The Gospel in the Stars (6)

God designed the constellations.

• He counts (tells) the number of the stars He
  calls them all by name (Psalm 1474).
• Job is one of the earliest books and God speaks
  to Job using the stars, which had the same names
  as now

3

• Job 2613 By His Spirit He adorned (garnished,
  designed, beautified) the heavens His hand
  formed (coiled) the fleeing serpent (HYDRA)

4

• Job 98,9 He alone spreads out the heavens. He
  made Arcturus (Bootes), Orion, and the Pleiades,
  and the chambers (constellations) of the south.

5

• In Job 3831-32 God says Can you bind the
  cluster of the Pleiades, or loose the belt of
  Orion (the mighty hunter)? Can you bring out
  Mazzaroth (the 12 signs of the Zodiac) in its
  season? Or can you guide Arcturus with
  its sons? Do you know the ordinances
  of the heavens? Can you set their dominion over
  the earth?

6

• The story is in 3 ACTS of 4 Chapters each
• ACT 1 The Redeemers First Coming
• - His Sufferings. Salvation obtained.
• ACT 2 The Redeemed - The result of the
  Redeemers sufferings. Salvation bestowed.
• ACT 3 The Redeemers Second Coming His Glory
  (His dominion and final judgement).

7
ACT 3 - The 2nd Coming of the Redeemer In Act 1
we saw the sufferings of Christ, in Act2 we saw
His salvation bestowed upon His people and now in
Act 3 we see His glory as He returns to judge the
earth and reign as King of kings and Lord of
lords. For behold, the LORD comes out of His
place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for
their iniquity the earth will also disclose her
blood, and will no more cover her slain (Isaiah
2621).

• The picture (in all Zodiacs) is an angry charging
  bull. He is rushing forward with great energy
  and wrath, his horns set to push his enemies and
  pierce them through to their destruction. It is
  unlike the domestic bulls we know. It is a
  ferocious relative, now-extinct called RIMU, a
  huge untamable wild ox, wrongly translated
  unicorn in the AV
• Reem conveys exaltation, power,and preeminence.
  It was little smaller than an elephant and was a
  prize for great hunters in ancient times.

• It was untamable, with great strength and speed
  as in Job 399,10 Will the wild ox (RIMU) be
  willing to serve you? Will he bed by your manger?
  Can you bind the wild ox in the furrow with
  ropes? Or will he plow the valleys behind you?
• It spared neither man or beast in its ferocity.
  It was a symbol of great POWER (Numbers 2322).
  In mythology, Taurus was pictured as snow WHITE,
  the colour of righteousness

24
(No Transcript)
25
It represents the mighty, untamable wrath of God
being unleashed on his enemies as Jesus Christ
returns at Armageddon (Revelation 19). The Rimu
had great sharp outspread horns. Horns are
symbols of power and authority. The Messiah
says My horn You have exalted like a wild ox
(RIMU) (Psalm 9210).
26

• It represents the time when the Messiah will move
  in judgment with irresistible force. It is the
  mighty, untamable wrath of God being unleashed on
  his enemies.
• This will start immediately after the rapture
  with the judgments of the Tribulation and
  concludes when Jesus Christ returns at Armageddon
  (Revelation 19).

27

• Taurus

28

• The Rimu had great sharp outspread horns. Horns
  are symbols of power and authority.
• The Messiah says My horn You have exalted like
  a wild ox (RIMU) (Psalm 9210).

• Isaiah 342,6,7,8, "For the indignation of the
  LORD is upon ALL NATIONS, and his fury upon ALL
  THEIR ARMIES...He has delivered them to the
  slaughter.... For the LORD has a sacrifice in
  Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of
  Edom. The wild oxen (REEM) shall come down, and
  the young bulls with the mighty bulls their land
  shall be soaked with blood...For it is the day of
  the LORD'S vengeance, and the year of recompenses
  for the CONTROVERSY OF ZION."

31

• God is slow to anger, but when the united
  nations' armies under antichrist attack Israel on
  the last day of the Tribulation, His fury will
  come up in his face and He will charge forth from
  Heaven to deliver His people.

32

• The Egyptian Zodiac of Denderah (2000 BC) called
  him names that meant The Chief who comes,
  who comes to save and the one who delivers and
  saves mightily, The mighty Chieftain who comes to
  save.
• One star has the name Al Thuraiya (Arabic) the
  abundance (overflowing with wrath).
• That day will be the great Day of God's Wrath.

33

34

• The brightest star in the bulls eye (bright
  red-His eyes will be as a flame of fire) is
• AL DEBARAN THE CAPTAIN, LEADER or GOVERNOR.
  
