Genesis 3 is so revealing on how the devil tempts us to make wrong decisions. As a result we disobey God and thus, harm our our selves.
He Strikes Up a Conversation
"Did God really say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?," said the serpent to the woman? You see, how craft and deceiving he is? He didn't approach her with a scary look you see in movies, telling her about his evil intentions. Instead, he struck up a very casual conversation with Eve, where nothing seemed apparently wrong.
Be careful of this. The devil is very cunning and crafty. Never enter a conversation with him. Occupy your mind and heart with thoughts about Jesus and you will be safe.
Evil Desire Is To Build Paradise Without God
Man as a result, wanted to build a paradise without God. He was deceived, trapped and took an action to betray his Good Creator God and instead obeyed the devil. Have we succeeded building our own paradise without God? After so many thousands of years, today we are closer to another world war than the world probably was before 1914. Today there is more hunger and different forms of human slavery in the world than I have read ever to be in the history. Chaos, pride and lack of moral compass reign in the world and fill billions of hearts. Selfless love grows cold.
And this started with a simple conversation. The devil tempts us daily by starting a simple conversation with us and making himself comfortable in our thoughts and hearts. What you need to do is to...

Daniel’s interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream is becoming more clear every day. The Iron part of the fourth kingdom (Roman Empire) split into two legs (Catholic and Orthodox). Then the desert clay (Islam) mixed in and is now invading the feet and toes. The stone cut from the mountain without hands it coming. Look up, your redemption draws neigh!
Daniel 2:40 “And the fourth kingdom shall be as strong as iron, inasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and shatters everything; and like iron that crushes, that kingdom will break in pieces and crush all the others.
41 “Whereas you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet the strength of the iron shall be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed with ceramic clay.
42 “And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile.
43 “As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay.
44 “And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.
45 “Inasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold—the great God has made known to the king what will come to pass after this. The dream is certain, and its interpretation is sure.”

Revelation Chapter 12:
1 Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars.
2 Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth.
Nelson, Thomas (2009-02-18). Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) (p. 1193). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.
Previous Bible commentators have taken this as a symbolic vision about Israel (Mary) giving birth to Jesus, and marking the start of the 3 1/2 year Great Tribulation.
However, since “knowledge had increased”, we can use star charting programs such as Stellarium to see that this could be a literal “great sign” in heaven.
The constellation “Virgo”, the Virgin, has always been identified with Mary the Mother of Jesus. The nine stars of Leo, the Lion (of Judah), form a “garland” above her head.
Jupiter has always been identified as the “King” star. It is striped (by His stripes we are healed) and has a large, red spot (they pierced His side).
Here is the sequence of events regarding the Sun, Moon, Jupiter, Virgo, Leo, Mercury, Mars and Venus
Mon, 21 November 2016 = 20th of Cheshvan, 5777
Jupiter enters Virgo (the Virgin’s Womb) crossing line from Spica to Porrima
Sat, 28 January 2017 = 1st of Sh’vat, 5777
Jupiter retrograde motion begins inside Virgo.
Sat, 10 June 2017 = 16th of Sivan, 5777
Jupiter prograde motion resumes inside Virgo
Thu, 17 August 2017 = 25th of Av, 5777
Total Solar eclipse across America (Charleston to Portland)
Sun, 10 September 2017 = 19th of Elul, 5777
Jupiter crosses Heze — Spica line. Virgin gives birth? Conjunction Regulus and Mercury
Wed, 20 September 2017 = 29th of Elul, 5777
New Moon, Venus — Regulus conjunction
Sun, 24 September 2017 = 4th of Tishrei, 5778
Sun at Virgo’s shoulders (clothed), the Moon is at her feet, Mercury, Mars, Venus are added to Leo’s nine stars as Virgo’s 12-star ‘garland’
The great sign in the heaven is complete. This formation has not happened in the past 6000 years and won’t happen again for at least another 2000 years.
Luke 21
25 “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring;
26 “men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
27 “Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 “Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”

Actually, I think Trump will win, but the prospect of a Trump Presidency will cause the Russians and the Iranians to preemptively attack the US as part of their attack on Israel.
In Ezekiel 38, two distinct attacks are described. Biblical scholars have always taken them both to be about Israel, but only the second description specifically mentions Israel. The first is more general, and is hard to fit with the walled cities of current Israel. But it fits the United States pretty well.
10 “Thus says the Lord GOD: “On that day it shall come to pass that thoughts will arise in your mind,
and you will make an evil plan:
11 “You will say, ‘I will go up against a land of unwalled villages;
I will go to a peaceful people, who dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates’—
12 “to take plunder and to take booty, to stretch out your hand against the waste places that are again inhabited,
and against a people gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, who dwell in the midst of the land.
13 “Sheba, Dedan, the merchants of Tarshish, and all their young lions will say to you,
‘Have you come to take plunder? Have you gathered your army to take booty,
to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to take great plunder?’ “
Nelson, Thomas (2009-02-18). Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) (pp. 845-846). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.
That pretty much describes a pre-Trump America. Particularly the part, “against a people gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, who dwell in the midst of the land.”
Then YHWH, through Ezekiel, continues:
14 “Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD:
“On that day when My people Israel dwell safely, will you not know it?
15 “Then you will come from your place out of the far north, you and many peoples with you,
all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army.
16 “You will come up against My people Israel like a cloud, to cover the land.
It will be in the latter days that I will bring you against My land, so that the nations may know Me,
when I am hallowed in you, O Gog, before their eyes.”
17 ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Are you he of whom I have spoken in former days by My servants the prophets of Israel,
who prophesied for years in those days that I would bring you against them?
18 “And it will come to pass at the same time, when Gog comes against the land of Israel,” says the Lord GOD,
“that My fury will show in My face.
19 “For in My jealousy and in the fire of My wrath I have spoken:
‘Surely in that day there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel,
20 ‘so that the fish of the sea, the birds of the heavens, the beasts of the field,
all creeping things that creep on the earth, and all men who are on the face of the earth
shall shake at My presence. The mountains shall be thrown down, the steep places shall fall,
and every wall shall fall to the ground.’
21 “I will call for a sword against Gog throughout all My mountains,” says the Lord GOD.
“Every man’s sword will be against his brother.
22 “And I will bring him to judgment with pestilence and bloodshed;
I will rain down on him, on his troops, and on the many peoples who are with him, flooding rain,
great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
23 “Thus I will magnify Myself and sanctify Myself, and I will be known in the eyes of many nations.
Then they shall know that I am the LORD.” ‘
Nelson, Thomas (2009-02-18). Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) (p. 846). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.
So, that is why I say to everyone: “Repent! The Kingdom of God is at hand!”
Romans 10
8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”
(that is, the word of faith which we preach):
9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”
12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him.
13 For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.”

Blog pimpin’ ain’t easy!
The rest of the story:
“...Resist it, and he will flee from you, teaches us apostle James in 4:7.
Time to Return
Dear reader, it’s time to return back to our Creator Father. Just like the prodigal son, who had refused his father’s love, left him and squandered his inheritance and returned with true repentance, we need to do the same. Repentance and return to our heavenly Father is the only way. There is no other path. While this is the only path, there is plenty of light and salvation on this path. God has come and is waiting for you to hug you, wrap his hands around you, kiss you and lift you up.
“The time has come,†our Lord Jesus said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!†(Mark 1:15). The road to the Paradise and the invitation are open for those who want to repent and return back where they truly belong.
Peace and grace to you from our Lord. “
I have tried to be always very careful to write or interpret any signs or to say anything about the last times. It’s really hard to say.
What counts are two things and everything else that come with these two:
1. Love your God with all your faculties
2. Love your neighbor as yourself.
“Evil Desire Is To Build Paradise Without God”
DemocRats believe they can construct an earthly utopia if everyone will just give up all their freedoms and money.
And then there’s number 3:
Pimp thy blog on someone else’s dime.
One would think that the “devil” would try and screw up the universe itself. But there’s no evidence at all for “Satan” therein until humans begin to abstract him from within their own minds.
It’s the mind from where evil emanates.
Plenty of evidence for God though, who I believe was really the serpent testing his creation.
The Revelation 12:1-2 sign is pretty obvious, today, when knowledge has increased. If it is a mid-Trib sign, then the Seals are already opening. The fourth horse of the Apocalypse is translated as “pale”, but the Greek also means green. That makes the colors of the four horses into the colors of the Islamic nations that seem destined to make up the Caliphate. Israel is back in the land, and still unbelieving, but anticipating the coming of their Messiah. Earthquake activity is way up in recent years. Damascus is almost a ruinous heap. A great world-wide apostasy is underway with all the main-line churches. Violence and wickedness are raising as in the time of Noah. Homosexuality and other sexual perversions are celebrated as in the days of Lot. The Jews count this as year 5777 from Eden, but Christian scholars put it more like we are in year 6000. YHWH Redemption plan called for six days of work and one day of rest, i.e. the Millennial Kingdom. Got to have evening before you can have day.
All in all, I would say that it is a good time to be watching carefully for his return. Be Mary at Jesus feet, and not Martha in the kitchen. Just saying. You have to listen to what the Holy Spirit has to say to you.
@humblegunner —
your presence is hereby requested... ;-)
I think this must be corrected. Adam was not deceived.
"And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression" (1 Tim. 2:14)
What do you make of that?
It all boiled down to “hide the salami” and it’s been going on for a few thousand years, gee ,I think maybe that was the intended consequence.
Even in an unfallen world, I guess Adam before the fall just wasn't practicing enough "servant leadership."
Because, if the woman is unhappy, it *must* be that it is her husband is not obeying God...because God's will is only manifested perfectly when the woman is always satisfied right now.
(Readings from the book of Oprah)
I see ubiquity in your future.
It’s actually quite an old graphic, I post it every so often. Always gets a response!
I think this must be corrected. Adam was not deceived.
"And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression" (1 Tim. 2:14)
What do you make of that?
"Grieve not the Holy Hamster of Rationalization, who speaketh through the mouth of Thy Wife, lest she make thy bed a barren wasteland and Thou shalt mourn the Fullness of Thy Vessel with no-one to relieve..."
(Again, from the Book of Oprah, from the famous Lecture on the Mount (at *that* time of month) )
x2. Adam knew full well his choice. Eve was deceived. One could argue which is worse...
These are read openly on the Holy Day of August 12 during the Season of Bureaucracy.
