The Mazzaroth

The Mazzaroth

Job 38:32Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?
The Lord gave me this verse the other day and I thought to myself what in the world is a mazzaroth. I looked in other translations and it said constellations but something didn't sit right with me in my spirit so I looked up news on constellations. Come to find out that Arcturus is the great bear. The Great bear is only visible in the southern sky but right now the entire world is able to see him. Not only that, Orion is supposed to be exiting stage left with the change of the seasons but he is defiantly holding on right overhead in the sky. (Luke 21:25 "There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves,)
Yet still something wasn't quite right, like maybe I didn't have the whole story so I began to look up Greek definitions.

Mazzaroth means- a constellation but also raining(Used in 2 Kings 23:5); a sense of distinction; to set apart(nawzal). Which immediately I recognized because God has been talking about raining down His spirit upon us. This is the only time it is mentioned in the bible and somehow over time the meaning(the etymology) of the word has been lost in newer revisals of the Hebrew language. But, there were some cross references of some other words that were similar in the Greek and Hebrew which drew my attention.
They are:
mazzarah - which means to be crowned, consecration, dedication, especially of royalty.nawzal - the set apart definiton means - drip, shed by trickling, distill drop, flood, cause to flow, running water.
nawzeer - is the nazarite - separate.

All these definitions were interesting to me because anyone who has been listening to the Holy spirit knows that he has been speaking to us about being set apart. Some of us have even been impressed to take the vow of the nazarite. He has asked us to come out of the world, turn off the TV, give our money to him (the crown classes), These are obviously just examples. He wants every aspect, every minute detail of our very lives. Every decision he wants a part in. So, needless to say, I was listening at this point.

Here are the correlating scriptures to the word nawzal.(Lev. 15:31, Lev. 22:2, Numbers 6, Ezek 14:7, Hosea 9:10, Zech. 7:3)These are interesting because God has had us studying the tabernacle and the israelites in the wilderness after the exodus.

Not that this is scripture but definitely a note of interest, the Book of Enoch - Mentions the word Muzaloth as the eighth heaven which is a place of the changing of the seasons.(Jude 1:14-25 Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied these things) The Lord has told several of us that the angel named the changing of the winds is at work. The prophet Amos calls it the day of the Lord.

So next step God sends me too is this: Gen 1:14, Gen 7:11, Gen 8:22
We know from history that Babylon invented astrology(not to be confused with astronomy) and changed everything. They changed the names of the zodiac and taught people to “read signs” everything that God said we shouldn't do. So, I have been studying the book of Daniel and in history I have learned that the visions of Daniel 2 and Daniel 7 are the same kingdoms. I believe this to be Daniel 2 as a view of human perspective (awe and wow) and Daniel 7 to be a view of God's perspective(vicious and destructive) Just for some background information I will reveal to you what I have been taught the visions to be (I realize people disagree on this but it is what I personally believe)

Babylon(King Nebuchadnezzar) is the head of Gold. He is also the Lion with eagle's wings. The word of God symbolizes Nebuchadnezzar and/or Babylon as both an eagle ( Jer. 49:22, Lam 4:19, Ezek 17:3) and a lion ( Jer 4:7 49:19, 50:17,44)

Medo-Persian empire (King Darius/Cyrus) is the chest and arms of silver. It is also the lopsided bear. This is believed to be because Persia grew to be much bigger than the mede empire. The three ribs in the bears mouth are believed to be their three major conquests: Babylon (539 BC), Lydia (546 BC), and Egypt (525 BC).

The Grecian empire (Alexander the Great) is the belly and thighs of bronze and the 4 headed 4 winged leopard. After his untimely death, Alex's empire was split into four parts and given to his four generals. Cassander, Lysimachus, Ptolemy, and Seleuces. (The Seleucid Dynasty had seven rulers until it came to Seleuces IV Philapator. His Brother Antiochus IV Epiphanes murdered him and gained control of the Seleucid dynasty which gained supremacy over the areas of Syria, Israel, and Mesopotamia)

The Roman empire is the legs of iron(out of this empire will come the feet and 10 toes) and the beast with 10 horns. The fourth beast is lacking description.
The rock that smashes is the coming kingdom of God.
(All information described from the book of Daniel was gained from Beth Moore's bible study Daniel. I would highly recommend it. All of this is a basic outline for informational purposes to explain the words given to me by God.)

So back to the point at hand (the Mazzaroth):
The development of Astronomy is believed to come from Babylonia around 1400-1000 B.C. with the Ea-Anu-Enlil tablets. Then came the records of celestial events and algebraic tables of celestial motions. The zodiac of Babylonia evolved around 420 B.C., before Berossos, Kidinnu, Naburiannu, and the Seleucid Babylonians appeared. China projects 1400 B.C. for the beginning of eclipses, then comet records, Calendars, and star catalogues. Some propose that they influenced Mexico. Astronomy in Europe began around 600 through 300 B.C. with the pre-Socratic speculations, then Aristarchus (heliocentric theory), Eratostenes, Hipparchus and Ptolemy. Ptolemy and Babylonia influenced the Arabs and India which led to the term manazil. The term manazil is an Arabic expression derived from an ancient Akkadian word that literally means 'Mansion'. In Antiquity it was used in reference to the so-called 'night residences' of the Moon and these 'signs' formed the Semitic Lunar Zodiac consisting of 28 manazils, each one being 12 degrees and fifty-one minutes wide. Mansion or mansions also see house as any one of the 28 divisions of the moon's monthly path [Middle English, a dwelling, from Old French, from Latin mansio, mansion-, from mansus, past participle of manere, to dwell, remain].

