The Bible and The Zodiac: Two scrolls, one message
In the Bible there is one
very well established reality: Yahuah has hidden Himself from the masses. He
has hidden things of the Spiritual Realm and preserved them for His
chosen sons and daughters. In other words, Yahuah does provide
Divine
Counsel (known as divination) to those whom He chooses and that is not
forbidden. We see Rav Sha’ul, the Apostle, speak of these
hidden things
that were established and ordained before the world was created as secret
knowledge ‘for our glory’. That which was created before the world is the
Original Revelation in the stars! What we call The Zodiac. It was the first and
most complete Gospel of Yahusha the Messiah.
1
Corinthians 2
4 And my
speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom (Sha’ul or Yahusha did not speak in literal terms),
but in the demonstration of the Spirit of Holiness and of power (which gives us understanding of hidden things): 5
That your faith should not stand in the (literal)
wisdom of men (to be taken literally), but in
the power of Yahuah (In a Mystery Language taught only
by The Holy Spirit to a chosen few). 6 However we (Yahuah’s Chosen Few) speak wisdom (Spiritual Understanding) among them that are perfect
(perfected by The Spirit of Holiness): yet not
the wisdom (literal / pagan / natural understanding)
of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nothing (they do not understand the Bible language nor the meaning of
The Zodiac): 7 But we (Yahuah’s Chosen Few)
speak the wisdom of Yahuah in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which (these mysteries and hidden wisdom) Yahuah ordained
before the world unto our glory.
As I have shown throughout
this book, Yahuah has declared the Plan of Salvation was originally written in
the stars (called Heaven) in what the Bible calls
The Mazzaroth. We call
it the Zodiac
which means (The Way). Yahusha is the fulfillment of the
Plan of Salvation written in the Zodiac and he came to show us The Way by
fulfilling the Heavenly Scroll.
These “hidden secret things”
cannot be understood in the natural or literal sense; they are disclosed
through physical shadows and metaphors much like that of the signs of the
Zodiac. The sin in the Zodiac is not trying to discern the divine message
they contain (righteous divination), but in understanding the Zodiac literally
and worshipping the constellations, sun, moon, and stars.
Deuteronomy
3:19
When you look
up to the sky (sky is Hebrew shamayim/Zodiac)
and see the sun, moon, and stars (speaking of the
Zodiac) — the whole heavenly (Mazzaroth/Zodiac)
creation — you must not be seduced to worship and serve them (signs of the Zodiac), for Yahuah your Elohim has
assigned them (the signs of the Zodiac) to all
the people of the world (they were created by Yahuah
to proclaim the coming Messiah Yahusha, see Psalm 19, they are not gods).
We see the Zodiac was
assigned meaning and proclaims a message to all the people of the world.
The signs (constellations)
are symbols with meaning that shadow spiritual truths of the coming Messiah.
Pictographs that tell a story; as the Sun travels through the constellations each
year.
Sha’ul continues:
1
Corinthians 2:4-15
8 Which none
of the princes of this world knew (speaking of the
hidden mysteries): for had they known it (the
true message contained in The Zodiac), they would not have crucified the
King of glory (because the ‘Lamb that would be
slaughtered’ was foretold in the Zodiac Revelation 13:8). 9
But as it is written, (the natural) EYE (does not see Spiritual Truths and) hath not seen (the hidden mysteries), nor (the
natural) EAR heard (the Spiritual Truth),
neither have (these mysteries) entered into the
(natural) HEART of (natural)
man (humanity has been given over to a Spirit of Error
and the mind has been depraved of Spiritual understanding Romans 1),
the things which Yahuah hath prepared for them (the
hidden mysteries prepared before the foundation of the world, written in the
stars) that Love Him. 10 But Yahuah hath revealed them (the secret mysteries and hidden knowledge) unto us by
His Spirit of Truth (righteous divination):
We see Sha’ul above in verse
10 say clearly that divination in the sense of seeking our Yahuah for direction
through the Ruach is the only way to obtain the hidden mysteries. Divination
is seeking Divine Counsel. Righteous divination is seeking that counsel
from Yahuah through the Spirit (Ruach). We see an example of this in Genesis
30:27 “27 But Laban said to him, “If I have
found favor in your eyes, please stay. I have learned by divination that Yahuah
has blessed me because of you”…Unrighteous divination is seeking
divine counsel through “another spirit”.
1 John
4:1
Beloved, do
not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from
Yahuah, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
Sha’ul’s protégé, Timothy,
also understood these things:
1 Timothy
3:9
9 Holding
the mystery (hidden or secret things: G3466) of
the faith in a pure conscience.
Below is what the word
“secret” or “hidden” means in Hebrew:
Hebrew
Lexicon word H5641 –
Secret is the word Cathar (saw-thar') which means:
I. to hide,
conceal
A. (Niphal)
i. to hide
oneself
ii. to be
hidden, be concealed
B. (Piel) to
hide carefully
C. (Pual) to be
hidden carefully, be concealed
D. (Hiphil) to
conceal, hide
E. (Hithpael) to
hide oneself carefully
Yahuah
has literally hidden Himself in plain sight! He has hidden Himself in His word and in
His creation. We all have His Word, but only those who speak His Mystery
Language (like Yahusha) understand what those words mean!
We see that all His prophets,
through divination (Divine Counsel) were given this mystery language and
understood the message contained in the stars:
Daniel
2
20 Daniel
answered and said, Blessed be the name of God (Yahuah)
for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are His: 21 And He changes the times
and the seasons: He removes kings, and sets up kings: He gives (Spiritual) wisdom unto the (chosen)
wise, and knowledge to them that know (Spiritual)
understanding: 22 He reveals the deep and secret things!
Isaiah
was eventually given this Mystery Language after many years of not
understanding the Heavenly Scroll. Speaking of the message that is heard
throughout all the Earth, written in the Zodiac:
Isaiah
48
6 You
have heard these things (the stars proclaim);
look at them all (the constellations). Will you
not admit them (they proclaim a message)? ‘From
now on I will tell you of new things (written in the
stars), of hidden things unknown to you (mysteries
preserved in the heavens). 7 They are created now, and not long
ago; you have not heard of them before today. So you cannot say, “Yes, I knew
of them.” 8 You have neither heard nor understood (the Heavenly Scroll); from of old your ears have not been open (to hear its message).
Yahuah simply did not
give The Spirit of Holiness to all of His Chosen that teaches us to know these
hidden secret things until The Yahushaic Covenant.
Even
then, Yahusha continued to veil these things behind parables and parallels so
that only those so chosen could understand:
Matthew
13
10 The disciples came to him and asked, ‘Why do you speak
to the people in parables?’ 11 He replied, ‘Because the knowledge of
the secrets of the kingdom
of heaven
has been given to you, but not to them. 12 Whoever has (the Spirit of
Holiness) will be given (speaking of a
future date when Yahuah pour out His Spirit) more (hidden knowledge), and they will have an abundance (of Spiritual understanding). Whoever does not have,
even what they have will be taken from them. 13 This is why I speak to them in parables: ‘Though
seeing (with their physical eyes), they do not
see (the Spiritual parallel); though hearing (with their physical ear), they do not hear (the Spiritual Truth) or understand (the Spiritual meaning). 14 In them is fulfilled the prophecy of
Isaiah:
‘“You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
you
will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
15 For this people’s
heart has become calloused;
they
hardly hear with their ears,
and
they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear
with their ears,
understand
with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.”
16 But blessed are your eyes because they see (the physical to Spiritual parallels), and your ears
because they hear (the Truth). 17 For truly I tell you, many prophets
and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear
what you hear but did not hear it (because it was not
revealed until The Yahushaic Covenant and only then to a Chosen Few).
Matthew 13:35
That it might be
fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in
parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation
of the world.
