"88, Casiopia and Queen Vashti of the story of Esther"Notice there are 88 constellations – a reference to Jesus?
Also, since the “Kraken” story came out today (see other post), I did take a look at Cassiopeia. She is said to be the vain Queen. A reference to Queen Vashti of the story of Esther?

Hi:Wikipedia says, "Cassiopeia...is a northern constellation which Greek mythology considered to represent a vain queen."In God's Gospel in the Stars, Cassiopeia is the wife of the great king Cepheus, which stands for Christ. Therefore, Cassiopeia represents the Bride of Christ after the Marriage of the Lamb has taken place.Ursa Major and Ursa Minor were in ancient times called the Greater and Lesser Sheepfolds. We are the sheep of the Good Shepherd's pasture. The entire Bride of Christ is among the sheepfolds at the present time. Those that will be caught up in the Pre-Trib Rapture are in the Lesser Sheepfold. The 144,000 Israelites that will be added to the Bride of Christ at the Pre-Wrath Rapture are in the Greater Sheepfold. Along with the 144,000 are a great multitude that no one can count (Rev. 7:9).Notice that King Cepheus is holding aloft a fistful of fabric strips. This means that Cepheus is a religious figure, a man of the cloth.We see the same symbolism in Rev. 6:2. It says of the Beast of Rev. 13:2-10, "behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow (toxon, simple fabric, i.e., he is a religious leader, a man of the cloth); and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. " This symbol is one reason why I think this man will be the Tribulation Pope.Of course, I also think that the False Prophet will be a man of the cloth. Mt 7:15-21 says, "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing (enduma, apparel, especially the outer robe), but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he th! at doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."
Just watch for the fruit, keeping in mind that there should be no joining together of all world religions. What "concord hath Christ with belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?" (II Co 6:15).
Isa 9:15 says, "The ancient and honourable, he is the head (i.e., the 6th head of the great red dragon, the Beast of Rev. 13:2-10); and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail" (also the 7th head and the one who will be Satan possessed).
On Five Doves today, is an interesting article.

"Daniel's 70th week starts in January, 2007?"http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/dec2006/janghs1223.htm
Herb Peters said, "In December of 1998, at their Vienna summit, the EU's heads created the Office of High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy for the European Union. The holder of this new Office would be empowered by the many EU member states to direct their common foreign and security policy toward the Russian Federation, the Ukraine, the Balkans and -- biblically significant -- the Mediterranean. The funny thing is, out of over 1150 documents that were generated by the summit, the document that created the post of High Representative was number 666. "
That could be a clue. Will the False Prophet, the 666 of Rev. 13:18, hold the title of "High Representative" among his other titles?
> > Cassiopeia. She is said to be the vain Queen. A reference to Queen Vashti of the story of Esther?
Cassiopeia doesn't represent the banished Queen Vashti, but represents Esther, the one who became Queen instead of Vashti. The story of Esther is interesting. Esther 2:16 says, "So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus (meaning the lion king) into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign." It raises the question, will the Bride of Christ be taken into His house royal in Heaven in Tebeth? Hannukah is over. Tebeth/Teveth has already started. It runs from Dec. 22, 2006, through Jan. 19, 2007. We will have to keep watching, and just wait patiently and see.
Agape,
