THE SPIRITUAL MEANING OF THE HEAVENLY SIGNS ON TU B'AV 2024

Dancing For Joy!

Before I discuss the Signs in the Heavens and the importance of Tu B'Av or the 15th of Av, which is on Monday, August 19th this year, I would like to open this article with a call to all Born Again Believers to seek the fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit. We are living very close to the end of this Age, and Satan is on a rampage against anyone who wants to share the Gospel of the Kingdom of God with the lost. All believers need to utilize the fruits and gifts of the Spirit to reach the lost before the Rapture occurs, and the doorway into Heaven closes. 

In this regard, there's many passages in the New Testament that reveal the power and authority that we were given over 2,000 years ago, when Yahshua sent the Holy Spirit to enter the hearts and minds of His Apostles and disciples. 

It's beyond the scope of this article to comment on all the scripture passages detailing the power that God has given to His servants. But I hope to concentrate on the way we can use our God-given authority and the Word of God in the Bible to protect ourselves from demonic oppression and satanic attacks, and also bring many blessings upon our homes and families, and our places of work. 

In the illustration below, the constellations Orion the Hunter and Taurus the Bull are shown as they will appear on Tu B'Av this year. The messages on the illustration are geared towards those interested in knowing how these Signs tie into this minor Jewish Feast. But there's more to these signs than just what I shared on the image.

The Signs in Taurus and Orion on Tu B'Av 2024

In regard to spiritual warfare, it's interesting to note that Orion is symbolic of Yahshua or Jesus coming to conquer the wicked, as well as His profoundly important role in our redemption and salvation. Orion is poised as if to strike the Bull above him with a damaging blow to its head. This is a symbol of enmity between our Messiah Yahshua and the world controlled by Satan, which is signified by the angry bull. It is therefore a warning sign that all those who love God are part of this Spiritual War, and it needs to be fought along spiritual lines rather than by force of arms. As it says in the Apostle Paul's letter to the Ephesians:

Ephesians 6:12For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

All disciples of Yahshua need to start exercising their spiritual authority daily. This is because Satan wants to rob all of us of our God-given dominion and authority over the entire Earth. This authority was given to mankind when they were created. However, Satan wanted the authority that God had given to mankind, and so he tempted Eve to sin. By listening to Satan's lies, and doing what they were forbidden by God to do on pain of death, Adam and Eve both lost their dominion and authority, and became subject to judgment and death. 

Sadly, Satan wants to destroy the knowledge of the Truth that Born Again Believers in Yahshua are not only made in the image of God, but also have been given the spiritual authority and dominion over the Earth that they lost when they sinned in the Garden of Eden. But to reverse this curse, God has returned their authority, and given every Born Again Believer the ability to protect their homes, heal their sick, cast out demons, multiply resources, and love one another as Christ taught us. BUt we need to remember to pray continually!

Remember to Pray Continually!

Even though the world and false teachers are constantly trying to rob us of this power from God, we must persevere! It is our steadfast perseverance, and the power ot the Holy Spirit that empowers us to speak our prayers into being so that they can see fruition! This power from God is available to all Born Again Believers, and it is ours from the moment we are covered by the blood of Yahshua through our Faith. We can therefore ask for anything within God's Will, and we will receive it!.

When we believe in Yahshua, and we love and follow His commandments, we can do the same miracles that He did, and with the same authority and power. Indeed, if all of the Christians on this planet finally united as one under the power of the Holy Spirit, and began to use God's authority to love, heal, bless and help one another, maybe that would speed Yahshua's Second Coming. 

When Yahshua comes again, He will destroy the armies of the wicked, and then He will renew the Earth before the beginning of His Millennial Kingdom. This is when the Earth will be restored to its Edenic state. It will become as it was prior to the Fall of Adam and Eve. At this time, the lion will lie down with the lamb, and little children will interact with all sorts of animals without fear. Here are some Scriptures that speak about this future time:

Isaiah 11:6-7:
“The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb,
The leopard shall lie down with the young goat,
The calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
And a little child shall lead them.
7 The cow and the bear shall graze;
Their young ones shall lie down together;
And the lion shall eat straw like the ox.”

Isaiah 65:24-25:
“It shall come to pass
That before they call, I will answer;
And while they are still speaking, I will hear.
25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together,
The lion shall eat straw like the ox,
And dust shall be the serpent’s food.
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all
My holy mountain...”

I'm hoping that we're close to reaching that point in History right now, and the Rapture may be about to occur at any moment. In that regard, I've been looking at the earthly Signs that Yahshua is coming soon, and the ever increasing threat of an Iranian attack on Israel is a definite Sign that Yahshua could be coming to rescue His Saints in Assyria and the entire Middle East very soon, This miraculous deliverance is mentioned in Scripture:

Isaiah 27:12-13:
“And it shall come to pass in that day
That the Lord will thresh,
From the channel of the River
to the Brook of Egypt;
And you will be gathered one by one,
O you children of Israel.
13 So it shall be in that day:
The great trumpet will be blown;
They will come, who are about to
perish in the land of Assyria,
And they who are outcasts
in the land of Egypt,
And shall worship the Lord
 in the holy mount at Jerusalem.”

