God says that he put the stars in the heavens as signs for us.
Clearly what Rev 12 describes transpired on Sept 27 2017.
What it means remains unclear.
“God says that he put the stars in the heavens as signs for us.”
As signs for times and seasons. So we could know when to plant crops, for example, or observe the festivals that God told us to keep. Not signs to look for to predict the future. That’s pure paganism. Even the one example of a “sign” of that type in the heavens in the Bible, the star of Bethlehem, was NOT a sign given to Israel. It was the pagan Magi who were chasing that sign.
“Clearly what Rev 12 describes transpired on Sept 27 2017.”
No it doesn’t. Did a third of the stars of heaven fall from the sky on that date? Nope. How about the man child with a rod of iron who would rule all the nations (Jesus Christ)? Was he born on that day? Nope again. I could go on, but clearly what that chapter is describing didn’t happen on that date, and it isn’t describing some astronomical or astrological phenomenon. We’re never instructed to look for this “sign”. It’s a sign that is shown to John the Revelator, a sign that clearly refers to some events that had already happened by the time John was shown the sign.
Until you grasp that, you will never understand the meaning of the chapter. You also might want to search the Old Testament to see what the sun, moon, and stars in that verse actually represent, in prophecy. Hint: they are not astronomical bodies.
September 27 2017, where do I look up what happened on that day?
