Daily Devotional, Year 4 – October 28

.

And He Spake as a Dragon!

.

Part 5 “Why is the Dragon Constellation so hard to see?”

To read Part 1, click here…October 1 (And He Spake as a Dragon! Part 1: “Internet: The Ultimate Great Tribulation Weapon!”)

.

Why didn’t God just make the “Signs of Heaven” so plain to see that most anyone could find them? (Actually, there are several, such as Orion and The 7-Stars, which are very easy to see!

.

But most of these signs take some effort to discern.

.

Well, it would be nice to have some human point them out to us.

.

One Constellation which presents some difficulty to fully see is The Revelation 12 Dragon.

.

Well, the mouth and jaws are very easy to see (Hyades), and the tail-tassel (Pleiades) is also easy to see.

.

And if one goes out on a dark and starry night, the first thing to do is to locate those two constellations (Hyades & Pleiades), which will make it easier to connect the long, coiled serpentine body which winds around and connects these two constellations.

.

And yet, it takes some effort to fully discern that coiled body.

.

But there are reasons why God made this Revelation 12 Dragon Constellation in this manner.

.

First of all, the mouth and jaws and teeth of this constellation represent Satan’s ferocious nature, as evidence by the evil all around us and all around the earth!

.

It doesn’t take very long to see evil and the results of evil.

.

Evil and its long train of sorrow & tragedy is literally everywhere we look!

.

And so, why in Heaven’s name, would not the mouth, jaws, and teeth, be easy to see?!

.

Yes, it only makes sense that the mouth, jaws, and teeth of the dragon constellation would be easy to locate!

.

And they are! They are commonly known as the Hyades Constellation.

.

Now, upon closer examination, the tail-tassel (Pleiades) represents a woman and actually can be seen as two women: the Church-apostate and the Church-faithful.

.

Yes, this constellation can be seen as a harlot with a wine-cup.

.

But looking at again, one might see it as a long-haired woman with angel-wings.

.

This woman represents the church-in-Babylonian-captivity.

.

And likewise, it’s not too difficult to see the Church of God in her apostate condition.

.

Hence, these women are the tail-tassel of the Dragon.

.

But the hard part is to discern the long, coiled body of the Dragon.

.

Yes, the hard part is to discern the long, coiled body of the Dragon.

.

But why would God make this part of the Dragon so hard to see? Well, a very common proverb is the following: “The Devil’s greatest trick was to make people think he doesn’t exist!”

.

One study found that while a large portion of humanity believes that God exists.

.

But only one-percent of those questioned actually believe there is a literal Devil!

.

Pretty amazing, would you say?

.

**And so, it only makes sense that this Revelation-12-Dragon-Constellation’s long serpentine body is difficult to discern!**

.

But this is a very good case-study for the other Signs-of-Heaven.

.

Because God purposely designed every one of these constellations in such a way that brings out various Bible truths concerning each sign.

.

TODAY’S PRAYER…

“Dear Lord, Help me to not be fooled by this very deceptive, antichrist world-system…

.

THE END

.

TODAY’S HEAVENLY SIGN

.

THE DRAGON OF REVELATION 12 CONSTELLATION.

.

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 Aries and 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 Cetus Constellation.**

.

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 .

.

TOMORROW…

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – October 23

.

A 3-Fingered Judgment-Day,

.

Part 17:

“Crocodile Tears of the “Cry-Bullies”

To read Part 1, click here…January 20th (A 3-Finger Judgment-Day)

.

“Crocodile tears are a type of venomous venom

produced by the crocodile.

They are produced in response to a threat,

such as an attack by a predator,

and are used to defend themselves and their young.

The venom is highly toxic to humans…

the venom can cause severe pain

and swelling in the mouth and throat,

which can lead to death if not treated quickly.”

VICTIMHOOD…

.

There has been a growing movement in the western nations in which many are claiming to be victims of some type of oppression.

.

And this new craze of being a victim has become a very power force…even an industry, because there is, not only elevated social-status, but often, even financial rewards for claiming victimhood.

.

And this new craze is not just for individuals!

.

No, even racial groups, political groups, religious groups, and yes, even nations…

.

…these all having joined in the race to victimhood, realizing how much power and riches it might possibly yield!

.

Even statues are now being erected, to celebrate infamous “victims”!

.

CRYING CROCODILE TEARS?

.

This current phenomenon has recently been tagged, “Cry-Bullying” and refers to those who claim victimhood so that the social-media mob can join together to bully their supposed enemies.

.

And thus, they cry “I’m a victim” in attempt to cast aspersion upon others, thus placing the accused in a weak and vulnerable position!

.

And quite often, they accuse their opponents of the very evil behavior which they themselves regularly engage in!

.

And in their abject hypocrisy, we often see the proverbial “crocodile tears” being shed in the media for some “victim” when it serves their political aims…

.

…and yet, these same persons have no tears nor sympathy when there is no political gain to be achieved!

.

WHO ARE TODAY’S CRY-BULLIES?

.

For just one example of bullying among many, certain groups have risen up claiming to fight fascism, while they themselves are striving to bring in some form of fascism!

.

Another example is how learning institutions are advocating for anti-racism while indoctrinating students into their own favorite brand of racism!

.

The government is claiming that Christians are guilty of oppressing certain sins and sinners all in attempt that the government can persecute the Christian community.

.

Nations are attacking other nations and then crying victimhood when that other nation retaliates!

.

Even back in the Garden, Eve was deceived into believing that she was being oppressed by God, being prevented from reaching her true potential.

.

Yes, victimhood has always been a powerful weapon, even used by that master-deceiver, Lucifer, who convinced a third of the host of Heaven to rebel against God!

THE USUAL HATE-FILLED NAME-CALLING

.

Now, some of the current name-calling sounds like this: “They’re a bunch of Nazi Fascists!” “He’s are racist!” “He’s a modern day Hitler!” “They’re a bunch of ‘such-&-such-Phobes’!”

.

For those who watch the daily news shows, these smears are commonly heard, and oft repeated!

A LIE REPEATED OFTEN

.

Joseph Goebbels, Propaganda Minister for Adolph Hitler said, “If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it. If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth.”

.

**And isn’t it true that this demonizing of political enemies by branding them as “Nazis”, “Fascists”, and/or “racists” is very effective?**

.

Yes, these modern-day ideology-warriors instinctively know that George Goebbels was right in his assertion that “a lie repeated often enough, it becomes truth”.

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but…against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places”

Ephesians 6:12 (Condensed for brevity)

.

Of course, credit must be given to the true source of this phenomenon.

.

**Yes, “the god of this world”, Lucifer, now titled, The Devil and Satan, and the great Dragon is the true mastermind and orchestrator of this gargantuan movement!**

.

**And because, Satan now “speaks as a dragon”, through the media, and other institutions…**

.

…he has the ability to stir up pretentious sympathy, anger, hatred, and even violence amongst his unsaved citizenry of the nations. (Revelation 13:11)

.

.

I AM GUILTY OF THE SAME!

.

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!

.

.

And truth-be-told, all this totalitarian anger is a fulfillment of the following prophecy concerning these end-times…

…”And the nations were angry,

and Thy wrath is come,

and the time of the dead,

that they should be judged”

Revelation 11:18

.

Yes, this above prophecy informs us that Judgment Day has already begun!

.

And so, right now, it would be a critically wise decision for those who are immersed in our hate-filled anger, to turn to the Lord with all our heart, and to plead for true repentance, before it’s too late!

“THE SCORNER (THE PHARISEE)”

“For from within, out of the heart of men,

proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications,

murders, Thefts, covetousness,

wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness,

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 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.

.

**Unlike the first Moon-man’s sad shock and awe; this ‘man/fox/wolf/dog’ appears to be that of anger and scorn.**

.

As if he is disgusted at the sinful planet below.

.

He is very moral, you see!

Revelation 13:11

As a conservative television talk-show host quizzed his very politically-minded mother about some major news-worthy events in the world…

.

…it became evident that her particular politically-biased news-source completely omitted various stories which one might easily find in other publications.

.

“And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.”

Matthew 24:12

.

Truth-be-told, in the increasingly divided and polarized western societies…

.

…the various news services have more-or-less devolved into little more than ideological warriors…

.

…each jealously fighting for their own political cause.

.

It is a veritable war between two very different ideologies.

.

One side claims to be the ideology of mercy and compassion while the other stands for morality and justice.

“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

.

**Of course, this website reveals these two power sources to actually be the “two horns like a lamb”, spoken of in the Book of Revelation, concerning the False Prophet Beast.**

.

Yes, Revelation 13 reveals this beast as having “two horns like a lamb, and spake as a dragon”?

.

And as this website points out, the Lamb of God, Jesus, has two horns of power, spoken in various places, such as Psalm 85:10…“Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.”

.

Therefore, it’s no mystery that while one political ideology claims to be the arbiters of mercy and compassion, the other claims to be the arbiters of righteousness and truth.

.

**These are the metaphorical “two horns like a lamb” which the Revelation 13 & 17 “False Prophet” has.**

YELLOW JOURNALISM: THE NEW NORMAL!

.

With the major voices in the world becoming so dishonest…

.

…just how can a person read or listen to the daily news, without being misled?

.

As the opening little story in this article told, the TV host’s mother was confining herself to news sources which aligned with her own political biases.

.

Thus, those biased sources were purposely omitting news stories which they don’t want the public to be aware of.

.

And as is commonly said today, “While it once was true that newspapers printed ‘all the news that fits’, yet today, those same newspapers print ‘all the news that fits their political biases!'”

“A Man Hears What He Wants to Hear and Disregards the Rest!”

(Lyric from “The Boxer” by Paul Simon)

.

Now, it may be true that a good portion of the populace really doesn’t want to hear news which they don’t like to hear, regardless which side of the political isle they reside!

.

And now, with the advent of Internet, it is currently possible to limit which information that each individual is allowed to hear or not hear!

.

And so, for those who want to truly know what’s actually happening in the world, must dig hard, to get their news from a variety of sources.

The 6th Head of the Beast

.

**For some reason, the 6th head of Antichrist (which includes the left horn of the False Prophet) is largely in control of the media.**

.

And, unfortunately, it is this 6th head which is aggressively attempting to stamp out freedom of speech.

.

And so, we can expect to find it increasingly difficult to get the true state of affairs from today’s news sources.

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY!”

Proverbs 25:25

.

But the very best source of news is, of course the Bible!

.

This is because it was inspired by a God of infinite knowledge, who reveals the end from the beginning…

…”Declaring the end from the beginning,

and from ancient times the things that are not yet done”

Isaiah 46:10

.

And the wonderful thing about the Bible is that it explains what is happening, but also, WHY all these current events are occurring!

coming up out of the earth;

and he had two horns like a lamb,

and he spake as a dragon.“

Many years ago, two young boys were walking by some religious schoolground. The first boy said to the other, “Let’s get a drink from this water-fountain.”

.

Out of the clear blue, the other young boy disdainfully retorted, “Naw, that’s ‘Jew-water’!”

.

The first boy didn’t answer back, but looked dumbfounded at such a comment (probably mostly because he was a student at that very same religious school!).

.

But the fact is, the second young boy had absolutely no idea what he was saying!

.

After all, it wasn’t even a Jewish school, but actually was operated by some Christian denomination.

.

Years later, the other boy, now fully grown, thought back and wondered, “Why in the world did I make such an outrageously harsh and stupid denunciation, especially since I had not the slightest clue what a Jew actually was at such a young age?!”

“We are become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.”

Psalm 79:4

.

The Bible reveals that Satan has been attacking Israel and the Jewish people almost since the days of Abraham.

.

Certainly, Abraham’s son, Isaac, had a number of his wells stolen by Philistines and others. (See Genesis 26)

.

The Old Testament is literally saturated with true accounts of Israel’s conflicts with Philistines and others.

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against…spiritual wickedness in high places.”

Ephesians 6:11, 12

.

But the Bible reveals that it is not merely mortal people who are the only ones persecuting God’s people.

.

Listen to God’s Word…

…”Put on the whole armour of God,

that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,

but against principalities, against powers,

against the rulers of the darkness of this world,

against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

Ephesians 6:11, 12

.

Here we see that our true enemy is that invisible spirit of evil, who works through the human race to create/promote/instigate all the sins and troubles which this world is literally dripping with!

.

“Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you”

1st John 3:13

.

It’s truly amazing to see how quickly the hatred for the Jewish people has intensified and spread its tentacles in every direction!

.

But should it really surprise us to see all the hatred which exists today against Jews?

.

**Oh yes, such hatred is only to be expected by those who live in today’s “Philistine” (This name is now corrupted to “Palestine”).**

.

Nevertheless, it’s still amazing to see the same hatred for Jews by a great multitude from many nations!

.

It is the same hatred which Adolph Hitler and the Nazis had for the Jewish people!

.

**THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA: “And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.“**

.

Yes, it’s not difficult to see the Nazi spirit rising up today!

.

And this hatred is largely propagated by today’s media Goliaths, whom the Bible prophesies “and he spake as a dragon”!

.

Just go on the Internet and be horrified at all the vitriolic disdain cast down upon the Jewish race!

.

Or read about the violent attacks on Jews in many western nations!

.

And it is very probable that many hate-filled young adults could not even be able to locate Israel on a map!

.

And yet, they somehow have an innate hatred for Jewish people!

“the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:”

Those who have no personal issue with Jews show their hatred of Jews is borne by the indwelling of Satan, even as is written…

…”Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world,

according to the prince of the power of the air,

the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:”

Ephesians 2:2

.

**In this above verse, it is revealed that Satan, whom the Bible refers to as “the prince of the power of the air”, is the spirit which now works in the unsaved people of the world.**

.

**Therefore, it is small wonder that Satan’s long-time and ongoing hatred of Jews is also manifest in his followers, i.e., the unbelieving multitudes in the world.**

Part 20:

“No God = No Truth”

To read Part 1, click here… “January 3 (World of Lies, Part 1: The Femme-Fatale Firefly!)”

.

“What is Truth?“

John 18:38

.

Pilate said to Jesus, “What is truth?”

The fact is, Pilate was looking truth in the eyes as he asked that very question…”What is Truth?”

Jesus tells us, “Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

Yes, Jesus is truth as John 14:6 reveals!

Now, this poses a very interesting question! Namely, if Jesus is truth, then “What is truth without Jesus?”

.

Maybe an even more pertinent question to be asked in this age of atheism is this, “If there is no God, then what is true, what is right, and what is wrong?”

If one goes onto the Internet, there are many videos which deal with this question. And the bottom line explanation quite often offered is that without God, there is no right or wrong, or even no truth!

In other words, if life in a universe is merely the result of some chaotic explosion, then life itself is without purpose, nor subject to any rules. This would mean that life is merely a free-for-all! Anything goes! Anything you can get away with is just fine! Purpose is simply whatever you want it to be! And if someone else has a different idea, then that’s his or her prerogative! If you want to kill or steal or rape, then that’s your choice!

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN

Info & pics of constellations on this site from Wikipedia & International Astronomical Union (click here)

.

THE NARROW GATE STARS

This most amazing phenomenon is seen throughout the winter. Although it can be observed most of the winter, it is seen best when it is the western part of the sky, at winter’s end (The end of winter being the final scene of this heavenly Gospel story). Orion , the Dragon, and the Glorious White Horse are beginning to descend into the western horizon (sketch to right is Winter Constellations descending into western horizon. This can actually be seen as early as December, in the pre-dawn hours).

.

And at this point it is apparent that the Fleeing Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation is veering toward the two bright stars, known as Castor and Pollux (sketch to below left). But the Wide Gate Stars are composed of the two brightest stars of the Auriga Constellation, known as the star, Capella, and the star, Menkalinan. The two stars, Castor and Pollux, make up the concept of the Orion’s Narrow Gate Stars.

.

This can even be observed into June in the western sky (for a short time just after dark). While a dark night is best for seeing the Woman Constellation, the 4 stars which comprise the Narrow Gate/Wide Gate Stars can be seen even under mediocre conditions. It begins with the Fleeing Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation (AKA Ursa Major) going towards these two doors.

.

