Daily Devotional, Year 4 – July 28

.

Cuttlefish & The False Prophet

.

Part 16:

“The Words of the Wicked”

To read Part 1 of this series, click here…APRIL 1 (Cuttlefish & The False Prophet)

.

“The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood:

but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.”

Proverbs 12:6

.

CUTTLEFISH: THE ULTIMATE IMPOSTORS!

.

One of the most amazing creatures ever created is the Cuttlefish!

.

The reason why this creature is so incredible, is that it can just glance at its environment and instantly change its body to imitate that environment!

.

As a matter of fact, whatever the Cuttlefish passes over, it instantly begins to change into a similar color and shape of that undersea object!

CUTTLEFISH: SYMBOL OF SATAN

.

Well, God has created this little predator to give us further insight into the inner-workings of the unseen kingdom of Satan.

(As this little 26 second video below reveals, the Cuttlefish has the amazing ability to paralyze his potential victims, by using his hypnotizing strobe-light effect!)

.

Certainly, Satan and his unseen armies love their invisibility…

.

…which allows them to work their misery and woe upon this unsuspecting world, without its inhabitants becoming alarmed…

.

And isn’t it true that the fleshly pleasures and glittering treasures of this world, like the cuttlefish’s strobe-hypnotizer, have a mesmerizing effect upon us?

.

“THE KISSES OF AN ENEMY ARE DECEITFUL!”

Proverbs 27:6

.

Truly it can be said, we live in a “Cuttlefish World”.

.

Yes, like that incredible impostor, this world was changed into a seemingly benign and beneficent society, to a great degree.

.

Oh yes, there has always been many underlying dangers and evils lurking out there!

.

But Satan is now coming as “The False Prophet”, spoken of in Revelation 13, 16, 19, and 20.

.

And as with most false prophets, Satan is deceiving the world’s inhabitants, which explains why he has given this, his antichrist world-system a make-over into a seemingly “nice place”, offering many “good things” to enjoy and pursue.

“The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood”

Proverbs 12:6

.

Have you noticed, as of late, how society is forcing a change in language. It’s amazing how rapidly is society’s downward spiral into abject wickedness.

.

And considering how the western nations prided themselves as being the defenders of “freedom of speech”, it becomes even more amazing to see them refute that very foundation of liberty: the freedom to speak openly concerning religious/political ideas.

AMERICA, THE SAFE-HAVEN FROM EUROPEAN TYRANNY

.

This nation was originally founded to be a refuge for Christian pilgrims, fleeing from religious and secular tyranny and persecution in Europe during the centuries which were known as “The Dark Ages”.

.

For centuries, the apostate church-state system in those European nations made life difficult and dangerous for Christians who loved the Bible.

.

And so, finally came a mass exodus across the waters to the wilderness of North America.

.

And even though this new, fledgling nation, The United States, was intended to be a Christian nation there was to never again be any one denomination exerting control of the populace, as was the case in Europe.

.

.

THE AGE OF ABUNDANCE

.

What Christians did not realize was, that the world was going to experience a gigantic paradigm shift from a world of scarcity to a world of abundance.

.

And thus began the industrial/science/technological revolution which turned the former Protestant Reformation nations of Europe and America into cornucopian super-societies!

.

INTERNET: THE ULTIMATE APOCALYPTIC WEAPON!

.

And because of the industrial/technological revolution, many new inventions flooded the world.

.

And as a result, society has been given the ability to control, and even censor speech and the free-flow of information, the advent of the high-tech devices are rapidly becoming Satan’s ultimate apocalyptic weapon.

.

In other words, this current-day “public square” can instantly cancel anyone who says or advocates anything contrary to what is allowed by the unseen rulers of the world.

.

“And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name”

Revelation 13:17

.

The leaders of this movement to change what is deemed to be acceptable, and not acceptable, are working hard to punish and cancel anyone who does not bow down to the speech maxims.

.

And because the Internet is able to control each individual’s ability to be heard or not heard, and to even control who can buy and sell, speech is just one more way to persecute anyone who refuses to bow down to this antichrist world-system.

.

Thus, will be coming the long-afore-promised mark of the Beast in which “no man might buy or sell” should they refuse to bow down to the dictates of this antichrist world-system beast-like authority!

“Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:”

Ephesians 2:2

.

This above verse from Ephesians 2:2, reveals that the unsaved citizenry of this fallen world are indwelt by the antichrist spirit, of “the Prince of the Power of the Air”, Lucifer, now titled “Satan” and “The Devil”.

.

And because they are indwelt by his antichrist spirit, they must do his bidding in traveling along in “the course of this world”.

.

And thus, it is nothing short of amazing to see how readily society is willing to accept, even applaud all the changes and paradigm shifts now occurring in the world!

“but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it”

1st Corinthians 10:13

.

The Good News is when we consider that God will provide “a way to escape” the heavy trials which are already beginning to be implemented.

.

**What each of us must do is to continue to hide God’s “exceeding great and precious promises” in our heart and live daily by those promises.**

.

These promises are the stepping-stones on the heavenward pathway!

.

“Concerning the works of men,

by the word of thy lips

I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer”

Psalm 17:4
