Most persons have been taught the names and figures of the signs of the zodiac. Manyhave been repelled by the explanations usually given of these and the otherconstellations; other have considered them not only useless, but burdensome to theastronomer; and it has been proposed to substitute a kind of survey of the heavens, wherelines and angles should take the place of traditional figures. Should this alteration beadopted, the message these figures were intended to transmit will not be less impressivewhen the types in which it was conveyed are no longer made subservient to the purposesof practical astronomy; especially as through being thus used the forms of the emblemsare already disguised and modernized, and new figures, the most incongruous and absurd,have been intruded among them, while the names of the stars are becoming continuallymore corrupted.* Mazzaroth, though sometimes in modern lexicons differently interpreted, is here usedas meaning the constellations. In Job xxxviii. 32, it stands in the text of the English Bibleuntranslated: in the margin it is rendered "the twelve signs." Mazzaroth is a feminine orneuter plural noun, applied to separate chambers of divisions, such as the constellations.Mazaloth, a word with which it is sometimes identified, means a way through which anything goes, as the sun through the zodiac, and the moon through the lunar mansions, orManzil al Kamar, the Arabic appellation of the lunar zodiac still used in the East. Itoccurs in the sacred Scriptures only in 2 Kings xxiii. 5, probably in the same sense.The object of this work is to show, by the combined testimony of tradition and of ancientwriters, and from the meaning of the yet extant ancient names of stars and emblems, thatthey were invented to transmit the earliest and most important knowledge possessed bythe first fathers of mankind. Such records were supposed to exist in the hieroglyphics ofEgypt, but among them have only been discovered the names and dates, the conquestsand the praises of sovereigns. It is intended in this work to prove that far higher and moreimportant records, those of the only true wisdom of man, are contained in the emblems ofthe constellations. The agreement of the figures will be shown, with the types used by"the holy prophets who have been since the world began," in their predictions of Him,first promised to Adam as the seed of the woman and the conqueror of the serpent; alsothat in the names the very words in which their prophecies were delivered are frequentlyto be recognized; and that the primitive roots (by which the Assyrian and Babylonishrecords are now interpreted) exist alike in the names of the stars and in the dialects usedby the prophets. These names, and the ideas conveyed by the figures, are traced in themythology of the nations; and it will be shown, from the confused and incongruous usethere made of them, that the fables were invented from the constellations, and not theconstellations from the fables.* It has been attempted by means of these coincidences** toderive the origin of all religions from the constellations; but no reasons have been givenwhy the constellations should be thus figured and thus named. In this work such reasonswill be brought forward, and adequate cause assigned, in the revelation made to Adamand recorded by the subsequent prophets, for the invention of these names and figures;their origin being sought in the religion given by God, and in their perversion being foundthe origin of the false religions set up by man.* The evidences by which these statements are supported will be found in the SecondPart.
** Dupuis, L'Origine des Cultes.NOTE ON "CONSTELLATIONS."The ancients divided the heavens by forty-eight constellations, imaginary and arbitrarydivisions, sometimes, but not always, comprising remarkable stars. Among the twelvesigns, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Scorpio, and Virgo, have bright stars, leading the eye to fixon them as constellations, but the others have not; and would not be naturallydistinguished as such. It is therefore evident that the distinction of the starry heavens intoconstellations, like the division of the earth into districts, is the world of man'simagination for his own purposes. In this case the purpose was to declare the glory ofGod. Orion, the Great Bear, Cassiopea, Lyra, the Southern Cross, and perhaps someothers, have bright stars pointing them out, but the records of ancient astronomy onlydetermine what minor stars are reckoned as belonging to them; for instance the serpentineemblems are so mingled with the others as to be complained of as causing confusion bythose who did not see in them an intentional type of the works of the enemy as intricatelyinterwoven with the destinies of man.QUESTIONSTO WHICH IT IS GENERALLY BELIEVED THAT THERE IS NO CERTAINANSWERTO BE GIVEN, TRADITION OR CONJECTURE BEING ALL THAT IS EVERALLEGED.TraditionalAnswersAnswers given bythis ExplanationWho was theinventor ofastronomy?Seth or Thoth, orHermes; Enoch orEdris, Oannes orNoah.Seth, the son of Adam,with Adam andEnoch.*When was itinvented?Very early.In the first age ofmankind.*In the East: somesay Chaldea; some,Egypt or India.In their firsthabitations, in or nearthe land of Eden, saidto have been betweenChaldea and India.*QuestionsWhere?
