Now that I have finished the last of the 12 signs of the Zodiac, what do they mean to us in our day? I will begin with the first sign, the sign of Virgo. God long ago promised the coming of the Messiah who would be born of a virgin out of the tribe of Judah. Jews had waited for generations for this to happen, and then when it dd, they missed it. Why? Because they were looking for a Messiah who would come according to their expectations and not God’s. They were looking for a mighty warrior type who would overthrow Rome and restore the kingdom to Judah again. They forgot what God said in Isaiah –

“For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, there is no beauty that we should desire Him. He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.” – Isa. 53:2-3

They were looking for a man born into royal houses and not in a manger. They were looking for someone arrayed in beautiful clothing and not swaddling clothes.

“Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.” _ Isa. 53:4-5

They were not looking for someone to pay for their sins, after all weren’t they the Righteous? They had no iniquities; they were the children of Abraham!

“All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, everyone, to his own way; And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment, and who will declare His generation? For He was cut off from the land of the living; For the transgressions of My people, He was stricken.” – Isa. 53:6-8

Even though they had faithfully celebrated the Passover for generations, they had added so many traditions to it that they forgot it was a prophecy of the Lamb to come, whose blood would protect them from death. They also forgot the prophecy of Daniel in which God gave him a 70-week Calander of Israel’s future in which He said –

“And after the sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself; And the people of the prince who is to come Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end of it shall be with a flood, and till the end of the war desolations are determined.” – Dan. 9:26

Thus, they missed the first coming of the Messiah and unless God does something supernatural, they might also miss His second coming. One thing God’s creation teaches us, as well as the Feast days of the Lord, is that God gives ample warning by signs and wonders of what He is about to do, that is what the signs of the Zodiac are, signs of warning about what God is about to do. They are like road curve signs before you get to a sharp curve alerting you.

The sign of Virgo is such a sign. It is warning about the birth and coming of Jesus, but not His first coming – it is warning that His second coming is near! It is also warning that the gathering of the Bride of Christ is near, because she will rule and reign with Jesus over His kingdom on earth. God emphasizes this sign by having all the visible planets line in a straight line under Virgo at this time as well. He also shows that Israel will be subservient to Him by having the Sun and the Moon under Virgo. Then God gives us another sign – the travel time of Jupiter to the horns of Taurus, the great bull of Judgement where it meets Mars on August 13, 2024, which is 7 years. These are the first time these things happened in 6-7000 years, but God is the creator and He set these things in motion from the beginning! It is a warning from God that these things are about to begin happening. Taurus also has a 7-star cluster known as the Pleiades, which translates to ‘congregation’. So, God is also warning His 7 Churches to get ready to join the Messiah as He getting to unleash His judgments on the wicked.

Now the devil knows this timetable and that is why we see him unleashing his wickedness on every level. His two greatest foes are Israel and the Church. He is flooding Israel with attacks from the enemy, and he is attacking the Church with deception to the weak and opposition to informed.

I have no idea what form the judgements God will release will take but, I have no doubt they are coming. Likely, they will first begin with a lazy church who is denying the power the Word of God says they have and is collaborating with the enemy, especially the pastors. I only pray that I can follow the Word of God and His Holy Spirit in these days, and you also!
