PART 4…SIGNS IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

About the same time (mid-80’s) that I was first seeing these heavenly signs in the stars, there also began to appear signs in the solar system.

.

At this point in time, I did not see this as fulfillment of what God says in Luke…“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars;” Luke 21:25

.

On the other hand, I had no problem believing that God had purposely created the solar system to teach us spiritual truth. But there were still a lot of signs in the stars, which I had not yet been shown. So I really didn’t think too much about all this.

.

Nevertheless, “the heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament shows His handiwork”. (see Psalm 19:1). The starry host is God’s handiwork.  

.

And the signs in the Sun, Moon, and stars were placed by God long ago, to present a message in these last days just prior to the end. This message is very Biblical.

.

And it is a very pertinent message, in these confusing times: confusion both in the world, and also in God’s house.

13 CLUES TO PROVE

OUR SOLAR SYSTEM SYMBOLIZES

THE 10 COMMANDMENTS

.

.

.

.

.

At about this same time period (mid-80’s), it became noticeable of a correlation between the solar system and the Law of God, as presented in what the Bible calls the Ten Commandments.

.

Now this relationship between our solar system and the 10 Commandments has not yet been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt.

.

But there is overwhelming evidence that suggests such a relationship exists.

.

.

.

CLUE #1–10 HEAVENLY BODIES = 10 COMMANDMENTS?

.

The first great clue is that there are 10 members of our solar system, the Sun being the 1st heavenly member.

.

The 9 revolving orbs around the Sun seem to give us a picture of the 10 Commandments.

.

Now there are many lately, who say there are only eight major planets revolving around the Sun. They say that Pluto is too small, and should not be considered as one of the major planets.

.

But Pluto is only somewhat less in size than Mercury, and there’s no discussion about Mercury being taken off the list. And Pluto has moons, too: five moons, we are told.

.

It’s just that Pluto is not so close to the Sun, as is Mercury; otherwise there would be no debate about Pluto’s inclusion. So also, the 10th Commandment is the farthest Commandment away from the 1st Commandment.

.

But later in this article, it will be shown that the 10th Commandment may just be one of the closest Commandments to the 1st Commandment. But how is that possible? Well you’ll just have to read on to find out.

1st ORB: THE SUN = 1ST COMMANDMENT

.

“Thou shall have no other gods before Me”

.

.

.

.

.

.

CLUE #2– Pagan gods assigned to planets by Mankind

.

One great clue was, that if the Sun would correspond to the First Commandment, “You shall have no other gods before Me”, I began to wonder at the names which Mankind has given to the planets, all named after pagan gods: Saturn, Mars, Jupiter, etc… are all names of ancient pagan deities.

.

I then began to relate the Sun corresponding to the first Commandment… “You shall have no other gods before Me”, which just so happens to be surrounded by planets named after pagan gods.

.

It would seem that God has allowed Mankind (under the influence of “the god of this world“, of course) to name these planets after pagan gods, in order to make a very poignant statement: that statement being, that we citizens of this planet are in rebellion against God, therefore, we have other gods.

.

And just as those planets (named after pagan gods) encircle the Sun (The Sun representing God many times in the Bible), so too this human race has placed our affections on other things: our time, energy, and affections, which should have been only given to our Creator/Savior.

.

So God has set up this solar system to present this concept of the Sun (Christ) being surrounded by our many other gods (i.e., the 9 planets, named after pagan gods).

CLUE #3–BIBLE COMPARES CHRIST TO SUN

.

“For the LORD God is a sun and shield:” Psalm 84:11 

.

The Bible compares the Sun to God…“For, behold, the day comes, that shall burn as an oven…But unto you that fear my name shall the SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS arise with healing in His wings…Remember ye the law of Moses My servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.” Malachi 4:1-4.  

.

.

Notice that this passage not only compares the Sun to Christ, but also brings up the Ten Commandments as well! So here God is making  a reference, not only to Christ as the Sun, but to the Law of Moses.

.

