- What will the normal guy understand the scripture to mean
- Wicked imagination leads people down the errored path
- Biblical Studies
- Hebrew Language
- Hebrew is very action oriented
- Take a look at the Verbs first and then the Nouns
- We have to look at what is being done first
- And, then look at what that is applied to
- What is being governed
- What are stars for
- Stars given to navigate ocean
- Liturgical calendar
- Feast
- Yon Kippur
- Day of atonement
- Accuracy
- Can be calculated forward
- And, backward
- God saw the the fall
- And, before creating man
- He created the calendar first
- Use of calendar is a biblical no-no
- Those who practice astrology as a way to align God’s calendar are on fool’s errand
- God never used Stars to indicate prophetic timeline
- Magi
- Mixed up babylon and jewish religion
- Daniel 2:1-2
- In the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams; his spirit was troubled, and his sleep left him.
- Then the king commanded that the magicians, the enchanters, the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans be summoned to tell the king his dreams.
- Godly jews left behind after Babylon
- Pagan Worship
- Bethlehem Star
- Is it an astronomical body?
- Or something else
- Prophet?
- Why would a prophet who has a “Thus saith the Lord” need to use astronomical signs
- God’s Light
- God was so mad at Herod and he did not want to have to say anything to him
- And, he so his presence left the madi
- Once the madi got back to their way the star’s returned
- Revelations
- Apocalyptic Literature
- God takes a complex subject and makes it accessible to Mac users like you and me
- Instead of giving you complex instructions, he gives you symbolic data
- Why No details
- Promised
- God has never promised he will give full details
- Hostile Jamming
- God is not bounded to detail
- And, thus his hope can not be forfeited
- He anticipates Hostile Jamming and so he encodes it
