The Zodiac (from Hebrew word
‘zodi’ meaning ‘the way’) was given to Enoch, and passed down through the Ages:
·
Yahuah proclaimed He created the Mazzaroth/Zodiac
to Job
·
Yahuah used it to proclaim the
Gospel to Abraham who saw “Yahusha’s day” viewing the Zodiac
·
The 12 tribes of Israel each had
an associated Zodiac Sign
·
Every human Age/Epoch is defined
by it, and properly uses its symbolism to represent the various Ages
·
The Sabbath Covenant is accurately
foretold by the Ages in the Zodiac “clock”
·
The timing of the first and second
advents of the Messiah are synchronized in both directions in the Zodiac
“clock”
·
The individual lifespan of mankind
is established by the Zodiac “clock”
·
The substitute of a Ram and the
yearly sacrifice of a Lamb are prophesied within it
·
The two comings of the “suffering
servant” and the “conquering king” are proclaimed by it
·
King David defined it and
explained its true meaning
·
The wedding portrait of the
Bridegroom and Bride is foretold by the Zodiac
·
Ezekiel used it as a source of
prophecy, “sees it” and describes it in great detail
·
Daniel was a famous and devout
Astrologer and used it as a means of prophecy, preserved it, and passed it down
through the Chaldean Astrologers (Daniel 5:11)
·
the Chaldean Astrologers known as
very wise men used it to locate the young Messiah (no one else found him) and
most probably passed its secrets down to Yahusha and John the Baptist
·
The Nazarenes preserved it and its
meaning
·
Yahusha identifies himself as the
fulfillment of it
·
Sha’ul chastises t4e Galatians for
not understanding it
·
Yahuah gave it as a gift to all
mankind, Sha’ul confirms humanity is without excuse because of it
·
John, like Ezekiel and Daniel,
prophecy by it and describe it in great detail in the book of Revelation!
·
It is the Heavenly Scroll, and
only the one who fulfills it is worthy to “read it” and break the seals over it
The reality is that the
Heavenly Scroll was the original revelation to all mankind and the rest of
scriptures are established in its foundation! The Book of Revelation literally
describes the Zodiac and its fulfillment with Leo conquering the dragon and the
rule of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. Did it end there? Or is there evidence
that the Zodiac continued to be the very foundation of the early Nazarene,
Jewish, and Christian faiths?
In fact, the Zodiac was
intimately related to Jewish worship for centuries to come and was the
foundation of early Christianity! However, over time as this Age progresses, we
fell further and further away from the Creator until we had fallen so far we
literally outlawed His original revelation to mankind found written in the
stars! It was gradual but complete as we replaced Yahuah with pure science. Denying
our roots, turning our back on the truths and hidden mysteries in the heavens;
that are the foundation of modern medicine, astronomy, time keeping, and
understanding the Will of the Creator.
Remains of many Jewish
synagogues dating back to the 1st century CE through the 6th
century CE have been uncovered by archeologist to reveal the Zodiac as a major
function of their religion. Many of them with elaborate mosaics of the
Zodiac well preserved, alongside mosaics of Biblical stories. The 12 lunar
Hebrew months of the year were closely associated with the 12 Zodiac signs and
persevered in Hebrew writing on each corresponding Zodiac sign in these ancient
synagogues. This demonstrates that if we look back in history at the last
Divine Correction, we see the Zodiac and the Divine Clock were well understood
and had a significant role in the places of worship.
Today, however, we are so
arrogant as to believe “these early Jews had succumbed to Greek mythology!” No,
they had come BACK to the truth of Yahuah following the last Divine Correction.
The Zodiac was adopted by the Greeks FROM the Hebrews. It is we who, 2000 years
later, have fallen from the truth of the Creator; not the other way around! The
prevalence of the Zodiac and the prominence of these Zodiac mosaics in the
Synagogues over the first 7 centuries dating all the way back to just before
Yahusha came… speaks to the reality and importance of the message contained in
the Zodiac.
Even the Talmud identified
the 12 constellations of the Zodiac with the 12 months of the Hebrew calendar.
The correspondence of the constellations with their names in Hebrew and the
months is as follows:
1.
Aries - Ṭaleh - Nisan
2.
Taurus - Shor - Iyar
3.
Gemini - Teomim - Sivan
4.
Cancer - Sarṭon - Tammuz
5.
