NASA reports, May 19, 2011- SUPER STORM ON SATURN The violence of the storm — the strongest disturbances ever detected in Saturn’s stratosphere — took researchers by surprise. What started as an ordinary disturbance deep in Saturn’s atmosphere punched through the planet’s serene cloud cover to roil the high layer known as the stratosphere.
What our President did yesterday (May 19) took us by surprise too. It was what we hoped would never happen, for our nation to turn against Israel and God’s everlasting covenant with the land.
Saturn is one of the original planets from Creation, one of the inner planets that can be seen with our naked eye.
Genesis 1:14, “And God said, “Let bright lights appear in the sky to separate the day from the night. They will be signs to mark off the seasons, the days, and the years. (15) and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so. (16) Then 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) God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on 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) So the evening and the morning were the fourth day.”
Planets are ‘wandering stars’, constellations are ‘fixed stars’. Jesus said that there would be signs in the heavens before He came back, Matthew 24. Stars pointed to His first coming. Generally, when anything prophetic happens with Israel there is a sign in the heavens.
In Hebrew Saturn is Shabbtai, and means ‘rest’, the Sabbath Rest. What happened yesterday brought a storm to Israel’s hope for rest. The one nation that stood with Israel since 1948 has now turned against her. She stands alone, where nations are concerned. PM Benjamin Netanyahu says, “Israel has one friend, the Evangelical Christians”. I am proud to be one who stands with Israel and God’s covenant promises.
Isaiah 62:1, “For Zion’s sake I will not be silent, for Jerusalem’s sake I will not hold my peace.”
