Triad of Purim Blood Moon Eclipses from 2024-2026 with signs of 70-71 AD.

Repeating-Matching Purim Blood Moon Lunar Eclipses of 70-71 AD and 2016-2028.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Announcement of the Messiah’s Reign

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

As King David wrote these inspired wordfrom God, Who was prophetically addressing David’s Lord, [Jesus Christ], to sit at the Heavenly Father’s own right hand [Eph. 2:6-7], so we as the spiritual body of his Church can enjoy the same bird’s eye view of Creation, with his enemies under our feet; [Eph. 1:19-23]. God has sent us the Rod of His strengthembodied in Christ Jesusout of Zion to rule over our enemies!

The Hebrew word for “rod here [H4294mattah], is a scepter of rulership, authorityand judgment. It is also used of a branch or staff linked with the tribal authority of each of the 12 tribes of Israel. #4a The word for “rule” here  is [H7287-radah], meaning to tread down as crushing grapes with one’s feet or in a winepress; [Rev. 19:15], used of exercising dominion, to subdue, prevail subjugateor reign. #4b We can see this authority exercised by Christ in verses 5-6 below where; “He shall execute kings in the day of His wrath. He shall judge among the nations

There is also an interesting Talmudic idiom associated with this word, tied to the idea of taking bread out of an oven. #4c [Jn. 6:31-35, 48-58 G#740, 1Cor. 10:16-17, 11:23-34]. This idiom is one for birth, that survives today as; “she has a bun in the oven,” but more importantly in Communion. We have already seen quotes on this in Rev. 12 with the Birth and Second Coming of Christ to declare the King of Kings, in his everlasting righteous KingdomRev. 12:5 tells us the “woman brought forth a man-child to rule” & shepherd nations with hisrod of iron,” compares closely to this record in Psalm 110.

Your people shall be volunteers In the day of Your powerIn the beauties of holiness, from the womb of the morning, You have the dew of Your youth4
 The Lord has sworn And will not relentYou are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.” [Heb. 7:10-28]

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

Figure 2. Christ the High Priest

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

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

Star out of Jacob and a sceptre shall rise out of Israel“- Star = [H3556kowkab], #4d Figuratively an illustrious Prince who is the star rising out of Jacobholding the scepter as ruler over Israel. We note the figure of speech utilized in this verse regarding the authority of the sceptre held by the Prince. This star” linked with the sceptre rising out of Israel, is a celestial reference to the sign of Leo the Lion with specific references first for it’s brightest luminary–Regulus the king star, and brightest star on the ecliptic also known as the “heart of the Lion.” The King’s sceptre is the symbol of his power over the heathens and those who oppose his purposes, as he will rule over them with unbending authority or a “rod of iron,” [Ps. 2, Rev. 19:15].

Regulus was known by the ancients as the fixed king star that is linked with this scepter. This fulfills Jacob’s prophecy, that one holding this scepter would arise from Judah according to Gen. 49. Secondly, the regal authority of this star is established in the king planetJupiter, whose dominion as we have just seen, was symbolized by Leo the Lion, of the tribe of Judah providing the regal stock from which the kingly line of Israel arose, first in King David, and ultimately in Jesus Christ from the “root of David” [Rev. 5:5]. The triple planetary Conjunction of the mobile king planet-Jupiter, with the fixed king star-Regulus in Leo from 3-2 BC, thus aligns with the prophecy of Genesis 498-10, showing the maturation of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. Balaam’s revelation here in Numbers 24:17 gives a Scriptural basis for a link between the star of Jacob” [Regulus] and “Jupiter’sSceptre,” to the advent of Christ the King, who rose out of Jacob’s genealogical line. Thus we can see maturation of the Lion from cub to the full prowess of the reigning King in the dual elements of Rev. 12, as they apply both his birth and sufferings, to the full glory and authority of his Kingship, as he establishes his kingdom on earth.

The details of the correlation between the triple Conjunction of Jupiter and Regulus in 3-2 BC, and the record in Gen. 49, are expounded in greater detail in the following video on “The Biblical Astronomy of the Birth of Christ,” seen below.

The Triple Conjunction of Jupiter-Regulus and Genesis 49.

As we just saw in the video above, the prophecies of Balaam in Numbers 23-24 correspond to Jacob’s prophecies in Genesis 49, because they not only both deal with the destiny of Jacob/Israel in general, but they prophesy of the Promised Seed- Jesus Christ specifically, in Rev. 12:1-5. The Prophesied man-child of Rev. 12:5 who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron, is the embodiment of the sceptre of holy power, that God caught up” [G726harpazo] to his throne at God’s Right Hand. #4

An evident and recurring dual theme in Rev. 12 is not only the birth of the King of Kings, but also the birth of his Kingdom of everlasting righteousness. [Rev. 12:10]. Thus we find clear references to this Kingdom, in the authority of he who rules with a rod of ironsymbolized in the king’s scepter-Jupiter. In a previous post [The Blood Moon Tetrad and the Rev. 12 Heavenly Signs [Part 2.] a birth of Jupiter from Virgo’s wombleads to a Rev. 12 sign –Sept23rd, 2017, leaving Virgo after 42 [6×7] weeks in retrograde, a normal human gestation period, that combines the gestation period of Christ the human woman’s seed created by God spiritually in her with sinless blood. This is based upon Jesushuman [6] geneology in Luke as Son of Man, with his spiritual geneology in Matthew as the Son of God, comparing and contrasting his human [6] and spiritual [7] ministry elements to mankind

This fits with the connotations of the Hebrew word for “rule” noted above in Psalm 110:2, linked to the Talmud’s birth idiom, for the coming King. As this emphasis was evident in the skies of 3-2 BC, at Christ’s birth, as we saw a triple Conjunction of JupiterVenus taking place in 2015, all in Leo. The key element confirming the JupiterVenus unions was their alignment with Regulus on the ecliptic in Leo, carried not only the original import of Regulus‘ triple crowning, with the king planet Jupiter, but Regulus as seen with Venus the Bright Morning Star hold critical weight [Rev. 2:27-28] also! The planetary union symbols show the King planet Jupiter-uniting in Venusthe Bright and Morning Staraligned with Regulus in Leo-the Lion of Judah[Rev. 5:5], over a four month period.

These planetary unions were followed by JupiterVenus unions in Virgo in 2016-17, depicts a Celestial Sphinx sign, another link to the Giza Plateau. This Triple Conjunction of JupiterVenus, the two brightest stars in the skies after the Sun and Moon, is key in light of the addition of Mercury, leading to their planetary alignment with Regulus in Leo, forming Virgo’s Crown, in a repeat of the Rev. 12:1-2; “Great Wonder in Heaven on Sept. 23rd, 2017. 

The following list dates not only the JupiterVenus unions in Leo during the transition from the Hebrew Sabbatical year to the Jubilee year of 2015-16, but other key planetary unions and heavenly signs as VenusRegulus unions in the woman Virgo and Leo the Lion in this period:

We find the sky was thick with heavenly signs leading to and including the Final Super Blood Moon of the 2014-2015 Blood Moon Tetrad. The 1st three notable signs on this list show a VenusRegulus union bracketed by 2 JupiterVenus unions in the first 3 signs in July of 2015! This is a conspicuous opener as we consider the importance of VenusRegulus unions aligned in the Christ Angle built into the Great Pyramid’s Ascending Passage. [see Plate 3 below]

As there were 3 JupiterVenus Conjunctions marking the birth of Christ in 3-2 BC, so this triple union of JupiterVenus aligned with Regulus in Leo, mirrors a similar spiritual light in 2015. In fact, the Rev. 12 heavenly sign: the [Sun clothes Virgo with the Crescent Moon at her feet] on September 17th, 2015 is declared by Mercury-Gabriel located just outside the womb area of Virgo above Spica/ Al Zimach, 2 years before the repeat of the Great Wonder in Heaven, on Sept. 23rd, 2017! But there were more heavenly signs involving JupiterVenus after this, leading up to the birthing of Jupiter in retrograde motion in Virgo. These include added brackets of a VenusMars union between August 29th, 2015 and Nov2-3rd, 2015, that encapsules two MercurySpica unions in the 2nd half of signs in 2015.

As we compare Jupiter’s retrograde in 2017, with Jupiter’s motion at the birth of Christ, we find some key correlations. First, it was the planet Jupiter that led the Magi to Jerusalem in search of the Promised seed. In [Matt. 2:2,9] the Magi saw Jupiter [his star in the eastG395-Anatole] meaning in the rising.”The King Planet Jupiterannual orbits including its retrograde motionbegan via Dr. Earnest Martin, on December 25 in 2 BC. As Martin states:

Jupiter arrived at its ordinary time for retrogression and it became stationary among the stars. But this time something unusual happened. In 2 BC as seen from Jerusalem, Jupiter came to its normal stationary position over Bethlehem on December 25thnot only that, the planet assumed its stationary position while in the middle of the Constellation of Virgo, the Virgin.” 6 Thus, according to Dr. Martin, the same astronomical motion forming Jupiter’s Conjunctions with Regulusits annual retrogression, or retrograde motion  triggered Jupiter to stand still in the heavens for 6 days near the crossing point of the ecliptic and the Meridian mid-body in Virgo. This took place during celebration of the Feast of Dedication-Hannukah in December of 2 BC.

Also recall the relationship between the cycles of the Sun and Jupiter, and that it was the Sun, mid-bodied in Virgo for the 20-day period, in 3 BC from August 27 to September 15th, that marked the birth of Christ, as prophesied in Rev. 12:1-2Martin goes on to say that:

on December 25th, 2 BC at the ordinary time for the pre-dawn observations, of the MagiJupiter appeared in Meridian position (directly over Bethlehem) at an elevation of 68 degrees above the southern horizon. This precise position would show the planet shining directly down on Bethlehem while it was stationary among the stars.” 7#

Martin’s assertion that Jupiter began its retrograde motion on December 25th, 2 BC, agrees with research by V.P. Wierwille regarding the beginning of the Feast of Dedication, that year from 12th-22nd to 29th. Wierwille, also points out that;

 “As the Magi left Jerusalemthey saw Jupiter on its nightly course. Looking south they saw it high in the skynearing its apex on the Meridian of Jerusalem and Bethlehem.” #8

 As, the king planetJupiter was mid-body in Virgo, even as the Sun was during the birth of Christ, mirroring the light of the world, clearly marking the birth-place of the King of the Jews for the Magi. These key celestial indicators for the Magiwho would have seen the spiritual import of his star” Jupiterin Virgo’s mid-section during December in 2 BCdirectly over Bethlehem, revealed the birthplace of the King of Kingswho inherited David’s throne.

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

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

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

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

The first of those events is a ring of fireeclipse where the Moon passes in between Earth and Sun, without entirely eclipsing the Sun, allowing a halo of its fiery glow to still be seen. The “ring of fire,” a.k.a. an Annular Solar Eclipse, will mainly be visible in southern South America, Africa, and the Atlantic. A 3rd major celestial event of this year, a Total Solar Eclipse, then passes over the Arctic Ocean, Greenland, Iceland, the Atlantic Ocean, Portugal, and northern Spain.

The Feb. 17, 2026 ring of fire and the Aug. 12 Total Solar Eclipse also kick off a new series of eclipses in each category. Space.com is calling this unique set of eventsa Golden Age of Solar Eclipses.” From 2026 to 2028Earth encounters a double eclipse cascade3 Total Solar Eclipses (August 2026, August 2027July 2028) with 3 Annular Solar Eclipses (February 2026, February 2027 & Jan. 2028) — a repetition of a pattern last seen from 2008 to 2010. #9

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

A Golden Age of Solar Eclipses’: 3 Total Eclipses & 3 ‘Rings of Fire’ in 3 Years! Starting Feb. 17, we find a cycle of 3 Ring of fire Eclipses within just 3 years, as well as a series of three Total Solar Eclipses within the same three years! This symmetrically links God’s Judgement on Israel tied to Hebrew Mysteries  reflected in a repeating pattern of 3 Eclipses with 27 [9×3] Historical Seiges of Jerusalem below, consummated in the Blood Moon Tetrads of 1948-49 with the reforming of the State of Israel and 1967-68 reclaiming of Jerusalem by Israel.

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

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

4 Eclipses in 2026

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

Comparing these heavenly signs near the birth of Christwith the signs of the modern Blood Moon Tetrad leading to 2017, as Jupiter’s annual retro motion entered Virgo in Aug. 26-27th 2016, for a total of 294 days, into 2017, it remained 40 days in Virgo’s mid-section, to foreshadow the birthing of the Messiah’s KingdomJupiter marked its entrance into Virgo with a 2nd JupiterVenus union in 2016. This gets our attention to indicate a key event in the King PlanetJupiter linked to his virgin Bride–with Virgo’s Crowning of Leo’s 9 stars plus 3 added planets of Mercury, Venus and Mars aligned to the Regulus King star in Leo, totaling 12 stars in Virgo’s Crown. This not only alerted us to watch for the Sun Clothing Virgo leading directly to these signs of 9-23-2017, but it also shows the Great Pyramid’s Christ Angle alignment of VenusRegulus in Leo, in this key sign of the Giza Plateau reflecting the Celestial Sphinx, near Sept. 20, 2017. [Rev. 1:8, 11-17, 20- Jesus as Alpha & Omega], [Rev. 213-7, 22:12-13, 16].

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

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

Jon Nessle taught us the record in his recent 8/15/23 Session 1b of Chapter 5 in the OT History class, as Persian King Darius Ireached his golden scepter to his beautiful Queen Esther, [Est. 5:1-3] upon entering royal courts uninvited, to save his Jewish populace, from Haman’s plan of Jewish genocide in Persia. #14 With a futuristic viewCassiopeia can also embody the saved bride of Christ, he delivered. Even as King Darius I saved all Israel with his extended scepter, so Christ saved all Israel and his Church, who embody 2 versions of Christ’s Bride, with the “Woman” of Rev. 12:1-24-613-17Christ-Cepheus is enthroned over the Northern Pole Starsets his foot “Al Ruccaba” depicted in a timelapse photo below, shows how all the stars revolve around the King of Kings. [I Cor15:24-28].


