The Zodiac and the Gospel - Chapter 12 Leo

✰✰LEO (THE LION)✰✰

Corresponds with the tribe of Judah

Hebrew - ahr YEH - meaning the lion

Here we are! We finally made it to the twelfth and final chapter of our constellation circle. The "riddle of the sphinx" has been solved. Between Virgo and Leo is the grand story of salvationLeo the lion completes the circle and allows it to fully close. Did you know the word paradise means a garden enclosed? The Mazzaroth is a circle of twelve signs enclosing paradise, and it is ONLY completed by the lion who is the Messiah. He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

The Latin translation for this word is regulus or prince. The Arabic meaning is the heart of the lion. Many words in Hebrew mean lion, but this particular version of the word is only translated a lion hunting its prey.

When Jacob (Israel) laid dying, he have his final blessing to Judah. "Judah is a lion's welp. He lies down as a lion and as a lion who can rouse him?" Genesis 49:9.

In Revelation 5:5 the Messiah is called the Lion of the tribe of Judah; the root of David.

Revelation 5:1-5 talks about a scroll being the title deed to earth that was forfeited by Adam. Here, Jesus comes to our rescue as His deepest desire is to recover what was lost. The only way for men and women who are made in the image of God to be fully reconciled back to God is through Jesus Christ. He is the only one who is worthy to open this scroll, and the scroll is the only way to recover what was lost. What is the cost of this restoration? Revelation 5:9 tells us the answer; it's the life and blood of the Hero from Heaven.

The opening of the seven seals in Revelation unleashes the Day of the Lord when the Lion comes with great force to destroy His enemies. The Messiah is both the Lion and the Lamb. His character included retribution against those who threaten His children.

We are rapidly approaching the hour when the Lion will be roused. We anticipate His return to earth. See Hosea 13:7-8.

In the Leo constellation we see a lion whose feet are descending upon and destroying Hydra, the great serpent. When the Lion defeats evil for the last time, the garden will be restored by the return of the conquering Messiah (Revelation 19 and Isaiah 35).
