What
does the symbol of the ichthys have
to do with our age or time period? It’s
a good question and there is a link.
Let’s review these recent topics and why I am looking into them. If our father Abraham brought the knowledge
of Astronomy to Egypt, and he had come from Babylon, then there is something we
should look into regarding Abraham’s knowledge.
In Adamic times the knowledge of the stars were given to Adam, passed
down to all his children. But the
knowledge was kept alive in and moved through Seth’s line, further through
Shem’s line. The ancient stories are
reveled to us from the etymology of the star names. The pictures were later created to be able to
tell the story of the star names. As
time went on some distortions entered into the knowledge of the stars such as
astrology. We know that Daniel taught
the Magi the knowledge of the stars but when Babylon fell and people were not
bound to stay in Babylon, some Magi moved west to Israel, now creating two
different branches of Magi, the Eastern Magi and the Western Magi. The Eastern Magi kept true to the knowledge
while the Western Magi lost the original knowledge and created a superstitious
religion of fortune telling. This is why
when Jesus was born, the Eastern Magi came to worship Him, but the Western Magi
didn’t know anything about the King that was born. If the message of our redeemer is the story
written in the stars, then it is to our advantage to learn this story, as the
stars and bible teach us. The stars are
pure, and cannot be changed by men.
Therefore what the stars tell us should be taught so that we understand
what it is God wants us to know rather than the made up religious practices of
people. With that in mind we have looked
at the congregation, the assembly, the sheepfold and the mystery. To add to our knowledge of the sheepfold and
who we are in Christ, we are looking into the constellation of Pisces.
What
is an astronomical age? That is a good question. It is a time period where the sun resides in
a constellation during the equinox or the solstice. Also depending on your hemisphere, it will be
the opposite start to a season from the opposing hemisphere. At some point in
time people thought the start of the spring season was important and in turn
decided to count the astronomical age as important. Really there is no concrete evidence as to
the significance of the equinoxes but mystic ones, such as the time of leaving
the darkness of winter and entering into new life. Or the time for planting
(depending on where you live as planting where I live doesn’t happen until
almost summer solstice, which is like new birth or beginnings. In 45 BC Julius Caesar
set March 25th as the date for the vernal equinox, and due to
precession, Pope Gregory 13th adjusted that date. If we remember our previous blogs on
precession, we will understand that the rewind is what affects the ages. While the sun moves clockwise through the
constellations the ages move counter clockwise.
Today
we are in the age of Pisces. In the year 495 BC we were just breaching the perimeter
of Pisces from Aries. We will be in the age of Pisces from 495 BC through to
2600 AD. This tells us something very specific to our time, and while we are in
the age of Pisces a bit longer, this is the age of the redeemed being blessed
but still bound. That means while this
time period continues on we have people being redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. Whether in foresight, believing in the
Messiah to come, or in hindsight, believing in the Messiah that came. One fish position upward to the heavenly
calling, one to the earthly calling, both held together by the decan the band.
I
am more of a literalist than a figurative-ist, I find that taking the bible
literally teaches us more and that those who take the bible more figurative
don’t reach the depths of understanding. Also those who are figurative-ists
tend to waver on meanings and definitions in the bible and one figurative-ist
will accuse another figurative-ist of wrongly dividing the bible. Literalists get more literal as time goes on,
and figurative-ists change ideas with the times. I bring this up to point out that some like
to divide the ages equally into 2000 year time periods and then decide what age
we are in accordingly. This is a little
sketchy to me, a literalist. If the sun
is in a constellation on the vernal equinox, that is what we should be looking
at, not the made up time frame by men.
I’ve read the arguments for the figurative-ists, and I know by human
nature, everyone wants to be “special”.
We want to be the “special ones” who live in a “special” time but that
is simply not supported by the heavens.
It is simply the plan of satan to try to tell us we are in a different
age so that we will not fulfill the call of this age and sleep through it.
We
all remember the song from the 1960’s, but the Fifth Dimension must have been
looking ahead 700 years as the dawning of Aquarius can be found and determined
by any free or paid for astronomy program.
Astrologers still use out dated charts for their business, and no
astrologer is giving their readings away for free, yet they are all wrong. In other words don’t waste money on books
telling you that we are in the age of Aquarius, just download a free astronomy
program and look for yourself. The age
of Aquarius will occur long after our lifetime.
