“And I beheld another beast (the False Prophet) coming up out of the earth;
and he had two horns like a lamb,
and he spake as a dragon.
And deceives them that dwell on the earth
Revelation 13:11, 14, 15

This above passage from Revelation 13, concerns the second beast, The False Prophet.
.
This speaks of satanic power which arose out of the earth.

AN IMAGE THAT SPEAKS
.
Now in all of earth’s history, there has never been an image which could speak!
All the idols throughout history were dumb idols of stone, wood, or metal.
The Bible says…
“They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not:
they must needs be borne, because they cannot go.
Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil,
neither also is it in them to do good.”
Jeremiah 10:5
.
And so, this above passage describes the lifeless idols of yesteryear which could not talk nor walk, nor do good, nor do any evil!

But Revelation 13 tells of an image which now can speak and cause that people should be killed!

A RISE TO POWER
.
Now as we look through Christendom, we can see a spirit which slowly rose up to power through the Twentieth Century.
And this spiritual power came in the form of the so-called “Pentecostal” prosperity-driven gospels.
.
Now one great tip-off that this is a counterfeit movement is the lawlessness connected with it!
Yes, it seems that the more lawless these prosperity-driven churches are, the greater are the so-called “miracles” in those same religious bodies!

FOLLOWING LOWLY JESUS
.
And one of the counterfeit miracles in those churches is that the “holy spirit” is speaking to these churchgoers in their minds!
And by speaking comfortable words, via a nondescript voice in the mind, millions of Christians all over the world are connected to this faux-religious-like spirit.
.

.
TRUE CHRISTIANITY
.
When a person becomes a Christian, the true Holy Spirit comes into the heart of that new Christian, causing him or her to lose interest in the things of this selfish world.
..
And instead of seeking the pleasures and treasures of this present world, the Christian now views life, spiritually, through the eyes of Jesus!
And the salvation of souls and the desire to become changed into the image of Christ now becomes the paramount desire of the Christian!
.
Oh yes, the Christian feels a great responsibility to provide for the needs and the contentment of his or her family!

A WORLD-LOVING GOSPEL
.
But this above description of the Christian life is a far cry from today’s prosperity-driven gospels!
.
And this speaking spirit-voice within, gives them soft quasi-biblical counsels, as they go through their world-loving day!
But this counterfeit spirit is none other than the spirit of devils, working counterfeit miracles, imitating the true Holy Spirit.
.
Listen… “And then shall that Wicked be revealed…
Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan
with ALL POWER SIGNS AND LYING WONDERS,”
2nd Thessalonians 2:8, 9 (Condensed for brevity)
.
Here is a very brief description of this miracle-working False Prophet. And he has power to counterfeit all the signs and wonders of the true Holy Spirit!

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY!”
Proverbs 25:25
.
Now is there any Good News here? Is there any hope for such deluded individuals?
.
Yes, God is willing to receive all such who come to Him in true repentance and genuine, heart-felt contrition!
.
And those who are willing to let go of this proud and selfish world, and begin to follow lowly Jesus, can become true disciples of Master!
.
But we must be willing to let God crucify us! We must be willing to walk through the fires of tribulation, so that our earthly dross may be burned away, that we may ultimately come forth as pure gold!

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN

LOCATING THESE TWO CONSTELLATIONS
.
This phenomenon begins in late October, in the pre-dawn hours.
It then begins a little earlier each night.
.
.
This Wikipedia star-chart to the left, has this Orion Constellation sketched in.
You must locate Orion, when it is mid-sky, between east and west.
You’ll be facing southward most likely, unless you are far south.
Try to imagine it as a Cross on a steep hill.
The 3-star belt of Orion becomes the crest of the hill.
The 3 very faint stars that make up Orion’s head become the very top of the Cross.
.
Next, locate the 7 Stars Constellation.
This 7 Stars Constellation is seen by facing northward.
It stands upright a little later in the night.
Eventually, Orion will lay down and no longer be seen as an uplifted Cross!
Beginning in November, the 7 Stars (AKA Big Dipper) can be seen as a Cross a little bit later in evening.
.
When you are comfortable in locating Orion & The 7 Stars Constellations, then show a friend. This can be a great witnessing tool!
