An integration of the Special
Revelation (the Bible) and the General
      Revelation (the Creation)
                  By
           Chin-Lee Chan
            February 2011
The author of the story [ 十二生肖 兩兩 相對 ] about the Chinese
Zodiac of animals is very insightful about God's general revelation, His
Creation, reflection His characters. Like the teaching in Proverbs, God
encourages lazy people to learn from ants. “Go unto the ant, O slothful one,
See her ways and be wise.” Proverbs 6:6
     In response to the challenge of the author of the excellent story [ 十二
生肖 兩兩 相對 ], “ 不知道你們那些寶瓶座啊、射手座啊、公羊座啊,體
現了你們祖先哪些期望和要求?也希望不吝賜教。 “ as a Christian, I
like to share a Christian interpretation of the Middle East and Western
Zodiac. 
     I have adapted the interpretation from some research studies. In
God's Creation, His general revelation, He used the 12 constellations of
the Zodiac like a 12-scene story to reveal the 12 highlights in total of the
life and works of His Son, Jesus Christ; and then the works of Jesus
Christ’s Successor, the Holy Spirit; and then the life and works of Jesus
Christ’s followers; and then back to His own works.
     For this ring of 12 constellations, God has begun the story by the
constellation called Virgin.
     (May I give credit to Wikipedia as the source of the pictures in this
presentation.)
   As in the account of
    Christmas, a virgin, Mary,
    gave birth to Jesus, the
    Savior of the World about
    2011 years ago.
   Virgin Mary and her
    miraculous pregnancy
    was a fulfillment of a
    prophecy in the Hebrew
    Bible: “and enmity I put
    between thee and the
    woman, and between thy
    seed and her seed; he doth
    bruise thee -- the head,
    and thou dost bruise him
    -- the heel.” Genesis 3:15
   John the Baptizer was the
    herald for Jesus and
    proclaimed the judgment
    of God, " and saying --
    'Fulfilled hath been the
    time, and the reign of God
    hath come nigh, reform
    ye, and believe in the
    good news.’“ Mark 1:15
   John was also a fulfillment
    a prophecy in the Hebrew
    Bible : “A voice is crying
    -- in a wilderness --
    Prepare ye the way of
    Jehovah, Make straight in
    a desert a highway to our
    God.” Isaiah 40:3
   Satan is the Scorpion who tried
    to kill Jesus through hi s sting,
    Herod the King with all the
    children of two years of age or
    younger in Bethlehem, Jesus’
    birth city, soon after he heard
    about Jesus’ birth.
   This massacre was also
    prophesized by a prophecy in
    the Hebrew Bible, “Thus said
    Jehovah, A voice in Ramah is
    heard, wailing, weeping most
    bitter, Rachel is weeping for her
    sons, She hath refused to be
    comforted for her sons, because
    they are not.” Jeremiah 31:15
   Jesus was both divine and
    human like the Archer who
    was both human and animal.
   Even though Satan tempted
    Him often, He lived a kind,
    helpful, and sinless life. By
    doing so, He was aiming to
    destroy the wicked works of
    Satan, and eventually Satan,
    the leader of the fallen
    angels. Jesus was the Seed of
    the Woman, a fulfillment of
    a prophecy in the Hebrew
    Bible: “and enmity I put
    between thee and the
    woman, and between thy
    seed and her seed; he doth
    bruise thee -- the head, and
    thou dost bruise him -- the
    heel.” Genesis 3:15
   Goat was the atonement
    sacrifice in the sacrificial system
    in the Hebrew Bible. Fish in
    Greek is Ichthys, an acrostic for
    "Jesus Christ, God's son,
    savior“. Jesus was the
    blameless atonement Goat
    offered and died on the wood
    cross and buried and
    resurrected with a glorified
    body and appearing to more
    than 500 people.
   He was fulfilling the related
    prophecies of the Hebrew Bible
    to proof to us that He is the
    Christ , the Son of God and the
    Savior of the World, including
    us , the Chinese people.: “and
    Aaron hath brought near the
    goat on which the lot for
    Jehovah hath gone up, and hath
    made it a sin-offering.”
   Jesus Christ was the Water
    Bearer and the Holy Spirit was
    the water. About 40 days after
    His resurrection, Jesus Christ
    ascended to return to Heaven
    so that, for one of the purposes,
    He could baptize His followers
    with the Holy Spirit, His divine
    Successor, especially at the Feast
    of Pentecost. He was
    empowering them to be the
    witness of His resurrection by
    the Holy Spirit.
   This powerful experience was a
    fulfillment of a prophecy in the
    Hebrew Bible, “And also on the
    men-servants, and on the maid-
    servants, In those days I do
    pour out My Spirit.” Joel 2:28
   Fish in the Greek language is
    Ichthys, an acrostic for "Jesus
    Christ, God's son, savior“.
    Jesus was one of the two fish
    and the Holy Spirit was
    another similar fish. One
    followed the other.
   The Holy Spirit followed
    Jesus Christ , the Son of God,
    the Savior of the World to be
    Another Comforter to the
    followers of Jesus, so that
    they can help the rest of the
    world to be followers of
    Jesus Christ.