In 2600 AD the sun starts to breach the boundary of Aquarius on the
spring equinox, this is the dawning of Aquarius. No new dawning or enlightenment on December
21, 2012. The sun will move out of
Aquarius in the year 4300 AD. If we
remember the precession, the backward spin, and understand that each
constellation is different in length, we will make sense of the variations of
time. One age slightly longer, one
slightly shorter. The opposite side of
the wheel is the fall equinox, September 22, 2012, where the sun will be in
Virgo. This is the spring equinox in the
southern hemisphere.
At
the time of Adam the vernal equinox was in the constellation of Aries. At about 4,500 BC the sun moved out of Taurus
and into Aries, and by 4,100 BC clearly inside of the Aries boundary. If Adam was created around 4,000 BC then the
understanding would be that there had to be need of a sacrifice. If Lucifer fell prior to Adam on earth, and
the earth (not the heavens) had to be re-created, then we can see that God knew
and was intentional about the age man was created in, and the stars would tell man
to look ahead to a coming Messiah. He
also knew and was intentional about the mystery of the Jew and Gentile being of
one body and displayed that in Pisces.
Remember the mysteries were hid from before the foundation of the earth,
so even though Lucifer was important before his fall he could not change or
rearrange the heavens to say something different. Lucifer is the prince of the power of the air
by stealing stewardship from Adam, he has no power over the heavens (there is
no air to sustain life ,as on earth, in the heavens). While the magnificence of God shines from the
heavenly luminaries, it is simply his wisdom and knowledge that calls out to us
today for us to understand His plan.
Therefore if satan could trick you into believing we are in an age of
enlightenment instead of the church age, he can get people to forget the
mission of the times and search for new light among different man made
religions.
The
Mayans believed in the winter solstice as a point of demarcation, hence their
calendar end date/start date for a new age.
However astronomically during the winter solstice of 2012, we will still
be in the constellation of Sagittarius, with about 300 years to exit
Sagittarius and enter Ophiuchus. The
opposite side of the wheel is June 20, 2012, where the sun is in Taurus. Now this does not mean there isn’t anything
going on in the heavens on December 21, 2012.
There are some very interesting astronomical events on that date, but it
is just not a start or end to the age. So what does it mean that we are in the
age of Pisces? Why are people anxious to be in the age of Aquarius?
On
a historical mythological note, fish in and of themselves were not a popular
food source for Egypt. As the myth is
told their beloved King was chopped into pieces and thrown in the Nile, and the
fish ate his private parts, which was the only part of Osiris not recovered and
pieced back together. Therefore people
did not eat fish. It is similar to
today, aside from television and internet, where people are told something is
bad to eat and people change their eating habits. Other cultures did eat fish but a strong
dislike from Egypt shed a bad light on fish during the first century. These ages were important to previous
cultures, which we can now understand from hindsight the symbolism and why
certain sculptures and artwork exist.
If
there is something to understand about Pisces it is that Pisces represents the
church. Two fish bound together with a
band show us the redeemed, those who looked ahead to the coming Messiah, and
those who look behind to the Messiah’s coming.
The band that holds the fish together tells us we are one in
Christ. But the interesting thing is,
this band, which is the first decan of Pisces, is sometimes held by the Left
front leg of the Lamb, Aries. The Lamb
of sacrifice, Christ, holds the band of the fish. While pictures show us the band that attaches
to the fish is also connected to cetus the sea monster. If you look at this
picture we have the church bound to the sea monster, we are like a noose around
his neck and at the same time we are held back by the sea monster, yet the lamb
steps in, in between the fish and the sea monster. One thing we can pick up from this is that we
the church should be on the offense not the defense, the harder and faster we
swim the more choking the devil gets. Another
thing we can see is that we are stuck with the devil, he isn’t going anywhere,
so no matter what we do we are bound here with him. This age has made the church enemies of
evil. We the church hold back the enemy,
but once the band is cut, the devil has free reign. While specifically the Holy Spirit does the
holding back of the enemy, the Holy Spirit resides in us, the church. The church is the natural enemy of the devil,
and as such we should be on the offense with our personal walk.
Culturally
the body of Christ has always been enemies to manmade religions. The body of Christ has been and still is
persecuted. It is simply the way it is;
there is no “heaven on earth” for us.
Any illusion to life being wonderful after we become Christians is
another setup by the devil to discourage us from a Christian walk. This is one of the ploys of the devil,
instead of hard times for us, we are told Aquarius will be a joyous time for a
central religion. Sounds a little like the season of the beast and the false
prophet. The body of Christ may be
persecuted here on earth but we can overcome as we saw in the previous blogs on
the Seven Churches of Revelation. And when we do we will be rewarded.
