Just wanted to give you a heads up for an event that is coming this week. You can see it in the sky without a telescope. It is an alignment of all the wandering stars that last happened 18 years ago. It may or may not be significant spiritually. Time alone will tell. But, we know that GOD told us that there would be signs in the heavens, and he told us that he provided the sun and moon and stars as signs as well as time keepers.
When Stars Align
The ancients believed that stars were divine, and their journeys across the heavens foretold the events to unfold on our humble terrestrial sphere, then alignments of stars were studiously marked. They signaled the rise of new dynasties, a lucky windfall, ill-fated love.
‘When the stars Aligned” means a time when all the stars of your sky are in a perfect position, a very poetical expression to suggest that you got very lucky because your chain of events happened in the right moment. Seen as the favor of the gods or a special blessing or an act of GOD, a time of favor.
Does the Sky Hold Signs of the End Times?

Many Christians are wondering whether this alignment has supernatural importance. Are these planets’ movements connected to the signs and wonders of the End Times?
Here is what you should know about the Bible’s stance on astronomy.
Does Astronomy Appear in the Bible?
Astronomy—studying the night sky, noting patterns in it—has been around for millennia, going back to the Biblical period. Consequently, the Bible mentions stars on many occasions, sometimes attaching importance to them. Most famously, the Magi (possibly astrologers, possibly kings) follow a star to bring Jesus’ gifts.
As the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia explains, the Bible uses astronomy details in many ways. Sometimes astronomy imagery is used to describe God. “The sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays” (Malachi 4:2 NIV). He holds the Pleiades constellation in his hands and binds the cords of Orion (Job 38:31). Planetary movements help the Hebrews plan their calendar, particularly the year of Jubilee. Sometimes, the Bible mentions stars falling from the sky like figs (Isaiah 34:4, Revelation 6:13), which could refer to meteor showers.
While the Bible mentions stars, constellations, and other “heavenly bodies,” it doesn’t claim that we can predict the future by looking at the stars. It sharply warns against using Zodiac signs or stars to divine the future or someone’s fate. The prophet Isaiah mocks leaders who rely on astrologers for counsel (Isaiah 47:13-14). Multiple Old Testament books warn not to dabble in divination or other forms of fortune-telling (Leviticus 19:26, Leviticus 20:6, Deuteronomy 18:10-11, 1 Samuel 15:23).
Where Does Revelation Mention Astronomy?
Revelation has several references to stars, planets, or other heavenly objects. Among others, Revelation mentions:
– A man appears to John, holding seven stars in his hand (Revelation 1)
– A “wormwood star” falls from the heavens (Revelation 8:11).
– Giving someone a morning star (Revelation 2:26)
– The sun turning black and the moon red (Revelation 6:12)
– “Something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea” (Revelation 8:8)
– “A great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water— the name of the star is Wormwood.” (Revelation 8:10-11)
– The new heaven and new earth (Revelation 21:1)
– Jesus, the bright morning star (Revelation 22:16)
Some Christians see these references as predictions of astronomical phenomena in the End Times. For example, the wormwood star and the great mountain landing in the sea could be meteors hitting the earth’s surface. The sun turning black and the moon red could be a solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse (in many lunar eclipses, like the one that occurred in 2020, the moon looks red).
However, others argue that Revelation’s language makes it hard to say when these references refer to something that will literally happen. For example, Revelation 9:1-2 says, “I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the Abyss. When he opened the Abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace.” The star is described in an anthropomorphic way (given human qualities: having human hands and arms to take a key and turn it to unlock the Abyss). Does this mean God will direct the star to hit the earth in a way that opens the shaft of the Abyss? Is the star a person who will get permission to unleash something from the Abyss? Given that Jesus calls himself “the bright morning star” (Revelation 22:16), either option is possible.
Others have noted that John’s visions in Revelation don’t seem to all be about the future. This came up in September 2017, when multiple Christians observed Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter appearing together in the constellation Virgo, with Jupiter moving out of Virgo. They interpreted Jupiter exiting Virgo as the mother giving birth to a son mentioned in this passage:
A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth. Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on its heads. Its tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that it might devour her child the moment he was born. She gave birth to a son, a male child, who “will rule all the nations with an iron scepter.” And her child was snatched up to God and to his throne. (Revelation 12:3-5 NIV)
In other words, Jupiter was the son, Virgo the mother, as the great sign appeared in the heavens. However, there are flaws in this argument. First, as Christopher M. Graney observed in The Catholic Astronomer, the interpretation assumed this arrangement had never happened before. Research showed the same arrangement had occurred four times between 1017 and 2017 alone.
Furthermore, this Revelation 12 passage leads into a “war in heaven,” where the angel Michael fights the dragon and “the great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him” (Revelation 12:9 NIV). As a result, this passage is often interpreted as describing something that predates Genesis 1:1 before moving forward to the New Testament’s key event. The war in heaven is taken to be a literal war that Satan fought against God, a third of the angels joining him. After the war ended with God victorious, Satan “fell like lightning from heaven” (Luke 10:18 NIV), his rebels following him. John Milton’s Paradise Lost picks up after this event, with Satan rallying his followers in their new home.
Following this interpretation, the son is not a planet but Jesus, who defeats the great dragon. The mother represents Israel, which experiences many trials (exiles, invasion by Rome, the 400 years of silence) before birthing the Messiah.
What is the Correct Interpretation of Astronomy in Revelation?
Christians’ interpretations of Revelation’s astronomy reference will vary depending on what denomination or tradition they follow. Christians who see Revelation as an essentially literal description of the End Times will see these astronomical references as descriptions of coming signs in the heavens. Christians who see Revelation as a description of the early church’s experiences may see these references as allegorical or coded references to Nero, Rome, etc.
Different views of the millennium (1,000 years of suffering before Christ returns) also affect how Christians interpret these details. For a good summary of Christian positions on the millennium, read the following Christianity.com articles:
Regardless of what view Christians take on Revelation and the End Times, the fact remains that the Bible affirms humans cannot know when the End Times will come. Jesus stated, “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father” (Matthew 24:36 NIV), a statement also recorded in Mark 13:32. Instead of worrying and vainly predicting when the end would become, Jesus told his followers always to be ready because “the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.” (Matthew 24:44 NIV).

