The Star of JACOB
PRELUDE TO THE BIRTH OF THE ROYAL KING
And the Cosmic Configuration of the Crucifixion

‘I
see Him, but not here and now. I perceive Him, but far in the distant
future. A Star will rise from Jacob; a Scepter will emerge from Israel.
It [He] will smite the foreheads of Moab's
people, and destroy all the sons of Seth.’ –Numbers 24:17
The
purpose of the study and online illustration is to continue in the
series of studies entitled The Cosmology of Christ’s Birth. The study
seeks to examine the timeline that outlines the major astronomical
occurrences
since -5 BC. This timeframe starts with the Start of David hexagram
alignments and illustrates the ecliptic patterns and planetary
conjunctions thereafter that could lend a visual clue as to the timing
of Christ’s actual birth based on such ecliptic patterns
and conjunctions. This study strongly agrees with the theory though
that the ‘Star of Bethlehem’ was the planet Jupiter and that the signs
had to do with the conjunctions of various planets, mainly Jupiter with
Regulus and Venus.
This study suggests that the single most compelling evidence for the
birth of Christ astronomically was the divine signature markers of the
triple conjunction of Jupiter with Regulus, which has been unprecedented
as it has not occurred since the Star of David
of -5 BC or since then. The triple conjunction was bookended by the
complimentary conjunction of Jupiter with Venus before and after the
constellation Leo that spanned the duration of 9 months, a human
gestation period. Interestingly that gestation period
culminated around the Passover of March -3 BC, almost exactly 3 years
to the month from the March 2, -5 BC Star of David alignment that this
study suggests is actually a depiction of the Cosmic Crucifixion of the
coming Messiah, the King; as to the specific
purpose for this divine and miraculous birth.
This study strongly suggests that 3 years from this Cosmic Crucifixion
alignment, the birth of Christ occurred on the Passover feast in March
of -2 BC. This assertion is conjecture but it is during the yearly
season for the birthing of lambs that possibly coincided
with the birth of the Messiah, the Lamb of GOD that was to be born to
take away the sin of the World. This birthing of the lambs would be out
in the fields of Bethlehem as it was where the shepherds were tending to
them and the Angles burst out in jubilation
to announce to them the physical birth of GOD the SON on Earth. Thus
there would have been room in the mangers or stalls of the animals to
accommodate a delivery. Nonetheless, it would also be symbolically that
the Messiah would be born and die on a Passover.
This stipulation rules out any speculated fall or winter birth as the
reverse conditions would have been observed. There would have been no
room at the ‘inn’ due to Rosh HaShana Fall Feast and neither in the
mangers as the animals would be collected and housed
for covering against the cold and the elements.
The Passover Clock
The Passover is the only one of the 7 main Feast of YHVH that requires
an animal sacrifices. This sacrifice commemorates the ‘passing over’ by
the Angel of Death that was smiting the 1st Born as the last
divine judgment of YHVH against the ‘gods’
of Egypt during the last night of Hebrew enslavement in Egypt. It was a
deliverance and a type of a judgment bestowed upon another. Thus the
sacrifice of the lamb had to be done in haste and at a precise time as
it was crucial for the Hebrews to execute and
not be found under the same judgment of Pharaoh and the Egyptians, a
type of the AntiChrist and the World. It is understood that just before
the midnight hour and thereafter the Angel of Death came upon the land
of Egypt.
Those that did not avail themselves of the Blood of the Lamb upon their
homes were judged by death. The point being is that if the Apostle Paul
teaches that as Jesus Christ was the Lamb of GOD, then the events of
Passover had to precisely follow the same exact
timing and procedure of His execution and judgment upon the very Lamb
of GOD. If any Feast of the LORD would have corresponded to when the
Messiah was to die as a ‘lamb’ metaphor, it could not have been any
except Passover. Thus perhaps the Lamb of GOD could
thus only have been born on Passover just as well in keeping with this
godly theme of a sacrificial substitution promised to Abraham and plan
of redemption for Humanity.
If one considers the Passover day in purely mathematical terms, the day
of the Passover by hours in which the crucifixion of Jesus Christ took
place on Passover had a factor of the phi ratio. The duration of the
crucifixion of 3 hours approximates the phi ratio
proportion of time that this study suggests correlated precisely to the
very ritual timing of the Passover sacrifice and meal ritual. The time
that Christ Jesus was ‘lifted up’ or crucified was at noon as Jesus was
on the cross for 3 hours. Jesus died as the
Passover lambs would be slaughter at that very same moment in the
Temple.
About an hour later, the piecing by the Roman Guard took place
mathematically as a continued factor of the phi ratio that correlated to
the meat preparation of the Passover lambs as the Jews would take it
and eat of it with the celebratory 5 cups of Passover.
