about any biblically well-versed conservative Christian understands that a great portion of the churches have now embraced a prosperity-driven, pleasure-focused gospel.
.

.
.
BOTH EVENTS FULFILLED
.
Now whether the Reader agrees or not concerning the totality of today’s apostasy, it is generally acknowledged that those churches who have embraced the prosperity/pleasure gospels.
.
And so, the bottom line to all this is, we can now finally see the two events transpiring before our very eyes:
1. The apostasy (falling away) of the Christian world…
2. And the revealing of just what is and who is the Antichrist Beast.
After all, Revelation 17 reveals this multi-faceted beast as having various “kings and kingdoms”, which means this beast is symbolic of Lucifer’s antichrist world-system.
In Revelation, the Dragon of Revelation 12 is described as having seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns.
However, the Dragon Constellation up in the night sky does not.
.
But God has faithfully created the wave of water, in such a way, as to illustrate this same concept of the seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns.
Because this wave of water is basically composed of ten stars.
.
The main body of the wave has seven stars (#‘s, 1 thru 7).
And the tip of the crest of the wave has the other three stars (#’s, 8, 9 & 10).
So we have this 7 and 10 numbering.
And this gives us a great clue, as to where in the Bible we should look, to find out the riddle as to just what or who do these 7 heads, 10 crowns, and 7 horns represent.
Because the Bible speaks very much about floods and waters as being associated with Satan (the Dragon).
There are many who are looking around at this topsy-turvy world, and asking themselves the question…
“Have we arrived at the Day, which is called, The Day of the Lord?”
.
Yes, there are many unbelievable events and unexplainable paradigm shifts going on right now in the world which would make one believe that we have indeed reached that great and fearful day, The Day of the Lord!
But most people do not understand who or what is the nature of this Antichrist beast!
.
We have been told, over and over again, that this Antichrist Beast is a single individual, as it seems to say in 2nd Thessalonians, calling him, the “man of sin”.
.
The problem is that this verse cannot be understood properly unless we allow the Bible to define who is “the man of sin”…
Listen to Isaiah…“How art thou fallen from heaven,
O Lucifer, son of the morning!
how art thou cut down to the ground,
which didst weaken the nations!…
They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee,
and consider thee, saying,
‘IS THIS THE MAN that made the earth to tremble,
that did shake kingdoms'”
Isaiah 14:12, 16
.
So here, Satan (Lucifer) is referred to as, “Is this the man…?”
.
Yes, Satan is the true Antichrist as he has waged his warfare against Heaven and God’s elect through the various kings and kingdoms which have ruled in the earth, throughout history.
.
And so, Lucifer, empowering these various kings and kingdoms is what composes this multi-headed, multi-horned beast with various other beasts making up his body.
These old engravings properly depict this multi-faceted Antichrist Beast with the Mystery Harlot Babylon riding upon it.
.
Yes, the Christian community of yesteryear knew who this beast was, who for centuries persecuted God’s elect in the form of the apostate church-system of Europe.
.
Oh yes, those popish rulers were indeed part of the Antichrist Beast.
And certainly, that apostate church and her popish potentates received the “deadly wound by a sword”(God ‘s sword, the Bible).
And it is true, that the Romish church seems to have fully recovered from that deadly wound.
But the Antichrist Beast is far more than just one of its heads.

.
.
.
.
.
A 7-HEADED BEAST
.
Now this is not to diminish the role that this 5th-head of the beast has played in Church history and in the history of the world.
.
And this 5th-head (popery) is definitely beginning to re-emerge as a big player in the end-time events!
.
But the true fullness of the 1st-Beast of Revelation 13 must be realized by beholding all of its 7 heads.
.
Because in these last moments of Earth’s history, this entire Antichrist Beast will stand upon the world stage in all of its fullness, and in all of its sinister, counterfeit “glory”.
And even though the inhabitants of the world will once again “wonder after the beast”, God’s elect and chosen followers are encouraged to study, study, study, so as to gain a much fuller understanding of this 7-headed Beast.
.
But the bottom line to all this is, we can now finally see the two events transpiring before our very eyes:
1.the apostasy of the Christian world, and…
2. the revealing of just what is and who is the Antichrist Beast, foretold of in 2nd Thessalonian, chapter 2, concerning what must occur prior to Christ’s coming for His gathered-together people.

