This document discusses the heavens and their hosts from a biblical perspective over multiple pages. It begins by introducing the concept of three heavens - the first, second and third heavens. It then focuses on the first heaven, describing it as having two parts: the atmosphere and the celestial heaven beyond where stars, sun and moon exist. It provides several biblical examples of God's control over celestial bodies and warns against worshipping creation rather than the Creator. The document distinguishes astronomy from the occult practice of astrology, urging readers to renounce involvement with astrology.

4. • As prophetic people that we are, we need to train our senses
and be aware of the natural and supernatural realms that are
around us, in that way we can be more effective to discern,
receive revelation and have inspiration about the end time
happenings.
• Jesus said no one is able to know or to say when the Day of
the Lod would take place.

a distraction.
• Discussing on the heavens and its hosts will help us out to
have some understanding of this things.

24. THE HEAVENS ARE DIVIDED
IN TWO TYPES
• The natural or physical heaven, Which is
visible and perceptible with our senses,
and
• The supernatural or spiritual heavens,
which cannot be perceived with our
senses.

25. THE FIRST HEAVEN,
IS THE VISIBLE ONE
• The first heaven is composed in two parts.
• The closest part of this heaven is the atmosphere,
where many activities happen and are perceptible by
our senses. (Clouds, rain, snow, wind, hail.)
• The celestial heaven is far beyond the atmosphere and
sometimes in the bible is called expanse, sky, or
firmament, and is where the sun, the moon and the
starts are located. Here also is our solar system with
the earth in it. Billions of galaxies are flooding the sky.

26. THE SECOND AND THIRD
HEAVENS ARE THE UNSEEN
ONES
• The supernatural or spiritual heavens, which
cannot be perceived with our senses.
• The second heaven is where spiritual warfare
takes place.
• The third heaven is where God has his Throne.
• We will touch this ones in the coming lessons.
• Today we are going to discuss the “First
Heaven.”

27. GENESIS 1:6-8 (NKJV)
• 6 Then God said, “Let there be a firmament in
the midst of the waters, and let it divide the
waters from the waters.” 7 Thus God made the
firmament, and divided the waters
which were under the firmament from the
waters which were above the firmament; and it
was so. 8 And God called the firmament
Heaven. So the evening and the morning were
the second day.

now toward heaven, and count the stars if you
are able to number them.” And He said to him,
“So shall your descendants be.”

the LORD.

dominion over the celestial
bodies.

some examples.

38. JOSHUA 10:12 (NKJV)
• 12 Then Joshua spoke to the LORD in the
day when the LORD delivered up the
Amorites before the children of Israel,
and he said in the sight of Israel:
• “Sun, stand still over Gibeon;
And Moon, in the Valley of Aijalon.”

39. JOSHUA 10:13 (NKJV)
• 13 So the sun stood still,
And the moon stopped,
Till the people had revenge
Upon their enemies.
• Is this not written in the Book of Jasher?
So the sun stood still in the midst of
heaven, and did not hasten to
go down for about a whole day.

no sound is heard from them.

50. BLOOD MOONS TETRAD
• The number of "blood moons" seen in 2014 -
2015 sparked some theories about possible
dangers to humanity.
• Also rumors of a link between the eclipses and
biblical prophecies of the apocalypse — a
theory also popularized in the book called
"Four Blood Moons" by John Hagee (Worthy
Publishing, 2013).

52. SUPER MOON
NOVEMBER 2016
• Supermoon: difference in size between the
smallest and largest moon appearances
• A supermoon occurs when a full moon
coincides with the closest (perigee) position
in the moon's orbit, resulting in a moon that
appears larger and brighter than normal.
Here you can see the size difference
compared with the smallest possible full
moon (apogee)

54. THE HAND OF GOD
IN THE CLOUDS

55. • We are called to worship the Creator of
everything that is and exists and not the
objects made by the Creator.
• Let’s have a quick look into what is astronomy
and what is astrology.

56. ASTRONOMY
• Definition of astronomy:
• Astronomy is the study of the sun, moon, stars,
planets, comets, gas, galaxies, dust and other non-
Earthly bodies and phenomena.
• NASA defines astronomy as simple “the study of stars,
planets and space.”
• Astronomy and astrology were historically associated,
but astrology is not a science and is no longer
recognized as having anything to do with astronomy.

57. ASTROLOGY
• Astrology is a pseudo-science based on the
view that the stars and planets exert a strong
influence on human affairs.
• It claims that the relative positions of the
heavenly bodies at an individual’s birth
determine his or her basic makeup, and that
changing astral positions can be used to
predict the future.

58. • However, because the heavens were never
intended for these purposes, astrology is a
dangerous and wrongful practice.
• Stars were created for calendar keeping and for
declaring God’s glory. To use them otherwise is
idolatry, as warned against throughout
Scripture (Deut. 4:19; 2 Kings 23:5; Isa. 47:13).

59. • The distribution of the heavens at the moment
of birth is supposed to determine one’s astrological
sign and thus one’s personality and future.
• One’s so-called astrological sign is no longer
valid. Because of the precession of the Earth’s
axis, a person is actually born under a different
star sign than is assigned by the outdated
horoscopes in use today.

60. •Astrology is connected
with the forces of evil and
can lead to other
occult practices that
will keep its users in
bondage to sin.

61. • Astrology is based on the former positions of
stars (as they were 3,000 years ago
in Babylonian times). Each year, the error in
dating the zodiac signs grows greater.
• It is impossible for the stars to have an effect on
a person, much less on world events.
• The gravity of stars and planets is the only force
that acts through space distances, and its effect
is negligible on Earth.

62. ZODIAC; MERRIAM-WEBSTER
• Definition of ZODIAC
• 1a : an imaginary band in the heavens
centered on the ecliptic that encompasses the
apparent paths of all the planets and is divided
into 12 constellations or signs each taken for
astrological purposes to extend 30 degrees of
longitude b : a figure representing the signs of
the zodiac and their symbols
• 2: a cyclic course

67. THE FOUR EQUINOX

68. MERRIAM-WEBSTER
• Definition of HOROSCOPE
• 1: a diagram of the relative positions of
planets and signs of the zodiac at a specific
time (as at one's birth) for use by astrologers in
inferring individual character and personality
traits and in foretelling events of a person's life
• 2: an astrological forecast

69. ASTROLOGY
IS A DANGEROUS THING.
• A word about Astrology:
• Satan's lie of "astrology" is a perversion of the
original star charts and use. The names of the
stars and pictures on the sky map were used to
describe the progression of the time table of God's
plan of salvation for mankind, not to tell a person's
fortune or future. This is just another instance
where the demonic has perverted the truth to
keep people from knowing who they REALLY are
and how important they are to the Creator of this
universe!

70. ASTROLOGY
IS A TYPE OF DIVINATION.
• This needs to be renounced.
• You are the author of your destiny through Jesus
Christ.
• You are free of all lies that "astrology" says about
you.
• You are the child of God who is the Creator of the
whole universe.
• You are not a victim of what an astrological chart
says!
• You are who God says you are!