   Paul and other apostles
    and disciples of Jesus
    Christ was like a ram that
    lower its head and runs
    courageously and quickly.
   By the guidance of the
    Holy Spirit, Paul and
    other apostles and
    disciples sacrificially
    rammed through many
    parts of the world to
    witness for Jesus Christ,
    the Savior of the World,
    even us the Chinese
    people.
   Paul and other apostles and
    disciples of Jesus Christ was
    also like a bull which ploughs
    powerfully and kindly and
    then dies sacrificially.
   By the power of the Holy Spirit
    of God, Paul and other apostles
    and many disciples healed the
    sick, helped people to believe
    in Jesus Christ and then most of
    them died as martyrs for Jesus
    Christ like a bull offered to the
    three Deities in one and only
    one heavenly corporate Trio of
    the Hebrew Bible which could
    have influenced the way how
    the bull was sacrificed in China
    to Heaven on the three-tier
    Circular Mound Altar ( 圜丘坛 )
     of the Temple of Heaven ( 天坛
    ) with three three-tier temples
    with gates of three entrances
    ( 三灵门 ).
   Jesus Christ and Christians,
    His followers, are like
    identical twins with special
    connection and similarities.
   By the grace of the Holy
    Spirit, Paul and other
    apostles and many disciples,
    including Dr. Sun Yat-Sen,
    the Father of Republic of
    China, a Cantonese
    physician, became so much
    like Christ in characters that
    they were called Christians,
    the followers of Christ or
    imitators of Christ or the
    doers of what Christ have
    done and is doing now in
    Heaven as our Advocate,
    Petitioner, and High Priest .
   Satan is like a crab, a scorpion
    without a sting. a bottom feeder,
    a scavenger, and a deviant
    which walks in sideways.
   When Christ will return to take
    His twin brothers and sisters to
    His Father's House in Heaven,
    the New Jerusalem City and He
    put the rest of the living human
    being to rest, Satan will become
    weaker like a scorpion turned
    into a sideway walking crab, a
    scorpion without the venomous
    stinging tail and can do less
    harm like a infamous and
    notorious godfather convicted
    and chained in a federal prison
    with his fallen angelic followers,
    the demons to be his
    companions.
   Jesus Christ will rule the Universe
    like a lion rules a forest . Lions like
    other predators prey on the sick
    ones by their Maker’s design.
   When He returns to Earth with His
    twin siblings in the New Jerusalem
    City. He will resurrect the unsaved
    sinners. Satan will lead them,
    besides the demons to attack Jesus
    Christ and His twin siblings. Jesus
    Christ will destroy Satan and his
    following demons and the
    resurrected unsaved sinners with
    the Lake of Fire. He will renew the
    Earth and its sky into the New
    Heaven and the New Earth. There
    will be no more sins, scams, crimes,
    injustice, disasters, sickness, sorrow,
    separations, or death. . They will
    eliminated like a sick animal eaten
    by a lion. Jesus Christ and His twin
    siblings will live happy ever after.

The Christian Zodiac

  • 1. An integration of the Special Revelation (the Bible) and the General Revelation (the Creation) By Chin-Lee Chan February 2011
  • 2. The author of the story [ 十二生肖 兩兩 相對 ] about the Chinese Zodiac of animals is very insightful about God's general revelation, His Creation, reflection His characters. Like the teaching in Proverbs, God encourages lazy people to learn from ants. “Go unto the ant, O slothful one, See her ways and be wise.” Proverbs 6:6 In response to the challenge of the author of the excellent story [ 十二 生肖 兩兩 相對 ], “ 不知道你們那些寶瓶座啊、射手座啊、公羊座啊,體 現了你們祖先哪些期望和要求?也希望不吝賜教。 “ as a Christian, I like to share a Christian interpretation of the Middle East and Western Zodiac.  I have adapted the interpretation from some research studies. In God's Creation, His general revelation, He used the 12 constellations of the Zodiac like a 12-scene story to reveal the 12 highlights in total of the life and works of His Son, Jesus Christ; and then the works of Jesus Christ’s Successor, the Holy Spirit; and then the life and works of Jesus Christ’s followers; and then back to His own works. For this ring of 12 constellations, God has begun the story by the constellation called Virgin. (May I give credit to Wikipedia as the source of the pictures in this presentation.)
