The Bereans would have said “show us” where in the Bible that the constellations can be read into that way!
Bereans would be blessed to have the free computer downloaded app that tracks the movements of His sun, moon, stars, planets.
They may have had people that did that back then for them but we can have them on our computers, tablets and phones.
They would certainly be able to see where science says the sun is when Passover(spring) and Tabernacles(fall) is in relation to the constellations.
today:
2 fish-spring
woman- fall (hence the revelation 12 sign discussion)
science can show us that those appear to move in relation to the earth so they won’t always be in the same place over thousands of years.
and what’s next?
future:
man carrying a pitcher -spring
lion- fall
what came before?
past:
ram- spring
balance/scale- fall
Those are Old and New Testament themes.
yesterday, today and tomorrow.
But those can be known from science.
Those aren’t Old and New Testament themes to science or the secular world.
Christianity may be the only ones who can made the connections with the New Testament but they really can’t because they have their own days and feasts/festivals that don’t jive with His Creation or His Word.
If the bereans today started telling time like He teaches in His Word and His Creation, they will start to ‘see’ things in His Word that they’ve been blinded to- just as Paul stated in Romans 12. Conformity to this world is blinding.
But it’s a blindness that can be cured.
good example of blindness-
Today wasn’t Sunday July 23rd to Him.
It was actually a rather important day on His calendar. Commemorated some rather big events.
and hardly anybody knows.
I would comment that it seems they don’t make bereans like they used to.
I’ve been blessed by Him because He showed me how off religion was using this Revelation 12 sign.
The last 3 years I have the woman in the sky. clothed with the sun.
and the moon ended up ‘under her ‘feet’ on a certain day in 2014,2015,2016.
It wasn’t the same day on the world’s calendar.
But it was the same ‘day’ on His.
And had not Judaism changed the way they tell time, they would have joined Christianity as 0 for 3 in missing it. They sneaked by last year so Judaism got a 1 for 3.
How do people who claim to follow the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob be so ignorant of His Creation and His calendar (which isn’t today’s jewish calendar btw)?
No, Bereans would be blessed to first start with what is today according to Scripture, if it isn’t Sunday July 23rd.
They’d start to see a whole lot more in His Word that they weren’t able to see before.
Then maybe they’d be able to show others where they’ve been blinded from amazing Truth above our heads as a witness to the believing and unbelieving world.
His heavens declare His Glory. And the story He tells at His Feasts is His Story.
Judaism could be shown it but Christianity can’t see it yet.
The blind leading the blind..
