CONTENDING FOR THE ASTROLOGOS



Much attention is given to the written Word of God and also to the Incarnate Word, the Word in the flesh; yet who is contending for the Astrologos, the revelation of Messiah in the heavens? Psalm 19:1 claims that the heavens declare the glory of God; and since the glory of God is manifested in Messiah, we must come to grips that the devil has stolen and perverted the truth that Jesus Christ is revealed through the heavens in his effort to hide the Redeemer from mankind. Who thinks of Messiah when they look up at the stars, and how many know how to read the (true) astrologos? 

I began my research into biblical astronomy over 40 years ago, but its significance only recently hit me as I realized the consequences of Satan’s treachery that he stole God’s glory out of the heavens. It is almost like England seizing and holding the crown jewels of India. Satan is holding what rightfully belongs to Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah of God—the crux, or central theme, of the entire celestial cathedral. Satan, represented by the constellation of Draco (the dragon of retribution) centered in the highest spot in the north sky, has commandeered the understanding of the Messianic message and turned it into a mockery of astro-diviners, conjurers, and fortune tellers. All the while, the real truth being cloaked is the Astrologos—the promised Messiah of God, who is being beamed nightly to every spirit in the world. Sadly, it is not understood because Satan has blinded the hearts of those that believe. And while non-Christians don’t understand it, neither do the majority of Christians—nor do they even think about the Astrologos. Even if their thoughts should accidentally drift up to the stars to consider that there is a message in them, most Christians would view the “reading” of the constellations as an occult practice that belongs strictly to the devil and astrologers (astro-diviners).

In contending for the Astrologos, I am prepared to go the distance and into the parking lot too. This is personal to me because of my relationship with The Astrologos. In a deep prayer session in the celestial cathedral after returning from India, the Lord asked me if I was willing to negotiate with Satan over the astrologos. “Absolutely not,” I replied.  Then he said, “You have been already negotiating with him because he has the word astrology and you are afraid to take it back.” He finished with, “A religious spirit that has warped your thinking has had you duped.”

I know what this means: in order to get to the astrologos, I am going to have to go through the word “astrology” as well. The roots for both of these words are the same. Astro means “stars;” while logos is a Greek word meaning “word” and the root stem from which the suffix “ology” comes, meaning “the study of.” Contending for the astrologos (the word of the stars) necessitates redeeming from the devil’s clutches the term astrology (the study of the stars) as well.

So, is it wrong to study the stars? Of course not; and there is nothing evil about the word astrology, which is clearly defined as “the study of the stars.” The problem has come from Satan’s perversion of this word that has resulted in those who are actually mediums, spirit channelers, and conjurers being defined as “astrologers.” Why would he pervert the word this way? Because he is endeavoring to hide the prized jewel that the true study of the stars would reveal—the astrologos: the Word of the stars.

The main Hebrew word that is translated “astrologer” in the Bible is ‘ashshaph, and it is more properly translated as “conjurer.” Conjurers make up information about the future as they go, and endeavor to obtain it from spirit sources. They can’t get true information concerning the future from demons, because they do not have it. What the conjurers can do is send the demons out to do their bidding through black magic; and that gives them the illusion of knowing the future, when in reality they are witches conjuring demons to do assignments. These are not astrologers—these are astro-diviners. The payment that the demon gets from duping the person is a free ride in their body and the astro-diviner gets his pocket lined with the money coming from fleecing the victim. It is a win/win outcome for the demon and the astro-diviner, but a lose/lose outcome for the victim of the deception—and then to top it off they call themselves astrologers. They are not astro-ologers, they are astro-diviners.

(Incidentally, stealing words and claiming them for himself is not a new trick for Satan.  He also did it with the word “seer.” [See 1 Samuel 9:9.])

Thus, I use the word “astro-diviners” to accurately describe these occult activities instead of continuing to negotiate with the devil over the word astrologos and the word astrology. He can have his word “astro-diviners,” but I am taking back what belongs to my Master. As far as I am concerned, the proper terminology of those who have previously been called astrologers is now officially changed to astro-diviners; and, in addition, I now officially re-claim the word “astrology” in the name of Jesus Christ. Even if no one else recognizes this, I know what the Lord spoke to me when He asked, “Do you know how long it has been since anyone contended for my glory out of the heavens?” I may not know how long it has been, but I do know that I will contend for His glory out of the heavens; and I know that there are others who are eager to join in.