This occurred as any Moed or Feast day was a High Day Sabbath, not a
Friday evening. Any person hung on a tree, i.e., a cross had to be
buried before sunset as to not desecrate the Passover, thus the Romans
pierced Christ’s body through His heart to make sure
He was dead, thus no bones needed to be broken as others had to be
broken to expedite a death by suffocation. As the body of Christ was
buried, the Afikomen was hidden during the Passover Meal.
Thus the sacrifice of the Messiah, the Lamb of GOD had to be done in
haste and at a precise time as it was crucial to execute so as to have
Humanity absolved of sin as the Lamb, the Messiah gave up His life in
judgment instead at that very hour. Realize this
one aspect of the crucifixion is that technically Jesus was not
murdered or killed as it would appear by the mere events that transpired
at the Cross and due to the false trials, sentencing, flogging that led
up to the nailing on the Tree or Cross itself of
Jesus. The life of Jesus Christ was not taken but given, and given or
relinquished at a precise time. Theologically this occurred only after
the Bible teaches that it was at that time between Heaven and Earth as
Jesus was suspended in-between spiritual dimensions
as well. It was at this precise time and supernatural dimensions that
GOD the Father placed all the sins of Humanity and the accompanied wrath
upon the Lamb.
It was a transferring of sins as with the Scapegoat. The final outcome
was death and eternal separation experienced and suffered by Jesus on
behalf of Adam’s fallen race. Jesus Christ’s very own words were ‘into
Your hands I commit My Spirit, and He gave up
the Ghost or Spirit’ and then He died. This detail might seem
inconsequential but the theological implications are enormous if one
fully understands the score of the crucifixion. As the Passover ritual
meal progressed, the mathematical ratio culminated into
the 11th hour. What is significant about this? This was the
hour of Death, of blood that Passover was instituted for as in Egypt. In
32 AD, a total lunar eclipse or Blood Moon did occur at that precise
time mathematically. This stipulated scenario
and series of events would concur if the Blood Moon event that occurred
in 32 AD as if to ’punctuate’ this time with its apex at 23:02 hours
was the actual day of the death of Jesus prior to sunset.
The Stellarium software confirms that on Apr 14, 32 AD there was a total
lunar eclipse Blood Moon in Libra as if to illustrate this sacrifice.
Perhaps it was also reminiscent of the coming Angel of Death upon the
Land. In ancient times, Libra was an altar of
sacrifice as in a square slab but the 2 scales appropriately denote a
judgment. As it has been stated, it is understood that just before the
midnight hour and thereafter the Angel of Death came upon the land of
Egypt. Those that did not avail themselves of
the Blood of the Lamb were judged. This is the theological state of
affairs now in that those of Humanity that refuse to apply the Blood of
the Lamb that of Jesus Christ will eventually succumb to the judgment of
the 1st Born, that of death and
separation for the One and True Living GOD YHVH. The Bible stipulates
not only would there be a physical death but a spiritual one that will
involve an eternal state and separation from the life and light of the
Creator, Jesus Christ. This is theologically
referred to as the 2nd Death.
The Celestial Crucifixion
This study with corresponding chart online will focus on the makeup
of the particular Star of David astronomical alignment that occurred on
March 2, -5 BC and its particulars and possible implication leading up
to the birth of the Royal King, Jesus Christ.
This study and illustration is not aimed to be dogmatic about a date
but to suggest that based on the ecliptic pattern and planetary
conjunctions, a season and perhaps Feast of the LORD could be the best
candidate for a possible date of Christ’s Birth in direct
relation to the eclipse patterns and conjunctions of the particular
planets.
This study suggests that the hexagram Star of David could not have been
the Star of Bethlehem for the reasons that will be considered in the
study. The accompanying online chart will approximate a rendering of the
Solar System as it was configured on March
2, -5 BC. Prior research has pegged this particular planetary alignment
to not occur but once in about ~40,000,000 years, if at all. As to how
the odds were calculated is mainly the research of
John Charles Webb. Since then though,
other studies have shown that although extremely rare, the past decades
have produced a series of spectacular 13 such ‘Star of David’ alignments
that is unprecedented.
The point being that if such a Celestial hexagram and Cosmic Cross was a
prelude to Messiah’s first coming, and that the odds of such a
configuration are beyond the score of reason, what would be the odds and
significance of 13 Stars of David in a row within
a period 2 decades? Would it not be rational to expect such a similar
event and/or astronomical configuration on the same level as the birth
of Christ? Perhaps it could be alluding to the Return of Christ? What
this study strongly suggests is that the Star
of David was not announcing the ‘birth’ of the Messiah but the ‘death’
and specifically by crucifixion on a cross based on the cosmology of the
alignment that that precise time. From the top view of the Solar System
on March 2, -5 BC, the hexagram Star of
David can be depicted as a Cosmic Crucifixion. In this rendition, there
are some amazing Biblically prophetic implications of such a celestial
configuration that has been largely overlooked.
