In an earlier time the Church promulgated liturgy so that the whole Church would be united in focus every Sunday throughout the liturgical year. Most Protestants and Charismatics have left the tradition behind, but there is a liturgical year of the Heavens which can help us regain the Unity of Focus which characterizes the liturgical Church.
The Bible says that the Heavens declare the Glory of God (Psalm 19:1) and the liturgy of the Heavens follows the Sun, symbolizing Christ as Champion and Bridegroom, as it moves through the Heavens during the year (Psalm 19:4-6).
The liturgy begins, as does Bible, with the promise that the Seed of Woman will crush the head of the serpent (Genesis 3:15) This promise is pictured in the constellation Virgo (The Virgin), which hosts the sun from September 22 to October 30. The Hebrew religious system, anticipating the Christ, is pictured by the constellation Libra (The Scales) which is next in the sun, from October 31 to November 19. Rounding out the portion of the liturgy corresponding to the Old Testament is Scorpio (The Rebellion) which shows the struggle between good and evil before Christ came, and hosts the sun from November 20 to November 26. From November 27 to December 20 the sun is in Ophiuchus (The Serpent Holder), which represents the restraint of evil and which is usually considered part of Scorpio.
The portion of the liturgy celebrating the Gospels begins with the constellation Sagittarius (The Archer), picturing Christ as the despised Arrow of God (Isaiah 49:1-7), running from December 21 to January 19. Sagittarius was the sign of the coming of Christ as it moved into the Winter Solstice, symbolic of Christ’s coming, in 7BC when John the Baptist was conceived. Our traditional Christmas, December 25, is included in the time of Sagittarius because the traditional Christmas was set on the old Roman Winter Solstice date. The liturgy continues with Capricorn (The Goat) which pictures the sacrifice, death, and resurrection of Christ during the period from January 20 to February 17.
The Church Age, which began with outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost, is covered by the constellation Aquarius (The Water Pourer) showing the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and which is in the Sun from February 18 to March 19. Then, from March 20 to April 18, the sun is Pisces (The Fish) which pictures the joining of two Fish representing Jews and Gentiles joining together to form the Church. Finally, from April 19 to May 17 the Sun is hosted by the constellation Ares (The Ram) which speaks of the end of the Age.
The Second Coming of Christ is shown in the constellation Taurus (The Bull) which is in the Sun during the portion of the liturgical year between May 18 and June 20. We believe that the movement of Taurus into the Summer Solstice, June 21, by the precession of the equinoxes in 2121AD is a sign of the Second Coming of Christ similar to the movement of Sagittarius into the Winter Solstice in 7BC which was a sign of the Advent of Christ. Then comes Gemini (The Twins) during the liturgical time of June 21 to July 20, pointing to the millennial reign of Christ on Earth.
The final two constellations of the liturgical year speak of the final destination of humanity. From July 21 to August 10 the sun is in Cancer (The Holding Place) which symbolizes Heaven, home of the believers with God. For those who do not choose to join God’s family another fate awaits, symbolized by Leo (The Lion) during the liturgical year for August 11 to September 21. We call it Hell.

So tonight as you look at the Stars join in with the liturgy of Heaven. The sun has just entered the portion of the liturgical year of Ophiuchus (The Serpent Holder) focusing on the restraint of evil.
Let us get in step with Heaven’s message and pray that God will deliver us from evil during these dark days of rancor and division in our country.
