Part 4
“How To Read the News in a Dishonest World”

“And I beheld another beast
coming up out of the earth;
and he had two horns like a lamb,
and he spake as a dragon.“
Revelation 13:11
.
A conservative television talk-show host remarked how his very liberal mother who scoured the major newspapers daily yet had no idea that various world events had even occurred. In other words, as he quizzed her about various recent news-worthy events, it became evident that her liberal news services completely omitted stories.
.
Truth-be-told, in the increasingly divided and polarized western societies, the various news services have devolved into political activists, jealously fighting for their own cause.
.
It is a veritable war between two very different ideologies. One side claims to be the ideology of love and compassion while the other stands for morality and justice.
.
Of course, this website reveals these two power sources to actually be the “two horns like a lamb”, spoken of in the Book of Revelation, concerning the False Prophet Beast. Yes, Revelation 13 reveals this beast as having “two horns like a lamb, and spake as a dragon?
.
And as this website points out, the Lamb of God, Jesus, has two horns of power, spoken in various places, such as Psalm 85:10…”Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.” And so, while one side claims to be the arbiters of mercy and peace, the other claims to be the arbiters of righteousness and truth.
.
Now, this website further reveals this second Beast, the False Prophet, to be aligned with the first Beast’s 6th and 7th heads. The sixth head of the 1st Beast (the Antichrist Beast) is the dominance of mankind as being the supreme ruler of this world. Hence, this 6th head embraces atheism, the religion of mankind being their own ruler, since God does not exist, or so they believe.
.
But the 7th head acknowledges the existence of God, and is aligned with Christianity to a large degree.
.
And thus, these two Beasts, the Antichrist Beast and the False Prophet happen to be Satan’s two war machines in his kingdom of darkness, which this fallen world is. Of course, the apostate churches teach that these two beasts are merely two individual humans, in spite of the fact that the Bible speaks of beasts as being kingdoms. (See Daniel 7:23, for example).
.
Now that these two beasts have been established, we can focus on the second beast, with two horns like a lamb, and speaks as a dragon. The Dragon of course is revealed in Revelation 20:2 as “the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan”.
.
And so, because the False Prophet Beast speaks as a dragon, Satan, it is no surprise that we are now witnessing just how evil that the major voices in America are becoming. And being called by Jesus, “the father of lies”, it shouldn’t be surprising just how dishonest these major voices are!
.
Yes, whether it be our school systems, or the music industry, or the social media, government, or the news services, the level of dishonesty is nothing short of amazing!
.
And this website has various articles exposing that dishonesty in many articles!
.
But for the sake of brevity, let’s confine ourselves to today’s topic: “How to Read Today’s News in a Dishonest World”.
.
With the major voices in the world becoming so dishonest, just how can a person read or listen to the daily news, without being misled?
.
As the opening little story in this article told of a liberal-minded mother being quizzed by her conservative son, and being wholly uninformed concerning various news stories, should tell us the answer to our question. Simply put, the mother was confining herself to news sources which aligned with her own political biases. Thus, those liberal sources were omitting news stories which the liberal news sources didn’t want to print.
.
And as is commonly said, “While it once was true that newspapers printed “all the news that fits”, yet today, those same newspapers print “all the news that fits their political biases”.
.
Now, it may be true that a good portion of the populace really doesn’t want to hear news which they don’t like to hear.
.
But for those who want to truly know what’s happening in the world, must get their news from various sources. In other words, to get the full spectrum of what’s happening in the world, one cannot rely on merely a one-sided perspective. One must go to both sides of the political divide to get closer to what is actually going on.
.
For some reason, the 6th head of Antichrist (which includes the left horn of the False Prophet) is largely in control of the media. And, unfortunately, it is this 6th head which is aggressively attempting to stamp out freedom of speech.
.
And so, we can expect to find it increasingly difficult to get the true state of affairs from news sources.
.

THE BIBLE EXPLAINS TODAY’S NEWS
.
But the very best source of news is, of course the Bible! This is because it was inspired by a God of infinite knowledge, who reveals the end from the beginning…” Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done” Isaiah 46:10
.
And the wonderful thing about the Bible is that it explains why all these current events are occurring!

TODAY’S PRAYER…
“Dear Lord, Help me to not be fooled by this very deceptive world…

“The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining…
.
“The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem…
.
“And the heavens and the earth shall shake…
.
“But the LORD will be the hope of His people, and the strength of the children of Israel.

LOCATING THIS CONSTELLATION GROUP…
.
“Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.” Micah 4:1, 2
.
Look eastward in the early summer through fall. Find the Cassiopeia Constellation. Cassiopeia is the Mount of Blessing. In this sketch, it is the farthest mountain to the left. In the sky, it is the northernmost of these three mountains when facing eastward. It somewhat resembles a pyramid, as do the other two.
.
Then find the second pyramid to its right (south).
.
Then go a little further south to the next third pyramid. The third snow-cap is the Destroying Mountain Constellation.
.
These three pyramids are the snow-capped portion of these three mountains in this sketch. (of course, you won’t see the snow-caps in the sky. They are just an embellishment in this sketch to present a concept-EDITOR).
.

.
THE VALLEY OF DECISION CONSTELLATION GROUP.
.
They appear in mid-summer in the eastern skies in pre-dawn hours. These are made of Cassiopeia (mount on left), and various stars from the Andromeda Constellation (valley) and Pegasus (Mount of Cursing (middle mount) and the “Destroying Mountain” (right)), and Pisces (“The Broad Way to Hell”). The galaxy which appears to be climbing the Mountain of Blessing is the Andromeda Galaxy.
.
The above Wikipedia star-chart shows this amazing constellation group as it appears from June to fall, just prior to the winter constellation group. Actually, these Valley of Decision Constellations appear in early summer in the pre-dawn hours. (Editor of this website has sketched in this constellation group onto this above Wikipedia star-chart.)
