1 2014: WEEKLY SABBATH FEBRUARY 21, 2014: SATURN CONJUNCTS THE MOON IN MEOZNAIM. Isaiah 55:3: Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you... PLAYERS IN THIS EVENT: Weekly Sabbath, Saturn, Moon, Meoznaim, Adom, Lupus, and Corna Borealis SABBATH: Weekly Day of Rest and Worship. Exodus 20:8-11: Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. This one day of the week is a very special time. These texts tell us that first, we are to remember this weekly appointment with our Creator. We are then given instruction of what is not to be done on this day, and finally what we are supposed to do on this day. Basically, we are not to work, or anyone who lives in our home, or is visiting us, or works for us, and we are not to put to work any of our animals. Everyone is to rest on this special day. Next we are told what we are to do. The text says that the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it. To understand exactly what we are to do on this day, we must understand the meaning of a couple of words, they are: BLESSED: Strong s Number 1288: to kneel; by implication to bless God (as an act of adoration), and (vice-versa) man. HALLOWED: Strong s Number 6942: to be (causatively make, pronounce or observe as) clean (ceremonially or morally) The word blessed means we are to kneel before our Heavenly Father in an act of adoration, and He too will adore us. The word hallowed means to be made or pronounced clean. This clean day (the only one of the seven) is to be observed or kept. This list of what we are to do on this day is quite simple, we are to kneel before our Creator God and worship Him in adoration as this day has been made clean by Him. We mustn t forget that we are not to work on this day. If we are working, then it is impossible to worship our Heavenly Father in the manner that He has shown us. Instead of working on the Seventh Day Sabbath like we do all week long, we are to take a well needed break and come to our Heavenly King humbly kneeling before Him in love and adoration on the only day He made clean, and He too will love and adore us in return.

2 SATURN: Satan. Also known as: The Devil, the Dragon, the Serpent and the Accuser of our brethren. The Scriptures tell us he can: kill people, appear as an angel of light, can enter into people, he can work all power, signs and lying wonders. He can appear as lightening, and Satan has a church-the Synagogue (assembly) of Satan. He strives against the work of the Most High and he is also rebuked by Yehovah. Great and marvelous is the part which this arch-enemy has played in the history of our race, is still playing, and will yet play before the end is reached. Like a dark and chilling shadow he came up upon the new born world, insinuated his slime into the garden of human innocence, deceived and disinherited the race at its very spring, and so spun his webs around the souls of the earlier generations as to drag almost the entire population of the earth to one common ruin. Hardly had that great calamity passed when he began again with new schemes to get men in his power and sway them to his will. Before the Flood he won them through their carnal passions. Now he set himself to taint their holy worship, perverting it into idolatries which have held and debased the great body of mankind for these forty centuries, and still holds a great portion of the world in darkness and in death. Then he plied them with visions of empire and dominion, and thus filled the earth and the ages with murderous tyrannies, misrule, oppressions, wars, and political abominations. Then he began to corrupt the thinking and philosophies of men, thereby making them willing slaves to damning error. And even today he is the very god of this world, to whose lies the vast majority of the race render homage, whose rule is in living sway over at least two thirds of the population of the earth, which is full of misery from his power. (The Gospel in the Stars by Joseph A. Seiss) CONJUNCTION: is used generally to mean a configuration in which two heavenly bodies have their least separation. MOON: Messianic Hope. The Moon is our Ancient Prophet. It continues to plead with us... Turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment, and wait on thy God continually. O Israel, return unto the Lord thy God; for thou has fallen by thine iniquity...say unto Him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously. The transgressors (Israel) were given many opportunities to repent. In their hour of deepest apostasy and greatest need, God s message to them was one of forgiveness and hope. O Israel, he declared, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in Me is thine help. I will be thy King: where is any other that may save thee? Come, and let us return unto the Lord, the prophet entreated... (Prophets and Kings Page ) Although the Moon tells us to have hope in our Messiah and all of the meanings in Strong s Concordance tell us that the moon is all about rebuilding, or renewing our relationship with our Creator I have also been shown that there is yet another meaning and a story in the meaning of the moon. After studying the word Moon in the Bible it was easy to see that the moon is to represent the people of the King of the Universe. The Bible texts that tell about the moon, when put together, also tell the story of the meaning of the moon. The very first text in the Bible with moon in it is Genesis 37:9. This text reveals that the moon can represent people since the sun and moon do not actually bow down, only people do. Next we learn that Yah s people are to reflect the light that they learn in the Torah Law and they are to walk in its brightness. Yah s people have been ordained to do ministerial functions and they will endure to the end of time. Yah s people are to be a faithful witness and they are to keep all the Appointments of the Feasts with their Creator

