Cuttlefish & The False Prophet,
.
Part 11:
“And He Spake As A Dragon!”
FURTHER CONTINUED: “Brainwashing The World!”
To read Part 1, go here…April 1 (Cuttlefish & The False Prophet)
.
.

.
.
“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
.
.
.
.
.
“THE KISSES OF AN ENEMY ARE DECEITFUL!”
Proverbs 27:6
.
Truly it can be said, we live in a “Cuttlefish World”.
.
Yes, like that incredible impostor, this world has been changed into a seemingly benign and beneficent society to a great degree.
.
Oh yes, there are plenty of underlying dangers and evils lurking out there!

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
.
This nation originally arose, “up out of the earth”, in the wilderness of North America…
.
…an entirely new nation founded, by God’s mercy, as a safe-haven…
.
…a refuge for those escaping the long siege by the tyrannical church-state beast system dictatorship during the Dark Ages of Europe.
.
And God gave this fledgling nation a constitution based on the principle of liberty of conscience and freedom of political/religious speech, as well as freedom to own property and make other personal choices.
.
.
.
.
.
.
2nd BEAST ARISES OUT OF THE EARTH
.
But nations rise and nations eventually fall.
.
And America left herself open to secularists moving in and slowly taking control, not only of the government, but also of the entire culture!
.
And out of the blessed beginnings of this liberty-of-conscience society, Satan and his evil armies moved in and began to morph this former Christianity-based society into a secular, even an atheistic culture.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
THE FALSE PROPHET BEAST
.
This was the fulfillment of what the Bible foretold concerning the Revelation 13 “False Prophet”, the 2nd Beast which:
.
1. Arose “from out of the earth” (by means of vast opulence derived from the manufacturing of natural resources along with earthy lusts)
.
2. Having two horns as a Lamb (“the political party of so-called ‘compassion'” & “the political party of so-called ‘morality'”)
.
3. But this beast power, “spake as a dragon” (speaking lies, censorship, and oppression through today’s major media Goliaths)
.
Yes, tragically, this once great nation has now been transformed by “the god of this world”, Lucifer, into the False Prophet of Revelation 13.
.
.
.
.
.
.
“AND HE SPAKE AS A DRAGON”
Revelation 13:11
.
But today’s devotional will spotlight on one dreadful aspect of this False Prophet: “Its ability to appear as a lamblike beast, and yet speak as a dragon”.
.
Oh yes, Satan has been in control of the major media for a long time, speaking as a dragon.
.
And how has he spoken through the media Goliaths as a dragon?
.
Well, just think of all the programs which teach devilish doctrines! Evolution, atheism, prosperity-driven gospels, false sciences, hedonism, and such-like philosophies.
.
But in addition to these, just think about all the radio/television/Internet dramas which promote sexual depravity, greed, violence, revenge, hatred, pride, lust, dishonesty, indifference.
.
And lastly, the various radio and Internet ministries are speaking as a dragon by pushing many false doctrines and encouraging a world-loving prosperity gospel.

“Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away”
2nd Timothy 3:5
.
But Satan is no dummy as many mistakenly suppose!
.
No, just the opposite! This master of deception knows well that he must provide a thin veneer of false goodness, to mask the overt wickedness of the mass-media.
.
Hence, he has enshrouded these evils in an outward cloak of humanitarianism and counterfeit compassion, just like that undersea “Master-of-Deception”, the Cuttlefish!.
.
And so, all Satan’s wickedness being broadcast 24/7/365 is constantly being interrupted by some “benign” 60-second humanitarian advertisement!
.
And let’s face it! Political correctness gives many or most people enough self-righteousness to make us feel good about our otherwise godlessly selfish lives.

SATAN, THE ACTUAL SOURCE OF ALL THIS BRAINWASHING
.
Well, even though many would like to, we simply cannot put all the blame on politicians, spokespeople, voters, nor even on the various media Goliaths.
.
No, the true source of all the current brainwashing and demonizing is “the god of this world”, Satan! (see 2nd Corinthians 4:4)
.
And with the ability to speak “as a dragon”, this False Prophet, Satan can now fully brainwash and indoctrinate the various societies much, much more easily than in former times!

GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY
Proverbs 25:25
.
And even though the hour is late, God has allowed enough time for those who hear this message, to turn away from this soon-coming Time of Trouble, also called The Day of The Lord and Armageddon.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Yes, here is the Good News! The Bible is now sending out the following soul-saving message…
.
“Come, My people, enter thou into thy chambers,
and shut thy doors about thee:
hide thyself as it were for a little moment,
until the indignation be overpast.
For, behold, the LORD cometh out of His place
to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity:
the earth also shall disclose her blood,
and shall no more cover her slain.”
Isaiah 26:20
.
Yes, there exists a place of refuge, a safe-haven from the approaching apocalyptic storm (and has already begun) which will ensnare the entire world in Satan’s deadly trap.

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 7/10 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).
.
But before we explore the floods, let’s look at one more number from that same passage in Revelation…