Classical Planets to Form Cosmic Queue
By Graham Jones. Published 9-Jun-2022
The seven wandering classical planets—including the Moon and the Sun—line up in the sky this month. Find out where and when to spot the planetary alignment.
An image from our Night Sky Map shows the view from New York City, USA, at 04:40 (4:40 am) local time on June 24.

The classical planets—the seven astronomical bodies that can be seen without a telescope, and appear to move in relation to the stars—are coming into an eye-catching alignment.
Mercury, Venus, the Moon, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn will line up in order of their distance from the Sun in the pre-dawn sky from June 23 to 25.
Our graphic at the Above shows the view from New York City about 45 minutes before sunrise on June 24.
The seventh classical planet—the Sun itself—makes its presence felt in the form of a reddish glow coming from just beneath the horizon.
The word planet originally comes from an ancient Greek word meaning “wanderer”, to distinguish it from the “fixed” stars. (Some sources include Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto in their definitions of the “classical” planets, although these bodies were not discovered until after the invention of the telescope in the 17th century.)

Not Actually in a Line
What looks like a near-perfect alignment to us on Earth is an illusion caused by perspective. Seen from space, the celestial bodies do not form a straight line.
Let’s imagine flying up into space, and looking down on the solar system from way above the North Pole. The graphic below shows us what we would see on June 24.
An illustration of the solar system on June 24, looking down from far above the North Pole. Distances from the Sun are to scale, but the sizes of the astronomical bodies are not.

The “field of view” explains the view from New York and other cities in the Northern Hemisphere, shortly before sunrise.
From left to right, the Sun is just outside the field of view, while Mercury is just included. Next comes Venus, the Moon, Mars, and Jupiter. Finally, somewhat separated from the others, there is Saturn.
The View from the Other Side of Earth
Now let’s imagine we fly back down to Earth, but instead of landing in the Northern Hemisphere, we travel to the other side of our planet.
The graphic below shows the view from Sydney, Australia, about 30 minutes before sunrise on June 24. Because this is a view from the Southern Hemisphere, the five planets—together with the Moon, and the glow of the Sun—line up the other way round.
This image from our Night Sky Map shows the view from Sydney, Australia, at 06:30 (6:30 am) local time on June 24.

