Realistically Speaking
Mazzaroth Cosmology, Not Astrology Part 1 “Earth, Stay In Your Lane”
I remember it was a sunny day, standing out in the middle of the yard, talking to my father. For the life of me, I can't remember what the subject was about but I made the comment "as the sun moves over across" my father looked at me with a grin and said "no honey, we're spinning around the sun. The earth moves around the sun”. My first instinct was to look around but quickly felt very stupid being an adolescent, remembering in school the spinning balls on string Science Projects. I guess this was one of the many moments that shaped me into a dizzy blond. It’s a title I hold with honor. This was something I was supposed to know in school, but didn't really get it. I guess it wasn't important to me and for many years, actually most of my life it hasn't been. It seemed too complicated to make any sense. Although my family loved to keep up with NASA news, I never had the interest. Too much math! Then when I watched the challenger explosion, it completely separated me from ever wanting to know anything about space travel.
But who can resist the beauty of a pitch black clear night filled with stars? On a perfect summer night, I used to lay outside on the lawn chair, looking up (that was before cell phones) and see all those stars. “ Lucy in the Sky with diamonds”. My favorites and the only ones I knew, the big dipper and little dipper. Funny every night I would see them right above me. l questioned why I could see them in the same place each night. But it wasn't important. I remember purposefully getting up in the middle of the night just to see the shower of hundreds of shooting stars. It was so incredible. Some thing I noticed at the time, all the stars were shooting down. But I guess if we’re moving through space spinning 1,037 mph everyday at the equator, it’s different depending on where you are. Then around the sun at 67,100 mph, through the galaxy at 447,000 mph. This brings us to 66,627 mph total. That should be right, right? This is what I mean about too much math! It’s a miracle we don’t hit something! Thank God Earth is not changing lanes. 😂
It’s so amazing how the world we live in doesn’t show us dizzy blonds any of that. Just the peaceful bliss of a magnificently created world. One you would experience “in the green pastures, beside the still waters”, Psalm 23. In fact God says he made the heavens for us to know when the signs, seasons, times, and years are. How incredible is that? Like a clock. Here I thought it was just a bunch of lights in the sky. But NASA is able to tell us when comets will come into view or when an eclipse would take place. Down to the time and place! I guess I should have paid more attention in science class. I was into making electricity with magnets and coiled copper wire. No genius here, my Dad helped. I still maintained my dizzy blond status.
I find it fascinating to know God created the heavens for us to follow. Not to worship, but to use as a tool for life on earth. So without His light, we would never exist.
By Lucy
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. Genesis 1:14-15
