      The sphinx has a head of a woman, and a body of a lion. This is extremely unusual in its design, until you understand the reasons for this peculiar design. In the constellations in the heavens, there is one group of stars known as Virgo, or the virgin. Another group of stars is known as Leo, or the lion. These account for two of the twelve major constellations in the heavens. But why is this so important?

      In central Egypt, at Esneh, a temple was discovered. In the central rotunda, plottings of the twelve major constellations were found in a circle on the ceiling. Interestingly enough, included in these plottings was found a drawing of the sphinx. And it was placed in between the constellations of Virgo and Leo. This has proved to be very revealing. It tells us just where to begin and to end in the study of the heavenly stars and their constellations.

      As the sphinx has the head of a woman, and the tail, or end, of a lion, it is placed between the constellations of Virgo, the virgin, or woman, and Leo, the lion. Then we would realize that we should start with Virgo, as the head or beginning. Since the constellations are placed in a circle, the obvious end would be in Leo, or the lion. This then would clearly explain the meaning of the sphinx. It is simply a structure which was designed to reveal to others, clearly, where to begin and end in the study of the heavenly bodies, stars, or constellations.

      With this understanding, we can now begin properly studying Day Four of the signs in the stars, as God created and placed them in their heavenly locations, or signs, as constellations.

      As we now see, thanks to the sphinx in Egypt, we begin with Virgo, and we will end with Leo in the study of the signs, or model, or story, in the stars.

      Then what do these stars clearly reveal to us, or what is the real story that God has set in the stars?

      Remember, as we look at each of these constellations that all of the stars in these groups do not suggest the way we know them as. They do not now, nor have they ever resembled the way we know them as. So it is very unusual that every culture or civilization throughout history has always used the same symbols for each of these star groups.

      Why? Because God has set them so! Too many seem to think that these symbols seem to come from a pattern developed in some manner, such as connecting the stars of a particular star group, like connecting dots, but this is just not so. In fact, there is no way any of these symbols can ever be contrived, even accidentally by using this type of reasoning. But there are always one or two exceptions, however, that could be treated this way. One exception is the cross or crux constellation which we will look at, further on, in our exploration of these heavenly bodies.

      How, then, did these symbols occur? It was by the names, the original Hebrew names, in fact, given to the stars of each of these groups, by God, in the beginning.

      PSALM 147:4:

      “HE TELLETH THE NUMBERS OF THE STARS; HE CALLETH THEM ALL BY THEIR NAMES.”

      ISAIAH 40:21–22:

      “HAVE YE NOT KNOWN? HAVE YE NOT HEARD? HATH IT NOT BEEN TOLD YOU FROM THE BEGINNING? HAVE YE NOT UNDERSTOOD FROM THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE EARTH? IT IS HE THAT SITTETH UPON THE CIRCLE OF THE EARTH, AND THE INHABITANTS THEREOF ARE AS GRASSHOPPERS; THAT STRETCHETH OUT THE HEAVENS AS A CURTAIN, AND SPREADETH THEM OUT AS A TENT TO DWELL IN:”

      JEREMIAH 10:12:

      “HE HATH MADE THE EARTH BY HIS POWER, HE HATH ESTABLISHED THE WORLD BY HIS WISDOM, AND HATH STRETCHED OUT THE HEAVENS BY HIS DISCRETION.”

      EXODUS 20:11:

      “FOR IN SIX DAYS THE LORD MADE HEAVEN AND EARTH, THE SEA, AND ALL THAT IN THEM IS, AND RESTED THE SEVENTH DAY: WHEREFORE THE LORD BLESSED THE SABBATH DAY, AND HALLOWED IT.”

      All of these constellations are, and have been, referred to as the zodiac, and the Mazzaroth, which are simply designations of the star constellations as a whole. However to take a closer look at each of these designations, we will see that by their collective names, the meaning of their existence is clearly defined.

      In the use of the name zodiac, there is a common misconception from the outset. This misunderstanding is derived from the entirely bogus concept, that this word zodiac is derived from the Greek word zooie, which actually means animals. This misconception is bogusly derived at because of the large amount of animal symbols found among the signs in the constellations. However, this is an incorrect assumption. As I digress to explain this bogus conclusion, it should become crystal clear that there is entirely no way that this conclusion can actually be contrived when you are in possession of all the actual facts, and are not allowed to be deluded by the obvious deceptions that seemingly appear in the constellations, without a full understanding of their actual, factual meanings, and the real reasons for their existence.

      In the case of the term zodiac, the misconception is that the root word comes from the Greek word zooie. This is the same word that we come up with the name for all our animal collections in the major cities throughout the world, which we refer to as zoos. We determined this name for these areas of caged animals, simply because these areas are filled with strange and wonderful collections of animals and birds, and in many cases aquariums, also, filled with strange and wonderful aquatic life of all kinds. Yet, even though this Greek word would accurately apply to these areas, due to its actual meaning in the Greek as animals, when it comes to the heavens, and their constellations, it would not be appropriate, simply because many of these animals seen in the stars are unlike any that we can see here on the earth. Also, many of these visualizations among the heavens are actually combined; for example, one has half a body of a dying ram, and the other half of the body is that of a fish. Now, just where have we seen any such creation here on earth? Another is of a half-man, half-horse, which in Greek mythology we call Centaur. However, in reality, we cannot see it at all, because there is no such actual creation, as in the case of half-woman, half-fish, which we call mermaids, even though they do not actually exist either. Therefore this Greek word would apply accurately with regard to the zoos upon the earth. Yet, they would not accurately apply with regard to the heavens and the constellations.

      Once again with regard to this word zodiac. If it does not apply to the Greek word, then just what does it apply to?

      The first clue goes back to the beginning as God created the heavens and the stars. First, God created them—long before there was such a thing as man, and especially before there was such a thing as a man called a Greek, with a language called Greek, from such a place called Greece for this language to come from. In fact, this Greek language, although it is older than this, does not appear in prominence until the time of a Greek man, called Alexander the Great, and his conquests of all of the known world of his time. Therefore, he caused the language of Greek to become the common language of all the known world, after all his conquests of his time. However, his time was some four hundred years, or four centuries, after the book of Daniel, in the Old Testament, and Daniel’s encounter with Nebuchadnezzar, the King of Babylon, which was some five hundred years, or five centuries after the man called Moses, also recorded in the Old Testament, which was approximately five hundred years, or five centuries, after the man called Abraham of the Old Testament, who was the first patriarch of the Old Testament, some three-hundred-and-fifty years, or three-and-a-half centuries, after the man called Noah, who, as everyone knows, was the builder of the Ark, at the time of the Flood, or deluge, in the book of Genesis in the Bible.

      All of this walk through history is simply to reveal that the stars could not have been referred to as the zodiac, from the Greek word, as a root word, all the way back to Day Four of re-creation, because there was no such language that far back then.

      In fact, according to the Bible, and the Tower of Babel, there was only one common language spoken throughout
