Biblical Astronomy and End Times Prophecy of the Dendera Zodiac Axes

Biblical Astronomy and End times Prophecy of the Dendera Zodiac Axes

As we have seen from our August blog posts on the Biblical Astronomy of the Great Pyramid and the Great Sphinx, major elements of the Giza Plateau have much to say regarding Biblical Astronomy in general, and the birth and Second Coming of Christ. The Dendera Zodiac is another key aspect of Biblical Archaeo-Astronomy on the Giza Plateau that adds important elements to this narrative. The following discourse is taken from a excerpt on our [try-god.com] website study on the Ancient Egyptian Star Names of the Dendera Zodiac. A key point of this study plainly shows the obvious parallels between the themes and star names of the ancient Egyptian and Hebrew Zodiacs. This evidence stands on its own in support as a powerful witness to the themes of Biblical Archaeo-Astronomy and the Celestial Gospel. But this is not the whole story concerning the Dendera Zodiac. As is the case with any zodiac or star map, the axes of the Cardinal Directions must be known to provide our bearings. It is the lines of the equinox and Solstice, that always show us the Cardinal Points of the compass to the North, South, East and West. Recognition of the axes of the Dendera Zodiac provides even further evidence supporting our case, along with some unexpected eye-opening revelations. Lets take a closer look at these axes.

The Dendera Zodiac records the clockwise motion of the Sun focused primarily on the Sun’s annual cycle through the 12 houses of the ecliptic during the year. This represents one level of truth related in the Celestial Gospel, but there is more. As we mentioned in the full website article, there is strong evidence that the ancient Hebrews and Egyptians were also aware of the slower precession of the equinoxes showing knowledge of the Sun’s longer counter-clockwise motion on the ecliptic. The Dendera Zodiac provides fascinating proof of this, corroborating the themes already expressed in the Sun’s annual cycle. This structure is intended as a check and balance of sorts, supporting what we have already learned in the witness of the Sun’s annual cycle of the year. The Sun’s precessional movement is highlighted by which sign of the zodiac it rises in, at the spring equinox. For the last 2000+ years the Sun has risen in Pisces, thus we are presiding in final 200 years of the Piscean Age according to the Sun’s 2,160 year precessional cycle through each of the 12 zodiacal signs.

The Dendera Zodiaque, a bas-relief from southern Egypt on display at the Louvre, in Paris; this zodiacal artifact preserves in clear and coherent form the complete pattern of the World Ages. This unique zodiac encoded with ancient Egyptian astrological myth preserves the wisdom of forgotten ancestors who understood secrets of temporal symbolism. Designed as a time-dial, it reveals a precessional pattern of spiritual history over nearly 26 millennia. The Ages of Precession as seen in the chart below, are engraved on the Dendera Zodiac in pictures cross-linked to specific stars giving end time prophecies of a Coming Redeemer of Mankind, resulting in an over-arching agenda, and visionary overview of the Creator’s plan to restore humanity in fellowship with Himself. The Dendera Zodiac demonstrates secrets of the full 26,000-year cycle of precession, including end-time prophecies of the birth and return of Jesus Christ in the Piscean Age.

What do the axes of the Dendera Zodiac tell us? Axis E or what is called the fifth axis of Dendera’s Zodiac points ahead to our time, not only because its designers foretold of man’s Coming Redeemer, rather it prophecies of the end-times while highlighting the climax of the entire 25,920-years of the precession the equinoxes, where we inhabit the last 200 years of this cycle. What people have for the most part missed in the study of this ancient Egyptian Zodiac is that Axis E extends from the brightest star in Virgo–Spica–Al Zimach, on one end of this circular zodiac, through the Sign of the two fishes of Pisces at the other end of this Zodiac, uniquely linking the two elements. As Axis E specifically marks only one of the two stars on the entire Dendera Zodiac, it points out the critical import of the star Spica, signifying the Coming Lord Jesus Christ like no other Star in the heavens. As Axis E aligns with the 2 fish of Pisces in context of the precession of the equinoxes, it points out the precessional age where important signs involving Spica would occur both at the start and near the end of the Piscean Age. As we find in the chart below, the Age of Pisces links to the birth and return of Christ, in the Spiritual Age of Grace. We find these details illustrated in Figure 2. below.

Figure 2. The 5th Axis of the Dendera Zodiac

Above is a close-up view of Axis E, the fifth axis on the Dendera Zodiac [DZ] . Others have omitted some remarkable features of this axis, which we elaborate on below.

The DZ registers the oldest known calender date, 4241 BC. On that basis alone, this artifact is unique in the world, but it also exhibits several remarkable features not found in any other ancient relic. It displays the comprehensive framework of precessional Ages foretelling of the end-times. Studies in archaeo-astronomy based on this framework correlate with Hindu, Egyptian, and Mayan calendars, so that cosmic timelines agree into the modern era. A Biblical version of this narrative shows this comprehensive framework of precessional ages, mirrored in the Creator’s plan of redemption, taking human history from its fall in Eden’s Original Paradise back to perfect fellowship with God, restored through the work of the prophesied Coming Redeemer-Jesus Christ, the Promised Seed., in a Final Paradise.

The following chart shows how these Precessional Ages correlate to Biblical Administrations, revealing a consistent progression of themes as God’s Plan of the Ages unfolds. This provides the overarching context for the plan of redemption and restoration of Mankind, through the redeeming work of Christ-the centerpiece of the Ages. Our TIMELINE section on the [try-god.com] web-site goes into greater detail, explaining the significance of these age-times in God’s Plan.

Precessional Ages Aligned with Biblical Administrations

Zodiacal Sign	Biblical Administrations	Heavens & Earth	Start Dates	Scripture
Sirius	Angels First Estate	First	?	Gen.1:1-2
Gemini	Original Paradise	Second	6480 BC	Gen. 3:8ff
Taurus	Bible Patriarchs	Second	4320 BC	Gen. 3:23f
Aries	O.T. Law	Second	2160 BC	Ex. 19:16f
Pisces	Christ/Grace/Revelation	Second	7BC-now	Matt. 3:11f Acts 2:1ff IThes. 4:13
Aquarius	Final Paradise	Third	2153 AD	Rev. 21

This march of the precessional ages is recorded in the Dendera Zodiac, in a recognition of the axes built into its structure. The primary axes of the Dendera zodiac are indicated in Figure 3. below, from Schwaller De Lubicz’ seminal analysis of this zodiac, showing the coordination of the precession of the poles with the precession of the equinoxes. As the pole star recedes from the star Thuban of Draco to the current pole, in Polaris of Ursa Minor [little bear] in the center of the graphic, we can see the related precessional ages/years BC marked on the outer circle. The fact that the ancient Egyptians recognized these two poles and their inter-relationship itself, bespeaks a knowledge of the precession phenomena. The role of a Biblical Archaeo-astronomy approach to this subject, in one sense, separates the symbolic details linked with the idol entities of the Egyptian Star Religion, that corrupted the original unity they shared with the Hebrew Star names, as we have witnessed and documented in our full website study on this topic.

Astrology as had a vast corrupting influence on the idea of the precession of the equinoxes. By idolizing the zodiacal signs and blurring the link between the shorter clockwise, and much longer counter-clockwise solar cycles, Astrology not only lacks the ability to accurately distinguish when one precessional age ends and a new age begins, but a clear concept of the relationship between these two zodiacs [tropical and sidereal] is totally lacking of any standard, and no astrologer seems to agree as to the coordination of these two zodiacs. They are thus left in a free-for-all to subjectively determine their own systems according to whatever point they choose to emphasize. This led to chaos and confusion where divine celestial truths have been obscured. As the Sun moves on the ecliptic during the solar/tropical year, it moves through the backdrop of “fixed” stars [sidereal zodiac]. These two must be understood BOTH as separate celestial zodiacs, and together in a unified system. The annual solar year lacks meaning without the context of the stellar backdrop of the sidereal zodiac. On the other hand, the very long stellar zodiac lacks an application to the human lifespan associated with the shorter annual Sun cycle. As in the chart above, once the Biblical Administrations are tied to these celestial zodiacs, along with their related precessional ages, the Biblical import is clarified, and the purpose of the Heavens in God’s Plan for the Ages is further revealed, in light of the end-time prophecies of the birth and Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

Once we adopt the understanding and perspective of the Biblical Patriarchs in the context of God’s Plan to restore His temporal order, we uncover the divine perspective, which has been hidden under the debris of man’s dilapidated idols in ancient history. As we recognize the story of the Coming Redeemer written in the heavens, at the root of all cultural sky myths, we can unearth the primal secrets and original symbolic truths of the Celestial Gospel in every culture, thus decoding the world monomyth.