The sketch to left shows, the two doors are each composed of two bright stars. The two bright stars that comprise the Narrow Gate are the two brightest stars of the Orion the Reaper’s sickle. The two stars that comprise the ‘Wide Gate’ Stars are the two brightest stars of the wave of water that comes out of the Dragon Constellation’s mouth (for explanation of “Wave of Water”, just click here). The stars that make up the ‘Narrow Gate’ are about half the width of the Wide Gate (see sketch to right).

.

(For more information on Orion’s sickle, just click here,“Orion The R eaper”.)

Editor’s note: These sketches on this page are merely sketches. The stars are not in their exact place. However, they are close enough to find them in the night sky. But as with most stars, it takes persistence to finally locate them.

Part 2 “Satan’s Cheerleading Squad”

To read Part 1, click here…October 1 (And He Spake as a Dragon! Part 1: “Internet: The Ultimate Great Tribulation Weapon!”)

.

“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

ABOVE PICTURE: Satan, The False Prophet who now in these last days destroys the churches via a world-loving prosperity-driven false gospel – www.signsofheaven.org

.

**But aside from its terrible influence, television (and Internet, radio, magazines, etc.) has become a sort of cheerleader of sorts.**

.

Don’t we all remember back in school, how a cheerful and energetic group of fresh-faced youngsters danced and jumped and chanted to their respective fans…

.

…and all this with the intent of inspiring their home-team to a hopeful victory?

.

“And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them”

Revelation 9:6

.

But Satan has his own cheerful and energetic rally-squad!

.

**Yes, it’s true! The “god of this world” has begun using high-tech devices to become his own ‘cheerleading squad’, so to speak.**

.

After all, this sad and hopeless world is getting increasingly sad and more hopeless and extremely discouraging for many, to say the least!

“That at that time ye were without Christ…having no hope, and without God in the world:”

Ephesians 2:12

.

**Like never before, young people (and many oldsters too!) are looking at the world through the lens of social media…**

.

**…and as a result, are becoming so confused by all the societal madness, perversity, and moral depravity now being broadcast over today’s high-tech, “power of the air(waves)” devices.**

(See Ephesians 2:2, 3)

.

And many of these victims of the current-day high-tech obsession are sometimes resorting to suicide to escape this current-day hopeless insanity!

“And that they (the unsaved world) may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will”

2nd Timothy 2:26

.

**And so, “the god of this world” realizes that unless he can keep us hopeful in this, his antichrist world-system, he will have a rebellion and mutiny…**

.

…as we desperately run to the Lord in hope of escaping from Satan’s kingdom of selfishness, sin, confusion and madness!

.

Therefore, this great deceiver and “father of lies” has brought in his squad of cheerleaders, his chief spokespeople, to give us hope, howbeit a false hope, to keep us captive in his prison-house of sin and selfishness! (2nd Corinthians 4:4 & John 8:44)

.

.

JUST WHO ARE SATAN’S SPOKESPEOPLE?

.

Now, Hollywood isn’t the only place where Satan’s spokespeople can be seen and heard, cheering on the general public!

.

No, Satan’s cheerleading squad also consists of, for instance, pop-music-idols, sports-stars, politicians, authors, playwrights, atheistic-teachers, world-loving-preachers, and all those who willfully and loudly promote his fallen antichrist-world-system.

.

Listen to Scripture…

…”Love not the world,

neither the things that are in the world.

If any man love the world,

the love of the Father is not in him.”

1st John 2:15

.

Yes, whether by word or by example, all those who willingly lead the populace to further love this present proud, lustful, and self-seeking world are, by participation, an integral part of Satan’s cheerleading squad.

.

Sadly and tragically, we are now witnessing the fulfillment of the ongoing prophecy of Peter…“But the end of all things is at hand”. 1st Peter 4:7

.

**Yes, it truly is the “end of days”! Everywhere we look, we are confounded to witness how fast this world is sinking into wholesale depravity!**

.

From the meteor-like rise of crime and vice,

.

To the corrupt, two-tiered justice-system,

.

To the rapidly declining morality,

.

To the irresponsible and suicidal spending by government,

.

To the Sodom-like indoctrination of society and their schoolchildren,

.

To the incredible dishonesty of the mass-media, as they vigorously incite division, distrust, and hatred between the various color-groups and social groups,

.

To the corruption of the decadent political system,

.

To the aimlessly lost and hopelessly confused younger generation, being encouraged to embrace hopeless nihilism,

.

To the self-loathing nihilism of a godless generation, without hope, like a ship lost and tossed about on the stormy sea!

“And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God…and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed”

Acts 16:25, 26

.

Here above is an ‘End of Days’ prophecy all tucked away in the Book of Acts!

.

Yes, Paul and Silas represent God’s own “cheerleading squad”, which cheer for Heaven’s victory over Lucifer’s sorrowful and tragic world!

.

Yes, Paul and Silas represent God’s people, who are bound in fetters in this Prison house of sin, which this world is!

.

And just when the night couldn’t be darker (at midnight), the joy-filled “songs of deliverance” sung by these two saints results in our chains being broken, and the doors of freedom are finally opened! Psalm 32:7

.

“Rejoice in the Lord alway:

and again I say, Rejoice.

Let your moderation be known unto all men.

The Lord is at hand.

Be careful for nothing;

but in every thing by prayer

and supplication with thanksgiving

let your requests be made known unto God”

How Do I See These Signs Of Heaven?

.

Part 7:

“A DISCLAIMER ABOUT THIS SITE”

To read Part 1, go here…“January 2nd (How do I See These Signs of Heaven? Part 1)”

.

Anticipating any possible future backlash against this website, the following info must be shared.

.

Although the editor may be the human editor to write down these things, yet make no mistake…

.

…this site and the articles herein are not the inspiration of the editor.

.

And yet, the inspiration for these articles, and the information regarding these signs in the sun, moon, and stars have been inspired, hopefully and prayerfully, 100% by Heaven!

ABOVE PICTURE: Prayer – Wherefore He is able to save to the uttermost…” Hebrews 7:25

.

“But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world …”

1st Corinthians 1:27

.

Now, as far as these teachings and admonitions, let it be made very clear, that we are all struggling with sin!

.

In other words, even though the fallible pen has written down these truths, they have been given and presented, hopefully by Heaven alone!

.

As a matter of fact, hopefully we are convicted in heart at the very high bar which has been set by this website, and struggle daily to overcome in all these areas of Christlike conduct!

.

By God’s grace, we’ll daily grow in grace and knowledge as we prayerfully read and take these articles to heart!

.

ABOVE PICTURE: Prayer – Wherefore He is able to save to the uttermost…” Hebrews 7:25

.

“These (Bereans) were more noble…in that they received the Word with all readiness of mind, and searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so”

.

And so, in conclusion, the warning and encouragement goes out to emulate those “Noble Bereans”, in which they “received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so”. Acts 17:11

.

In other words, while this website fully believes the information herein is biblical, it makes no guarantees…

.

…and leaves the responsibility with the readers to study, study, pray, and study some more to verify the things written herein!

.

And especially on any controversial issues, the Reader is highly encouraged to read, not just one, but many articles in order to get the full context.

.

And should the Lord bless the reader by revealing these signs written in the sun, moon, and stars, then the reader will know for a certainty that these starry messengers are sent from God.

A HEAVENLY HOBBY

“Lift up your eyes on high,

.

and behold Who hath created these things;

.

that brings out their host by number:

.

He calls them all by names by the greatness of His might,

.

for that He is strong in power;

.

not one faileth.”

Isaiah 40:26

FIRST FIND ORION & 7 STARS

The very first step in finding these many constellations, should be to find the two main constellations: Orion, and the 7 Stars (aka, The Big Dipper).

.

These two constellations represent Christ (Orion), and His Church (7 Stars).

.

And just as these are the easiest constellations to find, so too, the first place to begin studying the Bible is the Four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John).

.

These four books present Christ and His Church, when He walked the earth, just as Orion and the 7 Stars represent Christ and His Church, as seen up in the heavens.

.

Then, once you are comfortable finding these two constellations, you can begin to locate the next closest constellations, and so on.

.

.

ANOTHER HEAVENLY HOBBY: PRAYER-WALKS

.

Now if you’re fortunate enough to be able to go on nightly walks, and you live in an area where you can safely view the stars, here is another Heavenly Hobby which Signs Of Heaven endorses…

.

Why not combine star-watching with prayer, as you walk? What a great way to draw closer to God!

.

It cannot be over-stressed, just how wonderful it is to walk under the dark canopy of Heaven, while lifting up one’s heart to our Heavenly Father!

.

There is a closeness to God that cannot be described with words!

.

(And even if you cannot safely do this, you can always do such prayer-walks in the daytime, in a safe place, such as a mall, which is every bit as effective, prayer-wise.

And for those who are in confinement, one can view these starry signs on the Internet, or simply listen to Scripture on audio.

Either way, all such may enjoy God’s richest blessings at this very time in which God is pouring out all Heaven’s treasures upon anyone willing to forsake all, and follow Jesus!)

Isa 59:15 Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.

Part 23:

“Is America Really Becoming a ‘Banana Republic’?”

To read Part 1, click here…“March 28th (Taking Back This Nation For God)

.

“Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer,

and He that formed thee from the womb,

I am the LORD that maketh all things;

that stretcheth forth the heavens alone;

that spreadeth abroad the earth by Myself;

That frustrateth the tokens of the liars,

and maketh diviners mad;

that turneth wise men backward,

and maketh their knowledge foolish…”

Isaiah 44:24. 25

.

A NEW NATION WAS FORMED

.

Those who, long ago, sailed to this fledging nation, exhausted from the centuries of religious/civil tyranny in Europe, began what they thought was to be a Christian nation!

.

Yes, America was the beginning of a great experiment in freedom of political/religious speech, as well as liberty of conscience!

Pilgrims & Thanksgiving – Brascome – Wikipedia – Public Domain

.

“And he (Antichrist) shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High”

Daniel 7:25

.

And God mercifully gave this nation an incredible constitution: a wonderful gift given by the Almighty, because of cruel tyranny He allowed by the harsh hand of Satan, throughout the various European nations during the centuries of The Dark Ages.

.

Yes, throughout the Dark Ages of Europe, Satan, using the evil, apostate church of that day, wore out the saints through various forms of persecution, against them and against the Bible they loved!

.

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

.

Burned at the stake – Wikimedia – US Public Domain

Scene at the Signing of the Constitution of the United States by H.C. Christy – Wikipedia – Public Domain

.

Yes, God in His mercy, gave this nation His manifold blessings, knowing how His people suffered so greatly through the centuries of the Dark Ages of Europe! And He allowed the United States to grow and thrive.

.

But as America prospered, the Church began to also enjoy the carnal riches and pleasures of the world. Thus, the Church quickly became sleepy-eyed and lukewarm, fulfilling the words of Jesus…“Rev 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
Rev 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of My mouth.
Rev 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:”

.

But the U.S.A. was allowed to continue, gradually devolving from its original greatness.

.

And as a result, over the past decades, the secular leaders of this nation, without any connection to Heaven lost whatever wisdom that God mercifully shed on this once great nation!

.

And now, judgment was finally and fully falling on the world’s last great hope for true liberty.

.

And those secular and atheist leaders made increasingly bad decisions for this declining nation. In the various government bodies, God’s judgment was now falling. And as of late, it seems apparent that God’s blessings have been removed from this decadent, cornucopian super-society, while a few other nations seem to be getting more and more powerful!

.

But behind the scenes, in the dark shadows of the spiritual realm, Satan had now been permitted to carry out his evil plans. This world’s last great experiment in freedom was ripe for destruction. And even though, the foolish decisions of our leaders seem to lack all rhyme and reason, Satan, “the god of this world” is orchestrating all those bad decisions in such a way that will bring a snare upon the entire world, as he helps usher in the long afore-promised war in the place which is called “Armageddon”.

.

While the media goliaths were busily deceiving the populace into a false sense of security, the sin-sick nation was receiving her just recompense for her past sins.

.

Meanwhile, the apostate churches of the last days, the previous “protestant churches”, were now teaching false doctrines, and bringing in world-loving elements into the church. Yes, the Church was now fast asleep and allowed Satan to steal a march upon them, bringing in false brethren into the churches, greatly compromising the churches and the truth.

.

And while we were all sleeping, Satan was busily setting in place every last detail of his plans to persecute God’s people. But when all was ready, Satan no longer worked in the shadows. No, rather, he began to work boldly through secularists, engaging in seeming madness and overt wickedness, which, of course, gave a rude awakening to God’s sleeping saints! Now, Satan’s antichrist forces began doing unthinkable things, such as perverting and even mutilating young children! The church could not believe such atrocities could ever be committed by society. But Satan’s world-system was now so powerful, there was seemingly little that the Church could do against the abject insanity now occurring in so many corners of the world!

.

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY”

Proverbs 25:25

.

But even though the world was seemingly going mad, and sinking into the bottomless pit of sin, God was allowing all these things for the purpose of purifying His saints, and helping them to place all their hope and trust in Him, instead of trusting in Man, and in the institutions of men. And now, realizing that there was nothing left in the world for them to lean upon, God’s abounding grace caused His remnant people to fully trust in the exceeding great and precious promises of His Word. Thus, the saints of God began to shine in such a way that the secularists and apostate churches could not ignore! The promises of God’s Word now became like stepping stones of safety in an upward highway of holiness out of the craziness and abject evil which burned like a fiery furnace all around the world! Now, the church became like highly polished gem-stones, purified as precious gold and silver, and shining even as the Sun! And thus, God’s purpose of the Great Tribulation was fulfilled, and Christ was ready to return for His true Church, and God would bring them to be with Him, in Heaven.

DRAGON’S WAVE OF WATER

.

In Revelation, the Dragon of Revelation 12 is described as having seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns. However, the Dragon of Revelation 12 Constellation up in the night sky does not. But God has faithfully created this wave of water, in such a way, as to illustrate this same concept of the seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns. Because this wave of water is basically comprised of ten stars.

.

The main body of the wave has seven stars (#’s 1 thru 7, in the sketch), and the tip of the crest of the wave has the other three stars, (#’s 8, 9, 10).

.

So in this wave, we see the same 7/10 numbering found in the Revelation description of the heads/horns/crowns of the Dragon.

.

And this gives us a great clue, as to where in the Bible we should look, to find out the riddle as to just what or who do these 7 heads, 10 crowns, and 7 horns represent. Because, the Bible speaks very much about floods and waters as being associated with Satan (the Dragon).

.

Listen again… “When the waves of death compassed me…THE FLOODS OF UNGODLY MEN made me afraid. The sorrows of Hell compassed me about;” 2nd Samuel 22:5.

.

ATHEISM AND THE NUMBER “6”

And so, without going into a lengthy discussion, let’s just say that of all the 7 heads of Antichrist, the head which most closely aligns with atheism would logically be the 6th head. And why the 6th head? The Book of Revelation, Chapter 13 warns that the Antichrist Beast has a number of 666. And it describes this number as being the “number of a man”. The number “6” in Scripture has to do with “Man”. It is a number which reminds of the 6th Day of Creation; the day that Man was created. Man was created on the 6th day. And so, Mankind is very much connected with the number “6”

.

And since atheism is the religion which holds Mankind as the supreme ruler of Earth, then the number “6”, being the number of Man, seems to correspond to the 6th head of Antichrist, very well.

.

Now these ideas may not be “written in stone”, as the saying goes. And nothing hinges upon, nor falls apart, with or without these theories. But sufficed to say, there is strong evidence that these concepts have biblical support.

.

And so, this 6th star in the Revelation 12 Dragon’s wave of water, would correspond to the 6th head of the Antichrist Beast. And as already said, “waves” in Scripture, represent the many false ideologies which Satan has flooded the world with, throughout time. So that is why this Signs Of Heaven website believes that atheism was the 6th head of Antichrist.

.

But if the reader wishes to explore these things in more depth, please go to “Floodwaters of Satan-Introduction”.

The Devil Made Me Do It!

.

Part 40

.

In this faithless, unbelieving world, the spiritual realm seldom gets any credit nor any blame for much of anything.

.

Except for insurance companies, not many others attribute things to “an act of God”.

.

And certainly, even fewer will attribute anything to “an act of Satan and his evil angels”!

.

