The Devil Made Me Do It!

Part 21:

“The Dumbing Down of Society About History”

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:

because thou hast rejected knowledge,

I will also reject thee”

Hosea 4:6

.

.

.

.

.

 

Back in the 1970’s, a certain saying was popularized…“The Devil made me do it! The Devil made me do it!”https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Flip_Wilson_-_1970.jpg

.

And this was merely mocking Christians, who were seemingly obsessed with pointing the finger at the Devil.

.

Then this unbelieving world could all joke and mock “the silly and absurd notionthat Satan is a very active and powerful force controlling the peoples of this world, by laughingly saying…“The Devil made me do it! The Devil made me do it!

SATAN, “THE GOD OF THIS WORLD”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Martin,_John_-_Satan_presiding_at_the_Infernal_Council_-_1824.JPG

2nd Corinthians 4:4

.

But the horrifying fact is, the Devil does indeed cause the vast percentage of the world’s inhabitants to do a great amount of things!

.

There have been several articles concerning “The Dumbing Down of Society” (click here to read).

.

And yet, today’s devotional will home-in on the lack of history concerning the Church that society should be teaching, but does not.

INVISIBLE DEVIL STILL A VERY HARD WORKER!

.

But why should it be a surprise that society avoids Church history? After all, this planet is ruled over by “the god of this world”, Lucifer, that fallen, rebel angel! (see 2nd Corinthians 4:4)

.

And even though he keeps an extremely low profile, his evil and destructive works are very visible in every direction one looks!

HIGHER THOUGHT NOT VALUED SO MUCH

.

But in thttp://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tupac_graffiti_Rio_de_janeiro.jpgoday’s western societies, there is now occurring a dumbing down of the culture!

.

Oh yes, there continues to be many scientific and technological discoveries. That aspect of knowledge still grows.

.

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Elvis_Presley_promoting_Jailhouse_Rock.jpgBut higher thought is rapidly devolving.

.

In the music world, the entertainment world, as well as general wisdom, the general populace is no longer excelling, but rather becoming increasingly base and crude, with each passing year.

AMERICAN HISTORY NOW DE-EMPHASIZED

.

But even American history is no longer required in school, especially since it involves the Church coming here to escape the tyranny by the church-state beast-system of Europe during the Reformation years. And of course, because the founding fathers of this nation were Bible-based, today’s atheistic school-systems are totally averse to teaching any such “dangerous” events.

.

And so, just ask almost any young person the most basic questions concerning history, and most of time, chances are, they don’t know what you are speaking of!

“…yea, let God be true, but every man a liar…”

Romans 3:4

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Denial.png .

And if all this censoring of history is not evil enough, there is another phenomenon which carries this evil to an entirely new level!

.https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Denial.png

Yes, there is an ongoing effort by atheists to actually rewrite history, in a very successful campaign to promote their own political agenda!

.

And believe it or not, a good share of the general populace are just fine with this grand deception! In other words, they know in their heart that this a great deception, and yet they have no problem with such dishonesty!

.

Amazing? Yes, very!

TELEVISION/INTERNET

.

And just look at television and Internet! The great literary works of yesteryear have greatly been replaced by TV dramas which often capitalize on pride, murder, revenge, lust, greed, hate, and other animal-like behaviors.

.

And Internet is even worse, pushing the lowest, crudest, lewdest, and vilest videos, etc., steering young people away from anything elevating and ennobling.

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Every_day.jpgSPIRITUAL DEATH-CAMPS?

.

One religious commentator recently made the comment that he views public schools as being spiritual death-camps! In other words, Satan has designed public schools to suck every bit of spiritual life out of students, eventually turning them into God-hating atheists.

.

And the general consensus among Christian thought-leaders is that public schools no longer teach children “how to think”, but rather, “what to think.”

“THE SPIRIT OF ERROR…NOW WORKS IN THE CHILDREN OF DISOBEDIENCE”

1st John 4:6 & Ephesians 2:2

.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Martin,_John_-_Satan_presiding_at_the_Infernal_Council_-_1824.JPGWell, of course, all this ignorance and deception are not merely the fault of our school systems. No, this is actually the evil workings of “the god of this world”, Lucifer, who controls, to a great extent, what the societies of the world do and don’t do.

.

And let’s face it, young people who have been dumbed-down in their knowledge of history are very pliable and much easier to manipulate in any direction which his Satanic-Majesty wishes to lead them…“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge”, says the Lord! Hosea 4:6

.

Yes, as this above verse reveals, a lack of knowledge is a very dangerous thing!

Proverbs 25:25

.

Well, there is some very Good News! Yes, the call to come out of our ignorance goes out to any and all men, women, and children who desire to escape from this floating Devil’s Island prison-house, Planet Earth!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Luther95theses.jpg“a man of knowledge increaseth strength”

Proverbs 24:5

.

And every wise parent should take time to read to their children from such great history books of the Church, as Ellen White’s, “The Great Controversy”, which explains in simple language, the basic history of the Church for the past 2,000 years and onward till the Return of Christ in the clouds of glory.

.

This kind of daily enlightenment will prepare children for their eternal future, as well as giving them knowledge, wisdom, and understanding for the present-day.

And those who desire with all their hearts to renounce this present world, and begin to live for the Promised Land, which is soon to come, will want to remember this closing “exceeding great and precious promise”

.

“Through wisdom is an house builded;

and by understanding it is established:http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:USMC-06831.jpg

And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled

with all precious and pleasant riches.

A wise man is strong;

yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.

For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war:

and in multitude of counsellors there is safety…

Thy testimonies also are my delight

and my counsellors”

Proverbs 24-3-6 & Psalm 119:24

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN

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.

Dragon of Revelation 12 Constellation

.

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).