Start Looking Now
Although the above images are all for June 24, the celestial line-up will be visible in the pre-dawn sky before and after this date.

The main difference will be the position of the Moon. Of the seven classical planets, the Moon appears to move the quickest in relation to the stars.
The classical planets: Why Monday comes before Tuesday
Visible Worldwide, Almost
The cosmic queue of planets is visible from around the globe. However, for cities farther north than New York—for example, Toronto or London—Mercury becomes difficult or impossible to spot.
In the very far north, where the Sun hardly sets in June—or doesn’t set at all—few or none of the planets can be seen.
The event is also invisible from the South Pole. This part of the globe is in permanent darkness during June, and the planets are mostly hidden beneath the horizon.
Did you know? Our friends at Astronomers Without Borders have voted the June planetary alignment one of their top “Sky Events” for 2022.

The Hebrew Names of the seven Planets
The Hebrew Names of the Seven Planets
In the ancient world, the Hebrew names of the seven planets are found in the Babylonian Talmud, but evidence shows that there were another set of names given by the Jews of the Later Roman Empire.
These other names are sourced from Epiphanius, the Bishop of Constantia (Salamis) in Cyprus from 367 to 402 CE. He was born to Jewish parents in Palestine and was a polyglot (or pentaglossos) since he was versed in Hebrew, Syriac, Egyptian, Greek, and Latin. It is his names for the Seven Planets that are the earliest and the most accurate. They are listed in Panarion 15.2.
One. The Sun. Traditional name: Hammah. Panarion name: Hema or Semes.
Two. The Moon. Traditional name: Lebanah. Panarion name: Albana or leree or Mene.
Three. Venus. Traditional name: Kokab Nogah or Kokebet. Panarion name: Zeroua or Loueth.
Four. Mercury. Traditional name: Kokab. Panarion name: Chocheb Ochomod.
Five. Mars. Traditional name: Ma’adim. Panarion name: Chocheb Okbol.
Six. Jupiter. Traditional name: Sedeq. Panarion name: Chocheb Baal.
Seven. Saturn. Traditional name: Sabbetay. Panarion name: Chocheb Sabeth.
Let us look at each planet more closely.
The Sun: Epiphanius uses two terms for the sun but the name Semes was not used in post-Biblical times relating to astronomy.
The Moon: “His first term corresponds to Hebrew lebnadh (apparently with the definite article in his list) and the second to yareah. Again, only the former term is used in post-biblical astronomical terminology”. Also, the latter term is not used in astronomy in post-Biblical times.
Venus: Neither name for Venus is used in post-Biblical times. Although both are feminine nouns, their Hebrew roots are still undermined. However, each name is used for Venus as twin aspects of Morning and Evening Star.
Mercury: “Epiphanius evidently records the full Hebrew name of Mercury Kokab Ochomod, “Ochomod Planet,” whereas the traditional name is simply “Planet” (masculine). Neither the root nor the meaning of Ochomod is easily interpreted.
Mars: This planet was called “Kokab Okbol, “Okbol Planet,” but the traditional term has been changed completely to Ma’adim, “Reddener.” The latter is religiously neutral and astronomically correct, Mars indeed being the “Red Planet”’.
Jupiter: Known as ‘Baal’s Planet’ it was a traditional name which means ‘justice’.
Saturn: Both the traditional and Panarion names are similar – the former meaning Planet of Rest and the latter Restful. The names may be connected with the fact that Saturn was the slowest out of all the other planets known at the time.
When looking at the traditional and the earliest Hebrew names for the planets, we can see that in Epiphanius’ version, he avoids using religiously offensive names. (for example, the Talmudic terms for the sun and moon consistently avoid the names Semes and Yareah, evidently because there were the Canaanite (and biblical) terms for the deified sun and moon).
Since the names of Epiphanius’ list of the Seven Planets are all Semitic in origin, it is probable that these names are all historically the native Semitic names used by astrologers and used by the Jewish people during the Roman Empire. If we delve deeper, than it is highly likely that their ultimate roots lie in ancient Babylonian astronomy.

