He That Hath An Ear To Hear,

.

Part 6:

“Strong Delusion!”

To read Part 1, go here…February 1 (“He That Hath An Ear To Hear”)

.

.

.

.

.

.

“Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan

with all power and signs and lying wonders, 

And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish;

because they received not the love of the truth,

that they might be saved. 

And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion,

that they should believe a lie: 

That they all might be damned who believed not the truth,

but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”

2nd Thessalonians 2:9-12

.

.

.

.

.

“My pastor is a great Bible teacher! Our church is growing and thriving! God’s Word is being freely preached each week around here! So don’t give me the lie that God is finished with the local congregations!”

.

This above complaint is a common one.

.

It is the indignant response to the call now going out…

“Babylon the great is fallen…

And I heard another Voice from Heaven,

saying, Come out of her, My people,

that ye be not partakers of her sins,

and that ye receive not of her plagues.”

Revelation 18:2, 4 

.

This above passage has been greatly misunderstood by the church-world. Confusion abounds as today’s pastors attempt to assign this prophecy to Iraq or Dubai, or some other city of the world. But the fact is, spiritual Babylon is and always has been the name given to the apostate church-world.

“A FAMINE OF HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD”

.

But this website has many articles devoted to this subject. And the reader is encouraged to study those articles in the light of the Bible to gain a solid understanding of these truths.

.

But what about this above objection concerning whether or not the true Gospel is still being faithfully preached in today’s congregations?

.

Listen to this…“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD,

that I will send a famine in the land,

not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water,

but of hearing the words of the LORD:

And they shall wander from sea to sea,

and from the north even to the east,

they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD,

and shall not find it.”

Amos 8:11, 12

.

Here is revealed that the time will come when God’s professed people will be cut off from hearing His Word.

HEAR WITH EARS BUT NOT WITH HEART

.

But has that day of spiritual famine finally arrived? After all, the Bible is still an open Book, or so it seems. 

.

But listen to Jesus…“Why do ye not understand My speech? even because ye cannot hear My Word.” John 8:43

.

Here Jesus was speaking to those who claimed to love and serve God. And yet, they could not hear His Word. Oh yes, they could audibly hear Him. But they could not comprehend the spiritual truths He was presenting!

“EVER LEARNING, BUT NEVER ABLE TO COME TO…TRUTH”

.http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Brooklyn_Museum_-_The_Foolish_Virgins_(Les_vierges_folles)_-_James_Tissot.jpg

Listen again…“For of this sort are they which creep into houses,

and lead captive silly women laden with sins,

led away with divers lusts,

Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”

2nd Timothy 3:6, 7 

.

Here is described, in allegorical language, that false teachers are leading “silly women” astray.

.

Now of course, this verse must be understood allegorically to make any logical sense. The silly women spoken of here are congregations who are ever learning from the Bible, but never able to truly come to the knowledge of truth. And now that the Holy Spirit has vacated the churches and denominations, it is impossible for parishioners to truly comprehend the deep spiritual message which the Bible teaches!

TRUTH NOW MINGLED WITH LIES

.

And let’s not forget that the truths being presently taught in today’s church-world are being mingled with the prosperity-driven gospels!

.

And so, these deceived parishioners leave the prosperity-driven church service, all revved up to begin a new week of going head-long after the selfish pleasures and ambitious attainments of the world!

TODAY’S PRAYER…

“Dear Lord, Give me two ears to hear Thy Fatherly reproofs and corrections. Let me take account of my life each and every day, and turn away from my love for this present world, and begin to look steadfastly Heavenward…

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN

.

THE HOLY GHOST RIDER CONSTELLATION

.

This newest Signs Of Heaven Constellation (Fall, 2013) is by far the faintest of constellations, but is a very incredible and awesome one in a number of ways (which this article will explain).

.

.Holy-Ghost-Rider in the Western night-sky

It is primarily comprised of the Camelopardalis Constellation (head and upper back), plus about 5 stars from the Cassiopeia Constellation (his leg), plus some random stars. It appears as an outline of a rider. Only the back of his head is detailed. And his back and the back of his legs are also detailed. Both sides of his arm are visible, and his hand is gripping the horses mane, and that is detailed by three stars (which are also part of the horse’s mane). The rider is in a position vaguely similar to a race-horse jockey. The two brightest stars in this constellation, are from the Cassiopeia Constellation, and are part of his leg. All the rest of the stars are very faint, and must be viewed on a very starry night.

.

Since this constellation has just been revealed, there may be more to this constellation in the coming months. But if you can locate the Goodly Horse in Battle Constellation, then you shouldn’t have too much trouble locating this Rider Constellation, provided you have excellent star-watching conditions. 

.

The above picture is not a totally accurate, but hopefully close enough to locate these constellations in the night-sky. Scroll down this page to see actual star-charts.

“HE THAT HATH EARS TO HEAR”

.

“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches;” Rev. 2:7, 11, 17, 29, 3:6, 13, 22

As you can easily see, this horse has some very big ears. Of course, this presents a very big concept. And since this Rider represents the Holy Spirit, it is obvious that He is leaning close, as if to whisper His words in the horses’ ears. And so what is He (The Spirit) whispering in this horses ears? Well, primarily the messages to the 7 churches, found in Revelation Ch.’s, 2 & 3.

.

But not everyone has ears to hear. Listen to Ezekiel… “Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house.” Ezek. 12:2. Yes, the rebellion amongst God’s professing people was great, and they had all but closed their ears from hearing truth.

.

Well it’s the very same problem in the New Testament. Listen to Jesus… “If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.” Mark 7:16.

.

So this Rider whispering into this Horse’s ears is a heavenly picture of this concept… “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches;” Rev. 2:7, 11, 17, 29, 3:6, 13, 22.

Holy-Ghost-Rider Constellation.

Now the great lesson to be learned, is that there are certain truths, which those who are rebellious in God’s house, will not be able to hear. And these messages to the 7 churches are those very types of messages, that many “Christians” just do not like to hear.

.

And so, what is the bottom line. Well, it would be a very good idea, for each and every one of us to humble ourselves before God, and plead with Him to give us spiritual ears to hear these deeper truths which God is trying to tell us.