3 God. Yah s people are to rule in this dark world by their reflection of the Torah Law. They are to praise our Heavenly Father and they are beautiful in His sight. Yah s people are not to worship the heavenly bodies or their images. There are times when Yah s people do not reflect the light of the Torah Law, and this causes embarrassment or separation to our Father in Heaven. In the last days Yah s people will increase in brightness comparable to the Torah Law. One day in the future when we are all in Heaven, Yahshua will replace the brightness of His people. Yah s people are to watch for signs of the soon return of their Messiah, and finally I learned that just as the stars have varying degrees of brightness, Yah s people will have different ranks in their work for Him. When looking for an extended meaning of Moon, it is easy to see that the Moon is to represent the children of the Most High God. These people are to be faithful witnesses who reflect the light of the Torah Law and their Messiah in whom they have put their hope. MEOZNAIM: The Scales, weighing. Known today as Libra. Pictured is: A balancing scale with one scale up and the other down. There would seem to be little or nothing to arrest our attention or to illuminate our faith in a matter so ordinary and unpoetical as a pair of balances for weighing commodities. A more homely, secular, and every day figure would be hard to find, but a more expressive one, or one more profoundly significant of the weightiest truths that concern the hopes of man, would be still harder to select when considered in the relations in which we here find this figure. The arms of that tilting beam, with its attached bowls, reach out into eternities. The positions of the beam, which a feather s weight may change, indicate the fortunes of worlds, the destinies of ages, the estates of immortality...in the Persian sphere a man or woman lifts these scales in one hand, and grasps a lamb with the other, the lamb being the form of the ancient weight. Nor can we mistaken when we here read the divine determination of the wages of sin and the price of redemption...the figure of the Scales, or Balances is found in all the Eastern and most ancient Zodiacs, the down side invariably toward the deadly Scorpion...All this clearly settles, as near as many be, that this sign of the Zodiac has reference to some great divine adjudications and adjustments relating to defaults, defects, and accusations, involving penalties, princes, payments. And with these ideas applied to the continuation of the story of the Seed of the woman, the divine Son of the virgin, promised and appointed to lift up the fallen, recover from the Serpent s power, and bring men to the pasturages on the heavenly hillsides, we are at once brought face to face with eternal justice weighing the demerits and awards of sin on the one hand, and the price of redemption rendered and paid for it on the other...in the place of the woman and her Seed we have here a pair of balances suspended in the sky, in which is signalled to us the inexorable justice of the Almighty, in which the deficiency and condemnation on the part of man, and the all sufficiency of the ransom paid on the part of his Redeemer, are alike indicated. One of the scales is up, which says to universal man, Thou are weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. The name of the star which marks it records the verdict, The price deficient. But the other side is borne down, and with it the star named The price that covers. Other star meanings: Purchase, redemption, gain, the price deficient, the price which covers, heaped up high, the price of the conflict. (The Gospel in the Stars by Joseph A. Seiss) In the Scales we find a reminder of the justice of the Almighty. One of the scales is up. Its brightest star is named for the verdict, the price deficient. We are weighed and found deficient. But the other scale is born down with the star: The price that covers. What was the price? Meoznaim s Decons are: ADOM (CRUX): The Cross. Pictured is: Here we come upon a figure stationed in the darkest section of the heavens, in the very lowest part of the sphere, and outlined by the stars themselves so as to be readily recognized by every beholder, a figure of the shameful instrument on which the blessed Saviour died, even the Cross. Our latitude is too far to

4 the northward for this constellation to be visible to us, but it is clear, distinct, and specially noticeable to those dwelling near or south of the equator...this cross is described as standing perpendicular at the moment when it passes the meridian. Up to that moment it leans one way, and after that moment it begins to lean the other way... How often, says Hmboldt, have we heard our guides exclaim in the savannas of Venezuela or in the desert of Lima, Midnight is past; the cross begins to bend!...formerly this constellation was visible in our latitudes; but in the gradual shifting of the heavens it has long since sunk away to the southward. It was last seen in the horizon of Jerusalem about the time that Christ was crucified. It consists of four bright stars placed in the form of a cross, and is by far the most conspicuous star-group in the southern heavens. Standing directly in the path of the second Decan of Virgo, the double natured Seed of the woman, and connection with Libra and the price of redemption, it takes the same place in the celestial symbology which the Cross of Calvary holds in the Christian system. (The Gospel in the Stars by Joseph A. Seiss) LUPUS or VICTIMA: Wolf or Victim. Pictured is: Next in the series of these heavenly signs gives us a still fuller and clearer indication of the nature and payment of that price. Christ was not only crucified, but He was also dead and buried. Hence we have in the second Decan of Libra a slain victim, pierced and slain with a dart barbed in the form of the cross, pierced and slain by Centaur himself...the mysterious transaction was, that He sacrificed himself. Men in their wickedness killed Him, but it was He who gave himself into their hands to do it. Without this voluntariness and self command in the matter the great redeeming virtue of His sacrifice would be wanting. Hence He was particular to say as He went to the cross, I lay down my life for the sheep...no man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again (John 10:15-18). Hence He is preached as the great High Priest passed into the heavens, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, having appeared once in the end of the world to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself (Heb. 9:11, 26). This was partially prefigured by the Cross in Centaur s path, but more particularly in the Decan, which shows the death infliction by the barbed dart from His own hand...what this victim of Centaur is, is not very definitely determined. Many of our modern atlases give it as a wolf, but with no ancient authority for it...the Greeks and Latins were so much in doubt that they more commonly called it the animal, the victim, without describing it. Ulugh Beigh says it was anciently called Sura, a sheep or lamb...it plainly expresses slaying, sacrifice by death; and so would fall in with that saying of the Apocalypse, that Christ is the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world....but the Cross and Christ s death by the Cross mark the limit and farthest boundaries of the humiliation for human redemption. There was nothing lower than that in the history; and the first two Decans of Libra are the southernmost constellations but one in the ancient astronomy. From the moment that Jesus gave up the ghost the price was paid, the whole debt was discharged and everything gave token of change. The tide there reached its lowest ebb, and turned, thenceforward to flow in ever augmenting volume from glory to glory...a few days, and hell stood confounded before His majesty, and the doors of the grave gave way, and angels in white array stood around the spot to welcome His forthcoming in the powers of an endless life. (The Gospel in the Stars by Joseph A. Seiss) CORNA BOREALIS: The Crown. Pictured is: The third Decan of Libra is a Crown formed of stars and is called Corona Borealis, vertical over Jerusalem once in every revolution of the earth...this story of the crown is that of the great Redeemer, giving up,