.
Well, this website offers much more information on these things.
And so, please keep reading these articles on this website to gain a fuller understanding of just where we are in time!

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN
.

.
.
.
7 HEADS, 10 HORNS, & 7 CROWNS OF THE DRAGON
.
“And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.” Revelation 12:3
.
In Revelation, the Dragon of Revelation 12 is described as having seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns.
However, the Dragon Constellation up in the night sky does not.
.
But God has faithfully created the wave of water, in such a way, as to illustrate this same concept of the seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns.
Because this wave of water is basically composed of ten stars.
.
The main body of the wave has seven stars (#‘s, 1 thru 7).
And the tip of the crest of the wave has the other three stars (#’s, 8, 9 & 10).
So, we have this 7 and 10 numbering.
And this gives us a great clue, as to where in the Bible we should look, to find out the riddle as to just what or who do these 7 heads, 10 crowns, and 7 horns represent.
Because, the Bible speaks very much about floods and waters as being associated with Satan (the Dragon).
Okay, in Acts 17:10, 11, Doctor Luke mentions those Believers in Berea, who were more noble than others, because they:
.
1. “Received the Word with all readiness of mind.”
.
2.“And searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so.”
.
And so, these Bereans were ready to receive new teachings, which no doubt, conflicted with the supposed, “orthodox” teachings of that day.
.
So 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!
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.
.
But in reality, nothing failed!
.
No, nothing in Camping’s prediction failed! But God purposely allowed this tarrying-time to awaken His sleeping saints, to prepare them to shine forth in the Day of the Lord!
Yes, Harold Camping was accused of being a false teacher, all for the sake of enriching himself.
.
But those who knew him, understood very well, that this dedicated Bible teacher was a very spiritual servant of God: a man who cared nothing for the riches of this world!
.
But rather, he loved the heavenly riches found only in the study of God’s Word, the Bible!
In the present-day era of lavish mega-churches and jet-setting TV evangelists, stood a humble little group of buildings in Alameda California, somewhat in need of updating.
.
These were the main studios and headquarters of Family Stations Incorporated.
(Since Camping’s death the new CEO has replaced it with a large and expensive headquarters).
.
But that group of outdated buildings became the epicenter for a radio ministry which reached around the world in several dozen languages and broadcast via AM, FM, and shortwave radio.
.
Yes, this humble, yet powerful organization grew over a 50-year span, from one Bay Area FM radio station, into a worldwide ministry.
The president of that station was a thin little wisp of a man, yet with a big and powerful voice, Harold Camping.
.
And with the blessing of the Lord, this man loved the Bible more than life itself, always cautioning his listeners, “Don’t trust my teachings! Trust only in God’s infallible Word, the Bible!”
.
.
.
.
.
.
CAMPING’S UNIMPRESSIVE LIFESTYLE
.
Now, because of Harold Camping’s dedication to sending out the gospel around the world, this faithful servant denied himself many worldly luxuries!
.
But if you would have driven by his house, you might have noticed a 35-year-old Cadillac, and a 35-year-old pickup truck in the driveway.
.
And if you would have watched one of Camping’s televised Bible studies, you would have noticed that his several suits served him well for decades.
.

.
.
.
A ONE-VACATION GUY!
.
Yes, in a day of personal jets, Harold would buy a ticket on a commercial airline, if he had to negotiate a new radio station in a foreign country.
.
And just a few years prior to his death, his wife and family of ten children finally persuaded him to join them for a camp-out about 50 miles from home.
.
That was pretty much Camping’s one and only vacation in all of his 50-year ministry!
.

