“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars;
.
and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
.
Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth:
.
for the powers of Heaven shall be shaken.
.
And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
.
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”

THE LOVE OF GOD
.
STRETCHED FROM SKY TO SKY
.
.
This thumbnail overview of Signs Of Heaven is a short explanation of these constellations and how they work together to tell this marvelous Gospel Story. (This article takes about an hour to read). While they basically tell the Gospel as found in Revelation Chapter 12, these “heavenly pictures” have nuances which come from passages found in many other places in Scripture.

GOD’S AMAZING SIGNATURE ON CREATION…
.
This is the story found in the Heavens, as is written… “There shall be signs, in the Sun, and…Moon, and…Stars” Luke 21:25.
.
These are the signs, written by God Himself, in the heavens, long, long ago…
.
And what makes this incredible phenomenon even more incredible, is that these constellations interact with each other as they present an unfolding story while moving through the night skies! An orderly, well constructed story, which unfolds through the four seasons; a heavenly motion picture of sorts, made of the biggest and brightest stars and constellations of Heaven!
.

.
“HIS WORKS WERE FINISHED…
.
FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD”
.
So God has created this wonderful unfolding story back in the day when He created the heavens 
and Earth, as is written… “…the works (of God) were finished from the foundation of the world.” Hebrews 4:3.
.
And so, even though the Bible says that, “There shall be signs in the Sun…Moon, and…Stars” (Luke 21:25), nevertheless, these are also the works of God which were finished from the foundation of the world.
.
But it wasn’t until our day, that God has chosen to reveal them to us.
.
So once again, God has fulfilled Bible prophecy in a way we were not expecting.
.

.
ONLY PICTURE STORY IN NATURE
.
This is truly Heaven’s Divine Signature on Creation. Nowhere else in nature has God placed such an amazing picture-story about His Salvation Plan.
.
But why should it surprise us that the heavens tell us this story? After all, Scripture reveals to us… “The heavens declare the glory of God…night unto night showeth knowledge.” Psalm 19:1, 2
.
And God has even mentioned these primary constellations specifically in Scripture: Orion, the 7 Stars, the Revelation 12 Dragon and the Revelation 12 Woman, and many more.
.
And He is just now revealing this heavenly-nightly-show to us.

.
JUST A BUNCH OF OBSCURE STARS?
.
These signs are not made up from just a lot of obscure stars. Anybody could make a constellation using a bunch of obscure and random stars!
.
But these signs were created by God in the day that He created the heavens. These signs are made of the biggest and brightest constellations in Heaven: Orion, Pleiades, Scorpio, The Big Dipper, Ursa Major, Auriga, Sagittarius, Corona Borealis, plus others which are a combination of the great constellations.
.
And the Bible makes mention of these. God speaks of Orion, Pleiades, and the 7 Stars. He reveals two signs in the Book of Revelation: a woman with child, and a dragon. He speaks of the Ark of the Covenant in Revelation 11, and a horse in several places in Revelation.
.

.
MIS-INTERPRETING THE SIGNS
.
The point is, these signs are not the mere imagination of humans. But the big problem was, that humans just did not look at these great signs correctly, as God intended.
.
Instead of seeing Orion as a soldier, they only saw it as a hunter. Instead of seeing Ursa Major as a woman with child they merely saw it as a bear.
.
Instead of seeing Scorpio as the Flower of the Field Constellation, they only saw it as a scorpion.
.
Instead of seeing Sagittarius as the Ark of the Covenant, they saw it as a centaur.

BABYLONIAN CONFUSION
.
So this website begins to unravel the confusion of these mistaken identities by the ancient Babylonian astronomers, and shows them as God intended them to be seen. Then once the reader begins to see them correctly, he or she can also begin to understand the great biblical concepts which they portray. And this is why God is just now revealing these signs. Because there is a great message behind these signs, which will prepare the Reader for what is about to come upon the Earth.
.
Why did God create these signs? And how do these signs work? And if they are signs from God, just what is God trying to tell us?
.
Well, these are the questions which one must ask. And Signs Of Heaven will hopefully provide the answers.
.

.
SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE
.
Unfortunately, this heavenly love-story has been created to be seen in the northern hemisphere. Oh yes, most of these constellations can be seen in the southern hemisphere too. But God has, for His own reasons created these signs to work better in the northern hemisphere. Perhaps this verse helps us understand why God did it this way.
.
Listen… “For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.” Psalm 75:6.
.
Notice that this verse says, “For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.” Notice that it fails to mention “north” in this verse. So the obvious inference is that promotion does indeed come from the north, symbolizing Heaven. Now this truth is substantiated by this next verse… “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 48:2. So these Signs Of Heaven are in agreement with this concept of north symbolizing Heaven.
.
And isn’t it wonderful, that we now have the ability to look on the Internet, and still enjoy these signs, too! And there are many who cannot, for one reason or another, get out to see the Heavens. And some, may not even be able to see them on the Internet. But these can still enjoy the biblical concepts behind these signs. And actually, that is by far, the most important aspect of this website: what does the Bible have to say about all this or that? And so, Bible truth is what we are really after!

