Proofs
By admin On December 2nd, 2011.
For those who demand proof that these heavenly phenomena are truly from God, is this page dedicated. Herein is a list of some of the known “coincidences” that are connected to these heavenly parables which Scripture calls the “Signs, in the Sun, Moon, and stars”. (Luke 21:25)

THE PROOF OF THE PUDDING…
.
As they say, “The proof of the pudding is in the eating thereof”. So also, the greatest proof of these signs, of course, is if the Reader will carefully study this site, and then go out and find these constellations in the night sky.
.
Actually, studying the Signs In Heaven can make an enjoyable and rewarding hobby, not to mention a relatively inexpensive one. And these constellations can be a great witnessing tool, as well. And once he or she can easily find them, then will come the realization that these were especially created by God Himself, for such an hour as this!
.
.
.
.
.
THE SIGNS OF HEAVEN
.
Yes, without a doubt, the greatest proof is found in Luke 21:25…“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…”
.
Yes, this long-awaited prophecy has now been fulfilled, as God is revealing to us His “signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars”!

FIND ORION & 7-STARS FIRST
.
But as with anything in life worthwhile, it takes real perseverance to locate all these. But the easiest way to begin is to find the two most infamous constellations, Orion and the 7 Stars (a.k.a., The Big Dipper).
.
And just like these two constellations (representing Christ and His Followers), the easiest way for a new-comer to study the Bible for the first time, is to begin with Jesus and His Followers, found in the four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John (and also the Book of Acts).
.
So you see, even this aspect of Orion and the 7 Stars representing Christ & His Church, plus the fact that they happen to be the two most prominent of all constellations, is validating that these are God’s constellations, and not Man-contrived.
.
.

“LOOK UP, AND LIFT UP YOUR HEADS”
Luke 21:28
And anyway, so many earthly hobbies require you to look down at earthly things. On the other hand, Signs Of Heaven requires you to “look up, and lift up your head” and behold these heavenly mysteries, just now being revealed for the first time. And considering the hour we now are in, that’s not such a bad thing to be found doing, is it?
.
“And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.” Luke 21:28

THE CONSTELLATIONS INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER
Have you ever heard of constellations interacting with each other? All these greatest and brightest of Constellations, God has placed just so, that they all are interacting to tell this marvelous Gospel story. Don’t let anyone fool you! There are no other constellations like these! And these are some of the most well-known constellations.
.
And to make this even more incredible, the Web-Host was not even aware of this phenomenon until about 20 years after he was first beginning to see these things! (To read his story, read the article… “Discovering Bible Constellations (Part 1…A personal timeline story) 1988”)
.
SKETCH WITH CACTUS LANDSCAPE…The above sketch are the Summer Constellations as they appear when in the western half of the night sky. The box-like constellation is the Ark of the Covenant (AKA Sagittarius) is in the south. To the right is both the Flower of the Field Constellation and above the flower is the Cross/Scepter Constellation. Further to the north is the Glorious Crown (AKA Corona Borealis) and the star, Arcturus. Farthest to the north is the 7 Stars Constellation (AKA The Big Dipper). Of course, in this sketch is the desert with several Joshua Trees and some mesas, and a few other plants.
.

.
CONSTELLATIONS ROTATE, REVEALING GREATER TRUTHS
.
And perhaps one of the most amazing aspects to this is how these constellations rotate in such a way, as to reveal more truth!
.
For example, Orion and the Goodly Horse Constellation begin winter appearing to be thrown backwards by the Dragon Constellation. But through the night, these constellations rotate in such a way, so that Orion and his Goodly Horse are both atop the Dragon in a victorious position.
.
But all the rest of the constellations on this website likewise rotate to reveal more biblical truths!
.
Amazing proof that this phenomenon is more than just the work of human imagination!
.
.
.
.
.
.
THEY LOOK LIKE WHAT THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO BE
.
These amazing constellations actually look like what they are supposed to be. That is one reason why the Host decided to simply “connect the dots” when drawing them. So you can actually see them as they appear in the sky.
.
And even when there seems to be some questionable aspects to some of these constellations, there might just be a Biblical concept that God wants to get through to us.
.
This photo to the left is of Pleiades. Does it appear as an angel? Yes, this is the Captive Angel Constellation. And you can read all about it by going to… “The Pleiades: The Captive Angel & Mystery Harlot Constellation”

