Stars

God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night. And He made the stars as well.

And the LORD took him outside and said, “Now look to the heavens and count the stars, if you are able.” Then He told him, “So shall your offspring be.”

I will surely bless you, and I will multiply your descendants like the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will possess the gates of their enemies.

I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky, and I will give them all these lands, and through your offspring all nations of the earth will be blessed,

Then Joseph had another dream and told it to his brothers. “Look,” he said, “I had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me.”

Remember Your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, to whom You swore by Your very self when You declared, ‘I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky, and I will give your descendants all this land that I have promised, and it shall be their inheritance forever.’”

The LORD your God has multiplied you, so that today you are as numerous as the stars in the sky.

When you look to the heavens and see the sun and moon and stars—all the host of heaven—do not be enticed to bow down and worship what the LORD your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven.

Your fathers went down to Egypt, seventy in all, and now the LORD your God has made you as numerous as the stars in the sky.

You who were as numerous as the stars in the sky will be left few in number, because you would not obey the voice of the LORD your God.

From the heavens the stars fought; from their courses they fought against Sisera.

David did not count the men aged twenty or under, because the LORD had said that He would make Israel as numerous as the stars of the sky.

So we continued the work, while half of the men held spears from the break of dawn until the stars came out.

You multiplied their descendants like the stars of heaven and brought them to the land You had told their fathers to enter and possess.

May its morning stars grow dark; may it wait in vain for daylight; may it not see the breaking of dawn.

He commands the sun not to shine; He seals off the stars.

Is not God as high as the heavens? Look at the highest stars, how lofty they are!

If even the moon does not shine, and the stars are not pure in His sight,

…while the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

When I behold Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place—

By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and all the stars by the breath of His mouth.

…the moon and stars to govern the night. His loving devotion endures forever.

He determines the number of the stars; He calls them each by name.

Praise Him, O sun and moon; praise Him, all you shining stars.

…before the light of the sun, moon, and stars is darkened, and the clouds return after the rain,

Who is this who shines like the dawn, as fair as the moon, as bright as the sun, as majestic as the stars in procession?

For the stars of heaven and their constellations will not give their light. The rising sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light.

You said in your heart: “I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God. I will sit on the mount of assembly, in the far reaches of the north.

All the stars of heaven will be dissolved. The skies will be rolled up like a scroll, and all their stars will fall like withered leaves from the vine, like foliage from the fig tree.

All the stars of heaven will be dissolved. The skies will be rolled up like a scroll, and all their stars will fall like withered leaves from the vine, like foliage from the fig tree.

You are wearied by your many counselors; let them come forward now and save you—your astrologers who observe the stars, who monthly predict your fate.

Thus says the LORD, who gives the sun for light by day, who sets in order the moon and stars for light by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—the LORD of Hosts is His name:

When I extinguish you, I will cover the heavens and darken their stars. I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon will not give its light.

It grew as high as the host of heaven, and it cast down some of the host and some of the stars to the earth and trampled them.

Then the wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever and ever.

Before them the earth quakes; the heavens tremble. The sun and moon grow dark, and the stars lose their brightness.

The sun and moon will grow dark, and the stars will no longer shine.

Though you soar like the eagle and make your nest among the stars, even from there I will bring you down,” declares the LORD.

You have multiplied your merchants more than the stars of the sky. The young locust strips the land and flies away.

Immediately after the tribulation of those days: ‘The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.’

…the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.’

There will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among the nations, bewildered by the roaring of the sea and the surging of the waves.

When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the great storm continued to batter us, we abandoned all hope of being saved.

The sun has one degree of splendor, the moon another, and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.

And so from one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore.

They are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame; wandering stars, for whom blackest darkness has been reserved forever.

He held in His right hand seven stars, and a sharp double-edged sword came from His mouth. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest.

This is the mystery of the seven stars you saw in My right hand and of the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.

This is the mystery of the seven stars you saw in My right hand and of the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.

“To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: These are the words of Him who holds the seven stars in His right hand and walks among the seven golden lampstands.

“To the angel of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of the One who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation for being alive, yet you are dead.

…and the stars of the sky fell to the earth like unripe figs dropping from a tree shaken by a great wind.

Then the fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun and moon and stars were struck. A third of the stars were darkened, a third of the day was without light, and a third of the night as well.

Then the fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun and moon and stars were struck. A third of the stars were darkened, a third of the day was without light, and a third of the night as well.

And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed in the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head.

His tail swept a third of the stars from the sky, hurling them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, ready to devour her child as soon as she gave birth.
