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 2:1-3

Now in the vision of the prophet, Habakkuk, was a frightful situation in which the people of God were surrounded by unbelievers, causing perverted judgment to proceed forth from God’s people.

.

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

FLOOD-WATERS OF THE DRAGON

.

Now as we look around at the sad and apostate condition of the church-world, we see a very similar condition today!

TV indoctrination

.

Yes, God’s people are being destroyed from without and from within.

.

The Revelation 12 Dragon has flooded the churches with every conceivable means of destructive influence.

.

From apostate church members and clergy, to high-tech devices, radio, and television, to the atheistic public school system, Satan and his countless followers are now working around the clock to flood God’s people with soul-destroying, mind-altering influences!

.

.

.

.

.

THE GREATEST ERROR

.

But perhaps, the greatest error which consumes the spiritual power of the Church is the notion of a one-day-per-week worship!

.

Yes, this time-tested error has been allowed to corrupt God’s people throughout the centuries of the New Testament era.

.

The time when God’s people were the strongest, was when God’s people were, “continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread (Bible study & prayer) from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,” Acts 2:46

.

Yes, here was a situation which caused the Church to become strong, meeting together daily (or nightly after the day’s labor).

ANTICHRISTS, WITHOUT, WITHIN

.

But today, the Church has grown weak, because it only congregating once or twice per week.

.

Now if the Church instead would have combined this once-weekly congregation with a 24/7/365 communion with God, the Church could have remained strong.

.

But Satan has infiltrated the Church with false brethren, who have given a poor example of attending church once-a-week, but serving other gods through the weekdays!

MANY DIVERSIONS

.

Yes, Satan has filled this society with every conceivable invention of selfishness.

.

And many of these devices have the appearance of harmlessness, even goodness!

.

And as God’s true sheep look around at the poor example set by fellow church members, they begin to think that such worldly pursuits are, perhaps, OK!

.

And in this manner, Satan causes wrong judgment to proceed forth within the Church.

.

.

.

.

.

APOSTASY FORETOLD

.

Now the Bible foretells of the day when the apostasy comes to its fullness… “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; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” 2nd Timothy 4:3, 4

.

From this above passage (and other similar passages) it is seen that the time will come (and now is), when it is no longer safe to attend even a weekly church service!

HABAKKUK SAYS “RUN!”

Constellation- Woman of Revelation 12 flees to the mountains Mark 13:14

.

Now, the prophet Habakkuk was instructed by God… “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

.

As this above passage commands, we are to run.

.

There’s no longer time to try to repair the hopelessly broken churches.

God’s people are assured that their spiritual needs will be supplied, even though they have vacated the fallen and apostate church-world.

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 

.Dragon of Revelation 12 Constellation

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 and 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).
