Isaiah
40:26
Lift up your
eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the
starry host (constellations) one by one (there are exactly 12 major constellations in every culture)
and calls forth (in order) each of them by name
(to proclaim a message Psalm 19). Because of
his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.
The true children of Yahuah
have ALWAYS been "Nazarenes!". Nazarene means "those who follow
the Branch" and that term "Branch" came from The Heavenly
Scroll.
Virgo
A virgin will
give birth to a beautiful glorious and righteous branch.
This is what Isaiah was
prophesying when he said "Yahuah will give you a SIGN (human women are
not for 'signs', the STARS ARE Genesis 1:14) Behold (in the stars)
a young maiden shall give birth to king/son" which was also The Sign of
the Son of Man in the sky, when Jupiter the King Planet is in Virgo with the
Sun. We do not understand this and it is taught that Isaiah was speaking of
Miriam and we force her to be a "virgin" when that is not what Isaiah
said (he said young maiden) and Isaiah was not talking about Miriam. He
was proclaiming the Plan of Salvation written by the hand of The Creator into
the fabric of creation on Day 4.
This is also what Isaiah was
prophesying in Isaiah:
Isaiah 9:6-7
"For to us a child is born (VIRGO), to
us a son (of man) is given (ORION), and the government shall be on his
shoulders (TAURUS) and he will be called
Wonderful Counselor (AQUARIUS), (the perfect image of) Mighty God (CAPRICORNUS), (fore)
Father of Everlasting (life) (CAPRICORNUS), and Prince of Peace (CANCER)." There will be no end to the
increase of His government or of peace, on the Throne of David and over His
Kingdom, to establish it (SAGITTARIUS) and
to uphold it with justice and righteousness from then on and forevermore (LEO).
Then all throughout The
Heavenly Scroll, he is called a "seed" as in the seed that produces
the Branch. The prophets read the Scroll and that is where they got the term
"the Branch". This "seed" or "Branch" is, as
Sha'ul declared to the Galatians, portrayed as crucified in the stars since the
creation of the world. Below is the message that cries out daily (Psalm
19) to all the world that Sha'ul declared "humanity is without
excuse" for not accepting Yahusha as the Messiah... and chastised the
Romans for twisting it into Sun Worship!
VIRGO: A virgin will give birth to a beautiful glorious and
righteous branch. The seed of the woman will be a man of humiliation to rise to
be the desire of nations and will become exalted first as shepherd then as
harvester. LIBRA: The scales demand a price to be paid of this
seed, a cross to endure; the victim will be slain and purchase a crown. SCORPIO:
There is a conflict between the seed and the serpent leading to a struggle with
the enemy, the enemy is vanquished. SAGITTARIUS: The
double-natured seed (servant/king) triumphs as a warrior and pleases the
heavens, builds fires of punishment, casts down the dragon. CAPRICORNUS:
Eternal life comes from his death, he's the Arrow of God, he is pierced, yet
springs up again in abundant life. AQUARIUS: He pours out “living
water” from on high, humanity drinks of the heavenly river and the faithful
live again, he is the deliverer of the good news (Gospel), Carrying the Cross
over the earth. PISCES: The Redeemer's people multiplied,
supported and led by the Lamb, The Bride is exposed on earth, the Bridegroom is
exalted. ARIES: The Lamb is found worthy, the Bride is made
ready, Satan is bound, the strong man triumphs. TAURUS: The
conquering Ruler comes, the sublime vanquisher, to execute the great judgment,
he is the ruling Shepherd King. GEMINI: The Marriage of the Lamb,
the enemy is trodden down, the Prince comes in great Glory. CANCER:
The great Bride, the two Houses of Judah and Israel are united, they are
brought safely into the kingdom. LEO: The Lion King is aroused
for rending, the Serpent flees, the Bowl of Wrath is upon him, his Carcass is
devoured. The Lion of the tribe of Judah rules as King.
We see in this message... The
Spring and Fall Feasts foretold, the Suffering Servant revealed who must die to
pay the dowry for his Bride, the Bride revealed, the wedding take place, the
"strongman/messiah" defeat the dragon and reign as Conquering King.