.
.
.
.
.
NOT ONE ACCUSATION
.
On his nightly call-in show, Camping frequently was asked about his finances.
.
And he was not hesitant to declare that he had been an unpaid volunteer from the very start of Family Radio, “I have never even taking one nickel in wages from this ministry, throughout the years!”
.
Yes, because of wise investments during his early years as a civil engineer, Camping and his family lived very frugally on those investments throughout his years with Family Radio.
.
Oh yes, he had his detractors and critics concerning his teachings!
.
But never was his personal integrity ever called into question, even by his own bookkeeping overseers.
So, the challenge goes out to any professing Christian to prove that he (or she) is truly a Noble Berean, and stop letting others dictate to him just what he must believe and must not believe…
.
Listen…“O My people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.” Isaiah 3:12
.
Yes, as it reveals in the above verse, it is the leaders who mislead God’s people!
.
But just because the world cannot understand that there has been a tarrying time in the Bible’s end-of-the-world prophecy concerning the “Last Day”, that doesn’t necessitate that we too must remain in ignorance of these things!
.
All a truth-seeker has to do is to begin the painless process of listening to a 25-minute Bible study each morning, and test and see for one’s own self!
.
.
This above link is to the first installment of Camping’s Jeremiah study.
.
And at the bottom of each day’s devotional (year-1 & year-2 devotionals) is another 20-25 minute audio Bible study in the Book of Jeremiah, or a similar audio study.
“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…

EXCERPTS FROM THE OPEN FORUM QUESTION/ANSWER RADIO TALK-SHOW…
.
ALL ‘NOBLE BEREANS’ (open-minded seekers of Bible truth) are invited to listen to this Open Forum #28 is a small 30-minute sampling of the late Harold Camping’s nearly 50-year long series of 90-minute nightly talk shows…
“The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof;
because they have transgressed the laws,
changed the ordinance,
broken the everlasting covenant…
The city of confusion (Babylon) is broken down…

SPIRITUAL DEATH-CAMPS!?!
.
One popular Bible teacher recently made the comment, saying to the effect, “Our public schools have devolved into what I refer as “Spiritual Death Camps!”
.
In spite of the fact that there may still be many dedicated, honest-hearted public-school teachers…
.
…his comment was referring to the intense social/political/sexual/moral indoctrination which public schoolchildren are currently subjected to on a daily basis in the government-run classrooms.
.

There are many videos on the Internet, in which various pastors have a very well-ordered, yet lively outdoor debates/discussions with young adults on various college campuses.
.
What is amazing is to witness how thoroughly indoctrinated these young people have become into atheist ideologies.
.
Many young people graduate from public schools, coming out as, what many might say, “Hardened, fire-breathing, God-hating, socialistic atheists”.
.
.
.
.
.
.
It’s very tragic how schools, to a great extent, have become indoctrination centers into atheism, socialism, evolution, racism, sexual deviancy.
.
No wonder that the suicide rate among young people has so greatly increased over the past few decades!
.
These hopeless ideologies eventually drive their victims into confusion, and hopeless despair!
.
After all, if life has no meaning, no purpose, and no hope beyond the grave, can we really blame so many young people for choosing suicide?!
.

If all we are is a collection of infinitesimal energy particles from some cosmic accident, then (as most atheist thought-leaders insist)…
.
.
.
.
.
.
…then there is no right or wrong, good or bad, in a freak accident called “life”. Who wouldn’t be depressed by such a hopeless and dreadful ideology?!
.
And now, if all this horrible godlessness isn’t already bad enough, these same thought-leaders tell these kids they can thwart the natural order of things and choose whatever sexual identity they wish.
.
And if that’s not evil enough, young people are indoctrinated to believe their worth is determined by skin-color!

“Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.”
Hebrews 1:4
.
Of course, many Christians are pulling their children out of this insane-asylum called “The Public School System”!
.
They realize that Lucifer, now called, “the god of this world” has turned this world into his mind-control machine.
.
And via the various media, television, radio, Internet, the printing-press, the governments, and government school-systems…
.
…this antichrist-world-system’s unseen ruler is perfecting his absolute authoritarian control over the minds of humankind!
“Dear Lord, I pray that You would take me out of the horrible slimy pit of lukewarmness, and give me the ability to run the Christian “race with patience”…
This is the Winter Constellations of Signs Of Heaven.
.
Besides Orion and his Horse, we also see pictured in this sketch, the Dragon of Revelation 12.
.
This Revelation 12 Woman Constellation is fleeing.
.
As you can see, the Dragon Constellation is spewing a flood of water in her direction, as is written…
…“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 12:15.
.
This wave of water represents Satan’s lies, and his false teachers who tell those lies.

GOD’S MESSAGE: FLEE!!
.
Beholding the Fleeing Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation in winter, it seems that God is trying to get a very important message across to His people…

WHO WOULD WANT TO “HANG OUT” WITH HOLINESS, ANYWAY?
.
Just think about it! Only another Believer would dare hang around us, if we are truly Christ-like.
.
Do we suppose that Jesus had secular friendships?
.
Or Paul, perhaps?
.
Or even the Apostle John?
.
Certainly, the Bible makes no mention of these three having secular friendships. Only those who were contemplating becoming followers of Jesus were interested in His companionship.
.
Eventually, everyone else wanted Him dead!

CONCLUSION
.
So just who is the most boring of all men?
.
Well, you might say, it’s a draw!
.
First of all, Jesus would be considered boring to the world. Then Paul. Then Peter, then John and the other Apostles. And last but not least, every true worshipper of God. We’re all boring to the world!
But when true worshippers of God get together, then to talk about Jesus and Heaven is the most exciting thing on earth, and maybe also in Heaven too!

TODAY’S PRAYER…
“Dear Lord, help me to not run to the same excess of riot when in the company of unbelievers. But help me instead, to merely smile a warm smile of love, which is by far, the best sermon ever preached…
It is located in the southern sky. (Each night it appears a little earlier, slowly inching westward, through the summer, until it finally disappears below the western horizon in November.)
.
At first, it simply appears as two twin birds flying westward.
.
But if you look once again, it just might appear as a long box-like figure, with one star on the right, as you face it, and two stars on the left.
.
The box, of course would be the Ark, and the stars on either side would represent angels, which are sometimes referred to as stars in the Bible.
Okay, so these in Berea were more noble, because they:
.
1. “Received the Word with all readiness of mind.”
.
2.“And searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so.”
.
And so, these 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!
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-afore-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.
.
But in reality, nothing failed!
.
No, nothing in Camping’s prediction failed! But God purposely allowed this tarrying-time to awaken His sleeping saints, to prepare them to shine forth in the soon-coming, Day of the Lord!
But Harold Camping, when alive, was the first one to admit that he was very capable of error.
.
After all, on each one of his nightly telephone call-in programs, he probably cautioned his listeners 6 to 10 times per night, “Don’t trust me! I have feet of clay! Trust only the Bible! The Bible, the Bible, the Bible! The Bible is the only infallible Word of truth!”
.
Every nightly call-in program was replete with this same warning, “Read the Bible! Study your Bible!”, instead of trusting Harold Camping, or any other Bible teacher!
And indeed, Harold Camping’s ministry was not free from error.
.
Perhaps one of the most glaring errors in Camping’s 50-year ministry, was corrected during his 30-month-long study in Jeremiah, a few years before his death.
.
Yes, while Camping began that study believing in the false doctrine of “Eternal Torment”, he later renounced that doctrine, and began teaching that, “The wages of sin is death”.
.
Now this was a remarkable change-of-mind, since he previously had been teaching the so-called, “orthodox”, church doctrine of, “Eternal Torment”, for nearly 50 years!
But this change-of-mind was in harmony with his long-held belief that a Bible student, and especially a Bible teacher must be willing to prayerfully re-examine his doctrinal beliefs, and change them if necessary.
.
And so, Harold Camping’s wonderful Jeremiah study reveals this change (towards the last few chapters of that 30-month daily study).
Unfortunately, unlike Harold Camping, almost all of today’s popular churches still cling to that old Catholic church-doctrine of eternal torment in Hell (but originally was an ancient Babylonian belief).
.
And today’s apostate churches refuse to see it for what it really is: an unbiblical heresy conjured up by early-century apostate church-leaders who, being void of the Holy Spirit, didn’t have the slightest idea of what constitutes proper Bible interpretation!
.
They simply took some verses out of context, while ignoring many others which speak of Hell as being the grave…eternal death.
So the challenge goes out to any professing Christian to prove that he (or she) is truly a Noble Berean, and personally begin that 30-month study in Jeremiah.
.
Yes, all those who are hungry for truth will delight to hear these many cryptic passages of Jeremiah, finally opened up to our understanding!
.
And now that we are at the threshold of that great and awesome Day of God, this Jeremiah study will begin to make complete sense at such an hour as this, when it is truly needed!
.
And all a truth-seeker has to do is to begin the painless process of listening to a 25-minute Bible study each morning, and test and see for one’s own self!
This above link is to the first installment of Camping’s Jeremiah study. (Go to the Year 1, January 1st devotional (click here) to begin these daily studies)

