Having studied both the Bible and astronomy for many years, I am now convinced beyond all doubt that this statement is true. But if you have not yet read the book “Signs in the Sun, Moon and Stars” you probably think I must be wrong about this. For this is certainly an extraordinary claim. And before anyone accepts such a claim, they should demand to see extraordinary evidence of its validity.
So, I now challenge you to read all the extraordinary evidence presented in this book that the many cosmic "signs" of Jesus Christ, which I just referred to, do in fact now appear in the heavens. For it shows where and how all these "signs" can now be clearly seen and easily read by almost everyone.
But before discussing these "signs" any further, we first need to understand what I mean by "signs." First and foremost, signs contain information. But in order to serve as signs, information contained in them must be able to be read and understood by people. For instance, unilluminated advertising signs, shrouded in total darkness, are not really signs at all. For no one can see them. And road signs, created to provide local travelers with driving directions, if written in a language no one in that area can read, will be just as useless. So, only signs that most people can see, read, and understand
can truly be called "signs."
The book “Signs in the Sun, Moon and Stars” shows that these are the kind of "signs" Jesus meant will appear "in the sun, moon and stars" shortly before His return to earth, (Luke 21:25) “signs” that will then personally identify Him as our Creator and Savior, and which almost everyone will then be able to see, read, and understand. This book also shows that all the astronomical measurements, in which all these "signs" of Christ have recently been found, have for most of this past century been well established by thousands of astronomers around the world. However, at the time all these cosmic measurements were determined by astronomers, they did not see how any of them were intended by God to direct our attention to Jesus Christ. Only now are people beginning to do so. For the Bible tells us that God would “seal up” some of its greatest mysteries “until the time of the end.” (Daniel 12:4) And the book “Signs in the Sun, Moon and Stars” shows that we are just now entering that “time.”
This book will further show that several of the numerical "signs,” which can now frequently be seen “in the sun, moon and stars," have also long repeatedly appeared in the pages of Scripture. And like the astronomical “signs” Jesus referred to, these same Biblical numbers were also intended by God to personally identify Jesus Christ as mankind's Savior.
“Signs in the Sun, Moon and Stars” will also help its readers understand numerous other “hard to understand” parts of the Bible, including many of its most mysterious passages. It even shows Christians how they can now effectively respond to many of the most common criticisms of both the Bible and the Christian faith, and by so doing help bring many agnostics, and maybe even a few atheists, to Christ.

Much more information on this book’s contents
is provided in the 30 questions listed below.
1. How do total solar eclipses, which atheistic scientist Isaac Asimov called “the most unlikely coincidence imaginable,” personally identify Jesus Christ as the Creator of the Universe and the Savior of the World?
For the answer to this question, see this book’s 14th chapter, pages 244 and 248.
2. How does the number of miles the Earth travels every day, in its orbit around the Sun, also do so?
For the answer to this question, see this book’s 14th chapter, pages 246 and 248.
3. How does the number of kilometers which the Moon turns every day also testify to Jesus Christ being its Creator?
For the answer to this question, see this book’s 14th chapter, pages 246 and 248.
4. How does the Sun’s scientifically measured brightness, compared to that of the full Moon, once again do so?
For the answer to this question, see this book’s 14th chapter, pages 246 and 248.
5. How does Earth’s distance from its closest star, Proxima Centauri, in kilometers, also in like manner identify Jesus Christ as its Creator?
The answer to this question is found in this book’s 14th chapter, on pages 247 and 248.
6. How does the age of Saturn’s rings, as recently determined by astronomers, identify Jesus Christ as their Creator in this same way?
For the answer to this question, see this book’s 14th chapter, pages 277 and 278.
7. Why did God tell Abraham that his descendants would be “enslaved and mistreated” for a specific number of years? (Genesis 15:13) And how did that number also then point to the time of Jesus Christ?
The answers to these questions can be read in this book’s 2nd chapter on page 24, in its 8th chapter on page 114, and in its 19th chapter on pages 431 and 432.
8. How does the number that mathematicians call “pi,” (3.1415) which appears in all God’s major astronomical creations, direct our attention to the Bible’s first Messianic prophecy, foretelling the coming of Jesus Christ?
