God’s Message in the Stars
The heavens declare the glory of God
Isaiah 47:11-13 But evil will come on you Which you will not know how to charm away; and disaster will fall on you for which you cannot atone, and destruction about which you do not know will come on you suddenly. 12 "Stand fast now in your spells and in your many sorceries with which you have labored from your youth; perhaps you will be able to profit, perhaps you may cause trembling. 13 "You are wearied with your many counsels; let now the astrologers, those who prophesy by the stars, those who predict by the new moons, stand up and save you from what will come upon you.
Deuteronomy 4:19 When you look up to the sky and see the sun, moon, and stars —the whole heavenly creation—you must not be seduced to worship and serve them, for the Lord your God has assigned them to all the people of the world.
Any Israelite who served or worshiped the sun, moon, or stars was condemned to death under the Mosaic Law (Deut. 17:2-4).
Romans 10:13-18 … for "Whoever will call upon the name of the LORD will be saved." 14) How then shall they call upon Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him whom they have not heard ? And how shall they hear without a preacher? 15) And how shall they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring glad tidings of good things!" 16) However, they did not all heed the glad tidings ; for Isaiah says, "LORD, who has believed our report ?" 17) So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ. 18) But I say, surely they have never heard , have they? Indeed they have ; "Their voice has gone out into all the earth, And their words to the ends of the world."
Psalm 19:1-4

Psalm 89:37 It
[God’s covenant]
shall be established forever like the moon, and THE WITNESS IN THE SKY IS FAITHFUL.
One could say that the constellations that are formed by stars tell a picture-story of the gospel so that everyone can understand it. You might even call it “sign language”.

The Sun is so large that it would take over 100,000 earths placed side by side just to span its diameter!
Four million tons of the Sun’s matter is changed into energy every second.