Yes,
Yahuah has hidden Himself in His Word and His creation in a Mystery Language
that only the Chosen Few are ever given eyes to see and ears to hear and a mind
to understand. You must have The Spirit of Holiness who teaches you this
Mystery Language to understand the things of Yahuah. That
is how the Zodiac is properly understood, not in literal terms. The signs of
the Zodiac are just that, “signs” created by Yahuah which are metaphors and
allegories pertaining to the coming Messiah. It
is when we look up at the stars and constellation, interpret them literally,
and worship them, and seek “their” counsel directly that divination is a sin we
are in error.
1 Corinthians 14:2
2 For he that speaks in an unknown tongue (Mystery
Metaphorical Language)
speaks not unto (the physical things of) men, but unto (the hidden Spiritual things of) Yahuah: for no man
understands him (they don’t have eyes to see, ears to hear); however in the spirit (of Holiness) he speaks mysteries (of the Kingdom
of Yahuah).
This Mystery Language
is spoken in allegorical terms through metaphors, idioms, similes,
psalms/poetry, anthropomorphisms, physical to Spiritual
parallels, proverbs, pictographs, numerology, etc. It is a metaphorical
language.
King
Solomon was given the Mystery Language, the wisdom, and knowledge of
understanding the Zodiac properly. It is said that “wisdom” is the
anthropomorphism of “astrology” in the writings of Solomon. Astrologers in the
Bible are called “wise men” and Solomon was the wisest man to have ever lived. Much
of the misuse of Yahuah’s creation into occult practices, witchcraft,
unrighteous divination, corrupted astrology, and Jewish mysticism (Kabballah)
are attributed to King Solomon today.
Jewish Virtual Library.org ‘Ancient Jewish
History: Astrology’
Genesis 24:1 is interpreted as the gift of
astrology (Tosef., Kid. 5:17). Astrological consultation is one of the methods
suggested by Jethro to Moses for governing the Children of Israel (Mekh.,
Amalek 2). Several instances are cited of astrologers whose predictions of
future events came true (e.g., Shab. 119a). Gentile rulers were considered to
have been especially well versed in astrology or to have consulted astrological
experts; but knowledge of astrology was also attributed to King Solomon (Eccl.
R. 7:23 no. 1). Nevertheless, the rabbis of the Talmud were skeptical of the
astrologers' ability to interpret the stars correctly; they conceded the
possibility that the astrologers might be able to predict the future by
consulting the stars, but claimed that they err in understanding the contents
of their forecasts. On the basis of the phrase in Isaiah 8:19, "the
familiar spirits that chirp and mutter" (ha-meẓafẓefim
ve-ha-mahgim), they developed the exegesis: "They gaze (ẓofin) and
know not at what they gaze, they ponder (mehaggin) and know not what they
ponder" (Sot. 12b).
We
see above that it is possible to make future predictions using the stars (as
did Yahuah’s prophets), but the gentile astrologers did not know how to read
the stars accurately as they did not possess the Spirit of Yahuah. We read in
the Book of Wisdom, below, as Solomon describes the “wisdom of Yahuah” and how
those who seek divine counsel (divination) apart from Yahuah will be deceived:
Wisdom
2
21 Such
things they did imagine, and were deceived: for their own wickedness hath
blinded them. 22 As for the mysteries of Yahuah, they knew them not
Wisdom
6:22
As for
wisdom, what she is, and how she came up, I (Yahuah)
will tell you (Solomon), and will not hide
mysteries from you: but will seek her out from the beginning of her nativity,
and bring the knowledge of her into light, and will not pass over the truth.
Wisdom
8:4
For she (wisdom) is privy to the mysteries of the knowledge
of Yahuah, and a lover of his works (creation, The
Zodiac).
We
read in The Book of Ben Sira (written by the Jewish scribe Shimon ben Yahusha
ben Eliezer ben Sira of Jerusalem nearly 200 years before Yahusha lived which
is considered the earliest witness to a canon of the books of the prophets):
Ben
Sira 3
19 Many are in
high place, and of renown: but mysteries are revealed unto the meek (righteous divination). 20 For the power of Yahuah is
great, and He is honoured of the lowly. 21 Seek not out (divination, seeking Divine Counsel) things that are
too hard for you, neither search the things that are above your strength. 22
But what is commanded of you, think upon with reverence, for you do not need to
see with your (physical) eyes the things that
are in secret.
Now,
if you carefully read the verses above, you will now know and understand that
the secret, hidden mysteries of Yahuah are told through parables (and parallels,
shadow picture, and analogies) that not everyone is going to understand. That
is specifically true of the Zodiac whose images are pictographs not gods. Only
the humble and repentant heart (inner man, the righteousness seeking mindset)
will perceive them. These things are understood in creation by means of a
metaphorical language of physical to spiritual parallels. It is within this
context the Zodiac is righteously interpreted.
Matthew
11:25
At that time
Yahusha answered and said, I thank you, O Father, King of heaven (the place where the stars are located, i.e. The
Mazzaroth/Zodiac) and earth, because you have hid these things (secrets preserved in the stars/heaven Enoch 9:6)
from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them unto babes
We need to understand that
much of what Yahuah forbids, is forbidden due to our “intention” of giving
His Glory to another. We find anything that is done giving the Glory to
Yahuah is considered a Righteous act. At the same time, those exact same things
done in honor of another god… wicked acts. The difference is not in the act
itself, but in the spirit or attitude in doing the act.
Isaiah 42:8
I am Yahuah; that is
my name! I will not yield my glory to another or my praise to graven images
When we look at such things
as astrology, divination, and the Zodiac; this same thing applies.
· We see that those who used the
Zodiac as a function of Yahuah’s creation and original revelation of the Plan
of Salvation… called true Prophets. Where those who attempted to
understand the Zodiac outside of Yahuah… called Soothsayers, star
gazers, and fools.
· The prophets of Yahuah
understood the Zodiac as a Divine Plan and discerned the Sun as a physical
metaphor or shadow picture of the coming Messiah. Those not inspired by Yahuah
saw the Sun as a god named Helios, Ba’al, Apollo, etc.
· The prophets who knew The
Creator saw the signs of the Zodiac as divinely named and inspired shadows to
proclaim the life of the coming Messiah as pictographs. Those not inspired by
Yahuah saw the signs of the Zodiac as gods of the Pantheon or Olympus.
It is the age old battle
between interpreting the heavens as a function of The Creator Yahuah vs. those
who interpreted the heavens, the constellations, Sun, and Moon as gods. The
Truth vs. Sun Worship.
The difference between
true prophets and false prophets; righteous divination and sorcery…
is the Spirit behind these acts.
1 John
4:1
Beloved, do
not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from
Yahuah, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.
We see such things as omens, divination,
and fortune telling forbidden by Yahuah. We then see Yahuah rise up His
prophets to do that exact thing; interpret omens (casting lots, signs in the
sky, dreams), employ divination (seek divine revelation), and tell the future
(prophecy). Therefore, all instances where these things are forbidden is in
the context of seeking divine counsel from other gods.
Daniel
2:27-28
Daniel
answered the king and said, “No wise men, enchanters, magicians, or astrologers
(under their own strength and wisdom) can show
to the king the mystery that the king has asked, but there is a Elohim in
heaven (the Zodiac) who reveals mysteries (through His Ruach to those whom He chooses), and he
has made known (through righteous divination) to
King Nebuchadnezzar what will be in the latter days (fortune
telling, we call it prophecy).
We see Yahuah make such
declarations as
Deuteronomy 18:9-12
“When you come into
the land that Yahuah your Elohim is giving you, you shall not learn to follow
the abominable practices of those nations (who seek
divination from other gods). There shall not be found among you anyone
who burns his son or his daughter as an offering (to
another god), anyone who practices divination (from
another god), or tells fortunes (from another
god) or interprets omens (from another god),
or a sorcerer or a charmer or a medium or a necromancer or one who inquires of
the dead, for whoever does these things (from another
god) is an abomination to Yahuah. And because of these abominations
Yahuah your Elohim is driving them out before you.