Figure 3. Overlaid Zodiacs of the Celestial Pole and Ecliptic Pole of the Dendera Zodiac

As we can see in the graphic above, the receding pole star is mapped on the smaller inner circle, along a series of four points corresponding to four axes on the larger outer circle of the zodiac. This shows us the pole star in the specific precessional ages going back to the Age of Gemini, marked on the larger zodiacal circle by the symbol “II“, prior to 4380 BC, showing the transition from the Age of Gemini to the Age of Taurus. This depicts Gemini’s position at the early stages of Egyptian reckoning of precessional ages in Dendera’s zodiac, even though the latest version of the Temple of Dendera housing this zodiac, was rebuilt in the late Hellenistic period. As the outer circle’s counter-clockwise movement progresses, we come next to the sign of Taurus the Bull, marked by one of the main axes of the larger circle in solid lines above. On the full circle of the zodiac, Scorpius is directly across from Taurus, forming one of the main axes, while Leo the Lion is across from Aquarius forming the other. This gives us a picture of the main zodiacal axes during the precessional Age of Taurus, as marked by the axes of the Dendera zodiac above. We find the Biblical version of this in Numbers 24.

Numbers 24:7-9 7 He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted. 8 God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of a unicorn: he shall eat up the nations, his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows. 9 He couched, he lay down as a lion, as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesses thee and cursed is he that curses thee. [Gen. 49:9-10]

Here we see the Biblical recognition of the same celestial axes mapped out in the Dendera Zodiac. Numbers 24:7 refers to Aquarius’ water buckets, at one end of the axis, whose other end is occupied by Leo, the Great Lion seen in verse 9. Verse 8 refers to the Unicorn [reem] that refers to the wild bull of Taurus, opposite the Scorpion on the second main axis, seen in Figure 4 below. The context of Numbers 24 lays out the the tents and tabernacles of Israel [Num. 24:5] as the pattern of the 12 tribes of Israel mapped out in relation to the 12 signs of the Biblical Zodiac. [Gen. 49]

Figure 4. Dendera Zodiac with Ecliptic and Equatorial Constellations [Axis E is the dotted line]

In his work Skies of Memory, John Lash summarizes evidence he found of the ancient Egyptian awareness of precession as follows:

“The [Dendera] Zodiac has 2 North poles: one located in the Jackal, known to us as the Little Bear, and the other in Tu-art, the Hippo, known to us as Draco, the celestial Dragon. There are two poles because, as we know, the earth’s axis is tilted 23.5 degrees relative to its plane of motion around the Sun. The North pole points currently to the Jackal as at Dendera, but not to precisely the same place in the Jackal. This is because the terrestrial axis slowly rotates around the axis of the earth’s orbital plane, ever centered in Draco. This long-term wobble marks the cycle of 25,920 years. The inclusion of both poles in the Dendera Zodiac may be plain evidence that precession was known to the ancient Egyptians.”^{8 [emphasis mine]}

The Hippopotamus at the North Pole referenced by Lash, is pictured below with a crocodile riding his back, reminiscent of the description of Behemoth in Job 40 and Leviathan in Job 41. As these figures are symbolically identified with Draco, their description and astronomical function comes to light.

Figure 4. Dendera’s North Pole

hieroglyphs on the outer rim of Dendera's

Lash was not alone in making reference to the axes of the Dendera Zodiac, As mentioned above, Schwaller De Lubicz is another scholar who argued in favor of the Egyptian knowledge of Precession. He points out 2 hieroglyphs on the outer rim of Dendera’s Zodiac that mark a line between Aries the Ram and Taurus the Bull, which correlates to a date around 2100 BC, indicating how the Egyptians wanted to mark the transition in precessional ages, in this case from the Age of Taurus to that of Aries.

“The mere fact that the cult of the Bull [Apis/Mentu] preceded the cult of the Ram [Amon] in Egypt, and that the dates of these cults correspond to the equinoctial positions of their constellations at the appropriate time-approximately 4000 and 2000 BC-is conclusive,“⁹

According to Schwaller DeLubicz, that the ancient Egyptians were aware of and applied their knowledge of precession in this manner is strong evidence of their knowledge of it. Lash continues regarding Dendera’s axes as follows:

“As I studied the overall design of the zodiac I realized there was a 5th, as yet undetected axis. My attention was first drawn to its presence by the figure of Virgo the grain goddess identified with Isis, who holds up a stalk of wheat in a gesture known from Sumerian sources as early as the third millenium BC.”¹⁰

We should recognize [Fig.2 above] Virgo’s wheat stalk as her brightest star, known today as Spica, but in the Hebrew as [Al Zemach] meaning the branch, which is one of the prominent titles of the Promised Seed, or the offspring of God, in the Old Testament [Jer. 23:5-6]. What is unique about this as it relates to Dendera’s Zodiac is that Spica/Al Zemach is only one of two individual stars marked on this entire star map, the other being Sirius. As Lash further elaborates on this point:

“Sirius, is placed between the horns of the sacred cow on axis B, and Spica, the star traditionally identified with Virgo’s sheaf of wheat. This led me to wonder what an axis inscribed from Spica through the Jackal pole would look like…”¹¹ Lash makes note of some specific observations in connection with what we can refer to as the “Spica Axis” on Dendera’s zodiac that are worthy of our attention:

“First, the axis culminates bisecting the altar mounted by 4 ram’s heads situated on the periphery of the zodiac. This seems to interlock its internal features, represented by the solar zodiac of ecliptic Constellations, with the lunar pattern of decans, 10 degree divisions of the Moon’s orbit running around the periphery. Second, Axis E [Spica axis] crosses Pisces at the tail of the lower or foremost fish exactly where the spring equinox occurs today. Third, Axis E, extends to Virgo’s feet marking the tail of Leo at a point that corresponds by precession to 10,500 BC. All in all, axis E marks the moment of precession when one full cycle ends and a new one begins.”^{12 [brackets & bolds mine]}

The first observation Lash points out is the recognition that the Spica axis bisects the Ram altar on the periphery of the zodiac. This points out not only the correlation between Spica/Al Zemach and the altar of sacrifice that the Promised Seed would endure to pay the price for forgiveness of sins, but also may refer to the Arian Age preceding the Piscean Age in the cycle of precession. Lash also refers to the Luni-solar year on this ancient Egyptian star map. This provides additional evidence that these ancient astronomers were not only aware of precession, but synchronized the luni-solar year far in advance of what was previously thought by historians. This also fits with the use of the Sothic Calendar, based on the star Sirius, first in Egypt, showing another reason why they would chose to designate the star Sirius on their star map. Lash elaborates on his second observation as follows:

“As the total pattern came into focus, I recognized that axis E signals this moment of epochal transition in a vivid intentional way. Whoever designed Dendera was looking ahead in time to our age, when the spring equinox occurs under the tail of the western fish, because this is the time that the entire cycle culminates. With the spring equinox just at that position in Pisces, the axial cross locks into unique alignment with the Galaxy“.¹³

Figure 5. Sun’s Alignment with the Galactic rift of the Milky Way 12-21-12.

