Bump!
Thank you so much for the article, dear OneVike!
The men taught by the instructions of the prophet Daniel knew exactly when and where he was to be born by studying the astronomy of the constellation Bethula (Virgo in pagan lingo).
The late professor D. James Kennedy had a theory on how his second coming was going to be foretold by the constellations Large Sheepfold, and Small Sheepfold (Big Dipper, Little Dipper) as they foretold Yeshua’s two “sheep folds” to which he was sent by the Father, rejoining as prophesied by Ezekiel in chapter 37.
Trippy, mon. Is there a place for the age of Aquarius in there somehow?
Kind of sounds like it, but Kennedy was definitely no ‘new-ager.’ He was a serious student of Hebrew/Biblical astronomy.
He had once published a dissertation called “The Real Meaning of the Zodiac” that explained the Biblical naming and purpose of the constellations.
One interesting thing is that the meaning of the names of all of the constellations is the same, regardless of what culture or language they hail from.
.
Color me heavily skeptical about the actual meaning of it all, although there was historical cross-pollination between mystical Jewish beliefs and Babylonian beliefs. Alfred Edersheim pointed out some ways this was so.
I still say you and your buds are into a cult. Not just a Jewish-flavored take on Christianity, but an actual cult.
All the “Babylonian” stuff had its foundation in the knowledge infused into their culture by Daniel who literally ran Babylon for over three generations.
Except for the pagan idolatry, most things intellectually “Babylonian” are derived from the knowledge base of the Aaronic priesthood. The same can be said for India. Ayurvedic medicine is mostly that of the Hebrew priests.
BTW, everything I am into is of the plain words of the Bible, without the sweet add-on words of men.
.
One more thing you might ponder:
There is absolutely nothing “Jewish” about Yehova’s revelations to Moses at Mt. Sinai; it is distinctly Hebrew, not Jewish.
The Jewish garbage was all born in the late second temple period, at the hands of the Pharisees.
Removing Phariseeism from the true faith delivered at Sinai was the essence of Yeshua’s ministry.

“Isaiah has always been to me like the book of Revelations”
Isn’t it Revelation?
Yes it is, but you could say the same about every OT book. Especially the books of the Prophets.
I meant it more in the way of the Book of Revelation of Jesus Christ.