When the alignment is coordinated to the Cardinal Cross perpendicularly
and at a rotation of 180 degrees from the astrological chart, the
perspective of the hexagram alignment configures the ‘Celestial
Crucifixion’. With it, a ‘star’ as in the coordinates of
an out-stretched man and a pyramid pattern emerge. The six planets
configure the ‘Star or Cosmic-Man’. Venus is prominent as the head that
is attributed to one of the titles of the Risen Messiah, the Bright and
Morning Star. The planet Venus at the top of
this ‘pyramid’ and ‘head’ of the Cosmic-Man as if it is a torch of
light that the planet’s name alludes to. It is flanked with the Earth at
the metaphorical right hand and Jupiter, the King planet to the left.
The base of the cosmic ‘pyramid’ is sustained
by the noble gas planets of Neptune and Uranus.
Apparently, the exclusionary planets not incorporated into this
‘Celestial Crucifixion’ are Mars, the God of War and Saturn, which is
often associated as that of Satan and the nemeses to Jupiter. It is as
if GOD set aside the war or enmity with Mankind and
giving Satan a ‘time-out’. To reiterate, the planetary configuration of
this Star of David hexagram of March 2, -5 BC depicts the Da Vinci Man
that is famously depicted with out-stretch arms within a square and
circle. The number 6 is the number of Man according
to the Bible. The specific planets that made up this Star-Man or as
this study presents, the Cosmic Messiah as a type of the true Messiah,
Jesus Christ to come are the following.
1. Venus
2. Earth
3. Jupiter
4. Mercury
5. Neptune
6. Uranus
Within
this celestial depiction and cosmology, the 6 basic numbers and
elements or forms are denoted that which are said to be used as the
‘building blocks’ of Creation itself. These forms are the Circle,
the Line, the Square, the Triangle, the Star, etc. Each of the 5
planets are depicting the point of the extremities of the ‘Cosmic
Messiah’ that were to be pierced through in the flesh. It is as though
the 5 planets or stars are denoting the number of piercings
Jesus had literally on the Cross done by the Roman nails. This means
that in Eternity Past before time, in some mysterious way even before
Creation or Humanity even sinned on Earth, the work and purpose of Jesus
as The Christ needing to die to redeem Humanity
was already good as done. If this assertion might seem far-fetched to
accept or contemplate, recall that the Bible declares that ‘the Christ
has been slain since the foundations of the world.’
This ‘Star Man’ depiction of a crucified Cosmic Christ is as if the LORD
is advertising that the coming Christ that is to be born for the
purpose of dying and that of a specific death by crucifixion as he had
to be physically pierced. The Christ of YHVH would
be placed upon a physical ‘cross’ as the stars or planets depict a
crucifixion against the celestial Cardinal Cross. This particular
Cardinal Cross is made up by Cancer, Aries, Capricorn and Libra. These 4
Cardinal Cross points denote the Biblical themes of
redemption that was the purpose for the birth, death by crucifixion
precisely and resurrection of the Christ.
1) Aries
As the Messiah, Jesus Christ would be as that Scapegoat led away to take away the sins of Humanity.
2) Capricorn
He would be the GOD-Man, 100% GOD and Man having a dual nature in one person as Capricorn represents.
3) Libra
He would take upon himself at the Cross of Calvary the wrath and
judgment of GOD for the infraction against the Law of GOD due to Man’s
sin as represented by Libra.
4) Cancer
Lastly the purpose was for the sheepfold, as Cancer contains the
‘Beehive’ that of humanity as the Good Shepherd that laid down His life
for the sheep.
This Celestial Crucifixion portrays the foretold oracle that the Messiah
was to be pierced through the hands and feet, meaning that the Creator
would in some manner have flesh as a human to be pierced. This is the
tenants of Christianity, that GOD the SON took
on human flesh, born of a human mother, so as to have a sinless nature
to be the 2nd Adam to be a qualifier to redeem and pay for restoring the
fallen race of Adam. The Gospel is that this Jesus was The Christ, not
one of the Christs, was crucified on a cross,
not stake, died, was buried and rose physically, not ‘spiritually’ from
the dead due to His perfect sinless nature. The message of the Bible is
that now can only Jesus can bestow Eternal Life and forgiveness of sins
to all that come to Jesus Christ as LORD
and Savor as one surrenders the heart, mind and soul in an exchange for
a new one.
The Principles of Retrogrades
Certain planets have a degree of retrograde that occurs. This is the
path of a planet traveling backwards from Earth’s perspective. This
occurs because the plants travel at different speeds and as the
trajectory is circular, a faster planet might overtake
another planet gives the perspective that the planet stops and moves
backwards. This principle can be compared as if a one is traveling on a
road while one faster moving vehicle is passing a slower one. Both
vehicles are going forward yet as the faster vehicle
passes the slower one at a faster speed, the car being passed up
appears to fall back and travel ‘backwards’. These various planetary
retrogrades effects happen at precise intervals of time as a planet’s
retrograde spectacularly produce a geometric pattern.