SUMMER CONSTELLATIONS
.
.
.
.
.
.
5 CONSTELLATIONS PLUS THE STAR, ARCTURUS…
.
The Summer Constellations tell the story of Jesus as He calls His Disciples to, “Come and follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” These heavenly symbols also present the principles of God’s Salvation plan. The Summer Constellations are made of five different constellations plus the star known as Arcturus (click here to read) . This big, bright, and beautiful star, Arcturus (representing Jesus) goes in front of these five constellations, as though He is leading His Disciples, just as He did back in Israel, 2,000 years ago.
.
From left to right, you may click on the following titles to read more about each…
1. the first constellation is the Ark of the Covenant Constellation (AKA Sagittarius).
2. The second is the Cross/Scepter Constellation (not previously recognized)
3. Under the Cross/Scepter is the Flower of the Field Constellation (AKA Scorpio).
4. The fourth is the Glorious Crown Constellation (AKA Corona Borealis).
5. The fifth is the 7 Stars Constellation (AKA the Big Dipper).
.
These are the basic five constellations that make this Summer Constellation phenomenon.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
DOUBLE-ENTENDRES
.
But if this is not already complicated enough, there are even more complicated aspects to this. In this sketch, if you look on the far left, you will notice that the Ark of the Covenant Constellation now appears as Two Turtle-doves.
.
And at the top right, you will notice that the 7 Stars Constellation now appears as the Revelation 12 Woman With Child (Actually, this Woman is made of the Big Dipper, plus the addition of more fainter stars, which together comprise what is commonly known as Ursa Major). So these two constellations are each double-entendres.
.
So with the addition of these two extra constellations (the Turtle-doves, and the Woman), we now have 7 Summer Constellations, plus the star, Arcturus guiding them.
.
So maybe the best way to tell this story is to take each constellation individually…

.
Arcturus must be the first participant in this heavenly story. Many have wondered whether Arcturus was the actual star, which guided the wise men from the east, unto Bethlehem.
.
The Bible certainly makes that suggestion. “Can you guide Arcturus with his sons?”, God asked Job.
.
Well if Arcturus was that very star, it would seem that God must have done something miraculous, in order to accomplish such a phenomenon. But regardless of whether or not Arcturus was that star, God is revealing Arcturus in the heavens as the “Host” of this heavenly entourage, known as “Signs in the Sun, Moon, and stars”. For brevity’s sake, they’ll be referred to as the Signs Of Heaven. This phenomenon begins in early spring, and continues on for the entire year. It is composed of both the Summer as well as the Fall and Winter Constellations. This heavenly odyssey tells the story of the Gospel. But it also tells us just what lies ahead for God’s people. And this website will prepare you “to be hidden”, so to speak, when the great Day of wrath comes upon the world; as it will come so imperceptibly, that most people won’t realize why all these things are happening.
.
.
.
.
.
ARCTURUS REPRESENTS JESUS…
.
This beautiful star, Arcturus, symbolizes Jesus. It is found by following the handle of the Seven Stars Constellation (also known as, The Big Dipper) to this very brightest of stars just beyond the handle.
.
And if you locate the other constellations in this summer group, it appears as if this star, Arcturus, is leading this heavenly procession of constellations.
.
So too, Jesus leads His children on a spiritual odyssey, even while we’re here on Earth. Just like the Twelve Disciples, we also follow Jesus (in our mind’s eye) listening to His Word…learning from our life experiences, and evangelizing the world. This star, Arcturus, is spoken of in Job… “Can you guide Arcturus with his sons?” God asks Job. And Job thought he was pretty smart until God began to question him about these eternal mysteries. But now at the end of time, God is revealing the answer to this heavenly riddle as He promised to show signs in the Sun, Moon, and stars just before the end comes. (see Luke 21:25)
.

.
FULFILLMENT NOW REVEALED
.
And it appears as if these starry host are the fulfillment of that ante-type star of Bethlehem, which guided the wise men to the First Advent. In other words, just as that single star guided those wise men of old, so too, these signs in Heaven are just now being revealed, to guide wise men today, to the Second Advent of our Lord Jesus.
.
But this last-day sojourn will be a spiritual journey, and not a physical, literal journey. So no one need be left out. These will guide us into the heavens right from where we are: at home, or in confinement, or from our wheelchair, or hospital bed: wherever we happen to be. This is because we will be on a ship which is powered by the Holy Spirit; and our journey takes place in our own heart. And God’s Word, the Bible, will be our compass and our star-chart to guide us onward and upward, into the very heavens and into the very highways and byways of eternity!
.
So this star, Arcturus, leads out this heavenly entourage in a northwest direction.

This is probably the best time to introduce this Flower of the Field Constellation. This is actually where the story written in the sky begins. It all starts with lost Mankind; fallen humanity; a planet in rebellion against Heaven. And just like the flower of the field, so too, Mankind has only its fading glory to hold on to.
.
“As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.” Psalm 103:15, 16.
.
For a little while in the Sun, does Mankind rejoice in its beauty and talents. And for a little while, the pleasures of sin and selfishness are sweet to the taste and lovely to behold. But eventually, the heat and the winds and time itself, begin to cause that flower of the field to wither, and eventually fall away and die.
.
EVERY FLOWER SHALL BOW
.
And so, this constellation in the sky presents this concept of the fading flower; the concept that Mankind’s beauty and glory is like the little flower of the field. But one incredible aspect of this phenomenon is that as summer draws to a close, this Flower of the Field Constellation (aka Scorpio) appears to bow itself completely down…in the direction Arcturus is traveling. This would seem to depict that wonderful Bible passage… “For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW TO ME, and every tongue shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.” Romans 14:11, 12.
.
Ultimately, every man, woman, and child who ever lived will bow at the Judgment Throne, confessing that God’s ways are the best ways; and that our selfishness was only the pathway to sin, sorrow and destruction. And so, just as this constellation appears to bow itself, so will all of Mankind bow before the Judgment Throne of God, confessing that selfishness was not the way to happiness! And by bowing every knee, there will be a universal acknowledgement that Jesus is the true way to happiness.

