Daily Devotional, Year 4 – July 16

.

Sodom Rising?

.

Part 21:

“Sodomy: Mankind’s Final Experiment in Sin”

To read part 1 of this article, click here… “August 22nd (Sodom Rising!)”

.

“And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom

concerning all things that are done under heaven:

this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man

to be exercised therewith”

Ecclesiastes 1:13

.

Planet Earth has been a giant experiment in sin.

.

Right from the very beginning, mankind decided to eat of “the tree of the knowledge of good and evil”. Genesis 2:17

.

And mankind has been eating from that tree ever since!

.

.

“But (ye shall eat)…until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the LORD…”

Numbers 11:20

.

God has graciously allowed mankind to live.

.

He could have destroyed mankind right there in the garden.

.

But He didn’t!

.

No, God had another plan in mind.

.

And so, Mankind has lived under various types of governments. Mankind has tasted of the various philosophies.

.

We have tasted of the various pleasures which this world of sin has to offer.

“And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven…”

Ecclesiastes 1:13

.

Just think of all the varied ways of sin which we have eaten of!

.

We’ve experimented with various substances, such as alcohol, and drugs.

.

We’ve indulged in riches, and the countless luxuries which they afford!

.

We’ve now had a good taste of high-tech devices, from radio to Internet and everything in between!

.

We’ve had a belly full of atheism, and all of its related ideologies.

.

We’ve indulged in all types of music, all types of dramas, comedies, operas, dances, and all kinds of sports, and all kinds of foods.

.

The history of mankind has been filled with various self-serving lifestyles.

“I must work the works of Him that sent Me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work”

John 9:4

.

But there comes a time when mankind’s probationary period on Planet Earth comes to an end.

.

But there are two more giant social experiments left to fully explore.

.

And just what two experiments are the last two for mankind to seek and search out?

.

“Ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil!”

Genesis 3:5

.

Well, for one, we need to look no further than the Book of Genesis, when the serpent, Lucifer said to the woman…ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. Genesis 3:5

.

Yes, as one of the final experiments, women will get a chance to rule the planet.

.

This was Eve’s foremost desire, when she ate that forbidden fruit.

.

And so, in these last days we shouldn’t be surprised to see this giant push to turn the planet into a matriarchy.

“If a man also lie with mankind, as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination…”

Leviticus 20:13 (Condensed)

.

But also, we must look to Genesis for a glimpse of the planet’s last taste of sin: Sodomy!

.

That right! The final straw for the city of Sodom was the sin of sexual perversion.

.

And when they attempted to force their perversion on Lot’s two guests, the command was given to Lot, “escape to the mountain for thy life!”

“…behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.”

Ecclesiastes 1:14

.

Now, the Book of Ecclesiastes was a book about King Solomon’s commission from God “to seek and to search out all things done under the sun”

.

And Solomon’s life of searching brought him to the final conclusion: “I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.” Ecclesiastes 1:14

.

Solomon, now an old man, finally realized that everything which this world of selfishness has produced, brings no profit, but only unhappiness, sickness, remorse and ultimately, death!

*“Hear this…all ye inhabitants of the world…My mouth shall speak of wisdom…”***

Psalm 49:1, 3 (Condensed)

.

But while the final curtain is about to close on this world, there still is time for any and every man, woman, and child to get into the lifeboats, and not go down with this sinking, “Titanic-World” of sin!

.

Read and study and prayerfully take to heart, the words and warnings of the wisest of all mortals…“behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun.”

.

Let’s not allow ourselves to become bigger fools than we already have been!

.

And so, after living for years as the world’s biggest fool, Solomon finally returns to his sense, and ends that little book of Ecclesiastes with the final conclusion…

.

“Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:

.

Fear God, and keep His commandments:

.

for this is the whole duty of man.
.

“For God shall bring every work into judgment,

.

with every secret thing,

.

whether it be good,

.

or whether it be evil”

Ecclesiastes 12:13, 14

.

TODAY’S PRAYER…

“Dear Lord, Help me to be wise as a serpent concerning the power and influence of this antichrist society…

THE END

.

TODAY’S HEAVENLY SIGN

.

ORION GETS THE VICTORY

.

Now if you will stay up all night, you will see that the tables turn very dramatically for our three warriors.

.

This is because, as night progresses, and this constellation group moves to the west, God has designed this threesome to now be in the opposite circumstance.

.

**Now it is Orion and his Horse who are atop the Dragon.**

.

**Now Orion is about to cut off the Dragon’s head with his two-edged sword, while the Horse is stomping on his tail.**

.

And of course, there needs to be no explanation, because this picture tells the whole story.

.

Jesus wins in the end!

.

God’s people are victorious at last!

.

No wonder the Bible calls this story…“The Good News”!
