“THE VOICE OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS”

.

“All flesh is grass,

and all the goodliness thereof

is as the flower of the field…

 surely the people is grass.

The grass withers, the flower fades:

but the Word of our God shall stand for ever.'”

Isaiah 40:3, 6-8 (Condensed).

.

This is the voice of “one crying in the wilderness“, proclaiming to us of the “vanity (meaninglessness and futility) and vexation of spirit” of this fallen world…

.

…that is, he proclaims to the world of the worthlessness and destruction which results from a life void of the love and simplicity of Christ.

FLOWER OF THE FIELD CONSTELLATION…

.

(LOCATING THIS CONSTELLATION…)

.

This constellation can best be seen in spring through summer in the southern sky just above the horizon.

.

Like all constellations, it slowly moves westward through the months, appearing a little earlier each night.

.

It also appears to move through the sky westward each night.

.

It can be easily seen under most any degree of darkness. In other words, you don’t need a very dark night.

.

In this sketch, the ‘Flower of the Field’  Constellation `is in the lower part of this chart, directly under the Cross/Scepter Constellation. 

.

This constellation presents one of the most beautiful verses in Scripture (of which there are many!).

.

And yet that Scripture presents one of the most repugnant concepts (which unsaved Mankind has tried to elude for millenniums).

.

And that concept is, that Mankind is like the grass that withers, and his glory as the wildflower that fades away.

.

But God’s Word and those that love it will go on for ever and ever!

.

“THE FLOWER FADES…BECAUSE…THE LORD BLOWS UPON IT…”

Isaiah 40:7

.

If you go out in the springtime, your lawn may be full of those pesky little yellow flowers commonly known as Dandelions.

.

The Dandelion does well for a short time.

.

But in a short time, that little flower of the field dies.

.

This reminds us of the Bible verse at the top of the page where it says…

.

“The grass withers, the flower fades:

because the spirit of the LORD blows upon it:

surely the people is grass.”

Isaiah 40:7

.`

The Bible compares the Spirit of God to wind.

.

If you notice in the sketch of the Summer Constellations, the Flower of the Field Constellation appears as a flower bent, as if the wind is blowing on it; a wind from the east…

.

But of course, the flower of the field is rooted in the earth.

.

It cannot go with the gentle nudging of the Holy Spirit!

.

It forever clings to the earth and eventually passes away, returning to the dust of the earth!

.

And so, it is with lost Mankind!

“IN THE DAY OF THE EAST WIND”

Isaiah 27:8

.

In the sketches below, the flower is bending westward.

.

It’s as if an East Wind is blowing this Flower of the Field westward. 

.

Scripture speaks a number of times about the East Wind…

…”Should a wise man utter vain knowledge,

and fill his belly with the east wind?”

Job 15:2

.

So here is seen a concept of which this Flower Constellation presents.

.

God purposely allows hard times to fall upon those whom He wishes to save…

.

LISTEN…“Because My people hath forgotten Me,

they have burned incense to vanity…

I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy;

I will show them the back, and not the face,

in the day of their calamity.”

 Jeremiah 18:15, 17.

.

This passage is not concerning some other people.

.

No, this passage concerns both you and myself!

ARCTURUS LEADS HIS HEAVENLY ENTOURAGE…

.

“The wind blows where it desires,

and you hear the sound thereof,

but can not tell from where it comes,

and where it goes:

so is every one that is born of the Spirit.”

John 3:8

.

It can’t help but be noticed that the two birds are flying toward the west: the same direction the flower is bending.

.

The above verse from John 3:8 says that those who are ‘born again’ will move in the same direction as the Spirit blows.

.

.

.

.

.

MAN’S FADING GLORY

.

“As for man, his days are as grass:

as a flower of the field,

so he flourisheth. 

For the wind passes over it, and it is gone;

and the place thereof shall know it no more.”

Psalm 103: 15, 16  

.

The above verses are basically giving the same concept as the verse from Isaiah at the top of this page.

.

Mankind is like the grass that withers.

.

Man’s glory is like the flower of the field that withers.

.

The “Two Turtle-Doves” Constellation is following “Arcturus”.

.

This “Flower of the Field Constellation” on the other hand is being blown by the wind of this heavenly entourage, which entourage is spoken of in Job…

…”Can you guide Arcturus with his sons?”

Job 38:32.

But the flower represents the glory of Mankind. It is a fading flower. It withers and dies.

.

Listen to Isaiah, as God speaks of the world…

“But we all are like an unclean thing

and all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags

and we do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities,

like the wind have taken us away.”

Isaiah 64:6

.

Here again in Isaiah, this same concept is repeated.

.

But this time it is referring to God’s people… “we do fade as a leaf”, because of our sins.

.

Below are more verses about sinful Mankind fading…

MANKIND POINTS HEAVENWARD

.

