A Sign In The Heavens?

Is this incredible thing in heavens a sign from God?

Some people are seeing a flying cross, or perhaps a Star of David.

Others say it resembles a ninja-style throwing blade or even a science-fiction spaceship from such Hollywood creations as “Star Wars,” “Star Trek,” “Babylon 5″ or “The Last Starfighter.”

While scientists don’t think it’s a comet, they’re not exactly sure of the precise origin of the incredible object soaring some 90 million miles from Earth, snapped just a few weeks ago by the Hubble Space Telescope.

“I’ve seen thousands of astronomical images over my career, but this is one of the few absolute jaw-droppers: A flying X-pattern with trailing streamers,” said Ray Villard, a contributing writer to Discovery News. “Whatever it is, nothing quite like it has ever before been seen in the heavens.”

The sky is pretty big. Odds are, there are quite a few things up there they’ve never seen before since they can’t watch the entire sky, all at the same time.

“The truth is, we’re still struggling to understand what this means,” comet expert David Jewitt at UCLA told Britain’s Daily Mail. “It’s most likely the result of a recent collision between two asteroids.”

If it is indeed the result of such a collision, it would be the first time astronomers have gazed upon the immediate result of such a crash.

Whatever it is, it’s pretty cool. Which was is it heading? :?

In the New Testament, Jesus Christ predicted celestial signs concerning the end of this current age and His return to Earth to establish the kingdom of God.

“With 2012 doomsday hysteria building, this might get attention on the Internet as yet another omen of the ‘End of Times,’” notes Villard. “Those who’ve overdosed on Nostradamus might see a flying Star of David, or a pentagram.”

While the year 2012 is significant, Obama will be defeated…I’m praying, and the Mayan calender ends, God never gave us a specific date.  He did, however, gives us a lot of indications through His Word.  I’m not saying this is one of His signs, there are plenty of them, right here on Tera Firma we should be watching.  But it might be.  :D
