“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
.
.
.
.
.
.
“What in the world is going on!?”
.
Doesn’t it seemingly appear as though everything we once took for granted is now getting canceled?!
.
You name it! From cartoons to Shakespeare!
.
From Dr. Seuss to Abraham Lincoln!
.
From genders to Hollywood movies!
.
From history books, even to the Constitution!
.
From church attendance to sitting in a coffee house!
.
From conservative videos to Christian websites!
.
Nothing seems beyond the reach of this current-day “Cancel Culture”!

“The sinners in Zion are afraid”
Isaiah 33:14
.
It all seems so crazy, and yet, a good percentage of the world’s citizenry seems to be very much okay with all this canceling out!
.
So, just what is going on?
.
And why are people so willing to tacitly accept all this canceling out of everything we once took for granted, assuming these would always be here with us?
.
Well, even though all this apparent societal insanity is confusing, to say the least, we must be aware that the Bible prophesied of this very hour in which we are now in!

SATAN, ‘THE GOD OF THIS WORLD”
2nd Corinthians 4:4
.
First, let’s make it very clear, just who is in control of this world. No, not God (oh yes, ultimately, God is in control).
.
But rather, as Scripture reveals…
“…And this is that spirit of antichrist…
They are of the world:
therefore speak they of the world,
and the world heareth them.”
1st John 4:3, 5
.
This is their god, and this is their prince…Lucifer! And to him, the world lends its listening, obedient ear!
.
.

BUYING OR SELLING
.
Now listen to Revelation 13:17…
…”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
.
Here we begin to see that the Bible long ago prophesied of this current-day “Cancel-Culture” in the last hours of history.
.
Yes, all those who refused to bow 
down to Satan would be canceled! At least, their ability to “buy or sell” would be canceled.
.
And probably not just financially either…“Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.” Proverbs 23:23
.
Now, with this above verse, all this canceling begins to make sense.

HABAKKUK SAYS “RUN!”
.
The Book of Habakkuk speaks of this very day and hour in which we now find ourselves…
…”And the LORD answered me,
and said, Write the vision,
and make it plain upon tables,
that he may run that readeth it.”
Habakkuk 2:2
.
You see, the prophet, Habakkuk, had a vision of Chaldeans (unbelievers) moving in, with leopard-like swiftness, to cancel out biblical Christianity.
.
Thus, by means of enveloping the Christian community with soul-destroying influences, to the degree that Christians lose their ability to make good solid biblical judgments.
.
And when we finally wake up (spiritually speaking) and realize that this antichrist world has become our enemy (that it actually is and always has been our enemy), God, through Habakkuk, commands us to “RUN”!

PSALMS SAYS, “HIDE!” AND THAT’S GOOD NEWS! A PLACE OF REFUGE!
.
But where do we run? And where do we hide?
.
Well, that’s the Good News!
.
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…
and that Rock was (and is) Christ”
Psalm 27:5 & 1st Corinthians 10:4
.
Yes, if we delay not, and run to the safety of the secret of God’s tabernacle, we will find safety from the approaching, “windy storm and tempest”. Psalm 55:8

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN
.
.
.
.
THE WIDE & NARROW GATE STARS
.
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 (this sketch is the 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 to right).
.
.
