HEAVEN REJOICES, LOOK OUT EARTH. Good riddance. All contamination is now removed from heaven. There will be great joy and rejoicing in heaven when Satan and his group are gone. WOE, to the earth. The devil has come down to the earth, filled with wrath and anger. His short reign, {three and one half years}, will be the most agonizing and brutal time that the earth has ever known. He will demand complete and abject submission by all over whom he will rule. He understands the times and the seasons and knows that he has but a short time.
ONE-THIRD OF THE STARS THROWN VIOLENTLY TO EARTH. This is the action of the dragons {Satan} tail. The stars represent the saints of the Lord. Dan. 12:3 The little horn, the antichrist, will cast down some of the stars {saints} to the ground and stomp on them. Dan. 8:10 The tail of the dragon is composed of lying prophets. This is a serious situation for the church. If ever there was a time when we need truth in the church it is today. Isa. 9:15 Jesus warned of those who come prophesying lies. He even revealed how subtle they would come. Purporting to be sheep. Acting as sheep. But inwardly, they are ferocious wolves. They have one purpose only and that is to create havoc and destroy the flock. Mt. 7:15 The deception will be strong and convincing. There will come false Christs and false prophets who will manifest great signs and wonders. That is troubling and heart shaking. Lord grant us the true Spirit and above all the gift of discernment. So persuasive will be their works, that if it were possible, even the very elect would be hoodwinked by them. Mt. 24:24 This is a vital subject and must be prayerfully considered by every member of the body of Christ. Paul said; even if I or an angel come with a gospel other than that preached, let him be accursed or everlastingly cut off from heaven. Paul would have great acceptance among the people. Yet he said; if I change my doctrine or teach another gospel. Or if angels come with another gospel.The Lord only knows that angels are receiving far too much attention among Christians today. They are being exalted to a position that they do not deserve. So strongly was Paul moved in his spirit that he recorded his statement twice. Gal. 1:8-9 The evidence of the damage done by these impostors is the number of stars that are pulled down and destroyed by the tail of the dragon. One-third of those who say they follow Christ will be deceived into thinking that the antichrist is the true Christ. What can we say, buy the truth and sell it not. Be a student of the WORD. Hide the WORD in our hearts that we might not sin against the Lord and ourselves by following after those who would lead us astray. We must learn to apply the WORD to everything that is presented to us. For example, Jesus drove the merchants from the Temple. Rebuking them for having made His Fathers house a market place. John 2:16 Many who started with an attitude of trusting the Lord have turned to merchandising the gospel. This could well be a warning sign.
OH. OH. WHAT IS THIS? Mass persecution or total war declared against saints. It will take place after the Bride has been taken into the wilderness where she is protected for the three and one half years of the great tribulation period. The dragon having been thwarted in his attempt to destroy the Bride will turn, in fierce anger against the REMNANT OF THE SEED OF THE WOMAN.Those who did not meet the classifications required to be in the Bride. Rev. 12:17 This remnant are the <others>, {same Greek word} referred to in Mat. 25:11 They are the sleeping <others> to whom Paul referred. Unfortunately there are multitudes of half hearted, lukewarm, religious, once a week attendees (as long as their favorite game isn’t on or we got company, {bring them to church}, or such a beautiful day for a drive, etc.) Wake up, get serious, some will be left behind to face this situation. Make sure you are in the Bride. 1 Thes. 5:6 The tragedy is, that they are good people. They keep the commandments, love thy neighbor. They bear witness to the saving grace of the Lord Jesus but come short. They are like the rich young ruler, <one thing thou lackest> too worldly minded. Mark 10:21
