THE SIX IN LINE FOR THE GRAND DESIGN

Yes, six planets will be visible in the January 2025 night sky. And yes, they will be in a line.

But because planets always appear in a line from our Earth-bound vantage, the alignment isn’t anything out of the normal.

If you’re on social media, by now you might have seen the many announcements of a planetary alignment on January 25, 2025.

A bustle of videos and memes is claiming that all eight planets will be in a line on one side of the sun and visible in our nighttime sky.

Is it true? Nope.

Why January 25? We have no idea. But there have been – and still are – six planets in our evening sky throughout January.

And yes, they’re in a line view … like always.

And also there won’t be a planetary alignment with everything neatly stacked on one side of the sun. But there will be lots of planets for observing in the nighttime sky!

Not just on January 25 but throughout January and early February.

What’s less common, according to astronomers, is seeing so many bright planets at once.

But just a bit of foundations first.

The Ecliptic Path

The Sun (from the Latin word sol) is the focal point of our solar system, and all the planets revolve around it in the same direction and basically on the same linear plane, supporting the theory of a divine Creator.

This line, or linear path, that is “drawn” by the Sun is known as the ecliptic or ecliptic path.

The 12 major constellations that the Sun continuously travels through on the ecliptic are collectively known as the Zodiac, or Mazzaroth.

The Bible refers to this solar path in Psalm 19:4.

Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun.

The word “line” in Psalm 19:4 is the Hebrew word qav (Strong’s #6957).

Job 38:5 references it in the context of measuring, making it an orienting point in the sky.

It essentially means “a measuring line.”

From our earthly vantage point, the Sun inscribes, intersects, and eclipses within its circular path all of our planets, the Moon, and the 12 major constellations.

From the Christological point of view—beginning at Virgo (the promised seed), all the way through Leo (the king of beasts representing Messiah as King of kings)—the message is about the Coming One (the Redeemer, Messiah, and Christ).

The Christological understanding of the Constellations in the Mazzaroth.

The following list of the 12 major constellations shows the basic interpretation of each one as it relates to our Messiah, Jesus.

1. Virgo—the promised seed

2. Libra—the price to be paid

3. Scorpio—the wounded

4. Sagittarius—He is coming again someday

5. Capricorn—the sacrificed Redeemer raised on high

6. Aquarius—He poured out on us the Holy Spirit

7. Pisces—His blessings for both Jew and Gentile

8. Aries—His reign over the devil

9. Taurus—He is the One coming with rage

10. Gemini—He is coming to claim His bride

11. Cancer—He is coming to give His bride the kingdom

12. Leo—the representation of the coming King of kings

Major Constellations and the Order of the Decans

According to Christological interpretation, the circle (the Mazzaroth) begins at Virgo and ends at Leo.

Nevertheless, we are dealing with Christological interpretations, not astrological ones, and therefore we know that the beginning of the story line of Messiah is Virgo, representing His birth, and ending at Leo, representing His coming as King in final glory.

NOTE:

Each Constellation contains three Decans or Amplifiers. The decans and their order are Christologically laid out in E. W. Bullinger’s Companion Bible, Appendix 12,

(For your convenience and personal study, this appendix can be accessed at http://www.lmci.org/CompanionBible—Appendix12-PDF.pdf.)

The Mazzaroth’s story line can be divided into the following thirds:

  • Messiah’s first coming—Virgo through Sagittarius;
  • The blessings Messiah avails—Capricorn through Aries; and
  • Messiah’s second coming—Taurus through Leo.

These three divisions will aid us in understanding the overall meaning and interpretation of specific decans.

The Christology of the Sun, Moon, and Planets

The interpretations of the decans are derived from their major star names and from the location of the Sun, Moon, and planets within their major constellations. For this reason, we must understand the Christology of these celestial bodies.

• The Sun is the dominant image of Messiah. Out of this listing of 11 celestial bodies, it is the only one that has light of itself, while the remaining ones reflect it. As the Sun moves through each decan’s allotted location on the ecliptic, it adds more depth and insight to the meaning of the corresponding major constellation.

• The Moon shows the highest level of the manifestation of the Messiah, but the need of discipleship and faithfulness is included within its interpretation. The messianic attribute it speaks to us as individuals is where we can be our best if we consistently walk in it.

• Mercury, the first planet in order from the Sun, carries the message of Messiah to be preached and lived.

• Venus, the second planet, discloses the pure passion and love of Messiah to be portrayed. The number 2 according to scriptural numerics means “establishment.” Since Venus is the bright and morning star, its particular decan location emphasizes where a person can be bright and glorious.

• Earth, the third planet, indicates the completeness of a person and should be read 180 degrees across from the Sun, which would be heliocentrically instead of geocentrically as the rest of the celestial bodies are read.

• Mars, the fourth planet, is the red planet of redemption, fervour, and warfare. Mars’ location in a specific decan will indicate what someone will fight for.

