Psalm 19: Tehillim l'El Elyon

The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament tells of His handiwork.

Got up at 04:00 to go out in the backyard and lay down to watch some of the Perseid meteor shower.  There were a few really great streaks across the sky.  Pretty nice, considering we are in the mountains and surrounded by trees.  We can see barely 40% of the sky.

I wish I could remember more about what I've learned of the stars.  The gospel story is in the stars. That's what Genesis 15:5,6 is really all about. (Cross reference Galatians 3). The zodiac and astrology are a corruption of that gospel message, and so it is difficult to get believers to understand that God put his gospel message in the stars. Most people are unaware that prior to the first century, many synagogues were built by the Jews with the "zodiac" symbols in mosaic form in the floor.  They understood the 12 constellations to be representative of the 12 tribes of Israel.

Because there is much to understand, much has been misunderstood.  What a shame.
