ASTROLOGERS, WHO WERE THEY?

Astrologers (As-Trol'o-gers), the word has the root meaning "to divide," to point to those entities or forces that divided the heavens into configurations in order to control the supernatural powers, have insight, and achieve great wisdom over those subjected to them.
The word "g'zar" occurs only in that part of the Book of Daniel written in Aramaic, in which the use of the word is understood as a division, to point out to those entities, having authority and power over their controlled region.
The astrologers were the ones who had the insight, wisdom and knowledge to understand the language of these entities and, by observation from the position of the stars at the hour of birth, determined the fate of the soul of each individual, influencing the way in which the perception of things were done in each human being, therefore determining the person's character and attitudes towards himself and the  World around him, forming its own universe of rules in the physical realm that served as a mirror of its own and personal spiritual path.
Israel, in its spiritual stage, being under the direct guidance of God and through their position as the chosen ones to act as the priests of His kingdom based on free will and sincere hearts to choose God as their spiritual King and Father, were and still are able to annul the influence of these forces or entities trying to overcome their divine power and making them slaves of them.
Pharaoh, was informed by his astrologers that the person who would redeem the spiritual Israelites from slavery, would succumb to Water. Then, he, believing that he can control it, ordered that all the Israelite children be cast into the Nile.
However, the downfall of Moses, predicted by the Pharaoh's astrologers, came about when he struck the Rock to bring forth Water in the desert, instead of speaking to it.
Israel, the name given to Jacob after he wrestled with the Angel of God (Gen. 32), means "he who has struggled with the Word of God." The understanding of this meaning give us the reason why Moses struck the Rock instead of talking to it, and the subsequent coming of the Son of God, to achieve victory over the authorities, forces and entities that blocked the Way from being free to accept the Truth and obtain the grace of our salvation, made possible by Jesus Christ, by being resurrected by the power of God from the world of the dead and ascended to the highest heaven to exercise authority over the whole creation and establish the new world order for God's Kingdom, things that could not be possible through the law of Moses. Jacob's spiritual descendants known as the Children of Israel or Israelites, and the spiritual Land promised to them by God is what Jesus Christ as the Son of God obtained victory and when He comes again it will be the Land of Spiritual Israel.
When the ten tribes broke away under Jeroboam, to form an independent Northern Kingdom after the death of King Solomon, these authorities took the name Israel, leaving the Southern Kingdom with the name Judah from which the term Jew originated. Then the designation "Children of Israel" eventually became "the House of Israel," "the People of Israel," and then "Israel," as a collective name of all Jews, whether born of matrilineal descent from Jacob or converted to the faith of Judaism. "Israel" thus became both a religious and ethnic concept incorporating all those subjects to the "Law of Moses."
When the Son of God came, He established a New Covenant, based on  Love and Obedience to the Word of God, and then we are able to be called "the spiritual People of Israel," and be renewed in spirit through the Spirit of Jesus  Christ, the Son of God, who came to the world and was sacrificed by the world and died and was resurrected by the power of God, becoming the only One able to mediate between worlds and restore the Order of Things as it was way before the Creation and it will be in dominion forever.
We as the spiritual People of Israel have to be characterized by three qualities: Love, Faith, and Hope, but the greater of all three is our expression of Love, because through the divine Love of God the Universe was created. We have the status of princes in God's eyes and are to be regarded as the sons of the prophets who have "spiritual wisdom" and "insight" into "the correct Way" in which "the Word of God" should be carried out. Even if we sin, we does not lose our status as a spiritual child of the "New Covenant" and we must still try to be a member of "the kingdom of priests and a Holy Nation."
God himself and through his Son, Jesus Christ, guides our destiny, and his chosen people are not under the control of any astrological force or entity. Our spiritual Land is specifically favored by God, who keeps it constantly under His Surveillance, and its very air makes people wise.
