Repeating-Matching Purim Blood Moon Lunar Eclipses of 70-71 AD and 2016-2026.

Welcome to the March 2026 Blog everyone! This month has witnessed key Middle East developments with Iran, Israel and the US, as we find ourselves in a critical time marked astronomically by omnious notable Celestial signs of Repeating Eclipses reflected, as 3 current Purim Eclipse Tetrads in a row, set against their ancient counterparts in Queen Esther’s Bible text-the Book of Esther, 1st in a Series of Repeating-Matching Blood Moon Eclipses opened starting in 480 BC. This has singular bearing in light of current world events related to the present state of Israel and the United States, against a modern fundamentalist terror state in Iran-ruled by Anti-Semetic/US radical Muslim clerics and their proxies, until recently led by Ali Khamenei, with a majority of his top leaders-until they were taken out by Israeli and US forces.

These Celestial Signs directly refer to this weeks’ 3/3/2026 Purim Blood Moon, the 3rd of 3 Purim Blood Moon Eclipses in a Row in 2024-2026! It’s interesting that Blood Moons are Biblically mentioned only 3 times -[Joel 2:31, Acts 2:20, and Revelation 6:12], as these Blood Moons link to end-time events. Thus, the events tied to Blood Moons deserve our focused attention, especially as they  relate to Israel today! Thus its with heightened interest that we take special note of a 3rd Blood Moon in a row from 2024-2026 that occurred the morning of March 3rd 2026, as the last Blood Moon till 2029! The last time there was a set of Triple Lunar Eclipses on Purim, was from 1978-1980; when the radical Islamic revolution in Iran took place! Before then, there were triple sets in 1959-1961 and in WW2 from 1940-1942! But none of these were visible from Israel. This cycle of 3 Consecutive Annual Purim Blood Moons is thus a very rare event in history, surely demanding our undivided attention. 

Even more when we consider how this cycle of 3 Purim Blood Moon Eclipses in a Row matches the Repeating Eclipse Tetrads from 480BC to 469BC during Queen Esther’s Reign in ancient Persia, confirms added reasons to reognize related Middle Eastern events. This is specially true as we realize this week’s specific match with a 3rd Purim Blood Moon Eclipse in a row, on March 3rd, 2026- a Repeating Purim Blood Moon Eclipse that occurred 3/3/478 BC seen in Chart #3 below, matching the exact date in 478 BC during Esther’s Reign in ancient Persia! This celestial replay echoes battles faced by Queen Esther against the Evil Haman, who was also bent on Jewish Genocide in ancient Persia, as Iran-the largest world sponsor’s of terror for nearly the last 50 years have incessantly vowed “death to America” and Israel.

A Comparison Chart #2 below shows an Eclipse Season, or-“A period of about a month, occurring about every 6 months, as orbits of the Earth, Sun, and Moon align such that Solar and Lunar eclipses occur. During this season, the “lunar nodes” – the line where the Moon’s orbital plane intersects the Earth’s orbital plane – align with the Sun and Earth, such that a solar eclipse is formed during the new moon phase and a lunar eclipse forms during the full moon phase. #1

In 2015 when the Penumbral Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse on Purim Feast took
place during a Hebrew Jubilee Year, it drew our focus for the following reasons. First, shortly after the 2014-2015 Blood Moon Tetrad- a 5th Lunar Eclipse fell on the key Hebrew Feast Day of Purim, as no small matter added to the Blood Moon Tetrad of 2014-2015, showed us a first ever Blood Moon Quintet in 2014-2016! Purim, thus effected Hebrew timekeeping by marking the Jubilee Year.

The uniqueness of the 2016 Jubilee Year was that Purim fell on March 23rd, on the exact time the Lunar Eclipse took place, although as a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse, the entire Lunar surface was not fully eclipsed. It fell 120 days after The Super Blood Moon on September 28, 2015, the last of the 2014-2015 Blood Moon Tetrad. This September 28th, 2015 date happens to Match the Repeating Lunar Eclipse falling on 9/28/2026 in Comparison Chart #3 above, reflecting a Lunar Eclipse on the same date during Queen Esther’s Reign in 478BC! This not only affords us a direct astronomical link mirroring the list of Celestial Signs of 2014-2015, but also keys to the significance of Rev. 12 sign unions of Jupiter–Venus and Venus–Regulus marking the Birth of Christ in his Celestial Encore. [Ties to Plate 3 Info]

There is some confusion about the numerics and operation of the Jubilee Cycle. Jubilee Years are based on the Shemitah Years occurring every 7th year. Seven Shemitahs (7×7=49 years is Shemitah of Shemitah’s). The year following the 7th Shemitah is a Jubilee. The Jubilee Year after the 7th Shemitah becomes the 50th year. However, if the Shemitah cycle continues every 7 years, then the next Jubilee year becomes the first of the next Shemitah cycle, where a next Jubilee follows 49 years after the first. But, if we start a next Shemitah cycle after the Jubilee then you have Jubilee years occurring every 50 years, but, this breaks the 7 year cycle. Bible scholars remain in disagreement as to which version is right. There is a method based on a 49 year cycle that keeps the 7-year cycle intact, which makes the most sense.

Specifically, Purim began on the Hebrew Calendar on Wednesday evening, March 23, 2016 through Thursday night, March 24^th. It was also the first full Moon after the Spring Equinox. As a key transition to the last decade of 2015-2026 these Purim Feast Blood Moons set the stage for the appearance of the 3 Purim Eclipses in a Row; opening Repeating Matching Eclipses in 2024-2034!