The Heavenly Scroll is literally the foundation of the Torah/Prophets/Holy
Days/Messiah. This is why Sha'ul declares The Heavenly Scroll is the
"source of our faith" pointing to Abraham witnessing the stars and
quoting David in Psalm 19 declaring the meaning of the Zodiac in
great detail.
We are going to show next,
that Sha'ul said that Abraham was called "the father of faith"
because he was the first not to fall for the corrupted version of Sun Worship,
and even had so much faith in The Heavenly Scroll (and knew it was speaking
of his own seed), that, thinking it was speaking of Isaac, marched Isaac
atop Mt. Mariah to "fulfill the Scroll" which says his seed must die,
and eternal life springs from his death:
CAPRICORNUS
Eternal life
comes from his death, he's the Arrow of God, he is pierced, yet springs up
again in abundant life.
So Abraham tried to sacrifice
Isaac trying to fulfill The Heavenly Scroll himself! Much like Abraham tried to
fulfill the promise of Yahuah that Sarah would bear him a son (with Hagar).
Abraham was quite "motivated" and maybe a little impatient.... Yahuah
stopped that sacrifice because the "seed" was not Isaac. That event
was reckoned to Abraham as tremendous faith that he would offer his own
"promised one" to Yahuah believing that Yahuah could and would raise
Isaac as stated in the Scroll! So those who "have the faith of
Abraham" i.e. believe in The Heavenly Scroll are his descendants! Sha'ul explains that faith in
The Heavenly Scroll is "the faith of Abraham" that is why ALL true
Nazarenes (which means followers of the Branch, foretold in The Heavenly
Scroll) have the foundation of The Heavenly Scroll. Abraham was the first
"Nazarene"...
Romans
10
17 Consequently,
faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word
about the Messiah (what "word" about Yahusha
is heard throughout the world?). 18 But I ask: Did they not hear? Of
course they did: “Their (constellations) voice
has gone out into all the earth, their words (concerning
Yahusha) to the ends of the world.” (Sha’ul
quotes Psalms 19)
Sha'ul explains that Yahuah
witnessed the coming Messiah using The Heavenly Scroll to Abraham and it was in
that way that "Abraham saw Yahusha's day and rejoiced". This is what
Yahusha was talking about, when the Jews twisted his words to imply that
Yahusha saw Abraham. That is NOT what Yahusha said, he said Abraham saw his day
Gen 15:5. Yahusha said "before Abraham was created, I am
prophesied to come in The Heavenly Scroll"! The Jews had abandoned The
Heavenly Scroll and had no clue what Yahusha was saying... (just like
humanity today).
John 8
56 Your father
Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day (Genesis 15:5); he saw it (written
in the stars) and was glad." 57 "You are not yet fifty years
old," the Jews said to him, "and you have seen Abraham! (that is NOT what he said!)" 58 "I tell you
the truth," Yahusha answered, "before Abraham was born, I am (prophesied to come in the stars as he explained Genesis
15:5)!" 59 At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but
Yahusha hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds.
Genesis
15
5 And Yahuah
brought Abraham forth abroad (outside), and
said, Look now toward (the) heaven(ly Scroll), and (see if you
can) tell (what) the stars (proclaim day after day, night after night Psalm 19),
if thou be able to (discern the) number (and
order of) them (the Starry Hosts i.e. constellations;
there are 12 in every culture in human history): and he said unto him,
So shall thy seed be.
This is the same point Sha'ul
was making...
Galatians
3:8
8 Scripture (the eternal word written in The Heavenly Scroll Psalms
119:89) foresaw that Yahuah would justify the Gentiles by faith, and
(THE STARS) announced the gospel in advance to
Abraham (Gen. 15:5): “All nations will
be blessed through you.”
You see, Yahuah authored The
Heavenly Scroll, named all the stars and gave them their meaning, gathered them
together into "starry hosts" (constellations host stars) gave
the constellations "meaning" and He SUMMONS THEM TOGETHER to proclaim
The Plan of Salvation!
