Where is the First Star Family in the Bible?

Bethulah and its Decans (and star names) are found in the Bible!

Along with showing the prophetic significance of this year's heavenly events, in this blog, I will be featuring one of the 12 ancient star-families each month. A star family is the primary constellation and its 3 decans, which were known in the ancient world and which were originally named and shaped by God Himself. 

This month, the featured star family is Bethulah. Bethulah, as we have already seen in this blog, represents the people of God who will be the final Bride of Christ. It may seem that these constellations don't appear in the Bible. But that is only how it looks until you remember the Bible wasn't originally written in English. The original Hebrew star and constellation names are found in the Bible. But to find them, you need to use your Strong's Exhaustive Concordance.

The Hebrew word Bethulah is translated in the KJV as "virgin". Thus, while you cannot find "Bethulah" in your KJV, you can find it in the Bible when you look at the original word which is translated as "virgin" in your KJV! And by doing this, we are able to find the ancient star and constellation names in Scripture.

The Strong’s Exhaustive Cordance number for Bethulah is H1330 (“H” stands for Hebrew). By looking up Strong's Exhaustive Concordance number H1330, we find that Bethulah actually appears in the Bible 50 times!

Here are a few places where the name of this first primary constellation appears in the Bible: (The constellation name: Bethulah is bold and underlined in the verses below)

Jeremiah 31:12-13  "Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of Yahweh, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all. Then shall the virgin (Bethulah) rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow." 

Jeremiah 14:17  "Therefore thou shalt say this word unto them; Let mine eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease: for the virgin (Bethulah) daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous blow." 

Lamentations 2:13  "What thing shall I take to witness for thee? What thing shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin (Bethulah) daughter of Zion? for thy breach is great like the sea: who can heal thee?  

The star names from the constellation of Bethulah are also found in the Bible. Here are the places where Bethulah's star-names and meanings can be found:

• Vindemiatrix (Hebrew name Tsemach) - Jeremiah 23:5-6
• Zavijaveh (Hebrew name Yaphah) - Ezekiel 16:8-14
• Spica (Hebrew name Bikkur) - *1 Corinthians 15:20-23; Zechariah 3:8; Leviticus 2:14
• Syrma (Hebrew name Labash)- Isaiah 61:10

* The New Testament is translated from Greek, not Hebrew. Thus, New Testament references are showing the concept or Greek equivalent to the original Hebrew star-name.
