Chapter 5 - Establishing Truth and Righteousness

Abraham the Forfather of Astrology

𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞: Biblical "Astrology" is faith in the message contained in The Heavenly Scroll. Horoscopes, fortune telling, etc. are the ABUSE of it.

Abraham is the forefather of faith for all major monotheistic religions. We are to have the same faith as Abraham, the father of our faith. But what exactly is the faith of Abraham and how did he obtain a state of righteousness?

We are told to look to Abraham that Yahuah established an everlasting covenant with Abraham which “the word” of this promise was commanded to a thousand generations.

 𝙄𝙨𝙖𝙞𝙖𝙝 51:1-8

“Lɪsᴛᴇɴ ᴛᴏ Mᴇ, ʏᴏᴜ ᴡʜᴏ ᴘᴜʀsᴜᴇ ʀɪɢʜᴛᴇᴏᴜsɴᴇss, Wʜᴏ sᴇᴇᴋ Yᴀʜᴜᴀʜ: Lᴏᴏᴋ ᴛᴏ ᴛʜᴇ ʀᴏᴄᴋ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ᴡʜɪᴄʜ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴇʀᴇ ʜᴇᴡɴ, Aɴᴅ ᴛᴏ ᴛʜᴇ ǫᴜᴀʀʀʏ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ᴡʜɪᴄʜ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴇʀᴇ ᴅᴜɢ. Lᴏᴏᴋ ᴛᴏ Aʙʀᴀʜᴀᴍ ʏᴏᴜʀ ꜰᴀᴛʜᴇʀ, Aɴᴅ ᴛᴏ Sᴀʀᴀʜ ᴡʜᴏ ɢᴀᴠᴇ ʙɪʀᴛʜ ᴛᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ɪɴ ᴘᴀɪɴ;

Abraham was shown The Heavenly Scroll which is the Ancient Path and the promise of salvation. It is his faith in what he was shown that was the definition of righteousness long before the Law was given to Moses. Abraham confirmed his faith in "the ancient path" called The Way.

The word translated “count” above is more accurately “recount or relate”.

Abraham was told to “recount” or “relate” the meaning of The Heavenly Scroll which tells the life of the seed of Abraham that would not come until the end of the Age of Aries the "lamb". That is why Abraham was supplied with a male lamb (ram) to sacrifice as a standing annual reminder or rehearsal.

We see that it was Abraham's faith in what the stars recount or proclaim that was counted as Righteousness. It is in The Heavenly Scroll that Yahuah's will, and glory is proclaimed.

Yahuah's Will and "spoken promise" in the beginning is the everlasting covenant Yahuah later confirmed with Abraham. This was “the word” that was commanded to a thousand generations as we read in 105:4-15. We see as far back as 200 years BC, it was understood that Abraham was a Chaldean Astrologer. He was most probably the founder of the Chaldean School of Astrology.

From early in the Jewish exegetical tradition, there has been a tendency to interpret Genesis 15:5 and its stargazing as some sort of reference to astral divination, specifically to astrology. In contrast to how some exponents of critical biblical study, for example, von Rad, view the beginning of chapter 15 as derived from a cultic setting (divine revelation, followed by a salvation oracle and an acknowledgment of sedäqä), 𝙚𝒂𝙧𝒍𝙮 𝙅𝒆𝙬𝒊𝙨𝒉 𝒆𝙭𝒆𝙜𝒆𝙨𝒊𝙨 𝙘𝒍𝙚𝒂𝙧𝒍𝙮 𝙨𝒆𝙚𝒎𝙨 𝙩𝒐 𝒉𝙖𝒗𝙚 𝙨𝒆𝙚𝒏 𝑨𝙗𝒓𝙖𝒎 𝒉𝙚𝒓𝙚 𝙖𝒔 𝒂 "𝙬𝒊𝙨𝒆 𝒎𝙖𝒏 𝒐𝙛 𝘾𝒉𝙖𝒍𝙙𝒆𝙖," 𝙨𝒐 𝒕𝙤 𝙨𝒑𝙚𝒂𝙠, 𝒘𝙚𝒍𝙡-𝙫𝒆𝙧𝒔𝙚𝒅 𝒊𝙣 𝙖𝒔𝙩𝒓𝙖𝒍 𝒅𝙞𝒗𝙞𝒏𝙖𝒕𝙞𝒐𝙣.

