The Rise of False-Worship Globally. Part [7] 07/31/2024 (Morning thought)

Revelation 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. 4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

There are some fanciful interpretations pertaining to who, or what is referred to as the “dragon” in the previous passage. There’s no need to waste precious time trying to figure it out, for at the back of all false worship stands one person and one person only, the devil.

In other words, every false concept, and every false practice pertaining to worship always comes from a single source, invariably. Thus, the word “dragon” in verse 4 of Revelation 13, tells us that all roads lead directly back to the devil, because all the concepts, and practices of false worship originated with him.

Isaiah 14: 12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north. 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most-High.

Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceives the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

The Rise of False-Worship Globally. Part [6] 07/31/2024 (Evening thought)

Esther 3:6 And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had shewed him the people of Mordecai: wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.

As we seek to unravel the deeper meaning of our first passages, we must bear in mind that there are certain inevitable results to man-worship, hence the reason why God warns folks against falling into that snare. Haman became quite irritated when he heard that Mordecai refused to offer him reverential worship, and wherever this is the case, the persecution of all true worshipers will follow, sooner or later.

Whenever you see any persons craving praise, and worship, whenever you see such persons becoming upset if others fail to admire, or flatter them, there the stage will be set for false worship to be enforced by the one who seeks to be worshipped, if they may have the authority and power to do so.

Then, onward to our day currently, the same issues persist, for we are engulfed in false worship, for the Bible again points us to the fact that false worship of man will take centerstage, and will bring probation on our planet to a permanent and irreversible close. And again, it is satan who would be on the receiving end, of the man-worship that will be instituted. This point in particular needs to be clearly understood by all, because it is quite possible, that millions today are inadvertently worshiping devils and they know it not.

Revelation 13:8 And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, there is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from all people; neither keep they the king's laws: therefore, it is not for the king's profit to suffer them.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