Stars orbit polaris

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

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

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

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

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

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

The 69-71 AD Blood Moon Tetrad marking the Roman’s destroying the Temple 400 years after the Repeating Matching Eclipses of Esther & Mordecai from 469-480 BC, is reflected also in the Solar & Lunar eclipses of 2015-16, that led to a 2017 rewind of the Great Wonder of Rev. 12:1-2. Amazingly, another report of this Rev. 12 Celestial Wonder took place on August 27th, in 70 AD, [Plate 1.] below, between 4/14/70 Passover Lunar Eclipse, and 9/23/70 AD Rosh Hashanah Solar Eclipse reflected in the 2033 Comparison Chart above! The idea that a Rev. 12 sign appears in the 69-71 AD Eclipse Tetrad with a 3/4/71 Purim Partial Lunar Eclipse sets an early precedent linking the Rev. 12 sign with a JupiterVenus Union, in context of Purim Blood Moon Lunar eclipses.

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

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

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

As remarkable as the comparison of Solar and Lunar eclipse signs between 70 AD and 2016 is, it’s more striking when viewed with Purim Lunar EclipsesAs seen above-in the Eclipse Comparison Chart; the Purim Blood Moon in 71 AD was the last Purim Lunar Eclipse we see till 1959, until the Total Purim Lunar Eclipse in 2016. We can see intriguing parallels here as these Solar & Lunar eclipses marked a destruction of  Jerusalem’s Temple in 70 AD, as today we await a 3rd Temple in Jerusalemas a next logical step to fulfil Bible Prophecy, with Israel’s reclamation of Jerusalem, in the 1967-68′ Blood Moon Tetrad, in it’s 6-day War with EgyptThe key aspects of LuniSolar Eclipses, not only in 2016-17 but also again in 2024-2026 in alignment with the only set of 3 Purim Blood Moon Eclipses in a row on Hebrew Feasts that do not cluster as Blood Moon Tetrads over the last 2000 years!

Are there other links between Esther-the Triad of Purim Eclipses and the Rev. 12 SignAs we view elements of the 2nd Book of Esther we find strong viable links to the record of Rev. 12.

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

15 Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the kingshe required nothing but what Hegai the king’s chamberlain, the keeper of women, appointed. And Esther obtained favour [2580–chenfavor, grace, charm, 69x in OT, 47x– “find favor in the eyes of” often in relations of inferior-superior, in Prov. aesthetic charm or beauty from 2603; chanan-gracious inclination, favorable, kind, mercy, lovely, espec. to needy. 2604 Aram. equiv. Dan. 4:24, 6:12, implore favor.] #21 in sight of all looking upon her16 So Esther was taken to king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in 7th year of his reign17 And the king loved Esther above all women, and she obtained grace [2580–chen]; and favor [2617-checed; the attitude of God’s Love, 1 Jn. 4:8, 16] that contains mercy in His Eternal Covenant relations with Israel, [Ps. 136]. The lovingkindness & benevolent beauty of God. From [2616chacadkind & merciful3x in OT, here, 2 Sam. 22:18-26, 40, Ps. 18:26.]#22

This set Esther far above the other concubines of King Ahasuerus!] in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her Queen instead of Vashti18 Then the king made a great feast unto all his princes and his servantseven Esther’s feast; and he made a release to the provinces, and gave giftsaccording to the state of the king.

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

 An evident and recurring dual theme in Rev12 is not only the birth of the King of Kings, but also the birth of his kingdom of everlasting righteousnessThus we find clear reference to this kingdom, in the authority of he who rules with a rod of ironsymbolized in the king’s scepterJupiter. In a previous post [The Blood Moon Tetrad and the Rev. 12 Heavenly Signs [Part II.] we noted how the birth of Jupiter from Virgo’s womb, links to Christ’s kingdom at God’s Right Hand in Rev. 12:5. Once Christ was born and completed his earthly ministry he was caught up in his Ascension to God and his throne in the period leading to the Rev. 12 sign on Sept. 23rd, 2017. This date saw Great Pyramid signs of the Christ angle alignments with a VenusRegulus union   in Leo. This fits the context and connotations of the Hebrew word for “rule” [7287-radah; subdue, reign, prevail, dominion, Joel 4:13, Gen. 1:28, Num. 24:19,      1 Kg. 5:4] noted in Psalm 110:1-6.#23 As this emphasis was evident in the sky in 3-2 BC, at the birth of Christ, we also find the triple union of JupiterVenus in 2015, in Leotwo years ahead of the 2017 signs, as a Celestial Prelude to the Return of Christ, and a Celestial Encore, seen in the signs of 5 BC leading to 3 BCA key element of these JupiterVenus unions was their alignment with Regulus on the ecliptic in Leo, carried not only the original import of Regulustriple coronation, by Jupiter the king planet, but the bright and Morning StarVenus‘ adding its beauty to this sign, [Rev. 2:27-28].

October 28th, 2015 [JupiterVenusMars unite in a 1 degree triangular massing]

These planetary unions were followed with added JupiterVenus unions that took place in Virgo in 2016-17. This Triple Conjunction of JupiterVenusthe 2 brightest stars in the heavens after the Sun and Moon, was notable especially with the addition of Mercury, [Rev. 5:5]. The dates above show JupiterVenus unions in Leo during the Hebrew Sabbatical/Jubilee year of 2015:

Super Blood Moon over Jerusalem

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

Viewing the ministry of Christ embodied in 7 feasts of Israel as, we combine the narrative of Jesus‘ birth signs from [Rev. 12], that also relate the story of his victorious Second Coming seen in the dual significance of [Rev. 12], we find emphasis placed on this theme by the Hand of the Almighty, we can’t neglect. As we’re in 1948’s generation of a reformed nation of Israel (fig tree) to witness the time of the Lord’s return we must heed Christ’s warning (Luke 21: 32). As Jesus said; “This generation shall not pass away until all these things take place.” (Matt. 24:32-34). The miracle signs God has shown to help Israel to victory vs. Arab-Muslim enemies in 1967, with far less troops and equipment, recall Old Testament battles of God delivering His people.

The key celestial signs with our solar system planets of Christ’s Birth in 3-2 BC were JupiterVenus unions, that forecast 3 JupiterVenus Conjunctions in 2015, with added Heavenly signs of JupiterVenus at his birth. On Aug. 27-28th of 3 BC, a Planetary massing of JupiterVenus & Mars held alignment of
3 planets, with king star Regulus in Leoforming a 12 star Crown overhead of Virgo. This 2015 Rev12 sign planetary alignment in Leowith Sun clothing Virgo and Moon at her feet] was repeated on Sept. 23rd, of 2017!

The Great Pyramid’s witness in Biblical Archaeo-Astronomy embodies [2 Peter 1:19-21], in Venus Morning  Star alignment with Regulus at dawn on Rosh Hashanah, 9232017via the Christ angle measures in the Pyramid’s Ascending and Descending passages. If these heavenly signs point to a key future sunrise Dawning of The Lord’s Day to Return FOR his Saints, fore-shadowed in the Sept2017 signs, we will hold our Hope & faith in Christopening to Everlasting Righteousness in the Lord Jesus Christ.

With an interval of 1260 days, between the 9-28-15 Passover Blood Moon, and the Rev. 12 sign falling 9/20 to 9/23/2017, at Feast of Trumpets; on 9/21, could it foreshadow this period in the near future? Between the Great Pyramid sign of a Christ Angle alignment in Leoand a Rev. 12 sign and Wonderthe Pyramid depicts other alignments in Orion’s 3 Belt-stars, with the 3 Giza Pyramids in and the last remaining Wonder of the Ancient world, seen in Plate 3 below. 

Plate 3The Great Pyramid’s Ascending Passage alignment with the VenusRegulus union in Leo, 9-20-2017 on Rosh Hashanahas the Coming Prince in Orionis found at the Meridian alignment of Al-Nitak at dawn. #24 

As the Great Pyramid Sunset alignments opened to New Years Day on Rosh Hashanah in Sept. 2017, added Sunrise alignments with the Great Pyramid’s Ascending Passage union of VenusRegulus in Leo occurred. This key 9/20/17 lineup & union was built-into the Ascending Passage Christ angle when the Great Khufu Pyramid was constructed, not to be revealed for thousands of years, on Rosh  Hashanah, with added alignments of the first Star in Orion’s Belt; Al-Nitakvia the Great Pyramid’s missing Apex, forecasting Christ’s everlasting victorious Return, part of the Great Mystery of the Gathering Together, [vertical Green line].

We can envision the Great Pyramid’s multiple horizon alignments with the rising and setting Sun on this pivotal day in history, with narratives of truth they each carry. As the Apex alignment of the Great Pyramid intersects the Belt star Al-Nitak, the next 2 Giza Pyramid’s also link to belt stars in Kaphre/ Al-Nilam, & Menkaure/ Mintaka, in Plate 3, with the next two stars of Orion’s BeltNot only is Venus aligned with Regulusbut Mars & Mercury were also aligned with Venus and Regulus in Leo, along with the trio of Giza Pyramids. The key aspect of the Rev. 12 sign of 3 planets in Virgo’s Crown was the Sept. 23rd, 2017 alignment with Orion’s three Belt Starsa prophecy of Orion-the Coming Prince’s Return. As the Celestial Prelude prophesied of Christ’s birth in his first Advent, so these key Great Pyramid Celestial Signs prophesy of our Lord’s Second Coming also.

In Plate 3, the Great Pyramid’s Apex/Chief-cornerstoneis aligned in Orion the Coming Prince,” specified in “the wounded one,” Orion’s key Belt star: Al-Nitak, [Gen. 3:15]. The Great Pyramid alignment on Orion’s Al Nitak, oversaw the birth of Christ, at Bethlehem @51.51°New Year’sRosh Hashanah, on his birthday – 9/11/3 BC, so we find the Great Pyramid’s Apex/Chief Corner-stone aligned to the star Al Nitak at zenith/meridian, also on Rosh Hashanah again in 2017linking these two key dates together for all time. [Isa. 28:16, Eph. 2:19-22]

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

Venus is well known for its 8-year cycle, whereby it returns to virtually the same spot in the starry heavens every 8 years. This is because Venus circles the Sun 13 times for each time Earth circles the Sun 8 times. This 8-year cycle means that Venus will again meet with Regulus for super-close unions in two years in early October 2028, 2036 and 2044. Will there be a repeat of a Great Pyramid alignment with VenusRegulus at that time? We need to wait & see- but, we can predict a VenusRegulus union with certainty in 2028 just as we saw in the last VenusRegulus union on Oct2-3, 2020. #25

On the mornings of October 2 and 3, 2020, Venus (brighter) and the bright star Regulus appeared near one another in the east before sunup. Below is a the view from North America, as Venus is near .5 a degree above Regulus on Oct. 2 and near 0.5 degrees under Regulus on Oct. 3rd. Their union came on Oct. 3rd00:00 UTC, when Venus passed only 0.1 degree south of Regulus.

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

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

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

The detailed prophecies contained in God’s Word are part of what makes the Bible unique among religious texts. Our God can “make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come” (Isaiah 46:10), and He has revealed significant events in the future, counting out the very days of those time periods. The events of the Purim Blood Moon Triad of 2024-2026 tied to today’s War in Iran vs. Israel and the US, reflects how Iran’s modern terror state is being punished as ancient Haman-the seed of Amalek was by Israel. This is very obvious in Repeating-Matching Blood Moon Lunar & Solar Eclipse Tetrads that we have shown in this and numerous recent studies published on this blog. We’ve seen how a decade of Matching-Repeating Eclipses from 480-469BC match Eclipses in 2024-2034 AD, reflect God’s Judgment on Haman /Amalek compared to present day Modern Iran

 This not only reflects The Righteousness of our Just Heavenly Father and His Returning Son Jesus Christ, but also the End-times prophecies being fulfilled before our eyes.  

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)

Let us remain vigilant with our heads to the sky, as the days grow shorter

God Bless!

Creator’s Deliberate Design in the Pi and Phi Ratios.

 

Creator’s Deliberate Design in the Pi and Phi Ratios.

We have shared a good portion of material on on the geometric keys of the Phi ratio in God’s Word, in the last 22 years, both on this blog and the [try-god.com] website. We have made a strong case on the science of the sacred geometry of both the Pi and Phi ratios during this time, that shows the evidence of how our Almighty Creator employed these geometric principles in His Creation of the Universe, and the Four kingdoms of Life. But we are presenting key evidence today, that we have not previously shown, regarding the importance of the Phi Ratio in this study, which makes our case even stronger. First, lets review the context of the application of the Phi and Pi ratios in the Hebrew Tabernacle and Temple, as the Ark of the Covenant was first transferred to Israel’s Temple, from the Tabernacle. We also are taking a special interest in how the Heavenly Father has emphasized the role of His only Begotten Son as the Chief CornerStone and the head of the spiritual body of his Church.

II Chron 5:1-14
 Thus all the work that Solomon made for the house of the LORD was finished: and Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had dedicated; and the silver, and the gold, and all the instruments, put he among the treasures of the house of God. 2Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.  3Wherefore all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king in the feast which was in the seventh month4And all the elders of Israel came; and the Levites took up the ark5And they brought up the ark, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, these did the priests and the Levites bring up. 6Also king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel that were assembled unto him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude.

7And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his place, to the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, even under the wings of the Cherubims8For the Cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the Cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above. 9And they drew out the staves of the ark, that the ends of the staves were seen from the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen without. And there it is unto this day. 10There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put therein at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt. 11And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place: (for all the priests that were present were sanctified, and did not then wait by course: 12 Also the Levites which were the singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, being arrayed in white linen, having cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them an hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets:) 13It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music and praised the LORD saying, For He is good; for His mercy endures forever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD; 14 So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God.

