And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the Moon, and in the stars;
and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and
the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for
looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers
of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see THE SON OF
MAN COMING IN A CLOUD with power and great glory. And when these
things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads;
for your redemption draweth nigh. ~ Luke 21:25-28
And
God said, Let
there be stars in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from
the night; and LET THEM BE FOR SIGNS [Omens] and for seasons~ Genesis
1:14
