THE STARS TELL THE STORY TOO An Interpretation Of The Bible Prophecies As They Are Illustrated By The Constellations And Depicted In Stone By The Great Pyramid Of Gizeh BY LOUISE KREISCHER NINETEEN ILLUSTRATIONS MARANATHA PUBLISHERS 156 FIFTH AVENUE NEW YORK, N. Y. THE STARS TELL THE STORY TOO INTRODUCTION The brilliant stars lighting up the encircling heavens, with such quiet modesty, and with such wonderful glory were an inspiration to investigate the significance of the constellations. They seem to illustrate so vividly the stories and prophecies related in the Bible, and these illustra tions and these prophecies correspond so accu rately with the historic accounts and prophetic forecasts outlined in stone in the Pyramid at Gizeh, that it seems very clear to me, that they all carry the same message. The Shepherd Kings, who brought monotheism into Egypt, and who built the Pyramid, were evi dently impelled to depict in stone the wonderful vision which came to the ancient Hebrews with the spiritual illumination of their receptive thought. This same vision is beautifully related in the Scriptures, and it is also clearly and accurately il lustrated by the constellations as the stars tell the story too. vn INTRODUCTION I wish to express my gratitude to Dr. Clyde Fisher, Honorary Curator of the Hayden Plan etarium in New York City, and former Editor of the SKY the monthly publication of the Plan etarium, and to Mr. Charles A. Federer, Jr., the present Editor, for their kindness in allowing me to copy illustrations of the constellations from their star maps and charts some bearing dates of the seventeenth century and also to Professor E. Walter Maunder, F. R. A. S., Professor G. V.Schiaparelli, and to Dr. Robert H. Baker for much information given in their writings but my in spiration came entirely from the Holy Bible and from the radiant brightness of the stars. LOUISE KJRJEISCHER.