When, where, andby whom were theyet extant namesand emblemsinvented?Unknown, as to thesigns; Necepsos,king of Egypt(B.C. 900), is saidto have introducedthe decans intoEgypt.At the same time, bythe same persons, andin the same locality.*What is the meaningof those names andthose emblems?Unknown, but thesubject of variousconjectures.They express thepromises andprophecies revealed toAdam, Seth, andEnoch.**Wholly unknown.Because they conveyedthat meaning, and tokeep that earlyrevelation in mind.**Unknown.The decans, as far asascertained fromOriental traditions,accord with the signsin which they werefound, and for thisreason were so formedand allotted.**Why chosen?Why were the thirtysix decans orconstellationsallotted three to eachsign, and why sofigured and soallotted?* Part II. p. 5, &c.** Part II. pp. 60, 61.Jewish, Persian, and Arabian ancient writers preserve the tradition, that "the family ofSeth," Adam, Seth, and Enoch, "invented astronomy," the Egyptians attributing it to Sethor Thoth, said to be the same as Hermes Trismegistus, the thrice-great.Plutarch mentions Seth, "to whom the third day of the five of the epact was dedicated," asworshipped in Egypt. He was said to be the third son of Set and Netpthe, the father andmother of the gods, whose names are given by Bunsen as Seb and Nutpe.Bunsen says that Thoth or Hermes was called the scribe of truth, the twice-great; and thatthey held Set to be the name of the god of Asiatic people. In the "Book of the Dead," it issaid, "Tet, which is Set," thus confirming the identification of Seth and Thoth.
OBJECTIONSSOMETIMES URGED AS TO THE ORIGIN AND MEANINGOF THE NAMES AND FIGURES OF THE ANCIENT CONSTELLATIONS.Objection I. That thesigns typify theseasons, and theiraccompanying events,such as we now seethem.Answer I. If they did so in Italy in the timeof Macrobius (A.D. 400), who first gavethis explanation, they could not have doneso in the East, where he allows they wereinvented, and in the ancient times to whichhe himself refers them, as does all ancienttradition.*II. That they wereinvented by theEgyptians to show theseasons of theirclimate;II. The Egyptians have no where said so,neither can the analogy be carried out. Theinundation of the Nile must have beenthere; and if it took place under Aquarius,as has been conjectured, it must have beenmore than 12,000 years before the timewhen the monuments of Egypt show thesigns depicted on them, and when geologyassures us man did not exist on the earth.**III. Or by theEgyptians, to expresstheir mythology;III. That mythology has sufficientresemblance with the signs to have beenborrowed from them, but not to haveoriginated them. Isis may be traced,perhaps Horus, but not Osiris; and Apis isnot like any other name of the bull of thezodiac, neither had he, like Apis, an eagleconnected with his figure.***IV. By the Greeks, toexpress the twelvelabours of Hercules;IV. The order of the twelve signs isinvariable. Authorities differ as to that ofthe twelve labours, which yet sufficientlyallude to the signs to show that they werederived from the zodiac. *V. By Chiron, for theevents of theArgonautic expedition.V. The signs are known to have been borneon the banners of the tribes of Israel longbefore the time of the Argonauts. **VI. According toOlaus Rudbeck theVI. The merits of this explanation may bejudged by that of the twins, as showing
Swede, they typify theseasons ofScandinavia.when infants may be bathed in the rivers. Ithowever proves that the Scandinaviantribes preserved the twelve signs.VII. That the nameshave no meaning.VII. Aben Ezra records the meaning ofsome of them as they were understood bythe ancient Jews. Every name has a clearmeaning, to be found in Hebrew, andgenerally in Arabic, applicable to theemblem in which it occurs. *VIII. That in Arabicthe names sometimeshave strange andincongruous meanings.VIII. If a forced and modern usage of theroot be taken, this may be so; as, forinstance, in placing a company of virgins inthe throat of the dog, where the epithetclear, pure, from the root Adar, glorious, isapplied to the emblem of the coming of thepromised seed, as it has also been appliedto a clear, pure virgin. By referring to theancient Arabic, particularly the two-letteredroots, these absurdities are got rid of, andthe Arabic will corroborate the Hebrew. *** Part I. p. 18.** Part I. ch. 1.*** Part II., on Egypt. * Part II. p. 88. ** Part II. p. 37, &c. * Part II., Tables of the Signs, pp. 9-25 ** Part II., Tables, pp. 9-25; p. 16. Virgo.Note On Answer I.— In those ancient times the solstices and equinoxes did not occur inthe signs to which Macrobius would refer them. The sun did not then begin to recedeunder the Crab, nor to ascend under the Goat. By the precession of the equinoxes, thesolstices, earlier in Leo and Aquarius, had in his time passed into Cancer and Capricorn,as they have now into Gemini and Sagittarius. Those who in later times have tried to
explain the signs by the seasons of modern Europe have these and yet greater difficultiesto encounter.On Answer II. — Some writers have fancied an allusion to the inundation in Aquarius: asmall stream issuing from an urn in the hand of a human figure, and received in themouth of a fish, does not, however, seem to suit it.