. 
The next step in this Salvation story would be the Temple Service, symbolized by this constellation of the Ark of the Covenant. The Temple Service was the beginning of God’s dealings with the nation of Israel. And the Ark of the Covenant was the center-piece of the Old Testament. This Ark of the Covenant Constellation (AKA Sagittarius) is located in the southern sky and moves east to west through the night. It simply looks like a long box with a single star on either end (Symbolizing the two angels which were on either side of the actual Ark of the temple service).
.
Of course, the Ark was the centerpiece of the Old Testament Sanctuary Service. It represented the mercy of God for a fallen planet in rebellion. It was where the blood of the animal sacrifices were sprinkled upon, to make atonement for the sins of God’s people. (And atonement for the entire Human Race, who are represented by that Flower of the Field.)
.
And this Ark Constellation seems to be mentioned in Revelation… “And the temple of God was opened in Heaven, and there was seen in His temple the Ark of His Testament:” Revelation 11:19.
.

THE ZODIAC CONSTELLATION NAMES
It is not the purpose of www.theheavensdeclare.net to give any validity to the Zodiac or any pagan deities. But the common names of many constellations must be given, solely for the purpose of locating them on star-charts.
.
.
.
.
.
.

.
Now, the Temple Service required a sacrifice. And so, this brings us to the Two Turtle-doves Constellation.
.
This constellation is the exact same constellation as the Ark of the Covenant Constellation (AKA Sagittarius), and is located above the southern horizon. But this Sagittarius Constellation can be seen either way: as the Ark, or as the Two Turtle-doves.
.
Two turtle-doves were among the various animals of the Old Testament sacrificial system. Turtle-doves were used for both sin offerings and also for leprosy cleansing. And so it should be no surprise that these Two Turtle-Doves are the very same constellation as the Ark of the Covenant Constellation.
.
SET FREE TO FOLLOW ARCTURUS
.
But this Two Turtle-Doves Constellation appears to be flying northwestward in the same direction as Arcturus and as His entire heavenly ambassage are traveling. And so this conveys the idea that these Two Turtle-Doves are being set free… free to follow Jesus (Arcturus). This makes perfect sense, because Jesus’ sacrifice abolished the Old Testament sacrifices. And this Two Turtle-Doves Constellation presents to us a picture of how God is going to deliver the Creation from the curse of death, as it states in Romans…
.
“Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.” Romans 8:21
.
But there is another aspect to this. You see, the Two Turtle-Doves also symbolize God’s people, who are freed from death, so that they can carry the message of God’s love to fallen humanity, symbolized by the Flower of the Field Constellation. So as you can see, these Two Turtle-Doves are flying toward the Flower of the Field (fallen and lost Humanity) with the message of peace and love and the possibility of forgiveness by God.

“I shall see Him, but not now: I shall behold Him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel…” Numbers 24:17
.
This above prophecy was ultimately pointing to Jesus, as the fulfillment. Jesus was that Star which came out of Jacob. Jesus was that scepter rising out of Israel. But this wonderful Bible prophecy also alerted the wise men of the east, that there was going to be a star to guide them on their journey to Bethlehem. So here was a dual-fulfillment of Bible prophecy.
.
But in addition to this duel-fulfillment, this prophecy has a triple application, now, at the end of time. You see, just as that star of old, guided the wise men of old to the first Advent of our Savior, so too, will that star Arcturus guide wise men today to the Second Advent of our soon-coming King.

A SCEPTER SHALL RISE
.
But along with the star of Arcturus, this prophecy speaks of a scepter rising out of Israel. And as you read this little section, you will discover that there is a scepter rising in the night sky! “and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel”
.
OK, so we have the Ark and the Two Turtle-Doves. But inside the actual Ark, along side of the 10 Commandments, and the Golden Bowl with Manna, was Aaron’s Rod which budded. Aaron’s Rod was a type of scepter; it represented Aaron’s authority to be the Priest. But the Cross/Scepter Constellation looks like, not only a scepter, but a Cross as well! This constellation is made of stars from both the Serpens Constellation and the Ophiuchus Constellation. This constellation seems to be a blending of the Old Testament and the New Testament. The scepter was a token of the king’s authority in the Old Testament.
.
But this heavenly scepter is a scepter of righteousness, since it also looks like a cross (which is the token of Christ’s authority) This Cross/Scepter appears to be flying upward out of the Ark of the Covenant Constellation and appears as if it is rising northward towards the Woman Constellation. It makes sense that this scepter-like cross is rising out of the Ark Constellation, because the actual Ark contained Aaron’s rod that budded. So this constellation is a blending of these two Bible concepts: the Cross of Christ, which is Christ’s scepter of His kingly and priestly authority. And of course, as already stated, this Cross/Scepter fulfills the prophecy… “and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel”.

.
And so, the next concept is the prize: the glorious crown! This Glorious Crown Constellation looks like a wreath at first glance. It has 7 stars, plus another star in the middle. This Glorious Crown Constellation is commonly referred to as the Corona Borealis Constellation (plus a few stars from the Bootes Constellation). This wreath reminds us of the victory wreath given to athletes who won races in the ancient cultures.
.
This was spoken of by Paul as he compared those ancient races to the race that Christians must run… “Know you all not, that they which run in a race run all, but one receives the prize? So run, that you all may obtain.” 1st Corinthians 9:24 (see also Hebrews 12:1)
.

.
.
.
.
“A CROWN OF 12 STARS UPON HER HEAD” …
.
But upon a closer examination if you have access to a very dark sky out in the country; if you watch this wreath, you will eventually see 5 more very faint stars, making a total of 12 stars, plus that single star in the middle.
.
This wreath now becomes a crown of 12 stars. This goes along with Revelation 12, which tells of a crown of 12 stars upon the head of the Virtuous Woman of Revelation 12. Just listen to Revelation… “And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman…and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:” Revelation 12:1. But this crown is not yet upon the head of the Virtuous Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation. It is just above her head, as if she has yet to attain it. Of course, the 13th star in the middle would represent Christ (Who is our true Crown of our rejoicing). OK, so we have a picture of Christ and His twelve tribes of Israel. But also we have a picture of Christ and His twelve apostles, which is a picture of His Church. So this heavenly crown is a multi-faceted concept.

