be likened unto ten virgins,

FIVE WISE VIRGINS STARS
.
.
.
.
.
.
Perhaps the most unforgettable parable in the Bible is that of the Parable of the Five Wise and the Five Foolish Virgins.
.
And now the Lord has revealed the “Five Wise Virgins Stars” in the Summer night skies.
.
Listen…“Then shall the kingdom of heaven
be likened unto ten virgins,
which took their lamps,
and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
And five of them were wise,
and five were foolish.
They that were foolish took their lamps,
and took no oil with them:
But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps…

WIKIPEDIA STAR-CHART
.
This constellation was identified on May 22nd, 2014.
.
It is simply five stars, two from the Serpens Constellation, and three from the Hercules Constellation.
.
What gives this constellation impetus and significance is that it appears as five evenly positioned stars, in a slight oval pattern…
.
…as if they were sitting in a meeting, listening, or perhaps watching someone.
.
Second, they appear to be gathered in front of The Crown of Revelation 12 Constellation. (sitting just below the Corona Borealis in this Wikipedia star-chart)
.
.
.
.
.
.
GATHERED AROUND THE GLORIOUS CROWN!
.
The position of these stars is significant in a number of ways.
.
The first, being that these Five Wise Virgins are gathered around the 12-star Crown of Revelation 12.
.
And the obvious message here is, that these wise virgins represent the faithful portion of God’s Church.
.
And as wise virgins, they understand the importance of winning the glorious crown of victory, which Jesus promised…
.
Listen… “Know ye not that they which run in a race run all,
but one receiveth the prize?
So run, that ye may obtain…
Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown;
but we an incorruptible.”
1st Corinthians 9:24, 25 (Condensed)
.
And so, God is showing us the difference between the wise and the foolish in His Church.
.
While the wise are gathered around this crown of victory, the foolish are nowhere to be found.
.
This is because the foolish in the Church are much more concerned about the world, with all its pleasures and pursuits.
.
They have little or no time to devote themselves to the pursuit of the treasures of Heaven!

AT THE FEET OF JESUS
.
Now there is another extremely incredible aspect to this star-group!
.
You see, if we could step back far enough (about several light-years backward) we would see this next constellation!
.
It is called, “The Sign of the Son of Man Constellation”.
.
As it now stands, it spans both the Summer and Winter skies, so that only half of it can be seen at a time.
.
This “Constellation of constellations” is more curved than this drawing. But you will notice that the Five Wise Virgins are gathered at the right foot of Jesus.
.
This reminds us of the story of Mary and Martha, when Jesus came for supper.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
MARY, THE “HEARER” & MARTHA, THE “DOER”
.
“I have esteemed the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.” Job 23:12
.
One of the most well-known and beloved stories of the Bible is the account in Luke Chapter 10, of Mary and her sister Martha, on the day when Jesus came for dinner.
.
As the story goes, Martha was slaving in the kitchen, while her sister, Mary, was, “sitting at Jesus’ feet, hearing His Word”. This made busy Martha angry.
.
Listen… “But Martha was cumbered about much serving,
and came to Him,
and said, Lord, dost Thou not care
that my sister hath left me to serve alone?
bid her therefore that she help me.”
.
Now the Bible makes it very clear, that, “Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, Mary…” John 11:5.
.
But Mary was definitely a Hearer, while Martha was more of a Doer.
.
Martha, today, might be called a “multi-tasker”, or perhaps a “Type-A personality”, or even a “workaholic”.

“THE LORD LOOKETH UPON THE HEART”
.
“…the LORD seeth not as man seeth;
for man looketh on the outward appearance,
but the LORD looketh on the heart.”
1st Samuel 16:7
.
Now for most of us it would be Martha we would commend, for her busy-ness; and Mary we would scold, for her laziness.
.
This is because our human nature is not so nearly concerned about the spiritual condition of the heart, as we are with good works.
.
Everyone loves an industrious person.
.
HEARING, THE BEST WORK
.
But surprise, surprise! It was not Martha, the Doer, which Jesus commended, but it was Mary, the Hearer…
“And Jesus answered and said unto her,
Martha, Martha, thou art care-filled
and troubled about many things:
But one thing is needful:
and Mary hath chosen that good part,
which shall not be taken away from her.”
Matthew 10:40-42

NOT TO STOP GOOD WORKS
.
In this little story, the Lord is not condemning good works.
.
The big point of this story is, that the Lord places a higher value on His people spending much time, listening to the life-giving words of the Bible, than in the mere performance of good works.
.
Listen… “Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet,
and a light unto my path…
Mine eyes prevent the night watches,
that I might meditate in Thy word….
I have esteemed the words of his mouth
more than my necessary food.”
Psalm 119:105, 148 & Job 23:12
.
And Martha’s bad attitude was exactly why it is of utmost importance to allow God’s Word to fill the heart and mind!
.
To vanquish away such pride, which obviously motivated Martha’s judgment against her sister!
.
But the fact is, to sit at the feet of Jesus and hear His Word, is the best “good works”.
.
Yes, to study the Bible, in hopes of finding any and every bit of information which will help us become more Christ-like: this is the ultimate, “Good Works”!
.
.
.
.
.
MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB
.
“Write, Blessed are they which are called
unto the marriage supper of the Lamb…
Revelation 19:9
.
God is just now calling all those who are willing to put away all their pre-occupation with the vain pleasures and ambitious pursuits of this world, and enter in!
.
Yes, God is about to serve a great feast: a feast of heaven-sent bread, and blood-red wine, and all varieties of heavenly fruit, grapes, and apples and pomegranates, dates, and figs, and “sincere milk”, and “butter & honey”, and “Lamb without blemish”, and fattened calves, and every other heavenly meat!
.
Yes, there are many who have nothing going, as far as this world is concerned!
.
Yes, anyone and everyone is invited!
.
Rich or poor alike!

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.