THE SUMMER CONSTELLATIONS
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
There are three sets of constellations: the Summer, Fall, and Winter Constellations. And each set was placed exactly in the correct order by God, in the day that He made the Stars.
.
And just as summer is the milder time of year, so too, these Summer Constellations represent the more joyful and milder aspects of the Gospel: being chosen to be a Disciple of Jesus; following Jesus (in our mind’s eye), as He leads us through the highways & byways of our appointed days on Earth; sitting at His feet, and hearing His life-giving Word. These three aspects are what these Summer Constellations are about, as they appear to follow Arcturus (Jesus).
.
And so, these Summer Constellations, representing the more pleasant aspects of the Gospel is further proof of the heavenly origin of these Signs, in the Sun, Moon, and stars.
.
But read on, and discover much more miraculous aspects to these Summer Constellations, as they follow Arcturus, on their yearly trek through the night-heavens.

“ARCTURUS WITH HIS SONS”
(THE SUMMER CONSTELLATIONS)
.
“or can you guide Arcturus with his sons?” Job 38:32
Because of the above verse from Job, many have surmised that it was the star, Arcturus, which guided the wise men from the east, to that stable in which the promised Messiah was born.
.
Well, what star they followed may just have to remain a mystery, for a while longer. But Arcturus is now up in the night-heavens, guiding an ambassage of stars and constellations on a yearly sojourn. And Signs Of Heaven reveals just what all this means to you and to me.
.
So what are the odds of these biggest and brightest of constellations, representing Biblical concepts, following the star, Arcturus? And all this being validated by the verse, “Can you guide Arcturus with his sons”?
.
And the more the Reader will study this website, the more he or she will begin to realize just what a great message from the Lord, this really is!
.
And Arcturus (Jesus), is waiting to guide us on our own heavenly sojourn.
.
And this sojourn begins, when we open our Bible and begin to read about Him.

ARK OF THE COVENANT CONSTELLATION
.
Well, now that Arcturus has been presented, as leading his sons, let’s explore the various constellations following him, and exactly what or whom these constellations represent.
.
Perhaps the first place to begin, is with the constellation farthest to the south. That would be the Sagittarius Constellation. These summer constellations are all aligned in single file. However the Sagittarius appears to lag behind, so that it is farther east than is Ursa Major, so that this straight line of Summer Constellations is actually projecting in a northeast direction across the sky, from Sagittarius (The Ark) in the southeast to Ursa Major (The Woman) in the northwest.
.
So anyway, this Sagittarius Constellation appears like a box with a single star at one side, and two stars on the left side.
.

.
.
.
.
.
.
THE ARK FOLLOWED GOD
.
.
Now what makes this constellation special?
.
Well if you were going to present a heavenly portrait of Christ leading His people, you might wish to start with this Ark, as it was the centerpiece of the wilderness wanderings of the children of Israel, as they wandered for 40 years to their ultimate destination, the Promised Land.
.
.
Now to be sure, somebody might object, saying, what about Abraham? He was led by God! Shouldn’t he be represented here, as following Arcturus? Well maybe he should. And maybe farther south there is a star or constellation representing Abraham, Isaac, and even Jacob. But the northern hemisphere seems to be where God has made these Signs Of Heaven constellations more visible.

“I WILL…POUR YOU OUT A BLESSING”
.
.
And how is it that this Ark, as summer progresses, appears to be tipping over and spilling out its contents? This has tremendous Biblical implications!
.
Listen… “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, IF I WILL NOT OPEN YOU THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN, AND POUR YOU OUT A BLESSING, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.” Malachi 3:10.
.
So God, in this above passage from Malachi, is willing to pour out all Heaven to those willing to forsake all, and follow Jesus. And so this Ark Constellation, as it appears to slowly tip over, seems to be a heavenly remembrance of that promise found in Malachi 3:10!

