Bible Question: What about people who follow horoscopes? |
Bible Answer: Astrologer- Hebrew word "ashshaph": an enchanter, one who professes to divine future events by the appearance of the stars. This was a science and a false religion that flourished among the Chaldeans, who worshipped the heavenly bodies, as did the ancient Arabians and Syrians. Astrology was posively and strictly forbidden to the people of God. Deuteronomy 4:20 And lest you lift up your eyes unto heave, and when you see the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, should be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD your God has divided unto all nations under the whole heaven. Deuteronomy 18:9-12 When you are come into the land which the LORD your God gives you, you shall not learn to do after the ABOMINATIONS of those nations. There shall not be found among you anyone that makes his son or daughter pass through the fire, or that uses divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all these things are an abomination unto the LORD..... Isaish 47:13 You are wearied in the multitude of you counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save you from these things that shall come upon you. This is the word of the LORD regarding Astrology. |
