Genesis clearly defines what God created during the six days of active creation. The first knowledge which the bible sets our about the stars is to tell us what they are for, and also specify the fact that God Himself did create them:
"And God said, let there be lights in the firament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also"
Genesis 1:14-16
God created the stars, and then He proceeded to name and number every one of them! Psalms 147:4 says, "He tell the number of the stars; He call them all by their names." For what reason did God name the stars? YOu will be surprised that many of their names are significant in revealing the events of Jesus' birth, life, resurrection and return. The names of the stars are very important detail of God's truth in the heavens.
It is true that many people have seen "validity" in horoscopes, but that is only because Satan will mimic the truth whenever possible. Although many people dont accept astrology, at the same time, they will not totally reject it. You must realise that astrology is not from God; it is from the devil. Astrology is Satan's big lie which he used to keep men from understanding the way of salvation. At the cross, Christ has already triumphed over Satan,and He gives Christians the authority to live above every element in the spirit world. Dont be deceived into seeking answers from the stars. Instead, seek answers from the One who created them.
Job was a wise man who studied the stars, and historians report that the book fg Job is one of the oldest books of the bible. It is a tremendous book for its day, filled with vast amounts of knowledge about God. Where could Job have acquired his knowledge? How could he know so much about God? Job's revelation of God was not perceived through written material; and there were no prophets to tell him about God, either. But the book of Job has more to say about the stars than any other book of the bible. God must have unfold His truths to Job with the heavens!
Amazingly, Job even knew about the Messiah who God would send thousands of year later; he said, "I know that my Redeemer lives." (Job 19:25) Job never worshipped the stars or tried to predict his future through studying them. Instead, he let them lead him to Jesus.
The word "zodiac" is taken from the Greek word "zoad". It means "a ladder" or "steps". And the great story in the stars is a ladder which leads men to the knowledge of their Saviour.