This comment by Lash indicates not only the precessional awareness of these ancient astronomers, but also how the precession of the equinoxes provides a window into this galactic alignment, in the Age of Pisces. We can see more evidence of this, in the axis indicated by Schwaller De Lubicz between Taurus and Aries. As this axis extends through the other side of the zodiac, it brackets Sagittarius and Scorpius in the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, where the point of the Horseman’s Arrow is aimed into the dark rift of the galactic heart, as seen in the graphic above. To be clear on this point, the axes of the Dendera Zodiac seem to be designed to point any learned observers attention to the importance of Spica/Al Zemach and Sirius in decoding this star map. Relating to Spica, it is apparent that Axis E is pointed towards the Age of Pisces, which began with the birth of Jesus Christ the Promised seed, marked by 2 rare triple planetary conjunctions both involving Jupiter. The culmination of the Piscean Age is marked also by Axis E, at the other end of the Dendera Zodiac marking Sagittarius and Scorpius, pictured above on December 21st, 2012, even as it was marked by the Mayan astronomers, at the end of their 5th Age. This is an obvious eye-opener, which is corroborated by Lash below!

As Lash points out, the precessional half cycle of 12,960 years back in history from today, brings us to 10,500 BC. In fact Lash believes that Spica was designed among other things, to act as a pointer towards this galactic alignment as seen in his following summation:

“Spica, which I call the precessional star, seems to be the master key to the Dendera Zodiac. Axis E [Spica axis] reveals an infrastructure based on galactic features only thought to have been known in recent times. If my inferences are correct, Dendera proves not only that precession was known and applied to a scheme of World Ages, but that the entire 26,000 year cycle was understood in its formal organization.”^{14 [brackets mine]}

The fact that this study of the axes of the Dendera zodiac lead us directly to the timing of Christ’s birth at the inception of the Age of Pisces alone, is worth the price of admission. The details of the celestial signs leading up to the birth of Christ are covered in our website study on the “Celestial Prelude” which is found under the Biblical Astronomy of the Birth of Christ section of our site. The significance of Jupiter-Saturn triple planetary conjunctions in marking the opening of the Piscean Age are laid out there, along with how these Conjunctions were also central in Mayan Astronomy. The Dendera Zodiac as a prominent artifact of ancient Egyptian Astro-archaeology it provides an independent witness to the principles of Biblical Archaeo-Astronomy, but when combined with the witness of the Great Sphinx and the Great Pyramid their collective chorus on the birth of Christ becomes nearly deafening to those with ears to hear.

As we allow the heavens to have their say in declaring the manifest glory of the Creator, we will avoid the pitfalls of those throughout history, who decided to rather change the glory of the incorruptible God into any form found in Creation, be it man, animal or insect. Let’s learn our lessons from the Egyptians who stumbled on this downward path away from God’s Grace, into His wrath and fiery judgment in the Age of Moses.

2015 Jupiter-Venus Triple conjunction and the Birth and Return of Christ

Birth of Jesus Christ — Biblical Astronomy of the Birth of Christ

2015 Jupiter-Venus Triple Conjunction and the Birth and Return of Christ

As we summarize the climax of the Blood Moon Tetrad of 2014-2015, we have noted a number of heavenly signs in the context of this current Blood Moon Tetrad reflecting the celestial glory of heavenly signs surrounding the Birth of Christ. In previous Blood Moon blog posts, we introduced the Triple conjunction of Jupiter-Venus that kicked off on July 1st, 2015. This initial Jupiter-Venus conjunction was all over the newscasts, and current events, being compared to the brilliant June 17th Jupiter-Venus planetary conjunction in 2 BC, 9 months after the birth of Christ. This is one of many indicators of the popularity of the Blood Moons in the public eye, as the Blood Moon mania grabbed the headlines of many major media outlets. The resemblance of these current heavenly signs, to the birth signs of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, were noted in detail as the “end times awareness” shot off the charts. The following synopsis of heavenly signs from July 1st to October of 2015, following the final Super Blood Moon of the 2014-2015-Tetrad, shows the continuing theme of the triple planetary conjunction of Jupiter-Venus, with the 3rd union on October 25th-26th.

June 30th- July 1, 2015 [Jupiter-Venus]
July 17th, 2015 [Venus-Regulus]
July 31st, 2015 [Jupiter-Venus]
Sept. 13th 2015 [Partial Solar Eclipse-Rosh Hashanah]
Sept. 17th 2015 [Sun clothing Virgo with the Moon at her feet]
Sept. 17th 2015 [Mercury-Spica in Virgo]
Sept. 23rd, 2015 Hebrew Jubilee opens on the Day of Atonement
Sept. 28th 2015 [Final Super Blood Moon, Feast of Trumpets]
October 3rd, 2015 Planetary Alignment in Leo
October 8th, 2015 [Venus-Regulus in Leo]
October 17th-18th, 2015 [Jupiter-Mars in Leo]
October 21st, 2015 [Orionids Meteor Peak]
October 25-26th, 2015 [Jupiter-Venus]
October 28th, 2015 [Jupiter-Venus, Mars unite in a 1 degree triangular massing]
October 29th, 2015 [Mercury -Spica in Virgo]
Nov. 2-3rd, 2015 [Venus-Mars]

September 17th, 2015 was a key date above since it marked not only the Rev. 12 sign of the Sun clothing Virgo with the Moon at her feet, but also the first of two Mercury-Spica conjunctions in Virgo, the 2nd one on October 29th. The September 17th sign from Rev. 12, takes place two years before the Great Wonder of Rev. 12 rewinds in the heavens in Sept. 2017, just as at the birth of Christ. This is emphasized with the two Mercury-Spica unions in Virgo, within a 6-week period. Mercury-Gabriel, the messenger arch-angel is announcing the nearness of the Lord Jesus Christ, returning FOR his Saints in the Church of the Body of Christ. The star Spica, the brightest star in Virgo, embodies the Promised Seed-Jesus Christ in his four-fold ministry as King, Son of Man, Servant and Son of God, as seen in the Four Gospels; Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

There is also a 1 degree Triangular massing of Jupiter-Venus, Mars in Leo on October 28th, 2015, which is preceded earlier in the month with a planetary alignment with Regulus in Leo, [see Figure 1 below]. This is significant due to the resemblance again of the Rev. 12 heavenly sign, where the Woman–Virgo is crowned with 12 stars, consisting of the 9 fixed stars in Leo, combined with the planets Jupiter, Venus and Mars, forming the Crown of 12 stars over Virgo’s head. This alignment sets the stage for the Feast of Tabernacles week, marked by the Super Blood Moon of Sept. 28th. A very similar planetary alignment will be seen again in Sept. of 2017, [Figure 2.] involving the same players except Mercury will replace Jupiter in Leo, since Jupiter will be birthed in Virgo. This serves as key celestial foreshadowing 2 years prior to this birthing of Jupiter in Virgo.

Figure 1. Planetary Alignment in Leo, October 3rd, 2015

As there were 3 Jupiter-Venus Conjunctions marking the Rev. 12 birth signs of Christ in 3-2 BC, so this triple alignment of Jupiter-Mars, & Venus in Leo with Regulus, reflects a similar spiritual light in the context of the Blood Moon Tetrad of 2014–2015. In fact the Rev. 12 heavenly sign: the [Sun clothing Virgo with the Crescent Moon at her feet] on September 17th, 2015 is announced by Mercury-Gabriel located just outside the womb area of Virgo, united with Spica/Al Zimach, on this day 2 years ahead of the rewind of the Great Wonder in Heaven, on Sept. 23rd 2017! There will however be more heavenly signs involving Jupiter-Venus in the next 2 years, leading up to the birthing of Jupiter in retrograde motion in Virgo’s womb in 2017.

Figure 2. Rev.12 Sign [Sun clothing Virgo with the Moon at her feet]

As we have seen with both sets of heavenly signs surrounding the Birth of Christ and his victorious Return The King Planet Jupiter as the Star of the Messiah, and Venus-the Bright and Morning Star are highly prominent in marking and bracketing the key signs in the dual-purpose of Revelation 12, in marking both the birth and return of Christ.

