The Devil Made Me Do It!

Part 20:

“O Lucifer, Son of the Morning!”

O Lucifer, son of the morning!…

They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee,

and consider thee saying,

Is this the man that made the earth to tremble,

that did shake kingdoms;

That made the world as a wilderness,

and destroyed the cities thereof;

that opened not the house of his prisoners?

Isaiah 14:12-17

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 the 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!

.

Laughable cartoons are often published, with a sinister-looking devil wearing red long-johns, holding a pitchfork.

Late-night comedians often make jokes about his existence, such as “The Devil made me do it!”

LUCIFER: “THE GOD OF THIS WORLD”

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

And yet, while perhaps as much as 90% of this world’s inhabitants totally disbelieve in a personal and literal devil, the Bible reveals him to be, “the god of this world”. 2nd Corinthians 4:4

.

And the Bible gives account after account of various demon-possessed individuals whom Jesus set free during His earthly ministry.

.

The really puzzling question is, “How can we look around at this sad and hopelessly sin-sick world and NOT believe in the existence of Satan!?”

SIN EVERYWHERE!

.

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:ISIL_Execution_of_man_September_2014.jpgThe fact is, that this planet is literally dripping with evil!

No matter which direction one turns, sin is to be seen!

.

From the corrupt and bad behavior of each and every human…

to the hospitals filled with the sick and suffering…

to overflowing graveyards…

to the dishonesty discovered in the business world…

to the corrupt politicians and government officials…

to the wars which have occurred in countless places…

to the horrific crimes now occurring everywhere…

to the lying and cheating, and hating, and abusing…

and heartless mockery of individuals against one-another.

.

Let’s face it folks! This is a really sin-sick world we live in!

THE NATURE OF EVIL

.

Now, God has chosen this hour to finally reveal the true source of evil in this world. Listen again http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Paradise_Lost_12.jpgto this Bible verse…

“How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!…

They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee saying,

Is this the man that made the earth to tremble,

that did shake kingdoms;

That made the world as a wilderness,

and destroyed the cities thereof;

that opened not the house of his prisoners?

Isaiah 14:12-17

Yes, this website wants to highlight this commission to… “look narrowly upon thee (Lucifer)”.

And even though we certainly don’t want to become too saturated in our minds with this evil angel, neither should we be ignorant of his devices!

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).