IX 17).6 Philo mentions Abraham as a knower of the stars (De Abrahamo 69-71), and Pseudo-Philo makes such a connection in his work Biblical Antiquities (18:5).

 

From: 𝑸𝒖𝒎𝒓𝒂𝒏 𝑺𝒄𝒓𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒔

Interestingly, the Qumran text Pseudo-Jubilees appears to allude to a similar astrological connection to the promise of descendants to Abraham (4Q225 2 I 3-8).7 It is notable that this tradition seems to have extended to non-Jewish sources as well.

Conclusion

Abraham was a master astrologer. If you ask some scholars Abraham was taught "secret knowledge" passed down from Adam and the founder of astrology. This becomes obvious from all the evidence of scholars and scripture.

But what does that mean to us today? What was it that Yahuah showed Abraham via the witness of the stars? It was the Mazzaroth.

 

The stars were created as a witness:

Now that we have held the Tanakh to the same standard we hold the New Testament writings of the Nazarenes, we find the same issues with both:

  • No original autographed copies.

  • No known authors assembled over time, sometimes thousands of years removed.

  •  Additions and alterations by the scribes.

  •  Miracles seem to be parallels of other pagan gods.

  • Contradictions.

  •  New doctrines and truths – “Anything true in the NT isn’t new and anything new isn't true” does not hold up in the Tanakh as every covenant introduced new instructions and promises.

In short, the Tanakh fails the same tests when held to the same standard. If we are to reject the New Testament, then we must also reject the Tanakh! But should we reject either the Tanakh or the New Testament? Or have we fallen for the Lying Pen of the Scribes?

If we cannot trust the Scriptures that have been handed down to us which have been altered and oral tradition “of the elders” have been incorporated, then how do we know what “Truth and Righteousness” is?

What did the offshoot of the Samaritans who became known as Essenes believe? This is paramount as the Nazarenes were an offshoot of the Essenes. Where did they put their faith? What faith influenced the Nazarene followers of John the Baptist and later Yahusha the Messiah? Were John, Yahusha, and many of the deciples Samaritans? Why did the Jews recognized Yahusha and his teachings to be of the faith of the Samaritans which they considered doctrines of demons.

𝑱𝙤𝒉𝙣 8

48 The Jews answered Him, “Are we not right to say that You are a Samaritan and You have a demon?” 49 “I do not have a demon,” Yahusha replied, “but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.

So, what was Yahusha's message that so inflamed the Jews and especially the High Priests?

Before the Foundation of the World… The Ancient Path

To find The Way, the Ancient Path we must go back to creation:

Where do we turn at this crossroads? If the lying pen of the scribes has totally falsified the written "word" passed down to us today and all we have are "nothing but lies"... then what is the Truth and where do we find it?"

Like ancient Israel, modern-day Christianity, and Judaism; will we too refuse to walk in the Ancient Path where the Truth is established? Will we too refuse to admit it?

What is "the ancient path", also called The Way, that we may seek it and travel down that path?

This path was revealed first to Enoch then passed down to Abraham through Moses and then the Zadok Priesthood at Samaria to John the Baptist then Yahusha the Messiah. Both anointed Zadokite High Priest of Israel.

At the time Yahuah declared through Jeremiah His Word had been completely corrupted by the scribes under the direction of a priesthood that had fallen into ruin (multiple times), we see Yahuah instruct us to seek "the ancient path" that long predated the giving of the Law to Moses. Ancient to Jeremiah was not Moses, but rather before Abraham.

