Good Morning Folks and Happy Sabbath!
Once again, we get to participate in the count and thus rehearse the reality of the harvest of us Gentiles in this 3rd Sabbath in the count. Getting closer to our time frame as we move through it. So happy for those who were called by Father and completed the course successfully before us under the Second Marriage Covenant terms and conditions. They are in the grave and awaiting their reward at Christs coming: to call them into the air to their well deserved inheritance.
If we all get our act together it will all come about sooner than later. They are waiting on us to meet the requirements to complete the count/harvest. If you think I am blaming us all for holding it up, you are correct. With what we have been given here at the end of the age most of us should be doing better, myself included. I know a few who actually are shinning bright at this time.
Let’s entitle this study: “The Bride and the Queen of Heaven” and no I am not referring to the pagan counterfeits of Inanna (Ishtar), Anat, Isis, Nut, Astarte, Asherah, Hera, Juno, etc., who were promoters of the zodiac (mazzaroth: Jewish equivalent) by their deceived followers and let’s not forget to include the Catholic version of Mary in the mix as well.
I have promised some of you I would address the Hebrew word Mazzarah (#4216) and its only single use in scripture. That’s right, just one regardless of what some deceivers have to say! What was Yehovah instructing us with its single usage and why in the context with the bear (Ursa Major or Big Dipper as most know it) and its son(s), (Ursa Minor or Little Dipper as most know it)?
Some of you are about to have a lot of fun with this one. It holds a prophecy written in the stars by our Elohim that will not be denied. Satan has used his abilities as the prince of the power of the air, and as the prince of deceit and camouflage; to seduce so many to not be able to see it for what it truly is. He corrupted all the nations early on into following a fake and false queen of heaven. Oh yes, and many do today as well with the Catholics just being one of them. No, Mary was not, and is not, the Queen of Heaven. (However, the irony is she is probably included in the count of that function in the household of the Elohim.) There is a real Queen/Bride in the making however, and we are going to get a glimpse of that today. So, if you have never heard about this before you are in for a new adventure in understanding about how the heavens speak to us; night by night, and then day by day. The messages from each sphere of influence are quite different, just as night from day is. Please do not forget that. The greater light rules the day and the lesser light rules the night. Stars are not included in that command. They have a different function other than ruling. The old Hebrew grammar in Genesis 1:16 can’t be mistaken, but some do twist it.
For those who have never read how I retranslate Hebrew and Greek words into respective English meanings let me give you one example before we move into this study. I don’t do it with scriptures and words that convey an acceptable usage in English most of the time. It makes a world of difference as you will see when they are properly translated though.
Psalm 19:1 usually starts out as “The heavens declare the glory of God….”
Declare is a poor translation into English of the old Biblical Hebrew word used here because it is promoting a far more general meaning than Yehovah is specifically stating in context. It is Strong's #5608 caphar: “a prime root: properly to score with a mark as a tally or record, i.e. (by implication) to inscribe, and also to enumerate; intensively to recount, i.e. celebrate.”
We are about to see the context here is describing something recorded and inscribed in the heavens which will be celebrated and also enumerated. The entirety of the word is used here in all of its applications, but we will simply put in the word recorded in place of declared. Understanding the depth of the old Biblical Hebrew is part of our calling and clears up a lot of confusion caused by translators who were working without the spirit assisting them. In conjunction with doing this we must have a clearly defined PATTERN of scriptures throughout both Covenants to form a doctrine from Father.
You will notice other words translated differently from the old Biblical Hebrew as well throughout this study. They are giving the actual equivalent translation in English for the defined context.
Psalm 19:1-6 The heavens are recording the glory of El (singular, not plural Elohim); and the transaction of His hand is standing boldly out in the expanse. Day unto day (it) pours forth answers, and night unto night reveals knowledge. There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard (can be seen everywhere). Their dividing (each of them have a realm assigned to work in) has gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun, and he like a bridegroom coming out of his canopy, he rejoices like a mighty one (Gibbowr El: Isaiah 9:6, a name of Christ/Messiah) to run a race. From the end of the heavens is his going forth, and his orbit/course (or its division to work in) to their ends (has boundaries), and there is nothing hidden from his heat.