• The next star (on left horn) is EL NATH THE
  WOUNDED OR SLAIN (Arabic).
• This shows that this Coming Lord is the same as
  He who would first be slain as a sacrifice. Thus
  He is worthy to be judge of all

35

• I will punish the world for its evil, and the
  wicked for their iniquity I will halt the
  arrogance of the proud, and will lay low the
  haughtiness of the terrible ... Therefore I will
  shake the heavens, and the earth will move out of
  her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts and
  in the day of His fierce anger.... Everyone who
  is found will be thrust through (Isaiah
  1311-15).

36

• Each of the 12 Tribes had an associated SIGN
  which they bore on their standards.
• Taurus was assigned to Joseph or rather Ephraim
  and Manasseh (the two horns) according to
  Deuteronomy 3317 His glory is like a firstborn
  bull, and his horns like the horns of the wild ox
  (RIMU) together with them He shall push the
  peoples to the ends of the earth they are the
  ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the
  thousands of Manasseh.

• The Bull is one with Aries, the enthroned Lamb,
  as it seems to come forth from its body. Thus
  Aries, the Lamb slain and then exalted to heaven
  in glory, is the same as Taurus who comes from
  heaven to judge in fierce anger. Just as the
  Lamb ARIES is in front of the bull TAURUS, and
  represents the same person, both constellations
  have a star named ELNATH THE WOUNDED or SLAIN
  (Arabic) to indicate that both represent Christ
  our Saviour that was slain to pay the price for
  our redemption. To His people He is the Lamb,
  but to his enemies He will be the terrifying Wild
  Bull, an irresistible, outraged and angry judge.

The start of the Tribulation

• Revelation 55-7 But one of the elders said to
  me, Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe
  of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to
  open the scroll and to loose its seven seals.
  And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the
  throne and of the four living creatures, and in
  the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though
  it had been slain, having seven horns and seven
  eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out
  into all the earth. Then He came and took the
  scroll out of the right hand of Him who sat on
  the throne.

• WHERE IS THE CHURCH AT THIS TIME OF JUDGMENT?
• In TAURUS (i.e, in Christ) there are two special
  clusters of stars.
• The PLEIADES THE CONGREGATION OF THE JUDGE or
  RULER is carried on His shoulder. What a
  wonderful picture of the Church, the rescued
  ones, gathered close together in love, supported
  by Christ, lifted up by Him in the Rapture and
  returning with Him as He judges the world, safe
  from judgment!

• The 7 Sisters were thought by the ancients as
  those saved from judgement. They are in a
  different position - not in front of the horns
  but lifted up high, riding on the shoulder.
  He carries us up in the Rapture and we return
  with Him in the 2nd Coming.
• In Greek myth, this Bull was a form adopted by
  Jupiter to carry his beloved, the beautiful
  Europa, across the seas to Crete. After He
  became angry at injustices done to him and
  attacked his enemies. So Christ will take His
  Bride to safety and then turn His anger upon His
  enemies.

• The brightest of its stars is Al Cyone (the
  centre). The PLEIADES is also known as the
  Seven Sisters because of the seven brightest
  stars which stand out. This identifies it with
  the Church according to Revelation 116, 21.
• The Syriac name for the PLEIADES is SUCCOTH
  booths, dwellings- signifying the Church in
  unity, dwelling together in God. It is a close
  bound cluster of stars.

• Taurus has always been linked to the Judgment of
  Noahs Flood and Pleiades was associated with
  Noahs Ark and those on it that were saved from
  judgment.
• Jesus taught that the Flood is a Type of the
  world-wide judgments of the Tribulation and
  Second Coming, and the last sign before judgment
  falls is the disappearance of the believers into
  Christ.

• Pentecostal Rapture?

64

• Enoch who was credited by the Jews as an expert
  in these prophetic star signs said
• Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His
  saints, to execute judgment on all, to convict
  all who are ungodly among them of all their
  ungodly deeds which they have committed in an
  ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which
  ungodly sinners have spoken against Him (Jude
  14,15).

65

• The government shall be on His shoulder Isaiah
  96

66

• The HYADES (THE CONGREGATED) represent Israel.
  The HYADES is located in the left eye of the
  bull. Believing Israel is the apple of His eye
  (Deuteronomy 3210) under His protection.
  Psalm 178 says, "Keep me as the apple of the
  eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings."
  They are in His eye at His 2nd Coming for He is
  coming to save them from destruction.
• One star is called PALILICIUM BELONGING TO THE
  JUDGE (Hebrew).

