Daily Devotional, Year 4 – April 24
.
.
.
.
A 3-Fingered Judgment-Day,
.
Part 10:
“Every Man…His Labor…(Is) The Gift of God” CONTINUED
.
.
.
.
.
“Every man also
to whom God hath given riches and wealth…
and to rejoice in his labour…
this is the gift of God.”
Ecclesiastes 5:19
.
.
.
.
.
When the Moon is full, there are three faces etched into its surface: one that appears as a man, the second as a wolf (or some other dog-like beast), and the third as a rabbit, or perhaps a rodent.
.
Well, without getting too complex, let’s just examine the wolf-like face (top right).
.
If you will notice, this creature appears to have somewhat of a judgmental expression. Yes, one of his eyebrows is raised, causing him to appear as if he is looking down at the world with a 
judgmental eye.
.
This face represents a proud Pharisee. This is because the Pharisees were a class of very moral spiritual leaders. And the Pharisees looked down on others with a judgmental eye (much like this wolf-like Moon beast).
.
.
.
.
.
.
PHARISEEISM IS THE SPIRIT OF SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS
.
Well, there may be no more Pharisees existing in today’s world. Nevertheless, the spirit of Pharisaism is still alive and well! This is because this world is filled with pride, pseudo-moralism, and judging. As a matter of fact, the average person probably judges others (in thought) throughout his or her entire day!
.
And so, the spirit of pride and judging can be found in every human, to one extent or another.

JUDGING OTHERS
.
You see, the Pharisees were extremely moral, wealthy, full of good works, and looked down on others whom they deemed less than themselves in those same areas of behavior. In other words, they judged others by their own personal standards.
.
And in today’s world, we tend to judge those who are “the dregs of society” as deserving of their unfortunate circumstances because they are just a product of a lifetime of making bad choices.

“NONE RIGHTEOUS, NO, NOT ONE!”
.
Now listen to God’s assessment of the human race…
“As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
There is none that understandeth,
there is none that seeketh after God.
They are all gone out of the way,
they are together become unprofitable;
there is none that doeth good, no, not one…etc.”
Romans 3:10-12
.
Yes, this indictment by God covers the entire human race, including you and me!
.
We are all just hopeless, miserable sinners, incapable of making good decisions, by our own human intellect.
.

So, why do some people do so well in life while others do so poorly?

GOD CHOOSES OUR HABITATION
.
Listen to how God is in total control of each human…
“God that made the world and all things therein…
and hath determined the times before appointed,
and the bounds of their habitation;
That they should seek the Lord,
if haply they might feel after Him, and find Him,
though He be not far from every one of us:”
Acts 17:24, 26, 27
.
Here is a very cryptic, yet revealing passage, which says that it is God who chooses “the bounds of their (and our) habitation”.
.
In other words, it is He who determines each of our living situations, and not we ourselves! In this way, He orchestrates our individual circumstances in effort to draw us back to Him.

“IT IS GOD WHO “MAKETH THE DUMB…DEAF…SEEING…BLIND…”
.
Now couple the above verse from Acts 17, with this next passage…
“And the LORD said unto him (Moses),
‘Who hath made man’s mouth?
or who maketh the dumb,
or deaf,
or the seeing,
or the blind?
have not I the LORD?”
Exodus 4:11
.
Here is another confirmation that it is God, and not man, who determines the (boundaries) of each person’s circumstances.
.
.
.
.
.
.
GOD IN FULL ORCHESTRATING CONTROL!
.
And here is yet another confirmation that God is in ultimate control of mankind…
“And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing:
and He does according to His will in the army of Heaven,
and among the inhabitants of the earth:
and none can stay His hand,
or say unto Him, What doest Thou?”
Daniel 4:35
.
Here is revealed that God does His own will in the life of each and every human.

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN
.
.
“THE SCORNER (THE PHARISEE)”
.
Please tilt your head to the left. Do you see a man with a very long pointed nose. (Obviously, the 
sketch to the right is just an exaggeration in order to help you find the face in the photo to the left.)
.
Do you see an angry look? His right eye-brow is raised as if he is judging.
.
This second face in the Moon appears to be that of a combination of a man as well as a fox. Or maybe a wolf. Doesn’t he have a long narrow nose like a wolf or fox? Maybe even a dog. Nevertheless, the expression on his face, as he appears to look down upon the Earth, is that of scorn.
.
Unlike the first Moon-man’s sad look of shock and awe (click here to see and read about); this ‘man/fox/wolf/dog’ appears to be that of anger and scorn. As if he is disgusted at the sinful planet below. He is very moral, you see.
.
.
.
.
.
THIS BEAST WITHIN
.
Well, the Bible has much to say about Pharisees. And the Bible has much to say about wolves, and foxes, and dogs. And this wolf-face inscribed in the Moon has much to tell us about ourselves.
.
So, if you are a truth-seeker, then this article will be an eye-opener, as we explore just what the Bible has to say about these things. And the fact is, this Pharisee Moon-Beast is in the heart of each and every human. And so, if you (or me) find that this wolf-man has some things in common, please don’t despair. For God is giving us these signs, while there still is time. While there still is hope.
.
.
.
.
.
THE PHARISEES…
.
“Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.” Prov. 21:24
.
Yes, this wolf-like beast-face in the Moon, is what the Bible calls a proud Pharisee. They were the morality crowd. They were the finger pointers. They were the scorners. They didn’t realize that their own pride was even more reprehensible to God than the drunkenness, immorality, or sexual perversions of the unsaved of the world.