We have shown in past research that the ground-plans for the Tabernacle and the Temple were closely related to the same sacred geometric principles of the Pi and Phi RatiosThe terrestrial blueprint mirrors Venn Diagram at the astronomical North pole, [Fig. B.]. These two altars depict the bipolar structure of the heavens, seen both in the galactic poles of two great celestial circles of the ecliptic and the Equator in northern skies, as a reflection of the Earth’s Magnetic and Geographic bipolar system. The interplay between these galactic poles exhibits precession of the poles, as the pole star had receded from the archaic poleThuban of Draco, to the star Polaris of Ursa Minor. Within the common space shared between the poles of the two circles moving in opposite directions, lies the Venn Diagram or the astronomical vesica of the North Pole. The quote below from Nigel Pennick shows us how original principles of “sacred geometry” are preserved in the dimensions and measures of the Tabernacle & Temple in the elements of their walls, furniture, columns, clothing, altars, architecture & orientation. This divine celestial plan modeled in the Hebrew Temple and Tabernacle, is the basis of the “sacred geometry” adopted by Freemasons and others before them, who tainted these concepts in the defiled context of their mysticism and astrology, cut from their authentic roots in the Astronomy of the Biblical Patriarchs. This study endeavors to return this Astronomy to its genuine roots, dispensing with corrupt astrological influences and pagan mythology of various ancient cultures and occult secret societies.

Figure A illustrates the double square rectangle, geometry based on the phi ratio, providing key aspects of both the “pattern of the Temple and Tabernacle” of Israel. [Heb. 8:5, Exod. 25:9, 40]

Figure AThe Plans of the Hebrew Temple and Tabernacle. #1

King Solomon obeyed the will of God by having the Ark of the Covenant brought into the Temple to dedicate it, during the Feast of Tabernacles, in the most sacred seventh month of Tishri. During this time: the trumpeters and 120 priests and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD…Like the fallen angels in the choral units of their first estate [Job 38:7], the priests as trumpeters and singers were in one accord, in making one sound in worship and praise to God the Creator. This O.T. account foreshadows a time in the future, when the body of Christ fully supersedes Lucifer and his fallen angels in their original ministry of worshipful songs in praise to Almighty God. This record of the transfer of the Ark of the Covenant from the Tabernacle to the Temple is important because the Ark represented the presence of God among His people. The God-given architectural blueprints for both the Tabernacle and Temple were designed to embody the framework of the celestial structure of Creation in miniature, on the terrestrial level, as a reflection of heaven on the earth.

This view is supported in the following quote from Nigel Pinnock, who details some key elements in the pattern given by God to David: “The Tabernacle stood inside a court whose geometry was a double square [1 x 2 rectangle], 100 cubits long by 50 cubits wide. Inside the double square enclosure was a triple square 30 cubits long and 10 cubits wide. Its walls were built of wood planks 1.5 cubits wide and 10 cubits high, held in line by strong horizontal bars of wood. The whole structure was covered with skins sewn together in strips 30 cubits long by 4 cubits wide. The Tabernacle was placed in the court towards the west, with its entrance oriented east-wards, so that according to Josephus: “when the Sun arose it might send its first rays upon it.” The Tabernacle’s interior was divided into two compartments, a scheme which was copied later in the Temple…..The outer compartment called the Holy Place, was a double square 20 by 10 cubits, whilst the inner compartment, the Holy of Holies, comprised a single square. As the height of the Tabernacle’s ceiling was also 10 cubits, the Holy of Holies enclosure was a perfect cube that held the Ark of the Covenant. The Altar of Sacrifice was the outer equivalent of the Ark of the Covenant. It stood at the center of the outer of the two squares of the enclosure. The altar represented one of the two poles at the center of two squareseach upon its own center of polarity...” 2 “The Temple measures, like the Tabernacle before it, were precisely detailed: [I Chronicles 28, II Chronicles 3]. A triple square double the size of the Tabernacle, and the walls of the Temple were hewn stone lined inside with wood overlaid with gold. The interior comprised a double square rectangular holy place, and a single square Holy of Holies. The interior was 20 cubits high, making the Holy of Holies again, a cubic enclosure. At the very center of the Holy of Holies stood the Ark of the Covenant, which formerly had occupied the central point of the Holy of Holies of the Tabernacle… The entrance to the Temple was 5 cubits in width, and opened from a porch which comprised two squares of 10 x 10 cubits. It was this porch which supported the two pillarsJachin & Boaz.” The Tabernacle/Temple ground plans of Israel show a heavenly image of eastward access to God’s presence, via the High Priest’s annual ministry inside the holiest of all. As Pinnock says, the brazen altar of burnt offering: “represented one of two poles at the center of two squareseach on its own center of polarity.”3# This bipolar system of two poles-the ecliptic and Equator reflected iearthly counterparts of the altars, in both the holy of holies and the holy place.

The geometric basis of the foundation underlying the structure of the Hebrew Tabernacle and Temple is called a Vesica Piscis. The sacred geometry of the Vesica Piscis is rich in symbolism as we will see in the graphics below. In Plate 1, we have 4 illustrations that show varying symbolic key references that we will explore to extract their wisdom.

The Geometric Nature of the Vesica Piscis

“The straight lines and angles of geometry symbolize the limitations of our physical world, while the curves and circles symbolize infinite possibilities of the spiritual realm.” — Hasidic teaching.

In geometry, the Vesica Piscis is not just a visually appealing shape, but a lens-shaped figure that embodies mathematical precision. It includes key proportions and ratios, like the square root of 3 and the ratio of the width to its height, that is the square root of 3 divided by 2. These precise ratios give the Vesica Piscis a sense of harmony and balance, based in the study of sacred geometry. As our gaze explores the deeper meanings of the Hasidic quote above, when applied to the vesica piscis, below we find the symbolism of the product of two infinite realms. This is a metaphor of the universe, known in Hebrew as “Olam”, whose etymology is from “hidden”, the implication being that the universe is the place where God is “hidden. That is to say, the infinite God is hidden in the finite universe, the two intersecting circles representing this idea. #4


The mathematical roots and ratios found in the Vesica Piscis
.
The mathematical roots √2, √3 and √5 are found in the Vesica as seen above. These square roots continue infinitely beyond the decimal point, without a repeating pattern. These numbers are found not only in sacred structures like the Hebrew Temple, and other ancient cultures, but also throughout nature.

 The Energy Field of Vesica Piscis

In Illust. 1 above; the quotient of any Fibonacci number and its predecessor approaches Phi (34/21 = 1.618) equal to the golden ratio, 1:1.618. A rectangle unevenly divided will result in one square and one rectangle, with sides @ 1:1, with a new rectangle in exact proportions to the 1st rectangle 1:1.618. The Phi rectangle in Illust. 1 – Golden Rectangle, matches the 2 rectangles in Illust2 above, show both the “measure of the fish,” from Archimedes and Pythagoras, as Christ is reflected in the sacred geometry of the North Astronomical Vesica, below in Fig. B. First, we see Christ in an Illust2; Measure of the Fish, amidst the Golden Rectangles, as the circles overlap in the North Pole Vesica, in Plate 2 and Figure B below, with Christ as Cepheus-the enthroned King, at the right hand of the Almighty, in the north skies.

Plate 2. The North Polar Vesica
draco

Between his feet is our current Pole Star-Polaris, of Ursa Minor, which has overtaken the archaic pole star of Thuban, in Draco’s tail, at the apex of a right Equilateral triangle holding Ursa Minor from 5,000 years ago. At first look, an analysis of this image shows two interlocked Vesica Circles containing 3 decans of Draco the dragon, Cepheus the Crowned king, and the little bear of Ursa Minor between them. Inside this Vesica at the North pole we find the same geometric image in Illustration 4, divided by a red center line forming the common base of two equilateral triangles, one on the right containing most of Ursa Minor, while the other on the left holds a large part of Cepheus the crowned king. This is critical because it depicts the transition of the North Pole star from Thuban of Draco, to Polaris at the tail end of Ursa Minor, the little bear, located between the feet of King Cepheus. This relates a dialogue and celestial chronicle of the fall of the Dragon and the rise of King Jesus, the Morning Star. Since the dragon was expelled from his rulership over angelic cohorts, he was supplanted by Jesus Christ, whose rule over Creation with a rod of iron is everlasting. The 2 upper lines of the right Equilateral triangle tell a story as their bases form the bipolar structure of the North pole, with the stationary pole of the ecliptic, around which the equatorial pole moves, accounts for the precession of the pole star from Thuban to Polaris. With Christ’s perfect Sacrifice, Resurrection and Ascension he took dominion from the dragon as seen in the pole star underfoot of King Cepheus.

As the Cornerstone prophecy in Luke 20:17b-18 tells us; “The [very] Stone which the builders rejected has become the chief Stone of the corner18 Everyone who falls on that Stone will be broken  [in pieces]; but upon whomever It falls, It will crush him [to be winnowed by him and [k]scatter him as dust].” [Ps.118:22 [rosh-H7218; head, Job 22:12, Zech. 4:7] Here we see Jesus Chief Cornerstone at the peak of the Heavens, as the Astronomical Northern Pole Star and apex of the Great Pyramid the King ruling from his exclusive roost not only over all those who opposed and rejected him, but also as Head [highest & supreme] of his spiritual body-God’s unified People! [Eph. 5:23]

The 3rd Illustration from Plate 1, above called the “Cosmic Egg,’ can embody the idea of a “union of opposites,” in varied contexts. As the Vesica Piscis itself is a union of Heaven and Earth, we can also see how the Ecliptic and the Equator overlay one another, both in the plans of the Hebrew Temple and Tabernacle, and also on celestial maps. But, from a spiritual view, we see Christ unifying his spiritual body of the Church, that includes both Jews and Gentiles, who shared very little in common in the OT, as we find in Ephesians 2:11-16; [Ampl. Bible]

Ephesians 2:11-16, 20-22
11 Therefore, remember that at one time you were Gentiles (heathens) in the flesh, called Uncircumcision by those who called themselves Circumcision, [itself a [e]mere mark] in the flesh made by human hands. 12 [Remember] that you were at that time separated (living apart) from Christ [excluded from all part in Him], utterly estranged and outlawed from the rights of Israel as a nation, and strangers with no share in the sacred compacts of the [Messianic] promise [with no knowledge of or right in God’s agreements, His covenants]. And you had no hope (no promise); you were in the world without God13 But now in Christ Jesus, you who once were [so] far away, through (by, in) the blood of Christ have been brought near14 For he is [himself] our peace (our bond of unity and harmony). He has made us both [Jew and Gentile] one [body], and has broken down (destroyed, abolished) the hostile dividing wall between us15 By abolishing in His [own crucified] flesh the enmity [caused by] the Law with its decrees and ordinances [which He annulled]; that he from the two might create in himself one new man [one new quality of humanity out of the two], so making peace16 And [He designed] to reconcile to God both [Jew and Gentile, united] in a single body by means of his cross, thereby killed the mutual enmity and bringing the feud to an end.

The amazing spiritual unity that is now shared in the body of Christ between Jews and Gentiles is only due to the singular love of Christ, who sacrificed himself the on the cross, for our salvation. Finally, in the 4th Illustration of the Golden Rectangle of Plate 1 above, we see not only Equilateral Triangles of the North pole, that can embody the triangular sides of the Great Pyramid, but also 2 triangles in the center Vesica at the Pyramid’s apex of the Chief Cornerstone. This Plate 1 graphic shows a line that could separate two of the triangular sides of the Great Pyramid, [Eph. 2:11-12] now bound together in Christ’s unity of love, [Eph. 2:13-16].

Ephesians 2:20-22 20 You are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets with Christ Jesus Himself the chief Cornerstone21 In him the whole structure is joined (bound, welded) together harmoniously, and it continues to rise (increase, grow) into a holy temple in the Lord [a sanctuary dedicated, consecrated, and sacred to the presence of the Lord]. 22 In him [and in fellowship with one another] you yourselves also are being built up [into this structure] with the rest, to form a fixed abode (dwelling place) of God in (by, through) the Spirit.

As we spiritually grow together in the Church of the Body of Christ, we grow in a Golden Symphony, increasing in our capacity to love according to the perfect standard and pattern of the Tabernacle that Christ himself laid down and abides by. It is the same perfect standard that the Heavenly Father employed in Creation, [Rom. 1:19-20]. As we follow the dictates of this perfect standard, we embody the Christ in us, and on this path to gloryChrist indeed will be fully formed in us as we stay faithful to this standard, [Gal. 2:20].

Galatians 2:20
20 I have been crucified with Christ [in Him I have shared His crucifixion]; it is no longer I who live, but Christ (the Messiah) lives in me; and the life I now live in the body I live by faith in (by adherence to and reliance on and complete trust in) the Son of God, Who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

Plate 3. The 8 Sides of the Great Pyramid. #6
 

“One very unusual feature of the Great Pyramid is the concavity of its four faces, which makes the monument an 8-sided figure, rather than 4-sided like most of the pyramids. In other words, the four sides are hollowed to the inside. This concavity is executed to such an extraordinary degree of precision as to complement the mystery of the structure. From any ground position, it is invisible to the naked eye and only noticed from the air; indeed it was discovered by accident by a British air force pilot flying over the Giza Plateau in 1940, who didn’t miss the chance at this photograph. during the Spring Equinox (21 March). Flinders Petrie voiced a similar observation already, when he noted a hollowing in the core masonry in the center of each face that the courses of the core had dips of as much as 1®.” The concavity was presumed to prevent the casing stones from sliding, i.e. to better bond the nucleus to the casing.” Another theory-a more aesthetic one was: concave faces are more pleasing to the eye, when the value of Phi, is equal to the secant of the face angle of the inner triangle, is also equal toratio of the Pyramid slant height and 1/2 its base-length, that applies to every one of the 8 right-angle triangular faces. Each of the 8-sided faces confirms the Golden Ratio so that it is inscribed into a Golden Rectangle in which the height/base = PhiIt is beyond any doubt that the dimensions of the Great Pyramid are not a coincidence conforming to Pi or Phi.”#7 It is more & more obvious the Giza Plateau in general and specifically the Great Pyramid, were designed to encode sophisticated scientific knowledge.

