The Bible is based on Astrology..

Judaism and Astrology

Astrology is very common in Judaism. Astrological motifs exist in proliferation throughout the major Judaic holy books: the Torah, Zohar, Talmud, and Midrash, etc,. Many scholars have attempted to explain these passages away, but their arguments are spurious and often ludicrous. One Jewish writer's book on astrology was penned so that Jews who were tempted to seek truth in areas outside of orthodox Judaism (new age, occultism, eastern mysticism, etc) should remain where they are and be contented since within Judaism there is an occult college to be tapped, one which includes not only Kabala, but Astrology.

Clearly, astrology existed long before the rise of Judaism and early "Jews" were major star worshippers. Scholars attempt to re-write the story of Jehovah's creation of the universe so that it can appear that Jehovah created the zodiac and therefore it is okay for Jews to acknowledge astrology. It is even said that Jews would be guided by their horoscopes if they did not have the Torah. Lets witness the careful supplanting and duplicity for ourselves, by reviewing a few passages from M. Glazerson's book on Judaism and the zodiac. In his book, entitled: Above the Zodiac, we read:

In the Code of Jewish Law (vol. 1 Ch. 179 Par.1), we find a prohibition against the consultation of one's astrological forecast...Not withstanding the prohibition, Rabbi Moshe Isserles (Code of Jewish Law. Vol 179 Par.2) hands down a decision that, "One who has heard a forecast from a competent astrologer may take this information into account, and ought not to act contrary to the astrological influence... (Page 9)

The Zohar (Vol III P. 216) states, "From the time that the Torah was given to Israel the Israelites were withdrawn from the rule of the stars and constellations: however, if one does not follow the ways of the Torah, he returns to be under the domain of the natural influences - (Page 9)

This is a most revealing passage. It tells us that the Jewish rabbis and authorities know that astrology works. They take a fairly lenient attitude with it, and even think of astrology as an aid to living a moral life, as dictated by the Torah. (Judaism as a religion is vastly more lenient and egalitarian than Christianity). The passage also lets us know that the Jews, before the advent of the Torah were most likely assiduously committed to the science of astrology, so much so that its study is not considered wholly banished or reprehensible. In another passage, we clearly see the careful sophistry which subtly allows one to form their own lenient opinion on the connections between Torah and Zodiac.

In the Talmud we find various statements regarding the influences of the astrological signs on the Jewish people...Nachmanides writes: "The edicts of the stars constitute the basis of the hidden miracles mentioned in the Torah. However, the Jew, through the power of his choice and through his walking in the way of the Torah, may rise above the astrological influences - (Page 10)

Not being able, or even willing to wholly dispense with the science of astrology, the Jewish scholars then had to make astrology appear endorsed by God himself. The signs of the zodiac existed long before Judaism, that could not be refuted, but a Jewish coloring could subsequently be given to the signs and their meanings. In this way, later generations would perhaps accept that astrology, as a science, originated with the Jews. Jewish scholars probably realized that their religious customs and idioms were so littered with astrological motifs, that it would be an impossible task to ignore astrology, and that it would not be feasible to advocate that astrology played no part in Judaism. Therefore, it was decided to not only tacitly endorse astrology, but to add to the astrological canon a patently Jewish veneer.

The 33 years of Christ's ministry
This is a number that connects directly with the zodiac and the movement of the sun around it. As mentioned above, the sun takes 2,160 years to pass backward through one sign of 30 degrees. Now this number 2160 or its shorter version 216, is a number that turns up in megalithic construction throughout the world. It was encoded into most of the cyclopean structures, to represent the Serpent or Sidereal Cults who were the Magi, or astrologers. Now it takes 2,160 years for the sun to clear a house. In degrees this is 30. But the sun enters at the 30th degree but is not totally clear until the 33rd degree, as it is of a certain size also. This is why they said in the Bible that the ministry of Christ begins at 30 and finishes at 33. This reference would have been unmistakable to anyone aware of the secrets of astrology. The number is connected to the initiation of the "Sun" of god not "Son," passing through the zodiac. This is why the Freemasonic lodges also utilize the number. There are also 33 vertebrae in the spinal column.

People need to realize where their Book is based out of.

The Great Year
Another one of Christianity’s insanities has to do with the end of the world and Jesus’ second coming. For 2,000 years they have been waiting without satisfaction. The King James Version of Matthew 28:20 reflects that view.

