“For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD,
and He pondereth all his (Man’s) goings.
His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself,
and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins…
and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray”
Proverbs 5:21-23

As you can see in this photo, this spider quickly twirls its victim with his front four legs, until this entombed victim is now in a preserved state, to be later!
Pretty horrific!

SATAN: “THE GOD OF THIS WORLD”
2nd Corinthians 4:4
.
But the Devil is in charge of this present antichrist world system: this world of sin and selfishness!
A world-system which reflects Satan’s character: tokens of his wickedly deceptive attributes.

NATURE: A COLOSSAL PORTRAIT OF GOOD VS. EVIL
.
On the other hand, nature belongs to God!
.
And as such, God has purposely designed certain things in nature to expose the workings of Satan and his armies!
.
And that little spider wrapping its victims in a silky cocoon, teaches us a great and fearful lesson about how Satan indoctrinates us as quickly as he can!

THE SILKEN CORDS OF TELEVISION
.
Just look around at this world!
.
Just behold how this world is morphing into one great house of indoctrination, and spiritual death-camp! 
.
Take for instance, the most obvious indoctrination tool, the television (TV, Internet, radio, etc.)!
.
Having much the same qualities of Satan’s character, these high-tech devices begin indoctrinating little toddlers with seemingly innocent cartoons.
.
And yet, ever-so-gradually through time, the toddler graduates to other shows, which introduce more and more insidious evil: greed, selfishness, atheism, unbelief, fashion, violence, war, murder, revenge.
.
These are just some of the qualities of Satan.

A FORM OF GODLINESS
.
Oh yes, most programs also have a form of godliness.
.
But Satan fully understands that the best lie is always cloaked with a shroud of goodness, to deceive the simple-hearted.
.
Beautiful music, colored lights, pretty faces, and sympathetic storylines, mingled with a few nice virtues!
.
These, O Christian, are the cords which Satan wraps around his entranced high-tech viewers!
.
Thus, these high-tech hucksters spin their cords of deception, deceiving many into believing that television/Internet/etc. are a good thing!
.
And millions buy into those silken threads of deception!
.
.
.
.
.
LEARNING INSTITUTES
.
But television is just one of Satan’s many cords of deception! This world is literally filled with similar deceptions!
.
Take for instance, our learning institutes.
.
Yes, our school systems, once were dedicated to teaching Christian ideals and Bible truths (prior to the 1950’s).
.
But schools have gradually been taken over by secularists and atheists, indoctrinating children into worldly and atheistic ideologies, and are now even beginning to push perverted and shameful lifestyles on our children!
.
Oh yes, there are many fine and dedicated teachers out there!
.
.
.
.
.
.
SOCIAL/FRATERNAL ORDERS
.
And it is no secret that our churches have devolved to a great extent, into little more than a “form of godliness, but denying the Power” of the Holy Spirit.
.
Being void of the Spirit, there are numerous other worldly enticements, such as sports, clubs, counterfeit miracles, hospital systems, ethnicity, traditions, candles, parties, clubs, plays, bingo, clowns, comedians, celebrities, concerts, extravagant buildings, attractive and charismatic leaders, prosperity-driven sermons, movies, and many more similar worldly inducements.
.
Yes, over the decades, churches have devolved into little more than social/religious fraternal organizations with merely a thin coating of religiosity!

GOOD NEWS!
.
Now, these are just a few of the countless ways that Satan has turned this society into one giant mind-control center!
.
But believe it or not, there is some extremely Good News amidst all this doom-and-gloom!
.
That’s right! God has provided a way of escape from these societal walls which seem to be closing in all around us!
.
Listen… “And the LORD answered me,
and said, Write the vision,
and make it plain upon tables,
that he may run that readeth it.
For the vision is yet for an appointed time,
but at the end it shall speak, and not lie:
though it tarry, wait for it;
because it will surely come,
it will not tarry.”
Habakkuk 2:2, 3
.
Yes, now that we can see this Babylonish world close in all around us, the prophet, Habakkuk tells us to run! To Flee!

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN
.
.
.
LOCATING THE DRAGON of REVELATION 12 CONSTELLATION
.
The 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 the very same constellation that comprises the head of Taurus the Bull.
In other words, Hyades is also known as the head of Taurus the Bull.
And Hyades is the mouth of this Dragon.
.
The tip of the Dragon’s tail is composed of that star-cluster known as The Pleiades.
.
The Pleiades is actually in the shape of a lion’s furry tassel tip of his tail. The sketch below shows this Pleiades as the tail tip.
.
.
Now with aid of a dark starry night, you may begin to connect this mouth and the tail with a very long body in an oval shape.
.
The front and back legs are very well-defined with stars.
.
The front legs are made partially of Taurus.
.
The back legs and rear fin are made of the Cetus Constellation.
.
But 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.
.
This Dragon constellation appears in the eastern horizon about mid-summer in the pre-dawn hours, spewing his flood-waters northward toward the Woman of Revelation 12 (Woman in Travail).
.
The Wave of Water is primarily composed of the Constellation Auriga.
.
There are two more less bright stars which are closest to the Dragon’s mouth.
These two dimmer stars are also part of this Wave of Water.
.
