Though I cannot seem to get on the MJ Agee train to Saturn, here is a
pretty interesting verse that I had never seen before that involves
the Heavens.

Moses is reviewing Israel's encounter with God, and warning them about
their future ...

Deuteronomy 4:19
"And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the
sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven,
shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD
thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven."

It's the last part of the verse I call your attention to. God clearly
states that the -

"sun, moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven ....which the
LORD thy God hath divided into all the nations under the whole
heaven."

The Bible is full of verses I have never read before and this is one of them.

The word "divided" is Strong's 2505h Chalaq

"chalaq {khaw-lak'} a primitive root; TWOT - 669; v AV - divide 40,
flatter 6, part 5, distribute 4, dealt 2, smoother 2, given 1,
imparted 1, partner 1, portion 1, received 1, separate 1; 65 1) to

divide, assign, distribute, share, apportion, impart, plunder

Maybe you're wondering like me, how is this possible?

It only seems possible to me in an Age to come, when the "government"
of the Lord Jesus expands to fill the heavens, and as with Nehemiah,
the Lord sends out His governors to build or rebuild.

Isaiah 9:7
"Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end,
upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to
establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for
ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this."

Jesus is Lord.
