A Cosmic Encounter...
So we are now very near an interesting watch period... a close conjunction of Venus and Jupiter which provides amazing imagery of Christ uniting with His church. We wrote about this earlier which you can see here. This conjunction also mirrors a similar event which occurred at His first coming between these same two planets. Believe it or not, that conjunction was much closer than this one as the planets were perfectly together, indistinguishable from each other.
Below is a graphic I put together to compare 3 notable conjunctions. The first is in 2 BC at the time of Christ's birth also known as the original "Star of Bethlehem". That was an unbelievable sight I am sure and likely the brightest "star" they ever saw. The second one is the one occurring this year. There will be a bit of a gap, and not as bright as back then, but it will catch the eye of anyone who see's it that's for sure. The 3rd is from 2015... many of us saw this one in person as this was also a high watch time and much was made of this conjunction back then.
While it is not as spectacular as at Christ's birth, this conjunction is still very very close and has been getting some attention in the press. It is surely a unique event and the fact that it occurs 50 days after the Rev12 Sign is impossible to ignore. Here are some examples from a few articles.

Venus 'Snuggles' Close to Jupiter in Epic Conjunction Early Monday
Early Monday morning (Nov. 13), bright Jupiter will pass an even brighter Venus in a low but close and spectacular conjunction. The celestial highlight in the coming days will involve the two brightest planets, Venus and Jupiter — but only one of the two characters in our celestial show has been on stage thus far.

Venus, Jupiter conjunction: The brightest planets to meet up in Monday morning sky

Venus and Jupiter conjunction: Sky-watchers await dawn display
The planets will appear in conjunction in the south-east, just above the horizon, and may appear to look like one bright star.

Venus-Jupiter conjunction Monday a.m.
Watch for the super-close pairing of the sky's 2 brightest planets, Venus and Jupiter. They'll be in the sunrise direction, low in the east at dawn.
Facebook is even highlighting the conjunction... calling it a "Cosmic Encounter" and a "unique moment of wonder".
As I showed above, and as you may have seen in Stellarium, these planets will be close, but I don't think it will look like a single star as some of the articles suggest. I plan to get up early and check it out though!
Daniel Matson has been on top of all this as well as the simultaneous ramping up of events in the Middle East which all seem very prophetic. I suggest you follow his very active Facebook page if you haven't already to stay up to date. Here is a link to his most recent post:
Closing Thoughts
We shall see what happens in the coming days, but I find it very hard to believe this is a vast set of cosmic coincidences. No, we know that God has a plan and purpose for all He does and this is no different. He has brought us to this point for a reason so keep looking up and draw ever closer to Him just as the planets above show us to do.

