But if our gospel be hid,
it is hid to them that are lost:
In whom the god of this world
hath blinded the minds of them which believe not,
lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ,
who is the image of God,
should shine unto them.”
2nd Corinthians 4:3, 4

Mark Twain (and others) once made this following jest concerning the controversy surrounding the true authorship of the writings of Shakespeare… “No, Shakespeare wasn’t written by Shakespeare, but by another man of the same name!”
.
If only Twain had really understood the profundity of his jest, and the enormity of the truth behind it!

MANY PEN-NAMES!
.
You see, Shakespeare didn’t really write Shakespeare! Oh yes, Shakespeare may have been the secretary who penned the words of those many volumes.
.
But it was in fact written by another man of the same name! And yet, that “other man” has authored many literary works under countless other pen-names! He has even written under the pen-name, “Mark Twain”! (And no, we’re not speaking Twain’s actual name of Samuel Clemens.)

HOPE YOU GUESSED MY NAME!
.
One rockster even sang these ominous lyrics about this “other man”…
.
“Please allow me to introduce myself
I’m a man of wealth and taste
I’ve been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man’s soul to waste…
.
“And I was ’round when Jesus Christ
Had His moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate…
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails, just call me Lucifer
Cause I’m in need of some restraint
So if you meet me, have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I’ll lay your soul to waste…etc…”
.
“Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game…”

PLANET GIVEN TO LUCIFER
.
The big problem in this sad old world is that nobody wants to acknowledge, “the 
gigantic elephant in the room”, as the saying goes. Nobody wants to admit that this hellish world is ruled over by the Prince of Darkness, “the Man of Sin”!
.
The Apostle, Paul, refers to this “other man” as the “god of this world” in 2nd Corinthians 4:4. Jesus Himself referred to him as, “the “Prince of this World”. Isaiah referred to him as “the King of Babylon”.
.
The horrible reality is that, like it or not, this world was long ago given over to Lucifer, the greatest created being in all the universe! He took control long ago, when he spoke through a beautiful flying serpent back in the days of Eden.

“THE gOD OF THIS WORLD!”
2nd Corinthians 4:4
.
You see, this fallen world-system is the creation of Lucifer. He is “the god of this world.” And as such, he 
has been allowed to fill his kingdom with many seemingly beautiful and wonderful creations in the various arts and sciences.
.
But because this super genius spirit-being fully understands that he must do his work under the cover of darkness, he has raised up various men through the ages to promote his arts and pseudo-sciences and ideologies. And this works out very well! Because, by so-doing, mere men get the credit for creating these various productions, such as the writings of Shakespeare.
.
And these many creative works only bolster Man’s selfish pride.

NEBUCHADNEZZAR’S PRIDE
.
Tak
e, for instance, King Nebuchadnezzar. This man looked out on the glorious kingdom he had built and began to think he was pretty smart!
.
But God reduced him to a dumb beast for 7 years until Nebuchadnezzar acknowledged that it was actually God who allowed Satan and his fallen angels to build and create that magnificent kingdom of Babylon through Nebuchadnezzar! And without God allowing Satan to work through Nebuchadnezzar, this mere human, Nebuchadnezzar, was nothing more than any other man.
.
But this kingdom of Satan, the world, is filled with many “Nebuchadnezzars”! Men like Shakespeare, and Twain, whom Satan raises up to become “Useful Pawns” in his grand deception against the unsuspecting inhabitants of this world!

NO PRAISE IN THE GRAVE!
.
Yes, Shakespeare has been elevated to almost a god-like status in this world. Too 
bad he’s not around to enjoy all the laud and praise heaped upon him, even to this very day!
.
No, Shakespeare, Mark Twain, Mozart, Einstein, and all the other so-called creative geniuses throughout history are now resting in their graves (their bodies now dust), waiting to be raised up on the great day of God’s final judgment, to answer for their lives of rebellion against Heaven.
.
And hopefully, each of these men turned to God, and repented of their sins prior to their death! If they did, then they will live forever in the presence of the true Creator!

But briefly, to answer today’s signature question, that other guy named Shakespeare is, well, none other than, as that rockster put it, “Hope you guessed my name!”

TODAY’S PRAYER…
“Dear Lord, Let me not be ignorant of Satan’s devices, in his role as “god of this world”. But let me be, “as wise as a serpent” in regards to just what is behind all the so-called creativity and genius of this world…

LOCATION OF THE REVELATION 12 DRAGON…
.
.
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 Aries and 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 Cetus Constellation.
.
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 .
