What does dreaming about sun, moon & stars mean in the Bible?
God's glory declared — and Joseph's own dream
In Scripture
The sun, moon and stars bowed to Joseph in the Bible's most famous dream — a God-given glimpse of a future only He could bring about. The heavens declare God's glory, and believers are called to shine like stars. Such a dream may lift your eyes from present circumstances to God's larger story.
