Daily Devotional, Year 4 – April 25
.
.
.
.
A 3-Finger Judgment-Day,
.
Part 11:
“Every Man…His Labor…(Is) The Gift of God” FURTHER CONTINUED
.
.
.
.
.
“God that made the world…
And hath made of one blood
all nations of men for to dwell
on all the face of the earth,
and hath determined the times before appointed,
and the bounds of their habitation;”
Acts 17:24, 26
.
.
.
.
.
In yesterday’s devotional (click here) it was revealed that when the Moon is full, there are three faces etched into its surface: one that appears as a man (right), the second face as a wolf (see photo below), and the third face as a rabbit, or perhaps a mouse (left).
.
.
.
.
.
.
PHARISEEISM: THE SPIRIT OF PRIDE
.
But these two devotionals are focusing on the second face, the wolf-like beast (both of these pictures, left and right, the picture right being a caricature of the picture left).
.
If you will notice, this creature appears to have somewhat of a judgmental facial expression (drawing to the right is exaggerated for clarity). 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 outwardly moral spiritual leaders. And the Pharisees looked down on others with a judgmental eye (much like this wolf-like Moon beast).

TAKING CREDIT FOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS
.
Well, Let’s pick up where we left off.
.
Yes, in yesterday’s devotional (click here), a number of Bible passages were offered to confirm the idea that it is God, and not man who chooses the life circumstances of each and every human.
.
Listen to Paul’s rebuke to the Corinthians for their pride…
“For who maketh thee to differ from another?
and what hast thou that thou didst not receive?
now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory,
as if thou hadst not received it?”
1st Corinthians 4:7
.
But Paul pointed out to them that if there actually was anything good about them, it was merely a gift from God, and not inherently their own virtue.

GOD MADE…”THE DUMB…DEAF…THE SEEING…THE BLIND’
Exodus 4:11
.
And this same self-approbating error exists in today’s church-world. Today’s churches do not 
properly emphasize the fact that any truly good thing that a person possesses, is actually a gift of God.
.
But on the other hand, those who are living in unfortunate circumstances are not merely the products of bad choices, but are probably being pressed down by the unseen forces of Hell: Satan and his fellow evil-angels.
.
If the citizens of this fallen planet would really take hold of this truth, then all judging and condemning would come to a complete halt.

“And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and He (God) doeth according to His will…among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay His hand, or say unto Him, What doest Thou?”
Daniel 4:35
.
Compared to God’s infinite knowledge and wisdom, we are like little ants in our miniscule understanding. And yet, in His great love, our Heavenly Father has put each of us in our very own circumstances for various reasons:
.
1. To discover for our own self, that “my selfish ways do not bring me true happiness or peace, but rather bring sorrow, disappointment, and ultimately, sickness and death”.
.
2. In hopes that I might grow tired and weary of my selfish ways, and at last, begin to seek out to find Him, and return to Him forever.

LIVING IN A SPIRITUAL BATTLE-ZONE
.
And so, in light of these two devotionals, the plea goes out to each and every one of us to stop from all judging others, be they rich or be they poor, moral or immoral, sober or drunk, industrious or dysfunctional, etc…
.
We just do not realize how the unseen powers, both heavenly or hellish, are working behind the scenes in the life of each and every living soul!
.
.
.
.
.
.
“Judge not, that ye be not judged.
“
Matthew 7:1
.
And now that we have finally reached that great and fearful day of God’s Judgment, it is quite possible that those of us who thought that we were better than others just might find ourselves caught in a dramatic role-reversal!
.
Yes, the day has arrived in which those of us who looked down our noses at others might just wake up to discover that “I” am now the one begging on the street-corner or “I” am now the drunkard lying in the gutter, etc….

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY!”
Proverbs 25:25
.
Well, the Good News is, that we modern-day “Corinthians” can still repent of our proud pharisaism and plead for God to burn away the antichrist spirit completely and utterly out of our heart. Yes, we can fall down before the throne of God (spiritually, not literally) and beg for Him to do a work in our heart to crucify the “old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;” Ephesians 4:22
.
And then, when that Old Man is fully crucified, we will wholeheartedly agree with Paul…“Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.” 1st Timothy 1:15

“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.
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God,
that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day,”
Ephesians 6:12, 13

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 eyebrow 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.” Proverbs 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.
