Seven Heavenly Witnesses of the Coming of Jesus Christ

The heavens provide light and truth. Man cannot change them. God’s faithful witnesses in the sun, the moon, and the wandering stars were the lights He set in the heavens, they are His calendar and they have much to teach us. There special alignments - conjunctions of planets (increased light) and eclipses of the sun and the moon (diminished light) - marked by special “holy days” tied to our Savior’s birth and . They also mark His second coming and return. Rare events such as the -moons, eclipses and astronomical alignments have returned again today with ties to the covenant people. What do they mean? How are they tied to our Lord’s Atonement, calendar, and return? The Prophet Joseph Smith and the other early Church founders pursued Hebrew instruction. Joseph invited Rabbi Joshua Seixas to the school of the Prophets to instruct them on the finer points of Hebrew language, Holy days and Calendars. Most modern Latter-day Saints have never even considered a need to learn about astronomical signs of the times. Val Brinkerhoff has restored much of the learning and mysteries that were common knowledge to our Church founders. His research and insights are awakening within those people who have eyes to see and ears to hear the heavenly correlations, signs and wonders that the Lord established from the foundation of the world.
