As we get nearer and nearer to the day of our redemption it seems that the big picture is coming into focus (Romans 13:11, 1 Cor. 13:12, Daniel 12:3-4, 10).  What was once blurry and far off on the horizon, is now right in front of our faces.  This post puts many of the puzzle pieces together using research from Craig Chester, Rick Larson, Scott Clarke, Michael Svigel, Scott Darby, Daniel Matson, Steven Sewell, and our own team, among others.  This is of course speculative, but I believe these are the most persuasive theories at present:

The Mazzaroth

Not only did God create and name the stars (Isaiah 40:26, Psalm 147:4), but He ordered them into constellations (Job 38:32, 9:9, 38:31; Amos 5:8).  Identifying signs in the heavens is not astrology, but is one of the four originally intended purposes for why the luminaries were created (Genesis 1:14; see also Joel 2:30-31, Matthew 24:30, Luke 21:11, 21:25, Acts 2:19-20, Revelation 6:12, 12:1, 12:3, 15:1).

Leo (The Lion): I believe this constellation represents the tribe of Judah when alone (Genesis 49:9, Revelation 5:5), but all of Israel when conjoined with three planets based on Joseph's dream in Genesis 37:9-10 and also the crown of twelve stars in Revelation 12:1; when Jupiter (the King Planet) encircled Regulus (the King Star) twice, the message was clear to the magi that a King had just been conceived or born in Judah.  After Jupiter passed Regulus it came into close conjunction with Venus, which may have signaled to the magi the fulfillment of the prophecy given in Numbers 24:17.

Virgo (The Woman): It might be better to associate the woman specifically with Zion (heavenly and/or earthly Jerusalem) rather than all of Israel, based on Isaiah 66:7-13, Galatians 4:26, and Revelation 21:2.  This constellation, along with Leo, seemed to be the focal point when God gave the prophecy of the woman in labor in Genesis 3:15-16 (the Fall of Mankind - possibly around August 5, 3915 BC) and also the prophecy of the woman in labor in Revelation 12:1-5 (occurring on September 23, 2017).

Gemini (God and Man reconciled): This constellation is near-universally depicted in ancient cultures as an immortal deity and a mortal man being reconciled in heaven forever after having been separated by death.  In the Spring of 33 AD, the planet Jupiter was right in the heart of the constellation and underwent an unusual retrograde path that may have signaled the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ - the Gospel.  Jeff made an intriguing discovery that this constellation, or at least the two figures depicted in the constellation, are mentioned by name in Acts 28:11.  The "twins" were carved into the ship that carried the Apostle Paul on his missionary journey to Rome.

Taurus (The Bull): This constellation perhaps pictures the Second Coming.  The Pleiades, which are part of this constellation, are mentioned by name a number of times in the Bible and may be inferred from Revelation 1:20 and Revelation 15:1.

Aries (The Ram): God provided a ram in place of Isaac when Abraham went to sacrifice his son.  Some 2,000 years later on April 3, 33 AD, right at 3:00 PM, earth was situated right in the heart of The Ram from the perspective of an observer on the moon.  In mid-2024 Jupiter passes by The Ram and enters The Bull, which may signal that Christ has transitioned from the Suffering Servant / Lamb of God into a rampaging bull bringing swift justice to the earth.

Libra (The Scales of Justice): It might possibly be associated with God's throne, but the connection is tenuous and I would be hesitant to be dogmatic about it.  In December of this year Jupiter will enter Libra after being "birthed" from Virgo, which may picture the male child being "caught up" to God's throne in Revelation 12:5.

Cancer (The Crab): A mystery.

Scorpio (The Scorpion): A mystery.

Sagittarius (The Archer): A mystery.

Capricorn (The Horned Goat): One of our readers noticed that in the Spring of 2021, the planet Saturn displaces Jupiter in this constellation.  The wicked are often likened to goats in the Scriptures and there might possibly be a connection between satan and Saturn, although I haven't been able to make a clear connection.  Satan is also frequently depicted as a horned goat, so this is an interesting occurrence, perhaps signaling the antichrist coming into the Third Temple and declaring himself to be god.

