“The truth is that almost every ancient civilization stressed the importance of the zodiac,” Marshall writes on zodiactruth.com. “But why? Is it just some ancient religion? The answer might surprise you! Are you ready for this? God drew the zodiac.
“God drew the lines in the night sky which connected just the right stars to form just the right pictures which, when taken all together, form just the right story of His incredible grace and mercy, and His amazing plan to save mankind from the curse of sin.”
While the Bible itself condemns astrology, Biltz says there’s a big difference between astronomy, the study of objects and matter outside the earth’s atmosphere, and astrology, the divination of the supposed influences of the stars and planets on human affairs and terrestrial events by their positions. He claims the astronomical truth of God has been twisted into astrological confusion by Satan the devil himself.
“I am totally against astrology,” says Biltz. “Astrology is evil. I want nothing to do with that, but the devil perverts everything God has. That’s what he does. There’s nothing wrong with biblical astronomy. The big difference is, astrology says, ‘It’s all about you.’ Believe me, you’re very sweet, but it’s not about you. It’s all about God, and when we have the proper perspective that it’s not about us, it’s all about Him and to glorify Him then we’ll have a proper understanding.”
Anyone who would like to read a really good book on this topic should check out E.W. Bullinger’s “The Witness of the Stars.”
Several years back, I saw a guy do a presentation at Texas A&M on the “biblical astronomy” of Christmas and Easter. It was actually pretty fascinating.

Amos 5:8 - Seek him that maketh the seven stars (the big dipper) 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:
This is exactly the sort of thing that Muslims use to further their religion, and to deride all others as false.
Sorcery and astrology are death-penalty offenses in Islam, as they consider them to be superstitious attempts to “predict” their Allah’s will with human minds.
The guy in Saudi Arabia who’s going to be beheaded soon, committed this “crime”.

Mark 13:32 “No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

Daniels Timeline. This guy, Dewey Bruton, lays out the star pattern described in this article and comes to nearly the same conclusion. There are 12 videos and he is very meticulus in expaining everything and appeals to your logic.