We need to put these
restrictions in the proper context of ‘from another god’ because then,
we see the very same practices performed giving Yahuah the Glory and they are
not an abomination; rather those men are His highest representatives i.e.
prophets!
We see the practice of
divination by interpreting omens, dreams, the Zodiac, casting of lots, and the
use of Urim and Thummin to seek divine counsel from Yahuah as righteously
done by ‘prophets’.
The very definition of Urim
and Thummin is they are vessels used for divination. Remember, divination is a
contraction ‘divin’ation’ of Divine Revelation and coming from
Yahuah that is not only acceptable but the highest honor. Seeking it from
anything other than Yahuah is an abomination, that is the context of
Deuteronomy 18.
We read in the Jewish
Encyclopedia concerning the practice of divination (seeking Divine
Counsel) using this method, the Jewish Encyclopedia avoids the debate over
divination by calling it “divine communication” which is exactly what
divination is:
I
Sam. xxviii. 3-6 mentions three methods of divine communication:
(1) the dream-oracle, of which frequent mention is made also in Assyrian and
Babylonian literature; (2) the oracle by means of the Urim (here, undoubtedly,
an abbreviation for "Urim and Thummim"); (3) the oracle by the word
of the Prophets, found among all Semitic nations.
The
only other mention of actual consultation of Yhwh by means of the Urim and
Thummim found in the Old Testament is in Num. xxvii. 21. Eleazar was then high
priest, and Moses was permitted by the Lord to address Him directly. But Joshua
and his successors could speak to the Lord only through the mediation of the
high priest and by means of the Urim and Thummim. It cannot be inferred that
answers were received at that time by means of them (V. Ryssel, in Kautzsch,
"Apokryphen," p. 394).
The word translated as
divination
in scripture means “witchcraft” in context, and is defined in scripture
as “divination by consulting a familiar spirit”. When we see the word
divination
in scripture it is referring to a specific form of divination not a blank
statement against all divination but only from “familiar spirits” or other gods.
This is because the people would seek knowledge from their dead relative which
are ‘familiar spirits’.
Notice in the definition of
divination from the Brown-Driver-Briggs concordance, definition 3 is “in a good
sense” demonstrating that there is actually righteous divination!
So at the heart of this
matter is the Spirit behind the person/act. Do they represent Yahuah, or
another god? Is the focus of their actions giving Glory to Yahuah as The
Creator, to foretell His Will, or by a man who seeks his own personal gain?
With The Zodiac, it can be
used both ways:
·
It can be used by a Prophet… or a
soothsayer/star gazer
·
It can foretell the Plan of
Salvation… or be used for horoscopes
·
It can represent The Sun a
metaphor for Yahuah/Yahusha… or be seen as a god (Helios, Ba’al)
·
It can tell us of the coming
Messiah (Yahusha)… or be the basis of a demi-god (Apollo, Horus, Jesus,
Krishna)
·
Stars and Consolations can be
signs from Yahuah… or used as pagan Omens and made into ‘gods’
·
In the Zodiac we can see a
Cherubim… or the Sphinx
Mankind has always erred in
giving what is Yahuah’s Glory to graven images, pagan gods, mythological
figures, etc. When it comes to Creation, Yahuah alone reserves the Glory and He
will not give it to anyone or anything else… that is why any act such as
divination, fortune telling, sorcery, magic, witchcraft, etc. are strictly
forbidden in context of “familiar spirits’; because those are the terms
for using Creation improperly or seeking divine counsel outside of the Spirit
of Yahuah!
Isaiah 45
5 I am Yahuah, and
there is no other; apart from me there is no God. 7
I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, Yahuah, do all these things.
12 It is I who
made the earth and created mankind upon it. My own hands
stretched out the heavens (stars); I marshaled
their starry hosts (constellations).
In every culture since the creation of man, “God” is seen as the author of
The Zodiac. Above, notice “God” is authoring the Zodiac with his son “on his
mind”
Isaiah 44
24 “This is what Yahuah says— your Redeemer, who
formed you in the womb: I am Yahuah, the Maker of all things, who stretches out
the heavens (to tell a story), who spreads out the earth by myself.
Isaiah 46
5 "To whom will you compare
me or count me equal? To whom will you liken me that we may be
compared? 8 "Remember this, fix it in mind, take it to heart, you rebels.
9 Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like me. 10 I make known the end from the beginning
(written in The Zodiac), from ancient times, what is still to come. I say: My
purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.
The bottom line is that
Yahuah created the stars and the constellations, named them, gave them their
meaning, proclaimed the Gospel in them, and will not give that Glory to
another. So any use of the Zodiac outside of the Spirit of Yahuah is… sin.
We know that the heavens
or Zodiac declare Yahuah’s Glory which is Yahusha; not the glory of any other
so called “gods” or “demi-gods”. We know that Yahuah’s Glory is Yahusha. Therefor the heavens or Zodiac declare
Yahusha, not any other pagan demi-god.
Therein lies the Battle of
the Ages, the battle ground is the Zodiac, the Heavenly Scroll! Who is the
Messiah who fulfills it? Pagan demi-god ‘Christs’, or Yahusha the Messiah? All
pagan ‘Christs’ were assimilated into one demi-god at the Council of Nicaea
named Hesus Horus Krishna. We know this false image today as Jesus H. Christ. The
reason Jesus represents the sun rituals of Christmas, Easter, the Trinity, and
so forth is because that image is based on the corrupted version of the Zodiac.
See my book The Antichrist Revealed! For an in depth analysis of this false
messianic image.
The Battle of the Ages has
come down to Jesus vs. Yahusha; one is the fulfillment of the
true message in the Zodiac, the other the twisted version of the Zodiac. Whom
do you follow?
Could it be that the reason
there are no real prophets left on Earth, like those of the likes of Moses, Jeremiah,
Elijah, Daniel, Yahusha, and John the revelator; is because we have denied
Yahuah the very basic foundation of all prophecy. The Zodiac? We have turned
out back on any form of divination even when it is done seeking counsel from
Yahuah like all the aforementioned prophets?

The three-level world of astrology: the twelve mundane houses surrounding
the twelve Zodiac signs and the seven planets (seals over the Heavenly Scroll),
with the earth at the centre. The entire system is shown to be under God’s
control… The British Library, C.4.c.9
Isaiah 42
5 This is what Yahuah says— He who created the heavens
(the stars and constellations) and stretched
them out (in order as the Sun moves through them
to proclaim a message), who spread out the earth
and all that comes out of it, who gives breath to its people, and life to those
who walk on it:
We find that many things when
done in context of giving Yahuah the Glory or Esteem, they are perfectly
acceptable. For instance things like animal sacrifices and prayers. Both are performed
by the people of Yahuah and by pagan religions.
It is a well-established
fact, even scientific in nature, that the heavenly bodies in the Zodiac have
some relationship to what happens here on Earth. It is the degree to which they
either have influence or they are a reflection of what happens on Earth that is
in question.
For instance, the Moon
impacts the tides in our oceans. It is proven the full moon has an impact on
our psyche. But, do the stars and the constellations have any impact on each
individual life on Earth? Or maybe they don’t actually have an influence but Yahuah
has encoded in them knowledge of every human He created? This subject is much
the same as the Bible Code. Well, we know that the Zodiac foretells of at least
one man’s life, that of Yahusha! But do they somehow have a relationship to the
lives of the rest of us? That is the age old question of Astrology. One that is
not answered in scripture nor is it forbidden to ask as long as it is
Yahuah you are seeking those answers from. Not familiar spirits or
fallen angels or the spiritual remnant of the Nephilim known as demons.
