The news article linked to below: “Has Your Horoscope Changed?”, seeks to educate the reader about the difference between Sidereal and Tropical Astrology by saying that Sidereal Astrology uses the constellations to determine one’s horoscope while Tropical Astrology uses the placement of the Sun at the time of the Spring Equinox, and that most horoscopes are based on Tropical Astrology. This is true, but their definition of Sidereal Astrology is incorrect. In Sidereal Astrology or Sacred Astronomy, we observe the placement of the Sun and the planets in our Solar System from an exact location and time in history and within a fixed background of stars. It is therefore far more accurate than the Tropical Astrology that the world goes by.
As an example of the difference between Sidereal and Tropical Astrology, Tropical Astrology says the Sun was in the sign of Leo when I was born, and since I have a good deal of the personality traits ordinarily associated with people born under the sign of Leo, I never questioned it until I became fascinated with Observational Astronomy, which is another name for Sidereal Astrology without the emphasis on seeking personalized omens in the stars, which is against God’s will and shouldn’t be done.
When I discovered that Astrologers typically follow Tropical Astrology, I was curious to see what my Sun sign would be using Observational Astronomy or Sidereal Astrology. What I found was that the Sun was squarely in the sign of Cancer when I was born, and Cancer is a sign I don’t feel much of an affinity with based on the personality traits that have been assigned to it by traditional Astrologers.
However, when I looked at the location of the planets when I was born and noted that four major planets were grouped in the sign of Leo on that day, it suddenly was clear why I felt so Leonine in nature! Though the placement of the Sun and Moon have a great bearing on who we are at birth, the major planets have a good deal of bearing in this also.
Nonetheless, who we become in Yahshua Ha Mashiach is not subject to anything on the Earth or in Heaven, but is only subject to the will of God and the love of Christ. In other words, who we are born as is not as important to God as who we will become in Christ, which the stars and planets have no bearing over if we are covered by Christ’s love and are under God’s authority.
Though I have viewed the Signs in the Heavens at the time of a person’s birth, I have never done it to determine their fortune! Instead, I have looked at the signs on someone’s birthday to see what these reveal about who they are and what they can become in Christ.
At one point in my ministry, I came across a fellow preacher who had a fascination for the Gospel in the Stars and developed what he called “Christology Reports” based on his view of the Star Gospel meaning behind the Sun, Moon, star constellations, and planets at the time of a person's birth. Though I consider him to be a friend and much of what he teaches about the stars is true, he disagreed with some of my interpretations of the meanings behind the signs and planets, and I therefore feel that a few of his assumptions are incorrect. Nonetheless, I think the idea behind Christology Reports is a truly godly one that can be a blessing to certain people.
After doing several Christology Reports on my own, I have discovered that these can show people that they have a valuable purpose in Christ’s Kingdom. I also have discovered that they can reveal a little about what God’s purpose for them might be. However, the irony in doing a Christology Report is that this vision of any given person’s place in God’s Kingdom at birth cannot materialize unless they first learn to believe in Christ and follow God’s will for their lives in Christ rather than the dictates of the stars or another person’s opinion.
The truth, then, is that the stars cannot and should not govern what we will do or how we will act! Because, when we are followers of Christ, signs and omens no longer mean anything to us personally, but only have a corporate impact based on what they reveal about God’s will at any given point in history.
Has Your Horoscope Changed?

Fans of the Zodiac have been bombarded with the unsettling news that their astrological sign may not be what they thought.
The horror of switching from Gemini to Taurus had people rushing to the Web for answers, sending searches for "zodiac signs" into the stratosphere.
So has your sign changed? Probably not. But it all depends on what kind of astrology you follow. Let us explain.
It may come as a surprise that there are different branches of astrology. A main Eastern form, for example, called Sidereal astrology, looks to the background stars, those famous constellations, as its guide.
Western astrology -- which uses the zodiac -- has its signs fixed to the seasons. Most Westerners, and all those horoscope pages we eagerly check, go by the zodiac. These signs follow what early astrologers called star signs, whose reference points are the tropics that form a ring around the earth. The zodiac is based on our relationship to the sun, not the stars.
The back story: About 2,000 years ago, the astrological signs and the astronomical ones were the same. But not anymore. The locations of the signs are based on the sun's location on the first day of spring. That location in the sky has slowly drifted westward because of something called "precession" -- the earth continually wobbles (a scientific term for a slight motion) every 26,000 years. Since the constellations were first identified, they have shifted some 30 degrees. Translation: The signs have slipped about a month westward, relative to the stars.
What this means to you: If you follow astrology that is linked to the constellations, your sign would go from say, a Gemini to a Taurus. You could even have a 13th sign, Ophiuchus, which you may have read about.
"It's a huge point of confusion for the public," says Bing Quock, assistant director of Morrison Planetarium at the California Academy of Sciences. For those who follow Western astrology, "astrologers are not talking about the constellations at all. When an astrologer says the sun is in a certain sign, they're talking about the sign, the location relative to the equinox. They're not talking about the location of the constellations. "
In short, if you follow the Sidereal astrology, the Eastern branch, your sign may have shifted. (And most likely, no surprise to you at all: This news is hundreds of years old).
But for the rest of us, our horoscope, and our signs, are still the same.

According to astronomers, a Blue Moon is the second of two Full Moons that fall in any given Solar Month, and this is a relatively rare occurrence. Interestingly, there is a second Full Moon occurring in December 2009, which will be visible in clear skies on New Year’s Eve, December 31st, 2009. In the Gospel in the Stars, there is something highly important about this particular Full Moon, and not just because it is a Blue Moon. In allegorical terms, let me explain what the Blue Moon of 2009 signifies spiritually for us today.
This second Full Moon of December will appear near to the constellation Orion’s upraised sword, which touches the ecliptic or Sun’s path through the heavens each day. Orion is a decan sign of Taurus the Bull, and the first Full Moon of December 2009 was housed in Taurus. In its relationship to neighboring Gemini, the sign of Taurus is an extremely important key in the Gospel in the Stars.
First of all, as explained thoroughly in my book “The Language of God in the Universe,” Orion represents Yahshua as the Redeeming God of Israel who died on the Cross to pay for our sins. Secondly, Orion signifies Yahshua as the Conquering King that will lead all the Gentiles who love Him to conquer the wicked and reign on Earth with Him for a thousand years in what is known as Christ’s Millennial Kingdom. But no study of Orion would be complete without a study of Taurus, since Orion is a decan of Taurus.