One cannot help, but be struck by the unique and very rare occurrence of a Tetrad of Four Blood Moons during the Shemitah of Shemitah’s, followed by the Jubilee coming with yet another Lunar Eclipse on Purim, forming a Quintet of Blood Moons on Hebrew Feast & Holidays from 2014-2016! This 2014-2015 Blood Moon Tetrad followed on Wednesday evening, March 23, 2016 to Thursday night, March 24^th as another Purim Lunar Eclipse to set a transitional link to 3 2024-2026 Purim Eclipses in a row, to bond Queen Esther’s ancient era to modern times via Purim Lunar Eclipses. This bond ties Esther’s Purim Lunar Eclipses to modern Iran, as Haman foreshadows the intended Genocide of Israel by Modern Iran, motivated by the same spiritual adversary who has always opposed Israel as the source of Jesus Christ-the Promised Seed. 

The Announcement of the Messiah’s Reign

A Psalm of David.
110:1 The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” ² The Lord shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion. Rule in the midst of Your enemies!

³ Your people shall be volunteers In the day of Your power; In the beauties of holiness, from the womb of the morning, You have the dew of Your youth. ⁴
 The Lord has sworn And will not relent, “You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.” [Heb. 7:10-28]

Ps. 110:4 provides another critical aspect of the Lord’s ministry to Israel and all Mankind; as High Priest. In the Jerusalem Temple as the Tabernacle, the High  Priest always performed a special sacrifice once a year in the Holy of Holies, at the Ark of the Covenant, to cover the sins of Israel on the Day of Atonement. Since the blood of bulls and goats could never satisfy the requirements of man’s complete redemption, a more perfect sacrifice was needed, embodied in Jesus Christ as the Passover Lamb and High Priest, not of Aaron’s Priesthood, but after the everlasting priesthood of Melchizedek. This Righteous Priest–king symbolized in Jupiter–the king planet, called the Zedek planet–a Hebrew word for “righteousness,” typified in the Messiah, Jesus Christ the Righteous King. Genesis 49:8-10 says this scepter is from Leo the Lion of Judah. The brightest star in Leo, the royal tribe out of Jacob’s seed is Regulus, meaning “king,“ in Hebrew–Melech. Thus the Jupiter-Regulus triple coronation in 3-2 BC, at the birth of Christ not only crowned the righteous King, but also forms the two elements of the title “Melchizedek,” reflected in the triple union of Jupiter– Venus in Leo, as these two brightest planets were aligned in Regulus in the Summer and Fall of 2015. Here we find two of three callings of Christ as Prophet, Priest and King.

Figure 2. Christ the High Priest

In this light we can understand Balaam’s great prophecy in Numbers 24, below where the star, also identified with the scepter, is coming out of Jacob.

 Num. 24:17 “I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh, there shall come a star out of Jacob, and a sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and he shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.”

This background is designed to set the context for the current conjunctions and celestial events from 2024-2026 covered above, marking current war involving the US & Israel with Iran. The context includes a decade of Celestial signs in the list above from 2016-2026.

 The Venus–Jupiter union, May 23, 2024, was one that occured too close to the Sun for easy observation, although the August 12, 2025, conjunction was easily visible before sunrise. These key Jupiter–Venus unions occur during the 2024-2026 current Triple set of Purim Lunar Eclipses-a table below lists an outline for the next 3 Venus–Jupiter conjunctions, in 2026-2028.

Last year’s two “blood moons” came as Israel arrived during a final stage of the military campaign to defeat Hamas and free Gaza from its terrorist infestation. On the heels of Israeli and US efforts to end the Iranian nuclear threat with direct military strikes inside Iran.

With that uncertain geopolitical stage as a backdrop, the world just saw a “Ring of fire” Solar Eclipse on Feb. 17, 2026. On Feb. 27-28, 2026 the Planets aligned for US & Israel’s strike on Iran, set to be followed by a 3rd consecutive “Purim Blood Moon” on March 3, 2026, a few days later. The second eclipse, the “blood moon,” lasted nearly an hour on March 3, 2026, visible across the America’s, Asia & Australia. This culminates 3 months later in a June 9th, 2026 post-sunset Jupiter–Venus Union, with only a 1.6° gap in between planets. To complete the four Solar and Lunar eclipses of 2026 we can see an Aug. 12, 2026, Total Solar Eclipse, in Comparison Chart #3 above of Repeating Eclipse Tetrads for 2026 AD Matching 478 BC & Aug 27–28, 2026 — Partial Lunar Eclipse as seen below.

The first of those events is a “ring of fire” eclipse where the Moon passes in between Earth and Sun, without entirely eclipsing the Sun, allowing a halo of its fiery glow to still be seen. The “ring of fire,” also known as an Annular Solar eclipse, will mainly be visible in southern South America, Africa, and the Atlantic.
The third major celestial event of this year, a Total Solar Eclipse, then passes over the Arctic Ocean, Greenland, Iceland, the Atlantic Ocean, Portugal, and northern Spain.

The Feb. 17, 2026 “ring of fire” and the Aug. 12 Total Solar Eclipse also kick off a new series of eclipses in each category. Space.com is calling this unique set of events “a Golden Age of Solar Eclipses.” From 2026 to 2028, Earth encounters a double eclipse cascade — 3 total solar eclipses (August 2026, August 2027 &  July 2028) with 3 annular solar eclipses (February 2026, February 2027 & Jan. 2028) — a repetition of a pattern last seen from 2008 to 2010. #9

The “rings of fire” occur in Feb. 2026, Feb. 2027, and Jan. 2028. Then, in August, we will kick off a stretch of 3 Total Solar eclipses in just 710 days. The three Total Solar Eclipses occur on August 12, 2026, August 2027, and July 2028.

