“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
.
.

.
As a conservative television talk-show host quizzed her about various recent news-worthy events, it became evident that her particular politically biased news-source completely omitted various stories which one might easily find in other publications (which “other publications” she didn’t bother to read).

“And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.”
Matthew 24:12
.
Truth-be-told, in the increasingly divided and polarized western societies, the various news services have more-or-less devolved into little more than ideological warriors, each jealously fighting for their own political 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.

“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
.
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.”
.
Therefore, it’s no mystery that while one political ideology claims to be the arbiters of mercy and peace, the other claims to be the arbiters of righteousness and truth.
.
These are the “two horns like a lamb” which the Revelation 13 “False Prophet” has, (metaphorically speaking, of course).

But for the sake of brevity, let’s confine ourselves to today’s topic: “How to Read Today’s News in an Increasingly Dishonest World”.

YELLOW JOURNALISM: THE NEW NORMAL!
.
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, the TV host’s mother was confining herself to news sources which aligned with her own political biases.
.
Thus, those biased sources were secretly omitting news stories which most news sources didn’t want the public to know.
.
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!'”

“A Man Hears What He Wants to Hear and Disregards the Rest!”
(Lyric from “The Boxer” by Paul Simon)
.
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, regardless which side of the political isle they reside!
.
And now, with the advent of Internet, it is now possible to limit which information that each individual is allowed to hear or not hear!
.
And so, for those who want to truly know what’s actually happening in the world, must dig hard, to get their news from various sources.

The 6th Head of the Beast
.
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 what is happening, but also, WHY all these current events are occurring!

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.)
