Astronomy – The study of objects and matter outside the earth’s atmosphere.
Yet To Come.
Space is for everybody. It’s not just for a few people in science or math, or for a select group of astronauts. That’s our new frontier out there, and it’s everybody’s business to know about space. (Christa McAuliffe)
21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass. 22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. 23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. 24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. 25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. (Revelation 21:21-25 KJV)
As I began the process of researching, writing and putting together SURTSAstronomy, I realized that there were quite a few bible verses that someway…somehow…mentions directly or indirectly, items that qualify under the scientific study of astronomy.
SURTSAstronomy will be divided up into 5 sections:
Old Testament Astronomy Part 1
Old Testament Astronomy Part 2
Astronomy Yet To Come.
What makes Astronomy…Yet To Come the most unique of the 5 sections of SURTSAstronomy, is the simple fact that these events have…Yet To Come. Thus, they are open to a wide array of interpretation and that is what makes it all the more impressive while going through this portion of SURTSAstronomy.
For this section of SURTSAstronomy…Yet To Come, I would ask that you consider the following…
For a book that is not intended to be a book on science, let alone astronomy, it is quite amazing, not only on the amount of science that is in there, but the validity of the references regarding astronomy, that are in there.
Based on the evidence presented, I would submit to you there is absolutely nowhere in the Bible where the astronomy topics are unfounded. I would also submit to you that there is nowhere in the Bible where any scientific discovery since the Bible was put together, has yet to be proven false, regarding astronomy.
What is truly amazing is the fact that many of the facts above were already in the Bible before man and his science…and astronomy, ‘discovered’ them. In multiple cases, by hundreds or thousands of years.
What other religious book has this record?
The point is this:
While the Holy Bible is of course a religious book first and foremost, clearly, it is much more than that.

And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. (Revelation 21:1-5 KJV)

It is not great men who change the world, but weak men in the hands of a great God. (Brother Yun)
