For signs and season yes but not for fortune telling! Another words for when spring was coming or for how to tell time or for what direction to take! Or for when to prepare for Passover. The Old Testament and New Testament has no codex for what planet means a king or for what star cluster constellation means God’s vengeance is coming...therefore make spears!
Jeremiah 10:2 1Hear the word which the LORD speaks to you, O house of Israel. 2Thus says the LORD, “Do not learn the way of the nations, And do not be terrified by the signs of the heavens Although the nations are terrified by them;
For the customs of the peoples are delusion; Got that?
There are specific signs for sure that the Bible says we are to look for...but the bible mentions them specifically! We aren’t supposed to create astronomical horoscopes of the future using star patterns that we have no Biblical reference for to prove their accuracy which must be 100 per cent if it is of God! We aren’t supposed to be terrified of the signs of the heavens!
So the Magi who saw the signs of Jesus’ birth in the heavens and came to worship Him were what? The day of Palm Sunday can be calculated using the prophesy in Daniel and the date given in Nehamiah. Jesus wept over Jerusalem because the Jews did not do the calculation and welcome Him as the Massiah. So how do you think He is going to feel about those who ignore a sign He has put in His Revelation that tells of His Second Coming?
Another thought: It is really hard to simply trust in the LORD to take care of our every need and to direct our every step. I know this from personal experience. But over the past several years, I have been put in situations that I simply can’t figure out what to do, and have taken to relying on YHWH’s Holy Spirit to guide my every move. Including writing this reply.
The Ain Sof, the True and the Living God outside of His creation, spoke His creation into being, and His Word actually maintains His creation in existence and guides it by providing the boundary conditions for all significant events. The Holy Scriptures, the Bible, are His revelation of what we need to know to make informed decisions on where we want to spend eternity. We can either believe His Word and be with Him for eternity, or not believe His Word and spend eternity in Outer Darkness, aka, the Eternal Lake of Fire.
If you believe His Word, then you can decide to really trust Him, or to sorta trust Him. That is you can follow the narrow way that he has chosen for you life, or you can deviate from that path, and require His corrective action to get you back on it. Balaam and his donkey are an extreme example. Jonah and the big fish are another.
If you try to listen to that “still small voice”, then He can use less strenuous direction. For example, about 18 months ago, a failed hot water heater in our travel trailer led us to getting a 34 foot Winnebago Brave that we would need to be able to help Mrs. Submareener’s sister to move out of Denver this summer. After we closed on the Brave, I said, “YHWH, I will know this is Your doing if the hot water heater comes on tomorrow morning.” Sure enough, when I turned it on the next morning, it lit off normally and never failed again.
Let not your heart be troubled! Trust in the LORD!