There are those who believe
the stars influence our daily lives, and therefore they consult their daily
horoscopes which is the forbidden use of divination. There are those
that believe that the stars provide valuable insight into the personalities of
each person based on the alignment of the stars on the day of their birth called
a Natal Chart (depending on who you give credit for this could be righteous or
unrighteous divination). Then there are those who believe they can manipulate
our reality by “telling the stars” through magic and witchcraft, obvious sin. Then
there are those who say all of it is nonsense and trust only in scientific
astronomy (deny Yahuah’s mysterious hidden knowledge encoded in the stars)
which is obvious sin. And, of course, then there are established religions of
Christianity and most of Judaism that tells us it really doesn’t matter because
all of it is forbidden by Yahuah (not true… they sound bite scripture out of
context as I have shown. They desire to control access to Yahuah and limit the
masses from seeking divine counsel directly from the Creator so established
religion forbids direct contact with the Creator to elevate its own
priests/preachers over their followers) which is ignorance.
I want to address this issue
and see if I can shed some light on all of it. I do not represent myself as an
expert in any of these sacred disciplines studied by the greatest prophets of
Yahuah such as Moses, Elijah, Jeremiah, Isaiah, Daniel, Yahusha, and John. I,
like many of you, have steered clear of the entire issue all my life. I was
taught it was a sin by my religion (I was also taught the Law, the Sabbath,
Passover, and the entire original scriptures were sin too by that same
religion). However, over the process of writing this book, I have come to see
this subject in a new light; and come to understand the scriptures from a
different perspective (just like I did when I realized the Law, Sabbath,
Passover, and original scriptures were still in effect!).
I will do my best here to
shed whatever light on this subject I can, given my lack of wisdom and
knowledge into these things. To be clear, my definition of righteous astrology
is to seek out the divine message behind it and to be vigilant to the “signs”
in the stars as instructed in His word. It would seem that a basic personality
profile is written in the stars based on the day you were born. It is
only a guideline to your strengths and weaknesses to assist you in becoming all
Yahuah has created you to be. Using the stars to predict your future, daily or
long term is an abomination to Yahuah and an abuse of the Zodiac. It is in that
sense that “astrology” is unrighteously used, as it becomes a source of “self”
seeking instead of a righteous seeking mind set on Yahuah.
We are to see His will
be done on Earth as it is in ‘heaven’ or written in the stars. We are not to
seek to see our will be done as it is written in the stars. That is the
defining line between righteous and unrighteousness.
This book is written solely
from the standpoint of seeking to understand the Gospel message authored into
creation by the Creator. What we have done in this book would be considered
righteous divination (seeking divine counsel) as we have acknowledged Yahuah in
His creation and given to Him all Glory in the magnificence of the Zodiac and
proclaimed His Glory (Yahusha) through the Heavenly Scroll. This is Astrology
the way Yahuah intended.
If we look back over the
progression of the Ages we find that as the age progresses in time, humanity
falls away from the knowledge of Yahuah. Then we find that Yahuah steps into
our realm and moves mightily to re-establish His Name and His Glory:
· Age of Taurus – After the fall of Adam, the intimate knowledge of
Yahuah that Adam possessed, began to fade. Each successive generation became
more and more wicked and lawless. Mankind eventually lost all knowledge of the
Creator and sin dominated the hearts of man. Yahuah had to step in, destroy the
surface of the Earth and everything on it and begin over with Noah. Yahuah
revealed Himself in a personal way to Noah to re-establish His Name, His Laws
and His Glory.
· Age of Aries – After Noah, mankind again drifted away from the
Creator, losing knowledge of Yahuah and chasing after other “gods”. Yahuah
again stepped in and revealed Himself to Abraham in a personal way to
re-establish His Name, His Laws, and His Glory. Over time the Israelites again
began chasing after other “gods” and were taken into Egyptian captivity where
they lost all knowledge of the Creator. Yahuah stepped in again, revealed
Himself to Moses in a personal way to re-establish His Name, His Laws, and His
Glory. Toward the end of the age, we became very legalistic and ritualistic doing
things for the sake of doing them without love for our Creator. We removed the
“reason” for the Laws and the rituals, and sought righteousness through works.
· Age of Pisces – Yahuah again stepped in and revealed Himself to
Yahusha in a very personal way to re-establish His Name, His Laws, and His
Glory. This time removing the enmity we felt toward our Creator because of the
threat of death for disobedience. With the introduction of Yahuah’s mercy and
grace, the Law became a joy to us and we were able to be obedient out of love
and respect for our Creator as our ‘Abba’ or Father. Over time, we lost sight
of His Righteousness (Laws) and focused solely on His mercy forgetting His Laws
and His Name. Toward the end of this age, we have come to do “whatever is right
in our own eyes”, forgetting His name for titles and for Ba’al worship.
· Age of Aquarius - The Messiah returns to reclaim the lost and
re-unite the Household of Yahuah, destroy all sin and lawbreakers from the face
of the Earth and setup the Kingdom of Yahuah on Earth. At the end of this age,
the same thing happens yet again as “Satan” is loosed and mankind again falls
into rebellion. Yahuah then destroys this Earth with fire.
The reason I point this
process out here is this: we find ourselves again at the end of an age in need
of a Divine Correction! Humanity has fallen so far from the knowledge of the
Creator that it is about to take a major Divine act of correction to put us
back on course again. Yahuah is moving on His elect and calling them out of the
nations where they have been scattered. He is moving on us to go back to the
beginning of this Age, just after His last Divine Correction, to seek out our
faith. We are going back 2000 years and attempting to put ourselves back into
that language/cultural matrix called the Hebraic Mindset.
We are looking back at the
writings of that day, the historical documents, the religious texts, and
piecing together “where it all went wrong”. We are discovering, in the process,
the fulfillment of the false religion and false messiah that has lead all
humanity astray. We are now realizing the effects of Hellenism and syncretism. We
can look back over the past 2000 years with “eyes to see” and discern how
mankind gradually began to slip away from the Creator. Once again, we have
fallen into a model of humanism, and this time a scientific dictatorship that
denies The Creator completely.
With each successive
generation, the mysteries of The Creator were gradually replaced with
mythology, then philosophy, then humanism, and now science. The truth of Yahuah
has been blended with paganism, mythology, sun worship, philosophy, and even
pseudo-science (Christian Science movement and Scientology cults). With every
step we take as a race on Earth, it is a step further away from the last
Divine correction and one step closer to the next! So to reverse that path
as individuals (we can’t stop the coming Divine Correction), we must go back
2000 years (and beyond) to re-establish that faith. The
only thing we know for certain is that what we are being told from established
religions today are all lies… and Yahusha is coming back to correct mankind yet
again.
This is why I, Rav Sha’ul,
test everything, and when “religion” tells me “don’t look at that!”;
I look ever harder to see what it is they don’t want me to see.
One area that we are
reluctant to investigate is the “supernatural” or mystical element of Yahuah;
the realm of the Spirit and the ancient mysteries of how His creation works! Established
religion has forbidden it as sin (an error of the Pope), and humanistic science
has dismissed it as fables. Yet, when we look back 2000 years in the past just
after the last Divine correction; the Zodiac was a very prominent aspect
of their faith: both Jewish and Christian.
Many of the great prophets of
Yahuah were astrologers! We simply will not admit this truth even though it is
plainly stated in scripture. Astrology was the forefather of modern day
astronomy something science refuses to admit! The difference is: we (who know
our Creator) give Yahuah the Glory in astrology (seeking out the message of the
Heavenly Scroll), where in modern day astronomy we deny Him altogether and deny
Yahuah His Glory as Creator. In this chapter we are going to take a very hard
look at scripture and be very honest with ourselves in what we read. We
are not going to overlook anything, or read over it, and pretend we didn’t see
it.
