JUPITER AND VENUS CONVERGE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OVER 2,000 YEARS
"Then God said, "Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years" Genesis 1:14
"When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained" Psalm 8:3 ...ordained here = appointed...or appointed times - Moedim or Moed - a fixed time. The Sun, Moon and Stars were placed in the heavenlies so we would know and understand God's appointed times.
"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge.
There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world." Psalm 19:1-4
On June 30th and July 1st the planets Jupiter and Venus will be so close together that it will appear as if they are one great star, according to 'Sky & Telescope' magazine. One hour after sunset on June 30th the two planets will be only 1/3rd of a degree apart.
The two planets have been getting closer together over the past two weeks as Venus closes in on Jupiter on June 30th. This will not only be a brilliant sight in the western night sky, just after sunset, but it also has Christological significance. The reason so is because it will resemble the celestial event that happened just before the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. This could be a "sign" as we look toward Rosh HaShanah or Feast of Trumpets. Dr. Ernest Martin, author of the book, 'The Star of Bethlehem - The Star That Astonished The World", in which Dr. Martin states that Jesus was born on the Feast of Trumpets in 3 BC - September 11, 3 BC.
This very rare 2015 conjunction offers us an opportunity to witness an almost identical view that the Magi observed and followed. They were watching the paths of Venus and Jupiter very closely since the prophet Daniel had prophesied the date of the coming of the Messiah. They joined together in the Constellation of Leo in what is believed to be the Star of Bethlehem. According to Christian astronomers Venus represents the Bride of Christ; and Jupiter, also known as the King Star, represents Messiah, the Bridegroom. Their symbolic union represents the Messiah in His reign on Earth, as Leo indicates. The Magi anticipated His coming as the Redeemer and King. Now, we look forward to or anticipate His coming as King and Bridegroom. In short, this conjunction tells all who have eyes to see that the promise of reigning with Him as His Bride will be given to those who chase the Lord and catch Him.
There may well be prophetic implications for this conjunction, as this sign will take place on the night of June 30th and early in the morning of July 1st. July 1st (7/1) has always been a date for us to be watching, because it is a sign of the coming Feast of Trumpets, or Rosh HaShanah (1). Keep in mind that Jesus was born on the Feast of Trumpets, September 11th, 3 BC., and that the Feast of Trumpets is also the prophesied day (the so called "unknown day" of Matthew 25:13) for the resurrection of the dead. It appears that this conjunction could be a sign of the Pre-Tribulation Rapture or Resurrection (new birth). Does God do anything by chance? God "worketh all things after the counsel of his own will" (Ephesians 1:11), so is it not prophetic that this "sign" (as described herein) falls exactly on 7/1, the reminder date of the Feast of Trumpets!
Some websites (http://newsok.com/star-of-bethlehem-jupiter-and-venus-converge-for-the-first-time-in-2000-years/article/5430414 ) are reporting that there has not been a brighter, closer planetary conjunction of Jupiter and Venus for over 2,000 years - since the Star of Bethlehem!!
When we think of how closely this conjunction resembles the one that the magi witnessed and then we combine that with the prophetic implications of other current celestial events occurring in 2015 (see http://watchmansview.com/Signs_%26_Wonders_of_GOD.html ), we can't help but lift up our eyes and see that our redemption is drawing nigh!
(1) The "Appointed time" / "Feast" of Trumpets - Lev. 23:24,25 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall you have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation. Note the 7th month on the Hebrew calendar this year is in September (and different year to year) - on our Gregorian calendar, July 1 or 7/1 is thus a reminder of Lev. 23:24,25.
"But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase."... "Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end." Daniel 12:4,9 ...IS THIS THE TIME THAT GOD's SIGNS ARE TO BE UNDERSTOOD?
