EXCERPTS FROM THE OPEN FORUM QUESTION/ANSWER RADIO TALK-SHOW…
.
ALL ‘NOBLE BEREANS’ (open-minded seekers of Bible truth) are invited to listen to this is small 30 minute sampling of the late Harold Camping’s nearly 50 year-long series of 90 minute nightly talk shows…
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears…”
2nd Timothy 4:3, 4
.
The problem is, with today’s innumerable company of pastors and teachers, and evangelists, and prophets, and even self-proclaimed apostles, just who are we supposed to listen to?
.
After all, there are many different opinions about the Bible, and what it teaches.
.
And the Apostle, John, warns us, that there are many Antichrist deceivers out there…
.
And his 1st letter stands as a warning…“These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.” 1st John 2:26
The fact is, today’s church-world is so apostate, that it is highly recommended that Christians turn off the radio and TV teachers altogether and stick with the Bible and the Bible only.
.
Oh yes, you are going to get many Bible truths from these people!
.
But how are we going to discern between truth and falsehood?
.
Even mice poison is mingled with 90% oatmeal.
.
And Satan knows that to sell his poisonous deceptions, he must mingle them with much truth!

For one thing, pharisaism doesn’t think of itself as being “chief of sinners”.
.
It’s “those other folks over there” who are the chief of sinners.
.
Not us proud and morally-correct ones!
.
And so, Pharisaism does a lot of self-righteous finger-pointing at others.
.
Oh yes, there is a time and place to expose the apostasy of the churches.
.
But never do we judge another individual’s heart nor the motives of his or her heart.
.
Nor do we scorn others, thinking we are more righteous and “holier than thou!” Isaiah 65:5
.
.
.
.
.
SATAN FIERCELY ASSAULTS TRUE SHEEP
.
And any true worshipper of God will probably be so heavily assaulted by the “Accuser of the Brethren”, Satan, that he realizes just what a dirty rotten sinner he (or she) really is!
.
In other words, there will be no pretentious humility.
.
It will be the real thing!
.
Because, truth-be-told, we all have pharisee-ism and sadducee-ism within us!
.
And it is by frequent trials and afflictions, that God purifies us from all such wickedness.
.
As a goldsmith purifies gold by fire, so also, God sends us through many fiery trials to burn away the dross of sin, that we will become as pure and precious gold in His sight!
To fill up the measure of Christ’s suffering in our body is what we have been called to partake of!
.
We must have our, “Old Man of the flesh”, crucified with Christ!
.
And that, dear Christian, is a war that we just cannot avoid!

GOOD NEWS! A PLACE OF REFUGE!
.
Well, the Good News is, that God has provided a place of refuge for all who have escaped out of Babylon.
.
Listen to Isaiah…
…”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
.
God has promised to all those who come out of Babylon, rivers and streams of living waters, outside of the churches.
.
And our spiritual bread shall be given to us, and our living waters of God’s grace shall be assured! (see Isaiah 33:16)

EXCERPTS FROM THE OPEN FORUM QUESTION/ANSWER RADIO TALK-SHOW…

ALL ‘NOBLE BEREANS’ (open-minded seekers of Bible truth) are encouraged to listen to this Open Forum #37, a small 30 minute sampling of the late Harold Camping’s nearly 50 year long series of 90 minute nightly talk shows…
God has created many things of Nature in such a way, so as to teach us all about Satan’s deceptive ways!
.
Take for instance, the little seductress, the Photuris, commonly known as the Femme-Fatale Lightning Bugs of North America.
.
These seductive little lightning bugs can imitate the mating-signals of light which female fireflies emanate in order to attract the male firefly into mating rites.
.
But when these impostors make contact with the naïve male firefly, they quickly gobble up the unsuspecting firefly.
Yes, just imagine this happy-go-lucky little firefly, joyfully buzzing about the summer night air, giving his light for all the world to see!
.
And then, he spots a certain flashing light off in the distance, giving that unmistakable love-light signal that tells him it’s another firefly of the opposite gender!
.
And so, this naive little light-bearer responds to her love-light signal!
.
And off he goes, straight into a deadly trap, set by this predatory impostor!
.
And before he realizes the impending danger, he flies right into her treacherous arms!
Well, this little lesson from nature can easily be seen in how the world has dealt with the Church during much of the past 2,000 years.
.
And like the naïve little firefly, we have flown headlong into the waiting arms of the femme-fatale impostor (the world), and the corporate church-world, has been gobbled up!
Yes, the church-organizations have been deceived by the “Doctrine of Balaam”, spoken of in Revelation 2:14.
.
And the world has embraced the churches, as surely as Balaam flooded God’s Camp with strange and lewd women, and the fornication which followed, resulted in the destruction of 24,000 Israelites!
.
And that was a picture of today’s apostate churches.
Now with just a brief look, it becomes apparent that the churches have become sleepy and have left their watch.
.
And Satan has moved in, bringing in his counterfeit, “ministers of righteousness”, to take control. (2nd Corinthians 11:15)
.
And the watered-down gospels, and the erroneous doctrines, along with the world-loving lifestyles of false brethren have left the churches in utter shambles!
Even the so-called conservative churches have likewise been gobbled up, “teaching for doctrines, the commandments of men” Matthew 15:9.
.
For instance, many of these so-called “conservative” churches are more concerned over politics and the prevailing social ills, than in their own soul’s Salvation!
…theatricals, & musical productions fill the calendar…
…events in which Jesus is hardly ever mentioned!
.
And these social events have greatly turned today’s churches into little more than a social/fraternal organization, mostly having a thin veneer of religiosity.
And sadly, the Christian schools connected with many churches, are kept so busy fulfilling the mountain of government regulations, only a thin slice of Bible is offered each day!
.
And many of these schools are so expensive that most parents cannot afford them, especially families with several children!
.
And beyond the government regulations, many of these schools have sports teams, cheer leaders, sensual and earthly music, and a host of other worldly compromises!
And so, the sad truth is, the churches have been absorbed by the world, and have adopted the ways of the world, to a great degree!
.
And this is why the call is now going out to flee to the mountains of God!
.
And those who flee from these apostate organizations will discover that the Bible and ceaseless prayer will be the place of our refuge, and the hiding place for all those who are escaped from Babylon!

“whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God!”
James 4:4
.
But the main point of this devotional is, that while we work and live and abide in this present world, by no means, are we to love this present “normal” world.
.
Listen…“He that loveth his life shall lose it;
and he that hateth his life in this world
shall keep it unto life eternal.”
John 12:25
.
By this above verse from John’s Gospel, we understand that the Spirit within us, gives us a hatred for this present order of things!
.
We are to sigh and cry for the day when we can leave this present “normal”, and enter into the Promised Land, which will be our eternal home!
But just because we must live here does not prevent us from living by God’s “normal”, to a great extent!
.
Yes, the more we hide God’s Word in our hearts, the greater will be our conformity to the ways of Heaven!
.
And the more we refuse to pollute our heart and mind with ungodly influences, the more that Christ will live out His life in us and through us!
.
And one of these days, we will simply walk upward and out of this world completely, into a glorious Promised Land, that lives and rejoices and thrives by that completely new, “normal!”

Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Daily Devotional, Year 2 – DECEMBER 17 (Planet Earth: Devil’s Island! Part 3: “Which ‘Normal’ Will You Choose?”)
“Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.” Ecclesiastes 1:2.
.
After years of seeking for the things of the world, Solomon was finally brought back to his spiritual senses, in which he at last concluded about life… “all is vanity.”
.
Yes, Solomon finally realized the ugly truth about this life, that indeed, “All is meaningless!”
.
Yes, God worked through all Solomon’s ambitious projects and accomplishments, so as to teach Solomon the great truth, “Vanity of vanities! All is vanity (meaningless)!”
But God, in His infinite mercy and love, works through all the meaningless endeavors of Mankind, to use as a teaching moment.
.
Oh yes, God is allowing all these things as a lesson-book for all who dwell in His heavens and earth.
.
But God also works through the individual lives of Believers too, that they might also learn the lessons of life, which will make His people more like His beloved Son!

GOD WORKS THROUGH OUR ENDEAVORS
.
And so, God allows Christians to build our little lives, and strive for our goals.
.
And so, we may desire to acquire a new home…
…or a new car…
…or a new career…
…or marry a spouse…
…or have children…
…or enjoy social gatherings…
…or tend to our garden…
…or build some humanitarian ministry…
…or whatever other plans, and goals, and endeavors, and enjoyments we seek after.
How can we order our lives in such a way, as to gain the greatest heavenly profit?
.
To fill our hearts and minds with the knowledge and heavenly wisdom found in God’s Word, is the greatest work that we can accomplish!
.
And those who are wise, will endeavor to rearrange and simplify their lives, so as to allow the maximum time and energy for continuous communion with God!
“Dear Lord, Help me to fully comprehend what Solomon is saying to us today! Help me to keep my eyes looking ever-upward, so that the things of earth will grow strangely dim…
Yes, we look around and see most everyone smiling, and behaving very friendly!
.
And so, we let down our guard, because of all this friendliness.
.
But we should not be ignorant of his devices.
.
After all, the Antichrist spirit which indwells the people of the world, and within worldly-minded parishioners, wants his world to appear full of happy people!
.
Just listen to Scripture, as Paul warned Believer’s way back in his day…“For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.” Acts 20:29
.
The problem with this above verse, is that it gives us the idea that these grievous wolves are vicious-looking and evil in appearance.
WHEN EVIL WEARS A SMILE: “Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful”
Proverbs 27:6
.
But the fact is, Satan is no dummy, as many mistakenly suppose!
.
He knows that his so-called, “ministers of righteousness” must be very friendly and cheerful, if they are ever going to be effective soul-murderers.
.
And so, Satan quite often picks the smartest, the most gifted, the most cheerful, and the friendliest Antichrists from society, to infiltrate the Church.
.
Yes, Satan’s “ministers of righteousness” are often the most vivacious, energetic, and charismatic members of the church!

TODAY’S HEAVENLY SIGN
.
.
.
.
.
“And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman…
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…
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, 15
.
.
.
.
.
THE FLOODWATERS OF THE REVELATION 12 DRAGON…
.
The Wave Constellation is primarily comprised of the Auriga Constellationplus one star from Taurus, plus one more star.
.
The Winter Constellations are depicted in this below sketch to the right and shows this constellation group as they are seen in early winter, as they rise in the eastern skies.
.
The Woman is in the north.
.
The Dragon and Orion are farther south from the Woman.
.
(Editor’s note: It is impossible to make this chart accurate, and visually correct, because the dome effect of the sky makes these constellations look different than they appear when placed on flat paper.)
Well, in Hislop’s great work, “The Two Babylons”, he documented that name back to ancient pagans who called their Trident fish-god by the name, “The Trinity”.
.
So once again, the apostate churches of yesteryear, brought in a pagan name from the ancient cultures, incorporating it into Christianity.
And now, that paganistic name, “The Trinity” is so beloved and exalted within today’s Babylonish churches…
.
…that whosoever dares to criticize this most “revered name”, is often censured and sometimes even regarded as being an abject infidel and heretic!
.
So right here, the heresy already begins as this non-biblical name, such as “The Trinity”, becomes a test for one’s fidelity/infidelity to being a true Christian!
Now, as already stated, the concept behind the correct God-given name, The Godhead, is that there are three separate and divine personages, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
.
No argument with that!
.
That’s what Scripture reveals!
.
But then, to presumptuously surmise that we can, “help God out”, by concocting our own name for something which has already been named by God is sheer madness and folly!
Well, in answer to that question, let’s take a theological name for some Bible truth, which is NOT so well-beloved by today’s so-called orthodox churches.
.
Let’s take the name, “Soul-Sleep”.
.
Now, “Soul-Sleep” is never ever found in the Bible.
.
But it merely refers to the “Sleep” spoken of many times in Scripture, when a person dies…
…”And many of them that SLEEP in the dust of the earth
shall AWAKE,
some to everlasting life,
and some to shame and everlasting contempt.”
Daniel 12:2
.
And so, the Bible quite often refers to those who have died as “sleeping”, and who will eventually “awake”.
.
And, because the physical body will eventually return to the dust, this term, “sleep”, must be referring to the soul, as it sleeps until it is raised up, “at the last day” John 6:40
But because some theologians have concocted the term, “Soul-Sleep”, this has created division in the Church.
.
And opponents of the idea that the dead are “sleep(ing) in the dust of the earth”, throw this non-biblical name right back in the face of those who use that term, “soul-sleep” to describe the dead.
.
And by so-doing, these opponents of “soul-sleep” reveal their own utter hypocrisy, while criticizing the inventors of the name “soul-sleep”, while at the same time clinging to such unbiblical names as, “The Trinity”!
.
.
.
.
.
ERRORS EMPOWER SATAN
.
And let’s face it! Satan has used this erroneous name, “The Trinity” to empower some of the so-called, “cults”, who correctly point out the folly of this ancient pagan name for the trident gods!
.
And thus, Satan takes full advantage of our doctrinal errors, and uses them to give credence to these false gospels, resulting in much division and much confusion in the church-world!
“He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.”
Luke 16:10
.
And one last reason for not using this term, “The Trinity”.
.
It has opened the door for other unbiblical names to be invented!
.
It sets a bad example for more and more occurrences of this same folly!
.
This above proverb spoken by Jesus, lays down the following principle: that unfaithfulness in the smallest of matters will result in unfaithfulness in many things!
.
And with just one glance at today’s church-world, it becomes apparent that it has accepted many other unbiblical doctrines and non-biblical terminology over the past decades and centuries!
.
This is the wine of Babylon! This is the poisonous wine of her false doctrines!
Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Daily Devotional, Year 2 – DECEMBER 13 (Come Out of Her, My People! Part 29: “So What’s Wrong With The “Trinity”!?!”)
Yes, this world is neck-deep in the great spiritual conflict of the ages, between two opposing armies: the armies of God, and the armies of Lucifer, who became the enemy of God.
.
So, what’s all this talk about peace and safety?
.
Well, to put it concisely, it’s just a big fat lie, perpetrated by the Father of Lies, Lucifer, who became the Devil, and Satan.
But the Devil has been working through his current-day prosperity-driven gospels to convince Christians that God wants them to have a nice, happy and peaceful life here on earth.
.
And yet, the fact is, God has called us to be soldiers in His army, to fight against the forces of evil on earth!
.
Listen to Paul’s declaration…
…”For when they shall say, Peace and safety;
then sudden destruction cometh upon them,
as travail upon a woman with child;
and they shall not escape.”
1st Thessalonians 5:3
.
So here is seen that peace and safety in this world is not an option.
And certainly, the Christian can live in total safety in Jesus.
.
But that kind of heavenly peace and safety will be experienced even in the midst of the battle!
.
But the Christian must get rid of the notion that we are going to live a nice little peaceful existence in this world of selfish desires and ambitious pursuits.
.
Yes, the Devil has made it his mission to make life extremely difficult for every true son or daughter of God.
2nd Corinthians 6:14 says, “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers…”
.
For instance, many church-going singles end up marrying a spouse who has little love for the Bible and even less desire to follow the counsels therein! 
.
And so, many young couples start off in life with less-than-optimal conditions for raising God-loving children.
.
Because invariably, the nominal Christian spouse will want as much of this selfish world as possible, thus bringing up children who will likewise love this Babylonian world!
Another key ingredient to raising up little Babylonians can be observed by the incredibly high percent of Christian children who attend public schools.
.
These schools have been greatly turned into indoctrination centers in which children are filled up with worldly ideals and philosophies…
…ignorance of church history…
…atheism…
…perverted lifestyles…
…books on witchcraft, etc….
…socialism…
…eastern religions…
…and other similar ideologies are beginning to be freely taught to Christian children in today’s public schools.
(And now even hateful racism is the lens which many schools teach through!)
.
Oh yes, there may be many fine and dedicated teachers!
.
But “the god of this world”, Satan is not derelict in his tireless efforts to wipe away every trace of love for the Bible out of the hearts of Christian children!
And even those few parents who can afford to send their children to a private Christian school, might be dismayed.
.
Secular music, sensual dancing, sports, secular conversation, and secular lifestyles, are used as a means of “staying relevant”, only further indoctrinates young people into a secular mind-set.
.
And even if they wanted to keep it Christian, the secular government (and societal peer-pressure) is demanding more and more secular requirements, leaving little time in the school-day for Bible study.
Now, if all this is not bad enough, young children come home from this quasi-Christian education in which the big screen TV is placed in the prominent place of that home.
.
A recent survey found that “active Christians who attend church each week”watch over 3 hours of television per day!
.
Now just imagine if those same parents spent those 3 hours studying their Bibles each day!
.
Then there would be no need for scathing devotionals to be written!
.
We would have a Church full of Apostle Pauls!
.
But instead, we have a Church of which Christ warns, “I will spew the out of My mouth!” Revelation 3:16
.
.
.
.
.
MINGLING WITH UNBELIEVERS
.
Now, the next ingredient, which is commonly found in Christianity today, is for parents to let their children play with secular children after school.
.
Talk about getting a street education!
.
Listen to Paul…“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers:
for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness?
Wherefore come out from among them,
and be ye separate, saith the Lord,
and touch not the unclean thing;
and I will receive you,”
2nd Corinthians 6:14, 17
.
As this above passage promises, by separating ourselves from unbelievers, God will begin to treat us as His children!
“And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord”
Ephesians 6:4
.
An integral part of counteracting the overflowing tide of evil in this fallen world, is for parents to make every effort to reflect the loving ways of Jesus to our children.
.
In simpler terms, we must make sure to live with our family in such a way as to show them that Heaven is a place of joy!
.
And the parents need to show much heavenly love for our children.
.
Whether engaging them in their little games and sports, or hugging them often, or just making life in the home nice and breezy.
.
This is an integral part of what it means to “bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord”