Here in this above passage, is a veiled reference to, not only the Sun, but also to the Ten Commandments.

.

CHRIST IS THE DAYSTAR WHICH WILL ARISE IN OUR HEART

.    

On this same subject of Christ being represented by the Sun, is another similar passage,  “We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the DAY STAR arise in your hearts…” 2nd Peter 1:19 

.

This verse refers to Christ as the “Day Star”.

.

There is one star that shines in daytime: the Sun. But God makes the reference here to the day-star in our hearts: Christ in our hearts.

.

If you take this passage and the previous passage, you begin to comprehend just what God is saying regarding the “Sun of Righteousness” rising. He is speaking of the “Day-Star” arising in our hearts, as 2nd Peter tells us here! And why should it be such a surprise that the Day Star will arise in our hearts?

.

Just listen to Jesus… “He (Jesus) answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:  Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you…” Luke 17:20, 21.

.

So now it begins to be seen that when God compares Himself to the Sun, He is speaking in relation to that Day-Star which shall arise in our hearts. 

.

And with Christ, that Day-Star, dwelling in our hearts, we would then have the Kingdom of God within, thus fulfilling the passage… “for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you…” 

.

For more on this subject of the Day-Star, go to… “Castor and Pollux (Part 2: The Return of Christ & The Dawning of the Day)”

CLUE #4–SUN’S BRIGHTNESS = GOD’S BRIGHTNESS

.

When God spoke with Moses, He told Moses that His brightness, no man could look upon and live.

.

The Sun, which people cannot look directly at, fitly represents God in this respect, too. “And He said, Thou canst not see My face: for there shall no man see Me, and live.” Exodus 33:20.

.

So now it begins to come to light, that the Sun’s brightness is a picture of God’s brightness.

.

Here is another verse, which compares the Lord to the Sun… “Arise, shine; for THY LIGHT IS COME, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and His glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to THY LIGHT, and kings to the BRIGHTNESS OF THY RISING.” Isaiah 60:1-3. 

.

In this verse, God is over and over again comparing Himself in various ways to the very bright rising Sun.

.

And the darkness spoken of here is that spiritual darkness which pervades this sin-darkened world, as well as the sin-darkened hearts of unconverted men. 

.

CLUE #5–SUN’S SIZE COMPARES TO OUR GREAT GOD 

.

Another comparison to God and the Sun is how great in size is the Sun to the other planets.

.

For instance, you could fit a million Planet Earths inside the Sun! Of course, God is infinite in size. Nevertheless, the Sun gives perspective about God’s vastness!

.

Listen to Scripture… “But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and Heaven of heavens cannot contain Thee; how much less this house that I have builded?” 1st kings 8:27 .

.

This verse only confirms what is already known…that God is measureless and colossal beyond anything that can be comprehended.

.

.

.

SUN: A FIRM FOUNDATION FOR THIS THEORY…

.

So God, who is the essence of the Law is fitly represented in Scripture, by the Sun of our solar system.

.

This makes a very firm foundation in which to build a case for the other planets representing the other 9 commandments.

.

For a closer look at the question, “Does the Sun represent Christ?”, just click the following link, “Signs In The Sun”

2ND ORB: MERCURY = 2ND COMMANDMENT

.

“Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image,

or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above,

or that is in the earth beneath,

or that is in the water under the earth:

Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them:” 

Exodus 20:5

.

.

.

.

.

.

CLUE #6–MERCURY…THE SUN’S LITTLE BUDDY

.

.

As discussed elsewhere in this website, the Sun seems to correspond to the First Commandment.

.

Likewise, Mercury, which is the second heavenly sphere in our solar system, seems to correspond very nicely to the Second Commandment. Both the second heavenly sphere (Mercury) and the Second Commandment (no images) are closest to the ‘Sun’.

.

That is to say, just as planet Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, so is the Second Commandment right next to the First Commandment (as already stated, God compares himself to the Sun many times in Scripture).

.

Space photos on this page courtesy NASA, and are public domain.

.

.

.

.

.

WHY THE NUMBER, “2”?