The names of the stars date back hundreds or even thousands of years, and after the collapse of the Greco-Roman civilization, this knowledge was preserved by the Arabs. During the Renaissance, the Europeans adopted many of these names and terms from the Arabic sources, which is why a majority of star names are Arabic in origin. In 1603, German astronomer Johann Bayer (1572-1625) instituted a system of assigning Greek letters to stars (Bayer designation), consisting of a lowercase Greek letter followed by the genitive name of the constellation. The letters are usually assigned to the stars in the order of their brightness within a given constellation.

So I began to think In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. John 14:2

In Genesis 7:11 the word month means - new moon. (There are 29 1/2 days from one new moon to the next) Gen 6:17, 7:6: The Place of the spring also fountain rise of the ocean also the flood gates of the heavens which is rain. The Gihon Spring to burst forth - comparative to the bursting forth of the deep during the times of Noah as he is going to burst forth his spirit now. (He keeps saying as in the days of Noah...)Gen 7:12 - this is comparative as well.

Mal 4:5 And Elijah will come or else I will come and strike the land with a curse. The word was means came to pass. As it was in the days of Noah so shall it be in the coming of man; or as it came to pass in the days of Noah so shall it come to pass with the coming of man.

2Chron 8:13 - according to the daily requirement for offerings commanded by Moses for Sabbaths, New Moons and the three annual feasts—the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks and the Feast of Tabernacles.

The word season mow'adah(2 Chron 8:13) - means appointment, fixed time, or season, an assembly (as convened for a definite purpose) technically the congregation, by extension, the place of meeting, also a signal (as appointed beforehand)

a feast - an assembling, dance or pilgrimage.calendar cycles - Heb. mo’adhim, "appointed assemblies" of the Lord; Day and night determined by the sun, the week determined by the phases of the moon, month based on the recurrence of the new moon. The year was divided into two seasons, seed time or winter, and harvest or summer.Although no connection to the Hebrew word here, Muzaloth was the eighth heaven of the translation of Enoch, and a place of changing of the Season. Similar to the Hebrew mazzaloth in 2 Kings 23:5, RSV, "constellations," as a reference to Mazzaroth.

For Days - means a space of time (an age) and years - means a whole age 70x7 Daniel

Leo - The Lion - His enemies destroyed (also known as Arcturus, the great bear seen in the sky at this very moment by the whole earth. you can see this at about 9:30 pm)
Orion - The foot that crushes (I John 3:8) Swiftly destroying or destroyed.

Psalm 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament his handiwork.
We, the saints, have been praying for the glory of God (The active participation of God with His people) the heavens coming to the earth, Jesus coming. The New Jerusalem. Rev 5:5-12 says the angels mix the prayers of the saints with the judgements. (Also of not Psalm 147:4, Isa 13:10, Isa 54:5-8, Rev 19:6-8)

Here is what the Lord says to me The Mazzaroth is the two coming Judgements of water (which has passed) and fire (which is to come)

The Judge cometh, the judge shall reign.

Jude 1:14-15: Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied these things...
The prophet Amos called it the day of the Lord.

Time is moving Linear not cyclic.

The new testament church says things still happen in cycles because of man's self-centered nature. They don't have to, men's choices make them happen. Men continually make bad choices because their nature is anti-God. So, in general, the christian view is that time indeed contains stressful, repeating cycles, as Solomon describes, yet the new testament calls these cycles evil. Gal 1: 4

God is definitely moving his family toward the return of Jesus Christ, the day of the Lord (the seven one -thousand-year day) and the establishment on earth of his family kingdom.

Isaiah 55:6 -This is Jesus Christ's concept of time management.
Faithful and True Rev 19:11-16

Practical Application?

Find your Bethel (Gen 35:15) Find the place where God will talk to you and hold on to him. Tell Him you are not leaving until he blesses you. Walk through your “dark night of the soul” Bethel means house of God. Learn who God is to you. Don't just call Him your savior and friend, experience him as your savior and friend. This will be an altar in your life from darkness to light.
Rev 12: 10-11 God is calling us who are broken to step into the light of his love and be transformed. We will become pillars called “overcomers” and we will know the one who is faithful and true.
Rev 3:11-13 We are in a type of spiritual boot camp right now where we are learning to overcome the world so that we can go into the world and not be overcome by it. We are facing places of darkness but we are gaining authority through great adversity, and we are being prepared as a a great army of overcomers...through the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimonies.

It is time for the Elijah's, the warriors to rise up. The Lord says, I will rise up for the sound of the warriors. Watch out for them for they shall come to you, says the Lord, only by your perception. Let not the enemy blind your eyes, for those who are in this house, you have tapped into a sound that will release joy, celebration, boldness, and scare the hell out of the forces of darkness that have tried to intimidate you.

And the Lord remembered!

America has been set aside once again to pioneer a sound to the nations of the world. He says I have prevented Saul from coming to power. Watch me and I will turn it around in one day!He says the cloud is already in position and the rain is falling. Not as this world. When we think what God is really says doesn't matter we are presuming to add or subtract to His word. Passing our tests depends upon our faith. If we only depend on our eyes (our senses) we are very limited.

I will give you some words from Chuck Pierce that confirmed this to me:

You have a hidden testimony that I am revealing to you in this season. The spirit is causing discontent with the things that have held us earthbound. The Laodiceans were offered eye salve so they could see. Spiritual Seeing and hearing are important. There are two trapeze's swinging in the air. we are on one. If we wish to experience what Jesus wants for us we must jump on the other one. We can't hold onto one and jump to the other one. We will have a period of time where we are in mid-air holding onto nothing. Keep going. Don't stop you are halfway there. evaluate within yourself and move again.
