The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me because the LORD has annointed Me to preach good news to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the broken hearted; to proclaim freedom to the captives and the opening of the prisons to those who are captive; to proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD and the day of vengance of our God; to comfort all those who mourn; to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness!

The Kingdom of Heaven is like a net cast into the sea!


Pieces is our seventh sign in our story and it is the first one that does not directly point to our redeemer. This sign is of two fish represent the multitude who where bound by the enemy and are freed by the redeemer.

The ancient Egyptian Zodiac calls this sign Pisces Hori which means the fishes of Him that comes. The Hebrew name is Dagim which means the Fishes. The Syriac name of Nuno means the fish, lengthened out as in posterity. The fish point to a great multitude of fish as in Ezekiel 47:9 that is healed by the great waters from the throne of God.

Fish has been closely tied to the followers of Christ. Peter was told to follow Jesus and he would become a fisher of men. The first symbol of Christianity was a fish. Jesus even said, "The kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea and gathered of every kind; and when it was full they pulled it to the shore and gathered the good into the vessel and cast the bad away; so shall it be at the end of the age; the angels shall come forth and seperate the wicked from the just" (Matthew 13:47-49).

The famous Jewish commentator wrote that Pisces always refers to the people of Israel, the children of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And all believers are no sons of Abraham. The world is full of fish, all have been bound by the evil one until Christ came and set them free. This idea and concept is further explained by the companion constellations.