  • The Faith of Noah

  •  The Faith of Abraham

  • The Faith of Moses

  • The Faith of the High Priests

  • The Faith of David

  •  The Faith of Jeremiah

  • The Faith of Ezekiel

  • The Faith of Isaiah

  •  The Faith of Zechariah

  • The Faith of the Essenes/Nazarene

  •  The Faith of John the Baptist

  • The Faith of Yahuhsa the Messiah

  • The Faith of Sha’ul the Apostle

  • The Faith of John of Patmos

  • The Faith of the First Century Israelites

Then I will break down "the Ancient Path" so that we may choose to walk it and admit it or refuse to do either.


 

The Zodiac Signs (The Heavenly Scroll) were originally revealed to Adam and passed down to Seth and Enoch before the Flood. Their meaning was transmitted to Noah who preserved it, according to the Enoch and Hermetic literature, on an Emerald Prism, left hidden in Egypt.

 

From: THE ORIGINAL PRE-DILUVIAN ZODIAC - Christian Hospitality

The Great Pyramids of Egypt

The Egyptians called Adam’s son, Seth “Agathodaimon”, i.e. “The Good, or Beneficent, Spirit”, and Seth’s descendant Enoch “The First Thoth (Hermes)”. The builder of the Great Pyramid, the Pharaoh Khufu or Cheops, is said in native Egyptian literature to have used the secret writings of “Thoth” (i.e. of Enoch) to build the Great Pyramid of Gizeh.

Pharaoh Khufu found the knowledge of the whereabouts of these writings of Thoth in the possession of a humble seer of very advanced age. Thus, the secrets of the star-signs were preserved after the Flood in Egypt and used to construct the Great Pyramid.

Testimony of Josephus

This Egyptian tradition, combined with the witness of the Enoch and Hermetic literature, confirms the testimony of Josephus that the antediluvian patriarchs discovered the secrets of the Zodiac and that their discoveries were inscribed on a monument of stone which remained standing to Josephus’ own time in Northern Egypt (the Siriadic land as he calls it).

Ancient Myths and Astrology

As early as 1811, modern researchers were examining evidence for knowledge of the precession of the equinoxes and astrological ages before Hipparchus. Sir William Drummond published Oedipus Judaicus: Allegory in the Old Testament in 1811. 𝘿𝙧𝙪𝙢𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙙 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙨 𝙤𝙣 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙝𝙮𝙥𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙖 𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙃𝙚𝙗𝙧𝙚𝙬 𝙎𝙘𝙧𝙞𝙥𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙜𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙬𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙝𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩. Furthermore, the Orientalists were mainly concerned with astronomy and most of their ancient myths are really disguised astronomical records. Drummond believed that the 49th chapter of Genesis contains prophecies allied to astronomy and that the twelve tribes of Israel represented the 12 zodiac signs.

Drummond makes his case that at the time of Abraham, the Amorites first recorded the shift from the Age of Taurus to the Age of Aries as represented by the year commencing with the Ram (Aries) rather than the bull (Taurus).

The Book of Joshua indicates that by the time of Moses the equinoxes had already shifted from Taurus to Aries, as Moses had ordained that the civil year should commence with the month of Nisan (Aries) rather than the month of Taurus. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙞𝙨 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙗𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙮 𝙖 𝙘𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙗𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘼𝙜𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝘼𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙖𝙨𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙡 𝙇𝙖𝙢𝙗 𝙧𝙚𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝘼𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨, 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙙𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙤𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙮𝙢𝙗𝙤𝙡 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙖𝙢 𝙤𝙧 𝙨𝙝𝙚𝙚𝙥.

Drummond also hypothesizes that most number references in ancient texts were coded to hide their real value by multiples of 1,000. For example, in the Old Testament Joshua commanded 30,000 men, and he slew 12,000 inhabitants of the city of Ai. The historian Berosus stated the Babylonians commenced astronomical observations 49,000 years (7 × 7 x 1000) before Alexander the Great. Most early references were related to 7 (Sun, Moon, and five visible planets), 12 (number of zodiacal signs and months per year), 30 (degrees per sign of the zodiac), and higher combinations of these numbers and other numbers associated with astronomical observations and astrology.

