All things work together. God made no mistakes. He created all things to work together.

I was heavy into it as a teenager until the Holy Spirit started opening my eyes to the falseness of it all. I think for me, I felt a sense of some sort of identity or self-knowledge about myself or others. But when you start to study, many authors will tell you so many conflicting information. And the most important thing, I found it foolishness to prejudge people based off their birth date! God is way bigger than that. When you get off into birth charting and astrology readings, you are leaning on another source or idol for knowledge and the Holy Spirit is not in that! He will give you the understanding that you need, tell you who to have in your circle, which job you should choose, and what He wants to prune or uproot off of you so that your character reflects Jesus Christ more and more. Satan is the ultimate identity thief so anything outside of the Word of God that will try to tell us who we are, should be researched and questioned before we try to attach ourselves to it.

Let the Good Shepherd and Holy Spirit be your only guide.
John 14:6;26 👑🕊️
“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.”

The heavenly bodies do not hold or grab our life. They are just hint and guidance in our daily living... 😇

Isiah 48:13:14 is completely misunderstood. It doesn’t say that the astrologers, stargazers will be as stubble. It’s referencing that the sinners will stubble. It clearly states Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up and save thee from the things that shall come upon thee. Meaning that they will predict the coming judgements or revelations. To warn you of what’s to come. It doesn’t say that being an astrologer is a sin. This is a totally false interpretation.

Thank you sir this is the exact video I needed to hear after seeing astro theolgy and Jordan Maxwell videos

[benjaminhuggins]

I never got into it heavy. Before the bible taught me that it wasn't real common sense taught me. How can you describe how someone is going to be by a sign? How can it describe one's destiny like this video says? Because I'm born in this period of time I'm automatically bad for this or that person? Or I'll never amount to certain things that others do amount to? It doesn't add up and the bible explains why

I've studied astrology and not once did I get an impression that we should worship the stars as a divination thing, nor the fact are they any kind of God's or that they change my fate or "destiny"

I've always got the impression that the stars were moreso "Tools" than anything. Like the moon has its own energy frequencies and impacts Tidal waves of the ocean, so to do the stars (imo), but that doesn't mean I get on my knees and start worshiping them.

Stars are just like our sun and emit vast amounts of energy, and I believe that energy can influence us and our personalities perhaps. Maybe God uses the stars as instruments to shape and mold us as strictly unique, there are after all, quadrillions of stars, like a tool to shape us. Thoughts?

The 12 tribes of Israel (children of Saturn) are the constellations Aries thru Pisces. Does anyone know how ten of them got lost?

[romano]

I surely can appreciate that you shoot one verse after another rather than make up a stretch of personnal theory.
Nicely done! 👍

[tinaferr]

I think the danger is when you get into divination/prediction. And change your actions according to that. And it can be unconscious. So that's playing God. Following a false idol's plan. If you can use it to understand God's world (and know yourself to maximize your potential to follow God) I don't think it's bad. But it's hard.

"They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera."

How about the star that gave sign to the 3 wise men when they search for Jesus?

[aamirshahzad]

Thank u good knowledge for.
One question from me ..
Christians wear a gemstones or not plz answer.

[nfldreamboy]

So if I like my zodiac sign or whatever is that sin? Not saying I’m praising to it but I just like the way it looks . I’m a Libra

[zonderblu]

Believe it or not all those signs personalities are actually accurate. We are born with that personalities that’s why Jesus said we must be born again.

I'm fascinated by the stars and how astrology ties into religion as well as the symbolism in our world... It's everywhere! Ok, for example; Have you ever seen Jesus depicted with a triangular halo? Also, Jesus depicted on the cross is always in the same position - head off to one side and down etc... Look at the shape of the constellation Cygnus, the head of which is one corner of the summer triangle. It may also explain why angels have white feathery wings (possibly a metaphoric reference to this). Deneb, the brightest star in Cygnus or the 'head' of Jesus in this case has the highest xray radiation measured of any other known star. 🤔
Jesus had 12 deciples (the 12 signs of the zodiac and as you pointed out, Judah represented by Leo). I have also noticed that symbols representing countries also tie in with astrology. America being the eagle (Aquilla), England being the lion (Leo), Scotland the unicorn (Monoceros), Russia the bear (Ursa Major), Wales the Dragon (Draco) and as if to prove it, Ireland is a harp (Lyra).
I had a deeply spiritual experience a couple of years ago which showed me all of this and i'm really trying to figure it out and share my findings. It is imperative to mankind! I believe we are now in the times of revelation and the first trumpet has sounded. Look at EVERYTHING going on in the world at the moment and the symbols and numbers that go with it all and tell me i am wrong.

(Interesting how your video is 4.44 - thats a whole other conversation though!)

12 disciples, 12 zodiac signs, age of pieces represents the 2 fish if you don't know the bible you never understood astrology, also Jesus is represented as the sun or son, both esoteric and exoteric you need to be smart to understand the Bible.

There is another possible view as well. See what Dr. Heiser says about it in Bible Nerds.