Although we can't know exactly when Yahshua is going to come and rescue His Saints, I've been looking at the 15th of the Jewish month of Av. This minor Feast of Israel is called Tu B'Av in Hebrew. In modern times, this minor Jewish Feast Day has become a bit like Valentine's Day in the United States. On this day, betrothals, engagements, weddings and anniversary parties are held  in the the modern nation of Israel. 

Because it is connected to courtship, engagement, and weddings, Tu B'Av could be connected to the Rapture or Catching Away. This is due to the fact that the born-again Saints are to be caught up to the Third Heaven to attend the Bema Seat Judgment and the Wedding of the Lamb at that time. 

Signs in Leo the Lion on Tu B'Av, 2024

This Heavenly Wedding is referred to in the Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins in the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 25. In this parable, the Wise Virgins are the only ones that are allowed to enter the Palace of the King of kings to participate in the Wedding Feast. These same Saints will accompany Yahshua when He returns to the Earth to slaughter the armies surrounding Jerusalem and the other enemies of Israel. At that time, He will also restore the ruined Earth in preparation for His Millennial Rule. As shown in the illustration above this paragraph, the Signs in the constellation Leo the Lion echo this message of the glorious return of the King of Kings!

Woman Folk Dancing, Early 20th Century

Since Ancient Times, Tu B'Av has always centered around betrothals and wedding plans. As a minor Harvest festival, the young maidens intent on finding a husband would gather in the orchards of Israel and visit with one another as they danced, sang and spoke together. Meanwhile, the young men of the local villages would gather together on the outskirts of the orchards and look at the maidens while thinking about finding a potential wife among them. The young maidens didn't mind this because they wanted to start a family, and have a home of their own to tend and beautify. 

Working towards that goal, the young virgin maidens of Israel would soon form folk dance circles. Or they might meander through the orchard as they danced, all the while with their hands clasped together. Because this was a way for young men to view the available selection of virgins as potential wives, the young men of the villages were very well acquainted with this custom! So there would potentially be crowds of young men watching the ladies while they danced and sang and spoke together to the accomplishment of tambourines and cymbals. 

If they got hungry, the maidens might even have picked some of the ripe fruit on the trees in the orchards, and sampled them as they laughed and talked together, with the young men watching in light-hearted amusement. Although there is no way for us to know what exactly was done in Ancient times, I find my imagination helping me to picture what this celebration in the orchards of Israel  may have been like.

The point I'm trying to make with all this imagery and history is that the 15th of Av, beginning on the night of August 18th, could be the day of the Rapture. . Interestingly, there will be a Super Blue Moon on the night of August 19th, the night after Tu B'Av. It's a Blue Moon because it is the third of four Full Moons of this 3 month Summer season, which usually has only 3 Full Moons. In addition, it's a Super Moon, which means that the Moon is physically closer to the Earth and looks slightly bigger in the night time sky than it ordinarily would. This is a fairly rare occurrence. 

This Full Moon on the night of August 19th is also called the Sturgeon Moon by the Native Americans, who found sturgeon fish easier to catch at this time of year. There are also some Heavenly Signs this Tu B'Av that could refer to Sturgeons, as I will now explain.

Since interpreting the Heavenly Signs is my specialty, I find the Signs in the Heavens on the 18th and 19th of this August to be complimentary to the idea of the Catching Away and the Wedding in Heaven. As the image above shows, the Heavenly message in the Sign of Aquarius the Water-Bearer, and in the adjacent Sign of Capricorn the Goat-Fish imply that the Rapture could be very soon. But since no one knows the exact day and hour, this is only hopeful speculation on my part. But I would be ecstatic if the Rapture were to occur this next Sunday or Monday night! 

A Giant Sturgeon

In regard to the current and past Heavenly Signs of 2024, it's interesting to note that some species of sturgeon fish can get very large. In fact, the giant sturgeons can grow to be nearly 50 feet (15 meters) long, and weigh well over 3000 pounds (1,360 kilos)! Furthermore, giant sturgeons have been found in seas, rivers and lakes all over the world. As a result, some scholars suspect that the big fish that swallowed the prophet Jonah and then spit him out three days later may have been a giant sturgeon.

Jonah's story is one of rebellion, chastisement, repentance, forgiveness of sin, redemption and salvation. This ties in well with the messages that the Stars in the Heavens have been giving us for most of this year, which is tied to the Sign of Jonah. In the heavens, the story of Jonah is tied to the constellations Aquarius, Piscis Austrinus, Pisces, Cetus and Capricorn. 


Noah Sees The Rainbow Promise!

Fascinatingly, these same constellations are tied to the story of the Great Flood of Noah, and the building of Noah's Ark. Both Jonah and Noah witnessed God's judgment, saw His forgiveness, and received His redemption from death. These events had similar themes to the redemption and salvation messages tied to the Catching Away or Rapture. There are also notable Heavenly Signs in Leo, Taurus and Orion this Tu B'Av. Please read the 4 main Star Gospel Graphics in this article to get an understanding of what these Heavenly Signs mean.

There are so many Signs in this world right now that are almost shouting that Yahshua is coming again very soon. These include worldwide increases in sexual immorality, and physical and emotional violence, murder, theft and prevarication. Because of this, it's good for us not to lose hope, and to remember God's promises of power, protection and deliverance. This will help us to use the divine authority that we have been given by the Holy Spirit within us, and we can strive to drive evil out of our homes, neighborhoods, and nations as we await Yahshua's glorious return.