 

Understanding Ancient Astrology 

The problem of understanding the exact nature of ancient astrology is that it was only partly documented, leaving the question of the extent of their undocumented astrological knowledge. Michael Baigent in From the Omens of Babylon: Astrology and Ancient Mesopotamia suggests that there is evidence that there was probably an older or parallel oral tradition of astrology at the time of publication of Enuma Anu Enlil believed published over the period (1595–1157 BC).

Santillana and von Dechend believed that the old mythological stories handed down from antiquity were not random fictitious tales but were accurate depictions of celestial cosmology clothed in tales to aid their oral transmission. The chaos, monsters, and violence in ancient myths are representative of the forces that shape each age. They believed that ancient myths are the remains of preliterate astronomy that became lost with the rise of the Greco-Roman civilization.

Santillana and von Dechend state that ancient myths have no historical basis but a cosmological one based on a primitive form of astrology. They recognized the importance of the heliacally rising constellation as markers for the astrological ages and wrote that knowledge of this phenomenon had been known for thousands of years previously.

The Faith of Shem

Abraham was a great philosopher and astrologer. The Talmud teaches that, “Abraham held great astrology in his heart, and all the kings of the east and west arose early at his door.” … It is in the Holy Land where he met Malki Tzedek, King of Shalem, who was a priest to G d, the Most High (Genesis 14:18). Our Sages identify Malki Tzedek as Shem the son of Noah. There is evidence that the mystical tradition was taught to Abraham by Shem. According to some authorities, Abraham authored Sefer Yetzirah (the Book of Formation), one of the fundamental works of Kabbalah. The Talmud states that Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob all studied in the academies of Shem and Eber.

The Faith of Noah

In the Book of Jubilees, there are few terms whose sense is as rich and varied as that of the “heavenly tablets.” The passages that mention The Heavenly Scroll are grouped into five categories: the tablets of the law; the heavenly register of good and evil; the Book of Destiny; the calendar and feasts.

An extended passage in Jubilees following the flood narrative explicitly expresses the conception of Shavuot as the festival of covenant.

𝙅𝙪𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙚𝙨 6:17  

ꜰᴇsᴛɪᴠᴀʟ ᴏꜰ ᴡᴇᴇᴋs ᴅᴜʀɪɴɢ ᴛʜɪs ᴍᴏɴᴛʜ—ᴏɴᴄᴇ ᴀ ʏᴇᴀʀ—ᴛᴏ ʀᴇɴᴇᴡ ᴛʜᴇ ᴄᴏᴠᴇɴᴀɴᴛ ᴇᴀᴄʜ ᴀɴᴅ ᴇᴠᴇʀʏ ʏᴇᴀʀ.

The purpose of the annual celebration of Shavuot is to renew the covenant between God and Israel. Shavuot as a Covenant Going Back to the Time of Creation.

According to Jubilees, the national covenant between God and Israel was not first established at Sinai, but existed from the dawn of time, when Israel was already chosen as God’s nation in the first week of creation (written in The Heavenly Scroll):

𝙅𝙪𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙚𝙨 6:19

19 Hᴇ sᴀɪᴅ ᴛᴏ ᴜs: “I ᴡɪʟʟ ɴᴏᴡ sᴇᴘᴀʀᴀᴛᴇ ꜰᴏʀ ᴍʏsᴇʟꜰ ᴀ ᴘᴇᴏᴘʟᴇ ᴀᴍᴏɴɢ ᴍʏ ɴᴀᴛɪᴏɴs. Aɴᴅ ᴛʜᴇʏ ᴡɪʟʟ ᴋᴇᴇᴘ Sᴀʙʙᴀᴛʜ. I ᴡɪʟʟ sᴀɴᴄᴛɪꜰʏ ᴛʜᴇᴍ ᴀs ᴍʏ ᴘᴇᴏᴘʟᴇ, ᴀɴᴅ I ᴡɪʟʟ ʙʟᴇss ᴛʜᴇᴍ.

This accords with a deterministic, dualistic worldview expressed in a number of passages throughout Jubilees, according to which the status of Israel and the nations (and their heavenly angelic counterparts) was established by God as an integral part of the cosmos (in The Heavenly Scroll). Although Israel did not exist until over twenty generations later, its special position was determined in advance in The Heavenly Scroll.

