Stars, Angels, Thrones, Dominions and Spiritual Wickedness in Heavenly Places

Some years back I was looking at photos of Nebulas at the Adler Planetarium site. I was startled by one whose name I can't remember when I thought I saw a being sitting on a throne clearly outlined in the photo. I pointed it out to a friend, and sent to her. But later on had a computer crash and lost the photo, and by then Adler changed their site and couldn't find it again.
Now we know that God wrote the plan of salvation in the stars, called the Mazzaroth. And we know that we are seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus. We also know that sometimes in the Word of God, the Lord refers to angels as STARS. Sometimes they appear as orbs of light, bright light. Demons also can appear as an angel of light. It says Satan himself does this. I once saw a demon many years ago, who scared me awake in the morning pounding on my bed. I watched as he was running out of the room - well I don't know about how he was moving, not like our running. But as he was exiting...he was surrounded in light, but was obviously evil, and had hunched back and talons, with which he scratched my knee slightly & long grey bushy hair.
Paul Cox's article on DIMENSIONS kind of stirred this up in me. What we see is one area of dimensions, but Second heaven is a whole other dimension where we see Satan and his demons. When we see in the spirit, we are seeing into another dimension. Third heaven is when we see Jesus, Holy Spirit, angels, and the throne of God, heavenly places...and is another dimension of the heavenlies. I felt God stirring me to look at some more photos of nebulas, and also looked up meanings in these couple verses.
Colossians 1:16-18 NKJV For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.
Ephesians 6:12-13 NKJV For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Luke 2:13-14 NKJV And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: 14 "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men!"
Principality
NT:746 arche (ar-khay'); from NT:756; (properly abstract) a commencement, or (concretely) chief (in various applications of order, time, place, or rank): KJV - beginning, corner, (at the, the) first (estate), magistrate, power, principality, principle, rule.
NT:756 archomai (ar'-khom-ahee); middle voice of NT:757 (through the implication of precedence); to commence (in order of time): KJV - (rehearse from the) begin (-ning).
NT:757 a&rxw archo (ar'-kho); a primary verb; to be first
(in political rank or power): KJV - reign (rule) over.
Thrones
NT:2362 thronos (thron'-os); from thrao (to sit); a stately seat ("throne"); by implication, power or (concretely) a potentate: KJV - seat, throne.
Dominions
NT:2963 kuriotes (koo-ree-ot'-ace); from NT:2962; mastery, i.e. (concretely and collectively) rulers: KJV - dominion, government.
Powers

Rulers of Darkness
Rulers: NT:2888 (kos-mok-fat'-ore); from NT:2889 and NT:2902; a world-ruler, an epithet of Satan: KJV - ruler.
Spiritual Wickedness – wickedness = poneria
NT:4189 poneria (pon-ay-ree'-ah); from NT:4190; depravity, i.e. (specifically) malice; plural (concretely) plots, sins: KJV - iniquity, wickedness.
NT:4190 poneros (pon-ay-ros'); from a derivative of NT:4192; hurtful, i.e. evil (properly, in effect or influence, and thus differing from NT:2556, which refers rather to essential character, as well as from NT:4550, which indicates degeneracy from original virtue); figuratively, calamitous; also (passively) ill, i.e. diseased; but especially (morally) culpable, i.e. derelict, vicious, facinorous; neuter (singular) mischief, malice, or (plural) guilt; masculine (singular) the devil, or (plural) sinners: KJV - bad, evil, grievous, harm, lewd, malicious, wicked (-ness). See also NT:4191.

Go to above and you can do close up better
If stars can die, perhaps God is ever creating new ones in the heavenlies. But maybe it is something that was already sent in motion from the beginning. So that it goes on and on...
Hubble has given us a glimpse into eternity and I think it can help us to appreciate our place in CHRIST. If we are seated with HIM, then we have nothing to fear. He is WITH US, IN US, and surrounds us with songs of deliverance. His creation is beautiful and incomprehensible beauty. WE WRESTLE NOT WITH FLESH AND BLOOD, but these principalities and powers of darkness.
WE MUST get perspective that men are not our enemy, it is SATAN and his minions who are the real enemy. When people reject or abuse us, it is not them, it is what CONTROLS them. GOD through the blood of Jesus has given us AUTHORITY over serpents and scorpions, and HE doesn't mean those animals, though we have dominion over them also, but there is one nebula called the serpentine nebula.
There are beings that inhabit the heavens and even in the dimensions we can see that try to control us. We can dismiss the TRUTH, or believe it.

Hopelessly In Love With You

from Ruach Elohim…
Every minute of the day, I am interceding for you.
Every hour of the day My thoughts turn towards you.
Every time even a sparrow falls to the ground, I know it and feel it.
How much more than a sparrow are you worth to Me ?
There is NOTHING that escapes My eyes My beloveds.
There is nothing you feel, that I don’t feel !
Yes, I said, I feel your pain. I feel your disappointments. I feel your
loneliness. We are intimately connected through your spirit man.
My Spirit lives in YOU. So I feel what YOU FEEL !
That deposit gives you the ability to come in touch with MY POWER,
when you feel left out, or left behind, or hurt, or abused and rejected.
I know every tear you cry and they are collected in a bottle.
Imagine for a moment that you are ME, and you fell all that !
Imagine how My heart aches knowing the daily things you must bear
for My sake ? Nothing escapes My view. I AM El Rohi – the God Who Sees.
I saw and heard Hagar’s cries in the desert when she ran away.
I felt her loneliness and rejection…and I went to her to comfort and give her instructions and HOPE. I want you to be My prisoners of hope. I AM YOUR HOPE. So when you stop in that pain, and focus on ME, then you can be comforted by Me.
In that moment of anguish and pain, I AM YOUR HOPE. I AM YOUR COMFORTER. I AM El Rachum – The Compassionate One. I send the Comforter to all who weep and all who are in distress, when they belong to ME, or when they cry out to Me.
When David was in distress, he learned to cry out to ME, and I gave him strength through his praises to overcome the bear, the lion, the giant in the land. I will do the same for you. I am not partial. I don’t only do it for some. I answer the desperate pleas of the faithful.
Daniel cried out, but it took time for the archangel to get through to him, with all the battle over his area. But then he was blessed beyond his imagination. I am about to bring much comfort to My prisoners of hope, who have held on and held on through the trials and tests for the hope they have had for promises I’ve given them.
I am not a man that I should lie, nor a son of man that I should change My mind. There are some, as I’ve said, who have been deceived by their own hearts which have not been fully healed. There have been some things they thought would happen which have NOT happened, partly because it was their
desire, but not the best I have for them. I am a Father Who wants to give the BEST for His children. I look for that special gift like you do for someone’s birthday to bless them with. I give gifts just because I love you, not because of your performance or the things you do.
I do reward diligent seeking. I do reward prayerfulness and communion. I do reward obedience. Some rewards come now, some come later, some come in eternity. But I see ahead all that is before you. I always do what is best for your CHARACTER development. Because if I gave you the gifts BEFORE your character was ready for them, you would be ruined by the gift. Just like when you indulge children too much, and they become spoiled and ungrateful. So I develop character through the things you go through, so that when you do get what I have for you, you will be faithful, and grateful.
I AM Wisdom. I AM understanding. So when you need these, you can call on Me, and I will give to you what you need to know….what is good for you.
Some things need to be surprises. But soon, there will be such a communion, that so many things you thought you may never receive, will come to you in a moment. And your vision and perceptions of things will change. Your heart will be connected MORE fully to My heart as I come and destroy every stronghold that hinders you. I love you and cherish you as something sought after with great diligence and tenderness. YOU ARE MY OWN, MY LOVED ONES. I never will let you go or be unavailable. I am always here for you.
I always listen. I am ever seeking after you. So come, and learn more of ME, for I am in love with you My beloveds and I will increase that grace which helps you seek after ME, if you will ask for it ! I am ready to give you good things. So anticipate good things. Anticipate greater intimacy with ME, as you come in worship to ME ! The Bridegroom is knocking…unlatch the key of your hearts…”
