“How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, who laid the nations low! You said in your heart, “I will ascend into heaven! I will exalt my throne above the stars of God! I will sit on the mountain of assembly, in the far north! I will ascend above the heights of the clouds! I will make myself like the Most High!” Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, to the depths of the pit. Those who see you will stare at you. They will ponder you, saying, “Is this the man who made the earth to tremble, who shook kingdoms; who made the world like a wilderness, and overthrew its cities; who didn’t release his prisoners to their home?”” (Isaiah 14:12-17 WEB)

Hi dear reader, the passage above is God’s prophecy of judgment against the King of Babylon, not Satan:

“that you will take up this parable against the king of Babylon, and say, “How the oppressor has ceased! The golden city has ceased!”” (Isaiah 14:4 WEB)

Another proof that Isaiah 14 is not directly talking about Satan is because it says that the souls in Sheol (hell) will ponder and ask “is this the man”. Man - not devil, fallen angel or demon. 

However seeing the pride that oozes from the five “I will” statements in the passage, it’s undeniable that Satan was working behind the scenes, using the King of Babylon for his own demonic agendas.

I believe that each of the 5 points of the pentagram (star) which the occult uses for their magic spells, represents each one of the arrogant “I will” statements. 

The star itself represents “morning star, son of the dawn”, in reference to Satan, the false god which those who practice the occult knowingly or unknowingly worship. 

Through the passage, we can also infer Satan’s main mission: He is working to develop a way to gain access to heaven on his own terms, so that he can usurp God’s throne and change his fate (of being thrown into the lake of fire at the end of time). 

Satan is working to develop a way to gain access to heaven, on his own terms, so that he can usurp God’s throne and change his fate (of being thrown into the lake of fire at the end of time). But he can't break through the dome of the sky.

The solid dome of the sky as revealed in the Bible

Why has he been unable to do so thus far? It’s because on the second day of creation, God created something powerful that He didn’t like: 

“God said, “Let there be an expanse in the middle of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.” God made the expanse, and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so. God called the expanse “sky”. There was evening and there was morning, a second day.” (Genesis 1:6-8 WEB)

The second day of creation was the only one out of the six days where He didn’t say “it was good”. Learn from God’s example: Unless you have something gracious to say, silence is the best option. 

On that day, He created the expanse called “sky” which separates the waters below it from the waters above it. 

God turned the waters below the sky into oceans, seas and rivers, etc. 

Have you ever touched the window of a plane at high altitude? It’s extremely cold as you get high up in the air!
I believe that the waters above the sky are kept in a frozen state and when they are needed, they come out of the “sky's windows” either as hail, or they melt into liquid state if needed:

"After the seven days, the floodwaters came on the earth. In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the sky’s windows opened. It rained on the earth forty days and forty nights." (Genesis 7:10-12 WEB)

When God sent the great flood to wipe out all life on earth during Noah's time, He poured out some of the waters above out of the sky's windows.

The Hebrew word for expanse is “raki’a” which is translated in different versions of the Bible as: expanse, firmament, and dome. 
Raki’a conveys a sense of stretching out something solid. 

Have you ever watched a science-fiction or fantasy movie that shows a magical force-field shaped like a dome covering and protecting a city? 

That’s what the firmament/expanse/dome called sky looks like. For the purpose of this devotional, let’s just call it “sky”. The Bible gives us some understanding about the fascinating sky. 

In the Book of Job, it is written that the sky is as strong as a cast metal mirror. The sky is a solid structure, not just a space partitioned by gases:

“Can you, with him, spread out the sky, which is strong as a cast metal mirror?” (Job 37:18 WEB)

Have you ever wondered why the sky is blue? That’s because above it are the “waters above”, which I believe are in a frozen state. 

The Bible says that God lays the beams of His rooms (in heaven) upon the waters above, using them as a foundation. 

For that to happen, the waters must be stable and solid, just like when frozen. 

“He covers himself with light as with a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain. He lays the beams of his rooms in the waters. He makes the clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind.” (Psalms 104:2-3 WEB)

The sky and the frozen sea of the waters above also components of the Tabernacle that God commanded Moses to build. 

The Bible says that things in the Tabernacle are earthly copies of the actual things in heaven. 

“It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be cleansed with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.” (Hebrews 9:23 WEB)

The sky is represented by the basin made of brass. Just like we read above the sky is in a dome-shape, solid, like a cast metal mirror, very similar to the brass basin. 

