The Zodiac and the Gospel - Chapter 7 Pisces

✩✩PISCES (THE FISHES)✩✩

Corresponds with the tribe of Simeon

Hebrew - dah GEEM - meaning the fishes; closely related to the multitudes

This constellation depicts two fish tied together with bands around each of their tails. It is a clear picture of the heart of the Father and the heart of the Son for both Jew (one fish) and Gentile (the other fish) and binds them together as one body in Him. Joining both Jew and Gentile together brings about perfect peace. Making two into one brings about multiplication and blessing.

For Christ himself has brought peace to us. He united Jews and Gentiles into one people when, in his own body on the cross, he broke down the wall of hostility that separated us. Ephesians 2:14

The Hebrew meaning is closely related to the meaning, the multitudes.

Then God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground." Genesis 1:28

Then the LORD took Abram outside and said to him, "Look up into the sky and count the stars if you can. That's how many descendants you ill have!" Genesis 15:5 

The one miracle that is recorded in all four gospels is when Jesus multiplied the loaves and fishes. He fed 5,000 men and countless others if you include all the women and children. When everyone had eaten their fill, there was still enough for leftovers.

During the times of the early church in Israel Christians were being fiercely persecuted. The only way to communicate with others and find out if they were believers was to take a stick and draw a half of a fish in the sand. It was a secret sign and clue for the other person. If they too were a believer, they would complete the other half of the fish by drawing it with their stick in the sand. This was a way for Christians to identify themselves to one another.
