“Ball of confusion
Oh yeah, that’s what the world is today!
…So, round and around and around we go
Where the world’s headed, nobody knows…
Just a ball of confusion Oh yeah,
that’s what the world is today!”

.
Every now and then, a song comes along and “tells it like it is!” And this song from the 1970’s, “Ball of Confusion”, was one of those songs!
.
After all, the Bible likewise calls this world, “The City of Confusion”. Isaiah 24:10
.
And even though the lyrics say “Ball of confusion, Oh yeah, that’s what the world is today”, the fact is, it’s always been a world of confusion!
.
From the day in which evil moved down into paradise, and took control, “confusion and every evil work” has been the order of the day (and of the entire age!) (James 3:16 for “confusion and every evil work” reference)
.
Yes, there’s always been a full spectrum of philosophies, ideologies, religions, and governments, each one contradicting another: a veritable ball of confusion!…
.
.
.
.

.
“But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived”
2nd Timothy 3:13
.
And if the world was a “Ball of Confusion” back in the 1970’s, just look at what’s going on today!
People can’t figure out what gender they!
Men now using “the little girls’ room”!
Men allowed to play girls’ sports!
Courts allowing criminals to return to the streets!
Devastating drugs decriminalized, causing massive robberies and homelessness!
Parents given a week or so to decide if they wish to keep their newborn baby, or have it starved-to-death!
Churches having Drag Queens deliver the sermon!
The government simply printing up trillions for their ‘pet projects’, knowing that it will cause massive inflation, eventually destroying the entire economy!
.
Yes, in addition to the “full spectrum of philosophies, ideologies, religions, and governments”, this world is inundated with a full spectrum of crimes and immoralities!
.
And as bad as things were, back in the 70’s, they’re getting much, much worse today (not to mention all the insane laws and maxims which government and society are now foisting upon the general public!)

“Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth”
Habakkuk 1:4
.
Everywhere we turn, we and our children are being indoctrinated: the Internet, television, newspapers, books, schools, billboards, radio, smart-phones, games, toy dolls, movie theaters, etc., all have become a source of indoctrination! Society is becoming increasingly aggressive in its efforts to indoctrinate us and our children!

Escaping the City of Confusion
.
Now having said all this, the main thrust of today’s devotional is “Escaping the City of Confusion”. And it’s not hard to see that this world is getting crazier and more chaotic and debased, by the day! A veritable “Ball of Confusion”!
.
So, just how can I escape all the growing mayhem-n-madness? How can I save my children from getting swallowed up by the insanity and devolving morality of this evolving dystopian tyranny? How can we keep from getting brainwashed by this giant “re-education machine” (which this high-tech world has become)?

“Hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast!”
.
Listen to this end-game stratagem from Isaiah…
“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, 21
.
There’s only one way to escape from all this. Oh well, yes, maybe one might find some little refuge in the wilderness and live completely off-grid as long as possible.
.
And yet, the only sure-fire way to deliver your family from this ensuing tyranny seemingly closing in on us from all sides, is to do as this above passage warns: “hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast”.

“Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.”
.
So, just how can I possibly hide myself from the pandemic madness and Orwellian hellscape which this world is rapidly transforming into?
.
Listen to Habakkuk’s prophecy…
“And the LORD answered me, and said,
‘Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables,
that he may run that readeth it.
For the vision is yet for an appointed time,
but at the end it shall speak, and not lie:
though it tarry, wait for it;
because it will surely come, it will not tarry.”
Habakkuk 2:2, 3
.
Here again, is the admonishment to “Run!”, when the vision begins to speak. And what vision is beginning to speak? Habakkuk’s vision of this very day in which society has become a seemingly inescapable, overwhelming totalitarian indoctrination machine, forcing its “mischievous madness” upon us and upon our children! (Ecclesiastes 10:13)

“He will make me to walk upon mine high places!”
Habakkuk 3:19
.
But where do I run?! How can I hide?!
.
Listen again…“The LORD God is my strength, and He will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and He will make me to walk upon mine high places!” Habakkuk 3:19
.
Yes, here is the place in which we must hide? “To walk upon mine high places” is the only mountainous refuge which guarantees safety and sanctity!

“Thou art my hiding place; Thou shalt preserve me from trouble; Thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah”
Psalm 32:7
.
Listen again…“For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion: in the secret of His tabernacle shall He hide me; He shall set me up upon a Rock. And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in His tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD. Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me. When thou saidst, ‘Seek ye My face’; my heart said unto thee, ‘Thy face, LORD, will I seek’.” Psalm 27:5-8
.
If I am willing to allow my God to purify my heart (i.e., “mine high places”), then I have escaped to the place of refuge of God’s “hiding place”.

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN
.
.
.
LOCATING THE DRAGON
.
THE DRAGON of REVELATION 12 CONSTELLATION . The Dragon Constellation can be located by finding Orion in winter months. The Dragon is to Orion’s left, and the Dragon’s mouth is right next to Orion’s shield. This Dragon’s mouth is the V-like constellation The Hyades Cluster, which is the very same constellation that comprises the head of Taurus the Bull. In other words, Hyades is also known as the head of Taurus the Bull. And Hyades is the mouth of this Dragon.
.
The tip of the Dragon’s tail is composed of that star-cluster known as The Pleiades. The Pleiades is actually in the shape of a lion’s furry tassel tip of his tail. The sketch below shows this Pleiades as the tail tip.
.
Now with aid of a dark starry night, you may begin to connect this mouth and the tail with a very long body in an oval shape. The front and back legs are very well-defined with stars. The front legs are made partially of Taurus. The back legs and rear fin are made of the Cetus Constellation. But the long oval-shaped body has relatively few stars, but can been seen, howbeit with a dark starry night. The four stars of the front fins are made partially of Taurus. This Dragon constellation appears in the eastern horizon about mid-summer in the pre-dawn hours, spewing his flood-waters northward toward the Woman of Revelation 12 (Woman in Travail). The Wave of Water is primarily composed of the Constellation Auriga. The are two more less bright stars which are closest to the Dragon’s mouth. These two dimmer stars are also part of this Wave of Water.
