What are your thoughts on this "mystery roar" from outer space; voice of the Lion of the tribe of Judah?
Revelation 5:1-5 1) "And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals." 2) "And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?" 3) "And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon." 4) And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon." 5) And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof." Wed Jan 7, 10:31 pm ET LONG BEACH, Calif. -- Space is typically thought of as a very quiet place. But one team of astronomers has found a strange cosmic noise that booms six times louder than expected. The roar is from the distant cosmos. Nobody knows what causes it. Of course, sound waves can't travel in a vacuum (which is what most of space is), or at least they can't very efficiently. But radio waves can. Radio waves are not sound waves, but they are still electromagnetic waves, situated on the low-frequency end of the light spectrum. Many objects in the universe, including stars and quasars, emit radio waves. Even our home galaxy, the Milky Way, emits a static hiss (first detected in 1931 by physicist Karl Jansky). Other galaxies also send out a background radio hiss. But the newly detected signal, described here today at the 213th meeting of the American Astronomical Society, is far louder than astronomers expected. There is "something new and interesting going on in the universe," said Alan Kogut of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. A team led by Kogut detected the signal with a balloon-borne instrument named ARCADE (Absolute Radiometer for Cosmology, Astrophysics, and Diffuse Emission). In July 2006, the instrument was launched from NASA's Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility in Palestine, Texas, and reached an altitude of about 120,000 feet (36,500 meters), where the atmosphere thins into the vacuum of space. ARCADE's mission was to search the sky for faint signs of heat from the first generation of stars, but instead they heard a roar from the distant reaches of the universe. "The universe really threw us a curve," Kogut said. "Instead of the faint signal we hoped to find, here was this booming noise six times louder than anyone had predicted." Detailed analysis of the signal ruled out primordial stars or any known radio sources, including gas in the outermost halo of our own galaxy. Other radio galaxies also can't account for the noise รข€“ there just aren't enough of them. "You'd have to pack them into the universe like sardines," said study team member Dale Fixsen of the University of Maryland. "There wouldn't be any space left between one galaxy and the next." The signal is measured to be six times brighter than the combined emission of all known radio sources in the universe. For now, the origin of the signal remains a mystery. "We really don't know what it is,"said team member Michael Seiffert of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. http://news.yahoo.com/s/space/mysteryroarfromfarawayspacedetected

There are no lions in space.

Theists always twist God around science. But eventually, people realize that God has nothing to do with it, and accept science as truth.

Yep. Giant space lions are real.
8 :
It's not a sound, it's a radio signal. It was the reporters who decided that "roar" would be a nice word to use.
9 :
They don't know what it is, didn't predict it, so they classify it as an "anomaly" and move on. There are many such anomalies that get filed away that don't fit into the standard model in astronomy. There is no better theory of everything than the Electric Universe theory. Also that very first part of Revelations is almost setting people up for failure, since if anyone comes forward thinking they are worthy then they are guilty of pride.

Reading Revelations with a critical mind will lead to only one logical conclusion: The man/men who wrote the scriptures must have been in the abyss of religious superstition and delusion. Lions and their roar in space? Only the delusional can hear them.
17 :
The " Lion of Judah" is Jesus. the angel who states..."Who is worthy? is another senior, un-named angel. The " root of David" means Jesus is descended ftom King David,, through Mary.
18 :
dont use the unknown as an avenue to fill int he blanks as you please. revelation propehcy is very specific and span over a couple thousand years. the lion of the tribe of judah is basically the king of the jews which can be translated as being jesus. so jesus is not emitting sound waves through space.
19 :
Did the Lion have radio equipment back then?
20 :
I don't believe it is the Lion of Judah. I believe the Lion of Judah would be at 7 times the amount. Representing the perfect number. Could it be the opening of the first of the seven seals?
21 :
It may or may not have something to do with what Revelations states, however, we know we are living in the last days and Jehovah God is preparing that place for the annointed ones, that heavenly class who have the seal of the Lamb on their foreheads. We also know that as the annointed class dies they are taken to heaven, so it may be the singing of angels, or the readying of Armageddon by Jesus who will carry out God's war against all wicked humans in the earth while locking away Satan and his demons into an abyss a "death-like state" for the 1,000 year reign. We can only speculate, but when Armageddon is here, just before it gets here, the luminaries will lose their light; so too will the sun and moon. The militaries of the world will band together as if they are going to "go up against it", but Jehovah will spite them for Jesus and his angels will be destroying all wicked humans, governments, military commanders, corrupt worldly rulers, and false religious leaders/teachers and those following these ungodly groups... but all of them including the militaries of the world will be anniahlated, then devoured by the birds of the midheavens and wild beasts in the earth until there is nothing left and their (birds and beasts) bellies are full. Yes, there may be the rumbling of God's heavenly kingdom in the heavens but we will just have to be on guard, never forgetting about that this day "God's war" could be upon us at anytime. We must always be ready and always be thinking about it--- always be on alert. Interesting post... we just don't know.
22 :
Interesting science but no it is not the roar of the Lion of Judah. The roar of the Lion of Judah strikes fear in the heart of ungodly men and speaks of the judgment on sin. It is that which can not be withstood by any enemy. Interested in science and the Bible, Check out the asteroid due to visit us in 2029, 2034,2035 It was a real threat scientifically. It is no surprise to the LORD. He warned me about it specifically a few years ago. It has been an issue of prayer.
23 :
Never mind the scoffers. The Bible is clear that in the last days, there will be many. I find your question and article provided to be quite interesting. Scientist are also predicting a great earthquake to hit California around 2020. At the same time a meteor to strike, and check out the info coming out of yellostone park. People better get ready and stop thinking that God is a joke. When their being coaxed into taking a mark on their right hand or forehead maybe they'll think that to be a scientific, technological breakthrough/benefit rather than their sealed eternal doom. Repent, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

