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 Biblical Astronomy of the Super Blood Moon on 9-28-2015

The Biblical Astronomy of the Super Blood Moon on 9-29-2015

As we consider the Solar and Lunar signs and how they relate to the Hebrew Calendar in September of 2015, the heavens are speaking loudly to those who are listening. September 2015 is super packed with heavenly signs, capped off with the first Super Blood Moon on a Hebrew feast during a Blood Moon Tetrad.

[Joel 2:31, Matthew 24:29-34, Mark 13:24, Acts 2:20].

There have only been eight Blood Moon Tetrads since the Ascension of Christ. The modern Blood Moon Lunar Tetrads have consistently happened on Passover and Tabernacles – the first and last of the 7 Biblical feasts, and have always been indicative of persecution and/or war for Israel. These Alpha and Omega heavenly signs linked to the Hebrew Feasts are notable also because they emphasize the entire set of 7 key feasts marking the first and last holy days with the Blood Moons. They have emphasized the order of these feasts in history related to prophecy and the Return of Christ. There is also a long standing Jewish tradition linking the Second Coming of Jesus Christ with the Feast of Tabernacles, since Christ will finally “Tabernacle among us.” During the last 2000 years of the Age of Grace, Israel has been dispersed and persecuted among the Gentile nations, yet the Almighty has protected them even though Israel did not keep God’s Feasts as a unified body. Since the Nation of Israel was reformed in 1948, the Heavenly Father has consistently reminded Israel of His providential protection, restoring them in stages. The Blood Moon Lunar Tetrads and Solar Eclipses have served to mark these feasts, while the specific acts of God’s deliverance and restoration brought Israel back together as a nation, retaking Jerusalem as their holiest capital city. As the citizens of Israel have shared in their national restoration, they have also re-awakened to recognizing the Heavenly Father, and His perpetual Feasts. The Blood Moon Lunar Tetrad and Solar Eclipses, have stood out because of they are linked to Hebrew Feast and holy days. The Creator views these convocations as His Feasts. These perpetual feasts are designed for humanity to honor the Almighty as the ultimate Source of Light, Life and Love in Creation.

The current Blood Moon Tetrad cycle is concluding with the Super Blood Moon on the Tabernacles Feast, September 28, 2015. The history of Blood Moon Tetrads teaches we should expect efforts to persecute Israel along with the Christian Church, while remaining cognizant of how the Almighty protects His people. As noted above, the modern Blood Moon Tetrads have been significant in marking Israel’s restoration, as a sovereign nation, with its reclaiming of Jerusalem. The next logical step observers are on the look out for relates to the restoration of the Temple of Israel and its daily sacrifices. Preparation along these lines has been active in Israel for a number of years, but we should expect some developments in this area along political fronts in the near future. As the modern Blood Moon Lunar Tetrads have drawn attention to the Hebrew Feasts, a review of these seven Feasts, is in order with special emphasis on the yet to be fulfilled Fall Feasts.

The FALL FEASTS OF ISRAEL

Jehovah’s feasts are referenced in Leviticus 23. The seven feasts are Feast of Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread, Feast of First Fruits, Feast of Weeks or Pentecost, Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) and Feast of Tabernacles. God has done miraculous things for Israel on these days, as He continues to do today!

The first four feasts take place in the Spring of the Hebrew Calendar, which have already been fulfilled by Jesus as the embodiment of the Passover Lamb, the Unleavened Bread of Life, the first fruits of the dead, and the personification of the gift of holy spirit given on the day of Pentecost.

Jesus died on the cross exactly at the hour that the priests offered a lamb on the altar in Jerusalem for the evening sacrifice on Passover. As the priest proclaimed; “It is finished,” referring to the sacrifices in the temple, Jesus also declared at 3pm that day in the month of Nisan; “It is finished.” Jesus not only fulfilled every jot and tittle of the OT Law in his suffering, but His complete sacrifice was finished for the redemption of all mankind. The Feast of Unleavened Bread took place the next day. Jesus was already crucified. He was the Unleavened Bread, which he declared in John 6:35; “I am the bread of life: he that comes to me shall never hunger.” (KJV)

The Feast of First Fruits represents the first part of the harvest. When Jesus arose from the dead, He became the First Fruits, or the First to rise from the dead by God’s power, indicating that the remainder of the harvest in Christ would also be risen. [Rom. 11:16]

1 Corinthians 15:20 “But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep.” (NAS) Jesus arose from the dead on the precise day of the Feast of First Fruits. 50 days following Passover comes the Feast of Weeks or Pentecost.

