And so wonderful in light of this idea GOD gave me a few years ago:
The wise men followed a star. Matthew 2
Did they first learn of it, reading Numbers 24:17, when they took the Hebrews writings, during Judah’s captivity, when the Temple scrolls were taken to Babylon, then Persia?
Deborah, you are pulling on the right thread. Numbers 24:17, "there shall come a Star out of Jacob." Balaam, of all men, prophesied it in the east, and that is exactly where the wise men came from. Babylon held the scrolls after the captivity. Daniel sat over those magi for decades. The men who followed the Star were reading the Star out of Jacob.
Egypt pointed dead men up at Orion. God sent a Star down to a manger.
Glad it hit, Laura. The Strong Delusion goes right where this post stops. Start with the chapter on the counterfeit signs. That is the one readers keep circling back to.
I started reading this! It is SO GOOD! Thank you so much for sharing this! I will finish this today! I can't stop reading it! So much in here! What a great resource for the Christian today!
That was eye-opening ,encouraging and "pin-point" instructive! "Seek HIM who made the stars." Thank you. P.S. I just bought your book "The Strong Delusion" and it is laser-sharp teaching from the Word of God. Thank you again!.
Wow! Interesting!

“Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion.” (Amos 5:8)
This seems subtle but it’s very clear..seek Him.

Excellent
Thank you, Gabriella. More coming on this one.
Adam I bought the first Strong Delusion”. I’m wondering if this one is the 2nd volume or chapter and if so does the original get the update?
Yes, you’ll get all updates.
Summer camp, late 1970s is when I learned Ps. 19:1. I have been fascinated with Bible history and the heavens ever since!
It is always amazing when things fit together.
he calleth the stars by name.
