EP: 427 The Zodiac and the Gospel with Troy Brewer

Troy Brewer has been fascinated with the heavens since he was a kid in a Fort Worth planetarium. In this return to the basement, the Texas pastor lays out the case that the entire story of redemption is written in the constellations and has been since the beginning. Not astrology. Not the New Age. The original language of the heavens before Babylon hijacked it and renamed the stars. Troy walks through how the names of the stars in Orion's belt correspond to Isaiah 53, how Virgo carries a messianic prophecy in her belly, how Scorpio and Orion wage a nightly war between death and resurrection, and how Moses set up the tabernacle to mirror the twelve constellations with tribal standards that bore the signs.The conversation moves through all twelve signs of the zodiac, starting with Virgo and ending with Leo. Troy maps the seed war, the virgin birth, the scales of redemption, the defeat of death, the pouring out of the Holy Spirit, the covenant between Jew and Gentile, and the triumphant return of the Lion of Judah. He also gets into how fallen entities changed the names and timing of the stars to keep people out of sync with God's prophetic clock. This is a wildly fun Christ-centered deep dive into what Psalm 19 means when it says the heavens declare the glory of God. - Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