As the passage below states, ministering on the altar (represents the cross on which Jesus died on earth) and entering the Tent of Meeting which represents the divine realm of heaven, are linked. 

To enter heaven, the only way is through being baptized in Jesus’ death, represented by the washing of water. Anything unclean that tries to enter heaven will surely die.

“Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, “You shall also make a basin of brass, and its base of brass, in which to wash. You shall put it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and you shall put water in it. Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet in it. When they go into the Tent of Meeting, they shall wash with water, that they not die; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to Yahweh. So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they not die: and it shall be a statute forever to them, even to him and to his descendants throughout their generations.”” (Exodus 30:17-21 WEB)

The frozen sea of the waters above is represented by the screen at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting. 
The frozen waters (screen) are above the sky (brass basin), and heaven (Tent of Meeting) is built upon the frozen waters. 

““You shall make a screen for the door of the Tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the embroiderer.” (Exodus 26:36 WEB)

Notice that there’s no outer space? The Bible doesn’t support the idea of an outer space between earth and heaven. 
The Bible says that the sun, moon and stars are in the sky, meaning under the dome. These celestial bodies are much nearer than science tells us. 

“God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs to mark seasons, days, and years; and let them be for lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth”; and it was so. God made the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He also made the stars. God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light to the earth, and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. God saw that it was good. There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.” (Genesis 1:14-19 WEB)

In the Book of Daniel an angel - most likely archangel Gabriel, revealed that the expanse (sky) is bright, perhaps because it reflects light like a mirror as the Book of Job suggests:

“Those who are wise shall shine as the brightness of the expanse; and those who turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.” (Daniel 12:3 WEB)

Click here to watch a video clip of a rocket launch, where the missile hits the sky and causes ripples upon impact.
I wonder if such missile tests and rockets sent up into the sky are actually ways in which the devil is trying to see if he can somehow make a dent or crack in the sky. 

I’d say based on God’s word that it is impossible for the devil to damage the sky at all. The Bible suggests that the sky is a display of God’s power. 

“Praise ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.” (Psalms 150:1 KJV)

There is no way the devil can penetrate the sky because he is no match for God’s power. 

Even if a nuclear warhead is fired heavenwards, the mighty sky will not budge at all. 

The devil can try all he wants to instigate nations to research and develop advanced missiles with strong destructive power, but he will still fail. 

Dear brother and sister in Christ, today since the devil has been utterly cast out of heaven, he is like a cockroach trapped under a fishbowl scuttling about, desperate to escape - Reaching out his hand trying to grasp at a glory that he will never again experience.

About the Book:

​

One day when I was singing praises to God, an image floated up in my spirit: a big and beautiful sandcastle being washed away by the waves from the sea. God was teaching me the futility of holding tightly onto worldly possessions because like the sandcastle, they won't last, and one day will cease to exist.

He taught me from His word to focus on Him and by doing so, I would reap great eternal rewards before Jesus' throne at the start of the Millennium. These rewards will last forever and can't be destroyed or stolen. 

It is my prayer that the revelations in this book will help you to live with a focus on the things above where God is, fulfill your God-given calling in life, be happier and to accumulate more eternal rewards to your account.

In this Book, you will learn about:​

- Heavenly investment advice and the futility of worldly pursuits from a trillionaire in the Bible

- Why God has to reward us in order to be righteous

- When and how God will destroy the current earth and sky to make way for new ones

- The types of fireproof works that earn eternal rewards at the end of time

- The abundant rewards of doing good works while abiding by the non-disclosure agreement between God and you

- The difference between the temporary places of torment: Sheol and Abaddon

- Who is the Antichrist and his name revealed in the Bible

- What is the Mark of the Beast and why it disqualifies its recipients from receiving salvation

- The different judgments at the throne of Jesus Christ and what it means for you as a believer

- How to fulfill your calling and maximize your gifts to receive the best eternal rewards 

Testimonials about the contents of this book:

"Sandcastles Don't Last Forever is very well written, its message loud and clear. Milton Goh gives common-sense insight on often confusing Scripture, which is much appreciated in these troubled times. My understanding of the Bible has definitely improved."

