“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands” (Psalm 19:1–4). The book Psalms was written by King David, and in this verse he was talking about how the heavens proclaim the glory of God ,but does it really? Yes, the sky really does proclaim the glory of God; there are actually three areas of Christ's life when the sky shows signs. The first was when God showed signs of Christ's conception. The second sign was when the star of Bethlehem appeared and how it showed Christ's birth. The final sign of Christ's life was at the crucifixion of Christ.
Today we have new technology that allows us to do many incredible things. One of those things is the ability to calculate the stars, where they will go and where they have been.

Yes, in Revelation 12:1 it states “A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head.” What does that have to do with the conception of Jesus?

God is so big and powerful that we can't even wrap our minds around Gods abundance of power and majesty. From the conception of Christ into the Virgin Mary, to the birth of our Savior Jesus Chirst, finally to the crucifixtion of the Messiah. God has been showing his power in this great “celestial poem” from the beginning of Christ's life to the end.“Lift your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name. Because of His great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.” (Isaiah 40:26)
