Psalm 36:2

CUTTLEFISH: THE ULTIMATE IMPOSTORS!

.

One of the most amazing creatures ever created is the Cuttlefish! Actually, it is not a fish, but a type of mollusk, like a squid, or an octopus.

.

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.

.

For instance, if it wants to hide from its enemies, or lie-in-wait for its victims, next to a sea-weed, it simply changes its color, spots, and shape to imitate that sea-weed. It can even instantly grow leaf-like appendages to imitate certain sea-weeds!

.

This little creature is nothing short of amazing!

CUTTLEFISH: SYMBOL OF SATAN

.

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

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

.

Certainly Satan and his unseen minions love to make themselves invisible! That way, they can work their misery and woe upon this unsuspecting world, without its inhabitants becoming alarmed, causing us to rebel against Satan’s kingdom, as we flee to God! And just as this little cuttlefish hypnotizes its “candidates for consumption”, so too, Satan has filled the world with many glittering attractions to likewise mesmerize his naïve and unwary victims!

.

1Ti_2:12  But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

.

.

.

“And the serpent said unto the woman…ye shall be as gods,knowing good and evil. ” Genesis 3:4, 5

.

In the beginning of this world’s history, the progenitors of evil came to the woman, promising here a God-like ascendancy, if only she would do the one thing she was told not to do.

.

And of course, she listened to this lie, and our history has been one long train of subservience to sin and selfishness! She fell for the lie and mankind became prisoners to sin and Satan, “the god of this world”. And mankind has been suffering ever since that woeful day!

.

So, did women ever realize Eve’s dream of becoming equal with God? Hardly! Much to the contrary, mankind has suffered under Satan cruel tyranny ever since.

.

And because her husband harkened to her invitation to throw in with her rebellion, both men and women, through the ages have suffered intensely ever since!

.

But as of late, there has been an attempt to convince the public that women are superior to men and deserving to become the leaders of the world. Even Hollywood has produced movies to indoctrinate the public into the idea that men are despicably evil and women deserve to rule the world.

.

Even one very popular Hollywood production, produced for young girls, actually comes right out and attacks motherhood  and marriage!

.

Yes, it seems as if we are witnessing the end result of Eve’s dream of equality with God: to overthrow the natural order of humanity!

.

The Bible prophesied that fallen mankind, in our foolish pride…“flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.” Psalm 36:2

.

Simply put, mankind, in spite of our total failure to govern ourselves independent of God, is nevertheless proud and stubborn. But all this foolish pride is coming to the end as we are now reaping the evil fruits of our rebellion!  The world is growing more hateful and dysfunctional with each passing day!

.

It is much like the deceitful cuttlefish who disguises himself until just the right moment when he turns on his mesmerizing strobe light and gobbles up his victim. Yes, this world has been pretending to be benign and beneficent, but now is revealing just how hateful and evil it truly is!

.

And like the “femme fatale lightning bug” who pretends to desire the male lightning bug, but instead eats its deceived male victims, this so-called “children’s movie” encourages the same male-hating attitude to the young girls who watch it!

.

And now that we have come to the end of all things, one might conclude that we are witnessing the end results of Eve’s dream of becoming equal to God!

.

And as with every other rebellious quest of society through the ages this perverted desire to turn the world into a giant matriarchal dictatorship will likewise end up being a complete failure, even a total disaster!

.

.

“FLEE TO THE MOUNTAINS!”

.

And we should not be surprised to see things go “completely and fully evil” in the coming days and months.

.

And while it grieves the Lord greatly, to behold suffering, He knows that in the end, these things will purify our hearts, even as precious gold is purified!

.

He knows that His world-loving people have to behold the fallen planet for what it truly is, before we will be willing to make our end-time Exodus!

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN

THE NARROW GATE STARS

.

This most amazing phenomenon is seen throughout the winter. Although it can be observed most of the winter, it is seen best when it is the western part of the sky, at winter’s end (The end of winter being the final scene of this heavenly Gospel story). Orion , the Dragon, and the Glorious White Horse are beginning to descend into the western horizon (sketch to right is Winter Constellations descending into western horizon. This can actually be seen as early as December, in the pre-dawn hours).

.

And at this point it is apparent that the Fleeing Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation is veering toward the two bright stars, known as Castor and Pollux (sketch to below left). But the Wide Gate Stars are composed of the two brightest stars of the Auriga Constellation, known as the star, Capella, and the star, Menkalinan. The two stars, Castor and Pollux, make up the concept of the Orion’s Narrow Gate Stars.

.

This can even be observed into June in the western sky (for a short time just after dark). While a dark night is best for seeing the Woman Constellation, the 4 stars which comprise the Narrow Gate/Wide Gate Stars can be seen even under mediocre conditions. It begins with the Fleeing Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation (AKA Ursa Major) going towards these two doors.

.

The sketch to left shows, the two doors are each composed of two bright stars. The two bright stars that comprise the Narrow Gate are the two brightest stars of the Orion the Reaper’s sickle. The two stars that comprise the ‘Wide Gate’ Stars are the two brightest stars of the wave of water that comes out of the Dragon Constellation’s mouth (for explanation of “Wave of Water”, just click here). The stars that make up the ‘Narrow Gate’ are about half the width of the Wide Gate (see sketch to right).

.

(For more information on Orion’s sickle, just click here,“Orion The Reaper”.)

.

Editor’s note: These sketches on this page are merely sketches. The stars are not in their exact place. However, they are close enough to find them in the night sky. But as with most stars, it takes persistence to finally locate them.
