In this segment: Chadwick emphasizes that perfected love means loving one's enemies and criticizes Christian Zionism for its perceived idolatry and support of violence in the promised land. He connects the constellation Scorpio to the serpent's wounding of Messiah's heel in Genesis 3 and encourages listeners to take the authority Yeshua gives to tread on serpents and scorpions, as stated in Luke 10:18-20.
That's the true heart posture. Everybody can love who you love. You can love your family, love your friends. What good does that do you? Everybody can do that. Perfected love, true love, perfected love is how we love our enemies. That's how it is. So, I think that's really for both Jews and Christians what they need to get back to. Personally, supporting all this murder and all this stuff in the promised land that God is going to judge every one of them for is because there's too much innocent blood being spilled. So again, for me, when I look at Christianity, and not really Christianity, but Christian Zionism, and understand how off the mark they are from Matthew 1 all the way through all four gospels. Just go read them and go read Yeshua's heart posture, and then go look at the Christian Zionist. Go look at their heart posture. Their idolatry of, in my mind, the state of Israel. In my personal opinion, their idolatry of the Israeli government, in my personal opinion.
Because again, they're being a part of something that will never work. They're being a part of something that is basically an insult to the Jewish Messiah, that the Israeli government is going to conquer the promised land. That'll never happen. It just will not happen until the Jewish Messiah does that for them, not them only. So, we've got to understand that there's just, we've got to get back. My, it's just really crazy when you look at these things, at both the Jewish side and the Christian side, and you're like, where is everybody going with all this? And everybody's justifying all this murder and craziness and innocent blood being spilled all over the promised land. No way. Everybody needs to go back and reread what Jesus said about all this innocent blood being spilled, bloodshed being spilled, hating everybody that's not Christian or Jew or whatever. Go read what our Savior said about that.
And I think there's a lot of repentance that needs to be in place. Now, let's get to the constellation of the month. This is Scorpio. This is the constellation that's given for this particular month. And let's remember what it says about God's stars and all of these constellations. Genesis 1:14 says, "He made the stars also." So these are His stars. Psalm 19:1 says, "The heavens declare what? The glory of God, not man." And the firmament shows His handiwork, and not man's handiwork. Revelation 4:11 says, "You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things, and by Your will they exist and were created." By His will, they were created, and that's why they do exist. I always want to say that before we get into these things so people can understand what the scriptures say about it. Psalm 147:4 says, "He determines the number of stars; He calls them each by name." So again, I believe we can all agree that these are His stars, His constellations, and we have to understand what He is saying out of that from Him, and not how we can take it for us.
That would be pagan astrology, not biblical astronomy, if that makes sense. Scorpio is a large constellation located in the southern hemisphere near the center of the Milky Way galaxy. Three bright stars form the head of Scorpius, the celestial scorpion, while its tail curves way below it in the southern sky of summer. In the book of Revelation, we find the symbolism of the scorpion or serpent. It is written, "His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth." The Hebrew name *aqrab* means scorpion, but it also signifies conflict or war. The Arabic name is *al-'aqrab*, which means "wounding him that cometh." In the biblical text, we find the serpent is the one that wounds Messiah's heel. Therefore, we can link the scorpion to the serpent, as both mean to wound him that cometh. And you can find that in Genesis 3. Interestingly, the brightest star of Scorpio is Antares, meaning "the wounding." Certainly, the anointing of Scorpio, the serpent, parallels the first messianic prophecy of God's plan of salvation in the Garden of Eden.
It is written, "So the Lord God said to the serpent, 'Because you have done this, you are cursed more than all cattle and more than any and every beast of the field. On your belly you shall go, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life. And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.'" Therefore, in the constellation of Scorpio and its deans, we see the obvious picture of Messiah's struggle and battle with Satan as he tries to keep Yeshua from His crown. However, our Redeemer and Healer, King and Messiah, the Branch of Righteousness, has prevailed over the serpent by bruising His head. In the Holy Scriptures, we also see the conflict between man and the serpent and the scorpion. Revelation 12:9 says, "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him." Revelation 9:1-11 says, "Then the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fallen from heaven to earth, and to him was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit.
He opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and from the shaft rose smoke, the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke of the shaft. Then from the smoke locusts came forth on the earth, and they were given power, like the power of scorpions of the earth. They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any green thing or any tree, but only the people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. They were told not to kill them, but to torment them for five months, and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it stings a man. In those days people will seek death and will not find it. They will long to die, and death will flee from them. The locusts had the appearance of horses prepared for battle. On their heads were something like crowns of gold, and their faces were like human faces. They had hair like women's hair, and their teeth were like the teeth of lions.
They wore breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of many chariots with horses rushing into battle. They have tails like scorpions, and stings, and their power to inflict pain on people for five months. They have as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he is called Apollyon."
1 Corinthians 15:55-56 says, "O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting?" It should also be noted that the serpent is trying to seize the royal crown of Messiah and our crowns as well. It is imperative to understand the intentions of our adversary, as he walks about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. The Apostle Peter encourages us to resist him, standing steadfast in our faith, knowing that the grace of Yah will establish, strengthen, and settle us forevermore. In fact, we need to hold on to and cherish our faith, as Yah crowns us with His loving-kindness and tender mercies.
In the Gospel account of Luke, Messiah gives us the authority over serpents and scorpions. It is written, "And he said to them, 'I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, I give you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in the books of heaven.'" Amen. Amen. And amen. So, my friends, I want to say one thing on this right here, and hopefully this will help the people: take your authority. Take your authority, my friends. Take it this month and take it forever. Take your authority that He has given you. He says it right here in Luke 10:18-20. I won't get into "Satan falls like lightning from heaven." That's another understanding that we go through that I've gone through in videos.