In fact if one plots-out the pattern of a given planet’s retrograde from
a top view of the entire Solar System, most of the planets will produce
an amazing ‘flower’ pattern. This is just one of the amazing signatures
of the Creator that has been infused within
the handiwork of His Creation. The Solar System is not a disorganized
conglomeration of random planetary circuits. Each planet has a
corresponding orbit that in essence is a reflection of its frequency;
each planet has a corresponding resonance or sound even
and color. The point being is that the odds of Jupiter’s retrograde
that occurred in Cancer, then in Leo and Virgo to then coincide with the
triple conjunction due to the retrograde in Leo with Regulus bookmarked
by the conjunction of Venus before and after
the triple conjunction is astronomical beyond random chance and it has
not happened since. This scenario of events lends more probability that
the actual birth had to be related to such celestial coordination. To
add the double conjunction during this timeframe
with Venus to have thereafter a 9 month conjunction again is beyond
logical probability.
The Silent Celestial Witnesses
There are various theories about what the actual Star of Bethlehem
was. Many believe it was allegorical as so much of the Bible is
purported to be by many. Many assert that such a ‘redeeming Christ’ was
conceptual that even if YHVH promised a Redeemer to
be ‘birthed’ of a Virgin, such events could not go beyond the
metaphysical and metaphorical to the physical and literal. Many are
convinced of this only possibility and should thus be interpreted as
such. However, the Bible accounts state that it was a physical
reality or else the Promises of YHVH to Eve, the Prophets, Abraham,
King David, etc., would be void and null. This physical visitation of
the King of the Universe is directly tied to a specific timing.
This was given to the prophet Daniel in visions and mathematical
calculation of when Messiah was to be presented to Israel as the Lamb of
GOD. The point being is that it is possible that even mathematically
and astronomically, the birth and death of Messiah
was subject to signs that the LORD Himself placed so clearly as a
‘sign’ so as to not have His People miss it. With the advent of modern
computer astronomy software, a more precise depiction of the alignments
can be examined and studied around the purported
time of Jesus Christ’s possible birth. Such computer software can
perhaps reveal some missed clues or celestial sequences that might
pertain to a pattern in the stars that would have announced the birth of
the Messiah.
These alignments were in the precise signs primarily in Leo and Virgo
where they were expected to occur. Leo has been primarily associated
with the Lion-King, with the Royal Star, Regulus. Thus any peculiar
conjunction with the King Planet Jupiter of the Messiah
should been considered more importantly. No such sign occurred in Leo
during the March 2, -5 BC alignment. One assertion is true nonetheless;
the alignments and eclipse patterns are blueprints of the Gospel written
in the Stars. The Apostle Paul alludes to
this in Romans as the ‘Silent Witness’. Most do not credit that even if
illiterate at the time, most common people had a deeper understanding
of the interface of Earth with the constellations as ‘signs’ set in
motion by the Creator for appointments specifically.
This
celestial knowledge is dealing with the Mazzaroth or Zodiac, the Signs
in the heavens or constellations. Most ancient peoples had a better
grasp of such amazing knowledge of the constellations
and their meaning than the average college educated person in the 21st
century. It is true that only in the Gospel of Matthew; with its theme
of the ‘King’ emphases of the 4 faceted dimensions of the Messiah to
come does it present the account of
the Royal Star. It is thus appropriate that the Royal Star correspond
to the Royal dimension of the Messiah to be birthed. What this means
thought is that there was other serious sources that collaborated the
divine oracle that the coming Messiah would be
a Royal King associated in conjunction with a royal Sign of the
Mazzaroth and with the Royal ‘star’ Regulus. Such is the case with the
Magi of Persia.
The
‘science’ of the study of the star’s meaning or technically being
Astrology was only studied by the very elite and learned. This is what
separated the masses from the elites at the time.
Most of the illiterate masses only had pieces of the puzzle from what
was told to them by the religious and/or political priests that ruled a
cast system in the ancient world. For example, not only did the Wise Men
of Persia or the Magi know of the celestial
sign but as to its timing of the Star of the King but the High Priests
of Israel knew also. The Priests of Israel confirmed that according to
the Old Testament, a Star would rise up from Jacob and that it would be
associated to the Promised Messiah, the King
to be born in Bethlehem of David and from a Virgin that Messiah was to
come from. Herein is the danger of such knowledge. Even though the
Priestly elites of Israel knew of such timing and knowledge, such
information did not get disseminated to the masses enough
to make a difference.
Biblical Astrology?
Although the Sadducees, Pharisees and the Scribes of Israel knew of
these versus and of Daniel the Prophet’s mathematical timetable, the
oracles of such a visitation by the King of the Universe upon Israel as
promised to Eve and Abraham came to blindside
Israel as it was in a spiritual state of darkness, apathy and unbelief.
