Glory of the Stars: A Study of the Zodiac

The author in this exciting and information filled book makes the dramatic connection between the Zodiac and the Bible and in so doing reveals The Gospel of Jesus Christ in the stars. Psalm 19: 1-4: The Heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament sheweth his handiwork. Day unto day uttereth speech and night unto night sheweth knowledge. Their line is gone out through all the earth and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun. Having declared that the heavens reveal God's glory the Psalmist informs us that the heavens declare a message in a language that is understood by all peoples. These starry worlds as such do show forth His handiwork but explain little about the glory of God. How then can the stars be made to speak in a language everyone can understand? The answer is quite evident. Pictures speak in all dialects. They speak a universal language to all peoples everywhere. Somewhere in the earliest ages of human existence the visible stars were named. Those names and groupings were at the same time included in certain figures natural or imaginary but intensely symbolic & significant. Today we know them as Constellations. It is well known that the ancient races drew charts of these Zodiacal Signs that ancient astrology was actually the father of astronomy. Astronomers sometimes denounce the Zodiac as unnatural & confusing yet they have never been able to brush it aside or substitute anything better or more convenient in its place. The Signs of the Zodiac are a part of the common universal language of astronomical science. Were such wonderful creations of almighty power and wisdom without purpose or meaning? Was there some original divine science connected with the star designs. The purpose of this study is to present the findings of past eminent scholars together with those of modern scientific investigators in order to show the stars do reveal words written in heavens - words that declare the glory of God. --------- CHAPTERS I-IV: THE REDEEMER PROMISED I - VIRGO: 1.