Plate 4. Airborne photo of the Great Pyramid showing its 8 sides. #8

r/interestingasfuck - a pyramids in the desert

A pyramid based on Phi varies by only 0.025% from the Great Pyramid’s estimated dimensionsPhi is the only number that has the mathematical property of its square being one more than itself:

Φ + 1 = Φ²   or   1.618… + 1 = 2.618

By applying the above Pythagorean equation to this, we can construct a right triangle, of sides a, b and c, or in this case a Golden Triangle of sides √Φ, 1 and Φ, which looks like this:

Golden Ratio Triangle of Great Pyramid of Egypt

This creates a pyramid with a base width of 2 (i.e., two triangles above placed back-to-back on each side of the pyramid) and a height of the square root of Phi, 1.272. This ratio of the height to the base is 0.636.

According to Wikipedia, the Great Pyramid has a base of 230.4 meters (755.9 feet) and an estimated original height of 146.5 meters (480.6 feet). This also creates a height to  base ratio of 0.636, which indicates it is indeed a Golden Triangle, at least to within three significant decimal places of accuracy. If the base is indeed exactly 230.4 meters then a perfect golden ratio would have a height of 146.5367. This varies from the estimated actual dimensions of the Great Pyramid by only 0.0367 meters (1.4 inches) or 0.025%, which could be just a measurement or rounding difference. #9

A pyramid based on golden triangles would have other interesting properties.  The surface area of the four sides would be a golden ratio of the surface area of the base. The area of each triangular side is the base x height/2, or 2 x Φ/2 or Φ. The surface area of the base is 2 x 2, or 4. So four sides is 4 x Φ / 4, or Φ for the ratio of sides to base. #10

The Fibonacci sequence ties directly to the Golden ratio because if you take any of two successive Fibonacci numbers, their ratio is very close to the Golden ratio. As the numbers get higher, the ratio increases to closer Phi values of 1.618. For example the ratio of 3/5 1.666. But the ratio of 13/21= 1.625. With even higher, numbers the ratio of 21/34 = 1.618. These numbers are all successive numbers in the Fibonacci sequence, as these numbers are applied to the proportions of a rectangle, called a Golden rectangle, known as one of the most beautiful and visually satisfying of all geometric forms – hence, the Golden ratio is pervasive in artistic expression. The golden rectangle also ties to the Golden spiral, as it generates the adjacent squares of Fibonacci dimensions. This Golden Spiral is defined as a logarithmic spiral, seen in nature affirming the basis of growth life in the plant, animal, human and spirit kingdoms of life. It is also built-into the structure of the universe, as the logarithmic spiral appears in spiral arms of galaxies. #11

The purity of artistic expression mentioned above in connection with the Golden Rectangle was seen in the early 20th century when archaeologists opened the tomb at Saqqara of the Egyptian architect Khesi-Ra, (an Imhotep contemporary), who was the chief of doctors in the 27th century BC, the main writer and architect of the king and above all a carver. There were 11 boards in his tomb. At first, Egyptologists accepted these panels as false doors, but later it was noticed that there was the proportion 1 : root (5) on the panel [Phi = (1+root(5))/2]. When the height of Khesi-Ra is divided into 18 even segments the navel [of the ideal man] is exactly where one expects to find it according to the classic canon 11:18. The numbers 11 and 18 are close to the ratio of Phi; and they belong to a sequence very much like Fibonacci– (Lucas) sequence composed of the numbers: 2, 1, 3, 4, 7, 11, 18, 29, etc., where the ratio between two successive elements tends similarly to Phi. #12

Vesica Piscis 265 153

The graphic below shows another view of the precession of the poles as the  interlocking wheels of the ecliptic and Equator, with the fish shaped lens of the vesica between them. This “vessel of the fish” is formed from the lozenge of these two interlocking circlescentered o each other’s perimeter. We see the import of Archimedes’ formula of the “Measure of the fish,” to geometry and mathematics in the ratio of its height to its length [153:265], as it represented the nearest whole number approximation of the square root of three, with the controlling ratio of equilateral triangles.#13  In ancient Greece, Pythagoras endorsed 153 as the denominator of the closest fraction to the square root of 3 [265/153], known to the “ratio of the fish” drawn between the two interlocking vesica circles, on each other’s circumference. This provides a basis where we can explore the genuine aspects of the Creator’s application of mathematics and geometry in His order of Creation.

This view powerfully depicts how the Temple and Tabernacle symbolized God’s celestial design of the heavens, seen in their two altars, mirroring the 2 poles of the ecliptic and the Celestial Equator. This agrees with many principles seen in the pattern of God’s Intelligent Design in His Creation. Since the “pattern of the Tabernacle” contains the phi ratio also known as the “divine proportion” or golden section we can see definitive Biblical evidence that this universally recognized standard of measure is truly divine in origin, since the dimensions of these sacred architectural structures were given by revelation from God to Moses and King David.

A goal of Biblical Archaeo-Astronomy is to adopt a fresh view of archaeology of Biblical artifacts like the Hebrew Temple and Tabernacle, viewed through the lens of principles of Biblical Astronomy. This allows us to catch new glimpses of glories long hidden from the astrologers and empiricists, whose practices for too long have clouded the inherent grandeur of the Creator’s sacred architecture. By liberating the divine blueprint of the Temple and Tabernacle from a profane orientation that has served to distort its original pattern, perhaps a new light can be shed upon the true Godly design and purposes hidden in the divine blueprints and architecture. By allowing God’s Word to speak for itself in this key  area, we can introduce a fresh perspective to the field of Archaeo-Astronomy, emphasizing the liberating power of adopting a genuine Biblical perspective in this meaningful area of research. We should keep in mind here that this double-square, (1x 2 rectangle) ground-plan configuration of the Tabernacle’s court containing the phi ratio, we find not only in the dimensions of the Ark of the Covenant [Ex. 25:10], but also in the King’s Chamber of the Great Pyramid. The dynamic celestial equator, the second circle secular in nature, ties to both the civil calendar year and earthly Equator as it is mirrored above into the heavens. The movement of this equatorial pole around the static pole of the ecliptic is what is known as the precession of the poles. The intersection points of the ecliptic and the Celestial Equator known as equinoctial points, which we call the Spring and Fall equinox, days when the length of daylight is equal to the dark of night. The altar in the Holy of Holies, holding the Ark of the Covenant is mirrored in the pole of the ecliptic, around which the equatorial pole movesboth wheels, interlocked in form of a Venn Diagram, depicting God’s personal presence among His people. In the OT, God’s presence was only accessed annually as the people obeyed the tenets of the Law carried out by the High Priest, to cover for their sins. The pattern of eastern access seen above, holds true not only for Solomon’s Temple of the OT, but also remains in the later Temple in Ezekiel 43. Let’s take a detailed look at how the return of Christ integrates this theme of eastern access in the Temple and Tabernacle.

[Ezek. 43:1-5]

Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looks toward the east: [2] And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory. [3] And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face. [4] And the glory of the Lord came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east. [5] So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, beholdthe glory of the Lord filled the house.

God’s people are no longer dependent upon sacrifices of bulls & goats, by a High Priest that only enter God’s presence once a year, but have continual access to the Heavenly Father in Jesus Christ, the High Priest after Melchisedek’s order. As seen in other studies on this site, the planet Jupiter was known by the Hebrew name Sedeq, showing the link with Jupiter and Melchisedek the High Priest. The Jews saw the Messiah as the royal offspring of David “the Sedeq Branch” (Jer. 23:5 JehovahTsidkenu). Moreso, the word Sedeq is tied to Melek-(King) and combined to form Melchisedek, the Righteous King.12

Hebrews 7:11
If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? [Heb 10:19 -20Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his fleshIf Jesus was not a man of flesh and bone as he called himself in his resurrected body, then he could not have been the perfect sacrifice required-the death of a sinless man, to redeem humanity, and we would remain unsaved!  This is completed in a final Paradise Administration referred to in Rev. 21-22. We find this in the reference to Jesus Christ as the “no more curse” in Rev. 22:3, who healed the curse that was put upon man resulting in Adam’s fall in  Gen. 3:17Rev. 22:3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: In Heb. 7:13 above, Solomon set the brazen scaffold in the midst of the court, between the altars of the holy place, and the holiest of all. The configuration of these two altars mirror the basic structure of the alignment of Earth’s polar axis, depicted in the graphic below, [Figure C.]. We can see how the geographic and magnetic poles on Earth are reflected in the North Poles of the ecliptic and the Equator, in the heavens in view of Figure C below.

As we keep the Temple of Jerusalem, the terrestrial paradigm of the North Pole in mind, the word “midst” above in II Chron. 6:13, is “tavek” [H8432]#14 meaning the center, or bisection, so called from its being divided.16 As a terrestrial reflection of the celestial structure of the firmament, a key aspect of the Temple plan is revealed as we consider some other places in God’s Word where this Hebrew word “tavek” occurs. The first use of tavek is in Gen. 1:6 referring to the order of the firmamentdividing the midst of internal great deep waters from out-side waters of the firmament, of the heavens. This depicts the firmament as a vast cosmic bubble, containing all the celestial bodies in the created Universe, bordered by an immense reservoir. This terrestrial paradigm is not limited to a figure of speech like the Temple or Tabernacle of Israel, but by the use oftavek” in this context of God’s ordering of all Creation, it naturally includes the entirety of planet Earth.

Genesis 1 tells us that the waters inside the firmament are linked to Earth, whose continents are bisected at their geographical center by the Great Pyramid on the Giza Plateau. This memorial type of altar bisected the Delta of Egypt, [tavek] as this part of the Nile, was anciently called “the sea.” We find the details of this with the usage of “tavek” in Isa. 19;18-20. This is handled in detail, in the section of our web-site on the Biblical Astronomy of the Great Pyramid. The material we have been studying shows us direct Biblical links, and a celestial reflection of the two altars of the Temple and Tabernacle, as illustrations of the bipolar structure of the Earth, mirroring the galactic poles of the two great celestial circles the ecliptic and the Equator in northern skies. The symbolism of the circle is heavenly, while the symbolism of the square is Earthly. When we overlay the celestial double circle of the galactic North Pole over the terrestrial double square of the Tabernacle’s groundplan, the 1 x 2 rectangle formed in the midst of the Tabernacle’s court, conforms to the common area of the North polar Vesica, between these overlapping celestial circles. This depicts the Creator’s original plan of His Creation reflected on both the macro and micro levels of heaven and earth, as seen in the Temple blueprints, and “pattern of the Tabernacle,” [Heb. 8:5, Exod. 25:9, 40] Only a true Creator could give the details of this Intelligently Designed Plan with such accuracy. Only the Almighty God is able to account for the work of His Hands with precision in such a sweeping vista, encompassing everything from the vast to the smallest scale. All of this is preserved in the fullness of its inherent glory in God’s Holy Word, so that it is undeniable even for fools, because even the fool knows this cannot originate by Chance, but only in the deliberate Intelligent Design and foreknowledge of the Almighty Creator-God.

On the micro level, this structure is intended to symbolize God’s chosen dwelling place in the hearts and minds of the Church in Christ, with man as the reason for Creation, and the container and reflector of the Creator’s gift of holy spirit. In this sense Christ is the ideal man and an emblem of all Creation. All the symbols, like “Vitruvian man,” are based on this original ideal which has been corrupted in the idols of the ages. We as believers will either align our thinking with the poles of the flesh or spirit by the freedom of our will, determining our fellowship with the Heavenly Father through His only mediator, the promised seed-Jesus Christ, the Chief Cornerstone who crowns his Temple, the Church, that unites both Jews and Gentiles.

As King Solomon, son of David, told his prayer to God from the central scaffold between the altars, he practically unified the secular (dynamic) office of the King, with a sacred (static) office of the Priest, from a location taking in  both spheres of activity for the nation of Israel. This is pictured astronomically as the dynamic equatorial pole slowly encircles the static pole of the ecliptic, with the common area between these overlapping polar wheels seen as a vesica or Venn Diagram. This adds to our insight of the precession of the poles, as the equatorial pole shifted from Thuban of Draco to Polaris of Ursa Minor. This fulfills the promise of the coming redeemer as the current pole starPolaris resides under-foot of the Crowned KingCepheus [Eph. 1:20-22]. This celestial image of the King of kings is thus fulfilled in Christ Jesus.

As II Chronicles 6:16 tells us; There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit upon the throne of Israel; yet so that thy children take heed to their way to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me. It is Jesus Christ as the High Priest after the order of Melchisedek, who ultimately fills this position as both king and priest, signifying Christ the fish, giving the true meaning for the vesica as a fish shaped icthus, that is also a Greek word for “fish.” This sign or cipher of the fish was popular in the early days of Christianity, notably with its Piscean links, and has come into vogue again, towards the end of the age. These truths first put  forth in the astronomical context of the fish shaped icthus, at the North Pole, were divorced from these former affiliations as their use was degraded in occult astrological practices. We need only return to the first truths of the Celestial Gospel to recover some hidden secrets of the ages, that only God’s Word can reveal. By forsaking the pagan astrological idols, the wisdom and Symmetry  contained in the Creator’s Order will be revealed as never before. The starry host provides the faithful heavenly witness of these everlasting spiritual truths, as witnessed in the Hourglass Nebula below. God, the Author of life has truly made new life available to all who believe through His Son, the agent of our new and everlasting life. Because the Phi ratio is pervasive in the kingdoms of life, it represents more than just a geometric pattern ruling life. The Ethic built into the Phi ratio not only lays down a geometric pattern of life, but it also lays a pattern that life follows, ever reaching a closer fellowship with the Creator, as Life Source and its First Cause. Thus it not only assumes the existence of the Almighty as the origin and Initiator, Who laid down these patterns, but it cries out to lay hold on our union with its Source. As the Nautilus living in its perfect shell based on the numbers of an algorithmic spiral provide the ideal environs for the Nautilus at each stage of growth in its life, so humanity is pressed to find the Source behind the architecture of the perfect linear geometric expansion of the chambers not only in the Nautilus Shell, but also of the ideal spiritual environs of the Temple and Tabernacle of Israel, and the great statements of the book of Acts.

The diagram below illustrates the increasingly higher dimensional geometry found naturally within the Vesica Piscis. The simple unit movement of the point and circle from centre A to B generates the mathematics for the square roots of one through to five.