PILLARS OF SMOKE
“And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out My spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions…And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.” Joel 2:28, 30.
.
Notice that in connection with the Day of the Lord, God says He will pour out His Spirit upon all flesh. But also He says that He will show wonders in the heavens. And of course, one of those wonders in the heavens is this Ark, pouring out its blessed contents. But there is another proof revealed on September 25th, 2013.
.
If you are in very good star-watching conditions, you can see a cloudy pillar of stars rising up out of this Ark in the summer, southern sky, reminding us of a pillar of smoke!
.

THE TWO TURTLE-DOVES CONSTELLATION…
(THE SUMMER CONSTELLATIONS)
.
.
And is it just a coincidence that the Ark of the Covenant Constellation also appears as two birds, which two birds (turtle-doves) were used in the Old Testament sacrifices.
.
.
Listen… “And if he be not able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring for his trespass, which he hath committed, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, unto the LORD; one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering.” Leviticus 5:7.
.
So two birds, being used as a sacrifice goes very well with this Ark Constellation. Yes, if you look at this ark with fresh eyes, it now appears as two birds flying! Just a coincidence?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
THE TWO TURTLE-DOVES
.
ALSO FOLLOW ARCTURUS…
(THE SUMMER CONSTELLATIONS)
Is it just dumb luck that these two birds appear to fly forward instead of backward, as they travel east to west? Just something to consider.
.
And how could it be that the Two Turtle-doves Constellation just happens to be flying in the same direction as Arcturus is traveling? So these Turtle-Doves also seem to represent the sons of Arcturus. They too are following Arcturus.
.
ABOVE STAR-CHART – Summer Constellations with Two Turtledoves (Sagittarius) & Flower of the Field (aka: Scorpio) & The 12-Star Crown (aka: Corona Borealis) & The Cross-Scepter (aka: Ophiochus & Serpens) & Revelation 12 Woman (Ursa Major) & Arcturus Star – www.theheavensdeclare.net
.
.
.
.
.
.
Now normally, the birds would be killed, as a sacrifice in the Old Testament sacrificial system. But both these two birds are flying, following Arcturus. This seems to speak of God’s mercy. Christ took our sins upon Himself. Just like these Two Turtle-Doves being set free, so are we likewise set free from the wages of sin… “and the truth shall make you free.” John 8: 32
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
TURTLE-DOVES APPEAR IN SPRING
(THE SUMMER CONSTELLATIONS)
.
And how is it that these two constellations concerning two aspects of Nature (the Two Turtle-Doves and the Flower of the Field) just happen to show up in spring through fall; the very time when birds and flowers appear in the northern hemisphere. Coincidence?
.
.
.
.
.
.
FLOWER OF THE FIELD CONSTELLATION…
(THE SUMMER CONSTELLATIONS)
.
And next to these Turtle-Doves, the Flower of the Field Constellation just happens to be bending towards the direction that Arcturus is traveling.
Now, this flower, having a blade of grass which appears to be pointing heavenward, seems to represent the Flower of the Field, spoken of in Isaiah…
.
“The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field: The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.” Isaiah 40:6-8.
.
So here is another amazing Biblical coincidence: That God has created this constellation to represent fallen Mankind. And God wants us to behold this flower and realize just how fragile life is.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
FLOWER ACTUALLY BOWS DOWN!
.
.
And at the end of summer, that Flower appears to bow further down, as if it’s dying. How could this be just an accident?
.
“For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and THE FLOWER THEREOF FALLS AWAY…” 1st Peter 1:24.
.
.
.
.
.
So is this just a freak coincidence? And is it just an accident that this Ark of the Covenant Constellation likewise appears to tip over as summer progresses? How could a human possibly just make all this up, using the biggest and brightest of constellations?
