Revelation 12:1 - A Great Sign!

The moon was in Virgo's birth canal. Coma Bernice has 12 stars which was above Virgo's head. Happened 18 years ago.
Will similar happen 18 years from now? Those with constellation software, please investigate.

Christians should not waste their time and energy on the signs in the heavens. Those concern only the heathen. Our job is to focus on the Gospel and the salvation of souls.

Unless I misunderstand the following Scripture, God seems not to agree with you.

Ge 1:14
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
KJV

God never contradicts Himself. So if astrology is condemned in Scripture (which it is) then the meaning of signs in this verse cannot mean for the practice of astrology, or prognostications based on the Zodiac, or the alignment of heavenly bodies. However, we know from the Old Covenant that new moons -- for example -- were "signs" for Hebrew feasts and festivals. In fact the Hebrew word for month means "new moon". The star of Bethlehem was another Divine sign. They could also be signs for changes of weather. So once again -- it is for the heathen to look at the signs in the heavens and be dismayed.

i think not.

The bible was written to believers. To his people.

The signs in the heavens are sign posts,birthpangs. They are signs to us his people to let us be prepared for what is next.

I agree; but this Scripture makes the alignment of Virgo with Coma Bernice, and the moon especially relevant:

Rv 12:1
12 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
KJV

The problem with astrology is it attempts to offer revelation independent of God.

In the book of Job several constellations were mentioned by name. That is not in itself Astrology.

Not "believers". Just Hebrews, Israelites, Jews. And most of them were condemned for unbelief and their rebellion. Furthermore the Lord told the unbelieving Jews of His day that they always looked for a sign in their unbelief, but the only sign that would be given would be the sign of the prophet Jonah (His resurrection). For believers today, there will be no announcement of the Resurrection/Rapture of the saints. It is always imminent, and it will be sudden, unexpected, and unannounced. The "sign" (if you will) is the apostasy that has corrupted Christendom and continues to do so.

True. And we should distinguish between astronomy and astrology. It is actually quite amazing that astronomy was already in existence at the time of Job. But then, the civilizations around the world were quite advanced around that time also and astronomy may have begun around 3,500 BC.

Bullinger wrote Witness of the Stars. He wrote how the zodiac was how God explained the gospel to Adam. The zodiac was then perverted by other cultures for their religions.

Yes and No? Yes, for His church to be watching for his return for the Church (Rapture)

No, Not only for the Church but also for the unbelievers. Jesus tells us that: for when you see these things, (signs, earthquakes, etc), you know the end is near. The generation (unbelievers) who SEES these Signs will see the 2nd advent of the Lord.

The Blood moons were signs, the eclipses are signs, the increase number of earthquakes are signs, and now this in the heavens that relates to the Virgo Constellation. The man child that is being born is not Jesus but rather the "Body of Christ",,Look to the Hebrew word and it is a Neutered Noun pronouncing a body not a singular or plural noun pronouncing a person.

If this is correct, the sign says the Rapture is close at hand. WHat Christians have been saying all along. Only difference is , this was shown to you by GOD himself.

And yes by stellar calculations (there are many of them out there) while the moon, sun, jupiter are in the correct (as stated in Rev 12) positions with some regularity, they plus; mercury, mars, venus and the stars of Leo all being in the correct positions at the same time on a Feast Day (Sept 23,2017) mean something...Rem, this has not happened for 6-7,000 years according to Nasa's star charts.

Again I Urge as my signature states, the reader to use Acts 17:11 and do not believe a thing I say. Come to your own conclusions.
