All Comfy-cozy In Hell,

Part 2:
“So, Just What Were You Expecting From Hell!?!”

“The wicked shall be turned into Hell,
and all the nations that forget God.”
Psalm 9:17
.

CASTLE OF SAND
.
All of a sudden, our “Motherhood, apple-pie, and the flag” society, has morphed into somewhat of a tyrannical beast, complete with sharp teeth!
.
So, what in the world happened!?!
.
Yes, we all thought this society was as solid as the Rock of Gibraltar!
.
But now it seems to be as weak as the proverbial castle-of-sand!

IT’S ALL FALLING APART!
.
As we look around, we are shocked and amazed at what we now see and hear!
.
*When we see Christian businessmen having to close up shop, it is very disconcerting!
.
*When we hear that the courts are handing down ridiculous and unjust decisions, we are filled with anger!
.
*When we see huge corporations paying off congressmen, to oppress us, we feel helpless!
.
*And when we read about Internet Goliaths in the form of social media and monopoly search-engines stomping Christian websites into oblivion, we feel utterly hopeless!
.
*When the schools begin to promote sexual perversion as the norm, we are confounded!
.
*When eastern religions move in and begin to take over the very nations which once enthusiastically embraced the Christian Reformation, we are greatly saddened!
.
*The television, the radio, the Internet, newspapers and magazines are beginning to appear like brainwashing machines!
.
*The young people pass by on the streets, wearing pagan-like ornaments, and greet us with a growl! We hear their music filled with violence and cursings!
.
*We read of unthinkable crimes!
.
*Our government is committing financial suicide!
.
*Public nudity beginning to be legalized!
.
*Public-schools now forcing girls to shower with boys!
.
*Children being kidnapped and sold into slavery by the millions!
.
*Churches now beginning to embrace the morals of Sodom and Gomorrah!
.
You could probably sum up the whole world situation today, by merely saying…
“judgment is turned away backward,
and justice stands afar off:
for truth is fallen in the street,
and equity cannot enter.”
Isaiah 59:14
.
Yes, justice and goodness and truth seem to be dying, as far as this world is concerned!

HELL: THE SPIRITUAL DARKNESS ALL AROUND US
.
It seems as if Christians don’t understand where we are.
.
Yes, we have forgotten that this is Hell.
.
Oh no, it’s not Sheol (Sheol = Hell being the grave).
.
But the loyal citizens of this kingdom of Satan are in the same spiritual darkness as the fallen angels!
.
And so, just what were you expecting from Hell!?!
.
Did we think that somehow our society had a hedge around it, that Satan couldn’t break through?
.
Listen… “For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.” Psalms 96:5
.
Now are we so naïve as to believe this above verse does not apply to our nation?
.
Yes, there are perhaps more idols in this nation than most other nations…
*
…our idols of fashionable cars…
*
…our idols of expensive homes…
*
…our idols of television, and radio and Internet…
*
…idols of faddish clothes…
*
…and our idols of money…
*
…and idols of enviable careers…
*
…and expensive and lavish resorts…
*
…and our idol musicians…
*
…and our sports heroes…
*
…and our idols of movie “stars”!
.
Oh, we could go on and on and never run out of idols to enumerate!
.
The point is, if ever God looked down with favor upon this nation, that day has long since passed!

“MARVEL NOT…IF THE WORLD HATES YOU”
John 3:13
.
Yes, O Stranger & Pilgrim, we have been caught sleeping, and now we have had the cold water of reality thrown in our face…
.
…that the world around us is just as hateful toward us, as it was back in the early centuries of Christianity!
.
Remember reading of those Dark Ages when Christians were thrown into the arena to be eaten by hungry lions?
.
Or tortured in dungeons? Or burned at the stake?
.
And it may not be long until the lions may be brought back…and those dungeons…and those stakes!
.
At the very least, we are realizing that buying and selling may soon become a thing of the past, as far as Christians are concerned!
.
The economic walls now seem to begin closing in on Christians!

But the question keeps coming back to all of us… “So exactly what were you expecting from Hell, anyway!?!”

GOOD NEWS!
.
Well, the Good News is, that even though the Holy Spirit appears to be removing His divine protection from the general populace…
.
…yet, genuine Believers have the promise…
…”I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper,
and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.”
Hebrews 13:5, 6
.
Yes, the Bible has many similar promises that we must cling to during the darkness which is now enshrouding the world.

.
IT’S ACTUALLY A BLESSING!
.
But actually, we should take comfort in this: that we have been living in a great deception for several centuries.
.
That is, we have been duped into thinking that the world was our friend, far too long!
.
And now we are beginning to see that it was all just a cleverly designed ruse, devised by that old Master-of-Deceptions, the Devil!
.
And now, the words of Isaiah are beginning to be fulfilled…
…”The sinners in Zion are afraid;
fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites.
Who among us shall dwell with the Devouring Fire?
who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings…?”
Isaiah 33:14, 15

SOLDIERS OF THE CROSS, ARMOR UP!
.
Yes, it is Good News that God’s people will no longer be deceived by this False Prophet society…
.
…this antichrist society which has been lulling us to sleep with the soothing strains of its deceptive and devilish lullaby!
.
And so, O mighty Soldier of the Cross, it’s high time to get your armor on!

TODAY’S HEAVENLY SIGN
.
.
.
THE ‘FIVE FOOLISH VIRGINS’ STARS
.
A new constellation has been revealed, as of about May 29th, 2014.
.
This constellation appears as a serpent (snake).
.
Its body is comprised of stars from the Bootes Constellation, and its jaws are made of the four stars which Babylonians saw as the head of Draco, the Dragon.
.
It also has a small single star for an eye.
.
Now in this constellation is a group of five stars, which will be called “The ‘Five Foolish Virgins’ Stars”.
.
These are located on the opposite side of the Glorious Crown of 12 Stars (AKA Corona Borealis), from the ‘Five Wise Virgins’ Stars.
.
But one big difference between the two is, that The Five Wise are curved around the Glorious Crown, while the Five Foolish are curved away from it!
