The zodiac constellation figures may symbolize the twelve key roles of Jesus Christ. The Book of Enoch records that the angel Uriel revealed the figures in the stars called the constellations to the prophet Enoch. There is much evidence to support that claim, such as many of the figures being the same symbols used throughout the scriptures to represent the Savior Jesus Christ and elements of his gospel. Several books have been written summarizing the concept that the gospel story appears to be shown in the stars. This article presents new evidence that in addition to that gospel presentation, the twelve figures in the group of constellations called the zodiac also summarize the twelve principal roles that Jesus Christ would fulfill. The Serpent Bearer crushes the Scorpion, and wrestles the Serpent who is trying to get the Crown. Before we look at these proposed roles of Jesus Christ, the reader is encouraged to write a quick list of his most common titles and then ponder exactly what each means. For example, what did Jesus do which qualified him to be called the Savior, or the Redeemer or the Messiah? Is there any difference between the roles of Savior and Deliverer? When I began the research for this article, my understanding was that those two titles were synonymous, but now it is clear from the zodiac figures that those roles are very different from each other. They will never be the same again to me. What is your understanding? Is it possible that you too could learn something about the Gospel of Jesus Christ from these ancient symbols? What were the most important tasks for the Savior to accomplish? 1. The Gospel in the Stars Let us begin by briefly summarizing previous work which claims that the gospel seems to be clearly shown in the star figures. The principal work was done by a nineteenth century woman named Frances Rolleston. Her original work has recently been republished,[1] but it is rather cumbersome because it is largely a set of research notes. Two Christian scholars summarized her work, added to it, and presented it in a much more palatable form about a century ago.[2] There are many flaws in the work,[3] but it appears that they got the basic idea correct. That is, the constellations testify of Christ and tell the gospel story in picture form. There is a surprising amount of information in the Bible supporting this hypothesis. It has been shown from strictly scientific arguments that the constellations, as transmitted to us by the ancient Greeks, originated about 2900 B.C. at a location of about 30

The most spectacular show i have ever seen, they were so proud and joyful that the Olympics had finally come to their nation. They put up a great show.Kudos to China and its people. And, they Bible publishing in China has grown due to the Olympics too.Due to the Athletes coming in and needing Bibles, created a influx of more bibles for the Chinese people:) Go China, would see that one day your missionaries will come to all shores.Other than that, i pray for safety for all.

Today, more than 3.8 billion people reside in Asia, making up 60 percent of the entire world

Nothing wrong with either.Just keep Christ in ur Celebrations!

Isnt it funny how the Devil re-uses his tactics over and over again .Since he could not get Jesus to sin, the Devil feels that well, make people think he wasnt God ad that He sinned after all.The Gospel of Judas,Mary Magdalene,Gnostic Texts,Da Vinci Code...Come on Devil....isnt it too cliche already?

Transparency in Finance is very important especially in the church.Every single expenditure of our church appears online and it has willingly let Government agencies check its records from time to time.It is quite puzzling to learn that the Pastor actually shunned her after she asked for the records.I believe she has every right to it.Since she has been a good steward and only wants to see how God's money is being used for the Kingdom of God.I am from Singapore and for the Pastors answer....i think he has something to hid....not sure....but they wld be no hesitation if he has done nothing wrong cheers...

The church throughout history had influenced politics.We are asked to pray for our governments in the Bible.Now that is lost, and now people say churched should not be involved.My feelings are different, use church to impact society.A survey taken in New York shows 70 percent of people interviewd said they have no problem with Jesus.Wow isnt it....but why are they not saved...Well...in the same survey &0 percent said they have a definite problem witht the church.They believe Jesus can realte to them better than the church.My Stand is....the church.....must go into politics, media, arts, entertainment and not only that...be the top of it....!I have mixed up several topics...but nevertheless ..the church is meant for greater things!

