“For they loved the praise of men
more than the praise of God.”

JESUS IS THE PLUMB-LINE OF TRUTH
[CONTINUED FROM YESTERDAY click here to read]
.
…But there is a test for each and every word spoken or sung: Jesus Christ!
.
Yes, for those who have their eyes lifted up to Heaven, there will be an attempt to imitate Jesus in all we think, do, and say.
.
And of course, the Holy Spirit abiding within a Believer likewise pervades what kind of music we love, and listen to, and even the music we perform.
.
And filled with His Spirit of love for this new type of music, music of Heaven, we inquire of ourselves…
…”How can I sound more like Jesus?
.
…How would Jesus sing this song?
.
…How can I promote Heaven, and not promote ‘self”?”
.
And there is a certain Heaven-sent intuition which tells us how Jesus would handle these seemingly questionable matters.

MEEK & LOWLY JESUS: “A Real Joy-killer!”
.
But for those false brethren in today’s churches, who are trying to vaunt ourselves before audiences, this concept of emulating the meek and lowly Jesus is “a real joy-killer!”
.
Because with Jesus, there was no attempt to lift Himself up by His own beauty or charisma or talent…
.
Listen to Isaiah’s description of Jesus…
…”He hath no form (attractiveness)
nor comeliness (splendor);
and when we shall see Him,
there is no beauty that we should desire Him.”
Isaiah 53:2
.
.

.
LUCIFER: KING OF BABYLON (THIS WORLD)
.
And we need to remember that it was Satan who first began to perform his solos to please his audience of angels.
.
Yes, when pride entered Lucifer’s heart, he began to sing more and more solos, no doubt!
.
No longer was his motivation to please God.
.
No longer was he content with joining all voices together as one!
.
He became only interested in wowing his audiences with his own beauty, abilities, and charm, for the purpose of self-exaltation!
.
Listen…
“…take up this proverb against the king of Babylon…
thy pomp is brought down to the grave…
and the noise of thy viols…
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!…
For thou hast said in thine heart…
I will exalt my throne above the stars of God:
I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation,
in the sides of the north…
I will be like the most High.”
Isaiah 14:4, 12-14 (condensed for brevity)
.
Here above, this passage from Isaiah exposes Lucifer as the King of Babylon (Babylon being this world).
.
And Lucifer desired to rule “upon the mount of the congregation”: God’s people.
.
But Lucifer’s judgment Day will finally come.
.
And the noise of his violins will finally cease their syrupy-sweet sensual sound!

“And I heard another voice from Heaven, saying, Come out of her (Babylon), My people, that ye be not partakers of her sins…”
Revelation 18:4 (Condensed)
.
God has allowed His people to live a mingled existence, caught somewhere between Heaven’s government and Satan’s kingdom of this world.
.
We have grown up in this fallen world. It’s all we’ve ever known!
.
And so, to a great extent, we have lived by the corrupt standards of this fallen world of Lucifer’s making, seldom giving them a second thought.
.
And whether we like it or not, the music which the world listens to, is more or less a product of this Babylonian world.

EXODUS FROM BABYLON
.
Listen to this next prophecy by Isaiah…
…”Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice;
with the voice together shall they sing:
for they shall see eye to eye,
when the LORD shall bring again Zion.”
Isaiah 52:8
.
Here is a prophecy which foretells of the day when God’s people will sing, and with “voice together shall they sing”.
.
And that Day is now upon us.

TODAY’S FEATURED SIGN
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
“Immediately after the tribulation of those days…
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven…”
Matthew 24:29, 3o (Condensed for brevity)
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
SIGN OF THE SON OF MAN IN HEAVEN
.
.
Encircling this entire globe is a great sign in Heaven!
.
Without a doubt, the greatest of all signs!
(This picture is the straightened-out version, while this massive constellation actually curves completely around the globe!)
.
One reason why it is so great is because it is so vast, encompassing both the summer and winter skies!
.
And it is comprised of most all the signs revealed on this website.
.
It is called, “The Sign of the Son of Man in Heaven Constellation”, even as it is revealed in Matthew 24:30…
…”And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven:
and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn,
and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven
with power and great glory.”
.
Yes, here is the most remarkable of all signs in heaven!
.
.
.
.
.
GRAND MASTER LEVEL
.
But to really see this sign requires the stargazer to achieve a “grand-master status”, so to speak, in the Signs Of Heaven.
(Well, perhaps that earthly title is not such an appropriate term.)
.
Nevertheless, to see this great constellation first requires one to become fully familiar with all the other signs revealed on this website.
.
But once the reader does achieve (or rather, “receive”) a thorough familiarity with all these other signs…
.
…then that Reader can go out and see the granddaddy of all signs, “The Sign of the Son of Man in Heaven Constellation”!
(There is, however one other great sign which has not yet been revealed, because of its complexity, called the “Holy Ghostly-Priest Constellation”)