• The Bull is the opposite to SCORPIO - the
  Scorpion.
• So always, when TAURUS rises, SCORPIO sets. As
  the Lord rises in Judgment, so satan is removed
  from the scene.

  MAN, even the Son of Man, a triumphant Prince.
  It speaks of LIGHT breaking forth from Him. It
  is the most brilliant of all the constellations.

  of the Bull stands great Orion. And who, when
  night is clear, beholds him gleaming bright,
  shall cast his eyes in vain to find a sign more
  glorious in all heaven.

• Myths say he was a special gift of the gods to
  the world, born of a woman, a mighty hunter who
  came to destroy the forces of evil but a
  scorpion gave him a mortal wound in the foot (Gen
  315), but was raised to immortality in the
  heavens. He is usually called the hunter. He
  was placed opposite Scorpio to rise when Scorpio
  set.

The River of Fire

• Notice the river of judgement that flows from
  under the foot of Orion, it touches the
  decapitated lion (satan whose authority/ head has
  already been removed at the cross). His foot is
  also about to crush the enemy. The club is about
  to give the final blow to Cetus and the river

  garment was white as snow, and the hair of His
  head was like pure wool. His throne was a fiery
  flame, Its wheels a burning fire a fiery stream
  issued and came forth from before Him.
• A thousand thousands ministered to Him Ten
  thousand times ten thousand stood before Him. The
  court was seated, and the Books were opened. I
  watched then because of the sound of the pompous
  words which the horn was speaking, I watched till
  the beast (antichrist) was slain, and its body
  destroyed and given to the burning flame (the
  Lake of Fire - see Revelation 1919,20)

138

• Then the beast was captured, and with him the
  false prophet who worked signs in his presence,
  by which he deceived those who received the mark
  of the beast and those who worshiped his image.
  These two were cast alive into the lake of fire
  burning with brimstone.

• The Message of Auriga
• During the judgements of the Tribulation
  (Taurus) and the 2nd Coming (Orion) the sheep
  (believers) will be safe in the arms of the Good
  Shepherd, far above the destruction and the
  eternal fire. We will be with Him and in Him
  looking down, rather than being crushed under His
  feet.
• In the Rapture He lifts us to be with Him far
  above the judgments (Auriga/Pleiades) and we will
  then return to earth with Him in the 2nd Coming.

• Notice in the pictures of this sign we see
• Gods judgement and wrath poured out in the
  Tribulation (Taurus) and in the glorious
  appearance of Christ in His 2nd Coming (Orion)
  with His eye especially upon Israel to save them.
  Satan is judged and crushed under foot. He is
  locked up in the pit under the earth (Scorpio)
  for the Kingdom Age of peace (next sign). The
  river of eternal fire starts to flow down upon
  His enemies (consuming the antichrist) and it is
  destined to reach satan (Cetus). Meanwhile He
  lifts His people are safe high above the
  judgement, and they are looking down upon it (ff

  and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him
  was called Faithful and True, and in
  righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes
  were like a flame of fire, and on His head were
  many crowns. He had a name written that no one
  knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe
  dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word
  of God. 14 And the armies in heaven, clothed in
  fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on
  white horses. 15 Now out of His mouth goes a
  sharp sword, that with it He should strike the
  nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod
  of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the
  fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has
  on His robe and on His thigh a name written
  KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS

• Revelation 1919-21 I saw the beast, the kings
  of the earth, and their armies, gathered together
  to make war against Him who sat on the horse and
  against His army. Then the beast was captured,
  and with him the false prophet who worked signs
  in his presence, by which he deceived those who
  received the mark of the beast and those who
  worshiped his image. These two were cast alive
  into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.
  And the rest were killed with the sword which
  proceeded from the mouth of Him who sat on the
  horse.

• Revelation 201-3 Then I saw an angel coming
  down from heaven, having the key to the
  bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. He
  laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who
  is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a
  thousand years and he cast him into the
  bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal
  on him, so that he should deceive the nations no
  more till the thousand years were finished. But
  after these things he must be released for a
  little while.

• Revelation 2010-15 The devil, who deceived
  them, was cast into the lake of fire and
  brimstone where the beast and the false prophet
  are. And they will be tormented day and night
  forever and ever.    Then I saw a great white
  throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the
  earth and the heaven fled away. And there was
  found no place for them. And I saw the dead,
  small and great, standing before God, and books
  were opened. And another book was opened, which
  is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged
  according to their works, by the things which
  were written in the books. The sea gave up the
  dead who were in it, and Death and Hades
  delivered up the dead who were in them. And they
  were judged, each one according to his works.
  Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of
  fire. This is the second death. And anyone not
  found written in the Book of Life was cast into
  the lake of fire.