In my book it is called "Para-mythology" and the length of your question proves that!

ROFL!! It's Mufasa from 'The Lion King', obviously.
26 :
Interesting but unbiblical and unsupported by any Bible version.
27 :
I don't know that I agree with the correlation to Revelations, in all honesty the one thought I had was 'how do they know it's coming from space and not from the earth?'
28 :
lol @zilla
29 :
Read Revelation Chapter 10 the angel described here in is none other than Jesus. Jesus is the archangel, Michael. 1 Thessalonians 4:16, the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a commandeing call, with an archangel's voice and with the trumpet of God.
30 :
no its not his roar
31 :
Hmm. That space thing sounds interesting; either they just messed up somewhere lol jk or they're discovering something new. But I really believe that has nothing to do with Revelation 5. Rev. 5 there is talking about Jesus (Revelation's all symbolic ya know lol Jesus is the Lion. He's also mentioned as a Lamb in the very next verse! lol there's some things like that in Rev where it says something, then in the next verse it almost sounds like the opposite but really it's the exact same thing lol) :] ok that was kinda long, but sorry!! i talk a lot ;D lol plus your question was long, so.......... ;) hehe
32 :
It's Leo.
33 :
you know we can hope but not say for sure if it was, great post though, i loved reading it. if the Lion roared right in some peoples faces, they still would have a hard time believing in Him i take that back, its Gods universe and this definely has some meaning if we are just finding now God bless
34 :
I'm surprised the evolution fans aren't jumpin in here with some of.. this proves our point ..da...da..da... and so forth like normal. Its interesting I think there's a lot fascinating thing things going on the world unexplained and not as covered by media because the "science pope's' haven't drawn the anti-god spin yet..

Thank you! That is very interesting!

1( What are your thoughts on this "mystery roar" from outer space Well, it's hardly the first "mysterious signal from outer space" that we have detected - not by a long shot. It will likely not be the last, either. The fact that it is 6 times larger than *expected* hardly makes it a "roar". Indeed, since we have not detected it previously, clearly it is quite a bit less than a "roar"..... It's simply the signal (yet another) from an unknown radio source. 2) voice of the Lion of the tribe of Judah? Well, as it is a radio signal, not a vocal one, it would appear to have nothing to do with the "Lion of Judah" - unless he is announcing his return by radio. Besides, the signal is not the sort that corresponds to speech. I hope that Jesus doesn't require all of us to be listening to the radio at the moment when he announces his return... Just another natural phenomenon that, like most, has been discovered before it has been explained. By year's end, there will likely be at least a half dozen theories to explain it.

