My first interest in Biblical Astronomy was sparked during the study of the celestial signs surrounding the Birth of Christ in the late 70's and early 80's. This grew into a greater interest in Astronomy, resulting in numerous studies, clubs and activities as an amateur astronomer. Starting around 2003 I began working on the Try-God website, as a venue to publish my various articles and studies in Biblical Astronomy, which in the last 10 years, has garnered interest from an audience around the globe. With renewed effort and energy, we are expanding on our initial efforts with the website, for a more effective outreach to our growing audience.
Biblical Archaeo-Astronomy of Blood Moon Tetrads and Ancient Cultures
Biblical Archaeo-Astronomy of Blood Moon Tetrads and Ancient Cultures.
Welcome to the July 2024 Blog post! This is a special month as it marks the 10th Anniversary of this Blog that I initiated back in 2014! With over 150 blog posts on various topics related to Biblical Astronomy in the last 10 years, we have been blessed to develop a loyal following of readers and participants from around the globe. I love and am very passionate about this unique Christian Ministry work, and remain humbled and Thankful to my Heavenly Father for His Infinite Love, Grace and inspiration to Bless God’s People! The impetus for this blog grew out of the original website [Try-god.com] that we put together in 2002-3, based on the teachings and seminars related to the Birth of Christ, and The Celestial Prelude. I will always be grateful to my dear friend & brother in Christ, Paul Viarengo, for his love and generosity in helping me to establish and support this website, which remains a key asset and research archive. In the last few years I’m most thankful and grateful to and for Rev. Jon Nessle, his teachings, support and his example are invaluable contributions to this field of Bible research, along with his scientific background and prowess. I’m honored to accept his invitation to serve and teach with him, Ren Manetti and Roberto & Diane Martinez in The Next Reformation Church. Our outreach activities include a weekly Tune-in-Tuesday forum, and a recent roadshow as we served and taught together on the Celestial Gospel Seminar this past April for the Northeastern CFF Believers in New Jersey! Keep your eyes open for more efforts like this down the road…
To honor our 10th anniversary, and for the sake of context it is helpful to revisit some of the Celestial events that opened this blog in 2014. A primary topic of conversation in that period was the Blood Moon Tetrad of 2014-2015. This of course raised interest in the previous Blood Moon Tetrads during the inception of the State of Israel in 1949-50, and the 6-day war of 1967 when Israel reclaimed control of Jerusalem for the 1st time in near 2000 years. A respected commentator and Blood Moon teacher; Mark Biltz noted that after the 1st Blood Moon of 2014 there was an initial invasion of Ukraine by Russia, ISIS Advances, a 2-month war between Israel and Gaza, an Ebola Plague, an overthrow of Yemen, economic meltdowns and middle East upheaval. Many of these types of events were not only repeated in 2021-2022, but remain in the news headlines today!
The Season of Repentance is the call to repent before the Day of the Lord. Jewish tradition says those who are written in the Book of Life (the saved) will be resurrected on the Feast of Trumpets. The undecided and evil ones will then have time to repent during the time of judgment that ends at the Day of Atone-ment. The period of time between the Feast of Trumpets and the Day of Atone-ment is representative of the seven years of the Tribulation. It is fitting then that the Great American eclipse of such significance marks the the Season of Repentance. It was another sign pointing towards the significance of 2017 as it relates to the return of Christ, in comparison with the Alpha/Omega or Aleph-Tav; as the first and last letters of the Hebrew Alphabet embody the Great American Eclipses crossing America, from 2017-2024.
Joel 2:25-32 and Acts 2:16-27 prophecies of solar and lunar eclipses are note-worthy since solar eclipses are considered a sign for the Gentile nations of the world, while lunar eclipses are more significant for Israel. This aligns with God’s classification of people on earth into 3 groups; Jews, Gentiles & the Church of God.
There was another total solar eclipse that occurred on March 20, 2015. At the center point between the Blood Moon lunar eclipses of the 2014-15 Tetrad, it occurs before the religious new year begins on Nisan 1 (March 21). This eclipse was visible in the North Atlantic occurring in the constellation Pisces. Pisces speaks of the Redeemer’s People or us. Here there is a solar eclipse that took place 888 days before the Season of Repentance 2017. 888 is the number of our Redeemer’s name in Greek–Jesus.
The Blood Moon Tetrad of 2014-15 opened with a Passover Lunar Eclipse on 4/15/2014. Prior to the 4/4/2015 Passover Blood Moon, a unique Total Solar Eclipse occurred on March 20th, at the Spring Equinox, marking the start of the Hebrew month of Nisan, to open the ecclesiastical year, at the midpoint of their Shemitah year in 2015. Any Total solar eclipse reaching the rarefied air of the North Pole is unequalled, with the path of this Solar Eclipse ending at the Pole, putting it within Eclipse totality for near 2 minutes. A total solar eclipse at the North Pole on the Spring Equinox takes place only about once every 100 centuries, but it never happened on Nisan 1 in Hebrew Timekeeping, especially when seen with a Super-moon, putting this Total Solar eclipse in a class by itself. A chart of Blood Moon Tetrads over the last 2000+ years is available in our blog post @ Biblical Blood Moon Calendar.
This March 20th eclipse in 2015 was indeed a special one. While comparing historical eclipse data on the Spring Equinox; we found a solar eclipse (not at the North Pole) on March 20, 71 AD, also on Nisan 1 on the Hebrew Calendar.#1 Only months before the eclipses in 71 AD, Jerusalem’s Temple was attacked and destroyed. This Temple destruction occurred on the infamous 9th of Av in 70′ AD. In spite of prince Titus’ strict orders to his Roman Legions not to harm the Temple, it was “accidentally” set on fire and consumed. On August 5th, AD. 70, bloody scars on smoking ruins mark dire scenes of daily offerings ceased in Israel on 7/13/70′ AD, for lack of able-bodied priests to Sacrifice. This was recorded–at a noted time in history when Jerusalem’s Temple was destroyed by fire.
The Total Solar Eclipse on March 20th, 2015, was not only unique because it took place at the North Pole, but also because it fell right in the middle of this Blood Moon Tetrad. Much has been written about the position and timing of this total solar eclipse, but taking place in the center of this Tetrad is a key, when we view how the 2016 solar and lunar eclipses link the 2014-15 Blood Moon Tetrad to the Rev. 12 sign of Sept 23, 2017. The year of 2016 also saw a mirroring of solar and lunar eclipses in 70 AD. Not only are the solar and lunar eclipses mirrored exactly as seen in Table 1 below in 70/2016, but a Rev. 12 sign is also reflected in the center of the 70′ solar and lunar eclipses, on 8/27/70, three weeks after the destruction and burning of Jerusalem’s Temple by Titus on the 9th of Av.
The final Super Blood Moon of the 2014-15 Blood Moon Tetrad occurred after the Hebrew 50-year Jubilee on the Day of Atonement, Sept. 23rd, 2015, just 2 years prior to the Rev. 12 sign on 9/23/2017. This is notable as the 9/28/15 Super Blood Moon was the 1st Blood Moon of the 2014-2015 Tetrad that was visible in Jerusalem, as the city of God was liberated by Israel for the first time in near 2000 years in the preceding Jubilee year of 1967, marked too by the previous Blood Moon Tetrad of 1967-68. As we consider this feature of visibility over Jerusalem, we find it upheld with each of the lunar triples bracketing the 2014-2015 Blood Moon Tetrad, as a 2nd Blood Moon of both lunar triples was also visible over Jerusalem. This directly links the 2014-2015 Blood Moon Tetrad and the eclipses of 2016 to the 70′ AD razing of the Jerusalem Temple.
Figure 1. Lunar Triples in 2010-11 and 2018-19 bracketing the 2014-2015 Blood Moon Tetrad. #2
As the 2014-2015 Blood Moon Tetrad of the end days was centered between the saddest days on Israel’s Calendar, the days of Av marked by Lunar Triples in 2010-11 and 2018-19, as seen above they recall the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple on two key occasions in their history, one we have highlighted below, with the 69-71 AD solar and lunar eclipses, marking the Roman Destruction of the Jerusalem Temple. It is notable that the triple union of Jupiter-Regulus in Leo, marking Christ’s birth in 3-2 BC, is set here, as the next Jupiter-Regulus union didn’t recur till 10-15-69 AD, #3 opening to the Partial Lunar Eclipse on Sukkot on 10/18/69′, seen in Table 1 below.
The year 2015 has another date of interest. Yom Kippur 2015 proves to be 2,520 exact weeks from June 7, 1967 when Israel won the Temple Mount. This is also expressed as 49/360-day years. However, in counting these days, Yom Kippur 2015 is an exact 700 days before Elul 1, 2017 and the Season of Repentance. On an added note, there is another total eclipse on March 9, 2016 …[This March 9th date aligns with the Roman’s Destruction of the Jerusalem Temple in 70 AD, with very similar celestial signs in the sky.
2000 years of Blood Moon Tetrad history marked by Peter’s Sermon to open the Age of Grace, [Acts 2:20] have seen Jesus’ foretelling Israel’s Bible and Celestial Prophecy Plan of a Destruction of Jerusalem’s Temple, sealed in solar and lunar eclipses, fulfilled in 70 AD. We saw the Jews dispersed the world over, returning to Israel’s Reformed State, in 1948-50 marked by a Blood Moon Tetrad. In 1967-68 another Blood Moon Tetrad stamped the 6-day war with Egypt, and Jerusalem’s first reclaiming under Israeli control, since 70 AD, all leading to a next prophecy to rebuild a Third Jerusalem Temple. A chart of the Blood Moon Tetrads over the last 2000 years is found in our blog @ Biblical Blood Moon Calendar. The summary below from this link, shows Jesus’ Prophecy of Rome’s 70 AD Destruction of the Temple, mirroring the 2016 Solar and Lunar Eclipses.

Sukkot/9-16 to 9/23/16
Partial Lunar Purim 3/4/71 Partial Lunar Eclipse
Total Solar Nisan 1 3/20/71 Total Solar Eclipse
These dates may look familiar to those following this Biblical Astronomy Blog [blog.try-god.org], as the first 2 Total Solar Eclipses of 2016 form the continuation of Solar and Lunar signs on Hebrew Feast and Holy days after the Blood Moons of 2014-15. Due to a lack of consensus on the ripeness of Aviv Barley in Israel, the alignment of these solar eclipses with Hebrew Feast and Holy days went mostly unnoticed in 2016. But they are key as they represent a direct link to the Aug. 21st, 2017 Pan-Am Total Solar eclipse. A key detail about the 2nd Blood Moon of each lunar triple bracketing the 2014-2015 Blood Moon Tetrad was its visible over Jerusalem. This provides a direct link with Blood Moon Tetrad to the razing of the Jerusalem Temple in Hebrew Sabbath years of 586-587 BC and 69-70 AD. King Nebuchadnezzar burnt the Temple in 587-586 BC [2 Chron. 36:17-20], and it was burnt again 69-70 AD, by Titus and his Roman legions. In both cases Jerusalem lay desolate for the next 50 years on the Jubilee Calendar. #4
The solar and lunar eclipses marking the 69-70 AD destruction of Jerusalem’s Temple, 70 AD was the last year Jerusalem was under control of Israel until the Blood Moon Tetrad of 1967-68. The Luni–Solar Eclipses of 2016 mirror the 69-70 AD solar and lunar eclipses exactly on holy days & Hebrew feasts. Its also noteworthy that the triple union of Jupiter-Regulus marking the birth of Christ in 3BC, is linked to the Temple destruction in Jerusalem foretold by Christ [Matt. 24:1-2], since the next Jupiter-Regulus conjunction did not recur until Oct. 15th, 69 AD. #5
By putting these birth signs of Christ together with the physical Temple being destroyed, it recalls Jesus’ words in [Jn. 2:19-20] where Jesus links the Temple’s destruction, wherein he was standing when he said “destroy this temple,” with the “temple of his body.” Christ embodied the Temple in two aspects; first as the Bride of Israel when he spoke this prophecy, then a New Covenant Gentile Church in Christ, communing with the Heavenly Father in spirit after the Day of Pentecost in the Age of Grace, [Eph. 2:11-22]. Since Jesus superseded the physical Temple in his Spiritual body–the Church, the Jerusalem Temple on the Mount will not be seen again until its daily sacrifices are restored prior to Jesus’ 2nd Coming. The 69-70 AD solar and lunar eclipses marked Rome’s destruction of the Temple, by Titus mirrored in soli-lunar eclipses of 2016, that lead to the 2017 rewind of the Great Wonder of Rev. 12:1-2. Amazingly, another version of this Rev. 12 celestial wonder occurred on August 27th, in 70 AD, between the 4/14/70 Passover Lunar Eclipse, and the 9/23/70 Rosh Hashanah Solar Eclipse!