TODAY’S HEAVENLY SIGN
.
.
GOD’S PEOPLE TAKEN CAPTIVE
.
“And I heard another voice from heaven,
saying, Come out of her (Babylon), My people,
that ye be not partakers of her sins,
and that ye receive not of her plagues.”
Revelation 18:4
.
God has a people in Babylon. .
Yes, Mystery Babylon is the Mother of Harlots.
.
The sketch to the left shows her riding this beast with 7 heads and 10 horns.
.
But in that spiritual city, there are those who still love God to a certain degree.
.
And before the final plagues are poured out upon her, God has been and will continue to call His people out of her…
…“And I heard another voice from heaven,
saying, Come out of her (Babylon), My people,
that ye be not partakers of her sins,
and that ye receive not of her plagues.”
Revelation 18:4
.
And so in addition to The Pleiades appearing as the Harlot Mother, we also see this second depiction of The Pleiades as an angel, which symbolizes God’s people, walking the downward pathway to destruction.
.
They must be called out of Babylon before it’s too late!

Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Daily Devotional, Year 2 – DECEMBER 11 (Come Out of Her, My People! Part 28: “How To Raise Up Good Little Babylonians!”)
Now, back in the 1960’s, a wacky comedy was created, which became a big hit movie on the “silver screens” around the world…“It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World!”
.
Well, this carefree comedy was a great way of escaping the often-grim realities of this truly, “Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World”, for several hours!
.
And in this respect, that “feel-good” Hollywood movie makes a somewhat appropriate introduction to today’s devotional…
and madness (raging insanity) is in their heart while they live,
and after that they go to the dead.”
Ecclesiastes 9:3
.
This above verse from the final summation of life from Solomon’s pen, the Book of Ecclesiastes, makes this same pronouncement several times, namely, that this is a world full of madness (insanity).
.
Oh no, not just the mental institutions! But this entire, crazy world!
But are we so confident that we are wise enough to pick through all those thousands of erroneous ideas and miraculously choose the one correct philosophy or religion?
.
That in itself is actually a totally crazy notion, if we really think about it!
.
After all, what if I am wrong?
.
What if I choose the wrong religion?
.
What if my chosen philosophy turns out to be just proverbial, “hogwash”, as the saying goes? Then what?
.
“Well, I’ll just die. So it won’t matter if I was wrong”, many will say in answer to these questions.
.
So isn’t this also a form of madness?
.
.
.
.
.
.
A WORLD OF MEANINGLESS PURSUITS
.
And the unseen Enemy of Souls has filled this world to the brim with every conceivable selfish pursuit: ambitious and proud careers, unlimited sports games and amusements, time-consuming and thought-absorbing hobbies…etc, etc….
.
He wants to keep us so busy, that we place eternity on the proverbial “back-burner!
In every nation, and in every city, and in every village, and in every neighborhood, there exists a fountain.
.
And both day and night, this fountain is constantly flowing with a miraculous spiritual water…
.
…in which, if a person drinks, truly drinks of that “fountain of the water of life”, they will live forever; forever in a world of joy and laughter, and singing, where we will be forever young! Revelation 21:6
“But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give…shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.”
John 4:14 (Condensed)
.
And every person instinctively knows of that fountain.
.
Their conscience tells them so!
.
But they all refuse to drink! Every last man, woman, and child refuse to drink!
.
Oh, deep down, they know it’s there!
.
But they are afraid to drink!
.
Somehow, the “god of this world” has poisoned their minds, so that they actually think that drinking from this fountain will somehow spoil all their fun!
The editor of this site has sketched in the Flower of the Field Constellation on this constellation commonly referred to as the Scorpio Constellation (plus a few other close-by bright stars).
.
Do you see the long blade of grass growing from the base of the Flower of the Field?
.
This is made of the two highest stars of the Lupus Constellation, and the two lowest stars of the Libra Constellation.

The fact is, it is no big secret that we are living in a very sexualized society.
.
And much of the music today is very sensual.
.
And all too often, Christian lyrics are added to sensual music.
.
One noticeable technique heard in much of today’s Christian music, is when the vocalist pushes air through his or her voice to achieve a sort of, “sensual bedroom voice”.
.
And so, in such cases, there is no attempt to imitate Christ, but more often than not, to imitate the world!
“…he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new”
2nd Corinthians 5:17
.
And for those of us who have grown up listening to the raw and carnal music of the world, there will be seen a metamorphosis to a music genre which the world would not touch with the proverbial, “ten-foot pole”!
.
But this should not surprise us.
.
After all, our life has been dedicated to surrendering our selfish and carnal nature to Christ, so that His holiness will replace our former carnal desires.
But the really wonderful Good News is that every true Believer rejoices whenever he or she can lay down some cherished idol on the altar for Christ!
.
And with each and every spiritual sacrifice, the more that the Christian’s life will reveal that Christ is living within!
.
And his or her godly example will be an inspiration to others, as they behold their changed life!
.

