A ‘HIGHWAY TO HELL’ STORY…
.
.
.
.
.
.
One night, the TV in their electronics department of a big-box store was airing a rock band in concert.
.
This lead guitarist ran up a stairway and when he got to the top it looked as though he was electrocuted. Sparks flew in all directions!
.
And then he quickly descended, still playing, still getting hit by random sparks all the way down this fire-escape-like stairway, as if he was being chased down the stairs by some unknown entity.
.
When he reached the bottom, he disappeared.
.
Then in a moment, the stage floor opened and up came this cage with this same guitarist inside the cage (still playing). But now he had horns like a devil.
.
And all through this performance, the camera often panned the audience in the stadium, who were more than just a little enthusiastic, to say the least.

AMBASSADORS OF HELL
.
Now this devotional is not trying to promote the idea of anyone listening to this type of music. This is the Devil’s world, after all!
.
But this highly choreographed song was making a rather overt statement, which was hard to miss!
.
The stairway in the skit represented the path to Heaven.
.
Him getting burnt by sparks as he reached the top of the stairs obviously represents having a bad experience in Church.
.
Him getting chased down the stairs by those random sparks represents…well…getting chased out of church.
.
And of course, after he later ascends up from Hell in a cage, with the devil-horns…well…this speaks for itself.
.
But this musically choreographed scenario is nothing new, of course. Just look at this very old picture showing two pathways! One leads Heavenward, and the other leads, obviously, to Hell.
.
.
.
.
.
.
HELL ON EARTH! NOW!
.
And this rock group instinctively knows that you don’t need to die in order to go to Hell. You just live for the Devil, and you’ve already arrived in Hell: i.e., spiritual darkness!
.
Now that’s really something, if you think about it! A group of unbelievers instinctively realize that Hell exists right here and right now on this not-so-terra-firma planet!
.
Now this is even more amazing when one considers that many Christians are not even aware of this fact, that Hell begins right here on Earth!

.
HUCKSTERS FOR HELL!
.
Watching this skit by this rock group would make any Christian appalled at what was obviously a condemnation of Christianity, and an advertisement for Satan’s alternative lifestyle!
.
Anyone might think to himself… “These poor deluded musicians really don’t realize just what depths of evil they’re dabbling in and promoting, when they promote Satan!
Nor do they realize that some day they’re going to stand before a Holy God and answer for these things,
and for all the young people they caused to follow their satanic ways!
Or maybe they do realize!”
.
.
.
.
.
SOMETIMES EVEN THE DEVIL GETS IT RIGHT!
.
Perhaps one of the points to this story is that while they were doing this skit, these pagan rocksters were unwittingly presenting a Bible truth, which is likewise written, in the heavens!
.
And this Valley of Decision Constellation which lies between the Summer and Winter Constellations gives basically the same skit! But it is written in Heaven!
.
So, this sketch shows this third mountain (right) with a road that goes straight down to the Dragon (the Devil). In essence, this is the Broad Way to Hell! (“The Highway to Hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way.” Matthew 7:13 NLT).
.
.
.
.
.
.
SATAN’S COUNTERFEITS
.
But Satan is that ancient, unseen master of confusion and counterfeiting. He really knows how to deceive and prejudice the people!
.
But of course, in the instance of this rock group, Satan was just counterfeiting what God had already inscribed long ago, in the heavens, back in the days of Creation.
.
.
.
.
.
.
“NICE” PEOPLE!
.
Well, all this being translated into everyday life, there are many persons who decide for one reason or other, that they do not wish to serve God.
.
Or perhaps, they simply fall back into a worldly lifestyle.
.
And just like that satanic skit portrays, these dissatisfied persons, unknowingly become tools of the Devil and are then unwittingly used by him to draw away many others from God’s sheepfold.

NICE DEVIL TOO!
.
And you don’t have to be a Devil-worshipping rock musician, to be a tool of the Devil. Even some nice, clean-cut, well-behaved members of the community, can deceive fellow church-members, simply by pursuing the things of the world, thus becoming a bad example to other professing Christians.
.
And just as this rock band is doing the Devil’s bidding in their career as musicians, the rest of us likewise are the Devil’s Helpers, whether we know it or not, prior to our conversion to Christianity (and sometimes after, too!)

GOOD NEWS!
.
But the Good News is, that it is still the day of Salvation!
.
The Bible says…
“Let every one that nameth the name of Christ
depart from iniquity.”
2nd Timothy 2:19.
.
And so, there is still time for both you and me to begin walking that upward pathway which leads to everlasting life!
.
Listen once again…
“The way of life is above to the wise,
that he may depart from Hell beneath.”
Proverbs 15:24.
.
Yes, let’s each begin that pilgrim’s journey out of this dark, hopeless, and hellish kingdom of Satan!

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN
.
.
.
“STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN”…
.
OR JUST THE “HIGHWAY TO HELL”?…
.
“Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope:” Isaiah 5:18
.
Look at the slope of this third mountain, and notice that it goes straight down to the Dragon Constellation.
.
This slope belongs to the constellation commonly called Pisces. Doesn’t it almost look like the Dragon is towing this Mountain? It almost looks like the Dragon is transporting this false mountain from the south…from Hell. And he has pulled it northward…next to these other two mountains.
.
This would almost seem like a comical idea…if it weren’t for the destruction and death and woe caused by Satan for many-a-millennium.
.
Just listen to this verse… “Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope:” Isaiah 5:18.
.
So God, it seems, has created this constellation group to present this fearful concept!
.
.
.
.
THE BROAD WAY
.
But there is a second meaning to this long line of stars from this Destroying Mountain down to the Dragon Constellation?
.
It would remind one of a highway. But what kind of highway? Need there be any further explanation? They say that a picture paints a thousand words.
.
Well this picture that God has placed in the night sky paints a very poignant portrait indeed! This represents that “broad way which leads to destruction”.
