Part 23:
“The Highway To Hell Is Paved With Good Works!”

“Enter ye in at the strait gate:
for wide is the gate, and broad is the way,
that leadeth to destruction,
and many there be which go in thereat:”
Matthew 7:13
.
.
.
.
.
.
The Book of Luke reveals that in these last days… “And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations…And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.” Luke 21:25, 27
.
Yes, just prior to the Return of Christ, God promised that there would be signs in the sun, moon, and stars.
.
.
.
.
.
.
THE BROAD WAY THAT LEADS TO DESTRUCTION
.
Well, that day, O Christian, has finally arrived! And one of the long afore-promised signs is the constellation group known as the Valley of Decision Constellation group. It is seen in the eastern skies in mid-summer to mid-fall.
.
This sign was vaguely alluded to in Joel… “And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come…Multitudes, multitudes in the Valley of Decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the Valley of Decision.” Joel 2:30, 31, & 3:14, 15
.
Now in this very complex constellation group, are two mountains which represent the Mount of Blessing (to the left, and north in the night sky) and the Mount of Cursing (the middle mountain), and the mountain furthest to the south is the “Babylon…O Destroying Mountain” (see Jeremiah 51:24, 25).
.
Notice that this Destroying Mountain of Babylon has a long line traveling downward, directly into the Revelation 12 Dragon.
.
And this long line traveling downward is the constellation known as the Broad Way that Leads to Destruction. This Broad Way is comprised of stars from the Pisces Constellation.

THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED?
.
One of the world’s poets wrote the following words…“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by,”
.
Well, obviously he wasn’t speaking (at least, not knowingly) of the Broad Way that leads to destruction!
.
Because, the Bible informs us that the Broad Way that leads to destruction is a heavily traveled road.

“WHAT GOOD THING SHALL I DO, THAT I MAY HAVE ETERNAL LIFE?”
Matthew 19:16
.
Now, the reason for bringing this up is to reveal one reason why the Broad Way is so heavily traveled. Oh yes, many who travel this broad road do so for their very plain and simple lust for the pleasures of sin and selfishness.
.
But there are many moral churchgoers who are under the false belief that they are on the highway to Heaven, not realizing that they actually are on that Broad Way that leads to destruction!
.
And one reason they are so deceived, is because they place far much too confidence in some good work that they have performed.
.
For instance, there are many radio and television personalities who lead naïve listeners into the false notion that merely saying the so-called Sinner’s Prayer will gain them entrance into the Kingdom of Heaven. Or perhaps getting baptized, or joining a certain denomination, or attending church faithfully, or living a moral life, or any one of the many other Christian duties.

“THE KISSES OF AN ENEMY ARE DECEITFUL”
Proverbs 27:6
.
But beside these church duties, there are many other good works which deceive people.
.
For example, some people believe 
that because they are friendly and outgoing, that this somehow is proof that they are saved.
.
But think about it! Even some pets are more outgoing and friendly than other pets. It’s just the way that creatures are quite often, “hard-wired”, as the saying goes.
.
In other words, being friendly and outgoing does not necessarily prove that I am a Christian.

“(SATAN’S) MINISTERS ALSO…TRANSFORMED AS THE MINISTERS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS”
2nd Corinthians 11:14, 15
.
As a matter of fact, Satan often chooses friendly and outgoing people to become his so-called “ministers of righteousness” with the intent to infiltrate and infect some local church body with his or her world-loving ways.
.
And let’s face it! Many television (and radio) evangelists are extremely personable and charming and outgoing. And by this means, Satan can use these televangelists to bring in damnable heresies, thus deceiving the millions of more-or-less biblically-challenged and naïve followers.

MANY OTHER DECEPTIONS
.
Well, this is just one way that churchgoers are often deceived into believing that they are on the Highway to Heaven, when in truth, they are on the Broad Way that leads to destruction!
.
And there are many other good works that Satan will use to deceive the naïve church-world.
.
.
.
.
.
.
“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY!”
Proverbs 25:25
.
But there is some very Good News in all this negativity. And that Good News is, that the door of Salvation is still open for any and every lost soul, who desires Salvation, to enter therein.
.
Oh yes, it is a strait gate. And yes, it is a narrow way.
.
But it is the only true way that will soon lead to life everlasting in a wonderful land known as the Promised Land.

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN
.
.
.
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).