.
This constellation seems to be a culmination of various portions of the book of Revelation. It is commonly referred to as The Big Dipper.
.
The number ‘seven’ is repeatedly mentioned in Revelation. And this constellation appears to be symbolic of those ‘sevens’; the 7 angels of the 7 churches from Revelation ch.’s 2 & 3; the 7 angels with 7 trumpets, ch.’s 8 & 9. But more than these, this constellation especially goes well with the 7 angels with 7 bowls filled with God’s wrath (Ch. 16). This constellation appears as if it is a giant bowl. And during the winter, this bowl begins to tip each night, as though it is pouring out its contents upon the Earth. This reminds us of how those 7 angels each pour out their individual bowl of wrath upon the Earth.
.
CROSS LIFTED UP
.
And if this is not amazing enough, here is something even more amazing! Just when this constellation looks as though it is pouring out God’s wrath upon the world, it also begins to look like a super-giant colossal uplifted Cross on a hill.
.
In other words, it seems that when God’s sons finally lift up the Cross and exalt the Cross in our own individual lives, then will God’s Church begin to, “shine as the Sun” Matthew 13:43. This world of Evil will then be destroyed by Christ’s brightness which shines out from the Believers.
.
“Then shall the righteous SHINE FORTH AS THE SUN in the kingdom of their Father. Who has ears to hear, let him hear.” Matthew 13:43.
.
But someone will say… “This is speaking of when God’s people are in the kingdom of God…in heaven.”
.
But listen to Jesus… “The kingdom of God comes 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. This verse tells of a day in which God’s Church will shine brightly. A Church with clean and white wedding garments.

And last, this constellation not only completes the Summer Constellations, but also the summer portion of this heavenly story. This is made of the 7 Stars Constellation and is also known as Ursa Major.
.
This constellation in the spring appears in the north as a headless woman who is labor pains. There is a single star in her womb. This speaks of Revelation Chapter 12 in which the virtuous woman is in labor-pains with the Christ-child. And so that single star represents the Christ-child.
.
This Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation has her left arm over her head as if she is in pain. But if you look more carefully you will notice that she, even in her pain, is actually reaching out for the Cross/Scepter Constellation (as shown to the right). This reminds us the story of Esther in which Esther reached out to grasp the king’s scepter. It’s a beautiful story about God and His bride, the Church. But is she reaching for that Cross/Scepter…or is she reaching for that Crown? Or maybe even for Arcturus! All three, no doubt! All three.

MEANING OF THE SUMMER CONSTELLATIONS…
.
So the Summer Constellations are a picture of the more pleasant aspects of the Gospel. And just as summer-time is the more pleasant season for much of the world, so too, the discipleship portion of the Gospel is the more pleasant aspect of the Christian life; Bible-study, fellowship, sitting at Jesus feet and learning of His ways. Spreading the Gospel. Most of us would like this to be the total sum and entirety of our Christian life. But just listen…
.
“Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.” Jeremiah 30:7.
.
But as this verse points out, there is another side to Christianity: Christian warfare. And this Woman of Revelation 12 will also be present in the Winter Constellations. But by then, she will be ready to do what she must, during the winter battle scene: FLEE!
.
So let’s take a look at the Winter Constellation Group…The warfare we must fight. The good fight as God calls it. It is also the race we must run. The sin we must flee from. And these sterner aspects of the Gospel are what the Winter Constellations are all about. And so let’s begin to look at these…

But wait just a minute! Before we explore the Winter Constellation group, there is a question that must be answered. A decision must be made. And right between the Summer and the Winter Constellations, is a very awesome and fearful constellation group. This constellation group can be seen best in mid summer through fall (mid-summer arises in the pre-dawn hours!). It is called the “Valley of Decision” Constellation Group. It speaks of the valley in which every person who comes into the world must walk, at one time or another in his or her life. Read this article for sure! This constellation is exactly between the ending of the Summer Constellations and the beginning of the Winter Constellations.
.
After the more pleasant summer of following Arcturus, comes the moment of truth as the saying goes. It’s decision time. It’s time to follow on with the Lord into the winter-time warfare… Christian Warfare that is. Putting on the Armor of God. Fighting the good fight. Doing hand-to-hand combat with the Devil. Fleeing from sin and Satan. Being persecuted for our beliefs. Lifting up the Cross of Christ for all the unbelieving world to witness….
.
…And possibly even dying for our faith… “When Jesus turned to His many followers, He said, ‘Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you….From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.” John 6:53, 66.
.
These verses seem to be very pertinent to this constellation group. Because just as that ‘hard saying’ of Jesus (about eating His flesh & drinking His blood), caused those “disciples” to turn back and no more follow Him, the Valley of Decision will likewise separate the Believers from the make-believers, so to speak.
.
There is a third mountain in this constellation group. It is Satan’s Destroying Mountain…Babylon! But this is a very complicated subject which needs to be studied. You can click the following link… “Mystery Babylon, O Destroying Mountain Constellation” (click here to read more in depth)

PICTURE UPPER LEFT:
THE VALLEY OF DECISION CONSTELLATION GROUP. They appear in mid-summer in the eastern skies in pre-dawn hours. These are made of Cassiopeia (mount on left), and various stars from Andromeda (valley) Pegasus (Mount of Cursing (middle mount) & Destroying Mount (right)), and Pisces (Broad Way to Hell)
PICTURE LOWER RIGHT:
ABOVE STAR-CHART FROM WIKIPEDIA, IN WHICH EDITOR OF THIS SITE SKETCHED THESE THREE MOUNTAINS: the 3 mountains which comprise the Valley of Decision Constellations (click here to read more) as seen when facing eastward. You can see a little oval-shaped object climbing up the Mount of Blessing (AKA Cassiopeia) . This oblong-shaped object is the Andromeda Galaxy.

