NOTE: Over
the years since writing my first book: “The Language of God in the Universe”
back in 2004, my understanding of the Mazzaroth or Zodiac and the Gospel in the
Stars has grown exponentially. To give an overview of my ideas, I have produced
this summary, which is now included in my book “The Language of God in
History.” It incorporates all my newest findings concerning the forty-eight
constellations of the Zodiac, some of which are now also in the 2008 revised
edition of my first book.

1. Virgo the Virgin - A young maiden holding a leafy branch
and/or a small sheaf of grain - this represents the first prophecy in the Bible
of the woman (Eve and Miriam) who gives birth to the promised Seed (Seth and
Yahshua), who is also the Branch of Jesse and David (Isaiah 11:1, Jeremiah
23:5, 33:15). Coupled with Leo, this also signifies Yahshua as the First
(Virgo) and the Last (Leo) - as signified by the Great Sphinx in
•
Coma the Desired Son - a seated woman with an infant child
on her lap - the promised Seed of the Woman of Genesis 3:15, Yahshua the
Messiah being held in his virgin mother Miriam’s arms. This signifies the
promised coming of the Messiah from a virgin (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:22-23).
•
Centaurus the Centaur - usually seen as a centaur, which is a
half man and half cloven-hoofed sacrificial animal somewhat like a rider on a
horse. Often seen holding a spear that is piercing a victim, though he can also
be seen holding a bow with an arrow ready to fly. This signifies Christ as a sin
offering and atonement sacrifice (Psalm 22; Matthew 27; Hebrews 9).
•
Bootes the Coming One - Once named after its brightest star, Arcturus,
Bootes is most often depicted as a combination shepherd and harvester carrying
a shepherd’s crook and a sickle. Since Bootes appears to be lying prostrate at
Virgo’s feet, this decan signifies the first shepherd Abel lying at his mother
Eve’s feet after being murdered by the first farmer Cain, who likely used his
sickle to kill Abel. It also represents Yahshua as the Good Shepherd of the
flock of sheep represented by nearby Ursa Major, as well as the wrathful Judge
of the unfaithful flock signified by Ursa Minor (Matthew 23:34-36).
2. Libra the Scales, or Altar - shows Yahshua as the balancer of the
Scales of Justice who makes all those who love Him appear perfect even though
they are not yet so. To balance these scales for all people, and negate our
evil with His good, Yahshua became the sacrificial offering that brings reconciliation
and atonement. In addition, Libra signifies Revelation’s Rider on a Black
Horse, which brings famine and death in judgment. (1 Timothy 2:5-6; Hebrews
9:14-15, 12:24; Rev. 6:5). Libra’s 3 decans are:
•
Crux the Cross - Signifies Christ’s agonizing and
humiliating scourging, mocking, piercing, agony, and death on the Cross, which
He had to endure to pay the perfect blood price for all sin (Psalm 22:16; Zech.
12:10; John 19:34-37; Rev. 1:7).
•
Victima the Victim, aka. Lupus the Wolf - The object of Centaurus’ spear thrust,
this wolf is a symbol for Christ, who freely offered Himself up and was pierced
unto death to pay for our sins (see references for Crux). In addition, this
sign signifies the countless saints who have been (and still are being)
ruthlessly martyred for their faith in Christ (Rev. 6:9-11).
•
Corona Borealis the Northern Crown - This crown signifies Christ’s
kingship and authority over all of creation, and also the authority over the
Earth given to mankind that was wrestled away via sin and Satan, but that
Christ won back for us by His blood (2 Corinthians 5:17-21).
3. Scorpio the Scorpion - represents Satan as our enemy, with
claws to entrap us, as well as to seemingly thwart Christ. Satan sought to
fatally sting Christ’s heel through the crucifixion - not realizing that he had
just sealed his own defeat. Indeed, Satan’s folly allowed Christ and all who
follow Him to put Satan under their feet, or authority. Scorpio signifies the
fulfillment of Genesis 3:15, when the Seed of the Woman who is Christ will
triumph over the seed of the Serpent - the Antichrist (See also Matthew 13:38).
In addition, Scorpio signifies Revelation’s Pale Horse that is ridden by
Ophiuchus in judgment. Scorpio’s 3 decans are:
•
Serpens the Serpent - the original Serpent who beguiled Eve
with lies is caught in the Christ figure Ophiuchus’ mighty grasp, where he has
no chance of winning even though he still tries to snatch Christ’s crown - as
found in the Corona Borealis constellation near Serpens’ head. This serpent
also signifies all those in that “brood of vipers” that hates Christ and follows
their evil spiritual father: Satan (Matthew 3:7, 12:34-35; John 8:44: Rev.
12:9).
•
Ophiuchus the Serpent Holder - this big constellation hovering over
Scorpio represents a mighty man that is wrestling with and subduing Serpens,
which represents Satan. This mighty man is Christ and His foot is over
Scorpio’s head just as Hercules’ foot is over Draco’s - in mimicry of the feet
of Christ that will one day crush Satan and all who follow Satan. In addition,
Ophiuchus is Revelation’s Rider on a Pale Horse, which is depicted by Scorpio (Genesis
3:14-15; Rev. 6:8).
•
Hercules the Mighty Man - Like Ophiuchus, this Mighty Man is Christ
as a victorious warrior holding a club as he raises his foot to crush the head
of Draco the Dragon, which represents Satan in his most beguiling and
malevolent form (Genesis 3:15; Romans 16:20).
4. Sagittarius the Archer - Here we see Christ depicted as a half
man, half sacrificial animal just as in Centaurus - a composite image that can
also be viewed as Christ victoriously riding his white horse Pegasus - as he
aims his bow and arrow at the heart of the enemy seen in adjacent Scorpio. In
addition, Sagittarius is Revelation’s Rider on a White Horse, which depicts the
Gospel being preached during the seven-year Great Tribulation (Zechariah
9:12-14; Revelation 6:2). Sagittarius’ 3 decans are:
•
Lyra the Lyre or Harp - This harp carved to look like an
eagle represents the exaltation, thanks, and praise due to Christ as the Eagle
who destroys the Serpent. The saints Raptured before the worst part of the
7-year Tribulation will sing Yahshua’s praises - as will the Ephraimite saints
in the USA and elsewhere when they are caught up to receive everlasting life at
the end of the Great Tribulation (Rev. 7:9-12, 19:5-6).
•
Ara the Altar - An upside down altar set ablaze with unclean sacrifices.
This represents the Lake of Fire that the Dragon - who is Satan and the spirit
of the Antichrist - and all the unrepentant wicked are to be cast into in two
waves: once at the end of the Great Tribulation, and once at the end of the
world (Revelation 19:20, 20:10-15).
•
Draco the Dragon - This destroying Dragon representing
Satan and the Antichrist is coiled around the imperiled sinners represented by Ursa
Minor in the circumpolar region of the sky that never sets. Surrounding him are
the constellations Cepheus and Cassiopeia signifying the true King and Queen of
the Universe: Yahshua and His Bride, the True Church - who together will
vanquish Satan and cast him into the
5. Capricorn
the Goat-fish - A creature
that is partly a dying goat signifying the sinful people that perished in the
Flood, and partly a lively fish signifying the eight righteous people who
escaped judgment on Noah’s Ark. As such, Capricorn represents both judgment and
mercy. Just as humanity was saved from the Great Flood via the Ark, all future
humanity will be saved by Christ, who is represented by the Noah’s Ark as well
as the Ark of the Covenant (Matthew 4:18-20). Capricorn’s 3 decans are:
•
Sagitta the Arrow - Per Zechariah, Judah is God’s bow,
and Ephraim is His arrow, and together they will aid Christ when He comes to
destroy His earthly enemies at the Battle of Armageddon (Zechariah 9:13-15).
•
•
Delphinus the Dolphin - A dolphin vigorously leaping upward
symbolizing deliverance from evil and the resurrection of the dead. This fish
is tied to the Sign of Jonah that Christ gave, for just as Jonah was dying in
the belly of the fish for three days and nights, so Christ was dead in the tomb
for three days and nights before He rose up from the dead (Matthew 12:39-42;
16:1-4; Luke 11:29-32).
6. Aquarius the Water Bearer - This man pouring water out of an urn
into the mouth of a big fish signifies Yahshua as the Living Water pouring out
His Holy Spirit like a river to all of God’s people, just as Moses delivered water
to the Israelites out of a split rock (Numbers 20:8-11; Joel 2:28-29; Acts
2:14-17; John 4:10-11, 7:38). It also signifies Noah’s and his family’s’ deliverance
from the Great Flood (Genesis 6:18, 7:7).
•
Piscis Australis the Southern Fish - This fish
signifies the Ark of Noah that delivered eight people from utter destruction.
It also represents the everlasting refuge from death and deliverance from
destruction that all repentant sinners can find in Yahshua, who gave the Sign
of Jonah (Matthew 12:39-42; 16:1-4; Luke 11:29-32)
•
Pegasus the Winged Horse - The White Horse that Christ will ride
when He returns, which is like the white horses of His saints who will be
following Him out of Heaven (Revelation 19:11-14).
•
Cygnus the Swan, or the Northern Cross - With the North America Nebula near to
Deneb, the brightest star in this constellation, it signifies the pure and
soaring heights that Christianity once reached in
7. Pisces the Fishes - two fishes bound to Cetus the Sea
Monster by ropes tied to their tails, making it impossible for them to flee.
However, the fishes are protected by the restraining influence of Aries, the
Ram that signifies Christ as the Redeemer. Through Christ’s Spirit, believers
receive freedom from bondage to sin and unity with Christ. The fish near to
Andromeda signifies Jews (i.e. Judah) and legalistic Christians who remain
bound to the Mosaic Law, while the fish swimming along the path of the Sun and
hovering over the back of the heavenly horse called Pegasus represents the Gentile
Church (i.e. Ephraim) that will be Raptured. In addition, the fish that
signifies
•
The Band - this band or rope binds the fishes of Pisces to Cetus the
Sea Monster, and represents the bondage of all humanity to Satan and sin and
the captivity of God’s people who were never taught to be noble and fierce
warriors in the Kingdom of God, as the constellation Cassiopeia under Aries suggests
we must be in order to be victorious in Christ (Eccles. 7:20; Romans 3:22-23; 1
John 1:8).
•
Andromeda the Chained Woman - Andromeda was a princess who was
bound to a stone to be eaten by Cetus the Sea Monster (a decan of Aries) in
sacrifice. She signifies the Israelites who were first enslaved in
•
Cepheus the Crowned King - Cepheus the king is paired with
Cassiopeia his Queen (a decan of Aries) in the northern sky. This king
signifies Christ as the King of kings, who is ruling alongside His Bride the
8. Aries the Ram - a ram whose front hooves are resting
over the band that binds the Pisces fishes to Cetus, recalling the prophecy in
Genesis 3:15. This sacrificial male lamb represents Christ as the Lamb of God,
who died for our sins. In the process, Christ allows us to break the binds of
sin, fear, terror and death that Satan holds us by. When we are covered by the
blood of Christ, we can claim His authority over demons, sickness, oppression,
and death. Sadly, however, very few exercise that authority. Thus, they are
like Andromeda - made powerless by her enslaved relatives (i.e. false teachers)
and held captive by Satan Finally, along with Taurus, Aries forms a heavenly four-horned altar with the
ram being a symbol of the lambs sacrificed daily as sin offerings in ancient
Israel (Genesis 3:15; Exodus 12:21, 29:38-39; John 1:29: Rev. 5:6-13, 7:9-10,
21:22-23). Aries’ 3 decans are:
•
Cassiopeia the Enthroned Woman - this is Christ’s Queen, the
•
Cetus the Sea Monster - this giant sea monster or leviathan signifies
Satan as the Dragon in Revelation, who is threatening to eat the fishes of
Pisces that represent the
•
Perseus the Breaker - is a Mighty Man that breaks the binds
holding Andromeda - just as Christ can break Satan’s hold when Christ’s saints
exercise His authority. When they look to Christ’s blood for their authority,
God’s people can help in the spiritual war to bind Satan and his followers, and
to free all those still being held captive. Like Cetus, Satan attempts to
destroy God’s people with a constant flood of evil, which can only be stopped
by born-again Israelites (i.e. Christ’s Messianic and Gentile saints), who are
victorious in Yahshua and are not afraid to use His authority to protect
themselves. This is why Perseus’ foot rests above the Pleiades, which signifies
six of the Seven Churches of Revelation. Perseus is a warning sign that many apostates
who think they are Christians will be left behind, with some siding with, and
being destroyed by the Antichrist, while many others will find faith and
strength in suffering during the Tribulation (Jeremiah 51:19-24; Daniel
2:44-45, 8:25; Micah 2:12-13; 1 Cor. 3:13-15; Phillip. 1:27-29).
