Isaiah 4:2
               In that day the Branch of Yahweh will be beautiful and glorious...


               I  am  no  scholar  of  Arabic  languages,  but  it  seems  striking  that  the  name  Zavijaveh  bears  a
               resemblance to the Hebrew name Yahweh. In numerous languages the letter j makes the sound of the
               letter y, and some today write the sacred name of God as Yahveh.


               In the Denderah Planisphere, Virgo is depicted as holding a palm branch. This once more provides
               a striking symbol of the virgin who gives birth to “The Branch.” It was similar palm branches that
               were laid before the feet of the donkey as Yahshua rode into Jerusalem while the people shouted,
               “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!”


               Tim Warner, in his book Mystery of the Mazzaroth writes the following of the constellation Virgo.

               The  earliest  (Sumerian)  name,  found  in  the  MUL.APIN  tablet  was  “AB.SIN,”  meaning  “seed
               furrow.”


               It is remarkable that as far back as one traces this constellation it communicates the same message
               of a “Seed” who comes forth from a virgin.


               The three decans associated with Virgo are Coma (The Desired), Centaurus (The Centaur), and
               Bootes (The Coming One). Although I will not give a full explanation of the decans, I believe it is
               worthy to point out the remarkable testimony found in Coma. Coma is depicted as a woman seated
               with a child standing on her lap.  The Hebrew word for this constellation is identical to the word
               translated as “The Desired” in the following prophetic Scripture.

               Haggai 2:7
               And I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations...
               (NKJV)

               Albumazar, a Persian astrologer, astronomer, and philosopher who lived from 787 A.D. - 876 A.D.,
               whose star lore was very helpful to Frances Rolleston and others who have studied this subject, wrote
               the following regarding the constellation Coma. Keep in mind, Albumazar was not a Christian.


               There arises in the first Decan, as the Persians, Chaldeans, and Egyptians, and the two Hermes and
               Ascalius, teach, a young woman, whose Persian name denotes a pure virgin, sitting on a throne,
               nourishing an infant boy having a Hebrew name, by some nations called Ihesu, with the signification
               of Ieza, which in Greek is called Christ.