Acts 2:1-4 “When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.”

Pentecost links with the same date on the Hebrew calendar and the central candlestick on the Menorah, when fire descended on Mt. Sinai, and Moses received the Ten Commandments. The last three feasts occur in the fall of the year, seen in the last three candlesticks of the Menorah.

Passover/Bread/1st Fruits/Weeks/Trumpets/Kippur/Tabernacles

Feast of Trumpets is called a hidden feast, primarily falling in September/Tishri, the 7th and holiest month on the Hebrew Calendar. Moses was commanded by God to make two straight silver trumpets, whose blasts call a holy assemblage in Israel. These trumpet blasts can also signify a war-cry or an expression of joy.

Leviticus 23:23-24 says, “Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ‘Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a Sabbath-rest, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. ‘” (NKJV)

This is a two day feast taking place on a New Moon under dark skies. There is also a marriage custom in Israel of the bridegroom arriving at night with friends to carry away his bride. He awakens her to secret her away, with the prior approval of the family. This 2-day feast may speak to the 2 phases of Christ’s victorious return for his Church as seen below. These and other Hebrew wedding details, paint a picture of Christ coming for His people. There are however different gatherings for different groups of God’s people. This has caused untold confusion among Christians everywhere. The Gathering Together; [2 Thess. 2:1], popularly known as the “Rapture,” is not a resurrection by definition, because Jesus does not grace us with his personal presence [parousia] upon the earth, we meet him in the air, [1 Thess. 4:13-18]. People have confused the Rapture with these Resurrections along with the groups of believers linked with each event, combining the Body of Christ or the NT Church with the OT Church-Israel, who except for the Messianic Jews, have not recognized the first appearance of Christ yet. These are two distinct groups that do not share in the same Gatherings, since all Resurrections are Gatherings, but all biblical Gatherings are not Resurrections.

The Feast of Trumpets is important for a number of reasons. First, it commemorates the end of the agricultural harvest and festival season. This appears to answer to the Feast of First Fruits, since Christ returns to gather the remainder of his harvest for which he sacrificed himself. The Day of Atonement follows on the tenth of the month, and the Booths of the Tabernacle Feast were built on the fifteenth of the month of Tishri. The blowing of the trumpets on first of the month heralds a solemn time of preparation for the Atonement sacrifice; this preparation period is known as “Ten Days of Repentance.” These trumpet blasts on Rosh Hashanah, and the Anniversary of Creation served as an alarm consisting of both the silver trumpets and the shofar, as a call to introspection and repentance. A key aspect of remembering God’s Creation is seen in Genesis.

Gen. 2:7 tells us that God breathed the breath of Life into Adam’s lungs and Adam became a living Soul. This breath is actually commemorated in the Shofar blast in the Hebrew tradition. Since Adam was the first man, he is representative of all humanity, and with his first breath encapsulated in the Shofar blast, we find the universal call for all mankind to repent and give honor and worship to the Almighty and His Perpetual feasts, marked by the Blood Moon Tetrads. The seven key feasts embodied in the Lord Jesus Christ depict how we are to approach the Almighty with a contrite and humble heart in the spirit of repentance, so that we can enjoy a complete redemption and unity. This is embodied in the 6th feast-Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement. It is a special day every year when Israel fasts without work. The theme of unity or being At-one with the Heavenly Father on the Day of Atonement, is based on the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ our High Priest after the order of Melchizedek, the universal Savior of All humanity, the first and last way that the Almighty has provided to be reconciled back into fellowship with Him.

The prophets also linked the blowing of trumpets to the future time of Judgment:

“Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm on my holy hill. Let all who live in the land tremble, for the day of the LORD is coming. It is close at hand” (Joel 2:1, Zeph. 1:14-16). In the New Testament, we find that the Gathering Together will be accompanied by the sound of a trumpet (1 Cor. 15:51-52, 1 Thess. 4:16-17), but this so-called Rapture event is only the first phase of the Second Coming of Christ FOR his Saints. The Second phase is when Jesus returns to exterminate the evil on Earth WITH his Saints, to set up his Millennial Kingdom; [Rev. 19]. Just as the shofar called Isreal to turn in repentance to the Lord and ready themselves for Atonement, so the “trump of God” calls the body of Christ to join the Heavenly Father in unity and warn the world of coming judgment.

