STARS may be taken to represent believers. In the following passages of Holy Writ a resemblance will be found between the two.

  1. Made. “He made the stars also” (Gen. 1:16). “Created in Christ Jesus” (Eph. 2:10).
  2. Sealed. “Sealeth up the stars” (Job 9:7). “Sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise” (Eph. 1:13).
  3. Exalted. “Behold the height of the stars” (Job 22:12). “Made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus” (Eph. 2:6).
  4. Not pure. “The stars are not pure in His sight” (Job 25:5). “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves” (1 John 1:8).
  5. Ordained. “The stars, which Thou hast ordained” (Ps. 8:3). “I have chosen you, and ordained you,” &c. (John 15:16).
  6. To rule. “The stars to rule by night” (Psalm 136:9). “He that overcometh…will I give power over the nations, and he shall rule them with a rod of iron” (Rev. 2:26-27).
  7. Numbered. “He telleth the number of the stars” (Ps. 147:4). “The Lord knoweth them that are His” (2 Tim. 2:19).
  8. Called. “He calleth them all by their names” (Ps. 147:4). “He calleth His own sheep by name” (John 10:3).
  9. Praising. “Praise Him, all ye stars of light” (Ps. 148:3). “To the praise of the glory of His grace” (Eph. 1:6).
  10. Light-givers. “The stars for a light by night” (Jer. 31:35). “Ye are the light of the world” (Matt. 5:14).
  11. Differing. “One star differeth from another star in glory” (1 Corinthians 15:41). “Diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit” (1 Corinthians 12:4).
  12. Held. “He had in His right hand seven stars” (Rev. 1:16). “My sheep….shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand” (John 10:27-28).
