Orion Which Every One on the Globe Can See - 02/08/24 09:46 AM
Bates did a study on Orion concluding that every eye can see at the same time the second coming of Christ. Imagine being able to see into heaven! It is an interesting paper, I thought. It can be found at the Ellen White writings site under Pioneer writings. I am astounded at the study, dedication, and intelligence of the founders of our church compared to us of today!
Early Writings page 41
Dark, heavy clouds came up and clashed against each other. The atmosphere parted and rolled back; then we could look up through the open space in Orion, whence came the voice of God.
The Holy City will come down through that open space. I saw that the powers of earth are now being shaken and that events come in order. War, and rumors of war, sword, famine, and pestilence are first to shake the powers of earth, then the voice of God will shake the sun, moon, and stars, and this earth also. I saw that the shaking of the powers in Europe is not, as some teach, the shaking of the powers of heaven, but it is the shaking of the angry nations.

in which there seems to be a perpetual uninterrupted day among numberless worlds, which no human art can ever discover. - Furgerson's Treatise on Astronomy, edition A. D. 1770.
{1846 JB, BP1 7.1}
Out of ninety-three, Orion is the most striking and splendid constellation in the Heavens; her centre is mid way between the poles of heaven and directly over the equator of the Earth, and is visible from all the habitable parts of the Globe.

Thus we see from all the testimony adduced, (and we could give much more were it necessary) that here is a most wonderful and inexplainable phenomena in the heavens: a gap in the sky, more than 11,314,000,000 miles in circumference. Says the celebrated HUYGENS, ?I never saw anything like it among the rest of the fixed stars - a free view into another region more enlightened.? I have had the pleasure (with others) during the past month, to see this wonder in the Heavens a number of evenings, through J. Delano, Jr?s. excellent Telescope.