On the Atonement feast the High Priest entered the Holiest of all, in the temple and sacrificed for the sins of Israel, as the Aaronic priests after the blood of bulls and goats, but Jesus has fulfilled this after the order of Melchizedek, as a complete sacrifice for us once and for all.

The seventh feast is the Feast of Tabernacles. Here Israel made temporary booths outdoors of tree branches, to dwell in for this week-long feast symbolizing their 40-year sojourn in the wilderness with Moses. All these feasts were perpetually ordered by God to be observed by all mankind.

Levi. 23:4 “These are the feasts of the Lord, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.”

The word “convocation” in Hebrew is also translated as “rehearsal.” Christians should consider these feasts as “appointments” or rehearsals with the Almighty each year. The timing of Jesus’ return may coincide with one of these convocations, so we should ever be prepared.

The Biblical Astronomy of the SHEMITAH Cycle–

The Shemitah Cycle occurred every seven years when God required that the land lay free from planting as seen in Leviticus.

Leviticus 25:1-4, “The LORD said to Moses at Mount Sinai, ‘Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you enter the land I am going to give you, the land itself must observe a Sabbath to the LORD. For six years sow your fields, and for six years prune your vineyards and gather their crops. But in the seventh year the land is to have a year of Sabbath rest, a Sabbath to the LORD.’” (NIV)

Israel went into captivity for seventy years during the time of the Prophet Daniel partially because they did not let the land rest. God’s people were materially blessed when they kept the Shemitah Cycle, and they were cursed when they disobeyed, to the extent of losing all their possessions in war and captivity. The 2015 Blood Moon Tetrad is the 1st linked with the completion of a Shemitah Cycle. As we have seen the septenary pattern in the anniversary of the Creation Week, so we find it also in the 7-year Shemitah Cycle. There was a completion of a Shemitah Cycle in both 2001 and 2008. On the last day of the Shemitah Cycle (the 29th of the Hebrew month Elul), for both those years, the Dow Jones Market crashed. On our secular calendar, these dates were September 17, 2001 and September 29, 2008. The Dow suffered the largest point drops in its history, and in the 2008 crash the Dow fell 777 points. This depicts God’s expectation that both Christians and the Israel should honor the Shemitah/Sabbath cycles. We are currently completing a Shemitah Cycle in 2015 where as the people, the land also must enjoy a Sabbath rest. The cycle ended Sept. 12, 2015 (29th of Elul) and in the following 24 hours a Partial Solar Eclipse fell on Rosh Hashanah, 9-13-2015.

BLOOD MOON TETRAD 2014-2015 Summary

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

Super Blood Moon over Jerusalem

As we close out the last Blood Moon Lunar Tetrad, capped off on Sept. 28th, 2015 with the First Super-Blood Moon on the Tabernacle Feast, this Blood Moon will be the closest to earth in its orbit and appear about 15% larger in full eclipse. We must note however some eye-popping heavenly signs taking place between the Partial Solar Eclipse on the Feast of Trumpets and the final Super Blood Moon on the Tabernacle Feast. On Sept. 17th the Sun appears in Virgo clothing the stellar woman symbolizing Israel with the Moon at her feet as we see in [Rev. 12]. For added emphasis Mercury-Gabriel is in conjunction also on the 17th, with Spica-Al Zimach. This star tells a special story about the Messiah Jesus Christ and his 4-fold ministry as King, Son of Man, Servant and Son of God, as related in the 4 Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. With all that we have just seen regarding the ministry of Christ as it is embodied in the 7 feasts of Israel above, when we combine the narrative of the birth signs of Jesus Christ from [Rev. 12], that also relate the story of his victorious Second Coming as seen in the dual significance of the Biblical record in [Rev. 12], we find an emphasis placed on this theme by the Hand of the Almighty that cannot be ignored. This inter-weaving of the Blood Moon Tetrads with the birth and Return of Christ comes alive in the heavens before our eyes this month! We are living in the generation starting in 1948 that has witnessed the reforming of the nation of Israel (the fig tree) which will witness the time of the Lord’s return (Luke 21:29). As Christ said; “This generation shall not pass away until all these things take place.” (Matt. 24:32-34). The miraculous signs shown by God helping Israel to win the wars over their Arab-Muslim enemies, with vastly fewer troops and equipment, reminds us of Old Testament battles when God delivered His people. The final Super-Blood Moon of this Tetrad will be visible directly over Israel. When Jews are making their booths of palm branches to celebrate the Tabernacle feast, they will see the first Super Blood Moon on this day in the night sky above!

