STAR OF DAVID MINISTRIES 

MATTHEW 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory

I would like to state my position concerning the use of Astrology. According to the Word there is a True Astrology which has been used by men to see what Day and Hour that they were in. For God has placed this knowledge in the Stars for those that are Ordained to understand it. But a person must be led of God, and taught by God, in order to understand it. God has made all things, and so He placed every Star in the heavens in the exact place that He desired, for Signs, Seasons, Days, and Years. And this was to be understood from the viewpoint of this Earth, not some other planet. For the Cosmos and the placement of the billions of suns, stars, planets, moons, comets, ect... did not come about by chance, as some Astronomers would like to believe. And so the very placement and movement of this great Galaxy tells a Story in the Heavens that can be seen and understood only by those Ordained of God.

Gen 1:14 And God said, Let there be Lights in the Firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for Signs, and for Seasons, and for Days, and Years:
Matt 2:1-2 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came Wise Men from the East to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his Star in the east, and are come to worship him.
Matt 16:1-3 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a Sign from Heaven. He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not Discern the Signs of the Times?

It is without question that the Word of God, the Scriptures, is interpreted falsely by those that are not Ordained of God, to Understand the Word. Even though a person can Look at the Word, and see it with their Natural eyes, it takes Spiritual eyes to SEE and Understand that which is Written. And this can only come by the Revelation of the Holy Spirit Teaching that person. And so it is with those that Look into the Heavens. Some are taught by the Holy Spirit the Revelation of the Signs in the Heavens. Others take it upon themselves to interpret the Signs by there own wisdom and knowledge and give a False interpretation.

And then you have those that use Astrology in a Evil way. These people do not adhere to the Teachings of the Word of God, nor do they want to. Their interest in Astrology is so that they can somehow enrich there life, outside of God's provided way. For they try to use the Stars to forecast future events, to foretell things in a persons life. And they that sell this knowledge to those who will pay for this information are evil and wicked in the sight of God. Because instead of the people looking to God for leadership which comes by His Prophets, and enrichment in their life which comes from the Lord above, they turn to these wizards and witches, who for a fee, will attempt to give them this happiness. Therefore the people think that they can bypass God's Holy Word, and what He requires of them, and still gain this happiness that they seek.

But both the Soothsayer and the one that visits the Soothsayer shall Perish from off the earth. Along with those that practice the many other arts of Divination. This Nation, the USA, is Cursed of God because of the Witchcraft and Divination that is prevalent. At one time anyone that used such evil was killed, even as God commanded. But now it is accepted, and has become a part of America. Witches, Wizards, Enchanters, Charmers, Observers of Times, and many other Devil Possessed People are now on nation wide TV , 24 hours a day, selling their poison to millions. Because of these and the Fallen Church that has rejected the Word Jesus Christ, and is herself being led by a Witch, this Nation shall be utterly destroyed by the Mighty Hand of God. This Great City, Babylon, shall fall and never rise again. For it is Written. Amen

Deut 18:9-19 When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee. Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God. For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do. The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not. And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken. I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.

Mogen David, also MAGEN DAVID (Hebrew: Shield of David), a Jewish symbol composed of two overlaid equilateral triangles that form a six-pointed star, also called the star of David.

"Magen" as in "Magen David" is a technical term meaning the "position of the stars at a fixed point in time". Rabbi Joel C. Dobin

On 23 January 1997 a group of eight planets will form a variant of an unusual pattern -- a six-pointed star. Sometimes known as a Grand Sextile or Star of David, this pattern is an integration of various diverse energies into a harmonious whole. The points involved in the convergence include both luminaries (the Sun and the Moon), the planets (Uranus, Jupiter, Neptune, Pluto, Mars and Saturn), and the Ascendant (or Rising Sign). Together, they form a special planetary configuration.
This pattern comes on the exact day that three outer planets, Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune are conjoined together for the first time in almost two hundred years. Not since the Renaissance have all five outer-most planets been so harmoniously arrayed. On January 23rd, this cluster of planets will center on the first degrees of Aquarius, joined by the Sun, with the Full Moon opposite them all. Thus, perhaps this pattern may also be a symbolic representation of the long heralded dawning of the Age of Aquarius.

