And The Nations Were Angry!
.
Part 14
“Satan, the God of Hate!”
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
“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; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
.
And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in His temple the Ark of his testament”
.
Revelation 11:18, 19
.
.
.
.
The Book of Job (pronounced with a long “O”) was an inside look at how the god of this world”, Lucifer, now titled “Satan”, created circumstances designed to caused Job to hate God.
.
First, Satan caused Job to lose all of his belongings. He then killed all ten of Job’s children who were together, celebrating a sibling’s birthday, just prior to Job’s customary prayer for them. Then Satan covered Job’s body with puss-filled boils. And if that wasn’t enough, Job’s three friends came and began to accuse and criticize Job.
.
Now, let’s face it! Satan is the grand-master of inspiring hatred in the hearts of humans. Just look at this unhappy world! Continual wars, thefts, murders, rapes, greed, vengeance, bullying, cheating lying, manipulating, along with countless disparities!

OPPORTUNITY FOR MATURITY & GROWTH
.
While the humans are obviously perplexed by all the wickedness in this fallen world, Christians are encouraged by God to take advantage of the situation. In other words, as each Christian encounters various acts of evil during each day, they may use each and every adverse incident to their own advantage and Christian growth.
.
For example, when a rude cashier insults us, we can react in with Christlike silence, patience, and forgiveness, remembering Jesus’ words…“But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.” Matthew 5:39
.
Or as we encounter some drug-addicted street-person causing a public spectacle, we can, instead of condemning them, sympathize with their unfortunate life of poor choices, caused by the “Enemy of Souls” who has beaten them down at every turn throughout their life!
.
Or when we read of some unjust word, deed, or lawlessness committed by political leaders, we can cry out to God, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do!” Luke 23:34
.
In conclusion, God has allowed evil to continue for a number of reasons. Not only is God showing mankind that selfishness only leads to unhappiness, suffering, and death, but He also uses mankind’s evil to teach us patience, forgiveness, sympathy, and understanding for all lost souls. And even our own sins teach us that we are no better than others, and desperately in need of God’s grace and mercy!

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN
.
.
.
.
THE DRAGON of REVELATION 12 CONSTELLATION . 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. There 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.
