In poetry, stars are often portrayed as “silent witnesses” to Earthly events.
This past weekend, I had the blessing of hiking into Desolation Wilderness with my son. We packed two tents, food, sleeping bags, portable stoves, and both of us carried a can of bear spray.
My son wanted me to see the stars. He wanted to learn more about the constellations. It was a blessing. A trip I will not forget.

At my age, the altitude was a challenge; however, I made it! We setup camp near the lake. My son cooked further away from our tents to make sure bears would not get too close. We finished our bacon, potatoes, and cheese stew over a portable ultra-light camper stove. Then we made sure the bear canister was hung high to deter any bears.
The air at 7000 feet was crisp; no light pollution, no moon, no clouds, and no chemtrails. We watched as the sun moved further away from our location, shadows grew longer until the light that rules the day was hidden behind a mountain.
In the distance, over the lake and above the mountains, the first stars appeared. A distinct pair of stars, like two headlamps, perfectly horizontal, like a pair of eyes opening before any other constellation was visible. There was a very bright planet, Jupiter, just under the left star. I have been watching this sign since Passion Week 2026.
We waited another ~30 minutes to an hour, then the celestial adventure began. More stars had appeared, filling out the constellation with the two bright witnesses gleaming down at us. It confirmed what hundreds of ancient sailors saw as a way to guide their way. The two stars were Pollux and Castor, commonly known as the twins.