Looking at Taurus in a biblical context, it first of all signifies the Tribe of Joseph - as shown by Moses’ description of Joseph’s glory being like that of a firstborn bull with the horns of a wild ox (Deuteronomy 33:17). The patriarch Joseph became the most powerful and renowned of all Jacob’s sons, though he had to lose almost all semblance of his identity as an Israelite before he did so. This identifies Joseph with the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel. In addition, Joseph had two sons named Ephraim and Manasseh, and they had an Egyptian (and hence non-Israelite) mother. Therefore, the Tribe of Joseph also allegorically represents the Gentiles (i.e. non-Jews) that will come to love the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel.
But this connection of Taurus to the Tribe of Joseph is just one of many allegorical layers of meaning that can be given to this sign. Another meaning given to it via the Bible is as a symbol of the sacrificial bull offered to Yahweh by the Israelites as a temporary atonement for sin. Likewise, it signifies Yahshua, who died on the Cross outside Jerusalem’s walls just as the bulls were sacrificed outside of them. However, Taurus the Bull has two horns indicating that it has a dual nature just as Orion does. On the one hand, it is a holy symbol of God’s grace, love and forgiveness on the Gentiles who have chosen to love and follow His Son. But on the other it signifies God’s wrath upon and anger toward those Gentiles who have chosen to hate Yahshua and ignore His calls for repentance and regeneration.
As the traditional bastion of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel, the symbolism behind Taurus the Bull is also tied to the nation of Europe. Ominously, however, the European Union has identified itself not with the biblical Joseph but with the mythology surrounding the pagan god Zeus and Europa. Europa was a maiden of Phoenicia that the top god of Greece named Zeus lusted after and wanted to rape. To get near to Europa, who tended her father’s cattle herds, Zeus changed himself into a tame white bull and mingled with the herd. Eventually, Europa grew so fond of the white bull that she dared to climb up on his back and Zeus abducted her at that moment. In like fashion, after being seduced by it, the European nations, Great Britain and the Americas have embraced Hellenistic culture and humanism with near religious fervor. As such, Hellenism and humanism have become an indelible part of the political systems of the West, which are now all seeking to unite as one under one political and ideological banner. This political union has been dubbed the New World Order.
The myth of Zeus and Europa holds several more kernels of truth to it, not the least of which is that Zeus is still masquerading as a white bull in the form of a unicorn, which also happens to be a symbol for Yahshua as a conquering King. What few people realize is that the unicorn can serve as a symbol for either one of Taurus’ horns. Since there are two horns on a bull, they can and do symbolize the two natures of the animal that they are connected to. In the case of Europe and America, one of these horns allegorically signifies the followers of the false god Zeus, who espouses Hellenistic culture and the philosophy of humanism, where men can readily become gods. Just look at how figures such as Abraham Lincoln have taken on god status in America. If you doubt this, just go to Washington, DC, where a gigantic idol of Lincoln sits on a huge throne housed in its own magnificent Grecian style (and hence Hellenistic) temple! Isn’t this openly blasphemous? I surely think so!
In true opposition, the other horn of the bull allegorically signifies those Gentiles who, like Joseph’s two sons, have a mixed pagan and godly heritage and have become grafted-in Israelites that oppose humanism and Hellenism and seek to follow Yahweh, His Son and the Holy Spirit rather than the dictates of fallen and sinful men. These people are truly represented by a white unicorn, whereas those who follow the old Zeus religion of the serpent are best represented by a black unicorn. But - as always - Satan loves to masquerade as an Angel of Light rather than the dark demon and lord of chaos that he is!
In today’s world, Taurus has a clear connection to the European Union, which has adopted the symbol of Zeus as a bull with Europa riding on his back as a defining symbol. In the heavens, this myth is directly connected to Taurus, which has a brilliant little star cluster named the Pleiades riding on its back that can also be identified with Europe. In the Bible, this bull signifies the Beast out of the Sea in the Book of Revelation, and the star cluster called the Pleiades represents the Woman or Harlot that rides this Beast.
It is therefore no coincidence that many Bible prophecy teachers have indicated that the European Union may be connected to the revived Roman Empire identified as Babylon the Great in the Book of Revelation. Interestingly, though it hasn’t happened yet, there is a good likelihood that Europe will unite itself with the Middle East. This may happen via the entrance of the nation of Turkey (which was once part of ancient Persia) into the European Union, thereby truly beginning to mimic the Roman Empire of ancient times that included North Africa and portions of the Middle East.
I find this extremely interesting, considering that this Blue Moon on December 31st, 2009 will be partially eclipsed over Europe and Asia, and there will also be a Lunar Eclipse of a Full Moon directly over Orion’s upraised sword on December 21st, 2010, which will be visible from anywhere in North America. I believe the December 2010 Lunar Eclipse will mark the beginning of the Tribulation period. In addition, this Lunar Eclipse will occur exactly two years before the Mayan date for the end of the world: December 21st, 2012, a date that is highly significant in the Gospel in the Stars and is symbolically tied directly to the opening plagues in the Book of Revelation that are unleashed by the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
The celestial signs that will appear in the heavens on the Mayan date for the end of the world (and many other celestial signs) are discussed at length in my book: “The Language of God in Prophecy,” though the true significance of the Mayan calendar is fully explained in my book “The Language of God in History.” I invite you to read these books today so that you are not left behind and befuddled in the coming epic fray.

So you see, by its position near the sword tip of Orion and its connection to the Lunar Eclipse over that same sword on December 21st, 2010, this Blue Moon at the end of 2009 signifies that the world as we know it is soon about to end. In fact, there is only one year left before the time that the prophet Jeremiah called the time of Jacob’s Trouble (Jeremiah 30:7). In modern terminology, this same time period is known as the seven-year Tribulation that was spoken of by the prophet Daniel as the Seventieth Week, which is an allegorical description of the final seven-year “week” of human history that is currently under the sway of Satan and his demons, but will soon be ruled over by the resurrected Christ Himself from a literal throne in Israel.
Beware lest you be fooled by Christ’s coming imposter, however, for he too is destined to come soon as the diabolical figure known as the Antichrist - a mortal leader of men that will successfully masquerade as the Son of God in order to deceive and enslave mankind under Satan’s totalitarian grip. Sadly, many now in the apostate church who will be left behind in the coming Rapture will accept this mortal imposter of the immortal Yahshua as their Messiah, and they will be so deceived by this Antichrist that they will not recognize his deception until it is too late.
Being forewarned is forearmed, and that is why I am making this year-end appeal to you all to stop procrastinating and buy my books, read them alongside the Bible, and share them with those you love for yours and their safety and salvation. If you are perplexed and frightened by the problems of the times, and do not know where to turn or to whom to believe, I guarantee that my Language of God Series Books coupled with the Word of God have all the answers that you seek!