Looking at the inner circle of the chart, you should be able to easily detect the lines connecting the points involved which form a "Star of David" or "Yang Grand Sextile" configuration.

Jerusalem Star of David Synchronicity : The odds against this have to be on the order of a billion to one. An upright Star of David will perfect in Jerusalem at 7:35 p.m. EET = 17:35 GMT on January 23rd 1997 within less than ONE SECOND of the time at which the star pattern perfects in New York City.
 

Above is an upright Star of David (using the MC) Jerusalem at exactly 7:35 p.m. EET = 17:35 GMT on Januray 23rd. using 4 degrees 04 minutes Gemini at the Midheaven as the sixth point
Below is the Star of David using the Ascendant as the sixth point in New York at exactly 4 degrees 4 minutes Gemini at 12:35 p.m. EST in New York = 17:35 GMT.
 

There are actually two different time dependent points used in astrological charts. The first, most powerful, and most physically "real" is the Ascendant, or Eastern Horizon - the degree of the Zodiac rising at that moment. The second point is the Midheaven - the degree of the Zodiac directly overhead at any given moment. Thus, there are two different times on January 23rd, at each point on Earth, at which a star pattern will perfect. One using the Ascendant, around midday, and the second using the Midheaven in the early evening. Astrologically the first would be considered more powerful, but in this case the second time forms a more graphically powerful upright Star of David. For any given location when one pattern perfects there, the other pattern is simultaneously perfecting somewhere else on Earth. The exact distance between the two locations determines the time. Even a difference of a few thousand yards would change the time by a few seconds.

Below are some Scriptures that foretell different Signs that will take place. Most have to do with something happening to the Sun and Moon and Stars. Now whither these events are literal or symbolic, I can not say. If they are literal they would have to be placed in the right Time Frame of History. As we have had the Sun turned into darkness and the Moon into blood many times since these Scriptures were Written. But this interpretation also takes into account that these events will be of a Natural Stellar Occurrence. Now if these events are not a natural event, but the result of a Supernatural event, caused by the Power of God, they have not happened, at least as far as I know. But once again, this would only take Place in the appointed Day and Hour.

I said that they could be symbolic as each of these symbols, Sun, Moon, Stars, are used to represent other things. Example: (Sun) = The Son of God, The Light and Word of God, (Moon) = The Church, The Bride, (Stars) = Messengers of God, as well as fallen devils of Satan. So I personally lean to the thought that some of these Events spoken of here and in some other Scriptures, will take place Literally, and some are Symbolic of events that will take place.

Let me give you one example where it would appear that the Word is speaking of a natural event which would take place, but instead it is Symbolic of an event.

Luke 3:3-6 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins; As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth; And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

It would look as though there was going to be a lot of dirt being moved in this verse, for it says that “Every Valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low”. We know that this literally did not happen, but Symbolically it was fulfilled. Those Religious leaders who were exalted in their own minds were indeed brought low.

Joel 2:30-32 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
Joel 3:14-16 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision. The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining. The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
Luke 21:11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilence’s; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
Luke 21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
Matt 24:30 And then shall appear the Sign of the Son of man in Heaven: and then shall all the Tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
                                              

The events that follow I believe are indeed Signs from the Mighty God. What Scriptures they fulfill I can not with absolute certainty give you. I also took out most comments that these men had pertaining to these events as I did not agree with their interpretation. So I will let you the reader look to the Holy Spirit for the Revelation of these events yourself. But let me say this, I believe that we are at the Door of the coming “Day of the Lord”. Salvation is to go to the 144,000 Jews in Israel, and their shall be a Remnant among the Nations that shall believe the Everlasting Gospel. The Tribulation is about to start and it will happen Suddenly with Great Destruction from The Lord. So Prepare yourself Brethren by Seeking the Lord, Look to Him and see what He would have you do, and where He would have you go.

                       OTHER SIGNS IN THE HEAVENS

On the eve of Passover, Erev Pesach, this year, (1996) there was a total eclipse of the moon. The moon became as red as blood. This occurred a second time on the eve of Succoth, the Feast of Tabernacles. The last time such a double event occurred was in the year that Herod the Great died, says the messianic Jew Lance Lambert.

