| 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. | |