Another key with the final Super Blood Moon is that it takes place after the Hebrew 50-year Jubilee opened on the Day of Atonement on Sept. 23rd, 2015. This is interesting since the Super Blood Moon was the first Blood Moon of the 2014-2015 Tetrad that was visible in Jerusalem. As we connect the dots with the two previous Jubilees in 1917 & 1967, we find an intriguing history related to the restoration of Israel. In 1917 Jerusalem was liberated from the Ottoman Turks by the British under General Allenby, just a few weeks after the Balfour Declaration had promised Israel a homeland. An interesting note here is that this date in Dec. 1917 represents a prophetic time span of seven year cycles [360 x 7] totaling 2,520 years from 604 BC when King Nebuchadnezzar conquered Jerusalem, leading Israel away into the Babylonian Captivity. During this campaign, General Allenby’s planes buzzed Jerusalem with numerous fly-overs, dropping surrender leaflets on the Ottoman forces, causing the Turks to “wave the white flag” without casualty. As Isaiah tells us regarding the way Jerusalem would be Delivered;

Isaiah 31:4b-5: “so shall the Lord of Hosts come down to fight for Mt. Zion and for the hill thereof, As birds flying, so will the Lord of Hosts defend Jerusalem; defending, also He will deliver it; and passing over, He will preserve it.”

In the details of this deliverance we can see the Hand of the Almighty working to fulfill this promise, even in the motto inscribed on the badge of the bomber squadron chosen to liberate Jerusalem which read: “I spread my wings and keep my promise.” This Squadron of the Royal Flying Corps took Jerusalem “as flying birds” and defended it, and passing over it, preserved it, fulfilling every detail of this prophecy.

In the next Jubilee of 1967, Jerusalem was reclaimed by Israel for the first time in nearly 2000 years, in the 6-day War with Egypt which was also marked by the 1967-68 Blood Moon Tetrad. When we add to this that the 2014-2015 Blood Moon Tetrad was the first one ever to mark a Shemitah year with solar and lunar eclipses, leading into the Hebrew Jubilee cycle, we can certainly see the emphasis the Almighty has placed on these key Hebrew Calendar dates in these last days.

As we have seen the Blood Moon Tetrads coincide with Hebrew feast and holy days, so God was calling our attention to these feasts to honor Him. We are also seeing Him call attention to the seven year Shemitah cycle leading to the seventh of these cycles in the Jubilee, so that both the Gentile world and Israel would repent and return into fellowship with the Heavenly Father through Jesus Christ. The Almighty is moving heaven and earth with added signs of the end times to lovingly call us back to his side. Let us forsake our prideful, and sinful ways and enjoy the abundant peace and prosperity that He has set aside for those who love Him by keeping His commandments!

The Great Pyramid the Boundary Stone of the Promised Land [Part 2]

The Great Pyramid-the Boundary Stone of the Promised Land [Part 2]

Part 1 of this post focused on the alignment of Regulus-Jupiter-Mercury on August 6th 2015, that approximated the angle of the Great Pyramid’s Bethlehem line from Egypt. Picking up on the Boundary Stone aspect and function of the Great Pyramid on the Giza Plateau, another critical application includes the use of these Pyramids as a land surveyor’s tool. This may not seem too important at first glance, but when we consider that Egyptian land-owner’s boundaries were wiped away with every annual flooding season of the Nile, when the Nile/delta part of Egypt was one of the most densely populated areas of the ancient world, we begin to see the importance of this aspect of the Pyramid to the population of ancient Egypt. Their entire agricultural economy was based on the timing of the Nile’s flood stages, and the effect on the workable farmland of the Nile Delta, so the calendar/almanac that arose from this function of the Pyramids, along with the ability to quickly restore the land boundaries obliterated by the floods, would have prevented ancient Egypt from descending into social chaos.

By means of its reflections and shadows, the Great Pyramid became the great sundial of Egypt, not only for the days and hours, but for the seasons of the year. Exactly as a modern chronometer gives the hours, say, of midnight, 6 a.m., noon, and 6 p.m., so the reflections of the Pyramid gave accurately the days upon which the Winter Solstice, the Spring Equinox, the Summer Solstice and the Autumnal Equinox occurred. This precisely defined the Solar-Astronomical Year. For the Land Surveyor’s using the outlines of the Pyramids on the horizon as reference points, accurate boundaries could be restored very simply with the use of only a cord and a stone weight. The Pyramids were also used in land surveying based on the same geometry of the Ziggurats of ancient Babylon, with 3-4-5 triangles, or right-angled triangles as the common standard for the dimensions of the Kings Chamber of the Great Pyramid. These geometric principles were also utilized in the divine dimensions of the Hebrew Tabernacle and Temple, depicting the Creator’s consistency in His Intelligent Design of His sacred structures.

Some of the Great Pyramid’s cast shadows appeared as “arms” on the ground, specifically the “two eastern and western arms of its solar-noon reflections,” as observed by Lemesurier, who states in reference to the Pyramid’s right arm resulting from its solar shadow that it; “lay in close proximity to the Bethlehem line. ” He continues with: “At some date during the Spring, the right arm of the noon reflection must start to align with the Bethlehem line. The first part of the arm to align in this way would be the northern edge of the arm, which is followed by the alignment of the apex ridge of the arm with what could likewise be described as the apex ridge of the Bethlehem corridor, at which point the arm would be entirely interior to that corridor, and thus at the culmination of its alignment.” The Great Pyramid Decoded, Peter Lemesurier, p.194 [see Figure D.] The key to this corridor within which the alignment takes place between the right arm of the shadow of the summer sunrise from the latitude of the Pyramid, with the Bethlehem line, is that the 5 miles between Bethlehem and Jerusalem, along with Mt. Zion are all critical geographic locations falling within this corridor. [Figure D.]

When we combine this with the fact that if a line drawn on a map of the Giza Plateau, in a south-eastern direction from the Great Pyramid’s apex, at the Ascending/Descending passage angle, it intersects Mount Sinai where God gave Moses the Ten Commandments, the added significance of the Bethlehem line linked with Mt. Zion in Jerusalem becomes apparent. This provides the basis of links between the Great Pyramid, Mt. Zion and Mt. Sinai as important markers with geographical and spiritual significance at the boundaries of the Promised Land of God’s Covenant with Abraham. The Triangle marked below [Figure B] unifies the baseline of the Great Pyramid Boundary Stone and God’s Everlasting Covenant with Abraham, to Mt. Sinai, representing the Old Covenant through Moses, and finally to Mt. Zion and the New Covenant through Jesus Christ. The alignment of the arm produced by the shadow of the solar-noon reflection with the Bethlehem line itself, according to Lemesurier, corresponds to the record in Exodus 6.

Exodus 6:1-8 1 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Now thou will see what I will do to Pharaoh. For with a strong hand he will let them go, and with a strong hand he will drive them out of his land. ²And God spoke to Moses and said to him: “I am the Lord. ³I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty, but by My name Lord^[a] I was not known to them. ⁴I have also established My covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, in which they were strangers. ⁵And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel whom the Egyptians keep in bondage, and I have remembered My covenant. ⁶Therefore say to the children of Israel: ‘I am the Lord; I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, I will rescue you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments. ⁷I will take you as My people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God Who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. ⁸AndI will bring you into the land which I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and I will give it to you as a heritage: I am the Lord.’”

A Triangle linking The Great Pyramid with Mt. Zion and Mt Sinai

Lemesurier draws some interesting conclusions in his thesis with Exodus 6. He points out the double reference to the Lord’s strong hand of deliverance for Israel in verse 1, linking it to the dual alignment of the solar arm with the Bethlehem line, which seems appropriate. If he is right, then we have a direct link between these important lines originating from the Great Pyramid as the Boundary Stone of the Promised Land, with other key references in these verses where the Almighty establishes His Covenant with Israel in verse 3. When God establishes something in His Word, He repeats it, and as we saw in the first part of this blog post, God established the Covenant He made with Abraham, [Gen. Chapters 15 and 17] confirming it with Moses the deliverer of Israel. God also repeats His promise to give Israel the Land of Canaan as an everlasting heritage, marked by the boundary stone of the Great Pyramid. As the Prophet Isaiah has spoken eloquently in Chapter 19 on the Biblical details of the Great Pyramid as the boundary stone of the ages, so he carries on the imagery of the Great Pyramid later Chapter 19, and in subsequent chapters of his divinely inspired Scripture. If these conclusions are correct, then we can look at similar Biblical records with figurative references to the Great Pyramid to glean added wisdom.