The existence of the covenant from the time of creation necessitated the existence of commandments, which are the stipulations of this covenant, and thus Jubilees posits that many commandments were already given (and passed down orally) prior to Mount Sinai. Similarly, the covenant festival was relevant from the dawn of time as well: first observed by angelic beings in heaven from creation, until the time of Noah when it was first observed by human beings. It was then celebrated off and on until it was commanded at Mount Sinai:

Jubilees thus commemorate this eternal covenant, which began in the first week of history and was renewed over time. The Sinaitic revelation is the culmination of a process, but is not the sole covenantal event at the heart of this festival of Shavuot. We read in the Dead Sea Scrolls:

The Faith of Abraham

We see as far back as 200 years BC, it was understood that Abraham was a Chaldean Astrologer. He was most probably the founder of the Chaldean School of Astrology. Daniel too was of the Chaldean school of Astrologers as I will show later.

From early in the Jewish exegetical tradition, there has been a tendency to interpret Genesis 15:5 and its stargazing as some sort of reference to astral divination, specifically to astrology. In contrast to how some exponents of critical biblical study, for example, von Rad, view the beginning of chapter 15 as derived from a cultic setting (divine revelation, followed by a salvation oracle and an acknowledgment of sedäqä), 𝙚𝒂𝙧𝒍𝙮 𝙅𝒆𝙬𝒊𝙨𝒉 𝒆𝙭𝒆𝙜𝒆𝙨𝒊𝙨 𝙘𝒍𝙚𝒂𝙧𝒍𝙮 𝙨𝒆𝙚𝒎𝙨 𝙩𝒐 𝒉𝙖𝒗𝙚 𝙨𝒆𝙚𝒏 𝑨𝙗𝒓𝙖𝒎 𝒉𝙚𝒓𝙚 𝙖𝒔 𝒂 "𝙬𝒊𝙨𝒆 𝒎𝙖𝒏 𝒐𝙛 𝘾𝒉𝙖𝒍𝙙𝒆𝙖," 𝙨𝒐 𝒕𝙤 𝙨𝒑𝙚𝒂𝙠, 𝒘𝙚𝒍𝙡-𝙫𝒆𝙧𝒔𝙚𝒅 𝒊𝙣 𝙖𝒔𝙩𝒓𝙖𝒍 𝒅𝙞𝒗𝙞𝒏𝙖𝒕𝙞𝒐𝙣.

Interestingly, the Qumran text Pseudo-Jubilees appears to allude to a similar astrological connection to the promise of descendants to Abraham (4Q225 2 I 3-8).7 It is notable that this tradition seems to have extended to non-Jewish sources as well.

By Hellenizing the scriptures, the reality of the Mazzaroth ‘the Heavenly Scroll’ is hidden from our view. “Heaven” in Hebrew is shamayim and means “visible sky where the stars are located”. It is speaking of the Mazzaroth. Today we call it the Zodiac where Yahuah authored the Plan of Salvation.

Understanding this simple truth brings new meaning to the scriptures. When we remove the effects of Hellenism the reality of these scriptures comes to life in light of The Heavenly Scroll.

For instance, when Yahusha prays to Yahuah:

𝙈𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙬 6:10

"ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴋɪɴɢᴅᴏᴍ ᴄᴏᴍᴇ, ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴡɪʟʟ ʙᴇ ᴅᴏɴᴇ, ᴏɴ ᴇᴀʀᴛʜ ᴀs ɪᴛ ɪs ɪɴ ʜᴇᴀᴠᴇɴ."

Below is the Hebrew word for Heaven which is shamayim:

-----𝐁r𝐨w𝐧-𝐃r𝐢v𝐞r-B𝐫i𝐠g𝐬 𝐞n𝐭r𝐲 𝐇8𝟎6𝟒-----

1. 𝑎. 𝑣𝑖𝑠𝑖𝑏𝑙𝑒𝑒𝑎𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑠, 𝑠𝑘𝑦, 𝑤𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑠, 𝑒𝑡𝑐., 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑙𝑜𝑐𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑑

      ------------------------------------------

We see that the primary definition 1.A is "visible sky where the stars are located" i.e. the Mazzaroth! What Yahusha REALLY said and meant is this:

𝙈𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙬6:10

"ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴋɪɴɢᴅᴏᴍ ᴄᴏᴍᴇ, ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴡɪʟʟ ʙᴇ ᴅᴏɴᴇ, ᴏɴ ᴇᴀʀᴛʜ ᴀs ɪᴛ ɪs (𝑤𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑛) ᴡʜᴇʀᴇ ᴛʜᴇ sᴛᴀʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴠɪsɪʙʟᴇ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ sᴋʏ (𝑆𝑎𝑚𝑎𝑦𝑖𝑚/𝑀𝑎𝑧𝑧𝑎𝑟𝑜𝑡ℎ)"

 

You see, Yahusha understood that the Plan of Salvation, His Kingdom, and Yahuah’s Will were originally written in the stars! He was proclaiming his desire to see that Original Revelation come true on Earth exactly as it is written in the Mazzaroth. Let us look at other occurrences of the word ‘shamayim’ in scripture and reveal the meaning of those passages.

One was found among the Dead Sea Scrolls. Astrology was often practiced by rabbis. In the Middle Ages, rabbis were often employed as astrologers. The scholar Anthony J. Tomasino states in: “𝐴𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑔 𝑡𝑒 𝑔𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡 𝑚𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑒𝑣𝑎𝑙 𝑟𝑎𝑏𝑏𝑖𝑠 𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑜𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑦 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝑎 𝑠𝑐𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑞𝑢𝑖𝑡𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑤𝑖𝑡 𝑡𝑒 𝐽𝑒𝑤𝑖𝑠 𝑓𝑎𝑖𝑡ℎ.”

"For Origen, the important early Christian scholar, the stars are “heavenly writings, which the angels and the divine powers are able to read well . . .

But around the 4th century after the Council of Nicaea a new religion emerged called Christianity. Christians began to denounce astrology. No one can point to any verse in the Bible that supports such a condemnation when understood in context. Sure, there are mistranslated sound bites used to "imply" Yahuah condemns astrology. We can see the degree to which we "refuse to admit" the stars and constellations show us The Way and we refuse to walk in it. I have had to wonder if Christianity banned astrological knowledge so that the Bible would become more obscure... "Lying Pen of the Scribes" comes to mind.

The Faith of Joseph

In Genesis 37:9, Joseph dreams “the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me.” For Philo, the 1st century Jewish sage, this meant that Joseph was “thus classing himself as the twelfth, to complete the circle of the zodiac.”

The Law was transmitted from Adam to Moses orally. With Moses, the Law was transposed from oral to written in stone. In The Yahushaic Covenant, the Law is transposed from written in stone to written on our hearts. What Moses was given on Mt. Sinai was what is written in The Heavenly Scroll where true Righteousness is found.

Moses constructed the Tabernacle in the wilderness as a reflection of The Heavenly Scroll. There were images of the 4 constellations on the flags/standards carried by the four divisions of the host of Israelites in the wilderness. Each of the 4 division consisted of three tribes and were known by the name of the principal tribe which formed it.

 

The images on the standards were a lion for Judah, a man for Reuben, a bull for Ephraim, and an eagle (or river) for Dan. In two cases multiple symbols are required to tell their story. For instance, Rueben. A man and a river, represents Aquarius the water-bearer pouring out a river of living water from on high.

Solomon was credited with a knowledge of astrology. This is based on the passage in the “Book of the Wisdom of Solomon” in the Apocrypha: “For God Himself gave me unerring knowledge of the things that are – the circuits of years and the positions of stars – the thoughts of men, the diversities of plants and the virtues of roots.”

Apparently, in Solomon’s time astrology and magic/pharmacy had merged into one.

