Hi all,

I'm wondering if anyone can shed some light on this question I have regarding Job 38:31-32.

I am aware of what the Mazzaroth is, but I am curious what the Hebrew version says in regards to what it says about "Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion."

The names Pleiades and Orion are Greek names for constellations correct? I find it odd Job would quote God using Greek names as the book of Job was written before the Greeks gave these constellations their names wasn't it?

Just curious what the original text describes this as.

Many thanks

English is a relatively new language that commonly appropriates terms from other languages. That means terms (such as "Orion") are English (even though the etymological origin is undeniably Greek). That is, the word "Orion" is technically also an English word - since it is the word used in English communication to describe this particular constellation. Therefore, if you are reading an English translation of the Bible, you find the English word (even though historically, the word's origin is Greek).

As with the rest of the English Old Testament, the Hebrew terms have been translated into their 'English' equivalents.

There is a huge difference between worshiping the heavenly bodies (planets & stars, astrology) and the study and admiration of Gods creation as say astronomy.

Stars are also used for navigation.

According to my Net research, right now, the Hebrew scripture word for Pleiades is pronounced kee-MAW. So, this could have been arrived at independently of the Greeks' later observing and naming of Pleiades. 

And the Hebrew pronunciation of their word for Orion is kes-EEL. It was there for them to see, and to name, before the Greeks came along.

And the Hebrews' and Job's use of constellations would likely have been for navigation, or at least for realizing how God had arranged the stars, even, with a poetic touch. And because "God is love," (in 1 John 4:8&16), He has things poetic with His love purposes. The stars have organization so they can help to navigate. And I have seen how God even has people named and streets named in a way which rhymes with other people's and streets' names, showing how He is the Master of all people and things, for loving.

And there can be a message, even. Orion might remind us of putting on the whole armor of God. Pleides, if it is a cluster, might mean how we can have more in sharing with one another. And, yes, it is called The Seven Sisters . . . perhaps sharing as family like we do in Jesus. And they shine blue light. I take blue to be symbolic of Heaven, and seven is our perfect number, right?

So there can be poetry with love meaning, done by God, not only poetry of words.

One street in my lady friend's town has her name. And across from her named street is another street with "el" in it > and "El" is a name for God. So, this symbolizes how in Jesus she has God in her, now. 

And across from where she lives we have a street named after a woman I used to be crazy about > it ends at a swamp! Its habitations are maybe charming but isolated, with only one person or family in each one, or more or less so. But my lady friend is across from that road, in a residential area where ones have connected apartments and can share with one another readily.

So, God has poetry of the stars and of people and their names, with His love meaning.

I am not being irreverent when I say the Bible was ahead of its time. It is a love story written to man by an omniscient God. Not to offend flat-earth theorists, but for an extended period of history, people and sailors thought that if they went far enough, they would drop off the face of the Earth, that the sun rotated around the Earth, etc.

Discovering the shape of the Earth is as simple as placing a stick in the ground, marking the top of the shadow, and repeating the process every hour for a half circle.

According to secular “best guesses,” human knowledge has doubled every century or so. According to the Bible, there will come a time when:

Daniel 12:4 (KJV) But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

The Industrial Revolution sparked and was the beginning of what Daniel envisioned. No one would understand Daniel’s vision until it arrived.

The Bible is not a science or physics book. Yet, it contains science and physics, much of it only coming to light in the last few centuries, some recently, as with the discovery of deep-sea springs by technology-deep-sea immersible. The Book of Job and others have science written into them:

Ecclesiastes 1:7 [rains, mountains; and evaporation]

Isaiah 55:10 [hydro cycle and recycling]

Psalm 135:7 [evaporation to the atmosphere]

Jeremiah 51:16 [thunderstorms and rain]

Jeremiah 10:13 [thunderstorms; rain and evaporation]

Job 36:26-28 [precipitation]

Psalm 33:7 [ocean reservoirs and life cycle]

Job 38:22 [treasures of snow and hail]

Psalm 147:16 [snow and frost]

Job 28:24-26, Job 38:16 [hydrology balance and sea springs]

Job 26:10; Job 38:12-14; Psalm 103:12; Isaiah 40:22 [Geology and the shape of the Earth]

Job 26:7; Job 38:6 [magnetic and gravitational forces]

Job 14:18 [sand, erosion of rock for nutrients]

Job 38:29-30 [ice age, glaciers, stages of water]

Job 40; Job 41 [dinosaurs]

Genesis 1:26; Genesis 11:6 [the complex human mind]

Genesis 1:11; Genesis 1:24-27; Job 30:3-8 [chemical nature of flesh; no cave men but the degeneration of man]

Colossians 1:17; Psalm 19:6; Job 38:34-35 [physics, electrical transmission and radio]

Revelation 11:9-11 [television, smart phones, satellites]

Nahum 2:3-4; Daniel 12:4; Isaiah 31:4-5 [automobiles, airplanes, technology]

Genesis 10:25 [continents, land masses, islands]

1 Timothy 4:8 [physical exercise]

Exodus 20:11 [who made the heavens, Earth, seas, and all that is] 

From my previous post, the question remains: How and where do we fit in the many global precision megalithic structures, undersea mega cities, the Antikythera mechanism, and the accurate 500-year-old geographical map of an ice and snow-free Antarctica?

Sounds like King James version. I think they are orbiting plates. But the main point is God created everything and sustains everything by His power but also His grace.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
