The milky way and zodiac from the Bible 2000 years ago... Revelations 22: Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month.

I don‘t think that text literally refers to the night sky. Most of Relevations describes things „to come“ and are communicated in signs / metaphors. See 1:1.

It's odd to look for hidden references to the Milky Way and the zodiac in the Bible, considering they were both well known before the Old Testament. If a biblical author wanted to talk about the Milky Way, or the zodiac, he could.