PLANETS in the creation account, wandering STARS, fallen angels – Jude 13
“Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; WANDERING STARS, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever” (Jude 13)
“Wandering” derives from the Greek noun πλανήτης (planétés, Strong’s 4107), and is only used in the Bible in Jude 1:13, where we can read about wandering stars. About this word we can read in Biblehub that it derives from the verb πλανάω (planáo, Strong’s 4105) with the meaning of go astray, deceive, get off course, wander or cause to wander. This verb is used 39 times in the KJV. It can be used to signify a star that is wandering (a planet), and in a figurative sense it could mean a false teacher exploiting other aimless people leading them to go astray. This verb is also used to describe the Israelites’ wandering around in the desert during the Exodus.
Matt. 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive (planáo, Strong’s 4105) you.5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive (planáo, Strong’s 4105) many. — 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
2 Tim. 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving,(planáo, Strong’s 4105) and being deceived (planáo, Strong’s 4105).14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
Ja. 5:19 Brethren, if any of you do err (planáo, Strong’s 4105): from the truth, and one convert him;20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
2 Pet. 2:13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray (planáo, Strong’s 4105), following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
This is where the English word “planet” is coming from, and it is a word which we can also recognize in numerous other languages (with minor differences in spelling).
Planets in the Bible?
Many have asked why planets are not mentioned in the Bible, but only the earth, the sun and the moon. Should they not get a mention? If the planets are in fact “stars” they are already mentioned. The Bible seems to refer to the planets (what we today understand as planets) as wandering stars in Jude 13, in contrast to the other stars in the sky. Most stars are not wandering at all but are fixed in their proper places – many of them belong in certain star constellations which can be seen from earth – yet certain stars are considered to be wandering. The planets/the wandering stars are seven in number just like our weekdays: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. They are all tied to various gods in ancient times.
The earth is described as being created prior to light on the first day and is a place which God intended to be inhabited (Isa. 45:18), which means that he did not wait to accomplish this goal for billions of years. The stars (the fixed stars and the wandering ones) on the other hand were created on the 4th day, and they are something entirely different than our unique earth.
The purpose of the earth was to be inhabited with human beings, animals and vegetation. The purpose of the sun and the moon (each described as lights) was to divide the day from the night, to be signs (for certain seasons, days and years) and to give light on the earth. The purpose of the stars was apparently to help out providing light and signs for the inhabitants of earth. We can read about the stars “he made the stars also” just after describing the purpose of the sun and the moon, and the author goes on to say “God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness” which works out well for all the celestial lights.
Based on the book of Enoch and the Bible, the sun is referred to as He, and the moon as She.
Is. 13:10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
Ez. 32:7 And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.
Judg. 5:31 So let all thine enemies perish, O Lord: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
Seven stars?
Amos 5:8 Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The Lord is his name:
The above could of course signify an open star cluster called the Pleiades (the seven sisters), in the constellation of Taurus. It is the cluster most obvious to the naked eye in the sky. Orion is, like Taurus, a star constellation. Maybe it could also refer to the seven wandering stars.
Gen. 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.—14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
Fallen angels
The Bible mentions angels which kept not their first estate but left their own habitation. Jude also compared with the unnatural way that the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrha lived their life with sexual perversion (homosexuality):
Jude 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
Jude 14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
Jude refers to Enoch as “seventh from Adam”, showing that he understood the history in Genesis as being literal (Enoch is indeed the seventh generation from Adam). Jude had no reason to doubt that the description of the sons of God (angels) was literal as well:
Gen. 6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
Also the book of Enoch and the book of Jasher confirm this story and provide even more details.
The sun (or the stars) were not needed to illuminate the earth the first 3 days (the sun was created on Day 4), and we know from the book of Revelation that the lamb of God (Jesus) will be the one to give us light in the new Jerusalem where a sun will not be needed.
Satan, a beautiful star
Satan, a beautiful star, fell from heaven due to his rebellion. Now he walks about it trying to deceive people.
Luke 10:17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
1 Pet. 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, WALKETH ABOUT, seeking whom he may devour
Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them.7 And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. (also Job 2:1-2)
The prince of Tyrus and the prince of the air (Satan) show a similar life pattern to each other as can be seen below. Satan was indeed a bright star:
Ez. 28:2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord God; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:— 12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
According to Christian flat earth supporters, they believe the stars are smaller and closer to earth, placed in (not above) the firmament. (Read about the Biblical meaning of “firmament” – raqia – in this blog article.) If the stars were larger, they would not be able to fall down to earth but they would cause the earth to burn up long before approaching. This means that we would not be able to read about various events taking place on earth AFTER the stars had fallen down on it since the earth would then have become non-existent. Still, according to the Bible the life on earth goes on even after the stars will have fallen down on it.
Rev. 6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
Rev: 8:10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
Rev. 12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. — 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Mark 13:25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven. See also Matt. 24:29
Dan. 8:10 And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.
Ps. 147:4 He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.
The book of Enoch explains that seven particular stars, who were disobedient to God, will receive a terrible punishment in the future:
1 Enoch 21:1. And I proceeded to where things were chaotic. 2. And I saw there something horrible: I saw neither a heaven above nor a firmly founded earth, but a place chaotic and horrible. 3. And there I saw seven stars of the heaven bound together in it, like great mountains and burning with fire. 4. Then I said: ‘For what sin are they bound, and on what account have they been cast in hither?’ 5. Then said Uriel, one of the holy angels, who was with me, and was chief over them, and said: ‘Enoch, why dost thou ask, and why art thou eager for the truth? 6. These are of the number of the stars of heaven, which have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, and are bound here till ten thousand years, the time entailed by their sins, are consummated.’ 7. And from thence I went to another place, which was still more horrible than the former, and I saw a horrible thing: a great fire there which burnt and blazed, and the place was cleft as far as the abyss, being full of great descending columns of fire: neither its extent or magnitude could I see, nor could I conjecture. 8. Then I said: ‘How fearful is the place and how terrible to look upon!’ 9. Then Uriel answered me, one of the holy angels who was with me, and said unto me: ‘Enoch, why hast thou such fear and affright?’ And I answered: ‘Because of this fearful place, and because of the spectacle of the pain.’ 10. And he said unto me: ‘This place is the prison of the angels, and here they will be imprisoned for ever.’
Why do stars twinkle? It actually looks like they are placed in a layer of water. “God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament:—And God said, Let there be lights IN the firmament of the heaven.” Read about “the circle of the earth” (not translated as a ball, globe, or sphere) in Is. 40:22 here.

