Now, this is a good explanation about the Stars as signs in the heavens. But as we know some have taken this to the extreme.
I found this very interesting.
I love Jacks articles, he had a way of explaining Scripture in a clear and concise way.
The Heavens Declare The Glory of God
By Jack Kinsella
Omega Letter
Long before there were any written Scriptures of which we are aware, men still needed to know about God and man's relationship to Him, and in particular, about His plans for their salvation.
There were no written Scriptures, so far as is known, that predate the Flood, but there were prediluvian prophets; (Abel, Lamech, Enoch) and there were post-diluvian prophets of God prior to Moses; (Melchizidek, Abraham, Joseph).
So it is clear that God revealed Himself to men in various ways long before Moses wrote the Pentateuch. There are prophecies that predate the Flood; Genesis 3:15 contains the prophecy of a Redeemer Who would be the "seed of a woman."
There are prediluvian prophecies still awaiting fulfillment to this present time, as well: "Enoch, seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of His saints."
It is interesting to observe that most ancient religions also have some similar promise of a Redeemer and an eventual Divine judgment, just as there are variations of both the story of Creation and the Flood.
They vary from one belief system to another, but share the same basic elements. Skeptics are fond of pointing to these as evidence the Bible is really based in ancient mythology.
Let's try on a more logical explanation: They share the same basic characteristics because they're based in primeval Divine revelation that was shared to some degree by all ancient people, at least up to the time of the Tower of Babel.