Figure 2. The Rev. 12 sign on August 27th, 70 AD: With a Jupiter-Venus union, in the hind paw of Leo the Lion. #6
The woman-Virgo has a crown of 12 stars, with Jupiter and Venus in so close a union, they appear to merge into one star as in 2 BC, but this time in the lower rear paw of Leo. The Sun clothes Virgo and the Moon at her feet. The planets Jupiter and Venus are also aligned with Mercury-Gabriel in Leo’s other hind paw, and the King Star-Regulus in Leo. What is unique with this version of the Rev. 12 Sign is that it occurs in the midst of solar and lunar eclipses falling on Hebrew Feast days as they also marked the 70 AD Temple’s destruction in Jerusalem.
These 2016 Lunar Eclipses followed the Blood Moon Tetrad of 2014-2015 that totaled 6 Lunar Eclipses in 3 consecutive years on Hebrew Feast days, adding weight to the Four Blood Moons! As we consider the import of these Penumbral Lunar Eclipses in 2016, we should point out the similarity to the Penumbral Lunar Eclipses in 70 AD marking the Romans’ destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem. The following chart from our Biblical Blood Moon Calendar blog shows the 70 AD Roman Temple Destruction as Jesus Prophesied, [Matt. 24:1-2].
It is notable that if the ripe Barley determination was made before the Total Solar Eclipse on March 9th, 2016 it will also have aligned on NISAN 1, even as the linked sign on 3/30/70 AD! This comparison of Solar and Lunar signs of 70 AD and 2016 is truly remarkable! Also, as we mentioned in the Purim Blood Moon post, 71 AD was the last Lunar Eclipse on Purim found in the intervening period until 3/22/2016. The noted parallel here is that these Solar and Lunar signs marked the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple in 70 AD, while today we are looking for the return of a Third Temple in Jerusalem as the next step to fulfill Biblical Prophecy, to establish Israel’s reclamation of Jerusalem as seen in the 1967-68′ Blood Moon Tetrad, in the 6-day War with Egypt. Thus we see note the history of these Solar and Penumbral Lunar Eclipses in 2016 as they align in the only other Sun and Moon signs on Hebrew Feast Days that did not cluster as Blood Moon Tetrads over the last 2000 years!
As we consider the Archaeo-Astronomy of ancient world cultures in light of their various associated forms of astrology, we will view how these systems have survived into the modern world. With this in mind, what does a regular deck of playing cards have in common with the El Castillo Pyramid at Chichen Itza, Mexico?
Figure 3. El Castillo Pyramid at Chichen Itza. #7
The Maya were ruthless devotee’s of human sacrifice, whose culture was ruled by its Astrology, controlling every aspect of their timekeeping, which organized their lives. As the Mayan priests prepared the human sacrifice, they 
them to subdue any resistance to their 
of precious stone, nearly hard as 
, to cut out the victim’s 
. This secondary comparison to playing cards however belies a more prominent one upon closer inspection. As we find compelling evidence revealing a surprising link to the roots of astrology not only in the origin of Mayan timekeeping practices, but many ancient calendars in general.
The structure of a deck of playing cards is based on 4 suits, reflected above, of 13 cards each, that when the numbers 1-13 are added, equal 91. The same pattern is seen in the El Castillo Pyramid, with 4 flights of 91 stairs, leading up to the altar at the pinnacle of the Pyramid. These 4 suits of 13 cards when multiplied equal 52, corresponding to the number of weeks in a year of our Gregorian Calendar, whose reflection is seen in the Maya Tzolkin Calendar of 52 years. We find further calendar links in the total of 91 pyramid steps, equaling the number of days per season, times 4 flights totaling 364, corresponding to the number of days in the year–365, when the Joker Card is added. As the altar caps off the Pyramid’s pinnacle, the four flights of stairs, make a total of 365. The 52-year Maya Tzolkin calendar consisted of four 13-year periods, each symbolized by one of five spirit-heads, four of which correlated to the Cardinal Directions, while the 5th linked to the center or apex of the circle in the Calendar Round, representing the Earth. This picture of the El Castillo Pyramid agrees with the figure of the Great Pyramid on the Giza plateau, which was designed as a 1 to 43,200 geometric scale model, of planet Earth. Thus, we get the idea that the pyramid represented not only our planet, but also its seasons and timekeeping practices of these pyramid-building cultures that produced them. The calendars that emerged from these cultures also looked to unify the solar and lunar cycles into a comprehensive system of temporal and spatial order. The face cards of the deck represent the day-gods of the Maya Calendar, designed to rule over the temporal and spiritual order of Mayan culture, typified in the structure of their pyramids and calendars. The deck of playing cards was probably structured as a memory system for this classic luni-solar calendar.
Figure 4. Ouroboros Serpent #8
We can trace also the origin of the number 666 from Astrology. The Zodiac is a narrow band about 18 degrees in width making a complete circuit of the sky around the earth, symbolized in pagan art by a serpent whose body formed a circle. The serpent named Ouroboros swallowed his own tail in his mouth as a symbol of self destruction. Astrology taught that the fate of mankind was always decided by the position of the stars. Now the fatalistic astrology of the chief gods of the Zodiac were the 7 fate-controlling planets who wound their way through the 36 rooms of the Zodiac. As the 7 planets travel through the narrow band of the zodiac at varying speeds —symbolized as a seven-headed serpent (Rev. 12:3), they dictated the fate of entire cultures and nations. The Zodiac band was divided into 12 houses, one for each month of the year, and each house was divided into three rooms, with 36 rooms/ decans in all, one for each 10 degrees of the Zodiac circle. This counterfeit heavenly order is the astrological basis of our present method of time-keeping. For example, the clockface– derived from the 12 houses of the Zodiac, as the original Heavenly Clock, whereby today we measure time, even as our ruler has 12 inches to a foot, determining our spatial dimensions.
Figure 5. Roulette Wheel #9
The original Roulette wheels have a 360-degree circle with 36 divisions of 10 degrees each, with a blank or zero division to represent the 5 days beyond the 360 days in a year. There are 36 numbered cards in a 52 card deck. One card each represents the 52 weeks with 12 face cards, 4 Kings, 4 Queens, and 4 Jacks, and 4 suits that represent the four seasons. Why do fortune-tellers use a deck of cards to predict the future? Because the deck of cards derives from Astrology. Our present townships are composed of 36 square miles because, as several writers point out, the ancients divided the earth according to the divisions in the sky. Just as our 12-inch ruler was once a symbol of the 12-house Zodiac, so our 36-inch yardstick based upon the 36 rooms into which the heavenly houses are divided. Also, the remainder of the sky outside the Zodiac band was also divided into 36 constellations, 15 on the south side and 21 on the north side. A god of each constellation was set up to rule over one of the 36 rooms of the Zodiac. Every star in the sky was viewed as a god in the abode of departed spirits included in a constellation, and over whom a god was set up who ruled over a Zodiac room. Each Zodiac house-god ruled over a month of the year, and the 7 planetary house gods regulated, the celestial order and the affairs of mankind via this Astrology, by their relative positions in the various rooms of the Zodiac. The Sun-god ruled over them all (the All-Seeing Eye) who was envisioned as the central fire, from which each had sprung. Pagans believed that all other gods were but emanations of the Sun-god. In their numerology 1, 6, 12, 36, 111, and 666 were the most sacred numbers in Astrology. Like the Roulette Wheel, the charts divided into 36 numbered sections, or [magic squares]. There were six columns in all directions with the numbers 1 to 36 placed inside the entire chart. Any direction you add the columns, they total 111. There are six squares in each column and 6 x 111 = 666. If you add all digits from 1 to 36 they will total 666. So, the number 36 was a sacred number that identified with the 36 room-gods of the Zodiac, and the number 666 was a summary number of the Sun-god, because it was his sacred number as the ruler of the Zodiac. Thus it was not a coincidence that the earth’s axis is tilted 23.4 degrees from vertical which is 66.6 degrees from hortizontal. [Obliquity cycle] #10
Thus the number 36 was a sacred number that was linked to the 36 room-gods of the Zodiac, and the number 666 was a summary number of the Sun-god, and his sacred number as the ruler of the Zodiac. This was an archetypal blueprint of how the enemy counterfeited the original Celestial Gospel, by substituting his astrology for the foundations of the Creator’s Biblical Astronomy, going back to the Tower of Babel., where the original one language of humanity was confused by God to prevent the enemy’s One world unity based on Astrology as the counterfeit of The Creator’s Celestial Gospel.
The primary temporal symbol in Mesoamerican myth, as in other ancient cultures was the snake who swallowed it own tail. We find in this circular snake, a symbol of cyclic time depicted below in the concentric Calendar Wheel, where the outer wheel shows the 52-year cycle of the Maya Calendar, divided into 13 renditions of the four year cycles [13 x 4=52] known as [rabbit, house, cane & reed]. We noted these elements in our earlier comparison, of the structures of the El Castillo Pyramid and the common deck of playing cards. The four circles in the Serpent’s body relate to the four Cardinal Directions of the calendar, embodied in four of the Mayan spirit heads.
Figure 6. Maya Concentric Calendar Wheel #11
The graphic above conforms to the Egyptian serpentine image of the Sothic Calendar arranged, according to the four Cardinal Directions, as the serpent head swallows its own tail, with scales symbolizing the stars of heaven. This Egyptian picture of the Sothic Calendar shows a reconciliation between the 360° circle with the 365-days of the calendar year. Encircled in the serpent’s coils at the cardinal points, are the 4 Egyptian gods Sothis/Sirius, Isis, Osiris & Horus, each presiding over a cycle of 365 years which totaled the 1461–year cycle when the rising of the star Sirius aligned with the Sunrise. This idea links to the 260-day tzolkin calendar of the Maya, because the Sothic Calendar also conforms to the 260-day pattern [260 x 1461] that equals 365.25 x 1040 days.
This provides another depiction of the world monomyth cropping up in cultures with no direct physical contact, appearing at different points in history, yet sharing universal archetypes of archaeo-astronomy based on truths of a common celestial myth.
Like the ancient Egyptians, the Maya pyramid-building culture of ancient Mexico had a very advanced Astronomy. They also regularly divided their year into 360 days, called a “tun” and added 5 extra days, called “haab,” considered an unlucky period. According to Peter Thompkins, Maya also “calculated the orbit of the Earth about the Sun as 365.2420 days, and marked the close of the year by the erection of a stone they called a tun. They did likewise for a twenty- year cycle or Katun, a period they considered to be governed by the Conjunction of Jupiter & Saturn.“#121
The history of Jupiter-Saturn Conjunction cycles was also recognized in close association to the precession of the equinoxes in the Hebrew cosmology seen in Genesis 1:6-10, along the world-views of many ancient cultures including, Sumeria, Babylon, Egypt, Greece and the Meso–Americans. Peter Thompkins continues by saying that; “The Maya had a very special sacred year of 260 days called tzolkin, that the Aztecs called tonalamatl.” This 260-day sacred calendar was “divided into 13 months of 20 days, and the multiples of 13 and 20 became the heart of a chronological computation stunning in its simplicity and exactness. A greater cycle of 260 years was 13 consecutive Jupiter-Saturn cycles of 20 years.”#132
The greater 260-year cycle based on the Jupiter-Saturn Conjunction, cycle was also a tool utilized by the Mayans to break down the extra long cycle of the precession of the equinoxes. Thompkins states that the “Maya also had a cycle of 942,890 days, or 2,582 years, that turned out to be 130 Jupiter-Saturn conjunctions.”#143 Twice this cycle [5,163 years], not only gave the equivalent of the greater 260-year cycle of Jupiter-Saturn conjunctions, but 100 of these greater 260-year cycles equaled 26,000 years, often reckoned the length of the precession. With Kepler’s Trigon, the Mayan tzolkin, and the Egyptian Sothic Calendar, we have three culturally distinct and seemingly independent views of how Jupiter-Saturn conjunctions subdivided the precession. The amazing visual similarity between the Mayan tzolkin wheel, that preceded Kepler’s geometric structure of the Trigon by centuries, is also worth noting, especially in how both calendars include a reference to the lunar cycles according to the base 60 number system. This provides an ancient basis and foundation on the Sexegesimal, earth-commensurate standard based on precession, from the Mayan culture. The Kepler Trigon unfolds the pattern of the clock face of the precession, opening a new precessional age on average every 2160 years, with the close approach of Jupiter and Saturn to the vernal point. In this division of the precession into manageable parts, we can see how the luni-solar cycle, governed by the phi ratio, depicts the universal cosmic order based on precessional number factors ruling their calendar, was reflected in their monumental architecture.