.
.
.
.
.
.
FLOWER ACTUALLY HAS A LEAF!
.
As of summer, 2012, after being down south, near the Mexican border, I noticed that the Scorpio Constellation (also known as, The Flower of the Field) was fully in view. While looking at the lower portion, I noticed that the rounded bottom appeared as a leaf. Needless to say, I was overjoyed, since this made that entire Scorpio Constellation appear as an entire flower, instead of just the upper portion. The old sketch shows only the upper portion, but the new sketch shows the entire Scorpio Constellation. So could this be further proof for the Reader that these are indeed the “signs in the Sun, and in the Moon, and in the Stars”, just as Luke 21:25 prophesied?
.
This sketch down in the next little section is a star-chart from Wikipedia, in which the editor of this site sketched over, to show this flower.
.
.
.
.
.
THIS FLOWER POINTS HEAVENWARD!
.
Also notice that this long blade of grass seems to be pointing upward to Heaven. This blade of grass (made of 2 stars each from the Libra & Lupus Constellations) seems to represent that even fallen mortal humans likewise are pointing upward to Heaven. This is because even sinful Mankind, by their own hopelessness and sorrow and pain, make us all realize that God’s greater-than-man’s-plan is the true plan, if we’re ever going to find true, everlasting joy.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
THE CROSS/SCEPTER CONSTELLATION
(THE SUMMER CONSTELLATIONS)
.
“there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel” Numbers 24:17
.
.
Now it appears that this great constellation is flying upward, out of the Ark of the Covenant Constellation. This of course has great significance, since the actual Ark had a branch of an almond tree. This budding rod signified Aaron’s authority to be High Priest.
.
But this Cross/Scepter Constellation seems to signify that Christ’s scepter is actually the Cross! Now, does that seem to increase the odds against all this just being an interesting coincidence of events.
.
.
.
.
.
.
“A SCEPTER SHALL RISE…”
.
But if that’s not amazing enough, just listen to this… “there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel” Numbers 24:17. Is this verse speaking about this Cross/Scepter Constellation? Oh yes, this verse is mostly speaking of Christ, the promised Messiah. But it would seem that it’s also speaking of this constellation too! Just something to ponder.
.
.
.
.
.
THE WOMAN OF REVELATION 12…
(THE SUMMER & WINTER CONSTELLATIONS)
.
.
Now this constellation appears both in summer but also in winter. This headless “Woman of Revelation 12” Constellation (AKA The Big Dipper and Ursa Major, The Great Bear) giving birth to a single star (see sketch), God is showing us that His Church needs to give birth to the Lord Jesus in our own life.
.
For instance this verse… “For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and He is the Saviour of the body.” Ephesians 5:23.
.
And how could it be that she flips around and appears as a fleeing woman now with a single star for her head? And so how could it be just coincidence that this one constellation presents these two aspects of the Revelation 12 Woman?
.
.
And this Woman is spoken of in Revelation Chapter 12!… “And there appeared a great wonder (sign) in heaven; a woman… And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered…And the woman fled into the wilderness…And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness…” Revelation 12:1, 2, 6, 14.
.
So how could it be that this one constellation fulfills the complex description of this multi-faceted Revelation 12 Woman, described in Revelation, Ch. 12?
.
ABOVE PICTURE: Winter – Revelation 12 Woman with Eagle Wings (aka Ursa Major)
.
.
.
.
.
.
ODDS ARE TOO ASTRONOMICAL!
.
And keep in mind the timing of this constellations (and the other constellations as well). She appears in early spring as the travailing woman. And then, she flips around in winter, appearing to be fleeing! So here again is proof-positive that these Signs Of Heaven are God-given, and not the product of Man’s imagination. The odds against these “coincidences” just being a matter of luck are too astronomical!
.