Isaiah
48
13 My right
hand has spanned (authored) the heaven(ly Scroll Psalm 19); when I summon them
together (i.e. the stars and constellations conspire
together to hold a secret a message Enoch 9:6), they will
minister together (to proclaim the Messiah/Plan of
Salvation Psalm 19). 14 All of you, gather yourselves
together and hear (what the stars proclaim day after
day, night after night Psalm 19)! Who among them has
foretold these things (understood The Heavenly Scroll)?
Yahuah has loved him (spoken of in The Heavenly
Scroll; Yahusha); He will do His pleasure on Babylon, and His arm will
be on the Chaldeans. 15 I, even I, have spoken; yes, I have called him (Yahusha Luke 4:18). I have brought him
(forth as The Branch as My Eternal High Priest see
Zechariah Chapter 3), and his way (example of
Mikveh, Circumcision, and Offering) will succeed (in producing perfection and resurrection, called The Way).
Humanity has been
"had" by tradition and religion. Lied to generation to generation,
the Lying Pen of the Scribes have altered the meaning of the text, The
Scriptures interpreted by unspiritual minds, outside of the context of The Plan
of Salvation written in The Heavenly Scroll. I am going to show everyone what
"tradition and religion" does not want you to "see" and
"understand". I am going to show us how to have "eyes to see The
Heavenly Scroll" and "ears to hear what the stars proclaim".
Sha’ul the Apostle asks of
humanity below “did they not hear? Of course, they did, he exclaims!” and then
Sha’ul quotes David in Psalms 19 that declares the heavens are
pouring forth speech, day after day, to all mankind as David describes the
Zodiac in great detail.
‘Hearing’ and ‘voice’ are
used anthropomorphically as physical to spiritual parallels by Sha’ul as he
clearly teaches that the source of “faith” comes from the message proclaimed
in the stars at creation. The very means by which Yahuah witnessed the
Gospel to Adam, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, and all the prophets. He used the
Heavenly Scroll.
Romans
10
17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard
through the word about the Messiah (what
"word" about Yahusha is heard throughout the world?). 18 But I
ask: Did they not hear? Of course they did: “Their (constellations)
voice has gone out into all the earth, their words (concerning
Yahusha) to the ends of the world.” (Sha’ul quotes
Psalms 19)
The “message that is
heard through the word about the Messiah”, Sha’ul says is… the Zodiac,
the ‘Heavenly Scroll’; the Original Revelation to all mankind, the first and
most complete Gospel of Yahusha the Messiah! After asking the question “did
they not hear” the message of The Gospel, Paul literally quotes from Psalm
19, the most eloquent description of the Zodiac and its message I have
ever read...it is a detailed account of the Zodiac proclaiming The Gospel
Message to all mankind.
Yahuah witnessed the Gospel
of Yahusha in advance (of Yahusha being created to fulfill it) to
Abraham, and Abraham “saw Yahusha’s Day” written in the stars!
John 8
56 Your father Abraham was overjoyed to see My day. He saw it (written in the
stars Genesis 1:15) and was glad.” 57 Then the Jews said to Him, “You
are not yet fifty years old, and You have seen Abraham?”
Notice that Yahusha did NOT
say that he saw Abraham, he said Abraham saw his life story revealed in The
Heavenly Scroll. Even today false teachers abound who preach incarnation saying
that Yahusha “saw Abraham” and that is NOT what is said in this
Scripture! Yahusha is “before Abraham” in preeminence, as Yahuah had given
Yahusha “Glory” with Him at creation by writing his life in The Heavenly Scroll
foretelling that He would glorify Yahusha through resurrection and crowning him
King.
Genesis
15
5 And he
brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven (the Zodiac), and (see if you
can) tell (what) the stars (proclaim), if thou be able to number them (read them in order, there are 12): and he said unto
him, So shall thy seed (Yahusha) be (they tell the story of his life).
Sha’ul understood this and
this was the foundation of what Sha’ul told the Galatians! In Galatians Chapter
3, Sha’ul refers to Gen. 15:5 and explains that is how
Abraham was considered the “father of our faith”. Abraham understood the
message of The Heavenly Scroll, then tried to fulfill it by killing Isaac (because
the “strong man” is foretold to die and eternal life springs from his death in
The Heavenly scroll) thinking Isaac was “the seed” that The Heavenly Scroll
was speaking of! The Heavenly Scroll declares this “seed” must die and be
resurrected to earn the right to rule as “The Lion of the Tribe of Judah”.