Tied to the 2012 Mayan World End Date

In the following bit of detective work, it will be shown that the anticipated dawning of the Age of Aquarius has indeed arrived, and - true to the hype - it does mark the dawn of a New Age of Spirituality that will be accompanied by major political, economic and spiritual upheavals. The clue that the Age of Aquarius has arrived is hidden in the old song about its arrival that was sung by the hip 60’s rock band called the 5th Dimension. However, this song’s lyrics reflects knowledge that can only have been known in occult circles or by sacred astronomers who were familiar with God’s time line hidden and preserved in the Mazzaroth. Here are the opening lyrics to that ethereal old song:
When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius…
Fascinatingly, the signs in the heavens that are pinpointed in this song occurred early in 2009, and truly do herald the dawning of the Age of Aquarius. But before these signs in the heavens can be explained satisfactorily, the concept of Precession and its relationship to the structure of the Zodiac must be understood. Simply put, the 12 Houses of the Zodiac are 12 constellations that the Sun passes through each day from east to west, and the path that the Sun takes through the sky is called the Ecliptic. However, due to the wobble caused by the Earth’s tilted axis, the Sun’s position appears to be moving slowly backward through the Zodiac from west to east on the Spring and Fall Equinoxes and on the solstices. For this reason, though the Sun rose due east in the sign of Taurus in 4000 BC on the Spring Equinox, it now rises just within the borders of the constellation of Aquarius on that same day.
Now, it takes the Sun 2,160 years to pass through the 30 degrees demarcation for each sign of the Zodiac along the Ecliptic. This 2,160 year period is known as a Precessional Age, and there are 12 Precessional Ages that mark the retrograde path of the Sun through each Zodiac Sign. When added together, these 12 Ages mark one full 25,920-year Precessional Cycle of time.
Interestingly, the Age of Aquarius was preceded by the Age of Pisces the Fishes, which began around 150 BC. This means that the entire New Testament Church Age has coincided with the Age of Pisces. In my books, I reveal how the sign of Pisces symbolizes the Sign of Jonah that Yahshua came to reveal to mankind. Likewise, the preceding 2,160-year Age of Aries the Ram was marked by the Bible’s Sacrificial Age when Tabernacle and Temple sacrifices centered around the offering of a lamb or ram on the altar. Before that, the Patriarchal Age was marked by the Sign of Taurus the Bull, and both Aries and Taurus mark a sacred altar in Heaven that signify Yahshua in His divine role as the Lamb of God and perfect atonement sacrifice for sin. In the Book of 1 Enoch, the antediluvian and Post-Flood patriarchs up to Abraham were represented as bulls or oxen in one of Enoch’s prophetic visions, while the leaders of Israel after Jacob and under the Law of Moses were represented by rams and sheep (1 Enoch 89:1-27).
The amazing correlation between the Precessional position of the Sun and the prophetic spiritual Age we are in is important to the understanding of Bible Prophecy. As the antediluvian Sethite patriarch Enoch prophesied, nothing happens by accident in the heavens surrounding our Earth. Every star, meteor, asteroid, planet, moon, sun, nebula, and star cluster has some allegorical and spiritual meaning connected to the Gospel in the Stars that Enoch called the Heavenly Tablets. In the Star Gospel, the entire circle of the Zodiac has a Messianic and spiritual message. Every portion of the Zodiac also reveals certain aspects of mankind’s spiritual destiny and Yahshua’s ministry to mankind.
Saturn is no exception. As the 7th of the major celestial bodies in our Solar System out from the Sun (1. Mercury, 2. Venus, 3. Moon, 4. Earth, 5. Mars, 6. Jupiter, 7. Saturn), Saturn has a connection to the seventh day of the week, which is called Shabbat or the Sabbath by all professing Jews and Messianics. In fact, in Hebrew, the 7th Planet is called “Shabbatai” after the Sabbath day, when God rested after the six Great Days of Creation Week. However, this seventh day of rest for God was cut short when Satan destroyed and corrupted the perfection of Yahweh’s Creation with sin and rebellion against God.
Because the ringed planet Saturn is tied to the Sabbath, it has an undeniable connection to Christ’s Millennial Rule during the Seventh Great Day of the Lord. Indeed, the rings of the planet Saturn rightfully represent Yahshua’s many Royal Crowns, while the reddish color of the neighboring planet Jupiter signifies Yahshua as the Redeemer who sacrificed himself for us on the Cross. However, since Satan is the thief who stole the rulership of this world from mankind when they fell, Saturn has also been associated with Satan in occult circles.
Nonetheless, God knew this was going to happen and had a plan to reconcile mankind’s relationship with Himself. This centered around an allotment of six thousand years for Satan’s evil-doing to continue to adversely affect humanity’s understanding of and relationship with the one true God. After this, Satan’s reign of terror over mankind would be put to an end by a thousand-year Great Day of rest and peace under the benevolent and righteous rulership of Yahshua Ha Mashiach (i.e. Jesus the Messiah).
In my book: “The Language of God in Prophecy,” it is shown that the 7th Great Day of the Lord likely officially began on the Rosh Hashanah of September 11th and 12th in 1999 AD. By Jewish reckoning, this year spanned to the next Rosh Hashanah in September of 2000. Therefore, the year 2000 was officially the first year of the 1,000 year Great Day of the Lord. Since this is the case, the birth pangs that the prophet Micah spoke of, which are to occur before and during the Tribulation, should have already begun (Micah 4:9-13: 1 Thess. 5:2-3). Indeed, we can now see the evidence of this with the world economic collapse and the global push for the setting up of the one-world government and religious system that’s been dubbed the New World Order but that Christians know is the Antichrist’s kingdom.
Besides the earthly signs, there have been many celestial signs that the Great Tribulation followed by Yahshua’s Second Coming is very near. One of the first indicators that Yahshua’s return is imminent can be found in the Mayan Calendar’s end date for this world cycle. According to their calendar, the judgment and destruction of this world’s demonically-controlled political, communication, and economic systems will begin full-throttle on December 21st, 2012, which will be a few months into the 13th Jewish year of the 7th Great Day of the Lord since Adam and Eve’s fall from Grace.