Herod the Great at the time exemplified this attitude and reaction to
the understanding of the Magi’s purpose for the visit to Bethlehem. This
would be the same state of religious affairs
when Jesus admonished Nicodemus for being a ‘Teacher of Israel’ and he
too missed the meaning and significance of what the Messiah was all
about and to accomplish in His 1st mission and advent to Earth.
Such
is the current spiritual condition present in GOD’s People in these
Last Days; apathy, spiritual darkness that will catch the sleeping
Church blindsided. As to the debate between Astronomy
and Astrology, if one looks and studies more in-depth, one will realize
that yes Astronomy is of GOD, as the Bible clearly states that YHVH
fashioned the stars and the panoply of space as a curtain
metaphorically. The Bible goes on to state that each star
has a name and thus a meaning and interpretation of such as nothing
that YHVH names is without purpose or meaning, but so is GOD's
astrology. In a pure technical definition, Astronomy is the observation
of the cosmic configurations, pretty neutral without
interpretation. The interpretation of the Astronomy is Astrology. This
is where there is some issue with godly theology and what Astrology has
degenerated to; as with any other source of true knowledge and wisdom
that is filtered through the fallen mind of
Humanity. The LORD clearly forbids the study of the divinations that
utilizes the stars as mediums for interpretation that is man-made and
man-centered.
Astrology of today is humanistic, man-centered and in most cases
Satanic. It’s not because the dark forces of Lucifer uses it for evil
that the Body of Christ has to avoid it exclusively by relinquishing its
spiritual Godly authority over it to understand that
the Stars, Moon and Sun were set to precisely have GOD’s People
'interpret' the times. The difference is that when the LORD gives a
‘sign’, it is to confirm His will, purpose and plan. It will also always
exhaust Christ. It is true that Christ reprimanded
the Jews for seeking ‘signs’ and the Greeks for seeking ‘knowledge’ but
it was to challenge Christ with and not confirm Jesus’ miracles and
credentials as Messiah. To this effect this is why the LORD thus chose
the foolishness of the preaching of the Gospel
from the unlearned and unsophisticated to confound the wisdom of the so
called ‘wise’ of this world.
This is the issue that some Christians have in that many have chosen to
neglect and avoid the signs the LORD has given to interpret and thus
have missed the signs as Israel did with the 1st coming of Messiah. Many
perhaps are missing the signs of His 2nd
Coming and thus not be prepared spiritually. It is at this place where
the verse would be most appropriate to state, ‘My People parish for lack
of knowledge’, etc. In the Bible didn't the LORD show Joseph the stars
that ‘bowed down’ to him and Joseph 'interpreted'
or made astrology of the astronomy in that the 'stars' or celestial
bodies, the Sun and Moon were to be his parents that one day would
literally bow down to him? Didn’t the Stone that came out of Heaven to
smite Nebuchadnezzar’s Statue that he dreamt allude
to an ‘asteroid’ as an omen of doom but of eventual establishment of
Christ’s Kingdom on Earth as far as human government is concerned?
Those signs were from the LORD and the revelations were
'interpretations' astrologically given to His Prophets and on and
on. Then there is the Star of Bethlehem that the Magi followed and
interpreted to be that of the promised Royal King, it was the Astrology
of the Astronomy; they were technically Astrologers.
Also many in recent years have attempted to 'interpret' the Blood Moons,
Tetrads and Eclipses etc., that is really Astrology. What NASA has
provided is just the Astronomy, nothing more, but some Christians that
seek to speak on their prophetic significance,
that is Astrology. The real issue is that the Body of Christ has not
been equipped for this discernment, by design. The Church of Christ
should have enough spiritual decrement with this knowledge to be at the
forefront of discerning the times. The problem
is that it sadly does not. In general, the Church has relinquished this
authority to Luciferians, occultists and Satanists that revel in such
knowledge and use it as a tool to ensnare and lure many to their side of
their dark light. If GOD gives godly men
and women discernment to know the times and the signs in the Sun, Moon
and Stars and interpret accordingly; the key difference will be very
easy to distinguish. If the signs and interpretation are not exulting
Christ, it's not of the Holy Spirit. Foremost
the ultimate authority is the WORD.
The Star of Jacob
It is this study’s supposition that the Star of Bethlehem was a serious
of divine orchestrated alignments and events over a 4 year period of
time that reflected the series of unique planetary conjunction and
celestial alignments at this particular time and
place related to GOD’s promise to Israel of the birth of their Royal
King, the Messiah. Invariably, there are several deep levels of meaning
that can be taken out from this theme alone of a Sun, as in a SON, a
Virgin, a literal Star, etc., that can have metaphorical
applications but foremost the true and type is only and exclusively
found with Jesus Christ. For the purposes of this study and
illustrations, the Star of Bethlehem is the planet Jupiter. This planet
is ascribed to that of the planet of the Messiah, the King
Planet, etc. All the ancient civilizations had this understanding and
discernment written in the stars beforehand and knew about the Christ,
the Son of the GOD that would be crucified on a cross for the redemption
of Humanity.