  • 3. As in the account of Christmas, a virgin, Mary, gave birth to Jesus, the Savior of the World about 2011 years ago.  Virgin Mary and her miraculous pregnancy was a fulfillment of a prophecy in the Hebrew Bible: “and enmity I put between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; he doth bruise thee -- the head, and thou dost bruise him -- the heel.” Genesis 3:15
  • 4. John the Baptizer was the herald for Jesus and proclaimed the judgment of God, " and saying -- 'Fulfilled hath been the time, and the reign of God hath come nigh, reform ye, and believe in the good news.’“ Mark 1:15  John was also a fulfillment a prophecy in the Hebrew Bible : “A voice is crying -- in a wilderness -- Prepare ye the way of Jehovah, Make straight in a desert a highway to our God.” Isaiah 40:3
  • 5. Satan is the Scorpion who tried to kill Jesus through hi s sting, Herod the King with all the children of two years of age or younger in Bethlehem, Jesus’ birth city, soon after he heard about Jesus’ birth.  This massacre was also prophesized by a prophecy in the Hebrew Bible, “Thus said Jehovah, A voice in Ramah is heard, wailing, weeping most bitter, Rachel is weeping for her sons, She hath refused to be comforted for her sons, because they are not.” Jeremiah 31:15
  • 6. Jesus was both divine and human like the Archer who was both human and animal.  Even though Satan tempted Him often, He lived a kind, helpful, and sinless life. By doing so, He was aiming to destroy the wicked works of Satan, and eventually Satan, the leader of the fallen angels. Jesus was the Seed of the Woman, a fulfillment of a prophecy in the Hebrew Bible: “and enmity I put between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; he doth bruise thee -- the head, and thou dost bruise him -- the heel.” Genesis 3:15
  • 7. Goat was the atonement sacrifice in the sacrificial system in the Hebrew Bible. Fish in Greek is Ichthys, an acrostic for "Jesus Christ, God's son, savior“. Jesus was the blameless atonement Goat offered and died on the wood cross and buried and resurrected with a glorified body and appearing to more than 500 people.  He was fulfilling the related prophecies of the Hebrew Bible to proof to us that He is the Christ , the Son of God and the Savior of the World, including us , the Chinese people.: “and Aaron hath brought near the goat on which the lot for Jehovah hath gone up, and hath made it a sin-offering.”
  • 8. Jesus Christ was the Water Bearer and the Holy Spirit was the water. About 40 days after His resurrection, Jesus Christ ascended to return to Heaven so that, for one of the purposes, He could baptize His followers with the Holy Spirit, His divine Successor, especially at the Feast of Pentecost. He was empowering them to be the witness of His resurrection by the Holy Spirit.  This powerful experience was a fulfillment of a prophecy in the Hebrew Bible, “And also on the men-servants, and on the maid- servants, In those days I do pour out My Spirit.” Joel 2:28
  • 9. Fish in the Greek language is Ichthys, an acrostic for "Jesus Christ, God's son, savior“. Jesus was one of the two fish and the Holy Spirit was another similar fish. One followed the other.  The Holy Spirit followed Jesus Christ , the Son of God, the Savior of the World to be Another Comforter to the followers of Jesus, so that they can help the rest of the world to be followers of Jesus Christ.
  • 10. Paul and other apostles and disciples of Jesus Christ was like a ram that lower its head and runs courageously and quickly.  By the guidance of the Holy Spirit, Paul and other apostles and disciples sacrificially rammed through many parts of the world to witness for Jesus Christ, the Savior of the World, even us the Chinese people.
  • 11. Paul and other apostles and disciples of Jesus Christ was also like a bull which ploughs powerfully and kindly and then dies sacrificially.  By the power of the Holy Spirit of God, Paul and other apostles and many disciples healed the sick, helped people to believe in Jesus Christ and then most of them died as martyrs for Jesus Christ like a bull offered to the three Deities in one and only one heavenly corporate Trio of the Hebrew Bible which could have influenced the way how the bull was sacrificed in China to Heaven on the three-tier Circular Mound Altar ( 圜丘坛 ) of the Temple of Heaven ( 天坛 ) with three three-tier temples with gates of three entrances ( 三灵门 ).
  • 12. Jesus Christ and Christians, His followers, are like identical twins with special connection and similarities.  By the grace of the Holy Spirit, Paul and other apostles and many disciples, including Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, the Father of Republic of China, a Cantonese physician, became so much like Christ in characters that they were called Christians, the followers of Christ or imitators of Christ or the doers of what Christ have done and is doing now in Heaven as our Advocate, Petitioner, and High Priest .
  • 13. Satan is like a crab, a scorpion without a sting. a bottom feeder, a scavenger, and a deviant which walks in sideways.  When Christ will return to take His twin brothers and sisters to His Father's House in Heaven, the New Jerusalem City and He put the rest of the living human being to rest, Satan will become weaker like a scorpion turned into a sideway walking crab, a scorpion without the venomous stinging tail and can do less harm like a infamous and notorious godfather convicted and chained in a federal prison with his fallen angelic followers, the demons to be his companions.
  • 14. Jesus Christ will rule the Universe like a lion rules a forest . Lions like other predators prey on the sick ones by their Maker’s design.  When He returns to Earth with His twin siblings in the New Jerusalem City. He will resurrect the unsaved sinners. Satan will lead them, besides the demons to attack Jesus Christ and His twin siblings. Jesus Christ will destroy Satan and his following demons and the resurrected unsaved sinners with the Lake of Fire. He will renew the Earth and its sky into the New Heaven and the New Earth. There will be no more sins, scams, crimes, injustice, disasters, sickness, sorrow, separations, or death. . They will eliminated like a sick animal eaten by a lion. Jesus Christ and His twin siblings will live happy ever after. Revelations 20 -21 -- The end --
