“Thine heart was lifted up
because of thy beauty,
thou hast corrupted thy wisdom
by reason of thy brightness:
I will cast thee to the ground,
I will lay thee before kings,
that they may behold thee.”
Ezekiel 28:17

It’s a Rosie-The-Riveter world!
.
Well, isn’t it?
.
It’s an “I Can Do It!” world.
.
Well, don’t you believe it?
.
Okay, so that’s a bold statement. But just look around at this world!
.
From cradle-to-grave, we are taught that we must depend upon our own strength to get things done! And we are told we must rely upon our own intellect to solve our problems!
.
Yes, this is truly a Rosie-The-Riveter world in which the people attempt to live by their own strength and intellect, instead of trusting in God’s strength and relying on His infinite wisdom, as found in the Bible!

7 HEADS OF THE BEAST = THE 7 STARS OF REVELATION 12 DRAGON’S WAVE OF WATER
.
In yesterday’s devotional (click here to read), the parallel between the 7 heads of the Revelation 13 Antichrist Beast and the 7 stars which comprise the wave of water coming forth from the mouth of the Revelation 12 Dragon Constellation was made.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
WHAT ARE THE 7 HEADS/STARS?
.
And each of the 7 heads of the beast and each of the 7 bright stars (there are 3 more dim stars) which comprise this wave of water, represent the 7 kingdoms which have ruled over the world throughout history:
.
1st Head: Babylon (Man’s human pride),
.
2nd Head: Medo-Persia (Man’s greedy and forceful takeover of God’s territory),
.
3rd Head: Greece (Man’s self-elevating wisdom/strength replacing God’s wisdom/strength),
.
4th Head: Rome (Man ruling by hard-hearted totalitarianism),
.
5th Head: The Church of Rome (Man’s religious totalitarianism ruling over God’s Church-family),
.
6th Head: Atheism (Man, the supreme being ruling the world),
.
7th Head: Apostate Evangelicalism (Man’s world-loving, materialism-focused, spiritually adulterous, miracle-working counterfeit gospel ruling over God’s people).
.
Here in extremely concise language, is generally what the 7 heads of Satan’s Antichrist Beast are all about. And the 7 kingdoms are likewise represented by the 7 stars of the wave of water constellation which proceeds forth from the Dragon Constellation’s mouth.
.
.
.

.
FOOLISH HUMAN PRIDE
.
Now, as the saying goes, we’ve already gotten ourselves into some “very tall weeds” in this devotional. Yes, these are very complex concepts, to say the least! An entire book could be written on this subject.
.
Nevertheless, for the sake of brevity, we will simply skip over to the topic of foolish human pride, and how it relates to the 1st head of the beast, and likewise to the 1st of the 7 stars in the dragon constellation’s wave of water (mostly comprised of the Auriga Constellation).

THE GREAT IMAGE OF NEBUCHADNEZZAR: “Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?”
Daniel 4:30
.
When Daniel interpreted King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream about a great statue, the symbol of the world’s ruling kingdoms throughout history, the first king depicted was Nebuchadnezzar himself, corresponding to the head of gold.
.
Of course, the head of a person rules over his entire body. And so, the proud King Nebuchadnezzar was ultimately what this great statue image was all about: Human pride!
.
And Nebuchadnezzar was all about pride, foolish human pride! After all, King Nebuchadnezzar had built his glorious kingdom of Babylon, with all its grandeur: gardens and architectural wonders and wine, women, and song! And Nebuchadnezzar was proud of his accomplishments.
.
He took full credit for all his accomplishments, not realizing that it was actually God who had empowered Nebuchadnezzar to attain to all those achievements.
.

.
.
WE’RE JUST LIKE NEBUCHADNEZZAR!
.
And isn’t it true that we humans follow closely in Nebuchadnezzar’s footsteps?
.
Yes, we often pat ourselves on the back for our own personal accomplishments too, don’t we?
.
Pride is a very great motivator!
.
It is the fuel which drives much of this world’s business engine!
.
It inspires nations and kings to rise up in power!
.
It causes individuals to strive for excellence (and riches and power) in many endeavors!
.
It encourages much of the sports world, as well as most any type of competition!
.
And pride drives much of the entertainment world, as well!
.
And it can cause people to beautify their homes, and gardens, and lands, and even themselves, all in effort to impress the neighbors and all who drive by or visit!
.
And pride can even motivate unsaved individuals to become humanitarians, giving their time, energy, and means to various philanthropic causes (often holding back enough wealth to still live in luxury)!
.
Yes, human pride is perhaps the world’s greatest motivator!

GOOD NEWS! A WAY OF ESCAPE NOW AVAILABLE!
.
Well, there is Good News amidst all this negativity. Yes, any man, woman, or child who desires to throw off this proud Luciferian spirit and become ruled over by Christ’s meek and lowly Spirit can cry out to Him for deliverance. God is just waiting for any soul who is willing to renounce this proud and selfish world.
.
And Jesus calls out to each of us…
“Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.
Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me;
for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.”
Matthew 11:28-30
.
Yes, Jesus offers us the Spirit of meekness and lowliness, just as He is meek and lowly.

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.” Revelation 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).
