In keeping watch of signs and wonders in the sky not as one who feeds upon astrology but as God's child who enjoys astronomy and seeks to hear from God in this sincere manner. I've come to learn that Saturn is more than just an interestingly beautiful planet. It represents "opposition". It's object of opposition is the Sun and between the two is Earth. The Sun represents the Son of God and Saturn represents Satan as he opposes. Earth represents man(both of the dust and of water). There is a message in the sky and the Body of Christ need not fear to look up and understand and gain wisdom. The excerpt below was taken from this months issue of Astronomy Magazine. See that it rises when the Sun sets, it remains in view all night and best at midnight when darkness seems to prevail, look how it competes with the brightness of Regulus which is the heart of the Lion, not Simba but The Lion of The Tribe of Judah. I may sound "storybookish" but to me it shows there is a war going on and we must boldly chose Christ in spite of any and all opposition.


THE SKY THIS MONTH
*****************************************************************

SATURN AT OPPOSITION

Magnificent Saturn appears at its best for the year during
February. Opposition occurs February 10, when the planet lies
opposite the Sun in our sky and, consequently, rises as the Sun
sets. The ringed planet remains on view all night, with the best
views coming near local midnight, when it approaches within 30°
of the zenith for observers at mid-northern latitudes.

Throughout February, Saturn shines at magnitude 0.0, its
brightest for the year. Look 8° to the planet's southeast, and
your eyes will fall on blue-white Regulus, Leo the Lion's
brightest star. Saturn outshines 1st-magnitude Regulus by 3
times.

At opposition, Saturn lies closest to Earth, just 762 million
miles away.

I don't know much about astronomy, but it's interesting that Saturn the planet associated with Satan will be the closest to earth the morning of February 11th.


Iran is preparing to launch a satellite on a Shahab 3, the article calls it "A wolf in sheep's clothing" I read somewhere that it is scheduled to launch February 11th but I can't find the link to that article

Makes you wonder what Iran is up to...

Clearly, we're not the only ones looking up, peering into the heavenlies. It would seem that space very well could be the "final frontier" regarding world conflict. Halleuljah, God tells us who are bought with a matchless price to "look up for our redemption draws near".