The context He frames it in here is an upcoming wedding scenario with a Bridegroom hastening toward its completion. He uses the sun to capture the intensity and consistency to explain its inevitability. If you don’t see that here you may want to stop reading and save some brain cells because we are going to see its completion written in the stars as well as in prophecy and in the pages of the Second Marriage Covenant scriptures.
Now a reminder of who is the Mighty El, the Gibbowr El, and also a Child born unto us. Very important to get the individuals with their functions correct to understand this instructive prophecy pattern which is part of the hidden truth referred to by Paul in his writings.
Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called: Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty (Gibbowr) El, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Watch how simple this all is now with the other half of the Marriage Transaction He so boldly speaks about in the Heavens is revealed to us.
Revelation 12:1-2 And a great sign was seen in heaven (as the abode of God/Elohim and thus the domain, boundary, and sphere of influence of the of the stars/mazzarah): a woman having been invested with clothing of the sun, and the moon underneath her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. And having (Child) in the womb, she cried being in travail and having been distressed to bear.
Why was she distressed? Two major reasons but we will only address the one mentioned here in Revelation 12.
Verse 4 instructs us that the dragon/devil was waiting to devour the Child when it was born. That’s exactly what happened with Herod. And in verse 5 the identity of the Child is given by function so there is no misunderstanding the entire nature of this sign.
That is the same “Child” spoken of in Isaiah 9:6 who is also our Mighty El, and the Son of Father Elohim.
These are 3 of the declarations we have in scripture which form a beautiful Biblical Pattern. Twelve stars are arranged in heaven as a witness to, and crown for, a woman (spiritual Israel) who will become a Bride invested with the brilliance of the sun which is from the determination and steadfastness of the Bridegroom who functions in many roles in the timeline of the Plan of Salvation. Let’s not overlook her dominion over the light of the moon either symbolized by her standing on it.
The Bridegroom is not only our Passover Lamb and Wavesheaf of Fathers household, but also our Mighty El, a Child born to us, and the Son of Fathers household as well; as Isaiah instructs us above.
So where is this prophetic inscription recorded in the heavens and why is it important to the challenge given to Job by Yehovah?
Now that we have these Biblical facts under our belt and not Orion’s. Let’s look at this specific scripture as translated from Biblical Hebrew into the actual English meanings of the key word’s intent in it, and not some Jewish language substitution. There is a difference!
Job 38:32 Can you bring out the distinction of the constellations/specific group of stars (mazzarah) when it is their time (future tense), or the bear (ayish) with its sons (ben). Can you guide or direct them?
I should not have to, but I will mention, Job lived long before the Babylonian mystics and astrologers formed their religious concept of the zodiac and the worship of the false queen of heaven under the influence of the prince of the power of the air. And please do not neglect to recognize her “spring” fertility rights in her calendar equations. Maybe we will address some of that later.
Here was a challenge thrown down to Job from Yehovah. Let’s examine it a bit.
Here we have some Mazzarah linked to the Ayish and its Ben. Simply put some stars (as seen from earth) in association with the greater bear and the lesser bear. Oh yes, just like there is a greater light (the sun) and a lesser light (the moon) used in our yearly Calendar cycle determinations of days, weeks, and months. Thus, a clock of sorts with a big hand and a little hand. I am a simpleton so I think in such terms. Those are the celestial components. Of course, there are the terrestrial components (the seconds hand) combined with them to get an accurate determination of the Biblical year. Two witnesses! Here a little, there a little, precept upon precept, and line upon line is how we are taught the Biblical patterns by our Elohim. They control and bring in all the signs that are in place to give us a clear understanding of Their Plan of Salvation and the expansion of the family of the Elohim.
Once again, it is important to understand from the start this is not talking about the pagan zodiac symbols designed in the minds of men in Babylon some 2500 years ago under the influence of satan. The Babylonians just used existing knowledge of some of the visible clusters of stars we call constellations and formed an evil use for them. Who else was there learning under their system of pagan calendar criteria prior to and after her captivity?
Never forget satan will always try to insert a false concept and understanding of a truth instituted by our Elohim, always! He has been very successful at doing so with this inscription in the stars foretelling about the Bride of Christ/Messiah. Yes, the same 12 designated stars in their constellations we have just read about. He has convinced so many, in so many “languages” to use them for a false worship of a fake queen as well as a fertility symbol associated with the timing of the “spring” vernal equinox.