‘A Golden Age of Solar Eclipses’: 3 Total Eclipses & 3 ‘Rings of Fire’ in 3 Years! Starting Feb. 17, we find a cycle of 3 “Ring of fire” Eclipses within just three years, as well as a series of three Total Solar Eclipses within the same three years! This symmetrically reflects God’s Judgement on Israel linked to Hebrew Mysteries reflected in Eclipses and the 27 [9×3] Historical Seiges of Jerusalem below.

In the Blood Moon on March 14, 2025, the lunar surface turned red for more than an hour over North and South America. The second Blood Moon- Sept. 7th, 2025, lasted 82 minutes and was visible over Europe, Asia, Africa, & Australia.

The Third Blood Moon in this Series arrived on a 3rd Jewish Purim Holiday, on March 3, 2026, [3×3]. It was visible for nearly an hour from Asia to parts of North America. When we consider the very rare 3 consecutive Purim Blood Moon Lunar Eclipses from 2024-2026 that precedes this “golden age of solar eclipses,” we should not view it as coincidental, as it provides 3 sets of 3 distinct types of Eclipses, opening a Series of Repeating Matching Eclipses that agree over the next 7 years, mirroring the years 480 BC-469 BC, during the Biblical reign of Queen Esther & Mordecai while they foiled a Genocide plot against the Jews in ancient Persia, of the evil Haman during her Reign.

As the 2025 Purim Lunar Eclipse moved in process between Leo and Virgo, it moved exactly where the Head of Virgo was Crowned near the Tail of Leo, as the Moon passed from the constellation Leo, the Lion the coming Lion King-Jesus, to Virgo, the virgin, or bride, joining the Head of the woman Virgo to the body of the Lion-Leo to form the Celestial Sphinx., a key Celestial sign marking Jupiter’s triple crowning of Regulus at Christ’s Birth. [Fig. 3 Below]

Comparing these heavenly signs near the birth of Christ, with the signs of the modern Blood Moon Tetrad leading to 2017, as Jupiter’s annual retro motion entered Virgo in Aug. 26-27th 2016, for a total of 294 days, into 2017, it remained 40 days in Virgo’s mid-section, to foreshadow the birthing of the Messiah’s Kingdom. Jupiter marked its entrance into Virgo with a 2nd Jupiter–Venus union in 2016. This gets our attention to indicate a key event in the King Planet–Jupiter linked to his virgin Bride–with Virgo’s Crowning of Leo’s 9 stars plus 3 added planets of Mercury, Venus and Mars aligned to the Regulus King star in Leo, totaling 12 stars in Virgo’s Crown. This not only alerted us to watch for the Sun Clothing Virgo leading directly to these signs of 9-23-2017, but it also shows the Great Pyramid’s Christ Angle alignment of Venus–Regulus in Leo, in this key sign of the Giza Plateau reflecting the Celestial Sphinx, near Sept. 20, 2017. [Rev. 1:8, 11-17, 20- Jesus as Alpha & Omega] [Rev. 21: 3-7, 22:12-13, 16]

Figure 3. The Celestial Sphinx. The Head of the Woman and the Body of the Lion seen as a Birth Sign of Christ on Sept. 14th, 3 BC, on the eastern horizon from Jerusalem forming the elements of the Great Sphinx, and marking the first Jupiter-Regulus Conjunction in Leo. #12

We find these landmarks at the head and tail of the zodiac, that adds light to Dr. Martin’s observation that: “the woman Virgo is the Constellation of Headship for all 12 signs. Virgo’s head position is found in the last 10 degrees of Leo.”13

Virgo’s head is seen in Fig. 3, just below and adjacent to the star Denebola in the tail of the Lion, unifies the circle of the zodiac. The Sphinx also unifies the Biblical Canon, establishing the canonical order of God’s written revelation, in Genesis to Revelation, in the Bible’s earliest book of Job, [Job 19:23-25]. Even as Christ embodies the Alpha-Omega [Rev. 1:9-20] both in the Celestial Gospel, and Mazzaroth Signs, but in the Scripture’s also from Genesis to Revelation.

Jon Nessle taught us the record in his recent 8/15/23 Session 1b of Chapter 5 in the OT History class, as Persian King Darius I–reached his golden scepter to his beautiful Queen Esther, [Est. 5:1-3] upon entering royal courts uninvited, to save his Jewish populace, from Haman’s plan for Jewish genocide in Persia. #14 With a futuristic view, Cassiopeia may also embody the saved bride of Christ, he delivered. Even as King Darius I saved all Israel with his extended scepter, so Christ has saved all Israel and his Church, who embody 2 versions of Christ’s Bride, and the “Woman” of Rev. 12:1-2, 4-6, 13-17. Cepheus as Christ is enthroned  over the Northern Pole Star; set his foot “Al Ruccaba” depicted in a time-lapse photo below, shows how all the stars revolve around the King of Kings. [I Cor. 15:24-28].

These signs and constellations at the North Pole, or circumpolar stars are reflective of the “Royal Family” since they never set. The ancients called them the imperishables. With the King’s right foot standing over his penned and guarded sheep of Ursa Minor, we can see Jesus the Shepherd protecting his flock of the “little dipper” from his enemies, that will be trodden underfoot.