The Bethlehem line also has significance for the prophecy that God’s son would be called out of Egypt, since this line reflects the general route that Joseph and Mary would have taken to avoid Herod’s slaughter of the Judean children in Bethlehem, under 2 years old.

Hosea 11:1 When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.

Hosea’s prophecy initial reference was to God’s calling Israel out of Egypt, under the leadership of Moses, but realized it’s fulfillment in the infant Jesus’ return to Israel from Egypt. Thus we have the Bethlehem line drawing a comparison between Moses the redeemer of Israel and the Lord Jesus Christ as the redeemer of all mankind. This prophecy was realized in Matthew 2;

Matthew 2:15-18 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son. [16] Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men. [17] Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, [18] In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.

As the light of dawn precedes the sunrise, so the witness of the Pyramid via the Bethlehem line anticipated this Son-rise of the ages.

Isaiah 19: 23 In that day will there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians will serve with the Assyrians.

In Isa. 19:23 a “highway out of Egypt” is referenced, indicating the geographical application of the “Bethlehem line,” which is the exact angle of 26 degrees 18’ 9.7”, the Pyramid’s astronomical meridian aligned to its descending and ascending passages. This theme of a “highway out of Egypt” is a consistent thread throughout the book of Isaiah, and is intriguing here in Isaiah 19 in the immediate context of verses 19-20 referring to the Pyramid. This also shows the first of a three fold truth that Jesus is, the true way that leads unto life.

Isaiah 11:16

And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt. Here the reference to the highway specifically cites Israel that came out of the land of Egypt. This is a strong link to the Bethlehem line.

Isaiah 35:8-10

And an highway will be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean will not pass over it; but it will be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. [9] No lion will be there, nor any ravenous beast will go up thereon, it will not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there: [10] And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.

Here again in Isaiah we find references linking this “highway of holiness” leading to Mt. Zion, the fortress of God’s People. The Faithful remnant of Israel would not only be protected from the adversarial lions in the wilderness, but would also share in the complete redemption of the New Covenant in Mt. Zion.

Figure C. [3]

Isaiah 40:3-5

The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. [4] Every valley will be exalted, and every mountain and hill will be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: [5] And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh will see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

This desert highway is a figurative reference to the Bethlehem Line which is consistent with the theme of revealing “the glory of the Lord,” in verse five. As this Bethlehem line continues from the borders of Egypt through the Sinai desert, it encapsulates Israel’s 40 years of wanderings in the wilderness. As it proceeds, it crosses through the town of Bethlehem, some 233 miles distant in Israel, at the part of town where Jesus was born, and continues on through the Jordan River. The River Jordan among other things, was where Jesus received the holy spirit at his baptismal by John the Baptist, marking the practical inception of Jesus’ ministry. This line crosses the River Jordan just opposite Jericho, marking the crossing of Israel led by Joshua, into the Promised Land. From the time of its construction in the Patriarchal Age, the Pyramid’s Bethlehem line prophecy encompasses the Mosaic Exodus that included the giving of the Law, the transition from the Law to John the Baptist, to the Lord Jesus Christ and his administration, beginning at his birth in Bethlehem, to the glory of his Second Coming. {Jer. 32:19-22}

Revealing this glory of the Lord is also seen in the scored lines of the descending passage of the Pyramid, in their stellar alignment above the Pyramid’s apex, to the Pleiades, referring to the placing of its glorious capstone, at the apex of the Great Pyramid.

Isaiah 40:9-12 [9] O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; {Isa. 2:2-3} O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God! [10] Behold, the Lord God will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him. [11] He will feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and will gently lead those that are with young. [12] Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?

These references in verse 9 emphasize Mount Zion in the same breath with Jerusalem, even as we have just seen with the alignment of the right arm of the noon-shadow with the Bethlehem Line. And as if on que, verse 10 makes mention of the Lord’s strong hand and strong arm of authority by which he rules the heathens. This authority is of course embodied in the Lord Jesus Christ, the King of Kings who inherits King David’s Royal Throne, as the perfect Savior and Deliverer that the Great Pyramid was designed to attest to, as seen in Isaiah 19:20. The alignment of the right arm of the noon-shadow with the Bethlehem Line is seen in Figure D, below showing the east arm of the Pyramid’s noon shadow aligning with the Bethlehem Corridor, covering the distance between Bethlehem and Mt Zion in Jerusalem. This miraculous monumental beacon, provides numerous scientific proofs and evidences of the Creator, as the Great Pyramid is a scale model of the earth on a 1/43,000 standard. The 118th Psalm below specifically refers to the Pyramid’s capstone or “Chief cornerstone;” {Eph. 2:20, 5:23} linked with Jesus Christ.

Ps. 118:14-24

14 Jehovah is my strength and song; And he is become my salvation. 15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous: The right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly. 16 The right hand of Jehovah is exalted: The right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly. 17 I shall not die, but live, And declare the works of Jehovah. 18 Jehovah hath chastened me sore; But he hath not given me over unto death. 19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will enter into them, I will give thanks unto Jehovah. 20 This is the gate of Jehovah; The righteous will enter into it. 21 I will give thanks unto thee; for thou hast answered me, And art become my salvation. 22 The stone which the builders rejected Is become the head of the corner. 23 This is Jehovah’s doing; It is marvellous in our eyes. 24 This is the day which Jehovah hath made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.

Isaiah 40:22-26

It is He that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in: [23] That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity. [24] Yea, they will not be planted; yea, they will not be sown: yea, their stock will not take root in the earth: and he will also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble. [25] To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One. [26] Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth. [27] Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is passed over from my God? [28] Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends [H7098] of the earth, faints not, neither is weary? there is no searching of His understanding. [Ps. 147:4]

“stretched”- H5186 {natah} means to stretch out, extend, to elongate, to draw out by extending, by implication to bend away.[5] It is used in connection with the stretching of a measuring line here, Isa. 44:13, and in Zech. 1:16, where it refers to the construction of the Lord’s temple in Jerusalem; Zech. 1:16-17, 2:1-2, 4:7 {“headstone”- H7222 [roshah] from rosh-H7218.} [6] Rosh Hashannah as Tishri 1, “head” of the Judean calendar was New Year’s day and Jesus’ birth-date,the first day of the 50-year Hebrew Sabbatical cycle of Jubilees. This word is also linked with the “spreading out of the heavens as a curtain,” {Isa. 40:22 above} prophesying of an “expanding universe,” millennia before modern science re-discovered it.

King David claims the promise of God specifically from Numbers 24:17-18, in reference to the subjugation of the corners of Moab, to the Star out of Jacob. This delineates the division of the Promised Land according to the four points of the compass, and the four triangular faces of the Pyramid. These lines on the earth emerge directly from the lines of the witness of the stars in the heavens, as God put His Word and the story of the coming redeemer in the heavens and taught it to Adam in the Original Paradise administration. Thus the lines of celestial latitude and longitude have their dominion in the earth as geographical lines emanating from the capstone of the Great Pyramid and the “sides of the North” or the astronomical North Pole. It is this capstone and Chief corner-stone that specifically refers to Jesus Christ.

Zech. 4:7 Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou wilt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.

“headstone”- H7222 [roshah] from rosh-H7218 means the “top most stone at the corner.”[7] This is another reference to Jesus Christ as the capstone. Thus we find the Pyramid’s capstone or “Chief cornerstone” {Eph. 2:20, 5:23} catches the first rays of the dawn and sunrise of a new day. We can see the biblical and astronomical imagery of Jesus Christ the promised seed, as the Sun, the “faithful witness in Heaven,” {Ps. 89:36-37, Mal. 4:2} also casting the noon-shadow aligned with the Bethlehem line.

