Now Spica is the brightest star in the constellation Virgo, and its name derives from Latin which means "ear of [wheat] grain". And this explains why this brilliant white star marks the Ear of Wheat shown in the Virgin's left hand.

Spica is a massive star with more than 10 times the mass of the Sun and seven times the Sun's radius. It also has a total luminosity which is about 12,100 times that of the Sun. At only 240 light years distance, Spica is one of the nearest stars to the Sun that has enough mass to end its life in a massive supernova explosion, and when it does it will possibly become brighter than the full Moon and would also be seen in broad daylight for several weeks!

In the book of Numbers there is a prophecy about a star that will come out or march out of its place:

Numbers 24: 17 “I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near. A star will come out of Jacob; a scepter will rise out of Israel.

Is Revelation 12 telling us that Spica will explode into a supernova soon at a time when the new Moon is located at Virgo?
