Friday, February 5, 2004 (10)SPEECH AND KNOWLEDGE FROM THE HEAVENS.
10. THE FIRST BOOK. THE BOOK OF THE REDEEMER. HIS FIRST COMING.VIRGO. The Virgin. In Hebrew – Bethulah, the maiden. In Arabic, Adarah, the pure virgin. In Greek – Parthenos, the maid of virgin pureness. The mother of the promised seed. The first sign. The beginning of the
message recorded in the heavens. Each sign occupies thirty degrees in the heavens. Thirty is the number of consecration. The priests were consecrated to their ministry at the age of thirty. Num. 4:3 Joseph was
commissioned of Pharaoh. Gen. 41:46 Jesus was thirty years of age when He began His ministry. Lk. 3:23 It is amazing that the starry heavens show forth the message of the Gospel prior to the coming of the Living Word
who was born of a Virgin. From the beginning the prophecy of the defeat of the powers of darkness by the seed of the woman had been declared. Gen.3:16
A SIGN FROM THE LORD. It is obvious, from the scriptures that the Lord gives evidence, signs of events that He sponsors as a warning or a signal. Isa. 7:14 In the sign Virgo, the Virgin is shown in a prostate position, thus indicating the fallen nature of man. All have sinned , all are concluded under sin. Gal. 3:22 The Virgin is shown holding a branch in one had and an ear of wheat in the other. This is indicated by a star named
SPICA, which is the brightest star in this constellation. It is a star of the first magnitude of brightness. The light of the Lord visited the earth in the birth of the Christ child, born of the Virgin. Luke 2:32 It has a blue and
white color. Colors which are fitting for a Virgin. White is the color of purity while blue is the color of the Holy Spirit. Mary was overshadowed by the Holy Spirit. Luke 1:35 It is a double star indicating a close companion, on
the color spectrum. Paul espoused the church to Christ as a chaste virgin. 1 Cor. 11:2 The Lord will have a perfect and glorious church. He has determined it and will accomplish His divine purpose. Eph. 5:25 The Lord
Jesus is that ear of wheat which was presented to the world by the Virgin and was to be planted in the earth and bring forth a bountiful harvest. John 12:24 The star which represents the branch is named Al-Zimach, in Hebrew it is Zemach, the branch, the root both of which are representative of Christ. He is the one promised to come and to be the rod, the root out of Jesse, the branch out of his roots. Isa. 11:1 In this manner the Lord
presented the Lord Jesus coming, the first time as a babe, with all the innocence and needs of a babe. Weak and humble. Jesse had lived and died in obscurity. David to whom the kingdom had been given was gone
and the throne removed from his descendants. Yet out of this dead and decayed stump came forth the Christ, the Son of God. He who was to build the kingdom and establish it forever. Many fail to see that the kingdom is
spiritual and not natural or worldly. The people of His day looked for a kingdom but it was not for that time. Acts 1:6-7