Rav Sha’ul the Apostle made a
significant statement in Galatians 3:8:
Galatians
3:8
8 Scripture
foresaw that Yahuah would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the
gospel in advance (of Yahusha being created) to
Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.”
Galatians
3:16
The promises
were spoken to Abraham and to his seed (Genesis 1:15).
Scripture does not say "and to seeds," meaning many people, but
"and to your seed," meaning one person, who is Yahusha the Messiah (the stars were speaking of Yahusha!).
Again in Galatians 3, Sha’ul
declares that “before their very eyes Yahusha the Messiah was portrayed
as crucified”. What does that mean?
The members of the church in
Galatia (who once were pagans) were not present at the crucifixion some
50 years earlier. So, in what way was the messiah “portrayed as crucified
before their very eyes?” It was written in the stars! The same
way it was preached to Abraham. We see Sha’ul make the point that “the seed”
proclaimed in “the heavens” to Abraham was in fact Yahusha the Messiah not
Isaac (so Abraham had misunderstood it that is why the Angel of Yahuah
stopped that sacrifice). The same Messiah was “portrayed as
crucified/A Lamb that was slaughtered before the world was” right
before the very eyes of the Galatians as well… in The Zodiac as I will prove:
Galatians 3
3 You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your
very eyes (in the stars)
Yahusha the Messiah was clearly portrayed as crucified (A lamb that was
slaughtered before the foundation of the world).
Sha’ul then goes on to point
the Galatians back to Abraham making the point that “the seed” or The Messiah
was prophesied by the stars of heaven…
Galatians
3
5 So again I
ask, does Yahuah give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works
of the law (alone James 2:14-26),
or by your believing what you heard (the stars
proclaim day after day Palms 19)? 6 So also Abraham
“believed Yahuah (when he read The Heavenly Scroll Genesis
15:5), and it was credited to him as righteousness (when he tried to fulfill the message in the stars by
sacrificing Isaac).” 7 Understand, then, that those who have faith (in the Plan of Salvation proclaimed in the stars) are
children of Abraham. 8 Scripture (The Heavenly Scroll,
the 'word' eternally preserved in the stars Psalms 199:89)
foresaw that Yahuah would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the
gospel in advance to Abraham (through the stars Genesis
15:5): “All nations will be blessed through you.” 9 So those who
rely on faith (in The Heavenly Scroll) are
blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith (in the
message he witnessed in The Heavenly Scroll)…16 The promises (of eternal life and a mediator) were spoken to
Abraham (via The Heavenly Scroll Genesis 15:5)
and to his seed. Scripture does not say “and to seeds,” meaning many people,
but “and to your seed,” meaning one person, who is the Messiah (is what the Stars proclaimed to Abraham, all the prophets,
the Galatians, the Romans, and you and I today… Psalms 19!).
by Barry Setterfield
“One important fact emerges here.
Many star and constellation names in a variety of languages around the world
have a similar meaning. For example, one constellation was known as Virgo to
the Romans, Bethulah to the Hebrews, Parthenos to the Greeks, and Kanya to the
Indians, but all mean "VIRGIN". Linguistically, this strongly implies
there was a common origin for the names. It is accepted theory that the three
main linguistic branches from which most languages diverged had a common origin
in Anatolia (see Gamkrelidze and Ivanov in Scientific American March
1990, or Colin Renfrew in Scientific American October 1989).
Scripturally, this division of languages occurred at Babel, which was near
Anatolia. This would imply an origin of star and constellation names prior to
the Babel event which suggests that they may have been known as far back as
Noah and the Flood. Linguistically, that is as far back as we can go. However,
the Isaiah 40:26 statement takes us right back to the Creation and Adam.
Isaiah
40:26
Lift up your
eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the
starry host one by one and calls forth each of them by name. Because of his
great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.