This 7th Great Day that began on Rosh Hashanah signals the imminence of the coming of the Tribulation, Armageddon, and the Millennial Rule of Christ. In fact, just as there are ten days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement, there are to be ten years between the first Rosh Hashanah of this 7th Great Day in 1999 and the Rosh Hashanah occurring in 2010, which may mark the beginning of the 7-year Tribulation period. Then, two years into the Tribulation, amazing signs in the heavens will appear on December 21st, 2012 that are meant to announce the release of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse to begin their dreaded rides over the Earth. To learn more about the astounding heavenly signs that will announce the release of the Four Horsemen on the Winter Solstice of 2012, see my previous 3-part article (click the following links to access the article parts):

So that the events of the Tribulation can occur as ordained before the Kingdom of God on Earth is set up, God has allowed Satan to be “the prince of the power of the air” that rules the world of electronic and digital mass communication via satellite, television, radio and air travel (Ephesians 2:1-3). Thank our Father God that in the near future, Satan will be permanently dethroned and Yahshua will take His rightful place as the Ruler of the Earth and co-ruler of the Universe with our Father Yahweh! But in the meantime, through a massive electrical storm on the planet Saturn, God is letting the world know that the Age of Aquarius is indeed dawning and Satan is presently in control of the electronic airwaves and satellite communications so that his short reign over the whole Earth via the Antichrist’s religious and political system can take place.
In fact, ever since January 2009, Saturn has been the home to an ongoing massive electrical storm that shows no signs of slowing down any time soon. Due to the spiritual meaning of Saturn as Yahshua’s Crown being temporarily in the hands of Satan, the electrical storm on this planet is likely a sign that Satan is doing all he can to destroy mankind before Yahshua arrives to wrestle His crown out of Satan’s clutches forever. In keeping with Satan’s malevolent purpose for it, even all of the modern military equipment being manufactured in the United States and elsewhere today is heavily dependent on sophisticated digital electronic equipment for its use on the battlefield.
According to the Language of God, then, this electrical storm on Saturn is a physical indication that the spiritual battle between Yahshua and Satan is now reaching epic proportions and the end of the Age that Yahshua warned His disciples about is imminent (Matthew 24:3-30). In support of this, there have been quite a few signs in the heavens over the past few years that indicate that the End Times have arrived. One of these was the startling appearance of three comets in the constellation Perseus the Breaker between 1996 and 2006. These were Comet Hyakutake in 1996, Comet Hale-Bopp in 1997, and Comet Holmes in 2006. Intriguingly, in addition to signifying Yahshua as the breaker of Satan’s control of the world, Perseus symbolizes David slaying Goliath and chopping off his head and - per the Book of Jasher - Esau’s slaying of Cush’s son Nimrod, the world’s first Post-Flood dictator and a type of Antichrist (Jasher 27:2-12).
In addition to the prophetic import of the comets in Perseus, there were full Lunar Eclipses in the sign of Pisces with the Moon in conjunction with the planet Saturn on the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles on September 27th in 1996 and on September 17th in 1997. Fascinatingly, the two fish of Pisces signify the Two Houses of Israel - with one house consisting of Messianic Jews, and the other of Gentile believers, and the Feast of Sukkot or Tabernacles signifies the ingathering of both houses into one body during the Millennial Rule of Christ. Since 1997, the number of Messianic Jews worldwide has skyrocketed, and this is a sign from Yahweh that the joining of the Two Houses of Israel into one will soon be fully accomplished!
In addition to these past events, there are two significant Solar Eclipses falling on the 1st of Av on the Jewish Calendar in both 2009 and 2010. These Solar Eclipses in Cancer the Crab on July 22nd in 2009 and in Gemini the Twins on July 11th in 2010 likely mark the final year before the seven-year Tribulation period begins. The 1st of Av marks the beginning of a period of mourning for Jews that reaches its climax on the 9th of Av - the ominous day when both the First and the Second Temple to Yahweh in Jerusalem were destroyed. It therefore seems likely that the time between these 1st of Av eclipses is meant as a warning to the Jews that “the time of Jacob’s trouble” that is to come before Yahshua’s reign over the Earth is imminent (Jeremiah 30:4-9).
All these celestial events have led up to the signs that appeared in the heavens on February 16th, 2009. On that day, the first heavenly sign could be seen in the position of the Sun, which was in the constellation of Aquarius the Water-Bearer. As a part of the Gospel in the Stars, Aquarius represents each disciple of Christ’s death in baptism and their receipt of the Holy Spirit as well as the divinely sent destruction of the Earth by water and Noah’s deliverance during the Great Flood. However, as my earlier article “As It Was in The Days of Noah” showed, it now signifies that mankind has finally arrived at a time in history much like it was in the days of Noah just before the Flood.
Later on the night of February 16th, the heavenly signs that were identified in the song “Aquarius” appeared after the sign of Aquarius set below the western horizon. At that time, the neighboring sign of Capricorn was just above the western horizon and Jupiter was in conjunction with Mars there. In addition, the Moon was in the sign of Libra the Scales, and Libra is the Seventh Sign or Seventh House of the Sun from Aries, which is considered the First House of the Sun today (though it was likely Virgo in ancient times). These are the exact same signs that the 5th Dimension’s song lyrics mentioned as a symbol that the dawning of the Age of Aquarius has arrived!
Here is a graphic of the signs in the heavens on February 16th, 2009:
http://pillar-of-enoch.com/graphics/aquarius/2-16-09_Age-Aquarius.jpg
As if to confirm that what was seen in the heavens on February 16th was indeed a warning of the beginning of a new Age, another major sign appeared in the heavens on February 23rd, 2009. At that time, the eerie green double-tailed comet named Lulin after the Chinese observatory in Taiwan that discovered it appeared in conjunction with the planet Saturn in the Sign of Leo the Lion along with a spectacular line up of other planets in the sign of Capricorn the Goat-fish.
Here is a composite graphic showing Saturn and Lulin in conjunction in Leo and the line up of Neptune, the Moon, Mars, Jupiter and Mercury in Capricorn on February 23rd, 2009:
http://pillar-of-enoch.com/graphics/aquarius/2-23-09_Capricorn-Lulin.jpg
Intriguingly, as shown in my book “The Language of God in History,” Sethite astronomers allegorically associated the sign of Leo with China in the End Times, and Capricorn with the non-coastal Western and Midwestern states of the United States and most of Mexico, while the sign of Aquarius governs the eastern half of the United States, Central America, and western South America. Now, Capricorn is the sign that represents the salvation of Noah and the destruction of the Nephilim during the Great Flood, and Neptune (as a planet that is not visible to the naked eye) is a planet that signifies Noah, who was likely a hermit who did God’s will in secret and thereby received the epithet “the far distant” in ancient times.
In its Sethite association with the United States, Capricorn may also signify the conservative Tea Party movement that is resisting the schemes of the Devil to take over the United States and the world before Christ’s return. In addition, the dark-faced New Moon is a symbol of Satan’s malevolent darkness and destructive force, but its power is negated by the bright light of Saturn and Jupiter, which signify the greatness of Yahshua as the Kings of Kings and our Kinsmen Redeemer or Savior. In addition, Mars represents the efficacy of Yahshua’s shed blood for the healing and restoration of all the saints, but in this case it also likely signifies the blood of the Christian martyrs around the world today that are constantly being hunted down and killed by wicked non-believers for practicing their faith openly and refusing to deny Christ.
