Bright Morning Star




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


Amos 5:8


VENUS - The brightest "star"

In between the rain clouds, my husband captured a video of Venus in the SW sky right after sunset!  (The images above are from the video.) This bright light in the horizon is quite an attention-getter! These illuminations have really caught our eye! 



Incredible transformation caught on our simple camera.

This video was taken on Tuesday, November 29, 2016.


The prior week on Monday evening, November 21, just after sunset my husband saw Venus in the same location where Sirius appeared Sunday morning as I shared in my last blog.  It's amazing how the sky changes while we sleep...the constellations are moving westward overnight.



The early evening sky is dominated by brilliant Venus. Astronomy tells us that next to the sun and moon, the planet Venus is the brightest object we can see in the night sky.


Another video of Venus sighted in Greece on Nov. 27, 2016. 



And he that overcometh,
and keepeth my works unto the end,
to him will I give power over the nations:
And he shall rule them with a rod of iron;
as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken
to shivers: even as I received of my Father.
And I will give him the morning star.

Revelation 2:26-28


Venus was referred to as the Bright Morning Star by the ancients, a title used of the Lord Jesus in Revelation 22, in close proximity to the reference to him as “Alpha and Omega.”




Note:  Mazzaroth (constellation) or Biblical astronomy studies the creation that God made and set in order. It is not astrology which the bible admonishes us not to follow.

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, 
so are my ways higher than your ways, 
and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Never have I looked up at the night sky as I do nowadays, Tammy! Thank you for sharing all of this!

Yes, exactly - why haven't we been taught or shown these things! Such wonders to behold! Maranatha!