In the mid to late 19th century,
star names became fixed by astronomical convention. The name chosen for a given
star was sometimes the Latin, or Hebrew, or Chaldean, or Arabic version of the
original name. As a result of this process, some names have been lost. However,
those who studied this topic in detail, namely Frances Rolleston, Joseph A.
Seiss, and E. W. Bullinger wrote at a time when the star names in other
languages were still extant. Some important information on these matters can
also be found in Jamieson's Celestial Atlas of 1822 which appeared well before
astronomical convention fixed the names.
Rolleston's work of 1862
comprised 221 pages of small typeface in four parts. The author died just prior
to the completion of Part 4. In Part 2 there is an extensive study of star
names in a variety of languages, and their primitive roots. Most give a
concordant testimony. However, as noted by a number of recent commentators on
the topic, modern Arabic interpretations are often discordant with the overall
picture that emerges. However, Rolleston did point out the source of this
problem on page 5 of Part 1. The difficulty arises because modern Arabic use of
the basic roots of words gives meanings that are divergent from ancient Arabic.
By reference to the ancient Arabic use of roots, corroboration of the story
given by the other star names is usually obtained.”
“The time or season of the year
used to be known by the constellations passing overhead or the one that the Sun
was in. In Job 38:32 Yahuah said to His upright servant "Can you bring
forth Mazzaroth (the 12 signs) in their season?" These 12 signs form the path
that the Sun appears to take in the heavens, namely the Zodiac. The word
ZODIAC comes from the Greek word ZOAD meaning "a way, a step, a circuit, a
circle". In Chaldean the word has similar associated meanings. Psalm
19:6 actually uses the Hebrew equivalent of this word where it states that
"(the Sun) goes from one end of heaven, and his CIRCUIT (or path i.e.
Zodiac) is unto the other end of it:"
There is evidence that the
constellation patterns making up the Zodiac, and indeed the rest of the night
sky, were formed and named by Yahuah. In Job 26:13 we find the statement
"By His Spirit He has garnished and decorated the heavens; His hand has
formed the FLEEING SERPENT." Note that in Hebrew poetic style the heavens
and the fleeing serpent are connected. So we ask "Is there a fleeing
serpent in the heavens?" The answer is YES! The constellation of HYDRA. It
is a particularly apt constellation to remark upon as it is the longest
constellation in the sky. It takes 7 hours to pass overhead. This comment in Job
implies that the Spirit of Yahuah Himself formed and decorated the heavens with
the constellation patterns, and, as shown above, He gave them their names as
well. Obviously, Abraham was familiar with the constellation patterns and star
names because Yahuah used the message therein to instruct him. What is this
message?”
“In Romans 10, Rabbi Sha’ul gives
us some key verses to help with this. Verse 15 states "and how shall they
preach except they be sent? As it is written 'How beautiful are the feet of
them that preach the GOSPEL OF PEACE, and bring GLAD TIDINGS of good
things'." So the bringing of the GOOD NEWS, the GOSPEL OF PEACE is what
Sha’ul is talking about here in this context. In verse 18, Sha’ul then goes on
to say: "But have they (the heathen) not heard? YES! Truly they have
heard! For 'their sound went into all the earth and their words unto the ends
of the world'." What a fascinating statement! Sha’ul says here that the
heathen have heard the Gospel of Peace, because "THEIR sound went into all
the earth and THEIR words unto the ends of the world." The question is who
are the "THEY" that are doing the preaching? Well, if you have a
marginal reference, you find that Sha’ul is quoting directly from Psalm 19:4
where the stars are being spoken of. Indeed, Psalm 19:3 gives the additional
information that "there is no speech or language where (the stars) voice
is not heard." Therefore, the "THEY" in Psalm 19 and Romans
10:18 are the stars in the heavens. As a consequence, it can only be concluded
that it is the stars that are preaching the Gospel - in a particular way by
their names and the arrangement of the constellation patterns.
“The next point to note comes
from Psalm 19:4-6. Dr. D. E. Spencer paraphrases verse 4 as "In amongst
these starry witnesses, Yahuah has established a dwelling place for the
Sun." The next verse goes on to describe the SUN as the Heavenly
Bridegroom, who comes forth to run his race and returns to his place of origin.
