The Devil Made Me Do It!
.
Part 30:
“Fanatics in the Church”
To read the first part of this topic, go here…March 18 (The Devil Made Me Do It! Part 5: “Satan’s Army of Mockers!”)
.
.
.
.
Back in the 1970’s, a certain saying was popularized…“The Devil made me do it! The Devil made me do it!”
.
And this was merely mocking Christians, who were seemingly obsessed with pointing the finger at the Devil.
.
Then this unbelieving world could all joke and mock “the silly and absurd notion” that Satan is a very active and powerful force controlling the peoples of this world…
.
…by laughingly saying…“The Devil made me do it! The Devil made me do it!“
.
But the horrifying fact is, the Devil does indeed cause the vast percentage of the world’s inhabitants to do a great number of things!

FANATICAL COUNTERFEIT CHRISTIANS
.
In the news today, a so-called “Christian” couple were discovered to have chained their children 
into the basement for a number of years!
.
Unbelievable?
.
Of course!
.
But the most unbelievable part of the story is to believe that these two parents could actually be considered genuine Christians by some!

.
“THE WAY OF TRUTH SHALL BE EVIL SPOKEN OF”
2nd Peter 2:2
.
Well, obviously, the whole unthinkable situation could only be the evil work of that arch-deceiver, Satan!
.
And these two parents are no more Christian than even abject atheists are Christians!
.
But rather, these poor deluded people have been raised up by Satan to become religious fanatics for the express purpose of giving Christianity just another “black eye”!
.
But why would Satan commit such a heinous act in the name of Jesus?
.
Again, the obvious answer is that Satan has scored a huge victory here!
.
Oh yes, Satan has always exulted whenever he could give Christianity a bad reputation in some way.

CHRISTIAN LIBERTY SOON REMOVED
.
And this incident (along with many similar occurrences), is just one more nail in the coffin of Christian freedom!
.
Yes, the walls seem to be rapidly closing in on the Christian community; at least, it is for dedicated Christians who care enough and have the ability to home-school their children.
.
But for the vast majority of Christians, this sad story shouldn’t affect them very much, since most Christians already have their children enrolled in public schooling.
.
But those few dedicated Christians who now home-school their children, in the near future it might just become increasingly difficult to continue to educate their children at home.

SATAN’S IMAGE FORCED ON WORLD (AND CHRISTIANS)
.
But stepping back and looking at the bigger picture, we understand that Satan is so very jealous for his kingdom of darkness…
.
…he cannot stand to see Christians living “off the grid”, as far as having their children educated outside of public schooling.
.
Even most private Christian schools have become so mired down with government regulations, that they are just a little better than public schooling.
.
And they have become so worldly-minded, that they even voluntarily bow down to the image of Satan, i.e., this antichrist world-system, in so many ways!
.
Yes, there has developed a world-loving spirit in today’s church-world, which manifests itself in many or perhaps most church-operated schools.
.
.
.
.
.
TOTALITARIANISM ALREADY IN PLACE
.
And as we survey our current society, it would seem that we are now entering a whole new level 
of mind-control!
.
As if things are not already bad enough, Satan, “the god of this world” is obviously not content with the current level of totalitarian control already in place!
.
Yes, with television, public schooling, Internet, hand-held devices, radio, magazines, newspapers, novels, billboards, etc., Satan has already achieved a level of mind-control never before seen in history past!
.
.
.
“GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISES”
2nd Peter 1:4
.
And yet, God is faithful! Yes, we can cling to the many “great and precious promises” from God, such as this one…
…”But where sin abounded,
grace did much more abound…”
.
Here is a real blessed promise for concerned Christian parents! God vows to help all those who truly love Him!
.
And such promises as this one will become even more vitally important in the coming months as Satan continues to “tighten the noose” around Christians!

FLOOD-WATERS OF SATAN CONSTELLATION
.
“And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman…
And there appeared another wonder in heaven;
and behold a great red dragon,
having seven heads and ten horns,
and seven crowns upon his heads…
And the serpent cast out of his mouth water
as a flood after the woman,
that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.”
Revelation 12:1, 3, 15

7 HEADS, 10 HORNS, & 7 CROWNS OF THE DRAGON
.
In Revelation, the Dragon of Revelation 12 is described as having seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns.
.
However, the Dragon Constellation up in the night sky does not.
.
But God has faithfully created the wave of water, in such a way, as to illustrate this same concept of the seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns.
.
Because this wave of water is basically composed of ten stars.
.
The main body of the wave has seven stars (#‘s, 1 thru 7).
.
And the tip of the crest of the wave has the other three stars (#’s, 8, 9 & 10).
.
So, we have this 7/10 numbering.
.
And this gives us a great clue, as to where in the Bible we should look, to find out the riddle as to just what or who do these 7 heads, 10 crowns, and 7 horns represent.
.
Because, the Bible speaks very much about floods and waters as being associated with Satan (the Dragon).