9. Taurus the Bull - this raging or excited red bull
charging forward with its two horns lowered in self-defense is a dual sign that
signifies the great material blessing, power, and forgiveness given to those
who love Christ., as well as Christ’s coming in judgment against those who hate
Him and despise His blessings. These two opposing groups are depicted by Taurus’
two horns, and the two star clusters that are a part of its body. Both of these
groups of people profess to be loved by God, but have little else in common.
The Pleiades are connected to Taurus’ left or wayward horn, while and Hyades are
connected to its right, or righteous horn. The symbol of the Unicorn represents
the righteous horn of Taurus. In addition, Perseus is Revelation’s Rider on a
Red Horse, the bringer of war and judgment that is depicted by Taurus. Finally,
along with Aries, Taurus forms a heavenly four-horned altar with the bull being
a symbol of the bulls sacrificed outside the camp as sin offerings in ancient
Israel, just as Christ was sacrificed as a sin offering outside of Jerusalem’s
walls (Exodus 29:36-37; Lev. 4:4-12; Deut. 33:17; Mat. 27:33-37; Rev. 6:4). Taurus’
3 decans are:
•
Orion the Hunter or Brilliant - envisioned as a Mighty Man striding
forward with his sword raised in battle, this large, bright constellation that
looks like an hour-glass or wine cup is very easy to spot in the sky for a
reason. It is one of the most important constellations in the Star Gospel, with
many layers of meaning and startling End Time applications. Besides signifying
the Patriarch Joseph as a prince of
•
Eridanus the River - This fiery river flowing downward
from Orion’s foot is the heavenly counterpart to the Jordan River in
•
Auriga the Goatherd - when drawing a star diagram of this
constellation, I envisioned it as a shepherd holding a pregnant goat in his
arms. As such, it depicts Christ gently caring for the unruly goats in His
flocks even though they are not gentle and kind like His obedient sheep. In
this way, this sign cleverly portrays the mercy and forgiveness that Christ
will extend to His wayward flocks now, and during the Great Tribulation - at
the moment that these spiritual goats realize their folly, repent and fully turn
to Him for help, and thereby avoid the hellish fate of the goats who refuse to
repent (Psalm 28:8-9; Mat. 25:31-41; Heb. 9:13-14).
10. Gemini the Twins - The twin stars Pollux and Castor mark
two people being united either in a Marriage or Adoption Covenant. Biblically,
they signify warring brothers who will eventually reconcile through Christ.
These include Isaac and Ishmael, Jacob and Esau, and the Two-House Church of
Judah and Ephraim as a Gentile bride and Jewish groom. United in love, some
from among all of these fighting pairs will learn to love and forgive one
another through Christ, which will give them the right to attend the glorious Wedding
of the Lion of Judah and His Jewish brothers with His Gentile Bride, the Church
(Ezekiel 37:16-19; Zech. 9:13; Malachi 1:1-4: Romans 11:17-24). Gemini’s 3
decans are:
•
Lepus the Hare or Enemy - Lepus is not a hare at all, but a
Serpent signifying Satan whose head is beneath Orion’s foot as a symbol of
Christ crushing the Devil’s head. Furthermore, the river Eridanus begins where
that foot and head meet, signifying the Lake of Fire that Satan will one day be
cast into (Exodus 15:6; Mat. 13;39; Luke 10:19; 1 Cor. 15:25-28).