Yes, the Devil has pretty much reduced himself to a cartoonish, red-suited, pitchfork-wielding dude with horns, a tail, and a villain-like mustache!

.

Devil Satan – Wikimedia – No Known Copyright

.

And yet, the Bible describes Satan vastly different…

.

…”Thus saith the Lord GOD;

Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty…

every precious stone was thy covering…

the workmanship of thy tabrets

and of thy pipes was prepared in thee

in the day that thou wast created…

Thou wast perfect in thy ways

from the day that thou wast created,

till iniquity was found in thee…

Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty,

thou hast corrupted thy wisdom

by reason of thy brightness:

(Ezekiel 28:12-20, highly condensed for brevity)

Martin, John – Satan presiding at the Infernal Council – 1824 – Wikipedia – public domain

.

As this above passage alludes, Lucifer, now given the office and title of “Satan”, and “The Devil”, this mighty angel was given many qualities and powers beyond what we know!

.

Listen to this next description of Lucifer…

…”Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world,

according to the prince of the power of the air,

the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past

in the lusts of our flesh,

fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind;

and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.”

Ephesians 2:2, 3

.

In this above passage, it exposes that Satan, being the Prince of the Power of the Air”, has the ability to communicate his powers and abilities to this fallen world of antichrist rebels!

.

And though the human race would like to take credit for our supposed talents and accomplishments, the true credit should actually go to these unseen agents of evil, working in and through us to do their evil designs!

.

“…men of high degree are a lie…”

Psalm 62:9

.

But hey, Satan is more than happy to let humans take the credit!

.

After all, such a mistaken notion only bolsters the ego of many, and causes jealousy in others.

.

And by seemingly erasing himself out of existence, gives him much more power, and also bolsters the faithlessness of atheists.

.

But if God was to ever nullify Satan’s powers, humanity would be helpless in many areas of their personal and collective endeavors.

.

Societies would quickly deteriorate and crumble.

.

Sports and hobbies would lose their appeal. athletes would lose their agility.

.

Composers and artists and literary “geniuses” would suddenly lose their inspiration!

.

Politicians and government officials would begin making poor decisions (which already they are increasingly doing).

.

Amnon’s “love” turns to hate

.

And many romances would fail exceedingly.

.

See, for example, 2nd Samuel 13:15…

…”Then Amnon hated her [the young woman he thought he was madly in love with];

so that the hatred wherewith he hated her

was greater than the love wherewith he had loved her.

And Amnon said unto her, Arise, be gone!”

.

Yes, even many romances are merely borne of nothing more than pure satanic lust!

.

Tamar and Amnon – Wikipedia – Public Domain

.

Yes, there are two power-sources in the world: the powers of Heaven and the powers of Hell (Hell, in this case, is referring to this hellish, antichrist world!)

.

And so, this is merely a condensed, abbreviated expose of how dependent this world actually is upon the powers of darkness (For we wrestle NOT against principalities, etc…)

2Co_2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

.

TODAY’S PRAYER…

“Dear Lord, Help me to not be fooled by this very deceptive world…

.

THE END

.

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).

.

Today’s Devotional – October 5 (The Dawning of the Age of Aquarius? Or Rather, The Dawning of the Day of Judgment?)

By admin On September 13th, 2023

.

Today’s Devotional, Year 4 – October 5

.

The Dawning of the Age of Aquarius?

.

Or Rather,

The Dawning of the Day of Judgment?

.

“Think not that I am come to send peace on earth:

I came not to send peace, but a sword.”

Matthew 10:34

.

Well, for those who remember that “lovely” song, The Age of Aquarius, the general consensus is, “It must’ve gotten off on the wrong foot! You know! The Age of Aquarius must have gotten off on the wrong foot!”

.

Well, just listen to a few lines…

.

“When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars,
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars”

.

“This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius,
The Age of Aquarius“

.

“Harmony and understanding,
Sympathy and trust abounding…”

.

After this, the song begins to get somewhat obscene!

.

And well, that obscene part of the song has probably been the only prediction that this song has made which has actually become fulfilled!

.

.

PEACE AND LOVE ABOUNDING?

.

But as we look at the world today, it would have to be said that “peace and love” may well be guiding the planets, but they don’t seem to be guiding us down here on this planet!

.

Oh yes, our troubles may indeed settle down for a time, in the coming months.

.

But hatred, strife, and division will return! They always do!

.

Algeria slashes food prices amid riots wikimedia share-alike license

.

CRUMBLING PILLARS!

.

But at the moment, hatred, gender-insanity, racism-insanity, and the sin of bigotry seem to be the current norm!

This society appears to be completely falling apart!

.

Desperately unhappy young people vainly imagining that mutilation of their God-given gender can somehow make them happy.

.

Various hate groups thrive under the banner of “diversity”! All skin-color groups are now suffering racist attacks!

.

The rule of law has been replaced by mob rule! Courts are rapidly losing their ability to render just verdicts!

.

Schools are beginning to teach evil ideologies to students (in addition to decades of atheist/Marxist indoctrination)!

.

Businesses and financial institutions are being strong-armed to abide by the economic and immoral wishes of those who are attempting to control humanity through social engineering!

.

.

BIBLE FOREWARNED US

.

Yes, once great institutions are now crumbling before our very eyes! It almost reminds one of the verse from Revelation… “and the cities of the nations fell:” Revelation 16:19.

.

Yes, it seems that the great cities of the world are now rapidly crumbling.

.

And those supposed pillars of society, such as banks, and learning institutes, and governments are growing weak and corrupt!

.

But the truth is, we Christians have been long ago forewarned about all this!

.

Listen to this bleak prophecy concerning our day…

“And because iniquity shall abound,

the love of many shall wax cold.

But he that shall endure unto the end,

the same shall be saved.”

Matthew 24:12, 13

HIGH-TECH DEADENED CONSCIENCES

.

And isn’t it true that television, music, and Internet are filling our youth with hate and violence and sexual perversions and greed and narcissism beyond our most horrifying imaginations?

.

Yes, many young people in our cities are almost completely losing their moral compass, and have little remorse at the sight of pornographic images, premarital sin, drugs, violence, and even murder!

.

Yes, this satanic “grooming” of our young people is so great that parents would be utterly shocked if they really understood what their children are feeding their minds with, on a daily basis!

.

And so, amidst all this doom and gloom, where is something the Christian can hold on to? Where’s the hope? Is there any Good News out there?

.

Question Marks – At a loss – svg – Wikimedia Commons – Share-Alike License

.

HOPE’S DOOR STILL AJAR!

.

Yes, there is still some Good News! God in His great mercy, has left open the doors of Salvation!

.

And each one of us must “Make your calling and election sure…” 2nd Peter 1:10.

.

We must never again listen to those lukewarm voices, crying out… “peace and safety”! 1st Thessalonians 5:3

.

There is an alarm of war which is now crying!

.

The clarion trumpet is just now resounding through the countryside, to “armor up, soldiers of the Cross! The Day is now at hand!

.

No friends, this is not the Dawning of the Age of Aquarius!

.

No! This is the dawning of the Day of the Lord!

PICTURE: Soldiers of the Cross-Armor Up

.

TODAY’S PRAYER…

“Dear Lord, lead me away from the mind-control which Satan is not exerting over the inhabitants of this world! Help me to get on-board the Ark of Thy Salvation before the doors of mercy are forever closed…

TODAY’S HEAVENLY SIGN

.

THE FIVE FOOLISH VIRGINS STARS

.

A new constellation has been revealed, as of about May 29th, 2014.

.

This constellation appears as a snake.

.

Its body is comprised of stars from the Bootes Constellation, and its jaws are made of the four stars which Babylonians saw as the head of Draco, the Dragon.

.

It also has a small single star for an eye.

.

Now in this constellation is a group of five stars, which will be called “The Five Foolish Virgins Stars”.

.

These are located on the opposite side of the Glorious Crown of 12 Stars, from the Five Wise Virgins Stars.

.

But one big difference between the two is, that The Five Wise are curved around the Glorious Crown, while the Five Foolish are curved away from it!

.

ABOVE STAR-CHART (with constellation drawn in by this website)- Serpent with Wise Virgins not Attached – seen late summer into fall only – Serpent Constellation – comprised of the head of Draco, plus stars from the Bootes Constellation – www.signsofheaven.org – not for profit use

.

Now another incredible aspect to all this is that this snake/serpent is winding its way around the backside of this Crown.

.

And it is traveling in a direction away from the Crown!

.

And one really phenomenal aspect to this, is that each jaw (composed of two stars each) is pointing in two directions.

.

In other words, if you drew a line parallel with these two sets of stars (the head of Draco), they each go in two directions…

.

…one leading to the Valley of Decision Constellation…

.

…and the other going straight to the Broad Way to Hell Constellation (AKA Pisces).

.

Now if one studies the Valley of Decision Constellation, it is soon discovered that the same concept, of the Wise and Foolish Virgins, is also depicted in this constellation group.

.

The Five Wise Virgins being depicted by the Andromeda Galaxy, and the Five Foolish Virgins, looking like a wheel, rolling its way down into the Dragon Constellation!

.

Now, before this gets too confusing, perhaps we should dissect each aspect individually, to get a basic understanding of just what all this means.

.

CUTTLEFISH: THE ULTIMATE IMPOSTORS!

.

One of the most amazing creatures ever created is the Cuttlefish!

.

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!

.

As a matter of fact, whatever the Cuttlefish passes over, it instantly begins to change into a similar color and shape, of that undersea object!

.

.

CUTTLEFISH: SYMBOL OF SATAN

.

Well, God has created this little predator to give us further insight into the inner working of the kingdom of Satan.

(As this little 26 second video below shows, the Cuttlefish has the ability to paralyze his potential victims, by using his hypnotizing strobe-light effect! Amazing!)

.

Certainly Satan and his unseen armies love to make themselves invisible!

That way, they can work their misery and woe upon this unsuspecting world, without its inhabitants becoming alarmed causing us to rebel against Satan’s kingdom, as we flee to God!

.

And isn’t true that the pleasures and riches of this world, like the cuttlefish’s strobe-hypnotizer, have a mesmerizing effect upon us, just like this above little video reveals?

.

“THE KISSES OF AN ENEMY ARE DECEITFUL!”

Proverbs 27:6

.

Truly it can be said, we live in a “Cuttlefish World”.

.

Yes, like that incredible impostor, this 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!

.

.

“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

.

This second Beast of Revelation 13 speaks of this current-day phenomenon in which the media goliaths have become totally satanic, foisting the most hideous and evil antichrist ideologies upon the world.

.

From totalitarianism to antichrist-atheism…

…to immorality…

…to murder of the unborn…

…to persecution/murder of Jews/Christians/moralists (conservatives)…

…to sodomy and child-mutilation…

…to racial hatred…

…to bullying in various forms, etc….

…the media has become the mouthpiece of Satan.

.

Yes, the media has devolved so greatly into a snake-pit of lies, corruption, hypocrisy, cover-ups and the like, to the degree that, for the most part, they seem to have lost the sense of honor, decency, or honesty.

.

“The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted”

Psalm 12:8

.

If you haven’t noticed, there has been a rise of political tyrants in the western nations.

.

Yes, and along those same lines, there has also been a rise in those who desire to use the high-tech to control the thoughts and actions of the general populace.

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places”

Ephesians 6:12

.

Now, of course, as Bible-believing Christians, we are not ignorant of the fact that the spirit of antichrist is the true source of all this tyrannical uprising!

.

And this evil, ruling spirit is systematically eliminating our freedoms, day-by-day.

.

But we must not be deceived into believing that all this moral devolution is merely happenstance.

.

No, the Internet and the devices which employ this new power of the airwaves is to become Satan’s ultimate Judgment Day weaponry, holding the supreme position in Satan’s multi-arsenal against humanity, and ultimately against God’s sheepfold!

“no man might buy or sell,

saving him which has the mark, or name, or the number of his name…

six-hundred-threescore-and-six”

Revelation 13

.

And as we all know, present-day high-tech society has the capability of allowing or preventing each individual from buying or selling.

“no man might buy or sell, saving him which has the mark”

Revelation 13:17, 18

.

And Satan is working around the clock to add even more technology to control every aspect of life, individually tailored and custom-fit for each and every, man, woman, and child!

.

And while most will be able to move freely about, the few who refuse to become indoctrinated into this antichrist world-system will find themselves incapable of even the smallest conveniences.

“And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth (the Golden Image) shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace”

Daniel 3:6

.

So, just what is the solution to all this?

.

Well, just as the three Hebrew boys were cast alive into the King of Babylon’s fiery furnace, so too will God’s faithful ones be cut off and eventually killed for refusing to bow down to the true King of Babylon, Lucifer.

(Of course, by bowing down to this antichrist world-system, the world is bowing down to Satan, whether they know it or not!)

Most everyone remembers when politicians trumpeted the call to “Defund the police! Defund the police!”

And so, many cities began a campaign to do just that! “After all”, they said, “people just need a helping hand! And police are so evil!”

.

Anarchy…”and the cities of the nations fell…”

Revelation 16:19

.

Well, as you probably already know, the results of defunding and defaming the police has brought disastrous results!

.

Those same cities have become increasingly lawless and increasingly unresponsive to crime!

.

But the question which many are scratching their heads over, is this: “Why on earth could any half-intelligent person possibly believe that defunding the police could somehow be a good thing?!”

.

“…giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;”

1st Timothy 4:1, 2

.

Well, let’s not be simple-minded and naive!

.

The truth is, these same people who called so loudly to defund the police, are actually planning to bring society under total authoritarian control!

.

As a matter of fact, they are working feverishly right now to turn this once-great nation into a giant police-state!

.

And if it weren’t for the push-back from freedom-loving dissidents, we’d already be under totalitarian control!

.

**So, let’s all say, “we won’t get fooled again”, as one songster sang!**

.

Yes, the sad fact is, that society is now able to control every aspect of our lives! And their abilities are increasing daily!

.

George Orwell’s “1984”

.

In George Orwell’s little book, 1984, he presented a world in which the rulers had succeeded in complete totalitarian control over the masses.

.

**And there were even “Thought Police” to control the people’s thoughts.**

.

.

THE THOUGHT POLICE HAVE FINALLY ARRIVED!

.

Well, about the only thing that Orwell had miscalculated in this predictive novel was the date for this super-society to come into reality. He was about 50 or so, years off!

But that day is finally arriving in which society can (and will) be brought under the control of dictatorial rulers! Orwell’s book should have been titled “2024”!

.

**Yes, by means of the modern media, “Big Brother” (aka Satan) can now completely control the masses.**

.

And now, these high-tech devices are beginning to blacklist all those who do not hold to the maxims which our society now approves and condones.

FREE SPEECH ENDS WHERE IT BEGAN?

.

It is more than just a little ironically strange and weird that in the very place which became the centerpiece for the modern-day protection of “freedom of speech”, has now become the centerpiece to stamp out “freedom of speech”!

.

And perhaps even stranger, it is the very same political party who had longtime prided themselves as being the arbiters and protectors of that freedom!

THE BIBLE FORETOLD OF THIS DAY!

.

It’s truly frightening to see all this totalitarianism being ratcheted up so swiftly.

.

But the Bible foretold that this day would finally arrive…

“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

.

Now this verse by itself may not give us enough understanding into the current-day phenomenon of censoring.

.

Duct Tape Mouth – cropped image – Wikimedia – Share-alike license

.

“Buy the truth, and sell it not!”

.

But this next verse complements the previous verse found in Revelation 13:17.

.

This complementary verse is found in Proverbs 23:23…“Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.”

.

Now from this and other similar verses, it is revealed that “buying and selling” actually has to do with preaching the Gospel of Jesus.

.

And so, the Bible prophesied that the day would come when the true and unvarnished Word of God would be cut off…“And that no man might buy or sell.”

.

.

THE “GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY”

Proverbs 25:25

.

But the Good News in all this coming totalitarianism, is that God’s Word is still available to read!

.

And most everyone is familiar with this next verse…“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32

.

Yes, the continuing search for knowledge of the Bible and the Bible’s Jesus will make us free indeed!

“Let my prayer be set forth

of my hands as the evening sacrifice.”

Psalm 142:2

.

