“What in the world is going on!?”
.
Doesn’t it appear as though everything we once took for granted is now getting canceled?!
.
You name it! From cartoons to Shakespeare!
.
From Dr. Seuss to Abraham Lincoln!
.
From genders to Hollywood movies!
.
From history books, even to the Constitution!
.
From church attendance to sitting in a coffee house!
.
From conservative videos to Christian websites!
.
Nothing seems beyond the reach of this current-day “Cancel Culture”!

“The sinners in Zion are afraid”
Isaiah 33:14
.
It all seems so crazy, and yet, a good percentage of the world’s citizenry seems to be very much okay with all this canceling out!
.
So, just what is going on?
.
And why are people so willing to tacitly accept all this canceling out of everything we once took for granted, assuming these would always be here with us?
.
Well, even though all this apparent societal insanity is confusing, to say the least, we must be aware that the Bible prophesied of this very hour in which we are now in!

SATAN, ‘THE GOD OF THIS WORLD”
2nd Corinthians 4:4
.
First, let’s make it very clear, just who is in control of this world. No, not God (oh yes, ultimately, God is in control).
.
But rather, as Scripture reveals…“the god of this world (Satan) 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…Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:” 2nd Corinthians 4:4 & Ephesians 2:2
.
Now these above two verses fully explain why so many people are willing to allow all this canceling to continue. The Prince of the Power of the Air, the spirit of antichrist is working in them! “…And this is that spirit of antichrist…They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.” 1st John 4:3, 5
.
This is their god, and this is their prince…Lucifer! And to him, the world lends its listening, obedient ear!
.
.
.

.
.
BUYING OR SELLING
.
Now combine these above three verses with Revelation 13:17…“And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Revelation 13:17
.
Here we begin to see that the Bible long ago prophesied of this current-day “Cancel-Culture” in the last hours of history. Yes, all those who refused to bow 
down to Satan would be canceled! At least, their ability to “buy or sell” would be canceled. And probably not just financially either…“Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.” Proverbs 23:23
.
Now, with this above verse, all this canceling begins to make sense. After all, if the world is willing to cancel Shakespeare and Dr. Seuss, then how long before they begin to cancel the Bible? And our ability to preach the Bible?
.
And isn’t that really what Satan actually wants to do more than anything else? To cancel out the Bible and the soul-saving preaching of the Bible?

“therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.”
Daniel 11:44
.
And don’t think for a moment it can’t happen here! Because, if the Holy Spirit is “taken out of the way” (as 2nd Thessalonians, Chapter 2 prophesies), then just about any degree of wickedness can happen, can it not?
.
And if that’s not enough canceling out, just listen to this…“And he (The False Prophet Beast of Revelation 13, which this site reveals to be the USA) had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast (the image of the 1st Beast, being Satan’s antichrist world-system), should be killed.”
Revelation 13:15 (Parenthetical comments by Web-Editor)
.
Yes, even our very lives may be canceled out in the next few years, according to this above prophecy! And with the absence of the Holy Spirit’s restraint over mankind’s wickedness will exponentially increase in the coming days and months!

HABAKKUK SAYS “RUN!”
.
The Book of Habakkuk speaks of this very day and hour in which we now find ourselves…“And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.” Habakkuk 2:2
.
You see, the prophet, Habakkuk, had a vision of Chaldeans (unbelievers) moving in with leopard-like speed to cancel out biblical Christianity, by means of enveloping the Christian community with soul-destroying influences, to the degree that Christians lose their ability to make good solid biblical judgments. And when we finally wake up (spiritually speaking) and realize that this antichrist world has become our enemy (that it actually is and always has been our enemy), God, through Habakkuk, commands us to “RUN”!

PSALMS SAYS, “HIDE!” AND THAT’S GOOD NEWS! A PLACE OF REFUGE!
.
But where do we run? And where do we hide?
.
Well, that’s the Good News!
.
Listen…“Come, My people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. For, behold, the LORD cometh out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.” Isaiah 2:20, 21
.
Yes, as this above passage reveals, we must run and hide ourselves in Christ…“Thou art my hiding place; Thou shalt preserve me from trouble; Thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.” Psalm 32:7
.
Here is where we are to run and hide! Listen again…“For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion: in the secret of His tabernacle shall He hide me; He shall set me up upon a Rock…and that Rock was (and is) Christ” Psalm 27:5 & 1st Corinthians 10:4
.
Yes, if we delay not, and run to the safety of the secret of God’s tabernacle, we will find safety from the approaching, “windy storm and tempest”. Psalm 55:8

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN
.
.
.
.
THE WIDE & NARROW GATE STARS
.
LOCATION
.
.
This most amazing phenomenon is seen throughout the winter. Although it can be observed most of the winter, it is seen best when it is the western part of the sky, at winter’s end (The end of winter being the final scene of this heavenly Gospel story). Orion , the Dragon, and the Glorious White Horse are beginning to descend into the western horizon (sketch to right is Winter Constellations descending into western horizon. This can actually be seen as early as December, in the pre-dawn hours).
.
And at this point it is apparent that the Fleeing Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation is veering toward the two bright stars, known as Castor and Pollux (sketch to left). But the Wide Gate Stars are composed of the two brightest stars of the Auriga Constellation, known as the star, Capella, and the star, Menkalinan. The two stars, Castor and Pollux, make up the concept of the Orion’s Narrow Gate Stars.
.
This can even be observed into June in the western sky (for a short time just after dark). While a dark night is best for seeing the Woman Constellation, the 4 stars which comprise the Narrow Gate/Wide Gate Stars can be seen even under mediocre conditions. It begins with the Fleeing Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation (AKA Ursa Major) going towards these two doors.
.
The sketch to left shows, the two doors are each composed of two bright stars. The two bright stars that comprise the Narrow Gate are the two brightest stars of the Orion the Reaper’s sickle. The two stars that comprise the ‘Wide Gate’ Stars are the two brightest stars of the wave of water that comes out of the Dragon Constellation’s mouth (for explanation of “Wave of Water”, just click here). The stars that make up the ‘Narrow Gate’ are about half the width of the Wide Gate (see sketch to right).
.
.

.
Editor’s note: These sketches on this page are merely sketches. The stars are not in their exact place. However, they are close enough to find them in the night sky. But as with most stars, it takes persistence to finally locate them.
