““God then made Abraham a promise: “Look now toward heaven and see the stars. Thy seed shall be like them.” (Genesis 15:5) As with the Melchizedek passage, there is a secret meaning to this promise. God doesn’t just mean that Abraham’s descendants will be as numerous as the stars, but also that they will be ordered like the stars. They will be ordered into twelve tribes, as the stars are ordered in the twelve constellations of the zodiac, and their destiny will be mapped out according to the movements of the angels of the stars and the planets—according to a unified plan and pattern.””
