Pisces Infinity is a fictional term that comes from the zodiac sign called Pisces. The term zodiac comes from the Greek word Zodiakos, meaning "circle of animals," or "zoo." The zodiac is an imaginary sectioning of the night sky into 12 parts, and it has for centuries been used as a means of measuring time and seasons, charting the passing of the sun's ellipse and even fortune telling. In every culture, whether Latin, Greek, Ch9inese or Babylonian, the zodiac is sectioned into twelve parts and each part has a dominating figure or personna, and each is often connecte d to a major constellation of stars that the personna represents. The twelth sing on the zodiac is the two fishes, swimming in oppoiste directions, and the constellation of two fish on two lines connected by a knotted cord is also called Pisces.
The practice of tracking the stars, sun and moons, looking for signs in the heavens, (whether you call it astronomy(natual science) or astrology, (occultic science) is traced far back into the history of many cultures. Each culture has it’s own wise men, watching, counting, calculating, and theoretically exploring the heavenly skies, looking for answers in the stars, looking at the stars and raising questions. He has been doing so since the begining of time when God put him out of the Eden.
In the beginning, when God put the stars in place, he declared them to be for signs to mark the seasons, days, and years; (Genesis 1:14-18) he ordained the lights of night and day to give us light. The sun for photosynthesis and sustainance of life on earth and (Genesis 1:15, 17) the greater light and the lesser light to rule the night and the two of them to "separate day from night." The stars above serve to provide consistent markers, and declare his glory, (Psalm 19:1-6.) They reveal His eternal and mysterious attributes to all mankind mankind, and seeing this and understanding it, all would have an opportunity to consider and even to call upon Him, in truth [Romans 1:20; 10:18] as they cannot deny, that indeed, there is a God.
Even though many has for centuries seen the night sky looked at the stars, and studied them, he sometimes has his own way of interpreting what they are and what they mean. He has even given the the planets and the constellations, human-like qualities and personages as if they were the gods and goddesses themselves, even treated them as such to the point that he would believe these intimate objects, as humans interpret their "signs" and their planetary personalities rule and influence human lives, and they even believe this, instead of God.
Pisces, they say... in astrological terms, is “ruled” by the planet Neptune, which is the eighth planet from the sun. Neptune, a wise aged male from the deep and mysterious, dreamy, mystical undersea world, also known as Poseidon the Greek sea god, is the god of water. It is he who controlled all the lakes and rivers upon the earth from his heavenly abode. and he appears to mortal beings in mythology, as one with a trident (a three-prong fishing spear) in his hand. Pisces, in the zodiac is the twelfth sign, a water sign ruled by Neptune and as such represents is considered chaotic and confusing... indecisive prone to change, like the ocean tide.
Astrologists, those who study the zodiac, planets, sun and moon for divining the future, claim the Piscean age began with the birth of Jesus Christ. In fact astrologists like to impress upon people how astrology is congruent with Christianity. You see, we are living now in the Piscean age, a time of great chaos and the need for decision. Besides, throughout the New Testament there are stories related to “fish.”
Jesus lived by the Mediterranean sea, he walked on water, was baptized in the Jordan, he talked about making His disciples, fishers of men. The apostles were mostly fishermen by trade, and Jesus was known to have fed a hungry crowd with five loaves of bread and two fishes. No doubt, there must be something "fishy" going on. Not only that, but the use of a “fish” has been a symbol of Christianity over the centuries. It was particularly common during the Middle Ages.
The use of a fish as a symbol of the Christian faith occurred partially because the New Testament was written in Greek and curiously enough the word for “fish” is spelled with the Greek letters Iota Chi Theta Upsilon Sigma, (a.k.a, ΙΧΘΥΣ.) These letters became symbolic of the acrostic "Iesous Christos Theou Uios, Soter", which translated into English is "Jesus Christ God's Son, Savior." so, whether or not the astrologists notion that the Piscean age and the God of the Trident have anything to do with the fish aspect of Christianity remains controversial. It all depends on your decision as to who Jesus Christ, the most central figure o human history is, or isn't.
As cultures of people scattered across the earth from the beginning, the Bible tells us that they lived their lives groping about in spiritual darkness. (Duet 28:29; Job 12:25; Acts 17:27) Those who retained the knowledge of God were the children of promise, but fallen man, with no remorse centered their spiritual life on only what they could see and feel. God called Abraham out of such a world, and to Moses He gave His law. God gave the prophets too, and after David, and Solomon, Jesus Christ His Son was born.
