Of late there has been some strange things going on in the sky . One was when the two planets jupiter and venus moved close to the moon to form what looked like a triangle it was visible by probably the whole world. I saw this myself outside it was amazing to look at. If you missed this Google it .it happened can't remember the night exactly probably around December 2nd maybe .

Last night December 12th the moon was closer to earth than it has been in so many what ever years according to the news a releative told me . I went out and looked at it it didn't look any different to me . Then I went out later that night again and noticed the moon changed it was very bright the sky was lit up like an early morning and there was a big . I'm not sure how to describe this but there was like a big circle opening where the clouds were pushed away from the moon. And a rainbow colored glow came from around the moon . I must say this even beat the moon and two planets alighnment hands down as far as a site to see.

According to an online news paper charlotteobserver they said the following of tonight December 13th . Also coming this month -- the Geminids meteor shower, which takes place Dec. 13. Unfortunately for sky-watchers, there will be a full moon that night, and astronomers say the moonlight will make it difficult to see some of the meteors.

I must say this is catching my interest these things happening in the sky . I want to hear everyone's take on these things. Is god sending us a sign ? Does the bible talk of such things happening ? Could we be nearing a point of the seond coming ?

It has long been translated that God made the stars for "signs" as well as seasons:

Ge 1:14-15

14 And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth." And it was so.
NIV

But the above translation indicates the interpretation of the verse is "signs about the seasons".

But Jesus also speaks about ".

But Jesus also speaks about " in the last days:

Lk 21:25

25 "There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea.
NIV

God does give us signs in various ways and speaks much about HIS " in the last days:

Lk 21:25

25 " in the OT. But it seems from the OT that because of man's corrupted nature we are warned not seek to know the future from those who are not proven prophets and seers of God.

It seems best to take only the signs listed in the Bible.. in order to be "seers" and "awake" for the Lord's return.

The sun rising each morning, the world spinning to keep gravity, are all signs from God, it tells us he is there and in control.

INDEED!!
And the signs we see today happening with the moon stars and planets have been happening since Jesus time and before.
Stars and dying and giving birth to new stars and doing that for millions of years.
Yes someone is indeed in control.
Praise God,