Let’s
look at the star names from E W Bullinger’s Witness
of the Stars.
The ancient Egyptian name, as shown on the Denderah
Zodiac, is Pi-cot Orion, or Pisces Hori, which means the fishes of Him that
cometh.
The Hebrew name is Dagim, the Fishes, which is
closely connected with multitudes, as in Gen. xlviii. 26, where Jacob blesses
Joseph s sons, and says, " Let them grow into a multitude in the midst of
the earth." The margin says, " Let them grow as fishes do increase
" It refers to the fulfilment of Gen. i. 28, " Be fruitful and multiply."
The multitude of Abrahams seed is prominent in the pronouncement of the blessings,
where God compared his future posterity to the stars of the sky, and the sand
upon the sea shore. " A very great multitude of fish," as in Ezek.
xlvii. 9.
The Syriac name is Nuno, the fish, lengthened
out (as in posterity).
The sign, then, speaks of the multitudes who
should enjoy the blessings of the Redeemer s work.
And From Joseph A Seiss, The Gospel in the Stars
The names of this sign in Hebrew and Arabic, as in the Greek and Latin, mean the same as in English — the Fishes. In Syriac it is called Nuno, the Fish prolonged, the fish with the idea of posterity or successive generations. In Coptic its name is Pi-cot Orion, the Fish, congregation, or company of the coming Prince. Two prominent names in the sign are Okda, the United, and Al Samaca, the Upheld. And all the indications connected with Pisces tend to the conclusion that in these two great fishes we are to see and read precisely what was symbolized by Christ in the miracle to which the text refers ; namely, a pictorial representation of the Church.
And
again from The Gospel in the Stars
These Fishes are two in number. The general idea thus expressed is the idea of multitude, which is characteristic of all the sacred promises relating to the success of the Messianic work among men. The Church, in comparison with the great unsanctified world around it, is always a " little flock " — a special elect called out from among the great body of mankind outside of itself — just as the fishes enclosed in a net are but a small portion of the myriads that are in the sea. But, in itself considered, multitudinousness is always one of its characteristics. To Abraham it was figured as the stars of the sky and as the sand on the seashore for multitude. To Ezekiel the sacred waters embraced " a very great multitude of fish." Every symbolic casting of the net at Christ's command took a great multitude of fishes. The very name carries in it the idea of multitude, and the duplication of the symbol gives the still further idea of outspread multiplication — a glorious company of Apostles, a goodly fellowship of Prophets, a noble army of Martyrs, a holy Church throughout all the world.
But, beyond this, the Church, in historical fact and development, is twofold. There was a Church before Christ, and there is a Church since Christ; and whilst these two make up the one universal Church, they are still quite distinct in character. The patriarchal Church, which was more definitely organized under the institutes given by Moses, was one. It is a singular fact that the ancient rabbis always considered the people of Israel as denoted by this sign. The Sethites and Shemites, and all adherents to the true God and His promises and worship, were by both themselves and the heathen astronomically associated with these Fishes. They are certainly one set of the great Saviour's fishes. The Christian Church, organized under the institutes of Jesus Christ, was the other of these Fishes. Though in some sense the same old Church reformed, it was still in many respects quite another — so much so that it became apostasy to turn from it to "the beggarly elements" of the former dispensation. Here, then, are the two great branches or departments of the one great universal Church of the promised Seed of the woman. To the one His coming was future, and so it dealt in types, shadows, symbols, and figures of the true. To the other the ancient anticipations have passed into actual fact, and exist as living realities, already far on the way toward the final consummation. The faith of both is the same, and the spiritual life of both is the same. Hence both are mystic Fishes. But the stage of development, the historical place and condition, and the entire external economy, are different, as type and antitype are different, though in interior substance one and the same. The Fish in its multitudinousness symbolizes both. The old Church was the Fish arising out of the slain sacrifice believed in in advance, and signified in the old ordinances ; and the new Church, organized under Christ, is the Fish arising afresh out of the same, which has now become an accomplished and existing reality. Hence the whole thing- was fore-signified in the stars under the image of two Fishes, which are indeed two under one method of conception, and yet one and the same in another method of conception. It is the one Fish in both, yet two Fishes in historic presentation and external dispensation.
The
Hebrew word for fish is dagah, as E W Bullinger pointed out to us. Here is the usage of dagah fron Genesis and
Ezekiel. Speaking of multitudes of fish, increasing in population.