But the pagans were not alone in this. Oh no, listen up as to who else was a party to it.
Jeremiah 8:1-2 At that time, says Yehovah, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of its princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves. They shall spread them before the sun and the moon and all the host of heaven, which they have loved and which they have served and after which they have walked, which they have sought and which they have worshiped. They shall not be gathered nor buried; they shall be like refuse on the face of the earth.
He assigns this filthy error to the Nation of Judah (the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and Levi) as she intensified its use in her worship ceremonies and calendar slop. She sought after them all in harlotry and adultery from her true Elohim and Husband. No wonder Yehovah called her more treacherous than her sister Israel and just worshiping Him in pretense in Jeremiah 3.
Look how deranged the Nation of Judah was even up to the very end.
Jeremiah 44:15-18 Then all the men who knew that their wives had burned incense to other elohim, with all the women who stood by, a great multitude, and all the people who dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying: the word that you have spoken to us in the name of Yehovah, we will not listen to you! But we will certainly do whatever has gone out of our own mouth, to burn incense to the queen of heaven and pour out drink offerings to her, as we have done, we and our fathers, our kings and our princes, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. For we had plenty of food, were well off, and saw no trouble. But since we stopped burning incense to the queen of heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have lacked everything and have been consumed by the sword and by famine.
Try weaseling out of that one. I wonder why a spirit of stupor was conveyed to them?
This is where the Jewish name Mazzaroth came from. It is not Mazzarah and it is an abominable use of a record inscribed in the heavens foretelling the timeline of the Bride and her marriage to Christ/Messiah. It was never intended to be used for worship, no more than the sun or the moon were. Each has its function in the heavens with only the sun and the moon playing parts to reckoning the yearly cycle on earth. The Mazzarah has a “yearly” cycle as well but wait until you hear about that one from Andrew Raymond's excerpts in the second half of this study.
First, before proceeding further, we need to get an accurate understanding of the old Biblical Hebrew language used here in Job 38:32. It speaks volumes to us.
Ayish, is simple to understand. It is Strong's #5906. It states: “from # 5789, the constellation of the Great Bear (perhaps from the migration through the heavens).” Always remember each constellation has a dominant star in it.Thus, we need to determine if this is talking about a star or the entire group of stars in the specific constellation.
Strong’s is very intuitive as we will see, for Ayish comes from the root word; uwah #5789, which simply means: to hasten.
And then ben #1121, which comes from #1129; a son (as a builder of a family name). Once again very important in the scheme of things in the Plan of Salvation.
A big dipper and a little dipper which are used to determine direction in navigating and finding one’s way. Pointing us in the right direction one might say. Every star of the Mazzarah can be located through this big hand and little hand on this celestial clock in the realm of the stars. Not all stars, just 12 specific ones.
Now for Mazzarah, NOT MAZZAROTH, which is important. It is #4216 and Strong's says; “apparently from #5144 in the sense of distinction, some noted constellations, collectively the zodiac-mazzaroth.”
Strong's says the noted constellations could be those of the Zodiac or the Jewish Mazzaroth which are one in the same. Is that actually established here in the old Biblical Hebrew? No, it is not. Strong's is simply bringing to attention it is probably speaking about the same star structure known as the pagan zodiac and pagan mazzaroth.
As I often mention if we want to come to a good understanding and usage of a Biblical Hebrew word, we need to follow it back to its root word. So, let’s do that for Mazzarah #4216 here. It comes from #5144 which is nazar “a prime root, to hold aloft, i.e. (intransitively) abstain (from food, and drink, from impurity, and even from divine worship [apostatize]), specifically to set apart (to sacred purposes) i.e. devote”
The word has specific actions associated with it. These stars are designated to be set apart for a sacred purpose. We already know what that is from our earlier discussion above. They have been inscribed in the heavens by Yehovah for a record to an upcoming grand event.
Don’t forget the big dipper and the little dipper are part of this instruction Yehovah challenged Job with. He links them to an action which needed to be guided and directed. Keep in mind the big hand and the little hand.
Now onto the Biblical Hebrew word which is often translated “season” in this verse. It is eth #6256; from #5703 which means time, especially (adverb with a preposition) now, when, etc.”
