Today’s Devotional – July 27th
.
.
.
Satan’s Number “8”,
.
Part 2:
“Spider’s 8 Legs”
For the first devotion, click here…July 26th (Satan’s Number “8”)
.
.
.
.
In yesterday’s devotional (click here), the eight arms of the Octopus were discussed, and how they symbolized Satan. And it was discussed how the number, “8”, is the number of the eight kings of the Antichrist Beast.
.
But spiders also have eight legs, while most insects only have six. And spiders also symbolize Satan, as he weaves his deadly web of sin and deceit for the human race, but especially the Church!
.
Yes, some spiders even wrap their victims in their silken cords, and inject a deadly paralyzing poison into the fly, which turns that bug into a pulpy liquid. Spiders are indeed a worthy comparison to Satan!

WEB: AN OPTICAL ILLUSION!
.
And of course, it has already been presented in past devotionals, how the spider’s web is an optical illusion, looking like a three-dimensional tunnel.
.
And it has been discussed that the poor fly thinks it’s flying through that tunnel, only to discover that it wasn’t a tunnel after all, but a deadly trap.
.
And of course, this also reminds of all the many ideologies in the world, which seem like a journey to a better place, but only prove to be a deadly trap, just like the spider’s web. And by the time the human victim realizes his or her error, Satan has already paralyzed that human with his indwelling “antichrist…spirit of error”!
(see 1st John 4:3, 6 for “antichrist” and “spirit of error” reference)
.
And it was also discussed in yesterday’s devotional (click here), that the eight tentacles of the Octopus represent the spirit of Antichrist, which is comprised of eight symbolic spirits: seven of which represent false religion, and the eighth representing Satan himself (see Matthew 12:43-45).

QUALITIES OF MANKIND
.
But there is another aspect to all this, which wasn’t discussed in yesterday’s devotional. And that is what will be lightly dealt with today.
.
You see, the Bible speaks of the Antichrist in a number of places.
.
Listen to this…
“These six things doth the LORD hate:
yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
1. A proud look,
2. a lying tongue, and
3. hands that shed innocent blood,
4. An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations,
5. feet that be swift in running to mischief.
6. A false witness that speaketh lies, and
7. he that soweth discord among brethren”
Proverbs 6:16-19.
.
This description almost sounds like your typical Hollywood movie, doesn’t it? And to a great degree, these are the same qualities which govern the people of this world. Do we even need to explore these qualities?
.
For instance, is there any doubt that this world loves pride? Pride of dress. Pride of houses and cars, and careers and credentials? Yes, pride is a very important quality of this world. And that’s merely the first quality mentioned here!
.
But the other 6 qualities are also very prevalent in society. Lust, violence, greed, immorality, indifference, hatred, etc., are the sins which, not only the people of the world possess, but also the majority of the people of the church world.

“SEVEN” = GOD’S NUMBER…
.
“These six things doth the LORD hate:
yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
1. A proud look,
2. a lying tongue, and
3. hands that shed innocent blood,
4. An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations,
5. feet that be swift in running to mischief.
6. A false witness that speaketh lies, and
7. he that soweth discord among brethren”
Proverbs 6:16-19.
.
So it sounds as if we’re simply talking here, about a worldly-minded person.
.
But when God says…“SIX things doth Lord hate: yea SEVEN are an abomination unto Him”, God appears to be hinting, by using the number “seven”, that He is speaking of an unconverted person WITHIN the Church!
.
This is because the phrase “Six things doth the Lord hate” is pointing to Mankind whose number is “six” (“So God created man…And the evening and the morning were the SIXTH DAY.” Genesis 1:27, 31).
.
But when God says “yea SEVEN are an abomination unto Him”, then we’re talking of “Rest”…hence the number “seven”… “And God blessed the SEVENTH DAY, and sanctified it: because that in it He had rested from all His work which God created and made.” Genesis 2:3.
.
And as a further evidence, just look at what is the 7th thing mentioned… “he that soweth discord among brethren”. Right here, God has hidden the key to the understanding of just what is the Abomination of Desolation: “he that soweth discord among brethren”. This is the 7th thing that God hates. And of course, it’s dealing with “among brethren”. And so, this 7th Abomination has to do with sowing discord “among brethren”.
.
It is those wolves in sheep’s clothing who have entered God’s sheepfold, and are “among brethren”, leading these unsuspecting brethren astray.

THE ANTICHRIST BEAST!
.
And so, to put it concisely, this counterfeit religious system of the Antichrist Beast is merely the spirit of the world, with all its ungodly traits, being brought into the Church. These are the seven heads (kings) of the Antichrist Beast. And of course, the eighth king is Satan himself!
.
Now these seven heads could be defined even more precisely! But that will have to be for a later discussion.
.
But to sum up today’s devotional, let it be said that this information gives us a greater understanding of how “the god of this world”, Lucifer (now called “Satan”, “The Devil”, and “The Dragon”) works in this, his antichrist world-system.

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN
.
.
.
.
.
THE DRAGON OF REVELATION 12 CONSTELLATION. The star-charts below (below, right) are from Wikipedia and are combined into one chart to show these three constellations, which the editor has sketched over with these three constellations, as they appear when in the west. Hopefully, this will be an assist in locating these constellations in the night-sky.
.
.
.
LOCATION…
.
The Revelation 12 Dragon Constellation can be located by finding Orion in winter months. The Dragon is to Orion’s left, and the Dragon’s mouth is right next to Orion’s shield. This Dragon’s mouth is the V-like constellation The Hyades Cluster, which is also known as the head of Taurus the Bull. The Dragon’s tail-tip is Pleiades and the lower shaft of his tail is partly of Aries and Pisces.
.
Then with aid of a dark and starry night, you may begin to connect the mouth and the tail with a very long body in an oval shape. The front and back legs are made of a few stars: the front legs partially of stars from Taurus . The back legs and rear fin are made of 6 stars from the Cetus Constellation.
.
BODY HARD TO SEE
.
The long oval-shaped body has relatively few stars, but can been seen, howbeit with a dark, starry night. The four stars of the front fins are made partially of Taurus .
