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 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.

Figure B. The Northern Astronomical Vesica

celestial design of the heavens

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.

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#

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!

My first interest in Biblical Astronomy was sparked during the study of the celestial signs surrounding the Birth of Christ in the late 70's and early 80's. This grew into a greater interest in Astronomy, resulting in numerous studies, clubs and activities as an amateur astronomer. Starting around 2003 I began working on the Try-God website, as a venue to publish my various articles and studies in Biblical Astronomy, which in the last 10 years, has garnered interest from an audience around the globe. With renewed effort and energy, we are expanding on our initial efforts with the website, for a more effective outreach to our growing audience.