·
If Yahuah says He created and named the stars,
then so be
it… HalleluYahuah!
·
If Yahuah said He created and named each constellation and gave
them their meaning, then so be it… HalleluYahuah!
·
If Yahuah said He set the path of the sun through the constellations
as a message that goes out to all mankind,
then so be it… HalleluYahuah!
·
If Yahuah said he bound specific constellations together, then
then
so be it… HalleluYahuah!
·
If, in His word, He declares the specific names of the signs of
the Zodiac and says He was the author,
then so be it… HalleluYahuah!
·
If the prophets used the Zodiac as the foundation of their
understanding, then so be it… HalleluYahuah!
·
If Yahuah uses the Zodiac to witness to His chosen ones on earth,
then so be it… HalleluYahuah!
·
Far be it
from me to not teach the Truth of His
word to tickle the ears of the people. If people want to ignore me, judge me,
and disown me, because I teach the Heavenly Scroll found in the Zodiac…
then
so be it… HalleluYahuah!
I am not going to deny Yahuah
His glory simply because established religion is in open denial of the Truth. We,
in this book, are not going to stick our head in the sand and pretend there is
no positive mention of the Zodiac and signs of the Zodiac in scripture, when it
is written all over the scriptures!
We are going to look at the
role such things as the Zodiac and divination play in the Bible when done
giving the Glory to Yahuah. We are going to define some terms, and come to a
better understanding of things, not simply run from the word “Zodiac” because
the enemy has perverted it (that is all the more reason to look into it
further). As we have been doing in this book so far, we are going to remove the
blinders placed over our eyes by Hellenizing words and concepts. We are not
going to simply turned our backs on the mysteries of the Kingdom of Yahuah or
deny our Creator His Glory in creation just because
the Pope said so.
We are not going to just
assume certain things are forbidden and a sin simply because
the Pharisees
in Judaism told us so. We are not going to sound-bite scripture to
justify or current belief system. We are going to look at all things in full
context. We are going to examine these things for ourselves, in other words!
Is the Zodiac a pagan symbol,
or is it a Divine representation of the order of our cosmos given to us by the
Creator? Are all forms of divination a sin, or like most everything else, can
it be used both righteously and unrighteously based on context?
First we are going to look at
the history of both Judaism and Christianity dating back to the first century,
just after the last Divine Correction. Then we are going to closely inspect
Yahuah’s word to discern the truth behind divination. Are all forms of
divination forbidden? If not, then why is divination even forbidden at all, and
in what context is it Righteous in Yahuah’s eyes? So let us begin there as we
continue our journey to understand these ‘hidden things’.
Established religion is
notorious for sound biting scripture and teaching false doctrines to the people.
The sheeple are too lazy to do the research and study themselves. The leaders
of the Church, most of the time, take the easy way out. Instead of properly
teaching a subject (the people are too lazy to even pay attention that long),
they just teach a very strict version of it. That way they are sure the people
will not stumble getting lost in the fine print trying to do things on their
own. Divination is one such area where Church leaders find it better to
just “outlaw it” than try and explain the difference between its uses. Let us
not fall into that trap in this book! Let us look closely at this word
divination,
define it, put some context around it… and understand it.
Divination, by definition,
is
the act of seeking a divine prediction or divine counsel. Divination is in
effect a contraction of DIVINe + revelATION… Divin’ation. We see
in the definition that soothsaying and
prophecy are synonyms. Soothsaying
being the forbidden use of divination and prophecy being the righteous act of
divination. If we are to be very honest with ourselves, divination is not
prohibited by Yahuah outright. In fact, divination from Yahuah is found
practiced throughout the scriptures. Every mention of divination where it is
prohibited should be taken in the proper context. It is speaking of those who
seek ‘divine predictions or counsel’ from any source other than Yahuah.
Simply put, those who seek
divine counsel from Yahuah, who understand the stars (The Zodiac) as a
divine message (foretelling of the coming Messiah, Plan of Salvation, and
divine clock of the Ages), men who have the Spirit of Yahuah guiding them; are
called true prophets and wise men in scripture. All the prophets in
scripture were, what we would consider today, ‘astrologers’; in as much
as they consulted the stars to seek out Yahuah’s plan of salvation and to
foretell of the coming Messiah and other major events.
Wise men are what
Yahuah calls them, as “wisdom” seems to be directly related to the Heavenly
Scroll.
It is interesting to note,
that while all of Israel was expecting the Messiah’s birth as foretold by Daniel;
it was ONLY the wise men (Chaldean Astrologers) that actually found Yahusha,
no
one else. They used astrology, and the signs of the Zodiac to determine
the time and location of the Messiah’s birth as instructed by the prophet
Daniel (a master astrologer)! In fact, Daniel was elevated in the courts of
Babylon because of his expertise in using astrology and interpreting omens to
seek out the knowledge of Yahuah (divination). Those who live at the end of
the Age of Pisces, who look for the “sign of the son of man” in the sky
(which is a sign in the constellation Virgo defined in Revelation Chapter 12)
would be considered astrologers as well. Even Yahusha (who instructed us
to seek out that sign) would be considered an
astrologer. Yahusha made
many references to the Sign and the Ages of the Zodiac.
Those who seek divine counsel
(outside of Yahuah) from other ‘gods’, who see the Zodiac as means to foretell
the fortunes of all men for money, as a tool for witchcraft and sorcery, who
see the Zodiac signs, the Sun, and Moon as gods, and who are not guided by the
Spirit of Yahuah; are called false prophets, soothsayers, sorcerers, and
star gazers.
Deuteronomy 3:19
When
you look up to the sky (sky is Hebrew shamayim/Zodiac)
and see the sun, moon, and stars (speaking of the
Zodiac) — the whole heavenly (Mazzaroth/Zodiac)
creation — you must not be seduced to worship and serve them (signs of the Zodiac), for Yahuah your Elohim has
assigned them (the signs of the Zodiac) to all
the people of the world (they were created by Yahuah
to proclaim the coming Messiah Yahusha, see Psalm 19, they are not gods).
As we get further back in
this Age, closer to the last Divine Correction we begin seeing the Zodiac come
back into focus as a centerpiece of their faith. We see the Zodiac as
the centerpiece of both Judaism and Christianity! Right after the last Divine
Correction, mankind once again understood the message foretold in the “heavens”,
and gave glory to Yahuah as its author. In this chapter we will see the Zodiac was
the foundation of both Judaism and Christianity until the Pope outlawed
Yahuah’s Original Revelation (just as he did The Law, the Sabbath, Passover,
etc.).
Before we can rightfully
discern what the Bible truly says about such things, let us define a few terms.
1. Astrology: Astrology is the study of the positions of the
planets in relationship to each other and the vibrational influences these
relationships have upon humanity. It is the study of the names of the stars and
grouping of stars into constellations in such a way as to tell a story. Astrology
is both a science and an art. It is a science because constructing the chart is
based upon exacting mathematical calculations of the planets’ positions at the
time of birth. It is an art because it depends upon the skill and metaphysical
knowledge used in the interpretation of these planetary positions. The Wise Men
from the East, who came to pay homage to the baby Yahusha, were astrologers….
Webster’s
Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary.
2. Magic/Sorcery: Magic is an attempt by human beings to
compel a divinity, by the use of physical means, to do what they wish that
divinity to do. Stephen Benko, “Magic and Divination,” Harper’s Bible
Dictionary, 1985 ed.
As it is with anything else, there is a Righteous use and then there is
an unrighteous use. Moses’ staff is an example as Moses would use the staff to
“compel Yahuah” to act by parting the Red Sea or making water flow from a rock.
