The Pied Piper of Television
.
.
.
.
.
Most everyone knows the children’s tale, the Pied Piper of Hamlin.
.
But the very same flute which mesmerized those rodents was later used to lead away captive all the children of this community.
.
Now, this children’s tale can be allegorized to present some spiritual relevance.

PIED PIPER OF TELEVISION
.
Like never before, our society is being led over the precipice of destruction by a certain Pied Piper! Yes television, Internet devices are now leading the great masses into moral decadence at such a rapid decline, it is amazing to behold!
.
Listen… “Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.1st Corinthians 15:33.
.
Yes, the Bible makes quite clear that our associations determine, to a great extent, just how we think, and what we believe, and who we are!
.
.
.
.

“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
.
Revelation 13 foretold of a “beast” which would, one day, “arise out of the earth, having two horns like a lamb, and speaks as a dragon”.
.
This so-called “moral society”, symbolized by having two horns like a lamb, speaks increasingly “as a dragon” (Satan), now promoting immorality, racism, atheism, while at the same time censoring any speech it deems threatening to Satan’s soul-destroying warfare against the human race!

THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST
.
“And he (the 2nd Beast) had power to give life unto the image of the (1st) beast,
that the image of the (1st) beast should both speak,
and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the (1st) beast should be killed.”
Revelation 13:15
.
So, if this 2nd Beast represents the USA, then just what is this talking image? Television? Internet? Artificial Intelligence?
.
This is what the mark and image of the Beast is all about: Satan’s selfish character as reflected in the image of this antichrist world-system, transferred into the hearts and minds of humans, young and old alike!

“COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE”
Revelation 18:4
.
The Bible commands God’s people to come out of Babylon. Oh yes, Babylon is the apostate church. But Babylon is also the world! This is perhaps one great reason for the pronouncement… “Babylon is fallen, is fallen”. Yes, this great city, “is fallen is fallen”, hinting that it is twice fallen.
.
And lest there be any doubts about our responsibility as Christians, God has made it quite clear…
“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers:
for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness?
and what communion hath light with darkness?…
Wherefore come out from among them,
and be ye separate, saith the Lord,
and touch not the unclean [thing];
and I will receive you,”
2nd Corinthians 6:14, 17.
.
And the implied threat here is, that if we do not separate from unbelievers, then we should NOT expect God to be a Father to us!
.
It’s that simple!

VERY GOOD NEWS!
.
The very Good News is, that God will help us and give us strength to accomplish the purification of our hearts, if we ask and believe that He will.
.
And though our older children may be going after the worldly pleasures and pursuits, if we will only turn our own lives around, God has promised us…
.
“And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God,
to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day…
Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body,”
Deuteronomy 28:1, 4.
.
And so, the Believer must prayerfully never give up hope for the deliverance for his or her own self, and for their own family.

THE FIVE FOOLISH VIRGINS STARS
.
.
A new constellation has been revealed, as of about May 29th, 2014. This constellation appears as a snake. Its body is comprised of stars from the Bootes Constellation, and its jaws are made of the four stars which Babylonians saw as the head of Draco, the Dragon. It also has a small single star for an eye.
.
Now in this constellation is a group of five stars, which will be called “The Five Foolish Virgins Stars”. These are located on the opposite side of the Glorious Crown of 12 Stars, from the Five Wise Virgins Stars. But one big difference between the two is, that The Five Wise are curved around the Glorious Crown, while the Five Foolish are curved away from it!
