“God…Which alone spreads out the heavens…
.
Which makes Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades…
.
Which does great things past finding out;
.
…Can you bind the sweet influences of the Pleiades?
.
Job 9:2-10 & 38:31
.
.
.

.
.
This photo is the Pleiades Cluster.
.
Does it appear to you like an angel?
.
Well, if it does, then you are encouraged to keep reading.
.
The above two verses concerning the Pleiades are all the Bible has to directly say about the Pleiades.
.
But if you read this article, you will discover that the Pleiades represents concepts which span much of the Bible!
.
And The Heavens Declare.net will attempt to unravel this mysterious phenomenon in the night-sky.

TALE OF TWO WOMEN
.
You see, this constellation tells the tale of two women!
.
But how can it be, that nobody has ever seen the Pleiades as a constellation of a woman?
.
This article will discuss this great paradox of these two women, found in the Pleiades, and what it means scripturally to us…
…to we who comprise the global community of Christians.
.
Because this constellation (or should we say Constellations, plural), has very much to do with us…
.
…with those of us who are living right now on the threshold of eternity.
.
And as you might expect, if you are at all familiar with this website, the Bible holds the key to understanding all this!
.
.
.

.
DOUBLE-SIDED TRUTH
.
There is a double-sided truth to this mysterious star-cluster.
.
It is to be hated on the one hand!
.
But on the other hand, it is to be loved!
But you’ll have to read this article in order to comprehend this amazing paradox which God has placed in the heavens on Creation Week.
.
So read on and discover the double-sided meaning to this.

STRING OF PEARLS
.
But also notice in the photo of the Pleiades to the left, that this cluster of stars also appears as if somebody put a handful of pearls on a table.
.
Or perhaps a handful of sparkling diamonds!
.
And so, just as the Pleiades is like a cluster of pearls, so too is this article.
.
This is because we will present a cluster of seemingly different, even unrelated ideas.
.
But when all is presented, then will they be strung together to present a most beautiful and precious truth!

FIRST FIND HEAD AND TAIL TIP
.
Now, this sketch is also of the Revelation 12 Dragon.
.
And with very careful examination, it becomes apparent that the Pleiades is actually the tassel-tip of the Dragon’s tail.
.
The body and tail of the Revelation 12 Dragon is wrapped around in an oval shape.
.
So, if you find the Dragon’s mouth, and the Pleiades being the tassel of the Dragon’s tail, it becomes noticeable that the Dragon has a body and legs much like a crocodile or alligator.
.
As a matter of fact, the main body of this dragon is two-dimensional, unlike most constellations that pagan cultures saw, many being mere “stick-figures” like this photo of Draco.
.
But to see the body of the Revelation 12 Dragon, you really need to be away from city lights.
.
So first find the mouth and tail-tassel of this dragon, before you attempt to locate the body.
.

LOCATING THE DRAGON of REVELATION 12 CONSTELLATION .
.
This star-chart from Wikipedia shows this constellation group as they appear above the eastern horizon.
.
The Revelation 12 Dragon Constellation can be located by finding Orion in winter months.
.
The Dragon is to Orion’s left, and the Dragon’s mouth is right next to Orion’s shield.

“Can you bind the sweet influences of Pleiades…”
Job 38:31-33 (Condensed)
.
So, what does the above verse mean, when it says, “Can you bind the sweet influences of the Pleiades?…
.
And speaking of sweet, just listen to this verse from Proverbs…
“Stolen waters are sweet…
But he knows not that the dead are there;
and that her (the Adulterous Woman) guests are in the depths of Hell.”
Proverbs 9:17, 18.
.
All through Scripture, this adulterous woman keeps popping up.
.
Actually, there are two women who constantly appear: one being an adulterous Woman and the other is the virtuous Woman.
.
One woman symbolizes the apostate portion of the Church and the other woman, the faithful portion of God’s Church.
.
“Waters” in the Bible can symbolize God’s truth.
.
So “stolen waters”, simply put…are the sins and lies of the Devil.
.
So when Scripture says that “stolen waters are sweet”, it merely seems to be saying, that sin can taste really good.
.
And the sweetness of sin, is very habit-forming and alluring, and exerts a strong influence on people.
.
But the problem with sin is, that those who have been deceived by the Devil are spoken of as being in the depths of Hell…right here on Earth!
.
And, all this is spoken of, here in Proverbs concerning this apostate woman, symbolizing the deceitfulness of sin, especially among God’s people.