TODAY’S PRAYER…
“Dear Lord, Please put in my heart the burning desire to become like Jesus in every way. Let this desire manifest itself in all that I do, and all that I surround myself within…

FROM WHERE & TO WHERE DOES SHE FLEE?

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.
.
It is seen 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 (eventually flying, as shown in sketch on right) into the wilderness (westward).

There is a general consensus in today’s Christian community, which says… “Oh we LOVE the Bible! And my church teaches right out of it every week! Nothing else, but the Bible!”
.
Well, this testimony is very commonly heard echoing through the not-so-hallowed-halls of today’s so-called “orthodoxy” in Christendom.
But while churchgoers say these things, statistics show that just the opposite is true!
.
For instance, surveys reveal that the phrase, “God loves those who help themselves” is commonly thought to be a verse from the Bible, by many current-day churchgoers.
.

.
NO VIRGIN BIRTH OR 6-DAY CREATION?
.
And other surveys reveal that a large portion of pastors do not believe in the literal 6-day Creation!
.
Nor do many pastors believe in the “Virgin Birth” of Jesus! (But there may be many other pastors who do believe).
There are many Bible teachers who do not believe that Ecclesiastes, nor portions of the Book of Job are to be trusted for “doctrine, confirmation, correction, and instruction in righteousness”. 2nd Timothy 3:16
Jesus spoke through the man, Job, saying, “I have esteemed the words of His (God’s) mouth more than my necessary food.” Job 23:12
.
Yes, not only were these the sentiments of Job, but also of Jeremiah, Paul, and most all other Bible heroes.
.
It is reported that during his years as a theologian, Martin Luther even loathed the minutes he had to put down his Bible, to eat his meals!
.
So then, how can we boast that old mantra, “Sola Scriptura”, and at the same time, entangle and pollute our hearts with the words and affairs of unsaved men, via our various high-tech devices? So sad!
The fact is, there are many passages in the Bible which are very unpopular truths!
.
For instance, the Apostle Paul said…
“For we brought nothing into this world,
and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
And having food and raiment
let us be therewith content.”
1st Timothy 6:7, 8
.
Now really! Just how much of today’s churches teach this very inconvenient truth?
.
But the sad fact is, that it is perhaps one of the most ignored of all New Testament passages in a day in which earthly mammon is so available and very affordable!
But those who rejoice whenever they can give up some little cherished idol, for the sake of becoming more like Jesus, will joyfully hear this message and, “Come out of her, My people!”
.
And those who truly love the Bible, even though it says many things which require them to trade away this present world, will gladly hear this clarion call!
.
And God’s true Church will shine like the brightness of the Sun, in that Day. And they will shine with the brightness of Jesus to a world that has rebelled against God’s Word!
And so, let us each begin to use the remaining time on earth, to beg for the grace to joyfully and enthusiastically pursue our Salvation as the precious jewel that it truly is!

Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Daily Devotional, Year 2 – DECEMBER 7 (Come Out of Her, My People! Part 27: “Oh Yes, I’m A ‘Sola-Scriptura!’ Christian!”)
In the Book of Job (pronounced with a long, “o”), the Devil had brought Job down to a wretched condition in hopes of getting Job to curse God.
.
But though Job’s trials were far greater than most of us have had to endure, Job remained faithful to God, exclaiming the following…“Though He (God) slay me, yet will I trust in Him:” Job 13:15
.
Though, this above verse is only ten words, it has been a giant encouragement to many thousands, through the ages!
In that well-known parable In Luke 15:11-32, it tells of a wayward son who only returned back to his father’s house when all his other options ran out!
.
And only in his misery and affliction was he inspired to go back and become an obedient son.
And if our chastening comes in the form of great illness, we must ask for the grace to have the same degree of faith that Paul had…
…”Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities,
in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions,
in distresses for Christ’s sake:
for when I am weak, then am I strong.”
2nd Corinthians 12:10
.
Wow! What an attitude! Paul actually took pleasure in his own infirmities!
.
And we must plead for this same unwavering faith, so that we also might take pleasure in our own personal infirmities, knowing it is for both our temporal and eternal benefit!
I didn’t understand all that Ephesians 6 was talking about.“What does it mean to put on ‘the breast plate of righteousness'”?
.
This was very puzzling to me… “How does a person just put something like that on?”
.
This was a concept above my comprehension.
. “And how does a person ‘put on the helmet of salvation'”, I thought to myself…“especially while Satan is condemning and accusing every moment?”
. “And how do you put on the shoes, with the gospel of peace’?” I couldn’t understand these concepts. I was too new in the faith.
. ONE CONCEPT THAT DID MAKE SENSE…
.
But there was one thing I could understand.
.
I knew what it meant to take the “sword of the spirit, which is the word of God”.
.
Now that I got! Read the Bible!
.
That’s a simple concept!
.
Yeah!
.
The sketch above is Orion the Soldier and the Dragon of Revelation 12. They begin to rise in the east in the fall and gradually move westward, finally sinking in the west in the spring. Find Orion first. Look for his 3-star belt. Then find the 4 bright stars of his shoulders and feet. Then locate the Dragon’s mouth (AKA Hyades).

Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Daily Devotional, Year 2 – DECEMBER 6 (In Every Thing Give Thanks!?! Part 6: “Though He Slay Me, Yet I Will Trust Him”)
There was a box-office blockbuster movie in which the phrase, “You can’t handle the truth!” quickly became a much repeated one, used in all sorts of various everyday situations.
.
And as with so much of what the unsaved world does, says, and creates, this phrase, too, can also be translated into a heavenly reality.
“They have not known nor understood: for He (God) hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand”
Isaiah 44:8
.
You see, just like the civilians in that movie could not understand, nor tolerate the innerworkings of the military, so too, this world’s unsaved citizenry cannot understand, nor can they tolerate the things of Heaven!
.
Okay, so maybe this is a poor comparison, since the commander in the movie was allowing and justifying sinful actions.
.
But the fact is, there are so many truths which are “hard to swallow”, as the expression goes.
“And as he (Paul) reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, ‘Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee'”
Acts 24:25
.
One major stumbling block is because the Bible describes the unsaved as…“having no hope, and without God in the world”. Ephesians 2:12
.
Yes, without the assurance of everlasting life, the subject of death and eternal judgment is just too difficult for unbelievers, as well as many professing believers who may be faithful church-attendees but have never truly received Salvation.
“Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.”
Psalm 16:11
.
Another major stumbling block for most is that the Gospel, the true Gospel just seems much too bleak and austere!
.
They look at the self-denying lifestyle of true Believers and shutter at the thought of giving up so many worldly idols, such as television, partying, and all the other selfish pleasures and ambitions which Christians shun.
.
Another truth which the world can’t handle, is living a life of prayer, faith, holiness, and Bible study/contemplation.
.
The world has no taste for such things, nor do they understand that the indwelling Spirit of Holiness gives peace, joy, and pleasure like an ever-flowing river to Christians.