Figure 7. Kepler’s Trigon #15
We gain true insight into the stellar revelation the Almighty Creator invested into His Celestial Gospel as we witness the mathematical precision of luni-solar and planetary astro–cyles, patterned to the Pi and Phi ratios. Cultural traditions of the world have spawned their astrologies as counterfeit views of the original truths of Biblical Archaeo-Astronomy. that diverged from the authentic principles of the Messianic Prophecies of the Celestial Gospel in favor of cultural idols of astrology and conventional views of Archaeology, and Archaeo-Astronomy, to support these false views. The Conventional wisdom of archaeology has been to view the results of the digs and sites, from their mainline historical view of the culture and society that produced it, with various regional influences considered. Although a portion of attention has been focused on societal religion, and the religious context and practices that produced these sites, conventional wisdom would benefit if more attention was focused on the principles of the world monomyth, by Joseph Campbell in this context. As stated, our position is in general agreement with Campbell’s idea of the world monomyth [The Hero with a Thousand Faces, 1949] that names Christ as a prime example among others, of the universal hero setting the pattern upon which all cultural hero’s have been formed.#16
We can also trace the Archaeo-Astronomy of ancient cultures going back to the Tower of Babel that were first based on the tenets of the Celestial Gospel but became corrupted in the Babel’s ancient astrology [Gen. 11:1-9]. We can also track the Babylonian name for their temporal cycle involving the Moon’s eclipse cycle, or period of lunation, which is called a saros rooted in the Hebrew word [zera]. This period of lunation lasts 18 years and 11, (10.96) days. Mathematics in modern times defines, zero is the absence of quantity, the point where a constant function changes its sign from positive to negative, (or the spiritual to the physical). Practically, this transition between the physical and spiritual realms is embodied in Jesus Christ, who is the apex and crown of Creation. He is the point of access to God-the Heavenly Father and as the Word made flesh, he is seated on his throne at the right hand of God, at the utmost pinnacle of the cosmos. [Eph. 2:4-8]
Due in part to the importance of Astronomy in ancient culture, and the star religions that formed around ancient timekeeping and celestial science, our view is the astronomical myth and tradition linked to ancient Star religions, is a primary and universal key to understanding the inner workings of cultural archetypes. Biblical Archaeo-Astronomy is of special and unique value here, because of the message and blueprint it carries in the celestial prophecies of Christ, as seen in the planetary unions surrounding the Star of Bethlehem, marking Christ’s birth, unlocking the keys of Biblical Astronomy. The primary caveat here of course, is that based on the Creator’s Intelligent Design, the celestial and angelic signs of the birth of Christ are viewed as direct messages from the Creator’s Throne-room regarding the long awaited appearance of Christ-God’s Only Begotten Son.
One of the many tenets of Biblical Archaeo-Astronomy is to focus on how numerous star religions have deviated from the original message concerning Christ, the ultimate Hero, written in the Heavens. Basic forms of Astrology that emerged during this process of corruption were documented in our website study on “Biblical Astronomy vs. Astrology,” providing important background on this specific study. As opposed to understanding star religions in a skewed light of the exclusivity of cultural contexts, that only blind their adherents to their idol practices. We prefer an inductive Scriptural approach seen in Rom. 1: 22-25, which enlightens us as to how Astrology has corrupted and hidden key Scriptural truths from coming to the surface, since they have changed God’s truth into lies, worshipping and serve the Creation more than the Creator. Our focus is to shed new light on these practices, preferably based on principles akin to the original, more ancient Astronomy, from which idol astrology first deviated. In the process we will notice common points that come to light, as these star religions venerated idol relics in place of the original Hero, [Acts 7:43].
The Authentic Protevangelium was the Witness of the Stars. The Celestial Gospel of the Coming Hero-Redeemer: Jesus Christ, was the 1st Gospel written from God to Man. The the signs of the zodiac were the first symbol–heralds of a Coming Redeemer, whom we would know based on the written Messianic prophecies. From the first prophecy of the Promised Seed [Gen. 3:15] the woman’s seed was spoken as the one to bruise the serpent with a terminal death blow to its head. Rev. 12:4 below reveals the central goal of the adversary, “to devour the woman’s child as soon as it was born.” We witness this intent in Herod’s slaughter of infants born nearest when the Magi’s star first appeared over Bethlehem. All of Biblical history revolves around this conflict between the two seeds; the seed of the woman and the serpent’s seed. Just as the “woman” has a dual fulfillment, so the symbolism in reference to the serpent–dragon in Rev. 12 changes also.
Revelation 12: 3-5
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. 4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. 5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
“And there appeared another wonder in heaven”- “Another” is a Greek word indicating that this heavenly wonder was different from that described in Rev. 12:1. As a first heavenly wonder noted a woman of the Constellation Virgo, so this second heavenly wonder, though different from Virgo, was still a celestial sign.
‘and behold a great red dragon‘– Although there are several potential celestial candidates for this sky dragon, including Hydra which also spans a third of the stars of the ecliptic with its massive size, it becomes apparent that Draco is the sign that is referred to in its initial significance in Revelation. This is the first of 13 occurrences of the Greek word “drakon“ in the book of Revelation, with the first eight uses of this word here in Rev. 12, [Rev. 12:3,4,7,7, 9,13,16,17, Rev. 13:2, 4,11, Rev. 16:13, 20:2]. The number thirteen is symbolic of rebellion and the dragon embodies the idea of spiritual warfare in the heavens. As we inspect the details of the Biblical record of Revelation 12, the characteristics of Draco the dragon come to the surface. The first incidence of the word “Dragon” in Rev. 12:3 are focused traits of Draco over the other names of the adversary in Rev. 12:9. As a result of the war in heaven, the dragon and his 3rd of the heavenly angels were cast down to the earth. This was depicted astronomically as a meteor shower in 3 BC, that curiously coincides with the events surrounding the birthday of Jesus Christ.
Figure 8. The October 8th Giacobinid Meteor shower of 2000. #17
R.H. Allen was one of the first I’m aware of that linked the casting down of the dragon and his angels to a meteor shower. The meteor shower in question originated from the Dragon at the North pole, tied to its parent comet known as the Giacobini-Zinner Comet.
I was not aware of the idea of this specific Meteor shower being linked to the second celestial wonder of Rev. 12, until I listened a teaching by Jon Nessle regarding the Eta-Draconid Meteors correlated with the birth of Christ.
According to Rev. Nessle, there are actually 3 sets of Draconid meteors, two of which show a radiant or origin, from the star Eta-Draconis. One of these stars is viewed as the greater and the other the lesser of the Eta-Draconids. It is the lesser of these two that occurred during the period of Sept. 9th-12th in 3 BC. #18
A defining factor of this Meteor shower is that the lesser Eta-Draconids are best viewed at sunset, or in the early evening, while most Meteor showers are best seen later at night, as stated in the excerpt below from the October 2nd, 98’ Weekly News Bulletin of Sky & Telescope;
“On the evening of Oct. 8th, debris from the Periodic Comet Giacobini-Zinner/ 21P may provide a stunning sky show. The Giacobinid Meteor shower turned out two of the best Meteor displays of the 20th century in 1933 and 1946. Lesser showers arrived in 1926, 1952, & 1985. Unlike most Meteor showers the Giacobinids are at their best in the evening as opposed to after midnight. Their radiant is in the tail of the Constellation Draco. This point is highest right after dark at mid-northern latitudes; it moves lower throughout the night and is near the horizon by dawn.”#19
This fact alone showing the meteors falling from their radiant in the dragon’s tail as the dragon sign itself descends from the upper reaches of the sky to the earthly horizon in the dawning of a new day, when Christ was born, to enact the casting down and descent of the dragon’s power, on the Sept. 11th birth of Christ. Since this new day began at sunset in the Hebrew Calendar, the first moments of the birth time of the promised seed were revealed with the setting star Spica, about 20 minutes after Sunset in Virgo. The graphic of Draco at the celestial North Pole below [Plate III] depicts the head & body of the dragon inside the northern polar circle, with the dragon’s tail starting with the star Thuban, outside of the polar circle.
Figure 9. Draco the Dragon and the North Astronomical pole, from the Star Atlas of Hevelius. 20
Also shown is Cepheus the Crowned King with Polaris, the pole star, between his feet. Since the star Eta-Draconis is located below the serpent’s head near the ecliptic North pole, with Thuban in the dragon’s tail, as the equatorial pole star, it symbolizes the dragon’s dominion, both as the original morning star and the god of this world. We should note that though the north-pole of the Equator was wrested from the dragon, via the precession of the poles, he retains sway over the pole of the ecliptic, the celestial axis around which the equatorial pole revolves. This is a still point in the heavens near the core of the Dragon, and the Cat’s Eye Nebula [NGC 6543] between the stars Grumium and Chi Draconis. Notes of interest regarding the star Grumium, also spelled Grumian, meaning “subtle or deceiver,” as Denning: “views the radiant of the Meteor flow seen about the 29th of May, also named the Draconids,”#21 as one of 3 distinct Meteor showers from Draco, this being the sole whose radiant was not Eta-Draconis. In Figure 10 below, 3 second magnitude stars in the dragon’s head are readily visible, with a red star-Thuban in the dragon‘s tail. The testimony of this dragon sign embodies the enemy cast down, including other categories of the spirit realm seen in this meteor shower, framing the birth of Christ. Although the casting down of the dragon occurred in the 1st Heaven and Earth, [2 Pet. 3:5-7] in the deep past before human history, the Dragon’s fall with his minions was not a foregone conclusion, until Christ was resurrected and Ascended. This is one aspect of the Rev. 12 record, that shows it is not in chronological order. With the birth of Christ, the prophecy of the dragon’s doom in [Gen. 3:15] was tied to promised seed for the first time.
This Meteor shower from September 9th-11th 3 BC, marking the birth of the ascending Morning star, shows most clearly this transition of heavenly and earthly power, tolling the death knell of Draco’s dominion. The occurrence of this Meteor shower at sunset was another sign of confirmation that would have drawn the Magi’s focus to sunset, as the time of day to be watchful for the celestial signs marking the birth of Christ.
Figure 10. Draco the Dragon at the Celestial North Pole. #22
This Eta-Draconid Meteor shower during the birth of Christ also links to the planet Saturn, tying the Jupiter-Saturn triple conjunction of 7 BC to the Jupiter-Regulus triple union in Leo in 3BC. This first Jupiter link was based on the retrograde motion and triple unions of Jupiter, 4 years apart. Saturn is also tied to the star Eta-Draconis in its regular transit across the Meridian, at midnight of May 23rd, filed for centuries occurring only 3 days before the 1st Jupiter-Saturn triple union, May 27th of 7 BC. This binds the 1st Jupiter-Saturn Triple conjunction to a series of celestial signs marking Christ’s birth from 3-1 BC, opening with the May 19th, 3 BC Mercury-Saturn union. This not only adds a conclusive celestial bond with the Celestial Prelude signs in 7-5 BC with Christ’s birth signs in 3-1 BC, but also ties Draco vertical at the north pole with the Jupiter-Saturn triple conjunctions, on the ecliptic, showing the casting down of Draco from his high perch at the North Pole to a horizontal position on the ecliptic, where he has a prime view of the secrets of the pit, [Isa. 14:15]. This linkage with the planet Saturn and the star Eta-Draconis is focused on the initial dominion & first estate of the dragon at the pinnacle of the 1st heavens and earth. But the Meteor shower shows the dragon cast down at sunset, in the twilight of his dominion. The Eta-Draconid Meteors encircle the birth of Christ on 9/11, and led to the 1st triple union of Jupiter-Regulus in Leo, on 9/14th. This September 14th date is key for at least three reasons. First, it fell within the annual twenty-day period when Virgo is clothed with the Sun. Secondly, it initiates Saturn’s 13-year ring cycle, and 3rd it seals a 1st Jupiter-
Regulus Conjunction in Leo in 3 BC. Since this Planetary union was visible to the Magi, as early as the 11th of September, the meteors were already falling from their perch high in the northern sky, signifying the dragon cast down & his third of the stars of heaven, at the same time of the events marking Christ’s birth, the heir apparent to fill this gap in heaven vacated by draco and his minions.
The Astronomy of the ancient Maya civilization also holds some fascinating keys regarding the star Eta Draconis, relating to the Maya Serpent Calendar. Dr. Marian Hatch, an expert on the Maya Serpent Calendar, made some tantalizing connections between the orientation of the serpents on this amazingly detailed calendar, and the positions of the Constellation Draco, in the northern skies. She discovered that:
“the varied snake positions link true with the path of Draco’s Constellation as it would have appeared in the evening sky 2000 years ago. Dr. Hatch noted that the star Eta Draconis was unique that it alone among all other stars stayed virtually unchanged in right ascension for the 2300 years between 1800 BC to 500 AD, regularly transiting across the Meridian at midnight of May 23rd, and November 22nd, with a variation of less than a degree. Thus the star Eta Draconis provided the Maya with an accurate measure of the sidereal year, and a yardstick for comparison between the tropical and sidereal years, as well as indicating the precessional lag in other stars…#23/4 {emphasis mine}
Figure 11. Draco’s position in the Maya Serpent Calendar. #24
Dr. Hatch’s research shows an implied link between the precession of the poles and the precession of the equinoxes, as they are represented both vertical at the North Pole and horizontally on the ecliptic. From the graphic above we will also notice how the bodies of the serpents align with the circular rows of the Maya day-gods, which are depicted as scales on the serpent’s hide, [Job 41: 7-18]. This calendar’s accuracy is unsurpassed in the history of Astronomy, as it incorporates the Venus cycle in correlation with the luni-solar cycles. We will look deeper into the details of this dragon calendar, tying to the head and tail of the dragon, its scales and so-called lunar Nodes as we progress in new studies along these lines, revealing spiritual implications of the Mazzaroth linked to its four serpentine Constellations.
