Satan’s counterfeit, they reject the voice of God as it speaks through the heavens.

Psalms 19:1-4
The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.
Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there
words; Their voice is not heard. Their utterance has gone out through all the earth, and their words
to the end of the world.

Christians need to be discerning. Divination is not an all or nothing proposition. Accepting that
Yahweh speaks to mankind through the sun, moon, and stars does not necessitate that the individual
accept Satanic forms of astrology. The corollary to this truth is that rejecting the unlawful practice
of astrology does not necessitate that a Christian reject God’s voice in the heavens. The magi
embraced God’s voice in the heavens and they were informed of the birth of the Savior of mankind.
Yahweh spoke to these same wise men through a dream, warning them not to return to Herod, but to
go home another way.

Having God communicate through the stars, and through a dream, may seem atypical to many
Christians, but they are both common modes of communication that Yahweh regularly employs. The
Bible is filled with examples of God speaking through the stars, through dreams, through visions,
through signs and wonders, through angels, and through prophets. Those who would reject these
forms of divine communication do injury to themselves, and to those whose lives they influence.

Yahweh is a great communicator. The Son of God is called “the Word made flesh” (John 1:14). A
word is the basic unit of communication. Christ is the ultimate expression of God. He fully disclosed
the Father to mankind. Although Christ has now ascended to the Father, He continues to speak. He
has sent forth His Spirit to open the minds of men to understand the speech of God. This speech may
come through the reading of the Scriptures, but it may also come through other ways.

Hebrews 1:1-2
God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways,
in these last days has spoken to us in His Son...
