or listening by mixer or Blog Talk he'll be in the chat room so you can ask by chat room but this is a time look if uh if you've been having questions about any subject I'll do my best to answer if I can't answer it I'll say hey we'll find we'll we'll do some research we'll do some studying we'll figure it out but I think it's healthy and good to do this every now and then because a lot of times it's too much of just me up here talking preaching teaching whatever and we don't get to hear from everybody else and we have a lot of listeners all over the place and I'm sure you know um I don't know why people are scared to ask questions but we get a lot of that we try to get people on the radio show on Tuesday nights to call in with a question or comment and very few do um but if there's been anything on your mind lately question about the Bible about theology about a Doctrine you already got some all right so we're going to start all right what's your what is it question okay you you well you probably need to do that for the radio people please use the microphone question from Facebook all right what are meteors and shooting stars all right meteors and shooting stars now this is what I have come to believe as continuing to study the Bible about what are meteors and shooting stars let's let's go to uh I'll give you an example let's go to Revelation chapter 9. to answer this question and actually in several several places in the Book of Revelation we are really told that stars yes and I know this is going to go against the scientific community and NASA and rasa and all the rest of them okay but the Bible tells us that the Stars and really it's interesting because he says the host of Heaven he refers to them interchangeably stars and angels are used as interchangeable term in the Bible I'll show you everybody in Revelation 9 I didn't quite turn there myself all right let's look at verse one it says here in the fifth angel sounded and I saw a star fall from Heaven unto the earth now that would be a falling star right or what many call them meteor right everybody hear that he said I saw a star fall from Heaven unto the Earth so this wasn't just a vision he saw this happen so he said I saw a star fall from Heaven unto the Earth and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit

and he opened the bottomless pit and there arose smoke out of the pit as the smoke of a great furnace and the Sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke so there you see an angel that says a star falling from heaven and then it says he had the key to the bottomless pit uh go back to revelation let's see we'll go back to uh Revelation chapter one everybody in Revelation chapter one again we let the uh let the Bible speak for itself we don't read anything into it all right Revelation chapter one we'll go down and we'll read um from verse 17 this is Jesus here he says when I saw him John says when I saw him I fell at his feet he's dead and he laid his right hand upon me saying fear not I am the first and the last I am he that liveth and was dead and behold I Am Alive forevermore amen and have the keys of hell and of death write the things which thou has seen in the things which are and the things which shall be Hereafter The Mystery of the Seven Stars which you saw in my right hand and the Seven golden candlesticks the Seven Stars are the Angels of the seven churches and the Seven candlesticks which thou sawst are the seven churches so that's another reference let's do three references on this one so go to Revelation chapter 12. I'm going to show you the term stars and Angels used interchangeably again matter right this is a great question because of course how does how do we we know we see meteors or falling stars we see them in the sky all the time and there are fragments of things we'll get into that in just a second as well what are the fragments that end up making it to the Earth we'll talk about that in just a second what I believe it is but let's look at this this is Revelation chapter 12. verses we'll start at verse one and there appeared a great Wonder in heaven a woman clothed with the sun and the moon at her feet and upon her head a crown of 12 stars and this is of course this is a vision this is a revelation of Israel the woman with 12 crown of 12 Stars that's the 12 tribes of Israel and it says she being with child crying surveilling in birth and pain to be delivered and there appeared another wondered in heaven and behold a great red dragon having seven heads and ten horns and the Seven crowns upon his

Heads This is Satan it's a reference to to Satan and it says and his Tale drew the third part of the stars of heaven and did cast them to the Earth everybody see that so here you have three references and there are more that the stars are angels over in the Old Testament God told them not to worship the host of heaven and he was referring to the the Stars the Sun the moon what we call planets that aren't planets but he told them don't worship them but he used the same phrase host of Heaven as he did for Angels host of angels now let's remember that there's different kinds of angels there's cherubim seraphim right and there's also angels that are simply The Luminaries as The Book of Enoch calls them or lights fire all right now let's let's look at let's look at that let's go to Hebrews one real quick I'll give you one more passage here maybe two I don't know we're on the Fly here what's that okay I'm doing a question and answer uh service here we're letting anybody that wants to ask questions here in the congregation or if you're on blog talk or mixler or on Facebook my wife's monitoring the Facebook feed so um we're doing it so right now I'm answering the question what are meteors um falling stars what does the Bible say about them because Jesus did say that the stars of heaven will fall to the Earth in the last day all of them in fact he says so what NASA has told us stars are that their massive Sons some of them bigger than our son that's a lie it's it's a flat out lie okay and they've they've lied to us and fooled us about a lot of things in fact I've seen you know I saw a video of a NASA um scientists not too long ago talking about all the pictures they have from Hubble now can I just tell you something something else there's been some some Revelations done recently that the Hubble telescope does not exist in outer space there's actually no record of it in NASA data ever being launched into outer space this is all the the entire Space Program folks is a hoax it's a charade it's theater yes do they have rockets and fancy buildings and big big aircraft and planes yes the telescope they have that's actually in the sky not in space the telescope they have called Sophia it's on an aircraft but what this scientist admitted this NASA scientist and I watched the video he admitted that they don't have any colored pictures of anything