The Soul and Sacred Geometry — The Spiritual Meaning of Two Circles, The Vesica Piscis | by NJ Solomon | Medium

Obviously the incidence of Pi and Phi in this sacred history of art and architecture is pervasive, and it demands our attention. If it entailed only a few casual incidents of phi, it could be written off to coincidence, but as we can see this is clearly not the case, as Johannes Kepler shows us in his Harmony of the Spheres, also seen in the Solar System structure of the musical scale.

Figure F. Harmony of the Spheres

Geometry in space / Sacred Geometry <3:

We also find relationships of the Fibonacci Series and the phi ratio in the mean sidereal and mean synodic planetary cycles, with their revolutionary periods of and mean orbital speeds, to include inverse velocity relationships, all based on the ubiquitous phi ratio. Again these multiple phi relationships on their own, might not be enough evidence to convince us of the Creator’s Intelligent Design, but once we see that all these individual planetary relationships fit together themselves in a phi spiral, or logarithmic spiral operating as an exponential constant, organizing the entire order of our solar system, God’s Symmetry is much more difficult to deny. This is especially the case when we find the beauty of this celestial phi symphony of our solar system is only a smaller version of the same phi spiral highlighting the rotational Symmetry of our spiral Galaxy in the Milky Way, seen too in spiral galaxies all through the Universe. Please go to the following link, that details these truths in greater detail than I have space for here. (www.spirasolaris.ca), 17#

Figure 4. The Golden Ratio Rectangle

Here is a simple way to draw and understand a rectangle using the Golden Ratio:  Draw a square (of size “1”) Place a dot half way along one side, Draw a line from that point to an opposite corner (it will be √5/2 in length). Turn that line so that it runs along the square’s side. Then you can extend the square to be a rectangle with the Golden Ratio. This rectangle above shows us a simple formula for the Golden Ratio. When one side is 1, the other side is:

The square root of 5 is approximately 2.236068, so the Golden Ratio is approximately (1+2.236068)/2 = 3.236068/2 = 1.618034. This is an easy way to calculate phi and related geometry we find in our next example, as a key in our study of Biblical Astronomy principles, evident in other topics on our website, like The Calendar of the Biblical Patriarchs. This study points out among many other things, that the cycles of the Sun and Moon are linked via the phi ratio of [1.618] in the 50-year Jubilee cycle, since there are 618 full moons every 50 solar years. This not only exhibits another phi ratio relation in our solar system, but also ties the divine knowledge to the Hebrew calendar as commanded in Levit. 25. Thus, God has designed the phi ratio into the structure of our solar system, even as He has all the other phi/ Fibonacci/ Lucas relations, in all Creation. So, God has designed the phi ratio in our solar system, even as He has all other phi/  Fibonacci/ Lucas relations, throughout the Natural World, depicting His the  symmetry of His Intelligent Design across multi-levels of His Creation. The preponderance of the phi ratio through the Four Kingdoms of Life, is an awesome testimony to the Creator’s Temporal Order. This phi ratio, is arrived at by a scale invariant comparison. The relationship that becomes evident in this comparison is divine, because it is found throughout all levels of the Natural World, from the micro to the macro. In this contrast of the divine proportion, the whole is to the larger as the larger is to the smaller. We find this divine ratio as seen in Plate 1 above in the Phi ratio’s linear expression divided into the square root of 5/2 and 1/2. As we observe the Phi ratio in the Temple and Tabernacle, we also find the examples of the two altars within the courts of the Temple/ Tabernacle pattern depicting a heavenly image of eastern access into God’s presence, via the High Priest’s annual ministry behind the veil, in the holiest of all. The pattern of access from the east mentioned above, holds true not only for Solomon’s Temple of the Old Testament, but also remained for the later Temple referred to in Ezekiel 43:1-5.

The two celestial poles of the ecliptic / Equator are mirrored terrestrially in the physical counterparts of their altars, in both the holy of holies and the holy place. As Pinnock states, regarding the brazen altar of burnt offering:” An added version of this altar is represented below as one of the two poles at the center of two squares -each upon its own center of polarity….”18#

Image result for phi ratio temple/tabernacle of israel

We find Scriptural evidence of this is in Jeremiah 31.

Jeremiah 31:35
Thus saith the Lord, Which giveth the Sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the Moon and of the stars for a light by night, Which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; the Lord of Hosts is His name: The Hebrew word for “ordinance” here, is also used in Job 38:33, in reference to the “ordinances of Heaven” in an astronomical context [Job 38:31-32]. This Hebrew word for “ordinance” is also used referring to Natural Law as seen in Job 28:26, in the context of the Laws of Nature, as prescribed by God concerning for example the “rain, lightning and thunder.”

Since God revealed the dimensions of these sacred enclosures to Moses and King David by divine revelation, we have undeniable proof that the principles of the golden section and phi ratio are utilized as an aspect of the Creator’s Omniscient wisdom and Intelligent Design throughout all levels of Creation [Prov. 3:19]. The Divine power and energy of the Omnipotent Creator resonates in, and through every level of the Works of His Hand, and as we give Him His due credit for His awesome Works, we can join the harmonious chorus of Nature that sings His praises. This illustrates the dynamic growth pattern found in the largest spiral Galaxy, to the smallest of human embryos. Below we find added examples of the geometry of the Golden Ratio Rectangle applied to Sun-Earth-Venus orbits.

Ö Period of Venus * Phi = Distance of the Earth
Ö 2.5490 * 1.6180339 = 1.5966 * 1.6180339 = 2.5833

In addition, Venus orbits the Sun in 224.695 days while Earth orbits the Sun in 365.242 days, conforming to an 8/13 ratio that are successive Fibonacci numbers. Thus 5 conjunctions of Earth and Venus occur every 8 orbits of the Earth around the Sun and every 13 orbits of Venus. 

Along with the planets of our solar system, the starry host shimmers with faithful heavenly witness of these Celestial truths, as seen in the Hourglass Nebula below. This aptly named Nebula counts the sands of time running out on the serpent’s dominion. This fascinating Nebula closely resembles the vesica pattern, with the heart of the Nebula itself inside the fish’s vessel. Intriguingly, this symbol also favors the number 8, having the spiritual significance of a new beginning, while resembling the division of a cell and the birth of new life. God, the Author of life has truly marked this new life with an explosion of light, both at their physical and spiritual conception to all born male and female, and who believe in His Son, the agent of our new and everlasting life.

Figure 5. The Hourglass Nebula

celestial indicator

The Hourglass Nebula appears as another celestial indicator of the importance of the symbolic vessel of the fish,” representing the Age of Pisces as a foretold  precessional age that would reveal the long awaited and prophesied promised seed, and the final victory over the serpent. We have seen the critical nature of the advent of this age is in the chronology of the ages of the precession of the equinoxes. The details of how the opening of this Piscean Age was marked during the Celestial Prelude, and on my website. This accounts for most of the  “Piscean symbolism” in the Christian mysteries. Many of these “mysteries” were based on an emphasis of the purely geometric aspects of this knowledge, but as we view the signs of the Birth of Christ in 7 and 3 BC in their true celestial roots, we can avoid the labyrinth of mythic and occult admixtures, that corrupt their true meaning. We should note how the pagan cultures of Babylon and ancient Egypt took elements of this “mighty system” of Patriarchal Astronomy in to idolatrous applications of their individual star religions. Yet we still discern the original pattern of truth hidden under these idolatrous facades of ancient astrology.

The Chaldeans and Egyptians, as the Pythagoreans after them, present a clear case where this cloaking of the original truths in the celestial gospel resulted in its corruption. To remove the insidious influence of Astrology, we must recognize the original celestial symbols before they were corrupted and return to the solid ground of their Scriptural underpinnings upon which these truths can be re-set in their original purity. The association of the earthly twelve tribes of Israel with the twelve signs of the zodiac, give us a view wherein we see a way in which the “ordinances of heavens have their dominion in the earth,” [Job 38:33]. This is a primary goal of Biblical Archaeo-Astronomy utilizing the tools of the God-Breathed Word in concert with the witness of the stars.

 It great to have wonderful believers like yourselves to stand and share with, and I very much appreciate the notes and feedback that you send. As always you are welcome to respond via the Biblical Astronomy Fellowship forum.

 

God Bless!

The Celestial Gospel.

Welcome to our April 2024 Blog! This month we are featuring the class Syllabus notes for the first two segments of the Celestial Gospel Seminar that was run by Rev. Jon Nessle and myself in Mahwah New Jersey. What a great Day in the Word we enjoyed with all the Northeast believers, this month graciously hosted by PK Krywos of the Christian Family Fellowship of New Jersey Believers. The class Syllabus notes for Segment 3-the concluding session are found in the June 21′ blog. The entire class will be available online shortly for your edification and enjoyment!

 Old Covenant Foundations of the Celestial Gospel

There is an existing debate over the validity of a Celestial Gospel over the years, the term referring to what E.W. Bullinger called the “Witness of the Stars” in his popular book on the subject, published in 1893. A Bullinger contemporary  was Dr. Joseph Seiss, who published “The Gospel in the Stars,” a decade earlier in 1882. These two resources provided a foundation for study in this important area of research, as they built on earlier work of Frances Rolleston who published her work in the book; The Mazzaroth, or the Constellations in 1865. E.W. Bullinger credits Rolleston for her research as the first to generate interest in this key but, misunderstood topic.

Although FRolleston was the first among more modern writers to advocate the Celestial Gospel, that does not mean that there are no ancient texts that support or attest to the Gospel in the Stars. For the most part, we need only consult the Biblical Text for all the needed proof, since God always protects
the integrity of His Word, whether Spoken, Written in the Stars, or written in
Scripture. A goal of this research is to provide a solid Biblical and spiritual foundation for The Gospel in the Stars, which as a specific topic of study has remained a bit cloudy and illdefined in certain categories up to now. Since the cornerstone of the Celestial Gospel foundations are found in holy Scripture, they provide the spiritual principles upon which the Star Gospel is based, but they are
by no means the only historical evidence supporting these foundations. There is a rich astro-archaeological history of ancient cultures like Egypt, India, Persia, not to mention ancient Israel naming a few, whose testimonies added their voices to support of the meanings and concepts of the star names of the Celestial Gospel.

Although the monumental works of Rolleston, Bullinger, Seiss and others did provide a basis to understand the idea of the Celestial Gospel, their works did not fully disclose the OT Covenant foundations of the Celestial Gospel in God’s Word. Thus, lacking the full Biblical basis for the Celestial Gospel, it is critics like Faulkner, who have attempted to exploit this blindspot to discredit the idea of The Celestial Gospel, that demands a response to shine a positive spotlight on this key topic. This is a focus of our current study. In context of Jon Nessle’s OT History Class, an overarching framework of God’s OT Covenants initiated by God to Man were establishedstarting with Adam and Seth, and  included NoahAbraham, MosesDavid and the prophets, completed in the Promised Seed-Jesus Christ. This was generally accomplished in previous teachings in our seminar on the Celestial Gospel of the OT History Class. Today we will expand on the basis of these teachingsproviding added key details to the truths we first presented two years ago.  

In a recent critique of the writings of Frances Rolleston and the idea of the “Gospel in the Stars,” that she popularized c. mid-1800’s, [Dr. Faulkner-2013] states;

Not only are there no texts preserving the original knowledge of the gospel in the stars, but we know of no sources before Rolleston that claimed that there ever were such texts, or that any ever lived who believed such things. The first source we know of to make this claim is Frances Rolleston’s book. Let me be clear—it is obvious from Rolleston’s book that she had no texts that clearly taught her thesis. Instead, she created the meanings to support her thesis without reliance upon any older texts. The evidence we have that is most consistent with the Gospel in the stars thesis not being an ancient idea at all, but entirely the invention of Frances Rolleston less than 200 years ago.”#1

To begin our response to Dr. Faulkner’s assertion that the idea of “the Gospel in the Stars thesis not being an ancient idea at all,” we will open with evidence to first counter Faulkner related to the Great Sphinx

Figure 1. The Great Sphinx

ancient egypt

In the ancient Egyptian language, one later derivation of the word “Sphinx” is found in the Egyptianshesep ankh,” meaning a living image. However, instead of the living idol images of idol gods or pharaohs, a proposal of this study is that the Great Sphinx was originally intended as an oracle of the Promised Seed and the Messiah. Both Lockyer and Rolleston state, that a function of the Great Sphinx symbolized the summer Solstice 4000 years before Christ, sealed by the union of the constellations Virgo and Leo. The name “Sphinx” in the ancient dialects means “the pouring out” as in [Deut. 33:19] relating to the creation of the world, the inundation and the summer solstice, where the Nile begins to rise. Deut. 33:19 translates the inundation of the Nile as ‘abundance’ in the blessing of Zebulon who bore Virgo upon his standard.”#2  There exists a tradition that the Creation took place at the summer solsticeThis view of the figure of the Great Sphinx was seen as the junction of the signs Virgo and Leo, marked by the star Denebolaa star name meaning “the Lord comes quickly.” 3#

The Riddle of the Sphinx attests to the Sun’s solar circuit on the ecliptic [Ps. 19:1] that marks the starting point of where to begin reading the first chapter of the wondrous heavenly scroll of the Celestial Gospel. Another meaning of the word “Sphinx” is to “bind closely together” and this design of the junction of the signs of the Virgo and Leo constellations, shows the two ends of the Mazzaroth to be joined in a renown mythical union of the greatest and oldest Sculpture on our Planet. The union of the head of the woman-Virgo with the body of Leo the Lion, the Great Sphinx is a constant reminder from ancient Egypt, to begin our deciphering of the circular witness of The Celestial Gospel in Virgo that concludes in Leo. This ancient and great monument thus not only preserves the canon of God’s Word engraved in the heavens but also this fusion of alpha/omega signs in Scripture are inseparably linked for all time, written in the stars. As Enoch Prophesied of the Promised Seed [Jude 1:14] before this witness was ever committed to holy Writ of Scripture, [Ps. 19:1-4], so his witness is a doctrinal pillar to support the Celestial Gospel. This heavenly witness has been continuously rehearsing the truths of the Creator’s handiwork to all ancient cultures of the created earth, as God established a tabernacle for the Sun in the 12 constellations and signs of the Mazzaroth, on the Zodiacal Band and the ecliptic, [Rev. 12:1-2].

