Mapping the Stars

Mapping the stars is done by their constellations. Learn the constellations and you’ll never get lost in the dark. You can use the direction of the constellations, such as the Dippers, to note the seasons as well.

For instance, in the summer, the Big Dipper’s handle faces up. In the fall, it’s closest to the horizon. In the winter, it starts to move away from the horizon with its handle facing down. Moreover, mapping the stars is a navigational tool. For instance, the Big Dipper is used as a starting point to all other constellations.

Reading the Stars & Constellations

Our Great Creator, “made all the stars—the Bear and Orion, the Pleiades” and other constellations of the sky.” (Job 9:9.) In other words, these creations are also the signs of the times. Furthermore, the North Star is the only star that appears to stay in one place. However, it does move. “He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.”- (Psalms 147:4.)

The Signs of the Times

Do you understand the signs of the times? (Matthew 16:3.) For instance, the Celestial Bear, or Great Bear Constellation, is visible on the northern horizon during late fall and early winter evenings.

Additionally, it’s a sign of the hibernation season approaching. Moreover, if you observe the behaviors of animals, many creatures of earth instinctively hibernate and sleep through the winter season.

Ancient & Modern Astronomy

Astronomy is the study of the sky. “Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades or loosen the belt of Orion?” (Job 38:31.) Moreover, one of the most distinguishing features of the Pleiades stars are their striking blue color, spotted from nearly every point on earth.

Wormwood

Wormwood is a possible reference of a star that fell from the sky. It’s written to have poisoned the land and water, thereby eradicating ancient civilizations. (Revelation 8:11.) Additionally, wormwood is a bitter plant that can cause hallucinations.

Furthermore, astronomy is the study of everything in the universe beyond Earth’s atmosphere. This includes objects we can see with our naked eyes, such as the sun, the moon, the planets, and the stars. These are creations, not gods. God is a Spirit.

Stargazing Stargazers

Additionally, astronomy is a rewarding occupational career choice! If you’re a natural stargazer, and love stargazing, then this is the field of focus for you. Do you know what your calling is? Get a nice telescope, and give astronomy a try. This is a great way to turn a hobby into a career. Mapping the stars is a stellar job!

Furthermore, ancient mortals utilized the Big and Little Dippers to navigate at night. For instance, Greek astronomer Thales used the Little Dipper stars to navigate. Thales was referenced by Aristotle.

Furthermore, the dragon tail “swept a third of the stars from the sky, tossing them to the earth,” (Revelation 12:4) suggests catastrophic celestial events that impact earthlings.

Mapping Draco the Dragon Constellation

First, Draco the Dragon looks more like a coiled snake than a dragon to the naked eye. (Isaiah 27:1) To locate the dragon, face the west and look for the brightest star you can see. Then note Vega, high in the western sky and the brightest star in the small constellation Lyra the Harp.

Finally, look a little to the right of Vega for a modestly bright trapezoid of four stars. As a result, these outline the head of the Dragon, and where to locate Draco’s brightest star, Eltanin.

Biblical astronomy suggests, that either Leviathan is another name for the dragon constellation. However, several versus imply that Leviathan was a fire breathing deep sea creature with scales, glowing eyes, and razor sharp teeth.

“Furthermore, Draco is circumpolar, meaning that it never sets below the horizon and is always visible in the Northern Hemisphere, but cannot be seen in the Southern Hemisphere.” – space.com.

The Book of Daniel

Remember the story of Daniel in the Lion’s Den? Additionally, Daniel was an ancient character known as “chief of magicians, enchanters, astrologers and diviners.” (Daniel 5:11.)

Moreover, Daniel was the only one out of all of them able to read and comprehend the handwriting on the wall. I presume he knew the names of all the constellations and about star charts as well. (Daniel 2:21)

Has a Shooting Star Ever Fallen on Anyone?

Yes. Humans are hit by fallen stars. Furthermore, the Pharaoh of Egypt was a leader along the Nile River, and called The Great Dragon. Moreover, Egypt has been hit with falling stars. Additionally, did you know that the Magi followed the star that led them to where Jesus was born? They were biblical astronomers.

Moreover, Jesus, known as the Son of God, whom by we who believe in the one who sent him, also told of solar and lunar eclipses, as well as the stars falling from the sky. (Matthew 24:29.)

Furthermore, keep watch, pay attention to the signs of the times, and praise our Almighty Creator, now and forever more for providing us with His wisdom and understanding. Finally, the Big Dipper is a celestial compass, clock, calendar and ruler. Click here to learn how to use it!

Coinage Exposes the Beast of Revelation and the Dragon who gave him his Power

History is told in more than books. It’s also documented by ancient and modern coinage. Has coinage exposed the beast of revelation?

Yes! For instance, the verse stating, “so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark—the name of the beast or the number of its name,” (Revelation 13:17,) is an ancient reference to coinage.

How so? What is the requirement for anyone to buy or sell? For instance, Jesus examined a Roman Denarius, because Rome invaded Israel in his time.

Bartering is the most primitive form of trade. For instance, Jacob refused to assist Esau without a trade. Interestingly, a tribe in the world still utilize yams as their currency.

Assyrian King Ashurbanipal

First, it’s important to acknowledge how the Holy Bible is a book of books that came from the East to the West. Second, Jesus genealogy begins with the book of Genesis, and is history of the behaviors and cultures of ancient tribes/peoples in Africa and the Middle East.

This is how Muslims, Jews, and Christians all share the same Old Testaments, hence our modern day Abraham Accords.

Egyptians were condemned twice for partaking in slavery, first in Exodus, and again in Revelation. It’s still the only continent that profits from exporting all forms of ivory.

Egypt was a prostitute, or Mystery Babylon. Slavery still takes place in parts of Africa today. Albino black folks are still hunted for their body parts as well.

Furthermore, coinage was a practice in the East introduced to the West. Money is made of minerals and plants the same as medicine. Native Americans utilized trade among tribes long before coinage became mainstream.

Biblical References

“Here is a call for wisdom: Let the one who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and that number is 666.” (Revelation 13:18.)

In other words, the Assyrian King Ashurbanipal reigned from 668 to 627BC. To be clear, 666 in the bible is a number referencing a date, a year to be exact. The mark of the beast is coinage.

“The Assyrian king Ashurbanipal decorated the walls of his palace with realistic carvings of his lion hunts, and such imagery strongly influenced the royal iconography of many ancient empires.” – coinweek

Coin collecting is the king of hobbies and hobby of kings. The Beast of Revelation was a King, a brutal dictator in the Middle East, who was so big-headed that he killed anyone for disagreeing with him.

However, all humans still run and hide from the path of the wrath of nature the same as any other creature, regardless of our own entitlements. Furthermore, it’s by the grace of God we’re empowered to assist one another through any calamities. Joseph for instance, who saved more than just Egypt.

Speech in the Holy Bible

Bible speech interprets both figuratively and literally. This is why it’s difficult for so many to understand it as Middle Eastern history.

For instance, some people perceive the apocalyptic horsemen in Revelation 13 literally, as men on horses, when in fact it may actually be a reference to volcanoes.

Furthermore, all throughout biblical texts it’s evident, in poetic form, that humans don’t get to command nature and make it obey without question. That’s how only God is Supreme.

Entire civilizations were wiped out by natural catastrophic events. This is the reference to the day of the Lord. In modern times USA schools describe extended snow days as “acts of God.” Furthermore, it’s true that God is a spirit with feelings too, hence the first commandment.

Jesus is King of Revelations

Jesus is a legitimate King of Israel and beyond. He’s the one who taught appropriate socially constructive behavior to humans. For instance, he didn’t teach us not to judge at all but to judge with sound judgment. He didn’t reign over people, but was of service to them.

Furthermore, every creature of nature displays self defense mechanisms. This is what was implied when Christ said, “In everything, then, do to others as you would have them do to you. For this is the essence of the Law and the Prophets.”

Jonah's Tomb and a Hidden Palace

Obviously my opinions and views are my own, and everyone has their own point of view. It’s okay to disagree with me. There are many people in the world who don’t understand the Holy Bible as history of peoples in Africa and the Middle East. However, I think understanding it provides insight for how the East has influenced the West.

Furthermore, African slavery didn’t derive in Native America anymore than coins did. Yet, Native Americans were aware of “one creator” as “The Great Spirit,” long before the scriptures made their way to West.

“They raise their voices, they shout for joy; from the west they proclaim the majesty of the LORD. Therefore glorify the LORD in the east!” – Isaiah 24:14.

Jonah’s tomb destroyed by ISIS exposed the Assyrian Empire. Moreover, it was a revelation to the rest of world how the Holy Bible is no fantasy book. Indeed, it’s global history!

Ashurbanipal was the final Assyrian King or seven headed Beast of Revelation with ten horns. Furthermore, the Pharaoh of Egypt was the dragon. Pharaoh was the dragon of the nile who gave his power to the beast. (Revelation 13:4.) In other words, everyone worshipped his image and empire.

Proverbs 16:16 implies “wisdom and understanding is better than silver and gold.” In other words, solutions are what solve problems. Furthermore, obtaining the former enables one to retrieve the latter.