So, which one of these defined aspects of time goes into this instruction here? Is it talking about a past time, a present time, a future time, or a combination of times, or maybe all of them? Let’s follow the chain of words and their meanings that it comes from and see if they can help us out on that question.
#5703 ad, which in turn comes from #5710, and means properly a peremptory (which means subject to no further debate or dispute, final and unassailable.) terminus (a boundary or border), i.e. by (implication) duration, in the sense of advance perpetuity (a time without end; eternity).”
So, ad #5703 simply means a predetermined duration of time established long ago defining something ending up being eternal. In essence a starting point but after a specific event, no ending. That answers the question as to what eth #6256, it is referencing. But we still have one more original Biblical Hebrew word to go yet, and it is the root of them all in this chain.
Ad #5703 comes from #5710 adah a prime root; to advance i.e. pass on or continue, causatively to remove; specifically, to bedeck (bring ornament upon).”
Finally, we get to the origin of the Biblical Hebrew word Mazzarah. Let’s put it all together folks. There is a set time recorded in the heavens consisting of 12 stars which has a circuit, which can’t be broken, instructing us to an event which will result in advancing to an eternal condition and time of crowning someone.
That is the Bride folks!
So here we have the old Biblical Hebrew explaining the challenge Yehovah made to Job. Can you bring about, or set forth, the preset duration from start to finish which I established long ago, to crown someone making her My Bride and Queen (He is the King of kings) which I have established in the signs in the heavens as evidence of my great power and authority in the Plan of Salvation, to show I can determine the end before the beginning. I have even given you the big hand and the little hand on this celestial clock in the realm of the stars. Yes, the big dipper and the little dipper to mark which stars. The two of them can be used to identify all 12.
Do you have that ability, Job?
Dear brethren, we are being given the instruction here that there is a sign inscribed in the heavens that instructs us about the crowning of the Bride, the eternal helpmate to the household of the Elohim which has been assigned a specific duration of time to be completed. And a specific number. What ever can I mean?
Revelation 6:12-17 through 7:1-8 instruct us about the return of Christ/Messiah to collect His Bride from both Marriage Covenants. And yes, it takes place on Pentecost as the scriptures clearly instruct us as the prophesies assigned to it are fulfilled.
Revelation 6:12-17 first. I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth (fallen angels), as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. (Is there a prophetic record of the actual cause of this? Yes, and we will get there momentarily with its unseen result). And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! (Certainly not the events described for the Feast of Trumpets where all the nations of the world will be arrayed to make war with Him in Revelation Chapter 19:11-21). For the great day (3 ½ years) of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?
Now notice what takes place next.
Revelation 7:1-8 After these things I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, on the sea, or on any tree. Then I saw another angel (Michael) ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God (The name of Father’s household to be written on their foreheads Revelation 14:1). And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, saying, 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 forty-four thousand from all the tribes of the children of Israel sealed: of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand sealed; of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand sealed; of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand sealed; of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand sealed; of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand sealed; of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand sealed; of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand sealed; of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand sealed; of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand sealed; of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand sealed; of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand sealed; of the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand sealed.”
Oh yes, spiritual Israel is now complete! The Gentiles called by Father and chosen by Christ have made up the shortfall in the overall number, and thus individually within each tribe to complete the required 12,000. Those who have qualified from the First and Second Marriage Covenants who are dead in the grave will rise first as Paul instructs us and then followed by those who are still alive, in the twinkling of an eye who have met their individual requirements to cross over the threshold and be part of the 144,000 who will function as the Second Adams eternal helpmate in the household of Father Elohim.
This all takes place on the Jubilee of the Bride, on Pentecost the 50th day. The harvest is completed and the Plan moves on to the next segment of completing the family household.
As a side note some point out only 12 tribes are mentioned here. What happened to Dan? The Bride is only assigned 12 stars not 13. Does that mean Dan is rejected? Not to my understanding for he is numbered amongst the successful ones in other places. Keep in mind Manasseh was a split tribe when it came to their physical inheritance after entering the Land. Does that mean anything here? Try and figure it out on your own for that can take us off course to the point today. However, keep in mind with all the official business functions only the number 12 is mentioned for a reason, but someone had to do double duty in and on some occasions.