Breastplate of the High Priest

From: 𝐵𝑖𝑟𝑡𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑛𝑒𝑠 & 𝐴𝑎𝑟𝑜𝑛'𝑠 𝐵𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑝𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑒 (𝑣𝑢𝑙𝑐𝑎𝑛𝑠-𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑔𝑒.𝑐𝑜𝑚): “𝑇𝑒 𝑆𝑒𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑡𝑒 𝑇𝑜𝑟𝑎ℎ”, 𝐴 𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑠𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑜𝑓 𝐴𝑏𝑟𝑎𝑎𝑚 𝑖𝑏𝑛 𝐸𝑧𝑟𝑎𝑠 𝑆𝑒𝑓𝑒𝑟 𝑌𝑒𝑠𝑜𝑑 𝑀𝑜𝑟𝑎 𝑉𝑒-𝑆𝑜𝑑 𝐻𝑎-𝑇𝑜𝑟𝑎ℎ, 𝑏𝑦 𝐻. 𝑁𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑛 𝑆𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑘𝑚𝑎𝑛.

"The secret of the ephod is extremely precious, for six names were inscribed on each one of the two sapphire stones that were on the ephod. One stone was on its right, and one was on its left.

Observe: There was no image on the stones [of the ephod]. This alludes to the twelve sections of the sky. These sections can be perceived only by the mind. They correspond to the number of the tribes of Israel.

The breastplate was like the work of the ephod (Shemot (Exodus) 28:15). It was square, corresponding to the four compass points. Each one of its stones was therefore unlike the other. The boxes and the rings that were permanently set in the breastplate allude to the celestial equator.

The urim are to be taken at face value. So is the tummim. The tummim corresponds to the cubed number. Moses first placed them on the breastplate, in accordance with the position of the heavenly bodies, on the day that he erected the tabernacle. The wise will understand."

More info: https://doormann.tripod.com/mazzarot.htm

According to Josephus, each of the twelve precious stones that formed the High Priest’s breastplate bore the name of a tribe, connecting them with the signs of the zodiac. “And for the twelve stones,” he states, “whether we understand by them the months, or whether we understand the like number of the signs of that circle which the Greeks call the Zodiac, we shall not be mistaken in their meaning.” …

Above, Yahuah provides a direct link to the constellations and The Law recorded in The Heavenly Scroll. Both having "dominion over the Earth".

 

The Faith of Daniel

Daniel is a very good example that using the Zodiac, interpreting dreams, and deciphering omens with the proper ‘spirit’ and seeking those answers from the Creator is acceptable. The Prophet Daniel was the "Chief Astrologer" in the Babylonian Court (actually under several empires/kings) ... so good was Daniel at his craft of divination (means seeking DIVINe revelATION), he was made King of the Chaldeans who were renowned Astrologers dating back to Babylon and before to Abraham the founder!

The Bible calls those who use divination techniques to seek counsel from Yahuah… Prophets. Those who use divination and seek counsel from other gods… false prophets, soothsayers, etc.

Daniel was a Eunuch; he had no children/heirs. Daniel amassed a fortune serving at the highest levels of multiple empires and Kings as their 'advisor' i.e. chief astrologer... Daniel became the right hand of the Kings who deemed Daniel their King "by proxy". Daniel was one of the most powerful and wealthy men across several dynasties and Kings. Daniel trained the Chaldean Astrologers how to properly understand The Zodiac and how it foretold of the coming King/Messiah. He left specific instruction to those in his ‘school of astrology’ called Chaldean Astrologer how to find the newborn King using astrology and the signs in the sky/Zodiac.

We see Daniel below declare Yahuah's Will is written in the constellations:

𝘿𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙚𝙡 4:35

Daniel describes The Enoch Zodiac (The Heavenly Scroll) in great detail, see my video:

Next, I will continue to reveal the faith of our forefathers...

  • The Faith of the Essenes/Nazarene

  • The Faith of John the Baptist

  •  The Faith of Yahuhsa the Messiah

  •  The Faith of Sha’ul the Apostle

  •  The Faith of John of Patmos

  • The Faith of the First Century Israelites


Then I will breakdown "the Ancient Path" so that we may choose to walk it and admit it or refuse to do either.