5 and himself sacrificing His life for the objects of His love, raised from the dead in immortal glory, that at the name of Yahshua every knee should bow, and every tongue confess that He is Lord, to the glory of God the Father...Thus, then, the prophetic sign in the stars is fulfilled in the facts of the history. (The Gospel in the Stars by Joseph A. Seiss) MESSAGE OF MEOZNAIM: Man is weighed and found wanting but our Messiah paid the price to balance the scales of judgment. He would die on the cross in the midst of the Great week. He would take on our sinful natures and willingly take our place. He would forsake His heavenly crown of His own accord. (The Witness of the Stars by EW Bullinger) Putting the Weekly Sabbath Message all together: I would like to note that this is the very same message as January 25, This is a very important message this year, as this is the second time that Yahshua sends this invitation and warning. Since the star event is exactly the same as the previous event, without even one change, the message is then repeated, exactly the same. When a message is repeated like this, we are to pay special attention to the information given. There are hard times coming, and our Saviour wants His people under His banner of protection. The message begins by reminding us to keep the Sabbath Day holy, it then tells us that Satan and Spiritual Israel are at their closest point together and this happens in the Constellation that show s Yahshua s great sacrifice for mankind. Since Satan is coming to his closet point with Spiritual Israel, and since Satan holds no love for these people, it can only mean he wishes to bring them harm as he doesn t do anything unless it is in his best interest. I understand that the message today given by our Saviour is Him absolutely pleading with His people. Not only is He pleading with them, but He is warning them as well. I believe that the information given is directed towards Sabbath Keepers, or Spiritual Israel. The words I see in interpreting this message are: My People Israel, Continue to keep the Seventh Day Sabbath Holy. Remember to rest on this day, you must rest, your body needs to be replenished with good Spiritual Food that comes from My Word. Come to kneel before Me in adoration and I will love you in return. Don t forget to keep all of My Torah, My Instruction. It is designed for your good. If you keep My Commandments, I will bless you. Israel, some of you are staying close to me and spending time with Me every day. I love that! But Israel, there are some of you who are too busy to spend time with Me, or you just don t care enough about Me to want to read My Love Letter to you. I miss you! Come back to Me Israel, oh come back! You don t understand what is about to happen in this world, and the only way you can survive the coming attack against you is to stay close to Me. I alone can save you from Satan. He is coming for you Israel, in such a way as you won t expect him. He is wroth, and he knows he has only a short time left. He wants the world to worship him, and for this to happen, he must take you out of the picture. Please understand Israel, you truly won t survive the coming war under your own strength. Stand under My Banner, under My Wings, and I will shield you. Hold fast to the truth that you know.

6 Remember what I did for you Israel, I left Heaven and everything that I held dear to Me so I could save you. I took your place and offered Myself as a Sacrifice so you didn t have to. My death on the cross was the farthest limit I could go for you Israel to show my selfless love for you. You can have eternal life with Me in the Heavenly Kingdom, if only you will accept My offer of love. Come away from the things of this world that separate us. Let My Light shine upon you so the world will know that you are Mine. I love you Israel, please come back to Me...Come back! May Yehovah add His blessing to this message, and may only His words be heard. Sandy Linville logonatlinville@msn.com UP COMING MAZZARTOTH MESSAGE: April 14, 2014 FOR ARCHIVE MAZZAROTH MESSAGES GO TO:
