Exploring Astrology in Biblical Interpretation

these things because what's apparent to me is people can get so hostile you know about if if you say something that disagrees with them they don't want to hear about it doesn't make any difference if what you're saying is true if you disagree they get very hostile I have people that call up on the answering machine and say I'm a born again Christian and they'll curse you out I mean they'll really use tough bad language in disagreeing with you or you know saying all kinds of things it doesn't it it doesn't hurt Jesus Christ said ask seek now it doesn't hurt to disagree about the interpretation of the Bible there's nothing wrong with that everybody's always done that and um when you look then for hidden meanings You're simply following what the Bible says you should do but in in particular this one fellow called he was outraged because he said that I was teaching about astrology in the Bible and that God has nothing to do with astrology and astrology is evil what you have to try to understand is in speaking of the evil of astrology the Bible is relating it to fortune telling fortunetelling indeed is but that's not astrological science that's not the scientific astrology that was so prevalent in in biblical times because it wasn't talking about fortune telling it was talking about the influences that various constellation uh formations have on the human mind that's just a scientific fact I mean you can't say that the moon doesn't control the tides it does I mean you're 98% seawater so obviously you would be affected by it you can't say the sun doesn't control life it does and the other constellations do have an effect on the way people think but when you say God will have nothing to do with astrology before we just blatantly say that say this is the way Way It Is God will have nothing to do with astrology let's consider that on the very first page of the Bible in Genesis 1113 it talks about the creation of the stars and it says let them be for signs okay that's astrology if if the Bible says the stars are for signs then it's very important that we find out what the signs mean wouldn't you think or do we just disregard that we're not talking about fortune telling now we're talking about signs if the Bible says that the stars are for signs then we should find out what the signs mean that's astrology if you go and you uh go to Psalm 147 14 14 47:14 the Bible says that God made the stars and he gave them all names Aquarius Gemini cancer Sagittarius well if he gave them all names don't you think that he would give them names that had a meaning and shouldn't you find out what those names mean so there we've taken a look at two aspects of astrology and as a science shown in the Bible the stars were made to be signs and God gave them names so then you should I would think investigate the Stars to find out what the signs mean and why they were called what they're called that's astrology not fortune telling astrological science okay let's there there's two there's two Genesis and proverbs uh excuse me Genesis and um what did I say let the uh yeah Proverbs 147 let the uh Stars be for signs and God gave them all names now let me let me ask you another question let me ask you a question here do these constellations influence the way people think that's definitely astrology isn't it to say that constellations influence the way people think if I can show you in the Bible where the Bible confirms that then we have three aspects here we have Genesis saying let them be for signs we have Psalm 147 saying that God names all the stars so we got that their signs that they have names and then let's go to Job 38 job 38:32 in which it says can you bind and this is interesting the sweet influence of pades yeah the pades is a star cluster in the constellation Taurus but the Bible specifically says here that the pades exercises a sweet influence and it and it says can you bind that influence so now there's the Bible telling us in the Book of Job that the pades has an influence and it can't be bound by you unless you know how there's the Bible saying god named all the stars you should find out why and there's the Bible saying that the stars are for signs and it would seem that you would want to find out what the signs mean there's another thing in job 382 in addition to the Sweet influence of pades Job 38 32 says can you loose the bands we'll put that down loose the bands of oron oron is a magnificent constellation so there there's two statements in the Bible in the Book of Job naming the constellations with the same name that we call them today and this is written 5400 years ago and asking you can you bind the sweet influence of Plies can you loose the bands of oron that's astrology there's one other thing interesting and for those of you who really take exception to this and disagree and let's just disagree I mean you know you get mad about it I'm just telling you what it says but let's look at this one job 38:32 it says can you B uh can you bring forth mazero m a z z a r o t h can you bring forth math if you go into to your Christian dictionary and look up the word masero or look it up any place else where you can find a definition of it you'll find that it is the 12 signs of the zodiac it's in the Bible so what I've shown you then and somebody saying well God will have nothing to do with astrology is the Bible says that he said that the Stars should be for signs that's astrology he named the stars that's astrology he said that pades has a sweet influence that oron's bands cannot and that maero cannot be brought forth so he's talking about the influence of constellations the influence of the zodiac so without getting hyper about it and without freaking out and saying hey you know you're evil and all these words