“Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of His holiness.

.

Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.”

Psalm 48:1, 2

This above passage sings of Mount Zion, in the sides of the North!

.

But if one looks to the Northeast in late Summer and into Fall, there is a constellation which God created to be a heavenly picture of the Heavenly Mount Zion. And it is commonly known as Cassiopeia. But God has created it to symbolize the true Zion, which is in Heaven.

.

Listen…  “But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,” Hebrews 12:22

.

Yes, Jerusalem and Mount Zion here on earth are merely earthly types, to represent the true Heavenly Jerusalem and Mount Zion.

LOCATING HEAVENLY MOUNT ZION 

.

But if the Reader will go out in August and well into November, this wonderful constellation can be seen in the Northeast night-sky.

.

But don’t wait too long! Because once it enters the western sky, it flips upside down and can no longer be seen as a mountain.

.

And likewise, don’t wait too long to make up your mind to follow Jesus, because the Valley of Decision within your own heart may also disappear!

.

Now, this constellation is the very same constellation as the Mount of Blessing Constellation in the Valley of Decision Constellation Group. And it represents the favored mountain to which the people of God are to climb.

“ALL MY SPRINGS ARE IN THEE”

Psalm 87:7

.

Psa 87:1  A Psalm or Song for the sons of Korah. His foundation is in the holy mountains. 
Psa 87:2  The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. 
Psa 87:3  Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah. 
Psa 87:4  I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there. 
Psa 87:5  And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her. 
Psa 87:6  The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah. 
Psa 87:7  As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee. 

.

In this above Psalm 87, God reveals that God’s “foundation is in the Holy Mountain” of Zion. And then, God goes on to reveal two camps of persons: those who are born out of Zion, and those who are born within her gates. And those who are born in her gates, God will write among His people!

.

This, of course can only be understood spiritually, referring to Salvation: those who have it being born in Zion, and those who do not have Salvation being born in, “Rahab and Babylon…Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.” Psalm 87:4

.

And finally, God ends this Psalm by saying, “All My springs are in thee”, indicating that Heavenly Mount Zion is the only place where the “wellspring of life” and the true Holy Spirit can be found! In other words, Salvation can be found no where else, certainly not in any other religion nor in any false gospel!

MULTITUDES IN THE VALLEY OF DECISION

.

Listen… “Multitudes, multitudes in the Valley of Decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the Valley of Decision. The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining. The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of His people, and the strength of the children of Israel.” Joel 3:14-16

.

Now this above passage speaks of multitudes in the Valley of Decision. And if the Reader will look closely, it can be seen that a certain galaxy appears to be climbing up this Mount Zion Constellation. This galaxy is commonly known as the Andromeda Galaxy. And it is made of an estimated trillion stars, which certainly qualifies as a “multitude”!

ARISE! LET US GO UP TO ZION!

.

Now, the Bible prophesies that Mount Zion will be a much sought-after mountain in the last days.

.

Listen… “For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the LORD our God….Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.” Jeremiah 31:6, 12

.

So here above is veiled, allegorical language which speaks of certain day, in which God’s people will all come to heavenly Zion. 

.

“SINGING UNTO ZION”

.

Listen again, as we hear the sound of singing… “Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.” Isaiah 51:11

.

Yes, that day has now come and God is revealing this wonderful Sign Of Heaven, which appears as a beautiful diadem and an ensign in the night-heavens, sitting a a glorious city on a hill.

.

And God’s people and anyone who is tired of this sad, selfish, and hopeless world are now invited to come to Zion, “the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation,” Isaiah 33:20

A HEAVENLY HOBBY

.

.

.

.

.

.

“Lift up your eyes on high, and behold Who hath created these things; that brings out their host by number: He calls them all by names by the greatness of His might, for that He is strong in power; not one faileth.” Isaiah 40:26

.

.

The above verse is a plea from God to look up at the Heavens and behold Who has created these things.

.

In this busy work-a-day world, there are many very interesting things which can occupy one’s time and energy: hobbies, and careers, and entertainments and worries, and habits, to name just a few.

.

But as the child of God devotes his or her life to God, there should be a jealous guarding of one’s own heart… “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” Proverbs 4:23.

.

The Christian wants nothing to get in the way of running that Christian Race.

“AND WHEN YE SEE THESE THINGS…

.

LOOK UP, LIFT UP YOUR HEAD”

.

But having said this, there is one hobby which every ‘Noble Berean’ may take up, which only compliments the pursuit of the heavenly Prize.

.

Yes, Signs Of Heaven becomes a wonderfully rewarding hobby which, unlike many less meaningful hobbies, pays off with rich, heavenly rewards. Everlasting rewards!

.

And unlike these people in this photo with equipment, all you need is fairly good vision, and a dark, starry night.

.

And once a person really gets to know these heavenly messengers, it will become very apparent that the message connected with these signs is truly a message to be heeded.

.

Thus will the Christian be able to share this message with others. And there are perhaps many nuances and hidden biblical truths to these signs which have yet to be discovered.

FIRST FIND ORION & 7 STARS

.

The very first step in finding these many constellations, should be to find the two main constellations: Orion, and the 7 Stars (aka, The Big Dipper).

.

These two constellations represent Christ (Orion), and His Church (7 Stars).

.

And just as these are the easiest constellations to find, so too, the first place to begin studying the Bible is the Four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John).

.

These four books present Christ and His Church, when He walked the earth, just as Orion and the 7 Stars represent Christ and His Church, as seen up in the heavens.

.

Then, once you are comfortable finding these two constellations, you can begin to locate the next closest constellations, and so on.

ANOTHER HEAVENLY HOBBY: PRAYER-WALKS

.

Now if you’re fortunate enough to be able to go on nightly walks, and you live in an area where you can safely view the stars, here is another Heavenly Hobby which Signs Of Heaven endorses…

.

Why not combine star-watching with prayer, as you walk? What a great way to draw closer to God!

.

It cannot be over-stressed, just how wonderful it is to walk under the dark canopy of Heaven, while lifting up one’s heart to our Heavenly Father! There is a closeness to God that cannot be described with words!

.

(And even if you cannot safely do this, you can always do such prayer-walks in the daytime, in a safe place, such as a mall, which is every bit as effective, prayer-wise.

.

And for those who are in confinement, one can view these starry signs on the Internet, or simply listen to Scripture on audio.

.

Either way, all such may enjoy God’s richest blessings at this very time in which God is pouring out all Heaven’s treasures upon anyone willing to forsake all, and follow Jesus!)

THRICE-DAILY PRAYERS

.

Now of course, the Bible commands us to, “pray without ceasing“. The Christian is to constantly talk with our Heavenly Father throughout the day.

.

But the Bible also holds up the godly life of Daniel, who, when captive in Babylon, still set aside three times daily, in which he knelt for special prayer.

.

And furthermore the Bible also says… “Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and He shall hear my voice.” Psalm 55:17.

.

Even those who are bed-fast or in a prison cell can begin to imitate Daniel in this way. And if one is fortunate to be able to walk, then this thrice-daily prayer regimen can be combined with three walks daily and even nightly.
