uttereth speech sheweth knowledgeThere is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world (Psa 19:1-4) The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. 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,

seed And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaventell the stars, if thou be able to number them So shall thy seed be (Gen 15:1-6) After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward. And Abram said, Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus? And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir. And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir. And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be. And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.

The constellation “Virgo,” meaning “virgin” is referred to as "Bethulah" in Hebrew, "Parthenos" in Greek, "Kanya" in Hindi – all of which mean “virgin.” This indicates a prior knowledge of the names of the stars and constellations prior to the language confusion at Babel. This knowledge may well have come down from Noah and even from Adam.

 There are two distinct star groups in Taurus: the Hyades and the Pleiades.  Hyades means “congregated”  Pleiades comes from the Hebrew for “gathering” and the Greek “Pleistos” or “Pleion” which means “The many”, “the excellent” or “the great”.  The Japanese name for the Pleiades is Subaru, and the Persian name is Soraya. Ancient Greeks called them "the clusterers."  The Bible sometimes refers to the Pleiades as the "seven stars" and sometimes to "Pleiades." NOTESNOTES

The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand (Rev 1:20) The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.

Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion (Amo 5:8) Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name:

Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades (Job 38:31) Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? Mazzaroth (Job 38:32) Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?

 The Hebrew name for this constellation means “Joined Together” as in Exodus 26:24.  The Romans called the twins Castor and Pollux which are now the names of the two brightest stars.  These are the Latin equivalents of Hercules and Apollo from the Greeks, the mythical twin sons of Zeus, the supreme deity.  Hercules was to labor and be the one who suffered while Apollo brought peace and intelligence to civilization NOTESNOTES

 The star in the left foot of one figure bears the name “Al Henah” which means “wounded” or “bruised.”  The star in the right knee of the other figure and bears the name “Mebsuta” which means “ to trample underfoot, tread down (step on many times until flat).”  Another star is called “Waset” or “Waseth” which means “appointed”. NOTESNOTES

 In Egyptian Zodiacs Cancer is represented as a Scarabeus Beetle.  In Hebrew it is ‘Ash’ or Butterfly.  To the Indians it was a Crab.  Ancient Sumerians saw it as a Crayfish. NOTESNOTES

Metamorphosis of Christ

(Php 3:20-21) For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven (1Co 15:42-47) So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.

And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God but we shall all be changed shall be changed (1Co 15:48-52) As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

(2Co 3:18) But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

(Job 19:25) For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: (Job 19:26) And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:

 The brightest star is Acubene which is related to the Hebrew word for “hiding place.”  This picture is reinforced by the Praesepe cluster. The word comes from Latin, means "a crib, a manger, a hive, or a fold for animals.“  The name "Cancer" may be related to Arabic. In old Arabic this sign was “Khan Ker” which means "priest-prince.“  The meanings of the name of the constellation itself and the associated stars may have to do with the Priest-Prince being our hiding place NOTESNOTES

(Psa 32:7) Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.

(Psa 119:114) Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word. (Psa 17:8) Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,

 Leo the Lion was the banner or standard for the tribe of Judah NOTESNOTES

(Gen 49:8) Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee. (Gen 49:9) Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up? (Gen 49:10) The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.

(Num 2:2) Every man of the children of Israel shall pitch by his own standard, with the ensign of their father's house: far off about the tabernacle of the congregation shall they pitch. (Num 2:3) And on the east side toward the rising of the sun shall they of the standard of the camp of Judah pitch throughout their armies: and Nahshon the son of Amminadab shall be captain of the children of Judah.

(Gen 37:9) And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.

(Rev 5:5) And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

 Leo the Lion was the banner or standard for the tribe of Judah  Brightest star is Regulus. Word Regel/Regal/Ragal is the Hebrew or Chaldean word for “foot.” So Regulus literally means to “tread under foot”. Because kings did this to their enemies the word became associated with royalty. NOTESNOTES

(Jos 10:24) And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the captains of the men of war which went with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them.

 The second brightest star is Denebola. In Arabic is means "tail of the lion." But Dan/Den/Din is the Hebrew root for “Judge,” and bo is "to come," so it is that Denobla means “The Coming Judge”. NOTESNOTES

 The next brightest star is named Algeiba (Arabic) or El Gibbor in Hebrew which means “The mighty God-man.” NOTESNOTES

The mighty God (Isa 9:6) For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

 So the story ends with the victorious Lion of Judah, the Mighty God-Man, the Coming Judge who will Tread Under Foot the enemy. Leo is “treading under foot” the Fleeing Serpent, NOTESNOTES

 Leo is “treading under foot” the Fleeing Serpent, Hydra, that Old Serpent, whose brightest star is Alphard “the Accursed One”. When that happens, Corvus the crow and the other raptors are called to the battle of the great Day of God at Armageddon where they feed on the flesh of the armies. This is the day when the Cup of God’s Wrath is outpoured, which is the significance of the constellation Crater the Cup. NOTESNOTES