LOCATING THIS CONSTELLATION…

**This “Golden Altar” Constellation is only seen in winter through spring, in mid-sky.**

.

It is to the south of the “Fleeing Woman Constellation” (AKA Ursa Major or The Big Dipper).

.

**The “Fleeing Woman of Revelation 12” Constellation is in the northeastern sky in this sketch.**

.

You would be facing east and looking very high up almost to mid-sky to see this constellation group this way.

.

The altar is farther south but still in the eastern sky..

.

**This altar itself is commonly known as “Leo Major“, with the smoke rising being “Leo Minor“.**

Eternal Torment?

.

Part 2: “Proper Weights”

TO READ PART 1, CLICK HERE…September 8th (Eternal Torment?)

.

Have you ever been on a jury?

.

Well, if you have, then perhaps you have discovered how convincing it is, to hear just one side of the case.

.

In other words, when you only hear one side of the story, it almost seems like an open-and-shut case, doesn’t it?

.

But then comes the hour when the defense begins their presentation!

.

Then comes the moment when there begins to be a balance struck!

.

Yes, just like this photo with Lady Justice holding her scales, representing the weight of evidence from both sides, tipping the scales one way or the other.

.

.

SOME DEEPER TRUTHS NOT SO CLEAR

.

Well, God has written much of the Bible in the very same way!

.

Oh no, the truths concerning the basic plan of Salvation are clear enough, so that none need stumble.

.

But other truths, such as the exact nature of Hell have not been made so clear. And God has purposely done this.

.

Yes, God has given some passages which seem to support this church-doctrine called “Eternal Torment”.

.

And yet many other passages seem to support the doctrine which the Bible often refers to as “sleep”.

.

**And so, in order to properly understand the true nature of Hell, a serious Bible student must examine all the related passages and attempt to be “rightly dividing the Word of Truth”.**

.

Magnifying Glass – Wikimedia – Share-alike License

.

SEEMINGLY OPPOSING VERSES

.

The next step is to realize that this question regarding the nature of Hell is complicated, because God has given many seemingly opposing scriptures about the nature of Hell.

.

And it is only when we are willing to let go of our cherished traditional understanding and begin to explore all these different passages in the Bible, that we now begin to see the truth!

.

**But of course, when you attend a Bible study on the nature of Hell, you will mostly notice an overwhelming bias in what is being taught, omitting verses which contradict “Eternal Torment”.**

.

So, here is the crux of the problem!

.

Do Bible teachers love their cherished church traditions more than they love truth?

.

Well, one thing is for sure: and as already revealed in this devotional, the love of truth is the gift of God.

.

USMC – Prayer before Bible study – Wikimedia – public domain

.

KEEP DOCTRINE PURE

And so, this important step in discovering the true nature of Hell, can be concisely said to be the gathering of all related Bible passages, and rejecting all non-biblical terminology which gives a false balance to the scales of truth!

.

Listen… “Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you,

neither shall ye diminish ought from it,

that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God

which I command you.”

Deuteronomy 4:2

WOMAN FLEEING TO NARROW GATE

LOCATION

.

**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.

.

This sketch 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 below left).**

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – September 4

.

The Heart,

.

Part 5:

“The Human Heart: Wonderful? or Woefully Wicked?”

To read Part 1, click here… April 20th (The Heart: Treasure Chest of the Mind!)

.

“The heart is deceitful above all things,

and desperately wicked:

who can know it?

I the LORD search the heart,

I try the reins,

even to give every man according to his ways,

and according to the fruit of his doings.”

Jeremiah 17:9

.

A few days ago, a certain individual on the Internet, contributed his belief that humans are basically good.

.

And he cited a few examples of mankind’s goodness.

.

File:Erulo Eroli – Der Weihnachtsengel.jpg – Wikimedia Commons

.

“For the word of God…is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart”

Hebrews 4:12

.

Now, before going any further, let’s get rid of this notion that the human heart is the blood pump.

.

Yes, the world has named the human blood pump, “the heart”.

.

And yet, the Bible reveals the heart to be the deep thoughts of the mind: the treasure chest of the mind, with its loves and hates and deepest thoughts, beliefs, and intents.

.

.

WOEFULLY WICKED?

.

Actually, the Bible explicitly describes the human heart in the following way…

…”The heart is deceitful above all things,

and desperately wicked:

who can know it?”

Jeremiah 17:9

.

**Well, obviously, that man on the Internet has never considered this above verse from Jeremiah (and probably wouldn’t even want to!).**

.

**And so, even back in Jeremiah’s day, God was revealing the condition of human mind…“the heart is…deceitful…and desperately wicked”.**

“…and the whole world lieth in wickedness.”

.

And yet, the Bible doesn’t stop with Jeremiah!

.

No, even the beloved Apostle, John, has described this present world as “And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.” 1st John 5:19

.

.

“…there is none that doeth good, no, not one.”

.

And what about the great Apostle Paul’s summation…

…”As it is written,

There is none righteous, no, not one:

There is none that understandeth,

there is none that seeketh after God.

They are all gone out of the way,

they are together become unprofitable;

there is none that doeth good,

no, not one.”

Romans 3:10-12

.

Without Christ abiding in our hearts, we are all wicked to the core…even the great Apostle, Paul…Atticus Finch…and me and you too!

.

.

“Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness”

Isaiah 26:10

.

Right at this time in history, secularists have been largely in control of western societies.

.

And they have been enacting laws which are causing a whole lot of trouble, especially in the United States.

.

Their thinking has been that if society just extends some sort of gracious liberty to individuals with bad behavior…

.

**…the result is that “allowing them to do as they please, will cause them to see their erroneous behavior and correct themselves, falling in line with socially-acceptable standards of conduct”.**

.

**And such thinking has pretty much devastated a number of large cities, turning them into “dystopian hellscapes”.**

“A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you”

Ezekiel 36:26

.

The very Good News is that we don’t have to go through this short life being plagued by all sorts of debased, vile, hateful, lustful, jealous, suspicious, fearful, or revengeful thoughts!

.

Listen to God…

…”A new heart also will I give you,

and a new spirit will I put within you:

and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh,

and I will give you an heart of flesh.

And I will put my spirit within you,

and cause you to walk in my statutes,

and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.”

Ezekiel 36:26, 27

.

Here is the remedy for our innate wickedness: a brand-new heart! And a new Spirit!

.

“Get thee behind me, Satan”

.

Oh yes, the Tempter may come to us oft-times with unwholesome thoughts.

.

But if Holy Spirit of Christ is dwelling in us, we can say along with Him…

“Get thee behind me, Satan:

thou art an offence unto me:

for thou savourest not the things that be of God,

but those that be of men.”

Matthew 16:23

THE SWINE: “LUST OF THE FLESH”

“For all that is in the world,

the lust of the flesh,

the lust of the eyes,

and the pride of life,

is not of the Father,

but is of the world.”

1st John 2:16

This article will introduce this third beast-like face, inscribed in the Moon: a swine.

.

And it will be shown that the three beast-like faces in the Moon, represent the concept taught in the above verse concerning “the lust of the flesh…the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life”.

**It has become apparent that the second face in the Moon, besides appearing as a wolf-like beast, also appears as a Swine.**

.

Let’s explore this concept, for a moment.

.

First of all, when a person sees the second face up in the sky, it’s arguable whether or not it looks like a swine.

.

But it must be conceded that the photos do indeed make it appear as if this character has a “sawed-off” snout like a swine.

.

And of course, a swine is spoken of quite frequently in Scripture.

.

“straw man”

[ˈstrô ˌman, ˈsträ ˌman]

NOUN

An intentionally misrepresented proposition that is set up because it is easier to defeat than an opponent’s real argument:

.

There is a certain radio talk show in which the host will create “Straw-Man” propositions in order to prove his own pet church-doctrines.

.

Here is a short list of various “Straw-Man” scenarios heard on this station:

.

If you deny the (non-biblical) name, “The Rapture”, then you deny that Jesus’ will return altogether.

.

If you deny the Pretribulation Rapture, then you must be a “Preterist”!

.

If you believe that God alone chooses His Elect ones, then you must a “Calvinist”!

.

If you believe that Christians are the true “Israel of God”, then you must be one of those abominable “Replacement Theology heretics”.

.

He creates a derogatory title, “Replacement Theology heretics”…

…and then hangs that title around the necks of all those who refuse to conform to his authoritarian oppression!

“A TABLE IN THE WILDERNESS?”

Psalm 78:19

.

And God has made all necessary provisions for the spiritual needs and heavenly blessings for those who do escape from Babylon…

.

…as they flee to the spiritual mountainous strongholds of God…

…”And there shall be upon every high mountain,

and upon every high hill,

rivers and streams of waters

in the day of the great slaughter,

when the towers fall.”

Isaiah 30:25.

.

Yes, there are abundant rivers and streams of living waters flowing upon those high mountains and hills!

.

And God’s blessings have finally been taken away and are now transferred to the heavenly places of refuge, where God’s people must flee!

“THOU ART MY HIDING PLACE!”

.

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.”

Psalm 27:5

.

This verse reveals just where we must flee to in this current, ever-increasing time of trouble!

.

And it is here in this our hiding place that we may sing the following, “songs of deliverance”…

…”And now shall mine head be lifted up

above mine enemies round about me:

therefore will I offer in His tabernacle sacrifices of joy;

I will sing,

yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.”

REVELATION 12 WOMAN CONSTELLATION

WOMAN ROTATES THROUGH THE SEASONS…

**This page is about the Big Dipper, also called the Great Bear constellation (Ursa Major ).**

.

However, the ancient pagan cultures did not see this constellation as God intended it to be seen.

.

It is actually a headless woman in childbirth.

.

This is seen in springtime in the northern skies.

But as the seasons progress, this travailing woman flips upside down…

.

…now appearing as a woman with upraised arms like eagle wings who is running into the wilderness, westward (eventually flying, as shown in sketch on right).

.

The single star representing her birth-child (Christ) now becomes her head (“Christ is the head of the church.” Ephesians 5:23

.

The 7 Stars (Big Dipper) is easy to see with its very bright 7 stars.

.

But the Revelation 12 Woman (Ursa Major) must be seen on a dark starry night, away from city lights.

These are star charts from Wikipedia, with sketches of the Woman added.

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – September 1 (The Time of Jacob’s Trouble, Part 13: “The Giant, ‘Despair'”)

By admin On September 2nd, 2023

.

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – September 1

.

The Time of Jacob’s Trouble,

.

Part 13:

“The Giant, ‘Despair'”

To read Part 1, click here…July 13th (Jacob’s Trouble, Part 1: Alone With God)

.

**In John Bunyan’s incredible, ground-breaking tale, “Pilgrim’s Progress”, The lead character, “Christian” found himself in the “Doubting Castle” of the Giant, “Despair”.**

.

And the Giant Despair’s wife came along and told Christian to take a gun and commit suicide.

Well, this little book, Pilgrim’s Progress is a really relevant book for Christians today.

There are so many temptations which come at us, causing us to doubt God and His love and protection.

And the Devil will use these moments to come to us and flood us with all sorts of discouragements.

But we need not despair! We just need to redirect our minds back to Heavenly thoughts and prayer. And with all the Bible’s “exceeding great and precious promises”, we can take hold of them as “life preservers” for our soul’s salvation!

For instance…”Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.” Psalm 42:5, 11 & 43:5

So, whenever we are tempted to “throw in the towel”, we simply need to hold on fast to “the hem of His Garment”, and not let go until Satan flees and our troubled heart is free once again!

.

Below are a few of those exceeding great and precious promises we can cling to in our time of great need!

.

as_4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

1Pe_1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

2Pe_1:4 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.

Isaiah 26:3…“Thou (God) wilt keep him in perfect peace who mind is stayed upon Thee, because he trusts in Thee!”

“Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30

Rom_8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

“That the trial of your faith,being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and gloryat the appearing of Jesus Christ:”1st Peter 1:7

“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of Him who hath subjected the same in hope,” Romans 8:18-20

“…our light affliction, which is but for a moment, works for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 2nd Corinthians 4:17, 18.

“exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the Power that worketh in us,” Ephesians 3:20

Jos_1:9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

1Pe 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
1Pe 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
1Pe 5:9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

Php 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Php 4:9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

Psa_34:19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

TODAY’S HEAVENLY SIGN

VALLEY OF DECISION CONSTELLATION

.

SO WHERE ARE THE “MULTITUDES”?…

So where are the multitudes in this constellation?

.

**Well, if you look at this sketch to the right, carefully, you will see an ENTIRE GALAXY making a slow trek up the steep slope toward the summit of one of the mountains.**

.

It is the mountain which is to the north in this sketch.

.

**This is the galaxy commonly called Andromeda.**

.

It is estimated to have possibly a trillion stars!

.

Is a trillion stars a big enough multitude? Oh yes! Listen to God talking to Abraham…

“And He (God) brought him (Abraham) forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and He said unto him, So shall thy seed be.” Genesis 15:5

But this mountain in which this multitude of stars is climbing represents a very awesome and wonderful Bible concept.

.

**This mountain in Scripture is known as Mount Zion.**

.

And it is also known as the Mount of Blessing.

.

It represents that spiritual mountain which Believers must climb, in order to reach the City of God.

Listen to Scripture… “But ye are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem…To the…church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven…” Hebrews 12:22, 23.

.

Well it sure seems that this verse is correct when it says the words… “which are written in heaven”!

.

Because this galaxy in this constellation group is a wonderful picture of the Church as it makes it trek to the summit of this starry mountain; a picture of God’s Church…His faithful people…written in the heavens.

.

**These are the Signs of Heaven, promised long ago to be revealed before that “great and terrible Day of the Lord”…**

Today’s Devotional, Year 4 – August 31 – Kunta Kinte Christians, Part 4: “Sitting Still” CONTINUED

By admin On August 30th, 2023

.

Today’s Devotional, Year 4 – August 31

.

Kunta Kinte Christians,

.

Part 4:

“Sitting Still”

CONTINUED

TO READ PART 1, JUST CLICK HERE… “July 17th (Kunta Kinte Christians)”

.

“For thus saith the Lord GOD…

In returning and rest shall ye be saved;

in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength…“

Isaiah 30:15

.

In the last installments of this little series, the book, “Roots” was the centerpiece for a discussion.

.

And perhaps this possible historical figure, Kunta Kinte, can also be used for today’s subject of “sitting still”.

.

Roots 25th Anniversary Edition – Wikipedia – click here for info about Non-Free Media Rationale

.

AMPUTATION

.

Now author, Alex Haley, wrote that his ancestor, an American slave named Kunta Kinte, had the front-half of his foot amputated, so as to keep him from running away from his family and from his master.

.

And of course, this was a very cruel and heartless way of dealing with another human being!

.

Nevertheless, Kunta Kinte’s loss of limb forever solved the problem of him running away. (Of course, his newly-acquired family was the major reason for staying put).

.

Roots 25th Anniversary Edition – Wikipedia – click here for info about Non-Free Media Rationale

.

SPIRITUAL AMPUTATION

.

But like so many things in nature and the world, Kunta Kinte’s amputation also has a spiritual analogy, when you really think about it.

.

Listen… “Great is our Lord, and of great power:

His understanding is infinite.

The LORD lifts up the meek:

He delights not in the strength of the horse:

He takes not pleasure in the legs of a man.

The LORD takes pleasure in them that fear Him,

in those that hope in His mercy.”

Psalm 147:5, 6, 10, 11 .

.

Notice it says here that the Lord, “delights not in the strength of the horse: He takes not pleasure in the legs of a man.”

.

So, what in the world can this remarkable statement have to do with the Gospel!?!

.

Does God really take no pleasure in a man’s legs? So why in the world would God take no pleasure in a man’s legs?

.

.

“BE STILL & KNOW THAT I AM GOD!”

Psalm 46:10

.

Well, listen to this verse about God’s rebellious people… “therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is to sit still.” Isaiah 30:7.

.

This statement was made at a time when God’s people were looking to Egypt for help and strength.

.

And today, far too many Christians are running ahead of the Lord, involving ourselves in things that the Lord has not called us do!

.

So often, we are not content to simply put on Christ’s very light and pleasant yoke and do the work which God has given us.

.

Yes, in a very real sense, we are making the very same mistake that God’s people made during Old Testament times!