So as long as we’re discussing decision-making, it is perhaps the best time to mention the Moon. You see, there are three faces in the Moon, etched by God Himself. These faces present, not only the condition of God’s house, but also, the condition of the Human Heart. The first face is that of a man. The other two faces are those of a scavenger and also a predator. The first face represents the True Worshipers.
.
The other two represent the two classes of Christians that existed in Jesus’ day: the Pharisees, and the Sadducees. The Pharisees were the Proud Scorners. The Sadducees were locked in by unbelief. They didn’t believe much of the Bible. While the second face representing the Pharisees, as they professed belief in the Bible, loved the sins of pride, the 3rd face (Sadducees) continually sought after the things of the world.
.
3rd FACE: UNBELIEF
.
Yes, these faithless ones (represented by this 3rd face), didn’t believe that being Christ-like could bring the joy necessary to be content. So this 3rd face is a Seeker, so to speak. Just as the little furry critters are constantly seeking after food, so too, many Christians are constantly seeking after, and nibbling of the things of the world. Now, it’s not to say that Christians do not enjoy the things of the world. But Christians are not to make the things of the world of much importance. Their chief desire is to seek the things of Heaven.
.
Do you get the point of these two beasts of the Earth? And while the Moon does not deal directly with all aspects of the Revelation 13 Antichrist Beast (7 heads, 10 horns, etc.). Nevertheless, the Moon exposes the Beast Within: the Beast within the human heart.

THE WINTER CONSTELLATIONS…
.
You may click on the following titles to read each individual article
.
The Winter Constellations are four in number. (Five if you count the Altar of Incense Constellation.)
.
1. First we see the Dragon Constellation, representing Satan and his army.
2. Next the Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation is the common connection between the Summer and Winter Constellations. She appears in them both.
3. Next is the hero of the story, Orion.
4. Next, we see the Glorious Horse, which represents God’s army.
5. Last is the Altar of Incense Constellation. It is pictured and discussed a little farther down the page.)

This is the villain! This constellation is smack-dab between Orion and his Horse.
.
This is a picture of Satan, as he is referred to as a dragon in the Bible… “And there appeared another wonder (sign) in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.” Revelation 12:3. And just like he is described in Revelation Chapter 12, there is a wave of water coming out of his mouth, flowing right into the path of the Woman of Revelation 12. The mouth of the Dragon is commonly known as Hyades. It is also known as the head of Taurus, the Bull Constellation. The very tip of the Dragon is known as the Pleiades. Take notice that this tail-tip actually looks like a tip of, say, a lion’s tail…or a dragon tail. Pretty amazing!
.
.
.
.

.
The tip of this dragon’s tail is made of The Pleiades Cluster. Now the Pleiades is the one constellation on this website which must be seen through a telescope, to see the individual stars to any great degree. But if you look close-up at the group of stars, it begins to look like a woman. As one looks closer, it begins to appear as the Harlot of Revelation Ch. 17 & 18. But the Pleiades also represents God’s people, who have been taken captive in spiritual Babylon.

Now God has done something really remarkable with this Revelation 12 Woman! By winter she is no longer in labor pains (as shown in this sketch on the left). She has given birth. And as summer turns to fall, and fall turns to winter, this constellation slowly rotates until it is completely upside down.
.
And by winter, she now appears in this upside down position as the Fleeing Revelation 12 Woman! No longer does she appear as a woman in labor. And what were her arms in summer, now become her legs. And what were her legs in summer, now become her arms! And that single star which was the Christ-child in her womb, now in winter becomes her head, reminding us of the verse… “And He (Christ) is the head of the body, the church:” Colossians 1:18
.
DRAGON SPEWS WATER
.
So now in winter this Fleeing Woman appears to be running furiously. And who wouldn’t? She is fleeing from the Dragon, who is spewing water out of his mouth in order to destroy this Woman. “And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.” Rev. 12:15.
.
So too, Satan floods this world and even the church-world with false doctrines in order to destroy God’s Elect. But as winter progresses, she leans forward until it looks as if she is flying. Of course this is spoken of in Revelation, Chapter 12, which states… “And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness,” Revelation 12:14
.
DOUBLE-ENTENDRE: CASTING SEED & INCENSE RISING
.
.
This Woman of Revelation 12 also appears to be casting seed, coming from her left hand and left foot. This reminds us of various passages such as Psalms 126:6… “He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.” But why the left hand and foot? Read this article, (“Woman of Revelation 12 Flees“).
.
INCENSE RISING… But as the season progresses, it become apparent that this Gospel seed is actually incense. This incense appears to be coming from an Altar: the Altar Constellation! This speaks of Sacrifice.
.
But this also speaks of fragrant incense rising up to God…for ever and ever! But read this particular article too… (“The Woman & Altar“)!

