BC I: What is a Star?

An introduction to Biblical Cosmology…

“For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me…”

— John 5:46 KJV

Creation shows the handiwork of God, and our reality is a testament to the glory and power of our Creator. Everywhere we look, from the smallest systems of life, to complex organisms such as humans, there is an order undergirding creation that so called rational and scientific thought processes have been unable to adequately explain. Despite rejecting Christ and viewing God as a tyrant, even Albert Einstein could not help but express his “unbounded admiration for the structure of the world, so far as our science can reveal it.” Ancient thinkers such as Cicero echoed these beliefs, seeing clear signs of a divine hand in creation. Charles Darwin’s Theory of Evolution was created in a direct attempt to refute Genesis and the idea of intelligent design. It is clear from the historical record, which we will cover in later installments, that many of the so called greatest discoveries of rational thought were anything but.

Our society and our world are under a great deal of delusions. Perhaps one of the greatest is the true nature of creation, how we were formed, and the reality that we inhabit. It is not just our politics and history that are shackled by these lies, but every arena conceivable to mankind. Scientific thought, rationalism or empiricism, is steeped in just as much mystery and mysticism as any other religion. Faith is required there too, not in a higher being sure, but on the subjective experience of the “scientist”. No man is objective, and no man is righteous; the scientists that modern society lauds are no different. The personal writings and lives of vaunted paragons of ‘rational’ thought such as Nicolaus Copernicus, Galileo Galilei, Johannes Kepler, Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, and Sir Francis Bacon reveal the truth: all of these men were avowed occultists and practitioners of hermetic magicks, all initiated members of the Mystery religion.

Instead of reconciling our fallen nature and testing our fallible human understanding against God’s infallible word, the modern Church has largely bent over backwards trying to explain away these supposed discoveries. That is done largely by outright rejecting God’s word; either relegating Genesis to a flowery allegory or inventing doctrines that the text clearly doesn’t support, such as the Gap theory. As 1st Peter 1:25 states “the word of the Lord endureth for ever”, and His Truth reveals itself to us to this day. Instead of relying on the promises of Holy Scripture, we have forced our worldly understanding onto God’s revealed Truth. These alleged scientific discoveries, such as evolution or heliocentrism - all seeming to refute God’s Word - have been perhaps the greatest tool in Satan’s arsenal of unbelief against the Church.

If we can not trust the first words of the Holy Bible, the very word of God given to Moses, what can we trust? This dilemma has naturally led to a great deal of confusion and falling away from the Church the past several centuries. The question I pose to you dear reader is this: do you trust Him? His word has already revealed the beauty and grandeur of our world. Despite trying to disprove His word, science continues to prove the veracity of Genesis, such as all of humanity deriving from a single female. We are closer to God then perhaps we even realize, and this Earth is truly his footstool as He reigns enthroned above us (Isaiah 66:1, Acts 7:49).

Psalm 119:105 states “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” Let us see what God’s word has to say on a subject that has spoken to me in a very profound way. I pray you have new eyes to view a subject that has been clouded by centuries of deception, malinformation and lies; the greatest secret that ever had to be concealed. That subject is Biblical Cosmology, in what will be compiled in the ongoing, non-continuous BC series.

What is a star?

Scientists would tell us that it is a super hot ball of plasma, held together by the force of it’s own gravity.

God’s Word says something entirely different. The Hebrew word kokab and the Greek word aster both refer to stars, either directly, or as an allusion to the children of Israel and their multitude (countless, like that of the stars). Below are the verses pertaining to the stars themselves.

Let us start at the beginning (All bold emphasis below is mine):

14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

Genesis 1:14-19 KJV

On the fourth day God created the stars and placed them within the firmament (raqia), the barrier between the Heavenly realms and our world. The stars act as a celestial time piece, allowing us to track days, months, years and seasons. Both the Sun and the Moon give off their own light; the Moon importantly does not reflect the Sun’s light as we can see in the verse above. I don’t believe Moses was stupid. I do not think he was uninformed. The Holy Bible echoes this point again and again:

For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.

Isaiah 13:10 KJV

Moonlight does not act the way sunlight does. We know this not just from Holy Scripture but also from observation. The Sun’s light is hot, and the Moon’s light is cold. The light that the Moon gives off is several degrees colder than the shade at night, as demonstrated in this experiment. Sounds crazy, I know, but you can replicate this experiment very easily and cheaply for yourself. If the Moon were reflecting the light from the Sun it should operate exactly like sunlight, yet it does not. This experiment can be easily replicated with an IR temperature reading device.