.

.

“He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears”

Proverbs 26:17

.

The stark reality is that we live in a faithless and unbelieving world in which the human race puts their confidence in their own strength to accomplish good.

.

And you can’t really blame the world!

.

After all, they have no faith nor belief, nor confidence in the promises of Scripture!

.

And so, if something needs to be accomplished, then it must be totally performed by flesh and blood.

.

Now, of course, each person has daily responsibilities which he or she must take care of.

.

But there are many other issues which would be better placed in the almighty hands of God.

.

“There remaineth therefore a Rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from His.”

Hebrews 4:9, 10

.

This above passage reveals that there remains a Sabbath Rest to enter into. It is a “rest unto your souls” as Matthew 11:28-30 reveals.

.

And as we continue in God’s Word, the Bible, we gradually grow stronger in faith which yields a harvest of peace!

.

“Habakkuk Says “RUN!”

.

Part 23:

“Rejoicing as a Strong Man to Run a Race”

To read Part 1, click here…August 11th (Habakkuk Says “Run!”)

.

“The heavens declare the glory of God;

.

and the firmament sheweth His handywork.

.

Day unto day uttereth speech,

.

and night unto night sheweth knowledge…

.

In them hath He set a tabernacle for the sun,
.

Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,

.

and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.”

Psalm 19:1, 2, 4, 5

“DAY UNTO DAY…”

.

But our opening verse also speaks on this wise…

“Day unto day uttereth speech,
.

and night unto night sheweth knowledge…

.

In them (in the heavens) hath He (God) set a tabernacle for the sun,

.

Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,

.

and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.”

Psalm 19: 2, 4, 5

.

Notice that God speaks of the sun as “a bridegroom”, and that this bridegroom “rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.”

.

So, just what is all this speaking of?

Sunrise from Burrow Mump, Burrowbridge, Somerset – Wikimedia – Share-alike License

.

“I (Paul) therefore so run, not as uncertainly”

1st Corinthians 9:26

.

Yes, just what is all this passage from the above Psalm 19:2, 4, 5 speaking of?

.

**Well, as we all know, or should know, Christ is called “the Sun of Righteousness” in Malachi 4:2, and “the sun” in other places.**

.

**But then Psalm 19 describes this bridegroom as if he is “coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race”.**

.

This is most likely speaking of how the sun rises each morning, and rejoices to begin his race anew, as he appears to be traveling across the sky all day, seemingly racing back to his resting place.

.

“My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle…”

Job 7:6

.

And isn’t it true that each new day goes by so quickly, soon becoming another night?

.

**Yes, our days go by so quickly…*“swifter than a weaver’s shuttle…”***! Job 7:6

.

And then, before we know it, another Sabbath day arrives, and a brand-new week begins on the 1st day of the week.

.

“Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.”

1st Corinthians 9:24

.

And so, just how does all this relate to you and me?

.

Very simple!

.

You see, this psalm speaks of the sun as a bridegroom rejoicing to run a daily race.

.

**And, as already said, this all obviously relates to Christ the “Sun of Righteousness”.**

.

And so, does this reveal that Christ likewise rejoices daily, as if in a race? And if Christ regards each new day as a race, then shouldn’t we also?

.

Of course, the answer might be “Yes, Yes, Yes!!!”

“redeeming the time, for the days are evil”!

Ephesians 5:16

.

We have just so many hours in a day.

.

And we need to beg and plead that we might be so wakeful and watchful, that we run through our each and every day, attempting to seek for the highest profit, “redeeming the time, for the days are evil”! Ephesians 5:16

“…but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.”

1st Corinthians 15:10

.

Of course, such a joy-filled Christian life as this can only be possible through the power and grace of God!

.

And by His mercy and grace, perhaps such a miserable wretch like this web-editor happens to be, might be able to practice what he preaches!

.

And may God’s mercy, grace, and peace be with us all as we finish these final days to the glory of God!

.

And may we all begin to look at each new day as an opportunity to run a race, from sunup to sundown!

REVELATION 12 WRITTEN IN HEAVEN

.

“And there appeared a great wonder (or sign) in heaven;

a woman…

And there appeared another wonder (sign) in heaven;

and behold a great red dragon,

having seven heads and ten horns,

and seven crowns upon his heads…

And the woman fled into the wilderness,

where she hath a place prepared of God…

And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman,

that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.”

Revelation 12:1, 3, 6, 15

.

**Here is a sketch of this Fleeing Woman of Revelation 12.**

.

**This is the Winter Constellations of Signs Of Heaven.**

.

**Besides Orion and his Horse, we also see pictured in this sketch, the Dragon of Revelation 12.**

.

**This Revelation 12 Woman Constellation is fleeing.**

.

As you can see, the Dragon Constellation is spewing a flood of water in her direction, as is written… “And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.” Revelation 12:15.

.

This wave of water represents Satan’s lies, and his false teachers who tell those lies.

.

“Here Comes the Thought Police!”

.

Part 2 “Defunding Police or Defunding Freedom?”

To read Part 1, click here…August 11 (“Here Come the Thought Police!” Part 1)

.

Most everyone remembers when politicians trumpeted the call to “Defund the police! Defund the police!”

And so, many cities began a campaign to do just that!

.

***“After all”, they said, “people just need a helping hand! And police are so evil!”***

.

ANARCHY

.

Well, as you probably already know, the results of defunding and defaming the police brought disastrous results!

.

Those same “Defund the police” cities have become increasingly lawless and unresponsive to crime, and are now crying, “WE NEED MORE COPS!”

.

But the question which many are scratching their heads over, is this: “Why on earth could any half-intelligent person possibly believe that defunding the police could somehow be a good thing?!”

.

“…giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;”

1st Timothy 4:1, 2

.

Well, let’s not be simple-minded and naive!

.

The truth is, many of these same people who called so loudly to defund the police, are actually planning to bring society under total authoritarian control!

.

As a matter of fact, they are working feverishly right now to turn this nation-of-liberty into a giant police-state!

.

And if it weren’t for the push-back from freedom-loving dissidents, we’d already be under totalitarian control!

George Orwell’s “1984”

.

**And there were even “Thought Police” to control the people’s thoughts.**

.

THE THOUGHT POLICE HAVE FINALLY ARRIVED!

.

Well, about the only thing that Orwell had miscalculated in this predictive novel was the date for this super-society to come into reality. He was about 40 or 50 years off!

But that day has finally arrived in which society can (and increasingly will) be brought under the control of dictatorial rulers! Orwell’s book should have been titled “2024”!

.

**Yes, by means of the modern technology, “Big Brother” (aka Satan) can now completely control the masses.**

.

And now, these high-tech devices are just beginning to blacklist all those who do not hold to the maxims which our society now approves and condones.

FREE SPEECH ENDS WHERE IT BEGAN?

.

It is more than just a little ironically strange and weird that in the very place which became the centerpiece for the modern-day protection of “freedom of speech”, has now become the centerpiece to stamp out “freedom of speech”!

.

And perhaps even stranger, it is the very same political party who have long prided themselves as being the arbiters and protectors of that freedom, who are now the very same political party applauding any media outlet or violent mob which squelches the free speech of their political foes!

THE BIBLE FORETOLD OF THIS DAY!

.

It’s truly frightening to see all this totalitarianism being ratcheted up so swiftly.

.

But the Bible foretold that this day would finally arrive…

“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

.

Now this verse by itself may not give us enough understanding into the current-day phenomenon of censoring.

.

Duct Tape Mouth – cropped image – Wikimedia – Share-alike license

.

“Buy the truth, and sell it not!”

.

But this next verse complements the previous verse found in Revelation 13:17.

.

This complementary verse is found in Proverbs 23:23…“Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.”

.

Now from this and other similar verses, it is revealed that “buying and selling” actually has to do with preaching the Gospel of Jesus.

.

And so, the Bible prophesied that the day would come when the true and unvarnished Word of God would be cut off…“And that no man might buy or sell (the truth)” (parenthetical comment by website editor)

.

.

THE “GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY”

Proverbs 25:25

.

But the Good News in all this coming totalitarianism, is that God’s Word is still available to read!

.

And most everyone is familiar with this next verse…“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32

.

Yes, the continuing search for knowledge of the Bible and the Bible’s Jesus will make us free indeed!

.

of my hands as the evening sacrifice.”

Psalm 142:2

LOCATING THIS CONSTELLATION…

**This “Golden Altar” Constellation is only seen in winter through spring, in mid-sky.**

.

It is to the south of the “Fleeing Woman Constellation” (AKA Ursa Major or The Big Dipper).

.

**The “Fleeing Woman of Revelation 12” Constellation is in the northeastern sky in this sketch.**

.

You would be facing east and looking very high up almost to mid-sky to see this constellation group this way.

.

**The altar is farther south but still in the eastern sky. This altar itself is commonly known as “Leo Major“, with the smoke rising being “Leo Minor“.**

.

“Every man also

to whom God hath given riches and wealth…

and to rejoice in his labour…

this is the gift of God.”

Ecclesiastes 5:19

.

In April 24‘s devotional (click here to read) it was revealed that when the Moon is full, there are three faces etched into its surface:

.

1: one that appears as a man,

.

2: the second face as a wolf (or some similar dog-like beast),

.

3: and the third face as a rabbit, or perhaps a mouse…a rodent of some type.

PHARISEEISM: THE SPIRIT OF PRIDE

.

But these two devotionals are focusing on the second face, the wolf-like beast.

.

If you will notice, this creature appears to have somewhat of a judgmental facial expression.

.

Yes, one of his eyebrows is raised, causing him to appear as if he is looking down at the world with a judgmental eye.

.

This face represents a proud Pharisee.

.

This is because the Pharisees were a class of very morally proud spiritual leaders.

.

And the Pharisees looked down on others with a judgmental eye (much like this wolf-like Moon beast).

TAKING CREDIT FOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS

.

Well, Let’s pick up where we left off in our last devotional on this subject.

.

Yes, in the previous devotional of this little 4-part series (click here) a number of Bible passages were offered to confirm the idea that it is God, and not man, who chooses the life circumstances of each and every human.

.

Listen to Paul’s rebuke to the Corinthians for their pride…

“For who maketh thee to differ from another?

and what hast thou that thou didst not receive?

now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory,

as if thou hadst not received it?”

1st Corinthians 4:7

.

Here is yet another proof-text which further confirms the Divine Providence of our infinite God!

.

These Corinthians were proud of their accomplishments, not realizing that they were perhaps the most spiritually deficit of the churches in Paul’s day.

.

But Paul pointed out to them that if there was anything good about them, it was only a gift from God and nothing they could take credit for.

.

.

GOD MADE…”THE DUMB…DEAF…THE SEEING…THE BLIND’

Exodus 4:11

.

And this same self-approbating error exists today.

.

And those who are living in unfortunate circumstances are not merely the product of bad choices…

.

…but are probably being pressed down by the unseen forces of Hell: Satan and his fellow evil-angels.

.

If the citizens of this fallen planet would really take hold, fully, of this truth, then all judging and condemning would soon come to a complete halt.

.

.

“And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and He (God) doeth according to His will…among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay His hand, or say unto Him, What doest Thou?”

Daniel 4:35

.

It must be remembered that, compared to God’s infinite knowledge and wisdom, we are like little ants in our miniscule understanding.

.

And yet, in His great love, our Heavenly Father has put each of us in our very own circumstances for various reasons:

.

**1. To discover for our own self, the stark reality that “my selfish ways do not bring me true happiness or peace, but rather bring sorrow, disappointment, and ultimately, sickness and death”.**

.

2. In hopes that I might grow tired and weary of my selfish ways, and at last, begin to seek out to find Him, and return to Him forever.

.

LIVING IN A SPIRITUAL BATTLE-ZONE

.

And so, in light of these past several devotionals on this subject, the plea goes out to each and every one of us to stop from all judging of others, whether they be rich or poor, or moral or immoral, sober or drunk, industrious or dysfunctional, etc…

.

We just do not realize how the unseen powers, both heavenly or hellish, are working behind the scenes in the life of each and every living soul!

.

“Judge not, that ye be not judged.“

Matthew 7:1

.

And now that we have finally reached that great and fearful day of God’s Judgment, it is quite possible that those of us who thought that we were better than others just might find ourselves caught in a dramatic role-reversal!

.

Yes, the day has arrived in which those of us who looked down our noses at others might just wake up to discover that “I” am now the one begging on the street-corner or “I” am now the drunkard lying in the gutter, etc….

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY!”

Proverbs 25:25

.

Well, the Good News is, that we modern-day “Corinthians” can still repent of our proud pharisaism and plead for God to burn away the antichrist spirit completely and utterly out of our heart.

.

Yes, we can fall down before the throne of God (fall down spiritually, not literally) and beg for Him to do a work in our heart to crucify the “old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;” Ephesians 4:22

.

And then, when that Old Man is fully crucified, we will wholeheartedly agree with Paul…“Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.” 1st Timothy 1:15

TODAY’S FEATURED SIGN

.

“THE SCORNER (THE PHARISEE)”

Please tilt your head 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.

.

**Unlike the first Moon-man’s sad look of shock and awe (click here to see and read about); this ‘man/fox/wolf/dog’ appears to be that of anger and scorn.**

.

As if he is disgusted at the sinful planet below.

.

He is very moral, you see.

“And the Nations Were Angry”

.

PART 15 .

“Summer of Love, Winter of Hate!”

continued

To read Part 1, go here…October 24th (And The Nations Were Angry!)

.

“And the nations were angry,

and thy wrath is come,

and the time of the dead,

that they should be judged,

and that thou shouldest give reward

unto…them that fear thy name, small and great”

Revelation 11:18 (Condensed)

.

FLOWER POWER? NOT SO MUCH!

.

Can you believe it? At the writing of this devotional (2017), it has been over 50 years since the Summer of Love in San Francisco!

.

Remember that?

.

Well, most people were born in the years following that notable event.

.

But it was a real effort by that young generation to engage in brotherly love at a time when America was at war.

.

Everything was peace and love!

.

Flowers were given as a symbol of peace and love!

.

.

“LOVE SHMOVE!”

.

Well, it wasn’t long until that movement went the way of almost every movement.

.

And the world returned back to its normal push-and-shove ways, now even more skeptical of any so-called, “peace and love” rhetoric.

.

^“And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.”

Matthew 24:12, 13

.

This above prophecy by Jesus seems to be now finding its fulfillment.

.

As we look around, we are amazed and confounded by the firestorm of hate-fueled, crime-filled violence in the world, and even in the former Christian nations.

.

Law and order are giving way to a corrupt judicial system. Police are prevented from doing their job.

.

The schools have groomed young people to hate, based upon skin-color, and against unpopular political/religious ideologies, and even against orthodox morality!

.

Consequently, this prophecy from Matthew 24:12, 13 is just another evidence that the Bible is verily, the infallible “Word of Truth”. John 17:17.

“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

.

Having said all this, let’s give credit where credit is truly due.

.

Oh yes, the media bears great responsibility for fomenting so much of today’s anger, racism, violence, distrust, and intolerance.

.

**And yet, Bible prophecy foretold of Satan’s role as the False Prophet which would have “two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon”.**

.

Yes, Lucifer, now as “the Prince of the Power of the Air”, works through unsaved humans to stir up the masses via the press, and the electronic media.

.

As a matter of fact, Satan mostly controls the various educational platforms, working through unwary human instruments.

“AND A MAN SHALL BE AS AN HIDING PLACE”

Isaiah 32:2

.

But today’s devotional, while shining the spotlight on the tragic condition of today’s world, would also like to reveal the way of escape from all this insane hatred.

.

We don’t have to be consumed by hate.

.

Yes, there is a way of escape, which is found in Isaiah 26:20, 21…

…”Come, My people,

enter thou into thy chambers,

and shut thy doors about thee:

hide thyself as it were for a little moment,

until the indignation be overpast.

For, behold, the LORD cometh out of His place

to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity:

the earth also shall disclose her blood,

and shall no more cover her slain.”

.

Yes, as this above verse reveals, there is, “a hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest;” Isaiah 32:30.

.

ABOVE PICTURE: Hide Thyself in thy Chambers – inspired by Tornado Over Kansas by Curry

.