.
.
“A SIGN…IN THE DEPTHS OR IN THE HEIGHT ABOVE”
.
“Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above…Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.” Isaiah 7:11.
.
So here, the Lord is asking this person if he wants a “sign…in the depth or in the height above”. And then the Lord tells him about a virgin who conceives a child.
.
Well, this sign was definitely fulfilled with the birth of Jesus. But it is also fulfilled in “the height above” as this sketch shows!
.
So in essence, the Lord fulfilled His Word to this man because the sign was both fulfilled “in the depth (Bethlehem)”, and also in “the height above (Signs Of Heaven)”.
.

.
.
CROWN OF 12 STARS
(THE SUMMER CONSTELLATIONS)
How could it just be, that this Woman of Revelation 12 has a crown of 12 stars just beyond her head?… “And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon (over) her head a crown of twelve stars:” Revelation 12:1.
.
As you can see, this constellation, commonly referred to as Corona Borealis is just beyond her reach. Pretty amazing! And again, this “coincidence” only adds more even more odds against these signs being merely a heavenly anomaly.
.
.
.
.
.
.
THE FALL CONSTELLATIONS
.
.
.
.
.
.
THE ‘VALLEY OF DECISION’ CONSTELLATION…
(click on above title for link)
.
This constellation group can be seen best in summer through fall. 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.
.
The mountain to the left is the Mountain of Blessing. The middle mount is the Mount of Cursing. Between them is the Valley of Decision. And the mount to the far right is the “O Destroying Mountain”.
.
Now there are several aspects to this phenomenon, which only adds to the odds against all this being an accident in outer-space.
.
.
.
.
.
Besides the fact, that these three mountains are up there together, it only gets more incredible when this third mountain (to the far right) has a line of stars going straight down to the Revelation 12 Dragon Constellation. This seems to symbolize Satan’s counterfeit mountain, “O Destroying Mountain”, as mentioned in Jeremiah 51:25.
.

.
.
.
.
THE ANDROMEDA GALAXY
.
.
The second incredible aspect, which actually gives much impetus to this constellation group being from God, is the fact that it appears as if the Andromeda Galaxy is climbing up from the Valley of Decision (see star-chart), upward upon the Mount of Blessing (mountain to the left in this star-chart). This would appear to validate the verse from Joel, which proclaims… “Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.” Joel 3:14. And since this galaxy has an estimated trillion stars, this would certainly qualify as a multitude, would it not?

.
.
.
.
.
.
WISE AND FOOLISH VIRGINS
.
.
Another aspect to all this, is that the Mount of Blessing (Mountain on left) has that great galaxy, Andromeda, appearing to climb its way up the side of the mountain. But then, if you notice the, “O Destroying Mountain”, it has those 5 stars in a wheel-like configuration, appearing to be rolling down the “Broad Way to Destruction”! (aka Pisces)
.
Now, the Andromeda galaxy represents the 5 Wise Virgins, found in Matthew, Chapter 25. But that wheel-like configuration, appearing to roll down into the Dragon symbolizes the 5 Foolish Virgins.
.
So isn’t that amazing!?! The Five Wise Ones are climbing to victory. But the Five Foolish Ones are falling, rolling down to their destruction!
.
Coincidence? Hardly!
.
.
.
.
.
.
WINTER CONSTELLATIONS…
.
.
.
.
.
.
“But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.” Matthew 24:20, 21
.
And as already mentioned, how could it just be, that the Winter Constellations represent the harsher aspects of the Gospel? Fleeing from sin. Fighting the good fight of faith. Running the Christian race. Stomping on Satan and his evil host.
.
.
And don’t forget, these are not just a bunch of obscure stars. These are the great constellations, and stars from the great constellations: Orion, Taurus, Auriga, Cetus, Perseus, Andromeda, Cassiopeia, Pleiades, etc..
.

THE ORION PHENOMENA…
(THE WINTER CONSTELLATIONS)
.
.
How is it possible that this most infamous, Orion Constellation, appears as a soldier with a sword…an archer shooting a bow…a reaper with a sickle…a Shepherd with his staff, and a cross on a hill? And all five of these are very Biblical descriptions of Christ! How could this just be a coincidence? And how did it just work out that Orion the Archer is pointing his bow at the Dragon?
.
Or that Orion the Soldier appears to be ready to decapitate the Dragon? How could it be coincidence that the soldier is in just the right position to slay this Dragon? Just think about this. Is this beyond the possibility of being just a coincidence? Far beyond?
.

.
ORION, THE REAPER & ORION, THE CROSS
.
.
And how could it just be a coincidence that Orion the Reaper is swinging his sickle through the “Milky Way” myriad of stars?
.
This also has tremendous Biblical support… “Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and He said unto him, So shall thy seed be.” Genesis 15:5
.
And is it just blind luck that this very same constellation appears as a giant Cross…on a hill?
.
No, it’s no coincidence!