You guys would need to get me in singapore if thats the case...harhar http://www.myspace.com/extraordinaryman

My SIMPLe answer is...he created you and i to bless people around us with this luxeries

SEEK THE TRUTH the movie says. The thing is we all have different takes on this movie.Dont go around in arms condenming this book.You gotta know whatcha dealing with to rebut or retaliate.Through the davinci code,three friends have opened up immensely to the Gospel.When the devil closes doors, God open many others.We know there is evil out there,we cant hide in our nutshell or might even try to put our Children in a nutshell sheilding them from evil.We are going to be exposed to malicious substances against God from now till the end.By closing our eyes to this issue...we are actually helpng us and the people around us become fooled by the devil.....really..its practical...watch the world around u and how they believe lies...watch how they condescend to Christians who try to be holier than God by trying not to do anything.Watch how people feel that Christians are from another planet that can nvr be understood....... My suggestion read the book, but dont believe it, the same way you earn money but dont worship it.This way you know what you are dealing with Now, i know my reply will gets lotsa replies, but please let the replies be about the davinci code.Ask me about the different arguments so that you can talk to the friends that love the movie and believe its true....

I was saved in a missions church in Singapore.Wow,the people there are amazing!.Love just pours outs from all hearts.The Love of God and Christlikeness is seen thru them!....Thank You Lord for giving me a great opportunity to serve in your kingdom and this wonderful church! CHURCH HISTORY In 1989, the Spirit of the Lord moved mightily in the heart of Kong Hee, impressing him to enter into full-time Christian service. Kong had, by then, graduated with a Degree in Computer Science from the National University of Singapore and was working for a publishing house. However, having held several small, but successful, evangelistic campaigns in Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines, Kong wanted to become an itinerant evangelist and be a blessing to the churches in this part of the world. Sometime in April that year, he left the church he was attending since childhood and set out to become a staff evangelist with "Christ For Asia," a local missions organization. But God's ways are always higher than man's and sure enough, the Lord had other plans. After leaving his local congregation and embarking on a walk of faith in the mission field, a group of young people that Kong had previously ministered to surrounded him. They wanted him to be their shepherd, to pastor and lead them. With the support and encouragement of numerous senior pastors in the city, Kong decided to pioneer this new work, putting aside his dream of becoming a successful traveling preacher. To date, City Harvest Church has more than 20,000 people in its weekend services and is still growing rapidly. CHC has nine affiliate churches. Its SGD$48,000,000 titanium church complex in Jurong West was fully paid for and is utilised for some of its ministries. CHC has offices and centers in five locations and it also owns another plot of land at Jurong West Street 74. Kong is known throughout Singapore and Asia as a dynamic faith teacher, preaching an uncompromising prophetic message for this generation. He has a strong vision in his heart to train workers with a single purpose to see strong local churches planted everywhere in Asia. His television program "Harvest Times" is broadcasted many times weekly in 145 countries through 11 television networks.

well,my thoughts exactly!!

good one leonard...but do you think the other Arab nations would do nth...

