Are Planets in the Bible?
Are planets in the bible? Some people say that they are, but that’s not entirely true. Though earth plays an important role in the prophetic drama of God, no other planets are mentioned. Yet, the earth is a powerful symbol of God’s love and power. Here are some reasons why.
Saturn
The Bible contains many references to Saturn. The planet is often depicted as a star, and it is this star which is the representation of Saturn in ancient history. The Babylonians called Saturn the Star of Tammuz. The prophet Ezekiel also mentions the worship of Saturn and Tammuz in Ezekiel 8:14. In fact, he describes the evil abominations of Jerusalem, including the worship of these two heavenly bodies.
According to Jewish tradition, Saturn is associated with fear. Hence, when Saturn is in a bad position, Jews are advised to refrain from doing the things that they should be doing. In addition, they should avoid everyday matters on the Saturn day. In this way, they can strengthen their religious belief. Therefore, it is not surprising to find a reference to Saturn in the Bible.
The Bible mentions Saturn as a dark star in the heavens. This is a veiled reference to Satan. The dark planet is also the symbol of time, decay, destruction and death. In ancient history, the Greeks and Romans celebrated Saturn as the ruler of the Golden Age. Interestingly enough, Saturn also has a specific day in the Bible, Saturday.
Jupiter
Jupiter in the Bible appears as a god of the sky. Originally a Baal god, Jupiter was worshiped by the Roman legions as a war and weather god. He was depicted on bulls and was often seen holding double ax and thunderbolt. His other names include Jupiter Parthinus, Jupiter Poeninus, and Jupiter Dolichenus. His sanctuary was in the Alps.
The bible doesn’t specifically define the star, but it does state that they serve certain functions, such as seasons, signs, days, and years. Jupiter is a gas giant planet whose atmosphere is mostly composed of hydrogen and helium gases and is covered in thick clouds. This is why it is so difficult to observe the planet from earth. In Greek mythology, Jupiter is also known as Zeus.
Many ancient cultures have worshipped Jupiter. In ancient Rome, Jupiter was the god of sky and thunder and the top god in the pantheon. As such, it’s no surprise that he was regarded as the chief deity of the state religion.
Venus
The Bible depicts Venus as a female deity. The female deity can incite sensual pleasures through her spirit servants, such as the Sarabocres. These spirits are also called demons. These demons are named after different places in the Bible. Some of them appear as evil or good demons.
Venus has many names in the Bible. Some of them are related to her, including Ashtoreth. Ashtoreth, the goddess of Babylon, was associated with sacred prostitution. Venus, known as the queen of heaven, is also associated with Ashtoreth, the mother of harlots. Other names for Ashtoreth include the great whore of Babylon and the spirit of whoredoms.
Saturn’s influence on Rahab
The connection between Saturn and Rahab is not entirely clear. Some suggest that it is connected to the Jewish religion. Others say it is linked to the day of Saturn. The biblical story does not explain how these two planets are related. However, there is some consensus that the relationship is close. There is a connection between the two, as Saturn is a planet that is associated with Jews.
Saturn is the most distant planet visible to the naked eye, and it moves slowly across the sky. Historically, the planet has been associated with death, time, and old age. In ancient astrology, the planet is not fixed in eternal bliss with the stars and planets, but rather a vanishing pinprick, exiled from every world. The Roman poet Marcus Manilius’ Astronomicon is one of the earliest surviving descriptions of Saturn.
Saturn’s atmosphere is very similar to that of Jupiter. Its atmosphere contains bands of violent winds that break through the cloud layers. In 1994, the Hubble Space Telescope was able to observe one of these storms on Saturn. The storm is about twice the size of the Earth’s. It is shaped like a hexagon.
Neptune
Neptune is the Roman god of the sea. He was in charge of all the waters on earth and could summon storms whenever he was angry. He lived in a golden castle on the Mediterranean Sea. As a result, his father was very worried that one of his children would overthrow him. Therefore, he swallowed his sons, Ops and Aegean, when they were born.
Neptune’s mother, the sea nymph Salacia, was a god of the sea. She gave birth to three sons. The most well known of them was Triton. He was a sea god who had the power of seeing into the future. However, his son Benthesikyme is relatively unknown.
While the Bible states that Neptune was created on Day four, evolutionists say that Neptune was formed at a later date. Evolutionary scientists believe that the solar system was created from a large cloud of dust and gas that clumped together and formed planets. During this process, the outermost part of the solar system was cold enough that ice could condense, forming gas giants.
Revelation 7:1 assumes a flat earth
Many proponents of the flat earth theory point to Revelation 7:1, which tells us that four angels hold the four winds of the earth and stand on the four corners of the earth. While it’s possible to read Revelation 7:1 as referring to a flat earth, it’s not clear what the text means. The word “gonia” in this verse is actually a synonym for point and can mean a variety of things. It is important to note that these verses were interpreted literally by early churchmen, but that doesn’t mean that they represent the physical corners of the earth.
This verse has been used by flat earth supporters to explain that the earth is flat and that the tree can be seen from the whole earth. This theory, however, fails to explain the size of such a tree. In order to be visible from a flat earth, the tree would have to be thousands of feet high.
Isaiah 65:11 alludes to Jupiter
The phrase “gadda” in Isaiah 65:11 alludes to the planet Jupiter, which was a god of fortune in ancient Babylon and other eastern cultures. The word gad, which means fortune, was also used to refer to Baal, the god of fortune in Babylonia, and Stella Jovis, the goddess of good fortune in Arabia. While Isaiah did not specify what the word meant, many commentators believe that the word gad refers to Jupiter, the moon, or some other celestial body.
The Hebrews also made offerings to other celestial bodies. They set up a table, poured out drink offerings, and made sacrifices to a host of deities. Their idols numbered as many as their cities. And their altars were thicker than the furrows in the fields. Interestingly, some Hebrews took the names of the idols Gad and Meni as the proper names for their gods. The two gods are corresponding to Jupiter and Mercury.
While the language in 65:11 alludes to Jupiter, it does not make a clear distinction between the two aspects of the kingdom. It is important to note that the context of 65:17-25 describes the coming New Age and the Age of the Messiah, not Christ’s first or second advent.
Revelation 7:2 alludes to Venus
The Book of Revelation has a fascinating story to tell. This book portrays a God who rules history, protects his people, and punishes the wicked. The visions of the book portray God’s majesty, authority, and righteousness, and the central visions are meant to foreshadow the consummation of history. The smaller details in the visions flesh out the story.
Revelation also shows how the heavenly bodies are in a cosmic battle with the forces of darkness. This battle involves the forces of evil against the forces of good, and God is at war with them. This is not to diminish the responsibility of humans for their actions, but to place them in a cosmic context.
The heavenly body is a metaphor. In the book of Revelation, the four angels stand at the four corners of earth, while another angel rises from the sun. The angels then seal the servants of God on their foreheads. This is an allusion to the fact that God is about to send his servants into the known world.
