SIGNS AND SYMBOLS OF THE DEVILS

Let’s be aware of our environment. God said that the god of this world is Satan. He is indeed. You can see his signs and symbols in our everyday life: logos of many manufacturers and products, signs and gestures use by many people especially prominent personalities, symbols you can see in churches, buildings, and on images. Satan is the great deceiver and many people were deceived because they would rather read and search and or focus for things that is of worldly instead of searching things about God or read the love letters of God –the Scripture.

Check out these different symbols:

Dagon-it is a fishlike symbol. Dagon is the chief god of the Philistine. Anything that you can see which is a fishlike symbol is a symbol of Dagon and is of pagan and of course belongs to Satan. Examples:

Sun – Sol Invictus is the sun god of the Romans and a patron of Roman soldiers. You can see this sun symbols in flags, product logos, halo on the head of images, and or anything that is of round with some kind of ray designs around is a sun symbol.

Crescent Moon – symbol of Muslims or Islam which is not of our God and is of Satan.

Pentagram -Hexagram -eyes of Horus-Freemason symbols All seeing eye just like in the dollar bill. The Swastika, Nazi, the Seal of David, but actually it’s Solomon’s seal and not David. Remember that David was God’s favorite, so that seal was of Solomon’s who became pagan because of his pagan wives.  God symbol during the time of Moses was the Lampstand in the Holy place called Menorah  which was also used during the time of David. The number is 7 which is the number of God.

Let’s go to the hand gestures that is symbolic of Satan:   lot of famous personalities use these symbols. Men specially are fond of using those sign symbols when taking photo. The last hand sign symbol which we can see in Jesus Christ images means the symbol of peace, but it’s not of peace, and it is not the face of Jesus. Noticed the halo in his head and check out the hand sign with that of Baphomet hand sign feature below.

This is Baphomet- originated from the Knights of the Templar as their deity. The pictures depicted almost all symbols of Satan and hand signs, too. He is also tantamount to Pan-Greek god of sexual perversion. The Baphomet is a hermaphrodite, perhaps, the reasons why LGBT is growing in numbers with majority of a male than a female, because his sign is everywhere.

You can find several satanic symbols on logos such as Starbucks-fishy image; Coke –pentagram; Vodafone, Google Chrome, Shell, Caltex, Mitsubishi, etc. (there are so many of them).

Did you know that beads are also of pagans? Pagan religion is of Satan. There are some religions who use prayer beads. Example: Buddhists which affected many Asian countries such as Japan, Korea, China. Hindu such as the Sikh. Muslims, Orthodox, and Roman Catholics, too. Listen when they pray together using the beads, it is babbling. This is what the Lord had said about repetitive prayers just like using prayer beads. In Matthew 6:7

7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words

Those are but, few things about symbols and signs of the devil that we should be aware of, and get rid of, if we can.

Now, we know why Satan is the god of this world with his signs and symbols and in music all over, his power over man becomes more evident. This paved way for the coming of the Lawlessness in 2Thessalonians 2:3-10,

Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness^a is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God. 7 For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie. 10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.

Read the Bible to find out tlhe truth.

BEST LEGACY FOR OUR CHILDREN

A lot of parents would consider EDUCATION as the best legacy they can give their children. It might be one of the best legacy but, for me the best legacy we can give our children is FAITH. Why faith? Look at the promises of God below:

Proverbs 3:1-3

Proverbs 3:1,"My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:  Proverbs 3:2,"For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. Proverbs 3:3," Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:" "So shalt thou find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man."

Deuteronomy 6: 6-9

 

6 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts.

7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.

9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates

 We all want success, peace and joy in all aspects of our life and which are the promises of God to every human being as stated in the verses above. Every parents do their best to give the best for their children for them to receive a happy , peaceful successful future life.

 

Most of us are thinking that it's through education that our children can have a successful future.  The parents is the foundation of the family. Everything should starts  from them. As parents, we need to take the initiative and present our faith to our children. They should give the children an enduring sense of security and stability nurtured in an environment of safety and love. This can be done by parents who walk with faith in God. If you as parents knows the words of God  and pass it to your children as your legacy, you will never worry about their future, because you will know that God will always finds a way for them to have an amazing life.

