Toby does an amazing work on helping believers see the Biblical and historical roots found in the stars as the Lord prescribed for all to know the real meaning in the stars. There are so many references in the Bible from signs in the heavens to discerning the times based on how the Lord hung the stars in the heavens. We all need to see the restorative patterns of Gods design and the beauty of his holiness displayed in the skies above for us to know all the plans our Father has in these challenging times. Be encouraged by the truths found in this book and inquire of the Lord, like David did, as to how you are to grow into the fullness of the knowledge of the Lord for your own life.

The Mystery of the 12 Stars is a fascinating and groundbreaking study of how the stars speak and of Whom they speak. Moreover, the text is liberally sprinkled with pictures so you can see Gods handwriting in the sky for yourself. Gods power is immense and His attention to detail is precise. His handiwork in all creation truly declares Christ and now we can read His writing in the heavens! Now is Gods timing for us to learn the fascinating mysteries of the stars. This book is a much needed and timely unveiling of another secret thing of God.

I have known Toby for years. I have watched him grow in faith and the grace of God and become a loving caring man of God, filled with much insight and revelation from our Lord. He has received from the Lord an amazing revelation concerning the stars and the message of our Father God in them. This revelation will help us to more fully understand the scripture in Psalms 19:1, The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. I have been stretched in my study with Toby concerning the stars and their message and have come to see and understand that the Lord reveals himself through all of creation. His DNA is everywhere and if we seek truth by the Holy Spirit, who is the Spirit of Truth, we will find it, know it and be set free, by it. I recommend this book by my dear friend and brother.

An amazing book! The depth of both astronomical and scriptural research combined, makes The Mystery of the 12 Stars a valuable and informative theological and inspirational resource. Dr Toby Kreiselmaier has done an exceptional job of presenting a clear and comprehensive portrait of the Bible through the messages in the stars. He shows convincing evidence that the Heavens declare the Glory of God, as portrayed in Psalm 19:1-4 [AMP] The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And the expanse [of heaven] is declaring the work of His hands. Day after day pours forth speech, And night after night reveals knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there [spoken] words [from the stars]; Their voice is not heard. Yet their voice [in quiet evidence] has gone out through all the earth, Their words to the end of the world. Thank you Dr. Toby, for your work on this subject.

One essential ingredient to understand Gods timetable is to have knowledge concerning the stars as Daniel and other great men of God understood them. The Bible says that stars, along with the sun and moon were given for signs and seasons in Genesis 1:14.
Tobys extensive research lays a foundation and inspires us to dig deeper into this matter. He fearlessly endeavors to open up subjects not often touched by believers in order to bring greater insight and revelation through Gods creation while he acknowledges and gives glory to the Creator. I believe that the wonder and awe of God will awaken in you as you read these pages and see our great and faithful God as more infinite, wise and powerful than ever before.

I ntroduction
The Zodiac, the 12 Stars or the Mazzaroth as they are called in Hebrew contain many mysteries that have very powerful implications in history, for our future and for present day events. However, the true meaning and understanding of the stars have been clouded and hidden by those that dont want others such as the general public or laymen to understand. We have been taught a whole complex system of lies which is commonly known as modern astrology. A recent poll shows that about 25% of all Americans more or less believe in astrology. When we make new friends either at work or in private eventually someone will ask us either about our birth date or about our Zodiac because they want to understand us better and they believe in astrology to a degree.
The answer to all the mysteries of the 12 Stars is really simple. It is Jesus. He is the Beginning and the End, He is the Author and Finisher of our faith, of creation, and the universe and He is the key that unravels any question that we may have, not only in regards to the stars.
Christians have learned through their leaders and through Bible studies that the whole concept of divination and astrology is obviously a sin and not Gods will. At least, this was my personal conviction until recently.
But then I found myself studying some Scriptures that really indicated that God created the Sun, the Moon, the planets, and the stars to teach us about times and seasons and that the heavens have a language that conveys a constant message to us if we could only understand it.
But what really did it for me was when I studied an ancient book that is normally not in the Canon of the Western churches, but can be found in the Bible of the Ethiopic Church the Book of Jasher (i.e. The Righteous). This book is referred to in the Bible in two places as a reliable source. Joshua 10:13 even states that a certain event must be true and should be believed by the reader because Jasher contains it.
So one day I was studying the story of Joseph, the son of Jacob in the book of Jasher and I found the following passage describing the situation shortly before Joseph reveals his true identity to his brothers:
And he ordered them to bring before him his map of the stars, whereby Joseph knew all the times, and Joseph said unto Benjamin, I have heard that the Hebrews are acquainted with all wisdom, dost thou know anything of this? And Benjamin said, thy servant is knowing also in all the wisdom which my father taught me, and Joseph said unto Benjamin, look now at this instrument and understand where thy brother Joseph is in Egypt, who you said went down to Egypt. And Benjamin beheld that instrument with the map of the stars of heaven, and he was wise and looked therein to know where his brother was, and Benjamin divided the whole land of Egypt into four divisions, and he found that he who was sitting upon the throne before him was his brother Joseph, and Benjamin wondered greatly, and when Joseph saw that his brother Benjamin was so much astonished, he said unto Benjamin, what hast thou seen, and why art thou astonished? And Benjamin said unto Joseph, I can see by this that Joseph my brother sits here with me upon the throne, and Joseph said unto him, I am Joseph thy brother.