Where are the actual events of this day explained as to what happens physically to the earth and its result? This is the other side of the coin of the day’s actions opposite the resurrection of the Bride.
Isaiah 13:9-13 Behold, the day of Yehovah comes, cruel, with both wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate;and He will destroy its sinners from it. For the stars of heaven and their constellations (#3685 keciyl the burly or fatness of other stars associated with the “star” as easily seen; not Mazzarah) will not give their light (as currently seen from the earth); the sun will be darkened in its going forth, and the moon will not cause its light to shine. I will punish the world for its evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; I will halt the arrogance of the proud, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. I will make a mortal more rare than fine gold, a man more than the golden wedge of Ophir. (Now listen how He does it) Therefore I will shake the heavens,and the earth will move out of her place, in the wrath of Yehovah of hosts in the day of His fierce anger.
He will straighten the axis of the earth so it is perpendicular to the sun. This will create an environment and result in the physics of earth, relative to the sun; with the earth having perfect 30 day months and a 12 month year. No more split seasons north and south. Things like this are really simple for our Elohim to do. Talk about humbling the proud and the mighty. This will result in the zodiac not existing any longer as seen from the earth and used currently by so many dumbed down peoples.
Why? Because it is tied to the base line known as the equator. That equator will no longer be relevant for changing seasons with the 2 extreme tropic’s, north and south associated with the current positioning to the sun. The wonderful outcome of it is simple as it pertains to the Calendar. Only 30 day months from then forward. No controversy or anything like that. You accept the results or face the consequences.
Now we need to discuss the pagan use of the sign of the 12 stars recorded in the heavens. It is used in many abominable ways by those deceived by satan with one of them being used to change times and seasons. The hocus pocus of astrology is the other big one.
The celestial clock comprised of the 12 star groups and the big hand and little hand to point them out has a “yearly” cycle. Unfortunately for those who profess it is relevant to the Abib Calendar yearly cycle you are a little bit short of it. Its duration from the end to the beginning of it was set at 25,800 years. We will get to all of that but what about the intended purpose of this sign in the heavens once again. A brief summary of the history of the events surrounding Native Israels participation in the process of crowning the Bride/Queen of Heaven.
The devil has used every avenue he was allowed to use to terminate the mother of the Child as a nation. That was Native Israel for the Seed would come through it. Satan was successful in her being divorced (10 northern tribes we know as the Nation of Israel) and the other 2 (Judah and Benjamin or the Nation of Judah) becoming a treacherous and adulterous wife. But that did not stop the fact the Seed would come through the woman. The Child was going to be used to allow access for others to enter the count to complete the number assigned to the Bride, the mother and the eternal helpmate in the household of the Elohim that Native Israel fell short of. And that is where we come in folks. We have been allowed entrance to complete the total numbers in each of the tribes (the spiritual reality, not physical one, for that one ended prematurely due to their own actions) not met during the First Marriage Covenant (FMC) terms and conditions. Those who did qualify for it are awaiting their reward as scripture instructs us. But for us, the candidates under the terms and conditions of the Second Marriage Covenant (SMC) we are still being numbered and chosen as this 7-week harvest depicts after our Lord and Savior was accepted on our behalf on Wavesheaf Day. That gave us the right of inclusion!
So, what does the clothing of the sun depict? Purity and brightness and an intimate relationship with the Son. She had received that as a result of her actions under the FMC terms and conditions, just like those under these SMC terms and conditions will do. Let’s not forget the lesser light as well. She will use the light of both to bring her to perfection and in unity with the Elohim. She will faithfully keep her appointed times of meeting with Them, each and every year.
Revelation 19:7-9 Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready (it takes diligent focus and effort). And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. Then he said to me, write: blessed are those who are called (by Father) to the marriage supper of the Lamb! And he said to me, these are the true sayings of God.
On Pentecost the two qualified candidates from both Marriage Covenants will be united into one tabernacle and thus the predetermined number is completed. She receives her crown as foretold so long ago in the stars, and more recently to that in scripture, and the history of Israel past and present.
This is a Biblical Pattern opened to us here at the end of the age, just like Daniel says it would be.
How does this sign of the 12 stars fit into the yearly calendar?
It doesn’t!!!
Why?
