Don’t Miss This Once-a-Year Heavenly Display with a Surprising Twist
In the first episode of his series Heavenly Happenings, Pastor Troy Brewer invites believers to “keep looking up” and witness the wonders of God’s creation.
Brewer says observing celestial events is about “praising the Creator for His glory and majesty,” not worshipping the stars. He is careful to distance his teachings from astrological interpretations, focusing instead on the brilliance of God’s creation and its prophetic significance in Scripture.
Highlighting Feb. 19, as one of his “top five heavenly happenings” of the year, Brewer points to the rare brilliance of Venus on this date.
“Right after the sun goes down, look up and you’ll go, ‘What is that? It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Superman, it’s a UFO, it’s got to be some kind of drone.’ No, it’s actually Venus.” He describes the planet as being “brighter than any other time the entire year.”

But Brewer’s focus isn’t merely on the celestial spectacle. “Venus is prophetic,” he says, drawing connections between the planet and Scripture. Referencing Revelation 22:16, Brewer reminds viewers, “Jesus says, ‘I am the son of David,’ which blows my mind that Jesus—we’re talking about God—calls Himself the son of David. That’s how much he loves David, which is really cool. But then He also says this: ‘I am the bright and Morning Star.'” Brewer underscores that “the morning and evening star is actually Venus,” pointing out the symbolic connection between the planet and Christ.
For Brewer, the placement of Venus in the constellation Capricorn adds another layer of spiritual meaning. “Out of all 12 of the 88 constellations that are in the heavens, and there’s 12 that the sun passes through, the weirdest out of all of them is the seagoat. Like, there’s no such thing as a seagoat. But there is such a thing as Jesus laying down His sacrificial body and then another body coming out of that body known as the body of Christ. Whoa, that’s exactly what happens.”
Brewer continues his message with an invitation for believers to see the heavens as a testament to God’s divine plan.
“On February the 19th, go outside as the sun is going down and look up and give Jesus glory because Venus is brighter than it’s ever going to be and it’s right there in Capricorn. And if you know what those things represent, you got a good reason to praise Him.”
According to Pastor Brewer, the heavens do more than declare God’s glory—they invite us into deeper reflection on His promises and presence, turning our gaze from the stars to the Creator Himself.