Aquarius (The Water or Cup Carrier): This constellation is aptly names Aquarius because it is always depicted as a man pouring out water onto the ground.  When you connect the stars below his right hand it looks like a wavy stream of water cascading to the earth.  For this reason, I postulate that this constellation may have been connected to Noah's Flood and sure enough, there are some interesting conjunctions between Aquarius, Jupiter, and other planets, in the likeliest years of the Flood: 2345 BC, 2333 BC, and 2321 BC.  The Bible says that the Flood began on the seventeenth day of the second month (Genesis 7:11).  In Jewish tradition this is placed in late Fall using Tishri as the first month, but biblically-speaking there is no explicit reference to the calendar ever starting in the Fall.  The Bible says the first month is Abib (Nisan), which is in the Spring (Exodus 12:2).  The second month would then be in the April to May timeframe each year, and in 2345 BC, 2333 BC, and 2321 BC, I discovered Jupiter doing retrograde through Aquarius in precisely the Spring timeframe.

Pisces (Fish): A mystery.

The Wandering Stars

Whereas the constellations of the Mazzaroth/Zodiac generally portray earthly entities, the five visible planets in our Solar System, which the Bible terms "wandering stars", seem to represent supernatural individuals or aspects of those individuals.  It appears that God uses rare conjunctions between these "wandering stars" and the constellations in the Mazzaroth to signal those on the earth that supernatural events are occurring.  These are the five "wandering stars":

Jupiter (Christ's Star): Much has been written about this already, so the connection seems rather unambiguous.  From Craig Chester and Rick Larson's work we have already identified Jupiter as Christ's star: it is the "king" planet representing the chief deity or the chief deity's son in ancient cultures throughout the Middle East and Europe and is covered in stripes just as Jesus was (Isaiah 53:5), has a Great Red Spot akin to Jesus' spear wound, and is the earth's primary celestial defense against dangerous asteroids and comets, functioning like a cosmic vacuum cleaner (1 Peter 2:24, Isaiah 53:4-6).  It is also the largest and dominant planet in the Solar System - two and a half times larger than all of the other planets combined.  We have also written at length about how the male child in Revelation 12:5 is Christ in union with His body, the Church (see here and here), so Jupiter may represent the Church (the body) in addition to Christ (the head).

Venus (Mother Star): This planet is a little more difficult to pin down because Venus was frequently called the "Morning Star" in the ancient world and still is to this day.  To add to the confusion, Jesus is called the Morning Star in Revelation 22:16 and there is a possible allusion to satan as the Morning Star in Isaiah 14:12.  What I discovered though is that the term "Morning Star" does not refer to a specific planet, but to any of the five visible planets in the morning sky.  Jupiter is a Morning Star, as well, and, as a matter of fact, Venus is also called the "Evening Star" when it is visible in the night sky.  Some have attempted to argue that the Morning Star is only Jesus or only Lucifer, but if we let Scripture interpret itself, you will find a huge clue in Job 38:7: the Bible says there are many Morning Stars.  Venus, then, in my humble opinion, must primarily signify its other ancient meaning: the Mother Star or Queen Star.  When the King Planet (Jupiter) and the Queen Planet (Venus) come into close conjunction it seems that an appearance of Christ is close at hand.  We saw this in June of 2 BC when Jesus was born and first appeared and we see it again in May of 2024 AD, when Jesus' second appearing may be close at hand.  We also see it in November of this year, about a month and a half after the celestial "birth" pictured in the Revelation 12 Sign.

Mercury (The Messenger, probably Michael): Mercury was universally recognized as The Messenger throughout the ancient Babylonian, Grecian, and Roman empires, so the meaning of this planet is pretty clear.  In the Bible, the creatures we now call "angels" were originally called "messengers".  In the Greek language, there were earthly messengers (apostolos) and heavenly messengers (aggelos).  Therefore we can probably narrow down the supernatural individual that Mercury represents to either Gabriel or Michael.  I am persuaded it is Michael because the Bible associates him with key events in redemptive history (Daniel 10:13-15, 21, 12:1; Revelation 12:7-8) and assigns him the chief role of "archangel" (Jude 1:9; see also 1 Thess. 4:16).

Mars (God of War): Mars in Rome, Ares in Greece, and Nergal in Babylon all referred to the same thing - the planet we now call Mars and their gods of war.  Like everything else, it is the One True God who made this planet, so the real God of War is YHWH.  On the 9th of Av in 2024 (August 14th), there is a very close conjunction of Jupiter and Mars in the horns of Taurus, that I think speculatively signals the onset of Armageddon and the imminent return of Christ.

