Astrology was not "widely accepted as truth in Biblical times." The times that God used heavenly objects for signs, or in dreams, or to perform an unnatural behavior, He did it as an exception to the normal course of nature. They were events created by God, for a specific one-time purpose of His. There was no "science" of astrology (horoscopes or soothsaying) that was accepted by God.
If you care to give me specific instances of what you think were uses of astrology by God's people in the Bible, I will be happy to address them.
Ah, I think we're getting to the crux of the matter.
You're kidding! You must not follow the news. If you did, you would know that most people "in charge" these days are NOT traditional (conservative?) or religious (at least not fundamental Christian religious).
3,000 astrologers divided by 45 countries = about 66 people from each country
Not very impressive. I thought there were more astrologers than that on any given day in Los Angeles alone.
because American is still young country and Astrology books still in processing to spread the books store in your home local while a bunch of church over this country. Today is 2008 and many people starting to explore the truth from lost secret. Only time will tell and will changing..
Astrology in the Bible
"There shall be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars." - Jesus Christ, Luke 21:25
The Bible states that God made the heavenly bodies to show us "signs" of his intentions. These signs can be read by anyone who knows how to interpret them. Astrology is about interpreting these signs in the motions of the sun, moon, planets, and stars.
"And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as SIGNS to mark seasons and days and years, and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the Earth." And it was so." (Gen. 1:14-15)
"And there shall be SIGNS in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the Earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the Earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory." (Luke 21:25-27)
In the verse above, Christ uses astrology to reveal the "signs" in the sky of his coming.
The Bible states that the first communication from God came from the stars. David writes in his Psalm:
"The HEAVENS declare the glory of God, and the firmament shows his handiwork. Day after day utters his speech and night after night shows his knowledge. There is no tongue or language where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the Earth and their words to the ends of the world. In them (the heavens) he has set a tabernacle for the sun." (Psalm 19:1-4)
"Can you bring forth the Mazzaroth (the zodiac) in their seasons or lead out the Bear with its cubs? (an astrological constellation)" (Job 38:32)
Here you go. I just give you five.. if you want to know, i will be happy give you more information.
