Because, just when we make vows, the Devil often will come along, and patiently and gradually draw us back into that old besetting sin, little-by-little, so that eventually all those noble resolutions become like worthless ropes of sand!
‘They that sow in tears…shall doubtless come again rejoicing!”
.
And one day soon, this next prophecy will find its fulfillment in our lives…
…”They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed,
shall doubtless come again with rejoicing,
bringing his sheaves with him.”
Psalm 126:5, 6
.
And once this promise is fulfilled for us, we will never ever compromise with sin again; but we will instead hold fast to, and walk continually by every single “great and precious promise” which the Bible declares!
This constellation was identified on May 22nd, 2014.
.
It is simply five stars, two from the Serpens Constellation, and three from the Hercules Constellation.
.
What gives this constellation impetus and significance is that it appears as five evenly positioned stars, in a slight oval pattern, as if they were sitting in a meeting, listening, or perhaps watching someone.
.
Second, they appear to be gathered in front of The Crown of Revelation 12 Constellation. (just below Corona Borealis in this Wikipedia star-chart, in which the editor of this site sketched in these two constellations)

But before the reader is left worrying that God is ready to grab away a Believer’s crown…
.
…this 2nd installment will be offered to present the manner in which the Lord works within the hearts and lives of His people, the true worshipers of God.

TODAY’S HEAVENLY SIGN
.
.
.
FIVE WISE VIRGINS STARS
.
This constellation was identified on May 22nd, 2014.
.
It is simply five stars, two from the Serpens Constellation, and three from the Hercules Constellation.
.
What gives this constellation impetus and significance is that it appears as five evenly positioned stars, in a slight oval pattern, as if they were sitting in a meeting, listening, or perhaps watching someone.
.
Second, they appear to be gathered in front of The Crown of Revelation 12 Constellation. (just below Corona Borealis in this Wikipedia star-chart, in which the editor of this site sketched in these two constellations)
The position of these stars is significant in a number of ways. The first, being that these Five Wise Virgins are gathered around the 12-star Crown of Revelation 12.
.
And the obvious message here is, that these wise virgins represent the faithful portion of God’s Church.
.
And as wise virgins, they understand the importance of winning the glorious crown of victory, which Jesus promised.
.
Listen…“Know ye not that they which run in a race run all,
but one receives the prize?
So run, that ye may obtain.
And every man that strives for the mastery is temperate in all things.
Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown;
but we an incorruptible.”
1st Corinthians 9:24, 25.
.
And so, God is showing us the difference between the wise and the foolish in His Church.
.
While the wise are gathered around this crown of victory, the foolish are nowhere to be found.

Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Daily Devotional, Year 4 – May 28 (The Revelation 12 Crown Constellation, Part 3: “Hold Fast To What Thou Hast!” CONTINUED)
Back in the 1970’s, a certain saying was popularized…“The Devil made me do it! The Devil made me do it!”
.
And this was merely mocking Christians, who were seemingly obsessed with pointing the finger at the Devil.
.
Then this unbelieving world could all joke and mock “the silly and absurd notion” that Satan is a very active and powerful force controlling the peoples of this world, by laughingly saying…“The Devil made me do it! The Devil made me do it!“
NEWS FLASH!“A ‘Pastor’ convinces his flock of the heretical “Age of Accountability” church-doctrine, causing one deceived mother to drown her four young children, believing they’ll automatically go to Heaven!”
.
NEWS FLASH!“Teenager walks into a school and shoots several dozen students, thinking he’s playing one of his video games!”
.
NEWS FLASH!“Preacher makes prophetic prediction about some supposed future event!”

.
INNER-VOICES
.
So just what did these three completely separate news stories all have in common with each other?
.
Well, it was later discovered that in each case, these persons all claimed to have heard an inner-voice, directing them in what to do or in what to say. (In the case of the preacher, he freely revealed that he was spoken to by an unseen entity who gave him that prophecy.)

.
.
THE DEFINITION OF INSANITY?
.
And on a popular daytime secular television talk show, one of the hosts called a well-known political figure, “crazy”, because he believes that Jesus talks to him occasionally.
.
“That’s the very definition of ‘insanity'”, she laughingly remarked.
.
And this kind of thinking should not surprise us.
.
And ol’ Siggy here would, little doubt, whole-heartedly agree with such an assessment!
.
After all, we’re living in a very atheistic society!
.
And so, most people would agree that anyone hearing voices must have some sort of mental illness.
“AND HE HAD POWER TO GIVE LIFE UNTO THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST”
Revelation 13:15
.
So, what’s going on? Was that TV talk show host correct? Are those who hear inner-voices merely crazy?
.
The fact is, that we are now living in a day in which thousands, even millions are claiming that they are hearing a voice which talks to them at times.
.
Is this some sort of mass insanity?
.
.
.
.
.
THE IMAGE GIVEN POWER TO SPEAK
.
And what does the Bible have to say about all this? After all, the Bible is filled with true historical accounts of God speaking to various persons on sundry occasions.
.
The fact is, we are now living in the very day in which the Bible foretold the following…
…”And he (the 2nd Beast of Revelation 13)
had power to give life unto the image of the (1st) beast,
that the image of the (1st) beast should both speak,
and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the (1st) beast
should be killed.”
Revelation 13:15
.
Here is foretold that the day would come in which an image would be given the power to speak.
And anyone familiar with this website probably knows that this talking-image has been identified as being the various high-tech electronic media such as television, Internet, radio.
.
Yes, Satan is now able to project his evil and selfish image through the airways, transferring that image into the hearts and homes of an ever-increasing percentage of the world’s inhabitants.
.
After all, does not the Bible call him, “The Prince of the Power of the Air”? Ephesians 2:2
.
But this talking image of Revelation 13 is not limited to these devices alone.
.
No, Satan has now been permitted to speak directly into the minds of men, women, and even children, leading unsuspecting millions to believe that it is God speaking to them.
.
But it’s not God. It’s the Devil.
.
.
.
.
.
.
SATAN NOW PERMITTED TO SPEAK
.
And that mother was fully convinced that it was God telling her to do the unthinkable to her four precious children, before they reached the so-called, “Age of Accountability”!
.
And that teenager who slaughtered his peers, reveals to police that it was a voice telling him to commit this heinous and horrific act…that it was “a real-life video game”!
.
And that evangelist freely acknowledges that the “Holy Spirit” was giving him that prophetic utterance.

.
.
.
.
.
ANY GOOD NEWS HERE?
.
So, just what’s the Good News in all this?
.
Well, this is still the day of Salvation. And if anyone is plagued by this false Holy Spirit or any other identified voice in their mind, there is deliverance.
.
And those who are held captive in this web of sin in the form of familiar spirits, are warned to “flee to the mountains”: that is, the spiritual “mountain of His (God’s) holiness”! (Mark 13:14 & Luke 21:21 & Psalm 48:1)
.
And through unceasing prayer and Bible contemplation and total consecration to Christ, that needy soul can be freed from the Antichrist image which has now been given power to speak.

TODAY’S 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 7/10 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).
From cradle-to-grave, we are taught that we must depend upon our own strength to get things done!
.
And we are told we must rely upon our own intellect to solve our problems!
.
Yes, this is truly a Rosie-The-Riveter world in which the people attempt to live by their own strength and intellect, instead of trusting in God’s strength and relying on His infinite wisdom!
7 HEADS OF ANTICHRIST BEAST = 7 STARS OF AURIGA CONSTELLATION
.
This Antichrist beast is described in the above passage as having 7 heads.
.
But the Revelation 12 Dragon in the night-sky does not.
.
And so, the question is, “Where are the 7 heads in this Revelation 12 Dragon Constellation?”
.
Simple! The wave of water coming out of the dragon’s mouth is comprised of 7 stars (plus three dim stars, #’s 8, 9, 10, at the very tip of the crest of this wave.)
.
And so, those 7 bright stars represent the 7 heads.
.
And in tomorrow’s devotional, this parallel will be further explored.

Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Daily Devotional, Year 4 – April 12 (It’s A Rosie The Riveter World, Part 6: “1st Head of the Beast: Pride!”)
Many people are dismayed, upset, and perplexed, all because it seems as if destructive forces are breaking down and tearing apart the very backbone and fabric of this society.
.
Even our school systems are becoming lawless by their very wicked policy of grooming small children, encouraging them to embrace sexual perversion.
.
Our government is rapidly bringing itself into financial ruin because of excess spending and endless borrowing.
.
And much of the populace no longer cares for the rule of law, but some are even beginning to engage in mob rule, and occasionally even mob violence!
.
Many judges no longer rule impartially, but according to politics and political correctness.
For example, even among the reputed, “upright” citizens of this society, there has been an erosion of morality.
.
To a large extent, the general populace no longer obeys many of the required ordinances of man.
.
Many seemingly upright citizens will cheat on their income taxes.
.
Many will begin a project around the house which requires obtaining a building permit of some kind, and ignore those requirements because of cost and inconvenience.
.
Many will ignore the laws and speed limits on the streets and highways.
“He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much”
Luke 10:16
.
And so, God looks down on this lawlessness and eventually decides, “to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.“. Jeremiah 17:10
.
God is removing the restraints from Mankind. And that decadent society opens its floodgates to corruption and lawlessness.
.
And that is what we are now seeing in this society!
What must be done is, for any man, woman, or child, who desires to escape the awful judgments of God, to turn away from our own individual lawlessness…
…and then we must pray for God’s chastening Hand to purify us from our iniquity!
This is our only hope!
.
Listen…“Ye adulterers and adulteresses,
know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God?
whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world
is the enemy of God…
Cleanse your hands, ye sinners;
and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep:
let your laughter be turned to mourning,
and your joy to heaviness.
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord,
and He shall lift you up.”
James 4:4, 8-10
.
Here is the prescribed remedy for our backsliding ways!
.
And this is not just some 24-hour work! No this is a prescription for a lifetime!
And it will be our joy to enter into this type of relationship with our Lord.
Yes, repentance is a joyful work, even though it may be mingled with many tears…“As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing…” 2nd Corinthians 6:10
“Dear Lord, Help me to escape this awful and fearful judgment which seems to be falling on this society. Let me hide myself in Thy secret pavilion until the indignation be overpast…
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 resembles a snowcapped mountain.
Then find the second snowcap to its right (south).
.
Then go a little further south to the next third snowcap which is the Destroying Mountain Constellation.
(of course, you won’t see the snowcaps in the sky. They are just an embellishment in this sketch to present a concept-EDITOR).
.
.
.
.
.
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) Pegasus (Mount of Cursing (middle mount) & Destroying Mount (right)), and Pisces (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.)

Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Daily Devotional, Year 4 – April 6 (Taking Back This Nation For God! Part 15: “Why All The Lawlessness?”)
Well, the fact is, most of us have been called many derogatory names over the span of our lifetime.
.
Back in our early schooling, some of our less-than-admiring companions may have teased us about some perceived flaw in our looks, personality, or life-circumstances.
“I (Jesus) know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.” Revelation 3:1
.
What a wonderful name! “Children of Light”!
.
It kind-of makes us feel a responsibility to protect that light within us, doesn’t it?
.
Well, it should!
.
After all, there are many ways in this dark old world, in which we might drink in that darkness, isn’t there?
.
And this above verse from Revelation warns that a good name must be protected (“I (Jesus) know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.”)
.
.
.
.
.
DRINKING IN THE DARKNESS
.
Just think of all the things of the world which exude darkness: the various newscasts on TV and radio, for instance, which report one heinous crime after another.
.
Do we think that has any effect on our Heavenly glow?
.
Well, God thinks it does!
.
Just listen…“Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire (God)?
who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
He that walks righteously, and speaks uprightly…
that stops his ears from hearing of blood,
and shuts his eyes from seeing evil…”
Isaiah 33:14, 15.
.
Well, isn’t that what so much of nightly news is all about: the “hearing of blood” (violence)?
.
And on TV news, we not only hear about violence, but we get to see it, too!
Dear Stranger & Pilgrim in this world (two more God-given names), instead of watching evil communications, it is our responsibility to reprove all such evil.
.
Listen…“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness,
but rather reprove them.
For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light:
for whatsoever doth make manifest is light…“
Ephesians 5:11-14.
.
Just think, the Bible tells us that it’s a shame to even speak of such hideous crimes we so casually and carelessly watch on TV!
.
.
.
.
.
LIGHT MANIFESTS THE DARKNESS
.
But the good news is, God is also calling us to awaken from our death-like slumber, and He will give us light…
“Wherefore He (God) saith,
Awake thou that sleepest,
and arise from the dead,
and Christ shall give thee light.”
Ephesians 5:14
.
Yes, as this passage, and also the one before it from Ephesians tells us, it is light which makes manifest the darkness of this world (“for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.” Ephesians 5:13).
Therefore, instead of gathering darkness, let us each be light-gatherers! And there is no better way of gathering light, than to behold Jesus, “in the light of His Word”!
(a line from the hymnal song, “When We Walk with the Lord”)
Well, who hasn’t heard of Black Holes in outer space?
.
Just about everybody has!
.
Society is always making mention of Black Holes, telling us that stellar Black Holes are the result of “dying stars”.
.
Of course, the Bible refutes this notion, saying, regarding stars, “not one of them faileth” Isaiah 40:26.
.
And actually, if the science community were to be totally candid, they would confess that because this mysterious phenomenon is so incredibly far-distant, this Black Hole theory is merely a guess.
But because of our rebellion against Heaven, Mankind is always searching for a substitute deity to adore, in attempt to fill that empty black hole in our heart.
.
Well, at least, it seems as though all of these things are true.
.
And it also seems as if many lost souls attempt to substitute the God of Heaven with an earthly replacement, such as a human.
.
Just listen to some of those love songs out there…
…“I will love you always!”
“My love for you is greater than the ocean!”
“You are the sunlight of my soul!”
“Our love will always keep us together…forever!”
.
Yes, humanity wants to turn marital companionship into something much greater: an almost infinite and undying worship of another human!
It has become apparent, on this date, that as summer draws to a close, this “Flower of the Field Constellation”(AKA Sagittarius) appears to bend almost completely down.
.
This occurs as it travels into the western skies. It somehow rotates in order to produce this effect.
.
This is a very wonderful phenomenon…and biblical too!
.
After all, the Bible says, “the grass withers and the flower falls away”.
.
And that’s exactly what this flower constellation seems to do.
.
It almost seems to be bowing itself…in the direction of that bright and beautiful star, “Arcturus” (which represents Jesus).

Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Daily Devotional, Year 4 – March 19 (As The Flower of the Field, Part 15: “Black Holes In Inner-Space: Romantic Idolatry!”)
But the problem with all this theological categorizing is that they are unwittingly adding to the Bible, names which God never named.
.
In other words, just like Abram & Sarai tried to “help God out” by their wicked plan to conceive a child through adultery…
.
…so likewise, today’s theologians try to “help God out” by attempting to analyze the Bible according to fallible, human understanding.
.
But God warns us not to add to His infallible Word, nor diminish ought from that same Word.
.
And so, the Christian must never attempt to add nor take away from God’s finished Word.
.
Oh yes, teachers may attempt to interpret the Bible, as long as we proclaim that our interpretations are not infallible.
.
But the practice of adding non-biblical names to Scripture cannot be biblically supported!
.
.
.
.
.
“If any man…add…God shall add unto him the plagues…herein”
Revelation 22:18
.
But even more than this “adding to and diminishing ought”, these erring teachers now falsely claim that New Testament Christians are not required to obey the so-called civil, ceremonial, and health laws.
.
At best, some might concede, “Well, only the moral law is now to be obeyed by Christians”!
.
This even makes their transgression more grievous to God, and becomes a stumbling block for churchgoers!
.
.
.
.
.
ALL SCRIPTURE TO BE OBEYED!
.
What today’s Bible teachers and theologians do not understand is that the entire Bible is valid for today’s Christian.
.
Listen…“All scripture is given by inspiration of God,
and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction,
for instruction in righteousness:
That the man of God may be perfect,
thoroughly furnished unto all good works.”
2nd Timothy 3:16, 17
.
All Scripture is profitable and very relevant to the Christian and is to be obeyed.
“Yet the LORD hath not given you…eyes to see, and ears to hear” Deuteronomy 24:4
.
Now, this is where the current-day Bible teachers and theologians go wrong.
.
In today’s apostate church-world, there is a spiritual blindness which forbids most of the Christian community from seeing the spiritual nature of the Bible.
.
They do not perceive that the Old Testament is the Gospel of Jesus, howbeit veiled in allegories, proverbs, types, shadows and symbols.
.
Today’s Christian teachers and theologians even forbid Christians from interpreting the Bible spiritually, unless absolutely required.
.
And so, when the Old Testament speaks of earthly things, to a great extent, they cannot see the heavenly meaning.
” Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in…the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt”
.
This above verse speaks of a yearly celebration of Israel’s exodus from their hard bondage in Egypt.
.
But even though Christians do not literally celebrate this feast, we nevertheless are informed by Paul…
“Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven,
neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness;
but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.”
1st Corinthians 5:8
.
This verse reveals the true meaning of the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
.
It actually represents the Christian who shuns all the unbiblical philosophies, false church-doctrines, maxims, traditions, and ungodliness of the world, clinging ever-so tenaciously to the Bible-and-the-Bible-only!
Counting the Sun as the 1st heavenly sphere, the Earth is the 4th heavenly sphere.
.
If we extend our theory (and it’s just a theory) that God created our solar system to correspond to the commandments, the Sun corresponding to the 1st Commandment, then Planet Earth would correspond to the 4th-Commandment: The Seventh-day Sabbath.
.
And so, on the very planet that corresponds to the commandment that exalts the idea of “peace” and “rest”, there exists very little peace.

Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Daily Devotional, Year 4 – March 18 (The Commandments of God, Part 4: “Christians & The Old Testament Law”)
Now this 2nd Beast of Revelation 13 has two horns.
.
(The 1st Beast mostly being Satan’s tyrannical church/state system which ruled over Europe and persecuted Christians throughout the hundreds of years of the Dark Ages)
.
Yes, this 2nd Beast has “two horns like a Lamb”. Revelation 13:11
.
And, as already set forth in previous articles, these two Christlike horns represent Jesus, the Lamb of God, with His own two horns of power: mercy and justice…
…”Mercy and truth are met together;
righteousness and peace have kissed each other.”
Psalm 85:10
.
These are the horns of Christ’s divine power and authority.
.
But this false prophet beast has counterfeited these two horns of power!
Now today’s devotional is only concerned with the 6th Head of this 1st antichrist beast (right), which is likewise the Left Horn of the False Prophet 2nd Beast (picture left).
This 6th head corresponds to the left horn which is the “compassionate” horn, counterfeiting Jesus, who, as we know, Jesus was and is the true essence of unpretentious compassion.
Now, having said all this, it must be emphasized that God often works behind the scenes, through all this so-called “compassion”, often making sure that earth’s inhabitants receive their much-needed help and care.
.
And there may indeed be some individuals in whom God is working through, within the humanitarian communities of the world.
.
Therefore, we must not dare to judge the motives of the heart of any one individual!
.
As a whole group? Yes! But never judge any one individual’s heart!
.
But though we might dare to judge the various institutions of society, yet we should always do so “in fear, and in much trembling.” 1st Corinthians 2:3
And yet, in spite of God’s merciful orchestration over these humanitarian entities, overall, the world’s institutions are nonetheless mostly a product of…
…”the prince of the power of the air:
that spirit which now works in the children of disobedience”.
Ephesians 2:2
.
Yes, Satan’s antichrist spirit is now working in the unsaved people of the world.
.
And this “form of godliness” has NOT the true Spirit of love and compassion, but merely a counterfeit version of Heaven’s love and compassion!
“HAVING A FORM OF GODLINESS, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.”
2nd Timothy 3:2, 3
.
Well, time does not permit to enumerate the seemingly countless examples of hypocrisy and selective compassion exercised by this left horn of the False Prophet/Antichrist Beast of Revelation 13.
.
But the point is, that Satan’s counterfeit compassion must be seen for what it truly is: merely “a form of godliness”, ignorantly void of the true Power of Love only found in God’s Holy Spirit!
The Good News is, that it is still the day of Salvation.
.
And those of us who have been deceived can finally turn away from this antichrist world-system…
.
…and begin the upward sojourn to the Celestial City of God, where true love and compassion for all, rules supreme!
.
And there will be no more hypocrisy, nor selective compassion (often mingled with selective cruelty).
.
These sorrowful qualities will no longer exist in that wonderful Promised Land of “The New Heaven and New Earth”! (Hebrews 12:22, 23 & Revelation 21:1)
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).

Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Daily Devotional, Year 4 – March 17 (The False Prophet, Part 28: “The Left Horn: Cruel Compassion”)
“But Evil Men and Seducers Shall Wax Worse and Worse…”
2nd Timothy 3:13
.
But what most citizens of any immoral nation do not realize is that the abyss of sin is a bottomless pit…
…”And he opened the bottomless pit;
and there arose a smoke out of the pit,
as the smoke of a great furnace;
and the sun and the air were darkened
by reason of the smoke of the pit.”
Revelation 9:2
.
This is why we are now witnessing our current western societies sinking deeper and deeper into immorality and self-destruction.
.
Yes, those very nations which once lovingly embraced the Christian Reformation are now suffering the results of their turning away from that great Christian revival.
“As It Was In The Days of Lot… Even Thus Shall It Be…”
Luke 17:28, 30
.
And even in the United States, we are seeing the results of our Laodicean lukewarmness.
.
Yes, just as Lot was vexed on a daily basis by the immorality of his fellow townspeople…
.
…so too, we Christians today are vexed by all the corruption and misdeeds of this Sodomitish society.
.
And God has judged us, we who are in the Christian community’s enthusiastic pursuit of the many hedonistic pleasures and ambitious attainments which this cornucopian super-society now offers!
.
And as a just recompense, Sodom is now rising up all around us. And the walls of hatred and persecution seem to be closing in on God’s people.
.
Our world has become a great world-indoctrination-machine in which we and our children are worldly-minded indoctrination on a daily basis by all the mass media.
This horrible judgment was fulfilled on a small scale during the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD, but will be repeated on a massive scale in these last days.
.
And believe it or not, there has even been one or two leading evolutionists recently suggesting such a thing, as if it would be beneficial for our society to engage in!
.
Unbelievable? Yes! But don’t think that the current downward spiral will be like the previous downfalls of past societies!
.
No, the one that is coming will seem like the world has fallen into that bottomless pit…and just keeps falling, down, down, down!
.
In other words, in this final apostasy, God is going to reveal just how unthinkably wicked that sin actually is!
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.
.
Then find the second snowcapped mountain to its right (south).
.
Then go a little further south to the next third snowcapped mount.
.
The third snow-capped mount is the Destroying Mountain Constellation.
.
These three are the snow-capped portions of these three mountains in this sketch. (of course, you won’t see the snow-caps in the sky. They are, obviously, just an embellishment in this sketch to present a concept-EDITOR).

One of the most amazing creatures ever created is the Cuttlefish!
.
Actually, it is not a fish, but a type of mollusk, like a squid, or an octopus.
.
The reason why this creature is so incredible, is that it can just glance at its environment and instantly change its body to imitate that environment.
.
For instance, if it wants to hide from its enemies, or lie-in-wait for its victims, next to a seaweed, it simply changes its color, spots, and shape to imitate that seaweed.
.
It can even instantly grow leaf-like appendages to imitate certain seaweeds!
It is nothing short of amazing to hear the amount and degree of hypocrisy, obfuscation, story-spiking, and abject lies, etc., in today’s media, when it comes to anything that may have an effect on politically-divided issues.
.
Very often, it’s almost like the major media has gone completely insane, because of their jealousy for their own political ideology!
.
It almost seems as though many political radicals might even rather see the entire nation fail, than to lose the slightest political advantage.
.
And as of late, the lying has gotten to the point that it’s become obvious to anyone who hears them!
But amidst all this horrible news, there nevertheless is some Good News!
.
Yes, this is still the day of Salvation!
.
And anyone who desires to escape the awful judgments now coming down upon the world, still has a chance to escape all these things!
.
And those who are sick and tired of being possessed by the spirit of lying and error can cry out for God’s mercy and grace!
.
And should God peradventure give us repentance to the acknowledging of the truth, we will then receive the “Spirit of Truth” in which God’s Holy Spirit will come and make His abode in our hearts!
.
And no more will Satan be our father!
.
But God will now become our Father and give us a love for the truth!

TODAY’S PRAYER…
“Dear Lord, Help me to see and understand the great deception, which is the Planet Earth! Help me study Thy Word that I may become wise as a serpent, but harmless as a dove…
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.