“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 now shall mine head be lifted up

above mine enemies round about me:

therefore will I offer in His tabernacle sacrifices of joy;

I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.”

Psalm 27:5, 6

TODAY’S HEAVENLY SIGN

.

THE ARK IN THE HEAVENS

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.)

.

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.

Star-chart to right is from Wikipedia. Editor has sketched over Sagittarius to show this Ark Constellation.

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – July 16 (Sodom Rising, Part 21: “Sodomy: Mankind’s Final Experiment in Sin”)

By admin On August 18th, 2023

.

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – July 16

.

Sodom Rising?

.

Part 21:

“Sodomy: Mankind’s Final Experiment in Sin”

To read part 1 of this article, click here… “August 22nd (Sodom Rising!)”

.

“And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom

concerning all things that are done under heaven:

this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man

to be exercised therewith”

Ecclesiastes 1:13

.

Planet Earth has been a giant experiment in sin.

.

Right from the very beginning, mankind decided to eat of “the tree of the knowledge of good and evil”. Genesis 2:17

.

And mankind has been eating from that tree ever since!

.

Gustave Dore – Adam And Eve Driven Out Of Eden – www.creationism.org-public-domain

.

“But (ye shall eat)…until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the LORD…”

Numbers 11:20

.

God has graciously allowed mankind to live.

.

He could have destroyed mankind right there in the garden.

.

But He didn’t!

.

No, God had another plan in mind.

.

And so, Mankind has lived under various types of governments. Mankind has tasted of the various philosophies.

.

We have tasted of the various pleasures which this world of sin has to offer.

.

.

“And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven…”

Ecclesiastes 1:13

.

Just think of all the varied ways of sin which we have eaten of!

.

We’ve experimented with various substances, such as alcohol, and drugs.

.

We’ve indulged in riches, and the countless luxuries which they afford!

.

We’ve now had a good taste of high-tech devices, from radio to Internet and everything in between!

.

We’ve had a belly full of atheism, and all of its related ideologies.

.

We’ve indulged in all types of music, all types of dramas, comedies, operas, dances, and all kinds of sports, and all kinds of foods.

.

The history of mankind has been filled with various self-serving lifestyles.

.

“I must work the works of Him that sent Me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work”

John 9:4

.

But there comes a time when mankind’s probationary period on Planet Earth comes to an end.

.

But there are two more giant social experiments left to fully explore.

.

And just what two experiments are the last two for mankind to seek and search out?

.

Question Mark – Wikimedia – Public Domain

.

“Ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil!”

Genesis 3:5

.

Well, for one, we need to look no further than the Book of Genesis, when the serpent, Lucifer said to the woman…ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. Genesis 3:5

.

Yes, as one of the final experiments, women will get a chance to rule the planet.

.

This was Eve’s foremost desire, when she ate that forbidden fruit.

.

And so, in these last days we shouldn’t be surprised to see this giant push to turn the planet into a matriarchy.

.

.

“If a man also lie with mankind, as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination…”

Leviticus 20:13 (Condensed)

.

But also, we must look to Genesis for a glimpse of the planet’s last taste of sin: Sodomy!

.

That right! The final straw for the city of Sodom was the sin of sexual perversion.

.

And when they attempted to force their perversion on Lot’s two guests, the command was given to Lot, “escape to the mountain for thy life!”

.

“…behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.”

Ecclesiastes 1:14

.

Now, the Book of Ecclesiastes was a book about King Solomon’s commission from God “to seek and to search out all things done under the sun”

.

And Solomon’s life of searching brought him to the final conclusion: “I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.” Ecclesiastes 1:14

.

Solomon, now an old man, finally realized that everything which this world of selfishness has produced, brings no profit, but only unhappiness, sickness, remorse and ultimately, death!

.

.

*“Hear this…all ye inhabitants of the world…My mouth shall speak of wisdom…”***

Psalm 49:1, 3 (Condensed)

.

But while the final curtain is about to close on this world, there still is time for any and every man, woman, and child to get into the lifeboats, and not go down with this sinking, “Titanic-World” of sin!

.

Read and study and prayerfully take to heart, the words and warnings of the wisest of all mortals…“behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun.”

.

Let’s not allow ourselves to become bigger fools than we already have been!

.

Global Warning – Judgment – Christ Coming by Julian Osley – Wikimedia – Share Alike License

.

And so, after living for years as the world’s biggest fool, Solomon finally returns to his sense, and ends that little book of Ecclesiastes with the final conclusion…

.

“Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:

.

Fear God, and keep His commandments:

.

for this is the whole duty of man.
.

“For God shall bring every work into judgment,

.

with every secret thing,

.

whether it be good,

.

or whether it be evil”

Ecclesiastes 12:13, 14

.

TODAY’S PRAYER…

“Dear Lord, Help me to be wise as a serpent concerning the power and influence of this antichrist society…

THE END

.

TODAY’S HEAVENLY SIGN

.

ORION GETS THE VICTORY

.

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”!

“WE ARE TRAVELING TO THE PROMISED LAND” (by C. Whittemore, July 2023)

VERSE 1: We are traveling to the Promised Land…on a road just pilgrims can see?…

And we’re calling all, ‘Won’t you come along, To that Land where we will be forever free?”

VERSE 2: All ye weary ones, come on along…and leave this land of heartache and pain?

You have nothing to lose and all things to gain…free from sorrow and sin’s heavy chains!

VERSE 3: In that land we’ll never grow old…where milk and honey like rivers flow!

Where the bells of freedom forever will ring, and the songs of life forever we’ll sing!

VERSE 4: Arcturus guide us on our heavenward trail, the Cross of Orion will show us the Way,

And the light of the Moon will shine like the Sun, till we reach that Land of forever Day!

VERSE 5: Bring no silver or gold in your hand…Never a price to enter that Land.

It has all been paid by nail-pierc-ed hands, and the precious blood of the heaven-sent Lamb!

VERSE 6: We are traveling to the Promised Land…on a road just pilgrims can see…

And we’re calling all, ‘Won’t you come along, To that Land of love and joy and song?”

UNCHAINED MELEDY, Revised Prayer-n-Praise song lyrics by C.Whittemore

“Oh, my Lord, My Savior, I hunger for Thy love, that I may follow Thee.

And time goes by so sweetly, when I am lost in prayer, and share my heart with Thee!

I love your word, it gives me life, Lord live your life through me!

All the rivers flow, to the sea, to the sea, to the open arms of the sea.

And like a river flows is Your peace, and Your love. Let that peace and love flow out through me!

Oh, my Lord, my Savior, I hunger for Thy love, that I may follow Thee!

I love your word, that gives me life, Lord live your life through me!”

I’LL SING FOREVER TO THE SAVIOR OF MY SOUL (by C. Whittemore, September 2023)

There’s a light that shines above, with bright beams of Heaven’s love, Shining down upon this dark world below

When it shone within my heart, then it healed and made me whole…So I’ll sing praises to the Savior of my soul!

Hallelu-u-jah, Hallelu-u-jah, I’ll sing forever to the Savior of my soul!

There’s a road that few can see, from this dark world it goes, and so gently up that pathway you’ll ascend!

When you walk that road you’ll find, you’ve left this lost world behind, for those golden shores of Heaven’s Promised Land!

Hallelu-u-jah, Hallelu-u-jah, I’ll sing forever to the Savior of my soul!

Be of sin the double cure, Save from wrath and make me pure.
Not the labor of my hands Can fulfill Thy law’s demands;
Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears forever flow,
All for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and Thou alone.
While I draw this fleeting breath, When my eyes shall close in death,
When I rise to worlds unknown, And behold Thee on Thy throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee.

******************************************************

FOLLOW ME

“When I found myself in times of trouble, gentle Shepherd came to me, speaking words of mercy, ‘Follow Me!’

And in my darkest hour, He was standing right in front of me, speaking words of mercy, ‘Follow Me!’

‘Follow Me, follow Me, follow Me, follow Me!’ Speaking words of mercy, ‘Follow Me!’

I pray for all the broken people, living life so hopelessly, hear the Shepherd’s calling, ‘Follow Me!’

And when the night is cloudy, there is still a light that shines on me! Shine on till forever, ‘Follow Me!’

‘Follow Me, follow Me, follow Me, follow Me!’ Speaking words of mercy, ‘Follow Me!’

I wake up to the sound of music, all of nature praising Thee, and echoes Jesus’s calling, ‘Follow Me!’

‘Follow Me, follow Me, follow Me, follow Me!’ Speaking words of mercy, ‘Follow Me!’

The House of the Devil’s Chains

(From an old Traditional folk tune, “House of the Rising Sun” with revised lyrics by C. Whittemore, June, 2023)

“One day there came a stranger, by the shores of Galilee. Some say He came to give His life to set the captives free! To set the captives free!

“And, they claim He left a throne above, came down to this world of sin. To call us all, “Come follow Me” to Heaven’s Promised Land! To Heaven’s Promised Land!

“Now the only life a sinner loves is to live it selfishly. But the only time he’ll find true peace of mind, is if that Stranger sets him free! If that Stranger sets him free!

“O mothers, fathers, tell your children, “Don’t you live in guilt and shame! Don’t spend your lives in sin and misery in The House of the Devil’s Chains!”

Well, there is a house in this dark world, and it’s called, “The house of Chains”. And it’s been the ruin of many-a lost soul, and God I know I was one!

“But now I’m walking up that road that goes, from his prison-house of sin, And I pray I’ll ne’re return to wear his heavy chains again!

Well, one day there came a Savior, to set the captives free. He was crucified and bled and died for sinners like you and me…and only He can set you free!”

***********************************************************

AMAZING GRACE

1- “Amazing grace! How sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found; Was blind, but now I see.

2 – “Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear, The hour I first believed.

3 – “Through many dangers, toils, and snares, I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home.

4 – “When we’ve been there ten thousand years, Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise, Than when we’d first begun.”

REPEAT 1ST VERSE

UNCHAINED MELEDY, Revised Prayer-n-Praise song lyrics by C.Whittemore

“Oh, my Lord, My Savior, I hunger for Thy love, that I may follow Thee.

And time goes by so sweetly, when I am lost in prayer, and share my heart with Thee!

I love your word, it gives me life, Lord live your life through me!

All the rivers flow, to the sea, to the sea, to the open arms of the sea.

And like a river flows is Your peace, and Your love. Let that peace and love flow out through me!

Oh, my Lord, my Savior, I hunger for Thy love, that I may follow Thee!

I love your word, that gives me life, Lord live your life through me!”

“FOREVERMORE” by C. Whittemore, 2023

VERSE 1: Open these eyes that they might see. Open these eyes that they might see.

Open these eyes that they might see, and I will see Thee Lord, forevermore!

VERSE 2: Open these ears that they might hear. Open these ears that they might hear.

Open these ears that they might hear Thy Word, and I will hear Thy Word forevermore!

REFRAIN: Forevermore, forevermore, I will hear Thy Word forevermore!

VERSE 3: Fold these hands that they might pray. Fold these hands that they might pray.

Fold these hands that they might pray to Thee. And I will pray to Thee, forevermore!

VERSE 4: Turn these feet that they might follow. Turn these feet that they might follow.

Turn these feet that they might follow Thee. And I will follow Thee forevermore!

REFRAIN: Forevermore, forevermore, I will follow Thee forevermore!

“TURN TO JESUS” by C. Whittemore, c. 2010

VERSE 1: When your world is filled with darkness and pain, and your tears are fallin’ like the pouring rain.

And the night seems so long, you can hardly hold on…

Turn to Jesus, turn to Jesus, and He will turn you to the light of dawn!

VERSE 2: When your friends all turn their backs and walk away, even though it seems they promised they’d all stay.

And the world seems so cold, and it makes you feel so old…

Turn to Jesus, turn to Jesus, and He will turn you to the light of day!

REFRAIN 1: When the wind and the waves and the storm clouds surround you, and hope is nowhere to be found.

You can call on that Name that’s above every name…turn to Jesus, turn to Jesus, and He will turn you to the light of dawn!

REFRAIN 2: He can take a heart of sadness and turn it into gladness, and hope will once more come around!

He can fill your life with song, and the reason to carry on! Turn to Jesus, turn to Jesus, and He will turn you to the light of dawn!

He will turn your darkness into dawn!

***************

“FOREVERMORE” (continued) by C. Whittemore c. 2010

VERSE 5: O give a new heart, that truly loves Thee. O give a new heart that truly loves Thee.

O give a new heart that truly loves Thee Lord, and I will love Thee Lord, forevermore!

REFRAIN: Forevermore, forevermore, and I will love Thee Lord, forevermore!

VERSE 6: O save this sinner, to live forever! O save this sinner, to live forever!

O save this sinner, to live forever, And I will live, forevermore!

REFRAIN: Forevermore, forevermore, and I will live forevermore! Forevermore!

“WE ARE TRAVELING TO THE PROMISED LAND”

(by C. Whittemore, July 2023)

VERSE 1: We are traveling to the Promised Land…on a road just pilgrims can see?…

And we’re calling all, ‘Won’t you come along, To that Land where we will be forever free?”

VERSE 2: All ye weary ones, come on along…and leave this land of heartache and pain?

You have nothing to lose and all to gain…free from sorrow and sin’s heavy chains!

VERSE 3: In that land we’ll never grow old…where milk and honey like rivers flow!

Where the bells of freedom forever will ring, and the songs of life forever we’ll sing!

VERSE 4: Stars will guide us on our heavenward trail, the Cross of Orion will point out the Way

And the face of the Moon enlightens the night, till we reach that Land of forever Dei!

VERSE 5: Bring no silver or gold in your hand…Never a price to enter that Land.

It has all been paid by nail-pierc-ed hands, and the precious blood of the heaven-sent Lamb!

VERSE 6: We are traveling to the Promised Land…on a road just pilgrims can see…

And we’re calling all, ‘Won’t you come along, To that Land of love and laughter and song?”

*************************************************************

This is the day that the Lord hath made
And I’m so glad he made you
With each rising sun you are here by my side
You are more than a dream come true

To have you to hold you
To love you to pray
To share with to care with
To hold hands and say

This is the day that the Lord hath made
And I will rejoice, I will rejoice
I will rejoice with you!

This is the love that the Lord has made
That you and I are one
Love’s mystery is unfolding today
Written for us in the Son

For better, for worse
For rich or for poor
Each day that passes
I’ll love you more, ’cause

This is the day that the Lord hath made
And I will rejoice, I will rejoice
I will rejoice with you!