Leo - Ari - Av
6.
Virgo - Betulah - Elul
7.
Libra - Moznayim - Tishrei
8.
Scorpio - 'Aḳrab - Cheshvan
9.
Sagittarius - Ḳasshat - Kislev
10.
Capricorn - Gedi - Tevet
11.
Aquarius - D'li - Shevat
12.
Pisces - Dagim – Adar
We see these signs associated
with Hebrew months on all Jewish Zodiacs in the first 7 centuries AD. The
implication of the Zodiac being so prominently displayed in synagogues going
back to the 1st Century is astounding. Remember, John, Yahusha,
Sha’ul, and all the men in the Renewed Covenant taught in the synagogues.
It is possible some of these Zodiacs floor murals had the honor of the
footprints of the Messiah; as he walked over them to speak to the people! Never
once are they condemned in the New Testament writings or by the Messiah. These
Zodiac mosaics were accepted right alongside mosaics of the Ark of the Covenant,
Abraham sacrificing Isaac, Adam and Eve, and so on. They all were seen as “the
story of salvation” proudly displayed in elaborate floor mosaics that survive
today.
Below is from Harper Collins
Bible Dictionary on the role of the Jewish Synagogue:
http://www.bibleodyssey.org/places/related-articles/first-century-synagogues.aspx
First
Century Synagogues by Chad Spigel
According
to the New Testament Gospels, Jesus often taught in synagogues, one of which
was in Capernaum (Mark 1:21-28), in northern Israel. The book of Acts suggests
that the apostle Sha’ul also taught in synagogues (Acts 17:1-2). But what
exactly were synagogues in the first century C.E.? Were they different from
modern synagogues? The answers to these questions not only illuminate stories
in the New Testament, they also shed light on the early years of an important
Jewish institution.
“Synagogue”
is a Greek word that literally means a gathering of people but also refers to
the place of assembly. Although the origin of the synagogue as a Jewish
institution is unclear, by the first century C.E. they were found in both
Palestine and the Diaspora, where they were used for a variety of communal
needs:
·
as schools (Josephus, Antiquities
16.43),
·
or communal meals (Josephus,
Antiquities 14.214-216),
·
as hostels,
·
as courts of Law (Acts 22:19),
·
as a place to collect and
distribute charity (Matt 6:2),
·
and for political meetings
(Josephus, Life 276-289).
Worship
also took place in first-century synagogues, although this would not develop
into something like modern Jewish synagogue worship until much later. Nonetheless,
reading and interpreting the Torah and Prophets is well attested in first-century
synagogues (Acts 15:21), and although scholars disagree about the extent of
communal prayers, literary sources suggest that Jews prayed in at least some
synagogues at this time (Matt 6:5, Josephus, Life 280-295).
In short, the Synagogue
was the focus and expression of Jewish faith. Without a doubt, the most
prominent feature of these ancient Jewish synagogues was… The Heavenly Scroll
of Enoch’s Zodiac! The Mazzaroth/Zodiac stood out as the foundation for Biblical
stories that accompanied them and the Hebrew calendar (months associated with
them). Given the Synagogue served the function of schools, legal courts, and
politics; the prominent display of the Enoch Zodiac on the floors of these
Jewish institutions speaks to reality that they understood the Zodiac to
have been created by Yahuah, given to all mankind, and containing the Plan of
Salvation from which their entire religion was revealed
Astrology, the Zodiac and its
associated meaning, had played a role in Hebrew history for at least the 2,000
years of the Age of Aries beginning with Yahuah proclaiming the Gospel to
Abraham. As we have seen so far in this book, Yahuah took Abraham outside,
under the canopy of stars, and instructed Abraham to look up and discern the
meaning behind the Zodiac. But if legend and the book of Enoch is true, then
the Zodiac came to mankind through Enoch. Then corrupted through the watchers.
As I have pointed out in this
book, the Zodiac was literally the foundation from which the prophets of Yahuah
made their predictions. They described the Zodiac perfectly, there is no doubt.
