WORK-IN-PROGRESS – Daily Devotional, Year 4 – October 6 (Taking Back This Nation For God! Part 23: “Is America Really Becoming a ‘Banana Republic’?”)

Isa 59:14 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
Isa 59:15 Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.

A seemingly very conscientious Christian went to prison because she refused to sign her name on a gay marriage certificate.

“Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer,

and He that formed thee from the womb,

I am the LORD that maketh all things;

that stretcheth forth the heavens alone;

that spreadeth abroad the earth by Myself;

That frustrateth the tokens of the liars,

and maketh diviners mad;

that turneth wise men backward,

and maketh their knowledge foolish…”

Isaiah 44:24. 25

A NEW NATION WAS FORMED

.

Those who, long ago, sailed to this fledging nation, exhausted from the centuries of religious/civil tyranny in Europe, began what they thought was to be a Christian nation!

.

Yes, America was the beginning of a great experiment in freedom of political/religious speech, as well as liberty of conscience!

“And he (Antichrist) shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High”

Daniel 7:25

.

And God mercifully gave this nation an incredible constitution: a wonderful gift given by the Almighty…

.

…given because of cruel tyranny He allowed by the harsh hand of Satan, throughout the various European nations during the centuries of The Dark Ages.

.

Yes, throughout the Dark Ages of Europe, Satan, using the evil, apostate church of that day, to “wear out the saints” through various forms of persecution, against them and against the Bible they loved! (Daniel 7:25)

.

**And the forefathers of this new nation eventually named it, “The United States of America”.**

.

Yes, God in His mercy, gave this nation His manifold blessings, knowing how His people suffered so greatly through the centuries of the Dark Ages of Europe!

.

And He allowed the United States to grow and thrive.

.

“So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.”

Revelation 3:16

.

But as America prospered, the Church began to also enjoy the carnal riches and pleasures of the world.

.

Thus, the Church quickly became sleepy-eyed and lukewarm, fulfilling the words of Jesus…“

…”Because thou sayest, I am rich,

and increased with goods,

and have need of nothing;

and knowest not that thou art wretched,

and miserable, and poor,

and blind, and naked:”

Revelation 3:17

.

“I am the LORD that maketh all things… that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish…”

Isaiah 44:24, 25 Condensed

.

But in spite of God’s people’s increasing “lukewarm” religiosity, the U.S.A. was allowed to continue, and yet, gradually devolving from its original greatness. (Revelation 3:17)

.

And as a result, over the past decades, the secular leaders of this nation, without any connection to Heaven, lost whatever wisdom that God mercifully shed on this once great nation!

.

..

.

“The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.”

Psalm 9:17

.

And now, judgment was finally and fully falling on the world’s last great hope for true liberty.

.

And those secular and atheist leaders made increasingly bad decisions for this declining nation.

.

In the various government bodies, God’s judgment was now falling.

.

And as of late, it seems apparent that God’s blessings have been removed from this decadent, cornucopian super-society, while a few other nations seem to be getting more and more powerful!

.

Jer_4:7 The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way

.

But behind the scenes, in the dark shadows of the spiritual realm, Satan had now been permitted to carry out his evil plans.

.

This world’s last great experiment in freedom was ripe for destruction.

.

**And even though, the foolish decisions of our leaders seem to lack all rhyme and reason, Satan, “the god of this world” is orchestrating all those bad decisions…**

.

…craftily employing them so to bring a snare upon the entire world, as he helps usher in the long afore-promised war in the place which is called “Armageddon”.

.

…all the while, through media goliaths, this “Prince of the Power of the Air” is busily deceiving the populace into a false sense of security…

.

…bringing the western societies under judgment for their rejection of Christ’s grace.

.

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY”

Proverbs 25:25

.

But even though the world was seemingly going mad, and sinking into the bottomless pit of sin, God was allowing all these things for the purpose of purifying His saints, and helping them to place all their hope and trust in Him, instead of trusting in Man, and in the institutions of men.

.

And now, realizing that there was nothing left in the world for them to lean upon, God’s abounding grace caused His remnant people to fully trust in the exceeding great and precious promises of His Word.

.

Thus, the saints of God began to shine in such a way that the secularists and apostate churches could not ignore!

.

The promises of God’s Word now became like stepping stones of safety in an upward highway of holiness out of the craziness and abject evil which burned like a fiery furnace all around the world!

.

Now, the church became like highly polished gem-stones, purified as precious gold and silver, and shining even as the Sun!

.

And thus, God’s purpose of the Great Tribulation was fulfilled, and Christ was ready to return for His true Church, and God would bring them to be with Him, in Heaven.

DRAGON’S WAVE OF WATER

.

“For this shall every one that is godly

pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found:

surely in the floods of great waters

they shall not come nigh unto him.”

Psalm 32:6

The majestic waves of the sea.

.

One of the most beautiful creations in nature!

.

The sounds of the crashing surf!

.

The moist wind and spray upon one’s face!

.

Truly, standing upon the sand, and facing the ocean surf overwhelms all the human senses!

.

It’s quite an exhilarating experience to say the least!

But the ocean and the surf, and the sand were created by God, not merely for beauty’s sake; but also to teach.

.

And the Bible has interwoven many aspects of nature into the Gospel story.

.

And these various things in nature were created by God to instruct Mankind in Bible truths, both good and bad.

Waves are used in Scripture to represent both good as well as bad things.

.

And in the black sea of the heavens, is seen a constellation of a dragon.

.

And this dragon is spewing a wave of water out of his mouth.

.

And this article will explore just what all this means.

.

And the Reader is invited to come and behold secrets in the Stars, which have been hidden since Creation; but now are being revealed by God, for such a time as this.

.

So come along and behold these grand heavenly pictures which our great God has inscribed, in the heavenly scroll, and stretched, even from sky to sky.

7 HEADS, 10 HORNS, & 7 CROWNS OF THE DRAGON

“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.”

Revelation 12:3

**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).
