Loving the Sun, Moon and Stars

And this is why I LOVE the sun, moon and stars SO much!

Genesis 1:16
16 And God made the two great light-bearers, the greater light-bearer to rule the day and the lesser light-bearer to rule the night, and the stars.

FN2 The sun, signifying Christ. The overcoming saints were also likened to the sun by the Lord Jesus. 

FN3 The moon. In Joseph's dream his father is likened to the sun, his mother, to the moon, and his brothers, to the stars. The moon can be considered a figure of the church, the wife of Christ. The moon has no light of its own but shines in the night reflecting the light of the sun. Likewise, the church shines in the dark night of the church age by reflecting the divine light of Christ. 

FN4 The stars first signify Christ. Although Christ is the real sun, He does not appear as the sun during the present age of night. Rather, He shines as the bright morning star. The stars also signify the overcoming saint. The light from the stars is needed particularly when the moon wanes; likewise, the shining of the overcoming saints as the heavenly stars is needed particularly in the time of the church's degradation.