Gen
48:16 The Angel which redeemed [1350] me from all evil, bless the lads; and let
my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let
them grow into a multitude [1711] in the midst of the earth.KJV
Ezek
47:9-10 And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth,
whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very
great multitude of fish[1710], because these waters shall come thither: for
they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh.10
And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from En-gedi
even unto En-eglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish[1710]
shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding
many.KJV

From
the Old Testament we see Jacob blessing Joseph’s sons. He prophesies that they will grow into a
multitude, like spawning fish. After the day of Pentecost, the body of Christ
grew quickly. Ezekiel says multitudes of
fish of every kind, which sounds like Revelation saying they come from every
tribe tongue and nation. This is why
after the day of Pentecost the disciples were to move out into all nations
teaching and preaching. We need to look
at the redeemed in the New Testament, those who Christ redeems. In the book of Luke we see Zacharias
prophesies as well as the people on the road to Emaus wondering about redeeming
Israel.
Luke
1:67-75 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and
prophesied, saying,68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited
and redeemed [3084] his people,69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for
us in the house of his servant David;70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy
prophets, which have been since the world began:71 That we should be saved from
our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;72 To perform the mercy
promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;73 The oath which he
sware to our father Abraham,74 That he would grant unto us, that we being
delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,75 In
holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.KJV
Luke
24:19-24 And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning
Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and
all the people:20 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be
condemned to death, and have crucified him.21 But we trusted that it had been
he which should have redeemed [3085] Israel: and beside all this, to day is the
third day since these things were done.22 Yea, and certain women also of our
company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;23 And when they
found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of
angels, which said that he was alive.24 And certain of them which were with us
went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they
saw not.KJV

For
someone who was struck dumb and now speaks his first words, Zacharias has a lot
of important things to say. They were looking to the Messiah to come and now we
know John will be the one who prepares the way of the redeemer. These are the
people who were redeemed before Jesus came, those faithfully looking for him.
Then after Jesus’ death, we see the believers were questioning what was going
on as they believed Jesus was the one who would redeem Israel. If we look back at Ezekiel, we see many
different kinds of fish, not just one type.
The believers didn’t quite understand that others would be redeemed as
well as Israel. Remember Peter’s vision
of all kinds of animals, clean and unclean?
What the people understood was that the redemption would come to Israel,
but really it was to come to all people.
The interesting thing is that Pisces lumps us all together, there is no
Jew or Gentile any longer, we are one in Christ.
The
Lamb is worthy to open the book and the seals. And by redeeming us Jesus has
made people from every kindred, tongue, tribe, and nation to be kings and
priests unto God. Again all one, in
Christ.
Rev
5:8-10And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty
elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden
vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.9 And they sung a new
song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof:
for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed [59] us to God by thy blood out of every
kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;10 And hast made us unto our God
kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.KJV
NT:59
agorazo (ag-or-ad'-zo); from NT:58; properly, to go to market, i.e. (by

You
and I were bought with a price, we were ransomed by the blood of Jesus. That is why there is no longer separation
between Jew and Gentile. Blood covered
it all.
Gal
3:13-14 Christ hath redeemed [1805] us from the curse of the law, being made a
curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:14

that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.KJV

Jesus
said he would make us fishers of men, if the constellation name means the fishes of Him that cometh we then
understand that we are the fish, the multitude the progeny of Abraham.
Matt
4:18-20 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon
called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were
fishers.19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of
men.20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.KJV
Let’s
look at the band also from Witness of the
Stars.
THE BAND.
The Redeemed Bound, but binding their Enemy.
The band that unites these two fishes has always formed a separate constellation. It is shown in Plate XXI. The Arabian poems of ANTARAH frequently mention it as distinct from the Sign with which it is so closely connected. ANTARAH was an Arabian poet of the sixth century.
Its ancient Egyptian name was U-or, which means He cometh. Its Arabic name is A I Risha, the band, or bridle.
It speaks of the Coming One, not in His relation to Himself, or to His enemies, but in His relation to the Redeemed. It speaks of Him who says : " I drew them with cords of a man, With bands of love ; And I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws." (Hosea xi. 4, R.V.)
But it speaks also of His unloosing the bands with which they have been so long bound.