For the answer to this question, see this book’s 14th chapter, pages 242 through 244.
9. How does the speed of light (186,000 miles per second) now help us identify the exact date of Jesus Christ’s birth?
For the answer to this question, see this book’s 14th chapter, pages 257 and 258.
10. What 12 numerical "signs" of Jesus Christ now repeatedly appear "in the Sun, Moon and stars”? And how do they all, in 12 different ways, personally identify Him as our Creator and Savior?
This book’s 14th chapter not only shows where all 12 of these number “signs” repeatedly appear “in the sun, moon and stars,” but also how each one of them uniquely identifies Jesus Christ as our Creator and Savior.
11. The second coming to Earth of what asteroid, now heading our way, will serve as “the sign of the Son of Man,” which Jesus said, “will appear in the sky” (Matthew 24:30) shortly before his own second coming to earth?
This book’s 13th chapter provides the name of this asteroid, and the time it will first very closely approach Earth. It also contains the time of its second coming to Earth, as long predicted by astronomers, exactly “seven years” later, on a date that will then be simultaneously celebrated by Christians as “Easter Sunday,” the day of Jesus Christ’s resurrection, and by Jews as their “Passover” holiday.
12. Why does the Bible contain so much chronological information, helping us to assign BC and AD dates to many of the most important historical events recorded in its pages?
For the primary answer to this question, see this book’s 3rd chapter.
13. How many years before the birth of Jesus Christ does Bible chronology indicate God created the man “Adam” of Genesis?
This book’s 3rd chapter shows that exact number of years was only 4,000. However, its 5th chapter explains how, in regard to the time God created the human race, most people misunderstand the Bible’s first three chapters.
14. How many years after God created Adam does the Bible indicate that He created his wife, Eve? And how does it give us this information three times, while also providing us with the year of their disobedience in Eden?
The answers to these questions can be read in the latter part of this book’s 7th chapter and in the early part of its 8th chapter
15. Where exactly was the Garden of Eden? And how does the Bible provide us with its location?
The answers to these questions can be found in the latter part of this book’s 10th chapter. This part of Chapter 10 also contains two maps of what was then known as the land of Eden, and the present location of its then paradise “Garden.” One of these maps contains the modern-day names and locations of all four of Eden’s rivers, as recorded in Genesis, and all its other there named geographical features, including its nearby lands of “Havilah” and “Cush.” (Genesis 2:10-12)
16. Were Adam and Eve literally the “first” two people who ever lived? And if not, how can we understand the events which the Bible tells us took place in the Garden of Eden, and what the apostle Paul said about the “death” Adam brought into the world? (Romans 5:12)
These questions, and many more related to them, are all thoroughly answered in this book’s 5th chapter.
17. Why did God allow 30 people to live longer than His own stated natural “limit” of “about 120 years”? (Genesis 6:3 – The Voice) And why did He permit several of them to live much longer?
The answers to these questions can be found in this book’s 9th chapter on pages 122 through 131, in its 12th chapter on page 225, and in its 19th chapter on pages 460 through 471.
18. Did Noah’s Flood cover the entire earth? And if it did not, how can we understand the Bible’s often “universal” sounding language used in its description? And if that Flood was not global, exactly where and when did it take place?
The answers to these questions, and to many more related to the Biblical Flood, can be found in this book’s 10th chapter.
19. When exactly was the Israelites’ Exodus from Egypt? And what pharaoh then ruled that land?
The answers to these questions can be found in this book’s 9th chapter, on pages 133 through 134, and in its Appendix 1, on pages 570 and 571.
20. When did each of the Old Testament’s 45 Hebrew monarchs begin and end their reigns? And how can we now reconcile all chronological data, both sacred and secular, pertaining to the times they ruled their kingdoms?
A complete reconstruction of the entire chronological history of all the Old Testament’s royal Hebrew rulers, fully reconciling all sacred and secular data, including all so-called “variant” data, is presented in this book’s Appendix 1.
21. How did the twenty years it took for God’s second temple to be built, (between 537 and 517 BC) with its foundation laid in its first year, its building work then interrupted for fourteen years, and its construction then taking five more years to complete, symbolically portray the timeline of the founding and growth of the true Christian church, Jesus Christ’s worldwide body of genuine disciples, before it will finally be complete?
