The Zodiac and the Gospel - Chapter 8 Aries

✩✩ARIES (THE RAM OR LAMB)✩✩


Corresponds with the tribe of Gad
Hebrew - tah LEH - meaning the lamb


The Latin word aries means, lamb. The brightest star in this constellation is named ras-al-hamal, meaning the head of the ram. This constellation depicts a lamb or ram bounding across the night sky. The ram/lamb is a powerful symbol of salvation in Scripture. Jesus was the Lamb slain. 
And all the people who belong to this world worshiped the beast. They are the ones whose names were not written in the Book of Life that belongs to the Lamb who was slaughtered before the world was made. Revelation 13:8
Aries tells the story of the Lamb from Heaven spoken of in Revelation when John weeps because no one is worthy to open the seal. Suddenly, he turns and sees a lamb looking as though he'd been slain.
Then I began to weep bitterly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll and read it. But one of the twenty-four elders said to me, "Stop weeping! Look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the heir of David's throne, has won the victory. He is worthy to open the scroll and its seven seals." Then I saw a Lamb that looked as if it had been slaughtered...Revelation 5:4-6
 And they sang in a mighty chorus: "Worthy is the Lamb who was slaughtered - to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing." Revelation 5:12
Abraham saw a ram as substitute sacrifice in Genesis when he was about to sacrifice his one and only son, Isaac.
Then Abraham looked up and saw a ram caught by its horns in a thicket. So he took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering in the place of his son. Genesis 22:13 
Here are a few last verses speaking of Jesus as a ram/lamb before we move onto to the constellations which tell of Jesus's return.
The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!" John 1:29
Jesus said, "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep." John 10:11

Rasean

Once upon a time on April 2, 2022, the first track meet in Milton Freewater, OR wrapped up. I thanked my kid's coach for all her time and effort. I told her I really appreciated it.  Her response, on the other hand, is something that took me by surprise.  Not, "Thank you!"  Not, "No problem."  Not, "I'm so glad you guys could make it."  Nope. It was more like, "I'm so glad Rasean is on the team. He's a real inspiration to everyone, especially the other boys."  I thanked her and went on my way like we'd just exchanged pleasantries. But something about the way she said it made me believe she really meant it -- like really meant it. As volunteers rolled up flags and posted finals scores I walked away from her to the Honey Bucket. Why was I so in awe at her response??  Once in the Honey Bucket, it became a time capsule. Suddenly I was transported to the years and decades I'd safely tucked in the back of my mind.  There she wa

Equal Joy This is our eldest son, Isaiah . His name means " YAHWEH is salvation ". It's been his name since before we were married. It's just him. Our hope is it completely fulfills who he is as he continues his journey identifying with whose he is. He, and his brother, our truly our pride and joy as I'm sure any parent can relate. Basketball and golf are two words that can get Isaiah's attention at any given moment. He's mostly likely found either at the gym or on the course working hard to perfect his games. Yesterday was a big day for him. He golfed a 40 for the first time on the back nine. He was so excited. That was only the beginning. One of those shots was a chip in for birdie from 30 yards. My heart burst with excitement for him as I was able to see his hard work paying off right before my eyes. But it gets better! After carefully being measured by the clubhouse staff, he discovered someone had donated a set of irons to him that fit per