But in the Bible, John the baptizer speaks of the Messiah as coming down from
heaven, and calls Him the "Bridegroom" (John 3:25-31). The beloved
disciple John also refers to the relationship of the Messiah to His Called Out
Ones (saints) as that of a heavenly bridegroom with an earthly bride, while
Rabbi Sha’ul echoes the idea in Ephesians 5.
It is therefore apparent from Psalm 19 and the other passages that the Sun
represents Yahusha, the heavenly Bridegroom.
This idea is accentuated by the
prophet Malachi. He calls Israel's Messiah the SUN of Righteousness who will
blaze forth for the sake of His people in the Last Day (Malachi 4:2). So the
Sun represents the Messiah, the light of the world (John 8:12), who came from
heaven, ran His race on earth, and returned to Heaven. The race that the Sun
runs is given by the Zodiac constellations or star patterns, so all the
strong-man figures along the Zodiac represent the Messiah, the SUN of
Righteousness, and the work He was to do. Note further that Psalm 19 is in two
parts: In Part 1 we have the message of the stars - In Part 2 we have the
message of Yahuah’s word, the Bible being discussed. One is set against the
other in such a way that David, who wrote this Psalm about 1000 BC, is implying
that the message in the stars and the message in the Scriptures are one
and the same.”
“The story told by the strong man
figures of the sky has been corrupted by Greek and Roman mythology. This was
recognized by Jamieson in his Celestial Atlas published in 1822. On page 40 he
states that "The Lion does not seem to have been placed among the zodiacal
symbols because Hercules was fabled to have slain the Nemean Lion. It would seem,
to the contrary, that Hercules, who represented the Sun, was said to have slain
the Nemean Lion, because Leo was ALREADY a zodiacal sign." Notice here
that this nineteenth century astronomer actually states that the Sun (the light
of the world) is symbolized by the strong man Hercules. This is in agreement
with the Biblical interpretation which identifies the strong man who runs his
race along the path of the Sun as Messiah Yahusha the victor.
Another point is also pertinent.
The Greeks thought of each of these "strong man" figures as being a
different deity. In the Biblical interpretation they represent different works
of the same person, namely Messiah Yahusha. Even though it will pre-empt the
discussion later, an example may be appropriate. To the Greeks, the Zodiac sign
of Gemini the Twins represented Apollo and Hercules, the twin sons of Zeus, the
chief deity. The Roman equivalent was Castor and Pollux which star names are
retained today. It is shown later that these two pictures are of the same anointed
one… the Messiah Yahusha in His twin role as the Son of Yahuah and also the Son
of Man.”
“Interestingly enough, the
skeptic Volney is recorded by Rolleston as saying that "Everywhere in
antiquity is the existence of the tradition of the expected conqueror of the
serpent, a divine person, born of a woman, who was to come." Rolleston
noted that Volney "sees this tradition reflected in the constellations,
but why it should be there he does not say."(Part 1 page 19). A very
similar statement is made by Depuis in L'Origine des Cultes who admits that
this tradition was prevalent in all nations. Greek, Roman and other pagan
mythologies have been built around this message from the stars and as a result must
be considered as a perversion of the original. Nevertheless as Dr. D. E.
Spencer concluded "Pagan mythology still retains sufficient of the truth
for you to recognize it." (Word Key "Mazzaroth," broadcast over
radio HCJB 1972).
Rolleston (Part 1 p.23)
elaborates on this: "Should the tradition of the Divine yet woman-born
Conqueror of the serpent, crushing His foe, but suffering from its venom, be
met with among all nations, it is only what might have been anticipated among
the descendants of one common father. From the Grecian Hercules, half human and
half divine, subduing the hydra and dying from its poison; from the Indian
incarnation of the Divinity, the virgin-born Krishna, slaying a serpent and
wounded by it in the heel; to the serpent-worship of Mexico, and that of the
woman-born and unfathered deity Mexitli; this image is everywhere present,
pointing to one origin of the tradition and the race."