The role of the Zodiac continued to play a major role during the current Age of
Pisces at least for 6 maybe 7 Centuries if not all the way up to the 16th
Century before the false prophet (Pope) abolished it. When you research into
“what happened to Astrology” over the past several Centuries, Jewish and
Christian authorities have a very difficult time explaining “why” the Enoch
Zodiac (with all its meaning and implication) was removed from their religious
traditions. Yet, the fact that Astrology/Enoch Zodiac played a key and
integral role in both religions is simply indisputable. To deny the
importance of the Heavenly Scroll (Zodiac), we would have to turn a blind eye
to countless references to the Zodiac in both testaments, declarations made by
Yahuah and Yahusha, all the prophets, and ignore the archeological evidence
that all loudly proclaim… Yahuah is the author!
Rabbi Joel C. Dobin, To
Rule Both Day And Night: Astrology in the Bible, Midrash, & Talmud explains:
“The
basic philosophy of the astrologer is religious, regardless of the
religious direction from which he seeks the truth. The basic philosophical
thrust of astrology derives from the conviction that the human being, God, and
the universe are in some way a unity; that man and universe, if you will, both
swim in the sea of space-time whose substance is God.”
One of the most anointed and
famous of all prophets of Yahuah, Daniel, was an astrologer! Daniel was “Chief
Astrologer” under several kings and empires.
Daniel
5:11
“There is a
man in your kingdom who is endowed with a spirit of the holy gods. In the days
of your father he was found to have enlightenment, understanding, and wisdom
like the wisdom of the gods. Your father, King Nebuchadnezzar, made him chief
of the magicians, enchanters, Chaldeans, and diviners.”
The proper use of astrology
(discerning the Will of Yahuah in ‘heaven’ as to make it so on Earth) is still
practiced today by many Rabbis. Rabbi Joel C. Dobin explains:
“That
all-in-existence is subject to God’s will is an essential beginning for the
astrologer: ‘One Creator, One Creation’ should be the mantra for every
astrologer! For, combining this latest statement with its forerunner—then man,
God, and universe are an essential unity—allows the astrologer to seek in the
Heavens for the evidence of God’s will for mankind, which will help the
individual person as well as the community realize and act on the basic
religious statement: ‘Make Thy will, my will.’”
Rabbi Joel C. Dobin
continues…
“Astrology
revealed to me His order and His beauty, and His place for me in the Divine
balance that links God, man, and universe into One Balanced Process which never
ends in this or on other planes of awareness of life.”
This was the same desire of
Yahusha the Messiah. That there is one Creator, one creation, and that he, and
all the sons are to be one with the Father, and not his will but “thine be
done”. Yahusha’s hope was that
Yahuah’s Will, as laid out and defined by Yahuah at creation and written in the
stars, be done on this Earth.
Matthew
6:10
"your
kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in ‘heaven/shamayim (where the
stars are visible in the sky)"
We see in Psalms 11, King
David proclaim that Yahuah’s throne is in “heaven”. What is David referring to?
We already know in Psalms 19, David proclaimed the meaning of the Zodiac in
great detail.
Psalms
11
4 Yahuah is in
his holy temple; Yahuah’s throne is in heaven (shamayim/Zodiac). His eyes watch; his eyes examine all
people.
We also see Isaiah proclaim:
Isaiah
66:1
This is what
Yahuah says: "Heaven (shamarym/Zodiac) is
my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Where is the house you will build for
me? Where will my resting place be?
We see Isaiah declare the
exact same reality below. Remember “heavens” is actually specifically referring
to the place in the sky where the stars are… i.e. the Zodiac. “Starry
hosts” are the constellations that hosts the stars …
Isaiah
40:26
Lift up your
eyes and look to the heavens (the Zodiac): Who
created all these? He who brings out the starry host (constellations)
one by one and calls forth each (of the constellations)
of them by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of
them is missing (there are exactly 12 constellations
in every culture dating back to the origin of man!).
Again we see David in Psalms
119 declare that Yahuah’s “instructions” endure, they stand secure in heaven
i.e. shamarym/Zodiac. The Mazzaroth/Zodiac is Yahuah’s Original Revelation to
all mankind, laying out His Plan for Man (the timeframe through 2000 year
reverse Ages) and His Plan of Salvation through Yahusha the Messiah (as told by
the 12 signs from Virgo-Leo). Let’s shed the light of “context” on this passage
with Psalm 19:
Psalm
19
1 The heavens
(stars and constellations) declare the glory of
Yahuah; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. 2 Day after day they pour
forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. 3 They have no speech,
they use no words; no sound is heard from them. 4 Yet their voice goes out into
all the earth, their words to the ends of the Age. In the heavens (among the Stars and Constellations) Yahuah has
pitched a tent for the sun (the Zodiac). 5 It
is like a bridegroom (Yahusha) coming out of
his chamber (to wed the Bride, Remnant Israel),
like a champion (Conquering King) rejoicing to
run his course (through the ecliptic). 6 It
rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit (Zodiac
means circuit of circle or path) to the other; nothing is deprived of
its warmth.