THE 7 STARS CONSTELLATION
.
Or how about the 7 Stars Constellation? How could all the various aspects of this work out so perfectly? After all, this constellation looks like a bowl in upright position in the summer months.
.
But in the winter it rises up as if to pour itself out upon the earth! In the winter! The very time which the Bible allegorizes to be the time of trouble!
.
Listen…“But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.” Matthew 24:20, 21
.
Yes, as this above verse reveals, it is winter that represents the Time of Trouble for God’s people, and for the world!
.
And isn’t it amazing that as this bowl is pouring out upon the world, that this constellation appears as a spectacular Cross on a hill?
.
This constellation alone defies the astronomical odds against merely being coincidental!
.

.
.
.
.
7 STARS IMITATE THE CROSS of ORION
.
And if these odds were enough, just think about how this incredible magnificent Cross imitates the Cross of Orion Constellation!
.
Yes, in winter, this 7 Stars Constellation follows the Cross of Orion, standing up, as if to imitate Orion, as it also appears like a giant Cross on a hill!
.
Of course, this heavenly phenomenon represents the Church (the 7 Stars) as it finally reflects the self-sacrificing character of Christ (Orion).
.
The point is, when one examines all the various aspects of the 7 Stars Constellation, the astronomical odds of all these various aspects happening together, completely eliminates any possibility that this could merely be a coincidence in nature!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
ORION THE GOOD SHEPHERD
(THE WINTER CONSTELLATIONS)
.
.
And if Orion the Reaper’s sickle is combined with one more Gemini star (Theta Geminorum), he now appears as Orion, the Good Shepherd. Now if these were merely obscure stars, then one could say this a human-contrived constellation. But Orion the Good Shepherd is made of a combination of the Orion Constellation as well as the Gemini Constellation. And these two constellations are among the most notable constellations in the night-sky.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
LOOSING THE BANDS OF ORION…
(THE WINTER CONSTELLATIONS)
And how could it simply be that Orion and his Horse begin the winter in a defeated position, and toward the last of winter they are in a victorious position over the Dragon? Just a coincidence?… “In that day the LORD with His sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and He shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.” Isaiah 27:1.

Well, this passage is a double-entendre of sorts. In one respect it speaks of how the Lord will ultimately slay the wickedness of Satan and his followers of this world. But this above passage also seems to be an allusion to this winter-group in the night-heavens, as Orion eventually overcomes the Dragon as they sink into the western horizon (as this next picture depicts).
.
These above two drawings show the Winter Constellations. The picture to the left is as they appear in late fall, above the eastern horizon. And the picture to the right is as they sink into the western horizon, later on in the season. EDITOR’S NOTE: You can actually witness these constellations moving completely across the sky in a single evening, beginning about December.

ORION AND THE ARMOR OF GOD
(THE WINTER CONSTELLATIONS)
.
“Seek Him that maketh the seven stars and Orion,” Amos 5:8
.
Back to Orion the Soldier for a moment. Just consider how remarkable is this constellation! How could it be just a coincidence, that Orion so closely aligns with Ephesians, Chapter 6 (see this verse below)? And is it just a coincidence that Orion has his sword in the right hand and his shield in the left as most soldiers also do? And just a coincidence that his belt has three stars, symbolizing the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Who are the essence of truth? And also three stars for his head? And seven stars for his basic structure? There are just too many “coincidences” in Orion, to merely chalk this all off as the result of the “Big Bang”.
.
“GIRD THY SWORD UPON THY THIGH, O MOST MIGHTY”
.
And in addition to all the other proofs of this constellation’s Biblical veracity, please consider that this as well as the other winter constellations all have to do with warfare! In other words, God has purposely created these warring constellations (the Woman is fleeing, however) in wintertime, which the Bible uses winter to symbolize trouble.
.
Listen… “But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath day: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.” Matthew 24:20.
.
So here again, this passage from Matthew appears to be an allusion to these winter constellations. But especially this passage speaks of this Fleeing Revelation 12 Woman, as she flees from the Dragon’s wave of water!
.
.
.
.
.
.
“PUT ON THE ARMOR OF GOD”
.
And so, God has created Orion the Soldier to be a symbol of what every Christian is commanded to do…to put on the ‘Armor of God’.
.
“Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day…having your loins girt about with truth, and…the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the…gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith…And take the helmet of Salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God:” Ephesians 6:13-17.
.
If one studies this constellation carefully in the light of this passage from Ephesians, it can be seen the various similarities, such as Orion’s belt which coincides with the words… “having your loins girt about with truth”.
.
You can read all about the many facets of Orion, in the article… “The Orion Phenomena”

