“Planet Earth: Our Burial Plot…
…or Our Highway To Heaven?”
.
.
.
.
.
.
“Not every one that saith unto Me,
.
Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of Heaven;
.
but he that doeth the will of My Father which is in Heaven.
.
Many will say to Me in that day,
.
Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy name?
.
and in Thy name have cast out devils?
.
and in Thy name done many wonderful works?
.
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you:
.
depart from Me, ye that work iniquity.”
Matthew 7:21-23
.
.
.
.
It’s getting harder to deny that this world is crumbling before our very eyes!
.
Institutions which we thought were “as solid as Gibraltar” are now falling apart with such swiftness, that it is dizzying to behold!
.
Even the very nations which once lovingly embraced the great Christian Reformation are now willingly handing over the reins to other religions which desire to completely transform those societies to conform to their antichrist beliefs!

So what are we to do?
.
How should Christians respond to this great worldwide paradigm shift?

A WAKE-UP CALL
.
Certainly, all these unnerving and catastrophic changes should be a wake-up call that our time here is fast running out.
.
But there is a much greater question which Christians should be asking themselves.
.
And just what is that question?
.
“Is this world going to be my eternal resting place or is this world just the beginning of my sojourn upward and onward upon that Heavenward highway out of and away from this hopeless world of lost souls?”

WHICH WORLD AM I LIVING FOR?
.
In other words, have I nestled down, making this selfish world the focus of my life?
.
Or have I truly renounced this present world in heart?

“SEARCH ME O GOD, AND KNOW MY HEART”
.
Oh yes, I have daily commitments to fulfill. I may have a family to raise, and to make as happy as 
possible. But when God searches my heart, will He be pleased at what He finds there? Listen to the Psalmist…“Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” Psalm 139:23
.
The sad fact is that far too many Christians have laid aside our heavenly armor and are instead devoting ourselves to the pursuit of earthly pleasures and/or ambitious attainments. And let’s face it! The “god of this world”, Lucifer, now called Satan, has provided enough distractions and diversions to keep Christians busy for a lifetime!
.
But the stark reality is, that all those who live for this present world will finally discover that this world will be their eternal grave plot.

INTO THE LAND OF EVERLASTING JOY!
.
But the Good News is that my life doesn’t have to end in such a sad and hopeless way! No, today I can still cry out for God’s deliverance from this world, and to create in me the desire to begin that heavenward sojourn.
.
Yes, this world can become the stepping-off point of my sojourn to Heaven as I begin that spiritual climb toward that wonderful Promised Land in which all over-comers will be eternally happy and content.
.
It is a world in which the sounds of joy and laughter and singing will resound against the everlasting hills, and echo through the lush ever-winding valleys.
.
Just look at the beauty still present in this sin-cursed earth and realize that this remaining beauty is merely a small token of what’s in store for all of Christ’s redeemed ones!
.
And there we will never grow old but will be forever happy and forever young!

FLOOD-WATERS OF SATAN CONSTELLATION
.
“And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman…And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads…And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.” Revelation 12:1, 3, 15

7 HEADS, 10 HORNS, & 7 CROWNS OF THE DRAGON
.
“And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.” Rev. 12:3
.
In Revelation, the Dragon of Revelation 12 is described as having seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns. However, the Dragon Constellation up in the night sky does not. But God has faithfully created the wave of water, in such a way, as to illustrate this same concept of the seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns. Because this wave of water is basically composed of ten stars. The main body of the wave has seven stars (#‘s, 1 thru 7). And the tip of the crest of the wave has the other three stars (#’s, 8, 9 & 10). So we have this 7 and 10 numbering. And this gives us a great clue, as to where in the Bible we should look, to find out the riddle as to just what or who do these 7 heads, 10 crowns, and 7 horns represent. Because, the Bible speaks very much about floods and waters as being associated with Satan (the Dragon).
