the GLORY of GOD' (Psalm 19:2) DECEMBER - SAGITTARIUS - The Archer - 'going forth' - Blue Topaz, Turquoise: For most of our life we have marveled over the silent heavens above. On a clear night it can appear like a warm assuring blanket, even in the cold. We hear stories about how each star is a tiny 'crack in the heavenly floor', shining through to remind us of God's glory. We tell our children that they are angels in the sky! So many things run through our heads. We forget that people for thousands of years have done the same thing. But when God created the stars, did he just toss them randomly into space - or did he write a message of hope and salvation for all his children to see from the days of the fall of Adam? Scripture tells us he placed and named each of the stars. (Psalm 147:2-5) Why? + 12 SIGNS, 12 TRIBES, 12 STONES, 12 STARS How better to reach all his children than through the stars above. Did he write his love story through 12 signs of the Mazzaroth about the coming of his son before Christ was born? He could - but did he? Today we know there are 12 constellations in the sky, one for each of the 12 tribes of Israel - 'in the order of their birth', commanded God. The most commonly known constellation /tribe combination is Leo (Christ), Leo the Lion of Judah. (he tribe of Judah). It is the last constellation to be read in the Hebrew Calendar, Virgo (Virgin) the first. Each tribe was also assigned a stone by God to Moses. A stone to be worn on the ancient priests garment called the Ephod (Breastplate of Decision). And Revelations 12: 12:1. And a great sign appeared in heaven: 'A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.' What does it mean? (The Church? 12 Apostles? 12 Tribes of Israel? The circular starry story of Her son's life?) The number 12 also symbolizes 'governmental perfection' reminding us that God is in control. Lets go on: |
|
The first sign or constellation in the story of the coming Jewish Messiah according to the ancient Hebrew Calendar is Virgo (Virgin). It lies between LIBRA (Scales of Justice) and LEO (Christ the King). It is one of the largest constellations in the sky. Ancients saw it as the Virgin (seed of the woman, virgin birth) holding an ear of corn in her left hand (promised seed), a baby across her waist (the coming Messiah) and a branch in the right hand (shoot). + HE NUMBERS THE STARS CALLS EACH BY NAME What do these ancient star names reveal? Like Sagittarius, Most constellations still contain stars that carry their original names - names that point out the story of redemption in the sky. To understand better about their meaning and how they told the story, continue reading the information below. Does the word 'Astrology' or 'Horoscope' creep into your head? Forget it, we are uncovering the lie and giving the heavens back to God. We point them out, you decide. IDENTIFYING

PSALM 147:
2-5

Ask for a sign from the LORD, your God; let it be deep as the nether world, or high as the sky! …. 14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you this sign: the virgin shall be with child, and bear a son, and shall name him Immanuel. |

8 For the king trusts in the LORD, stands firm through the love of the Most High. 9 Your hand will reach all your enemies; your right hand will reach your foes! 10 At the time of your coming you will drive them into a furnace. Then the LORD'S anger will consume them, devour them with fire. 11 Even their descendants you will wipe out from the earth, their offspring from the human race. 12 -+Though they intend evil against you, devising plots, they will not succeed, 13 For you will put them to flight; you will aim at them with your bow. 14 Arise, LORD, in your power! We will sing and chant the praise of your might.

WHAT DOES A
CATHOLIC
*ASTRONOMY
VS
ASTROLOGY*
SCRIPTURE
SCHOLAR SAY?
|
THE ZODIAC DOES NOT HAVE ROOTS IN HOROSCOPES What we know as the star constellations - pictures in the night sky - are often called in English the "signs of the Zodiac", is known in Hebrew as "the Mazzeroth", star constellations placed by God Himself, Job 38:31; Isaiah 13:10; Amos 5:8. This placement of the stars by God was done to tell the Gospel plan of redemption before the Bible was put into writing. The word Zodiac is a term used in astronomy, Job 9:9 (lb). God’s message in the stars where the book of creation speaks to man of God's awesome power, Psalm 19:1–6 (Note words “speech,” “language,” “voice” in the text. Then compare verses 7–13.). + THE BIBLE CONDEMNS ASTROLOGY The science of Astronomy is NEVER to be confused with ASTROLOGY which is fortune telling and the Bible condemns. ASTRONOMY is the science dealing with the phenomena outside the earth’s atmosphere but especially concerned with the observable arrangements, motions, and characteristics of the heavenly bodies planets, stars, asteroids and universes in space. The word “astronomy” is based on two Greek words meaning “the law of the stars.” + ASTRONOMY AND ITS VALUES Astronomy is by no means a modern science. Human beings have always been preoccupied with the heavens. The concern of the earliest civilizations with the universe appears to have been mainly intellectual curiosity and the need for navigational orientation were certainly additional factors. (Also remember the star of Bethlehem that guided the 3 kings to the child Jesus. They have been called 'readers of the stars', and 'astronomers'. The term astrologers is questionable) + WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY? The Bible provides some interesting insights about astronomy. According to Genesis 1:14–19 the sun and moon, along with the stars, have the function of giving light on the earth, determining the seasons, and functioning as “signs.” The word “season” may denote festal seasons as well as the annual seasons. The Hebrew calendar was a lunar-solar calendar similar to that of the Babylonians. Hebrew festal seasons were based on the phases of the moon. The function of the heavenly bodies as signs seems to relate to their delineation of the heavens, permitting human beings on earth to orient themselves, navigate land and the high seas and know the stars were created by God. |

STARS ON HER
*GUADALUPAN IMAGE*
MANTLE 
*PATRONESS OF THE AMERICAS* |
|
It is believed that the stars on Our Lady of Guadalupe's garment aligned with the stars in the sky at the moment of her appearance on the tilma of Juan Diego in 1531. This star imagery takes up one half the sky along the horizon and may be seen by finding ORION (which is at her feet, and is the birthplace of stars! Follow along past LEO (Christ the King who rests on her stomach) and past VIRGO virgin) to the constellation CORONA (crown) that sat on her head at that time. It is comforting to sense that she is always looking over us in her starry robe that told the Aztecs that she is the Queen of Heaven. Note too, that the constellation HYDRA (Serpent) lies almost the full length of her to our right. Mary often speaks about how close he is, always nearby. |