My full name is Kunalan Velraj and i am a Singaporean that resides in Singapore.I have finally picked up the courage to post my full life testimony online.I believe that this testimony can touch peoples lifes.All Glory to God.Lets Begin. I started rebelling against my teachers parents and other elders(not Church) at the tender age of 10.I had no purpose whatsoever,i did not who or what i was living for.Therefore i got into research for Satanic Rituals and Practices.I clearly studied the black arts and how to project spirits out of the body.I have no idea why a person that was finding for a purpose landed in satanic stuff , but thats the way it went. Then Satan turned his game on.My grandfather suffered a heart attack and died suddenly about 6 years ago.My Dad suddenly passed away due to an acute liver failure while on a holiday to the Taj Mahal India 4 years ago.My Grandmother choked on her food to death 2 years.Financial problems abounded.Satan had launched his full nuclear attack on my family My family was in deep trouble.That was the time when Christian friends that my father and mother knew came forward and emptied their own bank accounts for our sake.They helped us through,counselled us and came to vist us whenever they had time.I was flabbergasted....my family did not owe this people any money or any favour.....but they willingly sacrifice their time and effort for the well being of my family.I was IMPACTED by their actions.My heart grew open to the gospel.My father's colleague's wife introdeced me to City Harvest Church Singapore.I was amazed when i saw thousands worshiping and crying before the Lord.His tangible presence was everywhere.I got saved that very first day.I met so many friends and people that did not care my background was but accepted me just as i am as Christ did unto them. Slowly all my vulgarites and bad habits died away.A new man was born.I strated actively studying God's Word and joined the usher ministry then switched to the Drama ministry.I was promoted by the church to lead my schools prayer meetings as the new Student In Charge in yr 2004 and 2005.My purpose has been found.The deep desire i had to find that purpose did not lead me to him...it was He who came to me. I then understood that each individuals had talents inbedded in them.I started looking for my own and found it.I realised i had an amazing power in speech.I remembered clearly i became the Best Speaker in my Primary school for a inter class debate session.What if thats my talent.I began to explore into it and joined the Secondary School Debate Challenge.With no training whatsoever,with pure effort and determination my team beat the Official School Debaters emerging the champions that yr(2005).And i got the Best Speaker Award for 2005.I realised i had an amazing potential in speech,leadership and drama as time passed. My life took a total turn for the best.Now i am currently pursuing my Architecture Diploma in Singapore Polytechnic.Indeed,i could have been a wasted life....but the Lord changed me.Thank You Lord.All the Glory to YOU!

We always forget from where satan had been Banished from. Satan was actually Lucifer who was a Archangel banished from heaven. Should he not know the bible like the back of his had. Basically he is an evil bible scholar. When Jesus was in the desert,Satan tempted him with Bible verses!(Like the common misinterpretations nowadays or using verses to suit their lifestyles) . But Jesus knew better.So ...watch out...for people will come with extensive knowledge of the gospel(Jehovah Witnesses,Universalists) but they are not of the Truth. Your Brother in Christ - AlanRaj

Man seems to possess an untiring preoccupation regarding the globe on which he resides. Some of this interest is beneficial to man, enhancing his lifestyle. However, some of the preoccupation is indicative of arrogance on man's part. Those who are obsessed with teaching that the earth, man, and every living thing on earth naturally began and through natural selection evolved are engaging in the zenith of gall (Gen. 1; 2). There is particular interest today relative to the age of the earth. Some geophysicists tell us the earth is 4.7 billions years old. Some theologians say the earth is only 6, 000 years old. Beloved, the simple answer regarding the age of the earth is, no man knows the exact age. The earth is 6,000 years old position. The date 4004 B.C. is found in the marginal notes (Genesis one) of many King James Versions. This date was first placed in the King James Version by James Ussher in 1701. He arrived at this date by adding the lengths of the lives of the patriarchs as given in Genesis 5 and 11. In reality, this dating method is not infallible for a number of possible reasons. As far as the Bible is concerned, we can not date the earth with accuracy. It must be remembered that Genesis presents the earth as being created mature or aged (Gen. 1: 20 ff.). The earth is 4.7 billions years old view. Scientists have employed a number of methods in trying to arrive at the age of the earth. The rate of erosion, rate of salt accumulation in the ocean, and the rate of decay of certain elements such as uranium, thorium, potassium, and rubidium. All of these methods including the "ore method," "meteorite method," and the dating of fossil remains are unreliable and contain many attendant variables. There are a growing number of scientists who are concluding the earth is actually relatively young. They have studied population growth, the amount of meteoric dust on the earth's surface, the quantity of nickel in the oceans, and carbon-14 build up. Many of these scientists believe the earth is more in the range of 7, 000 years old. Beloved, one thing we do know is life begets life and creation implies a Creator: "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth" (Gen. 1: 1). In all honesty, there are matters scientists and theologians do not definitively know as to the age of the earth. True science and the Bible, though, do not conflict.

