Testimony of the Heavens: God's Redemptive Plan Preserved in the Stars - Paperback

by B. J. Barbich (Author), Dana a. Sherstad (Author)

A thirteen-week Bible study, that examines how "The heavens declare the glory of God" (Ps 19:1 - KJV). You will learn how the heavens boldly proclaim far more than you might have considered. His redemptive promises are found there in great detail. The Testimony of the Heavens uses both scriptural and historical evidence to show that the constellations foretell of the bruised Hero who crushes the head of the enemy (Genesis 3:15), among other prophecies. Scripture and history will also show these very same constellations have been perverted by astrology and myths. The original stories found in the 48 constellations are examined in the light of God's written revelation. You will be amazed as you search the numerous references to the constellations in the Bible and learn how the constellations match the biblical truth. In the same way that Christ is found on every page of Scripture, the revelation of His person, work, and promises can be found in every corner of the sky. Your faith will be strengthened by this Bible study of God's magnificence, power, and loving kindness as He displays His promises to us in the great dome of the sky. Beautiful illustrations of the ancient constellations have been integrated with this study of Scripture, engaging your visual senses with the art of the heavens. Testimony of the Heavens is approved curriculum for home Bible studies at Canyon Hills Community Church, Bothell, Washington. The Rev. Mark G. Barrett, M.Div., Canyon Hills School of Ministry, states, "One of my favorite verses in all the Bible is Psalm 19:1 'The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament sheweth his handywork.' I have raised my children to understand that God's glory is not only found in divine Scripture but also in natural revelation. Sherstad and Barbich's work puts feet to that truth I found their book to be an insightful, enjoyable study that is very well documented biblically. It will open the readers' eyes to the incalculableness of God's cosmic prophetic capabilities in time and space."