Figure 3. Cepheus Decan with Cassiopeia and Ursa Minor.#15

Even in a veiled mythology we find in the light of the narrative of a returning Good Shepherd-redeemer shining through to deliver his flocks, whom he laid down his life for.

“Star out of Jacob and a scepter shall rise out of Israel“; Star=[H3556; kowkab] #16. Figuratively an illustrious Prince who is the star rising from Jacob, holding the scepter as ruler over Israel. We notice a figure of speech utilized in this verse regarding the authority of the scepter held by the Prince. 

This “star” linked with the scepter rising out of Israel, is a celestial reference to the sign of Leo the Lion with specific implications first for it’s brightest luminary, of the Lion.” The King’s scepter is the symbol of his power over the heathens and those who oppose his purposes, as he will rule over them with  a “rod of iron,” or unbending authority, [Ps. 2, Rev. 19:15].

As we consider the import of the Penumbral Lunar Eclipses in 2016, and the 2nd Purim Blood Moon, of March 2025, we uncover relations to the 70 AD Penumbral Lunar Eclipses to seal the Roman’s destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem. This also seals God’s Judgment on Israel  seen in the history of the Sieges of Jerusalem, totaling 27 in number; [9×3] including 3-a number of divine completeness related to Judgment=9. This Siege of Jerusalem is a 20th instance, in the history of Israel, carried out by forces under Roman Titus in 70 AD, as the Temple was burnt in spite of Titus’ orders against it .#17

The following summary from our Biblical Blood Moon Calendar post, shows the 70 AD Roman Temple Destruction as Jesus Prophesied, [Matt. 24:1-2]. I’ve added the 3 Consecutive Purim Eclipses, from 2024-2026 picking up where a 3/4/71 AD Purim Lunar Eclipse dropped off in 71 AD, that reveals a direct link between Prince Titus‘ 70 AD destruction of the Jerusalem Temple preceding the Temple’s ruin, marked by the 3/30/70 AD Total Solar Eclipse on Nisan 1 as the 2nd entry on the Figure 4 Solar & Lunar Eclipses of 69-71 AD. This not only links Prince Titus as a forerunner of the end-times AntiChrist, but also ties to the 8/27/70 AD Rev. 12 Sign, with a Jupiter–Venus union in Leo’s hind paw [see Plate 1 below] as another repeating Matching date reflecting 8/27/2026.

Notes of interest on the Comparison Chart below refer to the Nisan 1–Total Solar Eclipse on 3/30/70 above, mirrored in the upcoming Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse in the 3/30/2033 Eclipse Season during Esther’s reign in 3/31/471BC. This Matches not only the 3/31/471 BC Comparison Chart below, but also the aligns

Please refer to the Comparison Chart for Repeating Eclipses from modern AD dates of 2024-2033 to BC dates of Ancient Israel/Persia under King Darius I-Queen Esther, from 480-469 BC.#18 

The 69-71 AD Blood Moon Tetrad marking the Roman’s destroying the Temple 400 years after the Repeating Matching Eclipses of Esther & Mordecai from 469-480 BC is reflected also in the Solar & Lunar eclipses of 2016, leading to the 2017 rewind of the Great Wonder of Rev. 12:1-2. Amazingly, another version of this Rev. 12 Celestial Wonder takes place on August 27th, in 70 AD, [Plate 1.] below, between a 4/14/70 Passover Lunar Eclipse, and a 9/23/70 AD Rosh Hashanah Solar Eclipse! The idea that the Rev. 12 sign appears in the 69-71 AD Eclipse Tetrad with an 3/4/71 Purim Partial Lunar Eclipse sets an early precedent linking the Rev. 12 sign with a Jupiter–Venus Union, in a context of Purim Blood Moon Lunar eclipses.

Plate 1. The Rev. 12 sign on August 27th, 70 AD: with a Jupiter–Venus union! #19

The woman’s 1st level Crown of 12 stars, with Jupiter and Venus in such close union, they appear to merge into one star in a singular light, foreshadowing a Jupiter–Venus union near Christ’s birth in 2 BC, except this time they are seen in Leo’s lower rear paw, establishing Virgo’s 1st level crown, [Plate. 2] below showing the first level of Virgo’s Crown focusing on 12 stationary stars over Virgo’s head, around Leo’s tail with the star Denebola, and a 70 AD Jupiter–Venus union in Leo’s hind paw.

Plate 2. The first level of Virgo’s stellar Triple Crown.#20

These 12 immobile stars are constant, unlike the stars of the 2nd level Crowning of Virgo seen in the nine constant stars of Leo along with key planetary formations at prophetic times in celestial history. Therefore, a first level Crown of 12 stars provides an constant witness to the celestial Crowning of the Woman-Virgo, all year around, not just on special days to open the Hebrew calendar in Tishri, [Christ’s Birth] at the inception of the Hebrew Civil Year when the Sun clothes Virgo. These 12 stars above Virgo’s head with the star Zavijava encircles Leo’s tail and lower hind leg [see Plate 1] with 4 stars in Virgo and 8 Leonine stars.

As the Sun clothes Virgo with the Moon near her feet, the King Planet Jupiter & Venus align with Mercury-Gabriel at the King Star Regulus in Leo, forming a 2nd level crowning of Virgo, with 3 extra planets. The focus of this version of the Rev. 12;1-2 Sign, is it occurs central in the Eclipse Tetrad–sealing the 70 AD destruction of Jerusalem’s Temple. This was also the last time Israel ruled Jerusalem till the 6-day war of 1967, marked by a 1967-68 Blood Moon Tetrad.