Glad you asked. The 12 star groups each with a dominant star, out of the billions, foretell about the eternal crown going to be given to a few and not the many. There is no hocus pocus in it at all. The stars assigned to this sign given to the woman, the Bride, are not intended to be used in determining the moedim/appointed times of meeting, with our Elohim: in any way, shape, or form. They have their own distinct purpose for directing us to understanding the power and will of our Elohim. They are a clock of sorts on a much bigger scale as we will be discussing shortly. In that, they give knowledge and wisdom to us if we do not entertain the dismay of the pagan nations and religions of this world. Satan has done a masterful job at deceiving on this point with his duplicates with false presentations. He uses the zodiac to do that. Do not get caught up in that sort of divination.
Let’s look at the hijacking of what was to be understood as the prophetic sign of the real Queen of Heaven, the eternal helpmate to be selected out of Israel, both Native and grafted in, to function in that capacity in Fathers household. Watch how easy this is to see. Just as there were and are many false christs, so to for the Bride, which will be the number 3 functioning position in the household of the Elohim with an amazing work load ahead. Satan does not miss a beat as the saying goes. If not for the spirit of God/Elohim residing in our being, we would not have any understanding of these mysteries, or hidden truths either.
Once again, we will see that the celestial clock of the stars used by people who are in dismay with the sun, moon, constellations, etc. is out of whack and not functioning as they proclaimed it would. And again, that sounds like the out of whack Rabbinic Calendar which had its start in the same place and time of the zodiac abomination from satan in Babylon.
Let me start out this section with a statement which some folks have no clue about relative to the mazzaroth calendar confusion.
“Precession of the Equinox has led to the March Equinox moving from Aries to Pisces!” So what, some of the supporters of the zodiac/mazzaroth criteria who use it and include it into the Biblical Calendar, will say?
That simply means you have an inaccurate and completely flawed calendar. Imagine that, just like its father. It does not keep true time and wants to distort the real methodology of keeping it. Everything else follows suit in the structure of the zodiac/mazzaroth as well. Some of the established divisions in your zodiac/mazzaroth are drifting apart from their predetermined and calculated lines faster than others. What a mess. Kind of sounds like the predetermined and calculated Rabbinical Calendar in use by so many today. Imagine that. I wonder why?
I repeat, they both had their start in the same place. Both are out of sync with the reality they purport to be defining. The Rabbinical Calendar is NEVER correct with establishing the appointed times of meeting with our Creators in a yearly cycle. It is an abomination of men under the tutelage of their father just as the zodiac/mazzaroth is.
The zodiac was first developed in Babylon some 2500 years ago during the age of Aries. They had no clue there was something known in physics as the precession of the equinox which has its own designated and specific purpose. They set each of the calculations assigned in the zodiac from what is called the tropic approach. That simply means the sun passing through them. Narrowed down the divisions as the earth circles the sun yearly. Without taking into account the suns positioning on the equinox each year moving further west, they developed a very flawed time piece as well. So much for invisible moments in time being used in the Abib Calendar. Many ignore that, but others have moved to remedy the error mathematically. It is a fascinating history to follow but not today. I am trying to keep this simple.
With that in mind let’s hear from Andrew Raymond. He has a good way of simplifying what is going on and what has gone on with the stars fitting into the confusion they are being used for. However, he does not see it as total confusion.
But first, three scriptural quotes to put things in perspective and bring the obvious to remembrance.
Jeremiah 10:2 Thus says Yehovah: do not be goaded (#3925 to goad; which means to be taught or compelled forcibly by an outside agency) to the way of the nations and do not be prostrate before the signs of the heavens, for the nations are prostrate before them.
Deuteronomy 4:19 And when you look up to the sky and see the sun, the moon, and the stars: all the heavenly array; do not be enticed into bowing down to them and worshiping things Yehovah your Elohim has apportioned to all the nations under heaven.” (Oh yes, the Gentiles were going to be included in all the reality of this at some point in understanding their use).
Jeremiah 8:1-2 At that time, says Yehovah, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of its princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves. They shall spread them before the sun and the moon and all the host of heaven, which they have loved and which they have served and after which they have walked, which they have sought and which they have worshiped. They shall not be gathered nor buried; they shall be like refuse on the face of the earth.
