One of my first exposures to the topic of biblical astronomy came through the writings of the late Dr. D. James Kennedy on the subject. He was among the very few clergy who was not turned of by the mere mention of the word “zodiac” and pursued the ‘rest of the story’ underlying this vast cosmic cinema. While many have now written on the general topic, very few have asked the question as to the whether the information encoded within these star-pictures viewed by the Magi and all nations might also have significance for our generation?
The Cipher grew out of two observations that would lead to a question. The observations being: (1) The Christian church has had a 2000-year “zero” batting average in dealing with understanding the general timing of the Second Advent, and (2) The only group that understood the timing of the advent in the last 2500 years were the Magi who, following a star, journeyed to Jerusalem in search of The Promise.
These observations led to the fundamental query: Is there something that we can learn from the cosmology of the Magi that might help contemporary Christians to better discern the season of Messiah’s Second Advent? Before its pagan corruption the Mazzaroth (zodiac) served as a story-calendar dealing with the redemptive journey of the Son of man (Messiah) and a chronometer (clock) relating to the timing that grand quest. The Cipher begins to address these two aspects of the biblical Mazzaroth.
