THE HOLY-GHOST-RIDER CONSTELLATION

.

.

.

.

.

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

.

It is primarily comprised of the Camelopardalis Constellation (head and upper back)…

.

…plus about 5 stars from the Cassiopeia Constellation (his leg)…

.

…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 vaguely 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, provided you have excellent star-watching conditions.

BIBLE VERSES PICTURED IN THE HEAVENS

.

 Notice how the right front hoof is trampling on the tail of the Dragon.

.

Also notice his eye is a star. It is 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 Goodly 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.

.

.

.

.

.

STAR CHARTS

.

Here are two charts. They are both the same chart, with this Holy-Ghost-Rider Constellation sketched in on the lower chart.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Chances are, unless the star-watching conditions are nearly perfect, the Reader might only see the back of the Rider, and the back of his leg.

.

The head and rear end are extremely difficult to see, except under the most excellent conditions.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

ANOTHER STAR-CHART

.

Here is a Wikipedia star-chart, in which the Editor has sketched in these three constellations.

.

Now, while Orion, the Goodly Horse, and the Revelation 12 Dragon are made of very prominent and highly visible stars…

.

…yet, the Holy Ghost Rider Constellation is very faint, for the most part.

.

Most of the “Rider Constellation” is from the Camelopardalis Constellation community of stars.

THE MILKY WAY RUNS THROUGH THIS HOLY-GHOST-RIDER

.

Now one thing that is noticeable and makes this constellation even more dramatic, is the fact that the Milky Way runs right through it.

.

And the question that must be asked is, “What biblical implications does this constellation/Milky Way connection have?”

.

Well, very simply put, if stars represent Believers, then this rider works in the world through His True-Worshippers, to a great extent.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

WHY IS THIS CONSTELLATION SO INCOMPLETE IN APPEARANCE

.

So why is this constellation merely an outline?

.

Well, it does show his back, rear end and leg…and arm.

.

But unlike, say, Orion, this constellation is very vague, even mysterious in appearance.

.

Almost vacant in appearance.

.

Yes, this horseman represents Christ.

.

But even more than this, it represents the Holy “Spirit of Christ”. Romans 8:9

.

And as we all know, the Holy Spirit is very, very, un-intrusive, almost impossible to detect His presence.

.

Hence, this constellation is perhaps the faintest of all the constellations of Signs Of Heaven!

.

.

A GENTLE BREEZE

.

“But the wisdom that is from above is first pure,

then peaceable, gentle,

and easy to be entreated,

full of mercy and good fruits,

without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 

And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace

of them that make peace.”

James 3:17, 18

.

.

.

.

“HE THAT HATH EARS TO HEAR”

.

“He that hath an ear,

let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches;”

Revelation 2:7, 11, 17, 29, 3:6, 13, 22

.

As you can easily see, this horse has some very big ears. Of course, this presents a very big concept.

.

And since this Rider represents the Holy Spirit, it is obvious that He is leaning close, as if to whisper His words in the horses’ ears.

.

And so what is He (The Spirit) whispering in this horse’s ears?

.

Well, primarily the messages to the 7 churches, found in Revelation Ch.’s, 2 & 3.

.

But not everyone has ears to hear. Listen to Ezekiel…

…”Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house,

which have eyes to see, and see not;

they have ears to hear, and hear not:

for they are a rebellious house.”

Ezekiel 12:2.

.

Yes, the rebellion amongst God’s professing people was great, and they had all but closed their ears from hearing truth.

.

Well it’s the very same problem in the New Testament.

.

Listen to Jesus… “If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.” Mark 7:16.

.

Now the great lesson to be learned, is that there are certain truths, which those who are rebellious in God’s house, will not be able to hear.

.

And these messages to the 7 churches are those very types of messages, that many “Christians” just do not like to hear.

.

.

.

.

.

But for those who are seeking for true unity with Christ, these signs will be an encouragement to follow the message connected with them.

.

And those who are willing carefully study this message, will ultimately see this message which was foretold in Luke 21:25-27…

…”And there shall be signs in the sun,

and in the moon,

and in the stars…

And then shall they see the Son of man

coming in a cloud with power and great glory.”

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

.

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 these people 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.