* Arago, acknowledged to be asdeficient in languages as he was accomplished in astronomy, has ventured, in his popularlectures, on explanations of the emblems of the signs with very forced applications to theclimate of Egypt; doing this from what he supposes may be the derivation of their Copticnames, or those of the Egyptian months to which he would adapt them. That on this pointhe is no authority may be seen from his assertion that "the Hebrew verb fafa signifiesobtenebrescere:" that the letter F does not exist in the Hebrew Alphabet is but a triflingobjection, for the sound does, and would be written phapha; but not one word with thatroot in it has any connexion with the idea of darkness, while the numerous words inwhich it appears have all some relation to splendour, light, beauty; the Greek derivativeshaving that meaning, as phaino, will at once occur to the Greek scholar. The Egyptian Papa according to Bunsen means to bear, to bring forth; if it was an Egyptian name of anysign, it would probably be of Virgo; he says the Egyptian harvest begins in February,where he would place Leo, and sowing in November, where he would place Taurus.Aquarius he gives to "the second month of summer," and says, "during this month orthereabouts the sources of the Nile give forth their full complement of water." Accordingto the place of the sun in the signs about the time of the Christian era, and for 2000 yearsbefore it, the harvest of Egypt could not take place under Virgo, nor the inundation underAquarius.* Part II. p. 22.On Answer V. — This conjecture, though adopted by Sir I. Newton, is also confuted bySir W. Jones and others, who have found the signs used in Oriental astronomy longbefore the Argonautic expedition.** Part II. pp. 6-8.On Answer VII. — On the meanings early attributed to the signs the very ancient scienceof astrology is founded.The evidence by which these answers and those on p. 3 are supported, will be found inthe Second Part, especially in the pages referred to.Previous Contents NextPhilologos Bible Prophecy Research The BPR Reference Guide Jewish Calendar About Us

There is an appeal to the common sense ofmankind as to the meanings of the emblems of ancient astronomy, which it wasapparently intended they should make. The aid of history, languages, and traditions mayhave been required to ascertain what these meanings were; but when pointed out, any oneacquainted with the Holy Scriptures can judge of their suitability to express theprophecies there recorded, as given to the first parents of mankind. The seed of thewoman shall bruise the serpent's head, the serpent shall bruise his heel. There is atradition that at the creation of man the sun at the summer solstice was among the starscalled the sign of the Virgin. In that place was figured, long before the Christian era, inthe Egyptian zodiac, the figure of a woman with an ear of corn in her hand, and belowanother female figure holding an infant. Here, then, is recognized the seed, the offspringof the woman. In the next sign, the scales at once convey the idea of purchase. He comesto buy, to redeem. There is then the figure of a man grasping a serpent as in conflict, hisfoot on the head of a scorpion, whose reverted sting appears to have wounded his heel.Here the seed, the offspring of the woman, is bruising the enemy's head, after havingreceived the predicted bruise in the heel. The first prophecy is thus fully figured out: thefirst part of it is as fully accomplished; the heel of the virgin's Son was bruised whennailed upon the cross.
In the next sign an arrow is coming forth from the bow. Can any one fail to see hereexpressed, that He shall come, speedily, surely? Then a kid or goat, sinking down as thesacrifice appointed to be slain for sin. Then the promised seed, the man, is arising, andpouring out water as to purify, sustain life. Two fishes, joined together by a band, comenext: water is their element, abundantly multiplying is their characteristic. To theChristian there is but to name the Church of Christ, and the fitness of the emblem will atonce be recognized. The primitive institution of sacrifice was equally of a kid or a lamb.The lamb, or young ram, is next, as it had been slain, but now living, on high. The bull,also a sacrificial animal, but living, and in an attitude of victory. He who died in the kid isnow alive again, and to Him all power is given. The twins, the closest visible image oftwo natures in one person, are next; and the Scriptural believer will not fail to recognizetheir import. The crab holds fast what it has once grasped. The lion rends apart whateverhe seizes, as at the last awful day the Judge will separate good from evil."Take and read," as the voice cried to the saint of old.* "Search the Scriptures," as theLord Himself has enjoined, even if never searched before; and see if these simple andexpressive emblems are not faithful interpreters of the prophecies there contained. Thecoincidences cannot be overlooked; they are too complete to be unintentional: thecommon sense of mankind at once recognizes the marks of design. To that universalfaculty the appeal is made: are there not here those marks, and in the correspondence withScripture the proof of what was that design? Was it not indeed in another, yet consistent,record to show forth the glory of God?* Augustin, Confess.This appeal to the ordinary faculties of the human mind, to its powers of comparison andjudgment, may well hope for the verdict that the signs* were intended to symbolizeprophecy, as recorded in the Holy Scriptures. A connecting link is the signification of theancient names in the original** language of mankind, as transmitted in the Hebrew of theHoly Scriptures and the most ancient Arabic: but to appreciate this additional evidencethere must be either a knowledge of the languages, or a due estimate of the force oftestimony. Those acquainted with the original Scriptures will testify to the occurrence ofthe root*** of the name in those writings, as shown by the references given in thesubsequent Tables.* The zodiac in its present forms and order, as beginning with Aries, is transmitted byHipparchus and Ptolemy, who lived about the time of the Christian era, as "ofunquestioned authority, unknown origin, and unsearchable antiquity." The explanationhere given follows the course of prophecy, and the order of the stars arising in theevening, with the sun in Aries.** Part II. p. 76.*** "The root" may be explained by English examples; as, "The idea of a family of wordsis familiar to the reader," "Familiarity with the search will familiarize the result."

