Signs In The Sky And The End Times
How the Signs in the Sky Confirm Scripture’s End-Times Roadmap
Ron Allen
The
New Year is a good time for most of us to look ahead.
The
stars of the Zodiacal constellation Aries (The Ram), which are visible overhead
in the evening, give a useful roadmap to the future.
Aries
itself is a picture of a slain lamb, as attested by the name of its two
distinctive stars El Nath (Wounded) and Sheratan (Bruised).
However,
this is not a picture of defeat, but of victory.
This
is the Lamb of Revelation 6, found worthy to open the seals of the future.
Aries represents the promised victory of Christ.
The
defeated enemies of Christ are shown in the constellations Cetus (The Sea
Monster) and Perseus (The Breaker).
Cetus
is a picture of the seven-headed beast of Revelation 13 and 17, representing
the nations which have fought against God.
The
feet of Cetus are in the constellation Eridanus (The River of Fire), a fate
promised to God's enemies in Revelation 21.
The
future of the leaders of the national rebellion against God and the Anti-Christ
himself is shown in the constellation Perseus (The Breaker).
Perseus
is pictured as a man, symbolic of Christ, carrying the severed head of the evil
one, as represented by the star Algol (Evil Spirit).
As
God has promised to destroy His enemies, so He has promised to restore His
chosen people Israel.
The
nation has suffered much for its rejection of Christ, as pictured in the
constellation Andromeda (The Chained Woman).
Yet
the constellation Cassiopeia (the Enthroned Woman) tells us that God will keep
His promise to make Jerusalem the capital of the world (Isaiah 60:1-12).
If
you take your binoculars and look directly overhead at about 9:00 PM, you will
see the constellation Perseus.
Following
the westernmost arc of stars in Perseus toward the south you will see the
famous Pleiades star cluster, which is part of the Taurus (The Bull)
constellation telling of the return of Christ.
Just
to the west of the Pleiades is Aries, which is recognizable by its two bright
stars El Nath (Wounded) and Sheratan (Bruised).
Just
to the south of Aries are the fairly faint stars of Cetus.
And
finally, the distinctive "W" of stars in Cassiopeia appears to the
north of the Zenith point.
The
stars of the Promised Victory are not as bright as the stars of the Second
Coming, represented by such bright constellations as Orion (Coming Forth as
Light) which are rising in the East.
But
they tell a beautiful and powerful story, and give us hope that a brighter day
is coming.
As
a special treat, on December 30 the moon, representing the believers (Psalm 89:37),
will cover the bright star Aldebran (The Governor) and part of the Hyades (The
Congregated) star cluster.
By
joining with Aldebaran, picturing the return of Christ in power, and the
Hyades, representing the saints returning with Him (Jude 14-15),
the Moon conveys the same message that we will join Christ in victory.
In
the end, we win.