Ellen White’s 911 vision

By admin On July 26th, 2023

“We are living in the time of the end. The fast-fulfilling signs of the times declare that the coming of Christ is near at hand. The days in which we live are solemn and important. The Spirit of God is gradually but surely being withdrawn from the earth. Plagues and judgments are already falling upon the despisers of the grace of God. The calamities by land and sea, the unsettled state of society, the alarms of war, are portentous. They forecast approaching events of the greatest magnitude. 9T 11.1

“The agencies of evil are combining their forces and consolidating. They are strengthening for the last great crisis. Great changes are soon to take place in our world, and the final movements will be rapid ones. 9T 11.2

“The condition of things in the world shows that troublous times are right upon us. The daily papers are full of indications of a terrible conflict in the near future. Bold robberies are of frequent occurrence. Strikes are common. Thefts and murders are committed on every hand. Men possessed of demons are taking the lives of men, women, and little children. Men have become infatuated with vice, and every species of evil prevails. 9T 11.3

The enemy has succeeded in perverting justice and in filling men’s hearts with the desire for selfish gain. “Justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.” Isaiah 59:14. In the great cities there are multitudes living in poverty and wretchedness, well-nigh destitute of food, shelter, and clothing; while in the same cities are those who have more than heart could wish, who live luxuriously, spending their money on richly furnished houses, on personal adornment, or worse still, upon the gratification of sensual appetites, upon liquor, tobacco, and other things that destroy the powers of the brain, unbalance the mind, and debase the soul. The cries of starving humanity are coming up before God, while by every species of oppression and extortion men are piling up colossal fortunes. 9T 11.4

On one occasion, when in New York City, I was in the night season called upon to behold buildings rising story after story toward heaven. These buildings were warranted to be fireproof, and they were erected to glorify their owners and builders. Higher and still higher these buildings rose, and in them the most costly material was used. Those to whom these buildings belonged were not asking themselves: “How can we best glorify God?” The Lord was not in their thoughts. 9T 12.1

I thought: “Oh, that those who are thus investing their means could see their course as God sees it! They are piling up magnificent buildings, but how foolish in the sight of the Ruler of the universe is their planning and devising. They are not studying with all the powers of heart and mind how they may glorify God. They have lost sight of this, the first duty of man.” 9T 12.2

As these lofty buildings went up, the owners rejoiced with ambitious pride that they had money to use in gratifying self and provoking the envy of their neighbors. Much of the money that they thus invested had been obtained through exaction, through grinding down the poor. They forgot that in heaven an account of every business transaction is kept; every unjust deal, every fraudulent act, is there recorded. The time is coming when in their fraud and insolence men will reach a point that the Lord will not permit them to pass, and they will learn that there is a limit to the forbearance of Jehovah. 9T 12.3

The scene that next passed before me was an alarm of fire. Men looked at the lofty and supposedly fire-proof buildings and said: “They are perfectly safe.” But these buildings were consumed as if made of pitch. The fire engines could do nothing to stay the destruction. The firemen were unable to operate the engines. 9T 13.1

I am instructed that when the Lord’s time comes, should no change have taken place in the hearts of proud, ambitious human beings, men will find that the hand that had been strong to save will be strong to destroy. No earthly power can stay the hand of God. No material can be used in the erection of buildings that will preserve them from destruction when God’s appointed time comes to send retribution on men for their disregard of His law and for their selfish ambition. 9T 13.2

There are not many, even among educators and statesmen, who comprehend the causes that underlie the present state of society. Those who hold the reins of government are not able to solve the problem of moral corruption, poverty, pauperism, and increasing crime. They are struggling in vain to place business operations on a more secure basis. If men would give more heed to the teaching of God’s word, they would find a solution of the problems that perplex them. 9T 13.3

The Scriptures describe the condition of the world just before Christ’s second coming. Of the men who by robbery and extortion are amassing great riches, it is written: “Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. Behold, the hire of the laborers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth. Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.” James 5:3-6. 9T 13.4

But who reads the warnings given by the fast-fulfilling signs of the times? What impression is made upon worldlings? What change is seen in their attitude? No more than was seen in the attitude of the inhabitants of the Noachian world. Absorbed in worldly business and pleasure, the antediluvians “knew not until the Flood came, and took them all away.” Matthew 24:39. They had heaven-sent warnings, but they refused to listen. And today the world, utterly regardless of the warning voice of God, is hurrying on to eternal ruin. 9T 14.1

The world is stirred with the spirit of war. The prophecy of the eleventh chapter of Daniel has nearly reached its complete fulfillment. Soon the scenes of trouble spoken of in the prophecies will take place. 9T 14.2

“Behold, the Lord maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof…. Because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate…. The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.” Isaiah 24:1-8. 9T 14.3

“Alas for the day! for the day of the Lord is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come…. The seed is rotten under their clods, the garners are laid desolate, the barns are broken down, for the corn is withered. How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.” “The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men.” Joel 1:15-18, 12. 9T 15.1

“I am pained at my very heart; … I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war. Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled.” Jeremiah 4:19, 20. 9T 15.2

“I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down.” Verses 23-26. 9T 15.3

“Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.” Jeremiah 30:7. 9T 15.4

Not all in this world have taken sides with the enemy against God. Not all have become disloyal. There are a faithful few who are true to God; for John writes: “Here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” Revelation 14:12. Soon the battle will be waged fiercely between those who serve God and those who serve Him not. Soon everything that can be shaken will be shaken, that those things that cannot be shaken may remain. 9T 15.5

Satan is a diligent Bible student. He knows that his time is short, and he seeks at every point to counterwork the work of the Lord upon this earth. It is impossible to give any idea of the experience of the people of God who shall be alive upon the earth when celestial glory and a repetition of the persecutions of the past are blended. They will walk in the light proceeding from the throne of God. By means of the angels there will be constant communication between heaven and earth. And Satan, surrounded by evil angels, and claiming to be God, will work miracles of all kinds, to deceive, if possible, the very elect. God’s people will not find their safety in working miracles, for Satan will counterfeit the miracles that will be wrought. God’s tried and tested people will find their power in the sign spoken of in Exodus 31:12-18. They are to take their stand on the living word: “It is written.” This is the only foundation upon which they can stand securely. Those who have broken their covenant with God will in that day be without God and without hope. 9T 16.1

The worshipers of God will be especially distinguished by their regard for the fourth commandment, since this is the sign of God’s creative power and the witness to His claim upon man’s reverence and homage. The wicked will be distinguished by their efforts to tear down the Creator’s memorial and to exalt the institution of Rome. In the issue of the conflict all Christendom will be divided into two great classes, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, and those who worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark. Although church and state will unite their power to compel all, “both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond,” to receive the mark of the beast, yet the people of God will not receive it. Revelation 13:16. The prophet of Patmos beholds “them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God,” and singing the song of Moses and the Lamb. Revelation 15:2. 9T 16.2

Fearful tests and trials await the people of God. The spirit of war is stirring the nations from one end of the earth to the other. But in the midst of the time of trouble that is coming,—a time of trouble such as has not been since there was a nation,—God’s chosen people will stand unmoved. Satan and his host cannot destroy them, for angels that excel in strength will protect them. 9T 17.1

*****

God’s word to His people is: “Come out from among them, and be ye separate, … and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be My sons and daughters.” “Ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” 2 Corinthians 6:17, 18; 1 Peter 2:9. God’s people are to be distinguished as a people who serve Him fully, wholeheartedly, taking no honor to themselves, and remembering that by a most solemn covenant they have bound themselves to serve the Lord and Him only. 9T 17.2

“The Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily My Sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you. Ye shall keep the Sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: everyone that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever doeth any work in the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel forever: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day He rested, and was refreshed.” Exodus 31:12-17. 9T 17.3

Do not these words point us out as God’s denominated people? and do they not declare to us that so long as time shall last, we are to cherish the sacred, denominational distinction placed upon us? The children of Israel were to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations “for a perpetual covenant.” The Sabbath has lost none of its meaning. It is still the sign between God and His people, and it will be so forever.

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – November 1

.

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

1Ti_2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

A World of Lies,

Part 19:

“Cuttlefish & A Hateful World”

To read Part 1, click here… “January 3 (World of Lies, Part 1: The Femme-Fatale Firefly!)”

.

“For he flattereth himself in his own eyes,

until his iniquity be found to be hateful”

Psalm 36:2

.

CUTTLEFISH: THE ULTIMATE IMPOSTORS!

.

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 sea-weed, it simply changes its color, spots, and shape to imitate that sea-weed. It can even instantly grow leaf-like appendages to imitate certain sea-weeds!

.

This little creature is nothing short of amazing!

.

CUTTLEFISH: SYMBOL OF SATAN

.

Well, God has created this little predator to give us further insight into the inner workings of the kingdom of Satan.

(As this little 26 second video below shows, the Cuttlefish has the ability to paralyze his potential victims, by using his hypnotizing strobe-light effect! Amazing!)

.

Certainly Satan and his unseen minions love to make themselves invisible! That way, they can work their misery and woe upon this unsuspecting world, without its inhabitants becoming alarmed, causing us to rebel against Satan’s kingdom, as we flee to God! And just as this little cuttlefish hypnotizes its “candidates for consumption”, so too, Satan has filled the world with many glittering attractions to likewise mesmerize his naïve and unwary victims!

.

1Ti_2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

.

“And the serpent said unto the woman…ye shall be as gods,knowing good and evil. ” Genesis 3:4, 5

.

In the beginning of this world’s history, the progenitors of evil came to the woman, promising here a God-like ascendancy, if only she would do the one thing she was told not to do.

And of course, she listened to this lie, and our history has been one long train of subservience to sin and selfishness! She fell for the lie and mankind became prisoners to sin and Satan, “the god of this world”. And mankind has been suffering ever since that woeful day!

So, did women ever realize Eve’s dream of becoming equal with God? Hardly! Much to the contrary, mankind has suffered under Satan cruel tyranny ever since.

And because her husband harkened to her invitation to throw in with her rebellion, both men and women, through the ages have suffered intensely ever since!

But as of late, there has been an attempt to convince the public that women are superior to men and deserving to become the leaders of the world. Even Hollywood has produced movies to indoctrinate the public into the idea that men are despicably evil and women deserve to rule the world.

Even one very popular Hollywood production, produced for young girls, actually comes right out and attacks motherhood and marriage!

Yes, it seems as if we are witnessing the end result of Eve’s dream of equality with God: to overthrow the natural order of humanity!

The Bible prophesied that fallen mankind, in our foolish pride…“flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.” Psalm 36:2

Simply put, mankind, in spite of our total failure to govern ourselves independent of God, is nevertheless proud and stubborn. But all this foolish pride is coming to the end as we are now reaping the evil fruits of our rebellion! The world is growing more hateful and dysfunctional with each passing day!

It is much like the deceitful cuttlefish who disguises himself until just the right moment when he turns on his mesmerizing strobe light and gobbles up his victim. Yes, this world has been pretending to be benign and beneficent, but now is revealing just how hateful and evil it truly is!

And like the “femme fatale lightning bug” who pretends to desire the male lightning bug, but instead eats its deceived male victims, this so-called “children’s movie” encourages the same male-hating attitude to the young girls who watch it!

And now that we have come to the end of all things, one might conclude that we are witnessing the end results of Eve’s dream of becoming equal to God!

And as with every other rebellious quest of society through the ages this perverted desire to turn the world into a giant matriarchal dictatorship will likewise end up being a complete failure, even a total disaster!

.

“FLEE TO THE MOUNTAINS!”

.

**And we should not be surprised to see things go “completely and fully evil” in the coming days and months.**

.

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!

.

He knows that His world-loving people have to behold the fallen planet for what it truly is, before we will be willing to make our end-time Exodus!

.

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN

Info & pics of constellations on this site from Wikipedia & International Astronomical Union (click here)

.

THE NARROW GATE STARS

This most amazing phenomenon is seen throughout the winter. Although it can be observed most of the winter, it is seen best when it is the western part of the sky, at winter’s end (The end of winter being the final scene of this heavenly Gospel story). Orion , the Dragon, and the Glorious White Horse are beginning to descend into the western horizon (sketch to right is Winter Constellations descending into western horizon. This can actually be seen as early as December, in the pre-dawn hours).

.

And at this point it is apparent that the Fleeing Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation is veering toward the two bright stars, known as Castor and Pollux (sketch to below left). But the Wide Gate Stars are composed of the two brightest stars of the Auriga Constellation, known as the star, Capella, and the star, Menkalinan. The two stars, Castor and Pollux, make up the concept of the Orion’s Narrow Gate Stars.

.

This can even be observed into June in the western sky (for a short time just after dark). While a dark night is best for seeing the Woman Constellation, the 4 stars which comprise the Narrow Gate/Wide Gate Stars can be seen even under mediocre conditions. It begins with the Fleeing Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation (AKA Ursa Major) going towards these two doors.

.

The sketch to left shows, the two doors are each composed of two bright stars. The two bright stars that comprise the Narrow Gate are the two brightest stars of the Orion the Reaper’s sickle. The two stars that comprise the ‘Wide Gate’ Stars are the two brightest stars of the wave of water that comes out of the Dragon Constellation’s mouth (for explanation of “Wave of Water”, just click here). The stars that make up the ‘Narrow Gate’ are about half the width of the Wide Gate (see sketch to right).

.

(For more information on Orion’s sickle, just click here,“Orion The R eaper”.)

Daily Devotional, Year 4, July 30

.

Who Are The Daughters of Sara?

.

Part 3:

“Ye Shall Be as Gods!“

To read Part 1, click here…October 21 (“Who Are The Daughters of Sara?”)

.

Today, there was a huge march for women’s rights across the country!

.

Thousands were protesting all the remaining inequalities that today’s women suffer!

.

And the event was a huge success!

.

And speaking of women’s liberation, just who was the first ‘Women’s Liber’?

.

.

EVE, THE VERY FIRST WOMEN’S LIBER!

.

But to find the very first ‘Women’s Liber’, we would have to go all the way back to the very first woman, Eve.

.

That’s right, it was Eve who boldly asserted herself to elevate her station in life.

.

Listen to Genesis 3:4, 5…

…”And the serpent said unto the woman…

Ye ye shall be as gods…“

(Condensed)

.

Here is revealed that Eve had already become dissatisfied with her appointed position in life! She wanted to be equal with God!

.

MILLENNIUMS OF OPPRESSION

.

So, is this what happened? Did the serpent (Satan) tell her the truth?

.

Does history record that women have enjoyed equality with men through the ages?

.

Actually no.

.

Quite the opposite, wouldn’t you agree?

.

Many women have suffered much cruelty throughout the history of the world.

.

And their lessor physical strength has allowed many cruel husbands to bully their wives into various hardships throughout the centuries!

.

And truth-be-told, Eve’s rebellion has brought the entire world, women, men, and even children under hard and cruel bondage, throughout the past millenniums! All of mankind

.

ONLY A DROP IN THE BUCKET OF TIME

.

But through the last several centuries, women have slowly elevated themselves, especially over the last 150 years.

.

And now in this new millennium, many men have lost their leadership role in the home, and even in the workplace in many instances.

.

But what is the last 150 years in the perspective of all the thousands of years of oppression?

.

And today’s Women’s March is occurring so close to the end of time here on earth, that it’s more or less just an exercise in futility!

.

“for I am God,…Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done…”

Isaiah 46:9, 10 (Condensed)

.

But when one sits back and reflects on the big picture, isn’t it ironic that Eve’s attempt to elevate her position in life, is only coming to fruition in these last moments of time!?

.

If we would think this all through, Eve’s story along with the current Women’s Lib Movement, together make a remarkable testimonial to the veracity of the Bible and its divine Authorship!

.

Yes, it really puts a huge exclamation mark on just how “spot-on” the Bible actually is!

.

Eve – Tizian – Wikipedia – pub-dom

.

“ALL HIS COMMANDMENTS ARE SURE! THEY STAND FAST FOR EVER AND EVER!”

Psalm 111:7, 8

.

**And Eve’s failure to elevate herself (and most all the women born thereafter) only proves that God knows best, in His commandments concerning the varied roles that men and women are to adhere to.**

.

And now that we are so near the end, this attempt by our leaders to fight for elevation of women over men, is not only futile, but is sure to end in some sort of destructive whirlwind (as will every aspect of Mankind’s rebellion against Heaven!)

.

Eve – Tizian – Wikipedia – pub-dom

.

“And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.”

Genesis 2:18

.

Women were created to be nurturers for the family they gave birth to.

.

They were not created to assume the leadership roles in society.

.

Men were.

.

And just as the electron creates a protective band surrounding the proton and neutrons…

.

…so also, the man was given the role of “house-band”, to hold and protect the wife and children safely in place.

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY!”

Proverbs 25:25

.

But the Good News is, that today is still the Day of Salvation!

.

And all those who desire to live forever in a Land in which everyone will enjoy an exalted station in life, in the earth-made-new!

.

And all are invited to join this end-time exodus out of this sad Babylonian world of confusion and begin the upward ascendancy toward that wonderful and happy Promised Land!

.

And doesn’t this “sad ol’ world” just keep getting sadder with each passing day?

.

But the New Heaven and New Earth will be a wonderful place filled with laughter, and singing, and joy, and peace! And we will truly be, forever young!

“Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

But I suffer not a woman to teach,

nor to usurp authority over the man,

but to be in silence.

For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

And Adam was not deceived,

but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing,

if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

TODAY’S FEATURED 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)

.

GATHERED AROUND GLORIOUS CROWN!

.

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 receiveth the prize?

So run, that ye may obtain.

And every man that striveth 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.

Daily Devotional, Year 3 – January 9 (Noble Bereans, Part 11: Re-thinking Harold Camping Regarding His Ministry)

By admin On July 11th, 2023

.

Daily Devotional, Year 3 – January 9

.

Noble Bereans,

.

Part 11:

“Re-thinking Harold Camping Regarding His Ministry”

To read part 1, click here…“September 2nd (Noble Bereans?)”