Now every great story has a hero, and this heavenly story is no exception. You see, that greatest of all constellations, Orion, is the hero of this starry epic tale written in the night heavens!
.
And Orion appears as a mighty soldier, ready to fight against the Dragon, just as it is written…
.
“And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angel” Revelation 12:7.
.
And so, you can see Orion in the winter-night sky, with the Revelation 12 Dragon to his left. Orion has his sword raised, and he is crouched, as if ready to do battle.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
LOOSING ORION’S BANDS
.
This constellation is spoken of several times in the Bible… “Can you loose the bands of Orion?”, God again asks Job. Of course, Job probably had no idea of what God was speaking of. On the other hand, the ancients were much more in tune with the starry host of heaven. So they too might have been aware of this heavenly Gospel story. And there is a spiritual meaning to all this. But Orion stands with all the “Armor of God” in place, fighting against the Dragon.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
IN THE WEST
.
In the late fall it appears like Orion is losing His battle with the Dragon.
.
The Dragon is atop of Orion (see above picture), spewing his water out of his mouth after the Woman. But as winter continues, more and more does Orion gain the advantage over the Dragon.
.
Finally, in later winter, Orion is atop the Dragon looking as if He will deliver the fatal blow to the Dragon, as this star-chart depicts.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
FIVE ORIONS!!
.
But there is much more to Orion than most people are aware of. You see, the Orion Constellation is a heavenly optical illusion. Yes, Orion looks like a soldier wielding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other.
.
Nevertheless if you look again, you might easily see Orion as holding a bow ready to shoot his arrow into the Dragon. But wait! That’s not all. If you look harder you can see Orion as a Reaper. He is holding a sickle in his outstretched hand. And as this constellation is still in the east, you might even see him laying on a cloud. This cloud is the Milky Way. This is spoken of in Revelation Chapter 14:14.
.
But wait! That’s still not all! If you see Orion when it is standing upright, you might again see it as a Cross almost at the pinnacle of a hill. Each one of these four figures of the Orion Constellation are well-spoken of in Scripture as well as the book of Revelation. This is nothing short of incredible! Orion in all four roles, is a picture of Jesus Christ, and how He fights and conquers evil in the universe, from four different vantage-points: 1. Orion the Soldier 2. Orion the Archer 3. Orion the Reaper 4. The Cross of Orion. (Click on one to read more!)
.
And why does Orion wear four hats? Well…
.
1. Orion the Soldier represents God’s Word, and how that Word clothes us as we become soldiers in God’s army.
2. Orion the Archer represents how God uses His children (Believers) as His sharp arrows to shoot His enemy.
3. Orion the Reaper reminds us that we need to join the Lord in His harvest of lost souls.
4. The Cross of Orion, reminds us that Christ’s death on the Cross made all these things possible. But it also reminds us that we too must die with Christ & lift up our own cross (of self-sacrificial life of service) and follow Jesus. And these four “offices” of Orion likewise remind us of the four horsemen of Revelation, CH. 6.
.
5. ORION, THE GOOD SHEPHERD… This recently revealed Orion (December 2012) speaks of Jesus as the Good Shepherd. This is the 5th revealed personality of Orion. So this Orion, the Good Shepherd, reminds us that Jesus offers to give us rest unto our souls, if we will only become the sheep of His pasture.

The Glorious Horse Constellation has previously had no recognition by astronomers or even astrologers. But this is a very beautiful constellation, once you locate it. The Bible speaks of a horse as referring to God’s people in war. This horse is mentioned in Zechariah…
.
“for the LORD of hosts hath visited His flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as His goodly horse in the battle….And they shall be as mighty men, which tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle:” Zechariah 10:3, 5.
.
This Glorious Horse Constellation joins with Orion in battle with the Dragon. But in the beginning of winter, both the Horse and Orion are falling backward. The Dragon is winning. But as winter passes, more and more do Orion and the Horse gain the advantage. Finally, before spring, both Orion as well as the Horse are atop the Dragon. The Horse is trampling the Dragon’s tail, as Orion is about to strike his sword into the Dragon. And as you see these three constellations begin to dip below the western horizon, this heavenly motion picture displays this happy ending.

During mid-winter, for several months, a phenomenon occurs between the two constellations… The Cross of Orion, and The 7 Stars. As you have already read, The 7 Stars Constellation tips itself up and up until it seems to pour out its contents upon the Earth. At this same time it begins to appear as a giant “Cross”, standing up. You already know this. But what’s even more amazing is that this 7 Stars Constellation seems to be imitating The Cross of Orion. In other words, this 7 Stars Constellation, which represents God’s people is imitating The Cross of Orion! It reminds us that we are to imitate our Lord in all we do! If you look south in winter (at the right time of night), you see the Cross of Orion. Then, an hour later, if you look north, you see the 7 Stars imitating the Cross!

3 ANGELS FLYING
.
IN MIDST OF HEAVEN
Revelation 14
.
“And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth… And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen…And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God” Revelation 14:6, 8-10
.
These three sets of Constellations (Summer, Fall, Winter Constellations) seem to align with messages of the three angels flying in the midst of Heaven, as presented in Revelation 14…
.
1. “And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.”
.
2. “And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.”
.
3. “And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, etc…..” Revelation 14:6-9
.
.
FIRST ANGEL (Everlasting Gospel)
.
The Summer Constellations seem to align with the first Angel having the everlasting Gospel to preach, which these Signs Of Heaven are definitely the everlasting Gospel.
.
This First Angel is typified by Arcturus as he leads us on this sweep through the heavens as he proclaims the everlasting Gospel, written in the heavens.
.
.
.
.
SECOND ANGEL (Babylon has fallen.)
.
The second angel proclaiming that Babylon has fallen aligns with the Fall Constellations.
.
The fall Constellations point out the Valley of Decision and the Destroying Mountain of Babylon. And so these constellations present the fearful concept found in the message of the second angel of Revelation ch. 14. It is a call to come out of Babylon. It is a call to climb the Mount of Blessing, symbolized by the first mountain farthest to the left (north).
.
.
.
.
.
THIRD ANGEL (Mark of the Beast)
.
The Third Angel, warning to not take the Mark of the Beast aligns with the Winter Constellations which show us just how we may escape the Dragon and his deadly waters spewing out of his mouth.
.
By Christian warfare, by imitating Christ, by fleeing to the mountains, by running the Christian Race, and by choosing the Narrow Way…these are God’s chosen means that He will lead each and every one of His children to do, to escape, “the corruption that is in the world through lust.” 2nd Peter 1:4.
.
What better personage to proclaim this message of the Third Angel, than this Woman of Revelation 12, with wings as an eagle?
.
.
.
.
.
.
A HEAVENLY HOBBY
Matthew 5:16
.
And so God has symbolized these Three Angels, flying in the midst of Heaven, the star, Arcturus (1st Angel), the Fall Constellations (2nd Angel), and by the Revelation 12 Woman (3rd Angel).
.
As the reader studies this website, it will become more and more evident that the messages presented by these three angels is what Signs Of Heaven is all about. The reader is encouraged to study, to download, and to share this wonderful message with anyone willing to listen. And even if it seems as if nobody is willing to listen, this message is primarily for you, the Reader, so that we can know just what God has in mind for His people at this late hour. Preparation is everything. Everything else is optional. There will be NO churches forming. No big fellowship gatherings. No roll books. These messages are all about preparation: personal preparation. This is our “fleeing to the mountains” message.
.
Nevertheless, to study these promised signs (see Luke 21:25) makes a wonderful and richly rewarding hobby. It is an inexpensive one, which can complement any camping trip. And you 
don’t need any equipment, like those in the photo below. Just a starry night and perhaps a camping chair. And once you really get to know these, your faith will become much stronger as you realize that there is nothing placed in Heaven haphazardly.
.
But by all means, share these things, if possible! Then, by so-doing, we can be co-laborers with God and with each other, as we spread these three wonderful messages abroad. But the great purpose of this website is to help God’s people to understand just how we all, “may stand perfect and complete in all God’s will” Colossians 4:12.
.
And then when our “obedience is fulfilled” (2nd Corinthians 10:6), we can shine “as the light of the sun” (Isaiah 30:26), which is really our true witness to every dear lost soul living in this hopelessly dying world.
.
The world has heard about Jesus. Now, the world needs to see Jesus… in us! (see Romans 8:19)