Rolleston
notes that this junction of Virgo and Leo, marked by the star Denebola, a name meaning “the Lord or Judge who comes quickly,” thus embodies the living image, of the Lord Jesus Christ coming in judgment. As the star marking the link between Virgo and Leo, the prophetic message of the alpha and omega signs of the Biblical zodiac, the celestial image of the coming Messiah has endured in the largest, oldest and most renown sculpture on the planet-The Great Sphinx.

The Mystery of the Sphinx and the Celestial Gospel

Scriptural references and ancient sources demonstrate that God called the constellations by their names, opening with Virgo and ending with Leo, and their order is divinely orchestrated, forming the ancient basis of the Gospel in the Stars. The Almighty has ensured the preservation of His Gospel in the Stars not only in the 100+ individual ancient Hebrew star names, many preserved in Hebrew Scriptures, but also with 425+ star names from all ancient languages, including ancient Egypt that documents the themes taught by each of the 12 constellations, supported by their decans.

Ps. 147:4-5 He telleth [H] the number of the stars; He calleth [H] them all by their namesGreat is our Lord, and of great power: His understanding is infinite. [See also Isa. 40:22-26]

The Scriptures are God’s Revealed Word and absolute standard for truth, and the oldest book in Scriptural canon is the Book of Job, that contains more ancient direct astronomical references to star names than any other. Some of the same words that God uses as star names also occur in other Scriptural contexts, from which we can glean added depth to the truth evident in both Gospels written in the stars and Scripture. The truth that God Himself numbered and named the Stars, shows the weight and emphasis He puts on His Celestial Gospel, [Isa. 55: 8-13]. God did not leave the integrity of the truth of His Word in the hands of men, for any aspect of His Wordendorsing the integrity of both Scripture and the Gospel in the Stars under the exclusive authority of God Almighty alone. We find this depicted as the Almighty questions Jobregarding Who has control over the Heavens.

Job 38:31-33 31 Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion32 Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?33 Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? Canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?

It is the witness of Scripture alone that supports the validity of the Celestial Gospel, to stand or fall on the merit of these Godly Covenants, as the word of the Almighty requires no assistance from secular sources, the ordinances of heaven. But this does not mean there is a lack of secular evidence in support of the Celestial Gospel, including archaeological history from ancient Egypt that appears on this link, to my blog in April, 2020. This study is part of a series of rebuttals against Dr. Faulkner’s critique of Frances Rolleston’s writings on The Mazzaroth, along with the works of Dr. Bullinger and DrSeiss.

To understand the roots of the Celestial Gospel, we must first comprehend God’s Creation of the Heavens and Earth, and His Covenant’s with Man, beginning in Genesis. The StarsSun and Moon were not created till the 4th day of Creation Week. These lights in the firmament were organized, to divide the day from the night, and for signs, seasonsdays and years, as the Sun, Moon and Stars move in their preordained courses on the eclipticset in synchronized motion by the Hand of The Almighty, in the beginning. [Gen. 1:14-19, Ps. 19, Isa. 40:22-26]

Faulkner admits that; “Gen. 1:14 records that one of the purposes of the heavenly bodies is for man to mark the passage of time (seasons, days, and years), which has always been a function of astronomy. As the first man, Adam was in place to establish astronomy, in its calendrical function, thus Faulkner has no quarrel with this aspect of the stellar witness of the heavens, that has been a given in the scientific community going back to many ancient cultures like Egypt and Greece, also agreed by Josephus.” #4

As we proceed in this study, we will see how Adam’s position as the first man in establishing astronomy and timekeeping based on astronomical calendars, is a key aspect of the narrative providing a foundation for the Celestial Gospel, established with Noah’s Covenant, that cannot be ignored. We will also see that the Celestial Gospel includes key topics in astronomy both vital and central to the History of Astronomyforming basis at the origins of Astronomy as an aspect of Scientific inquiry. An example of this is the conception of the 12 constellations on the ecliptic as a unit. Another related concept is that of The Zodiacal Band, found documented below. Both of these concepts are included in the Celestial monument of the Great Sphinx, as seen in the oldest book of Biblical Canon, the book of Job;

Job 19:23-25

23 Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!
24 That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock forever! 25 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:

These verses were not only indicative of Job’s knowledge of his coming redeemer, but also of his faith that this redeemer would stand at a future latter day upon the earth. This knowledge directly corresponds both, with a witness that was engraved in the rock forever, remaining unto our day, and in agreement with the witnesses of the celestial and written gospels. The word “For,” beginning verse 25, grammatically depicts the purpose of his words along with a monumental witness in stone, whose longevity still stands in our day, as a witness to the redeemer that Job foresaw so long ago. Thus, Job’s reference in this majestic declaration of his redeemer, graven in rock forever, is readily linked with this enduring memorial on the Giza plateau, analogous with the prophecy written in the stars, as a unit between Leo and Virgo, in the Celestial Gospel, memorialized in the Great Sphinx.

In the only book of the Bible, exclusively addressed to the Patriarchal AgeJob’s stone-cut words ring out from the earth’s most massive and ancient hand carved sculpture, as a witness of the stars, testifying to observe, what God provided not only to Biblical Patriarchs in the Bible’s first book written by Job, but in
unique concert with the Celestial Gospel that predated the written Scriptures, engraved in the heavens as a precursor of the first book of God’s sacred text, in Genesis 15. Here God records His Covenant with Abraham, telling him to look to the stars, to see if he could number them, adding “so shall thy seed be.” The very idea that God recorded His Covenant with Abraham in the stars of the Celestial Tapestries, linked the perpetual nature of His Covenant with the 12 tribes of Israel to the fixed stars, in steadfast permanence, that furnished evidence in the 12 constellations of the Heavens; as a multi-media affirmation of His truth, the enduring witness and everlasting Word of the Almighty Creator.

As we have seen in previous blogs the origin and purpose of the Great Sphinx is rooted in astronomy. The stellar function of the Great Sphinx is augmented by the role of the Sphinx as a sighting device, tying directly to its astronomical functions, in this case to observe and record the horizon points of the sunrise, as documented by Moses Cotsworth.#5 This aspect of the Sphinx shines new light on its astronomical origins related to the Dendera Zodiac, from it’s Temple in EsnehEgypt. From the hieroglyphs on this ancient Egyptian Zodiac we find a representation of the basic celestial elements of the Great Sphinx broken down in Figure 2 below.

Figure 2. Inset graphic of Virgo and Leo originating the basis for the Great Sphinx in its original Celestial Context.#6

relief from the Temple of Esneh

The inset graphic on the Dendera Zodiac above is from Egypt’s Esneh Temple, where an image of a Sphinx was put between the signs for Leo (on the lower left) and Virgo (on the right, holding a branch). The word sphinx means “to bind closely together” (from Greek-Sphiggo), depicting the point where the Mazzaroth/ 12 constellations begin and end. And, like the female head of the Sphinx, the constellations begin with Virgo, and end in the Sphinx’s lion tail, with Leo. This reveals an astronomical purpose of the alpha-omega signs on the ecliptic, denoting the inception point of where to begin reading the witness of the stars as they relate the circular message of the coming King and redeemer-Jesus Christ, on the ecliptic. This divine order of the Mazzaroth, is preserved in the Sphinx, as an exhibit in a Megalithic Museum of archaeo-astronomy structures on the Giza Plateau-with the Pyramids, and the Great Sphinx unlocking age-old mysteries of the zodiac, consistent with the themes of the Gospel in the Stars, taught by men of God like Enoch, and Seth; as great examples of Patriarchs of the Bible, before the tenets of Scripture were fully committed to writing. This notion is supported by ancient traditions in Egyptian and Bible History, where Enoch held a key place as the embodiment of Thoth-the god of wisdom, and as the divine scriberecorded the King’s deeds in his reign. The semblance between Enoch and Thoth/Hermes, is evident as both were revered pertaining to the invention of writing and sacred booksWith shared celestial rootsHermes ostensibly recorded 36,525 books and lived 365.25 years, so Enoch also lived 365 years, [Gen. 5:23] to match the number of days in a solar, and Egyptian Sothic year. This stands out in the genealogy of Bible Patriarchs as an anomaly, as all of Enoch’s relatives- in a line of Bible Patriarchs had life spans exceeding 895 years-except Lamech who lived 777 years; in excess of twice Enoch’s lifespan. In later Judeo-Christian lore, from Josephus, offspring of Seth including Enoch, was credited with planning and building two pillars, one of stone linking to the Great Pyramid of Giza, and the other, likely the Great Sphinx, were both encoded with prophetic wisdom in the Siriadic land,” referring to Egypt, the land of Sirius, before the flood. [see the “pillar” of Isa. 19:19]#7

In reference to a key astronomical function of the Great Sphinx, in its Pre-dynastic stellar role as a sighting device, one astronomical aim was to watch and record the horizon points of the sunrise, seen not only in the Great Sphinxorientation facing due east, but also to mark the tropics of Capricorn & Cancer. 

The Great Sphinx

Image result for Great Pyramids with satellite pyramids images

The Sphinx’s solar alignments related to earth’s tropical borders, depicted ancient knowledge of the Zodiacal bandwithin which the heavenly bodies and stars named by God the Creator [Ps. 147:4, Gen. 37:9-11, Isa. 40:26, Job 9:7], shed their 3-fold light upon the Earth. God set the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, as celestial boundaries wherein the Sun, Moon and Planets all moveabove and below the celestial Equator. God created all the stars and numbered these celestial bodies, but He did not name them all without exception. Thus, the stars within the Zodiacal Band-God marked to carry His message in The Celestial Gospel, and His eternal plan to redeem mankind. There have been few to realize the key role of the Great Sphinx as the Alpha/Omega signs in the the circle of the Celestial Gospelbut I have not seen it referenced as an early symbol of the Zodiacal Band anywhere else. We find added biblical evidence of this in Joseph’s 2nd dream, [Gen. 37:9-11], in its astronomical context.

Gen. 37:9-11 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me10 And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto himWhat is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth? 11 And his brethren envied himbut his father observed the saying.

The Zodiacal Band of 12 primary Constellations and their stars.

In Joseph’s second dream, we find evidence not only of the knowledge of the Zodiacal band with the Biblical Patriarchssince Joseph’s 11 brothers appear as 11 stars, with Joseph as the 12th constellation, summarizing the primary signs found along the paths of the Sun and Moon, embodied in Joseph’s parents. We also see evidence of the ancient knowledge of the Precession of the Equinoxes, wrapped up in the idea that “the eleven stars made obeisance to me.” This idea that the other 11 Constellations of the eclipticbowed down, prostrated them-selves to Joseph’s sign/star, exhibits a figurative idea of precessionexpanded upon in the link above. This ancient knowledge of the zodiacal band with the Bible Patriarchs, is added astronomical proof, and key aspect of the Celestial Gospel in concert with Scripture, astronomy and the Great Sphinxthe head of the woman-Virgo unified with the body of the Lion-Leo, as a stellar prophecy of the promised seed in the birth of Christ.

We also find the perfection of divine order in the number 10 related to the genealogy of Biblical Patriarchs, and the legacy of God’s Covenants with man, where not only Noah was counted as the 10th generation from Adam, [Gen. 5:1-32], but also in Abraham as the 10th generation from Shem, son of Noah [Gen. 11:10-26]. Thus all Earth’s inhabitants, were saved in Noah’s seed, as the focus of God’s singular purpose to redeem and save sinful man from every tribe, tongue, nation, and race, through the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, [Gen. 3: 15]. This reveals God’s purpose, as developed in a further series of Covenants building from Noah to Abraham and his seed, providing both a temporal and spiritual context of how God Almighty not only repaired these Ages or spiritual dispensations, but also progressively revealed His eternal purposes in Christ.

Contrary to Faulkner, Dispensationalism presents a framework to interpret Scripture as it lays out successive periods of redemptive history where God progressively revealed more and more about His plan of redemptionThis corresponds to [Heb. 11:3] “the worlds [aion-ages and time periods] or each of the ages [dispensations] were framed by the word of God… This also exposes Faulkner’s falsehood that God would reveal His entire redemption plan to the first Adam.

As we build the case for The Celestial Gospel in Scripture, an added key aspect of this narrative involves the astronomical subject matter of the ancient prophets in harmony with the application of their star prophecies. In the oracle of Balaam in [Num. 24:8] below as he beholds the glory of Israel’s wilderness encampment, and he identifies three of the four tribes at the cardinal points of the compass; Aquarius in verse 7, emptying his water buckets into the Southern fishPisces Australis, with Taurus the wild Ox in verse 8, and Leo the Lion in Num. 24:9. Num. 24:8 documents how God brings the 12 tribes coming from Joseph and his 11 brothers out of Egypt, in summary by referencing three of the “corner-stone tribes” of Israel that embodied the constellations of Aquarius, Leo and Taurus. These royal constellations of Israel provide us the anchor points of the 4 key tribes at the foundational sides of Israel’s wilderness camp, later carried over to the structure of the city plan of Jerusalem itself.

iii. Balaam’s Prophecy. This imagery from the prophecy of Balaam spoke of the destiny of Israel. He mentions that Israel shall pour water out of his buckets” (Reuben/Water Bearer), “he lay down as a lion” (Judah/ Lion) and he has “the strength of a unicorn” (Joseph/Bull), and shall “break their bones” as does either an eagle or constrictor serpent (Dan; Num. 24:7-9). This attests to the fact that the Northern tribe of Dan was omitted from this list of the 12 tribes because they introduced the forbidden practice of idolatry to Israel, and were replaced by the Eagle/Aquila. The idea that again all four figures correspond to the cornerstone symbolism indicates that this prophecy refers to constellations linked to these 12 tribes. For instanceancient stellar history shows the signs of Taurus (the bull) and Orion, in cave art of Lascaux, in France, dating back to 3000-2900 B.C.

cave art

For those who do not think there is any reference to the stars in the picture of the bull above, please note the series of dots above his back. These are the Pleiades. The dots under the eye of the bull are the Hyades, and the four dots to the left of the bull’s nose are the stars in Orion’s belt. There is really no avoiding this identification. #8

The book of Job is the earliest completed book of the Old Testament, written circa 2900 B.C. In Job 38:31-32, the Pleiades and Orion are both mentioned by name, and linked closely with Taurus.

