Featured Alligator Eats Boy: A Serious Warning for All Christians

Incredibly, another horrific incident has occurred involving a small boy, but this time with deadly consequences. Suddenly, an alligator snatched the child while he was playing in 12 inches of water at the Disney Grand Floridian Resort & Spa’s Seven Seas Lagoon in Orlando.

The only warning given the Nebraska family were signs stating, ‘No Swimming.’

Had there been signs explaining the reason – No Swimming Due to Alligators – no sane parent would have allowed their child in the water.

For that matter, no sane vacationer would have casually relaxed on the man-made beach knowing alligators have legs and can run 20 mph.

Here we have another spiritual lesson: naiveté and ignorance can be eternally deadly to the soul when seduced into a false sense of security.

Satan’s ministers do not come waving warning signs which state, “Beware Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing.”

In fact, like the Germans in WW II who dressed as Polish soldiers in order to take the Poles by surprise, Satan’s ministers pose as bona fide Christians, carrying credentials from their seminaries and denominations which seduce the naïve and ignorant into believing their every word.

A prime example of such a deceiver in our day is Joel Osteen.

Prior to Joel’s rise to power, the Rev. Dr. Billy Graham held the title of ‘Grand Deceiver,’ as he led untold millions into believing the Pope and Roman Catholic Church are of God, and are to be honored as such.

Like the cunning alligator who snatches unwary victims, Satan’s false prophets are those whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord (Jude 1:4 NIV).

May God grant the reader the full armor of God by which Christians can discern, disarm and expose the evil among us.

Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them (Ephesians 5:11 ESV).

 

If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

 

Amen.

Mitchell now fancies himself an alligator expert.

A true Florida alligator expert, ‘Swampmaster’ Jeff Quattrocchi, was interviewed on tonight’s broadcast of The O’Reilly Factor.

According to Jeff, there is no doubt that anyone living in Florida knew the danger of alligators’ presence in lakes and lagoons.

Mitchell, apparently, is the lone exception.

Mr. Quattrocchi voiced his amazement that signs indicating the high likelihood of the presence of alligators were nonexistent.

O’Reilly, who had lived in Florida, concurred that Disney was negligent and will soon be faced with an enormous lawsuit.

Thus far, 4 alligators have been caught in the Lagoon.

 

If only that were all you 'don't see.'

 

Neither the premise nor the conclusion are skewed or without strength.

It is only the minds of those whose spiritual discernment is skewed and without strength who fail to see the spiritual truths which this tragedy teaches.

For those, like Darrell and Mitchell, who cannot muster up the spiritual wherewithal to put 2 and 2 together, I will break it down for you:

Disney represents the well-beloved ‘Christian’ leaders who draw their power, authority and financial success from the masses who desire their ears to be tickled with preaching that compliments their unregenerate souls.

Their churches are like resorts, comfortable and relaxing, where the stress and strain of a sinful life can be forgotten for a few hours.

Both Disney and the false prophets refuse to warn their customers/patrons/congregants of the whole truth.

Instead of posting signs or preaching that which actually explains what the real issue is, they issue a lukewarm, non-inflammatory warning like ‘No Swimming’ or ‘God loves you so much, it will pain Him greatly if you choose against Christ and go to Hell.’

The alligator represents our enemy, the Devil, seeking whom he may devour.

He does this by stealth, like the Papal Antichrist, who, as a tare sown among the wheat, does not openly declare war on Christ, but by doctrine and practice reveals His unmitigated hatred of Christ, His Father and true Christianity.

Our cunning enemy is always on watch, though hidden from view of the general public, as well as ignorant unregenerate professing Christians. He is ever seeking the foolish and naïve.

The Lagoon represents the deadly waters of lying wonders and false doctrines which surround the false preachers.

The parents represent the unsuspecting unregenerate public who believe all is well with their souls and with the souls of their loved ones.

The child represents the ignorant unregenerate professing Christian who, lacking spiritual discernment and knowledge, ventures into the ill-fated waters of lies and heresies, which temporarily feel pleasant, giving a false sense of joy and well-being.

Scripture sums it up perfectly:

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death (Proverbs 14:12; 16:25).
