Do you know that you’ve already been redeemed by The Messiah?
If you believe—in your heart—and confess—with your mouth—that Yeshua died for the sin of the world and rose on the third day, snatching the victory from Death and Hell and then ascended to the Throne to sit at His Father’s right hand in eternal majesty and glory?
Do you believe in the power, the righteousness and the love of Jeshua?
If so, you are sealed on the forehead, marked for consecration by God Himself. You are delivered from wrath and judgment and the second death, which is eternal separation from God.
But did you know you are “Signed”?
Wait, hear me out.
If you haven’t heard the buzz by now about the GREAT SIGN of Revelation 12, let me give you the backstory.
It seems that about every two millennia there’s a great sign in the Shamayim (the Heavens); it’s like God’s billboard.
About 2000 years ago, a great star appeared in the night skies over Bethlehem to herald the birth of the Messiah; the King of Kings from the line of David, the Lion of Judah.
Two thousand years before that, there appeared a great sign that marked the birth of Abraham (then Avram). According to the book of Jasher, a very large star came from the east and ran in the Shamaym, swallowing up 4 stars from the four sides of the Heavens. The rest of the story is how Abraham was hunted by the tyrannical Babylonian king Nimrod, who desperately wanted to slay the infant his astrologers had deemed special in God’s sight, after witnessing the celestial event.
Sounds very familiar, right? King Herod also sought One born under a great star in the Heavens, and He too, had to be spirited away to safety.
So, I believe it’s safe to say that God announces some of His biggest plans with a great sign in the Heavens.
After all, He made the Heavens, right? And neither Man not the Devil can alter the Cosmic Clockwork.
If you stop to look up on a starlit night, you can’t help but wonder why. WHY all this great, glittering expanse? Why the shapes of the constellations?
Well, I’m glad you asked.
For those who rebuke the ecliptic constellations as nothing more than the infernal instruments of astrology, let me say this: God made those constellations. And He mentions some of them by name in the oldest book in the Bible—The Book of Job:
“Canst thou bind the sweet influences of the Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? Canst thou bring forth Mazzoroth in his season? Or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?”
In other words, YHWH made the Heavens. And he can do with them as He pleases.
Indeed, the Mazzaroth- in Hebrew—means “constellation”. And by watching the procession of the shapes made by the stars through the night sky, the ancient people determined planting seasons and navigated both by sea and land. The stars were not to be worshipped (the Devil actually warped ancient astronomy into “astrology” with the vain notion that the stars determined personal fate and fortune, and not that they actually “speak” of Yeshua, Redemption of Man, and Eternal Glory).
He gave us a head’s up in the first book of the Bible—Genesis—
“And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for SIGNS, and for seasons (moedim), and for days and years…”
Yes. SIGNS. As in, something to witness with the eyes and discern its meaning,
Now, to get back to the Revelation 12 Sign.
Let me remind you of the verse—
“And there appeared a great wonder in Heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars. And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered…”
According to the Hebrew Mazzaroth, Virgo is the first of the 12 ecliptic constellations (meaning those that the sun travels through throughout the year). These constellations are identical to our modern zodiac. (Note: For more, I suggest the book, “The Gospel in the Stars”). Virgo, holds a stalk of wheat in one hand and a branch in the other. Indeed, the star that indicates her hand is named Spica, which means “The Branch”. (This plant of harvest represents the Seed of Woman. In other words, the “Virgin Birth”, since women do not possess seed).
Have I lost you yet? Hold on, there’s more…. (so much info, and so little times, my friends…)
In September and October of every year, the sun remains at her shoulder—“clothing” her.
The moon pirouettes past the feet of Virgo. Quite often, actually.
Above her head in the Heavens is the constellation Leo—the nine-starred luminary lion and last constellation of the Mazzaroth.
Wait, nine stars, right? Well, there’s one special day when three “wandering stars” (as they were called long ago) will line up in conjunction with the Lion. These wanderers are Mercury, Mars and Venus, and they will complete the crown of twelve stars on the Virgin’s head.
But wait, there’s more!
The Virgin is pregnant.
Yes. Jupiter entered the “womb” of Virgo in late November / early December 2016; where the King Planet has been slowly moving in retrograde motion for months…
…And will do so, like a human fetus, until Jupiter is :born” after nine months, exiting between the leg of Virgo…
…On September 23, 2017.
The sign is extraordinary. Two thousand years ago, John of Patmos wrote what Yeshua had revealed to him so that we would know it when it occurred and more importantly, know that He who revealed it is The Lord.
This sign is unique— it has NEVER. HAPPENED. BEFORE.
Thanks to astronomy computer software like Stellarium and websites like The Sky Live, this Great Wonder was discovered approximately 6 years ago; predominant prophecy studies were pioneered by Scott Clarke – known from his YouTube videos on the topic.
I said this Great Sign has never occurred before, right?
Utilizing the astronomy software, many (including myself) have “traveled back in time” for six thousand years to determine if this celestial event has ever occurred. And I can tell you with certainty that all the key components detailed within the first verse of Revelation Chapter 12 have not appeared in the Shamayim for 6000 years.
Those key components being the locations of the sun at the shoulder of Virgo; the moon under the “feet: of the constellation. The “crown” having it’s full twelve stars. And of course, Jupiter is not in the womb for the average gestation period of a human infant.
(That was a long night, and a lot of coffee, my friends).
Moreover, those who have the software have also looked ahead a millennia—and do you know what? The configuration of heavenly bodies does not occur at all.
THIS IS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME EVENT.
And it occurs in 17 days.
On the Feast of Trumpets.
An appointed time (moedim) on God’s calendar.
September 23, 2017.
As believers, we are signed, sealed and will be delivered directly to the throne room of God.
Amen!
