We all know that “Timing is Everything”.
If you’re waiting for the fastball to guide into center field – Timing.
If you’re standing in front of an audience to make them laugh – Timing.
If you’re running for office and it’s coming together, it has to be – Timing!

Country singer Trace Adkins even wrote a song about it where the first verse goes:

I was just looking back at yet another amazingly fast week and realized that the ancient Jewish celebratory feast of Purim just flew by. This is the story of Queen Esther and how she, one brave woman, rescued her people from the hands of a jealous and murderous band of hoodlums in Persia, led by some official named Haman.  This brave woman accomplished this task alongside her wise relative Mordecai.

WHAT DO THEY MEAN?

When God commanded the stars to give their light, he wanted them to communicate a story. There are a couple of constellations that God specifically mentions to us. All of the constellations tell us about Jesus and our story. There are some interesting insights we can gain from looking at what God says about the stars and constellations. Something we should consider is that the Magi had a working knowledge of the stars which they learned from Daniel. The Eastern Magi held true to the knowledge they learned but the Western Magi distorted the knowledge of the stars into fortunetelling.

If we remember when Jesus was born, the Eastern Magi and their huge entourage came to see the King who was born, but by that time the Western Magi lost their knowledge of God’s Word written in the stars. What we have to remember is that distortion and fortunetelling started before the birth of Jesus. The world does not have the knowledge of God’s Word written in the stars, they have fortunetelling that, as we have seen, has some major flaws. But God Specifically declares three constellations to us from His word, what is He trying to tell us.
