Bible Note: Good question.. Matthew 16:3 states, "And in the morning, 'There will be a storm today, for the sky is red and threatening.' Do you know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but cannot discern the signs of the times?" Perhaps satan is working through astrology to deceive us from recognizing these times by giving us a false expectation on the 'bearing' in our lives and putting our trust in something that is totally not trustworthy at its core.. Also, it is written, "You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end." (Matthew 24:6) What better method of deception than to lull the people of the world to sleep so that they completely miss these signs by adverting their attention to unwholesome devices such as astrology? Satan is attacking our very readiness and ability to stand at this hour! And the person who is not saved will be swept away in utter deception and death.. "Blessed is that slave whom his master finds so doing when he comes." Matthew 24:46, Luke 12:43 Come Lord Jesus! --Nolan |