To
reiterate, the main tenants of the theory presented in this study is
that the triple conjunction of Jupiter with Regulus and the double
conjunction of Jupiter with Venus were the key sequences
of the divine timetable for the timing of the Birth of Christ on Earth,
specifically in Israel out of all the nations that YHVH promised a
‘Star would come out of Jacob’. One theory in particular ascribes the
Star of David hexagram alignment of March 2, -5
BC as being the literal ‘Star of Bethlehem. By mere examination, it
would seem like an ideal candidate but there are several issues that
cast some doubt on its correlation. For one, if this was the Star of
Bethlehem, it would put the age of Christ over 3 years
old by the time the Magi came to Bethlehem for the presentation. This
would go beyond the 2 year limit set by Herod to have every male enfant
of 2 years of less be slaughtered in Bethlehem and the surrounding
villages. Another doubt about this configuration
is that the alignment occurred astronomically in the sidereal zodiac,
meaning Sun-centered. This means that the skies would seem not to have
any real pattern in the observable human eyes from Earth’s perspective
that the average looker of the skies could at
least take note of. It would not have been as powerful as the triple
and double conjunctions of Jupiter and then all the accompanying
retrogrades of Venus, Mercury and Jupiter itself and precise times
related to the conjunctions that could be observed by the
people at night.
One aspect about the Star of David hexagram configuration that is
amazing when observed is that it occurred at a phi ratio factor of time
in-between 2 sets of partial solar eclipses and a set of total blood
moons according to NASA. Also the end of the 2nd total
blood moon coincided with the beginning of a 2 part conjunction of
Venus with Regulus that were 9 months and about 20 days apart,
approximating the gestation term of humans. Realize that the trip from
Susa, Iran where the royal palace of the Persians was at
is exactly 666 nautical miles to Bethlehem in a straight line but
having to take the trade route the trip nonetheless would have taken
about a month, 30 days at most. The point being is that by the time the
Magi would have followed this particular ‘star’ configuration,
it would have not existed any longer to have ‘stopped’ over Bethlehem.
If the Magi would have arrived soon after the Star of David alignment,
there were no retrogrades of Jupiter or Venus in Virgo the following
year to have had the appearance that a ‘star’ had ‘stopped’ over the
southern skies of Bethlehem. If the Magi had come
during the triple conjunctions of Regulus this could have been the
‘star’ they followed but neither Jupiter nor Venus ‘stopped’ long enough
during that time as Jupiter did when it ‘stopped’ in Virgo just before
going into its retrograde. This is not to say
that this magnificent astronomical sign could be that ‘Star of
Bethlehem’ but based on the Gospel accounts, there was a ‘star’ or
planet that did ‘stop’ over Bethlehem, as in a retrograde in conjunction
to a Blood Moon no less that this study supposes was
the time of the actual visitation of the Magi during the time around
the Winter Solstice of -2 BC. The Star hexagram could not have
accomplished this astronomically.
The Matthew account of the Star of Bethlehem did not correlate to this
Star of David configuration hexagram. For one, it did not nor could not
stay ‘stationary’ for more than one day as the plants move and are at
different stations the next day that would invalidate
the configuration from there on out. This was not the case with
Jupiter’s retrograde in -2 BC over Bethlehem. According to the
astronomical computer software, that ‘stopping’ of a star did happen
with Jupiter after the triple and double conjunctions of Jupiter
over the southern night skies of Bethlehem in the constellation Virgo.
Again, this is something that would be impossible for the hexagram to
have portrayed.
Thus
this study suggests that perhaps the celestial hexagram of -5 BC was a
sort of ‘heads-up’, a preamble of the royal announcement that the Royal
King was to be born shortly as the Star of
David astronomical alignments are said to occur when kings are birthed
or in this case, about to be birthed. Another issue with the timing of
this configuration of the Star of David is that due to its celestial
depiction, it is clearly alluding to a metaphorical
rendition of a ‘man’ upon a cross, thus the Cosmic Crucifixion that
this study alludes to actually being the sign of the ‘death’ of the
coming King that is to be birthed. Also the actual alignment from a
purely solar system top view does not produce an equilateral
triangle hexagram, it is slightly suggestive. It is only in the
sidereal astronomical chart configuration that it does and this is
man-made. Yet in both there are some amazing attributes that will be
noted. For one, in the sidereal composition, the points
of the ‘Star of David’ are exactly aligned with Scorpio and Taurus
which incorporates the cardinal stars of Antares and Aldebaran.
