Constellations, Stars, Zodiac

 

Every atlas of the heavens is filled with figures and outlines of men, women, animals and other objects.

 

Each one includes a certain set of stars. These figures, together with the cluster of stars they embrace, are known as "Constellations."

 

The configurations are abstractions, bounded by certain imaginary and by no means defined lines.

 

Some of these apparent patterns were known and used by our forefathers for thousands of years.

Although it is commonly believed the characters and objects of the constellations came from Greek and Roman mythology, there is evidence of a far greater antiquity.

 

If we examine the records of the ancient nations of the 'world we find the Chinese, Chaldean and Egyptian astronomers recognized the same "signs", both as to the meaning of their names and their order.

 

This, in turn, suggests their zodiacs were but copies of an even older zodiac .

 

Because we find such universal agreement on the constellations, it is evident that the patterns were fixed according to some well-developed religion.

 

Sometimes the stars lend themselves naturally to the figures.

 

In the case with Scorpio the Scorpion, its heart is marked by the red star "Antarus", and the stars delineate a raised tail that seems ready to sting.

 

Also it is easy to discern the horns of Taurus the Bull; the right eye being marked by a bright star called "Al Debaran".

However, more often the stars suggest other, more obvious patterns. This would indicate the designer wanted the stars to conform to certain representations.

(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.

He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them among the heathens (like lost sheep)