This 1st level Virgo crowning also foreshadowed a Celestial Sphinx prophecy of Christ’s birth-3 days before the first of 3 Jupiter–Regulus unions marking the birth of Christ 9/11 in 3-2 BC, this triple crowning of Regulus mirroring the Triple Crowning of Virgo.

It is key to note if a ripe Barley determination was made by the Total Solar Eclipse on March 9th, 2016 it would also have aligned with Nisan 1, as seen above with the same sign on 3/30/70 AD! As remarkable as this comparison of Solar and Lunar eclipse signs between 70 AD and 2016 is, it’s more striking when we consider their relation to Purim Eclipses! As seen in the above Eclipse Comparison Chart; a Purim Blood Moon in 71 AD was the last Purim Lunar Eclipse we can find till 1959. a Total Purim Lunar Eclipse in 2016. We can see intriguing parallels here as these Solar & Lunar eclipses marked a destruction of the Jerusalem Temple in 70 AD, while today we await the return of the 3rd Temple in Jerusalem–a next logical step to fulfil Bible Prophecy, tracking with Israel’s reclamation of Jerusalem, with the 1967-68′ Blood Moon Tetrad, in the 6-day War with Egypt. Thus we find key aspects of Luni–Solar Eclipses, not only in 2016-17 but also again in 2024-2026 in alignment with the only set of 3 Purim Eclipses in a row on Hebrew Feasts that do not cluster as Blood Moon Tetrads over the last 2000 years!

Are there other links between Esther and the Rev. 12 Sign?

As we view elements of the 2nd Book of Esther we find strong viable links to the record of Rev. 12.

Revelation 12 records the Crowning of Virgo, that we have referenced in detail, even as Israel’s Queen/protector–Esther was Crowned by King Xerxes I in Est. 2:18 below, even inaugurating her own Purim Feast to her!

¹⁵ Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king’s chamberlain, the keeper of women, appointed. And Esther obtained favour [2580–chen; favor, grace, charm, 69x in OT, 47x– “find favor in the eyes of” often in relations of inferior-superior, in Prov. aesthetic charm or beauty from 2603; chanan-gracious inclination, favorable, kind, mercy, lovely, espec. to needy. 2604 Aram. equiv. Dan. 4:24, 6:12, implore favor.] #21 in sight of all them looking upon her. ¹⁶ So Esther was taken to king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in 7th year of his reign. ¹⁷ And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace [2580–chen]; and favor [2617-checed; the attitude of God’s Love, 1 Jn. 4:8, 16] that contains mercy in His Eternal Covenant relations with Israel, [Ps. 136]. The lovingkindness & benevolent beauty of God. From [2616–chacad; kind & merciful, 3x in OT, here, 2 Sam. 22:18-26, 40, Ps. 18.26.#22

This set Esther far above the other concubines of King Ahasuerus!] in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her Queen instead of Vashti. ¹⁸ Then the king made a great feast unto all his princes and his servants, even Esther’s feast; and he made a release to the provinces, and gave gifts, according to the state of the king.

 The figure Polysyndetyn; many “ands” emphasized the key elements of vs. 15 & 17, showing what set Esther apart from other women. Her amazing heart for God and her loving compassion for His people made all the difference for her. The Lion King’s Love for his Queen Esther is exemplary to Christ’s love for his Bride – the Church, was beyond compare [Eph. 5:21-33]. Thus she was worthy of Grace and Kingly Favor, resulting in the King crowning her whose wondrous grace and favor were as the Sun clothing her, and the Moon under her feet. So her head was crowned with 12 stars as she embodied the unity of God’s People.

These planetary unions were followed with added Jupiter–Venus unions that took place in Virgo in 2016-17. This Triple Conjunction of Jupiter–Venus, the two brighter stars in the heavens after the Sun and Moon, was notable especially with the addition of Mercury, [Rev. 5:5]. The dates above show Jupiter–Venus unions in Leo during the Hebrew Sabbatical/Jubilee year of 2015:

BLOOD MOON TETRAD 2014-2015 Summary

Sept. 13th 2015 [Partial Solar Eclipse-Rosh Hashanah]
Sept. 17th 2015 [Sun clothing Virgo with the Moon at her feet] Rev. 12
Sept. 17th 2015 [Mercury–Spica in Virgo]
Sept. 23rd, 2015 [Hebrew Jubilee Year opens on the Day of Atonement]
Sept. 28th 2015 [Final Super Blood Moon, Feast of Trumpets]
October 8th, 2015 [Venus–Regulus in Leo]

Super Blood Moon over Jerusalem

On Sept. 17th the Sun appears in Virgo clothing the stellar woman of Israel, with the Moon at her feet, as found in [Rev. 12]. For added emphasis the planet Mercury-Gabriel is in union also on the 17th, with Spica-Al Zimach. This star tells a unique story of the Messiah Jesus Christ’s 4-fold ministry as King in Matthew, Son of Man in Luke, Servant in Mark and Son of God, in John, as the Four Gospels relate the Ministry of Christ.

