Crescent moon and Venus

I just saw the new Defense Agency logo...quite cryptic I believe. I then asked God what the symbolism might be and this is what I feel he showed me. The picture is 3D in a sense. There are several aspects to its design. First off the star caught me as not being very high in the sky but rather off to the side. I thought to myself what star(or bright object) doesn't rise very high in the sky??? Hmmm....I then thought about how I have often heard reference to Lucifer in conjunction with the planet Venus.
"Lucifer is a Latin word (from the words lucem ferre), literally meaning "light-bearer", which in that language is used as a name for the dawn appearance of the planet Venus, heralding daylight. Use of the word in this sense is uncommon in English, in which "Day Star" or "Morning Star" are more common expressions."

I then read on and found again courtesy of Wikpedia that "because the planet Venus is an inferior planet, meaning that its orbit lies between the orbit of the Earth and the Sun, it can never rise high in the sky at night as seen from Earth. It can be seen in the eastern morning sky for an hour or so before the Sun rises, and in the western evening sky for an hour or so after the Sun sets, but never during the dark of midnight."

"It is the brightest object in the sky after the Sun and the Moon. As bright and as brilliant as it is, ancient people did not understand why they could not see it at midnight like the outer planets, or during midday, like the Sun and Moon. It outshines the planets Saturn and Jupiter, which do last all night, but it soon disappears.(Hmmm... soon disappears? Makes me think of how Satans reign may seem so huge looming over humanity, but his reign is short lived.) Canaanite mythology has a story of an unsuccessful attempt by Athtar, the Morning Star pictured as a god, to take over the throne of Baal."

The part about the orbit of Venus being between the Sun, an enormous circular object and the earth a much smaller object,made sense in light of the new logo, which the two circular objects showing Venus off to the side also forms a crescent. A picture within a picture. I believe the logo is in representation of Satan. Whether knowingly or not it was inspired by the great decieving serpent himself. A reflection of what is looming on the horizon in the not so distant future. Lord I pray that we will have spiritual eyes to see and ears to hear.

In the Blink of an Eye

I would just like to recommend this new christian film called In the Blink of an Eye. It was excellent. The photography, the plot, the characters and the acting was great. Please support Christian films, share them with your family, friends and of course your church. Christian films have come a long way and they need our continued support.


“For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”- Jeremiah 29:11-13