.

And God put the commandment about images as the second Commandment for a very important reason.

.

Jesus says to us today, “I am the light of the world: he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. John 8:12.

.

And as Jesus speaks of following Him, it is seen that this number “two’ relates to “me and Jesus”. This is the great lesson to be learned by the number “two”. As the Christian meditates upon the Bible, through his or her day, there is an imperceptible merging of two hearts: the heart of God with the heart of the Believer. This is the essence of the 2nd Commandment. And though that commandment is written in the negative tense (“Thou shalt not…”), this merging of God and the Believer would be the implied positive sense of that commandment. 

.

In other words, if the 2nd Commandment states “Thou shalt have no other gods before Me”, then the implied positive message of this command is, “You shall have Me (Christ) as your closest companion”, which Mercury, the closest companion to the Sun seems to agree.

.

MERCURY: “EVIL COMMUNICATIONS CORRUPTS”

.

THE DANGER OF EVIL ASSOCIATIONS

.

“Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean [thing]; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be My sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.” 2nd Corinthians 6:17, 18 

.

But this concept of the number “two” has a negative side to it as well. After all, the second Commandment (not making & bowing to graven images) is written in the negative sense, i.e., “Thou shalt not…”.

.

The above passage by Paul warns Christians that bad associations have a corrupting influence. Whoever we keep company with, has an influence on our own behavior. We begin to grow into the image of those with whom we constantly associate.

.

Just listen… “He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.”  Prov. 13:20. So the number “2” speaks of this very concept. We can be the companion of the wise, or we can be the companions of fools.

.

And because the  commandment regarding “images” is the 2nd Commandment, there is a need to explore this concept much more thoroughly.

.

.

.

.

.

.

“EVIL COMMUNICATIONS CORRUPTS…”

1st Corinthians 15:33

.

Listen… “Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” Amos 3:3.

.

Here we see that God is really bringing out this concept of the number “2”. 

.

Christians need to be really careful about our associations. As the old saying goes, “Tell me who your friends are, and I will tell you who you are”.

.

.

What attributes rule the heart of a man.

3RD ORB: VENUS = 3RD COMMANDMENT

.

“Thou shalt not take the name

of the LORD thy God in vain;

for the LORD will not hold him guiltless

that taketh His name in vain.”

Exodus 20:7

.

.

.

.

.

.

CLUE #7–Jesus, The Bright and Morning Star

.

“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am…the bright and morning star.” Revelation 22:16.

.

It is Venus, the 3rd sphere in our solar system, which is commonly known as the Morning Star.

.

Like a big beautiful diamond, it graces the pre-dawn sky (And the evening sky too!)

.

A case could be made for the above verse, Jesus calling Himself, “The bright and Morning Star” to be referring to either Venus, or even perhaps the Sun.

.

But since this article has already established that the Sun represents Christ, it should be explored for a moment the possibility that this verse refers to Venus, as “the bright and Morning Star”.

3RD ORB: VENUS = 3RD COMMANDMENT

.

GOD’S NAME DEFINED BY HIS QUALITIES

.

“Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain.” Exodus 20:7. So what does this third Commandment have to do with Jesus? And why would Jesus single out this planet to represent Himself?

.

God’s name means so much more than just a word. God’s name is truly defined by His attributes. Just listen to Scripture… “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given…and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”  Isaiah 9:6.

.

So we see here that God is defining His name by His qualities.

3RD ORB: VENUS = 3RD COMMANDMENT & JESUS ON THE SHORE IN THE MORNING

John 21

.

In the letters to the 7 Churches of Asia, Jesus promises to anyone of Thyatira who remains faithful… “And I will give him the morning star.” Revelation 2:28.

.

Just as the Morning Star appears after the long dark night, so too, Jesus will shine on the morning after the long night of woe and tribulation which Believers must endure.

.

JESUS, THE MORNING STAR, APPEARS TO DISCIPLES

.

This concept seems to be illustrated in the Book of John when the disciples saw Jesus waiting alone for them on the shore after His resurrection.