Viewing the ministry of Christ embodied in 7 feasts of Israel above, when we combine the narrative of Jesus‘ birth signs from [Rev. 12], that also relate the story of his victorious Second Coming seen in the dual significance of the Bible’s record in [Rev. 12], we find an emphasis placed on this theme by the Hand of the Almighty that can’t be ignored. As we’re in a generation of 1948’s reformed nation of Israel (fig tree) to witness the time of the Lord’s return we must heed Christ’s warning (Luke 21:32). As Christ said; “This generation shall not pass away until all these things take place.” (Matt. 24:32-34). The miracle signs God has shown to help Israel win wars vs. Arab-Muslim enemies, with far less troops and equipment, recalls Old Testament battles as God delivered His people.

The key celestial signs with our solar system planets of Christ’s Birth in 3-2 BC were 3 Jupiter–Venus unions, that forecast 3 Jupiter–Venus Conjunctions in 2015, with added Heavenly signs of Jupiter–Venus at his birth. On Aug. 27-28th of 3 BC, a Planetary massing of Jupiter–Venus & Mars held alignment of
3 planets, with king star Regulus in Leo, forming a 12 star Crown overhead of Virgo. This 2015 Rev. 12 sign planetary alignment in Leo; with Sun clothing Virgo and Moon at her feet] was repeated on Sept. 23rd, of 2017!

The Great Pyramid’s witness in Biblical Archaeo-Astronomy embodies [2 Peter 1:19-21], in Venus‘ Morning  Star alignment with Regulus at dawn on Rosh Hashanah, 9–23–2017, via the Christ angle measures in the Pyramid’s Ascending and Descending passages. If these heavenly signs point to a key future sunrise Dawning of The Lord’s Day to Return FOR his Saints, fore-shadowed in the Sept. 2017 signs, we will hold our Hope & faith in Christ–opening to Everlasting Righteousness in the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Year of Jubilee began on September 23, 2015, the Day of Atonement, two years to the day ahead of the 9-23-2017, Feast of Trumpets with the signs of the Great Pyramid alignments set to return in 2028, we must continue to serve the Lord, at the ready to walk through those “golden doors” that God will open for us.

Venus is well known for its 8-year cycle, whereby it returns to virtually the same spot in the starry heavens every 8 years. This is because Venus circles the Sun 13 times for every time Earth circles the Sun 8 times. This 8-year cycle means that Venus will again meet up with Regulus for super-close conjunctions in two years in early October 2028, 2036 and 2044. Will there be  a repeat of the Great Pyramid alignment with Venus–Regulus at that time? we will have to wait and see but we can predict a Venus–Regulus union with certainty in 2028 just as we saw in the last Venus–Regulus union we saw Oct. 2-3, 2020. #25

On the mornings of October 2 and 3, 2020, Venus (brighter) and the bright star Regulus appeared near one another in the east before sunup. Below is a the view from North America, as Venus is near .5 a degree above Regulus on Oct. 2 and near 0.5 degrees under Regulus on Oct. 3rd. Their union comes on Oct. 3rd @ 00:00 UTC, at when Venus passed only 0.1 degree south of Regulus.

The conjunction of Venus and Regulus on October 1, 2044, will be unique because Venus will actually occult (pass directly in front of) Regulus on that date. According to SKYCAL on the next three Venus–Regulus unions in October 2028, 2036 and 2044. Here are their findings:

October 2, 2028, at 06:44 UTC: Venus passes 0.1 degrees south of Regulus
October 1, 2036, at 20:00 UTC: Venus passes 0.1 degrees south of Regulus
October 1, 2044, at 09:21 UTC: Venus passes 0 degrees of Regulus (occultation)

Planetary occultations of 1st-magnitude stars are extremely rare. The last time it happened was when Venus occulted Regulus on July 7, 1959, and the next time will be when Venus occults Regulus on October 1, 2044.

The detailed prophecies contained in God’s Word are part of what makes the Bible unique among religious texts. Our God can “make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come” (Isaiah 46:10), and He has revealed significant events in the future, counting out the very days of those time periods.

Romans 8:22-23, “We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.” (NIV)

As we consider the impact of the Purim Blood Moon Lunar eclipse: that came to life before our eyes this past weekend.

Serving God with All our Heart Soul Mind and Strength.

Welcome to the February 2026 Blog, and God Bless everyone! The banner above for this teaching denotes the Plant, Animal, Human & Spirit Kingdoms of Life as four main Life categories where the Creator orders life on Earth. A theme of the topic reviews how varieties of four-fold Bible categories reflect a depth of truths in a rich comparison. We begin with the four Royal Tribes of the 12 Tribes of Israel, on a fitting night as we wrap up our Class on the Book of Hebrews.

Jacob’s Prophecy in Gen. 49 over his 12 sons is an initial instance where the 12 tribes of Israel are disclosed in greater detail than in Gen. 13:15 & 15:3-18, with Abram. Gen. 49:3-4 identifies Reuben-unstable as water-with Aquarius, Judah with Leo and the lion’s ruling Sceptre, [Gen. 49:8-10], Dan as a judge of his people, was a serpent [Gen. 49:16-17], and Joseph’s bow abode in Strength, Gen. 49:22-26 [H386-permanence, strong H6338-9 solidify & refine–the best gold] as Taurus the Bull.   

In Balaam’s Prophecy, the same imagery was repeated in a Num. 24 prophecy of Balaam on Israel’s destiny. He mentions that Israel “shall pour water out of his buckets” (Reuben/Water Bearer), “he lay down as a lion” (Judah/ Lion), he has “the strength of an unicorn” (Joseph/Bull), and shall “break their bones” as Eagle’s do as their claws crush their prey, like constrictor serpents (Dan; Num. 24:7-9). The fact that all four figures link to 4 Royal Tribes as corner-stones shows that this prophecy refers to constellations linked with these four main tribes of Israel at the four corners of the ecliptic, in Balaam’s prophecy in Num. 24 below.