The answer to this question, which includes the story of the first 100 years of the true Christian church, a 1,400-year-long “apostasy” (2 Thessalonians 2:3 – New American Standard Bible) from it prior to the Protestant Reformation, and a final 500-year-long period of time after that before Christ returns, can be read in this book’s 16th chapter, on pages 308 through 311.
22. What were the exact dates of Jesus Christ’s baptism, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension to heaven? And on what date were the first non-Jewish converts to Christianity baptized? (Acts 10) Also, how does Daniel's "70 Weeks" prophecy (Daniel 9:24-27) help us to establish the dates for all five of these very important first-century historical events? And how does a proper understanding of this prophecy show that it has nothing to do with either the timing of the coming “Tribulation” or of the “Rapture”?
These questions are all thoroughly answered in this book’s 11th chapter.
23. How does the year that the 2nd-century BC Syrian king, Antiochus IV, outlawed all practices of the Jewish religion under penalty of death, along with the year he was overthrown by the Maccabees, point to the year that the “Antichrist” will completely outlaw Christianity, and to the year he will later fall from power just before Christ's return?
The answer to this question can be found in this book’s 16th chapter, in its 21st item of discussion on pages 311 and 312.
24. Why did God create the dinosaurs? Also, why and when did He destroy them? And how did the time of their destruction point to the time God will judge this world?
The answers to these questions can be read in this book’s 14th chapter, on pages 265 through 267.
25. To what two time periods do the Bible’s cryptic terms “seven times” and “three and a half times” prophetically refer? (Daniel 4:16, 23, 25, 32; 7:25; 12:7; Revelation 12:4)
The answer to this question can be found in this book’s 7th chapter, on pages 104 through 109.
26. How can we understand the symbolic and prophetic significance of all the Bible’s most enigmatic numbers, from Enoch’s age of “365 years” when “God took him away” to “8th day” circumcision, from the many perplexing numbers found in Ezekiel’s temple vision to the strange measurements of Zechariah’s giant “flying scroll,” from the Gospel of John’s “153 fish” to Revelation’s “144,000” “sealed from all the tribes of Israel,” and many more? (Genesis 5:23-24; Leviticus 12:1-3; Ezekiel chapters 40-44; Zechariah 5:1- 4; John 21:11; Revelation 7:3-4; 14:1-3)
We can do so by reading this entire book, including its 19th chapter entitled, Understanding the Bible’s Most Mysterious Numbers. We can also do so by “continually” asking God in prayer to give us His Holy Spirit, whom Jesus said would “guide” His followers “into all truth.” (John 14:16-18, 26; 15:26; 16:7-8, 13-15; 1 Thessalonians 5:17; 1 John 2:27)
27. How is true Christianity different from all other major organized religions?
The primary answer to this question can be found in this book’s 17th chapter, on pages 396 through 398.
28. How could the apostle Paul have written that in the Christian church “there is neither… male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus,” (Galatians 3:28) but also have written so many clearly contradictory words, such as, “Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak. … If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their husbands at home”? (1 Corinthians 14:34-35)
The sensible answer to this question can be read in this book’s 6th chapter, on pages 82 through 93.
29. How can we see that the Protestant Bible is now, and always has been, a collection of 70 books, signifying spiritual completeness and perfection, and not “66 books” as is usually said?
The very interesting answer to this question can be read in this book’s 12th chapter, on page 221.
30. When will Jesus Christ return to earth, to “reward His servants” and “judge the world”? (Acts 17:31; Revelation 11:18)
Secular history, Bible history, Bible chronology, Bible prophecy, Bible time patterns, the Bible’s use of symbolic numbers, and 12 numerical “signs,” which can now be read “in the sun, moon and stars,” (Luke 21:25) now provide us with many clues to help answer this question. All these matters are closely examined and fully explained in this book’s 700 pages, which can be downloaded here.
Now available below in its easy-to-read, fully searchable, book-identical, PDF form, and here on Amazon as both a Kindle eBook and a 7" wide X 10" high X 1.5" thick, 700 page, paperback book.
