Today’s Devotional – March 5th

The Straw Man:

.

Part 1:

“Villains And Heroes”

 

.

.

.

.

.

“For there are certain men

crept in unawares,

who were before of old

ordained to this condemnation,

ungodly men…”

Jude 1:4 

.

.

.

.

.

Some decades ago, a publicly disgraced and very unpopular world statesman, being interviewed, made the statement that, “some leaders are born to be villains while others are destined to be heroes in the public’s eyes”.

.

Well, by simply glancing at the ongoing daily political wars, it’s not hard to understand that Satan is working behind the scenes, pulling the strings in such a manner, as to create great political intrigue, thus turning politics into a current-day “spectator sport”.

MILLIONS NOW POLITICAL NEWS JUNKIES!

And millions have now become daily devotees to various radio and television talk shows, eagerly waiting to hear each new day’s developments.

.

And this ongoing drama has its “good guys” and “bad guys”, thus ratcheting up either the favor or disdain for these “actors” as they engage with one-another before the onlooking public.

POLITICS, A SOAP OPERA FROM HELL!

Thus, the Enemy of Souls makes gains on two fronts: via the modern media, he has now created a new time-consuming pastime, which intrigues and ensnares multitudes of viewers; and this new form of voyeurism only ratchets up the anger and rage in the hearts of viewers who willingly witness all the dirty-dealing injustices constantly being committed in this new daily “soap opera from Hell”!

VILLAINS & HEROES IN CHRISTIANITY

.

Well, this relatively new spectator sport, “the daily political wars”, goes hand-in-hand with the current assault on Christianity. That is, “the god of this world” has likewise used the modern high-tech media to wage a similar war on Christianity.

.

Yes, Satan has raised up his own collection of heroes and villains in the Christian community in an all-out effort to create a false narrative among Christians.

.

These look-alike “Christians” become his useful pawns, to cast a false light on the Gospel, either in one direction or the other.

“And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.”

2nd Peter 2:2

While he raises up many so-called “Christians” who give Christianity a “black eye” by their lawless and often fanatical deeds, he raises up other men to appear to be the epitome of normalcy and rationality.

.

In this way he confuses “even the very elect” into following these false shepherds because those cultish leaders make the normal-looking false shepherds appear righteous by comparison.

HIGH-TECH BRAINWASHING

.

But this has always been the deceptive practice of Satan. What’s new, is that with the advent of high-tech devices, he can now accomplish his destruction of the Church, using far fewer actors and players, now being able to bombard us with their stigmatizing deceptions on a daily, yea even a 24/7 basis, via TV, Internet, radio, etc….

.

Well, the Good News is that we are not ignorant of Satan’s devices.

.

And it might be far safer for Christians to turn off these prophets of the airways, and simply read and study the Bible for our own selves.

he shall be a vessel unto honour,

sanctified, and meet for the master’s use,

and prepared unto every good work.”

REVELATION 12 WOMAN CONSTELLATION

.

WOMAN ROTATES THROUGH THE SEASONS…

star-chart ursa major summerr

.

This page is about the Big Dipper, also called the Great Bear constellation (Ursa Major ). However, the ancient pagan cultures did not see this constellation as God intended it to be seen. It is actually a headless woman in childbirth.  This is seen in springtime. It is seen in the northern skies. 

.

.

But as the seasons progress, this travailing woman flips upside down, now appearing as a woman with upraised arms like eagle wings who is running (eventually flying, as shown in sketch on right) into the wilderness (westward). The single star representing her birth-child (Christ) now becomes her head (“Christ is the head of the church.” Ephesians 5:23

.

The 7 Stars (Big Dipper) is easy to see with its very bright 7 stars. But the Revelation 12 Woman (Ursa Major) must be seen on a dark starry night, away from city lights. 

.

These are star charts from Wikipedia, with sketches of the Woman added.
