Yes, and it also says these angels were holding the four winds of the earth, which is conclusive proof, from an astrologic standpoint, that John spoke of the Cardinal Angels - North, South. East and West as corners, and every angle is a corner. A circle is made up of angles. The ancients were quite scientific in the use of their language, more so than we are today. At one time the language was the same all over the earth, and that is when astronomy and astrology were best understood. The earth inhabitants were one happy family, and earth and the rest of the "host of heaven" moved harmoniously. Since then language has become confused. Troubles are due to misunderstandings, and the "host of heaven"keeps a perfect record of every infinitesimal thing under the chronological guardianship of Saturn (Chronas.) the "father of time."
That refers to entry of the Sun into the sign Aries; the pioneering lamb of all cycles that has been slain, and slaughtered and crucified again and again since the world began, for all cycles begin with Aries, the lamb, and each spring the world has a yearly reminder of the great awakening at the beginning of a new cycle.
We are. The things of the present age are fast passing away. A new condition of earth is gradually shaping itself, and future generations will speak of our age. (since the beginning of the Christian era) as the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel.
Why, not a bit of it Christianity has not yet been tried. We have had no Christianity. It has been hidden from the world mind. It has all the while been burried in the tomb of Joseph, waiting for the world mind, to get through with its methods of persecutions for the sake of Mammon, and become prepared to receive the truth which it has so falsified or denied.
We may catch a glimpse of it, or behold the "writings upon the wall" but there will be great trials and tribulations before the beginning of the new cycle. Only those who learn to achieve victory over death will hear the joyous bells of the new awakening.
Certainly. Astrology tells all things. How else could it have been known, by either ancients or moderns? Did not Jesus of Nazareth say: "Seek and ye shall find."Of course, to find out such things as mentioned, we should not be expected to look down a gold mine nor any where around Wall street nor in a repository for automobiles; nor yet in the colleges where minds are prepared like a chain gang to follow in the footsteps of their illustrious predecessors; nor yet in the astronomical observatories, where the men of means and wonder-ous eyesight are so busily engaged chasing new stars. Quadrillions of miles from earth; or. endeavoring to learn whether the contract is closed for the completion of the canals on Mars; these great men of the world are too busy with gold, stocks, inventions, footballs, and commercial navigation to bother their heads over the usefulness to earth, of any new star that God, or some other force, puts into the heavens among so many already there. The ancient wise men of the Bast were a little more particular and more quizzical, and they thereby obtained immortal renown.