So what does it mean to mankind now that the Age of Aquarius has evidently arrived? Well, the old song “Aquarius” tells us what it signifies to occult and New Age practitioners, who are expecting a coming Age of unprecedented global co-operation, love and understanding. As the lyrics state:
Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind's true liberation
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius!
The age of Aquarius!
Aquarius! Aquarius!
However, according to Bible prophecy, a time of spiritual darkness and global religious deception is supposed to occur before any true and lasting global peace, love and co-operation can be ushered in by the return of Yahshua and His army of saints from Heaven (See 2 Thessalonians 2:2-12). This is because the world is expecting a human savior (i.e. “the man of sin” and “the lawless one” of 2 Thessalonians 2), but no human government or agency will be able to secure the peace on Earth that most of the unsaved people of the West and East are so desperately seeking.
In fact, the Bible warns that only a supernaturally established empire with the resurrected Yahshua Ha Mashiach reigning as the Kings of kings over all mankind will be able to succeed in providing mankind with a lasting and benevolent government of peace (See Revelation 19:11-21), and therein lies the problem. If the majority of biblically unschooled and thereby spiritually dead people are expecting the current and coming economic, religious and political upheavals to lead to a time when mankind can unite on all fronts and achieve global peace and prosperity, they will most certainly work to assure its successful implementation - no matter what it takes.

Sacred Astronomy - The Antithesis of Astrology
This essay can be freely distributed to skeptics to show them the biblical, and historical basis for believing that there is a Gospel in the Stars. It conclusively shows that this heavenly record in the stars has a divine origin, and a purpose that is, and always was revealed through the forty-eight ancient constellations of the Zodiac. It is a compilation of copyrighted sections taken from all four books in the Language of God Book Series, with some new material added, and it is being presented here as a free supplement that can be shared with friends and family when attempting to educate them about the wonders that God alone wrote into in the heavens.

On February 20th, 2008, between 8 and 10 pm CST, there was a full Lunar Eclipse in the sign of Leo that I was fortunate enough to be able to see from my home's front window in the Chicago area of the USA. It was unusually clear that night, but bitter cold! Thankfully, the whole waxing and waning eclipse was visible from my front window before the moon slipped up too high on the ecliptic to be seen, as it was then over my house.
The eclipse occurred when the Full Moon was centered between the star Regulus and the prominently-ringed giant gas planet Saturn, also housed in Leo. During a Lunar Eclipse, the Moon takes on an eerie reddish hue reminiscent of blood. I think this is significant, especially because eclipsed Full Moons appeared on the night that the Angel of Death plagued Egypt on the very first Passover, as well as on the Passover night after Yahshua (Jesus) was crucified on the Cross.
As some of you may know from my previous posts here (or from the pdf supplements and excerpts at my http://pillar-of-enoch.com/ web site), the sign of Leo represents the Lion of Judah, Yahshua Ha Mashiach (i.e. Jesus the Anointed One), Saturn represents the kingship and Sabbath rest of God, and Regulus is the king star associated with the birth and coronation of kings that was prominently in conjunction with the Messiah planet Jupiter at the time of Yahshua's birth in 3 BC.
While the Moon was being eclipsed in Leo, the Sun was in the exact center of the sign of Aquarius on the other side of the world, and was flanked on either side by two more distant gas giant planets: Uranus and Neptune. In addition, Venus was in Capricorn and Jupiter was in Sagittarius. These two signs have good connotations in the Star Gospel, as Capricorn can be associated with Noah and his deliverance through the horrible judgment of the Great Flood, and Sagittarius signifies the dual purpose of Christ as a blood sacrifice for sin, and a conquering king who vanquishes Satan forever.
However, both of these signs have a negative side that has to do with the Nephilim, who were part human and part animal monsters that were genetically spliced together by the fallen angels and their wives. Unfortunately for humankind, this warped effort to play God in the past turned deadly when their Nephilim children became giants, developed voracious appetites, and then began to eat and destroy humanity and all the other creatures on the Earth that they were composed of.
When these Nephilim died, they were outside God's Plan of Redemption, and their spirits are therefore to be trapped forever as demons. Some of these demonic Nephilim spirits currently wander the Earth where they can torment people, or have been supernaturally neutralized as powerless spirits imprisoned forever inside the fiery abyss, or Lake of Fire deep inside the Earth that has been prepared for them for all eternity.
Interestingly, Leo is a symbol of Christ coming again in power to conquer the Seed of the Serpent. The Seed of the Serpent refers to unrepentant sinners, who are like the Nephilim in their inciting of evil and violence, as well as the literal spirits and seed of the Nephilim still in existence on the Earth today. In addition, both Leo and Aquarius are powerfully connected to the End Times, and the coming of the Great Tribulation, and Capricorn and Sagittarius warn us of the coming of the Nephilim. Therefore, could it be that Yahweh is issuing humanity a warning about the unholy genetic splicing and demonic worship going on today, just as it was going on before the Flood?
After all, we are now creating genetically altered food crops containing animal genes, and are manufacturing cloned and genetically mixed animals in test tubes. In addition, there are reports of bizarre genetic experiments going on that involve the creation of mutant creatures containing the genetic material of many types of life mixed together - just as was done prior to the Great Flood with devastating results.
In addition, we are living in the most ungodly time in history since the Flood, when this Scripture has literally come true, and intensified in the past 30 years:
"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!" - 2 Timothy 3:1-5
In the Book of Revelation, Yahshua warned that He was going to harshly judge these people who have a form of godliness outwardly, but secretly are filled with every iniquity, and who revel in violence, pride, narcissism, and hedonism. This warning was given to the Laodicean Church, which signifies many of the Christian congregations in North America, the United Kingdom, and Europe today:
"And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, 'These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: 'I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, "I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing" -- and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked -- I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent." - Revelation 3:14-19
Can you identify people who are a part of this widespread Laodicean Church, which preaches the false Health and Wealth Gospel, also known as the Prosperity Doctrine? Have you recently been a victim of increasing numbers of selfish, vindictive people who think they are better than you are, and who treat you disrespectfully - without cause?
How many feel entitled to be rich, or want to live as though they were rich with their extravagant use of credit? How many now spend far more money and time on preserving their looks, and having a good time, than they do in helping others to grow in their spiritual faith? Do you know people, or have you ever felt led to utter the magical "Name it and Claim It" incantations (i.e. positive affirmations) used to procure wealth through the false, or Anti-Gospel powered by demons disguised as Angels of Light? If so, you have encountered the Laodicean Church.