On 13. September 1996, which was the eve of Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, there occurred another unique astrological event: the constellation of Virgo had the moon under her feet and a ‘crown’ of twelve stars on her ‘head’. This is, according to Lambert, the first and only time in the history of the universe that this has occurred, and it reminds us of what it says in Revelation 12: ‘A great and wondrous sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth.’ John also saw another sign in the heavens, an enormous red dragon.

There is another constellation called Draco, the dragon. The Swedish intercessor Kjell Sjoberg, quoting the above, says “Astrology and horoscopes are a distortion of what God has spoken through the stars. The names of the stars in Virgo bear testimony to Jesus. Spica = the offspring, Vindemiatrix = the son to come, Subilon = the grain of wheat (which falls into the ground and dies), Zivijava = radiant glory (Isaiah 4:2). The prophetic revelation in heaven begins with the sign of Virgo, which is the first chapter in the Lamb’s book. The message communicated through the stars is that a virgin will bear a son who will be called the offspring of the Lord.” (Source: Lance Lambert, Kjell Sjoberg)
                                 

Significantly, there has already been ONE BLOOD-RED MOON AND ONE ‘SACK- CLOTH’ MOON (caused by lunar eclipses) over Jerusalem this year, falling precisely on major feast-days of the Jewish calendar. The first of them came on the evening of 3 April 1996, which was the beginning of the Feast of Passover. The second came on the evening of 26-27 September 1996, which was ‘Erev Hag HaSuccoth’ (the Eve of the Feast of Tabernacles). And there will also be two such eclipses in 1997, falling precisely on the feast-day of ‘Purim’ (23 March 1997 - a 90% eclipse) and also in the middle of the ‘Days of Teshuva (Repentance)’ on 16 September 1997. There will not be any further total lunar eclipses over Jerusalem until 21 January 2000. The chances of such a string of eclipses occurring over Jerusalem precisely on these significant dates surely has to be far more than coincidence.

It is also worth noting that if we take the Jewish month of Nisan as being the first month of the year, as the Jews were commanded in Exodus 12, then the first three of these eclipses all occur within the space of just ONE BIBLICAL YEAR. (April 1996 to March 1997).

But what causes some eclipses to turn the moon blood-red? Well, the answer is as follows: A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon is full, and the earth passes between the moon and the sun, thus blocking the sun’s light and casting a shadow on the moon for a time. However, often during a total lunar eclipse, the moon is not completely dark, but is faintly illuminated with a red light refracted by the earth’s atmosphere which filters out the blue rays. Occasionally a lunar eclipse occurs when the earth is covered with a heavy layer of cloud, which prevents light refraction, making the surface of the moon completely dark (like sack-cloth). However, the first lunar eclipse this year certainly turned the moon blood-red. As one Jerusalem resident commented of the Passover eclipse: “Did you see that beautiful 3-D Red Moon? It was awesome; The most beautiful sight I’ve ever seen in the sky...” The words of the prophet Joel regarding blood-red moons are somewhat more ominous however: “And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, AND THE MOON INTO BLOOD, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come” (Joel 2:30-31).

It is also interesting to note what the Jewish Talmud (book of tradition) has to say about blood-red moons: “When the moon is in eclipse, it is a bad omen for Israel... If it’s face is as red as blood, [it is a sign that] the sword is coming to the world...” Interestingly enough, on the very day of the ‘Erev Hag HaSuccoth’ Sack-cloth moon this year (26 September 1996), renewed violence broke out between the Palestinians and the Israelis (due to the opening of a tourist tunnel near the Dome on the Rock). It seems very clear that the signs mentioned above are obviously designed by God to point us to the significance of the JEWISH FEAST-DAYS AND FESTIVALS at this time. And indeed, the significance of these Feasts for the Last Days is well worth looking into.

The three most important Feasts that God instituted for the Jewish people were, of course, Passover, Pentecost and the Feast of Tabernacles. Significantly, Jesus the Messiah was killed exactly on the Passover nearly 2000 years ago, with the details of His death corresponding precisely to symbolic Passover rituals (the slaying of the sacrificial lamb, etc.). And fifty days later, precisely on the Day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit was outpoured upon His disciples for the first time, thus beginning the Christian Church. Many Christians today believe that the last great move of God before the end - the last great ‘harvest’ - will somehow be tied directly to the coming of the third one - the Feast of Tabernacles (which is a festival celebrating the ‘first fruits’ of harvest). It was actually during the Feast of Tabernacles that Solomon dedicated the Temple, and while the musicians ‘lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the LORD’, suddenly the cloud of God’s glory filled the Temple (2 Chron 5:3-14... Might it not be the same in our day also?) [quote]

The main stream Christians are indeed looking for a Revival or last great harvest. Of course they expect it to come through their Denomination or at the least being that the Ecumenical Move has brought these Apostate Churches together that it will be a move within that movement. But as I have already pointed out in other teachings the Last Great Move or Harvest has ALREADY come to pass. It's in the Past, not in the future, and it's not happening now. As a matter of interest in following these feast days; the Indonesia Revival began on the Feast of Trumpets. September 26, 1965 in East Timor,Indonesia. This also is the Next Feast following the Feast of First Fruits (Pentecost). Also one may consider that the Feast of Tabernacles (which is a feast celebrating the 'first fruits' of harvest) follows the Day of Atonement which is next in line of Feasts to be Fulfilled if keeping with this type of Concept.  So the Day of Atonement is of course referring to the 144,000 Israelites receiving their Salvation. And the Feast of Tabernacles which follows is referring to those 144,000 as they are indeed the First Fruits unto God and to the Lamb.  So what feast should we be looking for to be Fulfilled Next? The Day of Atonement for those 144000 Israelites. It's latter than you think! [My Comment]

REVELATION 14:4,5; These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whither-soever He goeth. These were redeemed from among men being the "Firstfruits" unto God and to the Lamb. And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.

In July 1995, the comet Hale-Bopp was discovered by two amateur astronomers from America. What fascinated astronomers at the time was that while it was still far beyond the orbit of Jupiter, the comet could actually be seen with small telescopes. Leading astronomers admitted to being astonished at the discovery. “It is unheard of for a comet to be visible by small telescopes while so far away,” said Dr Brian Marsden of Harvard University, an expert on comets. “It could become the comet of the millennium as it comes in towards the sun over the next year or two.” This giant comet is now estimated to be about as large as a mountain (between 25 and 100 miles across), making it probably the biggest comet ever discovered. The last time it visited the inner solar system was about 4000 years ago. And amazingly, the day that it will make it’s closest pass to earth is 23 March 1997 - the very Feast Day (‘Purim’) when there is to be another blood-red (or sack-cloth) moon over Jerusalem. (More on the meaning of this particular Feast in a moment). In fact, the comet will be easily visible on the very night that the eclipse itself occurs. It is interesting to note that when it was first discovered, this comet was located right inside the drawn “bow” of the archer in Sagittarius.

Those Christians who are familiar with the ‘Divine witness of the stars’ will be aware that Sagittarius is known to signify the Redeemer’s triumph. The figure is that of a mighty warrior with a bow and arrow, riding forth majestically. Most importantly, the barbed arrow in his bow is aimed at the heart of the Scorpion. According to the traditions of the Jewish Talmud, it is especially alarming to have a comet pass through the constellation of Orion (which is exactly what Hale-Bopp is doing): “There is a tradition that it never passes through the constellation of Orion, for if it did, the world would be destroyed...” However, the Jewish Feast of ‘Purim’, which is clearly being drawn to our attention in the most obvious way by the above signs, actually celebrates a very significant DELIVERANCE in the history of Israel.

If you read the book of Esther, you will see that this was the day that the king’s right-hand man Haman had purposed for the exiled Jews to all be put to death. The holiday is called Purim after the selection process which Haman used to select the date of the Jews destruction: a lottery (or a “Pur”), using astronomical forecasting . This method was supposed to result in the date that the Jews were most vulnerable to attack. In fact, this was astronomically true - the Jews WERE most vulnerable on the 13th of Adar. One of the miracles of Purim was that Esther - godly Bride of the king - was given the ability to totally reverse the astronomical implications of the day so that the Jews would instead be victorious. Because of this miracle which came about through the lottery - the “Pur,” the holiday is called Purim. Interesting that God is so clearly pointing to this particular Feast-day at this time, isn’t it? [quote]

Another significant ‘sign in the heavens’ that is occurring at present very possibly equates with the ‘Woman crowned with twelve stars’ found in Revelation 12: “And a great portent appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and on her head a crown of twelve stars; she was with child and she cried out in her pangs of birth, in anguish for delivery... And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to bear a child, that he might devour her child when she brought it forth; she brought forth a male child, one who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was caught up to God and to His throne, and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which to be nourished for 1260 days” (Rev 12:1-5).

Over the next four years (1996 to 1999), precisely at the time of the Feast of Trumpets in Israel (Tishrei 1), there will be a sign in the heavens that has never occurred before and will never occur again. The new moon will be ‘born’ in the constellation of Bethulah (the Virgin) on this date during each of these four years, and will then move directly to the feet of the Virgin within 24 hours. The Sun is just below the horizon, so that Bethulah is ‘clothed’ with the Sun. Positioned over the Virgin’s head is the constellation known as “Bernice’s Hair”,- this is the crown of twelve stars! And higher, above her legs, we find Draco, the Dragon, poised to devour her child when it is born. Greg Killian believes that the three-year period of this sign may represent the “birth pangs” of the woman.

In 1996 and also in 1999, this sign occurs on the Sabbath. His thought is that these birth pangs may begin in 1996, with the actual birth taking place in 1999? Please remember that this particular positioning of the constellation Bethulah (the Virgin) - about to give ‘birth’ to Lavanah (the moon), has never occurred before, and will never occur again, due to the procession of the equinoxes. The new moon is a very significant factor to all those who follow the Jewish Talmudic tradition, and is the basis of the whole Jewish calendar system. (It is believed to be symbolic of the Messiah).

There are a number of other interesting factors which also point to these years (particularly 1996 and 1997) as being important ones in God’s End-time calendar. As is well-known by many Christians, 1996 has seen the celebration of exactly 3000 years since the founding of Jerusalem as David’s capital for Israel. Many also believe that 1996 brings up exactly 2000 years since the birth of Christ (most likely on the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles), though some believe that the correct year is actually 1997.

The idea that God has a specific timetable that He is working through, with certain ‘signs’ indicating important seasons of spiritual activity, should not be foreign to those who study the Bible. Many prophecies (notably those of Daniel and Revelation) have times, years and dates specified in great detail, and it is obvious that God is ordering events and spiritual seasons on the earth to coincide precisely with His long term plan. And this applies even more to the ‘Last Days’, which is the period that we have now very much entered into. There is an interesting pattern of significant dates involving Israel over this past century or so, which it would be good for us to look at with this in mind.

The following is a very significant set of dates that have been crucial to the successful formation and survival of modern Israel: (a) 1897. The first Zionist Conference in Europe, led by Theodore Hertzl. (Two-thirds of the delegates were Messianic Jews). Crucial to the eventual formation of Israel. TWENTY YEARS LATER: (b) 1917. The British Generals Gordon and Allenby (a Christian) and their armies take Jerusalem without firing a shot. When camped outside, after praying about the situation and getting a Scripture about a “flock of birds”, they decided to send biplanes over the city and drop clay tablets bearing the words: “Leave the city now, signed Allenby.” The Turks thought the word ‘Allenby’ resembled ‘Allah’, and they fled the city, surrendering Jerusalem entirely without a fight! THIRTY YEARS LATER: © 1947 (- November). The United Nations officially declares Israel to be a recognized state. (It took the Israelis another nine months to defeat the Arabs who were occupying the land). TWENTY YEARS LATER: (d) 1967. The Six-day War. Against all odds, the vastly outnumbered Israelis are completely victorious, and now occupy the whole of Jerusalem, Gaza, the West Bank and the Sinai, etc. THIRTY YEARS LATER: (e) 1997. Blood-red moons over Jerusalem.

Jewish Prime Minister Rabin (who had really been buying peace by giving away Israeli land to the Arabs) was killed at a peace rally in ‘Kings of Israel Square’ in Jerusalem in late 1995, and was replaced by Mr Peres, whose name is literally part of the “writing on the wall” where it says: ‘Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and the Persians’ (Dan 5:28). The very man who was continuing Rabin’s policy of giving away Israeli land had a name that Biblically carried the sense of a kingdom being taken away and divided! Mr Peres has now been replaced as leader by Benjamin Netanyahu, whose first name means ‘Son of the right hand’ and whose last name means ‘Beloved of God’. [quote]