Micah 5:2-4 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee will he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. [3] Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel. [4] And he shall stand and feed (rule) in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God; and they shall abide: for now will he be great unto the ends of the earth.

The truth that Bethlehem was also David’s birthplace is revealed in I Sam. 16:1,18. David represents the glory of the regal line of the kings of Israel that culminates according to God’s eternal purpose, in the ascent of Jesus Christ-King of Kings… whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. This eternal purpose is the focal point of the celestial signs of this study, the subject and protagonist of God’s Word-Jesus Christ. The primary themes of God’s eternal purpose which runs through both the Scriptures and the Heavens are clearly evident in these celestial wonders. These scriptural themes are also evident in the Great Pyramid’s Bethlehem line, when seen in both its astronomical and geographical applications. These amazing lines continue their narrative with the entering of the “promised land,” for Christians in our day as we move and believe together, functioning as members in particular of the spiritual body of the Church with Christ as the head. Israel’s journey from the land of bondage in Egypt, to the promised land is one that parallels the life of a believer, from bondage in sin to the freedom of the new birth. As we make the individual pilgrimage in life to Jesus Christ the headstone, we can have access to the joy and freedom in fellowship with our Heavenly Father. This is the Pyramid’s witness, which culminates in Jesus as the chief corner-stone, evident in the Pyramid’s architecture, since both its descending and ascending passages terminating at the Pyramid’s central apex line, prophesy of its missing capstone at the summit.

Figure E.

Psalm 16:7-11 I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons. [8] I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. [9] Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices: my flesh also rests in hope. [10] For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. [11] Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

These verses in Psalm 16 set in wonderful juxtaposition to the imagery of Job 26, which according to the Pyramid’s descending passage, has the star Thuban of Draco at the North pole, and the pit representing the abyss at the other, under the base of the Pyramid. Unlike Lucifer who embodies “corruption,” the ascendant Morning Star–Jesus Christ did not see the total corruption of the grave, only enough to fulfill the law and be raised from the dead. This word in verse 10 for corruption is shachath {H7845} meaning; a pit, a pitfall, a well, a grave. [8] The rich imagery of a pit in where snares were laid for wild animals provides the background for a figurative use of this word. It appears in the famous Psalm 16:10 where the LXX rendered it with diaphthora {G1312} and Luke understood it in the sense of “corruption.” [9] The architectural application of this descending passage, as is well documented, refers to the path leading unto death, and the grave, ironically both under the rule, and governing the destiny of the Dragon, showing not only the enemy’s dominion and activity centered around death; [Jn. 10:10, Heb. 2:14] but also how the adversary embodies his own destruction. Conversely, the path of life known as the Pyramid’s ascending passage ties in here to verse 11, corroborated in the witness of the Bethlehem line. Both passages in the Pyramid have the angle of 26 degrees 18” 9.7’, but the ascending passage rises towards the Pyramid’s upper chambers beginning at the point of intersection and departure from the descending passage, and represents the way of salvation that God makes available, throughout all 7 Biblical administrations. This amazing witness of the Great Pyramid chronicles the deliverance of Israel via the Hand of God, through Moses, a forerunner and type of Christ. Only God could ordain the miraculous witness of this pyramidal monument to the astronomy of the Biblical Patriarchs, as the universal touchstone, and pre-Scriptural witness of the coming Messiah.

The Biblical perspective of the Great Pyramid is clearly witnessed in [Job chapts. 26 & 38 for further study]. These Scripture passages provide a unique view of the angle of the ascending/descending passages within the Great Pyramid, specifically the Descending passage, and its alignment on alpha draconis, depicting the spiritual significance of the polar precession. This speaks not only of the alignment of Regulus-Jupiter-Mercury on August 6th 2015, in the context of the Blood Moon Tetrad of 2015, but also the Pyramid’s ascending/descending passage alignments with Venus and Jupiter on Rosh Hashanah in Sept. of 2017. Thus we find important applications for the angle of the Pyramid’s passages, both geographically, in the Bethlehem line, encapsulating the history of Israel’s deliverance and inheritance the Promised Land, and astronomically regarding the glorious Second Coming of the Redeemer, Jesus Christ.

The Great Pyramid-the Boundary Stone of the Promised Land Part I.

The Great Pyramid-the Boundary Stone of the Promised Land Part I.

This blog post relates to the alignment of Regulus-Jupiter-Mercury on August 6th 2015. It has been proposed by others that this celestial alignment will approximate the angle of the Great Pyramid complex in Egypt on Aug 6, 2015. As only one of numerous key celestial occurrences in summer 2015, this deserves more scrutiny so we can understand this proposal. Since we are seeing celestial signs related to the Great Pyramid in the current context of the Blood Moon Tetrad of 2014-2015, it makes sense that we should also be aware of potential signs related to the Great Pyramid at the birth of Christ. To begin to comprehend this topic, we must first know what angle related to the Great Pyramid is being referenced. During our dialogue, we are introducing another concept that has gotten very little, if any attention thus far related to this topic; that of a Biblical Boundary Stone. Let’s begin with the Great Pyramid to uncover the angle in question.

The Bethlehem Line and the Great Pyramid.

Figure A.

The “Bethlehem Line” from the Great Pyramid

A primary key to our understanding of the relationship between the significance of the Great Pyramid and the birth, life and ministry of Jesus Christ is the Pyramid’s so called “Bethlehem Line.” This is the geographical application of the designed angle of descent and ascent of its {the Pyramid’s main} sloping passages, which is 26 degrees 18’ 9.7”—an angle significant for having once been the exact elevation of Thuban-the Pole Star from the latitude of the Pyramid. In fact during the third millennium BC, the then Pole Star, Alpha Draconis, actually shone directly down the Descending Passage at its lower culmination—and this was the millennium that apparently saw the construction of the Pyramid itself. This angle then—and thus, perhaps, the passage which forms it also—clearly has both an astronomical and chronological significance…If that same angle is laid off from the Pyramid’s east-west axis in a north-easterly direction, the rhumb-line so produced marks the bearing of the summer sunrise from the latitude of the Pyramid. [see Fig. A] Moreover it has long been known that the same line marks off several oddly significant geographical sites, and in particular, passes directly through the Jewish town of Bethlehem.[1] The Great Pyramid Decoded Peter Lemesurier, ppg. 19-21. {emphasis mine}

Figure B. [2]

Bethlehem Line and Mt. Sinai Line from the Great Pyramid

This so-called Bethlehem line not only intersected Bethlehem at Christ’s birth, but also intersects the point where Moses crossed the Red Sea with the nation of Israel during the Exodus, the point where the River Jordan was parted when Israel was led into the Promised land by Joshua, and Jerusalem/Mt. Zion, only 5 miles north of Bethlehem. Thus the “Bethlehem line” seems to summarize in geographical terms, Israel’s story of deliverance and redemption from Moses out of Egypt, to Joshua in the Promised Land including the birth of Christ in Bethlehem. One possible correlation to the angle of the Planetary alignment is that the angle correlates to the Giza angle toward Mt. Zion in Jerusalem, Israel. When this same angle is laid off from the Pyramid’s apex in a south-easterly direction, the line produced marks what is thought to be the location of Mt. Sinai in Arabia, [Fig. B]. The real Mt. Sinai is not in the Sinai Peninsula but is in Saudi Arabia as God’s Word says in Galatians 4:25 – “For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia;” [see Figure B]. Thus it seems possible that the Great Pyramid was a sacred altar and ‘mountain’ relating to Mt. Zion and Mt. Sinai, as a boundary stone. It is important to see what the Bible tells us about boundary stones. We find Biblical evidence of these land boundaries in God’s Covenant with Abraham in Genesis.

Genesis 15:18-21 ¹⁸On the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying: “To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates— ¹⁹the Kenites, the Kenezzites, the Kadmonites, ²⁰the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim, ²¹the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”

Genesis 17:4-8 ⁴“As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations. ⁵No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations. ⁶I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you. ⁷And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you. ⁸Also I give to you and your descendants after you the land in which you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.”