the voice of ROAR was that of LORD NARSIMHADEVA,THIS VOICE WAS FIRST HEARD IN ANCIENT INDIA,HE APPEARED AS HALF MAN HALF LION INCARNATION OF MAHA VISNU,KRSNA WHO IS GOD,HE 'ROARS' WHENEVER A DEVOTEE OF VISNU ,GOD IS OFFENDED.IN ANCIENT INDIA ABOUT 3.5 MILLION YEARS AGO THERE WAS A DEMON NAMED HIRANYAKASIPU,THE KING OF DEMONS WHO RULED THE UNIVERSE.HE OFFENDED ALL THE DEMIGODS,SAINTLY PERSONS AND GREAT DEVOTEES.HE HAD ACHIEVED IMMORTALITY BENEDICTION FRM BRAHMA AND USED HIS POWERS RAMPANTLY SO ALL THE DEMIGODS PRAYED TO GOD,MAHA VISNU TO PROTECT HIS DEVOTEE PRAHLAD & TO GET BACK THEIR RESPECTIVE KINGDOMS.HIRANYAKASIPU WAS UNDEFEATED BY GREAT DEMIGODS & ASSUMED HIMSELF GOD,HE WAS EVIL TRIED TO CRUSH EVERY OTHER FORCE IN UNIVERSE OPPOSING HIM.HIS SON PRAHLAD ,HOWEVER CORRECTED HIM OF HIS ILLUSION THAT HE WAS GOD, HE WAS NOTHING IN FRONT OF GOD.THE DEMON MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO KILL PRHLAD BUT FAILED MISERABLY.HIRANYAKASIPU ASKED PRAHLAD WHERE IS VISNU I WANT TO DEFEATE & KILL HIM.PRAHLAD TOLD HIM THAT VISNU (GOD) IS EVERYWHERE,IN YOUR HEART,JUST PRAY TO HIM & U WILL SEE HIM.THE DEMON FURTHER ASKED WHETHER HE WAS IN THE PILLAR OF HIS PALACE TO RIDICULE.PRAHLAD REPLIED "OBVIOUSLY". IN A FIT OF RAGE DEMON BROKE THE PILLAR OF HIS PALACE WITH HIS STRONG HANDS AS A RESULT NARSIMHADEVA APPEARED WITH A "ROAR" FRM PILLAR AND KILLED HIM.

Perhaps this could be due to black holes or perhaps something a local Government is up to, but is classified from NASA. We really don't know... Speculation doesn't give us any conclusions as of yet, only possible leads. Could be as you seem to speculate, If God is giving us a signal, but again we must wait for real conclusiveness. If God is able to cloak spiritual vision of things & science cannot measure things on this realm... then He is also more than capable of cloaking sounds in the spiritual realm. Only time will tell.

Interesting news item, but I don't see the Lion of Judah connection. First, the radio signal is described as a static hiss, not a roar, though it is loud. Second, where in that Bible passage does it mention a roar from the Lion? It mentions an angel with a loud voice (not static). An unexplained cosmological observation need not be supernatural. The title "Lion of Judah" is of course symbolic - Jesus is not an actual lion. So the he would not make actual lion sounds. Satan is also described in the Bible as a "roaring lion" (1 Peter 5:8). Here are some Bible passages referring to the roar of the Lion of Judah, but they mostly refer to Him roaring from Zion, not outer space. One refers to Him roaring from "on high", which could be outer space - or Mt Zion. In any case, it is symbolism - probably not an actual roaring sound. "The Lord will roar from on high, and utter His voice from His holy habitation..." (Jeremiah 25:30) "The Lord roars from Zion, and utters His voice from Jerusalem..." (Amos 1:2) "They shall walk after the Lord. He will roar like a lion. When He roars, then His sons shall come trembling from the west; they shall come trembling like a bird from Egypt, like a dove from the land of Assyria." (Hosea 11:10) "The Lord also will roar from Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem; the heavens and earth will shake; but the Lord will be a shelter for His people, and the strength of the children of Israel." (Joel 3:16) http://www.wingsofworship.org/roaring_lion_of_judah.htm Do you think this is to do with "end times" Bible prophecy? If so, here is something you should read: http://reformed-theology.org/html/books/rapture/index.html

Fascinating. "Because the radio waves come from far away, traveling at the speed of light, they therefore represent an earlier time in the universe..." Maybe it's the sound of God -- speaking Creation into existence. Gen 1:3 -- And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

Is it coming from Leo or Leo Minor?

God is angry that the sheeple are worshiping Obama instead of Him.
43 :
Interesting indeed. Yesterday there was something on Fox about a "cosmic storm" that could do heavy damage to our planet. Global warming and all that money making propaganda matters not, since it cannot control the beginning or the end of our world. That roar from outer space may very well be the lion of judah.
44 :
The Bible tells us that the Universe is continually expanding. I have also read and heard that when scientists listen to the Universe with sensitive listening devices they can hear a humming sound, as if the Universe is singing. Good question, my friend.
45 :
Of course! A cosmic phenomenon is Jesus having a shouting match across space. And planets aren't revolving around the sun balanced by momentum, centrifugal force and gravity, instead there are angels pushing them around on orbit. And you know that protons have the same charge, and similar charges repel. They aren't held to the neutrons by gravity, no! They are held in place by the atom angels!