.
.
.
.
.
.
“The world cannot hate you (the unsaved); but Me (Jesus) it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil”
John 7:7
.
Still another truth which they can’t handle is to realize that Christ condemned this world, the only world that unbelievers know!
.
And so, when they perceive that Christians anxiously wait for, and live for the world-to-come, it’s often more than they can handle.
But the extremely Good News is, that for all those who are being saved, the Spirit of Holiness does indeed, indwell them, filling them with joy, peace, and love for all those daily duties!
.
But even more wonderful, that same Spirit gives an ever-increasing christlike love, sympathy, and understanding for the lost souls of this hopeless world.
.
Christians everywhere are crying out daily, that those lost souls too, might also know and love the truth, which shall set them free from their bondage to sin, suffering, and hopelessness!
“Dear Lord, Please give me that ever-increasing joy, peace, love, and faith to walk by Your “exceeding great and precious promises” found throughout Your infallible Word of Truth…

“Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion:
for I will make thine horn iron,
and I will make thy hoofs brass:
and thou shalt beat in pieces many people:
and I will consecrate their gain unto the LORD,
and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.”

THIS STAR-CHART:Notice how the right front hoof is trampling on the tail of the Dragon. Also notice his eye is a star.
.
It’s best seen when in the western half of the sky.
.
It is found in mid-sky traveling from east to west.
.
In January, it is in the west after midnight.
.
As winter progresses, it can be seen earlier and earlier in the evening.
.
A dark sky with good star-visibility is best, but not absolutely necessary to see this constellation.
.
It is found on the opposite side of the Dragon Constellation from Orion.
.
And as already stated, this Glorious 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.

EXCERPTS FROM THE OPEN FORUM QUESTION/ANSWER RADIO TALK-SHOW…
.
ALL ‘NOBLE BEREANS’ (open-minded seekers of Bible truth) are invited to listen to this Open Forum #23, a small 30 minute sampling of the late Harold Camping’s nearly 50 year-long series of 90 minute nightly talk shows…
“…they that are unlearned and unstable wrest (wrestle), as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction”
2nd Peter 3:16
.
Today’s Bible teachers and theologians try their best to deny and cover up the fact that historical records give Cyrus I. Scofield credit for popularizing this false doctrine of the “Pre-Tribulation Rapture”.
.
And they likewise cover up the fact that this heresy was most likely originated by another 19th-century false Bible teacher, one John Darby of The Plymouth Brethren sect.
“In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed”
1st Corinthians 15:52
.
The host of a popular radio Bible call-in question/answer talk show, was asked the following question: “When it says that the Lord shall return “at the last trumpet”, how can this possibly be speaking of a so-called Pre-Tribulation Rapture?”
Now, Matthew 24 is definitely revealing “the last trumpet!”
.
Listen…“Immediately AFTER the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened,
and the moon shall not give her light,
and the stars shall fall from heaven,
and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven:
and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn,
and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven
with power and great glory.
And HE SHALL SEND HIS ANGELS WITH A GREAT SOUND OF A TRUMPET,
and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds,
from one end of heaven to the other.”
Matthew 24:29-31
.
This is speaking of Christ’s return “AFTER the tribulation of those days”!
.
But those who insist on a so-called “Pre-Tribulation Rapture” must do amazing gymnastics in attempt to wrestle that trumpet out of Christ’s handwhich He blows on “the last day”.
(John 6:39, 40, 44, 54 all speak of the resurrection happening on “the Last Day”)
.
.
.
.
.
GOING TO OUTSIDE SOURCES
.
This talk-show host, who constantly affirms his faith in, “the Bible only”, and in the infallibility of the Bible, did some “double-speak” and incredible gymnastics to speak of “other trumpets”.
“…they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.”
2nd Peter 3:16
.
God warns us that Bible teachers might try to wrestle with Scripture to justify false doctrines!
.
And Scofield and Darby, along with many current-day Bible teachers, are guilty of wrestling away the truth in exchange for a lie!

Therefore, if you, dear soul, have been listening to those who are lulling the Church into a false sense of securit…
.
…by teaching such heretical doctrines as the “Pre-Tribulation Rapture”, you really need to shut them off and start studying the Bible for your own self!
.
Hide God’s precious promises in your heart!

There is an old saying in Christendom, which goes something like this…“If you lived on a deserted island, and a King James Bible washed ashore, would you be able to prove your favorite church-doctrines?”
.
Well, this analogy has a certain amount of merit.
.
After all, there are many different church-doctrines blowing in the wind these days!
.
And so, it might be well for the Christian to begin to examine the Bible with fresh eyes!
.
You know! As if we were on a deserted island!
.
Without any pre-conceived notions about the Bible!
Perhaps it was the Dutch Reformed Church who decided to take John Calvin’s interpretations on the nature of grace, as it applies to Salvation, and came up with the acronym, “T.U.L.I.P.”.
.
Yes, this clever little acronym stands for the so-called “5 points of Calvinism”:
Total depravity,
Unconditional Election,
Limited Atonement,
Irresistible Grace,
Perseverance of the Saints (also known as, Once Saved Always Saved)
Well, it was Calvin’s realization that if Christ indeed paid for all the sins of each and every human, then their sins were paid for!
.
In other words, if a man’s sins were atoned for by Christ’s blood shed on the Cross, then those sins were nailed to the Cross.
.
And thus, Calvin continued his reasoning, that if the greater portion of Mankind will spend eternity in Hell for their sins, then how could their sins be paid for? “That just doesn’t make sense!”, or so Calvin concluded!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
“WE KNOW IN PART & PROPHESY IN PART”
1st Corinthians 13:9
.
What Calvin neglected to realize is, that God is infinite, and His Word is likewise infinite!
.
And while Calvin was a very intelligent guy, he was by no means as smart as God!
.
Nor did Calvin understand everything in Scripture!
.
Yes, perhaps Calvin was not aware of a yet undiscovered Bible truth!
.
.
.
.
.
.
“CALVINISM”: AN ARMENIAN’S “STRAW-MAN” & “SCARLET-LETTER”!
.
Now, at the other end of theological fanaticism are those who are followers of Jacobus Arminius, who ardently taught the false church-doctrine known as “Free-will Salvation”!
.
And this popular notion, that God looked down through the corridors of time, and saved all those whose hearts would choose to follow Jesus.
.
Thus, God saves all those “possessing some spark of inherent goodness”, is widely taught today!
.
And on and on this 400+ year debate has continued!
.

.
.
.
.
MATTERS TOO GREAT!
.
But let’s just be meek and humble enough to admit that we don’t quite understand everything in the Bible!
.
Doesn’t that sound reasonable?
.
After all, even the great David confessed…
…”LORD, my heart is not haughty,
nor mine eyes lofty:
neither do I exercise myself in great matters,
or in things too high for me….”
Psalm 131:1
.
And so, if David was content to refrain from matters too high for his understanding, how much more should we be willing to do the same?
One thing is for certain, on the soon-coming Day when we will all be standing before the Throne of the Almighty Judge, all our questions will then be answered!
.
So, in the meanwhile, let’s just behave and quiet ourselves, even as a little child!
.
Perhaps this last verse really sums up this little discussion…
…”The secret things belong unto the LORD our God:
but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever,
that we may do all the words of this law.”
Deuteronomy 29:29

HEAVENLY OBJECT LESSON
.
So, as the Moon must reflect the light of the Sun, in order to be a light to the world…
.
…so also must the Christian reflect the light of Jesus, to be a spiritual light to this planet in rebellion.
Listen…“Ye are the light of the world…
Let your light so shine before men,
that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”
Matthew 5:14-16
.
However, during an eclipse, the Earth passes directly between the Sun and the Moon, preventing that sunlight from shining on the Moon’s face.
.
This is an incredible object-lesson about when the child of God allows the world to come between him and his Lord.
.
Like the eclipse, that person no longer reflects the light of Jesus, because his or her love of this dark world of sin has eclipsed the light from the“Sun of Righteousness” (see Malachi 4:2).
.
And so, this is just one of the many poetic truths seen in the Moon.

Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Daily Devotional, Year 2 – DECEMBER 3 (Deserted Island Theologian, Part 4: “Rethinking John Calvin on Limited Atonement”)
And the main tenet of this so-called Pre-Tribulation Rapture, is that God’s faithful Elect will disappear just prior to a 7-year period of tribulation.
.
One moment they will be here. And the next moment they will simply disappear, while everyone else must carry on with apocalyptic events.
The Pre-Tribulation Rapture is the “ultimate house-of-cards”, as the saying goes!
.
And this is what makes it a house of cards: if you take away this theologian-contrived name, “The Rapture”, this entire house-of-cards comes tumbling to the ground!
.
Because, once a Christian gets back to the Bible and the Bible only, the name, “The Rapture”, must be discarded!
You see, the name, “The Rapture” was used by Cyrus Scofield (coined perhaps, by John Darby) to prop up the false doctrine of two separate Returns of Christ.
.
And the very place in the Bible that he went, to concoct this name was in 1st Thessalonians 4:15-17…
…”For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord…
that we which are alive and remain unto THE COMING OF THE LORD…
shall be CAUGHT UP together with them in the clouds,
to meet the Lord in the air:
and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”
(Condensed for brevity)
.
So, the proper name of this event here IS NOT “caught up”, but rather, “The Coming of the Lord”!
“Because thou hast kept the word of My patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.”
Revelation 3:10
.
One problem is that this above promise was made to a church which existed back in the 1st Century A.D.!
.
And so, did God Rapture that 1st century church out of the world?
.
Absolutely no mention of that anywhere in the Bible!
.
Well, then, how did God fulfill His promise to, “keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world?”
.
Obviously, God eventually took them all in death, as is written…
“none considering that the righteous is taken away
from the evil to come.”
Isaiah 57:1
.
Yes, in all ages, God has taken away the merciful men in death, to spare them, “from the evil to come!”
Now is there any other way in which God keeps His people from the wrath to come?
.
Oh yes, just look how God poured out His bowls of wrath upon the Egyptians just prior to the Exodus but kept the children of Israel from those plagues!
.
Did God Rapture them away?
.
Oh no! But God did spare His people from those plagues, simply by causing those plagues to fall all around them, but not on them!

No, this rest unto your soul that Jesus offers, is found when the weary one begins to sit at the feet of Jesus and listen to His life-giving words and to His heavenly wisdom…
.
…the wisdom that is found only in the pages of the Bible!
.
And the more we know about Jesus, the more wonderful will be our rest, like an ever-flowing fount of peaceful waters!
.
Of course, this kind of peace can only be supernaturally provided by the indwelling of the Spirit of Christ.
But those who turn to wine for refreshment, will wake up in the morning with a bit of a bad temperament
(like this hung-over likeness of a city magistrate, whose browbeaten construction employees mockingly fashioned his grouchy “morning-after” likeness onto the side of a new building.)
.
And those who while-away the night-hours over some TV show or intriguing book, will eventually find those earthy images and that worldly wisdom have all but choked out the pure words of God, that once graced the walls of their heart!

Well, to start with, our signature Bible passage for today presents a truth that affects and determines which Jesus we preach to others…
.
Listen to the fiery words of Jesus, recorded in Matthew’s Gospel…
…”O generation of vipers,
how can ye, being evil, speak good things?
for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
A good man out of the good treasure of the heart
bringeth forth good things:
and an evil man out of the evil treasure
bringeth forth evil things.”
Matthew 12:34-36
.
Herein is revealed a great error, that what we fill up our hearts with during our daily lives, will ultimately come gushing forth, when conversing with others!

A WALKING/TALKING NEWSREEL!
.
For example, if I allow myself to become a “News-Junkie”, and begin to gobble up every little news tidbit, each and every day…
.
…well, guess what will come gushing forth in my conversation with others?
.
That’s right! I will become a walking/talking news gossip!
“Let your conversation (lifestyle) be without covetousness!”
.
If I allow the things of the world, the riches and pleasures of this life, to absorb my everyday thoughts, then that is what is being treasured up in my heart!
.
Listen…“Let your conversation (daily lifestyle)
be without covetousness;
and be content with such things as ye have:
for He hath said, I will never leave thee,
nor forsake thee.”
Hebrews 13:5.
.
Yes, to really present the true Jesus to the world, our words and our lifestyle must be free of all love for earthly treasures and worldly pleasures!

THE GOOD NEWS!

Well, the Good News is, there is still time to correct such un-Christlike behavior!
.
Yes, there is still time to empty out the treasure-chest of our heart of all the evil things, and refill it with the good things, spoken of in our signature verses, from Matthew 12:34-36!

“For we wrestle…against…spiritual wickedness in high places.”
Ephesians 6:14-17
.
QUESTION: What do these people all have in common, besides having their obsessive thoughts?
.
ANSWER: These people are all being attacked by unseen spiritual entities.
.
Yes, whether we know it or not, like it or not, this present world is ruled over by spiritual beings who, long ago rebelled against God, thus leaving their first estate (Jude 1:6).
.
And in their warfare against God’s universal government, they have created this Antichrist world-system of which we are all a part of, to one degree or another.
.
And the leader of this rebellion is now the commander of his vast unseen armies, working their various woes and deceptions on earth’s inhabitants.
And especially in this day in which psychology and psychiatry are dominant world ideologies…
.
…it is to Satan’s advantage to plague mankind with many obsessive thoughts and lusts and desires…
.
…some desires seemingly good, while other thoughts being overtly evil and dangerous.
.
Yes, mankind is constantly plagued by that “prince of the power of the air, that spirit which now worketh in the children of disobedience.” 2nd Corinthians 4:4

TODAY’S HEAVENLY SIGN
.
.
.
LOOSING THE BANDS OF ORION
.
God spoke several times of Orion, in Scripture.
.
His question to Job was a very mystifying question, to say the least… “Canst thou…loose the bands of Orion?” Job 38:31.
.
Such a strange question, indeed!
.
How could a constellation have its bands loosed, much less, even have bands? Puzzling, puzzling!
.
But now, He is revealing this bright and beautiful constellation in a way that has never before been seen. God Himself is loosing Orion’s bands, as He is just now unraveling this age-old mystery.
.
And we are beginning to understand that this most infamous of all constellations is nothing less than a remarkable metaphor concerning Jesus.
.
THE 5 OFFICES OF ORION
.
But like most of the other Signs which this website reveals, Orion too, has much more to say as he changes his position in the sky.
.
And this Soldier in the Heavens puts on different garb, as he presents the five awesome aspects of his various offices.

