The Meaning of the Zodiac
Psalm 19: 1-4
1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
And the firmament shows His handiwork.
2 Day unto day utters speech,
And night unto night reveals knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language
Where their voice is not heard.
4 Their line has gone out through the earth,
And their words to the end of the world.
After the Flood, the sons of Noah and their wives had
children. Over time, these children started to spread
out across the lands. When the first group of children
walked into Eqypt, they saw the Great Pyramid with the
Sphinx in front of it. The story of
Christ has always been
"written in the stars" in the sky above us.
The 12 "zodiac" signs that have shined in the night
sky tells us of Christ's coming, His life on earth,
and triumph when He returns again.
THE SPHINX INSTRUCTED PEOPLE WHERE IN THE ZODIAC
TO BEGIN AND END WITHIN THE 12 SIGNS
TO LEARN THE STORY OF CHRIST!
START WITH VIRGO (the woman)
and
END WITH LEO (the lion)
LET'S TAKE A CLOSER LOOK. . .
THE MODERN ZODIAC BEGINS WITH:
Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio,
Sagittarius, Capricorn.
Or the daily newspaper places them by dates:
Capricorn, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra,
Scorpio, Sagittarius
PLACE THEM IN ORDER AS THE SPHINX TELL US TO:
Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aries, Taurus,
Gemini, Cancer, Leo.
SO WE WILL NOW SIMPLY PLACE BIBLICAL VERSE AND FACT TO THE
ZODIAC SIGN:
****************************************************************
**
These first four signs prefigure the person, work and triumph
of the Redeemer who came to us in flesh on earth.
****************************************************************
**
1. VIRGO: (the Virgin)
Virgo is pictured as a woman with a branch in her right hand and
some ears of corn in her left hand. Virgo in Hebrew is
"Bethulah"
which means, "a virgin". In Greek, Virgo is "Parthenos", which
means "the maid of virgin pureness".
=Jesus, also called Immanuel, was born to a virgin.
There is no other place in the history of mankind where this
"supernatural" birth has happened.
Matthew 1:23
23 "Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son,
and they shall call His name Immanuel," which is translated,
"God with us."
2. LIBRA: (the Scales)
Libra is pictured as the depiction of a set of scales. In
Hebrew,
Libra is called, "Monzanaim", meaning, "the Scales, weighing".
Its present name in Latin means, "weighing". In Greek mythology,
Libra represented the balances of Astraea, the Goddess of
Justice,
which weighs the lives of mortal men.
None of us is perfect, and we have no way of "tipping the
scales"
in our favour.
Someone who is perfect must "tip the scales" for us.
The only way is to pay with their life (the largest price
anyone
could pay) for our imperfection.
So who is that someone else who would do such a thing?
John 5: 22-24
22 "For the Father judges no one, but has committed all
judgement
to the Son,
23 "that all should honor the Son just as they honor the
Father.
He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who
sent Him.
Matthew 20: 28
28 "just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to
serve, and to give His life a ransom for many."
Romans 5:8
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while
we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Ephesians 2:8
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that
not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.
3. SCORPIO (the Scorpion)
Scorpio is the figure of a huge scorpion, with its tail lifted
in anger. It appears to be trying to strike the man (Ophiuchus)
who is struggling with a serpent. In Hebrew, Scorpio is called,
"Akrab", which means both "the scorpion" and "wounding, or
conflict".
In mythology, Scorpius was the scorpion whose sting killed
Orion,
"the Hunter".
In the sky Orion still flees from the scorpion, for Orion sets
below the horizon as Scorpius rises.
Satan "the deceiver" is the scorpion who stung us by tempting
Adam to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
All of mankind from Adam to now, to the future, must die
because of Satan's success in deceivng Adam in The Garden.
This is also the struggle of
good vs. evil
of
mankind vs. Satan
Genesis 3: 2-5
2 And the woman said to the serpent, "We may eat the fruit of
the trees of the garden;
3 "but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the
garden,God has said, 'You shall not eat of it, nor shall you
touch it, lest you die.'"
4 Then the serpent said to the woman, "You will not surely die.
5 "For God knows that in the say you eat of it your eyes will
be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."
Genesis 3: 17-19
17 Then to Adam He said, "Because you have heeded the voice of
your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded
you, saying, 'You shall not eat of it':
"Curse is the ground for you sake;
In toil you shall eat of it
All the days of your life.
18 Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you,
And you shall eat the herb of the field.
19 In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread
Till you return to the ground,
For out of it you were taken;
For dust you are,
And to dust you shall return."
4. SAGITTARIUS (the Archer)
A constellation depicting a centaur (half man, half beast)
with a raised bow and arrow. Sagittarius is shooting at the
heart
of Scorpius the Scorpion, which bit Orion the Hunter,
causing his death.
Jesus Christ died on the cross with the world (and Satan) owing
Him His life. His death by crucification is the "arrow"
that pierces Satan's heart and releases Satan's grip on us.
Matthew 4: 8-10
8 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain,
and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.
9 And he said to Him, "All these things I will give You if You
will fall down and worship me."
10 Then Jesus said to him, "Away with you Satan! For it is
written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only
you shall serve."
Matthew 27: 50-54
50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up
His spirit,
51 Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from
top
to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split,
52 and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints
who had fallen asleep were raise;
53 and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they
went
into the holy city and appeared to many.
54 So when the centurion and those with him, who were guarding
Jesus, saw the earthquake and the things that had happened,
they feared greatly, saying, "Truly this was the Son of
God!"
Romans 5: 6-11
6 For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ
died for the ungodly.
7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps
for a good man someone would even dare to die.
8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while
we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we
shall be saved from wrath through Him.
10 For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through
the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we
shall be saved by His life.