• Ceres, or Rahab as the Bible calls it, is the fifth planet. This small planetoid represents the placement of Rahab in the foundation of the world and cosmos. Therefore, according to God’s foreknowledge, it holds a fantastic revelation of where the individual needs more grace (the number 5 in scriptural numerics means “grace”) and where they need to be broken, which is the Hebrew meaning of Rahab.

• Jupiter, the sixth and largest planet, indicates the messianic trait that can be the strongest. It can also provide insight into the particular leadership role the individual has the potential for.

• Saturn, the seventh planet, is the destiny planet. According to Psalm 90:10, the fullness of life is at 70, displaying one’s contributions in all their messianic traits and abilities. It is interesting that Hinduism attributes to this planet the possible curse that is on someone, when it actually is the destiny planet.

• Uranus, the eighth planet (not visible without magnification), shows the necessary requirements to receive rewards in the Messiah’s coming earthly kingdom.

• Neptune, the ninth and final planet, indicates the message of finality and judgment according to scriptural numerics. This shows God’s judgment of someone’s accomplished messianic strivings. Since Neptune moves so slowly, the location of its decans is quite important.

So, in closing, let me describe which planets will be in which Constellation as they fall in line during this time.

JUPITER: Will be in Taurus. Jupiter mean ‘Tsedeq’ or righteousness in Hebrew. This planet, the biggest, represents the Messiah and His rulership. And Taurus is the raging bull in the heavens, coming with His rage to clear the way and make way for the Kingdom to come.

MARS: Mars is seen in Gemini. The Twins of Heaven. Treading the enemy underfoot and beginning a warfare. Mars is a red planet. Angry and is a representation of warring for the Kingdom

SATURN: Saturn is called ‘Shabbatim’ in Hebrew. With the many rings, this planet shows the blessings of the Holy Spirit and His covenants. It represents destiny for every believer in Christ. Saturn is in Aquarius.

This is the ‘Waterman’ who pours our living water from his belly into the waiting celestial fish, Pisces Australis. Jesus talked about this in the Temple on the last and greatest day of the Feast when He cried with a loud voice and said, that if any man is thirsty let him come to Jesus and out this man’s belly will flow rivers of living water. Here Jesus was quoting the celestial Word.

NEPTUNE: Alarmingly is so small and needs a lot of magnification to be seen but is in Pisces. Neptune carries the message of finality, and the fishes represent both the Jew and the Gentile believers.

MOON: the Moon is hanging around Libra. This speaks of the Atoning work of the Messiah in our lives and calls for a clarion call to discipleship in these last days.

SUN: Lies in Capricorn. This is so key because this speaks of the Messiah’s resurrection power. His rising up in every situation in the things that are happening worldwide today.

VENUS: Venus is in the constellation Aquarius again. Venus always represents the passion of Jesus for the lost and His love for the Church. Venus also determines the Messiah comes quickly as it lay in the midst of Aquarius.

MERCURY: Mercury lies in Sagittarius at this time. Sagittarius if the two-natured Conqueror going forth, the Messiah. The four principal stars in this constellation, tells us of the Gracious One, whose dart (arrow) goes forth as He rides as a bowman. (Al-Naim, Al-Shaula, Al-Warida and Ruchba er rami.) this tells me Jeus comes in Triumph, conquering the enemy and putting him aside. What a day we live in!

URANUS: If you notice the placement of Uranus, it lies in Taurus. This is the reward of the Messiah, who comes to reward the faithful. The Messiah breaks forth as Light upon a dark world and we remember the prophecies of the prophet Isaiah at this time when he said, Arise and shine for you Light has come!

So let us put all this together as we come to a conclusion of this great sign in the heavens at this time in 2025. This will stay all through February signifying that we take notice.

So here goes…

God is angry!

And He is coming with a vengeance! Real vengeance that only heaven can bring. A kind of “don’t mess with Me man” brashness.

This is an amazing promise from Genesis given to Abraham in Gen 12:3…And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse (arar) him that curseth (qalal) thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

God will bitterly curse those who have treated Israel with contempt and triviality. And also, those who have taken the Church for granted and misused her in every sort of way.

Biblically speaking, divine wrath is the right and righteous response of God to sin. Holiness and accurate living are God’s standards, and the Lord has come to set this up in every area of our lives.

There is a warfare in Heaven. And intense battle that will continue till Jesus comes. And Jesus is coming quickly.

But before this is a ‘great revival’ coming on the earth. The passions of God and His love for no one to be lost is immense.

This is the time for equipping, training, and setting up true leaders within the Church worldwide. God’s jealousy for His Bride is immeasurable.

Turn your life around. Things are changing rapidly. Get into a true sync with God. Take a stand for the Word. Leave the world behind.

This is Kingdom time. The King is coming for His people!