.

The disciples had just been through the horrible experience of Jesus’ trial, scourging, and crucifixion. All of them had abandoned Jesus. Peter had even denied knowing Him. But now they needed healing. Now they needed the loving, healing touch of Jesus. “But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.” John 21:4.

.

There were 7 disciples including Peter, James, and John. Judas of course, was not there. The dark night had passed. It was now morning. Jesus was waiting on the other shore for these 7 faithful ones. Jesus was preparing food for them.

.

He was about to restore Peter, who had played the fool before the angry and accusing mob.

.

.

.

.

.

WE TOO ARE LIKE PETER

.

And these 7 faithful disciples are perhaps, a picture of all of us who endure our own long night of woe and doubt.

.

Many of us will have likewise denied Jesus, as did Peter, as we mingle with unbelievers, as did Peter.

.

But like Peter, we will have thoroughly repented and become converted. Jesus, the bright and Morning Star, will likewise be waiting on the other shore for us, too.

.

He will have a wonderful supper prepared for us as well. (So maybe that 8th disciple in this picture, which you can’t see his or her face, represents you!)

3RD ORB: VENUS = 3RD COMMANDMENT

.

JUDAS TOOK THE LORD’S NAME IN VAIN

.

So what does all this have to do with the 3rd Commandment?

.

Simple. Judas had taken God’s name in vain. No, Judas didn’t use God’s name as a curse word. But the old English word, vain, or vanity, simply means “meaningless”. And Judas professed to be a follower of Jesus.

.

But Judas loved this present world. He didn’t really want to follow Jesus with all his heart and soul. And so his pretense of being a Christian was a false profession, making Judas guilty of taking the name of the Lord in vain.

.

Just listen…“Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me: Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.” Proverbs 30:8, 9.

.

So here is seen that taking the Lord’s name in vain is much more than merely cursing. And Judas was a thief.

.

And all those who rob God by seeking after the things of this world are in the same camp with Judas; thieves who are taking the name of the Lord in vain.

.

The-Last-Supper-large WIKIPEDIA US public domain.

.

.

.

.

.

WORLDLY-MINDED WILL NOT BE THERE

.

So just as Judas was absent from that encounter with Jesus on the other shore, so too, all who love this present world will not taste of the Lord’s supper, which is prepared for all those who love God supremely.

.

The faithful ones will have overcome this world, and will receive the “Morning Star” …

.

Just listen… “And he that overcometh, and keepeth My works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations…And I will give him the Morning Star. ” Revelation 2:26.

.

All who receive the Morning Star will NOT have taken the Lord’s name in vain.

4TH ORB: EARTH = 4TH COMMANDMENT

.

“Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.” 

Exodus 20:8

.

.

.

.

.

.

CLUE #8–4th planet=4th Commandment…

.

As I was contemplating this seeming correspondence (and it’s only a theory) between the solar system and the Ten Commandments, I was amazed to realize that our planet…planet Earth corresponds to the 4th commandment, regarding the 7th Day Rest.  

.

This realization seemed to further the weight of evidence in favor of this theory that God purposely created the solar system to make this beautiful analogy, written in the heavens. After all, Earth is the planet that God has created to correspond to the commandment which is all about peace and rest (rest unto your soul. see Matthew 11:28-30). And the fact is, nothing could be further from the truth, when one considers the horrific crimes that occur on a daily basis here on planet Earth.

.

Nevertheless, Earth stands as a monument to the Fourth Commandment of “rest”. And no doubt, God, who knows all things, made it that way as a standing rebuke (actually an ORBITING rebuke) to Mankind’s rebellion and lawlessness.

SIGNS IN HEAVEN: A HEAVENLY HOBBY!

.

As I have already mentioned in Part 2, I was taking regular walks each day.

.

And as I said, walking and praying really go well together. And couple this with star-gazing, and it really makes a great combination. 

.

The point to all this is: these Signs In Heaven, given to us by God, have real meaning.

.

Oh yes, in order to locate some of them takes a lot of effort.