It seems as though the world is quite often doing exactly the opposite of what they should be doing!
.
For instance, in a day in which the world is standing on the verge of Eternal Judgment, a popular clothing line comes out with the logo, “NO FEAR”.
.
Now perhaps the creators of this line of clothing had no intention of snubbing their nose at that fearful day in which God will judge the secrets of men’s hearts.
“Therefore pride compasseth them (the wicked) about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment. Their eyes stand out with fatness:…they speak loftily…”
Psalm 73:6, 7, 8 (condensed)
.
But all this selfish pride is seen all over the place!
.
A veritable pandemic of arrogant pride!
.
For example, just look at all the movies which Hollywood puts out each year!
.
From the action hero movies to the little children’s cartoons, we have boldness, defiance, and fearlessness pumped into our brains…
.
…all these coming straight out of the smokestacks of Hollywood’s movie-making industry (and also the music industry)!

.
.
.
.
.
SOCIAL MEDIA
.
And what about social media?!
.
It’s almost unbelievable to see how social media is constantly pushing foolish arrogant pride upon its viewers!
.
And how about the mob violence created by social media!
.
That form of violence, too, is largely borne of pride!
But certainly, in this very fragile and uncertain world, having a healthy fear would only seem like a prudent and reasonable attitude to maintain!
.
From poisonous plants to vicious animals, to deadly diseases, to dangerous places, to violent and overtly evil people, there are dangers awaiting us, literally everywhere!
But the problem is, which one of us can claim to have perfect love for God?
.
After all, sin and selfishness is the very essence of rebellion against God’s Law!
.
And so, for those of us who are still so neck-deep in selfishness, to claim to have such perfect love which “casteth out all fear”, is more than just a bit presumptuous, wouldn’t you agree?
.
.
.
.
.
COMPARING SCRIPTURE WITH SCRIPTURE
.
But even if our love was much more perfect than it presently is, there are many other passages which give us a more well-rounded understanding of our proper relationship to God…
.
Listen…“My flesh trembleth for fear of Thee; and I am afraid of Thy judgments.” Psalm 119:120
.
And any rational Christian would be foolish to reject this above counsel, while clinging only to 1st John 4:18.

Well, if we really think about it, this entire fallen world has been designed to be, “the school of hard knocks!”
.
Yes, when Mankind rebelled against Heaven’s government, God has allowed us to continue on in this rebellious world as a means of learning the hard way: to discover that God’s ways are the right ways!
.
And conversely, we learn that Man’s ways will eventually only bring trouble, heartache and ultimately, destruction!
And all we have to do, is to look back in history, and it is clearly seen just what are the devastating results of spurning the wise counsels found in the Bible.
.
Yes, history is literally teeming with one human tragedy after another!
.
Just look at all the wars, and famines, and crimes, and atrocities which have filled the pages of our history books!
(unfortunately, many of today’s school systems have decided that teaching history is detrimental to pushing their socialist/atheist philosophies, and have greatly reduced history classes or have revised and censored some history, so as to promote their totalitarian political/social agendas.)
Truly it can be said with “tongue-in-cheek”, that this world is the “Knockshard University” of the universe!
.
This tiny ball of rebellious dust called, Planet Earth, is the one place in all the vast starry heavens which has decided that we know better than God!
.
And as one now-deceased songster so appropriately crooned, “I did it my way!”
.
Yes, we erring humans can all say “Amen” to those words: “we did it our way!”
.
And so, instead of completely wiping us out, God in His wisdom has decided to allow Mankind to live and work and carry on in our rebellious ways.
.
And by this means, Mankind will hopefully learn our tough lessons as we attend, “Knockshard University”, this poor old miserable Planet Earth!
This is why God doesn’t take away all the disastrous and heart-wrenching results of our folly!
.
He is our Heavenly Father! And just as any loving parent would do when a child refuses to listen, God has allowed us to burn our fingers, so as to finally understand why He warns, “Don’t touch that hot stove!”

Beside being a marvel of functionality, the human hand teaches us lessons.
.
And even this unbelieving world sees the truth about finger-pointing.
.
And that lesson is, that when a person points the accusing finger at another, then there are three other fingers on his hand, which point right back to the accuser!
With such an indictment as this above verse points out, how can we still point the accusing finger at any one individual?
.
Yes, whenever we point the accusing finger at somebody else, there are indeed, three fingers pointing back at us!
.
And of course, the number “three” is the very number of the Godhead, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
.
.
.

.
OLD TESTAMENT, REVELATION FOR JEWS
.
When reading the Bible, there are so many stories which seem to have very little relevance to New Testament Believers.
.
After all, what does the Book of Job have to do with me, or with the Church?
.
Or who cares about some of the almost confusing language found in the books of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Zechariah and the other books.
.
But we are told that those prophecies were for the Old Testament people of God.
.
And then (according to many modern-day teachers), most of the Book of Revelation is likewise written only for the Jews living during the last 7 years of earth’s history.
.
We won’t even be around (or so we are told!)“We’ll all be raptured out of the world, before the last 19 chapters of Revelation even begins to happen”, say modern-day theologians!
But what most of us do not realize is, that the Bible is a supernatural book!
.
It must be interpreted by the Holy Spirit.
.
And by such a supernatural Power-Source, it will be discovered that every jot and tittle of the Bible directly concerns both the Church, as well as the individual Christian!
.
Listen…“Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples:
and they are written for our admonition,
upon whom the ends of the world are come.”
1st Corinthians 10:11
.
Here is revealed just why the Bible was given! It is for Christians!
.
Oh yes, it was first given to the Old Testament people of God.
.
But mostly, it was not even read nor studied by those people, who greatly were illiterate.
.
It is only now at this time in history that the Bible is being more fully understood.
Listen…“All scripture is given by inspiration of God,
and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction,
for instruction in righteousness:
That the man of God may be perfect,
thoroughly furnished unto all good works.”
2nd Timothy 3:16, 17
.
So here above, God places His confirmation on all scripture, not just some.
.
And consequently, we do not need to be afraid to read any part of the Old or New Testament.
.
It is all relevant for the Christian and for the Church.
.
And as 2nd Timothy reveals, every part of Scripture is profitable for doctrine, confirmation, correction, and instruction in righteousness, “that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works!”

Yes, perhaps this last verse will be sufficient to convince the reader that having an abundance of possessions is not the way to have peace and quietness…
.
Listen once again to the “Wise Man”…
…”The sleep of a laboring man is sweet,
whether he eat little or much:
but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.”
Proverbs 5:12.
.
In other words, those of us who desire so much of the world’s riches and goods, will probably end up living WITHOUT that “perfect peace” which the Lord offers us.

Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Daily Devotional, Year 2 – NOVEMBER 24 (How To Find Perfect Peace, Part 5: “Seekest…Great Things…? Seek Them Not!”)
Well, let’s turn our attention on Ezekiel 37 for a moment…
“Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man,
and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD;
Come from the four winds, O breath,
and breathe upon these slain,
that they may live.”
Ezekiel 37:9-11
.
And in this above passage, this “son of man” was commanded to prophesy to the winds… “Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.”
And so, these wise, yet sleepy-eyed virgins, are the valley of dry bones, which are prophesied of, to be resurrected in these last moments of earth’s history.
.
They are the whole house of Israel as James puts it…“the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad” James 1:1.
.
And from reading the Book of James, it is obvious that he is writing to the Church, which he refers to as the “Twelve Tribes.”
Now just exactly how all this will play out, nobody knows for sure, except Heaven itself.
.
But it will play out! Make no mistake about that!
.
And God’s people will come from the four winds, from every quarter and from every false gospel and ideology which has held them in apostasy and spiritual bondage…
.
…and they will awaken to go forth to meet the Bridegroom!
.
Five Wise Virgins – Matt 25 – www.thebiblerevival.com – Public Domain
This above verse from Revelation 7:1, speaks of, not only four literal angels, but of all God’s people!
.
In other words, His true worshipers, numbered also with those “four angels”, are crying out to Heaven each and every day for God to hold back the winds!
.
And may this precious time be used that all may receive God’s seal in their foreheads (that is, in their hearts & minds)!
“Dear Lord, Cleanse me of my Laodicean lukewarmness, and cause me to become vigilant and sober. Help me prepare myself to stand in the evil day, now coming upon the world…