Or cast the staff down and turn it into a serpent and so forth. Moses’ bronze
serpent in the wilderness is an example of the use of magic. Numbers
21:4-9. This definition of magic also applies to the traditional
interpretation of Yahusha’s death on the cross. “And just as Moses lifted up
the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that
whoever believes in him may have eternal life.” John 3:14-15. The
implication being that the lifting up of Yahusha on a stake, compels Yahuah to
forgive and deliver those who believe. So by the strictest definition, that
would be “magic”.
3. Divination: Divination is “Divine Revelation”. It is
an “attempt to secure information, also by the use of physical means, about
matters and events that are currently hidden or that lie in the future from a
divine source. With divination, in contrast to magic, one does not seek to
alter the course of events, only to learn about them.”
Benko 594-595.
As we have already discussed; the Bible depicts
numerous avenues of divination. Among them are oracles, signs, calling up the
dead, dream interpretation, casting of lots, visions, and the ephods. An ephod
is a method of divination, used by the priests to determine Yahuah’s response
to a “yes” or “no” question asked by the leader of the people. These ephods are
called Urim and Thummim. They are worn by the priest in a pouch over the
heart.” Jeremiah Unterman, “Urim and Thummim,” Harper’s Bible Dictionary,
1985 ed.
An example of divination by
the ephod may be found in Numbers below:
Numbers 27:21
“But he shall stand before
Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him by the decision (seek a divine decision i.e. divination) of the Urim
before Yahuah; at his word they shall go out, and at his word they shall come
in, both he and all Israelites with him, the whole congregation.”
As I have already explained
in this chapter, scripture must be understood in “context” of how these things
are used. Are they employed by “prophets” of Yahuah or by false prophets giving
glory to other gods or accepting the glory themselves. Are they employed to
Glorify Yahuah and seek out His will, or are they employed for personal gain or
to gain advantage over others. The use of these things (astrology, magic,
divination, sorcery) is forbidden when used outside of the Spirit of Yahuah for
personal gain to make puppets out of others.
Isaiah
47:12-15
Stand fast in
your enchantments and your many sorceries, with which you have labored from
your youth; perhaps you may be able to succeed, perhaps you may inspire terror.
You are wearied with your many consultations; let those who study the heavens (outside of Yahuah’s Spirit) stand up and save you,
those who gaze at the stars (as to worship them as
idols), and at each new moon predict what shall befall you. See, they (who deny Yahuah His Glory in creation) are like
stubble, the fire consumes them; they cannot deliver themselves from the power
of the flame. No coal for warming oneself is this, no fire to sit before! Such
to you are those with whom you have labored, who have trafficked with you from
your youth; they all wander about in their own paths (self-seeking
mindset); there is no one to save you.”
Scripture presents 3 types of
individuals who practice these ancient arts:
1. Righteous Level - The astrologers (or Wise Men of Matthew 2) and the
Chaldeans, who have priestly functions, (of Daniel 1 and 2) rank on the highest
level. Daniel is among those highest ranked
Daniel 5:11. All of the
prophets in scripture fall into this category.
2.
Unrighteous Level - Below them we have sorcerers, enchanters, and
charmers. Sorcerers use the power gained from the evil spirits the Bible calls
“familiar spirits” to leverage the supernatural for personal gain or influence
over others. Webster’s Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary.
Revelation 21:8 and 22:15 include sorcerers in the list of those who will not
enter the kingdom of Yahuah.
3. Abomination Level - On the lowest level we find those “sheep in wolf’s
clothing” who claim to represent Yahuah and serve His people. They, however,
are imposters out to exploit the Household of Yahuah. For example, the
“impostors” of II Timothy 3:13: “But wicked people and impostors will go from
bad to worse, deceiving others and being deceived.”23 The magician in Acts
13:6-11 is an example of the impostor. This would be your Christian Preachers,
Priests, etc. They do not represent the interest of Yahuah, but their own
financial interests and “tickle the ears” of those who pay them to lie.
To discern what the Bible
teaches concerning astrology, divination, magic and so forth, it is not a cut
and dried answer. We also must look at the character of those in question. When considering “divination”
and the Zodiac, we find those at the highest level (1) understand the physical
to spiritual analogies behind the names of the stars/constellation. They seek
out how these signs proclaim the Original Revelation of Yahuah
concerning His Plan of Salvation through Yahusha. Men at mid-level (2 above) are
your soothsayers, false prophets, and we find the Bible forbids their
activities to fortune tell for a fee. Yahuah issued specific and definite
restriction forbidding the activities of levels 2 and 3. These prohibitions are
based on both the negative use of occult knowledge and the negative character
of the practitioners. We are strictly forbidden to use these “arts” for
personal gain or to influence others to achieve a desired outcome.
Again it is worshipping
the “starry hosts” which are the constellations/signs of the Zodiac that is
forbidden, NOT the Zodiac itself as it was created as a message to humanity. Yahuah
hates the worship of the Sun (Ba’al worship), the worship of the signs of the
Zodiac “starry hosts”, those who swear by other gods, and those who use
divination outside of seeking it from Yahuah:
Zephaniah
1:1-6
I will
destroy every remnant of Baal worship in this place, the very names of the
idolatrous priests— 5 those who bow down on the roofs to worship the starry
host, those who bow down and swear by Yahuah and who also swear by Molek, 6
those who turn back from following Yahuah (and seek out other gods) and neither
seek Yahuah nor inquire of him (righteous divination).”
Deuteronomy
3:19
When you look
up to the sky (sky is Hebrew shamayim/Zodiac)
and see the sun, moon, and stars (speaking of the
Zodiac) — the whole heavenly (Mazzaroth/Zodiac)
creation — you must not be seduced to worship and serve them (signs of the Zodiac), for Yahuah your Elohim has
assigned them (the signs of the Zodiac) to all
the people of the world (they were created by Yahuah
to proclaim the coming Messiah Yahusha, see Psalm 19, they are not gods).
Seeking out Yahuah’s “hidden
mysteries preserved in the heavens” as the basic foundation of prophecy, the
Plan of Salvation and the role of the Messiah is one thing… whereas worshipping
the constellations and the Sun is quite another.
In our scientific
mentality where it must be proven, seen, and proven again; we dismiss the
mysteries of the Kingdom of Yahuah that our ancient ancestors cherished.
We, today, scoff at the idea
of a supernatural aspect to His Creation, yet all the men in the Bible
proclaimed it. We love to say that Yahuah is the same yesterday, today, and
forever; yet we box Him into “dispensations”. We, in our own ignorance, say to
ourselves “Yahuah doesn’t speak to men today like He did in the “Old”
Testament”. Yes he does! He spoke to those prophets and mighty men of old
through the Zodiac! He is still speaking to us today as that message is heard
throughout the entire Earth as David proclaimed in Palms 19. It is we who
have stopped listening. We just give lip service to “Yahuah is the Creator”
then outright deny Him in His supernatural creation. The mere mention of the
Zodiac sends us into a panic! Astrology has been given a bad name by the misuse
and abuse of it. Make no mistake, however, is used in scripture as I have shown
by all Yahuah’s anointed prophets.
The Age old question (during
the Age of Pisces as we have fallen away from Yahuah over time, this was not
even questioned in past Ages) is “do the stars have an influence over the
events in individual lives on Earth?” Most of us say “no”, that is ridiculous.
Is it? In my own search for Yahuah,
I have an area of study I call “Rav Sha’ul’s School of Theoretical Theology”. There
is one pupil in this school, and one teacher. This is where I take what humanity
knows in the area of Theoretical Physics (the most advanced reaches of our most
talented scientific minds) and I employ those ideas to what I know about Yahuah.
