Thanks for your kind post and affirmation.

It appears that I might differ with you on beliefs along this line . . .

St Paul said that all Believers ought to seek to prophecy. I don't believe at all that he merely meant to forth tell the Gospel.

I believe there's a lot of nonsense as well as evil counterfeit in the broad prophetic field.

I also believe there are authentic Christian prophets today as well as other Christians who have various degrees of various sorts of prophetic 'giftings.' I believe most are still flawed as humans and not having been through a Moses 40 years on the back side of the desert being fiery furnace cleansed to improve their hearing and speaking more accurately.

I believe God The Father will clean both the process of hearing and speaking up as well as the prophetic individuals in coming months and years as He is determined to have a pure CURRENT VOICE in the affairs of The Church and the world in these end times closings of history as we have known it.

imho.

I do not think we are so far apart, Quix. But it takes some talking to understand each other.

Please know that , in my opinion, there is no conflict between the proper study of astrology and the word of God, as found in the Bible.

There is mighty wrong in using God's language in profane ways. Using astrology in a "soothsaying" manner is just that, and the Bible is quite clear that we are not to engage in that kind of activity, as we do not know the mind of God, and cannot pretend that we do.

"There is a season for everything, a time for every occupation under heaven" Ecclesiates 3

Astrology, properly understood, is, I think, one way Man can understand that God has a divine plan and purpose for all things temporal.

To put today's transits into perspective in a Christian way, we could know ahead of time that this period would be a "time for tears... a time for mourning", BUT we could have no knowledge of the details of the event causing our sense of loss and grief.

Now, some will claim that they have this power to predict the future, but these are fools and liars.

To condemn the study of God's incredible handiwork in the heavens because some use it in sinful ways is, I think, understandable, but inhibits the acquisition of the wisdom God hopes we will develop.

"The wise man sees ahead, the fool walks in the dark"

The so-called "astrologers" of today make me think of Job's final answer to God.

"I know you are all-powerful:
what you conceive, you can perform.
I am the man who obscured your designs
with my empty-headed words.
I have been holding forth on matters I cannot understand,
on marvels beyond me and my knowledge.

Please go forth and tell those who are so silly as to ask your sign to please stop "holding forth on matters they cannot understand, and to stop obscuring God's design with their empty-headed words"...

Then, if they respond with an appropriate question, indicating that they are ready to hear, point them to the sacred nature of God's design, and how wrong it is to use it in such ridiculously simplistic ways, which the Bible condemns.
