Are you old enough to remember that startling movie, “Dawn of the Dead”?

.

Being one of the first of its kind, it had a stunning effect on movie-goers. That is, to see dead people slowly sleep-walking through a giant shopping mall, surrealistically going through the motions of shopping, while silky violin strains of “elevator music” echoed through the post-apocalyptic mall, was a giant shock to movie audiences back in those days!

NO MORE ROOM IN HELL!

.

Now the premise of that movie was that some world-wide apocalyptic holocaust had killed off the bulk of Mankind, leaving no more room in Hell. And this is loosely based on Jeremiah’s prophecy… “Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall bury in Tophet, till there be no place.” Jeremiah 7:32

.

Thus, the world was now mostly populated by these half-dead zombies, who continually sought to cannibalize the few surviving humans left on earth! And that infamous and eerie shopping mall became the backdrop for this end-time scenario!

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY!”

Proverbs 25:25

.

But the Good News is that God will only allow that which He deems necessary for the purification of His people.

.

Yes, just as those three Hebrew boys endured the fires of the King of Babylon, so too will God’s people soon walk through the fiery tribulation now prepared by Lucifer, the true King of this Babylonish world!

.

And when Christ can see His reflection in His vessels of gold and silver, the persecution will cease.

.

And so, let’s take heart that the coming days, weeks, and months will be for our eternal glory, though the fires of tribulation will be heated 7-times hotter (“7” being God’s perfect number)!

GLORIOUS CROWN CONSTELLATION…

.

& THE REVELATION 12 WOMAN

(Click here to read more!)

.

This Glorious Crown Constellation looks like a wreath at first glance. It has 7 stars, plus another star in the middle. This Glorious Crown Constellation is commonly referred to as the Corona Borealis Constellation. This wreath reminds us of the victory wreath given to athletes who won races in the ancient cultures. This was spoken of by Paul as he compared those ancient races to the race that Christians must run… “Know you all not, that they which run in a race run all, but one receives the prize? So run, that you all may obtain.” 1st Corinthians 9:24 (see also Hebrews 12:1)

“A CROWN OF 12 STARS UPON HER HEAD” …

.

But upon a closer examination if you have access to a very dark sky out in the country; if you watch this wreath, you will eventually see 5 more very faint stars, making a total of 12 stars, plus that single star in the middle. This wreath now becomes a crown of 12 stars. This goes along with Revelation 12, which tells of a crown of 12 stars upon the head of the Virtuous Woman of Revelation 12.

.

… “And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman…and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:” Rev. 12:1.

.

But this crown is not yet upon the head of the Virtuous Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation (also known as Ursa Major). It is just above her head, as if she has yet to attain it. Of course, the 13th star in the middle would represent Christ (Who is our true Crown of our rejoicing). Ok, so we have a picture of Christ and His twelve tribes of Israel. But also we have a picture of Christ and His twelve apostles, which is a picture of His Church. So this heavenly crown is a multi-faceted concept.
