God’s Message in the Stars
The heavens declare the glory of God
Isaiah 47:11-13 But evil will come on you Which you will not know how to
charm away; and disaster will fall on you for which you cannot atone, and
destruction about which you do not know will come on you suddenly. 12
"Stand fast now in your spells and in your many sorceries with which you
have labored from your youth; perhaps you will be able to profit, perhaps
you may cause trembling. 13 "You are wearied with your many counsels;
let now the astrologers, those who prophesy by the stars, those who
predict by the new moons, stand up and save you from what will come
upon you.
Deuteronomy 4:19 When you look up to the sky and see the sun, moon,
and stars—the whole heavenly creation—you must not be seduced to
worship and serve them, for the Lord your God has assigned them to all
the people of the world.
Any Israelite who served or worshiped the sun, moon, or stars
was condemned to death under the Mosaic Law (Deut. 17:2-4).
Romans 10:13-18 … for "Whoever will call upon the name of the LORD
will be saved." 14) How then shall they call upon Him in whom they have
not believed? And how shall they believe in Him whom they have not
heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? 15) And how shall
they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, "How beautiful are
the feet of those who bring glad tidings of good things!" 16) However, they
did not all heed the glad tidings; for Isaiah says, "LORD, who has believed
our report?" 17) So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of
Christ. 18) But I say, surely they have never heard, have they? Indeed they
have; "Their voice has gone out into all the earth, And their words to the
ends of the world."
Psalm 19:1-4 [Title] To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
The heavens declares the glory of God; and the firmament
shows His handiwork.
2) Day to day utters speech, and night to night reveals
knowledge.
3) There is no speech, nor language; their voice is not heard.
[Their message is not audible]
4) Their line [voice] has gone out through all the earth, and
their utterances to the end of the world. In them He has placed
a tent for the sun,
Genesis 1:14 Then God said, "Let there be lights in
the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from
the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons
and for days and years.”
Signs convey information, they can
warn a person of danger and give
direction and guidance.
Touching this image will not harm
you but drinking something with this
image on its label could kill you.
Signs can communicate without using words.
THESE SIGNS CONTAIN NO LETTERS OR
WORDS, CAN YOU READ THEM ?
HOW ABOUT THESE?
CAN YOU READ THIS SIGN?
What would you do if you saw this sign”
Psalm 89:37 It [God’s covenant] shall be
established forever like the moon, and
THE WITNESS IN THE SKY IS FAITHFUL.
One could say that the constellations that are formed
by stars, show a picture-story of the gospel that
everyone can understand. You might even call it
“sign language”.

THE MILKY WAY
GALAXY.
GALAXY:
A large system of
millions to hundreds of
billions of stars.

The sun is an average size

emits its own light.
EARTH
The sun is so large that it
would take over 100,000
earths placed side by

diameter of the sun!
Four million tons of the
suns matter is changed
into energy every
second.