The namesapplied by the Romans to their divinities are considered to be derivedfrom the Etruscan; it is therefore probable that the names by which theycalled the Twelve Signs also had the same origin. These names are hereshown to contain roots having the same meanings as those of the Semitic
names of the same figures. This derivation is confirmed by the recentNinevite discoveries, from which it is inferred that Etruria "had anintimate connexion with Assyria."Names of Ancient Italy, when referred to Semitic roots, will also point toan Oriental origin, as, for instance,—abundanceIsa 15:7rtycoveringIsa 25:7 lDeut 12:2MrGen 49:12NblGen 16:12Np#Italia, Arab. long; the Chaldee gives the sense to coverNeh 3:15ll Sabine is also from another root, dwellGen 20:15b#yIsa 5:1Nm#Gen 14:1KlmIsa 9:6r#Tinia, Supreme God, for ever continuingPsa 72:17NnyCapra, a goat, the sacrifice of atonementLev 16:18rpkEtruria, abundant, very richLatium, hiddenRoma, great, highhighAlba, great of heart, Job 11:12; Heb. also whiteOscan, dwelling, dwellersdweltSamnite, fertilefruitfulEtruscan words, of which the meaning is known:—Lucumo, prince, king, 2 Sam 24:23kingAesar, God; chief, ruler, Gen 12:15PrinceTHE TWELVE SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC.As Connected With The Primitive Prophecies.The antiquity and wide diffusion of these emblems, and the mystic veneration in whichthey were ever held, are traced in the accompanying pages: it is also shown that thenotion of the signs having any reference to the seasons is of comparatively late origin,and could not at any time have been sustained consistently with the times and climates oftheir well-known previous existence.*
* Part I. ch. 1; Part II. p. 5, &c.It was not till the diffusion of the light of Christianity had cast into shade these dimforeshowings of its great events, that the vague awe with which these emblems wereformerly regarded gave place to indifference and neglect, or was only preserved in thereveries of astrology. This reverence*, in some cases leading even to idolatry, indicated atradition that their message was divine. They each represented an action, still to be tracedin the fables connected with them**, a type, of which the true antitype is to be found inthe great subject of the ancient prophecies contained in the Hebrew Scriptures.** Theprimitive year began in the sign Virgo, the stars of which were seen most strikingly in theevening sky when the sun was in Aries, the splendid star still by us called Spica, the earof corn, in the woman's hand, marking the leading idea, the Promised Seed. Thus wasrepresented the subject of the first promise, the foundation of the hopes of fallen man. Inthe next sign, Libra, we have His work, which was to be to buy, to redeem, figured in thebalance weighing the price against the purchase. Then in Scorpio follows the indicationof what that price was to be; the conflict, in which the seed of the woman receives thewound in his heel, while his other foot is on the head of the enemy, here figured by thescorpion, a venomous reptile, who can sting even while his head is bruised.* Part II., on Egypt and Assyria.** Part II. p. 31, &c.*** Part II. p. 60, also the Tables from pp. 9-25.Next we find the Archer, with his arrow in the act of going out from the bow, expressingthat the promised Deliverer should be sent forth.Then Capricornus, the goat, the victim or sacrifice sinking down as wounded, showingthat the promised Deliverer must be slain as a sacrifice. In Aquarius we see the rising upand pouring forth of water, as to cleanse and fertilize, showing that the sacrifice was tobring purification and benediction by means of the risen Messiah.In Pisces two fishes are bound together by a band, which is continued to and held by thefore-feet of Aries, figuring the leading idea of union. The fishes, a well-known emblemof the Church among the early Christians, represent the redeemed and purified multitudesof the Church before and after the first coming, in union with each other and with theirRedeemer.The subsequent sign, the Lamb or ram of sacrifice, here not dying, but as it had beenslain, is now reigning triumphant, with one foot on the head of the enemy, bound also bya band, which that foot holds.We then see Taurus, the bull, showing forth the dominion of Him who had been asacrifice for sin, now reigning over all.
In Gemini, the twins, whether human or of the sacrificial goat or sheep, the leading ideaof combining, entwining, is equ