TODAY’S HEAVENLY SIGN
.
.
.
.
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.

Why didn’t God just make the “Signs of Heaven” so plain to see that most anyone could find them? (Actually, there are several, such as Orion and The 7-Stars, which are very easy to see!
.
But most of these signs take some effort to discern.
.
Well, it would be nice to have some human point them out to us.
.
One Constellation which presents some difficulty to fully see is The Revelation 12 Dragon.
.
Well, the mouth and jaws are very easy to see (Hyades), and the tail-tassel (Pleiades) is also easy to see.
.
And if one goes out on a dark and starry night, the first thing to do is to locate those two constellations (Hyades & Pleiades), which will make it easier to connect the long, coiled serpentine body which winds around and connects these two constellations.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
And yet, it takes some effort to fully discern that coiled body.
.
But there are reasons why God made this Revelation 12 Dragon Constellation in this manner.
.
First of all, the mouth and jaws and teeth of this constellation represent Satan’s ferocious nature, as evidence by the evil all around us and all around the earth!
.
It doesn’t take very long to see evil and the results of evil.
.
Evil and its long train of sorrow & tragedy is literally everywhere we look!
.
And so, why in Heaven’s name, would not the mouth, jaws, and teeth, be easy to see?!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Yes, it only makes sense that the mouth, jaws, and teeth of the dragon constellation would be easy to locate!
.
And they are! They are commonly known as the Hyades Constellation.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Now, upon closer examination, the tail-tassel (Pleiades) represents a woman and actually can be seen as two women: the Church-apostate and the Church-faithful.
.
Yes, this constellation can be seen as a harlot with a wine-cup.
.
But looking at again, one might see it as a long-haired woman with angel-wings.
.
This woman represents the church-in-Babylonian-captivity.
.
And likewise, it’s not too difficult to see the Church of God in her apostate condition.
.
Hence, these women are the tail-tassel of the Dragon.
.
But the hard part is to discern the long, coiled body of the Dragon.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Yes, the hard part is to discern the long, coiled body of the Dragon.
.
But why would God make this part of the Dragon so hard to see? Well, a very common proverb is the following: “The Devil’s greatest trick was to make people think he doesn’t exist!”
.
One study found that while a large portion of humanity believes that God exists.
.
But only one-percent of those questioned actually believe there is a literal Devil!
.
Pretty amazing, would you say?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
And so, it only makes sense that this Revelation-12-Dragon-Constellation’s long serpentine body is difficult to discern!
.
But this is a very good case-study for the other Signs-of-Heaven.
.
Because God purposely designed every one of these constellations in such a way that brings out various Bible truths concerning each sign.
.