We do not worship the luminaries (sun and moon) or the stars, and we certainly do not use or seek to use them outside of their designated and designed functions in creation as to the moedim (sun and moon) they were intended to be used for. The stars (just some of them) have a very different function as none of them rules the day or the night, but are used to speak to us about the next great event in the timeline of the Plan of Salvation.
Satan has used them to turn many simple things upside down contrary to their intended purposes. Pagan religions are rife with them. He is always trying to produce a false understanding based on a real pattern in scripture and in creation. Just imagine, he presents himself as an angel of light. No doubt his minions, those drunk on the traditions and commandments of Judaism and Catholicism are so steeped in error.
Finally, to Andrew Raymond's very well presented and clear to understand explanation of what is the reality in using the zodiac/mazzaroth and its baseline the equator. These are just some excerpts; you can find more detail of it all in our article: Why I do not use an equinox in anything Biblical, at our website: abibofgod.com.
In order to uncover some of the mysteries that are shrouded in our mythological and religious symbols, including the Great Sphinx, we must look beyond our Earth year to a much longer cycle of our planet (mother earth). We call this greater cycle, or one wobble of the Earth, the Platonic year in honor of the Greek philosopher Plato — whose ideas concerning the realities of the physical and metaphysical planes are still cherished by many of us who are seeking the wisdom of the ages.
I am going to introduce this cycle in the simplest way possible, as we only need a general knowledge of it to comprehend the wisdom this book intends to impart. The combined gravitational effects of the sun, moon, and planets on the Earth’s equatorial bulge cause the Earth’s axis to sway clockwise in a slow circle, like the motion of a spinning top. It takes 25,800 years for the Earth’s axis to complete one wobble, sway, or clockwise circle. We call this 25,800-year cycle of our planet the Platonic year. It is also referred to as the precession of the equinoxes or the great year in a comprehensive dictionary. The great year is one of the longest cycles that are well known to our astronomers. The sun’s plane, which is also called the ecliptic, crosses the equator each year on March 21, the day of the Vernal Equinox. At the exact location where the sun’s plane crosses the equator, the sun would be directly above the equator at high noon, and there would be no shadow cast by a perpendicular stick protruding from level ground at the equator.
In the cycle of the great year, the ecliptic intersects the celestial equator a little west from where it crossed the year before. This is known as the precession of the equinoxes. The sun, on a vernal or fall equinox, takes about 25,800 years to go all the way around the celestial equator or Zodiac and cross at the same point again.
When we take an imaginary line off the Earth’s North Pole axis and extend it into the heavens, we find that the line points at a star that we call Polaris, our ‘North Pole’ star. The cycle of the Platonic year causes the line off the North Pole to scribe a circle in the heavens approximately 25,800 years long. (Keep in mind the Big Dipper is used as the big hand on the clock to point to Polaris in the Little dipper. This clock has all the moving components of a clock folks. These two groupings of stars are used to locate many other important “lead” stars in other constellations as well).
(For emphasis he repeats) The Platonic cycle causes a slow backwards movement of the sun’s apparent position in the Zodiac when viewed on successive Vernal Equinoxes. We refer to this slow-backwards movement as the precession of the equinoxes. The sun’s apparent position moves a little bit west in a constellation when observed on the same day each year; it takes an equinox sun approximately 2,150 years to transit one of the twelve constellations on its 25,800-year jaunt around the Zodiac. At this point in history, the Vernal-Equinox sun is just entering Aquarius on the first day of spring. This is the scientific explanation for what we call the dawning of the Age of Aquarius or a new age.
The Zodiacal circle formed by these constellations is close to being aligned with our celestial equator. When the sun’s plane crosses the equator on the first day of spring, we could ask ourselves which of the twelve constellations is out behind our brilliant sun.
At this time in history the sun appears, to an observer on Earth, to be located between Pisces and Aquarius on the first day of spring. (Imagine that!)