Here we see the boundaries of the Promised Land extending from the River of Egypt-the Nile, to the rivers of the Fertile Crescent-the Euphrates, as an Everlasting Covenant. If we follow the extension of the Bethlehem line into the fertile crescent, it crosses The Euphrates river also.

Deut. 19:14 ¹⁴“You shall not remove your neighbor’s landmark, which the men of old have set, in your inheritance which you will inherit in the land that the Lord your God is giving you to possess. [Prov. 22:28, 23:10]

These property lines were marked by a heap of stones called stones of the boundary, and certainly there is no more impressive “heap or mountain of stones” on the face of the earth than The Great Pyramid! How appropriate that God could use the Greatest surviving Wonder of the ancient world, as a marker for His Covenant pertaining to the Promised Land.

Hosea 5:9-10 ⁹Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke; Among the tribes of Israel I make known what is sure. ¹⁰The princes of Judah are like those who remove a landmark; I will pour out My wrath on them like water.

The Hebrew word forLandmark here is [H1366-gebul] meaning boundary, the same as Deut 19:14 above. God had commanded the Israelite’s to keep themselves from the idols of the heathens that inhabited the Promised Land, but they did not. Thus these boundaries not only refer to physical, but also spiritual separations. God’s boundaries not only framed the real estate but also the lifestyles of Israel. Boundary Stones on Earth were known to have been sighted and marked from celestial coordinates for accuracy. This was the case in the building of the Great Pyramid in a ceremony known as “stretching the cord,” [Job 38:4-6] yielding the most accurately oriented physical structure on the planet aligned to the four points of the compass, [Fig. C]. Thus the Pyramid provides the anchor to delineate the borders of the “Promised Land,” marked in accordance with God’s Promises to Abraham in Genesis, the Star of Bethlehem, linked with the Promised Seed, from the tribe of Judah, and King David’s genealogy through the Christ line.

Figure C.

A key to the triple Alignment with Regulus of Jupiter and Mercury on Aug 6, 2015 is that the 3 celestial bodies approximate the Giza complex angle of the Pyramids. As we consider these aspects of the Great Pyramid as the Boundary Stone of the Ages, we find 3 immediate dimensions where this applies. The first considered next, is the Boundary Stone of the Egyptian Delta, [Fig. E]. Ancient Egypt consisted of two kingdoms with the Great Pyramid at the apex of the Nile delta, separating one kingdom from the other, upstream of the delta in Southern Egypt. Second, the Pyramid dimensions encompass all of Egypt as we have just explained above, as seen in Figure F. Thirdly, The Great Pyramid is the Boundary Stone for the Promised Land of Israel. The Giza Pyramid complex has also been shown to be linked to Mt. Zion, in Jerusalem; [see Part 2 of this Blog post]. This study suggests [see Figure B.] that such an angle also determines the real location of Mt. Sinai as all 3 sites have ‘Altars’ linked with them in God’s Word. Starting with the Great Pyramid, it is called an “altar” in Isa. 19.

Figure D.

Descending and Ascending Passages inside the Great Pyramid

Isa. 19:18-20 In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt, speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the Lord of hosts; one shall be called the city of destruction. [19] In that day there shall be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the Lord. [20] And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the Lord because of the oppressors, and He shall send them, a savior and a great one, and he shall deliver them.

“altar to the Lord”- H4196 {mizbeach} an altar as a place of sacrifice. The same word is used for both the brazen altar in the outer-court of the Tabernacle; {Ex. 39:38-39}, and the golden altar of incense in the holy place; {Ex. 30: 1-6, 27} which together, figuratively represent the bi-polar floor-plan of the Tabernacle-Temple corresponding to the system of Patriarchal Astronomy, as the polar centers the double square layout of the Tabernacle. This shows the direct geometrical relationship between the ground-plan of the Tabernacle, the Temple, and the Great Pyramid. First the double square blueprint of the Tabernacle consists of two equal squares; [1 x 2 rectangle] combining static and dynamic features as the capstone does} containing the phi proportion, even as the rectangular floor in the King’s chamber of the Great Pyramid. The Pyramid’s Descending Passage alignment on Thuban the archaic pole star in Draco, [Figure C.] depicts the precession of the poles, and the transition of the morning stars from Lucifer to Jesus Christ, encapsulating a spiritual history, from the rise and fall of Lucifer to the ascendancy of the Promised Seed. As the perfect sacrifice, Jesus took the sins of the world on himself for the redemption of humanity. This shows us how the Pyramid symbolizes a sacrificial altar, with the missing Chief Corner-stone representing, not only of the sacrifice of the lamb of God laying down his life for all Mankind, but also as the High Priest offering this singular sacrifice after the order of Melchizedek. [Isa. 28:16-17, 2Pet. 2:5-9]

“midst of the land of Egypt”- [H8432–tavek] It’s root means to sever or bisect. By implication it refers to the center, so called from its being divided. Gen. 1:6 uses this word in reference to the firmament in the midst of the waters, in the same sense that the Pyramid bisects the Delta of Egyptian Nile river. This shows us a direct Biblical correlation between the terrestrial application of the science of the Great Pyramid, and its celestial applications in the firmament, with the earth as the figurative center of both.

“border”- [H1366-gebul] a twisted cord, boundary, enclosed territory, landmark, limit, quarter, space. In Ex. 10:14,19 the word refers specifically to the “coasts of Egypt.” Ezekiel 29:10 uses this word referring to the “tower of Syene” which was a very important landmark for the boundaries of Egypt. Ps. 74:17 uses it referring to the “borders of the earth,” which the Pyramid also figuratively and mathematically represents. {Gen. 8:22, Jer. 49:36}

With the Great Pyramid, Isaiah 19 describes an ‘altar’ where the Pyramid sits at both the center and border of Egypt. The possible correlation with other altars in Israel’s history broaches some interesting possibilities concerning the borders of the Promised land. On Mt. Sinai and Mt. Zion, the Bible describes instances where Abraham and Moses also built an altar unto the LORD. Perhaps an Altar linked with Mt. Zion could relate more with the Altar of a coming 3rd Temple in Jerusalem that may be initiated, or in operation. This Altar may be the final puzzle piece for the Daily Sacrifices to begin in a much anticipated third Jerusalem Temple.

Isa. 19:19 refers to the entire land of Egypt with specific regard to its Biblically recognized borders, and thus coincides with the “pillar at the border thereof to the Lord,” referred to in this verse. What is interesting about these borders is that the only means available to ancient astronomers of obtaining accurate latitude and longitude coordinates was by way of astronomical sightings. Professor Stecchini {who holds a Harvard Doctorate in classical measurement} has conclusively shown that early astronomers from the third millennium B.C. could measure latitude to within a few hundred feet and do almost as well with longitude-a feat which was not repeated until the eighteenth century of our era… the ancients knew the length of the circumference of the earth very precisely, the length of their country almost to the cubit, and the geographical coordinates of all the main points in their realm from the equator to the Mediterranean…the sophistication of the ancients is demonstrated by the fact that they placed their observatory near Syene on the island of Elephantine, 15’- or half the diameter of the sun–north of the actual tropic because they understood that it was not the center of the sun, but its outer rim which has to be observed…On the island of Elephantine was the famous well, whose bottom was said to be completely illumined once a year when the sun stood directly overhead at the solstice…By establishing the moment of the solstice at the tropic {of Cancer} the ancient astronomers were able to correctly compute the circumference of the earth by the use of deep wells and obelisks.

The Great Pyramid Bisects the Boundaries of the Nile Delta

One of the first groups in more modern times to scientifically study the Pyramid was Napoleon Bonaparte’s surveyors; “who found that the Pyramid was accurately oriented to the four cardinal points of the compass and therefore used the meridian running through it’s apex as the base line for their measurements.* Having mapped Lower Egypt, they were surprised to find that this meridian neatly cut the Delta region into equal portions, and they were even more surprised when they found that the diagonals drawn through the Pyramid, at right angles to each other, completely enclosed the entire Delta. Evidently a structure which could serve as such a perfect geodetic bench-mark [landmark-Fig. E] could not have been located at random, and without considerable proficiency in astronomy, as well as a developed understanding of the configuration of the planet.”[7] Deuteronomy shows us another occurrence of this word tavek.