My goal is to understand Yahuah’s creation at the most fundamental levels. The question of Astrology has
been answered by Theoretical Physics at the quantum level (the smallest levels
of physical reality). It has been proven that creation is linked in an
inexplicable way! It is called “Quantum Entanglement”. Below is the scientific
definition:
Quantum
entanglement is a physical phenomenon that occurs when pairs or groups of
particles are generated or interact in ways such that the quantum state of each
particle cannot be described independently—instead, a quantum state may be
given for the system as a whole.
Measurements
of physical properties such as position, momentum, spin, polarization, etc.
performed on entangled particles are found to be appropriately correlated. For
example, if a pair of particles is generated in such a way that their total
spin is known to be zero, and one particle is found to have clockwise spin on a
certain axis, then the spin of the other particle, measured on the same axis,
will be found to be counterclockwise; because of the nature of quantum
measurement. However, this behavior gives rise to effects that can appear
paradoxical: any measurement of a property of a particle can be seen as acting
on that particle (e.g. by collapsing a number of superposed states); and in the
case of entangled particles, such action must be on the entangled system as a
whole. It thus appears that one particle of an entangled pair
"knows" what measurement has been performed on the other, and with
what outcome, even though there is no known means for such information to be
communicated between the particles, which at the time of measurement may be
separated by arbitrarily large distances.
Ok, none of us are Quantum
Physicist, so let me put this in layman’s terms. Creation is linked together at
the smallest levels, such that the entire physical “system” of creation is
“linked together” as a whole! Distance is NOT a factor.
Whenever you change one
particle in the system, the other particle somehow “knows” of this change and
reacts accordingly… no matter how far away the two particles are from one
another and with no means of communication! So the answer to the Age old question
“can the stars have an impact on humans? Yes! They not only can, but they do. It
is proven that creation is ‘quantumly entangled” together by some
‘unknown’ force! That ‘unknown force’ is Yahuah, the Creator, and His creation
is linked together in a divine way that science is only now coming to realize. I’ll
leave this for another book. I just wanted to answer all those who, in their
ignorance, make such declarations that Astrology is nonsense and deny Yahuah of
His supernatural creation. There is a LOT MORE to creation that we have been
told, taught, or experienced in our Scientific Dictatorship. Truths known by
our ancient ancestors that we today deny. We would probably have more “divine
experiences” like they did then, if we acknowledged Yahuah as they did in His
creation.
Even though Yahuah outright
declares it was He who named every star, and brought forth each constellation
by name, and they proclaim a message that goes out unto all the Earth; we
dismiss the Zodiac as though it were a creation of the Greeks. All the
Greeks did was dream up a system of mythology around the Zodiac as to worship
the creation over the Creator. Speaking to the Greeks in Rome, Sha’ul warned
them against this very thing:
Romans
1
18 The wrath
of Yahuah is being revealed from heaven (the place
where the stars are located i.e. The Zodiac) against all the godlessness
and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth (of
its message) by their wickedness (and worship
the signs of the Zodiac, Sun, Moon, and stars), 19 since what may be
known about Yahuah (the Plan of Salvation) is
plain to them (is proclaimed in The Zodiac),
because Yahuah has made it plain to them (this message
goes out unto all the Earth Psalms 19, given to all mankind Deuteronomy
3:19). 20 For since the creation of the world (written in the stars at creation) Yahuah’s invisible
qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen (in The Zodiac, as Yahuah witnessed the Gospel to Abraham Genesis
15:5), being understood (they are metaphors
and analogies) from what has been made (in
heaven: the Sun, Moon, stars, and constellations Psalms 119), so
that people are without excuse. 21 For although they knew Yahuah (is The Creator), they neither glorified him as Elohim
nor gave thanks to him (for the message proclaimed in
the Zodiac), but their thinking became futile (understanding
the Zodiac literally as gods) and their foolish hearts were darkened (to worship the creation over The Creator). 22
Although they claimed to be wise (through philosophy
and mythology), they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the
immortal Elohim (the Glory of Yahuah is Yahusha 2
Corinthians 4:6! So they exchanged Yahusha) for images made to look
like a mortal human being (solar demi-gods) and birds and animals and reptiles (the signs of The Zodiac).
You see, the ‘heavens” which
is the Zodiac (stars and constellations) proclaim the Glory of Yahuah:
Psalms 19:1
The heavens (the Mazzaroth/Zodiac) declare the glory of Yahuah
That “glory of Yahuah” is
that they proclaim the coming Messiah Yahusha as he is “the Glory of Yahuah”
his father.
2
Corinthians 4:6 - 6
For it is
Yahuah who once said (when creating the heavens),
“Let light shine out of darkness,” who has made his light shine in our hearts, the light of the knowledge of Yahuah’s glory shining in
the face of the Messiah Yahusha.
So in Romans 1, Sha’ul is
explaining that the Greeks twisted the Zodiac and denied that it was
proclaiming Yahusha! Instead they made up demi-gods and worshipped the sings of
the Zodiac. Even today, we deny Yahuah as
the Creator of the Zodiac and turn over the Original Revelation
to all mankind to the Greeks and give them credit for creating it. When
we do so, we ignore historical facts. Our Western history books have hidden the
history of astrology under the category of astronomy. The heavenly
configurations have fascinated humanity from its earliest beginnings.
The information following is
from the book Zohar, The History of Astrology (New York: Arco
Publishing Co., Inc. 1972) which can be read online at Google Book.
Astrology
and astronomy were established as sciences around 5000 B.C.E. in Chaldea and
Babylonia. Many of the great names in the history of our world civilization
were astrologers. Our Western history books simply call them
philosophers, astronomers, doctors of medicine, theologians, politicians,
mathematicians—ignoring the fact that astrology played a major role in
their lives and thinking.
Born
in 572 B.C.E., Pythagoras, as a result of his study of the heavenly
configurations, knew the Earth is round. Many of our history books ignore this
fact. Through his study of the stars and their relationship to humanity (the
science of astrology), Pythagoras developed his doctrine of the harmony
existing between the heavens and our planet Earth, the macrocosm of the
universe and the microcosm of humanity. After his murder, Empedocles, Plato,
Socrates, and Aristotle continued the study of this doctrine. Aristotle taught
that our planet is inescapably linked to the motions of the cosmos of which it
is a member.
From
the earliest times, doctors of medicine are fascinated by the science of
astrology. Hippocrates, born around 460 B.C.E. and known as the “Father of
Medicine,” used astrology as the most scientific means of diagnosis available
to the Greek physicians of his time. The Hippocratic School of Medicine focused
on the study of the natal chart to determine the specific make-up of their
parents.
Galen,
born in 30 C.E., is called the “Father of Experimental Physiology.” His
treatise Prognostication of Disease by Astrology resulted in widespread
knowledge of astrological medicine. A synthesis of medical thought and
astrological medical knowledge, Galen’s books dominated the field of medicine
for 1500 years.
Born
around 100 C.E., Ptolemy had the reputation for being the greatest
astrologer/astronomer of all times. During Ptolemy’s day, “astrologia” and
“astronomia” meant the same thing. His Tetrabiblos marked the culmination of
astrological thought in the Graeco-Roman world. This book marked the end of the
controversy concerning astrology. Tetrabiblos laid the foundation for the
modern science of astrology. From that point on to the 17th century, astrology
and medicine were allies.
The
13th century poet Dante taught that the primary moving force for both God and humanity
is love. He believed the heavenly host of stars and planets turned under the
radiating influence of love. For Dante, physical life is explained in terms of
the spiritual.
Roger
Bacon, born in 1214, taught the stars are regulated by angelic intelligences.
An individual’s personal nature is determined by the heavenly configurations at
the time of birth. Medical astrology is valid because the functions of the
physical body are determined by the influence of the stars.
Born
around 1224, Thomas Aquinas is still considered to be one of the great
Christian theologians. He placed importance upon the science of astrology in
the study of natural science. According to Aquinas, God rules the inferior
creatures—our earthly bodies—through superior creatures—the stars. Both Bacon
and Aquinas believed the rational soul of humanity and the gift of freewill to
be exempt from stellar influence.