Yes, with all the relativism, tolerance of sin, and emphasis on wealth and pleasure in today's Laodicean Church, there is no doubt that we are living in the Last Days, for it is now just as Yahshua said it would be:
"And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man." - Luke 17:26
Get ready everyone, for the signs in the heavens are warning us that the Days of Noah are upon us once again! This means that terrible trouble and judgment are coming upon the whole world very soon, and those who do not repent, and turn to Yahshua for salvation will suffer enormously in the wake of the cataclysmic events during the Great Tribulation.
Anyone who has read my recent articles about the Perseus Prophecy connected to three comets, or the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse being connected to the celestial signs on December 21st, 2012, and forming a great Anti-Peace sign in the sky on that very day know that the heavens were designed by God to tell us His Will, the consequences of sin, and the working of God's Plan of Salvation throughout time.
Because of this, I urge you all to pray fervently for our supernatural deliverance from evil, and join me in constantly crying out "Maranatha!" "Please Come, Yahshua!"

Overview: In this article, Bible Scholar Helena Lehman of Pillar of Enoch Ministry reveals the myths surrounding the traditional Nativity Story, what is actually said about it in the Gospels, and what is left unsaid, but carefully implied in the mysterious story of the Magi, and the magical Star of Bethlehem.
December 9, 2007: Over the years, there has been much speculation surrounding Christ’s birth, from whether it occurred in a cave, or barn, to whether it occurred in winter or autumn, and whether the Star of Bethlehem was a supernatural event, or a natural phenomena, or both.
In the traditional view, though the location of the Nativity was a humble barn in Bethlehem, there was quite an array of guests in attendance. Besides Joseph, Mary, and a few barnyard animals, the newborn Christ was gazed upon by a group of shepherds with their flocks, a caravan containing three Wise Men, their entire entourage, and a whole legion of angels - all who served as living witnesses of the most miraculous event in history. What isn’t said is that everyone in that tiny Jerusalem suburb called Bethlehem would likely have seen, heard, and joined all these personages arriving in their small town out of curiosity, if nothing else.
In fact, upon closer scrutiny of the biblical narratives in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, a decidedly different version of the legendary events surrounding Christ’s birth emerges. Matthews’s Gospel, for example, explicitly states that Christ was a young child when the Magi found his whereabouts. Furthermore, we are told that Mary was residing in a house with Christ by this time. It therefore clearly suggests that the Wise Men arrived quite awhile after Luke’s account of Christ being laid in a manger. In addition, Matthew never gives the number of Magi present. He only tells us that this unnumbered group of dignitaries from the East worshipped Christ, and presented him with the three precious gifts. What is left unsaid, but is no doubt implied, is that these three gifts were traditionally given as tribute to newly coronated kings in Mesopotamia, and the Middle East at that time.
Over the centuries since Christ’s birth, many scholars have postulated that the Magi may have been Zoroastrians from Persia, and that the mysterious star that hovered over Bethlehem when Christ was born was a miraculous, supernatural phenomenon - and not an ordinary star. These suppositions, however, make no sense when carefully scrutinized. First of all, why would Zoroastrian dignitaries from a rival culture and religion care about the birth of a Jewish king, especially since Judea was merely a vassal kingdom under Rome’s control at that time? Furthermore, why would the Magi want to worship this king like a god, and present him with costly gifts if they had no Jewish hope in the coming of a great king and Messiah, like most Jews of that time period did?
Faced with these discrepancies, some skeptics dismiss the Nativity story as a myth. But if we strip away all the legends surrounding the biblical narratives of Christ’s birth, we can entertain more plausible assumptions about just who the Magi were, and what they were doing in Bethlehem. First of all, since virtually no one would care about the birth of a Jewish king except a Jew, or a rival to his throne, we must assume that the Magi were either Jews, or Zoroastrian converts to Judaism. Secondly, since Zoroastrian Magi were well acquainted with the mystical Astronomy of the day called Astrology, we can assume that the star they followed was a real star, and not a supernatural one.
But by far the most amazing revelation hidden in the study of the events surrounding the Nativity is what the Magi understood about the Zodiac. They would have known, for example, that the supposedly Pagan Zodiac had originally been viewed as a Bible written in the stars - whose author was God alone. Furthermore, in order to identify the time of Christ’s birth, the Magi would have had to be able to correctly interpret the special story behind each symbol of the 48 constellations in that ancient Zodiac.
Since the Holy Spirit was obviously guiding the Magi when they found Christ in Bethlehem, it would make sense that they would have understood the Zodiac through that same Spirit of God. As shown in my Language of God Book Series (at: http://pillar-of-enoch.com/graphics/Anti-Peace-Sign_4-Horsemen_Article-Pix.pdf), if the Zodiac story is viewed through Judeo-Christian eyes, the primary heroes in this ancient 48-chapter storybook are not the Greco-Roman pantheon found in Classical literature, but the Bible heroes who prefigured Christ, as well as Christ Himself in both His First and Second Advent roles!
The events surrounding the birth of Christ, the celestial signs that appeared at that time, and the amazing Gospel story behind all 48 constellations of the Zodiac are the subject of my book: “The Language of God in the Universe” (at: http://pillar-of-enoch.com/Language_of_God_in_the_Universe/). It is part of a four volume series about the allegorical Language of God, a hidden language that God uses to communicate with mankind that is found in nature, and all Biblical symbols. In fact, every book in this exhaustively researched, illustrated, reference library is filled with facts showing the amazing connection between the themes and prophecies in the Bible, and the Zodiac story.
For anyone with an interest in Ancient History, Comparative Religion, Bible Prophecy, Astronomy, Astrology, and the hidden meanings behind biblical symbols, there is no other reference work on the market today that even approached this set in depth of scope, or detail. And right now, for a limited time, this entire, amazing reference set can be purchased for a huge savings off the cover price of each book at my Pillar of Enoch Ministry Web site at http://pillar-of-enoch.com/. When placing your order, keep in mind that, for guaranteed Christmas delivery, books must be ordered by December 15th, 2007.
In addition to the books, I also offer two free articles surrounding Christ’s Birth in the free Articles section of my web site at http://pillar-of-enoch.com/essays/. The article entitled “Where Is Christ In Christmas?” is about the spiritual meaning behind the traditional symbols of Christmas, and its connection to Chanukah, and the other article entitled “The Divine Timing Of The Celestial Signs At Christ’s Birth” deals specifically with the timing of, and meanings behind the amazing celestial events surrounding Christ’s birth.