THE BIBLICAL ASTRONOMY OF THE JUBLIEE YEAR –

The Year of Jubilee begins on September 23, 2015, the Day of Atonement, and it ends on October 2, 2016. God told Israel to set aside yet another year of rest after seven Shemitah cycles; as a special Sabbath after every 49 years. It is the 50th cycle called the Jubilee. Just as there are 50 days between Passover and Pentecost, so there are 50 years between Hebrew Jubilees. Not only is this the time to allow the land rest, but debts are also forgiven and slaves are freed. (Leviticus 25: 33-49) This is symbolic of God freeing us from work on earth and the earth enjoying its Sabbath rest. The Jubilee has not been kept by Israel as a whole since the OT due to Israel being dispersed in the Gentile nations, but today both Israel and the Christian Church have renewed attention on the Jubilee Cycle, especially in light of the prior Blood Moon Tetrads where these signs of the end times from the Hand of God Almighty have become central in the public eye.

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

SOLAR ECLIPSES 2014-2015 – A SIGN to the Gentiles

Key Solar eclipses are also happening within the framework of this Blood Moon Lunar Tetrad. A Total Solar Eclipse occurred on Nisan 1 opening the ecclesiastical New Year, March 20, 2015. And a Partial Solar Eclipse took place on the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah), September 13, 2015. Recall that Solar signs relate to the Gentiles. Jesus has not fulfilled this feast as yet as he has the prior Spring feasts. The Feast of Trumpets is the next in godly order, is uniquely marked in 2015 with a Solar eclipse. The Trumpet Feasts remind Christians of “the last trump” (1 Cor. 15:52) or “the trumpet call of God” (1 Thess. 4:16), linked with the Gathering Together of the Body of Christ. This appears to be another way that these heavenly signs are being distinguished between Israel and the Gentile world. The Partial Solar Eclipse on the Feast of Trumpets is a sign warning the Church of the Body of Christians for their Gathering together unto Him, even as Israel is warned by the same signs according to their biblical culture. As we consider impact on the Gentiles of the Solar eclipses in this Blood Moon Lunar Tetrad: first on Nisan 1-Ecclesiastical New Year, March 20, 2015, (total) AND the other on the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah) Partial Solar Eclipse, September 13, 2015, we find key inception dates on the Hebrew calendar marked for the Gentiles. We also find the Shemitah (Sabbatical) year from September 2014 to September 2015 being marked with two Blood Moon Lunar eclipses for the first time ever! (Leviticus 25:9) It seems that if the Almighty was trying to get the attention of the Gentile world with these heavenly signs, He is succeeding. If people are heeding these warning signs of the Almighty, and honoring Him with proper recognition as He commands us in His Word, we should be joyful that our time to meet Him is close at hand. Our judgement will be one of rewards for faithful service, which He recognizes for eternity. For those who do not heed these warnings, they will reap a different kind of judgement. We hold our destiny in our own hands.

Partial Solar Eclipse on Rosh Hashanah; 9-13-15

The Partial Solar Eclipse of 9-13-15 on the Feast of Trumpets

The upcoming Partial Solar Eclipse on Sept. 13th, Rosh Hashanah, divides the Hebrew Calendar in 2015 like one of a set of bookends, during the final Blood Moon Tetrad for the next 500+ years. This combined with the unprecedented Total Solar Eclipse that took place on March 20th, earlier this spring at the Equinox, provides 2 prominent heavenly signs, the first marking the beginning of the Hebrew month of Nisan, starting the ecclesiastical year in Israel, 2 weeks before the April 4th Passover Blood Moon, 2015.

Any total solar eclipse reaching the rarefied air of the North Pole is unique, and the track of this Total Solar Eclipse followed a path across the North Pole, placing it in eclipse totality for about 2 minutes. The absolute rarity of a total solar eclipse at the North Pole on the Spring Equinox is evident, since it occurs only about once every 100 centuries, but this Solar eclipse was the first time ever on Nisan 1 on the Hebrew Calendar. These are only some of the traits that made this a singular Total Solar Eclipse. To show the unique order and structure of the current Blood Moon Tetrad and its associated heavenly signs, we have reproduced it once again below.

