Daily Devotional, Year 3 – January 24
.
.
.
.
Revelation 18:2:
“A Cage of Every Unclean & Hateful Bird!
.
Part 4:
“The Social Club Gospel, Continued: Accepting A Form of Godliness”
To read Part 1, go here…January 15 (Revelation 18:2: “A Cage of Every Unclean & Hateful Bird!”)
.
.
.
.
.
“And he (the mighty angel) cried mightily with a strong voice,
saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen,
and is become the habitation of devils,
and the hold of every foul spirit,
and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.”
Revelation 18:2

“FROM SUCH TURN AWAY!”
.
[continuing from yesterday]…And so, to a great degree, today’s churches are filled with well-behaved and moralistic parishioners!
.
But notice what Paul’s advice is, concerning such wickedness enshrouded by a moralistic “form of godliness”! 2nd Timothy 3:5
.
Worldliness combined with a degree of morality is by far the most deceptive form of evil there is!
.
Paul warns us, “From such turn away!” 2nd Timothy 3:5.
.
.
.
.
.
.
“BABYLON IS FALLEN”
.
Oh well, there are many who would have us believe they are “crucified 
with Christ”.
But if the Holy Spirit has vacated the churches, then such death-to-self is literally impossible…
.
Listen…“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine;
but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers,
having itching ears;
And they shall turn away their ears from the truth…“
2nd Timothy 4:3, 4 (Condensed)
.
Here above is described a total apostasy in which “itching ears” have prevailed!
.
And so, the result of all this is merely a congregation which is mostly filled with nice, friendly, and moral people who are somewhat zealous for Jesus!

A LIVING FAITH!
.
And God’s admonition, yes, His command for us is to,
“Come out from among them…
and I will receive you,
And will be a Father unto you,
and ye shall be My sons and daughters,
saith the Lord Almighty.”
2nd Corinthians 6:17, 18 (Condensed for brevity)
.
This is what true and living faith is all about, in obeying God’s commands when human logic counsels us otherwise!

.
.
.
.
.
A PLACE OF REFUGE
.
Now the Good News is, that God has given us more than ample provision in the place we are to flee to!
.
Listen to Isaiah 30:25…
“And there shall be upon every high mountain,
and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of waters
in the day of the great slaughter,
when the towers fall.”
(Parenthetical comments by this Editor)
.
Yes, God is letting us know that our waters of grace and heavenly manna will be abundantly provided on those high spiritual hills where we must flee to!
.
And He will supply all our needs, as well as all our children’s needs in the mountainous strongholds of our refuge when the towers (churches) have fallen!

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN
.
.
.
“And there appeared a great wonder (sign) in heaven;
a woman…
And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle,
that she might fly into the wilderness”
.
Revelation 12:1, 14
.
.
.
.
FROM WHERE & TO WHERE DOES SHE FLEE?
.
WOMAN ROTATES THROUGH THE SEASONS…
.
.
This page is about the Big Dipper, also called the Great Bear constellation (Ursa Major ).
However, the ancient pagan cultures did not see this constellation as God intended it to be seen.
It is actually a headless woman in childbirth.
This is seen in springtime. It is seen in the northern skies.
.
.
But as the seasons progress, this travailing woman flips upside down, now appearing as a woman with upraised arms like eagle wings who is running (eventually flying, as shown in sketch on right) into the wilderness (westward).
The single star representing her birth-child (Christ) now becomes her head (“Christ is the head of the church.” Ephesians 5:23
.
The 7 Stars (Big Dipper) is easy to see with its very bright 7 stars.
But the Revelation 12 Woman (Ursa Major) must be seen on a dark starry night, away from city lights.
.
These are star charts from Wikipedia, with sketches of the Woman added.