Numbers 24:5-9-tells us here of Balaam’s Celestial Messianic prophecy;
⁵ How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel! ⁶ As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river’s side, as the trees of lign aloes which the Lord hath planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters. ⁷ He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted. ⁸ God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows. ⁹ He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee.

In verse 8 above the Hebrew word for “unicorn” is [H7214–reem] #1 also found in the Song of Moses, where it refers not only to a single horn but two horns of a bull. The root of Reem is Ra’am [7213] #2 meaning to rise, to be high or lifted up. The Strength [H8443–toapoth]#3 of a unicorn, is seen here and Num. 23:22]] & Ps. 22:11-21 refers figuratively to strong bulls that compassed the Lord on the cross, with ravening and roaring lions-an assembly of wicked inclosed him, piercing his hands and feet. When Jesus was poured out like water in Ps. 22:14 even as Aquarius the water bearer, Jesus bared his soul in sacrifice for us. 

Job 39:9-10; ⁹ Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?
 ¹⁰ Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? Or will he harrow the valleys after thee? ¹¹ Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? Or wilt thou leave thy labour to him? ¹² Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn?

Figure 2. Taurus the Bull from Bayer’s Star Atlas [1603] #4.

Deut. 33:16-17 Refers to Bull’s horns as Joseph’s Son’s Ephraim & Manasseh.

13 And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the LORD be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath, 14 And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon, 15 And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills, 16 And for the precious things of the earth and fulness thereof, and for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethren. 17 His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.

Here in Moses’ Song, he uses the same language found in Numbers 24 in the horns of the “reem” or “Unicorn,” as the KJV renders it. It is common knowledge that the popularly imagined unicorn, the mythical beast, is not pictured with more than one horn, like the Bull is. These Bull horns are identified with the sons of Joseph in verse 17. The Bull’s head is also one of the four heads of the Cherubim. The visions of Ezekiel tell us more;

 [Ezek. 1:5-6] ⁵ Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man. ⁶ And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings. 

According to Ezekiel the Cherubim each had four faces and four wings.]] Since angels operate as intermediaries between God and men, we find their traits in the Cherubim, first with four wings and faces at the four corners of heaven. They also had four hands of a man under each of their wings, depicting their service to God in heaven for men on Earth.

Figure 3. The Four Faces, Wings and Hands of the Cherubim

There is another element of dominion seen in the Cherubim in its four faces. In Man who is created after God’s image, with earthly dominion, the Lion as king of the wild animal kingdom. With the Bull as the king of domesticated animals, the Eagle is the king of the fowl of the air, [Gen. 1:26-28]. As we see in the graphic above, the Cherubim embody these four cornerstone signs of the Hebrew Mazzaroth at it’s four compass points and Cardinal Directions.

Exodus 36:35-36 provides details of the colors utilized in the veil of the Tabernacle depicting the Cherubim, as we consider some of this color symbolism in the services of the Tabernacle and Temple.

Exodus 36:35-36 And he made a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: with Cherubims made he it of cunning work. And he made there-unto four pillars of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold: their hooks were of gold; and he cast for them four sockets of silver.

The veil hung from four pillars, representing the terrestrial number, and the earth’s orientation to the four Cardinal Directions and points of the compass. The symbolism of the number four is prominent in the imagery above, not only in the four pillars holding the Tabernacle’s veil, but also in the four colors of the Tabernacle shown in the veil. The four colors are blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen. Blue represents peace, showing us the presence of God and is seen in the Son of God as the Prince of Peace. Purple represents royalty, and is seen in Christ the King of Kings. Scarlet or Red represents blood, and is seen in the Man Jesus Christ, the high priest offering the perfect sacrifice and sin offering of his own life for our redemption. The linen was White, a symbol of the purity and righteousness of the Servant of God. Thus the four colors of the Tabernacle collectively embody the four-fold ministry of Christ as the chief cornerstone in the four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, showing his dominion over all Creation. As we can seen, these four pillars link to the four Cardinal Directions, known as the equinox & Solstices on the ecliptic  and Equator as these four-corners of the heavens, square the circle of the ecliptic.

This Celestial depiction of the course that God set before the Lord Jesus Christ is seen in Psalms.

Ps. 19:4-6.
⁴ Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, ⁵ Which is as a bride-groom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. ⁶ His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

In Fig. 4 below we find a rendition of the Son/Sun of God running his course consisting of the four Cherubim at the Cardinal points of the Sun’s course on the Ecliptic, [Mal. 4:2-3].

Figure 4. The Four Celestial Signs at the four points of the Compass; Man, Eagle, Bull and Lion, with Christ in the center running his course.

Ps. 19:7-8 ⁷ The law of the Lord is perfect, converting [7725] the soul: [5315] the testimony [5715] of the Lord is sure, [539] making wise [2449] the simple.
⁸ The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: [3820]#5 the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.

Ps. 19:7-8 shows us a pairing of the Heart and Soul, so in the trials of our race,  we recover ourselves as we return in fellowship, and repentance to God in response to the daily challenges we face.

Ps. 19:14 ¹⁴ Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, [3820]#6 be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, [6697] and my redeemer.

The pairing of Heart and Strength [Ps. 18:1-2] shows The Lord as our Rock-one of the 7 Genesis titles of Christ in the OT. As we rely on the Lord’s Strength there is nothing we cannot overcome in our race.