April 15th, 2014 Passover Blood Moon
Partial Solar Eclipse April 29th, 2014
Oct. 8th, 2014 Blood Moon on Feast of Tabernacles
Partial Solar Eclipse October 23rd, 2014

March 20th, 2015 Total Solar Eclipse, Nisan 1
April 4th, 2015, Passover Blood Moon
Sept. 13th, 2015, Partial Solar Eclipse on the Feast of Trumpets/Rosh Hashanah
Sept. 23rd,2015, the Day of Atonement-Opening the 50-year Jubilee
Sept. 28th, 2015, Super-Blood Moon on the Feast of Tabernacles

The characteristics of the Blood Moon Tetrad of 2014-2015 have been notable from multiple viewpoints. There is also an obscure pattern that has gone unnoticed by many, relating to the time periods between eclipses. The absolute minimum gap between solar and lunar eclipses is 2 weeks, but as far as I can tell, this tight gap has only occurred with Blood Moon Tetrads on 2 prior occasions, since the Ascension of Christ, both in the modern era. The first was in 1950, as part of the Blood Moon Tetrad marking Israel’s rebirth as a nation, when an annular Solar Eclipse on March 18th, Nisan 1 was followed by a Passover Blood Moon 2 weeks later on April 2nd. The next Blood Moon Tetrad in 1967, that witnessed the re-claiming of Jerusalem by Israel for the first time in nearly 2000 years, saw a Sukkot Blood Moon on October 18th, followed 2 weeks later by a Total Solar Eclipse on Nov. 2nd. It is a very rare event, to see an entire eclipse Tetrad packed together like the current one, since no apparent indications tell us that it has happened before. It should also arrest our attention that both of these previous Blood Moon Tetrads, 19 years apart fulfilled critical Biblical End Time Prophecies related to the restoration of Israel.

The Coming of the Son of Man

Luke 21:25-33

²⁵“And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; ²⁶men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. ²⁷Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. ²⁸Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”

The Second Coming of Christ is the obvious sign not only of Israel’s restoration, but of the world and all mankind. Leading up to this and following the restoration of Jerusalem, will be the restoration of the daily sacrifices to take place in the coming prophesied 3rd Temple in Jerusalem. Indeed the Antichrist is revealed as the “strong delusion,” before the genuine Christ will be revealed in all his glory.

The Parable of the Fig Tree

²⁹Then He spoke to them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. ³⁰When they are already budding, you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near. ³¹So you also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near. ³²Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things take place. ³³Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.

Biblically, the Fig Tree is a symbol of Israel, as we will see in more detail with Jeremiah’s prophecy below. As we compare the Blood Moon Tetrads in 1949-50 and 1967-68, we have noted that they are 19 years apart, but each of these Blood Moon Tetrads represent a stage in the restoration of Israel, first as a nation, second with its capital city of Jerusalem.

Figure 1.

The following insightful details come to us from the good people @ [360 day calendar.com]

“Que. Why wasn’t Israel fully restored in 1948, including the temple mount?

Ans. In Ezekiel’s account of the fall of Jerusalem, God’s Spirit departs from the temple and leaves Jerusalem in specific stages (beginning 592 BC) and then comes back in stages 19 years later in 573 BC, (Ezek. 8, 40). In the same way, Israel is now being restored in stages — each stage on a timeframe predicted by the bible. The next stage in God’s plan for Jerusalem also happened exactly 19 years after Israel became a nation in 1948: The 1967, Six-Day War.

The 1967, Six-Day War

The next stage in Israel’s restoration was the six-day war waged exactly 19 years later, to the day on the 360 calendar, June 5-10, 1967. In this war, the temple mount was captured along with east Jerusalem. Thus, June 5th, 1967, was also Pentecost on the 360 calendar.

Que. But why 19 years later?

Ans. Because, from Ezekiel’s vision about the temple (573 BC) until when Israel became a nation are 1260 + 1260 years, that is 2520 years. (2520 days represents a seven-year period on the 360 calendar. {360 x 7 = 2520 days.}) Thus, 2520 years, plus 19 more years equals 2539. And so, from 573 BC to 1967 are 2539 years.

So, what’s important about 2539 years?

It happens that seven years on the regular Jewish calendar amounts to 2539 days in both 1948 and 1967. Thus, the seventh anniversary after Israel became a nation occurred exactly 2539 days later on the regular Jewish calendar, (i.e., 1948-1955). And the same is true of the seventh anniversary of the 1967 War, (i.e., 1967-1974). Hence, in God’s heavenly schematic, 2539 days correspond to the previous 2539 years back to the prophecy of Ezekiel in 573 BC! (The 1973 Yom Kippur war fits into this scheme too, but to stay focused on 1948 we will not digress.)