The heavens declare the glory of God, and I will not negotiate over the astrologos or its related word astrology. I am taking back what the devil has stolen from God’s family. Will you join me in contending for the Astrologos—Jesus the Messiah? He has been revealed as the Bright and Morning Star, the center of celestial revelation, the Promised One; and He is brilliantly displayed night after night over every village in the world. Satan has stolen the knowledge of God’s glory in the heavens—or, at the very least, hidden it from us to understand and share.

Jesus of Nazareth is Messiah, the Promised One, prophesied throughout all the Scriptures from beginning to end—not just in the Holy Bible but even within the ancient Vedas of India. He has come, and to this hour He is declared in the heavens day unto day and night unto night. The celestial lights tell of his first coming and the promise of Him returning as King of kings and Lord of lords.

Blessings on all who believe on Him through His first coming and who now await His return. He is the Astrologos!

Look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.                                                                                                Luke 21:28b

  1. Nowhere else in the creation of our Father do we see the celestial attributes surrounding our solar system. The ecliptic of the stars is just one of the wheels within wheels as told by Ezekiel. However, there is much more to this topic than just a ring of constellations.

    Just as Genesis 1:14 tells us, the lights of the heavens, the stars, are for signs, appointed times, days and years. These constellations are the celestial clock of our Father. Think of them as the face of a clock, as they give us the months of the year on one hand and the ages of humanity on a grander scale.

    Let's begin with the ages of humanity. In astronomy circles this is known as the precession of the spring equinox. The spring equinox, or Chief of Thousands as called by Enoch, is the first leader of the seasons and divisions of the year. In the time of Adam the spring equinox occurred in the constellation of Taurus. Two thousand years or so later, the spring equinox moved to Aries. Two thousand years or so later, the spring equinox moved to Pisces, where we are today. Though we are near the border of Aquarius as debate rages as to where the border is.

    On a smaller scale, the constellations give us the months of the year as determined by an alignment of the earth and sun. Sure, the evils of man have polluted this system of marking time, but none the less, this is the celestial clock of our Father.

    However, the moon has nothing to do with this celestial clock. Jubilees 2:9 tells us the sun is appointed to be the master of the calendar for Sabbaths, appointed times, days and years. Which agrees with Genesis 1:14. In fact, the moon mimics the sun, just as Lucifer tries to mimic our Father. The moon crosses the ecliptic of the stars twice in one of it's lunation cycles, just as the sun crosses the ecliptic of the stars twice in one of it's solar cycles. Though the moon only crosses the ecliptic of the stars by 5 degrees, compared to the sun crossing the ecliptic of the stars by 23.5 degrees.

    The new year begins with the sun crossing the intersection of the ecliptic of the stars at the equatorial plane of the earth. This event of a pin point of time gives us the basis of the calendar of Enoch. The spring equinox begins the new year, but according to the instructions of Enoch, the first day of the first month begins on the day after the spring equinox. Every month is thirty days plus the four leaders of the seasons, the equinox/solstice dates give us the commanded count of 364 days of the year. Of course, one would have to understand the calendar of our Father to understand why the commanded count of days is only 364 days of a 365.25 day year.

    I would be happy to teach the calendar of our Father to anyone interested. It is only by this means of marking time that the true Sabbath can be identified. Exodus 31:13 commands us to guard the Sabbath ABOVE ALL. It is a sign between us and our Father. Revelation 7 tell us about the 144,000 whop are sealed and protected with HIS sign just before the earth is struck with destruction. Revelation 14 shows us the 144,000 are seen on Mt. Tsiyon with the returning Messiah Yahusha. The 144,000 are called maidens, the bride of Messiah Yahusha. They are found blameless before the throne of our Father. They are called a special possession forever.

    Yes, the true Sabbath of our Father is that important.
