We offer up a prayer of appeal
To Our Father in heaven
We all of us as his creation
All on earth and far beyond
For the wisdom
And understanding
Granted to Solomon

As his Almightiness displayed
In the courage of David
By Samson’s super strength
And Jesus Christ

Setting a civil example
For all our
Nations to live by

Prayer of Appeal Poet’s Poetry

Mapping The Stars

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!