“FROM FAITH TO FAITH…THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH!”
Hebrews 1:18
.
And so, eventually that Believer saw his faith being further strengthened day-by-day, and his murmuring heart eventually quieted, now content to allow God to work through his daily difficulties.
.
And let’s face it! There is nothing like some catastrophic illness, whatever that illness happens to be, to get our attention, that we look up to God for help!
.
And even though God is very concerned about our life here on earth, His greatest desire is to be with us throughout eternity!
.
.
.
.
.
.
OUR DAILY BATTLE
.
Perhaps at the end of each day, maybe while lying down in bed, we need to spend much time thinking back on how we might have overcome that big or little attack by the Devil.
.
Just what “exceeding great and precious promises” could have been employed, which would have given us the victory over the temptations which assailed us in our daily warfare?
.
Listen…Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises:
that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature,
having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”
(2nd Peter 1:4)
.
Constant learning and hiding of the many Bible promises into our hearts is a critically important part of our daily walk in the Lord!
“WHEN HE HAS TRIED ME, I SHALL COME FORTH AS GOLD!”
Job 23:10
.
Listen to God’s merciful way of dealing with this sorrowful world…
…”It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed…
They are new every morning: great is Thy faithfulness…
But though He cause grief…
For He doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men…
Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.”
Lamentation 3:22, 32, 33, 40
.
God takes no pleasure in seeing anybody suffer. It grieves Him to the depths of His heart!
.
But He allows the often-tragic results of this world of sin and rebellion to become His gold-smelting shop, that He might eventually see His glorious Image perfectly reflected in His vessels of purified gold!
And God, being the Searcher of Hearts, sees how much we inherently love this present, selfish world.
.
And so, He must drive out our love for this evil world of sin, with all its earthy pleasures and proud, ambitious pursuits…
“If any man love the world,
the love of the Father is not in him.”
(read 1st John 2:15-17).
.
Thus, God begins a work in many souls, to drive out that innate earthly love.
.
This is why God allows suffering, sickness, and many sorrows to come upon us, even from birth to the grave.
.
And while it grieves the Lord greatly, to behold suffering, He knows that in the end, these things will purify our hearts, even as precious gold is purified!

Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Daily Devotional, Year 4 – March 8 (In Every Thing Give Thanks!?! Part 8: “Cancer, a Faith-building Experience?”)
Truly it can be said, we live in a “Cuttlefish World”.
.
Yes, like that incredible impostor, the cuttlefish, this cuttlefish world was changed into a seemingly benign and beneficent society to a great degree.
.
Oh yes, there has always been many underlying dangers and evils lurking out there!
Manson (according to the book, Helter-Skelter), believed the tensions between blacks and whites in the counter-cultural boiling pot of the 1960’s would erupt into a cataclysmic race-war that would end in the slaughter of nearly all white people.
.
He called this doomsday scenario “Helter Skelter.” This supposed Helter Skelter was Charles Manson’s doomsday fantasy, according to some.
“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
.
Well, so let’s fast-forward to this present day, as this world is witnessing the emergence of a new force…
.
…a dark force which, for all intents and purposes, seems to be carrying forward Charles Manson’s prophetic vision of an impending, “Helter Skelter” race-war.
.
.
.
.
.
.
And just what powerful entity is carrying forward the evil and terrifying vision of Charles Manson?
Yes, just like Charles Manson, the mainstream media of the United States appears to be instigating its own updated version of Manson’s pandemic race-war vision, but on a far grander scale!
.
Oh…you don’t believe it?
.
Just read the Internet news!
.
They are busily trumpeting stories, daily, designed to stoke the fires of hatred between various groups, even if they have to completely misstate the facts (which they are very willing and eager to do!)
.
.
.
.
.
RACIST-BASED SCHOOL-SYSTEMS
.
And even many public-school systems (and even TV cartoons), besides indoctrinating children into socialism/atheism/sodomy…
.
…are now beginning to teach various subjects all seen through the prism of supposed, “systemic racism”, thereby causing many students to distrust, even despise one-another, based solely on skin-color!
.
Ol’ Charlie M. could never accomplish such a herculean task like our present-day media and government are doing!
.
.
.
.
.
“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
.
Now, if the Reader is at all familiar with this website, they have no doubt read that the United States has become the long-ago prophesied, “False Prophet”, with “two horns like a lamb and speaks as a dragon” (Revelation 19:20 & 13:11).
.
How tragic and utterly sad that the very nation which God once blessed to be a safe-haven and refuge from the centuries of tyranny and oppression…
.
…had eventually also become a beast itself, the 2nd Beast of Revelation 13: The False Prophet.
.
Oh yes, maybe we’ve convinced ourselves that our motives are somehow righteously pure.
.
But Satan’s motives are never righteous! Nor are they ever pure!
.
And just like Satan used Charles Manson, he has likewise worked through much of the high-tech media and government to marshal countless followers to bring about a civil race-war!
.
.
.
.
.
“Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made”
Genesis 3:1
.
Well, no human can predict just how the future will unfold.
.
Perhaps the mainstream media, under the rulership of evil angels, will eventually turn their guns in a different direction.
.
As a matter of fact, the Bible prophesies that God’s faithful remnant-people will become the target of Satan’s supreme hatred in these last hours of world history.
.
And so, this impending race-war may never fully materialize.
.
But one thing is for certain! This False Prophet will continue to “speak as a dragon” and cause the whole world to bow down to the first beast, ultimately bowing down to “the god of this world”, Satan! (2nd Corinthians 4:4)
.
.
.
.
.
“…and the cities of the nations fell…”
Revelation 16:19
.
And even without a race war, the federal government, the major media, and Internet Goliaths are busily stoking the fires of societal destruction in other areas…
…areas such as mob violence…
…gender confusion, sexual immorality…
…drug legalization, out-of-control crime…
…national bankruptcy, socialism…
…unbrotherly hatred and division….
….And all this present-day anarchy and lawlessness may ultimately result in a corrupt, tyrannical, totalitarian police-state!
.
Compared to the gargantuan efforts of today’s mass-media and internet Goliaths, Charles Manson looked, by comparison, like the proverbial “flea on a camel’s back”!

Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Daily Devotional, Year 4 – August 8 (Cuttlefish & The False Prophet, Part 14: “And He Spake as a Dragon!” FURTHER CONTINUED “Our Helter Skelter Media!”)
If you look at the spider’s web, you can begin to realize it appears as a 3-dimensional tunnel.
.
And this so-called tunnel seems as if to deceive the poor little bugs, which unwittingly fly right into the awaiting spider’s trap, thinking they are flying through a tunnel.
.
And in the realm of humanity, there are many ideologies and religions which likewise appear to be a light at the end of the tunnel…
.
…and yet, they actually are Satan’s deadly trap, to imprison lost souls.
Perhaps the signature song of his band was the rather short tune, “Break on Through to the Other Side”.
.
This song which he composed was a musical tribute to Aldous Huxley’s Book, “The Doors of Perception”which is said to be a product of and tribute to the so-called enlightening powers of hallucinogenic drugs.
.
Yes, Huxley promised that the use of mescaline, etc., could open the doors of perception within a drug-user’s mind, thrusting him or her into a so-called, “higher realm of thought”.
Thus, it was Huxley’s book (“The Doors of Perception”), which became the brainchild for the formation of Morrison’s band, “The Doors”, as well as this band’s signature song, “Break On Through To The Other Side”.
But in Morrison’s short and tumultuous encounter with world-wide fame and fortune, his out-of-control misuse of alcohol and drugs resulted in his early demise, thrusting him into the exclusive, “27 Forever Club”.
.
Unfortunately for Morrison (plus Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and other out-of-control rockers who also died at the age of 27), he will definitely not be 27 years old forever!
.
No, but rather, Morrison will merely return to, “dust in the wind”, forever, just like every other human who goes to the grave unsaved!
And truth-be-told, Jim Morrison never really broke through to the “other side” (unless of course, one wishes to consider dying as “breaking through to the other side”).
.
Because, what promised to be a light at the end of the tunnel, leading to some sort of utopian realm of thought…
.
…Morrison’s drug/alcohol use only became his personal Hell, his prison cell…
.
…the prison cell of Satan’s spider-web of sin, which this selfish, antichrist-world-system is.
.
Yes, Morrison became a hopeless slave to alcohol and drugs!
.
.
.
.
.
.
SATAN’S SALESMEN
.
And even though Satan used these two men (Morrison and Huxley) to be spokesmen for his evil ideologies of hullucinogenics, as well as Huxley’s views on Atheism and Socialism…
.
…nevertheless, they unknowingly led multitudes of their followers into lives of the slavery and self-destruction resulting from these evil and deceptive pursuits.
.
.
.
.
.
BREAK ON THROUGH INTO EVERLASTING LIFE AND ENDLESS JOY!
.
But there is Good News from a far country!
.
Yes, in spite of the futility of that sad ideology named, “The Doors of Perception”, there does actually exist the opportunity a person to “Break on Through to The Other Side”.
.
You see, the Lord Jesus, The Son of God, provided a way of escape from this hopeless and tragic world of self-destruction and death!
.
That’s right! If a needy soul desires to “break on through”, he or she can cry out to God for Salvation…
.
…in which a truly higher realm of faith and love can be achieved…
.
…in which a highway leading out of this sad world will appear in the Believer’s mind’s eye…
.
And every enslaved soul can break free of their captivity to sin and selfishness!
.
And not only can we become liberated from every form of enslaving addiction, but we can escape the same fate which Morrison and Huxley eventually suffered: eternal death!
.
Listen to the Bible…
“For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth:
and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create…
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes;
and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying,
neither shall there be any more pain:
for the former things are passed away.”
Isaiah 65:17, 18 & Revelation 21:4
.
Yes, in this joy-filled land, we can live happily ever-after.
.
And we will never perish, but will be forever young!