BREAD OF DECEIT IS SWEET
.
“Bread of deceit is SWEET to a man;
but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.”
Proverbs 20:17.
.
So, the bread of deceit is sweet.
.
And put this verse together with, “Can you bind the sweet influences of Pleiades?“, and a greater understanding of all this is achieved.
.
Binding “the sweet influences of the Pleiades” most likely has to do with binding the sweet influences of sin, compared to bread, but also to sweet, stolen waters.

“IN THE DEPTHS OF HELL”
.
But the verse above from Proverbs 9 says that the guests of the adulterous woman are in Hell.
.
Listen again…”Stolen waters are sweet…
But he knows not that the dead are there;
and that her (the wicked Woman) guests are in the depths of Hell.”
Proverbs 9:17, 18.
.
So where is Hell? Well, as already discussed, this adulterous woman represents the apostate portion of God’s professed people.
.
And where are the guests of the apostate portion of the Church?
.
In the depths of Hell (spiritual darkness).
.
Now of course, Hell can also be referring to the grave.
.
Hell in Hebrew is “Sheol” and is often translated as “the grave”.

WHAT DID HENRY SAY?
.
Matthew Henry, when commenting on this particular verse (“The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from Hell beneath.” Proverbs 15:24), Henry made this following revealing statement…
…”A good man sets his affections on things above,
and deals in those things.
His conversation (lifestyle) is in Heaven;
his way leads directly thither;
there his treasure is, above,
out of the reach of enemies,
above the changes OF THIS LOWER WORLD.”
.
So, from this comment, it can be concluded that Henry likewise saw that this proverb was speaking of “this lower world” as the “Hell below”, from which a Christian pilgrim must depart from.

PAUL FINALLY REVEALS WHAT THESE TWO WOMEN REPRESENT
.
But let’s backtrack for a moment and get further confirmation concerning these two women of
Scripture.
.
The Bible makes it abundantly clear that women are quite often a symbol of the Church: and adulterous woman, symbolizing the Church-Apostate…
.
…and a virtuous woman, symbolizing the Church-Faithful.
.
Paul makes the most incredible and bold comparison of Abraham’s wife, Sarah, and her handmaid, Hagar, to the Old and New Covenants!
.
Paul really lays all out for us to see, comparing Sarah to the Church-Faithful, and Hagar to the Church-Apostate.
.
Just listen carefully to the below passage…
“Which things (Sarah & Hagar) are an allegory:
for these are the two covenants;
the one from the mount Sinai,
which genders to bondage, which is Hagar.
For this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia,
and answers to Jerusalem which now is,
and is in bondage with her children.
But Jerusalem which is above is free,
which is the mother of us all.”
Galatians 4:24-26
.
This is the great recurring theme in Scripture: two women, a virtuous woman and an adulterous, whorish woman, symbolizing the two portions of the Church.

WHO’S CREEPING INTO HOUSES?
.
Listen to the first part of 2nd Timothy…
…”This know also,
that in the last days perilous times shall come.
For men shall be lovers of their own selves,
covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers…
highminded, lovers of pleasures
more than lovers of God;
Having a form of godliness,
but denying the power thereof:
from such turn away.”
2nd Timothy 3:2, 5
.
This abbreviated description speaks of those who are steeped in all the garden-variety of sins which humanity shares in common.
.
These are the ones who “lead captive, silly women, laden with sins, ever learning, but never able to come to the knowledge of truth”! 2nd Timothy 3:6, 7
.
This is speaking of churches, not literal women.
.
And Satan’s minions are leading churches away from the purity and holiness of Christ, and into world-loving doctrines!

DELIVERANCE TO THE CAPTIVES
.
Listen to the words of the Lord Jesus…
…”The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
because He hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor;
He hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted,
TO PREACH DELIVERANCE TO THE CAPTIVES…”
Matthew 4:18, 19 (Condensed)
.
Yes, Jesus came to this Earth to set us free from the Devil’s prison-house of sin and selfishness.
.
But is there any further proof that we are on the right track concerning this Dragon’s tail representing people?

