✨ Abraham, the Gospel, and the Story in the Stars
This is not horoscope / astrology.
This is a Christ-centred way of seeing the heavens as a witness to God’s promise.
🌌 The Bible Basis
Psalm 19:1-4 KJV
“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,”
Job 38:31-32 KJV
“Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?
Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?”
✨ Abraham and the Stars
Genesis 15:5-6 KJV
“And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness.”
Count / Declare the Stars
Tell / Number
Hebrew: saphar — סָפַר
Meaning: to count, recount, relate, declare, tell.
So Abraham was told to look at the stars and count / declare them.
Seed
The promised Seed points to Jesus Christ.
Galatians 3:8 KJV
“And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.”
Galatians 3:16 KJV
“Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.”
So the promise shown to Abraham points to Christ, the Seed.
⚠️ Not Worshipping Stars
Deuteronomy 4:19 KJV
“And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the Lord thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.”
This is not about worshipping stars.
This is about seeing how creation points back to God.
