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:

and they shall fight, because the Lord is with them.”

GOODLY HORSE CONSTELLATION

.

.

.

.

.

“Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion:

for I will make thine horn iron,

and I will make thy hoofs brass:

and thou shalt beat in pieces many people:

and I will consecrate their gain unto the LORD,

and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.”

Micah 4:13

.

.

Throughout history, horses have been, for the most part, Man’s chosen vehicle in battle.

.

Oh yes, the horse has been a great friend, and a wonderful means of transportation, and other needs of mankind.

.

But these dynamic, four-footed warriors seem to have been especially designed for the battlefield.

.

Fast and powerful, and unafraid to fully engage in fierce and deadly circumstances…

.

…these “nature’s war-machines” speak eloquently on behalf of an all-knowing and majestic Creator-God.

.

You see, as it turns out, horses just happen to be God’s favorite vehicle in battle also.

.

And to our amazement, God has placed a horse in the night-sky.

.

And along with the Constellation Orion, there is a battle-scene which silently passes through the night-heavens, unbeknownst to the sleeping world below…

.

…mighty Orion and his faithful horse, fully engaging in hand-to-hand battle against his ancient foe, The Revelation 12 Dragon.

BIBLE VERSES PICTURED IN THE HEAVENS

.

THIS STAR-CHART: Notice how the right front hoof is trampling on the tail of the Dragon. Also notice his eye is a star.

.

It’s best seen when in the western half of the sky.

.

It is found in mid-sky traveling from east to west. In January, it is in the west after midnight.

.

As winter progresses, it can be seen earlier and earlier in the evening. 

.

A dark sky with good star-visibility is best, but not absolutely necessary to see this constellation.

.

It is found on the opposite side of the Dragon Constellation from Orion.

.

And as already stated, this Glorious Horse Constellation can be seen best in mid-winter when it is in the western side of the sky…

.

…and you are looking at it while you are facing west.

.

The nose and head of this horse is partly made from the Perseus Constellation.

.

The tail and rear end is partly of the Cassiopeia Constellation.

.

The hind-leg is made partly of stars from the Andromeda Constellation.

 .

 .

 .

.

.

.

WHO IS THIS HORSE?…

.

 Well, just who or what does this horse represent? It represents God’s people…

.

…”for the LORD of hosts has visited His flock the house of Judah,

and hath made them as His GOODLY (‘glorious’ or ‘magnificent’) 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:

and they shall fight,

because the Lord is with them.”

Zechariah 10:3.5.  

.

Notice that it says, “they shall be as mighty men which TREAD DOWN their enemies as in the mire of the streets”.

.      

The Bible, to a great extent has been written by God, in allegories.

.

This above passage from Zechariah uses four different metaphors in describing His people.

.

He calls us His “flock”.

.

He calls us His, “goodly horse in battle”.

.

He calls Believers “The House of Judah”.

.

And last, he compares His faithful ones to “mighty men which TREAD DOWN their enemies as in the mire of the streets”

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

HORSE GLOWS!

.

If you happen to locate this horse, you may notice that, on a clear, dark night, it somewhat appears to glow, especially the upper portion.

.

And this is because the Milky Way runs through it.

.

This picture doesn’t bring out this glow.

.

But if you have a very dark night, this glowing effect is very beautiful!

.

And since stars represent God’s Elect people, this gives an added spiritual dimension to this very beautiful constellation!

JEHU’S HORSE TRAMPLES JEZEBEL

. 

 There is an account in 2nd Kings about the day when Jehu destroyed idolatry out of Israel.

.

After killing the prophets of Baal, he went after Jezebel.

.

She was in her palace, until she was thrown down and trampled by Jehu’s horse…  

.

“And he said, ‘Throw her (Jezebel) down’.

So they threw her down:

and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall,

and on the horses:

and he (Jehu) trode her under foot.”

2nd Kings 9:33. 

Picture Jehu on his horse, trampling this symbol of the apostate church (Jezebel) under his horse’s feet.

.

So here the trampling of Jezebel (who is Satan’s agent to bring apostasy into God’s kingdom) is a picture of the destruction of Satan’s kingdom. 

.

Jezebel is not just an Old Testament figure.

.

She is made reference to in Revelation…

“you tolerate that woman Jezebel, which calls herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants…

and all the churches shall know that I am He which searches the reins and hearts:

and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.”

Revelation 2:20-23. 

Notice that this passage mentions Jezebel in reference to the New Testament churches.

.

She symbolizes the apostate portion of God’s people and the false doctrines they bring into the Church.

FALLING BACKWARD

.

Here is a verse which seems to be a future prophecy…

“Dan shall be a serpent by the way,

an adder in the path,

that bites the horse heels,

so that his rider shall fall backward.” 

Genesis 49:17.  

This verse is a picture of Dan compared to a serpent who bites the horse’s heels and causes his rider to fall backwards.

.

This verse explains why Orion is not on his Horse.

.

It also explains why at the beginning of winter, both Orion and his Horse appear to be falling backward.

.

This verse above was never before fully understood. 

.

But this verse is a prophecy concerning the tribe of Dan way back in Genesis.

.

So how does this relate to the New Testament Church?     

 .

You see, it has such a striking resemblance to this constellation group as seen in the early winter.

.

You have Orion and his Horse fighting against this Dragon.

.

And as you look at these constellations when they are in the eastern sky, both Orion and his Horse appear to be falling backwards.

.

.

.

THE HOLY GHOST RIDER CONSTELLATION

.

This newest Signs Of Heaven Constellation (Fall, 2013) is by far the faintest of constellations, but is a very incredible and awesome in a number of ways (which this article will explain).

.

It is primarily comprised of the Camelopardalis Constellation, plus several stars from the Cassiopeia Constellation, plus some random stars.

.

It appears as an outline of a rider.

.

Only the back of his head is detailed.

.

And his back and the back of his legs are also detailed.

.

Both sides of his arm are visible, and his hand is gripping the horse’s mane, and that is detailed by three stars (which are also part of the horse’s mane).

.

The rider is in a position similar to a race-horse jockey.

.

The two brightest stars in this constellation, are from the Cassiopeia Constellation, and are part of his leg.

.

All the rest of the stars are very faint, and must be viewed on a very starry night.

.

Since this constellation has just been revealed, there may be more to this constellation in the coming months.

.

But if you can locate the Goodly Horse in Battle Constellation, then you shouldn’t have too much trouble locating this Rider Constellation (on a very dark and starry night).

.

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.
