PEGASUS
THE WINGED WHITE HORSE
Revelation 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he does judge and make war.
Consideration:
The only white horse in the sky is the constellation Pegasus.
Therefore we should look for new activity in Pegasus as a sign.
I wonder what learned Christian Theologians would think of your embrace of pagan astronomic lore applied to the post-Messianic apocalyptic ravings of the apostle John?
Here?
Seriously now, how would we be able to tell the difference between a sufficiently large artifact of advanced civilization and just something in space.
I am 41. As long as I can remember rapture enamored Christians have been clipping articles out of Scientific American RE: Astrological anomalies and tried to cram them into bible versus. Same goes with headlines from the middle east.
The Russian Bear. A plague. An earthquake. The European Union. My personal fav is when folks try to make a place for the good old USA in some revelation symbolism.
The Bible is 4000 years old, Jesus has been “coming back soon” for 2000 years. Everybody thinks this is the time. Which is fine I guess, but very ethnocentric. The Byzantines thought it was the end of the world in 1453.
Jesus will come back when he comes back. He will come back the way he wants to come back. He isn’t asking for anybodies permission. You don’t have to figure it out either. It is what it is. Pre-trib, post trib, mid trib. Whatever. Don’t sweat it. Don’t try to cram headlines into 2000 year old apocalyptic literature.
I looked just west of Pegasus last Saturday night and took this picture of Planetary Nebula M-27.
9/4/10 - 2230hrs, 19x135s ISO800 w/6.3 focal reducer using CLS LP filters, mounted to a SCT.
This thing is approximately 1100 light years away...It's basically a star that blew it's outer shell away about 3500 years ago. The small star which can be seen in the very center of the nebula, is cause of this.
It is estimated the ejected gas from this dying star is expanding at a rate of about 17 miles per second.
Many astronomers believe the same thing will eventually happen to our own star.
It’s interesting, Tara.
