| We
have already looked at the connection between the Jewish Feast days and
the Book of Revelation. We also considered the connection
between the Tabernacle paraphernalia and the structure of the Book of Revelation.
Now we turn our attention to the heavens for it was Jesus himself that
declared that we should expect to see signs in the heavens prior to his
return.
Is
there a connection between the ancient Zodiac, the constellations, and
the prophecy within the Book of Revelation? Many have for years declared
this to be so. The great theologian E. W. Bullinger
declared it to be so giving witness to and expanding upon the works of
Joseph Seiss. Dr. James Kennedy preaches such a message today.
What did these men see that the church for the most part has kept hidden
for one reason or another. What is the message of the "Everlasting
Gospel" which the angel in the Book of Revelation is to declare in the
last days? Could it indeed be mysteries hidden within the stars as
originally declared by the prophet Enoch and witnessed in the days of Christ
by both Jude and Josepheus?
Was
every tribe of ancient Israel associated with a house of the zodiac?
Did ancient synagogues in Israel have the zodiac engraved upon the floor?
Do we see such images as Virgo, Cassiopeia, Coma, Corona,
Libra, Scorpio, Ophiuchus, Serpens, Draco, Sagittarius, Hydra, Corvus,
Leo, Gemini, Cetus, Pegasus, Aquarius, Argo, Taurus, Pleiades, Cephus,
and Aquilla throughout the Book of Revelation?
The
great theologians Bullinger and Seiss did. Why has this been kept
a secret to us? How does it help us to understand the prophecies
of the bible? Is Reuben symbolized by Aquarius? Does Pisces represent
Simeon and Levi? Does Zebulun find his standard in the sign of Virgo?
Is Cancer a symbol representing Issachar?
Many
down through history have believed Dan to be associated with antichrist
because of his identification with Scorpio and the Serpent. What
of Gad and Aries or Asher and Sagittarius? Is Capricorn a symbol
for Naphtali and the horns of Taurus representative of Ephraim and Manasseh?
Are
the twelve major signs of the zodiac the very stars worn on the head of
the Bride of Christ? If these things are not true, then why are they
connected so throughout the bible and Jewish history? |