“HAPPILY EVER AFTER…”
.
.
As just stated, this heavenly story has a happy ending. This is because in addition to Orion and his Horse finishing off the Dragon, there is another wonderful event to this grand finale. The Woman who has been fleeing to the wilderness, begins to be seen as flying toward both Orion and the Dragon. But there are two sets of bright stars; one set of bright stars at the tip of Orion’s sickle. And a set of bright stars at the tip of the Dragon’s water-wave. The two stars at the tip of the Dragon’s water-wave are about twice as far apart from each other as the two stars on Orion’s sickle. These two sets of stars represent a biblical parable; namely the parable of the Wide Gate and the Strait Gate (Narrow Gate).
.
“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:” Matthew 7:13
.
And so these two sets of bright stars each symbolize one of those gates; the Dragon’s gate of course, is the Wide Gate, symbolizing Satan’s look-alike Gospels which offer worldly inducements to the church-world.
.
And ‘Orion’s’ Gate is the Narrow Gate, which symbolizes the true Gospel which was composed of Christ alone and His wonderful Word. And so we begin to see what Orion’s sickle really is; the true Gospel. And the Dragon’s wave of water is Satan’s false gospels. But here’s really great news; the Woman seems to be swerving toward Orion’s Gate: the Narrow Gate. This happy fact is not so evident while these stars are in the eastern skies. But when in the west, she is definitely swerving toward the Orion’s Gate: The Narrow Gate. Beautiful ending! But click on link to read more. THE NARROW WAY & BROAD WAY STARS… (Click to read more!)

.
.
CASTOR AND POLLUX STARS
.
.
“we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux…” Acts 28:11
.
But there is something even more amazing to all this. The two stars representing the Orion’s Gate: The Narrow Gate are mentioned in the Bible… Castor & Pollux. If you will turn to Acts 28:11, you will read that Paul and the men who accompanied him on the first ship (which crashed on the rocks), boarded a second ship whose sign was Castor & Pollux…these two bright stars.
.
So we begin to realize that God is making a big statement here. Castor & Pollux symbolize Orion’s Gate: The Narrow Gate that we all must enter, if we wish to live forever… “Enter ye in at the STRAIT (NARROW) GATE: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” Matthew 7:13, 14.
.
And to this Jesus adds… “I AM THE DOOR: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved.” John 10:9. So we begin to realize that this mysterious reference in Acts 28:11 to these two stars, Castor & Pollux was actually a reference to Jesus, who is that Orion’s Gate: The Narrow Gate which leads to eternal life. Incredible? Very! But click on above link (Castor & Pollux Stars) to read all about this!

One January night in 2011, I was riding with my brother-in-law back to Klamath Falls, from Redding. It was a good dark night, so I urged him to stop, so I could show him the Wave of Water Constellation. And as we were looking up at the stars, I began to wonder if these Winter Constellations were aligned with the Summer Constellations. Now, the Summer Constellations were no longer visible, since it was January. So in the next few days, I began to research this idea. And after some time, I realized that the Winter Constellations appeared as the top portion of a sword, and the Summer Constellations appeared as the lower shaft and tip of a sword.
.
Now most star charts must show the constellations on a curve to compensate for the curvature of the Earth: and it’s not so easy to see this alignment properly. But if you go out in January and February, you can see somewhat more of this phenomenon.

This last year (2012) I decided to go to Wikipedia and take each constellation on this website, and chart them out onto a piece of paper.

Upon doing so, I noticed that it appeared somewhat like a Jesus, hanging on a Cross, with his head leaning back, as if he’s in pain.

Well, this entire story began with the Flower of the Field Constellation. And it looks like it will end with this Flower of Heaven Constellation. The first flower (Flower of the Field Constellation) came up out of the Earth. But this second flower is suspended from Heaven. This constellation was revealed to the web host around the beginning of 2013. As you can see in this sketch, this Flower of Heaven is composed primarily of the Corvus Constellation and stars from the Virgo Constellation. It appears to be suspended from the Golden Altar Constellation (a.k.a., Leo Major).