Paracelsus
was the most renowned and controversial advocate of astrology during the 15th
century. Paracelsus taught that activity within the cosmos affects all else.
Though he recognized the influence of the stars, he did not believe they
completely controlled the destinies of humanity. Instead, he felt that humanity
has the capacity to transcend the astrological influence of the stars. The
means by which humanity can transcend the stellar influence is wisdom, acquired
by the direct study of nature.
Jerome
Cardan, born in 1501, was one of the best minds of his age. A great
mathematician, physician, and astrologer, Cardan distinguished himself by the
cautious way in which he approached his research, seeking to confirm his
assertions with solid facts. Appointed professor of medicine at Pavia in 1547,
his published works on algebra and astrology brought him fame throughout Europe.
In
the late 15th century, the Roman church condemned astrology. Yet astrology
continued to influence the greatest of minds. Among these is Nostradamus, a
physician and astrologer born in 1503. Two great English scientists and
astrologers were Edmond Halley, born in 1656, and Isaac Newton, born around
1642. Their laws of motion provided a firm foundation for astrological
computation. Francis Bacon, born in 1561, recognized the connection between
celestial and terrestrial phenomena; however, he opposed the natal chart and
consulting astrology for predictions. He declared astrology to be filled with
superstition in his De Augmentis Scientiarum.
The
list of great minds continues. Shakespeare, an astrologer in addition to being
a playwright, depicted his characters using astrology correctly. William Lilly,
born in 1602, and Nicholas Culpepper, born in the early 1600’s, were physicians
who used medical astrology.
Though modern
astronomers seek to ignore the fact, Copernicus, Kepler (the “founder of modern
astronomy and astrology”), and Galileo were all astrologers.
Galileo’s
experience offers an excellent example of how the Church hierarchy has
controlled the information available to the laity. Born in 1564, a great
inventor, experimental philosopher, and astrologer, Galileo invented the
telescope. As a result of the telescope, new scientific discoveries were made.
Galileo attempted to reconcile these scientific discoveries with the Christian
faith in a series of articles: “Letters of Sunspots,” “Letter to Castelli,” and
“Letter to the Grand Duchess Christina.” His work was to no avail. In 1615, a
group of eleven theologians pronounced Galileo’s belief in heliocentric
theories absurd, heretical, and contrary to the Scriptures. In 1633, a papal
court sentenced Galileo to prison. Galileo recanted belief in the Copernican
theory that the Earth moves around the Sun and was placed under house arrest in
the custody of a friend.
Born
in 1596, Descartes believed it important to record the positions of the planets
at the moment of birth because immediately after birth, the brain tissues set
themselves and conserve throughout life the first impressions they received.During
the four hundred years since Descartes, the empirically based scientific
community has sought to deny the validity of astrology. However, it has been
unable to prove any falsehoods in astrological beliefs. Instead, an increasing
number of scientists are actually studying the impact of the stars and planets
upon humanity. They are even willing to speak out for astrology.42 In fact,
scientific evidence now demonstrates that astrology works. World
renown psychiatrist Carl Jung believed that “synchronicity” explains how
astrology works. Planets do not cause certain events. Instead, they are symbols
of cosmic forces. The patterns they form synchronize with events on our planet
Earth. In later life, Jung used the natal chart as a tool for working with his
patients. Additional
examples of scientists investigating and verifying cosmic influences are
available. RCA has determined that the positions of planets affect radio
disturbances. Others have verified that planetary positions influence the
occurrence of earthquakes; recorded the influence of particular planetary
relationships upon incidences of road accidents; shown that the position of
planets alters the biological clocks of humans, animals, and plants; and
verified that the phases of the Moon influences human behavior.
That is quite a list of men
whose minds changed the course of human history. Add to that list Adam, Enoch,
Noah, Abraham, Moses, Elijah, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Daniel, David, Yahusha,
Sha’ul, and John the revelator; and that list becomes a who’s who’s list of the
most amazing men who ever lived… all astrologers!
When you step outside of
tradition and religion and seek Yahuah through His Word and His creation, you
come to a very humbling reality: The Zodiac is the Original Revelation from
Yahuah to all mankind.
Astrology was the foundation
of prophecy used by all His prophets. The Zodiac was used to witness the Gospel
to Abraham, to King David, and many others. Astrology is the foundation of
modern day astronomy, medicine, and many other advances humanity now takes for
granted. There was a time when Yahuah
was the source behind seeking out the stars and it was called Prophecy/Astrology.
Now, Yahuah is outright denied existence, and it is called Astronomy. As
science advances, astronomers are coming to the same conclusion, that the stars
have an influence on the events here on Earth and the cosmos is a product of
intelligent design. I mentioned Quantum Physics and how at that level it is
proven His creation is supernaturally “linked together”, the same conclusions
are being drawn at the macro level of science… astronomy. There is no explanation for
what holds galaxies together, so man had to make up a word for the “force” that
gives structure to the stars… we call it “dark matter’. There is no explanation
for why the Universe does not collapse under the immense gravitational effects
of this “dark matter”, because instead of collapsing in on itself under the
pressure, the Universe is actually expanding. A total contradiction of known
“laws of physics”. It is expanding at the “perfect rate” to allow for the
existence of life. So what do we do, we make up a name for that force too, we
call it “dark energy”. We call these things “dark” because WE are in the dark
as to what these things are! There is something out there holding this Universe
together in perfect harmony. That same “something” holding together quantum
particles, and there is communication in this creation that we cannot and do
not understand. So before we write off Astrology, maybe we should instead just
admit we are ignorant of the matter.
The answer to our
question “does the Bible forbid the use of The Zodiac?” The answer is a
resounding “No!” It forbids the MISUSE of it.
Finally, in the waning
moments of this Age, 1,500 years into this 2000-year Age, humanity had fallen
so far from Yahuah that the false prophet Pope outlawed the Original Revelation
and hid it from our sight! Just as he did The Law, The Sabbath, the Holy Days,
etc. Only now is Yahuah moving again to restore this vital message among His
chosen few. We have fallen so far from
Yahuah at this point that we actually think His Revelation in the Stars is
“evil” and feel ‘convicted’ to even say the word “Zodiac”! We perceive it as
‘pagan’ when the word itself comes from a Hebrew origin “zodi” meaning “the way”.
Yahusha came to show us “the
Way” by living out the revelation of him in the stars and seeing to it that
Yahuah’s will be done on Earth as it is written in the stars in the Heavenly
Scroll.
Matthew
6:10
Your kingdom
come, your will be done, on earth as it is in ‘heaven’ (written in the Heavenly Scroll).
We are again in need of a
Divine Correction. Twisting the Zodiac into a lie, Hellenizing words such as ‘heaven’
to hide The Zodiac, abolishing everything Holy to Yahuah, the enemy has turned
mankind against the Zodiac! Against the Heavenly Scroll! Against the very
foundation from which prophecy is driven. No wonder there are no real
prophets on this Earth in these last days! This act to abolish the Heavenly
Scroll was one of the last and greatest abominations of the Whore of Babylon,
the Christian Church. Add that to all the other abominations of the “one who
holds a cup FULL of abomination” and the act of totally abolishing the true
word of Yahuah was complete.
Revelation 17:4 - The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet,
and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup
in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries
Let’s now take a journey back
to the beginning of this Age, just after the last Divine Correction. We find the
Zodiac the centerpiece of the faith as they knew it was speaking of The Plan of
Salvation.
When we look back into
the history of the faith, Judaism and Christianity you see the Zodiac is by far
the most prevalent foundation glorified in floor mosaics, ceiling murals, paintings,
and throughout scripture. That is because its author IS Yahuah, and it contains
the most fundamental of all revelations.
