ZODIAC? BIBLICAL ORIGINS? MAZZAROTH: (Hebrew for Zodiac - see Job 38:31-33) ZODIAC: (Greek: 'The Way' - The 'circle or band of 12 constellations' or 'crown of stars' created and named by God according to Genesis 1:14-16). Before entering this site one must understand that Mazzeroth (Zodiac) does NOT in any way support or have its roots in the Horoscope or what we know today as 'Astrology'.

(See what a Catholic Scripture Scholar and a Protestant Minister has to say and decide for yourself) + PSALMS 19:2-6 2 The heavens declare the glory of God; the sky proclaims its builder's craft. 3 One day to the next conveys that message; one night to the next imparts that knowledge. 4 There is no word or sound; no voice is heard; 5 Yet their report goes forth through all the earth, their message, to the ends of the world. God has pitched there a tent for the sun; 6 it comes forth like a bridegroom from his chamber, and like an athlete joyfully runs its course ….. Reread
this beautiful word from Psalms. Do you ever think of the symbolism of
the sun / Son when you read this? ‘God has pitched there a tent for [ his
son ] 6 [ He ] comes forth like a bridegroom from his chamber, and like
an athlete joyfully runs [ his ] course ….., If so, how was this
message of the coming Messiah conveyed to the early desert fathers? Could
God do that?

Thus Aaron shall bear their names on his shoulders as a reminder before the LORD. 13 Make filigree rosettes of gold, 14 as well as two chains of pure gold, twisted like cords, and fasten the cordlike chains to the filigree rosettes. + BREASTPIECE OF DECISION AS WORN BY ELI AS HE LISTENS TO SAMUEL

FROM THE
HEBREW CALENDER
*MAZZEROTH*
THE GOSPEL
IN THE STARS
|
PRE-CHRISTIAN AUDIENCE MAZZAROTH – Hebrew for ZODIAC – Represents the band of stars that wrap around the sky containing 12 major signs (constellations), one for each of the 12 tribes of Judah (Israel.) (see book of Job below) – To read the 12 signs of the Zodiac (Greek ‘the way’ or ‘the path.’) and their 36 associated (Decans) constellations correctly, one must go to the Hebrew calendar and start in September and Virgo the virgin. If we start in January as we normally do in the Western calendar, the story of the divine message will not be read correctly. (This message was directed to a pre Christian audience!) + 'It is believed that the ancient Hebrews were given the names of the ancient Mazzeroth (Zodiac - the band of 12 constellations), the names, figures and their meanings by Yahweh (G_d) from the time of Adam and the time of creation when he placed and named each one. This story of redemption would have passed from Adam to his children and carried from one generation to the next. It was believed that it was corrupted by the Babylonians during the time they built the tower of Babel (Genesis). Also over time, many of the meanings and root names were lost as the Hebrew language underwent numerous changes. + And as mentioned above, the Hebrew calendar was used, starting with September and Virgo - the virgin woman, ending with Leo - the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, to reveal the Hebrew Messiah. Job knew, and the book of Job is one of the oldest books in the Old Testament. + JOB: 38:31-33 31 Have you fitted a curb to the Pleiades, or loosened the bonds of Orion? 32 Can you bring forth the Mazzaroth in their season, or guide the Bear with its train? 33 Do you know the ordinances of the heavens; can you put into effect their plan on the earth? What
does this mean? 'can you put into effect their plan on the earth?'
read that again! 'can you put into effect their plan on the earth?'
Remember, we have a tendency to relate the word ZODIAC with Astrology.
It does not have its origins in and has nothing to do with Astrology (Astrology
has twisted/adopted the word Zodiac to its own purpose and use in an attempt
to put other gods before us. This is a perfect example of how evil has
tried to destroy the goodness of the word of God) It is the God of
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who placed and named every star in the heavens.