 

THE STORY OF CALEB -FROM BOOK OF NUMBERS

Caleb was one of the spy who looked into the land of Canaan to see how the land was. There were actually 12 spies dispatched by Moses to explore the land promised to the Israel people. However, 10 of them spread a bad report about the land. Only Joshua and Caleb brought the good news and was strong in faith that they can have the land.

The Reports of the Spies :

⁷ They gave Moses this account: “We went into the land to which you sent us, and it does flow with milk and honey! Here is its fruit. ²⁸ But the people who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large. We even saw descendants of Anak there. ²⁹ The Amalekites live in the Negev; the Hittites, Jebusites and Amorites live in the hill country;and the Canaanites live near the sea and along the Jordan.” -that was the report of the 10 spies.

Because of that bad news the Israel people grumbled against Moses and Aaron.

^14: 2 All the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and the whole assembly said to them, “If only we had died in Egypt! Or in this wilderness! ³ Why is the Lord bringing us to this land only to let us fall by the sword? Our wives and children will be taken as plunder. Wouldn’t it be better for us to go back to Egypt?” ⁴ And they said to each other, “We should choose a leader and go back to Egypt.”-Numbers 14:1-4

Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, “We should go up and take possesion of the land, for we can certainly do it.”-that was the only positive report.

^{5 Then Moses and Aaron fell facedown in front of the whole Israelite assembly gathered there. 6 Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had explored the land, tore their clothes 7 and said to the entire Israelite assembly, “The land we passed through and explored is exceedingly good. 8 If the Lord is pleased with us, he will lead us into that land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and will give it to us. 9 Only do not rebel against the Lord. And do not be afraid of the people of the land, because we will devour them. Their protection is gone, but the Lord is with us. Do not be afraid of them.”So, the promised of God to him : Numbers 14:5-930}

The Lord answered their prayer, however with conditions to those who grumbled against God.

 ^{20 The Lord replied, “I have forgiven them, as you asked.21 Nevertheless, as surely as I live and as surely as the glory of the Lordfills the whole earth, 22 not one of those who saw my glory and the signs I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness but who disobeyed me and tested me ten times— 23 not one of them will ever see the land I promised on oath to their ancestors. No one who has treated me with contempt will ever see it.-Numbers 14:20-23}

However, to Caleb who trusted in God, this was what the Lord said:

²⁴ But because my servant Caleb has a different spirit and follows me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he went to, and his descendants will inherit it, says the Lord.Numbers 14:24

Corinthians 5:7 says, "For we live by faith and not by sight"

Most people look at things by sight and not by faith. These are some negative things that people say when faced with  obstructions on their plan or desired dreams: I cannot do it; I don't have money  for it; that cannot be done; that is impossible; and all the negative things that they see in fullfillment of their dreams and plans.

Sometimes  it takes a leap of faith to do the first step and have God to work with your plans by praying and trusting that He will make you realized your dreams. Some people say that God answers, Yes, No or Wait. I tell you God, never answers No to a prayer request. . Di ba sabi ni Jesus,"

"Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. ". John 14:13-14

However, there is a condition. (of course hindi din naman tayo hihingi ng bagay na makakasama sa ating kapwa-it should be in line with God's command),

⁶ But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. ⁷ That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. ⁸ Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.James 1:6-8

When we see obstructions along the way to our desired plan, we tend to get away with it and changed the plan. Normally people trust in the power of the people and not seen the power of God, just like those Israel who had seen the power of God in their life, but still failed to trust in Him.

Look at what happened to those who grumbled: They were not left by punishment.

³³ Your children will be shepherds here for forty years, suffering for your unfaithfulness, until the last of your bodies lies in the wilderness. ³⁴ For forty years—one year for each of the forty days you explored the land—you will suffer for your sins and know what it is like to have me against you.-Numbers 14:33-34

Take note that every sin has it's equal punishment.

CONCLUSION

So, the story of Jacob taught us that we should look things by faith and not by sight. That every sin we committed there is an equal punishment. You may be forgiven, but still are not free from punishment.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!
