*Note: Colosians 1:16, 17 tells us that Jesus created all things and by Him all things consist. Jesus is the one who keeps the earth in orbit around the sun. Scientists claim gravity keeps the earth in orbit around the sun, but where did gravity come from and how did the earth get to a perfect distance from the sun? If the orbit of the earth changed, the earth could either freeze or become too hot killing everyone on the planet. The earth's orbit determines seasons and years, while the earth spins on it's axis causing day and night. When you study Joel, Matthew and Revelation, you see that God uses the 3 lights as signs to forewarn of coming events.