As the Maya Serpent Calendar shows, Eta Draconis supplied the benchmark by which both the the tropical and sidereal years were tracked and contrasted, not to mention the effect of precession on heavenly stars, which seems the Mayans could have tracked going back to at least 1800 BC, coinciding with the star Eta-Draconis. The linked Eta-Draconid Meteor shower also marked Christ’s birth, providing a powerful witness to the dragon’s fall, depicting the casting down of the dragon with his minions for all time.
It is no “coincidence” that earth’s axis is tilted 23.4 degrees from vertical or 66.6 degrees from hortizontal. This keeps the terrestrial pole pointed to the North star, which 5000 years ago was a tail star in Draco-named Thuban, but now has shifted via the precession of the poles to Polaris in Ursa Minor, the little flock underfoot of King Cepheus, seated at God’s Right Hand, embodied in Christ with his spiritual body-the Church.
As individual believers, sons & daughters of God in Christ, we too can crush the serpent enemy immediately with his minions, under our feet, [Rom. 16:20] as we are seated in the heavenlies in Christ at the Heavenly Father’s Right Hand!
God Bless!

The Spirit of God is the Light of God in Concretion
The Spirit of God is the Light of God in Concretion
Welcome to the June 2024 blog, as we are enduring the late Spring early Summer Heatwave in the desert SW! About five years ago, I posted a study which I taught on Tune-in-Tuesday in and posted in May of 2019, on the Father of Lights. The subject matter of that study provides an important foundation for what we are adding to this topic in June of 2024. Let’s begin at the beginning when God spoke His order into Creation.
The first thing that God called back into the re-ordering of Creation in Genesis 1 was light, because any genuine works of His Hands in Creation must be a manifestation of the Father of Lights. In Gen. 1, we find whenever God spoke, something wonderful resulted. The Sound of His voice is antecedent to light which we can see in the following reference in Gen. 1:1-3.
“And God said, Let there be Light and there was Light. And God saw the Light, that it was good: and God divided the Light from the darkness.” The entrance of God’s Word always brings light, [Ps. 119:130], so as God spoke to give Light; the Sound of God’s Voice preceded Light. The info Rachael Rogers sent on the Oscillatory Frequency principle, rings true, since Sound is an Energy active on a lower Scale building towards light. In this light we can accurately grasp the Biblical principles of God’s Creation from a scientific viewpoint because based on Oscillatory Frequencies, Sound is Energy acting on a lower Scale, building towards light. As visible Light appears on the 49th Octave, it explains its Divine origin and relation; God is represented symbolically as a Circle of light going back to His Covenant with Noah [Gen. 9:12-17], the Number 7 being the perfect standard of God’s Creation. Since the Number 49 is the product of 7 X 7, it stands for each Circle of the spiral having been traversed 7 times as this perfect Light Energy was preceded by Sound with its Seven Musical Notes, before Light was created, with its Seven Spectral Colors. This pattern in Creation has led to the idea that God’s Creation of the Cosmos consisted of traversing seven Circles.
Plate 1. The Visible light Spectrum and the Menorah that registers in human vision is depicted below.
Gen 1:4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. Gen. 1:5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
We must remember what John 1:5 tells us about the relationship between light and darkness;
“And the light [God] shines in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.”
In the book Jesus Christ is not God, regarding John 1:5, V.P. Wierwille stated; “The clause in v. 5 is a general rather than a specific statement regarding light and darkness, it does not refer to a specific time in the past, in the present or in the future, but rather it is making a general statement about all time. Darkness is the absence of Light. Light, heat and all forms of energy are measured in terms of the positive not the negative. The negative is the absence of the positive. Even from a scientific point of view there is no way darkness could comprehend light since darkness is the absence of light. That which does not exist cannot over-come that which exists. #1
The 49th Octave of Visible Light
On the 49th Octave of Visible Light, the Oscillatory Frequency per Second jumps to the high of 562,949,953,421,- 312, the middle of the Spectrum of Colors has come into existence, the 1st Visible Light starting around 318 Trillion Oscillations per second, with a faint Red Color. While the range of the ear for hearing is from the Fourth to the 15th Octave, a span of 11 or 12 Octaves, the eye can sense only 1 Octave—the 49th. As soon as the 50th is reached, with its 1,125,899,906,842,624 Oscillations, the faint Violet of the Spectrum vanishes and for Seven more Octaves, the potent, but invisible Ultra-Violet Range of Radiations is entered. Before going further, we will look into some of the properties of Oscillatory Frequencies and the conversion of Sound Energy into Light. It is interesting that the transition from the 49th Octave to the 50th reflects a vanishing point from visible light to invisible UV portion of the spectrum, perhaps mirroring an entrance to the spiritual realms. Since Sound is Energy acting on a lower Scale, as it builds towards light, it is helpful to grasp the Universal ratios of Musical Proportion in Plate 2, below, that maps this geometric soundscape.
Plate. 2 The Universal Ratios of Musical Proportion. #2 [pinterest.com]
Nature divides all expressions of energy including matter into Octaves of the Light and Sound spectrums composed of waves, vibrations or tones of equal constants and dimensions. These dimensional relations of these tonal Octaves vary in absolute and Universal ratios as seen in the chart above. All the wave-lengths of the E-M spectrum are traveling at the speed of light, just at varying frequencies, that depicts all Creation emanating from the Sound of God’s Voice. When we combine these spectrums of light and sound according to sacred time of Sabbaths of seven weeks, or years, unto the 50-year Jubilee, we find these temporal patterns cropping up in key biblical prophecies. The graphic below depicts a Musical Spiral of Frequency, Color and Light whose spiral is ordered to the Fibonnacci Numbers. This illustrates not only the Creator’s fingerprint on Nature, but also the Voiceprint of the Father of Lights.

The Spirit of God is the Light of God in Concretion
Genesis 2:7 says, “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.”
For ages, the scientific community dismissed and often ridiculed the apparent simplicity of the Bible’s claim that God created humankind from “the dust of the ground.” Well, Scientists aren’t being so dismissive anymore! Since the spectrums of Sound and Light are mapped on spiral lattices, similar to our DNA, it is not surprising in the least that the Spectrum of the Periodic Table would also conform to God’s masterplan of Creation.
Plate 4. Musical Note & Frequency with related Visible Light Wavelengths.
Scientists have discovered that the elements found within the human body are the same as those found in dirt and clay. In 1982, after an in-depth study, NASA researcher’s at the Ames Research Center #4 confirmed that every single element found in the human body is also present in dirt. “We are just starting to learn,” the scientists acknowledged. The Biblical scenario for the Creation of life turns out to be an accurate picture of reality. This is established in Gen. 3:19 that says; “By the sweat of your brow you shall eat bread, Until you return to the ground, from which you were taken; For you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”
Sir Isaac Newton said, “SCIENCE CONTINUES TO CONFIRM AND CATCH UP WITH THE BIBLE. No sciences are better attested to than the Science of the Bible.” As we consider the Elements of the Periodic Table, a Bible verse in Numbers, refers to 6 of at least 8 of the chemical elements cited in the Bible.
Numbers 31:22 22 Only the gold, the silver, the bronze, the iron, the tin, and the lead…
The following element list references their first Bible usage. (That may vary depending to your Bible Version/translation text.)
- Carbon: (coal, diamond-H3095) Exodus 28:18, Ezek. 28:13.
- Sulfur: (brimstone–H1614) Genesis 19:24
- Iron: (H1270) Genesis 4:22
- Copper: (brass-H5178) Deuteronomy 8:9
- Silver: (H3701) Genesis 13:2
- Tin: (H913) Numbers 31:22, Ezek. 22:18-20, 27:12.
- Gold: (H2091) Genesis 2:11
- Lead: (H5777) Exodus 15:10, Job 19:24.
The history of the Periodic Table shows its was assembled by men of Science, to depict how the elements are understood by them. As such, a proposal of this study is to correlate the Spectrum of the Periodic Table of Elements, with the E-M and Sonic spectrums, that can be broken down according to their elemental Octaves. First a spectrum is simply a chart or a graph that shows the intensity of light being emitted over a range of energies. As we have seen in nature’s rainbow… its the best depiction of a spectrum resulting from visible light being projected through the prism of a rain–drop. Sunlight sent through raindrops is distributed to display its various colors of the rainbow (as our eyes perceive radiation with slightly different energies). As Nature divides all her expressions of energy into Octaves of equal tones and dimensions, we can observe how the energy spectrums of Sound and light, correlated to the Periodic table of elements, through Spectroscopy.
A brief history of Spectroscopy is helpful here. Spectroscopy can be very useful to help scientists understand how an object like a black hole, neutron star, or active galaxy produces light, how fast it is moving, and its elemental make-up. A Spectrum can be produced for any type of light energy; from low-energy radio waves to very high-energy gamma rays. Each spectrum holds a wide variety of information. For instance, there are many different mechanisms by which an object, like a star, can produce light. Each of these mechanisms has their own characteristic spectrum.
The Electromagnetic Spectrum
White light (what we call visible or optical light) can be split into its basic or constituent colors easily and with a familiar result: the rainbow. All we have to do is use a slit to focus a narrow beam of the light at a prism. This setup is actually a basic spectrometer.
Spectrum of white light
The resultant rainbow is really a continuous spectrum that shows us the different energies of light (from red to blue) present in visible light. But the electromagnetic spectrum encompasses more than just optical light. It covers all energies of light, extending from low-energy radio waves, to microwaves, to infrared, to optical light, to ultraviolet, to very high-energy X-rays and gamma rays.
The minor spectrum of visible light is seen in the center of the above spectrum, represents what humans can see with our vision, in the context of the complete E-M or electromagnetic spectrum. #5 (Credit: NASA’s Imagine the Universe)

There are 3 types of spectra: Continuous, Emission line and Absorption. #6 (Credit: NASA’s Imagine the Universe)
What Can Scientists Learn From a Spectrum?
Absorption or Dark Line 
Each element in the periodic table can appear in gaseous form and will produce a series of bright lines unique to that element. Hydrogen will not look like helium which will not look like carbon which will not look like iron… and so on. Thus, astronomers can identify what kinds of stuff are in stars from the lines they find in the star’s spectrum. This study is called spectroscopy.
The science of spectroscopy is sophisticated. From spectral lines astronomers can determine not only the element, but the temperature and density of that element in the star. The spectral line also can tell us about a magnetic field of the star. The width of the line can tell us how fast the material is moving. We can also learn about winds in stars from this. If the lines shift back and forth we can see the star may be orbiting another star. We can estimate the mass and size of the star from this. If the lines grow and fade in strength we can learn about the physical changes in the star. Spectral data can also inform us about material around stars. This material may be falling on the star from a doughnut-shaped disk around the star called an accretion disk. These disks often form around a neutron star or black hole. The light from the stuff between the stars allows astronomers to study the interstellar medium (ISM). This tells us what type of stuff fills the space between the stars. Space is not empty! There is a lot of gas and dust between the stars. Spectroscopy is thus a fundamental tool used by scientists to study the Universe. #7

When astronomers look at an object’s spectrum, they can determine its Chemical composition based on these wavelengths. #8
How do scientists discern chemical compositions of the planets and stars?
The most common method astronomers use to determine the composition of stars, planets, and other objects is spectroscopy. Today, this process uses instruments on a scale or grating that spreads out the light from an object by wavelength. This distributed light is called a spectrum. Every element — and combination of elements — has a unique fingerprint that astronomers can look for in the spectrum of a given object. Identifying those fingerprints allows researchers to determine its chemical composition.
That fingerprint often appears as the absorption of light. Every atom has electrons, and these electrons like to stay in their lowest-energy configuration. But when photons carrying energy hit an electron, they can boost it to higher energy levels. This is absorption, and each element’s electrons absorb light at specific wavelengths (i.e., energies) related to the difference between energy levels in that atom. Due to the conservation of energy laws, the electrons will return to their original levels for optimum efficiency, so they don’t hold the energy for very long. When they emit the energy, they release photons with exactly the same wavelengths of light that were absorbed initially. Electrons can release this light in any direction, so most of the light is emitted in directions away from our earth’s line of sight. Thus, a dark line appears in the spectrum at that particular wavelength.