because you're saying these things I'm reading you the Bible and I gave you the scriptures now there's another interesting thing if we come over here there's another interesting thing about this because when Jesus was proclaimed in the Christmas story he's proclaimed by the three wise men and that's interesting the three wise men who came from the East well wise men were considered in those days astrologers they practiced astrological science these wise men from the East were are identified so we don't have to guess who they are they were called the mag all you have to do is add a c onto that word and what do you get magic because that's the root of the word magic the Magi were from the tribe of Magi which is from Persia which we know today as Iran they were astrologers now why did the Bible pick astrologers to find Jesus Christ in the Christmas story why didn't they pick an Evangel why didn't the Bible pick an evangelist or uh a pastor or a minister or why pick astrologers to hurl this great proclamation to the world interesting when you read the Christmas story you come up with the idea well they followed the star and so everybody's got these three guys you know where here it's over here oh come on saying come this way and all the stars say hey over here you know you got to follow the star that's what what it means the tribe of Magi of Iran which were astrologers were commissioned by the Persian prophet zoraster and he said study the stars and in Virgo you will find the sign that proclaims the time of the king and at that point in Virgo was the constellation coma c m a and coma is the Virgin with child you can go to a planetarium any college and you can go into that Planetarium and ask whoever administers the thing could he show you the constellation coma and you'll say it it's the Virgin with child and it appeared in Virgo at that point heralding the birth of the king and then the wise men or the Magi or the astrologers came from Iran seeking that King okay now if that wasn't enough let's just take another thing and of course in this one I believe this with all of my heart especially when you look at the new age and everything that's happening in the world but Jesus Christ made a prophecy now remember remember two things one the Book of Genesis said that the uh stars were for signs and the Book of Genesis also the book of of Psalms 147 said that God named all of them okay so now they ask Jesus where will we eat with you the Passover so they're looking for a sign you know show us where he didn't he could have said well let's go we'll go on 22 Jerusalem Street or 22 Main Street he didn't say that he said when you see the man watch this with the picture of water okay that's sign when you see the man with the picture of water the Bible said the stars are for signs and Jesus is identifying what [Applause] Aquarius who named the constellation Aquarius the man with a picture of water it says in Psalm 147 God and Jesus says where you will Su with me is when you see the man with the picture of water in the Aquarian age then follow him into the house now the house means you into yourself and he says he'll show you a large upper room which is meaning the higher Consciousness where you will meet him this squares 100% with Jesus who said in Matthew 6:22 if your eye be single your body will fill with light which means if you practice the single eye by raising your energy above the lower mind into the higher mind then you will fill with wisdom and understanding so you say well I don't think Jesus meant that well you know it's stronger circumstantial evidence that he did simply because as to everything that you're seeing happen in the world today this is the second coming of Christ but it's not as people thought that he's going to come in a physical way because he's not because Jesus Christ said he would not come in a physical way it's as he said within you in the upper room when you see the man with a picture of water and then this is the age of Aquarius and everything is happening in the world today it's turning the world upside down as the prophecies have given but we've missed all of this because of misunderstanding the words of Beware astrologers aren't going to heaven well you're talking about Fortune T you're not talking about those who PR practice the astrological science because if that was the case and astrologers were not going to heaven why did the Bible select astrologers to find Jesus Christ and why did it say he made the Stars be for signs and he named them and he talks about the sweet influence of the pades and the bands of oron it's just a it's just a common scientific fact that the electromagnetic fields that come from these constellations when they arrang in different patterns have different effects on the way people think and in the Aquarian age this age of Consciousness there's a tremendous effect on the way people think so I would beg to differ and I would say indeed uh there is much to be seen concerning astrology in the Bible in fact I'll say I'll show you something that's extremely interesting and that is that if you look I believe it's in Genesis 42 or Genesis 48 48 the patriarch Jacob names his sons and daughter Dina after the 12 signs of the zodiac you say well he had 12 sons and one daughter that would be 13 and there's only 12 signs but you see Levi and Reuben are Gemini the twins Dina is Virgo the Virgin which of course as you know was spoiled in in in in the story we uh we make up these things without really looking deep into the ancient texts to find out and then we get very caught up in defending not the position of Christ not the position of the Bible but we get very caught up in defending hello the system the system and the system is pretty sick the system is extremely corrupt um the pastors that work at the