- Mike Garrett, first Editor/ Publisher for Stephen King and Author of Christian Novel "Innocence Denied", from USA

"This book is absolutely breathtaking. We don't work to be saved but were created to do good works. I am so energized and excited to know God values our works and we will be rewarded. This is all Glory to Jesus... I cant wait to throw my crowns at his feet and thank him for saving my life!" - Evangelist Michael Clark from USA

"Dear Milton Goh, I truly thank our Abba, Father for the revelations in this book. It is so amazing how I begin to discover important verses in the Bible that I have never read. That instead of following riches, with sleepless nights, and actually shortening our lives, we are just to 'Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ', and 'Love one another'. How beautiful to find out that actually in the Bible there is both 'Earthly or Worldly Investment Wisdom' and 'Eternal Investment Wisdom' according to the revelations here from Ecclesiastes 5:14-17 WEB)!; “It seems like Solomon was not only wise at earning material riches but also at earning eternal riches.” All the glory to our Lord Jesus Christ! God bless you Milton Goh for such a wonderful book!" - Nitta Nierra from Belgium

“Thank you Milton. I have just finished reading “Sandcastles Don’t Last Forever”. It’s such a good book that's filled with God's word. I love it very much. Might read again if I have the time. Thanks so much!” - Mally Chai from Singapore

"I'm reading this book and loving it! The revelations of the Gospel truth shared and it's life applications are absolutely amazing! I give glory to the Lord Jesus for my dear brother Milton for this exceptional resource. I'm gonna keep feeding on its contents and believe God for supernatural breakthroughs as my mind is renewed in Christ!" - Terence from Tombel, Cameroon 

​

“Excellent book!! I enjoyed reading it so much and definitely recommend it! Milton is so gifted and all his teachings have blessed me tremendously! I thank God for people like him. Get this book, it will be worth it!” - Madeleine from SA, “Unmerited Favor” tier patron

The Second Coming of Christ prophesied in the story of Moses

​There is only one who can open and close the sky by His command: God. In the future, the sky will be opened, revealing the glory of heaven:

“I saw the heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it is called Faithful and True. In righteousness he judges and makes war.” (Revelation 19:11 WEB)

Jesus will return with us from heaven to earth at the end of the Great Tribulation to destroy the Antichrist and his wicked armies. 

One day while I was listening to the audio of the Book of Revelation being read, a major revelation came flooding into my heart as I heard this portion of Scripture:

“I saw another great and marvelous sign in the sky: seven angels having the seven last plagues, for in them God’s wrath is finished. I saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who overcame the beast, his image, and the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God. They sang the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, “Great and marvelous are your works, Lord God, the Almighty! Righteous and true are your ways, you King of the nations.” (Revelation 15:1-3 WEB)

The key in the passage above is the Song of Moses and the Song of the Lamb! When was the Song of Moses first sung?
It was before Moses' death, before the Lord brought the children of Israel into the Promised Land of Canaan. God calls this song a witness against the children of Israel. 

"Now therefore write this song for yourselves, and teach it to the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel. For when I shall have brought them into the land which I swore to their fathers, flowing with milk and honey, and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and grown fat; then will they turn to other gods, and serve them, and despise me, and break my covenant. It shall happen, when many evils and troubles are come on them, that this song shall testify before them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they frame this day, before I have brought them into the land which I swore." So Moses wrote this song the same day, and taught it the children of Israel." (Deuteronomy 31:19-22 WEB)

Here is the song of Moses which is a song that declares God’s goodness towards Israel, Israel's ungrateful disobedience, and God's promise of vengeance against Israel's enemies.

