The Great Babylonian Dream-Machine!
.
Part 5:
“Cookie-Cutter Lifestyles!” CONTINUED
To read part 1, go here…May 6 (The Great Babylonian Dream-Machine!)
.

“For the day of the LORD of hosts
shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty…
…and upon all pleasant pictures.
…and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
And the idols He shall utterly abolish.
Isaiah 2:12, 2:16-18
.
.
.
.
.
In yesterday’s devotional (click here), the concept was revealed of how we now live in a cornucopian super-society in which various enviable lifestyles almost seem to be pressed out on some giant factory cookie-cutter assembly-line.
.
Yes, and these mass-produced lifestyles are then marketed around the world via television, radio, magazines, Internet, billboards, and whatever other means possible!
.
And with the help of glamorous spokespeople acting as frontmen and frontwomen, Satan, the Merchant of pride and selfishness, sells his “product” to the unsuspecting multitudes around the world!
.
.
.
.
.
.
EVEN LITTLE CHILDREN!
.
And for the most part, the vast multitudes around the world are very content to be a part of this devilish kind of world-order.
.
Even little children are indoctrinated into this “Babylonian Dream-Machine” culture at a very young age!
.
.
.
.
.
NAME YOUR LIFESTYLE!
.
Using the television and other mass media, “The Prince of this World”, Lucifer, works behind the scenes to romanticize many varied lifestyles, glorifying them before the onlooking world.
.
Yes, just go through the list of television shows, past and present, which have glorified various “cookie-cutter” lifestyles…
.
…TV shows about doctors and lawyers, and teachers, and fire-fighters…
.
…and shows about presidents, politicians, popstars, religious prelates…
.
…even TV shows about drug dealers, cowboys, business tycoons, truckers…
.
…and just about any and every other career and profession one can possibly think of!

THE IMAGE THAT SPEAKS
.
Yes, that unseen Archenemy of Heaven has perfected his deceptive arts to the point that it is seemingly impossible to resist his temptation…
.
…which often come out of Hollywood’s smokes-stacks like giant puffy white clouds, and all this on a 24/7/365 basis!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
“…that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
2nd Thessalonians 3:12
.
Needless to say, many of these careers and jobs are necessary services for the inhabitants of this fallen world.
.
And there is certainly nothing innately evil about those necessary jobs and careers.
.
Nevertheless, the “god of this world” can’t let things simply be!
.
No, in these last hours of history, he has received permission in his role as “The False Prophet”, to give these mundane jobs and careers a selfishly proud aura about them, glorifying them in the eyes of this fallen world of sinners.

NOT SO GLAMOROUS AFTER ALL
.
Now of course, many people who choose to enter one of these various “oft-glorified” lifestyles, may do so because they were once mesmerized by watching one or more of these glamorizing television shows.
.
And more often-than-not, these deceived ones eventually discover the reality of life, that their “glamorous” career-choice was not so glamorous after all (outside of daily bragging rights).
.
No, because this present earth is a world of sin, sorrow, and selfishness, there is no true or lasting glory in these so-called “glamorous” careers.
.
.
.
.
.
.
FALLING STARS
.
Even the very crème-de-la-crème of society, such as being “super-stars”, eventually become victims of the worst human folly, degradation and tragic circumstances…
.
…divorce, drug abuse, jealousy, fighting, embarrassing situations, loss-of-inspiration, alcoholism, bankruptcy, and simply getting old, sick, and wrinkled are just a few of the oft-unseen circumstances of those societal elites whom we imagined lived a charmed life!

“COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE”
Revelation 18:4
.
Well, amidst all this negativity is a wonderful heavenly light, which still shines brightly in this dark and sad world!
.
Yes, there is an end-time exodus now occurring, in which those of us who have suffered under the cruel hand of the “god of this world”!
.
Yes, we are now being called to “come and follow Me”, as Jesus leads us upward, and out of all the sadness, and the heartache, and madness of this tragic and decaying world!

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN
.
.
.
LOCATING THE DRAGON of REVELATION 12 CONSTELLATION .
.
The Dragon Constellation can be located by finding Orion in winter months.
.
The Dragon is to Orion’s left, and the Dragon’s mouth is right next to Orion’s shield.
.
This Dragon’s mouth is the V-like constellation The Hyades Cluster, which is the very same constellation that comprises the head of Taurus the Bull.
.
In other words, Hyades is also known as the head of Taurus the Bull.
.
And Hyades is the mouth of this Dragon.
.
The tip of the Dragon’s tail is composed of that star-cluster known as The Pleiades.
.
The Pleiades is actually in the shape of a lion’s furry tassel tip of his tail.
.
The sketch below shows this Pleiades as the tail tip.
.
.
.
Now with aid of a dark starry night, you may begin to connect this mouth and the tail with a very long body in an oval shape.
.
The front and back legs are very well-defined with stars.
.
The front legs are made partially of Taurus.
.
The back legs and rear fin are made of the Cetus Constellation.
.
But the long oval-shaped body has relatively few stars, yet can been seen, howbeit with a dark starry night.
.
The four stars of the front fins are made partially of Taurus.
.
This Dragon constellation appears in the eastern horizon about mid-summer in the pre-dawn hours, spewing his flood-waters northward toward the Woman of Revelation 12 (Woman in Travail).
.
The Wave of Water is primarily composed of the Constellation Auriga.
.
