“The science of finding intelligible meaning in the movement and nature of heavenly bodies in relation to people and events on earth.”
How could planets and other celestial bodiesMillions of miles from us affect who we are, what we’re supposed to do, and what lies ahead in our futures?!
Common Definition ofAstrology:
Science?! Really?!
“A religious belief system involving the idea that various gods represented by celestial bodies are assigned control over different parts of human anatomy in addition to the activity and personality of every person.”
Astrology has nothing to do with the sun, moon, planets and stars. The devil and his forces are the powers behind it.
True Definition ofAstrology:
Astrology Is Idolatry!
“There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daugh- ter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times…” -- Deut. 18:10
The Bible Condemns Astrology
“…Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosti- cators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.”
-- Isa. 47:13-14
Why People Get IntoAstrology:
THE “BAIT”1. It can be exciting, intriguing and fun.
2. It is an amoral & “restriction free” religion.
3. It promises to reveal more about people and what makes them tick.
4. It claims the ability to predict one’s future.
5. It has millions of devotees who say it works.
“And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth…” – Rev. 12:3-4a
Astrology has nothing to do with celestial bodies, but it has everything to do with fallen angels, which the Bible identifies as “stars.”
The Powers Behind thePower of Astrology:
“Be sober, be vigilant; be- cause your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walk- eth about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith…” -- I Peter 5:8-9a
Can Fallen Angels Influence Us?
“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” -- James 4:7
If the devil and his demons couldn’t have any influ- ence on us, then there would be no need to resist them, nor to put on the whole armor of God.