.
THE DRAGON CONSTELLATION…
(THE WINTER CONSTELLATIONS)
.
And how is it just a coincidence that this Dragon is spewing a big wave of water out of his mouth.
.
And how is it possible that this wave of water goes directly in the path of the Woman Constellation, just as it says in Revelation 12… “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.” Revelation 12:15

PLEIADES: THE DRAGON’S TAIL
(THE WINTER CONSTELLATIONS)
.
“And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.” Revelation 12:3,4.
.
Here is a fantastic fulfillment of this prophecy. If you can find the mouth of this Dragon right next to Orion, and then go a little farther, you will see the star-cluster known as The Pleiades. This is the tip of the Dragon’s tail. Pleiades amazingly is in the shape of the tip of a lion’s tail. Just look at the photo to the right! Does Pleiades not appear to be a dragon’s tail? And this tail-tip just happens to be properly aligned with the rest of the Dragon.
.
And just as the above verse states, this Dragon’s tail, when more closely examined, appears like an angel as the above photo shows. Listen again… “And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth.” Just a coincidence? Hardly!

THE NARROW GATE & BROAD GATE STARS…
(THE WINTER CONSTELLATIONS)
How could it just be that there are two sets of brightly shining “twin stars”, one at the front of the “Wave of Water” coming out of the Dragon’s mouth, and the other at the front of Orion’s Harvester’s Sickle?
.
And did it just accidentally happen that the twin stars of Orion’s Harvester’s Sickle are about 30% more narrow than the “twin stars” of the Wave of Water from the Dragon, thus allowing the possibility for this “Narrow Gate/Broad Gate” concept to be presented?
.
And how could it just be coincidence that the Woman of Revelation 12 Constellation appears (at the end of winter) to be swerving towards the Narrow Gate Stars, thus making a perfect and beautiful finale to this marvelous heavenly Gospel “Movie” written in the night sky? And keep in mind, that these are no just obscure stars and constellations. These are the most well-known of all constellations. It’s just that the Babylonians mis-interpreted them.
.
Did we just luck out again? Or was this purposely made by our Creator God, when He placed the stars in their courses at the beginning of Creation?
.
To read more about these, just go to… “Woman of Revelation 12 & The Narrow Way Stars”, or you can also read, “Castor and Pollux & The Mystery Ship of Scripture”
.

.
.
THE THREE FACES IN THE MOON…
.
.
And how could it just be, that the Moon’s three faces happen to be one very human-like face, and two very beast-like faces, giving us the one-third and two-thirds ratio spoken of in Zechariah Ch. 13?
.
Is this a coincidence?

VERSES REGARDING SIGNS OF HEAVEN…
.
“And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together…”. This verse conveys the idea that a message in Heaven is finished, and rolled up as a scroll.
.
.
“They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.” Judges 5:20. Now how could stars in their courses fight against earthly powers? Again this seems to be a direct reference to the constellations of Signs Of Heaven.

SIGN OF THE SON OF MAN IN HEAVEN
Now just imagine that once you have charted out all these constellations, you decided to simply put them all out on a piece of paper, just the way that they appear in the sky. And as you do this, you begin to notice that together, they appear somewhat as someone hanging on a Cross, in great agony. Well, that’s exactly what happened. And this sketch, which are of all the constellations on this website (except the Flower of Heaven & Valley of Decision Constellations, which are at His feet, as this sketch reveals), shows what the web-host found.

FIVE WISE VIRGINS
.
On 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.
.

.
THE FIVE FOOLISH VIRGINS
.
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 (Jesus’) 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.

TRAJECTORY SERPENT’S JAWS TO THE VALLEY OF DECISION
.
But this phenomena wasn’t finished! There was yet another aspect to 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!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Well, these are just some of the proofs which this website reveals.
.
But if the Reader is truly a Noble Berean, then he or she will prayerfully seek out, with an open mind, the many other proofs which will confirm, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that this is truly the work of God, and not of man.

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.