Num. 24:2-9 [ESV]

 And Balaam lifted up his eyes and saw Israel camping tribe by tribe. And the Spirit of God came upon him, and he took up his discourse and said, “The oracle of Balaam the son of Beorthe oracle of the man whose eye is opened,[athe oracle of him who hears the words of God, who sees the vision of the Almighty, falling down with his eyes uncovered: How lovely are your tents, O Jacob, your encampments, O IsraelLike palm groves[b] that stretch afarlike gardens beside a riverlike aloes that the Lord has plantedlike cedar trees beside the watersWater shall flow from his bucketsand his seed shall be in many watershis king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.

 God brings him out of Egypt and is for him like the horns of the wild oxhe shall eat up the nations, his adversariesand shall break their bone  in pieces and pierce them through with his arrowsHe crouched, he lay down like a lion and like a lioness; who will rouse him up? Blessed are those who bless youand cursed are those who curse you.”

The cycles of the Sun and Moon bowing down to Taurus from Joseph’s dream [Gen. 37:9-11], tells us that the precessional Age of Taurus is indicated, which is consistent with the cardinal constellations pointed out in Numbers 23-24, that detail the precessional markers or cardinal points for this age. This precessional knowledge filtered through ancient Egypt and was applied along with the Sothic Calendar, during the Age of Taurus, documented by many archaeo-astronomers. #9 Even as Abraham is recorded in history among the first teachers of the ancient Egyptians, there were others like Enoch and Shem before him. As Jacob’s grand-father, Abraham also schooled Jacob in the tenets of the Patriarchal Academy of Astronomy.

This exerted a powerful influence on the Astronomy of the ancient Near East. We find this knowledge applied in the stellar alignments of numerous ancient Egyptian temples oriented to zodiacal signs signifying their related precessional age, as pointed out by Dr. Herbert Lockyer, providing added evidence that the Biblical Patriarchs not only knew of the precessional cycle, but also applied it in a spiritual context, as we find here in Numbers 24, with their wilderness encampment around Israel’s Tabernacle. In Exodus 25, God’s Word reveals a standard of the Pattern [H8403] of the Tabernacle [H4908; Ex. 26, 38:21, Ex39, 40:1-33, Ps. 46:5, 84:1-2, 132:5-7]#10 that God showed Moses, as a blueprint to build God’s tent, or Sanctuary [H4720-Exo25:8 below], according to how God dwelt among His people, as a point of contact for Israel, as He led them into and through the wilderness.

Ex. 25:8-10
And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them. According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it. 10 And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.

Dr. Ernest Martin’s conclusion, from scrutinizing this Biblical data, that “there was a common Divine pattern regarding the structure of the universe seen in the Garden of Eden, the Hebrew Camp in the wilderness, and the Temple built by King Solomon. One way to see this common pattern between the earthly and  heavenly structures is in a comparison between the three general compartments within the Temple, and the three heavens noted in Scripture, as the three main sections of the Temple were designed to show these three heavens. The first section was open to the sky and to all weather phenomena, where birds could also fly within it. This area of the Temple answered to the “first heaven” which was like our atmosphere surrounding the earth. The “second heaven” in the Temple symbolically began at the eastern curtain in front of the Holy Place. Josephus tells us this curtain had the principal stars of the heavens displayed in  tapestry form. It represented the entrance into the starry heavens beyond our  atmosphere. Josephus says that west of this curtain, the center of the Zodiacal Circle with its seven visible planets were displayed on the south side in the form of the Menorah, and its the seven lamps. The twelve signs of the Zodiac denoting the twelve months of the year were displayed on the north side in the twelve loaves of the Table of Shewbread. This second court of the priests represented all the starry heavens above the earth’s atmosphere. But beyond this “second heaven” there was yet a “third heaven.” This “third heaven” was the Heaven of Heavens, or in Temple terminology the Holy of Holies was equal to God’s celestial abode where His Palace and Divine precincts were located, that the Apostle Paul called “Paradise.” Each one of the twelve tribes of Israel had a zodiacal sign associated with it.Dr. Martin goes on to link an astronomical pattern in the design of the camp in the wilderness and where each of the 12 tribes of Israel were placed in relation to the Tabernacle. This pattern was later established around the environs of Jerusalem itself. Moses positioned each of the twelve tribes of Israel to represent a particular zodiacal sign in its regular stellar, or astronomical order.” #11

It is curious to me how Dr. Faulkner, liberally quotes Josephus in his writings to degrade the idea of the Gospel in the stars, yet he somehow omits this quote from Josephus that favors a recognition of the Gospel in the Stars, as found in not only certain curtains in the Tabernacle of Israel, but also in the 3 main areas of the pattern of the Tabernacle and Temple, as they resemble 3 Heavens and Earths, in their pattern. It seems that Dr. Faulkner’s choice of support research lacks an equity in presenting the views of Josephus related to the Gospel in the Stars.

ii. Four Principal Tribes of IsraelJacob (Israel) had 12 sons, and each of them is linked in God’s Word with one of the 12 constellations of the zodiac[q] Hebrew scholars have at times been uncertain of the correspondence of all twelve tribes but the four references to the royal signs are clear from Scripture. The relate to the four principal tribes: Reuben, Judah, Dan, and Joseph.

Figure 3. Aquarius and the Southern Fish. [Reuben] 

The Message in the Stars - Aquarius - Berean Insights

The Water Bearer pours out a river into the Southern Fish.

The Star Fomalhaut is located in the eye/head of the Southern Fish. This aligns with mental ability. The color that is associated with this Direction may vary: it can be bluerepresenting water. As we view the colors of the Hebrew Tabernacle, their scriptural basis provides a solid foundation of God’s Word to draw our conclusions from, avoiding speculation and private interpretation.

Each of those four tribes is linked with one of the royal constellations in the blessing given them by Jacob or Moses. Reuben was told he is unstable as water,” alluding to the Water Bearer. The name Reuben, means “Behold a son,” also ties him to the Water Bearer, among the zodiac signs, having the figure of a man. He is also mentioned as being over the “excellency of power” (Gen. 49:3-4), as Reuben aligned to the winter season in the original prophetic calendar, [Deut. 33:6]. 

The tribe of Judah was given the prime position in this Zodiacal design by being located directly east of the entrances to the Tabernacle and the later Temples.  The positions of these four prime tribes were arranged 90 degrees from each other within the 360 degree circle– to accord with the four seasons of the year, and the cardinal points of the compass. As a key aspect of the Gospel in the Stars a prophetic account centering on the Messiah and Promised Seed of Israel destined to come from the tribe of Judah, each of the 12 signs told a critical aspect of the Messiah’s deliverance of Israel, as the chief tribe Judah/Leo– was set to preside over the summer season in prophetic and the calendar matters, [Deut. 33: 7].

Figure 4. Leo The Lion of Judah. #12

Judah is a lion’s whelp” (Gen. 49:9) ties him to the Lion. Moreover, John refers to Christ as “the lion of the tribe of Judah” (Rev. 5:5), establishing the linkage of Judah to the lion. The Lion represents the King, and Judah began the royal lineage through which the Davidic line of kings came. The name Judah means “praised,” suggesting that this line of kings in the Christ-Line through him (especially Christ) would be praised.

The next pivotal tribe proceeding counterclockwise around this zodiacal design of the “Camp of Israel“… was Dan. It was positioned on the north side of the Temple and Jerusalem as a venomous animal, sometimes displayed as an eagle with a snake in its talonscalled Scorpio, a venomous scorpion today. Its station was at the autumn season in the prophetic calendar of Israel.

Dan shall be a serpent…that bites the horse heels” (Gen. 49:17), which parallels the symbolism of the Scorpius/Serpent, depicted stinging the Serpent Bearer-Ophiuchus in the heel, [Gen. 3:15] The name Dan means “judge” and the serpent symbolizes the wisdom of a judge. The serpent in Eden was acknowledged as one of the wisest of his creatures. For example, the Lord has admonished his servants to bewise as serpents and harmless as doves.” The kind of wisdom referred to especially invokes that of being a good judgeAntares, the bright star in the Scorpion’s heart, is realized as the seat of wisdom. For example, the Lord put wisdom into the heart of King Solomon so that he could judge his people wisely, (2 Chron. 1:11-12, 1 Kings 10:24; cp, Ex. 26:2, Ecc. 8:5, Job 38:36).

Figure 5. Taurus the Bull From Jamieson #13

The Constellation Taurus, the bull.

Finally, Joseph is compared to a wild ox, with Joseph’s son’s Ephraim and Manasseh compared to its two horns (Deut. 33:17). The Hebrew word refers to an extinct species of wild ox the size of an elephant having two long forward pointing horns, seen in the sign of Taurus the Bull. The bright star Aldebaran in Taurus represents its eye, the symbol of a seer (one who “sees”). Joseph wasgreat seer, so the Bull was appropriate for his sign. The name Joseph means “Jehovah has added,” probably referring to his multitude of descendants, in Ephraim and Manasseh, the horns of this sign. Ephraim was on the south side of the Temple and Jerusalem as the bullock of Taurus, positioned to align to  the spring season in the context of its prophetic and calendar implications. 
Thus, each of the four principal tribes of Israel are explicitly correlated in the blessings of Jacob, to one of the four cornerstone constellations at the cardinal points.

iv. Banners and Directions. Each of 12 tribes of Israel had a flag or banner with its sign. The Hebrew word for “sign” is translatedensign” in the KJV Bible (Num. 2:2), but Hebrew scholars make it clear that the signs also refer to zodiac constellations. According to tradition, the figure of a man was found on Reuben’s banner, a lion on Judah’s, a serpent on Dan’s, and a bull on Joseph’s (Son’ Ephraim, who took his place). These were the same images seen on the tribal flags in their wilderness camp, reflecting the four banners facing the four cardinal directions: Judah facing East, Reuben facing South, Ephraim facing West, and Dan facing North, with the Scorpion replaced by the Eagle.
(Num, 2:3,10,18,25). Below the High Priest [Christ] is seen in the center vesica, with these four cardinal constellations at the corners of this engraving.

The Four Cardinal Points

The ancient Greeks described Taurus as a snow-white bull. Aldebaran, a first magnitude star is located at the eye of the Bull, the eye-symbolic of a seer, as was Joseph of Egypt, associated with the Bull. Thus, the Bull is symbolic of spiritual strength, and especially the gift ministry of being a Prophet/Seer.

Blue is symbolic of peaceful tranquility, that goes with the wisdom of a good judge. When applied with a gift ministry it is the wisdom that is from above, which is first pure, peaceable and gentleeasy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits [Gal. 5:22] as part of the fruits of righteousnesssown in Peace of them that make peace. This is how we can emulate the Prince of Peace, to promote true and genuine peace and Justice.

Antares is located at the heart of the Scorpion. The heart is a figurative seat of wisdom, and the scorpion/serpent symbolizes wisdom. The heart/chest-the regulator/pump of the body’s life-blood can also symbolize emotional/ and physical/ strength.

Thus, the placement of all four of the royal stars in the cornerstone signs is consistent with the symbolism of emotional, spiritual, mental and physical aspects of all living souls. Note also that spiritual and physical aspects are opposite each other in the circle (white opposite purple), as are the mental and emotional (blue opposite red), also found in the Yin/Yang symbol.

In Num. 10:14-28, God’s Word removes the mystery of the order of the 12 tribes as they camped in the wilderness. Num. 11:14 verifies that the Standard [H1714degel; flag, banner] of Judah/Leo in first place, followed by Issachar in v. 15, and Zebulon in v. 16, with the sons of Gershom and Merari, Levites bearing the Tabernacle. Next was the Standard of Reuben’s tribe in v. 18; followed by Simeon in v. 19, and Gad in v. 20, with the Kohathites bearing the Sanctuary in v. 21, to sum up the first 6 tribes. The Standard of the Camp of Ephraim is listed in v. 22, with Manasseh next in v. 23, as Taurus’ two horns, then Benjamin, in v. 24. Verse 25 shows the Standard of Dan as the rearward of all the camps and their hosts, followed by Asher in v. 26, and Naphtali in v. 27. Verse 28 concludes with;

28 Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their armies, when they set forward.

From a Bible perspective outside the books of Genesis and Job, God revealed His Word and Will to the Patriarchs in the stellar witness and Celestial Gospel of the Promised redeemer of mankind. When we consider the Hebrew wordmazzaroth,” we find an early reference to the 12 Mazzaroth signs, occurring as a unit in Job. Later references to the 12 signs of the ecliptic in Scripture, are built upon what we find here in Job and the Genesis Creation record and the  Patriarchs. This provides added evidence of the antiquity of this knowledge of the entire zodiac, in the context of the Bible Patriarchs. In the graphic above we find the 12 Tribes of Israel linked to the order of the 12 Mazzaroth signs, with 3 tribes camped on each side, 4-square and the Tabernacle in the center, with Moses, Aaron and the Priests in the middle inside the square of 12 tribes.

This order of the 12 tribes as they camped around the Tabernacle is established in Numbers 2 in a graphic in the marginal notes of The Companion Bible by E.W. Bullinger, related to Num. 2:32.#15 Bullinger also has marginal notes on Num. 2:2 related to the word ‘standard‘ [H1714degel; translated ‘ensign‘ as follows; “each standard is said to have itssign” [H226owth; sign, token, symbol, standard, prodigy, miracle, indicating a signal of something, as God’s Abrahamic Covenant had circumcision, [Gen. 17:11].#16 A foundational aspect of God’s Word is seen in Gen. 1:14;

14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

These ‘signs are specifically related to the stellar nature of the 12 signs of the ecliptic, as seen in Gen. 37:9 linked with the 12 tribes of Israel fulfilled in the  11 brothers of the Patriarch Joseph. As we search the details of The Celestial Gospel, we will find it specifically and clearly stated in God’s Word, as part of God’s Old Covenants with His chosen people, especially in Abraham’s Covenant.