Here is the newest revealed constellation (Fall, 2013). It completes and compliments the Goodly Horse in Battle Constellation.
.
The head and back of this constellation is made of the Constellation, Camelopardalis. The back of his leg is made of various stars in the Cassiopeia Constellation (Epsilon, Chi, plus other minor Cassiopeia stars: phi, theta, upsilon, etc., etc.)
.
But what is the great concept which God is wanting us to see, in giving us this constellation? Well, to put it the most concise language, this Holy-Ghost-Rider represents the Holy Spirit’s representation of Christ, as He leads the Church into battle, working through God’s people (represented, not only by the Horse, but also by the myriad of Milky Way stars, which flow through this Rider.
.
OK, so to understand this constellation is a very complex concept. But also to find this Constellation will take some work, too. But it only makes sense that the Holy Spirit would be represented by such a mysteriously faint constellation, since the Holy Spirit works so imperceptibly in the hearts and lives of Believers.

SIGNS IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM
.
(click on this above title to read)
.
It would seem that God has created our solar system to represent the 10 Commandments. Now this is only a theory. But it holds perhaps more weight of evidence than other popular theories (such as the Theory of Evolution). Anyway, this article explores some of that evidence, beginning with the Sun, which seems to represent the 1st Commandment: “Thou shalt have no other gods before Me”.
.
Of course, one big clue is that Jesus compares Himself to the Sun, as this verse shows… “But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.” Malachi 4:2. Some of the other evidences may surprise you.

Wikipedia Star-Chart – Corona Borealis
A few weeks ago (May, 2014), this group of stars was noticed, as they are aligned in a slight oval position right next to the Beautiful 12-star Crown.
And these stars were maybe even a little brighter than the Crown.
.
But those stars represented the Five Wise Virgins from Matthew 25. And that slight oval pattern represented their gathering around the Glorious Crown, giving the Crown the attention it deserved. In other words, it is only true worshippers of God who highly esteem the crown of victory which awaits those who persevere with Jesus to the very end!
.
So then these Five Wise Virgins are gathered at the feet of the Sign of the Son of Man Constellation, just as Mary Magdalene sat at Jesus feet to hear His Word! And so this realization gave further credence to these stars representing the Five Wise Virgins.
.
But even more than this, these five stars represent the five toes of Sign of the Son of Man Constellation! And so, this means that the crown represented the heel of that Son of Man, as He hung on the Cross.
.

.
But there is a group of stars which were on the opposite side of the crown also in a slight oval pattern. But unlike the wise virgins, these stars were curved away from the crown as if to say that they were ignoring the crown. And likewise they were ignoring the privilege of sitting at the feet of Jesus, as the Five Wise Virgins were!
.
But there is more to all this. You see, these stars, along with more stars appears like a snake, winding away from the crown.
.
And then, to one’s utter amazement, this snake is winding its way around the heel of the Son of Man Constellation! And of course, this reminds one of the curse that was pronounced by God against the serpent in the Garden… “And the LORD God said unto the serpent…thou shalt bruise His heel.” Genesis 3:14 (condensed).
.
So here was a constellation which appeared as a serpent, and was winding its way around the heel of the Son of Man hanging on the Cross!
.
Now if this is not enough, just look up on the star charts regarding what stars and constellations these stars happen to be. And to your amazement, the wide-open jaws of this serpent are the very same four stars which the Babylonians saw as Draco, the Dragon (photo right). But the body of Draco are completely different stars than this Serpent Constellation! But the head is the same, only backwards, so that it appears as the wide-open jaws of a snake.
.
But these phenomena weren’t finished! There was yet another aspect to all this! You see, these four stars which represent the jaws of this serpent are pointing in two separate directions. And so, if you draw a line across the night sky, you will discover that one jaw points to the Valley of Decision Constellation. And the other jaw points to the “O Destroying Mountain Constellation”, in which there was also a group of five stars, likewise representing the Five Foolish Virgins. Now on the star-charts, you can’t see this. But out in the night sky, they definitely point in those two directions!

HAS JUST BEGUN
.
You have read the very fundamental basics of this Heavenly Love Story. But there are many other articles to read on this website. If the Reader would read one article per day (or even just several per week), then he or she could gain great insight into this message, and the Bible concepts which these stars are pointing us to. What better use of one’s time could there be? The care and nourishment of one’s Soul is the highest privilege and duty of Mankind. And these signs were given by God; and to understand them will greatly aid the Christian, who seeks to be fully armored up for the Last Conflict just ahead.

EDITOR’S NOTE…
.
Some of the sketches on this website are not completely 100% accurate as to the placement nor the brightness of each star. However, they are hopefully close enough so to be able to locate these constellations in the night sky.
.
As to the matter of locating these stars, there is a similarity to studying the Bible. Because like getting familiar with the Bible, what appears very difficult at first, soon becomes more and more easy to see. The student needs to devote time, prayer to the study of these things. And really, it’s not so important to be able to find these constellations as it is to understand the Biblical concepts that these heavenly signs point us to.
.
And more than this, as Scripture points out… “But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you…” 1st John 2:27. If you are properly studying your Bible, you need not any man to teach you…not even this website. Because all these concepts are from the Bible. And the Bible makes clear, just what is the Narrow Pathway to Heaven!
.
The problem is, that the concepts from this website, although Biblical, are not expounded so much in today’s Christian world. And so, this website can be a wonderful collection of signs, pointing us to some very timely Biblical truths, which will help the reader to prepare for what is now just emerging upon the horizon.

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 Chur
ch (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.

ng the “number of a man”. The number “6” in Scripture has to do with “Man”. It is a number which reminds of the 6th Day of Creation; the day that Man was created. Man was created on the 6th day. And so, Mankind is very much connected with the number “6” 
.
And so, the torture chambers, and the flames-of death-at-the-stake, became the puni
ch (7 Stars).