I hope you will take some time out this holiday season to feed your soul with the many wonderful spiritual truths hidden behind the symbols surrounding Christmas, and the timing of Christ’s birth, and I invite you to purchase my books to learn even more about the wonderful spiritual secrets that God alone has hidden in every star, and constellation.
Have a Happy Chanukah, and a very Merry Christmas!

Part One - “The Rider on the White Horse:
Symbol of the Gospel of the Kingdom Being Preached”
Copyright © 2007 By Helena Lehman
NOTE: To better understand this material, see my illustrations for this three-part article series by downloading this 4 page PDF article supplement: http://pillar-of-enoch.com/graphics/Anti-Peace-Sign_Four-Horsemen_Article-Illustrations.pdf
Many Bible Prophecy teachers have written about the possible meanings of the cryptic symbolism found in the Book of Revelation. Among these commentaries, much has been written about the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse found in Revelation’s sixth chapter. However, none of the more popular commentaries on the Book of Revelation have noted that there is a definite Zodiac connection for many of the symbols in the prophetic language of this book.
As shown in my Language of God Book Series (see http://pillar-of-enoch.com/language_series/), these scriptural tie-ins to the Zodiac Star Gospel story are found throughout the many biblical prophetic scriptures, but they are especially numerous in the Book of Revelation. This suggests that we can apply Sacred Astronomy to determine the dating of key biblical prophecies, just as Enoch and his righteous Sethite descendents did prior to the Great Flood, as shown in the Pillar of Enoch, or Great Pyramid.
One aspect of this Zodiac symbolism that I mentioned in my books is found in the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse who appear consecutively when the first four of seven seals representing various stages of judgment are opened. The only one of the four horsemen I really commented on in my books was the first horseman riding on a white horse, which many Bible Scholars have incorrectly identified as the Antichrist. They have done so because of the apparent similarity to the King of kings on the white horse described toward the end of the Book of Revelation:
“Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war…” “Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations… He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.” -- Rev 19:11, 15-16 (NKJ)
To many Bible Prophecy teachers, it is obvious that the Rider on the White Horse in Revelation Chapter 19 is none other than Yahshua (Jesus) the Messiah returning in Glory to set up His Kingdom on Earth. They therefore think that the less sensationally described rider on the white horse in Revelation, Chapter Six must be an imposter, especially since he appears at the beginning of the Great Tribulation period, when the First Seal is opened:
“Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, ‘Come and see.’ And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.” -- Rev. 6:1-2 (NKJ)
Note that the First Horseman of the Apocalypse, or rider on the white horse is given a crown, and has a bow in his hand, identifying him is an archer. However, his bow has no “arrow,” which is a symbol of war and power. The lack of an arrow therefore suggests that the rider is being sent out during the first half of the seven-year Tribulation. For the first three and a half years, before the Bowls of God’s Wrath are poured out on the Earth, there will be a period of peace all over the world, though this time of peace will be heavily marred by ecological and geological disasters, which will be none other than acts of God’s vengeance on an imperiled Earth.
Uncannily, the white horse, and the crowned archer with the bow can all be found in the starry constellation called Sagittarius, the Centaur-like Archer among the twelve major signs of the Zodiac. As depicted in the Dendera Zodiac, Sagittarius depicts a mounted pharaoh, or king, whose pure white horse’s feet are trampling over a serpent shaped like a boat (indicating the serpent trail of Dan, and the Nephilim), while the arrow in the king’s bow is aimed at the heart of Scorpio, the most Satanic symbol among the twelve signs of the Zodiac! This Archer King represents Yahshua, while the white horse represents His perfection, and His role as an atonement sacrifice for sin.
As shown in my book “The Language of God in the Universe” (see http://pillar-of-enoch.com/Language_of_God_in_Universe/), Sagittarius can be seen as a melding together of that first apocalyptic rider, and the white horse he is riding. In the Gospel in the Stars, this sign perfectly represents the dual-nature of Christ as both a conquering hero (the archer), and an atonement sacrifice (the hoofed, white animal) in one!
There are, in fact, two centaurs in the Zodiac. Sagittarius depicts Christ coming in triumph, while the decan of Virgo called Centaurus portrays Christ as an atonement sacrifice. These two centaurs are Scorpio’s righteous adversaries, and their bows depict God’s meting out of judgment against Satan, and his evil followers. However, these archer’s bows also signify God’s promises, blessings, and mercy, just as the rainbow sign given to Noah, and his kin depicted God’s promise to never destroy the Earth by water again. Interestingly, every rainbow symbolically aims an invisible arrow at God, showing that God would rather kill Himself than renege on any of His promises, just as He did on the Cross!
Now, as shown in my book “The Language of God in Prophecy” (see http://pillar-of-enoch.com/Language_of_God_in_Prophecy/) the prophet Zechariah depicts Yahweh holding a bow associated with the tribe of Judah, and an arrow tied to the Tribe of Joseph/Ephraim that are being used to defeat God’s enemies during the Battle of Armageddon:
“For I have bent Judah, My bow, Fitted the bow with Ephraim, and raised up your sons, O Zion, against your sons, O Greece, and made you like the sword of a mighty man. Then the LORD will be seen over them, and His arrow will go forth like lightning. The Lord GOD will blow the trumpet, and go with whirlwinds from the south. The LORD of hosts will defend them… in that day, as the flock of His people. For they shall be like the jewels of a crown, lifted like a banner over His land…” - Zechariah 9:13-16 (NKJ)
Note here that the bow and arrow in Zechariah’s vision are being wielded by God, and those He is defending “shall be like the jewels of a crown.” This Scripture therefore identifies the bow, and the jewels of the crown belonging to the Rider on the White Horse in the Book of Revelation! As shown in my books, Judah prophetically refers to the Jews, especially those in the nation of Israel, while Ephraim signifies the Christians living all over the world, especially those in the United States. Therefore, the Rider on the White Horse appears to be a symbol representing a messenger ensuring that the Gospel of Christ’s Kingdom will be preached to the whole world before the Battle of Armageddon. This heavenly Kingdom will ultimately conquer the Devil’s kingdom in the air, and advance the knowledge of the Kingdom of God within those who become the Tribulation Saints.
