In Daniel there are several mentions of "Astrologers", but all are in connection
with the same issue, the interpretation of a dream of the King. Yet we know that Astrology does not claim to be about the
interpretation of dreams, it's the interpretation of the Stars God created. The "wise men" consulted by the King
would also be expected to interpret his dreams, but this would not have been done by using Astrology, this was not the gift
God had given thee Astrologers . Was the king confused? or was it a lack of knowledge? understanding Dream interpretation
is something practiced by modern psychiatrists (who also happen to be licensed medical doctors). When I see these passages
being used to condemn Astrology, I wonder why the person is not also condemning dream interpretation and Psychiatry. The Bible
is the key to understanding life and its many mysteries. This verse sums it up: "While we look not at the things which
are seen, but at the things which are not seen, for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen
are eternal." 2nd Corinthians 4:18.In this stunning passage, the Gospel of Saint Luke refers directly to the Astrological
powers of the heavenly bodies. Luke 21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon
the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring. The New Testament is full of clues and insights that point to Jesus' respect and reverence
for Astrology. The most obvious quote is Luke 21:25 when he says, "At the end of this Age there will be signs in the
sun, moon and stars…the heavenly bodies will be shaken." (Literally, the heavenly forces will be agitated.) It's
in the red print. Jesus said it. He tells his twelve disciples that the age to come will be foreshadowed by signs in the heavens.
That is what God said they were supposed to be used for. Signs give directions and guidance to help us navigate life. Psalms
8:3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained.
