Taking Back This Nation For God!
.
Part 21:
“Turn Not To The Right Hand, Nor To The Left!”

We must remember the Wise Man’s advice…
“Keep thy heart with all diligence;
for out of it are the issues of life.
Put away from thee a froward mouth,
and perverse lips put far from thee.
Let thine eyes look right on,
and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.
Ponder the path of thy feet,
and let all thy ways be established.
TURN NOT TO THE RIGHT HAND, NOR TO THE LEFT:
remove thy foot from evil.”
Proverbs 4:24-27

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

“And I…saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy”
Revelation 13:1
.
Of course, Satan didn’t get killed back there in Europe. Nor was his tyrannical Beast-system killed. It merely received a deadly wound, and yet, was eventually healed.
.
But Satan had a new challenge presented to him: how he might possibly infiltrate and eventually destroy this new Christian nation, The USA.
.
Well, that was really no problem! You see, Satan well knew that he would eventually turn this nation into the 2nd Beast of Revelation 13: The False Prophet.
.
.
.
.
.
.
“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
.
Yes, this 2nd beast of Revelation (which arises up in strength from its opulent materialism derived from the natural resources of the earth), has “two horns like a lamb, and speaks as a dragon” (the dragon being Satan)!
.
.
.
.
.
.
SATAN CAUSES TROUBLE
.
But while God’s people were hoping to make a place of refuge from the wickedness they left behind, Satan was already bringing his own people across the waters: secularists, and pseudo-Christians.
.
And it didn’t take long before he had already stirred up trouble in this young nation: slavery, wars with native Americans, and religious persecution had soon become the order of the day.
.
But the God-given constitution finally prevailed, and after a long struggle, the Constitution ended slavery. And the following decades saw the eventual demise of racism.
.
Oh no, not that this world could ever be perfect! No, but eventually both Native Americans and Black Americans gradually rose in stature, even becoming leaders in their communities, and some even world leaders!
.
This was truly a remarkable accomplishment, thanks be to our Constitution and dedicated Christian leaders!

“Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.”
Psalm 85:10
.
But still, Satan was not going to give up! And because the Bible prophesied that this False Prophet had “two horns as a lamb”, Satan knew he must give this deceiving beast two horns of power like the Lamb of God: Compassion & Morality.
.
Yes, just as Jesus is the very essence of mercy & truth, righteousness & peace, Satan would give this False Prophet those very qualities…yet without the power of God.
.
.
.
.
.
.
“And he (the 2nd Beast) causeth all…that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark…of the beast…”
Revelation 13:16, 17 [condensed]
.
And so, as we now sadly witness this nation become deeply divided, we begin to understand why. This False Prophet was prophesied to begin persecution once again. And just like the first Beast of Revelation, this second Beast would eventually choke off the true and unvarnished Gospel from being preached. And those who refused to conform their characters into the image of Satan’s present-day antichrist world-system would likewise suffer persecution, even death!
.
So, what we are now seeing is a False Prophet Beast with two horns, The DIVIDED States of America!
.
.
.
.
.
.
Now, at this point, someone would asked the obvious question: “If these two political powers are both horns on the same beast, why in the world does one horn seem so overtly evil, while the other horn appears to be so morally correct?”

“This know also, that in the last days…men shall be…fierce, despisers…Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away”
2nd Timothy 3:1, 3,5
.
Well, it’s not difficult to realize that this is a very evil and selfish world!
.
And so, the real question which should be asked is, “Why does there seem to exist so much supposed goodness in this evil Luciferian world?”
.
This above passage from 2nd Timothy gives us a giant revelation concerning the supposed goodness we see so often: namely, there exists a “form of godliness” in this world, yet entirely separate from true godliness: a counterfeit goodness.

“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 (counterfeit) ministers of righteousness”
2nd Corinthians 11:14, 15
.
This above passage from 2nd Corinthians 11:14, 15, pulls back the curtain on the inner-workings of Satan in this world: that while manifesting himself to the world as a pitchfork-wielding mischievous evil-loving demon, his greatest deception is to come in the form of an angel of light, bringing a countless army of human followers who also have the appearance of being “the Good Guys”, yet actually are filled with his antichrist spirit! And that is why there appears to be so much supposed goodness in the world! A façade of morality and kindness!

“The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords”
Psalm 55:21
.
Yes, as this above verse from Psalm 55:21 reveals, there are many deceivers in the world, whose words may seem benign, but are actually warriors of Satan!
.
And so, let’s no longer be simple-minded Christians, but rather be, “wise as serpents, and harmless as doves…in the midst of wolves…in sheep’s clothing” Matthew 10:16 & 7:15
.

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY”
Proverbs 25:25
.
Well just how this battle between these two lamblike horns will turn out, only God knows!
.
We’ll have to wait and see just which horn will prevail? Or maybe they’ll join forces to persecute God’s people!
.
But for those who are tired of this out-of-control world, “…an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The Way of Holiness…” Isaiah 35:8
.
Yes, for those who wish to escape this soon-to-be-doomed world, there is a highway which leads gently upward. And the Lamb of God is calling for each and every weary soul to become Heaven-bound pilgrims, sojourning out of this pandemic madness! The heavenly Promised Land is awaiting!
.
And it is a good Land, a land of peace & harmony & brotherly love, and, “a land flowing with milk and honey”, in which we will truly be forever happy, and forever young!

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 bei
ng 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.