20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. (Matt. 28:20 KJV)

It was a misinterpretation. According to the authoritative Strong’s Dictionary, “world” was mistranslated from the Greek, aion, meaning “an age”. Ignorant of astrology, Strong’s goes on to say aion implies “world”. There are some powerful differences between world and age.

A fundamentalist favorite, the New International Version gets it right with “age”.

20teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (Matt. 28:20 NIV)

The “end of the world” implies some kind of calamity like a giant meteor or a nuclear war. If something like that happens, one’s faith is not going to make a difference. The end of the age refers to an astrological age within the Great Year.

The Earth's rotation axis is not uniform. Like a rotating toy top, the direction of the rotation axis has a slow wobble or precession with a period of 25,920 years.

Since the rotation axis is precessing in space, the orientation of the Celestial Equator (Figure 3) also >precesses with the same period. This means that the position of the equinoxes is changing slowly with respect to the background stars.

Thus, Polaris will not always be the Pole Star or North Star. The Earth's rotation axis happens to be pointing almost exactly at Polaris now, but in 12,960 years the precession of the rotation axis will mean that the bright star Vega in the constellation Lyra will be approximately at the North Celestial Pole, while in 25,920 more years Polaris will once again be the Pole Star.

Just thought it was interesting...

There's more on this, and yes, astrological influence is littered throughout the Bible...primarily the Old Testament. Saying it's all astrology ignores the myriad stories within it, but there's certainly a lot more than most Christians are aware of.

Oh yeah, even the way the temple in the OT was set up. I must go and look it all up.

Any "debunk Christianity" attempt worth its salt lists a bunch of astrology references. Most that I've seen are in various films.

I actually usually don't use it as an argument though, because it requires such exact knowledge of scripture verses to make many of the points. It's far easier for me to remember other preceding mythologies that don't require such exacting memory.

Not all.

Now who knows what a unicorn is?
Let me tell you about.)

A long time ago when the earth was green
Well, there was more kinda animals than you've ever seen
And they just run around free while the world was being born
And loveliest of them all was the unicorn.

There was green alligators and long neck geese
Humpty bumpty camels and some chimpanzees
There was cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
The loveliest of all was the unicorn.

But the Lord seen some sinning and it caused him a pain
He said, stand back I'm gonna make it rain
So hey, brother Noah, I'll tell you what to do
Go and build me a floatin' zoo.

And you take 'em two alligators and a couple of geese
Two humpty bumpty camels and chimpanzees
Cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
Noah, don't forget my unicorn.

Now Noah, was there and he answered the callin'
And he finished up the ark as the rain started fallin'
Then he marched in the animals two by two
And sung out as they went through.

Hey Lord, I got your two alligators and a couple of geese
Two humpty bumpty camels and chimpanzees
Cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
Lord, I just don't see your unicorn.

Well, Noah looked out through the drivin' rain
But the unicorns were hidin' playing silly games
They were kickin' and a splashin' in the early morn
Oh, them foolish unicorns.

Then the ducks started duckin' and the sneaks started sneakin'
And the elephants started elephantin' and the boat started shakin'
The mice started sqeekin' and the lions started roarin'
And everyone's aboard but the unicorns.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh...weep

lol. sowy hunny. {u sound so much like the girl i like right now, its not even funny}. im sure jesus will bring back a couple of unicorns when he comes back. 😄

Seems all religions are based on it and then grew from it.........oh my the devil is upon us. 😱

A summary of the thread. Look above.

its is based on astrology. without a doubt

its all about the constellations and the 12 signs of the zodiac.

watch zeitgeist

in the old testament moses was angry that the people were worshipping a golden bullcalf...the bull represented 'taurus'.

moses represented aries the ram and that was the age he was usheing in (thats why the jews blow the rams horn)

jesus came next and represented pises the fish, the age we are still in to this day (he was a fisherman....pope wears a fishhead)

and the new age in 2150 will be aquarius

when asked when the next passover will be, jesus replied:

"Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him;

the man with the pitcher of water?..

aquarius, which is the new age in 2150

bible is based on, BULLSHIT.
no more or less than the torah and qur'an

Let me get this straight.

Because some Jews knew about astrology, that means that the Bible is based on astrology?

By the way, I can invalidate the entire article by quoting a single sentence:

"Judaism as a religion is vastly more lenient and egalitarian than Christianity."

Catastrophic failure present; abandon text.

Explain how this:

Does this:

It shows what, exactly, the writer knows. Which is "not much."