churches are fine people they do the very best they can I may disagree on them theologically but they do the very best they can the people that see on television with screaming for1 thousand bills and all of these things are corrupt people obviously so we're not talking about them but there is tremendous evidence in the Bible as I've shown you to show that the Bible is very very comfortable with the science of astrology and you should too because in there is the virgin in there is Leo the Lion of Judah in there is the aquarium the water man of baptism in there is the Pisces of the fish of the of the fisherman all of these things in there is the Aries the Ram or the Lamb of God and which takes away the cold of the winter much of what you read in your Bible comes out of the mythology of astrology you know a lot of you don't know uh the mythology or the the ancient uh story astrologically of what all of this is about um but basically it concerns Uranus which is a a planet called the son of Heaven Urus representing God was according to the mythology married to gya which is the Earth and they had children and one of the children was Saturn you know him in the Bible as Satan Saturn represents time also known as Kronos time becomes the enemy of all men and women oh what did I do in the past oh what's going to happen in the future oh I don't have enough time I got to do this I got to do that this is the thing that kills us time well according to the myth Saturn took a sickle which represents time you ever see the old father time with a sickle Saturn takes a sickle and castrates Uranus the the symbol there is that God represented by Uranus can no longer then give forth his seed so that we can have growth and we can have you know received from God because we are separated from God because of the activities of Saturn quote unquote Satan but the story goes on that Venus which is love comes out of the ocean which is God's deepest truth and with the AE Aid of the Cyclops which is the single eye okay with the aid of the Cyclops cast Saturn out of heaven and restores Uranus to the rightful position now Uranus is coming as the bridegroom for his bride gya right now and the culmination of the wedding of Uranus and gya takes place in Aquarius where the wedding takes place with the man with the picture of water Allah Jesus at Kaa changing the water into wine changing that which is the lower consciousness of the past into the higher spiritual consciousness of Aquarius and and and not not understanding that we we we place oursel in such an ignorance because we don't realize where these things come even Jesus Christ identifying himself as Amen in Revelation 3 amen the sun god this the name of Amen ra is the Egyptian Sun God and he takes on the Poise of the Egyptian sun god you say well that's ridiculous well it's not because in Matthew 2 the Bible says Mary and Joseph took the Child Jesus Egypt to fulfill the prophecy out of Egypt have I called my son and of course then as you know the son is born on December the 25th the Sun in the sky is born on December the 25th and of course Jesus accommodates that it is crucified and resurrected up uh at the point of the Spring Equinox which you call Easter or the point of the Resurrection The Burnt offering is consumed when the sun consumes Aries the lamb the RAM and then it sits in the northern sky in in the springtime at the right hand of the Eastern sky in summertime comes and that is all to spell out the fact that you have in your abdomen what is called the solar plexus and through meditation you raise the sun up to the pineal which is Aries it sits at the right hemisphere of your brain and summer time comes to your life and that's what Jesus Christ tried to tell you Jesus Christ died not because he was forming a new religion but because he was coming against the traditional religion and trying to show you the kingdom of God is in you I wanted to tell you that the end of the show we have telephone number where you can get information and in addition to that you I hate to see people that get so worked up and so upset when you're trying to share the Bible and what it says you're not saying you know you're you're wrong you're just sharing what the Bible says you've got to be able to think and not have to say well I've got to think like they say just take a look at it I mean you show you something let let let's take a look at Jesus Christ and those who claim uh well you know he's Lord and so forth and so on I said well you're you're not teaching the right thing the basic Foundation of Jesus let's take Jesus and we'll put a line down the center and we'll say okay this is religion or Christianity and we'll put here this is us okay and we teach teach that Jesus is in you okay and religion teaches that he is coming back physically to be seen we say no I can get a lot of trouble for that but they say yes he's coming back okay that's what religion says that's what Christianity says Jesus is coming back to be seen we say no he's not that he's in you now if you look in the Bible what does the Bible say let's let's let the Bible say what did Jesus himself say Jesus himself said in Luke 17:20 the kingdom comes not with observation you can't see it and he said in Luke 17:21 the kingdom is within you so who's right Jesus Christ said the kingdom is within you and it does not come with observation so here you have people saying we can't wait till he comes back he says he's not coming back that you can't see the kingdom of God because it's within you and then as people insist he's coming back Jesus says in John 14:20 Mark it down 14:20 at that time you will know I am in the father you in me and I in you so again he says no I'm not coming back as an outsider I'm inside of you and that's what we're teaching and so then we say a