The Planets Lie: Fallen Angels Deception from our Enclosed Flat Earth
UPDATE FEB 23. 2017
Angels are called “stars” in the bible Job 38:7, Revelation 1:20, Isaiah 14:12, and I find that fascinating in relation to the flat theory, but after extensive research on the book of Enoch, I want to make it clear that I do not endorse it as an extra-biblical source of reliable information. Enoch is a Jewish mystical book, that presents the occult narrative on too many levels for my comfort. I think at the very least it serves to convolute scripture and the gospel story. With that disclaimer, and with reservations, I keep this video up. I welcome your comments.
The planets are not what you think they are. One of the greatest deceptions is what NASA and Science has led you to believe. Think planets are something you can land on and explore?
The Bible describes the stars as stones of fire. The Book of 1 Enoch refers to the stars (and Sun and Moon) collectively as luminaries. Enoch describes the stars as intelligent living creatures. We have been lied to about planets. All throughout history they were considered wandering stars and the Bible and Enoch plainly tells us that the wandering stars (planets) are a form of angelic beings. Enoch tells us that seven of them disobeyed God, and left their prescribed courses; these are the wandering stars – for this, they are punished (Jude 1:13, 1 Enoch 18:12-16; 20:4) It just so happens that we have 7 so called planets in our solar system. Look at their names, explore this history of astrology and when you see that science and spirituality are connected to deceive mankind you will wake up to the truth of God’s word.
Monkey Man Science is all part of the great deception coming to the world but it goes a lot deeper than most people think. They need their space and the universe theory to destroy God in peoples minds & trick the world of aliens that will soon come to help mankind. Don’t believe the Lies. Read God’s Word & Celebrate Truth.

In Episode 1 of Flat Earth & The Bible we ask a few questions on the significance of the stars. Is there a deeper meaning of what they have been teaching us about the Sun, Moon and Stars? Why is science and occult philosophy teaching the same thing? Could the biggest lie of all with God’s creation have a unifying way of bringing on the New World Order? We explore and learn more about the beginning connections and where they could lead. We are made in God’s image. We are not made from stars. The entire heliocentric model of our universe is a lie. Don’t let Satan deceive you.
