Word of Truth Fellowship

Welcome to the ninth biblical month!

As the sun rose on November 22, 2025, it stood in the ancient constellation of Scorpio (Scorpius) — the Scorpion. In Egyptian star-lore this same constellation was sometimes seen as a giant serpent, and its brightest decan (side-piece) is Ophiuchus, the Serpent-Holder or Serpent-Handler. The heavens are already whispering a story.

A few nights ago we had the dark “new moon” — invisible to the eye, but perfect for stargazing. The sky was washed clean, and the constellations stood out in all their glory. The moon is called a “faithful witness in the sky” (Psalm 89:37), and right now it is testifying loudly.

The Stinger That Lost Its Sting

Look at the very tip of Scorpio’s tail — the place where the deadly stinger curves upward. That is exactly where modern telescopes have discovered the Butterfly Nebula (sometimes called the Bug Nebula). Discovered in 1826, it glows like a delicate, winged creature emerging from a cocoon.

Think about that for a moment.

At the spot designed for poison and death, the Father placed a butterfly — the universal picture of resurrection and transformation.

“O Death, where is your sting?” (1 Cor 15:55)
Right there in the heavens, the stinger has already become wings.

The Same Butterfly Appears Three Times

The Father didn’t stop with one picture. He repeated it:

1. In Scorpio’s tail — the place of the curse becomes the place of new life.
2. In the belly of Ophiuchus, the Serpent-Handler — the conqueror of the dragon carries new-creation life inside him.
3. In the heart of the Northern Cross (inside Cygnus the Swan) — another butterfly nebula glows right on the cross that looked like defeat but birthed resurrection.

Three times the message is shouted silently across the sky: death is swallowed up by life.

Scorpions = Rebellion in Scripture

Scripture repeatedly connects scorpions with rebellion and stubbornness:

• Deuteronomy 8:15 — Because of Israel’s unbelief they were forced to wander in a wilderness “with its fiery serpents and scorpions.”
• Ezekiel 2:6 — God tells the prophet not to fear the people, “though briars and thorns are with you and you sit on scorpions” — a perfect description of a rebellious house.
• 1 Kings 12:11,14 — Rehoboam threatens to discipline the people “with scorpions” after they rebel against the house of David.
• Jeroboam’s counterfeit feast in the eighth biblical month (1 Kings 12:32-33) fell under the sign of Scorpio — pure rebellion against God’s appointed times.

Even today, many in America celebrate a late-November “thanksgiving” that was deliberately moved away from the biblical seventh-month Feast of Tabernacles. Coincidence? The heavens themselves mark the difference.

The Promise Written in the Stars

Daniel 12:3 declares:
“And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky above,
and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.”

This is not astrology or fortune-telling. This is the Creator using His own creation as a billboard that needs no translation — a message that speaks in every language, to every generation.

The Authority We’ve Been Given

Yeshua Himself tied it all together in Luke 10:19-20:
“Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions,
and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.
Nevertheless, do not rejoice that the spirits are subject to you,
but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

Don’t celebrate the power to crush scorpions.
Celebrate that you are no longer the scorpion.

A Personal Invitation This Month

This ninth month, the heavens are asking every one of us a question:

Will you stay a scorpion — rebellious, stinging, cursed?
Or will you let the sting become wings and be transformed into something beautiful?

Look up tonight. Open stellarium.web (it’s free, no download needed), search “Butterfly Nebula,” “Ophiuchus,” or “Northern Cross,” and see the gospel written in light that has never dimmed.

May this ninth month be one of transformation for you.
May the stinger lose its poison in your life.
May you emerge with wings.

And may you shine like the stars forever and ever (Daniel 12:3).

Blessings in the name of the One who turned the curse into resurrection life, Yehovah and His son Yeshua
