John : 2: 14
In the temple, Jesus witnessed merchants bustling about, selling all kinds of animals for sacrifice. What a scene it must have been!
Jesus made it abundantly clear that this buying and selling was a misuse of the sacred space, and he was visibly upset by it. Normally, I would delve into that topic here, and I'm thrilled to discuss it further if you'd like. However, I want to spotlight this verse because the Lord spoke to me profoundly during this reading. In my notes, I mention these animals, and a seemingly incidental detail struck me—these animals are reminiscent of those described in the zodiac. Why is this significant? Lucifer, a fallen angel, was known as the morning star, which refers to the planet Venus in the zodiac. The signs connected to Venus are Libra and Taurus. How
fascinating is that? There are links to the stars, the zodiac, and the angels, even the fallen angels. This is why the Bible warns us about studying the stars because of the fallen angels hidden in them. The stars and the zodiac have both a side of light and of darkness, meaning that the angels had a particular star before their fall and after. The word makes mention of the fact that believers are like stars in the sky. This only means that we are 1. numbered like the stars in the sky, 2. we all were made in the same likeness, and we are set apart high above the rest of the worldly ways as Christians, who are made co-inheritors with Jesus himself. The Bible also says that the demons are also believers in God. They know the truth but they do not follow it. So I have an explanation about these animals and why God wanted these animals to become the sacrifice for atonement, but I thought this would be a fantastic conversation. I want to hear from you all before I give my answer here. What do you all think?
