Today’s Devotional, Year 4 – November 11

.

And The Nations Were Angry!

.

Part 13:

“Satan’s Monster-Making Machinery, CONTINUED!”

To read Part 1, go here…October 24th (And The Nations Were Angry!)

.

“And the nations were angry,

and Thy wrath is come,

and the time of the dead,

that they should be judged,

and that Thou shouldest give reward

unto Thy servants the prophets,

and to the saints,

and them that fear thy name,

small and great”

Revelation 11:18

.

“For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ…”

1st Corinthians 4:15

.

God has designed this world with many beautiful creations, but many other things…not-so-beautiful.

.

Take, for instance, the graceful, honey-seeking butterfly against the deceptive and predatory spider: a perfect contrast between the beautiful vs. the not-so-beautiful!

.

*“(God) said, Because thou…hast eaten of the tree…cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow…Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee”***

Genesis 3:17, 18 (condensed for brevity)

.

Yes, after mankind rebelled against Heaven, God placed humanity in a world of dualities: good aspects and evil aspects, safe and dangerous, beautiful and not.

.

And He has done this in hope that mankind can begin to discern the effects and ramifications of humanity’s selfish ways, while at the same time, we behold God’s goodness reflected in the more wonderful aspects of Creation.

.

All this in hope for men to choose the good and refuse the evil!

“Which things are an allegory”

Galatians 4:24

.

**And so, as we look out upon this complex world, we see this dichotomy of good-vs-evil.**

.

And even in the manmade creations of mere, fallible humans, these often make excellent object-lessons, many of which are even applicable to the Gospel truths.

.

For example, boats, the creation of men, are actually applicable to many Bible truths. They are often used to represent the corporate church, or maybe some particular type of people-group.

FRANKENSTEIN MONSTER

.

**Even many manmade tales, such as the story, “Frankenstein”, have often been used by society for a handy analogy to present some illustration for clarity of an idea.**

.

For example, we’ve often heard someone make some analogy, maybe like this…“The government’s countless bloated programs have turned into a veritable ‘Frankenstein monster’!”

PART 1: VIOLENT COMPUTER GAMES

.

Now, in this two-part series, “Satan’s Monster-Making Machinery”, Part 1 (click here to read) focused largely on all the computer games which are most likely indoctrinating young people to become desensitized to violence.

.

And ultimately, in the coming Great Time of Trouble, many of these same young people may just join the vast army of Satan, fully trained (by violent computer game warfare) and ready to carry out his vicious attacks upon His foes, against God’s faithful remnant people!

THE WORLD! A GARGANTUAN MIND-CONTROL CENTER!

.

But in this Part 2, a much broader focus will be presented.

.

Yes, in this high-tech age, the world is increasingly becoming a giant gargantuan mind-control center for earth’s inhabitants! Not only computer games, but likewise, even the music industry is now pushing a lot of extremely violent and overtly wicked music, which many young people play non-stop during their daily lives.

.

And, needless to say, listening non-stop to all such desperately wicked sentiments is inscribing Satan’s evil character deeply upon the tables of their hearts and minds!

“And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold”

Matthew 24:12

.

But it doesn’t stop here! Just look at so much of social media. Billions of people, young and old alike, are developing an angry mob-mentality made possible by the interactive abilities of the world-wide-web!

.

It’s actually scary to view many angry, hateful rants, by vast enraged mobs today on the Internet!

POLITICAL HATE

.

And let’s face it! The current-day high-tech world is ramping up the vitriolic rage against opposing ideologies, primarily, the two major political ideologies! And just watching these angry and divisive videos and comments, results in the same anger and hatred to well-up within the hearts of viewers!

.

Satan now appears to be driving humanity to the brink of an all-out ideological bloodbath! Violent rhetoric is now beginning to morph into violent actions.

THE ‘MEDIA MANSONS’

.

And because of all the racial hatred spewed-forth by today’s media, Satan is ratcheting up hatred and distrust between people, based upon skin-color!

.

And if this doesn’t stop, it seems as if the USA may be headed for some type of violent race war!

.

There’s already many instances of violent hateful racist deeds now being committed (although the media is suppressing much news about this phenomenon)!

SCHOOLS NOW SPEAKING AS A DRAGON

.

For many decades the public schools have been pushing socialism/Darwinism/atheism.

.

But in the last decade, public schools are increasingly becoming the proverbial “dirty old man”, now actively grooming young children into sodomy and promiscuity.

“And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold”

Matthew 24:12

.

In addition to the Marxism and sexual promiscuity, public-schooling, media, and government are now pushing racism against various color-groups.

.

This is ratcheting up hatred and distrust among students and among followers of social media.

AMERICA AND THE WORLD: THE IMAGE OF THE BEAST

.

Well, this article could go on and on, enumerating the many other ways in which Satan is now speaking as a dragon, turning societies into a “God-hating, antichrist monster”.

.

And this website has other articles on this subject, just waiting to be explored by all truth-seeking “Noble Bereans”.

.

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY”

Proverbs 25:25

.

The very Good News in all this negativity, is that “God is faithful, who will…make a way to escape…” 1st Corinthians 10:13.

.

Yes, nobody must drown is this sea of hate which the world is increasingly becoming!

.

**Yes, Christ offers “faith, hope and love” to all who call on His Name…**

“And it shall come to pass afterward,

that I will pour out My spirit upon all flesh…

And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth,

blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.

The sun shall be turned into darkness,

and the moon into blood,

before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.

And it shall come to pass,

that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD

shall be delivered:”

Joel 2:28, 30-32

.

“and there shall be a time of trouble,

such as never was since there was a nation

even to that same time:

and at that time thy people shall be delivered,

every one that shall be found written in the book”

Daniel 12:1

.

TODAY’S PRAYER…

LOCATING THE DRAGON

.

The 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 the very same constellation that comprises the head of Taurus the Bull. In other words, Hyades is also known as the head of Taurus the Bull. And Hyades is the mouth of this Dragon.

.

The tip of the Dragon’s tail is composed of that star-cluster known as The Pleiades. The Pleiades is actually in the shape of a lion’s furry tassel tip of his tail. The sketch below shows this Pleiades as the tail tip.

.

Now with aid of a dark starry night, you may begin to connect this mouth and the tail with a very long body in an oval shape. The front and back legs are very well-defined with stars. The front legs are made partially of Taurus. The back legs and rear fin are made of the Cetus Constellation. But 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. This Dragon constellation appears in the eastern horizon about mid-summer in the pre-dawn hours, spewing his flood-waters northward toward the Woman of Revelation 12 (Woman in Travail). The Wave of Water is primarily composed of the Constellation Auriga. The are two more less bright stars which are closest to the Dragon’s mouth. These two dimmer stars are also part of this Wave of Water.
