Star Light, Star Bright
Part I:
(Revelation 22:12-14,Luke 8:10,Genesis 1:6,Genesis 1:14, 1 Corinthians 11:34, Isaiah 14:12-14,Isaiah 47:10,Psalms 8:4,Ezekiel 32:7, Isaiah 13:10, Ezekiel 32:6-8, Revelation 12:4, Daniel 8:10, Obadiah 1:4, Nahum 3:16, Jeremiah 31:35,Psalm 148:3,Daniel 4:17,1 Corinthians 14:40, Judges 5:20,1 Corinthians 15:23, Isaiah 9:7, Daniel 5:25-27, Jeremiah 39:16, Judges 5:20, Jude 1:6,Deuteronomy 1:10,Numbers 35:34, Zechariah 1:4, Job 37:56,Judges 5:30, Revelations 8:12, 2 Corinthians 10:12-14,Exodus 14:22)
“And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.” And He said, “To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is given in parables, that ‘Seeing they may not see, And hearing they may not understand.’
Then God said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.”Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night;
The Lord your God has multiplied you, and here you are today, as the stars of heaven in multitude.
“How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!
How you are cut down to the ground,You who weakened the nations! For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;I will also sit on the mount of the congregation On the farthest sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.’
“For you have trusted in your wickedness; You have said, ‘No one sees me’; Your wisdom and your knowledge have warped you; And you have said in your heart,
‘I am, and there is no one else besides me.’
(“What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him?)
That You may silence the enemy and the avenger...
When I put out your light, I will cover the heavens, and make its stars dark;I will cover the sun with a cloud, And the moon shall not give her light. For the stars of heaven and their constellations Will not give their light;The sun will be darkened in its going forth, and the moon will not cause its light to shine. “I will also water the land with the flow of your blood, Even to the mountains; And the riverbeds will be full of you.
(His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And it cast down some of the host and some of the stars to the ground, and trampled them).
Though you ascend as high as the eagle, And though you set your nest among the stars, From there I will bring you down,” says the Lord. You have multiplied your merchants more than the stars of heaven.
Thus says the Lord, Who gives the sun for a light by day,The ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night, Who disturbs the sea, And its waves roar (The Lord of hosts is His name): Praise Him, sun and moon; Praise Him, all you stars of light! In order that the living may know That the Most High rules in the kingdom of men,Gives it to whomever He will, and sets over it the lowest of men.’
Let all things be done decently and in order. They fought from the heavens; The stars from their courses fought. But each one in his own order:
There will be no end, Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom,To order it and establish it with judgment and justice From that time forward, even forever.The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
This is the interpretation of each word. MENE: God has numbered your kingdom, and finished it; TEKEL: You have been weighed in the balances, and found wanting; PERES: Your kingdom has been divided,
‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Behold, I will bring My words upon this city for adversity and not for good, and they shall be performed in that day before you.
..“The kings came and fought;They took no spoils of silver. They fought from the heavens;The stars from their courses fought against Sisera. And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day. Therefore, do not defile the land which you inhabit, in the midst of which I dwell; for I the Lord dwell among the children of Israel.’”
“Do not be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets preached, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Turn now from your evil ways and your evil deeds.”’ But they did not hear nor heed Me,” says the Lord.
Hypocrites! You can discern the face of the sky and of the earth, but how is it you do not discern this time?
“Your fathers, where are they? And the prophets, do they live forever?
“Thus let all Your enemies perish, O Lord! But let those who love Him be like the sun When it comes out in full strength.”
For we dare not class ourselves or compare ourselves with those who commend themselves. But they, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise. We, however, will not boast beyond measure, but within the limits of the sphere which God appointed us—a sphere which especially includes you. For we are not overextending ourselves (as though our authority did not extend to you), for it was to you that we came with the gospel of Christ;

Fourth Trumpet: Then the fourth angel sounded: And a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night. So the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
But if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, lest you come together for judgment. And the rest I will set in order when I come.