Thus, in stage one of Jerusalem’s restoration, seven years of years on the 360 calendar transpired from Ezekiel’s vision of the temple unto when Israel became a nation. Likewise, in the next stage of taking the remainder of Jerusalem, seven-years of years again transpired, except this time on the regular Jewish calendar.

And moreover, as said, on the 360 calendar, the day on both of these occasions was “Pentecost” that is, both in 1948 and 1967 –when West Jerusalem, and then East Jerusalem, fell into Israel’s hands!

One final note: On the regular Jewish calendar, the 1967 War began on the anniversary of when Jesus rose up into heaven {Iyar 16}, which was 40 days after His resurrection, Acts 1. However, as said earlier, on the 360 calendar Iyar 16 happened to be the 65th day of the year in 1967, which is Pentecost.

Here are the words that Jesus spoke, just before he ascended up to heaven on Iyar 16 — His last words were to ‘wait until Pentecost when the Spirit would be poured out’. And the last question he was answering at the time was, ‘When will the kingdom be restored to Israel?’

Thus, contained in the last words of Jesus about the restoration of Israel, (and Jerusalem in particular), were hidden two clues as to when it would happen, these two clues were the two anniversary dates of when Israel would begin to be restored in 1948 and 1967.

(Act 1:6-8) “They therefore, when they were come together, asked him, saying, Lord, dost thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel? And he said unto them, It is not for you to know times or seasons, which the Father hath set within His own authority. But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” (For further investigation, calculate the prophecy and timing of Daniel 2.)

Interestingly, seven days after Iyar 18,1967, when Jerusalem was restored, is Pentecost on the regular Jewish calendar.” [http://www.1260-1290-days-bible-prophecy.org] 1

This is an amazing illustration of the synchronicity of the Creator’s timekeeping, documented meticulously @ [360 calendar .com]. This links the modern Blood Moon Tetrads with the history of Israel’s restoration in our times, with Bible Prophecy like few other resources I’m aware of, and I’m thankful for the work that they have done and are doing. This of course, points to the third stage of Israel and Jerusalem’s restoration, which is the Temple itself. As God departed from the Temple and Jerusalem in stages, as prophesied in Ezekiel 10, so He returns in the stages we are witnessing in the modern Blood Moon Tetrads on these dates in 1949-50 and 1967-68. As a side note this also establishes that the Apostles received the gift Holy Spirit in the form of Speaking in Tongues, when they were in the Temple, not in their sleeping quarters in the “upper room.” The Temple was the center of spiritual activity for Israel as a nation, and is thus the only logical place for this prophecy of Christ to be fulfilled, as pictured below. Even more we are watching with great interest what transpires concerning the rebuilding of the Temple of Jerusalem, and the prophesied reinstatement of its Daily Sacrifices for Israel.

Figure 2.

The 12 Apostle’s in the Temple on the Day of Pentecost

As we observe the pattern of Blood Moon Lunar and Solar Eclipses in the 2014-2015 Tetrad, it becomes apparent that all the eclipses linked to this current Tetrad, take place very close to the minimal 2-week gap between eclipses. The April 15th, 2014 Passover Blood Moon occurred 2 weeks prior to the Partial Solar Eclipse on April 29th, 2014. Also the October 8th Blood Moon on the Tabernacle Feast took place 2 weeks before the Partial Solar Eclipse October 23rd, 2014. The Total Solar Eclipse; 3-20-15, Nisan 1, took place 15 days before the Passover Blood Moon on April 4th, 2015. And the Partial Solar Eclipse on September 13, 2015, at Rosh Hashanah takes place 15 days before the Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse of September 28, 2015, at the Tabernacle Feast. These are the closest gaps witnessed between consecutive Solar and Lunar Eclipses. As we review the Solar and Lunar Eclipses on the Biblical Blood Moon Calendar, we can see the 1949-50 and 1967-68 Blood Moon Tetrads each with one of these minimal gaps separating them, leading up to the current Blood Moon Tetrad of 2014-2015.

