June 21 2015 is the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year. The day with the most sunlight. In Maryville, TN we will have14h 35m 7s of sunlight. Solar noon occurrs at 1:37pm.

Last night a friend texted me a photo of a configuration of Venus, Jupiter and the Moon. With another friend we chatted about what this sign or symbolism might mean. Here are some thoughts.

Noon at the Summer Solstice is a symbol of the "Perfect Day". (D&C 50:24, Proverbs 4:18-19)

Part of an ancient Hermetic symbol: As above, so below. This symbol is also in the Star of David and in the Urim and Thummim as described by Lucy Mack Smith.

It is pointing straight up.

It also points to the head and mouth (words) of the constellation Leo, the Lion. (Lion tribe of Judah)

"But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked." (Isaiah 11:4)

"He quoted also the third chapter of Acts, twenty-second and twenty-third verses, precisely as they stand in our New Testament. He said that that prophet was Christ; but the day had not yet come when “they who would not hear his voice should be cut off from among the people,” but soon would come." (JSH 1:40)

It is safe to say that if the heavens testify of something, they are giving us warnings to repent. We have not attained unto the ressurection of the dead, and it will many eternities hence until we do, so there is no safety in allowing our pride to overcome us with signs of our greatness.

The Moon is a waxing crescent. Our light grows towards a fulness as we listen to the voice of Christ.

From here days are getting shorter, time is running out.

Three of the brightest stars in Leo also form a very close match of the formation of Moon, Jupiter and Venus. The Lion of the tribe of Judah is coming in judgement.

"And I say unto you, that if the Gentiles do not repent after the blessing which they shall receive, after they have scattered my people—Then shall ye, who are a remnant of the house of Jacob, go forth among them; and ye shall be in the midst of them who shall be many; and ye shall be among them as a lion among the beasts of the forest, and as a young lion among the flocks of sheep, who, if he goeth through both treadeth down and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver." (3 Nephi 20:15-16)

In the opposite part of the sky is Scorpio. As the sign of warning descends, and the days shorten the dragon takes power.

A day, in the scriptural record begins with the evening and lasts into the day. This sign appeared the day before the solstice according to the Julian calendar, but the day of according to the scriptural.

The men who are supposed to be of God are saying "If there is a sign, believe it not. It is not a sign of God's judgement. Look elsewhere. Look to me." Yet the heavens have been testifying in a rather obvious manner.
