Television and The Image That Speaks,

Part 6:

“What’s Your Delusion?”

To read Part 1, click here…October 27th (Television and the Image that Speaks)

.

“And he (the 2nd Beast) had power

to give life unto the image of the (1st) beast,

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Burgkmair_whore_babylon_color.jpgthat the image of the (1st) beast

should both speak, and cause

that as many as would not worship

the image of the (1st) beast should be killed.”

Revelation 13:15

.

.

.

.

.

In the above verse, a truer fulfillment has never existed until this very era in which images have now begun to speak.

.

Yes, television and Internet have now been given the power to speak while presenting images which promote the qualities of this Luciferian-antichrist-world-system.

.

.

.

.

.

.

LUCIFER: “THE GOD OF THIS WORLD”

2nd Corinthians 4:4

.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Martin,_John_-_Satan_presiding_at_the_Infernal_Council_-_1824.JPGListen…“They (antichrists) are of the world:

therefore speak they of the world,

and the world heareth them.”

1st John 4:5 (Parenthesis added by website editor)

.

Yes, this world has been under the invisible rulership of Lucifer since the fall of mankind.

.

Oh yes, there is a form of godliness in the world.

.

And yet, it is not of God, but is designed to deceive people into believing that good exists here. (see 1st John 5:19 & 2nd Timothy 3:5)

THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST: SATAN

.

Now, back to the subject of television and the World-Wide-Web. 

.

These inventions were greatly designed to conform mankind into the image of Lucifer. 

.

But not everyone has the same type of lusts.

.

.

.

.

.

.

“…the lust of the flesh…the lust of the eyes…the pride of life…”

1st John 2:16

.

And so, “the god of this world” understands this duality and has designed these mediums to appeal to the varied minds of humans.

.

For little children, foolish talk & joking may be more appealing. (see Ephesians 5:2, 3)

.

For teens, sexuality may have a greater appeal.

.

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Texting_closeup.jpgFor others, it may be killing and revenge.

.

For still others, romance may be their desire.

.

Or various dramas for differing appetites.

.

Or faith-killing nature shows promoting evolution.

.

Or the hateful political news programs.

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:James_Bond_Themed_Prop_Hire.jpgHEAVENLY or HELLISH ROLE-MODELS?

.

As most everyone in the Christian community understands, the Bible uses, not only Jesus, but mere mortals, such as Paul, to be role-models for Christians to admire and emulate.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Poster_-_Gone_With_the_Wind_01.jpg.

But Lucifer fully understands this and has given us his own role-models in which to conform us into his own selfish image!

.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Super_Bowl_XLIII_-_Thunderbirds_Flyover_-_Feb_1_2009.jpg

And so, the many ‘superstars’ seen and adored by the lost multitudes on a daily basis, become firmly etched upon the tables of human hearts!

.

And as a result, they eventually begin to emulate them, to some degree, in their own personal daily lives!

“A FORM OF GODLINESS”

2nd Timothy 3:5

.

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tupac_graffiti_Rio_de_janeiro.jpgWell, on and on it goes.

.

And under the cloak of “a form of godliness” he can make even the vilest sins to appear good and desirable! 

.

But don’t be deceived. 

.https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Texting_closeup.jpg

Listen again…“Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.” 1st Corinthians 15:33

.

Yes, do not be deceived. These mediums will change us.

.

And Satan has a special programming selection just for you, and just for me.

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY”

Proverbs 25:25

.

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:USMC-06831.jpg

Well, the Good News is, that there is still time to turn off the world, and instead, tune in to Heaven!

.

As far as possible, let’s fill our hearts with the precious words of life, filtering out as much of this world’s selfishness and deceit as possible, begging and pleading for God’s empowerment to do just that!

.

And may God be gracious to each and every one of us who are struggling to overcome!

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN

 

.

WINTER CONSTELLATIONS

foursome late winter 8/29/11

.

This most amazing phenomenon is seen throughout the winter.

.

Although it can be observed most of the winter, it is seen best when it is the western part of the sky, at winter’s end (The end of winter being the final scene of this heavenly Gospel story).

.

Orion , the Dragon, and the Glorious White Horse are beginning to descend into the western horizon.

.

And at this point it is apparent that the Fleeing Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation is veering toward the two bright stars, known as Castor and Pollux (sketch to left).

.

But the Wide Gate Stars are composed of the two brightest stars of the Auriga Constellation, known as the star, Capella, and the star, Menkalinan.

.

The two stars, Castor and Pollux, make up the concept of the Orion’s Narrow Gate Stars.

Revelation 12 Woman & Orion's Gate & Wide Gate.

This can even be observed into June in the western sky (for a short time just after dark).

.

While a dark night is best for seeing the Woman Constellation, the 4 stars which comprise the Narrow Gate/Wide Gate Stars can be seen even under mediocre conditions.

.

It begins with the Fleeing Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation (AKA Ursa Major) going towards these two doors.

.

The sketch to left shows, the two doors are each composed of two bright stars.

.

The two bright stars that comprise the Narrow Gate are the two brightest stars of the Orion the Reaper’s sickle.

.

The two stars that comprise the ‘Wide Gate’ Stars are the two brightest stars of the wave of water that comes out of the Dragon Constellation’s mouth (for explanation of “Wave of Water”, just click here).

.

The stars that make up the ‘Narrow Gate’ are about half the width of the Wide Gate (see sketch below left).

.

(For more information on Orion’s sickle, just click here, “Orion The Reaper”. )