A MEANINGFUL HOBBY

.

But why not make these Signs Of Heaven into a heavenly hobby? 

.

It costs absolutely nothing! It only requires two good legs (or a wheelchair), and two good eyes (or glasses). There’s no licenses to buy, and no expenses, except perhaps gasoline, if you have to get away from city lights. It can make a great addition to any camping trip. It’s a great witnessing tool! And it pays off in spiritual rewards, once you do begin to find them!

.

And it is a real faith-builder when you realize that this entire universe was strategically placed in the exact order to give us these signs!

.

And once you do discover what an awesome message from the Lord, this really is, you will know for a certainty, that your time invested was more than well-spent.

.

Just something to think about.

.

5TH ORB: MARS = 5TH COMMANDMENT

.

“Honour thy father and thy mother:

that thy days may be long upon the land

which the LORD thy God giveth thee.”

Exodus 20:12

.

.

.

.

.

.

CLUE #9–THE RED PLANET & ONE BLOOD OF GOD’S FAMILY

.

“And (God) hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;” Acts 17:26

.

This above verse reveals that God has made “of one blood all nations of men.”

.

This commandment is all about family. Mentioned here is “thy father and mother”. Being the 5th Commandment, the number “5” represents family. So often in Scripture, the number five is used in connection with either God’s children, or…the Devil’s children. Remember the parable of the Five Wise & The Five Foolish Virgins?

.

This is what the number “5” is all about in Scripture.

.

Mars atmosphere – NASA – Wikipedia – public domain

.

.

.

.

.

WE ARE ALL OF ONE BLOOD

.

The reddish color of Mars reminds us of blood. And blood likewise reminds us of “family”.

.

Listen to Scripture… “And (God) hath made of one blood all nations of men.”  Acts 17:26.

.

So it would appear that God has created this 5th sphere to be a picture of family. And of course, the 5th Commandment is all about family. Listen to Jesus speaking of the number “five”… “For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.” Luke 12:52, 53.

.

Here Jesus provides further confirmation of this number “five” being the chosen number to represent “family”.

.

And there are further confirmations, as well.

CLUE #10–ENORMOUS SIZE OF THESE TWO PLANETS

.

 

Here is another clue.

.

Aside from the enormous size of the Sun, the other two enormous planets are the 6th and 7th planets.

.

This too would seem fitting. Just think how heinous are those two commandments… “You shall not kill”, and “You shall not commit adultery.”

.

The enormous size of these two planets compared to the other 7 planets, tells how much God hates those crimes.

.

CLUE #11–RINGS OF SATURN…

.  

…As far as the Sun and planets compared to the 10 commandments, there is one more big clue.

.

The 7th commandment is, “You shall not commit adultery.”

.

If you will look at Saturn, (which would correspond to the 7th commandment), you will notice the ring around that planet.

.

Here are Bible verses concerned with rings…    

.

RING=GOD’S HANDS… “His hands are as gold rings set with the beryl…This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.” Songs 5:14

*********************    

 

RING=COUPLING… “And they shall be coupled together beneath, and they shall be coupled together above the head of it unto one ring.” Exodus 26:2

********************

*     

RING=KINGLY COVENANT… “…and sealed with the king’s ring.” Esther 3:12

*********************    

RING=KINGLY FAVOR… “And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai.” Esther 8:

*********************     

RING=UNBRAKEABLE LAW… “Write ye also for the Jews, as it liketh you, in the king’s name, and seal it with the king’s ring: for the writing which is written in the king’s name, and sealed with the king’s ring, may no man reverse. ” Esther 8:8

*********************    

RING=FAVOR… “But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: ”  Luke 15:22

.

.

.

.

.

RINGS OF SATURN: CONCLUSION:

.

RING = UNBREAKABLE COVENANT

.          

Rings were used in the temple service to couple things together.

.

Rings were also used by kings to be the seal of unbreakable laws.

.

