Thanks for reposting this Andy!
Sandi--I want to repost here what you posed in its own thread --so it is easier to find for future searches.

quote
In Revelation chapter 12, apparently at the mid-point of the Tribulation time, John gives an astronomical description that fits celestial events that will be in place several years into the future, within the prophetic framework and window that Christ has indicated He would return in.

We are going to look at some Scriptural guidelines, the celestial events, timeline and dates, thoughts as to whether they are symbolic or not, and then some concluding thoughts to dwell on.

Scriptural Guidelines
Christ told His disciples that the event that would mark the start of the end times countdown would be the re-formation of Israel (which happened in 1948). He then told His disciples that the same generation that saw this one event would also see the end of the prophetic events that He described to them - which included the Tribulation. He also told them that He would return for His saints (the Rapture) sometime within this generation, although He told them that no man knows that date.

In addition to the start event, He had clarified in previous scriptures that an average lifespan of a man is seventy years, eighty if they are healthy and strong (Psalm 90:10). So, here we are in 2013, with Israel having just celebrated their 65th anniversary. Keep in mind that some of this generation will also see the Tribulation, so we have to add that additional 7-year segment. This means we have just a few years maximum for Christ to return in. unquote

Re: Signs in the heavens

VERY good point!
Re-pinning it.

Re: Signs in the heavens

Hope we do not lose track of this thread given the blood moon expected in 2014/15

Re: Signs in the heavens

I think we have too many pinned threads - going to unpin this one.
It's pretty easy to do a forum search if something comes up that someone wants to post in this thread. Just put in, "Signs in the heavens" (quotes included) and you'll find this thread.

Re: Signs in the heavens

I just heard about the constellation alignment in Sept 2017 a few days ago. Quite fascinating and interesting! This along with the blood moon dates coming up, the Star of David alignment in July (the last time it appeared was the end of world war II) and now Delphinus, there just has to be something to it. Only God knows for sure exactly what it all means to Him. Sure makes me smile thinking of some possibilities

Kinda freaking / geeking out over this …


from http://spaceweather.com/

A NEW STAR IN THE SKY: Around the world, amateur astronomers are turning their telescopes toward minor constellation Delphinus where a new star has appeared. Koichi Itagaki of Yamagata, Japan, discovered the nova on August 14th. At the time, the stellar brightness was +6.3. Since then it has continued to brighten, crossing the 6th magnitude threshold of naked-eye visibility. John Chumack photographed the surging nova on August 15th from the John Bryan State Park in Yellow Springs, Ohio:



"The nova is hard to see naked eye unless you are in a very dark sky and know exactly where to look," says Chumack, "but this is a very bright nova visible in binoculars." He used a 16-inch Newtonian telescope to take the picture.

Backyard astronomers who wish to see this nova should point their GOTO telescopes to coordinates 20:23:30.7, +20:46:06 (J2000). More information and updates are available from Sky and Telescope.

What Bulinger has on this constellation where the new star is becoming visible:

3. DELPHINUS (The Dolphin)
The dead one rising again

17. Sagitta (the Arrow)
Aquila (the Eagle)
Delphinus (the Dolphin)

This is a bright cluster of 18 stars, five of which are of the 3rd magnitude. It is easily distinguished by the four brightest, which are in the head.
It is always figured as a fish full of life, and always with the head upwards, just as the eagle is always with the head downwards. The great peculiar characteristic of the dolphin is its rising up, leaping, and springing out of the sea.

When we compare this with the dying goat and falling eagle, what conclusion can we come to but that we have here the filling in of the picture, and the completion of the whole truth set forth in CAPRICORNUS?

Jesus "died and rose again." Apart from His resurrection His death is without result. In His conflict with the enemy it is only His coming again in glory which is shown forth. But here, in connection with His people, with the multitudes of His redeemed, Resurrection is the great and important truth. He is "the first-fruits of them that slept"; then He, too, is here represented as a fish. He who went down into the waters of death for His people; He who could say "All thy waves and thy billows are gone over me" (Psa 42:7), He it is who rises up again from the dead, having died on account of the sins of His redeemed, and risen again on account of their justification (Rom 4:25).


The ancient names connected with this constellation are Dalaph (Hebrew), pouring out of water; Dalaph (Arabic),coming quickly; Scalooin (Arabic), swift (as the flow of water); Rotaneb or Rotaneu (Syriac and Chaldee), swiftly running.

I hold to the idea that in the book of Jonah Jesus is the fish (and possibly why the fish was an early Christian symbol.)
That Jonah died in the fish’s belly and was resurrected upon his being spit out. The idea is foreshadow of us dying and rising
Again in Christ as Jonah in the fish’s belly. This constellation in my head is a reminder of that.

Kipling 1898:
[QUOTE]OH, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet,
Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God’s great Judgment Seat;
But there is neither East nor West, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth,
When two strong men stand face to face, tho’ they come from the ends of the earth![/QUOTE]

Was Kipling a prophet? or maybe he read his Bible?

btw, I thought that China was west

Re: Signs in the heavens

John --No I am not thinking that but some estimates of 200 million Christians exist in China---I am wondering if they will have a role in the end times to carry the torch if the Lord tarries and the baton is passed from North America , eastward. Our culture is is hopelessly gone unless a severe mercy by God wakes it to the truth. I guess those were some of my thoughts.

Ok, I was a bit concerned there. God has something planned for all, whether in the forefront or not. My daughter and a classmate along with a teacher were involved in a balloon launch north a number of weeks ago, it didn't go well as the winds weren't cooperating, but we may never know how much impact the 8 or so balloons did have.

Re: Signs in the heavens

I think if the mid point to trib is 2017 because of REv 12 ref to Mary/Israel
and because the constellations demonstrate this in 2017---so if we back up 42 mnths (31/2 years) to the start of the 7 years ---then I think that is spring 2014---so could we be very close right now? or our we wrong.

I have always wondered about a gap between the rapture and trib.
The time of Jacobs Trouble is the last 31/2 years of trib. I am reassessing all of this from what we discussed a long time ago.

Whether he comes between now and spring or whether we will see the rise of China and the raising up of their 200 million christians which they already have, I do not know---but I know one day He will come for us and I stake everything on that, I think we have lost our christian foundations in the west and are headed for bondage/serfdom and unrest, but I know I have to continue to teach the Word and rescue some.

Are you saying you believe the army of 200 million in Rev 9:16 are Christians?
