Been thinking about the sign and what it means for Jehovahs people?! Could it perhaps be an inspection or a spiritual birth of the anointed? Many astrologers seem to be in unison about the sign happening in the year 2017. I know bible and astrology are worlds apart but we can learn something from when Jesus was born and how the astrologers were able to identify his star because of this we can not be quick to dismiss what they say as heresy or futility. Not to say they have a share in Jehovahs kingdom am just out lining the events of Jesus birth in relation to the 23rd September 2017 sign.
(Matthew 2:1-8)2 After Jesus had been born in Bethʹle·hema of Ju·deʹa in the days of Herodb the king, look! astrologers from the East came to Jerusalem, 2 saying: “Where is the one born king of the Jews?c For we saw his star when we were in the East, and we have come to do obeisance to him.” 3 At hearing this, King Herod was agitated, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 On gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. 5 They said to him: “In Bethʹle·hemd of Ju·deʹa, for this is how it has been written through the prophet: 6 ‘And you, O Bethʹle·hem of the land of Judah, are by no means the most insignificant city among the governors* of Judah, for out of you will come a governing one,* who will shepherd my people Israel.’”e7 Then Herod secretly summoned the astrologers and carefully ascertained from them the time of the star’s appearing. [COLOR=var(--du-color--blue-500, #4a6da7)]8 When sending them to Bethʹle·hem, he said: “Go make a careful search for the young child, and when you have found him, report back to me so that I too may go and do obeisance to him.”9 After they had heard the king, they went their way, and look! the star they had seen when they were in the East went ahead of them until it came to a stop above where the young child was.10 On seeing the star, they rejoiced with great joy.11 And when they went into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and falling down, they did obeisance to him. They also opened their treasures and presented him with gifts—gold and frankincense and myrrh.12 However, because they were given divine warning in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed for their country by another way