If we were to check the sun’s position in the Zodiac on successive Vernal Equinoxes, we would see that it will take approximately 2,150 years for the spring sun to travel through the constellation of Aquarius on its way to Capricorn. If we were to live for 25,800 years, or one great year, we would witness twelve new ages. In the long view of things, the Earth has been at this place in the astronomical calendar thousands of times before, as each Platonic year spirals onward. Consider the twelve-star constellations of the Zodiac the same way we think about the twelve months in the annual cycle of our planet. (no thank you) The Earth year consists of twelve months of about thirty days in each month (let’s not be too accurate like the Abib Calendar of Elohim is stating the very day of a month to meet the command of Leviticus 23:37). In the Platonic year, there are twelve ages of nearly 2,150 years in each age. (We are in the Biblical 6,000 year age of man)
The name of an age is taken from the name of the constellation that the Vernal-Equinox sun or the spring equinoctial point is traversing. When used correctly, the Zodiac is the master calendar or the face of a clock for the Platonic year. (Not the Biblical year and not the intended purpose for these 12 stars)
Because there is no line in the heavens between the star constellations of the Zodiac, we find all the different shamans on the planet quoting us a different time for the start of our impending new age (Chaos and confusion. Who is the author of that. Our Elohim have one focal point on earth and it does not move westward each year Deuteronomy 11:12). Most people who are ‘into’ this esoteric knowledge point to the year A.D. 2000, plus or minus 40 years, as the dawning of the Age of Aquarius. (Wow just plus or minus 40 years) Since such a gradual shift of ages is transpiring and there is no precise date for this event, we will have to be satisfied with just welcoming you to the dawning of a new age.
Should we try to trace the sun’s vernal-crossing point as it moves a bit west each year on the equator itself, we would not discern any even pattern in its movement because of the nutational cycle. However, when we observe the position of the sun in the Zodiac on successive Vernal Equinoxes, the westerly movement will appear ‘steady’ (but it’s not) as each year passes, because the stars and sun are too far away to be affected by the cycle of the moon. (Just as they were supposed to be so they would not be lumped into the Biblical yearly cycle).
The nutational cycle is the 18.6-year cycle of the moon. This cycle causes every eclipse of the sun to repeat itself at a different place on the earth every 18.6 years. It also creates an 18.6-year wave or nodding in the precessional movement called nutation.
Heard enough guys?
This 12 star group-based clock of imaginary lines extending into the heavens as determined from its base line the equator on earth, is completely flawed in keeping accurate time for anything pertaining to the Biblical Year. To do so is a figment of one’s imagination just like its 12 boundaries are which are associated with its pagan usage, which let’s not forget, keep shifting all the time. Sounds like a greased pig, eh!
Those who use the zodiac/mazzaroth for Biblical calendar inclusion are deluded, or confused at best with all its components. That summed up is spiritual stupor. If you have tripped into its use please stand up and run for your spiritual life from it. Remember the quote above about what will happen to the kings and princes of Judah?
When people leave the natural Elohim designed use of something in creation for a deranged practice, evil will abound. That is what happens when people use an evil devised and imaginary use for the 12 stars depicting the crown of the Bride, the true Queen of Heaven, which are used to direct us to knowledge and understanding of this amazing eventuality of this segment of the timeline of the Plan of Salvation. When the Bride receives her spiritual and eternal crown, then there is no more use for this witness as its reality will have been fulfilled, thus the Creators do not need it as a witness any longer in the heavens. Nor seasons to test our faith. The earth’s rotation will be corrected from its current positioning with its 23.4-degree axis to a perfectly symmetrical one with the sun resulting in 30-day months and a 360-day year; as its purpose for perfecting the Bride has been accomplished and no longer will depend on faith and obedience to understand its composition. As the saying goes; it will be a no brainer from that time forward.
Thus, we see the Bride invested with the sun and standing on the moon and the 12 star crown on her head representing the victory of her accomplishments of using these instruments of instruction correctly, in keeping the appointed times of meeting with our Elohim. She has a very deep and intimate relationship with Father and Son. To one as a child, and the other as a bride, an eternal helpmate.
That’s how simple this all is folks. If you want to plug in the zodiac to the Abib Calendar have at it. Make sure you find a scriptural pattern for its use. Oh, that’s right, there is no pattern and not even one verse remotely supporting it in scripture; but many, many scriptures rejecting it for its pagan origins.
But Josephus says……! Yes, the traitor to his people, the only one the Romans kept alive to serve their purposes, and the one taught in the ways of Babylon, you mean that Josephus?
Sons of stupor!
Our peace we give to you!