"Give ear, you heavens, and I will speak. Let the earth hear the words of my mouth. My doctrine shall drop as the rain. My speech shall condense as the dew, as the small rain on the tender grass, as the showers on the herb. For I will proclaim the name of Yahweh. Ascribe greatness to our God! The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are justice: a God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and right is he. They have dealt corruptly with him, [they are] not his children, [it is] their blemish. [They are] a perverse and crooked generation. Do you thus requite Yahweh, foolish people and unwise? Isn't he your father who has bought you? He has made you, and established you. Remember the days of old. Consider the years of many generations. Ask your father, and he will show you; your elders, and they will tell you. When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the children of men, he set the bounds of the peoples according to the number of the children of Israel. For Yahweh's portion is his people. Jacob is the lot of his inheritance. He found him in a desert land, in the waste howling wilderness. He surrounded him. He cared for him. He kept him as the apple of his eye. As an eagle that stirs up her nest, that flutters over her young, he spread abroad his wings, he took them, he bore them on his feathers. Yahweh alone led him. There was no foreign god with him. He made him ride on the high places of the earth. He ate the increase of the field. He caused him to suck honey out of the rock, oil out of the flinty rock; Butter of the herd, and milk of the flock, with fat of lambs, rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the finest of the wheat. Of the blood of the grape you drank wine. But Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked. You have grown fat. You have grown thick. You have become sleek. Then he forsook God who made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation. They moved him to jealousy with strange [gods]. They provoked him to anger with abominations. They sacrificed to demons, [which were] no God, to gods that they didn't know, to new [gods] that came up of late, which your fathers didn't dread. Of the Rock who became your father, you are unmindful, and have forgotten God who gave you birth. Yahweh saw [it], and abhorred [them], because of the provocation of his sons and his daughters. He said, "I will hide my face from them. I will see what their end shall be; for they are a very perverse generation, children in whom is no faithfulness. They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God. They have provoked me to anger with their vanities. I will move them to jealousy with those who are not a people. I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation. For a fire is kindled in my anger, Burns to the lowest Sheol, Devours the earth with its increase, and sets the foundations of the mountains on fire. "I will heap evils on them. I will spend my arrows on them.[They shall be] wasted with hunger, and devoured with burning heat and bitter destruction. I will send the teeth of animals on them, With the poison of crawling things of the dust. Outside the sword shall bereave, and in the rooms, terror; on both young man and virgin, The nursing infant with the gray-haired man. I said, I would scatter them afar. I would make the memory of them to cease from among men; were it not that I feared the provocation of the enemy, lest their adversaries should judge wrongly, lest they should say, 'Our hand is exalted, Yahweh has not done all this.'" For they are a nation void of counsel. There is no understanding in them. Oh that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end! How could one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, and Yahweh had delivered them up? For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges. For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, of the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are grapes of gall, Their clusters are bitter. Their wine is the poison of serpents, The cruel venom of asps. "Isn't this laid up in store with me, sealed up among my treasures? Vengeance is mine, and recompense, at the time when their foot slides; for the day of their calamity is at hand. The things that are to come on them shall make haste." For Yahweh will judge his people, and have compassion on his servants, when he sees that [their] power is gone, There is none [remaining], shut up or left at large. He will say, "Where are their gods, The rock in which they took refuge; Which ate the fat of their sacrifices, And drank the wine of their drink offering? Let them rise up and help you! Let them be your protection. "See now that I, even I, am he, There is no god with me. I kill, and I make alive. I wound, and I heal. There is no one who can deliver out of my hand. For I lift up my hand to heaven, And say, As I live forever, if I whet my glittering sword, My hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to my adversaries, and will recompense those who hate me. I will make my arrows drunk with blood. My sword shall devour flesh with the blood of the slain and the captives, from the head of the leaders of the enemy." Rejoice, you nations, [with] his people, for he will avenge the blood of his servants. He will render vengeance to his adversaries, And will make expiation for his land, for his people. Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Joshua the son of Nun. Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel; He said to them, "Set your heart to all the words which I testify to you this day, which you shall command your children to observe to do, [even] all the words of this law. For it is no vain thing for you; because it is your life, and through this thing you shall prolong your days in the land, where you go over the Jordan to possess it." (Deuteronomy 32:1-47 WEB)

We are not told what the lyrics of the Song of the Lamb are, but I believe that the Song of Moses is a parallel to the Song of the Lamb. 

Like the Song of Moses, the Song of the Lamb is probably a song declaring Jesus’ victory over the enemies of  His people! 

The story of Moses is a shadow and pattern of what will happen in the end times. Moses is the shadow, Jesus is the substance. 

Here are two tables I made to summarize the revelation that the Holy Spirit showed me. I hope you will be extremely blessed to see Jesus revealed in the Old Testament.

Jesus probably told Clopas and his companion about this revelation on the Road to Emmaus since He revealed the things concerning Himself in the Scriptures from Moses and the Prophets. 

I feel so blessed whenever God pours out fresh revelation like this from heaven. 
My brother or sister in Christ, today we can praise the Lord like in the Song of Moses and the Song of the Lamb because in Jesus we have the victory. 

The devil is destined for defeat, and because we are in Christ, we are more than conquerors through Him who loves us. Amen!

Pinterest Pinnable Image. I feel so blessed whenever God pours out fresh revelation like this from heaven. My brother or sister in Christ, today we can praise the Lord like in the Song of Moses and the Song of the Lamb because in Jesus we have the victory. The devil is trapped under the sky and destined for defeat, and because we are in Christ, we are more than conquerors through Him who loves us. Amen!