This would make the center dividing line of the hexagram perpendicular
to the other 2 cardinal stars of Regulus and Fomalhault, that of Leo and
Aquarius. These allude to the 4 Living Creatures of the Lion, Bull,
Eagle and Man Seraphim that are before the very
Throne of YHVH according to the Bible. The other triangle corners of
the hexagram were in alignment with Capricorn and Cancer making its
center line perpendicular with Aries and Libra, which constitutes as the
Cardinal Cross. Another unique observation that
the Hexagram Star of David portrays is the opposition of the
corresponding stations of Virgo with Pisces at 180 degrees. What is
prominent is that Earth is in Virgo and Uranus in Pisces during this
time.
These 2 symbols would later become the trademark of Messiah’s miracles
associated with the 2 Fish and 5 Loaves of Bread. This to a certain
extent validates the sign of the Messiah in that Virgo has in her hands
the ‘seed’ alluding to the Promised Seed of the
Woman in the Garden of Eden that would crush the ‘sons of Seth’, i.e.,
Lucifer and his AntiChrist. In the region of Spica, there are a cluster
of stars that are associated with the seed of corn/wheat, etc. Pisces is
rendered as 2 Fish in the Mazzaroth in that
it alludes to how the Messiah would redeem both Israel and the
Gentiles. Uranus is associated with the son of the Gods.
Astrological Time
According to the research of John Charles Webb, perhaps the sign of the
Star of David of -5 BC was the actual sign that the Precession of the
Equinox was to transfer to the next ‘new age’, that of Pisces from the
previous Age of Aries. This ‘ages’ are said
to last about 2000 years. How this number is attained is rather
simplistic and pure mathematics. The concept is based on the time and
the numerical factor of 60, as in 60 seconds, 60 minutes, 12 hours in a
day and night 30 days to a month, 12 months to a years
that correlate to each ‘house’ or station the Sun takes to travel
through each sign or house of the Mazzaroth. Thus 1 year is how much
time the Sun takes to complete one full revolution or circuit from start
to finish of the Zodiac, much like the hands of
a clock do. This same mathematical principle can be amplified into a
quantum of time that since a circle has 360 degrees, 1 degree thus would
equal 72 years, meaning the Sun would revolve around the Zodiac 72
times to move the ‘big hand’ of the celestial clock
1 degree forward.
Thus
each of the 12 Signs or Houses of the Zodiac constitutes 30 degrees.
Note that this is presuming that the perspective is from Earth. In
actuality, it is a ‘mirror’ image in that the Sun
is actually moving backwards because the Earth is rotating in a forward
motion, etc. The point being that with this simplistic and basic
numerical calculation, the time the Sun lasts in 1 Zodiac Sign in a
Grand Year of the Precession of the Equinox can be
calculated as follows.
72 years x 30 degrees = 2,160 year
360 years x 72 degrees = 25,920 years (1 Great Year)
2,160 years x 360 degrees = 777,600 years
This
Great Year of 25,920 years is what it takes the Sun to traverse the
entire precession of the constellations and each station is referred to
as an Age or Epoch. Have in mind that if the age of Pisces
started with the hexagram Star of David in -5 BC and one factors in the
2015 years since 1 AD then in essence the real count would be the year
2020.
2020 – 2160 = 140 year difference
The
140 year difference is miniscule in comparison to the over time frame
of the totality of the Precession. This means that within a generation
and a half, the next real and mathematical change
in the sign of the Sun’s precession would commence in the sign of
Aquarius. Others stipulated that in some cases due to miscounting of
years and calendars, the time span is shorter and that in fact in one
assertion, the year 2012 was a candidate of such a
transition, at least astronomically. Precession is the apparent
backwards movement, as viewed from the Earth of the outer universe that
proceeds at the rate of approximately 1 degree every 72 years.
Precession is used for the measurement of the length in time
of an astrological Age. An astrological Age is 2160 years in length and
that figure is determined by the length of time that it takes for the
Sun to move backwards through one complete astrological Sign. This
calculation is obtained by multiplying
30 degrees x 72 years = 2160 years.
Another possible assertion as to how many see that this present Piscean
Age is about to switch in the next few coming years is that when Jesus
stated to His Disciples about His 2nd Coming. Jesus stated to
them that ‘if the time was not cut short,
no flesh would be left alive’. This condition could be alluding to the
actual adjustment of a celestial recalibration of time to shorten the
astronomical duration of an epoch of ‘Age’ of time as Jesus was directly
referencing the dimension of ‘time’. Although
this model of time spans beyond the Biblical account of Genesis
referred to the Young Earth theory, one has to ascertain the notion of
the Old Earth theory in conjunction to this reckoning of time as the
model stipulates eons of time beyond the physical creation
account of Genesis 1:2. This study suggests that Genesis 1:2 is a
recreation or refashioning of a pre-existing Creation of Genesis 1:1. As
spectacular as this notion appears this would validate other theories
for example like the Great Pyramid that in some
instances has been calculated to have been constructed around 10,000BC.