But the really sad part about all of this is, that we humans have become so callous, blunted, and insensitive to sin that we so often just shrug it off!
.
And in just a moment, we return to our laughing and joking, and mundane chatter, quickly forgetting about these human tragedies in a moment’s time!
.
Yes, living in the midst of this tragic world, our self-absorbed focus silently speaks volumes as we go about our self-seeking ways while tragedy, terror, and human suffering go on all around us!
But things are only going to get continually worse!
.
Yes, the Bible even prophesies that conditions are going to get so horrible that seemingly good and moral women will be engaging in cannibalism their own children, if you can believe that!
Listen…“Shall the women eat their fruit,
and children of a span long?”…
“The tender and delicate woman…
shall eat them [her children]…”
(see Lamentations 2:20 & Deuteronomy 28:57)
.
After all, if God doesn’t allow evil to come into its fulness, we would never really understand just how horrible this world actually is!
Well, the Good News is, that God has provided a way of escape out of this horrible and tragic situation!
.
Yes, the Door of Salvation is still open to one and all!
.
And the invitation yet goes out to any and every man, woman, and child!
.
All those who are sick and tired of living in this filthy world, are welcomed, yes, encouraged, to renounce this kingdom of evil, and join the end-time exodus now going on.
.
.
.
.
.
.
“Unto a land flowing with milk and honey”
Exodus 33:3
.
And soon, very soon, this present earth will pass away with a great noise!
.
But all those who do join this end-time exodus will instead be translated into the long-awaited Promised Land…
.
…a land flowing with milk and honey, in which…
“…there shall be no more death,
neither sorrow,
nor crying,
neither shall there be any more pain:
for the former things are passed away.”
Revelation 21:4
.

“Whereby the world…is reserved unto fire against…ungodly men.”
2nd Peter 3:7
.
Of course, the Bible also reveals that the flood of Noah’s day was and is a fitting sign and precursor of the soon-coming Day of fiery Judgment…
“Whereby the world that then was,
being overflowed with water, perished:
is reserved unto fire against the day of judgment
and perdition of ungodly men.”
2nd Peter 3:7
.
And so, considering this above prophecy by the God of Peter, it is more than just a little ironic that the gay community would ever want anything to do with the rainbow as their symbol!
But since the early days of Gay Rainbows, the gay community has now changed from original 6 and 8 colors, to 9-colors, and then to 10-colors, and even 11-colors!
.
And so, it’s not surprising that this Babylon-world-system has decided to change their Gay-Rainbow to 9-colors, then to 10-colors, etc…
.
So confusing!
.
But mankind’s changeable and fickle ways, only make God’s 7-colored rainbow that much more glorious!
Since the early days of Gay Rainbows, the gay community has now changed from original 6 and 8 colors, to 9-colors, and then to 10-colors, and now even 11-colors!
.
And so, it’s not surprising that this very confusing Babylon-world-system has decided to change their Gay-Rainbow to 9-colors, then to 10-colors, etc…
.
So confusing!
.
But mankind’s changeable and fickle ways, only make God’s 7-colored rainbow that much more glorious!
Yes, all the sinful/selfish lifestyles of this world will only ultimately bring anger, sorrow, hate, unrest, sickness, suffering, regret, suicidal-thoughts, and ultimately eternal-death!
.
Nevertheless, the Heavenly City of Zion which awaits us is a goodly land in which,
“God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes;
and there shall be no more death,
neither sorrow, nor crying,
neither shall there be any more pain:
for the former things are passed away.”
Revelation 21:4
.
And in that joyous land, we will live forever, forever happy, and forever young!

TODAY’S PRAYER…
“Dear Lord, Help me to be wise as a serpent concerning the power and influence of this antichrist society. Spare me and my loved ones from all the lies and deceit and indoctrination now prevailing in the current-day world…
Now if you will stay up all night, you will see that the tables turn very dramatically for our three warriors.
.
This is because, as night progresses, and this constellation group moves to the west, God has designed this threesome to now be in the opposite circumstance.
.
Now it is Orion and his Horse who are atop the Dragon.
.
Now Orion is about to cut off the Dragon’s head with his two-edged sword, while the Horse is stomping on his tail.
.
And of course, there needs to be no explanation, because this picture tells the whole story.
.
Jesus wins in the end!
.
God’s people are victorious at last!
.
No wonder the Bible calls this story…“The Good News”!

Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Daily Devotional, Year 4 – March 3 (Sodom Rising? Part 17 “Which Rainbow Will You Cling To?”)
“Dear Lord, Help me to see and understand the great deception, which is the Planet Earth! Help me study Thy Word that I may become wise as a serpent, but harmless as a dove…
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).
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 theDragon 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”.)

Yes, nature testifies to the majesty & grandeur, to the law & order, to the love and poetry of our great and awesome God!
.
But God has also inscribed wisdom, divine wisdom, in all of nature.
.
Yes, the Gospel of Jesus Christ is inscribed in all, from the tiniest atomic particle to the greatest galaxy, and even beyond: God’s wisdom can be discovered in all the universe!
One great clue that if the Sun would correspond to the First Commandment, “You shall have no other gods before Me”…
.
…that fact is, the names which Mankind has given to the planets, all named after pagan gods: Saturn, Mars, Jupiter, etc… are all names of ancient pagan deities.
.
Then begin to relate the Sun corresponding to the first Commandment… “You shall have no other gods before Me”, which just so happens to be surrounded by planets named after pagan gods!
.
It would seem that God has allowed Mankind (under the influence of “the god of this world“, of course) to name these planets after pagan gods, in order to make a very poignant statement…
.
…that statement being, that we citizens of this planet are in rebellion against God, therefore, we have other gods.
.
So, God has set up this solar system to present this concept (and other concepts too) of the Sun (Christ) being surrounded by our many other gods (i.e., the 9 planets, named after pagan gods).

Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Daily Devotional, Year 4 – April 5 (The Light of the World! Part 2)
Of course, the very first passage which comes to mind is the 6th Commandment…”Thou shalt not kill.” Exodus 20:13
.
And Jesus, during His earthly sojourn, said it this way…”Thou shalt do no murder.” Matthew 19:18
.
The problem is, many people have somehow convinced themselves that this commandment doesn’t apply to unborn children. “It’s just a hunk of flesh”, they disingenuously proclaim.
.
But the Bible reveals that this so-called, “hunk of flesh” is actually a child!
.
After all, in Genesis 38:24, a young lady named Tamar, was said to be, “with child”, only three months after conception.
Listen to this next passage from Luke’s Gospel concerning two babies in their two mothers’ wombs…
…”For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy (Mary’s) salutation,
sounded in mine (Mary’s cousin, Elizabeth) ears,
the babe (John the Baptist) leaped in my womb for joy.”
Luke 1:44
.
Here was the young virgin, Mary, going to her cousin Elisabeth’s home, just days after she was told that she was with child, the baby Jesus.
.
And Elisabeth (who was six months along with her own baby, John the Baptist), exclaimed to Mary that she felt John leap in her (Elisabeth’s) womb for joy because Jesus had entered the home of Elisabeth.
.
So now it is established that Jesus, although newly conceived, was already a living soul within Mary’s womb.
.
And John, six months along in his mother’s womb, was able to think, reason, and even to leap for joy because the Holy Spirit informed him that the Savior of the world was in the house.
.
And so, this passage should dispel the popular notion that a newly conceived child is merely “a hunk of flesh”, as many abortion advocates would have us to believe.
.
Yes, Mary was probably only a few weeks with child, and yet Jesus was very present.
.
But also, being only six months in Elisabeth’s womb, John’s actions prove that a child in the womb is able to think and even experience joy!
“…neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure”
1st Timothy 5:22
.
Those Christians who support political parties and/or candidates who will vote for abortion, may indeed share in the guilt of murder, when standing before the Judge.
.
Yes, just like David, when he allowed his second-in-command to murder Uriah, an innocent man, God charged David with murder, just as if he had physically committed that heinous deed!
.
So also, whether it be a political party, or even a church which commissions abortions, the Christian who knowingly supports such organizations should really consider if he or she is sharing in the murder of innocent little children.
.
.
.
.
.
.
“Hands That Shed Innocent Blood”
Proverbs 6:17
.
And so, from these passages it is clear that God has given enough information in the Bible for all truth-seekers to realize that abortion is indeed, murder.
.
And yet, God has supplied those who are dishonest in heart, with enough “pegs to hang their doubts upon”.
.
But really, the people of the world all realize that abortion prevents that child from entering the world. And deep down they realize what abortion is: dirty rotten murder!
Nevertheless, for those who have already committed this heinous sin, there is hope!
.
Yes, even the great Apostle, Paul, was guilty of murder, prior to his conversion. And God forgave him.
.
And King David was likewise a murder, and yet, God forgave him as well.
.
And so, those who have committed the grievous sin of killing that life in their womb can come to Jesus and plead for His forgiveness just like David did. (read Psalm 51).

