Cease Ye From Man!

Part 15:

“Whose Image Am I Beholding Today?”

FURTHER CONTINUED

“And the smoke of their torment

ascendeth up for ever and ever:

and they have no rest day nor night,

who worship the beast and his image,

and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.”

Revelation 14:11

.

.

.

.

.

.

This above verse from the Book of Revelation foretells of the day that men will suffer God’s wrath because of their sin of worshiping the Beast and his image.

.

Now there are many various theories about just who this beast is, and exactly what is this image which is worshipped by the human race.

.

.

GOLDEN IMAGE FOR “NATIONS & LANGUAGES”

.

One great big clue to understanding the image of the beast is found in Daniel, Chapter 2.

.

In this Chapter 2, King Nebuchadnezzar sets up a golden image of himself on the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon.

.

And the king commanded the “nations and the languages” to fall down and worship the golden image.

.

Well, this story is similar to Revelation 13 in which the world is compelled to worship the beast and his image, at the penalty of death for all who refuse to do so.

LUCIFER: THE TRUE KING OF BABYLON

.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Martin,_John_-_Satan_presiding_at_the_Infernal_Council_-_1824.JPGNow, without trying to go into every detail, the main point to these prophecies is this: the golden image in Babylon represents King Nebuchadnezzar who represents Lucifer, the fallen angel, as revealed in Isaiah 14.

.

Yes, in Isaiah 14, God prophesies against the King of Babylon, even calling him Lucifer at one point.

THE IMAGE OF A MAN, A KING, SATAN

And so, the gist of all this is, the entire world is to be compelled to worship the image of the beast.

.

And just as the King of Babylon represents Satan, so too, this Revelation 13 image is the image of the Revelation 13 Beast.

.

And this Revelation 13 Beast is in the likeness of the Revelation 12 Dragon, who likewise represents Satan.

.

And so, both the golden image of Daniel, and the image of the Revelation 13 Beast ultimately represents worshiping the image of Satan.

.

Now listen to Revelation 13:3, 4 which confirms this concept that worshiping this composite beast is akin to worshiping Satan…

“…and all the world wondered after the beast. 

And they worshipped the dragon

which gave power unto the beast…”

ANTICHRIST BEAST ALWAYS IN THE WORLD

.

Now just one more thing to consider as to who or what this beast represents…

“Littlehttp://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Papessa_tiara.jpg children…

even now are there many antichrists;

whereby we know that it is the last time…

They are of the world:

therefore speak they of the world,

and the world heareth them.”

1st John 2:18 & 4:5, 6 (Condensed) 

.

And so, these above two passages from 1st John reveal that even in his day the world was filled with antichrists.

HEAVENLY ROLE-MODELS or HELLISH ROLE MODELS?

.

As most everyone in the Christian community understands, the Bible uses not only Jesus, but mere mortals, such as Paul, to be role-models for Christians to admire and emulate.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Poster_-_Gone_With_the_Wind_01.jpg.

But Lucifer, now called Satan, fully understands this, and has given us his own role-models, for us to conform to.

.

And now, with the advent of television, radio, the printed page, and high-tech devices, like never before this Master-Destroyer has perfected his mind-control machinery in which to conform the world into his own selfish image!

.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Super_Bowl_XLIII_-_Thunderbirds_Flyover_-_Feb_1_2009.jpg

Consequently, the many ‘superstars’ seen and adored by the multitudes of lost souls on a daily basis, become firmly etched upon the tables of the human hearts of all those adoring fans of these ‘ministers of (Satan’s counterfeit) righteousness’!

.

And as a result, they eventually begin to emulate them in their own personal daily lives!

TODAY’S FEATURED SIGN

 

.

.

.

7 STARS IMITATE THE CROSS OF ORION

 

.

 This phenomenon begins in late October, in the pre-dawn hours. It then begins a little earlier each night, and lasts for several months, until they both appear to lie down once again.

The Cross of Orion Constellation star-chart.

This Wikipedia star-chart to the left, has this Orion Constellation sketched in.

.

You must locate Orion, when it is mid-sky, between east and west.

.

You’ll be facing southward most likely, unless you are far south.

.

Try to imagine it as a Cross atop a steep hill.

.

The 3-star belt of Orion becomes the crest of the hill.

.

The 3 very faint stars that make up Orion’s head become the very top of the Cross.

.

Next, locate the 7 Stars Constellation.

.

This 7 Stars Constellation is seen by facing northward.

.

It stands upright a little later in the night.

.

Eventually, Orion will lay down and no longer be seen as an uplifted Cross!

.

Beginning in November, the 7 Stars (AKA Big Dipper) can be seen as a Cross a little bit later in evening.

.

When you are comfortable in locating Orion & The 7 Stars Constellations, then show a friend. This can be a great witnessing tool!
