STELLAR ANNUNCIATION

Stellar Annunciation * Cosmic Legacy

A brilliant burst of light announces the birth of a cosmic phenomenon deep within the womb of a spiral quasar galaxy, creating bi-polar beams, illuminating the shores of space like a celestial light house. A colossal Earth-like planet and its lunar siblings (in a stellar system within a companion satellite galaxy) are bathed in celestial light. Sentient life-forms on planets in both galaxies would assuredly associate such cosmic events with myth, lore, legend and prophecy. Ancient civilizations on planet Earth frequently attributed celestial phenomena with positive and negative interpretations of social, political and religious events. One particularly unique celestial event, The Star of Bethlehem, announced the birth of the prophesied Messiah, Jesus Christ. Magi or Wise Men (ancient scholars-priests-astrologers-astronomers) from "the east" associated the Old Testament Messianic prophecy, that a "Star" would come out of the tribe of Judah (Numbers 24:17), with this uniquely significant celestial phenomenon, the now Legendary Star of Bethlehem, and followed it to present royal gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh in adoration and worship of The New Born King of Kings, Jesus Christ. The Bible Gospels relate the birth, life, sacrificial death and the Victorious Resurrection of Jesus Christ who Saved, not only His People (The Jews) from their sins, but equally Saved His World and His entire Universe! With such a "Stellar Annunciation," Jesus Christ is truly God's "Cosmic Legacy."

*The Annunciation was the archangel Gabriel's visit to the Virgin Mary to announce that she had been chosen to be the mother of Jesus Christ. (Luke 1:26-38)

*Numbers 24:17: I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob (Judah) and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth . . .

Stellar Annunciation
©2009 by Michael C. Turner

A star does shine with Light Divine
across the portals of space and time.
Dispersing the darkness, dispelling the night,
illuminating the Cosmos with Love and Light.
Prophecies of old at last unfold,
God's Word made Flesh as was foretold.
Stellar Annunciation, Heaven's Angel's sing
Praises to Christ, The New Born King.
Star Of Bethlehem in a manger beaming,
Holy Dayspring of Eternity gleaming.

May The True Star Of Bethlehem, Jesus Christ,
Illuminate You This Christmas And Eternally . . .

I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness,
but will have the Light of Life. (Jesus Christ) John 8:12
