Dear Bibleman,
Fisrt, thanks for your explanation of the "Star"
and related information. This is the first time someone has given me logical reasons behind its meaning.
Also, I appreciate how Jehovah teaches through natural creation symbolizisms. This could be explored more, I am sure. My Native American studies have develop some interesting discoveries regarding "petroglyphs" . These ancient records, for peoples without the alphbetic type of writing, were pecked and carved on rocks and painted on walls of caves. Most likely the families could use these icons to remind them of stories that they could pass down through time. Stories that could explain life and man's purpose in time. One such legend with a symbol of one spiral connecting another represents passing from one world to the new world. The starting piont is where they came out of Motherearth's womb. My many years of living with this has made me wonder about these petroglyphs and why they have survived the many years, with these fasinating icons. There evidence that knowledge from Jehovah has spread to all corners of the earth. They are found around the world.
The zenith for Jehovah is above all but man has reach many in his time and only to slide down into darkness. I hope we can all share the wonders of the universe together and not have to look back at the mess of mankind is today or ever fall back into it. The bright "DayStar" assures us of that and every time I see the symbol among the petroglyphs, I am reminded of Jehovah's way of salvation in Jesus. The "DayStar" is not rising in the "mind" where Satan tries to control but in the "heart" where we are motivated in love for what is right.
I have been involved with the WT for many years and have disassociated from their mind control. But my heart is open to Jehovah and Jesus. The light of the "DayStar" is truly bright.
Best wishes and Thanks so much,
Petro
