THE GOSPEL STORY OF MESSIAH IS SEEN IN THE CONSTELLATIONS OF THE STARS

 

Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? Or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons? Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? Can thou set the dominion thereof in the earth? Job 38.31-32

The word Hebrew Mazzaroth as found here in Job means “Constellations” in English. The Gospel story is actually revealed in the night sky! The entire story of the birth of Messiah to His second coming is the story revealed in the constellations of the northern hemisphere.

We have been taught that the story in the constellations are stories from Greek Mythology about their gods and their exploits. That was not original purpose of the constellations. The Father is declaring His plan for us up there in the evening sky.

Don’t confuse this with astrology. The enemy polluted the true meaning of the story in the stars and it became Greek Mythology. It was originally put up there to show us God’s plan of redemption.

Yahweh put the story of the coming of His Son up there for all of us to see. This is what Psalm 19 is really describing. Let’s check this out (explanation in BLUE).

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows the work of his hands. The heavens are declaring the glory of God.

² One day provides a word for the next day, and one night declares wisdom unto the next night. Each day we receive a word from God and His wisdom at night.

³ There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. This Gospel story, as declared in the heavens can be understood by all peoples—no matter what language they speak. The “voice” of this story can be “heard” by all.

⁴ Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tabernacle for the sun. The sun travels through each constellation during its circuit each year. This line is called the eliptic path of the sun. The heavens are Yahweh’s tabernacle through which the sun travels.

⁵ which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber and rejoices as a strong man to run a race. The sun is representative of Yeshua the bridegroom. He comes out of his chamber rejoicing in the coming wedding feast.

⁶ His going forth is from the end of the heavens, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. This annual circuit of the sun reveals the Gospel story. It is not hidden—but displayed for the glory of God. It is a witness to human kind from the Father.

The second part of Psalm 19 then describes the Torah or word of God—His instructions to us. The story in the heavens is to lead us into a relationship with the Father. He then reveals His instruction to us—the Torah—to show us how to walk righteously in the paths of Yeshua.

I first read about this in a book by E.W. Bullinger (December 15, 1837 – June 6, 1913) an Anglican Clergyman. Mr. Bullinger had many unique views. I don’t agree with Mr. Bullinger on everything, but I believe he was a sincere seeker of truth. You can decide for yourself.

For example, Bullinger argued that the death of Jesus occurred on a Wednesday, not a Friday, after Pilate had condemned him at the previous midnight, and that Jesus was crucified on a single upright stake without crossbar. In this he was ahead of his time! If we understand how the Bible keeps time Yeshua was crucified on Wednesday evening in order to be in the grave three full days and nights as He said in Matt 12.10.

Bullinger argued for mortality of the soul, the cessation of the soul between death and resurrection. He did not express any views concerning the final state of the lost. Ezekiel 18.4; 20 confirms this. We become immortal when we are resurrected from the dead and receive our spiritual bodies (1 Corinthians 15).

Bullinger was a supporter of the theory of the Gospel in the Stars, which states the constellations to be pre-Christian expressions of Christian doctrine. He strongly opposed the theory of evolution and held that Adam was created in 4004 BC.

He was a member of the Universal Zetetic Society, a group dedicated to believing and promoting the idea that the earth is flat and on 7 March 1905, he chaired a meeting in Exeter Hall, London, in which the flat earth theory was expounded. I don’t agree with this!

As you can see Mr. Bullinger was right on some interesting issues and wrong on others. The Mazzaroth is very believable—but as I said, you may decide for yourself. It really opened up my understanding of Psalm 19.