TODAY’S 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 7/10 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).

Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Today’s Devotional, Year 4 – February 4th (Come Out of Her, My People! Part 60: “Remember the 6th Commandment Too!”)
Now, back in the 1960’s, a whacky, escapism comedy was created and became a big hit movie on the “silver screens” around the world…“It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World!”
.
And in this respect, that “feel-good” Hollywood movie makes a somewhat appropriate introduction to today’s devotional.
.
Yes, you could not only say, it’s a “Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World”, but you might even say, it’s a “Gad, Gad, Gad, Gad World!”
But “the god of this world” doesn’t care if we go to our graves with the reputation of being a hard worker!
.
No, as a matter of fact, such morality only gives his antichrist world-system a nice shiny outward veneer!
.

.
“Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way?”
Jeremiah 2:36
.
Unfortunately, most humans neglect that one critically important work and do EVERY OTHER THING, thus causing their entire life to be built on a sandy foundation!
.
Oh yes, we may have the reputation of being a “workaholic”.
.
But in reality, most of the time, our work ethics are merely the product of the antichrist spirit which dwells in us.
.
Yes, that hard worker, Lucifer, makes very sure that we do every other work but the right work!
.
And just what is “the right work”?
.
The right work is the purification of our heart and encouraging those we love out of this self-seeking world and upward and onward to the Celestial City of God!
Well, the Good News is, that today is still the day of Salvation!
.
And we can continually beg the Lord to put it into our hearts to joyfully and prayerfully read the Bible each day in hopes of finding more and more about Jesus.
.
And then, by the grace of God in answer to our unceasing pleas, we can finally spend our remaining days keeping our wonderful Savior before us in our mind’s eye.
.
And we can devote the rest of our lives in praying for and joyfully encouraging others to join the current-day end-time exodus out of this doomed, “City of Destruction”: Planet Earth.
.
And then, with these entirely new motives, we can enthusiastically go about our daily labor, with hearts afire for Jesus, and minds focused upon His wonderful Word!
Listen to the following revelation concerning the evil which exists within the hearts of men…
“For from within, out of the heart of men,
proceed evil thoughts, adulteries…
covetousness, wickedness… AN EVIL EYE,
blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
All these evil things come from within,
and defile the man.”
Mark 7:18-23
.
Please tilt your head slightly to the left.
.
Do you see a man with a very long pointed nose?(Obviously, the sketch to the right is just an exaggeration in order to help you find the face in the photo to the left.)
.
Do you see an angry look? His right eyebrow is raised as if he is judging.
.
This second face in the Moon appears to be that of a combination of a man as well as a fox.
.
Or maybe a wolf.
.
Doesn’t he have a long narrow nose like a wolf or fox?
.
Maybe even a dog.
.
Nevertheless, the expression on his face, as he appears to look down upon the Earth, is that of scorn.

Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Daily Devotional, Year 4 – March 2 (The Devil Made Me Do It! Part 22: “It’s A Gad, Gad, Gad, Gad World!”)
“…because they received not the love of the truth…
God shall send them strong delusion,
that they should believe a lie:
That they all might be damned
who believed not the truth,
but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”
2nd Thessalonians 2:10-12
.
.
.
.
There is a preacher who regularly goes to college campuses to share the Gospel and make sense with students.
.
And the YouTube videos are amazing to watch partly because today’s college educated young people have so been so thoroughly indoctrinated into atheism, that it is next to impossible to make sense with them.
.
Nevertheless, this preacher uses his nearly five decades of experience to make his extremely powerful case for the existence of God and the Gospel of Jesus.
.
Now, one of the most popular arguments against the God of the Bible is that “Why would a good God ever endorse slavery as frequently found in the Christian Bible?”
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
“…because they received not the love of the truth…God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:”
.
What most people do not realize is the supernatural nature of the Bible.
.
It has been purposely written to either save or condemn!
.
And so, God has written the Bible in such a way, that it reveals to each person whatever is the ruling force within each particular individual.
.
Listen to David…“With the merciful Thou wilt show Thyself merciful;
with an upright man Thou wilt show Thyself upright;
With the pure Thou wilt show Thyself pure;
and with the froward Thou wilt show Thyself froward.”
Psalm 18:25, 26.
.
As this above passage reveals, the Bible will be interpreted rightly by those whose heart is right, but wrongly by those whose heart is NOT right.
And the issue of slavery is one of those Bible topics which critics love to use as an argument against the God of the Bible. Yet, these critics do not realize that they have been deceived.
.
First, Bible scholars point out that slavery, back in those days, was often used as a means of paying back debts or securing employment food and housing.
.
Second, the whole Bible is anti-slavery, beginning with Exodus and the freeing of the Hebrews from 400 years of Egyptian captivity in which they were forced to build the pyramids and other structures.
.
Third, the Bible gives advice to servants and masters, which is designed to translate into practical advice to Christian employees and employers.
.
Finally, the Bible speaks of Christians as follows1Co_7:22 For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord’s freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ’s servant.
.
And, as far as God’s advice to Christians who are actual slaves, the following verse applies…1Co_7:21 Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
THE CARNALLY-MINDED
.
No, listen to Paul as he explains the core of the problem here…
…”But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God:
for they are foolishness unto him:
neither can he know them,
because they are spiritually discerned.”
1st Corinthians 2:13, 14
.
As this above verse reveals, there are many who are yet carnally-minded, and to a great extent, desire to believe that spiritual interpretations are foolishness.
“Dear Lord, Give me of Thy Holy Spirit, as I give Thee my entire life! Let me not be deceived by a false spirit. But bring me up the narrow pathway of truth…
“In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword
shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent,
even leviathan that crooked serpent;
and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.”
Isaiah 27:1

Now obviously, it is difficult to totally avoid every worldly pleasure, especially for those who have family obligations.
.
And a certain amount of the more innocent pleasures and pursuits are possibly necessary for the unsaved family members.
.
And much patience and prayer for great wisdom is required in such cases.
.
But there must be a constant and on-going repentance in the life of every Believer, knowing that Satan is going to try to pull us fully back into the world.

SOLIDIFIED CHURCHES
.
But today’s devotional is more concerned with church organizations.
.
In other words, the churches no longer strive to…
“all come…unto a perfect man,
unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:”
To a great degree, the church-world is content to be a collection of individual social/fraternal organizations with certain degree of religiosity.
.
Oh yes, the more benign and non-threatening verses of the Bible are being preached each week.
.
But either by word and/or by example, the leaders of the church are maintaining a quasi-Christian environment, not wanting to lose the more world-loving parishioners.
.
And the problem with this is, such a low-grade of piety influences both the young and old parishioners who might otherwise seek to “walk even as He (Christ) walked”. 1st John 2:6
.
.
.
.
.
.
CHURCH-WIDE APOSTASY FORETOLD
.
The Apostle, Paul, warned that this day would come…
…”For the time will come
when they will not endure sound doctrine;
but after their own lusts
shall they heap to themselves teachers,
having itching ears…”
2nd Timothy 4:3, 4 (Condensed)
.
Yes, this above verse is speaking of today’s church-world which has become like a pillar of salt and cannot flee to the Mountain (which symbolizes the fulness of Christ).
“Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul…”
Jeremiah 51:6
.
Now the Good News in this very sad report is, that God only wanted us to continue in these organizations, fellowshipping until the day in which we were commanded to flee!
.
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
.
Yes, the world has surrounded God’s people to the point that “wrong judgment proceeds” from the various church organizations and radio stations, as it says in Habakkuk 1:4
.
And when the vision begins to speak, then it is time for God’s true worshipers to, “RUN!”, as Habakkuk warns. (read such articles as the little series, “Habakkuk says ‘Run!‘”)
It is now time for God’s true worshipers to vacate these pillar-of-salt organizations.
.
But God has provided heavenly bread and spiritual waters of grace, “upon every high mountain and every high hill in the day when the towers fall” Isaiah 30:25
.
Yes, there is an abundant supply of heavenly bread and copious draughts of spiritual waters of grace upon those spiritual mountains in this day when the towers (churches) are fallen!