By putting these verses together, it would seem that a ring would symbolize a coupling together, in a favorable relationship, such as a covenant…an irreversible covenant…one blessed by the King. Does this sound like a marriage covenant?

.      

And so it would appear that the ring is a fitting symbol of marital fidelity.

.

And so the 7th commandment (You shall not commit adultery) seems to align with the 7th member of our solar system.  The ring speaks of the marriage covenant.

.

It speaks of marital fidelity.

.

It also speaks of fidelity to the King.

8TH & 9TH ORB: URANUS & NEPTUNE 

.

AND THE 8TH & 9TH COMMANDMENTS

.

8TH Commandment– 

“Thou shalt not steal.”

Exodus 20:15

.

9TH Commandment– 

“Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.”

Exodus 20:16

.

.

.

.

.

.

CLUE #12– Enormous size of these twin planets and the enormous sins of lying and stealing

. 

Here again, these two planets are enormous compared to the other planets, making Planet Earth look like a dwarf planet.

.

And again, the sins of lying and stealing are enormous sins. Howbeit, not as enormous as the 6th & 7th planets. Lying and Stealing are not quite as enormous as Murder and Adultery. So here again, the size of these two planets is only further proof that indeed the solar system seems to correspond to the 10 Commandments.

.

In other words, the great size of these four mega-planets, the 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th, seems to correspond to the enormity of each of those sins.

10TH ORB: PLUTO = 10th COMMANDMENT

.

“Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house,

thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife,

nor his manservant, nor his maidservant,

nor his ox, nor his ass,

nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.”

Exodus 20:17

PLUTO–WALLFLOWER OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM

.

There is a contention among astronomers concerning whether Pluto, the 10th member of our solar system, should be grouped with the other 8 planets, or if it’s too small to be considered among the other major planets.

.

But Pluto is only somewhat smaller than Mercury, and Pluto does have 5 moons. In other words, it’s not just some irregular-shaped chunk of rock.

.

THE MINOR PLANETS

.

There are a few minor orbs which have been discovered.

.

One of these, Eris, is slightly smaller than Pluto, and has been considered by many astronomers, as reason enough to reconsider Pluto being numbered with the other major planets. Well, there is a disagreement between astronomers as to whether there are 8 or 9 major planets.

.

The answer to this can possibly be found in the 10th Commandment… “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.” Exodus 20:17.  

.

This commandment is about coveting objects that do not belong to you. Lucifer coveted God’s house. Lucifer coveted God’s Heaven, and those who dwelt in God’s universe. Lucifer wanted to be like God. He ultimately wanted to rule the universe.

.

And so, maybe these dwarf planets together symbolize the many objects which this 10th Commandment is warning against coveting. Maybe these dwarf planets, together represent God’s house, which Lucifer coveted.

.

Just a theory.

.

Well, these dwarf planets are a puzzlement to this theory concerning our solar system being compared to the 10 Commandments. But that is why this is only a theory.

CANNOT SEE ALL THE PLANETS

.

One great problem with our solar-system, is that we cannot see all the evidence with our eyes.

.

And so, we must take the word of astronomers, which may or may not be reliable. In contrast, the signs in the stars (and Moon and Sun) can be seen with our eyes. And so, for instance, the Constellation Orion plainly appears as a soldier.

.

And so, we can be confident about Orion appearing as a soldier.

.

So here is the problem with much of the solar-system, because we simply have to take the word of others on these matters.

CLUE #13–10 COMMANDMENTS SEEM TO BE SPHERICAL

.

As I stood back and gazed at the 10 Commandments, I saw something very interesting.

.

This 10th planet corresponds to the commandment which forbids coveting. Coveting is idolatry.

.

Just listen to this… “Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication…covetousness, which is idolatry:”  Colossians 3:5.

.

Here God says that covetousness is idolatry.

.

And as we all know, idols are gods. Idols can be anything a person places an inordinate amount of affection upon. Gods can be anything: cars, houses, sports, careers, children, spouses, money, amusements, exotic places, respectability, music, leisure, work, orthodoxy, etc., etc… You name it, whatever it is, it can become our god, if we let it be.

