Tonight, while gazing at Jupiter, Saturn and Venus, I witnessed the biggest shooting star of my life! It was beautiful, bright and wonderful, Glory to God! The meteorite streaked across the night sky, in the same area occupied by all three planets.
Right now, and for the rest of 2021, Venus, Saturn and Jupiter will be easy to spot in the evening sky, shortly after sunset. Venus is easy to locate in the southwestern sky, because its so bright! Jupiter and Saturn are close by, while looking to the south.
A post earlier this year (August) describes some of the phases of Venus.
During December, Venus will continue growing in brightness and will remind many people of the new star that appeared and testified of Jesus and His birth just over two thousand years ago.
Prime is the phase of Venus, when the planet is brightest. At the age of thirty, Jesus was baptized by John, and spent the rest of His mortal life teaching people how to live. For three years Jesus would grow in popularity as He shared His Father’s message, while performing many miracles and healings. And then, the unthinkable occurred, as Jesus, the One with power over death, surrendered Himself, a sinless offering, to satisfy the demands of justice. Jesus died, and on the third day attained to the resurrection, and conquered death for all.
Venus, after reaching its brightest, and most brilliant phase, known as “Prime” will die and disappear from the night sky (in January of 2022). Venus will hide in the underworld for 8 days, and will resurrect, as a morning star. How interesting it is, that Jesus described Himself as the Bright and Morning Star, and Venus follows an orbit that testifies of Jesus and His mission here on Earth.
In January after becoming a morning star, Venus will continue rising each morning before the sun, while moving further north each day, for about 9 months. Venus is a special planet, that will be forever linked with Jesus!