Job is the book with the second most references to creation outside of Genesis. In it, we see stars are personified quite explicitly in Chapter 38:

4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

Job 38:4-7 KJV

Curious wording, no? Here we see God himself clearly equating the Sons of God (the Hebrew: elohim, i.e. angels) to the stars. Genesis 1:27, Genesis 6:2 and Job 1:6 further clarify that these elohim, the Sons of God, are spiritual beings created by God. As a partly spiritual being, every human is made in the image of God in that way. It is one of many such verses in the Holy Bible equating these stars with angels, as we see below:

1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights.

2 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.

3 Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.

4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.

Psalm 148:1-4 KJV

The Psalmist clearly equates stars with angels once again. How can a ball of super hot plasma worship God? How can the Sun and the Moon sing him praise? That is clearly an action only a sentient being could perform. The Song of Deborah and Barak makes this same allusion to angels and their ability to interact with the material world:

They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.

Judges 5:20 KJV

That is just one of several verses in the Holy Bible that tell us that spiritual warfare is real and that angels can engage in it. As we can see several times now throughout the Old Testament, the ancient Hebrews understood that the stars were God’s angels.

Both literally and figuratively, stars are nearly always symbolic representations of angels or Israel throughout Holy Scripture. We also see this in the qualities that are ascribed to stars:

There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.

1 Corinthians 15:41 KJV

This glory (Greek: doxa) is the same type of glory (Hebrew: kabowd) referred to in the Old Testament (essentially a sign of God’s divine essence) that the Psalmist refers to in Chapter 8:

3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

Psalm 8:3-5 KJV

Yes the Psalmist knew this truth as well. The stars are the angels of God, and they bear his divine seal just as we do. As the Psalmist also tells us, God knows all of their names:

He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.

Psalm 147:4 KJV

Another rather strange verse in the context of our modern understanding is Daniel 12:3:

And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

Daniel 12:3 KJV

How can a ball of super heated plasma be righteous? This verse also makes no sense viewed through the modernist and materialist lenses. Now if the stars are angels, like Holy Scripture tells us they are, these verses make complete sense and speak to the divine, interwoven congruity of God’s word.

We see descriptions that could not possibly apply to our modern understanding of stars throughout Holy Scripture. Jesus Christ confirms this by reciting the prophecy of Isaiah in the Olivet Discourse:

Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

Matthew 24:29 KJV

Again we see that the Moon gives off her own light. This imagery is described in the other Gospels (Mark 13:25, Luke 21:25) and by other Old Testament prophets (Joel 2:10, Joel 3:15). Christ repeats His prophecies spoken through the prophets of old, confirming their divine origin. Christ was never in error and had a perfect understanding of God’s Word, as He was the Word. He can not lie. Christ confirms for us that the Genesis account of the mechanics of our universe are true.

How can super hot balls of plasma fall to the Earth without utterly obliterating it? The Sun as described by modern science would annihilate the Earth, we’d barely be a pimple on it’s surface, and yet it is the nearest star to us according to proponents of the heliocentric model. Now do we have scriptural evidence that stars can go to earth? Besides the above verse, yes we do, as we see angels interact with humans repeatedly from Genesis onwards. Revelation 9:1-2 describes such a star that fell to earth, a fallen angel (likely Lucifer) who is given the key to the bottomless pit:

9 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.

² And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.

— Revelation 9:1-2 KJV

— The Defeat of Sisera, ill. by Luca Girodano, 1692

Thankfully, the meaning of this symbol is quite explicitly explained by Jesus Christ to John on Patmos:

The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.

Revelation 1:20 KJV

Truly God’s word bears fruit time and time again. The signs of his handiwork are all around us, if we merely spent the time and had the faith to earnestly look. One of the greatest proofs of His existence is the confirmation of a Biblically consistent cosmology. When famed occult magicians - falsely labeled scientists - cast doubt upon the Genesis narrative, it creates a gulf in our belief. Many of us then necessarily, and understandably, begin to doubt other aspects of Holy Scripture as well.

That is why this topic has been distorted, astroturfed, and maligned to the extent that it has.

That is why this truth remains a tightly guarded secret amongst the occult elite of this world unto this day.
