More Herod and the Great Ox!

Matthew 2:15

15He remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet

Cross references:

Hosea 11
1 When Israel was a youth I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son.

Numbers 24
8 God brings him out of Egypt, he is for him like the horns of a Wild Ox, he will devour the nations who are his adversaries, and will crush their bones in pieces, and shatter them with his arrows.

Wild Ox may be in relation to Taurus and May (not astology, but Gospel of the Stars).

* for those warry to look at anything like this consider – Satan is not a creator but rather a deciever. He did not create the heavens, nor does he have any interest in telling the Gospel. God’s word tells us that we can discern a wicked spirit because it will not testify to Jesus that he died, rose again and sits at the right hand of the Father. So who owns the Heavens, but the one who created it? Israel and with wicked nations worshipped a calf, but I still eat steak. Why? Because God says do not call unclead what I call clean. Reach after God as a lover who is seperated from this great love. “..Perfect love drives out fear…”

Words from “Gospel of the Stars” by Joseph A. Seiss

Beginning on pg. 101

And to this mighty, untamable, and invincible primeval ox the Messiah compares himself in connection with the great judgment upon the wicked world; for then his horn shall be exhalted like the horn of a Reem (Great Ox).

I have already explained that the twelve Zodical signs are arranged in three sets of four each, each set having a particular subject of its own in the grand evangelical history. In the first set we were shown the Seed of the woman in His own personal character and offices. In the second set we were show the formation , career, and destiny of the Church. And in the third set, upon which we now enter, we are shown the great judgment period and the completion of the whole mystery of God respecting our world and race.

paraphrase *

The Bull that is representative of what we know as the Taurus is not correct. It is no normal Bull, but the Reem mentioned in scripture and more firerce and nimble with greater horns – the Mighty and untamable Ox. A wild and mighty Bison, if you will. It stand for judgment. This animal appears in intense rage and charging forward with great power. It is referred to as the Captian or the Mighty Chieftan who commeth.

In mythology Satan has tried to copy this in appearing as a white Bull and enticing Europa.

Among the early nations there was a widespread idea connecting the Bull with the Deluge and the Pleiades – the seven stars, the Doves the peculiar star-cluster of “sweet influences” – with the Ark of Noah and those saved by it in that great judgement. The seven stars also connect with the Church (Rev 1:16; 2:1), are on the back of this Bull, high up on his great sholder. The Pleades, according to the myths, were the seven daughters of Atlas, the upholder of heaven and earth, who, with their sisters, the Hyades, in this Bull’s head, were placed in heaven because of their virtues and mutual sympathy and affection. They beautifully symbolize the saints securely supported by the terrible Judge, and who together with the holy angels whom they are like, thus move with Him and His inflictions upon the guilty world.

Isaiah describes this in prophecy:

“The indignation of the Lord is upon all nations, and His fury upon all their armies. He hath delivered them to the slaughter. Their slain also shall be case out, and the mountians shall be melted out with their blood. The reems (mighty ox and also rendered as unicorns in some texts – the figure we know as Taurus) shall come down, and the bullocks with the bulls, and their land shall be soaked with blood. For it is the day of the Lord’s vengence, and the year of recompenses for the controversy of Zion.” (34:2-8)

That’s all for now…