Because the wavelengths at which absorption lines occur are unique for each element, astronomers can measure the position of the lines to determine the elements present in a target. The amount of light that is absorbed can also provide information about how much of each element is present.
The more elements an object contains, the more complicated its spectrum can become. Other factors, such as motion, can affect the positions of spectral lines, though not the spacing between the lines from a given element. Fortunately, computer modeling allows researchers to tell many different elements and compounds apart even in a crowded spectrum, and to identify lines that appear shifted due to motion. #9
Spectroscopy is a key tool in astronomy. By obtaining and analyzing the spectrum from a distant stellar object, astronomers can identify the type of object it is and determine a wealth of characteristics for the object. These include temperature, its rotation speed and direction, its mass, density & composition. Isaac Newton first showed that a glass prism could be used to split sunlight into a spectrum in 1666. Further studies by William Wollaston in 1802 revealed some black lines on the component colors of the solar spectrum. More detailed observations by Joseph von Fraunhofer resulted in 574 of these lines being mapped by 1815. These lines were named “Fraunhofer lines” in his honor.
Leon Focault matched the lines produced by a sodium lamp with some of the dark lines in a solar spectrum in 1849. In 1857 Gustav Kirchoff and Robert Bunsen identified sodium in a solar spectrum. They found that a luminous solid or highly compressed hot gas could produce a continuous spectrum whilst a diffuse hot gas produced a spectrum with narrow bright lines on a black back -ground. As spectroscopes were coupled to telescopes additional chemicals were identified in the spectra of stars & nebulae. Sir Norman Lockyer & Jules Janssen each discovered the element helium in solar spectra before it was isolated in a Lab in 1895. The use of spectroscopy, coupled with the spread of photography for astronomical purposes, gave rise to the science of astrophysics from astronomy in the second half of the nineteenth century.
Three general types of spectra were now known, a continuous spectrum, that showed all the component colors of the rainbow, and two types of line spectra, the first, dark-line spectra like the solar spectrum and those from stars and the second, bright-line spectra as emitted from gas discharge tubes and nebulae. The Swiss school teacher, Johann Balmer in 1885 developed an empirical formula that determined wavelengths of the four visible lines in hydrogen’s spectrum. The Danish physicist, Niels Bohr, finally gave us an explanation of how spectral lines formed in the 1920s. His work relied on quantum physics and the concept of energy shells or orbits for electrons. #10 The chart below on the “Evolution of the Electron,” shows not only the electrons per atom but also the electron shell numbers in each Octave.
Plate 5. Evolution of the Electron [pinterest.com] #11
Chemical Composition and Metallicity
The presence of a spectral line corresponding to a specific energy transition for an ion, element or molecule in the spectrum of a star indicates that the specific ion, atom or molecule is present in that star. This is a fairly obvious idea that carries a with it high importance for astronomers. This was how helium was first discovered in the Sun before it was isolated on Earth. We now know that stars are mostly made up of hydrogen and helium, with small amounts of some other elements. This only became known because of spectroscopy.
Modern spectroscopy is highly efficient and is often conducted with very high resolution spectrographs that show spectral lines in fine detail. Astronomers can not only detect the presence of a line but they are often able to determine the relative amounts of different elements and molecules present. They can thus determine the metallicity of a star. In astronomy the term metal historically has been applied to any element heavier than helium so that even elements such as carbon and oxygen are called metals. When viewing metallicity, astronomers are actually talking about the relative chemical composition of a star. #12
In this way spectroscopy has contributed to the advancement of Chemistry as a Science when aligned with Astronomy, and the spectra of sound and light to include the chemical composition of Stars and other celestial bodies. As we stated earlier the E-M Light and Sound Spectrums can be broken down into their elemental tonal Octaves, with equal Constants and dimensions. These concepts are generally based on certain aspects of the work of Walter Russell [1871-1963], including his writings on Russell’s cosmogony as described in the book; “A New Concept of the Universe,#13“ where he wrote that “the cardinal error of science” was “shutting the Creator out of his Creation.”#14 Russell never referred to an anthropomorphic god, but rather wrote that “God is the invisible, motionless, sexless, undivided, and unconditioned white Magnetic Light of Mind.” #15 that centers all things. His concept of “The Basic Principles of Space Geometry” like the Geometry of the Elements, applies the Cube and Sphere as the working tools of Creation, where the Octave tones of Cubes of Space, map the structure of the Elements of the Periodic Table on a spiral diagram, a masterplan of the unity of these three spectrums. This agrees with Gen. 1:3-4; “And God said, Let there be Light and there was Light. And God saw the Light, that it was good: and God divided the Light from the darkness.” The entrance of God’s Word always brings light, [Ps. 119:130], when God spoke to give Light; and the Sound of God’s Voice preceded the Light. This maps out how Octaves of the Tones of God’s Spoken Words sounded out in the beginning, laying the Foundation for these Spectrums that ordered the Universe.
The popular Periodic Table below we learned from in Chemistry-Science classes shows how men of Science have understood and organized this knowledge field, in history. But in practice it seems to function as a glorified list of the elements, with the classification of their physical traits.
Since the Almighty is the Source of light, we find that JESUS is the embodiment and manifestation of God’s Light, so the Menorah symbolizes [1.] JESUS (Light, Love, Word and Savior), [2.] His Word, the BIBLE (49 scrolls with 66/70 books, they are the light that lightens this dark world) and [3.] The “BOOK OF LIFE,” that is eternal life (Rev 3:5; 20:12-15) and our way of life, the light in a dark world (Mt. 5:13-16). As we shine our light and as disciples, are an example to the world, our name stands forever in the Book of Life. This is our hope and joy. A Biblical Table of Elements is based on the pattern of the Menorah, found below. For more information: [The Menorah Periodic System of the Elements]
The Menorah Model of the Periodic System of the Elements.
The Menorah is not a normal lampstand; it is a miracle, just as the Bible itself is also a miracle. #16
Does God’s Word only refer to the Menorah in the singular? If we focus on Rev. 1:10-20, we will see one like the Son of Man holding a Menorah in his right hand. Verse 4 depicts Foreshadowing to interpret the text telling us; 4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be to you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne. This verse identifies the seven spirits, which are the angels of the seven Churches in verse 20, along with the seven churches of Asia that John is addressing. Its interesting that these seven Churches embody multiple families as members of seven churches, that constitute the spiritual body of Christ. We also take note that an order of seven angels also implies a cadre of angelic cohorts under Christ’s authority at God’s right Hand. The word “seven” being repeated 12 times in Rev. 1, implies a a structure unto this end. This provides a view of a seven-fold Order of Angels in Christ’s right hand, that mirrors His seven-fold Lordship over the Church of his Spiritual Body, [Eph. 6:12]
Rev. 1:10-20
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, 11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. 12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candle -sticks; 13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. 14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. 16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. 17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. 19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter; 20 The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden candle-sticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which you saw are the seven churches.
Menorah painting by David G. Vogel. #17
Vogel writes regarding the Menorah in Exodus 25: “I found it intriguing that the almond blossom is used to describe its bulbs and branches. #18
As Ex. 25 shows us, the Menorah’s structure imprinted with the pattern of the Almond tree. The Almond tree sprouts its leaves based on the Fibonacci series with every 13 leaves, 5 spirals are produced. Ex. 25:31-40 says there were 13+1 and 21+1 almond flowers and buds engraved into the Menorah-candle. So 14-is the 1st number of the next spiral of almond leaves that spiral 5x every 13 leaves. An almond branch pattern was seen too on Aaron’s budding Rod. Aaron’s rod embodied the tribe of Levi put by Moses into the Tabernacle with 12 rods of Israel’s enduring tribes-totaling 13, out of which only Aaron’s rod, not only budded, but blossomed and bore ripe almond fruit in one night.
Jesus is the living Menorah. He was the light that the whole world was waiting for. He not only paid the debt for our sins, but also showed us the way to the eternal light. As we find the Menorah framing the image of the almond tree, whose Bulbs, branches and blossoms-flower according to the spiral pattern of the Fibonacci series that spiral 5x for every 13 leaves. As seen above, the Periodic Table of the Elements also adopts the form of a Menorah, both as a single Menorah, and below in Walter Russell’s Periodic Table as a series of aligned Menorah’s, forming the Octaves of elements in the Periodic Table. Once the elements with similar chemical properties are put nearest each other as possible, a spiral form is generated resembling a series of 7-branched lamp-stands of God. This reveals Who the Creator of all chemical elements is, Who created everything and ordered the visible and invisible Universe. The Bible describes in detail the Creator and Maker of the Universe and all the stars of the expanse. (John 3:1; 1Cor. 8:6, 15:21-28; Rom. 1:19-25; Gen. 1-2, Heb. 1:2).
The 9 Octaves of Walter Russell’s Periodic Table of Elements- A. #19
In Walter Russell’s Periodic Table seen below, the 9 Octaves of the Periodic Table of Elements are mapped on a series of Menorah’s laid out consecutively, end to end in Complimentary order, forming the 9 Elemental Octaves. These Lampstands are upheld by the 9 Octave division lines [Central Candles] between the red and blue quarter-arches on the Table below.

Terrence Howard’s comments on Walter Russell’s Periodic Table [High Resolution 4k] #21
Walter Russell’s periodic table is not just a list of elements; but is a dynamic concept of the energy of the Universe. Unlike the Periodic tables, we trained on, Walter Russell’s Table orders elements in spirals and octaves, forming a gradient of matter and energy.
We pick up on the interchange between Howard and Rogan early in their conversation; Rogan–
Mr. Howard responded with [00:24:45] “They interact, but in the conventional use they feel that carbon will always be carbon. And it will have its half life and keep breaking down, but it’d still be carbon. They don’t understand that it unwinds and becomes nitrogen. Nitrogen also unwinds and becomes oxygen. #23
Howard continues with his comments; “The first visible element we can perceive on Russell’s Table is hydrogen, that bonds to carbon, situated at the transition point between the 4th and 5th Octaves a mid-point between two noble gasses.”24
According to Russell’s Periodic Table the element of Hydrogen is the 1st visible element that opens the 4th Octave, as the elements of the first 3 Octaves are too dense to be visible. These first 3 dense Octaves consist of 6 Menorah quarter– arches bonded together at the transition points between the 1st [Alphanon] and 2nd [Betanon] Octaves, and the Second and 3rd [Gamanon] Octaves. Hydrogen sits where the central candle of the 3rd Menorah/Octave transitions to the fourth Menorah/Octave at Helium, followed by Lithium, the first element of the quarter-arch in the fifth Menorah/Octave.
Howard goes on; “But as we reach into the 5th Octave, the carbon octave, is known as the dual tone, since Carbon has two tones, seen in its negative and positive sides, as a charging element where the negative elements are dis-charged. The lithium becomes sodium in the next octave, doubles the same exact tone, just doubled and wider. The sodium becomes potassium in the next octave, as it widens.
Lithium is contractive, with beryllium and Boron that are also contractive. But the moment we get to carbon, it balances out. Mr. Howard goes on to say that “it reaches a perfect balance of plus and minus four, as a double tone. Then nitrogen is minus three, one minus three. Oxygen is minus two, fluorine is minus one. The balance of this structure is seen in that all these elements have mates. Fluorine and lithium naturally mate. For example, if you have lithium bonded with any other element, the moment fluorine is introduced, it breaks all bonds violently, so it can bond with fluorine. Same thing with beryllium and oxygen. If you want to break water into its component parts of hydrogen and oxygen, all you have to do is introduce beryllium, or the sound of beryllium, and oxygen will violently break away from any other thing, even hydrogen, to bond with beryllium. And we can do this with just the frequency of beryllium. You can separate those up into one tube, the oxygen into another tube, without using electrolysis, or using heat. Just by using the frequency. And the proof of it, if you return up just a bit higher, we know the relationship between sodium and chlorine.”#25
They’re equal and opposite mates. If you get out of the pool and you got chlorine and you’re itching from the chlorine, all you have to do is get some real salt and rub that on your skin, and it’ll turn right into an oil. It naturally neutralizes each other. So everything has an equal and opposite mate.
Hydrogen has the same tone as Carbon. Same tonal value of 40.5. The next one would be 81 hz. then you go to Silicon, which doubles at 162 hz. Next we find Cobalt at 324 hz. which is part of the base, of their common tonal values, and linked colors, that convert color back into sound based on their shared wave-length. This would fall in the minimum at double the length or a bit longer. As long as we continue to divide light by two, we will ultimately get back to its audible sound. Due to this relation between the 3 spectrums of light and color, sound and tone, with their related elemental matter and form, we will find a variance between Mendeleev’s Periodic Table, vs. Walter Russell’s Table, which is unwinding.#26
A key observation here in understanding how these 3 related spectrums work together is noted in Terrence Howard’s comments above; where he refers to the common tonal values of Silicon, that opens the 6th Octave and Cobalt that closes the 6th Octave as it transitions to the 7th Menorah/Octave. Howard refers to not only shared tones, but also linked colors that convert color to sound via shared wavelengths. Even as the Color Wheel of visible light depicts not only the complimentary tones of the visible light spectrum, but also the colors that neutralize their mated and opposing colors on the Color Wheel.