Dr. Spencer gave a further
example of interest. In mythology "Zeus, the supreme deity of the Greeks
reigned on Mount Olympus 'in the midst' of the twelve lesser gods of the
Greeks." He then points to the pre-existent truth that has been corrupted
by this mythology and makes an important observation. "Is it not more than
chance that just as the blazing fire of the Sun dwells in the midst of the
twelve constellations of Mazzaroth, so the blazing pillar of fire was the
dwelling place of Yahuah in the midst of the twelve tribes of Israel?
Furthermore, can it be mere chance that Messiah Yahusha, 'the Light of the
world', is the One who dwelt in a tabernacle of flesh in the midst of the
twelve disciples?" (The Gospel in the Stars, pp. 20, 53).”
“As noted at the beginning,
Galatians 3:8 says that Yahuah preached the Gospel unto Abraham. It is
important that we know when He did this as the stars were mentioned by Yahuah
to Abraham on two distinct occasions, once in Genesis 15, then again in Genesis
22. We must not confuse these two separate incidents. Galatians 3:6 gives us
the answer to this question. Rabbi Sha’ul states that it was on the occasion
when "Abraham believed Yahuah and it was counted to him for
righteousness." Importantly as we search both Genesis passages, it becomes
apparent that this quote comes directly from Genesis 15:6. The context was
given by Genesis 15:5. Abraham was childless and had no heir. Then Yahuah
"brought him forth abroad, and said, 'Look now towards heaven, and TELL
the stars if you be able to list them'; and He said unto him, 'So shall your
seed be'."
Several important points emerge
from this interview that Abraham had with the Almighty. In the first place, the
word "TELL" is the same census-taking word as used in Psalm 147:4 so
the star names are in view here. The second point is vital. The Almighty made a
key comment when Abraham had finished listing off the star names. He said:
"So shall your seed be." Does this mean that Abraham was to have many
children? We have Rabbi Sha’ul's exegesis of the original Hebrew on this. In
Galatians 3:16, Sha’ul says: "Now to Abraham and his seed were the
promises made. He said not, And to seeds (plural) as of many; but as of one,
'And to your seed (singular) WHICH IS THE MESSIAH!"
Here is an amazing statement!
Abraham lists the star names in sequence from constellation to constellation
telling the story of the stars from their names, and Yahuah says to him
"So will your seed, the Messiah, be." Here was the promise to Abraham
that the Messiah would come from his lineage. Furthermore, the Gospel was
obviously associated with these star names as Galatians 3:8 states that Yahuah
preached the Gospel to Abraham on that occasion - a Gospel associated with the
coming of the Messiah, Yahusha.
It is important not to confuse
this incident in Abraham's life with a later one. On the second occasion in
Genesis 22:17, Abraham was promised seed like "the stars of heaven and the
sand of the sea shore for multitude." This is a different interview with
Yahuah when the Patriarch received a different promise. According to Sha’ul in
Galatians 3, it was specifically on the first occasion in Genesis 15 that
Messiah was promised from Abraham's lineage and Abraham believed Yahuah.
Finally note that Yahuah preached the Gospel of Christ to Abraham by this
method, and by faith Abraham accepted the message. The stars must therefore be
preaching the same message in every language around the world, because Psalm 19
states that there is no speech or language where their voice is not heard.”
“Well, if there is a message
in the stars, where does the story begin since the Zodiac is a circle. An
important clue is obtained from the Sphinx in Egypt. The word SPHINX comes from
the Greek word SPHIGGO which means to "bind closely together". The
significance of this meaning becomes apparent when ancient Egyptian Zodiacs are
inspected. In those zodiacs such as one in the tombs of the kings at Karnak,
the sphinx curiously linked the 12 signs together. Its woman-like face gazed
upon the sign of Virgo, while its lion-like body and tail pointed to Leo. Dr
Spencer notes that several other places in the Near East have similar
inscriptions. Dr Spencer writes: "The sphinx is the key symbol which shows
where the story in the stars begins and ends. It begins with Virgo the Virgin
and the first coming of Yahusha as Messiah; and closes with Leo the Lion,
marking the Return of Messiah as the King of Glory. It begins with the story of
His coming in humility and seeming defeat, and climaxes with the story of His
coming again in power and overwhelming victory."