As we behold the current End times final countdown, the closer we get to zero hour, the tighter the end-time warnings are packed together on the Creator’s Celestial Timepiece. As we quickly approach the final Blood Moon of this Tetrad, we find numerous symmetries related to the pattern of Blood Moon Tetrads preceding it. First, on Sept. 23rd, 2015; [Elul 29] we have the opening of the Hebrew Jubilee Year on the Day of Atonement. This is year 5776 on the Hebrew Calendar [2015-2016], which is also the first year of a new Shemita Cycle, and the only Blood Moon Tetrad in the last 2000 years to coincide with a Shemita Cycle. As this cycle has been tied to the recent stock market crashes in 2001 and 2008 predicted in The Harbinger, and Shemita Books, it is noteworthy that at the writing of this post, the Dow took a 1000+ point drop, the biggest since 2008 in the world economy. The Opening of the 50-year Jubilee on the Day of Atonement, a week prior to the Super-Blood Moon of this final Tetrad also shows a link based on the Fibonacci number series. The solar and lunar cycles themselves follow the dictates of this number sequence! As these two great lights shed their three-fold light upon the Earth, their radiant orbital dance illuminates the Earth according the golden lines of the phi ratio.

With every 19 solar years plus two hours, the Sun and Moon return to meet each other at the same appointed time and place in the sky. The saros, however being an eclipse lunar cycle, consists of 19 eclipse years, which is only 18 solar years plus eleven days. An eclipse year consists of 346.62 solar days, which is equal to 11.738 full moons. When we divide the saros by 11.738, we get 1.618, (or phi), accurate to 4 digits!¹⁴ This shows us a comparison between two lunar cycles (eclipse years & full moons) which harmonize according to the phi ratio. Since the Sun intersects a lunar Node twice every 346.62-day eclipse year, we see how the solar and lunar cycles can also be linked by the phi ratio. Considering the Calendar of Israel, that unifies the luni-solar cycles according to phi, in concert with Israel’s sacred fifty-year cycle of Jubilees, the impact of this pattern in the Natural Order is evident, because there are 618 full Moons in any given 50-year Jubilee cycle! The perfect algorithmic spiral based on the phi ratio, and the recursive Fibonacci number Series illustrates the Creator’s Intelligent Design principles. His design of the Temporal order as seen in how the Hebrew Calendar, exhibits the correlation of the sacred and secular celestial cycles governing a myriad terrestrial and cosmic cycles, the Creator’s evident signature and His dominion of Light is revealed in the heavens, as the Source behind all kingdoms of earthly life. This also depicts the relation between the civil [lunar], and sacred [solar] years in the Calendar of Israel. These standards of the sacred and secular are also unified in the promised seed, Jesus Christ as the Priest-King of Israel and light of the world, presiding over the terrestrial domains and spiritual kingdoms of life.

This prophecy from Jeremiah relates back to the symbolism of figs from Luke 21 above, and the restoration of Israel;

Jer. 24:3-7 ³Then the Lord said to me, “What do you see, Jeremiah?” And I said, “Figs, the good figs, very good; and the bad, very bad, which cannot be eaten, they are so bad.”

⁴Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying, ⁵“Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ‘Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge those who are carried away captive from Judah, whom I have sent out of this place for their own good, into the land of the Chaldeans. ⁶For I will set My eyes on them for good, and I will bring them back to this land; I will build them and not pull them down, and I will plant them and not pluck them up. ⁷Then I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am the Lord; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God, for they shall return to Me with their whole heart.

The Heavenly Father wants the hearts of His people devoted to Him! This is a ready vessel for the gift of holy spirit to indwell, for God to sanctify His people, and save us from uncleanness, as Ezekiel tells us below.

Ezek. 36:23-32

²³I will show the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the Lord, declares the Sovereign Lord, when I am proved holy through you before their eyes. ²⁴“‘For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land. ²⁵I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. ²⁶I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. ²⁷And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. ²⁸Then you will live in the land I gave your ancestors; you will be my people, and I will be your God. ²⁹I will save you from all your uncleanness. I will call for the grain and make it plentiful and will not bring famine upon you. ³⁰I will increase the fruit of the trees and the crops of the field, so that you will no longer suffer disgrace among the nations because of famine.

As the Heavenly Father, the Author of Salvation is working the eternal purpose of His Redemption Plan through His Agent of Salvation, His only begotten Son Jesus Christ, we can see how His plan started with Israel, and opened up to all mankind in the Age of Grace, once Israel rejected Jesus the King of Kings. Now the Church of the Body of Christ awaits its redemption as the time of our Gathering draws very near.
