The Wisdom of Serpents

Greetings in Y'shua,
Some of you are at the present time threatened by severe weather conditions. All of us are threatened by a number of deadly elements that stand at our door. My friends, even in the face of every kind of physical danger I believe the most deadly thing we face is deception. There is no need to fear when we know intimately the one who is truth and perfect love. Hallelujah!
I've been writing about the incredible sign that was presented to us as the closing ceremony of the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, and I've posted the first of the writings online. These will be expanded and updated as work progresses, Lord willing.
However, this email is not really being sent to announce a new posting. While I've been occupied with this effort my thoughts have been on other things as well. The most recent update to Joseph Herrin's parablesblog voices the thought's I've had in recent days, and perhaps yours as well. Or, perhaps this message is for you, to minister truth and deliver you from a trap. Please take some time to read The Wisdom of Serpents and meditate upon it. And, please lift Joseph up in prayer. In what and in whom you truly believe will soon be tested and exposed. Truly we must be wise as serpents, and innocent as doves.
I wrote recently about a celestial sign coming on 911, the eleventh day of the sixth month on the Lord's calendar. I neglected to mention another event expected at that time I feel is one to be watched. On the 10th of September the Large Hadron Collider is scheduled to be fired up, producing its first particle beam. The greater body of this worlds physicists have come together seeking the "God particle" and to discover the secrets of creation. The limits established by the Creator will not be broached. History records two instances where Divine intervention became necessary. In the present, a third instance is near. Recent news has been published of cloned dogs, male and female, who recently brought forth offspring. The milk of cloned cattle has very likely entered the commercial market and been distributed and consumed. Mankind in their foolishness is setting aside what God has created for their own "improvements" and purposes. Wickedness has been appointed a limit.
Our time is short, my friends. Let's make it count.
But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light.
14) For this reason it says,"Awake, sleeper, And arise from the dead, And Christ will shine on you."
15) Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise,
16) making the most of your time, because the days are evil.
17) So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
18) And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit,
19) speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord;
20) always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father;
21) and be subject to one another in the fear of Christ.
Ephesians 5: 13-21
Blessings in Y'shua!