After Jesus was crucified, and raised from the dead, Paul the apostle, (and others) traveled to the pagan lands and preached Jesus Christ, not only as King of the Jews, but also as a light in the dark. (Luke 2:32) Wherever they preached many people chose Christ, and left the ways of pagan life behind. We did not see Paul or the other apostles teaching that one could use Christianity to validate astrological practices or false theology, but we do see a resurgence of pagan beliefs and religions and people looking not to God's word for answers to the future, but to the stars.
The Picean age won;t last forever. Astrologically, a new age is upon us, the New Age is the Age of Aquarius, the Water Bearer.
The age of Aquarious, according to astrological beliefs, is to be a much brighter era than indecisive Pisces ever was or ever could be. The age is ruled by the planet Uranus. (You may pronounce that one any way you like.)
Uranus is the God of the sky and the progenitor of all the other gods. Notably though, the planet Uranus itself was not discovered as a “planet” (or wandering star) until the technological advance of telescope in 1690. Uranus, as we call it, was discovered by William Herschel who named it the Georgian Star, after King George, which it was called until 1850. It was renamed Ouranos, (meaning Father Sky) by Johann Elert Bode. Ouranos, in mythology, according to the Mythology of Saturn, was "the first father figure, " but in mythology, Saturn castrated Ouranos, so... so-much for being "dad."
The Aquarian Age is described by astrologers as a time of “knowing” (not being indecisive or confused, not even mystical...) and a time of “service” to the whole of humanity. Astologers and New agers hold out these ideas in terms of serving the world (not serving the Lord) and of humanity evolving spiritually into the next mutation of higher intelligence, (not biblical creation.)
In fact, in the Aquarian Age, astrologers tell their listeners, man made laws and technology will replace old religious dogma... and science will dominate and enhance human life in ways to wonderful for us to understand in our present condition. The French astrologer, Benedict Elie, put it this way, (regarding the Age of Pisces and the Age of Aquarius,) "These two ages invite us to broaden our soul by showing love to our fellow human beings and taking the available scientifics and technological means to improve our well-being and comfort. Therefore, man will fully realize his role on earth by establishing himself as the King of Creation, by fulfilling himself, by being in control of himself and nature." Gone is the religious dogma, man, just as the serpent of Eden offered, is evolved complete and has become what he always dreamed he could be if he simply put his mind to it, "God."
Pisces ends, Aquarius begins. In the astrology charts, the sign for Aquarius is an “air” sign, and not a water sign like Pisces. It is represented as a man pouring out water from a jar. In contrast, God's well, runs deep and the water is pure, Jesus Christ is living water.
Historically the “Jesus believing” churches have always rejected astrology. They believe that God’s infallible Word was spoken through the prophets and written down, fulfilled in Jesus Christ and as God’s word to mankind, it took and takes precedence over all man-invented interpretations, guesses, suppositions, superstitions and they rejected magical arts, which were and are still to be considered "occult." Christians believe whole heartedly that faith in God, faith in God’s promise was the key to a right life and a right relationship with God, they do not trust in nor are they to practice astrology, channeling, consulting the dead or any form of occult spiritualism.
The age of Pisces, the Age of Aquarius... it's all about water... and Jesus DID tell his disciples that he would make them “fishers of men.” Perhaps it is because without turth men are like fish floundering in an infinite sea, tossed about in every direction by waves of wisdom, pushed about by currents driven by every wind of religious doctrine. How interesting that Jesus called men who knew the sea well, to learn of him and then sent them out to cast nets of truth into the swirling waves of humanity calling them to repentance so as to be saved. No wonder, Jesus is the solid rock that men can stand on, no longer tossed about by the tumultuous sea.
The world in this story cries “Pisces Infinity,” seeking to unite the world as one nation via the God of their own making, (or if they are godless, they can have no God at all,) God already chooses us. He cast the net out, he did not leave us nor forsake us even now. It would seem we are the ones who can choose to submit our hearts to God, or not.
The Piscean age is nothing new. Even Cain when he hated his brother, even he had to decide who he would serve, who would be his master. Men and women have always lived in the age of decision.
There is no such thing as Pisces Infinity, the time of decision will not be eternal. It will not last forever. The Lord has shown us what he requires of us, he had laid down his own life, offered us forgiveness. The Lord is also, not slack as come count slackness, but He is long suffering toward us, yet, it is clearly "we," not he will make the ultimate decision. We can believe God by faith or reject him.
Even Joshua who lived long before Jesus Christ noted, “If it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve...but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." (Joshua 24:15)