Can you spot Jupiter below Pollux, and Castor, aka the Gemini twins?
See names below.
In the screenshot above, the Gemini constellation includes Pollux and Castor at the top, then two stars at their midsection, and two stars at their feet. The 6 parallel stars outline two twin giants - the photo doesn’t give the viewer the true perspective of size. The twins stood very tall on the horizon overlooking the lake and watching us on the far Eastern shore.
There were so many stars in the Heavens. At first, picking out the familiar constellations was a challenge. I could definitely make out Gemini, the twins, but everything else looked different, unrecognizable, given the multitude of surrounding luminaries. The Big Dipper was overhead through the tall trees, but there was this large “question mark” in the Heavens. Using a phone app, I discovered the star pattern to be the head of Leo, and Regulus was the dot in the question mark.
Under Leo was Hydra, the crooked serpent, which spanned the breadth of Leo and Virgo, in the trees. We could just make out Spica shining through an opening between the branches.
By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens;
His hand hath formed the crooked serpent. (Job 26:13, KJV 1900)
And here is the Protoevangelium, the first Gospel,
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. (Genesis 3:15, KJV 1900)
To the right of Gemini was Perseus with the Armor of God and the head of the demon.
Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; 17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication•. (Ephesians 6:13–18, ESV)
We picked our way through the darkness to get a better view of the stars East of us. Bootes with Arcturus filled the sky behind tall trees. He carries a staff and sickle. Then suddenly, Corona Borealis, the 7 diadems appeared through the branches as it rose in the East over shear cliffs. I was in awe of the size and brightness. The man with a sickle and a crown…
Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and seated on the cloud one like a son of man, with a golden crown on his head, and a sharp sickle in his hand. (Revelation 14:14, ESV)
And not to forget the 7 diadems in Revelation 12 worn by the fiery-red dragon, the serpent-of-old, Satan.
And another sign appeared in heaven•: behold, a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven diadems. (Revelation 12:3, ESV)
After a long day hiking and camping… We went to our tents to get some sleep.
I woke up at ~3 AM, and I crawled out of my tent to see Scorpius (the Second Horseman) below Ophiuchus, the serpent bearer - aka Asclepius.
Libra, the Third black horse with a pair of scales, was barely visible in the darkness of the night as the other surrounding stars lit up the great expanse.
And I looked, and behold, a black horse! And its rider had a pair of scales in his hand. (Revelation 6:5, ESV)
Virgo (the Seed of the Woman) filled the sky as she reclined along the ecliptic and above her head were the 9 stars of the Lion of Judah.
As I lay in my tent, the glow of the stars seemed to permeate the thin fabric. I wondered what Apostle John saw when writing the Book of Revelation. Was he describing visions with great signs in Heaven? Were they there to prophesy appointed times?
In this article, we’ll explore:
Who are the Two Witnesses in Revelation?
What is special about this week?
Who ascended into Heaven?
Stars as Witnesses
The Witness of the Stars (1892) by E.W. Bullinger is a classic theological work. It was one of the original studies of the meanings of the zodiac constellations, and it builds the case that the stars tell the story of biblical redemption.
However, other secular writers have also described stars as witnesses.
Sara Teasdale: In her poem “Stars,” the speaker watches the stars “marching stately and still”, we become the observer of the celestial witnesses.2
John Milton: The poet wrote of “Stars, whose light hath lit me onward in the way to higher things,” suggesting they serve as guiding observers of a person’s moral and spiritual journey.
William Shakespeare: Frequently used star imagery to represent fate and destiny, treating them as cosmic entities that “witness” and influence the lives of his characters.
Key Aspects of Shakespeare’s Star Imagery
“Star-Crossed” Lovers (Romeo and Juliet): In the prologue of Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare famously labels the lovers “star-crossed,” indicating they are opposed by malicious stars. This suggests their doomed fate is written in the heavens, creating a sense of inescapable tragedy.
Fate as “Ominous”: Shakespeare often uses astral references to suggest cosmic disapproval or danger. For example, in Romeo and Juliet, Romeo fears “some consequence yet hanging in the stars” before meeting Juliet.
“Defying” the Stars: When characters attempt to fight their fate, they often do so by referencing the stars, such as when Romeo proclaims, “Then I defy you, stars!” upon hearing of Juliet’s apparent death.
Stars as “Witnesses”: The characters often view the stars and heavens as observers or arbiters of justice, such as in King Lear where characters refer to “the stars above us [that] govern our conditions”.
No wonder people were confused and fell into Horoscopes. The stars are not there to determine and direct personal endeavors in life. They are not about me. They are about God and His ultimate plan of Salvation for those who follow the commands of Jesus.
I am reminded that the stars were created by God on the 4th Day of Creation. After the last five years of research I am confident that the Mazzaroth was created to remind us of the struggle between good and evil. A spiritual battle in the Heavens starting in Genesis 3:15 to the return of Jesus Christ.
Revelation and the Two Witnesses
In the following article, we covered a lot of the initial research on this topic.
Are the Two Witnesses from Revelation somehow related to the sign of Gemini in the Heavens?
Let’s review the specific dates of Passion Week and look up in the Heavens. Here is an excerpt from The Signs of Immanuel.
In Fig. 15.5.1, the final timeline dates are shown at the bottom for 33 AD. From left to right, March, April, and May are depicted (note that dates are not to scale). Palm Sunday, the Triumphant Entry, Good Friday, the Resurrection, and Ascension are indicated.
The story of the Two Witnesses in Revelation 11 is played out in the Heavens in the final days of Jesus Immanuel. The two witnesses prophesy, are martyred, resurrected, and ascended. They are a type of the final days of Jesus Immanuel.
…
Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars are aligned, representing Spiritual Warfare between Jesus and Satan as it is aligned in Cancer, denoting “His Possessions Held Secure - Christ the Protector, and Gemini, denoting “His Rule on Earth - Christ the King”.8
Fig. 15.5.1 Passion Week and The Two Witnesses
Notice Easter 2026 is on Sunday, April 5th, 2026. Thus, 40 days later is May 14th, 2026.
Notice where Jupiter is located on May 13th to 14th, 33 AD. It is just below Pollux, denoting “Who comes to Labor and Suffer”. Today in 2026, Jupiter is roughly in the same location as it was in 33 AD. If you can, find a clear view of the Western horizon after sunset, you will see Pollux and Castor with Jupiter below Pollux.
The Gemini twins stand tall at this time of year, from April to June. They are like two great twin lampstands, or two olive trees that have matured and split down the middle. Apostle John describes the story of the Two Witnesses in Revelation Chapter 11 and suddenly interjects the following description to his readers,
4 These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth. 5.
Could John have been describing the Witnesses in the Stars the night of the Crucifixion as they buried Jesus in the tomb?
The witnesses were there night after night watching. The night of the Last Supper, the night He was taken down from the cross, the night before Jesus rose from the dead and appeared to them. The stars and Jupiter were there for at least the 40 days after the Resurrection of Jesus - to the Ascension.
The Twin Witnesses in the Heavens witnessed Passion Week and the Ascension of Jesus Christ. They saw it all just as Apostle John saw it all and then wrote it down.
In Revelation 11, the Two Witnesses were killed and,
9 For three and a half days some from the peoples and tribes and languages and nations will gaze at their dead bodies and refuse to let them be placed in a tomb, 10 and those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and make merry and exchange presents, because these two prophets had been a torment to those who dwell on the earth. 11 But after the three and a half days a breath of life from God entered them, and they stood up on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. 12 Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here!” And they went up to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies watched them. 13 And at that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.
From the Second Temple Judaism and Greco-Roman worldviews, the astronomical influences of the stars may have influenced Apostle John.
He knew that the Gemini twins were witnesses to the Crucifixion, Resurrection, and Ascension of Jesus Christ. The alignment was a spiritual war sign originating from Genesis 3:15 to the First Coming of Jesus Christ to labor and suffer for the salvation of all mankind.
What is special about this week?
2026 and 33 AD both mirror each other in that this is the final week of the 40 Days of Jesus Immanuel before He ascends into Heaven.
Gemini and Jupiter happen to be playing out the same positions so we can observe what the disciples and Jesus saw in the Heavens. The difference is that Mars and Saturn are not in the sign in 2026, but the signs are just as impressive.
Who ascended into Heaven?
Jesus ascends into Heaven in the Gospels.
The Two Witnesses ascend into Heaven in Revelation
Note that the story of the Two Witnesses is packed with imagery. There is more to come in researching the signs.
A new sign has been added, the Fourth Horseman in Capricornus, named death, the day the WHO discouraged worship in the House of the Lord, ceasing the sacrifices of praise to the God of Heaven and Earth.
“This is my offering dear Lord, this is my offering to You God.
And I give you my life, for it’s all I have to give.
“These books are fascinating! If you want to go deeper to understand the Bible, these books are a must. The Bible will come to life through current events. You will see just how accurate God’s Word really is…you realize that only a Great God could set these things in motion from the beginning of time (”In the beginning…”) and finish the end of the Bible with one word from Revelation…“Amen” (make it so).”

I just started the prologue…. I’m hooked!
I just read it again and I was hooked too. 🙂