WHY THE “GOODLY HORSE” CONSTELLATION?…
.
AND WHY IS HE STOMPING THE DRAGON’S TAIL?
.
Before we discuss the Horse, we might want to introduce all four participants in the Winter Constellation Group.
.
If you look in the winter skies, you just might locate these four constellations.
.
They are a dramatic heavenly portrait of the great battle between good and evil.
.
Here are the players in this grand drama, written in the starry night skies…
1. Christ (Orion),
.
2. the Devil (the Dragon Constellation), and
.
3. God’s Army (the Horse)...and
.
4. God’s people (symbolized by the Woman Constellation, commonly known as Ursa Major).
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
JEZEBEL STOMPED BY HORSES
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
.
.
.
.
.
BUT WHAT DOES THE DRAGON’S TAIL SYMBOLIZE?
.
HORSE TRAMPLES TAIL BUT GAZES AT THE TIP…
The puzzling thing about all this is that the Horse Constellation is not trampling the Pleiades.
.
Rather, the Horse Constellation seems to be glaring at the Pleiades while he’s trampling the lower part of the Dragon’s tail.
.
It’s almost as if the Glorious Horse is trying to rescue the Pleiades.
.
Perhaps the Pleiades represents the portion of God’s people who have been taken captive by Satan. .
.
Perhaps the Pleiades represents those who have been deceived by Satan’s lies.
.
Listen to what God states in 2 Timothy…
“…Be gentle, apt to teach
if God peradventure will give them repentance
to the acknowledging of the truth;
And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil,
who are taken captive by him at his will.”
2nd Timothy 2:25, 26 (Condensed)
.
.
.
.
.
.
THOSE TAKEN CAPTIVE BY SATAN…
.
We see from the above verse that God’s people are to gently and meekly encourage those who have fallen away, to return to the Lord.
.
Just look how this Captive Angel seems to be slowly and sadly descending down this pathway to destruction.
.
Those who began in the truth, but who are still living for the world, are now in error.
.
Apostate Christians do not realize they are on the road to ruin.
.
Listen…“Because thou sayest,
I am rich, and increased with goods,
and have need of nothing;
and knowest not that thou art wretched,
and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:”
Revelation 3:17
.
They may still faithfully attend a local congregation.
.
They may even hold various church offices.
.
They may be respected members of the community.
.
But their hearts have been entangled in worldly pursuits and earthly pleasures.
.
And slowly they have become prisoners of Satan, locked in by spiritual blindness to his Babylonish-counterfeit-Christianity.
.
.
.
.
.
GOD’S PEOPLE TAKEN CAPTIVE
.
“And I heard another voice from heaven,
saying, Come out of her (Babylon), My people,
that ye be not partakers of her sins,
and that ye receive not of her plagues.”
Revelation 18:4
.
God has a people in Babylon.
.
Yes, Mystery Babylon is the Mother of Harlots.
.
This sketch shows her riding this beast with 7 heads and 10 horns.
.
But in that spiritual city, there are those who still love God to a certain degree.
.
And before the final plagues are poured out upon her, God has been and will continue to call His people out of her… “Come out of her (Babylon), My people…” Revelation 18:4
.
And so, in addition to The Pleiades appearing as the Harlot Mother…
.
…we also see this second depiction of The Pleiades as an angel…
.
…which symbolizes God’s people, walking the downward pathway to destruction.
.
They must be called out of Babylon before it’s too late!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
MOST AMAZING CONSTELLATIONS!
.
And if you are fortunate enough to see the Pleiades, and how they are connected to the Dragon of Revelation 12 Constellation…
.
…it will be a testament to you and me both, that there are many who have been taken captive at Satan’s will.
.
And likewise, if you are fortunate enough to locate this Magnificent Horse & Rider in the night sky…
.
…you will know with certainty that God is giving us, not only a most awesome message…
.
…but also a wonderful truth about our seeking after the “Lost Ones”, both in the world, but also in the Church.

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.
