I am a Christian, but in reading the Holy Bible I wonder what or if the solar system might some how in Revelation come.
I know 7, 3, 12, 10, 2 are used a lot in the book of Revelations, is 9
I was thinking , since they are out there and he lets us know about them, that they might come into the bible some where.
what do you think?
I know non believers aren't going to see God in this.
I know a lot of Christians are going to see the Planet it.
And I yet to find it either, but has anyone ever thought this?

Job.38:30 The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen. 38:31 Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? 38:32 Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons? 38:33 Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion there of in the earth? 38:34 Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee? 38:35 Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go and say unto thee, Here we are?

The people who wrote that nonsense thought that the sky was a solid object (the firmament) that separated earth from Heaven... in other words, heaven is on the 'other side' of the sky.
They thought that the stars were tiny lights that god had affixed to the firmament to provide for portents and omens. They thought that the eyeball-visible planets (Mercury, Venus Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn) were 'wandering stars'.
This whacky and distorted view of the solar system and the universe has absolutely no bearing at all on anything... except, perhaps, to illustrate that god is a real dumbass, since (from the descriptions in the 'inerrant' bible) he clearly had NO CONCEPT of the reality and the configuration of the universe that he 'created'.

The Bible ( Word of God ) is given to us to change and control our lives.. not to find codes about the universe... But good work...
Try to think and study more practical subjects in the bible...
Hebrews 4:12 "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