STARS STILL
CARRY
*THEIR
ANCIENT NAMES*
IS THIS
THE PROOF?
|
+ ARE THESE ANCIENT NAMES PROOF? Various stars in each of the 12 constellations (signs), plus the smaller constellations clustered around them continue the story of the coming of the Messiah adding to the richness of the following ‘CHAPTERS’ if you will - in this great story written in the heavens by the hand of God. Some of those ancient stars that still carry their original names are mentioned below and under each month. They have their origins in the Hebrew (H), Arabic (A), Greek (G), Chaldean (C) and Egyptian (E) languages. But is believed originally to have been given to Adam by Yawheh (God) himself as those who followed knew the story, certainly it was not a mystery to Job. We will point out some of the 3 constellations (decans) that are associated with each of the 12. (36 + 12 = 48) There is much more to study but our intention here is to unearth that which has been hidden by other agendas, not of God and bring it back into his glory. + WHAT IS THE SHEEPFOLD? A beautiful example is in the constellation Big Dipper/Ursa Major or the more ancient name of 'Sheepfold' (a pen where sheep are held) '. The stars in the handle of the 'dipper' still carry the names of wandering sheep leaving the ancient fenced in 'Sheepfold'. The sickle (from the constellation Bootes (Christ the Shepherder) is pointing towards the stars of the sheepfold, the 'handle' of the dipper – the handle stars are lost sheep coming out of the sheepfold. + THE SHEEPGATE? The 'sheepgate' is Christ. Read John 10. So Jesus said again, "Amen, amen, I say to you, I am the gate for the sheep. (some translations say I am the sheep gate.) 8 The stars still carrying the ancient names of lost and wandering sheep are: DUBEH: 'flock', ALIOTH: 'she goat', MIZAR: 'separate', AL COR: 'the lamb', AL KAID: 'the assembled' . Read on there is much more under individual months. It gets better! + TELLING OF THE COMING OF THE MESSIAH! So, before we begin to read the Gospel as written in the stars thousands of years ago (3500 to 5000 years ago), it is important to remember that some of the stars have been read and changed since ancient times by many cultures, local myths and peoples. (including Astrology/Horoscopes) Here we concentrate on a very simple overview of the Judeo/Christian message given to us by the desert fathers who, we learn carried it very carefully by word of mouth - rote - from one generation to the next, probably from the time of Adam. Is it true or just a coincidence? You decide. |
SYMBOLISM
IN NUMBERS
*THE
NUMBER 12*
WHAT DOES
IT ALL MEAN?
|
A crown of 12 stars – what does it all mean? The number 12 is significant in scripture - Our first thoughts may go to Mary and her crown of 12 stars. Revelations 12 tells of the woman with the crown of 12 stars. Why 12? Do they represent the 12 tribes of Israel? Or we may think of 12 months in the year, the 12 constellations called forth during our birthday. Jesus was 12 when he went to the Synagogue and spoke to the elders. AND WHAT IF: the 12 stars around Mary's head, were the 12 'signs' that told the story of the coming birth of her son, Jesus? Does that remind you of the rosary itself which tells the story of the Life of Jesus? Our Holy Father Francis calls "the love story"? + But also think of the way God works through man: 12 tribes of Judah (Israel) (12 thrones) and the 12 Apostles. The Heavenly Jerusalem has 12 pearls, 12 foundations and the measurements are 12,000 furlongs and the wall, 144 (12x12) cubits. Also considered to be ‘the governmental perfection’ or the’ mystical number of God’s chosen people’. + In Exodus 28, God showed Aaron how to make the ephod and breastplate for the garment of the high priest and his descendants. One stone was assigned to each of the 12 tribes of Israel. It was believed each stone carried not only the name of the tribe but also the attributes of that tribe. And that each stone had special healing powers - for that tribe - from heaven. (see image of the Ephod by scrolling back up) |

BIRTHSTONES*
...
TO TODAY'S CELEBRATION
With the thought that maybe, just maybe the 12 stars around Mary's head told the story of the coming of her son Jesus through the 12 signs, we carry the story telling one step further by dedicating the 12 birthstone rosaries to the Virgin Mary and her son Jesus. |
