September 23rd

For those who are not aware, a rare star alignment matching scripture descriptions will occur on September 23rd. Namely, Revelation 12 seems to match this stellar alignment.

Mother, Child, Dragon, and War

12 A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She is pregnant—crying out in birth pains, in agony to give birth.
Then another sign appeared in heaven: a great fiery red dragon that had seven heads and ten horns, and seven royal crowns on his heads. His tail sweeps away a third of the stars of heaven—it hurled them to the earth. Now the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that whenever she gave birth he might devour her child.
And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with an iron rod. And her child was snatched away to God and to His throne. Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God so they might take care of her for 1,260 days.
And war broke out in heaven, Michael and his angels making war against the dragon. The dragon and his angels fought, but they were not strong enough, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. And the great dragon was thrown down—the ancient serpent, called the devil and satan, who deceives the whole world. He was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. 10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven saying, “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Anointed One, for the accuser of our brothers and sisters—the one who accuses them before our God day and night—has been thrown out. 11 They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives even in the face of death.
12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the earth and the sea, for the devil has come down to you with great rage, knowing that his time is short.
13 Now when the dragon saw that he had been thrown to the earth, he stalked the woman who had given birth to the male child. 14 But the woman was given two wings of the great eagle, so that she might fly away from the presence of the serpent into the wilderness, to the place where she is taken care of—for a time, times, and half a time.
15 And from out of his mouth, the serpent spewed water like a river after the woman, in order to sweep her away with a flood. 16 But the earth came to the aid of the woman. The earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river that the dragon had spewed from his mouth. 17 So the dragon became enraged at the woman and went off to make war with the rest of her offspring—those who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Yeshua18 And he stood on the shore of the sea.

Many people have discussed this endlessly for months.
Google it if you want to hear some various perspectives (there are lots of Youtube videos on the subject).
 
I think it is important to not be a ‘date setter’ or to try to predict events, unless Yahweh has actually spoken to you and instructed you to do so. We see how various prophets were called in the Tanakh. It does not occur by accident, and there is no confusion about whether one is called to be a prophet.
Deuteronomy gives the test for a false prophet. If anyone you know is predicting events for the 23rd, be careful.
If those events do not occur as predicted, then I’d advise you to no longer listen to those people.
 
While I’m not in a position to predict any events, I do think this alignment is interesting.
It is possible we will see something occur.
It is possible that spiritual events will be set in motion, but may not be visible to us (war in heaven, as verse 7 states).
It is possible that we’ll all go to bed and then wake up on the 24th with no perceptible changes.
 
Be aware, though, that it is possible for something to occur.
Use your discernment carefully.
Do not be deceived by those making false claims.

And pay attention…

On a side note, I find it interesting how verse 17 describes the remnant of the church.
1.  Those who keep the commandments of God
2.  Those who have the testimony of Messiah

Does your church teach this to you?
We are told again in Rev 14:12 who the saints are:
 Here is the perseverance of the kedoshim—those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Yeshua.

Again, a second time…
1.  Those who keep the commandments of God
2.  Those who have the testimony of Messiah

Does your church teach you both criteria?
In Revelation 22:18-19 [a direct quote of Messiah], we are told what the consequences will be for adding to or taking away from the words of Revelation.

18 I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book. If anyone adds to them, God shall add to him the plagues that are written in this book; 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his share in the Tree of Life and the Holy City, which are written in this book.

Not only does Yeshua Messiah inform us of these consequences, he testifies to the truth and infallible nature of these consequences.
To testify regarding a concept is much stronger than just simply stating a concept.

If your church is not teaching you both of these criteria to be a saint and to be a remnant of the church, then they are taking away from the words of Revelation.
The consequences for that are very bad.
This is something very serious to think and pray about.
Please do so.
