zodiac are the dates that the Sun is
supposed to be in the relevant
constellation.

zodiac sign not to represent a living creature. Instead, Libra is depicted in the
heavens as “weighing scales” it is located on the celestial equator
constellations of Virgo and Scorpio.
• Libra takes up a 538 sq/deg area of the sky, with the constellation’s “scale” shape
formed by the stars Alpha and Beta Librae that form the “cross-beam”, and the
stars Gamma and Sigma Librae that represent the “weighing pans.”
• The sun is in this constellation between September 22 and October 23.

20. LIBRA REPRESENTS
GOD’S ETERNAL
JUSTICE OVER THE
CHURCH.

21. LIBRA
Four Symbols of Libra:

• Isaiah 40:12 12 Who has measured the waters in
the hollow of His hand, Measured heaven with a
span And calculated the dust of the earth in a
measure? Weighed the mountains in scales And
the hills in a balance?
• Daniel 5:27 27 TEKEL: You have been weighed in
the balances, and found wanting;
• The star Zuben al Genubi = The price is deficient.
Before coming to Christ we were found wanting.
• But now, because of Jesus you will not be found
wanting Colossians
2:9-10 9 For in Him dwells all the fullness of the
Godhead bodily; 10 and you are complete in Him,
who is the head of all principality and power.
• The star Zuben al Shemali = The price that covers.

won’t be found wanting.
• This constellation with these two stars represent
the story of sinners who have received God’s
redeeming grace.

23. CRUX, GOD’S PLAN
FOR THE CHURCH.
Representing Jesus sacrificial work on the
cross, making in this way that when we are
weighed we are found not wanting.
Four bright stars form the cross figure, the
whole symbol is called Adom, meaning “to
cut off”
Isaiah 53:8 8 He was taken from prison
and from judgment, And who will
declare His generation? For He was cut
off from the land of the living; For the
transgressions of My people He was
stricken.
Jesus was “cut off” from his people, they
refuse to recognized him as “the desired
of the nations” their Messiah. Instead they
made him “their victim.”

24. THE VICTIM
Representing Jesus the slain Lamb of God
who took away the sins of the world. It is by
the shedding of His blood that there is
remission for our sins (Hebrews 9:22)
Jesus became the slain Lamb, He carried
the curses of all our sins, that is why He was
hanged on a tree.
The Victim was called “Sura” by the
ancients, meaning “sheep” or “lamb” The
prophet Isaiah called Jesus as the “silent
lamb” Isaiah 53:7.
The victim looks as slain by the Centaur’s
spear, Slain by Himself!
John 10:17-18 17 “Therefore My Father
loves Me, because I lay down My life that I
may take it again. 18 No one takes it from
Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have
power to lay it down, and I have power to
take it again. This command I have
received from My Father.”

25. CROWN
• We can see the serpent, who represents Satan
heading towards the crown, trying to poses it,
but that belongs to our Saviour and King
Jesus Christ.
• Ephesians 1:20 20 which He worked in Christ
when He raised Him from the dead and
seated Him at His right hand in the
heavenly places,

Christ Jesus,

destruction, Who crowns you with
lovingkindness and tender mercies,
• Revelation 3:11 11 Behold, I am coming
quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one
