Hitching One’s Wagon to Satan’s Star

Sin and Slavery

“Pick a star, or hero, or whatever product/service/idea you are presenting, and hitch your wagon to it.”
–Ozana Giusca, More and Better Customers – Blogging Action Plan

hitch one’s wagon to a star: (Canada, US idiomatic) To commit to an aspirational goal or course of action that will lead to fulfillment.

In the end times, the whole world worships Satan–except for those whose names are written in the book of life of the Lamb.

“And they worshipped the dragon [Satan] 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? And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.”
–Revelation 13:4,8

It could be said that the whole world hitches its wagon to Satan’s star; i.e., the whole world commits to Satan’s plan for man.

In other words, man rejects God and Jesus Christ and chooses Satan to lead man to green pastures.

Some make this choice willingly.

Many others are persuaded to come along for the ride.

ALL are deceived.

“And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world”
–Revelation 12:9

But, as the dragon and his minions are given control of the earth for three and a half years (42 months, 1260 days), so many of the deceived will look around, see who is temporarily given control and say “Hey!  I might be getting in on the ground floor!”

The truth is that Satan is a notorious liar.

In fact, Satan’s main power may be that he is an accomplished liar.

Jesus Christ called Satan the “father” of lies.

“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”
–John 8:44

SO, all of those poor, deceived workers of iniquity who dreamed about the day that Satan’s end times plan would come to fruition–who had hitched their wagons to Satan’s star–will find out (to their eternal dismay) that there is no truth in Satan.

After living a lie (or more than one lie) their entire life, some will find that they have been working for a liar and dreaming a lie.

When that cold, numbing reality washes over them, those poor, deceived souls will discover that they have hitched their wagon to a fallen star.

“And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.”
–Revelation 20:1-3,7-10

HAS the reader become a servant of those he KNOWS lie to him?

It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
