Orion and the Pleiades constellations
orion77:
Are there other constellations mentioned in the bible? Is there a significance why Orion and the Pleiades are mentioned three times? Seek Him who made the Pleiades; also bands and cords mentioned in those verses.
Chuckt, I hear ya. How can one look at the stars, the billions of them and not see God. I live in a rural area, but I feel for people raised in the cities, who have never been able to enjoy His majesty.
(Psa 19:1) To the chief musician. A Psalm of David. The heavens are recounting the glory of God, and the expanse proclaiming His handiwork.
(Psa 19:2) Day by day they pour forth speech, and night to night reveals knowledge.
(Psa 19:3) There is no speech, nor are there words where their voice is not heard.
God bless,
Gary

a starting point . :?: :idea:
7 stars of Orion ( future light) in contrast to the seven Churches mentioned in Revelation Being One Church, Seven alway returns to One.
I did a partial study some time ago, but lost it to a virus. :cry:

what about the people in the Southern hemisphere? Are they without the gospel because they can not see all the same constellations in the North? Does God only love the people in the Northern hemisphere? Can one truly understand the gospel by just looking at the stars?

Hi euty,
This came to mind after reading your post. I'm quoting from Bullinger's book,
1. CRUX (The Cross)
The cross endured
6. Crux (the Cross)
The Hebrew name was Adom, which means cutting off, as in Daniel 9:26 "After threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off." The last letter of the Hebrew alphabet was called Tau, which was anciently made in the form of a cross. This letter is called Tau, and means a mark; especially a boundary mark, a limit or finish. And it is the last letter, which finishes the Hebrew alphabet to this day.
The Southern Cross was just visible in the latitude of Jerusalem at the time of the first coming of our Lord to die. Since then, through the gradual recession of the Polar Star, it has not been seen in northern latitudes. It gradually disappeared and became invisible at Jerusalem when the Real Sacrifice was offered there; and tradition, which preserved its memory, assured travellers that if they could go far enough south it would be again seen. Dante sang of "the four stars never beheld but by the early race of men." It was not until the sixteenth century had dawned that missionaries and voyagers, doubling the Cape for the first time, and visiting the tropics and southern seas, brought back the news of "a wonderful cross more glorious than all the constellations of the heavens."
It is a small asterism, containing only about five stars, viz., one of the 1st magnitude, two of the 2nd, one of the 3rd, and one of the 4th. Four of these are in the form of a cross.

Say God has put a sign in the stars, that were there before Adam and Eve, the great flood, the exodus from Egypt, the ministry of Jesus, and now in a time He decides to let this be seen. Something that bears witness towards Jesus, in the only things He said to do in His remembrance. Would that be interesting or taken as heretical?
