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.

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-Spicaunions 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 alignmentwith Regulus in Leo, [see Figure 1 below]. This is significant due to the resemblance again of the Rev. 12heavenly 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 thisbirthing of Jupiter in Virgo.
Figure 1. Planetary Alignment in Leo, October 3rd, 2015
As there were 3 Jupiter-Venus Conjunctionsmarking 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. 12heavenly sign: the [Sun clothing Virgo with the Crescent Moon at her feet] onSeptember 17th, 2015is announced by Mercury-Gabriel located just outside the womb area of Virgo, unitedwith 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 wombin 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 1917Jerusalem 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 9-29-2015
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 Tetradssince the Ascension of Christ. The modern Blood Moon Lunar Tetrads have consistently happened on Passoverand Tabernacles – the first and last of the 7 Biblical feasts, and have always been indicative of persecutionand/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 consistentlyreminded Israel of His providential protection, restoringthem 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 TabernaclesFeast, 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 restorationof the Temple of Israel and its daily sacrifices. Preparationalong 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.
Feast of Trumpetsis 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 theseventh 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, wemeet 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 agriculturalharvest 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 trumpetsto 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 septenarypattern 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, 2015with 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 finalSuper-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 Moonon 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 toIsrael 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.

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 SolarEclipse 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 rarefiedair of the North Pole is unique, and the track of this Total Solar Eclipse followed a path across theNorth Pole, placing it in eclipse totality for about 2 minutes. The absolute rarity of a total solareclipseat the North Pole on the Spring Equinox is evident, since it occurs only about once every 100 centuries, but this Solar eclipse was thefirst 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.

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 betweeneclipses. The absolute minimum gap between solar and lunareclipses 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 Tetradpacked 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 yearsapartfulfilled critical Biblical End Time Prophecies related to the restorationof 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;26 men’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.27 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.28 Now 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
29 Then He spoke to them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees.30 When they are already budding, you see and know for yourselves that summer is now near.31 So you also, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near.32 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all things take place.33 Heaven 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 2539days in both 1948 and 1967. Thus, the seventh anniversary after Israel became a nation occurred exactly2539 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 yearson the 360 calendar transpiredfrom 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 calendarIyar 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.
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 symmetriesrelated 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 finalTetrad 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 Nodetwice 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 618full Moons in any given 50-year Jubilee cycle! The perfect algorithmic spiral based on the phi ratio, and the recursiveFibonaccinumber 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 3 Then 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.”
4 Again 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. 6 For 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. 7 Then 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
23 I 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.25 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols.26 I 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.27 And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.28 Then you will live in the land I gave your ancestors; you will be my people, and I will be your God.29 I will save you from all your uncleanness. I will call for the grain and make it plentiful and will not bring famine upon you.30 I 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. The dates below are added key heavenly signs coming over the next month, including the Final Super-Blood Moon.

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 BloodMoon 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.
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, whichis 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 DecodedPeter Lemesurier, ppg. 19-21. {emphasis mine}
Figure B. [2]
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 Pyramidwas 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 15:18-2118 On 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— 19 the Kenites, the Kenezzites, the Kadmonites, 20 the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim, 21 the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”
Genesis 17:4-84 “As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations. 5 No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations. 6 I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you. 7 AndI 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. 8 Also 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. 19:1414 “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 5:9-109 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke; Among the tribes of Israel I make known what is sure. 10 The 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 boundariesnot 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 3immediate 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.
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 altarin the outer-court of the Tabernacle; {Ex. 39:38-39}, and thegolden 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 rectangularfloor in the King’s chamber of the Great Pyramid. The Pyramid’s Descending Passage alignment on Thubanthe 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-stonerepresenting, 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 Altarlinked with Mt. Zioncould 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 Egyptwith 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. [6] Secrets of the Great Pyramid, Peter Thompkins, p. 211.
Figure E.
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, Andhis 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.
Figure F.
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 thetower of Syenein 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.
Migdolmarks 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 Christas 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 monumentalwitness 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 theGreat 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.