ReplyDeleteWhen I pull up Stellarium and set it to Jerusalem, it looks exactly the same as it did in 2 BC. If I set it to the US, it is different. However, since focus is switching to Israel, I believe the one from Jerusalem is the one we should be looking to.
ReplyDeleteAmen sister.
DeleteAmen, Brad! Thank you for the heads-up! :--)
ReplyDeleteHere's is another stunning summary from WATCHMAN JONATHAN FERRERI 10/28 which is a pretty long read but sums up perfectly what we have learned so far from different perspectives. Unfortunately, I have only noticed it today but not yet too late. Have fun while reading, praying and waiting. MARANATHA it won't be long! Blessings to the family :)
ReplyDeleteAnnabel, that was an awesome read and glad I got time for it as well. Thank you so much! I needed that refresher to get re-centered.
DeleteI guess I let that other topic and some of the comments rattle my cage a bit. It wasn't the woman's letter so much as I've seen that format many times over the years both written and spoken orally in a Church setting. While I never found a valid reaction to it in my spiritual understanding, I just had to leave it up to the Lord to sort out. What bothered me so much was that it did seem to give rise to an odd kind of division and therein lies the detriment of of trying to speak for the Lord rather than of Him. I actually felt a sort of sifting going on there. Thankfully there were some well balanced words trying to be given
by some.
We are way to close to be getting sidetracked now. Much love to the Body as we walk on these pins and needles! Maranatha!
Hi DJ -
DeleteThere are a lot of opinions, thoughts and ideas out there about signs in the heavens. Some of them are valid. Some are not. But, I don't want any one source telling me what to believe and what not to believe about them. I want to hear and read everything I can from many sources. That's what I like about this open forum! Then, using the Scriptures, the critical thinking skills the Lord gave me, and direction from Holy Spirit, I can discern for myself, tossing aside those ideas that I believe are not on track, and holding on to the precious nuggets of truth. We all should be doing that as we sharpen each other.
As far as I can remember, our brother that hosts this website (and the others sites that most of us frequent) has never used the phrase "the Lord hath said" when posting outside articles or even their own thoughts. If they did, my guess is that it would be the readership of this site dropping precipitously!
So, I want to hear, read and discern! I usually learn something - - even from those I may not agree with. In fact, I sometimes learn even more from them. I'd like to continue reading and hearing from everyone. And I'll continue to search with others here to uncover hidden truths from the Word of God regarding the upcoming most important single event in Christian history since the Resurrection! That's what we're supposed to be doing...right? Looking is not passive, but active. And IMHO, we should be VERY active. Not one single person has all the right answers. But with a team of dedicated watchers seeking for answers, and working diligently to "search out a matter", just look at the progress of understanding that has been brought to us! A big "thank you" to all of you!
So, I encourage the host of this site and all of those that post their comments, to not give up. Keep thinking. And digging. Keep on asking for wisdom. Wait on the Lord for answers, but don't grow weary! WE ARE SO CLOSE! Continue sharing your thoughts with each other. Please don't retreat back into a shell of complacency now. Sure, some postulations have not panned out, but we can't give up! Keep pressing forward because our reward is so near!
DJ - I read your posts. I read the lyrics of your songs. You certainly have a gift! I've listened to your music. I love it! Don't stop sharing it. But let's not discourage others from seeking what we're all looking for....our Blessed Hope!
Thanks.... and blessings all you fellow readers!
Amen, Dennis!
DeleteDJ maybe you could try 'revelation research ministries' tho they are short videos with only words. But, these viewpoints are so very, very different. I just started to watch them today and thought of you because of your above comment on Nov 12/13 coming and going ... There is a video on the rapture not happening at least until 1-20 of 2018, I think. You surly don't have to agree with it.
DeleteI think DJ that it is like you are trying to force this blog into a position it wasn't made to do ... as if you are trying to put a puzzle piece in a spot it wasn't made to fit no matter how hard you try and the edges of the puzzle artwork/paper become frayed at times.
Maybe it is time to accept this.
I wouldn't mind any comments from others on this 'revelationresearchministries' site. I was trying to find a video that Barry Scarborough had referenced today.
Thanks, Cathi
Nicely put Dennis and Cathi. I wanted to respond but decided it was best to put it in the Lord's good hands.
DeleteCathi, I have watched a few of those RRM videos and I really did enjoy one called "Truth be told..." about calendar research. On the other ones, I'm wasn't sure if their research was evolving or they just changed their minds about a Rapture time frame. Blessings!

ReplyDeleteDJ, I really don't think you were kidding at all about feeling jaded. I pray it gets better for you real soon. Even the smallest stand alone star is something to be totally awed by when you think of how He has it numbered and named Ps.147:4.
ReplyDeleteAnd how amazing it is that modern technology allows one to see so much of His heavenly handiwork in action on any given day in our history, going backwards or forwards.
That alone is totally impressive:)!!!
Here's THE VERSE THAT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING (for us living in endtimes) for all if you who still have ears to hear... Much love, stay blessed &TY brother Gonz for this timely message!
ReplyDeleteI want to share with you good poetry of one Russian poetess. They met my eyes very well today, and I translated as I could. Sorry, I'm not a poetess.
ReplyDeleteKeep calm, the Lord will quickly come
and take and lift you in His palm,
and wake you up from all your worries
and you will grow over sorrows,
you will be higher than your woes,
than all your tragedies and horrors,
like is so higher than your home,
magnificent and wide, the sunrise dome.
The Lord is so high and so wise,
while also is indivisible from us!
Give Him your pain and all your sorrow,
let what is passing just pass by.
And let His light just overflow
This evening light in dome of sky...
Thank you, Alla. You just enriched my longing even more. Bless you, Dear Sister!
Deleteevery post great punjabi song Thanks for share dude...
