The earth and other planets travel around the sun. Without the heat and light of the sun, there could be no life on earth. Plants use sunlight from the sun to make food which people and animals eat. The sun is 150 million miles away, but the temperature of any place on earth depends on the position of the sun in the sky. The length of a day depends on the time the sun takes to return to a particular place in the sky as the sun rotates.
The moon travels around the earth. The words month and Monday originate from the old English word for moon. The moon gives no light of its own, it shines by reflecting sunlight. Since ancient times, people have measured time by the phases of the moon.
The moon controls the level of rivers, This is why witchcraft is more complicated than we think. It has to do with the heavens, the sun, the moon and the stars.
These elemental powers are united, although they act and look contradictory.
The sun and the moon are forces over which we physically have no control. The sun is so important that the Lord is called sun and a shield’.
Spiritually, the sun represents open assault of the enemy which are visible and scorching like the beams of the sun and physical open attacks. The moon represents secret treacherous and seemingly harmless assaults by the enemy and invisible mental attacks.
The moon derives its power from the sun. The effect of the sun is always prominent, because of the brightness and the heat. While that of the moon looks harmless and even desirable, thereby representing two classes of enemies:
- Open and prominent enemies,
- Open and harmless-looking enemies.
The sun and the moon can also be said to represent known and unknown evil.
In my next write-up, I will be discussing how the powers of darkness succeed in making use of evil demonic forces to attack men and women by day and by night.
Shalom!