TODAY’S HEAVENLY SIGN
.
.
.
.
TWO TURTLE-DOVES CONSTELLATION
LOCATING THIS CONSTELLATION
.
This constellation appears in early spring in the south.
.
It moves from east to west during the night and slowly moves to the western horizon by fall.
.
It is commonly known as Sagittarius. (The three stars at the top of the 2nd Turtle-dove are not shown in some Sagittarius Star-charts, but are in others.)
Okay, so those 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 open-minded, truth-seeking Bereans were ready and even eager to receive new teachings, which no doubt, conflicted with the supposed, “orthodox” teachings of that day!
Ellen White pin-pointed the Revelation 13 “False Prophet” as being Satan rising within the United States of America.
.
And this 2nd Beast caused the world to bow down to the 1st Beast of Revelation 13 which was the apostate Church of Rome working in the churches of Europe.
.
Harold Camping on the other hand pin-pointed the “False Prophet” as being Satan as he came as an “angel of light” to deceive the world…
.
…and deceive the churches through his so-called, “ministers of righteousness”. (see 2nd Corinthians 11:14, 15)
.
And in a sense, both Camping and White are correct.
.
In other words, the correct answer is, “All of the above”.
Yes, Satan’s “False Prophet” is indeed the antichrist spirit which originally rose up in the New World…
.
…but is spreading his deadly tentacles around the globe via the fallen apostate churches.
.
And one of the great evidences of this miracle-working spirit is the many counterfeit miracles which the fallen churches are performing.
.
And perhaps the greatest evidence that these signs and wonders are merely counterfeits is the fact that the church-world has become increasingly apostate.
Unfortunately, most faithful churchgoers are still conformed to the qualities of this world and have little desire to become totally renewed into the image of Christ.
.
After all, why would they ever want to become fully converted and fully Christlike?
.
That would require them to forsake all.
.
And they have no desire to forsake all, becoming Christlike.
.
But the False Prophet comes to them, giving them prophetic-like dreams and other lying signs and wonders to deceive them into their false sense of security.
“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…

Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Daily Devotional, Year 4: February 25 (Noble Bereans, Part 52: “Dead People Speaking!?” CONTINUED)
“LORD, LORD, HAVE WE NOT…DONE MANY WONDERFUL WORKS?”
Matthew 7:22
.
Now of course, many will be quick to point to all the humanitarianism now occurring in the world, saying, “How can the world be considered selfish, when we engage in so many charitable deeds?”
.
So, what about this?
.
Is it an unfair charge to make against this world, that we are selfish by nature, when we see so many charitable acts of kindness?
And so, if this is Mankind’s self-loving condition, then merely, “having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof”, is just a clever deception!
.
A total fraud!
.
A giant satanic global ruse to give this wicked world a glossy outward sheen!
.
After all, with all these other sinful traits, can we actually believe that fallen humanity is capable of true godliness…without the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit?
When we get right down to it, it is this counterfeit godliness only confuses most humans of just how evil this sad world really is.
.
Thus, Satan has created this counterfeit humanitarianism is an integral part of his deceptive role as “The False Prophet” of Revelation 13 & 17.
.
Yes, the False Prophet is actually the spiritual entity which now works in the children of men to deceive us into believing that there is a great force for good, apart from Jesus Christ.
.
And that is simply not possible!
.
ABOVE PICTURE: Satan, The False Prophet who offers a world-loving gospel
.
.
.
.
.
“THAT GOD MIGHT MANIFEST THEM…THAT THEY MIGHT SEE THAT THEY THEMSELVES ARE BEASTS!”
Ecclesiastes 3:18
.
But God is allowing all this to play itself out on the world-stage, so that it will ultimately be seen that there was never any true goodness in this world apart from Christ.
.
Yes, it is only Christ’s goodness, as He worked through His true worshipers, even as it is written…
So, if a person goes out at night, beginning in April (earlier in southern-most latitudes, and later in northern-most), in the pre-dawn hour, they just might locate the constellation commonly referred to as the Sagittarius Constellation .
.
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 (for instance, “the seven stars are the angels…” Revelation 1:20).
.
To the right is a star-chart from Wikipedia, in which the editor of this site has sketched in this Sagittarius Constellation, to show how God created it to appear.

WOW! It’s hard to be optimistic when the world seems to be spiraling out of control!
.
Yes, this world seems to be going helter-skelter!
.
In the world of politics, the pure venomous hatred between the opposing ideologies has reached a boiling-over point!
.
The mass media news has devolved into little more than yellow journalism, when it comes to anything even vaguely related to politics and social issues.
.
Rogue religions attempting to force themselves upon the world, under the threat of physical violence.
.
Schools increasingly transforming into indoctrination centers for anti-biblical ideologies…
…socialism, evolutionary atheism…
…and now even pushing perverted lifestyles on the students, as though they are normal, even good!
.
The United States justice system is filled with socially/politically activist judges, being weaponized to destroy the enemies of the state.
.
Government leaders committing financial suicide, as the national debt continues to climb out of control!
.
Various ethnic/religious groups becoming increasingly intolerant and disdainful of each other, now increasingly fixated with the insane obsession over skin-color!
.
Colleges becoming increasingly intolerant of any speech which opposes the dominant false ideologies.
.
Censorship by the Internet ‘Goliaths’ is sending many websites into the cyber-abyss because they are not “politically correct” in what they advocate.
.
The number of sick persons around the world is greatly increasing.
.
People becoming increasingly intolerant of each other for social, personal, ethnic, and religious reasons.
.
Various churches and denominations now preaching prosperity-driven gospels, sometimes referred to as, “The Name-It-And-Claim-It Gospel” or even the “Entrepreneurial Spirit”.
.
Oh yes, these prosperity ideologies may be fine for the people of the world to pursue, but the Christian’s great focus and chief desire is now to be Heavenward, seeking to be transformed into the image of Christ.
.
And the list goes on and on of how this world is falling apart.
But really, to understand all this global failure, we need to realize that this world was originally just an experiment in selfishness.
.
That’s right, Lucifer, being one of the chief angels of Heaven, thought he had discovered a better way than God’s government of “unselfish love”.
.
And in His infinite wisdom, God allowed Lucifer to bring his rebellion down to this little planet, to show the universe what a terrible ideology Lucifer was trying to peddle: selfishness!
.
And so, this world has been allowed to continue on for the millenniums it has existed until this very day in which everything all around us seems to be failing.
And God knew all along that this world was destined for failure.
.
But God couldn’t convince us, unless He allowed us to suffer through this experiment in selfishness (And let’s face it! That’s all that sin really is: selfishness!)
.
But if He didn’t show us up close and first-hand, we could never have comprehended just how evil that our selfishness really is!
So, what importance to us is all this information?
.
Well, if a person goes out at night, beginning in April (earlier in southern-most latitudes, and later in northern-most), in the pre-dawn hour, they just might locate the constellation commonly referred to as the Sagittarius Constellation .
.
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.)
.

.
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.
.

Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Daily Devotional, Year 4 – February 22 (And The Nations Were Angry! Part 4: “Planet Earth, An Experiment In Selfishness)
In the years following the establishment of the New Testament Church, many Christians were forced to pinch off a tiny amount of incense and sprinkle it on a small altar dedicated to the queen of Heaven.
.
If an individual refused, he or she suffered a cruel death in the Roman arena.
But today, Satan is much more sophisticated in his assault against Christians!
.
Right under our noses, “the god of this world” is now implementing unjust laws and economic strategies…
.
…which will test each and every church, ministry, and individual regarding “who do I truly serve and worship?”
.
.
.
.
.
“NO MAN MIGHT BUY OR SELL”
.
One such stratagem appears to be the age-old practice of “killing the messenger”.
.
In other words, as the old saying goes, “If you can’t kill the message, then kill the messenger!”
.
.
.
.
.
“A KINGDOM DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF…CANNOT STAND”
Mark 3:24
.
Just look at the world of politics.
.
You don’t have to wait too long before you behold some political figure becoming the victim of what is commonly referred to as, “character assassination”.
.
No, the world of politics has devolved into an increasingly toxic environment.
.
The hatred between the two dominant “horns” of political power is becoming so fiercely venomous that it is frightening to behold!
.
And don’t imagine for a moment that such cruel hate won’t be turned against Christians in the near future!
.
ABOVE PICTURE: Mark of the beast – pub. dom. – Wikipedia