Rabbi Joel C. Dobin
summarizes…
“Astrology
helps man to understand God’s will and to put himself in balance with Divine
and universal forces, thus enriching his life and experience.”
The fundamental role played
by the Zodiac throughout the Hebrew journey cannot be denied, and is evident in
mosaics found across the region over several centuries. We simply can no longer
ignore this overwhelming evidence and just “rationalize it away” simply because
it no longer fits into our modern views. We must reclaim what is Yahuah’s
signature over His creation… the Zodiac … and restore the message found in the
Heavenly Scroll.
The photos on the left reveal
the ruins of the Hammath-Tiberias synagogue, used between the 3rd – 8th
centuries. See that the floor of the synagogue was adorned with elaborate
mosaics. The Ark of the Covenant, the Menorah, and other symbols sacred to the
Hebrew religion in the top portion, the middle section containing the Enoch
Zodiac in great detail, and the lower section a memorial to the founder of the
synagogue. The Zodiac playing the most significant role in both size and as the
centerpiece.
We see in this mosaic the Ark
of the Covenant…
We see the Menorah along with
the ‘Lulav and Etrog’ which are essential items for Sukkot, we see a Shofar and
other items of the Hebrew faith:
And then, of course, even
more prominently displayed as the centerpiece… Enoch’s Zodiac in tremendous
detail as the Heavenly Scroll forms the foundation of the synagogue:
This mosaic is one of the
most elaborate with careful detail paid to each sign of the Zodiac. The effort,
time, and craftsmanship to produce such a mosaic is truly impressive. I can
only image how colorful and exotic the sight of this mosaic would have been
over a thousand years ago. It is impressive even today:
In lower Galilee, there was
discovered the ruins of the synagogue at Zippori (Sepphoris). Again, the Enoch
Zodiac was the featured mosaic with the months of the Hebrew Lunar Calendar
assigned to each sign of the Zodiac.
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sepphoris
The
remains of an ancient Tzippori Synagogue have been uncovered in the lower
section of the city. It was built in the late 5th or early 6th century, at a
time when the town's Christian population was increasing and the strength of
the Jewish population was diminishing. Measuring 20.7 meters by 8 meters wide,
it was located at the edge of the town.
The mosaic floor is divided
into seven parts. Near the entrance there is a scene showing the angels
visiting Sarah. The next section shows the binding of Isaac. There is a large
Zodiac with the names of the months written in Hebrew as the centerpiece. The
Messiah sits in the middle, in his sun chariot (Helios to the Greeks).
The last section shows two
lions flanking a wreath, their paws resting on the head of an ox. The most
interesting are the central sections of the mosaic. One shows the
"tamid" sacrifice, the showbread, and the basket of first fruits form
the Temple in Jerusalem. Also shown are a building facade, probably
representing the Temple, incense shovels, shofars, and the seven-branched
menorah from the Temple. Another section shows Aaron dressed in priestly robes
preparing to offer sacrifices of oil, flour, a bull and a lamb.
Mosaic Floor of Synagogue at
Ein Gedi lists all the signs of the Zodiac and identifies their corresponding
months of the Hebrew calendar. Ein Gedi is an oasis located west of the Dead
Sea
On the floor of the synagogue
at Ein Harod, there is a massive Enoch Zodiac mosaic in the Valley Jezreel near
Mt. Gilboa.
Mosaic of Zodiac signs on the
Synagogue Floor at Beit Alpha dating to the Byzantine Period – 6th
Century – located at the foot of the northern slopes of Mount Gilboa. Again the
centerpiece with the Ark of the Covenant in the upper portion and various
pictorials of Biblical characters and stories surrounding and at the bottom
portion.
