THE MESSAGE IN THE MAZZAROTH
By Evan Wiggs
Ed. Note Seiss "Primeval Astrology" and Bullinger "The Witness in the Stars" are the main source for this study. Both have been criticized for their lack of documentation. In Seiss's supplement he mention's such sources at the List of Hipparchus and the Almagest of Ptolemy or the Celestial Chart of Royer published in 1679. He goes on to say "….these men were not giving the constellations as then to be seen and identified on the heavens, but as handed down in the most ancient astronomical traditions." I think many of the criticisms come from people who want nothing to do with a Creator who can organize the stars. I for one will not throw out this evidence until much more firm evidence of their wrong comes forth.
The Stars - are they a message to us?
Psa 19:1
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handiwork.
Isa 40:26 (KJV)

He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.

12 signs are the same in all ancient nations of the world; Chinese, Chaldean, Egyptian, etc. Zodiacs are in the Temples of Denderah and Esneh in Egypt. Why has Satan taken the Zodiac and corrupted it into Astrology? Was it once a sign of God's redemptive plan?

Rev. 19:17-18
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
