Daily Devotional, Year 2 – JANUARY 23

“Take us the foxes, the little foxes”

 .

PART 1 

.

.

.

.

.

.

“Take us the foxes, the little foxes,

that spoil the vines:

for our vines have tender grapes.”

Song of Songs 2:15

CHRIST AND HIS BRIDE, JERUSALEM!

.

God is a lover of poetry! No doubt about it! Both nature and the Bible are teeming with poetry!

.

And there is no book of the Bible like Song of Songs for poetry!

.

It is perhaps, the most unbelievable and disconcerting of any other book of the Bible!

.

Yes, this poem of love almost seems a bit pornographic in a few places, even speaking of a woman’s breast in such graphic imagery!

.

It makes one wonder if it even belongs in the Bible!

.

Maybe in the centuries past, someone just slipped it in, when no one was watching!?

“SPIRITUAL THINGS…ARE SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED”

1st Corinthians 2:13, 14 (Condensed for brevity)

.

But here again, like all the rest of the Bible, Song of Songs must be understoodhttp://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Holy_bible.jpg allegorically, before it begins to make real sense!

.

And then it is eventually discovered that this little poem is actually about Christ and His bride, the Church!

.

And of course, the Church (often compared to a woman) has been given the commission to dispense “the milk of the Word”, which explains the allegory concerning breasts.

.

Yes, just like the rest of the Bible, this little Book is really all about the Gospel!

WHO ARE THE LITTLE FOXES?

.

But our signature scripture today is also a somewhat confusing, allegorical verse!

.

Listen… “Take us the foxes, the little foxes,

that spoil the vines:

for our vines have tender grapes.”

Song of Songs 2:15

.

Okay, so what in the world could this be speaking of?

.

Listen again…

“O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts.”

Ezekiel 13:14

.

Now, if a vineyard represents God’s people, then little foxes represent the little false prophets within the Church which spoil God’s spiritual harvest of Believers!

.

“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine!”

.

And the Apostle, Paul, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit foretells of a day in which the Church will no longer tolerate the unvarnished truth!

.

Listen… “For the time will come

when they will not endure sound doctrine…

2nd Timothy 4:3

.

Now we see that the churches will come to their eventual apostasy and ultimate demise!

SATAN AND HIS FALSE SHEPHERDS

.

Now we should not think that apostate pastors found in local congregations are the sum-total of what the Bible speaks of in 2nd Corinthians…

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Martin,_John_-_Satan_presiding_at_the_Infernal_Council_-_1824.JPG

“…for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

Therefore it is no great thing

if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness…”

2nd Corinthians 11:13-15 (Condensed)

.

No, this above passage can be speaking of anybody, even the parishioners within the congregation: anyone who teaches falsehood, either by word or by world-loving lifestyle!

.

THE WICKED SURROUND THE RIGHTEOUS!

.

Now, in a vision, the prophet saw that by close association with unbelievers, God’s people became perverted in their own thinking and decision-making!

.

Listen… “Therefore the law is slacked,

and judgment doth never go forth:

for the wicked doth compass about the righteous;

therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.”

Habakkuk 1:4

.

So here we see that in these last moments of history, God’s people will be surrounded by unbelievers, both within and without, who will cause us to become perverted in judgment!

JUST LOOK AROUND!

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:People_on_Times_Square.jpg

.

Everywhere we go, we are being indoctrinated!

The music in stores…

…the billboards on streets…

…the radio…

…schools…

…the Internet…

…the TV shows…

…and even the religious programming…

…these are all part of Satan’s arsenal, to indoctrinate Christians, and our children into a less-than-Christ-honoring lifestyle!

.

These are the little foxes who are destroying God’s vineyard!

FLEE TO THE MOUNTAINS!

.

Well, so as to not end on a sour note, we must look for a solution to this frightening situation we now find ourselves in!

.

Just what can we do?

.

Where can we go?

.

After all, even Habakkuk says…

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/38/Tissot_Habakkuk.jpg

…”And the LORD answered me, and said,

‘Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables,

that he may run that readeth it.

For…at the end it shall speak, and not lie…'”

Habakkuk 2:2, 3 (Condensed)

.

So, Habakkuk’s counsel for us today, is “RUN”! 

.

Unfortunately, there are not many places to run to! 

.

Nor are there many Believers who can afford to simply remove themselves from this situation!

“FLEE TO THE MOUNTAINS!” 

Mark 13:14 & Luke 21:21

.

But there is another place we can run to!

.

And to simply put it, we must flee into the arms of God!

.

Listen… “For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion…

He shall set me up upon a rock.

And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me:

therefore…I will sing praises unto the LORD.

Psalm 27:5, 6 (Condensed for brevity) 

 

.

Here is the only true hiding place from those little foxes who are constantly biting God’s people and trying to destroy them!

THE THIRD MOUNTAIN…CHOICE ‘C’…

https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&thid=AMMS_361211475c2eb4136524c51fe322e972&mediaurl=http%3a%2f%2fupload.wikimedia.org%2fwikipedia%2fcommons%2fthumb%2fe%2fe7%2fCassiopeia_IAU.svg%2f500px-Cassiopeia_IAU.svg.png&exph=473&expw=500&q=cassiopeia+constellation&selectedIndex=0&stid=001c94ec-87e8-1ebb-f53f-39126485d0cf&cbn=EntityAnswer&ajaxhist=0.

“Behold, I am against thee, O destroying mountain, saith the LORD,

which destroyest all the earth:

and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee,

and roll thee down from the rocks,

and will make thee a burnt mountain.”

Jeremiah 51:25

.

These three mountains are called “The Valley of Decision Constellation Group”.

.

The first two mountains on the left in this sketch are known are the Mounts of Blessing and Cursing, as found in Deuteronomy 27:11-26 & Chapter 28.

.

The valley between these two mountains is called the Valley of Decision, as is written…

“Multitudes, multitudes in the Valley of Decision:

for the day of the LORD is near in the Valley of Decision.”

Joel 3:14.

Valley of Decision + O Destroying Mountain Constellation Group

.

The Valley of Decision is not a physical place, but a spiritual valley in which each person of the world will make up his or her mind, as to just whom they will serve: God or Satan; God’s kingdom or this world (Satan’s kingdom).

.

From the Mount of Blessing are heard all the blessings which result from serving God.

.

From the Mount of Cursing are heard all the curses which result from disobedience to God’s will.

.

And those in the valley will listen to both sides, and make up their minds, just who will they serve.
