Signs of the Time

I am not nor have ever been a big end time prophecy guy, but something struck my attention this morning and got me thinking a little about the signs of the times. I saw a facebook post regarding the changing zodiak chart. People were responding to the addition of a new zodiak sign between the constellations Scorpio and Sagittarius. In essence this changes many people’s “sign”. “Hey baby…What’s your sign?……I don’t know”………Well any how I pulled up an article written about it and read this interesting piece.

“According to astrologial principles, the Sun travels from the constellation Scorpius and goes directly into the sign of Sagittarius, but due to the constant motion of the cosmos, the Sun enters, for a few days of the year, the star constellation ‘Ophiuchus’ before entering Sagittarius from Scorpius, thus creating astrologically the birth of a thirteenth sign of the Zodiac, which is named as Ophiuchus the Serpent Holder.
The constellation of Ophiuchus is the only sign of the Zodiac which is linked to a real man. This man lived in ancient Egypt around the 27th century BC, and his name was Imhotep. The attributes of Imhotep can also be found in the Biblical Hebrew man Joseph, son of Jacob.. Imhotep is credited with many accomplishments including the knowledge and use of medicine. It is said of Imhotep that he brought the art of healing to mankind.The symbol of a serpent, which is still widely used today to represent the medical profession, was used to represent Imhotep.”

The reason I don’t like end time prophecy is because although it is rooted in scripture so often much of it is conjecture and creative application. With that said let me do a little conjecture and creative application.

Could it be that we are leaving the age of Aquarius with all it’s excess and loose living and going into an age of Ophiuchus. An age where Christ’s church is rising up and becoming the generation that seeks him. Psalm 24:6 “This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him. Who seek Your face.”

Could it be that His church is rising up with healing in her hands. Could it be that we are entering an age where the church embraces like Joseph of old  that we hold the answer to the famines that plague our world. Physical famines that have resulted in hunger and starvation, could this be an age where the church rises up like never before with compassion and generosity. Spiritual and emotional famines leaving people empty and seeking…could it be that we are entering a season where the masses of people who call themselves followers of Christ will rise up with His message expressed fully in their words, actions, and priorities bringing hope to a starving world.

Like  I said earlier end time prophecy at times is a bit of conjecture, but this sign of the time peaked my curiosity. I just want to ask you one simple question. Could it be?