And
Again from The Gospel in the Stars
The Decans of this sign serve to bring out this idea with great clearness. The first Decan is a very long waving Ribbon or Band. The ancient name of it is Al Risha, the Band or bridle. It is one, continuous, unbroken piece, and so doubled that one of its ends goes out to the northern Fish, and is tightly bound around its tail ; whilst the other end goes out to the other Fish, and is fastened to it in the same way. By this Band these two Fishes are inseparably tied together, so that the one cannot get on without the other. And so the fact is. The patriarchal Church is really tied to the Christian Church. The Epistle to the Hebrews tells us that the ancient saints, from Adam onward, could not be made perfect without us (chap, n : 40). The consummation of all they hoped for was inevitably tied up with what was to be subsequently achieved by Christ, much of which is still a matter of promise and hope. And so the Christian Church is really tied to the; patriarchal Church. All the necessary preparations and foundations for Christianity were vouchsafed through the Old Testament. What was then testified, believed, and looked for we must needs also accept, believe, and take in. The Christian does not stand just ' where the ancient believer stood, but the old was the bridge by which the new was reached. Christ came not to destroy the law and the prophets, but to fulfil them, and to complete what they looked to and anticipated. There could be no Christian Church without the patriarchal going before it, just as there could be no patriarchal Church without the Christian coming after it to complete and fulfil what the old was meant to prepare for And here is the Band of connection unalterably binding them together in a unity which still is dual.
The
first decan of Pisces is the Band, it holds the fish together and connected to
the sea monster. It means He cometh.
Again we see this as a weapon of offense, choking or pulling, or holding back
cetus. How do we strangle the devil? When we are fishers of men as well as
telling others about the blood of Jesus.
Eph
1:7-14 In whom we have redemption [629] through his blood, the forgiveness of
sins, according to the riches of his grace;8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us
in all wisdom and prudence;9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will,
according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:10 That in the
dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things
in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:11 In
whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the
purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:12 That
we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.13 In whom
ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your
salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy
Spirit of promise,14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the
redemption [629] of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.KJV
NT:629
apolutrosis (ap-ol-oo'-tro-sis); from a compound of NT:575 and NT:3083; (the
act) ransom in full, i.e. (figuratively) riddance, or (specially) Christian
salvation:KJV - deliverance, redemption.(Biblesoft's New Exhaustive Strong's
Numbers and Concordance with Expanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary. Copyright ©

Jesus
tells us about the sheepfold, as we have previously looked at. Both fish the
ones looking forward to the Messiah and those looking backward to the Messiah
are gathered together into one fold, both drawn in by what Jesus accomplishes
on the cross. This is why Jesus came.
Pisces tells us the story of how the redeemed are joined and held
together and how it was because of the Lamb who was slain who brings them
together.
John
10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must
bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.KJV
John
17:21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that
they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.KJV
That
Jesus was and is the redeemer, there is no question to those who believe. But to those who haven’t been taught, the
questions remain. Job, the first one to
record his look ahead to the coming redeemer, says that he knows his redeemer
lives. We know Jesus wasn’t on earth
yet, but Job knew he was alive and ready to come. In the latter days Jesus will come again and
stand on the earth, to rule. This is the
faith and confidence Job had in what was written in the stars. How do I know that? Job lived before Moses,
and there was no written torah at that time. Job read the story of the redeemer
in the stars and believed it.
Job
19:25-27 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the
latter day upon the earth:26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body,
yet in my flesh shall I see God:27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes
shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.KJV
This
is the age we live in, the age of Pisces.
Many may think that Aquarius is better, because of new enlightenment,
but I would venture to say, as I have quoted men from the 1800’s, and studied
star charts from the 1600’s, I would say that we are re-learning things
forgotten. This is similar to new enlightenment in that we are learning the
very things Job knew. The things he believed so strongly in which were passed
down from the Sethites. This is a better
age by far as it is the time of redemption for all nations, tribes, and
tongues. It is the time to gather all
the fish into the nets, it’s about all people, not individual enlightenment for
self promotion. As Jesus pointed out
being a great leader means we are to be great servants that is the age we live
in. If we were in the age of
enlightenment we would see all kinds of people promoting themselves as gurus
for today. Yet none of the people that
do that now have the very simple knowledge that people had even 100 years ago.
Time to learn about the age we are at the time of the vernal equinox, for the
northern hemisphere it is Pisces, for the southern hemisphere it is Virgo. This is why the redeemed are hated among the
heathen, the heathens are in an age they have to continually reject the
redeemer in order to stay unsaved. That means they swim with the “fishes” but
are not transformed like the fish. It
must be hard swimming and holding one’s breath all the time, instead of being