The word dinosaur, as such, is not found in the Bible. We must remember that man has named many of the animals today. The word dinosaur is associated with the Greek "dino," meaning terrible. There are animals named in the Bible concerning which we have no definite knowledge or identity (see "greyhound," Prov. 30: 31, more later). Another thing to remember is that the Bible never attempts to provide all the names Adam assigned to different animals or to describe in detail the host of land and water creatures God created (Gen. 1; 2). Man's fascination with dinosaurs. There is an obvious fascination with dinosaurs in America today. Some of this "obsession" perhaps has to do with the relatively new evidence that has been discovered regarding what man calls dinosaurs. Some of the interest, no doubt, is because it is believed such fossil evidence disproves the Bible and, some how, authenticates organic evolution. Bible believers should not deny that large animals that are now extinct lived on the earth, call them dinosaurs, if you desire. I would not attempt to preclude even the possibility that there are many interesting animals extant that have not been discovered and classified by scientists. The mistakes of paleontologists. Paleontologists (those who study the fossil record) have not been without serious mistakes. For instance, one of the most famous dinosaurs, Brontosaurus (small head and huge body) that has been used to promote dinosaur interest never even existed. Brontosaurus' picture has been seen in just about every dinosaur book and museum for the last hundred years. The original discovery of Brontosaurus lacked the head. A skull located about four miles away was placed on the skeleton to make it complete. The skull actually belonged to Apatosaurus and the skeleton was a Diplodocus. Some scientists have made complete pictures of dinosaurs based on just a single bone or tooth. From such miniscule evidence, they have imagined great creatures, down to the color of their eyes and skin. Why did dinosaurs become extinct? Some have suggested a great meteorite colliding with the earth killed all the dinosaurs (latest "theory"). In fact, there have been many guesses. The evolutionary scientists, for the most part, will not even consider the possibility that the Genesis flood caused the extinction of such large animals called dinosaurs by man. The Genesis' flood was the greatest disaster known to the earth. One would expect to find billions of dead creatures buried by water in mud and sand (now hardened to rock). Beloved, that is exactly what scientists find around the world. Thousands of dinosaur bones are found where they were deposited and washed together by violent floodwaters and buried under mud, sand, and rock. Hence, the fossil record that we have today. The ideal elements for fossilization are quick burial, the right amount of water, and the suitable materials. Such a global flood as is described in Genesis six through nine would have produced such fossils and in the same manner. Also, such fossilization would have taken a short time, instead of the millions of years as indicated by the stratum (normal processes). Dinosaurs probably lived only a few centuries after the flood, but simply did not survive. The postdiluvian world is a very different world and such animals as dinosaurs were probably unable to adapt. Man also has typically played a major role in the extinction of a species. The Bible and dinosaurs. There are biblical references to unknown animals. For instance, a creature called "behemoth" is described in Job 40: 15-24. Behemoth (gigantic, Hebrew) is a massive animal. Some have attempted to say the elephant or hippopotamus is meant. However, the elephant and hippopotamus do not have a tail "like a cedar" (vs. 17). The book of Job is an ancient book, about 4000 years old. Behemoth could have been what scientists call Diplodocus, a huge plant-eater. Another apparently extinct animal is described in Job 41. It is called Leviathan (vs. 1). The description fits what scientists call Kronosaurus, one of the greatest animals to ever swim the seas. Leviathan was still around as late as the time of Psalms 104 (see vs. 26). Leviathan is said to have been in the oceans where the ships traveled (the alligator or crocodile does not satisfy the description of Leviathan). The fossil record is in harmony with the Bible, not Darwinian evolution. The suddenness of the destruction apparently by huge amounts of water, the often missing consistent layers of stratum, and the absence of transitional forms in the fossil evidence all support the Bible and present serious problems for evolutionists.

Wow....this is a good one.I have always felt America can do more for the unborn.This is a great milestone!

This is amzing.You should write a book!SERIOUS!

I love reality TV except Fear Factor,Temptation Island...

I got to disagree with this.Why,I am from Singapore and a megachurch.I have no idea what the American MegaChurches are up to.But here in Singapore.Theology is not shallow,nor is the church attracting people with hype.It takes a few bad apples to ruin the whole bunch. City Harvest Church
