Birthday Rosaries from the Rosary Workshop  - RBS2.God The Geometer
 GOD AS ARCHITECT / BUILDER
GEOMETER / CRAFTSMAN
 This wonderful 13c Icon below, images God in the process of creation. He, who numbered the stars and calls each by name, has done so for a reason. Nothing is by chance. As we search out these principles, we are called to worship Him. Note how he delights in the smallest of details including - our birthstones!    
 
 
PSALMS  115:15-16 
      May you be blessed by the LORD, who made heaven and earth.  16 The heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth is given to us.
 
 GOD AS ARCHITECT 
 Above: From the Frontispiece of Bible Moralisse, dated 13C. It is titled: "God as Architect, Builder, Geometer, Craftsman" (Codex Vindobonensis 2554 (French, ca. 1250), in the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek.)

"Science, and particularly geometry and astronomy/astrology, was linked directly to the divine for most medieval scholars. The compass in this 13th century manuscript is a symbol of God's act of Creation. God has created the universe after geometric and harmonic principles, to seek these principles was therefore to seek and worship God."

THE ANCIENT STORY   -  MAZZAROTH
 
AMOS 9:6 
I have built heaven, my upper chamber, and established my vault over the earth; I summon the waters of the sea and pour them upon the surface of the earth, I, the LORD by name.
 
  PROVERBS 8:22
22 The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his ways, before he made anything from the beginning. 23 I was set up from eternity, and of old, before the earth was made. 
 +
24 The depths were not as yet, and I was already conceived, neither had the fountains of waters as yet sprung out. 25 The mountains, with their huge bulk, had not as yet been established: before the hills, I was brought forth: 26 He had not yet made the earth, nor the rivers, nor the poles of the world. 
 +
27 When he prepared the heavens, I was present: when with a certain law, and compass, he enclosed the depths: 28 When he established the sky above, and poised the fountains of waters: 29 When he compassed the sea with its bounds, and set a law to the waters that they should not pass their limits: when he balanced the foundations of the earth; 30 I was with him forming all things: and was delighted every day, playing before him at all times; 
 +
31 playing in the world: and my delights were to be with the children of men. 32 Now, therefore, you children, hear me: blessed are they that keep my ways. 33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not. 34 Blessed is the man that hears me, and that watches daily at my gates, and waits at the posts of my doors. 35 He that shall find me, shall find life, and shall have salvation from the Lord.

GOD, CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, THE STORY OF SALVATION WRITTEN IN THE STARS. COULD HE? WOULD HE? DID HE?
Uncovering God's ancient salvation message in the sky is not easy. But our God is clear about creating, arranging and naming the stars for a specific purpose. Scripture assures us of this and many of these stars still carry their ancient names to back his word. Ask yourself, 'could he be telling of the coming Jewish Messiah?', 'Would he?' Decide for yourself.
 
PSALM 147: 2-5 
 2 The LORD rebuilds Jerusalem, gathers the dispersed of Israel, 3  Heals the broken hearted, binds up their wounds, 4. Numbers all the stars, calls each of them by name. 5 Great is our Lord, vast in power, with wisdom beyond measure.

SCRIPTURAL ORIGIN of BIRTHSTONES, 
THE 12 TRIBES OF ISRAEL AND THE ANCIENT STORY IN THE STARS
The birthstones we use today are rooted in the 12 tribes of Israel and the breastplate stones of the ancient priests garments  God selected each stone and named each one after one of the 12 tribes of Israel according to their birth. They were given to Moses by God and recorded in the Old Testament. (see Exodus 28: 6 )   
+
(This ancient study of the stars has nothing to do with Horoscopes which is against the teachings of the Church.  It is not about fortelling our future, but points instead  to our Salvation.)
