Big Hairy Mess

(There aint 55 grand in it)

In ancient times in the lands surrounding and bordering the Mediterranean, men worshipped what they thought or called "gods" which they manufactured with their own hands of earthly materials-stone, marble, brass, bronze, and plaster, etc. These things which they called "gods" were actually demons.

One of these so-called gods which was actually many demons, was depicted in stone as a female with a mass of hair on it's head in such a manner that a phrase used today to describe it would say, "she looks like she just washed her hair and can't do a thing with it", or again, "she looks like she stuck her finger in an electrical socket and got her a hair do". This figure was known as "Medusa". Sometimes it's hair was pictured braided in dreadlocks; other times it appeared as snakes, which is closer to the truth as far as the actual meaning in God's eyes are concerned.

What does this have to do with the present age we are living in? A few posts back I quoted the following passage from Ecclesiastes 1:9 "That which has been is the same that shall be, and that which has been done is the same that shall be done-and there is nothing new under the sun".

The peoples of the ancient times who lived in the areas I am discussing, considered themselves to be "civilized" and "enlightened" and "educated". They built these figures and fastened them to buildings, built temples for them, setting them up inside, and they were scattered in various places throughout the countryside as many of today's archeologists will testify, as they have been dug from the earth. But what does the ancient worship of demons by the use of man made figurines have to do with the world we live in today? The answer to this question lies hidden in the scripture quoted above.

That which was practiced outwardly in ancient times is practiced "inwardly"- in secret- in these times. "That which has been done" in ancient antiquity, "is the same that shall be done"- is being done today.

Mankind, particularly in this country, thinks he too is civilized, enlightened, and educated, and wouldn't "be caught dead" bowing himself down to a figurine made in some chinese factory, but he's doing the same thing in a more subtle, hidden way as he lives his daily life. What was prolifically practiced outwardly in ancient times is practiced in these days as "wisdom", "reason", and "commonsense", hence it's great deception in it's appearance as "good".

The "Medusa" of this day-the "big hairy mess" of the title, is the pervasive influence of "female power" in the form of manipulation, conditioning, cunning, cleverness, flattery, and dissimulation, all hiding behind the "smiley face" of "trust me, I'm here to help you".
It pretends to have compassion on it's fellow human, but uses
victimhood to reach it's desired end of all out control of all humans.

Those who can't be controlled by flattery will be "marginalized"
(the phrase used today is "out of the mainstream"-meaning of no consequence and therefore can be ignored), as fanatics and extremists, troublemakers, and divisive-as not being representatives of "true inclusive, ecumenical christianity".

The female with the head full of snakes signifies a multitude of demons operating out of the mind of multitudes of humans. The Spirit says there are less than 55 thousand demons involved in this system, which is equal to the amount of opportunities she has had to repent, but has refused-Rev.2:21.
