Extrapolation II

Omens, sorcery, divination, soothsaying, black magic, an observer of the times. These are some of the words that are used in Leviticus 19:26 and Deuteronomy 18:10, in various translations. It even says in one translation not to study the clouds.

Some extrapolation going on here?

Now here's the thing:

Mathew 16:3
"And in the morning, 'There will be a storm today, for the sky is red and threatening.' Do you know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but cannot discern the signs of the times?

Revelation 8:10,11
10And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;

11And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.

So the Bible uses celestial bodies in its foretelling!

Let me be clear, we are to rely on God for everything in our life, and should not be affected by the times or the seasons or events, if God tells us to do something, then we should do it no matter what.

This Friday and Saturday night, 07/07/07, several churches were supposed to join in unity, and praise God for 24 hours on the Preseli mountains in South west Wales, the weather forecast however is rain, which means a possible muddy field. So the signs were read and the proposed event cancelled.

A fiew of us are still going down as we feel it is important.

Surely, this is how you read the signs. Oh! it's going to rain, but God told us to do this, so.... perhaps wellies and a raincoat.

Now after saying all this I am not suggesting that we all take up astrology, only that we do not add or take away from Gods written word and that we do take account of the signs around us and take appropriate measures in order to fulfill what God has called us to do.

Let us not move to the wisdom of this time, let us be true to God, the author and finisher of all things. Amen
