“…and the cities of the nations fell”
John 8:44

There are a whole lot of things happening today, that weren’t happening just several years ago?
.
And some of these recent changes have been really, really strange!
.
And one of those strange things is how many of the large cities are rapidly deteriorating.
.
One might say that those cities are in a fallen condition, morally, spiritually, financially.
.
.
.
.
.
“…and the cities of the nations fell”
John 8:44
.
Perhaps the cities of the nations have not yet totally fallen. But it does appear as if their condition is rapidly deteriorating! Just look at the major cities in the USA! In just a few short years, those once-great and thriving cities are rapidly declining! And even many cities which have not yet literally crumbled have fallen into crime, vice, and immorality.
.
Drugs, drunkenness, theft, violence, murder, abortion, prostitution, gambling, kidnapping, slavery, pornography, street-gangs, divorce, adultery, sodomy, and an untold list of similar sinful activities are running rampant in most cities around the world!

“And judgment is turned away backward, and justice stands afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter”
Isaiah 59:14
.
Now, if one watches the Internet, there is a call now being trumpeted to once again return to the law and order of decades past.
.
But the question to be asked is this: “Why are the city, state, and federal governments seemingly helpless to bring about a return to sanity, civility, and morality? Why can’t this downward spiral be stopped, even reversed?”
.
The deep-down problem is, the politicians of city, state and federal government have attempted to solve the human dilemma without the help of God! And because these secularists have rejected Heaven’s help, they have been left to solve the crises by themselves.
.

“The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God”
Psalms 9:17
.
Oh yes, God has greatly helped, even blessed the United States in the past, in many ways. But there comes a time when iniquity surpasses God’s merciful forbearance.
.
And morality has devolved so greatly that even little children are increasingly being targeted by parents and teachers to be sexually groomed and sometimes even sexually mutilated by greedy and depraved physicians, the very persons who should be safe-guarding children from all such monstrous attacks!
.
Oh yes, we are ripe for judgment! And Judgment Day has now arrived!

“His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber”
Isaiah 56:10
.
But the problem goes even deeper than secular societal depravity! The problem even goes right down to the church-world! Yes, the Christian community has fallen asleep, spiritually, giving sway to, church-entertainment, worldly aspirations, selfish pleasure-seeking, and such-like abominations!
.
After all, society has become a cornucopia of decadent pleasures, world-seeking treasures. And tragically, the church has joined in with the world, allowing Satan to steal a march on us at every turn!
.
And so, we have allowed Lucifer and his visible and invisible armies to bring us to the great hour of Judgment which we are now entering into.

“…the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make thy land desolate; and thy cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant.”
Jeremiah 4:7
.
Many citizens of the nations are perplexed and confounded to see such a great portion of their fellow citizenry in full compliance with the destruction of their societies.
.
Many are asking themselves, “Why are so many intelligent people willingly compliant to keep electing leaders they know to be bent on the destruction of their own nation?! Why are these people so willing to become ‘sheep to the slaughter’?!”
.
And yet, it should not surprise Christians to see how those who have rejected the Savior are being controlled and led about by Satan’s invisible antichrist forces!
.
Ephesians 2:2, 3 reveals the vast throngs in which Satan’s antichrist spirit indwells…“that spirit which now works in the children of men”. Ephesians 2:2, 3.

“GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY!”
Proverbs 25:25
.
But in spite of this awful and terrifying report, there still exists some very Good News!
.
Listen to the prophecy of Joel…
“…come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God:
for the meat offering and the drink offering is withholden from the house of your God.
Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly,
gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the LORD your God,
and cry unto the LORD, Alas for the day!
for the day of the LORD is at hand,
and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come”
Joel 1:5, 6, 13-15
.
Yes, God is calling His sleepy-eyed saints to wake up from our death-like slumber and begin to weep and howl for the destruction coming upon the land! We must cry out for deliverance and watchfulness! We must plead and beg for mercy and repentance!
.
And even though we may not be able to turn back the overflowing tsunami of evil coming upon the land, we might find refuge and safety for ourselves and our family!

“HIDE…FOR A LITTLE MOMENT”
.
As a matter of fact, the Bible counsels us to…
“Come, My people, enter thou into thy chambers,
and shut thy doors about thee:
hide thyself as it were for a little moment,
until the indignation be overpast.
For, behold, the LORD cometh out of His place
to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity…”
Isaiah 26:20, 21
.
Here is revealed a hiding place from the approaching storm.

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN

REVELATION 12 DRAGON CONSTELLATION
.
.
.
.
LOCATION…
.
The Revelation 12 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 also known as the head of Taurus the Bull. The Dragon’s tail-tip is Pleiades and the lower shaft of his tail is partly of Aries and Pisces. Then with aid of a dark and starry night, you may begin to connect the mouth and the tail with a very long body in an oval shape. The front and back legs are made of a few stars: the front legs partially of stars from Taurus . The back legs and rear fin are made of 6 stars from the Cetus Constellation.
.
BODY HARD TO SEE
.
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 .
.
.
.
.
.
.
FIRST APPEARS IN MID-SUMMER
.
This Dragon constellation appears in the eastern horizon about mid-summer in the pre-dawn hours, spewing his flood-waters northward toward the Revelation 12 Woman in Travail (not pictured in this chart).
.
The Wave of Water is primarily composed of the Constellation Auriga. There are two dimmer stars (#’s 1 & 2) which are closest to the Dragon’s mouth. These two dimmer stars are also part of this Wave of Water, but are not part of the Auriga Constellation.