.

“Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen…And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, My people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” Revelation 18:1, 4

.

Holy Bible – cropped image – Wikimedia – Creative Commons Lic.

.

So, in this little series, the subject of those noble Bereans has been introduced.

.

And today, it is still worthy of a little more exploration, regarding another area of concern.

.

Let’s look at the key Bible passage… “And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming there, went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.” Acts 17:10, 11

.

St Paul Preaching in Athens (Raphael, 1515) – Wikipedia – US public domain

.

AN OPEN-MINDED SPIRIT IN BEREA

.

OK, so these in Berea were more noble, because they:

.

1. “Received the Word with all readiness of mind.”

.

2. “And searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so.”

.

And so, these Bereans were ready to receive new teachings, which no doubt, conflicted with the supposed, “orthodox” teachings of that day.

.

Yes, there was an open-mindedness which permeated their hearts, and a willingness to continue searching the Scriptures daily, in hopes that these seemingly new teachings were indeed true!

.

Holy Bible – cropped image – Wikimedia – Creative Commons Lic.

.

A FAILED PREDICTION?

.

A few years ago, a certain radio Bible teacher made the seemingly failed prediction that May 21st, 2011 would be the last day of earth’s existence, because of the long-promised return of Christ in the clouds of glory.

.

And of course, when that day came and went, the world began throwing verbal stones at Harold Camping.

.

But in reality, nothing failed!

.

No, nothing in Camping’s prediction failed! But God purposely allowed this tarrying-time to awaken His sleeping saints, to prepare them to stand in the Day of the Lord!

.

.

MANY FALSE ACCUSATIONS

see Matthew 5:11

.

Yes, Harold Camping was accused of being a false teacher, all for the sake of getting rich.

.

But those who knew him, fully understood that this dedicated Bible teacher was a very spiritual servant of God: a man who cared nothing for the riches of this world!

.

But rather, Camping loved the heavenly riches found only in the study of God’s Word, the Bible!

.

.

ONLY A FLASH IN THE PAN

.

Much of this world only got a brief glimpse of this faithful Bible teacher whose short brush with world-wide notoriety was nothing more than, “A flash in the pan”, as the saying goes.

.

And yet, Harold Camping studied the Bible for hours each day, prior to a daily Bible study and a 90 minute nightly call-in radio talk show. And armed with nothing more than a King James Bible, and a memory of so much of the Bible, Camping answered the many questions about the Bible, night after night for 5 long decades.

.

But of course, having only a very brief encounter with Harold Camping, the public and world knew very little about this wisp of a man, with a deep and booming voice, proclaiming the end of the world!

.

La Bible, Notre-Dame – cropped image – Wikimedia – Share-Alike License

.

5 OR 6 HOUR STUDIES PER DAY

.

But God had raised up Camping, and He gave this former construction-engineer-turned-Bible-teacher, a vast knowledge of the Bible, made possible by his 5 or 6 hours per day comparing Scripture with Scripture, to try to understand more and more of what the Bible is saying to Mankind.

.

Holy Bible – cropped image – Wikimedia – Creative Commons Lic.

.

COME OUT OF BABYLON!

.

Now one of the greatest messages which God gave to Harold Camping was the message to, “Come out of her (Babylon) My people!”

.

This great call is found in Revelation 18:4, and is one of the last great messages that was to be given to the world, prior to the end of the world!

.

James Tissot – The Flight of the Prisoners – Wikipedia – US Public Domain

.

ECLIPSED BY END-OF-WORLD MESSAGE

.

But this message became totally eclipsed by Camping’s announcement of the end of the world! The world was caught by surprise, when Family Radio decided to send out this message with as much “Shock & Awe” as possible!

.

Camping knew he was taking a big risk! He knew that Family Radio was probably going to disintegrate because all of its assets would be depleted in the vast advertising campaign to trumpet the announcement of the end of the world! But Camping totally believed his mathematical calculations which he had studied for years in the Bible calendars. And so, he was totally convinced of the world’s end.

.

But because the world’s attention became so arrested by that announcement, and the shortness of time to the much-anticipated date of May 21, 2011, all those years of Camping’s radio ministry were gobbled up by the loud trumpet sounds announcing the end of the world!

.

Judgment Bus New Orleans 2011 – Wikipedia – Share-alike License

.

THE WORLD MOCKED ON!

.

But God knew all this and allowed that fateful day to come and go without incident. And then, the entire world turned its guns back on Camping, and his supposed failed prediction.

.

Even religious ministries and at least one Bible college made YouTube videos, mocking Camping, often making fun of his looks.

.

Well, Camping’s seemingly failed prediction, and all the resulting societal vengeance was more than Camping could take. And shortly after, he had a massive stroke, rendering him almost unable to carry on his radio ministry. And after another year or so, Camping died.

.

Judgment Bus New Orleans 2011 – cropped – Wikipedia – Share-alike License

.

GOD ALLOWED THIS TARRYING TIME

.

But as already mentioned, God purposely allowed all this to happen, in order to complete His last call for His people to come out of the apostate churches, and to come out of the wickedness which the entire world is now steeped in.

.

Yes, what Harold Camping did not understand was, that God has one final agenda to fulfill, prior to the end: the glorification of His faithful remnant, the Church Elect!

.

And God was not going to end the world without completely annihilating Satan’s kingdom! Yes, Satan’s kingdom must be completely toppled prior to the end, and God will use His glorified outcasts from the fallen church-world to accomplish that victory over Satan and his evil government.

.

Paradise Lost – G Dore – Wikipedia – Public-domain

.

THE CHURCH-ELECT WILL SHINE!

.

That’s right, God is not going to allow the Devil to hold God’s people captive in our semi-diseased spiritual condition! And the grand finale to the world’s encounter with Judgment Day, will be the moment of glory in which His Elect will shine with all the brightness of the Sun, for all the world to behold!

.

This is the 7th and final plague to be poured out upon this unbelieving and defiant world, just prior to the end! The Church-Elect will shine with Christlike brightness, totally blinding the inhabitants of this Sodom & Gomorrah world! The Cross will finally be uplifted, for all the world to behold!

.

And so, this is why May 21st, 2011 came and went without incident.

.

But now, the message is going out to God’s people to put away all our worldly idols and affections, and go to work while there is still time, to finally prepare to shine for all the onlooking world to behold!

.

.

“COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE!”

.

And so, this great message of Revelation 18 is the one missing piece from Harold Camping’s ministry, which has yet to be presented to God’s faithful ones.

.

And yet, God had faithfully preserved this great message to His people. Yes, this call to come out of spiritual Babylon can be fully understood by merely listening to that great swan-song Bible study of the Book of Jeremiah. And this 600+ 25 minute daily Bible study can be downloaded off the Internet, and shared with any one willing to listen with Berean-like nobility and childlike open-mindedness!

.

Prophet Jeremiah – www.christianimagesource.com – Public Domain

.

JEREMIAH REVEALED!

.

In this study, Camping goes verse-by-verse through Jeremiah, dissecting and comparing each verse with other related portions of the Bible, to uncover the deep allegorical language which has baffled theologians through the ages!

.

Now for the first time, Harold Camping’s intensive work on Jeremiah (and the rest of the Bible) has simplified the deep hidden meaning of Jeremiah, and how it relates to these last days!

.

Repin – Cry of prophet Jeremiah – www.wikiart.org – US Public Domain

.

“THEY WHICH LEAD THEE CAUSE THEE TO ERR”

.

So the challenge goes out to any professing Christian to prove that he (or she) is truly a Noble Berean, and stop letting others dictate to him what he must believe and must not believe…

.

Listen…“O My people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.” Isaiah 3:12

.

Yes, as it reveals in the above verse, it is the Church leaders who mislead God’s people!

.

But just because the world cannot understand that there has been a tarrying time in the Bible’s end-of-the-world prophecy concerning the “Last Day”, that doesn’t necessitate that we too must remain in ignorance concerning these things!

.

And all a truth-seeking Berean has to do is to begin the painless process of listening to a 25 minute Bible study each morning, and test and see for one’s own self!

.

This above link is to the first installment of Camping’s Jeremiah study.

.

And at the bottom of each day’s devotional will be an ongoing 22+ minute audio study in the Book of Jeremiah, which the Reader is highly encouraged, as a noble Berean, to listen to, and see if these things are so!

BIBLE VERSES PICTURED IN THE HEAVENS

“With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets: he shall slay thy people by the sword, and thy strong garrisons shall go down to the ground.” Ezekiel 26:12

THIS STAR-CHART: This is a Wikipedia star-chart, in which this site’s editor has sketched in these three constellation (without the Holy-Ghost-Rider Constellation). Notice how the right front hoof is trampling on the tail of the Dragon. Also notice his eye is a star. It’s best seen when in the western half of the sky. It is found in mid-sky traveling from east to west. In January, it is in the west after midnight. As winter progresses, it can be seen earlier and earlier in the evening. a dark sky with good star-visibility is best, but not absolutely necessary to see this constellation. It is found on the opposite side of the Dragon Constellation from Orion. And as already stated, this Goodly Horse Constellation can be seen best in mid-winter when it is in the western side of the sky, and you are looking at it while you are facing west. The nose and head of this horse is partly made from the Perseus Constellation. The tail and rear end is partly of the Cassiopeia Constellation. The hind-leg is made partly of stars from the Andromeda Constellation.

.
.

THIS HOLY-GHOST-RIDER

winter Constellations in the east

.

Now one thing that is noticeable and makes this constellation even more dramatic, is the fact that the Milky Way runs right through it. And the question that must be asked is, “What biblical implications does this constellation/Milky Way connection have?” Well, very simply put, if stars represent Believers, then this rider works in the world through His True-Worshippers, to a great extent.

.

WHY IS THIS CONSTELLATION SO INCOMPLETE IN APPEARANCE

.

So why is this constellation merely an outline? Well it does show his back, rear end and leg…and arm. But unlike, say, Orion, this constellation is very vague, even mysterious in appearance. Almost vacant in appearance. Yes this horseman represents Christ.

.

But even more than this, it represents the Holy Spirit of Christ. And as we all know, the Holy Spirit is very, very, un-intrusive, almost impossible to detect His presence. Hence, this constellation is perhaps the most faint of all the constellations of Signs Of Heaven!

Daily Devotional, Year 4 – June 15

.

What’s An Aristaphagist!?

.

Part 3:

“What Did Jesus Eat?”

To read part 1, go here…What’s An Aristaphagist!?

.

“Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child,

and thy princes eat in the morning!

Blessed art thou, O land,

when thy King is the Son of Nobles,

and thy princes eat in due season,

for strength, and not for drunkenness!”

Ecclesiastes 10:16, 17

.

One of the chief criticisms of Ellen G. White has been regarding her teachings on vegetarianism.

.

And she cited Genesis as a proof text, in which Man’s original diet was to be fruit, nuts, seeds and herbs, of which God pronounced to be “very good”.

.

But many Christians are quick to point out that the New Testament never commands nor even suggests that we are to abstain from meat-eating.

.

.

BIBLE HAS TEMPERANCE MESSAGE

.

But the Bible does command us thus…“Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning! Blessed art thou, O land, when thy King is the Son of Nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!” Ecclesiastes 10:16, 17

.

Here is a call for temperance in diet. One group of princes “feast in the morning”, while another group eat “in due season, for strength”.

.

While this above passage has great spiritual implications, the physical earthly interpretation cannot be overlooked. After all, to “eat in due season, for strength and not for drunkenness” is the very essence of a healthy diet!

.

John the Baptist by Harold Copping www.wikigallery.com US public domain

.

THE ORIGINAL DIET: FRUIT & HERBS

.

And so, Ellen White’s counsels on good health practices were very much in harmony with Scripture. And as already mentioned, while the New Testament does not command vegetarianism, the Book of Genesis does indeed reveal that vegetarianism was the original and everlasting diet which God gave to Mankind.

.

And it must be remembered, the original diet will also be the everlasting diet in the “New Heaven and a New earth”.

.

And so, for this reason, Ellen White felt very strongly that vegetarianism was one of the fundamental elements of a healthful lifestyle.

.

.

JESUS, THE WAY, TRUTH & LIFE

.

Now having said all this, it must not be overlooked that God has given us a great role-model for all matters of life: Jesus Christ.

.

And Jesus proclaims of Himself…“I am the way, the truth, and the life…” John 14:6

.

Yes, we are commanded to follow Jesus. He is “the Way!” And He is “the Life!”

.

.

JESUS: A LIFE OF HEALTH

.

And the closer we examine His lifestyle, it appears that Jesus was extremely healthy. After all, his earlier life as a physical laborer (a carpenter), plus the countless miles he traveled on foot during His years of earthly ministry both indicate that Jesus was a very strong and healthy individual (and don’t forget that He spent his last years living totally outdoors on a 24/7 basis).

.

And yet, as we examine the very basic lifestyle of Jesus in the four Gospels, we see that Jesus ate fish. So obviously Jesus’ meat-eating didn’t seem to hamper His health in the least little bit!

“COME AND FOLLOW ME!”

And so, while vegetarianism may indeed be one of the key fundamental ingredients to God’s original plan, we need never be afraid of imitating the lifestyle of Jesus: His active lifestyle of fasting, outdoor exercise combined with a simple diet of fish, fruit, whole-grain bread, water, etc., worked well for our divine Role-Model. And we would probably do well to also imitate Jesus in this area of our life, which would no doubt result in our greater degree of health.

.

And truth-be-told, Ellen White would no doubt agree with these things. As a matter of fact, she freely acknowledged that she also ate fish at various times in her long life.

THE WINTER CONSTELLATIONS

“And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman….and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon….And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon….And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness….And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.” Rev. 21:1-3, 14, 15

This Woman of Revelation 12 is definitely fleeing to the mountains . As you can see in this sketch , The Dragon of Revelation 12 is spewing out his water of falsehoods: false gospels, false ideologies, various temptations, false brethren who will embrace her with the poisonous wine of the The Great Harlot of Babylon. These are what comprise this wave of water coming forth from the Dragon’s mouth. (see “Flood Waters of Satan”)

And He Spake as a Dragon!

Part 5

“Why is the Dragon Constellation so hard to see?”

.

.

.

.

Why didn’t God just make the “Signs of Heaven” so plain to see that most anyone could find them? (Actually, there are several, such as Orion and The 7-Stars, which are very easy to see!

.

But most of these signs take some effort to discern.

.

Well, it would be nice to have some human point them out to us.

.

One Constellation which presents some difficulty to fully see is The Revelation 12 Dragon.

.

Well, the mouth and jaws are very easy to see (Hyades), and the tail-tassel (Pleiades) is also easy to see.

.

And if one goes out on a dark and starry night, the first thing to do is to locate those two constellations (Hyades & Pleiades), which will make it easier to connect the long, coiled serpentine body which winds around and connects these two constellations.

.

.

.

And yet, it takes some effort to fully discern that coiled body.

.

But there are reasons why God made this Revelation 12 Dragon Constellation in this manner.

.

First of all, the mouth and jaws and teeth of this constellation represent Satan’s ferocious nature, as evidence by the evil all around us and all around the earth!

.

It doesn’t take very long to see evil and the results of evil.

.

Evil and its long train of sorrow & tragedy is literally everywhere we look!

.

And so, why in Heaven’s name, would not the mouth, jaws, and teeth, be easy to see?!

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Yes, it only makes sense that the mouth, jaws, and teeth of the dragon constellation would be easy to locate!

.

And they are! They are commonly known as the Hyades Constellation.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Now, upon closer examination, the tail-tassel (Pleiades) represents a woman and actually can be seen as two women: the Church-apostate and the Church-faithful.

.

Yes, this constellation can be seen as a harlot with a wine-cup.

.

But looking at again, one might see it as a long-haired woman with angel-wings.

.

This woman represents the church-in-Babylonian-captivity.

.

And likewise, it’s not too difficult to see the Church of God in her apostate condition.

.

Hence, these women are the tail-tassel of the Dragon.

.

But the hard part is to discern the long, coiled body of the Dragon.

.

.

**And so, it only makes sense that this Revelation-12-Dragon-Constellation’s long serpentine body is difficult to discern!**