The Color Wheel [https://clonepainting.weebly.com/color-wheel.html] #27
Even as the mated colors of the Color Wheel neutralize their opposing color on the wheel, so to do the mated elements neutralize the chemistry of their mated elements on Walter Russell’s Spiral Periodic Table.
[00:25:14] Joe asks; With Walter Russell’s version of the periodic table. How is his version of the periodic table perceived by people who study this? #28
Mr. Howard responds; Well, now everyone wants to use it. If you can go to my, in my book, there’s a picture of Einstein reading Walter Russell’s first book, second book, the Universal one, because when Walter wrote this in 1926, he sent it out to 300 different universities and physicists. And one of the quotes that Walter Russell said, Einstein says on his deathbed, I should have spent more time reading Walter Russell’s work. And now they’re taking it under their wing. But remember the Michelson Morley experiment from 1887? They were trying to prove whether there was an ether or an effect of an ether or the quintessence, that everything came from that used to be called the The fifth element, that everything from antiquity, everyone understood that something, just doesn’t come out of nothing. #29
The reason that arsenic kills us is that because our DNA has nitrogen and it has phosphorus in it, because nitrogen unwinds into the next octave right after silicone and becomes phosphorus. Our DNA has both of those in there, but it’s going by tone. So the moment arsenic, which sits as a minus three on the next octave, the moment arsenic is introduced, the body thinks that, oh, this is my thing that I need. And it tries to wrap itself around the arsenic, but it makes the DNA unravel because it’s four times as large as that nitrogen. And those other little elements, titanium, vanadium, chromium, magnesium, and iron, all of those aren’t true elements. Those are isotopes, those things, those first three are the full tones. They make full spheres. But then it becomes elliptical with titanium, vanadium, and chromium. And on the other side, the 1st turn of the spiral of elements on the [Menorah] spiral is really tight, and dense-as we see in the first three sub-atomic Octaves. The 2nd time around [the spiral] we don’t see much of a difference between the third time around. Then we start seeing hydrogen. The fourth time around, we can see carbon. But in between each one of them, nature does not allow us in the silicone octave to expand out. But there is the same titanium, vanadium, chromium, magnesium, & iron that show between aluminum and silicone. But now with the wave conjugations, we couldn’t do that before because we didn’t know the angles of incidence necessary to open these things up. And you can’t do that with the platonic solids because the platonic solids were averages and approximations.”#30
The Spiral Mirabilis Phi Pattern as seen in the Plant Kingdom and the Heavens
This is why the galaxy is a circular disk in the first place. Everything, all motion is expressed in waves. All waves are expressed in curves. It always makes spirals. These spirals based on the Phi ratio and Fibonacci number series found in the structure of Creator’s life systems of our planet. The graphic below shows a 34/21 Fibonacci spiral that orders the Sunflower’s seed pattern.
All these numbers are part of the mathematical Fibonacci series: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55… This Fibonacci series is generated by adding together the preceding two numbers in this series.
Spiral Diagram of Russell’s Table Elements of 4th through the 6th Octaves. #32
Because the universe must be balanced, which Einstein left out in his Theory of relativity, the balancing side of the gravity. Gravity is caused by electric force. Electricity is always seeking a higher pressure condition. It spins northeast as trying to get to the center of a cone. But the next electric wave is coming, so it gets pushed out, and as it’s pushed out, it gets to the vortices, and that’s some on those vortices. Now, instead of it spinning northeasterly, centripetally, it’s forced to spin centrifugally, and it spins southwesterly and it expands out. It decays. It keeps decaying until you get four magnetic waves that hit each other at 120 degree angles. At that point, they reconvert back into the electric field.
Another death blow to gravity was the fact that it’s not a constant. It could not be a constant, because things weigh heavier on the poles of the earth on the surface of the poles than it does at the equator. They’re heavier at the poles than they are at the equator. And the further away from the earth you go, the less hold is has, as with the gravitational forces on the Astronauts when they blast off, they have to break away from the earth’s gravity, but once they get further away from Earth’s gravitational field, Gravity’s hold decreases and they become suspended and can float in space. So there’s no consistency with gravity. It is not a constant, it is a coefficient, and it’s more so just an effect. And it’s the same thing with the Planck scale. You look at the Planck scale or Planck length or the Planck weight, all of those are based upon gravity and they’re supposed to occur at ten to the 15th, ten to the minus 15th, the Planck scale. #33
[01:51:54]
But they’ve already said that at a small molecular level, at the nuclear level, gravity has no effect. So how is that part of a Planck scale? You know, there’s a guy Fleming that talks a lot about this, but you take that, you look at the speed of light. Is that a constant? You know, in 1928, they saw that there were variant fluctuations between 1928 and 1948, between the speed of light and then out of nowhere. And Rupert Sheldrakes talks about this out of nowhere. They began to be a constant again, where there were fluctuations before. And he asked one of the professors about it and he said, oh, it’s a thing we call “intellectual phase locking,” where when they get different measurements for the speed of light, all of the scientists around the world will average it out to one thing instead of showing the fluctuations in it.
[01:53:11]
No. They’ve been able to measure light, the speed of light, since Galileo was measuring IO going around Jupiter. And that’s how they came up with the speed of light, was how he watched IO-a moon going around Jupiter and saw that there was a difference in how the light behaved. And they’ve been able to get very close measurements to what they thought was the speed of light. But it’s never been a constant because it changes depending upon the medium it’s going through. So there’s no constant there, but they have that as part of the Planck scale. #34
Mr. Howard is really challenging some of the well known aspects of Conventional Science with his assertions here, but I give him credit for standing up to the order established in the Scientific Community. As we transition back to a more Spiritual take on some of this information, we will discuss in more detail the Structure of the Menorah and how it fits with these three spectra. As we have seen already in Revelation 1, Christ is the living embodiment of the Menorah. He is the Light of the World. And in the graphic below, Christ is the Servant Lamp, and the King as the Menorah’s Central Candlestick, out of which the three candles are built on either side of the Central Candle. Jesus also embodies the Word of God. We will illustrate this point from John 1.
John 1:1- In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
This verse contains a Figure of Speech called “antanaclasis” where two variant meanings of a word are used together in the same verse.#35 John 1:1 refers to two different categories of the Logos; a. the Word with God. b. the Word was God. In this verse the Greek word “with” [G4314-pros] means “together with yet distinctly independent of…” and it appears in the accusative case, indicating motion towards a destination, [God].#36 Jesus is our example to follow along the only path that leads to the True God. In Rev. 1:11, 17 we find the repeated phrase “I am the First and Last,” in reference to the first, last and only way to the salvation for mankind. It is impossible for the Logos to be with God, [pros] and to be God, at the same time and in the same relationship! Mark 9 is a great example of “pros” as it relates to Jesus Christ.
Mark 9:19 He answered him, and saith, O Faithless generation, how long shall I be with [G4314-pros] you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring him unto me.
Jesus was “with” [G4314-pros] this faithless generation, but he was distinctly independent of that faithless generation. In truth Jesus is the example and reason for our faith, so he was the opposite of that faithless generation! In this same sense Jesus was with [G4314-pros] God, but distinctly independent of God, and not identical to God. Jesus as a man [I Tim. 2:5], in the flesh, which is the opposite of spirit. [Num. 23:19, Hos. 11:19, Rom. 8:4-14, Gal. 5:16-17] Jesus as the embodiment of the Menorah was foreshadowed in God’s Tabernacle and Temple as the mediator between God and Man so the Creator can fellowship with His Chosen People-Israel in the OT, and the Church in the NT.
The Menorah Embodies Christ as the Incarnate Word of God. #37
Menorah.
The Menorah also foreshadowed Christ as the Incarnate Word of God, as it contains the letters of the Hebrew Alphabet. Another aspect of the Revealed Word that is relevant here are the Three manifestations of the Logos-the “Word” from John 1:1. #38
1. The Spoken Word of God-[Gen. 1:1-3, 5-11, 20-21, 24, 26, 29]
2. The Written Word of God-[Gen. 1:14-19, Ps. 19, Ex. 31:18]
3. The Incarnate Word of God-[John 1:14]
A key in comprehending and distinguishing between these 3 manifestations of God’s Logos, is to realize when they were manifested Biblically. As the Creator [Elohim] God communicated His Will, Covenants, His Nature and much more via His Word. This is a primary purpose of God’s Jehovah names, as each one shows a specific relationship of the Creator with His Creation. The Creator conceived His Creation perfectly and completely in His Foreknowledge, prior to His Act of Creation, in the Beginning. In this, we can see how all the manifestations of the Logos were with God in the beginning, in His Foreknowledge.
The Creator’s Spoken Word, which has been with God in eternity past, shows the active principle in the Creator’s Acts of Creation. As The Creator Spoke things into being that had no prior existence, Ex Nihilo, the Creator activated the energy which only He constitutes. So God created the perfect world- the earth, that His future Creation-Adam could inhabit. However, the Incarnate Word could not exist before fleshly Man was created in Gen. 2. This exposes a lie in the false doctrine that a God-man pre-existed with God in the Beginning. God also tells us many times He is a singular and unique God and there was no one like Him that is with Him. So the manifested Word here can only be the Spoken Word, since it had not been written yet and Christ was not yet born. Since God is the embodiment of Light, this was first manifested as God’s Spoken Words, in the sonic waves\booms as ripples in the molecular sea of Creation [Ps. 33:6, Heb. 11:3, 2 Pet. 3:5]. This is why we find related Light and Sound Spectrums, ordered to the pattern of Octaves. All Natural Law is the Law of God Imprinted on His Creation.
The Menorah and the letters of the Hebrew Alphabet are the basis of God’s Word. The graphic of the Spiral diagram of Russell’s Periodic Table provides us a top-down view that generally conforms to the Menorah’s image, which embodies Christ from Rev. 1, and John 1:1.
Spiral Diagram of Walter Russell’s Periodic Table of Elements. #39
[02:30:55] Mr. Howard’s comments continued; “I have a picture showing hemoglobin and chlorophyll, and you’re going to notice that the hemoglobin has the same exact combination of carbon and hydrogen that we have. The only difference they have is the center of theirs is magnesium, and the center of ours is iron. That’s the only difference. You put a cephalopod up there, it would be copper. The same interaction of chemicals. So where does consciousness occur? [Levi. 17:11]
Where does the sentient being occur? Is it just in the iron or is it magnesium? Deals with the pressure condition, like with a cephalopod. It has to have copper at its base because of the pressure condition. The same experience just under a different temporal dimension. Change the pressure condition, change the motion condition, you change the organism, it adapts. But it’s the same living principle. There’s no difference between us and the plants. And when people are chopping down and ripping things off just because they can’t hear them scream, it’s wrong. So tcotlc.com, we put all the patents inside of the center for truth, love and consciousness. That’s what tcltlc.com means, since I knew that I have a propensity to get angry and get emotional and could misuse this stuff. So we have a board of members that dictate how these things will be licensed out and how they’re used. So it’s not just on me. How are you or your board qualified to determine how this knowledge is applied? What’s the difference between you or the way conventional science has made these decisions in the past or even now? #40
So where do you think consciousness is coming from?
Here is where I take exception with Mr. Howard apparent views. He says there is no difference between us and the Plant world. And he questions whether the Creator is Eternal. Joe Rogan asks a valid Question regarding the source of Consciousness. Do Plants have freedom of will, like humans do? When God gave us our emotions and intellect, and the capacity to be a spiritual being that can fellowship with the Almighty, do Plants have that? By No Means do they have that! When God Created Man in Gen. 2 & 3 He didn’t do it in a test tube, and there were vast differences between how He created Man vs. the Plant world. We are talking about Creation, the environs prior to the adaptive methods of simple organisms, the human body is much more complex of a system, than simple organisms! No Morals or freewill, no intellect, all the aspects of human-kind that set us above the Plant or Animal worlds!! These differences certainly account for vastly more than mere Pressure Conditions!
This Eternal Creator exhibited a specific highly unique process for Creation according to His Laws and systems of Perfect Justice, forming and Making the first humans, and angels before them. The Creation of all the Earth’s environmental systems that support life on our planet was a precursor and separate from Human Consciousness, body, Soul & Spirit., even as the 200+ Anthropic Constants depict.
