Revelation 12 -- September 2017

1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; This is a thorny issue for many Christians. We know that horoscopes and astrology is condemned in the Bible. However we also know that when God created the stars and put them into the heavens they are for signs. It is not just for seasons and times, but also for signs. A great example is during the Lord’s birth when the Magi said they saw His star. Apparently Daniel taught them what the star would be that would signify the Lord’s birth, and that may have been based on Balaam’s prophecy in Numbers 24. So the truth is God created the heavens. There are 12 zodiac signs that we pass through over the course of a year and these 12 from the first sign of the Virgin, or the woman, the daughter of Zion, the bride of Christ, or in this case “a woman clothed with the sun”. To the last sign, Leo, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. This is the alpha and omega of the year and they tell the redemption story. I think you can go off on the deep end reading the story in the stars and it will never be better than the word of God. But when it comes to the signs that are clearly referred to in the word of God like this one, then it is quite interesting.