Saturn (Satan?): I'm still researching this connection, but haven't found anything particularly concrete yet.  The Roman Saturn and the Greek-equivelant Cronus were obviously idols in the ancient world and the Bible directly connects idols with demonic beings (1 Cor. 10:20, Deut. 32:17, Psalm 106:37).  The Roman god Saturn was associated with liberation and modern satanic cults teach that liberation is the key element of luciferianism.  Cronus was imprisoned in hell-like Tartarus in Greek mythology and was also considered a god of cruelty and destruction, so that is another possible connection.  The last possible connection I've found is that our Saturday is named after the Roman god Saturn and it would make a lot of sense that satan would want to supplant the Lord's Sabbath Day with a day of his own.  All that being said, all the visible planets were named after ancient idols, so it's not yet clear to me that satan is represented more by Saturn than Zeus or Ra or Ba'al or any other false god, so-to-speak.

Like I said at the start, I think the big picture is coming into focus and the puzzle pieces are fitting together in some extraordinary ways.  What do you think?  If you have any theories for the constellations that remain a mystery or other dates missing on the timeline above I would be very interested in hearing them.  I personally believe that the Gospel is written in the stars and God is using the twelve constellations of the Mazzaroth to tell the story of the redemption of mankind.  If we could use God's Word to piece this together in a concrete way, just think of how many might come to know Him through it.

please consider that the first Spring Feasts of Lev. 23 were fulfilled to the DAY by Jesus/Yahshua. Passover the lambs were slain in the Temple at 3pm. Yahshua on the cross died at 3pm. That night (Nisan 15)began the Feast of Unleavened Bread for 7 days. Yahshua was in the grave, night one and the Passover Seder was eaten, which consisted of the lamb that was slain that day.

Yahshua rose from the dead to fulfill the Feast of First Fruits. This happened at sundown Saturday which became Sunday at sundown so Yahshua resurrected on the Feast of First Fruits. Fifty days later, the Feast of Shavuot or Pentecost the Holy Spirit came and fell on the Believers in Jerusalem.

GOD’S HOLY FEASTS, LEV.23, ARE HIS TIMECLOCK. Yahshua fulfilled the first 4 Spring Feasts with His first coming and will FULFILL the last 3 Fall Feasts with His second coming.

The evidence for the return of Christ occurring on the Feast of Trumpets is very compelling.

The Feast of Trumpets will fall on 9/21 or 9/22 this year.

It appears that 2017 is a unique year in human history where the literal, great sign of Revelation 12:1-3 is happening right now.

It appears that the “birth” part of this sign will happen on 9/23/17.

Another interesting sign in the heavens is happening this year.

On 8/21/17, a full solar eclipse will slash across one (and only one) nation — the US.

The “Tribulation” is not the same thing as Daniel’s seventieth week. The Bible calls the period of great trouble, unlike any other in history, “The Great Tribulation”. And it begins in the exact middle of Daniel’s seventieth week.

I don’t think this is news to you. But terminology is important.

Further, the Day of the Lord, is also distinct from Daniel’s seventieth week and the Great Tribulation.

You mentioned the pre-wrath rapture, so I assume you are familiar with the tenets of this position.

The demarcation between the Great Tribulation and the Day of the Lord is also a sign in the heavens. The sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood. This occurs AFTER the Great Tribulation and immediately PRIOR TO the Day of the Lord. The rapture is clearly identified as occurring immediately after this heavenly sign, which is fitting because the rapture is also clearly connected to the arrival of the Day of the Lord as well.

The solar eclipse that occurred during Christ’s crucifixion could not have been an ordinary one caused by the moon blocking the sun. It lasted far too long. So, assuming this heavenly sign occurred naturally as God designed from the dawn of time, there was some other massive object that passed between the earth and the sun on that day. It may be likewise when the sun and moon are turned dark.

Your site also seems to reserve the use of references to Christ’s second coming to His return at the end to defeat the anti-Christ and establish His rule on earth. The term “rapture” seems to be used to distinguish Christ’s return for the church (to meet us in the air). However, Biblically, the second coming is identified as His return for the church. Hebrews 9:28 is an exhortation to New Testament believers, i.e. the church. And it identifies the event we are waiting and watching for to be His second coming.
