Default Christian Astrology

A lot of Christians cannot comprehend that. Recent research has brought to the light, that the system of ages of the Patriarchs Abraham, Sara, Ismael and Isaak describes an ancient calendar of planetary movement.

One knows for example about the age of Abraham, that he was 99 years when circumcised. It happens to be, that this 99, if read as a number of moon-months (from new moon to new moon), it's exactly the half of the verses of the Torah. This evidence is backed up by a little detail, that has been missed over the centuries: the Torah was allready divided into verses well planned from the start. One can see this in the Codex Leningradensis f.e., that is far older than any allegedly arbitrary system of verse divisions.

Well, I am impressed. This means Christian Astrology is just the same as Occultism.

The Codex Leningradensis is a medieval manuscript, full of comments and aids. How can it be used to prove that the Torah was originally divided into verses?

The proof comes from the insight that the well developed system would be just as impossible to build into the Torah later, than to build annother basement into an erected house. The fact, that the Church's tale about the verse divisions is falsified by the (relatively newly rediscovered) older Script (the L.C.), supports that prior insight. We do not have a 'first Torah' but that does not change the situation, as the discovered system makes pertinent sense together with the text itself. If you question the discovered system, you can also question the text itself to the same ammount.
