Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth* in his season?
or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons? Job 38:32 (KJV)
The Zodiac information in this web site is based on "Mazzaroth: the Constellations" by Frances Rolleston; 1862.
In the
Preface,
pages 1 & 2, Ms. Rolleston writes:
Most persons have been taught the names and
figures of the signs of the zodiac. Many have been repelled by the
explanations usually given of these ...
Instead, explore the heavens against the backdrop
of the only true wisdom given to man (Scripture). The agreement of the
figures will be shown, with the types used by the "holy prophets who
have been since the world began," in their predictions of Him, first
promised to Adam as the
seed of the woman
and the conqueror of the
serpent; ...
The names and ideas conveyed by the figures
(constellations) are traced in the mythology of the nations; ... from
the confused and incongruous use these made of them; [it can be shown]
that the fables were invented from the constellations, and not the
constellations from the fables.
It is therefore evident that the distinction of
the starry heavens into constellations, like the division of the earth
into districts, is the work of man's imagination for his own purposes.
In this case the purpose was to declare the Glory of God.
*The word "Mazzaroth" appears in the KJV of the Bible. It is a noun
applied to separate chambers
or divisions,
such as the constellations. Mazaloth, a
similar word, means a way through which any
thing goes, as the sun
through the zodiac ...