THE NARROW GATE STARS
.
This can even be observed into June in the western sky (for a short time just after dark).
.
While a dark night is best for seeing the Woman Constellation, the 4 stars which comprise the Narrow Gate/Wide Gate Stars can be seen even under mediocre conditions.
.
It begins with the Fleeing Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation (AKA Ursa Major) going towards these two doors.
.
The sketch to left shows, the two doors are each composed of two bright stars.
.
The two bright stars that comprise the Narrow Gate are the two brightest stars of the Orion the Reaper’s sickle.
.
The two stars that comprise the ‘Wide Gate’ Stars are the two brightest stars of the wave of water that comes out of theDragon Constellation’s mouth (for explanation of “Wave of Water”, just click here).
.
The stars that make up the ‘Narrow Gate’ are about half the width of the Wide Gate (see sketch to left).
.
(For more information on Orion’s sickle, just click here, “Orion The Reaper”.)

Posted in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Daily Devotional, Year 2 – NOVEMBER 22 (Revelation 7: “The Four Winds of Revelation, part 3”)
The Bible says that “companionship” speaks a lot about who we are.
.
Have you ever heard the expression, “Tell me who your friends are, and I’ll tell you who you are”?
.
The Bible asks the very same question, but in a somewhat different way… “Can two walk together, except they are in agreement?” Amos 3:3.
.
But this next verse seems to be an answer to the previous verse. Just listen… “…we…beholding…the Lord…are changed into the same image.” 2nd Corinthians 3:18.
.
This verse confirms that associating with Jesus we become in agreement with Jesus.
.
.
.
.
EVIL ASSOCIATIONS AFFECT US
.
But this principal of “who we walk with”,also works in the negative sense…
…”Be not deceived:
evil communications corrupt good manners.”
1st Corinthians 15:33.
.
By associating with bad influences, we imperceptibly begin to take on those evil attributes.
.
“Be not deceived” this last verse states.
.
Every time Scripture issues the warning, we need to realize that Satan will try to deceive us on that very point.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
HEAVENLY ROLE-MODELS or HELLISH ROLE MODELS?
.
As most everyone in the Christian community understands, the Bible uses not only Jesus, but mere mortals, such as Paul, to be role-models for Christians to admire and emulate.
.
But Lucifer, now called Satan, fully understands this, and has given us his own role-models, for us to conform to.
.
And now, with television, radio, the printed page, and high-tech devices, like never before this Master-Destroyer now projects his own selfish image to the world!
.
And as a result, they eventually begin to emulate those images in their own personal daily lives!
“(Jesus) Who being the brightness of His glory, and the express image of His person…” Hebrews 1:3
.
And speaking of images, the above verse states that Jesus, being the eternal Son of God, was the express image of God.
.
But these things concerning the Godhead are far higher than any human can understand.
.
And yet, one thing is for sure: Jesus was, and is in constant communion with the Godhead, of whom He is an integral part. Jesus and the Father and the Holy Spirit are One.
.
Now this concept brings home to each and every Believer the very same concept: “whose companion am I?Who do I admire? Who do I look up to?”
.
Here is the first object lesson.
.
Just as Jesus is one with the Godhead, so must we be one with Jesus.

MERCURY & THE 2nd COMMANDMENT
.
#2 HEAVENLY SPHERE & #2 COMMANDMENT… As discussed elsewhere in this website, the Sun seems to correspond to the First Commandment.
.
Likewise, Mercury, which is the second heavenly sphere in our solar system, seems to correspond very nicely to the Second Commandment.
.
Both the second heavenly sphere (Mercury) and the Second Commandment (no images) are closest to the ‘Sun’.
.
That is to say, just as planet Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, so is the Second Commandment right next to the First Commandment (God compares himself to the Sun many times in Scripture).

However, a certain, “old prophet”, searched for and found this man of God, while he rested along the way.
.
And the man of God refused to come back with the old prophet, to eat and drink at the prophet’s home.
.
But the old prophet lied by telling the man of God that the Lord gave the old prophet instructions for the man of God to return back to Bethel and eat and drink.
Well, the reason why this story is so frightening is because it has terrifying implications for us today!
.
Yes, together, we’ve all been guilty of partaking of this selfish world, when God has given us clear instructions to warn the world of the wrath to come, but then to get ourselves back by a different way.
.
And just what is that different way?
.
It is, of course, the upward pathway that leads us out of this doomed world, and onward and upward to the Celestial City of God!

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.

Now, it’s no big secret within the church-world, that Christians are to be indwelt by the Holy Spirit.
.
But for some reason, it seems to be a very well-guarded secret that the people of the world are indwelt by the spirit of Antichrist…
.
Yes, the Bible indeed reveals these two spirits: the spirit of truth and the spirit of error!
.
Mark of the beast – pub. dom. – Wikipedia
.
.
.
.
.
ANTICHRIST, AN INDWELLING SPIRIT
.
Now listen to this next verse from Ephesians 2:2…
…”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 works in the children of disobedience:”
.
So, here it says that it is the “prince of the power of the air” governs the course of this present, evil world.
.
Mark of the beast – pub. dom. – Wikipedia
.
.
.
.
.
VACATING BABYLON, A CHANGE OF SPIRITS
.
So then, by simple deduction, it becomes clear that coming out of spiritual Babylon is a matter of being indwelt by the “Spirit of Truth”, and not by the “spirit of error”.
.
And so, by receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit, we no longer will walk according to the course of this present world.
.
And by being indwelt by the Spirit of Christ, we will no longer be indwelt by the spirit of Antichrist, which is the spirit of this fallen, self-seeking world.
.

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY”
Proverbs 25:25
.
But amidst this disconcerting news, there exists some incredibly “Good News”!
.
Yes, there is a way of escape from the captivity of Satan’s prison-house of selfishness and delusion!
.
Any man, woman, and child may be freed from the bondage of the “spirit of error” and delivered into the liberty of “the Spirit of Truth”, found only in a genuine relationship with Jesus, the Christ.
.
Yes, those who wish to renounce this very deceptive world of evil and sadness, can begin a spiritual sojourn up the pathway to the soon-coming Promised Land, the New Heaven, and the New Earth!
.
And there we will be forever happy!
.
And forever young!

The Revelation 12 Dragon Constellation can be located by finding Orion in winter months.
.
The Dragon is to Orion’s left, and the Dragon’s mouth is right next to Orion’s shield.
.
This Dragon’s mouth is the V-like constellation The Hyades Cluster, which is also known as the head of Taurus the Bull.
.
The Dragon’s tail-tip is Pleiades and the lower shaft of his tail is partly of Ariesand Pisces.
.
Then with aid of a dark and starry night, you may begin to connect the mouth and the tail with a very long body in an oval shape.
.
The front and back legs are made of a few stars: the front legs partially of stars from Taurus .
.
The back legs and rear fin are made of 6 stars from the CetusConstellation.
.
BODY HARD TO SEE
.
The long oval-shaped body has relatively few stars, but can been seen, howbeit with a dark, starry night. The four stars of the front fins are made partially of Taurus .
