The Gospel In The Stars

Q

In your latest post I noted this statement: “But the people disobeyed God’s commandment to go forth and replenish the Earth, setting about instead to build a great city and a tower to protect themselves from another flood. They also used the tower to study astrology, a corruption of the Gospel that God had written in the stars using the names of 12 constellations.” I’ve never heard of a Gospel in the stars. What does that mean?

Psalm 19:1-4 says,

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge.  There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.

The Hebrew Mazzaroth is the original version of the so-called signs of the zodiac that were perverted into astrology.  According to tradition, it was based on 12 constellations named by Adam, Seth, and Enoch long before the flood to teach early man the story of the Coming Redeemer.  The Sphinx in Egypt is a monument to the Mazzaroth.  You can get a book titled “The Gospel In The Stars” by J. A. Seiss if you want to do a more complete study.
