“canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?”
Job 38:32
.
.
.
.
In the not-too-distant future, the form of this presently sad world-system will come to its final end.
.
And for those who persevere through the coming, “Time of Jacob’s Trouble”, there will be the final reward of entering into the Promised Land, which God has prepared for all them that love Him.
.
And it’s a wonderful land, in which the everlasting hills will resound with the joyful noise of laughter and of singing, and of distant bells ringing in triumph of life-everlasting!

HOW SHOULD WE PREPARE?
.
And God is now asking His people to finish our prepa
ration for that wonderful Promised Paradise.
.
Yes, He is calling us out of Babylon, the world.
.
And He is wanting us to purify our hearts from all the Babylonish confusion which we once thought to be, “normal”, and instead, to renew our minds with the pure knowledge of goodness, which all the rest of His universe lives by.

THE SIGNS OF HEAVEN
.
At this hour, God is now revealing the signs, in the Sun, Moon, and Stars, as foretold in Luke…“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;” Luke 21:25
.
Yes, God is now revealing that He has placed the stars in such a way, that the constellations reveal, not only the Gospel story of Salvation, but also reveal the much-needed instructions for God’s people at this present frightful hour!

WHAT OTHER REASON?
.
Now, beside the great heavenly message that these heavenly signs reveal, could there be another reason for God wanting us to study these heavenly constellations?

A HEAVENLY COMPASS
.
Is it possible that God wants His people to familiarize themselves with this heavenly message, so that they might know where these signs are, as a literal guiding lights through the literal wilderness?
.
In other words, could it be that some, or perhaps many Believers may be forced out of society, and into the wilderness?
.
And after becoming very familiar with these constellations and stars, might the Believers have to navigate themselves through the wilderness using them as signposts, to lead them safely through the wilderness?

PURE SPECULATION!
.
Well, this is all mere speculation! None of us know exactly what’s in store for us in the near future.
.
But one thing is for certain: those who are truly wise men today, will follow these stars just as surely as those wise men of old, followed that guiding star which led them to the first Advent of Jesus.
.
And today, God is still leading wise men to follow the wonderful message which God is now revealing to all who will listen and receive it!
.
.
.
.
.
A SIMPLE ENCOURAGEMENT!
.
And so, today’s devotional is just another encouragement to get on-board with these signs in the Sun, Moon, and Stars, and let Arcturus guide us to our desired Haven of Rest!
.
And who knows all the reasons that God has, for giving us these wonderful Signs Of Heaven!?
.
.
.
.
“O give thanks unto the LORD,
for He is good: for His mercy endureth for ever.
Let the redeemed of the LORD say so,
whom He hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
And gathered them out of the lands,
from the east, and from the west,
from the north, and from the south.
They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way;
they found no city to dwell in.
Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble,
and He delivered them out of their distresses.
And he led them forth by the right Way,
that they might go to a City of Habitation.
Oh that men would praise the LORD for His goodness,
and for His wonderful works to the children of men!
Psalm 107:1-8

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN
.
.
.
“there shall come a Star out of Jacob”…
Numbers 24:17
.
“Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him.” Matthew 2:1, 2
.
There exists a lot of intrigue regarding just what star did the Magi from the East follow, which led them to the First Advent of our Savior. The Bible speaks of Arcturus as a possibility… “canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?” Job 38:33.
.
Arcturus may very well have been that star. Nobody knows for certain, because God can perform miraculous deeds beyond anything we can conceive or even imagine!
.
In simple terms, there’s nothing that’s impossible for God! (Luke 1:37)
.
.
.
.
.
TYPE OF WISE-MEN OF OLD
.
But there is a much greater question which confronts Mankind today.
.
Because, just as a single star guided those wise men to the coming Savior, so also, God is just now giving us a star (plus many other stars), to guide us safely to the Second Coming of our Lord and Savior!
.
And so this starry guide (Arcturus) appears to be the type fulfillment of those wise men following the star, 2,000 years ago!

ARE YOU A WISE MAN?
.
We must keep in mind, that those wise men of old, after spending countless hours searching the Scriptures, to see just exactly what and who those prophecies were pointing to, traveled through the deserts hundreds of miles to find the Messiah.
.
And so, are you willing to spend months praying and searching out this message, in light of God’s Word, to see if this message is the real thing?
.
In other words, are you truly the last-day fulfillment of those wise-men of old? Are you willing to put out the same effort that those wise men of old put out, to discover the truth? And with this message, you don’t even have to travel hundreds of miles!
.
But to really understand this message, does take a great deal of effort.
.
But wise men don’t mind that!
.
After all, that’s exactly the stuff that wise men are made of!