Why could this be possible? It is because as the Bible correlates a
proportion on time, as being 1 day is as a 1000, then the possible
theory of a 7 day Creation correlating to a 7000 year plan for mankind
is noted. This stipulation solely based on the age
of certain monuments on earth would put events on Earth far earlier
than the creation of Humanity of Genesis 1:2. This would lend some
credence as to the notion that prior forms of life perhaps inhabited the
Earth, before Atlantean cataclysm. Some assert that
these could have been Fallen Angels etc. Perhaps such was the time of
the Luciferian rebellion against YHVH as described in Ezekiel and
Isaiah.
Some
scholars argue that all this timing of Christ’s possible birth can be
pegged and/or fixed around the purported death of Herod in -4 BC and
thus the hexagram alignment must be that ethereal
‘Star of Bethlehem’. It was also equated that Herod died on a total
blood moon, but there were none in -4 BC according to NASA’s
calculations. First there is the discrepancy of date setting of when
‘BC’ really started. Moreover, Herod was a family name in
that one of his sons was also named Herod so it could have alluded to
this Herod. Then there is the question of what Jewish calendar is being
used and the discrepancy of several days eliminated due to the
conversion from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar.
The names of the months of the western year calendar based on the Latin
is off too as a whole month of ‘August’ in honor of Augustus Caesar was
factored in which throw off the sequence at least in terms of the
nomenclature.
The
point is that there is for sure a discrepancy of what was the actually
year as it can be argued that there might have been a need to calibrate
the timeline around the BC to AD timeframe.
For example, the next Star of David hexagram that occurred according to
the research of
John Charles Webb happened around 28 AD
that this study suggests also suggests could have correlated with the
baptism of Jesus Christ at the Jordan and the start of the 3.5 year
ministry or 42 month that led to the Passover
crucifixion. The main difference is that this study points out that if
the Star of David of -5BC was the star corresponding to the birth of
Christ, the age of Jesus at His baptism would be thus 32 years old and
not 33 year old when He died as most assert was
His age at the time of the crucifixion. Most erroneously assume that
since AD stared with Christ’s birth, and that Jesus die at the age of
33, He must have been 33 years old.
Summation
To
reiterate, it is this study’s supposition that the Star of David of
March 2, -5 BC is marking-off a 3 years countdown that would correlate
to March in -2 BC. There could also be a possible
count of the Jewish 1260 days of 42 months of 30 days. This time would
coincide with the time of the Passover in which this study strongly
suggests was the actual time Jesus was born. The conjunctions of Jupiter
with Regulus and Venus were in fact the visible
signs announcing the birth of Christ to this effect. To the unlearned,
such occurrences in the sky might have gone unnoticed in the everyday
struggle to survive but realize that in the ancient times, but even the
common people were more in tuned with the movements
and meaning of the skies.
The economy in those days, as it still is to this day in some parts of
the world, was based on the growing seasons aligned to the solstices and
equinoxes that served as a big clock and watches for the common people
even. As far as the hexagram alignment in
28 AD is concerned, this study suggests that perhaps when Jesus went
out to the Jordan River to be identified in the place of a fallen
Humanity needing redemption, that it was just prior to a Passover feast
as John the Baptist called out to identify and ‘select’
the Lamb for the Passover. This would be the initiation and the start
of Christ’s Earthly public ministry for 3.5 year or 42 months. Again
realize that the 42 month period is consisting of a Jewish count of 30
day months or
42 months x 30 days = 1260 days.
This specific time was not when many allege Jesus ‘became the christ’ or Jesus esoterically opened His 3rd
Eye of enlightenment. Ironically this 42 month time period is the same
duration of time that the LORD will allow the coming AntiChrist full
reign upon the Earth. According to the book of Daniel and Revelation, at
the end of the AntiChrist’s kingdom of the 42 months, the true King
will return to put an end to the Tribulation and
establish His Kingdom on Earth. As to this 7000 year time frame
concerning Humanity, the book of Revelation does specify a time period
that ‘and they will reign with Christ on Earth for a 1000 years’. This
is called the Millennium. Many Christians actually
refute this description of a literal established Kingdom on Earth and
have allegorized it as a metaphor as much as the ‘Star of Bethlehem’ or
the Flood of Noah and not to be taken literally.
If this were to be the case, the Christ’s promise of His 2nd coming to
His Disciples at the Upper Room during Jesus’ last Passover would thus
also be metaphorical and not to take place literally. Thus this would
mean that there was no Resurrection, no subsequent
Resurrection and Rapture or the Church, no final Judgment of the wicked
and no New Earth and Heaven for that matter. The point being is that
theologically, one cannot have the stated Promises of YHVH without
Jesus’ 1st Advent, nor Christ’s 2nd Coming…they
are not mutually exclusive. As sure as the Jesus’ birth came to pass
miraculously of a Virgin at the appointed time, so too will His promised
Return at a precise and particular time that are perhaps correlating to
some astronomical conjunction and/or alignment
yet to be discovered.