.

But the point to this is just this: The 10th Commandment and the 1st Commandment (“Thou shall have no other gods before ME.”) are so similar that they are essentially connected. They both forbid having other gods.

.

And being connected as these two commandments are, it begins to appear as if the 10 Commandments are circular, or perhaps spherical.

.

So here is a clue that has been overlooked. Perhaps the greatest clue in this theory about the solar system and the 10 Commandments.

.

Because like our solar system is a system of spheres making spherical orbits, so too, the 10 Commandments now appear to likewise be spherical in nature.

SIGNS IN THE MOON c.1988…

.

At some point in time (around 1988), it began to appear that there was a human face etched the moon, via the craters. (This can only be seen when the moon is full). There was no trouble accepting this, since God is God. He’s infinite. If God wishes to bombard the Moon with meteors, in order to make a statement, why is that such an impossible idea? As I would walk down the streets at night, I would often stop…and turn my head sideways, so to get a look at these other faces. I didn’t know exactly what this all meant.

.

But it was noticeable also, if you tilt your head left or right, you can see two other faces. And while the first face is that of a man, these two other faces were each a combination of  a man/beast.

.

TWO/THIRDS = .666

.

So it began to appear that the moon is a picture of the three divisions of God’s house. Two-thirds (or .666) are that of a man/beast combination, and one-third is that of a man. This goes along with the Beast of Revelation 13 as well as the “Mark of the Beast” announcement of Revelation 14.

.

.

Now this is a very complicated subject, and by clicking on the following link, you can get a more complete study on this subject.

“MOON SHALL NOT GIVE HER LIGHT”…Matthew 24…

.

At some point in time, the Moon, Earth, and Sun began to appear as a “heavenly parable”. That is to say, if the Moon is a picture of God’s house, and the Sun is a picture of Christ. Then the Moon reflects the light of the Sun, giving a picture of how a Christian is to reflect the light of Jesus (the ‘Sun of Righteousness’ (Malachi 4) ) to a sin-darkened world.

. 

But it also became apparent that when the world comes between the Sun and Moon, there occurs an eclipse. The Moon stops reflecting the light from the Sun. So this connection began to become evident. The Christian must not let the world eclipse our view of Christ, the “sun of righteousness”. You can explore this concept by reading the following article… “Lunar Eclipse & Spiritual Eclipse”

CONCLUSION…

.

So this concludes Part 4, a thumbnail account of the timeline and story of how and when God revealed these heavenly signs. New information seems to be continuing to be revealed. The Sun, the Moon, the Stars, and the constellations herein give a wonderful picture of the Gospel, and a poetic narrative of the infinite love of God for a planet in rebellion. May God grant you grace and peace and confirmation as you explore further into this heavenly story, of the Signs In Heaven.

SHOULD THEORIES BE TAUGHT IN THE CLASSROOM?   

.

Just imagine if these things were taught to school children today. The heavens would be an object lesson to our young ones. Little Johnny would look up at the Sun and think…

.

“What an awesome, holy God we have! Like the bright Sun, our God is too brilliant to fully comprehend! And just look how enormous the Sun is, compared to the Earth. God is a big God!” 

. 

Just imagine our school children beholding the enormous size of the 6th and 7th heavenly bodies (Jupiter & Saturn) , and thinking… “If those two planets equal the 6th and 7th Commandments, then it must be real serious to violate them. Real serious.”    

.   

And just imagine if they were taught to relate our planet to the 4th Commandment. By looking at this selfish, troubled world, they could realize the turmoil and unhappiness that results from leaving the rest that we were supposed to enjoy with our Creator.

.

Little Johnny would think… “What did we (the world) give up, in order to please our own selves? Now we have wars, famines, sickness, death, etc, etc.”

.

If we can teach the theory of evolution to our kids “without batting an eye”, why would this theory be such a bad thing to teach our kids? After all, to realize that there is a big, big, God up there, just might solve some big, big, problems down here!

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 the person 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.
