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
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
God originally created this world to be a beautiful home for Mankind.
.
Yet when we fell from grace, this world began to change in many respects.
.
Nature, to a great extent, began to take on some changes. Many creatures and plants, etc., gradually took on different aspects, eventually becoming dangerous to other animals, and some even dangerous to people.

CUTTLEFISH: THE ULTIMATE IMPOSTORS!
.
One of the most amazing creatures ever created is the Cuttlefish!
.
The reason why this creature is so incredible, is that it can just glance at its environment and instantly change its body to imitate that environment!
.
As a matter of fact, whatever the Cuttlefish passes over, it instantly begins to change into the same color and shape, of that undersea object!

CUTTLEFISH: SYMBOL OF SATAN
.
Well, God has created this little predator to give us further insight into the inner-workings of the kingdom of Satan.
(As this little 26 second video below shows, the Cuttlefish has the ability to paralyze his potential victims, by using his hypnotizing strobe-light effect! Amazing!)
.
Certainly, Satan and his unseen armies love to make themselves invisible! That way, they can work their misery and woe upon this unsuspecting world, without its inhabitants becoming alarmed, causing us to rebel against Satan’s kingdom, as we flee to God!
.
And isn’t true that the pleasures and riches of this world, like the cuttlefish’s strobe-hypnotizer, have a mesmerizing effect upon us?
.
.
.
.
.
“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 of 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 society.
.
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, filled with comedy in the pulpits, and intolerance against those Christians who disagree with those false church-doctrines of the mainstream “orthodoxy”.

“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. In other words, like the cuttlefish disguises itself by morphing into its surroundings, so too, Satan likewise is able to change his appearance into, “an angel of light”. (see 2nd Corinthians 11:15)
.
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.

A LIE REPEATED OFTEN
.
Joseph Goebbels, Propaganda Minister for Adolph Hitler once said, “If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it. If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth.”
.
Yes, via the media giants, Satan is now able to indoctrinate the world (and the church-world) into his fallen image and character!
.
And isn’t it also true that there is now a whole lot of demonizing going on! Yes, in these last moments of time, Satan has stepped up his dragon-like rhetoric, now branding politically incorrect people as “Nazis”, “Fascists”, and/or “systemically racist”! And this has been very effective in dividing this nation, and instilling violent hatred against one-another!
.
And using the major media as willing accomplices, the public now gets a full plate of these derogatory names (along with their daily world-indoctrination) being repeatedly chanted on a 24/7/365 basis to the point that these false accusations against their political adversaries eventually begin to take root in the minds of the unsaved multitudes.
.
Yes, these modern-day ideology-warriors in both politics, and also in the media, instinctively know that George Goebbels was correct in his assertion that “a lie repeated often enough, it becomes truth”.
.
.
.
.
.
.
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, 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!
.
And any man, woman, and child who is not wearing the armor of Christ is fair game for the Enemy of Souls, not only to inhabit their bodies, but to marshal them into his vast army of “soldiers for Satan” in his warfare against Heaven, and against the Church-Elect: The Church-Faithful! (See Ephesians 2:2 for reference of inhabiting their bodies with an antichrist spirit).

GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY
Proverbs 25:25
.
And yet, 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.
.
And though we may now find ourselves in the eye of this “Armageddon” storm, let’s not imagine for a moment that such a short period of calm is anything but Satan’s further deception to bring a false sense of “peace and safety”, while individual souls are deciding which world they will live for, either for Heaven, or for this doomed antichrist world-system! (Click here on 1st Thessalonians 5:3, for “peace and safety” reference)

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