This synagogue has one of the
best preserved mosaics of the Zodiac:
Rabbi Joel C. Dobin…
“Astrology
was so much part of Jewish life and experience and so well respected in our
tradition and law that the abandonment of Astrology to follow the chimera of
scientific linearality was one of the greatest religious tragedies that ever
befell our people. For in so doing, we abandoned as well the mystical realities
of our faith, our abilities to balance our lives and attain Unity, and we have
created of our synagogues and temples arenas of contention for power and
concern for financial sufficiency…. I write as an astrologer, seeking to turn
all those whose various faiths have seemed to abandon them back to their own
faith.”
As the early church emerged
out of Judaism, we see clear evidence that the Zodiac played a very key role. The
early Popes (like all pagan kings/Queens) claimed the Zodiac as their Divine
Right to Rule. Below we see the Pope enthroned under the banner of The Zodiac:
Not only did the Pope’s reign
by the “authority of The Zodiac”, the image at the center of the Zodiac was
drawn depicting by Jesus H. Christ. Now Christ sits on the throne surrounded by
the four beasts described in Ezekiel’s and John’s visions.
The 4 wheels with a wheel are
maintained. The underlying belief in the Zodiac as being the Original
Revelation to all mankind was maintained going from Judaism to Christianity.
We see what appear to be a
black rim, the Zodiac Signs, Angels, and then the center. Another mural image
found in Catholicism:
Below we see Pope Gregory III
attending a Zodiac lesson among his Bishops. Notice the subject being taught is
the Zodiac as we see Scorpio and Libra.
We find Zodiac murals
adorning ceilings in Catholic structures worldwide.
We see that Pisces became the
symbol of “Christianity” and the Age of Pisces. Meeting places were adorned
with the sign of Pisces…
If Astrology and the Zodiac
was such a major factor in both Judaism and Christianity dating back to the Old
Testament prophets, continuing through the first several centuries in the
Common Era; what happened? Why are we deprived of the esoteric wisdom and
knowledge contained within the very first revelation from Yahuah to humanity?
If the Zodiac was the source
of inspiration used by Yahuah to witness the Gospel to Abraham, convey
prophetic wisdom to Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, John, and many others, what happened
to this Original Revelation? The same thing that happened to the Law of Yahuah,
the Feasts of Yahuah, the Name of Yahuah, and the Name of Yahusha!
Daniel 7:25
He (the
false prophet) shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear
out the saints of the Most High, and shall think to change the times and the
law; and they shall be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time.
The Pope is what happened. It
was by Papal Decree that the Sabbath was done away with and Sunday worship was
established. It was by Papal Decree that Yahuah became a Trinity. It was by
Papal Decree that the Passover was changed to Easter. It was by Papal Decree
that everything holy to Yahuah, all knowledge of the Creator was deemed “Old”
and irrelevant and the original scriptures were labeled the Old Testament. It
was by Papal Decree that the Law was deemed to be “done away with”. And yes,
that same system, the Beastly system prophesied to do all these things, is at
the source once again of yet another abomination… outlawing the Zodiac,
the Heavenly Scroll.
In 1586, Pope Sixtus V
issued papal bull Coeli et terras condemning judicial (mundane) astrology. This
condemnation has deprived humanity (Catholic, Protestants, and all mankind)
from the esoteric wisdom found in astrology to this day. Literally abolishing
The Heavenly Scroll in the same way the Earthly Scroll (The Torah/Prophets)
were abolished by the false prophet!
From this point forward
humanity rushed headlong into a scientific dictatorship that denied the power
and authority of The Creator. It is the age old battle that began with the
“watchers” giving humanity advanced knowledge outside of the context of The
Creator. Daniel Taylor in his article The Scientific Dictatorship
Explained published in the Old Thinker News journal July, 26,
2011 made a very valid observation:
“The
ideological roots of the Scientific Dictatorship can be traced to the works of
Plato some 2,000 years ago. In truth, humanity has been battling the formation
of this tyranny for much of known history.”
As humanity further distanced
itself from the last Divine Correction over the past 2000 years we gradually
moved toward a world defined by science outside of the knowledge of Yahuah. Yahuah
was denied His Glory as Creator and theories such as the “Big Bang” and
“Evolution” replace His creative acts. Humanity has fallen so far from Yahuah
as the Creator, even Yahuah’s Original Revelation to all humanity, written in
the stars as illustrated by the Zodiac has been outlawed by the very
institutions that claim to represent Him!
As I said earlier in this
book “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.”