•
Canis Minor the Lesser Dog - though seen as a small hunting dog
trailing behind Orion the Hunter, this constellation’s brightest star Procyon
is tied directly to the real Mount Sinai, which is the mountain called Jabal Al
Lawz in modern
•
Canis Major the Greater Dog - though seen as
a large hunting dog trailing behind Orion the Hunter, this constellation’s
bright double star system consisting of Sirius A and B is tied directly to the town
of Bethlehem and the City of Jerusalem, of which Bethlehem is a suburb. The
true meaning of this constellation therefore has little to do with dogs or
hunting, but signifies the
11. Cancer the Crab - actually signifies the gathering of
God’s people
•
Ursa Minor the Little Bear or Dipper - this sign is seen as a little bear
today, though in ancient times it was seen as a sheep pen with sheep going in
and out of it. Along with Ursa Major, it represents Christ’s Parable of the
Sheep and the Goats, and the final harvest of humanity into groups of good
sheep and evil goats at the end of the ages. In this case, Ursa Minor signifies
a flock of unruly goats, which signify rebellious people with sinful hearts,
some of whom will just barely escape Hell when they finally repent at the last
moment (Matthew 7:22-23, 25:41-46; 1 Cor. 3:15; Jude 1:21-23).
•
Ursa Major the Big Bear or Dipper - this sign is seen as a big bear
today, though in ancient times it was seen as a sheep pen with sheep going into
it. This signifies a spiritual sheep pen or congregation of good sheep that
follow Christ, the Good Shepherd and Lamb of God. It signifies the heavenly
pasture where Christ is gathering his faithful flock. It also signifies the
good sheep that will be gathered into a large fold to inherit everlasting life
in paradise (Matthew 25:31-40; Luke 12:32; John 10:16, 21:17: 1 Peter 5:2-4).
•
Argo the Ship (i.e. Carina) - this big constellation that
symbolized a large sailing ship has recently been divided up into four smaller
constellations that name various parts of a ship. Argo once included the bright
star
12. Leo the Lion - A reclining or pouncing male
lion with the king star Regulus at the top of his forelegs - This lion
signifies Christ as the victorious Kings of kings, and the conquering Lion of
the Tribe of Judah. Yahshua is the Seed of the Woman and the King of kings (or
Prince of princes). Yahshua is also the First and the Last to defeat the Serpent’s
Seed by crushing its head with His foot. The lion’s body of the Great Sphinx in
•
Hydra the Serpent - this serpent signifies the evil
hearts and deeds of men who worship Satan, and follow the Antichrist and his
armies. All of them will be torn to pieces and cast into Hell by the Lion of
Judah at the beginning and end of His Millennial Rule (Rev. 12:9, 14-15,
20:2-10).
•
Crater the Cup - this is
the Cup of God’s Wrath that will be poured out on all wicked apostates during
the Great Tribulation. This cup also represents the
shed blood of Christ that God the Father, in His role as His Son’s “Avenger of
Blood” seeks vengeance for (Numbers 35:19, 21;
Romans 12:19; Rev. 14:10, 16:19, 18:6). It also represents the blood-filled
cup in the hand of the Harlot of Babylon who rides the Scarlet Beast, and who
the Lion of Judah will soon vanquish forever. The blood in this cup belongs to
the many martyrs who died because of their faith in God the Father and His Son
(Rev. 17:4-6).
•
Corvus the Crow - this sign signifies the birds of prey
that will devour the flesh of the Antichrist’s armies, which will be slain when
they fight against Yahshua and His angels and saints at His Second Coming (Rev.
19:17-21).