Deut. 11:2-3 And know ye this day: for I speak not with your children which have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of the Lord your God, His greatness, His mighty hand, and His stretched out arm, [3] And His miracles, and His acts, which He did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land;

“midst of Egypt”- [H8432-tavek]8 the same word as in Isa. 19:19 which is a direct reference to the Great Pyramid, but with specific relation to the Bethlehem line, which is the Pyramid’s unique witness to God’s “greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm, And his miracles, and his acts…” the many “ands” of this verse indicating the figure of speech polysyndetyn, which puts individual emphasis on each element of God’s manifested power between the “ands”. This figure presents God’s judgment on the inhabitants of the land of Egypt, encapsulated within the Great Pyramid’s lines, emanating from the center of the Earth’s landmass to encompass not only the boundaries of Egypt and the inheritance of the twelve tribes of Israel, but all creation.

Pyramid as the Boundary Stone of Ancient Egypt

Which hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even unto this day… Jeremiah 32:20a

One outcome of this research shows that the ancients calculated the mean length of a degree of latitude in ancient Egypt to within about 30 meters greater than the modern estimate, illustrating once again the blinders that evolutionary doctrine has forced on modern science’s view of the capabilities of these ancient astronomers. The reference to the tower of Syene in this verse has also been understood as “from Migdol to Syene.” This word “Migdol” also occurs in Exodus 14.

Exodus 14:2 Speak unto the children of Israel,that they turn and encamp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baal-zephon: before it shall ye encamp by the sea.

Migdol marks the spot where Moses, as a forerunner of Jesus Christ, lead the children of Israel in the miraculous crossing of the “Red Sea,” located at the eastern border of Egypt. This location was also the first prominent site indicated by the Bethlehem line of the Great Pyramid, showing the greatness of God’s “mighty hand” in delivering his people from bondage.

Isaiah 19:20 “a sign”- H226 [owth] A signal, flag, beacon, monument, a guiding pillar. mark, miracle, token, standard, symbol, proof or evidence. Here it refers to the Great Pyramid, the guiding pillar and monument which is a 1/43,000 scale model of the earth. The same word occurs in Gen. 1:14 denoting someone significant to come. Numbers 2 refers to the sign or “ensign” denoting the 12 constellations as the tribal ensigns for each of the 12 tribes of Israel, [Ps. 74:4]. Gen. 9:12-13 uses the rainbow as a token of God’s Covenant never to flood the earth again.

“a witness”- H5707 meaning a testimony, recorder, also a Prince. From H5749: duplicate, repeat, admonish, invoke and confirm.

“a savior”- H3467 [yasha] to be free, saved, to give victory, help, take vengence, preserve, Defender of the Faith. [Mt. 1:21] Jesus Christ as the complete savior, as the first and last Way of Salvation for humanity.

“deliver”- H5337 {natsal} to be delivered, saved, set free, escape. [Ps. 39:8, 51:14, 69:14, 79:9]

How should we recognize the Great Pyramid as a monumental witness or testimony the Greatest Savior and deliverer in human history? Certainly any signs pointing to the Birth and/or Second Coming of Christ would easily qualify. As we have documented applications to the Great Pyramid on my DVD presentation on the Biblical Astronomy of the Birth of Christ, his birth took place on Rosh Hashanah–Sept. 11th 3BC. With corresponding signs linked to the Great Pyramid at the Birth of Christ, it would be intriguing to find complimentary signs of the Great Pyramid with the “Christ angle” marking his victorious Second Coming-on Rosh Hashanah. As with the signs at Christ’s Birth, the heavenly signs of Revelation 12, the Sun clothing Virgo can be seen forming in the sky on 9/20-21/2017-Rosh Hashanah; the Moon is in close conjunction with the sun, heading towards the feet of Virgo on the 23rd 2 days later. Venus the bright and Morning star is in conjunction with Regulus. Three days after the Rev. 12 sign on 9/23/17, Virgo is “clothed with the sun,” the moon is now under her feet, and above her head in Leo are 3 planets-Mercury, Mars, and Venus, in alignment with the king star Regulus. The 9 stars of Leo and the 3 aligned planets form the crown of 12 stars, fitting the description of the Rev. 12 sign falling on Rosh Hashanah as in 3 BC at Christ’s Birth.

Thus the Regulus-Jupiter-Mercury alignment in Leo, approximatingthe angle of the Great Pyramid on August 6th, 2015 seems designed as a signal to get our attention leading up to the precursor heavenly signs of Rev 12, taking place next month in Sept. 2015, two years in advance of the rewind of the Rev. 12 heavenly signs 9-23-2017. The Creator is certainly bringing many resources to bear to get His point across is He not?? With all these heavenly signs occurring in the context of the Blood Moon Tetrad of 2014-2015, the signs of the Great Pyramid coming on Rosh Hashanah, and the numerous planetary conjunctions repeating the pattern found at the birth of Christ, the evidence is overwhelming. What follows is a review of the heavenly signs coming next month into the fall of 2015, and the conclusion of the final Blood Moon Tetrad for over the next 500 years.

Looking forward to Part 2 of the blog post, we will see the specifics of how Mt. Zion is clearly marked in the context of the Bethlehem line and the summer sunrise marker of the Great Pyramid, and God’s mighty hand of deliverance. The following is a summary of heavenly signs over the next 8 weeks to close out the last Blood Moon of this critical Tetrad, leading into the 50-year Jubilee on the Hebrew Calendar during the Feast of Tabernacles.

September 13 2015 – New Moon. The Moon will be directly between the Earth and the Sun and will not be visible from Earth. This phase occurs at 06:41 UTC.

September 13 2015 – Partial Solar Eclipse. A partial solar eclipse occurs when the Moon covers only a part of the Sun, sometimes resembling a bite taken out of a cookie. A partial solar eclipse can only be safely observed with a special solar filter or by looking at the Sun’s reflection. The partial eclipse will only be visible in southern Africa, Madagascar, and Antarctica. (NASA Map and Eclipse Information)

September 23 2015 – September Equinox. The September equinox occurs at 08:21 UTC. The Sun will shine directly on the equator and there will be nearly equal amounts of day and night throughout the world. This is also the first day of fall (autumnal equinox) in the Northern Hemisphere and the first day of spring (vernal equinox) in the Southern Hemisphere.

September 28 2015 – Full Moon. The Moon will be directly opposite the Earth from the Sun and will be fully illuminated as seen from Earth. This phase occurs at 02:50 UTC. This full moon was known by early Native American tribes as the Full Corn Moon because the corn is harvested around this time of year. This moon is also known as the Harvest Moon. The Harvest Moon is the full moon that occurs closest to the September equinox each year.

September 28 2015 BLOOD MOON – Total Lunar Eclipse. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes completely through the Earth’s dark shadow, or umbra. During this type of eclipse, the Moon will gradually get darker and then take on a rusty or blood red color. The eclipse will be visible throughout most of North and South America, Europe, Africa, and western Asia. (NASA Map and Eclipse Information)

October 8, 9 2015 – Draconids Meteor Shower. The Draconids is a minor meteor shower producing only about 10 meteors per hour. It is produced by dust grains left behind by comet 21P Giacobini-Zinner, which was first discovered in 1900. The shower runs annually from October 6-10 and peaks this year on the the night of the 8th and morning of the 9th. The second quarter moon will block out all but the brightest meteors this year. If you are patient, you may be able to spot a few good ones. Best viewing will be just after midnight from a dark location far away from city lights. Meteors will radiate from the constellation Draco, but can appear anywhere in the sky.

October 13 2015 – New Moon. The Moon will be directly between the Earth and the Sun and will not be visible from Earth. This phase occurs at 00:06 UTC. This is the best time of the month to observe faint objects such as galaxies and star clusters because there is no moonlight to interfere.