As this Wikipedia star-chart shows, the flower appears to be pointing to Arcturus and the Revelation 12 Woman.

.

As this flower represents the glory of Mankind, then the obvious message is this: even Mankind ultimately points to Jesus, because all Mankind eventually withers and falls away.

.

And as humanity considers how fragile life is, then by their own sinfulness, and sadness and hopelessness, they unwittingly praise the Lord…

…”Surely the wrath of man shall praise Thee:

the remainder of wrath shalt Thou restrain.”

Psalm 76:10.

.

So the sinfulness of Mankind praises the Lord. 

.

Thus, the following Psalm then begins to make sense…

…”Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD.

Praise ye the LORD.”

Psalm 150:6.

.

So then, we could possibly say, that it’s virtually impossible for any creature not to praise the Lord.

.

Romans makes this concept clear… “…our unrighteousness commend(s) the righteousness of God” Romans 3:5

.

So now it begins to make sense why this flower (which represents Mankind) is pointing to Arcturus (which represents Christ) as He leads this procession of constellations Heavenward (which represent His followers).

.

.

.

.

.

.

WHY IS THIS MAN POINTING DOWNWARD?

.

 So then, it’s virtually impossible for any creature not to praise the Lord.

.

Romans makes this concept clear… “…our unrighteousness commend(s) the righteousness of God” Romans 3:5

.

For instance, the atheist, as he grows old and sad and hopeless, only makes Christianity look that much more appealing to those who are questioning and searching which direction to go in life!

.

Those who are deluded by atheism are often tormented by nightmares of eternal blackness and nothingness, and hopelessness!

.

But so often, the atheist will put on his or her best face, when out in public, so as to hide the fear inside.

.

It really shows how atheism can eventually immerse a man (or woman) in hopelessness and despair, and all the more as they (and their loved-ones) grow nearer and nearer to the grave. 

.

Listen… “(Humanity), through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.” Hebrews 2:15

.

And of course, atheism only makes Christianity that much more appealing, as we see what that hopeless alternative called atheism really looks like!

.

So please come and explore how this constellation relates to Mankind…even to you and to me!

.

First let’s go to Isaiah, to hear the Word of the Lord…

FLOWER CONSTELLATION BOWS DOWN…

.

AUGUST 28TH, 2011

.

It has become apparent, on this date, that as summer draws to a close, this “Flower of the Field” “Constellation appears to bend almost completely down.

.

This occurs as it travels into the western skies.

.

It somehow rotates in order to produce this effect.

.

This is a very wonderful phenomenon…and biblical too!

.

After all, the Bible says “the grass withers and the flower falls away”.

.

And that’s exactly what this flower constellation seems to do.

.

It almost seems to be bowing itself…in the direction of that bright and beautiful star, “Arcturus” (which represents Jesus).

.

This would make sense. After all, Scripture states…

“…unto Me (the Lord),

every knee shall bow,

every tongue shall swear…”

Isaiah 46:1-4 (condensed)

.

“Ark of the Covenant” and “Flower of the Field” Constellations (1st picture in springtime & 2nd in fall) – www.signsofheaven.org

.

.

.

.

.

EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW

.

Here, God is saying that the gods of this world will eventually fail.

.

They will eventually bow under the heavy burden of sin and its destructive results.

.

But the world will eventually suffer to the point, that every man, woman, and child will bow the knee to God.

.

Confessing that Jesus is truly Lord.

.

And we will bow and confess that we were wrong to have ever rebelled against God’s government.

.

 “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.

So it says here that “EVERY knee shall bow”.

HOPE FOR MANKIND…

.

We are born into this world and we grow until we are about 21 years old.

.

But by 35 we have noticeably deteriorated.

.

We’re like that flower of the field that begins to lose its petals.

.

Another 10 years pass, and we have lost more petals.

.

By the time we reach 60 years, we’ve lost most.

.

And so goes the dying process in a human.

.

Then we die. And someone else is born, and we are like the grass that is mown down…

…”He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass…

They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before Him;”

Psalms 72:6,9 

.

Is that all there is to life?

.

We became like the grass that is soon cut down.

.

Our glory is like that fading flower.

.

But it doesn’t need to be that way. God has given us the “fountain of youth” so to speak.

.

That fountain is found in the Bible…

“And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.”

Revelation 22:17

“SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS (SHALL) ARISE”

.

“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 

.

And so it is high time that we turn our faces to the Sun of Righteousness; to Jesus, the Giver of Eternal Life.

.

Let’s drink in those rays of golden Son-light.

.

Let’s be like these sunflowers as they drink in the life-giving properties of the Sun.

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

“AND WHEN YE SEE THESE THINGS…

.

LOOK UP, LIFT UP YOUR HEAD”

.

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 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.