As Gen. 2:19-20 states:

19 And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air, and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them; and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

 20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found a helper meet for him. [KJ21]

In v.19 what Adam would “call” the beasts of the field, and whatever he “called them is the same Hebrew word [H7121-Qara] as in v.20 where Adam names  every beast of the fieldStrong’s says Qara means “to cry out, to call aloud, to roar, proclaim, pronounce or preach, to summon, invite, call together, to appoint, praise, celebrate, or call by name.” Its basic meaning is to enunciate a specific message addressed to a specific recipient, to elicit a specific response. The verb form of this word is used in the act of naming, that sometimes is an assertion of sovereignty over the thing being named; [Gen. 1:5, Ps. 147:4, Isa. 40:26]#17
Even as God-the Father of lights asserts His authority and sovereignty over the division of Day and Night in Gen. 1:5, and over the naming of the stars in Ps. 147:4, so Adam asserted his sovereignty over the Animal Kingdoms of life, delegated to him by God.

We should note that Adam’s delegated sovereignty pertained to Earthly things, while God’s sovereignty ruled over all, with special emphasis on the things of the Heavenly Creation, as they shed their 3-fold light upon the Earth. When God calls the roll up yonder for the stars, they are present and accounted for in His summons, to fulfill the reason and purpose He called and created them. The named Stars fulfill their part to proclaim the Celestial Gospel in witnessing to the Coming Christ! This word [Qara] is also found in reference to the Seed of Abraham, namely Isaac, [Gen. 21:12b] “for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.”

Genesis 1:14-16
And God said, 
Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: [15] And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. [16] And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: He made the stars also.

Gen. 1:14: “signs“- indicate first, the significance of the work wrought, and secondlysomeone significant to come.[5] In context, the “work wrought” is God’s re-ordering of creation in the 2nd Heaven and Earthrepairing the damage inflicted on the 1st Heaven and Earth as a result of Lucifer’s revolt in heaven, causing it to be “without form & void.” [Gen1:1, Rev12:1ffGod’s repair job is divided into 7 spiritual administrations, or dispensations, each one bringing man’s relationship with his Creator back into increasing harmony, [Heb. 11:3]. This repair narrative is found in God’s progressive Covenants with Man, with each step bringing man closer to that perfect fellowship in Original Paradise with the Creator restored.

It also refers to the celestial narrative that “someone is coming,” the redeemer, the promised seed who is Jesus Christ. He is the central figure and subject of God’s Word. He is the one that the 12 Mazzaroth signs prophesy, the one embodying the light of the world, who fulfilled all Old Testament Law, and personifies the spiritual illumination of the world. The earth was thrown into Chaos between Gen1:1 & 1:2, but the effulgence of this light, the Sonrise of the ages, was framed between the two great lights of the Sun and the Moon on his birthday, precisely in the star Spica also called Al Zimach in Arabic (tsemach in Hebrew) in Virgo, on Tishri 1, 3 BCJesus’ birthday on New Year’s Day of the Hebrew calendar, celebrates the anniversary of Creation, revitalizing the social and spiritual structure of Israel according to the ruling Standard and scepter of the King of KingsGod had this date preserved in His omniscient foreknowledge before the Creation, instituted in the Hebrew Calendar, uniquely marked by the stars included in the story of Bethlehem on this date in 3 BC. We also find the pattern of the four points of the compass in star and planet signs marking the birth of Christ.

The pattern of eastern access to the Temple and Tabernacle is established in the order of the celestial signs surrounding the birth of Christ. We find this in the pattern of the 3 Jupiter-Venus Conjunctionsmarking Christ’s birth that occurred from to 1 BC. The first Conjunction was in the final degree of Cancer, near its zero line border with Leo. The second was fully in Leo, while the third was in Virgo. These three signs represent the eastern quarter of the zodiac of Israel, the heavenly image of the eastern side of the wilderness camp of the Israelites, the entrance or Way to the Door of the holy place (the truth) in the Hebrew Tabernacle. In Genesis 3:24, after God rejected Adam and Eve from Paradise, He protected the Way of the Tree of Life on the east of Eden, with the Cherubim’s fiery sword, until the redeemer could come to reactivate the way of salvation and eternal life with God, for humanity. This door ultimately led to the altar of the holy of holies, (the Life)-the inner heart of God’s temple-Sanctum, holding the Ark of the Covenant. The temporal progression of 3 Venus planetary unions perfectly matched the divine pattern of Israel’s tribal order on the east side of the TabernacleJudah/Leo was due east of the entrance to the holy of the holies, via the holy placecentrally located between the other two eastern tribes of Issachar/Cancer and Zebulon/Virgo. This eastern door to the Tabernacle represents the way, the truth, and the life, of John 14:6, embodied in Jesus Christ as light of the world, and the door of the sheep, as OT Shepherds slept across the door to their penned flocks, guarding the sheep with their lives, blocking the opening in the fold-walls. A Good Shepherdis seen in the decan Auriga [Jn.10:9-17]. A Great Shepherd [Heb. 13:201Pet. 2:25] & Chief Shepherd in [1Pet. 5:4true way that leads unto life. [See also Jer. 23, 25:32-38Ezek. 34]

Numbers 27:16-17

The Shepherd is the most popular metaphor for Bible leadership, but also we see that God chose actual shepherds for many of the primary roles of leadership over Israel. For example, Moses and King David, are two most prominent paradigms of leadership in all of Scripture, both started out as shepherds. And of course, Ps23:1-a most popular Bible verse, God Himself is compared to a shepherd.

The word for “lights” in the firmament [Gen. 1:14, 16 “maor“]18 is the same word used in reference to the lamps of the Menorah, (Exodus 20:27, 35:14). This word shares the same root of the word used for “light” in [Gen. 1:3-4], that God divided from the darkness, setting the universal standards of Day and Night. It should be noted that the Day was divided from the Night, and the light from darkness prior to the creation of the Sun and Moon. This points to spiritual light vs. dark
[Jn. 1:5], as the reason that the Earth became without form and voidbetween Gen. 1:1-2. The pure Light perfection of the Almighty in perfect righteousness removes any possibility that God created the universe in Chaos, thus the context of Lucifer’s failed insurrection against the Almighty, is the reason the earth was thrown into chaos. Also, the foundational order of Creation seen in God’s order or command to divide the light from the chaotic darkness, was a response to the enemy in his overthrow of God’s original order in the First Heavens and Earth, precedes God’s reorganization of this light in the Second Heavens and Earthduring the “Genesis Creation week.” The verses above also exhibit how the Sun, Moon and Stars regulate seasonsdays and years, in God’s created temporal order.

The Celestial Gospel was always to be based on the long-view of Biblical history of God’s Covenants with man, as they progressively bring man closer to the state of Adam’s original fellowship with God, which God never explained to Adam or any other Bible Patriarch. God’s monumental job of restoring Creation is being set and accomplished by bringing humanity back into a state of spiritual redemption so man can fellowship with God as Adam and Eve did in Original Paradise. God started His dialogue of dividing Day from Night and light from Darkness before He created the Sun and Moon and stars, as the lights in the sky, referenced in His Covenant of Day and Night that began in Gen. 1:3-5, was upheld in Gen. 8:22, and ends in Rev. 21:23-25. This excludes Faulkner’s assertion that God revealed to Adam the details of His foreknowledge regarding the entire Plan of Redemption,#19 that was not included in the Celestial Gospel to begin with! Here Faulkner not only discounts God’s eternal plan and the purposes in His Covenants, but also contradicts Scripture in too many ways to count! The basis for Faulkner’sstrawman” argument against the Celestial Gospel, also ignores the truth that God kept the Great Mystery a secret which excluded it from the Celestial Gospel, as part of His master-plan of Redemption, [I Cor. 2: 7-10, Rom. 16:25-26].

A precept of this study documents how in truth, the Celestial Gospel is clearly and specifically stated in God’s Word, as part of God’s Old Covenants with His chosen people. The Hebrew word for “Covenant” [H1285-Beriyth]#20 is defined as “an agreement between nations; [Josh. 9:6], individuals and friends; [I Sam. 18:323:18] or man and wife, [Mal.2:14]. A most important Covenant between God and Abraham [Gen. 15], was confirmed by Moses, [Ex. 24:7-8, 34:27, Deut. 5:2], was renewed and amendedafter the exilethrough the intervention of the prophets; [Isa. 42:6, 49:8] and the Messiah [Mal. 3:1, cp. Jer. 31:33-37]. It was a treaty, an alliance of friendship, a pledge, an obligation between a Monarch and his subjects, a Constitution. It was a contract accompanied by signs, a solemn oath and sacrifices, that sealed the relationship with promises of blessing for obedience and curses for disobedience.”

The Celestial Gospel also documents the effectual means of Oral transmission of the Covenant tenetsnot replacing their foundations in God’s perpetual Scriptural Covenants with man, but as an inseparable part of them, prior to their being recorded into the scrolls of the OT Scriptures by Moses. Man has always needed an external standard for Godly truth outside of himself, working in union with man’s inner compass and Godgiven conscience, that began with Adam & Eve in the Garden, before the giving of the OT Law. We will see more details of this in the record of the Abrahamic Covenant below.

Covenant Theology holds that God created humanity as one people, starting with Adam and Eve, who broke God’s only condition, not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil. After their fall from perfection, and rejection from Original Paradise, and with their seed in Seth, were led back to God via certain key Biblical Patriarchs with whom God made perpetual Covenants. This redemptive history, starts after the fall of Adam and Eve, as God makes firm His Covenant with Noah [Gen. 6:18] to bring him and his family into the Ark, with every living thing of all fleshtwo of every sortmale and female. In Gen. 9God established His Covenant with Noah and his seed after him [Gen. 9:9-17], with His token of the Covenant on 2 levels: with every living creature on the Ark with Noah, for perpetual generations, and with Earth itself, seen in the rainbow, not to destroy it by flood again.

Figure 1. Genesis Patriarch’s Table. 21

By adding up the age of years in the genealogies of Genesis 5 and 11 we find the number of years from the Creation of Adam to the birth of Abraham as about 2000 years. Since there is almost universal agreement that Abraham lived around 2000 B.C., we can see the Bible teaching that the human race was created near 4000 B.C. and is thus, is about 6000 years old.

Noah is a key Biblical Patriarch because he embodies the transition between the pre-flood and the post-flood world. Thus all the systems of Biblical timekeeping going back to Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob & Joseph, after the flood, includes the coordination of the luni-solar year, the year divided into 12 months of 30 days, giving360-day year, relating to the 360 degrees of the circle, all trace back to Noah’s pre-flood days. Thus, the calendrical practices of the Patriarchs of the Bible are summarized in Noah, combining the Lunar, Solar and Sidereal years in his standards of astronomical timekeeping. Since Noah was already 600 years old when the deluge fell upon Earth [Gen. 7:6], Noah’s use of this calendar continued, up to and including the 120-year period (120 x 3= 360), wherein he built and furnished the Ark. The Ark’s construction was according to the revealed plan of God, following a consistent divine pattern, the same tripartite pattern found in the Tabernacle of Moses and the Temple of David and Solomon, based on 3 Heavens and Earth’s and 3-fold creation of man in body, soul & spirit. Noah’s Covenant basis for his 360-day calendar, is also found in God’s Covenant of Day and Night, as we will see presently.

The Genesis record of Noah establishes the advanced astronomical practices of the Biblical Patriarchsprovidingbasis from which, the roots of ancient Astronomy and studies in Archaeo-Astronomy are traced to their true context. Noah’s Covenant with God took place after his family came out of the Ark, and included the first burnt offerings on the altar that Noah built, [Gen. 8:20-22]. This established an unconditional Covenant relating to the Earth, even as God’s Covenant with Abraham did, referring to Israel’s claim on the Promised Land. This is in opposition to those who would remove or ignore God’s perpetual claim on the Promised Land that He chose for His People, as the Creator of Heaven and Earth.

The accuracy of these ordinances of heaven set the standard for truth, in the key area of calendars and timekeeping also, still applied today, according to the perpetual Covenant of Day and Night [Jer. 33:20-22]. This is one trait of “heavenly mandates” that their truths can remain intact beyond the scope of their original Biblical Administration. In the record of Gen. 8 and Noah’s Flood, verse 22 certainly stands out as an ordinance of heaven that has remained a constantgoverning the seasons [Gen. 1:14after the flood. This is a key aspect of God’s Covenant with Noah, where God’s Promises are made with Noah and his seed, that day and night shall not cease.

Genesis 8:22
While the earth remainsseedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

This verse opens with the words; “While the earth remains,” speaking to this Covenant being Everlasting and perpetual in nature because the Earth will be around forever. The connective “and” is found 7 times in v. 22, and according to Bullinger “pairs four sets of opposites, to express the completion and perfection of this perpetual Covenant,” that shall not cease.#22  In Gen. 9, as God further established His Covenant with Noah, and his seed and every living beast on earth, with His token or sign of an everlasting Covenant, listed 7x in Gen. 9; [Gen. 9:9, 1112, 13, 15, 16, 17], that The Almighty established with all flesh upon the Earth. Gen. 8:22 is a key aspect of the “Rainbow Covenantwith Noah, as the productivity of the earth’s life cycles in four seasons, in the 4 Kingdoms of lifeperpetuate in the 2nd Heavens and Earth, in the Covenant of day and night, [Jer. 31:31-37]. Gen. 8:22 also reflects the biblical symbolism of the number four, as the first square number mathematically, witnessed pervasively in nature, as 4 elements of earth, wind, fire, and water, four points of the compassnorth, south, east and west. Also, the 4 lunar phases, mirror the 4 Cherubim angels that quarter the 12 Mazzaroth signs. There are also four heads of the animal kingdom, witnessed in the four constellations at the celestial cardinal pointsLeo the Lion-King of wild beastsTaurus the Bull and king of domesticated animalsAquila the Eagle, king of the bird kingdom, and the ManAquarius of the human kingdom. There are numerous other examples of biblical symbolism in the number four, like the four-fold ministry of Christ reflected in the Four Gospels, supporting this wisdom in God’s order of Creation. #23
