The highlighted words reveal that Frances Rolleston understood that the Planisphere at Dendera was
from the time of the Caesars, not thousands of years earlier. It is very easy to err when one tries to pin

about what people know 5,000-6,000 years ago?

I share this information as a prelude to speaking about the message contained in the heavens. I want
the reader to understand that although there is much evidence and good arguments to put forth in
support of Yahweh using the heavens as a mode of communication of prophecy, there is also a need
to exercise some restraint. Specific details cannot always be set forth with great confidence. There
must be room left for debate and further exploration of this subject. We should also manifest patience
with those who hold to other views. Our hope is that Yahweh might restore the knowledge of that
which has been obscured by the passage of millennia and the corruptions of men and angels.