Thus, the placement of all four of the royal stars in the cornerstone signs is consistent with the symbolism of emotional, spiritual, mental and physical aspects of all living human souls.

Figure 5. Aquila the Eagle above the Serpent-Serpens.

Ezekiel’s vision at the river Chebar describes these living creatures, specifically their four faces, matching the signs at the four Cardinal Directions of the ecliptic. As noted regarding the North, it was omitted for various reasons, the main likely due to the idolatry of Dan’s tribe (Judges 18:30-31). Manasseh was added to replace Dan to maintain 12 tribes, but omitting Dan was not only due to their idolatry, but also because this tribe led the other ten northern tribes into idolatry. This is why in the four faces of the Cherubim, the serpent was replaced with the Eagle-Aquila the serpent’s natural enemy. As we see this in Fig. 5 graphic above with the decan Aquila pictured directly over the tail of the serpent-Serpens, held by Ophiuchus.

In the North we find the face of the decan Aquila the Eagle [Ezek. 1:10], in place of his natural born enemy, the Serpent/Scorpion, seen as the only triple sign of the man-Ophiuchus, as he wrestles Serpens the Serpent, while stamping out the light of the star Antares, in the heart of Scorpius the scorpion. Ezekiel’s vision is also recorded below.

This analysis of the Four Royal Stars is not only at the basis of the Celestial Gospel, but also in light of the First and Great Commandment in Mark 12:28-34, as we have just seen in Ps. 19. 

²⁸ And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first of all commandments? ²⁹ And Jesus answered him, The first of all commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: ³⁰ And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. 31 And the second is like, it namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

³² And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but He: ³³ And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices. ³⁴ And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.

For Mankind to be unified in his Love for His God, he must utilize ALL his Heart, Soul, Mind and Strength. The sooner we realize this four fold unity of man, the sooner we can reap the benefits of a unified life in our humble  service to God. All who answer God’s Call, to serve with our All, in these 4 categories elevate ourselves into a maximum loading zone of God’s Miracle Abundance.

Several ancient cultures designated four bright stars in the zodiac as the “four corners of the earth” or the “four royal stars.” At the time the constellations were drawn by Shem, these four stars were near the sun’s location in the sky on the 1st day of autumn, winter, spring and summer, regarded as the 4 most important locations in the sky.

These four stars were well known at the four corners of the ecliptic, the first was a bright red star, Antares that anciently marked the autumnal equinox, in the heart of Scorpius, as the sun appeared the first day of autumn. 

The next bright star Fomalhaut, marked winter, followed by Aldebaran, a very bright red star set 180.0° opposite on the ecliptic from Antares, marked the Spring Equinox, as Antares marked the Autumn. Finally, the bright star Regulus, located almost exactly on the ecliptic, marked Summer. Regulus, was “the Prince,” and traditional leader of these four royal stars. #7^[n]

Each of these four royal stars are in a single sign of the Mazzaroth’s 12 signs on the ecliptic. Antares in Fig. 5a, in the heart of the Scorpion (Scorpius). In Aquarius–Fomalhaut the Southern Fish-eye is seen at the end-stream of water poured out by Aquarius, in Fig. 6a below. We find Aldebaran-the Bull’s-eye in (Taurus–reem) in Fig. 8 below. Lastly, Regulus is located in the Lion’s heart of (Leo), in Fig. 7 below, the king of the royal stars. These four are the corner-stone constellations not only forming the square base of the Great Pyramid, with 4 tribes/apostles mirrored skyward as the chief corners of the ecliptic’s Great Square, also as a basis of the idea of ‘squaring the circle,’ or ‘cubing the sphere’ in geometry. These truths provide a handle to grasp the Gospel in the Stars.

Fig. 5a. Ophiuchus’ Foot crushing the Scorpion’s Heart. #8

One of these ‘royal stars’ intersects in two of these constellations. Antares is not only the heart of the Scorpion, but also is found under heel of the Serpent–holder (Ophiuchus), #9^[o] who treads on the Scorpion’s heart, encircled by the serpent (Serpens), while crushing the head and heart of Scorpius-Antares. This pairing of the Serpent-Serpens with Scorpius-Antares points to different aspects of the enemy, as the Scorpion embodies the serpent’s seed -the main opposition to Christ, or anti-Christ. as Jesus himself related to the Pharisee’s in John 8:13-59, in his 3 uses of “father” [G3962-pater or parent] #10 in v. 44;

⁴⁴ Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, [way of Cain] and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 

We see a 2nd pairing in a bright star in the Southern fish-eye; Fomalhaut–in Aquarius’ stream, in the Head of the Southern Fish (Piscis Australis), a symbol of the mind and mental aspect of Man.#11^[p] This great fish is pictured drinking in the “stream of living waters” from Aquarius, but these are not the only stars sharing common themes in these signs. We see too a star named “Saiph,” #12 meaning “bruised” [Gen. 3:15] in Ophiuchus‘ heel opening a Planisphere Axis, [figure 8 below] matched at the other end by a star in Orion’s foot, of the same name [Fig. 6]-crushing the serpent near the end of this Axis.

Here the Man–Ophiuchus wrestles the serpent for a Crown of dominion, that
it stole from the 1st Adam in the temptation of Eden’s Garden. This crown is found in the stars above the serpent’s head, that he gained from the 1st Adam temporarily, but has already lost to the 2nd Adam-Jesus Christ, as Jesus first conquered death at his Ressurection and Ascension, defeating the serpent with his sacrifice, for us in [Fig. 8] below.