The danger and Fallacy I would caution against, is potentially 2-fold. You are either elevating the Plants to the level of Humans, or you are demoting the humans to the level of Plants. Either option carries dangerous pitfalls. You also have a potential for environmental idolatry, or a form of Pantheism; as you see God in every element of Nature, whether its the plant world, or cults of animal worship and totems, its also demoted Almighty God to the various aspects of His Creation, or as Romans 1:25 says “worshipping the Creation more than the Creator…” which has been done all through human history, to their own detriment! As Proverbs and Ecclesiastes tell us-there is nothing New under the Sun. He also needs to account for Ex-nihilo Creation, and freedom of will!! The 200+ Anthropic Constants and their highly precise designs and limits, without which Human life could not exist and thrive. This doesn’t happen in a test tube, nor are many of these processes patentable, or rightfully decided by individual humans or even any committee!
[01:24:08] On a positive note I like and appreciate the geometric proof that Mr. Howard provides that the Universe is not infinite; “Like if you picture dropping a pebble into a pond or a pool, everything expands in these longitudinal waves, perfect spheres, unless there’s something else in there. But when it hits the edge, it all starts bouncing its way back. And when it meets, when these returning waves meet expanding waves, that’s when we get our first geometry. So this is a proof that the universe is not infinite, but finite, because you could not have shape without the returning waves. And the waves would not return unless it was bouncing off of the edge of something.

The Spirit of God is the Light of God in Concretion
Jesus is speaking to us in his churches today, to Christians everywhere to go and do the things he has commanded, to fulfill our part in the high calling from our Heavenly Father to be fellow-laborers with God in Christ, to stand with the believer’s together to the end we are victorious, not only in our personal walk with the Heavenly Father in Christ, but also collectively as a Body, in our families into a shining eternal glory. I stand proudly with each of you as we manifest in unity, to let our light shine as brightly as we can with boldness! It is certainly needed in this dark world today!
God Bless!

Was the Coma Nova a Recurrent Novae like the coming eruption in Corona Borealis?
Welcome to our 2024′ May Blog!
We are highly blessed, getting back in the groove after our East Coast trip with Rev. Jon Nessle from The Day in the Word in the Northeast with the New Jersey CFF Believers, & our wonderful Hostess PK Krywos!! We shared on the Celestial Gospel, covering many topics that edified all the attendees. We experienced the much anticipated Total Solar Eclipse across America, which was breathtaking in so many ways in the week leading up to our Day in the Word, setting the stage for the weekend. Another event many are expecting this summer is the ‘Nova’ transition of a Star in the sign of the Northern Crown, with history going back over 800 years!
In October 1217 the Abbot of the Ursberg Abbey in present-day southern Germany looked to the firmament and, in the arc-shaped constellation Corona Borealis, saw something wondrous. “It was originally a faint star that for a time shone with great light and then returned to its original faintness,” he wrote in Latin at the time. He wasn’t the first to see it, nor was he the last. This stellar apparition emerges, then vanishes, every 80 years or so—because it isn’t really a star at all. That Augsburg Abbot witnessed a thermonuclear explosion 3,000 light-years away! It came from a white dwarf, a stellar zombie that’s devouring matter from a nearby red giant star. Once a century, it gets full, and when it does, it erupts, unleashing a week-long hellfire.”#1
This is T Coronae Borealis—often shortened to T CrB—what astronomers call a nova, a word that is derived from the Latin description of these events as “new stars,” which many premodern observers assumed them to be. T CrB, is a recurrent nova that should flare from invisibility to naked-eye brightness this year. These types of novae are extremely rare, with less than a dozen known in the Milky Way. However, there could be more with longer base-lines, perhaps taking thousands to hundreds of thousands of years to reach an outburst. Scientists are still trying to figure out what about T CrB allows it to create these big explosions every 80 years or so. But some suspect it might have to do with the white dwarf’s large mass, which is close to the upper limit for such an object. #2
“This is like a gigantic hydrogen bomb that blasts off the entire atmosphere of this Earth-size white dwarf,” says Ole König, an astronomer at Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen–Nuremberg in Germany. These explosions aren’t supernovae, their more cataclysmic cousins that result in a star’s annihilation. But that doesn’t make them less impressive or important. #3
Novae repeatedly and catastrophically erupt, somehow without destroying their stellar progenitors, all while enriching their celestial surroundings with a potent mix of fresh-forged material. “Novae are producers of elements needed for life, such as carbon, nitrogen and oxygen,” and could be one of the main producers of lithium, says Michael Healy-Kalesh, an astrophysicist at Liverpool John Moores University in England. #4
How do scientists know when Nova explosions will occur?
In most cases, NASA experts have no idea when nova explosions are going to happen, says Cooke. But there are about 10 Novae that are known as “recurrent novas“, he explains. “A Recurrent nova is a nova that periodically blows its top,” continues Cooke. “And T Coronae Borealis is a prime example.” But how does NASA know with such certainty that T CrB is going to erupt over the next few months specifically? It’s a matter of mathematical calculations and visible evidence. For instance, the last time T CrB experienced a nova was in 1946– 78 years ago. There’s another sign that T CrB is getting ready to blow also, Cooke says. “We know that before it goes nova it dims for about a year, and T Coronae Borealis started dimming back in March 2023, so that’s why we think it’s going to go nova between now and the end of September.”#5
T CrB‘s reliable nova recurrence rate sets it apart from the many other novae identified over the years – and is part of what sets this star’s explosion apart from others. “There are lots of nova’s that have been discovered, but most have not been known to recur. Or they go long periods without recurring that we don’t know when they will again,” explains Meredith MacGregor, an assistant professor with Johns Hopkins‘. The time span for a repeat performance of a nova can be anything between one year and as much as a millions of years, adds
Richard Townsend, astronomy professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. #6 A category of novae called Symbiotic novae are slower irregular eruptive
variable stars with very slow nova-like outbursts with varying amplitudes. This Symbiotic nova remains at maximum for few decades or longer, then declining towards original luminosity. #7
That suggests you can’t fully understand how astrophysics gives rise to biology without decoding novae. And when astronomers are lucky, they find recurrent novae—those that erupt at least once per century—as predictable beacons for their studies. Despite T CrB’s apparent clockworklike dependability, astronomers of yore have proved more fickle; the system’s eruptions have only documented for the years 1217, 1787, 1866 and 1946. Based on subtle details observed during its prior two recorded outbursts, “the official prediction is that it’ll go off by September this year. Below we find a summary of Dr. Bradley Schaefer’s research on the 1787 outburst of the T CrB’ Recurrent Nova.#8 This 570-year gap between 1217 and 1787 shows the element of unpredictability that can still baffle astronomers, as opposed to T CrB’ more recent 80-year cycle of recurrence.

Bradley Schaefer-professor of astronomy and astrophysics at Louisiana State University, also discusses a possible sighting of T CrB in 1787. This potential sighting comes from a catalog of stars published in 1789 by English astronomer Francis Wollaston. In it, Wollaston lists a star near the coordinates for T CrB. While he doesn’t specify a magnitude, the catalog has a limiting magnitude of 7.8—meaning that, if the star was indeed T CrB, it must have been observed during an eruption. Could Wollaston have made an error? Possibly, but unlikely, Schaefer concludes. Wollaston incorrectly identified the star from a catalog by William Herschel: V 75. However, Herschel described this star as being part of an arc of three stars and 1º from T CrB.#10
T CrB dimmed out of its plateau state and returned to its usual brightness for about two weeks, *then* it erupted. (So hopefully, we’ll get a 2-week notice for the upcoming eruption.) The T CrB eruption is still in the top few in terms of peak brightness. Its eruption was also one of the fastest. Startlingly, after returning to its pre-eruption quiescent level for two months, it underwent an echo eruption getting up to V=8 for four months. #11
Amateur astronomers have provided a significant portion of the observations on T CrB since its 1866 eruption, which was the first well observed real nova event, and it largely started and defined the field. Schaefer has published various papers on T CrB and even assembled a light curve (which measures brightness over time) from the observations of amateur astronomers. When T CrB goes off, it will only be at maximum brightness for half a day before you must wait another 80 years to see it with your naked eyes. So get out your telescope or binoculars and keep an eye on it!
Below is the article from Time Magazine following the 1946 eruption of T CrB; that references the Star of Bethlehem as the most famous Nova star in History – that parallels my work on The Celestial Prelude, proposing a Coma-Nova as precursor to the actual Bethlehem Star, forewarning the Magi when to expect the birth of Christ.
TIME -MARCH 4, 1946 12:00 AM GMT-5
Astronomers last week rejoiced in a blessed event: the birth of a nova (“new” star). In
the constellation Corona Borealis, the humble star called “T” had jumped its luminosity
a thousand times. First to take notice was Astronomer Armin Deutsch of Wisconsin’s Yerkes
Observatory. Promptly, his beaming boss, Director Otto Struve, sent a telegram to Harvard,
world clearinghouse of astronomical news. Back came a pat on the back. That same star,
said Harvard, had misbehaved before. A crude old photograph, taken in 1866, proved that
T Corona Borealis was a “repeating nova,” very rare. Alerted from Harvard, astronomers
all over the world excitedly swung their telescopes toward the exploding star. For novae,
especially repeating novae, attract astronomers as porch lights attract June bugs.
Exploding stars are the unfinished business of science. Astronomers can measure the speed
of the white-hot gases billowed out by the blast (up to 3,000 miles per second), but they do
not know what causes the outburst. One theory: when the interior of a star reaches a certain
critical temperature, an atomic reaction takes place which releases vast amounts of energy.
Astronomers hope that these “atomic bombs” of the sky will teach them more about earthly
atomic energy.
Most famous nova in history was the Star of Bethlehem, which led the Wise Men from
the East. If it was as brilliant as Christmas cards show it, it may even have been a “super-nova”
an extra-fancy explosion which takes place in the Milky Way about once in 300 years, and for
a short time gives off more light than all the rest of its stars put together.”#12
About 80 years previous to this, the Grand Dame of Modern Biblical Astronomy- “Frances
Rolleston identified a Nova/supernova in a decan of Virgo called Coma, where she (1865,
part 2, pp.104–106) included a section on the Star of Bethlehem. She stated that in about
125 BC a bright star appeared, so bright it was visible to the naked eye during the day.
Rolleston also said that this event induced Hipparchus to make his star catalog about
the same time. In his work called the Almagest, Ptolemy said it was Hipparchus’ “discovery“
of the the precession of the equinoxes that provided the impetus for Hipparchus to produce
his Star Catalogue.”#13 We should to take a moment here to recognize the powerful
influence that Hipparchus and Ptolemy had on ancient Astronomy, and the involvement
of both of these historical stalwarts speaks volumes to support the legitimacy of the
Coma Supernova, thesis. Both of these giants where eyewitnesses to the Coma Supernova,
and if there were two ancient astronomers one could choose to have as witnesses of this
event, these two all-stars would surely be on the guest list. Probably one of the greatest
(and underrated) astronomers that ever lived, was Hipparchus of Rhodes. He is known
to have been active at least from 147 –127BC, making him a contemporary of the explosion
of the Coma Supernova, as he was a recorded eyewitness to its appearance c. 134-128 BC.
We’re set to witness a once-in-a-lifetime Nova star explosion!
A star system, located 3,000 light-years away from Earth, is predicted to become visible to the unaided eye soon. This could be a once-in-a-lifetime viewing opportunity as the nova outburst only occurs about every 80 years. T Coronae Borealis, or T CrB, last exploded in 1946 and astronomers believe it will do so again between February and September 2024.

The star system, normally magnitude +10, which is far too dim to see with the naked eye, will jump to magnitude +2 during the event. This will be of similar brightness to the North Star, Polaris. Once its brightness peaks, it should be visible to the unaided eye for several days, and just over a week with binoculars before it dims again, possibly for another 80 years.
From a Biblical Astronomy perspective, to understand the Biblical significance of this sign of the Northern Crown, we need to know the spiritual history that is recorded in the Celestial Gospel. This witness of the stars is key because it records a pictorial history, seen in the constellations and decans of the ecliptic and celestial equator, of what happened before the Word of God was written in Scripture. Almighty God is Omnipresent, preexisting Creation, or the works of His Hands. His first servants were the angels-Chief among them was Lucifer, the 1st bright and Morning Star with his fellow angels, whom God created prior to the Creation of man between Gen. 1:1-2. We know this from God’s Word because there is no record of the creation of angels during the Genesis Creation week, so we know it must have occurred prior to that time. Rev. 12:3-4 tells us in brief about the great red dragon with 7 crowns on his heads. Rev. 12:1 relates a great wonder in heaven- a woman clothed with the sun and the Moon at her feet and her head crowned with 12 stars, or constellations. This ties to the theme of the Great Sphinx with the head of a woman and the body of a lion, that embodies the Alpha and Omega signs of the ecliptic, or the sun’s path through the 12 signs of the Mazzaroth, decked with the sun, moon and stars depicting the astronomical birth signs of Jesus Christ. Verse 3 says there appeared another [G243-allos] wonder in Heaven, meaning another sign of the same kind or type referring to decans and constellations or astronomical signs of the dragon, #15 even as we saw the astronomical sign for the woman-Virgo in verse 1. The word for Virgo’s crown is [G1238–Diadema–not a crown but a filament of silk or linen. This dragon has 7 heads and 10 horns, with 7 crowns [G4735-stephanos] upon his heads. Strong’s says this is “not a kingly crown but a crown of victory in the games, civic worth, a conqueror’s valor, or nuptial joy. It is woven of oak, ivy, myrtle or olive leaves and or flowers.”#16
Rev. 12 lists 7 certain entities that are crowned starting with the woman/ constellation Virgo in verse 1, feasibly also Mary or Israel. The dragon is also crowned in v. 3, The man-child [Christ] of the woman caught up to the throne at the right Hand of God in Heaven, in v. 4.
Michael the Archangel defeats the Dragon in Heaven’s war, who lost his place in Heaven with the angels he deceived, with the dragon and his angels being cast out of heaven to the earth, [vss. 7-9]. Rev. 12:4 describes the tail of the dragon drawing 1/3 of the stars or angels, casting them down to earth, that the dragon took with him when his failed coup against the Almighty resulted in his being cast out of heaven. Under the feet of Leo the Lion and Virgo on the ecliptic lies Hydra the serpent destroyed. This aspect of the dragon seen in the skies depicts how Hydra encompasses 1/3 of the circle of the ecliptic, or the stars of heaven, named by God [Ps. 147:4], symbolizing the angels he cast to earth with him. Verses 4-5 continue with the dragon standing ready to devour Virgo’s man-child who will rule all nations with a rod of iron, the name to whom every knee shall bow, who is caught up to God and his throne in heaven. [Heb. 2:9]
Plate 2. The Serpent Hydra under Virgo, Leo & Cancer on 1/3 of the Ecliptic. #17
There are four renditions of the dragon in the constellations as seen in verse 9; the old serpent called the Devil and Satan who deceives the whole world, shows us Draco-the dragon, the old serpent, the Devil and Satan. The sign of Serpens is seen in Figure 2 below, in conflict with the Man–Ophiuchus. The image is seen below in a triple sign of constellations including Ophiuchus the serpent-holder wrestling with the head and tail of the serpent named Serpens, as he crushes the scorpion-Scorpius underfoot, while the scorpion stings the Man in his heel, at the bottom of the graphic, [Gen. 3:15]. At the top of the graphic we can see the serpent reaching for the crown-Corona Borealis that holds our recurrent nova star-T CrB, the subject of this blog. A key aspect of the recurring Nova tied to the Crown of Dominion-Corona Borealis may indeed be the present reality of this spiritual conflict that continues to rage between the serpent-dragon and Jesus Son of God, that will not end for us until Christ gathers his Spiritual body together and takes us to heaven to ever be with Christ and the Heavenly Father. [1 Thess. 4:13-18, I Cor. 15:51-57]
Since there are only about 10 officially known recurrent nova stars, we will mention another of these stars in Ophiuchus itself, called RS Ophiuchi. Recurrent novae – are defined systems with more than one recorded nova out-burst. There are only a few members of the subclass of Recurrent novae: at this point in research, just ten,” one of which [RS Oph] has a documented history of at least eight multiple outbursts, from 1898 to 2021, a 123 year period. #18
Recurrent novae repeat the nova process about every 10 to 100 years, while nova outbursts are thought to repeat on longer timescales of potentially over 1000+ years. This leaves ample room for the visibility of a Nova in Coma over a period of about 275 years.
Figure 1. The Recurrent Nova RS Oph. #19
RS Oph is about 5,000 light-years away in the constellation Ophiuchus. In its quiet phase it has an apparent magnitude of about 12.5. It has been observed
to erupt in 1898, 1933, 58′, 67′, 1985, 2006 and 2021, reaching a magnitude of about 5 on average. #20
If the Coma nova was recurrent/symbiotic novae for a period of about 250+ years, from c. 128 BC to about 147 AD, it could explain this sequence of events described in history according to modern astronomical evidence, with the scientific references we are citing. Ancient records only record naked eye-visibility of the Coma nova, not potential fluctuations from multiple eruptions of a Recurrent novae, since this is a modern concept of astronomy that did not exist before the 19th cent. As we find in Figure 1 above, the effect of the nova–eruption described in an extra-biblical source attributed to James, as “a great star shone among these stars and dimmed them so that they no longer shone…” is indeed noted in the photographic evidence [Fig. 1] resulting from the RS Oph Recurrent nova eruption, adding weight to this hypothesis.
The truth of Biblical Astronomy I’m aiming for here is that this triple sign star picture below depicts the idea of the spiritual war in heaven between the serpent in his various guises vs. the Son of God, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The serpent as Lucifer first held the crown of dominion over the angels as 2nd in command to God Almighty in the first heavens and earth, [Isa. 14:11-15] until his failed revolt against the true God got him kicked out of heaven. He then laid hold on the updated version of the crown that now included the dominion that God gave Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden, [Lk. 4:5-6]. In the present day since Jesus Christ our Lord has taken this dominion back from the enemy-serpent, in his sacrifice at the cross, as we find in Ophiuchus holding back the serpent from his deceitful claim on this crown. This is the titanic struggle that has engulfed both spiritual and secular history, providing the backdrop and spiritual context for world events from the dim recesses of the racial memory of humanity.

As we expectantly await the coming nova in Corona Borealis, our familiarity with this constellation Corona Borealis, is evident as the Northern Crown — a small, semicircular arc seen below between the signs Bootes and Hercules.
Figure 3. The Northern Crown
This recurring nova is only one of five in our galaxy. This happens because
T CrB is a binary system with a white dwarf and red giant. The stars are close enough that as the red giant becomes unstable from its increasing temperature and pressure, it begins ejecting its outer layers, that the white dwarf collects onto its surface. The shallow dense atmosphere of the white dwarf eventually heats enough to cause a runaway thermonuclear reaction – which produces the nova we see from Earth. “The aspect I find the most exciting is the potential of novae as progenitors of type 1a supernovae,” Healy-Kalesh says. Like standard novae, this flavor of supernovae involves mass exchange between a pair of stars, at least one of which is a gas-guzzling white dwarf. Yet their resulting thermo-nuclear detonation is so immense that the matter-accreting white dwarf is blown to smithereens.#23
One of the prevailing models for a type 1a supernova involves a white dwarf that has gorged itself on so much stellar matter that its mass increases to 1.4 times that of the sun—something known as the Chandrasekhar limit. Beyond this threshold, the white dwarf becomes too bulky to support its own weight, triggering a thermonuclear cascade that causes it to explosively self-destruct. The key question, then, is: “How do these white dwarfs accrete enough material to surpass the Chandrasekhar limit?” König says. And because type 1a super-novae in principle all blow up the same way regardless of their cosmic address their detonations serve as important ticks on astronomers’ rulers for gauging vast intergalactic distances; teasing out any quirks in the similar-but-smaller explosions of regular, not-so-super novae, then, could lead to subtle tweaks to type 1a-based (mis)measurements of the universe.#24
Astronomers are also aiming to use T CrB’s imminent eruption to understand this specific nova’s three baffling idiosyncrasies. “No other novae that we know exhibit such behaviors,” says Vladislav Marchev, an astronomer at the Institute of Astronomy in Bulgaria.#25
Most novae stay dim, dramatically brightening only during an eruption—but not T CrB. Its first oddity is that for about a decade both before and after an explosion, it exists in a “high state” of modest brightness, emitting “a hot, blue, violent light,” Schaefer says. “Why does the high state turn off? For that matter, why does the high state turn on? We don’t have the faintest idea as to what’s going on.”#26
The second strange feature is its pre-eruption brightness dip, which happens about a year prior to the eruption. “It’s a weird, unprecedented mystery—and it’s also a harbinger of an upcoming eruption,” Schaefer says. Third, a couple of months after T CrB’s explosion, it seems to produce a secondary eruption —bright but not rising to the brightness of the initial outburst—that can last for several weeks or months. “The secondary maximum has been a long-lasting mystery,” Munari says. But he offers a possible solution in a recent preprint: it’s an illusion, not another eruption.#27
What triggers a nova event?
In addition to knowing when some of the more predictable nova events like
T CrB’s will occur, NASA experts also know why they happen. The white dwarf T CrB, for instance, exists in a binary system, meaning it’s one of two stars orbiting around each other. The other is the red giant.
White dwarfs have masses similar to the Sun, but have a diameter around a hundred times smaller, making them comparable in size to Earth, he says. And that high mass but relatively small size makes a white dwarf’s gravity especially strong. As the red giant in T CrB’s system ejects matter, T CrB’s gravity attracts or collects it on its own surface, doing so for years and years, until it reaches its limit. #28
“What’s happening in the system is that the red giant star is dumping all of this material on the surface of the white dwarf,” says Cooke. “And when too much gets on the surface of the white dwarf (T CrB) you get a thermonuclear reaction, like in a bomb, and the white dwarf blows off that material.” “It keeps going through this cycle of accumulating material from the bigger star over and over again,” says MacGregor. “It usually takes thousands of years to build to the point where you see a nova. But T Coronae Borealis seems to do it much faster, which makes it a rare one.”#29
Townsend offers a similar description, explaining that once a sufficient amount of material has accumulated on T CrB and its temperature reaches a few million degrees Celsius, a nuclear fusion reaction begins burning, creating the highly visible nova event many are now eagerly anticipating. “These are the same reactions that are ongoing in the core of the Sun, and they release a vast amount of energy in the surface layers of the white dwarf,” says Townsend. “The energy release causes the white dwarf to temporarily out-shine its red giant companion, and the overall light output from both stars – when seen here on Earth – increases by a factor of between a thousand and 100,000.” This type of outburst event helps NASA experts understand the mass transfer that takes place between stars in binary systems and the thermo-nuclear explosions that result when the white dwarf goes nova. It’s a process that in the case of T CrB happens repeatedly. #30
This process is not to be confused with the formation of a “new star,” but rather T CrB is simply becoming visible to us thanks to these far-off nuclear reactions. “It’s a star that already exists. The star has always been there, but to us it looks like there’s suddenly a new star because we can’t always see it,” MacGregor explains. “White dwarfs are so small we cannot see them with the naked eye.
But because of the fusion reaction that’s occurring, we’re temporarily able to
see it. You could go out in your driveway at night and see this.”[1] #31
Once T CrB‘s brightness reaches its peak it could even be as bright as the planet Mars, adds Cooke. And it is expected to remain fiery and visible to the unaided eye for at least a few days, but its explosive event could very well last more than a week. And then, once the white dwarf rids itself of all the material it’s accumulated from the larger red star, T CrB will once again dim into obscurity, unseen for decades more…#32
This set of circumstances surrounding a Recurrent Novae could very well fit the context of the Nova in Coma over the 275 year period that it was visible to the naked eye. Ancient history doesn’t necessarily give us a continuous history of the visibility of the nova in Coma, but based on some of the other scientific evidence that we are aware of in the Coma decan and its surrounding neighborhood, it seems like this is a plausible scenario to explain the evidence.
In Summary, we find this witness in the epistle of Phillipians;
Phil. 2:5-11 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made him-self of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things
in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
When Jesus willingly suffered the death of the Cross, there is no lower point on heaven’s map than the constellation of the Southern Cross. Christ’s sacrificial death on the Cross–his required depths set in juxtaposition to the heights of the Northern Crown in Corona Borealis; the Cross made of Stars set against the starry Crown. The Tau-the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet embodied his last act of sacrificial obedience– the Omega purpose of his ministry to and for the deliverance of mankind. It’s first Scriptural reference in Gen. 3:15 points to the Seed of the woman, by the Divine Son’s sufferings on the Cross, crushed sin and death, to give the gift of eternal life by the cross.
So the Southern Cross constellation stands as a prophecy in the stars of the Celestial Gospel, written by the Hand of the Almighty, Who spun the stars and planets in their courses at Creation, foretelling the Serpent’s end at the hands of Christ, from the beginning, who on Calvary’s Cross was prefigured in the skies.
Even as Christ rose from the dead to the eternal beauty and glory of our loving Heavenly Father, Who awarded Jesus everlasting crowns at His own right Hand, so we also can earn crowns from the hand of the heavenly Father and our Lord, like a Crown of righteousness, [2Tim. 4:8], a Crown of life [James 1:12, Rev. 2:10] and a Crown of glory [1 Pet. 5:4] to mention only a few, which crowns are incorruptible, [I Cor. 9:25-27]. Just as we are born again from above, by the incorruptible spirit of Christ in us at the New Birth, so our rewards from God through Christ are incorruptible also, so I heartily encourage my brothers and sisters, and myself to continue to run our races with self control, to the end that we lose not our rewards!
God Bless!
