International explorer, archaeologist and author,
Jonathan Gray explores the ancient roots of the signs of heaven (Gen 1.14) and how they tell a prophetic parable reaching back to the earliest memories of man, known in all tongues and tribes the world over, about the promise of a savior -- the seed of the woman -- who will once and for all abolish evil.
Traces of this prophecy can be seen in the ancient religions of the world. Now let us return to the original intent of the zodiac, before it was corrupted into various forms of idolatry and confused with the pure ideals as expounded and shown in scripture culminating in the
Bethlehem star event, that is the wandering star Zedeq (
Jupiter), meaning "Righteousness" -- a title of the
Messiah being the king of righteousness,
Melchizedek (Jer 23.6, 33.16; Heb 6.20-7.2).
"He counts the number of the stars; He gives names to all of them."
-Psalm
147.4
"Canst thou bind the sweet influences of
Pleiades, or loose the bands of
Orion? Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth [zodiac] in his season? or canst thou guide
Arcturus with his sons? Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?"
-Job 38.31-33 (ca. 2000-1600
BCE)
"The heavens declare ("caphar") the glory of El (God); and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. ***Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.*** In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. The law of
YHWH is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of YHWH is sure, making wise the simple."
-Psalm 19.
1-7 (
10th century BCE)
"faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. But I say, Have they (Gentile nations) not heard?
Yes verily, ***their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.***"
-Romans 10.17-18 (56 CE)
"The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory. Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all elohiym (gods)."
-Psalm 97.6-7
"
Lift up your eyes on high and see: who created these? He who brings out their host by number, calling them all by name, by the greatness of his might, and because he is strong in power not one is missing
."
-Isaiah 40.26 (ca 711 BCE)
"YHWH hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen. He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of
Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our Elohiym (God)."
-Psalm 98.2-3
"And He (YHWH) took him (
Abraham) outside and said, 'Now look toward the heavens, and count ("caphar" - count; relate; DECLARE, same term used in Ps 19.1: "The heavens declare ("caphar") the glory of El (God)") the stars, if you are able to count ("caphar") them.' And He said to him, "So shall your seed ("zera"; Zera, or
Spica in
Latin, is also the name of the alpha star held by the woman in the constellation Bethulah, or Virgo in Latin) be."
-Genesis 15.5 (ca
2081 BCE)
"and to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed; He doth not say, 'And to seeds,' as of many, but as of one, 'And to thy seed,' which is
Christ [...] Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator."
-Galatians 3.16, 19 (54 CE)
"
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; he shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
-Genesis 3.15 (ca
4000 BCE)
"
Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat (a seed) falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit"
-John 12.24 (30 CE; written ca 90 CE)
Modern research pinpoints Yeshua's birth within 90 minutes to the evening of
September 11, 3 BCE or Tishri 1, the
Jewish New Year (
Rosh Hashanah, thematic
of new beginning and new birth) and day of trumpets, as described with astronomical precision by
St. John in
Revelation 12.1 depicting the celestial event in Bethulah (virgo) which reflected the earthly event of the virgin birth and may have further fulfillment in the future at the second coming:
