And He Spake as a Dragon!

Part 3
“Satan’s Persecution of Jews”

“And I beheld another beast
coming up out of the earth;
and he had two horns like a lamb,
and he spake as a dragon.“
Revelation 13:11
.
.
.
.
Many years ago, two young boys were walking by some religious schoolground. The first boy said to the other, “Let’s get a drink from this water-fountain.”
.
Out of the clear blue, the other young boy disdainfully retorted, “Naw, that’s ‘Jew-water’!” The first boy didn’t answer back, but looked dumbfounded at such a comment (probably mostly because he was a student at that same religious school).
.
But the fact is, the second young boy had absolutely no idea what he was saying!
.
After all, it wasn’t even a Jewish school, but actually was operated by some Christian denomination.
.
Years later, the other boy, now fully grown, thought back and wondered, “Why in the world did I make such an outrageously harsh and stupid denunciation, especially since I had not the slightest clue what a Jew actually was at such a young age?!”

“We are become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.”
Psalm 79:4
.
The Bible reveals that Satan has been attacking Israel and the Jewish people almost since the days of Abraham. Certainly, Abraham’s son, Isaac, had a number of his wells stolen by Philistines and others. (See Genesis 26)
.
The Old Testament is literally saturated with true accounts of Israel’s conflicts with Philistines and others.

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against…spiritual wickedness in high places.”
Ephesians 6:11, 12
.
But the Bible reveals that it is not merely mortal people who are the only ones persecuting God’s people.
.
Listen to God’s Word…
“Put on the whole armour of God,
that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
but against principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
Ephesians 6:11, 12
.
Here we see that our true enemy is that invisible spirit of evil, who works through the human race to create all the sins and troubles which this world is literally dripping with!

“Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you”
1st John 3:13
.
It’s truly amazing to see how quickly the hatred for the Jewish people has intensified and spread its tentacles in every direction! But should we be surprised to see all the hatred which exists today against Jews? Oh yes, such hatred is only to be expected by those who live in today’s “Philistine” (This name is now corrupted to “Palestine”).
.
Nevertheless, it’s amazing to see the same hatred for Jews by a great multitude from practically all nations! It is the same hatred which Adolph Hitler and the Nazis had for the Jewish people!
.
.
.
.
.
THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA: “And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.“
.
Yes, it’s not difficult to see the Nazi spirit rising up today! And this hatred is largely propagated by today’s media Goliaths, whom the Bible prophesies “and he spake as a dragon”!
.
Just go on the Internet and be horrified at all the vitriolic disdain cast down upon the Jewish race! Or read about the violent attacks on Jews in many western nations! And it is very probable that many hate-filled young adults could not even be able to locate Israel on a map! And yet, they somehow have an innate hatred for Jewish people!

“If the world hate you, ye know that it hated Me (Jesus) before it hated you”
John 15:18
.
But don’t believe for a minute that such unexplainable pandemic hatred will only exist for Jews!
.
No, but rather, Satan will increasingly turn his guns on the Christian community, as well: on those who are the “called, and chosen, and faithful.” Revelation 17:14

“the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:”
.
Those who have no personal issue with Jews show their hatred of Jews is borne by the indwelling of Satan, even as is written…“Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:” Ephesians 2:2
.
In this above verse, it is revealed that Satan, whom the Bible refers to as “the prince of the power of the air”, is the spirit which works in the unsaved people of the world.
.
Therefore, it is small wonder that Satan’s long-time and ongoing hatred of Jews is also manifest in his followers, i.e., the unbelieving multitudes in the world.

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY!”
Proverbs 25:25
.
The Good News is, that God is now calling all people to return to Him, crying out for a new heart, which will put a fervent brotherly love and compassion, not only for the Jewish people, but for each and every lost soul!
.
And, for those who are suffering persecution from the loyal citizenry of this antichrist world-system, God is allowing these troubles in the hope that we might cry out to our Savior, “that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men…” 2nd Thessalonians 3:2

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN

“Multitudes, multitudes in the ‘Valley of Decision’…
.
for the day of the Lord is near in the ‘Valley of Decision’.”
.
“The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining…
.
“The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem…
.
“And the heavens and the earth shall shake…
.
“But the LORD will be the hope of His people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
.
Joel 3:14-16

LOCATING THIS CONSTELLATION GROUP…
.
“Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.” Micah 4:1, 2
.
Look eastward in the early summer through fall. Find the Cassiopeia Constellation. Cassiopeia is the Mount of Blessing. In this sketch, it is the farthest mountain to the left. In the sky, it is the northernmost of these three mountains when facing eastward. It somewhat resembles a pyramid, as do the other two.
.
Then find the second pyramid to its right (south).
.
Then go a little further south to the next third pyramid. The third snow-cap is the Destroying Mountain Constellation.
.
These three pyramids are the snow-capped portion of these three mountains in this sketch. (of course, you won’t see the snow-caps in the sky. They are just an embellishment in this sketch to present a concept-EDITOR).
.
.
.
.
.
.
THE VALLEY OF DECISION CONSTELLATION GROUP.
.
They appear in mid-summer in the eastern skies in pre-dawn hours. These are made of Cassiopeia (mount on left), and various stars from the Andromeda Constellation (valley) and Pegasus (Mount of Cursing (middle mount) and the “Destroying Mountain” (right)), and Pisces (“The Broad Way to Hell”). The galaxy which appears to be climbing the Mountain of Blessing is the Andromeda Galaxy.
.
The above Wikipedia star-chart shows this amazing constellation group as it appears from June to fall, just prior to the winter constellation group. Actually, these Valley of Decision Constellations appear in early summer in the pre-dawn hours. (Editor of this website has sketched in this constellation group onto this above Wikipedia star-chart.)