.
.
“GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISES”
2nd Peter 1:4
.
Well, the Good News is, that we have many “great and precious promises” with which to cling to in the coming months… “Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.” 1st John 3:13
.
Or how about this…
…”For I have heard the slander of many:
fear was on every side:
while they took counsel together against me,
they devised to take away my life.
But I trusted in thee, O LORD:
I said, Thou art my God.
My times are in Thy hand:
deliver me from the hand of mine enemies”
Psalm 31:13-15
.
Yes, the Bible is literally teeming with such passages designed to comfort and strengthen the hearts of God’s people during the coming conflict.
The star-charts below (below, right) are from Wikipedia and are combined into one chart to show these three constellations, which the editor has sketched over with these three constellations, as they appear when in the west.
.
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 Ariesand 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 CetusConstellation.
.
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 .
Whether we know it or not, or like it or not, we Christians must face the awful truth that we are the current residents of this, Lucifer’s kingdom of sin and selfishness! (see 2nd Corinthians 4:4)
.
But God has placed us here as a type of, “training and learning school”, for the purpose of purifying our hearts from every trace of love for selfishness, pride, or from any other sinful attraction this world produces!
But the Bible prophesied that the hour would come when God’s people are to flee to the mountains, much the same as Lot fled to the mountain from that doomed city, Sodom.
.
Unfortunately, we live in a day when it is no longer legal to merely set up some mountainous camp like Abraham and later, his nephew, Lot.
But Satan is now flooding this society with pornography like never before in history!
.
With the advent of Internet, it is possible for anyone, young and old alike, to simply click a button and view the most heinous images imaginable!
.
And if that’s not bad enough, just taking children through one of the big box stores becomes Satan’s means of sexually grooming them, via all the explicit signage in the clothing and video isles!
.
Or turn on just about any FM radio station, and sensual music can be heard by children and adults alike!
Our only hope is to flee into God’s “mountain of His holiness”! Psalm 48:1
.
That’s the only safe refuge and mountainous stronghold available to today’s Christian.
.

“THOU ART MY HIDING PLACE!”
Psalm 32:7
.
So, how are we to accomplish such a thing?
.
Well, this heavenly Sion can only be climbed by those whom the Lord allows to climb.
And so, this end-time exodus begins with fervent pleading for mercy and grace by the Believer.
.
Listen…“Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth,
which have wrought His judgment;
seek righteousness, seek meekness:
it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD’S anger.”
Zephaniah 2:3
.
Here we have the solution, not only for us, but also for our well-prayed-for family members.
.
We must make it up that mountain our own selves, if we ever expect or hope for our family to follow along also!
“Dear Lord, Give me spiritual insight, that I might see the true battle! Help me put on my heavenly armor, that I might be a properly fitted soldier in the Lord’s army…

Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Daily Devotional, Year 4: February 20 (We Wrestle Not Against Flesh & Blood! Part 6, “Satan’s Psychological War Against Our Children!” CONTINUED)
There’s a whole lot of finger-pointing going on these days, wouldn’t you agree?
.
Well, today’s devotional is still attempting to further bring out this concept, that at whatever point we judge another, we are guilty of the same.
.
Listen again…“Therefore thou art inexcusable,
O man, whosoever thou art that judgest:
for wherein thou judgest another,
thou condemnest thyself;
for thou that judgest doest the same things.”
Romans 2:1
.
Yes, the Bible forewarns us that when we point the accusing finger at someone else, there are three fingers pointing back at us: THREE FINGERS FROM HEAVEN!
For those of us so-called Christians who have foolishly allowed ourselves to become entranced with, and captive to the daily political wranglings, via Television, Internet, and radio…
.
…we have unwittingly allowed this “Prince of the Power of the Air” to fill our hearts with his poisonous venom which he spews out on a 24/7/365 basis!
.
But the Bible warns us…“Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.” 1st Corinthians 15:33
.
Yes, when we allow our soul-temple to be defiled with “evil communications”, it pollutes our heart and mind and impacts our speech and conduct in everyday matters!
.
Thus, our lackadaisical indiscretion results in our unchristlikeness and makes us unable to “Purify [ourselves] even as He (Christ) is pure“, nor to“walk even as He (Jesus) walked” (See 1st John 2:6 & 3:3)
.
.
.
.
.
SATAN STEALS OUR PERFECT PEACE
.
One great problem with listening to Satan’s whisperings, is that this is how this “Accuser of our brethren” gains access into our hearts and minds (see Revelation 12:10).
.
And once we allow him access, he often begins to torment us with all sorts of “evil surmisings” about the motives of the hearts of others. (1st Timothy 6:4)
.
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
.
Yes, to guard the avenues to the soul, not allowing Satan any access, is our first and foremost duty!
You see, God has inscribed three faces in the Moon, and this first face is that of a man (picture right).
.
The other two faces are that of animals: beasts, if you will.
.
And while one of the other two faces is that of a fierce predator, and the other, a forest forager, this 1st face (picture right) is of a very sympathetic-looking human, even just a bit sad, and even just a bit more horror-stricken.
And yet with a dropped-jaw expression, he looks rather shocked!
.
But who wouldn’t be shocked, looking down on this tragic and horrible and selfish world!
.
After all, just think of all that this Watchman sees in the night!
.
Murders and beatings, kidnappings and slave-tradings, drugs and alcohol dependencies, inhumanity and indifferent unsympathetic disregard, racism and bigotry, lust and perversions, thefts and hoarding, imprisonment and torture, sickness and suffering, destruction and death!
And concerning this world’s phony love, society has a crude comparison they use regarding any type of phoniness’, “It’s as phony as a 3-dollar bill!”
.
“What!?”, most people will exclaim, “Are you trying to tell me that all the love and humanitarian goodness in society is the product of Satan!?”
.
Well, that’s what the Bible says…“And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.” 1st John 5:19
.
Yes, the “WHOLE world lieth in wickedness”, not just some!
.

.
.
.
.
.
“IN ME…DWELLS NO GOOD THING”
Romans 7:18
.
And though it seems as if there is some level of love apart from God, much of it is merely the product of the Antichrist spirit which rules over and even indwells the citizens of this, their Luciferian world!
.
Therefore, without God’s indwelling Spirit, all the counterfeit love and compassion of this world is destined to fail!
.
Because very soon, God’s people will witness just how deceived we really were!
.
And “the day will declare it!” (1st Corinthians 3:13)
So, what we need to understand is that “the god of this world”, Lucifer, must cover up the true nature of evil which makes up his kingdom of this world.
.
Therefore, as a means of deceiving the world he has raised up this relatively new phenomenon of humanitarianism, making us think that “Oh, we don’t really need God’s love! We have our own love and compassion!”
.
And just listen to the radio and television! Humanitarian advertisements fill the airways in this current world!
.
It seems that society has gone wild for humanitarianism!
Well, in spite of this very bad news, there is some really Good News!
.
Yes, there is a way of escape from this totally evil condition in this entirely wicked and selfish world we live in!
.
Yes, there is a fountain in which, if a man, woman, or child drinks freely from, that soul can become filled with true love and true goodness!
.
And God is the only source of true love!
.
And so, let’s not wait until that dreadful day to find out the truth; but let’s right now become “wise as serpents, and harmless as doves”, as we begin our heavenward sojourn out of this deceptively evil world! (see Matthew 10:16)
“Dear Lord, Help me to be wise as a serpent regarding this very deceptive world. Let me not be ignorant of Satan’s devices, nor of his power over this world…
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 7/10 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).
And each of its three faces were purposely inscribed by God to teach us about our own self.
.
3rd Face in Moon-scavenger-www.signsofheaven.org
.
.
.
.
.
“BEWARE OF DOGS, BEWARE OF EVIL WORKERS, BEWARE OF THE CONCISION!”
Philippians 3:2
.
Take for instance the second face: the wolf, or perhaps a fox, or a dog.
.
This wolf-like face with one raised, judgmental eyebrow, gives us a fitting portrait of a scornful, judgmental human.
.
And it reminds us of the Old Testament sect, known as The Pharisees, or “Dogs…the Concision”. Philippians 3:2
.
Yes, those Pharisees were a very judgmental group, who took pride that they were very moral and upright, and looked down upon others whom they supposed were not so morally upright.

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY”
Proverbs 25:25
.
The Good News is, that this is still the Day of Salvation!
.
And God is giving us just enough time to repent of this horrible crime against Heaven.
.
And God will sit as a purifier of our hearts, and remove all Pharisaic pride, if we will just cry out to Him for mercy.
.
But just one tidbit of advice which will be a benefit for each of us: whenever we catch ourselves judging another individual, for Heaven’s sake, simply begin praying for God’s blessing on that dear soul, for whom Christ also bled & died!