Indeed, from the very beginning of the seven-year Great Tribulation, God chooses 144,000 Israelites from the Twelve Tribes of Israel to preach. Then the miracle-working Two Witnesses, and finally a mighty angel will preach the Gospel to the whole world before the fall of the Antichrist’s kingdom known as Babylon the Great:
“Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God. And he cried with a loud voice… ‘Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.’ And I heard the number of those who were sealed. One hundred and forty-four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel…” -- Rev. 7:2-4 (NKJ)
“And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.” -- Rev. 11:3
“Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth -- to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people -- saying with a loud voice, ‘Hear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.’” -- Rev 14:6-7
In the final preceding quote, note that this angel is preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom to the whole world, not just a few people! This angel, and the 144,002 other witnesses of God who will preach during the Tribulation will thus fulfill Christ’s prophecy that:
“…this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.” -- Matt. 24:14
This preaching will be faithfully carried out because Yahweh does not want even one of His human children to perish in the Lake if Fire. Therefore, Yah is, and will continue to be merciful to those who accept His Son Yahshua as Savior - even up to the end of the Battle of Armageddon! Hallelu-Yah for that!
In Part Two of this article series, I will show what Zodiac signs the other three Horsemen of the Apocalypse are connected to, and what this connection means.

Copyright 2007 By Helena Lehman
October 16, 2007 - There is an intriguing lead in determining where the United States figures in prophecy - a lead that no one to my knowledge has ever noted before, but that God has shown me. It stems from the fact that the continental United States consisted of forty-eight States from 1912 until 1959, when Alaska and Hawaii were added. Up until that time, the number of States was the same as the number of Levite cities in Israel, and constellations in the Ancient Mazzaroth! (NOTE: Mazzaroth = Hebrew word for “Zodiac”) Could this be just a coincidence, or a highly significant clue into determining the destiny of the United States? Let’s examine this clue to see what it may be trying to tell us.
Since Alaska and Hawaii are not physically part of the mainland appropriated by the United States, and do not share a common border with the other States in the Union, they are not part of the continental United States. There are therefore still only forty-eight States that make up the mainland United States. Could it be that these forty-eight States are meant to represent the forty-eight Levite cities, and constellations of the ancient Zodiac? One day, God gave me the answer to that question!
It happened while I was praying to God for help in finishing my book “The Language of God in Prophecy” (available for purchase at http://pillar-of-enoch.com, and Amazon.com). While in prayer, I had an amazing vision of the United States, and its role in history. In this vision, I saw a bright blue sky where cool, cloudy Alaska suddenly appeared superimposed over a big silver crescent, and the islands of hot, sunny Hawaii were superimposed over a big yellow Sun shape. (See illustration shown full size in the Adobe PDF file linked to below).
In the next instant, the forty-eight continental States were spread across the heavens beneath the Alaska Moon and Hawaii Sun. When the vision ended, it became clear to me that Alaska was being depicted as an allegorical representation of the Moon, while Hawaii was an allegorical representation of the Sun. Meanwhile, the forty-eight other States stretched out across the sky could only mean one thing: they must represent the forty-eight constellations of the ancient Zodiac!
This vision clearly showed me that the fifty States represent the forty-eight constellations, and the Sun and the Moon that pass through the Zodiac every year! Could this be why 50 white stars superimposed over an azure background represents every State on the US Flag? Uncannily, while researching the history of the US Flag for this book, I discovered that the thirteen stars on the original flag were intended to represent a new constellation! This means that what I saw in a vision was anticipated and symbolized in the US Flag from the beginning.
This suggests that, coupled with the US Flag, my vision is Yahweh’s way of showing all Americans how important the USA is to Him as a nation, and a people “under God.” Incidentally, the original US Flag had thirteen stars on an azure background, and thirteen stripes: seven red, and six white. The stripes stand for the thirteen original colonies, which became the first thirteen States in the Union. Interestingly, the total number of the stripes in one color, 7 and 6, also indicate the year that America declared its independence from Great Britain. To better understand my meaning, click on the following URL to see the Adobe PDF file with illustrations showing the USA’s connection to the Mazzaroth, and the Original Flag of the USA with its 13 stars and stripes:
http://pillar-of-enoch.com/graphics/AmChron/Zodiac_Connection_to_USA.pdf
This idea that the United States is a symbolic representation of the Mazzaroth, and of literal and spiritual Israel is also substantiated by the dream that the patriarch Joseph had when he was a boy (Genesis 37:9-11). In that dream vision, Joseph was shown that the people in his life who were signified by the Sun, Moon, and stars would one day bow down to him. Like Joseph’s Israelite family, the United States represents every nation on Earth, and one day every nation will bow their heads to Christ, including the United States! But on another prophetic level, Joseph’s dream vision also suggests that the United States is truly viewed as a literal part of Israel in prophecy by Yahweh God, not just a spiritual part of it.
The association of the numbers thirteen and forty-eight with the United States are prophetically significant in several other ways. First of all, the USA’s connection to the number thirteen signifies that it is symbolically connected to the Sun transiting the Twelve Houses of the Zodiac, as well as to Jacob and the Twelve Tribes of Israel, and Christ and the twelve apostles. Secondly, America’s connection to the number forty-eight indicates that it shares a relationship with the Tribe of Levi, and the Gospel in the Stars.
Allegorically, the Tribe of Levi was the spiritual center of the nation of Israel, and - alongside the Bible and Yahshua (i.e. Jesus) our Messiah - the Gospel in the Stars should be a spiritual guide for the world. Since the number 48 is connected to the Gospel in the Stars, which recognizes 48 constellations, it is another clear indicator that America is meant to be a great source of spiritual light in this dark world. Based on the number of professing Christians in the U.S. population, and the many missionaries these American Christian congregations have sent out into the world, the United States is unquestionably the statistical world leader in both numbers of missionaries and churches.
Through Moses and Aaron, the Tribe of Levi inherited the priesthood. This suggests that, besides being considered a literal part of Israel, the United States is also being reckoned as the Tribe of Levi! This means that America is being called to give more spiritual light to the world than any other nation today outside of the nation of Israel. America, then, is the modern spiritual “navel of the world,” just as Giza in Egypt is the physical “navel of the world.”
As my friend Janice Moore pointed out to me, a navel is a scar left when a baby is severed from its mother by the cutting of the umbilical cord. It is therefore a potent symbol for the Fall of mankind, for this was when Adam and Eve were severed from their personal relationship with God. In addition, a navel is a symbol of our need for spiritual and physical redemption from sin and death. All professing Christians therefore serve to remind the unredeemed sinners in the world that they are damned without Christ. As the greatest bastion of Christianity in today’s world, America is a symbolic navel of remembrance among the nations.
Stay tuned for more articles like this one, which is based entirely on exciting material taken directly from the book “The Language of God in Prophecy,” the last book in the four-book encyclopedic Language of God Book Series, that explores the symbolic Language of God hidden in the Zodiac and the Bible, and the need to understand the connection between the two in order to correctly decipher Bible Prophecy.
