How Do I See These Signs Of Heaven?

.

Part 4:

“The Two Great Signs In The Heavens!”

To read Part 1, go here…January 2nd (How Do I See These Signs of Heaven? Part 1)

.

.

.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the greatest truth in all the universe!

.

Yes, the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the incredible Good News: the Good News of God’s love for miserable sinners like me and you!

.

And it is the story of Christ and His beloved Church. No, not some particular denomination.

.

But interspersed throughout the world, are those individuals who have received a new heart through the power of God’s Holy Spirit. This is the true Church of God.

GOSPEL WRITTEN IN NATURE

.

Now, if one closely examines the various aspects of nature, it might be discovered that Christ and His Church are inscribed here and there, throughout the created things.

.

For instance, in music, the two primary notes which form the very foundation of harmonic music are the 1st and 5th notes of a scale.

.

And by comparing this with the Ten Commandments, it is seen that the 1st Commandment is all about God’s supreme position over everything and everyone.

.

And the 5th Commandment is about family. It is all about a child honoring his father and mother.

.

And so, the two fundamental musical notes of the scale (1st and 5th) align with the 1st and 5th commandments: God and His Family, the Church!

WRITTEN IN THE HEAVENS

.

Not only in the music world, but this same concept of Christ’s love for His Church can be seen in the heavens!

.

Yes, the two greatest constellations in the night-sky are a picture of Christ and His family, the Church!

ORION & THE 7 STARS

.

Well, it is “Orion” and “The 7 Stars” (also known as The Big Dipper).

.

That’s right! This incredible phenomenon is seen in the night heavens!

.

Orion, of course, represents Christ. And The 7 Stars represents the Church of Christ.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

THE TWO GREATEST CONSTELLATIONS

.

And so, here once again, the Lord has inscribed this very same concept, even in the stars of heaven!

.

Christ and His Church!

. 

The two greatest truths!

.

And these two constellations are the easiest constellations to locate! It only makes sense!

.

GREATEST BIBLICAL CONCEPT TOO!

.

This same concept of Christ and His Church is likewise found throughout the Bible.

.

Oh yes, in the Old Testament, Christ is not specifically named.

.

And yet, the entire Old Testament speaks of Him, either as “The Lord”, or “God”, or veils Him in types and symbols.

.

. 

DAVID, A TYPE OF CHRIST

.

For instance, the Old Testament uses David as a type, or symbol, of Christ. And so, when David is mentioned in Psalms, it most likely is speaking of Christ.

.

And of course, one only has to glance at the New Testament to realize that Christ and His people are the main focus.

7 STARS NOT VISIBLE IN FARTHEST REGIONS OF THE SOUTH

.

Now, it should be noted that the 7 Stars (aka The Big Dipper) may not be seen by many who live in the southernmost regions of the globe.

.

But God has provided Internet for such a time as this, to allow easy access to the heavens.

.

And so, even those living far south can now study all these things, even though they may not be able to enjoy literally seeing them in the sky.

.

.

.

.

.

GOOD NEWS!

.

Well, the Good News is, that we are living in an hour in which God is calling every lost soul in the world to become a member of His Church.

.

And for those who are willing to seek after this great privilege, the prophet, Joel says… “And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Acts 2:21

COME LIVE FOREVER!

.

Just think about it! God has graciously provided a way of escape out of this doomed planet, into a world which will never end!

.

And those who finally do enter into that “Promised Land” will live forever in peace and joy and harmony, together with the multitudes of redeemed persons who also have called upon the name of the Lord throughout Earth’s history!

AS THE STARS FOR EVER AND EVER!

.

And then, as one of the redeemed, your name too will also be inscribed forever in the heavens…

“And they that be wise shall shine

as the brightness of the firmament;

and they that turn many to righteousness

as the stars for ever and ever.”

Daniel 12:3

A HEAVENLY HOBBY

.

.

.

.

“Lift up your eyes on high,

and behold Who has 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 fails.”

Isaiah 40:26

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.

.

.

.

“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;”

Luke 21:25
